You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book 3

Timetagger: Part 2

"Alya, can you handle these three on your own? I just remembered (y/n) and I promised my dad we would try out his new macaroon recipe," Mari says as we go to get up. "Yum, maybe we could all go over and try it out with you if that's ok?" Alya suggests trying to lift Chris's spirits. I shake my head. "Sorry but Tom is super shy with any new recipe because he's worried if it'll taste good and really only trusts his family to taste it. You have no idea how long it took for me to convince him to let me taste test too," I pipe up before dragging Mari away with a quick goodbye.

"Nice excuse," Flaake sarcastically drones out and Tikki nods telling us it wasn't the best excuse we've had. "We know but we're running out of excuses, we've needed so many this week," Marinette exclaims and I nod, sighing, "It would help if Hawkmoth would leave poor Mr. Ramier alone." With that, we quickly transform and follow the pigeons to find Chat Noir already on the scene.

"Ladybug, Chat Noir, (s/n)! If you don't give me your miraculous this pigeon iron will crash down on The Louvre Pyramid and give all the tourists inside will get perfectly flat socks! Pigeons have a right to culture too. PROO PROO!" Mr. Pigeon threatens when we arrive. "Hey there ladies, no need to brief you on this one right?"

"Nope. Let's just end this fast like the last twenty-three other times. Lucky Charm." "Cataclysm." "Ice Storm," We summon our powers and within a few seconds Mr. Pigeon is defeated and LB was already saying goodbye to the little butterfly. At this point, not even the surrounding people cared if Mr. Ramier was akumatized. "Please don't tell me it happened again," Mr. Ramier asks as we help him up. "It's ok Mr. Ramier, we'll always be here to bring you back to the good side," Ladybug reassures him and he eyes André's ice cream cart. "Can I buy you three ice cream to make up for it?"

He offers and we instinctively check our miraculouses for time. We still had five minutes. "Well since we keep getting better at this we do have a few minutes before we transform," Chat exclaims, looking happy to get free food. We get our ice cream and Mr. Ramier apologizes again for the billionth time this week about getting akumatized.

"I'm really sorry I just can't help it. Whenever I see something happen to my beloved pigeons it breaks my heart and..." "Hawkmoth akumatizes you again. There has to be a way to prevent this from happening again," I say when our miraculous gives us another warning. "We have to go but thanks for the ice cream," We get up and throw away our trash before giving our usual pound it. Just as we were about to take off though... "Yo! I'm Timetagger from the future man! I crisscross time with a spray paint can. Looks like your times up at last cuz I'm gonna send you way back to the past!"

Timetagger sprays some gang sign on the ground before shooting at Mr. Ramier who goes through a green portal and we're shoved to the side as a huge statue appears of...Mr. Ramier?! "Lord Ramier Featherbottom. Knight of the king, and founder of The Order of the Great Pigeon?" Chat Noir reads the plague in confusion before our attention turns to the Parisians screaming in fear as Timetagger starts attacking them.

More gang signs started covering the ground and if anyone touched them they were teleported away. Our miraculouses flash/beep reminding us we were low on time. "Only three minutes left." "No time to lose," We charge at Timetagger, using our weapons to try and hit or catch him but he teleports out of the way. "Ladybug, (s/n), and Chat Noir now you're stuck. If you wanna catch me then ha good luck," He raps and once again we charge at him but soon fall to the ground as he yet again teleports away. "All I have to do is go back in time to escape with a laugh and a rapping rhyme."

"That's how he's teleporting, through time and space," I mutter as we get up and watch Timetagger talk to Hawkmoth. "I come from the future. A future where Ladybug, Chat Noir, and (s/n) are adults. It was future Hawkmoth's idea to send me into the past to seize their miraculous before they can obtain their adult powers," We charge yet again still unable to catch him as he sends more people back into the past, causing history to already start re-writing itself. "If you don't give me your miraculous I'll send everyone into the past," Timetagger threatens and as we get ready to charge again we're reminded we're out of time.

"Unlike him, I'm afraid we're running out of time," Chat exclaims. "Then we better try to gain some back," We charge yet again making him teleport out of the way before heading into The Louvre to re-charge. Heading straight for the bathroom Marinette and I de-transform and start feeding our kwamiis. "If we can't defeat Timetagger in the future when we're adults how are we supposed to defeat him now when we're younger and less experienced?"

Marinette asks worriedly and I remind her why he's here. "Remember he said he came to take our miraculous before we get our adult powers that means our adult selves can beat him and future Hawkmoth didn't wanna risk that." "Besides there's a time for everything Marinette," With that, we transform and run out just as Chat does before we run straight into Alix who looks at us in shock. "Crazy! So the message was for real!" "What message?" Ladybug asks as we get up and Alix shows us her silver pocket watch.

"This watch has been in my family since forever and came with two notes. One explained how this was the miraculous of the bunny which would be used to help a ladybug, black cat, and polar bear-themed hero team to defeat a time-traveling villain named Timetagger. We all thought it was just a fun tale because of how we got this pocket watch that was until you three showed up and we started taking the tale seriously. The other note was addressed to you three," Alix explains soon handing us a printed-out picture of a very old note.
