"Lila I need a favor," Marinette asked her as she saw her heading to the locker rooms..

Lila was annoyed as she was about to insult her. However she immediately paused as she remembered what the Future Lila told her, "Of course Marinette! How can I help you?"

Adrien noticed this interaction from the distance when he was talking to Nino, "Excuse me Nino I forgot something in my locker."

Marinette followed Lila as they went to the locker, "So what do you want Dupain Cheng?"

Marinette gave an eyerolled with crossed arms, "I know that last stunt you pulled to get me expelled benefitted you."

"Aww are you jealous of my phootshoot with Adrikins," Lila mocked trying to keep her cool.

"So here the deal," Marinette stated, "I need Gabriel Agreste number."

Lila huffed, "Now why would I do that?"

"You can have my seat behind Adrien," Marinette offered.

Lila eyes widen in shock, "Oh your serious, why?"

"Take it or leave it," Marinette responded to avoid answering Lila.

Lila shrugged as it was a good deal, "Fine."

Marinette handed her phone for Lila to type in the number, "Mrs. Bustier already know that you have been struggling with your grades because of your eyesight. So just feel free to sit there."

"So you thought this through?" Lila commented as she handed her phone back.

"You lie to get what you want and I arrange it to make it happen," Marinette commented.

Lila gave an eyeroll as she started to leave, "Nice doing buisness."

"It was a pleasure," Marinette commented as she watched her leave.

"What were you talking about with Lila?" Adrien appeared from behind the lockers in the next room.

"I knew there was a peeping tom," Marinette chuckles as she turned to face him, "Me and Lila were having a little girl chat."

"Right, you and Lila. Do you think I'm an idiot," Adrien responded.

"More like clueless," Marinette commented.

"I will find Hawkmoth and he will pay for whatever he did to you," Adrien threatened.

"If you only knew. See I'll explain, I feel in a charitable mood right now," Marinette spoke icily, "Now listen to me carefully."Marinette walked up to Adrien, "Go and tell everyone who I am."

"Mari, stop this, " Adrien started but stopped when Marinette touched his his cheek. She had done this many times but every time her expression was full of love or desire - never of hatred and disgust.

"Don't you dare disrespect me! Your in my world not in yours now. Go now pretty boy and tell the so-called heroes who I am to prepare for war," Marinette threatened.

"What are you going to do?" Adrien asked.

"It all depends on you," Marinette threatened, "Chaos will happen if you don't stay in line. So open up your eyes and just give me your ring."

"I'll take my chances," Adrien glared at her.

"I know you will. Don't think I don't know about Alix sudden disappearance. Your little scheme won't help you save the day. Only I can," Marinette warned.

"You can't win, I will save you."

"You can't save someone who is already dead," she said as she left the classroom.

"Hmm, hiding you guys is harder to do than it seems," Alix commented to Fluff as they walked through the borrow.

"Time is sensitive. Any action we take can effect our present, past, or future so we do have to be careful," Fluff reminded.

"Well its already too late for that,"Alix commented, "I need to know what Marinette knew."

"Aww Alice can't find wonderland?" Someone mocked behind her.

She turns to see Timetagger standing there in a fighting stance. Alix eyes furrowed to glare at him, "Your really getting on my nerves. Stop getting into my time stream and messing up time."

"You see the thing about time travel. The more you do it the less the rules applies to you," Timetagger explained, "Now give me that egg thing."

"Not a chance. Fluff, Clockwise!" Alix says as she transformed and immediately went through a portal.

Bunnix leaped out of her Burrow portal. Timetagger went after as she held the egg in hand. They both went through multiple time streams from the time Egypt was being built to the civil war in france. It was game of cat and mouse and Alix was the mouse. It gave her an advantage as she arrive to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius she was able to hide away and escape the chase as he was on her tail. She went through her burrow to then finally escape Timetagger. She was panting, covered with soot as she returned into her burrow.

"Fluff, counter clockwise," Bunnix commanded as she transformed back.

Fluff appeared and fell into her hand, "We lost him but he was able to find me here."

"He has access to the burrow we must find somewhere in the timeline to hide," Fluff suggested.

Alix nodded in agreement as she then heard foot steps. Without having much time to be able to look around she jumped into a portal.

"Adrien is at his fencing lessons."

"I'm here to see Gabriel Agreste," Marinette said to the intercom of the gates of his home.

"He is very busy Ms. Dupain Cheng," Nathalie replied.

"Mayura he is expecting me," Marinette commented.

The intercom immediately went silent and the gates opened. Marinette then walked in to find Gabriel and Natahalie standing side by side, "Ms. Dupain Cheng," Gabriel address her to state her buisness.

"I go by many names. The one you need to know is that I use to be Ladybug," Marinette then transformed into Lady Misfortune, "I now go by Lady Misfortune."

Gabriel and Nathalie stepped back in shock, "What is the meaning of this?"

"I'm here to join forces and save your wife," Lady Misfortune stated.

"Gabriel..." Natalie said in fear as she looked at him.

"Your anger is strong..." Gabriel stated in confusion as he felt the immediate connection to the akuma, "How are you akumatized?"

"Your future self of course," Lady Misfortune explained, "I know you were not meaning to be a villian."

"All I want is my wife back," Gabriel sighed knowing she was right.

"I know," Lady Misfortune sympathize, "So let's get Chat Noir Miraculous to make that wish."

"Ugh, where am I?" Alix asked as she fell through her burrow.

"Looks like Paris," Fluff commented.

Alix looks up to see a crumbled building, remains of the effiel tower, "Uh this does not look like Paris. When are we?"

Then thet heard a slight moan, immediately Alix transformed into Bunnix, "Who's there!" She ordered as she used her umbrella as a form of light.

The light created a spot light and landed on a man chained to wall, "Alix?" He stated but looked away from the blinding light.

"Who are you?" she asked as she froze in her steps as he knew her identity.

"No she isn't here, it's not real," he mumbles to himself then took a breath as he looked up.

Before he can react, immediately Alix recongize the green eyes and face of her friend, "Adrien?"

The man smiled as he bowed his head to give a sighed of relief, "It's good to see you again Alix."

Without much thought she saw him chained to the wall, "What happened?"

"You miss a lot after 10 years," Adrien explained.

"What? No! Your telling me Hawkmoth won?" Bunnix says in confusion as she looked out into the city, "It can't be..."

"It was never about Hawkmoth," Adrien started to explained but started to cough.

"We've got to get you out of here," she said as he tugged on the shackles that chain Adrien to the wall.

"Its no use. You have to go back Alix, before your in danger," Adrien warned.

Bunnix would not accept that as she tugged harder, "Sorry your a damsel who needs saving Adrien. My job is to save you."

Bunnix then aimed her umbrella to break the chains that held him to the wall. He sighed with relief as he was finally able to lay his arms down and fell to the floor. He groaned as his pale green eyes fluttered open. He sat up slowly, rubbing his head as he did so. "Ugh." he moaned out. He was dazed, but everything before the impact was so clear. He pulled himself up from the ground, dusting the dust off him, "You were always so stubborn in taking orders."

"Right, so now tell me why is Paris is in ruins," Bunnix demanded an answer.

"We don't have not much time," Adrien said as he got up and went to the exit to see any kind of guards.

"What's going on?" Bunnix added Adrien as he made a lookout.

"Alix I been a prisoner for that wall for years, I don't want to stick around," Adrien said as he started to take the exit.

"We can take the time stream shortcut," Bunnix offered as she followed him.

"I told you to leave and go home," Adrien argue.

"I came for answers. I'm staying," Bunnix argues back.

"Then follow me," Adrien warned as the effiel tower led to a secret underground tunnels.

"Adrien what happened to the city?"

Adrien ignored her as continued his way. Bunnix continues to question him but he kept replying to avoid answering. Bunnix was finally done with his silent treatment as he wouldn't respond or look at her. She then created a burrow to appear in front of him, "Adrien why won't you answer me! I come to find answers and I ended up saving you! You haven't even said thank you! Why won't you look at me!"

Adrien sighed as he looked down at Alix, "because you've been dead for 10 years!!"

"What?" Bunnix froze as her face went white.

"Is that the answer you expected. Nothing of this future is what we expected it to be. Lady Misfortune won! There is no hope or solution to this problem," Adrien barked his answer.

"What about..."

"The Miraculous team? Gone, enslaved, brainwashed. I'm the only one left. Conscious to know everything and tormented to not be able to do anything," Adrien finished as he make his way passed her.

"Your free now," Bunnix tried to offer a bright side, "The city needs you."

"No one needs me," Adrien sighed quietly as he continued.

"Yes, they do! You're a hero!"

"Heros don't exist anymore. All their is left is despair and no hope," He commented as he stopped in his steps, "The akumas took over and destroyed everything. We are hell on Earth."

"What?" Bunnix asked in disbelief.

"Everything's destroyed. There's no food. No water. Everyone is in poverty. I let it happened to them. I can't go back."

"Why?" Bunnix asked as she tried to reason with him.

"You wouldn't understand."

Bunnix yelled, "What wouldn't I understand?"

Adrien thought about when he joined Lady Misfortune to become Chat Blanc. Then all the events that occured after, "It doesn't matter."

Bunnix asked in a confused tone, "What?"

Adrien explained, "Look, sometimes bad things happen..."

Bunnix tried to stop him from finishing his thought, "Adrien!"

Irritated, Adrien continued, "...And there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry?"

Adrien then continued and Bunnix went after him as he started to climb up the stairs that led to a secret room.

Bunnix yelled, "Because it's your responsibility!"

"Well, what about you? YOU left to hide the miraculous," Adrien argues as he tried to put the blame on her in some aspect.

"I left to find answers! And I found YOU. Don't you understand? You're our only hope to stop this future from happening."

"Everything is already set in stone. Sorry."

"What's happened to you? You're not the Adrien I know," Bunnix persuaded to continue to argue with him.

Adrien blurted, "You're right. I'm not. Now are you satisfied?"

"No, just disappointed." Bunnix was finally done with the conversation, "Your sounding a lot like her now."

Adrien froze as he recalled this same conversation with Lady Misfortune all those years ago. He was cut by her words to argue, "Listen, you think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life? You don't even know what I've been through!"

"I would if you would just tell me!" Bunnix demanded once more.

"Forget it!" Adrien growls as began to look through the stuff in the hidden room.

"Fine!" Bunnix barked as she went down the stairs and stomped away.

Adrien groans as he sat on an old mattress and spilled some items in disappointment of his action. He then pulled out a picture that has fallen out of it beside a engagement ring, artifacts of his old life. The picture was a selfie of him with his friends. Then he looked to see another picture on the floor of his mother, "I'm sorry I can't be with you and dad." He then dropped his photos and lay back to look at the ceiling in despair.

Bunnix was able to find an exit that lead to the river. She wasn't ready to leave as she sat at the edge of the river, "so this mission came out well. There is no solution." She pulled out to look at the egg, "So much for Ladybug trusting me."

"Aww so did fluffy tail lose its carrots," Timetagger appeared from behind taunting her.

"You found me in not a good mood," Bunnix growled as she turned to face him and extended her umbrella.

"Aww bad timing," Timetagger mocked as he draw out his spray cans in a threatening way

Bunnix warmed up her umbrella, "You will repair the damage you have done to my past!"

"Damage? Silly girl. There's nothing wrong with your past," Timetagger laughed, "One cannot damage history, because history cannot be changed."

Bunnix then tried to charge Timetagger but missed as he avoided her attack.

"Past, present, future. It's all written in stone, my dear." Timetagger says from behind as he kicked her down, "And nothing you do can ever change it."

Bunnix lost grip of her umbrella as it fell across the floor.

"So lets stop making it so hard and hand over the egg."

Bunnix felt defeated and had no choice. She sighed as she pulled the bag to reveal the egg. She sighed when she looked up at Timetagger and realize that there is no hope. She can't even escape Timetagger, "Fine, you win."

Timetagger was reaching for the egg when all of the sudden he was kick down to the floor. Bunnix held onto the egg as her eyes closed. When she open them she couldn't believe her eyes.

"It's good to see you again," Chat Noir smiled as he offered to help her up.

Bunnix eyes popped as he helped her up, "Chat Noir?"

Chat Noir shrugged, "I haven't used that name in a long time. Still need help?"

Bunnix nodded but with disappointment on her face, "There is nothing you can do. There is nothing anyone can do. The past cannot be repaired, the future cannot be altered, no matter how wrong it seems."

"So, it's impossible," Chat Noir went to pick up Timetagger spray cans to release the akuma, "Good. If memory serves, we've done the impossible before."

"Like surving!" A women voice interjected into the conversation. They turned to see Lady Misfortune walking towards them.

"You..." Chat Noir growled at her presence.

"Its been a long time kitty." Lady Misfortune approached.

"Bunnix leave now," Chat Noir warned her as this is something she can't stay for.

Bunnix immediately nodded as she knew she couldn't stay to battle as this was a fight between them. She then created a portal with her umbrella, "Wait is there no..." she step uneasily but stops to look at him as he started to appraoch Lady Misfortune, "Please, must this really be our future?"

Chat Noir didn't give no answer as he approached Lady Misfortune.

"Is there nothing I can do to change it?" Bunnix tried again to ask for an answer.

Chat Noir turned back to finally say, "I'm sorry, Bunnix. There isn't time. It was great seeing you again. Tell my past self that nothing is worth sacrificing to have everything."

Bunnix nodded as she made a step through the portal to disappear,"You think she'll make it?" Chat Noir asked Lady Misfortune as he turn back to face her.

"I dont know," Lady Misfortune responded.

"You let her go," he comments at how she didn't put any effort to stop her.

"I'll let her try," Lady Misfortune explained.

"How about you and I?Are we going to try again?" Chat Noir asked.

"A great deal has changed," she commented.

"You haven't, not a bit."

"I missed those awkward compliments of yours," She complimented.

"Good thing I'm done living in the past. I'm done making excuses for you. I'm done worrying when you'll snap. I'm done letting you control my happiness," Chat Noir extended his staff, "I hate you."

"I can feel your anger," she said, as he slammed his staff into her scissor-like defense from her Marionette sticks, "your hatred." Her feet snapped out and swept him off his feet. "Is this what has become of my once-proud parthner?Perhaps I was wrong."

Rolling back to get momentum, Chat Noir jumped to his feet in a single, fluid motion. "It wouldn't be the first time. You betrayed everything we stood for," he shot back, "I will avenge what you've done to the memory of the women I love! I waited long enough!"

"I'm glad I gave you something to look forward to after all these years. Marinette Dupain Cheng was weak. I destroyed her."

"Then I will avenge her death," Chat Noir growled.

Lady Misfortune's uppercut knocked his staff apart and her hand latched itself around his neck. "Revenge is not the hero way," she said with the same calmness that she'd had earlier. Without any ceremony or warning, Chat Noir flipped away from her grasp to get his staff as his eyes glowed.

"I am not a hero."
