Ryuko was panting heavily. She saw her fellow heroes get covered in a mirage while she was still fighting Scarlet Moth.
You guys... you left me behind, where are you?
"Give up Ryuko," Scarlet Moth says, "You're all alone,"
Ryuko glares, "Never," she says.
They fight for a few more minutes.
Scarlet Moth grabs Ryuko and throws her off the Eiffel Tower.
Ryuko's eyes go wide in shock and she sheathes her sword.
"Water dragon!"

"Behind you!"
The heroes hear Rena Rouge and spin around. Syren is coming straight for them, holding a lamppost.
Most of the heroes swim away quickly, but Monkey King freezes up.
"O-Ondine..." he mutters quietly.
"Monkey King!" Pegasus yells.
Ryuko materializes in front of them. She's holding her breath. She blocks the incoming strike with her sword, then uses the hilt to break the bracelet Ondine's wearing.
Ondine deakumatizes, and panics, not being able to breathe. Chat Noir swims forward and gives her his stick to breathe through like scuba gear.
Ryuko pulls out something small and eats it. She says something and activates aqua mode. She takes a deep breath, then glares up at the others.
"Did you guys seriously forget about me?" she asks.
"What makes you think that?" Rena asks, rubbing the back of her neck nervously.
"The fact that everyone got coated in illusion but me," Ryuko says, folding her arms.
Rena lets out a nervous laugh, "Oops..."
"So I've been fighting Scarlet Moth for the last 10 or so minutes, until I got thrown off the Eiffel Tower," Ryuko says.
"How'd you survive getting thrown off?" Chat Noir asks.
Ryuko facepalms. Chat Noir then notices that two of the three symbols on Ryuko's were faded.
"She can turn into the different elements," Viperion says, "Each element only once though. Then the five-minute thing activates,"
"Wind, water, and lightning," Ryuko says. "I used wind to get to the Eiffel Tower to hold off Scarlet Moth while Pegasus and you dealt with saving Ladybug, then I used water to survive the fall,"
"Alright, we need to figure out how Hawkmoth boosted his power," Chat Noir says, turning back to the other heroes.
"I'd start with his cane," Ryuko says. The others turn towards her, "He used it to corrupt butterflies, and when I nearly cut it with my sword, he threw me off the Eiffel Tower,"
The heroes nodded.
"Okay then," Chat Noir says, "That's where we'll start,"

Marinette sat up, leaning against the wall. She grimaced a little.
"Master... how long have I been out?" she asked.
"10 minutes," Master Fu says, taking a sip of tea.
"What?! Oh no, they need me-"
"Marinette, you can't go help them," Master Fu says. "You can't even stand,"
