Cerise discovered a miraculous holder's weakness in her laptop of the grimoire spell book pages of the previous holders, "Ah there it is" She grinned maliciously.
"Like kryptonite to Superman. Very lethal to holders" She works on creating the stone from the ingredients to get her revenge, "Prepare yourself Ladybug and Cat Noir" She said while Nooro watched in horror.
One of his previous holders that got too close to that lethal stone long enough would die but not their kwamis. As soon as it was completed, Cerise had to test on herself to see if it really worked or not, "Nooro, dark wings rise" She transformed and she did feel a lot of pain and weakness near the Téngtòng rock mineral.
"AAARGH!" She dropped it and panted, "Nooro, dark wings fall!" She quickly said before she felt very weak, "It really works!" She stood up.
Nooro still can't make her move on from this. He was stuck with an evil holder much worse than Gabriel and no matter how hard he tries to reason the current one, the world will be in chaos if she keeps letting vengeance get the best of her.

The king of Atlantis was showing what the surface holders did not know that everyone has a weakness in life, including the holders too that is much worse than any unique weakness they ever known.
"The first ruler of Atlantis known as the kwamis created the jewelry just like this mage man you speak of. However, when it comes to a miraculous holder using it for chaos and evil, we use this rock mineral magic that is extremely lethal to a miraculous holder. To us, we call it the Death Rock" The king showed the jasper-like rocks in the fountain.
"They look like jasper rocks" Panthera got too close.
"Wait!" The king exclaimed.
But Panthera felt very weak and vulnerable that the rock was giving her pain, "Agghhh!" She moves away from before collapsing but Blu Tembo catches her, "Whoa! What the hell is that?!" Panthera panted.
"That's what I've been telling you! If a miraculous holder comes into contact with the Death Rock, it makes them very vulnerable as you all saw. Not only does it give lethal vulnerability but it can also kill the holder" The king explained.
"Like Kryptonite to Superman," Ladybug said.
"What?" The king raised a brow.
"Nothing. So if it's lethal to holders, how come it doesn't affect the kwamis?" Ladybug asked.
"Because kwamis are magical beings. But to humans, it's not dangerous by touch. These rocks were designed to stop a holder from causing madness to destroy the world. As you can see your friend has already faced it but it did not kill her because she moved away from it before it could make her extremely vulnerable and weak" The king explained why it only affects miraculous holders.
"Man, that's something new for us. Okay, I think I can stand now. Gracias, Chico" Panthera assured them she could move now.
"Thank goodness," Blu Tembo said in relief.
"Was there a history that has happened before?" Cat Noir asked.
"Once. It was not a great story for one who tried to claim the throne to enslave everyone to worship. The Death Rock killed the barracuda holder for ever trying to attack every warrior with speed attack" The king explained one who died from a death rock.
"It's true. He turned on our fellow holders" Chompp said, remembering how the barracuda holder went rogue.
"Wow, sounds like this holder has no patience but likes to be fast like an actual barracuda to get it over with," Cat Noir said.
"Just like the one who bit me," Marinette said.
"So to not die is by not getting too close to it?" Blu Tembo asked.
"Exactly. The closer you are to it, the more lethal it gets" The King continued to explain.
"It was like I felt drained when coming into contact" Panthera explained what it felt like to get vulnerable to it.
"No good. I just hope no one at the surface still knows about it" Cat Noir said.

At the surface; Rena Rouge and Carapace are facing against Chrysalis who is trying to set up a trap but thanks to Rena's illusions of Blu Tembo and Panthera, Chrysalis failed.
"I remember that you were a fake fox Volpina once. But for a butterfly, you're not that lucky!" Rena Rouge said.
"You can call me a slow turtle but we turtles live over a century old" Carapace held his shield.
"Do I give a damn about animals? One thing I do know is animals are dumb!" Chrysalis cackled while holding a bag of the rock to defeat them.
"Whatever is in that bag, it better not be Medusa's head to turn us into stone" Argos readies his fan.
"Oh, it's worse than stone gaze, bird brain!" Chrysalis sneered.
"Do call me bird brain, crazy ass bitch! Hand over the miraculous or this good bug sends out poison at you like a real poisonous bug" Argos said.
"Give it up now or this will get very ugly!" Sentibug spins her yo-yo.
"I enjoy things getting very ugly!" Chrysalis threw something out of the bag that weakened the miraculous holders but Sentibug had no miraculous but she can't give suspicion to Chrysalis.
"AAAHHHHHHHH!"
"What's happening?!" Rena Rouge screamed.
Time around them stopped but continued to go in slow motion. The velociraptor-themed man moved Rena Rouge and Carapace away from the Death Rock glowing around them, even on him too but he only had minutes in his pace before it got into him. He then went back and grabbed Argos and Sentibug before they completely became vulnerable and weak. He went back again to quickly grab the bag in slow motion midair to cover the rock.
"Where did they go?! Damn it but the rock works on them!" Chrysalis clenched her fists. She escapes the scene before whatever tries to stop her.
The teammates felt so weak that they did a lot of jogging in 2 hours but it's not the case. Sentibug was safe but had to pull on an act.
"Guys, are you okay? Say something!" Sentibug begged if they were okay.
"We are fine, I think. Agh! What the hell was that?" Carapace groaned.
"You niños didn't know about the rock vulnerability?" The young raptor man asked.
"Raptor Man?" Argos recognized him but not that too young.
"No, I'm the new Raptor Man. It's great to see you again, chico malo" The new Raptor Man said.
"Luna's brother?" Argos recognized that voice and annoying nickname.
"No time to explain, we need to hide now!" Raptor Man said as he moved the sewer lid aside, "Ven!" He urged them all to come.
They all jumped into the sewers before Chrysalis found them.
Unfortunately, Carapace's weak state made him fall off the ladder and land on Argos, "Agh!"
"OW!" Argos groaned.
"Those rocks drained you all badly" Sentibug helps them up.
"How can a rock simply make us vulnerable like Kryptonite to Superman?" Rena Rouge asked.
"Because it's a magic rock designed to kill an any miraculous holder. Everyone detransform now! Razor, let's stop" Raptor Man detransformed into Elio.
"Trixx, let's rest"
"Duusu, fall my feathers"
"Wayzz, shell off"
Unfortunately for Sentibug, she can't but she morphed into Marinette in her own way since she has no real miraculous on herself.
"Hmm?" Elvio raised a brow.
"She's my….sentibeing," Felix said.
"Oh, anyways, last week while I was doing some archeological digging, I did some investigating and it was no ordinary jasper rock I thought it was. It's not earth-made but created with magic of some kind. I came here to warn you guys until this woman beat me to it before it almost killed you" Elio explained the rock in the bag that was extremely lethal to miraculous holders.
"What the hell is it?" Felix asked
"They call it the death rock," Elio said.
"In our ancient times, they call it the Téngtòng," Duusu said.
"What?" Felix said.
"It's a deadly rock designed for emergencies if a holder uses it for chaos and evil, the guardians use it to stop the corrupted holders from ever endangering mankind" Wayzz explained.
"Cerise must have figured it out to use like a weapon," Alya said.
"My little sister mentioned about her to me. She wasn't kidding that this pendeja was a liar and a bully. I don't understand how she's capable of getting away with illegal fake identities" Elio said.
"That's what I wonder too. She's becoming more twisted" Alya replied.
"Because she's a coward. My little Luna and I know what liars do to get what they want. Anyways, this rock is extremely dangerous when you guys are transformed. It's not lethal when you are detransformed. Thank god I saved you all before it could kill you all long enough if you didn't get out there in time" Elio said, referring to how he did his Flash mode to save them all at once.
"Who are you?" Alya asked.
"Elio Cantillo, Luna's older brother. I'm an archaeologist. And of course, she did mention about your bird friend being a chico malo to now a better bird. She also mentioned that you do look a hell of a lot like your cousin" Elio said to Felix.
"Until I got this new makeover," Felix said.
"I see. Well, where's the cat and the real bug?" Elio asked.
"Didn't your sister tell you?" Felix asked.
"Oh, yes. Atlantis. I forgot since I was too busy with archaeology digging. But still, it has been 2 weeks now. I was hoping you guys were still in contact with her" Elio said.
"It's a long way for signal reception to be answered. While you're here, maybe you can be some help since you got the speed I remember from your father in Japan" Felix said.
"Yeah, he wants to settle with my mother after all the years he missed. But I'll gladly accept your offer to help out the heroes of Paris" He then shakes hands with Felix.
"Welcome to the team," Senti-Marinette said.
At least you don't have the same feisty badass attitude like her. She gets scary when she's mad" Felix said.
"Heh, she gets that from our mom. Spanish women are always easily upset" Elio chuckled.

Down below, Pelle was teaching the Paris duo that sometimes seeing isn't always what they think. He held a rock which technically it's a geode but the heroes don't know that.
"Metaphor lessons in training your eyes to not be deceived. What do you see?" Pelle asked.
"A rock," Adrien said.
"But on the inside it's different," Pelle said.
"How is this gonna teach our eyes?" Marinette asked.
Pelle rolls his eyes and passes the rock to Luna so she can use her anger to smash it so the inside can be revealed.
"Mira. It's a geode. For example, you may think a person is odd, awkward, or plain meh, but on the inside there's something beautiful in them" Luna said, admiring the amethyst geode.
"Take Marinette for example. You always see her clumsy all the time but on the inside, her kindness is so beautiful that you love the way she is" Pelle said an example of a metaphor for the geode.
"As an example of when someone deceives our eyes. Like for instance, you see reporters with cameras, right? Everyone's eyes always lie but cameras do not. Cameras can capture ghosts while the human eye cannot" Luna said.
"Or that when someone seems kind but on the inside they are just rotten to the core," Adrien said.
"Exactly. Or like Medusa for example. Everyone knows that our eyes can deceive us when we look at something that can get us killed. Physically and emotionally" Pelle said.
"Yeah. Something like that" Adrien nods in agreement.
"And in terms when it comes to fighting akumas, never get ahead of yourselves because you may never know what you see and can sometimes miss something," Pelle said.
"Like the example when Cerise used Queen Mayor as her pawn. You thought Chloe was out of control when it was Cerise manipulating her all along. There is not only one villain behind this but the one hiding in the shadows" Luna said.
"Yeah, pulling the strings," Adrien said
"Seeing in believing," Pelle said.
"Okay, let's be sure there's no fury in sight. This huge air pocket with gigantic cave ceilings, I don't know how night and day works like that" Luna said.
"Maybe by the lava below" Marinette guessed.
"Maybe but I'm surprised that this giant landmass hasn't melted in the lava," Pelle said.
"Must be the waters cooling it at times" Adrien guessed.
"I guess," Pelle said.
"Has Chompp calmed down a little, Plagg? I hate to see his grudge become an eternity for you" Marinette asked.
"Yeah, we had a small chat with him and the other kwamis," Plagg said.
"He better not bite again," Luna said, hating how some apex predators like to be brutal to their prey.
The King appeared with Chompp again, his eyes were no longer bloodshot, "You kids sure got the bravery to defeat those creatures" The king said.
"Yeah, but there are three left" Marinette said.
"They are dangerous indeed, especially when it comes to preying on victims with their miseries. Almost as if they want us to feel very miserable" Chompp said.
"We'll be ready for the next threat" Pelle stood up.
"And we will have our senses sharp" Luna said.
"Hey! I'm a shark kwami!" Chompp gets in Luna's face, "Humans like all of you have 5 senses! We sharks have 8!"
Luna glared back that this kwami does not know metaphors or expressions, "It's an expression, shark" She moved him away from her face, "Sheesh. That doesn't mean we literally have more than 5 senses"
"I get that!" Chompp crossed his flipper-like arms.
"Clearly not" Luna rolled her eyes.
"If you succeed in capturing all the furies, maybe there's a chance to restore our lost civilization with your help," The king said.
"Well…..the surface world we live in, it has changed a lot before your time down here. Our clothes we wear, the entire world isn't perfect, but there is hope that remains alive" Ladybug said.
"We just don't know if you and your people can fit in. Especially mercenaries that would like to steal your ancient power to destroy mankind like my father did with his obsession with the miraculous" Adrien said.
"Well there is a chance we might teach your world" The King replied.
"Everyone thinks your lost civilization is a myth. People alive today think that myths are just something not real but to prevent mankind from uncovering myths to truth" Pelle said.
"Until they appear in different forms than they expected. Many species are found after they are long thought to be extinct" Marinette said.
"And sometimes those with no heart or mind, they will stop at nothing to get their hands on ancient magical artifacts that can do much chaos. That's why myths are better than to be discovered. We all thought Atlantis was a myth. Some believe the island sank by a cataclysmic event. Some believe a gigantic tsunami destroyed the city. Some believe that an underwater earthquake caused it" Luna explains an example of what everyone's theories they believe.
"Or that Santorini is the real-life Atlantis" Pelle added, referring to the Greek island that got partially blown up by a volcanic eruption.
"Yeah, that too," Marinette said before they heard rumbling nearby, it was the next fury.
