Marinette didn't know what to do when Alya abandoned her for Lila, so she turned to online gaming. The people she met there helped her to smile again, but things take a harsh turn when Alya smacks her across the face. Not knowing who to turn to, she unloaded everything to the Americans she befriended. Little did she know they had more in common with her than she ever knew.

34. Ghost Meets Ladybug

Inkaliber: Welcome back everyone! It's the moment you've all been waiting for! It's time for the Fenton family vacation to Paris! I've been waiting for this moment just as long as you guys! Are you ready crew!

Kim, Rose, Adrien, Deadpool, and Danielle: Aye-aye captain!

Inkaliber: I can't hear you!

Chloe: No offense, Pops, but the rest of us are not gonna add to it.

Inkaliber:… I'm not making Spongebob jokes ever again. Also, Wayde, what are you doing here? The only reason I'm not kicking you out is that I'm more confused than angry.

Deadpool: I'm supporting my favorite ship in this story! Black Specter forever!

Inkaliber:… I'll allow it this time. Let's just start with some reviews.

Fregreg- That does sound rather hilarious.

Gundoru- Glad you liked the set up. Honestly so far I only thought of the world details on the fly and had to come up with some basics for their characters. Oh trust me, this chapter is definitely going to have some fun to it.

LunarCouncillor- Thanks! I came up with the world and the few bits of lore on the fly, though I may talk with a friend of mine about it. Things will definitely be interesting when Danny goes to Paris. Cujo is indeed one of the "best boys" of the series.

Njistar- Don't give me ideas, lol. It is good for Danny and Juleka to finally be in the same place.

TiamatDragoness- Glad my ideas for Sam's campaign world were good! I figured it would be good to tie back to Wulf with some usage of Esperanto. I figured Beastboy would be chaotic enough to choose a goblin and the druid just made sense. I'm hoping that Danny's trip to Paris will be a great read for you guys! I'm glad you like the story so much!

Classiccartoon27- Maybe he will. Maybe he won't. You won't have to wait long for the Fenton Vacation!

Ghust95- Thanks for the hearts, Ghust!

Speedykitten1643- It's fine man! We all have those moments where we miss something that happened. You won't have to wait long to see how the vacation starts.

Sara_Shadowwyng- That's an interesting idea for a character in DnD. If the Fenton tech could affect Akumas, they'd be very interested. It would definitely be hilarious to see that.

Fireflyarc- This is the first I've heard of Ghost Force. I'm not entirely sure what that is. I'm glad you like the DnD bit.

Fvni- That is certainly a fact about him. Normally that would be worrying for this kind of thing. You'll just have to see what happens then.

N3ffy- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nitewolf423- Lol. We'll just see how it goes.

Omni-Trickery- I'm not entirely sure what you mean by forcefully interact unless you're talking about possession.

Inkaliber: Alright! That should be everyone! It's time to get this thing started!

Deadpool: I'm gonna push the button!

Danny: Oh come on! We need to do the disclaimer and…

Jazz: Just let it play out.

Inkaliber: Wait Wayde! That's not the…

Trap door opens

Deadpool:… I deserve this. WRONG BUTTON! Splash! AT LEAST I HAVE MY PHONE TO READ EVERYTHING! BLEEP! IT'S NOT WATER PROOF!

Inkaliber: Sigh. He'll be back soon, so let's just start. I don't own Miraculous, Danny Phantom, Marvel, DC, or any other series that show up here. I do own any original characters, concepts, creatures, and places that work their way into the story unless stated otherwise. Action!

Unknown Location

Danny mumbled as he rolled around in bed. He couldn't recall when he had gone to sleep or how long he had been. Soon he felt a hand brush against his face, prompting him to open his eyes. His eyes widened as he saw Juleka across from him, wearing a mossy green tank top and looking like an adult. She chuckled, causing him to feel a strange sense of calmness.

"Whatever happened to Phantoms never sleep?" questioned his Tigress. "You were so confident that you could stay up all night." Danny chuckled, surprised that his voice was slightly deeper.

"Well your voice just puts me in the ultimate sense of security." Admitted Danny. "You have a way of tugging at my humanity." Juleka popped him on the arm, giggling all the while. Soon the sound of fast footsteps coming their way. There was a cheer that rang through the air as the door to the bedroom was suddenly thrown open.

A sense of excitement filled Danny's heart as he saw the shapes of two little children and what looked to be an older teen. He could almost make out the cries of "Mommy" and "Daddy" as well as an apology. It almost looked like the oldest child was Danielle, oddly enough. One of the children jumped into Juleka's arms, babbling soon to follow. Danny held his arms out as one of the younglings was about to jump to him, only for the child's face to be replaced by a black alarm clock.

Danny gasped as he sat up, finding himself back in his bedroom and back to being a teen. He grumbled as he rubbed his temples. He sat up in his bed as he turned off his alarm clock.

"I actually wanted to finish that dream." Growled Danny. "I really do have it bad." He heard his phone ding, prompting him to look at it. His eyes widened as he saw a bunch of texts from classmates, most of them mentioning how he was so lucky or wishing him a good trip. The boy furrowed his brows, only to hear a knocking downstairs.

"Wake up Dann-o!" cried Jack from the other side. "We have something important to tell you and Jazz! Your mother made bacon and everything! I'm grabbing the fudge that goes with pancakes!" The sound of the big man running downstairs gave Danny a flashback to the dream he just had.

"Someday, hopefully." Danny slowly made way downstairs, Jazz joining him from behind. The older sibling shot a glare at her overly excited parents.

"I've been getting texts all morning wishing farewells." Grumbled the counselor. "What did you two do?" Danny looked to his sibling in surprise.

"You too? I had classmates saying that they'd send me the homework and lecture stuff I missed." Maddie nodded as she placed some plates with bacon and pancakes on the table.

"Well, we called the schools and told them you were most likely not going to be able to attend in person for a while." Revealed the woman. Both children looked to her in shock. Jazz growled as she clenched her fists.

"WHAT!?" cried the studious girl. "Why would you do that!? What if a quiz comes up or someone needs to see me in person!?" Danny frowned as he crossed his arms, not liking this just as much as his sister. Jack couldn't hold in his excitement anymore as he stretched out his arms.

"We got invited to the Annual Paranormal Researcher's convention!" revealed the big man. "They want to see the Fenton Spectral Containment Field in action! We're gonna be rich if we can pull off this presentation!" The siblings continued to glare at their parents, not exactly amused by the news. Anticipating this reaction, Maddie pretended to be looking over her nails.

"Your father may have also neglected to mention that the convention is taking place in Paris, France this year." Revealed the woman. "But I would understand if you didn't want to…" The mood in the room suddenly changed as Jazz suddenly leapt for joy.

"WE'RE GOING TO PARIS!?" cheered the studious girl. "WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAD WITH THAT!?" Maddie chuckled as she shook her head.

"Well I wanted to surprise you two after breakfast. Of course I didn't think your teachers would tell any of the students about it. We're leaving first thing tonight. We have to make sure everything is packed up and ready for shipment." Jazz grinned in excitement, only for a frown to appear on her face.

"It might be a little unsafe to go. Our online friends there keep telling us that there's a supervillain situation going on there. A man named Hawkmoth keeps turning people into villains to try and steal some… precious jewelry from the local heroes. From what I can see, it's pretty serious." Maddie didn't seem overly concerned by the news as her smile remained, Jack frowning as he cracked his knuckles.

"You just leave this 'Dothmawk' or whatever he's called to me if he starts causing trouble." Reassured the big man. "Heroes or no heroes, no one messes with the Fenton family on my watch." Jazz chuckled as she shook her head, embarrassed as Jack began to flex his arms. Danny tuned out any other words as he continued to stare at the floor like it grew a face.

He was actually going to Paris. That meant meeting everyone in the guild, including Juleka. Suddenly the dream he had made a reappearance in his mind, causing his chest to beat faster than usual. Maddie noticed his expression, frowning as a result.

"Is… everything alright, Danny?" questioned Mrs. Fenton. "I thought you'd be more excited." The boy in question looked up as he nodded his head.

"Everything's great Mom!" cheered Danny. "I'm just shocked is all. I have to tell Sam and Tucker about this after breakfast. I'll make sure to be back in time to pack up my stuff." His mother grinned as she nodded her head.

"I completely understand, Danny. I know it'll be hard to go without them. I do know however that you'll have a lot of time to spend with a certain someone." Danny blushed at the reminder, forgetting that his mother was already clued in on his crush. Jack suddenly clapped his hands as he got everyone's attention.

"We can talk about girlfriends and crushes later!" argued the big man. "Let's eat breakfast like the champions we are! Fentons forever!" The others chuckled at Jack's excitement, only for Maddie to yell at him to stop as he was about to chug a mug of fudge. When it came time to tell Sam and Tucker, Danny already had a clue as to what their reactions would be.

---

Later

"YOU'RE GOING TO PARIS!?" cried both Sam and Tucker. They met Danny at the Nasty Burger, surprised by the sudden urgency in meeting with them. Nothing could prepare to the looks on their faces as the news was shared with them. There were always jokes or ideas of meeting up with the other guildmates, but this was so sudden. Danny nodded as he understood their shock.

"Yeah." Answered the ghost hero. "I was so surprised then they revealed where the convention is going to take place. It was like I was having a dream. Of course, it didn't feel as real as some of my dreams lately." Ignoring the subject of dreams for obvious reasons, Sam gestured to him with a sad smile.

"Well, look at it this way." Offered the goth. "You get to see everyone and actually meet Mouse in person. Not to mention you'll get to be in the same place as Juleka for the first time ever. I'm sure you're thrilled by that." Danny blushed as he looked at the table, Tucker looking between the duo in another form of shock.

"Wait… you mean he finally recognized it?" questioned the geek. "Well then, guess I need to ask Beast, MK, and Alix if they take for payment since I just lost the bet." Danny looked to his friend, his brows furrowed in anger. "Don't blame me for your chronic obliviousness." Sam bopped Tucker in the back of the head before continuing.

"Anyway, you should totally go. Paris is lovely in spite of the villain attacks and this is your big chance." Danny looked around the room before leaning forward.

"What about Amity Park?" questioned the ghost hero. "If I'm gone and my enemies find out, they'll either follow me or try to take advantage of my absence." Sam smirked as she gestured to herself and Tucker.

"Just leave everything to us, Danny. We can always work with Cujo, and I have a few friends in mind who I think would love to help us watch over everything. This may be your only chance to go to Paris without arousing suspicion from anyone. You've worked day and night to watch over this town, so it's only fair that you get to have this trip." Danny looked to the table for a bit, only to nod as he sat straight.

"You know what? You're right. I can stay on top of school and have fun with our Paris friends. No ghost showing up or supervillain is going to stop that." Tucker grinned as he nodded his head.

"Exactly my guy." Agreed the geek. "You just leave Amity Park to us. We'll keep everything in tip-top shape for when you guys get home. I'll even wear the static shirt more just to have a stun gun against the ghosts." There was a laugh shared around the table, the energy being infectious to some of the other customers.

"That's a good one, Tucker. Anyway, I should get home and let everyone know. If I don't tell them we're coming, Rose will probably get mad about not being able to hug us first thing." Sam and Tucker nodded, allowing Danny to leave the restaurant. The ghost boy found a spot to change forms before flying back towards his home.

"Do you think I'm doing the right thing, letting him go like this?" asked Sam. Tucker looked to her, noticing the sadness in her smile. "I always thought the two of us would get together. Now I have to watch him pursue a girl he actually has a chance with." The geek chuckled as he nodded his head.

"I think it's the right thing to do for both you and Danny." Revealed Tucker. "While we didn't help anything, you almost lost your friendship with him. If the chance comes where he's single or if Juleka really doesn't like him, you can always wait a bit then approach him if your still single. Still, I'd start looking for a new guy to crush on if I were you." Sam rolled her eyes, silently agreeing with Tucker on that front.

Back with Danny, he began to type into his computer as soon as he got home. He had to let everyone know what was happening. The thought of everyone's reaction helped him to type faster than normal. He soon finished the long string of messages, looking over everything twice. He grinned as he pressed send.

GhostWatcher: Paris People, You better be ready.

The Fentons are coming to Paris!

JazzyTime: Dang it Danny!

I wanted to be the one to tell them!

SeaMonkey: WHOOOOOOOOOO!

Yeah baby!

That's what we've been waiting for!

SpiderRose: YAY!

Tactical Hug

This is incredible!

Mousegirl15: That's great news!

How did this all come about!?

Danny grinned as he typed in some more. He hadn't seen a message from Juleka yet, but he remembered her saying something about Luka taking her to a music store. He quickly pressed send, waiting for more of the magic to unfold.

GhostWatcher: Apparently some paranormal convention is going on there.

My parents were invited to show off one of their less harmful inventions.

They're looking to get famous for it.

LadyTigress16: Regardless of the reasoning, it's amazing to hear that you're coming here.

I can't believe that we're actually about to meet you guys.

CyberPegasus: It was an eventuality with how close all members of the guild have been growing.

Regardless, it is indeed a wonderous development.

HoundLover: I think you mean… Miraculous.

Mousegirl15: Hound, no. Just no.

HoundLover: Sorry.

I was just trying a hand at humor.

MajorScaless: Maybe try actual jokes rather than puns next time.

HoneyBee22: As soon as you two get here we're dragging you away from your ridiculous parents.

We'll show you all of the best places in Paris!

JazzyTime: Ooh!

You're threatening me with a fun time there Bee.

Sk8terBunny: Alright!

I'm gonna welcome noogie you guys so hard when I see you.

Mousegirl15: Maybe hold off on the noogying, Alix.

They're bound to have jetlag from the long flight.

NightwingFan: Congratulations you guys.

I hope everything works out.

GhostWatcher: We're packing up now and our flight leaves tonight.

You better get in some hugging practice, Rose!

I'm expecting you to be the first person we meet in Paris.

JazzyTime: I'm looking forward to the hug as well!

SpiderRose: I'll use the girls here in Paris for practice!

You guys better be ready for me!

Danny chuckled as he shook his head. He was about to close his computer when he got another notification. It looked like Juleka was sending him a personal message. Looking to make sure his door was locked, he opened the message. He smiled as he read over the contents.

LadyTigress16: Just making sure, but will everything be alright with Amity park?

I'd hate it if you guys had fun here, only to come back to your home being in shambles.

If it comes down to that, I can wait longer before meeting you.

Danny smiled, happy that Juleka was looking out for everyone. He quickly began to form his reply, bobbing his head back and forth. He pressed send with a grin.

GhostWatcher: Sam and Tucker said that they'd take care of it.

I think they're going to call in some ghost friends of ours.

You have nothing to worry about.

LadyTigress16: That's good to hear.

I can't wait to finally see you in person.

I have a new outfit I'm wanting to wear, so don't be surprised when you see me.

GhostWatcher: Ooh!

Now I'm really excited to see you!

You make anything look beautiful.

LadyTigress16: What a charmer.

I dare say you are flirting with me, Mr. Fenton.

GhostWatcher: Maybe I am, Mrs. Couffaine.

Is that a problem?

LadyTigress16: We'll see about that when you get here.

Have a nice flight!

Danny blushed as he powered off his computer, immediately grabbing at his face. He laid down in his bed and did his best not to giggle like a school girl. Juleka just had that kind of effect on him. He regained his composure as he began to pack with renewed vigor. Unknown to him, across the globe, Juleka was screaming into a pillow in delight as she tried to hide her blush.

---

The airport lines were far too long in Danny's opinion. He just wanted to see everyone right here and now. He practically bounced on his toes, doing his best to control his manic energy. He looked at a watch that was not there, trying to pass the time somehow. His mother noticed his nervousness as she rubbed his shoulder.

"Calm down Danny." Reassured the woman. "There are only two families ahead of us. Paris and Juleka aren't going anywhere." Danny tried not to let loose an indignant cry as he looked away. His father quickly occupied his other shoulder with a gloved hand.

"Just remember, Danny, that if she thinks ghosts are good she's not the one." Advised the big man. This advice only caused Danny to frown, prompting Maddie to jab her husband in the gut. "And… uh… it's also a turnoff if you can't be yourself around her." Jazz harrumphed as she removed both parents' hands from her brother.

"Neither of you are helping his nerves." Argued the studious girl. "Just focus on the line and let me take care of it." Both parents shrugged in response as they looked forwards. Danny let out a silent thanks as he rubbed his arm. "While they did hit the ghost button, they weren't entirely wrong."

Danny looked to his sister, confused by her comment. "Just be yourself and try to have fun with her. If she can't appreciate her for who you are, then it's her problem. You are going to show her exactly who Danny Fenton is." Danny smiled as he nodded his head.

"Thanks Jazz." Replied the boy. "I really needed that." The duo were about to join their parents in the line, only for Danny's ghost sense to go off. "Oh please not now!" Soon a familiar chuckling caught his attention.

"Look at the whelp, unable to change form without ruining whatever trip he has planned." Stated Skulker. He looked to the side, realizing that the ghost was in the perfect position with some form of sniper rifle. "No freak to save you now. All I need is one clean shot." Danny's eyes darted around the area, trying to find somewhere to transform.

Before anything could be done, however, a familiar beeping filled the air. Skulker looked to his wrist, watching as a screen popped up. "'Head outside right now?' I thought Plasmius said this couldn't be hacked by the brat anymore!" Skulker suddenly became intangible as his suit forced him to fly outside.

Danny smiled, happy that Tucker had his back this time. He just hoped that the others could handle Skulker. He walked through the scanner before showing his passport to the officials. They quickly allowed him on, the boy rushing to meet up with his folks. Hopefully all he would have to survive on this trip was the flight.

Outside, Skulker continued to scream as he crashed into the ground. He growled as he stood up, looking around for the culprit of his failed strike. He frowned as he heard a growling behind him. "How dare you interrupt in my hunt! I will hang your pelts from… my… wall…" His eyes widened as he looked upon the group before him.

Sam and Tucker stood side by side with their arms crossed, Johnny and Kitty sitting nearby on the former's motorcycle. A massive green ghost dog was standing behind them, letting loose a hideous growl. They were also joined by what appeared to be a black furred werewolf with red eyes, green claws, and green prison clothes. Behind them stood a troupe of what looked to be yeti ghosts, each wearing light armor to withstand the heat. Tucker grinned as he brought his PDA up again.

"Hey Skulker." Greeted the geek. "Going somewhere? I'd like to introduce you to the away team. Away team, meet the ghost zone's lousiest hunter." Skulker gulped, not liking his chances with four Far Frozen dwellers and a small army of ghosts.

"If it's all the same to you, I'd like to go back to the Infinite Realms now." His request was met as he was forced out of his suit. Sam trapped him in a Fenton Thermos, allowing Johnny access to the villain's suit. Kitty also seemed to be texting a message with a picture attached to someone she knew. Whatever the case, Amity Park would be safe in their hands.

Paris, France

Marinette found herself humming Ember's song as she continued to work on a jacket. She was so excited about finally finishing this commission, seeing as the customer was going to be arriving in Paris soon. The heroine couldn't believe that the she was finally going to see Jazz and Danny for the first time. She finished reminiscing as she stitched in the last spot on the sleeve. She smirked as she cut off the end of her string.

"Done!" cheered Marinette. "Danny is going to flip out when he sees this!" Tikki flew over from her resting spot, nodding her head in agreement.

"It's definitely his style, Marinette!" cheered the kwami. "I just know Danny is going to love it!" Marinette pointed at her little friend with a cheeky smirk.

"You still have to explain to me how you two met in the first place. You said something about meeting him in ancient Rome." Tikki shook her head as her smile grew.

"Maybe some other time. Right now, you probably want to hurry." Marinette furrowed her brows, confused by her Kwami's statement. She looked to the clock, soon realizing the time. She went into full out panic mode as she held the sides of her head.

"THEY'LL BE LANDING ANY MINUTE! I TOOK TOO LONG WITH THE SEAM!" Marinette quickly packed some clothes into a big bag as she scrambled to get ready. "I'm gonna have to be Ladybug to get there on time!" She heard a honking outside, causing her to peer out her window.

Imagine her surprise to see Chloe standing outside a limousine, urging her to hurry up. Sabrina was on the other side, holding up a sign that said such. "Or Chloe and Sabrina could give me a ride. Let's go!" Tikki hid herself in Marinette's purse as the girl quickly ran her way down the stairs.

At the airport, the Fentons had just gotten off the plane. Jack and Maddie were trying to make sure that every piece of their invention was accounted for, especially since they had a hard time getting it past customs in the first place. Danny smiled as he looked over the area, excited by all the possibilities that could come about. He grinned as he looked to the Eiffel Tower.

"Hello Paris." Greeted the ghost hero. "Hope you're ready for a ghost of a time." He looked to see that his parents were carting their invention along on a trolley as Jazz dragged her luggage behind. He soon followed suit, joining them outside. As soon as they stepped foot into the open air, however, the boy quickly found himself tackled.

"TACTICAL HUG!" cried a cheery voice. Danny looked down to see Rose, the girl grinning up at him. She was currently wearing a pink jacket with a logo depicting a heart with spider legs on the back, a pink shirt with the words "Kitty Section" written on the front in bold red letters, a pink frilly skirt, white leggings, and pink slip on shoes. "Danny! You're here!" The ghost boy grinned as he rubbed the hair of his friend.

"It's good to see you, Rose!" He soon heard a gasp as he looked to his right. His father had one of his angry expressions as he reached for a weapon on the trolley.

"GHOST GIRL!" cried Jack. "Stand back Danny!" Before the big man could do anything dangerous, Jazz immediately got in the way.

"She's not a ghost, Dad!" corrected the mature girl. "That's Rose, one of our online friends! She told us that she'd hug us first thing when we got here!" Jack sounded his understanding as he chuckled in embarrassment, earning an elbow from his wife. Jazz was soon tackled from behind as Rose giggled.

"Jazz!" cheered the bubbly girl. "It's so good to finally see you! You look so pretty!" The redhead chuckled as she turned around, reciprocating the embrace. The two soon parted as Maddie walked over.

"It's nice to meet you, Rose." Greeted the woman. "I'm Maddie, and this is my husband Jack. I'm sorry about his behavior. He can be rather jumpy sometimes. It's always nice to meet a friend of the kids." The bubbly girl giggled as she nodded her head.

"It's nice to meet you too! I've heard so much about you guys!" The Fenton parents beamed with pride, assuming only the best. Rose knew better than to say anything that was really said about the duo. Danny poked his fingers together in a nervous fashion.

"Is… Juleka with you?" questioned the ghost boy. "We talked the night before the flight and I'm very excited to see her." Rose gained a cheeky grin as she gestured behind him with her head. "Is there something wrong with your neck or… She's right behind me, isn't she?" A tapping on his shoulder served as the answer to his question.

"How about you turn around and find out?" questioned a familiar voice. Danny turned to face the owner, only to jerk as his jaw nearly met the ground. Juleka was wearing a moss green cuffed beanie with a black and white heart depicted on the side, moss green tiger lily earrings that had silver specks that depicted frost on the petals, a light black jacket with silver buttons, a moss green shirt with a subtle v neck and a black flaming heart, light black jeans that stopped halfway down her calf with rips in the knees, moss green tights, and black converse shoes with moss green laces and white soles. She also wore a darker pink lipstick than usual, her bangs were moved away from her face, and her nails were painted black. The other Fentons looked her way, having similar reactions of their own. Danny tugged at his shirt collar, feeling rather hot in spite of the cool of the day.

"Wow. Jules. You look… whoa." Juleka blushed as she looked down, happy to receive this kind of reaction. She had never heard Danny be short of words before. Jack and Maddie looked to each other, exchanging knowing looks.

'He has to have this girl.' Thought the parents simultaneously. If a girl like this had feelings for their son, they needed to bring their A-game to the table. Juleka finally composed herself as she looked him in the eye.

"Thank you, Danny." Acknowledged the shy girl. "I was hoping you'd like it." Danny regained his own composure as he nodded his head.

"I love it! You look amazing. I'm just starstruck by finally meeting you in person." Juleka mentally cheered to herself as she spun her toe into the concrete. Jazz soon walked over, a grin on her face.

"Look at you!" cheered the redhead. "You could be a model with how beautiful you are! It's good to finally see you in person, Juleka." The shy girl quickly stood straight, wanting to make a good first impression with Jazz in spite being online friends. She nodded her head with a soft smile.

"It's good to see you too, Jazz." Replied Juleka. "I'm just glad you guys are finally here." Maddie got an idea as she gestured to the local girls.

"Well it's nice to meet you Juleka." Greeted the woman. "As I told Rose, I'm Maddie and this is my husband Jack. Since you live around here, why don't you join us at the stadium? We just need to get checked in to a hotel before we make our way there." Juleka held in the contempt she had for the Fenton parents as she nodded her head, Rose innocently copying the motion.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea. We can wait outside while you guys get set up." The Fenton parents non-discretely high fived as they went back to pulling their trolley. Danny let loose a breath of relief, happy that his parents didn't embarrass him too much. He smiled as he looked towards Juleka, stars appearing to form in his eyes.

'How can she get more beautiful in person than in video chat!?' thought the ghost boy. 'Guess the camera really doesn't do anyone justice. She is way out of my league at this point.' He felt an arm wrap around his shoulder, prompting him to look towards Jazz. She cupped her hand over her mouth as she leaned closer to him.

"Remember what I told you." Whispered the older sister. "Just play it cool and be yourself." Danny smiled, nodding his head in acceptance. Soon the Fentons got settled into a hotel near the stadium, making it so that they could easily get back and forth as needed. Rose grinned as she looked towards Juleka.

"So, looks like Danny really likes your new look." Observed the blonde. "Jazz agreed that you look amazing. Even his parents seemed to have a good first impression of you. Your chances are looking better and better." Juleka looked away as she tried to keep her cool.

"Can we not talk about it right now?" questioned the shy girl. "I just want to get Danny and Jazz away from their parents and show them around the city." Rose giggled as she nodded her head.

"Don't worry. Once we meet up with Kim and Max, we'll get you some alone time with your un vrai amour." (1) Juleka sent a soft glare at her longtime friend, though this disappeared as soon as the Fentons walked out of the hotel. The girls talked with Danny and Jazz all the way, Juleka doing her best to stay close to the former of the two.

Soon they reached the stadium, shock forming on the look of the youths of the area. Several booths and a few stages were set up in the area. Some people were already giving demonstrations or having talk sections. The Fenton parents quickly checked in, getting passes for Danny and Jazz. Jack grinned as he weaved back and forth.

"Oh boy!" cried the man. "This is the best day of my life!" A huffing sound was soon heard nearby, dropping Jack's mood.

"What are you doing here?" questioned a man. The group turned to see a man with short brown hair and green eyes walk their way, a monocle over his right eye. He wore a black business suit, a white dress shirt, a black tie, and black dress shoes. "Last I checked you were off hunting spirits with the foolish idea of destroying them." Jack growled as he cracked his neck.

"Myers. We were actually invited to display our latest invention." The business man chuckled as if he heard a hilarious joke.

"One of your inventions? Ha! You couldn't invent anything to pay off your fudge tab." Jack growled as he did his best not to go off on the man. Maddie held his arm as a form of comfort as she looked to Mr. Myers.

"Now Jacob, let's all calm down." Offered the woman. "There's no need for hostilities just because we have different views on how to handle evil creatures like ghosts." The man frowned as if deeply offended.

"Evil creatures? Do you even hear yourself? Not all spirits are malicious in intent, most of them being people. The proper way to deal with a specter is to exorcise them so that they can move on from this mortal plane." Jack growled as he shook his fist at the man.

"Don't you dare spread your lies around our kids!" roared Mr. Fenton. "All ghosts are evil creatures!" Mr. Myers looked like he was about to inquire about the man's words, only for a police officer to approach them.

"Break it up, all of you." Ordered the man. "I was told by the convention staff that you three might start trouble. I'm going to have to ask you to break this up and go your separate ways. Any further disturbances and I'll have to remove you both." Both men backed down, grumbling under their breath.

The officer nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Mr. Fenton, your booth is number 113 on the opposite side of the stadium. Please make your way there with your presentation." Jack grinned, his vigor renewed.

"Alright! Let's go everyone!" Jack began to pull the trolley by himself, Maddie following behind. Danny and Jazz sent the man apologetic looks before following their parents, Juleka and Rose following soon behind. Mr. Myers growled to himself as he straightened his collar.

Jack and Maddie went straight to work putting their invention together, earning looks from some of the passerby's. The kids tried to make the most of it, but they were rather bored. The only interesting things nearby were booths that talked about the existence of dragons and certain monsters. There was even a booth for a petition to create a museum dedicated to the Miraculous, both Rose and Juleka taking time to sign it.

"Yo!" cried a voice. The kids watched as two people came walking over. One was a Vietnamese-French boy who was muscular and tall. His hair, which was black with the ends dyed gold, was styled into a sharp quiff. He wore a red, short-sleeved hoodie jacket with big front pocket and hoodie, some white outlines at certain places, and a white logo depicting two pentagons surrounding a star; navy blue track sweatpants; and red, white, and black sports shoes.

The second was a short slender teenage boy with a medium-brown complexion, coily-kinky brown hair, and moderate tangelo eyes. He wore a black vest with a green techno pattern near the bottom, a green dress shirt, a pair of black framed glasses, black jeans that had a green handkerchief in the back pocket, and dark black dress shoes. The taller boy, apparently the one who called out to them, waved at the group. "Rose, Juleka!" Rose grinned at the duo while Juleka sent them a small smile.

"Kim!" greeted Rose. "Max! We're over here!" The two boys quickly walked over to the group. The Asian boy, presumably Kim, looked to Juleka with a grin.

"You're looking nice, Jules! Look at you dressing to impress." Juleka blushed as she looked away, embarrassed by all the praise. Kim was about to say more, only to feel a wave of dread wash over him. He glanced to his right, only to eep as it looked like Danny was glaring at him with glowing eyes.

Kim gulped as he shook his head. 'S…scary. That's definitely Danny alright.' He turned to the Fenton kids with a scared chuckle. "Hey guys!"

Trying to brush off the feeling as he gestured to himself with his thumb. "It's me, MK!" Danny's expression also suddenly changed as he sent the big guy a grin.

"Great to finally meet you, Kim!" greeted the ghost boy. He turned to Max with a smirk. "Nice to meet you too, Max right? Let me guess, you're CyberPegasus." Max smiled as he nodded his head.

"You would be correct in your guess, Danny." Confirmed the tech genius. "I am pleased to make your acquaintance, as well as Jazz's, at last. We were actually hoping that we could bring you to a meeting spot. Everyone in the guild has been excited to see you, though Luka cannot attend at this time." Danny smiled at Jazz, earning a nod as he ran over to his parents.

"Hey Mom, Dad!? Can we head off with our online friends to get a tour of the city?" Jack looked like he wanted to say something else, only for Maddie to elbow him as she tilted her head towards Juleka.

"Again with the elbowing Maddie?" questioned the big man. "I…" Jack stopped as he noticed where his wife was gesturing to. He sounded his understanding before sending her a wink. Maddie smiled as she looked towards her son.

"Of course you can." Allowed Mrs. Fenton. "Just be back at the hotel in time for dinner." Jack smirked before getting back to work on the machine. Danny grinned as he ran back towards the others. He jumped off the stage, landing before the group.

"We've got the go ahead. Let's blow this place!" Rose couldn't help but cheer in excitement as she hugged the ghost boy. Juleka couldn't help but chuckle at Rose's enthusiasm. She began to follow the group, Jazz walking right beside her.

"So… mind telling me what your intentions are with my little bro?" questioned the redhead. Juleka looked to her in shock, a small blush forming on her face. "You make it easy to see with how you were looking for his approval. I know you're a good person from our interactions, Juleka, but as the older sibling I do have to look out for Danny." The shy girl made sure Danny wasn't to where he could hear them.

"I… I just want to be with him." Revealed Juleka. "He's such a sweet guy, not to mention such an adorable, corny goofball. It took me a while to realize, but I know now that I love him. I'm just hoping I'll be good enough for him." Jazz sent her a knowing smirk.

"You're the one that looks like a model and you're worried if you're good enough for him? Trust me, there are times where he can't shut up about conversations you two have had that I've already seen inside the guild." Juleka smiled at this news, feeling more confident in herself. The group walked around the streets of Paris, Danny and Jazz growing accustomed to the various shops and venues. They soon approached the Louvre, Kim grinning at the sight of someone.

"Yo Alix!" cried MK. "We're here! We've got the Fentons!" Alix grinned as she skated over to the group. She grinded to a halt right in front of them.

"What's up Americans!?" greeted the tomboy. "Welcome to the Louvre. This is where my Dad works, though my brother does come here to study the archeological finds for his insane conspiracy theories. Then again, you're probably used to insane theories thanks to your folks." Danny groaned as he shook his head.

"Please don't remind me." Requested the ghost boy. "I love my parents, but I'd like to use these moments away from them to just have fun and forget about all the ghost stuff. This is supposed to be a vacation, whether they're working or not." The others nodded, happy that Danny was taking this seriously. Jazz cleared her throat as she looked over the others.

"I heard Luka can't join us right now, but where are the others?" questioned the mature girl. "Marinette, Bee, and Hound don't seem to be here." Alix was about to answer the question when Chloe's limo suddenly pulled up. Sabrina was standing up through the skylight as she held up a sign that read "Welcome to Paris." Chloe opened the door that was facing he group, waving at them in excitement.

"Bonjour Fentons!" Greeted the mayor's daughter. She ran over in a stride that was a mix of Valley Girl and athlete. "It's me, Bee, though my name is Chloe. As the mayor's daughter, it's my honor to welcome you to our wonderous city!" Jazz grinned as she nodded her head.

"Mayor's daughter, huh? Sounds like your family is pretty important around here." Chloe looked away, not thrilled at the thought of discussing her family. This did get the attention of Danny, the boy looking concerned. Before he could ask what was wrong, Sabrina quickly ran over.

"I'm Sabrina!" greeted the local redhead. "I'm also Hound in the guild! This is so exciting. We're one step closer to the entire guild being able to meet up!" The sound of slower footsteps soon caught Danny's attention.

"Let's take things one step at a time, Sabrina." Cautioned Marinette. "Regardless, it's great to have you guys! I have a surprise waiting for a certain…" Marinette stopped in her tracks as she and Danny locked eyes. A spark launched between them, as if some memory was suddenly pieced together.

A strange air of familiarity passed between the duo. They remained silent for a bit, trying to recall where this sense of déjà vu came from. Marinette shook her head as she regained her composure. "Sorry. My mind blanked for a second."

Marinette gestured to the limo with a small grin. "I actually have a surprise for Danny. It's over in the limo right…" The designer looked towards the limo, only for her eyes to widen as it was driving off. "Wait!"

The driver didn't seem to notice the girl flagging her down as he sped off. "Come back! I forgot something!" She slumped to the ground in defeat, her own clumsiness striking again. Jazz soon came to the baker's daughter's side as she helped her up.

"He probably had somewhere to be." Reassured the American redhead. "He has to come back to pick up Chloe, so you can get it from him then." Chloe nodded as she joined Marinette on the other side.

"I'll make sure of it too." Added the bee hero. "I'll give him a call while we're walking." Marinette sighed, relenting to the others. The three of them walked back to the group. Marinette chuckled as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Sorry about that, Danny." Apologized Marinette. "Guess I'll have to give it to you later." The ghost boy chuckled as he shook his head.

"It's alright." Reassured Danny. "Don't worry about it. Let's just have fun today." Marinette nodded, happy for the understanding. Sabrina sounded her excitement as she raised her hand.

"We could go to Chez Dimitri!" offered the former lacky. "You guys probably only had a light breakfast when you got here. You must be starving!" The tourist duo were about to object when a growling noise rang through the air. Danny grabbed at his stomach, chuckling sheepishly.

"That actually sounds like a good idea. The only thing is that we didn't get the chance to transfer our US dollars to Euros." Chloe laughed as she shook her head.

"There's actually a transfer machine at the restaurant." Revealed the former mean girl. "Even if it's out of money for some reason, I'll happily pay for you two to enjoy my favorite restaurant!" Jazz grinned as she nodded her head.

"Alright then." Accepted the mature girl. "Let's go!" She walked side by side with Chloe and Sabrina as they lead the way.

"You look really nice by the way, Jazz. I can totally see some good outfits for you to try out." Danny walked alongside Juleka, not noticing the slight dip in her mood. Marinette went to follow behind the group, only to be grabbed by the hand. She looked back, only to jerk a bit as Rose was looking at her with squinted eyes and puffed cheeks.

"What was that about, Nettie?" questioned the normally cheery girl. "You two were staring at each other for a solid minute. The whole point of making Juleka that outfit was to help her get with Danny and boost her confidence. You don't have feelings for him all of a sudden, do you?" Marinette jumped back a bit as she shook her head.

"That's not it at all!" cried the designer. "I don't know what happened. It was just like a wave of déjà vu hit me. It's like we knew each other a long time ago, but he's more like a brother to me after everything we've been through in the server. I would never want to take him away from Juleka, even if they aren't officially a thing yet."

Rose continued to puff her cheeks, frustrated with her friend. "We can salvage this situation. All we have to do is keep putting them in situations where they're interacting. I'll talk with Kim and Max about it while you cover the other girls." There was almost a minute of continued staring, only for Rose to grin in excitement.

"Good plan! Let's hurry up!" The duo quickly ran after their friends, trying to get the message across without Danny and Juleka figured out. Rose couldn't keep Jazz out of the loop, but the older sibling was actually on board with the idea. Little did they know that far away, some trouble was brewing.

Back at the stadium, Jack and Maddie were finishing the last touches of their device. It was meant to trap ghosts so that they couldn't escape from a general location. It was designed for powerful spirits, though it could work on weaker ones. There were even ports on the side for taking samples or reading energy signals. Jack grinned as he wiped sweat from his brow.

"We finally did it." Grunted the big man. "We put together the Fenton Spectral Containment Field. Now we have to wait for a few days before we can present it to the panel of judges. This is gonna be big!" Maddie smiled as she hugged her husband.

"I just know they'll love it, Jack!" cheered Mrs. Fenton. "This is going to change everything!" They embraced each other, happy with their accomplishment. They were soon interrupted by slow clapping, causing them to separate as they turned towards the origin. Mr. Myers walked up the steps of their stage, a condescending look on his face.

"Well done." Mocked the man. "Yet another contraption that punishes potentially innocent spirits that should be moving on to the great beyond. An abomination upon cryptozoology. You must be so proud." Jack growled as he puffed out his chest.

"There are no good spirits, Myers." Huffed the man. "All they do is cause destruction and mayhem. They even steal away children in the middle of the night. I won't rest until every ghost is destroyed by my own two hands." Mr. Myers glared at Jack, clenching his fists.

"It seems you are still biased by your foolish childhood. There are spirits that are in charge of the very concepts that make up our world. Not to mention that there are heroic spirits such as the Deadman that the Justice League reportedly works with. Heck, while I would rather have him exorcised to put him out of the misery of being near you, Amity Park's own Phantom is actually a great example of what a good spirit actually looks like." Now Maddie was frowning as she stood by her husband.

"Now that's going too far, Jacob!" growled the redheaded woman. "Phantom is a menace and nothing more. He brings nothing but trouble to our city and our family. Having your ego bruised is no reason to spout nonsense in hatred." Mr. Myers took a step forward as he growled.

"I used to think you were the more sensible one, Madeline. Now I know that you're just as deranged as your husband!" Maddie was taken aback by this, taking a few steps back. "Have you even actually looked at the evidence supporting benevolent spirits, you nitwits!?" The police officer from before walked up the stage, getting between the arguing group.

"Enough!" roared the officer. "That's the last straw! Jacob Myers, since you have instigated the problem twice, I'll have to ask you to leave." Jack and Maddie smirked in success as they crossed their arms. Mr. Myers growled as he felt his rage boiling.

"You're kicking ME out!? I'm the one who makes these events possible in the first place! These two are war hawks masquerading as scientists! They're nothing more than a mockery on cryptozoologists everywhere!" The official shook his head in denial.

"I have to uphold the law both ways. While the Fentons escalated things, you have perfect control of your own actions. Anymore backtalk and you'll be banned from the stadium for the rest of the convention." Mr. Myers' became red as a tomato, his anger clearly reaching its max. Across town, a familiar window opened to shed light on a swarm of butterflies.

"Anger and contempt when you know you are right." Detailed Hawkmoth. "Yet another perfect host for my Akuma." The villain held a butterfly in his hands, using his dark power to turn it into a proper akuma. The insect flew out the window, zooming towards its target. "Go, my little Akuma, and wreak havoc."

Soon the butterfly reached the stadium, where Mr. Myers was prepared to lash out verbally at the officer. It flew down towards the man as he pulled out a coin, rubbing it to try and calm his nerves. The woman at the petition stand screamed as she saw the butterfly.

"Akuma!" cried the woman. The people in the area began to panic as they tried to run from the stadium. Jack and Maddie were surprised that everyone, even the officer, was scared of a little butterfly. The evil creature landed on the man's coin, exploding into particles as it formed a purple layer over the object. The butterfly mask appeared over Mr. Myers' face as his pupils dilated.

"Holy Rocker, I am Hawkmoth." Greeted the villain. "I understand the pain of having your rival ruin everything. I give you the power to seal them away until you are proven correct. In return, you must retrieve the miraculous that my rival and her team keep just out of my reach." Jacob Myers… no… Holy Rocker grinned as his sense of morality suddenly left him.

"I know I'm right, and those who oppose me shall be banished!" declared the villain. The dark energy of the akuma began to wash over him, shocking Jack and Maddie to no end. In the man's place stood grey skinned man that looked like a cross between a monk and a punk rocker, prayer beads with moth insignias on them floating around him. He also had what appeared to be a flute sheathed on his waist. The police officer began to usher people to safety as the akuma took in its new form. Jack growled as he and Maddie pulled out ghost hunting weapons.

"Myers has been possessed!" cried the big man. "I've always wanted to do this!" Jack fired a shot of ecto-energy at the man. Holy Rocker waved his hand midair, causing the attack to disappear without a trace. The villain chuckled, his voice sounding slightly lighter.

"Your trinkets won't work on me, Jack!" roared Holy Rocker. "Unlike the spirits you hate so much, I am very much alive. This is the work of Paris's supervillain, Hawkmoth. He has given me the power to pass judgement upon you, once and for all!" Maddie frowned as she clenched her free fist.

"Snap out of it, Jacob!" cried the woman. "You're a brilliant man in spite of our different beliefs and…" Holy Rocker waved his hand again, this time banishing their weapons.

"It's Holy Rocker now! I'm going to show you just how the spirits you chase feel when they're wrongfully imprisoned or experimented on! This will be the first trial run of my incredible power, and it'll only cost me two out of my seven orbs!" The villain moved his arms in a circular motion, causing two orbs to charge up. He suddenly shot one of them forward with a strike, causing the orb to crash into Jack and absorb him.

"Jack!" The orb shot high into the air, becoming a massive sphere that depicted a screaming Jack. Maddie tried to fire at the villain, only to be caught in another orb. Holy Rocker laughed as the second orb joined the first in the air. The villain laughed maniacally as he leaned back.

"Yes!" cried Hawkmoth. "Punish them, Holy Rocker! It won't be long before the Miraculous Heroes arrive to their doom! Nothing can stop me this time!" He joined in the laughter, holding his fists to the air.

Inside her own orb, Maddie found herself waking up. She was in the middle of a back alley, rain pouring down. She regained her bearings as she stood up. The woman tried to walk her way down the alley, trying to find her way out. She recognized these streets, and she was not keen on sticking around.

Suddenly her eyes widened as a child's cry filled the air. She ran along the way, coming upon an open window. Her eyes widened as she saw a child crying and thrashing its limbs about in a bed. The child soon stopped crying as two sets of glowing blue hands reached for it. Maddie's eyes widened as she ran for the building.

"NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" She ran as fast as she could, but several spirit hands suddenly grabbed her.

"FACE YOUR SINS!" cried a demonic voice. Maddie cried out once more as the spirits continued to hold her hostage. To anyone outside the sphere, they would see Maddie's tear filled face form as a pattern on the side of the sphere.

Back at Chez Dimitri, the group was enjoying the foods and the atmosphere. Most of the friends took up different tables around the shop. It was soon apparent that this displacement was intentional as Danny and Juleka were left to sit by themselves at a two person table. Both teens were blushing as they tried not to look into each other's eyes. Noticing how Rose was gesturing for her to act, Juleka took a deep breath.

"So… how are you liking Paris so far, Danny?" questioned the normally shy girl. "I know you only just got here, but I'm hoping that you're enjoying yourself." Danny nodded his head, finally looking her way.

"I… I like it here." Revealed the ghost boy. "I mean, I still have to see what an akuma attack is like and if I can help, but outside of that everything is amazing. It also helps that I'm talking with a great example of Paris's people. Fierce and… beautiful." Juleka's face was burning in flattery as she looked down at the table.

"T…that's nice of you to say. So… what was up with you and Marinette earlier? You… looked like you were interested in her in some way." Danny's eyes widening, realizing that he completely forgot about that moment. He shook his head as he comically made an "x" shape with his arms.

"Nothing like that! I just felt like I've seen her somewhere a long time ago. I'm talking way before the portal incident. If anything, she's more like another sister than anything else." Juleka felt a wave of relief wash over her as she nodded her head.

"Oh! I'm sorry if I made things awkward. You just left me curious is all. To be honest, I don't know as much about Marinette's younger years." Danny tilted his head in confusion.

"Really? You guys seem like such good friends though." The shy girl nodded with a grin.

"You would think we've known each other forever, but we only met when we were seven. Actually, from what I hear, only Chloe knows what Marinette was like as they knew each other since they were four. Maybe she would know if you two met at some point. You could always check later." Danny chuckled as he shook his head.

"I think I'd rather wait for another time to look into that. Right now, I just wanna enjoy time actually being here with you." Juleka's blush returned, albeit it was more controlled.

"I… I like that idea very much." The silence returned as the duo tried to find something to say. Danny continued to look his crush in the eye, a radiant light forming behind her from his perspective. He leaned forwards a bit, as if he was on autopilot. Juleka's eyes widened in anticipation, only for the sound of an alarm to cause her much dread.

"The Akuma alarm!" cried a waiter. "Everyone get to the safe zones!" The people began to shuffle out of the restaurant, members of the guild soon trying to get out as well.

"An akuma attack!?" cried Jazz. "Perfect! Just the way I wanted to spend my first day in Paris!" Danny looked around the area, trying to find a good place to change. He looked to Juleka apologetically, only to receive a knowing smile.

"I'll cover for you, go." Reassured the shy girl. "Go!" Danny quickly weaved through the crowd, trying to find a way to the back exit of the shop. Realizing what Danny was doing, Marinette soon followed his lead. Chloe also saw this, looking to Sabrina with a frown.

"Get Jazz and the others to the safety zone!" ordered the rich blonde. "I'm going after Marinette!" Sabrina nodded as she ran to catch up with the others. Chloe soon rushed after the duo, following them into the kitchen. Danny didn't register the added eyes as he took a familiar stance.

"I'M GOING GHOST!" cried the ghostly hero. The usual rings of ghostly energy formed around Danny as he transformed into Phantom. Chloe's eyes widened as she watched the boy fly up into the sky.

"Wh… what the heck!?" Marinette looked her way, surprised by her reforged friend's presence. "Danny just turned into Phantom! Did you know about this!?" Marinette sighed as she nodded her head.

"I'll explain later." Reassured the ladybug hero. "Right now, we need to focus on taking this akuma down." Chloe nodded in response, an unspoken demand to be in the know being determined. Back with Danny, he flew through the air in an attempt to find the villain of the week. His eyes widened as he noticed the faces on the two orbs.

"Mom!?" cried the ghost boy. "Dad!? Oh this guy is so going to get it!" He looked around the area, trying to find the culprit behind all of this. He suddenly dodged as a staff came swinging towards him.

"Found you!" cried a voice. Danny dodged the attack, his eyes widened as Chat Noir landed on a nearby rooftop. "Looks like Hawkmoth needs to go back to fashion school if hazmat suits are viable now. Just hand over your akuma and we can all just rest in peace." Danny frowned as he shook his head.

"While I'm usually a fan of puns, we don't have time for this. I'm not the akuma, though I have a feline that it's near those giant metal balls." Chat chuckled a bit, actually enjoying the joke.

"You think you can out-pun moi? You don't stand a ghost of a chance, Casper." Danny tried his best not to laugh in this crazy scenario. Another fight looked like it was imminent, but the sound of zip wiring and buzzing caught the duo's attention. Ladybug and Honeybee landed on the roof, both of them not amused.

"Picking a fight with a tourist, Chat?" questioned Honeybee. "Talk about ridiculous, utterly ridiculous behavior!" Ladybug rolled her eyes as she gestured to Danny.

"This is Phantom, an American hero." Introduced the lead Parisian hero. "He recently flew in from the states. He's going to be working with us for a while." Chat's eyes widened before he sent a courteous bow the ghost's way.

"Well if My Lady is vouching for you then you must be okay." Reasoned the cat hero. "Purr-leasure to make your acquaintance." Danny rolled his eyes with a chuckle. A scream suddenly caught the quartet's attention. They quickly made their way over, Danny actually flying faster than Honeybee.

"Everyone keep going!" cried the officer from before. "Move!" The man turned to find a woman crawling backwards away from Holy Rocker. The villain seemed to be looking over her, two orbs positioned directly by his head. One of them shifted downwards, a blue glow flowing from its details.

"You have done nothing to obscure the truth." Revealed the man. "Go, before I change my mind." The woman didn't think twice as she ran away a blubbering mess. The officer tried to get back to directing people, only to have two balls wrap him in silver chains. He grunted as he fought the hold, only to be turned towards Holy Rocker.

The villain's eyes glowed red as he readied one of his free orbs. "You, on the other hand, forced me to leave instead of the Fentons. It's time for you to see just what your idiocy will get you." He sent the orb forward to capture the officer, only for a blue beam to freeze it. Both men's eyes widened as the ball fell to the ground, the ice not melting.

"I know Jack and Maddie Fenton can be a bit testy, but that's no reason to disrespect law enforcement." Commented Phantom. The duo looked the hero's way as he floated before them. Holy Rocker's eyes widened at the sight, Hawkmoth having a similar reaction.

"WHAT!?" cried the true villain. "A spirit, here!? What sort of sorcery is this!?" Holy Rocker turned towards the boy, studying his features. He frowned as he gestured to the officer.

"It's rather ironic, meeting you for the first time here of all places." Began the forced villain. "What are you doing away from your haunt, Phantom?" Danny frowned, not liking that this guy identified him first thing.

"It's called a vacation, and I can take one whenever I want. I have some friends watching over things." Holy Rocker hummed as he stroked his chin.

"You're a more powerful spirit than I first thought. I always saw you as a reasonable spirit. Allow me to try and reason with you. Come here, Officer Raincomprix." The orbs pulled the officer closer to the villain.

Two orbs popped up behind the villain once again, the other one lowering with a red glow. "You see, this man removed me from the premises of the stadium when I was trying to make the Fentons see reason for their spirit hating ways." The officer growled as he shook his head.

"You started the incident." Recalled the man. "If you would have just left for the day I would have reprimanded the Fentons and…" The chains suddenly tugged tighter, causing the officer to gasp in pain.

"SILENCE!" Holy Rocker cleared his throat as he regained his composure. "As I was saying, I was merely going to teach him a lesson in due justice. While I will have to complete my deal with Hawkmoth, I see no reason for us to fight at all. Let me have my justice, and you may walk away." Danny hummed as he rubbed his chin, an aura of mockery exuding from him.

"Walking is an interesting idea, but I prefer flying." Quipped the hero. "I don't know what Hawkmoth wants, but I can't let you terrorize the people of this city. No matter where I go, a hero's work is never done. I can tell you're not really a bad guy…" Phantom suddenly shot his ice powers at the orbs holding Officer Raincomprix, setting him free as the orbs fell to the ground.

The officer ran away as Holy Rocker's face morphed into fury. "…but if you're gonna keep being evil, I'm gonna have to give you the cold shoulder." The orbs that were frozen suddenly broke free of the ice as the villain made a motion with his arms.

"Very well. If I cannot reason with you, then I shall help you move on to the great beyond." The man was prepared to attack Danny much like he did Jack and Maddie, only to have something wrap around his waist. He looked down to see Ladybug's yoyo had coiled around him. Holy Rocker looked up as Phantom let loose a low chuckle.

"Yeah… I might have also been distracting you." The villain tried to go through with his attack, only to be pulled back sharply by the yoyo. He rolled across the ground, his orbs trying to follow him. He finally came to a stop as the yoyo unwrapped itself from him. He propped himself up on his arms as he looked up, Ladybug within his view as she stood on top of a streetlamp.

"Let the people you've captured go." Ordered the lead French hero. "I know what they did to you wasn't right, but it isn't right to hold them captive. There are better ways to deal with disagreements like…" The very mention of the word "disagreement" seemed to set Holy Rocker off. He suddenly shot up, all of his on hand orbs glowing red.

"DISAGREEMENT!?" roared the man. "It was no mere disagreement! My livelihood was put in jeopardy by those idiots! They hate spirits with a passion and show disdain for anyone who shows them any support, yet they have the gall to call me hateful when I claim one spirit as a hero!" Ladybug's frown turned sorrowful as she looked him in the eye.

"We all deal with stubborn people in our lives, as well as situations where we're wrongfully accused. If we just sit and let it fester, it consumes us. You can't let it consume you, Mr. Myers." The man looked down at himself, seeming to contemplate the girl's words. This progress was lost as soon as it came as the butterfly moniker appeared over the victim's face.

"Don't let her deceive you!" roared Hawkmoth. "If those American idiots would have just moved on, you wouldn't have become enraged! You still have to punish the officer, and you still owe me Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous! All she's doing is undermining the pain you've endured dealing with those fools for years!" Holy Rocker growled as he resumed his fighting stance.

"I am Holy Rocker! I will have justice!" The man suddenly thrust his palm forward, sending out a hand made out of what appeared to be hard light. Ladybug was forced to dodge as she leaped backwards onto the ground. Danny tried to go for a flying punch, only for the man to grab his arm and move him into the position of a ground slam.

The ghostly hero suddenly turned, however, as he used his ectoplasmic makeup to twist his arm so that he could swing into a kick. He struck Holy Rocker right in the gut, causing the villain to release him. He then sent the man flying backwards with an ecto-blast. Danny then put his training with Dick to good use as he sent a few well aimed punches into the man's stomach.

Holy Rocker walked back a few steps as he held his gut, a look of shock on his face. "Not bad." Phantom rolled his shoulders a bit letting loose a cry of indifference.

"I met a human friend who taught me martial arts." Revealed the ghost. "It's nothing special." Holy Rocker used the conversation to his advantage as he tried to chain the ghostly hero. The orb that shot the chain, however, was suddenly sent flying back into the villain's face by Chat Noir's staff. The cat hero walked into view as he spun his staff around a few times before using it as a makeshift cane in front of him.

"Gotta say I'm loving the punk monk look." Began the feline hero. "Why don't you give up your akuma and we can keep things nama-stay peaceful." Danny couldn't help laughing at the pun as he spun around in the air, something that caused Holy Rocker to growl.

"You brats!" The villain sent all of the balls at his disposal at the group, chains shooting out from them. The trio quickly dodged out of the way, Danny using his intangibility to fly through one of the nearby buildings. The orbs bounced off the building, Danny poking out to blow raspberries like a child. He then flew away from the building as another orb came crashing into it.

The trio had to keep moving as they were each chased by differing numbers of orbs. Phantom had the most as two orbs were chasing him, Ladybug had two after her as she slung around with her yoyo, and Chat was running from one. Phantom flew in a circle to avoid incoming chains, shooting one of his ice beams at the orbs. It hit one of them, freezing it immediately as the other one dodged.

"Now!" roared Danny. Honeybee soon flew into the area, smashing the orb with her spinning top. The bee themed hero pumped her fist in success.

"That's how we win fights in Paris!" cheered the blonde heroine. "Take notes Phantom." Surprisingly the orb did not reform, causing red lines to appear on Holy Rocker's skin. The villain roared as the red lines reached his eyes, creating a more menacing appearance. He waved his arms around as he caused one of the orbs chasing Ladybug to stop.

"Enough!" roared the akumatized exorcist. "Children like you should be punished!" The prayer beads suddenly began moving much faster as if just trying to make contact with the quartet. Honeybee and Phantom suddenly bolted in opposite directions as each had an orb following them. Ladybug also had to switch to making risky maneuvers as she and Chat tried to avoid their own personal orbs.

"You know, I think destroying his weapons wasn't the best idea after all." Began Chat. He had to dodge his orb by pole vaulting with his staff. "We might need a little extra help to 'get the ball rolling', Ladybug. Maybe a Lucky Charm." Ladybug shook her head in denial as she slung herself out of the way of her tailing bead.

"I have to find a moment to use it safely." Reminded the leader. "Until then, just keep running! There's got to be a way to slow these things down!" The duo separated as the beads came back around at high speed. From his lair, Hawkmoth laughed hysterically at the scene.

"Yes!" cheered the main villain. "Flee like the flies you are! I can almost feel their Miraculous in my hands! Your day of judgement is finally at hand, Miraculous heroes!" He continued his laughter as he watched the battle, silently wishing that he had popcorn.

Back with the others, they were following the crowd to the akuma shelter. Officer Raincomprix ran past them to help guide the rest of the evacuates, Sabrina running to him with the call of "Dad!". They were nearly to the assigned area when Jazz finally looked up, screeching to a halt as she saw her parents faces in the massive prayer beads.

"Mom!" cried the redhead tourist. "Dad! He got them! They look so terrified!" Max frowned as he adjusted his glasses.

"Judging by how they look, it is highly possible that they were targeted in this attack." Estimated the genius. "My belief is that they were a direct cause of the akumatization." Sabrina quickly ran back to the group, panting as she held her knees.

"I just asked my dad what's going on." Revealed the local redhead. "Apparently the Fentons and Mr. Myers from the convention committee got into a fight. He tried to ask Mr. Myers to go home for the day, but then Hawkmoth turned him into an akuma. Apparently he can use large prayer beads to chain people up and can use one up to trap a person inside." Rose began to shake as she looked amongst the group.

"I…It kinda makes sense that he got so angry." Agreed the normally cheery girl. "I mean, he does think ghosts should be exorcised while the Mr. and Mrs. Fenton just want to destroy them." The statement about Mr. Myers being an exorcist caused both Jazz and Juleka to gasp.

"Danny." Mumbled both girls. Jazz looked to Juleka in surprise, only for said shy girl to suddenly run the other way. Jazz ran after her before Kim could stop her.

"Jazz!" cried the athlete. "Juleka! Come back! Come on guys!" Kim was stopped in his tracks as Honeybee suddenly came flying towards him, an orb following violently behind her.

"Run!" cried the bee themed hero. The group was forced to run the same way as the flying hero as they tried to avoid the orb as well. Said weapon suddenly came to a stop in the presence of officer Raincomprix. It glowed red as it tried to fly at the man. Chloe quickly used her spinning top to smash this orb too, sighing in relief as she flew back towards the others.

Back with the other heroes, the trio did their best to dodge out of the way of the orbs that chased them. Danny tried to freeze this one just like the previous ones, only for it to break through the ice on its way towards him. It tried to grab him with a chain, but he turned intangible and flew through a lamp post. Surprisingly the object crashed into the pole, capturing it like it was a person and turning massive in the air. Phantom grinned as he looked to Ladybug and Chat Noir.

"Just get them to crash into random objects when they glow red!" informed the ghost hero. "They'll capture them just like they did the Fentons!" Ladybug and Chat Noir both nodded as they rushed around the area. Ladybug let one get close enough to her to make it glow red before slinging a potted flower into it. Meanwhile Chat Noir stood still in front of a car, dodging just in time under similar circumstances.

As predicted by Phantom, the orbs crashed into the objects and captured them all the same. Holy Rocker growled in anger as another set of red lines appeared on him. "Ha! Now what are you going to do without your little orbs!?" The villain smirked as he pulled out the tainted coin.

"I'm so glad you asked." Answered Holy Rocker. He flipped the coin, causing it to glow. As soon as he caught it, seven more orbs appeared behind him. These orbs looked slightly stronger than the previous bunch. Ladybug and Chat Noir sent deadpanned looks at Phantom, causing the visiting hero to groan.

"Me and my big mouth. At least we have a good idea of where his akuma is." The local heroes nodded, appearing to have the same idea in mind. Holy Rocker was about to attack the group once more when all of his orbs glowed blue. He smirked as he looked in the direction of the safehouse.

"So that's where you are. Seems you'll have to wait your turn children." Holy Rocker began to sit down as he formed a hard light cloud under him. The others tried to stop him, but he suddenly flew away at high speed. Danny frowned as he flew up a bit.

"Some human friends of mine were going that way. We have to hurry!" Marinette's eyes widened in realization as she readied her yoyo. The trio quickly took off after the villain, using their fastest means of transportation to do so. Danny was moving the fastest as thoughts of Juleka and Jazz being captured flooded his mind.

The people were flooding into the shelter as they tried to escape the akuma's wrath. Once it looked like everyone was inside, Officer Raincomprix also ran into the building. The massive orbs seemed to be following behind Holy Rocker as he approached the complex. The villain grinned evilly as he drew closer to the structure. Soon the building was within sight, only for Honeybee to appear before him with her fist reared back.

"VENOM!" cried the bee hero. A yellow stinger formed over her hand as she tried to go for the attack. Holly Rocker stopped in place as he used one of his orbs to block the attack, the object breaking into pieces. Before Honey Bee could properly react, she was caught in one of the orbs, reducing the number to three. The other kids looked shocked by the sudden capture, the face of the screaming hero appearing on the side of the massive bead.

"No!" cried Alix. Holly Rocker grinned at the scene as he looked down at the complex. He pointed to them with a sadistic smirk.

"If you wish to be unharmed, relinquish Officer Raincomprix to me." Offered Holy Rocker. "Otherwise, you shall all face the consequences." The police officer looked ready to give himself up, only for Sabrina to hug him desperately. The villain looked like he wasn't going to give the people much more time, only for an ecto blast to hit him on the back of the head.

"Now you're making me mad!" roared Phantom. Holy Rocker turned to face the boy, only to be socked in the face by the ghostly hero. He nearly fell off his cloud as Danny unleashed another massive punch into his torso. The boy then grabbed the man by the arm and attempted to throw him over his shoulder. Instead he found his legs chained up as he was spun around a few times.

"You're a valiant hero, Phantom, but foolish for rushing at me with no plan of attack. Are you ready to see the consequences of your actions?" Holy Rocker then sent one of his orbs towards the building, seemingly to scout out Officer Raincomprix. Instead, however, the orb crashed into the entire building, beginning the process of absorbing it. Danny was forced to watch in horror as the building and its occupants were lifted into the air as a giant bead enveloped it.

"No!" Several fearful faces appeared on the side of the orb, some of them appearing to be crying. Danny could not see Jazz or Juleka anywhere amongst the group, though he was pulled away from this act as the chains that had his legs quickly wrapped all around him. He attempted to phase out of them, only for the constraints to burn him. Holy Rocker unleashed his flute from its sheath, holding it in the position to play it.

"You are a valiant hero, Phantom. As such, it's time that you got to properly rest in peace. I apologize, but your unwillingness in this procedure will make it painful." He was about to play the flute when Ladybug and Chat Noir arrived. Ladybug landed on the nearby roof as she reared her arm back.

"LUCKY CHARM!" cried the main Parisian hero. A swarm of ladybugs formed in the air, quickly combining into a shape. An object fell into Ladybug's hand, revealed to be a wooden tiger figure. "A wooden tiger? How's that supposed to help!?"

"Move!" cried Chat Noir. Ladybug cartwheeled just in time as an orb came flying at her. Her and Chat Noir had no choice but to return to the dodging game as the remaining beads began to chase after them. Ladybug could not find anything that could be used with the tiger statuette. Holy Rocker looked to Danny as he prepared to play once again.

"As I was saying, Rest in Peace, Phantom. SOLOHACHI!" (2) The villain began to play into his flute, causing swords of green hard light to form around Danny. One by one each blade pierced itself into Danny, causing him to scream in pain.

"Stop this!" cried Chat Noir. "Just let him go!" Ladybug also looked terrified as green lines began to climb all over Danny's form.

"Phantom!" cried the lead hero. Holy Rocker ignored them as he continued the ritual. Soon a massive spear formed over Danny's head, as if ready to seal the deal. The villain was about to seal the deal with a final note, only for a soccer ball to hit him in the back of the head. The blades dissipated as the song stopped.

"LET HIM GO!" demanded a familiar voice. Danny's eyes widened as he and the villain looked to the assailant, a very ticked off Juleka. "Don't hurt him anymore! Can't you see what you're doing!?" Holy Rocker fully turned to her with a frown of his own, his orbs actually stopping their chases.

"Foolish child." Insulted the exorcist. "I am giving him a hero's send off. His time in this world is done, and with him gone I can fulfil my deal with Hawkmoth. Children like you should go home and…" Juleka threw her arm to the side as her other hand was clenched tightly.

"You're wrong! His time isn't up yet! Phantom is a real hero, so only he should decide when it's time for him to move on! Just give up already and let him go!" Danny's eyes widened as his concern grew.

"Juleka." Silently begged the ghost hero. "Please just run!" Ladybug looked like she was about to intervene herself, only for her Miracle vision to pop up. To her surprise Juleka had the ladybug shade over her, only for it to turn into a purple tiger stripe pattern. She soon realized what the item was trying to tell her, only to blink as Holy Rocker's growl became audible to all.

"I AM NEVER WRONG!" roared the villain. He sent a large hard light palm towards the girl, trapping her under it. "YOU WANT TO GET IN MY WAY, THEN YOU'LL BE NEXT ONCE I'M DONE WITH PHANTOM!" Danny felt his blood boil as his heart began to beat faster and faster, which was concerning for a ghost by all means.

His anger began to rise as Juleka was being pushed further and further by the attack. She soon found herself between a wall and the palm, unable to move. Ladybug and Chat Noir looked ready to jump in when the orbs resumed their movement. Danny's eyes began to glow brighter and brighter as he tried to fight through the chains. Juleka gasped as her skin began to dig into the wall.

"HELP!"

(Play Break Through It All from Sonic Frontiers)

Something in Danny's head snapped as his eyes turned from glowing green to shining in a full frost blue color. Ice formed over the chains constricting him as the air around him grew colder and colder. Soon even the enraged Holy Rocker seemed to recognize this drastic change in temperature as his breath was coming out white. Before the villain could even comment on the cold, Danny unleashed a roar that caused the chains to shatter. The orb that accompanied the chain shattered as well, all frozen fragments hanging in place.

"NOW YOU'VE DONE IT!" roared Phantom in an echoed voice. He threw his arms back as beams of light blue energy shot from his eyes. Holy Rocker turned around to face the attack, only to be hit point blank as he was sent flying across the city. The orbs that were chasing Ladybug and Chat Noir suddenly shattered from the cold as well, hanging in place. The hand of hard light dissipated, allowing Juleka to fall forward.

Danny was suddenly in front of her, holding her as he cooled down her wounds. "Are you okay, Jules?" Juleka could only nod in a dumbfounded fashion as it looked like some of her crush's hair was freezing to form a pair of horns. "Good. Get inside and don't come out until the Miraculous Cure."

Danny flew off without gaining a single form of response. The broken pieces of Holy Rocker's weapons flying after him. Ladybug and Chat Noir quickly followed, mostly to make sure Phantom didn't do anything he'd regret. Holy Rocker could be found encased in a block of ice on the side of a billboard. He soon broke out of the makeshift prison, flipping his coin to acquire five more orbs.

"F…five?" questioned the villain. "T…this isn't r…right. What…?" His question was cut off as the temperature suddenly began to drop. He raised his arms just in time to block a strong strike from Phantom, the ghost's eyes still glowing.

"This stops now, whether you want it to or not. Justice is about to be very, very cold." Holy Rocker tried to catch Phantom in one of his orbs, only for the ghostly hero to kick him away. The villain was forced to form his cloud under him as he and Phantom exchanged combos with each other. Ladybug and Chat Noir just arrived as Phantom socked the villain in the face.

"Not gonna lie, if this moment wasn't already tense I'd say it's a great movie climax." Commented the Chat Noir. Ladybug gave him an angry look, causing him to shrug in response. "Sorry. I quip when I'm stressed." They soon turned their attention back to the fight as Phantom and Holy Rocker began a push battle.

The hero suddenly headbutted the villain before putting Dick's training to good use. He sent a few strong punches into the villain's gut before backflipping a few times mid-air. The boy then flew forward with a strong kick, the attack being blocked by Holy Rocker. Phantom kicked at the villain a few more times before sending an ice beam towards the man's face. The villain dodged the attack as the two fighters flew back away from each other.

"Enough!" roared Holy Rocker. "I'm ending this, right now!" Danny frowned as he crossed his arms.

"Fine by me." Agreed the ghost hero. "Feel free to give up before I beat you senseless." Holy Rocker tried to hit Danny with a barrage of his light palms, the attacks coming at the boy at high speed. The hero's eyes glowed brighter as the broken pieces of weaponry suddenly began to combine into something in front of him. They suddenly froze over, becoming a collection of frozen blades that spun around the ghost.

Phantom roared as the ring of blades spun around him, cutting through each and every hand that was sent at him. Holy Rocker tried to hit him with his orbs, only for the hero to send his blades out in a similar matter. To even the untrained eye, it appeared that they were using similar toolkits to fight each other. The blades slashed into the beads, cutting them into pieces. "GET OVER HERE!"

Holy Rocker tried to fly backwards, only for ice blades to catch on his attire and pull him backwards. He turned around as he flipped his coin again, this time only getting four orbs. Danny suddenly grabbed the man by the arm and threw him towards a nearby building, creating a crater in the wall. The coin went flying towards the ground, the ghost boy taking his chance to fly after it. Soon Holy Rocker released himself from the stone as he followed suit.

The combatants punched and kicked at each other as they tried to fight over the coin. Danny suddenly ignored the coin as he blasted another ice blast at the villain, this time encasing his legs in ice. This caused Holy Rocker to freefall for a bit before he broke himself free. He came at Danny with another barrage of hard light palms, only for the boy to respond with a barrage of ice blasts. They continued this for a while before Danny suddenly rushed over two blades at the ready.

Holy Rocker was forced to pull out his flute as he initiated a makeshift sword fight with Phantom. The duo blocked and slashed at each other a few times, though only Danny ever made progress. Hawkmoth was seething in his lair as he threw his arm to the side.

"Just finish him, Holy Rocker!" roared the main villain. "Banish him to the great beyond, and victory will be ours!" The akuma growled as he readied his exorcism attack once more.

"SOLOHACHI!" roared Holy Rocker. He played the song again, this time the swords and the spear showing up. Phantom responded in kind as he spread his hands out.

"HAIL OF BLADES!" roared the ghostly hero. Soon the other orbs that were cut off joined the ring of blades, becoming a pair of axes instead. The two sets of weapons clashed as the two men roared at each other. "ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA!" Chat suddenly laughed as he pointed to Phantom.

"I get the reference!" cried the cat hero. Ladybug was about to scold him again, only to freeze as she saw something. The villain was making his four orbs rush at the ghost boy from behind, obviously an attempt to capture him or retrieve the coin.

"Chat Noir!" cried the main heroine. Her partner noticed the orbs too as he nodded his head. They both jumped into action, using their weapons to tear into an orb each. Ladybug then threw the tiger statuette into one of the orbs, causing it to be captured. Chat Noir held his hand back as he prepared his signature attack.

"CATACLYSM!" The boy's hand was surrounded by destruction energy as he threw it forward. He touched the remaining orb, causing it to deteriorate into dust. This action seemed to cause Holy Rocker great pain as his song suddenly stopped. Soon Danny's blades were cutting through his ghostly ones as they approached the villain.

"COLD FINISH!" roared the ghost hero. The blades rushed across the villain, stopping just short of cutting into him. It appeared Danny still had control over his actions as the blades were merely freezing the man in place. With no orbs left to draw power from, Holy Rocker was forced to stay frozen yet aware of his surroundings. Seeing as his face was still unfrozen, he let out a roar of rage.

(End song)

"YOU FOOLS!" roared Holy Rocker. "YOU THINK YOU'VE WON!? AS SOON AS I SEE THE RESULTS OF MY COIN, I'LL FINISH YOU ALL!" Chat Noir chuckled as he landed on the ground. Ladybug soon joined him, the villain's coin in hand.

"You mean this one, Holy Rocker?" questioned the lead hero. The villain's eyes widened as the girl reared her arm back. "Phantom, do the honors!" She threw the object at the ghost hero, the boy smiling for the first time since he unleashed this new power. He grabbed one of the blades and slashed the coin in half, causing it to turn white as snow.

In his lair Hawkmoth suddenly screamed bloody murder. He grabbed at his head as a painfully cold sensation began to flood his system. Realizing that he needed to cut the connection, he looked up as his window closed.

"Nooru, Dark Wings Fall!" roared the villain. In a flash his costume disappeared. Someone rushed into the room, picking him up off the floor. "Take me to my room, now." The individual nodded before carrying the villain away as a small butterfly kwami was forced to follow behind.

Back with the group, Holy Rocker suddenly turned back into Mr. Myers as the ice shattered. He fell to his knees as his orbs suddenly began to dissipate into a purple substance. To everyone's surprise a snow white butterfly with black patterns flew out of the coin. It flew around Danny a few times as his eyes returned to normal. It landed on his nose, causing him to laugh awkwardly.

"Um… you're welcome?" thanked Phantom, though it was more of a question than actual gratitude. The butterfly suddenly flew off into the air before disappearing into falling snow. "Th…that's normal, right?" The remaining members of the duo shook their heads, their confusion rather strong. Soon the sounds of people screaming and the Lucky Charm falling on Chat Noir's head cut through the awkward tension like a knife.

"Oh right!" cried Ladybug. She grabbed the tiger statuette off the ground as she reared her arm downwards. "MIRACULOUS, LADYBUG!" She threw the object into the air, causing the swarm to spread out over the city. Everything that was falling in the city was whisked away and returned to the ground in their prior locations.

Honeybee even popped up on the ground in front of the shelter. Inside the building Sabrina hugged her father for comfort while a group ran out of the building. Honeybee flew over to the group, Danny's horns still present.

"Looks like I got caught, again." Began the bee hero. "Sorry guys. I'm trying to get better but that's twice now. I…" Ladybug put her hands on Chloe's shoulders, calming her down.

"You were protecting the citizens of Paris." Began the lead Parisian hero. "While we can keep working on your skills, you did everything you could. That's all that matters at the end of the day." Honeybee smiled sadly as she nodded her head, only for her Miraculous to start beeping. Chat Noir smiled as he nodded his head.

"Aw yeah!" cried the cat boy. "Looks like we have one more thing to do before you clock out, Bee." The trio began to form their pound it circle, only to look towards Phantom.

"Get in here, Phantom." Urged Chloe. "You may be a guest, but you helped out too. It's only right that you join us here. It's tradition." Danny chuckled as he shook his head.

"Well… if it's a hero tradition here…" began Phantom. He added his fist to the circle, rearing it back at the same time as the others. Their fists met in the middle once more, almost looking like a glow was occurring.

"POUND IT!" cried the heroes. Soon the sound of groaning caught their attention. Mr. Myers was standing up, holding his head in the process.

"My head" groaned the man. "Oh no. I was akumatized, wasn't I? I told myself I would never let it happen but…" Phantom soon floated before the man, a smile on his face.

"You probably had every right to be angry at the Fentons." Began the ghostly hero. The exorcist looked to him, surprised by his appearance. He cleared his throat as he adjusted his tie.

"Phantom. In spite of my profession, I am a big fan of yours." Danny chuckled as he shook his head.

"Holy Rocker made that apparent several times. Look, there's a time and place to let your anger bubble to the surface. In whatever situation the Fentons got you into, the best course of action was to calm down and listen to the officer. I bet you he didn't specify that you were banned from the event entirely." Mr. Myers sighed as he nodded his head.

"You… you're right. I owe Officer Raincomprix an apology for my actions. Thank you for being amongst my rescuers. I hope I did not severely harm anyone in the process." Danny smiled understandingly as he nodded his head, only for the familiar sound of ghost hunting equipment powering on to catch his attention.

"PHANTOM!" roared Jack Fenton. "This has to be your fault!" Maddie soon joined him with her hood and goggles on.

"You followed us on our vacation!" roared the woman. "Eat hot ectoplasm, ghost freak!" The two parents began firing on the ghost boy, causing him to push away Mr. Myers as he flew into the air.

"Figures I take a vacation for one time in my afterlife and you guys end up coming here too." Mocked the ghost boy. "Just let me help people in peace." The request was obviously denied as he had to dodge more blasts. "Later everyone!" The boy flew away with both parents on his tail, Mr. Myers not far behind.

"Stop hunting that poor spirit!" roared the man. "He did nothing wrong!" Chat looked to the two girls in confusion, only for Ladybug to send him a look that said, "talk later." Soon the sound of approaching footsteps caught the trio's attention. A well-known reporter, Nadia Chamak, ran over to the group with a cameraman in tow.

"Ladybug, Chat Noir, Honeybee." Greeted the woman. "Do you have a moment?" Ladybug nodded her head.

"Of course but make it quick." Agreed the lead Parisian hero. "Just please make it quick. Our time's almost up." The woman nodded as she skipped through her notes. She nodded as she prepared to speak.

"Congratulations on saving Paris yet again. Eye witnesses couldn't help but notice that a controversial individual, the spirit simply known as Phantom, was present in the fight. Some claim him to be a hero while others call him a menace. Is his help in your fight a confirmation of his heroic status." Marinette smiled as she nodded her head.

"Phantom has helped past Miraculous Holders in their fights with evil. I know there's a lot of controversy against him now, but he's a trusted ally. In spite of what ghost hunters like the Fentons say, I know he's a real hero. He's currently helping out here in Paris, so expect to see more from him in the coming weeks." Mrs. Chamak nodded as she turned her attention towards the camera.

"There you have it folks. According to Ladybug, Phantom is a hero and is now here to help out Paris. He might not be here forever but remember to show your appreciation whenever you see him. This is Nadia Chamak for Just the News, signing off." With the outro complete the Miraculous Heroes split up in different directions.

Marinette and Chloe ended up returning to the spot where they first transformed, their powers still remaining for a moment. It looked like Chloe was about to ask a question when Danny suddenly became tangible in the alley. He sighed in relief as he returned to normal, the ice blades seeming to disappear in rings of their own.

"Phew!" cried the tourist. "Mom and Dad are just as zealous as ever. Glad I ditched them in that parking garage or else I…" The boy stopped in his tracks as he noticed both Ladybug and Honeybee staring at him. He chuckled to himself as he looked around the area.

He looked up to the sky as he cupped his hands. "Nice job Phantom. Sorry you had to possess me to do your job this time. I…" Marinette sighed as she shook her head.

"Danny, she saw you transform before the fight happened." Revealed Marinette. "It's okay. She knows about me too." Danny looked to the hero, surprised by the news. Before he could question anything Marinette's Miraculous unleashed its final beep, causing her to de-transform in front of him.

"Danny!" cheered Tiki as she formed into the air. She suddenly crashed into the boy's chest, giggling as she rubbed her face into it. "I missed you so much! It's been too long!" Danny couldn't help but chuckle himself as he carefully used one of his hands to embrace the kwami.

"I was wondering when I was gonna see you, ya scamp!" greeted the ghost boy. "Haven't seen you ever since I had to work with Hercules to fight a that guy who was using Kaalki to steal from everyone. Hope every holder up to Marinette has been good to you." Chloe couldn't control her emotions anymore as she gestured to the ghost boy.

"What the heck, Fenton!?" questioned the former mean girl. "Have you been dead this whole time!? You better not be leading Juleka on only to hurt her in the end! AND HOW DO YOU KNOW TIKI!?" Marinette rubbed the blonde heroine's shoulders in another attempt to calm her down.

"Stay calm, Chloe." Reassured the Ladybug hero. "Count to ten." The blonde sighed as she mentally counted to ten in her head. This seemed to work as she finally calmed down, her Miraculous finally running out of juice as she returned to normal. Danny's eyes widened as he looked over the duo.

"Chloe?" questioned the ghost boy. "Wow. The Miraculous do a way better job of hiding the user than I thought. Looking at you now, I can totally see the resemblance." Finally calming down enough to properly speak, Chloe nodded her head.

"Please just answer the question, Danny." Requested the mayor's daughter. "What's going on?" Danny snapped his fingers as he nodded his head, Tiki finally pulling away from him.

"Right. Since I've told this story so many times, an abridged version. Parents built a portal to the Ghost Zone in the basement, it didn't work, I went inside at Sam's suggestion, found the on switch on the inside, now I'm half ghost meaning I can turn into a ghost at will, and instead of trying to just be normal I decided to help people. Did I miss out on anything important?" Chloe blinked multiple times, surprisingly getting a lot from the abridged version.

"I swear, if your parents do something stupid to hurt you, I am forcing you to come here and stay away from those lunatics." Danny chuckled awkwardly, both flattered and concerned by the declaration. Marinette stepped forward as Tiki returned to her side.

"I feel like you guys mentioned it when you just spoke, but how do you know Tiki?" questioned the clumsy girl. "From what I heard you were with Hercules." Danny snapped his fingers as he nodded his head.

"That is a fun story." Began the ghost boy. "I had to use the Infinimap to fix a problem in time. I fixed it with Clockwork's help, but I ended up falling into ancient Rome. There a thief stole the Infinimap without knowing what it was and I met with Hercules. FYI, Herc was actually the son of Zeus and had a lot of power but he also used the Lion Miraculous to make himself stronger in the face of odds that were beyond his normal strength."

Marinette blinked at this news as Tiki nodded her head. "I decided to help him, the Black Cat wielder, and the Ladybug wielder at the time stop a thief who was posing as Hermes using the horse Miraculous's portals to steal from others. I ended up befriending Plagg and Tiki as we fought the guy. We ended up winning and I got the map back. Plagg and Tiki promised to meet me in the future and here we are, thousands of years later."

Even Chloe and Pollen looked dumbfounded at the story as Danny rubbed the back of his head. "I honestly should have been more careful when I transformed earlier. I was just trying to help get this akuma finished as quickly as possible. I know it probably goes without saying but…" Marinette nodded as she sent him a small smile.

"Chloe's one of us, so she won't say anything to anyone. Right Chloe?" The duo turned towards the rich girl who quickly nodded as she regained her composure.

"If Marinette is vouching for you then I guess I can give you a chance." Reassured Chloe. "Let me just make one thing clear. You and Juleka made it very clear that you like each other in some way. I know I'm on a road to redemption but if you hurt her, I will make you pay." Danny felt sweat pour down his face as he nodded his head.

"Hurting her is definitely not on my list of things to do in life." Replied the ghost boy. "I swear on my ghostly core. Speaking of… does anyone know what was up with the butterfly? Last I check you have to purify it, Marinette." The girl in question shook her head in denial.

"I've never seen that happen before." Revealed the baker's daughter. "It was like your powers did something to it." Danny was about to make a comment when Tiki popped up between them.

"We can discuss this later!" cried the little kwami. "We have to get back to the others now." Realizing the time, Marinette nodded her head.

"She's right. They're going to be worried about us. Let's move." Danny and Chloe nodded as they followed the Ladybug hero, the kwami hiding with their respective owners. They ran back to the original meeting place, the others looking around frantically.

"I see them!" cried Jazz. The others turned to watch as the trio stopped before them while huffing a few times. The others ran over to check on them. Cries of "are you guys okay" and "where were you" were shouted out amongst the group. "Give them some room to speak guys." The others quickly backed off, only for Danny's eyes to widen.

"Hey, where's Juleka?" questioned the hidden ghost. "Is she not with you guys?" The others looked around in confusion, only for more huffing to occur.

"I'm here!" cried Juleka. Danny looked her way, thankful that the Miraculous cure seemed to reverse any damage to her. "I was told to hide in another building by Phantom after he saved me. It took me a while to find my way back here and…" Danny suddenly enveloped the girl in a hug, causing her to blush and the others to give him knowing looks.

"I'm so glad you're okay. Please never worry me like that again." Juleka took control of her blush as a nice, cooling sensation enveloped her.

"I'm sorry if I scared you. I think you can let go of me now." Danny soon reflected her expression as he released her, nodding his head repeatedly.

"So… um… what did you think of Phantom? Was he pretty… cool?" Chloe and Alix couldn't help but groan while Marinette and Jazz rolled their eyes with smiles. Meanwhile Kim looked like he was trying not to burst out into laughter at the pun. Juleka let out a light giggle of her own as she nodded her head.

"I think he's a great hero. I'm glad I got to meet him, even if it was because he was saving my life." Danny grinned from ear to ear, happy that his crush liked both sides of him. Soon the sound of honking caught the group's attention. Chloe's limo rider had returned, holding what looked to be a rather large bag in his grasp.

"My bag!" cheered Marinette. She ran over to collect the luggage from the man, bowing respectfully before he returned to the vehicle. She then ran over as she opened the bag. "I know it's a bit late due to how hectic today has been but… I finished your commission." Danny's eyes widened as he retrieved something from the inside of the bag.

He pulled out a dark blue hooded fabric jacket that had different purple and green colors creating a galaxy on the back, a black shirt depicting a green ghost flying in a circle around the planet earth, and slightly baggy jeans that were a dark shade of ecto green with purple and icy blue accents. He then pulled out a shoe box that held a pair of black sneakers with the same shade of ecto green on the soles and laces. It was then completed by a necklace depicting his swords from Doomed crossed in front of the skull of Cryos from the same game (3). "I figured it would be good for you to have multiples of the outfit since you like to wear the same thing a lot, so there are more of the shirt and pants in the bag." Danny blinked as he looked to Marinette.

"I… I don't know what to say." Stated the ghost boy. "Let me get out my wallet and…" Marinette held up her hand in denial.

"Let's worry about that later. Right now you should just enjoy your vacation. You can always pay for it later." Danny looked like he had a counter offer, but the designer's smug grin just had some effect that told him it wasn't worth it. Alix grinned as she slowly clapped her hands together.

"Hoodie on." Began the sporty girl. "Hoodie on." Kim soon started to join her, followed by Sabrina and Rose. Danny looked amongst the group, chuckling at their insistence. He put the rest of the clothes back in the bag before sliding on the hoodie, earning cheers of excitement from the goofy members of the group.

"There… it's on." Jokingly huffed the ghost boy. "In all seriousness, how do I look?" He turned his attention back towards Juleka, the girl giving him a sincere smile.

"Handsome." Complimented the girl, seemingly in her own world. She soon realized what she said as she rubbed her arm. "I… I meant what I said. I can't wait to see you in the rest." Danny blushed as he looked away.

"T…thanks." The duo felt the knowing looks of their companions on them, though thankfully it wasn't in a creepy way. Juleka worked up some of her courage as she stood straight.

"Can we… I mean… would you like to…" Danny looked to her to try and discern what she was meaning, wondering what it could be. Before the girl could work up her full courage, a honking sound took the group's attention.

"Danny, Jazz!" cried Jack Fenton. The group looked over to see a vehicle that the Fenton Kids knew as the Fenton Mobile at the side of the road. "We have to ghost proof our hotel rooms! Phantom is in the city and I don't want any ghosts possessing you in the middle of the night!" Danny and Jazz groaned as the honking came once again.

"We're coming!" cried Jazz. "Sorry guys. When dad gets like this nothing can stop him short of Mom pulling on his ear. Since Phantom's involved, that's not gonna happen." There were cries and whines of disappointment from the childish members of the group as the redhead walked towards the vehicle.

"Dann-o! I called for you too! Don't make me get the Fenton Megaphone!" Danny groaned as he rolled his eyes. He sent Juleka a strained smile as he nodded at her.

"To be continued, okay?" requested Danny. Juleka sent him a sad frown as she nodded her head. More honking occurred as Danny rushed over to the vehicle. He wasn't even able to wave goodbye as the armored vehicle took off, nearly slamming the door on his foot. Juleka let out a disappointed sigh as she looked to the ground.

"I didn't get to ask him to go on a walk." Groaned the shy girl. "Those stupid… Rose. I need one." Realizing what her friend meant, Rose immediately wrapped Juleka in a hug.

"It's okay." Reassured the cheery girl. "There's always tomorrow. The convention will be in town for a while. Just relax." Chloe growled as she clenched her fists.

"Game on, Fentons." Growled the former mean girl. "You wanna cause your ghost trouble and keep Danny and Jazz from enjoying their vacation? Then you better realize that this means war. I am going to make sure that they have the best vacation of their lives, even if I have to fight their parents on it." Marinette sent her political friend a worried chuckle.

"Let's… not go that far unless necessary, Chloe." Requested the hidden hero. "Let's just be there for them whenever we can." What Marinette didn't know was that the others sans Rose and Juleka were actually of the same line of thinking as the former Queen Bee. Paris was about to see a new war in town, one between local teens and a pair of less than ideal parents.

A few hours later, the Fenton parents had succeeded in ghost proofing the rooms as much as the hotel would allow. Danny was just thankful that he and Jazz had a separate room from their parents a few room numbers down. He made sure to secretly deactivate the ghost proofing tech in a way that his parents wouldn't realize they were off. He opened the mini fridge as he pulled out a cold soda. He closed the door as he stood up, only to realize that Jazz was standing close to him with her arms crossed.

"I'm rather curious." Began the redhead. "Back when we were near the shelter, Sabrina told us her dad saw Mr. Myers be akumatized. When it was brought up again that he was an exorcist, both I and Juleka whispered your name. She seemed just as concerned as I was. I heard she even beat me to the punch as I was busy trying to find something to help out."

Danny backed up a bit, only to be met with his bed. Jazz decided to drive her point home as she stepped forward to be in the same distance as before. "So… mind telling me how Juleka seems to know that you and Phantom are linked somehow? I'm sure that's quite the story." Danny chuckled as he gestured to her bed behind her.

"Will an abridged version work?"

---

Inkaliber: And done! This ended being the longest chapter in all of the story so far. I could break it up into two different chapters, but something just didn't feel right about that. So we get this massive masterpiece. I will apologize for how long it is…

Meowth: That was cream of da crop Boss! Don't worry about a ting! It was top tier!

James: There was plenty of interactions and sweet moments amongst the group! The akuma was also rather intriguing. Its design and abilities were so unique that I would have loved to see it in the actual show.

Adrien: Yeah, like we could handle that on our own. I'd probably be left alone to fend for myself as Marinette went to Master Fu to retrieve the Tiger Miraculous. Maybe even a few more for good measure.

Danny: I'm just surprised that I showed off some cool new power. It was like I was leaning more into my ice core. Maybe I should try that some time.

Ellie: Now I wish I knew what my core was. I know it's probably ice since I'm a clone but…

Jazz: Let's just wait and see before we assume anything like that. Core's seem to be the essence of who a ghost is and you are your own person.

Rose: Finally! I got to give everyone hugs! This was so amazing! Shame the parents had to ruin a good moment.

Inkaliber: Well everything will get better from here. Now could everyone please vacate the room? I have to close out the chapter. Chaotzu should be back with pizza any moment now.

Kim: Pizza! Here I come!

Ellie: Save some for me!

Alix: Race ya for it!

Inkaliber: Finally alone with my thoughts. In any case, what did you think of the chapter? Did you like the meeting between the Fentons and the Paris kids? How about Juleka and Danny's new threads? And how about the new power Danny has apparently acquired? Let me know what you think down below and I'll try to get back to you ASAP. This is Inkaliber, signing… I feel like I forgot something.

SLAM!

Deadpool: Huffing and puffing while a piranha is biting his butt. WHY DO YOU EVEN HAVE THAT BLEEP!ING BUTTON! I missed the whole BLEEP! thing! Pulls piranha off his butt. Kicks it back down the stairs.

Inkaliber:… Oh right. Wayde… See you later guys!

1: One true love

2: An attack that involves playing a solo on a shakuhachi (Look up the instrument).

3: Boss battle from the ice level of Doomed: The Second Coming from the Voice of Reason chapter.
