Cerise came to the underground prehistoric world. No reception from her technology since she's far deep down from here. She has also de-akumatized her victim and now she needs another to help her. She heard loud footsteps and saw it was a Spinosaur.
Her brooch can sense its negative emotions like rage and hunger.
"Perfect to be my guide, beast!" She unleashed her akuma from her makeup kit and it phased through the monster's teeth.
"Nooro, dark wings rise!" She transformed into Chrysalis to take command of the extinct animal, "I don't care what to call you but I'm giving you the power to eliminate opponents out of my way, beast. Unless you want a to be king and tell you what to do?" She manipulated it.
The spinosaurus seems to understand her and gives in.
"Good boy. Now rise, Spino King!" Chrysalis said.
It commands her and spots the watching and it roars, not letting this beast take command of the dinosaurs.
"Now, show it who's the boss around here!" Chrysalis said.
Spino King roared in dominance and it made the back up, no match for how strong its roar sounded. It was frightening her children and she could not fight that monster, for the sake of her children. So she instead ran away with them.
"Now, you're the apex predator around here! Ladybug and Cat Noir, prepare yourselves!" Chrysalis raised her fist in the air.

The next morning, Ladybug and Cat Noir drove a Lucky Charm Ducati to travel fast enough to find their friends than on foot. Cat Noir took the wheel to drive while his lady hung on to him. They didn't worry anymore about their power limit since it had already evolved at that time during the end of Chloe's tyranny.
Cat Noir chuckled that the plant-eating dinosaurs heard were moving at their speed but were not bothered by the heroes.
"It's like going to a dinosaur zoo, milady!" Cat Noir said.
"Or a dinosaur safari, Kitty" Ladybug said.
"Whoa!" Cat Noir moved to the side from almost getting crushed by the brachiosaurus, "Well, at least we know the brachiosaurus are more gentle beings than we thought they were!"
"Of course!" Ladybug said.
They came up a hill and drove down, "They have to be here somewhere! Check your bug phone. Are they anywhere close?" Cat Noir asked.
Ladybug opened it up and saw they were at the glaciers, "They are at the glaciers, Kitty"
"Glaciers, good thing we packed our ice skates" Cat Noir drove faster.

At the glaciers, Blu Mammoth had a pair of binoculars. He still can't find the heroes anywhere but he did spot someone riding on a weird-looking transformed Spinosaur.
"Who the hell?" Blu Tembo said.
"What? You found them?" Panthera said.
"No, look" He handed the binoculars to her.
Once she saw it, she almost dropped the binoculars, "Aye caramba! It's a spinosaurus akumatized!"
"And a new Hawk Moth person!" Blu Tembo said.
"She can akumatize animals?" Panthera said.
"WHAT?!" Raptor Man looked into the binoculars.
"That is not how I pictured a dinosaur. Who the hell is that woman? I don't remember her being here" Raptor Man said.
"We don't know. I gotta see up close with my power. Track!" Panthera's eyes glowed purple and her vision zooms to the new Hawk Moth riding on a dinosaur.
"Yes! Go for that car!" Chrysalis ordered Spino King.
Panthera stopped and took a breather before almost catching up to remember that face, "Yup. A new Hawk Moth but it's definitely a woman. Possibly 15 or 16 years old. I don't know. That voice sounded so familiar like that Lila Rossi"
"That manipulative liar that made a pathetic lie to make me believe she used to see elephants with small ears in Africa?" Blu Tembo remembered.
"And that she lied to me about winning a date ticket to go on a date with Cat Noir when he told me that he never dated her and that his heart belongs to Ladybug" Panthera remembered.
"Do you think this holder could be her?" They asked each other.
"Judging from her new look, we did remember she had a wig," Blu Tembo said.
(Flashback)
"There was a time that I used to travel to Africa to see jaguars and elephants. The animals were so obedient to me. Oh, and I used to date Cat Noir and he was so charming" Lila making up lies.
Blu Tembo did not like this strange girl because he did not see her face in African news or anywhere except the Gabriel brand commercials. He can tell that this girl is lying. Panthera can also tell that she's lying. Jaguars don't live in Africa, leopards do. She's got it all wrong. There was no contest for a winner to date Cat Noir because it never happened and Cat Noir may be charming to girls but his heart belonged to Ladybug.
"Wow, amazing" Panthera pretends to be fascinated.
"Yeah, great story" Blu Tembo hid his anger because he learned that elephants don't like to be told what to do and they would never be obedient to humans.
"Anyways, as much as we wanna hear more. Me and my partner have to go. See ya" Panthera jumps on the roof, trying to breathe out from all the anger.
"Yeah, me too," Blu Tembo said once away from Lila.
He jumps up to the rooftop, noticing Panthera scratching the chimney bricks in anger, "Cómo se atreve ella?! Mis jaguares no son de África!"
"You know her?" Blu Tembo asked.
"No, but I can tell she was lying. Gatito would never date any girl but his only mariquita" Panthera said.
"Oh, thank god. I was worried you would believe her lies because I don't. My elephants may be gentle to humans but not too obedient. We need to follow her. I have a feeling she's more than a liar" Blu Tembo said.
"Si, amigo. We have to" Panthera nodded.
They saw her in the alley removing her wig to brush off crap, revealing her real short dark brown hair. She then removed her green contact lens to reveal her real eye color.
Panthera gasped but Blu Tembo quickly covered her mouth to not make a sound. He hushed her quietly before resuming to spy on her.
"Shhhhhh" They saw her put the wig back on.
Panthera felt the urge to claw her but could not give out her violence to a stranger.
"Let's keep following her" Blu Tembo whispered.
"No, we already know she's a liar. We cannot cause a lot of trouble. In my home country, I've seen what pathological liars can really do. No one is gonna believe us, Chico. We just have to keep this to ourselves" Panthera said.
"Fine then" Blu Tembo replied.
"I just hope Ladybug and Cat Noir doesn't fall for her lies," Panthera said.
(End of Flashback)
"We got to help them before they kill them!" Blu Tembo said.
"Kill who?" Raptor man asked.
"Oh, shit. They are heading to the T. Rex family!" Blu Tembo said
"Hurry!" Panthera ran.

Ladybug and Cat Noir still haven't found them yet but the feline's ears flickered at the sound of a roaring in distress instead of evil.
"That sounds like a in distress!" Ladybug heard her.
"Basta!"
"Det räcker!"
As the heroes came closer, they saw the heroes running out through the trees from something. It almost felt like they were getting away from something or something chasing them.
"RUN! MOVE YOUR ASSES OUT OF HERE!" Blu Tembo panicked.
"NO TIME FOR HAPPY REUNION! CORRE! Panthera running past them in panic!
"Huh?" The Paris heroes glance at what's chasing them.
A large herd of dinosaurs came running out of the forest, sauropods and smaller dinos running beside them.
"God almighty!" Cat Noir grabs Ladybug's hand to get the hell out of there.
"ROAAAAAAAR!" The akumatized Spinosaurus came running.
"There you all are!" Chrysalis cackled.
"What the heck?!" Ladybug saw her.
"Who the hell are you?!" Cat Noir said.
They didn't have time to hear when the dinosaurs made the trees tumble and they continued to run with the country heroes.
"There's something mi Chico and I should've told you months ago!" Panthera screamed and dodged the falling trees.
"But this isn't the moment right now!" Blu Tembo yelled and jumped on the triceratops for a ride, "Grab on!" He reached out for his partner.
Panthera jumps up with Cat Noir and Ladybug joining. Raptor man ran at full speed next to them.
Time has went very slow to check for the dangers of the stampede. He saw Spino King ramming through some apatosaurs and stegosaurs to try to get the heroes. He had to knock Chrysalis off that monster before she tried something evil to command it. So he ran up to the spinosaurus and once up at normal speed punched her off the dinosaur. Chrysalis landed in a mud puddle on the ground.
The mother was trying to save her babies from getting crushed by the stampede but she couldn't push all the dinosaurs aside at once. There were too many of them. Raptor Man knew what he had to do but he needed help. Blu Tembo sees the baby t-rexes scared and helpless while the mama is roaring in distress to get through.
"We have to turn around!" Blu Tembo jumps off.
"What?!" Ladybug saw him heading for the .
"Chico, espera!" Panthera jumps from one dinosaur to another.
"They are going for the mom!" Cat Noir figured.
"Yes! Let's help them!" Ladybug turns the triceratops around.
Blu Tembo jumps from one dinosaur to another to get to the babies before the rock they are underneath won't hold them that long.
"Please blowhorn. Give me a t-rex singing roar!" He blew his horn.
And as he blew it, the elephant's growling noise got the mother's attention.
The heroes managed to grab all three babies at a time before the brachiosaurus crushed the rock.
"Thank goodness" Cat Noir cradled one baby , "Shh…shh…..You're okay"
"Looks like you're still a natural with babies," Ladybug said.
"Tranquilo, tranquilo, chiquito" Panthera calms the baby from being scared.
The mother soon approached with Blu Tembo sitting on her head.
"Gudars det var intensivt" He said in Swedish.
"English, please," Cat Noir said.
"God it was intense," Blu Tembo said in English.
"Si, it was. Uhhhh…..Chico. Please tell me she's not here to eat. That growling doesn't sound friendly" Panthera gulped at the mother telling them to back away from her babies.
"We better do as she says" Ladybug let go of the baby rex she was holding.
Blu Tembo jumps off the adult . The babies didn't want to leave their saviors as they licked their cheeks. Their mother then gave them a thankful nod for saving them. She softly growls to tell her kids to come and they do as they head in the jungle.
"Heh, a mama really does care for her kids," Blu Tembo said.
"Hello, heroes!" Chrysalis was back on the Spino King.
"Who the hell?" Ladybug said.
"Aww…such a shame that Ladybug never told you anything, kitty cat?" Chrysalis said.
"What are you talking about?" Cat Noir asked.
"The day your lady fought Monarch alone at the Agreste mansion but never told you specifically how it really happened because you weren't there to witness it," Chrysalis said.
"She told me that she and Gabriel fought Monarch at the cost of his life!" Cat Noir yelled.
"That's incorrect. Monarch is Gabriel!" Chrysalis said.
It made the feline freeze but shook it off that it could be a lie, "You're bluffing!" Cat Noir didn't believe her.
"I was there to witness all of it. They both lost the butterfly miraculous that fell deep into the waters of the sewers and that's how I found it. Your lady thought he could change but instead, he tricked her and he made the wish" Chrysalis said.
Cat Noir glanced at Ladybug, "Milady, is this true?"
"It's you! You're the Italian liar that day you tried to gain our trust!" Panthera recognizes that nature of hers.
"Stop playing tricks in Cat Noir's head!" Blu Tembo yelled.
"So you figured it out?" Chrysalis said.
"Lila?!" Ladybug recognized her.
"A liar that was wearing a wig the entire time like a disguise bitch! Puta!" Panthera snarled.
"And wearing eye contact colors to fool everyone," Blu Tembo said.
"Ladybug, tell me what really happened between Gabriel and Monarch? You lied to Adrien, didn't you?" Cat Noir wanted to know the truth but Ladybug did not want to break Gabriel's promise.
"It's complicated" Ladybug saw he was getting serious.
"NOW!" He almost snapped and it made his lady hyperventilate from his angry tone.
"Look at her. So afraid to tell the truth. And you call me a liar when you also lied to your kitty cat" Chrysalis cackled.
"Gabriel made the wish to bring his wife back and sacrificed himself to keep the universe balanced! He told me to tell Adrien to not tell him of his father being the villain and instead that he remembers the times he tried to be a good father! Those were his last words before the wish took his life away!" Ladybug said out loud.
Cat Noir was baffled by the truth and he glared at his lady for keeping secrets from him again. He fled into the jungle to be alone since he was too angry at the truth.
"Gatito!" Panthera went after him.
Blu Tembo glared at Chrysalis for ruining this again, "You bitch! You really are worse than that monster!" He jumps up and punches her down with her dinosaur, but Ladybug runs off in deep sadness into the jungle, away from Cat Noir's location.
"LADYBUG STOP!" Blu Tembo saw her leave.

In the jungle, Ladybug detransformes and pounds the ground in anger and sadness, "Damn you, Lila! You ruined everything!"
Why couldn't she tell anyone the truth when instead she always keeps the problems and secrets to herself?
"Adrien's gonna hate me for this. I'm never gonna forgive myself for this" She removes her earrings, "That Elephant and Jaguar can defeat Lila on their own" She goes through the jungle.
"Ladybug?" Blu Tembo saw her true identity.

Cat Noir was near the waterfall, trying to process. His lady knew who was Monarch the whole time and never told him anything the same way she never told him anything ever since the Strikeback incident and Flairmidable stealing her yo-yo to gain access to all her miraculous and traded them to Gabriel. It all made sense why Felix knew that his uncle was Shadow Moth. And now Lila has the butterfly miraculous to finish what Gabriel couldn't do.
"Claws in" He detransformed and nearly removed his ring.
"Whoa, whoa! Kid! Please don't do that again!" Plagg stopped him.
"You knew Monarch was my father, didn't you?" Adrien glared.
"Yes, but it was for your own mentality. We didn't want you to go insane from the shock" Plagg said.
"Telling the truth would be nice! Do you have any idea how long I've been lied to and manipulated in my whole teenage life?!" Adrien turns around and takes a breather to calm down, "You have no idea what that's like, Plagg. Milady always keeps secrets from me again. I'm sick and tired of being left in the dark again"
"Gatito?" Panthera saw his true identity and jumped down along with her dad.
"This is him you admired?" Raptor Man asked.
"Callete" Panthera said to shush her father, "You're Adrien Agreste?"
"Was until I got hurt mentally, again" Adrien sighs, "I cannot handle secrets again"
Panthera can see how upset he is, "Clawws, let's rest" She detransformed to show him her true identity, "Gatito, you can't be angry at her. She was trying to protect your feelings. I know your lady can be….stubborn…..at times to focus on the mission. Whatever trauma she went through, she probably didn't want history to repeat all over again. If you can tell me your trauma, I'm listening. If not, I'll wait until you're ready" Luna said before taking her leave to let Adrien have more time.
"Wait" He stopped her, "I think I do need a friend to talk to. I remember you that day at the zoo" Adrien said.
"I'm all cat ears, gatito" Luna sits on the log with him while her dad keeps an eye out for danger.
"Ever since my mom disappeared, my dad has been strict to me and…..well….all he cares about is me being perfect for his Gabriel brand company and I was forced to be obedient" Adrien explained his past life.
"I'm so sorry to hear that, Adrien. But Ladybug's gone into the jungle as well, feeling guilty for keeping the secret about Monarch and your father being the same person" Luna said.
Adrien sighs and continues to talk, "Anyways, my father has always been pressuring me all the time. He thinks I'm not like everyone else and I had enough of him when I ran to go to public school to socialize and make some friends since I didn't have any, except Chloe"
"Chloe the bruja brat?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, her. Months went by ever since I became Cat Noir given by a Chinese old man and that's when I met Milady. We became partners, saved the day, and deakumtize the victims. But when Milady became the guardian of the miraculous, it changed her as she neglected me the same way my father did to me. I was upset that she knew the rest of our teammates' identities but not mine. She was afraid I would get akumatized but me and her never got akumatized" Adrien said, feeling upset at his lady keeping secrets from him could result in ruining their friendship.
Luna can see how upset he is with secrets, "Gatito, you're not the only one with that problem. I also happened to once have a friend I could trust but she used me, manipulated my trust, and took credit for my hard work. I promised myself that I would never make a friend ever again. Sometimes being alone is a way for me to not get hurt all over again but at the cost of isolation like you went through with your father" Luna explained her past life and kept her anger in, "But I cannot let my insecurities stop me from trying again. When I came to Paris to study animals at the zoo for my college work, I met a guy who changed my life. He defended me from Chloe for insulting me and making fun of where I'm from. I never had anyone defend me my whole life. I found a true friend I could trust and I forgot my trauma past" Luna explained her trauma.
"That's something. But how am I supposed to trust Ladybug again for lying to me and the world about my dad being the monster? Ladybug was right, she's a horrible guardian" Adrien asked.
"You just tell her how you feel. I know it's tough to trust again, but you can't let guilt eat her up like comida. We both have complicated fathers you know. You had a strict dad, I had a dead father when I was 10 and found him here at the center of the earth alive. We both never had great lives but we both found a way to help our lives. Whatever your mariquita went through, have her talk about it. I know superheroes with secret identities are not supposed to reveal but…we did kinda broke that rule from her by revealing to each other who we are" Luna chuckled a little that she got to know who her idol is.
"You're right. With Lila as the butterfly holder, she might take advantage of her guilt" Adrien said, then realized, "Where's Blue Elephant?"
"Um, actually, there's something I need to tell you. When me and elephant guy almost fell for her lies, we found out that she wore a wig and eye contacts. Lila is probably not her name" Luna explained.
"What?! Well, that figures why she never went to gym classes, because her wig would fall off" Adrien puzzled it together.
"I don't know why she likes to lie but being a liar can destroy a person's own life when they pretend to be something they are not, especially getting estranged and left all alone with no one. And your father, I always knew he was a jerk but I never expected he would control your life like that. That's not what a father would do to their kids" Luna hands him an apple for him to eat, "I know he's your father but a father is supposed to take responsibility as a parent, not lock them in the dark. I can't believe he would do something that's completely madness"
Adrien eats his apple, "Not only was he a bad father, but I met his brother the other day. Which happens to be my uncle. What I learned is that my father is not Gabriel Agreste. His real name was Gabi Grassette"
"Que?!" Luna exclaimed.
"Yes, he's more of a fraud than ever," Adrien said.
"What kind of monster would lie to the world by changing his name? And your uncle is down here? My dad told me he's insane and crazy for going after the dinosaur and prehistoric mammal miraculous" Luna said.
"It's true," Raptor Man said.
"I don't know but I never met my uncle until now. Wait, you feel that?" Adrien felt quiet tremors like a dinosaur bigger than the T-rex was coming closer with each loud footsteps.
"It's the Spinosaurus" Luna said.
But it was proven wrong when it turned out to be a Therzinosaurus roaming.
"False alarm, it's not the Spinosaurus," Adrien said.
"What the hell is that then? It has longer claws than ours" Luna can see it's smelling them.
"Don't worry, studies say it's a herbivore" Adrien said.
