(Back at Union Academy's arena, All Might, his bodyguards and the union students have taken their places once again. Notably, Cinder Fall now stands by the headmaster's chair. The kombatants present at the last fight are back again, waiting for the next match. One masked guard catches the eye of Raiden. He gasps and receives another vision; this one reveals Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, also known as Ben 10 running at Cardin. Raiden realises the true identity of the guard at once and leaves his place.)

All Might: Kombatants! The next match will now begin!

(A yoyo wraps around a bar and Ladybug makes her entrance, impressing everyone, including Cassie Cage and Kamen Rider Ichigo. Ladybug looks around and suddenly sees Kamen Rider Ichigo, and hearts can be seen in her eyes.)

All Might: Marinette Dupen Cheng! The miraculous Ladybug! Heroine from Paris! Who among you is worthy of this challenge?

Ladybug: (snaps back to reality) I am here to fight Pyrrha Nikos, and avenge my deceased Spider-Senpai.

(Raiden approaches the masked guard.)

Raiden: I know it is you, Ben. The Special Forces monks chose the Kamen Riders to represent your order in this tournament.

Ben 10: I am their equal!

Raiden: That remains to be seen.

Ben 10: Watch and see.

(He promptly walks onto the arena floor, discarding his disguise as he does so.)

Ben 10: I accept the challenge!

Gwen: Ben?

(All Might looks quite disturbed at this new turn of events. Ben 10 faces Ladybug.)

Ben 10: Nevermind that Champion of Mistral. Now you face the Galactic Champion.

(He accentuates his point by activating his Omnitrix and assuming a fighting stance.)

Ladybug: Be careful. This bug bites.

(Ben 10 becomes Four Arms and tries to hit Ladybug, who uses her yo-yo, wraps it around his legs, and then pulls him down. However Ben doesn't give up so easily. He uses his Master control over the Omnitrix, and becomes Cannonbolt. He then spins like a cannonball trying to hit Ladybug, who easily dodges it.)

Ladybug: Too slow.

(Then Ben becomes XLR8 and starts hitting Ladybug easily, then he gives a scratch in one of her cheeks, and this enrages her. Then she uses her yo-yo again. But as she tries to pull him, Ben runs as fast as he can, dragging Ladybug down. After 30 seconds, Ben sees her down, and then returns to normal.)

Ben 10: Go Go Ben. Go Go Ben. That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me.

(Unfortunately Ladybug gets up, and wraps her yo-yo around his neck before pinning him down.)

Ladybug: Surrender!

Ben 10: Never!

(Then Ladybug stomps Ben's left arm to make sure he can't activate his Omnitrix.)

Ladybug: Think of it as a warning.

All Might: And the winner is Ladybug!

Kevin: Ben.

(Kevin and Gwen rush to the aid of their teammate. Raiden walks over and begins to admonish Ben 10.)

Raiden: Listen when your elders speak! You could not win this fight.

(He assists Kevin and Gwen helping Ben 10 to his feet. Ladybug watches the exchange and sighs, then turns to face All Might.)

Ladybug: I have defeated the challenger, All Might. I demand Pyrrha Nikos!

(Raiden gets another vision at that moment; first of Ladybug holding Pyrrha's removed head along with her spinal cord, then Cinder Fall becoming the Fall Maiden.)

All Might: You will demand nothing! Aquagirl!

(The atlantean walks over to Scorpion and addresses her.)

Aquagirl: Your aggression is misplaced.

Ladybug: What do you know of my pa--

Aquagirl: You are not the only one whose people have been victimised. But I have found new purpose in serving my people and helping the surface dwellers. I do not cling to the past.

Ladybug: You no longer seek retribution? You dishonour your kind. I will honour the memory of my fallen senpai.

(They fight. Aquagirl's powers prove more of a match for Ladybug than Ben 10's aliens did, but even he cannot withstand the fury of the miraculous protector of Paris. Ladybug once again emerges victorious and leaves Aquagirl unconscious on the ground.)

Ladybug: The atlanteans have forsaken you, Lorena Marquez.

All Might: An impressive start!

(Ladybug clenches a fist at All Might.)

Ladybug: You waste my time, fake hero!

(A green haired boy gasps while a blonde boy gets pissed by hearing that.)

Bakugou: WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

(Ladybug draws her yo-yo.)

Ladybug: Wanna die, spoiled brat?

(Then Cinder Fall holds up her hand while Momo does the same to Bakugou.)

Cinder: Restraint, Ladybug.

(Although not pleased about it, both Ladybug and Bakugou acknowledge the order and calm down.)

All Might: You will fight Pyrrha Nikos soon enough.

(Cinder then smirks.)

Cinder: (in mind) All according to my plan.

(She doesn't notice Ladybug coming closer to Kamen Rider Ichigo as she sways her hips a bit, but glares at the perverts. Then she finally approaches the Kamen Rider.)

Ladybug: Hello.

Ichigo: Hi...

Ladybug: (in a flirty tone) I couldn't stop noticing you. You are really handsome.

Ichigo: Thanks...

Ladybug: (giggles) My name is Marinette Dupen Cheng. (hugs him) What's yours?

Ichigo: My name is Ryo Shimizu.

Ladybug: Beautiful name. Can I call you Ryo-Senpai?

Ichigo: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA! You wanna call me senpai?

Ladybug: Well, you remind me of my other senpai.

Ichigo: What happened to him?

Ladybug: (sighs) Some of my supposed colleagues ambushed him and killed him. One of them wanted me to join his harem, but I refused. And one of the headmasters threatened to expose my identity if I left the academy. (looks at Cinder Fall) And I suspect that if I kill Pyrrha Nikos, I might get myself killed too.

Ichigo: I have an idea. He can help you.

Ladybug: He?

(Then a yellow portal appears and Doctor Strange comes out of it before approaching Ladybug and using his magic powers to destroy the grimm which was attached to her, freeing her from Cinder's control.)

Doctor Strange: You're free now, Marinette.

Ladybug: Thanks.

Doctor Strange: Defeat Pyrrha Nikos, but don't kill her.

(Ladybug takes a few moments to contemplate this new turn of events. She eventually looks Raiden in the eyes and nods happily. Doctor Strange nods back and walks off with Kamen Rider Ichigo, but before they leave, Ladybug kisses Ryo's cheek and winks at him, causing him to blush. Some time later, the door to Union Academy is opened and Ladybug walks in. Several kombatants are milling around discussing things with one another. Two of those kombatants are Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren from Team JNPR.)

Ren: Why keep blaming Jaune? He did nothing wrong.

Nora: He is our leader. He must take responsibilities.

Ren: Do you realize how hyprocrital it is?

(Then Ladybug approaches them.)

Nora: Ladybug.

Ren: Your inferior senpai is dead. And so will you.

Ladybug: I will avenge those you neglected!

(Ren pushes her back in response and All Might notices that.)

All Might: A challenge! Ladybug versus Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren.

Nora: I will enjoy breaking your legs!

(They fight. Both Nora and Ren are formidable warriors with great weapons and powerful semblances to fight with, but Ladybug's great agility, strength and powers still give her the edge in kombat. Both members of  Team JNPR are soon knocked unconscious.)

Ladybug: I will have my revenge, but I will not kill Pyrrha.

(As Raiden nods his approval, a new voice attracts everyone's attention.)

Pyrrha: Will not? Or cannot?

(Pyrrha walks into the room.)

Ladybug: You!

(The two enemies walk up to one another.)

Ladybug: Spider-Senpai is dead. You will suffer as he did.

Pyrrha: To hell with your senpai!

Ladybug: No, to Hell with YOU!

(She grabs Pyrrha and they both disappear in a flash. They reappear in Paris.)

Pyrrha: Paris...

Ladybug: This is where I was born, and where you lose your dignity!

(Then Pyrrha uses her semblance to try to make the Eiffel Tower fall over Ladybug, who incredibly dodges it and attacks her by surprise. Pyrrha uses her semblance again to control her spear and try to make it hit her, but it was all in vain as she deflects it with her yo-yo various times. As Pyrrha tries to hit her with her shield, Ladybug jumps and then wraps her yo-yo around Pyrrha's neck before breaking her back with a kick.)

Ladybug: Michael is finally avenged. Be glad I didn't kill you!

Pyrrha: Ugh... I'm sorry...

(Then Cinder comes in)

Cinder: You don't seek retribution?

(Then Ladybug uses a blade yo-yo and cuts one of Cinder's eyes.)

Ladybug: You manipulated me, Cinder. Used me to try to get the Fall Maiden's powers.

(Then Kamen Rider Ichigo comes in.)

Ichigo: Leave her to me.

(Kamen Rider Ichigo jumps off and then...)

Ichigo: RIDEEER KIIIICK!

(Kamen Rider Ichigo kills Cinder Fall with his Rider Kick. Then he and Ladybug have a hug.)

Ladybug: Thank you so much for helping me, senpai.

Ichigo: I'm still not sure about being called senpai...

(Then the three are teleported back and the union students get shocked by seeing Pyrrha agonizing in the floor. Three of them glare at Jaune Arc, who is shocked as well.)

Ladybug: I defeated your champion! Now excuse me, I'm going with my new senpai.

(As Ladybug and Kamen Rider Ichigo walk away, Team R(W)BY carries Pyrrha while Nora, Ren and Weiss keep glaring at Jaune.)

Nora: You know whose fault it is, right?

Ren: Such a failed leader.

Weiss: Ozpin made a mistake!

(Then they start beating him as Cassie watches it.)

Cassie: Ouch.

(After they are done beating Jaune, the trio leaves as Raiden approaches Jaune, and heals him.)

Raiden: Be glad your friend is still alive. She may be useful against a bigger threat.

Jaune: Ladybug will pay for what she did to me!

Raiden: Pyrrha almost died by her own doings.

Jaune: Her own doings?

Raiden: The Union Academy has an history of making ruinous choices.

(Jaune glares at Raiden and tries to leave, but Raiden's words stop him.)

Raiden: Such as framing the weakest among them for crimes they didn't commit.

(Jaune turns around.)

Jaune: I am among those. If it weren't for Pyrrha, nobody else would believe me.

Raiden: Did you speak out against your team's participation in this tournament?

Jaune: We were invited by All Might.

Raiden: He pays you to kill true heroes. Betraying your own world? I expect better, even from someone who used fake transcripts.

Jaune: My loyalty is to Ozpin.

(He tries to walk off again, but Raiden stops him once more.)

Raiden: Victory for Union means the end of the heroes. And the huntsmen.

(Jaune pauses for a moment, but still walks off. Cardin, who has watched the whole exchange smirks as he secretly follows him.)

(To be continued)
