"Bunnix? What are you doing here?" Ladybug looked up at the rabbit Kwami holder as Bunnix put her hands on Ladybug's shoulders.

"Chat Noir knows your identity right?" Ladybug nodded as a reply and Bunnix brushed her hand through her hair in frustration. "This is bad... come with me we have to fix this." Practically dragging the spotted hero through her portal, they both entered the vast space of time. Ladybug marvelled around in awe of what she saw.

"Wow, what is this place?"

"It allows me to go back and forward through any time period." Bunnix placed her hand over one of the circles as the image disappeared and became re-placed with a new one. "We need to go back to before your science teacher was akumatized. Maybe stop her akumatisation altogether. It's the only way to fix this from where I'm standing."

"What about the week before? I'm pretty sure if we stop mine and Chat Noir's kwami from meeting in that room we can stop it? But I'm not sure how that'll work."

"Too risky. There has to be something even simpler." Bunnix thought for a moment before snapping her fingers. "Wait, surely if you just simply your past self back in the fight then there'll be more of a chance you'll defeat her. I mean when I was akumatized into timebreaker years ago you managed ok with double."

"If that's our best option so far, let's do it. If it goes badly pull me out of the situation and we'll rethink." Bunnic turned to another circle as she navigated fo the exact moment they were after.

"Ok, you'll just before past you is thrown out of the classroom. As long as none of you detransform things should be fixed." Bunnix stepped back as Ladbug approached the newly made portal. "Good luck Minibug, I'll watch from here."

As Ladybug stepped through the bright blue light she found herself hidden from the sight of others. She quickly located Alya and forced her to flee after a quick explanation. She then tried to get students to go home and leave the school premises for their own safety.

Just as she paused for a quick breath that was when past her was thrown out into the open. Ladybug ducked behind the stairs as she watched the scene unfold; making sure she made herself seen at the right time. As she watched her past self struggle to stand Kwami Buster walked out. She aimed her vacuum at the hero and was about to fire but Ladybug jumped in front of her struggling self and fought back.

Shocked and confused, Kwami Buster glanced between the two versions of the superheroine.

"No matter, I'll take both of your miraculous, the more the merrier as they say."

Ladybug helped her past self up off the ground as she brushed her red suit down to get rid of all the dirt from the floor.

"Um, thanks. I'm guessing you're me from the future?"

"Exactly, and if we don't defeat her then... Well let's just say a certain cat finds out our identity." Past Ladybug groaned.

"Let's set her akuma free then, any ideas?" In between dodging Kwami Buster's attacks, the two bugs tried to formulate a plan. Chat Noir had finally decided to help them out but had a massive grin on his face throughout (probably due to there being two Ladybugs).

Chat Noir managed to slam her into a row of lockers with his baton before turning to his partners. "So Bugaboos, where's the akuma?"

Both heroines rolled their eyes simultaneously and said in unison. "It's obviously in her vacuum. We just need a way to get it off her."

Whilst the two bugs were busy talking to Chat, Kwami Buster had managed to get back up and now aimed her vacuum at the past Ladybug. Before the others knew what was happening she was detransforming.

"Not again!" Ladybug doged the green beam that headed in her direction as she took Marinette to safety. She mentally slapped herself, how could she be so stupid as to have gotten distracted? Mental note- ignore Chat Noir's funny business during important battles.

Before Kwami Buster could touch the bluenette she was pulled back into a portal that Bunnix had made.

"Ok Minibug. We have to keep trying. Whatever it takes to keep your identity a secret." With a flick of her wrist Bunnci went back to start of the battle and pushed Ladybug back out. "Good luck. the mistakes you made last time and try to avoid them."!

Even with the advice the same thing happened repeatedly. Either past her had detransformed or she had. Ladybug had lost count of the number of times she had been forced to fight the same fight. It always ended the same, in disaster.

Bunnix was pacing through the portal room; refusing to stand still for even a second.

"Why is this not working! What are we doing wrong? There has to be a way." She pressed her fingers to her temples and closed her eyes whilst still frantically pacing.

Ladybug sat crossed legged on the floor deep in thought. Suddenly she jumped up and grabbed Bunnix's shoulders.

"Take me to Master Fu, I have an idea on how to capture her akuma and end this."

"Are you sure? Isn't it dangerous to add more kwamis into the mix since that's clearly what she's after?"

"Just trust me, this will work." Ladybug made her way to one of the portals as Bunnix sighed. With a wave of her hand she set the portal to Master Fu's shop.

"I hope you know what you're doing Minibug." Ladybug nodded at Bunnix's reply before entering the portal.

Opening the door to the room Master Fu spent most of his time, she quickly detransformed into to her civilian form.

"Master, I need help." She glanced around the room before spotting the turtle miraculous holder reading a book in the corner. Closing the door behind her, he shut the book and looked up at the bluenette.

"Hello future Marinette, I think I know why you're here."

"I need to borrow a miraculous please Master. It's the only way I can think of defeating Kwami Buster." Fu simply nodded before reaching over to the mita le box and laying it out in front of Mari. Ioon opening the lid the box fully opened; reveling an array of coloured jewellery. Marinette thought for a moment before making her decision. She picked up the mouse miraculous and wrapped the necklace around her neck. Mullo (the mouse kwami) appeared by her side.

As she got up to leave she stopped and came up with a plan. "I think I need a few more miraculouses master."

Master Fu looked from the box to her, confused. "How many more?"

"As many as you can spare. The more we have, the more bait we have to attract Kwami Buster." Fu scratched the back of his head before sighing deeply.

"Ok, take as many as you need. As long as they are all safely returned things will stay in balance." Marinette took a quick peek at all the miraculous laying in front of her as she decided to take 5 more. At first Fu was skeptical but knew that Marinette could be trusted. As she put them all on she only actually activated one.

"Mullo, get squeaky!"

Turning into Multimouse she immediately activated her special ability. As she shrunk down and multiplied, she handed each of her smaller selves one of the other miraculous. The main Multimouse nodded her heads to the others as they all snuck inside their kwami's mouth and flew to the school. Marinette was confident they would finally be able to fix this whole thing so everything would go back to the way it was before.

"Where is that stupid cat?" Multimouse was hovering over the school, trying to locate her partner. Bunnix had took her a bit further back in time to when they first showed up to make sure she had as much time as possible. Spotting him, she asked Longg to move her closer to speak with him. For this plan to work she needed the cat ring. Before he had a chance to move, Longg stood in front of the black cat. He simply raised his eyebrows at the dragon kwami. Longg shrugged and opened his mouth.

"And who might you be lil mouse?" Chat crouched down to see the superhero a bit better. "A new partner? Actually forget I said that, no one can replace M'Lady." Her heart warmed slightly before she shook herself out of it. She had a mission to focus on.

"I'm Multimouse and I have a way to defeat the supervillain you're about to face but I need your ring for it to work. I promise you'll get it back at the end." She put on her sweetest smile; hoping he would give in to her charms.

"How do I know I can trust you?" He fiddled with the ring on his finger, his eyes refusing to leave the small hero.

"I have an army of kwamis. We need to use them as bait so I can get inside of her vacuum. From there I simply cataclysm it from the inside and capture the akuma. Job done." Chat considered her plan for a second before rubbing the back of his head.

"Ok fine! I'll give you the ring. You seem... familiar and I feel like I can trust you."

"Thanks. I'll tell Ladybug why you won't be there, she'll understand. Go behind the door there and put your hand out with the ring so I don't see your identity." He nodded before detransforming behind the door she gestured to. He slid the ring off and held it out to her. She picked it up using both hands (boy was it heavy for a small person) and carefully slipped it around her waist; it fitted like a glove. "I should get going, I'll see you later."

"I hope you know what you're doing." Realising just how much time she wasted trying to get the ring she had to cut their conversation short as she ed the action right on time. Past Ladybug had just been thrown out of the classroom. She mimed to all the other versions of herself as they prepared to put her plan into motion.

"Mullo. Plagg, unify!" As the two miraculous merged she felt her head get slightly dizzy but she ignored it, she had more important things to worry about. Just as past Ladybug was about to get hit the kwamis all zoomed and surrounded Kwami Buster. She crackled wickedly as one by one they were sucked in. Of course, she had no idea that a grinning Multimouse was inside.

Shouting cataclysm, she stepped away from Longg and placed her hand on the walls of the vacuum. She watched as the walls turned black as it started to crumble. She jumped back onto Longg and was flown to safety.

"Mullo. Plagg, divide!" Back to her normal mouse form she gave the ring to Plagg who made his way towards his owner.

Locating past Ladybug she spotted her de-evilising the akuma. Once the pure white butterfly flew away Multimouse returned to her normal size and approached the spotted bug to explain everything.

"All that just to protect our identity, wow. Must've had awful consequences if you went through all that trouble." The two versions of Marinette laughed as if they had been friends forever. Chat Noir finally made his way over to the duo and unintentionally started flirting with Multimouse. She rolled her eyes just as Bunnix's portal appeared to their side.

"You did it! I knew you would!" She jumped out of the portal and wrapped Multimouse in a tight hug. "Come on, we should get back before the future is affected anymore."

"Probably for the best." Multimouse glance at the duo and smiled. They really did make a great team. She saluted to the pair before retreating back to the correct time period. Once the portal disappeared Ladybug and Chat Noir looked at each other.

"So, now what?" They said simultaneously. Bursting into a fit of laughter they both decided to spend a bit more time together since they hadn't used their superpowers. They ended up stopping on a familiar roof and talked for hours until it got late.

Back in the present, Marinette placed the final borrowed miraculous into the miracle box as Master Fu closed the lid.

"I knew there was a reason I chose you Marinette."

"Thanks Master." She stood up and exited his shop; a smile spread on her face. She was mid conversation with Tikki when the familiar blue portal iliminated her vision once more.

"I hate to bother you in your civilian form Minibug but the past has been disturbed, again."

"Again? Ok, let's get this sorted." And once more she stepped through the blue glow and into the unknown...
