8- Risk

The Dupain-Chengs alongside Master Fu and kwamis were all up in Marinette's room trying to come up with an efficient plan to take down Hawkmoth once and for all. Unbeknownst to the others, Marinette already had a plan in mind to take Hawkmoth down (since she had a lot of time to spare apart from being in a band and her commissions). They were surrounded by maps and photos of Hawkmoth's victims, along with articles from various new sites and clippings from magazines.

"Trust me guys, it will be worth it in the end," Marinette simply responded, "I'm sure you all are aware that Hawkmoth preys on peoples negative emotions in order to akumatize them, as well as the fact that he has an accomplice who goes by the name 'Mayura' who wields the Peacock Miraculous."

"I do remember you briefly mentioning that you and your former teammates gotten blown away by one of her sentimonsters," Sabine said as she pointed over to a picture of the moth sentimonster.

"Correct; the Peacock miraculous gives its wielder the ability to create a sentimonster manifested from peoples emotions. In order to destroy the sentimonster you have to break the object containing a blue feather, the same applies to akumas as well," Master Fu explains as his brows started to furrow a bit, "But the powers of the miraculous' are not to be used selfishly, I learned that mistake a very long time ago..."

Marinette nodded, "Don't worry, Master, we'll get the miraculous' back safe and sound in no time."

"Hawkmoth and Mayura are not going to give up their miraculous' willingly, which is why we need to assemble a team of heroes that will fight against them in the final battle. If worst comes to worst, I have a backup plan in mind just in case," Master Fu says as he looked up at Marinette, "I'm going to teach you and Chat Noir how to unify two miraculous' together."

Marinette's eyes widened, "Wait, you can actually do that?!?"

Sabine and Tom were shell shocked. Unifying miraculous'? Is that really a safe idea?

Master Fu nodded, "But I will only teach you guys as a last resort. It is very risky not only for the wielder, but for the miraculous' as well. For now though, let's just focus on assembling a reliable team of heroes before resorting to plan B."

"I think I just so happen to have a few people in mind..." Marinette smiled as she looked over at a picture of her friends.

     Zoé Lee wasn't enjoying her time at Paris. Not only did she have to deal with daily akuma attacks, her mom was nothing but verbally abusive towards her (and it has gotten worse ever since she dyed part of her hair pink). At least she had Chloé and her stepdad by her side, but not even they are enough against the fury of Audrey Bourgeois.

     Regardless, she was not about to let those factors ruin her overall experience. Zoé had real, genuine friends here in Paris and a sister who treats her like she's always been a part of her life. To Zoé, those people meant a lot to her. She would be absolutely devastated if anything happened to them.

     You can imagine her reaction when she found out that her mother had slapped Chloé across the face...

     It was one thing to verbally abuse someone, but to physically hit them? Zoé's already been through her fair share of physical abuse (she's always kept the reason as to why she left New York in the first place a secret from everyone around her) in the past, but she was not about to let her mother continue to harm her loved ones like this anymore.

     Storming up to the balcony where her mother was at (thank you Jean Jacques), Zoé pushed open the door and angrily walked over to her mother. Audrey was currently sunbathing on the roof in a black bathing suit with white accents to it, glancing up at Zoé with annoyance in her eyes.
