Su-Han POV

I regained consciousness and saw all of the miraculous holders out cold and Alex pinned down by Hawkmoth. The Cataclysm was aimed above his head. I got up and picked up my staff. Clutching onto my wounded stomach, I quickly raced towards Hawkmoth and struck my staff at his back, causing him to stumble away from Alex, who was clutching onto his broken ribs. As I helped him up to his feet, we dodged a fox shaped mist aimed at us.

"You have irritated me beyond reasoning. DIE!" He shouted and summoned a wave of dark butterflies, surrounding us. 

"I can't see." Alex shouted, waving away the butterflies. Hawkmoth aimed the bee sting at him. Before he could react,  the venom struck him. He was frozen in place, but his eyes shone with fear. Hawkmoth laughed as he aimed the cataclysm at him. With a wave of his wrist, he fired it at him.

"NO!" I shouted and ran in front of him and blocked it with my staff. Despite my efforts, we were sent crashing into the throne room. Alex recovered from the bee's venom and ran towards me, clutching my hand.

"Master, hang on." He said.  I shook my head and smiled.

"You must finish this. Before it's too late." I said, coughing up blood. My right hand turned to dust. I pushed my staff into his hands.

"Jab my staff into his chest, my chi should be powerful enough to diffuse the power of the miraculous from him. I know you can do it." I said.

Alex wiped the tears from his eyes and hugged me tightly.

"Don't go, Master. Please." He begged.

I smiled and ruffled his hair.

"I will be with you and your friends always." I said.

Everything turned black.

Alex POV

I watched as my mentor turned into dust in front of me, leaving behind his staff, which was glowing with golden chi. I picked up the staff and holstered it onto my back before glaring at a laughing Hawkmoth.

"Crying  over an old man? Pathetic. Even for you." 

I pulled out my eskrimas and got into my stance. Hawkmoth blitzed forward and summoned a sword shaped like a dragon. I parried the attacks and backflipped out of the way, throwing some throwing knives at him.

"UPROAR!" Hawkmoth shouted, causing the throwing knives to clatter onto the ground.  He launched a large wave of fire at me. I quickly dived out of the way, rolling onto the ground and landing on my feet. Hawkmoth darted towards me and snapped a kick at my chest. I dodged and threw my boomerang at him. Hawkmoth dodged and summoned a green turtle shell from behind me, smacking into my back. I was thrown onto the throne. My eskrimas and Su-Han's staff clattered away from me. My mask was removed from my face and my bodysuit was dented. Hawkmoth grabbed me by the throat and chuckled.

"You know, I should've killed you when I had thee chance 2 years back*. Back when you caused my son to betray me.  Now, I can get rid of you and start the timeline from scratch. I will have my family back. And you won't stop me."

This grip tightened as I struggled. My vision started to blur as I started to lose consciousness. Until, Hawkmoth cried in pain as an arrow impaled his shoulder. I dropped to the ground and coughed. I saw Tina clutching her bow  and panting for breath. 

"Why you little-!" Hawkmoth growled and darted towards her. Before she could react, Hawkmoth punched her in the stomach using Purple Tigress' power, Clout. She crashed into the wall and slide onto the ground. 


I quickly picked up Su-Han's staff and darted forward. Hawkmoth was about to use the snake miraculous to stop time, but I picked up my fallen boomerang and threw it at him. This time, it impaled his arm. Whilst his guard is down, I jabbed the staff into his chest. Golden Chi burned my arm as I plunged the staff deeper into his torso. Hawkmoth screamed as the explosion occurred between us. I was sent flying into the wall. Su-Han's staff clattered next to me. Hawkmoth was on the ground, unmoving. Tina quickly ran towards me and clutched my burned and broken arm.

The last thing I saw was Marinette and the others running towards me.

After that, I blacked out from the pain.
