After a few minutes journey, the two — Ladybug and Rena Rouge, arrived at the residence of Master Fu.

"Master Fu," Ladybug called.

"Ah, Ladybug and Rena Rouge," Master Fu answered with a calm tone, "welcome."

"Master Fu, is it true that you met Rena earlier and gave her the fox miraculous?" Ladybug asked. Master Fu smiled, "yes, that's true."

"But," Ladybug's tone rose, "that means you have just revealed your identity as the guardian of the miraculous!"

"Yes, that's also true," his gaze moved from Ladybug to Rena Rouge, "and Rena, I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Wang Fu and I'm the guardian of the miraculous."

Rena Rouge gasped in awe, "wow! That's amazing! So, does that mean you're in possession of the miracle box that contains all miraculouses?"

He nodded then turned to Ladybug again, "I had to do this, Ladybug, seeing how troubled you were earlier against that villain."

Ladybug flashed an awkward smile due embarrassment. After that, her expression turned serious again, "I'm afraid I have never faced a villain as powerful as Chrysalide. I need more help."

Master Fu nodded then immediately went to a table which a vintage gramophone is sitting on. After he pressed a few unknown buttons, the gramophone opened up and revealed a strange looking box hidden inside.

"Ladybug, pick an ally you can trust to fight alongside you. This decision is crucial, so choose wisely," Master Fu reminded her.

"I need more than one ally in order to defeat Chrysalide," she said surely as she took the monkey and pegasus miraculous.

"May I?" Ladybug asked Master Fu politely for the turtle miraculous that he's wearing. He nodded kindly and handed his miraculous.

"Thanks, Master Fu. I guarantee you, we're going to defeat this Chrysalide and bring Paris back to safety!"

"Rena, I have a mission for you. Take Kaalki and bring her to Max. We need Pegasus' teleportation power in order for my plan to work. After that, I also need you to go find Nino. Hand him the turtle miraculous and let him transform to Carapace. I'll go fetch King Monkey and we'll meet back at the park after," Ladybug ordered Rena Rouge.

"On it, Ladybug," Rena smiled reassuringly as she started jumping over the roofs of Paris.

Ladybug smiled as she watched Rena left, "I made the right choice recruiting her."

She then started leaping from one building to another and asked herself where Kim would be.

"Of course, the swimming pool!" She snapped her fingers.

"I bet I can stay underwater longer than you!" A girl said teasingly.

"Are challenging me, Ondine? Let's see then!" A boy replied.

Just as the pair were about to dive underwater, Ladybug caught Kim's eyes and signaled him to go to the changing room. He subtly nodded and immediately got up.

"Kim, where are you going?" Ondine asked while taking her goggles off. "I- uh... need to go to the restroom! I ate a really spicy curry yesterday!"

Ondine giggled, "you silly monkey, go ahead then. I'll wait for you here."

Kim smiled — for a second, his face felt slightly hot, but quickly denied it.

"Don't wait up, Ondine. I think I'll be gone for a long time. Besides, don't you have a Spanish tutoring lesson to attend?" He raised an eyebrow while crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Shoot, you're right!" Ondine hurriedly got out of the water and dried her body using a towel, "I'll better go, then! See you tomorrow, slowpoke!"

Kim shook his head while a beaming smile crossing ear to ear on his face.

"Ladybug?" He called for her as he entered the changing area.

"Here, Kim. I don't have any time to explain, but you know what to do," Ladybug said as she handed Kim the circlet.

"All right!" He exclaimed, "Xuppu, show time!"

•••••

"Everyone here?" Ladybug asked to a cohort of masked superheroes — Rena Rouge, Carapace, Pegasus, and Monkey King.

"Hmm... that's odd. I kept on feeling like someone is missing," Rena looked around searching for the missing person.

"Chat Noir," Ladybug answered firmly, "I can't get a hold of him, for some reason. He's gone missing, but we don't have time to sit around and wait for him. I know we're not a whole without him, but there's nothing we can do. If anyone is somehow able to contact him, ask him to join the battle right away," Ladybug ordered as the others nodded.

"All right then, let's show that darn cocoon what we're made of!"
