Chapter 2: Time Breaker
Hey everyone, I'm back with another chapter of Miraculous Tales of Fireblaze and Frost Fang! The reason for the name change will be revealed in chapter 3. I want to thank Cloud4012 for helping me with my OC and everything else. Please make sure to follow him and kival737101 as well. Anyway, sit back, relax, review, and enjoy!
We find ourselves at Brown Comics, where Leo is stacking comic books while Soll is floating nearby, reading one.
"You know, the fire guy in this comic is really interesting. He's part of a team. I wonder why he has a '4' on his chest, though. The suit's really tacky, and he doesn't even have a mask to cover his face," Soll said as he flew around.
"Hey, put that back! You're supposed to be hiding, remember? Plus, that's the Human Torch. He's part of the Fantastic Four," Leo said as he finished putting up the comic books.
Soll floated down, still holding the comic book, clearly intrigued. "Fantastic Four, huh? So they're a team? What do they do, put out fires or something?" he asked with a smirk.
Leo chuckled. "Not exactly. They're a superhero team. They fight villains, save the world—typical hero stuff. The '4' represents their team name."
Soll nodded, flipping through the comic pages. "Seems like everyone has a team these days. Maybe you should get one too, Leo. Fire Blaze leading a group of heroes... could be interesting."
Leo glanced at Soll, shaking his head. "I already work with Ladybug and Cat Noir. Besides, being a solo hero isn't so bad."
"Yeah, but imagine a whole squad with powers like yours," Soll teased, grinning. "You'd have a lot of fun."
"Fun or chaos?" Leo smirked. "Anyway, you really should put that comic back before my dad sees it."
Soll sighed dramatically, reluctantly floating back to the shelf. "Fine, fine. But you know I'm right. You're destined for bigger things than just flying solo."
Leo rolled his eyes, returning to his work. "We'll see about that, Soll. For now, let's stick to what we're good at—keeping my secret and making sure you stay out of trouble."
"Trouble? Me?" Soll grinned mischievously, making the comic book hover a few inches in the air before gently placing it back on the shelf. "Never."
Leo shook his head, a small smile on his face as he finished organizing the comics. "Uh-huh, sure."
Just then, Leo's phone buzzed with a message. He glanced at it and noticed Alya's name pop up on the screen.
Alya: "Hey, Leo, can you come down to the Trocadero? My classmates and I are having a race. It would be awesome if you could help me record for the Ladyblog!" the message said.
Leo glanced at the message and smiled. He quickly typed a reply:
Leo: "Sounds fun! I'll be there soon. Just finishing up at the comic book store."
He hit send and pocketed his phone, looking up at Soll, who was now lazily floating in the air again. "Looks like we're heading to the Trocadero. Alya needs some help with her Ladyblog."
Soll stretched and yawned. "The Ladyblog, huh? Should be interesting. You sure you can keep your secret while hanging out with her? She's pretty sharp."
Leo shrugged, grabbing his backpack. "I've managed so far, haven't I?"
"Fair point," Soll said with a grin. "Alright, let's go. Maybe we'll see some action."
Leo rolled his eyes playfully. "You're always looking for action. Hopefully, today's just a simple race."
"Simple? With you around? Yeah, right." Soll laughed as he phased through the wall, leading the way out of the comic store.
Leo shook his head and followed. As he walked out the door, he couldn't help but wonder if today would really be as calm as he hoped.

In the daytime, I'm Leo
Leo is walking through the city streets in daylight, wearing his casual clothes, blending in like any other normal kid.*
Just a normal boy with a normal life*

Miraculous! Simply the best!
Together we'll pass every test!*
Miraculous,
We see two people sitting down and having lunch at a restaurant.
One of them was a girl with pink hair, named Alix Kubdel. She was having lunch with her father to celebrate her 15th birthday.
"Happy birthday, sweetheart. Couldn't you have made more effort to dress nicely?" her father asked.
"What do you mean? I took off my cap," Alix replied.
"But today is a special day," he said.
"Well, it's only my birthday," Alix shrugged.
"No, no, no. This is a *special* birthday." Her dad reached into his pocket and pulled out a pocket watch. "This family heirloom was made by an ancestor many years ago. It's been passed down from generation to generation on their 15th birthday, and now it's your turn to inherit it," he said, pushing it toward Alix.
"It's sweet, but I already have a watch, and it syncs to my phone," Alix said, holding up her wristwatch.
"Sometimes, there's more to things than meets the eye. Let's just say our ancestor was…" He clicked the watch, and a bright blue light surrounded it. When it opened, a hologram of a woman holding a large clock appeared, showing the time. "...ahead of his time."
Alix looked at the watch in awe until her father closed it. "Of course, I'd understand if you'd prefer I bought you a new pair of rollerblades," he said with a smile.
"No, Dad, I'm stoked to have it, really. It's awesome," Alix said, reaching for the watch.
Suddenly, a timer on Alix's phone went off, signaling that she needed to be somewhere.
"Are your friends waiting?" her dad asked.
"Yeah, but I don't want to bail on you. It's cool," Alix said.
"No, no, go ahead," he encouraged her.
Alix smiled, putting on her hat. "Now, take good care of it," he said as she stood up.
As Alix walked out the door, her dad watched her go, a long, proud smile on his face.
At Trocadero, Marinette arrived at the race with a homemade banner she made for the race between Kim and Alix.
"That's pretty impressive, Marinette," Adrien said, causing Marinette to giggle.
"You picked the wrong side to root for. Alix hasn't even shown up, probably too chicken to race an athlete like me," Kim bragged.
"Spoke too soon, Kim," Alix said, showing up in her rollerblades.
"Man, I hope I'm not too late," Leo said, walking over.
"Hey Leo, glad you could come," Adrien said, noticing him.
"Of course not. I wouldn't want to miss this! Plus, if these are the people you hang out with, why not join?" Leo said with a grin.
"Your ridiculous bets are over. I'm gonna leave you in the dust, meathead," Alix said.
"You're no match for me. My neck's bigger than your thigh," Kim retorted.
"Is that a good thing?" Alya asked, and she and Marinette giggled.
Max walked in between Alix and Kim. "Let's review the rules: Two laps around the fountains, approximately 500 yards. The first one over the line is the victor. If Kim wins, Alix will relinquish her rollerblades to him. If Alix wins, Kim will be prohibited from making any more dares for the rest of the school year."
"We're through with those stupid dares," Juleka said.
"Alright, on your marks, get set—"
"Wait, hold up," Alix said, causing Kim to fall over, and the crowd giggled.
"Forfeiting already?" Kim asked.
Alix skated over to Alya and handed her the pocket watch she had received. "Alya, hold this for me, would ya?"
"Wait, I can't, I gotta—"
"Guard it with your life. It's a family heirloom," Alix said, moving back to the starting line.
"But—" Alya turned to Marinette, who was holding half of her banner. "Marinette, hold this for me, I need to record the race for my blog," Alya said, handing the pocket watch to her.
"Get set. Go!" Max called out as the race started.
"But she asked *you* to hold it, besides I need to hold up the banner," Marinette said, accidentally letting go of the watch. Luckily, Adrien caught it.
"Need a hand?" he asked.
"Uh, yeah, thanks. Gotta be careful... even if you are amazing," she said, surprising him. "At holding things... in your hands," Marinette added quickly.
"What's up with her?" Leo asked, whispering to Alya.
"Marinette has a major crush on Adrien. That's why she's acting like this," Alya whispered back to Leo.
"Last lap!" Max announced as Alix and Kim completed their first lap around the fountain.
"Adrikins? Whatcha got there? Some super old case or something?" Chloé asked, taking the watch out of his hands.
"Careful, it's Alix's," Adrien warned.
"If it's Alix's, it's probably worthless," Chloé scoffed.
"Give it back to Adrien, Chloé," Marinette said firmly.
Chloé ignored her, pressing the watch, which caused it to glow brightly. Meanwhile, Alix pulled ahead in the race. Startled by the light, Chloé dropped the watch, and it rolled onto the race path.
Everyone gasped as Alix raced forward and accidentally skated over the watch, destroying it.
"Yeah!" Alix cheered, celebrating her victory. She turned around, only to be horrified at the sight of her destroyed family heirloom.
"I call a rematch! That false start threw me off," Kim complained as Alix skated over to the shattered remains of the watch.
Alix glared at Alya. "Did you do this?"
"I had to record the race, so I gave it to Marinette. She had the banner, so she gave it to Adrien. Then Chloé snatched it and dropped it. Then you skated over it," Alya explained.
"My dad gave me this for my birthday. This is totally a family heirloom!" Alix said, skating off in anger.
"It was an accident," Marinette said, looking guilty.
"We didn't mean any harm," Adrien added.
"As if! I totally had nothing to do with it," Chloé said, shrugging it off.
"Yes, the hell you did! You're the one who went and dropped the freaking pocket watch," Leo said.
"And who are you?" Chloé asked, not knowing who he was.
"Name's Leo Brown. I just moved here, and I can already tell—based on the way you're acting and the way you carry yourself—you're a complete asshole," Leo said, causing everyone to gasp.
"Who do you think you are?" Chloé demanded.
I'm someone who knows how to treat people with respect, which is more than I can say for you," Leo replied, standing his ground.
Chloé scoffed, flipping her hair. "Respect? Please. I don't need lessons from some new kid."
"Maybe you should listen," Alya chimed in. "Leo's right. You had no reason to mess with Alix's watch."
Chloé rolled her eyes. "Oh, spare me the lecture. It's just some old junk anyway."
"That 'old junk' meant something to Alix. You just don't get it, do you?" Marinette said, stepping forward, her voice firm but calm.
Chloé's face twisted into an annoyed expression. "Whatever. I don't have time for this. Adrikins, are you coming?"
Adrien glanced at Marinette, then back at Chloé. "I'll catch up later," he said.
Chloé huffed, then stormed off without another word.
Leo shook his head, watching her leave. "Wow. She's a piece of work."
"Tell me about it," Marinette sighed. "Thanks for standing up to her, Leo."
"Anytime," Leo replied with a small smile. "No one deserves to be treated like that."
"I'm going to go after Alix!" Marinette said, running after her.
At an unknown location, Hawk Moth, surrounded by his butterflies, sensed what had happened.
"Such disappointment, frustration, and negativity. How it fills my heart with exhilaration," Hawk Moth grinned, taking a butterfly in his hands and transforming it into an Akuma. "Fly away, my little Akuma, and evilize her," Hawk Moth commanded as the Akuma flew out the window.
Back at the Trocadéro, Marinette was trying to comfort Alix.
"Maybe we can fix it," Marinette suggested.
"This watch was sick! It was one of a kind. It can't be fixed!" Alix replied.
"There must be a way to get it back to how it was," Marinette insisted.
"Like how? Go back in time and change the future? When you figure that out, let me know!" Alix said angrily, skating off.
Marinette was about to follow her when she got a phone call. Distracted, she didn't notice the Akuma fly past her and into Alix's rollerblades.
"Timebreaker, I am Hawk Moth. I'm granting you the power to retaliate against those who wronged you and to go back in time and stop the future, but in return, you must do me a favor," Hawk Moth said as Alix transformed.
"You got it, Hawk Moth!" Timebreaker replied.
As Timebreaker skated past Marinette, she hung up her phone and ran after her.
Timebreaker raced toward the others. Adrien and Leo spotted her coming their way.
"Run!" Adrien shouted as they all split up. Timebreaker reached out and touched Kim, causing him to freeze in place.
"Stop, Alix! What are you doing?" Marinette asked, shocked.
"The name's Timebreaker now. I'm going back in time to save my watch, and I'm using you punks to do it," Timebreaker said.
"Go back in time?" Marinette looked at Kim and saw he was fading away. "What did you do? Why is he fading?"
"I took his energy. He was a pain with all those bets. He deserves to disappear forever, and so do you," Timebreaker said, charging at Marinette—until someone kicked her, sending her tumbling.
Looking up, she saw Leo standing there.
"Time's up, Timebreaker," Leo said before turning back to Marinette. "Get out of here, now!"
Marinette ran as Timebreaker got up and charged at Leo. He quickly grabbed her banner and threw it at her, temporarily blinding Timebreaker and causing her to trip.
When she recovered, Leo had already disappeared.
"Tikki, we gotta transform," Marinette said, hiding behind a stone wall. "Tikki, spots on!" she called, transforming into Ladybug.
Timebreaker turned to find another victim when Ladybug jumped out of hiding and threw her yo-yo, knocking Timebreaker down.
"Freeze, Timebreaker!" Ladybug commanded.
"Help, please help me," Timebreaker pleaded, spotting Rose at the bottom of the staircase. "I messed up, please."
Rose slowly made her way up to help.
"NO!" Ladybug shouted, but it was too late. Timebreaker grabbed Rose's arm and absorbed her energy.
"Sweet Rose, always thinking of others before yourself," Timebreaker sneered, checking her energy meter. "One minute." She skated off to find more.
"I need to destroy her Akuma before everyone disappears. Where are those boys?" Ladybug muttered as she pursued Timebreaker.
Behind a tree, Adrien reached into his jacket. "Time to transform. Plagg, claws out!" he said, transforming into Cat Noir.
Timebreaker chased after Mylène, who tried to outrun her but failed. Timebreaker touched her, absorbing her energy. "One minute and a half. You won't be able to stop me where I'm going, Ladybug," Timebreaker said when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see Cat Noir's staff.
"Let me guess, we're playing tag, and you're it?" Cat Noir quipped.
"Exactly!" Timebreaker said, charging at him.
"Don't let her touch you!" Ladybug shouted as Cat Noir dodged out of the way.
"Missed me, just a second too late," Cat Noir teased.
Timebreaker scanned the area and saw Alya nearby, recording with her phone. Grinning, she skated toward her next target.
Charging toward her, Timebreaker reached out to grab Alya when Leo pulled her out of the way just in the nick of time. As he pulled her back, the two of them fell backward.
Timebreaker turned to face them, but Ladybug and Cat Noir jumped down.
"Get to safety, we'll handle her," Cat Noir said.
Leo grabbed Alya's hand and led her away. They reached the top of the staircase and crouched low.
"Are you alright?" Leo asked.
"You saved my life, thank you," Alya said.
"Yeah, of course. Plus, I was going to help you with the Ladyblog anyway. But stay right here—I'm going to find somewhere else to hide," Leo said, running off.
He ran near the staircase and opened his jacket, letting Soll fly out.
"Nice! You saved two girls, so who's it gonna be? I like the one with the glasses, but the girl with the pigtails always stutters a lot," Soll teased.
"One more word, and I'll feed you to a cat, Tweety Bird," Leo threatened.
"Okay, okay!" Soll said, backing down.
"Alright, time to transform. Soll, flame on!" Leo commanded as his necklace glowed.
An intense burst of red and orange light erupted. Flames spiraled around him, starting at his feet and quickly rising, enveloping him in a swirling inferno. As the flames covered his body, his clothes ignited into fiery embers, transforming into his superhero suit piece by piece. His chest armor solidified into a glowing red and gold flame pattern, followed by his gloves and boots, which burst into fiery, molten metal.
His mask formed over his face as the flames intensified, wrapping around his head in a fiery blaze, and his cape glowed a brilliant orange as if made of fire itself.
Leo's twin swords materialized in his hands, forged from pure flame, as the flames receded, leaving behind Fireblaze, fully transformed, striking a superhero pose.
Timebreaker raced past the staircase with Ladybug and Cat Noir hot on her tail.
"She doesn't waste time, does she?" Cat Noir asked.
"And the more people she freezes, the more minutes she gains to go back in time. Those kids are goners if we don't get the Akuma," Ladybug said.
"Where's that dang bird when you need him?" Cat Noir asked, just as Fireblaze jumped down.
"Sorry I'm late. Had some stubborn people to deal with," Fireblaze said.
"We have to stop her," Ladybug said.
Ivan tried to foolishly hide behind a small tree, but Timebreaker leaped at him. Ladybug quickly grabbed her arm with her yoyo, stopping her.
"Keep your hands to yourself," Ladybug said.
Timebreaker grinned and pulled Ladybug in, causing her to fall in front of her.
"Ladybug, move!" Fireblaze yelled.
Timebreaker reached out to grab Ladybug's Miraculous, but Cat Noir jumped in the way, allowing Timebreaker to absorb his energy.
"Cat Noir, no!" Ladybug cried as Fireblaze rushed over.
"Wow, six minutes in one go. Must've been those nine lives," Timebreaker said with a smirk, while Ladybug and Fireblaze glared at her. "Gotta go, the past is waiting."
Hawk Moth ordered her to take Cat Noir's Miraculous, but as she tried, Fireblaze and Ladybug stood in her way.
Fireblaze stood tall, his eyes burning with intensity as a red aura flared around him, much more potent than before. The flames spiraled upward, crackling with fury as they enveloped his body. His twin swords glowed with heat, casting shadows across the ground.
"Back off! I dare you to come closer," Fireblaze growled, his voice deep and menacing. The red fire surrounding him pulsed with his anger, scorching the ground beneath his feet.
Timebreaker skated in circles around him, grinning confidently. "I'm not scared of a little flame show. Let's see if you can catch me."
In a flash, she darted toward him, reaching out to absorb his energy. Fireblaze anticipated her move and swung one of his fiery swords, creating a wall of flames to block her path. Timebreaker skidded to a stop just before the flames, barely avoiding the intense heat.
"You're fast, but not fast enough," Fireblaze said, his aura growing even more intense. He charged forward, his swords slicing through the air with precision. Timebreaker dodged each strike, her skates barely touching the ground as she maneuvered around him.
She lunged at him from behind, aiming to grab his arm, but Fireblaze spun around just in time, thrusting one sword down and unleashing a burst of red fire from the ground. The flames erupted, forcing Timebreaker to leap back.
"You think you can stop me? I'm already ahead of you!" Timebreaker taunted, skating toward a staircase nearby. Fireblaze didn't let up. He dashed after her, his red flames trailing behind like a blazing comet. Timebreaker turned, aiming to freeze him, but Fireblaze raised his sword, the fire surging forward in a sweeping arc.
Timebreaker ducked just in time, skating low and using the momentum to rush him again. She kicked off the ground, launching herself toward Fireblaze's chest. He barely had time to block her with one sword, the force of her attack pushing him back. Their eyes locked, both determined, neither willing to back down.
"You're not winning this," Fireblaze snarled, the red flames intensifying around him, swirling violently. His anger fed the fire, making it more ferocious. He unleashed a flurry of strikes, each one hotter than the last, but Timebreaker kept dodging, slipping through every opening.
The two fighters clashed repeatedly, Fireblaze's flames scorching the air, while Timebreaker used her agility to stay just out of his reach. Each time Fireblaze thought he had her, she'd skate away, teasing him with her speed.
Finally, Fireblaze gathered all his strength, planting his feet firmly on the ground. His red aura exploded outward, enveloping the entire battlefield. The heat was overwhelming, and for a moment, Timebreaker faltered, feeling the intensity of his rage.
"Now!" Fireblaze roared, his swords blazing with red fire. He charged forward, the ground cracking under the force of his power. But Timebreaker, ever quick, managed to skate just out of range at the last second.
She slid to a stop at the base of the staircase, panting. Fireblaze stood a few feet away, his chest heaving, red flames flickering around him. They stared at each other, both breathing heavily, neither willing to make the next move.
The battle had reached a stalemate.
"You're strong, but you're not fast enough to catch me," Timebreaker said with a smirk.
"And you're fast, but you're not strong enough to take me down," Fireblaze replied, his voice low and steady, the red fire slowly fading around him as he controlled his anger.
Timebreaker charged at them, but both heroes dodged the attack, sending Timebreaker flying backward.
Hawk Moth growled in frustration.
"Chill out, Hawk Moth, I've got a plan," Timebreaker said, speeding away and gaining momentum.
Ladybug quickly threw her yoyo, wrapping it around Timebreaker's waist. As a result, Timebreaker pulled her along.
"I got you!" Fireblaze said, grabbing Ladybug, only to be dragged along with her.
"Don't let go!" Ladybug shouted, as electricity crackled from Timebreaker's roller blades. Suddenly, a portal appeared, sucking all three of them in.
They emerged from the portal, tumbling toward the edge of a rooftop.
"Okay, that kinda hurt," Fireblaze groaned, rubbing his head.
He and Ladybug glanced down and were stunned to see themselves cheering for Alix and Kim as the race was taking place below.
"What the heck is going on? First I fight Stormy Weather, I get superpowers, and now we're traveling back in time?! What is happening in Paris?" Fireblaze yelled, completely bewildered.
"We actually went back in time," Ladybug said, equally shocked.
They both looked down and saw Chloé taking Alix's watch from Adrien, just like before.
"My watch!" Timebreaker screamed in anger.
"Chloé, put the watch down!" Ladybug shouted, startling everyone. As they turned to see Timebreaker, the shock caused Chloé to drop the watch, shattering it once again.
"No!" Timebreaker yelled, turning her fury on Ladybug. "This time, it's your fault! I need more energy. I need to go back in time!"
Just then, Alix skated over, staring in horror at the destroyed watch.
"Ladybug… it's all Ladybug's fault," Alix growled, her anger rising.
"Is it possible? Do I see double trouble in my future? Or should I say, double villain?" Hawk Moth mused, creating another Akuma.
"Everyone, get away from her!" Fireblaze shouted, causing the crowd to scatter in panic.
"What the heck?" Leo turned, coming face to face with Fireblaze.
With Ladybug distracted by her past self, Fireblaze hurried over to Leo.
"Listen, no time to explain. We need to keep everyone away from Timebreaker. If she touches them, they're goners. Make sure everyone gets out of here, then come help," Fireblaze said urgently.
"How do I know you're not making this up? Or that you're not some evil copy of me trying to take my place?" Leo questioned, eyeing him suspiciously.
"Oh my God, I forgot I read so many comic books," Fireblaze groaned in frustration.
"Tell me something only I would know, and then I'll believe you," Leo said, folding his arms.
"When you were 5 years old, you peed the bed. You slept with a nightlight until you were 11, and you still keep that stuffed animal under your bed. And... and... when we were watching anime, you always had a crush on—" Fireblaze was about to reveal before Leo quickly shut his mouth.
"Okay, okay! I get it. I'll help," Leo said, his face flushed with embarrassment as he ran off, just as the Akuma reached Alix, creating a second Timebreaker.
Fire Blaze meets up with Ladybug just as Cat Noir appears.
"Care to fill me in?" Cat Noir asks.
"No time. We need to stop her—your life is in danger," Fire Blaze said urgently.
"Which one? I have nine," Cat Noir quipped.
"This is no time for jokes, Cat! We've already gone back in time once. I'm not trying to do it again just to save your but," Fire Blaze shot back.
"I mean it—the Akuma is in her rollerblades. We need to act fast," Ladybug said as the three of them jumped down.
"Two of them? Why am I seeing double?" Cat Noir asked, confused.
"Another thing we don't have time to explain," Ladybug replied quickly.
"The energy from these three will be enough to take us farther back," Timebreaker #1 said.
"I want my watch back. Let's do it," Timebreaker #2 agreed.
"Whatever happens, don't let them touch you," Fire Blaze warned as they charged at each other.
Using his staff, Cat Noir managed to keep one Timebreaker away, knocking her to the ground, while Ladybug and Fire Blaze used their teamwork to keep the other Timebreaker at bay. Ladybug delivered a powerful strike, knocking her opponent back.
"If we were faster, they'd be no match for us," Timebreaker #1 sneered.
"Then let's stock up on some more energy, and then we'll destroy them," Timebreaker #2 said as they skated off.
By doing a loop around Trocadero, the two Timebreakers gathered even more energy and increased their speed.
"Alright, time to go hardcore on those three. Once we get their energy, we'll have enough to go back in time," Timebreaker #1 said.
"And get our watch!" the other added as they dashed toward the heroes.
"I thought we were supposed to be chasing them," Cat Noir said just as a yo-yo and a sword flew through the air, knocking the two Timebreakers to the ground.
The three heroes turned to see another Ladybug and Fire Blaze, standing with their weapons ready.
"You guys seem like you have your hands full," the other Fire Blaze said.
"Need some extra help?" the other Ladybug chimed in.
"Thanks!" Ladybug smiled as the two new heroes joined them.
"Who better to watch my own back? Let's turn up the heat," Fire Blaze grinned.
"Those two are insane on their rollerblades," Ladybug said.
"And on the ground," Fire Blaze added.
"So, what if they weren't on the ground?" the second Ladybug suggested.
"Two Ladybugs? I'm in heaven," Cat Noir said, grinning.
"Good thing there aren't two of him," Fire Blaze muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Change of plan. Let's go back in time now—they'll be fewer of them," Timebreaker #1 shouted as the two skated off again.
"They're planning to go back in time again," both Ladybugs said in unison. "Lucky Charm!" They activated their Miraculous powers, summoning a traffic cone and a bike cable. "Any ideas?" they asked.
"You girls figure that out—we'll deal with them," Cat Noir said as he and the two Fire Blazes chased after the Timebreakers.
The original Fire Blaze spotted a giant rock carving up ahead. "Cat Noir, over there!" he pointed.
"You got it! Cataclysm!" Cat Noir slammed his glowing hand into the statue, destroying it and causing rocks to fall, blocking the Timebreakers' path.
The Timebreakers turned around only to find one of the Ladybugs in front of them.
"Let's freeze her!" Both Timebreakers reached out to freeze Ladybug, but she dodged and tied their legs together with the bike cable.
"Fire Blaze, give them a turbo boost!" Ladybug shouted.
"I'll blind them, and you hit them with an explosion!" Fire Blaze said to the other Fire Blaze.
"Alright, let's do this!" the other Fire Blaze grinned as they prepared to finish the battle.
"Solar Flare Burst!" Fire Blaze yelled as both of their necklaces glowed. A small sun formed in their hands, and they each unleashed their own orb.
One of the orbs exploded right in front of Timebreaker's face, blinding them, while the other orb exploded below their roller blades, sending the Timebreakers flying toward a ramp the other Ladybug had made using a sign and the traffic cone.
"We're going too fast! We can't stop!" one Timebreaker shouted.
"I can't see! I can't see!" the other Timebreaker yelled as they were launched into the air.
"Now!" Both Ladybugs threw their yoyos, grabbing the Timebreakers' roller blades and breaking them, freeing the Akuma. "No more evil doing for you, little Akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Both Ladybugs said as they captured the Akumas, turning them back into butterflies.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" They both threw their Lucky Charms into the air, fixing all the damage, including Alix's watch, and merging Ladybug and Fire Blaze back into one person.
"Pound it!" The three heroes said, fist-bumping.
Ladybug walked over to Alix and handed her the watch. "Here, I think this is yours."
"Sweet! How did you fix it? Thank you." Alix smiled. "I never should have given it to someone else to look after. It was my responsibility, my bad."
"Responsibility isn't something to be taken lightly. I should know," Ladybug said.
"I'll be more careful, I promise," Alix said before leaving.
Cat Noir and Fire Blaze approached Ladybug. "And to think I was really getting used to having two Ladybugs around," Cat Noir joked.
"Sorry, but you're about to have no Ladybugs around. Gotta go before I change back," Ladybug said, taking off.
Cat Noir sighed. "She'll fall for me, it's only a matter of time."
"Yeah, keep dreaming, buddy," Fire Blaze said with a smirk before running off.
At an unknown location, Hawk Moth seethed with anger. "You slipped by me this time, Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Fire Blaze, but know this—past, present, or future, you will be destroyed, and I will have your Miraculouses. I will be unstoppable!" Hawk Moth declared.
Outside Trocadero, Leo was walking away. "Man, today was something else," he said.
"Agreed. It's not every day you see another version of yourself," Soll replied.
"At least it's over. Maybe I can finally get something to eat," Leo said, when he noticed Alya walking over to him. "Hey, Alya! What's up?" he asked.
"Hey, thanks for getting all of us away from that crazy supervillain back there," she said.
"Yeah, no problem. Anyone would have done it," Leo replied, scratching his head.
"But you know, before you saved me, you kicked that villain without even thinking... like you were trying to protect Marinette. Don't tell me you have a crush on her," Alya teased, causing Leo to blush.
"Nope! Nope! Definitely not! We're just friends, that's all! Plus, I barely even know her! Why would I have feelings for her?" Leo stammered, clearly flustered. "My body just moved on its own—yeah, that's it! It just reacted!" He rambled nervously. "Anyway, I gotta go! Bye!" Leo blurted out, then quickly ran off.
"You're an interesting guy, Leo Brown," Alya said with a knowing smirk.
As Leo and Soll continued walking, Leo couldn't shake the memory of what had happened earlier. He turned to Soll, still puzzled. "Hey, Soll, when I was Fire Blaze back there, I got really mad, and this... red aura surrounded me. What was that?"
Soll looked at him thoughtfully. "Ah, you noticed that, huh? It's part of your Miraculous powers. When you get really angry or emotional, your fire energy goes into overdrive. That red aura is pure heat and energy."
Leo raised an eyebrow. "So, I basically become a walking furnace when I'm angry?"
"More like a ticking time bomb if you're not careful," Soll said with a grin. "But yeah, it's a defense mechanism. When you're in that state, your attacks are stronger, but if you lose control, it could get dangerous."
Leo scratched his head, trying to process it. "Great, so I'm a fire hazard when I'm upset. Guess I'll need to work on that."
"Or learn to control it better," Soll added. "It's a powerful ability, but it's up to you how you use it."
Leo nodded, thinking it over. "I'll figure it out. Anyway, what do you feel like eating?"
"Hot chili peppers," Soll replied without missing a beat.
Leo laughed. "Of course you'd want something spicy. But seriously, man, all you ever want is chili. What's up with that?"
Soll shrugged, grinning. "I like to keep things hot."
Leo rolled his eyes but then smirked. "You know what else is heating up? People thinking I've got a crush on Marinette."
Soll grinned teasingly. "Oh, is that so?"
Leo groaned. "Not you too! I don't have a crush on her. I barely even know her."
"Sure, sure. But the way you went all hero-mode to protect her back there? Looked pretty instinctive to me," Soll teased.
Leo's cheeks turned red. "It wasn't like that! I just didn't want her to get hurt, that's all."
"Uh-huh. Keep telling yourself that," Soll said with a smirk. "Next thing we know, you'll be writing her love poems."
"Not happening!" Leo exclaimed, clearly flustered. "We're just friends, okay?"
"Whatever you say, Leo," Soll chuckled. "But from where I'm standing, it looks like you've got some flames for her too."
Leo shot him a playful glare. "Keep it up, and I'll make sure you don't get those hot chili peppers."
"No! No, you monster!" Soll said dramatically, flying back into Leo's pocket.
As Leo continued walking, he muttered to himself, "Me and Marinette... yeah, like that's ever going to happen. She likes Adrien anyway. Plus, I just moved here—getting into a relationship isn't even on my radar."
