Mine, His

Elijah slid down the wall, head in his hands, his eyes burning behind his sleep-deprived lids. It hurt to talk to Tikki as if she was an enemy.

He blinked back the tears and harshly s.u.c.k.e.d in a shuddering breath, forcing himself to hold it. A shiver of disgust ran down his arms, and he leaned his head back against the wall. It wasn't always this way. They were friends once…

At their last meeting, Plagg greeted him so normally…He could feel the nostalgia in his veins. It was a blast to the past, that big smile, that mock-salute. A small smile formed on his face and a traitorous tear rolled down his cheek.

He scrunched his eyes up, pursed his lips and thickly swallowed down the ugly feeling of shame creeping up from below his diaphragm.

A small ringing sound made him fish his phone from his pocket.

The caller ID read Gabriel Agreste.

Elijah sighed, guilt swirling in his c.h.e.s.t as he watched the phone ring many, many times till it eventually stopped. He pocketed it and twisted his lips.

Would this plan actually succeed?

He pulled the brooch out of his pocket and ran a thumb over it.

Perhaps it would.

Perhaps it wouldn't .

…But it was his best shot, and Paris be damned if he didn't try.

*************************************

Tikki looked at Fu, Fu looked at Tikki.

"How did he get the book?" She asked in shock.

"I have no idea, the last time I saw the book was when I was training with the other guardians as a boy!" He said, exasperated.

Tikki sighed before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.

"Marinette, I'm going to let you out of the miraculous because Elijah isn't here and we need your help, but I won't let you out if you're uncomfortable being out here while you're mortal…"Tikki said.

Marinette twinkled from within the earrings.

' Tikki, I'm a mortal on a normal day, it makes no difference to me, as long as we get out of here, stop that guy and get back to Chat…I mean Adrien.'

Tikki smiled. She liked Marinette a whole lot already.

"Be wary Tikki. The camera's." Fu said before she could do anything. Her blue eyes slid over the corners of the room.

"Just one… I think if we stand in a different angle, we can pop Marinette out without him seeing her."

Fu shifted slightly as to obscure the camera's line on view.

"He's still too trusting…One camera, seriously?" Fu remarked. Tikki nodded in agreement before turning her attention to Marinette.

"Alright, I have no clue what you'll be when you come out, but I'll guide you through the escape, okay?"

' Gotcha! Wait, what I'll be?"

Tikki smiled and closed her eyes.

A small pop sounded and then a tiny thump was heard. Tikki and Fu looked down at the small creature that they crouched to hide.

"Awwww!"Tikki cooed.

'Hey, why are you guys so tall?' Marinette's sparkly eyes looked around.

"Well, you're a pretty small right now." Fu said.

Marinette's nose twitched and she looked up at Fu and Tikki.

"Okay I've got a plan." Fu said suddenly, as if a light bulb had lit up in his head. Tikki looked at Fu, about to speak.

"But for now, everyone needs to get some rest, I know you want us to escape now, Tikki, but truthfully we're all drained." He said albeit sheepishly.

Tikki looked back at Marinette, "It's best if you sleep in the Miraculous." She said to her.

Marinette tilted her head. 'Okay.' Tikki clicked her fingers and Marinette found herself back in the Miraculous.

Fu took a deep breath and settled down on the ground, his aged bones aching. Tikki shot him a concerned look but he only smiled back, reassuring her that he was indeed alright. Tikki slowly lay down on the ground too. Fu's plan had to be really exhausting if he wanted them to rest before actually attempting it.

****************************

She opened the door to see a far from immaculate Chloe Bourgeois standing outside.

"Whoa, what happened to you?" Lila snickered leaning against the doorframe, her olive irises swiveled, taking in the woman's disheveled appearance.

Chloe pushed passed Lila and slipped into the lavish home.

"You do not want to know." Chloe snarled.

Lila smirked. "Your pets are being too hard to handle?" She perched on a leather couch, speaking in a mocking manner. Chloe hissed.

"Just shut up, will you?"

Lila laughed again. "Damn shame, been hearing some odd things about Paris lately." She said coyly, looking at the blonde out of the corner of her eye. Chloe looked at her from the recliner she had unceremoniously thrown herself on.

"I may need your help." Chloe said.

"Killing? Culling? Blackmailing? And what would I get out of it?"

"Investigating, and then…killing, hopefully, if all goes well. If we succeed, I'll ensure a hefty sum of the taxes is deposited into your account." Chloe said.

Lila hummed.

"I have been meaning to visit Paris… Where's your boy-toy? Still missing?"

Chloe rubbed her temple.

"Possibly dead after the stunt I pulled, but I don't think so. I hope not. Chat Noir would have done one of his damn broadcasts and killed Adrien on live TV if he was going to kill him."

Lila canted her head.

"Oddly calm about Adrien being kidnapped…"She commented, more to herself. Chloe glared at her. "I'll get him back. He won't leave me." Chloe said.

"Won't, or can't?" Lila snickered.

"Just shut up already." Chloe snapped.

"He's mine. He won't leave me." Chloe said out loud, as if convincing herself.

Lila rolled her eyes at Chloe's blind faith.

"Riiiight, soo when he becomes another pronoun other than ' Mine ' as you so eloquently put it, can I have a go at him?" Lila asked, a bit eagerly.

Chloe considered her for a moment.

"…When I get him back, I don't see the issue with you having a go at him while he still belongs to me." Chloe said.

Lila chuckled. "Demented and sick as ever I see. Well, if you're fine with it, why not?"

Chloe yawned. Now she would have the help of this whore, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, she needed the help. The spotted freak had appeared out of nowhere. That makeup artist had escaped too and Marinette was gone as well. She had realised with a pang that Marinette would now be overly cautious, it would be hard to kidnap her.

Chat Noir would probably never let her out of his sight again.

She'd seen his reaction. He loved the powder-covered baker. The agony in his eyes, that look of despair. It was delicious, almost as raw as Adrien's emotions…

She had only a few minutes to savor it before that freakshow had ruined EVERYTHING.

Stupid Bimbo, just who did she think she was? Did she even know who she was messing with?

Chloe exhaled. Maybe that woman resided in England.

France most certainly had no protectors like her, Paris was as vulnerable as a lamb. She needed to get back there…If she did though, Chat Noir would find her, and she had a feeling that he wouldn't hesitate to gut her like a fish. Especially after what he had thought he had seen.

Either she stayed here and plotted while Lila went back, or she went with Lila and risked the possibility of being mutilated and murdered. As much as she loved dishing out pain, she wasn't a fan of being on the receiving end of it, so the former choice would probably be the best. Lila would help so long as she was paid.

Chloe needed to pull herself together. She had gotten so sloppy in the last few months.

No more. From now on, she would become Chat Noir's Archenemy. All this time, she'd been an amateur. She knew now what the man was truly capable of, and she would not let history repeat itself. She would destroy him. She would get Adrien back. She would make Marinette suffer the most painful death imaginable.

Oh, she had been too kind to them. It was time for them to really feel her wrath.

*********************

Elijah panted heavily. He could do this.

He concentrated hard again. Using Wayzz was taking a toll on his body. Wayzz was not like Nooroo.

No, not at all. He resisted usage by Elijah, very strongly at that.

Elijah gritted his teeth, forcing away the thought of stopping in light of the sickly, prickly, icy feeling of pins and needles in his head.

He honestly would not have opted to use Fu's kwami… But it was the third strongest Kwami he had.

He crumpled to his knees, breathing heavily.

If he could just make a small opening…

His transformation fell and Wayzz zoomed out. "Did it not occur to you that you can't open the Miraculous World because you aren't the Guardian. Give this up Elijah."Wayzz said with narrowed eyes.

Elijah shakily got to his feet.

"I can. And I will." He ground out and pulled out another strawberry from the bowl on the lab bench.

He placed it on a mini saucer and handed it to Wayzz. "Eat up."

Wayzz crossed his arms. "I'd much rather die." He spat. Elijah rubbed his forehead. Wayzz would eventually cave and eat out of hunger in a few hours, so all he could do now was wait.

Wayzz sighed, he couldn't leave due to the room being enclosed in another room that was gassed with Hydrogen Sulphide.

Now he was no Chemist, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to cross the room without inhaling some of it, and with the size of his form, that would be bad.

Elijah stared for a moment, Wayzz was bound to give in. In the meantime, Elijah needed some rest, so he ambled off to the makeshift Laboratory bedroom that he used in instances like this. With a tired groan, he fell onto the bed and fell asleep.

**************

Unknown POV

****************

The miraculous world is a pretty big place. In fact, it's much like how humans live on Earth. The only difference is that magic is evident in every aspect, the glittering trees, the singing breeze, the smile of peace on everyone's face. It's a beautiful place, a wonderful world. The Kwami are always happy, everyone is one big family. Sometimes there's fighting, sometimes you just want to smack someone with a Giggling Daisy, but most of the time, you're content. Everything is relaxed.

There are different parts of the world though. There are forests. There are valleys, mountain ranges, and meadows. There are desserts, savannahs, there's an oasis here and there.

There are jungles, and dark, dark, thorny places. Caves, underground tunnels and there are beaches too. There are many scary places that you could find yourself in that world.

I would know scary places, I've been trapped in a scary place for a long time. It's thorny around me, and I can't get out... The thorns regenerate around me, and I can't overcome it.

I want to escape.

I want to get out. I can't live like this. This isn't good.

I try to call out… But nobody hears me. My loud cries remain unheard. Maybe they think I'm already dead…

I'm not, but being stuck in here is pretty much as close to dead as I can get.

I'm not trying to escape because of me. It's not for my own benefit…There are people who need me. They need my help.

I have to get out of here…

I just have to.

****************

Fu opened his eyes slowly. It had been three hours since Elijah had left the room. Wearily, he looked around, scanning the room.

He had been noticing a pattern in Elijah's behavior over the last few days. If Elijah left the room, he wouldn't return for about 6.5 hours. When he did return with food and water, he was exhausted. He would sit at his table, and read his personal notes all day. When he was done, he would leave again.

Fu glanced over at Tikki as she slept on the ground. She looked beyond exhausted but sharing Plagg's energy certainly helped. He sighed, feeling guilty once again about extorting Plagg's energy.

He reached over and nudged Tikki's shoulder.

She stirred and looked at Fu. "Master Fu? Did you sleep well?"She asked in concern, noticing the unrelenting dark rings around his eyes. He waved away her concern and smiled.

"Is Marinette awake?" He asked.

Tikki paused for a moment.

'Hey Marinette, it's time to wake up, sleepyhead.'

'Nnnghhh, tomorrow.'

'Come on, we have to listen to Fu.'

She heard Marinette groan before looking at Fu with a nod.

Fu took a breath.

"Many, many years ago, I had the privilege and honor of reading the book in Elijah's position. The information in it is invaluable. With that in mind, I spent a lot of time memorizing, and absorbing all the data within its pages. That is how I knew how to create the healing stones. However, although I've seen it with my own eyes…I've never actually read about Waiting Forms in the book itself."

Tikki blinked.

"Maybe it's because it's not something that's recommended? I mean, our chosen one's can die in that form… Yeah, they'll be reborn but we may never know what they're reborn as."She reasoned.

Fu shook his head.

"That was what I thought too, but then I realized the book failed to mention a number of things. It failed to mention where the Kwami would actually go in the event of something like Duusu's failed reversal happening-"

"But that could be because this whole scenario has simply never happened before…"Tikki said.

"Yes, but the book was filled with possible occurrences that never actually took place. Don't you find it strange that it skips over the details of what will happen to the other Kwami's if they ever attempted reversal? Or why Kwami like you and Plagg don't just pick a chosen and carry out your superhero responsibilities while in reversal, leaving your chosen in the miraculous instead of them using you guys to transform. For such a dangerous art, it spoke so little about it…"

"…It is a bit odd."Tikki mused, her neat brows furrowing.

"And what about the deeper explanations of some of the mentioned Kwami powers? If anything, there should have been a chapter for every kind of power, explaining when it would be best to use the power and whatnot. For a book that details everything so intricately, I find it strange that some of the more important facts are just barely touched on the surface."

Tikki frowned.

"…You think parts of the book aren't there."She stated, looking at him.

Fu grinned. "Or perhaps, there's another book altogether. It's been years, and we haven't been able to save Duusu. If such a book does exist… It may be what we need to save our feathered friend."

"So what now?" Tikki asked.

"Now, we find the box, rescue Wayzz, get the brooch too, get out of here, then open up a portal to the Miraculous world." Fu said confidently.

"Which means we need Marinette to disarm the forcefield,"Tikki said.

"Precisely. But with the camera…We won't be able to stop him from seeing Marinette running out and then us escaping too. If he does see us escaping, he may take Wayzz and the others and make a run for it."

Tikki paused for a moment before looking back at Fu.

"Unless you..."She started.

"Make contact with Wayzz while I'm not wearing the Miraculous and ask him to drain Elijah…" Fu finished for her.

"Yes… That's taboo though, on two counts, the first being that Kwami's should not inhibit the life force or energy of the chosen unless they're physically hurting someone and secondly, you're forcing your way into his head while you don't have his miraculous on you… The last time you forced yourself into a Kwami's head you aged by twenty years, you're human master, your chi is strong…but not on par with the Kwami." Tikki said.

Fu sighed.

"I agree, on the first I must digress however, it's taboo if the Guardian does not give their consent for the Kwami to influence the wielder, as for the second…yes, it's taboo for a human to force into a Kwami's head without any of the Miraculous treasures on hand… considering I can't use the Ladybug Miraculous from you, for something as simple as asking Wayzz to temporarily knock Eli out… and I agree that I'm not keen on losing another twenty years of my life… and I'm most certainly not keen on answering to the Council, but I'm not keen on letting anyone else die either." He said.

"Master that wasn't your faul-"

"It was Tikki. It was my fault." Fu objected. Tikki's mouth snapped shut.

"What if… I share my life force…"Tikki said slowly.

"You'd be sharing it between yourself, Duusuu and myself Tikki. You'd have to borrow from Plagg, and in such huge proportions, he's bound to realise that something strange is going on…Besides, though Plagg is fast at regeneration…He's just not that fast." Fu replied.

"Have more faith in him. He may figure it out but desperate times call for desperate measures. Remember we haven't dropped the Reversal, he's stronger now." Tikki said but there was pain in her voice.

Fu twisted his lips. "I don't want Plagg to realise what's happening, I don't want to harm any of you."

"Listen master… You don't always have to protect us. Sometimes you need protection too. We're in this as a unit." She said putting a hand on his shoulder.

Fu looked down.

"What happens if you do lose all your energy and Plagg can't share his fast enough? You will lose all your memory…"Fu reasoned.

"I'd rather lose my memory than let anyone else die."

"Plagg won't forgive either of us if you don't remember him."

"Then it's up to you to use the opening as quickly as you can. Plagg has our backs."She spoke, convincing herself.

*********************

Plagg's fur stood on end and he blinked. They were about to do something entirely reckless and stupid. Brilliant, he had rubbed off on them.

Nino poked him. "Dude you're gone all fuzzy." He said gesturing to Plagg's standing fur. Plagg looked at him slowly.

"You know being a Bachelor boy isn't so bad. Seriously." He said.

Nino raised a brow. "What's wrong with being with a woman if you love her?"

Plagg pouted.

"What's theirs is theirs, and what's yours is also theirs, and their friends and their friend's friends. I mean that in the most physical of sense."

Nino's mouth dropped open.

" Harem ?"

Plagg sniffled. " What can a guy do if he's just so powerful and amazing?"

**********************************

Tikki and Fu were sitting side by side against the wall.

"Just stay as still a possible so that he doesn't get suspicious," Fu said.

"Ready when you are, Master."

Fu smiled back at her before closing his eyes.

Marinette listened quietly to everything, choosing not to comment on something that she had next to no knowledge of.

The question of why the Kwami's didn't just stay in reversal nagged at her though… If they were so powerful when they were in reversal, and not to mention immortal, then why?

It made no sense. They could live their lives, save people and be indestructible superheroes. So why? Was it solely because they didn't want to ever lose their precious memories if they died temporarily in reversal?

It was vastly confusing and Marinette found herself frowning more and more at the question.

Why?

They were powerful. Just why?

Morals?

She couldn't comprehend any of it.

And why couldn't Tikki temporarily detransform so that Fu could use the miraculous? Marinette could just hide her face… Was it just because it was too risky?

Why couldn't Tikki just drop her reversal so that Elijah saw her change, and when he came running, they could just transform again and beat him, or even just escape as he made his way towards the study? Although the latter was a bit of a shot in the dark, Elijah could have been in the next room for all she knew… This was just too confusing for her.

From where Elijah lay quietly in the lab, he tilted his head towards the monitor. Fu and Tikki looked to be whispering quietly as they sat against the wall… He'd go back soon, but he had to try opening the Gate to the Miraculous World just one more time…

Wayzz eyed the strawberry. He was famished beyond anything he had ever experienced, but he knew as soon as he sated his hunger with that scarlet saccharine fruit, Elijah would once again forcefully try to open a portal with him.

Elijah didn't understand that only Guardians who wielded a Miraculous jewel could open a portal to the Miraculous world, and not even particularly long at that.

Must-resist-must-resist-must-resist-don't-give-in-must resist!

He repeatedly chanted that Mantra in his head.

Fu, from where he sat beside Tikki, closed his eyes.

"Three…two….one…"

*******************

Nino had retired, and that left a half asleep kitten and Plagg alone.

'Why didn't you ever tell me?'

"'Cuz, what if I was wrong?" Plagg said with a yawn.

Adrien was about to reply when they both felt a small tremor.

Adrien and Plagg looked at each other.

"Did you feel that?"

'I felt that inside my head for some reason.'

Plagg blinked. "Yeah…Yeah kid, now that I think about it, me too."

Suddenly a pulse went through the pair, the invisible wave washed over them but targeted Plagg specifically.

Plagg hissed and held his head, breathing erratically.

'Plagg? Plagg! Plagg why are you turning white?!"

"Huh?" Plagg looked at his arms which were indeed becoming white.

"UGH! They've GOT to be kidding me!" He snarled before taking off into the kitchen and hurriedly getting the Camembert out of the cooler.

He immediately began to swallow wheel after wheel.

Adrien's ears flattened. What was happening?

*************************************

Tikki had her hand on Fu's shoulder as she fought to stay conscious. She hated doing this to Plagg.

He was a giving kwami, and they were taking advantage of that. She was being reckless, what if Plagg had no access to food? What if she borrowed all the energy he had left and he wasn't able to replenish it?

No… No she couldn't think like that. He was somewhere safe, she could feel it.

Fu's eyes were clenched as he ripped through the barriers of his mind, creating a direct telepathic pathway to Wayzz. It would have helped so much if the Kwami could telepathically communicate…

Fu made a pained noise-causing Tikki to look over at him. A small stream of blood was beginning to stem from his nostril.

A cold feeling in her limbs and a jerk in her c.h.e.s.t brought her attention back to Plagg.

The fact that she was still conscious meant that Plagg was really working as fast as he could. Absently she smiled, he always had her back, even when she didn't have his.

A prickling sensation behind her eyes caused her to grit her teeth. Fu's breathing was now erratic… and it was getting harder to stay awake.

*********************************

Plagg took deep breaths. What the hell were they doing? Tikki had never ever before needed this much energy.

Maybe he was wrong, maybe he shouldn't have let them go. What if she was being tortured? That would most certainly explain this rapid draining.

Nino who had gotten up in the commotion was handing Plagg camembert as the feline practically inhaled it. He wasn't even questioning Plagg, because Nino quickly caught on that Black cats of destruction were never meant to be white . Adrien didn't understand what was happening, but even he realized that he needed to be quiet. He had been feeling weird vibrations in his head. There were buzzing noises.

As Plagg ate, his fur became black, but then as quickly as it changed, it reverted back to white.

*************************************

Marinette suppressed a groan as the vibrations and buzzing sounds pounded her dizzy head. Being in the Miraculous helped, but Tikki was beginning to look worse for the wear.

Fu pushed as hard as he could through the barriers of his mind, and it hurt as if someone was slowly carving his brain, poking needles in here and there.

Wayzz didn't realize what was going, but suddenly, it felt like his eardrums were bursting as Fu entered his mind.

'Wayzz, we need you to drain Elijah of energy.'

'Master?Wha-…H-how are you doing this?'

'No time to explain, listen to me, you need to knock Elijah out, then we'll escape, and find the others.'

'How will I alert you when I've knocked him out?'

'I'll keep the connection till you do, so please hurry!'

'R-right,as long as I've been granted your permission.'

Wayzz ignored the tingles in his ears as he suddenly swallowed the strawberry. Elijah turned towards him, surprised, but slowly he grinned thinking that Wayzz had eaten the strawberry just like he knew he would.

He got up from the bed.

"Great, Wayzz, Transform me!"

Wayzz was pulled into the miraculous as Elijah began to transform. He stretched, beginning to place his hands together to try and mediate a way into the miraculous world, but then he felt his body go frighteningly cold.

' Wayzz what are you doing?'  He thought frantically as he instantaneously began to physically feel Wayzz s.u.c.k.i.n.g out his energy and even oxygen, and he was livid. He hadn't read about this in the book.

'I'm doing what I was asked.'

'What?!'

Elijah hissed, seeing many black spots in his vision as his breathing became strained.

Veins began to show through his skin and his eyes became increasingly bloodshot and watery. His throat began to constrict as he gasped for air that seemed to be eluding him.

Then all at once, he fell to the ground, limp and Wayzz zapped out of the Miraculous.

'It's done master. I took the maximum amount of oxygen and energy that I possibly could without endangering his life.'

'Yes! Well done, Wayzz, do you know where you are? Do you remember any characteristics or memorable fixtures, anything?'

'He walked down a stairs, we're in a room that's within a room gassed with sulphate so I can't escape. Master he has the peac.o.c.k broach, I'll retrieve it.'

'Good going Wayzz! We're coming. Don't leave.'

'Understood. Master remember the outer room is gassed with Hydrogen sulphur.'

'Got it.'

Fu let the opening between their minds close and Tikki let out a harsh pained breath before rapidly s.u.c.k.i.n.g in mouthfuls of air.

Fu did the same.

He was going to be in so much trouble.

Tikki began to cry as they both rapidly regained their energy through Plagg's sharing. Fu looked over at her in concern.

"He'll be okay…"He said.

"What if we drained too much? I didn't even lend any of my energy, it was all him, he had to share it all with me to distribute between you, Duusu and I." She sniffed. "What if he couldn't make enough for himself."

"Hey don't think like that! You told me yourself, Plagg is strong. He will be okay, I just know it."

*************************

Plagg was now sitting limply in a chair gritting his teeth and clutching his c.h.e.s.t. It was so hard to breathe, the air was too solid, he just couldn't take it in without a pang. He was lightheaded as he dizzily and dutifully shoved more cheese into his mouth.

Nino turned up the airconditioning and then ran to get more cheese.

Plagg had turned fully white, he no longer looked like Plagg, save for his face and body structure.

He brought his legs up onto the chair and began to pull at his hair.

Nino was quick to stop him, instead shoving a pillow into his hands. For the first time, Nino was genuinely concerned as he watched the feline man who refused to scream.

He crouched. "Plagg, talk to us, what's wrong?"

Adrien felt so utterly helpless as he looked up at Plagg who just gritted his teeth and clenched his eyes. He shook his head, in too much pain to talk.

Suddenly all his fur began to stand on end as his eyes flew open. His pupils had dilated and had covered his entire eye, making him look possessed, he was now dead still, staring blankly at nothing. It was almost as if he wasn't breathing.

"Plagg!" Adrien suddenly said, reaching out to Plagg's thoughts. He had been silent the entire time but something was drastically wrong.

In a space of a few minutes, Plagg looked just about ready to die.

Plagg didn't respond but Nino and Adrien noticed his body become even tauter as his claws stabbed holes into the leather armrests of the chair. The pillow was forgotten, and it was almost as if he was gripping on to the armrests to remind himself to stay grounded.

He blinked slowly and unseeingly reached out in the opposite direction of the cheese.

Adrien stared at Plagg's eyes before his own widened, bells of revelation going off in his head. He looked at Nino.

How the hell would he get his point across to Nino? He looked back at Plagg, could he still speak? If he had a hoarse voice it would make his hypothesis much more conclusive.

Adrien turned to Nino again. He had to do something, especially with the knowledge of what was happening physically to Plagg. So he snarled loudly and threateningly at Nino who turned to him in shock.

Adrien tried to jump off the chair to indicate that he wanted to be followed, he was aware that he would probably get hurt in the fall considering his kitten limbs.

Plagg's ears flicked around for a few seconds, and the second Adrien tried to jump off, a hand caught him blindly before he hit the ground.

"I'll tell him what you need to," Plagg said in a voice so hoarse that both Nino and Adrien winced.

'I need to know if you can see.'

"No, I can't see anything, it's all black."

'Plagg, do you feel lightheaded?'

"Dizzy."

Nino looked between the two.

'You're the size of a human now, your arteries won't be as small as the ones cats have, so my pressure cuff will work on you. Just stay calm. In cats blindness is partial or complete, for now we can't be certain.'

"I'm calm, Dr. Agreste is in the house. Besides, my healing can fix my eyes later." Plagg gritted out, but the comedic flare was not there. Plagg looked just about ready to pass out.

'Please tell Nino to get the cuff.'

"Nino, he says he needs the pressure cuff."

"Pr-pressure cuff, got it!" Nino stammered. He too, was frightened.

He scrambled to his feet and practically flew up the stairs to retrieve it.

Plagg closed his blank eyes and let out a low, hoarse noise.

Adrien was still caught in his claws. He wriggled and Plagg placed him on his l.a.p before continuing to sink his claws into the armrest.

Nino scrambled down the stairs with all Adrien's equipment and Adrien looked at Nino who wordlessly began to strap it on. Plagg made a strange mewling sound and felt around the coffee table next to the chair for the cheese.

"190mm."Nino said.

Adrien shifted through his mental notes. He was no veterinarian, but he did know a lot about cats, and a lot about humans, and for a cat, anything above 150 mm was much too high.

'I can't diagnose you with renal or thyroid complications as yet, for now we can deduce that the blood vessels in your eye bursting caused the detatchment of your retina. We need to lower your blood pressure. I don't think being in Reversal is doing anything for your healing at the moment.'

"Okay…"Plagg murmured.

'Tell Nino to bring all my medication.'

"Nino, he wants all his medication."

Nino again took off running.

'I'm pretty sure Nino bought the wrong medication once, he bought Hypertension tablets instead of Hypotension tablets. It's okay though, there aren't actually any veterinary medications for Hypertension in felines but some prescribe human medication, not recommended but its-'

'…Convenient.'

'At least it's going to good use… Plagg, normally Hypotension in cats is caused by underlying factors, but I really don't think you have renal failure or hypothyroidism or diabetes. Which leads me to believe that this could be brought on by stress and strain on you. It doesn't occur often but it's the only explanation as you have no other disorders or deficiencies.'

Plagg made a non-committal sound.

"Clever kid." He said.

Nino skidded towards them.

"Hypertension," Plagg said and Nino immediately looked through the little containers.

'Hydrochlorothiazide 15mg and Captopril 25mg.' Adrien said to Plagg who repeated his words to Nino.

Nino handed a now lowly whining Plagg a Captopril.

"I can't find the Hydro…Chlora…Uh…"Nino started looking stressed.

'HCTZ… Check for that. Though it should say the full name…'

"Check for HCTZ."Plagg ground out.

"Yes!It's a water pill?"

Adrien nodded his head as vigorously as he could and Nino handed Plagg the pill.

Plagg leaned his head back on the chair and Adrien and Nino stared at him intently as he made incorrigible pained sounds, becoming more vocal and distressed as he swallowed more cheese.

After a few minutes, his pressure began to drop, the Reversal readily metabolising the drug.

Suddenly he let out a relieved breath and his body began to turn obsidian once more.

"Safe." He said to himself, relieved about something that Adrien didn't understand. A harrowing silence followed.

Nino pursed his lips.

"You said Tikki borrows your energy sometimes. Is that what happened?" He suddenly asked.

Plagg didn't reply.

*************************************

Tikki snapped her fingers. A small pop sounded.

Marinette looked up. She still had no idea why she was so small.

"If you're curious, you're currently a Mini-lop rabbit. You're black and white, the white is on all four paws, on a strip from below your nose to the back of your head, and also under your neck. You have strikingly blue eyes." Tikki said.

Fu stared at Marinette oddly. Tikki looked at Fu. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"…Nothing, I just thought she looked like a…like a mal-...nevermind."

Tikki looked back at Marinette who was staring wide-eyed at Fu and her. Marinette used her paws to make wiping motions at her ears before standing and trying to walk in a bipedal manner.

"I'm afraid that won't work out too well for you," Fu said apologetically when she fell forward, her long ears flopping.

Marinette internally huffed. This was a bit humiliating.

"Miss Marinette, we are in dire need of your help. Tikki can't detransform for the sake of your safety and her own, and Plagg's… But in this form, you are small enough to sneak under the electric field."

"You have to get to that button," Tikki said pointing to a button on the wall that Marinette could most certainly get to if she jumped to the top of the low shelf near it.

'Here goes nothing.'

She flattened herself to the ground and slowly, calculatingly, eased her way under. Tikki and Fu held their breaths.

Finally, Marinette was on the other side unharmed. Immediately she began to make her way towards the shelf beginning to properly gain her footing as she went.

She pressed herself to the ground, ready to spring. She could do this.

One, two…Three.

She sprung into the air, freakishly high and landed on the shelf, it was a bit rickety. Slowly easing herself onto her hind legs, she stood and pawed around, trying to reach the button. It was a bit higher, just a bit.

"Small hop, Marinette." Tikki said.

Marinette was weary of jumping on the shaking shelf, but they were running out of time, so she did as she was told. As she hit the button, the shelf began to tip, but as the field disappeared, Tikki was there and had caught her in no time.

"Let's go," Tikki said.

"Wait, his Journals," Fu said, running to the study desk and pulling out the three journals in the drawer and rummaging around for anything else he may have missed. "Now we can go."

The room door had been locked. Tikki handed Marinette to Fu who placed her in his b.r.e.a.s.t pocket. Tikki looked behind her as she backed up.

Then she ran full speed at the door, bursting through it.

'Cool! Why didn't you use your powers though?' 

'My talents lie in creating things. If I had some sort of destruction ability, we would have been out of that field ages ago.' She said sheepishly

Fu looked the left. "There, the stairs is that way." They took off down the dark corridor.

"How are we going to find the other Miraculous?"Tikki asked as they ran.

"You forget about Wayzz's detection skills."

"Oh yes!" Tikki exclaimed.

They came to a huge room, with a glass window. Impermeable, but clear. They could see another room, made of solid grey brick at the center of it. It was big, but it looked isolated. The door was a large, silver air-lock door, in fact, it was a two-door airlock chamber. The crew stepped towards it.

"The room is filled with Hydrogen Sulphur," Fu said.

Tikki nodded. "I'll get Wayzz, the gas is toxic to you guys."

Tikki took a breath. Without hesitation, she opened the first air-lock door, closed it and bravely opened the second after a deep breath.

" Emundabit ."

The rotten egg smell disappeared in a swirl of pink.

Fu opened the doors and made his way forward to stand beside Tikki.

"How do we get into there master?" Tikki asked as they hurried towards the grey-brick room in the center of the room that was now clean of gas.

"Wayzz opens from the inside. He'll need to open both doors of this airlock chamber. If he just zaps out he can't carry his miraculous-"Fu started as he tapped the side of the fully metal air-lock chamber. The previous one was metal and glass.

"Since Plagg and I are the only ones who can." Tikki finished for him.

Tikki and Fu ran up to the door.

"How do we alert him? I mean if its airtight it should be soundproof too, right?"

Fu and Tikki thought for a minute.

Suddenly Wayzz poked his head through the wall.

"I thought I felt a strong Kwami." He said.

"How did you know you weren't popping your head into a room filled with gas right now?" Tikki asked crossing her arms and raising a brow. Wayzz rolled his eyes. "Would you be standing there if it was? I knew you did something otherwise you wouldn't have gotten in and I wouldn't have felt you there. I'll open the door and we can get my miraculous."

After a minute the door swung open to reveal a fallen Elijah. Fu walked boldly into the room and plucked the bracelet of Elijah.

"I'll be taking that." He said.

"Are you forgetting something?" Wayzz asked, holding up the peac.o.c.k brooch and the Miraculous book.

Fu turned and his eyes widened, firstly because he had been so careless as to forget about the book, and secondly, the brooch that was missing for more than eight years was now back in his possession. Wayzz, sensing his master's shock, slowly flew over and handed it to Fu who remained quiet.

"We need to leave before he wakes up, I sense the others above ground. High concentration of power."

Tikki who was still staring, gaping at the peac.o.c.k brooch, snapped her mouth shut.

"He's right." Fu said.

"We should deter his pathway," Tikki said as they all rushed out of the lab and slammed the door to stand collectively in the outer room.

"We can help, right Master?"Wayzz said with a grin.

Fu handed a helpless Marinette over to Tikki. Marinette sighed, she wished she could do something. All she had done was press a big button, any delinquent could have handled that.

"Right, Wayzz, transform me!"

In seconds Fu had become Carapace. The journals and the brooch disappeared as he morphed into the hero.

' Whoa .' Marinette thought and stared with bright eyes.

"Everyone out." Tikki didn't need to be told twice, she knew what was about to happen.

'What's he doing?'

Tikki looked at her.

"Gardening…"

Fu swiped his hand across the air in front of him.

"Anacharis.He then ran to the door of the airlock and closed it behind him. He repeated the motion and exited the air-lock chamber, closing the door. Then he stood back and waited.

Instantly the floor started pooling with water and it stopped at about 1.6 meters high within the outer room surrounding the small lab enclosed in grey-bricks. The air-lock chamber was alternatively filled completely with water. Marinette tilted her head. Water? How was water going to slow Elijah- Wait, was the water turning green?

Her eyes widened as the Brazilian waterweed began to grow under the water, at an alarmingly fast rate. It kept expanding and eventually the entirety of the water in the room was packed tightly with it. It would be extremely difficult to get through that, but that wasn't all, it seemed the growth of the weeds gave rise to algal bloom, and soon Marinette was staring at a huge mass of green, glancing at the air-lock chamber showed her that Fu had done the same thing there. It was now more Anacharis than water.

"Even if he does get to the chamber, when he opens the door, the waterweed and water in there will push him back for a bit when it flows out." Fu said.

"Wayzz, Detransform me."

Marinette closed her eyes as Fu glowed bright green for a few seconds.

"Barely used any energy." Wayzz said as he zapped out, but before anyone could comment, he was already flying down the hallway.

Tikki and Fu broke into a run after him.

'Wait, Tikki, why is he so good at detection, is that his gift?'

"Something like that, he's the Kwami for the guardians, so he needs to be able to find people and things easily in order for the Guardian to correctly allocate the Miraculous. Though he also has many talents such as growing plants and medicinal roots, and healing."

They took a turn. Wayzz stopped and looked left, then right.

"Left, it's left." He said, flying off.

They then climbed another staircase.

Wayzz looked at the path ahead, then the ones on the left and right.

"It's forward, we go forward." They all followed till they came to a vault door.

Wayzz flew in and after a few clicks, the door was opened. Fu reached out and pulled it open further only to see some sort of cold, containment unit, shelves lined some of the walls with boards exhibiting pinned insects, and bottles of formalin.

Lots of pods filled with blue, bubbling fluid. Tikki walked forward.

"Where's the box?"

Wayzz looked around. "I'm getting readings of energy, everywhere…"

"Makes sense." Fu said, as he looked into one of the pods.

"What?" Tikki asked, walking over.

She gasped. "Is…Is that…?"

"An Akumatized Kwami? I believe so…"Fu said looking at Pollen who was buzzing around the bottom of the pod, dull and fierce-looking, but still small.

"Look there's more!" Wayzz said, indicating the long line of Pods.

Tikki winced at the pod containing Howl, the wolf Kwami. It was small and somehow Howl was a fully grown Alpha-male, his white fur, and blue eyes replaced with black fur and red eyes. He couldn't move.

"If we can just find the box, I can force them to revert," Fu said.

Tikki spun around to face Fu.

"How did they get Akumatized? It's practically impossible for a Kwami to get Akumatized Fu!"

Fu sighed.

"It's impossible if all the Kwami in the designated box set have positive emotions."

"But all of them do!" Tikki exclaimed.

"No…" Wayzz said quietly, a bit uncomfortably.

Tikki stared at him. "What?" The silence that followed was unnerving.

Fu looked at her. "There are two Kwami exhibiting highly negative emotions." He said.

"…Two?" Tikki whispered.

"One is trapped, thinking she's responsible for the death of Elijah's Family and Adrien's mother…And the other has been feeding her positive energy all this time, inherently living off the smallest amount of energy that she borrows from her partner, and is riddled with guilt." Wayzz said.

Everyone was silent.

"…Me?" Tikki whispered in horror.

Marinette looked up at her.

Fu pursed his lips.

"Then... then why wasn't I Akumatized?" Tikki asked desperately.

"Because you're in love with Plagg, requited love wards off Akuma's. I doubt many of the others have any romantic interests." Wayzz tried to explain.

"We can stop this, we just need to find Nooroo and put him back in the box." Fu said. Tikki looked at him with watery eyes, laced with guilt.

"Hey, enough of that, we're going to fix this. If you're really sorry, then see this through till the end, save them." Fu said adamantly, his eyes firm.

Tikki blinked.

"Y-You're right. I will fix this."

" We  will fix this."Wayzz said. "And we can start with finding Nooroo, if we put him back in the box all the akuma's will be purified. The box can't be far, otherwise, the Kwami's wouldn't be able to be out of it, and their Miraculouses are in it after all."Fu finished for him.

"Right." Tikki said.

'I'll help too.' Marinette said with resolve, jumping down.

Fu caught on as she hopped.

"He's purple with wings and a swirl on his forehead. He's extremely timid and hides his face a lot." He said. Everyone took off in different directions of the averagely sized room.

Marinette hopped around as the others looked frantically in the tanks.

It would have been much easier if Wayzz could sense Nooroo, but there were just too many Kwami's exhibiting energy in…here.

She squeaked and everyone turned to her.

That was it! They just needed to get the other Kwami's out of the room!

She looked at the Pods, they weren't really connected to anything. It was like an egg on an egg cup.

'We have to get all the Pods outside.'

"What, why?"

'If everyone else is out, Wayzz can trace the Energy of the box and even Nooroo.'

"Marinette, you're a genius!"

"What did she say?" Wayzz asked.

"She said if we get all the pods outside Wayzz will be able to sense Nooroo and the box without confusion!"

Wayzz gasped. "She's right!"

"Well then we get the pods out. Wayzz, transform me!"

And immediately Fu and Tikki got to work, using their strength to put all the Kwami's out.

***Meanwhile.***

Elijah groggily opened his eyes. His head was pounding. With a pained groan, he sat up and rubbed his eyes.

Just what had transpired?

He glanced around the room, everything seemed pretty normal. His eyes caught sight of the saucer with strawberry residue. For a second it didn't register, but then, as if a harsh wave had hit him, he gasped and looked at his wrist.

Gone .

The bracelet was gone. His heart dropped to the base of his diaphragm when he instinctively touched the pocket that normally contained the peac.o.c.k brooch only to find it had vanished.

He paled. That brooch had been his only source of comfort all these years, it had always brought him some sort of joy whenever he held it…And now…Now they had taken it…Just like they had taken everything else.

When would they stop?

With a snarl he pushed himself up onto his shaky legs. With resolve, he hurriedly made his way over to his Hazmat suit, pulling it on as quickly as he could. He opened the first air-lock door, closed it and started on opening the second, but as he did he was pushed back by a wave of water, algae in Anaccharis. He slammed against the first airlock door and had to wait till the water stilled so that he could try to move. It was next to impossible. Elijah let out a rare cuss. There was so much of the plant, his legs were getting tangled with every step.

**********************

"I wonder what was the point of putting them in these pods filled with this liquid if they weren't even being connected to a constant supply of it. It's like he's just storing live creatures."

"Maybe it Pacifies them."Fu suggested as they moved the last few out.

Marinette looked around the empty room. It was dimly lit now that the bright pods were out.

Fu detransformed.

"Focus."Wayzz said to her as he zoomed back into the room.

Tikki cleared her head and followed.

Wayzz hovered.

Ten seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Thirty five seconds.

A minute and a half.

Then, ever so slowly, he turned his head towards the large board on the shelf.

The one currently pinning insects down.

The one currently pining down an unconscious weak kwami with splinters of the Miraculous box acting as pins.

He wasn't visible pinned down like that, only his wings showed as he was pinned face forward on the board, looking like any other ordinary, white butterfly.

Wayzz flew over to it immediately, and Fu and Tikki glance at each other, perplexed. It was only when Wayzz started to yank at the splinters on the butterfly did sense slap them harshly in the face.

Collectively they gasped and ran over to the board, Tikki jumped up and pulled the board down. The splinters pinning the kwami down ,however, were too small for them to grab and pull out. It was as if Elijah had nailed him down.

Marinette looked over at them as they fumbled at the splinters.

Wayzz was trying his best but his flipper-like arms didn't help much.

She paused. She was a rabbit, wasn't she? She flicked out her tongue to feel her front teeth. Feeling around, she was shocked to find that she,as a rabbit did not have two teeth. She had two lower incissors and behind her two upper front ones were two smaller ones,and she had more teeth around her mouth.

She looked up at Tikki and Fu. She could get the splinters out.

'Please let me try, I can use my teeth .'She said to Tikki who stilled her ministrations and regarded her. After a moment, she picked her up and placed her on the table.

Marinette tottered over to the butterfly wings and noticed the small purple limbs with small wood pieces pinning them down. It was gruesome, she thought with a horrified look.

She slowly began to pull out the splinters, grabbing them in her teeth and leaning her head back, and after four, one limb was collected the splinters. "We must reattach these to the box, else the box will never create a portal." Fu said.

"Really? How do you know they're from the box?"Tikki asked with an odd look on her face. "

"Yes, as young guardians, we were all taught that keeping the box In good condition was mandatory. And I know because this is Dwarf ebony wood. Only available at St Helena, in the South Atlantic Ocean. It's rare, highly protected and of the highest quality, more than 300 years old. It's not possible for Elijah to get this type of nearly extinct wood from anywhere but a miraculous box."

Wayzz flew backward. While they were busy, he needed to try locating the box.

Marinette had freed Nooroo's other arm.

"But… If he used splinters from the box…Wouldn't that mean the box has been broken?"

A weak voice answered.

"No, it's not broken, just chipped here and there, but fixable. He just took a few pieces." Fu and Tikki looked down at Nooroo who laid limply as Marinette worked.

"Nooroo!" Tikki exclaimed.

"Tikki, you're so big." He said.

"Long story."

"…Can imagine…Plagg?"He asked timidly.

"Safe." Tikki said.

"Good." Nooroo said in relief.

Marinette pulled out the last of the splinters. Fu gently picked the Kwami up.

"Why did he use the splinters to pin me down?"

Fu bit his lip.

"Have any of you ever been distressed in the box?"

Tikki, Nooroo and Wayzz from where he hovered looked at Fu.

Tikki frowned.

"Never actually."She admitted.

"There's a reason."

Nooroo blinked. "Which is?"

"The box is charmed, it acts as both a pathway to the miraculous world, and also a relaxant."

Wayzz blinked. "Why do we need relaxants?"

"Because the council believes that sticking you in a place for hundreds of years can't be good for your mental health."Fu said.

"We've been drugged?"Nooroo gasped before fainting.

Tikki and Wayzz g.r.o.a.n.e.d at the timid, but dramatic Kwami. "The more I learn the dumber I feel." Tikki exclaimed before sighing. "Let's find the box."

"We're discussing this later."Wayzz said to Fu who sighed dejectedly. He was a guardian, he didn't make the rules. And he certainly didn't ask Elijah to do something as cynical as pin a Kwami with charmed wood to an insect display.

Wayzz pointed at the wall.

"That's the only place in this room that I can sense energy."

Nooroo opened his eyes.

"The wall?"He asked. Marinette stared at the Kwami who she had thought fainted.

Tikki walked up to the wall and tapped her hand against it.

The wall made a hollow noise.

"Secret button to open wall?"Nooroo shrugged.

"No time."Tikki said before bringing her fist back and punching the wall as hard as she could.

*****************************************

Elijah was almost at the 1st door of the air-lock when he heard the thump. He looked up and his eyes widened.

"Shit shit shit shit!"He cussed and struggled even harder towards the door. After a minute, he made it…but as he opened it an onslaught of weeds, algae and water pushed him back several metres.

He let out a growl.

Those evil savages.

*********************************************

"Ow ow oww owww!"She exclaimed, forgetting that she felt pain vividly in this form.

"Ooooh that's got to hurt."Nooroo said.

"Why can't one of us zap into the wall?" Wayzz asked.

"Because even though we can go through the wall, the box is still a solid object, and therefore it can't come out with us," Tikki said with a huff, clutching at her hand.

They all looked at the big crack in the wall that Tikki made.

"Well, I still have my other hand." She said and drew her fist back again. Upon contact with the wall her wrist made a noise.

Everyone winced. Wayzz needed the last of his energy so that Fu could use him to open the gateway…

Nooroo looked at the pods outside.

"They're still there…How long was I asleep?" He asked.

"A while." Said Wayzz. Nooroo looked timidly at the pods.

"I could… Uh… I mean, I never gave them instructions other than stay in the pod, so…urm…"Tikki g.r.o.a.n.e.d as her recently pulverised carpals snapped back into their normal positions.

"With your permission…I could…Urm…" Nooroo poked the tips of his flipper-like arms together, glancing at Fu then looking down and repeating the motions.

"Spit it out already." Wayzz said.

"I could control one of them." He said quietly.

Tikki's eyes widened.

"You can do what?!"She gasped, dumbfounded before spinning to face Fu.

"Just how much do you know that we don't?" She demanded.

"That's only for the Guardian to know I'm afraid, with all due respect, it should remain between Nooroo and I." Tikki huffed.

Fu looked back at Nooroo… To hell with it, he had broken enough rules already, and he was already in a lot of trouble, he couldn't possibly make it any more worse.

"Do it." He said.

Wayzz looked worriedly at the pods while Nooroo zoned in on Draco, the dragon Kwami who was now a small dragon stuck in the pod.

"O-okay." He closed his eyes.

"Hello Samael. This is Nooroo, I'm granting you the power to destroy, only on my mark."

Samael looked up.

'What will I get in return?'

"Freedom from the confines of that indestructible pod."

Wayzz hovered near Tikki. "So they've been Akumatized…But not allocated abilities?"He asked. Tikki shrugged.

'Yes Nooroo.'

"Excellent, now break free."Nooroo said silkly and Tikki and Wayzz stared at each other in shock. This was Nooroo. Speaking…  Confidently?

The silver and blue dragon opened it's mouth and blasted the glass. At first it looked like nothing was happening, but then a crack appeared and the impermeable glass was now powdery flecks in the air.

"Now break this wall."Nooroo said.

Samael purred before opening his mouth. A ball of fire erupted from his throat and was shot at the wall which fell apart.

A static sound was heard and everyone turned to see a livid waterweed covered Elijah in the doorway.

"E-Excellent n-now protect us from tha-that guy!" Nooroo practically screeched as Elijah reached for his large Electric gun.

Samael made a sound before lunging forward as Elijah raised his gun.

Fu grabbed the box from the hole, pushing aside the mechanism inside the wall meant to open the wall upon pressing the button that none of them could locate. The intricate red design on the box had turned black.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh,he's going to kill us. We're dead, he's going to skewer us all!"Nooroo screamed. Wayzz snarled.

"Shutup! We have to fix the box!"

"Leave it to me! Where are the splinters?!"Tikki asked frantically. Fu hurriedly dropped the splinters into her hand.

"OHHH MY GOOOOOODD!" Nooroo screamed as a huge black blob hit the wall next to his head and caused the wall to melt into a puddle of sludge.

"We're going to die, we're going to DIE!"Nooroo wailed before Wayzz slapped him.

"Get a hold of yourself!You're immortal you fool!"

"Integro!"

The splinters of wood that had been in Tikki's hand flew back to the box, but only three-quarters of the design on the lid had turned red.

"Something's still missing!" Fu exclaimed.

"It's in this imbeciles leg!"Wayzz pointed.

Marinette who had been frantically running around the floor stilled.

'Toss him here!'She thought manically. Tikki grabbed Nooroo and unceremoniously threw him to the ground. "Waaaa!"Nooroo squeaked as he dropped, squeaking louder when Marinette practically pounced on him.

A loud explosion sounded behind them and they all looked at Elijah who was fiercely fighting the dragon who was expertly preventing him from even getting within five meters of them.

"Reptiles!We need more reptiles!"Wayzz exclaimed pointing towards the Akumatised snake Kwami; Hiss.

"Why don't  you  go fight him then?!" Nooroo yelled, uncharacteristically aggressive as Marinette bit at his leg trying to get the splinter.

Marinette got it out and Tikki grasped it.

"Integro!" She said again and the splinter flew into position causing the whole box to glow.

Tikki clapped her hands and Marinette squeaked as she was transported back into the miraculous.

Nooroo flew upward.

"How do we escape, how do we escape?!"He became hysterical, flying around.

Fu placed the box on the ground. "Tikki, fight Elijah, Nooroo,revert!"

Nooroo was pulled into the Miraculous box and Tikki jumped in front of Elijah as Samael turned into a disorientated Draco.

"You guys are REALLY starting to piss me off!" He bellowed. Tikki shielded his attack and deflected the wave of electricity that he shot at her.

"Fu, hurry!"

Elijah tried to look at Fu but Tikki jumped in front of him.

She placed her hands in front of her c.h.e.s.t and a pink and red ball of cackling electricity formed.

"Eruptus!" The ball changed into a full red ball, and she suddenly threw it him. Elijah was shocked and tried to deflect it but it was too late, and he found his body convulsing with the strength of the electricity she had just shot.

All the Kwami's had changed back into their normal forms and zapped through the pods, watching on in confusion.

"Kwami's with their Miraculous in the box, Revert!" Fu called. In a flash of various colors they all zapped into the box and Fu opened each compartment to ensure that their miraculous was there.

"Fu! Come on!" Tikki shouted.

Fu grabbed the journals, miraculous book and the brooch, transformed and placed his hands on the box.

"We, wielders and Kwami's truly dwell permanently neither in this realm or the realm of Magic. We do not wish to obtain dominance, nor are our intentions selfish. We exist to protect existence, we persevere till our heroes are created through us, and within those who lend their power. With the acceptance of being a nomad between two worlds, I open the gateway to the world of the Miraculous."

Suddenly a large split appeared in mid-air before a huge circle opened ran into it holding the box, and instantly his transformation dropped, causing the hole to start closing. "Tikki!" Wayzz and Fu yelled.

Tikki turned with wide eyes. She shot Elijah with one more bout of power before darting towards the portal. She slipped in and Elijah stared angrily at it, throwing in a dagger as the portal closed.

***************************************

Everyone lay exhaustedly on the ground. The dagger had not hit anyone but lay a few meters away, serving as a reminder of the danger they had escaped. Tikki was now a Kwami and Marinette was back to herself, panting on the ground.

"That…That was…" Marinette started.

"Scary." Tikki finished for her.

Fu held the box and sat up.

" Where are we?" Marinette asked, rubbing her eyes, when she opened them, she realised that where the portal had opened now stood thirty men dressed in Dynasty Hanfu, looking terribly cross.

" In big trouble ." Tikki, Fu and Wayzz all answered.

***************************

Plagg suddenly dropped the reversal and turned back into a Kwami. Adrien found himself sitting on the now suffocating Kwami.

"Adrien!" Nino exclaimed.

"Nino!" Adrien said back.

After a collective moment.

"Plagg!" Nino and Adrien chorused.

"Can you see?"

"How do you feel?"

"Are you weak?"

"Nauseous?"

"Why did you change back?"

"Are you okay?"

"Your throat, how's your throat?"

"Flip!The pressure cuff won't fit him, how do we check."

Plagg's sight slowly restored as his retina's reattached themselves and his pupils constricted.

The boys watched with furrowed brows.

It was terrifying seeing Plagg with seemingly fully black eyes.

Plagg's impassive face slowly broke into a cheeky grin. He knew where Tikki was, she wasn't sharing any of his energy, he felt strong, and mischievous and just like himself.

Those know it all's did it, just like he knew they would.

"Plagg, speak to us!" Adrien said as he and Nino crouched down to his eye level.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Nino asked.

Plagg blinked a few times.

"It's terrible . Horrible. Horrendous !" Plagg exclaimed.

Nino pulled at his hair. "Oh no, not horrendous !" He began to panic.

Adrien felt his own anxiety rising.

"Plagg! Plagg tell me! Speak to me!" He asked in distress.

Plagg threw himself limply onto his side.

"I think…"

He sighed dramatically.

"I think I'm sick of camembert."

All Nino and Adrien could do was stare.
