Dust, boulders and sharp stalgmites crashed to the ground, thick cracks snaked through the walls and caused the cave to shake. The pillar with Cat Noir's symbol began to glow as he used his cataclysm. "Why is it so strong? I...I barely touched the wall!" he shouted worriedly and looked at Su Han. Ultimoth laughed evilly. "It's this place! It gives you more energy, it makes you and your powers stronger!" Arachide replied enthusiastically. Her eyes shone with enthusiasm.

 "Ladybug! We have to get out of here!" the Grand Keeper urged her. "In a minute," Ladybug replied back. She wasn't finished with Hawkmoth yet. But more and more rocks broke apart and fell to the ground. Suddenly the wall near the tunnel crashed apart, blocking the exit. "Shield!" shouted Ultimoth suddenly, his patches in his collar and down his matnelt turning green. He had used the turtle's Miraculous. The shimmering green shield formed over everyone. "I'll make you a deal! Ladybug," he roared. The shield kept the rocks from spilling further out the exit. "And... what's that?" she wanted to know. She looked grimly at Ultimoth, who grinned maliciously. Arachide helped the gasping Nathalie up, who was in a really bad way. Why was she risking her life for some family? "It's simple! You use your power and heal Nathalie with it," he suggested seriously. Ladybug stared at him. "That's impossible! Even if she's joined in the fight, I can't... 'repair' previous damage, so to speak," she explained anxiously. Her voice cracked. "Yes...you can! Ladybug...this place will give you enough power! TRY IT!" Ultimoth shouted overworldly. "Don't do that Mi Lady! It's far too dangerous," Cat Noir begged his partner. "The outcome, against Nathalie. Sounds fair, doesn't it?" laughed Ultimoth. Ladybug bit her lip and hesitated. She had no other choice, she had to try. 

"Step back, I'll try," she said confidently. So Su Han pulled the cat back and Nathalie stepped forward. "You don't have to do this," she whispered sadly and looked at Ladybug. She just smiled sadly back. "Lucky charm!" she called out, the pillar in the background lighting up. The lucky charm, which in this case was a vase of flowers, plopped into Ladybug's hands. She took a deep breath. 

There was no time to lose, so she started immediately. She focused on the object in her hand and remembered Alya's words: "You are Ladybug! You can create anything, you decide when it's over! So set new limits! 

"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" she shouted as loud as she could, gathering her strength and flinging the vase high into the air. The Lucky Gringer began to glow and the ladybugs began to buzz around, but instead of repairing the cave, they swarmed back down to Ladybug because Hawkmoth's shield was holding them captive. SIe focused her hands on Nathalie and concentrated all her energy. 


"HEAL HER!" she shouted and the marine beetles flew towards Nathalie. They started circling her, touching her, it looked like she was dancing with them. They lifted Nathalie into the air and suddenly she felt as light as a feather! She felt a warm, pleasant sensation running through her legs and back. A few marine beetles stroked her cheek and she felt her pain disappear. It was working! "Come on Ladybug, show me your power!" roared Ultimoth enthusiastically. The pillar in the background seemed about to burst, glowing cracks snaking around Ladybug's symbol. Then, in the next moment, the pillar shattered and Ladybug was hit by another surge of warming energy. 

"I...can...no longer...ahhrg," she hissed through her teeth and opened her eyes, which now glowed in the bright light. Her dots on the suit also lit up brightly. The ladybugs circled Nathalie one last time and then flew into the air in a high spiral, only to break through the protective shield the next moment and repair the cave. Then it was over, the glow disappeared and Ladybug fell to the ground, gasping. Nathalie also fell to her knees and gasped. "Nathalie," Ultimoth said worriedly. He helped her up. 

"I...I feel like new! I...I can walk again!" she cried excitedly and relieved. Her exoskeleton was gone. "Thank you," she said quietly to Ladybug. But then Ultimoth opened a portal with a laugh, he had put on his glasses, the Miraculous of the horse. "I'll see you around, Ladybug," and with these words he disappeared with Arachide and Nathalie. Cat Noir helped Ladybug up. "Are you all right, Mi Lady?" he asked with trembling hands. Ladybug just nodded. "Let's get out of here," she gasped. All three nodded. Cat Noir took her in her arms and carried her out, while Su Han followed them anxiously.

Outside, someone was watching all the action. It was the blonde girl. "So we meet again. Grand Guardian," she murmured.
