Hope walked aboard the ship before hearing another explosion. "Aw man. Not this again." Hope said running to see the smoke from the workshop. "Give it up guys."

"No way. Its gonna happen!" Franky said.

"Maybe we just don't have the right Yo-kai to work with." Tails said.

"Well, maybe if I have time, I can look for them for ya." Hope said.

"Well, we've been doing some research into the matter. We have Blazion who is perfect. We just need two for more power support. And we figured them out. Two Merican Yo-kai: Dinoshi and Sing Kong." Tails said.

"Huh? Definitely don't have those." Hope said. "Guess it is a hunt."

"Well, Dinoshi likes to make people ruin things so maybe its hanging around Marinette. She's always causing problems." Franky said.

"You cant just say that a yo-kai is causing her problems. Wow, I'm starting to get Whisper's feeling about Nate." Hope said.

"Hey, it was just a guess." Franky said.

"Fine. I'll follow her. But you better be ready to say I was right." Hope said running off.

Hope ran down the streets to see Marinette running by a dedication to Ladybug and Cat Noir. He stopped at the statue and saw the man behind it.

"Hey hey, is this to Ladybug and Cat Noir, Mr. Mayor Borgoies?" Hope asked.

"Why yes, and this young man is responsible for the statute. Meet Theo, our artist behind the statue." the mayor said.

"Yes. I'm hoping Ladybug will like it and maybe...sign something for me." Theo said.

"That?" Hope said looking at a poster.

"Yes. That." Theo said. "After this, she will love me."

"Hey, no need to fret. The stars here." Cat Noir said appearing.

"Ah, there you are Cat Noir. But wheres ladybug?" the mayor said.

"I have no idea." Cat Noir said before whispering to Hope. "She's gonna be a no show. Try and find her."

"Right." Hope said running off. "Great now I'm on a hunt for Ladybug and oof!" Hope said before running into something. He saw his comm on the ground before it got smashed by the foot of a dinosaur like creature with a shirt and cap.

"Hehe. Dinoshi!" it said.

"You!" Hope said before it ran off laughing. "Looks like I found one of the ones we need." Hope said looking up the info. ""Dinoshi, a Merican Yo-kai from the Slippery tribe. They make the inspirited ruin anything be it a friendly game or a priceless item. How awful."

"Anything you can make, I can ruin! Hehe. Dinoshi!" Dinoshi said.

"Gotta take care of this guy fast. Which yokai should i use? Any one of them could mess up with his influence. Wait, i got it! Come on out, my friend! Calling...Roughraff! Yo-Kai Medal...do your thing!"

"Summoning...Tough!"

Gruff Stuff

Rough Bluff

Red Ban Jacket Stand

Bling Blang

Tough!

"Roughraff! Oh, what's the big idea?" Roughraff said.

"Hey, I'm sorry we couldnt get acquainted before I summoned you, but do you think you can take care of that pesky lizard?" Hope asked.

"Hmm?" Roughraff said looking at Dinoshi before looking him over. "Heh. Like breaking stuff huh? Well, when it comes to that...I can do it better. I'll...break this guys sunglasses." Roughraff said taking a pair off Hope and smashing them.

"Hey! I just bought those!" Hope said.

"Yeah, well two can play at this game." Dinoshi said.

One hour later…

Pieces of glass and plastic littered the streets as the two Yo-kai lied there.

"You all right, dino breath?" Roughraff said.

"Yeah. Dinoshi!" he said as the two shook hands before Dinoshi flipped his medal to Hope.

"Thanks….just wish you didn't destroy this part of town." Hope said.

"Listen, me and dino boy here are going to try paris's pastries so don't follow!" Roughraff said as the two walked off with an arm over eachother's shoulders.

"Well, that takes care of one prob…" Hope said as a news bulletien came up."...lem?"

"This just in. Cat Noir has just robbed the Louvre of it priceless treasure: the Mona Lisa." a reporter reported.

"What? He would never do that! Unless, someone's been akumatized!" Hope said.

Hawkmoth's Lair…

"Aaaah, this is so perfect." Hawkmotth said.

"So Hawkmoth, whats on the docket for today's villain of the hour?" Pete said.

"Copycat, an exact replica of cat Noir. I created him from the sculptor who loves for Ladybug but is jealous of Cat Noir." Hawk Moth said.

"And ya did it without me? Ah well, no worries. If youre doing the body double thing, I got just the hearltess to help out." Pete said snapping his fingers. Appearing was a large cat like creature. "A pureblood from the realm of darkness. A cat for a cat." Pete said.

"Excellent. He shall be named...The Predator." Hawk Moth said. "Go to him!"

Predator ran out the window and ran through the streets.

"Yeah, haven't exactly trained him yet, so he might...eat Copy Cat after the jobs done." Pete said.

"NO matter. He wont know the difference between my replica and Cat Noir. If we are sucessful, he will have his and Ladybug's miraculous in his stomach." Hawk Moth said.

Hope was running to the Louvre when he saw Ladybug and the police around the building. "Cat Noir's already in there, isn't he?" Hope asked.

"Yep. This is one the police beat the heroes to." a cop said.

"Crap, and we cant tell if its the real one or not." Hope said before seein Tatteltells medal. "But maybe we dont have to. GIve us a hand-"

"It might be a little late for that." Ladybug said before seeing Cat Noir escape and make a run for it with the police giving chase.

"Now both are here, but which one's Copycat?" Hope said.

"What are you talking about? Cat Noir was the only one here." Ladybug said.

"Oh. Sorry, Its been a pretty weird morning." Hope said. "Shouldn't we be running after?"

"Nah. Let the big shot police handle it. Besides, we can wait for him to call me." Ladybug said.

"Oh, youre weapons are also phones?" Hope asked.

"Yep. Only the real cat noir would have it so all we have to do is wait." Ladybug said.

It was soon that a call came.

"Good news. I found my copy cat." Cat Noir said. "And I'm gonna teach him a lesson." he added before hanging up.

"He cant handle him alone. Lets go." Hope said.

"You read my mind." Ladybug said.

Suddenly, the Predator leaped into their path as they were almost there.

"A heartless controlled by Copycat?" Ladybug asked.

"No, not controlled fully. Pete mustve sent this one before he had time to condition it. It doesn't know its purpose, ot its mission. It's just… destroying everything in sight." Hope said watching it demolish a building. "I have to purify it. This is a heartless that hasnt fully recouped yet. I can even beat the organization to it. We just have to lead it to copy cats hideout and make sure the Organization doesnt track it."

"A little late for that." said a voice as Hope saw Xion, Roxas and Axel. "Sorry, but that thing needs to go." Axel said.

"Ladybug, I have an idea." Hope said taking out three medals. "First, I'll call-Whoa." Hope said nearly dodging a hit from Roxas.

"You're trying to defend a Heartless? Its not right to defend one, even a pure blood." Roxas said.

"Pure blood?" Hope asked.

"Heartless come in two types. Pureblood and Emblem. Purebloods are Heartless born from the realm of Darkness. Emblem are artificially created ones made with technology or darkening of the heart. Emblems are the only ones who release hearts, but this one won't, but it'll cause problems for us if it remains." Xion said.

"That's why we're here to take it out." Roxas said.

"Not all heartless are evil. I mastered purification for that reason. You'll see. Okay, come on out-" Hope started before dodging another strike.

"You won't be calling any Yo-kai. We're making sure of that." Axel said.

"Ladybug, go on without me. I need to hold them back." Hope said.

"Are you crazy? You cant take on three members of the Organization!" Ladybug said.

"Go!" Hope shouted as Ladybug ran.

"I really owe your friend for a favor, but there's no way I'm letting it mess with a mission." Axel said.

Hope fought off the Organization members at once. The Predator stopped its rampage and looked at hope it growled before sending him. He was willing to risk everything to help someone like Predator, even if it was a heartless.

"Get out of the way!" Xion said clashing with Hope. "You have no idea how bad we need this. I need this!"

"Well tough luck." Hope said before seeing Predator run at them. "Yes! Come and…."Hope said before the heartfulness turned to despair when he saw it shot up by pink diamond like projectiles before it fell and faded.

"Whoa. This thing was pretty wild." said a voice as a figure holding two blasters walked up to the three other members.

"Xigbar. Why are you?" Roxas said.

"Boss figured you might not be enough, so I was asked to tag along to finish it. Glad I did." Xigbar said.

"Nice shooting." Hope said.

"You shouldn't be thanking me. After all, sooner or later, I'll be ending you to, baby blue." Xigbar said.

"And youre supposed to be?" Hope said.

He then removed his hood to reveal a face with an eye patch and scar. "Remember me now...baby blue?"

"No way…" Hope said as he shook.

"Yeah. You knew me as Braig when I was a somebody. Now, I'm the Organization's No. 2." Xigbar said.

"You…." Hope said glaring at him.

"Heh. You two even give me the same look." Xigbar said.

"Jexi. He faced you too." Hope said.

"Jexi? Oh right. Color Boy. I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about the kid you failed to protect. You know, Ventus." Xigbar said.

"If Jexi were here, he'd do worse things to you than me." Hope said.

"Heh. You don't even have the guts to do me in." Xigbar said before he and the other three vanished.

Hope then ran to the warehouse where Copy cat was and already saw them going head to head.

"Wow. I am really late." Hope said before seeing a picture of Ladybug on the ground. "He's that sculptor from earlier. And that means…" Hope said before grinning and picking the photo up. "Hey! Ladybug!" Hope shouted as she looked back to see Hope ripping up the photo as his fist glowed. "Snap out of it!" he shouted hitting the akuma and purifying it.

"Whew, thanks. He was a real pain." Cat Noir said. "Now...we gotta go." he added as they ran off.

"No worries." Hope said before seeing Xion. "What do you want?"

"Hope...what you said back there. Did you actually mean that about the heartless?" Xion asked.

"Yeah. Not all of them can be evil. I mean, I could get some better lives." Hope said.

"Would the same go...for someone not meant to exist?" Xion asked.

"I guess." Hope said before seeing Xion lightly smile.

"Then I'm glad...I met you." she said before vanishing.

"Me too." Hope said.
