A/N: Sorry it's been a while (More like ages) I've had pretty rough time recently. I kinda feel terrible and I didn't want to effect this chapter's quality with my dull mood. To make up for that I've tried to make this chapter a bit longer, it's around 4500-4950 words long.

To be honest I am kinda stumped with this, so I may not update for a while so I can clear my thoughts. I may write chapters in advance but go over them before putting them up and I'll definitely re-read this. I may even do a rewrite. I really feel like the quality of this story has dropped.

But there is no way I'm ever quitting this. I live for writing, it helps me to escape from reality, even just for a little bit. So...

Till next time,

D.L.D

"Watch out!" Queen Bee called out to Bunnix as she threw her spinning top towards the akuma behind the heroine. The pinkette ducked just in time before kicking the akuma onto its knees. Not giving it a chance to get back up, the heroine then grabbed the akuma's scarf, ripping the akumatised object to reveal Juleka Couffaine.

Her dark and violet hair blended in with the night sky as her brown eyes shone in the moonlight. The young woman rubbed her head as a violet substance swept away from her, after turning her back into her normal self. Juleka groaned as she felt a pounding sensation in her skull. This had never happened before...

During her teenage years, Juleka had been akumatised multiple times before, but never like this. Usually Hawkmoth would talk you into aiding him, making the victim agree to become his servant, but Luna Moth was doing it forcefully. As soon as the violet butterfly landed on you, you were lost to her empty promises and soft voice. Never having an option on whether to join her or not.

Juleka sighed as she was helped to her feet by Bunnix. The rabbit themed heroine smiled softly at her former classmate.

The heroine knew that the heroes were struggling to tackle the waves of akumas that Luna Moth was creating. They were already outnumbered greatly and she could spot Ryuko, Carapace and Chat Noir trying to hold back the stronger akumas from not too far away. If they kept going like this, then they'd be done for.

Running a hand through her short pink hair, the rabbit themed heroine pressed her lips into a thin line. She knew that she had something in her pocket that could help. But would giving it to Juleka be a good idea?

The female contemplated for a few seconds longer, before sighing as she gave in and turned to Juleka.

"We're going to need your help," The heroine spoke as she got a small black octagonal box from her pocket.

"What's that?" Juleka asked as she peered at the box.

The woman hadn't recalled seeing one like that and she had seen plenty. What interested her the most was the inscription on the top. It looked like it was written in Chinese and Juleka couldn't help but feel intrigued by it.

"No time to explain," Bunnix spoke as she peered over her shoulder. Carapace was gradually getting cornered by a gang of brutish akumas, each cracking their knuckles as they smirked at the hero. She had to be quick if this battle wasn't going to result in casualties.

"Just put this on and your kwami will explain," Bunnix blurted before calling a burrow and teleporting away.

"Kwami?" Juleka repeated as she was left with the box, "I don't understand any of it, but I'll do it."

Excited to see what was in the box, the young woman opened it. Her eyes widened in surprise as she spotted a Panjas bracelet. It was made of silver with a magenta stone with a yellow paw print, before it branched out into four different paths, each ending with a silver charm. It looked extremely reminiscent of the miraculous the other heroes had...

Wanting to put it on, Juleka slipped on the Panjas bracelet. It fitted comfortably and everything was normal, before a small orb of violet light appeared revealing a small tiger-like creature.

It floated in front of the young woman, its striped magenta face peering at the confused, yet excited, Juleka.

"Hello, I'm Roaar," The small creature smiled, "I'm the kwami of the tiger miraculous!"

"Juleka," She smiled, "Now what did Bunnix mean about you explaining everything to me?"

"Well, in short I am a kwami and I can grant you superpowers," Roaar explained, "You can activate your transformation by saying 'Roaar let's prowl!' to detransform say the opposite more or less. You also have a power that can be activated by a key phrase but that will be in the users guide. But right now you just need to transform."

Juleka nodded as she understood the kwami's words, "Roaar let's prowl!"

With that a magenta light cascaded her and she was replaced with a heroine dressed in a dark magenta and black tiger-striped super suit and matching mask, with magenta ears with black stripes poking out of her dark, violet tipped hair which was in a ponytail. Around her waist rested her weapon, a whip, and she wore knee high boots.

"Nice upgrade," She smiled as she looked at herself before taking out her whip.

It had a black handle and looked like it could do some serious damage. Wanting to test it out, Juleka raised her arm and it followed. The female then quickly brought it down, causing the whip to hit a nearby akuma. It hissed in pain before glaring at the tiger themed heroine.

"You'll pay for that!" I charged towards the new heroine, before there was a slight whip sound.

Juleka grinned as she held two whips, one in each hand, and the akuma struggled against her weapon. The whip was wrapped tightly around the akuma, rendering any attempts to escape useless. Ryuko rushed up to the new heroine, a smile on her face.

"Thanks for the easy catch!" Ryuko smiled at her before breaking the akumatised object, causing a violet butterfly to fly away. It was then captured in Ladybug's yo-yo.

"No problem," Juleka blushed, "Though I am a little lost."

"You'll get used to it soon," Ryuko spoke as she threw her sword at Despair Bear, trapping the bear on a wall, "Now if you'll excuse me I have to get another akuma."

The new heroine chuckled at Ryuko's bluntness before focusing back on the battle. Hopefully she'd be of use to the heroes.

Sapphire Paonne perched on a nearby lamppost watching as her sentimonsters made their way towards the battle. It hadn't been too long since she'd instructed them all to come to the Arc de Triomphe, but the teen couldn't help but worry. She chewed her bottom lip as her eyes darted from left to right, trying to locate her creations.

The next part of the plan couldn't start without them and if they didn't show it'd be a disaster. Maybe even a massacre.

Furrowing her brow, Sapphire Paonne tried to contact one of her smarter creations. She had to know if they were on their way...

'Are you on your way to the battle?'

'Almost there,' The sentimonster's voice replied, 'We just had a little delay because the lollipop monster went missing.'

'Of course he did,' Sapphire Paonne sighed as she looked down at the scene below. The lollipop sentimonster had a habit of disappearing frequently. It often occurred at the most inconvenient times as well.

A ray was aimed at the peacock themed heroine and she narrowly dodged it. She held onto the lamppost, her legs dangling, before swinging back onto the top of it.

'Ok, but make sure to be here soon,' The heroine spoke as she threw her fan at a nearby akuma, 'I don't think the heroes can last much longer.'

With that she severed the mental bond between the monster and herself and caught her fan as it boomeranged back. Everything was turning out for the better. Once her monsters arrive, she'll be able to tell the heroes the next part of the plan was ready. Then, they'd all make their way to Lila and beat her at her own game. Then all of this could be over and everything would go back to normal.

The heroine smiled as she thought about it: Normality. The one thing she'd never had in her life. The teen laughed as she thought about it. It was ironic because most people wished for an extraordinary life, but not this teen. She wanted to be normal. Nothing about her life was normal, everything was different...

A large crashing sound disrupted the teen's thoughts. She blinked as she could hear the akuma's angry cries. It continued to rage in her mind, banging and thrashing on its mental cage, attempting to escape. Its shrieks filled her ears and she covered her ears only for it to get louder. The akuma screamed and screamed, ranting and raging as it threatened the teen.

It disturbed her inner peace as she tried to block it out, and Sapphire Paonne couldn't help but wish it would just shut up. It was the one flaw in the plan and it only made things worse that it decided to taunt her as it tried to escape. It was like a reminder of the failure she was. Always doing the opposite of what she should be doing...

'Why are you even helping them?' It spoke, 'They're not your family.'

'They're more of a family than my mother ever was to me,' The teen answered bluntly, knowing it was trying to get her to play its games. If she opened up to it, the it'd swallow her whole. That's how it went every other time she tried to cooperate with her other half.

'Are you sure?' The akuma spoke, its voice echoing, 'They could just be using you~'

Its snake-like voice filled her ears as it echoed around her, clouding her thoughts. Sapphire Paonne just sighed as she tried to ignore the akuma's temptations.

'I'll take that risk,' She answered in monotone.

'You're no fun,' The akuma chuckled, 'Way too uptight.'

Its voice faded like a distant memory; its chuckle being the last thing she heard.

"Thanks," The teen replied knowing it would annoy the akuma. She wasn't in the mood to entertain it right now, she had a role to fulfill and everyone in Paris was relying on her. She couldn't ruin this for everyone, not when they were so close to fixing everything. She couldn't be the failure she usually is.

Sapphire Paonne sighed as she watched her first few sentimonsters attack the akumas down below. They were merciless, pushing the akumas aside as if they were blades of grass. Each akuma and sentimonster was met by its equal, each having an opposing weapon. Some had swords, some shields, many just their instincts.

The heroine watched intently as each side came up with its own plan to take down the other. The battle had descended into complete silence until a voice cried out.

"Attack!" With that both armies swarmed against each other, tangling within one another.

Sapphire Paonne smiled as she spotted the heroes watching the scene. They all shared bemused expressions and the teen couldn't help but laugh at the sight. Getting out her communicator, the heroine leaped down from the lamppost. All of her mother's schemes were coming to an end tonight.

"The sentimonsters have arrived," Viperion smiled as he heard the words on his communicator.

Everything was working in the heroes' favour and he was pretty sure that for once they might be able to win. He knew that for a long time they'd been going back and forth between winning and losing against Lila, and knew what affects it had on everyone.

Even he himself experienced some moments of depression or the thought of quitting his superhero job. Everything just seemed to be coming down at once and he didn't know if he could keep continuing. But tonight that was about to change.

"So this is what my big bro's been doing," Juleka placed her hands on her hips as she looked at him.

"Juleka?" Viperion peered at his sister, "How did you know?"

"I have my ways," She grinned as she examined her clawed gloves, "I've known all of your identities for years now."

"And you're mentioning that now?" Queen Bee raised a brow at the heroine.

Juleka shrugged, "Just thought I might say it before we all die. It was nice knowing you all."

"Way to go with the negativity," Bunnix sighed, "There's no way we're dying, Jules."

"Tell that to the crazy akuma lady on the Arc de Triomphe," The heroine shrugged as she pointed at Lila.

The female was rapidly switching between forms. First she was Volpina, then Chameleon, next was Vixen and finally her new form Luna Moth 2.0. Each person had a different power and the female could be seen using them from atop the arch. A swarm of akumas gathered around her as she shot rays and beams from her spot and the heroes couldn't help but shiver at the sight.

"Ok maybe Juleka has a point," Chat Noir spoke.

"She has more than a point," Carapace agreed, "She's basically confirming that we're going on a suicide mission."

"Don't be ridiculous," Rena Rouge scoffed, "We'll find a way around it. Right Ladybug? Ladybug?"

The heroes all turned to the spot the heroine had stood in, to see that she was missing.

"Where could she have gone?" Sapphire Paonne spoke as she sighed through the communicator. Surprisingly, no-one had turned it off and the teen had heard the entire conversation.

"Maybe she went to get a snack?" Mighty Mouse raised a brow, her multicolored space buns making her expression look adorable.

"Maybe..." All of the heroes drifted into their thoughts before hearing the familiar sound of the heroine's yo-yo.

Ladybug smiled as she landed gracefully, holding the miracle box in her hands as Pegasus and King Monkey landed beside her. The other heroes stared in bemusement as she dusted herself off, making sure her baby bump was fine before opening the miracle box.

"I need you all to find someone trustworthy," She explained as she gave four heroes a box each, "We don't have much time. Lila could send a new wave of akumas at any time."

"How did you-"

"When did you-"

"We don't have time," Ladybug spoke in a firm voice, "I need four of you to do this. Just find someone trustworthy and get back here."

Understanding the heroine's urgency was caused by stress, and hormones, the other heroes agreed. Not wanting to anger the pregnant heroine any further, Juleka, Mighty Mouse, Queen Bee and Viperion took off, ready to give the miraculous to a lucky user.

Sabrina sighed. She had had a long day at work and just wanted to enjoy a long bubble bath. Untying her messy bun, the young woman went into her bathroom to start running her bubble bath. She had turned on the hot water and added the babble bath, when she heard a knock on her door.

Groaning, she approached the front door of her apartment. She hadn't expected any visitors today. Opening the door, Sabrina's eyes widened to see her ex-best friend Chloe Bourgeois, well rather her alter ego, Queen Bee. The ginger stood there, her mouth agape as she blinked. Chloe was actually standing there. At her front door. This could not be happening!

"Hey Sabrina," The blonde smiled, only to have the door slammed in her face, "Ok, I deserve that."

Sabrina stood behind the door, pacing back and forth as she gripped her hair.

"Ok, Chloe's here and she's come to tell me something but what?" She spoke as she paced, "Has something happened? Does she want to repair our broken friendship?"

"Sabrina!" Chloe banged on the door, "Just open up and I'll explain!"

The ginger froze as she heard the familiar sharpness in her former friend's tone. Chloe only got this impatient when she had something vital to say. Taking a deep breath and composing herself, Sabrina opened the front door to see a slightly irritated Queen Bee.

"Hey Chloe," She smiled shakily before wrapping her friend in a hug, "I missed you!"

"Me too," Queen Bee hugged her former best friend, "So? Are you going to invite me in or not?"

"Oh, of course!" The ginger beamed as she moved out of the way to allow the heroine inside, "Sorry it's a mess, I just got back from work."

"It's fine," Queen Bee shrugged it off, "This will only take a sec."

The heroine then produced a black octagonal box and handed it to the ginger. Sabrina blinked as she stared at it.

"A gift?" The ginger adjusted her glasses as she looked at the writing on top, "Is it a miraculous?"

"Yes, how did you-"

"I took mandarin lessons after you left for the US with your mom," Sabrina shrugged as she opened the box.

Inside was a dog collar necklace. It was plain black and had simple yet intricate details. Sabrina smiled at the piece of jewelry.

"So? You'll help the heroes take down Luna Moth?" Queen Bee raised a brow.

"Of course I will," Sabrina smiled at her friend as she put on the necklace, "You know, even when you left for America I still told everyone you were my bestie. I used to wait all night for you to call me and say you were coming back," The ginger's voice wavered as she thought back to her teen years, "...But no matter what, I always stayed loyal. As I always was taught to do."

A orange light then filled the room and the two female's opened their eyes to see a kwami floating before them. It yawned slightly before noticing the two women.

"Oh...hi! I'm Barkk," It chimed, "The kwami of the dog miraculous!"

"Hi Barkk," Sabrina smiled warmly at the kwami.

Barkk blinked as she looked at her chosen, "Did I hear this right? I thought she'd be confused."

"You and me both buster," Queen Bee sighed as she played with her communicator, "Can you wrap this up? We have a battle to fight."

"Fine, if I must," Barkk sighed as she (AN: Not sure since they're male in the French dub, but female in the English. I just went with English since I'm English) used her tiny hands to rub her forehead, "I can grant you superpowers and make you a superhero. But in order to do that you must say Barkk let's make some noise!"

"Is that all?" Sabrina tilted her head. She didn't want to miss any vital information about her powers.

"Yep, everything else will be in the users guide," Barkk nodded, "And since someone said we're short on time, that's all I need to say."

With that the ginger nodded and spoke, "Barkk, let's make noise!"

An orange light soon cascaded over Sabrina as her transformation began. Her ginger hair was left out, with tan ribbons tied to look like dog ears on either side of her head. Her clothes were replaced by an tan and white super suit patterned to look like a dog's coat of fur with a boarder of black spots along her neckline. A tan mask was on her face, grey lines outlining the edge and grey spots at the bottom of her eyes. A tail coat appeared, resembling a tail and a wooden staff appeared on the female's back.

Once the transformation was over, Sabrina examined herself. It was like her tried, work-driven self was gone and replaced with an energetic and crime-fighting version. The ginger grinned as she got her staff and noticed how she already knew how to use it.

"I think I'm ready to go!" Sabrina grinned.

"Great! Now before we go," Queen Bee sighed as she headed towards the nearest window, "I think you might need to stop running that bubble bath of yours."

"Oh yeah!" The ginger then dashed off as the blonde chuckled at the action. It definitely reminded them both of their high school days.

Rose smiled as she hum a tune, while folding away some of her and Juleka's washing. It had been a while since she'd heard anything from her roommate, but she knew that due to the akuma attack (Which she had gotten caught up in) she was probably held up.

The petite blonde continued to hum as she happily got on with some of the housework while waiting for her other half. It was the sound of a key opening the front door, that made her smile and rush to the hall.

"Juleka!" Rose smiled faltered as she expected to find her roommate/ best friend and not a superhero instead, "Um...who are you?"

"I'm Tigress," The heroine chuckled as she held a black box out to the blonde, "And the heroes are going to need your help."

"My help?" Rose blinked, "Me?"

The heroine nodded and the blonde burst into a fit of adorable giggles. Her cheeks flushed red as tears of laughter fell from her eyes. The heroes wanted her, Rose Lavillant, the most kind and nurturing person on Earth to fight with them? This had to be a joke. There was no way anyone would believe that the blonde would go psycho on anyone.

"Why...would I..do that?" She breathed as she tried not to laugh at the very thought of being a superhero, "I wouldn't hurt a fly."

"But you fought Lila Rossi once," Tigress smirked at her friend, "Come on Rose! It'll be fun! And then we can stop all of this conflict between the heroes and Luna Moth!"

"How did you know about that! Unless...Juleka?" The blonde peered up at her friend, "Is that you?"

"Yes," The heroine sighed as she placed the box in Rose's hand.

"So you're involved with the akumas and everything?" The petite woman blinked as she looked at the box.

"Yes," Tigress nodded, her tiger ears flattening against her hair. She felt like Rose was going to scold her, like all the times she'd done some really idiotic things. But to her surprise, this time she didn't.

"Then I'll help!" Rose grinned, "Just tell me what to do!"

A grin found its way onto Juleka's lips and her tiger ears propped up, "Yes! First step is to put on that bracelet."

Nathaniel tried to catch his breath as he finally stopped running away from the battle scene. He was at a coffee shop not too far away from the 'Arc de Triomphe', but far enough for him to be safe. The red head sighed as he smelt the comforting scent of coffee and other brewed drinks. It had been a while since he'd come to this coffee shop, even though it was his favourite.

After ordering something to help calm himself down, the redhead seated himself at a window seat. Pulling out his sketchbook Nathaniel began to draw. Using the night as his inspiration, the young man became so immersed in his work that he didn't notice the snake-themed hero beside him.

"It's been a while Nathaniel," The hero smiled as the young man's eyes widened.

"Viperion!" Nathaniel turned to smile at his old acquaintance, "It has been a while. So? Have you come to ask for some commissions?"

"Not this time," The hero laughed, "This time I need some help on the field."

"The battlefield?" The redhead shivered as he thought about it. Being a hero seemed like a lot of fearless work and he wasn't cut out for that. The redhead was known to be quite a shy person. Even though he'd dreamed of being a hero, he knew he wasn't cut out for it. It was better off if he remained doing his usual work: commissions, artwork and studying. He didn't need anything else.

"Yes," The hero spoke as he took a sip of his coffee, "I have a feeling you'd be of great use."

"I doubt that," Nathaniel chuckled, "Maybe you should ask someone else about this...I'm just not cut out for it."

"No-one's born a hero," Viperion laughed as his blue eyes stared at the now pouring rain, "I wasn't and neither were Ladybug and Chat Noir. You'd be surprised if you knew how clumsy they both are in reality."

Nathaniel smiled at the hero's words. Somehow they had made him feel a little warmer on this dreary winter night. But even so, deciding to do this would still be a major decision. He'd have to think this over.

Nathaniel sighed as he contemplated. Why was life filled with so many difficult decisions?

"Could I maybe think it over?" The redhead peered at Viperion.

"Not really," The hero smiled sheepishly, "It's either now or never. Plus I'm pretty sure Ladybug would be pretty pissed if I didn't bring back a hero."

"I see," Nathaniel sank into his thoughts again.

Should he risk everything to live his childhood dream? Was being a hero really worth his life? This seemed like all too much for the man to decide. All of is life he'd had everything mapped out in his mind, but now he had found a surprise. But this surprise was different from others. It would be life-changing.

Biting his lip, Nathaniel made his choice.

"What do you want me to do?" He looked at Viperion, determination in his eyes.

Ivan's brow furrowed in confusion as he tried Mylene's number again. It rang several times before going to the young woman's voicemail.

"Hey it's Mylene! I'm busy right now but I'll get back as soon as possible!" Her voice rang in the man's ears.

"Where is she?" Ivan spoke as he thought about what could have happened.

He knew that she'd set out for work earlier that day and said that she'd be home at the usual time. But it's been a couple of hours and now Ivan was worried. Mylene was usually on time and if she was late she'd tell him. This was entirely out of character for her.

Checking his phone once again, Ivan notices a notification he must've gotten while calling Mylene. Selecting it, the man's eyes widened as he saw a picture of Horrificator on the screen. It's hideous blue, purple and violet form looming over the other akumas. The young man's nerves worsened as he remembered the incident that had happened while he was a teenager. It hadn't ended too well and he remembered a lot of things happening at once.

Ivan turned, only to spot a small woman in a mouse-themed super suit. She smiled at him and waved.

"Ivan!" She gave him a hug.

"Do I know you?" He raised a brow as he looked at the young woman.

"Whoops," She giggled, "Sorry. I forgot you don't. I'm Mighty Mouse, the newest addition to Paris' hero team!"

Ivan smiled at the woman's adorable display. It reminded him a lot of Mylene. The way she'd choose innocent words and use them in an adorable way. Not to mention the woman's height matched hers.

"Anyway," The woman continued, breaking Ivan's train of thought, "I came here to deliver this!"

She then placed a small black box into his hands, "This is a miraculous and with it you'll become a superhero!"

"A superhero?" Ivan repeated.

"Yep," Mighty Mouse nodded, "Anyway your kwami will explain things after you transform, but in order to do that you need to put on the miraculous."

"You mean this nose ring?" Ivan asked.

"Yep," Mighty Mouse nodded as the young man put it on.

A dark blue orb of light appeared before bursting and revealing a yawning kawmi.

"Sorry," It covered its mouth, "Hi I'm Stompp, the kwami of the Ox miraculous! You must be Ivan."

"How did you-"

"Us kwamis know a lot of things about people," Stompp chuckled, "We've been around for eons. Anyway we need to get this show on the road and to do that you need to say 'Stompp let's charge!'"

"Is that all?" Ivan raised a brow.

"Yep," Stompp and Mighty Mouse smiled.

"Ok then, but I'm only agreeing to this because people are in danger," Ivan spoke.

A blue light then flooded the room before two figures fled into the night sky.
