I don't know why Gabriel and Tomao are forcing their kids to be bonded because a friend of mine told me that in France, arranged relationship/marriage is illegal and what they are doing is definitely illegal. So far, only Felix, the bodyguard, Marinette's parents, Nathalie, and their classmates support Adrienette. Gabriel, Tomao, Lila, and Chloe do not.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Argos and Cat Noir quickly made the Optigami follow the Akuma without being spotted by Monarch, they saw it was Ramier's about to get akumatized into Mr. Pigeon again.

"He's using the turtle one!" Argos said.

"How?" Cat Noir asked.

"Look!" Argos left a spy cam sentimonster to spy on Monarch bringing Wayzz to him and transferring the ring to another.

"The alliance rings. I should've known! That's how he's doing it!" Cat Noir said and saw the next camera on the tablet focusing on Mr. Pigeon and noticed the alliance ring on his finger.

"No good" Argos gasps.

Suddenly, pigeons swarm in the sky, "Well looks like it's up to me and Ladybug" Cat Noir said, "Keep going with the footage" He told Argos.

"Stay out of sight, I get it" Argos understood.

Cat Noir runs to aid Ladybug. If the alliance rings are what contain the power of the miraculous, then he'll have to destroy the alliance rings, one by one.

"Hang on milady, I'm on my way!" He ran faster.

-

With Ladybug, she was fighting Mr. Pigeon on her own again. The birds were trying to attack her but she deflects them with her yo-yo shield.

"Where are you, cat?! I could use a predator to eat these birds!" Ladybug said to herself.

"Well here comes the hunt!" Cat Noir lunged forward and swings his staff at them, "Achoo!" He sneezed from getting too close to the pigeons.

"Oh, that one. Lucky charm!" Ladybug cast one and out came a surgeon mask, "A face mask?"

"Works for me" Cat Noir puts it on and unsheathed his claws to scare the pigeons out of his way.

In Ladybug's polka vision, she sees the ring on Mr. Pigeon turning red and black, "Kitty, the ring!"

"Got it!" Cat Noir pounced on the supervillain and grabs the bird caller and the alliance ring, "The cat catches his prey!"

"NO! IT CAN'T BE!!!" Monarch watched in horror when Cat Noir removed the ring and crushed it.

Then he crushes the bird caller, "Cataclysm!" He touched the Akuma to destroy it.

He then tossed the face mask to Ladybug, "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" She tossed it to fix the damage.

Cat Noir makes his leave but Ladybug pulled his tail, "Something is wrong with you, kitty. Why can't you just talk about it?"

"I don't want to and I told you, I don't like to be petted" Cat Noir crossed his arms.

"Please Kitty. Don't escalate the situation. We've gone through a lot" Ladybug pleaded.

"You've been through a lot first. Mine is different this time, milady. My job is classified when I said I'm helping my friend live" Cat Noir said.

"Right. Also what made you figure out the alliance ring is the source?" Ladybug asked.

"I kind of figured there have to be two sources of the mega akuma" Cat Noir half-lied.

"Elaborate please," Ladybug said.

"Mr. Pigeon never had an alliance ring on his finger. Since everyone is wearing alliance rings, this means there's a connection with a transfer" Cat Noir said.

"Are you sure, Kitty?" Ladybug asked.

"Yeah, I kind of overheard Monarch somewhere, talking about alliance rings to Gabriel" Cat Noir gave a hint but didn't reveal yet about Monarch's identity.

"That figures," Ladybug said.

"See you tonight, milady. Can't catch this cat burglar" Cat Noir chuckled and pole vaulted out of here.

"See you later" Ladybug ran off before her transformation wore off.

-

Argos was spying on Kagami at the park practicing her fencing with her mother. He really wanted to talk to her but not when Tomao is around. He can see that Kagami doesn't want to be in love with Adrien, no matter how many times Tomao fills her daughter's head with commands.

"Like a pigeon watching the view" Cat Noir said from behind.

"Are you gonna eat me again?" Argos chuckled.

"Not today. Ladybug now knows about the alliance rings secret but is not yet ready for Monarch's identity" Cat Noir said.

"You didn't tell her that I'm back?" Argos asked again.

"Not yet. I'm not sure she'll trust you again. After all, she's been through a lot" Cat Noir said.

Argos watched Kagami trying so hard with fencing but losing against her mother, "Sometimes I know what it's like to be pressured" Argos said.

"Yeah. Though Tomao is harder" Cat Noir said.

"Marinette is lucky to have you. I don't understand why Tomao and your father are forcing you to bond with Kagami" Argos said.

"Me either. It must be part of that deal they talked about" Cat Noir said.

"I don't like it. An arranged relationship is illegal" Argos said.

"It is?" Cat Noir asked.

"Here in France. Think about arranged marriage" Argos drew an example.

"Of course. Unless, it's something else" Cat Noir replied.

Argos was too busy watching his lovely queen looking disappointed while taking a break, drinking water to stay hydrated.

"Uh, Argos?" Cat Noir waved his paw in front of the bird's face but no reaction.

"She's beautiful" He sighs in love.

"Oh man," Cat Noir shook his head.

Argos accidentally let out a bird honk noise out of his mouth and quickly hid behind the chimney wall in embarrassment.

"Oh my god. "That happened to me too when Ladybug landed on me, I purred" Cat Noir related that moment.

"It's not funny" Argos blushed.

"Yeah. We get animal traits while transformed" Cat Noir said, "That was a mating call" He snickered.

"It was not a mating call!" Argos defended himself.

"Okay then" Cat Noir shrugs.

"I mean it!" Argos growled.

"I know, I know" Cat Noir replied, "I told Ladybug I'll see her tonight" He added.

"Let me guess, cat burglary?" Argos guessed.

"Yeah, that" Cat Noir grins.

-

Later that night, Cat Noir crashed into the jewelry store, purring seductively at the purrecious diamonds.

"Meow, purrfect" He saw a diamond necklace, "Come to daddy" He purred.

"Lost your litter box, kitty" Ladybug tried to snatch the jewelry but Cat Noir dodged.

"Finders keepers, milady" He puts it around him.

"Since when are jewelry your interest?" Ladybug asked.

"Cats like shiny things, milady" He purred.

"I never thought you're still stealing, kitty cat," Ladybug said.

"I'm very untamed, milady" Cat Noir circled, "But that doesn't mean I'm a bad guy"

"I'm afraid I have to make you return them" Ladybug prepares to catch him.

"Wild cats are very addicted to shiny things" Cat Noir pounced on her to stop her but she wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Agh!" Cat Noir felt her hips pressed against his, "What the hell are you doing, milady?" He groaned, stroking her legs.

"I'm taking you to the cage" Ladybug said, blushing that his hands are on her hips.

"I'm too feral, milady. Feral cats do not like cages" Cat Noir squeezed her thighs, trying to get them off.

"Agh! That was almost on my butt!" Ladybug exclaims.

"Meow, you got very strong legs, milady. Please get them off my waist like a good lady you are" Cat Noir flirted while stroking her legs.

They got off each other, "Is this for the boy you're helping?" Ladybug asked.

"Spot on, milady. And I'm also homeless too. I live with street cats. They are raising me very well" Cat Noir purred.

"Cat Noir, be honest with me" Ladybug pouted.

"I am. Let's just say I'm his guardian Angel, milady. Someone really loves him and I want my lovely princess to be happy" Cat Noir said.

"Hmmm. Well, you're ready to risk your reputation being ruined" Ladybug said.

"I don't care about my reputation, milady. I'm sick of akumas ruining everyone's life. When I find Monarch, I just hope that cataclysm spreads on his body! He deserves to rot in Hell for what he's done!" Cat Noir said angrily with an angry meow.

"Kitty, that's really low of you to say! I hardly recognize you now!" Ladybug pleaded.

"He did this to himself, Ladybug! In the past, he wasn't this violent, but now he's gone psycho! I'm done showing mercy to him!" Cat Noir said and heard fluttering coming this way, "CATACLYSM!!" He touched the mega akuma in his destructive hand, "Where are you, Monarch?! Come out and fight like a man!"

Ladybug got increasingly worried. The feline jumped around on the walls like a cat due to his anger but then he slowly got exhausted as he slumps against the glass display, "Whew! Now I'm tired" He panted.

"Oh, kitty" Ladybug walks up to him.

"Ladybug, I just need some rest," Cat Noir said, taking the jewelry and leaves, not wanting to be petted.

"Argh! Lucky charm!" Ladybug is forced to fix the damage again.

-

Cat Noir came back to his lair and saw Felix sketching Kagami but apparently, he's terrible at it. Duusu was being supportive of him but he gave up.

"A little practice and it should be improved," Duusu said.

"What are you doing?" Cat Noir asked.

"Just trying to draw Kagami," Felix said.

"I'm guessing you spy on her passion for drawing" Cat Noir said.

"Yes. So how was Ladybug out there?" Felix asked.

"Well.....she seems upset to think I'm turning anti-hero. It was fun flirting with her but my heart is already taken by my lovely puuuuurrrrrrincess" Cat Noir purred.

"Why not pay Marinette a visit?" Felix suggested.

"I will tomorrow morning as Adrien. Besides, I'm having a happy time of my nine lives being wild and free from my ex-father" Cat Noir said and went to have a glass of milk.

"Let's hope nobody interrupts," Felix said.

"And again, you definitely made a mating call like a peacock" Cat Noir laughed.

"Shut up" Felix replied annoyed.

"Not until you admit that you do love Kagami" Cat Noir snickered at his reaction.

"Alright fine. She's the love of my life" Felix admitted reluctantly.

"And yet you don't even know her much," Cat Noir said while sipping his milk.

"I might ask her out once her mom is out of the way," Felix said.

"You do know she's gonna whoop your ass" Cat Noir laughed.

"As long as she doesn't wield a sword," Felix said.

"Here's my advice. Her passion is being an artist, not a sword fighter. If you want to meet her, don't spook her" Cat Noir said.

"Okay then" Felix nodded.
