My friend and I always loved animals and we dreamed of having our characters to be the elephant and jaguar themed superheroes. Based on our real lives, we made our own characters based on us.

Two planes are arriving at the airport in Paris. One from New York and the other from Sweden. Both coming out from the planes was a Costa Rican American girl and the other was a Swedish boy. The girl came to Paris to do her studies at the zoo to get her degree to one day become a zoologist.
"Jag ser verkligen fram emot det här" The boy said "I've been looking forward for this" in Swedish.
He goes to get his suitcase and while waiting, looks at his pictures on his phone. It is implied he has volunteered with elephants in Thailand. Now it's the time to study elephants at the zoo in Paris and maybe explore a little too since he heard about the two famous heroes. He knew only they were a little younger than him and that they had stopped many akumas.
"There you are" He grabs his suitcase at the baggage carousel. Once he picks it up, he checks his phone to see where he's supposed to go to.
The Spanish girl also finds her purple galaxy pattern suitcase and checks her phone to tell her where the Grand Hotel is.
Her phone rang and she answered, "Hola mama. Si, I made it to Paris. Don't worry, I'll be fine. This place has famous superheroes. You know, mariquita and the gatito. Si, the gatito that I always admire but I'm just a big fan of him. Anyways, gotta go. Te amo mucho" She hangs up, a little embarrassed when it comes to being part Spanish of the family.
"Yep, grand hotel it is" The Swedish boy checked the address.
He spots a very old Swahili man with a cane about to fall down the escalator. It alarmed the boy to act fast since no one but him noticed it.
"Whoa! Hey! I got you!" The boy caught him in time. The old man gasps in relief and stands up.
"Thank you, young man. You saved me" The old man said.
"No worries," The boy said.
"I want to repay you for it, Mr.." The old man took out an elephant-shaped necklace.
"Pelle, Pelle Skarsgård" Pelle said his name.
"Nice name. This should bring you wisdom and bravery wherever you go" The old man handed the necklace over.
He was never given a piece of jewelry but he did love elephants a lot, "Thank…" When he looked up, the man was gone, ….you?" He puts the necklace into his pocket, heading for the taxi outside.
The Spanish girl was on her way to the taxi cab when she heard a very old Colombian woman struggling to get to the other taxi cab. No one was helping her and the girl chose to help her instead.
"Ah, gracias" The old woman thanked her.
"Estás bien?" She asked, unaware that the elderly lady slips a paw ring in the girl's purse.
"Si, you're so kind" The old woman said.
"You're welcome," The girl said.
"Now I must go, princesa. I got my gatitos waiting for me" She closed the door.
"Heh, what a sweet lady" The girl heads back to her taxi cab.
"Grand hotel please," She told the driver.
"Oui mademoiselle" The driver nodded and drove her there. Pelle's taxi goes before hers.
x
As they both reached the hotel, the two glanced at each other, waving shyly at the same time before heading inside the hotel. The Spanish girl wasn't used to making new friends since her last friend replaced her with another which made her experience manipulation and betrayal. She can't go through that again. So instead, she wears dark makeup and black clothes.
"Ugh! New guests?! Look at you, dark makeup is filthy! Your skin is too much tan! What are you?! Mexican that eats disgusting tacos?" Chloe tormented the Spanish girl.
"Costa Rican but also American. I'm Luna Cantillo and I'm here to stay at the hotel" A girl named Luna said, not wanting to cause a scene.
Pelle just shook his head and went to the reception, "Name please" The receptionist asked,
"Pelle Gunther Skarsgård" Pelle said.
"Whatever ridiculous Spanish loser you are, go back to where you came from. I don't like pretty girls getting all the attention! I rule Paris and if you don't follow my rules" Chloe getting in Luna's face, making her feel uncomfortable, "Then you're a nobody! Maybe your mommy and daddy abandoned you!" Chloe laughed.
"Shut up, Bruja!" Luna glared at her and quickly covered her mouth that everyone was watching.
"What did you call me? I think you need a lesson" Chloe said.
"I didn't mean it" Luna backs away nervously for causing a scene.
"That's enough!" Pelle got in front of Chloe, "How dare you mistreat a guest you barely even know. Have you looked in a mirror lately that you're making a fool of yourself in front of everyone?"
"And who are you supposed to be?!" Chloe asked.
"None of your business! I'd suggest you leave her alone rather than throwing racist remarks at her!" Pelle points directly at her.
"Ha! Do you think you can intimidate me?! I am the queen of Paris! I can kick you out of my hotel for insulting me!" Chloe cackled.
"Go ahead and try, I know exactly who you are, Queen Bee. Everyone knows you betrayed Ladybug and Cat Noir. Why don't you work on being nice? Oh yeah, nice isn't your taste. Evilness is your taste" Pelle leans in her face, making her feel intimidated.
Luna can't believe this boy is defending her for the first time here in Paris.
"You don't want to ruin your public image further, Chloe!" Pelle warned her.
"Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" Chloe leaves the hotel with Sabrina.
Luna held in her tears about her father who passed away years ago, "Why did you stand up for me?" She asked the Swedish boy.
"Because I can't stand people getting mistreated like that" Pelle replied.
"But she's the daughter of the mayor. She could report this to her father. I shouldn't have caused a scene" Luna said nervously.
"No, Chloe caused a scene first. You didn't do anything wrong" Zoe Lee came downstairs.
"Who are you?" Luna asked.
"I'm Zoe Lee, Chloe's half-sister," Zoe Lee said.
"You don't seem like her," Pelle said.
"I'm the opposite of her. Are you guests?" Zoe asked.
"Yes, I'm here to study the animals at Paris Zoo," Pelle said.
"Me too. For college stuff to get my degree to become a zoologist" Luna said.
"I see. Well, I hope you two enjoy your stay" Zoe Lee said.
"Thanks. I'm Pelle from Stockholm, Sweden" Pelle said.
"Luna Cantillo from America" Luna said.
"Well, I'm an American myself through my dad," Zoe Lee said.
"Same with my dad too," Luna said before signing in by the receptionist.

Much later in his room, Pelle goes to the mirror to try out the necklace he got from the old man as a gift.
"This is so gonna symbolize my friendship with those majestic creatures" He puts it around his neck.
It glowed and an orb came out of it, startling Pelle when he stumbles against the vanity mirror. His necklace became gold for his camouflage and there stood a floating elephant kwami.
"Wow! It's so good to finally meet my new holder!" The elephant Kwami said.
Unfortunately, Pelle could not speak as he let out a high-pitch gasp, "Vad I helsefyr!" Pelle exclaims in Swedish.
"Forgive me, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Trunkk and I'm the kwami of reminisce" Trunkk said.
"A what?" Pelle raised a brow.
"A kwami, a magical creature" Trunkk hovers around, landing near a bowl of peanuts.
"Hey! Don't eat that!" Pelle tries to grab him but the creature dodges.
With Luna, she unpacked everything but never recognized having a paw ring in her purse.
"What's this?" She picked it up, "A ring?" She puts it on her right ring finger and it glows purple, releasing a black jaguar kwami out of the ring.
"Whoa, a fairy cat? Aww….you are so cute" Luna said.
"Greetings, I'm Clawws" The kwami introduced herself.
"That's a funny name for a panther," Luna said.
"Close but I'm a jaguar. I'm the kwami of pursue and you are my new holder. Got any food?" Clawws asked.
"Uhhh…..well, I have these which I haven't tried yet" Luna held a mini box of macaroons.
"Perfect" Claww grabbed one macaroon and ate it.
"I never seen a kwami thing or whatever you are. It's nice to talk to a creature" Luna said.
"Thanks. There's more of us out there" Clawws said.
"I see. I gotta get to the zoo now. It's best if you stay hidden. We can't let anyone see you" Luna said.
"Okay then" Claww nods.
x
At the Zoo, Pelle was dressed up in candidate clothing while being instructed. His kwami was staying hidden in his backpack munching peanuts.
"Well, this is it" He marched out for his duty to help the zookeepers with the rhinos.
Luna was writing in her notebook about their behavior, their nature, and their diet. She takes a look at the black jaguars, understanding them since she has a kwami jaguar. What is the connection with jaguars when it comes to pursue and what did Clawws mean by kwami of pursue?
"Pretty much like leopards being panthers, their fur gives them great camouflage in the dark," Luna said while writing down.
She sees a tall athletic boy teasing the jaguars like they don't have feelings but to Luna, every animal has feelings the same way mankind does. This was making Luna upset because she could see that the jaguar was snarling at the boy. As much as she loves animals, she hates it when someone treats them like savages.
"Hey!" She got Kim's attention before the Jaguar could do anything.
"Don't try to compare yourself to that you're faster than her. No human can beat faster animals" Luna walks up to him, despite being 7 inches shorter than him.
"Oh? How much stronger are they then?" Kim crossed his arms.
"A lot stronger than you think, muchacho. Unless you want them to eat you until you're nothing but bones. So don't bully the jaguars" Luna growled in annoyance, "Niño tonto" She murmured.
"I don't care what you think but these animals don't have feelings" Kim scoffed and took his leave.
Luna had no idea that her anger triggered an akuma to find her, "Calm down, Luna. It's not worth it but it was nice of you to defend an actual feline" Clawws hidden in her owner's small purse bag.
"Cálmate, cálmate, cálmete" Luna takes a breather from all that anger, making the Akuma drift away since it does not sense anger from her.
With Pelle, he was getting a hang of taking care of the rhinos, especially the calf who loved being brushed on the snout, having not grown horns yet.
"Good girl" Pelle brushed the rhino calf more.
"Monsieur Skarsgård, are you ready to meet our new elephants? It's a mother and her son" Said the lead zookeeper.
"Uhhh….qui?" Pelle said.
"Come, I'll show you," The lead zookeeper said, bringing him to the new elephant exhibit. There stood a female African elephant with her calf.
Pelle remembered the time he worked as a volunteer in Thailand, seeing how the mother cared for her baby, caressing his head with her trunk.
"We'll look who it is. A Swedish to a snobbish man who insulted me! You got a lot of nerve to embarrass me at the hotel. Right Sabrina" Chloe making a scene in front of Pelle.
"Um yeah" Sabrina nodded.
"Hey! Back off! I'm trying to work here with her and her boy" Pelle replied with a glare.
"Back off, Ms. Bourgeois," The zookeeper said.
"What a noble teenager!" Chloe cackled.
"Technically I'm 18 which makes me a young adult," Pelle said.
"Pfft! Whatever!" Chloe scoffed. The elephant calf walks up to Pelle, "Heh, tell me about it, elefant unge" Pelle said, and the baby elephant trumpets happily.
Nearby, Marinette and Adrien were at the zoo, noticing the new elephants but also Chloe ranting.
"Oh, no. Not this again. I told her to be nice" Adrien can see that his childhood friend is making the Hispanic girl very uncomfortable.
Marinette also noted how the Swedish man looked irritated at Chloe's remarks while working, "Oh, man. I hope this doesn't trigger an akuma"
They see Alya's father about to get akumatized into Animan again.
"Oh no!" Adrien gasps.
Suddenly Alya's father transformed back into Animan, and he transformed into his panther form again, "RAAAAAWR!" He bellowed, causing Sabrina and Chloe to run away, with the two elephants trumpeting in panic.
"I gotta go inform security! Get the elephants to safety!" Pelle ran off to hide from Animan.
He ran to the changing room to get Trunkk out, "Trunkk, how do I transform? We got a crisis out there!" He asked his kwami.
"Simple, say Trunkk flap my ears!" Trunkk said.
"Okay. I hope I know what I'm doing. Trunkk, Flap my ears!" Pelle suddenly gets a blue and gray suit, his blue eyes changing to brown and a blowhorn appears on him. He soon stood in a pose.
"I gotta go somewhere safe!" Luna ran to her hiding spot inside the restroom, "Oh, Dios. Can this day get any worse? Clawws, I cannot stand by and do nothing. There are people out there in trouble. What do I do?" She whispered.
"Just say Clawws, let's hunt" Clawws whispered.
"Okay. This is very new to me. Clawws, let's hunt!" Luna transformed into a jaguar-themed superheroine with purple spots and a mask that turned her eyes purple as well, her ponytail also gained purple accents. A tail appeared as well on her as she posed.
x
Ladybug and Cat Noir appeared to stop Animan again, only this time he is now a cheetah and is extremely fast.
"Aw come on! Stop right there!" Cat Noir tries to catch him.
The traveling young adults came to the grand hotel roof, observing the animals get loose in Paris and are going crazy, scaring the civilians.
"Huh?" The jaguar and elephant-themed heroes glanced at each other, "Who are you?" They asked at the same time.
"Uhh...Panthera. Si, Panthera. And you, azul chico?" Panthera asked.
"Since I'm partially blue, call me Blu Tembo" Blu Tembo said.
"What?" Panthera did not understand what that name meant.
"It means blue elephant" Blu Tembo explained.
"I see. I'm like a jaguar" Panthera said.
"Great. Well, let's help Ladybug and Cat Noir with the animal situation while they deal with the akuma" Blu Tembo took out a horn.
"But we don't even know anything about akumas they fought for months. I heard that Hawk Moth changed his name to Shadow Moth" Panthera said.
"He surely can't make up his mind. But we got to take care of the animals first" Blu Tembo jumps down the building in a typical heroic pose, and his fist collides with the ground.
"Oh, Dios. I never fought akumas and I'm so afraid of heights" Panthera whimpered and jumped down, feeling no injuries, "Whoa, I got superpowers!"
"Yeah, and this certainly gave me the weight of an elephant" Blu Tembo noted the cracks on the ground when he landed.
"Just like I recall Ladybug and Cat Noir have been taking care of a giant baby a while ago and it is said Cat Noir entertained that giant baby, Wait, how can I remember that quite well?" He wondered.
"Heh, I guess that's the superpower of an elefante, chico" Panthera said.
"Ah, yes. An elephant never forgets" Blu Tembo said.
"Look out!" Panthera tackled him down from almost getting smashed by a gorilla.
"Whoa! That was close!" Blu Tembo exclaims.
"You're right. We should deal with the animals. Oh, man. I don't want to hurt them. They are just scared" Panthera helped the elephant boy up.
They saw a baby calf looking frightened, unable to find his mom.
"He's distressed. We need to find his mother" Blu Tembo said.
"I hope this jaguar power helps. I never done this" Panthera held her silver metal sphere as it glowed purple, "TRACK!" She says her superpower word and twirls around and strikes a pose. Her eyes glowed purple as her vision did something. It zooms through the streets of Paris, passing by the main road, the Eiffel Tower, and several parks until it shows the elephant mother trumpeting in distress looking for her calf.
She gasped as her vision returned to normal, "Over there!" She points in that direction.
"Come buddy. We'll get your mother" Blu Tembo leads the calf.
"And mas rápido, chico. I have a feeling the main heroes are gonna need our help" Panthera said, feeling that something was about to happen to them.
x
She spoke too soon when the heroes are caught by a sentimonster cage that prevents them from using their powers. Cat Noir knew that using a cataclysm on a sentimonster could go out of control.
"How does it feel to be caged like animals?!" Animan in panther form asked.
"Hey, it's not fair! House cats don't belong in cages!" Cat Noir yelled.
"You haven't won yet!" Ladybug yelled.
"I have, now give me the miraculous!" Animan said.
"Never! Milady and I are very wild and untamed! No one can get their evil paws on our miraculous!" Cat Noir taunted.
"Looks like I'll take it by force" Animan turns into a gorilla.
"Oh, man! Can you choose an animal with no fingers or hands?!" Cat Noir gulped and could not get out of this sentimonster cage.
"If only my lucky charm worked!" Ladybug grabs the bars.
Panthera and Blu Tembo jumps in front of gorilla Animan, stopping him from trying to reach their miraculous.
"Hands off, ape!" Blu Tembo said.
"No toque de nada!" Panthera said.
"What the heck are they?!" Shadow Moth saw them through Animan.
"Who are you?" Animan asked.
"Blu Tembo," The elephant man said.
"Panthera," The jaguar woman said.
"It's not nice to cage a ladybug and a black cat," Blu Tembo said.
"You would make a fine collection" Animan transformed into an extinct mammoth.
"Oh, it's elephant against mammoth!" Blu Tembo takes out his blowhorn.
Panthera stares at Cat Noir since she's a big fan of him. She snapped out of it and impaled the sentimonster cage with her sphere, causing it to widen the bars open, "Blu Tembo! Take mariquita and I take gatito!" She instructed since she could hear their miraculous beeping.
She then whacked the sentimonster aside to give them more time enough to escape, "NOW!" She exclaimed and carried Cat Noir and jumped to the building to the chimney to hide from each other.
"Hang on, Miss Ladybug!" Blu Tembo carried Ladybug out of here.
From Shadow Moth's lair, "No! I was so close! I finally had them! Animan! Find them but also get those new heroes their miraculous! I want them now!"
"Yes Shadow Moth" Animan assumes an eagle form to search for them.
x
Panthera doesn't know why her ring did not flash but his can. She hid behind the chimney so he could recharge.
"Clawws, let's rest" She detransformed and caught her kwami in her hand, "I know it's a lot to catch up. This is very new to me from the start. I'm Panthera and it's so nice to meet you, gatito. I'm a huge fan"
"Ah, finally someone admires me. I never get many big fans in Paris" Adrien said while waiting for Plagg to finish eating his cheese, "Are you an adult? I saw you used your power and you didn't transform back"
"Si, I'm actually 19 years old. I get that a lot when everyone thinks I look 14. It's a Latina thing when it comes to aging slowly. Like my mama before me. Enough about me, what happened when you and mariquita got trapped?" Luna asked.
"Mariquita?" Adrien asked.
"It means Ladybug. Forgive me, where I'm from, it's a family thing when it comes to being bilingual. Back to my question" Luna said.
"What is it?" Adrien asked.
"What happened before you and mariquita got trapped by that thing?" Luna asked.
"Oh, just as we tried to corner Animan with my cataclysm and Milady's lucky charm, we didn't know it was a trap. We thought we were done for until you and that blue guy saved us" Adrien explained.
"You're welcome Senõr Gato," Luna said.
"Heh, Spanish is a very wild language, señorita Panthera. I'm beginning to like you as my number one fan" Adrien flirted, even if he's behind the chimney wall.
They hear the Eagle cawing that it could be Animan looking for them.
"Don't move!" Adrien stood still.
Luna held her mouth as the kwamis hid. The eagle passed by, the coast being clear.
"I'm full now," Plagg said.
"Plagg, claws out!" He transformed back to Cat Noir in a green flash.
"Clawws, let's hunt!" Luna transformed back to Panthera in a purple flash.
Both felines came out of hiding to glance at each other, "Meow, looks like we're a particularly feline family" Cat Noir said.
Panthera giggled at his humor, "I guess that makes us part panthers, gatito" She said and heard the animals going crazy around Paris and the sentimonster cage with legs was looking for the heroes.
"That thing looks unbeatable. We gotta find Blu Tembo and mariquita" Her spear glowed, "Track!" She used her superpower.
Her vision leads to see Ladybug and Blu Tembo heading to the Eiffel Tower to hide.
"The Eiffel Tower. Lead the way, gatito. Huh?" Panthera had her hand held by the feline kissing her on her back palm hand.
"Lovey paw, Panthera. We got Milady to save as well as your elephant guy. We cats have nine lives after all" Cat Noir extends his staff to vault.
Panthera was a bit flustered by his flirting but she did like his humor, "Heh, funny cat" She chuckled and followed him.
x
Blu Tembo hides behind the rail so he doesn't see Ladybug's true identity, "Fold my ears" He detransformed and caught his kwami in his hand, "Okay, I know this is new to us. It's my first time here as a superhero. Technically I didn't know I wasn't alone" Pelle explained.
"You and another cat work together?" Marinette asked while feeding Tikki a macaroon.
"Technically not quite but we just met like 20 minutes ago. We barely know each other" Pelle said.
"Just like me and Cat Noir. Animan is back and Shadow Moth sent a sentimonster to set a trap. He almost won but you and that panther girl saved us in time" Marinette said.
"You're welcome. From what I know from my country, this monster that sends out akumas is after you and your cat. Why?" Pelle asked.
"I'm not supposed to say but he wants our miraculous. He's obsessed with power and wants to take over the world" Marinette said.
"Definitely a psycho man that can't even come out and fight but instead he sends his puppets to do his dirty work. What a selfish coward" Pelle growled lowly.
"Tell me about it. He repeats the same thing and fails. Only this time it's different when it comes to sentimonsters" Marinette said.
"Like the one that prevents you two from using your powers?" Pelle guessed.
"They come in different forms," Marinette said.
"It won't be easy fighting that thing and the akuma at the same time. We gotta find your cat and mine. Trunkk, flap my ears!" Pelle transformed back to Blu Tembo in a blue flash.
"Tikki, spots on!" Marinette transformed back to Ladybug in a pink flash.
"Oh, here they come" Blu Tembo saw two felines coming this way to the Eiffel Tower.
"Sorry for the wait. You know how long it takes for us felines to be in puuuuurrrrfect shape to get our claws to sharpen up" Cat Noir said with his cocky grin, making Panthera giggle a little.
Ladybug rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Where have you been, kitty?"
"Just recharging and chatting with my feline cousin," Cat Noir said.
"Great, I don't have a plan from before and it won't be easy to fight a sentimonster and an akuma" Ladybug said.
"Right, you are, Ladybug!" Shadow Moth along with his sentimonster cage and Animan as the monkey climbing on the rails.
"Shadow Moth" Ladybug and Cat Noir got in their fighting pose, making the jaguar and elephant heroes confused.
"More miraculous that will soon be mine!" Shadow Moth said with an evil cackle.
"Caramba, you really are evil with no soul. You look like a peacock that just ate a butterfly for lunch" Panthera taunted for the first time at a supervillain.
"As I remember from the TV news, you used to be Hawk Moth and you changed your name to Shadow Moth. What name are you gonna change into? Lame Moth? It would take a century to get their miraculous until you are extremely dead old" Blu Tembo making fun of him.
"Such heroic nonsense! GET THEM!" Shadow Moth ordered Animan and the cage sentimonster.
The heroes jump down from the Eiffel Tower while Ladybug tries to remember her plan from before, "Argh! I can't remember the plan!" Ladybug groaned in frustration.
"This way!" Blu Tembo ran with them near the edge of the canal of the Seine River, "This is my first time. I hope this works" He took out his bow horn, "RECALL!" He says his superpower word and blows the horn and out comes a blue orb as it hits Ladybug to refresh her memory.
"I got it now!" Ladybug suddenly remembered.
"Whoa, that's cool," Cat Noir said to Blu Tembo.
"The sentimonster's amok is somewhere with Shadow Moth. I need you two to deal with the sentimonster while Cat Noir and I deal with Animan" Ladybug said before summoning her power, "Lucky Charm!" Out came a men's cologne fragrance, "A cologne? Okay"
"At least we will smell nice, right?" Cat Noir puts his arm around Blu Tembo's neck.
"Yes, that last 16 hours," Blu Tembo said.
Ladybug spreads cologne on herself, on Blu Tembo, Panthera, and Cat Noir.
"This stuff is for men, mariquita" Panthera shuddered that she smells like a man.
"Yes, but this stuff is strong. Animan can't smell our scents" Ladybug said.
They heard loud stomping and the heroes hid in the shadows, not making a single move before the T-Rex Animan thought he smelled something but he smelled very strong cologne nearby, walking past their hiding spot.
"It worked" Cat Noir whispered.
"Told ya," Ladybug said.
"Now to find that monster. Track" Panthera's eyes glowed purple and her vision zooms to where Shadow Moth is with his sentimonster. He was at the zoo, scaring the animals away while trying to find the new superheroes.
"Back to the Zoo. He's there" Panthera said.
"Go! We'll handle the king of the dinosaurs!" Ladybug said.
"On it!" Blu Tembo went with Panthera.
"Time to render extinct!" Cat Noir took his staff out.
x
At the zoo, Shadow Moth can tell that these new heroes care about animals, so why not lure them here and surrender their miraculous?
"Hide and seek is over, coward! Here's an advice, never send someone to do your dirty work. Do it yourself!" Panthera standing behind him along with Blu Tembo.
The elephant-themed hero sees that Shadow Moth is holding a pen that could contain the amok controlling the sentimonster.
"Creating monsters can result in putting yourself and mankind in danger!" Blu Tembo glared.
"Fools! I just want Ladybug and Cat Noir's for a purpose! Sometimes sacrifices must be made!" Shadow Moth said.
"I don't think so! From what I see, you're a terrorist! And sacrifices don't make things better when someone has to suffer the consequences!" Panthera held her spear.
"You caused a lot of suffering in Paris, Shadow Moth! What would your family think of you until they are angry or scared of you?!" Blu Tembo held out his blowhorn.
"Your heart is so full of twisted madness!" Panthera said.
"Then so be it! Sealer, grab their miraculous now!" Shadow Moth ordered his sentimonster.
Suddenly, two elephants pushed the sentimonster aside. Blu Tembo recognizes the mother and she decides to repay him for helping her find her baby.
The jaguars came along and they huddled next to Panthera, giving her the courage to overcome her insecurities and hesitation.
"What is happening?!" Shadow Moth can't believe the animals are helping them.
"Support. Something that you don't have! Paris supports Ladybug and Cat Noir because that's what gives them courage and determination" Blue Tembo said before petting the elephant mom's trunk, "Tack så mycket".
Panthera gasps at how friendly these jaguars are. She knew they were not savages that people thought they were. All it takes is to understand one another rather than judge them.
"He's right. All you do is force akumatized people and sentimonsters to do your bidding. That's why you always fail to get their miraculous. You only think about greed and selfishness because that's what a supervillain thinks about! No one can ever support someone's madness because madness leads to a bigger consequence" Panthera said.
"Get him!" Blu Tembo said to the elephant mother, who grabbed Shadow Moth by the trunk and waved him around like a ragdoll.
"Agh! Sealer! Save me!" Shadow Moth ordered his sentimonster to save him.
The elephant threw him against the tree, making him drop the amok pen down. The jaguars pounced on the sentimonster to give Panthera some time to grab the pen. She rushes at full speed, retrieving the pen. She doesn't know how to control the sentimonster but she guessed that Ladybug knows what to do.
Right now she and the elephant man will have to fight Shadow Moth who is now recovering. They rushed to him that is trying to escape but Blu Tembo blew his horn to make Shadow Moth's ears ring.
"AAAAAGH!" He held for his ears before Blu Tembo punched him.
Panthera jumped in and tried to strike with her spear but she clashed it against his cane.
"You may be new but you have little experience!" Shadow Moth drew the cane back.
"Agh!" Panthera was tossed against the entrance fence.
"You and that boy's miraculous might be just as interesting" Shadow Moth sneered.
"The miraculous is not a toy, stupid man!" Panthera groaned from getting hit.
Blue Tembo pushed him aside, "Don't even think about it! Your greed is madness!" Blu Tembo whacked him with his blowhorn.
Panthera got up and tried to help Blu Tembo grab the brooches but Shadow Moth whacked them hard with his cane, injuring them.
"Now for theirs" Shadow Moth was about to grab their miraculous.
"Not so fast old timer! CATACLYSM!" Cat Noir shouted and tried to cataclysm near Shadow Moth, forcing him to retreat.
"We'll deal with him later, these two are injured" Cat Noir saw the two new heroes in pain.
"Are you two alright?" Ladybug came after Cat Noir tending to the two.
"Agh, yeah. For us very young adults, he's a very strong adult" Blu Tembo groaned.
"Still have my nine lives, Gatito" Panthera was helped up by Cat Noir, "Oh, I think this pen controls that thing" She handed the amok pen to him.
"Yes, it must be" Cat Noir snaps it in two to let Ladybug purify the feather.
"What happened to the guy who was akumatized?" Panthera asked, "Is he okay?"
"He's back to normal now" Ladybug assured them.
"What kind of monster Shadow Moth is to control them like this?" Blu Tembo asked.
"An irredeemable one. MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" Ladybug tossed the cologne to repair all the damage. Including the new heroes' injuries which were also healed.
"Pound it!" Cat Noir and Ladybug fistbumped, which Blu Tembo and Panthera joined in.
"Well done Blu Tembo and Panthera" Cat Noir said.
"Gracias. We may have failed to capture Shadow Moth but at least Blu Tembo and I get to experience what it's like to be superheroes" Panthera said.
"Yeah, we got a lot to learn," Blu Tembo said.
"What matters now is that Paris is okay, for now," Panthera said.
"Yeah, we might face each other another day. Oh, shoot I'm about to detransform soon" Ladybug said.
"Me too," Cat Noir said.
"Well, good luck" Blu Tembo waved as Ladybug and Cat Noir pole vaulted away.
"Can't wait to see you again, Panthera" Blu Tembo said as he pounded his fist with hers.
"Same here Blu Tembo," Panthera said.

Later at the Hotel, Trunkk was munching on the peanuts while Pelle finished a slideshow of spreading knowledge of Elephant sanctuaries over trekking with them.
Luna was in her room chatting with Clawws over her studies of the zoo today, "You sure learned a lot today" Clawws said.
"Yeah. All my life I was naive and timid but I never felt so brave as Panthera. Believe me, ever since my padre died when I was 10, I never had a good life. It was just me, my mama, and my older brother" Luna said before finishing her assignment.
"At least you made a friend with the elephant guy," Clawws said.
"Yeah. My last friend manipulated me and I was afraid to make a new one again. I guess my fears stopped me from trying again" Luna said.
"That's no true friend, but Blu Tembo turned out to be a real one, he shares your love with animals" Clawws pointed out.
"Must be his instincts to protect them" Luna said.
She heads out of her hotel room while Clawws hides in her purse bag. Heading to the elevator and up to the sixth floor to grab something to eat on the restaurant floor. From there she saw the same Colombian old lady sitting at the table, gesturing for Luna to come.
As she did, she took her seat, "Hola. Um, was this ring yours?"
"Si, princesa. I slipped it in your purse when you helped me in the taxi cab. All these years I knew I would find the right young person to wield it" The old lady said.
Luna realized that she must have used to be the Jaguar holder but became so old that she could no longer fight, "So that's why you chose me" She said.
Pelle was also on the restaurant floor when he spotted the same Swahili old man at the table.
"Habari, Kijana," The old man said "Hello young man" in Swahili.
"Hello there. I forgot to thank you for the gift at the airport. It turns out it's a magical miraculous" Pelle said.
"Ndiyo, it belonged to a friend of mine in Kenya before she decided to travel the world. I saw by your shirt you're dedicated to saving those creatures" The man pointed at Pelle's shirt, labeled PES.
"Ah yes, Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. I once worked there and became attached to them like family. They are almost sentient" He said.
"Just like you are to them. I knew you were the right young man to wield it. You are the first white man to become the new elephant holder" The Swahili man said.
"Yeah, I guess. I promise to use it for good" Pelle said.
The Swahili man smiled, "Good"
After having dinner, Luna came downstairs to the lobby but did not see that she crashed into Pelle.
"Oh! Sorry," Luna looks up.
"No worries. Actually, I was looking for you. I know I shouldn't have gotten involved in a scene but the way that brat treated you, made me angry and it was very wrong of her to bully people she barely knows. I know what it's like to feel intimidated by someone who has power" Pelle said.
"Not only that, when she mentioned about my parents, one of them is no longer alive. It brought sad memories. It was very brave of you to defend me from that bruja" Luna said.
"You're welcome" Pelle smiled.
"Forgive me for the way I speak English along with Spanish words, it's just that I have two halves from mi mama being Spanish and mi papa being American. I was raised to be bilingual" Luna explained.
"I understand. Well, I usually only use Spanish, German, and English when traveling" Pelle said.
"I see. I did know a few French words before coming to Paris. I'm an artist when it comes to traveling to countries, especially mi mana's country" Luna took out her sketchbook.
"Ah, interesting" Pelle looks through them.
"Gracias," Luna said.
"You an artist? Such ridiculous hobby for a Mexican loser!" Chloe coming downstairs to the lobby.
"It's not a ridiculous hobby. Art is about inspiration and expression. For the last time, it's Costa Rican" Luna glared.
"Leave us alone, Chloe. Didn't your father ground you for insulting us?" Pelle remembered before getting his pass key for the hotel room, he heard the mayor having a little talk with his daughter.
"Like I care?! You losers are utterly nobodies! You young teens are utterly ridiculous to have a vacation here in my country I rule!" Chloe ranted.
"We are young adults!" Pelle and Luna said in unison.
Suddenly, they hear a child singing outside and lots of creatures running around, scaring the people.
The sparkly sand dust lands on Chloe and her nightmare comes to life of herself looking horrible, "MY FACE!" She screamed in horror.
Luna looked outside seeing Sandboy. Pelle pulled Luna inside before a giant tarantula crushed her.
"Agh!" She lands on his back, "Qué es eso? Was that a giant araña?!" She shuddered and helped Pelle up. Even the nightmares are also inside the hotel too.
The sand dust touched Luna and Pelle, bringing their nightmares to life.
"Bad chica! You always hesitate! What would our familia think of you as a failure?!" Luna's evil counterpart came out of hiding.
"No! It can't be!" Luna gasps.
Suddenly a large cobra appeared out of the ground, reminding Pelle of a nightmare he had of one rising from the sand.
"Whoa!" Pelle jumped out of the way. It separated the young adults to hide from their worst nightmares.
"It has to be an akuma bringing nightmares to life!" Luna ran into the elevator before the doors slid closed just in time before her evil version almost had her.
"Why are you afraid to become evil?" Clawws asked.
"That's not what I'm afraid of. It's my insecurities every time I have anxiety issues. I believe my nightmare is my conscience. Whoa!" She jumped from the sudden punch on the elevator floor, "Caramba! Clawws, let's hunt!" She transformed.
With Pelle, he was outside trying to get away from his nightmare. Never thought he believed his nightmare would haunt him sometimes but never in his entire would it come to life in the real world. The giant cobra almost got him when he threw a trashcan at it.
"Trunkk! Flap my ears!" He transformed into Blu Tembo.
The cobra didn't recognize him as it slithers to find him, "Huh? Oh, I get it. Pelle is scared of cobras but not Blu Tembo. Time to find the heroes" He hops to the rooftops.

Ladybug and Cat Noir were fighting Sandboy but could not get close enough every time he sent out sand bombs at them.
"Not this time!" Ladybug dodged it to not lose her powers again. Or worse, having Cat Blanc return to reveal her secret identity in front of Paris to hear.
They hear an African blowhorn to get Sandboy's attention as he turns around to see Blu Tembo, "So, are you Boogeyboy? Son of the Boogeyman?" He taunted the child, "Bringing nightmares to life doesn't seem like your daddy's work of scary art"
"I'm Sandboy!" Sandboy said.
Panthera jumps in to join her partner, "Really? Like Sandman? Isn't he from the children's stories that dumps sand on children to make them go to sleep?" Panthera laughed a little, "More like a boogeyboy to us"
Ladybug and Cat Noir laughed at their humor.
"You two keep your mouths shut!" Sandboy shouted.
"Bring all the miraculous to me, Sandboy!" Shadow Moth said through the evil mask.
"You won't survive your worst nightmare for long!" Sandboy resumes to blow evil sand at Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Blu Tembo quickly gets in front of Ladybug to shield her and take the hit.
Panthera did the same too for Cat Noir, "Agh!" The jaguar woman tumbles against the chimney wall, "Ow!"
"Panthera! Are you alright?" Cat Noir asked.
"Si, but I got hit and…" Panthera gasped and saw a copy of Cat Noir standing on top of the chimney, "Gatito mala! I'll never let you be like me! You're not worthy to be in the feline family!" The nightmare Cat Noir twirls his staff and gets ready to attack.
"Another copycat!" Cat Noir exclaims and blocks his attack.
Blu Tembo recovers but his nightmare comes to life and instead of his original as a civilian, his was much worse. Ladybug quickly carries him before the nightmare is revealed.
"Blu Tembo are you okay?" Ladybug asked.
"Yeah. But I got hit!" Blu Tembo saw his worst nightmare in front of them.
"A huge mouse?!" Ladybug got baffled.
"GET THAT THING AWAY!" Blu Tembo backed off, "I hate mice and rats!"

With the cats, Panthera clashed her spear against nightmare Cat Noir, trying to defend herself. The real cat did not think she would be afraid of him but doesn't know why. He pushed his counterpart aside and gets Panthera to safety, away from the copycat.
"Whoa, easy. Just breathe, cousin!" He can see she's trembling badly from her panic attacks.
They came to the alley and hid, "We just met. Why are you afraid of me?"
"I'm not scared of you, gatito. I'm scared of what you'll think of the real me being a nobody. When you and Ladybug saved the day for the first time, I always wanted to be like you. You inspired me with your bravery, your courage, taking hits for your mariquita, and your funny cat puns and humor. But as I can see now, I'm nothing like you" Panthera slumps down in disappointment, "For years when mi papa died, I never had a good life. I tried so hard to be worthy of something but I'm just…not fearless"
"Panthera, sometimes fear can be like a defense mechanism but when it comes to this situation you have to fight your fears. I feared once Ladybug would try to kill me but I know she wouldn't" Cat Noir said.
"You don't understand, gatito.! The real me is a coward, Panthera is not! Two sides of me are not the same, even if they are the same person. No one understands me because I get criticized for how I feel and they don't take my feelings seriously. Just like that brat at the hotel, she nearly almost broke my spirit!" Panthera said.
Cat Noir can see how much she's been through her life, compared with his. When she mentions that her father died, it's the same as how his mother disappeared and his father paid less attention to his wants and needs, he decides what's best for him but in reality, it makes him suffocate more.
"Panthera, I do understand because I also lost one of my parents too. The other shut me out and all I do is be told what to do. Just like everyone can't understand how I feel but I don't talk about it when it comes to having friends that care about me" He explained about his civilian life, "Compared with yours, sometimes it's hard to think history will repeat again but you can't let your fears stop you from trying"
"There you are! Ven aquí, chica! You won't go unpunished!" Nightmare Noir found them.
"Agh! I didn't think my nightmare would speak with Spanish words like that!" She held Cat Noir's shoulders.
"Quick learner I guess. Now let's beat him together" Cat Noir said.
"You'll never be part of the feline family, chica! Your father will be disappointed in you! I'm gonna make sure you run out of 9 lives!" Nightmare Noir cackled.
"The one whose nine lives will run out is YOU!" Panthera strikes at him with her spear.
Cat Noir soon joined by striking Nightmare Noir in the back, "The real gatito inspired me, faker! You're not the real one!" Panthera pushed the nightmare against the wall.
"CATACLYSM!" Cat Noir charged his attack.
"I will never let you rule my subconscious again!" Panthera let the kitty kill it.
Nightmare Noir turned into dust after Cat Noir finished him.

Blu Tembo and Ladybug did their best to fight the giant mouse.
"This is so ridiculous!" Blu Tembo blows his horn at his nightmare while Ladybug tries to secure it.
"And I thought elephants weren't truly afraid of them!" Ladybug pulled the yo-yo.
"Well, I have every trace of memory happening now when this bogeyboy appeared! Whoa!" Blu Tembo almost got bitten by the giant mouse, "And my panic attacks that I don't like mice!"
"Alright. Lucky charm!" Ladybug summoned her charm and she caught it, "Cheddar cheese?"
"Hey, boogeyboy! Cat scratch!" Cat Noir pole vaulted with Panthera to do a cat scratch move together with their sharp claws at the flying pillow.
"Hey! Get off!" Sandboy screamed.
Panthera grabs him and tumbles with him while Cat Noir destroys the pillow to release the Akuma.
While the giant mouse was distracted, Ladybug caught the akuma and purified it.
"Bye bye little butterfly" She released it.
She tossed her lucky charm so it could spread ladybugs to repair the damage and get rid of the nightmares.
The boy returned to normal and saw two feline superheroes.
"Hola chiquito" Panthera said.
"Two cat heroes?" The boy was confused.
