Running back

The orb

As soon as I saw the akuma before me I backed away as quickly as possible. This was that akuma, but how had something that wasn't supposed to happen for almost a year get pushed up to now just like that? What had happened that messed with time? I hid behind a tree, looking out to see Kim frantically searching for me. I was flattered but didn't see the point since he should just get out of here, what mattered is that he was safe. Fluff appeared from where she'd originally been in my car but had flown around out of sight to me at the first sight of the akuma. I prepared myself for the mission at hand and transformed, immediately using my power to check out what was going on. I leapt through the blue circle and sighed at the familiar landscape of limitless time. Instead of watching what Ladybug and Cat noir did, which is what usually happened. I filtered it out to scenes with Soie. In moments I was watching a scene from today. "She's found it, Rossi it's time for you to strike her where it hurts", the butterfly themed villainess spoke menacingly. "It would be my pleasure to bring her down, she's no ones hero, well she won't be when I'm finished with her", Lila agreed. I watched as Lila was akumatized into that terrible fire akuma I had never wanted to see in the timeline this early. But I immediately realized what had happened and stepped into a watery landscape. I held my breath, wishing I had grabbed a power up first. I ducked into a cave and ate a power up in the little air the cave provided. In the time that took though the cat and bug team had found the orb. But not to long after I saw the two swim away and my eyes caught sight of the orb. They clearly hadn't researched it enough to know what this orb had to offer. With the help of a miraculous ladybug lucky charm orbs like this could provide answers to what had to happen for everything in time to work out, they had been very helpful to me over the years. I grabbed it and went through my portal. Now that I had returned back into normal time I remembered the key lucky charm that Bridgette hadn't needed to answer the solution for my akuma. I pulled it from the timeline, knowing it wouldn't be missed for the few seconds it took for me to use it and for Tikki to switch to Bri. I let it hover over the orb and it sucked the key in, projecting a holographic image on the floor for me to watch. I sucked my breath in, I was honestly really scared of what was going to happen in this video. Anything could be the answer, from a friend dying to the simple removal of a decor item. It was scary how much a simple object could change ones outcome in the story. I let the breath go and played the video. The first thing I saw was a very familiar face staring at me, his eyes staring into my soul, almost lifeless. "Sis, the answer is held within you, within Paris, within your grasp of memory, if you are seeing this, you have taken too many precautions. You must trust him to defeat the fire before you", Jalil spoke, his voice cold and threatening. I watched in shock and then the video ended. I thought I understood what he meant, "trust him". You got it bro. I jumped into a timeline where Kaalki was using her portal to get to Marinette's room and took the monkey miraculous and was back in seconds. Lila's familiar akuma raged through Paris destroying anything in its path. The few classmates of Alix's that were left looked at her in shock, she ran to Kim handing him the miraculous. He looked up at her in shock, her red hair catching his attention. "I trust you Hercules", was all she said before leaping into battle with the cat and bug team. "Bunnix get out of here!", Ladybug yelled, using her yo-yo like a fan to direct the fire away from a garbage dumpster full of cardboard. "We're going to need you if this goes south!", Cat noir yelled right after. "Don't worry guys I got this!", Bunnix yelled over the raging flames. "Uproar!", was heard from the flames and a small toy came flying through the air, hitting Lila smack dab in the forehead. Lila gasped in shock as her powers shifted, turning to water and putting out the fire. "Yes!", Cat noir cheered fists pumping in the air. Alix threw Kim a glance, very impressed by how this had worked out, but only moments later did she run to Chloe who had somehow wound up in the chaos. She pulled her into a hug and whispered "I fixed it". Chloe smiled and patted her back, "I knew you would, now go and get your boyfriend!", Chloe teased. Alix grinned and ran off towards the monkey themed hero, wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug. Meanwhile the cat and bug team had gotten the akuma and where fixing the havoc Lila had wreaked on Paris. "I lied to you", Kim started. Alix looked up at him in confusion but his face only held sadness. "My parents didn't leave, they're gone", Kim finished, his head dropping. Alix pulled him back in for a hug, telling him her own secret. "I watched you for a long time from my burrow, I knew what I was dealing with", Alix admitted. Laughter filled the air as Kim realized she'd seen a lot of things and why he'd gotten his miraculous taken away in the first place. Alix looked up to the fixed landscape and turned back to the boy that was still holding onto her. "We didn't get to finish that dance".
