"I'd like to see how you get out of this." Ratigan scoffed. "Although you also know the second way of escape, which is safer."

"Keep dreaming we'll give you the Miraculouses!" Chat Noir exclaimed looking over his shoulder at the rat.

"Very well, if that is your decision."

The professor snapped his fingers and his henchmen opened fire. Quickly, the feline-rodent extended his staff and turned it around, protecting himself and the others from the shots.

"What's the plan?" Dawson asked scared.

"Between Ladybug and Chat Noir, they could open one of those portals to get out of here, but with this attack only one could and we're not sure the other will last long enough for us to escape." Basil observed.

«Por algo existe el dicho "mujer precavida vale por dos."» (There's a reason there's a saying 'cautious woman is worth two.') Ladybug thought.

With her tail she carefully pulled out of her pocket what at first glance looked like a small piece of charcoal. She hugged Olivia tightly and leaned close to Basil to whisper in his ear.

"Hold my hand tight. Tell Dawson to hold on tight to Chat Noir and as soon as he lowers the staff to hold onto you and Doc."

"I'm glad to hear you have an ace up your sleeve."

Basil relayed the message to the two mice, who nodded. Ratigan saw the interaction of his prey and with a wave of his hand ordered his men to cease fire.

"What are you up to?" asked the rat with 'curiosity and interest'. "Do you have your 'escape route'?

"Actually, yes." Ladybug answered. The men took it as another sign to stick together and run. "Do you like jokes?"

That question took everyone, without exception, by surprise. Before anyone thought to ask the heroine what the hell she was talking about, she threw something on the floor and immediately the entire room was completely covered in thick black smoke; so much so couldn't even see the fire in the fireplace. Screaming, the five mice, guided by the coccinellid-rodent, passed by Fidget and the thugs, fleeing down the opposite corridor from which they came.

"That was awesome!" Olivia shrieked excitedly. "A real escape trick!"

"To be a cliché it worked pretty well." Basil opined.

"What a great idea, My Lady!" Chat Noir congratulated. "But what did you use? You haven't used your Lucky Charm to get that, have you?"

"Nope. What's called 'Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder'. Ladybug answered. "Courtesy of some friends who are dedicated to making articles of jokes."

"That would explain the rhetorical question before escaping." Dawson said.

"Basil, you know this place better than us, where do we go?" the heroine asked the detective

"Honestly, I have no idea," replied the mouse somewhat doubtfully.

"WHAT?!" they all shouted as they stopped and stared at Basil in astonishment.

"Before you even think about claiming me, the part of college I know is the mousy. From the human side only the science area, from there on out I don't know anything else."

Great! Just perfect! Now how the hell were they going to...?

"LADYBUG!" Olivia yelled frightened, looking over the young woman's shoulder.

The older ones turned to see Fidget and the thugs running towards them. The five mice had no choice but to run away and try to find a way out. Oxford University was huge and they felt like they were running through a maze, so they would never get out! They left the main building and ran through the gardens. It was not a good idea to go through open spaces since they would have nowhere to hide, but what other option did they have?

They did not know the place, so they did not know the distance between the places. Although for his good luck, Basil recognized the place where they were going and knew a little about it, so without further ado they headed towards Christ Church College. However, they were unable to arrive unscathed; one of the thugs shot Dawson in the leg and the doctor fell to the ground worsening his condition as he sprained his ankle. Between Basil and Chat Noir lifted him up and carried him inside while Ladybug protected them using her wand. Once inside the building, the heroine locked the place up, keeping them safe, for now.

"Dawson!"

The coccinellid-rodent and the girl went towards the men. The detective and the feline-rodent seated the doctor leaning him against the wall.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Basil assured him. "Ladybug will heal you."

"Really?" Dawson asked in amazement.

"What?" Chat Noir exclaimed.

"Me?" asked the aforementioned bewildered

"Have you already forgotten you healed me at the toy store?" The detective recalled.

That's right, Fidget shot Basil, slashing his left side. Doubtfully, Ladybug walked over to Dawson and checked on the good-natured mouse's wound.

«¡Me lleva!» (Takes me!) thought the young woman concerned.

Unlike Basil's wound, Dawson had the bullet embedded in the back of his left leg.

"The bullet is inside, right?" Dawson said.

"Yes, Doc." answered the heroine.

"Do you think you can take it out with your magic?"

"I think so, but I don't have anesthesia or something so you don't feel pain."

"Don't worry, I can take it."

"Are you sure, Doc?"

"Yes, bear worse things in Afghanistan."

Despite the doctor's words, the heroine didn't feel safe to do so. She sighed, took out her wand and slowly removed the bullet from Dawson's leg as carefully as she could. The good-natured mouse screamed because of the pain, but he also tried to bear it so as not to scare the young woman and so she could do her job without worrying.

"Ready Doc! Here it is, the worst is over!"

"Oh, for all the heavens! Thank you!"

With a flick of Ladybug's wand the bloody bullet disappeared. The young woman pointed her wand at the wound, she had to control the bleeding quickly, she conjured Vulnera Sanentur by passing the wand three times. Basil relaxed at the murmur of the song and so did Olivia. Chat Noir... his ears paled and he gaped at his partner. He invented that spell as a counter curse for the Sectumsempra and only two other people knew about it. Could it be behind that mask was one of his friends? If so, adding the Latin American Spanish language, who was most likely to be Ladybug was...

"How are you feeling, Doc?" the young woman asked Dawson.

"Thank heavens much better." replied the doctor. "Thank you, dear."

Chat Noir saw Ladybug kept a bottle of Essence of Dittany in her yoyo. It was good his partner knew about healing magic, but he was still wondering who she could be under the mask.

"That song is very beautiful." Olivia commented. "Where did you learn it?"

"It's not a song, it's a healing spell." Ladybug explained. "Uh... I once heard a guy showing it to two girls, I guess his friends. I paid attention to the explanation and then on my own I practiced it discovering what it did."

"Anyway you found out, it's been very helpful." Basil said.

"God bless whoever invented it!" Dawson exclaimed.

Now the hero's ears blushed. He did not expect to receive —indirectly— praise for his work. He sighed in relief upon hearing his lady's explanation of where she learned the Vulnera Sanentur.

«I don't think it's a bad idea that Alex was Ladybug, the problem would be I could no longer see her as a friend; let alone after she asked me to help her practice her declaration of love as Chat Noir.» the calmer hero thought. «And as much as I want to know who Ladybug is, is too dangerous to know, we discover even we can be akumatized and we shouldn't push fate.»

Dawson's bullet wound was healed, now only his sprained ankle was missing, but for neither Ladybug nor Chat Noir knew what to do. The only thing occurred to the young woman was to use the charm to bandage.

"Ferula!"

A bandage came out of the coccinellid-rodent's wand and wrapped around Dawson's ankle. Immediately the doctor breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's more complicated, right?" Dawson said.

"Yes, Doc. Fortunately, there is this enchantment so, in the meantime, you can move around and this won't get any worse." Ladybug said.

Basil and Chat Noir helped Dawson to his feet, each looping an arm of the good-natured mouse around their necks. With that they began to walk. For some reason, Ladybug and Chat Noir had a feeling of familiarity in this place, even déjà vu. That feeling changed to awe as they passed the Great Staircase! It looked like the stairs McGonagall had waited for them in their first year!

"Did it look familiar to you, too?" Chat Noir asked Ladybug.

"Uh-huh..." the young woman replied, her gaze fixed on the stairs.

"What is it...?"

"There they are!"

Basil's question died when they heard one of Ratigan's henchmen behind them. They ran up the stairs (the men struggling because of Dawson's injured leg). Some of the thugs shot at them and Ladybug protected them with a Shield Charm. In some strange way, Oxford resembled Hogwarts and that helped the heroes a lot to get around the place. They reached the Oxford Great Hall and locked the doors causing the thugs to shake it trying to get into the place.

They went to the back of the place, and to their good luck, they found the same door that was behind the faculty desk at Hogwarts. They were able to get out there by reaching the kitchens. They found another door and stepped out into the halls. They walked quickly and cautiously in case they found someone.

"Do you think the main entrance is located in the same place, or at least similar, to Hogwarts?" asked the feline-rodent to the coccinellid-rodent

"There's only one way to find out." she replied.

They were about to reach the corridor where the Great Hall was when suddenly the place shook. Olivia and Ladybug hugged each other tightly and the men hugged each other. After the tremor, they looked at their surroundings and were surprised to see they were in a large medieval-style hall; they gave them the feeling they were no longer at Christ Church College. Basil let go of Dawson and Chat Noir leaned out the nearest window.

"Confound it!" the detective bellowed.

"What's wrong, Basil?" Dawson asked.

"Ratigan sent us to another building in Oxford! He moved us from Christ Church College to Divinity School."

"Why would he do?" Chat Noir asked confused.

"Ratigan probably used his power to turn Oxford into some kind of labyrinth and when he saw we were about to leave he pulled us away from the exit," Ladybug deduced.

"We'll never get out of here if that rat makes us explore the university!" roared the hero

"To remove that power we would have to confront him. The problem is: where is he? And add if we can find he, because it is very likely he will try to drive us away like he did with the exit."

"There's no choice but to keep walking." Basil said. Then he turned to the doctor. "Can you walk, Dawson?"

"Yes, the only thing worries me is running." he answered. "I will delay you too much."

"That is his intention. Maybe not everyone, but just hurting one of us was enough to slow our pace."

"Well, let's be careful," said the heroine.

Ladybug carefully poked her head around the door; As soon as she saw the path clear she signaled the others to get out. They walked through the corridors again, suddenly bumping into Fidget and four more thugs; they saw them and the five mice began to retreat. Because of his injured leg, Dawson tripped and fell, taking Basil and Chat Noir with him. Ladybug and Olivia were going to return, but the detective ordered them both to leave without letting the young woman reply because the hero seconded what the mouse said. Powerless, both girls escaped and the men were captured by the sentimonster and thugs.

The girls reached a hallway reminded the young woman of the infirmary wing. She found the infirmary and they both entered and locked themselves there. Safe, Ladybug flopped onto a nearby chair and ran her hands over her head in frustration. Now what would they do? Chat Noir, Basil and Dawson were captured and she didn't know what to do.

"Ladybug?"

The young woman looked up, meeting Olivia's sad eyes. The girl surely had the same feelings of helplessness as her. The young woman adjusted her deerstalker and caressed the little girl's cheek.

"Don't worry, we'll rescue them." assured the coccinellid-rodent

"Do you think the Horse Miraculous will help?" the girl suggested. "We could go to where they are and rescue them."

"The problem is we don't know where they are. It's true they could be in that office where Ratigan was, or it could be they were taken somewhere else to wait for the professor."

"And your Ladybug powers can't help you? Or your yoyo?"

That last gave the heroine an idea. She took out her yoyo and looked for a function would allow her to track her partner's gun, like that function of one cell phone to track another.

"Ah-ha!" Ladybug exclaimed. The cat icon flashed on the screen indicating they were in Convocation House. "Olivia, you're brilliant!"

"Thank you!"

The two were about to leave, but as soon as the young woman put a hand on the doorknob, stopped, confused the girl by her action.

«Aun usando mi Lucky Charm no podemos aparecer así nada más. Necesitamos ayuda, pero vuelvo a lo mismo de que no podemos salir de Oxford y no sé qué otro portador de Miraculous sigue siendo humano o fue transformado en ratón... Un momento...» (Even using my Lucky Charm we can't just appear like that. We need help, but I'm back to the same thing that we can't leave Oxford and I don't know what other Miraculous bearer is still human or was turned into a mouse... Wait a minute...)

"That's it!"

"What's wrong, Ladybug?"

"Right now we're the size of a human, right?"

"Yes"

"That's means..."

The heroine opened her yo-yo, put her hand in and took out a black choker with a red inner. She hung it on her and from it a sphere of red light was released revolved around them and a kwami with the appearance of a dragon appeared in her eyes.

"Ladybug?" asked the little red creature in surprise.

"Yes, it's me Longg," replied the heroine.

"What's going on? You regained your size, but continues with your mousy appearance."

"That's the akumatized villain's fault. But, taking advantage of that, I will be able to use more than one Miraculous at the same time, and I need you."

"You know you're counting on me, Guardian."

"Whoa! Can you use two?" Olivia asked excitedly.

"Yep. And if that excites you, check this out: Tikki! Longg! Unify!" a combination of pink and yellow lights covered the heroine.

When these were turned off, Olivia screamed excited to see the young woman's new appearance; the detective outfit was the same, the color pattern was what changed: her mask was still red, but now it only had three black spots on the top, the bottom had a yellow and black outline at the base of the sides . The right side of her body was red with black spots outlined in yellow, a black line outlined in yellow wrapped around her leg and forearm ending in her hand and foot. The left side was black with red spots outlined in yellow, a line a red line outlined in yellow wrapped around her leg and forearm ending in her hand and foot as well. The shirt was black with a yellow tie and on it the Dragon Miraculous and on her chest, in a black spot, three icons represented lightning, air and water. The deerstalker was replaced by four red dragon-like horns (two pairs of horns attached on each side) with black tips and a thick yellow outline. And on her back hung a red sword with the same icons of lightning, air and water on his chest.

"Whoa! Awesome!" Olivia exclaimed excitedly. "So what's your name?"

"Dragon Bug" the heroine answered. "Now we are going to save them!"

The girl nodded excitedly. Dragon Bug carefully poked her head out and seeing they had a clear path, the two left the infirmary and, guided by the tracker, went to save the men.

=====MDMDMDMDMD=====

"Professor, we haven't found Ladybug and the little girl yet," Fidget reported.

"Keep looking, they couldn't escape." Ratigan said. "Ladybug wouldn't abandon her friends. Besides it would be impossible for them to escape."

Ratigan and his prisoners were in the center of the Convocation House. The three prisoners were tied against the wall, Basil and Chat Noir standing and Dawson sitting because the professor 'was considerate' of the fat doctor seeing him injured. The rat turned to his nemesis, stood in front of him with their faces inches from each other, and said:

"It seems now you don't save the damsels in distress, but now you three took that role." Ratigan sneered. "This must be a very low and painful blow to your ego, right, Basil?"

"Normally that would be the case if it weren't for the fact that powers unknown to me are involved." Basil answered. "And I'm not offended either because whoever will come for us is perfectly prepared to give you what you deserve."

"Presume whatever you want, 'professor.'" Chat Noir said defiantly, to the detective's right. "But My Lady will give you a better lesson than the ones you used to give in your classrooms."

"Oh, I'm so scared! As if a woman could really defeat me!"

"Then how do you explain the times she was 'at your mercy' and was able to free herself from you?" The detective asked angrily.

"A stroke of luck, that's all. If she really looks like your 'beloved' Relda, then she will have the same end as her!"

"You dare to lay a hand on her and you... AAAHHH!"

Ratigan used his power against Basil, it was like giving him an electric shock or something. Chat Noir and Dawson yelled at the professor to stop, but the professor only increased the power of the attack causing the detective to yell at the top of his lungs; so much that they would surely be heard throughout the Oxford campus.

"WIND DRAGON!"

Ratigan barely looked to his right when a strong blizzard hit him, interrupting his attack on Basil and being sent to the bottom of the place. If it hadn't been for the restraints, the detective would have landed face down on the ground, gasping for breath from the pain.

"BASIL!"

The three men looked to where the voice came from and saw Ladybug approaching them.

"Dragon Bug!" Chat Noir exclaimed happily.

"Dragon...Bug?" Basil repeated breathlessly.

"That's what I call myself when I combine Ladybug's and Dragon's Miraculouses." answered the heroine. "Before you ask, Su-Han said we can't combine the Miraculouses of our diminutive size, but since we're human-sized now we can use more than one."

"Fascinating..."

"WHAT? DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER MIRACULOUS?" The four mice faced Ratigan who was getting up with the help of Fidget and two thugs. "Well, it doesn't matter. I'll take it from you too."

"Try it, sewer rat."

"GET HER!"

The bat and the thugs pounced on Dragon Bug. The heroine unsheathed her sword and fought them. Everyone was so focused on the fight they didn't notice Olivia sneaking in to free the men; to help herself in case the ties had any magical power Dragon Bug gave the girl her yoyo. The little girl came to Dawson's side, startling the good-natured mouse, and tried to untie him the old-fashioned way; as they well guessed the ties could not be removed so easily. A little afraid of hurting the doctor, Olivia used the weapon as Dragon Bug taught her and, to her joy and amazement, she cut the bonds. She went to Basil, but the detective indicated with a nod she let go of Chat Noir first, so the girl did. As soon as the hero was free, he took out his staff and ran to help his partner. Finally, Olivia freed Basil and as soon as the detective was released he fell to his knees and as best she could the girl held him in time.

Dragon Bug brushed the thugs off her, but Fidget readied his peg leg to attack her from behind. He was about to do it if it wasn't for someone hitting him full in the face , throwing them at the feet of his boss. The professor angrily saw the Miraculous bearers, their nemesis, the brat and the fat man; he was not going to lose to those lesser beings so easily. He put a hand in the inside pocket of his vest to take out his bell, that action did not go unnoticed by the heroine.

"Oh no! You don't! Water Dragon!" She shot from her hands a strong jet of water towards the akumatized villain and the sentimonster, leaving them completely drenched.

Dragon Bug was going to use the lightning power when Ratigan counterattacked the heroes with his power throwing them along with their mouse friends.

"I'm already fed up with these childish games!" the professor bellowed. "If you don't want to die, GIVE ME YOUR MIRACULOUS!"

The villain launched another attack at the heroes, but they manage to get out of the way in time and go to their friends.

"Ratigan lost control," Basil said. "We need to protect ourselves somehow."

"I have the solution for that." Dragon Bug said. "Olivia, my yoyo please." The girl handed the gun back to the heroine. The young woman opened the yoyo and from it she took out a black string bracelet, with a turtle-shaped charm divided into five aqua green trapezoids with an equally smaller figure with a black border and a white circle in the center. "Chat Noir, use the Turtle Miraculous." She said, holding out the magic jewel.

"Understood, My Lady." replied the hero.

He took the Miraculous, put it on his right wrist and from it a sphere of water green light was released revolved around them and a kwami with the appearance of a turtle appeared in his eyes.

"Ladybug? Chat Noir? What's going on?"

"Hello Wayzz, as you can see we need your help."

".Understood Ladybug."

One of the attacks passed close to where they were hiding, that was the hero's signal to transform.

"Plagg! Wayzz! Unify!! a combination of lights of different shades of green covered the hero.

When these were extinguished, Dragon Bug and the others contemplated the new appearance of the young man; his attention was the same, the color pattern was what changed, just like when he used the Horse Miraculous: The frock coat was still black, but now had six green hexagons on his chest as well as the shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, and shoes. His gloves also turned green and on his right wrist, there was a black wristband where the Miraculous posed. His hair was now short and half this aqua green. His mask was black on top and aqua green on the bottom. A shell-patterned shield rested on his back.

"Tortue Noir ready for action" the hero introduced himself

"Cover us!"

Tortue Noir took out his shield and came out first taking Ratigan's attacks. Soon the others left. Dragon Bug was carrying Basil and Dawson as they were injured, and Olivia was in front of them. They were about to reach the door, but a powerful attack caused the five mice to separate; Basil and Dragon Bug were kicked out of the Convocation House and Tortue Noir, Dawson and Olivia away from the exit.

The young woman and the detective took shelter outside, they needed to think of a new plan and fast. Inside the Convocation House, Ratigan (now backed up by Fidget) attacked the three mice.

"Protection!" Tortue Noir raised his shield and created a green hexagon-patterned force field, protecting himself, Olivia, and Dawson from their opponents' attacks.

Outside the Convocation House, Dragon Bug was rapidly healing Basil.

"How you feel?" the heroine asked the detective

"Much better now. Thank you." thanked the mouse.

"It seemed to me Tortue Noir used his power to protect them, speaking of the Turtle Miraculous he only has five minutes left before he loses that power."

"The limitation of power?"

"Yes. We can only use our power once and after that we have five minutes before we go back to being civilians."

"To get rid of the enemy we would have to distract them, but how?"

That gave Dragon Bug an idea.

«Pues ya que. Es peligroso, pero esto es una emergencia.» (Well, since. It's dangerous, but this is an emergency.)

She took her yoyo, sent a quick message to Rena Rouge, waited ten seconds, opened her yoyo and took out a gold pendant with a pendant in the shape of a fox's tail bordered by a thin piece of the same gold color. The pendant was a bright orange color divided into 5 sections with increasingly pale orange tones ending in a white tip.

"Another Miraculous?" Basil asked confused and then worried. "Wait, you're not thinking of using a third, right? It's true I don't know anything about these, but using three...!"

Basil's scolding was cut short as Dragon Bug turned face to face with him holding out the necklace.

"Basil of Baker Street, Basil Holmwood. This is the Fox Miraculous, with the power of the illusion, you will use it to do good."

The detective looked at the jewel in astonishment and then at the young woman. Was this serious? Was the heroine really trusting him with a Miraculous when from the beginning she said no because he didn't know it? The confusion must have shown on his face, because right away Dragon Bug told him:

"I know I'm contradicting myself at the moment, but it is an emergency and for this we will need to work more united than ever."

Basil didn't know what to say; Dragon Bug was entrusting him with something important, and he would not fail her. The mouse nodded and took the Miraculous. He hung it on him and from it a sphere of orange light spun around him and a foxlike kwami appeared before his eyes.

"Oh, wow! A giant mouse!" exclaimed the little kwami. "Are you Chat Noir, but as a civilian?"

"No, Trixx. This is Basil of Baker Street." Ladybug said.

"It's the mouse you went to ask for help!"

"Exacttly"

"Are you sure it's a good idea to trust him with a Miraculous?"

"Of course, Trixx." The heroine turned to the detective. "When the mission over you will return the Miraculous to me. I know the question is out of place since it calls into question what I said, but I always ask those who I give a Miraculous to: can I trust you?"

"Elemental, my dear Dragon Bug," Basil replied. "In the same way I trust you."

The heroine smiled. She looked down at the fox pendant discovering it was now completely brown.

"You only have to say one thing" the kwami said to his temporary bearer. "Trixx, Let's Pounce."

"Trixx, Let's Pounce!" Basil exclaimed.

An orange light of transformation covered the detective. When it faded, Dragon Bug couldn't help but let out a gasp when she saw his superhero appearance: an orange mask with black visors covered half of his face, an orange hat with a black ribbon where a white feather rested on the upper part, the suit was orange with a white front and white belt. Black gloves reached his elbows and black boots reached his knees. An orange high-collared cape with a white lower edge perfectly covered his body. Fox's Miraculous secured the cloak.

Dragon Bug was stunned, Basil's heroic look was exactly the same as the one he wore in Lilgrimmaple and Bookwriter94's Silver and Gold story! Except for the colors, obviously.

«Me sale que su nombre de héroe es "Masked Phantom" ¡y me da el soponcio!*» (He comes out his hero name is 'Masked Phantom' and he gives me a daze!*)

The new hero checked his new appearance. The only thing he said was 'fascinating', he found an orange flute with white stripes on his left side like a sword, took it and examined it.

"This obviously must be my 'weapon'

"Uh-huh..."

"How exactly does this power of illusion work?"

"You play a few notes on the flute." Dragon Bug whistled. "think about the kind of illusion you want to create and say 'Mirage'." Basil nodded in understanding, the heroine continued. "You can move your illusions as you wish and even make them talk. A warning: do not let them touch them because otherwise they will disappear, revealing the deception."

"I understood."

"Okay, another warning; Since we are in 'human' size, the Miraculous have its limitations, as I mentioned before; we can only use our power once , hence the Miraculous will sound and begin to 'turn off' (in your case the divisions of the pendant will disappear, in my case the points of the earrings) as a countdown giving us five minutes before returning to be civilians. So we must use our powers wisely."

"Understand."

"By the way, what superhero name will you use?" «¡Que no diga Masked Phantom! ¡Que no diga Masked Phantom!» (Don't say Masked Phantom! Don't say Masked Phantom!)

Basil put a hand under his chin thoughtfully. They remained almost thirty seconds in silence until the new hero said:

"Delusio*"

"Okay, Delusio...

"You two, don't move!"

The Miraculous bearers turned to find Ratigan's thugs running towards them. Dragon Bug and Delusio ran, what a debut for Basil as a superhero, he would first have to deal with Ratigan's minions before facing him. And they had to do it quickly, because Tortue Noir's time was running out and the attacks of the akumatized villain and sentimonster were getting stronger.

They reached the Rector's Garden and were surrounded by the professor's men. The heroes stood back to back, searching for a way out.

"Do you happen to have another one of those 'smoke coals' you used at the office?" Delusius asked in a whisper.

"That's better indoors." Dragon Bug replied. "But I have another 'ace up my sleeve'.

The heroine subtly took out of her pocket something at first glance looked like a speaker. She surreptitiously threw one, the object ran through the garden dividing into several more speakers, which grew tiny feet, positioned itself between the thugs and released thick copper smoke while making very loud noises. Dragon Bug threw her yoyo onto the roof of the Convocation House, wrapped her arms around Delusio's waist (the hero wrapped his arms around the girl's neck), and the two escaped the chaos.

They went back inside the Convocation House, peeking out in time to see the green hexagon-patterned force field disappear and Tortue Noir revert to Chat Noir. Wayzz hid in Olivia's hat.

"Your new trick is over, kid." Ratigan said, approaching his rivals. "Give me those jewels and I'll let you go."

"Never!" exclaimed the feline-rodent

"That's my signal," Delusio said.

"Remember: They can't touch the illusions or it will disappear." Dragon Bug mentioned

The fox-rodent knew it, but it came to his mind the powers of the Miraculous were being discovered by the bearers. So... Delusio picked up his flute, played the notes as a sphere of orange energy was created at one end of the instrument.

"Mirage!"

The hero pointed the illusion at them.

=====MDMDMDMDMD=====

Fidget was holding Chat Noir with his right arm extended towards his boss as Ratigan approached him. The game was over, he would have two Miraculouses for the price of one, now he would just have to go get the girl's and eliminate Basil.

The doors of the Convocation House opened abruptly and Dragon Bug and Basil entered through them.

"Let them go now!" exclaimed the young woman, threatening her enemies with her sword.

"The game's afoot, Ratigan!" exclaimed the detective. "We won't let you get away with yours!"

"Ah, there you are wrong, my dear friend!" said the evil professor. "I always get my way."

He snapped his fingers and out of nowhere his thugs appeared surrounding Dragon Bug and Basil. Fidget was still immobilizing Chat Noir, suddenly he felt something touch his shoulder, he looked over it finding a subject dressed in orange, hat and mask of the same color. The bat released the feline-rodent and lunged at the fox-rodent, but the fox managed to dodge him and knocked him out with a strong blow to the head with his weapon.

"Who are you?" Chat Noir asked surprised and confused. Then he realized that as a cloak brooch was the Fox Miraculous. "You're not Rena Rouge!"

"Obviously, my young friend." replied the new hero. "I'm Delusio."

"And he doesn't come alone." said Dragon Bug, helping Dawson to get up.

"My Lady! I didn't think you could find someone else to entrust the Fox Miraculous to, I didn't even think I could get out of here."

"Chaton, you seriously can't guess who's behind the mask?" The heroine asked incredulously at her partner's confusion.

Despite being busy managing his illusions, Delusio smirked at the 'ignorance' of the young bearer of the Black Cat Miraculous.

The thugs pounced on 'Dragon Bug' and 'Basil', but the 'young woman', hugging the 'detective', dodged the attack by jumping on them causing them to crash into each other. Ratigan launched his power against his enemies, taking advantage of the fact they were in the air to knock them down. Dragon Bug and Chat Noir looked worried at the attack, if the professor managed to hit them he would discover they were just illusions. But the concern disappeared giving way to astonishment when seeing the attack hit the illusions squarely in the chest causing them to fall to the ground a few meters from the rat.

Ratigan laughed wickedly as he approached his 'enemies'.

"This is finally over," said the professor.

'Dragon Bug' and 'Basil' looked up at their enemy.

"Elementary, Professor Ratigan." 'the detective' said. "With your defeat."

"Pardon?"

"Reality!"

The heroine and the detective disappeared in an orange smoke before the puzzled look of the professor.

"What the hell...?"

"No! They just used the Fox Miraculous on you!" Papillombre warned. "What you faced were illusions and powerful ones!"

"What do you...?"

"When you attacked them they should have disappeared from the beginning NOT THEY MADE THEM DISAPPEAR!"

"A worthy Harry Houdini trick, don't you think?"

Ratigan looked ahead meeting Dragon Bug, Chat Noir, the girl, the fat man and a new hero dressed in orange. But no sign of Basil, that was more than enough for the professor to know who was behind the mask.

"Apparently the scales are balanced." Ratigan said, staring at the new hero. "I have the power of Papillombre and you now have a Miraculous. So what do you call yourself, Basil?"

"WHAT?!" Chat Noir, Dawson and Olivia yelled in amazement.

The aforementioned was not surprised his nemesis discovered his identity, as was (and surprisingly) Dragon Bug. They couldn't leave campus and the detective was nowhere to be seen and a new superhero appeared in his place, so it was elementally obvious.

"Delusio," replied the fox-rodent.

"Interesting and clear allusion to your power. But it will take more than that to defeat me."

"I think so." Dragon Bug said, picking up his yoyo. "Lucky...!"

Before the young woman could use her power, Ratigan turned into a wisp of smoke, picked up Fidget and left Oxford University, fleeing again.

"NO!" shouted the frustrated heroine

"Damn rat, he ran away again!" obviously the hero

"We have no choice but to leave and look for him again." the new hero pointed out.

Suddenly a beep was heard coming from Delusio. The fox-rodent looked down at his Miraculous seeing a third division shut down.

"Let's get out of here and feed the kwamis." Dragon Bug pointed out.

T The five mice finally came out into the garden at the main entrance of Oxford. Before reaching the door, the three Miraculous bearers detransformed.

"Tikki! Longg! Reverse morphosis!" Saying that sentence, Ladybug and Dragon's Miraculouses were deactivated, completely detransforming their bearer.

"Claws In!" said the hero, returning to being Severus Snape.

Wayzz climbed out of Olivia's hat, went to Plagg, and the boy handed each kwami a cheese crumpet.

"This is the right size!" exclaimed the kwami of destruction excitedly, greedily eating his crumpet.

The protection kwami rolled his eyes at his companion's attitude, thanked him for the food, and ate his own.

"What do I have to say?" Delusius asked Alex.

"Let's Rest" the young woman replied, handing over Tikki and. Longg a crumpet of that to each.

"Let's Rest!" orange light of detransformation ran through his body, turning back into Basil of Baker Street before the astonished looks of Severus, Dawson and Olivia.

"My Lady, would you be so kind as to explain to me why you entrusted him with a Miraculous when you said no from the beginning?!" questioned the jet

Alex handed Trixx a cheese crumpet before answering.

"It was an emergency. Also, it's already dangerous to use two Miraculouses at once, or did you want me to risk using three? It was easier to entrust one to Basil because, clearly, we couldn't get out."

Severus didn't say anything else, he turned to Plagg and Wayzz who were eating happily. Once the kwamis were fed, the youngsters transformed again. Chat Noir and Basil returned Turtle and Fox's Miraculouses to Ladybug.

"Thank you very much for the help, Wayzz." said the feline-rodent

"It was a pleasure helping you." the kwami said by way of farewell.

"Same here, Trixx. And it was nice meeting you." said the detective.

"Don't be so formal to say goodbye. Besides, since the bad guy got away, who says you won't need me again?" the kwami pointed out

"You're right about that." said the coccinellid-rodent. Then she turned to the second red kwami. "Thank you very much for your help, Longg."

"You know the kwamis we serve the guardians without question." the dragon kwami replied. "Although you prefer the term 'help' and see us all as friends."

"Worthy of Ladybug," Chat Noir commented with a smile.

The heroine stored the Dragon, Turtle, and Fox Miraculouses in her yoyo. They left Oxford and were surprised to see they returned to their diminutive size. They didn't understand exactly what Ratigan was planning to do wanted them human-sized, but at least it helped the youngsters could use two Miraculouses at once.

They climbed on Toby's back and returned to London, resuming their search.
