Monarch detransformed back and looked at his cataclysm arm spreading near his hand. Experiencing with using Second Chance power really accelerated it on his body and now instead of having a few months left, he now has a minimal few weeks before his lifespan is cut short.

The imprisoned kwamis tried to warn him but he silenced them cruelly, despite that these kwamis have the wisdom of centuries, he does not.

Tomao came into the lair and smacked his wrist again at the control panel, just like last time in his office. Despite being literally blind as a bat, she never misses her target.

"You sent an akumatized villain to endanger my daughter?! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" Tomao demanded by pressuring his wrist on the panel.

"AAAGH! I can't control this one! Her hatred, rage, and fury overrode my command" Gabriel explained.

"You are the foolish man to choose a victim to turn her back against you! Because of you, I almost lost my daughter! Fire in her rage will continue to burn its way!" Tomao pressures his wrist hard, "And yet only Cat Noir is out there, and no sign of Ladybug! You destroyed Paris!"

"You're right for once, I made a fatal mistake," Gabriel said.

"Princess Justice will have your head for this" Tomao moved her bokkun off his wrist, despite hating to work with him with the contract, "And that means your downfall is close," Tomao said.

Nathalie came up to the lair, angry at herself that Gabriel had akumatized Adrien's girlfriend but also the news said that Lila Rossi was a fraud and a pathological liar with no mental treatments for her mental behavior without adults aware of being deceived by a minor.

"I hope you're happy, Gabriel. You hired a fraud that made Marinette the biggest threat Paris ever had!" Nathalie scolded him.

"It wasn't my fault! Princess Justice turned against me!" Gabriel being hypocritical to believe it's his akuma's fault.

"Stop being a hypocrite again!" Nathalie coughed at her condition, "Adrien was very upset because the love of his life was akumatized! And because of you, your Akuma puppet is seeking justice for people who made her life more miserable than just Lila! She has you on the list!"

"I can't undo it! Her resistance is too strong!" Gabriel explains why he can't control her.

"Gabriel, I was hoping you were better than this. You're not only trying to save your wife but causing more damage and harm by destroying the future for everyone else, including mine and Adrien's. You can think you're doing this for Adrien's happiness but Adrien is not living in the past" Nathalie explained, has observed, supported, and listened to Adrien more than him.

"You're not his mother and I decide what's best for him" Gabriel refused to accept the hard truth.

"No, you only decide what's best for yourself and the life you won't have for long. I promised Emilie to look after him like a mother. That's what she wanted" Nathalie takes her leave.

Gabriel sighs, knowing his time is soon up. If he doesn't get the miraculous to make his wish come true, Adrien will forever become an orphan and his grief will become emotionally painful.

Cat Noir explained to Kagami in the alley in private about Lila's lies causing more damage at school but no one ever thought she was also a fraud and a pathological liar to manipulated people to do her bidding the same way Monarch uses his akumatized victims to do the dirty work for him.

Kagami never thought Lila would go that far without shame or guilt at all in her eyes. It was as if she's good at acting but actions speak louder than words. And from what the news said, Lila Rossi was a fake name that never existed in any identification records.

"I can't believe this, all this time Lila was nothing but a disguise," Kagami said.

"I'm afraid so. Ladybug was right from the beginning we first fought her as Volpina, she was a liar. I can't believe I was this stupid but never have I seen how much of a psycho coward she is to try and get rid of Milady but also try to make my princess more miserable because Marinette can see through her lies" Cat Noir said, feeling angry at himself to experience life outside can be mixed with good or bad. His father was right that the works can be cruel and dangerous but his mother always taught him that life can be good if people choose to be good while others choose a bad path to become bad.

"And with Ladybug away, I need a temporary holder for these" He gave Kagami the earrings.

"I'm not Ladybug. I mess things up just like I let my judgment cloud me. Because of me, I let Lila pull my strings. Especially I can't believe in myself like you don't believe in Argos" Kagami sighs in disappointment in knowing how Lila caused this mess but Kagami herself was responsible for ruining Adrien's Public date with Marinette.

"This is your chance to redeem yourself. I can't fight Princess Justice alone, please Kagami, help me out" Cat Noir pleaded.

"Very well. But you are gonna need more help. Felix has the peacock miraculous. He also hated himself for creating a bigger monster" Kagami said.

"No. I don't trust him. From the beginning we first met, he tried to sell me and Milady to that monster for an exchange. I'm not making that same mistake again" Cat Noir refused to trust him again.

"He saved me from my mother. Without creating a sentimonster. He proved himself to redeem. He just wants a second chance to be good rather than let emotional scars haunt him" Kagami explained Felix's redemption.

"Kagami, you don't know what he's like. He's a liar and a thief. He was Flairmidable at that time. Ladybug was betrayed by that dog because Ladybug thought she gave the dog miraculous to Adrien. You have no idea how much Ladybug suffered to lose all the miraculous because of him. She blamed herself so much to believe she was not worthy of being the guardian or the holder of the Ladybug miraculous" Cat Noir explains the experience of Felix's betrayal.

"And so has everyone too to trust Lila. Lila was a bigger monster than Monarch, Cat Noir. We can't fix the past but we can save the future. Felix wants to make this right. He suffered more than thinking he's doing this for Adrien's freedom and mine but he doesn't have much experience with teamwork" Kagami said.

Cat Noir sighs, knowing how much he wants his princess back but his lady is not coming back and there's no one to fix the damage with a miraculous ladybug cure. Princess Justice could also try to kill Argos for causing reckless damage at the Diamond Dance but also made an enemy too.

"Okay, fine. But knowing your mother, she probably doesn't want you with Felix. But if Argos betrays me again, I won't show mercy but metaphorically eat the bird. Especially his old pal Flairmidable because cats hate dogs. I can't believe I'm doing this" Cat Noir hands the ladybug miraculous to her, "Remember, the miraculous is used for the greater good, not for personal gain"

"Got it" Kagami put the earrings on, and Tikki appeared.

"Greetings Kagami. I'm Tikkie. All you gotta say is spots on" Tikki said.

"Tikki spots on!" Kagami transformed into a ladybug-themed heroine, with traits of Ryuko. A bit with Japanese style but has to choose her name for it, "Call me Sukāretto" Sukāretto said.

"Very well. I'll remember that, in your Japanese culture" Cat Noir does his respectful bow with his hands clasped together.

Sukāretto bowed back to him, "We brought the balance back for the time being"

"For now. I don't see any distress in town but I know a few list of victims she'll go after. She already got her justice from Lila, not from yours since I got in her way. Principal Damocles got her expelled once for believing Lila's side of the story over hers. He could be next. Gabriel Agreste is also on her list for trying to manipulate her decision to let go of this relationship with Adrien. Chloe always tries to bully her so much that it only gets worse for her. Alya, her best friend, never believed her when she tried to warn her about Lila" Cat Noir made a few list of people his princess seeks to bring justice.

"We must find Princess Justice before she goes too far," Sukāretto said.

"No, we need to be aware and observe her motives. Last time I got my ass kicked and it was very ugly" Cat Noir said.

"You're right" Sukāretto replied.

"And you might want to remove the alliance ring. My instincts are telling me to not trust it. It's like with phones have tracking systems" Cat Noir said.

"If you insist" She replied.

"If you talk to Felix, tell him that this cat will claw his feathers out if he tries anything to backstab again" Cat Noir sharpens his claws in the brick wall to be prepared, "This cat has nine lives while he does not" He pole vaults to the roof for her to think about it.

"Yes, I will," Sukāretto said.

Lila who turned out to be in her cell and has lost everything due to her envy getting the best of her and was foolish enough to have her arch-rival Marinette akumatized just for Monarch to use her to plan this but instead, it backfired. If only she had not made Marinette more miserable to turn her anxiety into hatred and then into a raving monster. Everyone in Paris now believes she was the cause of this, not Marinette and not Monarch, her and only her.

"Lie-la" A familiar voice creeped her out when she saw Princess Justice who used Voyage to teleport here, "If only had known better like a real true person to stay out of trouble but looks like you yourself into the trouble" She chuckled darkly.

"What do you want from me?" Lila asked.

"You think I'm through with you, Lila? I'm going to return the favor for what you've done to my life!" Princess Justice said.

"You already exposed me thanks to you! I had a perfect life until it's gone!" Lila yelled.

"A perfect life by taking every credit from all the people who have done real things in life? Face it, Lila. Nothing will ever be enough for you because you don't know the meaning of living a real life while you were living a fake life that never existed as a real thing for you" Princess Justice glared at making her accept the hard truth.

"Are you gonna kill me?" Lila asked, a little scared.

"Murdering is not my style but punishment is what I do. You think pretending with disguises will make everyone love the fake you while you're not aware of how much you're destroying your well-being by lying?" Princess Justice growled and approached Lila menacingly.

"Don't get any closer!" Lila got even more scared.

"Oh, so now you don't like when I do that the same way you cornered me in the bathroom? How does it feel to be in my place of misery, Lila? It's tables turned and yet you don't see yourself as a monster" Princess Justice teaching her what it's like to be tormented.

"Just how are you able to resist his control?" Lila asked.

"Let's say I overrode his control," Princess Justice said.

"Monarch is on my list who has done a lot of injustice. You, however, should've taken Ladybug's advice as well as Adrien's. Advice is about improving and helping lives, not to cause harm. Adrien tried so hard to help you change but all you do is constantly lie instead of being honest with yourself which is very unattractive of you to do which is foolish for anyone to see how dumb you are to lie. He was hurt to think how wrong he was when you hurt me a lot. Hurting me also hurts him more to see me miserable" Princess Justice teaches her what pain is like when she causes damage with lies.

"I don't care who I hurt, Dupain Cheng. Lying is what I do to have a better life than waiting years to gain attention from anyone" Lila smirked.

"Oh, really? No one is ever gonna trust you ever again. The world already saw what you are. The real you without that wig or whatever you wear to hide the real you. The real you is a fraud, a con, a narcissist, and a pathological liar. Doing bad things, including one of your 7 deadly sins, has no place in being a good person. You can ignore your actions all you want but consequences can still find you" Princess Justice cackled evilly.

"You'll never live a normal life again even if you got de-evilized," Lila said.

"I don't care. My old life was destroyed by you. If you had not made my life miserable, you wouldn't be in jail but here you are. Speaking of evil, I want the truth" Princess Justice zapped her from her tiara, "Did you truly love Adrien?"

"No, I......agh.....I wanted him as my property!" Lila was forced to confess.

"Did you willingly get akumatized or not?" Princess Justice asked.

"Willingly!" Lila confessed.

"Just what I thought. Cat Noir and Ladybug told me how you distracted him so he couldn't help Ladybug" Princess Justice said.

"Agh! Stop it!" Lila feels her chest on fire.

"Since you were willing to get akumatized, did you support Hawk Moth as a friend to gain his trust?" Princess Justice asked.

"I did!" Lila groaned in pain, falling to the floor.

"How does it feel? The pain I've gone through?!" Princess Justice yelled.

Unfortunately, Lila couldn't answer that since she's already been through enough, and for that, she created a bigger monster for herself.

"What was that? I can't quite hear you" Princess Justice leans in.

"I....made you.....agh.....a monster!" Lila admitted.

"Me a monster? No, I am a goddess" Princess Justice said.

"Right now you're in my world now. I've been tormented long enough in your world of shit!" Princess Justice creates a Voyage to leave.

-

Kagami explained to Felix what had happened to Adrien's girlfriend and because of Lila getting more miserable with her friends who turned against her by believing Lila over her, things were not looking good at all. Felix did remember a bit of Lila on that train in Adrien disguise but he didn't know she was a pathological liar and his cousin did nothing to either report her or tell his father to remove her from modeling.

"Uhhh......Actually, I met her once on the train in Adrien disguise. She thought I was him but I thought she was a female model with him. So, she really is a psycho liar to cause Marinette into a monster?" Felix trying to get this straight since he doesn't know much of Adrien's life in Paris but he knows he loves Marinette.

"Yes. And this time she turned everyone against her once again. She lied that she met you, the queen of England, and saw the Flying Scotsman in London" Kagami said.

"I can confirm that the Flying Scotsman was never in London and I never met her. But even though the harm I caused the last time was bad with my senti, Lila's actions are way unforgivable and cold" Felix said.

"The bigger problem is that Princess Justice is targeting those who did her wrong, that includes you, your uncle, Lila, and even Chloe" Kagami said.

"I'm more than willing to forgive for my crimes, but I'm ready to know that it's gonna take a while to earn my trust again and be forgiven. I had a reason for it but keeping it away was a cowardly move by me by stealing all the miraculous to Monarch" Felix said with regret.

"And you wasted so much time by doing nothing. If you knew the identity of Monarch, you could've told Ladybug and Cat Noir but you didn't. Cat Noir may be right to not trust you again but it's not too late to do the right thing. It's already too late for Lila to change because she wasted her chances for Adrien" Kagami glared at him.

"I know. I screwed up everything. Even if it means to sacrifice my life" Felix said.

"I understand your childhood trauma story and it left you mental scars by what your cold-hearted father did to you. But it's the same parent issues I'm going through the same way with Adrien's father. You can't control everyone's decisions, Felix" Kagami said.

A voyage portal opened and Princess Justice came through, "Ah, the fake Adrien. Still, enjoy pretending to be my prince again? Like that night at the Diamond Dance for playing my feelings?!" Princess Justice held her sword near his neck.

"Whoa! Whoa! I can still see you remember it but that was two weeks ago!" Felix cowardly backs away.

"Two weeks is short long ago and I won't let you go unpunished, Felix! How much metaphorical blood is on your hands, coward?" Princess Justice is still angry at the betrayal he did to Ladybug and Cat Noir, including his cousin for manipulating him to switch places that day.

In one swift move, Princess Justice grabs him by the throat, removing the brooch at the same time.

"I'm afraid you won't be spreading your wings ever again!" Princess Justice squeezed his throat.

Kagami kicked her to release Felix and dropped the brooch, "Marinette, this isn't you! The Akuma is feeding on your anger!"

Felix picks up the brooch and puts it back on, "Duusu, spread my feathers!" He transformed into Argos, "I get it, you're angry at me for pretending to be your boyfriend but I'm not your enemy!"

"You can't escape your actions, bird!" Princess Justice zaps him for the truth, "Felix why did you...argh!" She got kicked by Kagami again.

"......give me flowers 3 days ago?" Kagami finished the sentence for Felix to compel the truth.

"That was as a gift after I saved you," Argos said.

"But you will explain your betrayal for the heroes! Why did you betray them for Monarch?!" Princess Justice then forces him to tell the truth.

"I....needed....." Argos tried to fight it from revealing his dark truth.

"A life savior!" Cat Noir tackled Argos into the Seine River to prevent him from revealing the dark truth to her and Monarch through her.

"No!" Princess Justice screamed.

Both swam as fast as they can so that Princess Justice doesn't catch up to see them resurface. She waited for them to surface but it never happened as if Cat Noir gave his half staff for Argos to breathe underwater.

"Grrrr!!!! I will find you, brat!" Princess Justice jumps to the roof.

"She's heading for the mansion!" Cat Noir pokes his head out.

"She's really pissed off" Argos gets out of the water.

"No shit, birdbrain" Cat Noir shakes water off his hair at Argos, for payback.

"Agh!" He moved out of the way, "Where's Kagami?" Argos asked.

"Safe for now" Cat Noir said before snatching his fan before he tried to use a feather to create an amok, "Give me one reason why I should trust a turkey bird like you. Cats eat birds" Cat Noir waved the fan while waiting for an answer and dealt with his stress by amusing himself.

"Because with the trade, I created a monster and now he made an even greater threat with Lila," Argos said.

"You got a long way for forgiveness, bird boy. My princess nearly got me killed during the previous fights. Plus, I still remember your old friend Flairmidable who played fetch too much with Shadow Moth to earn his dog treat" Cat Noir hissed loudly to startle him.

"I had no choice. He threatened me" Argos said.

"Threatened you? You tried to sell me and Milady the beginning we first met. I saved your life from the Collector. Then you pretended to be Adrien which you fooled Ladybug when she gave you the dog miraculous. Then foolishly transformed in front of the people when everyone thought you were Adrien. You nearly could've gotten him arrested!" Cat Noir letting out all his anger, "You're a coward, Felix. Unlike Lila, you don't wear wigs but use Adrien's clothes to impersonate him. You think disguises are for fun?!"

"No!" Argos replied.

"As punishment, you will never steal anyone's identity ever again!" Cat Noir held his claws dangerously close to Argos' face.

"Whoa, whoa! You're a superhero with moral codes! You do know Marinette wouldn't like this!" Argos yelped to think he'd get scratched.

"I am but cats are very protective and extremely territorial about what belongs to them!" Cat Noir was gonna give him a claw mark on his face until a yo-yo snatched his wrist to move his hand away from Argos.

"Enough! Both of you!" Sukāretto yelled.

"Ladybug?" Argos turned.

"No, Sukāretto. Right now, we have no time to argue and we must get to the mansion at once!" She said.

"Fine" Cat Noir hands the fan back to him, "If you ever try to fool us again, I'll kill you for her" Cat Noir jumps to the roof to head to the mansion.

-

At the mansion, Princess Justice broke down the door using the tiger's miraculous powers.

"I know how to get you out of hiding" Princess Justice used the fox miraculous to create an illusion of herself using the illusion of Adrien as a hostage while she herself is hiding through the mirage effect from the inside while the outside is like no one can see the real her.

"Come out wherever you are," She said creepily.

It took Gabriel and Nathalie 20 seconds to come into the lobby when they heard the noise of an explosion. The illusions did the act for them to cooperate or watch Adrien die.

"Adrien!" Nathalie exclaimed.

"So, what does my precious prince mean to you, Gabriel? A trophy? A puppet? Better yet, you just don't see how much he needed his father's attention and approval while you just treat him as if he's not enough for you anymore!" The illusion held illusion Adrien tightly to break his bone.

"Agh! Please, father! Why do you not love me like Mother loved me?!" Adrien sobs.

"Hmm....I wonder. Is it because you care more about your brand than your son? Or is it your ego? Very bad parenting to control his life" Illusion of Princess Justice grips him hard.

"It's not just about it. I can't raise him as a single parent" Gabriel wasn't honest.

"Oh really? You're more of a slave owner than a father" The illusion of Princess Justice said.

"How could you not see me growing up, father? All you do is pressure me whenever I'm not good enough to be perfect" Illusion Adrien said.

"Princess, that's enough!" Sukāretto threw her yo-yo only for the illusions to disappear and the real one to come out of hiding.

"No!" Princess Justice screamed.

Cat Noir drags Gabriel into the office while Argos does the same with Nathalie.

"You think you could take the mask of the Ladybug?! I'll destroy you!" Princess Justice drew her sword.

"Lucky charm!" Sukāretto summoned a lucky charm sword to block it, "Destroying people is not justice!"

"Everyone in Paris was under Lila's toxic spell! Far too long until it went from worse to a major disaster! No one ever justifies it!" Princess Justice pushed her against the wall, "You think it's okay for people like her to play with everyone's feelings?!"

"No! It was the biggest mistake to listen to her lies!" Sukāretto blocks her attacks.

"I tried so hard for my friends to believe me but all they say to me is that I'm just overreacting! Alya assumes I was jealous of Lila getting close to my sweet Adrien! Adrien never experienced bullies or liars all his life! You have no idea what that's like for someone to manipulate you!" Princess Justice yelled.

"You're out of control and you're hurt them too with severe punishments! Mistakes happen all the time!" Sukāretto tried to reason with her.

"Lila never acknowledged hers! Neither does Chloe! And neither does Gabriel Agreste who doesn't support Adrien's flaws! Mistakes never mean anything to them! And my mistake was to make Lila my enemy the day I could see through her lies until she tried to manipulate everyone to get rid of me for her! Just like she tried to manipulate Kagami to get rid of me for her!" Princess Justice whacks her through the wall of the dining room, crashing into the chairs.

"What will you have after getting revenge on everyone you hated?! NOTHING!" Sukāretto picks her sword up.

"You're wrong! I will have My happily ever after with Adrien! I'll make sure his life is not controlled by that father of his who does nothing but order him around like a puppet!" Princess Justice used voyage on her to teleport her to the Eiffel Tower, "And stay out of my way!"
