Sabrina stood there in shock as she saw her friend in Gabriel's clutches. Her hands slowly turned into fists.
"Gabriel, why?" Sabrina asked.
"I know that you have the peacock miraculous, do you really think that I would just let someone into my house unless it is important" Gabriel explained. "Besides, you need to hide your miraculous better"
Sabrina held the brooch in fear and anger. Duusu squirmed, trying to get out of Gabriel's grip.
"Ever since that kid, 'Elliott', stole the miraculous off of me, I knew that he had to be Dragontooth" Gabriel recalled back to the day when Elliott stole back the peacock miraculous.
Flashback...
Gabriel was at his stand, looking at some designs for Adrien's clothes and finding out more about the miraculouses. He then heard a CLANK! at the hallway. Gabriel reluctantly went to investigate, whilst having a pad that controlled the cameras of the building. He found nothing at where the source of the noise was. He looked at the cameras and saw that one of them was blocked off. It was the camera that was in his workplace. Gabriel turned around and saw that the door to his workplace was closed. He tried to open it, but to no prevail, it was locked.
"How?" He asked himself. Gabriel turned the private camera in his workplace on and saw Elliott in there. The painting was open and the safe was about to be. He turned the voice sensor on and listened.
"Alright Drazz, now what do we do?"
"Allow me, us kwamis can phase shift through all kinds of substances"
"Alright then, after you"
Drazz whited through the safe and unlocked it. Elliott saw all the items that were in it.
"That book...it's the book of the miraculous"
"Drazz, do you know what this is?"
Elliott was holding the peacock miraculous.
"The peacock miraculous! Duusu will finally be saved"
"Then let's not waste any time"
"That's impossible!" Gabriel denied. He then bashed the door. "OPEN THE DOOR! NOW"
"Oh, dang"
"Elliott, just grab the miraculous and let's get out of here!"
"It's what we came here to do, let's go now"
Elliott and Drazz were now out of sight and the camera was unblocked. Gabriel growled in defeat.
"When I find him..." He whispered. He then managed to get the door open. "At least I know what he looks like"
End flashback...
Sabrina was stunned that Elliott was Dragontooth, she already knew that he was the knight, due to him being unmasked when Marinette was akumatized. She was even more shocked when she found out that Gabriel knew about the miraculouses. Her grip on the brooch loosened.
'Could he be Hawk Moth?' Sabrina thought.
"That's it...give me the miraculous or you can say goodbye to your kwami" Gabriel threatened.
"But...I though miraculouses were indestructible" Sabrina stated.
"No, they're not, Sabrina" Duusu drew her magical tears again. "Only with a specific item, will they be destroyed and the kwami dies with it"
"Duusu...I promised that I would never leave you" Sabrina started to draw tears. "But..."
"Whatever it takes to keep me alive" Duusu finished. "It's your choice"
"What will it be...Le Paon" Gabriel held onto Dussu tighter, which made her squeal in pain.
Sabrina reluctantly took off her miraculous. Gabriel drew a horrid smile at her decision. Sabrina then walked up to Gabriel.
"You want it? Then-" Sabrina was about to give Gabriel the miraculous...
"Father?" Adrien came into the room, which surprised them both. Gabriel accidentally let go off Duusu and Sabrina put the miraculous back on. "What's going on?"
"Nothing son" Gabriel lied. "Just a negotiation between your childhood friend's best friend"
"Sabrina?" Adrien asked. "You never talk to her"
"Well, this is our first time meeting, I thought I would get to introduce myself" Gabriel said.
That made Adrien's suspiciousness only grow more. Sabrina then spoke up.
"Well, it was nice to meet you, but I think I should get going" Sabrina then quickly made a run for it out the front door. Gabriel, however, used lockdown on the front door. Sabrina then quickly opened the door and escaped in the nick of time.
"Father, what are you doing?" Adrien asked.
"Go to your room, Adrien, there is something up with her" Gabriel ordered.
Adrien did as he was told. But he had another plan.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Plagg asked.
"What I have to" Adrien answered.
"But what about the risk?" Plagg warned.
"I'll be careful" Adrien reassured.
"Like Marinette?" Plagg crossed his tiny arms.
"It won't be like that" Adrien frowned. "Plagg, Claws Out!"
Sabrina saw that the gate was shut tight and she could not get out.
"Well, looks like there's a peacock in distress" Adrien, now Chat Noir, teased.
"Chat Noir!" Sabrina shouted. She grabbed Adrien's hand and managed to get over the gate, escaping the mansion. Adrien then headed back to his room through the bathroom and de-transformed.
"All of that just the help Sabrina" Plagg explained.
"I had to help her as Chat Noir, as Adrien, my father would know that something is up with me" Adrien informed.
"Well just be glad that you weren't caught" Plagg replied.
Sabrina held her kwami in her hands, who was shaking in fear.
"Duusu, it's alright, you're safe now" Sabrina comforted Duusu by caressing her head.
"I...thought I was a goner" Duusu cried.
"Well, you're not and I'm always here for you, I promised that I would never leave you" Sabrina smiled.
"That you did" Duusu agreed. "You will always be my friend"
"Right back at you" Sabrina giggled. "Now let's get out of here"
The two then fled the scene.
