In the throne room, the King had a small chat with Chompp. His kwami is extremely stubborn, full of rage, and still keeps his grudge on the kwami of destruction for causing the civilization to be lost on the surface world but was saved by their sea god Poseidon to give the people gills to breathe and survive.
"Chompp, don't let your rage consume you completely," The King said.
"They don't know that your ancestor became a mutated shark. He was exiled a long time ago because of what that black cat did to our people! I was there to witness all of it before your father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and the rest of the previous kings" Chompp said.
"Plagg has a new holder and has already captured a few furies. Plagg is fixing his mistake for Atlantis. There's always a second chance, Chompp" The king said.
"I hope so for his sake," Chompp said.

Marinette was trying out a hot spring by herself to relax after the battle. Of course, Adrien still being overprotective of her did not want her to be alone again, especially like the times she was alone to take responsibility as guardian.
"Agh! Jeez, Adrien" Marinette made sure to lower her chest since she had nothing on.
"Sorry, I just didn't want you to be alone again" Adrien had a cloth around his waist to cover his lower body.
Marinette laughed nervously, "Who said I was alone? I'm okay!" She did her stammering mess like she used to do.
"I know, Bugaboo. The King's talking with his kwami to try to make amends with Plagg" Adrien got in.
"Better end well or Chompp might try to squeeze the life out of him," Marinette said.
"And mine just because he thinks I'm like the rest of my Cat Noir ancestors," Adrien said.
"You're nothing like them. Each holder is different" Marinette said.
"My ancestors were adults. I'm the first teenager as the holder" Adrien said.
"Give me a break! There were maybe two or three that were your age before you. One from Ancient Egypt, one from the Ming Dynasty, and the other from Russia" Plagg explained his previous kittens that were younger than him.
"Really Plagg?" Adrien asked.
"I'm a gazillion years old, kid. Much older than Earth's birth" Plagg said.
"Alright. I haven't looked through them all" Adrien said.
"Heh, you two are totally like a duo of destruction than being kittens," Marinette said.
"Can't help it" Adrien said.
"Mmhmm?" Marinette closed her eyes, laying back.
"Milady, I get it's just the beginning for us to know each other. Perhaps it's not such a bad thing. Hopefully, Grandmaster Su Han doesn't pressure us with his ancient traditional rules again" Adrien said.
"Yeah. I hope. But he got a lot to learn from our modern world" Marinette said.
"Like the phone? He wouldn't look away from it. He thought it was like a magic cursed mirror" Adrien said.
"Yeah," Marinette giggled.
"I'm glad Felix and my aunt moved to Paris. Amelie always wanted to have a better life like my mom did. So does Felix too. London was like a prison to them" Adrien said.
"Yeah. Though they need to be careful now that Chrysalis is on the loose" Marinette said.
Adrien saw her hair was down. He always liked it down to see a lot of her beauty.
"Yeah, that's right, Princess," He said.
"These gills on our necks, it's like another but different breathing mechanism than our circulatory and respiratory systems," Marinette said.
"With both them and lungs we're like lungfishes," Adrien said.
"A human fish I suppose," Marinette said, making sure her chest was underwater.
"Um, yeah," Adrien said with a blush.
"I wish there was a way to restore Atlantis but I just don't think the people will fit into the new world we live in," Marinette said.
"Clearly not," Adrien said, laying back in the spring.
"So how's our two friends doing?" Marinette asked.
"Just exploring the waters. They saw there's a few ruins of the city underwater that could help find some answers" Adrien said.
"We should find them before a fury finds them," Marinette said, grabbing a cloth to cover herself.
"Yeah, I hope they make it" Adrien caught a glimpse of her curves.
"No peeking" Marinette saw him stare.
"I'm not looking" Adrien looks away before getting out to cover himself, "I'm not gonna lie but you are very beautiful. You're always my princess"
"So is your gorgeous face," Marinette said.
"Like my mother's" Adrien puts his clothes on.
"Yeah," Marinette got dressed and put her scrunchies on.
"If we do survive, at least not become fish food, I hope that shark kwami can forgive Plagg," Adrien said.
"I hope he can" Marinette follows him.
"Ironically I always give people second chances because of my Chinese zodiac birth year. The snake. But somehow it didn't work on two bitches we despise" Adrien said.
"Chloe and Lie-la. And funny enough you were Aspik the snake holder" Marinette said.
"Yeah. I was trying to impress you but failed a lot with the time loops. Nathalie once told me when my father used the snake miraculous while under his bad condition, it accelerated the cataclysm. That explains why he never used Second Chance because it was dangerous" Adrien said.
"Yes. But I fear Cerise will suffer the same fate as our alternative selves almost did. She's underage so she can't use akumas multiple times" Marinette said.
"At least we learned something from our doppelgängers. Unlike using the miraculous for evil, we unlocked our adult powers. Even if we are not technically adults yet. I didn't know that underage holders using miraculous for evil can override the restrictions" Adrien came to the waters.
"Me neither," Marinette said as Pelle and Luna emerged.
"Hejsan ni två" Pelle said.
"Hola" Luna gets out and does not care if her clothes are wet. Her body is so cold-proof that she won't catch pneumonia.
"What did you two find?" Adrien asked.
"Nothing but fishes and mermaids," Pelle said.
"Okay then" Adrien replied.
"But we were amazed by the bioluminescence underwater. Other than that, the mermaids were very friendly and extremely beautiful" Luna said.
"Really? Unlike the ones that can lure men into a trap?" Marinette asked.
"Yep. They are friendlier" Pelle said.
"Heh, I'm starting to feel like hunting fish. Plagg, claws out" Adrien transformed into Cat Noir.
"Be lucky that you love water like a jaguar" Luna said and transformed into Panthera.
"Come on, not all cats hate water. Some cats like myself are excellent swimmers" Cat Noir chuckled and dived in.
"Tikki spots on!" Marinette turns into Ladybug and dives in.
They were right when they said there are bioluminescence, glowing fishes, and mermaids.
"It's beautiful" Ladybug saw some mermaids wave at them.
Cat Noir was mesmerized by their beauty and waved back, "Wow" He swam past a glowing fish.
Blu Tembo was met by dolphins and swam with them briefly.
Ladybug sees a few glowing fish gathering in a school group, "Wonderful" She said.
They kept swimming across any creature they met. Cat Noir saw something familiar with the ruins from the flashback his cat ancestor had seen. It was once from the surface but then it becomes submerged from the ocean swallowing it. He swam closer to it and the visions of the past came to him and he could see the ocean swallowing the city but someone with the octopus miraculous used the power of anything to do eight things at once like saving people, preventing the city from crumbling, giving everyone to breathe underwater with gills on their side necks, and the rest to save the lost civilization by going deep underground of the ocean. Unfortunately, the miraculous of the octopus was too great to control until everything went in a bright flash.
"Kitty?" Ladybug saw him.
"Huh? What?" He snaps out of it.
"Your eyes went literally black. Almost like a ghost banshee with no eyes or something" Blu Tembo said.
"I just experienced how the people of Atlantis survived by the octopus miraculous," Cat Noir said.
"What?" Ladybug said.
"Yes, it was the reason they all survived at once," Cat Noir said.

On the surface, Felix would always dress formal due to his late father's strict and harsh rules for years of wearing anything casual like a big boy. Of course, he needed a fresh start since he no longer lives in London anymore.
No Akuma for two days and the miraculous members were hanging out at the mall, helping Felix and Sabrina out. Sabrina went through a toxic friendship with Chloe until she had enough of her trusting Lila and destroying her classmates' career forms to replace them with fake ones so they could humiliate Marinette. As for Felix, he's trying to reduce his mischief so he can get out of his shell and become a good guy. Especially getting away from the trauma his uncle put him through the day when he threatened to make him disappear as Shadow Moth.
After doing some tries on what he wants to wear, he chooses the blue shirt to represent his Argos attire, a black sleeveless jacket, jeans, and green Converse sneakers. He wants to have a new hairstyle but every time he does that, he ends up looking identical to Adrien. So instead, it just remains slicked.
"Looking stylish" His sentimonster as Adrien said.
"Thanks. Guys, I said no staring at me again" Felix wasn't comfortable with the boys staring at him.
"You could use some dye to the hair, like brown," Luka said.
"I was thinking blue highlights," Adrien said.
"To represent your favorite type of bird," SentiAdrien said.
"Yeah," Felix agreed.
"Dude, my bro-cousin, you're finally coming out of your shadow. The more you discover your interests other than playing chess against adults, you'll be like you are back as a young kid again" Nino said.
"Yeah, ditching my past self to a new guy," Felix said.
"A new brand cousin. Especially to tell who is who" Nino said, knowing that Adrien and Felix look exactly the same whenever they pretend to be each other.
"Soon as I change my hair color a bit" Felix was getting prepared for his makeover.
"Trying to impress Kagami again?" Nathaniel asked.
"Maybe. She's just so badass in fencing" Felix said, loving his dragon queen so much.
Luka took out the dark blue dye and applied it to Felix, "Just like you're your hairstyle highlights. A little bit on the ends" Felix instructed.
"Got it" Luka added on his bangs.
As soon as it was done, the boys could now see he looked like the new Felix without the Adrien features.
"Well behold, the new Felix Fathom" Luka said.
"No Adrien impersonation I don't see. I love it" Narc said.
"It's perfect, King Peacock," Kagami said to her boyfriend.
"Heh, I thought you hate perfection, my queen" Felix teased.
"To me, you are in your new look," Kagami said.
"That's what I love about you," Felix said.
