Astrid was having a sleepover at Alya's house currently she was still asleep in Alya's bed as she had a tough fight against an akuma last night but right now Astrid was having a nightmare

In Astrid's nightmare

Astrid was standing on a green field where she couldn't see anything for miles then she heard a roar the same roar that killed her uncle and the made the Hofferson's go from fearless to fear, so she looks up and saw the Flightmare.

"Here I am flightmare Fearless Astrid Hofferson will get my revenge for what you did against my Uncle Finn! Astrid shouted at the Flightmare then she saw something drop from its back as it landed in front of her making dust come up so Astrid covered her eyes so no dust can go in her eyes and when the dust settled, she saw something that would be her nightmare forever Chat Blanc

"Hello Milady time, no see." Chat Blanc said as he walks towards Astrid who was walking backwards until she crashes into something hard, so she looks behind her and saw the Flightmare behind her

"You are just my Nightmare I de-akumatized in the alternate timeline, so you don't exist anymore." Astrid said getting the courage to stand up to Chat Blanc

"You may have saved me, but I'll haunt you for life until the day you die so in retrospect you didn't get rid of me." Chat said as he grabbed Astrid by her chin

"What are you going to do to me?" Astrid asked with a bit of fear in her voice

"I can hurt you in your dream world but don't worry your normal body would be still alright." Chat said as he made 4 claw marks alone her cheek then Chat Blanc and the Flightmare disappeared as Shadow Moth appeared in front of her with her team in front of her defeated

"What a shame I have defeated your team fearless Ladybug what are you going to do about it." Shadow Moth said as he picked up Rena Rouge then he put one hand under Rena's chin then the other behind her head

"I'm still going to defeat you and take your Miraculous then you will be locked up in jail for the rest of your life." Astrid growled

"Are you going to attack me when I have your friend in a very delict manner one wrong move her neck goes snap." Shadow Moth said

"What do you want Shadow Moth?" Astrid asked

"Your earrings and this nightmare end." Shadow Moth said as he held his hand up then her friends stood up and walked over to her with their hands out ready to grab her earrings then she saw Chat Blanc coming over to her

"It's time for you to wake up." Chat said as he Cataclysm the floor making Astrid full down making her wake up as she saw her clothes stinking to her body as she was covered in sweet

"Thank fuck, it was only a nightmare but now I need a shower." Astrid said then she saw what the time was and saw it was 11.30 am

"I have another 30 minutes until lunch so a quick shower to wash off the sweat would do me good." Astrid said then she saw Tikki, Trixx and Roarr sleeping in their makeshift beds Astrid created for them then Alya and Juleka entered

"Astrid you are awake I thought you need another hour of sleep after that tough akuma fight last night." Juleka said

"I just woke up after having a nightmare, so I was going to have a shower if it's alright with you Alya." Astrid said

"It's fine girl but what was your nightmare about?" Alya asked

"It was about Shadow Moth defeating you guys and Alya he had you in a headlock about to kill you by breaking your neck and he told me for this nightmare to end that I need to hand over my earrings then Chat Blanc came over and told to wake up as he Cataclysm the floor where I fell which made me woke up." Astrid said

"Don't worry we are close to defeating Shadow Moth we need him somewhere, where you can sting him so you can grab his Miraculous without him trying to get yours." Alya said as she put her hand on Astrid's bare shoulder

"Yeah, but first, I need a shower since my clothes are sticking to my skin." Astrid said as she went into her bag and got out her clothes then she walked to the door but before she could exit Alya stopped her

"Astrid be careful if you go out there Hannibal escaped his enclosure." Alya warned as they heard Astrid gulp then she nodded as she exited out as she saw Alya's family looking for the spider

"Where can that slippery bugger go?" Otis asked as he scratched his head then he saw Astrid

"Hey Astrid, don't mind us we just looking for Hannibal." Otis said

"Okay I'll be using your shower if that's alright with you." Astrid said as Otis nodded his head then he went back searching for Hannibal as Astrid went to the bathroom where she put her clothes on the sink then she turned on the shower as she strips her clothes off

15 minutes later Astrid finished cleaning herself as she turned the shower off then she grabbed a towel where she dried her body and hair then she put on her clean clothes and after she was done, she unlocked the door then as she was about to turn the light off she saw Hannibal crawling down the wall so she screamed and ran out if the bathroom as the Cesaire family came over as they saw Astrid pointing inside the bathroom as she get her heart back to normal

"Hannibal is in the bathroom near the light switch." Astrid huffed out as she walks into Alya's bedroom then she put her dirty clothes into a plastic bag then she sat down onto Alya's bed as Alya and Juleka walks in and sat next to Astrid on both sides as they hug her

"That was a scary experience, Hannibal being in the bathroom with me, I don't want to know what would happen if he came into the shower with me." Astrid said

"Don't worry Hannibal is quite harmless he hasn't hurt anyone before." Alya said then the phone rang

"It's not getting bitten by the spider that creeps me up it's the creepy legs and eyes it has." Astrid said as she felt a shiver up her spine then the phone rang again as Alya got mad, so she walks out her door and saw no one was there

"Where is everyone?" Alya asked confused as she picks up the phone

"Hello." Alya said then she good scared as Shadow Moth's voice was heard on the other end

"Hello Rena Rouge." Shadow Moth said

"Shadow Moth how did you get my number and how did you know I'm Rena Rouge." Alya said then she saw bubbler standing on her bench

"Nino you got akumatized what made you get akumatized?" Alya asked

"Isn't Nino on holiday according to his social media so how did he get akumatized?" Juleka whispered asked to Astrid

"Because that isn't Nino it's a Senti-monster, so I need you to alert our team and tell them what is happening and stay here I want to see what is happening, Tikki I need you in my purse, Trixx I need you to hide in the walls and keep an eye on Alya in case she needs to transform and Roaar stay here with Juleka this could be the day Shadow Moth will be finally defeated since he has to stay close and watch out his senti-monster is doing." Astrid whispered her plan as the kwami's went in different areas

Astrid sneak over to the door then she leaned her head out and saw Alya standing with the phone in her hand as senti-bubbler was standing there so Astrid communicated with Alya through telepath

"Alya, I need you to keep senti-bubbler busy and try trick him that you don't have the fox miraculous anymore, I know you can do it because you are Rena Rouge master of illusions and lies." Astrid said through telepath

"Thanks girl don't worry I got it." Alya said as she cut off the link

Senti-bubbler saw someone behind Alya and saw Astrid behind saw he sent a bubble to her capturing her which made her give off a squeak of surprise

"What the." Alya said as she turned around and saw Astrid in a bubble

"Give back my friend! Alya shouted madly then she bubbler give her the phone signal as the bubble holding Astrid drifted outside to where Alya's family was as Alya held the phone to her ear as she heard the voice she hates so much

"If you want your family and friends back, I need you to betray Ladybug's team so I can capture all of their Miraculous and I can finally rule the world." Shadow Moth said as he evilly laughed

"Ladybug wouldn't be stupid to fall for this trap." Alya said as she saw Bubbler drop down to the other side of the bench into the kitchen

"She will because are you not her best friend." Shadow Moth said

"No that's Lila." Alya lied

"Really how can Lila be her friend when she has been working for me how do you think I got your secret identity Rena Rouge." Shadow Moth said

"By Lila who dated Nino so he would give up any secrets about the Miraculous which he did since he trusted her." Alya said as her eyes watered up

'So, I'm going to ask you do the same thing betray Ladybug and you can stay as Rena Rouge for as long as you need." Shadow Moth said as he smiled thinking he got her to betray Ladybug

Alya connected the telepath to Astrid to tell her the plan

"Astrid Shadow Moth wants me to betray you by capturing you Miraculous." Alya said though the link

"Alya call out for Ladybug then walk towards the table then trip so the table stands which will block senti-bubblers view of you transform into Rena Rouge and create an illusion of yourself going toilet so when the bubbler's back to you I want you to sneak into a room which Trixx's favorite foods, so you can transform and de-transform, this might be a very contemplated plan we have ever made." Astrid said

"Okay I'll do that." Alya said as she cut off the link

Alya put the phone then she walked over to the balcony where Trixx secretly went into her waist bag she pops her head up

"Alya what is the plan?" Trixx asked

"We're going to fool the bubbler and Shadow Moth that I am not going to get the fox Miraculous anymore but to do that I need to get your grapes." Alya said then she shouted out Ladybug's name

"Get ready Trixx today is the day Shadow Moth will be defeated." Alya said then she turned as she started the toilet dance

"Bubbler can I go toilet all of this nervousness is making me want pee." Alya said as she made her dance faster

Shadow Moth said no into the cup which made the Bubbler say no as well

"You don't want Ladybug to know what is happening and get suspicious do you." Alya said as she walks over then she trips into the table making block the bubbler's vision as Alya transform into Rena Rouge where she created an illusion of herself where she appeared out from behind the table where Rena hid behind the bench as the illusion Alya walks into the toilets

"You have 30 seconds then I'll be coming in there." Senti-bubbler said as Alya went into the bathroom as Rena sneak past where she picked up the grapes then she walks into her sister's bedroom as she quietly closes the door and she put something underneath so no one sees the light as she de-transforms

"Trixx we got to get Shadow Moth in an area where Astrid can teleport and sting him so she can get both of the Miraculous and the police can arrest him as they see him de-transform in front of the Miraculous blog cameras which I should also text them to tell them what's going to happen." Alya said as she gave Trixx a grape

"We can finally be reunited to have Nooroo and Dussu in the Miraculous box." Trixx said as she finished her eating her grape

"Alright Trixx, Let's pounce." Alya said as she transformed into Rena Rouge then she texted her boss to tell them where Shadow Moth will be when he gets defeated then she created two illusions one of Ladybug then Alya who was still in the bathroom

Alya walks out of the bathroom then she stopped in front of The Bubbler

"Remember the plan you get the Fox Miraculous from Ladybug so I can capture her in my bubble." Bubbler said as he went into Nora's room where he kept open slightly so he can see out

The illusion of Ladybug arrived to Alya's house where she stood in front of the illusion Alya so Rena started to talk which made the illusion's talk as well

"Alya, I heard you shouting out my name, what is happening?" Ladybug asked

"My family has been captured by The Bubbler." Alya said

"I knew this day would come; Shadow Moth is trying to capture me by giving you the Fox Miraculous so you can betray me, I'm sorry Alya but I can't give you the Fox Miraculous back which would be such shame since you were the best fox hero I have recruited." Ladybug said

"What! That wasn't part of the plan." Shadow Moth said in shock at how quickly his plan was fulling apart

"Should I capture her right now?" Senti-bubbler asked as he grab his wand

"No not yet keep watching." Shadow Moth said

"It's alright Ladybug, you can find another Fox hero." Alya said

"No the Fox Miraculous is hot at the moment so I need it to cool down so I'm going to give a much more powerful Miraculous that is more powerful then my own to someone I can trust." Ladybug said as she exited out of the house

"A much powerful miraculous then her own, I must have this Miraculous." Shadow Moth said as he followed Ladybug who was also being followed by the Bubbler

Chat Noir was being held down by the heroes, so he doesn't ruin Marinette and Alya's plan then they saw Shadow Moth and The Bubbler chasing after the illusion of Ladybug

"Chat I need you to distract Senti-Bubbler before he ruins Ladybug's plan." Ryuko said

"Why are you guys know what Ladybug is planning but not me I have been her partner for longer." Chat grumpily said

"Chat do you want to keep your remaining nine lives." Ryuko threated as she gave Chat a glare which Chat saw

"Yes, I'll stop him, please don't cut my nine lives away." Chat whimpered as he stood up and ran after the Bubbler which he took out his staff and smack Bubbler over his head

"Hands off from Milady.' Chat said as he blocks an attack from the Bubbler

"This is even better Chat Noir has arrived to the scene, Bubbler I want you to capture Chat Noir while I go after Ladybug." Shadow Moth said as he followed Ladybug into an alleyway and saw she wasn't there, so he punched the wall leaving a crack in its place but what he doesn't know is

"Senti-Bubbler Ladybug tricked us she created an illusion of herself so you better capture Chat Noir." Shadow Moth said not knowing that he is being live recorded for the Miraculous blog and Astrid watching over him

Senti-Bubbler sent explosives bubbles towards Chat Noir who had trouble blocking then until one went through his defensives as it exploded when it his body which sent him flying towards Senti-Bubbler as he lost his staff then the Bubbler caught him in a bubble where he floated up next to Astrid then he used his power to pop the bubble then he did couple of tricks but the bubbler caught him in another bubble and he went back up next to Astrid who face-palmed

"(What a fucking idiot but at least my plan won't be affected.)" Astrid thought then she heard her phone ding as she read the message then she smiled

"(Time to defeat Shadow Moth.)" Astrid thought then an illusion of herself appeared

"What's happening Astrid?' Tikki asked

"It seems like Rena created an illusion of myself being helpless that I am stuck in a bubble, so that means it's time for the next part of the plan defeat Shadow Moth." Astrid said as she brought out the Horse and Bee Miraculous

"Tikki. Spots on. Astrid whispered as she transformed in Ladybug

Tikki, Kaalki, Pollen unify." Ladybug whispered as she transformed in Pegabee

"Venom." Pegabee whispered as she got the spinning top

"Voyage." Pegabee whispered as it opened up above Shadow Moth, so she dropped down through the portal where she stung Shadow Moth on his back where he froze

"Your reign of terror has ended Shadow Moth let's bring you out into the open, so people see who you truly are." Pegabee said as she carried Shadow Moth out into the open where multiple cameras were filmed on to her

"People of Paris you have being suppressing your negative emotions for to long so I am going to show who's be behind the attacks." Pegabee said as she took off the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous at the same time then she grabs the coffee cup as Shadow Moth de-transformed into Gabriel Agreste, so Pegabee went far away from Gabriel has the venom disappeared then he looked around and saw cameras were filmed on him then he saw he wasn't transformed as he saw Pegabee who was smiling as she grappled to the roof

"Fuck you Ladybug, I will get my revenge when I get out of prison! Gabriel said as multiple cops tackled him and arrested him

"Senti-Bubbler bring down the hostages." Pegabee ordered as Senti-Bubbler did as ordered as every bubble went down to the ground as Rena made the illusion of Astrid disappeared

Pegabee's hero friends landed next to her as the Bee and Horse Miraculous beep their last warning and she de-transformed back into Ladybug then she put the 4 Miraculous back into the miracle box

"We finally did it we defeated Shadow Moth and got his Miraculous back." Polymouse said

"Yeah, now all of Paris can finally relax without having to fear if they will get akumatized." Viperion said then Chat Noir landed next to them

"Hello Milady and fakes now that Shadow Moth is defeated how about we reveal our identities." Chat said as he came over to Ladybug

"You first Chat." Ladybug said as she gave a signal to her team to go behind Chat Noir

"Okay then, Claws in." Chat said as he de-transformed into Adrien then Ladybug gave the signal to her team as they grab Adrien's arm the Ladybug took the Cat Miraculous away from him

"Ladybug why are you doing this I thought we were partners." Adrien said

"I have been watching you Adrien in your civilian form and I was disgusted at what you have become." Ladybug said

"What do you mean I haven't done anything wrong?" Adrien asked confused

"Really my team have been watching you and let me tell you, you have been letting Lila lie to the whole class for months making them promise stuff that she wouldn't deliver on and you told someone called Marinette to keep quiet about it." Ladybug said

"Yick, that fucking bitch she should had listened to me and take the high road and ignore Lila's lies." Adrien said with a disgusted face

"That bitch you are talking about took her own life and Lila has been working with Shadow Moth this whole time." Rena said as she came over

"No Lila said Marinette has been working for Shadow Moth this whole time and she told you considering that you are best friends with her." Adrien said

"Ha, Lila told you that, funny we have been recording her make secret deals with Gabriel Agreste and Shadow Moth we even got her grabbing the akuma's out of the air and it will be on the Miraculous Blog." Caprikid said

"We even got you slacking off from your hero duties instead of being a hero." Purple Tigress said

"Come on guys let's leave the failure up here." Ladybug said as she grappled her yo-yo to the nearest chimney

"What the about the property damage he caused?" Ryuko asked as she pointed at Adrien

"Let him pay for it he was the one who caused the damage and he's rich, so it doesn't matter." Ladybug said as she grappled away then her team followed behind as a ladder went up against the roof as reporters climb up after one another as they bombard Adrien with questions

Ladybug and her team arrived to Astrid's penthouse where they de-transformed and went to Astrid's liquor cabinet and got out whisky and shot glasses

"We are celebrating tonight! Alya shouted as the others cheered but Astrid was quite worried

"Aren't we a bit young for liquor?" Astrid asked bit worried they would do something stupid while under the influence of alcohol

"Don't be a worry sport, live a little and relax for once." Juleka said as she took a shot of whisky

"Sorry guys but I'm going to be drinking fizzy and water." Astrid said as she opened up a can of sprite

2 hours later

Ladybug was following her team who were drunk and still carrying bottles of alcohol as they swerved around on the roof tops then Ladybug saw the media filming them, so she went down and saw it was Nadia the person who she trusts the most

"Ladybug, what is happening with your team?" Nadia asked

"Let's just say they celebrated a bit to hard after defeating Shadow Moth." Ladybug said

"Then how come you didn't take any alcohol?" Nadia asked

"I don't like the taste of alcohol, that's why I stick to fizzy or water which is better." Ladybug said

"How are you going to get them home tonight?" Nadia asked

"I'll just wait until they pass out then I'll take them home." Ladybug said then she saw her team collapse onto the roof

"It seems like they finally knock themselves out after they having too much to drink." Ladybug said as she went over to her drunk team where she teleported them to their beds where they will sleep it off

Ladybug travelled back to her penthouse where she de-transformed and she went to bed where she would have 7 people who would have a hangover in the morning

The next morning

Astrid woke up where she walked into the kitchen where she made herself a hot chocolate then she heard moans and groans from her friends as she smiled where she took a sip from her drink as she saw them walk out looking horrible

"You guys had a wonderful night last night considering you are on every media outlet and social media sight." Astrid said as she turned the TV on showing a video of them drunk walking on the roof tops as they heard Ladybug shouting at them to stop.

"So that's what we did last night." Chloe said

"There are other things that they wouldn't show on TV or any other sights as well." Astrid said

"What did we do?" Luka asked scared of the answer

"Let's just 3 couples had sex in the middle of Champs-Elysees and every famous landmark in Paris." Astrid said as the couples blushed at what they did last night

"Did we possibly showed our identities last night?" Juleka asked

"Nope all you guys did was took off your hero suits then made out as you gave each other hickeys then sex." Astrid said then she saw them turn green as they rushed to the toilets to empty their stomachs

"This is why I don't drink I already seen this happen to experience Viking adults." Astrid said as she finished off her hot chocolate and she washed her cup then she put it in the dishwasher

After 10 minutes her friends came back in looking slightly better as they went over to where Astrid is and made themselves a hot chocolate

"So, Astrid what are you going to do now that Shadow Moth is now defeated?" Alix asked

"I'm going to see why Gabriel wanted our Miraculous when I see him in prison later today." Astrid said

"We are going to join you when our hangover has fully disappeared." Alya said

"Okay I'll see you guys this afternoon." Astrid said as she went to her bedroom
