-Really? Still nothing? (shrugs) Moving on...

The Magician of Misfortune looked at the superheroes. He frowned, then he proceeded to laugh at them. "You are fools trying to confront me again!"

"You're the fool, Misfortune! We defeated you and there were only two of us!" Cat Noir retorted.

Abeille gave him a skeptical look. "Look at it logically. There's five of us and one of you. What'ca gonna do?"

He smirked. "Glad you asked." He got out his wand and shot a bunch of rabbits towards them. "I got some new tricks up my sleeve! Pesto chango!" He fired a white beam at the rabbits and they soon turned into one giant rabbit monster. The rabbit giant growled and the quintet of heroes gasped. "Good luck trying to beat that! Arrivederci!"

He disappeared in a puff of smoke. Cat Noir gulped. "Well this is new."

"Anyone got any ideas?" Jade asked.

Ladybug got out her yoyo and advanced towards the giant. She tried lassoing one of the rabbit's legs, but he moved towards them despite her efforts to restrain him. The rabbit then picked up the yoyo and spun Ladybug around before throwing her into the wall, making her really dizzy. Cat Noir struck the beast with his staff repetitively while Jade Ninja threw his shield towards him. Neither of these had any effect on him. He smacked Cat Noir aside and tried to hit Jade Ninja, only for him to expand his shield to protect himself. Renard created an illusion of himself running away and the monster chased after it. While he was doing this, Renard climbed up and he stabbed the rabbit with his flute. Sadly it didn't do much damage. The rabbit realized the Renard that was running from him was an illusion after he stepped on it. The rabbit reached behind his back, grabbed the real fox superhero and held him tightly in his fist. He tried to escape to no avail.

"Let go of me you overgrown hare!"

"Put him down you fluffy lovable creature!"

Abeille stabbed him in the foot with her spear and he groaned in agony. He crashed back-first into a building and dropped Renard. Ladybug, who finally got her head back in the game, caught him before he hit the ground. She set him down and looked at the rabbit.

Jade Ninja looked around. "Where did the Magician go?"

"The same place he went to last time," Ladybug began.

"The Eiffel Tower." she and Cat Noir said in unison.

"Then go stop him. We've got this." Renard said.

"Are you sure?" Cat Noir asked.

They all nodded yes and Abeille responded, "Yes, go! Hurry!"

Ladybug and Cat Noir ran off, leaving the three heroes to face the rabbit alone. The Lucky Duo ran off to the Eiffel Tower, only to find that the Magician of Misfortune was already there. He had cast a large white circle of energy around the Eiffel Tower and got out a cape.

"Hold it right there, Magician!" Ladybug screamed.

The akumatized villain turned around and saw them. "You guys?! How'd you get past the giant rabbit monster?!"

"We have our ways." Cat Noir answered.

He growled and shot fireballs at them. For a while, they dodged those fireballs quite easily. That is until the fire burned Cat Noir's butt. He screamed in pain and then rolled on the ground as Ladybug shielded him from Magician's attacks.

"Cat Noir, are you okay?!"

He groaned. "Ow... I smell burnt leather."

Ladybug sniffed the air and scrunched up her face. "Ugh! That smells nasty!" She looked at Cat Noir and gasped.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh, Cat. Your tail..."

His pseudo cat tail was burned to the length of Ladybug's ponytails. He screamed. "Well that's just great."

"Abracadabra!" With a beam of white and black magic, the Eiffel Tower disappeared. The Magician of Misfortune smirked. "You're too late! Now to make you disappear!"

"I beg to differ. Lucky Charm!"

She used her superpower and conjured a fork.

"A fork?"

"Ha! You can't stop me with a mere piece of silverware!"

Ladybug looked around and saw his wand, his long cape, his hat and a nearby bush. She formed an idea.

"Cat Noir, keep him distracted!"

"Got it!"

He fought Magician with his staff while his opponent used used his wand as a sword. Ladybug threw the fork, which supposed to bounce off his hat and land on his cape, pinning him to the ground. Instead, it got stuck in his arm. He screamed in pain.

Ladybug shrugged. "Ouch. Not what I had in mind, but I guess that works."

She ran over, grabbed the wand and snapped it in half with her knee. As the akuma was released she charged up her yoyo and said, "No more evil doing for you, little akuma." She spun her yoyo around. "Time to de-evilize!" She captured the akuma. "Got'cha!" She released it as the other superheroes came. "Bye bye, little butterfly. The fork magically reappeared in her hands. "Miraculous Ladybug!"

She threw it into the air, making the Eiffel Tower reappear and fixing Cat Noir's tail. He smiled before taking a closer look at the other three. Ladybug's Miraculous beeped. She looked towards them and gasped when she finally noticed that Renard was knocked unconscious.

"Yikes, what happened to you guys?" Cat Noir asked.

"The rabbit gave us a hard time." Jade Ninja answered. "He threw Renard right into a glass window, knocking him out cold." He and Abeille set his teammate down. "I'm amazed at how he didn't detransform even when knocked unconscious."

"You'd be surprised the ability of the Miraculous to retain transformation as long as you don't use up your super powers." Cat Noir said. Just then, Ladybug's earrings beeped again. "Well, we better be retiring for the night."

"But I thought you wanted our identities to stay secret from each other." Abeille said.

"I did say that." Ladybug began. "Have any of you heard the title of Great Guardian?"

Abeille nodded no. Jade Ninja spoke, "Yeah, I have. My kwami has mentioned to me that my predecessor was the previous one. Why do you ask?"

"Well, since I'm the Great Guardian, and because Cat Noir helped me to choose the new Miraculous wielders, we know who you are under your masks. But we can not ask you to reveal your identity to your teammates. As for Cat Noir finding out who I am, he already knows. He was smart enough to figure it out on his own, despite the glamour magic that hides our true faces. Concurrently, I know who he is because he told me. He did this because he felt guilty of knowing my secret identity while I didn't know his."

Her earrings beeped again. "Uh, My Lady?"

"Oh right. Let's move."

Cat Noir scooped up Ladybug in his arms and ran off with her, leaving the others in a state of mild confusion. The feline superhero ran fast and landed in the front yard of the Agreste Mansion. Terra's silhouette could be seen through the curtains. She looked quite startled.

"Who goes there?!" Terra asked.

"Relax Terra, it's only Cat Noir and Ladybug." Gabriel answered from afar. He opened the door and saw Ladybug detransforming in Cat Noir's arms. "Do come in. I can imagine you're quite exhausted after fighting an akuma."
