??? POV

It has been a week ever since Hawkmoth sent us to find The Vigilante, or what's left of him. We searched far and wide for him but with no trace.

"It's pointless, Silver Fang. He's probably dead." Black Bull said as he shivered from the cold.

"Quit your whining. The last village said they say a bald man carrying an unconscious man on his back." I replied sharply at my complacent partner.

"They said the man had a black trench coat and a worn down armoured bodysuit." I added as we trudged along the rocky path towards the mountains.

"It could've been anyone. " Black Bull said as he tugged his cloak around his shoulders.

"It must be him. I'm sure of it." I said with excitement.

After hours of wandering, we found a large dojo.  We exchanged looks and ventured towards the dojo. We peeked through the window and saw a stoutly built man with white skin, thin brown eyes and thick grey forked eyebrows. He is bald and has a strong jaw. The man was watching a teenage boy race through an obstacle course, dodging traps with grace. The boy had hazel hair tied into a low ponytail, brown eyes and light brown skin covered in sweat, bruises and stitches. He had bandages on his hands and feet.

I pulled out the picture in my pocket and looked at it and then at the boy.

"Holy sh*t! It's him!" I gasped.

"That's the brat that Hawkmoth wants." Black Bull added with a smirk.

Hawkmoth's mask appeared in front of us.

"We found Le Loup, sir." I said.

"Good. Bring him in, alive." Hawkmoth said.

"Yes sir." We replied and prepared to breach the dojo.

Su-Fan POV

I felt a presence nearby and looked at the window. I saw a man in a black and grey armoured bodysuit with black boots, a black trench coat with grey markings and a dark grey wolf mask. His friend is wearing a black jumpsuit that looks similar to a bull and a matching bull mask.

"Master Su-Han? Is there a problem?" Alex asked as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his towel.

"We are not alone. Alexander, get your gear ready and leave." I said as I picked up my staff. Alex nodded and raced towards his room. The two men broke the window and entered the dojo.

"Alright, old man. We know Le Loup is here. Hand him over to us now!" The man in the bull suit demanded.

"Where did you get the bull miraculous from?" I asked with a frown on my face.

"Don't change the subject! Where is The Vigilante!?" The man in the wolf outfit demanded as he pulled out a pair of kali sticks. The man pulled out his mace.

"I don't have anything to say to you." I replied and got into my stance. The two men exchanged looks and laughed.

"You're dead then." The man in the bull suit said and darted forwards. Before he could land a blow on me, I jumped and struck my staff at his face, breaking his nose. He stepped back and cursed loudly.

"Silver Fang, he's tough!" The man said as he tried to readjust his broken nose.

"He's just an old man." Silver Fang said as he darted forward. We traded blows, dodging and parrying each others attacks, my staff deflecting his attacks. I kicked Shadow Fang away. He backflipped and landed on his feet. 

"Not bad, old man. But you're no match for me." He said and pointed down at my feet. As I looked down, a flash of light struck my eyes. As I tried to recover my eyesight, I felt a  barrage of heavy blows all over my body, each blow breaking my bones. After one final blow to my stomach, I crashed through a column of walls and landed on the edge of the mountain.

"Last chance, old man." Black Bull picked me up by the throat and strangling me. "Where is Le Loup?" 

"Tell us. Or you're dead." Silver Fang added, leaning against his staff.

"Never." I said.

"Then die." Black Bull said as he threw me onto the ground and raised his mace. I closed my eyes, bracing for impact. After a while, I opened them and saw Alex standing in front of me, his staff in hand and scowling at my attackers. 

"You're Hawkmoth's men, aren't you?" He asked.

"How perspective. Come with us and the old man can live." Black Bull said.

"How about this? I send you back to Hawkmoth with your tails in between your legs." Alex replied and twirled his staff.

Black Bull grunted angrily and got into his stance.

"Alexander. They're to strong for you." I said as I tried to stand up. Alex looked back and smiled.

"You trained me for this, Master Su-Fan. I got this." Alex said and pulled his mask over his face. He turned to face the duo.

"Venez à moi, bâtards!" He shouted and darted towards them.
