Condestructor slams his wrecking at the heroes. They all dodge it, as Cat Noir extends his staff, and uses it to bash Condestructor in the face. As he screams in pain, Ladybug goes to wrap him, only for Blue Bird to dash past her on Saucer. The bird sentimonster pecks into Condestructor's eyes. Now blinded, the bird flies directly over the villain. Then, it poops out a giant eye, that doesn't crack on impact, but shatters the helmet of Condestructor. It also hurts the villain. The megakaum flies free, so Ladybug let's Condestructor go, to capture it. Fred turned back to normal, and Saucer grabs him, and helps him down. "Are you ok, sir?" Blue Bird asked. "What even happened?" Fred asked back. "Akumatized. No worries. My senti and I took care of the situation. As well as my dear allies Cat and Ladybug of course." Blue Bird replied. "Yeah yeah, Blue Bird. Anyway, here is another magical charm. I get I can't exactly make one to block the megakumas, but I know I will one day." Ladybug said. Then all of the sudden, Bunnix pops out of a portal. "There! Did I do it? Did something new happen?" Bunnix asked excited. "Uhhh, no. We all I saw was a rabbit coming out of it's burrow. You get what I mean." Blue Bird replied. "Dang it! I was hoping I could see something new." Bunnix said. "Maybe next time, Bunnix. Maybe next time." Cat Noir replied. Next time, TechnoDrome returns. He blast his heavy music, and laughs at all the chaos. The heroes: Ladybug, Cat Noir, Blue Bird, and Bunnix all watch him. "Ok, what's the game plan?" Cat Noir asked. "I don't know about you, but I'm going into the burrow, to see if I can get a power upgrade. Burrow." Bunnix replied, as she uses her powers, and leaves. "Umm, is it safe for her to do that?" Blue Bird asked. "Only if she doesn't change something in the past. That would led to a deadly consequence, which I don't want anymore of. It seems we might be at peace, once Farfalla is gone." Ladybug replied. "Then what are we waiting for?" Blue Bird asked. He uses his fan, and brings back hid buddy Glitch. "Ok, Glitch. Go show TechnoDrome how viral us heroes are." Blue Bird ordered. The senti obeys, and dashes to the villain. TechnoDrome spots the sentimonster, and starts blasting at him. Glitch dodges the attacks, before he rams into TechnoDrome. Bashing him into a car. Once done, he goes inside of the villain. TechnoDrome's electronic suit begins to malfunction. He volts, and shakes, until in the end, the villain is fried. Laying on the ground, after a rough attack. The heroes all stand in front of him, as Blue Bird breaks his chain to get the megakuma. Ladybug captures it, and XY comes back. "Great job, Glitch. I'll see you next time." Blue Bird said, as he snaps his fingers. "I must say, you and your sentimonsters have been doing a really good job lately." Cat Noir said. "What can I say? I never really have gotten a change to use my powers that often. So, I figured why not do it more nowadays." Blue Bird replied. "But what matters is that my plans go accordingly, and end things with no chaos." Ladybug said. "Relax, Ladybug. I didn't mean to insult you." Blue Bird replied. "It's fine. It's all fine." Ladybug said. Then, Bunnix jumps out her burrow. "There! I had to have done something so awesome." Bunnix said. "Nope." Blue Bird replied. "Dang it!!!" Bunnix yelled.
Some time later, all the heroes are at there warehouse. Blue Bird ends up getting sucker punched right into the wall. He falls to the ground hard. "And the winner is, Purple Tigress." Su Han announced. Everyone cheers for her, as Ladybug and Cat Noir watch by Su Han's side. Blue Bird gets up like a champ, and walks over to the others. "Hey! I'm going to get you next time." Blue Bird said. "Ok, birdie. Ok." Purple Tigress replied. "Ok everyone. That's it for the day. Feel free to chat, as I discuss with Ladybug and Cat Noir." Su Han announced. And thus, all the temp heroes chat, as Ladybug and Cat Noir speak with their Grandmaster. "Wow! So your telling me you can fly now? Like a Pegasus in Greek mythology right?" Blue Bird asked. "That's right. But only for a minute or two. Hopefully when I reach my full potential, I can fly for as long as I want." Pegasus said. "Su Han did said you will have infinite use of your powers at your full potential. That will be a blast, since I can make so many people act like monkeys." King Monkey said. "Ohhh, same here. I can spread so much more joy now that my gifts can joy fields, or something." Pigella cheered. "Not going to lie, your joy fields feel like I'm tripping. Not to say that in a mean way. I'm saying it actually feels like I'm tripping." Blue Bird said. "Ok, that was a weird interpretation. Anyway, I can to un-freeze people with a snap of my fingers. Helps me feel more royal." Queen Bee replied. "And I can fetch multiple items at once. Though, Barkk did have to explain it has to be a direct shot on each item. If my ball touches the ground, poof, the bond breaks." Miss Hound said. "Well considering your accuracy, I'm sure that won't be an issue. Anyway, Caprikid can now heal people mentally. Even if the reason why Creative Mind was upset was a simple cat abomination with it's head turned upside down, and crawled out of it's own skin. Seriously, how is that scary?" Blue Bird asked. Once again, all the heroes look at him with confusion. "[sighs]. Why should I even bother?" Blue Bird asked. "But yes. This will make the akumatized victims feel much better once back to normal." Caprikid said. "And I get a boost in all my powers. I'm stronger, faster, and smarter. Can't wait to check out those in battle." Rooster Bold replied. "I'm excited to use Resistance again. I just want to get hit, so I can make them regret it." Minotaurox said. All the heroes keep on talking about power upgrades, power upgrades, and even more power upgrades. All while Bunnix is forced to watch. She leaves the group, which is noticed by Blue Bird. As she walks away, the bird goes to see what's up. Bunnix sits on a crate, all alone. "What's up, doc?" Blue Bird asked. "Oh, hey, Blue Bird." Bunnix replied. "Well, you didn't seem to happy with us back there. What's up with that?" Blue Bird asked. "Oh, it's just... I'm tired." Bunnix replied. "You know I've been with you in battle a few times recently. And I've noticed you still haven't gotten to your power upgrade yet." Blue Bird said. "I haven't, but I know I will one day. Not an issue with that." Bunnix replied. "Of course you will. Listen, if you feel like you need to talk about something, don't hesitate to ask me." Blue Bird said. He goes to give her some space, as Bunnix looks at him leave. She sits there, and thinks about what he said.
Later that day, Marinette walks down the streets of Paris. All while the nice Spring breeze blows in her face. "Can you believe it's nearly summer time, Marinette?" Tikki asked. "I know. And it's almost time for me to graduate. It's honesty terrifying by how much time has flew by." Marinette replied. "Yeah, and it's a shame you might not see some of your friends again." Tikki said. "False. My entire friends group, minus Jack, and Adrien, are all heroes. So, that's not going to happen." Marinette replied. "I guess. Still, the fact you humans go from a normal school, to a higher one make me questions what comes next after the higher school." Tikki said. "It's just called high school Tikki, and we can talk later. There is Adrien." Marinette replied. Turns out she and Tikki were walking to a restaurant where Adrien is standing outside. "Hey, Marinette." Adrien said. "Good afternoon, Adrien." Marinette replied. Soon, the two head inside, and are always seated at their table. "Thanks again for taking me out to lunch, Adrien. As friends of course." Marinette said. "Oh yeah. Of course, as friends." Adrien replied. "So, what do you normally order at restaurants?" Marinette asked. "Well, this is a bit new to me. I mostly eat at home. It's been that way, since the day I was born." Adrien replied. "Not anymore though." Marinette said. "Yes, and it's such a relief." Adrien replied. Soon, Marinette smiles at how handsome her crush really is. And how majestic his eyes and hair look. "Ummm, mama?" Waiter asked. "[wakes up]. Huh?" Marinette asked back. "Are you ready to order your drink?" Waiter asked back. "Uhh, I'm good with water. Thanks though." Marinette replied. "I'm good with water as well." Adrien said. "Perfect. I'll give you two some time to look at our menu." Waiter replied, as he leaves. Marinette sighs with relief from what just happened. "So, Marinette. Graduation is almost coming. Are you... excited to be leaving?" Adrien asked. "Uhhh, yes. But not in a way where I won't miss you guys. Of course not. We all will stay in contact." Marinette replied. "Oh Thank God, I mean, that's great to hear. I assume your still doing fashion designing?" Adrien asked. "I am. Benn my dream for a long time. What about you? Have you figured out what you want to do in life?" Marinette asked back. "Actually, I do. It did take some time, since the career fair didn't exactly help me out that much. But, that was at the time I was still modeling for my Dad. However, after some time flew by, and some time to think, I actually know what I want to do in life." Adrien replied. "No way! What is it?" Marinette asked. "I just want to make others happy, and help them when they truly need it. Just like how all you guys helped me, and made me feel so much joy. Especially you." Adrien replied. "Woah! So, like a therapist or psychologist for instance?" Marinette asked. "It can be that, or own some charity organizations, and businesses that help people around the world. Either way, all I want is to spread joy in the world." Adrien replied. "Well, I know you will achieve that dream, Adrien." Marinette said. "Thanks, Mari. You always know what to say at the right time." Adrien replied.
As their date goes on, Jack arrives at Marinette's home. He enters the bakery, where Marinette's parents are working. "Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Du-Pain Cheng. Is Marinette here?" Jack asked. "Good afternoon, Jack, and she isn't here." Sabine replied. "Oh, ok. I was just seeing how she is doing. Just as friend, ok?" Jack asked. "Don't worry, we won't joke about that again. But yeah, she apparently is going to lunch with Adrien. Our little girl is finding love, just like you and I, Sabine." Tom replied. "Yes, dear." Sabine said. "Marinette going on a date with Adrien, and she doesn't even need a prep talk with me? Bravo, Marinette. But beside that, I did come for something else." Jack replied. Jack leaves the bakery with a bag of blueberry muffins in his hand. Duusu is very happy, as she eats one. "Well, I guess if Marinette is off dating Adrien, I might as well go home. Got nothing else to do today." Jack said. "Sounds good to me. [finishes muffin]. So tell me, are you ok?" Duusu asked. "Duusu, we been over time a million times, I'm fine." Jack replied. "I just want to be sure, after... you know." Duusu said. "Listen, the only way for me to actually act, like a monster, is if someone were to insult, or hit me. Especially hit me." Jack replied. "About that. I've seen sometimes where you did get insulted/threatened, as well as hit by the villains. I didn't see any freak out there." Duusu pointed out. "For the insults, and the beatings, you have no idea how mad I was. I swear, when that Jeffry guy threatened me, I was on the verge of wanting to bash his nose off. And those villains, same case scenario. Why didn't I do it you may ask? It's not because I'm a coward, obviously. I did it because I knew you would be upset." Jack replied. "So, mad Duusu once again prevents you from attacking people?" Duusu asked. "Expect that one time my demon of a Father came over, but yes." Jack replied. "I deserve more blueberry muffins, after hearing that." Duusu said. "Maybe next time, champ. Look, all seems to be going well regardless. Then I'll have to give you to Ladybug, and go back home to Chicago." Jack replied. "What about the Aquatic Box?" Duusu asked. "Same thing. Look, don't worry about me. Despite the pain I'm going to feel soon, I'll be fine." Jack replied. Duusu moans in sadness, as she and her owner walk home.
Now we go to the Louvre, where Alix's Dad tries to get some work done. Despite the wheelchair condition he faces, he tries his best to keep his job. "Ok, just place it over there. Yeah, like that." Alix's Dad said. Some new delivery guys bring in a new artifact, and place it in the Egyptian exhibit. "Perfect. Thank you both, so much." Alix's Dad said. The delivery dudes go to leave, as Alix arrives as well. "Ahh, Alix. Just in time. Do you think you can lend your old man a helping hand?" Alix's Dad asked. "Why do you think I'm here?" Alix asked back. She helps her Dad up the stairs, as he sits in his wheelchair. "So, is everything with you job doing smooth still, despite your..." Alix asked. "All is going well. All I really need is some help when it comes to the stairs." Alix's Dad replied. "Yeah, but all is going well right?" Alix asked. "Yes. Listen, don't worry about me, or my job. Despite this, my boss still allows me to work here. Once again, even if it's hard a bit for work now." Alix's Dad replied. "[both make it to the top of the stairs]. All that matters to me is that your ok, and not in any peril." Alix said. "Thanks, kid. [starts to wheel himself]. So, how is progress on getting ready for your next high school?" Alix's Dad asked. "So far so good. I've found some options for me to choose. With each of them possessing what I want most. Engineering." Alix replied. "Perfect. Sometime tonight, we can talk about it. After all, your future is very important now, and I can't wait to see it blossom." Alix's Dad said. "So can I." Alix replied. Soon, Alix's Dad gets a phone call. He answers is, and chats. Soon, the call ends, and he hangs up. "Sorry, that was my boss. He wants to meet me in his office." Alix's Dad said. "Are you in trouble?" Alix asked. "No. He said it's just some minor business." Alix's Dad replied. "That's good. Do you need me to take you there?" Alix asked. "That would be sweet of you dear." Alix's Dad replied. So Alix wheels her Dad, so he can meet his boss faster. In the end, he is now seated outside his office. "There we go. Right at your boss' door." Alix said. "Thanks, Alix. That's all the help I will be needing." Alix's Dad replied. "See you at dinner time?" Alix asked. "Indeed." Alix's Dad replied. Alix smiles, as she leaves her Father. As for her Dad, he is let inside of his boss's office.
"Good afternoon, sir. You requested to see me." Alix's Dad asked. "Mr. Kubdel. Is everything still going smooth with the chair?" Boss asked back. "Yes, sir. All is going well." Alix's Dad replied. "Perfect. Then, this shouldn't be that much of an issue. Your fired." Boss said. "Oh, sir, you didn't have to, WHAT?!" Alix's Dad asked in shock. "The truth is, you've have been pushing through the job in a wheelchair. I can respect a man who is still willing to fight, despite some obstacles in his way. However, I can't have you working here anymore, if you are paralyzed from the neck down." Boss replied. "But, sir. You didn't seem to have an issue with me before." Alix's Dad said. "I didn't, but I've been thinking, and my thoughts have changed over time. So, yeah. I unfortunately need to let you go." Boss replied. "Sir, [talks in a broken tone] you don't seem to understand. This job means the world to me. I've always wanted to work inside of the biggest museum in the world. It's been my dreams for so many years. Please, re-think what you are doing. Please." Alix's Dad begged. "I'm sorry, but that's the way things must be." Boss replied. Alix's Dad is now miserable. Broken, and nothing he can do, he leaves. The boss does do him a favor, and helps the door for him. Alix's Dad looks at his boss one last time, before he wheels away from him. His boss closes the door. Once he does, the boss pulls out a bead, and breaks it. There, a megakuma flies out, and the boss turns back into Farfalla. "Gabriel really should have used the power of the Chameleon more often. This is the perfect weapon to cause negativity. [feel brooch]. And Alix's Dad is full of it. Go now my megakuma. Grant this broken man the power he needs to prove his commitment." Farfalla ordered. The megakuma flies it's way to Alix's Dad, who wheels farther away from his boss' door. As he round a corner, that's when the megakuma flies right into his wheelchair. "[mask forms]. Crank Maze. I am Farfalla. You work so hard, try with so much effort, but then you get released from your dreams because of your paralyzed body. Who cares what your boss says, when I can be a better one for you. I grant you the power to turn this ordinary museum into a deadly, unstoppable maze. Filled with traps that will put an end to some... insects of mine. You can worry about your boss, once you have Ladybug, Cat Noir, and any heroes they bring along trapped inside your maze. Bring me their miraculous, then destroy them for good. And don't worry if they try to use fancy ways to get in like, Voyage, or something. Their powers will be unable to outsmart the mastery of your contraption." Farfalla ordered. "As you insist, Farfalla." Alix's Dad replied, as he transforms into Crank Maze.
Soon, the entire Louvre gets akumatized. It turns into a rusty, but mostly old mechanic triangle. It's notired by Alix, who manages to get out just in time. She turns around, and is shocked at what she sees. The Louvre not only has changed in color, but also in size. The entire maze is enormous, that everyone in Paris sees it. Including Marinette and Adrien. "Looks like another villains has arrived. At least it wasn't here." Marinette said. "Right.... Look, I have to go, Marinette. I'm so sorry, but my Dad asked me to come home for... family reasons. Hope we do this again sometime." Adrien replied. He leaves the money on the table, plus tip, then leaves. "Perfect timing." Marinette said. They both run along, so they can go stop this mess. Adrien goes into an alleyway. "Plagg, claws out." Adrien said, as he transforms into Cat Noir. Marinette runs into the sewers. "Tikki, spots on." Marinette said, as she transforms into Ladybug. Back at the Louvre, Alix pounds on the newly shaped museum. "DAD!!! DAD!!! I KNOW YOUR IN THERE!!! Don't worry, I'll find a way to save you." Alix said, as she pounds her fist against the metal surface. "Stand back." Blue Bird replied, as he arrives. So do Ladybug, and Cat Noir. "Ladybug, and the gang. Awesome. I don't know what happened, but I helped me Dad to go see his boss, was about to leave to go rollerblading, and then boom! This happened." Alix explained. "Purfect explanation. So, what's the game plan?" Cat Noir asked. Soon, a flying metal ball flies out of the pyramid. It flies right in front of our heroes, and Alix. There, it projects an image of Crank Maze. Crank Maze's entire body is an old fashion mechanic metal like the new Louvre, spots a top hat with a gear in the middle, a mechanical beard, his legs being two sharp mech spider legs, and he has a wrench as a weapon. "Hello, my dear heroes of Paris. I am Crank Maze. I'm glad you all managed to make it to my new... exhibit if you want to call it that." Crank Maze said. Just by his voice, Alix soon realizes who it is. "Dad?!" Alix asked in shock. "Ahhh, Alix. Tell me, does my new look please you?" Crank Maze asked. "Of course not, Dad. What even happened to you?" Alix asked back. "It's Crank Maze, and it's none of your business. What really matters is that I will get your miraculous. And Farfalla will be very happy to see them in her hands." Crank Maze replied. "Not if we stop you, which we always will." Blue Bird said. "Hahaha!!! Nice try, but the only way to get to me, is to enter my deadly maze. Filled with traps, and other surprises that surely will get me those jewels." Crank Maze replied. "Yawn! You're forgetting we have teleport, and other powers we can use to get to you." Ladybug said. "I know, so that's why Farfalla specifically made sure my maze is invulnerable to your magic. So even a simple portal won't get you to me." Crank Maze replied, as he laughs. "So your saying the only way to get to you is... escape your maze?" Cat Noir asked. "Like a mouse trying to find it's way out." Crank Maze replied. The ball stops projecting, then leaves. "Ok, so we just go in, and do this? I've done escape rooms before, minus murder weapons." Blue Bird said. Ladybug looks at Alix, who from the look in her eyes, wants to help her Dad. "That seems to be our only option. Just, let me get Alix somewhere safe. In case Crank Maze were to pull off any tricks." Ladybug said. She grabs Alix, then leaves the two boys. "So, you like puns?" Blue Bird asked. Ladybug takes Alix to an alleyway. "Thanks, Ladybug. You have no idea how much I want to help him." Alix said. "I do, but also, we can use more helping hands." Ladybug replied. "So, am I the only one coming?" Alix asked. "Yes. Granted, having more would help, but we don't know how deadly Farfalla made this maze. Best this be the ones where we bring less heroes, so we can play is safer." Ladybug replied. "Makes sense." Alix said. Ladybug opens her yo-yo, and pulls out the Rabbit miraculous. She gives it to Alix. Alix puts it on, and Fluff reforms. "Greetings Alix. How is my little time traveling fluffy tail doing?" Fluff asked. "I prefer if you don't call me that, but it's so nice as always to see you again, big ears. Fluff, clockwise." Alix replied, as she transforms into Bunnix.
"Excellent pun, kitty. Simple, but never scrambled. We should squawk more about yokes, more often." Blue Bird said. "[laughs]. Meowulous puns, birdie. I gotchat to hear more from you." Cat Noir replied. "[laughs]. Ok, I got another... oh hey, Bunnix is here." Blue Bird said. She and Ladybug comes back to the boys. "So, we got a little back up. That wasn't meant to be a pun, or insulting, btw." Cat Noir said. "I know." Bunnix replied. "Ok gang, plan is simple as making a lemon water. We go in, survive the maze, find where Crank Maze is hiding, get his megakuma, save him, save the day, pound it." Ladybug explained. "Fine by me." Blue Bird said. So, all four heroes walk to the Louvre. Then pyramid opens it's doors to them all. A bit suspicious, but regardless, they enter. Once they all are inside, the door slams shut. And then, they all get separated into pairs, when the floor splits in half, and they fall down different shots. Ladybug and Cat Noir go together, as Blue Bird and Bunnix are together. They slide down slides, which makes them scream, or get a good laughs from Cat and Blue. In the end, they all fall to the ground. As they get up, they see the maze. A gain complex maze that shockingly fits inside of the entire museum. "Ok, so this is the maze? [looks up]. Foolish butterfly. She left the ceiling up there. Cat Noir, extend your staff, so we can get there faster." Ladybug ordered. Cat obeys her, and does so. Except when he does, he suddenly gets electrocuted. Cat gets shocked, then falls to the ground. "Cat!" Ladybug screamed, as he tends her partner. "Ouch! Looks like there is some kind of energy field. One that stings like a bee." Cat Noir said. "Interesting trick, Farfalla. [looks around]. There seems to be no other way around it either. For now. Out best bet is as expected, to do the maze." Ladybug replied. "Dang! Wish we could have used a cheat code to escape. Just, keep your guard up, and be cautious." Cat Noir said. "Agreed." Ladybug replied. The two head off, as we see how Blue Bird and Bunnix are. Bunnix gets electrocuted, when her umbrella goes over the walls. "Electric field? Sneaky trick." Blue Bird said. "[gets up]. Don't worry, I'll be ok. What matters is that we stop Crank Maze, and maybe, get me a power upgrade." Bunnix replied. "You've been extra excited about a power upgrade haven't you." Blue Bird said. "I mean, of course I am. It's taking some time, but you know, not something that bothers me much." Bunnix replied. "Right. So the maze can't be affected by our magic, but Crank Maze didn't say anything about how our magic can help us solve the maze." Blue Bird said. "Meaning?" Bunnix asked. "Allow me to demonstrate." Blue Bird replied. He opens up his fan, and pulls out a feather. After he turns it into an amok, he places his amok into his fan. Now using his powers, Blue Bird creates a sentimonster. It's a big rat with razor claws, wires wrapped around it's legs, and body, has an exposed mechanic brain, and robot green eyes. "Bunnix, met Trap Rat. Trap Rat, I am Blue Bird. You live to obey my ever command as long as my fan is in my hand. Use your strong super scent to find our way through this maze. And keep us alert of any booby traps along the way." Blue Bird ordered. Trap Rat obeys, and gets to work. Sniffing, then moving through the maze. "Huh? Brilliant idea, Blue Bird." Bunnix said. "Exactly. Now all we have to do is follow my rat, and then we are there. In and out." Blue Bird replied. So the two heroes follow the rat through the maze.
Back with Ladybug and Cat Noir, they walk carefully through the maze' interior. Making sure to be extra careful, as they proceed. "So we don't have anything to help us see the traps, but you do have your sixth sense. Think that can help you sense any of the traps?" Ladybug asked. "Maybe. We'll just have to see." Cat Noir said. Soon, the two heroes come to a fork in the road. Multiple forks to be exact. "Ok, so we got four pathways, and one has to be the next course. What should we do?" Cat Noir asked. "Hmmm, [snaps her fingers]. I have an idea." Ladybug replied. Ladybug opens her yo-yo, and pulls out a macaroon. "After each path we take that fails, we will place a piece of this macaroon on the floor. That will tell us that path isn't the way there." Ladybug said. "Good idea. Doesn't take away how careful we must be." Cat Noir replied. Anyway, Ladybug goes down to one of the four pathway. Only for Cat Noir to grab her by the shoulder. "What gives, kitty?" Ladybug asked. "I was trying to save your life." Cat Noir replied. He gently taps the floor, and then the entire floor falls to the ground. Revealing spikes at the bottom. And it's not just one floor board, it's the entire floor board of that pathway. "God I love that sixth sense of yours." Ladybug said. "So this path is a no. Might as well try this one." Cat Noir replied. Ladybug places a macaroon on the floor, as the two heroes move onto the next one.
As for Blue Bird and Bunnix, they are doing pretty alright. After all, Trap Rat is basically showing them where exactly to go thank to it's abilities. So in the meantime, the two just chill, as they walk. "So, are you excited when you get a power upgrade?" Bunnix asked. "To be honest, I really don't care. It can be cool, but my powers are already awesome. Fun fact, that's my kwami's, Duusu, favorite word." Blue Bird replied. "Awww, but why aren't you that excited?" Bunnix asked. "Because apparently I found this out some time ago. And the same applies to the Butterfly miraculous as well. I can't de-transform." Blue Bird replied. "What?" Bunnix asked. "It sounds bonkers, but it's true. Duusu explained to me that there are some lucky miraculous, where you can't de-transform at all. Among one of them is something called the Prodigious. She explained it's some miraculous the Shanghai hero, Ladydragon, has. You just transform, and you can't turn back, unless you choose to. It's incredible." Blue Bird explained. "So that's how Farfalla, and you are able to last five minutes, without turning back." Bunnix said. "Indeed. Does it sound OP? Well, yes. But hey, it's fine with me." Blue Bird replied. "It's going to be a blast, when I don't get to transform back either. Once I get to my full potential of course." Bunnix said. "Of course. First, you need to get to level one, which hasn't been that nice to you." Blue Bird replied. Trap Rat stops them, when he sniffs something. Soon, his mechanic brain flies out, and shots a laser, that dashes through the walls. It sets off a pair of buzzsaw, that almost could have sliced them to death. "See. Awesome powers." Blue Bird said. Trap Rat, Blue Bird, and Bunnix, all army crawl underneath the trap. They make it past the buzzsaws, and press forward. "Anyway, hasn't been nice to me? What is that suppose to mean?" Bunnix asked. "Well, personally some of the heroes have gotten their power upgrades pretty easily. At this point, I know it's a power upgrade when I see it. Except, you seem to be... unlucky, compared to the others." Blue Bird explained. "So your saying my power upgrade is harder to get?" Bunnix asked. "Something like that." Blue Bird replied. Bunnix then gets a little upset at this news, just like she felt left out back at the warehouse. "Hey, doesn't mean you'll never get it. Like the others, you're going to one day get that new power. Maybe even today, you'll get it. Besides, you got the best Peacock in the world, before Duusu of course, to support you til the end. So, don't worry if you lost all hope." Blue Bird supported. Bunnix smiles. "Duusu is pretty lucky to have a guy like you." Bunnix said. "Yes she is, Bunnix. Yes she is." Blue Bird replied. The two press on, as Trap Rat keeps them alert.
Ladybug and Cat Noir keep pressing forward. Exploring the deadly maze, and keeping their guard up at all times. "So, My Lady. Don't worry, I'll keep alert, but are excited for when we get to our full potential?" Cat Noir asked. "Of course I am. Getting infinite creation powers, and can fly, plus travel fast. I will do what it takes to get there." Ladybug replied. "Same here. Though, the infinite destruction won't be an issue right?" Cat Noir asked. "Don't worry about it. That's something completely different." Ladybug replied. "Awesome. I'm so glad we are here where we are now. Despite some minor things that happened after the events of the clawer invasion, it seems all is going well. Farfalla might have the megakumas, but we are building a stronger team day by day. Plus, we have sentimonsters now. Really helps us get the job done faster." Cat Noir said. "Yeah. Sentis, are very cool." Ladybug replied with a slight dash of jealousy. "I just hope Nooroo is safe with whoever Farfalla is, but considering how twisted her plans her, it's not going to be a good answer." Cat Noir said. "We'll get him back, kitty. And then all of this will be over." Ladybug replied. "I'm glad it will be over sometime soon. Meaning we can finally be at peace, and then who knows. After we take her out, we will learn how to reach our full potential. Then we will be unstoppable. No supervillain will be able to stop us then." Cat Noir said. "We are the purfect duo, Cat Noir." Ladybug replied. "And I'm glad we are." Cat Noir said. Soon, the duo stops because they reached a dead end. "Dang it! Another failure. Let's turn around, and try again." Ladybug said. She goes to leave, but then Cat Noir gasp. "WATCH OUT!" Cat Noir screamed, as he pulls her aside. Then, a giant hammer swings down, and bashes the wall. Ladybug and Cat Noir are shocked at this trap. "I really adore that sixth sense of yours." Ladybug said. "[gets up]. Another sneaky trap. Best we be extra careful now." Cat Noir replied. Ladybug nods her head, and agrees. They go back, hoping to be ready for more deadly traps along the way.
Bunnix and Blue Bird keep pressing forward as well. With Trap Rat as their tour guide. The rat makes them stop, as he smells something fishy. Literally, as the floor opens up, and a shark jumps out. Scaring both heroes. "God, Farfalla is that serious to killing us?" Blue Bird asked. "At this point, I prefer Hawkmoth. At least he had some sanity." Bunnix replied. "One can agree." Blue Bird said. As the floor turns back to normal, the two heroes, and sentimonster jump over the trapped floor. They proceed to press forward. "So, is it cool to have your own kwami with you at all times?" Bunnix asked. "It is. Your never lonely, you have someone who can relate to a lot, and sometimes, your kwami can... understand you, and your problems. Side note, I have no problems. It's just something to keep in mind." Blue Bird replied. "Gotcha. I hope Ladybug let's us keep our miraculous one of these days. Just, Fluff and I hanging out, fighting crime, and spending valuable time, together." Bunnix said. "Nice time pun." Blue Bird replied. "Appreciate it." Bunnix said. "Though it wasn't pleasant at the start with Duusu. As the kwami of Emotion, she truly means what she is. Back then, she always cried whenever I told her no. The most infamous example being when she is not allowed to get a blueberry muffins. That's her favorite food. It annoyed me so much. So much to an extent that I... never mind. It's personally business." Blue Bird replied. "Understood." Bunnix said. "But besides that, she is also a sweet, cute, and just a being who wants to make her owner happy. For me, it's just at times where I feel down, or frustrated. She especially helped me the day I found her, when she gave me a breathing technique to help cool me down. And on another day... when I tried to stop a villain on my own." Blue Bird replied. "No way! You tried to fight an akumatized villain?!" Bunnix asked in shock. "It was a really dumb idea, so it makes sense why Duusu yelled at me. By the way, if you have Duusu, never let her become Mad Duusu. She is the kwami of emotion for a reason. That was also the day I decided to become Blue Bird. The whole experience was really confusing for me. I've never done this before, I've never heard of this before. It was all give to me at random one day. And it didn't work well with Ladybug either." Blue Bird replied. "What happened?" Bunnix said. "Cat Noir and Su Han were down to trust me, since I did save them with my sentimonster, Intestines. Ladybug on the other hand, didn't want to trust me. It lead to us fighting all the time. Like a messed up couple, who hated each other's guts. No wonder Cat Noir beat us because of it. We weren't like a team. We were more of two enemies forced to work together." Blue Bird explained. "So, how did you two make up?" Bunnix asked. "When we fell to the Earth's core. We actually worked together, and nearly pound it. It would have been my first one, but she both backed away. However, it was the first time we actually were positive to each other. Which made out kwamis very happy. Duusu, and Ladybug's kwami didn't like us fighting. However, it all soon ended, after that day. We started to slowly hang out, and actually keep like decent friends. Soon, I found out why exactly Ladybug wasn't trusting me that much." Blue Bird replied. "What was it?" Bunnix asked. "She prefers if it remains a secret. However, I can slightly understand why she didn't want to trust me. But it doesn't matter anymore. We both are on the right foot, and now are good pals. Even if she might have a bit of an ego, recently." Blue Bird replied. "Oh, I can see it as well. She wasn't that pleased when Cat Noir, Queen Bee, and Ryuko took care of most of the crimes, than us." Bunnix said. "Then that makes two of us. Since Ladybug is shown to learn from her mistakes, or grow as a person, I'm sure she will be ok with some of her spotlight being taken away." Blue Bird replied. "Yeah, I agree." Bunnix said.
The two keep pressing onward, as a montage commences. We see our pair of heroes walking through the maze, trying to find Crank Maze. Ladybug and Cat Noir walk down one path, but Cat stops his Ladybug. He takes out a piece of cheese, and throws it across the wall. Then, laser beams go off than fry the ground. It makes our heroes gulp. Then careful move there way through the halls. Avoiding the lasers in the corresponding spots. Once pasted, they press forward. As for Blue Bird and Bunnix, they have Trap Rat to help them. He stops them both, as he sniffs another trap. A cannon that shoots literal snakes. They snakes do go down a shoot, so they don't infect the maze. As the cannon goes away, the heroes and senti move carefully past the trap. Once through, they move onward. Ladybug and Cat Noir then come across another obstacle. A bear pit with hunger bears. Ones with claws as sharp as knives. Cat Noir avoids this by using his staff. After he extends it, and places the other side onto the other side of the pit, Ladybug and him carefully walk across it. Making sure to maintain balance, as they do. Ladybug does get spooked when some of the bears try to slash her, but Cat Noir makes sure she is alright. They make it across, and once Cat gets his staff back, they press forward. Bunnix and Blue Bird make it to another trap as well. Thanks to Trap Rat, who warns them to stop. It's a literally cinder block that falls from the sky. Both heroes are shocked out of their minds, but it's a good thing Blue's senti stopped them. They could walk over the cinder block, but both make the obvious choice of jumping over it. With Trap Rat in Blue Bird's hands, as they move. Good thing they did, since another cinder block falls from the sky. They both shake it off, and keep pushing. Soon, Ladybug and Cat Noir walk down a stair case to another level. There, the see a floor, and another floor across a giant pit. However, the two take a minute to breathe. The same with Blue Bird and Bunnix, who also arrive. "Finally! This must be the end." Ladybug said. "Finally. This must be the end." Bunnix replied. Soon, both pairs of heroes get surprised to see each other again. "Well, that's surprising." Ladybug said. "Well, that's surprising." Bunnix replied. "Why are you copying me?" Ladybug asked. "Why are you copying me?" Bunnix asked back. "Bunnix, stop it." Ladybug replied. "Bunnix, stop it. [pause]. I'll stop for real now." Bunnix said. Soon, all four heroes hear laughing coming from the room. They look, and see Crank Maze laughing on the other side. "So you managed to survive my deadly maze? Didn't expect that. Some of those traps should have killed you in painful ways." Crank Maze said. "Jokes on you, you piece of junk. I have sentis in my side. Trap Rat did help us out, so it wasn't that hard to get through your maze. I mean, you didn't say anything about how our powers can help us get though the maze." Blue Bird replied. "My, my. Very impressive. But tell me this Blue Bird. Can your little rodent help you get across, THIS!!!" Crank Maze yelled. He is referring to the giant pit that is in front of the heroes. "That's right. You thought it was going to end easy right? Of course not. Farfalla, and I went all out for this one. So, if you really want to get my akuma, and if you really want to get out of here alive, you need to find a way across this deadly pit. Which by the way, is endless." Crank Maze explained. "And endless pit? Geez!" Bunnix said. "That's right, bunny rabbit. [turns his back from the heroes. Mask forms]. It's only a matter of time, Farfalla. They won't be able to get us. Those miraculous will soon be yours." Crank Maze replied. "But what if they fall into the pit? How will that help us?" Farfalla asked. "Don't worry about it. I'm an intelligent engineer. If one mistake happens, no problem. I have all I need to fix it. In the mean time, just relax, be patient, and expect those miraculous to come in soon." Crank Maze replied. Crank Maze turns around, and then gets spooked out of his mind. Because suddenly, all the heroes are now on the other side. "Ok, this has to be a hallucination. How did you get across?" Crank Maze asked. "We have more than fancy powers, and animal based suits. We also have increased speed, and strength. We simply did a classic... run and jump. It was scary, but we did it. Because we rule, and you guys drool." Blue Bird replied. "Fine. No matter if there is an error. I will still find a way to get those miraculous." Crank Maze declared.
Then all of them go into combat. Cat Noir swing his staff, but Crank Maze blocks it with his wrench. The sword fight for a bit, with Cat swinging his staff against Crank Maze's leg, but he jumps over it. As he lands, Crank Maze bashes Cat in the face. Just in time for Ladybug to come in. She ties up Crank Maze, but he plays dirty. He chucks his wrench directly into her face. Still tied up, he fights Blue Bird. He uses his fan to get some hits in, and Trap Rat tries bitting Crank Maze's spider legs. That ends poorly, as Crank Maze socks Blue Bird in the face, and slaps Trap Rat off of his leg. He gets untied, as Ladybug goes back in. Crank Maze jumps over her punch, and gets his wrench back. Ladybug throws her yo-yo again, but it gets wrapped around Crank Maze's wrench. He pulls her forward, then grabs her by the throat, and slams her to the ground. Now, Bunnix joins in. She whacks her own Dad in the face with her umbrella. "Ohh, sorry." Bunnix apologized. That earns her a wrench across the cheek, and sent flying into Blue Bird. Cat Noir comes back in. He bashes Crank Maze in the face with his staff. He does it again a few more time, before Crank Maze ducks under one of them. He then scratches Cat with his spider leg, and then slaps him square in the face. Ladybug, who is being held down by Crank Maze, kicks him in the face. She is free, and ready to fight again. That's when Trap Rats onto Ladybug's head, and at Crank Maze. He starts mauling Crank Maze's face. "Hey! Hey! Get him ratty! Get him!" Blue Bird cheered. Crank Maze gets mad, and he throws the rat. Trap Rat slides across the ground, squeals, and also the falls off the cliff. Blue Bird thankfully runs, and grabs his pet before that happens. "Pff. That was close." Blue Bird said. That's when Crank Maze charges at him. Just as Blue Bird gets up, Crank Maze pushes Blue Bird off the ledge. He then starts to fall into the endless pit, all while he and Trap Rat scream. "BLUE BIRD!!!" Everyone screamed. Crank Maze laughs. "One down. Time for three more to go." Crank Maze yelled. He goes back into battle, as Bunnix goes full on insane. She runs, jumps, and dives down into the pit. She skydives her way to Blue Bird, who is still screaming his way down. She gets closer, and closer to the bird, who then sees Bunnix. "Bunnix! What are you doing?" Blue Bird asked shocked. "Trying to save you that's what." Bunnix replied. "But how? All you have is time travel powers." Blue Bird asked. "Like you said, today might be the day. And I'm going to make it that day." Bunnix declared. As they both fall, Bunnix focuses. Blue Bird watches her go silent. Praying that she will do something to get them out of here. Time flies by. A few seconds. Maybe about a minute. And still, nothing is happening. "Uhh, Bunnix. I'm glad that your focusing, but I really hope you got something." Blue Bird said, as he starts to panic. Bunnix doesn't respond. She doesn't say a word at all. She keeps on focusing. Until, she finally says a word. "Burrow!" Bunnix said, as she uses her powers. She opens a time portal, and jumps right into it. Then, she disappears. Blue Bird's eyes open up to what just happened. "So, she waited all that time to open a burrow?" Blue Bird asked. Trap Rat makes rat noises, indicting Blue Bird is right. "I don't speak rat, but I think you get me. So, you want to start screaming again?" Blue Bird asked. Trap Rat nods his head. "Ok. [clears throat]. AHHHHH!!!!!!" Blue Bird screamed. Then all of the sudden, Bunnix appears behind them, grabs them, and forces them into another burrow. Back up top, Crank Maze bashes Cat against a wall. As Ladybug goes to save him, she gets hit in the face with Crank Maze's wrench. She too gets sent flying against a wall. As Crank Maze laughs, he sees he is about to win. "[mask forms]. Hurry and get their miraculous, while they are still down. This is our chance." Farfalla ordered. As he crawls onto Ladybug, he goes to get the earrings. But then, a burrow opens, and Bunnix comes back. Crank Maze turns around, and is shocked to see Bunnix, and Blue Bird again. "What on Earth? How did you get out of my endless pit?" Crank Maze asked. "I don't know. All I did was focus, go into my burrow, then I suddenly traveled through time and space. Or was it just time? Maybe only space? I'm not sure." Bunnix relied. Blue Bird looks at Bunnix's watch. "Hang on! Does your watch take off minutes that fast?" Blue Bird asked. "Huh?" Bunnix asked back. "You have only three minutes left, before you de-transform." Blue Bird replied. "[looks at watch]. Your right. But how did it do th...[realizes what this could me]... power upgrade?" Bunnix asked. Soon, Crank Maze charges at them both. Blue Bird and Bunnix both dodge it. "Maybe we can discuss later. Right now, we have a supervillain to stop." Blue Bird said. "Agreed." Bunnix replied.
As Crank Maze fights them both off, Ladybug and Cat Noir get back up. They see their fellow bird, and rabbit again. "Ok, how did they get back?" Ladybug asked. "Doesn't matter. We have the team again." Cat Noir replied, as he joins back into the fight. As Cat crashes into Crank Maze, Ladybug gets up. "Ok, Blue Bird. Let's see of you will steal my spotlight now. Lucky charm." Ladybug said, as she uses her powers. Her lucky charm forms a power drill. "A power drill. Would have been useful if we fought Condestructor." Ladybug said. She looks around to see what she can do with her lucky charm. During the fight, she sees multiple bolts on Crank Maze's body. And with one look at the power drill, she knows what to do. Bunnix, Blue Bird, and Cat Noir all fend off Crank Maze. As they block, dodge, or avoid any of his attacks, Ladybug carefully sneaks behind him. Once she does, she drills into his bolts one by one. When Crank Maze notices, he goes to hit her with his wrench. She dodges it, giving her enough time to get another bolt out. It upsets Crank Maze, but he doesn't have time to react. Because Blue Bird, Bunnix, or Cat Noir hits him, resulting in him avoiding Ladybug. Soon, she goes for one of his legs. She drills the heck out of it. Taking out each bolt on by one. Soon, one of Crank Maze's legs come off. Making it hard for him balance. Ladybug does the same with another, and it makes him fall to the ground. Crank Maze goes to hit Ladybug with his wrench, but his hand gets grabbed by Blue Bird. His other, by Cat Noir. Soon, as he screams, Ladybug drills off all his legs. Leaving him a leg less supervillain. "My legs! My precious legs!" Crank Maze screamed. "Uhhh, Ladybug. Are you sure that was a valid idea?" Bunnix asked. "Don't worry. We have just what we need to fix this. Now, where is the akuma?" Ladybug asked back. "Well, I can't move, and I'm being held down, and I'm sure you guys will attack me if I try anything. So, ok. I surrender. Just break the center that holds my robotic legs, and all will be done." Crank Maze replied. "Gladly." Ladybug said. She kicks the center, until it breaks. The megakuma flies out. Ladybug then opens her yo-yo, spins it around, captures the megakuma, frees it from evil, and says a nice goodbye, as it flies away.
"Miraculous Ladybug." Ladybug said, as she uses her powers. With that, the lucky charm fixes all the damage caused by Crank Maze. Turning the Louvre back to normal, as well as Alix' Dad. Now free, Ladybug opens her yo-yo, and pulls out a magical charm. As Blue Bird and Cat Noir help Alix's Dad into his wheelchair, Ladybug gives the charm to him. "Here, Mr. Kubdel. This magical charm will prevent you from getting akumatized. Not really, but it still serves the same old reminder. Don't let negativity take the better of you." Ladybug said. "Thank you Ladybug. And thank you to the rest of you as well." Mr. Kubdel replied. "Well, how was that performance team?" Ladybug asked. She soon sees her team all chatting away from her. "So that rat helped get you two through the maze?" Cat Noir asked. "Sentimonsters are useful when in the right hands. Kind of like lucky charms, if they could walk, or talk, or you know, anything." Blue Bird replied. "Well that was such a good idea to use that, in order to get through the maze. And the fact it detects the traps as well? Brilliant. So Bunnix, did you think you got a power upgrade?" Cat Noir asked. "I mean, my clock was at three minutes when I saved Blue Bird. Maybe. I hope so. I hope I finally got my power upgrade." Bunnix replied. "Maybe save it when we meet again. Your time is almost out." Blue Bird said. "Umm, guys! Hello! [all three look at her]. How did I do? Great right?" Ladybug asked. "You did nice, Ladybug. So tell me more about Trap Rat." Cat Noir replied. Ladybug, losing her spotlight again, gives a mood look at Blue Bird. She does shake it off, when she sees her time is almost up. "Ok team. For real, we need to go. Some of us are about to transform back." Ladybug said. "Fair point. I can take care of Mr. Kubdel." Blue Bird replied. "Great. Well, see you guys later." Cat Noir said, as he leaves. The same with Ladybug and Bunnix. "So, it's just you and me now." Blue Bird said. He grabs Mr. Kubdel's wheelchair, and helps push him. Thank you, Blue Bird." Mr. Kubdel said. "Just doing what I do best. Help making a few lives, a little bit better." Blue Bird replied.
Back with Farfalla, who is upset that her plan failed. "Stupid heroes! Stupid powers! Stupid everything. [sighs]. I better calm down. We can rant when we get home. Right now, I need to clean my tracks." Farfalla said. As Blue Bird helps push Mr. Kubdel, his "boss" arrives in front of him. "Mr. Kubdel, and Blue Bird. But more importantly, Mr. Kubdel." Boss said. "Don't worry sir. I understand. I'm going to pack up my stuff now." Mr. Kubdel replied. "Pack up your stuff? Of course not. Your not fired anymore." Boss said. "What?" Mr. Kubdel asked. "Excuse me, what?" Blue Bird asked as well. "I was very harsh on you back there, and shouldn't have been. I guess I need to get a better control of my emotions some day. But look, thats not what matters. What does matter is that I'm sorry for firing you. It was wrong of me to do that." Boss replied. "Really?" Mr. Kubdel asked. "Wait, is that the reason you got akumatized?" Blue Bird asked back. "First of all, I mean it. Your not fired. Second of all, he was akumatized?" Boss asked back. "Yeah. He turned the place into an entire deadly maze." Blue Bird replied. "Uhhh, I was lunch break when it must have happened. I just had to fire you, then it would be time to eat, but again, it felt wrong." Boss said. "That makes sense. Well, I'm glad you got your job back." Blue Bird replied. "[smiles]. Me too, Blue Bird. Me too." Mr. Kubdel said. he wheels away, leaving Blue Bird all alone. As for his boss, he too leaves. "Hmm, I don't know about you, but something feels a little fishy about this battle." Blue Bird said.
Back at the warehouse the next day, all the heroes are there chatting among themselves. The most important topic of discussion is Bunnix herself. "So you used your time powers more than once?" Carapace asked. "And your time went done faster than you expected?" King Monkey asked back. "Does that mean you did it?" Purple Tigress asked back. "Yeah, did you get a power upgrade?" Pigella asked back. "Uhhh, well yes I used it more than once, my time did went down faster, and honestly, I think so. What about you, Blue Bird? Your someone who seems to know when someone gets an upgrade." Bunnix replied. "Correction, no. I assume it's a power upgrade." Blue Bird said. "Right. So, do you think maybe this could be it? My power upgrade?" Bunnix asked, hoping she is right. "Hmm, well your time did went down once you used the burrow, which you used not to go back in time, but to travel through time and space. So, I think so. I think that is your power upgrade." Blue Bird replied. "And he is right. [all the heroes look at Su Han]. Your power upgrade is the ability to use your burrow more than once. Only when it comes to traveling through time and space. However, ever time you use it, your timer goes down my a minute exactly. So, yeah. You need to learn to use them wisely, when the time comes. And, no need to panic. No deadly consequence will comes of this. That only applies if you were to use time travel to fix something in the past. In other words, that's your new power." Su Han explained. "So, all I get is to travel through time and space, but lose a minute if I do so? [silence]. AWESOME!!!" Bunnix cheered. Bunnix jumps up and down happy, as the heroes clap for her. She looks at Blue Bird, and smiles at him. He smiles back. Happy to see another member of the team getting another power upgrade.
