Blu Tembo can tell something is wrong with 'Panthera'. He knows that she calls him 'Chico' all the time but she would never call him or Cat Noir 'amigo'. She would call 'Gatito' to Cat Noir as a nickname for him.

He slowly walks and pulls Cat Noir with him, "Shh...something is up. I have a gut feeling that is not Panthera" He whispered.

"What makes you say that?" Cat Noir asked.

"She called me amigo instead of Chico. She called you Gato instead of Gatito. Chrysalis is up something in here" Blu Tembo said.

"She looks fine" Cat Noir can see she looks okay but is unaware that she's sneaking up on Ladybug.

"Don't believe me, test her. Say something that Panthera would never say or like. Anything" Blu Tembo gently pushed him.

Cat Noir raises a brow and decides to test the imposter, "So, amiga. Are you and Blu Tembo a thing? Have you kissed?" Cat Noir asked.

"No, we're just friends," The fake Panthera said.

Blu Tembo gestures to him to ask a harder question.

"Okay, tell me how you and Blu Tembo found each other down here? We never got to ask you that" Cat Noir asked.

"Simple, it was a mere coincidence we met each other down here after we fell through volcanoes of different countries," Fake Panthera said.

"Which countries?" Cat Noir asked.

"Uhhh.....well....." Fake Panthera hasn't thought of Panthera's volcano name.

Cat Noir pinned her against the cave wall, "Hmmm....is my question very contagious?" He glared that this was definitely not her. Panthera would never hesitate to answer a question.

"Gato, que haces?!" Raptor Man gasped.

"Kitty, what are you doing?!" Ladybug exclaimed.

"Don't! This is not Panthera. Don't believe me? Test her, milady" Cat Noir held his baton while clutching Panthera's neck.

"Agh! Gato! What's gotten into you? Ladybug, he's gone mad!" The imposter said.

"Wait a second!" Ladybug remembers that the real Panthera would call her mariquita all the time, "Chameleon!" She realized.

"Ladybug, It's me! Your amiga!" Chameleon pretends to be scared.

"Hey, buddy. Smell her" Cat Noir gestures the velociraptor to smell her scent.

The raptor smells her and indeed it wasn't her, growling in alarm.

"She's not Panthera" Cat Noir said.

"Damn It!" Chameleon kicked Cat Noir off and jumped up to the stalagmite pointing straight up, "You wanna play hide and seek! Let's play!" She cackled and tried to throw her spear at the boys.

"Watch out!" Ladybug tackled them both with Raptor Man.

"What did she do to her?!" Blu Tembo was very worried, "Did she possess her?!"

"No. She took a copy of the real Panthera! Don't let her kiss you!" Ladybug said.

"Got it" Blu Tembo replied and climbed up to chase after Chameleon.

"Buddy, do you think you can find the real Panthera?" Cat Noir asked the velociraptor.

"Por favor, I don't want to lose my daughter" Raptor Man was very worried. The velociraptor then ran to find her.

Ladybug then swings after Chameleon, "This time she has gone too far!" She ran faster.

Blu Tembo had to help the raptor since he was far beyond worried for his best friend and partner, "Get Cerise, I'll aid the raptor!" He runs as Ladybug keeps chasing Chameleon.
