Chat pounced from the broken building he was stationed on. His cataclysm tore through the ground underneath the poor akumatised victim who they had learnt was his personal assistant. She screamed as the earth gave-way beneath her and they could see her screwing up another agenda from her clipboard and getting ready to throw her latest bomb.
They had already figured out some of the basics from the information they had from the police and their fight with his personal assistant (now named bomber) they knew the akumatised object was the clipboard she kept her agendas on. They had figured it was because Adrien hadn't phoned to tell her they were not coming in and therefore left her to drop the bomb on the business men who were meant to be meeting with him that day.
They hadn't figured out how she had been akumatised but her special power was to be able to drop bombs from her agenda board. Not just 'drop and boom' as Chat had eloquently stated but she could program them to her will. Big, small, tiny, time delay. She had already been to the prison and freed Gabriel an hour before the bomb at the mansion had gone off.
Before she had the chance to create her latest paper bomb ladybug had taken advantage of her sudden plunge into the ground to use her cleverly crafted water-gun to soak the papers through. Together Chat and Ladybug grappled the clipboard off of her and broke it. They watched in amazement as their teen years flashed before them and the little purple butterfly tried to fly off.
"time to de-evilise" Ladybug smiled with her trademark pose. "ha" she exclaimed as she caught the akuma in the cleansing light of her yo-yo. She pulled it back towards her and tapped on the side to reveal a pure white butterfly emerge. "bye bye little butterfly" she smiled.
She looked at Chat Noir once again and throwing her lucky charm water bottle (which she had turned into a water gun) into the air she exclaimed "miraculous ladybug" and the ladybug swarm that Paris had not seen in over 5 years swept the city, rebuilding everything and healing all people caught in the attack.
Both miraculous beeped as the TV crews started badgering them with interview questions. "Everything we know will be on the lady-blog with an exclusive interview tomorrow. For now bug-out" and her and chat flew off in the same direction of the Agreste mansion both keen to see the same thing as the other. The security footage.
They landed by the mansion and making sure it was just them they de-transformed. The door to the mansion was a jar and they could see a wall of dust in the light that shone through the pillars towards the porch. Pushing the door further they saw loads of tiny moths flying all around the room. All of the tiny white moths seemed to be spreading from the former office of Gabriel Agreste.
They peered in the door to see the carpet covered in moth balls and holes where the moths had obviously feasted on it for the past 5 years. There was a hole in the floor behind the dust covered desk. The secret passage from the observatory and Gabriels office had never been found. They presumed it must have opened itself during a thunder storm had struck the house causing a power surge many years ago.
"the moths must have come up and laid eggs in the carpet and- maybe get an exterminator in?" Marinette screwed up her nose at the stuffy smell and batted away a few moths flying at her face.
The security footage revealed Adriens assistant about to enter the office and then receive a phone call "that must have been my meeting" Adrien stated rubbing the back of his neck guiltily. She looked pretty distressed. She seemed to compose herself before glancing around and pushing Gabriels door lightly. It didn't open. She looked around again and took the skeleton key from her pocket.
She unlocked the door and gave it a big nudge. The motion detection switched on the office camera "its actually temperature and motion detecting" Adrien informed when Marinette questioned why it didn't pick up the moths all these years. "its specifically designed for capturing humans on camera, thats how he saw me taking his book that time" Adrien grimaced at the memory and why he had never connected the dots at that time.
The assistant almost fell into the room and started flapping away at all the moths coming at her, stepping back and catching her heel on a hole in the carpet. Her face was expressed that she fully regretted what she had done the instant she had opened the door. They watched in terror as she moodily picked up her clipboard and her phone started ringing again. The Akuma came from seemingly nowhere, it had obviously been created during the final battle and then just resided somewhere between here and there until it found a victim finally in its presence.
the akuma landed on her clipboard and the purple outlined her face and she transformed into the bomber. She went to Gabriels desk and took out a jar before She set a timed bomb for 1 hour and fled for the prison where her master was wanting release. The police had already explained that she had blown all the locks of the prison one by one and by time they realised what was even going on Gabriel had already gone.
"what was the jar about?" Marinette asked Adrien who shrugged. Her answer came from an old voice behind them.
"That jar was no ordinary jar" they spun around to see master fu with Wyazz on his shoulder. "That Jar was handcrafted by the Guardian monks many decades ago. It has the properties to rebound power from the outside and guard it from within."
Master fu let out a heavy breath. "I have failed again."
"Master-fu, it wasn't your fault, you nearly died!" wyazz cut in whilst everyone looked at master-fu in curiosity and shock.
"Your father came straight to see me when he escaped, he stabbed me and presumed me dead before seeking out the miraculous box. He was not able to access the entire box but managed to escape with 1. nooroo is once again missing" Tikki, Wyazz and Plagg all looked very solemn for their lost friend.
"I can only presume your father knew that the healing power of the ladybugs would put him back in prison so he has put nooroo in the jar and hidden him somewhere, who knows where. We will not be able to detect him whilst he is in the jar, just as the ladybugs were not able to return him to my box. He thought me to be dead, that may well end up a grave error on your fathers judgement Adrien." he winked at Adrien
"Master, do not pretend like it was nothing, I was there as you were taking your last breaths, if ladybug had not healed the city when she did you would have been lost forever." Master Fu tapped Wyazz on the head gently, consoling his kwami for what he had been through.
His tone lightened as he turned to leave and mystically said "before I nearly died there was a very strong surge of energy which came from the direction of Marinettes parents bakery. I wonder what it could have been"
Marinette and Adrien looked at one another, by time they looked back master fu had vanished into thin air and they ran full pelt towards the bakery, Marinette had her phone to her ear willing her parents to pick up.
