The flu had been going the school lately, so it didn't surprised Lucifer when one Adrien was sick. It also didn't surprise him when Marinette was put out of commission at the same time.

What did surprise him was when Tentta was put out of commission because he ate some bad shrimp.

"You eat bagels! Why were you eating shrimp!?!"

Tentta, on a couch pillow on the coffee table, turned his little head to weakly look at Lucifer. "I used to eat it all the time."

Lucifer crossed his arms. "Was it bad shrimp?"

"I thought it was seasoning."

Lucifer sighed and put his face in one of his hand.

Before they could continue their conversation, Lucifer's phone went off.

Looking over at it got Lucifer to freeze.

An akuma alert.

"No..." Lucifer then started to frantically pace. "No no no!" He stopped and waved his arms around. "What am I supposed to do!?! Both the kids are out, and my Kwami is out as well-"

"You could always use one of our Miraculi."

Lucifer whipped his head to the new voice to see two Kwamis. Tikki and Plagg, each holding their Miraculi.

"What are you two doing here?" Lucifer then ran up to them with his hands out for them to rest on.

Tikki sat down in one of his hands and spoke. "It was Plagg's idea. He said we could trust you to use one of our Miraculi while Tentta and our holders are sick."

Lucifer gave her a confused look. "How did you know about Tentta?"

Plagg flew into his other hand. "I may have been the one to tell him that it was seasoning on the shrimp."

Lucifer and Tikki both sent him a glare at that.

"What? I didn't think he would get sick at the same time as the kids."

Tikki sighed while Lucifer shook his head, both already used to him.

Lucifer turned to Tikki. "Does this mean I'll have to fight alone?" Lucifer then gasped. "What about the Miraculous Cure!?! Only Marinette can do it!"

Plagg rushed up to Lucifer's face. "It's fine, this akuma isn't destructive, so once the akuma is cured, there won't be any need for the Cure. As for if you're alone..." Plagg grinned. "I wouldn't be opposed to a certain someone using me while you use Tikki."

Lucifer and Tikki gave Plagg a confused look.

"Plagg, no one else-" Tikki started.

"Oh! Her!" Lucifer quickly interrupted Tikki with a grin on his face.

Before Tikki could question either of them, Lucifer was rushing to get down stairs.

"Sunshine~! Want to help me with something~?"

---------------------------------------------------

The akuma was looking over all the people they had frozen in place.

Now, they weren't actually frozen, but they weren't capable of moving. That's what happens when you akumatize a seven year old because they lost a game of freeze tag.

"Aren't you a little young to be an akuma."

The child turned, expecting to see Mollusk, but they saw someone else instead.

There stood a figure that looked like a ladybug themed Mollusk.

His hair was bright red on top and black on the bottom of all the locks, with black antenna. His mask is pure black, with fang like designs going down on his face, while his entire forehead is covered by the mask before it turned into the antenna. Then his body was covered by a black long sleeved spandex, that ended in gloves, under a red and black spotted sleeveless suit jacket. Going down, the black spandex extended to his knees that then turned into red boots.

The akuma frowned. "You aren't Ladybug."

The hero raised hand and a finger. "Correct! Normally, I go by Mollusk, but today I'm Anatis." Anatis put the yo-yo into the other hand and pulled the string taunt.

The akuma's face glowed with Hawkmoth's butterfly symbol. "Well you don't have the Miraculous Cure!"

Anatis shrugged his shoulders. "Don't really need it. Curing your akuma fill free everyone you've caught."

The akuma grinned. "That doesn't change how you're all alone."

"I'm right here, you know."

Anatis grinned as he and the akuma turned to a lamppost behind the akuma to see the new figure.

She was leaning on the post with her arms crossed. Her hair was short, a bob cut, with leather cat ears sticking out of the top of her head. She had the typical hero masks covering her face, bringing attention to her eyes. They were similar to Chat's, but her irises were a striking gold on top of the green that the rest of the eyes were. The rest of the outfit was a simple leather body suit, with shin and arm guards on her limbs. Behind her, she had two black ropes swinging around, that ended in green tuffs of frayed rope.

The akuma jolted back. "How did..! Who are you!?!"

The cat hero grinned. "You can call me Bakeneko. As for how I got here..." Bakeneko's grin widened. "As if I would tell my enemy that."

Anatis jumped down at stared at the akuma, spinning his yo-yo. "Now that we have all parties established, let's get on with curing your akuma."

Bakeneko got up and grabbed the staff from back, then dropped into a fighting stance with a hand up towards the akuma. "How much do I have to hold back again?"

"No injuring the child please." Anatis sent Bakeneko a pointed look.

She simply shrugged her shoulders. "Fine, won't really change how quickly I'll finish this."

Anatis raised an eyebrow. "You'll finish this?"

Bakeneko grinned at Anatis. "Well, I am the cool one here."

The akuma raised their hand. "I do think she's the prettier and cooler one."

"Ha! See? I'm the cooler and prettier one."

Anatis shrugged his shoulders. "Wasn't saying you weren't."

Then, the akuma decided to charge at Bakeneko, causing the heroes to spring into action.

-------------------------------------------------

As Bakeneko released the akuma from her staff, Anatis was holding the little girl that was the akuma and took her to her worried parents.

Then, Alya came rushing up to them, with stars in her eyes. "Can I get an interview?"

Anatis and Bakeneko looked at each other then back to Alya.

Anatis grimaced. "Sorry, but I only have 3 minutes, and Bakeneko shouldn't really be left alone."

"Can you at least answer why you two are using the Ladybug and Chat Noir Miraculous'?"

"The kids had a prior engagement they couldn't get out of."

"What about your Miraculous, Mollusk."

Anatis crossed his arms. "No comment."

Alya then turned to Bakeneko. "Can you at least tell me why you're a hero today?"

Bakeneko grinned. "Sure! It's because of my relationship with buggy here."

"Your relationship?"

"Yup, and I've been wanting to do this ever since I learned about Mollusk's fan girls." Bakeneko then turned to Mollusk, and grabbed his shoulders, before turning back to Alya. "Is that recording?"

"Um, yeah? Why?"

Anatis looked up at Bakeneko with a frown. "What are y-?"

Anatis' question was never finished as Bakeneko rushed in for a kiss, a French one.

Anatis was just as surprised as everyone else, and tried to fight it for a moment. But then he wrapped his arms around Bakeneko's neck, with hum of content, to deepen it. He even kicked out a leg with pointed toes.

Bakeneko separated the two, then turned to a stunned Alya and her camera. "Stop fantasizing about my husband please." She picked up a still blissed out Anatis bridal style. "Well, it's time we head out. Seeya!"

Bakeneko then jumped up to the roofs, and disappeared with Anatis, leaving everyone stunned by that surprising turn of events.
