The next day was their last day in Paris. Yesterday was a bit stressful but at least they hoped one day Lila would face the consequences of her actions when the time was right. Other than facing akumatized villains and discovering the Golden City myth, they at least experienced a lot of things than receiving a miraculous from the former holders. Pelle was in his room packing his things up and so did Luna. Thankfully when they reach the airport, technology won't be able to detect kwamis.
Pelle looked at his ticket and saw his flight departure time, "I have never been to Spain. Do they have delicious food?" Trunkk asked.
"Yes, they got among the best food there," Pelle said.
"Before you leave, you should let Panthera know. Don't get her worried again like yesterday" Trunkk said.
"Yes, I will before I depart," Pelle said.
"And tell Ladybug and Cat Noir too," Trunkk said.
"Okay then" Pelle nods, "Trunkk, flap my ears" He transformed and jumped out the window and onto the roof. He searched for the three heroes to announce his departure.
"Rawr!" Panthera pounced on him, "Gotcha!"
"Oh, hey there, amigo" Blu Tembo laughed.
"I went looking everywhere for you, Chico. As well as looking for Ladybug and Cat Noir. It's my last day here in Paris" Panthera gets up.
"Same for me. I'm going do my duties elsewhere" Blu Tembo said.
"I suppose we both have our own journey to be superheroes," Panthera said.
"Yep," Blu Tembo nodded.
"You have my hero number, right?" Panthera asked.
"Nope," Blu Tembo said and took out a notepad.
"You always carry that around?" Panthera asked.
"In case I want to call any fellow heroes I might need their numbers," Blu Tembo said.
"You love being prepared, don't you?" Panthera chuckled and wrote her superhero phone number.
"Yep," Blu Tembo replied.
"Hey, guys. We were on patrol and saw you two getting along" Ladybug said.
"Hola Ladybug and Cat Noir" Panthera saw them.
"So, you guys going your own journeys?" Cat Noir kissed Panthera's back palm.
"Si, we are. To spread justice elsewhere" Panthera said.
"That's right," Blu Tembo said.
"We are proud to be your teachers in being superheroes," Ladybug said.
"Thanks, Ladybug" Blu Tembo smiled.
"So, where are you guys going?" Cat Noir asked.
"Naughty gatito. Superheroes never reveal their secrets" Panthera scratched his chin.
"Okay" Cat Noir purred, "You learn fast"
"Let's say I'm going down south," Blu Tembo said.
"To see fellow elephants, I guess" Ladybug guessed.
"Maybe," Blu Tembo said, "After all, I'm like the daddy in the family whenever I see baby elephants"
"Heh, we all love animals but I do love justice," Panthera said.
"Yeah," Blu Tembo said.
"Hopefully someday you two will become legends like your previous ancestor holders before you," Ladybug said.
"Heh, I suppose we will once our ancestors can see what we can do for their legacy," Blu Tembo said.
"Yeah, and I hope mine and Ladybug's did as well in El Dorado," Cat Noir said.
"Especially in New York and Shanghai," Panthera said.
"Yeah, I hope" Cat Noir replied.
"Hopefully someday you two will defeat that monster. Unmasking him is a challenge but I hope he gets a life sentence for using innocent people for his selfish gain" Panthera said.
"He could be anyone but the more he gains, the less he has. Maybe losing his wife or his kids at the cost of his betrayal" Blu Tembo said.
"Maybe" Ladybug shrugs.
"Muy malo. The same could happen to Chloe and Lila. Maybe they have an empty life and could not try anything to achieve. I've seen what bullies are like in my high school life years ago. Jealousy eats them up a lot when they are not at the center of attention. Kindness can reason them but sometimes it doesn't" Panthera said.
"They just don't have it," Ladybug said.
"Purrhaps" Cat Noir said.
"Just keep trying, guys. Who knows, maybe they'll come around if they have a change of mind or heart. If not, then I guess the hard truth is the universe's answer" Blu Tembo said.
"We'll be ready, Tembo" Cat Noir said.
"I suppose this is adios then," Panthera said.
"Take care, Cat Cousin" Cat Noir shakes hands with her.
"I'm sure gonna miss your cat puns and your humor, gatito" Panthera hugs him, without noticing how strong she is as the Jaguar.
"Oh! I'm gonna miss you too" Cat Noir felt her strength.
Blu Tembo hugged Ladybug, "Take care of Paris Ladybug"
"I'll do my best," Ladybug said.
"Sorry. Big cat strength. Still working on that" Panthera chuckled nervously.
"It's ok," Cat Noir said.
"So far you both are gathering new teammates for the past few months. Like this is turning into the Justice League or the Avengers" Panthera said.
"Something like that. We should have our headquarters" Ladybug said.
"Heh, if we did. But first, kicking that hybrid monster's ass. Maybe then, fight real criminals" Cat Noir said.
"We'll see, Kitty" Ladybug said.
"In the future," Cat Noir said.
"The future is always a mystery before you know it," Blu Tembo said.
"We know one who can travel through time but can't reveal all about the future," Ladybug said.
"Of course. Paradox risks" Blu Tembo said.
"Take care, you two. I can't wait to hear great stories on social media" Panthera said.
"Adios Panthera" Cat Noir saluted.
"See you soon you two" Ladybug said.

At the airport, Pelle and Luna said their farewells to their elders, unaware that they were given a miraculous that day.
"I promise, I'll be fine down at Malaga" Pelle assured the African elder.
"Use it wisely in danger, remember that," The African elder said.
"Don't worry, I will" Pelle said and shook his hand.
"There was a time I was your age, I always loved elephants like you. Even my people in Kenya loved the stories of every previous elephant holder before you and me. It was always in Africa for centuries. But now you're the first white man to travel to places to do new things than just one country" The elder said.
"Yes, starting with Paris but now in Malaga," Pelle said.
"Take care Pelle, and have a nice flight," The elder said.
"Thanks, see you soon," Pelle said and boarded his plane.
Luna talked to the female elder to let her know that she'd be going to Greece to learn about Greek mythology and take a tour.
"If anything happens down there, use the miraculous if there is any real danger," The female elder said.
"Jaguar's honor, señorita" Luna said, holding her hand up.
"Excellente, Luna" The elder smiled.
"Do you think I'm worthy? I did get akumatized but Shadowmoth didn't know I was Panthera" Luna said.
"You are worthy. Just don't fall by his influence again" The female elder said.
"I won't. Not even from that liar" Luna said.
"Everyone lies in life, Chiquita. Whether good or bad, like you said, actions speak louder than words" The elder said.
"Si. That's right" Luna said.
"And always remember that," The elder said.
"I will. Well, my flight is about to go" Luna checks the board.
"Que el Jaguar se convierta en tu fuerza." The elder remind her that strength is like a Jaguar.
"I know. And see you soon" Luna heads for her gate waving.
The female elder waved goodbye as Luna departed.
With both facing their counterparts and bringing balance to El Dorado by defeating the evil god, the new heroes have much more to experience in the future, whatever comes to them.
