She looked at the dead bodies before her and smirked. She had done it. She had done what her master before her had failed to do.
Luna moth made her way down the dusty steps, her cream robes shone in the light of the moon enclosing her just as her name suggested. She bent low to see the bodies laying before her. She took the ring off the girls slender finger and rolled her off of her partner using her foot. She held no remorse as she grinned and all but ripped the earrings from the blue haired boys ear.
Dark wings fall
a transition of cream and purple immersed Luna moth and revealed Lila. A washed up version of her former teenage beauty. Life had not been kind to her but she knew where it all went wrong. When she was a teenager people loved her, worshipped her and then that Ladybug ruined all of that. She took her glory, her fame overshadowed by those stupid heroes. If that wasn't enough that bug brat took the man she knew had been destined for her. Procreated these half-breeds before her.
The tallest one had gone down first. He must have been about 18 or 19. He had been blasted trying to protect the others. Cat-bug, a ridiculous name, although with some of the Akuma names she had come up with in the past year she supposed it wasn't really her place to say, although she had to come up with hers on the spot, he had years to realise his name was stupid and do something about it.
The blood that had poured from his body had already cooled and started dripping through the floorboards of the converted attic room. His blood covered the area around himself and his sibling as well where they had instantly gone to his aid. Their mistake. Their love and compassion had given Lila the perfect opening to attack and with the spotted bug disarmed there was no lucky charm waiting for him to fix this. After that it was just a waiting game until her next opening.
She had dodged the cataclysm from chatton and the fall had caused the girl to not only destroy the side of the room but to also break her wrist as she fell from the roof. Unfortunately the fall had not killed her and she had eventually made her back up to the fight with her ring beeping frantically but her stubbornness to refuse to leave her partners.
The lucky spotted bug had nearly gotten lucky when he had came close to grabbing the butterfly broach on her robes. Unfortunately her will to succeed outweighed his luck and the bad luck of his twin sister had kicked in. As he made to grab the broach, to quick for Lila to do anything to protect herself had taken a step back and the hatch from the loft had opened revealing chatton and the spotted bug had slammed straight into the wood giving Lila the opportunity to move away.
They tried the pincer attack, each coming from the other side, it was their last move as their miraculous beeped frantically, too rushed, too much anger for their older brother, they charged in and Lila jumped and blast down at the right time causing them both to become unconscious. Not to risk anything she had proceeded to slit their throats. Which brought her to here. This moment.
Having unclipped the broach and placed it in a jar on the table, she screwed on the lid and slipped the cat miraculous on her finger. Without hesitation she pushed the earrings into her ears. She had to hand it to the boy, he had style having both earrings in the same ear so she followed suit.
Plagg emerged first "Emmmmmaaaaaa... chheeeeeeeeseeeee, im, really, really, -" what Plagg wanted to say was never finished when he realised he wasn't there with Emma, or at least she was no longer there with them. Tikki had appeared shortly after Plagg and she flew straight to him hugging him tight and shaking like a leaf. He patted her head reassuringly.
Lila looked at the kwami triumphantly. She held the glass jar close to her chest. "I have a wish..." her voice was broken and manic and fearfully elated.
Like some sort of dramatic movie unfolding around them the atmosphere became quite and chilled. The calm before the storm. Her voice in a steady form now she boomed out to the heavens. Dropping to her knees, blood staining her clothes from the children before her.
"by the power of the miraculous which I hold. Destruction and Creation. I command we combine as one and full fill the desire of my heart." Plagg and Tikki were sucked into the miraculous jewellery and Lila transformed into a magnificent black and red gown. The dress itself reached only her thighs with knee high boots on beneath her and a beautiful flow of material like a tail or train coming from behind the dress. The upper half of the dress was a silken and lace adorned corset, set off with matching cat ears on her head and a collar with little bell. She held up the staff in her hand which had the yo-yo attached to the top.
She held the staff above her head and span the yo-yo round and round slowly at first and then gathering speed. The contents around her started to spin into the tornado she was creating around her, this her at the centre, unmoving and laughing manically and the sky changed between night and day, sun and rain, snow and hail, and the seasons changed. Leaves flew back onto trees and changed back to green only to retreat into buds and re-materialise on the ground as the trees shrank.
Realising the ache in her arms as the seasons passed rapidly around her and the room changed back into the observatory that once stood there, she realised her hand was struggling to hold the jar with the butterfly miraculous in. She saw hawk-moths destruction backwards, it looked like a resurrection. She saw the countless times of him coming and going in rapid succession.
Her hand on the glass jar dropped and it smashed, taking the butterfly broach with it into the time swirling chaos. She dropped to her knees as she found she could no longer stand and her hips ached. The energy was drained from her and she collapsed. Losing the transformation and whilst doing so the miraculous vanished from both her ear and finger and she was just herself again. Lying in rags on the floor of the Agreste observatory.
A light alerted her to the presence of someone else in the room. She cowered trying to stand and unable to as her hands slipped and gave way. She had no choice but to look up at him. His glare showed her that he wasn't as surprised to see here there as she thought.
He was already transformed into the dreaded Hawk-moth himself. The butterfly's around them fluttered around waiting for their call. Waiting for their duty.
"My plan, it seems, has failed twice now." he looked down at the woman before him. "it seems you could not wield the magic to go back in time far enough. Also, interesting side effects. Unless of course you were this age before you managed to get the miraculous." a smirk adorned his features as if he knew she wouldn't have been as old as she seemed now.
For the first time since her arrival, Lila looked down at her hands. The skin was baggy and wrinkled. Liver spots crawled up her hands and arms. She felt her hair and face and realised it was the same. She had been nearly 40 when she had obtained to miraculous she was now more than 80.
"All magic comes with a price" she rasped out at the towering Hawk-moth figure. "I presume my former young self lives? I am, - She is, young, and exactly who she should be?"
"Yes, I had her and her father over to dinner just the other week actually." Gabriel replied. "I could tell then that she had such hate in her and she would make a fine ally. Seems I chose well, if you were able to get back here it means something happened to me and you were successful?" Hope gleamed in his eyes.
"give me the miraculous" he held out his hand and she shrank back with shame and fear.
"I used them up, I used them up to get here"
Hawk-moths fury was second to none as he howled in rage. He still needed them to bring back his wife. The tragic accident had been his fault and so he told the world she disappeared. Became secluded and cold. She was the sunshine in his life and he needed her back at any cost. Making his mind to be done with this old lady and throw her out onto the streets or call the police as she was 'mentally unstable' she spoke, seeming to know what was on his mind.
"You and I, Gabriel Agreste made a deal." she growled "I get you out of prison and back to this life" she waved her hand around the room "and you give me your son, his hand, the top Italian model and Paris's finest. There is no better match. You also promised me the Bug. The lady bug miraculous is mine until we can get them both"
Hawk-moth sneered once more. "I cannot marry my son to an old woman, neither can I pretend your beauty hasn't faded dramatically with the years. I also cannot give you the ladybug miraculous as I do not have it. Remember?"
Lila laughed mockingly. "I mean my other self you heartless bastard. And I know who the bug is. I know where to find her." she smiled wickedly as did Hawk-moth
"Then, my future daughter-in-law, your timing is impeccable. I was down here to start honing my skills. I know as soon as I release my first little Akuma the miraculous will show up to stop me. I shall instead start with you."
Hawk-moth held his hand out and a white butterfly flew into his hands. "My little Akuma, there is a presence here in need of our help."
the butterfly bubbled into black and purple and settled on the hair tie in Lila's hair. Her form became small and almost kwami like in appearance as she bowed to hawk-moth and phased out of the building towards a bakery she knew all too well.
She settled on top of the building. She had been here 2 days already and then she saw it. The old man saved by the girl and his smile on his face. She ran off to school with what macaroons she had left and the old man transformed to his turtle like state and slipped into her room leaving the ladybug miraculous behind.
Lila phased in after he left and took the box to someone much more deserving. After leaving a note and dropping it on the dressing table she phased out of the wall and as quick as possible to the Agreste mansion to inform Gabriel that it was time.
She noticed Adrien running around the corner obviously escaping to go to school as he first did all those years ago, well, in the present now she supposed.
She reached Gabriel just in time to inform him stone heart was being prepared and ready as they speak and that Lila will be Ladybug and do whatever he needs her to do. She knew she didn't have long. Her fabric of reality was slipping as her younger self found the small box and the note.
"take care of me Gabriel" her small kwami like self sighed as she dispersed into the air, that self no longer existed.
