Fortunately, Majestia, Knightowl, Uncanny Valley and Sparrow appear and manage to defeat and capture him, while putting the turbine back in its place. Techno-Pirate is then placed in custody, but during transportation, he is Akumatized by Hawk Moth into Techclonizer to create a diversion while Hawk Moth steals the Eagle Miraculous and later gives it to Techno-Pirate after re-Akumatizing him, and he uses it to become Miraclonizer. He is defeated thanks to the combined efforts of Ladybug, Cat Noir, Uncanny Valley, Sparrow (later Eagle) and Knightowl, being put back in jail after being de-Akumatized.
