Timebreaker laughed with an air of malevolence and superiority. "You're too late, little heroes! Zoe's gone for good!"
Nathaniel glared at Timebreaker. "How could you?!"
"How dare you!" Jade threw his shield at her, only for her to dodge. Timebreaker then started to levitate in the air.
"She can fly?! When did she..." Cat Noir started to ask.
Timebreaker ascended into the air, raised her arms and soon a sword appeared in her hands.
The scream was heard again. The akuma had reached Alix and it had entered a heart shaped pendant. A light mask formed around her eyes.
Nino ran towards Alix. Kim started to say, "Alix..."
"You don't have to do this!" Nino exclaimed.
She looked towards Nino. "What are you doing here?"
"I've come here to deliver a message."
"If you're telling me to leave Zoe alone, you may as well forget it!"
"Zoe's gone!" Nino exclaimed. He started crying. "She's dead and it's all your fault!"
Alix gasped. "Is that true?"
She walked forth, her mask still present.
"What's happening?!" Kim asked.
"I don't know!" Max answered.
The entire class looked at the scene below. One of the two Abeilles (Nino couldn't tell which was which) was absorbed by Timebreaker. Jade Ninja, two Ladybugs, two Cat Noirs and two Renards were there. Alix slowly walked down the stairs. Nino and Kim ran down to the battlefield, much to everyone's shock. The two tried to restrain Alix, who was making her way to Timebreaker, presumably to aid her. A mask of light appeared on Timebreaker's face.
"Now Timebreaker, get the Miraculous!" Hawkmoth commanded.
Suddenly Alix broke free from Nino and Kim and Timebreaker's light mask vanished. Alix still had a light mask around her and Timebreaker looked towards her. "Ah, come to join me?"
"No," she began. "I came to stop you!"
"What?" Timebreaker asked.
"What?!" everyone else asked.
She ran towards Timebreaker trying to grab something, only to be thrown into a wall by her evil counterpart. The audience gasped.
Nino ran away to quickly transform. "Wayzz, scales on!"
By the time he got back, Alix was rising from the ground. And his past counterpart had faded away into nothing.
"What? But how?" the Ladybugs asked.
"What?" Alix asked. "What's the problem? Aside from the fight?"
"You're not frozen." the past Cat Noir answered.
"And you still have your akuma light mask." the Cat Noir from the future said.
"Is that so?" She smirked. "And I'm not letting Hawkmoth take me! Not again!" She groaned in agony and placed her hand to her forehead.
Jade Ninja fought against Timebreaker as she looked towards Alix. "I thought you wanted to destroy Zoe. You should happy." Timebreaker said.
"I wanted to beat her up, not kill her! She didn't deserve the death sentence!" Alix retaliated.
Future Cat Noir attacked her, but she sapped his energy by grabbing his wrist.
"NO!" the future Ladybug screamed.
"Not again!" the other screamed.
Timebreaker's light mask appeared again. "Take his Miraculous!"
As the light mask disappeared. "Don't you dare." Alix said, standing in front of him as he vanished.
"Do you have a death wish?"
"You can't kill me."
Timebreaker knew that was true. She then got the present Abeille. That was bad. Renard was using illusions of traps to try and trick her, but she saw through all of them. Timebreaker shot hate arrows everywhere. Future Ladybug saw how dire the situation was getting.
"Lucky Charm!" she exclaimed, using her superpower.
She conjured a crown of fake flowers. It had a daisy, pink rose bud, a green lily, a blue flower, a daffodil, a red flower bud and an orange rose bud. It was an exact replica of Zoe's flower crown.
"What are you supposed to do with that?" her present self asked.
Hawkmoth spoke to Alix again. "Alix, join her... You could possibly prevent your secret from ever being exposed."
Suddenly, Alix felt petrified. Ladybug was out of ideas, so she threw the flower crown as the akuma slowly began engulfing her. Then she saw the flowers. She stopped and suddenly cried. "No! I won't join you! Never again!" A bright orange-red light surrounded her and spread throughout the room. Everyone was blinded by the bright light. Timebreaker and future Jade Ninja were still blinded after the light disappeared. Alix, who no had the light mask, grabbed Timebreaker's necklace. "Hey Ladybug! Catch the akuma and end this war!" She smashed it on the ground, releasing Timebreaker's akuma. The future Ladybug caught it and released it. The flower crown appeared back in her hands. "Miraculous Ladybug!"
Everything was turned back to normal. All of the superheroes become one person. Zoe reappeared right where she was frozen by Timebreaker. Zoe went back home. While the other superheroes were interviewed by Max and Alya (who got full footage of the fight), Nino went back to the locker as he got a text message. It was from Zoe.
I went back home. They let me in, but they want an explanation for why you're not here.
He texted back, Tell them that I was speaking to Adrien.
It was a lie, but hopefully they'd buy it. He went back home, went to his room, put his backpack down and collapsed onto his bed.
"What a day..."
"And you still have Trigonometry."
"Ugh.. Pre Cal..."
He reluctantly got started on his homework. He didn't even understand the lesson and soon fell asleep. He saw visions of a flower crown falling apart, as if it was being ripped into pieces. He woke up when he heard Wayzz calling his name.
"I hate to bother you, but we got a big problem."
"What is it?"
"Well, you better see for yourself."
Nino walked into the bathroom and looked at the fishtank, only to find roughly hundred baby goldfish there.
"Holy cow! There's a ton of fish! But how? I thought the clerk said they both male."
"Apparently, she was wrong. One of them was a girl... And they laid eggs."
"But why so many?"
"Well, unlike humans, who have only a few offspring and care for them, most fish have several offspring and leave them behind in hopes that some will survive."
"That's cruel..."
"Well many fish eggs are usually eaten by other predators because they're out in the wild. But since they're safe in a fish tank here..."
"There's no threat to them. Oh man, there's no way I can keep all of them. What am I going to do with a hundred plus goldfish?"
Suddenly Nino's phone started ringing, playing the chorus of Livin La Vida Loca loudly. Alya was calling for a videochat call with him.
"Oh damn. She's probably mad at me for not coming to see her."
Wayzz suggested, "Better be a man and speak to her."
Reluctantly, he pressed the accept button.
