We continue right where we left off.  All the heroes gazing in absolute horror at the sight of this newly formed Pitch Black.  Even Hawkmoth is horrified as well.  "Oh man.  Did you just see... what I see?"  Bunnix asked.  "What?  The fact that he ATE ALMOST EVERY CITIZEN IN PARIS?!"  Caprikid asked back horrified.  Soon, Pitch roars, as he sends his fist down onto the heroes.  They dodge it.  "Ok, we can hold onto our fears later.  We need to find his akuma, and end this monster."  Ladybug said.  "And why should we trust you, after what he said?"  Pegasus asked.  "Really?  Now?!"  Ladybug asked back.  "Uhh, ok fair point.  Fine.  Villain first, then you better explain."  Pegasus replied.  "Agreed.  Team Miraculous... let's end this."  Ladybug said.  Viperion uses Second Chance, so they have thr advantage. Thus the fight commences. We start off with some Treacherous Trio action.  Ryuko running up the one of eight arms for this monster, as Queen Bee and Cat Noir handle the tentacles that swarm them from the shadows. They fight with all their might, but Ryuko gets sucker punched away, and Cat and Queen get grabbed by the tentacles, and thrown into Ryuko. That's when Pigella comes in. "Hang tight, Jack. Gift." Pigella said, as she uses her powers. She throws her gift at him, but get this. One of his tentacles opens up, and eats it. It doesn't affect him at all. He just eats it like a champ. "Ok, this actually might be more challenging than I thought." Pigella said. Soon, the tentacle uppercuts her as well. Before it can hit her more, Purple Tigress comes in as well. "Clout." Purple Tigress said, as she uses her powers. She punches the tentacle, which soon explodes into a gooey mess. No matter to Pitch. The goo reforms itself back into a tentacle. "He can reform as well? How powerful did Farfalla make this guy?!" Purple Tigress asked. The tentacle then slams on both Pig and Tigress. It grabs them, and slams them on the ground a few more times. That's when King Monkey comes in. He runs on the rooftop, and then jumps, and starts to run on Pitch's arm. Pitch is already a step ahead, as he sends goo spikes to impale this monkey. King Monkey keeps on running, as he jumps, and ducks from the attacks. He even slides under one that nearly takes his head off. Thanks to his staff, he uses it to launch himself into the air. "Uproar." King Monkey said, as he uses his powers. He throws a rubber banana at the beast, but like the Gift, one of his tentacles eats it. "Well, bananas." King Monkey said. Then, a tentacle grabs around his next, and starts to strangle him. Making his head as blue as a blueberry. Pegasus thankfully comes in to help. "Voyage." Pegasus said, as he uses his powers. He jumps through his portal, and flies his way into the fight. He uses his boomerang to hit Pitch in the face from within the fog. It makes him drop King Monkey, and Pegasus saves him. "[coughs]. Thanks bro." King Monkey said. It doesn't go so well because Pitch grabs them with his hand, and crushes them in a split second. He drops them both on the ground. "Crap! That can't be good." Rooster Bold said. "Have no fear. I got this. Genesis." Caprikid said, as he uses his powers. He heals King Monkey from all his damages. "Hey! I feel better now." King Monkey said. "Also hey! What about me?" Pegasus asked. "Well, I can only use my powers on one person, so... sorry dude." Caprikid replied. "God, I really wish we were at stage two right now." Pegasus said. That's when Pitch screams, and then he sends a swarm of his tentacles at the three heroes. Good thing Carapace comes in. "Shelter." Carapace said, as he uses his powers. He activates his spiked shield, which protects them from the tentacles. As they are distracted, Ryuko comes back in with Cat Noir and Queen Bee. "Ok trio, let's show him what we got." Cat Noir said. "With great honor. Lightening Dragon." Ryuko replied, as she uses her powers. She turns into a massive electric Ryuko. Once in form, she punches Pitch in the face. He sends two of his skulled/goo arms at Ryuko, but she grabs them both. Slightly shocking this demon. However, he as extras. He sends two other ones into her sides. It makes Ryuko get unbalanced, and then, Pitch uppercuts her. Sending her to fall to the ground. Good thing Cat Noir comes in. "Cataclysm." Cat Noir said, as he uses his powers. He slams it on the ground, which makes Pitch shake, and lose balance as well. As does the other heroes. Once he's distracted, Queen Bee jumps at him. "Let's see if this stings! Venom!" Queen Bee said, as she uses her powers. She skyrockets down at Pitch Black, but yet another tentacle grabs her legs. It makes Pitch laugh, and soon, another tentacle eats her top. It makes Queen Bee gulp, as the tentacle slams her hard onto the ground. "QUEEN BEE!!!" Cat Noir yelled. He runs after her, but Cat Noir gets punches by the giant fist. He is sent flying into Viperion. "Ahh. Ok, you need to go back in time. We can't risk losing more heroes." Cat Noir said. "Ok. Second..." Viperion replied, before he's interrupted when a tentacle wraps around him. In a truly dark moment, the tentacle eats Viperion. It goblets him up, until he is not there anymore. "Did... did that just eat him?! DID THAT JUST EAT VIPERION?!" Bunnix yelled. Pitch then roars again, as it sends down a tentacle at Bunnix. Polymouse stand in her way. "Multitude." Polymouse said, as she uses her powers. She forms into a giant fist, that grabs Pitch's fist. It holds onto it tight, as it gives a chance for Bunnix to act. "Hurry! Go back in time! Save Viperion!" Queen Bee begged. "This isn't one worthy og going back in time. No offense. Ladybug will bring him back with her lucky charm. Which, hey Ladybug! Summon your lucky charm!" Bunnix yelled. "Gladly. That feels weird, but now's not the time. Lucky charm." Ladybug said, as she uses her powers. Her lucky charm forms a goodbye letter. "A letter? A letter is our last hope?!" Bunnix asked horrified. "All her lucky charms are weird, but they also are our last hope." Rena Rouge replied. "Exactly. Quickly. Back me up, so I can think." Ladybug said. "Ok. Mirage." Rena Rouge replied, as she uses her powers. She makes a mirage of Ladybug, herself, and Bunnix. They go in, as the real three head out. "I'm going to save you Luka. I swear on it." Queen Bee said, as she charges in to save her love. Soon, the Polymouse hands breaks, and she reforms. Just in time for Pitch to slam his fist onto her. "No!!! Resistance." Minotaurox said, as he uses his powers. Now with his shield on, he is safe when another fist slams him as well. It ends up making him get so much damage, that he becomes invincible. "For once, I'm glad someone hit me." Minotaurox said. He charges into battle, where a swarm of tentacles come in. He punches them, and makes them explode into more of a goo filled mess. He then charges right into the monster, and sucker punches him so hard, even the wind blows back from it. Soon, Minotaurox pulls back, but his hand is stuck. He tries with all his new might, but he can't get free. Pitch laughs, and like Viperion, he eats Minotaurox as well. Horrifying the heroes. That's when Rooser Bold and Miss Hound come into play. "Sublimation." Rooster Bold said, as he uses his powers to get super strength. As for Miss Hound, she throws her ball, that hits a lamppost, a car, a truck, and a building. "Ready?" Miss Hound asked. "Do it." Rooster Bold replied. "Fetch." Miss Hound said, as she uses her powers. The ball grabs all the items one at a time. So it gives Rooster Bold enough time to grab each other, and chuck it at Pitch Black. One after another, he throws them all. He even lifts the building thanks to his power upgrade. And with all his strength, he chucks it right into Pitch's body. Yet, he survives all of it. "Are you kidding me?! That didn't hurt him?!" Rooster Bold asked. Pitch then screams, and unleashes another brutal attack. Where each hero, minus LB, RR, MX, VPand BX, get beaten the life out of. Whether they get punched or slammed by the one of eight fist, or the tentacles whacking them until they are down. Soon, all of them are on the ground in pain. It doesn't stop Cat Noir, who still runs into fight. That's when once of the fist scratches him so hard, he groans, and falls to the ground.

    Pitch then laughs, as he sees all the heroes defeated. As for Hawkmoth, he stands there completely disgusted, and shaking at what's happening. "I... I can't believe it. He did it. He's going to win. But... but he ended up eating two of the heroes along with it." Hawkmoth said. "HE DID WHAT NOW?!" Duusu asked. "He told me, give me back my Pitch powers, but also upgrade them to where I can use my entire body plus powers in any creative way I want. And I guess this is what he wants." Hawkmoth replied. "And your totally ok with that?!" Duusu asked shocked. "I... I... I don't know. I'm not sure what I should even do. I want to stop him, but he is close to getting me what I want. But if he succeeds, then I'll be response for killing two, if not all of these kids." Hawkmoth replied. "Says the man who had no big deal if Ladybug died!" Duusu yelled. "That was back then. Now, just seeing it, I feel disgusted, and horrified, but I still am not sure what I should do." Hawkmoth replied panicking.  Pitch keeps on laughing, before he gets cut off.  "HEY JACK!!!  [Pitch Black looks down, and sees Ladybug alongside Rena and Bunnix].  I'm the one you want right?  Well, here I am.  Now, I can definitely guess your going to attack me in some sort of way, but if you let me explain."  Ladybug said.  Soon, Pitch sends his tentacles to grab about the necks of the three female heroes.  He lifts them up, as well as the others that he grabs.  He then makes Ladybug watch, as the tentacles eat her own team, plus Cat Noir.  One by one.  They scream, grunt, even cry out of horror, but that doesn't make Pitch Black stop.  He eats them all whole.  Ladybug is filled with horror, before she realizes she is all alone.  Even Hawkmoth is horrified.  "What happened now?"  Duusu asked.  "He... he ate them all, except Ladybug."  Hawkmoth replied, as he then falls to his knees in shame.  Both of them are horrified.  As is Ladybug, who is getting strangled.  "Pl... ease.  Let me... talk."  Ladybug begged with every breathe she can take.  Pitch doesn't care of course.  He then giggles a bit, and then laughs out loud when he sends some of his tentacles around Ladybug's limbs.  He pulls on them hard, which makes Ladybug scream despite her being choked.  "Master, please!  You need to stop this!"  Duusu begged.  "But... but I still don't know what to do.  This is the closest I've ever gotten to get those miraculous.  And now, I'm not celebrating.  I'm now horrified.  But this can still help me win, but with a fatal price to it."  Hawkmoth replied.  "ENOUGH!!!  Hawkmoth, listen to me.  You need to understand there is no perfect solution to anything we do here.  If you win, there will be lives at stake.  If you lose, then you will have to continue down this madness.  And even if you get the wish... someone else will have to replace Emilie.  That's just how it is.  No matter what, ever positive comes a negative.  I'm sorry.  That's the way it is.  But there is a better solution, despite the negatives that come with it.  And that is of course, ending this once and for all.  Stop being the villain.  End being Hawkmoth, and end Farfalla.  I know it will mean you will never see Emilie again, but if you really meant what you said, then you do know a positive came with it.  Your making your son happy. And I believe he must be very happy to have his Dad back." Duusu said. Hawkmoth goes into silence for a moment, as he remembers all the good moments he had with his kid. The teacher event, the dinner, the talks, the pancakes, all of it. It gives Gabriel a massive revelation on what choice is the best choice. Being the best Dad he can be, despite losing his wife. "Your... your right. [stands up]. I now know what I must do. Pitch Black... I remove your powers right you." Hawkmoth said, as he snaps his fingers. Back at the battle, Ladybug is nearly dead, but before she goes, Pitch Black starts to turn back in Jack. He reforms on the ground, as Ladybug falls to it. Once Pitch is gone, the sun shines up. It blinds them both. Ladybug, despite her pain, gets up. As Jack sees her, he gets mad. "Well isn't this wonderful." Jack said, as he gets up, and walks away. Ladybug then gets up, and sees Jack go. Before she can go chase after him, she sees her lucky charm on the ground. "Oh thank heavens! Miraculous Ladybug." Ladybug said, as she uses her powers. Once her powers have been called upon, it brings everyone back to life. Including the heroes. They all can't believe it. "We... we're alive. WE'RE ALIVE!!!" Bunnix yelled. The others all smile, and hug in joy, as they see they aren't dead. Well, except Cat Noir. He sees his Lady, and walks up to her. "So, Ladybug, is what Pitch said true? Did you really take the Peacock miraculous away from Blue Bird?" Cat Noir asked. Ladybug, now back to feeling guilty, answers. "[sighs]. Yes. I did it, and it ended up in Farfalla's hands. [Cat Noir gasp, as the others hear as well]. When he started making sentis around Sunken Love or Gorizilla, he kept on doing it over, and over, and over again. I didn't like it one bit. It took away my part entirely in the missions. It... it made me feel useless. Pointless. As if I wasn't important to it at all. My ego got the better of me again, and I did something horrible. Even more horrible than what I was going to do to you Cat Noir. I'm really sorry guys. And... and I guess that made Jack really mad, so that's why he got akumatized. Apparently on the day he was leaving today. I hurt not only Blue, but someone else as well." Ladybug said, as she leaves. "Wait, where are you going?" Cat Noir asked. "Please, Cat. I need some space to make up for my actions. As well as apologize for what I did." Ladybug replied, as she leaves. The heroes watch her leave. "So, should we punch her in the face, or just quit?" Ryuko asked. "Don't. You wouldn't want to lose your kwami after all. Ladybug may do dumb things, but in the end, when she sees her errors, she will do what needs to be done to make it up." Cat Noir replied.

    Ladybug then finds Jack in an alleyway, sitting in sorrow. "Oh great. You. Let me guess, here to mock me for taking your spotlight?" Jack asked. "First of all, why did you lie? I know you can't remember what happened after you get de-evilized, but you definitely lied." Ladybug asked back. "If I did, then the answer is simple. I'm not exposing my identity when if I don't have Duusu. Plus, feel lucky I'm not a snitch." Jack replied. "Ok. Well listen. I...I came to apologize for what I did. I really was nothing, but a selfish freak, who was so obsessed with being seen as the star, than being a good supporting hero. Guess getting caught up in this fame, made me want everyone to see me as a star of the show. That's no excuse for what I did. What I did was all on me, and me only ok? [Jack gives her an anger look]. I know you probably won't forgive me, but just listen to what I have to say. I will do what it takes to get my ego in check, and stop being such an attention seeker. I promise. And when I get Duusu back, I do what's truly for the greater good. I'll give her back to you, and let you... keep her." Ladybug said. "Are you for real, or are you buttering me up?" Jack asked. "On my miraculous, I will give her to you." Ladybug replied. Jack then gasp, as Ladybug truly means it. "Wow! [gets a little emotional, and then hugs her]. Thank you, Ladybug. You may have a lot to learn, but at least you take ownership of your flaws." Jack said. Ladybug smiles, and hugs Jack back as well. "Don't worry. I'll keep both my words just for you." Ladybug said.

    Back at Gabe's house, he is with Lila, and his kwamis. "So you were hidden in the sewers, while all this was going on?" Gabriel asked. "Yes. And I guess Pitch failed in the end. Not sure how. He was your most powerful villain yet. Guess that means we are done here." Lila replied. "No." Gabriel said. "We aren't done?" Lila asked. "No, Pitch didn't lose because of the heroes. He lost because of me." Gabriel replied. "Excuse me?" Lila asked. "I took away his powers, before he could get the Ladybug miraculous. I was very, very close to winning, and seeing your nemesis die, but I made the right choice. I choose to do what's best despite the negatives. And that is putting an end to my villainy. No matter if I'll never see Emilie again." Gabriel replied. "So you basically made yourself lose when we had a good deal? That's not fair at all!!!" Lila yelled. "I don't care! For too long I've been begging the question on what to do. Quit, or continue. But the negatives of my actions kept holding me back. Well today, they will not chain me anymore. We are done. I'm no longer being this supervillain. And Nooroo and Duusu will finally be free from me. The only thing I want now, is to make up for all I've done. And... for Adrien to continue to have the good Father he needs." Gabriel replied. "So, can I keep Nooroo then?" Lila asked. "Absolutely not." Gabriel replied. "What?! Why?!" Lila asked in shock. "First of all, YOUR A LIAR!!! I know you've been lying to me ever since you came to work for me. The whole, Marinette, Chloe, Kagami are bad thing. No, I wasn't manipulating you, rather, just playing along with your game. Second of all, I did eventually grew to trust you, but considering how manipulative you can be, plus your undying vendetta to kill Ladybug, no way I'm giving you Nooroo permeantly. Listen, Lila. I think your a good girl even if you lie, but I simply cannot trust you enough to hold onto him. I'm sorry. That's the way things have to be. Enjoy the rest of your night." Gabriel replied. "But... sir." Lila begged. "I said, enjoy the rest of your night." Gabriel replied. Lila doesn't say a word after that. She frowns, and walks out. Before she goes, she gives Nooroo one last look. "I love you, Nooroo." Lila said. "[gets emotional]. I love you too, Lila." Nooroo replied. Lila then starts crying, and runs out of Gabriel's house. Now back to being all alone again.

    Back at the park, Jack and the others are partying again. It's nighttime, and Jack as a much cooler behavior here. Soon, Jack gets a text on his phone. It's from his driver saying he's here. Jack looks, and sees his car. He sighs, but knows what must be done. "Hey, Nino! Turn that off for a sec!" Jack yelled. Nino turns it off. Jack then grabs a mic, and presses it to get a good beat. "Ok, guys. Unfortunately, the time has come. It's time for me to go home back to Chicago. Yes, it's now, and I'm not a fan of it. [looks at car, and his friends. He proceeds to get emotional]. Listen, I never really open this side of me up much. It's a rare side people can see from me. One that even I'm a little scared to admit. But, since it is my last day, I'm going to make it count. [deep breath]. You all have been the most awesome, fun, energetic friends... I think I've ever meet. Sure, we did have some bad moments, but at the end of the day, I grew to love you all as a second family. One that I'm... not ready to let ho. You all just look so nice, and you all accept me for the person I want to be seen as. Even if I still have some anger issues. What I'm trying to say is, [cries] I'm going to miss you guys more than anything in my life. But then again, I'm never going to forget any of you going forward. So, thank you guys. Thank you, for the adventures, the fun, and everything." Jack said. Everyone is in shock, after what Jack said. They stay silent, as Jack sheds some more tears. Soon, Adrien walks up to Jack, looks at him, then hugs Jack. "We'll never forget you, Jack. No matter what happens in the future." Adrien said. Jack then sheds more tears, and hugs Adrien. The others join in as well, and hug him. Jack keeps on crying, as the others comfort Jack. Making him happier than he could ever have asked for.

    The tears continue in the car, as Jack sheds them driving inside his car. He scrolls through past memories of him and the others. Everything from the school dance, to Ferris wheel rides, to other fun adventures out and inside of school. His trip down memory lane gets interrupted when someone calls him. It's Gabriel Agreste himself. "What the?" Jack asked, as he answers. Jack talks with Gabe, before eventually, he hangs up. "Uhh, excuse me. Do you think we can stop at the Agreste manor quickly? It won't take long." Jack asked. "Your private jet leaves in thirty minutes. Make sure it's quick. Your Dad is paying me big time for this." Driver replied. "It shouldn't take long." Jack said. Soon, the car parks outside the gate. Jack gets out, where the gates open up, and Gabriel is standing there waiting for him. "Weird, but you know how to fight." Jack said. He walks inside the house. He is now inside Gabriel's office. "Nice place." Jack said. "Thank you. By the way, Nathalie, my assistant, and Gorilla aren't here. They are picking up Adrien from your little party." Gabriel replied. "So it's just us?" Jack asked. "Yes. Perfect for what I called you here." Gabriel replied. "Not sure why it needs to be just us. All you said was, I need to say goodbye to you as well. Didn't know my friend's Dad was going to miss me as well." Jack said. "That's not why I called you." Gabriel replied. "Uhh, what was that last part?" Jack asked. "Jack, what I'm about to show you is going to change your world forever, but despite that, I just want you to know I'm not going to do anything bad to you. Ok?" Gabriel asked back. "I can fight, and probably can kick your butt right now. But go ahead. Try to shock me." Jack replied. "Fine. Nooroo, Duusu, come out." Gabriel said, as both his kwamis fly out. The second Jack sees them, he gasp in shock. "Duusu? Is that... is that really you?" Jack asked, as he gets emotional. "[cries]. Your not dreaming, hatchling. It's me." Duusu replied. Soon, Duusu flies over to a crying Jack, and both of them hug. They both cry tears of joy. Thinking they were never going to see each other again. "I'm so glad to see your ok. Wait a minute. Why do you have her? The last time I saw, she was taken by Far... hang on. [sees Nooroo, and realizes it]. No flipping way!!! Gabriel, are you trying to tell me your... SHADOWMOTH?!" Jack asked in horror. "Yes. Yes I am. But before you freak out, let me explain." Gabriel replied. "Oh I don't need an explanation. I need to take your butt down now!" Jack yelled, as he walks over to Gabe. "No. Wait. Jack, you don't get it. HE WANTS TO GIVE NOOROO AND I TO YOU!!!" Duusu yelled. "[nearly punches Gabe]. What?" Jack asked. "That's why he called you. To give Nooroo and I to you. To keep." Duusu replied. "Is this a joke, or are you legit?" Jack asked. "She's right. Just, back up first. [Jack, still skeptical, backs up]. Second, she isn't lying. [takes off both brooches]. I'm giving these to you. To keep." Gabriel replied. "Ok. And why should I believe that?" Jack asked. "Because as your kwami, I mean it. It may sound mad, but he really means it. He is giving us to you to keep." Duusu replied. "On all the blueberry muffins in the world, he is giving them to me?" Jack asked. "Yes." Duusu replied. Jack goes into shock that she said that. "Wait, you said yes?" Jack asked. "Yep." Duuus replied. "Oh... oh my God! You do mean it. [looks at Gabe]. Your really going to give me Nooroo and Duusu." Jack said. "Yes. And here are your new jewels. Take good care of them." Gabriel replied. Jack cannot believe his own eyes. Not only will he get Duusu back, but Nooroo as well. Jack walks over, and grabs them both. "What will Ladybug say to this?" Jack asked. "She won't. As long as she doesn't know, and as long as she thinks Farfalla and I are gone, we won't have anything to worry about." Gabriel replied. Jack looks at the brooches, and takes it all in. He then puts them on his chest, and smiles in more joy than ever. "Thank you so much, Gabriel. I promise, I'll take awesome care of them both. [looks at, and hugs Duusu]. Ohh, Duusu." Jack said. "Aww." Nooroo replied. After they are done hugging, Jack smiles at them both. He goes to leave, as Gabriel smiles as well. He steps back in front of his computer, as Jack goes for the door. "[stops]. Say, Gabriel. Do you think you can promise me something as well?" Jack asked. "Of course. What is..." Gabriel asked back, before he gets interrupted when a bullet goes right his head. The sound of Gabe falling to the ground adds more shock to Jack holding a gun in his right hand. Not saying a word, he walks over to the dead corpse, and crouches in front of it. He puts on gloves, and then uses some wet wipes to clean off his finger prints on the gun. Then, he places the loaded gun into Gabriel's hand, making sure his finger prints are on it, and then, leaves a note inside his jacket as well. Once done, Jack takes off both gloves. Nooroo and Duusu are both obviously horrified at what just happened. "Jack... what did... WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Duusu yelled. "Ohh, Duusu. I just had to do one last thing, before I can finally go home." Jack replied. "Wh... what?" Duusu asked. Soon, Jack stands up, and towers both the kwamis. He then reaches behind his back, and pulls something out. When Nooroo and Duusu see it, they both gasp in absolute terror. Jack then puts the item on his face. "Long time no see, Nooroo and Duusu." Jack said, with the Essence mask on his face. Jack then slowly starts laughing in a maniacal way, as the mask makes him sound darker than before. Nooroo and Duusu are speechless, as they can't help but ask, what the heck just happened?
