He was sure of it.

"Carapace!" Ladybug yelled, dodging one of the sentimonster's hits.

"Shelter!" The turtle themed hero shouted, summoning a green shield around Viperion and Honey Bee. The two heroes then fought the two mini-monsters, breaking the bracelets around their arms, promptly making them disappear. Carapace then lowered the shield so the two heroes inside could escape. They quickly joined the others battling the sentimonster.

"Venom!" Honey Bee called on her power and went in for the winning strike, landing the stinger right on the sentimonster's foot. The sentimonster then jerked to try and get the bee-themed hero off, only to be frozen in his position, and heavily landing on the side of the road.

"Good thinking Honey Bee." Ladybug bounded over to the sentimonster. "Lucky Charm!" The heroine received a piece of folded paper. Glancing at the others briefly, Ladybug opened the spotted paper. Her eyes quickly scanned the thing in her hand and she was unsure of what to make of it.

"What is it?" Viperion asked, looking over the spotted-heroine's shoulder. He too looked perplexed once he had managed to look at the paper. "That's just a lot of words... which don't make sense." And it was. The paper was filled with words from top to bottom, but none of them seemed to have any meaning.

Carapace looked over at it too after hearing Viperion's words. "Could it be Latin? It looks like Latin..." The turtle-themed hero trailed off at the end. The more he read of the paper, the less he believed in his statement.

Ladybug shook her head. "None of the words mean anything, it's just random letters put together." She scanned the paper one more time and this time she took notice of something. Her eyes widened once she realised what it was. "There's a message."

"There is?" Carapace questioned, still not seeing a single thing.

"Oh I can see it!" Honey Bee exclaimed not long after she had joined them at looking at the lucky charm. Ladybug placed her index finger on a line.

"There." And indeed, there were legible words on that line and that line alone. "It says... 'Many Congratulations to you both'. Any idea what that means?" Ladybug turned to her team who all shook their heads. Just as she looked to do another scan of the paper, the sentimonster disappeared from beneath her.

"What...?" Honey Bee questioned and before anyone else could speak, the remaining members of the team returned.

"Sorry Ladybug but Mayura got away, again." Rena told her leader. Ladybug shook her head.

"Not your fault, she's purposely doing it to set us on edge." Ladybug replied. Taking one last look at the paper, she threw it up into the air. "Miraculous Ladybug!" The magical ladybugs surrounded the surrounding areas and fixed everything in its path, making it seem as there was never any damage in the first place. Then they all turned to each other.

"Pound it!" They exclaimed at the same time, outstretching their fists in synchronization.

After pulling his hand back to his side, Chieneux looked over at a clock in a nearby shop. He then pointed at it. "If we want to have more lunch time, we better get back soon." The others nodded.

"Well done everyone, now let's go." Ladybug proudly told her team. They all then dispersed into groups, Viperion and Ryuko going one way and the others going another way, before splitting into two groups themselves. Honey Bee and Ladybug got a nearby building and de-transformed behind it.
