Welcome to the end of not only this story, but this trilogy. I hope you all enjoyed it.

Marinette looked out the window one more time and then closed the blinds. She needed to focus and call for help. There was no doubt if all the worlds she had been too had appeared, then so should the other versions of herself and the physical bodies of Adrien's other-selves.

She went down the stairs and saw her business was still intact and that her employees had vacated the premises as she ordered them to. She felt it would be a safe place to meet because the wards on the building had prevented the first part of the wish from stacking the buildings on top of one another.

"How are you going to ensure the others see the beacon without showing where you are to Hawkmoth? He's barely started the editing process and he'll send out search parties for you if you don't appear soon," Wayzz asked worriedly.

"I know that Wayzz. I plan to confront him, but without backup, it will be suicide. We need all the help we can get and that includes finding a substitute for Adrien to assist us. I just hope that Ladybug has her Chat Noir with her."

Entering the lobby of her business, she sat down in front of the receptionist's desk and started to meditate. Relaxing her mind, she connected with the spiritual energy inside her.

She pictured the energy inside her like a string and started to pluck it. She could hear the music echoing in her mind and soul. Calling out to her soul sisters. She plucked it a few more times and the echo got louder and louder as it called out.

A few seconds later, she felt the call resonate back to her. She sensed the spiritual energy of Master Fu and if Adrien calling back to her. Opening her eyes, she knew that her help would soon be arriving.

Standing up, she started moving some of the furniture in the waiting room to one side so everyone would have a chance to sit down and stretch themselves out. She prayed that everyone would make it here okay.

A minute later, Ladybug along with her Chat Noir and Master Fu, entered the building. The wards had been designed to keep out anyone whose spiritual energy was not on the approval list during crises.

"PT, I'm glad to see you. What's going on?" Ladybug asked as the two superheroines hugged each other tightly.

"I'll inform you when the rest of the group appears," she assured her. "Wayzz, could you go get the vegetable dyes I set aside upstairs. We're going to need a way to distinguish the Master Fu's from one another."

Turning to Chat Noir, she smiled at him. "Chat, can you come with me for a minute. I need to talk to you privately about something. LB, can you greet the others as they come in?"

They nodded and PT ushered Chat Noir into the stockroom to explain what she needed his help in. As soon as she locked the door she locked eyes with Chat Noir and stated, "I need you to substitute for my Adrien."

"What now?" Chat asked in a confused voice. "I hate to break it too you Turtle Girl, but I am one of a kind original whose heart belongs to My Lady."

Rolling her eyes, PT stomped her foot on his by "accident" when she leaned forward to get into his face. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

The boy huffed and muttered something before saying he would listen.

"Currently my Adrien and the rest of my team have been captured and are prisoners of Tristan Agreste aka Hawkmoth. He used my Adrien to summon his other souls so he could make his wish to bring all their worlds together as one.

My boyfriend is a Two because I made him into one. According to the Miraculous Book, I can temporarily shift his abilities as a Two to another version of himself as long as they share the same Miraculous."

Pointing to his ring she explained that if he took on these abilities temporarily, he could call the souls back to their physical bodies that would be arriving here momentarily.

"It's going to take the power of fourteen heroes to resolve this battle. A lot is on the line here Chat Noir. I need everyone to cooperate or else my Hawkmoth wins. So, will you help me, please?"

In the lobby, the others had arrived. The heroines and their Great Guardians had been carrying the limp bodies of the heroes before laying them out on the floor.

Having foreseen the issue with all the Great Guardians wearing the same outfit, Wayzz handed out the dyes so their shirts corresponded to the heroine in their world.

Ladybug was sitting next to R-Fu. He seemed to be enjoying seeing himself mentoring other Miraculous wielders successfully. The door to the stockroom opened and out walked PT and Chat Noir. She was surprised to see a seven-pointed star glowing on his right hand.

He pressed his hand over the heart of the other Adrien's repeating the words PT whispered to him. As he moved through the group, each one received the corresponding colored point.

Pressing his hand to his own heart, Chat Noir closed his eyes and focused intensely on the other heroes. He recalled meeting a few of them. His spiritual energy vibrated calling to the ones stuck in the portal.

A few minutes later, the other boys' eyes opened and they sat up. The girls checked over their partners as PT settled down next to Gui-Chel and G-Fu. Clearing her throat everyone turned their attention to her.

"I am glad to see all of you are here safely. We have a lot to discuss, but very little time to do so. I'm going to give you a brief update before we move on, but first I wanted to ask a question to our Great Guardians."

The masters all looked at her as she asked what they believed happened to their versions of Hawkmoth/evil beings. It was vital to know in the event they would be having to defeat more than one version of Hawkmoth.

The masters huddled together and talked it over. They reviewed what they knew about the parameters for the wish and what measures this Hawkmoth took to ensure nothing would interfere with his wish.

G-Fu spoke to PT. "Without firsthand knowledge of exactly what Hawkmoth added or changed to the ritual, we can't be certain of everything. However, since you've mentioned that your Hawkmoth is a proto-soul we are sure he took steps to prevent other versions of him/ other villains from interfering.

Most likely, they are trapped somewhere nearby and under heavy guard to ensure they stay put."

Most likely he using a huge portion of his recent recruits to help him with that PT thought to herself. Pushing that thought out of her head she gave her brief update about what was happening.

In turn, she learned about what happened to each team and what they had witnessed outside before coming here. Indeed it was a mess out there looked rather a hodgepodge.

"When it comes down to it, we are the only ones in the position to either undo this wish or makes things even worse should we fall and become Hawkmoth's slaves.

As demonstrated twice, when we work together and unleash the full power of our Miraculous, we can do extraordinary magic which greatly affects our reality. Hawkmoth wants to use me to control the editing process, which in turn means all of you would be forced to help as well."

Taking a deep breath she continued. "I have researched a few spells and want to discuss them with everyone so we can come up with the best plan to succeed. While our main goal is to undo the wish, our goal should be also to correct the underlying problem so this doesn't happen again."

"Which means we need to find a way to stabilize the proto-soul world and break the connection between originator and proto-soul correct?" Gui Chel asked. His counterpart nodded her head.

"None of you signed up to help defeat my version of Hawkmoth, but I could use your help. If I can reclaim the Butterfly Miraculous then there would be one less Hawkmoth to deal with and we could eventually help each other defeat their enemies. Are you with me?"

Everyone nodded sending a feeling of relief through PT's body. Now it was time to figure out a plan. It was not an easy thing to do with people butting heads and the Great Guardians debating with each other, on whether or not they should use these powerful and dangerous spells.

It took an hour for everyone to agree and in that period of time, Hawkmoth had edit the entire arrondissement his townhouse was in. He was getting frustrated and on edge by the fact Peridot Turtle hadn't shown her face.

Which was why he was delighted when Ant Lioness reported that Peridot Turtle and her other souls, and surprisingly Adrien's other souls, were on their way and were right now dealing with some of the new recruits.

"They are currently fighting Lemmings-Heart, (Ice cream Andre), Komodo King, (Jagged), and Princess Mantis, (Rose). Should I contact them to back off?"

"Not just yet, merely tell them to slow them down for a little bit and then let them go so they can get here. Trickster, go downstairs and pick someone on guard duty that is non-essential for watching the other villains, to join us up here. After all, we want this fight to be fair.

Artemis, could you be a dear and fortify our defenses around our prisoners so they don't get caught up in the battle? Everyone else, please be on your guard our visitors will be arriving soon."

Back with the heroes, they were doing their best to defeat the recruits as quickly as possible to minimize the amount of energy spent fighting. That meant not using their powers or special abilities.

Malin and Bumblebee were caught up in trying to drive Lemming-Heart towards Huli Jing and Abeille Jaune so they could paralyze him. It wasn't easy.

"I will not be bested by a predator or pest! I'm too smart for that!" Lemming-Heart declared. He appeared to be dressed in a onesie that resembled a lemming. He twirled a chain with a ball connected to it nearly striking Malin.

"Watch the fur miscreant!" Malin barked at the enemy before leaping out of range of the ball and chain a second time. "You should be hiding under the snow cowering from me."

Lemming-Heart rolled his eyes and scoffed. "I never have nor will I ever cower to anyone. You will feel the intensity of my displeasure." He lowered his head slightly and charged the fox while bearing his teeth.

Malin didn't know which was to dodge the direct attack. Seeing his friend in trouble, Bumblebee slid across the rooftop and kicked out his left leg landing a hit on the proto-soul being's right hip.

"AH!" the man groaned stopping in his tracks for five seconds. He heard something coming down from the sky on him so he jumped back three times.

"Dang it, I missed him," Abeille Jaune bemoaned as she recalled her trompo once more. She had been trying to hit the guy from above with her weapon to disrupt his balance, but Lemming-Heart was faster than he looked as Huli Jing was learning.

Komodo King swung his massive tail forward, sending Teal Peacock and Chat Noir to the ground. As the supervillain whipped his tail around a second time, Conchillian and Gui-Chel flung their weapons at him only for them to bounce off his chest.

Komodo King yawned and patted his lips bored. "This is not what I was expecting when I took over my originator. I had anticipated I would have time to play my viola before having to engage in fisticuffs."

Gui Chel commented. "He certainly doesn't fight like a dragon."

"Sounds like the king is a royal bore," Chat Noir quipped.

"Believe me, he's got nothing on the real deal," Teal Peacock whispered to himself. Out of the corner of his right eye, he spotted Ombre and Mariposa sneaking forward just one level below.

Meanwhile, the rest of the girls were dealing with Princess Mantis. It was a well-known fact that female praying mantises were five times bigger than the males and she was now the exception.

She was twice as tall as the other heroines and twice as speedy. Already, she had nearly torn Peridot Turtle's shell off, followed by ripping Belle Bleue's scarf off her neck.

This set off Chat Noire, who launched herself on top off Princess Mantis and was using her sharp claws trying to slice open the outfit while Ladybug wrapped her yo-yo around the super villainess's insect arms and pull tightly on the string, struggling to keep the arms from opening up again.

"I could use a little help here!"

"On it!" Peridot Turtle used her meteor hammer in the same manner as Ladybug.

Even with her being dragged to the ground and Belle Bleue's fan striking the back of her legs, Princess Mantis wouldn't give up. "Your heads will roll so help me!"

PT and LB dug deep as it became harder to keep the arms closed. Chat Noire was thrown off the villainess and caught by BB. At that moment Princess Mantis managed to free her arms sending the girls crashing into one another.

The others had been sent hurtling towards the edge of the rooftop. Lemming-Heart, Komodo King, and Princess Mantis closed in on the Miraculous wielders believing they would get untold glory for capturing them.

That's when two large flitters of butterflies descend upon the villains. They swirled around and around disorienting the villains. They didn't see the wielders use the distraction to slip past and continue on their way to Hawkmoth's home.

Ombre and Mariposa were waiting for them patiently a few rooftops away. "Everyone okay? We sent our flitters as soon as we got a safe distance away," Ombre explained.

"You got us out of a jam, don't worry. We're fine and ready to have a throw down with Hawkmoth," Chat Noire stated while licking her lips in anticipation.

Back with Hawkmoth, Foxboy struggled to get out of his bindings. After Artemis created a makeshift shelter comprised of her arrows and a metal sheet she found stored the back of the lab.

Being a fox, he had managed to get the handcuffs off his wrists, giving him more freedom to work on undoing his binds. He gave a sideways glance at Rusty Bee. "Can you tell if my bindings are coming undone?" he whispered.

Rusty Bee leaned back on her chair slightly and then righted herself. "You've managed to untangle half of one rope. You need to do several more before there loose enough for you to slip out."

"How are Adrien and Mr. Agreste doing?" Hera asked as she leaned forward a little. Gabriel was trying to rouse his son, who still had the collar around his neck with the leash dangling just out of his father's reach.

Artemis's last command had been to sit quietly and do nothing until she came back to remove the device. Gabriel hoped that if a new owner took command of the leash, the last user's orders would cancel out.

"I'm fine child. I'm more concerned about Adrien and the damage this magical device has done to him," Gabriel snapped at Hera. He was becoming more unpleasant the longer they remained prisoners.

Outside the makeshift enclosure, the villains had formed a protective shield around Hawkmoth. They had been joined by Tanuki, (Kagami), who's Disastrous was a pinky ring. Her outfit looked exactly like the raccoon dog from which her villain name was derived from. Attached to her belt were mini bombs.

Ocelot Blanc's lips curled as his vision locked onto the approaching heroes. He bared his teeth when he spotted a different Chat Noir approaching. "I can't believe there's more than one of him."

Indigo Dragon touched his shoulder. "Focus! You can rip him apart after our world is fully restored," she reminded him.

Her partner relaxed a micro inch. He gripped his jian as he got ready to fight. The others did the same thing as Hawkmoth reminded them one last time they could mar them, but to not kill them, especially not Peridot Turtle.

Peridot Turtle halted the group as they came to a stop across the street from Hawkmoth. She scanned the street, noting how shiny and elegant it was. So he's reverted this to the area to its proto-soul world look.

"Stick to the plan and watch out for each other. Remember, what our goal is," she whispered to the group. The others gave her a subtle nod. Taking another step forward she called out.

"I have to say I'm impressed Hawkmoth. I didn't think you could control the amount of power your wish granted. Still, one neighborhood is not the same as trying to rewrite the entire universe. This needs to stop now!"

Hawkmoth laughed and clutched the stone tighter in his hands. "I think you're mistaken, Ms. Turtle. It is I who shall stop you." He slammed his cane down. That appeared to be the signal as the seven villains attacked.

In a pre-planned formation, the pairs broke apart, each one going after a different villain. Ladybug and Chat Noir were intercepted by Ocelot Blanc while Chat Noire got the jump on Tanuki before she could toss her first bomb, Conchillian hot on her heels.

Artemis was battle dancing with Huli Jing and Bumblebee. Trickster seemed to be enjoying herself as she targeted Abeille Jaune and Malin promising they were going to have a fun time with her.

Mariposa, Teal Peacock, and Ant Lioness were getting into a brawl, while Lockjaw seemed determined to defeat Belle Bleue and Ombre without any help.

That just left her and Gui-Chel dealing with Indigo Dragon, who was putting all that practice into use. She had stayed out of their reach waiting for the two turtles to make the first move.

Gui-Chel has taken a single step forward and she had used the opportunity to get in close and slammed the heel of her hand into his nose. It didn't break though his eyes teared making him unprepared when she slammed her knee into his chest. Lighting fast she grabbed the boy and tossed him over her shoulders.

She spun to slash him with her dagger, but Peridot Turtle used her meteor hammer to knock the weapon out of Indigo Dragon's hands. The villainous abandoned the weapon as she charged towards Peridot Turtle.

Only it was a bluff. To the female Great Guardian's surprise, Indigo Dragon stopped her charge, backflipped twice and snatched her dagger off the ground. Instead of going after Peridot Turtle, she shifted gears to attack Gui-Chel.

Fortunately, he was prepared and tossed something at the girl's face who slashed her dagger, cutting the small bag in half, releasing a powder all over her face.

She started to cough violently and then scratch at her face. The powder made her skin feel like it was burning. Sheathing her weapon, she used her gloved hands to wipe the powder off her face, giving the two turtles the chance to regroup.

Back with Chat Noir and Ladybug, the cat hero was forgoing his usual quips and puns as he fought to stay alive. Ocelot Blanc was an excellent swordsman and tenacious as he attempted to corner the door.

"Any ideas My Lady? We're losing ground here," Chat told her as extended his baton to block a sword strike coming at Ladybug. She grabbed the baton as they both pushed back hard.

Ocelot Blanc stood strong and kept pushing right back. He took a tiny step forward only to lose his footing as his shoes got stuck in a crack. While swaying Chat Noir swung the baton back, which Ladybug ducked under, before it came crashing into his side causing him to drop to his knees.

Ladybug started swinging her yo-yo around to form a shield as she pushed her partner behind her. "We have to stick with the plan. Just keep fighting and avoid being maimed by him."

"I HATE BLACK CATS!" Ocelot Blanc screeched as he stood up. His eyes were nearly black indicating the violence he hoped to inflict on these two.

Tanuki was fast and had precise aim no matter if it was with a foil or a bomb. She tossed a bomb at Chat Noire's feet and it went off disorienting her. As she stumbled about Tanuki tossed another one that went off midair, sending shrapnel at the cat heroine.

Conchillian jumped in front of his love and blocked the shrapnel with his cape. Thanks to the magic, it didn't shred. Flinging it back over his shoulders he let his yo-yo fly and the weapon wrapped around Tanuki's right ankle.

He yanked the string down and to the left. Tanuki's aim was off slightly when she threw her bomb.

Chat Noire, now oriented again, jumped on her partner's shoulders and swung her baton like a bat, sending the explosive into the air where it went off without hurting anyone.

Tanuki looked at her foes with a new twinkle in her eyes. "Such underhanded tactics. Perhaps you aren't as boring as I was lead to believe."

Mariposa was having a hard time as she blocked another strike from Ant Lioness's staff. Those pincers worked. Right now they were clasped tightly around her cane, trying to crush it.

"Butterflies are so fragile. It's no wonder you die out so quickly," Ant Lioness commented as she pressed the button on her staff to make the pincers tighten their hold.

"You forget that only the larva are predators while the adults love pollen and nectar as much as butterflies do!" she snapped as she freed her cane. At that second Teal Peacock came up behind Ant Lioness.

He swung his battle fan at an angle, to cut off her wings. Clumsily, Ant Lioness jumped up and hovered poorly. Antlions were not very skillful fliers. The supervillainess would have to rethink her strategy.

Lockjaw was doing his best in his battle against the heroes. He had already managed to take Belle Bleue and Ombre's weapons from them. Even without their weapons, the two heroes were shockingly good.

Belle Bleue undid her scarf and tossed one end to her partner. Ombre grabbed it and the two used it as a rope as they ran at Lockjaw. He was to slow and the magical scarf was stronger than it looked.

When it came into contact with his abdomen he was flipped over landed on his back. He struggled to get back up as the heroes came closer. Thankfully, he used his grabbling hook to pull himself upright.

Over with Artemis and Trickster, the girls worked together to push back the quartet of heroes towards the prisoners' shelter. The goal was to trap them as well to force Peridot Turtle to do as Hawkmoth had asked her to do.

Trickster weaved in and around as Huli Jing and Bumblebee tried to catch her. "I admire your persistence, but there's no way you're going to catch me!"

"Not to mention, my arrows always hit their mark," Artemis chimed as she fired another arrow at Abeille Jaune and Malin as they used their weapons to deflect the arrows.

Shooting out her trompo, Abeille Jaune allowed the weapon to cinch around one of the mechanical arms that were holding the lab up in the sky. Grasping Malin's wrist they zipped away from the next barrage.

"I hate playing around like this? Can't I use my powers yet?" Malin whined. His girlfriend hushed him.

"We have to stick to the plan. It's the only way we'll be able to stop Hawkmoth and restore everything to normal," she whispered in his ears. The blond hair fox frowned but didn't say another word.

Huli Jing let out a high pitched note from her flute causing their attacker to cover her ears. Bumblebee quickly buzzed over and whispered into the fox girl's ears, "Everyone is nearly in position. It is time to start phase two."

Hearing this, Huli Jing blew another high pitched note to get everyone's attention before she played an entire scale up and back down. That was the signal they had been waiting for.

The teams renewed their efforts to defeat their opponents. Zealously, they engaged their opponents once more. They got in closer as one member attacked and the other reached for the Disastrouses.

The villainous teens dodged the attacks and then used their weapons to capture both opponents. Within two minutes, all the partners were captured. Everyone, except for Peridot Turtle, was placed in a circular cage with the proto-souls kept their weapons on the, daring them to make a move.

Indigo Dragon dragged PT up onto the raised platform and tossed her towards Hawkmoth's feet. She then pressed the heel of her boot down on the girl's shelled back. "Not so tough and almighty now are you?"

"Indigo Dragon," Hawkmoth said in a tone that said you will not mess with me. Huffing, the villainous removed her boot but got one last kick to the side. She then stood at attention.

"I warned you this would have been a lot easier if you had just done what I asked," Hawkmoth reminded her.

Peridot Turtle lifted her chin then tilted it slightly as to gesture around them. Part of the sky had a purple dome over it. The further away you went from the townhouse you saw the differences with building stacked upon themselves.

There were empty streets with warning posters about Akumas and some with pictures of Asian Beetle asking for any information relating to her capture. Businesses with their windows bordered up against a plague.

Some parks looked brand new next to ones that were falling apart. Her school had scars from the damage done. You could hear the sound of the void waiting to return.

"Look around you Hawkmoth! Your wish is tearing apart the universes. There is no one alive who can fully edit the vast universe to fit one person's ideal world."

"We'll see about that," he chuckled as he formed an akuma. He walked forward as Peridot Turtle had struggled against Indigo Dragon's firm hold. He placed the akuma on her Miraculous and she froze.

"Peridot Turtle, I require your services. Allow me to enhance your abilities. Once enhanced, you will continue to edit the merged universes until the proto-soul world is stabilized."

"Of course Master Hawkmoth," she whispered. Nothing about her changed except her pupils had grown smaller. She stood up and followed the man over towards the portal and the model.

The model was currently showing how much of the proto-soul universe was currently stable in this merged world. The portal was still showing Adrien's soul room as well.

Peridot Turtle placed her hand on the consul and the portal switched to her soul room. Peering inside you could see all the windows had come together as one creating a mess of colors.

Hawkmoth helped her up the stairs and into the portal. He followed her and placed the yin yang stone in her hands. "You know what to do."

"Of course Master. I'm ready to begin." Once again her seven-pointed star, (heptagram), appeared on her body. The points started to blink and outside in the circular prison so did her other souls

Chat Noir felt his body heat up as he did the same with the other hero souls next to him. Soon they were all blinking in sequence, ready to use their abilities on Peridot Turtle's command.

Peridot Turtle held the stone out in front of her. She could feel the power inside and hear the faint voices of the two Kwamiis who had been forcefully bonded together.

Hawkmoth was ecstatic when the stone started shooting white sparkles in the air. This was it! Finally, all his dreams were coming true.

That's when Peridot Turtle smirked and shouted, "Start Phase Two!" and dropped to the ground.

Hawkmoth was caught off guard and was shocked when a lasso was thrown over his body and he was yanked out of the portal. He was pulled down towards the consul and his hand was pressed into the scanner weightily.

A huge white flash went off and when everyone could see again, they were all in Neo Paris and the merged universe was no longer surrounding them. Instead, they were fully in the proto-soul world!

Suddenly the six teenage villains found themselves staring at three old men dressed in different colored Hawaiian Shirts standing in front of the heroes. One wore orange, the second yellow, and the last one, (Gui-Chel's), wore green.

The green one had a magical staff in his hand. Speaking rapidly in unfamiliar Chinese parlance and the staff blasted the cage away while creating a large amount of smoke.

Y-Fu used the smokescreen to pass out seven tiny phials to each pair of teammates and one for Gui-Chel. "Hurry, pour half the contents on your Miraculouses before giving it to your partner."

"How many times can we use our powers before the timer goes off now?" Abeille Jaune asked nippily. The potion would boost the Miraculouses magic so they could use their powers more than once.

"You can use your powers four times before the five-minute timer goes off," Y-Fu replied hurriedly. While G-Fu was doing his best to keep the smokescreen going, but it wasn't going to last long.

O-Fu quickly handed each team two mini macaroons for one power-up, if they needed to use it. He hoped they wouldn't have to use them. Given the likelihood of what was going to happen next, there was a high chance they would.

As the smoke cleared, the prisoners got a better look at what was going on outside their prison. Hawkmoth was struggling against Black-Fu, the one who had lassoed him. The old man was shouting something at the villain, but the wind carried the sound away.

Rusty Bee saw Peridot Turtle rushing over to R-Fu, was hiding behind the portal. That's when she realized someone was behind her cutting the bonds. "Hold still. I don't want to accidentally cut you," P-Fu whispered, his eyes stay focused on where he placed his knife.

"Can you tell me the extent of your injuries," Blue-Fu asked as he freed Gabriel. The man had several injuries and they needed to check out the head wounds.

"I don't care about me, help my son!"

"I don't understand, what's going on? Why are there so many of you and how come Peridot Turtle isn't under Hawkmoth's control?"

"It's a long story my dear peafowl, but it will have to wait until later. Right now, trust that we're on your side," P-Fu said calmly before returning to his work.

Peridot Turtle knew she could only stay hidden behind the portal for so long before she had to return to the skirmish. She tapped her foot anxiously as she recalled their planning session.

At the spa/massage, PT explained her plan. "I came across an advance spell in the Miraculous Book. The spell makes a person immune to the Butterfly's powers, but only for one day. I'm not advanced enough to use it. I was hoping one of you could perform the spell on me."

"Why do you need to be immune? I thought our goal was to retrieve Hawkmoth's Miraculous before restoring the universe to normal," Chat Noir asked curiously.

"That's the overall goal. To get into a position do that, I need to be close to him He wants me to complete his wish, but if I just walk up to him without any resistance then he knows I'm planning to betray him."

"You need a trap within a trap," Huli Jing spoke up. It made sense to her. Peridot Turtle had already said no before to his offer and if the slave collar was still around PT Adrien's neck, then the only way to control her would be to use an akuma.

Bumblebee was scratching his chin deep in thought when he pointed out there was a problem with the plan. "The second they realize you're not under his control his minions are going to attack you."

Abeille Jaune interjected saying that the teen villains would not if they were occupied with something else. Namely keeping them under guard.

Y-Fu had nodded in agreement. "To defeat an enemy you are unfamiliar with not only must you understand their strength, but their weaknesses as well."

Malin flashed a toothy smile and compared the group to a skulk of foxes. They needed to play around with their food before they ate it. A few of the people gathered rolled their eyes or looked a little sick at the comparison.

"What about the rest of Peridot Turtle's team? I'm sure they suffered some injuries and would need assistance being rescued."

"Belle Bleue has a point. We should also take advantage of this to check on the people in the pods. This merger and editing process could have damaged the pods and hurt the people inside," her partner remarked.

Mariposa stated that it would be best if the Masters took care of that with her partner adding that the entire group would need to have an edge if they were going to take the villain's by surprise once Peridot Turtle had the stone in her hand.

Gui-Chel stated he wanted to review the information about the wish to see if there was a way to use it for their advantage and what it would cost to undo it.

"With that information do you think you could save all the different versions of the universe?" Conchillian asked.

"Not to mention, free the teenagers from being possessed?" Chat Noire added gleefully.

Peridot Turtle gave a slight nod. She admitted she didn't know how to separate the joined Miraculouses. Ladybug asked R-Fu knew and he said that he had been instructed on how to release two Miraculouses apart when no one was using them.

With a plan in place, the group had prepared for the fight before heading out with everyone knowing what they needed to do and what signals to look out for each phase of the plan.

In the present, Peridot Turtle peeked out from behind the portal again. The battle had resumed and Hawkmoth was breaking free from the lasso around his body. "I need to get back out there. Have you finished the transfer?"

While R-Fu's job was to separate the two Miraculous, he needed to transfer some of the power into Peridot Turtle so she could finish the editing process.

Her gloved hands glowed white and she felt a prickling sensation in her fingers. R-Fu smiled and she knew the transfer was complete. She whispered good luck to him and darted out to take on Hawkmoth.

Whipping her meteor hammer forward she knocked Hawkmoth away from Black-Fu. The old man took the opportunity to skedaddle behind the portal to assist his counterpart.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Hawkmoth thundered. They were back in the proto-soul world and he could see on the horizon on the edge of the city, the void was starting to reappear. "YOU HAVE DOOMED MY ENTIRE WORLD!"

"I couldn't let you paste cut, copy, and past the universes together claiming billions of lives and several galaxies because of your wish. There is still a way to save your world and restore things to normal."

"You're lying! If there was a way to do so I would have found it. All my efforts to save my world and for what? To watch it die in front of me?! If we are all going to die, I intend to get some justice for myself by making you watch as your world dies!"

He opened the top of his pommel and a large flitter of akumas flew out of the weapon and into the air. They were larger than normal akumas and they gave off an aura of death. "Attack."

The battles had resumed once again and this time they were a lot bloodier. Indigo Dragon and Ocelot Blanc were growling since the color-coded Fu's prevent them from getting to Hawkmoth.

G-Fu was fighting alongside his apprentice against Indigo dragon with only his old magic staff to help him. Blue-Fu and P-Fu were still working on saving the prisoners while Y-Fu and O-Fu kept the battles unconnected from one another by casting wards.

The renewed battles had been going on for ten minutes now. Indigo Dragon let out a roar! "DIE ALREADY!" she shrieked as she went after G-Fu with the intent to gorge his eyes out.

"Shell Guard!" Gui-Chel shouted as he jumped in front of his master to protect him. "I won't let her hurt you, Master Fu."

"Thank you, boy. We must defeat her before she causes PT harm."

Indigo Dragon laughed darkly. "My originator's going to face a lot more than harm from me. I'm going to pluck her soul right out of her and eat it for what she's done to me!"

She pressed the dagger harder against the magical force field. She poured all her anger and frustration as she managed to break through the field and nearly stabbed Gui-Chel in the chest.

G-Fu reacted on instinct as he raised his staff and made a sweeping motion. The supervillainess felt an invisible force grab her and then sweep her across their portion of the battlefield.

The gravity around her got heavier as it put more pressure on her, just daring her to try to get up. Adrenaline surged through her veins as she stood up and let out a bellow. "I DID NOT TRAIN IN MY MIND FOR WEEKS TO BE DEFEATED!"

She broke through the gravity field and hurled her dagger straight at G-Fu's heart. The old Guardian was taking his last few breaths and he couldn't do anything!

She was so shocked by what happened next that she was frozen in place. Gui-Chel, who was still transformed, called out Shell Guard one more time. The dagger struck the force field and the bladed shattered into tiny pieces.

"That's not possible! How are you still transformed and using your power again? You shouldn't be able to do that at your age and skill level!"

"It helps when you worked together with so many Great Guardians helping you with full knowledge of what the Miraculouses are capable of," Gui-Chel remarked as he let the force field drop.

"Then I'll take you both out in one shot. Dragon Roar!" The high pitched roar filled the small battle zone and it echoed off the words twice as loud. Both males sank to the ground covering their ears as she advanced.

I'm going to take the Miraculous and that magic staff from them so I can use them to finally rid myself of Marinette Dupain-Cheng she thought to herself. She started walking faster knowing she could bust through the weak Shell Guard.

Without warning, she felt her transformation come undone. Drakko fell out of her collar and into her hands. Bridgette instantly felt exhausted and fainted from lack of energy, her hands still protectively holding her kwami.

Ocelot Blanc witnessed this and couldn't believe what he saw. He pounded at the ward over and over again, but it did not break. He was starting to lose his temper.

Ladybug, who was holding two lucky charms, a large fishing net, and a crochet hook. Chat Noir was ready to use his Cataclysm. He already used one earlier to disintegrated Chat Blanc's jian.

Whipping around the proto-soul villain lost all control of himself. "Instinctual Balance!" The two pieces of the yin yang symbol zipped through the air and it was on course to decapitate the two heroes.

"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir shouted as he obliterated one piece and then leaped at the second one, managing to destroy it before it hit Ladybug's head.

Springing forward, she tossed the fishing net over Ocelot Blanc, who got tangled up. Before he could start slicing through it, Chat Noir tackled the boy to the ground and did his best to keep him pinned.

Ladybug scurried over and used the crochet hook to pull the Disastrous off his neck, leaving an exhausted Felix Agreste curled under the net with Occo laying on his cheek.

With Tanuki, the girl was starting to waver. Chat Noire was using Feline Bluff and the terror she felt had her running towards the ward wall.

No, I can't let fear get to me! I'm not going to give in to some goody-goody. Time to cheat she thought to herself.

Tanuki turned around and smirked. Snatching five bombs off her belt she released them in a widespread wave. Instead of exploding, they released a thick gas making it impossible for her foes to see her, but she could see them.

Delighted, she marched through the fog towards Chat Noire. The heroine was coughing badly. The poor girl didn't realize that she was about to get a bomb in the face.

She reached out and grabbed the heroine around the neck and pulled her forward. To her surprise, it was a life-size cut out of Chat Noire! "What?"

"Warning Spots!"

Tanuki found herself trapped inside a cage of spots. This barely registered when Chat Noire darted in to use her Cataclysm to destroy her weapon belt.

The girl laughed in Tanuki's face before she swiped the pinky ring right off the villainess's hand. Kagami's body reappeared and she had a stunned look on her face, matched by her kwami who was laid out on her left shoulder.

"Tanuki's might be revered in Japan, but cats have all the luck there," the catgirl joked.

Her partner laughed at the joke before turning his attention back to his opponent. Reaching into his pocket, he retrieved a small pouch. Taking a pinch of powder out, he blew it into the soul snatcher's face.

In seconds the girl was sleeping soundly on the ground as the cage vanished. She wouldn't be harming anyone now.

Ant Lioness was starting to wish she had made her wings stronger. Mariposa and Teal Peacock had used their power up macaroons to gain access to their aerial forms.

Their costumes were now streamlined and slightly darker in color. On their backs, wings had formed. Mariposa's wings matched those of a purple emperor while Teal Peacock's matched his real-life animal counterpart.

(Fun fact: Peacocks can fly, but not very far!)

Mariposa was a natural flyer having used her flitter many times before to help her get around Paris. She dive-bombed Ant Lioness causing the girl to make a clumsy barrel roll.

"Give up your earrings and this will come to an end," Mariposa called out encouragingly as she flew faster after Ant Lioness. "You can't stay airborne forever."

"Watch me! I'm never giving up my Disastrous!" Ant Lioness started to fly up again, but this time Teal Peacock was above her. She tried to change course, but the hero called out, "Raging Call!"

One of her wings broke off completely and she started to drop towards the ground. Panicking, she flailed in the air and didn't register she was wrapped up in a Chrysalis save her head.

Teal Peacock caught her before she hit the ground and he flew over to his partner. She gently removed the earrings leaving a saddened Portia trapped as her originator was.

Lockjaw was trying to figure out what to do next. He currently was struggling to free himself from Ombre's grip. For a dude using the Butterfly Miraculous, he was certainly stronger than he looked.

Lockjaw continued to struggle, but Ombre wouldn't let go. "You're not going anywhere. BB can you please remove his Disastrous?"

Belle Bleue nodded as she held out her fan and pressed it up to Lockjaw's neck. "I don't want to hurt you, but I need you to hold still." With her free hand, she plucked the sweatband off his head.

Ombre finally released Colt, who just sat there quietly as he rocked Sheller back and forth. There was nothing else he could do.

Trickster was on the ground panting. She was fresh out of senbons and her feet ached from running around the small enclosed area trying to circumvent Spirit Guide foxes and a Swarm of angry bees.

The situation was made worse when Bumblebee managed to swathe the foot that didn't have her Disastrous on it. "This isn't how the story is supposed to end," Trickster moaned to herself.

"I'm afraid this is one time the fox bests the coyote," Huli Jing stated calmly. She bent down and pulled off the expose shoe. During the fight, she had used False Trail to confuse Trickster so she could get a good look at her foe's costume to identify what magical jewelry she was wearing.

She gently tugged the anklet off as Zulima started crying. Lobbo tried to comfort her saying she did a good job as any.

Milana had conceded to defeat when Malin and Abeille Jaune had tricked her into using her arrows on herself thus pinning her to the ground. She had handed over her armlet without a fuss. Hinnda patted the girl on her head. "You did the right thing by surrendering."

"I know I did, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it."

Back with Hawkmoth and Peridot Turtle, the battle was in a deadlock. Both had cuts on their faces that were bleeding and it was apparent that was beginning to favor his left arm instead of his right. Meanwhile, Peridot Turtle was slowing down and she had nearly been injured several times now.

"There is still time to save the proto-soul world, but you have to surrender the Butterfly Miraculous."

"I will not be fooled again! Not by my twin, not be a teenage she-demon, and certainly not you!" He unsheathed the hidden sword in his cane and swung it hard.

"Shell Guard!" Peridot Turtle summoned her power. It wasn't as strong as normal due to her being so exhausted. She wasn't going to be able to keep this up for long. "Please stop! Don't become your twin brother by trying to take a life!"

Hearing those words, Hawkmoth paused for a few seconds. He had never wanted to be like his twin Gabriel. Was he turning into his cold-hearted and selfish brother?

While he was contemplating this, PT's team had finally been freed. While their Adrien was still dazed the rest of the team wasn't. Foxboy played his flute. "Spirit Guides!"

Two spirit guide foxes emerged from the end of the flute. Leaping into action they dashed across the roof and launched themselves at Hawkmoth. They latched their teeth on his arms and started to drag him down.

The man struggled to try to throw them off. When he started to get unbalanced, Hera used Regal Shimmer, having been told by P-Fu how to do it.

As Hawkmoth fell over, Rusty Bee released her Swarm and ordered them to take the Miraculous from him. Her faithful insects did as she commanded.

Tristan Agreste was on his back looking up as the bees dropped the Miraculous into Peridot Turtle's outstretched palm. Her fingers curled around the Miraculous protectively. Finally, her primary duty was fulfilled.

She bent down and held out a hand to Tristan. It was a tense standoff for a full minute before he took her hand so she could haul him up. "It seems you have won. I suppose you'll be undoing my wish now?"

The green clad girl gave a tiny shake of her head. "Not completely. I wasn't lying when I said I found another way. Ever since I figured out you were a proto-soul and knew what your plan was, I've been searching for an alternative way to help you."

The man stopped breathing for a second. "You weren't lying? You found a way to save the proto-soul world?"

She nodded her head. "You were right when you said I was the only one who could control this wish. It takes a One to perform this spell, which is why it's only been used once before."

She looked past him as the others came over with their prisoners. They were all quiet and subdued after their fights. None of them were saying anything.

Peridot Turtle brushed past Tristan and kneeled in front of Bridgette. "I need your help if I'm going to save your world. Can you set aside our differences long enough to help?"

Hesitating, Bridgette looked at Felix silently asking him what to do. He gave her a faint smile. Having his permission she stood up alongside her originator.

Felix was then also told to stand up a join them along with Chat Noir. Even with Milana undoing her command on Adrien, he didn't have a Miraculous to assist in this process.

"Everyone, hold hands and form an infinity symbol. Think about all of us fusing again to become an angel and warrior once more. Let your magic spread throughout all of us."

Everyone took a step back as the sixteen souls linked hands. They concentrated very hard picturing in their minds what they had previously looked like.

As the magical energy started flowing each Master Fu felt the buildup of power merging with the power of the wish inside Peridot Turtle. Soon the teenagers were all lifted in the air and their colors swirled around them.

There was a flash and soon Angel Marinette and Warrior Adrien were hovering in the air. They pressed their hands together with their eyes closed. The magic of the wish twinkled between their hands.

This time the two melted into each other. The left side was female and black except for the white face. It was the reverse on the right side. Both eyes opened and the being before they took a look around.

It was almost as if the being was seeing the different layers of the universe. Clapping its hands together the being spread them wide apart unleashing pure quintessence throughout all the universes.

The powers of creation and destruction joined with the power of illusions, community, to heal, inspire, and protect every single part of the multiverse. The merged worlds were pulled apart and restored to perfect health.

The proto-soul world received a bulk of the quintessence power as it stabilized the proto-universe. Gone were the magical black holes sucking up all the energy of life. Earth became whole again as the people received their soul rooms. The connection to their originators was snipped and they were finally their person.

The yin-yang stone in R-Fu's hands heated up and then split into the two Miraculouses. It also freed the souls trapped in their bodies as their proto-souls returned to their own.

Finally, the magic finished and the being returned to being sixteen teenagers. They were all very weak and had almost no energy, but they were alive and smiling. The universes had been saved!

Over the next several hours' everybody involved was healed and the proto-souls woke up and left their pods finally free. Apologize and good-byes were given and Tristan Agreste prepared to turn himself over to the police after he had finished dismantling his portal.

Peridot Turtle returned the powers of a Two to her Adrien as everyone went back to their worlds. It had been a long and difficult journey and yet the youngest Great Guardian had succeeded in her goal.

She knew there would be many more adventures ahead and heroes would still be needed. For now, she would enjoy the company of her friends and family happy to exist in a world of many souls.
