Princess Justice already felt the urge of revenge, ignoring Monarch's demands as if he doesn't want her to attack Gabriel which made her wonder why he cares about him if he doesn't care about anyone else he akumatized or akumas going after the victims responsible for something they did.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! You want the deal or not?!" Princess Justice getting irritated with Monarch's constant demands.
"This was not part of the deal!" Monarch said.
"I have altered the deal, it's off!" Princess Justice yelled.
"Justice will be served when I find peace for Paris from every toxic crap!" She burst the door down, only to be stopped by the bodyguard.
"Move aside!" Princess Justice made a demand spell from her sword and the bodyguard mindlessly obeyed her command, "That's a good boy. I don't understand why that cruel old man tells you everything to do that isn't anything greater good for Adrien but protecting him" She looked in Gabriel's office but no one was here.
"Gabriel Agreste" She sang-song in a twisted tone, "You always are a coward hiding in the mansion. You never support Adrien's life like a real father but treat him like he's some puppet while you give him strict orders! That's called child abuse!"
"Princess, that's enough! This is not Justice, this is madness!" Cat Noir came into the office.
"I don't care! All I care about is my sweet innocent Adrien to be free from being ordered around by his father! You have no idea how much it hurts to see my prince suffer and chooses to obey his father over everything, even if he doesn't like to let me or his friends down!" Princess Justice engaged in a fight which nearly had Cat Nour lose his focus from hearing how she felt for his civilian self.
"I understand your pain! I do! Parents can be controlling but they are just being overprotective of their kids!" Cat Noir grunts but was smashed through the window, landing on the front yard.
"Overprotecting?! More like a control freak he is! Unlike him, my parents support me and love me! They support me and Adrien being in love because they love to see us happy!" Princess Justice clashes her sword against his staff, "Gabriel does not but controls Adrien's life. He never spends time with him! Which is called neglecting his son! You call that overprotection?!"
"No! But I will deal with him the way Ladybug would!" Cat Noir then blocks one blow.
"Bullshit!" Princess Justice did not believe him as she kicked him in the gut, "What kind of knight are you? You don't know a sense of Justice when all you do is make puns to annoy akumatized victims for a laugh!"
"As a knight…." Cat Noir gets up, "….I did promise you to have your and your prince have your happily ever after!" He blocked her attack.
"Too bad your old princess is gone!" Princess Justice cackled.
"I'm not giving up yet!" Cat Noir got back up.
"Aww…is the mangey alley cat scared to lose?" Princess Justice can see fear in his eyes, "Better yet, he failed to protect his princess from that deceitful witch to cast her evil spell on everyone to go against her?!" She taunted in anger by seeing fear in his eyes as she pushed her sword down on his staff to make him kneel.
"Not...today!" Cat Noir pushed her back with all his strength.
"Lila will pay for her crimes but I will make sure she doesn't cast evil spells like a witch again! That's a promise to my real princess Marinette!" Cat Noir said with Justice, "Starting with saving you from that sorcerer Monarch's evil spell!"
"I have already found my true strength! And I serve nobody!" Princess Justice slash at him but missed.
"Marinette! Your charming prince wouldn't want this! You may think you are freeing him but you're only causing chaos, not justice!" Cat Noir trying to knock sense into her but she was far beyond reach.
"He's been like Rapunzel stuck in a tower for too long!" Princess Justice knocked him against the stop sign, "And 'stop' trying to get in my way!" She made her pun intended before leaving to rest until she's ready to make a list of people who did injustice.
"Marinette...urgh" Cat Noir groaned.
Too sore to fight again and realizing how strong she is as an akumatized person, there's no one else to help him since he's the last remaining holder and no Ladybug to help him.
"I need to find someone worthy" He said.
It wasn't easy finding someone worthy. Eagle in New York already has her duties along with the United Heroez. Ladydragon already became a superhero in Shanghai and she's already having the life with Marinette's uncle. During that Diamond Dance incident with his cousin who has the miraculous of the peacock who nearly caused damage and nearly wiping Marinette out of existence, he returns and shows too much priority towards Kagami like he cares too much for her which is barely unnatural of him to care for anyone other than himself. But of course, he's no superhero in London since there was no news about it as if he was in hiding from Monarch or something else. Then he had an idea, to combine the miraculous. He hopes it doesn't give out too much for Monarch to think Ladybug can't help.
"Tikki, I need to unify you with my ring" Cat Noir said.
"This could dangerous, Mr. Noir. Right now, you are injured. Judging by what she said, it's like she will rest too to find victims to go after who did injustice" Tikki suggests he rests.
"Right. Plagg claws in" He detransformed once in an alley, clutching his side.
Even as a civilian there was a difference between getting punched as a superhero, "Agh! I think she did a lot of punching without proper princess manners" Adrien groaned.
"I hope there's no broken bones" Plagg said.
"I can still move. Just probably bruises and damn it she was strong. Where are you, milady?" Adrien said, unaware that Ladybug is no longer available because she's now Princess Justice of the same person. He took his shirt off to look at the bruise.
"This is bad, Adrien. If your father sees that, he'll murder you straight to the hospital" Plagg said.
"And what? Ground me again or take me out of school just because I fought my girlfriend as Cat Noir? Honestly he never thinks about the lives at stake happening in Paris because he cares about is himself. Princess Justice is right, my father is not supporting my relationship with my princess nor my friendship with my friends" Adrien hissed in pain.
"We need a new plan once you recover" Tikki said.
"Yeah. But I just hope Marinette won't try something more dangerous in Paris and to herself. Where can the akuma have landed?" Adrien asked her.
"I don't know. Knowing her from my Ladybug, she's very creative" Tikki said, only witnessed her owner struggling to fight the Akuma but never saw where the Akuma landed on.
"Well Princess Justice better not have taken your holder out" Adrien said.
Tikki had to make an excuse, "She didn't. Yesterday she told me to find new owner before she had left for a trip. She didn't have time again and I can't go to Scarabella since Monarch knows who she is"
"I see. But she better be safe" Adrien said.
"Let's go before your father murders you" Plagg said.
"Okay" Adrien groaned.
With Princess Justice, she has settled in an abandoned warehouse. She made a list on her pinboard of people who do injustice. She already exposed Lila Rossi and heard she was in jail for a crime she committed, especially hearing 3 women who thought they were her mom, turns out they were lied and deceived. Right now her list is the Mayor, Chloe, Gabriel Agreste, mostly her friends, and finally…..Felix Fathom.
"Just wait everyone, revenge will be best served cold" She said darkly.
Unfortunately for Monarch, he made the biggest mistake to akumatize someone with a sense of twisted revenge and Justice all at once because not only does she want Justice but also revenge on those who made her suffer as she has suffered enough to one day feel like the world abandoned her. What's worse he couldn't remove the akuma. It has already chosen to feast on her negative emotions. It was as if super glued to her. Knowing her powers, Monarch knew he'd stand no chance against her.
If Ladybug and Cat Noir fail to stop her, it can be chaotic or worse, something far more terrifying that he could lose his son. Every time Nooro tries to warn him about the consequences of personal gain, he would always silence him so many times without listening.

Adrien made it to the mansion and he can't ask Nathalie for medical aid or he gets her in trouble if Gabriel puts the blame on both of them. Especially losing his life to get pulled out of school again and be forced to live in an isolated mansion.
"Agh!" Adrien reaches his drawers for painkillers for his headaches and body pain.
"Kid, you're the last holder here. Well, maybe not" Plagg swallows his cheese.
"What do you mean?" Adrien carefully moves on his bed.
"That bloody blue bird who holds the miraculous of the peacock. The one to go into a lunatic birdbrain but then undid his doing for you" Plagg said.
"No" Adrien refused to ask for his cousin's help, "No! No! No! Absolutely not! He betrayed me, Cat Noir, and Ladybug to trade all the miraculous to that monster! I'm not gonna make the same mistake again the same way I did with Lila!" He felt so angry to think Argos can help when he was the one to create a bigger monster than just his troublemaking routine.
"Fine, suit yourself" Plagg gave up arguing.
Adrien has seen what his mother and maternal aunt are like. His aunt was trying to be the good mother she can, especially with her husband too. While his mother was the opposite who likes to care for her son and listens to everything he likes while Gabriel barely tries to listen but push their happiness too far. Until the time when his mother disappeared or presumed dead, it was the same time with Felix's father who died too but never came to the funeral.
His father changed a lot to never spend anymore time with him for over a year while Felix also became arrogant and a troublemaker like grief can do a lot of things in 7 stages.
"If only Bunnyx could tell the future that's coming" Adrien said.
Knowing her adult self, she is forbidden to reveal everything about the future because passing that information to past versions can alter the future, creating branches of a new past to an altered future no one belongs in.
"I guess I'll have to face Princess Justice myself as the combined holder" Adrien said.
"Absolutely not. If you fail and she wins, Monarch will win too. You know your cousin longer than anyone else. Kagami may be our option but I don't think she's capable of solving a solution" Plagg said.
"But she was a fast learner as Ryuko from the start" Tikki said.
"Yes but no one is like the real Ladybug. Plus, what if Monarch tracks her the same way he did with Scarabella? Felix doesn't live in Paris but he has the peacock miraculous, he can be cunning and sneaky like a thief. Plus, how did he find out who Monarch is without warning Ladybug or Cat Noir?" Plagg asked.
"No idea, And I think he deserved his punishment for being a cowardly snake. I must find Kagami and convince her" Adrien said.
"It's worth a shot" Tikki said.

Unfortunately with Kagami, Princess Justice did remember that she was manipulated by Lila and was akumatized twice. Especially ruining her date with Adrien was enough to see that Kagami did not know much about Lila's evil schemes to manipulate Kagami to believe Marinette was a bad person when in reality, it was Lila who used Kagami to get rid of her for her. Leaving Kagami to be the one responsible to blame.
"Marinette, snap out of it! I know I shouldn't have trust Lila before! You told me that actions speak louder than words!" Kagami backs away.
"But you did let her get into your head. Have you not thought of how she tried twisting your feelings to one day go against me? What if she made you go too far until everyone sees you're in this mess while she comes clean?" Princess Justice glared at her, "Face it, Kagami. Actions prove more than by words. She manipulated you to believe I was a bad person so you can get rid of me for her!"
"But I thought we put that behind us!" Kagami reminded her.
"So had I!" Princess Justice raised her sword.
"Until Lila had to go for my friends to do the same thing to me! No one did Justice for her! You thought she was stealing Adrien when you got akumatized into Oni Chan but you had no memory of it!" Princess Justice raised her sword to attack her but Cat Noir jumps in to push Kagami aside and blocks the sword with his staff.
"Kagami, run!" Cat Noir said.
"You again?!" Princess Justice screamed in frustration for failing to do justice on Kagami, "Why can't you take a cat nap?!" He kicked him against the tree of the park.
"It's not over till the day is saved!" Cat Noir spins his staff, "And you're becoming a greater threat than Monarch himself!"
"Grr! I'm no threat! Lila is the real threat! You saw what she is now! A fraud!" She sliced the tree one by one but missed him, "A con! A pathological liar! An inhuman bitch! Maybe she wanted me to get akumatized to make me look bad but that wasn't smart of her when akumas go after Chloe for revenge! I for one went after Lila instead!"
"You're endangering everyone!" Cat Noir grabs her wrists and struggled.
"Oh, really? Ever since I had to listen to my boyfriend's advice to take the high road, Lila had every chance to manipulate everyone's trust! You think taking the high road was a good idea?!" Princess Justice grunts and slammed him against the tree.
"It was his mistake! He regrets it!" Cat Noir dodged before she could stab him with the sword.
"I still love him but I'm still angry at listening to his advice!" Princess Justice roared.
"You leave me no choice!" Cat Noir blocks her sword. He managed to strike her in the stomach and then disarm her by knocking the sword away.
Then he grabs her with his legs to try tear off the akuma from her. The Akuma was not in her sword, he thought maybe it's in her tiara.
"This looks important!" He snaps it but none came out.
"GET OFF!" Princess Justice pushed him off, "How dare you disrespect a princess!"
"Marinette, please! I'm trying to save you! This isn't you!" Cat Noir kips up to his feet.
"Marinette was weak and suffered too long! It's Princess Justice that I am now! Unlike Chloe who claims to be the queen of bullshit, I decide to wipe out injustice!" She creates another new tiara and her sword, "No one will ever ignore their consequences or injustice!"
"And are you planning on punishing everyone who does wrong things in life?!" Cat Noir held his staff out.
"Until everyone has learned to stop being such idiotic fools! Like Kim for example, he didn't know that pranks can harm people and cause mental trauma that I suffered from! Chloe choose to be friends with a liar to replace Sabrina! She has no idea she was being manipulated the same way Monarch manipulated her!" Princess Justice points out her facts.
"You can't right the wrongs, princess!" Cat Noir clashed his staff with her sword, "You can't control everyone's decisions! They make their own decisions in life! Whether it's good or bad, it needs to be balanced!"
"I won't stop until everyone paid their price!" Princess Justice struggled.
"Princess, I know what they did to upset you and you have every right but taking it out like that with Monarch's Akuma on you is evil! Please reject the Akuma!" Cat Noir struggled to push her against the tree, "Adrien would be scared and devastated to lose you!"
"He won't lose me! I'll be sure to give him freedom and a real life he deserves!" Princess Justice headbutts him.
Cat Noir groans and wipes the blood off his nose, "He'll have it once his father faces charges!" He tries to calm her down.
"You're lying! No one can arrest him but I can punish him without authorization! Mirage!" Princess Justice used the fox miraculous to create an illusion clones of herself to confuse him.
"That does it! CATACLYSM!" Cat Noir charges one and punched hard to the ground to create an shockwave.
Causing the blast of shockwave to make the illusions disappear but no real one in sight as if she escaped.
Cat Noir growls in defeat but then saw Kagami approach, "What happened to her to become this?" Kagami asked.
"Lila's doing again. And Ladybug's missing in action so I hereby got her earrings" Cat Noir showed her the earrings.
"Lila? You're kidding me, right?" Kagami said in disbelief.
"No, I'm not. You saw the news that she got arrested?" Cat Noir said.
"No. What exactly happened?" Kagami asked.
Unfortunately he didn't have time when his ring is beeping that he used cataclysm, "I'll tell you later" He jumps to the roof to recharge his miraculous in private.
