Panther got to his feet "looks like you've improved, but it won't be enough to save you!" Panther's left hand began to bubble with destructive energy "Destruction Art: Errosive Bog!" Panther placed his hand on the ground and it started to turn thick and black, all the Bewulf's looked at one another and nodded, all three jumped up digging their claws into the ceiling, Panther looked up "you learned your lesson from last time, but how much time does that save you?" More energy emitted from Panther's hand and he swiped it leaving a black trail at the ceiling "Destruction Art: Gatling Erasure!" tiny black spheres came out of the trail and flew like bullets at the three, all three managed to dodge them while Panther watched their movements "let's get rid of the clones first" he looked at all three, they all looked the exact same "screw it I'll just pick one" he jumped at one and struck him down, while falling the Beowulf spawned a clone and it kicked Panther into the ceiling, the other two clones jumped grabbing onto Beowulf's wrists and flung him into Panther who got stuck in the ceiling.
Breaking through to the next floor Beowulf then flung Panther through a wall and out of the building, Panther extended his staff and it stuck into the building catching him, he stood on the staff as Beowulf stared him down from inside the building, Panther walked over back in and took up his staff "gotta admit, this is gonna be harder than I thought" Beowulf then responded "glad I could make it challenging" Panther was visibly upset "that's the thing, I hate it when things are a challenge, running this business, directing and being the boss of a bunch of morons...all of it is barely worth the effort" Beowulf tilted his head "so quit, stop being evil and maybe join us in the fight against it, the battle for those Shards is so much bigger than any type of petty crime" Panther thought for a second "no, I've made my bed, I'm gonna sleep in it". Panther attacked Beowulf with staff strikes, Beowulf blocked them with his claws and trip kicked Panther, Beowulf then stabbed at Panther who wedged his staff between the blades of Beowulf's Tekko-Kage. Beowulf pushed against Panther as Panther struggled to fend him off,Panther pressed a button on his staff causing it to split in half, Panther moved his head to avoid the blades and struck Beowulf in the head with his new eskrima. Beowulf backed away and Panther stood up twirling the two metallic weapons "c'mon, let's hash this out" Beowulf and Panther clashed with one another each trying to find a gap in the other's defenses clashing eskrima with claw, Panther managed to trap one of Beowulf's arms and he flipped him over his shoulder, while being flipped, Beowulf curled both his legs and donkey kicked Panther in the chest releasing his grip, Panther stumbled backwards and Beowulf took advantage of it jumping in the air and spinkicking Panther and following up with a heavy righthook that dazed Panther, Beowulf retracted his claws and slid forward delivering a gut punch to Panther.
Beowulf pelted Panther with a rapid series of punches, Panther blocked a punch and hit Beowulf in the knee causing him to kneel, Panther then kicked Beowulf away, Beowulf caught himself with his hand just in time to blocka jab from Panther, Beowulf slipped down and elbowed Panther in the liver, he then slung Panther over his shoulder and ran forward before jumping straight into the ceiling with Panther, they both landed with Panther still on Beowulf's shoulder, Beowulf then slammed Panther into the ground breaking through to the floor where the battle started, Beowulf's clones were waiting as they all in unison hit Panther with a barrage of blows from all sides, Panther then roared "Enough!" a pulse of energy blew all of the clones back, Panther turned his attention toward the floor, Destructive energy seeped into Panther, it was wild as if it was fire, Panther dove toward the ground and made a large impact, the building suddenly started to turn black, he was taking the whole building down. The clones grabbed Beowulf and held him above the ground in a chain, slowly the clones began to disintegrate crying out in pain "sorry boys..." Beowulf said sorrowfully, suddenly he involuntarily spawned another clone that hung him lower buying him more time, the clone spoke "don't be sorry man, it's what we're here for..." the clone used the last of his strength to fling Beowulf straight at Panther, Panther saw this and put up a shield of energy, Beowulf stuck his claws right into it piercing it, he began go pry it open making a fissure that kept expanding.
Once it was big enough Beowulf dove straight at Panther tackling him to the ground, Beowulf made sure to not touch the ground, Beowulf then reeled back and punched Panther straight through the floor, the two started falling through the crumbling building inside the field of energy, Beowulf punched Panther with Panther responding with a punch of his own, the two continued this dance while breaking through multiple floors, Beowulf put his foot on Panther's chest and kicked him back into a pillar, Beowulf was fast approaching the decaying ground, if he touched it he would disintegrate, Beowulf saw a piece of debris and grabbed it, he chucked the hunk of rock at the floor, the rock broke through each floor down to the bottom level, Beowulf then crossed his arms, put his legs together and pointed his feet downward going straight through the holes, he landed on the ground floor as the building crumbled and collapsed around him, he saw an opening and dove through it avoiding the collapsing rubble. Beowulf looked back at the giant heap of stone and metal and rushed to it tossing parts of the debris "Timothy! Are you alright?!" He shouted with a response of silence, it felt like an eternity before a fist burst through the rubble striking Beowulf and sending him flying across the asphalt. Beowulf landed on his back but quickly got back to his feet, Panther climbed out atop the pile, Beowulf couldn't see his face but he could tell Panther was angry. Panther jumped down and twirled his staff "y'know, since you're fighting so hard to get this Shard it has to be important, what is it exactly?" Beowulf sighed "they're pieces of a Tome, an evil Time Witch is trying to get her hands on it so she can become all powerful and control the very flow of time, with it she can rewrite all of time with the snap of her fingers, she could reset the entire timeline and start anew if she wanted and wipe us all out if she so chooses..." Panther looked down "you're way in over your head on this man" Beowulf chuckled "yeah, I am, but I'm not gonna give up" Panther took out the Shard and tossed it to Beowulf "I know when I'm in over my head, but you don't so I'm gonna take my hat out of the ring now". Beowulf looked at the Shard "y'know, your father would've kept the Shard thinking he could beat Chrona, glad you're nothing like him" Panther nodded and turned to leave, until a voice echoed stopping both of them in their places "oh...how touching, but I really do need those Shards" Beowulf and Panther looked over to see a feminine figure standing there, Chrona has arrived.
Chrona approached the two, she looked at Panther "this doesn't concern you, turn tail and run while you can" Beowulf put the Shard away and lept away, Chrona suddenly appeared infront of Beowulf "you think you can hide from me?" Chrona kicked Beowulf back to where he was causing a massive impact, Beowulf lifted himself up and Chrona landed infront of him "nowhere to run now, I'm going to erase you from every timeline, and make sure your friends suffer in every timeline they find themselves in" Beowulf hit himself in the chest to sike himself up "you won't get those Shards, not as long as I'm concious" Chrona snickered "very well" Chrona and Beowulf charged at one another, both reeled back and collided fists, Chrona chuckled as both of them pushed, Chrona flicked her finger and sent Beowulf flying into a pile of debris, Beowulf recovered but Chrona was right on him throwing lightning fast kicks that Beowulf was barely able to block, a knee to the stomach caused him to double over, Chrona then elbowed him in the back of the neck slamming him to the ground, Chrona then kicked Beowulf causing him to slide across the ground. Beowulf got up and lept at Chrona, he threw a punch but Chrona grabbed his hand crushing it, Beowulf yelled in pain, Chrona then bent his wrist back and he got to his knees. Chrona punched him in the face dazing him, she then lifted him up and kicked him away, Beowulf hit a slab of building, he felt a warmness in his shoulder, he tried to get up but a sudden pain stopped him, he looked at his left shoulder to see it was impaled on a piece of rebar, blood leaked out of the wound "well, that's not kosher" Chrona approached him "such weak flesh, I don't have that problem" Beowulf coughed "yeah, you look like you need to moisturize" Chrona grabbed Beowulf by the shoulder causing him to wince in pain "the one thing that will truly make me happy when I get the Tome is wiping out your poor excuse for comedy" she then began to lift Beowulf while he was still impaled causing the rebar to carve further into his shoulder, he screamed in pain as she did it, suddenly a metal pole hit her away causing her to release Beowulf, Panther landed to Beowulf's side "sorry to interrupt, but that was getting disturbing" Panther touched the piece of rebar and disintegrated it "thanks Kitty..." Panther put his staff to his neck "don't call me that" Beowulf snickered and they both prepared to confront Chrona.
Chrona ran at the two, Beowulf and Panther charged in kine, Panther attacked with his staff but Chrona blocked it, she was about to strike but Beowulf slidekicked her in the shin causing her to trip, Panther swung again but she managed to block it again, she threw a kick into Panther's midsection blowing him away. Beowulf jumped at Chrona throwing a chop, she dodged it so Beowulf twirled and slashed with a heelkick but Chrona avoided that aswell punching Beowulf in the stomach, she then spinkicked him away, Panther came from behind and attacked, Chrona stepped out of the way and kicked Panther in the back knocking him down, she then stomped on Panther's back and dug her heel into his back, Beowulf tried to help and kicked at Chrona, she grabbed him by the heel and slammed him into Panther, she then kicked the two of them burying them deeper into the concrete "this is not going as we had hoped" Beowulf uttered with Panther groaning underneath him. Chrona picked Beowulf up, Beowulf threw his legs into her stomach knocking her back releasing him, Chrona gritted her teeth "Enough!" Chrona's hand glowed with a sickly yellow energy, Beowulf jumped at her but she then pointed her hand at him causing him to freeze in the air, she walked over to him and righthooked him, Beowulf felt the pain but didn't budge "I'm going to enjoy this" she then laid into Beowulf hitting him with punches and kicks. She caught her breath and snapped her fingers causing Beowulf to feel the impact of every blow, he felt his bones break and his skin bruise, he then flopped onto the ground motionless. Chrona pointed her finger at Beowulf gathering energy at the tip of it, Panther threw his staff at her and she blasted that instead "heh, nice delay but it's time to-" an arrow pierces her abdomen paralyzing her "wha-?" Beowulf looked up from his position, he saw his team standing atop the rubble, Arachna has Chrona ensnared, he could barely speak but he did "I...told you guys to leave if I failed" Arachna smirked "that was a shitty order so we ignored it" Beowulf lifted himself back up to his feet, barely able to stand "I guess I'm lucky all of you are so stubborn" Chrona oveepowered the arrow and grabbed it ripping it out of herself, the others rushed to Beowulf's side, even Panther was alongside them "okay guys, I have an idea, everyone hold onto me.
Beowulf then turned and thrusted his hand forward, Chrona rushed at the group but they were gone in an instant, Beowulf opened his eyes to see that he was holding a giant rock sticking out of the ground, Beowulf sighed in relief with the group looking around panicked "what happened?!" Cascade asked, Beowulf felt the rock "hey old friend" Beowulf turned to Panther "mind helping me out? I need whatevers in here" Panther touched the rock and disintegrated it revealing a dull and rusted saber, Beowulf limped over to it and grabbed the handle, he then pulled the sword out "sorry buddy, looks like time hasn't been kind to you..." the sword crumbled to dust in his hand leaving only the handle, he sighed and put it away, Beowulf then collapsed onto his knees from his injuries, Cascade rushed over to him and covered him in healing water. The others gathered amongst eachother, Cascade was the first to speak "look, is it just me or are we way in over our heads?" Kong groaned "yeah...Pangolin was one thing but this is...something else" Arachna responded to him "look, we all knew what we were getting into when we took those Miraculous" Panther interjected "he didn't give me a Miraculous, this one's my own" Arachna looked at him "then...why are you here?" Panther glared back "this is mutual enemy shit alright?" Arachna rolled her eyes then turned to Sonar "what about you? You're the newest here, what are your thoughts?" Sonar thought about it "well, the very appearance of Beowulf is the root cause of much that has happened, but if it wasn't for him, Chrona would've had the Tome already" Panther groaned "get to the point" Sonar responded "I'm saying...have faith in him" the others looked around at one another, Beowulf's voice spoke up "kinda hard to have faith in someone you don't really know" Beowulf emeeged from the water bubble "that's why, you all need to know, who you're trusting, I've been keeping this from everyone for awhile now..." Beowulf took hold of his Miraculous and took it off, detransforming.
