I am not sure that Hawk Moth is there, strictly speaking. He could be an illusion made by a re-akumatized Volpina. This show loves to troll (Adrien revealing his identity?)

But as to why Hawk Moth is there...maybe he is very confident that with about 20 akumatized villains on his side, he can get Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, and he wants to coordinate them effectively on the ground. Maybe he's right, and he restores Emilie and she becomes Mayura. It seems a little early for that, but on the other hand, it seems to me that the only other real possibility for Mayura is Nathalie, and after seeing how even her akumatized form is based on assisting Hawk Moth, I'm just finding it hard to believe that she becomes "Hawk Moth's boss" without more character development than could be squeezed into a single episode.

Another possibility? Cat Noir and Ladybug become so desperate to defeat Hawk Moth, after his akumatized villains defeat them and are about to take their Miraculouses, that they use the Miraculouses powers together to make a "wish" to defeat Hawk Moth. For instance, a wish for Hawk Moth's minions to fall asleep. But this causes something to go wrong, which is Emilie waking up and becoming Mayura, making things worse.
