A/N: Hello again, everyone!

Here's the fourth chap!

Spoiler warning: I incorporated a little bit of Part 2 into Part 1, but it's my remix, so...

"Emilie, my love, my Queen. I only have a few hours left to live. I'm more than determined than ever to get the Miraculous to have the Ultimate Absolute Power. Even if it's the last thing I'd ever do…"

"The time has come, Gabriel-san," said Tomoe. "Now that the world is vulnerable, the children are secured, and the Perfect Alliance app is up and running perfectly as it should…"

Gabriel, as Monarch declared, "Time we move onto the next phrase, Tsurugi-san…"

"AHH!"

"AHHHH!"

"Ugh!"

"EGH!"

"ADRIEN!" Marinette's nightmare about Adrien and Gabriel had Tikki thrown against the wall and panted.

"Marinette! You okay?" Tikki immediately flew to her owner's side.

Marinette had her hands on her head. "Adrien…Mr. Agreste…"

"A disappointing disgrace to our nation…our people…our family...yourself…"

"Whoa!"

Blessa noticed the Princess Lalla's discomfort.

"Wha…?" This was her second one. And she was wide awake for this one.

Ziddy gently grabbed Aisha by her shoulders. "You okay?"

What was that all about? Aisha had a second nightmarish flashback of her being called a disgraceful disappointment by her father again before mentally pulling herself together. "No, I'm not." Aisha thought she'd gotten over it and kept telling her that. "I'm not a disappointing disgrace."

Blessa and Ziddy rested their hands on her lap. "We know you're not. You can't let these random nightmares get the best of you."

"You don't feed into a nightmare; you take control and conquer them. Everyone is stronger than their nightmare."

Aisha agreed as Félix arrived, and he activated his suit. "Let's do this."

Alya hung out at the houseboat with the rest of the Resistance. She wanted to go to Marinette's place, whom she had not seen since the end-of-the-school-year dance, but these nightmares...she thought it would be best to stay away and instead called Marinette and informed her about Aisha.

Almost everyone was browsing through their Perfect Alliance app via the rings, even Myléne and Ivan eventually, despite their view on them for their anti-consumer-and-anti-green materials and the fact that they were having random nightmares, even after being awake like right now.

Marinette asked with slight astonishment, "Aisha's going to free Adrien?"

"And Kagami," Alya added. "She's determined to give you two a happy ending. You two deserve it."

Marinette sighed as Alya went on. "Aisha also said to get ready because she fears the worst is about to come. And that she has her ways and is getting reinforcements."

Marinette groaned; she was not in the mood to deal with any of this. "All these info…Monarch's true identity. This nightmare I had with Adrien and...oh, my head is spinning."

"I know what you mean. That nightmare that Monarch would come to me to know your identity, and my second one was me giving Cat Noir's Miraculous to Monarch..." She clutched her head just thinking about it. "But you have to pull it together. We all do," Alya advised her best friend. "You can do this. You were chosen to be Ladybug for a reason and trusted me with that secret. Do this for Adrien."

Marinette sighed deeply. "You're right. I'm going to do this for Adrien. You and the rest of the Resistance hold things down."

Alya smiled. "That's my girl. Talk to you soon," she hung up and returned to the deck. Soon, she saw two well-dressed boys about a year younger than her and two strong, stern men approaching the boathouse. "Uh…"

"Hello, everyone. I'm Prince Moulay Jabari Kyautauna," the young boy bowed and waved to his older twin brother, who finished setting up his multi-screen laptop after taking it from his satchel bag. Also, what came out was a small and shiny black and white metallic robot propelled beside him. "This is my brother, Crown Prince Moulay Ekon, his robotic friend, Uche, and our bodyguards, Abdou and Kasmin," the two men stood beside the royal boys on their laptops and waved to everyone.

"Hello."

"I take it you're the cavalry Aisha sent?" Alya guessed.

"Indeed, Alya," Jabari continued before Alya could say anything. "My sister has told us about you all."

Rose giggled, "She has?"

"Absolutely, Rose," said the robot with a posh male voice as he flew around the blonde. "I know all about you and your friends: Kim, Ivan, Myléne, Max, Markov, Juleka, Nathaniel, Marc, Zoé, Nino, Alya. You are as pretty and cute as your name."

Rose giggled.

"Wow," a fascinated Max observed it. "You created this robot?"

"I am not just a robot, Max; I am Crown Prince Moulay Ekon's best friend. Your robotic friend Markov is not the only one with emotional intelligence and capability here."

"Yes, I did," Ekon answered with pride. "And this laptop is made from our country's greatest and finest technology."

"Cool!" Kim exclaimed.

"Extraordinary!" Max praised. "I've never seen technology like this."

Ekon responded, "That's because it's only for our country." Ekon presented a small cheeseboard. "Camembert on baguette, anyone?"

Everyone politely declined—most of them, especially the Camembert, had a strong odor, and Ekon helped himself to a small one.

"I'm in," Ekon declared when he got into the Tsurugi Industries' security systems, not taking his eyes off the screen. "It was too easy, to say the least."

Everyone gathered around and behind him and gasped at the horror of Adrien and Kagami being in white solitary confinement rooms.

"Dude!" Nino had his hands on his head. He couldn't believe how low Mr. Agreste went to isolate his son. "That's sick."

Kim shook his head. "That's just plain wrong."

"No way!" Alya's eyes dilated. She only imagined how Marinette would be had she seen him like this—saying she'd be devastated would be understating.

"Inhumane!" Myléne cried, "This is a total national and international law violation on so many levels."

Juleka groaned, "No…"

"Aisha, her companion Ziddy, her bodyguard Blessa, and Félix are going to get them out right now," Ekon continued typing; his eyes were not taken off the screens. "Don't worry; they won't get away with this. Let's just say there are ears and eyes on them as well."

Zoé tilted her head. "How?"

"It wouldn't be fun if I spoiled the surprise right now, huh?" Ekon modestly replied.

"Félix is helping her?" Alya scratched her hair.

Ekon shook his head. "Yes, and from what Aisha told me about him, he's a smooth one, but he's helping."

"Ekon, come in." Aisha could be heard. "Do you hear me?"

"Affirmative," said Ekon into his microphone. "I've tapped into the security systems—it was toddler's play. I've already manipulated, looped, and controlled everything: all the footage, cameras, sounds, the Tsurugi robots inside the building, even the rooms where Adrien and Kagami are being held, and the guards watching the doors."

"We're going in." Aisha replied.

"And I even see some charts here…still, they won't know what hit them until it's too late for them to notice it." Ekon ended the sentence with a confident smirk. "From what you told me about Mr. Agreste and Mrs. Tsurugi, they're not exactly parents of the year."

"No, they're not," Nino agreed, as did everyone else.

"You can actually do that?" Max asked, adjusting his glasses.

Ekon answered. "Yes. And if I could, I could do this in my sleep."

Nino cheered. "Impressive, Your Royal Dudeness!"

"Thank you, Nino. Adrien's lucky to have friends like you all; same with Kagami."

"You don't have Tsurugi technology in Nikenobia?" asked Myléne, worried as she watched Ivan drifting into the Perfect Alliance app on his ring.

"If our citizens want to," said Jabari. "But in Nikenobia, we have our own technology that's miles ahead of any other country in the world, Myléne. It would take the outsiders, even Tsurugi Industries, eons to figure us out."

"How are you not affected by the nightmares?" asked Alya.

"You don't feed into a nightmare; you take control and conquer them. Everyone is stronger than their nightmare." Abdou and Kasmin replied at the same time.

"Oh, I don't know if I could do this, Tikki," Marinette changed into her Ladybug gear and massaged her head. That nightmare of Adrien losing his father because of her rattled her brain—it was a miracle she was even focused on trying to stop Monarch.

Tikki sighed. "Normally, I would be against breaking and entering someone's home just to talk to someone, but this is for Adrien and to defeat Monarch once and for all. Don't let that nightmare get to you—you're stronger than the nightmare."

"Let's do this."

Breaking into the Agreste mansion as Ladybug, Marinette discovered what Kagami and Félix told her back at the school was true. Regardless of how either of them found out about her identity, she'll take care of that later…

But it was true.

Gabriel Agreste is Monarch.

And along with Nathalie—it looked like she was seconds away from death—being Mayura, amongst other things, and was given something that could possibly help defeat him.

"Blow that up," Jabari saw something on the screens; Ekon enlarged it as he had another Camembert on baguette. "What is it?"

"They look like charts of Adrien and Kagami's stimuli and body temperatures…" Ekon guessed. "And it's somehow connected to this Perfect Alliance app and something else I see here. Like I said, I've already manipulated and looped that as well," Ekon typed hastily and replied in his communicator. "Hurry on back, now."

"We're hurrying back."

Kasmin spoke into his earpiece. "Ƙungiyar has sent us something."

Jabari explained to everyone. "Ƙungiyar is our nation's foreign intelligence agency, like the CIA and DGES are to the USA and France." Except we are secretly considered to be better than them, Mossad, and MI6, Jabari said to himself.

"Something's been picked up from our satellites, including our overseas territories, neighboring and ally countries." Abdou began pulling up the photos on his screens. "Their Majesties, any other royal family member, and high-level officials, whenever or not they are in the country or overseas territories, are now under maximum protection."

Kasmin got the same thing. "Whatever it was, it was enough for His Majesty The King to issue an emergency lockdown alert order in Nikenobia and overseas territories and a SAFEACT Level 4 and to stand by for a potential 3. He's giving the word out to the other nations."

"How many eyes do you have?" Max wondered. "In your country? Your territories? All in Africa?"

Abdou answered, "All over the world, young man."

"Really?" Alya had her hands on her hips.

"It is Ƙungiyar's job to see any potential threats in our country and overseas territories," Kasmin added.

"Here are the photos."

Everyone gasped. It was Gabriel Agreste as the Nightormentor again, and this time, he looked like he was spraying his nightmare-terror dust…

And from the looks of this…

Around the globe?

"No way!"

Some of the gang wondered, "What is going on here?"

A slumped Ivan groaned—he was really into his Alliance ring. And the Perfect Alliance app. He already looked so droopy and numb; Myléne looked worryingly at her boyfriend. "Teddy bear? You okay?"

An image came on the screen. It was Mr. Agreste.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Gabriel Agreste. World-famous fashion designer. My son, Adrien, and Kagami Tsurugi were kidnapped by those wreathed Ladybug and Cat Noir…"

There came an obviously duped video of Ladybug and Cat Noir kidnapping Adrien and Kagami.

"What?" Alya was confused as much as the rest of the crew.

"No…way…"

"That's not true…"

"No doubt," Jabari agreed. "This is definitely a spoof video."

Ekon agreed and debunked it quickly from a quick analysis. "My computers detected that these are virtual avatars…"

"They wouldn't do that…" Alya denied this accusation made against Mr. Agreste before she felt a glimpse of her nightmares. "Ah…they wouldn't…They saved our lives at least once. We owe them that much..."

Alya made a connection, and her eyes widened. "TAKE OFF YOUR ALLIANCE RINGS IF YOU HAVE THEM! IT'S A TRAP FROM MONARCH!"

Whoever had them on the houseboat disposed of them, as Mr. Agreste continued.

"To help save Adrien and Kagami and stop Ladybug and Cat Noir, say, 'Alliance, Miraculize me!'"

"Alliance, Miraculize me!" Ivan stood up and transferred into this metallic-looking white-suited foot soldier with a circle on the face. "GRRRRR!"

"NO!" Myléne's heart ached at the sight of her brainwashed boyfriend.

"IVAN!"

A Miraculized Ivan replied, "Join me, Myléne, in saving Adrien and Kagami from Ladybug and Cat Noir."

The Resistance group, and even Ekon, Jabari, and their bodyguards, gasped in horror. Alya looked away and watched random people turn into the same metallic-looking suited foot soldiers.

"Teddy bear!" Myléne cried as everyone got alerts on their phones.

"Must get Ladybug…and Cat Noir…Must save Adrien and Kagami…"

"Don't be amused, it's just the news!" Nadja said her famous catchphrase. "The perfect famous teen power couple, Adrien Agreste and Kagami Tsurugi, have been kidnapped by Ladybug and Cat Noir..."

"What the…?"

"I know you're here, Ladybug," Monarch smiled sinisterly when he set his house on lockdown.

Now Ladybug was alone in the Agreste mansion surrounded by them.

Trapped.

Alya sighed. "Oh, no."

More Miraculized transformations...

"Game on."
