Golden City

The heroes felt scared of what their fate would become. They don't know these people and fighting them would be too extreme since they are adults and have weapons. They prayed they wouldn't get their hearts torn out in a sacrifice. Or worse, get their sex organs removed too since all are virgins.

"This better not be the end for us, Kitty," Ladybug said.

"Whatever happens, we'll find a way out of this. We always do, milady" Cat Noir said.

The caverns had carvings on the walls of their history with their goddess Ix Chel. The myth believed she was the 16th-century name of the aged jaguar Goddess of midwifery and medicine in ancient Mayan culture. Another carving showed that she was a Jaguar goddess since the Mayan people worshipped jaguars as it was believed to be the ruler of the underworld. Legend has it that the Jaguar was once an ordinary animal, but the gods chose it to be their messenger on Earth, bestowing upon it a powerful roar and the ability to transform into a human form.

"Did you see that?" Panthera whispered to Blu Tembo.

"I've noticed" Blu Tembo whispered back.

"My miraculous came from their world, I think. These visions I've been having, the previous holder was a Mayan I believe, not an Aztec. The myth got mixed up" Panthera said.

"I suppose," Blu Tembo said, looking back to Ladybug and Cat Noir.

"If something happens to us, I just hope you can forgive me in the afterlife that it was my fault from the beginning I surrendered. I had to save your life" Panthera said.

"I don't blame you, Panthera. It was an honor to fight beside you" Blu Tembo said.

"The honor was mine," Panthera said.

The light was showing up at the end as it got very blinding by too much bright light. They squint their eyes to see there were golden temples and buildings made of gold along with carvings of ancient arts of Mayan traditions. It was amazing how it was built for centuries and yet no modern life came to them since they never stepped foot outside of El Dorado.

The four heroes were brought out of the boat and up on land. The humongous temples were made of real gold and thousands of people were glancing at these outsiders who are far beyond different than they have seen.

"This must be El Dorado" Ladybug looks around.

The tribe man brings out something in a jar and he orders his warriors to hold the outsiders and force them to bend down, feeling them struggle so much but their weapons were already removed so they don't try to fight back.

"Agh! Let go! Let us go! Catacl—Agh!" Cat Noir got his face held up.

"Agh! What is that?! What is it?!" Ladybug got her face held up too.

Two tribe men took out a liquid and forced the two to drink it each. They almost recoiled at the taste but had to swallow it. They did the same to the struggling Panthera and Blu Tembo to be forced to drink that stuff too.

"Mmmmhmmmph!!!" They gulped it down and then fell down coughing.

The chanting went from their foreign language to English like the stuff the heroes drank was like it went to their language process to hear them speaking English.

"What the hell?!" Panthera coughed.

"We can understand them!" Ladybug heard them speak their language.

"What?" Cat Noir can hear them chanting in English too.

"Gross! I thought it was a person's blood or piss" Blu Tembo coughed.

"Tasted like barf," Ladybug said.

The chief came to look at them, remaining silent, and glanced at Panthera who pretty much looks advanced than the only known Jaguar holder. Next was Blu Tembo who saw him as nothing more than whatever animal he was since the people of El Dorado never have elephants here in their land. Next was Cat Noir and he stared at his cat bell, jingling it as if it's a pathetic accessory for a young kid to have that would give out noise. The belt tail was unusual as he yanked it hard to observe.

"Easy man!" Cat Noir complained.

"Two young adults, two young children" The chief observed their bodies of age.

"Uhhhh.....personal space would be nice?" Ladybug said uncomfortably.

"Yeah, don't observe my partner like that," Cat Noir said.

"Silence!" The chief said, not trusting these outsiders.

"Uhhh.....forgive us. You're not gonna remove our organs, plan a sacrifice, or anything brutal to outsiders?" Blu Tembo said nervously.

"Look!" The adviser observed Panthera's weapon and Cat Noir's, "It's the same!"

"Huh?" Panthera raised a brow.

"The stories were true of the black cat and our rebel princess who wore the magic jewelry. Except these are not them. The black one with green eyes is far younger and.......skinny...... with that black rubber material cloth" The adviser examined him and so far, he roughly held Cat Noir's hand up with his miraculous ring, "The ring that outsider man once wore....the same"

"And hers too" One servant held Panthera's hand.

"Ay! Whoa, whoa! My hand may be petit but my ring stays on!" Panthera struggled.

"Over 500 years, I never thought our shaman would predict they would return," The chief said.

"Uhh.....not to burst your bubble but we did have visions of my previous holder before me. I believe he fell in love with a woman, supposedly a princess, with the jaguar miraculous. Love at first sight?" Cat Noir said sheepishly.

"You know our ancestors, do you?" The shaman asked.

"Yes and no. We just had visions as if remembering the previous holders' memories before us" Panthera said, glaring at the servants to be respectful with her personal space.

"It's true," Cat Noir said.

"But not this blue man and this spotted red girl?" The advisor asked.

"Well, mine used to be with the Aztecs," Ladybug said.

"Mine is simply from the African tribes. Mostly done from the Asian places" Blu Tembo said.

"What are you called?" The chief asked.

"Panthera. I'm.....sorta a rookie warrior in training" Panthera said, trying to be more specific in her words since these people are not adapted to modern life.

"I'm Cat Noir" Cat Noir said.

"Ladybug. A warrior leader and my second in command is Cat Noir" Ladybug said.

"Blu Tembo, also a rookie warrior" Blu Tembo said.

"Interesting. And these weapons are far beyond alien. We barely ever had outsiders come this far but one did. A thief who used to wear that ring like his. He wanted our gold and war grew so much like the mighty jaguar's roar. We cannot let your black cat do the same as the previous did" The chief then points to Panthera, "But if she can do the same as our ancient princess Izel who was in love at first sight with her black cat, then perhaps history won't repeat itself"

"I'm a warrior, not a thief. I'm not that guy. And technically, my friend is a few years older than me. We are not a couple" Cat Noir said.

"Definitely not lovers," Panthera said awkwardly, although she is a big fan of Cat Noir.

"Yes, he's just my partner" Ladybug steps in.

The loud growl from Cat Noir was a sign of hunger, "Agh! So hungry I can barely eat any restricted diet than mice!" He held his stomach.

"Get them something to eat," The chief said.

"I'm gonna kill you, Plagg" Cat Noir whispered it wasn't himself feeling hungry, it was Plagg in his miraculous getting very hungry and transferring his hunger to Cat Noir.

They were all brought to the dining room in the temple. At first, they thought they were cannibals but instead, the food was just like peaceful tribe traditions, especially the meat.

"Mmmm.... sure smells good here," Blu Tembo said.

"Totally. Gracias Dios. I was afraid they were....cannibals" Panthera sighed in relief.

"I thought so too." Ladybug grabs a large fruit to eat.

"At least we didn't die. The temple is really made of gold. So the legend is true? They worship jaguars" Blu Tembo grabs a watermelon.

"Yes, they did" Panthera replied.

She glanced at the carvings between a purple spotted jaguar and a red spotted Jaguar. Two female warriors engaged in a fight for the tribes to choose which god to worship. The goddess or the corrupted god.

"That's supposed to be the original Panthera and Oscura" Cat Noir figured out.

"The first ones millennia ago," Panthera said.

"My miraculous was made by their goddess. The other is from an evil god. Oh no. The battle between the two jaguar warriors was the reason why it all started. Between the moon and sun. Mine is the moon, hers is the sun. If an eclipse comes during the planetary alignment, the evil god Tezcatlipoca will return again from his banishment in another dimension. That's why I'm having this vision" Panthera said.

"We'll stop him at any cost," Ladybug said.

"You don't get it. Tezcatlipoca was primarily seen as the god of night and sorcery, as well as the patron god of kings and warriors. He was also believed to be a prolific shapeshifter, more often transforming into a jaguar, his spotted skin and fur representing the starry night sky" Panthera explained why it was bad and why her Colombian elder said about a prophecy.

"Warriors, as soon as you are done with eating. My people request for you to prove who you are in a game of ball" The chief requested.

"Like the game to shoot the ball in the hoop by using our hips?" Panthera guessed.

"Yes, that's how it goes," The chief said.

"They have a basketball?" Cat Noir asked.

"Sorta like basketball but it's actually a Mesoamerican ball game. They use their hips. Kicking for soccer. Hands for basketball. More importantly, no weapons" Panthera said, realizing that they took their weapons.

"Okay, but we can manage without them," Ladybug said.

"I don't think I can, milady. We always fight with our weapons against akumas like all the time" Cat Noir said before finishing the grapes.

"This is a game to play, not a fight," Ladybug said.

"Fight or game, sometimes games have no rules except winning at any cost," Blu a Tembo said, feeling useless without his blowhorn.

"Relax Tembo" Ladybug tries to calm him down.

"This is no modern game, cat. This is like a test. If we lose, it's like they'll chop off our organs and sacrifice us to savage animals" Blu Tembo said.

"But if we win, they will spare us," Ladybug said.

-

In the arena game, 4 buffy men, and warriors were very strong and much older than the young heroes. Panthera was a little intimidated and probably knew more of this game than she and her friends.

"Guys, focus. It's like basketball" Ladybug said.

"Except we can't use our hands. Plus, this is no ordinary sports game like ours" Cat Noir gulped.

"We better use our hips," Blu Tembo said.

"With our hips? We are so gonna get a cramp for that" Cat Noir said.

"And please, Kitty, don't stare too much" Ladybug blushed.

"Curiosity kills me a lot, milady," Cat Noir said before the game started.

"Get ready" Ladybug got into her stance.

"Remember the dancing in the hips, guys. It's like swaying but try not to do that in a sexy way!" Panthera dodged and kicked up the ball to bounce it with her side hip.

"Got it!" Blu Tembo hits the ball with the right side of his hip.

"At the hoop, guys!" Panthera said.

Cat Noir hits the ball with his hip to try to target the hoop. Seeing how high the hoop is, they can barely hit the ball high with their hips but the Warriors can.

"Okay we need a new strategy," Ladybug said.

"The only strategy we know is they are professional!" Blu Tembo hits the ball with his hip but missed the hoop, "Tusan!" He exclaimed in Swedish but his teammates hardly noticed.

Cat Noir jumped on the warrior and went for the ball. He hits it hard with his hip and it goes through the hoop, "Yes!"

"Good job Kitty," Ladybug said.

The score raised a gold bar for one point.

"Alright milady, get ready," Cat Noir said.

"Chico, the hip!" Panthera said.

"Right!" Blu Tembo hits the ball with his hip, "Agh!" He felt a cramp in his hip.

"I got it!" Panthera ran after it and bumped it with her hip to pass it to Ladybug.

Scoring it to the hoop another gold bar was placed by the scorekeeper.

"Well done, Bugaboo!" Cat Noir said.

The warriors felt angry that these young warriors were far stronger than they thought.

"Okay, one more" Blu Tembo said.

"Watch out! They look stronger than being pissed!" Panthera said before dragging him from angry warrior players.

Cat Noir took his chance with the ball and bumped it to Ladybug, using her hip to hit it to the hoop.

"Good shot, Bugaboo!" He saw the ball come at the hoop.

"Eso!" Panthera can see their score is on the lead.

"Yes!" Ladybug exclaims happily.

The horn blew since the shadow touched over the line that the game was over.

"Looks like we won," Ladybug said.

"Whoo! Mayan sports are so cool! All in the hips, milady!" Cat Noir said.

"Yeah, you played well kitty cat," Ladybug said.
