Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug, Cat Noir and Steel Butterfly

by bigvic150

A young man is brought to the world of Miraculous Ladybug by Master Fu to help Ladybug and her allies. But the twist is, there's a different kind of Butterfly Miraculous in the Miracle Box that's completely different from the Moth Miraculous. Will Steel Butterfly fulfill his destiny, or will threats like Hawk Moth succeed? Chloe redemption. Future Bunnyx salt and redemption.

1. Prologue

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug, Cat Noir and Steel Butterfly.

Prologue.

(Author's notes: This is it. Just as I promised to make after my first and somewhat disastrous but currently and permanently non-existent Miraculous Ladybug and Ghost Rider crossover was finished, is this past-tense new Miraculous Ladybug story. The ultimate Miraculous Ladybug champion chosen by Master Fu to be trained to fight Hawk Moth, Mayura, and all of their successors and allies has arrived into the Quantic Universe from the real world.

Just so you know, things in this story in terms of the chapters will be in the same chronological order as my other Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction story I sadly had to delete because of bad reviews. That fanfiction I made was wonderful because I had gotten into the Butterfly Marinette Dupain-Cheng fandom boat. However, the chapters will also feature new elements of the story because of the choices made.

FYI, in this story, there's another Butterfly Miraculous in the Chinese Zodiac Miracle Box and it has the same powers and abilities as all of the Miraculouses shown in the show so far. Master Fu may or may not have neglected to tell his new protégé about it, but this second Butterfly Miraculous has the concept of numerical unity. That means the second Butterfly Miraculous has the powers and abilities of every single superhero and supervillain in existence, including Miraculous wielders and Akumatized supervillains.

Additionally, for Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Cat Noir, the changes from my previous stories about them will also be featured, reused, and slightly altered for some of them and the remaining majority of them will be used, because even a storywriter has to try new things.

Moreover, in future chapters, another user of the Rabbit Miraculous will be working with the new timeline's Bunnyx as Guardians of the Quantic Multiverse. But as for the Bunnyx of the original timeline... let's just say my past-tense new OC will eventually have to give her a firm lecture on how much she screwed up with the Cat Blanc and Ephemeral timelines, and how much she needs to improve in her duties as Time Guardian.

At the same time, my OC will be leading a giant army of superheroes in future chapters, starting with Heroes' Day.

Next-to-last, in those same future chapters, Steel Butterfly's inner demons will be revealed. Especially in terms of how he firmly believes Hawk Moth, Mayura, Lila Rossi, Chloe Bourgeois from the Miracle Queen/Penalteam time frame, Felix Graham de Vanily Fathom and Amelie Graham de Vanily from the Felix/Multiplication time frame, Tomoe Tsurugi, Techno-Pirate, Cash/King Cash, and Bunnyx among others soon to come in seasons 6-12 should be punished for their actions. Particularly Bunnyx's refusal to tell Ladybug about the truth of how the Cat Blanc timeline came to be, her refusal to use the Rabbit Miraculous to find out if Lila Rossi is Gabriel Agreste's successor as Hawk Moth, and her refusal to use the Rabbit Miraculous to prevent Lila Rossi from fulfilling her destiny. Whether Lila Rossi's destiny features her actually becoming the second Butterfly Miraculous wielding supervillain to take up the mantle of Hawk Moth or not makes no difference to neither me nor my original characters nor my portrayals of the characters.

Lastly, I own nothing about Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir except the original characters, my portrayals of some of the OC Miraculouses, and my portrayals of the majority of the characters.

Enjoy this prologue of one of my new stories.)

(Real life Earth 11426, New York City, December 30th, 2040, first person POV...)

I'll bet you're wondering who I am. Am I right? Well, I guess I'll just outright inform you so that there won't be any confusion between either carbon copies of myself, clones, or anyone sharing either parts of my name or my overall appearance in general.

I'm Miguel Guevara.

I was born and raised in New York City on January thirty-first, 1988, and I eventually became famous for being a writer with a passion for writing my own fanfiction stories, in addition to designing superhero costumes with metallic-looking body armor made of craft foam for either myself or for people who go to superhero conventions, and working as a part-time Transformers toy designer for Hasbro.

Yeah, I literally love the Transformers franchise, but I absolutely hated the original Generation 1 toys; they were abominations for toys that had very little articulation, and some parts of most of the toys tended to be extremely breakable.

And of course, ever since I turned 8 years old in 1996, I started collecting high quality Transformers action figures starting with Transformers Beast Wars. And while keeping a close eye on the toy market as well as everything new about the Transformers franchise.

But anyway, that's not important right now. Just so there's no confusion on what I look like when it comes to carbon copies and/or clones, I'm standing at six feet and four inches tall. I have shoulder length dirty blonde hair that is slowly fading to black no matter how much time I spend in and out of the rays of the sun. I have brown eyes. I generally wear contacts because I was born with impaired vision, and I wear reading glasses if need be. I'm literally as muscular as some of the greatest powerbuilders in the world for someone of my caliber, mostly because my childhood and my teenage years revolved around rigorous amounts of daily exercise for a whole year, 365 days, 3 hours a day, every day. Along with the fact that I exercise a lot because I want to be as healthy as I can be. I may possess the physique of a powerbuilder, but I'm trying not to become famous. Fame comes with varying consequences of different types, depending on your works of fame and depending on how you make yourself famous.

In addition to that, another reason why I'm as muscular as some of the greatest powerbuilders of all time is because of the fact that I'm on a strict nutritional diet and I generally always try my hardest to actively avoid eating any unhealthy food, no matter if it's store-bought or prepared at a fast-food restaurant or even made at home.

As for the rest of my appearance, I have no facial hair, I wear absolutely no jewelry whatsoever, and I generally avoid wearing gangster clothing because I don't want to be mistaken for a gang member. In addition to that, I occasionally wear superhero-themed clothing, but whenever I go to someplace important like work, I always try to look and act professional. At the same time, I always try to avoid wearing black clothing because, in simple terms, my family's religious belief says that any human being wearing black from head to toe is considered a devil spawn and that the only kind of devil spawn that would wear black from head to toe would be the Antichrist.

And yes, for future reference, I come from a religious household, a strict one at that.

As for my colorful fashion sense, I generally avoid wearing red or dark colored clothing in the warmer seasons because of bees. You see, bees believe human beings wearing red or dark colored clothing to be a threat. And also because of the fact that I'm scared of bees. But other than that, I generally wear casual colorful clothing in colors that don't clash, formal suits when I work at one of the Hasbro facilities in New York, and nice clothing when I go to family gatherings.

As for the time of day in which my adventure in another dimension began to take place, it's currently December 30th, 2040, which coincidentally makes me fifty-two years old and we were just one day short of New Years' Eve.

We here in the United States – me and my younger siblings and their kids and their grandkids specifically housed in New York City – had just finished watching the series finale of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, one of our favorite superhero cartoons in existence.

There were twelve seasons in total, with over twelve Miraculous World Special episodes that have partial chronological timelines in different parts of the main series timeline, and the overall plot storylines for the main series were spanning over seven to eight to twenty-five years in real life. Along that kind of journey, we found all kinds of things about the show that we didn't like.

For my siblings, there were very few things they didn't like.

On the other hand, I found so many things I didn't like right from the beginning all the way to the very end of the road. In fact, there were so many things about the show I didn't like that I couldn't even keep count of how many there was at first.

Chief among the things I hated about Miraculous Ladybug includes the following: number one, Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth willingly chose not to join his son Adrien around their mansion's dinner schedule to make himself a bit more presentable.

Number two, both Chloe Bourgeois and Sabrina Raincomprix were always being spoiled brats and never changing their ways because of the not-so humorous mindsets and fan-tormenting ideas of the sole director of the very show throughout seasons 1-5.

Number three, Adrien became Cat Noir for the first time before Plagg can finish explaining everything just because Adrien was too excited to escape his sheltered house life. (Although, to be honest, I can't say I blame him.)

Number four, throughout the show towards season 6, Cat Noir was always being constantly reckless, even as described by Bunnyx in the Timetagger episode of season 3 that in the future, Cat Noir's recklessness will inevitably lead to Timetagger imprisoning Bunnyx in Ancient Egypt.

Number five, throughout seasons 1-3, Ladybug absolutely had to rely on her yoyo for transportation before the New York Special and the Shanghai Special chronologically and non-canonically introduced the space power-up potion that lets the heroes be able to fly by usage of magic-infused jetpacks with retractable wings. And also before it was revealed that the Rooster Miraculous can grant the Miraculous users – either using the rooster thumb ring by itself or in a Miraculous unification – virtually any kind of superpowers the user would possibly need, except for other Miraculous powers or any superpower revolving around learning an enemy superhero or enemy supervillain's true identity or powers that interfere with the magic and powers of other kwamis or powers of a godlike nature like reshaping reality.

Number six, in the first Origins episode, Marinette was being unfairly rushed into the superhero business when she should've had plenty of time to train herself for no more than ten hours to seven years thanks to her parents if she ever chose to reveal her Ladybug identity to them on her first day on the job. (But admittedly, unless that is part of a rewrite fanfiction, that probably won't happen.)

Number seven, in the same first Origins episode, Cat Noir completely forgot that he can use his Cataclysm only once before having to feed Plagg due to not having reached adulthood yet, but that thankfully happened only once during the first fight against Stoneheart and never happened again.

Number eight, Ladybug accidentally forgot to purify Stoneheart's Akuma because she was rushed and because she transformed before she could ask Tikki such an important question. (But also admittedly, because of the writers under Thomas Astruc's leadership, that was something they put in the episode on purpose to accelerate the story.)

Number nine, starting in the Origins episodes, Marinette kept her identity a secret from her parents and never trusted them to help with even Lila Rossi's antics. (Admittedly, unless we take Sabine and Tom's Akumatizations into Qilin and Weredad out of the equation, Marinette still should've come up with at least 35 to 90 contingency plans for just in case her identity is exposed to her parents and they don't react to it too well without being Akumatized. At the same time, Marinette still should've considered recruiting at least her parents to the team as a start. And also at the same time, Marinette should've notified her parents about Lila after dealing with The Collector so that they wouldn't fall for Lila's lies in the Sentimonster Ladybug episode.)

Number ten, in the first Origins episode, Ladybug caught herself before she could reveal her name to Cat Noir upon their first meeting, thereby starting the stupid and screwed up identity rule and love square that caused them and everyone around them a lot of grief, heartbreak, and so forth in the negative sense.

Number eleven, starting in the first Origins episode, Alya Cesaire grew out to be extremely reckless and stubborn enough not to do what she should've done in the chronological cartoon, such as checking her sources and investigating claims from people like Lila Rossi, just like an actual reporter equivalent to Nadia Chamack and/or Lois Lane from DC Comics. Along with being headstrong and stubborn enough to constantly put herself in danger to film Ladybug and Cat Noir's heroics against Hawk Moth's Akumatized victims.

Number twelve, throughout the show's existence, Plagg has acted gluttonous, irresponsible, and he tended to allow his desire and love/obsession for camembert cheese to nearly get everyone in trouble on multiple occasions. (Although, to be honest, he really did act serious on occasion like in the New York Special or in the beginning of Cat Blanc, either by himself or when the situation demanded it.)

Number thirteen, in The Collector, Ladybug and Cat Noir were completely tricked by Gabriel Agreste's Collector stunt partially thanks to the identity rule and the love square which I find both to be complete baloney, and also because of the fact that neither of them managed to ask Master Fu if there was any limits to Hawk Moth's powers in terms of who he can Akumatize and whether or not he can Akumatize himself.

Number fourteen, Ladybug dropped Gabriel Agreste as a suspect of Hawk Moth's identity regardless of whether or not Thomas Astruc intended for it to happen after the incident with The Collector. BIG. MISTAKE.

Number fifteen, Marinette rubbed her Ultimate Mecha Strike III victory in Max's face in The Gamer.

Number sixteen, Ladybug neglected to clear things with Alya and the Ladyblog about Lila Rossi's true colors thanks to that motherf****** b****** Thomas Astruc.

Number seventeen, Marinette avoided Luka during the Crocoduel episode just because she was afraid of maintaining her previous friendship with Luka like a mature person would do after calling off a disastrous relationship, thereby leading to Jagged Stone and Anarka Couffaine getting Akumatized into the Crocoduel Guitar Villain and Captain Hardrock.

Number eighteen, Marinette lied about being in love with Cat Noir out of fear of her Ladybug identity being discovered, thus leading to her father being Akumatized into Weredad.

Number nineteen, Marinette helped Chloe sabotage Kagami's chances with Adrien in Animaestro out of fear of Adrien leaving with Kagami to Japan to spend the rest of their futures there. (Never mind Marinette's overactive cartoonish imagination; the results are still the same, including the show's fictionalized Thomas Astruc getting Akumatized into Animaestro.)

Number twenty, Marinette chose Adrien to be the first user of the Snake Miraculous, and Adrien accepted it as an opportunity to win over Ladybug.

Number twenty-one, Marinette publicly called out Lila Rossi on her lies in front of Adrien in Volpina instead of thinking things through. (Although, I admit that it would've been moot since regardless of whether or not Ladybug called out Lila on her lies gently with and without being aware of Lila's loneliness, whatever else we all would've discovered about Lila as shown in fanfictions of her backstory as well as what we all learned in the Revelation episode would've all still been the leading motivation for Lila willingly allying with Hawk Moth against Marinette and Ladybug nevertheless.)

Number twenty-two, Master Wang Fu's neglection of Cat Noir's place and desires because of his selective favoritism and because of Thomas Astruc wanting Ladybug to be in the lead due to favoring main female protagonists like Wonder Woman.

Number twenty-three, Master Fu's f****** stupid rule about Marinette and Adrien handing over their Miraculouses if anyone were to discover their identities, no matter if it's the logical choice or not. The rule specifically going for if Cat Noir finds out Ladybug's identity and vice versa before Hawk Moth was put in prison alongside his allies.

Number twenty-four, Marinette followed Adrien to Shanghai under the auspices of "discovering her Chinese family's roots in Shanghai," although she and Adrien still stopped Hawk Moth, Cash and YanLuoShi from getting the Prodigious.

Number twenty-five, Marinette never trusted Alya with the knowledge of her Ladybug identity all the way until the Gang of Secrets episode of season 4, for both the good reasons and for the bad reasons.

Number twenty-six, Marinette and Ladybug didn't try harder to help with Chloe's redemption – thank you very much, Thomas Ass-truck – and that end result is Chloe betraying the team, and allying with Hawk Moth, Mayura, Lila Rossi, Felix Fathom, Bob Roth, XY, and the other Parisian-native Miraculous Ladybug antagonists of the show, and Master Fu renouncing his guardianship over the Miracle Box and passing it onto Marinette, thereby giving her even more problems in season 4.

Number twenty-seven, Alya constantly refused to check her sources with Lila Rossi's interviews no matter how much people insist, all because she's prideful in her work to the point where she's afraid of checking her sources only to discover she was wrong about Lila all along.

Number twenty-eight, thanks to Thomas Ass-truck, Marinette willingly and unwillingly forgot that she did have proof of Lila's lies that could've exposed her after the Chameleon incident and before Adrien naively and stupidly convinced her to take the high road.

Number twenty-nine, Gabriel Agreste hired Lila for his own goals of keeping Adrien away from his friends and making sure to Akumatize Marinette into the ultimate champion to help him accomplish his goals of reviving his wife instead of having a restraining order placed against Lila to prevent her from clinging on to Adrien.

Number thirty, Nathalie/Mayura interfered with Hawk Moth's screwed up defeat in the Heroes' Day battle to prevent her boss from being arrested and put on trial for his crimes as Paris' first ever magical terrorist.

Number thirty-one, everyone refused to do a thing about Marinette's brief expulsion from Francoise Dupont and averted Scarlet Akumatization in the Ladybug episode, only to end up trying to investigate Lila's lies even though it was already too late.

Number thirty-two, Bunnyx refused to tell Ladybug all about the events of the Cat Blanc timeline, simply because Bunnyx stupidly believed that "the less Minibug knows about this future was for the better." At least, if she was to say such a thing in those words.

Number thirty-three, Bunnyx had also secretly refused to see through her Burrow to see if Lila actually does become the second Hawk Moth or not, specifically in the current timeline all the way to season 5, season 6, season 7, season 8, season 9, season 10, season 11, and season 12.

Number thirty-four, all the heroes never thought about adding magical medieval body armor to their normal outfits. Or even Kevlar armors to prepare for when they would finally get shot by a metal bullet by either a criminal or by any Akumatized police officer wielding an actual gun.

Number thirty-five, Ladybug never truly realized the aforementioned reasons why Alix Kubdel is unworthy of the Rabbit Miraculous unless she's properly trained and warned not to make the same mistakes in both the show and in fanfictions that feature her either screwing up badly or attempting to change the timeline in the past to suit her future. Like that Miracle Queen AU story in which she tried to stop Luka and Chloe from defeating Hawk Moth and Mayura and while attempting to take the Miracle Box to Ladybug by force.

Number thirty-six, Chloe's betrayal in the Battle of the Miraculouses special caused the temporary heroes' identities to be exposed to Hawk Moth. (Admittedly based on my evaluation of the data accumulated on Thomas Astruc and the show in total, the people in the show to blame are Ladybug, Cat Noir, Bunnyx, Hawk Moth, and Mayura.)

Number thirty-seven, most of the bad things some people might've spotted during the New York Special which happen to include the possibility of Mayor Bourgeois keeping all information about Hawk Moth and his allies and enemies out of the public reach outside of Paris so as to avoid a permanent discontinuation of tourism in Paris.

Number thirty-eight, Marinette Dupain-Cheng kept her secret identity of Ladybug a secret from her parents at Tikki's request and at Master Fu's insistence much later (off-screen.)

Number thirty-nine, Marinette and Adrien kept their identities a secret from each other thanks to Marinette's near blunder in the Origins episode and then at Master Fu's behest much later on.

Number forty, for the whole entirety of seasons 1-5, Cat Noir was being far too pushy and demanding for the reveal to happen much sooner in the primary timeline of the show because of Master Fu and Marinette.

Number forty-one, the love square caused many hardships and nearly causing the dynamics between the heroes to irreversibly fall apart on several occasions.

Number forty-two, Adrien told Marinette to take the high road with Lila Rossi's lies after the Chameleon incident just because he f****** believed that Lila's lies weren't hurting anyone, sheltered house life or not, and just because he feared Lila's wrath as an Akumatized villain despite not knowing the whole picture of Lila's true colors. Along with not wanting to make any waves just because he didn't want to deal with the drama that would follow in the wake of Lila being exposed and arrested.

Number forty-three, Marinette never bothered to tell Adrien about Lila's threat in response to the high road persuasion speech under the belief that he wouldn't believe her and that he still wouldn't listen to her desire to expose Lila before it's too late. Along with her obsession with Adrien negating her somewhat innate sense of right and wrong.

Number forty-four, Marinette's first ever Akumatization during the Sentimonster Ladybug incident was averted all thanks to Catalyst's previous uses of the Peacock Miraculous in its damaged state no matter her boss' warnings.

Number forty-five, Master Fu never taught Adrien about what the difference is when it comes to consequences between taking the high road with tabloids and taking the high road with compulsive liar bullies who willingly collaborate with magic-abusing terrorists just to settle a petty grudge, all before the Battle of the Miraculouses season 3 finale.

Number forty-six, Master Fu gave the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses to children even in spite of the benefits for choosing children in the 21st century to be Miraculous users. Now, hear me out. When Master Fu gave the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses to Marinette and Adrien, he never gave them much of a choice or even much of a vote. In the debut Originsepisodes, Marinette and Adrien were 13 years old, eventually turning 14 during seasons 1 and 2 of the mainstream Miraculous Ladybug cartoon. At that age for teenagers, the pair should have been worrying more about school, their friends, and what they planned to do with their lives in the future rather than the fate of the world and battling an adult supervillain terrorist. To top that, for over four seasons, Adrien had started to feel abandoned by both his allies and his father, partially no thanks to Marinette keeping secrets even more in the aftermath of Cat Blanc and the Battle of the Miraculouses, as well as the fact that Marinette had become increasingly stressed and nervous after facing Cat Blanc and becoming the new Guardian of the Miracle Box. Both Adrien and Marinette eventually had to accept that they lost all the Miraculouses except for their own to Shadow Moth in the season 4 finale. In essence, Master Fu placed far too much pressure on children just because of his age slowing him down, just because he never took specific risks some counterparts of all the heroes did in fanfictions in the real world.

Number forty-seven, Adrien was completely unaware of Felix's true motives in Shadow Moth's Final Attack. Like seriously, the Akumatized five year old villain Risk removed everyone's inhibitions, making them impulsively do whatever they wanted. In other words, taking huge risks that they normally wouldn't ever do, even if such things were a last resort. With that in mind, many viewers wonder why Adrien would ever want to swap places with Felix when Adrien was offered the chance. Throughout Miraculous Ladybug ever since his debut episode, especially taking into account Amelie Graham de Vanily's poor parenting that was never brought into the public light for punishment from the Queen of England in the show, Felix proved that he was untrustworthy. Adrien apparently forgot all about that because of two things: 1, he accepted Felix's fake apology at the end of his debut episode as gospel instead of investigating discreetly from a distance, all thanks to his naïve views on redemption, second chances, all issues being resolved in a diplomatic manner, and happily ever afters. 2, Adrien's naïve views rendered him unable to grasp that there's darkness in people like Chloe, Lila, Felix, Gabriel, and so forth. And 3, Adrien made the choice to swap places with Felix of his own free will. Even though Adrien was forced to act rashly to avoid the fake world tour even without knowing how any part of it was faked, it doesn't mean that he should have acted so foolishly, which Felix proved when he betrayed Ladybug at the end of Shadow Moth's Final Attack Part 2.

Number forty-eight, Tikki constantly told Marinette to stay positive during Lila's reign instead of acting like a real mentor who speaks from experience. Especially because of how long Tikki has existed and because of how much time she spent with Marinette's predecessors before they individually died.

Number forty-nine, Caline Bustier's teaching style and naive view of how the world works.

Number fifty, Mr. Damocles' attitude with the students, especially because of Chloe and many other students like her with politically powerful parents and also especially during Marinette's unjust, illegal and unfair expulsion.

Number fifty-one, the school board was never informed about any of the school incidents.

Number fifty-two, Mr. Damocles and Caline Bustier kept their jobs despite never doing them properly.

Number fifty-three, Master Fu inevitably sacrificed his memories because of Marinette's obliviousness towards Adrien's dual identity and heartbreak over Adrien and Kagami Tsurugi being together partially being what led to Master Fu to literally be discovered by Hawk Moth and Mayura, in addition to Chloe Bourgeois' betrayal.

Number fifty-four, Su-Han said that the Miraculouses were only meant for adults despite not knowing at first or perhaps at all that the possibility of an adult Miraculous user willingly turning evil after being tempted because the possibility of doing whatever they wanted was all too real. (But admittedly, like I said, he probably didn't know about it.)

Number fifty-five, Su-Han tried to take the Mother Miracle Box from Marinette's possession in his debut appearance.

Number fifty-six, Su-Han said that he would take back the Miracle Box if Marinette failed in her duties despite warming up to her.

Number fifty-seven, Su-Han treated the kwamis in Marinette's possession so far like cosmic tools of ultimate power to be controlled on a tight leash instead of creatures to be treated with respect and compassion just because of Plagg sinking Atlantis, causing the Leaning Tower of Pisa to lean on its foundation and accidentally causing the extinction of the dinosaurs and the dragons of the Quantic Multiverse along with the other kwamis accidentally and purposely using their powers without being merged with their associated Miraculous jewels.

Number fifty-eight, people believed Lila's lies and falling for them hook, line, and sinker despite every and all forms of the evidence to the contrary of her stories being in their faces.

Number fifty-nine, Alix Kubdel/Bunnyx refused to do anything with Lila's lies just because her ability to travel through time and observe points of time thanks to the Rabbit Miraculous would've shown her Lila's true colors. Along with the fact that she can't interfere with the timeline just because she's too wimpy about the consequences and just because users of the Rabbit Miraculous are heavily affected by any and all changes to the timeline. Along with the fact that, like I said, Bunnyx is willing to do anything to keep her future intact for her own benefit.

Number sixty, Bunnyx neglected to tell Ladybug and Cat Noir about a second Hawk Moth replacing the original one at some point in the future.

Number sixty-one, Bunnyx's actions as the user of the Rabbit Miraculous were said to be OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTIONS OF THE ORDER OF THE GUARDIANS, even though at the time of season 5, it was yet to be confirmed.

Number sixty-two, many problems within the show had so many alternative solutions that Thomas Astruc never put into the show whatsoever, specifically the solutions that can only come from fanfictions or from writers' debates.

Number sixty-three, Cat Noir was being pushed to the side in season four all because of the show's pathetic excuse for a director getting everyone's hopes up on an irregular basis and for purposely leaving him on the sidelines despite the title of the show saying Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, not Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug. And also because of Astruc favoring female lead protagonists like Ladybug or perhaps even Wonder Woman.

Number sixty-four, Ladybug, Queen Bee, Vesperia, Ryuko, Coq Courage/Rooster Bold, and Eagle never got the ability to fly outside of adulthood or their space transformations or using the power of the Rooster Miraculous.

Number sixty-five, Chloe Bourgeois never suffered the consequences for her actions throughout the whole show before and after the Battle of the Miraculouses two-parter season 3 finale or even after The Last Attack of Shadow Moth aka Shadow Moth's Final Attack.

Number sixty-six, Mayor Andre Bourgeois never suffered the consequences for his actions as the pathetic excuse for a Parisian mayor.

Number sixty-seven, Adrien never fully realized firsthand that forgiving and forgetting in his fictionalized real life and in the works of fiction he is often allowed to watch/read are ultimately different in regards to social interactions, schoolyard bullies, and compulsive liars who would do anything to get whatever they wanted. Hawk Moth's interference included and excluded.

Number sixty-eight, Adrien never suffered the consequences for his own actions concerning his enabling attitude and naïve faith with Chloe Bourgeois, Lila Rossi's lies, and others like them.

Number sixty-nine, Hawk Moth was never defeated in the New York Special and therefore was never put on trial for nearly crippling the United States and for nearly starting a nuclear World War Three just because he was unable to properly move on from his wife's death like a real man.

Number seventy, Lila Rossi was never exposed before and after the season 4 or season 5 finales, appropriately titled "The Last Attack of Shadow Moth/Shadow Moth's Final Attack" and "The Last Day."

Number seventy-one, Marinette exposed her true identity to Alya in Gang of Secrets despite somewhat having been on bad terms because of her Guardianship of the Miracle Box and because of Lila Rossi's lies.

Number seventy-two, Thomas Astruc f****** ruined our expectations with the Ephemeral episode ON PURPOSE, JUST LIKE WITH THE CAT BLANC EPISODE, THE SHANGHAI SPECIAL, AND THE NEW YORK SPECIAL. (He really thinks he's f****** funny just because he owned the primary cartoon timeline before and after season 5 finished.)

Number seventy-three, Juleka Couffaine never got two clawed gloves as Purple Tigress with the Tiger Miraculous since it was only one Panjas bracelet instead of two.

Number seventy-four, Ryuko never got clawed gloves despite the fact that dragons have claws.

Number seventy-five, Eagle never got clawed gloves despite the fact that eagles have talons.

Number seventy-six, Lady Lion never had clawed gloves regardless of whether or not she uses the somewhat non-existent Lion Miraculous.

Number seventy-seven, Lady Dragon never got clawed gloves outside of her animalistic Prodigious transformations.

Number seventy-eight, the show never specifically stated how the jetpacks for Ladybug and Cat Noir's space transformations could be refueled or repaired if the jetpacks were to run out of fuel or get heavily damaged or lightly damaged.

Number seventy-nine, the show never specifically revealed how the jetpacks for the space power up potion actually work in terms of magical fuel and magical technology.

Number eighty, the show never revealed to the audience how the Butterfly Miraculous could be used to create superhero champions because of the revelation of Future Hawk Moth in Timetagger and then after The Last Day Part 2.

Number eighty-one, the show never specifically revealed how Ladybug, Ryuko, Queen Bee, Vesperia, Eagle, and Coq Courage/Rooster Bold would be able to unlock their respective flight capabilities outside of using the space power-up potion, outside of getting Akumatized, outside of using the power of the Rooster Miraculous, and outside of waiting for adulthood to come.

Number eighty-two, Su-Han picked favorites with Marinette as his personal apprentice just like with Master Fu, along with Marinette being stricter with the identity rule between her and Cat Noir because of the Cat Blanc episode and because of Bunnyx refusing to tell the truth – WHAT A TOTAL B**** AND COWARD.

Number eighty-three, Felix Graham de Vanily Fathom/Flairmidable with the Dog Miraculous betrayed Ladybug and handed the entire Miracle Box to Shadow Moth in exchange for the Peacock Miraculous, and the only things to blame are the love square, Ladybug and Cat Noir being in the dark about their identities because of the Cat Blanc and Ephemeral timelines/episodes, and because Bunnyx didn't have the guts to intervene on Paris' behalf.

Number eighty-four, Rabbit Noir came very close to discovering the Cat Blanc timeline in the season 5 premiere if it wasn't for the writers and Thomas Astruc being lazy yet again.

Number eighty-five, Bunnyx's father knew about his daughter's identity thanks to Bunnyx sending her father postcards from the future without Future Ladybug knowing about it or giving permission in the first place.

Number eighty-six, Alim Kubdel revealed Bunnyx's identity to Ms. Bustier's class without any regard for how Lila Rossi could possibly find out due to Thomas Astruc and his team of writers still being lazy with whether or not everyone else will find out about her true colors.

Number eighty-seven, Tomoe Tsurugi started willingly helping Monarch in the Multiplication episode by creating technological rings that can allow Monarch to transfer the powers of a Miraculous jewel in his possession to any of his Akumatized villain allies as long as they're wearing them.

Number eighty-eight, Bunnyx never bothered to find loopholes for Monarch's defeat in the past just because she was too wimpy about the consequences of changing the time stream in such a way and just because she wants to maintain her past and make sure that her future happens the exact same way she remembers how it happened.

Number eighty-nine, it took five seasons – FIVE SEASONS – for Marinette and Adrien to finally defeat Monarch and enter a safe, healthy, honest, and trustworthy romantical relationship with each other as civilians and as superheroes, albeit in secret.

Number ninety, it took nearly all twelve seasons for Lila Rossi to be exposed and sent to prison, and that's just after she became Gabriel Agreste's unofficial successor as Hawk Moth.

Number ninety-one, it also took nearly all twelve seasons for Felix Fathom, Chloe Bourgeois, Tomoe Tsurugi, Amelie Graham de Vanily by association, and many of Lila's followers to finally suffer the consequences of their actions.

Number ninety-two, it also took nearly all five of the first full seasons for Adrien to fully comprehend that Lila is irredeemable and that her lies have been hurting Marinette, and that he was a naïve coward just because he didn't want to make any waves and lose the first friends he made just because they heard something they didn't want to hear or to believe no matter how much evidence is provided for them.

Number ninety-three, Marinette and the entire French Miraculous Superhero Team never used ANY of the fanfiction solutions to their problems in the original timeline from season 1 to season 12 whatsoever.

Number ninety-four, Felix returned to Paris in an episode I can't easily remember due to me losing my photographic memory day by day because, let's face it, I'm getting older. Anyway, Felix returned while using the Peacock Miraculous to fight Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Number ninety-five, Nathalie continued helping Monarch starting in Reunion by getting Akumatized into Safari, and she nearly succeeded in finding out Ladybug and Cat Noir's identities if not for their previous experience in switching Miraculouses. Along with being revealed to be a former treasure hunter who explored the world alongside Gabriel and Emilie Agreste to hunt for magical artifacts.

Number ninety-six, Emilie Agreste's original recordings revealing Gabriel's obsession for finding the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses predating his time as Hawk Moth and her recordings begging for Gabriel to stop his quest along with her recording to Nathalie with orders to take care of Adrien in the event she dies and in the event Gabriel either dies or finally gets sent to prison. (But thankfully, Nathalie kept those recordings and kept true to her promise of taking care of Adrien. But sadly, she's still going to be sent to prison after The Last Day Part 2, especially since she still helped Gabriel with his crimes from season 1 to season 5.)

Number ninety-seven, Amelie Graham de Vanily lied to Ladybug and Cat Noir about where Felix was in Multiplication just because her naivety and her immense love for her son – Sentimonster or not – won't allow her to see the consequences of Felix's actions in canon or in a fanfiction like the World Beyond fanfiction for the Consequences fanfiction collection on Archive Of Our Own.

Number ninety-eight, Marinette's trap for Monarch failed spectacularly and Monarch escaped with Ladybug's Lucky Charm before she could use it to heal him of his Cataclysm-induced scarring.

Number ninety-nine, the fact that the heroes of the first 2 Miraculous World Special episodes only appeared in the Jubilation episode specifically in a harsh dream world thanks to Darker Owl.

Number one hundred, both Ladybug and Cat Noir didn't know until The Last Day Part 1 and Part 2 that Monarch destroyed the Miraculouses he stole except for the Butterfly Miraculous and rebuilt them into the Alliance Rings.

Number one hundred and one, the love square was reversed, and that turned out to be one of the worst nightmares of people with the same views of the show as myself.

Number one hundred and two, Adrien got his Kwagatama too late in the Reunion episode.

Number one hundred and three, Marinette was the only one who got to interact with one of her predecessors both in Ephemeral and in Reunion, the first and only one being Jeanne d'Arc aka Scarlet Fate.

Number one hundred and four, even after learning about Monarch's victory in Shadow Moth's Final Attack Part 2, Chloe Bourgeois still sided with the butterfly terrorist instead of taking a stand against him and his other allies.

Number one hundred and five, Grandmaster Su-Han took too long to get to Paris and as shown in the episodes before The Last Day, he also took too long to acquire reinforcements from the Guardians to deal with Monarch.

Number one hundred and six, Amelie Graham de Vanily never found out the truth about her sister, about Gabriel, and about her son until it was literally too late to take back anything she ever did, including lying to the Heroes of Paris and the London Metropolitan Police Service about where Felix was when he returned in the aftermath of his betrayal.

Number one hundred and seven, Socqueline Wang put herself in danger without even knowing about it.

Number one hundred and eight, Monarch destroyed the Bee, Turtle, Fox, Dragon, Snake, Rooster, Mouse, Ox, Pig, Dog, Monkey, Goat, Tiger, and Horse Miraculouses to reforge them into Tomoe Tsurugi's Alliance Rings.

Number one hundred and nine, Monarch's sanity allowed him to escape Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous-reclaiming trap by using Cat Noir's Cataclysm on his arm while also stealing Ladybug's Lucky Charm, unknowingly dooming himself to die of disintegration in The Last Day before he could get healed or imprisoned.

Number one hundred and ten, Nino's wild scheme failed due to three factors: 1, Lila Rossi. 2, Gabriel Agreste's identity at the time was unknown. And 3, Nino was a total idiot.

Number one hundred and eleven, the majority of the heroes from the first 2 Miraculous World Special episodes only showed up via an interconnected two-part dream because of Darker Owl using the Pig Miraculous' Gift superpower on Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Number one hundred and twelve, Ladybug and Cat Noir didn't discover their identities in the Jubilation episode before and after the love square was reversed. Thanks a lot, Thomas Ass-truck.

Number one hundred and thirteen, Gabriel choosing not to listen to reason when Nathalie tells him in Passion to give up.

Number one hundred and fourteen, Andre got Akumatized into Glaciator for the 6th time, this time was just because he was blinded by his views on romantical love being born by his fattening, sugary ice cream, and sadly, he doesn't realize the consequences of his actions in Elation/Exaltation, as explained by the Miraculous Ladybug Wikipedia page on the episode's trivia.

Number one hundred and fifteen, Argos revealed his identity to the entirety of the world and yet even the London Metropolitan Police Service possibly didn't arrest him and his mother as her actions in Multiplication made Felix's actions in Emotion possible.

Number one hundred and sixteen, Gabriel became even more of a control freak by ordering Adrien to not tell Marinette about the Diamonds' Dance ball, not to speak about her, and not to mention her name while the ball is on.

Number one hundred and seventeen, Kagami easily fell for Lila's lies not only despite the fact that she knows Lila's a big liar, but also because of the fact that Marinette has been avoiding Lila for a lot of unknown time.

Number one hundred and eighteen, Kagami was Akumatized into some kind of cloud goddess with the power of the Dragon Miraculous. Extremely cadswallop!

Number one hundred and nineteen, Lila somehow knows Monarch's true identity and yet none of the episodes showed how Lila found out.

Number one hundred and twenty, Tomoe Tsurugi somehow knew about Monarch's identity before his reign of terror began, and she allowed Gabriel to Akumatize Kagami except for in the Perfection episode.

Number one hundred and twenty-one, Felix wants to use the Ultimate Miraculous Absolute Power to grant his wish of having a perfected, flawless world where everyone is not oppressed or persecuted by anyone in any government whatsoever while being free to be and/or to do whatever it is that they want to do. (Felix doesn't realize that whether communists or democrats, even the governments exist for multiple reasons that involve keeping country and city people in check because too much freedom is not a good thing no matter how much freedom is the right of all sentient beings.)

Number one hundred and twenty-two, Lila as Hoaxer/Volpina 2.0. made everyone think that Marinette was Monarch, thusly putting her in extreme danger of being sent to prison and/or executed in Gabriel's place.

Number one hundred and twenty-three, Adrien FINALLY realizing in the Revelation episode that Chloe and Lila are long past redemption, but it was already too f****** late to do anything about it!

Anyway, number one hundred and twenty-four, the Revelation episode never revealed anything else in terms of what people would've been expecting when a cartoon has an episode titled Revelation. You know, in terms of specifically Marinette and Adrien finding out each other's identities at long last, but without anything like the Cat Blanc, Lady Blanc, Lady Misfortune, Ephemeral, Black Widow, or Megabug timelines happening again, and in terms of Marinette and Adrien finally finding out Monarch's identity without any of the aforementioned apocalyptic timelines actually happening again.

Number one hundred and twenty-five, Felix was presumably kept out of prison for his actions in the Strikeback and Emotion episodes by his mother, signifying that Amelie Graham de Vanily will go to extremes to keep her son satisfied and happy, even aiding and abetting.

Number one hundred and twenty-six, Gabriel betrayed Lila by making Kagami the new face of the Gabriel Agreste fashion brand, thereby provoking Hoaxer into stealing Gabriel's secrets and planning to steal the Butterfly Miraculous at some point in the future, thereby confirming in a foreshadow that she will indeed become the new Hawk Moth in the future.

And, of course, number one hundred and twenty-seven, as previously mentioned above in my metaphorical list, the devil spawn b**** Lila Rossi literally became Gabriel Agreste's unofficial successor as Hawk Moth in the future of the series without her crimes being exposed BY ANYONE WHATSOEVER. Lila literally became Hawk Moth Number Two in the show's future, and as a result, nobody is ever going to be able to fully trust any heroic user of the Butterfly/Moth Miraculous. And because of Lila's antics, Paris will have to continue holding in their negative emotions since Lila is twice to ten times eviller and more sinister than Gabriel, Nathalie, Felix Graham de Vanily after Shadow Moth's Final Attack, and Chloe after the Battle of the Miraculouses.

That's just about only 127 of the problems I have with the show.

So, in order to vent to myself without destroying anything in my residence, I write my own fanfiction stories detailing what I believe should've happened in the cartoon. Just like almost every other fanfiction writer on this Earth and in this very dimension. I occasionally get very bad reviews, and because I'm vindictive enough to not listen to what people have to say about my stories if they don't like them, I delete those reviews.

So, that night, my siblings were sleeping while I was rewatching the ending of the finale of Miraculous Ladybug. As I was about to finish rewatching the final episode of the show featuring the children of the previous present day Miraculous heroes taking up some of their parents' previous and current mantles and the heroes making a vow to protect the future generations of humankind from many villains to replace Hawk Moth, Mayura, Volpina/Chameleon/Hawk Moth II, Felix Graham de Vanily Fathom, Chloe Bourgeois, Cash, Techno-Pirate and Ignoblia among others, I made a wish. I wished for the opportunity to help Ladybug and Cat Noir in any way I can, with my combat training in my childhood and my teenage years spanning nearly past fifteen to forty-five years of practice in hand-to-combat in the event of being cornered by either version of Hawk Moth with my pants down, along with my foreknowledge being one hundred percent untraceable, irrefutable, irreversible, tamperproof and unable to be abused by anyone.

After making my wish, I finished rewatching the Miraculous Ladybug series finale with a quiet victory dance while playing the JW Superman theme. After I changed the channel to the News 12 weather and news channel and turned off the TV to save power and be ready for the morning news, I brushed my teeth, took my nighty-night medicine to help me sleep, and went to bed.

But little did I know, as I was drifting off to sleep, I was being transported to the world of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, all thanks to the current and soon-to-be former Great Guardian of the Chinese Zodiac Miracle Box waiting to grant me my wish.

So, basically, what I was about to find out was that this was the beginning of a special legend in the Quantic Universe... the legend of Steel Butterfly.

(Unknown Miraculous Ladybug Earth, January fifteenth, 2000, Miguel's POV...)

I awoke to the smell of tea being made and the UV rays of the sun beaming into my closed eyes.

I blocked the sun from my eyes with my hands as I tried to completely wake myself up.

However, when I awoke fully, I was in for a shock.

I found myself in Master Fu's massage parlor!

And that can only mean one thing: I was somehow transported into the fictional world of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir!

And if that sign wasn't obvious enough, I was shocked to see that my entire person was completely computer animated to the standards of Adobe Animate CC!

Don't get me wrong, I always firmly believed that the multiverse would've had specific universes where some fictional stories in the forms of comic books, cartoons, movies, video games and non-sentient toys took place in real life. But I didn't think that it was all too true until now. And I got the whole world of fanfiction in my universe to thank and blame for that.

Just then, I saw Master Fu and Wayzz approach me. Master Fu asks me, "Are you alright, Mr. Guevara?"

I wordlessly nodded, as words failed me.

Master Fu continues, "Why don't I explain everything with some tea and a light, healthy breakfast? It'll help to clear your mind."

Soon enough, Master Fu and I had a light, healthy breakfast consisting of oatmeal with blueberries, apple slices, orange slices, and Honey Oat Cereal with bananas. Granted, I hated cereal before I came to this dimension, but apparently my palettes adjusted well to the smell, texture, and taste of cereal all too easily without me having to get my palettes used to the taste of cereal myself. After we had some water to hydrate ourselves, we drank the tea that Master Fu served us. And surprisingly, it tasted good.

Once we finished, I finally started to form words as I asked, "Master Fu, that was a nice breakfast and all, but if you don't mind me asking, what exactly am I doing here in your dimension?"

Master Fu answered, "There are two reasons as to why you are in my dimensional space. One, I overheard your wish and wanted to grant you your wish. And two, because the Rabbit Kwami, Fluff, informed me of what will happen in the foreseeable future, starting in September of 2014. This Hawk Moth character is trying to steal the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses. For whatever wish he intends to make when he combines them, I know not. Now, tell me, who is Hawk Moth?"

I replied matter-of-factly, "You know how I have foreknowledge of events in the future? Well, I'm afraid that I'll be telling you specific events of the future only when they come around. If I were to so much as tell you anything about the future before those events' first stages come around, things might spiral out of control. Take Hawk Moth's identity, for instance. If I told you his identity here and now, if you were to retrieve the Butterfly Miraculous, the Peacock Miraculous, and the grimoire from Hawk Moth this early, there's a good chance that he'll try to track you down and potentially steal the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses from the Miracle Box while your guard is down. Presumably if you were asleep. On top of that, any small alterations to this point of the past without careful planning and precise precautions will result in a disastrous disruption of the space-time continuum, prompting interference from a guardian of time and space. And besides that, if we apprehend Hawk Moth and his allies before they commit any of their minor or serious crimes in the future, the charges won't stick when we use just our word, and if we use any form of recorded evidence, by the time Hawk Moth and his allies get exonerated from serving time in prison, they could potentially commit their crimes while using different identities and different missing or stolen Miraculouses to avoid getting sent to prison successfully the second time around. And we wouldn't want any of that to happen, now, do we?"

Master Fu remarks, "You make a lot of interesting logical points. Alas, I'm granting you an opportunity to become the hero you always wanted to be."

Once I realized what Master Fu meant, I protested, "No offense, Master Fu, but when I said that I always wanted to be a hero, I didn't mean by using magic jewelry. Besides, whenever someone uses magic jewelry even once, they run the risk of getting demonically possessed. And any human being using magic in any way, shape or form will most certainly be condemned and tossed into the Lake of Fire after Judgment Day. After all, as my parents told me when they were educating me about the Bible, they got to the part where Jesus Himself said that among the types and categories of evil people that will be utterly and permanently obliterated includes any type of magic practitioner; in other words, anyone who so much as uses even magic jewelry."

Master Fu states in response, "I understand how you feel about magic jewelry because of your religious upbringing, but trust me; the Miraculous I will give to you will protect you from even demons, in addition to protecting you from the power of the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses. And if God Himself disapproves of you using a magic jewel no matter the dimensional realm, I'll take the fall for you and every Miraculous champion of the past, present and future on Judgment Day with dignity and humble feelings, as I was brought into the job of protecting the Miraculouses by the Order Of The Guardians against my free will. And you already know this because of your foreknowledge, correct?"

I nodded, as I was unable to argue with that.

Standing up, Master Fu went over to the phonograph, put in the secret code, opened the phonograph and took out a peculiar-looking Miraculous jewel that wasn't supposed to be part of the initial lineup of the Miraculouses in the Chinese Zodiac Miracle Box if it wasn't for his mistake in 1844 and if it wasn't for the fact that no other Miraculouses were invented through either using the Peacock Miraculous or by simply having more kwamis automatically become created when new concepts become introduced to the universe, such as, oh, I don't know, hope.

It looked like a combination of the current Butterfly Miraculous and the and at least 2 different depictions of the Butterfly Miraculous from 2 different Miraculous Ladybug fanfictions that feature a different kind of Butterfly Miraculous, one involves having the ability to paralyze any enemy target with an arrow along with a butterfly version of the Miraculous Ladybug, and the other involves having some kind of special superpower that I can't remember off the top of my head. Sue me for all I care; it's been years since I last read a fanfiction story about that Butterfly Miraculous.

To put it in semi-short details of what it looks like, this Butterfly Miraculous looks like a red and purple circle/oval-shaped silver-rimmed stone with purple diamonds and white-gold spots on the wings. The wings look like a combination of the flower petal stylized wings of the original Butterfly Miraculous and the wings of an actual butterfly. It also had the body of a butterfly, with the large stone in the middle of the body. It also had the colors of the various iterations of the Butterfly Miraculous to boot.

I asked in awe and confusion, "Is that... the Butterfly Miraculous?"

Master Fu answers, "Yes, it is. It is the real Butterfly Miraculous. The Order of the Guardians invented it as a failsafe against the original Butterfly Miraculous in case anything happened to it. And it happens to be more powerful than the one currently in hiding. Here's how that is. It not only grants you the same powers and abilities of the original Butterfly Miraculous along with the Peacock Miraculous, including whether or not they're used conjointly or they're given additional power from an external source, but it also grants you the power of divine resurrection. Meaning that you're able to use divine magic to revive anyone accidentally or purposefully murdered while healing them of any fatal injuries or anyone who died of any illness while curing them of their afflictions. I would've said transformation, but that lies in the special superpower of the original Butterfly Miraculous. But admittedly, the transformation aspect and superpower of your new Miraculous lies in your new ability to give yourself any transformation you want for battle, for stealth missions, for search and rescue missions, or for anything in between, as a form of shapeshifting. At the same time, you can also grant other people and any object their own transformations if you ever need to build an army or an expansive city-wide network of surveillance among other things. But the transformations will be under your own control, especially in terms of whatever appearance you happen to have in mind. The resurrection part of your superpowers also grants you the ability to revive yourself from the dead in the divine sense immediately after you die. But the cream of the crop as you people say it in the modern age is that this Butterfly Miraculous grants you the power of numerical unity, meaning that you have the powers and abilities of pretty much every superhero and supervillain in existence, both in real life and in fiction. Um, with the exceptions of the powers from godlike beings so as to prevent you from becoming overly powerful or becoming mad with power."

In particular, I was fascinated, simply because as far as the both of us knew, there was absolutely no Miraculous jewel that can grant its user nearly godlike power by itself without having to be merged with the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses, while also not giving the Miraculous user in question every superpower of all forms of godlike beings like God, Knull, Doctor Doom, Superman, Doctor Manhattan, Jean Grey, Galactus, Spawn, Shazam, Kyle Renner, Daniel Hall, Franklin Richards, Elaine Belloc, Trigon the Terrible, Doomsday, Darkseid, while not giving the Miraculous user the powers of the most powerful heroes and villains in history, and so forth.

Master Fu finishes with this closing question, "Lastly, since you're the first of my Miraculous champions, I'm placing you in charge of a special team of Miraculous heroes from other dimensions similar to yours. I'm also placing you in charge of the heroes soon to come after the future holders of the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses, Ladybug and Cat Noir, come into the picture. I'm hoping that you will all succeed in your special mission. Will you help me?"

I thought this over, and though my family will most surely disapprove, I have no other choice since I'm otherwise stuck in this very fictional dimension. And I did say I wanted to help my two favorite heroes in any way that I can.

So I accepted the offer.

Once I clipped the brooch to my shirt, a purple and red globe of light emerged and faded to reveal a butterfly kwami.

This butterfly kwami looked a lot like a combination of Tikki and Nooroo.

The butterfly kwami said to me, "Oh, hello there, young man. I'm Leppey, the butterfly kwami of numerical unity, the most powerful kwami in existence, fifth only to the snake kwami Sass, the rabbit kwami Fluff, the ladybug kwami Tikki, and the black cat kwami Plagg. And you are?"

I then stated in response, "Nice to meet you, Leppey. I'm Miguel Guevara, your new owner. And for the record, I'm already familiar with everything about this universe, including the powers and time limits of the Miraculouses if the holders have yet to become adults."

Master Fu smiled and Wayzz stated, "How remarkable. A new champion who already knows what he's dealing with."

Leppey beamed as he said, "In that case, I'll cut to the chase. To transform, all you need to do is say, 'Leppey, Elegant Wings Live.' To detransform, just say, 'Leppey, Elegant Wings Die.' "

Standing in a "spread your wings" pose, I called out, "Leppey, Elegant Wings Live!"

Leppey was sucked into the brooch as I transformed while standing still.

However, what was most unexpected was the fact that my transformation wasn't just magic. It was also divine cosmic energy the equivalent of God's power itself.

My guess is that this real Butterfly Miraculous was forged by both a Miraculous mage and a small army of God's angelic craftsmen.

When I looked at myself in the mirror, I was amazed at what I was wearing.

I was wearing a form-fitting suit of metallic armor faintly resembling many different forms of Hawk Moth, including his Scarlet Moth and Shadow Moth forms, but without his Collector form, his Shadow Noir form, and/or his Monarch form. That is, if he ever thought of using body armor for his transformations. The rest of my armor resembled many different forms of The Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ranging from comic book iterations to concept arts to animated cartoons to even live action blockbuster movies, but without the overly buff and extremely tall stature of the Super Shredder armors, much to my relief. Such cartoon iterations of my Shredder-inspired armor happen to include elements of the armors worn by the Utrom Shredder, the Karai Shredder in the male version, the Demon Shredder, the Tengu Shredder and the Cyber Shredder. Meanwhile, my armor was also using design elements of The Shredder's mechanized armor from the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. As for my armored helmet and mask combination, it looked like a combination of Hawk Moth's chronological mask, the "later concept Hawk Moth mask" with the butterfly visor and the closed mouth, Scarlet Moth's mask, Shadow Moth's mask, and many depictions of The Shredder's helmet. Except for depictions of the Super Shredder's helmet. On top of that, my armored back also had retractable metallic butterfly wings attached to a jetpack that would help me fly in the air in case my own wings aren't powerful enough, or in case they're too weakened to help me fly in the air on my own. At the same time, my wings will also help me fly in case my jetpack is damaged, running low on fuel or completely out of fuel. To top it off, I was given a cane swordstick which was as tall as I was, and a combat hand fan covered in metal plates. As for the cane swordstick, it looks like every version of Hawk Moth's cane swordstick, even from his Scarlet Moth and Shadow Moth forms. As for the combat hand fan, it looked like a combination of Mayura's hand fan, Shadow Moth's hand fan and April O'Neil's tessan from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. In fact, because I have the powers and abilities of every single Miraculous jewel in the Chinese Zodiac Miracle Box, I was given a sword that looks like the Sword for the Dragon Miraculous in a colorful assortment of the colors the sword appears in whenever one of the elemental transformations are used. I was given a metal staff similar to a combination of the staves that Cat Noir, Cat Walker, and Cat Blanc use respectively. At the same time, I was also given an umbrella that looks just like the one used by Bunnyx, except that my umbrella is colored in the same colors as my armor. I was also given a mallet that looks like the one used by Minatourox, the tambourine used by Razor Pyg, the flute used by Rena Rouge/Rena Furtive, the spinning top used by Queen Bee and Vesperia, the shield used by both Carapace and Jade Turtle, but without the conical shape to reflect Jade's Chinese heritage, the lyre used by Viperion, the skipping rope used by Multimouse and Polymouse, the bolas used by Purple Tigress, the horseshoe used by Pegasus, the paint brush used by Caprikid, the ruyi jingu bang used by King Monkey, the fountain pen used by Coq Courage – oops, I meant Songhorn, the ball used by Traquemoiselle/Backcrosser, and even the bullroarer used by Eagle. And of course, at the same time, I used my Sublimation superpower to give myself the same amount of guns and other kinds of weapons from many heroes and villains as Jonah Hex, Silver Sable, Wild Dog, War Machine, Rocket Raccoon, Deadshot, Cable, Judge Dredd, Deadpool, The Punisher, Crossbones, Hellboy, RoboCop, Spawn, Red Hood, Arsenal, The Comedian, Agent 47, Deathstroke, Deathlok, Moon Knight, Elsa Bloodstone, Big Daddy, Hit Girl, Blade the Vampire Hunter, Ra's Al Ghul, the various counterparts of The Shredder, the Justice League, the Suicide Squad, the Avengers, and so forth. As for the colors of my armor, they were dark purple, lavender, black, burgundy red, indigo blue, pink, sea green, silver, and regular blue. Lastly, my wings and my jetpack were purple and red. In fact, I could've sworn that the jetpack and wings were designed in a similar style to many versions of The Vulture and The Falcon from Marvel Comics. But then again, all of that was what I wanted deep down. Because, as it just so happens, I'm literally obsessed with seeing my favorite superheroes wearing metal suits of armor, along with jetpacks that have either retractable wings or non-retractable wings. And as a matter of fact, my wings not only looked like butterfly wings, but they also looked like falcon wings and vulture wings. And the entire ensemble resembled many different iterations of the winged jetpacks used by The Vulture and by The Falcon, both as himself and as a flight-capable iteration of Captain America.

As I was admiring my appearance, Master Fu asked me, "Well, what do you think?"

I replied, "I look stunning! I can't believe that this was what I always wanted deep down! So, from now on, all sorts of magical terrorists and mass murderers will learn to cower in fear by the very mention of my name... Steel Butterfly."

Stroking his beard, Master Fu remarked, "Steel Butterfly... a wonderful superhero name. A wonderful name for a superhero, indeed."

After twelve days in frozen time, in a place and time similar to Heaven where we're outside of linear space and time itself, I was taught about everything I needed to know about how to use all of my powers. In particular, I was taught how to use my Tenshi butterflies to change the negative emotions of an Akumatized supervillain into positive emotions, effectively "reprogramming" them into superheroes. In the process, my Tenshi merges with the Akumatized object, only to drive out Hawk Moth's Akuma and reprogram it into another Tenshi, waiting for my direct order to Tenshize someone else to help my primary champion.

At the same time, I also used my foreknowledge to self-teach myself in Mirakung Fu, a martial arts style introduced in season 4 of Miraculous Ladybug, said to be created by and devised by the Order Of The Guardians to take down rogue Miraculous users, even the ones as skilled in martial arts equivalent to Hawk Moth and Mayura. Also at the same time, I had Master Fu help me combine several different current fighting moves with Mirakung-Fu to create a martial arts style capable of subduing rogue Akumatized supervillains and rogue Tenshized superheroes. It wasn't easy, but we managed to pull it off. Heck, I even used my powers to observe different points of time in the past to teach myself every combat move, technique and maneuver that would be needed to take down Hawk Moth, Mayura and any other Miraculous wielder villains of the future that arise to take their places. At the same time, I also taught myself how to counter Mirakung Fu, just in case Su-Han tries to take the Butterfly Miraculous in the event he arrives in Paris during the time period taking place after Marinette has become the new Guardian of the Chinese Zodiac Miracle Box. As I was teaching myself how to fight, how to combine martial arts with street fighting, boxing, wrestling and many other forms of combat, as well as how to copy my opponent's moves and warp their combat experiences against them even without being seen, something truly unexpected happened. I accidentally used one of my Tenshies to de-age Master Fu's appearance and physical body by one hundred and fifty years, making his body and overall appearance look and feel like he's thirty-six years old again. Figuratively and literally.

Master Fu knew I didn't mean to, but it brought to us the benefit of me teaching Master Fu Mirakung Fu, as well as how to translate more Guardian symbols from the grimoires, thanks to the Butterfly Miraculous also granting me the powers of wisdom, knowledge, and the ability to flawlessly speak and translate any of the world's languages, as well as languages invented by the Order Of The Guardians.

All the while, we managed to have three consecutive headquarters built in three locations: one underneath the library of Francoise Dupont High School, one underneath the massage parlor, and one in the basements of the Dupain-Cheng bakery and the adjoining buildings after giving the two residents of the bakery our consent and after telling them everything. I said two residents because our main protagonist isn't gonna be born for another year and because her older brother was not old enough to understand everything just yet.

And that shocked me as Marinette Dupain-Cheng didn't have any siblings or cousins in the original cartoon whatsoever, and fanfictions don't count.

Of course, another benefit of the power of the Butterfly Miraculous is that it provides me the ability to transfer memories of my foreknowledge to chosen subjects without anything happening to my own memory whatsoever.

Because of this, I transferred copies of my foreknowledge of this dimension to only two chosen subjects: Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng.

To say the least, they were partially unhappy that Marinette was chosen to wield the Ladybug Miraculous as a first-time child soldier of magical origin without any form of training in the world of magic or any combat training whatsoever.

But more on that another time.

I don't really know if Tom and Sabine will try to prevent Marinette from becoming Ladybug or not, but what I do know is that Marinette and Adrien becoming Ladybug and Cat Noir is a fixed point in time throughout the Quantic Multiverse, alternate universe-style fanfictions excluded.

And with the ability to communicate with my kwami while I'm transformed, I was able to successfully learn how to fly, even and preferably without being seen.

After a few months of trial and error, I was able to reach the levels of combat experience of The Kingpin, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Shang-Chi, Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Superman, General Zod, Supergirl,

I was able to learn all of their fighting styles with ease and practice, most especially thanks to my various DVDs of movies and cartoons featuring extensive fight scenes between heroes and villains alike. Along with the various video games to boot.

At the same time, I also managed to gain the battle experiences of the various soldiers and famous combat instructors of the past and the future to boot. Whether they're fictional or not makes no difference to me, as I already got what I wanted.

Of course, I'm absolutely sure that Su-Han might try to take me down when we first meet in about seventeen years from now, but with my new ability to predict my opponent's next moves and my new ability to copy my opponent's moves by watching them fight just like Taskmaster and Wayhem as Party Crasher, let's just say Su-Han is gonna have a field day trying to subdue me. That is, if he can, because with or without Master Fu's assistance and guidance, I'm not going down without a fight. But even still, I'm not exactly one hundred percent invincible to the likes of God's angels should I turn rogue. But thankfully enough, God knows what He's doing and I know what I'm doing.

Oh, and speaking of my DVDs and video games, did I mention that I can also make things appear from my dimension by just thinking aloud? And did I mention that every time I talk, I sound like a combination of the Johnny Blaze iteration of the Ghost Rider from the first Ghost Rider movie and the Danny Ketch iteration of the Ghost Rider from the Fantastic Four and Incredible Hulk animated cartoons? Honestly, that combined with my newly discovered voice modulator programmed to make my voice sound like the first and second versions of the Ghost Rider was a big surprise, but at least I have another scare tactic.

Anyway, all that was left was to wait for the Origins episode to roll around, as the modern saying goes.

Obviously, that shouldn't be too hard, as I'm now angelically immortal, I have an enhanced photographic memory, I have an enhanced form of superhuman intelligence, I have fourteen to fifteen years before I can introduce myself to two of my favorite heroes of all time, and I have all of the powers and abilities of every superhero and supervillain in existence without the powers of any godlike beings to make me powerful enough to take part in the wars to come, fictional or otherwise.

I happen to be as smart as Batman, Spider-Man, Daredevil, the Ghost Riders, the Punisher, Velma Dinkley from Scooby-Doo, Brainiac, Lex Luthor, Darkseid, Superman, Composite Superman, Cyborg Superman, Cyborg, Gorilla Grodd, Doctor Doom, the High Evolutionary, M.O.D.O.K, Reed Richards, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Bruce Banner, Amadeus Cho/Iron Spider, the various identities of The Flash, the various identities of Kid Flash, the various identities of the Reverse-Flash, Thanos, Thor, Megatron/Galvatron, Optimus Prime, Shockwave, Ratchet, Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, April O'Neil from TMNT 2012, Jeremy Belpois from Code: Lyoko, Mad Thinker, Doctor Emmett Brown from Back To The Future, The Doctor from Doctor Who, The Thinker, Megamind, Cornelius Robinson from Meet The Robinsons, Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hawk Moth, Mayura, Su-Han, Master Fu, Bunnyx, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Manhattan, Dr. Robotnik from Sonic The Hedgehog, Simon Seville from Alvin & The Chipmunks, Black Adam, Deathstroke, Martian Manhunter, Lobo, The Question, The Riddler, The Scarecrow, Vandal Savage, The Beast of the X-Men, Captain America, Iron Man, Kid Omega, The Leader, Sabretooth, Charles Xaiver, Magneto, Wolverine, the Green Goblin, Ultron, Sari Sumdac, Doctor Octopus, Perceptor, the War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron Jetfire, the Generation 1 Combaticons, the Fall of Cybertron Combaticons, the Generation 1 Computron, Jeanette Miller from Alvin and The Chipmunks, Iron Lantern from Amalgam Comics, Egghead, Mary Marvel, Mr. Terrific, Maximus The Mad, Valerie Richards/Brainstorm, Mr. Majestic, Miss Martian, Felonious Gru from Despicable Me, Vector Perkins, Pinhead from Hellraiser, Pennywise from It, Chloe Sullivan from Smallville, Cobra Commander, Nick Fury, The Kingpin, Cyclops from the X-Men, Agent 47, Lara Croft, Brainiac 417, Odin from Marvel Comics, The Kree Supreme Intelligence, Lunella Lafayette, Michael Myers from Halloween, Syndrome from The Incredibles, Medula from Sky High, Mr. Glass, Brainiac 5, Ozymandias from Watchmen, Spellbinder from Batman Beyond, Mephistopheles from the Ghost Rider franchise, Thomas Elliot/Hush from DC Comics, Doctor Hugo Strange, The Joker, Doctor Stephen Strange, The Mad Hatter, Rorschach from Watchmen, and every kwami in existence put together. But that doesn't necessarily make me as smart as God Himself. The highest form of super intelligence I have at my disposal comes from various smart heroes and villains – including the ones from kid shows like Scooby Doo – but those forms of super intelligence are used only separately so as to not give me a headache from having so much knowledge, to ensure that I don't end up contracting ALS like the Arrowverse iteration of The Thinker, and so as to ensure that I'm smart enough to not be apathetic along with the other disadvantages of having high levels of intelligence as a human being. And the power of the Butterfly Miraculous at my disposal doesn't necessarily make me a god. I may be powerful, but only God is the most powerful out of every force of good in both fiction and in real life.

But of course, I realized just now that the only way I can make myself as smart as the various smarty pants of comic book, cartoon, movie, and video game legend is by using one of my many Miraculous superpowers that belongs exclusively to the Rooster Miraculous: Sublimation, which basically allows me to create and bestow upon myself any form of superpower I need no matter if its temporary or permanent. It's purely a matter of wording the Sublimation superpower requests correctly.

In the process of preparing for my inevitable war against Hawk Moth, I prepared security systems for our three bases.

To put it in short details, I combined Hawk Moth's security system with those of Batman. The Utrom Shredder. The X-Men. The Avengers. Norman Osborn in the 2002 Spider-Man video game. The Justice League. Lex Luthor. Iron Heights. The Raft. The Cube. The Big House. Arkham Asylum. Azkaban Prison. Belle Reeve. Ravencroft Institution. Slabside Maximum Security Prison. Fisk Towers. Alcatraz Prison. The Cage from Marvel Comics. Crossmore Prison. The Ice Box Prison. Riker's Island Penitentiary. Seagate Prison. The Vault. Andru Correctional Facility. Blackthorne Prison. Arkham City. Blackgate Penitentiary. Fort Rozz. Gotham State Penitentiary. Stryker's Island Penitentiary. Long Bay Correctional Facility. Goulburn Correctional Centre. Barwon Prison. Stammheim Prison. Wallens Ridge State Prison. Le Santé Prison. Many other maximum-security systems from different superhero headquarters and different supervillain lairs. And many other supermax security prisons in both real life and fiction.

Granted, I might've gone way overboard, but my paranoia is especially high because of the levels of power each Akumatized villain possesses. Especially the likes of Stoneheart, since he gets bigger and stronger with each enemy attack that manages to hurt him somewhat. Along with the likes of Cat Blanc, since his Mega Cataclysm can easily destroy a slightly weaker version of my security system in no time outside of his unakumatized Cataclysm uses. That is mainly because when Cat Noir is Akumatized into Cat Blanc, he has the infinite power of destruction, meaning that he's able to use his powers an unlimited number of times despite not being an adult and he's able to increase the intensity of his Mega Cataclysm Blasts and Spheres. And on top of that, while Darkblade is a bit of a lesser Akumatized villain compared to the likes of either Volpina, Lady Misfortune, Princess Justice or even Cat Blanc, Darkblade still has the ability to create his army of knights by brainwashing people with a beam from the hilt of his sword to kneel so he can knight them, thereby turning them into armored knights. And Darkblade could easily plant his ancestor's flag on the roof of City Hall, thereby turning everyone into knights, including me and Hawk Moth if we're not careful. Ergo, if Scarlet Moth were to be held prisoner by my security systems on Heroes' Day should he try to escape through other means if Nathalie is unable to retrieve the Peacock Miraculous for any reason, he would try to order his Akumatized supervillain army to break him out. And not even a strong enough dose of anti-magic would be able to counter thousands of Akumatized villains, let alone millions of clones of certain villains that they make from normal people to become their armies, such as Darkblade.

Anyways, I also had all sorts of booby traps put in place. Such as the El Macho dance floor tile trap, laser grid traps, the booby traps of the Home Alone film series, the booby traps of the Saw horror movie franchise, the booby traps of Tomb Raider, the booby-trapped Miracle Box from a Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction I liked, booby-trapped taser doors, and so forth.

Like I said, I might be going overboard, but it will be worth it in the long run.

At the same time, I also helped to mass produce the various power up potions, including my favorite, the space potion.

As far as I remember about the space potion, the space potion grants a ground-bound Miraculous user the ability to fly at great speed and high altitudes, in addition to the ability to breathe in the void of space for long durations of time. And the space potion works even if a Miraculous user has already unlocked the ability to fly.

And as far as I remember about the Miraculous suit that comes with the space potion, the suit itself is upgraded with spacesuit-like armor plating, a jetpack with retractable wings to enable the ability to fly, not that the wings actually move, and a special retractable helmet and a face mask in front of the user's domino mask with an optional mouth guard or faceplate mask. And on top of that, the helmets all provide breathable air, but I don't remember if the breathable air is unlimited or if it isn't.

But what I brought up to Master Fu is that I really don't understand why the space potion is the only potion that grants all Miraculous users the ability to fly, including those who take on aspects of flying insects and flying animals.

When Master Fu asked me why I don't understand, this is what I said: "I just don't understand why Miraculouses that resemble flying insects and flying animals don't grant their owners the ability to fly in their normal transformations, adult power or not. Seriously, that makes no sense to me. And yet, I was the only Miraculous user – in this timeline of this universe – that has the ability to fly, with and without a fully functioning jetpack and/or a set of natural armored wings outside of my space transformations. And I feel like I'm going crazy with confusion."

Master Fu strokes his beard as he asks me, "You really love flying superheroes, don't you?"

I replied meekly, "Yes, ever since the introduction of Superman to the fictional world of live action movies in the year 1978. The actor who played Superman in the 1978-1987 film quadrilogy literally inspired many fictional cartoons, movies and video games to introduce many fictional superheroes that can fly. Whether those superheroes can fly by gravity manipulation, usage of a jetpack, usage of mechanical and/or organic wings, usage of atomic energy manipulation, usage of magical technology, usage of cosmic energy manipulation, usage of density manipulation, usage of solidified digital data, usage of ectoplasmic energy manipulation, usage of elemental energy and matter, usage of an energy aura, usage of energy mimicry, usage of energy propulsions, usage of dimensional energy, usage of a forcefield, usage of energy solidification, usage of air solidification, usage of liquid solidification, usage of gas mimicry, usage of helicopter propulsions, usage of kinetic energy, usage of lunar energy and substances, usage of force manipulation, usage of magical energy, usage of magnetism, usage of mass manipulation, usage of molecular manipulation, usage or pressure manipulation, usage of radioactive particles, usage of rainbows, usage of spatial manipulation, usage of stellar energy and substances, usage of solar energy from a sun, usage of sound manipulation, usage of telekinesis, usage of weight manipulation, usage of zero-point energy, usage of a flying broom, usage of bubbles, usage of cards, usage of a carpet, usage of a cloud, usage of ink, usage of a parasol, usage of one's momentum, usage of teleportation, usage of a flying beast mode in the case of shapeshifters or even the Transformers, usage of air manipulation, usage of weather manipulation, usage of one's arms and hands – also known as using manual flight, usage of one's hair, usage of one's ears, usage of one's shell, usage of one's tail, usage of rocket boots, usage of astral projection, usage of one's flame powers, usage of a power ring from the emotional spectrum-based Lantern Corps, usage of a pilot's license, usage of glider wings attached to a jetpack, usage of a winged jetpack with nearly unlimited fuel, usage of anti-gravitons, or even those who have jet thrusters built into their battlesuits like Iron Man makes no difference to me."

Master Fu then inquires me something I always wanted to answer, "Which Miraculouses do you see and know about that may or may not grant their owners the ability to fly in terms of the ones that resemble flying insects and flying animals? Including Miraculouses that appear in alternate timeline versions of my dimension in the form of fanfiction stories from your world."

I replied, "Well, as far as I remember off the top of my head, there are about 54 Miraculouses, minus my own, that don't grant their owners the ability to fly in their normal forms. I happen to remember them correctly and distinctly. The first is the Ladybug Miraculous. Ladybugs are known for being able to fly. And Marinette Dupain-Cheng using the Ladybug yoyo as Ladybug to swing around the city will definitely leave her arms at maximum muscle stress. The second Miraculous is the Moth Miraculous, also known as the Butterfly Miraculous, and not to be confused with the Butterfly Miraculous I possess. Butterflies and moths are also known for being able to fly, especially since they come from the same family species Lepidoptera. At the same time, even though Hawk Moth is not able to fly, some iterations of Marinette with the Moth Miraculous are able to fly due to fanfictions stories portraying her ability to fly as a reflection of her pure heart. Anyway, back on topic. The third Miraculous is the Bee Miraculous. Bees of all kinds are also known for being able to fly despite what scientists tried to disprove many years ago. Oh, and Chloe Bourgeois and her half-sister Zoe Lee are unable to fly as Queen Bee and Vesperia respectively. The fourth Miraculous is the Peacock Miraculous. Even though peacocks can only fly short distances, they're still able to fly. And thankfully enough, Mayura is also unable to fly. The fifth Miraculous is the Dragon Miraculous. Ever since their introduction in mythology, literature and films based on mythology in my world, and before they became extinct in your world, dragons became known as the ultimate apex predators that can fly. And Kagami Tsurugi is unable to fly as Ryuko outside of her wind, water and lightning transformations. The sixth Miraculous is the Thunderbird Miraculous in the Native American Miracle Box. Again, it may be mythological in my universe, but the thunderbird is also capable of flight. The seventh Miraculous is the Eagle Miraculous in the same Native American Miracle Box. Eagles are native to North America, and they're also able to fly. Jessica Keynes is unable to fly when she's Eagle, but an Akumatized Techno-Pirate with the Eagle Miraculous was perfectly able to fly during Hawk Moth's reign of terror in New York City during French American Friendship Week in the near-future. The eighth Miraculous is the Falcon Miraculous in the Native American Miracle Box. Also native to North America, falcons are also capable of flight. The ninth Miraculous is the Woodpecker Miraculous. True, I haven't seen anyone wielding the Woodpecker Miraculous after the New York Special episode I told you about two frozen days ago, but woodpeckers are also able to fly. Anyway, the tenth Miraculous is the Raven Miraculous in the same Miracle Box. Like their twins, the crows, ravens are also able to fly. The eleventh Miraculous is the Owl Miraculous. Despite being silent birds of prey of the nighttime and some species being dangerous, owls are known for being able to fly and take their prey by surprise. And when Conrad Damocles is Akumatized into Dark Owl, he has the ability to glide. Although, his enhanced jumping ability combined with his glider owl wings could be mistaken for actual flight. Anyway, the next Miraculous I remember that literally doesn't give the owner the ability to fly is the Goose Miraculous, the very last Miraculous jewel in the Native American Miracle Box. Geese are known for being dangerous if approached, and they're also known for being able to fly varying distances. The thirteenth Miraculous is the Parrot Miraculous from a fanfiction I once read. The fourteenth Miraculous is the Dragonfly Miraculous, although I'm pretty sure it would not count somewhat if it did grant its owner the ability to fly outside of the owner being an adult. The fifteenth Miraculous that would grant its owner the ability to fly is the Beetle Miraculous. Certain species of beetles are able to fly. The sixteenth Miraculous I remember is the Firefly Miraculous. All manner of fireflies are able to fly. The seventeenth Miraculous I remember is the Gryphon Miraculous. The eighteenth Miraculous I remember is the Condor Miraculous. The nineteenth Miraculous I remember from the top of my head is the Harrier Miraculous. The twentieth Miraculous I remember is the Vulture Miraculous. The twenty-first Miraculous I remember that may or may not grant their owners the ability to fly is the Sandhill Crane Miraculous. The twenty-second Miraculous I would remember from a fanfiction would be the Sparrowhawk Miraculous. The twenty-third Miraculous I remember is the Hawk Miraculous. Then there's the Caracara Miraculous, the Crow Miraculous, the Bluebird Miraculous, the Griffon Miraculous, the Dove Miraculous, the Culver Miraculous, the Blackbird Miraculous, the Peregrine Miraculous, the Canary Miraculous, the Magpie Miraculous, the Red-Tailed Hawk Miraculous, the Flamingo Miraculous, the Luna Moth Miraculous, the Rooster Miraculous, the Jackdaw Miraculous, the Swan Miraculous, the Hummingbird Miraculous, the Osprey Miraculous, the Kite Miraculous, the Secretarybird Miraculous, the Mousebird Miraculous, the Jay Miraculous, the Mockingbird Miraculous, the Sparrow Miraculous, the Phoenix Miraculous, the European Dragon Miraculous, the Andean Condor Miraculous, the Scarab Miraculous, the Hawk Owl Miraculous, the Bat Miraculous, and the Paragon Miraculous."

Master Fu strokes his beard while making a humming sound, like he was thinking about what I said.

Then, Master Fu answered my curiosity, "Well, Miguel, the reason why those Miraculouses don't usually grant their users the ability to fly in their normal transformations is because of a combination of six things: one, it is indeed an adult superpower in some cases like with the Eagle Miraculous. Two, it has to be something the Miraculous owner wants subconsciously as an adult and before reaching adulthood. This can be done by visualizing it mentally or in a sketch drawing. Three, it has to be a reflection of the Miraculous user's heroic nature, courage, strength, honor, compassionate nature, heightened sense of love, their moral honesty and purity of heart. Four, if those don't work, the Miraculous owner can fly thanks to the Akumatization and Tenshization powers of both the Moth and Butterfly Miraculouses in the wrong hands and the same Miraculouses in the right hands. Five, the ability to fly outside of one's space transformations is a superpower that must be realized and unlocked after the Miraculous user realizes that their powers are able to be increased by the Miraculous user in question, more specifically in terms of realizing their full potential. For example, if the owner of the Ladybug Miraculous were to concentrate hard enough to unlock any new powers that they wish, specifically in terms of specific situations requiring additional power, they would not only gain a new suit, but they would also gain a set of armored ladybug wings to enable flight. And six, many Miraculous wielders would also have to gain the ability to fly by usage of either your Butterfly Miraculous or by usage of the Rooster Miraculous."

To say the least, I couldn't even believe it.

And yet, I had my winged jetpack attached to my armored backplate whenever I became Steel Butterfly.

That's when I realized and said in my head, "Oh, duh! My courage, strength, honor, and purity of heart combined with my subconscious desires and my adulthood enabled the Butterfly Miraculous to grant me the ability to fly! Hmph! Imagine that!"

Master Fu chuckled at my dumbfounded expression of realization.

I then asked, "Okay, so it has to be either of those five things or a combination of all those five things to enable the users of the Ladybug, Moth, Peacock, Bee, Dragon, Thunderbird, Eagle, Falcon, Raven, Owl, Goose, Parrot, Dragonfly, Beetle, Firefly, Gryphon, Condor, Harrier, Vulture, Sandhill Crane, Sparrowhawk, Hawk, Bluebird, Crow, Caracara, Griffon, Dove, Culver, Blackbird, Peregrine, Canary, Magpie, Red-Tailed Hawk, Flamingo, Luna Moth, Rooster, Jackdaw, Swan, Hummingbird, Osprey, Kite, Secretarybird, Mousebird, Jay, Mockingbird, Sparrow, Phoenix, European Dragon, Andean Condor, the Scarab, Hawk Owl, Bat, and the Paragon Miraculouses to fly in their normal transformations?"

Master Fu added, "Along with other Miraculouses like the Fire Miraculous, the Ice Miraculous, the Alpine Chough Miraculous, the Whooper Swan Miraculous, the Crane Miraculous, the Mallard Miraculous, the Godwit Miraculous, the Stork Miraculous, the Albatross Miraculous, the Needletail Miraculous, the Swift Bird Miraculous, the Hobby Bird Miraculous, the Frigatebird Miraculous, the Merganser Miraculous, the Canvasback Miraculous, the Eider Miraculous, the Teal Bird Miraculous, the Woodswallow Bird Miraculous, Gull Miraculous, the Pelican Miraculous, the Petrel Miraculous, the Shearwater Miraculous, the Tern Miraculous, the Argentavis Miraculous, and so forth. But that is only for heroic users who choose to bury the past and move on to the present day and the future. If Hawk Moth chooses not to let go of his negative emotions and if he chooses not to let go of his past, along with overall being a supervillain, he will never unlock any additional superpowers at will. The same applies to every Miraculous jewel in the hands of a supervillain. Should they choose to become villains, should they choose not to let go of the past and their negativities, they won't unlock any additional powers. Period."

I pondered this for almost half a minute before asking, "Master Fu, if you were to choose a worthy candidate for the Rabbit Miraculous to become a guardian of time and space like Vector Prime from Transformers Cybertron and the entire Transformers franchise, who would you have in mind?"

Master Fu replies, "I will be honest with you, Steel Butterfly. I don't think anyone should use the Rabbit Miraculous whatsoever in the event of being Akumatized by Hawk Moth. Time travel is extremely dangerous to be abused by anyone, especially the likes of Hawk Moth, Mephistopheles, and any powerful villain who happens to be the ultimate incarnation of evil."

I retorted, "Well, that didn't necessarily stop your successor from choosing a schoolmate to be the user of the Rabbit Miraculous in the future. But I'll tell you all the details when the time is right."

Master Fu replies, "Very well. Now, it is time for you to take in the sight of Paris so you can become familiar with your new surroundings when the time is right."

I nodded as I headed to the roof to see it was now nighttime.

As I transformed, I took a flying leap before my wings started flapping and my jetpack helped me sustain my flight pattern as I stretched my arms in front of me, Superman-style.

I then realized that should the New York and Shanghai specials come around, and Ladybug and Cat Noir use their own space powers alongside me, I'm gonna stand out as the only one who uses my jetpack, my thoughts, my wings, and my arms to steer myself and adjust my altitude.

Pushing the thought aside for the time being, I eventually landed on the top of the Eiffel Tower.

It was indeed a sight from below the tower.

I soon deployed several robotic butterflies to act as surveillance drones to alert me if anyone comes up here and discovers me before I can make my debut much later on.

Thankfully, the search results came up negative, but I can only be so careful for so long.

As I stared off at the city below the Eiffel Tower, I started to wonder and hope if I'm making the right choice in accepting Master Fu's call of destiny and his offer.

I prayed to God to guide me all the days of my new life before and after Master Fu's sacrifice. I prayed that I would be absolved despite breaking his law about using magic jewelry without any protections from demons previously set up.

After another hour without being interrupted, I patrolled the entire city so I can become more familiar with my new surroundings, interdimensional or otherwise.

Once I got to the skies of Paris, I looked at a camera filming me.

Apparently, the people responsible for the cartoon started filming me due to the undetected ripple effect caused by my arrival. That, or it could be that among my many superpowers is the ability to break the fourth wall.

I said to the camera, "Prepare yourselves for the greatest adventures soon to come, ladies and gentlemen of the real world. For when Ladybug and Cat Noir arise to challenge Hawk Moth in the next fourteen years to come, the greatest legend that will come second to that of Christ will soon wipe the Earth clean of filth like Hawk Moth, Mayura, Lila Rossi, Chloe Bourgeois, Felix Graham de Vanily and so forth. This legend is so legendary that many villains will tremble in fear at the very slightest mention of my superhero name. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the legend of Steel Butterfly."

I took flight into the skies as the 1970s Superman March theme song starts playing on my drone's radio.

As I continued flying while making sure no one was watching me, I began to hum along to the Superman theme.

And of course, because of my years of practice, I was able to hum the Superman theme without messing up whatsoever.

As I entered space, my space transformation activated all by itself, apparently because of a force of will without requiring either Leppey or myself to ingest the space potion.

As I continued flying, I eventually smiled for the camera as I flew above it.

When I returned to Earth, I became inspired by Rorschach's journal from the Watchmen franchise to the point where I decided to write my own journal entries for my adventures here in the Quantic Universe.

Here I go.

(Steel Butterfly's voiceover POV as he writes in his first ever Rorschach-inspired journal for the very first time...)

Steel Butterfly's journal.

January 15th, 2000.

First ever journal entry today.

Yes, you readers read that right; this is my first journal entry. This is the first time that I ever wrote about my life experiences in a journal with infinite pages that I invented myself thanks to my innumerable powers.

It's kind of like John the Baptist from the Bible chronicling events of the future after his divine resurrection, but also it's entirely different as I not only write about my life right now, but I also write down things that can happen in the future, depending on whether I'm focusing on the future of the Miraculous Ladybug cartoon in this time stream, or if I'm focusing on the future of humanity from both a scientific perspective and a spiritual perspective all at once.

Anyway, this journal and its various copies are all inspired by Rorschach's journal in the Watchmen franchise, specifically the journal of the original Rorschach, Walter Joseph Kovacs.

I can't believe that I'm actually a part of the cartoon, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, starting today.

I always wanted to be a part of this show, but not as a Miraculous superhero.

I come from a religious family, for crying out loud.

But nevertheless, I have the powers I need to wage my war on Hawk Moth, Mayura, Lila Rossi, Cash, Techno-Pirate, Feast, Ignoblia, Bob Roth, XY, Felix Fathom, and many other humanoid antagonists of Miraculous Ladybug. Not including Sentimonsters since their Amoks can easily be purified, and excluding Akumatized villains since they were Akumatized by Hawk Moth against their will.

Of course, I think that my lectures to Master Fu about how dangerous and damning it is for human beings to use any form of magic under any circumstances is starting to plant the seeds of Master Fu finding Jesus before he can die of old age despite the fact that the Order of the Guardians have longer life spans than average modern human beings by magical forces.

Must remember to investigate further.

At any rate, I've been spending thirty thousand years time traveling from the past to the present day to train myself and perfect my powers to be used at half of full power.

I'm also training myself in every form of martial arts in existence, both fictional and real. And that especially includes Mirakung-Fu that debuted in season 4 of Miraculous Ladybug as well as all forms of martial arts in Transformers, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.

And of course, I was given the real Butterfly Miraculous, and it was significantly more powerful than the original Butterfly Miraculous-slash-Moth Miraculous.

I think that after the Origins episodes, nobody ever called Nooroo's Miraculous the Moth Miraculous anymore; instead, they called it the Butterfly Miraculous.

With the current Butterfly Miraculous in my possession, I have not only the powers, abilities and gadgets of every single Miraculous jewel in existence from season 1 to season 12, but also the powers, abilities and gadgets of the many superheroes and supervillains in fictional history. Including the Ghost Riders, Doctor Strange, Black Cat, Superman, Shazam, Blackheart, the Ray Carrigan iteration of Blackout, Michael the archangel, Angel, Martian Manhunter, Thor, Juggernaut, Magneto, Wolverine, Deadpool, The Mask, Doctor Octopus, Doctor Doom, Doctor Manhattan, Royal Pain, Max Thunderman, Phoebe Thunderman, Dark Mayhem, various other characters in The Thundermans, Black Bolt, the original Greek Medusa, Santa Claus, The Thinker, The Flash, Killer Frost, Doomsday, Green Lantern, The Reverse Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Ocean Master, Black Manta, Electro, Cole MacGrath, Lucy Kuo, Kessler, The Beast, Nix, Delsin Rowe, David Warner, Hank Daughtry, Brooke Augustine, Fetch Walker, Eugene Sims, Celia Penderghast, the Ice Conduits, Marvin Marvin, Circe, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, the Green Goblin, Kraven the Hunter, Venom, Carnage, Anti-Venom, Mr. Negative, Mr. Sinister, Vertigo, Domino, Psylocke, Cable, Grandmaster Su-Han, the Human Torch, Iceman, Rogue, Pyro, Storm, Nightcrawler, Mystique, Jean Grey, Charles Xaiver, Screwball, Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hawk Moth, Rena Rouge, Queen Bee, Carapace, Bunnyx, Ryuko, Viperion, King Monkey, Pegasus, Rooster Bold, Miss Hound, Minatourox, Pigella, Polymouse, Mayura, The Scorpion, Mesmero, Sabretooth, Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Ajax, Firefist, Shang-Chi, Daredevil, Black Lightning, Bluebird, Thunder, Lightning, Ant-Man, The Wasp, Yellowjacket, Nova, Firestorm, John Constantine, Raven, Trigon the Terrible, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Red Tornado, Iron Fist, The Atom, Doctor Fate, Blue Beetle, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Booster Gold, Moon Knight, The Spectre, Captain Atom, Vision, Blade The Vampire Hunter, Static, Gambit, Eric Draven, Ashe Corven, Alexander Corvis, James Cuervo, Hannah Foster, Hellboy, the Silver Surfer, Spawn, Emma Frost, Hector Hammond, Loki, Havok, Banshee, Silver Banshee, Livewire, The Sandman, Ra's Al Ghul, Poison Ivy, Floronic Man, Swamp Thing, The Mandarin, Deadshot, Darkseid, General Zod, Apocalypse, Deathstroke, Brainiac, Bizarro Superman, The Kingpin, The Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, Jubilee, Taskmaster, Kitty Pryde, Zatanna Zatara, Jonah Hex, The Lone Ranger, Lex Luthor, Jessica Jones, Black Canary, The Purple Man, Gorilla Grodd, Amora The Enchantress, Reign, Hela, Lord Drakkon, Batman, Titanium Man, The Beetle, Dreamer, Sharkboy, Lavagirl, Daydreamer, Angel Salvadore, Adam Warlock, Agatha Harkness, Arclight, Changeling, Dagger, Cloak, Elektra Natchios, Firebird, Graviton, Gressill, Hydro-Man, Magik, Iron Monger, Iron Patriot, John Wraith, Madam Web, The Living Laser, The Living Mummy, Mockingbird, Molten Man, Morlun, Multiple Man, Onslaught, Star-Lord, Silver Sable, Silver Samurai, Sunspot, Thunderbird, Toxin, Ultron, Wonder Man, Whirlwind, Zzzax, Robin, Red Hood, Red Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman (Selina Kyle,) Catwoman (Patience Philips,) Morbius The Living Vampire, The Hobgoblin, The Demogoblin, Mysterio, The Rhino, The Chameleon, The Punisher, Stick, Dragon Man, The Wizard from The Frightful Four, Nightmare, Dormammu, Mephistopheles, Mantis, Drax The Destroyer, The Ray, Captain Cold, Mr. Freeze, Heat Wave, Smallville's Bizarro Clark, the Meteor Freaks of Smallville, the various Akumatized supervillains of Miraculous Ladybug, the various humanoid Sentimonsters of Miraculous Ladybug, and various other superheroes and supervillains in existence, just to name a few examples.

And at the same time, I acquisitioned various riches and resources like Ra's Al Ghul to not only set up my bases in Paris, New York, and Shanghai, but also to make everything I could possibly need.

And they include, among other things, a Food-A-Thinker machine to help me summon food from a medium without needing microwave radiation like the FLDSMDFR from Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. The various security systems and booby traps from different films, cartoons, and video games. Various pieces of kitchen equipment. And even an indestructible vault to store the Miracle Box in case Hawk Moth manages to find Master Fu in the event Hawk Moth manages to escape imprisonment on Heroes' Day even without Mayura using the Peacock Miraculous to save her boss.

But in any case, I have now become Steel Butterfly.

And the fact that I memorized my Steel Butterfly armor in a sketch drawing was truly an amazing feat.

The sketch drawing of my first ever Steel Butterfly armored suit I was making at the time of this journal entry is finished at last.

My armored suit is a form-fitting suit of metallic armor faintly resembling many different forms of Hawk Moth, including his Scarlet Moth and Shadow Moth forms, but without his Collector form, his Shadow Noir form, and/or his Monarch form. That is, if he ever thought of using body armor for his transformations. The rest of my armor resembled many different forms of The Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ranging from comic book iterations to concept arts to animated cartoons to even live action blockbuster movies, but without the overly buff and extremely tall stature of the Super Shredder armors, much to my relief. Such cartoon iterations of my Shredder-inspired armor happen to include elements of the armors worn by the Utrom Shredder, the Karai Shredder in the male version, the Demon Shredder, the Tengu Shredder and the Cyber Shredder. Meanwhile, my armor was also using design elements of The Shredder's mechanized armor from the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. As for my armored helmet and mask combination, it looked like a combination of Hawk Moth's chronological mask, the "later concept Hawk Moth mask" with the butterfly visor and the closed mouth, Scarlet Moth's mask, Shadow Moth's mask, and many depictions of The Shredder's helmet. Except for depictions of the Super Shredder's helmet. On top of that, my armored back also had retractable metallic butterfly wings attached to a jetpack that would help me fly in the air in case my own wings aren't powerful enough, or in case they're too weakened to help me fly in the air on my own. At the same time, my wings will also help me fly in case my jetpack is damaged, running low on fuel or completely out of fuel with no way possible to refill it. To top it off, I was given a cane swordstick which was as tall as I was, and a combat hand fan covered in metal plates. As for the cane swordstick, it looks like every version of Hawk Moth's cane swordstick, even from his Scarlet Moth and Shadow Moth forms. As for the combat hand fan, it looked like a combination of Mayura's hand fan, Shadow Moth's hand fan and April O'Neil's tessan from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. In fact, because I have the powers and abilities of every single Miraculous jewel in the Chinese Zodiac Miracle Box, I was given a sword that looks like the Sword for the Dragon Miraculous in a colorful assortment of the colors the sword appears in whenever one of the elemental transformations are used. I was given a metal staff similar to a combination of the staves that Cat Noir, Cat Walker, Cat Blanc, and Shadow Noir use respectively. At the same time, I was also given an umbrella that looks just like the one used by Bunnyx, except that my umbrella is colored in the same colors as my armor. I was also given a mallet that looks like the one used by Minatourox, the tambourine used by Razor Pyg, the flute used by Rena Rouge/Rena Furtive, the spinning top used by Queen Bee and Vesperia, the shield used by both Carapace and Jade Turtle, but without the conical shape to reflect Jade's Chinese heritage, the lyre used by Viperion, the skipping rope used by Multimouse and Polymouse, the bolas used by Purple Tigress, the horseshoe used by Pegasus, the paint brush used by Caprikid, the ruyi jingu bang used by King Monkey, the fountain pen used by Coq Courage – oops, I meant Songhorn, the ball used by Traquemoiselle/Backcrosser, and even the bullroarer used by Eagle. And of course, at the same time, I used my Sublimation superpower to give myself the same amount of guns and other kinds of weapons from many heroes and villains as Jonah Hex, Silver Sable, Wild Dog, War Machine, Rocket Raccoon, Deadshot, Cable, Judge Dredd, Deadpool, The Punisher, Crossbones, Hellboy, RoboCop, Spawn, Red Hood, Arsenal, The Comedian, Agent 47, Deathstroke, Deathlok, Moon Knight, Elsa Bloodstone, Big Daddy, Hit Girl, Blade the Vampire Hunter, Ra's Al Ghul, the various counterparts of The Shredder, the Justice League, the Suicide Squad, the Avengers, and so forth. As for the colors of my armor, they were dark purple, lavender, black, burgundy red, indigo blue, pink, sea green, silver, and regular blue. Lastly, my wings and my jetpack were purple and red. In fact, the jetpack and wings were designed in a similar style to many versions of The Vulture and The Falcon from Marvel Comics.

I don't understand why I visualized the jetpack, as it should be more exclusive to the space power up potion.

But anyway, regardless of whether I wanted the jetpack or not, I actually have the ability to fly, so at least I'm grateful for that.

I am so glad I had my sketchbook with me when I was transported to this dimension.

The helmet is expressible, kind of like it's moving to match my expressions, almost like the way that Rorschach's inkblot mask changes depending on heat and pressure, but also different as it's metal, not shifting inkblots.

Either way, my helmet is perfect, a helmet of pure beauty and intimidation... a helmet that can shelter me from the harsh magical world and hide my identity and foreknowledge from the world. A helmet that can help to protect my tired senses from the world.

A helmet that I can easily stare down in the mirror whenever I'm in my Steel Butterfly form.

From this point in time onwards, I've decided to write and type down everything that I see, hear, and experience in general here in this realm on my twenty-four seven magical mission. And when I say that I'm going to type and write down everything that I see, hear, and experience in general here in this dimension, I do literally mean everything.

My journal entries will be nothing short of complete records of my actions which I can take a cue from in the future, a finished copy of my heroic and antiheroic deeds which I can reference to, and an attorney of sorts to show God's angels when my soul is collected on Judgement Day.

But for the time being, I've got lots of preparations to do for my war with Hawk Moth starting on September 3rd, 2014. The next journal entries will detail all of the things I see, hear and experience until that war with Hawk Moth begins.

I just hope that I can uphold the values and virtues of being a superhero and I hope that I can follow the laws of Paris when it comes to dealing with its new category of magical terrorists.

Because, either way, I don't intend to kill Hawk Moth, Mayura, or Lila Rossi. Not unless they spill the blood of the innocent bystanders first and not unless I have no other choice.

But of course, for the various guns I have at my disposal, I'll only be using them for armies of normal enemy soldiers and for other kinds of threats, including aliens and demons.

For now, though, let's let the good times roll.

(Third person POV...)

For the next hour and a half, Miguel explained the reasons why Ladybug and Cat Noir needed to know their identities right from the very start, and though Master Fu was hesitant, he was won over.

Miguel then explains that because of his new immortality, he's going to travel back in time for 32,056 years to train himself extensively so that way, in the event the Miraculouses in the Miracle Box are destroyed or otherwise rendered powerless, he could easily use his powers to wage a one-man guerilla war campaign against Hawk Moth. Especially if he amasses an army of supervillains as Scarlet Moth. But Miguel was careful to leave out the part of Hawk Moth's third supervillain identity of Scarlet Moth to save time for the future revelation to be revealed to Marinette, Adrien, and all of their appointed teenage and adult teammates in the event they all meet Master Fu personally during the day of the Volpina and Collector incidents.

To say that Master Fu was reluctant to see his champion travel back in time for thirty-two thousand and fifty-six years just to prepare himself for the war with Hawk Moth was an understatement, but he accepted after Miguel assured him that he'll be back five hours after he initially left, and he'll wake Master Fu in the morning with a nice nutritious breakfast.

Along with the assurance that, just like Batman, Steel Butterfly will come up with lots of contingency plans to neutralize himself and his future teammates in case they turn rogue, Akumatized or not.

Master Fu slightly approved of these contingency plans, if only because he's well aware of how dangerous superheroes like Superman or Majestia would become if they ever turned evil.

And the second part of Steel Butterfly's assurances is precisely just what happened five hours later into the morning.

The End.

(Author's notes: Any mention of anything from other cartoons and movies such as armor design and jetpack design aren't mine. I don't own anything about any of them, and I don't own anything about Miraculous Ladybug, except for my OC, Miguel Guevara/Steel Butterfly.

Also, Steel Butterfly's armor and winged jetpack are both inspired by, well, I think you already know by reading the whole story and Miguel's description of his appearance.

In case you're wondering, yes, Tom and Sabine Dupain-Cheng know about their "only" daughter accepting the call of destiny to become Ladybug. As evidenced by my previous Miraculous Ladybug works, I really hated how Tom and Sabine were kept in the dark about Marinette's heroic deeds. Not only because of Tikki insisting she keep her identity a secret despite the consequences of her heroics resulting in tardiness and slipping grades that prompt wholly unfair punishments, but also because of Marinette choosing not to trust her parents with a secret of this magnitude out of fear of being ratted out to Hawk Moth should either of them get Akumatized. While I would normally agree with such ground rules, after seeing all the things I hated about the show in action all the way to season five, let's just say I've started to draw the lines and boundaries for my stories.

As for the things about Miraculous Ladybug that Miguel hates, those are also the things about the chronological cartoon series that I hate in real life, too.

Also, I forgot to mention, Tom and Sabine knowing about their daughter's dual identity is inspired by a few Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction stories that feature either her parents being informed, or having already known, only to keep it a secret for their daughter's sake. And this was before I wrote my first Miraculous Ladybug stories.

Next to that, any mention of superhero movie theme songs and the protagonists humming it are just my ideas to signify how nostalgic I make my OCs.

Also, I happen to be making a simple arrangement for this story, especially in light of the fact that in recent times, Miraculous Ladybug directors of different categories have officially confirmed that season 8 of the show is being produced. And the arrangement for this story is simple: if Steel Butterfly's problems with the show increase to one hundred or more, they'll be added in this chapter. If certain negative actions regarding the hero cast and their associates or relatives are ever taken up to eleven in season 5, season 6, season 7 or season 8 – Tomoe Tsurugi and Monarch excluded – Steel Butterfly will warn his comrades about those actions so that they can avoid making them and he will warn them about the cruelties of the villains being taken up to eleven time and time again so that way, if Gabriel Agreste manages to escape imprisonment even without Mayura creating the Butterfly Sentimonster to save her boss from being arrested on Heroes' Day, Ladybug and her teammates will be able to know what to expect and what to avoid or avert if possible.

Additionally, the Miraculous Ladybug directors have officially confirmed that Adrien Agreste and Felix Fathom/Graham de Vanily are not Sentimonsters despite specific pieces of evidence to the contrary in specific episodes like Ephemeral, Shadow Moth's Final Attack Part 1 and Shadow Moth's Final Attack Part 2 among other episodes featuring Gabriel twisting his ring after giving Adrien commands like the ring was Adrien's Amokized object. And for those rumors being debunked, I in particular am extremely relieved. But in all seriousness, with the way season 5 is becoming right now no matter how many episodes have been released or finished so far, especially with Amelie Graham de Vanily lying to Ladybug and Cat Noir about where Felix is – my guess is he must've lied to her about what really happened to make him a wanted fugitive in the eyes of the heroes – suffice to say that Adrien's family tree has just gotten that much more dark, depressing, and overall tragic. And if Emilie Agreste can't be saved and if Felix's crimes continue to the point where he steals the Butterfly Miraculous and becomes the new Hawk Moth instead of Lila, Amelie is definitely gonna have to find out from Ladybug, Cat Noir, Su-Han, and any other of Adrien's relatives the hard way that her actions in regards to her naïve love for her son have consequences. And chief among the consequences is this: if Felix truly does become the new Hawk Moth, Paris will still never be the same ever again, all thanks to Hawk Moth/The Collector/Scarlet Moth/Shadow Moth/Shadow Noir/Monarch, all thanks to the identity rule established in the Origins episodes, all thanks to the love square, all thanks to Adrien being a f****** naïve, spineless coward who refused to expose Lila's lies even if Gabriel or someone else spelled out for him that lies actually can hurt people, and all thanks to Master Fu's selective favoritism. But considering the fact that Felix used the Peacock Miraculous as Argos, I'd say that the rumors of Lila becoming Hawk Moth number 2 are just getting that closer to becoming confirmed in The Last Day Part 2 and the currently unnamed season 6 premiere episode.

And sadly, because of the fact that season 8 has been confirmed to be in production, combine that with the possibility of a season 9, a season 10, a season 11, and a season 12 being confirmed to be in production all the way into 2026 or potentially 2040 in real life, that means that this Steel Butterfly story, along with my watching the show Miraculous Ladybug story, my far future soon-to-come rewrite of this story, and even any other stories I write with Marinette having the Butterfly Miraculous for any reason at all will inadvertently have way too many chapters going on for far too long.

Also, for the Akumatized villains whose Akumatizations were averted the first time around and the chronological villains whose Akumatizations still happened but they were still defeated nevertheless, new non-canon villains will take their places, and Steel Butterfly's future teammates will have to deal with them while being assisted further by Steel Butterfly's Tenshized champions.

Lastly, this is my reply to one of my recent reviewers: I'm definitely continuing this story into the future whether you and the others like it or not. I'm sorry to hear that you don't like Steel Butterfly. Sorry to hear that you find nothing interesting about Steel Butterfly. Also, it's true that Steel Butterfly could've ended the show in seconds, but the thing is, if he did that, not only would that prevent Hawk Moth, Mayura, Lila Rossi and all other associates from getting sent to prison because of the lack of evidence, but also he could end up provoking the wrath of various iterations of Bunnyx or someone else using the Rabbit Miraculous for making such a big change to the future. In addition to potentially preventing the Order of the Guardians from being restored no matter how much of an army of assholes they tend to be towards their Miraculous champions, to the kwamis, etc. Also, I don't care if those excuses sound poor or not; point is, Steel Butterfly only makes minor to moderate changes to the time stream to prevent putting himself on Future Bunnyx's disposal list just in case he does a time alteration he wasn't supposed to or just in case she's like her counterparts in various fanfictions who do everything possible to keep their jobs while playing god with timelines. And it's true that Steel Butterfly isn't any better in real life and that he goes way too far when he tries to do what's right, but even though I'm aware that this is much more of a poor excuse than an explanation, Steel Butterfly's volatile nature is brought to the surface whenever someone like Alec Cataldi for example, does something that Steel Butterfly either doesn't agree with or generally hates to an extreme. Kind of like Rorschach from Watchmen, but also vastly different. Also, Steel Butterfly may be the middle between angelic and demonic, and he may hate children and babies to an extreme as well, but that doesn't change the fact that in season 4 and season 5 chapters, he will finally become more angelic and he will finally overcome his hatred of children and babies, so be more patient, will ya? Next to that, I'm well aware that Plagg wasn't always lazy and gluttonous in the show, but I did forget which episodes feature Plagg being more serious aside from Cat Blanc, Miraculous New York, Ephemeral, etc. Next-to-last, I'm well aware that the show won't always go my way, but the thing is, no matter if it's all because of Thomas Astruc being an asshole or not, I get so full of rage that my first instinct is to write my frustrations in a journal until my hands are full of blood. (Not literally, of course.) Besides, part of my frustrations is the fact that it's taking way too long to have Lila Rossi's crimes exposed to the entire world before she could have the opportunity to go to more drastic extremes or truly cause irreparable harm, and if she does become Hawk Moth in the future starting in season 6, it may already be too late. Lastly, I will try my hardest to improve my main OC, but no promises.

See you all in chapter 1: Origins.)
