Ladybug landed in front of the Agreste mansion, the transformed Master Fu beside her. He quickly dropped the transformation, once again becoming the unassuming, elderly man he usually was. The two of them strode in together.
Adrien was sitting on the staircase in the entry hall. He was looking upset, though that was understandable. Plagg was floating nearby, trying to comfort him. Adrien looked up when the two of them entered the room, giving a brief smile as he stood.
"Master Fu," he said, "Do you think you can bring my mother back?" His eyes were kindled with hope, temporarily dispelling the melancholy.
"I can not guarantee anything," Master Fu sighed, "I can only try."
Adrien seemed to accept this response, recognizing the lack of confidence Master Fu had. He stood silently as Ladybug led Master Fu into the office. There they descended the elevator and returned to the hidden, underground chamber. Gabriel was still there, standing before the coffin, seeming to be talking to his lost wife. He turned as they approached.
"You!" Gabriel said in surprise, recognizing the elderly master, "You're the guardian?"
"Yes, I am," Master Fu's expression was hard to read as he looked up at the villain he had sought to defeat, "Please move aside that I may work."
"So, can you heal her?" Gabriel looked hopeful as he let the short man pass. The similarity between his and Adrien's expressions was uncanny.
"I make no promises," Master Fu sat down and began to prepare the healing ritual. He had brought with him his gong, a number of herbs, scented candles, and incense sticks. When he healed Tikki, he didn't use all this, but he was attempting something much more serious this time.
"Ladybug, can you bring me the missing miraculous while I prepare the ritual?" he glanced up at her, "I will not begin until both are in my possession."
"Yes, master," Ladybug nodded, then turned to Gabriel, "Please give me the peacock miraculous."
There was a brief flicker of defiance in Gabriel's eyes, but then he sighed and reached inside his jacket, reluctantly producing the peacock miraculous. Ladybug took it from him with a smile and handed it to Master Fu. The elderly master looked at it with an expression of relief.
"Now for the butterfly," Ladybug smirked. She reached into the container space of her yoyo, pulling out the broken pieces of the shattered miraculous, before activating her miraculous ladybugs. Soon the familiar wave of warmth washed over her as they restored all the damage from the recent battle, including the last miraculous. For the first time, Ladybug held the restored brooch of the butterfly.
Ladybug focused on the miraculous, calling force the kwami contained inside. There was a purplish light as a kwami with butterfly wings materialized beside her. Nooroo looked surprised at first, but upon seeing Ladybug's smile, his face immediately brightened.
"Ladybug!" he shouted in joy, "You've saved me!"
"Yeah," Ladybug nodded, "It's all over now."
Nooroo looked around, seeing first his old master standing there, watching with a sad expression. The kwami seemed to cower instinctually under that gaze, but then shook himself out of it, looking defiant. He knew he was no longer under Gabriel's control; he was free. Then he turned and saw the elderly guardian watching him.
"So good to see you again, Nooroo," Master Fu smiled, looking even more relieved as he took the last miraculous from Ladybug.
"Master Fu!" Nooroo exclaimed, "You're so old now!"
Master Fu couldn't help but laugh, overjoyed at being reunited with the kwami after so long. "Yes, I suppose I am older than the last time you saw me," he admitted, "We can talk more later, for now, I think you should rest." Nooroo gratefully returned to the miraculous at Master Fu's command.
"Now I will begin the ritual," Master Fu's expression turned solemn again as he addressed Gabriel, "You may stay and watch, or return upstairs, it does not matter to me."
