Marinette was outside of Chloe's dressing room, tapping her foot impatiently, "Come on Chloe! I made your new look for you, the least you can do is let me see what it looks like on you!" She called out.
"Easy, Marinette! I'm almost done! I'm just, a little nervous is all." Chloe called out from the other side of the door.
"Come on, I'm sure you'll look great!" Marinette called out with a smile. "I made sure your new look will look amazing, so come on out and let's see the new you." She insisted.
Chloe sighed and then walked out, wearing an outfit a far cry from her old one. In place of her yellow jacket was a purple long coat, a black shirt instead of her white striped shirt, silverish gray skirt and black ankle-high wedged shoes and her hair in a lower loose ponytail over her shoulder.
"Well, how do I look?" Chloe asked.
Marinette gave a smile and two thumbs-up. "You look amazing, Chloe. I told you, you have nothing to worried about." She said.
Chloe gave a light blush as she look at her new clothes. "Well, it certainly different than going all yellow." She commented. "And you're right, purple does fight me better." She said.
"I figure you'd like to move pass your Queen Bee phase and give you a brand new color." Marinette stated. "Now, you really are a whole new Chloe." She declared.
"Yeah, a whole new me." Chloe said with a small smile. "I hope the others will think the same way."
"Oh I'm sure they will. It is my handiwork after all." Marinette said with an assuring smile. "And I'm sure Daniel will think the same way." She added with a teasing smirk.
Chloe gave a blush from the mention of Daniel. "Yeah, I hope so." She said while rubbing her head sheepishly. "So, did you give Adrien a call yet?"
Marinette widen her eyes as she then pulled out her phone, "Oh my gosh, I forgot!" She exclaimed and dialed Adrien, "Hi, Adrien." She said with a nervous smile.
"Hi, Marinette. How are you doing?" Adrien asked with a warm smile.
"Oh, just fine! Guess what I'm calling for: nothing! Can you believe it? I'm calling you randomly, totally out of the blue, for no reason at all!" Marinette said with a nervous smile before Chloe place a hand over her shoulder.
"Marinette, take it easy. Just take a breather and try and just be honest with him." Chloe said with a soft smile. "Just tell him what you've been doing."
Marinette took a deep breath and she calmed down, "Well, I'm just at Chloe's, helping her out with her new outfit." She explained.
"That's great. I'm glad you two are finally getting along," Adrien said as the girls smiled at each other, "So, did you wanna hang out somewhere or?"
"Well, uh, yeah! Sure! I mean, if you want to, you don't have to but I would like you to," Marinette rambled as she tried to think of a good place to hang out. Chloe then brought up a picture of the new space jet made by Tsurugi Industries that would be presented today, "Hey, the new space jet is being launched today. Max's mother is chosen to test it out." She suggested.
"Oh yeah, Max must be excited to see his mother in space. I heard that we're gonna live chat with her in school." Adrien said with a smile.
"Yeah, and maybe after school, we can go out and maybe spend time in the park?" Marinette asked while feeling nervous.
"Sounds great. Well, I'll see you at school, though my father's been feeling a little tired lately, so I might be a little late," Adrien said in a bit worried.
"Oh, I hope he's okay." Marinette said in concern after she and Chloe heard that.
"I hope so too. See you at school." Adrien said.
"See ya, Adrien." Marinette said as they ended the call as Marinette took a breath. "I did it, I actually did it," She said as she sank down to her knees like she just ran a marathon across Paris.
Chloe rolled her eyes and lifted up the exhausted Marinette, "Come on Juliet, we're gonna be late for school." She said as she dragged Marinette out of the room to meet with Sabrina.
A little bit later, the two girls made it to school, along with Sabrina riding them, as Marinette is still surprise at what she did. "I can't believe I actually asked Adrien out on a date," She said as she, Chloe and Sabrina stepped out of Chloe's limo.
"That was really brave of you, Marinette." Sabrina said with a proud smile. "It must've took a lot of courage to make sure you didn't faint."
"She almost did," Chloe said, carrying her own bag for a change, "But still huge step forward in your relationship."
"Well, it's a start. Considering I kept freaking out or breaking down when I so much look at him." Marinette added with a light blush.
"Don't worry so much, it's just a simple trip to the park, nothing's more simple than that," Sabrina said as they walked to their classroom, "Now be ready, because I think the others will be surprised to see your new look, Chloe. And Adrien will be looking at you, Marinette." She advise with a smile.
Chloe sighed, "Well, guess it's time that people see the new me. So let's face the music." She said.
"Together." Marinette said with a comforting hand on Chloe as Sabrina did the same, which made Chloe smiled as they entered the classroom together.
Once inside, they saw their friends seated together before they turned and saw the three girls walk in, and were surprised by Chloe's new look. "Wow. Now there's something you don't see everyday. Chloe Bourgeois and Marinette Dupain-Chang walking in class together and not tearing each other apart." Nino said with a smile.
"I know, it's still unreal." Alya added with a slight chuckle as the others smiled at the three.
"Hey, Chloe, love the new look." Kim said with a smile.
"Purple is so your color," Juleka commented.
"Thanks, Marinette made it for me." Chloe said with a smile. "She's definitely got talent."
"I'll say. Marinette is the best at fashion." Adrien said, which made Marinette blushed a bit with a smile.
"Thanks. It's all a matter of listening to what people need, seeing what their heart desires and then the rest falls into place," Marinette said as they all took their seats.
"Alright class, as you all know, Max's mother is going into space on a newly develop rocket jet. So we'll take some time before class to ask her questions before she takes off." Ms. Bustier said with a smile as they all cheered in excitement.
"Max, you must be proud that your mother is finally going into space, in a non akumatized space-train, off course," Rose said, remembering their trip to London and it ended up being a trip to the stars.
"Well, she is the best. And she always dream of going into space. And I calculated that she is have a 100% of a good time." Max said with a smile. "Now, let's talk before she gets too out of range." He said as they each brought out a laptop.
They went into a video chat were they saw Claudie Kanté already inside the rocket jet while in the cockpit, while the Zodiac group screen showed up since they're friends with them as well. "Hi, son, hi children! You're just in time to call."
"Hi, Mom." Max said with a wave.
"Hi Mrs. Kanté." They all said.
"Ms. Kanté, it's nice to finally meet you. We heard from Max that you were wanting to be an astronaut. And looks like you are finally in space." Daniel said with a greeting smile.
"Oh, it's a dream come true, kiddo. And this is just a test run." Claudie said excitedly, "In space, the jet will be flying at well over six thousand miles per hour!"
"Wow, now that's fast." Sam said in amazement.
Marinette then raised her hand. "Yes, Marinette?" Claudie asked.
"You said the space jet was equipped with artificial intelligence. Can you explain how it works?" Marinette asked excitedly.
"Of course, Marinette. You're right. I haven't introduced ADA yet." Claudie said as she turned to her front. "In fact, I'll let her introduce herself." She said as the screen move in front of her cockpit to show a friendly head.
"Hello. I am ADA. Affective Decision Assistance system." ADA greeted.
"In a way, ADA is like my little sister." Markov said in a friendly expression.
"More like your updated, improve sister. Ha-ha." ADA teased with a chuckle.
"That's what all little sisters say." Markov said with a laugh.
"I like her. That's some programming, Ms. Kanté." Kara commented with a laugh.
"Why thank you. She's a great A.I." Claudie said with a fond smile.
Marinette then turned to Max in surprise. "You wrote a program for Mrs. Tsurugi's space jet?" She asked.
"No, I made Markov's tech available and free on the Internet and Tsurugi Industries decided to use it." Max explained.
"Max, you are full of surprises. You gotta show us that app later." Jacob said in interest.
"Sure thing." Max said.
"Thanks to special sensors spread all across the jet, ADA can track my presence and everything I'm feeling." Claudie explained while showing the controls.
"Did you bring a swimsuit?" Kim asked before his friends all laughed at him. "What? I heard there were pools on Mars." He said.
"I'm sorry, Kim, but there aren't any pools on Mars." Claudie started to explain in slight amusement.
With the Zodiac group, they are listening to to Claudie with the others in their own class room since they wanted to see as well. "Just water in the form of ice." Claudie continued.
"In that case, I don't see the point in going there." Kim said in disappointment.
"Kim, I don't think Mrs. Kanté is going to Mars." Jacob commented with a grin.
"Wait, really?" Kim asked in surprise.
"At least not yet." Claudie said. "We're doing all these tests so we can go there someday. Today for example, we'll be testing how to pilot and an AI like ADA can support each other during stressful situations. This will be very helpful for a trip to Mars." She explained.
"All right! So that's when you'll be taking your swimsuit." Kim said as he stood up and show off his swimtrunks he is wearing, which caused his friends and the Zodiac Team to laugh from that.
"Kim, you're a riot." Molly said in amusement.
Daniel however, feels a strange sensation. "That's strange." He muttered.
"Dan, Kim is always funny. That's not strange, but with what we've seen, watch out." Kara said with a chuckle.
"No, it's not that. I don't know what, but it feels like we've been through this before." Daniel said in thought.
"What are you talking about? We just started seeing this." Sam pointed out in confusion.
Daniel rubbed his head in confusion, 'I swear we've already seen this before, am I having Deja-vu or something?' He thought to himself.
"Claudie, I'm sensing that you're emotionally ready, enthusiastic and confident." ADA spoke up, bringing Daniel out of thought. "Initiating test sequence."
"Let's do this, ADA. Test number one." Claudie said as they all heard the engines powering down as they all saw her moving around and the cockpit turned read.
"My sensors can detect your stress accurately, Claudie, and, at this point, you are no longer able to maneuver the aircraft safely." ADA explained as she steadied the jet. "I'm talking command." They heard the engines powered back up as it took off into space. "Your stress level is back to normal so I'm relinquishing control back to you."
"Test number on is a success." Claudie announced as they all started cheering for her.
Daniel still having a strange thought. "Why do I get the feeling that she will eject from the jet and ADA catching her?" He asked in confusion.
"What makes you say that?" Molly asked as she and the others turned to him in confusion.
"Because I feel like this happened already," Daniel answered in confusion.
"Congratulations, ADA. And now, on to test number two." Claudie said as she ejected from her jet and floated into space.
"The sensors in your suit tell me you've ejected out of your aircraft, Claudie. I'm bringing you back." ADA said as she steer the jet to where Claudie is as she landed back into the cockpit.
"You see? That's exactly what I said was gonna happen." Daniel said as he was surprise and shock by how he knew what would happen while his friends are stun by what Daniel predicted.
Jacob looked at Daniel in confusion "But how could you? It's not like you can see the future." He said.
"No. But it feels like we've already been through this." Daniel said while rubbing his chin. "It's like Deja-vu, but, many times repeatedly."
"You mean this happened before?" Kara asked.
Huanglong then peeked his head out, "Young Master, I sense there is a snake in the grass," He whispered.
Daniel raised a brow, "Snake in the grass?" He asked before he realized what his Kwami is saying. "Wait, Monarch is using the Miraculous of the Snake?!" He asked in shock while whispering.
"It appears so. He must be using Sass's power to repeat the point in time he chooses," Haunglong guessed.
"But how do I know? I thought only the person with the Snake Miraculous could remember events." Daniel stated in confusion.
"As I said Young Master, your miraculous gives dominion over the other Miraculous powers, ergo you are some what immune to their abilities," Haunglong said as Daniel listened in amazement.
"Congratulations, A.D.A.!" Caudie complimented, turning Daniel's attention back to the screen.
"Claudie, where are you?" ADA asked, which made the others shocked. "I can no longer sense your vitals. Claudie?" ADA now got nervous.
"What? I'm here. ADA? ADA, can you hear me?" Claudie tried to get her AI.
"Test number two has failed." ADA said sadly. "The pilot was not recovered and is currently outside my range."
"ADA, no, I'm here!" Claudie called out as Max started typing on his computer.
"With no humans on board, I am resuming control of the craft." ADA said.
"Ada, my mom is still on board! The test was a success!" Max called out as he kept typing.
"Uh, guys, I think something must've shot off ADA's sensors." Sam said in worried.
"Meaning she is no longer able hear or sense Mrs. Kante's vitals." Markov concluded in worry as ADA Continued.
"Today, at 14:37, I lost my pilot in space. Test number two has determined that I am a dangerous invention. To protect humans from my failures, I will fly the Space Jet to the ends of the universe. For your safety, do not attempt to retrieve me. End of transmission." ADA said in sadness.
"WHAT?!" They all exclaimed in shock.
"Oh boy, things just got a whole lot worse!" Molly cried out.
"But you gotta admit, ADA is a very honorable AI." Sam commented while the others gave him a look, "Just saying," He shrugged in defense.
Max was seen typing frantically, "ADA! ADA! It's as if…she couldn't her anything!" He theorise.
"I'm 100% sure that someone hacked into the Space Jet remotely to cut off all the sensor's feedback circuits!" Markov hypothesized.
Sam furrowed his brows, "I'll give you three guesses who would do something like." He said, already knowing the suspect.
"Monarch." Daniel said seriously.
"Max, can you fix it?" Marinette asked as Max did some more typing as another screen showed.
"Welcome to the ADA system. Please enter your password." The computer said.
"I can't, I don't have the password to Tsurugi Industries!" Max cried out as he type in possible passwords he could think off. "I can't access the controls!"
Daniel furrowed his brow and stood, "Don't worry, I'm sure the Miraculous Heroes are already on the case." He said before they felt their phones vibrating and they opened them.
"Monarch alert! Monarch alert!" Everyphone or Alliance Ring said as Daniel brought out his phone as a video of Monarch on the Eiffel Tower was shown.
"Miraculous Heroes! You're going to have to choose: will you stop this huge meteorite threatening the people of Paris or rescue Claudie Kanté trapped inside her out-of-control space jet?" Monarch showed while showing a meteor coming their way as the Zodiac team look out the window and saw a bright glowing coming down at them. "Of course, you could also choose to surrender your miraculous me, and save everyone by letting me help you." He finished as the Zodiac team all glared.
"Like that's ever gonna happen." Jacob said firmly.
Daniel suddenly has flashes in his head, showing Ladybug and Cat Noir in space with the Zodiac Team, having obtain powerups from Marinette to go into space, with Cat Noir dealing with the Astroid while the rest of them are fighting the jet, which is now somehow read before Cat Noir was caught in a shield made by Shellter and was paralyzed as Monarch appeared behind him and reached for his ring.
Daniel was snapped back into reality a he shook his head. "This is all of Monarch's plan to get the Miraculous. He hacked into the jet to get us into space so he could find the perfect chance to get the Miraculous." He said as the others looked to him in shock, "Don't ask me how I know because even I don't."
"What matters is that we have to go into space and save Claudie and stop that meteor." Molly said. "If we don't, her and ADA will be out of range."
Daniel stood up as he raised his hands. "Excuse me, teach, but is it okay if we check in on our friends? Max might be worried out of his mind for his mother." He asked.
"Well, that is his mother, so, sure. You can go to him." The teacher said in understanding.
"Thanks you." Daniel said as he and his friends rushed out of the classroom.
They made it to an empty room with no one around. "Okay, I don't know if all of our team should go, but at least we won't draw suspicions. Time to transform!" Daniel exclaimed. "Huanglong, Heavens Ascend!"
"Bahiu, Earth rise!"
"Qinlong, Wind rage!"
"Xuan Wu, Water flow!"
"Nan Fang, Fire it up!"
The Zodiac all exclaimed as they transform into their hero forms and ran out the school.
A little bit later, the team gather at the rooftop in front of the butterfly face of Monarch, as they all stared at Monarch with serious look before they saw Ladybug and Cat Noir flying by in their Astro forms.
"You two sure powered up quickly." Carapace commented.
"Sorry if we took so long, but we have to double back to get some more powerups for you guys." Cat Noir explained while he and Ladybug.
"Great, but we all shouldn't just go." Dragold said. "We would risk leaving Paris unguarded if Monarch decided to akumatized someone down here."
"So who gets to stay while who gets to go into space?" Rooster Bold asked.
"I'll go into space." Pegasus said immediately with his hand raised. "That's my mother up there. I am not letting her get lost in space."
"Well, that's one." Dragold said before he turned to the others. "Anyone else, we need all the help we can get." He said as he saw the rest of his Zodiac team, Carapace, Purple Tigress, King Monkey and Ryuko raising their hands. "Looks like we have our rescue team.
Ladybug looked to Caprikid, "Caprikid, your incharge till we get back." She instructed.
Carpikid saluted, "I'm on it!" He said.
"Okay, guys. Time for you all to power up." Cat Noir said as he and Ladybug gave each of the chosen heroes the astro-powerups as they ate them.
"Power up!" The chosen space heroes exclaimed as they transform into their astro forms, sporting helmets and flying jet packs on them.
"Wow, now this is awesome!" Caspian exclaimed in excitement as he flew around with white bat-like wings.
"Who says turtles can't fly!" Carapace said while looking at his beetle-like wings.
"Preach brother!" Terrapin agreed as she looked at her wings, similar to Carapace's.
"Now a pegasus really could fly." Pegasus said, looking at his feather-like wings.
"Hehe, a purple tiger who has the sky for limits." Purple Tigress said, looking at her wings that were like Cat-Noir but in her colors.
"Sweet, a monkey who can now swing across the sky!" King Monkey exclaimed exactly as he had steam from his feet thrusters, making it look like he was riding a cloud.
"Now this is truly the Dragon's flight." Ryuko said while looking at her red dragon-like wings.
"Heh, the King of Dragons doesn't need any wings to fly," Dragold said as he suit was the only one without wings and just had a jet pack and boosters.
"Well, one of us already could fly, but this is pretty much an upgrade." Phoenix said as she look at her bigger fire-like wings on her back.
"Now this is what I'm talking about!" Hydrake said as his blue energy wings were on his arms rather than his back.
Cosmo Bug looked at her team with a smile before turning her attention to Monarch as she scanned the area and space with her helmet where the astroid is heading and Claudie's jet. "Astro cat, can you Cataclysm it?" She asked her partner.
"This could possibly be an illusion to waste our time." Astro Cat stated, feeling familiar with this trick with Lila when she was akumatized.
"We can't take that risk. We're just going to have to chance it. We'll deal with the space jet, you and Purple Tigress deal with the meteorite." Dragold instructed.
They all nodded as they split up. "We'll stay in touch!" Cosmobug told the earth team as they took off into space at high speed.
"Good luck guys!" Pigella called as she, Rooster Bold, Caprikid and Minotaurox waved to them.
In space, Dragolatic and the others were flying to the space jet as they flew very fast. "Mo-I mean, Mrs. Kante! Don't worry. We're gonna come up with a solution to get you out of there!" Pegastar called out.
"I don't want your help. I have failed." ADA said sadly, having sense the heroes from outside.
"ADA, you didn't fail. Claudie's inside the cockpit." Pegasus tried to reason. "You just can't detect her because your sensors have been shut down. Let's just go back to earth and fix you-"
"No, I don't need to be fixed. I need to disappear." ADA cried out as the heroes then saw the Megakuma enter the jet as she transformed into a giant robot as the heroes gasped.
"What the?!" Cosmopian exclaimed as they saw the robo jet take into balance stance. "Okay, now we know Monarch did this!"
"And looks like we're in for a space fight! Awesome!" Caraspace exclaimed as the heroes turned to him with a dull look. "What? I always wanted to fight in space." He said in defense.
They then saw the arm brining out a scanner as it scanned the heroes and got their signatures. "Miraculous heroes. Enemies identified." ADA said.
"Scatter!" Dragolatic ordered as they scattered.
"We're your friends, ADA!" Pegastar exclaimed.
"I am no longer ADA. I am Bugfighter, and I have no friends." Bugfighter stated.
"Uh, Cosmo Bug, Lucky charm now!" Meteor Monkey exclaimed.
"Lucky Charm!" Cosmo bug exclaimed as she tossed her yo-yo up, but Bugfighter blasted the yo-yo, canceling it out. "No!"
"Cosmo Bug, watch out!" Hydrake exclaimed as a hand grabbed Cosmo Bug and a claw was extending towards her.
"You guys get that Claw away from Cosmo bug and try to hold off that bot, I'll see if Astro Cat and Star Tigress might need some backup!" Dragolatic exclaimed. "Think you can keep this bot busy!"
"Sure! Why?" Rocket Ryuko asked.
"Trust me!" Dragolatic called as he flee off towards Astro Cat and Star Tigress, who used their powers push back the meteor with Clout and Cataclysm to destroy it so it would scatter across space.
Astro Cat and Star Tigress were caught in a shield around them before they were paralyzed as two hands reached out.
Dragolatic saw this and glared, "Oh no, you don't!" He called out before using his powers. "Domination!" He used his powers to cancel out the Shellter and the paralyzation before he rushed in and grabbed Monarch's arms. "Not this time!"
"What?!" Monarch yelled out through the portal as he tried to pull his arms back, but he wouldn't budge. "This shouldn't have happened! Not after the last attempts!"
"There's more to my powers than you think, Monarch!" Dragolatic yelled out.
Astro Cat and Star Tigress groaned as they got out of their paralyzation. "What happened?" Astro Cat asked.
"Monarch caught you two and was about to take your Miraculous." Dragolatic explained while still holding both arms of Monarch before he saw his snake ring was beeping. "I knew it."
"The Snake Miraculous!" Star Tigress called out.
Dragolatic turned to Astrocat and Star Tigress, "Quick, hold him! Time for Vipereon to return!" He ordered as the other two heroes held Monarch's arms and he assumed Extraction stance, "Miraculous Extraction!" He called with his arms towards Monarch as he started drawing cyan energy through the portal.
Back on Earth, Monarch arms are through the portal as he struggled to break free, but then he felt cyan energy flowing out of him as he groaned in pain.
"No! No! Not again! Not this time!" Monarch called out before he fell to his knees, feeling the energy leaving him.
In Sass' cage, he started glowing while giving a smile. "No second chances for you this time, Monarch. I am finally free." He said as he glowed bright before he disappeared.
Back in space, Monarch's snake ring glowed brightly before a cyan ball of light shot out and Dragolatic caught it.
"I got him!" Dragolatic exclaimed, holding Sass and the snake Miraculous in his hands.
"Then let's get back to the others!" Astrocat suggested as they flew off to Bugfighter where the others are holding her off as best they could.
Cosmo bug is still struggling to get out of the claw while Caraspace went up to her. "Shellter!" He exclaimed, covering himself and Ladybug in a shield.
Pegastar flew close to the driver window, "Mo-Ma'am! We need all the help we can get to get ADA back in control of herself!" He called to his mother.
"But the only way to do that is to turn her sensors back on to know I'm still with her." Claudie said as she grabbed a hammer beside her. "I'm going out to see if I can pull those wires off the jet to get ADA to notice I'm here."
"You sure it will work?" Pegastar asked in concern.
Claudie turned and smiled at Pegastar, "Trust me, son." She said encouragingly.
Pegastar gaped in shock at what she said before Claudie smashed the windshield and jumped out of Bugfighter.
"Internal damage detected. Monarch, how could my windshield break, if there's no one inside?" Bugfight questioned as Pegastar and Claudie went behind the jet and started ripping out the wires.
"She can't detect Claudie! That's the flaw!" Cosmo Bug exclaimed.
"So we have a chance!" Meteor Monkey exclaimed.
"I'm not detecting any asteroid around, but I am picking up the vibrations of deceit." Bugfighter noted, after talking to Monarch before she gasped. "Is Claudie still here?" She asked hopefully.
Claudie pulled out the last of the wires as the robot shut down. "Yes, she is!" Phoenix exclaimed as the heroes regroup.
"Monarch, you lied to me!" Bugfighter shouted before she struggled and rejected the Akuma, purifying it and turning back into a jet.
Cosmo Bug grunted a bit as held her side, "Milady, you okay?" Astrocat asked as he held her.
"Sorry, Bugfighter had a really tight grip," Cosmo Bug grunted, "I think she might've broken something, and I don't have a Lucky Charm."
Terraroid flew over, "Don't worry. I can fix that." She said as she place her hands on Cosmo Bug's back. "Recovery!" She exclaimed, using her powers to heal Cosmo Bug as it energy circled around her.
Cosmo Bug sigh in relief as the pain was gone before turning to Terrariod. "Thanks, Terrariod. You're powers are a one girl walking recovering team."
"Happy to help." Terraroid smiled as Dragolatic floated to them, "Did you get another Miraculous?" She asked.
"Does this answer your question?" Dragolatic said while showing the bracelet and Sass in his hands. "This explains the serious case of Deja-Vu I had earlier."
"Deja-Vu?" Cosmo Bug asked in as she and the others were confused.
"I'll explain once we get back to earth, since this is a very bad place to de-transform." Dragolatic reminded them.m that they were in space.
"Right. It would be pretty bad if we turn back here," Caraspace said in agreement as did the others.
"Claudie? Are you there?" ADA asked as Claudie turned to the jet.
"I'm here, ADA. Can you hear me?" Claudie asked her AI with a small smile.
"I hear you, Claudie. My systems seemed to be back online somehow." ADA said with a sound of relief. "I'm glad that you're okay, Claudie."
"And I'm glad you're okay too, ADA." Claudie said as she floated to the space jet, which the windshield was fixed up and she climbed in and the heroes held on as Claudie flew them back to Earth.
A little bit later, the heroes were all in the Miracle Den, having recharged their Kwamis and speaking to the rest of the team.
"So, Monarch has been using Second Chance since the first Akuma attack but your Miraculous manage to make you partially immune to the time loop?" Ladybug asked Dragold in amazement.
"That sounds about right." Dragold said with a shrug. "It seems my Miraculous has more powers than I realize. Like my Kwami said, there's more to it then I thought." He stated while looking at his amulet.
"I can't believe Monarch was using Second Chance so many times." Rooster Bold commented.
"And yet, he still lost every time." Cat Noir said as he gave a laugh. "Is Monarch that unluckily or what?"
Phoenix gave Cat Noir a curious look, "Maybe the Cataclysm injury you gave him is messing up the power of Second Chance," She suggested.
"From what Cat Noir said, it must be making him more and more weaken each time he used it." Hydrake added.
"Well, Sass' powers can turn back time for the world, but not the user, since they'll remember every event that has occur." Luka said to them, knowing who Sass works.
"Well, Monarch might have all the Miraculous, but he has zero imagination on how to use them," Caspian said with a smirk.
"And we have Sass back." Dragold said as he took out the snake Miraculous and gave it to Luka. "And I believe Viperion is ready to make a comeback, Luka." He said with a smirk.
Luka smiled and put on the bracelet and looked at the Kawmi in his hands, "Ready to rock, Sass?" He asked the Snake Kawmi.
"I am happy to say I am, how do you say, ready to roll, Luka." Sass said before his stomach growled. "But uh, maybe after having a snack." He suggested.
"Don't worry, Sass. I got ya covered." Luka said with a smile and taking out some snacks for Sass.
The others smiled before Ladybug gave a concern look. "What is it, Ladybug?" Hydrake asked after noticing her expression.
"I'm just wondering, if Monarch was Cataclysmed and was using second chance more times, wouldn't that mean he's getting even more sicker?" Ladybug asked.
The others looked at each other, never even thinking about that, "So what?" Caspian said with his arms crossed, "He was willing to get Max's mother lost in space forever, he can rot for all I care,"
The others looked at him in surprise, "Dude, cold." Carapace said.
"Caspian, we're trying to help people, not let them suffer. While Monarch would care less about someone else's life, we're bog like him, we help all people, even those who don't deserve it." Dragold said firmly.
Caspian looked at their firm looks while also looking down. "Sorry, but Monarch did that to himself. He's causing his own suffering. Besides, even if we wanted to help him, may I remind you that he's somewhere we don't know yet."
Luka looked at Sass who just finished eating, "Sass, are you sure you don't remember anything about Monarch? Anything we can use to track him down?" He asked.
Sass tried to think as he remembered something, "Well, I remember that Monarch did hack into that vessel's systems but rather was given the key by another individual." He said.
"But that's impossible. The firewalls on the jet were made in Tsurugi Industries, only the top level people would know information like that." Cat Noir said.
Dragold thought for a moment, "The only people who would know something like that were Max's mother, my mother and…" He stopped himself as he realized his mother would never put someone in danger so that left…
Ryuko came to the same conclusion as she was horrified at the only possible suspect. "No…" She muttered. "It can't be…"
The others realized it as well, "Tomoe Tsurugi, could be working for Monarch?" Ladybug gasped as the others were shocked by this.
Ryuko clenched her fist as she took out her sword and screamed as she slashed the wall, "That snake! She helped that monster turn Longg into his slave! Turned me into his puppet!" She yelled in rage, while the others flinch as she kept slashing the wall. "She manipulated me! Used me like a…. Pawn!" She then started to cry as she stop slashing and fell to her knees as she began to cry. "Why mother?…Why?" She weeped.
The others look at Ryuko in sympathy, seeing that she is more heartbroken then when she was akumatized as Ladybug walked up to her, "Kagami, I'm so sorry you had to learn about this." She said as she gave her a comforting hug, which Ryuko returned it as she cried before Cat Noir came in and hug her as well.
"But we also don't know for sure if she's really working for him." Cat Noir tried to assure as Ryuko kept weeping. "We'll try and find the full proof that she is an accomplice of Monarch."
Dragold nodded, "Exactly, for all we know someone else might be trying to use your mother as a scapegoat. We don't know for sure, but until we find more clues and evidences, we'll have to keep an eye on her." He said.
Ryuko sniffles miserably and looked to them, "But what if she is?" She asked in a weep.
"Then she'll pay," Caspian swore with a growl.
Ladybug held Ryuko's shoulder, "And don't think just because you're mother's a villain means you don't have family." She told her with a smile and gestured to the team, "You have us now, you'll never be alone." She said as the Miraculous Heroes all smiled.
Ryuko look at her friends as tears of joy are falling from her cheeks as they all brought her in a group hug with her in the middle. "I love you all," She cried with joy, happy to have great friends like them.
The Miraculous Team now had Sass and his Miraculous back and gained a possible associate of Monarch and though Kagami was at risk of losing a mother she would still have her family.
