"Are you sure about this Chat," Queen Bee asked as she dropped the fake Cat Noir ring in his hand, "Hawkmoth and Myura have gotten smarter."
"I've considered everything," Adrien looked at the ring knowing what might happen, "even that."
"Mirage," Rena yelled making multiples of all the heroes still standing, Queen Bee, Cat Noir, Ryuko, and Bunnix.
"I need you to do something," Cat Noir said as he landed next to the real Bunnix, "I need you to look 30 minutes into the future, I need to know if my plan works."
"Burrow," Alix called out as a white portal opened, she walked into it and came out a few seconds later, "I only got a glimps but Paris isn't in ruins so I assume whatever plan you have works."
"Dark Charm," Dark Lady called out and caught a replica of Cat Noir's staff, she smirked, extended it, and swung it around, knocking back Cat Noir and Bunnix, dissipating the illusions. She approached the retreating Rena Rouge, spinning her yo-yo in one hand and the staff in the other.
A green turtle shell came flying at Dark Lady from behind, knocking the staff out of her hand, causing it to slide towards Rena. She growled at the weak Carapace, who had just gotten back on his feet, and ran at him.
"Protect," he called out as her yo-yo flew at him. Carapase collapsed from the hits on the protective, green shell that formed around him that Dark Lady was enforcing.
"Mari, no!" Alya cryed as she detransformed, and saw Nino's weakened state, "please don't hurt him."
"Alya," Cat Noir pulled her out of Dark Lady's way, "you need to stay safe, I'll make everything right."
"But we need Ladybug to do that," Alya struggled to get free of his grip as the shield around Carapace shattered, "No!"
"Stop," Cat Noir said tucking the fake ring in his pocket and getting between Dark Lady and Carapace, "I'll give you my miraculous if you return Viperion's."
They all waited for an agonising second before she tossed the snake miraculous to Queen Bee, "Deal."
"Trust me," Cat Noir yelled as Dark Lady dragged off by the tail, but he was able to grab the item created by Dark Lady's dark charm.
"I have an idea. Pollen, buzz off," Chloe said, handing Luka back his miraculous, "Cat Noir just took a big risk for us. Both him and Ladybug always have risked their lives countless times for Paris. Now it's time we do the same. Luka I need you to find the Guardian of the miraculous, I'll pretend to do the same to keep Myura off your tail. Everyone else recharge your miraculous, the public already knows too many of our identities. After find where Dark Lady took Cat Noir."
"Are you sure about this," Luka asked, "I mean what do you plan to do with the other miraculous?"
"You could always combine two miraculous," Sass suggested, "Ladybug did that when she lost her miraculous to kwami buster."
"Good idea, Luka, since Ladybug trusted you, I trust you to select the right miraculous," Chloe nodded before running off in a random direction.
~~~Hawkmoth's Lair~~~
"You know as big time villian like you I expected a bigger evil lair," Cat Noir joked.
"We had a deal Cat Noir," Hawkmoth held out his hand, "your miraculous, now."
"And you'll release Ladybug if I do," Cat Noir asked.
"After I have your miraculous I'll have no need for the girl," Hawkmoth smiled, "you have my word."
Adrien slipped the fake ring into the hand that didn't have his miraculous, "Plagg, claws in."
As the green light faded from the room Adrien slipped his miraculous into a hidden pocket and put the fake one on his finger.
