The heroes observed the night dance of Mayan tradition. Female dancers dance traditionally to their people for entertainment. Making their ululating calls to attract attention.

"It really does exist. I always thought it was Aztec or Olmec but it's Mayan" Panthera observed.

"I've seen a lot of history dance cultures like in Cambodia, India, and Africa. I've never seen one like this" Blu Tembo said.

"It's fascinating to learn their culture. It's like feeling the rhythm in battle wars and dancing rituals through body language. It's as if it took our ancestors to learn how to talk first" Ladybug said.

"Pretty much" Blu Tembo agreed.

"I still don't understand that drink stuff made us hear them speaking English. Alien stuff they found in a meteor centuries ago?" Cat Noir asked.

"Maybe or magic?" Ladybug guessed.

"Maybe. It takes years to learn other languages than just seconds of process" Cat Noir said.

"Okay then" Ladybug shrugs.

"It's definitely an alien technology in the meteor. Just like with Ancient Egypt, some believe that aliens are gods to them" Blu Tembo said.

"You sure of that?" Panthera asked.

"I'm not sure," Blu Tembo said.

"Histories can sometimes have truths and deceptions but our kwamis lived beyond their time to remember each era," Ladybug said.

"Yep, even before their animal bases," Cat Noir said.

Blu Tembo felt his counterpart lurking around somewhere, "Indeed. I suppose evolution can happen on kwamis too" He said before making an excuse to not ruin their moment as he walked away to find him.

"Where are you going?" Ladybug asked.

"Just exploring" Blu Tembo lied.

"Let him soak it in," Panthera said, understanding he likes his privacy.

Blu Tembo walked to the border of the city, searching for Loxodon, "Kom fram vart du än är!" He called out.

"Looking for me? Lost your mother on the way, young calf?" Loxodon comes out of the shadows with a menacing look.

"Hello, Loxodon. Face to face with me or should I say Me against Myself?" Blu Tembo said.

"Whatever you wanna call it, just because we both have the same miraculous" Loxodon grunts in annoyance.

"That may be true but I restore memories like a superhero. You erase memories like a supervillain. Totally different paths" Blu Tembo crossed his arms, "I know you can't kill me because you probably killed others which is too easy for you"

"They deserved it for their misdeeds," Loxodon said.

"Really? Have you never thought about why they do misdeeds? What if they were forced by anyone? Actions speak louder than words" Blu Tembo said, punching the tree for bananas to drop as he caught one in his hand, "Villains don't do great things but selfish gain and greed"

"You have no idea what I had to sacrifice. I erased my family's memories" Loxodon said.

"So do I, but not like this. I don't have to know why you do that because I know you won't tell me because you're either in pain or going through mental trauma" Blu Tembo ate his banana.

"You don't know bullshit!" Loxodon had his tusk sword near Tembo's neck but he didn't flinch.

"Well, I know that sometimes a man's goatee makes them evil" Blu Tembo smirked.

"Or a mustache" Loxodon glared.

"You're a lot more ruthless than expected. Like Shadowmoth, he uses innocent victims as pawns to get them to do his dirty work. You and Oscura don't seem like the type to team up with any villain" Blu Tembo threw the banana peel aside.

"We work for no one!" Loxodon replied.

"Really? Then why did you almost team up with that madman at the museum?" Blu Tembo asked, although he knows but he's testing the villain's nature.

"I was never gonna side with that coward! He's just a waste of time!" Loxodon denied.

"Mmhmm. You and her seem to have more experience when someone tries to manipulate a promise or a deal, it only turns out they are getting them to do the dirty work for them. Is that why you and her are not that dumb to trust a liar or a manipulator?" Blu Tembo can see why these two are very ruthless and prefer to be love wolves on their own terms.

"Yes. Nobody's using us! Dead or alive!" Loxodon pulls his sword back.

"Answer me this, why don't you just think rationally and do the right thing abandoning your killing spree and restoring your family's memories? My father and mother support my job and my sister looks up to me as a superhero. Even my uncle inspired me to be a hero. He told me to be strong enough to be gentle. I know that you kill to get the pain out but it won't work, you only cause more pain and suffering to yourself" Blu Tembo tries to make Loxodon see some sense.

Loxodon thought about it but didn't want to believe a single word from a stranger manipulating his choices. Just like with a poacher who manipulated his choices and it ended up as a disaster in the end to lose his majestic beasts.

"Are you trying to manipulate my CHOICE?!!!!" Loxodon roared in rage to kill him.

Blu Tembo yelped and dodged the sword that sliced the tree, "What?! No, I'm not!"

"LIAR!!! I WON'T FALL FOR ANYONE'S TRICKS EVER AGAIN!!!" Loxodon chased after him.

Blu Tembo then hides up in a tree to ambush him, "He's mad as an elephant on musth!" He thought.

"You better watch your ass, boy! I live by my rules! No one tells me what to do with my life!" Loxodon said before slicing the tree in rage before exhausting himself out, "That bastard almost had me!" He walks away in the jungle.

Cat Noir thought about what his father would say by the time he came home. He hates how his father hates to see mistakes without supporting him. Like Marinette's parents, whenever she makes a mistake in her life, they always support her flaws. He misses his princess a little. Especially how he hated himself when he didn't listen to her about Lila's lying nature that got Marinette framed and expelled but reinstated. He doesn't know why Lila would do that but he hopes one day his father sees Lila's deception because for the past few weeks, he's not comfortable around Lila in modeling. Adrien never chooses her to be one but his father always gets to decide what's best for him against his will. Although his father never supports Adrien's own decisions.

"I'm such an idiot for telling her to take the high road," He said to himself.

He's unsure if taking the high road is bad advice but after waiting too long, it's unlikely that Lila will ever change or learn to be a better person if she can't be honest with anyone or herself at all. Although from what he learned, white lies are harmless when it comes to protecting secrets but with Lila, she uses black lies which seems very hurtful when it comes to framing, lying in persuasion, and wanting to hurt someone.

"Hey, Kitty. Are you alright?" Ladybug asked.

"I've been thinking about how right you were about that liar, Lila Rossi. When Oni Chan was after her, I never realized how dangerous Lila was to lure me away from you. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I focused too much on akumas being dangerous that I forget when some normal people can be more dangerous too. Even if some are willing to or want to be akumatized to get revenge" Cat Noir apologized for how oblivious he was during the Oni Chan incident, "Even with Mayura using Senti-bug to claim my miraculous, I was reckless"

"We both have been reckless, Kitty, and I don't blame you for falling for her deception," Ladybug said.

"But that's not the point. Lila doesn't take advice that often. And now she's made another lie on the blog about our new friends. They probably feel more upset about her the same way you felt when she made a lie about how you are best friends with her and saved her life" Cat Noir said, feeling ashamed that he has no experiences with liars ruining lives.

"Yeah, and it makes me mad that Alya does not check her sources. I get it, she's young but still" Ladybug said.

"You can't make her see the outcomes, mariquita. Only she herself. Someday she will when the moment comes. Give that lady blogger more time to come around" Panthera sits with them, "It's like parents always say to their children. You'll understand when you're older"

"Exactly," Ladybug said.

"And don't worry, as long as everyone remains loyal to you both, Lila will one day face the consequences of her actions. Even if no one can see through her lies, only one being can witness her moves" Panthera said.

"And who is that?" Ladybug asked.

"God. He will always be the witness" Panthera said.

"Right of course. And for Lila she'll face her sins" Ladybug said.

"Someday. And so will Shadowmoth too. You have new teammates with you. The snake, the monkey, the fox, the new bee, the turtle, all you trained them to be. And that's teamwork and that's something Shadowmoth doesn't have. Whatever happened to Mayura, maybe she failed or he thinks she wasn't strong enough. You two work together and get creative, he only thinks about greed and power which is why he's constantly losing due to personal gain" Panthera explained why they both work together as a team.

"Together we're unstoppable. Speaking of which, our elephant friend seems to have been away for too long" Cat Noir said.

"I'm sure he's soaking in all the bioluminescence jungle again. You gotta admit how beautiful it looks at night. But I'll go find him, just to make sure those counterparts aren't having a rage fit again" Panthera stands up, "By the way, gatito. You're not alone. There will always be fans around you. I'm still a big fan of you" She said before heading off to go find her partner.

"Good luck," Cat Noir said.

With Loxodon, he stopped at some waterfall, reflecting on what Blu Tembo told him. The more he killed he only caused more pain to himself, almost becoming what he hated.

"There you are. Judging by your face, you have second thoughts" Oscura said.

"Yes, I do Oscura. Sacrificing my family's memories was in vain and as pathetic as my counterpart's words were, he was right" Loxodon said without looking at her.

"He got into your head, didn't he? Just like she did to me too!" Oscura snarled.

"They just won't give up. But I can't bring myself to kill him, it's like killing yourself" Loxodon ignored her anger.

"We don't know if this parallel universe of them are us, cabezón! Do not let manipulation get your guard down!" Oscura said, not wanting history to repeat again with being manipulated by anyone again.

"Don't make this more difficult, Oscura, or else!" Loxodon sharply turned at her in rage.

"Or else what? We've both had difficult lives before we met. You and I are still fugitives from the elders. If they take our miraculous, we are nothing!" Oscura glared angrily.

"Then maybe I'd rather be no one!" Loxodon shoves her back.

Oscura chuckled insanely, "Really? You rather be defenseless without your miraculous? You'll be dead and I know you, Pelle. There's a threat to come and you won't have elephants or anyone if the evil god claims billions of universes to take over. Think of it as your dreams to be dead. But suit yourself since you rather walk away and die on your own without me around. You got nowhere to go" Oscura said, not caring if he chose to go on his own but he should know that this is not their home world they came through.

"Goddamn it, fine! Stop talking about elephants that I love!" Loxodon roared angrily at how good she with making very good points.

"Then start being a big boy for god's sake!" Oscura hates how childish he gets every time.

"THEN DON'T GET ME ANGRY!!!" Loxodon shouted at her.

"GRRRRR!!!!!" Oscura snarled like a jaguar but then took a deep breath to calm down before their argument led to a fight and a fight led to a distraction.

As soon as she gained her tranquility before glaring calmly, Loxodon growled under his breath before he simmered down, "Fine, whatever, let's just calm down" He breathed in and out before speaking calmly, "When this is over, I go my way. That is if we ever get back home"

"We will," Oscura said.

Back in Paris, Gabriel is getting furious and he cannot wait any longer. No sign of Adrien is making him angry at how useless these people are with no luck in finding them. Not even his enemies are coming back and he so wanted their miraculous to bring his wife back so the family can be complete.

"I cannot wait any longer! It's time to take drastic measures! Nooro, Duusu, unify!" He transformed into Shadowmoth and brings out his white butterfly from his cane to evilize it so it can sense his anger, "Reverse mephorsis!" He detransformed back and lets the Akuma touch his reading glasses so he can become an akumatized villain to open forbidden portals to places that are myths and legends.

He soon found El Dorado's location, "There you are"
