Let me add before we begin; Mariposa has a slight English accent despite being Hispanic. IDK also thanks to KittyEmmaNoirAgreste I have decided that Catamount and Jaguar are indeed gay plus perhaps like one another but let's continue with the story >.<

Mistress Fe and her team had been lead to the back of the small business by Master Fu. His eyes were emotionless just like Fe's. It was honestly, creepy...

"Since you know more than I. My suggestion would be to request that you, Mistress Fe, send out your heroes while you and I discuss strategy."

"That's it? No battle plan?! Just send us out like some mindless robots?!" Mariposa screamed.

"Woah. Calm down Mariposa!" Dragonfly protested.

The rest of the team stood with wide eyes. Mariposa never lost her temper before.

"No. That's my best friend out there! I can't risk her getting injured!" Master fu walked up and smiled. "Of course, I understand. Why don't you go see my heroes? Would that ease your mind?"

Mariposa chocked on words, only able to nod. She'd never lashed out at anyone and the number of emotions were so powerful.

~ ~ ~ With Grey Wolf~~~

After a long rant with himself. Grey made his way back to Ladybug and Cat Noir. His eyes tightened as tears threatened to spill.

No, he couldn't show signs of weakness. He needed to be brave. Just as he reached the school, his body froze.
Is that...Mariposa?!

"So you see, I couldn't stay away from my best friend. I do hope you understand."

Ladybug placed her hand on the butterfly. "Of course. There's no shame in wanting to help your friend."

Just as Mariposa was about to say something else, her senses told her someone was here. Turning slowly, it would be an understatement to say she was less than shocked.

"Grey?!"

"..."

"W-where...WHERE IN HEAVENS NAME HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

Grey looked away from Mariposa for just a moment before walking towards her and leaning down to her eye level.

"Why don't you take a look?"

Mariposa did not hesitate in putting her hand on Grey's forehead. Instantly a blue light surround the two, blinding the other heroes.

In a flash, Mariposa saw what had happened. It stung to hear the depressing words of her friend. Of course people cared! But to also feel the hate...why?

In an instant the light disappeared, Grey waited patiently for the expected discipline.

However Mariposa could only whimper as her eyes filled with tears. It was too much.

Perhaps it was wrong to be here... All of a sudden the four heard a loud cackle.
"So...you think an old friend is going to reverse all this? Tch, what a waste of time."

Instead of turning away, the former allies of the villain glared. This was just a negative illusion of their friend.
And like all illusions, it'll disappear one way or another.

Silver charged forward, her nails barely missing mariposa's wing. "Nice try villain. But I'm faster."

Gritting her teeth, Silver jumped onto the railing of the staircases that surrounded the heroes.
"Mariposa look out!" It was too late, Silver leaped onto the winged girl. Gripping tightly onto the hero, slicing half of her wing.

Watching her fall, Grey raced forward grabbing her in the nick of time. Setting her down gently, the boy charged forward changing into a large dark grey wolf with bright gold eyes.

"Oh? A little wolf wants to play?! Hehe, lets play...."

Ladybug and Cat attended to the wounded hero who was breathing heavily. Her left wing was sliced down the center, barely hanging together.

And that's when it turned to stone. Mariposa gritted her teeth as it broke into a million pieces. "I thought she could only do that with her arrows?"

Cat took a piece of the stone, it wasn't magical or anything just plain rock.

"I-If she can do this...she's unstoppable."
