Beltiger peered out into the hallway to see nothing on either side "coast is clear" Beltiger whispered with Panther following close behind, Beltiger suddenly heard the sound of electricity crackling and dove knocking both him and Panther to the ground just before the wall to their left exploded, Shellshock stepped out "well, well, well, looks like I found ya, and your little friend too" Shellshock generated a ball of electricity in his hands, Beltiger steped forward and cupped his hands to his side and formed a ball of magenta-colored fire letting it increase in size. Shellshock launched his ball as did Beltiger making them collide and explode pushing everyone back, Beltiger recovered and rushed Shellshock while he was disoriented. Beltiger jumped and raised his fist bringing it down hard on the back of Shellshock's head causing his head to hit the ground and crack it, Shellshock stumbled to his feet with Beltiger bouncing on the balls of his feet ready for an attack. Shellshock swiped with his claws but Beltiger bent back dodging it and coming back with a left hook to Shellshock's jaw making him stumble back, Beltiger then jumped high into the air and grabbed onto Shellshock's back "Panther! Go for it!" Beltiger shouted with Panther nodding "Catalcysm!"

Beltiger thought fast and pulled back making Shellshock back away from Panther's hand, Panther leaped forward in an attempt to touch Shellshock but Beltiger turned him to the side and out of the way "he's fighting back! I'll get him off his feet" Beltiger jumped off Shellshock while still holding him and used his momentum to throw him through a wall. Panther flicked his hand and the Cataclysm disappeared "let's not reduce him to ashes just yet" Beltiger stated with Panther nodding "right, that would be a mess" Beltiger and Panther walked through the hole in the wall to confront Shellshock, Shellshock flicked his fingers forward and an electric net shot out of the tips. Beltiger jumped over it while Panther got caught and was getting constantly shocked, Beltiger rushed in with a series of bodyblows to Shellshock, Shellshock threw a backhand but Beltiger ducked under ans delivered an uppercut to Shellshock's jaw causing Shellshock to stumble. Beltiger threw two more shots to Shellshock's stomach and finished by grabbing Shellshock by the hair and throwing a knee into Shellshock's nose sending him tumbling back.

Panther broke free of the nets and jumped in extending his metal pole weapon and smacking Shellshock on the shell with it causing the pole to conduct electricity and shock Panther away. Beltiger ran forwarf and threw a kick but Shellshock recovered and grabbed his leg swinging him toward a wall, Beltiger put his arms behind his head to cushion the blow, the wall behind Beltiger was crushed and Shellshock immediately lifted him back up and slammed him on the ground bouncing him off the ground. Shellshock swung Beltiger around and threw him away, while airborne Beltiger charged a fireball and threw it at Shellshock causing it to explode and weaken Shellshock, Panther suddenly appeared and hit Shellshock in the knee with his staff, Panther continued the assault by spinning the staff in his hands and jabbing Shellshock on the stomach then smacking him in the jaw. Shellshock stumbled back and Panther began twirling his staff above him, Shellshock threw a punch but Panther quickly thrusted the staff into the ground and balanced on top of it dodging the punch. Panther brought his foot down and kicked Shellshock on the top of the head causing him to kneel, Panther landed and shrunk the stick putting it right infront of Shellshock's face, Panther extended the staff striking Shellshock in the face with it.

Shellshock flew back and slid across the floor and sprawled visibly shaken by what had happened, Beltiger joined Panther and readies themselves. Shellshock struggled to his feet, his breathing was heavy and he looked completely wiped, Panther cracked his knuckles "I think this meeting is done here, you better report to your boss on your failure to get rid of me" Shellshock chuckled "I wonder what Cobalt's up to" Panther felt his body shudder "what are you talking about?" Shellshock laughed "him and Duma are probably having a drink right now, catching up" Panther jumpes forward landing on Shellshock and pressing his neck with his staff staring into Shellshock's eyes before twirling the staff and cracking Shellshock with it knocking him out. Panther jumped off and turned to Beltiger "gimme the Miraculous back" Beltiger nodded and took it off giving it to Panther "go home, I have shit to take care of" Ben nodded and ran out the door but quickly ducked into an alley "Prowwl, Let's Hunt!" Beowulf jumped onto a roof and listened to the city, he quickly picked up the telltale screaming of people "that way" Beowulf suddenly heard commotion in the exact opposite direction "great" Beowulf whirled around and pointed his claws at Panther who was standing behind him "I'm not here to fight, I wanna save my men, and I know you wanna save the citizens so help me save them" Beowulf lowered his claws "I got Cobalt" Panther nodded and took off, Beowulf breathed deeply "this is gonna get messy".

Beowulf made it to Midnight Fortune where the fight had made it to the streets "it must cost a fortune to maintain this place" Beowulf thought to himself before leaping down, Duma and Burnix were circling eachother, both were already battle damaged. Beowulf quietly circled them, waiting for something to happen, the two suddenly charged at eachother and when they were about to make contact before being stopped by a whistle from Beowulf "hey boys, room for one more?" Beowulf jumped infront of Duma "howdy" Beowulf said before taking a swing at Duma, Duma quickly deflected and counterstriked but Beowulf blocked it and threw and elbow into Duma's midsection making him stumble back, Burnix rushed and formed a blade of flame on his hand and swung, Beowulf trapped the blade inbetween his claws pinning it and leaving Burnix helpless, Beowulf jumped up and dropkicked Burnix away. Beowulf turned around and narrowly dodged a punch from Duma, Beowulf snaked his arm infront of Duma's and twisted trapping Duma's arm, Beowulf bent Duma down and kneed him in the side of the head dazing Duma while Beowulf flipped his claws upside down and uppercutted Duma sending him up into the air.

Beowulf was suddenly blasted by a stream of fire that hit him into the window of a building across the plaza. Burnix smirked and turned his attention to the helpless Duma, Burnix charged a fireball but was distracted by a shout coming from Beowulf "Wolfsbane!" Burnix turned to see Beowulf rushing towards him with blue energy forming around his fist, Burnix launched the fireball but Beowulf snaked under it and struck Burnix in the midsection sending him flying "Devour the Power!" Beowulf absorbed the power and his costume erupted in flames becoming red with orange and yellow highlights, Beowulf coated his claws in fire and flicked them making them into six shuriken "I gotta admit, this is pretty awesome". Duma landed on his feet and reorientated himself, Duma sped toward Beowulf and put his shoulder down fully intent to ram into Beowulf. Beowulf threw down the shuriken creating a wall of fire causing Duma to make an emergency brake not to hit the wall "dammit" Duma whispered before rushing over to the other side only to get blindsided by a right cross from Beowulf knocking him out. Beowulf walked over to Duma to take his Miraculous but was hit from behind with an intense heat and knocked into a building "ow, shit" Beowulf exclaimed before shoving the debris off of himself "you really like to piss in other people's stew don't ya?"Burnix questioned with Beowulf shrugging in response "what can I say? I've got a nervous bladder" Burnix growled and launched a volley of fireballs at Beowulf, Beowulf quickly ran to the side barely evading the barrage before rushing Burnix and throwing a knee into his midsection causing him to crumple and fall to the ground. Beowulf turned his attention to Duma who was regaining conciousness and rushed Beowulf, Beowulf couldn't react and was kicked into the air. Beowulf thought fast and threw shurikens at Duma, the shurikens quickly surrounded Duma and trapped him in a pillar of fire, Beowulf waited for a few seconds and then recalled the shurikens. The pillar dissipated and Duma was barely able to stand, Beowulf turned to the side and step kicked Duma in the face causing him to do a full flip in the air and land on his back.

Beowulf dusted off his shoulders and saw the lights of police vehicles "better remove their Miraculous" Beowulf reached down but something suddenly wrapped around his waist and yanked him away, the thing let Beowulf go and flung him over a building, Beowulf landed on his feet and a large entity landed across the street from him "hey Bug Breath" Beowulf quipped, Skorpoxus growled "don't mock me boy!" Skorpoxus jumped forward and thrusted his claw into the ground causing pillars of rock to erupt from the ground and in the direction of Beowulf. Beowulf backflipped away from them before springing forward from a handstand and running on the pillars and toward Skorpoxus, Skorpoxus quickly thrusted his tail forward but Beowulf dodged it, Skorpoxus kept jabbing but Beowulf maneuvered past the jabs and suddenly leaped into the sky and onto Skorpoxus' back, Skorpoxus reeled his tail back and jabbed but he suddenly felt his own stinger pierce the back of his neck. Skorpoxus fell to the ground with Beowulf standing right infront of him, one of Beowulf's clones appeared next to him and he highfived it "good work, now I need to transform back and recharge" Beowulf went into an alley and transformed back "hey Prowwl, take a rest" Prowwl took the piece of beef jerky" Ben paced around "this seems way too easy" Sturnn responded "maybe we're just getting better" Ben shook his head "no...it took all I had just to beat one of those guys and I'm taking them out no problem, something's up" Prowwl finished eating "none the less, we should keep at it, I'm fully charged now" Ben nodded "Prowwl, Let's Hunt!" Ben transformed and made his way to the ruckus on the other side of the city.

Beowulf landed to see destruction everywhere, flipped cars and cracked streets "woah, this community has seen better days" Beowulf jumped down to investigate, Beowulf ran his hands on claw marks in the cars "whose the most logical suspect?" Beowulf said to himself before a gust of wind took him off his feet and into the air "shoulda guessed...Tengu" Tengu floated infront of him "that's riiiiight, did you miss me?" Beowulf crossed his arms "not really, my hair always gets messed up when you come around" Tengu pouted "well, I'll make sure to mess up more than your hair!" Tengu directed the wind and threw Beowulf to the pavement, Beowulf rolled on the ground and half sprawled before popping back onto his feet "get ready Hero, because I'm gonna blow you away" Beowulf put his hands on his hips "I just took down Burnix, Duma, and Skorpoxus before getting to you, I doubt you'll give me more trouble than they did" Tengu gritted her teeth but that quickly changed to a grin "we'll see" Tengu suddenly blasted off down the street taking out the street lights. Beowulf looked around, the fire from the cars was the only source of light, Beowulf could hear the whizzing of Tengu's wings and occasionally a blast of whind from her sheer speed. Beowulf whirled around looking in different directions but unable to pinpoint where she was, Beowulf was suddenly hit in the face and skipped across the ground. Beowulf recovered quickly and twirled around and kicked only to hit nothing, Beowulf caught a kick to the midsection that sent him flying and was only stopped flying into one of the wrecked cars, Beowulf propped himself up and held his stomach "okay, this isn't going the way I thought" a voice from the darkness sounded off taunting Beowulf "what's wrong? Can't fight in the dark?" Her voice suddenly came from a different side "awwww, not so tough when you can't see?" Beowulf breathed deeply to calm himself "if I can't use my eyes in the dark, I'll use my ears" Beowulf took out the Bat Miraculous and put them on "Prowwl, Scree, Unify!"

Batwolf listened for any sound, he caught the telltale sound of the whirring of Tengu's wings, Batwolf screeched down the street creating a map for himself, Batwolf saw Tengu moving fast. Batwolf took out two sickles and ran towards Tengu, Batwolf jumped up and hooked Tengu's wings as she passed under him. Batwolf was pulled by Tengu and both of them flew through the air, the bitter cold wind rushed past both of them stinging their faces, Batwolf positoned himself and threw both of his feet into Tengu's back causing both of them to crash into a building. Tengu got up and shook the debris out of her hair and faced Batwolf who was standing in a readied stance but his eyes weren't fixed on Tengu, Tengu took a step to the side and Batwolf moved his foot to face her, Tengu took differing steps and noticed that Batwolf tracked her movement the moment her foot touched the ground. Tengu smirked and quickly stomped the ground then quietly floated to the opppsite side and rushed Batwolf, Batwolf's ears perked up as he picked up the sound of Tengu's breath and quickly dodged the rush and throwing a kick into Tengu's back causing her to fall to the ground below.

Batwolf sighed "Prowwl, Scree, Divide" Beowulf jumped down and looked around to find that Tengu was gone, the moon had illuminated the street and he could see again "where did she go?" Beowulf heard footsteps coming from each direction, he was surrounded. Beowulf kept his eyes on each direction as he saw multiple figures appear from the darkness "this isn't Tengu" one of them said with another looking up at the sky "looks like we missed her, not to worry brother, we have Beowulf" Beowulf counted five of them "shot in the dark but, are you guys my backup? Please say yes" One of them laughed "do you hear that sister? He thinks we'll help him, how...pointlessly hopeful" Beowulf felt his stomach sink, he had been through this before but not to this extent. The one on Beowulf's left stepped forward, he had a chain around his neck, it was a Miraculous. Beowulf sighed "just how many Miraculous are there?" The man laughed "hundreds, since that Guardian Temple reappeared 20 years ago" The other two stepped forward, the woman had a chatelaine around her waist and the final one had a signet ring on their left hand "ready?" One of the asked with the others eerily answering in unison "ready" Beowulf objected "no, not ready, definitely not ready".

One of them shouted "Coill! Wrap and Crush!" the woman transformed aswell "Queen! Multiply!" The final one let out a maniacal laugh "Flipp! Horn On!" One was a centipede, his costume was maroon and orange in color and was covered in armor resembling the shell of a centipede, his helmet encompassed his entire head and had a purple visor, the most striking things were the giant gauntlets encasing his hands. The ant one resembled a queen, a large purple and white dress covered her black armor, her face was covered by a maks that had red markings highlighting where her facial features would have been, her hair was changed to pure white and she had a bow in her hand. The last one had a dark brown carapace with a large horn portruding from his helmet, a metallic wicked smile stretched along his face mask, Beowulf watched all three of them waiting for one of them to make a move, the Centipede finally spoke "Swarm him".
