Elle is sent on an urgent trip to the 31st of December 1999, the eve of the new millennium, where Millennia is on the rampage. She aims to reinvent herself as a malevolent millennial by taking on Time itself. Can Millennia change the past to destroy the future? It can't be left to chance. It's up to Elle and The Infinites to save the world. And with the very nature of time at stake, they'll have unexpected help from friends in high places.

The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher. As the world braces itself for the dawn of the new millennium, a mysterious force threatens to tear it apart. Millennia, a powerful entity with the ability to manipulate time, has set its sights on destroying the future.

Elle, a young woman with a unique ability to manipulate time, is the only one who can stop Millennia. She is sent on an urgent trip to the 31st of December 1999, the eve of the new millennium, where she must face off against the malevolent millennial and prevent her from destroying the world.

Elle's journey is filled with danger and challenges, as she must navigate through a world that is rapidly changing. She encounters unexpected allies and enemies, and must use her skills to outwit Millennia and save the world from its impending doom.

As the clock strikes midnight, the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Will Elle be able to stop Millennia and save the world from its destruction? Or will the malevolent millennial succeed in her mission to tear the world apart? Only time will tell.
