Ch. 4: Terrifying Power

Cat Noir raced across the windy rooftops, occasionally having to use his staff to helicopter over the large gaps between buildings and over streets before finally reaching the Louvre where he could see Ladybug and Timeout facing off. Cat hissed in frustration as he took in the fight and it became clear to him that Ladybug was at a disadvantage. Timeout kept as high up as possible while Ladybug could only get as high as the nearby rooftops and trying to grab with her yo-yo didn't help as the distance was too far to get a shot that Timeout couldn't dodge.

"Looks like this one's going to be a pain if we can't get close,"

Once Ladybug took cover behind a building, Cat quickly moved to join up with her, careful not to let Timeout know he was here yet.

He eventually caught up to Ladybug who was using buildings for cover with her back turned to him and she didn't seem to notice he was here. He smirked at the opportunity before him and quietly made his approach.

"Good evening, My lady!" Cat greeted suddenly, causing the antsy Ladybug to nearly fly out of her costume but not scream out.

"Cat! Don't scare me like that!" Ladybug angrily responded as she punched him in the shoulder, causing cat to wince. "Now is not the time for your games!" Cat rubbed his shoulder as he tried not to laugh and give themselves away to the flying Timeout nearby.

"Sorry, but you shouldn't be so focused on what's in front of you that you don't check behind you," Cat advised, though it looked like Ladybug wasn't in the mood for his "advice". "Anyway, what's the plan?"

"We need to get to her earring. I'm sure that's where it is. The problem is that I can't get high enough to get to her.

"So, we need to bring her to us. In that case, I'll distract her so that she'll take her eyes off you, then once she's too busy shooting at me, you lasso her down to Earth," Cat explained his plan with a smile that made it seem like he thought he was super smart for coming up with it. Though Ladybug was starting to have déjà vu because of it.

"Cat, that's the same plan we tried this morning and it didn't work and you almost got turned into a hit and run victim. It's not going to-"

"Look out!" Ladybug was interrupted by Cat Noir knocking her out of the way of Timeout firing at them but that didn't save Cat as the next thing he knew, he was surrounded by fifty or so people inside the orange energy prison. "Ah… damn it!" Cat quickly ran over to the walls before putting his hand on it and receiving a good jolt for his efforts. "Dah! It'll hurt but Cataclysm might work…wait…" Cat looked at the shield a bit closer before realizing that the shield was dual layered as the energy flowed in two directions. Even if he could take out one of them, there's nothing he could do about the other one. Though he just sighed at the obvious: Of course, it would be designed to make sure he stayed inside. Desperate, Cat grabbed his staff before taking a heavy swing at it but the shield laughed at his attempted and just bounced the force back on him, knocking him over onto his back. "I don't know what I was expecting to happen..."

"Not going to work, is it?" Cat looked up to see Alya looming over him as he sat up.

"Nope. Cataclysm only works on the first thing I touch and since there are two walls in front of me, I can't get us out. At least not from this end anyway. Might be a different story if I was on the outside since I could just Cataclysm one wall, go recharge real quick and then get rid of the other one... maybe,"

"Well, I'm sure no one will tell who the great Cat Noir is," Alya joked, knowing that wasn't going to happen.

"Yeah, it's not like it's the most newsworthy story in the world or anything but nice try," Cat quickly rebutted before returning to thinking up a plan of attack to get out. Alya nearby just sighed as she looked at her sister and Ladybug as they continued their fight.

"It's my fault that Ella's doing this," she sadly mumbled to herself but Cat heard it anyway. He thought of asking her about what happened but stopped himself short. There was a time and place for it but they needed to focus on getting out first.

"We all make mistakes, Alya. Just try and make sure that your sister knows you're sorry after this is over," Cat remarked, cheering up Alya a little before they both heard a noise to their right and saw a boy in a mole costume standing outside the barrier.

A little while before, back with Adam, who was staring at himself in a mirror he had in his room. He was now wearing a brown skin tight full-body jumpsuit with a hood over his head with huge awkward looking paws and claws attached to it. He had a brown domino-style mask over his face and his Miraculous had expanded slightly to look more like a small bracer then a bracelet. Adam stared at his reflection as it was the first time he had seen a mirror before with shock and awe. After a minute or so, he suddenly remembered why he put the get-up on in the first place and ran out to the greenhouse.

"Okay, so I need to get there quickly… what can I do?" Adam began to scan his brain for anything new that might help him leave before finally coming up with something by looking at his paw with two words appearing in his mind.

"Grappling hook?" he muttered to himself before he looked up to the open ceiling of the greenhouse. He moved his arm to point one of his claws at it and fire a claw with a wire attached till it wrapped around the support of the open panel on the ceiling. It then quickly pulled him up faster than he could react. So fast in fact, that before he could grab the top of the ceiling to pull himself up, he instead bonked his head on the plane of glass and crashed through a table below, knocking plants and topsoil everywhere.

"Wow, that hurt… Wait, why doesn't that hurt as bad as it should?" Adam sat up quickly before noticing that despite bashing his head into double-paned glass at about twenty kph and falling five meters and going through a table covered in ceramic pots, he didn't really feel any pain. "When she said it would transform me, I didn't think it would make me as hard to hurt as a freaking demigod! How durable am I… How durable is Cat Noir?" Adam immediately though as he realized that if he could survive something like this with little pain, Cat could probably take a car to the face and survive pretty easily. He didn't even need to do the one thing that got him this magic bracelet in the first place. With that new reality now established, Adam, now aware of how powerful the grappling hook was, got to the roof of the greenhouse without difficulty. But now he had a new problem. He was about four stories off the ground. Adam took a peek over the edge of the greenhouse and the realization of how high he was up nearly caused him to fall over onto his butt.

"Okay… I can probably survive that if I fall but still…" Adam swallowed his fear before using his grappling hook claw to get from roof to roof on his way to the Louvre, unsure if he was even needed at all.

Ladybug, now down one Cat Noir and up one pissed off little kid with superpowers, was now back to square one as she bounced from rooftop to street and back again. Without even someone to provide a distraction, she couldn't get close as her skillset wasn't really built for anything that had enough awareness that getting close was a bad idea when you can just shoot lasers to capture your opponents and deal with the rest later.

"I have to use Lucky Charm if I'm going to win-"

'You can't' Ladybug heard in her head, as her own self-doubt started to pipe up after what happened earlier with her Lucky Charm sprung to the forefront of her mind, distracting her enough to nearly get hit by Timeout. As Timeout continued to get closer and closer to capturing Ladybug, she failed to notice what was above her head.

"I've got you now, Ladybuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug!" Timeout shrieked as a sudden weight fell on her shoulders and dragged her down to the ground. Ladybug turned to see a girl trying to wrestle and pin down Timeout in the street below. She was wearing a purple and gray flight suit with bat wings connected to her arms and body and a matching batwing hairpiece. Timeout managed to sneak out from under her assailant and quickly fired a volley of shots that failed to make their marks but helped put distance between her and the bat that dropped out of the sky who also had to make a retreat while under fire.

As Timeout tried to regroup from her fall, Ladybug just stared at what she was looking at. Another Miraculous. Someone with another Miraculous had just appeared and was helping her. While she was busy processing this, the bat-girl quickly flew over to her.

"Hello, Ladybug," she greeted to the stunned Ladybug with a formal, dignified tone. A bat-themed Miraculous. That wasn't one of the one's that Master Fu had showed her so… where did this girl come from?

"Who are you? Where did you get that Miraculous? Why didn't you get her earring?" Ladybug demanded as she prepared herself of anything. She didn't need another Volpina incident with someone claiming to be on her side.

"As to who I am, you can just call me Bat for now," Bat answered in a stern tone "As for the other two questions, I didn't know the akuma was in her earring so I didn't think to grab that and finally, you can ask Master Fu later. He needs to talk to you and Cat Noir as well as a certain someone else," Bat pointed to across the courtyard where a kid in a mole costume was currently planning something as he stared at the energy cage while trying and failing to stay hidden from sight. "It looks like he's trying to free Cat Noir and the others so I say we buy him the time he needs. After that, the four of us can work to take the akuma down."

Ladybug had a hard time processing everything. Two new Miraculouses that she's never seen before or even knew they existed. She shook her head to put it aside for now. She was going to need to speak with Master Fu later at the behest of this stranger that appeared out of the sky anyway so it wasn't worth racking her brain over it now when there's a crazy little girl out for their Miraculouses.

"Just 'Bat', huh?" Ladybug asked allowed as it was the easiest thing to start with.

"Look, I'm not interested in coming up with cute hero names. If you want a better one, make it yourself," Bat replied with an annoyed glare, "Now, are we doing this or not?"

"Alright, but just so we're clear, I don't trust you," Ladybug said with her determination returning. She didn't know if that mole-looking guy was really on her side or not but she had to buy him time to get Cat out. Deep down she was praying she was wrong as she quickly swung away to draw Timeout's attention away from the cage.

"I'd be surprised if you did," Bat stated to herself as she took to the sky again, hoping to get close enough to get the akuma.

Down at ground level with Adam in a mole costume as he hid behind a corner watching and waiting for Timeout to be distracted with Ladybug and Bat before running over to the cage, only for his footsteps to immediately alert Alya and Cat to his presence, blowing any chance of a quiet getaway after freeing everyone.

"Who are you?!" the two spoke in stereo as Adam just stood there with equal parts shock and stage fright as now he had to actually explain something. On Cat's end, today was turning into a strange day. First Crossguard, then Timeout, then the bat-girl fighting with Ladybug and now this guy in a mole costume. 'What hole are these people crawling out of?!'

On Alya's, she was on the edge of entering Squee Mode at the sight of more superheroes. She was honestly hoping more would show up and form an awesome super team.

"Um… Uh…" Adam stuttered as he tried to think. 'I didn't think of a name?! Great job, Adam, you absent-minded nutty bar! Of course, they'd want a name!' Quickly trying to conceive of a name, he quickly rattled off the first thing out of his mouth without actually thinking about it. "I'm… I'm The Mole!" Mole said with a vaguely heroic smile hoping to project something resembling confidence before his eyes widened as his brain registered what he just said. 'WHAT?! "The Mole?!" Did I get brain damage from that fall?!'

"'The Mole', huh?" Cat snickered with an amused smirk. "So, you've got a Miraculous too?" Cat quickly surmised.

"Yeah, I'm here to get everyone out, so if you could tell everyone so they'll be ready to run that'd be great!" The Mole, now returning his brain to the problem at hand, quickly explaining his half-plan, half Indy ploy.

"I'll get right on that!" Alya agreed ecstatically as she ran around to tell the fellow prisoners the plan.

"I don't know how you're going to do that. The thing's electrified, impact resistant and Cataclysm won't work since its double-layered. What are you going to do?" Cat asked with genuine curiosity, causing Mole to survey the shield before noticing that the corners were made out of light posts that were shielded on the inside, but not the outside. He could still hit those from his end.

"I'll punch that light post which might take the shield down," Mole answered, hoping his plan wasn't a dumb one.

"You'll punch it? You got the muscles for it?" Cat raised an eyebrow at the claim. Now that would be a sight.

"Don't worry. I've got muscles on my muscles," Mole said as he flexed his bicep, feeling less like a dork now that he had a claim he knew he could back up. 'I just hope this will actually break the barrier.'

Mole walked over to the light post and steadied himself. "You might want to stand back in case of shrapnel," He warned Cat but to be honest, even he didn't know what was going to happen when he tried out his new powers. "Earth Shatter," Mole said quietly as a ball of dark brown energy gathered in his right palm before he crushed it in his hand. He then looked at the post, wound up and punched it as hard as he could.

That light post had no chance in hell.

It didn't stay where it was. It didn't get knocked over. It didn't even snap in two. No, that post was uprooted so fast that Cat couldn't even see it happen before it went flying by him and taking out everything in its path, uprooting all the other light posts in the line before finally crashing into the Louvre building on the other side of the courtyard in a tangled heap of wrecked metal and torn wiring. The barrier disappeared a moment after as the post used for a corner was now gone. Cat was impressed as he took off to help Ladybug, Alya was in joyful awe at the power of The Mole, the crowd of other prisoners just took the chance to leave as fast as possible, scurrying like roaches when the lights came on, except for Etta who stayed with her big sister.

Mole, however, just stood there, still as a statue at the path of destruction left in his wake. Mouth agape as he stared at his right hand in absolute terror at the power he wielded. He could feel his eyes start to burn from unshed tears of fear as he began to shake uncontrollably. Terra said it would power up his punch and, yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of what just happened but all Mole could think was that the power he had was not meant to be used by anyone, ever. Mole was so out of it in terms of what was going on around him that he didn't even notice that the sound of him trashing the barrier had attracted Timeout to him.

"You let them out?! You'll pay for that!" Timeout pointed to fire at Mole who didn't even seem to be aware that he was being threatened. Alya wouldn't let her sister capture anyone else as she pulled Mole out of the way as the blast missed them both. Mole suddenly realized that he's still in the middle of a battle with an akuma and quickly pushed Alya off of him as he hightailed it, not emotionally able or willing to keep fighting. Ladybug and Bat quickly seized on the distracted Timeout and moved in to attack as Bat carried Ladybug on her back and a Ladybug printed blanket in her hands before Ladybug jumped off towards Timeout. Timeout noticed it this time and moved to fire at Ladybug but before that could happen…

"Space Control!" Bat shouted as Ladybug and Timeout were quickly bathed in light before teleporting to the other's old position, disorienting Timeout long enough for Bat to land on her, wrap her in the Ladybug themed blanket made by Lucky Charm, and rip the earring off to throw it to Cat Noir.

"Cataclysm!" Cat exclaimed as the turned the earring to dust, allowing the akuma to escape. Ladybug quickly captured and purified it before using Miraculous Ladybug to fix all the destruction that was caused and returning Ella back to her normal state.

"Where am I?" Ella asked before quickly being pulled into a hug by her sisters. Bat, mission complete, quickly took off before anyone noticed her leaving Ladybug and Cat Noir with the Cesaire sisters.

"Pound it!" the two said in unison before Cat looked around for The Mole and Bat but couldn't find them.

"Where'd they go?" Cat questioned as he wasn't paying attention. Ladybug remembered that Master Fu wanted to talk to the four of them so maybe he went on ahead now that the jobs done. She quickly got close to Cat so Alya wouldn't hear them.

"Cat, can you meet me back here in a half-hour?"

"Sure, but why? You want to spend more time with your favorite cat?" Cat suggested with a smirk that he hoped to God was suave. To the sighing Ladybug, though, it was just annoying.

"Yes, because I have nothing better to do with my evening," Ladybug dryly snarked while giving an unamused glare. "Look, I can't explain with Alya around so just trust me, okay?"

"Oh, you know you'll always have my trust, Bugaboo!" Cat replied but was largely ignored as Ladybug quickly took off for home to get more cookies for Tikki to eat. Cat, realizing that Adam and Nino were probably wondering what was taking so long, quickly made tracks for Adam's house.

"Ella, I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier,"

"I'm sorry too, sis. I shouldn't have listened to that Hawk Moth guy," Ella apologize back as tears began to form.

"How about I make it up to you both. You can help me plan your party with me so that we can make it perfect for you! How's that sound?" Alya purposed, causing the twins to nod in agreement. As the siblings reconciled, a car pulled up to the curb of the sidewalk before two adults stepped out, one being a rather unkempt man in a Hawaiian shirt and the other being a petite woman in a chef's outfit.

"Mom, Dad!" Alya cried out as the two parents quickly rushed over.

"Are you three alright?!" Alya's father spoke first as he pulled his daughters into a bear hug of his own with the worried mother joining in.

"We're fine. I just made a mistake and made Ella mad but now everything is alright," Alya reassured them but they didn't really care for reassurances. They just wanted to hold their daughters close until they themselves could be sure that everything was alright.

"Just promise me that you won't scare us like that, okay?" Alya's mother asked

"We promise, mama," the three sisters replied together, hoping it was a promise they could keep but Alya knew she wasn't going to.

Speaking of Adam, he was in the middle of a mental breakdown in the kitchen. Trying his best to distract himself with cooking dinner and putting some pro wrestling on TV to distract his mind from the destruction he caused with Earth Shatter. Terra, however, just watched him from a distance as she nibbled on a baby carrot that Adam gave her. When his mind finally was able to process coherent sentences, he turned to Terra.

"When Adrien leaves, you're taking me to see whoever gave this to me," Adam ordered as he pointed to the Miraculous bracelet.

"Oh, I won't have to," Terra remarked as she took another bite of her carrot.

"Why not?" Adam asked, suspicious as to what Terra was alluding to. Adam then heard a horn beeping from outside.

"You'll see soon enough," Terra replied as she polished off her carrot and hid inside Adam's windbreaker, just in time for Adrien to leave the bathroom and enter the kitchen.

"Sorry about that. I think I might need to go to a doctor soon," Adrien quickly apologized bashfully at having left Adam waiting. Adam quickly took a deep breath to steady himself. He had to keep his mind in the present so Adrien doesn't suspect anything.

"C-constipation?" Though the stutter wasn't helping.

"Yeah, that. Anyway, it sounds like my ride's here so I'll have to pass on the dinner,"

"T-that's fine, it's... not like I'm holding you hostage or anything," Adam joked as Adrien quickly grabbed his stuff and went to leave before giving Bobbers one last pet goodbye. "See ya later, Adam!"

"See ya!" Adam yelled from the kitchen before waiting for the door to close. He finished cooking dinner before putting a lid on the skillet and turning off the heat. He went to turn off the TV before he heard footsteps upstairs, causing Victor to start freaking out and barking like a mad dog as he ran towards Adam's room.

"Ah, looks like she's here," Terra spoke as she left the jacket and headed towards the upstairs with Adam in pursuit.

"Who's here?" Terra stopped just short of the door to Adam's room before turning to him.

"The person who picked you, of course," she said as she flew through the door, surprising Adam as quickly opened the door to see quite a sight. Terra was now sitting in the hand of Bat from the battle earlier.

"You… Why are you here?!" Adam asked, wondering if he was so bad that his cover was figured out in less than fifteen minutes.

"Good job tonight, Adam," Bat congratulated with a warm and slightly proud smile, "You didn't do too bad for your first time with the mole Miraculous. You were even able to draw her attention away from us so that we could ambush her so you even helped fight the akuma too. I knew I was right in picking you,"

"Wait, back up a bit! You gave me this?!"

"No, but I saw what you did this morning and thought you'd be a decent candidate on short notice. You're a bit of a coward but the fact you showed up at all makes it clear what kind of person you are," Bat pointed out rather bluntly like Adam wasn't already aware that he ran from the Louvre like he just raided the place, burned it to the ground and was attacked by the police. Adam just stood in silence as he thought about what Bat was telling him.

"He zones out a lot, I swear," Terra whispered to Bat before she flew over to him. "Hey, numbskull, time to go," Terra ordered insultingly, seemingly the only way to break Adam out of his trances. True enough, Adam instantly caught back up at the offense that Terra threw at him.

"Go? Go where?" Adam asked, not quite sure what she meant.

"You wanted to meet Master Makizou, the one who entrusted you with your Miraculous, no?" Bat answered before opening the door to the messy greenhouse. Adam looked at the bracelet for a moment in contemplation.

"Why don't you just take this to him? I don't need to meet him," Adam offered as he prepared to take off the bracelet.

"He would like to meet you though. I'm sure you've got a lot of questions for him to answer and he's got a few for you as well," Bat replied with her back to him before stepping out and jumping up and out of the greenhouse, waiting on Adam to come along. Adam looked at Terra who gestured towards the door, making it clear she was on Bat's side and believed he should go too.

"Terra, rock out…" Adam muttered, defeated at this point and having no real choice but to go along for the ride till this Makizou person finally gives him the out he's looking for.

Ladybug quickly landed on the roof of her house just in time for her transformation to run out, causing her earrings to spit out an exhausted Tikki.

"Sorry for overworking you today, Tikki. Three transformations in one day can't be good for you," Marinette looked over Tikki with concern as she placed the weakened kwami on the pillow of her bed. Tikki tried to say something but was just too tired to be able to work up the effort before Marinette ran down to grab something for her to eat, running into her parents.

"There you are, honey. We called you down for dinner a while ago but you weren't in your room. Were you on the roof?" Sabine asked motherly, wondering where her daughter had run off to.

"Oh, you know, I was just struck with inspiration for some designs and needed the air. Sorry to worry you," Marinette gave Sabine a hug and a smile to show that everything was fine.

"It's okay, sweetheart, we know how you get when you're working. But you really should eat something," Tom said as he put her dinner in the microwave to heat it up for Marinette. Marinette grabbed a few cookies as well, before winking to Sabine.

"Just be sure you eat those last. You need good food for energy,"

"But, your cookies are good food since they taste so good!" Marinette joked as she faked an attempt to eat one right away, only for Sabine to rip it from her hand.

"Dinner first, dessert later," Sabine said with a smile before sitting down on the couch to continue watching the news about what happened at the Louvre. Marinette grabbed her dinner and a cookie for Tikki and headed upstairs to eat.

When Marinette got to Tikki, she saw that her kwami was lost in thought as she laid upon the pillow.

"You okay, Tikki?" Marinette asked as she passed over the cookie which Tikki began to make short work of.

"Marinette, can you tell me in detail what happened? I've only got a few snippets since I can't see through your eyes," Tikki asked in a serious tone, one Marinette didn't see every day.

"Of course, Tikki," Marinette acquiesced, before going in depth about all that had happened while she was transformed, from the difficulty with Timeout to the arrival of a person calling herself "Bat" and another in a mole-themed costume with one hell of a haymaker. Tikki listened intently to everything Marinette said, only taking a brief moment to take another bite of her cookie. When Marinette finished her story, she took note of Tikki's expression, one that Marinette had never seen before: a look of dread.

"I'm… concerned…" Tikki spoke after swallowing a chunk of the cookie, trying to underplay her true feelings. "The mole and bat Miraculouses… they shouldn't be here," Tikki's voice was low and dark, making Marinette instantly uncomfortable as she tried to eat her own dinner.

"They shouldn't? What do you mean, Tikki?" Marinette was starting to get worried. Tikki's never been this serious.

"Something really bad is going to happen, Marinette..."

After being taken home by the Gorilla, Adrien went up to his room without any resistance from his father or Natalie, causing Adrien to assume that they're busy at the moment. Adrien quickly ran into his room but knew he wouldn't be staying long. Adrien quickly pulled out a piece of Plagg's favorite cheese but Plagg didn't immediately attack it with the same vigor that he normally does.

"Okay, what's up? Normally, you would have inhaled that block of cheese in the time it would take me to blink and now you look like you don't know what to do with it," Adrien asked with a confused look but when his kwami looked at him with a serious face for the first time since Adrien had met Plagg, Adrien knew something was terribly wrong. Plagg flew over to his cheese but didn't immediately eat it.

"What happened out there, Adrien?" Plagg asked in a concerned tone, worrying Adrien even more.

"You don't know?"

"Only little pieces. I only slightly aware of what's going on around you when you're transformed, remember?"

"Fair enough, I guess," Adrien quickly went over the main bullet points, not really sure what the big deal is other than there being more superheroes. He talked briefly about the fight but he made sure to put more focus on the bat girl who helped Ladybug with beating Timeout and "The Mole" who set him free from the energy cage. He then explained that Ladybug wanted to meet him back at the Louvre later but she didn't elaborate on what. After the story was finished, Adrien looked at Plagg who's expression hadn't changed and the cheese was untouched the whole time but the fact that he was taking anything seriously, in the presence of Camembert, no less, made Adrien feel like he had no idea what he was talking about.

"Adrien, I think I know what Ladybug wants but just so we're clear, you should take everything said to you as important," Plagg warned as he began to eat his Camembert with his usual feral ferociousness that Adrien came to expect from Plagg, causing Adrien to recoil in surprise. First off, Plagg shouldn't ever tell someone else to take things seriously so if it's bad enough that Plagg is willing to be a hypocrite over it, then it was clear that dark days were ahead of them.

"I will, don't worry about it," Adrien reassured Plagg who didn't respond and just kept eating, knowing that Adrien wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Elsewhere in Hawk Moth's chamber, Hawk Moth is staring out his window as his butterfly finally made its return and landed in his hand.

"So, we missed two of them, I see. No matter, I've already got enough of what I need from them to make my move. I just need to distribute my new resources," Hawk Moth then opened the communicator in his cane. "Immortal, you may move forward with the next step,"

"About time. I was starting to wonder what was taking so long. Picking some good ones shouldn't be hard though if you've got any suggestions, I'd love to hear them," A male voice with a Japanese accent came through the other end.

"Oh, believe me, I do! I'll contact you soon with a list of names of potential candidates that I've picked up over the last year. The usual suspects if you will. Till then, make sure no one knows you're here. If they find out before we're ready to strike, it'll be hard to recover in a timely manner."

"Understood," The voice affirmed before hanging up, leaving Hawk Moth alone in his dark chamber, grinning at the thought of his next plan to take the Miraculouses.

A/N: So fair warning, next chapter will be very explanation heavy since it'll be the biggest set-up of the story. After that, we'll be putting more focus on certain characters so look forward to that as well.

One review this time:

Kmbrun: I'm glad to hear it but it seems like I can still be a bit clearer on some things like what Terra is supposed to be. Idk, I came up with the description while I was looking at a picture of a mole so I thought it was close enough. Oh well, it was easy enough to fix. I suppose.

So yeah, next time we lay a lot of things bare that will show how this story is going to go down so look forward to it.

Sal out!
