The same night of the Summit, A woman stood infront of the Museum, a giant hole had been blasted through the door and the guards lie dead
The woman entered and looked at the Glass Tablet "ah, the Ormious Tome, so they finally found you, once I decipher you all of time will be at my mercy, Reverse!" time suddenly reversed itself and she stood on the steps of the Museum, the hole has disappeared and the guards were unharmed "time itself is already becoming fluid with its presence here, I must decipher it soon". Ben and Adrien sat in the shop "how are we going to solve this?" Ben asked with Adrien thinking "okay, we'll use the Horse Miraculous to travel to France, there's someone there who is an expert on time travel and the like" Ben put on the Horse Miraculous and opened a portal "wait, how am I gonna communicate with anybody? I don't speak French" Adrien put his hand on his shoulder "don't worry, I'll do all the talking".
Adrien and Ben walked through "wow, it's as pretty as they say" Adrien motioned for Ben to transform in an alley, Ben nodded and did so "Sturn, Let's Hunt!" Beowulf came out of the alley "okay, what's next?" asked with Adrien pointing at a house "we pay a visit to an old friend". Adrien and Beowulf stood infront of the door with Adrien psyching himself up "okay, okay, it's been awhile but I'm sure she isn't pissed anymore" Beowulf hadn't seen Adrien this scared before, he also noticed a bunch of people staring and talking about him. Adrien smacked his cheeks and knocked in the door while bouncing on his toes "y'know what, maybe she's busy let's just go and-" the door suddenly opened and a woman stood there, her arms were covered in vibrant tattoos and she had a leather vest on that looked a bit beat up and jean shorts, her hair was fiery red and her eyes were a piercing blue "hey Alix, long time no-" Adrien was interrupted by a swift right hook to the jaw that knocked him out and then spoke to Beowulf in English "bring him inside, I'll listen to what you have to say" Beowulf picked up Adrien and carried him inside "so...where should I put him?" Beowulf asked with Alix responding "I don't care, prop him up somewhere" Beowulf put Adrien in a recliner chair and looked around, there was grafitti on the walls and assorted equipment used for tattooing strewn across various tables "soooo...how do you know Adrien?" Beowulf asked with Alix responding "what do you two want?" Beowulf stutteted out "w-well, Adrien said that you can help us with a problem of ours" Alix looked at Beowulf studying him "you had that Miraculous long?" Beowulf responded "not really, only about six months" Alix scoffed "six months? So you're babyfaced when it comes to this Hero thing huh?" Beowulf retorted "look, I may be new to this but I can hold my own and then some" Alix moved quickly getting right in Beowulf's face, Beowulf didn't flinch "hm, you're tough, Adrien picked good" Adrien finally woke up and breathed in and adjusted his jaw "ouch, jeez Alix, you couldn't warn a guy before you punch his lights out?" Alix shot Adrien a glare and then asked again "why are you here Agreste?" Adrien sighed "you know about that Glass Tablet that was just transferred to a Museum in New York?" Alix nodded "yeah, I've been following the coverage on it, what of it?" Beowulf stepped up "we think its been messing with time, fluxes, memories from other timelines making their way into this timeline" Alix thought for a bit "alright Agreste, I'll help, on one condition" Adrien felt a sense of dread come over him "what?" He asked.
Adrien and Alix stood infront of a building that had "Boulangerie" above the entrance "please don't make me do this Alix, I said I was sorry" Alix looked at him "I'm not the one that you should have apologised to, the person who you should apologise to is in there". Adrien felt his blood pressure drop as he grabbed the door handle and opened it, the sweet smell of bread and pastries made Adrien feel at ease, Adrien walked around but suddenly bumped into someone who dropped something "oh my goodness I'm so sorry I-" Adrien stopped when he saw her. Beowulf watched them in there "so, who's shop is this?" Beowulf asked with Alix responding "someone who got a raw deal courtesy of Adrien". Adrien bent down and picked up the macaroons that had fallen, the woman held the tray and picked them up aswell "I'm sorry" Adrien said with the woman responding "It's okay, I've always been a bit of a klutz" Adrien responded "no, I am really, really sorry, it was all my fault, I made a mistake but now I'm fixing it" the woman looked at him as if he was crazy "okay? they're just macaroons, by the way you look familiar, what's your name?" Adrien thought for a bit "Felix, call me Felix" the woman giggled "Marinette" she said before sticking her hand out, Adrien smiled and shook her hand.
Adrien stepped out with two bags full of pastries and breads "so? What happened?" Alix asked with Adrien responding "she didn't even recognise me" Adrien said while hanging his head down, Alix felt bad for him, she put her hand on his cheek "probably didn't because of this scraggily ass beard" Adrien and Alix laughed before a tear rolled down Adrien's cheek. Alix turned to Beowulf "okay, I'll help you guys" Alix pulled out a pocket watch "just get us back to New York and I'll work my magic" Beowulf put on the Horse Miraculous and took them all back to New York. Beowulf's stomach began to growl "I guess it's lunchtime, let's get something to eat first" Adrien said with Beowulf responding "how about pizza?" Alix's eyes lit up "Yes! let's do that!" Beowulf led them to Ray's Pizza, Ray was busy watching a soccer game to notice Beowulf and the others entering. Beowulf hit the bell and Ray responded "yeah, yeah, what'll it be?" Beowulf ordered "hey Ray, lemme get one pie with extra pepperoni and..." Beowulf thought for a couple of seconds which annoyed Ray "c'mon spit it oh..." Ray said as he turned around to see Beowulf "y'know what, make it two pies". Beowulf and the others discussed as they ate "so, when we get there I can stabilize the rifts and encase that Tablet in its own space in time" Beowulf bit into a slice "so...why do you need us to be there?" Alix responded "well, there is gonna be some complications, during the years of the team splitting up I tried to go solo and encountered a villain who had time powers, I thought I had imprisoned her for good but I can feel her influence already, his presence is making the rifts worse" Beowulf looked confused "what rifts?" Alix pointed at the street and Beowulf noticed that it was nighttime "whoa, what?" Alix smirked "see? You gotta be observant of these things".
Alix looked around "looks like time is fluxed beyond belief here" Beowulf pointed toward the Museum "let's fix this mess before we start seeing Dinosaurs in New York" Beowulf and the others made it to the Museum where Alix transformed "Fluff, Clockwise!" Adrien transformed aswell "Boggo, Rampage!" Beowulf, Bunnix, and Steer stood infront of the Museum which was beginning to warp "okay, we'll need this to protect ourselves from the changes in time" Bunnix said while pointing at her pocket watch Steer stepped forward okay, let's get in there and-" Steer suddenly vibrated and he turned into a Cat-Themed Superhero "fix this...what?" Cat Noir looked at Beowulf and Bunnix "wow, this is a bad time rift" Cat Noir stepped on his right foot "hey, my injury's gone and...my ring?" Cat Noir took off his ring and reverted back to Adrien, he was noticeably younger and his clothes were different "I can't believe it, I'm younger again and Plagg!" Plagg floated up "Adrien, where are we? We were just in Paris and-" Adrien hugged Plagg "I missed you buddy".
Adrien transformed and Bunnix lifted up her Miraculous "Time Field!" A large white dome surrounded the crew then disappeared, the hands of the Miraculous rotated to the top and began counting "that will protect us for five minutes, let's do what we need to do". The group entered the museum to see chaos, the artifacts were decaying rapidly then constructing as if they were being made, the guards were turning to dust then into infants then to middle aged, the building kept shifting from pristine to ruins. Beowulf smelt the air "someone's here with us" Bunnix pointed at the pedestal thay had the Tablet, a woman draped in purple garbs was standing chanting to the Tablet Bunnix summoned her weapon, an umbrella and pointed it at the woman "Chrona! I should've known!" Chrona turned to look at them "Bunnix...what a pleasure it is to see you again, and you brought friends...good" Chrona shot an energy blast from her hands at Beowulf, Beowulf jumped out of the way and Bunnix rushed slashing at Chrona with her umbrella, Chrona effortlessly dodged the strikes and blasted Bunnix away "with the Tome in my hand, I have control of every part of time, past, present, future, all of them I can see and change" Beowulf whipped his chain but it was caught by Chrona, Chrona yanked the chain pulling Beowulf toward her and trapping him in a bubble. Chrona then slammed the bubble on the ceiling then sent it crashing into the ground "I can see your every move, I saw this battle three minutes before you all got here" She then turned her head to dodge a thrust attack from Bunnix then shot her with a stream of purple energy that forced her to her knees "I know that this battle has you, the boy, and a crippled old man who can only use a charge that I can predict HAHAHAHA!" Cat Noir's voice pierces through the cackle of Chrona "that's where you're wrong! I'm not an old man anymore, Cataclysm!" Cat Noir touched the ground and a corrosive wave traveled all the way to Chrona's feet, the floor gave way causing Chrona to brace herself. Beowulf and Bunnix took this chance, both of them rushed infront of Chrona and reeled back punching her straight through the Museum wall.
Bunnix shook her hand "ouch, haven't punched someone that hard in awhile" Bunnix went over to the Tablet and surrounded it with a bubble causing the fluxes to stop, the guards returned to normal and Beowulf motioned for them to get out, they agreed clearly traumatized by the experience. Bunnix began to open the portal but was blindsided by a blast from Chrona who had recovered "you think you can stop me so easily?! Well let me show you why I'm the Master of Time!" Chrona began to float in the air and blasted all three of them with purple fire but was doing no damage, Bunnix got infront of Beowulf shielding him with her umbrella "that fire would've aged you to dust" Bunnix said while holding off the flame. Chrona flew through the flame and grabbed Bunnix by the neck "an eye for an eye Bunnix" Beowulf jumped above Bunnix but Chrona trapped him in a bubble and threw him into Cat Noir.
Chrona cracked a wicked smile and pulled the Tome to her, Chrona began to chant and a portal formed behind Bunnix and Chrona walked her into the portal "goodbye Little Rabbit" suddenly Bunnix' leg kicked out of the portal launching the Tome to Beowulf, Beowulf caught it and Bunnix came out of the portal wrestling with Chrona, Bunnix then threw her Pocket Watch at Beowulf who caught it "take the Tome and run! Burrow!" Bunnix shouted with a portal appearing where the Pocket Watch was. Beowulf looked at Cat Noir who gave him a nod of approval, Beowulf took a deep breath and jumped into the portal "No!" Chrona screamed before kicking Bunnix into the portal, Chrona looked at the spot where Beowulf teleported and began to wave her hands around and began to chant, suddenly a portal opened up and she stepped through leaving Cat Noir alone in the Museum, Beowulf landed on top of a skyscraper "okay, where or when am I?" Right as Beowulf said that a flaming plane crashed into the streets below, Beowulf heard multiple gunshots from the streets below. Beowulf looked down to see soldiers battling in the streets, Beowulf wasn't used to such carnage and his heart dropped when he saw the flag that a soldier was carrying "that's the Confederate Flag" Beowulf whispered.
