A shorter chapter, but it ended where it ended and there was nothing I could do about it.

Chapter 19: Lady Wifi, Part 3

Ladybug beat Chat Noir to the lobby, but only by five seconds.

"Last I heard, Lady WiFi had moved back to the hotel," Ladybug said. "But for some reason, I'm not seeing any other updates."

"You're welcome," Chat Noir replied. He was leaning casually on his baton, but it was obvious he was proud of his work.

"Did you destroy the cell network completely?" Ladybug asked.

"Well, I figured there was no guarantee that she was still here," Chat Noir explained.

"Clever kitty," Ladybug replied, flicking the bell around Chat Noir's neck. "You practically rendered her useless. Now we just have to find her."

"Though I have a feeling that's going to be harder than it sounds," Chat Noir admitted. "Shall we start at the hotel?"

"I bet she's in the kitchen," Ladybug suggested, stumbling a bit as she landed on the hotel.

"Are you okay?" Chat Noir asked, grabbing her arm and helping her steady.

Ladybug nodded. "It's just my ankle."

"All of this activity it probably making it worse," Chat Noir said. "My wrist is definitely hurting more. Good thing I'm ambidet- ambientre-"

"Ambidextrous?" Ladybug asked. "I didn't think you were."

"Only when it comes to my baton," Chat Noir replied.

Ladybug smiled. "That's good. Now, let's go find Lady WiFi."

Ladybug and Chat Noir took the stairwell down to the kitchen and restaurant, where Lady WiFi was waiting for them.

"It's not over yet," Lady WiFi snarled.

"Looks like it's over to us," Ladybug replied. "Your powers don't work without cell service."

"You're forgetting," Lady WiFi said. "The wifi still works."

Ladybug and Chat Noir were forced to dart as Lady WiFi attacked them with pause buttons.

"Well it worked last time," Chat Noir complained, using his baton to deflect a pause button as he moved back next to Ladybug.

"I didn't think The Unclocker would have any effect on their powers," Ladybug muttered, spinning her yo-yo as a shield against the pause buttons. "But then again, I guess it makes sense that Lady Wifi can use wifi for her powers."

"True," Chat Noir admitted. "So now what?"

"Now we have to go for the phone," Ladybug said. "No other way around it."

"And how do we do that?"

Ladybug frowned. There was no obvious solution, but there had to be a way to the phone.

"The windows," Ladybug muttered. "We could crash through them."

"What?" Chat Noir questioned.

"Like The Bubbler," Ladybug explained. "We'll be out of her range, but she won't be out of ours."

"On a count of three?" Chat Noir asked.

Ladybug nodded. "One. Two. Three!"

Ladybug and Chat Noir both charged, surprising Lady WiFi. They crashed through the glass, acquiring a few scratches, and Ladybug threw her yo-yo as Chat Noir extended his baton to give them a soft landing.

Ladybug heard Lady WiFi yelp, and then a second later she was falling down after them, Ladybug's yo-yo around her waist.

Chat Noir grabbed Ladybug around her waist, hissing a bit as it pulled on his wrist.

Ladybug used her yo-yo to pull Lady WiFi towards her, then grabbed her wrist with one hand and her phone with the other.

Ladybug smashed the phone on her knee, and the winds picked up again.

Chat Noir rubbed his wrist, wishing it wasn't as painful as it was. Grabbing Ladybug like that had hurt.

Ladybug was also in pain, though she was trying to hide it. So much running and fighting, her ankle must be excruciating.

And with several more akumas to fight, neither injury would have any chance to heal.

Chat Noir watched as another hostage darted out of the room. Another person safe made it worth the pain.

"So who will you face next?" The Unclocker taunted.

Ladybug and Chat Noir exchanged looks.

"What do you think?" Ladybug asked.

"Reflekta was fairly harmless," Chat Noir suggested, though even the name made his feet ache. He had hoped to never face the prospect of wearing heels again.

Chloe huffed somewhere, showing she disagreed with that assessment.

Ladybug nodded. "Reflekta it is."

"Good luck," The Unclocker said. "Or not, actually."

"You're doing good, Unclocker," Hawkmoth congratulated. "They're getting more and more tired. It won't be long before they lose to a previous akuma, and I'll already have the miraculous."

"Glad to be of service," The Unclocker replied. "Anything to end this pointless feud."

"It's hardly pointless," Hawkmoth argued. "But that's not important at the moment. Soon, the past couple fights will have been erased, and you will have never been delayed as you were during the battle with Blasto."

"I just wish I could undo more than that," The Unclocker admitted.

"Don't we all," Hawkmoth acknowledged. "But don't lose focus. It won't be long until their fight with Reflekta has been brought to its end, and they return."

"That is, if they return."

So yes, there will be a backstory to The Unclocker. Eventually.
