"What do you mean?" Luka asked, standing up abruptly from Adrien's bed. Adrien held the miracle box in his hands, looking down at the empty spaces where several miraculous were needed. He knew where six out of the seven were.

The bee bandana and the fox chain necklace belonged to Luka and Nino respectively, and the cat ring, turtle bracelet and snake bracelet belonged to Ladynoire, Shelly and Queen Cobra. The only miraculous he hadn't known the whereabouts of was the dragon choker, one that was used by Kagami.

"I mean, it's gone," Adrien shook the metal box lightly, panic finally setting in.

"Did you take it out at all?" Nino asked, taking the box from his hands and placing it on the bed.

"I would've known if I was planning on giving it to someone," Adrien exclaimed, now frustrated at himself. He had never lost a miraculous and now he was in big trouble. If Ladynoire had gotten a hold of it, she could use it against them, just like how she did with the other miraculouses she had taken.

"Adrien, it's okay," Tikki assured him, munching on a new cookie flavour than last week. Every week Tikki had a new cookie flavour at her disposal, thanks to Adrien's generous offer to buy any new flavours he saw.

"Nino, you might want to see this," Trixx said, turning the volume up on the remote control with all his body weight. The breaking news title had faded to live footage of a helicopter, following Ladynoire and Ryuko down the streets of Paris.

"Oh no..." Adrien sighed. He recognized the bobbed blue hair almost immediately. The helicopter only gave a view from above the pair, strange that it was only the two of them. Normally, Shelly and Queen Cobra would join them. Then, as Adrien thought of what the reasoning for the pair being alone together would be, it hit him. "This is only a distraction!"

"What? What do you mean?" Nino asked.

"Shelly and Queen Cobra are doing something else, while Ladynoire and Ryuko distract the police!" Adrien exclaimed quickly, opening the window of his room. He was thankful that he didn't live with his father anymore, and not having to worry about being caught while trying to sneak out.

As Misterbug, Fennick, and Sting patrolled local banks and expensive stores, they watched as the helicopter in the distance followed down a street. Ladynoire was still on the run, but that was the least of their worries.

"We can catch them later, we need to make sure Shelly and Cobra are stopped first," Sting explained, watching as money flew into the air. They could only hold a certain amount of money between the pair, not much though. But Misterbug couldn't simply stand back and watch as they almost got away, his instinct to follow the two.

"Go find Alya and the car, I'll deal with him," Ladynoire whispered to Ryuko who was carrying an open duffle bag of money over her shoulder. As Ryuko ran, Ladynoire was faced with a different problem, a more annoying one at that.

"Hand. It. Over." He seethed, holding his hand out. Ladynoire hung the bag out, the strap dangling from her finger.

"What? This?" She placed a finger to her lip in a questioning way, mocking the innocence of an air-headed little girl. "If you want it," She grasped the strap firmly in her hand, ready to throw it in the air. Misterbug remembered from their partnership days how good she was at throwing heavier objects almost across Paris. "Go get it!" She exclaimed, jumping into the air and kicking the bag towards the Eiffel Tower.

The bag wasn't going anywhere so he could retrieve it after. "Fine, you obviously don't want it that much," Ladynoire picked at her claws, as a woman would do with her nails. Her way of distracting him with conversation held throughout their partnership and now rivalry. Well, more teasing than conversation.

"Where are your pals, Shelly and Queen Cobra?" He smirked, knowing that if he played this fight right, she would be cornered with no help.

"They're at home, relaxing with that mountain of money, you know the money we got away with last week," Her tail swayed back and forth, showing her amusement about his loss. Misterbug stayed silent, not giving in to her lies of manipulation to make him frustrated. "Ugh," She rolled her eyes. "You're no fun,"

Ladynoire jumped into the air, holding her baton in a baseball position over her shoulder. Misterbug spun his yo-yo, using it to act as a shield. The force of the shield flung Ladynoire back, her baton flinging out of her reach. Misterbug caught her within his web of a yo-yo. She was completely defenceless, but before he could take the ring from her, she summoned her cataclysm, making it impossible for him to reach.

"Uh, uh, uh," She cooed, wagging her index finger that was free in his face. "Do you want all of my teammates, or just me?" She asked.

"Where are they?" He asked, ignoring her question.

"As I said, they're at home, relaxing," She and Ryuko weren't a distraction, it was merely a setup. "Your friends are going to have a blast when they reach the bank just after the bridge," She cooed, making a pun while giving away her plans. Misterbug turned around in horror, seeing Sting and Fennick making their way to the said bank.

As Misterbug unravelled his yo-yo, freeing Ladynoire and running towards the bridge, Ladynoire waved teasingly, leaving in the direction that Ryuko left. The explosion in the background made the following helicopters leave, capturing the heroes' actions.

"Goodbye, Little bug," She said to herself as she ran her cataclysm along the wall of a random building. She didn't have anything against the building, she merely wanted to cause chaos and destruction wherever she went. 

It has a happy ending....right? {COMPLETED}Where stories live. Discover now
