What if Hawk Moth talked to the Timebreaker who came back before he created another one?
Time Pair Doxxed
There was a flash of light and Timebreaker appeared on the landing of the stair overlooking the Trocadéro. Ladybug was pulled along with her. As Timebreaker stopped, Ladybug's momentum sent her tumbling to the ground.
"Whoa, w-what just happened?" asked Ladybug.
She got up and looked below. She saw that Alix had just completed her first lap in the race with Kim. The kids from her class were cheering her on, including Marinette (who was holding a banner).
"Oh wow, we've gone back in time, haven't we?" said Ladybug.
Chloé grabbed Alix's watch from Adrien. "Whatcha got there?"
"Careful, it's Alix's!" sad Adrien.
"What is this?" Chloé asked. "Some super old case or something? If it's Alix's, it's probably worthless."
"Give it back to Adrien, Chloé," said the Marinette who was down there with them.
"My watch!" shouted Timebreaker.
"Chloé! Put the watch down!" called Ladybug.
Timebreaker launched herself into the air, going after Chloé, who looked up and dropped the watch out of fear. It broke.
"Noooo!" shouted Timebreaker.
Alix heard her and saw what happened to her watch. She stopped skating.
"Ladybug, this time it's your fault! I need more energy. I gotta go further back in time!" said Timebreaker.
Alix skated up to look at her broken watch on the ground. "Ladybug. It's all Ladybug's fault!"
Alix knelt down by the watch and began to cry.
"Everyone, get our of here! Don't let her touch you!" called Ladybug from above, warning about Timebreaker.
The crowd scattered.
In his lair, Hawk Moth sensed the emotions of Alix, and the nearly identical emotions of an akuma victim he had not created. She was exactly like one that he intended to create, with time-travel powers. She had to be from the future.
"Could this be possible? Do I see double vision in my future? Or should I say double villain?" said Hawk Moth to himself.
Hawk Moth decided to first take advantage of knowledge from the future. He made a mental link to Timebreaker.
"Timebreaker of the future, I could create a second Timebreaker to help you. Before I do, tell me how things went the first time."
"Things are going terrible," said Timebreaker aloud. "My watch got broken again this time around. I wanna go back further in time."
"But what about your mission for me?" asked Hawk Moth. "Did you get Chat Noir's ring and Ladybug's earrings? Do you have them with you, and can bring them to me or put them somewhere I can retrieve them?"
"Nah. I faded out Chat Noir in the future and I didn't get his ring. But Ladybug is here. She followed me in time."
"What? I told you to get his ring and her earrings, didn't I?"
"How am I supposed to do that? I can't touch anyone without stealing their time energy. The only way I could do it without fading Chat Noir would be to touch just the ring itself and not his hand. Impossible when he's fighting me."
"What about once you've touched him and he started to fade?"
"Ladybug wouldn't let me get anything off of him before he faded out. When I left there I told future Hawk Moth I had a sick plan."
"What is the plan?"
"This time I'm gonna fade out both Ladybug and Chat Noir and go back even further in time. I'll save my watch."
"And you'll get me the Miraculouses?"
"Well... I dunno. Maybe. Like the other Hawk Moth, you may be left behind on a timeline with no Miraculouses. But I'll have my watch."
"Your sick plan makes me sick. You are useless to me. I will remove your power and I won't create a second copy."
"But what about my watch?"
"Forget it."
The purple butterfly came out of one of Timebreaker's inline skates, and in a cloud of magic the villain from the future reverted to a copy of Alix.
Future Ladybug, who had just sent her counterpart running home to take care of Mrs. Chamack's cake, looked on in puzzlement. Where had Timebreaker gone? There were two copies of Alix instead.
Ladybug swung down and touched the Alix from the future. "Are you all right?"
"No," said Alix. "I messed up with Hawk Moth and now I'll never get my watch back."
"You remember everything that happened?" asked Ladybug.
"Yeah. I hate what I did as Timebreaker. I killed people in that timeline. Coming here created a new branch where that won't happen, which is good."
"How can we get back to our own timeline?" asked Ladybug.
"We can never go back. We're stuck here as time doubles."
"We'll face that later. Come on, let's follow that akuma butterfly. If Hawk Moth pulled it from you it may go back to him."
"Can you do a cure if you catch it?" asked Alix. "Will it send us back?"
"I don't know. Usually I have to break the akumatized object first, and release the butterfly. Now there's no object."
Ladybug held out an arm. Carrying Alix, she swung after the butterfly.
"If the cure doesn't work, I have another plan. I hate to do it, but we could make a deal with Hawk Moth to get us back home."
