## Major Events

* The heroes decide not to deal with Chloé's bid for power, because while she is definitely a villain, she is not an akumatized supervillain. They decide to let the system handle her.
* Chloé allows Monarch to akumatize her into Queen Mayor, and though she has no superpowers herself, she also didn't look like a costumed villain, making it impossible for anyone to tell that she was Akumatized. This also allows Monarch to give her the powers of Sublimation, Venom, Voyage, Shell-ter, and Resistance, all of which were transferred to her police robots.
	+ Chloé also forces FanBeemon to digivolve even further, but due to her own arrogance, this resulted in Waspmon to Dark Digivolve into MetalPhantomon, and later evolves to Reapermon.
	+ The police robots patrol the city while using Sublimation to make themselves invisible. If someone was caught breaking the rules, or if Chloé simply felt like it, the robots would immobilize that person with Venom and use Voyage to teleport them to Chloé inhumane detention facility.
* As Chloé is hosting a big campaign rally, the heroes finally decide to act, but are captured by the robots with Shell-ter, and their powers cannot get them out because the barriers are combined with Resistance.
* Just as they are about to detransform back, the heroes have a major epiphany about what it truly means to be a hero, resulting in them "growing up" and allowing Ladybug and Cat Noir to use their superpowers without timing out. Additionally, in quick sucession...
	+ Jeanne takes over Kimberly's body for the first time despite her friendly nature, inadventently unlocking Glitter Harmony's Knight Mode temporailiy.
	+ Juliana, Annabelle, Luke, Molly, Glorysia and Caitlin finally awaken their ability to transform into their Magical Warrior forms for the first time.
