Here is Chapter 4 of the story, and I'm so happy to have all your support! And before we get to the good part let me say a few things, first, yes English is my first language and I have no beta reader and I'm going by Microsoft Word to make sure that the words are right, I'm thinking about getting a Grammerly account so the quality might get better for those who've commentated about the mess with spelling and I will work over the past few chapters and fix them. And finally when this story is over I will have an announcement for Fanfiction AO3 readers, so that's it and everyone enjoy!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"We both just came from the same building….Marinette." Chat Noir said and Ladybug went still and stared at him for a few seconds and jumped back and gasped as she looked at him. Chat Noir got back to his feet and looked at her as she stammered and felt his insides melt and forced himself to try and let go of them, he wouldn't get in the way of Marinette's relationship with Luka, he couldn't hurt his partner like that.

"But Gorilla, same place building! How that?" Ladybug stammered as she stared into space, thousands of little things jolting into place.

"A little help from a fan of mine to get away from the mob and well it worked out better than I thought partner." Chat Noir admitted and Ladybug looked at him in total shock. It must be a letdown that it's me

A loud howl caused them both to look towards where the sound had come from and Ladybug shook herself and reached for Chat Noir's hand and he pulled her up, she fought down a blush and slapped herself. "Later, we can talk that later, right now we have an Akuma to deal with!"

"Lead the way Mi…..Ladybug." Chat Noir said as Ladybug jumped away, not letting it show that he didn't call her Milady bother her.

As they ran over the Paris skyline they soon came across the Akuma and his dogs. Looking down at the scene Ladybug swallowed as they saw the Pack Master recruit another dog.

"This is bad, a canine Mister Pigeon." Ladybug said as Chat Noir chuckled.

"Well at least I'm not allergic to dogs at least." Chat Noir said with a grin. "But this cat doesn't want to be chased up a tree."

Ladybug fought down a giggle and shook her head and smiled at Chat Noir before shaking her head. Okay how will we handle this, how can we deal with them all? Maybe if we can get the dogs somewhere they won't be able to escape from easy…the stadium if we can get them there we can handle…..what's he doing? Ladybug thought as they saw Pack Master crack his whip at a dog and it grow to the size of a car.

"So that's his ability, think he's like Mr. Pigeon?" Chat Noir asked and Ladybug shook her head after a few moments of thought.

"No, I think he's one of the dog catchers. But how did he turn?" Ladybug asked before a howl caused them to cringe before looking down and see the dogs and the Akuma looking at them.

"Ladybug, Chat Noir! Hand over your Miraculous and let the pack rule over Paris! So commands Pack Leader!" Pack Leader barked at them and Ladybug scowled as the dogs started to try and climb up the rooftops. "Get them my pets, get them!"

As the dogs tried to climb up Chat Noir grabbed Ladybug's shoulder and pointed towards a large nearby building and Ladybug nodded and they were off, the dogs following after them.

"We have to find out what they can do, we have to hide!" Chat Noir said as reached the building. As they moved over the building Chat Noir spotted a rooftop terrace and grabbed Ladybug's shoulder, pointing at it and she nodded and they hid and waited.

As they watched the dogs came around both sides and looked around, growling as the Pack Leader and his mount came around the building he whistled and then the dogs all started to sniff the air. The Pack Leader's eyes glowed blue and then he laughed.

"There, get them my pack!" The Akuma screeched and point his whip at their hiding place.

"Move!" Ladybug cried as she and Chat Noir shot away from the roof as the dogs started to bark and try and climb after them. As they ran along the Paris skyline they looked back and saw they were being followed, the Pack Leader in the back with his pack chasing after them. "How can we get away from them?"

"I don't know! That Akuma can control them and I think it might be able to share their senses, that's how he knew where we were. Lucky he doesn't seem to have increased their minds much when he made them bigger!" Chat Noir said as he vaulted over a building as Ladybug swung next to him. How can we get away from him to try and make a plan? I mean we need something to give us an edge, we need backup. Chat Noir thought as they ran over the roof tops. After losing the dogs they started to slow down and A feline screech from below caused them to stop and see a lone car-sized dog menacing a cat in front of a cardboard box on its side.

"What's happening?" Ladybug asked as they watched and saw the dog bat the cat away and move towards the box. "Why was that cat attacked? Chat?"

"No, that's! Get away from them!" Chat Noir roared and jumped at the dog with his baton extended and a look of rage on his face.

"Chat!" Ladybug called out looked at him as he attacked the dog and started to protect the box. Why is he…wait this is along his path to school, then that box! Her thoughts died as she jumped towards the flung cat and picked it up and hearing a barking saw two more of the large dogs running towards them. "Grab the box and let's get out of here Chat!"

Chat Noir batted the dog away and grabbed the box and they both jumped back to the roof and dashed along the skyline, the barking behind them caused her to look at him and then into the box, smiling as she saw three little kittens in it.

"So then these are the cats you talked about a few days ago?" Ladybug asked and Chat Noir nodded.

"Yeah, sorry for acting without telling you, but that dog looked hungry." Chat Noir said and Ladybug nodded as she watched him put the mother with her babies before going still.

"Why did that dog attack the cats?" Ladybug asked and Chat looked up from the box.

"What do you mean… the Akuma couldn't have known we were nearby, then that means he can only give commands to the dogs, but they still response like the animals they are." Chat Noir said and looked at Ladybug with a smirk. "And maybe distance is a factor too!"

"So we can slip away and get him from behind!" Ladybug said and looked down at the kittens before smiling at them. "After we get these little guys somewhere safe."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Later Chat Noir and Ladybug moved along the rooftops towards the sound of the barking quietly. As they reached a building that overlooked the where the backing came from. They saw four dogs looking around a plaza with a fountain in it, empty of other people and they found the Pack Leader and his mount, the truck sized dog drinking form the fountain looking away from them.

"This might be the best change we have, I think I can reach the whip and destroy it, that should give us the

and the Pack Leader was looking around away from them when suddenly his head shot up and looked towards them.

"Get them!" Pack Leader called without turning his head and two of the dogs jumped and attacked them! Chat Noir used his baton to fend his off while Ladybug jumped over hers and used her yoyo to cause it to stumble and threw it into the one attacking Chat Noir, sending them to street level.

"Come on, we can lose them at the Grand Palais!" Ladybug said as she discreetly put a thumb down and nodded when she saw that he had seen it.

"GO MY PACK, AFTER THEM!" Pack Leader roared and his truck sized mount howled to the sky and answering howls came back, Ladybug and Chat Noir running away from the site. As the Pack Master stood there and listened to his minions howling, an energy butterfly mask formed over his face.

"Why did you let them go?!" Hawkmoth's voice thundered through Pack Leader's head and he grunted and gestured for his mount to move.

"I overheard where they're going, I will get what you want Hawkmoth, don't worry." Pack Leader said as his mount started to carry him as the four dogs followed.

"Don't be too sure, they retreat now but they will be back and they will have a plan."Hawkmoth said and the Akuma laughed.

"I sent my pack out to find them, and they don't know all of my abilities yet." Pack Leader said and he clenched his free hand and smiled as his mount tensed beneath him.

"But how do you know that they'll really go there, that they didn't trick you?" Hawkmoth asked and Pack Leader scoffed and his eyes started to glow.

"Because their scents…don't go the right way." Pack Leader trailed off as Hawkmoth's mask disappeared from his face.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Think he figured it out yet?" Chat Noir asked only for a howl of rage to sound across Paris that caused him to frown. "Faster than I thought and we need to talk about how he found us back there."

"He can see through the eyes of his dogs, but only when their near him." Ladybug said as she nodded at Chat Noir. "But we need to find a way to keep him still so we can destroy the whip."

Chat nodded and looked at the city, trying to think of how they could do that. Maybe Chloe could help us, her Venom could paralyze it and then….. His thoughts died when he heard a sudden crash caused them to turn and see smoke rising in the distance. A beeping caused them to look at their weapons, opening them to their cellphone setting they quickly brought up the Ladyblog and saw a video of Pack Leader slashing out with his right hand and send bolts of green energy at a truck.

"Alya!" Ladybug said as she stared at it in anger. "How did they get there from the house so fast, and why does she always run towards danger!?"

"Don't know Ladybug, that's just who she is?" Chat Noir said and suddenly understood why she was always concerned about her getting into trouble like this. I should have seen it, it's so obvious! Still how are we going to…..wait that's?! Chat Noir stopped thinking as he saw where the Pack Leader was going. "That's nearby, we have moments before he gets here, time for a bit of luck."

"Right, Lucky Charm!" Ladybug cried and threw her yoyo upwards. As the energy coeleeed around it a shadow formed and fell towards them, the two of them moving away as the Charm hit the rooftop.

Chat Noir looked down at the red and black spotted massage bed and then at the dogs for a few moments before turning to look at Ladybug.

"Does that mean what I think it does my….Ladybug?" Chat Noir asked and Ladybug nodded.

"We need help, this might be bad….Hawkmoth can use that Akuma's minions to track us right to the Guardian!" Ladybug said as they looked down at the

"We can get around this….how long will it take for yours to recharge?" Chat Noir asked and Ladybug looked at him before nodding as she understood what he was saying.

"The same as yours, the plan?" Ladybug asked as she looked around, hearing the first beep that told her she was on a time limit.

"I'll make a distraction and led them towards the bridge to the 'Tower. You get away and get to the guardian. This is big bug; we need a lot of help." Chat Noir said and Ladybug looked out and hearing the sound of barks coming closer she nodded before grabbing Chat Noir in a hug.

"Good luck Kitty." She said and he looked at her hair in confusion before

"You too bug, we need Pegasus, Rena Rouge and Chloe." Chat Noir said and Ladybug looked at him before her eyes widened and smiled at him.

"Yeah, and Carapace for that claw….…I think I know how we can beat this with their help!" Ladybug said as she grinned at him, another beep caused her to look around for a place to transform back.

"Good luck, I'll meet you at the Arc to pick up Chloe's and Max's." Chat Noir said as he jumped away and ran along the rooftops, calling out when he saw a dog and Ladybug jumped away and found a place to detransform in privacy. As she fed Tikki a cookie she looked around away from the edge.

"What is it Marinette?" Tikki asked as she ate the cookie. This had to happen sooner or later, and this will be good in the long run.

"I just can't believe he's Chat, I mean I knew he was hiding a lot of his reactions but….." Marinette said and sighed and looked away. And that's a lot to think about….but he's right we need help and with how powerful this one is we need everyone! Should I get Luka and Kagami too, no four is more than enough. But how can I find Max….the app! She thought and grinned. "I need to find out what happened to the class, so I guess it's time for a roll call."

Marinette got out her phone and activated a chat app and sent out a message.

BakerDaughter; I just got my room closed and fixed, is everyone okay, besides Alya and maybe Nino?

AmazonSkater; Marinette are you okay? With what happened are you sure you want do this for us?

Private message to BakerDaughter from AmazonSkater; Mari, I'm so ashamed that I let that happen without speaking up, if you need me for anything let me know, okay?

BakerDaughter; No matter what happened to me, you all are my friends, so I'm making sure your all safe

PrincessBee; She's a sickeningly sweet person, get used to it. I'm perfectly safe at the hotel, last I saw Sabrina and her dad went out for a meal.

Private message to BakerDaughter from PrincessBee; Thanks, dad's at the office and the hotel has dropped the metal shudders and everyone is hiding in windowless rooms, stay safe with him okay?

PoliceChild; Dad and I are at a restaurant near the Saline, we helped everyone else to barricade the doors and windows, and most of us are hiding in the basement

Private message to BakerDaughter from PoliceChild; You and your parents got the stuff Chloe and I found, right? There were some good programs that had groups projects, dad even liked a few of them so maybe we could talk together about it?

HorrorFoe; Kitty Select is all mostly at the boat, we wanted to talk about a few things away from the school and the others are helping Miss Couffaine get the boat away from the docks, we got as many people who could reach us and are heading for an island in the river to anchor and ride this out.

AmazonSkater; I saw Nat head to the Library with Marci to work on their project, and I think muscles went to the gym and I know Max went home for lunch and to recharge Markov. Dad picked me up, I'm at the musiem with him and Jalil and we're hiding out.

RockRocker; Everyone at school is in the basement, students and teachers alike, Miss Mend took charge and brought everyone down here, Mr. D and Mr. H are barricading the doors.

Private message to BakerDaughter from SimianSimmer; Sorry for not speaking up, I never thought that Owl would do anything like that, I'll be turning this off and deleting the conversation, don't want Lila to see it. I texted my mom before this so I'll say that happened, Kim is distracting Lila with Aurora so sorry again.

Brainy; Hey, yeah I'm at my home, I've locked down all the doors and Markov is all charged up and is handling our security system

Private message to BakerDaughter from Brainy; Sorry about believing the paper napkin then, in my defense I hadn't slept over the weakend, research. If you need a witness call on me, please.

Marinette felt a tear leave her eyes. Lila won't win, I'll still have them when this is over, I might not be in class with them but their still my friends! Marintte thought as she sniffled and gained a smirk as she realized no matter what Lila did, her friends still believed in her, and she sent off a few private messages before closing the app.

Private message to HorrorFoe; Stay safe and thanks for that, I hope the Akuma stays away from the boat.

Private message to PoliceChild; Thanks for what you got me, and we should talk about it.

Private message to Brainy from BakerDaughter; When it happens and if we need character witness then you're one of them, thanks.

"You have good friends Marinette, and they'll stay with you, I know it." Tikki said causing Marinette to smile and looked at Tikki as she finished the cookie as she finished typing a general reply.

BakerDaughter; Going silent guys, stay safe all of you!

Marinette closed her phone and looked at Tikki with a smile. "This is going to be a bit easier then I feared."

"Then let's go!" Tikki said as she summersaulted and giggled.

"Right Tikki, Spots on!" Marinette said as she called out her transformation phase.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chat Noir ran along the rooftops, calling down to the dogs as they chased him along the streets. Looking over his shoulder he saw the Akuma screech as he looked over his shoulder, seeing the car sized dogs were all following him.

"After him my pack, after him!" Pack Leader screeched as his mount barked and the dogs speed up to follow his command. As Chat Noir reached the Saline he ran across the bridge, the dogs at his but heals but he pole vaulted to a building's roof just at the river's edge and ran away from the dogs, looking for the perfect place to slip back and strand them. Suddenly his instincts caused him to lung forwards and he saw an energy slash fly over his head and looked down and saw the Pack Leader panting as he glared. "You….Won't get away, faster my beast!"

"HOOOWWWLL!" As the truck sized dog howled Chat Noir ran faster, hoping that he would get away from the Akuma, planning as he went. Turning to the left suddenly he ran towards a lot behind a small street.

"Get away, you've got to get to cover!" Chat Noir cried and Pack Leader laughed and howled, his pack thundering down the side street towards the lot.

"That's perfect cat, once again you…..where'd he go?" Pack Leader said as he looked around and saw that the lot where he thought Chat Noir had gone to save civilians was empty of anyone or thing.

"Get back to the bridge, he's going to destroy it!" Hawkmoth's voice thundered as his mask appeared over Pack Leader's face and Pack Leader went white and roared, his hounds moving back towards the bridge, barking as they ran

As Chat Noir heard the sound of barking he looked over his shoulder and saw the dogs running behind him, Pack Leader just coming around and went still as he saw Chat Noir on the bridge, his free hand raised.

"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir cried out as he slammed his black glowing hand onto the bridge, quickly pole vaulting as his power moved along the bridge as the dogs chasing him stopped, feeling an insticual sense that something was wrong, turning and running back to the land. As the bridge disintegrated a few fell into the river and swam back to the shore as Pack Leader and his mount came and swore at Chat Noir from across the river.

"You won't escape, I'll find you and Ladybug!" Pack Leader screeched as Chat ran down the street as Pack Leader watched until he disappeared from sight and then gestured for the dogs to move towards another bridge, as he was carried off Hawkmoth's mark appeared again and Pack Leader scowled. "You could have seen that was what he planned sooner you know!"

"I told you that he was distracting you, when you couldn't see Ladybug you should have known something was up!" Hawkmoth said and Pack Leader bristled.

"Well sorry but tracking and taking down Superhero's isn't something I studied to be a vet!" Pack Leader said as he looked across the river and frowned when he thought he saw something glint in the sunlight for a second, shaking his head he howled and ten of his dogs charged ahead to find anyway they could across the Saline river. "Don't worry Hawkmoth I will get what you want, I swear it!"

"Remember Pack Leader, I can take away your powers and leave you with nothing, and what will happen to the dogs then?"Hawkmoth's question caused Pack Leader

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ladybug reached the cinema that she had last seen Master Fu at and jumped into an alley and dropped her transformation, Tikki hid in her purse and ran along alleyway until she made it to a door, stopping she looked around, making sure that there weren't any dogs or people around she knocked on the cinema. After a few moments the door opened and Master Fu looked up at her.

"Marinette, oh I thought I might see you because of this one." Fu said and let her into the building.

"Master Fu, I was worried that I wouldn't find you here." Marinette said as she looked around and saw a camera on the wall recording them. "That you let me in won't cause you much trouble with the owner will it?"

"Don't worry, I'm the owner. And I had the others bring in as many people as they could so their off the streets and they're playing an old movie from a few years ago, partly to see if I should do an 'oldies' set. " Fu said and Marinette looked at him in shock, he only shrugged. "What, the long life I led gave me a few chances to invest here and there, I made a good nest egg that I used to buy this place and a few others here and when he began he attacks."

"We can talk about that later, this Akuma is so powerful we need a lot of help, and yours."

"A lot of help… which Miraculous do you need?" Fu asked as he led her into a staircase he opened with a keycard and down to a small room with all the furniture from his old room at his message pallor, with the phonograph in the center. As he opened it and revealed the Miraculous box which opened and he gestured to it.

"The Fox, the Horse, the Turtle and the Bee." Marinette said and Fu whistled as and looked at her for a few moments. "Master Fu?"

"It has been a long time since so many Miraculous were active at the same time, not since that mass attack….but if you think that they are all needed then yes I will send them out into the world." Fu said and gestured towards the Miraculous as he took his off.

"Thank you Master Fu." Marinette said and bowed to him.

"Don't worry my dear, just be safe and make sure they are too. And here are two bags to carry them in." Fu said as he gestured towards them. As Marinette put the bags to use Fu hid a frown and looked at her, something within him telling him that she was troubled and hiding something from him. Whatever it is I'll ask her after she comes back, that way I can get an answer about what's bothering her. I just hope it isn't too bad. Fu thought as he watched Marinette go back up the stairs and realized something and reached for a nearby cabinet. "Oh, wait a moment Marinette, I have a few snacks for them, take them with you."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chat Noir dashed along the rooftops and looked around, watching as some brave people ran about below him, helping others get to safety while they could. As he ran a smirk started growing as he saw the people come together. That's why I love this town, like on hero day the city comes together to help each other! And now to do my part. He thought as he reached the Arc and saw Ladybug with a small bag over her shoulder and one in her hands, one small box opened and she closed it before handing it to him.

"Here are the Miraculous for Chloe and Pegasus, they're at the hotel and home respectfully." Ladybug said and Chat Noir nodded at her. "Master Fu put some food for them so they can recharge if we have to."

"Good, got it Ladybug, I led Pack Leader across the river and destroyed the bridge we used. I last saw him and his pack heading east and we'll probably see them again soon. Where should I take them to meet up?" Chat Noir asked nad Ladybug looked around the city before nodding.

"The stadium, that's where we'll meet up. With luck we can make a plan there." Ladybug said as she looked at him, the sound of barking causing them to tense. "Good luck kitty, I'll try and get to Carapace and Rena without letting the dogs see me."

"You too bug." Chat Noir said as he nodded before dashing off towards the help the two of them needed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Max looked around his house and frowned as he sat down in his room, his mind going over everything that he knew about Lila, not liking anything. Fact, once she came back from her 'vacation' she immediately started to make up stories. Fact, I wear glasses, so anything thrown at my eyes would hit them first. Fact, since then she's tried to monopolize Adrien's time. Fact, she's made comments that while on the surface don't seem to be evil they sometimes presented Marinette in a bad light. Results; Lila has been conducting a campaign against Marinette and getting her expelled was the final step…why? Was it because Marinette was the only one who saw through her lies…and we didn't believe her. And if she's trying to isolate Adrien, then he either knows too and didn't think we'd believe him and/or Lila was after him from the start. Max thought as he tried to come to terms with what he had figured out.

"This is terrible; I mean I can't believe it!" Max said as he stood up and walked carefully around his room, stepping over the various projects he had on the ground. "How did I let myself ignore the evidence before me, what's wrong with me?"

"What is it Max?" Markov asked as he flew after Max who looked out his window.

"Lila, she's been after Marinette since she got back! And I'll bet that the string of events that caused Marinette's expulsion were all done on purpose! A necklace that was an heirloom, and why didn't she make a bigger stink about it being stolen the day it happened, why only bring it up after the test and her falling down the stairs? It had to have been planned, all of it!" Max said with a glare and shook his head. "And I was too shocked to even say anything when it happened, Ivan and Kim went to talk to Mr. Damocles and I just went home to eat."

"Max, you were shocked and confused, it did make sense to go over everything where you take time….. and with the attack school will be canceled for the rest of the day to deal." Markov said and Max sighed and shook his head.

"There has to be something we can find to help Marinette. There has to be something!" Max said and Markov hovered.

"Max, at least she seemed happy over the chat app, and if she's still fighting." Markov said and Max nodded. "All we have to do is…why is Chat Noir here?"

"What?" Max asked and turned his head to look at Markov as he hovered there.

"Chat Noir is running towards the house, I don't see the anything and according to the alert the Akuma is far away, why would he be here….." Markov trailed off as Max went still. "Max?"

"I can only thing of one reason that he would be here, and if I'm right then I need you to wait here Markov." Max said as he walked out of his room. Markov hovered before going to the computer and hooked himself to the computer, readying himself with what the two of them had talked about.

Chat Noir landed on Max's roof and was wondering how to let him know he was there when Max walked onto the roof from a door.

"Chat Noir, what's wrong, do you need my help?" Max asked as Chat Noir looked at him before holding up a box.

"Max Kanté, this is the Miraculous of the Horse with the Power of Teleportation. I trust that with this to help us handle this threat. Afterworlds you will give this back, can we trust you to return this to us?" Chat Noir asked with a smirk and Max nodded.

"Yes, anything I can do to help and make up for my inaction, I will." Max said and Chat looked at him.

"Inaction, did something happen that you could have stopped but didn't?" Chat asked in a sclueless manor and Max nodded.

"There's this girl at school, Lila. She….I'm almost a hundred percent sure that she got a friend of mine expelled on purpose." Max said with a growl. Chat Noir nodded impassively, inwardly thanking all his model experience that let him keep what he was feeling off his face.

"People are complicated, I can't say anything about what happened to your friend, but I can say that the only way to go forward is to acknowledge what you did wrong." Chat Noir said trying to sound wise.

"Thanks, let's do this." Max said as he opened the box.

As soon as Max opened the box a ball of light formed above a pair of glasses with circular frames and a small creature with a gray head with a white mane, muzzle, arms, legs, and underbelly formed from it. She had light green eyes, eyelashes, pointed horse ears with white insides, and a thick white tail that curves outwards.

"Greetings again Master Kanté, how have you been?" Kaalki asked and Max grinned as he took off his glasses and put them into a pocket as he took up the Miraculous

"Kaalki, Full Gallop!" Max called out. As he thrust his arms out a black bodysuit formed from his hands and feet crawling up his body while his shoes formed two wing spikes on the back. As the suit formed, his hair chased to a lighter brown color and braided into dreadlocks. As Pegasus looked at Chat Noir he grinned back. "Ready to help and Markov is ready to do any long-range hacking from my room, what's the plan?"

"For now we need to get Queen Bee, she's needed for this to work." Chat Noir said and Pegasus winced and nodded.

"This must be a real problem if you and Ladybug need two helpers." Pegasus said and Chat laughed a little.

"You have no idea my friend, no idea." Chat Noir said and jumped to another building, Pegasus following behind him a little confused.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Alya looked around the alley she and Nino were hiding in and sighed as she saw that the dogs were still gone. "Okay, we can try for one of our homes or maybe find a place to let us in."

"Shelter in place, that's what the mayor said and don't let anyone in after you see an Akuma, remember Alya?" Nino said as he looked around.

"Yeah… I forgot about that. Who knew that zombies could scare people so much?" Alya said with a shrug. Nino just shook his head at his girlfriend's joke.

"I don't know what I expect when this year began, but seeing a zombie apocalypse of kissing zombies wasn't it." Nino said flatly and Alya laughed shakily as she looked around and tried to spot anything, he was keeping his ears open for any sign of any dogs.

"Didn't expect anything like this when mom moved us here for her job. And then there's what we both share you know?" Alya asked, using the code word they had chosen for what Ladybug had given them, the chance she had taken by trusting them.

"There you are, quick over here!" A voice farther down the alley caused them to turn and see Ladybug looked at them from behind a corner. The two of them looked at each other before rushing after her and followed Ladybug to a dead end alley with no windows, the sun overhead causing shadows to cover the alley in a gentle darkness.

"Ladybug, what is it?" Alya asked and Nino looked around, hoping to find a hint of what had caused Ladybug to call them here.

"I came because to beat this Akuma, Chat and I need help." Ladybug said and Alya and Nino looked at each other before looking at Ladybug.

"Who do you need?" Alya asked and Ladybug grinned.

"Both of you. Alya Césaire, Nino Lahiffe; these are the Miraculous of the Fox and Turtle with the powers of Illusion and Protection. I am giving you these to protect the greater good; once this is done can I trust you two to return them to me?" Ladybug asked and Alya and Nino both nodded.

"Yeah, Ladydudette, you can trust me!" Nino said and Alya nodded as they accepted the two boxes.

"Same with me Ladybug, I'll do everything I can to help!" Alya said and frowned a little. "But could we talk about something else later, could you come by my building tonight?"

"What is it?" Ladybug asked and Alya looked down.

"A girl named Lila made a lot of bosts and lies, one of them was saying that she was a friend of yours, your best friend." Alya began and saw the frown form on Ladybug's face. "But I'm thinking that was another lie, can you stop by tonight and give me a recording of what Lila really is, how she dealt with you?"

"For now we'll need to focus on this Akuma, we can talk about that later. For now can I trust you to help?" Ladybug asked and Alya smirked back.

"Do you even have to ask?" Alya said as she opened her box as Nino did the same and two balls of light formed above them. From Alya's ball a small fox creature and from Nino's came a turtle.

"Nino!" Wayzz said with a grin as he appeared.

"Alya, how are you?" Trixx asked and Alya grinned as she put on the Fox Miraculous as Nino put the Turtle bracelet around his right wrist.

"Dude, it's great to see you!" Nino said as he fist bumped with Wayzz as Trixx summersaulted and looked at Alya.

"Getting better Trixx, I fell for a few lies and let a witch get my best friend expelled." Alya said causing Trixx to look at Wayzz who kept his face neutral. "I'm trying to help her now, and….I will make amends with her about this."

"Once you know you've done wrong, if you make up for it, that's the true mark of being a good person. Not doing good all the time, but knowing when you've done wrong and how you fix it." Trixx said wisely causing Alya to look at her. "A lot of my heroes in the past have learned that lesson sooner or later."

"Thanks Trixx, but let's do this. Ready Nino?" Alya asked and Nino snorted.

"Ready dudette, let's do it!" Nino said as he grinned at her. "Wayzz, Shell On!"

"Trixx, let's pounce!" Alya called out with a grin.

As green energy flashed over Nino and orange energy flashed over Alya. As Nino gained a green bodysuit with a hoodie with silver semicircle on the front, curved red-eye designs on the sides with black and golden details, and two small light green ovals below the bottom of the hood's opening. Over his eyes, Carapace wears black goggles with yellow-green lenses, and underneath the suit, he has a black collar. On his suit, he has six hexagon-shaped light green circles on his chest, and he has dark gray hexagon-shaped protective pads on his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. The Turtle Miraculous bracelet is on his right wrist. Also, Carapace wears dark green boots with an indent between his big toe and other toes, dark gray outsoles, and two indents on two sides of each boot. A shield of dark green on one side and light green on the other appeared on his back. Alya's transformation left her in an orange bodysuit as her air grew longer, becomes a three-tone ombré, having the roots turn dark red/red-orange, mixing to orange with the tips being white, and she wears her hair back into a high ponytail with an orange headband, the top layer of her suit, akin to an overcoat, was orange with a white front, a black swan-necked collar, and black arms and gloves up to the middle of her upper arms. The overcoat layer attaches down the vertical front center with a zipper, and the Fox Miraculous becomes the zipper. The overcoat also has a long fox tail-like coattail that ends a bit below her knees at a sharp white tip. The bottom layer of her suit is orange with a white center on the front of the body and black legs starting at a point in the middle of her upper legs. She also wears black boots with orange soles and black fox paw print markings. Across her eyes was an orange mask with a white bottom half and a black mark above each eye and two orange fox ears with white insides, black tips, and black edges were attached to the top of her head. A Flute formed on her back as the transformation finished and the two fo them stood before Ladybug.

"What's the plan Ladydudette?" Carapace asked as he drew his shield as Rena Rouge drew her flute.

"Follow, me we'll meet with Chat and the others at the stadium, that's where we'll make a plan." Ladybug said as she jumped up to the rooftops, Rena and Carapace following in her wake. As they moved over the rooftops, Rena moved with a frown on her face. How bad is this one that all of us are needed, even Chloe? I just hope that it's not as bad as I fear. She thought before she heard a bark far behind them and they all moved faster.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chloe looked around her room and sighed. Of course the Akuma did have to happen around the day after the attack, wonderful. I just can't believe this! I just can't! She thought as she looked around her room and shook her head. As she moved towards her desk and moved the few brochures about home schooling on them, the few that had group projects causing her to sigh. "And to think that my final limit would be hit before I left that place, I truly didn't think that would happen."

The sound of two people landing outside on her balcony caused her to turn and see Chat Noir and a figure with dark skin in a dark brown bodysuit with black glasses and light gray hair in dreads following as Chat Noir led the way into the room.

"Sorry to bother you Chloe but it really had to happen." Chat said as he grinned at her.

"What's the problem stray, and who's that?" Chloe asked as the dreadlocked figure looked at her, she could tell that he was surprises at how she treated Chat Noir.

"The name's Pegasus." Pegasus said coolly and Chloe smirked a little.

"So what's the problem, need to use the hotel as a part of the plan to take this Akuma down?" Chloe asked and Chat Noir shook his head.

"Not exactly." Chat said as he reached into the bag he was carrying and removed a red box that caused her to gasp.

"You can't be….." Chloe trailed off as Chat Noir nodded.

"Yes. Chloe Bourgeois, this is the Miraculous of the Bee with the power of Subjection. You will use this to help us and afterwards you will give this back, can I trust you to do this?" Chat asked and Chloe nodded

"Of course! Anything to help Paris!" Chloe said as she took the box and opened it. a ball of light formed into a small yellow creature with two black antennae and three curved stripes wrap around her head and a lighter yellow tuff of fur around her neck, her arms and legs were solid black and her eyes were golden with blue sclerae.

"My Queen!" Pollen called as she hugged Chloe's check. "How are you, is your hive okay?" Pollen asked as she nuzzled against Chloe who laughed a little.

"Better now that you're here Pollen." Chloe said softly as she laughed a little.

Pegasus only looked on, taking every bit of his control not to let his emotions show. So Chloe has a tender side after all, I did not expect this. Goes to show you that people are complicated like Chat said, and I guess people have reasons for showing what sides they do..

Pollen, Buzz On!" Chloe said before yellow energy engulfed her, forming first a black domino mask across her eyes From her shoes a golden glow started to go up her body, transforming her shoes into black boots that went to her knees while her clothing became a yellow suit that went up her neck with two black stripes on her thighs and three black stripes on her torso with the top one the size of a corset that stopped at the top of her breasts and the sleeves were black turning into gloves with yellow fingers, a spinning top and it's string formed on her waist and Queen Bee stood there.

"So the plan needs help besides me then?" Queen Bee asked and Chat Noir nodded.

"Yeah, I'll let Ladybug tell you the full plan but we REALLY needed the help with this one." Chat Said and Pegasus looked at him as Chat Noir led the way to the edge of the roof. "Now we need to meet up at the stadium."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ladybug, Carapace and Rena Rouge landed in front of the stadium and Ladybug looked around, sighing when she didn't see any dogs. Perfect, with this we might be able to do it

"So what's the plan Ladydudette?" Carapace asked as he grinned at her.

"We wait for the others, then we plan." Ladybug said as she smiled and looked up.

"So the plan needs Queen Bee…..Who's that?" Rena Rouge asked as she turned and saw Chat Noir, Queen Bee and Pegasus. As the three heroes landed Rena Rouge and Carapace could only look at the 'new hero'.

"Greetings, I'm Pegasus nice to formally meet you both." Pegasus said as he stood next to Chat Noir and Queen Bee. Rena Rouge only stared at him in shock, wondering where he had come from before Carapace nudged her and she shook herself.

"Rena Rouge, nice to meet you, this is Carapace." Rena Rouge said and Carapace nodded.

"Sup dude, nice to meet you." Carapace said and Pegasus nodded back.

"Thanks, Chat said this Akuma needed all of us so what's the problem with it besides the attack and controlling the dogs?"

"He can see through their eyes and senses, he's tracked us by scent before and when we thought we had him a dog saw us and he saw us through it." Ladybug said as Chat Noir nodded.

"We need all your powers to handle this one. This one will have to be a team effort to survive." Chat Noir said as the others looked around and saw how serious it was.

"So then why I'm needed makes sense then." Pegasus said as he looked around. "We need to get the Akuma away from the dogs, yes?"
