“In this world, there’s countless possibilities, Many choices, all sorts of what if’s. Whether or not those what if’s are for better… or for worse…”
As this quote plays several scenes play. Ladybug and cat noir confronting hawkmoth in person and his recent akuma, scenes of them fighting and as cat noir gets a nearly close hit on HM a certain peacock shaped broach gets knocked out of his pocket (with no ones knowledge)
We follow the peacock miraculous fall towards the ground bumping different things along the way until it finally ends up hitting the ground of a dark alley. As the camera stays on the miraculous a foot steps onto the screen drenched in water and hidden in shadow.
after a moment, the person soon reaches out and grabs the miraculous in their hand.
later that night, after another defeat by ladybug and cat noir, HM soon learned that the peacock miraculous was now missing from his person. With panic and anger he returns to the same area where the fight originally occurred. And searched head to toe for the miraculous. From the roof to the alleys he searched, only for him to find nothing. He would soon come to the conclusion that someone must have found it. In his mind, he cursed that something precious to him would be in any random persons hands. Also, he was worried about how the repercussions of using it would affect said person.
with nothing else to do he soon departed to think about his next move about the miraculous. As he leaves, we enter the sewers underneath to show a figure in the dark wandering around in the sewers.
Days later, and some akuma later, this time HM decided to make an appearance as well with this akuma as they face off against the heroes. As the fight continues, unbenounced to anyone the water from the Seine river started to… drain.
As the fighting would continue, unbenounced to them slowly the river moved from all across the river and form at one point. It grows, and grows and grows as some of the citizens of Paris notice the giant forming water take shape.
The Akuma was soon defeated with HM at the edge of the building. He then begins to monologue to the heroes about how this wasn’t over and that he would prevail next time.
and as he was talking LB and CN began to slowly notice the looming figure slowly rise from the edge of the building. HM didn’t notice at first, until he began to notice the sudden shadow beginning to loom over the building.
As he turns, he is then greeted by an unexpected sight. A giant mass of water, formed in a humanoid feminine form. What appeared to be its head turned at the 3 on the roof.
Before anyone could act, without hesitation the water mound outstretched its arm and swung it across the roof. For a moment, the heroic duo were jumbled about as the water passed through them both. Both doing their best avoiding any debris in the water as it passes. Soon, both manage to get out of the water coughing and heaving for air after getting out. Both questioning what just happened as the giant water creature began to leave. As it gets a little further away, they notice something. Where was Hawkmoth?
As the water mound moves, in its hand is the as mentioned hawkmoth who was not happy. As it moves, Hawkmoth demands to be released and. Questions if this was made by the person now in possession of the peacock miraculous. Mid rant, the water mound responds by slowly moves its hand towards what would be its face.
HM, staring at the faceless mound, figured that whoever it was must be able to hear him at least. As he moved to speak more…
he paused, a voice from the water, distorted by the water, came from the mound itself.
???: I’ve waited… so long (soft yet bordering unhinged)
HM: so, you can hear me. Then let me be clear, return the Peacock to me, now!
There was silence, then a water tendril moved towards HM slowly.
HM: I don’t know who you are or what you wish to accomplish here…
The tip of the tendril slowly molds itself.
HM: but you have not the foggiest idea of what power you are playing with here!
The water molds slowly as it soon takes the form of a face.
HM: so hand over the miraculous! Or else….. I….
As soon as the tendril reached HM face what anger he had slowly began to die out. What was staring at him, was a face. At first, he had no idea what exactly it was, but as he slowly looked at it, the more he took in every detail he could make out from the water that made the face. His face slowly shifted… to one of absolute shock and horror. He recognized who it was.
???: So long…… so, so loooong…
HM: that’s… that’s not possible.
As HM was processing who this was, the face only stared at him its eyes fixated, unblinking, at him.
Before he could finish, he was then crushed in its grip.
???: I’ve waited… so long for this moment. This. Very. Moment.
The hand of water released its thumb from its fist.
HM: WAIT, listen to me! I know what this is about, and I promise you what happened that day was a complete acci-
Before he could finish, the mounds thumb slams down on top, completely emmercing his head in water.
???: no…. No more talking…. Right now, all that matters…. Is that you stop breathing.
However, as the mound he’d HM in its grip something pierced through the water and wrapped around him. Swiftly pulling him out of the water.
though it didn’t react at first the mound slowly turned its head towards the source of the interference. The 2 heroes standing against it. While HM is currently gasping for air behind them.
though they were enemies, they still tried to see if he was alright, but before they could.
they perked up as they noticed the voice coming from the water mound.
the 2 began questioning what exactly was happening.
???: HE’S MINE TO KILL!!! GET BACK HERE!!!!!
without any warning, the mound with great force swings its arm down onto the roof in an attempt to crush all 3 together.
what followed, was now a mission of survival. The heroes tried to find ANY way to stop the mound’s rampage, but after the fight with HM they would need to recharge their powers again. Time they didn’t have.
even HM was helping as well (though not directly with the 2 heroes). More so, he seemed to be less hands on, as if he was waiting for something to happen.
Soon, that something came. The mounds form was sagging, it looked like it was weakening and shrinking as water started to leave its body. Suddenly, with a shriek, the mound disbanded all the water falling down back into the Seine. As LB & CN watch as the water mound disappears into the Seine, they look to see that Hm as well managed to get away. Before they could look further they remembered their time was almost up due to the beeping from their miraculous. They decided for now, they needed to separate to recharge their miraculous. Deciding to reconvein later they night.
HM managed to return to his lair, and as he did and transformed back to Gabriel he then collapsed to one knee from fatigue. It was then that Natalie came to his side and asked if he was alright. He was silent for a moment, but then told her that the situation with the peacock miraculous was actually much worse than before.
that his greatest mistake/failure from the past has returned. And has become much worse. Natalie seemed to know what he was talking about as she looked shocked at the news.
In the darkness, coughing could be heard deep within the catacombs. As the scene goes through the halls it soon reaches a figure hunched over, hands on the ground as they coughed up blood. And a small figure hovering over them in concern.
???: oh no!! Are you alright!?
???: this is all my fault! I should have warned you about what making a Senti that big would do to your body!! I’m sorry!! I-
a hand pats the smaller creatures head.
the bigger figure slowly sits up not looking at the creature.
???: but still… you got hurt so bad because of it. Maybe we should go see the master or-
the figure stands up, their eyes looked rage filled as they continued staring forward.
???: there’s still… one more person who needs to suffer….
The scene then cuts to night, as we see a young blond girl entering the most popular hotel in Paris. Entering the elevator to head up towards her room at the top of the hotel building.
Soon, the start of her nightmare would begin.
