Marinette's Pov
The screen lit up and started playing a scene in my living room
Scene: The Dupain-Cheng family living room. Marinette uses with a French-to-Chinese translation app.
"Hey, which one is this?" Alix asked
"I think I know which one this is, but I'll have to keep watching just to me sure." Adrien commented
Marinette: You'll see Tikki, with this app, I'll say it just fine. (presses the microphone button on the app) Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette.
Translator App: Huānyíng lái dào wǒjiā. Wǒ de míngzì shì mǎlǐ nèi tè.
Marinette: (repeats after the translator app, pronounces the sentence wrong) No, that's not right. (repeats the translated statement and gets it correct)
"That wasn't bad, well done Mari." Adrien said smiling at me, I blushed
"Thanks, I know which one this in now."
Tikki: Good job Marinette!
Marinette: I'm so nervous! Do you think he'll like them? (Marinette grabs the flowers off the coffee table.)
Tikki: Well of course! They're fine!
Marinette: They can't be fine; they have to be perfect! My Mom's uncle is a super famous Chinese chef. He's very particular, so things have to be just right. (Doorbell rings.) That's him! Hide, Tikki. (Tikki hides. While going to the door, Marinette trips over the backing of her couch before opening it.)
Wang Cheng: Nǐ hǎo (Hello).
Marinette: Uh, welcome Mari you're at Nette's. Uh ah, welcome to Marinette's! You're Chinese! No, no, no, no! In Mandarin! (Marinette attempts to greet her Great Uncle in Chinese.) Ugh, no wait. (Marinette reaches for phone and hands Wang Cheng the flowers, who smells them.)
Marinette: (whisper shouts to the translator app on her phone) Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette. Ugh, this is so lame.
Translator App: Huānyíng lái dào wǒjiā. Wǒ de míngzì shì mǎlǐ nèi tè. È, zhè tài biéjiǎole. (app malfunctions and keeps repeating "Ugh, this is so lame!" until she closes the app and let her great uncle inside.)
"That app didn't seem to work." Rose commented
"What are you going to do now?" Kim asked
Marinette: (On the phone with Alya, whom she just dialled) Alya, you've gotta help me. I don't know what to do with my mom's uncle. You know, the one I told you about? Well, I don't think I can pull this off... (Cut to Alya, sitting on a park bench)
Alya: Chill out Marinette, I got the solution. Just hang tight. (She hangs up.)
Marinette: (To the dial tone) Thank you! You're amazing. What solution? Huh? Aw...
"What solution?" Nino asked, Alya just shrugged with a grin
"Watch and see." She responded, I sighed
Scene: The Dupain-Cheng family sofa. Marinette sits uncomfortably with Wang Cheng, awaiting Alya's help, when the doorbell rings, and Marinette runs to answer it.
Adrien: Hey Marinette!
"You got Adrien to go round?" Chloe asked, Alya shrugged
"Mari needed a translator and Adrien was the only one who came to mind, that I knew, who spoke Chinese." Alya responded
Marinette: ADRIEN!? What in the—uh—what are you—
Adrien: Alya called me. She said you needed someone who speaks Chinese. Well, here I am! Translator at your service. (he bows to her)
"Dude, why did you bow?" Alix asked, Adrien shrugged
"I was trying to be a gentleman." Adrien responded
"Are you sure your Cat Noir wasn't showing?" Tikki asked, I giggled, while Adrien chuckled
"Not in the slightest." He responded
Marinette: No! I mean, yes! Uh, where's Alya? (She receives a text from Alya confirming the situation.) Uh, hehe!
Scene: In the car on the way to the contest.
Adrien: Chèngshīfù, zhè shì nǐ dì yī cì lái bālí ma? (Master Cheng, is this the first time you've visited Paris?)
"How do we know what you are saying?" Sabrina asked
"Can we get some kind of translation?" Max asked
"Mari, you look rather bored sat in that car." Nino commented, I shrugged
"I had no idea what they were talking about, so I couldn't really contribute to the conversation."
"Adrien, can you translate for us?" Nino asked and Adrien nodded
"I asked 'Master Cheng, is this the first time you've visited Paris?'" Adrien translated
Wang Cheng: Bù, dàn wǒ shàng cì fǎngwèn 30 nián qián. Nǐ jiǎng wánměi de zhōngwén. (No, but I last visited 30 years ago. You speak perfect Chinese.)
"No, I have been here 30 years ago, you can speak Chinese Fluently."
Adrien: Xièxiè, Chéngsīfú. (bows) (Thanks, Master Cheng)
"Thanks, Master Cheng."
"Is that all the Chinese we have in this episode?" Myléne asked, I shook my head
"I don't think so."
Wang Cheng: Oh, my English very bad. Not like your Chinese.
"I thought he couldn't speak English?" Alya asked
"That's what we thought too."
Adrien: I thought you couldn't speak English.
Marinette: Uh, me too.
Wang Cheng: Oh, no, not good. My English not good.
(Marinette giggles.)
Scene: Outside the Le Grand Paris. "The World's Greatest Chef's" logo flashes.
Alec: Since our "World's Greatest Chef" contest kicked off, the best culinary masters from around the globe have been blowing our minds with their gastronomic creations.
André: Cheng Shifu, I am delighted and honored to have you on our final show, where you will have the chance to defeat all of the chefs who have competed thus far.
(Wang Cheng smiles, and he, Marinette, and Adrien walk into Le Grand Paris.)
Alec: Only one will be awarded the title of "World's Greatest Chef." The winner's dish will become the new Mayor's Special on the Grand Paris's Restaurant menu! (Camera switches to inside the hotel) Tell us Cheng Shifu, what dish will you be honouring our panel with today? (Adrien translates the question for Wang Cheng)
"What did you say there?" Kim asked
"I repeated the question to him in Chinese, his English wasn't the best." Adrien responded
"He understood some English, but I'm glad Adrien was there to help him out." He smiled at me and I gave him a smile back
Wang Cheng: My dish is: Celestial soup.
Alec: Wow! I've heard so much about your legendary Celestial Soup, but today we'll actually get to taste it! (Television broadcast ends)
Adrien: Would you like me to come with you, Cheng Shifu?
Wang Cheng: No thank you Adrien. Cooking needs no words. (Alec leads him off)
"I never thought about it that way before." Alya commented
"It was nice of you to offer though." Nino commented, looked at Adrien, who shrugged
"It was better that he had someone who could help him communicate, rather than him struggle on his own." Adrien responded
Marinette: Thanks, Adrien. I'm totally sorry for bothering you for nothing. I really thought he couldn't speak English.
Adrien: No problem Marinette. It was awesome to be able to practice my Chinese, especially with a Shifu.
Marinette: A Shifu?
Adrien: That means "Master" in Chinese. Your Mom's Uncle is a great master!
"Learn something new every day." Rose says, I nod in agreement
"Definitely."
"Adrien, how difficult is it to learn a new language?" Nathaniel asked, Adrien thought for a moment
"It take a lot of hard work and dedication, but as long as you out your mind to it and stick with it, I'm sure anyone would be able to accomplish it." Adrien responded
Chloé: (Marinette smiles before being startled by Chloé's voice) Oh look who it is! My favourite person, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I mean, seriously? Does your uncle really expect to win the contest with a SOUP!? It's not even a main dish! Please! Doesn't he know how to make sushi like everyone else?
"How do you not know the difference between Chinese and Japanese?" Max asked Chloe
"In my defence, I don't pay that much attention to the different languages." Chloe responded
(Marinette and Adrien are mad at Chloé)
Adrien: Japanese people make sushi, Chloé. Cheng Shifu is Chinese!
(Marinette and Adrien continue to be angry at Chloé)
Marinette: Besides, he's not like "everyone else". My Great Uncle is the best chef in the world. His soup is legendary!
"Go Mari!" Alix yelled, I blushed
(Marinette and Adrien are still mad at Chloé)
Chloé: Well, I despise soup.
Marinette: So, what?
Chloé: Didn't you know? I'm on the jury. Your uncle will not be getting my vote, for sure.
Marinette: Oh yeah? Well, he doesn't need your vote to win! There are other judges with much better taste than yours.
"Oh, burn." Kim commented
Chloé: Ugh!
Marinette: Huh, silly me, you don't have any taste! I mean, look at what you're wearing.
"You go girl." Alya said, grinning at me, I shrugged
"Don't forget, that it's me your insulting." Choe huffed, I rolled my eyes
"She's not really insulting you Chloe, Mari's defending her uncle." Adrien responded to her, I glanced up to see Adrien rolling his own eyes
Chloé: Ew! Don't talk about me like that. (She walks to the stairs angrily) You've made a big mistake.
Adrien: (He is proud of Marinette because she stood up for her uncle) Wow, you really stood up for Cheng Shifu. He would've appreciated that.
"He sure would." Tikki said sending me a smile, I smiled back
"Thanks, Tikki."
Marinette: I'm not sure. I don't think he likes me.
"Aw Mari." Rose says sadly, Adrien squeezed my hand again, before leaning over to whisper into my ear
"You were wrong, he likes you very much." I turn my head to look at him, I then lent in and gave him a peck on the cheek
"Thank you, Adrien." He smiled at me and placed a kiss on the back of my hand
"Any time, My lady."
Adrien: Oh no, you're wrong.
Marinette: No, I swear! He even ripped up the bouquet I gave him.
"Now I understand why he did that, it makes sense to me now." Adrien glanced at me with a smile
Adrien: Cheng Shifu isn't just a chef, Marinette - he's an artist! He told me he was gonna put flowers in his Celestial Soup. He said he improvises on faithful things that come his way. The flowers he mentioned must be the ones you gave him!
Marinette: So... you think he actually likes me?
Adrien: (He put his hands on Marinette's shoulders) Totally! He's shown you great respect in his own special way. (Marinette sighs happily.)
"His own special way? How do you know?" Myléne asked, I shrugged
"Maybe we'll see." Adrien answered
Scene: Le Grand Paris kitchen. Wang Cheng cooks his soup.
Chloé: (Peering in from the hallway) Mr. Cheng, Marinette's looking for you outside. (Wang Cheng exits.) Let's see of the other judges enjoy your uncle's soup after this, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. (She looks a bottle) Hmm? Hmph. (Chloé then stirs her concoction up and puts the lid back on.)
"Chloe, you did that just because Marinette defended her uncle?" Adrien demanded rising to his feet and turning to look at her
"It's in the past, its all forgotten now." Chloe responded, I turned in my seat to look back at her
"Don't you get it Chloe? Every episode we watch is us looking back at all our adventures, not just as Me and Adrien as Ladybug and Cat Noir, but as a class and as friends." She glared at me
"You and I will never be friends Dupain-Cheng." Chloe responded, I shrugged
"That doesn't matter to me Chloe, but you can't throw a fit every time you don't get your own way."
"Marinette's right, you could have seriously hurt someone with what you added to Master Cheng's soup." Adrien growled, then Tikki and Plagg flew up in front of Adrien
"Look Kid, no-one got hurt." Plagg said
"That's not the point Plagg." Adrien responded
"We know that Adrien, but Chloe is right, this is the past, we should focus on what we are watching and learn from the past, and apply it to our future." Tikki said, I sighed and took a hold of Adrien's hand
"Adrien, Tikki's right, please sit back down." He gave Chloe a hard glare, before finally turning and sitting back down in his seat and grasping my hand firmly in his. Tikki and Plagg returned to their seats and shot me a concerned look, I nodded and gave them a small smile.
Wang Cheng: Marinette wasn't there—
Chloé: No speak Japanese. See ya. (exits)
"He was speaking English that time." Max commented
Scene: Le Grand Paris dining hall. "The World's Greatest Chef" is being filmed.
Alec: As usual, our panel of gourmets is made up of André Bourgeois, the mayor of Paris and owner of this luxury hotel, his daughter Chloé, representing the younger generation, hot Rockstar Jagged Stone and his killer crocodile Fang, and finally, the divine head chef of this very hotel, Marlena Césaire, and yours truly - Alec! ("The World's Greatest Chef" logo flashes) It's time to determine the fate of Cheng Shifu's famous Celestial Soup. Let's get tasting!(The entire jury besides Chloé who just twirls her spoon inside the soup.)
Alec: (Spitting out the soup) What IS this!? (Wang Cheng, Adrien, and Marinette gasp.)
Mayor Bourgeois: Uh, I don't think this soup would fare well with our guests! I'll give it a 3/10.
Chloé: Seeing as it's pretty unappetizing, maybe I'll pass on the tasting, but I'll still give it a zero!
Jagged Stone: Ech! It's like kissing a member from the Zombeats! Negative zero.
Marlena: I'm sorry, but it's inedible. I give it 1/10.
Wang Cheng: Uh... I... (Adrien and Marinette feel sorry for Wang Cheng Sifu) (He walks to Chloé's soup, tastes it, then spits it out) Uch! I don't understand, I never put these ingredients in. It's a mistake. Someone sabotaged soup!
"Awe, I feel bad for him." Rose says sadly
"Yeah, I mean he was only trying to make his famous soup!" Alix yelled
"Why did you have to go and ruin it Chloe?" Kim asked, we all turned to look at Chloe, who huffed and folded her arms
"Well obviously, I had to give Marinette some payback, no one speaks to me like that!" Chloe responded, I shook my head and turned back to watch the screen
(Marlena and Jagged Stone look at each other worriedly while Chloé smiles smugly.)
Alec: I'm sorry, Cheng Shifu, but I'm giving you a zero, too, which brings your score to 0.8/10 - the lowest so far. Celestial Soup will therefore not be in the hotel's menu this year, and you will not be named "World's Greatest Chef"! (Adrien and Marinette are still feeling sorry for Wang Cheng Sifu) (The "World's Greatest Chef" logo flashes, and Marinette notices a flower petal fall from Chloé when she gets up)
"He should be given a second chance." Alya demanded
"But there was no proof that the soup was actually sabotaged, therefore there is no reason to give him a second chance." Max explained, I nodded
"But-"
"Don't worry Alya, it all works out in the end." Adrien interrupted her, she gives him a long look before nodding and turning back to look at the screen
Marinette: This isn't right, and I'm certain Chloé's got something to do with it.
Adrien: I'd like to say you're wrong, but I know her only too well.
"Hey! How could you say something like that about me Adri-kins?!" Chloe demanded, Adrien shook his head
"Because I know you all too well Chloe, when you don't get your own way, or someone does something you don't like, you try to humiliate and get them back anyway you possibly can." Adrien responded
"But-"
"Don't try to deny it Chloe, because you know it's true, it's the one thing I've always disliked about you, we grew up together Chloe, I wish you would be nicer, because I know you can be." Adrien said, stunning Chloe into silence
Marinette: (Walked over to Wang Cheng and lays a hand on his shoulder) Uncle Cheng? I'm sure it's not your fault. In fact, I know it's not. I'm pretty sure Chloé's behind this. It was actually because of me. I provoked her, and—
Wang Cheng: Shame is on Celestial Soup. I shall never be "World's Greatest Chef"! (Wang Cheng turns and walks out of the room)
Marinette: No! Uncle Cheng!
Adrien: It's horrible to lose face in China. We'll wait for him downstairs.
"That's probably a good idea." Rose commented
(Adrien walks to Marinette to comfort her and he puts his hand on her shoulder and they walked downstairs together while they are feeling down)
Marinette: Mhm. (Cut to Wang Cheng standing sadly over his soup pot.)
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: (His window opens) A great artist was wronged today. I can feel it. I can hear his heart screaming for revenge. (He readies an akuma.) Fly away my little akuma, and evilize him! Victory never tasted so good! Mwahahahaha!
Scene: Kitchen.
Wang Cheng: (Noticing a bottle of olive oil) Marinette was right. It was evil act by that brat! No respect for Cheng Shifu! (The akuma arrives and enters his hat.)
"How does he get all that by spotting a bottle of Olive oil?" Nino asked, I shrugged
"I'm not sure." Adrien responded
Hawk Moth: Kung Food, I am Hawk Moth. Those who tasted your soup will become your servants. Everyone who wronged you will pay dearly.
Wang Cheng: I will show I am greatest chef in the world! (He turns into Kung Food.)
Scene: Le Grand Paris dining hall. Alec is the middle of filming a segment when the jury (besides Chloé) gets a stomach-ache.
Alec: Oooh, uhh...
Jagged Stone: Ohhh, my guts are killing me. (He bangs the table) Nrgg!
Mayor Bourgeois: (Holding his stomach) I'm feeling quite uncomfortable...
"What's happening?" Kim asked
"Maybe we'll find out if we keep watching?" Alix suggested
Kung Food: Bahahaha! You have eaten my soup, you become my servants! Nyehehahaha! (Everyone who ate the Celestial Soup's eyes turn orange, and they stand up.)
Alec: At your command, master.
Kung Food: (Pointing to Chloé) Grab the girl. (The possessed people creep towards Chloé)
Chloé: (On her phone) Yeah, well, I was wondering if you would like to come— (She notices the people crowding around her) Uh wh—w-wait! Calm down now. I'm Mayor Bourgeois' daughter, remember? Ugh! Daddy!? (Mayor Bourgeois grabs Chloé)
"So, all who ate the soup, fell under the control of Kung Food?" Myléne asked, I nodded
"Pretty much."
Kung Food: Kung Food will make new soup called Brat Soup!
"I like the sound of that soup; do you think he'll add cheese to it?" Plagg asked, I giggled
"That's not funny Dupain- Cheng, your so-called uncle is about to turn me into soup!" Chloe yelled
"But it all got sorted in the end, and My kid and the princess sorted it all out, join in with the laughter." Plagg responded, I sighed
"Plagg, it's fine, really." Plagg shook his head and looked at me
"She shouldn't be allowed to treat you like that, especially after everything you've done for her, for this city, you're a hero, she should have some respect for you." Plagg huffed, I gave him a small smile
"He's right, you are a hero, and no matter if you have a mask or not, you go out of your way to help us, even Chloe, even if you two don't get a long all that much." Sabrina said, I turned to look at her and gave her a smile
Chloé: (Struggling) But I don't like soup!
Kung Food: Eheheheh... (cut to Hawk Moth in his lair)
Hawk Moth: Haha! Perfect! It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show up to meet their doom! Mwahahaha!
"Does He always have to say that?" Kim asked, I shrugged
"He seems to say it a lot."
"Nooroo, Oh, I hope he's alright." Tikki sighed
"Don't worry sugar cube, we'll bring him home, don't you worry." Plagg responded
Scene: Le Grand Paris lobby.
Cameraman: (Running) Get out! Hurry! Get out while you still can!
Kung Food: (from a projector) Not polite to leave table without permission. Cut off all exits!(Adrien is angry and Marinette is worried at this situation)) (Kung Food's henchmen pour vats of caramel down the sides of the hotel.)
"What is that?" Alix asked
"It looks like some kind of Caramel?" Max asked
Adrien: (Trying to push the door open) Eh! (He bends down and sticks his finger in the liquid)
Marinette: What's that?
Adrien: Caramel? (dips finger on it and tastes it) Mmm. It might taste good but it's totally indestructible. Looks like we're trapped inside.
"Hey, Max was right." Kim said
Marinette: My Great Uncle is still upstairs!
Adrien: Don't worry, I'll find him. (Scratches back of his head and then runs for the stairs)
"That's a convenient way to split up, the boy runs a looks for danger." Alya commented, I giggled while Adrien chuckled
"Well, at this point we didn't know each other's identities, and it was easier to make an excuse about looking for help and then coming back as Cat Noir or LadyBug and claiming they've gotten out alter egos to safety." Adrien explained
"That makes sense." Nathaniel commented
Marinette: Thanks. I'll... look for a way out of here...
Kung Food: (From projector) You want to taste Kung Food's soup. Everybody become my servants, and Kung Food become "World's Greatest Chef"! Hahahaha!
Marinette: Uncle? (Switch to Le Grand Paris rooftop pool, where Henchmen add ingredients and stir the giant soup while Chloé hangs over it.)
"Took you long enough to recognise him." Chloe huffed
"You're the one who got him akumatized, besides when your running in terror you don't really take a close look to see if you can recognise the akumatized person." Alix said
Scene: Le Grand Paris hallway.
Marinette: (Runs and hides behind a pillar, out of the view of a projector) I never should have riled up Chloé! I've gotta save my Uncle!
Tikki: You'll do it Marinette! I'm sure you will!
"You always save the day." Nino said
Marinette: Mhm mhm!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
"I will never get tired of your transformation sequence Mari." Alya commented, I shrugged,
"Just wait until you see our other transformations."
"You have different transformations?"Alix asked, Adrien nodded
"What kind?" Nino asked
"You'll have to wait and see."
(Switch to Adrien in a staircase within Le Grand Paris)
Adrien: Time to transform!
Plagg: You didn't happen to pick up a little piece of Camembert during all this cooking chaos, did you?
Adrien: Cheese after the main meal.
[Transformation Sequence]
"You're transformation is super cool too Adrien." Alya commented, Adrien chuckled
"Thanks for not leaving me out Alya." He responded and she nodded
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
Scene: Le Grand Paris lobby.
(Both flip and land in the lobby of the hotel)
Ladybug: Cat Noir?
"What a coincidence, that you both did that move and landed in the same spot." Rose commented, Adrien chuckled
"An even bigger coincidence, is that your both in the hotel after all the exits were sealed off, which can only mean you were both in the hotel before the exits were closed." Kim commented, I giggled which the rest of the class let out a few chuckles or giggles.
"Alright guys, we both know each other's identities now, so, we know that we were right under each other's noses." Adrien said
Cat Noir: Ladybug! I don't know about you, m'lady, but I'm a bit hungry.
"You actually looked a bit shocked that I was there, I never noticed before." Adrien glanced at me
"Well, I wasn't expecting you, can you blame me?" Adrien asked, I shrugged
"You do have a habit of getting into situations that don't really go your way." He placed a hand to his chest and put a mock hurt look on his face
"My Lady, you wound me." I shrugged
"You've got to admit it's true." He shrugged
"I guess so."
Ladybug: Let's go eat then. Shall we?
Kung Food: (Switch to Kung Food watching the duo from the pool area) Who are those two?
Hawk Moth: (From his lair) They are Ladybug and Cat Noir. They've come to stop you from completing your soup. You must add them to your recipe!
Kung Food: Surprise ingredients? Hah! Delicious! (He points to Jagged Stone) You! Go capture them!
Jagged Stone: Yes, Master Kung Food. (He runs off)
Kung Food: Brat Soup even more powerful with superhero flavour.
Chloé: I will not eat your soup!
"I hate soup!" Chloe yelled
"You've said." Nathaniel said
Kung Food: Foolish girl. You are not eating soup, you ARE soup!
Chloé: Someone help! Let me down!
Kung Food: Don't worry, you will be let down soon enough. Hahahaha!
Scene: Le Grand Paris lobby.
Cat Noir: (Trying the elevator) Ugh! It's jammed!
Kung Food: (from a projector) Ladybug! Cat Noir! You soon have privilege to be ingredients in Kung Food's soup. But first — you taste my special of the day! (The elevator door opens)
Jagged Stone: Seafood appetizers.
Ladybug: Jagged Stone!
Cat Noir: Seafood? This scampi happening. Let's see if you can carry a tuna!
"You punned at him? Really, you didn't prepare for an attack at all." Nino asked, Adrien shrugged.
Ladybug: Look out! (They jump backwards after Jagged Stone swings at them)
Cat Noir: That's not very "rock and roll" of you, Jagged Stone.
Jagged Stone: Rock is one thing, soup is another. When I'm done with you, you'll be nothing but minced meat!
"That would have been so much better of it had rhymed." Adrien mused, I rolled my eyes
(They fight, and Jagged Stone gets thrown into the closet and Ladybug pushes a chair underneath the handle to stop it from opening.)
Cat Noir: (To Ladybug) Good job. (They fist bump.)
Ladybug: There's no time to lose! Chloé might just be the main dish! And we better not wait to find out!
"Ah, you do care about me." Chloe said, I sighed and turned to look at her
"As much as we don't get along Chloe, I would never leave anyone behind, especially if I can help it, if I can help them I will, I make mistakes, we all do, but I have never abandoned anyone." Adrien placed a hand on my shoulder
"It's okay, Lila is angry at the world." Adrien whispered and I turned to look at him
"I tried." He nodded
"I know."
Jagged Stone: (From the closet) Ugh, get me outta here! Come on, then!
Scene: Le Grand Paris pool deck. Chloé hangs over it.
Kung Food: The soup is going to be Kung Food's masterpiece!
Chloé: Do you have to tie me up above this foul-smelling liquid! My designer clothes are going to stink of grease!
Kung Food: Soup not greasy at all! Kung Food soup very well-balanced. Hahahaha! (A projector then displays Jagged Stone, locked in the closet.)
"Those Sushi roll projector things are kinda cool." Alya commented
Jagged Stone: Get me out of here! Come on!
Kung Food: Bad sous chef. (He sees Ladybug and Cat Noir enter the elevator, and then points to Mayor Bourgeois) You! Do me justice!
Mayor Bourgeois: Yes, Master. Phew!
Scene: The Elevator.
Cat Noir: Ladybug, come on. It's just you and me together. We could go places.
"But you've got nowhere to go except up." Kim said
Ladybug: Uh, yeah. Like up.
Cat Noir: Exactly! We've got nowhere to go but up! (The elevator short circuits.)
Ladybug & Cat Noir: Wahhh!
Ladybug: You spoke too soon!
Cat Noir: (He tries the buttons and fails.) I think the electricity between us short-circuited the elevator.
"You wish." Alya commented
Ladybug: You wish. More like us getting ourselves into a sticky situation. (The elevator door opens.)
"Hey, I can't believe you totally called that." Nino said
Mayor Bourgeois: Royal hotpot with its giant string of smoked sausages! (He swings it around.)
Ladybug: Looks like a food fight is coming our way.
Cat Noir: I prefer my sausages with mashed potatoes.
"You didn't pun that time." Nino commented
"That's disappointing, I was expecting a pun." Alix commented, I giggled
"Seems I can't please everybody." Adrien mused, I rolled my eyes
(They fight, and Mayor Bourgeois flings the heroes into a hotel suite.)
Mayor Bourgeois: Welcome to the world-famous Suite 36 of this hotel.
Ladybug: If we're not careful, we'll be the mashed potatoes!
Mayor Bourgeois: You're no competition, Ladybug. (He charges them, and Cat Noir gets captured.)
"I can't believe he said that you were no competition! You're the only thing, standing between Hawkmoth and him taking over Paris." Kim said
"Not that he hasn't tried to do that." Adrien muttered, I grinned
"But as long as you two keep stopping him, he wont ever win, you just need to trust each other." Tikki said
Hawk Moth: (From his lair) Time to pick up the bill, Kung Food. Grab Cat Noir's Miraculous. His ring. Bring it to me! Do it now!
"He's so demanding, why do people listen to him?" Myléne asked
"Because he can be so persuasive, he plays into what people want in the time of their angry, to be recognised, to be heard, to get revenge on those that have wronged them." Plagg responded
"Nooroo, was never meant to be used like this." Tikki sighed
"What do you mean?" Nino asked
"The miraculous are a thing of good, they're very powerful and helpful when used in the correct way, but when placed into the wrong hands it can be used as a thing of bad, Nooroo is another kwami, who was lost to us, the day the temple was lost." Tikki explained
"What temple?" Alya asked
"The one where all great guardians are trained, the guardians of the Miraculous, they know all of our secrets and spend their lives protecting us and choosing the right people we belong with." Tikki answered
"Like Marinette and Adrien." Kim said
"Exactly, they were both handpicked by the guardian, they are the chosen ones." Tikki said
Ladybug: You've got the wrong superhero, Bourgeois! I bet you don't know how to do this. (She does a move with her yo-yo.)
Mayor Bourgeois: Really, Ladybug? (He copies the move, but gets his weapon caught in the chandelier. It falls and his weapon traps him.)
"That was very clever." Max commented
Cat Noir: Nice work, my lady. Shall we go and find the head chef?
Kung Food: (watching from a projector) Pea-brain! Useless! My recipe not perfect without those two! (He points to Marlena and Alec) Capture them, and don't mess up or you'll end up in soup, too!
"I rather like how he's threatening everyone to put then in the soup, it seems effective." Nathaniel commented
"Effective! There's nothing effective about threatening people with soup!" Chloe yelled, I sighed, while Adrien shook his head
"Doesn't that girl have an off switch?" Plagg asked
"Plagg! If you're going to say things like that, at least say them where they cant hear you." Tikki insisted, I heard Adrien chuckle, while I rolled my eyes
Alec & Marlena: Yes, master. (They run off.)
Chloé: My hair is ruined! Do you know how long it took to style it this morning?
Kung Food: It won't be a problem soon.
Chloé: Ladybug, help me!
Kung Food: Ehehehehe!
Scene: Le Grand Paris dining hall.
Ladybug: We're almost there.
Cat Noir: Great. All this fighting has made me hungry!
Kung Food: (from a projector) Kung Food is generous. No need to choose between cheese and dessert, you get to have both! (The elevator bell rings.)
Alec: Watch the spectacular demonstration of the famous thousand flying cakes! (Marlena charges the heroes.) Oh ho! Our guests seem to have a few tricks up their sleeve, but how will they fare against the blinding stinging cheese bombs! (He shoots)
Cat Noir: Ow, he's right. The cheese really does sting your eyes.
(They fight, and Ladybug & Cat Noir win.)
Ladybug: I think it's about time we got to the second course. (They take the elevator to Kung Food.)
"That looked like some sticky cheese." Nino said
"From what I can remember it was." Adrien responded
"Ah, my favourite kind." Plagg said
Scene: The Le Grand Paris rooftop pool. Chloé hangs over worriedly.
Kung Food: Ah, temperature's just right. Time to add main ingredient!
Chloé: (She begins to be reeled into the soup) Oh, no no no no noooo! Ah! (Cat Noir's staff cuts the rope, and Ladybug catches Chloé) Ladybug, what took you so long!? Just wait until I tell everyone—
Ladybug: (She drops Chloé) Oops.
"You did that on purpose." Chloe huffed, I shrugged
"My arms were tired, spinning that yo-yo takes so much effort and strength." Adrien chuckled
"Liar." Choe pouted
Kung Food: Oh no! My Brat Soup will be so flavourless.
Ladybug: I know you're more honourable than this, Cheng Shifu!
Kung Food: I am not Cheng Shifu, I am Kung Food — the Greatest Chef in the World! And nobody will stop me from finishing my Brat Soup! (He pulls out a weapon.)
Ladybug: Get back Chloé! (Chloé runs off and the heroes charge Kung Food.)
"Look, I even had to safe myself, that is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous." Chloe stated
"Ladybug told you to get back so they could fight Kung Food, you didn't save yourself, otherwise, you would have been able to get yourself out of the situation you were in." Alix responded
Kung Food: I take care of you two myself! (They fight.)
Ladybug: Cat Noir! The akuma must be in his chef's hat! Try to grab it!
Cat Noir: (Gets hit with powder) Ow! It burns!
"What was that?" Rose asked
"Some kind of spice." Adrien responded
Kung Food: Haha! Like it spicy?
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (A check dispenser appears.) A... check?
Cat Noir: And I think it's gonna be a steep one.
"Hey, the puns are back." Nino commented
"You think they actually went away Nino?"
"Hey, My Lady, that stings a little." Adrien commented, I giggled
"I'm sure you'll get over it." He grinned and leant closer
"Kiss to make it better?" I blushed
"Maybe later Kitty."
"But it hurts now Milady."
"Will you two stop being so sappy?" Chloe demanded, I huffed and pressed a kiss to his cheek
"Better?" he shrugged
"The mood was cut, but thanks for the kiss." He said sitting back, I smiled
Kung Food (Pulls out a Pizza Sword) You think you can beat me with a piece of paper!?
Cat Noir: You're one to talk, Kung Food. You've been trying to defeat us with sausages and cheese! Without any luck, I might add.
Kung Food: Grr! (He swings at them.)
(Ladybug jumps on top of the sword and runs closer to Kung food, only to be flipped off the sword, she flew across the rooftop and landed into a deck chair. Ladybug jumps back to where she was previously standing and ducks out of the way as Kung Food takes a swing at Cat Noir)
(Ladybug uses her lucky vision and it highlights the soup and the check, she then gets an idea and dips some of the check paper into the soup, she then swings the check around about her head and wraps it around Kung Food, who is about to take a swing at Cat Noir. She captures Kung Food.)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, all his weapons come from his bag. Destroy it.
"Smart move." Kim says
"Cut him off from his weapons, leaving him defenceless, a very good move indeed." Max says
Cat Noir: Got it. Cataclysm! (Cat Noir runs past Kung Food destroying the bag, and knocking Kung Food over, with the bag destroyed the Pizza sword disappears. Ladybug picks up his fallen hat, and, ripping it, lets out the akuma.)
Ladybug: Your days are over little akuma! (She opens the yo-yo.) Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (Everything is restored.)
Hawk Moth: (From his lair) This evil dinner was almost perfect. Revenge is a dish that is best served cold, so watch yourself — I'll be ready to strike again!
"That doesn't sound too promising." Juleka comments, I shrugged
"But we're always ready." Adrien responds
Scene: Le Grand Paris kitchen. Wang Cheng cooks up the new batch of Celestial Soup and Marinette brings him flowers.
Marinette: Could you teach me how to make Celestial Soup, Cheng Shifu?
Wang Cheng: With pleasure, Marinette. (he takes the bouquet.)
Adrien: Cooking needs no words.
"Indeed, it does not." Alya says
Chloé: (from behind Adrien and he is surprised) Seriously? Still making soup. I told you I hate soup! You think the jury is going to approve of this?
(Adrien is mad at Chloé for her comment about soup)
Adrien: Didn't your father kick you off the jury?
(He is irritated at Chloé)
Chloé: No, he didn't! I... er... I... resigned.
Adrien: I think Cheng Shifu and Marinette have got this covered. Why don't we let the real jury decide?
Chloé: Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!
(When Chloé leaves the kitchen, Adrien scratches his head while he sighs)
"Way to stand up to Chloe, I always knew you could do it." Nino commented, Adrien chuckled
Adrien: Ahahaha... (switch to "The World's Greatest Chef" on air)
Alec: Cheng Shifu's delicious Celestial Soup has received the highest marks overall, making you the final winner! (Adrien and Marinette looked at each other and they gave an applause)
Mayor Bourgeois: (Tasting the soup) Ah, and it will soon be the Mayor's Special on the restaurant menu of my prestigious hotel!
Jagged Stone: Rock n' Roll! I can't wait to get home and write a song about soup!
(Wang Cheng bows to the judges)
Wang Cheng: Thank you, but no longer Celestial Soup. Now called: Marinette Soup.
"He named he soup after you?" Alya asked, I nodded
"That's so cute." Rose gushes
"You have an awesome Uncle Mari." Kim commented, I grin
"Thanks, you guys."
(Adrien is happy at Marinette because her uncle renamed the Celestial Soup to Marinette Soup)
Marinette: Huh? 谢谢 (Thank you)!
"What did you say?" Nathaniel asked
"I said thank you." "She said thank you." Adrien and I both said at the same time, I giggled
Wang Cheng: You're welcome.
Alec: (To Marinette) Come over here and stand alongside your uncle, the "World's Greatest Chef"! (Adrien happily tells Marinette to go to her uncle) (Then Marinette and Wang Cheng both hug.)
( The episode ends with Adrien, Marinette and her uncle eating the soup.)
I looked up at Adrien
"Did I even thank you for helping me that day?" Adrien thought for a minute
"I think you might have done, but it was so long ago, I don't remember." He grinned, I smiled
"Well, I really did appreciate the help, even though Alya was underhanded about it."
"Hey girl, don't put this on me, you asked for help, and I got you some help." Alya responded, I laughed.
