It's a dark hour for Paris. Black Knight has managed to steal almost every miraculous. The only ones he doesn't have are the ones he desires the most: Celestria's and Salamondra's. With his new power, he now claims his new identity as Dark Emperor. Despite that, the people still side with Celestria and believe that she will find a way to win and get them all back in the end.
"Paris is in great turmoil here." Bisca said as she was reporting to the people. "The new creation of the villain named Dark Emperor has managed to steal almost every miraculous."
"I will make your lives a nightmare unless Celestria and Salamondra surrender their miraculous." Dark Emperor threatened.
"Despite that, the people continue to support Celestria. Dark Emperor might have won the battle, but not the war." Bisca reported. Everyone continued to support the heroes as they stand at the Trocadero. Celestria came close to falling to despair, but Salamondra managed to pull her out of it.
"It doesn't matter if he's a wizard, knight, emperor, or whatever. He still hasn't won." Celestria said with newly resolved strength.
"And we'll get every single one of them back!" Salamondra said as he was as strong as ever. Celestria might not have her team anymore, but she still has her partner. Despite everything, he hasn't given up on her; and she's going to need him now more than ever.
...
Zeref
Now that Zeref has almost all the miraculous, he's even more power and more dangerous than ever. He now wears every miraculous to keep all the power for himself. As he stands in front of his parents, he can feel he's closer to his goal than ever before.
"It won't be long now, Mother and Father. The miraculous are now mine. I will soon have Celestria's and Salamondra's. Once I do, reality will be mine to alter and you both will be brought back to me and Natsu." Zeref said.
"Please reconsider." Fangg pleaded. "If you do that, someone else will lose their lives to replace them and bring balance."
"Silence! I do not care!" Zeref said as he intimidated the kwamis. "You obey me now! You will lend me your power and no one will ever be able to defeat me!" There was nothing any of them could do. As long as Zeref holds their miraculous, they are all force to obey him. It was then that he reached for his phone and gave Invel a call.
"Sir? What happened?" Invel asked.
"My plan worked better than I imagined, Invel. I now have almost all the miraculous." Zeref said. "Including the one to travel through time." He said as he held up the rabbit miraculous. "With it, I can change history itself. Celestria and Salamondra will at last no true defeat."
"Sir, wait for me. There's another way." Invel said, but Zeref wasn't listening.
"There were times I was so close to victory only to have it stolen from me, but now I can fix all of that." Zeref said as the possibilities are limitless to him, and he can't contain himself. "Anka, Darkness Spread!" He took the power of his own kwami, but the circumstances has changed his form. His hair is standing like he was going super. He was dressed in an all-black suit designed for an emperor, but the folds the inside revealed it be like stained glass. He kept his trademark mask, but his eyes were now a rainbow color. To make him look more like an emperor was the miraculous decorating his body.
"Hopps! Unify!" Hopps was pulled into his miraculous and it's power coursed through Dark Emperor. With all this power, there might be no stopping him.
...
Celestria and Salamondra
"I know how Dark Emperor managed to get the miraculous." Celestria said. She was about to explain to Salamondra, but that was when they heard something behind them. They saw Dark Emperor fall through a portal with...themselves?
"He's getting tired! This is our chance!"
"We have to get the rabbit miraculous!" Then, those three disappeared through another portal.
"What just happened?" Salamondra said.
"Trouble." Another portal opened up with Time Hopper coming out of it.
"Time Hopper! Was that us we just saw?" Celestria asked.
"Yes and no. Those were future versions of yourselves if things play like they're suppose to." Time Hopper said.
"Dark Emperor surely didn't waste any time." Salamondra said.
"And he already started with the rabbit miraculous, the power to travel through time." Celestria said as she was afraid that was going to happen.
"It's the most dangerous when it's used in the wrong hands." Time Hopper said. "Changing anything in the past will have some serious effects on the present. That's why I'm here." There really is no time to lose. If Dark Emperor can really travel through time, there's no telling what kind of damage he can do.
...
Dark Emperor
"Now, to change history." Dark Emperor said as he held out his sword and had all the other kwamis absorbed inside it to keep them close for when he needed them. "Burrow!" He tried out his new powers and opened a portal through time. He walked inside and was now inside with many portals leading to any point in time. "Extraordinary!" He said as he was amazed with what he saw. "Now, to find the perfect opportunity." He searched through parts of time to find a moment when Celestria was most vulnerable. He soon came across the moment they were fighting Phantom Writer and Celestria was restraint. "Perfect!"
...
The Past
"Time to find out who Celestria is." Phantom Writer said as this was the point she failed to remove the mask, but now for a different reason. The portal opened up with Dark Emperor walking through and both girls were surprised to see this.
"Black Wizard?" Celestria questioned.
"With a few accessories." Dark Emperor said as he has already begun to corrupt time.
...
The Team
Thanks to Time Hopper, the heroes can go after Dark Emperor. They got to work fast as they were now inside and spotted Dark Emperor has already jumped to the past during their first fight with Phantom Writer.
"Oh no! He's already gotten to work." Time Hopper said.
"Even if it's through time, he won't escape from us." Celestria said as they can fix everything. Thanks to Time Hopper, they went back to the moment just before Dark Emperor showed himself. The second he emerged into the past, Celestria tossed her whip through the portal and got it around Dark Emperor. She pulled him back in before he could even change anything and brought him back in the burrow.
"What the?! Celestria?! Salamondra?!" Dark Emperor said as he was surprised to see them. "How can you two be here?! I have the rabbit miraculous!"
"As do I." Time Hopper said. "This some sort of time paradox, but I say try not to think about it. It's a headache."
"We're taking back all the miraculous you stole!" Celestria said.
"Think again." Dark Emperor said as he took out his sword with all the kwamis flying out.
"Help us, Celestria!" All the kwamis said with Celestria not liking this.
"I am their master! Their powers are mine!" Dark Emperor claimed. "Finn! Pixi! Chill! Unify!" He called on the power of three kwamis and combined their power with him. He did feel some pain from having so many powers, but he pushed through. "Water!" Using Finn's power, he turned himself to water and slipped free. "Solid Script: Water!" Calling upon the wand, he used Pixi's powers and formed water. He had control over it and lashed it around like a giant whip, but all three of them moved away. Salamondra tried to fight back as he jumped right at him, but his staff just passed through him.
"It's no good! As long as he's like that, physical attacks won't work!" Celestria said.
"And he's using the pixie miraculous to have water he can control." Time Hopper said.
"As well as the ice miraculous for this. Ice-Make: Cage!" Dark Emperor used another power as he took the trident of the ice miraculous and formed a cage of ice around Time Hopper and trapped her. Another problem was that the cage was so small that it was hard for her to move.
"Hey! Let me out of here!" Time Hopper demanded.
"I think I'll add to my collection and take your miraculous." Dark Emperor said.
"If he takes her miraculous, we'll never be able to stop him!" Celestria said, but they can't stop him now because physical attacks won't work.
"But we can do this! Dragon Fire!" Salamondra called on for his power and was aiming to destroy the cage that held Time Hopper.
"Solid Script: Barrier!" Dark Emperor used those powers again and blocked Salamondra's only use of his power as he just touched the word instead and destroyed it instead of the cage. "You're not going to win. I'm the one with all the power now! I can use these powers over and over again!" Time Hopper can't allow to take her miraculous, so she did the only she could. She used what little room she had and retrieved her miraculous from her pocket.
"Salamondra!" Time Hopper called as she tossed her miraculous to him and she was forced to turn back into Cana. "Hold on to it so you can follow after him!"
"You won't be able to escape from us!" Celestria said.
"Oh no?" Dark Emperor taunted as he made himself solid again. "Solid Script: Smoke!" He used the pixie powers again and created a smokescreen to cover his escape. Celestria and Salamondra twirled their weapons around to blow the smoke away, but he was already gone.
"Hang on, Cana." Celestria said.
"Forget about me. We don't really have time to waste." Older Cana said. "You need to go after Dark Emperor before he changes the course of time." They hated to leave her behind, but she was right. They needed to go after Dark Emperor while they still can.
"She's right." Salamondra said as he handed over Cana's miraculous to Celestria. "We need to get moving. We'll come back for her. Now that we have our own time miraculous, we can go after him." Celestria agreed to the plan. She walked over to a portal to use the miraculous, but then she thought of something else that should be done.
"You take it." Celestria said as she offered the miraculous to Salamondra.
"Really?" Salamondra said as he was stunned she would do that.
"I don't want to make the same mistake twice. We need absolute trust in each other now more than ever." Celestria said as she needs to keep Salamondra close instead of arm's length. Salamondra was glad to hear it as he took the miraculous.
"Igneel! Hopps! Unify!" Salamondra combined the power of the two miraculous. When he combined the two miraculous, he gained rabbit fluff around his wrists, ankles, neck, and cotton tipped tail with blue trimming running through his suit. Now he could control time. Now that he has that power, he walked over to one of the portals and searched around for Dark Emperor until he found him in the events from when they fought Fleche.
"The coward is trying to catch us while our guards are down." Celestria said.
"You two better get going before he changes anything, and be very careful from whichever time you're in." Older Cana said. "The circumstances can change with just a jump." Both of them understood and jumped right through the portal.
...
Dark Emperor
Dark Emperor was in the past now and watched the past Celestria and Salamondra fight against Fleche the first time. He waited until their guard was down, but the present heroes emerged from the portal.
"You can't escape from us, Dark Emperor." Celestria said.
"We'll see about that. Burrow!" Dark Emperor said as the portal opened right underneath him and he falls through.
"Hurry!" Salamondra said as they chased after him and jumped through the portal before it closed.
...
The Burrow
They were both back in the burrow, but Dark Emperor already made another jump. Seeing he was gone, Salamondra quickly searched through another portal.
"Wait. You already used both your miraculous powers." Celestria said.
"Have I or will I?" Salamondra joked. "I don't think this miraculous has a time limit because it allows us the ability to travel through time. Therefor, we can use it's power as much as we like."
"Wow. Impressive." Celestria said as she was amazed by Salamondra figuring that out.
"And we can use this to chase after Dark Emperor." Salamondra said as he was able to find him again.
...
Dark Emperor
Dark Emperor traveled back to Heroes Day. He arrived at the point when Salamondra and Celestria escaped under the sewers. When he found them in that point of time, he saw the two of them about split up and they were about to change back to normal. He could learn their identities now, but he didn't get the chance. Another portal opened up right underneath him and he fell right through, missing his chance to learn their identities.
...
The Burrow
Dark Emperor fell back into the burrow with Salamondra and Celestria ready for him.
"Face it, Dark Emperor. There's nowhere you can run that we can't find you in." Celestria said.
"I wouldn't be too confident if I were you! Steel! Unify!" Dark Emperor added the knight miraculous to him. "Requip!" He called on the powers as he tossed the sword that came with the miraculous and ended up getting a fire sword. He gave it one good swing and used the flames to keep him separated from the two heroes and ran for another portal.
"Get him!" Celestria said as they both chased after him.
...
The Past
They traveled through different parts in time and tried to catch Dark Emperor. They passed through different moments in time and didn't really change anything. They even reached the point where they saw themselves just moments ago. During the chase, Dark Emperor was growing tired from having so many miraculous powers.
"He's getting tired! This is our chance!" Salamondra said.
"We have to get the rabbit miraculous!" Celestria said as they continued to chase after him.
...
Dark Emperor
Dark Emperor tried to stay ahead of them as he appeared in another part in time in Paris, but he was growing more and more tired.
"Tired... Can't let them take the rabbit miraculous... Roar! Unify!" Dark Emperor added the lion's power to him now. Once he did that, he tapped the morning star against the rabbit miraculous.
"You can't get rid of us so easily." Celestria said as she and Salamondra caught up to him.
"Oh yeah? In that case... AAAAWWWW!" Dark Emperor called out like he was in pain with him dropping to his knees and tried to stay awake, but he couldn't and passed out.
"What happened?" Salamondra questioned.
"He's using too many powers at once. His body can't handle it." Celestria said, but this was the best opportunity. She reached down and took the rabbit miraculous so he can't use it anymore and lost one of his power, but that helped Dark Emperor pull himself together.
"Summon!" Dark Emperor used his powers again and was able to take the miraculous back from it. "You will never get it back from me. Hopps! Unify! Burrow!" He reunited it with his powers and escaped again.
"No! He's now using the lion miraculous! We'll never get it back if has that!" Celestria said.
"But that link will break once he recalls that power." Salamondra said.
"But when?! Where?! We can't keep going like this!" Celestria said as this could go on forever when they need to end this soon. There's only one option left. "Open the Celestial Gate!" She called on her powers and ended up getting a mini miraculous box. "That's odd. I got the same thing when we fought him on Heroes Day back when he was just Black Wizard."
"I also don't see a zodiac sign on it. What does that mean?" Salamondra questioned. Celestria tried to figure that out until she looked across the canal and spotted a younger Mavis and she was carrying the Miracle Box. Every time Celestria got an item like that, she go to her.
"We're going to need help from an old friend." Celestria said as she knows what to do.
...
Dark Emperor
As for Dark Emperor, he ended up in a different part of time, but he was growing weak. He had to figure out what was going on, but he just missed his chance since this was the time when Salamondra and Celestria were under the affects of Reversion.
"Kwamis!" Dark Emperor called as he released the other kwamis to speak with them. "What's happening to me? Why do I feel so weak? I order you to answer me."
"You're using too many powers at once." Fangg told him. "You're human body cannot handle it. Kwamis also need food to replenish their strength after using their powers."
"But I don't have anything." Dark Emperor said.
"If you destroy us, you'll destroy yourself." Fangg warned. It would seem Dark Emperor will have to put his plans on told for a moment.
"Burrow!"
...
Invel
"Sir, wait for me. There is another way." Invel said as Dark Emperor traveled back to the point to just before he used his new powers, but directly to Invel.
"Darkness Fade!" Dark Emperor turned back into Zeref with all the kwamis being released and Invel being alerted of his presence.
"Sir? What's going on?" Invel questioned.
"I need food for these creatures." Zeref ordered as he's now wasting time instead of using it.
...
The Past
Deciding to get help from the past, Celestria and Salamondra paid a visit to Mavis back when she was traveling with the miraculous. As a young Mavis walked through the streets of Paris, she was met with a surprise from Celestria and Salamondra appearing right in front of her.
"Mavis, we need help. We need a miraculous." Celestria said.
"Huh? Who are you?" Mavis questioned. She showed they were friends by showing her their miraculous. "What is this?"
"We're from the future." Celestria said. "You entrusted the miraculous to us. We know all about you and what happened, but you can trust us." She tried to reason with Mavis and bet on her faith in them. Through optimism and intuition, Mavis smiled at them and showed that she did believe them. That's why she opened up the box and revealed the miraculous.
"Choose an ally you can trust to give a miraculous to. Such powers must be used for the greater good." Mavis said.
"We know. You can trust us." Celestria said as she already knows which one to take: the lion miraculous. "We'll bring it back to here so we don't disturb the flow of time."
"It should only take a few seconds." Salamondra said as they could now get to work.
...
Present Day
"Dad? What's going on? What are we doing here?" Cana questioned as she was entering the museum with her father, Gildarts.
"I thought we take a look through time." Gildarts said, but Cana didn't get it as the two walked through the museum. "I remember when you were a little girl that you loved fortune telling with tarot cards. What made you get interested in something like that?"
"I don't know. I just thought it was always interesting." Cana said. "Having the ability to see a future possibility is incredible."
"And you simply loved doing it. I always tell you that you should do the things you love to have the happy life you want." Gildarts said. "The time we have is precious and priceless. We only got one life, so we got to do it right. Ever since we lost your mother, I knew I had to make every moment with you count; and that I cherished every moment I had with your mother. After all, I wouldn't have had you without her."
"I know. Sometimes you still act like I'm a little girl." Cana said with annoyance. "Dad, what is this about?"
"Because what's about to happen is a big moment." Gildarts said as he firmly looked at his daughter. "It's hard for a parent to accept that his little girl is becoming a woman, but I've always been a little easygoing." Cana didn't get it. Just then, Celestria and Salamondra came through the portal.
"Celestria?!" Cana said.
"Pardon me, Mr. Alberona, but I need your daughter for something." Celestria said.
"No need to explain anything, Celestria. I already know all about it." Gildarts said as he pulled out photos and letters from the future Cana. This meant that this is the time Cana gets her miraculous. She almost couldn't believe it, almost as much as she couldn't believe her father knew this was going to happen. Since he knows, there's no need for secrets.
"Cana Alberona, this is the miraculous of the lion, which will grant you the power of summoning." Celestria said as she handed her the miraculous.
"But I thought I was suppose to get a rabbit miraculous." Cana said.
"It's complicated, and there's not a lot of time to explain." Celestria said. Cana didn't get it, but she trusted Celestria. She gladly took the miraculous with another Roar emerging from it.
"Hi. I'm your kwami, Roar."
"Once we obtain the rabbit miraculous Dark Emperor has, you will finally get your miraculous and keep it." Celestria. "Sadly, in order to protect it, I'm afraid you won't be able to return home for some time." Cana was shocked to hear that, but Gildarts wasn't concerned. He knew this would happen and he knows she'll be back one day. Cana's world is about to change, but she's ready for it.
"All you need to say now is "Roar, Call"!" Roar claimed.
"Roar, Call!" Cana transformed with her gaining attire that made her look like an amazon with her wearing a dress that went down to her knees with claws as shoulder pads and wore boots. Her hair tied back and looked wild. She was also given lion ears on her head with a mask placed around her eyes.
"Lioness, ready!" She claimed, but still had to say goodbye. "I'll be back soon, Dad."
"Cana!" Gildarts called as he now got sappy and hugged his precious daughter. "I love you so much!"
"Eew! You're being too emotional!" Lioness complained, but she actually was going to miss that. "So, what's the plan?"
"First, we need a little trip to the past." Celestria said as she was putting her plan into action. The three heroes dived back inside the portal. Once there, Salamondra opened another portal to just moments ago. When no one was looking, Lioness tapped her morning star against the rabbit miraculous that was in Dark Emperor's hands. All they have to do is wait IN the right moment.
...
Zeref
"I know I can beat Celestria. I just need to find the right moment." Zeref claimed as Invel was feeding the kwamis pieces of a sandwich.
"Sir, there might be another way." Invel said. "I was trying to tell you earlier. You could go back to before your mother fell victim to the unicorn miraculous. You could save her, therefor save your father." He claimed and handed him a drive. "You just need to give them this. This holds instructions to repair the miraculous. If you do this, you'll change the timeline and save your parents."
"Of course!" Zeref said as he realized that himself and took it. "Why didn't I think of that sooner?!Thank you, Invel! Anka, Darkness Spread! Hopps! Roar! Unify!" He combined all three of the miraculous together and transformed again with him sealing the other kwamis in his sword. Once he did that, he took the morning star and touched the rabbit miraculous so he doesn't lose it.
"Burrow!" He opened up the portal again and walked through. Once he was inside, he searched around until he found the right time. He found a moment where his parents were still alive. Seeing them happy brought back so many memories for him and made him feel sentimental. "Soon, Mother and Father... Our family will be whole again." He was about to drop the drive inside and change time, but then he noticed something. He looked and saw the mini box that Celestria had. "Celestria! Trying to trick me, are you?" He was about to go through with Invel's idea until he looked at it again. "Wait. I've seen that before." He couldn't help himself. He searched through a different pocket of time until he found what he was looking for. "There!" He said as he was at Heroes Day from when Celestria and Salamondra confronted him, but he saw the present Celestria and Salamondra were in hiding. "You will not steal my future! Mother... Father... Please wait a little longer." He said as he actually ignored his best chance to change everything and went into a different part of the past.
...
Heroes Day
Dark Emperor emerged on Heroes Day when Celestria and Salamondra confronted him then. Staying out of sight, the present Celestria and Salamondra waited. It seemed like they didn't notice Dark Emperor emerging, but...
"Now!" Celestria called.
"What?!" Dark Emperor said.
"Summon!" Lioness revealed herself and used her powers with the light traveling to Dark Emperor's pocket and taking the rabbit miraculous he had.
"Burrow!"
"Bye!" Lioness said as she fell through a portal that Salamondra opened.
"No!" Dark Emperor called as all his plans are ruined now.
"Doesn't matter what time you're in, Dark Emperor. You'll never win." Celestria said as Salamondra opened another portal for them and they fell through. As for Dark Emperor, he dropped to his knees as all of his plans were completely ruined now. He blew his only chance to save his parents.
...
Burrow
The three heroes regrouped with Older Cana and now had everything they needed.
"Miraculous Starlight!" Celestria tossed the box and used the magic stars to restore everything to how it was with Older Cana finally being free from the prison.
"Finally. I was getting a cold cramp. Not pleasant." Older Cana said as everything was how it should be, and the heroes got at least one miraculous back. Lioness turned back into Cana and handed the miraculous back to Celestria while Salamondra returned to his normal self and gave Older Cana her miraculous.
"Pound it!" The three heroes celebrated. There was only one thing left.
"Cana, it's finally time." Celestria said as Cana was holding the current rabbit miraculous. Her time is finally here as Hopps flew out of the miraculous.
"Hopps, Forward!" Cana called on the power for the first time and became a younger version of Time Hopper.
"You're now as cool as me." Older Cana said. "Now, let's restore everything to the correct time." She said as there was still a couple things to do. First, they brought the lion miraculous back to Mavis in the past. Second, there was still someone they needed to get.
...
Dark Emperor
Dark Emperor thought he failed, but then he realized something. He was still in the past.
"Fool. You shouldn't have left me here, Celestria, because I can still reshape the future." Dark Emperor said as he thought he could pull off another sinister plan, but he just jinxed himself. A one last portal opened up for him and he fell right through. Dark Emperor traveled through time one last time and ended up back in the present, just seconds after Time Hopper came and got them. He landed right on a roof with Celestria and Salamondra waiting for them as Celestria tied her whip around him.
"Time to give back all the miraculous you took!" Celestria said as they thought they were finally going to win.
"You will never get another miraculous from me! Marissa, Unify!" Dark Emperor added another power to his. "Evaporate!" He turned himself into mist and managed to escape from them with all the other miraculous.
"No!" Celestria groaned.
"At least we got one." Salamondra said.
"At what price?" Celestria questioned.
"We'll get them all back. Once we do, Cana will be able to come back." Salamondra said. That's something they have to hope for. At least Dark Emperor is already less powerful, but he still has all the other miraculous.
...
Zeref
"Mother... Father... Forgive me. I had a chance to change everything and I failed." Zeref said as he stood before his parents in defeat. Then, he got a phone call from Invel.
"Zeref, what happened? Did you do it?" Invel questioned.
"I... I failed. Celestria tricked me and stole the rabbit miraculous." Zeref admitted with Zeref shocked and feeling weak. "You have to help me! Celestria must pay for this!"
"You had a chance to change everything." Invel said as he sounded upset. "You could have changed everything, but you cared more about defeating Celestria. Your desire to gain the miraculous has turned into an uncontrollable desire. You let your obsession with Celestria get the better of you."
"It's not my fault!" Zeref said.
"Whose else could it be?!" Invel said as this was unforgivable. Zeref could have changed everything, but he cared more about defeating Celestria than helping his closest friend and saving his parents. "You don't deserve my help anymore! You are on your own!" Invel is actually cutting ties with Zeref. Zeref was now feeling rage, fury, and any other emotion to describe how furious he was. Rather than owning up to it, he blames it all on one person.
"CELESTRIAAAAAA!"
