"On a day that is grey, the hero will find himself sway,
intentions which are not true, his rescue will be their doom," the akumatised villain read as pictures of Souris, a person they haven't seen before and a broken miraculous flashed on her crystal ball.

Souris felt as if he had just swallowed an orange whole, he wasn't able to speak, or fight, he just stared at Oracle and the pictures. 'his rescue will be their doom?' who's 'their'? was oracle talking about the other heroes or maybe andy?

Oracle went to grab his miraculous but froze and for a split second stayed frozen. "Minnie!" Tartaruga threw his shield at Oracle and hit the ball out of her hands. "Min! You okay?"

"I-" He didn't have the words to answer so he just nodded.

Ladybeetle wrapped his yo-yo around Oracle's magic ball and pulled. The magic ball was ripped out of Oracle's hands, Ladybeetle pulled back the yo-yo and caught the magic ball, "Night Noi- Ah!" Ladybeetle's head started to ring, he lost his footing and felt as if a million voices were yelling in his head.

"Ladybeetle, you okay?" Night asked as he rushed to Ladybeetle's side.

"Yeah, it's just-" New York lights, a boy with ginger hair, a bright light, images kept flashing through his mind, New York lights, a boy with ginger hair, a bright light, New York lights, a boy with ginger hair, a bright light. Elijah. "Elijah? How do I remember that name?"

"What?" Night questioned.

Gold-Dragon looked at the more experienced superhero, "Does this happen a lot?"

"No," Renard shook his head, "I've never seen this happen before."

Oracle walked up to Ladybeetle and repeated, "A hero without a past," Ladybeetle shook his head, his arm tightly around Oracle's magic ball.

"Stop that," the images kept repeating, New York lights, a boy with ginger hair, a bright light, Elijah. Oracle smirked as she took a step closer to him.

She continued to walk closer, "A boy healed from a cast. He must learn to trust, or his legacy will become dust."

"Leave him alone!" Gold-Dragon yelled at the akumatised villain, though not understanding most of what was happening.

Tartaruga looked between Ladybeetle and Oracle, she knows that Ladybeetle is in no state to protect himself or the ladybug miraculous, she then turned her attention to Night. The boy was distracted by Ladybeetle.

"Broken between two, his heart and blood," Oracle took another step closer to Ladybeetle. The boy cringed in pain, dropping Oracle's magic ball.

Honeybee, Peafowl and Oracle dived for the magical ball, Oracle grabbed the ball and continued repeating Ladybeetle's prophecy, "A friend will become his foe before he can learn to trust a whole."

Souris looked as Oracle's ball changed from pink to grey to black and green, maybe Souris was just being paranoid but he couldn't help but connect the colours to him and Night Noir. 'a friend will become his foe' pink and grey, him, 'before he can learn to trust a whole' black and green, Night.

Oracle pushed Honeybee and Peafowl off of her and turned her attention to Gold-Dragon, "You are new."

Gold-Dragon shuffled uncomfortably, she didn't want her future to be read, she had enough plans for the future and didn't want to know which ones of them she fails at. "Y-yes, I am," her voice was squeaky and her throat dry, "And you need to give us that magic ball."

"Or what?" Oracle chuckled, "Your leader is a mess, he is divided, stuck between the past and present, confused about his future. Do you think he can lead you?" Oracle turned to the rest of them, "Any of you?"

"I'm not a mess," Ladybeetle grumbled as he held his head with his left hand, "I may be in a bit of pain but I can still beat you, beat Mariposa." Night stood protectively at Ladybeetle's side. "Lucky charm!"

"A work crystal ball? Ha!" Oracle exclaimed, the cockiness in her voice pissing Tartaruga off. "What good would a fake crystal ball do against a real one?!"

Ladybeetle looked at the ball and scanned the front entrance, his eyes traced over fences, signs, trucks and garbage bins, he had a plan, "We'll see about that, won't we?"

Oracle bit her lip, she looked as if she was calculating her next move, thinking of her next taunt. "It's interesting, isn't it? I've only read two of your futures and somehow they seem to be intertwined."

"W-what?" Souris felt his heart rate rise, the only line in Ladybeetle's prophecy that could be referring to him was 'a friend will become his foe' he prayed that the others didn't make this connection.

"Don't listen to her Souris, she's trying to trick you," Honey spoke up as she turned the akumas attention to her.

"I am?" Oracle asked intrigued.

"Yes, you're trying to manipulate us, most of Mariposa's akumas attempt to do so," Honey confidently told the villain taking a step closer to her. For a second Honeybee looked behind the villain and saw Ladybeetle debriefing Renard and the others on his plan, this made Honeybee aware of one thing, she was the distraction for this fight. "You're nothing but a big bully! You're not an oracle! You're a scam!"

"A scam?" Oracle chucked as she repeated the words, although her chuckle wasn't humorous it was angry, upset. "You're not the first person to say this today. There was a teenager, who came to my stand, I did my reading and then I was yelled at and called a scam. Tell me, Honeybee. If I were to read your future and tell you something you don't like, would that make me a scam or would that make your future your own?"

Tartaruga ducked her head as she listened to Oracle speak, now she understood that she overreacted, she knew she had overreacted only seconds after but Tartaruga still can't shake the anger and fear she felt. It's stupid, she knows it's stupid, why? Why, did you care so much about Pierre finding happiness? Lee has had a crush on Pierre for the past two years, if he felt the same he would have said something by now.

Renard glanced over at Gold-Dragon, he didn't recommend Ellie to Ladybeetle, he recommended Lee. The shock on Ladybeetle's face, clearly he doesn't know Lee because he reacted the same that everyone who's heard a rumour about Lee reacts, shocked and terrified.

"Oracle, that teenager shouldn't have yelled at you but teenagers sometimes don't have the best control over their emotions," Honeybee looked over to Peafowl and blushed.

Ladybeetle looked at Renard and nodded. The fox miraculous holder took a deep breath before taking his flute, "Mirage," he whispered.

Tartaruga grabbed her shield, "Shell-ter!" A shelter formed around an illusion of Ladybeetle and Night Noir.

"You can't get their miraculous now," Peafowl teased.

Oracle looked at the two important miraculous trapped, "You were distracting me!" Oracle exclaimed as she turned to face Honeybee. She smirked as she saw Honeybee holding out her stinger, seconds away from paralysing her.

Oracle swooped Honeybee's leg, the hero fell to the floor and accidentally hit herself with her powers.

"Honey!"

Ladybeetle looked at the new superheroine and nodded, he threw his crystal ball at Gold-Dragon and she caught it. "Wind dragon!"

Gold-Dragon turned into a gush of air, carrying the fake crystal ball and flying at Oracle stealing her real crystal ball, the two balls mixed as she flew over to Ladybeetle. Gold-Draogn turned back into her physical form before passing both the akumatised object and the fake one to Ladybeetle.

"Good job!" Ladybeetle exclaimed, he held the two balls, his head still ringing. He turned to Night Noir, "Could you do the honours?"

Night grinned, "Of course."

"No!" Oracle exclaimed as she run to up the heroes. Peafowl and Tartaruga stopped her, she was powerful to fight back.

Night grabbed the two balls, "Cataclysm," he destroyed the first ball which must have been the fake one since it didn't have an akuma in it. "Cataclysm!"

Ladybeetle trapped the akuma in his yo-yo and purified it, letting it go. Ladybeetle grabbed a handful of dust which had come from the balls that Night Noir akumatised and threw it in the air.

The dust turned into mini lady beetles and fixed all of the damage Madame O'Dear had made, including un-paralysing Honeybee.

A portal opened as Jument walked out of it. Gold-Dragon frowned, "I need to give it back like Madkey, don't I?"

Ladybeetle nodded. She sighed, "Okay."

"Let's find somewhere for you to hide," Renard then turned to Jument and repeated what he said in French.

Peafowl shook their head, "You're about to transform back, I'll go with Jument and Gold-Dragon"

Souris held out his hand, "Team miraculous?"

"Team Miraculous!"
