"We're going to need reinforcements, no matter what." Cat Noir told Ladybug.

"But Hawk Moth knows the identities of every wearer except us. We can't risk it." She said.

"We've risked it before with Chloé." He pointed out.

"But how would we get the right miraculouses to the right people? We don't even know who King Monkey is!"

"We'll have to do without him then. Also, I'm positive they would love to be heroes at least one more time."

Ladybug hesitated. "Alright," She said after a moment. "I'll get the Miracle Box. Make sure they don't get the students."

"You know I excel in purr-tection."

Ladybug rolled her eyes. "Just keep them safe."

A while later, Ladybug returned. "I've got it."

"Let's have a look now shall we?"

Ladybug brought out the Fox, Turtle, Horse, Snake, and Dragon Miraculouses. She handed Cat Noir the Horse and Dragon.

"Get these to Max and Kagami, I'll handle Rena Rouge, Carapace, and Viperion." She said.

"I'll find Kagami first, so I can think of a way to get Max from Alya and Nino." He said as he vaulted off.

"If I were Kagami, where would I be..?" Cat Noir muttered to himself. "She might be practicing with her mother at Jardin des Tuileries!"

Sure enough, both Tomoe and Kagami Tsurugi were there. He landed nearby and cleared his throat. "Ms. Tsurugi? I'm Cat Noir, and there's an akumatized villain close by. We need both you and your daughter to split up and hide." He paused. "For your own safety, of course."

How will I know if Kagami is safe, though?" Tomoe asked.

"Ma'am, we're professionals."

"Very well then." Tomoe walked off to her self-driving car.

Kagami watched her mother depart. "Why is it that I don't believe you stated the whole truth?" She asked, turning to Cat Noir.

He grinned. "Right as always." He brought out the Dragon Miraculous. "Kagami Tsurugi, here is the Miraculous of the Dragon which grants the power of Perfection. You'll use it for the greater good. Once the mission is over, you'll return the miraculous to either Ladybug or me. Can we trust you?"

"Yes, you can." She put the choker on. "Longg, bring the storm!"

"We're meeting up at Collège Françoise Dupont, but I need to make a quick stop on the way." He told Ryuko.

"See you there, Cat Noir." She lept away.

Cat Noir headed where the three students had been. Alya and Nino weren't there, which made his job much easier.

"Hey, Max, catch!" He tossed the Horse Miraculous to him. "We're meeting up at Collège Françoise Dupont." He said and vaulted away."
