We may not know what Cerise's motivations or her intentions are as the new Hawk Moth but this will be very new to us. We still don't know what scared her at the cliffhanger so we'll just pretend it never happened. Our characters will do the prologue of disappearing.

In Costa Rica, Panthera has saved the day again and is on vacation too, taking a break from college and enjoying herself in her mother's country. She was listening to her favorite song "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi.
She was hiking as herself while her jaguar kwami was exploring the rainforest.
"Home sweet home," Clawws said while flying.
Ever since the events of Monarch hacking into the worldwide alliance rings to miraculize millions of people, including Luna's country in Central America. Her people that wore the Alliance rings fell into Monarch's trap and got miraculized, she as Panthera did everything she could to remove all the rings and destroy them, praying to Ladybug and Cat Noir to defeat Monarch and succeeded. She once wore an Alliance ring but destroyed it when she almost fell into that trap. So now she's back to her iPhone.
Luna was swaying her body while walking and listening to the song "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. Being Latina makes her very wild like a jaguar.
"Hmm? Ah, hola Arenal" She saw the famous active volcano in her mother's country as she took a picture with her phone.
"It seems like it's not gonna erupt soon" Clawws noted the volcano wasn't billowing dark smoke clouds.
As she recalled earlier, it last erupted in 2010 and is now dormant or so they think it is.
"Let's take a closer look," Luna said, heading for the volcano.
"I don't think that's a good idea, my cub. Oh, hello there" Clawws noticed a slow-moving sloth on the tree. The sloth turned its head looking at the kwami.
"Heh, mi mama's favorite animal," Luna said as she found a cavern cave that leads to the volcanic tube, "Strange. They never said anything about a cavern" She turned off the music from her phone.
"They must have not been very observant," Clawws said.
The bats almost startled her when it flew out of the cavern cave, "Caramba! The hell?!" Luna exclaimed.
"URGH! BATS!" Clawws hides in Luna's ponytail.
"Calm down, Clawws. They don't attack people unless we provoke them. Something scared them off. I'm gonna need Panthera since she can see in the dark like jaguars can. Clawws, let's hunt!" Luna said.
Clawws gets sucked into the ring as Luna began to transform. She swipes her fingers over her eyes forming a mask. Her suit appears from below and she spins around before doing a swipe movement with her claws and finished posing.
"Ha, I love this outfit. Meow!" Luna said before heading inside the cave and she was right that it was dark but with night vision she could see, "Looks like we need to get deeper" She ran through the cave.
As soon as she came deeper into the cave, it became hotter due to lava being nearby. Panthera wipes her forehead from sweat and while she wasn't looking, a hole was ahead of her.
"Guess I should be heading BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" She fell into the hole, sliding down it.

In Thailand, Pelle Skarsgård aka Blu Tembo was out exploring in the Lampang volcanic belt, checking out a cave that nobody had been in. He also fought in his home country too when his people got miraculized from their Alliance rings that Monarch hacked into, he as Blu Tembo fought to protect his family as well as removing the rings and destroy them. Since now when the alliance rings are recycled into building a statue of Gabriel Agreste, he now goes back to using his iPhone which is better than a highly advanced technology that was hacked.
"So many minerals from the Triassic period" He checked it up.
"And I thought mammoths could stay larger than my kind," His kwami Trunkk said.
"Well sadly the mammoths went extinct completely during the Stone Age," Pelle said, remembering the history classes, "Still, they were majestic creatures"
"My ancestors would have loved to meet you if they did not go extinct," Trunkk said.
"I wish I could, Kompis," Pelle said the last sentence in Swedish. He took out a bar of marabou chocolate from his backpack, "Want some Trunkk?"
"Thank you," Trunkk said.
"No worries," Pelle said.
They got deeper into the cave until they had to turn on some flashlight.
Suddenly the ground below him became like a slope and he slipped, gliding down the ground, "WHOOAAAAAAAAA!" He slides at full speed.

At the airport in Rome, Italy, the class arrived in Italy. Among them were Marinette and Adrien.
"Are you excited for the trip to Pompeii?" Marinette asked Adrien.
"Yes. But it's gonna be a long trip with a bus to there" Adrien said.
"That's why I have a music player for us to hear music as we sleep" Marinette giggled.
"Indeed. Well, I'm glad nothing will stop us now" Adrien held her shoulder.
"Of course," Marinette said. After getting their luggage they go to the tourist bus.
"I suppose we'll get to learn more of Pompeii's history when it got destroyed," Marinette said.
"Yup. But still, it reminds us of someone we truly despise that is Italian" Adrien growled lowly at the mention of Lila.
"She's done enough harm now" Marinette held his hand.
"Yeah. Wherever she is now, she better not try to ruin another life again. Like she almost did with yours" Adrien put on his earbuds to listen to music with her.
"Yes, but I'm glad I exposed her" Marinette listened to the music and rested her head on his shoulder as they got on the bus.
The trip was gonna take 2 and a half hours to arrive at Naples, the city near Vesuvius and Pompeii.
What they don't know is that Cerise in Iris Verdi's disguise who attended the improved school is also on the field trip separately and wants revenge on Marinette for ruining her Lila Rossi persona. The kwami of transmission did not like his new owner and he did the same to warn the holder to not do this but she did not listen.
"Soon Marinette, you'll suffer greatly," She thought.
As they arrived in Naples, their teacher gave a list of their names for their room hotel. Alya and Marinette were given their room and Adrien with Nino.
"My dude, I'm very happy that you and Dudette are finally free to be in a romantic fairytale" Nino unpacked his suitcase.
"Yes, without my father to interfere or that psycho bitch Lie-la" Adrien said.
"I don't know what happened to her before we had to save our principal from getting akumatized. It was like she got away or something" Nino said.
Their kwamis came out since their owners already revealed each other and no longer had to keep it a secret since Monarch was gone.
"Are you done talking? I'm starving for cheese all trip day!" Plagg complained.
"Relax buddy" Adrien gave him some cheese.
"By the way, I know it's an early dumb question but when are you gonna propose to Dudette?" Nino fed Wayzz some lettuce.
"After I graduate," Adrien said, thinking of his future with Marinette.
"Ever since summer, your mom allowed you to invite us to the party in the mansion. I like your mom more than your dad. I know he sacrificed his life to stop Monarch but he was still selfish. No offense" Nino said and put his clothes away in the dresser, sipping water.
"None taken. Since that, I've never felt more free" Adrien said.
"Freedom is power, bro-chacho. By the way, it was nice of you to bring your bodyguard. He really needed a great vacation like he did in New York with us" Nino said.
"Yeah, and gave him the new action figures of Blu Tembo and Panthera. It makes him happy" Adrien chuckled and opened the balcony curtains for some sunlight.
"Yeah, I hope Blu Tembo doesn't forget us. After all an elephant never forgets" Nino said.
"And Panthera, she's building her own courage like a big cat," Adrien said, remembering what she was like when he was Cat Noir.
"Neat. I'd love to meet her one day" Nino said.
"Heh, she and Blu Tembo raised funds with Ladybug and Cat Noir by making a dance video. Remember this?" He showed the video on his phone of the dance.
It showed the two dancing by moving their arms above their heads or to the side and moving their elbows back and forth.
"Yeah, that looks great. I wonder where they are when they saved Ladybug and you" Nino said, stepping outside with him.
"No idea. Whoever they are underneath their mask, they must be out in the world" Adrien said.
Marinette and Alya were shopping for souvenirs in the hotel, learning about Italy.
"So you know Vesuvius had a powerful eruption around age 79 AD?" Alya asked.
"Yeah, and it got largely forgotten until the 15th century," Marinette said.
"Mmhmm….unless a certain kwami of destruction caused the volcano to awaken," Alya said.
"Maybe. Just like he didn't see the Tower of Pisa" Marinette said.
"Ah yes. Speaking of which, I found this store" Alya saw a merchandise store.
"Ah, the superheroes. They even made Blu Tembo and Panthera action figures" Marinette said.
"This Panthera figure comes with jaguar sounds" Alya pressed a button, making it growl.
"As well as Blu Tembo's elephant sounds" Marinette pushed the button and out came elephant sounds.
"I'm pretty sure he makes those noises. Like some of us do as heroes. Cat Noir can purr and meow for example" Alya said.
"Heh, yeah. While you as a fox would probably giggle too much like them" Marinette said and decided to buy them in honor.
"Ah yeah," Alya agreed.
"Oh, the boys are waiting for us," Marinette said.
"Let's go meet them," Alya said, heading for their boyfriends.
"Ladies, there You are. Checking out the hotel downstairs?" Nino asked.
"Yes, and we got two tributes to the two new heroes" Marinette showed the Panthera action figure.
"As well as those from New York and China," Alya said.
"Yep. The blue elephant really works well with the jaguar" Adrien said.
"Heh, I always love animals" Marinette giggled, "But not as much as I love you, my prince charming"
"Thank you, my dear princess," Adrien said.
"Heh, you two are so in a fairytale story" Alya chuckled at how goofy they are.
"The story has just begun," Adrien said.
"Yep," Marinette chuckled. From a level above, Cerise spied on them.
Even if she no longer has an interest in Adrien anymore, she still wants revenge on him too for going against her.
"Please don't make the same mistake my former master did" Nooro warned.
"I have other things in mind. It's not the miraculous I want" Cerise whispered.
"Ruining someone's life can result in disasters, mistress," Nooro said.
"That baker exposed me and ruined my life. She's gonna suffer as I have suffered for losing everything as Lila" Cerise said.
"You have no idea what you're doing!" Nooro protested.

The class had lunch at the restaurant hotel and they knew the Italian traditional food is pizza. But also different types of pasta, like spaghetti.
"Tomorrow is a new day, dudes," Nino said.
"Yeah, going to Vesuvius National Park and Pompeii," Adrien said.
"We'd be rather careful, that volcano is so far dormant but can blow at any time," Marinette said.
Adrien glared at Plagg if he ever tried anything foolish when he was the one who destroyed Pompeii. Using his cataclysm without a holder resulted in the awakening of a volcano.
"As you have me, I won't cause another eruption," Plagg said.
Adrien rolled his eyes and resumed eating, "As long as she doesn't have a stomach ache" He said, referring to Vesuvius becoming angry.
Marinette soon came up to him, not noticing Plagg, "Enjoying it so far?"
"Qui, it's great to try country food. Especially your mom's Chinese food I enjoy way too much" Adrien chuckled.
"Ah yeah" Marinette chuckled too.
"But other than that, I love it," Adrien said.
"Great" Marinette resumed her food. Tikki was hiding in her purse, munching some cookies.
"Heh, I can see that the freedom you've been soaking in all summer is finally kicking in," Alya said.
"Yeah, Free from all strict rules and limits," Adrien said.
"A brand new Dude," Nino said.
"No, a brand new young Agreste" Adrien said.
"That's the spirit" Nino clinked glass with him.
