As soon as the sound hit their ears the three goons were shocked to find themselves face to face with Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Rena Rouge with Carapace sneaking by undetected into the cage and reaching Felix just in time to protect them both from bullets with his ability.

"SHELLTER!" Carapace called forth.

Scarlet Dragon held in her relief as she fought with the bastard that had caused so much strife and chaos in many lives.

"Such a puny dragon!" The man scoffed as he sent a two bullets flying at Scarlet who simply sent deflected them with her sword with a growl before slashing at him.

Ladybug done with her goon completely then entered the cage quickly and entered the shellter thanks to her being the guardian. Ladybug then looked at Felix in concern.

"Can you move?" Ladybug asked.

Felix smiled awkwardly, "Not as freely as I would like but I can."

Ladybug smiled just as awkwardly as Rena and Chat joined them having finished their fights and Carapace went and hid before he transformed back.

"Then let's get out of here real quick. Scarlet Dragon is keeping that guy out of our way."

The heroes quickly helped get Felix up and the four of them quickly moved into hiding. Once there, Rena went to join her boyfriend having used her Mirage in battle and Ladybug having used her lucky charm in combat pulled the tiger miraculous out and handed it to Chat Noir.

"You'll know what should be done with this. I have to go before I change back." Ladybug said to him before running off.

Chat Noir looked at the miraculous and held it out towards Felix surprising Felix quite a bit.

"Felix Graham De Vanily, I have known you my whole life. You were always very rough around the edges, but Bridgette has been good for you. She's changed you in the best ways and there is no one I think could better wield this for this fight than you." Chat Noir said.

Felix looked hesitant.

"Felix, this is the miraculous of the tiger, which grants the power of Invulnerability. You will use it for the greater good and return it to Ladybug or me when the fight is done." Chat said kindly.

Felix hesitated only a second more before awkwardly accepting it and putting on the bracelet. Once it was on, it camouflaged nicely and Roaar came out.

"Hello! My name is Roaar, and just like Plagg I am a kwami. I help turn you into a tiger themed superhero. Your ability is called Hunting, it seeks out your opponent's weaknesses for you to exploit. It also strengthens the damage that your weapons will cause and makes you temporarily invulnerable to anything for 5 minutes. However when the five minutes are over you transform back. To detransform any time the phrase is CHASE OVER, to transform you just say START THE CHASE!" Roaar explained, "Oh and to recharge I eat burgers or other kinds of savoury meats are acceptable. Nothing else works for me."

Felix nodded with a smile.

Then he stuck his hand out in the air and said the words.

"For Bridgette, anything! Roaar, Start The Chase!" Felix beckoned.

Roaar quickly went into the miraculous and the transformation began.
The transformation started much like Adrien's own transformation into Chat Noir but instead of black and green it was purple with tiny black stripes and of course his eyes becoming more tiger like. After the ears, instead of stretching his arms out at his sides he stretched his right arm out into the air in a fist and his left arm stretched out down towards the ground in a graceful position his hand in a fist. In his fists appeared twin truncheons that were black with purple hand-holds. From there the magic seeped down his arms as Felix put the weapons in his holsters on his back that caused for the holsters to appear in a flutter of light. The magic then moved from his to the front of his body in swirling motions covering his upper body perfectly and then tracing out his belt like tail. After that he roundhouse kicked the air causing the magic to create his suit's boots and lower body portion of said suit. With that done he ran his hands through his already messy blonde hair and ended in somewhat of a fighting stand with hands raised and feet apart, but his new claws being showed off.

Felix glanced at himself in surprise.

"Strange, but alright." Felix said as he took in his appearance and Ladybug joined them.

When Ladybug went to say something Scarlet Dragon was heard calling forth her second element.

"WIND DRAGON!" Scarlet beckoned.

The three quickly rejoined the scene to find Rena, Carapace, and Scarlet fighting the guy with some difficulty. Scarlet handling it somewhat well despite now evident injuries before whenever she turned into wind, but the others clearly getting crushed. Chat Noir and Ladybug turned to Felix.

"What do you want to be called?" Ladybug asked.

Felix smirked, "Hunter Rogue."

The two quickly beamed and soon the three joined the fight just in time for Hunter Rogue to step in and quickly counterblock a hit from the bastard and keep Scarlet safe.
Scarlet's eyes almost widened but she quickly smothered any reaction and the two quickly focused on rejoining the fight. The moment Hunter found an opportunity he took it.

"HUNTING!" Hunter Rogue beckoned.

Ladybug quickly took the hint and followed suit, "LUCKY CHARM!"

Chat Noir skillfully caught on and followed the lead in perfect time, "CATACLYSM!"

Scarlet Dragon beckoned forth her last element at the perfect time, "WATER DRAGON!"

Rena Rouge acted quickly noticing their plan and Carapace only a second behind her.

"MIRAGE!"

"SHELLTER!"

Everything happened fast.

The first move to happen was Hunter Rogue landing three well aimed strikes on the bastard. The bastard then was sent flying back into Scarlet Dragon who quickly snatched a blackened pin from his person before entrapping him in a dome of violent and turbulent water. She then quickly sent the pin to Chat Noir who caught it in his cataclysm hand just as the bastard managed to go for Scarlet Dragon who quickly faded knocked him back with her sword a bit aways from them where Rena's mirage quickly appeared and confused the man when he snapped out of his daze from landing. Ladybug then quickly simultaneously caught the akuma (that had akumatized that bastard at some point during the raid) and moved Rena out of the way. Carapace immediately called his Shellter to appear around him, Ladybug, Scarlet and Hunter before the bastard could get to them and ladybug quickly purified the akuma giving Scarlet and Hunter the perfect opening to knock the bastard unconscious and tie him up nice and tight for the police.
Everyone panted tiredly as they heard the sirens headed their way and quickly agreed to separate and meet back up at the Notre Dame for Ladybug to collect the miraculous she lent out.

When the police entered the scene, all the kidnappers were dealt with enough to be taken away, the captive was missing, and a note was left on the man who was behind it all explaining everything he had orchestrated for the kidnapping, the attempts at the lives of at least three others, where the once captive civilian was taken by LB and CN after the raid, probable murder victims, and his involvement in a mafia.

All of which confirmed by Roger Raincomprix accurate.

When Scarlet and Hunter landed in an alley next to the hospital, their transformations dropped and they sighed in exhaustion as Bridgette exhaustedly removed her practically shredded and hole-riddled bullet proof vest.

"That was one hell of a ride." Felix commented tiredly as he leaned in pain against a wall.

Bridgette nodded, "It really was, I could go my whole life without living through that again."

Felix nodded, "I love you."

Bridgette blinked for a second before smiling happily at him, "I love you too, Felix."

Felix beamed back at her and she groaned in annoyance.

"God I hate that we're so freaking injured right now! Let's go!" She bemoaned before suddenly picking him up bridal style and running up to the hospital. When they entered through the doors of the emergency room, she immediately collapsed making sure of his safety before passing out. He followed suit but with a grateful smile.

When Alya got home, she quickly recharged Trixx and sighed.

"Are you alright, Alya?" Trixx asked as he ate.

Alya simply shook her head no, "Still just dealing with everything that happened today. I never thought about stuff like that happening out in the real world. I mean... It makes me reel just thinking that stuff like what I saw and experienced today happen often all around the world and even here in Paris."

Trixx smiled understandingly, "You know, that girl, Bridgette wasn't it? She seemed very knowledgeable on that kind of things and she seemed to be far past reeling. It might be worth a try talking to her about it."

Alya smiled gratefully, "You're right, Trixx. I think I will talk to Bridgette, when I first get the chance. Thanks, you're the best."

Trixx nuzzled her affectionately, "Anything for one of my favorite kits."

Alya laughed lightly but quietly and soon she transformed and went to go meet everyone with a new outlook on the world.

When Nino made it home and gave Wayzz some food he was visibly shaken by the events of the day, but not nearly as much as Alya had been.

"Are you alright, Nino?" Wayzz asked.

"Yeah, Dude... Just still pretty shocked by the stuff that went down earlier." Nino answered.

Wayzz smiled, "Well, Felix seemed pretty unsurprised by the situation and so did that girl Bridgette, perhaps they can help?"

Nino nodded with a smile and the two played one quick battle in Ultimate Mecha Strike before transforming and going to the meeting spot.

Adrien sighed tiredly as he made it to the hospital bathroom with his Father, Nathalie, and Arthur all going crazy in their relief of Felix having only two minor big injuries and a few tiny cuts grazing his skin. Adrien was exhausted from the entirety of the day. He had avoided injuries thanks to Scarlet having managed to somehow in the final scuffle take the man's attention off of him and Ladybug for the most part. But he had plenty of bruises and a few aches that were sure to last a good week at the least.

"Are you okay, Adrien?" Plagg asked his chosen with concern after confirming they were all alone.

Adrien smiled calmly, "Just really tired, Plagg. This entire day has been exhausting and I can't even imagine how tiring it must have been for the others. Especially Ladybug she still has to keep going. Plus, I almost killed that one goon I was fighting... It's a lot to process."

Plagg smiled kindly, a rare oddity, "I know, kid... But you'll be fine. Your instincts are hardwired to always protect your Ladybug. It's because ladybugs and chat noirs are always soulmates or family. In fact, the same things has happened to other chat noirs and even some ladybugs. The instinct is sometimes horrible, some chats haven't been able to cope with it, but for you kid? It's a good thing. You're a lot like my second favorite holder."

Adrien looked a bit surprised as he replied, "Who was your first and second favorite?"

Plagg kept his smile, "My favorite is you kid, you're a good kid and that's despite many many things. My second favorite was Alexander. He loved a lot just like you do, and unfortunately he made mistakes in his life that almost cost him his Ladybug and when it did, he began to become overrun by the darkness of the Miraculous of the Black Cat. His Ladybug paid with her life to stop him from reckoning chaos all over his kingdom but it also destroyed him as it had been too late. Their children were left orphaned. It was awful to watch that happen to them. They really had a chance. My advice kid? Don't stress about the instinct you experienced up close and personal today, don't let it overrun you but don't ignore it completely either. It's there for only one reason, to protect your ladybug just as Ladybug has an instinct to protect you. The Ladybug and Black Cat are yin and yang."

Adrien nodded in understanding.

Marinette sighed as she finally made it home, it had been exhausting to handle everything today, especially the instinct (murderous nonetheless) to protect Chat Noir. Even with Tikki having explained and assured her it was alright and of what to do about it. It was still slightly disorienting.

Then she remembered something else disconcerning.
Bridgette's response to her concerns and Bridgette's unexpected tattoos.
