At the museum, Marinette, Ayla, Molly, Kara and Rose are looking at some paintings and statues while Marinette is doing a tracing of a statue while the others look at the paintings while Alya took pictures.

"There's gotta be more," Alya spoke. "We just need to find the seals of the guardians."

"Easy for you to say," Kara sighed. "Trying to find a seal among these paintings is like trying to find a needle in a haystack." She said while looking at a painting.

Alya then took another picture when she saw something. "There! I found something!" She exclaimed.

The girls turned to the painting of a woman and on her wrist there is a ring with a Guardian seal on it as Alya zooms in on it. "The Guardian Seal." Molly said.

"So, this lady was a holder?" Marinette asked in surprise.

"Of the Rabbit, obviously." Alya added.

"Is it because she's holding a bunny?" Rose asked jokingly.

"Well, yeah." Alya said with a smile.

Marinette groaned as she turned and looked at the statue. "Miraculous holders are always pictured solo, but there had to have been some love stories between some of them." She said while looking around. "A Ladybug and Cat Noir in love. It must've happened at some point, right?" She asked.

Alya frowned, "Or maybe they just focused on the job and kept their lovey-dovey stuff out of their superhero lives. Like you should." She stated. "Preferably with a boy you've been in love with for a long time, who's finally interested in you!"

Kara elbowed Alya, who grunted in surprise before she turned her around. "Alya, did you forget that Cat Noir and Adrien are the same person? We're trying to find a safe way to get them together, not bring her hopes down!" She whispered quietly.

"Well I did until you reminded me, thanks." Alya said sheepishly before turning to Marinette, "But I suppose it couldn't hurt to see if Ladynoir is possible."

"Yeah, because from what we can tell, you and Carapace, aka Nino, are pretty tight."

Molly looked at Nan Fang who floated next to her, "Nan Fang, you and the other Zodiacs have been around since the beginning, making sure the balance was kept safe. Wasn't there a romantic relationship between holders, especially the Ladybug and Cat Noir love, for Marinette's case?" She asked.

Nan Fang thought for a moment, "There have been a few, some have turned out for the better of the two holders, others ended in tragedy, it really depends on the holders and the era they're in." She explained.

"Then which Ladybug and Cat Noir were successful in their relationship?" Marinette asked hopefully.

Nan Fang tried to remember her name. "Well, I remember that it happened in England, during the Dark Ages." She explained.

"Or more commonly known as, the Medieval Era." Molly added.

Tikki then poked her head out from Marinette's bag. "I remember that time as well, but there was no evil Monarch intent on stealing their Miraculous back then." She stated.

Xaun Wu then appeared, "Nor were the Five Zodiacs also there to restore balance." He added.

"So, things were going on between them?" Marinette asked the Kwamis with a smile.

"Oh, I don't know much about romance." Tikki said uncomfortably.

"Tikki, when you and Plagg chat with each other or hang out, it's like romance to you, like your holders." Xaun Wu said with a brow. "Well, what passes for Romance for us Kwamis in some way,"

Marinette looked at Tikki cheekily, "Looks like we're both into Bad cats, huh?" She teased.

Tikki gave an embarrassing look, if she could blush, she'd show it, if she wasn't already red. "We're talking about your romance issue, leave me out of this, Marinette." She said hotly, "Besides, even if Kwamis fall in love, me and Stinky Sock, not a chance."

"Did you just call Plagg 'Stinky Sock'?" Alya asked with a teasing smile.

"Aww, you have cute names for each other," Rose gushed, "What does he call you?"

"I'm not going to…" Tikki was cut off.

"Plagg calls her 'Sugarcube'." Nan Fang answered with a smile, which made Tikki winced, "Though we call her 'Bringer of Chocolate Rain',"

The girls and their Kwamis all laughed from that, which made Tikki shrunk down into the bag a bit embarrassed, "Aw, that's so cute." Rose gushed.

"Sugarcube, I get, but why the chocolate rain thing?" Alya asked.

"When humanity first invented chocolate and Tikki got her first taste of it, it sent her into a Feasting Frenzy and used her power of creation to make it rain chocolate." Xaun Wu said as he crossed his arms, "That was a very eight weeks."

"Trust me, I experienced that first hand on Galette day," Marinette said, looking at Tikki amusedly.

"We were fortunate Plagg used his powers to cancel it out." Daizzei added before wincing, "Of course until his own Feasting Frenzy."

Molly raised a brow, "What happened then?" She asked.

"Ever wonder what happened to Atlantis?" Nan Fang asked.

The girls all went wide-eyed while Marinette sighed, "Yeah, that's when Plagg ate too much cheese and used Cataclysm on his own to sink it." She said,

Molly looked at Nan Fang in surprise, "What would happen if you used your powers without me?" She asked.

"Using our powers without a holder can cause extremely strange side effects. My power is based on revealing truths, if I were to use them without a holder, then you would all learn things you'd rather not." Nan Fang said while rubbing her head.

"And mines are healing based, so it would just make people much more energized and could possibly bring back the dead and start a Zombie apocalypse." Xaun Wu explained.

The girls all look at the two Zodiac Kwamis while shuddering a bit. "Never use your powers without us." Kara said dully.

"Trust us, we won't and you don't even want to know what would happen if Haunglong used his powers on his own," Nan Fang said as the Kawmis all shuddered, "He's only ever done it once, and once you've seen it, it's impossible to forget."

"Your powers are already scary enough, but we'll take your word for it." Marinette said with a shudder before getting back to the subject. "Anyway, did the Ladybug and Cat Noir from the dark ages ever have their love story?" She asked the Kwamis.

"Well, that's the thing, we haven't seen them when they disappear during those times until their passing." Xuan Wu said.

"Truthly, at first, they weren't even friends. They were sworn enemies." Nan Fang added.

The group were surprised by this. "What, the two jewels of creation and destruction fighting each other?" Alya asked in shock.

Tikki gave a shameful look. "Not every Miraculous holder can be partners at first sight. We also fought each other, especially when my holder had to fight Plagg's." She said, "It's hard for both me and Plagg to convince our holders they're not enemies, sometimes it works, other times not so much."

"But the Middle ages Ladybug and Cat Noir must've worked things out right?" Marinette asked.

"I think you would have to ask the Medieval Ladybug yourself." Daizzi said.

"Can we do that?" Marinette asked as the other girls were surprised.

"Yes, Marinette, with your Kwagatama." Tikki answered with a smile.

"Oh." Marinette said in realization when Tikki spits out a Kwagatama on her birthday as she removes the Kwagatama she had around her neck and showed it to the others.

"Scoop! There's a way to talk to the Miraculous holders of the past." Alya said in excitement.

"You never mentioned that before." Molly said to the Kwamis.

"The Kwagatama is more than a simple item, it contains the essence of every holder of Miraculous inside it. With it, you are able to call forth their spirits for wisdom and guidance." Nan Fang explained.

"So it's like a backup drive of holders of the past to help the new generation?" Kara asked.

"That's one way of putting it, but yes." Tikki said. "Just touch the seal with your Kwagatama and say, 'Reunion'." She instructed.

The girls all look around for anyone, seeing no one around, they all turn to Marinette. "There's no one there. We're good to go." Alya said.

Marinette nodded before she touched the item as it glowed, but it startled her as she yelped back and hit the painting, which caused it to fall and set off the alarm.

"Dang it, Marinette!" Kara yelled as they looked down at the painting, noticing a letter at the back of it. "Hang on, what's that?" She asked.

Alya picked it up as they saw how dusty and old it was. "It looks like it was hidden here hundreds of years ago." Marinette noted as they all looked at the letter. "And it's addressed to, Alim Kubdel?" She asked as she and the others were surprised.

"Alix's father?" Rose asked in surprise.

Then Alim and some of his staff came in. "What happened here?" He asked them as the staff put the painting back into place and the alarm was shut off.

"A letter for you, Mr. Kubdel." Molly said while giving the letter to Alim.

Alim nodded with a smile and dusted the letter and opened it. "Mmm." Marinette hummed in thought as Alim read a note and a few other things in it.

Alim gasped happily. "Finally!" He exclaimed.

"Photos?" Alya asked in surprise. "But that's impossible. Photography hadn't been invented yet."

"It's news from my daughter." Alim said before turning to the girls, "Girls, gather your friends, they'll all want to hear this." He said, looking at the photos.

A little bit later, the entire Bustier class and their friends from others all gathered in the museum while Alim read the letter.

"I visited Leonardo da Vinci in his studio. He was finishing the Mona Lisa, which means I know who posed for him." Alim started while Alix's brother and the class all listened eagerly. "But don't even try. I won't say a word. I promised Leo I'd keep his secret."

They all look at the pictures of when Bunnyx took selfies of her adventure in time and meeting important people in history.

"Oh, I also met D'Artagnan and the Musketeers. They're quite extraordinary." Alim continued as Daniel and his friends looked through the pictures.

"Wow, Alix sure is having fun traveling through time." Sam commented, passing the photo to Molly.

"Even when she's protecting the Rabbit Miraculous, she still finds some way to have fun." Molly said with a chuckle, passing the photo to Jacob.

"Seeing the Three Musketeers, famous Italian renaissance artists, what's next? A photo with a T-Rex?" Jacob joked about passing the photos to Kara.

"I think that might happen soon." Kara joked with a smile. "Alix is a time traveler now." She added while passing the photos to Daniel.

"I'm just glad she's leaving each time period how she found it and she kept hidden messages from the past for her father to find in the present, that's clever." Daniel said as he passed the photo to Chloe. Their fingers touched for a moment as they gasped silently before Daniel gave a quick smile and Chloe took the photos while looking bashful.

Chloe then passes the photos to Adrien, who was surprised by Chloe's offer before he gave a smile and looked at the pictures before he passed it to Marinette, who flinched in response as she looked at Adrien who gave her a smile.

"And you know what else? Turns out, Armais is actually a woman." Alim continued while Marinette quickly passed the photo to Alya, which the two looked at her in surprise.

And then Alix's brother, Jalil Kubdel, was silent for a moment before he spoke up with a slight irritated look."How could you let her go?" He questioned his father in slight anger.

"Jalil, enough already." Alim said to his son calmly.

Jaili still pushes on. "Alix was brainwashed by Ladybug. She forced her on a crusade without us. And all you're doing is nothing." He exclaimed.

"Your sister wasn't forced." Alim said, trying to reason with his son. "She went into hiding in time so that Monarch couldn't take over the Miraculous of the Rabbit."

"Alix is helping Ladybug, Cat Noir, the Zodiacs and their team restore peace." Marinette spoke up.

"How can she help them if she's not even here?" Jalil questioned. "Can't you see this makes zero sense? Wake up dad!"

"I was there when Ladybug gave her the Miraculous." Alim said as he turned to his son. "Alix agreed to the whole thing. She was proud she could help. Where are you hearing this ridiculous theory?" He questioned.

"Everybody's talking! Listen." Jalil said, bringing up his Alliance ring, going to the social media app where a bunch of Miraculous haters were saying all kinds of things against the heroes.

"Akuma88 said, 'We trusted Ladybug too blindly, and she only made things worse when she let Monarch steal the Miraculous'. Antilady ask, 'Who is Ladybug anyway? Why does she wear a mask? If she has nothing to hide, she wouldn't hide anything. Talkmoth says 'If these Zodiac heroes are so special then where were they when Hawkmoth first appeared?' Chloe B said 'Ladybug tried her best, cut her some slack and she already got five of the Miraculous back. She and her team are one step closer.'" The A.I. Lila said.

The others were surprised by this while Daniel gave a nudge to Chloe with a smile as she smiled back before Alim spoke to his son.

"Since your sister's been gone, you've been spending too much time on social media, Jalil." Alim said. "Their influence on your judgment is disturbing."

"Yeah, well, at least I'm trying to do something to get Alix back!" Jalil retorted as he walked out of the room with a huff while the others were unsettled by his attitude.

Alim then turned to the children. "Jalil is having a hard time accepting his sister's absence. I'll go talk to him. Enjoy the museum as much as you like kids." He said as he walked out.

The others were still reeling from what the social media said about Ladybug and the other heroes too, "Do you think they're right?" Sam asked while the others turned to him. "That, if the Zodiac team just showed up when Monarch was still Hawkmoth, none of this would've happened?" He asked.

"Hey, forget those Zodiac already inspired more people to give them hope." Daniel spoke up. "Those badmouthers don't know what they're talking about. I mean, how many times has Ladybug saved the day before Monarch, and just when she messes up once people think we should turn on her?"

"Yeah, I agree." Chloe said, which the others turned to her in surprise by what she said. "You all heard my comment, at least she tried. The best we can do is give her, Cat Noir and the others support to get the rest of the Miraculous back."

The others looked at Chloe like she grew a second head, "Okay, who are you and what did you do with the real Chloe Bourgeois?" Nino asked in a surprise look.

"Did you get akumatized or something, Chloe?" Marc asked with a brow.

"Rest assure you, I'm the real me. Just saying some supportive words." Chloe assured with a smile they had never seen her have before.

The others all look at her strangely while also muttering to themselves if she's telling the truth or not as Adrien turned to Marinette with a blush. "Um, hey, Marinette. Since I don't have to be home right away, how would you like to go somewhere? Like the movies for example." He suggested.

Marinette looked nervous as the others turned her encouragingly before she got up. "Whoa! No way!" She exclaimed before she recollected herself. "I mean- I mean, uh, we can't really." She said as she turned to Alya and pulled her to her, who was surprised by this. "We have to get back home. We have history homework." Right, Ayla?" She asked, while also reminding her of their plan.

"Oh, yeah. You're right." Alya said with a nervous smile.

"What do you mean? We don't have history homework." Nino pointed out in confusion as Marinette pushed Alya out of the room.

"Um, we like to give each other extra history assignments." Marinette quickly said as they all walked out of the room while the group looked at each other in confusion before the Zodiac holders and Rose gave sigh expressions.

"Marinette's really a bad liar. I'll say that." Daniel muttered while shaking her head while turning to Molly, Kara and Rose. "What was it that we missed?"

"Let's go somewhere else to explain it." Molly said to them as they stood up and walked off as Adrien saw them go.

"Hey, guys, where are you going?" Adrien asked them.

"We're just gonna look around the museum. Mr. Kubdel did say that we can look around as we please." Jacob answered.

"We'll catch you guys later. And it was nice to hear from Alix." Daniel said as they all exited the room.

"So, we can actually talk about the previous holders of our Miraculous from the past?" Daniel asked after the girls finished telling the boys what their Kawmis said.

"That's what our Kwamis said. Which is actually an awesome power." Kara said with a smile.

"Do you have any holders we could talk to?" Sam asked their Kwamis eagerly.

"Sorry, Sam. We're those kinds of Kwamis who hardly have any holders." Baihu said to her owner. "We were out of the mortal world for generations."

"Drats." Sam slugged his shoulders in disappointment.

"Though, we did each have one holder before you all, they were our last holders before we were summoned to you five." Nan Fang said with a fond smile. "Ah, they were the best of them all."

"Really?" Molly asked her Kwami in surprise. "Wow, heroes before us? I thought we were the only ones who got your powers."

"Trust us, we've only come into the mortal world once before, many generations ago." Huanglong said to them. "They were the first holders we've chosen to win a great battle for universal balance."

"Ultimate battle?" Daniel asked in surprise. "There was another time where the Zodiacs had to intervene?"

"Why? Who were you fighting?" Molly asked.

The five Zodiac Kwamis all gave grim expressions as they all looked down. "It, it was…let's just say it was an evil force that would make even Monarch look weak in comparison and so powerful that even with the five of us and all of the mother Miracle Box Miraculouses, we nearly lost." Huanglong said with his head down.

The others all looked at their Kwamis in shock and horror as they learned there was something out there even more dangerous than Monarch.

"Wow. You guys really had it rough." Sam commented.

"We're so sorry that happened to you all." Kara said as she came up to Xuan Wu and gave him a nuzzle to the cheeks. "It must've been a nightmare to fight someone like that."

"More than you can say." Xuan Wu sighs.

"But you did beat this evil, right?" Daniel asked with a concerned look.

Huanglong sighs. "Not without a cost. The battle was so great, the heroes had to give up their lives to restore the balance. And after the battle, we Zodiacs chose to cut ourselves off from the rest of the world, promising only to return only when the Earth needs us most."

The others all looked at their Kwamis in sympathy while Daniel spoke up. "Look, I get that you Kwamis have been scarred from the past, but there are times when it's okay to ask for help. Cutting off from the world is like trying to keep yourselves isolated from your pain." He spoke.

"If you all need some help moving past the fear, it's okay to ask for help when needed." Molly spoke next.

"We are Kwamis. We are not like you humans." Qinlong said.

"But you are all still alive." Sam said to them. "I mean, you can talk, eat and sleep. And you all have emotions. That's life."

"He's right. You may be mythical creatures, but you are all like us. Living beings." Jacob said in agreement.

"We just hope that after all this time cutting yourselves off from the world, you five haven't forgotten about living life to the fullest, learning from mistakes and moving past them." Daniel said.

The five Zodiac Kwamis looked at their owners in thought, feeling touched by their words before the entire Museum then glowed in orange before they saw some walls of books around.

"What the heck!?" Molly cried out in shock.

"What's happening this time?" Sam called out.

Daniel looked at the shelves as he inspected them. "These are ancient books! Hey, let us out!" He exclaimed as he hit the wall.

And then a book with an egyptian lady on it floated out and in front of the group. "Question: Who painted the Mona Lisa?" It asked in a female voice before the book started flipping pages to reveal an hourglass.

Daniel looked to his friends as they shrugged, "Leonardo Da Vinci." He answered.

"The truth always prevails." The book said as it went back into the shelf as the wall disappeared.

"Wow, that was strange." Kara commented.

"But if something this strange happened, then there's a Megakuma on the move. We gotta transform and help others!" Daniel said seriously. "Haunglong, Heavens Ascend!"

"Baihu, Earth Rises!"

"Quinlong, Wind Rages!"

"Xuan Wu, Water Flow!"

"Nán Fāng, Fire it Up!"

The Zodiac Holders all transformed into their superhero forms as they all rushed out of the room to find where the Akumatized Villain was hiding.

They all ran through the museum as they all saw the orange glow was everywhere. "What is this? It's like we're in ancient Egypt." Terrapin asked as they ran.

Phoenix stopped as she looked out through one of the windows. "Uh, maybe it's because we're inside a giant pyramid." She said slowly as they all looked out and saw that the entire museum and most of the city is inside the pyramid.

Dragold then realized, "Pharaoh!" He gasped.

"Yeah, This has his style all over it, literally." Caspian commented.

Dragold then ran to another doorway, "We gotta find the others!" He said before he was blocked by another book wall, "Oh come on!"

A book like the one from before then popped out, "Question: What was the name of Hades' Guard Dog of the Underworld?" The book asked them.

The Zodiac Team all look at each other as they try to think of the question. "What was the name of, wait a minute, his Guard Dog was a three headed one, right?" Hydrake asked his friends.

"Well, yeah. Granted it was still freaky, but yeah." Terrapin said with a shudder a bit.

"I know who it is. Cerberus, The three headed Guard Dog of the Gates to the Underworld!" Hydrake answered the book.

"The truth always prevails." The book said as it and the wall disappeared and allowed them access.

"You gotta admit, Pharaoh really loves ancient history." Caspian commented.

"Yeah, but I don't wanna find out what happens when we get the wrong answer or don't answer in time." Phoenix said.

"No time to chit chat! We gotta find the others and get that Megakuma." Dragold remembered as they all ran through the halls again.

They ran before they saw Ladybug and Cat Noir in front of another gate with a book flipping around.

"Ladybug, Cat Noir, you're still here!" Dragold exclaimed in relief.

"Are we glad to see you guys?" Cat Noir said in relief. "But where are Rooster Bold and the others?"

"There are many gates around the museum and we're underneath a pyramid. Maybe they can't figure out a question and get stuck." Phoenix theorizes.

"Well, that is true." Ladybug said as she then turned to nothing. "Oh, these are our teammates, the Zodiac Team. This is Central Dragold, Eastern Hydrake, Western Caspian, Northern Terrapin, and Southern Phoenix." She added.

The others looked at her strangely, "Yeah, they probably weren't around in your time. They're special heroes that haven't shown up since the last time the world was imbalanced." She continued.

"Uh, who are you talking to, Ladybug?" Dragold asked strangely.

"I'm talking to Joan." Ladybug answered while the others raised a brow before Phoenix and Terrapin remembered something.

"Wait, you use the Kwagatama?" Phoenix asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Ladybug answered as she used it. "With it, I was about to get in touch with the Memory of one of the Ladybug holders before me. You all can't see her, but she's there." She explained while the Zodiacs and Cat Noir are surprised.

"So, the only reason we can't see her is because she's literally a ghost?" Caspian asked slowly.

"Well, yeah." Ladybug nodded before turning to the air again. "Hey, they can't see you, so give them a break." She said, clearly talking to Joan.

"Wow, I didn't know that was possible." Cat Noir said with a smile.

"And thanks to Joan, I was able to answer that first question." Ladybug added.

"That's M'Lady! Using that 'hakuna matata' to make you virtually unbeatable in history Such a brilliant idea." Cat Noir complimented.

Ladybug gave a nervous chuckle from that. "Yes, that's it! That's exactly what it was!" She gave a nervous laugh before she turned to the air. "Shh."

"Okay, this is getting annoying." Phoenix said as she then brought out her hands. "Revelation!" She exclaimed, blasting a wave of fire around them.

Then suddenly, a ghost figure appeared, which appeared to be a woman in knight armor with Ladybug color on her with scars around her face. "What was that?" The woman questioned while looking at Ladybug.

"That was Phoenix's powers of Revelation. Reveal something that is not there or deceiving." Ladybug answered.

The five Zodiacs and Cat Noir all look in shock at what they are seeing, with Cat Noir's jaw literally dropped before Caspian closes it shut.

"I take it you're the Ladybug of the Dark Ages?" Dragold asked.

Joan and Ladybug were surprised by that. "Wait, you warriors can see me?" Joan asked in shock.

"You can see her?" Ladybug asked in shock as well.

"Yeah, you are a scarred woman knight with a sword and polka dots knight armor. Does that answer your question?" Dragold asked, which made the two Ladybugs go wide-eyed.

Joan was shocked before she faced him. "How can you see me? Only the Miraculous holder of the Ladybug could see me." She stated.

"I use my powers to show your spirit to us. Since only Ladybug can see you, I thought I would use my powers so we can all talk." Phoenix explained.

Joan placed a hand on her chin for a bit. "I am impressed. You certainly are the wiser part of the group." She complimented. "Makes we wish our time had brave knights like you."

The Zodiac team all smiled at her compliment while Ladybug groaned and crossed her arms. "You didn't say that to me." She muttered to herself.

"So you're the Ladybug from the Dark Ages, awesome!" Cat Noir exclaimed while looking at Joan. "And wow, really great warrior material." He complimented.

"Yes. And I am surprised that the young bug has such a small and scraggly cat like you to aid her," Joan said to Cat Noir.

"Hey! I may be small and scraggy, but I do help when it counts." Cat Noir said in defense.

"I told you that he's sensitive and devoted." Ladybug reminded her with a look.

"Uh, I hate to break up this moment, we are on a time limit here?" Dragold reminded them while gesturing to the book that is counting down. "What was the question?" he asked.

"Can you repeat the question?" Cat Noir said as the book reset.

"What will the weather be like in Paris on July 14, 200 years from now?" The book asked before it restarted the countdown.

"What?! How is anyone supposed to answer that?!" Phoenix exclaimed.

"That's not a history question, it's a science fiction question!" Ladybug exclaimed as well.

"For a question like that, only Bunnyx could answer it!" Terrapin cried out.

"But she can't return to the present. It's too dangerous. And we have very little time." Ladybug pointed out before she brought out her yo-yo. "Lucky charm!" She exclaimed as a pen was created.

"A pen?" Caspian questioned.

"And what shall you be doing with that puny little sword?" Joan questioned.

"Okay, for a former holder of the Ladybug Miraculous, you sure know how to insult people." Caspian commented with a dull look. "Didn't you use the Lucky Charm like this in your time?" He questioned.

"I suppose we don't. Usually, our powers help turn the tide of war and protect those that are hurt." Joan said.

"Forget that, Ladybug, what should we do?" Dragold asked Ladybug.

Ladybug looks around before she notices the pamphlets, the cat statues, the pen, and then she remembers the painting Alix left the letter for her father as she has an idea. "We're going to send a letter. And fast." She said as she started writing a letter on the pamphlet and ran off.

"Where is she going?" Joan questioned.

"If I had to guess, Ladybug is sending a letter to the future." Phoenix said with a smile.

Ladybug then returned, went up to one of the cat statues and pulled the Pamphlet, "Where did that come from?" Joan asked in shock.

Terrapin turned to Ladybug with a smirk. "Let me guess, you wrote a note to Alix that she will find someday in the future, for her to know when the weather is gonna be like in 200 years for us to answer it without her coming here physically." She said,

"Yep. Since she's a time traveler, she always knows the right time." Ladybug answered before looking at the pamphlet and saw a drawing of a thunderstorm on it as she turned to the book. "There will be a thunderstorm." She answered.

"The truth always prevails," The book said as it and the wall disappeared, revealing Pharaoh and the book floating in a shield of the power of Shell-ter.

"No, you just got lucky!" Pharaoh growled.

"No, it was all about teamwork." Ladybug said with a smirk.

"And we're about to make you history!" Dragold exclaimed as they all drew their weapons and charged at Pharaoh.

Joan smiled as she drew her sword. "Charge!" She exclaimed, but when she tried to strike Pharaoh, she just went through him as she fell on her stomach. "I keep forgetting." She muttered in embarrassment, having forgotten that she's just a spirit.

"Are all Ladybugs this clumsy?" Cat Noir asked in amusement as Ladybug blushed.

Dragold facepalmed, "Maybe leave this to the current heroes." He told Joan as they charged at Pharaoh.

"See, Dad? Ladybug found a ruse so she wouldn't have to bring Alix back physically." Pharaoh said as he blocked each strike the heroes and pushed them back. "I was right. She and her team are nothing but power-hungry manipulators. They're the villains, not the Monarch!"

"You've really gotta learn to listen to real world people and not stuff you read, dude!" Caspian called out and struck with his sais before Pharaoh blocked each other and he flipped away when Pharaoh was about to smash him.

Dragold then looked at the book behind Pharaoh. "Guys, the book! That must be where Megakuma is hiding." He told his team.

"Got it! Cataclysm!" Cat Noir called out as he brought out his powers and was about to strike the book.

"Dat, give me time!" Pharaoh exclaimed as he then shot out a time bubble on Cat Noir, slowing him down.

"Cat Noir!" The heroes exclaimed.

Cat Noir Cataclysm eventually hit his time bubble, which freed him, but he used up his power. "Oh boy." He muttered as Ladybug threw her yo-yo before Pharaoh surrounded the book in a time bubble, stopping her from getting it.

"No!" Ladybug exclaimed.

Cat Noir was then grabbed by the arms as Pharaoh lifted him up and faced the other heroes.

"Come on, heroes. Give me your Miraculous and admit that you're all the villains. Unless you want me to find out the truth of Cat Noir's identity!" Pharaoh threatened as he reached for Cat Noir's ring.

"What are you waiting for? Charge!" Joan called out.

"Hey, we're thinking!" Dragold called out. "Incase you haven't noticed, we can't always charge in without a plan!" The team huddled in close as they discussed. "Guys, what are we gonna do? This villain doesn't even have a Miraculous power on him this time. So we can't weaken him." He muttered.

"Let me think of something." Ladybug closed her eyes for a bit before she realized something and then paced Pharaoh. "Pharaoh, you put all those people in danger to find out if me and my team are the villains, if your book really knows everything, why don't you ask it and find out for sure?" She questioned.

"She's right." Phoenix spoke up. "And I never lie to a single soul. And if you can't take our word for it, ask for the book!" She exclaimed.

Pharaoh stopped when they suggested that to him. "Huh? Well, I could do that." He said as he tossed Cat Noir away.

"Cat Noir!" Ladybug exclaimed in concern before Cat Noir gave a thumbs up and a smile in assuring he's fine.

"Come on, Pharaoh. That book knows everything, so it wouldn't lie to its own master, would it?" Dragold encouraged.

Pharaoh thought for a moment before he spoke. "I have to know." He said as he removed the time bubble from the book as the yo-yo fell. "Book of truth, are the Miraculous Team really the heroes they claim to be?" He questioned. "Did Alix really leave of her own free will to help them?"

The book then flipp as it showed check marks. "True." It said,

Pharaoh then felt anger in him. "Monarch, you lied to me! Take back your blasted powers!" He exclaimed as he fought the akumatization and the symbol on his eyes broke as he freed himself from Monarch's grip, which caused the book to fall.

Pharaoh fell to his knees as he and the book turned back into Jalil and a folder as the Megakuma flew out of the folder.

"No more evil for little Akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug declared, spinning her yo-yo as she caught the Akuma in her yo-yo. "Gotcha. Bye-bye little butterfly." She said as the butterfly flew away. "Miraculous Ladybug!" She exclaimed, tossing the pen in the air as it restored everything to normal.

Then charging into the room were Rooster Bold, Minotaurox, Pigella and Caprikid, "Sorry we couldn't help guys," Caprikid told the other heroes, "Those bookshelves riddles are tricky."

"Tell me about it." Ladybug said in agreement.

"That's okay. At least it's all over now." Caspian said with a smile.

"Did you get another Miraculous?" Pigella asked hopefully.

"Sorry, no Miraculous this time." Dragold sighed. "Monarch didn't give Pharaoh one."

"Drat." Rooster Bold mutters. "At least the bad guy is finished."

"Actually, he finished himself." Cat Noir said as he and Ladybug helped Jalil up.

"I'm sorry I doubted you all." Jalil apologized in guilt as he took his folder back and held it. "It wasn't Alix who got duped. It was me." He said as he looked at his Alliance ring. "But all that social media, and Monarch. " He sighed.

"But you rejected the Akuma. That means you care more about Alix than being right." Phoenix said with an assuring smile. "And she would be proud of you."

"How do you know that?" Jalil asked.

Ladybug then brought out the pamphlet. "She left us a little message for you." She said to him,

Jalil accepted it as he looked at the message, noticing his sister's handwriting. "Come on, get your head up and raise your fist, bro." He read, which made him confused as he saw the heroes raising their fists at him with a smile.

Jalil smiled at them as he raised his fist as well. "Pound it!" They all exclaimed.

Joan saw this as she smiled at the heroes, now having thoughts on the heroes, especially Ladybug, the current holder of the Ladybug Miraculous.

A little bit later, Kara, Rose, Molly and Alya all look around as Marinette was finishing her conversation with Joan, since Molly turned back, her powers were canceled out so they couldn't see her, before she then tripped through the ground, as she gave a smile as they turned to her.

"End of Reunion." Marinette as her friends ran up to her.

"Everything okay, Marinette?" Alya asked as they helped her up.

"Did you try to hug Joan but forgot that she was just a ghost?" Kara asked with a smirk.

"Yes. And apparently, a love story between the holders of the Ladybug and Cat Noir Miraculous is possible. But does that mean I have to give up on my Miraculous?" Marinette asked them in concern as they all gasped in worry.

"That's-that's crazy." Kara said in shock. "There's no way that's possible, right? What did Joan tell you how she got together with her love?"

Marinette sighed. "I'm afraid she doesn't have her memory of the time she spent with the holder of the Black Cat of her time."

"What are you talking about?" Molly asked with a brow.

"That was the real Joan." Tikki spoke. "It was just her memory of her as a holder. She couldn't know what she did after she gave up her Miraculous." She explained.

"Wait, so the thing you used to bring in Joan only had memories of her when she had the Miraculous?" Rose asked in wonder.

"That would've been nice to know beforehand, Tikki." Kara said while rubbing her head.

Molly then looked at Marinette, "But that was how Joan and her Cat Noir got their happy ending, it doesn't mean that's how you and Cat Noir will get yours," She encouraged.

"Yeah, fate isn't written. There's always a way. And we'll make sure you get your happy ending, Marinette." Alya said with a smile.

"And we'll be there to help you every step of the way." Kara said with a smile. "Just don't give up. There is always a way to find your true love story without losing your Miraculous."

Marinette gave a small smile at her friends as they all hugged, feeling their support and feeling hope that she could still have her happy ending with Cat Noir.
