Miraculous: Rise of Anatis 75

Hello!! I'm back!! Did you guys miss me? Well, I missed you! :D So here's the recent chapter. So sorry it took so long. I had to put it aside while I made my Scaramouche cosplay for comic con! Which was amazing!! You can check out my pics of it on Tumblr. Now on with the story. Here we have the Triplets of Terror!!! These original akumas were provided by Mudkip4Life so thank you for letting me use them. I tried to stick to the material given by them when writing them so I hope I did them justice. Honestly, it was a really hard chapter to write because I had no idea how to do this tbh. Also enjoy this little bit of peace because we are officially entering the 'Truth' Arc so expect feels and pain for the next few chapters. The next chapter will be centered around Felix been akumatized so I'm going to be taking inspire from Gabriel Agreste and the one where he turns up with the peacock miraculous. Anyway hope you enjoy this chapter and hopefully I won't take this long with releasing the next few chapters. I am making another cosplay tho and working a lot at the moment. Yay summer holidays

Chapter Seventy-Five: Triplets of Terror

~Felix Sr's House~

Felix Sr stared at his sister in law as Bridgette handed her a cup of tea before giving one to him. He turned his attention to her and smiled lightly at her before pecking her cheek. She smiled back before clearly her throat. The Atmosphere was so thick it could be cut with a knife and it made her uncomfortable. She was glad that Felix Jr was out with his friends and cousin. Not that Amelie needed to know that. She would probably tell Adrien's father and the poor boy would be punished for trying to be normal. 

"Um... I'm going to go into my studio," She declared, causing Felix to nod. "Give me a yell if you need anything,"

With that, she quickly left the room. Amelie barely touched her tea as Felix sipped his.

"So what do you need to talk about?"

"A black swan themed hero apparently appeared in the battle against the latest akuma today," She stated, making him raise an eyebrow. "Care to explain?"

"And why would I have anything to explain?"

"I know it was you!" She gasped, standing up. "Oh god, Felix! Why?! You swore you'd never use magic again!"

"You know full well that it isn't something I can switch off, Amelie!" He declared back. "And what was I meant to do?! Let Hawkmoth win?"

"You were not meant to be involved!" She gasped, slamming her fist down before pinching her nose. "Felix, have you... fully returned?"

"I never truly left, Amelie," He replied, making her frown. "Whenever we like it or not, Colt bestowed me the title of Acting Grand Mage of Paris before he died. I never chose a successor when I walked away which was something I shouldn't have done. Hawkmoth is a threat to the magical community as well as the human one and it is my duty as both a miraculous holder and the acting grand mage to help the heroes stop him,"

"You don't understand what you are getting involved in!" She gasped, making him look at her. "Felix, I understand why you are doing what you are doing but if you keep going down this path, we will become enemies. I don't want that. You're my family for crying out loud. My son is your nephew,"

"What do you mean by enemies?" He asked, narrowing his eyes. Amilie went quiet and sat down, sipping her tea. "Amelie?"

"... Gabriel has reactivated the group..." She stated, making Felix narrow her eyes. "Oh don't give me that look again! We have a good reason to be activate again,"

"Your little cult is the reason why my brother is dead!" He snarled, making her gasp. "And yet you run back to them like they didn't kill him?!"

"It's not like that!" She gasped, tears in her eyes. "I have my duty as a member of one of the founding family and we can get Colt back!"

"By obtaining the miraculous of the heroes and using the wish?!" He roared, making her gasp. "I will not do that!"

"No! Of course not!" She gasped, making him glare at her. "But if you were to join us-"

"Never!"

"Felix, please just listen!" She gasped, making him look at her. "I know you have your issues but we are so close-"

"You're insane!"

"Felix, the mage is back!" She declared, grabbing his hands as he stared at her in shock. "The Celescial guardian Su Han confirmed it. We're searching for him but me and you could team up together with Gabriel and use the rest to find him then we can have him bring back Colt and Emile. We'll be a family again!"

"Amelie! Listen to yourself!" He gasped, pulling away from her. "No one can bring back the dead not even Feng or his reincarnations! Colt is gone and we both know Emile was to blame! Why on earth would you want to bring her back?!"

"She's my sister!"

"She's a leech who constantly tried to outshine you!" He shouted before grabbing her shoulders. "Amelie, listen to me. This is not going to bring you happiness. Gabriel is not going to help you. The moment you lose any use to him, he will drop you like a ton of bricks,"

"Felix, this could be our only chance to bring back our family!"

"Amelie, they are dead!" He declared, making her look at him with horror as he pinched her nose. "Yes, I miss my brother dearly but he is dead. I grieved and I had to move on. You need to move on as well. It is not healthy for you or your son!"

"I am doing this for my son!" She screamed. "I thought you would understand but you're still as cold as ever!"

"I do understand!" He shouted back. "I understand that you are thinking about yourself and only yourself so don't you dare pretend that it's for Felix when it's clearly not!"

"How dare you?!" She screamed. "I am his mother!"

"Then act like it!" He shouted back, shocking her. "Instead of running off and galvanting with a crazed cult, maybe try been there for your son! Did you know he has made so much progress in school? Full A grades and that he has taken up fencing! You haven't even asked how he is for crying out loud!"

Amelie glanced to the side but didn't even mention Felix Jr.

"Amelie, you are missing out on Felix's life," He stated, pinching his nose. "You are missing out on him growing up and one day, it will be too late. He won't want anything to do with you,"

"I am doing this for him!" She declared again. "So he can have his father and aunt back! So we can be a family again. If that means that I have to be a little distance for a while then so be it! Besides, he has you! I leave him in your care!"

With that, she turned on her heel  not willing to listen to Felix Sr's points any father before she stopped.

"We may be enemies now, brother in law but I trust my son in your care so you so much as harm him-"

"I would never think to harm him," He replied back. "I'm not Gabriel after all,"

She huffed and left the house, making him sigh and shake his head. He walked over to the table and began to clear away the tea set. He picked up Amelie's cup and glanced at the tea leaves inside it. Toward the edge where she had been drinking, the tea leaves had formed the shape of a knife, making him frown.

"Oh, my dear sister in law," He muttered, looking at the other symbols in the tea cup. A fox glared up at him and an hour glass settled between them. "Whatever you're doing, it is not going to benefit you at all,"

~A Couple of Days later at the Liberty~

"Ah I'm so excited!" Snapp gasped, zooming around as Luka watched in amusement. The little crocodile kwami had been extremely quiet at first but once he had settled in, Snapp went from shy to full on hyperactive. Luka didn't blame him though. He had been forced to be submissive for so long. "I haven't been allowed out like this ever before! You're a great master! Ooh!! What's this?!"

"That is my guitar," Luka replied as Snapp checked out his reflection in the metal plate. "And I'm not your master. I'm your friend,"

"Shiny!!" He grinned before zooming back up to Luka. "My friend?! Yay! I haven't had a friend in years! Oh can you be my holder?! We'd make such a good team!"

"Sadly, I can't," Luka replied, making the little crocodile pout. "I'm already a holder of a miraculous but I promise that if I need your help, I'll get you a holder who will respect you,"

"Aww!! You're the best!" Snapp grinned before it occurred to him what Luka had said. "Wait you said you're already a holder?! How come I didn't notice? And which one is it?!"

"The Ladybug," Luka grinned as Tikki came out from his hoodie pocket, making Snapp squeal in delight and scream her name. "And probably because you were getting use to been here,"

"Ah!! I'm so happy!!" Snapp declared, spinning her around as he turned his attention back to Luka. "I can't believe that I got to see Tikki again!! Thank you!!"

"You're welcome," Luka replied as his phone vibrated. "Ah, I do have to go to school. Can I trust you to stay here and not misbehave?"

"Can I come with you please?!" Snapp begged with big eyes. Both Luka and Tikki looked unsure. "Pretty please? I'll be super good and won't make a peep,"

"It's not that, Snapp," Tikki replied, frowning. "Luka would have to wear both miraculous so you could fly around like he is now but it will tire him out,"

"Oh," Snapp replied, frowning a little before looking up at Luka. "I'm sorry I didn't think of that,"

"That's ok, Snapp," He replied, gently picking up the kwami in his hands before looking at Tikki. "And I really don't feel that tired,"

"Maybe not now but if you have to transform, it could occur then," She pointed out, making him frown a little. "But maybe you could allow him to stay outside the miraculous. You might not be the Celestial guardian yet but you are Feng's most recent incarnation after all. That's gotta count for something,"

"Tikki, you mean he's...?" Snapp asked, getting a nod before looking at Luka and bowing. "I'm sorry! I didn't realize you were Master Feng's recent life! If I had known, I would have been more respectful,"

"Hey, none of that," Luka replied, making Snapp look at him. "I might be the most recent incarnation but I'm your friend first and foremost ok? So we don't need that respect stuff. Just be yourself ok?"

"O-ok," Snapp replied, blinking before Luka touched his miraculous and closed his eyes. His aura glowed golden a little as he focused a little on the miraculous itself.

"I, Luka Couffaine, give Snapp the Kwami of Immerison permission to remain outside of his miraculous even without a holder or miracle box," He declared, causing the necklace and Snapp to glow golden as well before it faded away. "Let's see if this worked. Snapp, I renounce your miraculous,"

Snapp closed his eyes as he took off the necklace but he didn't feel himself disappear. He opened his eyes and found that he was still inside Luka's room, causing him to zoom around happily.

"It worked!" He declared before hugging Luka's cheek. "Thank you!!"

"Now you can come with us without worrying about me getting tired," Luka smiled as Snapp squealed before he crossed his arms. "But I do have some rules I need you to follow ok?"

"Anything, mighty mage!"

"Luka's just fine," He replied, making Snapp nod. "Ok, first thing is you must stick with me and Tikki ok? No going off on your own and exploring. If you want to explore, let me know and Tikki can go with you. If you do decide to, please avoid cameras and anyone seeing you. Don't eat food that is left on the table no matter what and finally, if you get hungry, don't worry about eating. I always have cookies on me so you can help yourself to them and if you're not happy with those, I can get your favorite food. Sound good?"

"Yep!" Snapp replied, making Luka smile a little. "You're so amazing, Might- I mean Luka,"

"Well, I think you're amazing too," Luka smiled, causing the little kwami to giggle shyly. Snapp flew over to him and settled on his shoulder, making Luka smile.

"Ooh, you mentioned that if you need my help, you'll find me a holder!" He gasped excitedly. "Does this mean I will get a new holder? When?"

"Well, it depends on if and when I'll need your help.. though it might be worth not waiting for the situation to occur. Having allies ready to jump in could be beneficial," Luka replied as he grabbed his school bag. "I will look for someone to work with you but there's no rush right now. When you feel ready, we'll discuss what traits you want in a partner so we can find a good match,"

"Yay!!"

~Later that morning in Mrs Mendeleiev's class~

"Everyone, listen up!" Mrs Mendeleiev declared as she clapped her hands. Luka glanced up from his notepad as the rest of the class faced her. "On Monday next week, we will be partaking in a sports day with our sister school, Ermitage High. We will be-"

!!Brrzz??

"Going to the stadium," Mrs Mendeliev continued as Luka listened but the more she talked the harder it got to focus. Slowly, her voice turned to white noise and his mind began to pound. It was a similar feeling to when he got near the miraculous in New York or when he had visions. He gripped his head as it got worst before looking up to see Mrs Medeleiev staring at him. "Luka? Is something wrong?"

"I feel really light headed," He mumbled, making her frown but nod.

"Go to the nurse's office," She replied, making him nod and get his things. He headed to the door but she called his name, making him look at her. "The Truth is coming,"

"W-What?" He question but she frowned.

"I said I'll get Marc or Kagami to bring you the notes for the lesson," She replied, making him frown but nod again. He must have misheard her. He stumbled out of the room and down the corridor as his headache got increasing worst, along with the sound of the white noise. Tikki pressed her paw against his chest as he made it to the nurse's office and knocked on the door. She opened it and ushered him in. He explained the situation as best as he could, causing her to nod and let him lie down on the medical bed as she phoned the captain. He curled up and closed his eyes as he tried to relax but it was hard to when it feel like his skull was been pulled apart.

"Luka, your mom is on her way," The nurse informed, making him nod. "I've got some water for you and the Truth is coming,"

"W-what?" He asked, looking up at her as she held out a cup of water and pain killers. He took them and drunk the water. "What did you mean by that?"

"By what?" She asked, making him frown. Did he mishear her too? He must off. "Luka?"

"I-it's nothing," He mumbled, lying back down. He closed his eyes but he was certain that she had said the same thing as Mrs Mandeveil. The Truth is coming? What on earth did that mean? He rolled onto his side and glanced out of the window. Tikki pressed her paw to his chest and Snapp gently rested his head against his shoulder, making Luka feel a bit more relaxed. He'll try and get some answers from Feng soon. It had been a while since he had seen him. Not long after his mom came in and took him home, which he was grateful for. He didn't have the energy to face the rest of the school day. The head ache had really drained him off his energy. In fact, he just rested. Snapp and Tikki kept an eye on him as he slept as they were worried for him but nothing out of the ordariary happened. However, they hid when they heard the sound of footsteps coming towards his room. The person stopped outside his door before they knocked on it, waking him up.

"Come in," He mumbled sleepily as he rubbed his eyes. The door opened and Felix walked in. "Felix?"

"Kagami had fencing after school and Marc had to go straight open so I offered to bring any work to you," He replied, glancing around. "Quite the home,"

"Oh, yeah," Luka replied, stretching as he realized Felix hadn't really been on the boat properly before. "Bit different to what you're use to?"

"Certainly," He replied, glancing around. "Mother's home is... far from this but Uncle's home isn't far from this to be honest. Aunt Bridgette is a creative type and of course then there's uncle's crystals and books,"

"Crystals?" Luka asked, not expecting Felix Sr to be interested in them. He wondered if he knew their magical properties. 

"Oh yes," Felix nodded. "It's one of the many things Gabriel can't stand about Uncle Felix. He's a practitioner of Wicca and naturally Gabriel believes it to be devil worship. Of course, Uncle is not a devil worshipper. He's just in touch with the universe or at least that's what he says. I'm not sure if I believe any of it but each to their own,"

"The universe works in very mysterious ways," Luka replied before mumbling under his breathe. "I should know,"

"Hm?"

"Oh, nothing," He replied, shaking his head. "So what did I miss?"

"Not much," He replied, shrugging and sitting on the edge of the bed. "Lila lied again but that's nothing new. I really don't understand why she keeps doing it. Everyone in the school basically knows at this point,"

"Old habits die hard,"

"Hmm you do have a point there," Felix replied before clicking his fingers. "Ah yes. We have a sports day event thing with our sister school next Wednesday. All the classes will be attending and we''ll be racing and that. Personally I don't think it's a good idea with an terrorist that takes advantage of emotions around but hey, Anatis and Lady Noire will clear it up and save the day,"

"That sounds like sarcasm,"

"It was," Felix replied. "I feel sorry for Anatis and Lady Noire,"

"Oh?"

"Paris constantly relies on them to sort out their problems with Hawkmoth yet none of the government try to prevent him or offer things like therapy to the citizens to help relieve the pressure that Anatis and Lady Noire feel," He sighed, making Luka frown. He had never thought about it but maybe Felix had a point. It would have to be another thing to look into. He hissed slightly as he felt a pulse from his brain again, making Felix look over with concern. "Are you ok?"

"Head hurts," He mumbled, making Felix frown. "I'm ok but it's a side effect from been almost akumatized three times,"

"Ah," Felix replied, nodding. "Well, I'll leave you to rest then,"

"You don't have to," Luka replied, switching on his tv. "It's not as bad as it was,"

"I see," He replied, sitting down on the bed. "Could I ask a favor?"

"Sure,"

"Could you take notes for me in the morning?" Felix asked, making Luka look at him. "I have an appointment with my therapist,"

"Ah," Luka replied, nodding. "If I'm in, sure. If not, I'll ask Marc,"

"Thank you," Felix replied, getting up and looking at some of the things on Luka's desk. He picked up his amber amulet, raising an eyebrow. "Amber hm? Uncle says it's really good for protection against evil,"

"That's why I have it," Luka replied as Felix put it back. "Figured it might help with the akumas,"

"Does it?"

"Well, I've never been akumatized when wearing it," He replied, glancing at the TV. "Oh Aurora's on,"

"Ah, yes. I forgot she does TV," Felix replied, sitting down as Luka turned up the TV.

"Hi, everyone. Welcome to Kidz+," Aurora replied before she looked directly at the camera. However, Luka felt like that she was looking at him. "Today's show is Truth or Dare! The Truth is Coming!"

"W-What?" Luka gasped as the entire atmosphere of the room changed, almost getting darker.

"That's right, Luka," Aurora said, looking at him as she transformed into her akuma self. "Today's forecast is Truth and he's coming for you!"

Luka felt the blood in his veins, freeze as Stormy Weather grinned wickedly.

"The Truth will set you free, Luka," She declared, smirking evilly. "But not until he's finished with you,"

Luka stared in horror at the TV as she laughed manically before the program flickered and he saw a bright green eye looking at him before it flicked back as Felix shook him. He looked at him with a look of pure terror, causing him to worry.

"Luka, are you ok?" He asked, frowning. "You look like you just saw a ghost,"

"Y-You did hear or see any of that?" He asked, looking back at the TV. Aurora was smiling happily and in her human form. She had not been akumatized nor was there a green eyeball looking at him. In fact, the show she was hosting was about music. Nothing to do with dares or truths. 

"See what?"

"I... i think I haven't sleep enough," He gasped, running his fingers through his hair. "Sorry, Felix but i think I'm going to take a nap. I'm really tired,"

"Oh, that's fine," He replied, frowning slightly. "You will be ok right?"

"I'll be fine," Luka replied, making Felix nod. "Thank you for coming round,"

"It was no problem," Felix replied, getting up. "If you feel better, feel free to text me. I have no commitments this evening,"

"I'll see how I feel after my sleep," Luka replied, causing Felix to nod before he left. As soon as he did, Tikki and Snapp flew out. Luka looked over at them. "Can you keep an eye on me? I'm going to try and talk to Feng,"

"Ok," Tikki replied, causing Luka to nod and lie down. He closed his eyes and steadied his breathe until he felt the room around him change. He snapped open his eyes and sat up, looking around the hut but Feng wasn't there. He got up and walked into the main area.

"Feng?" He called out, looking around before looking at the door. Three of the locks were unlocked while two remained locked up. He walked over to the door. "Two more tests,"

"Indeed," Khnurn's voice echoed, causing him to turn around and raise an eyebrow. "Feng is kind of the busy right now and I sensed you here so i came to see if I could help,"

"Well... Did you ever experience anything weird when you were alive?"

"I am still alive,"

"Oh right," Luka replied, rubbing the back of his neck. "I forget that this time has no sense of time and that everyone here can co-exist despite been the same person,"

"Yes, I have those moments too," Khnurn replied, stretching. "As for your question, sometimes I get echoes,"

"Echoes?"

"Moments of the past and future that appears in the present," Khnurn replied. "Sometimes, they come as dreams. Other times, they happen during my waking hours. When I first had them, Feng explained that it's the echo of his own power. I am not naturally a prophet so I do not have visions on the same level as him nor can I control it like he can,"

"What is your power?"

"Mine? Did Feng not tell you?"

"Well, i know that you talk to Ra, your toad right?"

"Ra is my familiar but yes, I can talk to him," He replied, making Luka nod. "But my ability is much more then that. I can understand and speak any form of language. I can also allow anyone else to speak, read or understand any language too. This was why the others were about to understand you and your friends during your time visits and why you can understand me right now,"

"But you can't read any language yourself?"

"Well, it's hard to read when you can't see," Khnurn stated, making Luka frown deeply. "Yeah, I'm blind,"

"I'm sorry... I didn't realize," He replied, making Khnurn shrug. "Is that why you always have silver eyes? That's how we see the spirit world right?"

"Yeah, that's how the others see," He replied, making Luka nod. "As for me, it doesn't work on my eyes. Sure, I can sense the other side but I just use it so my eyes look normal. That way no one can actually tell that I'm blind. My enemies would try to use to their advantage if they knew,"

"I see," Luka replied, making Khnurn nod. "Can I ask how you lost your sight?"

"It's a long story," Khnurn replied, making Luka frown a little. "Stop pouting. I'll share it with you another time,"

"How did you know?"

"I'm an empath and I honed my other senses," He replied, impressing Luka. "Admittedly, it's not like how those comic books from your time make it out to be but it helps. Anyway, let's change the subject. What kind of echoes are you hearing or seeing?"

"People keeping on saying 'the Truth is coming'," Luka explained, causing Khnurn to frown as he listened. He explained how he even saw it on the TV. "Any suggestions?"

"Hmm, sounds like the echoes are from the future and that it's something huge but given that it's about truth, maybe telling a truth will change what is causing the echoes,"

"That could work," Luka stated before frowning. "But what truth should I tell? It's not like i can tell people I'm Anatis,"

"You could tell Mulan," Khnurn pointed out. "She's your ally right? Plus it would save a lot of trouble when you need the western box,"

"That's a good idea," Luka stated before raising an eyebrow. "How did you know about that?"

"Oh, it's not like I talk with Feng or Toutai at all," Khnurn replied, rolling his eyes but he had a grin on his face. Luka smiled as well, feeling a lot better then before. Maybe the 'echoes' were telling him to finally tell Dr Mila the truth. "Well, is there anything else I can help with?"

"Well, could you teach me how to tap into your magic since we're both here?"

"Hmm... sure,"

~Later that Evening~

Anatis jumped across the rooftops as he headed towards Dr Mila's home. He had sent her a message saying that he wanted to talk to her and she had answered pretty quickly so he headed there. He jumped down and used his yoyo to lower himself in front of the window, knocking on it. A few minutes later, Dr Mila opened the window and raised an eyebrow as she let him in. She probably did think it was out of character for him, even if he had messaged her first. He didn't just want to turn up unannounced.

"Are you ok?" She asked but he didn't answer. It wasn't that he wasn't ok. He just didn't know how to put his thoughts into words at that moment. He intended to tell her who he really is. Partly because it's a 'truth' as Khnurn put it but also because he believed it was time to tell her. She was his ally and she was one of the guardians. He wanted to show her that he trusted her. "Is there an akuma? I didn't see one on the app or the news,"

"There's no akuma," He replied, making her let out a sigh of relief. "But I did come here for a reason,"

"Oh?" She replied as they walked into her living room. "I assume it is something that I can help with,"

"Yes," He replied, making her nod. "I... I would like to tell you my identity,"

"Well, that- hold on, what did you just say?"

"I would like to tell you my identity," He repeated, causing her to stare at him. "We're allies right and you're one of the guardians of the miraculous so I think it's time you know,"

"Well then... I feel honored that you want to tell me," She replied, pulling the curtains. "There we go. In case, Hawkmoth or Su Han has spies around,"

"Thank you, Mulan," He replied, taking deep breathe before closing his eyes. "Tikki... spots off,"

The glow surrounded him, transforming him back into Luka. He caught Tikki in his hands before putting his hand in his pocket and taking out a cookie for her. Dr Mila gasped in shock as she stared at him but everything now made sense to her. It was so obvious that Luka and Anatis were the same person, even if Anatis was a little more confident. The mask did that though. She was always more confident with a miraculous.

"Um... are you going to say something?"

"Well, this makes a lot of sense," She replied, chuckling. Luka rose an eyebrow. "I was going to ask you to become the holder of the Jellyfish Miraculous on our next session since I believe you to have the potential to been a hero. Looks like I wasn't wrong, Boss,"

"You don't have to call me that," He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Beside, I've used quite a few miraculi now. Even managed to pull off the mouse miraculous for a bit,"

"Against Kwami Buster right?" She asked, making him nod before they both looked at the time. "It's getting late,"

"Yeah, I should head home," He replied as Tikki finished her cookie. "You ready, Tikki?"

She nodded and he used the transformation words, turning back into Anatis before opening the curtains. He climbed on the balcony and turned to Dr Mila with a relaxed smile.

"Anatis?" She asked, making him raise an eyebrow. "Thank you for sharing that with me. I'm glad you trust me,"

"Thank you for listening," He replied before saluting her. "Good night, Doc. Keep up the good work,"

With that, he dove off the balcony and swung off into the night, leaving Mila in both awe and fear. She knew the burdens that Luka carried were big ones but she never expected that he would also be carrying the burdens of being Anatis as well. She would have to try and offer better support for him but at least he seemed relieved to share his identity with her. With a heavy heart, she closed her window and pulled her curtains before going bed. Meanwhile, Anatis landed on the top of the Eiffel Tower and glanced around. Snapp flew out, causing him to look at the little kwami.

"Is everything ok, Master?"

"Just call me Annie in this form," He smiled, cupping his hands around him and holding him. "And I'm waiting for Bunnyx,"

"Why?"

"Because I told someone my identity," He frowned, glancing down. "Last time I did that, it..."

He went quiet, making Snapp frown.

"Well, it doesn't matter what happened but I just want to make sure it didn't cause any trouble," He replied, smiling weakly. A white glow appeared behind him and a slightly older Bunnyx stepped out, stretching. "You seem relaxed,"

"I am," She replied, grinning. "I'm just here to reassuring that telling Mila didn't affect the timeline or create anything bad. Life goes on as normal,"

"And the other thing?"

"Other thing?"

"The Truth is Coming thing," He replied, making her eyes widen a little. "It stopped whatever that was right?"

"Oh! That," She grinned, placing her hands on her head. "Well, as far as I know it stops,"

"But you're not certain?"

"Well, the future isn't exactly set in stone," She replied, shrugging. "I mean sure, certain things happen but the things around those things don't necessarily have to follow a certain path. Like the whole 'truth' been told could have easily been you telling someone like your mom or mini me your secret or even could be a different secret. Either way the outcome would be the same,"

"So it stops?"

"Yeah, it stops," 

"Why didn't you just say that then?" He asked, causing Bunnyx to grin like she knew something he didn't. Knowing her, she probably did. "Bunnyx?"

"Spoilers," She replied before taking out her umbrella. "Either way, you can sleep well tonight,"

"Well, that's something," He replied, making a thoughtful face. "You heading out?"

"Yup. Say hi to Lady Noir for me," She replied before swiping her umbrella before pointing it. "Burrow!"

A new burrow appeared before she turned to Anatis.

"See you later, boss," She declared before jumping into it. Anatis let out a sigh of relief as the burrow closed before turning to Snapp and patting his shoulder. Snapp flew out and sat on it, curling up as Anatis threw his yoyo and returned back to the Liberty. He jumped through his window and called off his transformation, catching Tikki. He gave her a cookie before he gently placed her in her little bed. Snapp floated over to his and curled up under the little blanket.

"Good night, you two," Luka smiled before getting into bed himself.

~Princes' Park Stadium, One Week Later~

"Alright, Ermitage High will be here in the next 15 minutes so I just want to go over something," Mr Damocles declared, causing everyone to stop what they were doing. Well, expect for Kim who was stretching but listening and Lila who was sat on the benches. She had somehow gotten out of joining with a sick note from her doctor. Both Luka and Marinette were sure she was faking and judging how her father is he probably paid a doctor to write a sick note for his little 'angel'. "This is meant to be fun and not a competition. Having said that, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Give it your best shoot,"

"Secondly," Mrs Mendeleiev started. "There are different types of games. Single contenders, pairs and teams will be a thing but you will find that in some games, the pairs and teams will be made up with one student from our school and one student from Ermitage High. We expect you to get on,"

"And finally, you are representing the school here so we all need to be on our best behavior," Miss Bustier declared before playing looking at her colleagues. "That includes you two,"

The students and teachers chuckled as the students and teachers of Ermitage High came in.

"Hello," Mr Damocles smiled, causing their head teacher to look at him with slight contempt.

"Mr Damocles," She smiled falsely before her eyes landed on Marinette's class. "I see you brought the akuma class,"

The students went quiet as a number of the Ermitage students giggled. Luka gripped his fist but Marinette placed her hand over his before clearing her throat.

"Yes, we're the akuma class," She declared, crossing her arms with an attitude that dared the head teacher to try something. "So what about it?"

"Aren't you ashamed of it?"

"Why should we be?" Kagami pointed out, making the teacher look at her. "The only reason why your students having been akumatized, Madam Devereaux, is because they're not in the vicinity of Hawkmoth. Personally, I found Dupont to be a much better place then your school. I don't actually have panic attacks because of home work these days,"

"Can confirm," Max replied, pushing up his glasses. "Hawkmoth seems to only target Paris where your school is just outside of Paris,"

"Now, this is meant to be a fun day," Miss Bustier declared, pressing her hands together. "Let's not be negative and give Hawkmoth a reason to akumatize any of us,"

"I agree," A familiar voice declared, causing everyone to look at the student who spoke. Luka looked surprised as Melodie stepped forward. "I've been akumatized and it's not nice but I also made friends that day so I would like to catch up with them and introduce them to my other friends,"

Melodie's friends happily agreed with her and the sports events began. Even the teachers raced, though the head mistress seemed to hate it. It didn't surprise Luka but he went up against a student called Terra in Martial Arts and won, causing Terra to congratulate him.  Though a strange kid from Terra's class seemed to stare at him and gave him an extremely creepy vibe. His song sent shivers up Luka's spine. It was so dark and evil that it made Lila's beauty. Luka decided it was best to avoid him, especially his arm burnt when the boy 'accidentally' knocked into him. He suspected he might have something to do with Simme but he couldn't be certain nor could he investigate. He also wondered why Simme would bother with such an area. Marinette attempted to join in but her clumsiness didn't really help. Luckily, she just found it fun more then anything. Soon, lunch time rolled around and the students found somewhere to sit and have lunch. Luka, Marinette, Rose, Juleka, Nino, Alya, Ivan, Mylene, Marc and Nathaniel were all sat on the bleachers, discussing the morning's events while enjoying Marinette's cooking. Kagami and Adrien couldn't join them as they had been picked up by their families.

"I'm definitely more suited for the arts," Marc mumbled as Kim and Ondine walked over, followed by Felix. He had only just turned up due to having a therapy appointment in the morning. Luka wondered how Dr Mila was doing. They had discussed his identity in his last session after revealing his identity to her but they only had an hour and his next appointment was for another two days.

"Me too," Marinette groaned, leaning on him. "How are you so talented at everything, Lu? Like seriously you owned that boy!"

"Well, I have been doing Martial arts for a while now,"

"How long is a while?" Melodie asked as she walked over with her friends. Luka noticed one had a similar hair style to Marinette and the boy next to her had brown hair that swooped over his eyes. Next to Melody was Terra and two girls. "Anyway, mind if we join you?"

Everyone looked at Luka who shrugged.

"Sure," He replied, causing them to sit down before he smiled at her friends. "I'm Luka. This is my sister Juleka,"

"Hi..." Juleka muttered, blushing and shying away from Terra as he looked at her. 

"This is Rose and Ivan,"

"Hello!!"

"Hey,"

"Nino, Alya and Felix,"

"Sup, dudes,"

"Heya,"

"Good day,"

"Marc, Nathaniel and Mylene,"

"H-hi..."

"Hm? Oh hi!"

"Hey there,"

"And finally, my girlfriend Marinette," Luka grinned, making her blush.

"Hi, anyone want some macarons?" She asked, holding out a box.

"Nice to meet you all," Melodie replied, nodding. "I'm Melodie. This is Mercury,"

"Hey there!!"

"Sacqueline,"

"Hiya,"

"And these three are Terra, Skylar and Aqua,"

"Hey, it's nice to meet you,"

"Hey," Skylar replied as Aqua nodded. Luka noticed each one of them wore a toy on their side bags, making him raise an eyebrow slightly. Each seemed to be from a different military service so if he had to guess, he would say their family were probably in the military. Skylar had a jet on hers, Terra had a tank and Aqua had a submarine. It was pretty cool. The three of them as well as the others sat down and started to chat but Terra seemed to focus purely on Juleka, making her feel a little uncomfortable. It wasn't because he was talking to her but more that Juleka wasn't use to people paying her attention. Sure, she had been getting better but she was still shy. As the lunch came to an end, he asked her to the side, causing Luka to linger by. He didn't seem like a bad kid but he still wanted to keep an eye on him.

"So, Juleka... I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me?" He asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Um..." She mumbled something, making him frown as he didn't hear her. "I s-said sorry but I have a girlfriend,"

"G-Girlfriend?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm with Rose,"

"Oh, wow... that's... that's awesome," He smiled, trying to hide his disappointment but Luka could hear it. He was very disappointed. "Well, hopefully we can be friends?"

"S-Sure I suppose," She mumbled as Rose called her over to team up. "Gotta go,"

"Y-Yeah," He replied, waving as she left before letting out a sigh as his sisters came over. "She said no,"

"I'm sorry," Aqua mumbled in a quiet voice while Skylar sat down next to him.

"Hey, you're way out of her league anyway,"

"Sky, don't say that," Terra scolded before sighing. "She has a girlfriend. Besides, she said we can be friends,"

"So she friend-zoned you?"

"You're not helping!"

~Hawkmoth's Lair~

"Ah, unrequited love. Always such a hard thing to deal with, especially when so young," Hawkmoth sighed dramatically before smirking evilly. "Perfect bait for my akuma!"

He held out his hand and one of his white butterflies landed on it. He covered it with his hand and charged it up, turning it into an akuma before letting it fly up.

"Fly away my little akuma," He declared as it reached the window. "And evilize this broken heart!"

The akuma fluttered out of the window and flew towards the triplets but before it could land on Terra, he took a deep breathe and stood up with a smile.

"I shouldn't let myself get down," He declared, causing Skylar to roll her eyes and Aqua to give him a thumbs. "While Juleka is pretty, she is taken and as a gentleman, I should respect that and I still get to be her friend,"

The akuma fluttered nearby, confused by the lack of negative emotion. Zoe, who was sat away from everyone else and saw the triplets talking, looked up and noticed the akuma, causing her to gasp. Simme was sat next to her, under the disguise of a student from Ermitage High. Zoe had helped him join the school, especially for this event. As a a spirit, he had the ability to disguise himself as a mortal. In the belly of feast, he made himself look like a monk and now he looked like a student. He had based his look of one of the american students Zoe had told him about so no one suspected a thing. As for been in the school, he had the power to manipulate people so it wasn't hard to make them believe he had always been there. He looked up and smirked evilly before turning to her.

"Finally, something interesting," He declared, turning into his spirit form. He had been bored all day. None of his attempts to make chaos happened as they kept getting shot down by the teachers of Dupont High. "Cover me,"

"Sim..." Zoe trailed off as he slithered over and watched the triplets. His eyes moved to the akuma, still fluttering nearby. Hawkmoth had ordered it to hang around. Well, if the price for Chaos was helping that idiot, he'd do it. He looked back at the triplets. Terra was smiling but despite his cheerful demeanor, there was a small slither of pain. Not enough for Hawkmoth's akumas but enough for Simme to slip in and whisper. He moved over as his sisters began to walk ahead. Terra went to walk ahead but as Simme moved over to him, he stopped as if lost in thought.

You're not good enough... that's why she rejected you...

"Terra? Come- hey, you ok?" 

That's why you're always rejected... who could ever love a loser like you?

"I'm... not good enough, am I?"

"Whoa, what brought this on?" Skylar asked, surprised. He was fine a moment ago. "Look, sure Juleka rejected you but she prefers girls so don't sweat it. It's not because you're not good enough. You just need to find the right one. Besides, we're young and got the rest of our lives ahead of us,"

Yet you'll end up alone and unloved. You'll never find love. You're nothing!

"I'm nothing," He declared, causing Simme to smirk before touching his arm. His eyes turned black before he shoved Skylar, knocking her to the ground. "Why are you always encouraging me to talk to girls when you know they're going to reject me?! Do you think it's funny?!"

"Terra! Stop it!" Skylar declared, confused. Her brother had never acted out like this before. Simme smirked before moving over to her. Why stop with just one?

He thinks you're weak. He thinks you're pathetic. He thinks you need to be protected. All because you're a girl.

"Terra!" She declared, jumping up as Simme touched her arm. Her eyes turned black as well before she growled. Aqua tried to get them to stop as Simme giggled. It didn't take a lot to push her o. "You wanna fight huh? I'll kick your ass!"

"You just want to build me up only to tear me down!"

"Guys, please!" Aqua gasped as the two shouted over her. Simme moved over to her and leaned closer to her.

They're not going to listen...

Aqua froze as the words echoed in her mind.

You're nothing but the little sister who everyone ignores. No one cares about you. No one loves you. No one notices you.

Tears fill her eyes as he used his words to open up old wounds.

You might as well be invisible.

"I'm..." She gasped as he touched her arm, turning her eyes black as well. "I'm nothing! Why do you always ignore me?!"

Simme chuckled as the triplets shouted and argued before appearing back next to Zoe to watch the show. The akuma, picking up on all of the negative emotions, fluttered over to them and landed in Terra's tank but the connection opened to the three of them, causing them all to grit their teeth angrily as Hawkmoth accepted the connection.

"Feeling heartbroken? Feeling weak? Feeling ignored?" He asked, smirking. "Well, my triplets of terror, none of you will have to feel such feelings ever again. I will give you the power to be strong, to be loved and to be noticed. In return all I ask in return is Anatis and Lady Noir's miraculous. Do we have a deal?"

"We'll make everyone see us!" The triplets declared as a purple smog covered them. Their toys grew in size and turned into real life vehicles. 

"I'll make her love me!" Tank declared, driving off.

"No one will bet me!" Jet declared before flying off.

"I'll make sure everyone sees me!" Submarine declared, dissolving into water.

"Let the show begin," Simme declared, making Zoe look on with horror as the triplets of Terror began to attack the other students.

~The Main Arena of Princes' Park Stadium~

"Ok! Everyone, we're going to begin-"

"JULEKA!" Tank's voice echoed as he drove through the walls of the stadium. Juleka looked over alarmed and jumped up as he began to fire at the students and teachers, capturing them in mud from the shells he fired. The thing was the mud literally covered them, causing them to be trapped inside. Luka frowned as he ran from the scene. Juleka and Rose were running after him, along with Marinette but Tank was firing repeatedly, not caring who he hit. Teachers, students, the staff who worked at the Stadium. He didn't care. There was no real pattern of what he was trying to do. It seemed that he was going after Juleka at first but then he didn't care who he was attacking. It made no sense and on top of that, his music was off. It was distorted and confusing. As he fired at them, Luka grabbed Juleka's and Rose's hand, pulling them away from the scene as Marinette followed but before they could run off, Jet flew over and began firing at everyone. Anyone hit with the bullets lost their gravity and began to float up. They tried desperately to cling onto anything and the students not hit tried to grab their hands. Jet aimed at Juleka but Rose pushed her out of the way and began to float up into the air. Juleka went to reach out for her but Submarine manifested and went to shot at her. Marinette pulled her back but Submarine ignored them and began to fire at the other students who were trying to help those floating away. Similar to the other two, those who were hit were affected but they literally dissolved into water.

"Split up and hide!" Luka ordered, causing Juleka to run in one direction and Marinette to run in the other as the triplets attacked anyone and everyone they could. He headed into the boys locker room, causing Tikki to fly out.

"Luka?" Tikki asked as he frowned. "Shouldn't we transform?"

"Their songs sound distorted. I thought it was just Tank but the other two's music are distorted too," He replied, frowning deeply before swiping his earrings. "Tikki! Spots on!"

He transformed into Anatis before climbing out of the window and swinging up to the top of the Stadium. Juleka had been cornered by Tank, Jet was chasing Kim who was managing to dodge her attacks and Submaine was no where to be seen. He frowned before swinging down and grabbing Juleka by the waist, pulling her away from Tank. He landed on the other side, running as Tank tried to fire at him before swinging off into the rooftops. Juleka clinged onto him as he did before he landed on the Eiffel tower. A few seconds later, Lady Noir jumped down with Kim in her arms.

"So we have an army tank to fight?" She asked, flickered her hair but Jet appeared and began firing at them. Anatis picked up Juleka and jumped down with her with Lady Noir closeby. Kim screamed as he held onto her. They landed on the ground but Tank fired at them, causing Anatis to hold Juleka with one arm and deflect the attacks with his yoyo. "Ok, we have more then just a tank,"

"A jet fighter as well," He replied, glancing around as his luck vision lit up a man hole cover. "Time to visit our second home,"

"Gotta ya!" She declared, running over to it and putting Kim down as Anatis covered them. Jet flew over and fired at them, causing her to use her baton to deflect her attacks. "Kim, open that please!"

"Sure," He replied, opening it and heading inside but as soon as he did, he was hit by Submarine. He screamed as he burst into water before Submaine appeared outside of the manhole. 

"Give us your miraculous!" The three of them declared, causing Anatis and Lady Noir to move protectively around Juleka. 

"On the count of three, get into the manhole and run," Anatis declared, getting a nod of both girls as him and Lady Noir deflected the attacks. "One..."

"Two..." Lady Noir declared before the two of them both shouted three. They jumped down and pulled Juleka with them, running as soon as their feet touched the ground. Submaine manfested behind them and fired at them as they ran as quickly as they could, dodging the attacks but they came to a dead end. Lady Noir held up her hand to use her Cataclysm but Tank appeared and fired at her. However before it hit her or any of them, the ground below them opened it as it glowed white, causing them to fall into a burrow. It closed behind them, causing the three of them to look up. 

"Oh this is a burrow?" Juleka asked, glancing around. 

"Quite right, young squire," The familiar voice of Sir Rene echoed, causing Anatis look up. He was in his rabbit form before he help them to their feet. "Fluff, counter clockwise,"

He detransformed and caught her as his pocket watch turned into a mini sun dial. Anatis couldn't help but note that it made sense since in his time, pocket watches had yet to be invented. Rene smiled at him as he gave Fluff a carrot, causing her to grin and begin to eat it.

"I hope you don't mind my interference. Sadly, you were about to lose,"

"I don't mind but I thought Bunny would be the one to sort it,"

"Miss Doe is in fact out of the burrow right now," Rene replied, walking over to the screen which she was in. "Visiting an old friend but those are spoilers. Luckily for you, I just happened to be looking into the corruption of Mordred and happened upon the future where you lost. Not a pleasant one I assure you,"

"That will be Annie's luck helping out," Lady Noir grinned, gently prodding Anatis with her arm. 

"Well, I'm grateful for both my luck and my friends," Anatis smiled before frowning. "But no where was safe for us. Tank had the ground, Jet rules the sky and Submarine could roam the sewers due to the water there. They had us surrounded like an army would. We need to work out why they got akumatized,"

"Well, I can help with that," Rene replied, turning to one of the screens. He re-winded to the moment they got akumatized and played out the screen, making Anatis frown. Especially as their eyes turned black. "I think that explains a lot,"

"Simme," Anatis muttered, frowning. "Yeah, that explains a lot,"

"Great," Lady Noir sighed as Juleka cleared her throat. The three of them looked over at her.

"Who is Simme?"

"He's an evil spirit that can corrupt people and cause negative emotions," Anatis replied, frowning. "That explains why their..."

He glanced at Juleka.

"Emotions felt off," He was going to stay their music but that would reveal to Juleka that he was Luka. If she worked that out, she might tell Marinette and then Lady Blanche might come back into existence. He shook his head and sighed. That was a can of worms that he didn't want to deal with. "He must of played on their insecurities which draw the akuma in. That complicates things,"

"Does it?" Rene asked, making Anatis look over at him with a raised eyebrow. "Well, yes. He corrupted them but he also used their insecurities to do so. Now if I do this,"

He re-winded the scene.

"And click on this," Rene replied, clicking something that made sound come through the screen. "Ta da! Sound! We can listen in on what happened,"

"Good work," Anatis smiled as Rene played the scene again. This time with the audio. The four of them listened as each triplet fell to Simme's influence but it did reveal a lot for them. Terra felt like he didn't deserve love, Skylar felt like she was weak and needed to be protected and Aqua felt like she was constantly ignored. In their own way, they all wanted attention and acknowledgement. "Well, no we know what they want but we still need to work out how to defeat them plus we're gonna need to purge Simme's influence from them... the sooner I work out how to activate that Phoenix form the better,"

"Phoenix form?" Juleka asked but Anatis shook his head.

"It's a long story," He replied before taking out his yoyo and throwing it up in their air. "Lucky charm!"

His outfit transformed into his upgraded suit as the magical bugs summoned an item. He caught it as it fell down, making him raise an eyebrow as he looked at it. It was a chess piece. The Queen to be exact.

"How is that going to help you defeat them?" Juleka asked, looking at it.

"It's not," He replied, recongizing it. "It's a hint and I know exactly what it means. Sir Rene, could you open a burrow in Mulan's loction?"

"Of course," Rene replied, turning to Fluff who had finished her carrot. "Ready?"

"Aye, aye captain!" She declared before frowning. "Wait but you're a knight? What is yes in knight lanuage?"

"A simple yes will do," He replied, holding out his mini sun dial. "Fluff! Clockwise!"

He transformed into his rabbit form before holding out his umbrella.

"Burrow," He declared, causing a burrow to open where Dr Mila was. "Here we are, young squires. May victory be yours,"

"Thank you, Sir Rene," Anatis replied before stepping out with Lady Noir and Juleka, who looked around in surprise. Dr Mila and Master Fu were both staring in slight surprise, their game of chess interrupted but not at Anatis. He looked behind them and saw they were staring at Sir Rene, who waved at them. Master Fu jumped and bowed to him.

"Celestial Guardian Rene," He gasped, making him chuckle. 

"No need to be so formal," He replied, grinning. "I'm simply dropping off my good friends here. Anatis, I'll keep an eye on your battle from here and will bring you back in here if you need it,"

"Thank you, Sir Rene,"

"Again, no need to be so formal," He chuckled before waving and closing the burrow. 

"Sir Rene is so cool," Juleka muttered, making Anatis smile before he turned to the two masters.

"I apolize for the sudden entrance but the lucky charm led me here," He replied, holding up the chess piece summoned by the lucky charm. 

"The akumas?" Mila asked, getting up along with Fu.  Anatis' miraculous beeped, causing both of them to look at him. Time seemed to be different in the burrow to out here. "Let's talk in the other room,"

"Lady Noir, would you mind keeping Juleka company?"

"Not at all," She grinned as Juleka glanced around. Anatis followed the two masters into a separate room. In the corner was Fu's phonograph and next to it was the  Western box.

"The kwamis are playing with each other," Mila replied as Fu unlocked the phonograph. "We figured it would be to be together as you might need a miraculous from either box,"

"That seemed wise," Anatis replied as his miraculous beeped again. "Is this your new home, Master?"

"It is indeed," He replied, nodding. "You have my address yes?"

"I think so but we'll sort that out after the akumas have been defeated," He replied as his transformation finally fell, turning him back into Luka. He caught Tikki and gave her a cookie, making her grin and begin to eat it. Master Fu rose an eyebrow as Dr Mila didn't blink at his identity. "Oh, I told her a week ago,"

"I'm glad you were able to trust her," Fu smiled before placing the miracle box in front of Luka as he knelt down. Dr Mila placed hers next to it, opening it as Fu opened his "Luka Couffaine, you must pick an ally to fight along side you with this mission but choose carefully. Such powers are meant to serve the greater good and once the mission is over, you will return the miraculous to us,"

"The trio of terror's akuma is in the Tank but getting close to them is the trouble. I can't be certain that just destroying Tank's tank will be enough plus his sisters will make it hard to get to him. We need to get them all together," He muttered, glancing at the selection of miraculous before him. "So we're going to need distractions..."

The fox miraculous lit up in his vision, along with the Wyvern, the Penguin and the Skunk miraculous from the Western Box, forming a plan in his mind. He grabbed the fox before grabbing the other three.

"I already have the fox with me right now but I need to know who these belong to, Dr Mila," He replied, gesturing to the others. She looked at Fu who nodded.

"I gave the Skunk to Ondine Soares," She explained, causing Luka to nod. "The Wyvern miraculous was given to two of my students Renee and Elise. Renee Marcel and Elise Chevrolet. I'll text you their address but I'm not sure if Elise is in Paris at this moment in time. She sometimes stays with her aunt,"

"I'll work it out," He muttered, nodding to himself as he got up and placed the western miraculous into their little boxes. "Ok, I have the start of a plan but I'm gonna need to find these three. Tikki, are you ready to transform?"

"Yes," She nodded, wiping the crumbs from her mouth. Luka smiled before swiping his earrings.

"Tikki, spots on!" He declared, causing her to get stuck into the earrings before turning into Anatis. He picked up the boxes from the western box and put them into his yoyo before picking up the fox. He kept hold it and walked out of the room, causing the two masters to follow him. Lady Noir was sat with Juleka, showing her something on her baton. 

"This is my favorite picture of us," She grinned, causing Juleka to chuckle.

"Are you showing her the selfies we took?" Anatis asked, making the two girls to look up. Lady Noir grinned cheekily before closing the baton. 

"We were a little bored," She replied, placing her hands behind her head. "Got what you need?"

"Yes," He replied, glancing to Juleka. "We have four heroes to pick up... Are you ok if we tell her?"

"Y-Yes," Juleka mumbled, making Lady Noir raise an eyebrow. "I'm Culpeo..."

Lady Noir blinked before grinning.

"Well, I'm glad you trust me with that information, Culpeo!" She grinned, making Juleka grin back. Anatis gently chuckled before walking over.

"Here," He stated, holding out the fox miraculous. "We're going to need Culpeo's help,"

She nodded and put it on, causing Trixx to manifest.

"Sup, Jules," He grinned, making her grin back. "Ready to rock the world?"

"You know it," She replied, a little louder then usual. Anatis couldn't help but smile. Each time he gave her the miraculous, she got a little more confident. "Trixx, Let's pouch,"

She transformed into Culpeo before turning to Anatis.

"What's the plan?"

"Well, I have three more heroes to pick up," He replied, checking his yoyo. "Hmm, looks like our trio of terror is terrorizing the people at the Louve museum... why do akumas always seem to go for that or the Eiffel tower?"

"They have issues," Culpeo replied, making both Anatis and Lady Noir chuckle. "Do you want me to keep an eye on the akumas?"

"Yes please but keep your distance and do not engage. They're like Crescendo,"

"Crap," Culpeo replied as the color drained from her face. "Are they just as... you know?"

"They seem to not care about who they hurt but unlike the others who have fallen to his influence, they haven't actually tried to really kill anyone but that doesn't mean they won't," He replied before pressing his yoyo and taking out a yellow colored macaron. "Here take this. It will give you a stealth suit. All you have to do is eat and say power up,"

"Right," Culpeo nodded, taking the cookie and eating it. "Power up,"

A glow covered her body, turning her outfit into a darker verison of her usual look. Her hair was completely black and her ears were slightly smaller. Her shorts, gloves and shirt were darker orange and had a  camflage design. Her tights had turned dark gray instead of orange and her tails were darker looking too. Similarly to her shirt, they had a camflage design but the gray parts had turned black. Her mask had also gained a camflage design but over all was the same design. Her flute was also smaller in design, attatching to her belt instead of going on her back.

"Sweet," She mumbled, looking at her hands.

"Your suit will change it's look according to your surroundings so you can blend into your environment," Anatis explained, making her raise an eyebrow. "This will allow you to observe the akuma without been noticed. To turn back into your normal form, just say 'Crouch Down',"

"Ok," She nodded before going to the window. As soon as she stepped into the light, her suit changed into a white verison, blending her into the light. Even her hair turned white. "Sick,"

"Be careful," He replied, getting a nod of her. She climbed out of the window and jumped up onto the roof, causing her suit to change again to blend better. With Culpeo spying on the akumas, he turned to Lady Noir and took out the skunk miraculous. He handed it to her, making her nod. "This belongs to Ondine Soares. Can you go collect her?"

"Of course," She replied, taking it and putting it in her pocket as her baton vibrated. She opened it and read the message before nodding. "Got it,"

"I've also sent her a message to let her know you're going to be heading there," Mulan replied, making her nod as well. "I've done the same with the other two as well... oh, Elise texted back.. she said she knows,"

"Ok, thank you," Lady Noir replied before she turned back to Anatis. "Meet near the Louvre?"

"Yes," Anatis replied, causing Lady Noir to nod. "Be careful, kitten,"

"You too, Annie," She climbed out of the window and headed into the city to find her. Anatis turned to Fu and Mulan and gave them a nod before he climbed out of the window and swung down into the city. However, he also kept low instead of going on the rooftops. He couldn't risk Jet seeing him but he had to keep out of the sewers too. He headed to Renee's address and landed on the balcony, knocking on the window. A few seconds later, it was opened by Renee. She didn't look surprised at all. He suppose she wouldn't be since Mulan texted her.

"Hey, Dr Mila let me know you were on your way but Elise told me to come to this room,"

"Ok?" He asked a little confused. Elise already knew he needed help and which room Renee should go to. Odd. He shook his head, deciding not to question it before taking out his yoyo and reaching into it. He took out the box and held it out to her. "I need Dame's help,"

"Sure," She grinned, taking it and opening it. A green ball of light appeared and moved around before turning into Vernn. "Hey Vernn,"

"Hello there, young squire!" He called cheerfully before turning to Anatis. "Master Anatis, it is good to see you again!"

"I imagine it's been a while for you,"

"A good few centuries,"

"Huh?" Renee rose an eyebrow in confusion before shaking her head. "I'm not going to ask. Vernn, ready to transform?"

"Always ready, young squire!"

"Vernn, Protect!" She declared, transforming into Dame. "Ok, let's go,"

"Before we go, I need to collect Elise as well," He replied, making her look at him. "Is she at home?"

"No, she's staying with her aunt this week... outside of Paris," She replied, making him frown. Having the Penguin's power would be useful and he didn't have time to chose a new holder. He also couldn't merge his miraculous with it. Not in this battle plus something told him that it was far too dangerous to merge miraculous from different boxes. More so then from the same ones. However before he could even word these thoughts, a burrow appeared next to him, making him smile."What is that?"

"A burrow," He replied, smiling as Elise stepped out. She looked around surprised and he noticed she was in her PJs. "Oh, that's how she knew,"

"Know what?" Both Elise and Dame asked, confused before Dame's sword vibrated. She checked it and the confusion melted from her face.

"Oh! I get it," She replied. "Present day Elise is still at her aunt. The Elise in front of us is from a couple of nights ago,"

"The nice knight said there was an akuma and that you needed my help," Elise replied, making Anatis nod and take out her miraculous. The penguin kwami, Penni, manifested and excitedly raced around everyone before stopping in front of Anatis. She blinked as she looked at him before squealing excitedly.

"Sorry, Anatis," Elise gasped, rubbing the back of her neck. "Penni loves meeting new people,"

"Hi! I'm Penni!! She gasped, fluttering into front of his face. "You're Tikki's holder, aren't you?! It's so nice to see a new Ladybug holder!"

"Thank you, Penni," He smiled, making her giggle. "I'm very happy to meet you but could I ask for your help please? There's a very difficult akuma to defeat and I need a helping hand. Could you help me out?"

"Oh!! So polite!" She gasped, flapping her fins excitedly. "Yes, yes! Elise, let's transform!"

"Ok, Penni," Elise replied, holding up her arms. "Penni, Dive Down!"

Penni got sucked into the miraculous, allowing Elise to transform into Snowbird.

"Ok, let's go," Anatis declared, causing the two nod and follow him when he swung off. As they headed to the meeting area, he explained the situation including that Simme had influenced them. The two listened to him as he explained before landing on the rooftop. Lady Noir and Aroma were already there but Anatis couldn't see Culpeo yet. He glanced around before noticing a slight distort by the left side. "Everyone here then?"

"Yep," Culpeo replied, making the three other heroes jump a little. "Crouch down,"

A glow appeared, causing her to reappear in her normal outfit.

"What did you learn, Culpeo?"

"Not much," She replied, making him frown. "Tank is planning a romantic dinner here for Juleka Couffaine. He seems to be obsessed with her. Jet has been firing at anyone and anything. Hence the tables and other objects in the sky and Submarine has yet to make an appearance. Even when Lady Noir came here, they didn't seem to care,"

"So they're not listening to Hawkmoth?"

"I don't think that's the case," She replied. "They seem to be more bothered about their own goals but intend to give him your miraculous once they've 'proved' their worth,"

"Prove their worth?" Anatis replied, thinking before remembering Sir Rene's advice. "I have more of a plan now but I think to fully form it, I'm gonna need some luck. Culpeo, can you create a mirage to distract them?"

"Huh?" Aroma gasped, confused.

"When I call out my power, it's going to get their attention," He replied, making Dame and the other two look at him.

"Which is where my power comes in. I'll provide an illusion which will distract them," Culpeo explained, taking out her flute and playing it. An orange ball appeared at the end of it and she threw it towards their direction. "Mirage!"

An illusion of herself, Anatis and Lady Noir appeared, jumping over the rooftops. Instantly, Jet appeared, shooting at them and Tank got back in his tank, driving after them. Even Submarine appeared, chasing them as they teleported across the rooftops. As soon as they were out of view, Anatis threw up his yoyo.

"Lucky charm!" He called out, causing the magic swarm to appear and create an item as his outfit turned into his upgraded one. He caught it and rose an eyebrow. "A finish line?"

"What are you going to do with that?"

"I'm not sure yet," He replied, glancing around. "Let's head towards the Eiffel Tower,"

The six of them headed in that direction before landing on the Eiffel tower. Anatis looked around before the Trocadéro Gardens lit up then Culpeo and Lady Noir. Next, his own yoyo and the finish line lit up then Aroma and Snowbird before finally lighting up Dame.

"I've got a plan," He declared, causing the five girls look at him as he opened his yoyo and took out two more power up cookies. "Culpeo, pick one. Sky, sea or earth?"

"Um... sea?" She asked, causing him to hand her a green maracron.

"Oh can I pick Sky?!" Lady Noir declared, realising where he was going with this. 

"Then I'll get ground," He replied, making the others blink. "Our friends are looking for validation right? Well, winning means they're the best so we're going to race them,"

"How is that going to help?" Aroma asked, making Anatis grin as Culpeo's miraculous beeped. He turned to her and gave her a normal cookie, making her take it and hide behind a beam. 

"Can you still hear me, Culpeo?"

"Yeah..."

"Good," He replied. "So the race isn't the only part of the plan. We're going to use it to lure them to the Trocadéro Gardens, where you and Snowbird are going to ambush them. That should distract them and then Lady Noir can destroy Tank's tank,"

"And where do I come in?" Dame asked, making Anatis look at her.

"After I've captured the akuma, cast Empower," He declared. "I'm going to need it to amplify my natural ability to break Simme's influence on them as there's three of them,"

"I see," She replied, nodding as an orange light appeared from behind the beam Culpeo was. "Um does that mean her mirage is over?"

"Yes but I lead them to the other side of Paris," Culpeo declared.

"That's fine," Anatis replied, handing Aroma the finish line. "Set up a finish line over there,"

He pointed to two lamp posts in the Trocadéro Gardens. She took it and nodded as another glow appeared from behind the beam. Culpeo stepped out.

"When the three of us cross the line, attack the trio of terror with your abilities,"

"How are you sure you'll win?"

"I don't know if we will," He replied, surprising them. "But that doesn't matter. The goal is to get them here and get them distracted,"

"Oh, I see," Snowbird nodded as Aroma nodded as well.

"Alright, let's go challenge the trio of terror," Anatis declared, causing the girls to nod and head out into the city with him. Aroma, Dame and Snowbird jumped down and set up the finishline before finding places to hide and get ready to ambush the akumas.

~Meanwhile~

Anatis landed on a building near the Seine and glanced around. Lady Noir had transformed into Lady Cosmos and Culpeo had turned into her Aqua Form, Fennecée. He noticed Tank on the ground, clearly looking for him. He took out his yoyo and reached in, taking out a pink macaron, placing it in his mouth and eating it.

"Power up," He muttered after he finished it. A glow to appeared over his outfit and changing it, allowing him to turn into Alacris. His outfit began more like a professional skater's outfit, giving him elbow pads and knee pads but they were built in the suit. Not just that but the suit felt much lighter and the material seemed different, like it was designed to go faster. The design had changed as well. He still had the black panels on his sides but they changed directions on the legs, going diagonal. His boots came just below his knees and were also roller blades. They had straps that go up the boot as well. His gloves were fingerless but they also had padding on them to protect his wrists. These ones were on the outside and had a ladybug pattern on them. He also had shoulder padding and his mask had turned into speed goggles. He had a ear piece attatched to his ear as well. Unsure what it did, he pressed it, creating a helmet for him. "Nice,"

He stood up and whistled, getting Tank's attention. He went to fire at him but Alacris held up his hand.

"I have a proposal for you," He declared, causing Tank to stop attacking. " I challenge you to a race. From here to the Trocadéro Gardens. If I win, you give up your akuma,"

"And if I win?"

"I give you miraculous,"

"Deal,"

"Great!" He declared, jumping down and skating off with incredible speed. Tank speed ahead, catching up with him but Alacris looked behind him and smirked. "Catch me if you can!"

He sped off, causing Tank to growl and race after him as Jet raced after Lady Cosmos and Submarine raced after Fennecée. The heroes managed to keep a head of them, heading towards the Trocadéro Gardens as fast as they could. Fennecée jumped out of the water as she got closer, causing Lady Cosmos to catch her and fly her towards the finish line. Submarine teleported and fired at them, causing Lady Cosmos to spin and dodge it before Alacris speed past Submarine, knocking her back with his speed. Tank rushed after him as Jet dashed after the other two but the moment the three heroes crossed the finish line, Aroma threw her smoke bombs at Jet and Snowbird turned the floor slippery, causing Tank to slide. Submarine teleported and went to fire at them but Fennecée played her flute and threw a mirage at her, causing Submarine to think her vehicle was damaged. 

"Sisters! Form together!" Tank called out, causing Jet and Submarine to go back over to him and crash into him. A bright light explored, causing the heroes to cover their eyes as it formed a new shape. Once it disappeared, a huge mech-suit was in the place of the three vehicles. It was roughly the same size as the Eiffel tower and the heroes could see the triplets in the head of the machine. It fired towards the heroes, hitting Aroma as she pushed Fennecée out of the way. Alacris speed towards them, dodging their attack before wrapping his yoyo around it and pulling them. It stumbled back, causing the triplets to fall a little.

"Lady Cosmos now!" He declared, causing her to fly at them. They started to fire at her but she dodged them with aerial movement and slammed her hand into the middle of the mech.

"Cataclysm!" She declared, causing it to spread all over the suit, breaking all of it. It shattered into pieces, causing the triplets to fall. Lady Cosmos caught Jet as Alatric caught Tank. Fennecée jumped up and caught Submarine as the akuma fluttered out. Alatric placed Tank on the ground and went to throw his yoyo but Tank charged at him, growling at him. Luckily, he sped out the way, tripping Tank up. However, Fennecée and Lady Cosmos had to pin down his sisters as they tried to attack them as well. Alatric threw his yoyo and caught the akuma before letting it go. Snowbird threw him the finish line, allowing him to throw it in their air.

"Miraculous Ladybugs!" He declared, releasing the cure as Tank turned back into Terra. He still got up and charged at Alatric. Aroma grabbed him and pinned him to the ground as Alatric powered back down into Anatis. "Dame, now!"

"Empower!" She declared, causing her sword to glow green. She tapped Anatis with it before he placed his hand on Terra's forehead as his eyes turned silver.

"You're not welcome here!" He declared as Terra screamed out. His black eyes went wide before he collapsed as they turned back to normal. Anatis jumped up and rushed over to Skylar, placing his hand on her forehead too. "Nor here either!"

She cried out as her eyes turned back to their normal color as well. Finally, he rushed over to Aqua and placed his hand on her forehead too.

"It's the same with this one!" He declared but Aqua seemed to fight back, causing his eyes to glow. "I said you're not welcome here and neither is your influence!"

Her eyes glowed silver as well before turning back to her normal color. She blinked and sat up as Anatis let her go.

"W-what happened?" She asked in a quiet voice as her siblings got up with the help of the other heroes.

"You three were akumatized," Anatis explained before he held out his yoyo. "Prosperity,"

He tapped his yoyo, causing it to open and reached in, taking out three charms. One was green with brown spots, one was yellow with white spots and one was blue with teal spots.

"Here," He said, handing the green one to Terra, the yellow to Skylar and the blue one to Aqua. "These will protect you from akumas but please keep these to yourself. Hawkmoth isn't aware of these so keeping them secret will help keep everyone who has them safe,"

"We understand," Skylar states, smiling at hers. "Thank you,"

"We owe you one," Terra grinned.

"Yeah..." Aqua replied, making Anatis nod before he looked at them.

"By the way, you don't need to feel unloved, weak or invisible," He stated, making them look at him. "People love you in their own ways. Yes, sometimes they don't return your feelings but that isn't the be all or end all. Terra, you're still a teenager and you have so many years ahead of you to love but you're not going to be a teenager forever. Don't let love take your youth away,"

He turned to Skylar.

"People protect you, not because they think you're weak but because they care for you and don't want to be hurt," He explained, making her look at him in surprise. "It's ok to ask for help. That doesn't make you weak and you don't need to pick a fight to show you are strong. There are other ways to show your strengths,"

He finally turned to Aqua.

"You're not invisible, Aqua," He stated, making her look at him. "And there is nothing wrong with you. You're not a freak for been quiet or a little reserved. Not everyone is born to be social and there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, it's better to a small amount of friends you can count on then hundreds of people who let you down. Been popular isn't always what you think it is,"

"I see," She replied before nodding. "Thank you,"

"No problem," He replied as his earrings beeped. "Sorry, I'm going have to go. Ladies, shall we?"

"Alright," Dame replied as Lady Cosmos turned back into Lady Noir and Fennecée turned back into Culpeo. They nodded and the six of them headed into the rooftops. Anatis turned to Lady Noir.

"Could you collect Culpeo's and Aroma's miraculous?" He asked, making her nod. The two heroes followed her to a different location as Dame called off her transformation and said goodbye to Vernn. Snowbird turned back into Elise and said her goodbyes to Penni. "Thank you for your help today, you two. I hope we can work together again,"

"Anytime you need us, we'll be there," Renee declared as Elise nodded. "But how are we going to get home?"

As soon as she asked, a burrow opened.

"I think my friend will give you a lift," Anatis smiled, causing both girls to nod and head into the burrow. Anatis headed towards Master Fu's new home and swung through the window, landing on the floor as his transformation dropped. He took a cookie out for Tikki who took off him and thanked him before eating it. Master Fu looked up from his tea and smiled.

"I am glad to see the mission was a success," He replied, smiling. "Lady Noir returned the miraculous already. She left a couple of minutes ago,"

"I'm glad she got here easily," Luka smiled as Dr Mila came in from the kitchen with her own tea. He took out the two miraculous and held them out to her as she placed her drink down. She walked over and took them off her. 

"Thank you, Luka," She smiled, putting them back in the box. "The kwamis can now continue their play time. How did you find the akuma?"

"It was hard but thanks to everyone working together, we were able to defeat them," He replied, thinking about how Simme influenced them and about the weird boy he came across during the martial art event he had joined in with. He explained it to Master Fu and Mila who both looked concerned. "I'm not sure if he was Simme or just one of his followers but i got a bad feeling,"

"Chances are is it's one of his followers,"

"Yeah..." He replied, thinking. "I'll keep an eye on the situation for now. Luckily, I can ask my team for help to defeat him this time,"

"Well, they do have a good leader and it's good that you can rely on them," Fu replied, smiling. "And I'm sure one day you'll become a great guardian.. if not the best there is,"

Luka went red and hid his face in his hoodie.

"I don't know but I'll try my best, master," He mumbled as Tikki giggled at his reaction. "I bet go. I have to get back to the Stadium,"

"Of course," Fu replied. "Enjoy the rest of your day,"

~The Catacombs, Later that Afternoon~

"Are you satisfied?" Zoe asked as Simme stretched his arms and grinned, making her gulp. 

"Well, they were mediocre but I am still pleased with the results," He replied, his mind drifting to the martial artist who went up against one of those triplets. He had been interested as soon as he saw him completing. He always had an interest in those who studied the martial arts. He might be the spirit of cruelty but he often admired those who tried that path. Mostly because it was fun to drag them down into the darkness. They always took themselves so serious but this boy felt different. He didn't think of himself as above and seemed to have fun even though he almost lost. Admittedly, he won but that triplet gave him a run for his money. The boy however laughed and complimented his skill. That drew Simme in so he moved close enough to see more... and that's when he caught the scent of his soul. The very thought of it made his mouth water. The boy was literally a light soul. The very thing he had been searching for so long but it got better then that. He had sense his own nemesis within the boy. Finni's presence was unmistakable, meaning the child was Feng reborn and oh did that excite Simme? Not only would he get to consume a light soul and tip the balance in his favor but he would literally be consume that pesky mage as well. Of course, he was planning to keep all of this to himself. Su Han wanted to kill him and that idiot wanted to akumatize him. Simme didn't care for either of them so he would keep this boy's secret.

"Oh?"

"I got to corrupt three souls, my darling wasp," He grinned, making her gulp. "And there's more to come,"

~Later that Night~

"I am knackered," Luka declared, drying his hair as Tikki sat watching TV in his room. Snapp was curled up next to her. "Sorry, you had to hide all day, Snapp,"

"It's ok, Luka," He replied, stretching. "You had a tough battle and besides, I was safe,"

"Not as safe as I would like," Luka muttered, thinking about how Snapp had been forced to do evil by XY and how Nooroo was still trapped by Hawkmoth. "I swear I'll find a way to free all of you from that awful curse and I'll save Nooroo and Duusu as well,"

"Of course you will!" Snapp declared, flying up. "You're the true guardian!"

"You remember that?"

"Well, not ready but I believe Tikki and while my memories say otherwise, my heart and soul says you're the true guardian and the mage," Snapp declared, making Luka smile. "Wish or no wish, you're the most recent of Master Feng's life,"

"Thank you, Snapp," Luka smiled, picking up the remote and putting on a different channel. As soon as he did, the TV flickered, making him frown.

"It's time to face the truth," A voice echoed, making him feel sick as the eye he saw appeared once again before the TV turned normal as he stared. Literally seconds later, a burrow opened up in his room and a panicked Bunnyx came out, making him jump.

"Alix, what's wrong?" He asked as she literally hugged him.

"Luka!" She gasped, tears in her eyes as she looked up at him. "I... I don't know what to do,"

"Take a deep breathe and tell me what happened,"

"It's... Code Red..." She gasped, making the color drain out of his face as Tikki jumped up. "Lady Noir can't fight him. We need Anatis,"

"Tikki, spots on," He declared, turning into Anatis. "Take me to them, Bunnyx,"

She nodded and the two of them stepped into the burrow, disappearing into it's light....

‘Enough With the Bias’: Twenty-Two Countries Sign Declaration Against UN Probe Into Israel

A group of 22 countries, led by the US, have signed a declaration criticizing an open-ended probe established by the UN Human Rights Council into alleged human rights abuses committed by Israel. “We believe the nature of the COI [Commission of Inquiry] established last May is further demonstration of long-standing, disproportionate attention given to Israel in the Council and must stop,” US…

Why Panama is on Strike

From afar the Panama protests look like maybe a bunch of hypersensitive eco-fools or maybe like those people who think throwing paint on museums is making any difference instead of going directly to the companies. 

The reality is that Panama is protesting way more than just the “contract”. But, let's start with the contract. 

First, the company can own Panama by owning land property of the Panama state" inside or outside the 17,000 hectares from what was licensed.” This means that the ANATI (the National Authority of Land Administration) HAS to give it to the mining company with no setbacks.

The mine puts danger around 8 countries of Centroamerica with already reported 200 environmental damages

If the company wants to own private lands that are located inside or outside of hectares of the land that was licensed. The company can own the land and pay nothing in exchange, with no questions.

The contract was done with random permits without the proper process of acquisition. 

The contract promises to give Panama a very small quantity of payment to Panama when Panama already spends millions of dollars on the state. This means the company will give Panama less money than what Panama already invests in the country. So we are selling parts of Panama for less than what we already invested. 

Panama's government is allowing a foreign company to NOT pay 70% of their taxes during the first 10 years of copper extraction. 

The community of Donoso (where the mine is located) says they see tons of copper trucks going out every week and at the same time they complain they haven't seen improvements in their community. Ejm: railroads, electricity.

The company threatens with an international lawsuit of millions of dollars if Panama doesn't sign the contract. But if the company fails to comply with the contract, claims it will only pay 70 million dollars (Which is less than what they make extracting copper from the mine).

The contract has a clause that makes an actual law. The contract will reign according to the laws of Panama, except if a law looks inconsistent. In other words, if Panama makes a law that prohibits mining or a law that obliges them to pay taxes, because of their contract it will not apply at all because of that clause. 

The joke was that the president signed the contract in less than 3 hours.

Now, going to the other complaints of the population. Panama already has tons of issues and complaints that are not resolved. These issues have put the whole country on the verge of exploitation.

In September, there were massive protests in several parts of the country because of the sexual assault of the minor Madeleine at the hands of the National Juvenile Assembly. To keep it short. Every year the country makes a national juvenile assembly and this kid was from outside the city representing her district. She ate and drank with each political party and told a classmate to check on her because her water tasted like medicine. The kid hours later was attended by an ambulance with no notification of this to her mom. After this, the kid was behaving erratic and paranoid with a location on her phone that wasn't at the hotel in Panama where all the kids were. The other claims of the event were that all the minors had those dinners with the political parties representatives and on those tables were "Gringos" (foreign European or North American people). Why those kids were sharing tables with gringos in the first place?

When the kid arrived from the trip, she was in a catatonic state and with constant PTSD attacks. There's still no justice or any trace of who were the ones who committed those crimes, and even no accountability by the MEDUCA (The Ministry of Education of Panama).

It is not the first time since such an event happened at the hands of the state. In 2021, we had another state scandal when it was reported that one of the deputies ( Arquesio Arias) of the national assembly raped several women in the indigenous Kuna Yala region. Of course, you can imagine he was dismissed from the charges and when that announcement was published, one of the victims tried to kill herself and got into the ER.

Then there are the deputies who name some of their relatives to the state payroll and don't even work in the state but take tons and tons of money monthly. Meanwhile, the oncologico hospital keeps getting shortages of injections and gloves.

Panama is considered an international hub, one of the richest countries of Latin America and still we struggle with poverty and access to vital things for the population, why? Because people of the state and international companies steal the money, they sometimes build roads and bridges and the costs are higher to the price from the real costs of those constructions, for example, the Odebretch scandal. They charge lots of money, so they can bribe some of the money to both parties (the construction company and the one who is soliciting the construction.

But then again bribing is part of the panamenian culture as we say "juega vivo", bribing the police, the hospital, and the system is all about money and taking advantage of situations as they come even if it is illegal.

Is funny we are all fighting for water, Well my friends here where I am with the famous "Panama Canal" that provides us with most of our income as a nation while having lots of rivers and geographically we are surrounded by both the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, having all of that I get shortages and cuts of water for more than 6 times a month.

This week, the IDAAN (the company that provides water to the whole nation), has been making shortages all week. My family and I have been saving water tanks each day because of the shortages. I keep joking internally that I have a toxic relationship with the IDAAN since we kind of got used to this and the irony is that while the entire country struggles with the shortages they still sign a contract that will even affect the water flow to the Panama Canal in the long term.

The protests are not just because of the damage to nature is that the government sold us to a foreign Canadian company that has shareholders from the US and China to exploit us leaving us with nothing.

My biggest worry right now is that our current president is sick, the whole country knows he has cancer and during his last speeches, he has been looking like a corpse with now rumours of him leaving the country to intern himself to a hospital in Houston Texas. If he dies then probably the vice president has to take charge, but he has been missing since the protests and people HATE him. So yeah, Panama is on the brink of chaos and if that happens .. well

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

Thinking back to Slaughterhouse 5 and ghost in the shell chapter 1; there's no way the animorphs could have actually defeated the yeerk empire. But Earth wasn't the only front in the war, and there were other planets out there to invade. Do you think it might have been possible for the animorphs to do enough damage and cost enough resources that the yeerk leadership decide to cut their losses, give up on Earth (permanently or temporarily) and redirect earth forces to other species to invade?

That is actually their plan in #52. Eva proposes:

Do as much damage as we can. Visser [formerly-Three] does not cope well with setbacks. If we do enough damage, we could possibly chase the Yeerks off Earth... Visser One didn't advocate all-out war because she knew Earth was to volatile... Knowing something about the Yeerk High Council, I'm thinking it's likely Visser [formerly-Three]'s been warned that one more major attack on a site of concentration, ...one more public announcement by the governor calling for assistance, just might mean the end of his domination here. It might mean the Yeerks would decide to move their base of operations to some other planet. Let's face it. With the ability to morph, the Yeerks don't really need humans. They could make do with another species on another planet, a species less aggressive than humans. — p. 57-58

That's awfully cold, because as Cassie points out, to chase the yeerks off Earth is to "inflict them on another species." But it would save humanity. And Eva understands better than anyone that the yeerks are split between priorities — she's been bounced from Leeran to Earth to Anati to Sleegab Five to Earth alongside Visser One — so her strategy makes sense.

Of course, that isn't ultimately what happens. Instead they go with Toby's modification of Eva's plan: they chase the yeerks off Earth and into the arms of the Andalite Navy, letting their allies be the threat that stops the spread.

Miraculous: Rise of Anatis 74

I'm back!!!

Ok so chronically this is set just before Pumpkin King. I was intending to release it around Halloween but things didn't work out that way and I lost inspiration for a while. All the crap that is season 5 was putting me off because frankly it sounds so bad, I can't even deal with it. Luckily, inspiration came back and with good timing too as I heard about the spoilers for the end of season 5. I don't know all of them but from what I've seen it's going to be terrible so have some Anatis to cheer you all up. Also we're got some build up and new character kind of. Regarding Felix Sr, I did intend for him to simply be an Easter egg but this is also me we're talking about. Of course, it wasn't going to stay that way. Anyway, enjoy the chapter and fair warning. This is probably going to the last 'light' chapter for a while as we are going to be dealing with some dark stuff. Truth, Lies and Gang of Secrets are coming up but we also have Trio of Terror which is next, Assassin Bee and a chapter which is going to change everything for our heroes but I'm not gonna tell you who the villain of that one is. Get ready for one hell of a ride.

Also!!! I hope everyone have had good holidays and are looking forward to the new year!!

Chapter Seventy-Four: Party Crasher

~Outside Agreste Manor~

 The young man stood outside of Agreste Manor, repeatedly ringing the doorbell but getting no answer. His expression fell as he listened to the sound of people laughing and music playing. Why was he excluded? He was a friend of Adrien's right. Sure, he was his biggest fan and had a habit of getting excited in front of him but he had his number and email. He traded messages with him and tried to treat him with respect so why wasn't he invited? Did Adrien feel deep down that he was only a fan and not a friend? He frowned and took out his phone, dialling Adrien's number. It rang several times but no one answered.

 "This is Adrien's voicemail," Adrien's voice declared, mocking his pain. "Leave a message,"

 He hung up and looked up at the manor with tears in his eyes. 

 "Not only are you allowed to have friends over but apparently a huge party is no big deal either," He declared, looking down. "Why did you lie to me, Adrien?"

 A single tear rolled down his cheek as the scene flashed like a broken tv, changing to a new one. This time, an akuma dressed in silver seventies dance gear kicked down the door of Agreste manor and began to attack people, absolving them into his disco balls. A number of them got away including Adrien but he was relentless, chasing after them. Luckily, Anatis and Lady Noir turned up, causing him to focus his attention on them. The three engaged in a battle, dodging each other's moves but somehow he was able to predict their moves. He kicked Lady Noir to the curb and went to absorb her but Anatis pulled her out of the way with his yoyo. However, the akuma fired at them, causing them to jump from where they were. Just as Anatis landed, the akuma hit him with his disco ball, absorbing him. Lady Noir cried out in shock but before she could work out what to do next, the akuma turned on her, relentless attacking her and forcing her to fight. She tried her best to fend him off but he was predicting her every move. It was obvious she needed backup as the scene once again flashed, changing once more. This time, Lady Noir was trying to catch her breathe as the akuma smirked at her.

 "You can't beat me, Kitty cat," He declared as she tried to hold her ground. "I can read your every dance step and you're all alone,"

 "She's not alone!" A second voice declared as the turtle hero Leatherback jumped down with Aspik and Valkyrie. Lady Noir couldn't help the smile that came on her face. "Don't worry, Lady Noir. We've got your back. Aspik!"

 "Second chance!" Aspik declared as the butterfly mask appeared around the akuma's eyes. Up in the rooftops, Apollo lifted his bow and arrow, pointing it at the akuma as the mask disappeared.

 "Flar-" He started but before he could activate his power, the akuma fired at him and absorbed him. Aspik flicked back the bracelet and went to throw his lyre at the villain but got absorbed and then the villain absorbed both Apollo and his arrow as well as Valkyrie. Leatherback then tried to protect Lady Noir with his shelter but like the others, he was taken out as well, leaving Lady Noir alone. Before the villain could attack her, Dame managed to knock him back and turned to Lady Noir.

 "Get ou-" She didn't even finish her sentence before he absorbed her. Lady Noir backed away as ashes surrounded the area but the akuma slammed his fist towards the right side, absorbing Phenix too. Once again, Lady Noir was the last one standing and this time she didn't last much longer...

 Felix Sr jolted awake with a startle, just as Lady Noir was absorbed by the akuma's power in his dream. He sucked in his breath as sweat dripped down his forehead and Bridgette made a noise, causing him to look over in fear. However, his eyes softened upon seeing her, cuddling to the plushie she insisted on having in their bed. He smiled a little and dropped a kiss on her hair before getting up and going over to their bathroom, glancing at the clock as he did. He regretted it instantly as it was 3.31am. That explained the dream. He shook his head and turned on the light, running the tap and washing his face.

 "Damn witching hour," He muttered, grabbing his towel and drying his face. "Stupid dreams,"

 He walked back into his room and sat on the bed, covering his face with his hand. He needed to do something about these dreams. He's had the same one for the last four days at the exact same time of 3.31am. He groaned as he thought about it. It was clearly an akuma and clearly Anatis and Lady Noir were going to lose but he knew they couldn't afford to lose. If Hawkmoth got their miraculous, it would be the end of the world. He knew what that wish did. He knew how dangerous it was but he swore he was done with this stuff. He didn't want to get involved. He shook his head and went back to bed, closing his eyes. However, the next moment he opened them, his location had changed. He was in the office and the clock read 3.31pm. His assistant manager was looking at him with concern. 

 "Sir, are you ok?" She asked, making him look at her. She honestly looked terrified. Looking down at the paper on the desk and the pen in his hand, he could see why."You zoned out and started to write like you were possessed,"

 He ignored her and picked up the paper, frowning as he looked at the drawing of the akuma smiling like he had won the lottery. This was getting worse. He may need to talk to a therapist again or take something to repress it. He got up and threw the paper away before walking out of the room, ignoring his assistant manager's concerned look. As he walked, he blinked and found himself once again, waking up from his nightmare at 3.31am again. He groaned and blinked. Another day in the office with the same drawing haunting him. Another blink. Back to the dream. Another and back to the office.

 "FINE!" He shouted after waking up from the dream again, causing Bridgette to jolt awake. "Fine! I'll help them ok?!"

 "Felix?" She asked, causing him to look over as she sat up. "Are you ok?"

 "No," He answered, making her frown and wrapping her arms around his torso. "The dreams are back,"

 "What did they show this time?" She asked, placing a gentle kiss on his shoulder.

 "The heroes falling to a new akuma," He replied, making her frown. "I can't stop that,"

 "But can you change the outcome?" She asked, making him sigh. 

 "Maybe," He replied, turning to her. "But I'll have to go see her,"

 "Want me to come with you?" She asked but he shook his head. "Ok but if you change your mind, just call me,"

 "Thank you," He whispered, climbing back into bed and hugging her. She ran her fingers through his hair, soothing him. "I'll call into the office today and go find her in the park,"

 "Tell her that I say hi," She replied, causing him to nod before they both drifted to sleep. A few hours later, Felix was walking towards the park, thinking about the events that were to come. He hated his dreams because he couldn't change the events that were shown in them. He tried but it never worked. He could only change the outcome which might sound like the same thing but it wasn't. If someone was meant to die, they would die but that doesn't mean that someone had to see it. In this case, the heroes would be captured regardless of what he did but that didn't mean Hawkmoth had to win. He could change that. He just didn't know how yet. He came to a stop as he saw an older woman sat feeding the birds and humming to herself. She had her grey hair tied in a bun and wore a yellow dress with a brown jacket. She glanced up with green eyes as he walked over.

 "Felix Culpa," She smiled as he sat next to you. "It's been a while,"

 "Grand Witch of London," He stated, making her smile. "I'm afraid this isn't a social call,"

 "Oh?"

 "Do you still have what I gave to you three years ago?" He asked, looking straight ahead. She pursed her lips and nodded. "Good. I need it back,"

 "Are you sure?" She asked. "You swore you were done with magic and miraculous when you entrusted it to me,"

 "Well, I was but my dreams are back, Marianne," He stated, looking at her. "And the universe keeps on bugging me,"

 "I see. Does this mean you'll also be taking back your official title again?" She asked, making him but he nodded nevertheless. She nodded as well before pulling out her purse and opening it. "Well, then it's lucky for you that I had a feeling that I should bring this with me,"

 She pulled out a collar brooch shaped like two black wings before handing it back to Felix Sr. 

 "Good luck, Felix,"

 ~A couple of Days later in Gabriel's office~

 "Is everything going according to plan, Natalie?" Gabriel asked as he held the phone to his ear. Nathalie was driving 'him' to the airport for Tokyo's fashion weekend but in reality, he was using the peace and quiet to harvest his akumas and study the grimoire with Su Han. Of course, he still had to appear at the actual fashion day but luckily, he had already got a plan for that. As usual, he would appear in tablet form. The whole thing with him in the car was really just keeping up appearances but anyone who knew him knew he wouldn't actually appear in person. 

 "Yes. Enroute to the airport, Sir," Natalie confirmed, dragging him out of his thoughts. "You will officially be spending the entire weekend in Tokyo. No one will ever suspect that you stayed home. Just don't forget to pick up when it comes to the gala,"

 "Perfect and I know," He replied before hanging up and walking over to the painting of Emile. He pressed the buttons in, activating the floor platform before it took him down to his butterfly garden. Nooroo flew out of his pocket and floated next to him. As soon as the lift door opened, he strolled across to Emilie's coffin and stood in front of it with Nooroo following him. "Emilie, we miss you so much but you'll be back with us very soon. Thanks to my akumas and my new mentor, it's only a matter of time before I take control of their miraculous. Merging them will give me absolute power to reshape reality and finally erase our past mistake,"

 "As long as you keep your side of the deal," Su Han's voice echoed as shadows moved around the room, making Gabriel frown. Of course, he had no intention of keeping his side of the deal but Su Han nor his creepy little pet needed to know that. "You've seen what happens to those who fail or betray us,"

 "Of course, I will honour my side," He lied, putting on a brave face as he turned around. He had no intention of ending up the same way as that fool Xavier. "But perhaps your beast should restrain it's hunger for now,"

 And why should I do that? An echo-like voice replied, sending shivers down Gabriel's spine as the shadows moved around, constricting around his neck. Or maybe I should devour your soul too...

 "Do that and I guarantee you won't find the mage," He replied, calmly as the shadowy snake hissed near his ear. "After all, once I have the miraculous in my grasp, we make the heroes talk and reveal who their guardian is and in turn, he will lead us to the mage then you can feast as much as your black heart desires,"

 "Simme, enough," Su Han ordered, causing the spirit to glare at him with crimson eyes but it pulled away from Gabriel and slithered over to the window. “We’ll be having a meeting with the rest tomorrow but for now let’s continue your training,”

 You two have no sense of humour but I digress... It hissed, climbing up the wall as both Gabriel and Su Han rose an eyebrow. I'm off. Have fun with your boring lessons and butterfly pickings...

 Just as the shadow slid out of the window, a number of butterflies fluttered around.

 "They're ready," Gabriel grinned before turning to Nooroo. "Time to Harvest,"

 ~The Next Day Outside of Agreste Manor~

 "I can't believe Adrien actually decided to throw a party for Halloween. I'm so proud of him," Chloe gasped, pressing her hand against her heart as she pretended to wipe a tear from her eye before grinning. Marinette and Luka chuckled as they walked with her to the party. Alya had to babysit her sisters so sadly she couldn't come along at that moment but promised to be by later on. Luckily, Nino and the rest of the gang were there to keep him entertained as well as Kagami. Zoe was also coming along. They were originally going to come dressed up but Adrien asked them not to. He also only wanted a small number of people there but progress was still being made. Luka was still proud of how far he had come. "Admittedly it's a bit early since it's half way through October but needs must and all! I'm still proud of him!"

 "Me too!" Marinette declared, smiling as she held Luka's hand. "I just hope nothing goes wrong,"

 "Well, we have the Gorilla on our side," Chloe grinned. "Even Nathalie went behind Gabriel's back and gave Adrien some suggestions on how to make sure the house looked perfect once we're done,"

 "Wow, I didn't expect that from her," Luka replied as they came to the gate of the mansion. They rang the doorbell and soon they were inside, hanging with Adrien. Luka couldn't help but smile as he listened to the music of the room. Normally it was an extremely sombre feeling that came from the manor and while it was still there, it wasn't the dominant song. Right now, a song of joy and fun was playing. Adrien was sitting chatting with his friends, visibly relaxed as Kagami stroked his hair. Nino and Max were playing with music and the girls were playing some pool. The Gorilla had ordered Pizza and not long after it arrived, Alya arrived as well, finally free from babysitting.

 "So what did I miss?" She grinned, grabbing a slice of pizza. "And why is this music so quiet?"

 "Ah that would be the sound control," Adrien replied, making her frown. "And not much. Lila attempted to come by but the Gorilla told her I was busy with my Chinese lessons so she wouldn't be able to tell Father what I'm actually doing,"

 "Urg typical Lila," Alya rolled her eyes as Max sat at the computer.

 "Well, we can't fix her but I can easily fix this volume," He replied, typing as Adrien gasped. "Don't worry it won't be too loud, Adrien. Marvok, care to assist,"

 "Of course, Max," Marvok replied, flying over as Max typed before plugging himself in as Adrien watched with fascination. "I just need to hook into the home's electrical panel,"

 "And we're in," Max grinned as the system appeared before he pushed up his glasses and began to read it. "Whoa,"

 "What?" Adrien asked, looking over. Max turned round and glanced towards him.

 "Your house's power supply is insane," He grinned, causing Luka to look over as Adrien got up and looked over. "This could compete with a nuclear power station,"

 "For real?" Nino asked, making Luka more curious. Why did Agreste manor have such a power supply? He got up and walked over as Max typed.

 "And a lot of it is being redirected somewhere," Max replied, making him frown as he looked over. He didn't understand any of it. "That is odd,"

 "I'm not surprised," A new voice stated, causing them to look over before Adrien broke into a massive grin as he rushed over to Felix who was stood by the door. He hugged him, causing him to pat him on the back before he walked over to Max. "Uncle always had to have the biggest and best things. Chances are that energy is going to some weird fashion device that he just had to buy,"

 "Sounds about right for Gabriel," Another voice replied, causing Adrien to look back. Felix Sr was stood leaning against the door, looking moody as usual as the kids looked over at him, unsure if they should continue with the party. "Oh, don't let my presence stop you from having fun. Adrien, rebelling against your father hm? I'm so proud of you,"

 "Thanks, Uncle Felix," He grinned, causing him to walk over and ruffle his hair. "I didn't expect you to visit though,"

 "If your father was here, I clearly wouldn't be," He replied, making Adrien. "But Felix happened to inform me that my dearest brother in law is out of the country at the moment and suggested I come by to spend some time with my nephew since I never get a chance too,"

 "I'm so glad!" Adrien grinned, hugging him. Felix Sr seemed taken back by it but patted his back nevertheless. "I wish Father hadn't banned you from the house,"

 "Well, that's Gabriel for you," He replied. "Ever so melodramatic,"

 "Hang on!" Nino declared, making him look at him. "You're both called Felix?!"

 "Yes," Felix Jr replied. "Family tradition,"

 "It is believed that good luck comes to our family if the first born son is named Felix," Felix Sr replied, making the kids nod. "But since there's two of us, you can refer to me as Lex. It's the nickname I go by. Though I don't want to interrupt your party so I'll go chat with Anton," 

 He turned on his heel and headed to the door.

 "Of course, I would advise you not to post about this on social media," He stated, making everyone blink. "I'd hate for Gabriel's house to get trashed but then again, you can't really call this a party now,"

 With that, he left, causing the kids to blink as Felix typed away on his phone.

 "And send," He stated, making everyone look at him. "What?"

 "Did you just post about the party on social media?" Adrien asked, a little panicked.

 "Uncle's idea," Felix replied, smirking. "Besides, your old man isn't here and as long as we clear up, he'll never know so let your hair down for once and have some fun. Also I said it was my party, not yours. That way Uncle can't get mad at you,"

 "Felix..." Adrien replied before grinning. "You're the best!"

 "Yes, well someone needs to liven this party up," Felix muttered but he had a smile on his face and soon enough, the small gathering had turned into a full blown party with practically all of Paris' famous there. Luka smiled to himself as he sat next to Jagged on Adrien's piano as he played his guitar with his dad. It was perfect. Adrien looked really happy to have his friends around, Marinette was goofing around with Juleka and the rest of the girls while trying to get Felix and Kagami to join them in their dance. Even Felix Sr had also come back in and had started chatting with Anarka. Seeing an opportunity to share how proud of Luka he was, Jagged stopped playing the piano and asked Max to take over the music before joining in with the conversation. Despite the conversation and the clearly happy atmosphere, Luka couldn't help but noticed that Felix Sr seemed on edge but then again Felix Sr always seemed on edge. Luka just assumed it was his nature. He smiled and jumped down from the piano before placing his guitar on the side and began to head over towards Marinette, who was leading the charge as the girl squad attempted to dance. She marched up and down happily as Alya spun around before both girls ended up almost falling over. They caught each other and burst into laughter as he smiled. However, he stopped as a cold shiver moved down his spine, causing him to look towards the bar area. To his surprise, he saw Master Fu sitting there. His eyes widened in shock but he quickly hid the expression and looked back over at Marinette. She was now attempting to get Zoe to join in. He walked over and gave Marinette a peck on the cheek as Jagged declared that the music should be louder.

 "Do you want a drink, Melody?" He asked, making her look at him.

 "Yes please!" She grinned, making him smile back. Her song was so loud and full of energy that he could write a thousand songs and it would not be enough to describe how beautiful she sounded. "Can you get me a lemonade please?"

 "Of course," He smiled, pecking her cheek again before heading back over to the bar area where Master Fu was sitting. He grabbed a can before looking for a cup near Master Fu before whispering. "Master... Why are you here? Are the miraculous... you know..."

 "The miraculous are safe... besides, don't party like this is bound to attract some trouble, don't you think?" He replied, not even looking at Luka who frowned as he patted the cooler next to him. He had a point. Police could get annoyed at the noise. Not to mention that the Gorilla could freak out. "Mila is here too..."

 Luka glanced around and noticed Mila chatting to his parents and Felix Sr.

 "On top of that, Mila and I noticed a number of people of interest entering the building through the back way half an hour ago,"

 "People of interest?" Luka asked, frowning.

 "Yes, Mrs Bourgeois, Mrs Graham de Vanily and Mrs Tsurugi," He replied, making Luka frown even more. "Yet I heard that Mr Agreste isn't here,"

 "So why would they be entering the building?" He asked, frowning as he put down two cups. "Did you happen to see where they went?"

 "Interestingly enough, they went into Mr Agreste's office," He replied, making Luka frown. He needed to have a look. He still suspected Gabriel Agreste is Hawkmoth even though he got akumatized but why have a meeting when Gabriel supposedly wasn't in town? Not just that but why did this house have such a massive power supply and where was it going to? "I planned to stick nearby in case but this party gave me the opportunity to come in,"

 "I need to have a look in his office," Luka muttered, frowning before he took the drinks and walked over to Marinette who was now joined by Adrien. "Here we are,"

 "Thanks," She grinned, taking it and slipping the drink as he sipped his own. "This is the coolest party I've been to!"

 "Thanks," Adrien grinned as Kagami smiled. "I didn't even know parties could be so cool. Even my chinese teacher came by and he brought his wife!"

 Luka almost spat out his drink at that. Mila was pretending to be Fu's wife?! Seriously?! He coughed as Adrien made sure he was ok.

 "I'm fine," He coughed, waving his hand. "But I could do with a little bit of fresh air so I'm just gonna step out. There's a lot of songs in this room. It's a bit overwhelming,"

 "Oh, would you like me to come with you?" Marinette asked with a worried look but he gave her a soft smile and shook his head. "Are you sure?"

 "Yep, I'll be fine," He reassured, pecking her cheek. "I won't be long,"

 "Well ok but don't be afraid to get me if you need me," She replied, kissing his cheek. He smiled bashfully and nodded before leaving the room. As soon as he was out, he ducked into a separate room and glanced around, checking for cameras in case. Satisfied with his look, he took out a yellow magicron.

 "Tikki," He whispered, causing her to fly out of his pocket as he held it up. "Time to test it out,"

 "Ok," She nodded as he tossed it to her. She swallowed it whole.

 "Tikki, power up!" He whispered, causing her to transform.

 "Altikki!" She declared, causing him to swipe his ear.

 "Altikki, spots on," He declared, transforming into a new form. His hair was completely black and he wore his usual suit but it was darker than normal and the red section had camouflage. He smiled before his suit shimmered, changing to blend into the place. In this case, it turned white including his hair making him blend in with the walls. "Time to investigate,"

 ~Underneath Agreste Manor~

 "I hope you didn't just invite us here to harvest butterflies," Audrey stated, looking at the butterfly garden with disgust as Gabriel clipped them. "It's like you're not even trying to hide that you're working with Hawkmoth. How much is he paying you to do this? Is that why your fashion house has fallen on hard times?"

 "I appropriate the concern, Audrey," Gabriel replied, placing a cocoon in the basket. "But whatever I have going with Hawkmoth is between me and him,"

 "Alright, keep your secrets to yourself," Audrey replied, smirking. "But seriously why gather us here?"

 "Because I asked him to," Su Han's voice stated, causing the others to look at him with shock as he walked over with his arms behind his back. Simme trailed behind him, munching on some pigeons. "I wish to know if any of you have made any progress with tracking down the mage,"

 "I have not, grand master," Audery replied, frowning. "But my darling daughter is investigating a number of people. I have her look into-"

 "I don't care unless they're the mage," He hissed, making her go quiet. "And you, Madam Tsurugi?"

 "The mage has not made an appearance to me yet nor to my kin," She stated in her usual manner. "I have taken the liberty to contact my brother . He is flying to france as we speak,"

 "Excellent," Su Han smirked. Tsurugi Zenaku was legendary in the underworld. A skilled assassin who could track and find any target and who didn't care whom he killed. He also had the Cobra Miraculous. Not that he needed it. "Send him my way when he arrives,"

 "Yes, Grand Mage,"

 "And you Amelie?" He asked, looking at her. "Any news for me?"

 She went to open her mouth but before she could, the electricity shut off. All of them looked around before Gabriel gasped and left the area. Su Han narrowed his eyes before following.

 "What is the meaning of this, Gabriel?" He demanded as the man checked on his wife before ignoring him and rushing over to the lift. He entered it but got stuck half way up. He slammed his fists against it before transforming into Hawkmoth and breaking free. He jumped down and rushed back over to his wife. "Agreste?"

 "The electricity has been switched off. My wife's cryo chamber is using the back up energy but it won't last forever," He declared, glancing back over there. "I need someone to restore power from the outside,"

 "So akumatize someone," Simme hissed before laughing. "Or your wifeicle will melt,"

 "Hush," Su Han replied, narrowing his eyes at Hawkmoth. "Sort it out while I continue the meeting,"

 "Of course," He replied, closing his eyes as Su Han walked back over to the other area. He tried to focus on a negative emotion. "I don't feel any negative emotion. There's only-"

 His eyes snapped open and widened as he felt it.

 "Joy!" He growled, getting annoyed. "What's going on in my house?!"

 He closed his eyes again and focused harder, trying to track down any negative emotion. As he did so, Wayhem stood outside of Agreste Manor and repeatedly rang the doorbell but was getting no answer. His expression fell as he listened to the sound of people laughing and music playing. Why was he excluded? He was a friend of Adrien's right. Sure, he was his biggest fan and had a habit of getting excited in front of him but he had his number and email. He traded messages with him and tried to treat him with respect so why wasn't he invited? Did Adrien feel deep down that he was only a fan and not a friend? He frowned and took out his phone, dialling Adrien's number. It rang several times but no one answered.

 "This is Adrien's voicemail," Adrien's voice declared, mocking his pain. "Leave a message,"

 He hung up and looked up at the manor with tears in his eyes. 

 "Not only are you allowed to have friends over but apparently a huge party is no big deal either," He declared, looking down. "Why did you lie to me, Adrien?"

 A single tear rolled down his cheek as Hawkmoth honed in on his pain.

 "Ah! I can feel a negative emotion!" He declared, holding out his hand and screwing it into a fist. "At last, an unexpected and powerful wave of disappointment!"

 He held out his hand, causing a butterfly to land on before charging it up with his evil energy.

 "Fly away, my little akuma and evilize him!" He declared, allowing to fly off. It made its way to Wayhem and entered the prank glasses he had just as he walked off, causing the connection between him and Hawkmoth to open. "Party Crasher, I am Hawkmoth... so you weren't invited?! Well, I'm giving you the power to crash that party and end it for good! All I ask in return is for you to bring me Anatis' and Lady Noir's miraculous? Oh and to find the source of this power cut? Do we have a deal?"

 "Let's get this party started, Hawkmoth!"

 "Excellent,"

 ~Back in Agreste Manor~

 Anatis frowned as he looked around Gabriel's office. Nothing seemed out of place but that's why he decided to try out the stealth suit. Not only did it allow him to move without being detected by anyone or anything but it also gave him some other useful abilities. He tapped the side of his mask, causing lens to appear over his eyes that allowed him to see footprints. He really should ask how Sir Rene came up with such an idea and how they worked in the ancient world. He glanced around and noticed several footsteps. So they had definitely been in here but they appeared to only lead into here. As far as he could see, they hadn't left yet but no one was in the room. He frowned and followed the footsteps, leading to the portrait of Emile Agreste. He frowned a little more and looked up. The portrait seemed fairly normal so he trapped his mask again, causing the lens to change once more. This time it allowed him to glance through the portrait. He could see there was a safe behind it but that made sense. Of course, Gabriel has a safe behind it but maybe there was a secret here that he couldn't see. He stepped forward and moved his hand across the frame, looking for a secret button. There might be a hidden passage behind the picture and safe but before he could examine it more, the sounds of screams caught his attention. He turned on his heel and rushed to the door, looking outside. The front door was missing, the gorilla was gone and the guests were running out of the manor, terrified. He frowned and shut the door.

 "Tikki, spots off," He replied, turning back to his normal form before rushing outside and throwing his yoyo. To his surprise, the villain who looked like some crazy disco guy ducked down, causing his yoyo to miss him but luckily his target was able to get away. He fired a silver beam at Anatis who jumped out of the way as Lady Noir's baton flew at the Party Crasher. Once again, he ducked and fired at her but she grabbed her baton as she jumped out of the way, landing next to Anatis. "Alright, Disco guy. This party is over!"

 "Fools!" He declared, pointing at them as he walked out of the house. "All I need is to touch you then your miraculous will be mine!"

 "Well, obviously, we're not gonna let that happen!" Lady Noir shot back. "We'll free your victims instead!"

 He charged at them, causing them to jump back into the street as they avoided his disco balls.

 "Lady Noir, would you mind distracting our party fiend?"

 "You got it, bug boy!" She winked before charging at him as Anatis threw his yoyo and flew up to a statue. He was about to summon his lucky charm when he saw Lady Noir being kicked by Party Crasher before he went to touch her.

 "Lady Noir!" He called out, throwing his yoyo and pulling her to safety. "You ok, Kitty?"

 "I am now," She grinned as he held her in his arms. "But how did he figure out my moves?"

 "He must have anticipated our moves?" He frowned as he put her down. "We're gonna need to figure out how to surprise him,"

 "How about we use some of that luck of yours then?" She grinned, leaning on her baton. "We might just need a party favour to sort out this guy,"

 "Sounds good to me," He replied, putting her down and throwing up his yoyo, causing his outfit to transform into the power up version. "Lucky charm!"

 The magical swamp appeared from his yoyo and formed a shape that dropped into his hand.

 "An old cassette tape?" He questioned, looked at it but before he could work it out, Party Crasher fired at him and Lady Noir. Both of them jumped out of the way and Anatis went to land on the ground but as soon as he did, Party Crasher slammed his disco ball into him, causing his eyes to widen in shock before he disappeared.

 "Annie!" Lady Noir screamed as he disappeared but Party Crasher soon came after her. She dodged and jumped out of the way but he was relentless in his attacks and she was clearly outmatched. She really needed backup and she needed it now.

 ~Meanwhile~

 Felix Sr frowned from where he was. He was stood on top of Agreste Manor Anatis had been captured and Lady Noir was on her own, just like his vision showed. He narrowed his eyes and saw the guardian of the miraculous placing various miraculous to whom he would assume were temporary heroes. Not far from the scene, Dame and Phenix Rogue stood nearby, already instructed by their mistress on what to do. She was smart enough to stay out of the fight and told them to wait until things were truly desperate before joining this one. He understood why they weren't moving yet, even with Anatis absorbed. Giving away their positions right now would be a stupid move. Their mistress had taught them that. His eyes returned back to the scene as Apsik was absorbed. It wouldn't be long before the others were absorbed, causing Dame and Phenix to try and save her but they will be absorbed too then finally Lady Noir. He knew he couldn't stop it but he will not let Hawkmoth win. He took out a swan brooch from his pocket and fixed it onto his shirt, causing a swan like Kwami to manifest. It resembled a black swan in looks. It blinked as it looked at him.

 "Fee!!" It declared, zooming around him. "I thought I'd never see you again!!"

 "Likewise, old friend," He replied, smiling a little. "But my time with the miraculous is not over yet, Vinne,"

 "Yay!!" Vinne declared, flying around him. "Let's kick butt!"

 "Yes, let's kick butt indeed," He replied, swiping his hand over the miraculous. "Vinne, Assemblé!" 

 "Whooooo!!" Vinne declared as he was sucked into the miraculous, causing it to glow and charge up before he moves his arms up and across each other, causing a red glow to appear on his hands before bringing them down and causing it to absorb his body. When it disappeared, his suit had changed into a new outfit. He wore a red shirt with a deep purple waistcoat that had silver buttons and swirls on it. His pants were black and he wore brown knee high boots. On his hands were fingerless gloves and his nails were painted black. The red glow formed a silver brooch with a red gem inside before travelling down as it created a red ruffle on the shirt. It spread across his shoulders, creating a black feather cape before it flowed down in three different areas, creating the rest of the cape that was black faded into purple in colour. He held one of his hands up in the air, creating a glowing red orb that transformed into a wooden staff with a red crystal ball on top that was surrounded by a black swan. He brought it down past his head, causing a mask to appear over his eyes and his hair to grow longer and wilder. His mask resembled a masquerade one. It was black and red with a silver line and half of it flickered up, resembling feathers. His eyes had also transformed from grey blue to red with black siries and upon his left ear sat a silver earring with a red crystal hanging off it. With the transformation complete, he casted his gaze down to Party Crasher who was now talking to Hawkmoth. Atrarus narrowed his eyes before diving off the building and slamming his staff into the ground, interrupting their conversation. Naturally, he missed Party Crasher but he dodged the beam fired at him and using his foresight, blocked Party Crasher's arm and slammed his staff into his ribs, sending him flying.

 "Now who's ruining my fun" Party Crasher demanded, glaring. Atrarus closed his eyes and saw Party Crasher coming at him, swinging his left disco ball before switching to his right. He opened his eyes as Party Crasher ran at him, swinging the left. He ducked and grabbed his right hand as he switched, throwing him over his shoulder and slamming him into the ground. "What?! How?!"

 "Did you think you're the only one who predict dance moves?" He questioned, smirking a little as Party Crasher growled.

 "Your miraculous is mine!"

 "Really now?" Atrarus answered, jumping back as Party Crasher rushed at him before almost hitting him.

 "Your miraculous won't help you predict my dance moves!" 

 "Funny because I'm not even using my miraculous power right now!" Atrarus replied, keeping up with Party Crasher's dance. "I'm using my own natural ability,"

 "Natural ability or not, I'll predict your next move!" 

 "Predict this!" Atrarus declared as Party Crasher fired at him as he lifted his staff. "Temporal Hiatus!"

 A red glow appeared in the crystal ball and echoed out, causing everything in its radius to suddenly stop including Party Crasher and his beam. Only Atrarus could move.

 "Even an akuma like you is not immune to the laws of time," Atrarus replied before jumping over to where Master Fu was hiding before he opened the cooler where the miraculous were hidden. "Excuse me, guardian but I need to borrow the monkey miraculous and I have just the person in mind,"

 He grabbed the miraculous and rushed back into Agreste Manor, heading into Adrien's room. When Party Crasher had crashed the party, most of the guests had ran out but to his surprise, Alya Cesaire, who previously had rushed head first with no regard for her own safety or her others, had actually used her brain and slipped into the bathroom instead during the chaos. Party Crasher didn't even think to look in there, he just assumed everyone had in fact left the building but Felix Sr had noticed her do that and saw the way to change the outcome because of it. He stepped inside the bathroom and saw her looking out the window. He only had a minute left of frozen time but he doubted that Party Crasher would follow him. 

 "Where did he go?!" He heard the sound of Party Crasher's voice and couldn't resist a smirk.

 "Wasn't there another hero?" Alya asked herself, causing him to clear his throat. She screamed and turned around. "What?! But you were just next to the villain!"

 "Yes and now I'm here,"

 "How?"

 "Magic," He deadpanned. "Now let's not waste any more time, shall we?"

 "Huh?" She blinked as he held out the box with the money miraculous. "Wait, is that? Anatis told-"

 "Anatis and Lady Noir are about to be delivered to Hawkmoth where he will then take the miraculous, merge them and use a wish that will destroy this world," He stated, shocking Alya. "And I have no intention of letting that happen so you're going to help me. Put that on and say the magic words,"

 "I'm sure Anatis has a full-"

 "Now Miss Cesaire before my patience wears thin,"

 "Ok, ok!" She gasped, taking the circlet out and putting it on her head. A golden ball of light appeared and spun around before turning into a monkey miraculous. "Oh wow!! This is wild!!"

 "Hey, what's going on here?" It declared, glaring at Atrarus. "You're not Anatis or the guardian!"

 "No but I am an ally and the acting Grand Mage of Paris," He replied, making the monkey gasp and Alya stare. "Now hurry up before the butterfly man wins,"

 "Right!" It replied, turning to Alya. "I'm Xuppu. To transform, just say Xuppu, showtime!"

 "Xuppu! Show time!"

 ~Outside of the Manor~

 "Excellent work, Party Crasher," Hawkmoth declared in his mind as he listened. "Now all you need to do is send me the miraculous!"

 "What about that other hero?" Party Crasher asked, concerned. 

 "He's run off like a coward," He replied, not caring. "Besides, he can't stop me! Now send them to me!"

 "Let's dance!" Party Crasher declared, using his powers to make a plane to get the miraculous to Hawkmoth but before he could get it to fly off, the annoying hero reappeared, slamming into him with his staff. "You again!"

 "Yes and this time I brought a friend to the party!" He replied, jumping out of the way of his beam before a staff was thrown at him. Party Crasher growled as he dodged it before looking up as a new hero joined them. She was wearing a brown and white suit with dark brown detail on the legs. Her boots were combat boots and she had some leg warmers that resembled ropes around her legs. She wore an orange jacket with dark brown arm pads and had brown gloves on. Her hair was tied up in a very messy bun with strands of her hair looking like a mane with two stands of hair by the sides of her face. The color was red brown that faded into orange and she wore a golden circlet on her head. There was a brown mask around her eyes and she had a rope around her waist that resembled a tail. She grinned as she grabbed her staff and jumped over to a statue, hanging off it.

 "Aww, you called me a friend!"She grinned before spinning her staff that turned golden. "Uproar!"

 Her staff created a golden light that in turn created a toy banana. She caught it and squeezed it, causing Party Crasher to laugh as the little plane flew off.

 "This is the best you could get?" He asked Atrarus who shrugged as the girl threw the banana. It hit Party Crasher in the chest and appeared to do nothing. "Seriously?"

 She smirked as the plane turned into a silver lama, causing Party Crasher to panic.

 "What's going on?!" He declared as the girl laughed. He stepped back in horror as his vision messed up, showing all kinds of things and colours. He couldn't predict anyone's moves right now.

 "Sorry about Tamarin!" Atrarus grinned as she ran towards the lama and jumped up. "She just loves disrupting others' powers! Right?"

 "Right!" She declared, slamming her staff into it. It exploded, causing a number of random things to rain down as she hopped back over to Atrarus as the other heroes and everyone else who had been captured appeared behind them. "Whoa, it worked!"

 "And to think you doubted my plan," Atrarus replied, placing his hand to his chest as Anatis looked around.

 "Everyone, get to safety! Me and my team will deal with Party Crasher," He ordered before turning to the new heroes. "Thanks for the assist,"

 "Yes, well I'd rather not see the end of the world," Atrarus replied as Tamarin grinned before he pulled Anatis out of the way of another beam. "Leatherback is it? Protect us will you?"

 "Yes, sir!" He replied, holding up his shield. "Shellter!"

 The force field appeared around them as Anatis rubbed the back of his neck.

 "Head in the game, Anatis," Atrarus stated sternly. "Now I believe you summoned a lucky charm before you were captured. Do you still have it?"

 "Yes," He replied, taking it out. "It's a cassette but I didn't get a chance to work out how to use it,"

 "Hmm, well Party Crasher's ability to prediction but clearly it's not on my level since I could easily outdo him,"

 "Your level?" Lady Noir asked, confused. "Wait, does your miraculous give you the same abilities?"

 "No," He replied, rolling his eyes. "I can simply see certain outcomes. Anyway, that doesn't help any of you. He can still predict your moves,"

 "You're right," Anatis replied, looking at the cassette before it lit up, along with everyone else. "Unless he can't predict our moves! Valkyrie, teleport here and get something that can play this!"

 "Yes, Boss!" She declared as he showed her a location, opening a portal and reaching in. "Sorry! I'll return it!"

 She pulled out an old cassette player.

 "Our friend here can predict our moves so the only way to defeat him is to make ourselves unpredictable," He declared, putting the casette in and pressing play, causing music to blast out as the rest of the group looked at him like he was insane. Atrarus had a feeling he was use to this. "In other words, freak out and show me your moves! Dame, would you mind making our dance moves better?"

 "Of course," She grinned, holding up her sword. "Empower!"

 The green glow went over all of them, making them feel stronger and faster. 

 "Well, here goes nothing," Phenix replied as Leatherback's shelter disappeared. Party Crasher grinned and went into a fighting stance but to his surprise and slight horror, the heroes just began to dance with no real rhyme at all.

 "What are you doing?! It's nonsense!" He stepped back as his vision began to be disrupted. "What the?!"

 He shook his head and charged at the group but thanks to empower and their own unique movements, they were able to block and dodge his moves before striking back. Phenix tripped him up and Dame aimed her sword at him, knocking him back as Apollo used Flare to blind him. He never got a chance to use it before he got captured. Aspik threw his lyre at his face as he charged at Valkyrie who ducked and kicked him in the back. He bounced back and charged at Leatherback who blocked his move with his shield then struck him in the gut, causing him to fall back. He growled and threw his fist at Tamarin who grabbed his arm and pushed him towards Lady Noir who kicked him in the first. Tamarin then struck him with her stick before Anatis jumped over and kicked him in the gut, causing his glasses to fall.

 "Anatis! The Glasses!" Atrarus declared as he saw them. "That's where the akuma is!"

 "Got it!" Anatis nodded and grabbed them, throwing them towards Lady Noir. "Kitten!"

 "Cataclysm!" She declared, grabbing them. As soon as they touched her hand, they crumbled into pieces. The akuma flew out and Anatis took out his yoyo before throwing it to capture the akuma and brought it back to himself. 

 "Bye, bye, Little Butterfly," He smiled as he tapped open the yoyo and let the now purified butterfly fly out before he pressed stop on the music and took out the tape, throwing it into the air as his outfit turned back to normal. The tape exploded into the magical swamp and swiped across the area, fixing everything before disappearing as Party Crasher turned into Wayhem. Anatis helped him to his feet before turning to the newcomers. "Thanks for- where did your friend go?"

 "Huh?" Tamarin gasped, looking around but Atrarus was nowhere to be seen. It was like he vanished into smoke. "Whoa! I guess he really is magic!"

 "Magic?" Anatis questioned before shaking his head. "Well thank you for the assistance, Tamarin but I'm afraid I can't let you keep the miraculous,"

 "I figured as much, Anatis," She grinned as Phenix and Dame said their goodbyes and jumped away. "But how come they don't have to give them back?"

 "They answer to someone else," He replied, making her nod as a number of the miraculous beeped. "I do have a lot to collect. Everyone, find a good hiding place. Lady Noir, could you lend me a paw to collect these?"

 "Sure!" She grinned, following Apollo, Valkyrie and Aspik while Leatherback hid in a different area. Tamarin followed Anatis to an alleyway before her transformation dropped, causing Anatis to look at her. "Hey,"

 "Alya Ceraise," He smiled as she handed him the circlet. "You did a good job today,"

 "Thanks," She grinned, rubbing the back of her neck. "But I guess this will probably be the only time,"

 "Keep on the right path and I'll be sure to call on Tamarin again," He smiled before swinging off to go get Leatherback's miraculous. Alya grinned and ran back to Agreste Manor to see if everyone else was ok from the attack.

 ~Underneath Agreste Manor~

 "I was so close this time, Nooroo!" Gabriel raged, slamming his fist against the wall. He had practically won then that new hero had appeared with his sidekick and saved the day. How did he even disappear like that?! Nooroo flinched as he slammed his fist again before hiding as someone knocked on the door. He opened it and glared at Su Han. "What?"

 "The meeting is to continue,"

 "Yes, that makes sense," He muttered, leaving the room as he walked over to the rest of the group. He looked at Su Han who looked annoyed. "Master Su Han, tell me is there a swan miraculous?"

 "Yes-"

 "A Swan?" Amelie asked, shocked before jumping up. "Forgive me, I must sort out something urgent,"

 With that, she rushed out. Su Han pinched his nose in annoyance.

 "Fine, this meeting is over," He replied, glaring. "I expect better results when we next meet,"

 The others nodded and left but Audery failed to notice Simme, following her. He tailed her inside the hotel then went his own way, searching. Not long after he came to Zoe's room and slipped inside as she sat in front of her vanity while her kwami brushed her hair.

 "Zoe," He hissed, making her look over as he appeared in his smaller form. "I require your assistant,"

 "Aren't you Master Su Han's kwami?" She asked, making him hiss and turn into his giant snake form. 

 "I am not a kwami, foolish girl!" He screeched, causing the shadows in her room to move and take scary forms. She gasped and jumped up in fear. "And he is not my master!"

 "I'm sorry!" She gasped, bowing. "I didn't know!"

 "Of course not, my dear child," He replied, changing back into his kwami form. "Now that we've cleared that up, I wish to have some fun and you're gonna help me,"

 "H-How?"

 "I want to join your school,"

 "B-But there's no more openings,"

 "Then make one!" He growled, making her gasp. "I'm bored and your school is a hot spot for akumas! A guy like me could have so much fun there. It's practically an all you can eat buffet,"

 "B-But you joining and then suddenly an increase in negativity could look really weird," She gasped, making him look at her. "That would bring the heroes to your front step so to speak but I have an idea if you're interested,"

 "An idea hmm?" He asked, moving around her as her kwami cowered away. Shadows wrapped around her neck making her gasp with fear. "It better not be a boring idea or I'll eat your soul,"

 "We-well, th-there's a school sports contest that is going to occur this week," She gasped, making him hum with interest. "Y-You could join the other school and play everyone against each other without looking too suspicious,"

 "Oh, my dear wasp," He smirked evilly. "Now that sounds like fun!"

 ~Felix Sr's House~

 "So are we back as a team?!" Vinne asked, flying around Felix's head as he placed a crystal on his window seal. "We were the best team!"

 "Well, I had every intention of leaving this world behind," Felix admitted as he waved his hand over the crystal, causing it to light up. "But apparently, it had no intention of leaving me behind so I guess we'll be working together but there will be some house rules. No dangerous pranks and you need to listen to me,"

 "Of course, of course!" Vinne grinned, placing his wings behind his head. "Ah this is gonna be great!"

 "I'm glad you think so," Felix replied as someone knocked on the door. "Vinne, stay here,"

 "Yes boss!" He declared, saluting him with his wing. Felix rolled his eyes and opened the door to his study before heading into the hallway as Bridgette let in Amelie. "Amelie, what are you doing here?"

 "I came because I need to talk with you,"

All of Fanon!Chloe suddenly were gathering in the one place until some guys who looks familiar to them come into the place. At first, they didn’t know who he is until one of them are remembered him.

Arctique!Chloe: “So this is the guy who treated us as an irredeemable monster, huh?”

Medusa!Chloe: “Yep, an asshole who giving redemption to the whole grown ass adults who treated and manipulated us.”

Thomas astruc: “Hey guys take it easy, I’m just kidding and didn’t mean to hurt you. Isn’t you love to make Marinette and the others to suffer….”

A punch comes to his nuts who apparently Anatis!Chloe in the Valkyrie form who did that later followed by Chloe who wields Snake Miraculous to pull his beard which makes him kneeling on the ground. Later, three of them are surrounded that man and shows their cynical towards him.

Valkyrie!Chloe: “You can still talk guffaws like that in front of us and accusing us to make your virtual daughter to suffer.”

Medusa!Chloe: “I heard this big mouth labeled us as an anomaly just because we don’t same like his punching bag.”

Arctique!Chloe: “Tsk, let’s give this scumbag what he deserves.”

Thomas astruc: “Guys, please I’m sorry and I…promise…to give my creation the truly redemption in the next story…”

Valkyrie!Chloe: “Nice try, Tommy. Your promise isn’t matter anymore for all of us.”

The attack keeps coming to Thomas even they didn’t give any chance for him to defend himself. Not far from there. Canon!Chloe who’s seen that didn’t expect watching herself from another universe who wields Miraculous giving some justice for everything Thomas gave to her. Even though, she feels this is will not restore what has been passed.

MQ Rewrite!Chloe: “I know this is won’t change anything for you. Hopefully, he won’t hurt you any further after what you've been through lately.”

Canon!Chloe: Am I will become holder like you in the future?

MQ Rewrite!Chloe: “I really hope like that but after what you have been through, it’s better for you to stay away for a while because I’m afraid they’re just using you as the object to preaching you with some nonsense toxic positivity from Ladybug and your sister.”

Note: These chloe are from my favorite fics that I’ve read on AO3. Even though, they aren’t really like that in their fics and I used them as a plot device in this short fic. The last one was from my fic that still on going 😆✌️
