Ladybug, Cat Noir, Flash, and Alix look up at the newly akumatized supervillain, Archaeologist, as he hovers in the air in a mini tornado of sand.

He wears an explorer's hat, a brown leather jacket, a beige suit and pants, with a satchel slung over his right shoulder. His face is covered by a scarf and goggles. And he holds the device in his left hand.

Alix: Dad, please. You have to resist Hawk Moth's control!

Flash: Your daughter's right Mr. Kubdel, you have to fight it.

Archaeologist: I'm not Alim Kubdel. I am the Archaeologist! And with this device, I can use it to create any weapon or artifact from any point in time!

As he lands on the ground, he uses the device and pulls an ancient Egyptian sword out of the satchel, clips the device to his belt, and slashes at Ladybug and Cat Noir.

(Clang!)

Cat Noir swings and extends his staff to block Archaeologist's sword and the two begin to clash with each other.

As they trade swings, Cat Noir barely missed getting slashed by the sword. The Archaeologist then turns to Ladybug, and throws the sword.

Flash: Watch out!

Flash darts toward Ladybug, grabbing her and moving her out of the way. But in doing so, he drops the vial after being hit by the sword. He runs to grab it, but it hits the floor. The particles all spread out, and the force of the dispersal knocks Alix back into the chemicals. Rendering her unconscious.

Alix: Urrghh!

(KKrashh!)

Archaeologist: You think your powers will save you? You'll just be footnotes in ancient history.

Cat Noir manages to get one good hit out of Archaeologist, knocking him backwards.

(Whack!)

Cat: Save it for the history class!

Ladybug: Let's get out of here!

Ladybug lassos Alix with her yoyo and carries Alix on her shoulder. They run out of the Egyptian exhibit.

Archaeologist: You can try, but you can't outrun the past.

Hawk Moth: Don't let them escape! Or I'll remove your powers!

He gives chase, but they escape after Flash blocks Archaeologist's path, by knocking over another Obelisk.
He looks towards the two teenage superheroes.

Flash. You still think I'm a supervillain?

Hawk Moth: They're getting away!

Archaeologist: Not to worry, I've plenty of time to prepare before they return.

He takes the device, scans the surroundings and presses a button, the device glows bright green.

Flash rushes the two heroes, and an unconscious Alix, back to Barry's apartment.
As the trio of heroes regroup, Ladybug and Cat Noir look around at the temporary HQ Flash has set up. Fortunately, Barry managed to hide anything that would compromise his identity before he left for the museum with the device.

Flash: Lay Alix on the bed, I'll run a medical scan on her as soon as the device warms up.

He activates a device.

Cat: So, this is your hideout?

Flash: In a manner of speaking.

Ladybug: We can talk about the secret hideout later, but right now it's time for some answers. For starters, Who are you, and what were you doing at the museum?
