Chapter 24: Antibug Averted

(Author's notes: Now, we shall see how Chloe's Akumatization will be averted without her being a spoiled brat, without Vanisher's Akumatization at the beginning, and without anyone making a big deal out of Chloe being tormented by even an Akumatized villain with invisibility. At the same time, we shall see which new Akumatized villain will take Antibug's place.

Also, just so you know, certain Akumatized villains whose debuts Steel Butterfly tries to avert in the future of this story won't always work, like for example, Andre Glacier/Glaciator. If you want to know the reasoning for that, you'd have to read Steel Butterfly's journal entries in the Glaciator chapter.

Steel Butterfly's journal.

May 7th, 2015.

First journal entry today.

Today's the day of the Vanisher and Antibug incidents.

But with Chloe being a nicer young woman these days alongside her sidekick Sabrina, let's just say that some of their despicable actions in the future will be totally averted.

And the same also applies to their temporal replacements, Lynnette and Miriam.

As for me, if it were up to me alone, if Chloe made that dark future of hers happen one to two years early, I would've killed her myself. Specifically if her crimes after Miracle Queen had progressed to attempted murder and actual murder.

But I would've done it while using my transformation inducement superpower to turn myself into an exact replica of the Johnny Blaze iteration of the Ghost Rider from the second half of the first Ghost Rider movie, with his spiked jacket and his spiked gloves that are carried over from the Danny Ketch version of Ghost Rider from the comic books of the 1900s.

Thankfully, my actions of changing her in the Origins episode literally planted the seeds of a kinder, more heroic future for Chloe. So therefore, me using the true power of the Ghost Rider's demonic powers is unneeded and wholly unnecessary.

But at the present time, I've been investigating crimes that have been taking place before, during, and after Akumatized villain attacks. Including ATM robberies.

And so far, I've had a pretty high success rate in that regard.

But I have been having the darndest time trying to find the ringleader for this organization that has been committing these robberies under my teammates' noses.

And when I interrogated the latest of Paris' underbelly for information on where the ATM robbery crimes during the Akuma attacks were happening, I got nothing.

Apparently, these p***** don't care if I'm the leader of the French Miraculous Superhero Team or not; they only want nothing to do with me, and yet, they don't care about the thousands to millions of superpowers I have and they don't care how scary I really am. Basically, no matter what I say and no matter what I do, they're not gonna budge.

And a big majority of those scumbags also had revealed that even though they're fascinated by the power of Hawk Moth's Butterfly Miraculous, they don't want anything to do with him or any of the Miraculouses in the possession of the Order of the Guardians, no matter what's left of them and no matter if they'd heard of the Guardians and the rest of the Miraculouses or not.

These guys and gals have absolutely no idea who they're dealing with, as evidenced when I brutalized one of their brutes, proving once and for all that because of my powers, I'm more than thirty times stronger, faster, durable, and adept at fighting than any of their enforcers no matter how much bigger than me they really are.

But whatever the case, at the present time, this city of Paris, France is dying of emotional baggage to be held in just so Hawk Moth doesn't Akumatize anyone, aside from the obvious choices of Akumatized villains in terms of category of person..

I feel slightly depressed, but the sooner I can get rid of ordinary crimes taking place before, during, and after Akuma attacks, the better.

And I know the majority of Parisian citizens won't approve of me going after normal criminals, but here's the thing. As far as I've seen in many Miraculous Ladybug fanfictions like this one called Services No Longer Required and as far as I've seen throughout the entire show from beginning to end, every and all Miraculous superheroes aren't restricted to dealing with supernatural businesses or just Miraculous supervillain businesses.

But in all seriousness, I intend to make sure that not only will Gabriel Agreste aka Hawk Moth, The Collector, Scarlet Moth, Shadow Moth, Shadow Noir, Monarch, Scarlet Shadow, Dragon Moth, Tyranno Moth, Hawk Bug, Nightmare Chimera, and Rooster Moth suffers the consequences for his actions as Paris' first magical terrorist, but I also intend to make sure that every one of his allies, past, current, former, and future, suffer the consequences of their actions and I intend to make sure that ordinary crime in Paris before and after Hawk Moth's permanent defeat goes down to zero. No matter if the crimes in Paris dropping to zero is temporary or permanent.

And of course, at some point, I intend to give my two friends an arsenal upgrade to help them deal with other kinds of supervillains like, oh I don't know, Robustus perhaps?

Must remember to ask Ladybug and Cat Noir for permission first, 'cause as far as I've seen in the Malediktator episode, Ladybug didn't even use the huge Lucky Charm Rocket Launcher without even checking to see if the rocket launcher actually fired real rockets or if it just fired explosive non-lethal sticky rockets made of magic energy.

But regardless of whether or not Ladybug shares Batman's strict code to never use guns of any type, including rocket launchers, even she needs to be prepared for anything. But all the same, I happen to be acutely aware that even I can't prepare for everything no matter how smart I am. And I'm also dutifully aware that Paris, France is one of the few but many cities to have extremely serious gun laws that even their police forces have to follow to a T.

And of course, I intended to upgrade Cat Noir's powers like I did some time ago just to prepare for any Akumatized villain attack that involves the villain in question being able to create or bring to life replicas, clones, and lookalikes of all types that resemble anyone. Potentially including Cat Noir's deranged, murderous white-clad counterpart from that apocalyptic timeline, Cat Blanc.

Although, I'm curious about how Cat Noir will be able to contend with fighting Cat Blanc considering the fact that because they know each other's moves since Cat Blanc is Cat Noir's Akumatized future counterpart and probably trained himself in combat a tad further. And because of this, they could potentially be evenly matched while trying to distract the other from thinking of new, unexpected moves on the fly.

Must remember to investigate further, but I have a feeling that today's Akumatized villain attack to replace Vanisher and Antibug will probably put that theory to the test.

And I also must remember to upgrade Ladybug's powers to the point where she will have additional creation-based superpowers and I must remember to upgrade Cat Noir's powers so he can use his destruction magic to be able to purify Akumas and destroy evil magic.

Kind of like that fanfiction from my Earth called Rewriting Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, Cat Noir was the only one given the ability to purify Akumas, which made more sense than Ladybug in canon having the ability to purify Akumas.

But for the time being, I must be off now, especially since I'm really hungry.

(Third person POV...)

In her room at Le Grand Paris Hotel, Chloe finds the perfect outfit to wear, which is basically a white and red casual wear t-shirt, a pair of black and blue casual wear jeans, and a pair of green and orange hi-top sneakers.

Chloe sees Butler Jean urging her to the car and carefully rushes over.

In Francoise Dupont High School, in Ms. Bustier's classroom being taught by Ms. Mendeleiev for the time being, the entire class is working on something with a tablet, with Chloe and Sabrina doing the same thing.

After ten grueling minutes, some of the class manages to finish, but they chose to keep quiet and not use their phones, knowing that despite Ms. Mendeleiev loosening up a tad, she was still very strict with her classes.

Marinette manages to finish her assignment, mentally praying her thankfulness that Steel Butterfly was helping her, her family, her friends, and the entire human population of this current Quantic Universe.

As everyone waited for Ms. Mendeleiev to check their work, nobody noticed how Steel Butterfly had flown up to the roof of the school and started eating something.

On the roof, Steel Butterfly was eating a footlong sandwich from a sandwich shop that he visited earlier. The sandwich was soft Italian bread, with the top part of the inside of the bread covered in a small amount of butter. And the sandwich itself was filled with ham, Genoa salami, bologna, steak, turkey, chicken breast, roast beef, smoked boneless brisket, roast pork, corned beef, pastrami, bacon, roasted zucchini, Brussels sprouts, spinach, green peppers, tomatoes, banana peppers, cucumbers, guacamole, lettuce, avocado, sautéed onions, and a small enough serving of natural American cheese, Swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese.

Steel Butterfly was thoroughly and quietly enjoying his meal, thankful that nobody was crossing the school grounds, and thankful that he hadn't been spotted yet.

After the school bell rings, Marinette and Adrien are the first ones to move out the door of the classroom in a single file.

Surprisingly, there were no Akuma attacks just yet.

Having finished his luncheon, Steel Butterfly flies off to his lair, successfully managing to avoid detection.

Later on that afternoon, another Akumatized villain appeared: Hollis Calvin, also known as Shadow Stranger, a supervillain with the ability to actually conjure shadows of people's dark personalities after looking at them and manifest them into actual people. Sadly, this also happens to include the likes of people who are considered incorruptible, like Ladybug and Cat Noir in this current timeline thanks to the foreknowledge given to them about their mistakes in the future.

So, Ladybug had to contend with her dark counterpart, Lady Misfortune.

She was able to summon her Mega Charms as swords and rocket launchers as many times as she desired without her power draining.

And for perhaps the first time, Cat Noir is contending with his dark counterpart, Cat Blanc.

The fight against Cat Blanc was difficult for Cat Noir because Cat Blanc's Mega Cataclysm causes more destruction than normal. Cat Noir also remembered Steel Butterfly informing him and Ladybug that Cat Blanc's Mega Cataclysm is powerful enough to kill even Miraculous users and turn them into decaying coal statues, Cat Blanc can use his Mega Cataclysm as many times as he desires without his "White Cat Miraculous" losing power, he can focus on his control over his destructive power to even deactivate it, and Cat Blanc's Mega Cataclysm is also powerful enough to destroy entire galaxies in a single strike. And not even the likes of God, The Monitor or even Primus can restore what was destroyed by someone who has the destructive power output of Mephistopheles, the Anti-Monitor and Unicron respectively and combined.

Cat Blanc growls as he throws the first left cross.

Recovering from the shock of the fact that his white counterpart can easily bypass his nigh-invulnerability, Cat Noir executes a left diagonal elbow strike, a right back hand strike, a left downward elbow strike, a right bolo punch, a left front elbow strike, a right crane beak strike, a left front elbow thrust, and a right double fist punch.

Cat Blanc fires his Mega Cataclysm Blast at Cat Noir, but he misses, completely destroying an abandoned building nearby.

Cat Noir pounces behind Cat Blanc and executes a left jumping downward elbow strike, a right Eagle Claw punch, a left rear elbow strike, a right Eagle Strike punch, a left side elbow strike, a right ear clap punch, a left spinning back elbow strike, a right extended index finger punch, a left Superman elbow strike, and a right eye scratch punch.

Cat Noir then says, "Listen, Future Me, you've been brought to life by an Akumatized villain! Your timeline doesn't exist anymore thanks to my boss!"

But considering the fact that his white-clad counterpart is deranged, murderous, and can't be reasoned with, Cat Blanc hisses and growls at his corporeal unakumatized counterpart as he deflects a right cross before leaping in the air to perform a Superman punch. Then he executes a left overhand punch and right roundhouse kick.

Managing to recover, Cat Noir pounces behind Cat Blanc again and executes a right uppercut elbow strike, a left eye strike, a right axe kick, a left two finger poke, a right front leg axe kick, a left four finger poke, a right back kick, a left spear finger strike, a right butterfly kick, a left leopard punch, a right butterfly twist kick, and a left liver punch.

Cat Noir then calls out, "Don't make me kill you! I got a reputation to uphold!"

Cat Blanc replies, "I'll be sure to give my regards to our parents when I take your Miraculous and our lady's Miraculous!"

Cat Blanc tries firing a big enough Mega Cataclysm Blast at Cat Noir, only for Cat Noir to retaliate with his new superpower, Black Storm.

Cat Blanc is shocked but even though he's been wounded, he wasn't completely disintegrated.

Cat Noir jumps over Cat Blanc's swiping claws and executes a right calf kick, a left mouth of hand strike, a right cartwheel kick, a left one inch punch, a right crescent kick, a left one knuckle punch, a right inside crescent kick, a left overhand punch, a right outside crescent kick, a left rabbit punch, a right cut kick, a left ridge hand strike, a right double front kick, and a left Sambo casting punch.

Cat Blanc fires Mega Cataclysm discs and spheres at Cat Noir, only for the black cat hero to dodge and evade all the projectiles.

Cat Noir manages to pounce behind Cat Blanc and he executes a right and left double roundhouse kick, a right spear hand strike, a left downward roundhouse kick, a right spinning back fist, a left foot sweep kick, a right thumb strike, a left flying back kick, a right tiger claw strike, a left flying drop kick, a right vertical punch, a left flying front kick, a right Wing Chun Double Punch, a left flying side kick, and a right Superman punch.

Cat Blanc tries to retaliate with a flying double roundhouse kick, but fails as Cat Noir dodges out of the way in a superb manner.

Cat Noir hides himself behind Cat Blanc yet again and executes a left ball of foot front kick, a right instep front kick, a left heel kick, a right hook kick, a left inverted roundhouse kick, a right jumping axe kick, a left jumping back kick, a right jumping front kick, and a left jumping roundhouse kick.

Cat Blanc gets so mad that he fires Mega Cataclysm Spheres left and right, hoping to get his black counterpart trapped in one of them and petrified.

And almost every structure in and out of range was turned into coal statues that would disintegrate if punched hard enough by anyone with superhuman strength instead of disintegrating shortly after being touched with either Cataclysm or Mega Cataclysm.

Cat Noir manages to dodge the spheres again and he moves behind Cat Blanc without even being heard or seen.

The moment Cat Blanc lets his guard down, Cat Noir executes a right jumping side kick, a left jumping spinning axe kick, a right jumping spinning crescent kick, a left knee joint kick, a right Kyokushin Wheel Kick, a left oblique kick, a right push kick, a left forward roll kick, a right forward falling kick, a left side roll kick, a right side falling kick, a left front leg roundhouse kick, a right rear leg roundhouse kick, a left scissor kick, a right scoop kick, a left scorpion kick, and a right shin kick.

Cat Noir eventually manages to trap his dark counterpart in one of his new powers, appropriately named "Black Hole." And as the name implies, Cat Noir's third main superpower creates black holes to trap enemies and/or disintegrate them if he so chooses.

As for Steel Butterfly, because he was the morally neutral line between angelic and demonic, and as a bit of an antihero, he was completely unaffected.

So, he managed to overcome Shadow Stranger's gaze, but he found her to be a supernatural skilled combatant. So, Steel Butterfly used almost every combat move, almost every combat maneuver, almost every technique, and almost every one of his offensive powers before he finally broke the Akumatized object, which was a light and dark-colored large-sized locket brooch.

Of course, the methods of combat Steel Butterfly used come from many superhero and supervillain martial artists, including the likes of Eric Draven, Top Dollar, Shang-Chi, The Mandarin, Captain America, Taskmaster, Spider-Man, the Green Goblin, Batman, Deathstroke, Iron Fist, Kingpin, Daredevil, Black Cat – Felicia Hardy – and Ra's al Ghul.

As Steel Butterfly went home, he remarked, "Whew! That was one of the toughest battles ever! And I know for a fact that the next ones to come will arrive sooner than I think."

Steel Butterfly detransformed back into Miguel Guevara and went to sleep in his room.

He couldn't help but allow his mind and his retrocognitive dreams to show him how the averting of Sabrina's first Akumatization happened in the first place.

(Flashback: Le Grand Paris, two days ago, third person...)

Chloe and Sabrina decided to stay in Chloe's room so as to avoid getting themselves in trouble with Jagged Stone and Nadia Chamack.

The reason for that is Chloe and Sabrina were cosplaying Corvo and a female version of Steel Butterfly with Lynnette and Miriam cosplaying Ladybug and a female version of Cat Noir.

They knew that they choose to omit specific parts of their costumes because they don't suit the cosplayers.

But the cosplayers also realized that they could get in trouble for illegal impersonation if they tried to imitate the actual heroes and lie to the associates of the actual heroes.

Thankfully, they managed to avert that disaster, which is why Sabrina was never Akumatized into Vanisher and why Chloe was never Akumatized into Antibug, the complete opposite of Ladybug with the same powers as her.

Chloe and her three friends then decided to cosplay as different superheroes to avoid attracting attention, causing confusion, and to avoid getting themselves into trouble.

(Present day, third person...)

In Miguel's residence, Ladybug and Cat Noir entered Miguel's bedroom to play a prank on him.

They tried to do the classic wet your bed trick, but when Miguel woke up, he said to them, "Nice try, guys."

Ladybug and Cat Noir groaned in unison, knowing for the first time that their boss was thoroughly skilled in pranking people and his skill in avoiding pranks was on a superb level.

Miguel got up from his bed and his two friends could see that he was wearing Transformers themed pajamas for men of his height and weight.

Miguel then asks, "Now, whose bright idea was it to prank me? And don't try lying to me, because one of my many superpowers is the ability to detect lies, in addition to the ability to read your minds."

Ladybug sighs as she replies, "Hhhhaaaa. Okay. It was my idea to prank you."

Miguel scowled dangerously, and the two novice heroes could easily see Miguel's teeth sharpening themselves into razor-sharp dragon teeth.

Suddenly, Miguel smirked evilly and tackled Ladybug, causing a small yelp of surprise.

Miguel pins Ladybug to the ground and starts tickling her underarms, managing to find a spot in her armored armpits that didn't have any armor on them.

Ladybug was squealing and laughing hysterically as she begged for Miguel to stop.

But Miguel's only response was, "When you attempt to prank me, I always find a way to get even. I know how ticklish you really are, Marinette, and if you cross my path in such a manner again, I'll personally tickle torture you the same way we tickle tortured Alix before we trained her to be a better Bunnyx."

Ladybug replies, "HAHAHA! Okay! OKAY! I'M SORRY, OKAY?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! JUST PLEASE STOP TICKLING ME! THAT REALLY TICKLES SO MUCH!"

Miguel replies cheekily, "All right, but only because you said please."

Miguel stopped tickling Ladybug's underarms and helped her up.

All the while, Cat Noir was discreetly smirking, knowing that he can easily prank his lady by tickling her while she's asleep.

Ladybug and Cat Noir parted on good terms.

That night, during patrol, Steel Butterfly advises, "Ladybug, the next Akumatization to avert is a real shocker. Your great-uncle from China, Wang Cheng, will be stopping by to participate in a cooking competition called "'The World's Greatest Chef,"' and he becomes Akumatized into Kung Food after his dish is sabotaged."

Ladybug snorts in amusement as she asks, "Kung Food? Seriously?"

Steel Butterfly replies before continuing, "Yes, seriously. Hawk Moth is seriously running out of supervillain name ideas. Anyway, as Kung Food, Wang has the ability to summon weapons from his bag, and the weapons are made out of various foods, including swords made of pizza and grenades filled with spicy peppers."

Ladybug and Cat Noir's stomachs start to growl loudly in response.

Steel Butterfly continues, "Anyway, whoever has eaten Kung Food's Celestial Soup before and after he's Akumatized is immediately hypnotized into becoming his servants. But also, he mainly speaks Mandarin Chinese because he was born and raised in Shanghai, China. As a result of growing up in a Chinese-speaking community and living in that same community for over fifty-nine years, Wang's ability to speak English is somewhat limited. So, Ladybug, you're gonna have to learn how to speak Chinese without using a translating app. Besides, the translating app you have is somewhat faulty."

Ladybug then inquires, "And how do you expect me to speak to my great-uncle in Mandarin without using a translating app?"

Steel Butterfly explains, "It's simple. Like Charles Xaiver, my ability to speak different languages is nearly unparalleled thanks to my extensive super intelligence being nearly godlike, and as a result, I can easily use my telepathy to teach you to speak Mandarin. But we must keep this a secret from your great-uncle. If he got Akumatized and he found out you were playing superhero, Hawk Moth would also find out because even though he can't read his champions' minds, he is still able to see and hear everything that his villains can see and hear. Besides, Wang doesn't even know about our team, ourselves included."

Ladybug vents before replying, "Okay, and who would have the audacity to sabotage my uncle's soup to the point of getting him Akumatized?"

Steel Butterfly replies, "That would be Chloe in the original primary timeline."

So, in anticipation of the competition coming up in three days, Steel Butterfly used his telepathy to teach Ladybug how to speak the basics of Mandarin, and the basics of how to carry some small talk in Mandarin.

At the same time, Steel Butterfly and Bunnyx helped double the efforts by taking Ladybug on a two-way trip back in time to ancient China to learn from the ancient people how to speak Mandarin without being seen.

Also at the same time, Steel Butterfly and Bunnyx taught Ladybug how to speak simplified Mandarin in the modern era by using both time travel and telepathy.

And surprisingly, Ladybug turned out to be a fast learner in this timeline, and as a result, she was perfectly able to tell her mother in the present day in Mandarin that she'll be waiting for her great-uncle to arrive.

Sabine cried in joy at how well her daughter was perfectly able to speak Mandarin without needing any help.

Soon, it was all systems go to prevent Wang Cheng from becoming Kung Food. But some of the efforts would not be needed because Chloe and Lynnette were no longer spoiled brats despite being rich.

(Steel Butterfly's voice-over POV as he writes in his Rorschach-inspired journal in his thoroughly hidden bedroom...)

Steel Butterfly's journal.

May 7th, 2015.

Second journal entry tonight.

So far, my plans to have Wang Cheng's Akumatization into Kung Food averted are working perfectly.

Of course, as part of making sure that my plans to prevent Wang Cheng from getting Akumatized despite Chloe Bourgeois and Lynnette Bellecourt being reformed, Bunnyx and I needed to take Marinette into the past to teach her how to speak Mandarin.

And that's what Bunnyx and I did. We took Ladybug into the past and we taught her thoroughly how to speak Mandarin, and to my surprise, Ladybug was a fast learner in this current timeline.

She was able to learn how to speak Mandarin and get the pronunciations right on the first try.

What would've taken years in the original timeline if not for Thomas Astruc from my Earth took nothing short of just 2 hours in this timeline.

And she even progressed to the point where she even told her mother in Mandarin that she was going to be ready for when her great-uncle arrives to Paris.

On top of that, I finally have confirmation about how ticklish Marinette really is.

She turned out to be deathly ticklish on her armpits, her stomach, her ribs, and her feet.

This'll prove to be useful if I ever need to tickle torture Marinette for any reason at all.

Now, don't get me wrong; I don't approve of tickling anybody, let alone girls. But sometimes a tickle torture is all you need to prove a point and to teach anybody some manners.

Especially when it concerns any of my teammates such as Ladybug, Cat Knight, Corvo, Rhinocharge, or even Bunnyx attempting to prank me for any reason when I'm not even in the pranking mood.

All the same, I hope that nobody sabotages Wang's Celestial Soup in Chloe's place or in Lynnette's place.

Because if that happens, my efforts will go down the drain.

In any case, while I was on patrol, I saw in a luxurious apartment what seemed to be the grandson of my Quantic Universe counterpart living with his father as a seventeen year old soon-to-be high school graduate.

And don't get me wrong; when I visited my counterpart's grave at the cemetery to pay my last respects, I was shocked to my core.

But then I remembered that in the second season of The Flash, Hunter Zolomon/Zoom of Earth 2 had an alternate universe counterpart on Earth 1 with no powers whatsoever and the Henry Allen of Earth 1 had a Jay Garrick counterpart on Earth 3 because they were both portrayed by the same actor.

I guess this means that if, and that's a big if, I was part of the cast of Miraculous Ladybug who was brought to the show from the real world right at the beginning somewhat unlike I was in my current life, there's a high possibility that I might encounter my Quantic Universe Earth-whatever-the-number-for-the-primary-timeline-is counterpart.

I had hoped to meet my counterpart, but seeing as how I'll never get that chance outside of using time travel but even that isn't an option, suffice to say I feel even more slightly depressed than before.

Anyway, I hope that I can find a superhero opposite to combat Kung Food if he ever does get Akumatized while in Paris just in case my efforts the first time around were to fail.

And who knows? Maybe he might get Akumatized during Heroes' Day, maybe not. But the superhero opposite of Kung Food... sounds like something I want to make a reality.

I'll investigate that possibility when I get to that point in time.

But in any case, I intend to make a better life for myself when I get to the year 2023.

Based on my visions of the future, if we were to go along with most of the scripts of seasons 3-12 without any Akumatized villains, Amokized Sentimonsters, or any of Hawk Moth's allies, by the time of the Christmas holidays of 2023 and beyond, we would've made great allies out of the Order of the Guardians, and hopefully we would've been able to ease their tensions and urge to be in complete dominance over the kwamis and the Order's old ways of picking Miraculous holders.

Maybe it might happen if we and I in particular play the cards right.

But like I said a couple of times before, I'm not gonna hold my breath on that.

On top of that, I completely love the fact that in this universe's timeline and many of its other divergents, me and my counterparts have the power we need to change the rules and make new ones for the lives of not only our friends and family, but also for the people who watch over us for the greater good.

But in any case, I intend to do something in the near future that even Master Fu and Marinette would probably not anticipate. And that would be me proposing to Ryoka.

Now, true, there are disadvantages to being married as much as there are benefits, but I want to spend the rest of my life with Ryoka, even though she's the first and only girl I fell in love with and started dating in today's era.

And of course, I intend to wait until I'm ready to take the next big step in my relationship with Ryoka after marriage.

After all, at the present time, even with God's intervention, I still hate children and babies.

But not to worry; that time will come before you readers can even get to the last page of this journal entry far into the future.

Oh, and one other thing: I've started taking Leppey's lecture of the benefits of owning a cat from the Simon Says incident into consideration, and who knows? Maybe sometime in the future, after Hawk Moth, Mayura and Hawk Moth II are defeated and imprisoned, I'll consider adopting a cat of my own.

But I don't see how Adrien Agreste, the teen heartthrob of Paris, would be owning a cat in his future with Marinette considering the fact that, at some point in the canonical season 3, Adrien revealed to Kagami that he was a dog person.

And sadly, if there's one type of people I hate to the EXTREMIST levels, it's dog people.

At the same time, however, I despise dogs, and if there's one breed of dog that scares me more than anything else in any sector of the multiverse, it's Pit Bulls.

If you were to take into consideration the reports of people who were wounded or killed in Pit Bull attacks in the past before the turn of the 21st century, suffice to say that I'm so paranoid to the point where if a Pit Bull was charging at me, I would gun it down and burn it to ashes.

Yeah, I'm a dog-killing pyromaniac. Sue me for all I care; it ain't gonna change anything.

But whatever the case, I'm well aware that service dogs and police dogs were needed in the past and they still are needed to this day.

But all the same, I intend to adopt at least one cat as a kitten. The reason why is because when a kitten is adopted in babyhood, the kitten in question will be trained on their environment, on hunting, and on rules to follow in someone's residence.

Whatever the case may be, though, I intend to make sure that any children I have in the future grow up as cat people. In other words, cat-loving people.

Simply because of the fact that, as I've seen in the future, I'm becoming strict to my children in almost every regard of their lives. Especially including sexuality and the best pet to own that happens to be good for human health.

But at the same time in the future, I've also become supportive of most of the things my children do as long as they're legal, as long as they're aligned with what I've been taught in the Bible, as long as they're what I've been taught by my mother, as long as they're aligned with what my grandparents taught me in their experience, etc.

And at the same time, I'm absolutely sure that some of the divergents of my timeline combined with timelines made from people on my Earth in the form of fanfiction stories can easily spawn new timelines in which the problems I have with the show starting with the identity rule and the love square in the Origins episodes are resolved before they can even start. With the exceptions of a few like Marinette's trust issues for one notable example.

Anyway, I must be off; I'm gonna prepare for when Cheng Shifu arrives in Paris to meet his great-niece.

The End.

(Author's notes: How do you like them apples? Anyway, just to let you know, when Heroes' Day arrives, many of the chronological and non-chronological villains will return, thus making Scarlet Moth's army bigger. BUT, with Steel Butterfly's own armies and his heavenly connections, even Scarlet Moth's supervillain army won't stand a chance.

Also, something to point out: in the future season 3, season 4, and season 5 chapters, I intend to feature lots of things as plot twists. And in particular, I intend to have my story explore different possibilities, including the somewhat likely and somewhat unlikely scenario involving an evil version of the Primary Timeline Bunnyx doing everything she can to overwrite and rewrite Steel Butterfly's timeline to suit her wants and interests, no matter if the current timeline is a fixed timeline or not. And also including the somewhat likely and somewhat unlikely scenario in which that same version of Bunnyx will break Gabriel, Nathalie and Lila out of prison before they can be inflicted with the Anti-Miraculous-using curse, for lack of a better term until the canon cartoon reveals the actual English name of the curse possibly invented by the Order of the Guardians to prevent former Miraculous wielders from using any Miraculouses ever again if they turned out to be unworthy for any reason. Case in point: Chloe Bourgeois after Miracle Queen, Queen Banana, and Penalteam.

Next-to-last, I intend to see if I can include seasons 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 into my story. But the possibilities of what can and can't happen in such chapters of this story are extremely limited due to the direction that this storyline is going. So, please try your best to be patient; I'm making these chapters as I go along.)
