Kikou shoots both his fists at the three who dodge, charging at Kikou. Chatton uses her staff to reach Kikou's face and tries to cataclysm shelter. Nothing happens and Kikou head-butts her away and the three stare in slight shock.

"It's like he's invulnerable!"

"He must be!"

"How are we supposed to reach his headgear if we can't get past his shield?" Crystal Frost asks when Kikou activates multitude and suddenly there are three of them.

"Well, the easy way would be to destroy his shield," Scarabella sighs in frustration.

"But since he's invulnerable we can't, meaning there's only one solution: We get him to drop it himself," Chatton says and Scarabella summons her lucky charm.

"Looks like we're gonna land on our feet after all," Chatton comments as a tarp lands in Scarabella's hands.

"That's right. Here's the plan."

After explaining the plan Chatton and Crystal Frost step out, pretending to be scared before taking off, leaving Scarabella to distract the three Kikous. Chatton and Crystal Frost work together to get the items Scarabella needs: a firetruck, lots of paint, and a tube for the paint. With the help of some firemen, they fill up the firetruck with paint, connect the long tube, and wrap it around Chatton's staff with the tarp. She extends high into the air and fills the tarp with paint. Crystal Frost sneaks up behind Kikou and uses ice storm to freeze him in place so he won't notice the trap being set until it is too late and his shield is covered in paint, forcing Kikou to take it down.

"Unshield!"

Scarabella's yoyo wraps around the headgear and shatters it, setting the Megakuma free.

"No more evil-doing for you Megakuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha. Bye-bye butterfly. MIRACULOUS SCARABELLA!"

As everything returns to normal Nora runs up to Cookie, shouting at him.

"Geez Cookie, you went bananas again!"

"What? I didn't do anything!" He argues back before looking at the heroes in confusion. "Did I...?"

"You were akumatized and pretty angry too," Chatton points out, and Cookie glares at Nora.

"That was her fault! She made a fool out of me!"

"Oh yeah? Maybe next time you should respect me while talking to me!"

The two begin to butt heads when Scarabella intervenes.

"Maybe try keeping your emotions in check when communicating and if that's too hard, take a moment away from each other to calm down."

"Also make sure to keep each other's feelings in mind, you're not gonna get your point across if all you do is insult each other," Crystal Frost adds while Cookie is given his magical charm.

I sigh in relief once the magical ladybugs come into view and Luka pulls me in for a side hug.

"See? Everything's gonna be ok," He tells me with a reassuring smile.

"Yeah...But it still feels wrong that I wasn't there to help," I slightly frown, missing Flaake yet again.

"Come on, I know what'll make you feel better," Grabbing his guitar and my hand he leads me to the bridge and he starts playing, singing a song that I join in which does help me feel better.

The song (If your eyes aren't blue, he's changing the lyrics to match yours):

Gabriel detransforms with a grimace when his Alliance ring beeps and he checks the notification, Emelie appears on the screen.

"Warning threshold exceeded. Data beyond human capabilities have been recorded on three Alliances."

This changes Gabriel's mood instantly as he smirks maliciously. "Sometimes change is good."
