POV Narrator
Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of the world's major centers of finance, diplomacy, commerce, fashion, gastronomy and science.
For its prominent role in the arts and sciences, as well as its very first street lighting system, it became known as "the City of Light" in the 19th century.
Nowadays Paris is famous for the local super-hero couple Ladybug and Chat Noir and the super-villain Papillon.
XXX
For just over nine months, Papillon has appeared on the scene, using a magical artifact, Butterfly Miraculous, to transform innocent civilians into Akuma, super-villains who can gain all kinds of superpowers.
This process is called, Akumatization.
It's works something like this, Butterfly Miraculous's owner first uses the Miraculous to detect strong emotions, presumably to detect when someone needs help.
When they do, they can also hear thoughts associated with those emotions.
They then infuse magical energy into a butterfly, transforming it into an Akuma.
The Akuma is then sent on his way to find the person he is supposed to bond with.
Once the Akuma reaches the person, it possesses an important item belonging to them and creates a telepathic link between the person and the Butterfly Miraculous owner.
Akuma's recipient is strongly obligated to accept the powers Miraculous's owner is offering them, even if it's against their better judgment.
Once the person agrees to work with the owner of Miraculous, the person becomes enveloped in dark purple magical aether.
When the aether dissolves, the person transforms into a superpowered being.
The powers conferred correspond to the personality characteristics and/or circumstances of the recipient.
It works by transforming recipients' emotions into superpowers; the stronger the emotions the person felt at the moment of Akumatization, the stronger his powers will be.
Papillon's latest victim was Gina Dupain, known on the popular Ladyblog, as Befana, a Candy-Witch themed supervillain.
XXX
The typical day in Paris from the appearance of Ladybug, Chat Noir, Papillon, can be summarized quite simply.
An ordinary person gets a bad one, then an Akuma appears and turns the civilian into a super-villain.
In a matter of seconds, Papillon's fledgling pawn begins to go insane and attempts to solve his personal problems in a rather violent way, using his newly obtained superpowers at the cost of their free will and sanity.
Shortly thereafter Ladybug and Chat Noir appear on the scene. Papillon orders his pawn to defeat the heroes and take their Miraculous.
The fight can last a few minutes or several hours. But in the end, through a mix of jokes, side plans and the use of their magical powers, the two heroes save the day.
Everyone is happy and content. Except Papillon who promises revenge against the heroes and that next time he will be able to get the Miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir.
This event replayed over and over, in the same pattern, almost like a teen cartoon.
The townspeople love their heroes, but the more realistic ones can't help but feel a sense of futility towards Ladybug and Chat Noir.
What's the point of fighting an Akuma every few days, if Papillon remains safe, hidden in his lair, waiting for the next pawn to use?

Today is a beautiful day in Paris, the sky is clear, the temperatures are not too high or too low, practically the perfect day to visit the city.
But our point of interest is not one of the many tourist attractions of the city.
At the moment, in a certain bakery/pastry shop, a rather interesting meeting is about to take place.
XXX
Boulangerie Patisserie bakery owners, Sabine and Tom, are, as usual, creating some of the best patisserie in Paris.
Today, the husband and wife are not working alone, they are assisted by their dear daughter, Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Marinette is a 14-year-old girl, 142 centimeters tall, known to be one-quarter French and one-quarter Italian (on her father's side) and half Chinese (on her mother's side).
She has a fair complexion followed by shoulder-length black hair with blue highlights that is always seen pulled back in pigtails, light pink lips, bright bell eyes, and slight freckles on either side and the bridge of her nose.
Marinette wears a very dark gray blazer with rolled-up sleeves; the inside of the blazer is lined in white with light fuchsia polka dots, and it has black trimming.
Underneath, she wears a white t-shirt with black stitching and a flower design below the collar.
The design itself has pink flowers and black leaves. She wears pink rolled-up jeans and light pink ballet flats with reddish brown soles. She also sports black earrings.
" It's so nice to see the whole family together and cook together." Tom said, in a very happy voice, appreciating his daughter's help in the kitchen.
"If it weren't for school, homework and my many projects, I would help you both more." Marinette said, sincerely wanting to help her parents more often, but too many commitments and responsibilities to do so.
The greatest commitment of all is to be Ladybug, the heroine of Paris who saves the day on a regular basis.
The small moment of peace between Marinette and her parents was interrupted when her mother noticed something.
" Marinette, I think we have two girls who have a problem." Sabine said, pointing to the store window displaying some of their products.
Sabina, being a kind woman, cannot help but help people in need, a trait she passed on to her daughter.
Though Marinette can go overboard when trying to help her friends.
On the other side of the shop window there are two girls who are looking at the prices of the products, one of them is holding a smartphone and in the other hand a wallet.
"Both girls have been looking at the prices and have been arguing with each other for five minutes.
I think the girls are tourists and have trouble with our currency or reading our language." Sabine said, pretty sure she was right.
After all, Sabine has already seen a fair amount of troubled tourists with quite a few reasons and they were once in their shoes during her early days in Paris.
"Marinette, could you help those two girls?" Sabine asks, knowing that girls would feel better if she was a girl their age talking to them.
"No problem, mom." Marinette answers, as she washes the flour off her hands and walks out of the family store.
But a witch and a Saber-class Heroic Spirit, both lovesick, almost as much as Marinette herself.
XXX
Once Marinette walked out of the shop she could see the two girls well.
The girl who holds a wallet and a smartphone in her hands appears to be 16 years old.
She is 165cm tall, with pale skin and golden eyes.
Her hair is lilac colored, it is held in a medium length ponytail.
She possesses a slim and toned body, the ideal body type for a model who keeps fit or an attractive sportswoman.
Its three sizes are: B80, W55, H80.
The girl was dressed in a white top under a purple jumper with dark purple rims and belt, brown boots, and a black hairband.
The girl also wears a purple shoulder strap with different decorations from The Good Witch Azura franchise.
Little does Marinette know that this girl is Amity Blight, a prodigy witch from the Boiling Isles and Luz's girlfriend. Amity, along with her cousin, Amelia, were invited by Luz and Bruce to come with them on vacation.
'She's a very pretty girl, I like how she dyed her hair, maybe I could use a similar color for a dress.' Marinette thinks, observing the look of the lilac-haired girl.
Marinette being a fashion designer can't help but get inspiration from the environment and the people around her.
Marinette shifted her attention to the second girl, the next instant, her brain exploded… metaphorically speaking.
'This girl must be a professional model or an actress, because she is the most beautiful girl I've seen in my life!' Think Marinette, speechless for the beauty of the second girl.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng likes boys; she might like a certain model with green eyes and blond hair too much.
But being an ethereal girl doesn't stop him from feeling a mixture of admiration and jealousy for this beautiful girl.
The alleged actress/model should be around 16 years old, 160cm, her three dimensions are: B77 W54 H76.
She is beautiful beyond words like a Goddess, smooth and healthy tanned skin without any blemishes, red eyes that sparkle like the stars themselves and hair as white as freshly fallen snow from the sky.
She wears a black leather jacket that covers a white T-shirt with the words "good or bad" etched into it.
The white haired girl is also wearing short black jeans that reach to her upper thigh.
She also wears black knee high boots with red stockings covering her thighs. There is the headset on top of the head.
(The name of this outfit is Altera Next Door).
This girl is Attila the Hun, alias Altera, the first Heroic Spirit summoned by Busto Belmont and, also, the only Servant currently available in Paris.
Because the invocation and maintenance system used and created by Bruce works wonders when operating in a single city.
But when it comes to commuting outside of Boston, the system shows its flaws and limitations.
Contacts with Servants are temporarily suspended and the whole system is temporarily closed.
Then, when Bruce arrives at his destination, the system must be reinstalled and activated, a process that can take a few days or weeks, all depending on the magic concentration of the current area.
Until the system is back to working at 100%, Bruce can invoke and maintain a single Servant, instead of the extreme maximum of 15 Servants.
Returning to the main story.
Marinette has finished being bewitched by Altera's beauty, returning to thinking as usual.
' Adrien how could I forget you, when he hardly notices you?
Even if he wouldn't see this foreign and aesthetic girl, there are plenty of other pretty girls, each one better than a flat girl with no sex appeal.' Said a small voice in Marinette's head, which marks how low her self-esteem has fallen.
Shaking her head slightly, Marinette manages to push away her bad thoughts, focusing on doing a good deed.
'Let's try French first, if it doesn't work I'll try English, even if I'm not that good at speaking English.' Marinette thinks as she walks towards the two girls.
"Hi, I noticed you two from inside the shop, do you need any help?" She politely asks Marinette, speaking in French, hoping the two girls can understand her.
The lilac-haired girl hastily puts her personal items inside the shoulder bag.
"No, everything is going according to plan." Said the girl with the hair, obviously lying for some reason.
The pale-skinned girl speaks acceptable French, though with a heavy accent that Marinette can't recognize.
"Actually, Amity, she can't understand what's written on it or how the local currency works. But she doesn't want to acknowledge that she's an illiterate girl in this country." Said the white-haired girl in an apathetic voice.
The girl with the tanned skin speaks perfect French, without any form of accent or difficulty.
" Altera, there are certain things you shouldn't say out loud!" Amity exclaims, her face flushed with embarrassment, not happy with her friend's words.
' The lilac-haired girl is Amity; the white-haired girl is Altera, such an unusual name.' Think Marinette, learning the names of the two foreign girls.
Alters ignoring Amity's words approaches Marinette.
"You, do you work in this delicacy shop?" Altera asks, in a monotone voice, not showing an iota of emotion.
"Yes, it's my parents' shop, when I have free time, I help them cook and sell the products." Marinette answers, in a subdued voice, slightly intimidated by Altera.
"If it doesn't bother you, could you help make some purchases?" Amity asks, putting aside her mindless pride, to buy something delicious.
" With great pleasure." Marinette replies, with a small smile on her lips.
The heroine of Paris feels that it is easier to talk to Amity than to Altera.
Marinette opens the door and signals for the two girls to enter the shop.
XXX
Once inside, Marinette asked a simple question: "Girls, do you know what you want to buy? Cakes, pastries, sweets of various kinds, pastries, hot chocolates, candies, creams?"
"I'm not really sure what to get, I don't know much about cooking… French or pastries." Amity said, with a forced smile, as if she was about to make a mistake, but she managed to avoid it.
' Remember, Amity, don't say things like human food or human art.
You don't want to make people think you're an alien girl or attract unwanted attention.' Think Amity, too used to holding back with people who know about the Boiling Isles or don't mind non-humans.
" What is your best product ?" Question Altera, not having the doubts or indecisions of Amity.
" Not to brag, but my family has the best macarons in Paris." Marinette said in a voice full of pride.
"So, I'll take all the macarons in the shop." Altera said, in a deadly serious voice, pulling a gold credit card out of his jacket, also commonly called Gold cards.
Marinette opens her eyes wide, unable to believe Altera's absurd request.
"Aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Amity asks, trying to get Altera to think about the amount of shopping she wants to do.
At that moment, Sabine came out of the kitchen, behind the counter.
"Welcome girls, I see you two have already met my daughter Marinette. I'm Sabine, what can I help you with today?" Sabine asks, in a gentle tone, expecting an easy sale and some pleasant small talk.
" Good morning, madam, I want a chocolate cake for two people, while Altera wants a box of macheron." Amity said, trying to gain the upper hand and keep Altera from making trouble.
Altera pushes Amity aside, stepping in front of Sabine.
" Don't listen to his order. I want all the macheron in the shop, a big cake and something salty." Altera said in a monotonous voice as he hands the gold credit card to Sabine.
' Is this girl serious ?' Marinette thinks, delivering a strange look to Altera.
"Are you planning a big party?" Sabine asks, trying to figure out why the white-haired girl made such an out-of-the-ordinary request.
"No party. I want to court my husband properly." Altera replies, seeing nothing wrong with explaining her motivation.
For the second time this day, Marinette's brain short-circuited.
"Are You Married At Your Age!?" Marinette exclaims aloud, unable to believe that a girl slightly older than her is already married.
" I am of age." Declares Altera, keeping a perfect poker face.
"Anyway, you look too young to marry. Didn't your parents say something?" Marinette asks, pretty sure most parents would be against a marriage at such a young age.
"They didn't tell me anything. The people who raised me have been dead for a long time." Altera replies, with a voice devoid of feelings.
The White-Haired Girl is a Heroic Spirit, a person who existed centuries ago and performed legendary feats.
So it's no surprise that all of Altera's acquaintances are long gone.
Unfortunately, Marinette and Sabine cannot know this fact, so I react like normal people.
" I am very sorry !" Marinette exclaims, apologizing to Altera for touching a sensitive button.
"My condolences. The cake is free." Sabine said, trying to do something good for the girl who lost her parents.
" About the parents I can't say anything. But, Altera is not married, even if she treats her relationship as if it were a marriage, using the word consort instead of boyfriend or lover." Amity said, resolving the misunderstanding centered around Altera's status.
'This is girl takes her romance seriously.' Marinette thinks, feeling a little envy for Altera and discontent with herself.
Other girls manage to address their fiancé as their future husband, while she can barely get a word out in front of Adrien.
"Is this your first time in Paris?" Sabine asks, subtly trying to change the subject, not wanting to talk about uncomfortable subjects.
"Over the past couple of years, I've taken small trips to different places in North America and South America.
I have also been to England, Japan and Romania.
But I haven't been to Paris before, it's a beautiful city." Amity said, mentioning some of her trips with Luz (and Bruce, the one who paid for the tickets).
" You are slightly older than me and you have seen half the world. Do your parents travel often ?" She asks Marinette, in a voice full of curiosity, wishing she could take such trips, but being the hero of Paris, she is stuck in Paris until Papillon is defeated.
At the word parents Amity's smile almost disappeared, things in the Blight house have improved.
But Amity much prefers to spend her free time in the Clawthorne-Noceda house, so much so that spare room number one has unofficially become her private room.
The same happened with Marcy, although in her case of the nerdy girl, things between her and her parents are subtly escalating.
" No, my parents have nothing to do with my travels.
My fiancée's family travels a lot and every time they invite me to come with them." Amity said, with a saccharine smile, loving to explore the sights of the Human Realm alongside Luz.
"Also, Altera is in the same situation as me." She said Amity, not allowing the white-haired girl to tell how she participated in this holiday.
Because Altera is not a great liar, he may be the historical figure who contributed to the creation of an empire and the destruction of the Roman empire, but his war skills do not translate into fine political skills, such as lying.
"In this we are equal, we are two girls who have received too much love than they deserve and we don't know how to pay it back. But that means we can't try." Altera said, in a melancholy voice, showing a faint but beautiful smile.
"Girls, that family must love you if they invite you on their family vacation." Sabine said, being able to feel the happiness radiating from Amity and Altera when they talk about their love.
"They're one big messed up family and I have a complicated relationship with one of them, but I wouldn't trade them for anything." Amity said having only good words to say about the Clawthorne-Noceda family, except for one single person, Bruce Belmont, her Frenemy.
Frenemy is an oxymoron and a portmanteau of "friend" and "enemy" that refers to "a person with whom one is friendly, despite a fundamental dislike or rivalry" or "a person who combines the characteristics of a friend and an enemy".
"So you two want to grab something sweet to thank them for taking you to Paris?" Question Sabine, beginning to understand why Altera wants to overdo it, she wants to thank her boyfriend.
"I want to give my fiancée a little surprise and test the waters to see what she likes best.
It's almost two years since we got together and I'm planning something special." Amity said, with a certain blush on her cheeks, almost not believing that it's been almost two years since she became Luz's girlfriend.
" You've been engaged for two whole years how did you manage ?" Marinette asks, knowing that most teenage relationships last weeks or months, rarely years.
Marinette has become interested in finding out the secret to Amity's success, perhaps this could help her get closer to Adrien.
"Can I buy something or do I have to tell you two my whole life?" Altera asks, in a less monotonous voice.
Predictably one of them would lose her temper, after all they came to a bakery/pastry shop for delicious food, not a group therapy session.
"Right away, have you decided what to order?" Sabine asks, returning to her professional manner.
" A chocolate cake for two people, a large suitcase cake with strawberries and cream, three boxes of macheron of all flavours." Amity said, having decided to get something for Luz, Bruce and the rest of the Clawthorne-Noceda family.
" Well, we'll do as you want." Altera said, putting aside her idea of emptying the shop of all her macherons.
XXX
A few minutes later, the two foreign girls are outside the shop, Altera holding the entire food order in her arms.
" I hope you two and your friends enjoy our products. If you like them, come back for more." Marinette said, greeting the two cute but strange girls.
Amity and Altera prepare to leave, Amity walking right, Altera walking left.
" Altera, where are you going, is the hotel over there ?" Amity said, pointing in the direction she walks.
"No, my spouse is in the opposite direction, so the hotel is from there." Altera said, in her usual monotonous voice, using her Servant-Master connection as a geographical reference.
No, my consort is in the opposite direction, so the hotel is this way." Altera said, in her usual monotonous voice, using her Servant-Master connection as a geographic reference.
"Altera, do you seriously think that a person like Belmont will be locked up in a hotel room all day?" Amity said, pretty sure if she followed her "radar" they'd end up underground or in front of a crime scene.
The white-haired girl doesn't answer, just lowers her head.
"Do you have an idea of how to find the hotel?" Altera asks, not having paid much attention to the road.
" I believe ?" Amity said, shrugging, not too sure of her trustworthiness.
Paris is a big city and I haven't been around for even 24 hours.
"Girls, are you lost by any chance?" Marinette asks, seeing Amity and Altera have no idea where to go.
" Perhaps ?" I admit Amity, with a certain blush on her cheeks, embarrassed that she can't remember the way back.
" Do you know the way to Le Grand Paris ?" Altera asks, handing the name of the destination to Marinette.
"I can guide you both to the hotel with my eyes closed." Marinette said, not exaggerating her abilities in the slightest.
Both as Marinette and as Ladybug, she has gone to that hotel so many times that she knows the street by heart.
" Very well, you will be rewarded for this service." Altera said in a monotonous voice, standing behind her close to Marinette.
XXX
Meanwhile, Marinette is about to take Amity and Altera to the hotel, Le Grand Paris.
Altera's Master, Bruce Belmont, appears to be somewhere in the catacombs of Paris.
Bruce wears clothing, less sci-fi and more Detective Noir.
Bruce wears a white collared shirt, paired with a black leather waistcoat with silver buttons closed, a red tie and black leather gloves.
A red snakeskin belt with a silver buckle.
Pretty tight black pants, paired with red-black running shoes.
Finally, his last piece of clothing is an old black leather coat, with a large number of pockets and zippers.
Long story short, Bruce is dressed like he's a detective from a film noir.
In front of Bruce, floating a foot above the ground, is a black cube that glows as tiny lights appear and disappear within its inky depths.
"Daedalus cube, start leyline connection." Bruce commands his magical artifact to proceed to do his job.
The Black Cube glows brightly for a moment, then begins to drip a purple-black substance from inside.
Slowly, a tar-like puddle was forming.
Inside the puddle, a bone-white plant is germinating.
"In a few days, the Daedalus Cube will have synchronized with the Leylines of Paris, then Tamamo-no-Mae and Nero will make their debut." Comments Bruce, crossing his arms, as he watches as the puddle and the plant are growing.
Considering he's seen enough, Bruce turns and begins walking out of the catacombs.
" Sora, Ilias, I leave it to you to protect Daedalus' Cube until it is fully functional. You can take turns who stays in the catacombs and who stays on the surface." Bruce said, pulling out of the sleeves of his jacket, two small books, with an antique look, delimited by thin chains.
After these words, the chains broke and the two little books began to float behind Bruce.
Each of these books are Legendary Grimoires, that is, very powerful magical books capable of autonomous thought and taking on a human appearance.
Both books opened, releasing a dense amount of magic, forming two physical and female bodies.
Sora took the form of a petite young woman with long gray-white hair and a large black bow atop her head. Sora is the shortest and least equipped of the group, standing just 145cm tall while her three her sizes are B76 / W54 / H76.
Her attire consists of a black strapless tank top with white stripes connected to a black choker with a metal ring, a red miniskirt with white dresses, black stockings, and brown loafers.
In addition, he also sports black sleeves held together with white bands, a black belt with a grommet, small black belts on both legs with the right one on the upper thigh and the left one on the ankles.
"If you insist, I will stay in the catacombs until the sun goes down, after which I want a reward under the moonlight." Sora said, in a playful voice, acting like a kind of flirtatious friend.
Ilias took the form of a young girl of 16, with curvaceous proportions (B83/W57/H84) and long light green hair held back by a dark cloth like a headband. She is the second shortest of the Grimoires, being only 157cm tall.
Her attire mainly includes a long-sleeved dark mini dress with a white-trimmed cape collar and tied together with a red ribbon. In addition, she also wears black thigh socks and a pair of brown loafers.
" As you wish, Little Master, I will protect Daedalus' Cube at the cost of my life." Ilias promises, behaving like a well-trained guard dog who loves his Master.
"If anything happens, let me know without hesitation." Bruce murmurs, waving goodbye to his Legendary Grimoires, before disappearing into the shadows of the catacombs.

Perhaps some wonder why there were so many more Servants in Boston, helping the Clawthorne-Noceda Family keep the city and surrounding area safe?
But now in Paris there is only Altera who can Bruce in his business?
It all depends on one of the greatest and most complex inventions created by Bruce Belmont: The Black Cube.
Even if he now calls it, the Cube of Daedalus, in honor of the greatest genius and craftsman of ancient Greece.
This artifact is responsible for Bruce's ability to summon and maintain Servants in this World.
The construction and development of the Cube started about two years ago.
Each crucial step of the Cube's creation is closely connected with Bruce's participation in three different Magical Rituals, each of these Rituals being an altered version of Fuyuki's Holy Grail War.
First step; When Bruce participated as Master of Saber (Altera), during the Second Grail War of the Boiling Isles, he managed to obtain a fragment of the Greater Grail core which was created by House Bahamut and Belos' accomplices.
Second step; when Bruce fought with Class Cards Saber (Nero Claudius), in the Sixth War of the Ainsworths, he was able to analyze the exterior and interior of Pandora's Box, as well as recover its remains.
After these two Wars, Bruce used his cursed blood, the knowledge collected on Kaleidosticks, the techniques of creation of the Fairy and the materials collected during the two wars to create the prototype of the Cube of Daedalus.
The first result was a cursed weapon of the first category, capable of corrupting and/or poisoning enemies, while strengthening/healing the user.
Moreover, it allows the user to interact with the Class Cards.
Third step; Bruce did a brief but intense research on the fundamental pieces of the Original Holy Grail War, created by the Three Founding Families: Thosaka, Einzbern and Makiri.
First of all, Bruce traveled to London where he paid a visit to Zelretch requesting as payment for his services, Zelretch's personal notes on Fuyuki's Holy Grail War.
Then he negotiated with Rin Tohsaka, getting very valuable information in exchange for a huge sum of money and the title deed to several diamond mines.
Traveling through Germany, Bruce attempted to negotiate with the Einzberns, but it proved to be an unsuccessful process.
So Bruce used force, attacking the Einzbern castle at night, causing a massacre to gain access to their private library and take their centuries-old Magic Crest.
After that, Bruce traveled to Japan, where it all started, Fuyuki City.
Once I set foot in that city, I visit the remains of the Makiri or Matou ghost house, then he searched for information in the Matou tombs. Bruce through necromancy and spiritism has achieved acceptable results.
Then, Bruce visited Mount Enzou, Ryuudou cavern, Ryuudou Temple, wanting to inspect the place where the Greater Grail was inserted/forged.
Once all the information was gathered, Bruce updated the Black Cube, introducing inside it, his version of the spiritual foundations of the Three Founding Families.
Once the process was completed, Bruce tested the Cube at the rising of the moon inside the Ryuudou Temple, wanting to invoke Altera or Nero again.
Like a certain Faker from another timeline, Bruce wants to see again the two Heroic Spirits who have captured his interest.
But Bruce can't wait for a lifetime of heroism to meet them on the Heroes' Throne, so he sets out to create the Cube.
Unfortunately, instead of Altera or Nero, Bruce invoked Caster of Red (Tamamo-no-Mae), unknowingly enrolling himself in the Apocryphal Holy Grail War.
Fourth step; Bruce won the Apocryphal Holy Grail War with Tamamo-no-Mae.
Before cutting the Greater Grail in two and throwing it into the Black Sea, Bruce expressed his wish, granting the Black Cube a copy of the Greater Grail's "main program".
The Black Cube became the Cube of Daedalus, gaining the ability to store and repair the Saint Graphs of fallen Servants, as well as create Class Cards based on them and, also, the reverse create Saint Graphs based on Class Cards.
With this update to the Cube, Bruce was able to invoke and maintain Altera, Nero, and Tamamo-no-Mae indefinitely.
Although there were problems when the Cube is not connected to an area with a rich magical land.
For this reason, together with an ambition to achieve and complete the Cube according to his almost impossible designs.
Bruce continued to work on Daedalus' Cube, managing to find ways to improve it, thanks to the discoveries and conquests he made during his adventures in Amphibia, Gravity Falls, Nevermore Academy and other exotic locations.
It is in the near future, Ladybug, Chat Noir and Papillon, will learn on their own skin to know the improvements and tricks of the Daedalus Cube.
