It was a day like any other in Paris. Kids were playing, people were enjoying themselves, and much more. They all acted like they had all the time in the world. Erza and Lucy certainly thought so as they hung out in the park with Wendy and Romeo close by as they were playing soccer together.

"What a beautiful day, wouldn't you say?" Lucy said.

"You can certainly say that again." Erza said.

"Heads up!" They both looked and saw the soccer ball coming at them, but was Erza was able to catch it. "Sorry about that." Romeo said as he went over to it.

"It's fine." Erza said as she handed back the ball. Romeo was enjoying himself until he noticed the time.

"Oh man! Is it really that late?!" Romeo said. "I told my old man that I would get my homework done and I've got a lot to do!"

"You need to manage your time better." Lucy said.

"You're one to talk." Erza joked. Suddenly, they saw a bunch of cats running through the park. It was weird seeing so many.

"Come, my little kitties! Let's turn Paris into a wonderland for cats!" They all saw Millianna has become Kitty Cat with Lucy getting annoyed, like this has happened again and again.

"I got to go. I just remembered that I have some work I need to get done and I'm running out of time myself." Lucy said as she just took off.

"She's certainly one that needs to manage her time better." Erza said.

...

The Louvre Museum

"People of Paris, you deny my fully wuffy kitties entrance into this museum when cats have been around for many years." Kitty Cat claimed as she had a bunch of cats ready to take the museum apart. "Even cats go down in history, especially Egypt. It's time they get the recognition they deserve!" Salamondra and Celestria arrived on the scene, but they don't seem all that interested in what's going on.

"How many times has this happened so far?" Salamondra questioned.

"Twenty-nine times." Celestria said with annoyance, only because they're tired of the numerous times they fought her. "We might as well just get this over with."

"Right behind you." Salamondra said. Both of them moved in and attacked. They still had to use their powers, but they were able to defeat this villain so easily. It took almost no time for them to beat Kitty Cat and she became Millianna again.

"Are you okay, Millianna?" Celestria asked as they helped her up.

"Oh no. I became Kitty Cat again, haven't I?" Millianna asked as she felt bad. "I'm really sorry, but nothing ticks me off more than seeing adorable kittens mistreated."

"It's fine, Millianna. You just have a great love for animals." Celestria said.

"Still, let me make it up to you. How about some ice cream?" Millianna asked. Both of them took a look at their miraculous and saw they had some time to spare.

"Why not? We got a few minutes." Salamondra said. They defeated this villain so easily that they took the treat. Sometimes time moves fast, slow, and there are times they have all the time in the world.

...

Black Wizard

"Again?! Why do I even bother?!" Black Wizard complained. "Still, you keep trying and you're about to get something right. Darkness..." He was about to call it a day, but he suddenly sensed something that seemed quite off. "What is this? What is this negative energy I'm sensing?"

...

The Museum

Salamondra and Celestria took up on Millianna's offer. All three of them enjoyed a nice icy treat with what little time the two heroes had left.

"I'm really sorry again for the trouble I caused." Millianna said.

"Cats aren't exactly bad creatures. There are just some dog lovers out there." Salamondra said.

"I think the problem is a little more complicated than that." Celestria said. "You just need to find a more efficient way to help your cats that don't involve people being bothered by them. Anyway, thank you for the ice cream, but we should really get going." Millianna was about to let them go and they were about to leave. Suddenly a portal opened up right in front of them. Someone walked through and there was something strange about this guy. The man who walked through was dressed in all black with him wearing a hoodie, but they could see he had blue skin with white hair. He also had a clock right in the center of his chest with his sleeves and edge of pants designed to look like tamers. In his hands, he looked something like a spray gun.

"Celestria and Salamondra... You're time is about to be up."

"Who are you?" Celestria questioned.

"The name is Chronope, a force from the future, and I'm here for you." The man claimed. A villain from the future? How can that be?

...

Black Wizard

"What is this?" Black Wizard questioned as he was just as baffled from this. "I can sense he carries an etherious, but where did he come from?"

"You don't need to worry about that, Black Wizard. As I said, I'm from the future." Chronope claimed. He can communicate with him just like any of Black Wizard's previous villains could. "I have the ability to move through time. I was sent here to defeat Celestria and Salamondra before they master their miraculous. I'm on your side."

"I see." Black Wizard said as he was pleased to hear this. "How brilliant of me to send my past self some help."

...

The Museum

"Let's make this easy. You have no chance of defeating me." Chronope claimed as he aimed his weapon right at them. "Surrender your miraculous now and let's get this over with."

"If you're from the future, you should know that we will never do that." Celestria said as she and Salamondra were ready to fight this strange new villain.

"Fine with me. Truth is that I have all the time in the world, but you and everyone else don't." Chronope said as he fired a shot. Both of them moved out of the way, but Millianna got hit and she just disappeared. Right when she disappeared, a bronze statue of her and cats appeared out of nowhere.

"The Statue of Millianna. A reminder of the national animal: The Parisian Cats. What?" Salamondra questioned.

"He really does have the ability to move through time, and can send through time as well!" Celestria said as she could see the dangers a power like this possesses.

"That's right." Chronope said as he fired a few spots with them being marked. Suddenly, he teleported from one spot and was at another the next second. "With my abilities, you'll never be able to catch me. If there's something in the past or present I don't like, I can just change it like I'm saying "Nope". That's why they call me Chronope." Time is certainly not on their side. Not just because this villain has the ability to move through time, but also because they were running out of it. They were both going to change back at any moment.

"Salamondra, we don't have much time before we change back." Celestria said.

"No worries. We'll make this quick." Salamondra said as he extended his staff and was ready for a fight. He went straight at Chronope and tried to attack him, but Chronope disappeared and reappeared right behind him with him kicking Salamondra in the back.

"I told you that you won't be able to catch me." Chronope said as he marked more areas of the ground. Celestria stepped in and tried using her whip to tie him up, but he disappeared again and reappeared in a different spot. "You can't catch me, you can't defeat me, so you might as well just give me your miraculous." Surrendering is something they will never do, but they were almost out of time on their miraculous.

"Salamondra, we have to pull back. We're about to transform any minute." Celestria warned.

"Time never seems to be on our side." Salamondra complained. The two of them turned around and ran off into the museum. Chronope didn't even try to stop them.

"Go ahead and run. I have all the time in the world while you don't." Chronope taunted.

...

Inside

Celestria and Salamondra ran inside to find a safe place for them to transform. The only place they can both think of is the bathroom. They both duck inside one just as they both changed back to Natsu and Lucy.

"Here, Stella." Lucy said as she handed Stella a cookie. "This isn't going to be easy. If we couldn't beat Chronope in the future, how are we suppose to beat him before we master our miraculous?"

"He might be tricky, but he's not unbeatable. You just need to use your head." Stella assured, but Lucy wasn't as confident. Natsu was thinking the opposite as he gave Igneel a piece of meat to recharge him.

"This one isn't going to be easy to beat. How do we beat someone that can move through time?" Natsu questioned.

"Sounds like a problem for the future. Get it?" Igneel joked.

"Funny, but I'm sure we'll figure something out. Celestria is sure to come up with something." Natsu said with him fully believing that. "Igneel, Fire Up!"

"Stella, Twinkle!" Once their kwamis were fully recharged, they transformed again and were getting ready to head back into the fight. Just as the two ran out of the bathrooms, they surprisingly ran into Cana.

"Wow! It's true!" Cana said. "The message told me I would find you two here, but I thought this was someone's idea of a joke."

"Cana? What are you doing here? What message?" Celestria questioned.

"This one." Cana said as she pulled out her phone. "I got this weird call and it told me to come here." She played the message for them to hear.

"Cana, Celestria and Salamondra are going to need your help. Come to the Louvre Museum. I promise you that this isn't a joke because I know you would kick someone's butt if it was." That was rather strange.

"Uh... Did you sent that message?" Salamondra questioned.

"No. It sounds like whoever sent it somehow knew what was going to happen here." Celestria said. "Who could have sent it, and how do they know we need Cana's help?"

"That would be me." That was right when another portal opened up, but this one was pure white with a light emerging out of it. They all looked to see someone else coming out. It was a woman with long brown hair, part of it tied into a bun. She wore sky blue hero outfit with white boots and gloves, and wore a blue mask that looked similar to a rabbit's head. She also had a large white V over her chest that looked like bunny ears. She even had a fluffy white tail, bunny ears, and sickle.

"Who are you?" Salamondra questioned.

"A force from the future. Oh wait. That probably sounded lamb." The mysterious woman said. Celestria and Salamondra were on guard with her. "No. I'm a friend. I do come from the future, but I'm here to help. My name is Time Hopper."

"Hold on. That sounds like the same voice that sent me the message." Cana said.

"That's because I am." Time Hopper claimed. None of them were really sure what to think of this. "I can see Chronope probably has you all baffled and such, but I can prove I'm on your side. Look at this." She reached to her side and into a pocket. In there, she pulled out a pocket watch that was the same color scheme as her. "Watch closely. You can trust me because I'm someone you all know. Rewind." Saying "Rewind" was a command that caused her to change back into a normal person. The watch she was holding was actually a miraculous with a the rabbit kwami coming out. The person Time Hopper really was is none other than...Cana. She looks just like Cana, but she's older.

"You're... You're me!" Cana said as they were all surprised to see an older version of Cana.

"Who else would I be?" Older Cana claimed. "Hopps here needed to recharge anyway." She said as she pulled out a small bit of carrot and fed her kwami.

"Yummy snack...or lunch, dinner, or breakfast." Hopps said.

"I don't understand. What is going on around here?" Celestria said. "How can you be Cana with a miraculous? I never gave you, or should I say her, a miraculous."

"You will...in the future." Older Cana claimed.

"I'm going to get my own miraculous? Awesome!" Cana said as she can't wait for the time.

"As for how and why I'm here, that's all because of the rabbit miraculous. The rabbit miraculous has the ability to travel through time." Older Cana said. "However, Chronope is from the future as well. He was sent here to take your miraculous when you two are much weaker, making it easier to take. That is why I'm here."

"A hero from the future? How cool are our lives?" Salamondra said as he liked where this was going.

"Normally, we would have to avoid tampering with timeline because it could have drastic effects. Even changing a small thing could have serious repercussions. Calling on my help is sort of last resort, but the only way to catch a time traveler is with time travel." Older Cana said. "That's why the Celestria from my time sent me here."

"But if my older self, who has mastered her miraculous couldn't beat him, how can we do it now?" Celestria said.

"You can just leave that part to me." Older Cana said as she got her miraculous ready to go. "Hopps, Forward!" She gave off the command and became Time Hopper again.

"This is going to be so cool." Cana said.

"I know time traveling can be a real headache, but you don't have to worry too much." Time Hopper said. "All we have to do is get a hold of his spray gun, free the etherious for you to capture, and you fix things just like you always do."

"But what about Cana here?" Salamondra said as he asked about her. "How does your younger self fit into this?"

"Well, my memory is a little fuzzy with all the time traveling I do, but I do remember meeting my older self when I was her age." Time Hopper said as she remembered seeing her older self leaving with Cana waving farewell, holding a pen. "I'm not sure how all this plays out, but we've got to try and keep the timeline going regularly."

"I guess we'll have to leave it all to you." Celestria said as she was a little baffled and confused by the whole time traveling thing. "I probably wouldn't be much help. If I have to resort to this, unable to stop Chronope in the future, I must not have what it takes."

"Hey. Don't be so hard on yourself." Time Hopper assured. "You're a great hero, and you lead a great team. There have been many villains you've faced, and you managed to beat them all. You just need to believe in yourself more." That sounded reassuring, but it's easier said than done.

"I've got to ask." Salamondra said as there was something he needed to know. "In the future, are Celestria and I...?" He asked with him forming a heart out of his hands.

"Salamondra!" Celestria complained.

"Sorry." Time Hopper claimed, even waving his finger. "I can't reveal everything about the future."

"I didn't hear a no." Salamondra said with joy.

"And I didn't hear a yes." Celestria said with annoyance.

"Anyway, we can't waste time with future revealing. Especially when that is going on." Time Hopper said as she pointed to the historical pieces of the museum. All of them were changing.

"Erik Cobra? Mayor Allard? Sherry?" Celestria said as those faces were taking place in history. "Chronope sent all of them back in time and is changing the course of history!"

That's why we better get moving." Time Hopper said as she ran off and the others followed after them. All of them hurried outside and soon saw there were Chronope's markings all over the place. "We took up too much time. He set up a web around us. He can now appeared anywhere at any time."

"You got that right." Chronope said as he appeared in front of them. "Wherever these marks are, I can appear there in a second or less."

"You want to play cat and mouse? Fine with me as long as I get to be the cat." Salamondra said as he was ready to jump back in, but Time Hopper stopped him from doing anything.

"Just leave him to me." Time Hopper said. "I'm the only one here who can match his abilities. First..." Time Hopper grabbed a hold of Cana and jumped across the field and placed her on the ground. "You stand right there. This looks about right from what I can remember."

"What's with the bunny? Are going to hunt for eggs?" Chronope mocked.

"Yeah, if we're counting eggheads like you." Time Hopper said as she pulled out her sickle and went on the attack, but Chronope was ready for her. He aimed right at her, but she moved a little faster. "Burrow!" She had energy flow through her sickle and released it with a portal opening up right in front of her and she dived right into the light and disappeared.

"Hey! Where'd she go?!" Chronope questioned. That was when another light appeared behind him and kicked him right in the back.

"Right here!" Time Hopper said as she emerged. She went for his spray gun and tried to break it, but he moved it out of the way just in time. Chronope aimed right at her again, but she opened another portal and disappeared. She reappeared above him and tackled him down.

"She can use her powers multiple times?" Salamondra questioned.

"She must have learned to fully master her miraculous." Celestria believed.

"Seriously? If we can do that ourselves, I'm actually excited to grow older." Salamondra said as he found an upside to growing up. Time Hopper and Chronope kept trying to attack each other, trading blows. They appeared to be evenly matched and it was difficult to see who was really going to win. It became difficult to just stand around for Salamondra. "I can't just sit here and do nothing." Salamondra was the only one brave enough to step in as he pulled out his staff and went on the attack.

"Salamondra! No!" Celestria called. Salamondra tried to join in the fight as he jumped up and tried to attack Chronope, but Chronope used his powers to reposition himself so he was aiming right at him.

"Have a nice trip!" Chronope said as he was about to send her back in time. Luckily for Salamondra, Time Hopper pushed him out of the way, but she got blasted instead and disappeared. "Thanks for helping me get rid of her."

"What were you doing?! She said she would handle it!" Cana called.

"With her out of the way, I can..." Chronope was about to claim victory, but that was right when Time Hopper reappeared right in front of him. She opened another portal and he fell right through, sending him back into the future.

"Salamondra, you've got a good heart, but you really need to learn to think before you act." Time Hopper said.

"Uh... Sorry." Salamondra said as they all regrouped.

"Well, no harm done. I sent him back to the future, and I'm sure my Celestria and Salamondra got it now." Time Hopper said. "I guess all that is really left is for me to..." She was about to leave until she realized that her memory doesn't match with what just happened. "Wait. This isn't right."

"You got that right!" Chronope said as he returned. "Did you forget that I can travel through time, especially with these marks all around? Send me back to the future all you want. It's not going to change a thing." Time Hopper tried attacking him again, but he blasted her and sent her back in time. However, she reappeared like the next second, nearly avoiding a tyrannosaurus. She tried again, but he sent her through time again. She reappeared with lasers following after her. The two of them just kept going back and forth like that while the others remained where they are.

"They just keep going back and forth. How long can this go on?" Salamondra said.

"As long as either of them want." Celestria said. "It all comes down to who can last longer." The two of them kept going until it was Time Hopper who dropped to her knees from exhaution.

"I'm sorry. He's just too quick." Time Hopper said. This wasn't looking good for them at all.

"That's it! You have to do something!" Cana said.

"She's right. We can't just sit by." Salamondra said and Celestria began to agree.

"Open the Celestial Gate!" Celestria called upon her powers and ended up getting a satellite photo with the Sagittarius sign on the back. She took a closer look and saw it was a photo of the museum topside.

"How are you going to beat me with a photo?" Chronope taunted. "Face it. There's really nothing you can do to beat me. Not even she can do it and she's a time traveler like me."

"Yes! You've got them! The miraculous are mine!" Black Wizard claimed as he believed he won.

"Not exactly." Chronope claimed. Black Wizard didn't understand as he thought Chronope came from the past to help him. "I never said I came here to help you. I'm getting them for the one who sent me." Black Wizard has been betrayed. If he's not serving Black Wizard, who is he serving. As for Celestria, she still tried to figure out a way out of this mess. She spotted the photo and one of Chronope's marks.

"Do any of you have something I can write with?" Celestria questioned. Cana reached inside and pulled out a pen, the same pencil that Time Hopper remembered.

"What are you doing?" Chronope questioned as Celestria took it and wrote on the picture.

"It really is pointless. There's nothing we can do. At the very least, I'm sending a note to myself to give me a form of closure." Celestria said.

"No!" Salamondra said.

"You can't give up!" Cana said.

"She's right! You always find a way to win!" Time Hopper said.

"Not this time. Some problems just can't be solved." Celestria said as she finished writing and walked over to Time Hopper. "Please Time Hopper, just go back to your own time." She handed her the photo, but she also winked at Time Hopper, telling her this was part of her plan. Time Hopper went along with it as she took the photo and opened a portal to return. It seemed like this might be the end.

...

The Future

"Well, that didn't go the way I expected." Time Hopper said as she stepped out of her portal and returned to her own time, where two people were waiting for her.

"No worries, Time Hopper. In fact, sometimes we need help from the past to secure the future." A woman said as she took the photo Time Hopper had and showed there was a point marked on it.

...

The Present

"Come on, Salamondra. We might as well just surrender our miraculous." Celestria said. Salamondra hated the idea of surrendering, but Celestria winked at him as well. He soon caught on that this was part of her plan. So, he went along with it and walked right over. They stood right where Celestria wanted them too.

"That's more like it. No tricks or else I'll send you to the worst time period ever." Chronope said as he walked over to them and was ready to take their miraculous. Just as he was about to, a portal opened up behind him without him expecting it. A whip shot right out of it and lassoed around Chronope with him being pulled back. Then, a staff extended out with it knocking the spray gun out of his hands.

"Now Salamondra!" Celestria called.

"Dragon Fire!" He called on his powers and grabbed a hold of the spray gun and burned it to ashes and the etherious flew out of it.

"No more evildoing for you, little etherious." Celestria activated her whip and did what she always did. "Time to de-evillize! Gotcha! Bye-Bye, little guy." She caught it, purified it, and released it.

"See, Celestria. We'll win every time." That was when the photo was thrown out with Celestria grabbing it and Time Hopper walking out. As for Chronope, he turned back into a regular person.

"Celestria? Salamondra? You're both so young. What's going on?"

"It's okay, Romeo." Time Hopper said as she helped him and Celestria shocked that it's Romeo. "Let's just get you home." She helped him through the portal and everything was beginning to return to normal. "See? You always find a way to win."

"Yeah... Thanks." Celestria said as she was starting to feel good about herself again. "Miraculous Starlight!" She threw the photo in the air and unleashed the magic stars, helping return everything to the proper time.

"Well, time for me to head home." Time Hopper said.

"Hey! Can you tell me when I'll get my miraculous?" Cana said.

"When you become as cool as me." Time Hopper said before she dived inside the portal, sealing it, and the timeline restored to normal.

...

Black Wizard

Black Wizard was disappointed in more ways than one. He transformed back into Zeref and went back inside his house, baffled by what happened. He thought Chronope came to help him, but if that's not the case, does that mean he's not Black Wizard in the future.

"If I'm not the one who sent him, I'm not Black Wizard. Does that mean I failed?" Zeref said as he tried to make sense of it.

"Or you succeeded. The future isn't written in stone." Invel assured. He might not be Black Wizard in the future, but Zeref is far from beaten.

...

Lucy

"That was all unbelievable." Lucy said. She was back at home and jotting down her thoughts in her diary. "I know that was me and Salamondra in the future, but where did Chronope really come from? It didn't sound like Black Wizard was the one who sent him."

"Maybe not, but at least you did managed to beat him. The powers of time traveling can be quite dangerous." Stella said.

"Stella, do you really think I can become a great hero like Time Hopper says I am?" Lucy questioned.

"I'm sure of it. There might be no telling what the future has in store for us, but you certainly have a long and great future as Celestria ahead of you." Stella assured. That did sound nice to Lucy, and maybe she can become that great hero. There's no way to predict what the future really has in store for us. Some will be good, but some will be bad. Only time will tell.
