After their date at the mall, Adrien went back to his lair and saw his cousin getting along with Kagami. He can see that Felix is starting to change a little but that doesn't change the fact that he's still being punished.

"Well, how's my favorite dragon and bird doing?" He said to get their attention.

"All right and still getting my ass punished," Felix said sarcastically.

"Heh. Well Marinette and I experienced Chloe akumatized again but Ladybug came in time" Adrien said.

"I told you that brat is annoying as usual," Felix said.

"She's just gonna keep ruining her reputation and abuse her power," Kagami said.

"Just like Lila. I don't know what you saw in Lila but she once tried to ruin Marinette's life, Kagami. She once manipulated me but I can see she's a manipulative liar" Adrien said, thinking about that cataclysm on his father, "Same thing my father did to me. Toxic friends are very good at filling our heads with lies"

"I thought she was capable of changing and being a genuine friend but I was wrong," Kagami said.

"I thought the same thing and look where it led me to," Adrien said, pouring a glass of milk.

"Why do you drink milk whenever you come back?" Felix asked.

"I just love milk" Adrien replied and drank some.

"Never mind. It seems that Ladybug and you are still a good duo" Felix said.

"Even though I kill the akumas," Adrien said.

"Isn't it Ladybug's job to purify them?" Felix asked.

"Yes, but I use my cataclysm on them now after the object is broken. As well the alliance rings" Adrien said.

"Alliance rings?" Kagami said.

"Yes, these rings your mother provided to my father and replaced phones," Adrien said.

"I just find it cool but I agree with you. It's way too popular and everyone uses phones" Felix said, playing the image of digital Adrien on screen, "I'm guessing you hate the image everywhere?"

"Yes, after we learned these rings' purpose," Adrien said.

"Your father is a monster" Kagami snatched the alliance ring and smashed it on the floor.

"Hey!" Felix exclaims.

"You heard your cousin," Kagami said.

"I heard but you didn't have to smash it on the floor" Felix complained.

"Plus, these can track people as well," Adrien said.

"What?!" Felix exclaimed.

"I'm not sure if they can" Adrien shrugs.

"Yes, since no one but us three know our hideout, they don't seem to know where to find us" Felix pointed out.

"Not even Ladybug," Adrien said.

"And don't forget, bird boy. Ladybug is the only one that can stop Monarch. Next time, do NOT screw it up like you did by betraying her and your cousin" Kagami glared with her Oni eyes.

"I get it already! Sheesh!" Felix replied in an annoyed tone.

Adrien snickered at this, "That's what you get for pissing me, her, and milady off"

"Right" Felix sighs.

"Doublecross again and it's the other eye" Adrien warned.

"I like to keep my eyes sharp, not blind" Felix glared.

"Then start being a good boy for once. That stunt you did by transforming in front of everyone is a violation code as a superhero" Adrien said and tossed the bat miraculous to Kagami since she's gonna need more freedom as a superhero.

"Arigato" Kagami puts it on.

"Hence why I can't show myself in public here," Felix said.

"Greetings, I'm Fangs" Fangs revealed himself.

"Hi, I'm Kagami" Kagami greeted him.

"Wow, Japanese. My previous holder was Japanese" Fangs said.

"Hai. So what do I need to say?" Kagami asked.

"Say Fangs, wings flap" Fangs said.

"Fangs, wings flap," She said. In a few seconds, a black leather suit appears on her, with a red-eyed mask appearing over her eyes and wings appearing on her back.

"From now on, call me Kokuyo. It means black night" Kokuyo said.

"Perfect" Adrien smiled.

"Wow, you look neat" Felix checks her out.

"Thanks. I need some freedom tonight" Kokuyo said and flies out the window.

"What do you say we go to a nightclub, my prey?" Adrien smirked at him.

-

A while later, the two cousins arrived at the nightclub. Even if they are underage, superheroes can get in for free since their age is their secret identity. They hid in the alley to transform.

"Plagg, claws out!"

"Duusu, spread my feathers!"

They both transformed in seconds before Cat Noir spoke, "Stay near me" Cat Noir walks in first with Argos after him.

"Predator protecting his prey. How ironic" Argos said.

"Some animals have what's called symbiosis," Cat Noir said.

"Hmph" Argos huffed and they both went inside.

"Hey look, it's the bird boy!" Some of the patrons recognized Argos.

"And his pet Kitty," Another said.

"This bird can create monsters" Argo growled.

"Ones that can kick ass" Cat Noir added.

"Look at those demonic eyes of a devil bird" The biker laughed.

Argos lost it and grabs the biker's wrist and does a cartwheel flip.

"AAAAAAAGH! MY ARMS!!!" The biker screamed.

"Don't ever make fun of me!" Argos snarled.

"Why are you standing there?! Eat the bird!" The injured biker begged Cat Noir.

"He's already my slave. As a hero of Paris, he's my prisoner" Cat Noir dryly joked. Argos glared but had to act like one without causing trouble.

"And yeah, I'm having him for dinner" Cat Noir gave Argos a hungry look.

"Hmph!" Argos scoffed.

"If you touch him, I will claw your eyes out" Cat Noir hissed at everyone.

"Was this necessary?" Argos whispered.

"Extra punishment for you, my favorite cousin" Cat Noir chuckled and sat at the bar table, "A glass of milk please," He said to the bartender.

"Coming up," The bartender said.

"And some peanuts for me," Argos said.

"And cranberry juice for him, please," Cat Noir said.

"Thanks" Argos accepted the glass of cranberry juice.

The feline gulped 5 times with his glass of milk before taking a breather, "I'm still thinking of what milady will do to you"

"Like punching me while I'm tied like a punching bag?" Argos asked.

"Yeah that or once Monarch is defeated you'll have to give every miraculous back to her personally," Cat Noir said.

"Even mine. You do know I want to help, kitty cat. I've been stuck with my corruption long enough until I finally broke free" Argos drank his juice.

"Yeah. If Monarch goes too far again, I'm going to make him truly suffer" Cat Noir said.

"You do know that he has your cataclysm. Is this your first time on a living person?" Argos asked and ate peanuts.

"Yes, but unwillingly," Cat Noir said.

"We are both traumatized by the consequences, kitty cat," Argos said.

"And may I remind you that my father tried to get rid of you. Twice. The Punishers and The Collector tried to kill you" Cat Noir reminded him.

"Yes, so we have something in common" Argos said.

"For starters, you had to cover my ass when we switched places" Cat Noir reminded him again.

"Yeah, I know" Felix replied and ate some more peanuts while Noir drank his milk.

"Do you have a plan or what?" Argos asked.

"To defeat Monarch? Yeah. We're going to infiltrate Monarch's hideout, smash the containers with kwamis and snatch the rings" Cat Noir said.

"You do know he has the rings. Your lady is gonna need us but I do know she's gonna kick my ass" Argos said.

"Yup. Purrhaps give another scar" Cat Noir said.

"Stop saying scar. Don't you think I've been punished long enough?" Argos glared while drinking his cranberry juice.

"Once Monarch is defeated you will return to London with Kagami and never return," Cat Noir said.

"Don't be so cruel, cousin. I still have a job to fix. I'm not gonna do nothing" Argos said.

Suddenly, Cat Noir's cat ears twitched that he hears danger coming, "We need to go, now!"

"Alright" They ran out.

Once they got out, they saw none other than Lila as the new Safari, she loaded her crossbow and aimed at Ladybug nearby.

"Give me your miraculous, Ladybug!" Safari demanded.

"Never! Not to someone like you, Lie-la!" Ladybug refused.

"Please don't tell me that's the manipulative liar" Argos groaned at Cat Noir.

"It's her" Cat Noir ran as Safari fired at Ladybug.

"She's a monster!" Argos couldn't take it anymore and he jumps into action.

"Heads up, milady!" Cat Noir pushed Ladybug out of the way.

Argos tackled Safari and breaks the akumatized object, "Hunting season is over, hunter!"

"Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug grabs the akuma and purified it, "Bye bye little butterfly"

Safari transforms back and screamed at Argos, running away in fear from his creepy eyes.

"YOU!!!!" Ladybug was beyond pissed to see him come here and lasso her yo-yo at the car to throw it at him, "YOU BASTARD! TRAITOR! LIAR! EGOCENTRIC IMPOSTER!" Ladybug kept throwing heavy objects at him but Argos dodged all of them at once.

"LADYBUG! NO!" Cat Noir had to grab onto her in the full-nelson grip.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHY IS HE HERE?!" Ladybug yelled.

"I'm here to help! I swear!" Argos said.

"LIAR!! YOU BETRAYED ALL OF US!!!" Ladybug so wanted to kill him.

"Ladybug calm down!" Cat Noir didn't let go.

"Why are you defending him?! He betrayed us like a bad dog he was!" Ladybug struggled aggressively.

"He wants to repay his crimes and prove he can change!" Cat Noir said.

"I don't care! Even though he brought everyone back it doesn't change a thing! He made Monarch!" Ladybug couldn't get out of his grip.

"Shhh.....shhhh.....shhh. Calm down, milady. Calm down" Cat Noir licks her cheek affectionately

Argos just looks down in shame, seeing how he broke Ladybug. Cat Noir waited for his lady to simmer down so that he can explain to her that Argos is not here to cause mischief again.

Ladybug's aggressive panting soon came and she stood up sternly, "Explain kitty cat. You said you dealt with him" Ladybug looks at her partner.

"Are you calm?" Cat Noir wanted to make sure.

"Yes. Explain why you allowed the traitor to come here?" Ladybug crossed her arms.

"I didn't! He came first! I can see he's changed a little but he's still being punished. He is making it up for his cousin and he also saved Kagami from her abusive mother! I swear!" Cat Noir said.

"Is that true Argos?" Ladybug glared at Argos.

"Yes. I did. I know I don't deserve forgiveness for what I've done, No more sentimonsters like that. And I'm sorry for trading with that monster, I'm willing to give them back to you" Argos said.

"Why should I trust you? You've done more than enough. I don't trust you even though you undid your mistake by snapping us back. You're out and so are you Noir!" Ladybug said.

"Milady, stop! He's being genuine this time! He made a huge mistake with his first sentimonster! He wants to help and so far, he has tried really hard to change!" Cat Noir reasoned with her.

"Alright. I give him one last chance. But if he blows it again, he'll have to renounce his miraculous" Ladybug said.

"If he betrays us again, I'll eat the bird for you," Cat Noir said.

"For the last time! Cats are no match for peacocks" Argos groans in annoyance.

"Wait until the tiger comes" Cat Noir sneered.

"Hmph. You're really getting annoying" Argos crossed his arms.

"If you ever trick us again, I will send you to hell! Better yet, my cat will claw your next eye!" Ladybug glared at the peacock.

"Alright! But I know how we can defeat Monarch, just the four of us" Argos said.

"Four?" Ladybug raised a brow.

"Kagami" Cat Noir said.

Kagami suddenly flew down in her bat hero form, "Call me Kokuyo"

"The bat miraculous. It does exist" Ladybug was surprised.

"Argos saved me from my terrible mother, Ladybug. Even I'm mad at him as you are but he wants to fix his mistake" Kokuyo said.

"I've given him one last chance. Now that we're four, I need to know how we're gonna defeat Monarch as a team" Ladybug said.

"Let's bring this to a private talk, milady" Cat Noir said.

"Very well, Kitty" Ladybug said while Argos and Kokuyo followed.

-

At their hideout, Cat Noir made a minor excuse that Adrien is having his freedom at night. Even if he's him, he can't risk revealing his identity to her.

"So this is Adrien's new home?" Ladybug asked.

"Yes. I often come here to bring him supplies and food" Cat Noir replied.

"And I simply told him why I came back," Argos said.

"I see. And where did you find the bat miraculous?" Ladybug asked.

"It's a complicated story," Cat Noir said nervously.

"So what do you know about Monarch's usage of the kwamis?" Ladybug asked again.

"I sent one senti-spy on him and they are kept in containers each. Each miraculous are converted to rings" Argos told her.

"Oh, that's gonna be a problem to restore them," Ladybug said.

"Unless the celestial guardian can," Cat Noir said.

"Yeah, works for me," Ladybug said.

"Gabriel Agreste is Monarch. Which is why Adrien ran away. Argos was the only witness of Gabriel's dark secret" Cat Noir said.

"Which Is why I traded all the miraculous to him for an exchange of the peacock miraculous. But then knowing that my uncle went too far with abusing the kwamis. It's time to make this right by stopping my uncle. His madness is beyond insane" Argos clenched his fist.

"Gabriel is Monarch?! Which means.....He akumatized himself to fool me and Cat Noir when I suspected he was Hawk Moth" Ladybug gasps.

"And the last time he did, it was probably an illusion" Cat Noir guessed.

"And that day at the party, I saw it was a sentimonster" Argos said.

"How?" Ladybug asked.

"My sentí-uncle had one pair of pants ripped while my real uncle did not" Argos explained.

"He tried to akumatize you, didn't he?" Kagami asked.

"Almost. He even threatened me" Argos replied.

"You are such a complicated boy who can't learn to understand the difference between good and evil" Ladybug glared at him, "We saved you twice, I don't know if I can save you again!"

"I was blinded by madness and now I wanna get back at Monarch. He didn't trade for me, he used me" Argos said.

"And how did he use you? It seems Flairmidable is good at doing dog tricks" Cat Noir said sarcastically.

"I never knew how badly he would abuse them," Argos said.

"Because you had no idea what milady and I have been doing for over a year," Cat Noir said.

"Yeah. But anyway, we need to make the plan the next time Monarch strikes" Argos changed the subject.

"The plan is you are going to retrieve the miraculous, save the kwamis, and done. Someone has to confront Gabriel long enough to distract him" Ladybug said.

"You're not suggesting to use Adrien as bait?" Kokuyo asked.

"It's only Gabriel's weakness," Argos said.

"Fair enough. While you, Kokuyo, and I go into the hideout. Cat Noir, I'll give the signal to strike" Ladybug said.

Cat Noir was looking nervous because he can't be Cat Noir and Adrien at the same time, "Well, I'll call when I'm needed" Cat Noir said.

"Alright. I'll let Adrien know about the plan" Ladybug said.
