(Quantic Universe Earth 139, Paris, France, April 12th, 2015, Steel Butterfly's voiceover POV as he writes in his Rorschach-inspired journal in his lair...)

Steel Butterfly's journal.

April 12th, 2015.

If a certain birthday boy is reading this journal entry into the far future, Happy Birthday to Adrien Athanese Agreste, also known as Cat Noir, Aqua Noir, Ice Cat, Astro Cat, Mister Bug, Aspik, Cat Blanc, Snake Noir, Ephemeral, and Rabbit Noir.

As I know, today's not only Adrien Agreste's birthday, but today's also the day that Nino Lahiffe becomes Akumatized into The Bubbler, a supervillain who can manipulate and channel bubbles.

And like Hawk Moth, Bubbler's supersuit made me want to vomit.

But sadly, the reality of that is Akumatized supervillains are the ones who decide what they want their supersuits to look like. Well, with the exception of Stoneheart.

At the same time, Nino literally doesn't know anything about addressing Gabriel Agreste with formalities. But then again, that's just because of the fact that Nino has spent years using teenage slang and he knows next to nothing about using formalities due to having no experiences. And also due to Gabriel choosing not to become familiar with teenage slang used by English-speakers both in the English dub of Miraculous Ladybug in Paris, and in the United States on our respective Earths.

Anyway, I intend to avert The Bubbler's Akumatized rampage by simply reprogramming him with a Tenshi into a Birthday Monarch to help me set up Adrien's birthday party, but at the same time, I told Marinette to give Adrien his scarf early today at the school.

I told Marinette that there would be grave and deadly consequences if she chose to let Adrien live a lie if Nathalie ever told him that his new scarf was from his father as he's been giving him the same ballpoint pen for the past three years. I also took the liberty of making sure Marinette knows that if Adrien is allowed to live a lie, I'll b sure to take away her powers permanently.

To say the least, Marinette was willing to obey my orders and heed my warning because she was afraid of me.

That, and because she thought I was serious about the "grave and deadly consequences" part of my warning.

For once in my superhero career, I can honestly say I wasn't serious about that.

It was mainly to scare Marinette into listening to me about giving Adrien his scarf at the school on the day of his birthday.

But at the same time, I was also serious when I said I was going to take away Marinette's powers if she ever chose to let Adrien live a lie no matter if it's the right thing to do out of the goodness of her heart or not.

If I was Marinette – albeit being born as a girl in my past life first – I would just tell Adrien the truth regardless of the consequences.

But I think I might've accidentally made Marinette pee her pants.

If I did, Tikki would probably keep it to herself, thinking that I would post that on the internet.

And she's completely wrong; if I ever accidentally made Marinette pee herself, I would've made sure to give her some clean clothes to change into.

Of course, that makes me think of the second chapter of one of my favorite Miraculous Ladybug fanfictions from 2021-2022 wherein there is a Sherlock Incident in which one of Marinette's first days back to school made her so nervous that she peed herself.

When I read that, I laughed my ass off.

But all the same, if Marinette in this timeline ever peed her pants for any reason, I wouldn't ever laugh about it no matter how funny it is to some people. Simply because, as I've been asked many times before, it would never be funny if that happened to me.

And of course, if any of my enemies peed themselves, I would definitely post that on the internet.

But thankfully, that hasn't happened yet, and I can always settle for the Flapriel Fluttergreste memes on the internet created in the aftermath of the Simon Says incident.

Yeah, even after nearly a year of Flapriel Fluttergreste memes being on the interwebs, nobody is letting Gabriel live this one down.

Of course, I think that this has forced Gabriel to find another reason to hide in his mansion like a coward or a caterpillar afraid to come out of its cocoon as a butterfly.

At the same time, I intend to make sure that Simon Says manages to get his own revenge on Gabriel on Heroes' Day when he gets unmasked and revealed as Hawk Moth.

Yeah, I intend to make sure that Simon Says gets payback on the man who made him miserable just to Akumatize him and use him to steal Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses.

Of course, if there was ever a price for misusing a Miraculous jewel as explored in a few fanfictions on my Earth, Gabriel would be humiliated and he would be arrested earlier than canon or non-canon if you wish to use specific fan terms I hate to an extreme.

Now, as for what will happen to this universe once all the antagonists of Miraculous Ladybug are either imprisoned, reformed or dead... even though I follow most of the Word of God, I don't give a f*** about the law against execution. But for some like XY and Felix Fathom, as long as they don't commit their more serious crimes in the future, they can be changed for the better.

And no matter what happens, Felix Fathom will be changed for the better. If not, then I'm afraid I'll have to make a Sentimonster of Grandmaster Su-Han to pass judgement onto Felix at his Miraculous trial after his normal trials in Paris and England, no matter if the Order of the Guardians are revived after the Feast episode or not, Hawk Moth and Mayura or no Hawk Moth and Mayura.

But all the same, I don't really remember when Felix's father Colt Fathom died of cancer since that info was never really revealed in the show whatsoever. But then again, my session with Fluff the rabbit kwami revealed that Colt's funeral will be taking place within three to six days of Hawk Moth's trial around the time of the week after Thanksgiving.

And I'm pretty sure we'll have revived Emilie Agreste by that point in time for her to not only reintegrate herself into Parisian society, but also to have her testify against her former husband.

Must remember to discreetly send Adrien and Emilie to England to attend the funeral without attracting any form of attention.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I never would admit this to my teammates, but I have to say that in my personal life, I always loved birthday parties. But that was before my fourteenth birthday, when I started to outgrow them.

Now, I only do solo dance parties as discreetly and as privately as possible.

And at the same time, the only kinds of parties I enjoy are Christmas parties, costume parties, Easter parties, New Year's Eve parties free of alcoholic beverages, pizza parties, Independence Day parties, Thanksgiving Day parties, Valentine's Day parties starting this year, superhero parties, and Super Bowl Sunday parties.

I may have liked birthday parties when I was growing up, but that doesn't change the fact that sometimes you wind up with uninvited guests, such as family members not allowed in your lives no matter how much they try to bond with their children. And trust me, I know this from partial experience in my family and in my friend circles in high school and college.

But in any case, if Gabriel dares to deny my favorite black cat a birthday party, Steel Butterfly is here to help Adrien out.

And I think Adrien is gonna love the birthday party our teammates and I have been putting together. We worked very hard to make it happen, and for any child of God, hard work deserves to be rewarded.

But in this case, my teammates and I seeing Adrien enjoy himself in his first ever birthday party will definitely be my own definition of a nice enough reward for our hard work.

But in any case, I was awaken at six thirty by shouting outside.

I was disturbed to find I had fallen asleep without detransforming to feed Leppey.

I must've been tireder than I thought, but all the same, I should be more careful.

Outside, I used my telescopic vision to see that some boys were defacing an abandoned building.

I memorized their appearances and prepared for work.

First, I spoke my detransformation phrase, "Leppey, Elegant Wings Die."

And I made sure to triple lock my closet while I fed Leppey.

The reason why is because I invented replicas of my current and permanent Steel Butterfly armor for the sole purposes of both giving them to my clones whilst I Tenshize myself into a different superhero to lead even Hawk Moth astray as a blatant mockery of him Akumatizing himself into The Collector to prevent Ladybug and Cat Noir from discovering his identity three to four times in a row in the future, and for the sole purpose of convenience when I don't have my Miraculous with me. But then again, I did use my Sublimation superpower to give myself the ability to maintain and keep my powers as Steel Butterfly even without the Butterfly Miraculous and I also gave myself the ability to transform myself into Steel Butterfly regardless of whether or not I have my Miraculous or my replicas of my armored outfit and weapons.

On my way out of my apartment, I ran into my landlady who was feeding her cat.

She once again gave me the usual praises regarding hygiene and rent.

She had just attended her father's funeral two nights ago and got back home last night, but I was too tired to concentrate on offering my condolences. And when I laid myself into my bed, it was lights out at the snap of a pair of fingers.

Out on the street, I inspected the defaced building.

It was a silhouette picture on one of the doors: a man and a woman, possibly making out.

Even though I've been playing it safe with Ryoka, I still didn't like the picture; it makes the doorway look scary.

When I returned to my apartment, I made myself coffee and sat watching my mailbox across the street.

At around this time, 6:59 a.m., the mailman delivers mail to the residents of my apartment, myself included.

In the alley behind the mailbox, passersby threw away their trash: candy wrappers, cookie packages, potato crisp bags, rotting apple cores, banana peels, orange peels, coffee cups, breakfast sandwich wrappers, newspapers, etc.

Like New York City in the Watchmen comics and film, this fictional iteration of Paris is an animal, fierce, headstrong, and complicated.

To understand it better, I read through the newspapers that had been thrown out, I smell the scents of the people who throw out the food to find potential criminals, and I follow the scents to the sources after isolating them.

I sat watching the mailbox, and Paris opened its heart to me.

And all the while, I waited for the signal from the heavens to begin my plan for The Bubbler.

I know that the signal will happen sometime in the day. But now that I finished my breakfast and waited to digest it, I must get ready to pull off my plans.

(Marinette Dupain-Cheng's bedroom, third person POV...)

Marinette is sleeping soundly in her bed, having gone to bed at a decent hour the previous night.

Marinette seemed to be having a good dream if the smile on her face was any indication.

And somewhat thankfully, even in her sleep, Marinette wasn't drooling. She learned the easy way that it was one of the many things that disgusts Steel Butterfly, especially in terms of germs.

Suddenly, the alarm app on Marinette's cellphone wakes her up.

Marinette groggily turns off her alarm and carefully descends from her bed with Tikki shrugging off sleep as well.

Marinette yawns as she gets herself ready for the school day, which was coincidentally a Friday.

Marinette sends Adrien a telepathic, "Happy Birthday, Adrien."

Adrien telepathically replies, "Thanks, Marinette. I hope you got me something nice."

Marinette chuckled giddily in response as she mentally remarks outside of her telepathic power, "Oh, you have no idea how nice your scarf will be."

Meanwhile, in Adrien's bathroom, Adrien is brushing his teeth for the second time that morning.

Plagg comes up and says, "Happy Birthday, Adrien!"

Adrien smiles in response, unable to say anything while brushing his teeth without the risk of spilling toothpaste on his clothes.

Back in the Dupain-Cheng apartment, Marinette is walking down the stairs with Adrien's birthday present in hand while her mother is drinking some morning tea.

Sabine states, "Marinette, don't forget to clean your room after school today."

Marinette bemoans, "Mom! It's Friday, and I'm already doing something with Alya."

Sabine replies teasingly, "Fine, I'll go ahead and do it, but don't blame me if I come across any of your private stuff, like your e-mails, your diary—"

Marinette makes a nervous face and she replies quickly, "Okay! Okay! I'll do it, I'll do it."

Tikki struggles a bit to keep herself from laughing out loud because she found this interaction to be very funny.

Marinette walks up to her mother and kisses her on the cheek.

Then Marinette starts to leave.

Sabine calls out, "Have a nice day, sweetie, and wish Adrien a Happy Birthday from me and your father!"

Marinette replies as she closes the door, "I will!"

Sabine notices Tikki giving her a small smile before following her owner.

Sabine continues to drink her tea.

Meanwhile, at the Agreste Mansion, Adrien is eating breakfast alone at a big dining table.

Surprisingly, he looks a bit giddy.

Nathalie walks in holding a tablet with Adrien's schedule and says emotionlessly, "Here's your schedule, Adrien."

Adrien takes the tablet and replies, "Thanks, Nathalie. Um, did my father get back to you about my idea of a birthday party?"

Adrien remains stone-faced, knowing firsthand how to not get his hopes up, especially where his secret terrorist father was concerned.

Nathalie replies, "Well, um – he doesn't think it'll be a good idea."

Adrien remains stone-faced as he replies back sarcastically, "Of course. Where have I heard that one before?"

Nathalie states a tad somberly, "Happy Birthday, Adrien."

Nathalie leaves as she mentally remarks, "He really is starting to become more volatile. Gabriel had better not Akumatize his own son, just in case Adrien finds out about everything and starts planning on outright killing the man who sired him, even if Adrien understands his father's motives. But still... Whew. That was a close one. Adrien doesn't know about his father planning to Akumatize someone on Adrien's birthday."

Adrien covers up his scowl with the tablet as he silently whispers, "(Silently mouthing) If he ruins my birthday by Akumatizing Nino, as Steel Butterfly surmised, he's so gonna get it."

Outside of the school, Adrien and Nino are talking.

Adrien got his present from Marinette a few minutes ago and he told her he loves it. He especially appreciated Marinette's parents taking the time to wish him a Happy Birthday.

As Nino blows some bubbles, he asks, "Dude, seriously? Has your dad always been such a downer? You'd think he'd at least remember what it was like to be young and want to party a little bit."

Adrien replies matter-of-factly, "Well, based on what my family therapist has told me, my dad is afraid of the past due to bad experiences from his childhood here at Francoise Dupont before meeting my mother and her twin sister – who is my aunt – and my dad is literally too hung up on finding a way to find my mother that he hides in our mansion like a butterfly afraid to come out of its cocoon. On top of that, my father only attended dinner parties with my mother before her disappearance, and even then, if my father tries to deny me a party, I won't hesitate to ask Steel Butterfly to throw me a small birthday party so as to not draw attention. BUT it's a dark secret, so you must not tell ANYONE within range of where Nathalie and my father might be eavesdropping."

Nino replies, "No problem, dude. My lips are sealed, but it's only a matter of time before someone catches on and the whole thing might spread like wildfire."

Adrien replies back, "Don't worry; at the slightest sign that someone might find out, Steel Butterfly will wipe your memory with amnesia dust."

Chloe comes up to Adrien and asks politely, "Adrien, is it your birthday today?"

Adrien asks in reply, "Yes it is. Why do you ask?"

Chloe replies, "I have a hard time keeping up with people's birthdays."

Chloe managed to wish Adrien a Happy Birthday and promised to get him a nice birthday present he might like.

Marinette then comes up with the scarf and says, "Happy Birthday, Adrien!"

Adrien sees the scarf and blushes while saying, "You shouldn't have."

Adrien takes the scarf and puts it in his bag while saying again, "This'll come in handy for the winter this year."

Marinette and Adrien kissed for about ten seconds before breaking apart.

Suddenly, the Agreste limousine arrives and Adrien says, "Gotta go. Photoshoot."

He gets into the limousine and the long car drives off.

Nino mutters to himself, "Looks like I've got some business to take care of with Adrien's old man."

Just then, Steel Butterfly's voice rings out soothingly in Nino's mind, "I wouldn't if I were you."

Nino looks around and whispers, "(Softly) Who said that?"

Steel Butterfly's voice says again, "Gabriel Agreste is a very strict and controlling old geezer, Nino. Yes, I know who you are through my ability to identify people by looking into their memories and their very souls."

Looking around to make sure that nobody was looking or listening, which there wasn't, Nino asks as he realizes the voice belongs to Steel Butterfly, "(Softly) Dude, why do you think me taking care of business with Adrien's old man is a bad idea?"

Steel Butterfly answers the question somewhat thoroughly, "Gabriel Agreste is very stubborn in the sense that he doesn't entertain the idea of Adrien having a birthday party, he always makes rash decisions to keep Adrien safe without taking Adrien's own opinion or feelings into consideration such as barring any of his friends from entering the Agreste Mansion again, and Gabriel is paranoid in the sense that he always looks at the negatives of certain subjects such as birthday parties. Therefore, Gabriel will NEVER let Adrien have a birthday party, not even if Emilie Agreste were to suddenly organize one behind his back if she were still around. But don't tell Adrien I said that."

Nino assures in reply, "Don't worry, dude, my lips are sealed."

Nino walks away, not knowing that Steel Butterfly was watching from his lair.

But then, Steel Butterfly says to Corvo over his ear piece commlink, "If there's one thing I know about someone like Nino Lahiffe with strong views on how people like Gabriel Agreste can be properly convinced to see things from an outside view, I know for a fact that Nino will still do the exact opposite of what I just told him not to do."

Corvo replies over the ear piece commlink, "Don't worry, Miguel; you'll think of something. You always do."

Meanwhile, at the Agreste Mansion, Nathalie sits down at her desk, thankful that she remembered to get Adrien a birthday present from his father ahead of time... something that threw Steel Butterfly's plan out the window. And he was not happy about it at all, but not to the point where Hawk Moth would detect Miguel's frustration and anger.

The present that Nathalie got for Adrien on her own behalf was nothing more than a printed photo of Steel Butterfly petting Cat Noir like if he was an actual cat. But what Nathalie got for Adrien on Gabriel's behalf was a nice black and white designer's hooded jacket.

Meanwhile, Alya managed to get Adrien's birthday present from her delivered to the Agreste Mansion.

And wouldn't you know it, but it was nothing more than an extensively detailed Dragon Butterfly costume Marinette had made with the help of her "secret assistants," aka Marinette's secret batch of perfected flawless clones and time duplicates.

The extensively detailed replica of Dragon Butterfly's suit of armor also had the same wings that he had in his power-up transformations: a combination of angelic white feathered bird wings, red-brownish demonic bat wings, purplish-pink butterfly wings, and multi-colored dragon wings.

But what nobody noticed during the Stormy Weather incident from thereon is that the dragon aesthetic to Dragon Butterfly's wings shared design elements of different types of dragon wings from any character in fiction that was either a dragon like Saphira from Eragon, had the ability to transform into a dragon like the Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Megatron, the Last Knight Dragonstorm, and the Demon Shredder/Tengu Shredder, the Ninja Tribunal and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the help of their amulets in the fifth season of the 2003 TMNT cartoon, or simply had dragon wings without any additional parts of dragon physiology.

As she had previously put Adrien's present into a fitting mannequin, Nathalie looks upon the Dragon Butterfly costume with a look of interest combined with a small scowl, thus hinting that she will fulfill part of her destiny as Catalyst on Heroes' Day.

Then, Gabriel asks on the intercom, "Who was that, Nathalie?"

Nathalie replies, "One of Adrien's friends. She was delivering a gift for his birthday."

Gabriel asks, "Did you remember to buy him a present from me?"

Nathalie replies emotionlessly, "Yes, I did. I had just came back from getting his present, as a matter of fact."

Gabriel states in a pleased tone, "Excellent work, Nathalie. I'll be along in a few minutes."

The intercom clicks off.

Meanwhile, Gabriel detects Nino's frustration over Adrien not being allowed to have a birthday party.

Gabriel immediately becomes Hawk Moth, and his window opens as he says, "Desperate to help his friend, but feeling powerless. How frustrating! It won't be long before frustration leads to anger!"

Hawk Moth creates another Akuma and finishes, "Fly away, my little Akuma, and Akumatize him! Hopefully, Steel Butterfly won't be there to stop you!"

Oh, but Hawk Moth was in for a big surprise, and he was never gonna be prepared for it in the foreseeable future.

The Akuma flies towards Nino at the Place des Vosges.

The Akuma eventually flies into the park and merges with Nino's bubble wand.

Nino's eyes are surrounded by the all-too familiar butterfly symbol as Hawk Moth monologues, "Hawk Moth is my name, and Bubbler is now yours. I will help you with all these horrid adults and all you have to do in exchange is help me get something from Ladybug, Cat Noir, Steel Butterfly, Lion Hunter, Rhinocharge, Blueclaw, Corvo and Cat Knight. Do we have a deal?"

Nino Lahiffe/The Bubbler replies, "Yes, Hawk Moth."

Nino becomes The Bubbler, completely unaware that Steel Butterfly had placed several news filming camera drones across the city to prepare all of Paris to watch him reprogram The Bubbler into Birthday Monarch.

Bubbler flies onto a rooftop and crouches as he gets a good look at his desired targets.

Bubbler declares to himself, "No more adults means total freedom! This is SOOO sweet!"

Bubbler takes out his bubble sword and flies over Paris, leaving a trail of purple bubbles behind him wherever he goes.

However, before the bubbles can make impact with their targets, multiple Steel Butterfly clones pop the bubbles as quickly as possible while laughing maniacally.

Bubbler sees what's going on and says, "Good. More adults for me to dispose of."

However, as the world plays out in slow motion, Steel Butterfly releases a Tenshi and it merges with Bubbler's bubble sword.

As the world goes back to normal, both Bubbler and Hawk Moth feel massive headaches from the Tenshi and Akuma fighting for control over Bubbler.

In his lair, Hawk Moth asks demandingly and in pain, "AAAGGGHHH! What is this?! The pain is excruciating!"

Steel Butterfly says through Bubbler as he's one hundred percent reprogrammed in under ten seconds, "The Bubbler's been permanently disconnected, Hawk Moth! Say hello to Birthday Monarch!"

Bubbler transforms into an armored, butterfly-themed opposite of himself with different aspects of his appearance related to birthdays.

Birthday Monarch and Steel Butterfly laugh maniacally as Hawk Moth's Akuma is purified and is sent on its way to Steel Butterfly's lair without Hawk Moth able to detect it.

Hawk Moth is flabbergasted as he asks demandingly, "How is that possible?! How did that wretched excuse of a butterfly manage to reprogram my newest villain?! Oh, this isn't over yet! I'll be victorious sooner or later!"

The window to Hawk Moth's lair closes yet again, engulfing Hawk Moth's lair in darkness once again.

Hawk Moth detransforms and Gabriel sets out to have lunch with Adrien, much to Adrien's surprise.

After Adrien's surprisingly great birthday lunch, Steel Butterfly secretly whisks the young model away to the building Miguel Guevara lives in – which coincidentally houses Steel Butterfly's primary booby-trapped lair – and shows Adrien just what he had hoped for: a birthday party.

But Steel Butterfly had to make sure that it was small enough to not attract the wrong kind of attention, i.e. the media, Gabriel and the Parisian Police Department. Part of that involved using a perfected flawless Adrien clone.

Steel Butterfly smugly and proudly explained that he had Birthday Monarch help him with the entire setup.

For Adrien, he could easily see for himself that there was different kinds of food here with all sorts of handwritten labels: cheeseburgers with optional dairy-free cheeses, bacon cheeseburgers, boneless brisket, boneless steak, boneless grilled chicken breasts, cooked vegetable platters, fruit kebabs, fruit salads, grilled cheese sandwiches, ham and cheese sandwiches, pastrami and cheese sandwiches, ham, salami and cheese sandwiches, turkey and cheese sandwiches, roast beef and cheese sandwiches, roast beef, beef salami and cheese sandwiches, boneless ribs, boneless pork chops, biscuits, French fries, dark chocolate candies, chocolate chip cookies without nuts, oatmeal raisin cookies, Oreo cookies, peanut butter cookies, potato crisps, homemade pizzas, homemade brown rice, homemade yellow rice, slices of spam, corned beef, Reuben sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, Cuban sandwiches, BLT sandwiches with some ingredients changed in case of allergies and religious beliefs about certain foods, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, club sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, double chocolate chip pancakes for dessert, different ice cream flavors, cheese and cracker platters, hummus and pita chips, meat and cheese trays, popcorn, pretzels, falafels, make-your-own taco bars, make-your-own salad bars, slider bars, pasta of different kinds which includes spaghetti and meatballs, an assortment of pies, chocolate fondue, ice cream sundaes, waffle bars, s'mores, and baked macaroni and cheese.

There was even different types of cake in separate slices for Adrien to try and for everyone to have a piece of cake.

There were also traditional birthday party games for teenagers, but Miguel didn't get in the way if Adrien was gonna play "Pin the tail on the donkey."

As for everyone enjoying the food, Marinette stayed away from the meat options since she was still a vegan, and Miguel stayed away from the junk food options since he hates junk food and is on a strict, nutritional diet.

About an hour and a half passes and the small impromptu birthday party kicks off with some slow dancing, and Marinette and Adrien experienced their first romantical kiss.

In the end, nobody outside of the Parisian Heroes and the Akuma Class had known about Adrien's birthday party, and Adrien was fully satisfied.

Of course, since there was still so much food leftover, Miguel had no choice but to eat it all in super speed, even the junk food he hated.

But thankfully enough for the Heroes of Paris and for Adrien in particular, their little patrol throughout the city was more than capable of helping them burn off the excessive calories.

Everybody was happy, except for Hawk Moth.

Eventually, Steel Butterfly detenshized Birthday Monarch and sent him on his way through usage of time travel by sending a normal Nino Lahiffe home just five minutes before he was reprogrammed without being seen by anyone and without the timeline being affected in any way possible.

The next day, Adrien tried on his Dragon Butterfly costume, and got used to the feeling of it to the point where he decided to dress up as Dragon Butterfly for Halloween.

(Steel Butterfly's voice-over POV as he writes in his Rorschach-inspired journal later that night in his lair...)

Steel Butterfly's journal.

April 13th, 2015.

So far, things are looking up.

Adrien finally got the birthday party he wanted, even though we had to start off small so as to not attract attention from Gabriel, the Parisian Police Department, my neighbors, and the media.

Adrien thanked me profusely, much to my amusement.

In any case, it's only a matter of time before Hawk Moth strikes with Rogercop at his command.

But like I said in my previous journal entry before today and before yesterday, I will strike back with a RoboCop of my own.

Like I said many times before, it's only a matter of time.

And in any case, I got a secret that I didn't share with even Master Fu and Wayzz.

I recruited even more Miraculous users to be used as my black ops unit.

They consisted of Abraham Adnet, also known as Harrier with the Sparrowhawk Miraculous and the Sparrowhawk Kwami Arroww with the ability to paralyze anyone with a sonic bird call.

Adelaide Alaphilippe, also known as Mariposa Paloma with an alternate universe version of the original Butterfly Miraculous and with an alternate universe version of Nooroo by her side, along with the same powers and abilities of Hawk Moth.

Alvin Allaire, also known as Buitre Negro with the Vulture Miraculous and the Vulture Kwami Huunter with the ability to track down anyone that has to be found, and the ability to turn enemies into hunting servants in regards to hunting supervillains and criminals alike.

Babette Arceneaux, also known as Angel Hawk with the Hawk Miraculous and the Hawk Kwami Zeeke with the ability to summon a kettle of hawks to assist the holder in battle.

Anatole Belanger, also known as Saint Hawk with the Caracara Miraculous and the Caracara Kwami Ozz with the ability to make miracles from the Bible come to life, hence part of his superhero name.

Benedicte Asselineau, also known as Red Griffon with the Griffon Miraculous and the Griffon Kwami Legendd with the ability to manifest electric replicas of legendary people from folklore, comic books and mythology come to life for a limited amount of time.

Gerbaud Belorgey, also known as Dark Dove with the Dove Miraculous and the Dove Kwami Olivve with the ability to replace internal hatred into love via emotion manipulation.

Zabdiel Cantrell, also known as Bright Partridge and the Culver Kwami Patty with the ability to manipulate wind currents to use as weapons and the ability to use the various powers of every Akumatized supervillain in existence without limit.

Brigitte Audebert, also known as Jetbird with the Blackbird Miraculous and the Blackbird Kwami Shaadow with the ability to heal anyone of any injury and the ability to use darkness to blind an enemy.

Blaise Berengar, also known as Kestreleye with an alternate timeline version of the Falcon Miraculous and the Falcon Kwami Waander with the ability to summon a suit of armor for himself and for any one Miraculous holder with no armor and whose near-invulnerability was useless against a powerful opponent who can bypass anyone who's nearly invulnerable, in addition to the ability to move at hyper speed.

Clementine Bachelot, also known as White Lark with the Canary Miraculous and the Canary Kwami Songg with the ability to weaken an enemy by a simple scratch with a pair of swords eerily similar to the Cursed Twin Blades of Vengeance, thereby cursing anyone who got scratched or cut by the blades with misfortune.

Zipporah Krause, also known as Jackbird with the Magpie Miraculous and the Magpie Kwami Blabber. Jackbird's Miraculous gives her supernatural wits and also allows her to increase the intelligence of anyone of her choosing for a set amount of time that she alone specifies. She also has the ability to fly.

Then there's Zorawar Quinones aka Buzzard Hawk with the Red-Tailed Hawk Miraculous and the Red-Tailed Hawk Kwami known as Zevve. In addition to granting him the ability to fly, Buzzard Hawk's Miraculous gives him superhuman strength and courage inducement.

In addition to that, there's also Zayda Becerra, better known as Skeeter with the Dragonfly Miraculous and the Dragonfly Kwami Dayfly. In addition to being able to fly, Skeeter's Miraculous allows her to adapt to anything possible. Including, but not limited to, attacks and techniques, movements, advantages, being in another body, courses of action, body damages, armor damages, any environments, physical forces, and even physical laws.

Next to that, there will also be Zahir Velasco aka Ringtail with the Flamingo Miraculous and the Flamingo Kwami Fiinnch. Aside from being able to fly, he has the ability to manipulate balance/equilibrium in all forms.

Furthermore, there will also be Yunus Hatfield aka Parakeet with the Parrot Miraculous and the Parrot Kwami Coppy. Aside from being able to fly, he has the ability to copy the powers and abilities of anyone he touches for a long period of time, like the Sentimonster Strikeback.

Additionally, there will be Yuritzi Cardona, otherwise known as Scarab with the Beetle Miraculous and the Beetle Kwami Buggy. In addition to her power of flight, she has the ability to regenerate severed limbs and the ability to infect her enemies with a venomous bite that incapacitates them for a short period of time, long enough for them to be apprehended or deakumatized in the case of Akumatized villains.

Next to that, there will also be Yahya Osborn, otherwise known as Firefly with the Firefly Miraculous and the Firefly Kwami Caandle. Not only does he have the ability to fly, but he also has the same magical powers as many magic practitioners from comic books and the ability to unleash a bright light that blinds his enemies for five minutes or more, depending on whether his Miraculous is being used by an adult or a minor. But this superpower doesn't affect his allies unless they're brainwashed or turned rogue.

On top of that, there will be Yulissa Byers, otherwise known as Gryphus with the Condor Miraculous and the Condor Kwami Lyynx. Apart from being able to fly, she has the ability to replicate anyone's fighting style for a set amount of time that she specifies.

Next to that, there's also Yatziri Springer aka Blackhawk with the Harrier Miraculous and the Harrier Kwami Biirrd. Aside from being able to fly, Blackhawk has the ability to manipulate the perseverance, persistence and endurance of herself and just about anyone.

Then, there will be Wolfgang Maloney, also known as Red Wader with the Sandhill Crane Miraculous and the Sandhill Crane Kwami known as Derrick.

I know about Master Fu's rules, but I don't care about some of them. Point is, we're gonna need all the help we can get. Especially on Heroes' Day.

Either way, like I've been telling Ryoka, I hope Master Fu and I know what we're doing.

And besides, considering the fact that I have a distinct feeling that Scarlet Moth will attempt to recruit more and more supervillains than usual for the Battle of the Scarlet Army in this timeline, suffice to say we're going to need all the extra help we can get.

I hope that Master Fu can forgive me for going behind his back about this, but sometimes his rules are really skewed and screwed, such as the fact that there cannot be multiple Miraculouses handed out to permanent holders while the chances of Hawk Moth increasing his ranks or Akumatizing said Miraculous holders can increase a thousand fold.

But all the same, I still trust Master Fu, and I will certainly miss him again when he loses his memories.

Though then again, a Rooster Miraculous tomfoolery fanfiction revealed that the Rooster Miraculous is perfectly capable of restoring all sorts of erased memories, including the memories erased by a monk from the Order of the Guardians passing ownership of a Miracle Box onto their chosen successor.

Yeah, maybe I'll miss Master Fu when he dies of old age.

But I'm not going to get sentimental over a journal entry just in case my tears wet the pages.

In any case, I happen to have a good feeling for the future post Hawk Moth, but also a bad feeling.

That stems from the fact that, for thirty-two thousand and fifty-six years, I've seen many supervillains burn to the ground, only for their successors – friends or family – rise from the ashes to take over where they left off.

But on the other hand, I have a good feeling because, pretty soon, not only will Hawk Moth and all of his allies in the past, present and future be put in prison for their crimes as long as they've already been committed, but also we won't have to worry about anyone foolishly attempting to take Gabriel's place as Hawk Moth of the future in case Nathalie Sancoeur, Emilie Agreste, Amelie Graham de Vanily, Lila Rossi or Felix Graham de Vanily Fathom are unable to fulfill that role.

And I have a good feeling because pretty soon, the Order of the Guardians will be fully restored to its former glory and they will adjust well to the modern age.

But I can only hope that the Guardians who follow Grandmaster Su-Han's overbearingly strict rules won't cause much of a hassle over the events of this timeline as well as the wars that they missed.

In any case, the next Akumatization to prepare for – barring anyone who takes The Bubbler's place in the meantime – is Officer Roger Raincomprix, also known as Rogercop. A complete mockery of the true RoboCop, Alexander James Murphy.

Of course, if there are any Akumatized villains who show up before Rogercop does, suffice to say I'll have to allow my primary teammates take care of them.

And of course, twice a year, I ponder one of the hardest conundrums that Rorschach tends to theorize once a year in his universes.

And that conundrum would be this: which of the following arrived first? Were all these men and women of the 21st century just like Atlas of mythology, working to make the world fruitful and desperately searching for their successors among the masses and finally dying with no one to take over where they left off, leaving everyone in our family bloodlines of the past, the present, and the future to fall down into depravity?

Or did the forces of gray compromising take an active approach in the whole time frame, setting loose their snarling dogs and hunting every one of those people down, one by one, until there was no one left all to make way for a sinister master plan that could prove to be the end of everything?

And if the latter theory is true, when did this hunting game start? And has all of history that has been recorded so far been nothing short of a slow motion, steady, straight slide into the darkest abyss where death by darkness is possible no matter if it's a fictional superpower or not?

Clearly, someone's mental state is starting to degrade, but the big question is who? Who's mental state is beginning to deteriorate?

(Third person POV...)

The next day, as Miguel Guevara was coming home from his yoga and martial arts classes, he sees up ahead a familiar-looking young girl.

Quickly concealing himself, Miguel scans the girl's face, and his eyes widened when he realizes just who he's seeing.

It was Lila Rossi, also known as Volpina, Chameleon, and Hawk Moth II far into the future after The Last Day Part 2.

Miguel growls silently as he scowls at the girl who caused his favorite hero so much trouble starting on May 21st of this year.

Leppey pops up and whispers, "(Softly) What should we do, Miguel?"

Miguel whispers in response, "(Softly) Well, we can't just expose Lila's lies right now. Can't risk an unforeseen change to the timeline. Besides, I can't have Lila gunning for me in my civilian form or in my superhero form. Especially my civilian form."

Miguel continues watching as Lila and her mother vanished from sight, unnoticed by everyone else.

Suddenly, Miguel hears sirens wailing.

Miguel runs further into the alleyway and rips off his trench coat, transforming into Steel Butterfly, Superman-style.

Seeing up ahead another new non-canon Akumatized villain, Steel Butterfly got himself ready for finding someone to Tenshize.

The latest Akumatized supervillain calls out as he unleashes robotic attack drones inspired by the various Power Rangers supervillains to attack people on the streets and set buildings on fire, "Feel the fiery robotic wrath of General Death!"

Steel Butterfly remarks to himself, "General Death? Oh, please. Like that's original."

Leppey then questions in Steel Butterfly's head, "I thought that this cartoon universe wouldn't ever show fire or any form of death other than Cat Blanc's Mega Cataclysm Angst Nuke until the Elation episode of season 5 in the original timeline for fire to be shown?"

Steel Butterfly answers honestly while making sure that he's alone in the alleyway's primary exit, "That's the gist of it, but that's only if Hawk Moth, Mayura, and Future Hawk Moth aren't apprehended on Heroes' Day this year like they weren't apprehended that soon in the original timeline. But I think that because of my presence here and my unintentional attempts at what fanfiction writers call '"worldbuilding,"' certain teenage and adult things from all other works of fiction such as uncensored swearing, fire, and so forth that even Thomas Astruc wouldn't ever dare to display on a kids' show are starting to come into existence specifically in this alternative timeline of the Quantic Universe iteration of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. And technically, because Miraculous Ladybug is a show for kids, showing actual murder that is seen in horror movies or in any form of real life in this universe or my universe is not exactly going to sit well with the young audience."

Leppey made a noise of understanding.

Seeing that General Death's robots were wreaking havoc more than Hawk Moth's villains ever did throughout seasons 1-5 with the exception of Cat Blanc, Miracle Queen, Glaciator, Risk and Strikeback among others, Steel Butterfly then says, "Well, time to bring in my other contact."

Steel Butterfly makes a Tenshi and says, "Fly away, my Tenshi, and find Hewitt Airoldi immediately!"

The Tenshi flies off to the 8th Arrondisment where the Akuma Shelter is, smack dab near the Arc de Triomphe.

Once the Tenshi discreetly merges with Hewitt's finger armor ring on his right index finger, Steel Butterfly says, "Super Bullet, I am Steel Butterfly. I'm granting you the ability to use bullets of different materials and energy types to get rid of General Death's robot army as well as the ability to put out fires and revive dead people. All I need from you is assistance in deakumatizing General Death. Can you provide an old friend some assistance?"

Hewitt/Super Bullet answers, "You got it, SB."

Hewitt is turned into Super Bullet, a hybrid combination of the Cosmic Armor Superman, the Injustice 2 Superman in all of his armors, and Bulletman.

Super Bullet remarks, "I'm going to need materials."

Steel Butterfly teleports in front of his new champion and magically manifests metal and other kinds of containers of materials and energy.

Super Bullet states gratefully, "Well, thank you, sir."

Super Bullet turns the materials and energy containers into bullets of varying types for his guns and loads his guns onto his person, making him look like different superhero/supervillain walking arsenals.

Steel Butterfly then says, "Now, let's go stop General Death."

The twosome flies off, searching high and low for General Death himself.

It wasn't hard for them to find General Death, simply because he looks like Doctor Death wearing General Zod's Kryptonian battle armor from Man of Steel combined with the mechanized battle suit that The Rhino uses in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, except without anything related to rhinos in terms of mobility or appearance.

Steel Butterfly calls out while Super Bullet is dealing with the robot army and the fires, "General Death! Enough is enough! Come and fight me!"

General Death replies in Doctor Death's voice combined with the Man of Steel General Zod's voice, "So, Steel Butterfly has finally come out to play, huh? Well, happy to oblige! But first..."

General Death points to a street below, and Steel Butterfly sees... Corvo being impaled on a greatsword-shaped piece of a pipe!

General Death remarks mockingly as Steel Butterfly stares in horror and anger, "Now, put up more of a fight than your girlfriend did."

Steel Butterfly roars in extreme burning rage in his signature Ghost Rider voice before flying towards General Death.

General Death blasts Steel Butterfly with a solar energy-filled bolt of electricity, but Steel Butterfly barrels through it thanks to his invulnerability.

Steel Butterfly does a double-spinning kick before punching down General Death's head, making him crash to the ground.

General Death zaps at Steel Butterfly with bolts of electricity, streams of fire, and cooked hand grenades, but Steel Butterfly sprints away from the projectiles in the same angle and position that a Japanese ninja is seen in when the ninja sprints.

Steel Butterfly deploys from his vambraces chained spears like the ones Scorpion from Mortal Kombat uses, and Steel Butterfly makes the chained spears wrap around General Death before charging the spears with electricity.

General Death blubbers as he gets electrocuted and then falls unconscious, much to Steel Butterfly's confusion and surprise.

And if that didn't confuse and surprise Steel Butterfly enough, General Death's army malfunctioned and powered down.

Steel Butterfly remarks, "Oh well."

Steel Butterfly scans General Death and discovers his helmet is the Akumatized object.

Steel Butterfly removes the helmet and crushes it in just one hand, thankful that he has godlike invulnerability.

Steel Butterfly purifies the Akuma and unleashes his Miraculous Butterfly cure, reviving everyone killed and repairing everything burned and otherwise destroyed in the Akuma attack.

Corvo says in the short distance, "Ough. I'm never fighting a nearly unstoppable army of robots again."

Steel Butterfly flies over and gently bear hugs Corvo, taking her by surprise.

Corvo questions, "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

Steel Butterfly cries softly, giving Corvo the answer to her question.

Corvo hugs Steel Butterfly in reciprocation, and she subtly notices reporters, including Alya, taking pictures and videos of the whole thing.

Alya remarks, "Whoa. I've never seen Steel Butterfly cry before."

Steel Butterfly suddenly breaks the hug and turns to everyone with an extremely scary vampire/dragon scowl on his face.

Everyone immediately runs away with only a few young reporters shrieking like their lives were on the line.

Steel Butterfly calls out, "Next time and from now on into the future, give a superhero privacy to grieve in peace!"

Of course, even Purple Changer was willing to stream that last part onto the internet thanks to Venus Avian having created an Optigami Sentimonster to film Steel Butterfly's grief moment turned embarrassed anger moment.
