Rise of Bat Noir 🦇

Care

As they both reached the office, the sunlight hit Bat Noir, making him flinch from the burn on his skin. So Argos quickly pulled the curtains down to cover him.

"Damn it that hurts!" Adrien looked at his hand which instantly healed quickly.

"We better get out of here quickly!" Argos then puts on the horse ring.

"No shit!" Bat Noir said.

"I hope this works! Kaalki, Duusu! Unify!" Argos unified the ring with the brooch, becoming Pegabird.

"He's coming! Just say Voyage!" Bat Noir said.

"Voyage!" They got into a portal to Kagami's place.

Just as the injured Monarch came up, he was too late.

At Kagami's place, Pegabird and Kagami had all curtains closed to ensure no sunlight came in.

"How is he alive?" Kagami asked.

"He's not. He's undead like a vampire for real. I'm guessing God knew that Adrien wasn't ready to die" Pegabird guessed.

"Long story. But we reclaimed two miraculous" Adrien said.

"I can't believe you are here and talking. You died" Kagami said, processing who she was talking to.

"Yes I am alive but I was brought back to life as a vampire. And yes I am Bat Noir" Adrien said.

But worst of all, he can't remember how he met her but he can remember her name, "But who are you?" He then asked her.

"Seriously?" Kagami said.

"He has amnesia. He lost most of his memories when he died" Pegabird said.

"Oh, Adrien" Kagami sighs.

Adrien suddenly has a flashback of when he and Kagami were a couple. Especially when they first met, they had a fencing dual. But their relationship didn't last long.

"Kagami?" Adrien remembers her name.

"Yes, it's me," Kagami said.

He then noticed the photo of him and the fencing classmates. He walks up to them for a closer look. Fencing was his best sport but he never chose it, his father did. Every activity his father chooses for him was never enough to be proud of. Not even an 'I'm proud of you, son' from his father.

"I remember you, Kagami," He said.

"You do?" Kagami wanted to be sure.

"Yes. I do" Adrien said as Pegabird detransformed.

"And we reclaimed two of these" Felix held out the rooster and horse rings.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Kagami glared at Felix.

"I owe Ladybug and Cat Noir a debt. In return for avenging Adrien, I'm reclaiming what I traded. No more disappearing and power gain acts for Monarch" Felix said.

"Yes, plus he saved me from blood lust," Adrien said.

"Also, there's still a bit of grudge in me" He looks at Felix and took a deep breath, "This is your last chance, Felix. Cross me again, you surrender the peacock miraculous. You said you hate oppressors. Well, Gabriel is the biggest oppressor of them all. Ever heard of something that cannot fall into the wrong hands?!" He yelled in his face.

"Alright! I get it! I was blinded by hatred and anger. You have my word" Felix flinched.

"Good! For now, Monarch won't be able to do anything with broken arms" Adrien said.

There was one thing he remembered that night at the wax museum, "Sadly, he forced me to cataclysm him that night at the wax museum. I remember being traumatized by that incident. Even if he was evil but he was still a person behind the mask"
