(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: Miya, there is an emergency of the magical kind. Are you free?

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: I'm now! What happened?

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: A schoolmate got Akumatized and started turning everyone into plushies. We finally located her and are heading there to hopefully get her back to normal.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: gl.maps

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: Akumatized? What does it mean?

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: There is this villain called Hawk Moth that is able to corrupt people when they are emotionally vulnerable.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: This time he did it to Usagi Tsukino, I don't know if you have met.

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: That's low! How dare it!

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: And yes. She was so nice when I popped up at her party!

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: Usagi is really nice, her classmates though... not so much.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: They bullied her for weeks by scaring her with "tests of courage".

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: That's low! How dare they!

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: And that would explains the emotional vulnerability.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: Well, not all of them, her best friend Naru isn't in that group.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: Naru is with her even now, last I heard she was fine and keeping in contact with Cat Noir (a magic user that is familiar with Hawk Moth's methods).

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: That's good to hear! Sorry for the late reply, had to power up. Missed the text notification over the background music of my transformation sequence.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: And yes, were it not for her classmates, we wouldn't be in this debacle.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: Be careful, Hematite (one of the Shitennou) is also there.

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: Well, seems like -that- issue will have to wait... as they say, call the firefighters before calling the police to investigate who started the fire.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: I don't know what side he will be on, that depends on the day typically.

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: ...Shitennou? There's another new word.

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: Who are they?

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: Dark Generals serving under Queen Beryl, I only know Jadeite of the others.

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: Generals? At the direct orders of a Queen? This thing is starting to sound more and more like an international intrigue as things proceed!

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: Inter...dimensional, I suppose, if that's anything like the kingdom Enji comes from?

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: We are lucky it's not. We don't have neither the time nor the strength to deal with them.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: Hematite is there because of personal reasons.

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: ...Personal? Does he have a beef with this... Hawk Moth individual?

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: Or... an alliance, I guess, since we don't know what side he'll be?

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: He has personal reasons to care about Usagi. It's not really my place to say.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: So I don't know whether he will listen to her or help us get her back. Possibly a mix.

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: Oh, gotcha! That makes sense.

(PHONE) Coco Kiumi texts: I am almost at Kobayashi now, see you there!

(PHONE) Miya Sakamoto texts: Roger! Thanks for the heads up!
