Claw Noir read the list of things he needs to become holy again like everyone else so that the holy objects don't weaken him. The only problem on the list is the things from non-existing monsters that never get discovered by humans except for him. Werewolf's claw, vampire's fang, mummy's heart, zombie's brain, and a human skull.

"Okay this won't be easy," He thought.

Thankfully he is a vampire and has fangs to take out and another grows back in seconds. He pulled out one of them but flinched, "AGH! Ugh!" he felt the new one grow out. Last time was very painful as well as a new fang pushing through his gums. Licking the blood off and adjusting to his new fang.

"But how am I gonna get the rest?" Claw Noir wondered.

"What are you doing?" Ladybug startled him

"Aaahhh!!!" He morphed into a cat by a jump but Ladybug caught him in her arms, "Jeez, do not sneak up on me like that" He said before jumping off and morphing back.

"Sorry, Kitty. But the trick-or-treating style really got you cute" She snickered at his reaction.

"Tricking was rude but your treat was thoughtful" Claw Noir chuckled and was given a blood bottle by her.

"I know" Ladybug replied.

"Next time I'll get revenge for that. In a cute harmless way," Claw Noir said before sipping blood.

"I never get scared by you, Kitten Noir. So what are you up to?" Ladybug asked.

"Check this out" Claw Noir showed her the list.

Ladybug read it through and saw the ingredients, "Scavenging for real ones? Kitty, they don't exist. No one has ever seen real ones. It always ends in a hoax" Ladybug said.

"But I'm the real vampire. Just cursed. I know who gave us the miraculous. Master Fu and I bet you know him. You usually go to the massage parlor on Fridays" Claw Noir said.

"Yes, I know him and he told me the story. But is he really that serious to think this is real to find these? No wonder they say monsters are made-up stories so mankind doesn't discover their existence" Ladybug said.

"Dead serious, Milady" Claw Noir said.

"And how are you gonna find them? The human skull is easy because it remains in the catacombs. Or from head hunters which haven't been around a lot," Ladybug said.

"Two professionals we know," Claw Noir said.

"If you insist," Ladybug said.

Later, they both came to the Liberty boat and two goth siblings were greeted by the heroes.

"Hello Luka and Juleka" Ladybug said.

"Hello. You two on a romantic date?" Luka asked.

"Sort of. I did manage to capture a ghost footage except I encountered a doppelgänger of me. But anyway, we need your help. Do you know where we can find real monsters? Like zombies, werewolves, mummies, anything?" Claw Noir asked.

"Well in Egypt there are still undiscovered tombs, many have traveled there but none survived," Luka said.

"Werewolves are said to be European legends. They are always spotted a lot in Europe. Most in Mexico, most in Russia, and most in South America. Due to witchcraft or curses, they put on men. Or women" Juleka explained the details.

"The stories of zombies originated in Africa and were then brought to the Caribbean island of Haiti. Legend tells us that a zombie is created through magic by a voodoo priest, known as a bokor. Some were said they exist by voodoo" Luka explained the details of zombies.

"In 1936, in a small village in Haiti, a mysterious woman appeared in ragged clothing. One family took her in, claiming that she was their relative, Felicia Felix Mentor, who died 29 years before and was now a zombie. No scientific proof but the photo was taken by then" Juleka explained the real story.

"That's terrifying," Ladybug said.

"Yup. Which is why they twist the stories into deception. Same with history events to hide the truth" Luka said.

"Yep. Though Dracula was inspired by a Romanian prince called Vlad Dracula the Impaler" Ladybug said.

"Using bodies on iron stakes was very inhuman" Claw Noir shuddered.

"Yes, he had his victims impaled while eating," Juleka said.

"Okay, okay. Do you know where we can find a werewolf? I bet those movies were based on real life but twisted it up for deception" Ladybug asked.

"There is one in London. Hence from the movie years ago. Rumors say this man has a 'rare hairy disease' to convince worldwide to believe it is" Luka said with air quotes.

"Then we better pay London a visit," Claw Noir said.

"Again, like you did last time. Especially with a terrorist that tried to destroy the London Bridge. Based on that children's song really made him insane" Ladybug said.

"I couldn't let him destroy the only famous bridge that was built 1 year before I disappeared. It took them 8 years to build" Claw Noir said.

"But you saved it in time," Ladybug said.

"I almost wanted to bite his neck but I didn't. Anyways, where in London will I find the mutt?" Claw Noir asked the twins.

"It's said he lurks in Crystal Palace Park," Luka said.

"That's where we'll find him," Ladybug said.

"Remember, take this with you" Juleka handed over a silver bullet.

"Has it happened in real life than in movies?" Claw Noir said, taking the gun with silver bullets.

"Well according to tales, silver is among the few things that can kill a werewolf," Juleka said.

"Yet there is no scientific nor logical reason why. It just does" Luka said.

"It's as if silver is like fire for them," Ladybug said.

"Some used to say silver kills vampires in the old days," Juleka said.

"Yes, well, vampires are unholy which is why holy objects repel them. Thank you for your help" Claw Noir said before giving the footage of the ghost and Claw Blanc, "In the meantime, inspect my doppelgänger. And put garlic or anything to keep him away from you"

"Of course" Luka nodded.

"Another new monster hunt for you, lord noir," Ladybug said.

"Yes, wanna come along Bugaboo?" Claw Noir asked.

"Me to be your knight in spotted armor this time, my lord?" Ladybug flirted.

"More as my partner," Claw Noir said.

"Of course. London we go. Good old jolly London" Ladybug said before swinging to the roof

"See you soon," Claw Noir said to the twins before leaving.

Claw Blanc saw them and heard they were going to London to find the werewolf which he also needed too. If he wants to make an exchange to bring Lila back he can be his real self to exist. That is if Lila can keep her promise as she can be wise with her bargain with the devil in Hell.

"Just you two wait," He said.

"I'm running out of time before I am next to be forced to swim in a pool of lava, fool!" Lila communicates in the handheld mirror.

"I'm doing my best but we are evenly matched. And technically when you were alive, you did sell your soul to Satan" Claw Blanc reminded her.

"Yes to get back at Adrien," Lila said.

"You cursed him and made him want revenge on you too. Fire with fire burns both" Claw Noir chuckled evilly.

"I could undo his curse to kill him," Lila said.

"I checked and it can't be undone. He was cursed for over a century, it's already part of him now" Claw Blanc said, knowing that he sensed his curse could not be undone at all.

"Just follow him and make sure you tell me what he's up to or I will end your life! Argh! Hurry up now! I'm about to be pushed into lava by demons now!" Lila was cut off before the mirror returned to normal and he also cast no reflection.

The next day, Marinette told her parents that she and Adrien were going to London.

"Uh, just to see his home world. Right, Aiden?" Marinette signaled him to make this convincing.

"Of course, London brings so many memories since I last lived there" Adrien lied.

Although it was pretty much a lie but for his fake identity in this world.

"Aiden, promise to look after Marinette," Sabine said.

"Boyfriend's honor" Adrien raises his hand, "My princess, as your lovely knight, I shall promise your king and queen of the bakery to protect you" He bows for her.

Marinette giggled at his silly performance, "You have your word, my loyal knight in handsome armor" She used the bread as a sword to knight him.

Tom and Sabine found this act amusing, "For a year you finally blossomed even more, dear"

"Thank you" Marinette smiled.

"No thorns to grow on a rose" Adrien held her hands.

"Yes, my Prince," Marinette said.

"Let our friends know too while I let my family know. That way they don't have to worry so much" Adrien kissed her cheek.

"Of course" Marinette agreed.

"I'll see you on the train, my princess," Adrien said before he took his leave.

"See you soon, Aiden," Marinette said.

At the mansion, Adrien was packing his luggage with clothes. Argos hands him a brand new chew toy of a squeaky fish toy in his mouth.

"Good boy" Adrien pets him.

He barked to let him know that he'll need this for biting to reduce stress.

"For my emotional need," Adrien guessed.

"Yep, Argos is a smart boy," Felix said.

"You sure you'll be okay? I don't want that white doppelgänger of me to hurt you" Adrien said.

"I'll be ready, I got the holy water, crosses, and garlic ready," Felix said.

"And don't die or get cursed like I did. We don't want Lila to gain victory by ending the Graham de Vanily bloodline" Adrien said.

"I won't let her," Felix said.

"But you do need to come out of your batty wings, Adrien. You've been hunting like a cocky cat instead of being more serious in a fight. Since your princess is coming with you, this won't be different when you fight monsters alone most of the time"

"I know" Adrien closed his suitcase.

"You don't, Adrien. I'm still fighting my self-doubt to get out of my shell, you haven't gotten out of yours yet which is why I'm gonna ask you questions to get you motivated" Felix said.

"The hell are you talking about? I'm still standing for a year and I haven't gotten my ass killed, yet" Adrien said.

"Unless something happens to your lovely bride, you could lose yourself. Now pay attention. Are you gonna let monsters make a fool out of you?" Felix asked.

"No," Adrien said but not enough confidence.

"Are you gonna let them tell you what to do?" Felix asked again.

"Of course not!" Replied Adrien.

"Are you gonna let them kick your ass and force you to admit defeat?!" Felix pressuring him.

"No!" Adrien clenched his fists and his fangs out.

"Are you gonna let Marinette die in your arms?!" Felix yells at him.

"NEVER!" Adrien shouted.

"Are you gonna harm innocent people out of madness?!" Felix held the chew toy in case Adrien tried to bite out of anger.

"Never in a million years!" Adrien replied.

"Never what?!" Felix shouted like a soldier.

"I WOULD NEVER KILL OUT OF MADNESS!" Adrien repeated loudly.

Felix hands the squeaky chew toy for Adrien to bite to get his pressure out which he does, laughing a bit that he's biting roughly and hearing the squeaky noise.

"Tired out?" Felix laughed a little.

"The emotional need is kicking in" Adrien let go of the toy.

"Is it all out?" Felix asked.

"Yes, it is" Adrien replied.

"And try to not get your ass killed again. Throughout the times was just dumb luck for you" Felix said before handing him the Egyptian relic for water to blood drinks.

Adrien took it, "Dumb luck or not, Ladybug saves my ass a lot. You saved my ass too"

"Indeed" Felix replied.

"So try to save your ass from getting killed. Remember last time how many panic attacks you were going through? I had to hypnotize you to calm down like a hypnotherapist" Adrien said before making sure he was packed and ready.

"A lot. But I'll be fine" Felix said.

"And try to date a girl by taking small steps. I know Lila put you through so much but that doesn't mean every girl you encounter is the same as her" Adrien said.

"Easy for you to say when my self-doubt protects me from trying," Felix said.

"I understand," Adrien said.

"He does have a bit like your stubbornness, kitten" Plagg reminded him.

"Yes, after all, we're family," Adrien said.

"For an old boy you are, you sound like my grandfather wanting Justice," Felix said.

"At least I don't look like a grumpy old man" Adrien replied jokingly.

"Mmhmm. Now get going before the train leaves. My family and I will be fine. Grandma expects you to come back alive again" Felix said.

"I'll be back in a few days" Adrien grabs the suitcase.

"Good luck catching a werewolf," Felix said.

-

At the station, Marinette was waiting for Adrien after saying goodbye to her friends. Her friends gave her respect for how much Adrien wanted her to travel to his 'home world' in London to understand his life. Adrien came to the Startrain where it's the fastest station that travels only to London underwater. Adrien in his old days traveled by boat to London but now today they invented an underwater train station. And back then the trains were powered by steam, now they were electric.

"Here I am, princess" Adrien arrived with his suitcase.

"Right on time, Adrien," Marinette said.

"Heh, I once remembered in my old days traveling by boat but this is like a new future," Adrien said before getting on board with her.

"Cool. Well, steam takes too long to power up the engines" Marinette said.

"Electricity really did change everything" Adrien took his seat with with her.

"It sure did," Marinette said.
