Earphone Kat and Mister Bug took a fighting stance as Class 1-A got ready for anything. JinxBug looked fierce as she wrapped her whip around her arm and attached it to her hip.

Earphone Kat wasn't sure what she might pull out of her sleeve this time around. Mister Bug gave her a comforting wink, and they both stood their ground against her.

"Who's this?" JinxBug asked her, sounding a little annoyed, "First Mister Bug is back, and now you've gotten a new Black Cat holder."

"I-I'm Ea-Earphone Kat, and I'm here to stop you," She introduced as she gripped onto the baton a little tighter.

JinxBug couldn't help but laugh at how nervous she looked, sending shivers all around Class 1-A. They all wanted to help out Jirou, but they let Mister Bug handle it until they were needed.

"You? But, you're shaking where you're standing."

Earphone Kat stood up taller, and she got ready to pounce when she noticed Mister Bug taking out his yo-yo.

"Come on, Ladybug. I know you don't want to fight me," Mister Bug said, twirling the yo-yo like a lasso and it glowed bright pink.

"It looks like you're Ladybug now, Bugaboy," JinxBug said as she launched herself at the two new Parisian heroes.

Mister Bug wrapped his yo-yo around her, but she was expecting that and broke free from the string and went for Earphone Kat. She saw JinxBug coming a mile away and quickly got on all fours and pounced away, dodging her attack. Then she pulled out her baton, and extended it right where JinxBug's feet had landed. She couldn't catch it in time, and JinxBug tripped right in front of Class 1-A.

They all looked at Earphone Kat, surprised to see Jirou acting like a cat. They'd never seen fight like, let alone pounce. It was kind of weird, but Ashido's eyes sparkled watching her friend fight off not just any akumatized hero. But Ladybug that just fell face first into the dirt.

JinxBug got up, pulling out her whip with the most menacing look on her face. EraserHead tried using his quirk on her, but he knew it wouldn't do anything. He wrapped his scarf around the whip to stop her from going after his student. She gave him a look that even surprised him.

"Let go of my whip, old man," JinxBug insulted as she yanked the scarf, but it wouldn't let up.

EraserHead made sure she stayed there by launching another end of the scarf right at her, but she ran even with the scarf wrapped around her. He tried to hold her back, but she was too strong, and he ended up losing her.

JinxBug's whip twirled as she ran towards Mister Bug and snapped her whip right at him. He was able to dodge, and they met face to face. Mister Bug gripped on her fists as she tried to push him back with hers. She tried to go after his Miraculous, but he wouldn't let go of her hands.

"Come on, Ladybug. Stop what you're doing right now," Mister Bug demanded, "I don't want to hurt you."

"It's JinxBug! And I'm not stopping until I get the Ladybug Miraculous back!" JinxBug yelled at him as she pushed him towards the ground.

Mister Bug felt his knees start to buckle, and he wanted to reach out for his yo-yo. Earphone Kat tried to go after her whip, but JinxBug saw her in the corner of her eye and threw Mister Bug at her. Earphone Kat caught him just in time, but ended landing on each other. She felt a blush forming underneath her mask as Mister Bug stirred up and faced JinxBug.

Suddenly, the whip went straight for Earphone Kat, but Mister Bug ended up pushing her out of the way. The whip wrapped around him and pulled him closer to JinxBug.

"Mister Bug!" Earphone Kat cried out as she tried to reach out to him.

JinxBug was about to grab the Ladybug Miraculous, when Earphone Kat ran alongside the building and jumped on top of her. She knocked the whip out of her grip, and Mister Bug was able to push her away. Mister Bug took the whip and was about to snap it in half, but then someone kicked him down while he was distracted and took the whip back. He looked up to see Monarch standing next to JinxBug, holding her whip out to her.

He gave Earphone Kat a strange look, which made her take a step back. The Black Cat Miraculous was in someone else's grasp while he held a ring that wasn't it. His eyes darted from Earphone Kat's ring to his own and noticed what he was wearing.

He had given this ring Natalie. And now Cat Noir had it and tricked him.

"Where did you get this?!" Monarch yelled at Mister Bug as he pulled out the ring, "I gave this to Natalie! Not someone like you!"

Mister Bug looked about ready to punch his own father in the face. Earphone Kat stood by his side and swung her baton out.

"She gave it to me for safe keeping," Mister Bug explained to him with an angry glare, "Don't worry, I tend to get it back!"

Monarch gripped onto the ring and gave him a piercing glare that he wasn't expecting. Something about it didn't seem right. He put the ring back on and stood up against the new heroes.

"Tell me Mister Bug, where's Adrien?" Monarch asked him, "Natalie wouldn't give this ring to just anybody. Where is Adrien Agreste?"

Mister Bug suddenly felt a strange tug, like something getting him to tell him the truth. He tried to fight it, but all he could do was give Earphone Kat a look that something wasn't right. She didn't understand what he was getting at, but she knew he had to stop Monarch before he knew the truth.

"Ca-Cataclysm!" Earphone Kat called out as she ran towards Monarch, "There's no way I'm letting you find Adrien!"

JinxBug blocked her with her whip and wrapped her up in it and sent her over to Monarch. He gave her a menacing look as he gripped her arm and made her use the cataclysm on a lamppost next to them. She quickly gripped onto her baton with her free arm and tried to hit him with it.

He was much stronger than her and was able to pin her down.

Class 1-A noticed that Jirou was in trouble and jumped in to help her out. Bakugo let off a few explosions coming Monarch's way, but JinxBug got in the way and wrapped her whip around his arm and threw him towards Kirishima and Iida. They we're able to catch him, but they noticed Monarch was only inches away from taking Earphone Kat's Miraculous.

"Jirou!" Ashido called out, but quickly covered her mouth. She had accidentally revealed who she was underneath the mask.

"So, you're one of the heroes in training?" Monarch asked her, "I figured as much. It doesn't matter anyhow since your Miraculous is now mine."

"Do-Don't forget... I have more than just a Miraculous up my sleeve," Earphone Kat said to him as she plugged in her earphone jack into one of her gloves.

Before he had the chance to get away, she sent a sound wave his way. Since he was holding her down, it gave him quite the headache, and it caused him to let go of her. She got away before he had the chance to take the Black Cat Miraculous. Earphone Kat ran over to Mister Bug, who looked like he hadn't moved an inch.

"Mi-Mister Bug, what's wrong?" She asked him urgently.

He looked at her, but it looked like he barely think straight. Even Class 1-A was confused as they ran over to the Parisian hero. Midoriya didn't understand what was going on with Mister Bug, but something was stumping from taking care of the mission.

"I... I don't know... I... can't seem to move..." Mister Bug told them.

Class 1-A didn't know what to do. They needed him to take care of the akuma.

"Maybe it's JinxBug's power," Ashido said to them, "Maybe her power can stun us."

"I don't think so," Midoriya said to her, "He got hit by it a couple times and nothing happened. It happened when Monarch..."

Midoriya looked over at Monarch's ring, and he noticed that he was twisting it all around his finger. Then he looked back at Mister Bug, and it somehow seemed to click in his head what they had to do.

"Like I said before, Where is Adrien Agreste?! Tell me, now!" Monarch yelled at Mister Bug, still twisting the ring.

Mister Bug didn't even feel like a superhero at this point. He felt like he was back in his house, not as Mister Bug or Cat Noir, but as Adrien being demanded by his father to stay home. Monarch walked up to them slowly, causing EraserHead to step up and protect everyone.

"Get out of the way, hero!" Monarch growled at him, "This has nothing to do with you!"

"Actually, since my students are involved, it has everything to do with me," EraserHead said to the villain.

Monarch looked over to JinxBug, and she knew what to do.

"Jinx Charm!" JinxBug called out as she twirled her whip above her head.

And nothing happened. Instead of an object appearing, the whip began to glow purple.

She gave EraserHead a smirk and whipped at him. He quickly used his scarf to stop the whip from hitting him. Then his scarf began to glow and, it began to wrap around him. It tightened around him, causing him to buckle onto the ground.

"EraserHead!" Iida cried as his classmates made sure he was okay.

They tried to rip the scarf off of him, but it wasn't budging. Not even a little.

Mister Bug still stood there, watching his friends help their teacher. He wanted to help, but was too nervous to do so. Monarch was only inches away from him, and he couldn't even step back from him.

"Mister Bug, where's my son?" Monarch asked him under his breath.

Earphone Kat heard a beeping coming from the Black Cat Miraculous, and soon enough, she detransformed into Earphone Jack. JinxBug was still going after her, but she stood her ground as other classmates tried to help her pin down Parisian's hero.

Mister Bug noticed Monarch twisting the ring on his finger and suddenly felt the truth slip out.

"I-I'm... Adrien Agreste..."

Outside of Gabriel's Mansion...

Lila Rossi was walking along the gates of Gabriel Agreste's mansion, knowing that the gate was finally open. She found it wide open, for anyone to walk in and take whatever they wanted. She had watched all of the heroes in training and Cat Noir leave, and then noticed that Ladybug had been akumatized.

She smiled at the sight of Ladybug with a whip in her hand and took off towards the others. Monarch followed behind her, and Lila hid behind the gate to make sure he wouldn't spot her.

Once he was once gone, Lila stepped through the gate and headed straight towards the mansion. She noticed the butterfly window at the top of it had a missing piece where someone could climb in.

Someone with superpowers.

If only she had a Miraculous of some sort, she'd be able to get in their problem.

But then, she caught in the corner of her eye. Something was poking out of a bush right by the front gates. Lila walked up to it curiously and found a bag. As she dug through it, she had found all sorts of photos and documents of Gabriel Agreste.

And a picture of him holding the Peacock Miraculous.

Lila's eyes widened when she finally got some sort of proof that Gabriel Agreste is in fact, HawkMoth.

She felt a smile form on her face as she tucked in the one photo into her back pocket and put the bag back where she'd found it.

"Gotcha..."
