Cat Noir and Blu Tembo were dodging the arrows from the walls while Loxodon was chasing after them, blocking the darts with an ancient Spaniard shield.

"My puns and jokes don't even make him laugh! No sense of humor!" Cat Noir screamed.

"Dark humor is his thing I believe!" Blu Tembo shouted before reaching the end.

"No way I want to forget my life!" Cat Noir said.

"Me neither! What he's doing is using the miraculous for evil just like Shadowmoth!" Blu Tembo said, panting.

"Say that to me again you annoying cat! I'll show you the meaning of elephants that they are mighty than cats!" Loxodon shouting from the distance.

"He's completely crazy. He's not hesitating to stop" Blu Tembo said.

"I just hope the girls are okay. Oscura surely doesn't like anyone messing with her killing style!" Cat Noir said.

"We need a plan to stop him!" Blu Tembo saw Loxodon approach.

"How? For an elephant, it's like wrecking anything heavy out of the way!" Cat Noir said.

"What a scaredy cat you are! Too bad your beetle isn't here to cheer you on!" Loxodon cackled.

"Too bad your temper will be your undoing!" Cat Noir held his staff out.

"My temper is my power!" Loxodon smirked.

"Well, not if I have anything to say about it!" Blu Tembo then draws his horn and strikes it at his counterpart and knees him in the gut.

Loxodon recovered and tried to slash at Blu Tembo. Cat Noir blocked it and did a roundhouse kick.

"Your luck is running out!" The feline then kicks him in the face.

Loxodon groaned and spat to the side, "I'm gonna make you into my rug!"

"Animal skin for decoration is cruelty!" Blu Tembo engaged.

The two elephant-themed men fought in close combat until their fists collided.

"You think you're the badass here?!" Loxodon grunts.

"Yes! Because my strength comes from my family and friends!" Blu Tembo then punched him with his other fist.

"Agh!" Loxodon spits blood aside, "Grr!!! Friends and family make you weak!"

"Villains would usually say that but they are wrong!" Cat Noir said, although ironic that his father tells him that friends are a bad influence but he was wrong about them.

"Yeah! And I rather have a herd than be alone like you, Loxodon!" Blu Tembo retorts to Loxodon.

"You're as pathetic as an idiot to think friends are everything?! Friends turn their backs on one another by lying, abandoning, and manipulating, everything until they forget what it means to them! This time, no one will ever manipulate me again!" Loxodon slams his tusk sword at the wall to cause the ceiling to collapse on them.

"WATCH OUT!" Blu Tembo shielded Cat Noir.

The debris covered them but unknown if they both got crushed.

"Hah! Rest in pieces!" Loxodon laughed and left them.

But then the debris moved slightly so that they were still alive and not injured.

"Alright! That menace is getting on my nerves!" Blu Tembo said in anger once he came out with Cat Noir.

"He's gone," Cat Noir said.

"Shit! He thinks we are dead!" Blu Tembo said.

"That means as long as he thinks we're dead we'll have the advantage," Cat Noir said.

"Oscura is not that dumb. She's two steps ahead of every prediction" Blu Tembo said.

"Yes, but what if we make up a plan? The girls better be safe" Cat Noir said.

"That crazy elephant, it's like he can be anyone. Maybe the evil me. He barely spoke any of my language" Blu Tembo was unsure if the evil elephant could be a parallel version of himself.

"You think he's an American?" Cat Noir guessed.

"I don't know. Let's go find your lady and my cat" Blu Tembo kicked the debris aside.

"Of course" Cat Noir agreed.

Loxodon found Oscura, not caring if he told her he beat the elephant and the cat. It's obvious he believes they are alive; no regular person can survive from being crushed but for a person with a miraculous, they gave super endurance to survive it.

"Clawws, let's back down" Oscura detransformed into her true self.

She wore a ponytail but had an emo bang purple streak on her side to cover her eye, black eye shadow with black lipstick, a black leather jacket, a purple shirt, dark blue Jean shorts, and high stilettos heel boots. She had lots of piercings in her ears.

Her kwami had messy fur and looked a bit the same as Panthera's kwami.

"Get your strength back, Clawws. We got work to do" The woman gave her kwami her treat. Clawws ate her treat as Loxodon then also detransforms.

"Trunkk, fold my trunk" He detransformed into a man wearing a brown coat over his green shirt. He had torn jeans and brown boots. His face was similar to Pelle's but noticeable eyeshadow and a goatee. His kwami also resembled Pelle's own but had bags under his eyes.

"Honestly those heroes are capable of surviving together, cabezón. The other elephant surely has ways to be a gentle tank than a charged elephant to bash things out of the way" Reverse Luna said before applying pain relief cream in her leg.

"He knows nothing about being a force of nature. He's just a disgrace" Reverse Pelle said, giving a peanut to Reverse Trunkk.

"And she can barely hunt like a jaguar to kill her prey" Reverse Luna scoffed.

"And that pathetic bug bird? I can't believe he would try to manipulate our pain for his selfish gain and benefits!" Reverse Pelle roared.

"Calmase, cabezón. Panthera did warn us before that he would have dangerously controlled us as puppets with his whatever cursed butterflies. She did nearly save us if we didn't know his motives and his manipulation" Reverse Luna said.

"And trying to use our beliefs to get us to work with him didn't work. We have already been there and done that. Never again would we have them see us as useless" Reverse Pelle said and Reverse Trunkk just shook his head at his holder.

"Don't get me wrong but you could've erased their memories to forget being a dumbass but instead you want to kill" Reverse Luna chuckled before glancing at the dead skeletons.

"Then there's no one to challenge" Reverse Pelle replied.

"Now get your ass in gear, cabezón. We should be reaching El Dorado by then. If the tribes do exist, we can't be seen. They only worship Ix Chel, their goddess. The planetary alignment is in a few days before it unleashes something bad. Clawws, let's get aggressive" Reverse Luna transformed back to Oscura.

"Trunkk, unfold my trunk!" Reverse Pelle transformed too, "What if those counterparts are us? They could be anyone underneath the mask" He said.

"I don't know. Unlike them, we never met another ladybug or black cat in our world. They both never seem to like the ugly bug bird and they sure haven't defeated him yet" Oscura said before heading out of the ruins while her elephant companion followed.

The heroes came across another temple except the path was covered with rocks and lava.

"Oh boy. This is like a video game there's always lava in the way for the level to get difficult" Cat Noir said, looking at the bridge and then the lava pit.

"Well, this is about to get real than a video game, kitty. No life packs and definitely no replays to save us" Ladybug said, kicking the rock in the lava pit to see how deep it was and it sank into the lava, "Well, it's deep enough" She said.

"Be grateful that this bridge is made of carved stone. In movies, it's always wooden bridges that would possibly burn like firewood but also very unstable to cross" Panthera said.

"Just don't look down. As a civilian I get nervous with bridges being unstable" Blu Tembo said, nervous at how instead of a river, it's now lava down below.

"Thank goodness" Cat Noir crossed the bridge with the others.

"I don't like this, man. Whenever there's lava in video games, something else can ambush at the end" Blu Tembo said, trying to not look down.

"Don't look down" Ladybug said while crossing.

"This is no Temple Of Doom movie. It's always lava for sacrifice rituals" Blu Tembo shuddered at how real it would be for a victim to get burned alive in lava.

"Yeah, falling into that at full speed would be a quick death," Panthera said.

"Depends how deep the lava is," Ladybug said.

"It's not the same as falling in the water. They both have different densities" Panthera said, making it to the end of the bridge.

"True on that. They wouldn't just sink like that in Volcano from 1997" Blu Tembo pointed out.

"Life is not like movies, guys," Ladybug said, sweating too much at how hot it is near the area.

"Except that" Cat Noir points at the supervillain surfing on lava with rock plates as a surfboard.

"What?!" Panthera exclaimed that there was no way that was possible.

"Just like my childhood LEGO figures!" Blu Tembo saw the villain.

"That's very impossible!" Ladybug ran to see where they were going but couldn't get past the flowing lava.

"Okay, only one shot at this! Lucky charm!" She summoned her charm and stepped back as if it were a big object.

"What the hell?" Blu Tembo exclaimed.

"A steamboat? That won't work, mariquita. It's not lava-proof. Anything that touches the lava, it melts. It's like over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit" Panthera said, getting impatient that the villains are ahead.

"We need million gallons of water to turn lava into crust but water evaporates," Cat Noir said.

"But how? There's no water" Blu Tembo said.

"Chico, your horn has elements. Maybe you can summon water like an elephant" Panthera said.

"Right of course!" Blu Tembo then blew his horn, summoning a whole flood of water.

"It's working! It's turning the lava into crust!" Cat Noir said.

"Wait! Stop! STOP!" Panthera saw the Jaguar statues coming to life, "I think we are cheating, guys! We gotta surf! Suicidal and crazy, yes! But better than facing statues made of igneous rock form!" Panthera grabs a rock stalagmite to ride on before jumping in.

"Panthera!" Blu Tembo stopped summoning water from his horn, hearing the lava splash below but saw she was surfing.

"Here I come!" Ladybug used her own board.

"This is so crazy! I can't even surf well! It's like surfing down to Hell!" Blu Tembo blew water from his horn at the statues but it won't stop all of them.

"I'll guide you. Get on!" Cat Noir said, grabbing Tembo before jumping in, using the surf rock before making a splash in the lava as it surfs down the stream of lava, "WOOOOOHOOOOO!!! Now this is a smoking hot ride!"

Blu Tembo held onto him from behind since he's not used to surfing.

"Except this is not the beach, cat! Don't fall in like the game Lava Floor!" Blu Tembo screamed.

"Got it!" Cat Noir surfed up on the crusted area before going down the lava river.

Panthera was getting closer to the supervillains but she couldn't fight like this with so much open lava, "Oscura! Stop this madness!"

"Hahaha!!! You think I'm gonna listen to you?!" Oscura cackled.

"Look around you! We are surfacing on lava and I'm trying to save you!" Panthera dodged the stalagmites.

"I don't fear death but you do!" Oscura surged faster to get to the exit.

"You're insane!" Panthera went faster.

"Get outta the way, hero!" Loxodon tried to push her but she dodged him.

"You don't know anything about me, pendeja!" Oscura roared before jumping to the crusted area and grabbing Loxodon before the stream got intense for the lava fall at the end.

"Sayonara!" He waved as Panthera approached the falls.

"Shit!" Panthera had to think fast to save her friends before they reached the end. Her vision highlights the rock log structure and got an idea as she jumps and uses her claws to climb, punching the top so it can fall like a tree to stop the lava stream and the speed so her friends can jump to the other side without falling to their deaths.

"Es peligrosa!" She screamed as the rock log fell.

"Get ready!" Cat Noir saw her signal.

"And hurry! Your lady has a few minutes before she transforms back!" Blu Tembo said.

"Grab on!" Ladybug threw her yoyo to swing up, hearing the last dot beep.

Cat Noir and Blu Tembo came after and landed safely. Panthera moved Ladybug to hide behind the rock before the last beep transformed her back.

"Quick! Eat up!" Marinette fed Tikki one cookie.

"I'm so reckless. I nearly almost put you guys in danger" Panthera felt ashamed for this.

"I've been through worse" Cat Noir shrugs it off.

"But still it was," Panthera said.

"But we lived to tell the tale, Panthera. Don't blame yourself" Blu Tembo said.

"Tikki, spots on" Marinette in hiding transformed back.

"For now. No man can survive this without a miraculous" Panthera said before muttering in Spanish of how crazy this journey is.

"Alright, I'm here" Ladybug shows herself.

"I wish to see your beauty behind the mask but you are always as puuuuuurrrrrrrrtty to me like a lovely lady, milady" Cat Noir hugs her.

"Thank you, Kitty" Ladybug hugs back.

"Heh, no wonder fans call this ship LadyNoir" Blu Tembo chuckled.

"Fans will always be fans," Panthera said.

"Even though we're just a duo," Cat Noir said.
