Tikki: A sequel? are you out of your mind? you want to drag this even further?

MC: yup!

#22- Operation- Final Impact!

At Chloe's hotel...

Sabine, Chloe, Juleka, Kagami Rose and Sabrina were in the main lobby discussing a plan of attack, since Adrien was the new HawkMoth, Agreste Mannor was their best bet of finding Marinette and Zoe.

Since Sabine was Marinette's mother and the oldest of the group, she was considered seccond in command, like her daughter, she was also very good at planning.

"So here is the plan, Myself, Rose, and Sabrina will charge foward and handle whatever Adrien's got planned, While Chloe, Kagami and Juleka will search for Marinette and Zoe." Sabine explained.

"Once we find them, as well as Tikki and Plagg, we'll confront Adrien and whoever is helping him, retrieve Nooroo and Dusou, and put an end to this once and for all!" Longg continued.

The others and their respective Kwamis' nodded in agreement, Chloe growled, she was throtle Adrien for capturing her sister!

Agreste Mannor...

Zoe and Marinette were led down a secret elevator by Nathalie, they were told that the old HawkMoth wanted to see them.

Once inside the area, Zoe and Marinette's jaws dropped in unison!

inside was a young woman asleep in a stasis pod not unlike Snow White.

"That's my mom..." a familiar voice said.

Adrien made himself known, in his civilian form, a smirk across his face.

"And my wife..." another voice said.

That voice, Marinette knew all too well, as HawkMoth made himself known, the old Hawkmoth, in all his sinister glory.

It didn't take long for Marinette to connect the dots...

"Gabriel Agreste?" she asked.

The villan nodded, "Heh, you have potential Ms Dupain-Cheng, both in fashion and in combat, for two years you have thwarted my plans, even my son's akuma's could not stop you, but now that the Black Cat and Ladybug are mine, you wondering why have i chosen to keep you alive?"

Marinette's eyes widened.

"Simple, i want you to be present when i make my wish, oh! and my son has already informed me about the downside of making said wish, how there is a price to pay, i am willing to pay such a price, if it brings back Emilie, i will gladly give my life do so." HawkMoth spoke.

"But what if it's not you life that ends?..." Marinette spoke, "You don't know for certain if it's your life the wish takes, it could mine, Nathalie's or even Adrien's, magic is a fickle thing."

"Nice try, but you tricks will not stop me..." HawkMoth sneered, "You are but a child, a child trained by the guardian, but a child still, how could you possibly know?"

BOOM!

The sounds of battle could be heard all the way from this very room!

"It seems your pals are dealing with Garuda-Z, i must say it was wise of you to help me craft this Sentimonster Adrien," Nathalie said, "this one has been the most usefull."

"Nathalie, see to it we're not disturbed..." HawkMoth ordered.

Nathalie nodded, "Dusou, Spread my feathers!"

After a teal light flashed, Mayura stood where Nathalie was and made her way above to join the battle.

"Now, where were we, ah yes, the wish! and you, my greatest advisary, my moment of triumph awaits!" HawkMoth said, but before he could even reach for the two Kwamis in their prison, a large rock beaned him!

He turned arround to find Marinette, free from her bonds, she undid her pigtails, letting her hair loose and got into her Bai-ji-Quan stance.

HawkMoth simply laughed, "You intend to fight me, without your Miraculous, you're no longer Ladybug, you are barely a Lady!"

"I don't need my earings to fight a deranged old man..." she said, her blue eye turning red, Zoe knew this look all to well, this was the "Pray to whatever god you worship i end this quick" look.

"Alright, you seem serious, let's see if you are just as strong without your miraculous." HawkMoth said, Adrien backed away as the two faced one another for the fight of the century!
