Here is the end of the second season trilogy. I hope you like it. Also, I recently learned Master Fu called himself Jade Turtle when he was active. However, I'll be sticking to the name Sea Green Turtle to keep my continuity.
Marinette was in her room lying on her bed, but something was different. Part of her room wasn't normal. She could see a section of her room was dark. On a stand was a preserved akuma.
"I'm in my soul room. But why?"
There was a knock on the trapdoor. Curious, which version of her was visiting, Marinette opened the door and let in Belle Bleue. The Peacock wielder was opening and closing her fan over and over again in agitation. "Thank goodness I was able to get to you. I found out something about my abilities, which I think you should know about your situation."
Marinette blinked. "You know what's going on currently with me? How? Once the splintering was fixed we should only be able to talk about our current situation to another part of our soul, not sense or see it."
Belle Bleue shrugged her shoulder. "Maybe it has something to do with my special ability? I don't know for sure, but that's not the point!" At this time, she opened her fan and plucked a feather out.
"Do you recall what my feathers do when I'm transformed?"
Marinette nodded recalling that a Peacock's feathers, made from the bond of wielder and kwami, had the ability to heal the sick.
Belle Bleue nodded then explained the feathers from her costume could heal, but the feathers from her fan could summon an ally for people. "Two different ways to use inner strength. One physical and one mentally."
Marinette was taken aback with this information. "Master Fu informed Adrien and me at the last meeting that he and Ning strongly believe he's got a partner of some kind."
"A partner, who can help him by either being an Akuma or using a Miraculous," the blue colored hero confirmed. "You must be careful. Duusu told me the summons are more powerful when they are working with a champion/akumas."
"I'll let Master Fu know. I better wake up right now. Thanks for the help Belle Bleue."
"Anything for my sister soul."
Marinette woke up in bed, still tired. She had been up most of the night, preparing her good deed for everyone on Heroes Day. Adrien's gift was resting on her desk, Luka had given it to her yesterday and she had thanked him from the bottom of her heart.
Her good deed for everyone today would be hosting a picnic with lots of healthy sandwiches, juice, and of course; lots of sweet treats. She hadn't gone to bed until two a.m. to ensure everything was perfect.
Tikki, who had been sleeping in her tiny little bed, open her eyes. She was very surprised to see Marinette up so early. "Marinette, is something wrong?"
Her wielder nodded and explained what she had learned. "We need to see Master Fu today. I wish he would give me a phone number to call him, instead of making me come to the shop."
Tikki chided her, "You know it's a security precaution to keep him safe. It's the same reason you take different routes each time you visit."
The teenager rolled her eyes and muttered something about inconveniences and not enough time in the day. A glance at the clock told her that while she had woken up early, she would need all that time to check on the food and get ready for school.
Over at Adrien's house, the teenager was trying to work the kinks out of his body. It felt to him as if his body was stiff as a board. "Ugh, can you believe it's finally Heroes Day Plagg?"
"What's the big deal?" Plagg asked in between bites. "You're a hero every day. You don't need a holiday to celebrate the fact."
"Chat Noir is a hero, Adrien Agreste is a model. I want to do a good deed for the day, but I'm booked solid today. School, fencing, Chinese lessons, and then I have to attend the Heroes Day Gala, my father is throwing for the city tonight."
Plagg's eyebrows rose to the top of his head. Galas and doing a good deed for other people? "Are you sure your father hasn't been replaced by a plant person?"
Adrien laughed and told Plagg to get into the bag. He had to leave soon for school.
Meanwhile, Alya and Nino were already walking to school, eager to share their good deeds ideas with the whole class. Alya was hopping in delight as she rechecked the text message from the mayor.
"Can you believe this Nino? It took a lot of persuasions and even putting up a webpage asking for funds to cover half the expenses, but it worked! The mayor agreed to update the schools with handicap accessibility and student supplies so both teachers and students can go to school without trouble."
"That is so cool Alya!" Nino said while giving her a thumbs up. He pulled off his cap and pulled out a piece of paper, before setting it back on his head. "I made sure to put this list where I wouldn't forget it. It's a list of tunes I'm going to play at the retirement home after school. The elders will be up and booging across the dance floor."
Alya laughed a little. "Don't be surprised if they don't know any modern dance moves. Maybe I'll join you and we can do the lindy."
Coming from the opposite direction was Rose and Juleka. The petite blond was looking at her friend, more perky than usual. She was already talking a mile a minute.
"Today is so wonderful don't you think? I'm going to visit people in the hospital to cheer them up. It will be just like when I went with Prince Ali." Rose looked sad for a second. "I wish Prince Ali was here. I would love to work with him again."
Juleka assured her, she would have fun visiting people even without a prince by her side. "I am glad to help my mom, but I hope she doesn't go overboard with the pirate talk. It might scare the kids we deliver our booty to."
Suddenly, Juleka stopped and looked around her. She could have sworn she felt someone looking at her. I'm imagining things. "Let's get to school Rose."
The two girls continued on their way. If they had looked up they might have caught a glimpse of a young woman flying away from the roof of a nearby building.
Five minutes later, Peace Keeper landed on Master Fu's roof. She stealthily went down the stairs and entered Master Fu's place. He and the Kwamiis were waiting for her to report.
"No doubt about it. I felt it in the air. Today is the day Hawkmoth plans to attack. Every Miraculous wielder is healthy and ready to act at a moment's notice."
Fu nodded grimly. "I will prepare the Miraculouses for use once I've finished setting up the wards. Continue your surveillance and alerted me the second there's trouble. Our heroes will need to react swiftly."
Peace Keeper promised to alert him. Her eyes locked with Honorra for a few seconds. The message was clear. The magpie nodded as the Apprentice returned to the roof.
Near lunchtime at the Agreste mansion, Gabriel was in the backyard looking at a statue of his wife, he had commissioned for her birthday the year before her enchanted sleep. Seeing Emilie's sweet face staring back at him made his heartache even worse than before. "Today is my day," he whispered to himself.
Nathalie, who was coming out to the backyard, paused a few minutes. Gabriel looked so hopeful that he would finally have his wife back. Everything he had done over the last year was to restore his family.
I still can't forgive him for cursing Adrien and keeping the Butterfly. At the same time, I understand the depths someone will go for someone they love. After all, isn't that what I'm about to do? Nathalie contemplated in her mind.
Fully stepping into the back yard, she approached her boss. "Are you ready sir?"
He nodded. "Are you sure you're ready Nathalie?"
"I'm sure. Anything to help return your family to normal." She held out her tablet revealing her investigation results from checking in on the Rossi family.
It would seem the magic used to defeat Volpena and her family was more powerful than the spirit Marion Hood/Peace Keeper had imagined. Instead of taking two years to wipe out all memories and connections with the Foxes Teeth Guild, it had taken only four months.
They were no longer a major crime family, but ruthless business people. Which wasn't much better in most people's minds. Still, it was nice to know he would not be part of any more hunts.
According to Nathalie's research, Lila Rossi was still a prolific liar with some dangerous behavioral problems but otherwise was more manageable. According to the school's attendance sheets, she was at home sick aka skipping school.
"She's still very angry with the Miraculous Duo. While she doesn't remember the exact reason for her akumanzation, she does know her anger was directed at the heroes," Nathalie explained.
Adjusting her glasses she looked him into his own glass covered eyes. "Are you absolutely sure you want to involve her? I know her powers are vital, but after last time…"
Gabriel placed both hands on her shoulders and squeezed them tightly. "I'm only going to use her for a short time, just enough to make the entire city scared and angry enough, to be vulnerable for my akumas. Once she's played her part, I will ensure her akuma is returned."
A few minutes later, they were both in the lair as the window opened. Focusing his mind, Gabriel called out his transformation phrase, "Nooroo Darkwings Rise!" Seconds later Hawkmoth appeared.
He felt Nooroo conscious taking a backseat. He was glad, he didn't need Nooroo's thoughts interfering with his plans. "The time has come to end this battle. I sense an angry teenager's mind. One whose desires to be the center of attention on this day."
A butterfly landed in his palm. He filled it with negativity and sent it off towards Lila's home.
Lila was sulking in her room, watching the live broadcast of the parades being held to honor the Heroes of Paris, on her laptop. An angry growl passed her lips as she saw balloons for the temporary heroes who showed up in the last few months.
"Rene Rogue, Carapace, Honey Bee! They are honored as heroes? Please, they are so pathetic and Rene Rogue is a doleful, scrawny, dreadful copy of Volpena! People should be worshiping me not them!"
There was a loud knock on the door before it was pulled open. Olivia Rossi stood in the doorway, arms crossed, with a furious expression on her face. "LILA ITALA ARMIDA ROSSI! How dare you lie to me and skip school just to stay home and wallow in your anger? I expected you to be better than this young lady."
Lila angrily responded, "You use to encourage lying when it came to handling people before, so why are you so livid about it now?"
Oliva Rossi stormed over to her daughter, took her by her right wrist and hauled her upright. "I taught you only to stretch the truth when it came to business practices to help you gain what you want, as long as you could back it up on a later date," she said as brandished Lila with her free hand. "I never told you to lie to your father or me. I know for certain I didn't tell you to lie about school."
Lila opened her mouth to protest only to think better of it with the look she was getting from her mom. Instead, she jerked her wrist free and looked at the floor. Her entire body was seething in rage.
"I can't stand to go to school today! Everyone at school will be talking about all their good deeds and why the so-called Heroes of Paris inspire them. I wanted to throw up yesterday when I heard my classmates Marc and Kagami talking." She rolled her eyes and made air quotes as she mocked her two classmates for wanting to help little kids improve their reading and athletic skills.
Olivia was not impressed with her daughter's behavior. "That's your excuse for skipping school? Why not just come up with a deed greater than anyone at the school and you would be the best civilian hero today?" her mother pointed out evenly.
"I need to be absolute best hero in the city! It's what I deserve!"
Oliva shushed her daughter and narrowed her lips. "You are not getting your way this time Lila. You always want to be the center of attention and aim for more than you can get. Ambition is fine, but overconfidence will always ensure you fail."
She then informed her daughter that if she didn't attend her afternoon classes, not only would she be grounded, but she would spend the next two weeks doing all the chores for the entire household.
Watching her mom leave, Lila slammed her feet on the floor and clenched her palms together. She knocked off her fox tail necklace, the one from the family heirloom jewelry room, from her desk. It clinked softly as it hit the floor.
Lila snatched it up and held it in her hands. "If only you really did have magic powers. I would show everyone I'm the best!"
An akuma appeared in the room and darted for the necklace. Lila stilled as she listened to a familiar voice.
"Hello, Volpena. Your anger has grown since the last time we talked. The Miraculous Heroes are nothing compared to you. Do you want to bring sorrow and misery to the people of Paris?"
"It's time for all of Paris to see how pathetic these heroes are."
"Then go use your illusions to carry out your mission for me."
Hawkmoth waited anxiously for Volpena to complete her mission. Nathalie turned on her tablet to watch the parade. About a minute later, an illusion of an akumatized Ladybug fighting Chat Noir for his Miraculous, appeared on the balloons. The fight went on for a few minutes before the fake Ladybug killed her partner with his own power, before taking his ring and swinging away.
"A bit too dramatic in my opinion, but she got the job done. Was there any trouble retrieving the akuma?"
Hawkmoth shook his head as the akuma returned to the lair and became white again. "I had Lila return home to await further instructions. Hopefully, I won't need her again."
Summoning a new akuma he turned to his assistant. "Are you ready Nathalie?"
She nodded and let the akuma infected her tablet. She heard her boss telling her she would be the ultimate assistant by boosting his power as Catalyst. The purple smoke covered her body and she transformed.
Catalyst had periwinkle skin. On her head she wore a black helmet with a red visor with black edges and a red spike pointing towards the back of her head, leaving her mouth exposed.
She also wore a black dress suit with stiff shoulders, including a dark red front and swan neck collar that features a red downward-arrow-shaped section in the center.
The sleeves covered her entire arms, with the tips of her fingers fading into red. Also, she had pocket-like ridges on each side of her hips, and her pant legs come down to her feet, having red high-heels, soles, and tips.
"Hawkmoth, I am here to increase your power by a hundred percent." Catalyst pressed her hands on his chest. "You are no longer Hawkmoth, but Scarlet Hawkmoth!"
The colors of Hawkmoth's costume turned from purple to scarlet, with a tinge of neon purple. His pommel glowed red and suddenly the whole flitter was transformed into scarlet akumas.
"Yes, I can feel my power increasing!" Hawkmoth exclaimed. "Go and create my Akuma army! Carry out your assignments and then meet me at the Eiffel Tower!"
As the supercharged evil butterflies flew out the window, he gave Catalyst a reassuring nod. "Stay safe Catalyst. No matter what happens, you will not risk your safety for mine. Do you understand?"
"Understood Hawkmoth." She watched as some of the supercharged akumas picked him up and carried him out the window to the Eiffel Tower, leaving her alone in the mansion.
At Collège Françoise Dupont, the students were about to leave for lunch when their phones all pinged, alerting them to an emergency news broadcast about Ladybug and Chat Noir.
Puzzled, Adrien pulled up the live broadcast and held it so both he and Marinette could see what was being broadcasted.
"This is Nadja Chamack reporting to you live from the Heroes Day Outdoor Music Festival stage. Earlier today an akumatized Ladybug killed her own partner Chat Noir claiming his Miraculous for herself and Hawkmoth."
Marinette gasped in shock and Adrien's eyes widened as they viewed a video filmed earlier at the parade. They knew it was fake, but it was still unbelievably convincing.
"How?" Adrien whispered.
"Volpena! I can't believe it. He akumatized her again after what happened last time?" Marinette responded softly.
The broadcast switched back to Nadja, who was joined by Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale. "Jagged, Clara, what are your thoughts about this situation?"
Jagged was crying and strummed his guitar sadly. "How can we have Heroes Day without our heroes? Paris has lost its rock and roll!"
"There is no reason to dance and sing! The concert should be canceled!" Clara moaned.
"There you have it, folks. Heroes Day has turned into…what in the world is that?!"
The camera jerked to the right as a flitter of red akumas descended from the sky. The camera captured the sight of Nadja, Jagged, and Clara along with Penny, who was coming to Jagged's rescue, all turn back into Prime Queen, Guitar Villain, Frightingale, and lastly Troublemaker. The only difference then before was they were all scarlet red.
Prime Queen cackled in delight. "Prime Queen here with a news breaking story. Scarlet Hawkmoth is taking over the city! Prepare to serve him!"
In the background, you could see the other three already causing chaos to civilians. The camera fell to the ground as the cameraman ran for his life.
The students at the school were stunned. How could this be happening?!
"Look up there!" Alya shouted. The swarming scarlet akumas descended into the courtyard. People ran or tried to get away, but within minutes several students and a few staff members were once again akumatized.
Seeing the akumas approaching their temporary allies, Marinette sprang into action. "Everyone calm down! The akumas are attracted to your fear. Taking a few deep breaths and think calming thoughts."
Juleka was the first one to respond to Marinette's advice. Taking a few deep breaths, she thought about what she liked. Playing guitar, doing people's makeup, her best friend Rose. Opening her eyes, she saw a scarlet akuma stopping and then it flew off elsewhere. Seeing this success others followed her lead. Slowly the swarm left as Adrien led the students to the front door to safety.
As people exited the building they could hear a loud pitter patter coming their way. The ground shook and window glass cracked. Marinette was frozen in disbelief as she stared at the giant Rollopolo. The hamster's eyes locked on to her and before she could move grabbed her and stuffed the girl in his cheek pouch.
"MARINETTE!" Adrien screamed. He ran at the hamster, ready to punch it in a naïve attempt to free her only to go super slow when an elongated handkerchief touched him and he heard a voice say "No running!"
Mr. Etiquette was riding on the giant hamster, his stance was playful. He waggled a finger at the model. "Now, now, it's very rude to be running ahead of your escort."
"Escort?" Adrien managed to get out of his slow-moving mouth.
The Akuma nodded and bowed. "Master Hawkmoth can't have you two running around where you might get hurt." Snapping his fingers, Rollopolo snatched up Adrien, stuffing him his other cheek pouch.
The mega size hamster jumped across the street landing in front of the bakery. Inside, Tom and Sabine held each other as the creature spit the two teenagers out. Both moaned and tried to wipe the saliva off them.
Mr. Etiquette laughed joyfully. "You two stay safe inside and don't try to run off. My friend and I will be keeping watch on the bakery, so you two don't slip away in an effort to save your friends."
With a flick of the handkerchief, the bakery door locked and the security system trapped them inside, except for the door that led to the residential quarters.
Sabine went over to her daughter as Tom checked on Adrien. "Are you okay?" she asked Marinette as she helped her stand up. Her nose wrinkled a little at the smell coming off her child.
"I'm fine, just feeling really sordid."
Adrien nodded as well. "I can't believe we got eaten by a giant hamster. Nor do I get why we're in lockdown while the rest of the city is being terrorized."
Tom told them it didn't matter. The important thing was they were safe. He urged the teens to get cleaned up right away. He and Sabine would be in the living room watching the news.
After cleaning up, the two of them went up to Marinette's room to strategize. Marinette sat at her desk and Adrien on the chaise as their Kwamiis came out. The question in everyone's mind was how they would get out unnoticed, or having Marinette's parents finding out they were superheroes?
Outside the building, crouched on the school roof, Peace Keeper touched her mask, activating its magic vision filter. She saw the monstrous hamster and the good mannered boy Akumas, then she also spotted Vanisher.
The invisible girl was standing on the front steps waiting for instructions. Vanisher would make an excellent scout if she tracked one of the heroes to the Great Guardian. Then Hawkmoth would be able to steal the other Miraculouses and use them for evil.
"Need to take her out of the game first." Activating her jetpack, which thanks to magic, was super quiet, and she flew down into the courtyard. Through the open doors, she saw Rollopolo sniffing the air, searching for her.
Rolling to the right staircase, Peace Keeper reached into her belt pocket and pulled out a small vial, which had a strange blue mist in it. Putting on a nose clip, she opened the vial and moved the scent towards the doors.
Vanisher, who was scanning the sky, suddenly smelled something damp and sweet with her nose. Without realizing it, she walked back into the school and towards the right staircase. A few seconds later she felt something grip her shoulder and she slumped down unconscious.
After dragging the girl into the locker room, the young woman used permanent markers to outline her and stuffed her into a locker, so if she did wake up, she still could be seen.
Distracting Rollopolo and Mr. Etiquette turned out to be easy. She threw stones one direction. Sensing a trap, the pair went in the opposite way where the sound was coming from.
Smirking, Peace Keeper flew from the direction the sound had actually come by and landed on the balcony. Using her enhanced muscles, she tore the security door off the trapdoor and dropped into Marinette's bedroom, surprising the teens.
Rolling her eyes, Peace Keeper said, "We can't do this mission without you two. Fu and I figured that Hawkmoth might try to contain you somehow, so once I alerted him of the attack, I came straight here."
"Thank goodness, what's the situation out there?" Tikki asked anxiously.
"Not right now Tikki. You two need to transform and find the temporary wielders, so they can use their Miraculouses to help you." She held out three boxes.
Adrien took the one for Nino and Marinette grabbed the girls. Peace Keeper showed them where to meet her once the team was assembled. The teens quickly transformed and headed out, just a minute before their "guards" came back.
Chat Noir found Nino first. The boy had made it a few blocks from the school. He was being backed into a corner in a small grocery store by a small group of akumas, ready to infect him.
Thinking quickly, the hero snatched up a plastic bag, put it on his baton, before using his makeshift net to catch all the akumas in. Then he spun around and deposited them into a small freezer unit and shut the door.
"The cold will slow them down a bit, but eventually they'll get free." Nino rushed over and hugged the hero.
"DUDE! I knew you couldn't be dead! No way would you ever let Ladybug get akumatized!"
"Yeah, I'm amazing like that." He broke the embrace and held out the box. "Hawkmoth's created an army of Akumas out there. Ladybug and I need your help. Can I count on you, Nino?"
"You didn't even have to ask." Two minutes later Chat Noir and Carapace headed to the rendezvous coordinates double time.
Ladybug counted her blessings when she saw both Alya and Rose together. The girls had been with Juleka trying to get to safety, but in the chaos, Juleka had been separated from them.
She landed in front of the girls and whipped her yo-yo around. "Stay behind me! I need to deal with a few of these akumas first!" Lightning fast she caught all the charged up akumas and released them.
"Ladybug! I'm so glad to see you! The whole city needs to know you're alive," Alya said as she reached for her phone only for the heroine to stop her.
"I don't have time for an interview or to meet with your both separately. Rene Rouge, Honey Bee, your assistance is needed now."
"You're Rene Rouge/Honey Bee!" the girls exclaimed to each other. Laughing, they quickly reunited with their Kwamiis and transformed.
Five minutes later they arrived at the top of the La Trocadero roof. Waiting for them there was Peace Keeper, whose eyes were locked on the Eiffel Tower. "The situation is worse than we imagined. Hawkmoth has the Akumas spread throughout the city, pushing the crowds back while endangering them," she stated over her shoulder.
She turned around and faced the group. "Hawkmoth or Scarlet Hawkmoth as he's calling himself now, appeared on the tower three minutes ago. He's declared his intentions. Unless the Miraculouses are brought to him in next ten minutes, he will hold the entire city hostage by turning them into Akumas."
Ladybug started to respond only for Rene Rouge to blurt out, "I knew it! I knew you were real! I need to find a phone and…"
"Ms. Cesaire now is not the time for distractions! Did my warning about losing focus mean nothing to you?" Peace Keeper spoke sharply at the fox wielder.
Rene Rouge was taken aback at the use of her real name. This woman had been forcefully bonded with Trixx? It was her voice that had told her to focus on the mission.
She was shocked when Peace Keeper addressed Nino and Rose by their last names to get their attention. It was a jolt to their systems to know someone other than the two heroes knew their identities. The three temporary heroes looked over to Ladybug and Chat Noir wondering what they were supposed to do. The duo kept their gaze firmly on Peace Keeper.
"Now that I have your attention, I will explain the mission and what you need to know. My name is Peace Keeper. My connection with the Miraculouses as well as my existence is classified, therefore I have taken precautions in order to help you fight this battle, that is, if you still want to."
The temporary heroes looked confused so Ladybug and Chat Noir stood on either side of the secret UN agent.
Ladybug stood straight, hands clasped together and started speaking. "Today is Heroes Day, but being a hero is more than just saving the city." She spread her arms wide declaring how all of Paris was one big family and how the citizens trusted them to keep them safe. No fight is a guaranteed a victory. Hopefully, we'll succeed this time. If we don't, Paris loses more than its heroes, but its freedom as well. Earlier, you believed you lost your heroes. This time it could really happen."
Chat Noir spoke up as he entered the conversation. He talked about how they all needed to stand tall and not back down no matter how hopeless things looked. "Being a hero is putting the needs of others before yourself, even if you might lose your life or get seriously injured. This isn't a game so we need to know you're committed to this."
The other three looked at each other before nodding their heads and grabbing their weapons. Ladybug and Chat Noir looked at Peace Keeper, whose Kwami Charm necklace twinkled in the sunlight.
It was time to counterattack!
The adult quickly brought everyone up to speed. How Hawkmoth had akumatized a trusted friend and this person was responsible for the power up. "This person is probably hidden in Hawkmoth's lair, to prevent us from cleansing their akuma. In this regard, we must destroy the object that has been enhanced in order for Hawkmoth's powers to return to normal."
They nodded in understanding. With Hawkmoth's powers restored to normal, he could only keep one person akumatized. Without his ally close by, he wouldn't be able to power up.
"Then our objective is to take down Hawkmoth and relieve him of his Miraculous," Ladybug stated.
"He won't make it easy. There's a reason he's stationed his Akuma army all over the city," Chat Noir added.
"Innocent people could get hurt. We have to protect them," Honey Bee insisted.
"How do we do that? Without Ladybug, we can't cleanse the citizens of their akumas. What's to stop Hawkmoth from akumatizing them again?" Rene Rogue asked.
"We'll just have to do our best to contain the akumas until ladybug can cleanse them," Carapace told her grimly.
Ladybug took charge, telling the three temporary heroes to spread throughout the city and do their best to keep the citizens safe. As soon as they defeated the other Akumas, they would join her, Chat Noir, and Peace Keeper in capturing Hawkmoth.
The group split up as they carried out their objectives. The original trio jumped off the roof and landed at one end of the bridge that connected to the Eiffel Tower. Each stood tall and proud. Secretly, Peace Keeper activated a new tech device, which mimicked the chromospheres of octopus, rendering her virtually impossible to detect by the digital eye.
"Hawkmoth, your days of terror are over! Hand over your Miraculous now!" Ladybug shouted.
"I don't think so Ladybug. You're outnumbered and even if your friends rejoin you they won't be able to stop my entire army. It will be you giving me your Miraculous!"
"Enough chitchat, let's do this already!" Chat Noir called out.
"Indeed."
The first wave of Akumas rushed towards them and they responded in kind. From a distance, Stormy Weather shot lightning out of her umbrella. Pharaoh called upon Horus to gain wings, and Mime mimed having a sword.
The trio jumped to avoid the lightning. Peace Keeper activated her jetpack and soared into the air after Stormy Weather, while Chat Noir went after Mime leaving Ladybug to handle Pharaoh.
Stormy Weather dodged Peace Keeper and swept her umbrella in a wide arc, sending deadly hail at her foe. "I'm going to knock you out of the sky!"
Peace Keeper banked to the left and dove under the attack. She dove underneath the Akuma and fired her grabbling line. It wrapped around the umbrella and she tore it away. "Without your umbrella you are helpless. Surrender."
Stormy Weather laughed and held out her hand. Peace Keeper, felt the umbrella vibrate in her hand trying to break free. She held on tighter but the umbrella shook even more. It popped open forcing the young woman to drop it.
Instead of falling to the ground, it zipped right back into Stormy Weather's hand like a magnet. "Scarlet Hawkmoth was kind enough to upgrade me. Let's see how you handle this storm!" as she twirled it around building up a powerful windstorm.
On the ground, Ladybug and Chat Noir were discovering their old enemies, had been given an upgrade. Pharaoh could now call upon the powers of Set, unleashing red sandstorms and added by Timebreaker, who was stealing energy from the plants around the bridge.
Ladybug blocked the sandstorm with her yo-yo. Hearing the sound of rollerblades, she dove to the right and pushed off the ground with her hands and flipped over Timebreaker, snagging her skate and pulling it off.
Landing, she broke the roller blade releasing the akuma and quickly cleansed it. This resulted in Alix slamming into Pharaoh's chest, destroying his amulet, making him revert into Jahlil, Alix's older brother.
Ladybug barely had time to enjoy her victory, when she was cornered by Mr. Pigeon and Simon Says. It was going to be a long fight.
Chat Noir was having his own difficulties. Mime could now do two mimes at once, creating a sword and shield for himself. Riposte foil had changed into an epee and now could now do harder thrusts, which were meant to draw blood.
"You're no match for an elite fencer like myself!" Riposte exclaimed as she thrust her epee towards his abdomen. He blocked with his staff trying to push her off when Mime added pressure with his sword.
Chat Noir was buckling under the pressure of the weight. Digging deep he pushed them back and smashed his staff against Riposte sword hand, breaking the blade in half and freeing her.
The Mime mimed a fishing pool and hooked Chat's staff to pull it away, only for the black cat to yank him closer so he could tear the hat off his head. Mr. Haprele returned to normal as he stumbled to the ground.
"I hope the others are having better luck than we are," Chat Noir muttered under his breath.
Rene Rouge was protecting a group of civilians near the zoo from Evilstrator and Rogercop.
"By orders of Scarlet Hawkmoth, you are hereby detained," Rogercop said as he shot multiple pairs of handcuffs at her.
Rene Rouge knocked them away with her flute and then kicked a pair that had been heading for her ankles away. "Better luck next time."
"I don't need any luck to snare you!" Evilstrator called out. He drew on his arm tablet a snare attached to the fox heroine's right leg and it became reality.
"Ugh!" Rene Rogue was stuck and looking behind her, she saw so many frightened families with small children. I can't let them down she thought.
Bringing the flue up to her lips she played a tune, creating an illusion of a skulk of foxes surrounding her. They growled and jumped at the two Akumas, who instinctively flinched, giving herself time to use her flute as leverage to get out of the snare.
She swiftly attacked the two Akumas in a flurry of punches and kicks, managing to destroy their possessed objects. Turning to the civilians she asked for their help. "I need to go help others. Can all of you keep an eye on these two so they don't get akumatized again?"
"You can count on us Rene Rogue. It's Heroes Day for everyone!" a person from the crowd yelled at her. Nodding, the superheroine took off, not noticing she was being stalked from the air.
Across the city, Carapace was doing battle against the Magician of Malice and Pixilator. He attacked both of them at the same time with his meteor hammer. One end hit Pixilator in the stomach and the other managed to bruise Magician's knee.
"Come on dudes, snap out of it! You know you don't want to do this!"
"No hero is going to stop us from carrying out Master Scarlet Hawkmoth's wishes!" Magician declared. He waved his wand and made all the cars disappear revealing the cowering civilians.
"I'll just add them to Scarlet Hawkmoth collection of future Akumas." Pixilator lined up his vision with a group of elderly ladies.
Sliding on his shell, Carapace bashed into Pixilator, making him snap a photo of two lampposts, which disappeared into the digital world. Carapace sprang to his feet and jumped on the Akuma trying to break the camera on his face.
"I could use a little help here!" the villain called out to his partner. Magician aimed his wand at the turtle hero, only to slip in a pile of garbage that had been knocked over earlier in the fight.
Carapace grinned as he pulled off the camera and destroyed it. Vincent Aza returned to normal, giving the teen hope he could actually do this. He didn't know how quickly the situation could change.
With Honey Bee, she was having her own problems. She had been surrounded by the entire Bourgeois family. Antibug, Emperor, and Style Queen leered at her.
"Nowhere to run you little pest! I'm going to turn you into an accessory!" Style Queen declared as she fired a blast of glitter at her.
Honey Bee deflected it with her trompo, which was then taken by Antibug's bladed yo-yo. "If I can't destroy Ladybug, I'll take you in her place!"
The two teens engaged in a fist fight, which turned into a brawl when Emperor joined in with a few soldiers. Style Queen kept firing her staff, glittering anyone it touched.
Honey Bee tossed Antibug over her shoulders and then did a spin kick sweeping Emperor to his feet. Her wings buzzed quickly sending the glitter back at Style Queen causing her to chock.
Snatching up her trompo, she tied up the whole family. "Please don't struggle. I'm trying to help you."
"We don't want your help!" Antibug snarled.
"Scarlet Hawkmoth will deal with you personally," Style Queen shrieked.
"In fact, you're about to join us, Killer Bee," Emperor chuckled as Dark Cupid struck the heroine in the back with his hate arrows.
Honey Bee's lips darkened as she called out for an akuma to grant her new powers. One came and possessed her Miraculous turning her into Killer Bee. She was then joined by Rene Rage and Shell Shocker.
Releasing the Bourgeois family, the new Akumas followed their orders. Take down Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Peace Keeper for good.
Back at the central fight, it wasn't looking good for the heroes or the Great Guardian's Apprentice. Every time they freed one Akuma, Scarlet Hawkmoth transformed them again.
Peace Keeper called upon both Trixx's and Pollen's gift at the same time. "Spirit Guides Swarm!" Two tiny fox cubs popped into existence with eight bees floating over them.
Spotting Animan, the two creatures went after him. Spinning around she noticed Ladybug in trouble as Copycat lunged at her with his Cataclysm. Dropping in front of Ladybug, she called on Wayzz's power, hoping a tenth of his power, would be enough to stop the attack.
"Shell Guard!" The green turtle-like shell covered the two of them. The magic forced Copycat backward, his Cataclysm struck part of the street, causing a small opening to form to the sewers below.
"Thanks, Peace Keeper."
"Don't thank me yet Ladybug. Scarlet Hawkmoth's second wave of attack has arrived!" The woman pointed over the bluenette's shoulder. Indeed, half of the Akumas were no longer attacking the city. Instead, they were being led by the akumatized heroes.
"Meow. I think our luck just ran out!" Chat Noir yelled as he finished dealing with Dark Owl by sticking him up in a tree. He was panting hard, clearly exhausted. Ladybug wasn't much better as she struggled to stay upright.
Peace Keeper assessed the situation and instantly knew what needed to be done. "You two go! Recharge and come up with a strategy to get close to Hawkmoth."
"What about you Peace Keeper? You can't take on this whole army by yourself!"
"I won't be alone," she replied as she touched the charm necklace. All the charms twinkled as seven different retrocognition visions entered her mind. Each Kwami showing a piece of their past to assist in her one woman stand.
Pulling out her own weapon she again urged the two to retreat once more. This time they listened as they dropped through the crack created by Copycat.
Scarlet Hawkmoth gripped his cane even harder. "The first wave get into the sewers and flush them out! I want those Miraculouses now!" The Akumas, who had just been attacking all nodded. They jumped single file into the crevice just as the second wave arrived.
Peace Keeper found herself surrounded and felt Nooroo's charm activate, creating a connection between her and Scarlet Hawkmoth. Of course, the meeting of the minds took place in his mindscape.
The Butterfly Wielder tapped his cane on the floor. Out of the tip, scarlet paint covered the whole area, except for a small circle where Peace Keeper stood. The man predatory eyes gazed at Peace Keeper's Kwami Charm necklace.
"So we meet again Peace Keeper. This time, I have the advantage over you," he cackled in delight. "I know you're a smart lady. The odds are against you and Ladybug and Chat Noir will not be able to stop my army."
Leaning forward on his cane, the man continued to speak, occasionally tapping the cane on the floor. "Surrender yourself and the Kwami Charm necklace. I promise I won't let my Akumas rough you up to much."
Peace Keeper scoffed and rolled her eyes. She pointed at him with her right hand and made a sweeping gesture with her other arm. "You believe that you've already won because you manipulated me into your mindscape? Then you're a bigger fool then I believed you to be."
The villain shrugged his shoulders and pointed the pommel at her. "Since this is my mindscape, I'll just akumatized you here, then you'll have to give me your charm necklace."
Peace Keeper shook her head. "Never use force when there is a more peaceful solution to the problem." A purple outline formed around her body and she started down the man. "You're not the only one who has new powers."
Thrusting her hands forward, a bright purple wave of emotion crashed into Scarlet Hawkmoth. He screamed as the telepathic connection was forcefully terminated.
In the real world, the man felt the worse headache in the world. An invisible punch struck him in the gut as something sharp tore into his back. He fell to his knees gasping.
"Scarlet Hawkmoth! What's going on? I can feel that you're hurt! How?" Catalyst demanded in a slightly worried tone. Her master's plans didn't include him getting hurt by a telepathic link.
"I'm fine! Just focus on the mission at hand!" Forcing himself to stand, he ordered Prime Queen to move her camera drones closer to the action so he could see what was going on.
His Akuma did as he asked. On the video, he could see Peace Keeper in a three-way fight with the akumatized heroes. Like a slow-motion ballet, she dodged Rene Rage's punch before sliding under Shell Shocker's legs. She jumped on top of him and pushed off, snagging Killer Bee and rolled in the air so when they hit the ground Killer Bee's wings were damaged.
Mother May I, Sandboy, and Zombizou rushed forward to help their comrades, each preparing their attack. Before they got close enough to launch them, Peace Keeper's throat glowed blue. "Raging Call!"
The second wave of Akumas all clutched their ears all looking a little disoriented and some of them sick. The sonic cry was so loud it busted the street lamps for several blocks.
Peace Keeper wobbled on her feet. Even though she had only use a tenth of Duusu's power, her throat felt raw. "I'm not going to use that particular power again for a while."
Scarlet Hawkmoth jaw dropped and he rubbed his eyes to make sure nothing was in them. How in the world had Peace Keeper accessed Duusu's power? Peace Keeper couldn't have met Duusu and bonded with her. It was impossible!
In his lair, Catalyst was also shocked. She had been right about something being off with the cameras that day, but it didn't make any sense. A human had to awaken a kwami, they couldn't do it themselves! It was a mystery which would have to wait.
Keep your focus on the plan Scarlet Hawkmoth! Once you have the Miraculouses nothing else will matter."
She's right I need to stay focused Scarlet Hawkmoth thought to himself. Emilie is waiting for you at home. All you have to do is secure the Miraculouses and bring Adrien back to the mansion.
He felt a tap on the shoulder and growled. "What is it Prime Queen?"
"Sir, the citizens of Paris are banding together and fighting back. They heard Ladybug and Chat Noir are not dead. What should we do?"
Swiftly, he took control of the situation. His gigantic sized Akumas were sent to quash the Paris Resistance. Next, he ordered Frozer to start freezing the river and the surrounding area because his first wave still hadn't captured the duo. Lastly, he ordered the second wave to continue their attack on Peace Keeper.
About half a mile away from where her houseboat usually docked, Juleka was combatting Captain Hardrock aka her mother. Luka was nowhere in sight as the Goth girl fought the Akuma on the street. If Hardrock made it to the Liberty there was no way Juleka could stop her.
"You scurvy landlubber, I'm going to rock your world so hard, you'll be deaf!" Captain Hardrock, informed the girl as she slashed with her cutlass/microphone.
Juleka blocked the attack by sacrificing her guitar. She had been extremely lucky her mom had been away from the boat handing out the treats, so she could slip on board to grab it before Hardrock returned.
"Sorry, today's not a musical festival. It's Heroes Day!" Juleka spoke in a loud and clear voice. Taking a risk, she dove to the right to grab the akumatized object, only at the last second, twisted to the left.
Captain Hardrock's weapon missed Juleka by inches, who got around to the Akuma's backside and shoved her to the ground. The teenager quickly grabbed the akumatized object before it could roll away and broke it.
The akuma inside flew away in the direction of the Eiffel Tower. If Juleka squinted she could see a red and black blur making their way towards the tower. Resting her left hand on her chest, she let out a deep breath, she didn't know she had been holding.
"Ladybug and Chat Noir will take care of this. This nightmare will be over with soon."
"It might not be over yet," a voice said behind her. The teen spun around and saw an old man dressed in old fashioned Chinese clothing, along with a large hat and a green handkerchief covering the lower portion of his face.
The man knelt down and check Ankara's neck for a pulse. Finding one, he straightened up, wincing slightly due to the pain in his back. "Your mother will be fine. She's just unconscious due to hitting the ground so hard."
"Who are you and how you do know that's my mom?" Juleka asked softly. Her eyes went from the man to her mom and back again. Could she take the man down if he tried to hurt her? Probably, but something told her this man was stronger than he looked.
The man's eyes formed a smile and he spoke kindly to her. "I've heard a lot about you Ms. Juleka Couffaine. Two of my closest friends have been watching you and have decided you are worthy for something special."
"Worthy of what?" the teen was frightened. The man had just confessed his friends had been stalking her and now he had approached her? What if this something special was bad?
"Please don't be frightened. I promise no one is going to hurt you," a small cheery voice chirped. Out of the man's pocket came a tiny creature who looked similar to a toy magpie. The creature hovered in front of her and bowed. "My name is Honorra, the Kwami of Honor. You got my attention with your honorable acts Juleka."
The Kwami paused as she looked in the distance towards the Eiffel Tower and shuddered slightly. "The Miraculous heroes are strong, but Hawkmoth has shown he has no honor. I have no doubt he has a trap set to deal with the heroes should the directly confront him."
Locking eyes with Juleka's one exposed eye, the kwami added, "I need your help to keep Hawkmoth from trapping the others. Without our assistance, he could win. Will you wield my Miraculous?"
The man held out a tiny black and red box. He just stood there waiting patiently to see if the teenager would take it.
This can't be happening! I must be dreaming because there's no way anyone would choose me to be a hero. I'm not special enough to work alongside Ladybug and Chat Noir.
"I think you're mistaken Honorra. I don't believe I'm good enough to be a heroine."
The old man looked at the downcast Kwami before communicating directly with the timid child. "Heed me, child. You are letting the doubts of others keep you from exploring new paths to help you grow. The Kwami of Honor herself has chosen you out of everyone in the world to wield her power because she believes in you. Believe me, Honorra didn't make this choice lightly. You're the one person she trusts most in the world. Will you let her down?"
Juleka raised her right hand up and checked her reflection in the hand mirror on her glove. She looked the same on the outside, but inside she felt a strong craving to become more than she had ever been. "I'll do it," she said in a resolute voice.
Taking the box, she opened it and watched as the headband inside grew until it was normal size again. She brushed the hair away from her eye and put the accessory on. "What do I need to know?" she asked as the man pocketed the box.
"You're power is Bestowment. You can gift someone with incredible power for a short amount of time. Once you use it, you only have five minutes before you return to normal. Your weapon is a saber and don't worry, the skill to use it will come to you naturally. Oh, and I hope you like flying because that's how we kkachi travel."
Juleka raised an eyebrow and the kwami told her kkachi was the Korean word for magpie. Juleka tested out the word and she liked it. "How do I transform?"
"Say, Collecting Items." Honorra tensed knowing she was risking a lot including the possibility she would never be able to interact physically with the world again. Yet it was honorable to give your life for a cause.
"Also, don't forget to return your Miraculous to Ladybug or Chat Noir once the mission has been completed," the old man added. He bowed to her and then walked away leaving the new pair alone.
"I won't. Honorra, Collecting Items!" There was a rush of energy as the magpie kwami flew into her Miraculous and activated the headband.
Juleka's transformation started in her hands. Short black gloves with feathers on the rims appeared on her hands and the long sleeves turned a navy blue. Black boots with navy trim and sharp blue line, down part of the shoe, appeared on her feet.
A white bodysuit with smaller split collar appeared on her body with the sides black appeared on her body. A navy belt with a black buckle around the waist appeared with a saber attached to it. A short, rounded, navy blue cape with a black trim appeared with black attachments secure it to her upper arms appeared.
Her long hair lost the purple coloring as it piled on top of her head in an elegant bun, with her bangs framing her face, and not covering one eye. Dark purple lipstick covered her lips as a black mask appeared over her eyes.
She crossed her left foot in front of her right and inclined a bit forward, with her arms spread wide as her finishing pose. She was no longer Juleka, but Kkachi!
Running down the sidewalk, she jumped into the air. The wind blew through her cape stretching it into a wingsuit, allowing her to fly/glide through the air safely as she gained altitude
"This is the scariest and coolest thing to ever happen to me!" Kkachi said to herself quietly. She had never done BASE jumping at all, let alone with a wingsuit before, it was a bit too extreme for her tastes.
She was surprised how quickly she figure out the mechanics to her magical wingsuit. It felt like there was a voice in the back of her mind, telling her body how to use the wingsuit. She had covered quite a distance when she spotted a small platform on a nearby building she could land on to catch her breath.
Landing, Kkachi let out a snort. "I can't believe I just did that! I wish Rose had seen me like this." Something sparkling caught her attention. Like a true magpie, she zeroed her attention on it. Her eyesight was super sharp and could see long distances.
Ladybug had just released a whole flutter of white butterflies into the air. Scarlet Hawkmoth was blaring to the sky as the three temporary heroes joined the duo. She also spotted a moving shimmer which had also joined the group. Another new hero perhaps?
"They don't look like they need my help," Kkachi mused only to spot a concealed danger. Hiding behind one leg of the tower was a female in a dark orange hoodie. She recognized the person. It was Lila!
The girl wasn't akumatized, but she was holding something in her hand and had a deadly mien on her face. Kkachi eyes zoomed in on it. It was a sharp dagger of some kind. From the way she was holding it, Lila certainly knew how to use it meritoriously.
Only she's not looking at Scarlet Hawkmoth, she's staring at the heroes, especially Ladybug. Why would she want to hurt her someone she's best friends with? Unless it was a lie?
There was no time to think. Lila was inching closer as the heroes moved closer to the tower so they could jump up and battle Scarlet Hawkmoth. She had to do something before Lila attacked Ladybug, who was oblivious to her presence.
"Time for Paris to meet its newest heroine," Kkachi whispered. She jumped off the platform and felt herself zooming through the sky as she dove for Lila, who was ready to pounce.
Lila was smirking in delight as she saw Ladybug getting ready to jump up towards the platform to save the day. Only she wouldn't and Lila would! She started to lunge when she heard a piercing shriek
She had only twisted her head slightly when she was kicked hard in the back. Lila fell to the ground and rolled a few feet away, startling the heroes, who were shocked to see her.
Growling, the bitter teen snatched up her dagger and sprang towards Ladybug, who froze, when a bluish-black blur landed in front of the heroine. The sound of blades clashing against each other startled both Lila and Ladybug.
Ladybug gasped as she saw the magpie themed girl using a gleaming saber to keep Lila's dagger from reaching her. The blade was navy blue and attached to a white and black handle. "Go stop Hawkmoth! I'll handle her," the new heroine shouted over her shoulder.
"Be careful!" Ladybug called out before jumping up.
"Join us if you can," Chat Noir added with some cheek.
Kkachi didn't acknowledge them, her focus entirely on keeping the dagger from cutting her. She slashed her weapon wide, earning some space from Lila, who was more agile and would be able to stab her if she got to close.
"Stop this! Ladybug isn't the enemy! We need her to help defeat Scarlet Hawkmoth and save Paris" Lila got in close and nearly stabbed her if Kkachi didn't have enhanced flexibility to maneuver out of the way.
Those words increased Lila's rage as she fought harder. "Ladybug this, Ladybug that. I am so sick of hearing about Ladybug! I wish she was dead! I would make a much better heroine than her." The two blades clashed with each other over and over.
Lila took a few stabs at Kkachi. If she wasn't wearing a magical suit right then she would have been bleeding out horribly. "I will have her Miraculous or someone else's for myself!"
"You aren't honorable enough for one," Kkachi told the crazed teen as she struck the flat side of her sabre against Lila's head as hard as she could. She fell to the ground like a pile of bricks.
Kkachi kicked the dagger away. Whatever was going on with Lila would have to wait for now. She needed to go see if the other Miraculous Heroes need her help. Jumping in the air, she let her wingsuit take her to the battle.
What a battle it was. Scarlet Hawkmoth was a master at Canne de combat. He used a latéral extérieur striking Ladybug's yo-yo away and did a quick heel turn to block Chat Noir's staff.
Rena Rouge tried to strike Scarlet Hawkmoth with her flute only for the villain to jump and then use an avant which pushed her into Carapace, who had was twirling his meteor hammer getting ready to strike. Both of them stumbled backward.
Honey Bee flew over him, trying to snatch the cane out of his hands, but he parried her out of the way.
Peace Keeper observed Scarlet Hawkmoth's movements looking for the perfect time to strike. She looked up at Kkachi and signaled her to be ready. The girl nodded.
Peace Keeper moved forward and ducked under the cane strike before giving the man an uppercut punch. It dazed him for a second as she reached out to take the cane, but he recovered struck her in the wrist with the pommel to keep her from taking it.
"How do you have the power of the Peacock? The Peacock hasn't been active for over a century!" he demanded as he drove her backward.
"That's my little secret," she hissed at him as grabbed onto the cane and pushed it upward. The two of them struggled to gain control of it neither gaining any ground.
Scarlet Hawkmoth was so focused on keeping his grip on his weapon, he didn't hear the wind whistling behind him. One second, he was struggling with his cane and the next second it had been forcefully yanked out of his hands.
Quickly, Peace Keeper threw the man over her shoulders and held out her hand, catching the cane as it fell from the sky. Plagg's charm lit up as she whispered, "Cataclysm."
Even with a reduced power level, Cataclysm was strong enough to snap the weapon in two. The pommel glowed a faint red before returning to normal. At once all the scarlet enhanced Akumas started reverting back to humans. Hawkmoth also lost his power up and return to his normal form.
He got up and was flanked on all sides by the Miraculous heroes, including a new one, whose animal he didn't recognize from either the Universal or Chinese Zodiac circle.
His lips curled up in an angry scowl and he clenched his fists. "So, you had a secret weapon as backup if you needed help battling me. Very clever and devious Ladybug."
Ladybug didn't respond to his question. Instead, she snapped her fingers at her teammates. It was a signal to use their powers to bring this fight to an end.
Carapace went first, "Shell Guard!" Instantly the area was covered by a green turtle-shaped force field preventing Hawkmoth's escape.
Rene Rouge brought her flute up to her lips. "Spirit Guides!" Blowing into the flute a simple tune was played. Out of the end, the two spirit foxes appeared. They growled as they took positions on the man's right and left sides. They would pounce on him the second he tried to escape.
Honey Bee touched her Miraculous and called out, "Swarm!" The bees took up position around his head, stingers ready to sting.
Kkachi withdrew her saber calling out, "Bestowment!" before tapping both of Peace Keeper's shoulders. A bluish blackish light surged through the blade and into Peace Keeper.
She felt a boost of power and summoned not only Nooroo's and Duusu's powers but Wayzz's as well. She had never juggled three powers at the same time, but thanks to her retrocognition visions, she knew how to handle it.
Chat Noir grinned and laughed before activating his Cataclysm. Next, to him, Ladybug summoned her Lucky Charm, which was a polished small box, like the ones used in bringing a Miraculous to its wielder.
"You're out of options Hawkmoth. You have nowhere to go. Give up now!"
"Never! You'll have to take my Miraculous off my cold dead body," he barked at them. In his mind, he was frantically trying to figure a way to escape. His perfect plan had been thwarted by teenagers and he was unsure what to do.
As the heroes moved in closer, both he and Ladybug, with her Lucky Charm, saw to their horror a small blue feather drifting in the wind towards his cane. "NO!" Ladybug shouted grabbing for the feather, only to have it slip through her fingers and into the cane.
A bluish glasses shaped mask appeared over the villain's eyes. "Hawkmoth, I am Mayura. Let me help you."
"No, I told you not to use the Miraculous," he whispered under his breath. In his mind, he could see Mayura in his lair. Nathalie's transformation was both breathtaking and strange.
Her eyes had pink irises and sclera's which faded into dark indigo, and there was black liner around her eyes, resembling glasses. Her skin had turned light indigo and her hair was now dark blue, and part of it curls up underneath her left eye. She wore a peacock-feather-like cocktail hat, which was blue and tear-shaped with a light pink mark in the center along with a light blue, translucent veil over her right eye.
She wore a blue dress with a fuzzy black collar and sleeves that end in a point on the back of her hand. The dress appeared to have a set hexagonal texture. The bottom had a front slit skirt, with a skirt which had rounded points with dark blue, light-pink-centered spots, resembling a peacock's tail feathers along the end of it.
The rounded points were edged with translucent, light blue material. Underneath the dress, there were translucent indigo tights that are opaque from the knees down, making the opaque section resemble high heeled boots. She weapon was hand fan made from peacock feathers.
"You are in need of assistance. Let me use your feelings to summon a protector for you."
"Just this once." He took a step back, crossed his arms, and brought them down. A giant purple moth creature appeared above him. Its massive size broke the force field and its wings flapped so hard everyone was sent flying through the air and barely managed to grab the metal supports to keep from being sent miles away.
Mayura renounced the summons as Hawkmoth disappeared from the tower. Once he was far enough away he let go of his transformation clearly exhausted. "Master? Are you okay?" Nooroo asked worriedly.
"We'll pant be having pant a serious talk pant later tonight. Right now pant we need to check on pant Nathalie. We have to see how using a damaged Miraculous has affected her." Wiping the sweat off his forehead the man started walking back to his home.
Back at the Eiffel Tower, the heroes swung back onto the platform. Ladybug and Peace Keeper had grim looks on their faces.
"I understand know why those feathers can be so dangerous. Summoning a protector from emotional pain is a powerful thing."
Peace Keeper nodded. "Duusu is the Kwami of Inner Strength, which requires healing both physical and emotional pain." She bit her lip and added, "The Miraculous is damaged. I don't think it will be used often."
"What's this about a peacock miraculous?" Rene Rouge asked curiously.
"A tale for another day," Chat Noir told her. He turned to the new hero. "Hi. Thanks for saving us back there. We wouldn't have been able to last as long as we did if you hadn't stopped Lila from injuring Ladybug."
"It was an honor to help. I'm Kkachi by the way." She hesitantly held out her hand and they all shook it. Their timers all went off warning they were about to detransform.
The group bounded away to the park and hid under the trees. Rene Rouge and Carapace changed back to their civilian forms first, returning their Miraculouses.
When Honey Bee returned her Miraculous Kkachi was so surprised she yanked her Miraculous out of her hair and stared at her best friend who stared right back at her in shock.
"Juleka/Rose? I never would have suspect you as a heroine!" they both exclaimed at the same time.
Indeed, Alya's eyes widened and Nino muttered something under his breath, which questionably sounded like, "Marinette was right." Ladybug and Chat Noir shared a smirk with each other.
Peace Keeper, who had caught a very fatigued Honorra, looked at her fondly. "I'm pleased you're okay. We feared we never see you again."
"I'm extremely exhausted, but I'm still corporeal," the little magpie assured the Apprentice.
With three minutes left to go, Ladybug and Chat Noir thanked all the temporary heroes for their help. Today, they had not only shown themselves to be worthy of a Miraculous but to be true heroes no matter if they were transformed or not.
Saying their goodbyes everyone dispersed heading where they needed to be. Later the kids would gather in the same park for Marinette's picnic and Ning would return the Miraculous before flying out to Yemen. Master Fu would talk with Honorra about her experience.
It was a happy ending for such a big day in the lives of the Miraculous heroes of Paris.
