I'd like to see Adrien snapped at Marinette for the whole lies she told him, even better if it happen after reveal so all lies will come to light and break up would be nice. But i really have no faith in this show anymore because if anything this show will go either Adrien get angry at Marinette but will forgive her a minute later because him being angry make her sad, Adrien get angry and left but something happen that make him misunderstood something and end up forgiving her despite everything like Kuro neko or it will happen in erased timeline a la chat Blanc or ephemeral.

Yeah I agree with you, like I want him to forgive Marinette for the lies and for them to make up (after he sets some boundaries with her that she makes sure to respect) but I'd want there to be tension between them for a few episodes, and for him to get to be angry at Marinette for a few days first.

Like we've seen Ladybug get to be angry at Chat Noir in the NY special and even to say that she doesn't trust him anymore for simply not informing her that there was a change of plans at the last minute and he'd be leaving Paris after all. Chat should get to be at LEAST as angry at her as she was at him in that scene.

Sparrow:(deep voice) You've come all the way from Paris to help us out? Cat Noir: Yeah! We thought it'd be friendly to give you a hand in honor of French American Friendship Week! (Techlonizer gets down and uses its laser beam as Ladybug, Cat Noir, Uncanny Valley and Sparrow split up.) Sparrow:(deep voice) See that?! They don't need anyone's permission to take action! Ladybug: That's right! He never asks for anything! DO YOU, CAT NOIR! Uncanny Valley: Sparrow, did you warn Knightowl and Majestia? (she punches Techlonizer) Sparrow:(deep voice) I couldn't! But you know what?! -- we don't need anyone's permission either! Uncanny Valley: Are you sure you wanna step out of the procedure? Sparrow:(deep voice) This is our chance to prove to them they were just like these two! Autonomous, bonded together but trust and super efficient! Ladybug: "Just go and rest easy! Yeah, leave Paris with me!" Cat Noir: I-I didn't know I was going to leave! It was a last-minute decision, that's all! (Techlonizer hits Ladybug and Cat Noir. Sparrow and Uncanny Valley are shocked.) Ladybug: Do you realize that because of you there's no one left in Paris to protect the city?! (Techlonizer runs away efficiently.) Ladybug: He's running away! Sparrow:(deep voice) You sound like Captain Obvious! Ladybug: Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving?! Cat Noir: I was afraid you'd get angry! Ladybug: And you were right, because as you can see, I AM angry!! Scene: New York City. Uncanny Valley: Autonomous, bonded by trust and super-efficient?! Sparrow: (deep voice) Yeah, I might have overestimated them. (Techlonizer lands down. Uncanny Valley drops Sparrow.) Sparrow: (deep voice) Surrender, Techno-Pirate! There's nowhere to run now![Superpower Sequence] [Cut to Cat Noir] Cat Noir:Cataclysm! (Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm.) [Cut to Ladybug] Ladybug:Lucky Charm! (Ladybug summons a bicycle pump.) Cat Noir: A bicycle pump? What are you gonna do with that? Ladybug: I may have an idea, but you wouldn't like it! Techlonizer: Why run away when I can finally get me revenge by eliminating the beloved kids of AMERICA'S MOST BELOVED HEROES! Cat Noir: M'lady, I didn't tell you because I was afraid of losing your trust! Ladybug: Well, I can't trust you anymore, can I?!

Side Note: I still think Ladybug was way angrier at Chat Noir than she deserved to be, especially considering that the Shanghai special canonically took place before this one, and she didn't give any notice that she was leaving when she totally could have (Chat didn't either, but it was last minute for him so he probably didn't get the chance).

But yeah. If Ladybug gets to berate Chat about the consequences of his actions in the middle of a fight and say that she's lost trust in him simply because he didn't tell her that he was forced to leave Paris at the last minute, then Adrien should be allowed to also say a similar level of stuff about being angry and losing trust in her over her lying about what kind of a person his father is and how he died.

[princess-of-the-corner]

so. Are there like, established parameters about what the miracle cure can and can't fix in canon. I have it in my head that it only ever repairs akuma attacks because that sounds like the reasonable set up but I could be wrong.

kiiiinda?

So it can only repair things caused by the Akuma/Sentimonster, even if it's tangential. But there are some things that may be either a limitation or just part of Marinette's headspace.

So like. When LB defeats Feast and uses the power. It restores the Guardian Temple and revives all the Guardians as if nothing had happened. But it doesn't take them to an alternate Timeline where the Temple never fell, nor does it go 'the Guardians were restored but would've died by now. Makes sense. That's a limitation.

But then you have Dark Cupid. Where Chloé earlier in the episode had gotten Adrien to sign a poster for her, and when Sabrina was hit with Dark Cupid's power she gratified it. But Miraculous Cure didn't erase the grafiti, which seems in-character for something petty Marinette would choose to do if she had control over it, though this may be subconscious.

That said!

Another limitation is that they can only erase damage with the Lucky Charm summoned for the specifc event. So there's two examples of this:

1.) in the NY Special, Ladybug summons a Lucky Charm to use against Techlonizer in NYC. At the same time, a Sentimonster of Robustus is attacking Paris. Ladybug uses Miraculous Cure to fix the damage Techlonizer did, but it doesn't fix the disaster Senti!Robustus caused

Ladybug also can't hop over to Paris to fix things there anymore because the Senti is already gone, so she can't 'target' him so to speak and repair his damage.

2.) In Destruction, we have Chat accidentally hitting Monarch with Cataclysm. When Monarch flees the fight, he takes the Lucky Charm with him. So Ladybug can't use it to cast the Cure, and thus Gabriel is stuck with the Cataclysm injury slowly killing him.

Chapter Warning: Violence, death of a minor character, blood.

A/n: Key Notes about this chapter:

There will be more Kwami Swapping. I know it can be annoying, but hey...we'll see who gets who this round.

New characters are appearing as a teaser. Fully revealed in the next and final chapter of this arc.

Ladybug and Chat Noir are gonna be super OP down the line. Then again, so are Bakugo and Deku.

As requested by you folks, more of the American teen heroes xD

So with that, let's get to part three~

   “We need to find Empress Tigresse and King Stinger!” Chat Noir argued, the two having been called by Lady Dragon, the heroine reporting that Techlonizer was spotted with some allies and would need backup. 

   “I know! But we need to prioritize this first!” Ladybug explained as she was swinging into the scene, already ready to summon her Lucky Charm.

    “Don’t be scared~“ Techlonizer chuckled, watching the United Heroez carefully with a dark smirk, “I only wish to finish what I started~”

    Ladybug was about to throw her yo-yo up in the air, but suddenly felt her communicator go off. Biting her lower lip, she picked up and answering it, frantically hissed. 

      “Kinda busy here! Still have to de-akumatize Techlonizer!”

    “It’s about Zoe. She was akumatized and we need backup” King Stinger spoke from the comm as his face was shown on Ladybug’s screen, frowning. In the background, Empress Tigresse, Pixie Girl and The Sorcerer were doing their best to stop Sole Crusher from stomping on anymore people.

    “We need you here. NOW!”

    “I’ll go!” Rody’s voice called as he was coming out of the fire, soot covered his body from head to toe, Pino flying frantically above him while the ladybug and kitten stayed on Rody’s shoulders, “You deal with these guys, I’ll deal with Zoe!“

    Ladybug had so many questions. However, her eyes landed on the briefcase that was in Rody’s hand and immediately understood. Nodding her head, she soon rushed to get Techlonizer and his crew, Chat Noir reluctantly following after her. 

    Lady Dragon landed next to Rody, already turning into her full dragon form, “Hop on. I’ll go with you.”

    The Otheon thief didn’t argue as he jumped on her back, the two now soaring to the sky to locate where King Stinger and the others would be.

    “NO!” Nine yelled, about to chase them but not before both Deku and Bakugo jumped in together, kicking the armoured man to another building to stop him.

    The current Holder of One-For-All paused in his steps as Bakugo went straight ahead to use his Exploding Gaunlets towards the villain, looking around for someone. 

     When his eyes landed on Bonnie Blanche, he rushed over to her, “Bon, I need you.”

     Perking up with a bright smile as she was called on, the rabbit themed heroine looked over at him and hopped over to him, “What do you need, Deku?”

     “We need to head to places and pick up some people. Will you help me?”

    The rabbit heroine nodded, already opening a burrow with a twirl of her umbrella. Taking his hand, Bonnie Blanche soon jumped in with Deku in tow, and the two ending up in the “warren” where the other portals were. 

    “So what is it that you’re planning?” Bonnie Blanche asked before she saw the Dragon Pendant in hand and blinked when Izuku pointed at a portal.

     “First I have to go to Shoto-kun and get the Bee Miraculous back.”

     “But why?” 

     Deku was about to explain when he shivered for a second, frowning when he glanced over somewhere, Bonnie Blanche following his line of sight. He didn’t know why, but he felt like someone was watching him. However, the presence was gone as soon as he was pinpointing it out, making Deku narrow his eyes.

    “D-deku?” Bonnie Blanche asked worriedly, snapping Deku out of it.

    “…Sorry,” The green haired hero turned to her and smiled weakly, then looked determined, “Anyways! I have a plan!”

    Rody looked down at the briefcase on his lap with a somber look, pursing his lips as he touched over the top of it. Taking a deep breath, he opened it with a click of the locks, peeking inside. 

    There, he saw a four sectioned square casings with a circular center and a gold outline. In each section of the square are four different objects and in a different color with a darker-shaded circled symbol in the center. One of the objects missing was a red section with a darker eagle symbol. The objects that were inside are some sort of traditional looking cloak pin, some sort of ring, and feathered earrings. 

     But his eyes was mostly focused on the middle one, which seems to be some sort of hair tie with tribunal patterns on it. Unconsciously, he reached out for the hair tie and once it was in the palm of his hand, a warm glow formed above the object. Rody didn’t feel scared about this, almost feeling a sense of dejavu as a little Kwami like creature appeared before him. This little one looked a lot like Pino in a way, only their body was green with red, black and white patterned wings along with their feathered top.

    Opening it’s dark beady eyes, the creature cooed softly in warmth.

    “Greetings, my new Chosen. My name is Talli.”

   “I’m Rody.” The boy introduced himself immediately, not noticing Fei was looking back at him questionably, “I’m sorry that you’re stuck with me. Your master…“

   “—Has completed his mission. Now your destiny shall begin,” Talli watched as Rody looked down at the Miraculous in hand, his eyes sorrowful and unsure, “Why do you not have confidence in yourself, Young Rody?”

    “Because all my life, I’ve done bad things to survive. I had to cheat, lie and do anything so I could place food for the table for my siblings. Try to give them a way to have a bright future when I couldn’t,” Rody murmured as he squeezed the Miraculous in hand, “I do not deserve to be a Miraculous holder, especially not the new Guardian. Can’t I give it to Pixie Girl or The Sorcerer? They were looking for your Master and you guys—“

    “Pala would NEVER give the Miracle Box to someone he was not sure of. The Spirits of his ancestors has led you to him as the next successor.“ Talli said with a sure tone, as Rody barked a laugh.

   “No. It was a coincidence that we met. A mistake.“

   “There is no such thing as coincidences. Do not mock a dead man’s wish for us to be in good hands. Your hands.”

    Rody went silent as Talli continued.

   “You are destined for great things. It starts now. I am sure your mother would be very proud of you and the man that you’ve grown up to be.”

   “M-My mum?” Rody breathed out as he looked at the Kwami in confusion, “How—?”

    “Rody?”

    The brunet snapped his head towards the sound of a woman’s voice and gasped, his eyes widening in shock at the sight before him. Behind a glowing Pino was a visage of a middle aged woman dressed in a pilot’s suit with tanned skin, light brown hair like Rody’s that was tied as a side ponytail and bright silver like eyes. 

    “M…Mum…?”

    Rody shakily reached a hand out to the spirit before him, tears welling in his eyes as the woman smiled softly, reaching her own gloved hand towards him.

    “You’re so grown up. Time sure flies.” The woman laughed softly as Rody sobbed openly, wishing to reach up and hug her.

   “Mum! Y-You’re here. R-roro and Lala, they—“

    “I know. I’ve been watching you kids the whole time. I’m sorry that Ed had left you guys alone. I’m sorry that I wasn’t there for you when you needed me.”

    Rody shook his head, sniffling, “N-No, it’s not your fault. If anything I…I’m sorry I let you down. I lost my way…”

     “And you can find your way back. Rody,” The woman said firmly as she reached to touch his son’s cheek, softening a little, “It’s never too late to make a change. I’ve always told you to always take a leap of faith on anything your heart desires. Just as I know that flying is your dream. A big part of you that will never go away.”

    “Mum, I have to look after the kiddos…”

    “And you do a wonderful job, you’re the best big brother they could love and ask for. I’m very proud of you so far, and hope you continue to grow…” The woman softened as she then breathed out, “But you also have to take care of yourself too, my little wingspan.”

    “Rody, we’re here!” Fei interrupted, the dragon flying near to where Soul Crusher was, already cornering Pixie Girl and the Sorcerer, both King Stinger and Empress Tigresse missing in action.

    “Do what you gotta do, Rody. I know you will know what to do in the end.”

    Rody snapped his head to his mother and shook his head, “N-No, no no, you—you just got here! I have so many things to say, so many things to ask…please don’t go yet, Mum—“

   The woman smiled as she touched over where Pino was just floating motionlessly, and chuckled, “I’m not that far away. If you ever need me, you can always talk to this cutie right here. I’ll always be with you, Roro and Lala…I love you guys. This isn’t a goodbye. We’ll meet each other again.”

   Rody sniffled, raising his hands up to catch Pino, who was floating down onto his palms. The woman slowly vanished into sparkles of light, leaving Rody to cry silently and hug his bird companion tightly to his chest. Once he got his bearings together, Talli looked to him with a knowing smile.

    “So, Rody Soul…what shall you do now?“

    He was quiet for a moment, chewing his lower lip as he thought for a moment. With a determined face, he took off his own hair tie and tied his hair with the Miraculous on, tightening his ponytail as he looked to the Kwami. 

    “Never too late to make a change, right?” Rody told the bird like creature as Pino woke up and rested on his shoulder with a chirp. Rody looked over to Sole Crusher then turned to Talli with a grin.

    “So, what should I do?”

    Talli chuckled in amusement, nodding their head, “All you have to say is; Talli, Soul of Unity.”

    “STOP SCREWING AROUND!”

    An explosion went off as both Ladybug and Chat Noir moved out of the way when Bakugo landed a hit on the bandaged covered man, sending him flying.

    “Mummy Bastard…don’t underestimate me!”

    “Are you okay?” Ladybug landed beside the blond, noticing then that one of his gauntlets were missing, then thought with an impressed smile, ’He sacrificed his own gear…’

     “LOOK ALIVE PEOPLE!” Fury shouted as he and his other ghost partners flew above them, tackling the beast like man.

     Next to them, Sparrow, Uncanny Valley and Tsukuyomi went after the woman with hair extending quirk.

    “He’s right! We should take down Techlonizer and that other guy with him, and fast!” Chat Noir stated to Bakugo and Ladybug, twirling his bo-staff in his hand, “What’s the plan?”

    “Judging with the fights against the pros, the new guy has more than one quirk,” Bakugo murmured as he looked to where Sir Nighteye  and Eraserhead were up against Nine, then back at the duo, “You two deal with the Akumatized villain. I’ll help the heroes with those other freaks.” 

    “We’ve got your backup, Kacchan!”

    Both Bakugo and Ladybug looked up and spotted Deku coming out from Bonnie Blanche’s portal, both he and the rabbit heroine were being followed by a few people.

    “Wha…?” 

    Ladybug was surprised to see not just Carapace and Queen Beebeside Deku, but it seems there are new faces. The spotted heroine felt her head spin, before looking at Deku for an explanation.

     “Okay, I can totally explain~”

     “Anyways, I have a plan!” 

     Deku soon was popping his head into a portal nearby, reaching his arm out before pulling someone in. Glitter Gilt yelped as she looked around in surprise before looking back at him, then at Bonnie Blanche.

    “Errrr, what’s up guys?” She asked as Deku was looking into another portal.

    “Sabrina-san, power down for a moment, I need Daizzi for someone else.” He told her, soon reaching both his arms out into the portal to pull in King Stinger and Empress Tigresse.

    The Bee Hero looked confused as he watched Glitter Gilt powered down, the Pig Kwami falling into her hands. Although Empress Tigresse whirled around to Deku to ask for an explanation, but Deku raised his hand up in front of her, shaking his head.

    “No time to explain. Power down and hand me the Tiger Miraculous. Shoto, you as well. I will need Pollen.” Deku said all this calmly while he took the Pig Miraculous from Sabrina.

    “What’s going on?” Shoto asked as he powered down, feeding Pollen before seeing Deku reaching into another portal once more, pulling in Rockershella, Feathertop and Cobalt Bull. 

    Deku told them to power down as well before looking back at the fire and ice hero.

    “I need to give proper Miraculous to their permanent and respective owners. For this plan to succeed, I believe this is the best course of action.” He stated, taking the Bee Miraculous from Shoto before handing it to a gobsmacked Chloe, then reaching into another portal.

    Sabrina, looking confused as Deku passed her the Tiger Miraculous to her, looked over at him, “Does Ladybug know you’re doing this?”

    One knowing smile told her that, no, she didn’t.

    Deku pulled Ubayagi into the warren with them, smiling softly at her once the Goat Heroine de-transformed and handed her Miraculous to him.

    “So, um, w-what are we doing right now?” Nathaniel asked as his Miraculous was taken and suddenly was presented with…The Peacock Miraculous?

    “As I’ve said, I’ve got the perfect line-up for everyone for this battle. Especially since we’re gonna be getting new recruits today,” Deku hummed, twirling the Turtle Miraculous in hand before handing it to Nino.

    Which made Nino push the Miraculous back to Deku with a forlorn look.

    “Are you crazy!? I screwed up as Carapace, you should give this to Nath and let him be Pridwen!”

    “I second THAT. Why are you giving me the Bee again when Sabrina was doing brilliantly more so as the Bee Heroine?” Chloe argued, although Deku just looked at them as if their question was confounded. 

    “But you guys never screwed up as Carapace and Queen Bee?”

     Nino snorted, “Do you not remember what happened with Sombre Swift?”

     “That wasn’t your fault though?” Deku argued gently, while Nino was shaking his head, “Nino…”

     “To be honest, Nino, I think Izuku has a point,” Nathaniel interrupted as he looked to Nino and softened, “While I know that Master Fu would be disappointed in me giving up my mantle for the Turtle, something in my whole being tells me you were the true holder for Wyazz than I.”

    Nino stared at his friend and then gripped the bracelet in his hand, “…I don’t—”

    “You have always been a loyal friend. Protective and true where it counts. And you’re not the only one that makes mistakes here,” The red head reasoned as he gave a smile, “So…if Izuku thinks you should be Carapace again, I do not mind giving you back the mantle.”

    Nino sniffled for a moment, giving a one arm hug to Nathaniel and smiled, “…Thanks, man.”

    He placed the bracelet on and watched it glow, Wyazz appearing before him and was surprised when the Kwami hugged his face.

     “Duuuude~!” The Turtle Kwami let out a happy cry, which made Nino cry and pat the little guy’s head.

    “Duuuude~!”

     Meanwhile, Chloe stared down at the hairpin in hand then shook her head, walking towards Sabrina. She tried to hand it back to her, but was surprised when Sabrina refused.

    “Pollen knows you’re her true holder. And so do I.” Sabrina explained as she smiled at her best friend, “You may think that being Queen Bee was a fluke, but I’ve always believed you were made to be her,”

     “B-But…I’ve worked so hard being good…wh-what if I fall back to being the old Chloe again?”

     “That won’t happen,” Shoto tilted his head as he stepped beside her, “But then again, I do not know what ‘the old you’ was like. But Chloe-san is still Chloe-san at the end of the day. Someone that wishes to help her friends and do good. Someone exceptional.”

    Sabrina was relieved at his words, and she turned her head to watch Pollen appear before Chloe.

    “My Queen,” The swami bowed her head as she smiled happily, “Whatever you decide, I shall support you. But as I’ve told Queen Sabrina, you are my true Queen.”

    Deku watched quietly as Chloe teared up, but soon placed the hairpin into her hair and brought her confident face on. Good, he would think with a smile.

   “So…I shall not be holding a Miraculous this time?” Shoto asked, noticing Kirishima and Yaoyorozu were not given a Miraculous either.

   Deku grinned, “No. But I do have some ideas for you, Shoto. The same with Yaomomo and Eijiro.”

   Nathaniel hummed, looking down at the brooch in hand. Curious, he placed it over his chest and watched it glow, Duusu appearing before him with a smile

   “Oooohhh~ So cute~ And warm!” They cooed, nuzzling into the red head’s cheek. “Shall we?”

    “I suppose we shall,” Nathaniel chuckled, stroking the top of the Kwami’s head with a finger.

    Sabrina placed her Miraculous on and watched Rooar appear in front of her.

    “Oohhh I can sense a fighting spirit in you~“ The Tiger Kwami said with a grin, “Ready to fight, partner~?”

    “I-If you will have me!” The girl in glasses smiled, nodding her head.

    Momo watched them before looking over at Deku, “So who are getting the Dragon, Ox, Pig and Goat then?”

    Deku looked thoughtful for a moment.

   “I…might have an idea for the Dragon. But I’m gonna need help with the rest,” Looking to her, Shoto and Eijiro, he smiled, “This is where you guys come in.”

    Ladybug did notice that Momo, Shoto and Eijiro weren’t here and looked to Izuku questionably.

     “Where did they go?”

    “They have their own missions. Now…” Deku was looking at the new Dragon Heroine beside him, “Introduce yourself please~”

    Looking unsure, the young Dragon Heroine sighed before looking to Ladybug, smiling, “I’m…Zhulong. Nice to meet you, Ladybug. I’m a huge fan!”

   “Indeed she is. She even wears a costume of you—“ Izuku gulped a chuckle when the embarrassed Dragon Heroine nudged at him.

   “Er, nice to meet you, Zhulong?” Ladybug smiled a little before looking back at the One-For-All user, “And the rest?”

    Deku smirked, tilting his head, “On the way~”

  Shoto should’ve known that he he was going to be faced with a challenge. 

    “So we’re going to convince my half sister to de-akumatize herself, and if that doesn’t work, we’re gonna defeat her and get her to use the Pig Miraculous?” Queen Bee said in a deadpan tone, her and Shoto arriving back to the area where Sole Crusher was, “Yeah, as if the first plan will happen.”

   “We’ll have to try.” The fire and ice quirk user hummed as they rushed towards where Pixie Girl and Sorcerer were fending Sole Crusher back, but then blinked when two new faces arrived in the scene.

   “Lady Dragon!…And, um…?” Queen Bee looked astounded at a colourful bird themed hero next to the Chinese heroine, and frowned, “Who’s this clown?”

    “Thunderbird,” The new hero grinned as he saluted, “Nice to meet you, honeybee~” 

    The bee heroine narrowed her eyes, finding that cheeky look very familiar. 

    “About time bloody reinforcements are here!” The Sorcerer shouted at Shoto and Queen Bee and blinked, “Where’s King Stinger, and who…..?”

    A small smile was on Shoto’s face and Queen Bee raised a brow, and the magician like hero felt stupid for asking.

     “She’s gotten stronger since stepping on those civilians. We need a plan,” Pixie Girl breathed out with tiredness, “I’m already running out of juice as it is and might transform back…”

     “I have an idea,” Thunderbird raised a hand up before looking at Lady Dragon, “Distract Sole Crusher, I’ll go from behind. Honeybee, Candy Cane, with me.”

    “…Candy Cane?” Shoto raised a brow before Queen Bee snorted.

    “I think that’s you.”

    Lady Dragon looked at Thunderbird for a moment before touching his arm, looking worriedly at him, “Be safe.”

     The bird themed hero smiled, winking, “Naturally. I ain’t gonna lose here. Just have my back, m’kay?”

     Lady Dragon nodded, transforming into Lady Eagle and soon was flying into the sky to be in the akuamtized giantess’ face, making Sole Crusher roar and try to swat her away while Pixie Girl and the Sorcerer followed her lead. Thunderbird pursed his lips, turning to jump high onto a building, with Shoto and Queen Bee following after him.

    “So what’s your plan?” The Bee Heroine asked as Thunderbird landed gracefully onto the top of a tall building, staring at Sole Crusher.

    “First, we’re gonna need to distract Sole Crusher before I make my move and use my Miraculous.” Thunderbird hummed before looking at the two, “Honeybee, since I know your Miraculous can freeze things on the spot, I need you to sting at Sole Crusher to keep her still. As for you, Candy Cane, I’m going to need you at the ready when we destroy the akumatized object.”

    “It’s her shoes.” Shoto pointed out, and Thunderbird nodded.

    “Okay, good. So that means that once I got her distracted enough, you’re gonna have to use those quirks of yours to destroy them.”

     While that was going on, Lady Eagle shifted to Lady Dragon once more, flying over the skies as Pixie Girl and The Sorcerer were trying to keep her in place when they noticed Sole Crusher froze with wide eyes, looking at something. 

    “VENOM!” 

   Queen Bee yelled as she managed to prick the akumatized giantess and Shoto was quick to use his ice to freeze her into place just in case the Venom won’t last long.

    Thunderbird made a quick dash had landed onto Sole Crusher’s back and placed his hand onto her, his eyes glowing a soft golden hue. He soon raised his weapon, which happened to be a golden sickle, and waved it in the air.

   “Sorry, Zoe. Spirit Form: Unity.“

     Thunderbird felt the world melt around him into darkness, his body glowing as he stood alone in the abyss of blackness he was now standing on. Frowning, he walked around for a moment to find out where he was until he heard quiet sobbing. He followed the sound, letting his feet lead him until he stopped by a hunched looking figure. Zoe.

   Softening, the hero walked over to the girl and touched her head, making the blonde jump in surprise. Whirling around, tears were streaking down her face with her lower lip quivering, shoulders and chest heaving in a way as if trying to hold back from bawling.

   “Zoe…”

   “Leave me alone…” The small whimper came from the girl, curling herself back up again pathetically.

    “I can’t. You have to come back to your senses, Zoe.” Thunderbird murmured as he watched her, and Zoe scoffed.

   “It’s not like anyone wants me back. My father doesn’t. Rody certainly doesn’t.”

    Thunderbird tried to mentally not wince at that, and feeling even more awful that the statement she said was totally true. But it wasn’t the time to dwell on that.

   “Be as it may, if you don’t snap out of it, you’re gonna end up hurting more people than you are right now,”

   “I don’t care anymore,” Zoe murmured as she buried her face into her knees, hugging her legs close to her chest, “I just wanna disappear.”

    “Oh grow up, Zoe.” Thunderbird almost lost his temper and took a deep breath, noticing that there was a shadow-y butterfly lingering close by, “Seriously. Are you just going to keep feeling sorry for yourself?”

    Zoe looked up at him angrily with tears, “Why do you even care?!”

   “I don’t! I just want you to stop thinking of just yourself and hurting everyone around you!”

    Meanwhile, outside in reality, Lady Dragon transformed back to her humanoid form and stood with Pixie Girl and The Sorcerer, Shoto and Queen Bee rushing behind them. They all watched how  a glowing Thunderbird was so still and quiet along with a frozen looking Sole Crusher, as if time stopped for the both of them.

   “So this must be the power of his Miraculous?” The Sorcerer hummed, tapping his chin as he tilted his head, “What now? Do we wait? My magic could dispel the Akuma…however, I am afraid my power is not enough for one this big?”

    “We should get the Akuma now while he has a hold on her. At least when it breaks free, we could contain it before Ladybug gets here.” Lady Dragon murmured as she was soon approaching to Sole Crusher’s shoes, but was stopped by Queen Bee, “Wha—?”

    “We have to wait for Ladybug,” She stated to Lady Dragon with a frown, “Meaning we don’t touch until we can get in contact with her.”

    “It will be too late by then, and I don’t think Thunderbird can hold Sole Crusher for this long.”

      Suddenly, all five heroes heard a sound and whipped their heads to see Chimera rushing from building to building, jumping over them to reach behind Thunderbird’s back. Queen Bee growled as she was soon rushing u a building to stop him, Shoto using his ice to make steps for her to use to get up there. 

     “Don’t you touch him!” The Bee Heroine yelled as she was readying her fists, knocking the the wolf like man back from pouncing at Thunderbird, Shoto following her to make an ice wall in between them. 

   Lady Dragon, Pixie Girl and The Sorcerer following after them, ready to defend them off from the villain, but soon were surprised as a bunch of Nomus appeared out of nowhere.

    “W-what? How is this possible?” Shoto looked back to see the creatures, noticing the black swarming portals and frowned, ‘Does this mean Kurogiri is somewhere around here? But how?’

    Thunderbird blinked as he felt his surroundings shake for a moment, looking around before glancing over at Zoe now curled into a fetal position. He didn’t have time for this!

    “Okay, look,” The bird Miraculous holder crouched down before her as he rested his arms over his knees, looking at her tiredly, “I…am not good at this whole hero’s speech thing. Heck, I don’t think I’m cut out to be a damn hero in the first place.”

    He noticed Pino’s transparent form floating above him along with Lady, and then Lucky curling next to him. Pursing his lips, he placed his hand out for a moment, feeling Lady landing on his palm as she gave a soft ruby like glow.

    “I wonder…” He murmured as he closed his eyes and then whispered quietly, “…Lucky Charm.”

    A warmth spread from his fingertips as a weight was now placed in his hand. Opening his eyes, he blinked when he saw it was—

   “…Heh, what a terrible irony,”

   Zoe looked up at Thunderbird’s words, then her eyes widened as she sat up, seeing it were sneakers. The very ones that look a lot like what Rody bought her years ago, only…it was red with black polka dots.

   “…How—?”

   “I suppose my Lucky Charm wanted you to remember where you came from.”

    Thunderbird hummed as he saw how Zoe’s eyes wavered, almost teary as he then sighed.

    “It’s not too late to turn a new leaf. You can’t go back to what was, but you can move forward for a better tomorrow.”

    Zoe pursed her lips, as she sniffed. Thunderbird noticed that an outline of a butterfly appeared over her face, knowing that whoever has the Butterfly Miraculous now was trying to feed more negative energy.

   “B-But…I gotta c-crush those in my way…otherwise t-they’ll step all over me—“ 

   “You don’t have to crush anyone. There’s no such thing as winners OR losers,” The hero hummed as he felt Lucky nuzzling against his leg, reaching out to pet him, “There’s just…people. With a lot of unique differences and individualities…”

   Back outside,Lady Dragon flew over to where Thunderbird was, seeing the hero hasn’t move and eyes still glowing, “Thunderbird! Hurry it up in there—“

    “I’m not finished!“ The bird like hero bellowed, his voice mixed with various of others, which shocked the Chinese heroine.

    Thunderbird looked up at the darkness with a frown, before looking back at Zoe.

    “Zoe, you can start over. You can make new friends. You don’t have to take the abuse your father gives you. Just. Be. Yourself.”

   Zoe looked at him, and Thunderbird took this to continue.

   “You might trip, you might fall. And there will be always someone to help you back up…do not let the voices in your head win!”

    Zoe pursed her lips while thinking, and soon she was holding her head and groaning, “Get. Out. Of. My. Head….” 

    Thunderbird smiled as he was soon pushed out from Zoe’s head—

    Shoto managed to freeze Chimera in place, but then looked up when he heard a scream and saw that Sole Crusher broke away from the Akuma’s control, turning back into regular size Zoe. Thunderbird managed to create wings behind his back and flew to catch her, the two landing back on the ground.

    “NOW!”

    The Sorcerer yelled as he was spinning his star staff and raised it in the air, making a bubble around the GIANT AKUMA trying to attack them. Pixie Girl soon used her own magic to sprinkle over the bubble to create her own magical sphere to keep it in. Lady Dragon flew above them to aid Shoto into keeping Chimera frozen, and Queen Bee rushed to meet with Thunderbird, who was checking over Zoe.

   “W-wha…?” Zoe looked around for a moment, holding her head and frowning, “What happened?”

   “Quick, give her this!” Queen Bee was holding out what seems to be a pink anklet, and Thunderbird looked at her questionably.

   “Is that—?”

    “Zoe Lee.”

    Zoe looked up at the Bee Heroine, who rolled her eyes before pushing the Pig Miraculous into her hands.

    “I don’t have to explain. But if you wanna be useful, then help us.”

     “What are we doing here?”

     Eijiro frowned as he and Momo were now standing in what seems to be a police station. Bonnie Blanche brought them here to find the two individuals for the Ox and Goat Miraculous. 

    “Deku knew that we would find the perfect holders for these particular Miraculous. And I trust him.” Momo breathed out as she then was stopping to a black door, reaching to open it and step in.

    The two blinked when finding a blonde haired girl and a short dark haired girl sitting near a table, looking frightened and Eijiro placed his hands up to show they weren’t dangerous.

    “It’s okay. We’re friends…w-we were sent by Ladybug. Are you…Aurore-san?”

    “—And Mirielle-san?” Momo added.

    Aurore and Mireille blinked as they both nodded, making Eijiro and Momo relieved.

    “Ladybug is looking for us?” Mirielle asked.

    “Well, technically she and some others are hoping you’d help join the fight against the forces of evil. But, you don’t have to if you don’t think you can.” Eijiro assured as Momo was holding out the Ox and Goat Miraculous.

    “Aurore Beauréal. Mireille Caquet. We need your help.”

    Naomasa Tsukauchi was stepping into his office when he saw a bright light, blinking in surprise before getting into gear. He rushed over to the room where he had left the poor French girls in, and once he arrived, the room was empty. 

    “Wha—?”

   A laugh echoed behind him and the detective turned his head to see Crawler grinning at him.

   “Looks like someone swiped up your guests. Wonder who~?”

    “Crawler!”

   The vigilante shrugged, Crawler walking over to the room and then spotted what seems to be a piece of paper with writing on it. Picking it up, he read it quietly, then laughed as he placed a hand over his face, making Tsukauchi look at him weirdly.

   “What? What is it?”

  Crawler shook his head, a sharp grin stretching on his face, “Looks like things are going to get interesting~”

   ‘She’s quicker than I imagined.’

   Tsukuyomi growled as he was dodging Slice’s sharp hair extensions from hitting him along with her knives being thrown at him, Uncanny Valley and Sparrow aiding him to taking her down. The Jet Black Hero looked around, seeing his allies having their own battles going on. The Ghost Force already taking down the Mummy fellow, Deku and Bakugo were already having difficulty taking Nine down along with Ladybug and Chat Noir taking down Techlonizer as well. While the Pros and other Miraculous heroes were trying to help out, many Nomus ended up randomly popping out, making things quite difficult.

   Which left himself with his two teammates to take down the red haired villainess.

   ‘I need an opening!’

   “THIS IS PATHETIC!” Slice shouted with an evil grin, but yelped when Sparrow used their birdarangs at her.

    “UNCANNY! NOW!”

    The robotic girl flew above and raised her hand, shooting a laser beam at Slice, slicing bits of her hair completely.

    “THIS IS IT!” Tsukuyomi yelled, about to use Dark Shadow’s abilities until he saw that Slice did not appreciate her long luscious hair being cut off.

    Rage built in her eyes as she crazily started shooting spikes of her hair at them like needles, “HOW DARE YOU!”

     Sparrow dodged the flying projectiles with ease, bringing their skateboard down to ride away from it while Uncanny flew in the air. Unfortunately, a few embedded themselves onto Uncanny’s legs, making her yell out as she suddenly fell into an alleyway, crashing.

    “AEON!”

     Sparrow was quick to rush to check on her, seeing how the robot like girl powered down, showing the very hurt Aeon. Removing her mask, Jess reached over to check on her sister, the voice changer on the ground.

    “Aeon, no, please…”

     Tsukuyomi was frozen on the spot, anger boiling in him but then blinked when he felt warmth in his cloak. Quickly, the bird headed hero took out the necklace that he had taken from the museum and saw the object glow. Lo and behold, a bird like creature appeared before him.

   “Hello, my little fledging~! My name is Liiri, the Kwami of Freedom!“ They introduced happily, tilting their head and winked, “All you have to say is: Liiri, Wings of Liberty!“

    Nodding his head, Tsukuyomi  placed the talon necklace around his neck and shouted, “Liiri! WINGS OF LIBERTY!”

    In a flash, Tsukuyomi  felt the sensation of his clothes changing, and power surging into him, surprising not just Jess and Aeon, but it sent fear onto Slice as well.

   “No…w-what is this?”

    A new hero stood in Eagle like garbs, the Miraculous holder looking down at his gloved his hands before looking to Slice.

    “I am Spilornis. And you shall be brought to justice!” The new Eagle Hero spoke in a powerful and deep voice, already bringing his fingers locked together and clothes his eyes, a golden feather floated in front of him, “Liberation.”

    Suddenly, a scream escaped Slice for a moment as her body was glowing gold after the feather flew and landed over her heart, embedding into her. But after a minute, the light died down from her body and soon she fell forward with a thump.

    “Wha…?” Jess stood up and helped Aeon up as well, watching how Slice was unconscious on the ground and twitching, “What just happened? What did you do?”

    “Liberation does not work with those that would reject it.”

    Suddenly, Liiri appeared on Spilornis’ shoulder, shocking all three teen heroes, although the Eagle Hero blinked slowly.

     “What…how are you here?”

     “Aren’t Kwamis usually, like, stuck in the user’s suit?” Jess added, as Liiri cackled softly. 

     “It would seem thanks to your quirk, little fledging, your Dark Shadow allowed me to appear before you and talk with you. Quite rare and useful, if I do say so~”

      Spilornis hummed, looking at Slice’s body, “She…rejected Liberation?”

    “Indeed. For you see, once the feather is inside the target’s body, whoever is the Eagle Miraculous holder can free the recipient from any mental or emotional restriction of their choosing that prevents the recipient from reaching their full potential, such as a code of ethics, a vow to not do something, or the fear of the destructive potential of one's own power.”

    “So by rejecting it…?”

    “Her will to not be taken over by Liberation adjusted the spell into knocking her out for a good while.”

    “So she rather just be a bad person than to be good? That’s messed up,” Jess huffed and Spilornis looked at her, then at Aeon.

     “Aeon-san?”

    “I-I am alright…” She hummed and looked down at her leg that had the piercings from Slice’s locks, frowning, “But I thought my robotic shell would prevent me from being hurt…I…should not be even hurt?”

      Jess winced, then saw how Spilornis was looking at her and sighed, “Aeon…t-there’s something I gotta tell you. That maybe our moms should have told you—”

     “DIIIIIIIIIIE!”

    Bakugo yelled as he was aiming his explosives towards Nine, Deku jumping over him to deliver his Delaware Smash towards the villain but the two were soon pushed back by two blue water dragons, making them crash into a building before them. 

   “We should assist them!” Spilornis told the two, Jess nodding as she was soon placing her hood and mask on, forgetting about her voice changer while she soon easily carried Aeon in her arms.

    “I’ll take Aeon somewhere to safety. You go ahead,” Sparrow said and with the help of her skateboard, the two soon made their escape, and the Eagle Hero rushed to help his friends.

   Ladybug looked up from fighting Techlonizer and her eyes widened at the sight of Deku and Bakugo and looked towards Chat Noir along with Hitoshi,The New Tiger Heroine: Rayures and The New Peacock Hero: Avarius.

    “Guys, we need to take Techlonizer down NOW!”

    Ladybug soon made a run, Carapace ducking and bringing his shield up above him, providing as a spring board and pushed Ladybug to jump high above the akumatized villain. Raising for a kick, Ladybug dived down to Techlonizer, knowing that he has to block, Hitoshi following at her side to use his capture weapon to tie his metal arms.

    “RAYURES, NOW!”

    “CLOUT!” The Tiger Heroine yelled, sliding towards Techlonizer and aimed for his chest, punching him into the sky.

     Shinso was quick to use his capture weapon once he was coming down, and tying him up.

    “CATACLYSM!” Chat Noir yelled, jumping over her to destroy his cuffs, watching it disintegrate and a LARGE dark butterfly flew out of it, trying to escape.

    Carapace was soon using his shield to trap them in, looking over to also see that some escaped but the Ghost Force managed to corner them with their own powers.

   “No more evil doing for you, akumas!” Ladybug shouted, already spinning her yo-yo and quickly grabbed all the akumas together, and purifying them.

    “Ladybug! Here too!”

    Star Stallion had opened a portal as Thunderbird was poking his head in, but managed to duck when a frozen looking Chimera being thrown to the ground. Stepping out, Pixie Girl, The Sorcerer, Queen Bee, Shoto and a blonde pig themed heroine stepped out.

   “The akuma?” Ladybug asked, but blinked when the Pig Heroine stepped forward, already holding out what seems to be a large gift-wrapped box.

   “They are all in here, um, L-Ladybug.”

   Ladybug stared at her for a moment, tentatively taking the box and actually observing her, “And what is your name?”

    “Mangalica Majesty.”

    “Huh, what a name…” Ladybug hummed before opening the box and was prepared for the huge akuma, the Miraculous Team already on breaking it apart to tiny ones, and Ladybug cleansing all of them.

    “Bug! Bakugo and Deku!” Chat Noir interrupted, pointing up to Nine pinning his sapphire stoned dragons onto the heroes, “We gotta help them!”

    “Everyone, help the other heroes with the Nomus. Chat, let’s go.”

   The cat hero nodded, as the two then raced to reach their friends.

    “It’s you and me now, Chaton!” Ladybug looked over at her partner, who nodded.

    “You and me against the world once more. Let’s save our friends!”

    The two then froze in their steps, feeling a sudden surge of something go from their heads to the very soles of their feet. Ladybug and Chat Noir looked at each other for a moment, before looking up when everything was suddenly dead silence. As if the world has stopped around them. Shaking their heads, the two rushed towards Bakugo and Deku, jumping up to them and landing on top of the dragons’ heads.

    “Hold on! We’re getting you out!” Chat Noir yelled, already trying to pry the dragon’s mouth to open and release Deku.   

    Ladybug was already next to Bakugo, when she heard him murmur. Squinting at him, she learned closer to hear what he was saying.

    “…Won’t…lose…”

    “Huh? What are you saying now?” 

    The blond growled in annoyance, as he looked up at him, “..I…won’t…lose…”

    Chat looked over at them before looking down at Deku, “So? Any other tricks up your sleeve?”

    Deku gave a small grin, as he laughed weakly, “…Just one. But d-do you trust me?”

     Chat Noir blinked, but nodded his head, “Course. After all we’ve been through so far…”

    Deku looked over at Ladybug and Bakugo now, coughing out their names, which made them look over at him questionably.

    “Ladybug…Kacchan….I-I…I have a crazy…idea…”

   Bakugo was quiet as Ladybug looked confused.

   “There’s…only one way…to defeat Nine…”

   Something in Bakugo’s eyes clicked at that moment, and Ladybug looked between them.

   “What? W-what is it?”

    Deku held out his hand to them, desperation and hope in his eyes. Ladybug still didn’t understand what was going through the green headed hero’s head, but she figured Bakugo could understand what were his intentions judging the way he was reaching out. She looked down at the Lucky Charm in her hand that she had summoned a while ago…which happened to be tablet. The very same one she uses that contained the copy of the Grimoire. 

   Marinette looked surprised at Master Fu using her phone to picture each page of the Grimoire and sending it to what seems to be a personal Ladybug Tablet.

   “So…what was the reason of doing this?” She asked as she observed him, the Master smiling mysteriously.

   “One of these days I shall be gone. Which means that before then, you’ll need to study up on the Grimoire in your spare time before I shall pass it down to you and the other Guardians.” He explained.

    Adrien, who was next to Marinette as he was flipping his own copy in his Chat Noir tablet, made an ‘ooh~’ sound as he pointed something on screen, “No way~? We can actually give energy to people? Like a power boost?”

    “Only the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous can. As the two that are set to be the balance of the universe, they are indeed powerful enough to give strong, natural energy. Almost life energy,” Fu hummed, as he looked solemn, “I believe some theorise that this was one of the reasons that quirks were created in this day and age. That some previous holders of the Ladybug and Cat had unified with each other to give birth to the dawn of humans having powers of their own.”

    “So…does it count as a wish? Making quirks exist, I mean?” Marinette asked, as Fu shrugged.

    “Who knows? But I believe that you can give power to those that need it without wishing for it. But that is the choice of the Ladybug and Cat to decide…but it comes with a lot of consequences, of course.”

    Ladybug hummed as she looked at Chat Noir, as she gave a look. Somehow, Chat Noir understood with that one look, nodding his head. 

    Deku blinked as he felt Chat Noir place his hands onto his head, looking up at him for a moment to see what he was doing. The feline hero closed his eyes, something about his aura felt…light. Almost as if he was mustering up some sort of feeling. It made Deku’s insides swell.

    Ladybug was doing the same, as she had placed her hands onto Bakugo’s spiky hair, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. 

    A pink like glow formed around Ladybug, growing brighter and brighter as Chat Noir was the same, only the light shining off of him was green. This made both Bakugo and Deku look at each other, before once more reaching out to each other. The finger tip of Deku’s almost touched Bakugo’s that had a bloody cut, almost grazing each other’s hands before quickly grabbing a full hold.

     Thunderbird's eyes glowed for a moment as his head tilted.

    He saw lines of green and orange strings around not just Bakugo and Deku…but around Ladybug and Chat Noir as well.

Comments and Love are appreciated~ See you in the final chapter of this New York Arc. Because after this, it's the main plot again~

[rozonrozark]

A lot of people in the Ao3 comment sections thought Hawkmoth was the one who attacked the meeting, I never understood that. It's way too far from his MO. I just figured it was some random American villain either attacking the UH heroes or attacking Cheshire in retaliation for her actions in the NY attack. Possibly Techlonizer or Evilnator, but it could be another villain we haven't been heard of.

About the sentikids thing, I would personally not make Adrien one. There's just no point to it. Think about it, if Adrien was released form his amok while unaware of it, then there's nothing more that can be done with that plot line. So what if he's a sentimonster? He cannot be controlled or destroyed like a sentimonster. You might be able to get some minor angst form "Am I really a person", but that borders on melodramatic.

Also, there's this line from Gabriel's PoV in the Early discovery AU:

"This is why they should have gone with the plan of a sentimonster child!"

But like... that's one line in a side story, it can be retconned pretty easily and no one would bat an eye.

Lastly, I was checking out some of your earlier posts and saw this:

This post is from before I made the timeline. Does it still apply or is the august birthday a thing now?

Yeah, I don't know why so many people were thinking it was HM. I think it was due to me not hinting that villains from outside of Paris could be there... Oh well, it is done and enough people figured it out..

As for the sentikid thing like I said and implied in the other AU in the ED AU I'm personally not fond of the senti Adrien. I also agree that the only reason that it is canon most of the time is for drama and I don't think I'm going to add it but then again it is confirmed canon... Have I mentioned recently how much I hate how much I hate canon.

Now as for my past post about Mari's birthday, that is something I am willing to go with your timeline the only reason I said it would be around February is that in Canon it took place during the school year so I tried to figure out when during school it would make sense but I guess this is just another time I'm willing to toss it aside and just go with what makes the most sense.

Humans are weird: In the line of duty

( Please come see me on my new patreon and support me for early access to stories and personal story requests :D https://www.patreon.com/NiqhtLord Every bit helps)    

The bulkhead slowly rose and Feneci walked on to the command bridge with her film crew. It wasn’t the most ideal of jobs she had been tasked with over the years but it was proving to be one of the most taxing.

She was never fond of interacting with humans and when she had been told by her editor that she would be covering the evacuation convoys from the Temeril homeworld onboard the human cruiser “Queen Ann” she had rightly protested. Humans were known to be suspicious and untrusting of new comers and she had felt as much when she and her crew had first set foot on the ship as it escorted Temeril ships to their refugee locations.

The human’s never said anything openly to her or her team. They treated them with respect and answered all of the questions they were able to; yet there was always a lingering presence in the air that radiated off the general crew that Feneci couldn’t help but summarize to be a general disdain. To them this ship was their home and she was an outsider that had been forced upon them to raise awareness for the ongoing crisis. This feeling thankfully was not shared with the ship’s captain who Feneci had finally been able to secure an interview with.

“Welcome, Ms. Feneci.” An old human in a captain’s uniform stated as the bridge crew parted to let him through. Unlike the other humans he radiated no such ill intent and his smile appeared genuine. He held out a hand for Feneci who took it to shake in standard human greeting rituals.

“Captain Amar, thank you for sparing the time to meet with us.” Feneci replied. “I know you must have your hands full with the evacuation efforts.”

Captain Amar released his hand and straightened out his uniform before motioning Feneci and the camera crew to follow him to the captain’s chair. The chair was situated at the back of the bridge so that the captain could observe the on goings of his entire crew but not higher to give the impression he was lording over them.

“You give me too much praise.” Captain Amar replied as he sat down in his chair. Feneci sat opposite him as the camera feed went green to show the recording had begun. “The real praise should be given to the Temeril’s for organizing an evacuation so quickly.”

“There are those, including some within the Terran government itself, that have stated that the entire evacuation process is unnecessary; that the Temeril homeworld could have been saved had the adequate tectonic stabilizers been deployed.”

Feneci looked down at her data pad for the notes she had written for this interview. “They say the cost of the stabilizers would have been a fraction of what this fleet of ships is now running.”

Captain Amar rocked side to side in his chair as if debating internally how to respond to this statement. After a moment to collect his thoughts he replied. “It is not for me to question the policies of my government, but I can assure you that having seen the Temeril homeworld from orbit adding a few tectonic stabilizers would have only delayed the inevitable.”

“You are an expert in seismic theology?” Feneci countered, hoping to catch the captain in a trap of words.

“I’m afraid I never had time for such studies,” the captain admitted, “but from high orbit I saw a lake of fire the size of a continent appear in the span of three days; consuming everything it touched like a gapping maw of some great beast of old.”

The captain shook his head regretfully. “The Temeril homeworld would become their tomb had we not come to assist with the evacuation and soon to be relocation effort to a new homeworld once we have finished establishing a colony on Techlon V.”

Feneci waved her hand around the bridge. “Since when does evacuation and relocation efforts require military escorts?” She held out a pad for the captain to see. “By our recent count there are at least five military grade vessels in this convoy alone, including this ship we’re on right now which is a cruiser class no less.”

For the first time the captain looked uneasy. “We have received recent reports of marauders operating in the area; preying on isolated ships or small convoy’s to steal either their ships or the passengers onboard.”

This was an actual shock to Feneci. Not only had she not heard any of these reports before, but she was surprised that the human captain would reveal it so freely.

“Was this information made public to the Temeril’s?” she asked, to which the captain shook his head.

“At the time there was a concern that many would instead seek to remain on the planet when faced with the potential danger in space that the marauders posse.” Captain Amar admitted. “As such it was felt that only after the trip was underway would this information be released.”

“Do you have any idea how deceitful that is?” Feneci pressed. “You intentionally withheld vital information from these people!”

Before the captain could reply alarm bells rang out around the control room. Bridge crew that had been ideally listening to the exchange scattered back to their terminals and sounded off their findings.

“Unknown cluster of contacts approaching from the rear of the convoy,” the scanner officer sounded off, “twenty minutes until they’re on us.”

In a flash the captain was up from his chair while Feneci bade her camera crew to continue filming. This would only further highlight the mismanagement the humans had over the convoy as a result of her report.

“Unidentified vessels this is Captain Amar of the Terran Alliance,” Captain Amar stated with authority, “you are approaching a evacuation convoy from the planet Temeril under our protection; identify yourself.”

There was no reply save the resounding pings from the scanner terminal indicating the unknown ships location. The communication officer shook his head and looked back at his captain.

“Full spread across all channels.” Captain Amar stated and the communication officer replied in kind.

“I repeat, this is a Temeril evacuation fleet under the protection of the Terran Alliance; you will identify yourselves at once.”

Once more silence.

“They’ve increased speed, ten minutes to contact.” The scanner officer called out.

“Escorts two and three, break off from the convoy and intercept the approaching vessels; and send word to Terran command we will need reinforcements.” A tactical hologram appeared above the bridge showing not only the formation of ships in the convoy but the approaching craft as well. At the captain’s command the two mentioned escort vessels began pulling away and set course to meet the unknown vessels.

“Escort three is asking for permission to engage if provoked.” The communication officer called over his shoulder looking at Captain Amar. The captain paused to consider his next steps before replying “Permission to engage only if fired upon first; we don’t know if these are the raiders we heard about or some convoy ships that were late to the party.” The officer nodded and relayed the order to the escort ships.

Feneci watched as the two opposing forces drew closer until finally they were right on top of each other when suddenly the coms channels were alive with chatter.

“This is escort two, contacts are not friendly! I repeat, they are not frie-“

The transmission was cut off half way as Feneci watched the marker for the second escort ship vanish. Captain Amar slammed his fist into a nearby terminal leaving an indentation.

“Escort three break off and rejoin the Queen Ann;” Captain Amar barked, “escorts four and five form up on us as well. Keep them away from the convoy at all costs.”

This time Feneci felt the entire ship lurch beneath her feet as the engines powered on and the ship began to turn around. Another round of pings came from the scanner terminal.

“Another twelve contacts just appeared and they’re heading right for us.”

“Clever bastards.” Captain Amar remarked as he took up his command chair once more. “They sent a small force ahead to gauge our numbers. They must think we’re easy pickings if they’ve fully committed now.”

“How far until the convoy reaches the jump point?” the captain called to his scanning officer.

“They need thirty minutes to reach the edge of the system before they can make the jump.” was his answer. Feneci added the time in her head and the raider fleet would easily reach them before they could escape to the jump point. The convoy would either be captured or destroyed dealing a crippling blow to the Temeril people.

“Ms. Feneci, I believe you should make for the hangar bay, get on your shuttle and head back to the convoy at once.” Feneci turned to see Captain Amar addressing her directly. “I can no longer guarantee your safety and this ship is about to enter into combat; we will buy as much time for the convoy to escape.”

“You’re not seriously going to fight them are you?” Feneci found herself asking despite herself. From the tactical hologram it looked like a swarm of red angry dots was rushing them while a thin blue line of Terran ships stood between them and the convoy.

“We were entrusted with the safety of this convoy and the Terran Navy has never shirked its commitments before.”

With that the captain turned from the reporter to focus on the battle at hand while a pair of naval guards stepped forward to escort the crew to the hangar. The last sight Feneci had of the captain was of him directing targeting orders as the first barrages of incoming fire impacted the shields. -------------------

On this day during the stellar year of 2573, a small Terran fleet under the command of Captain Amar Jabal protected an evacuation convoy of defenseless Temeril’s from a horde of marauders.

Outnumbered three to one, Captain Amar did not hesitate to engage the enemy fleet to buy the fleeing Temeril’s enough time to escape the system safely. The battle was fierce and uncompromising as both sides dueled it out in the void of space with the brave human captain using every trick in his book to keep the enemy focused on him.

Moving his ships in close to threaten the enemy carriers, the vile fiends were forced to keep their fighter wings close at hand to defend their carrier ships rather than chase down the fleeing innocents.

When presented with the overwhelming power of his flagship, the cruiser “Queen Ann”, the raiders found that alone they could not pierce through the mighty shields of the vessel and were likewise pinned in place engaging it lest they be picked off one by one.

But as the battle unfolded the Terran fleet lost many of its ships as they heroically held the line until only the Queen Ann remained.

With her decks breached in a dozen places, weapon systems damaged beyond repair, and her communications cut from the rest of the rescue fleet that was already on their way at max jump speed; the Queen Ann defiantly rammed the enemy flagship and detonated her jump drive in a final act of defiance. The resulting explosion and shower of debris crippled the few marauders that remained leaving them unable to continue their barbarous hunt against the Temeril’s which had safely made it to their own jump points and fled the system.

When the Terran relief fleet finally arrived in system they found a dozen survivor pods from the Queen Ann that had jettisoned from the vessel moments before the captain had initiated the ramming maneuverer.

The surviving crew stated that the captain had ordered all hands to abandon ship and that he alone remained to initiate the final act against his enemies stating: “It has been an honor to serve alongside each and every one of you. You have done the Terran Navy proud, so hold your heads high in the days to come.

As for myself, it makes a poor captain that does not go down with their ship; and I will be damned if I let these bastards make my Ann into another trophy in their motley fleet of vagabonds and cowards.

Look for me on the horizon when you reach the solar seas of the afterlife.”

In honor of his sacrifice, it has been announced that the new Temeril colony known previously as “Techlon V” is to be renamed to “Amar Prime” and that the Temeril people have already put forward an application to join the Terran Alliance.

Why do you dislike the NY special? Just curious.

Mostly, it's about how Cat Noir is treated over what happens to Uncanny Valley. Every single character who refers to it somehow blames him and him alone. Like, I get it, the Special isn't about Marinette's emotions tending to overwhelm her so badly that she loses sight of her actual goal, especially when she's feeling hurt, so Marinette distracting Adrien in the middle of the fight because she was too busy throwing a fit to focus wasn't going to be addressed because it would have just taken up time they didn't have. Besides, from what I hear, season four is now tackling this plot thread with Marinette insisting Ladybug has no time for feelings anymore so it will probably be much better handled there anyway. It'll probably be my new favorite sub arc unless the Marigami one keeps going. So Marinette not getting to deal with the emotional fallout can be excused.

Anyway, the actual issue is that no one pointed out that Techlonizer literally grabbed Cat Noir while he was being distracted by a teammate and made his Cataclysm hit Uncanny (when she jumped in to shield Ladybug). Cat Noir has so little agency in what happens that it makes it feel like forced melodrama when everyone blames him alone and not even Ladybug defends him just so that the writers can have him run off for that dramatic Second Act Breakup trope. It's obvious that the entire "Cat Noir literally DUCKING KILLS SOMEONE" thing was just an excuse to break up Ladynoir, because it's not addressed once in the movie after the sewer scene. Uncanny and Adrien have an actual conversation that makes no reference to the fact that he was so traumatized by accidentally killing her that he gave up his Miraculous. When Uncanny retrieves him, it's made to be all about how Adrien fears Ladybug is disappointed and when Uncanny plays him the recording that she needs him, it gets rid of all of his reservations.

Cat Noir was made to kill someone, gets blamed for it, and then it's never addressed again. Because who cares about Adrien's trauma when there's Ladynoir drama to be had!

Like, every fanfic with the “Cat Noir Flippendo kills someone” trope is automatically using it better than the New York Special, because the fanfic writers only use it specifically because they want to write that story and deal with the ramifications. The New York Special wasted the biggest Elephant in the Living Room concerning Cat Noir’s powers by not having any payoff to the worst case scenario occurring.

There's also the fact that the special is too gritty for my tastes and I've had it with these gritty-for-the-sake-of-being-gritty superhero cartoons: the colors are dark, the plot is melodramatic, Cat Noir kills someone, there's a sudden focus on collateral damage that never existed in the show before, and Hawk Moth launches a NUCLEAR STRIKE. And yet none of these gritty plot elements are actually important and all get resolved effortlessly. They're there to create an illusion of the movie being more mature. There's a reason I'm not watching the new DC animated movies despite them casting my favorite voice actors from the DC Animated Universe era: I just want superheroes to be fun, with some tasty personal angst that the writers actually do something with.

The conflict in the NY special w/ them was also pretty bad, because Chat Noir's not being there was built up to be even worse because there was a villain while he wasn't there: except there was just one problem. Hawkmoth isn't in paris, he's in new york, the important villain was *where they were*, and if Chat Noir *had* been in paris, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to prevent paris from getting damaged. If he'd been there, people still would've asked "Where's Ladybug?" because she's the one people care the most about and whom their morale hangs on the most, and they both know that. And anything he could do to contain the sentimonster would involve more property destruction. It'd probably still be disappeared before she could make the transatlantic flight over there too, even if the powerup makes it take less time than a jet engine.

Oh yeah, I and others pointed this all out at the time, back when the special aired and Adrien salters were talking about how horrible he'd been. In order for Ladybug's plan to actually work, she and Chat would have needed to swap Miraculous so that he could repair Paris.

As it is, Chat being in New York with her really doesn't change the situation much, the akuma alert is unlikely to have alerted her much slower than Chat himself could have, and she'd still have needed to get away from techlonizer and flown over to Paris, by which time Mayura would have recalled the sentimonster.

Sparrow: "Wish we had something like that. Would certainly save people a lot on healthcare."

Uncanny Valley: "And less infrastructure repair to get held up in Congress."

Knightowl: "Also the whole 'people dying' thing."

Majestia: "Oops."

YEAH

Miraculous x United Heroez confronting Techlonizer

[aeonghaseyo]

Didn't Chat noir kill that robot girl because he wasn't because careful with his power, you think with having the power of destruction, he be more carefully when using it.

It's true that he did momentarily kill Uncanny Valley through his cataclysm in the New York special, but for a better understanding of how it reflects/does not reflect on his aptitude as a superhero, let me run down all that happened that led to this particular accident:

As Techlonizer attacked the museum, Ladybug got angry at Chat Noir for abandoning his post in Paris without informing her promptly of it.

While the both of them were taking on the superpowered Technopirate, out of anger, Ladybug had said a lot of words that hurt Chat Noir. It was valid for LB to get upset with him after abandoning Paris and coming to New York, because she told him beforehand she was going away and trusted him with protecting Paris while she's on leave. Chat Noir didn't do that same thing she did.

Chat Noir, isn't at all separate from his emotionally-stunted civilian self, and so in the fight while he was trying to explain himself to Ladybug, and she continued to shut his explanations down out of anger, he lost his momentum in the fight. That's all his confidence gone out the window, because Ladybug told him she can no longer trust him.

He triggered his cataclysm at the hopes of using it against Techlonizer, but he got flung and accidentally hit Uncanny Valley with it.

With all these events that happened, it just goes to show that even the most experienced and sophomoric superheroes have vulnerabilities that when exposed, can lead to them further losing their edge because their vulnerabilities take over, rendering them helpless. Remember that Superman has Kryptonite. All Chat Noir wanted was to prove, even desperately, that he could still be trusted by his partner. What happened here was not a show of him misusing his power, but a show of how Ladybug's words to him in those scenes threw him off-guard and caused an accident.

If the mistake lied in activating his cataclysm immediately mid-fight, it was because he wanted to bank on his power turning the tide of the battle to the heroes' favor. He wanted to still do something to prove he could be useful. Chat Noir still knew what his objective was when he activated his cataclysm, and just because he accidentally got flung towards a robot and destroyed it with his power doesn't mean he's less of a superhero. It was an accident, and he was not totally in control of things that transpired with Techlonizer in the museum then. He can make mistakes and trigger accidents like this too, especially with the emotional turmoil he's got going on from time to time.

Please, don't be too hard on him for that.
