Eggman has Metal Sonic transfer every data to the computer screen to study these superhuman teens. Even receiving an earpiece came from an unknown person hiding in the shadows.
"If they do find out, the blue rat you speak of will learn more about you until they have a chance at winning," Chrysalis said through the coms.
"Oh, don't worry, they don't stand a chance against our plan," Eggman said confidently.
Unaware that he's being used as her pawn the same way she used Chloe, "Oh we shall see. I got a score to settle with my old enemy" Chrysalis said.
"Don't forget, these teens are stronger than you think. With those two on his side, there's no chance you'll win" Chrysalis said.
"Not if I build robot duplicates of them. You definitely like to hide from them!" Dr. Eggman said, knowing whoever can't stand a chance against those teens.
"They have no idea what's coming for them," Chrysalis said.
"Your plan better work! I'm done being dealt with my previous plans failing!" Eggman observed the screen of the teens' power source, "So she creates while he destroys" He said.
"Yes. The cat's power is very lethal. Whatever he touches gets destroyed" Chrysalis said through the earpiece.
"I've noticed during the battles and the bug brat fixes everything too," Eggman said.
"Yes. Ladybugs are symbols of good luck while the black cat is bad luck. One to create while the other to destroy" Chrysalis said.
Eggman was unaware that Chrysalis was at his base, learning everything that this doctor does with his machines. Much more advanced than any technology she's ever seen. She planned to steal some plans to use in Paris.
"Erm, Boss. Do you trust that girl?" Orbot asked Eggman.
"She has common enemies but I have my doubts about her. Just like Starline the Platypus that I've fired from the empire" Eggman replied.
"But we don't know who she is," Orbot said.
"All she says she's called Chrysalis" Eggman replied.
"I get a bad feeling about her" Said Cubot.
"I don't care but she's the only one to know those two brats!" Eggman shuts them up.
"YIPE!" The two robot assistants yelp.
"Both of you be quiet and let me learn every data from these brats!" Eggman ranted them.
"Okay!" They both left.
Chrysalis chuckled at how easily foolish this odd man was to trust her. She gathered a lot of information with the USB stick.
"Not the brightest Egghead there is," She said to herself.
Now that she got what she needed, she also needed a laptop access from this world.
"Prepare yourself, Ladybug, you and your partner are about to face your doom in metal," She said.

In the Paris dimension, the teammates saw what looked like a different counterpart of Ladybug and Cat Noir. More edgy but somewhat resembling like their heroes. Along came a counterpart of Hawk Moth who looked less villainy.
"Bonjour" Said Paw Noir.
"Cat Noir?!" Carapace exclaimed.
"Paw Noir to you" Paw Noir replied.
"And yes, I am Ladybug and this is Betterfly. Don't worry he's on our side" The alternative Ladybug said.
"Wait. You're not our Ladybug and Cat Noir?" Vesperia said.
Rena Ubiquity closes the portal and explains to the team, "No, they are parallel versions from another parallel world. Like Betterfly, for example, is the opposite of Hawk Moth"
"So were we. But we have no time to explain through it all" Ladybug said.
"Actually, we do. We were once supervillains but thanks to our hero counterparts inspiring us, we reformed. Anyways, we came here because we heard that your teammates disappeared" Paw Noir said.
"You know where to find them?" Carapace asked.
"Not exactly. You see your friend opened a portal, right? There are billions of universes to go through. If your teammates landed somewhere, it's like a needle in a haystack but we'll do everything we can to find them" Betterfly said.
"Okay. But you need some of us to tag along?" Argos asked.
"Ooh, a blue bird with tail feathers. You look delicious to eat for this cat" Paw Noir teased in his crouching stance.
"Careful, I got a sharp fan and I'm not afraid to use it!" Argos held his fan up.
"I'm teasing. Sheesh. But you do know cats eat birds. My paws are too soft now" Paw Noir snickered while his lady rolled her eyes in annoyance at how much he used to love dark humor as Claw Noir.
"Easy kitty cat" The Alternate Ladybug pets his hair.
"Forgive him, he's trying to overcome his dark side for months now. I never met so many holders of the miraculous. Your ladybug really did succeed in defeating Monarch" Betterfly said.
"Dude, you look almost like Monarch except nicer and less evil. Are you sure you didn't come back from the dead because our Monarch is dead" Carapace said.
"No. I'm just glad his terror is over forever. But that this world's butterfly brooch has a new holder" Betterfly said.
"Check this out. During the day Betterfly placed hidden cameras in your world in case something bad happens, we saw this" Ladybug held a device footage of Trickster playing her flute to manipulate the power of the Rooster miraculous to create any superpower she wants, creating a portal to go through the dimension.
"I'd be damned," Carapace said.
"It has to be her. The new Hawk Moth" Rena Rouge said.
"Which explains why she hasn't sent out akumas," Argos said.
"She must be looking for our Cat and Ladybug," Ryuko said.

In the Mobian universe, Cat Noir was no match for Shadow due to all his teleportation sneak attacks. To get to know this edgy hedgehog, he has to challenge him.
"Okay, I give up. So much for when you say you're the Ultimate Lifeform" Cat Noir panted heavily.
"I wasn't kidding, Noir. You may have the cat's strength and stealth but not the right speed" Shadow said.
"All right, then. If you're so good at kicking ass and being a badass a lot, you're definitely not good at smiling at everything that's fun. Like peaceful fun" Cat Noir smirked at him.
"You're up for another round, boy?" Shadow crosses his arms.
"I'm charmeowing and totally up for another. My cat puns will surely annoy you to ultimate death" Cat Noir spun his staff.
"Then bring it on!" Shadow readies himself and spins into a red ball with a yellow trail at Cat Noir.
No matter how much strong force it felt, Cat Noir pushed him off with his spinning staff, "Careful, Shadow! My cataclysm is more dangerous than you! Cataclysm!" He activated his cataclysm, "Give up?" He laughed that there's no way Shadow can fight directly at something it can kill.
"I died many times and I can still come back!" Shadow was not afraid.
"Suit yourself!" Cat Noir said and instead destroyed a boulder, "Okay, now that I'm getting to know your edgy side, puuurrrrrhaps we should take a walk at the beach. I love water" Cat Noir being too funny.
"And I thought cats hate water," Shadow said.
"Some cats like myself love water and are excellent swimmers. I even have an aquatic suit to help me breathe underwater like a fish" Cat Noir said.
"A catfish you are then" Shadow replied coldly.
"I don't mind that. Though it did remind me when I was a kid, my mother would tell me stories about the beach. I mean I've never been to one but all I know is my father's latest summer fashions which got me to learn a bit about the palm trees and sandy beaches" Cat Noir explained why he never got the chance to visit the beach.
"I see," Shadow said.
The feline kept a photo of his parents and himself as a kid in his catsuit pocket, "My father always thinks I'm too much like my mother. He was right about one thing but he was wrong about me not being like everyone else" He showed the picture to him.
Shadow gasped quietly at Adrien's mother looking a bit like Maria due to blind hair.
"What's the matter?" Cat Noir asked.
"Your mother looks a lot like Maria but as an adult," Shadow said.
"You really do like humans with blond hair" Cat Noir chuckled.
"Yes, well, I can see you really do look like your mother. Your father doesn't seem very enthusiastic" Shadow analyzing the picture.
"No, he was a horrible man until the end," Cat Noir said.
"Define horrible" Shadow gave him the picture back.
"When my mother died, he changed a lot to a cold man. He barely leaves the mansion and he would let his assistant Nathalie do everything he couldn't do as a father. But sometimes he did a few good things but the worst part is that he forced me to get sent to London when all I wanted was to live my life in Paris. I missed my first end-of-the-school-year dance because of that. He would always break every promise to me when I'm not perfect enough. He never lets me decide with my life. He never let me invite my friends to my first birthday party because he always thinks everyone is a bad influence. Everything he says was proven wrong" Cat Noir explained about his cruel father.
Shadow listened to everything Cat Noir said. It was almost as if Black Doom was like a father figure but never saw him as anything. He was merely his pawn until he turned on him.
"Sounds like he could never move on from your mother's death nor focus on being responsible for looking after you. Your father should know better than to be way overly strict. That's not how a parent should act towards their children. Whatever he did to you, it's like he doesn't know anything about children" Shadow gave his opinion.
"Of course. That's why my friends are my true family" Cat Noir said.
"Don't get me wrong but since you said he's deceased; you have every right to be true to yourself. Be grateful he's gone so he doesn't take full control of your life. No one should be telling you what to do, kid. Everyone has their own free will and they must be wise to find happiness in life without letting their life go by and without missing out on life" Shadow explained why it's important to live a life with freedom.
"Thank you, Shadow" Cat Noir said.
"And your mother raised you well because if she didn't, you would be lost and confused. She would be proud of raising you like her own before she passed away. She had every moment with you to see you grow" Shadow said, hating to sound insightful but this kid really reminds him of Maria bringing out his old self when she was alive.
"Yeah, she would" Cat Noir looks into the sky.

Ladybug was talking to Sonic about how her life was very hard for her but she always has ways to solve complicated solutions. They took a walk in Green Hill while talking to each other.
"My parents own the best bakery in Paris. I dreamed of being a fashion designer because it's my skill to find inspiration and design fashion for my friends" Ladybug explained her life.
"Impressive Ladybug. I'd like to visit there if I could" Sonic said.
"Heh, maybe you will. With your speed, you sure exercise fast whenever you eat chili dogs. To humans, it's a very unhealthy food and they can't run fast like your speed" Ladybug said and saw a flicky bird chirping.
"Oh, that's a flicky" Sonic held his hand out to let it land on his finger.
"I never seen that type of bird," Ladybug said.
"Pretty cute, isn't it?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. Very cute indeed" Ladybug giggled.
"Sometimes I can get ahead of myself without listening. Speed is my life and part of me" Sonic said as the Flicky flew away
"So can I. But my teen life has almost always been a bully there to torment me" Ladybug said.
"Was Chloe much worse than the blockheads that bullied my best fox friend?" Sonic asked.
"Yes. Adrien told me she saw everyone as doormats rather than people and refuses to apologize" Ladybug said.
"She's really a monster. Worse than Egghead. I'm sorry you had to go through this. Doesn't she have parents to ground her for that?" Sonic asked.
"No, until her father had enough and exiled her and his ex-wife. Chloe loved to abuse her power" Ladybug said.
"At the cost of her life to get ruined. She sounds like a selfish brat. Losing everything she had only made herself a monster" Sonic shook his head.
"Yeah, I deemed her unworthy of the bee miraculous," Ladybug said.
"What happened?" Sonic asked.
"Oh, she revealed herself in public for example," Ladybug said.
"And I suppose she was not very careful with herself? That's another reason why villains and selfish brats get foolish all the time without responsibility and awareness. But since you said she's exiled, she can't humiliate anyone anymore. She's powerless" Sonic chuckled and came to the beach to see Shadow and Cat Noir.
"Hey there, Kitty" Ladybug greeted Cat Noir.
"Hey, bugaboo. Getting along with blue speedy guy?" Cat Noir asked.
"Yup, and you with Shadow?" Ladybug guessed.
"We are getting along well" Cat Noir held Shadow up, "Like being both black animals"
"Put me down" Shadow snarled.
"Calm down, Shads" Cat Noir purred to make him not get aggressive.
"Is he purring?!" Sonic heard him purr.
"Yes. he can. It's adorable and it's calming Shadow down" Ladybug laughed a little.
"Oh. He never calms down from anything but this is a first. Aww…..you made a cat friend, Shadow" Sonic snickered.
"Shut up, Faker" Shadow scowled at him.
"Puuuuuuurrrrrrr" Cat Noir still purred while snuggling him.
"This is humiliating!" Shadow groaned.
"Okay" Cat Noir puts him down, "I know you didn't prick me with your quills when you had the chance"
"Because I didn't want to," Shadow said.
"Awww…..you do have a soft side" Ladybug giggled.
