sorry about the 3 day wait folks. but on the good side, this is a whole episode chapter. Since splitting it into 4 parts would be annpying and conufaing as origins is ALREADY split into 2 parts, making them two seperate episodes made more sense.

Omg and also, everyone is watching the livestream today right? It's at 1:30 today on youtube, and they're going to be releasing spoilers and a scene script or something! I AM SOOO EXCITEDD! :D I'm going to my BFF's house to watch it together and even though it's in a different language I can't wait! Tell me what you guys think if you watch it.

if you don't keep up with this stuff..then that's fine, most people don't. ;) Here's how you find it if you are interested: Search up "Mundo Miraculous Especial" on youtube and you should see a live event that says it's gonna happen in a few hours.

if you miss it, then no worries it gets recorded so you can go check it out later. (if ya want to..)

anyways, can't wait to watch it..have this whole episode chapter as celebration! :D :D

Origins Part 1

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.


Nooroo: Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were... the Miraculous. Throughout history, heroes have used these jewels for the good of the human race. Two of these Miraculous are more powerful than the others; the earrings of the Ladybug, which provide the power of creation; and the ring of the Black Cat, which grants the power of destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both these jewels at the same time, will achieve absolute power.

"Woah, that's awesome!" Alya's eyes widened. She pulled out her phone, but Marinette snatched it away from her.

She glared daggers at Alya. "No recording!"

Alya sighed. "Right.."

Gabriel: I want that absolute power, Nooroo. I must have those Miraculous! (Looks down at a locket)

Nooroo: But nobody knows where these Miraculous are!

Adrien's eyes widened and his blood went cold. "Marinette, r-rewind it," he told her, his voice shaking. Marinette glanced at him worriedly.

"Adrien, are you alright?" Marinette placed a hand on his shoulder. "You don't look too good."

Adrien shook his head, pale. "Just..just rewind it."

"I can't..remember Abby won't let us fast forward or rewind?" Marinette reminded him.

"Oopsie!" Abby scratched her chin. "Yeah, I think I'll just sit here and watch this with you guys since i can rewind it."

Abby plopped down in an empty seat and rewinded the episode.

Adrien stiffened. "Right there! Pause it."

Marinette paused the episode, confused for a second. Then she gasped.

"The face on the brooch," Adrien's voice trembled. "That's my..my mother."

The entire theater went silent.

"Why would Hawkmoth have a picture of your mother?" Alya asked quietly, after a minute of silence.

"Because," He tried to say. "Because-" But his mouth wouldn't say the words.

"No," Marinette interrupted him. She covered her hand with his and whispered in his ear, "Not now. Not here, we need to talk later."

Adrien nodded, swallowing.

Then, realization began to dawn on everyone in the theater.

"Why would Hawkmoth have a picture of her?"

"Do you think he has a crush?"

"What if Hawkmoth is Adrien's-"

"Guys," Marinette said loudly. "Hawkmoth could have just had her picture because-"

That's when she noticed how pale Adrien had become. He was looking down as his knees.

"Um, you okay?" Abby raised her eyebrows.

"I-yeah. Do you-Do you know where the bathroom is? I really need to go.."

Abby pointed towards the exit. "First door on your right."

Adrien nodded and walked out quietly. Marinette frowned. That wasn't even a good excuse.

"Let's continue."

Gabriel: I found you though, my little Nooroo. Your Miraculous... remind me of its powers again.

Nooroo: The Moth Brooch allows you to give someone their own superpowers and to make that person your devoted follower!

Gabriel: And when it comes to luring superheroes, what could be better than creating supervillains?

Nooroo: But master, the Miraculous are not meant to be used for evil purposes!

Gabriel: I must have this absolute power! (Pointing at Nooroo) Your Miraculous is in my control! I am your master now, and you must obey me.

Nooroo: (sadly) Yes, master.

"Poor little kwamii," Rose whimpered. "Hawkmoth is such a bully!"

Tikki and Plagg were staring at the screen intently. They exchanged worried glances and started stalking in hushed tones.

Gabriel: (puts on the brooch) Nooroo, dark wings! Rise! (transforms into Hawk Moth) From this day on, I shall be known as... Hawk Moth! (laughs evilly)

Marinette frowned. It just seemed..so familiar.


Scene: Fu's massage shop. Wayzz wakes up and senses something is wrong.


Wayzz: Master, Master! (customer hears Wayzz, looks up)

Wang Fu: Master, master... chanting, it's all part of the treatment. Master, master... (begins pushing customer out door) Thank you for coming, see you again next week!

Alya gasped. "It's that guy again!"

"Okay, this is starting to creep me out," said Kim. "Who is that guy and why-"

"Don't ask questions," Abby interrupted. "Just watch it."

Wayzz: Master, the Moth Miraculous, I felt its aura.

"Wait, I thought it was a butterfly," said Nino, confused.

Marinette shrugged. "It's referred to as both."

Wang Fu: I thought it had been lost forever!

"How did it get lost?" asked Ivan curiously.

"I have no idea," Marinette lied. Abby raised her eyebrows at her and Marinette glared at her.

"Yeah, no one knows," Abby told them, gave her a small smile.

Wayzz: But Master, it's a negative aura. I fear it may have gotten into the hands of a dark power!

"How would Hawkmoth have found it though?" asked Alya. "I mean, it's not like it would have just been laying around."

"Actually.." Abby's voice trailed off at the look Marinette was giving her. "Yeah, I mean of course not. You'll see."

Wang Fu: We must find Nooroo and his Miraculous. If it has gotten into the wrong hands, there's no telling what evil will come upon the world! (shows his Miraculous) Time to transform! Wayzz... (doubles over in pain)

"No surprise there, looks like the guy is 80.."

Wayzz: Please, Master. Be reasonable. You are–

Wang Fu: Still young! I'm only 186. But you're right, Wayzz. I can no longer do it alone. We'll need some help. (opens the gramophone, revealing the Miraculous chest box)

"186 is NOT young, dude," Nino said, amused. "And how did he live up to that age?"

"He's really..special," said Marinette, playing with her fingers. "Not like any normal old man. But you'll see."

"I'm hearing 'you'll see' a lot now," Alya said, scowling. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Marinette grinned. "You'll see."

"Argh!" Alya groaned.


Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Marinette's phone is ringing


Sabine: Marinette! Your alarm's been going off for fifteen minutes! You're going to be late for your first day back at school!

Chloe snorted. "What else is new?"

Marinette: (Crawling out from underneath bed covers) Got it, Mom! (Walking down stairs) Coming! I bet you anything Chloé will be in my class again.

Sabine: Four years in a row, is that possible?

"Four years?" Alya's eyes widened. She patted her best friend's shouler sympathetically. "Girl, I feel so bad for you."

Marinette: Definitely. Lucky me!

"Of course you're lucky! Who wouldn't be to have moi," She pointed proudly at herself, "In their class?"

Everybody rolled their eyes.

Sabine: Oh, don't say that! It's the start of a new year - I'm sure everything will be just fine! (Marinette smiles and nods, setting down the cereal. Several things are knocked over, spilling and falling to the floor. Marinette groans.)

"Ha, still as clumsy as usual," Alya teased.

Marinette grumbled. "I've gotten better..fine, maybe I haven't."

Tom: (singing as he works)

Marinette: Dad, these are so awesome!

Tom: Glad you like them.

Marinette: Thank you Dad, my class will love them! You're the best!

Tom: We're the best, thanks to your amazing designs. (Marinette hugs Tom, dropping the box. he catches it on his foot and tosses it back to her)

"I think we know where Ladybug gets her reflexes from," Nuno laughed.

"Yup," Marinette smiled. "If i could just have those reflexes in real life.."

Marinette: (giggles) Thanks. (Kiss Tom by the cheek) See you tonight!


Scene: Out on the street. Marinette tries to cross the street but a car stops her


Marinette: Uff... (Sees Wang Fu crossing the street as a car is coming) Uuuhhaawh? (Grabs Fu by his hand and takes him to the other side of the street, dropping the box in the process)

Wang Fu: Thank you, miss. Oh! What a disaster.

"You're so nice," Rose marveled. "I love how you always help people, no matter what the price is."

Marinette blushed. "Well..yeah. That's what being Ladybug is about, isn't it?"

"She meant even in real life," said Alya.

Marinette: (People step on the spilled macarons) Don't worry, I'm no stranger to disasters, besides, there are still a few left.

"Sweet!"

Wang Fu: (Grabs and eats one) Mmmh. Delicious!

Marinette: (School bell rings) Oh no, I'm gonna be late! Ah, have a nice day, sir! (Runs towards the school)

Wang Fu: (Looks at a strange looking box) Thank you very much, young lady.

Everyone gaped at the screen.

"See?" Chloe said. "Even if I had helped him on the street-heck, if anyone had-he would have given them the miraculous. I'm just as capable."

"Yeah, but you wouldn't have helped him," Marinette rolled her eyes. Everyone laughed, making Chloe go pink.


Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette runs to her classroom.


Miss Bustier: Nino, Why don't you have a seat in the front row this year?

Miss Bustier smiled. "Good choice I made..Even in the front row, he can't focus."

Everyone laughed.

Chloé: Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

Marinette: Ugh. Here we go again.

"Can't you leave the girl alone for one second?" Alya shook her head.

Chloé: That's my seat.

Marinette: But Chloé, this has always been my seat.

Sabrina: Not anymore! New school, new year, new seats!

"Ugh, sass.."

Chloé: So why don't you just go and sit beside that new girl over there? (points at Alya) Listen. Adrien's arriving today, and since that's going to be his seat, this is going to be my seat. Get it?

Marinette: Who's Adrien?

"Hard to believe you didn't even know who Adrien was until a years ago," Mylene laughed. "Ever since everything that's happened this year, it's felt more like 10 years.."

Speaking of Adrien..Marinette glanced worridely at the exit.

Chloé: (She and Sabrina laugh) Can you believe she doesn't know who Adrien is? What rock have you been living under?

Sabrina: He's only a famous model.

Chloé: And I am his best friend. He adores me. Go on, move!

Alya: Hey! Who elected you Queen of Seats?

Chloé: Oh, Look Sabrina! We've got a little do-gooder in our class this year. What are you gonna do, super newbie? Shoot beams at me with your glasses?

Alya scowled. "Brat.."

"Hey!" Chloe frowned. "Fine, I guess I was kind of a brat.."

Alya: Wouldn't you like to know. (walks away and grabs Marinette by the hand) Come on.

Marinette: (trips and falls, spilling all but one macaron) Sorry, sorry, sorry...

Miss Bustier: Has everyone found a seat?

Alya: Chillax, girl. No biggie.

"So this is how your relationship started," Alix said. "I'm not surprised you guys are best friends..you need Alya so much that you wouldn't be able to live without her." The class laughed.

"And I wouldn't be able to live without her," Alya winked, smiling at her best friend.

"Should I ship this..?" Abby muttered under her breath. "No, never mind.."

"What was that, Abby?" asked Marinette. Abby looked up quickly and said, "Nothing."

Marinette: I so wish I can handle Chloé the way you do.

Alya: You mean the way Majestia does it. (Shows her a picture of Majestia on her phone) She says all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing. (pointing at Chloé) Well, that girl over there is evil, and we are the good people. We can't let her get away with it.

"Stupid quotes," Chlie mumbled. Marinette and Alya grinned at each other.

Marinette: Well, that's easier said than done. She likes to make my life miserable.

Alya: That's cause you let her, girl! You just need more confidence!

Marinette: (grabs a macaron from the box and gives half to Alya) Marinette.

Alya: Alya.

Miss Bustier: For those of you who don't yet know me, I'm Miss Bustier. I'll be your teacher this year.

Chloé: Ugh, he should have been here by now.


Scene: Outside the school. Adrien is about to enter the school but Nathalie tries to make him change his mind.


Nathalie: Adrien, please reconsider! You know what your father wants!

Adrien: This is what I wanna do! (sees Wang Fu trying to get up and helps him)

Wang Fu: Thank you, young man.

"I'm starting to think he fell on purpose to see hwo would help him," Alya frowned.

Alix nodded. "That sounds right."

Adrien: I just wanna go to school like everybody else. What's so wrong with that? Please don't tell my father about all this.

"Aww..poor Adrien. His father won't let him do anything," Nino said sadly.


Scene: Miss Bustier's classroom.


Miss Bustier: Those of you who have P.E., Mr. D'Argencourt is expecting you at the stadium. The rest of you can head over to the library.

Ivan: Kim!

Miss Bustier: Ivan, what is going on?

Ivan: It's Kim! I'm so gonna get...

Miss Bustier: Ivan, go to the principal's office.

(Ivan walks away angrily.)

"I should have read the note first or handled that differently," Miss Bustier apologized. "Sorry."


Scene: Hawk Moth's Lair.


Hawk Moth: (His window opens) Negative emotions. This is perfect. Just what I need. Anger, sadness... Burn a hole into his heart, my horrible akuma. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!


Scene: Mr. Damocles' office. Ivan opens the door without knocking.


Mr. Damocles: Excuse me, young man. Hasn't anyone ever taught you to knock? Go on. Out you go, try it again! Go on, knock. (The akuma flies into the rugged paper and infects it)

"Ugh, that guy gives me a headache," said Nino in disgust. The teacher raised her eyebrows and he wuickly laughed it off nervously. "I was joking!"

Hawk Moth: Stoneheart, I am Hawk Moth. I give you the power to seek revenge on those who have wronged you.

Ivan: Okay, Hawk Moth. (Turns into Stoneheart)

"How would such a huge guy even take the miraculous? His hands are bigger than cars," said Marinette.

Mr. Damocles: Well, come on in. (Stoneheart appears)

Stoneheart: KIMMM!

Everyone was silent for a moment, then Ivan broke the silence by saying, "Well, at least I knocked."

The theater rang with laughter.

"By knocked, you broke down the door!" Marinette giggled.


Scene: Library. Marinette and Alya are thrown to the floor while the other students see Stoneheart in the security camera.


Alya: Come on!

Student: Did you hear that?

Stoneheart: KIMMM!

Mr. Damocles: Hello? This is the police? Give me the army!

Marinette: What's going on? He had Ivan's voice?

"You can guess THAT but not Adrien's voice?" asked Abby, groaning.

Alya: It's as if he's been transformed into a real-life supervillain! GPS, check. Battery, check. I am so outta here!

Marinette: Hey! Where are you going!

Alya: Where there's a supervillain, there's always a superhero close behind! No way I'm missing this!

"Someday you'll realize how dangerous running into these situations is," Nino shook his head.

(Marinette looks back at the security camera screen. She sees Stoneheart pick up a car and throw it at the security camera. breaking it and showing a rainbow error screen)

Stoneheart: KIM! (Marinette winces)

Ivan winced. "That's not how I pictured myself as a supervillain."


Scene: Agreste mansion. Wang Fu is outside with a little box.


Nathalie: Who was the first president of the 5th French Republic?

Adrien: Everyone thinks it was de Gaulle, but it was actually René Coty before the first elections.

"Who, wha-wha?" Nino frowned.

Miss Bustier sighed. "Maybe if you actually payed attention in class.."

Nathalie: Excellent, Adrien.

Gabriel: Give me a minute, would you, Nathalie?

Nathalie: Yes sir.

Gabriel: (To Adrien) You are NOT going to school. I already told you.

Adrien: But Father!

Gabriel: Everything you need is right here where I can keep an eye on you. I will not have you outside in that dangerous world.

Adrien: It's not dangerous, Father. I'm always stuck in here by myself. Why can't I go to school and make friends just like everyone else?

Gabriel: Because you are not like everyone else! You are my son! Continue.

"So harsh," said Marinette sadly. "I feel so bad for Adrien. We should do something."

Nino nodded. "And you thought your parents were annoying.."

Nathalie: We can leave it there for today if you have– (Adrien runs away)


Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien hears some thumping.


Roger: Ready? Fire! (The police fires at Stoneheart, but he gets bigger.)

(Adrien turns on his TV)

André: I'm asking all parisians to stay home until this situation is under control.

News Crews: Mr Bourgeois. Mr Bourgeois!

Nadja: As incredible as it seems, it's been confirmed that Paris is indeed being attacked by a supervillain. The police have been struggling to keep the situation under control

Roger: Be confident, the strong arm of the law will come crashing down on the... I mean, the other arm.

"Ouch.."


Scene: The scene shifts to Marinette's room.


Marinette: I hate first days back at school... (sees a little box) Huh?

Adrien: (sees a little box) Huh?

Marinette and Adrien: What's this doing here? (they open the little boxes and they glow)

"Wow!" Alya's eyes widened.

Marunette smiled. "This next part is really funny."

"A mouse! A bug mouse!" Abby laughed. Marinette grinned.

Marinette: (Sees Tikki appear) Ahh! Help! It's a giant bug! A... a mouse! A... a bug-mouse!

"A bug mouse?" Alya laughed. "You're hilarious, did you know that?"

Tikki: Everything's okay! Don't be scared!

Marinette: Ahh! Bug mouse talks! (throws things at Tikki)


Scene: Adrien's room.


Adrien: (Sees Plagg appear) No way... Like the genie in the lamp!

"Look how different their reactions are!"

Plagg: I met him once. So he grants wishes. Big deal! I'm way more personable! Plagg. Nice to meet you. Ooh, swanky...

Adrien: No! Don't touch that! Come back here!

Plagg: Ohh! So shiny! Can you eat this? (tries to bite the game arcade's joystick) No, you can't. Ooh, what about this?

"I feel even more bad for Adrien," Kim laughed. "Is Plagg always like this?"

"No, I'm an ANGEL!" Plagg flew around the theater.

"Yeah, angel," Tikki rolled her eyes.


Scene: Marinette's room.


Tikki: Listen, Marinette. I know everything may seem a bit strange to you... (Marinette traps her in a glass cup) Okay, if that makes you feel safer...

Marinette: What are you, and how do you know my name?

Tikki: I am a kwami, and my name is Tikki. Now just let me explain.

"THIS is how you introduce yourself," Tikki scolded Plagg. "Not going around chewing on anything you can find!"


Scene: Adrien's room.


Adrien: (catches Plagg) I still don't know what you're doing here.

Plagg: Look, I'm a kwami. I grant powers. Yours is the power of destruction, got it?

Adrien: (shakes head) Uh-uh.

Plagg: Good. Now, you got anything to eat? I'm starving…

"Plagg!" Tikki narrowed her eyes. "You need to be responsible!"

"But I was hungryyyyy!" Plagg whined.

Adrien: My dad's pranking me, right? Wait, he couldn't be. He has no sense of humor.

Plagg: (flies out of Adrien's hands) Your father must never know that I exist! Or anyone for that matter.


Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette is attempting to open the trapdoor.


Marinette: Mom! Dad!

Tikki: No! (flies out of the glass) I'm your friend, Marinette! You must trust me. You're the only one who can stop Stoneheart!


Scene: Fu's massage room. Wayzz still doubts the Chosen Ones are the right ones.


Wayzz: Do you think they'll be up to it, Master?

Wang Fu: I only got it wrong once. It will never happen again. At least I hope not. (Closes the box)

"Wait, I got it," said Alya. "Is this guy like the guardian or something?"

"Maybe," said Abby. "You'll see."

"STOP SAYING THAT!"


Scene: Marinette's room.


Marinette: This must be some mistake! The only superpower I could possibly have is super-awkwardness... I know! Alya would know! That's my friend. Well, at least I think she would... She loves superheroes! She'd totally be up for the job! You should totally go see her!

Alya's eyes widened. "You were seriously about hand the miraculous over to me?"

Tikki: Marinette, you are the chosen one!

"Harry Potter," Abby grinned.

"Potty who now?" asked Marinette, confused.

"The chosen one," Abby smiled wider.

"Um," said Alya. "Who is Potty Hotter?"


Scene: Adrien's room.


Adrien: But I'm stuck here! I'm never even let to go to school! What good is a superhero who's imprisoned in his own house!

Plagg: No good. That's why it's all going to change soon. If you're willing to change, that is.


Scene: Marinette's room


Marinette: Okay, so all I have to do is break the object where the whatchama-call-it is hiding?

Tikki: It's called an akuma. Which you must encapture.

Marinette: Got it! Capture it! And what's that charm thing again?

Tikki: The Lucky Charm! It's your secret superpower!

Marinette: Aww... this is all going too fast, Tikki... I... won't be able to pull this off!

"Just believe in yourself!"

Tikki: Trust yourself, Marinette. Just say "Spots on".

'Marinette: Spots on? (The earrings activate) Whoa! What is happening?! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug for the first time)

"This transformation is different than the other ones," said Alya.

Marinette snorted. "Well, duh. I was scared out of my mind."


Scene: Adrien's room.


Plagg: Claws out! That's how you transform.

Adrien: Got it. Plagg, claws out!

"Adrien, on the other hand," Alya laughed. "Looks like his entire life has been lading to this moment."

Plagg: No, wait! I haven't finished explaining!- (enters the ring)

[ Transformation Sequence ]

(Adrien transforms into Cat Noir for the first time)

Cat Noir: Too cool!

Marinette shook her head. "Oh..that stupid kitty..He can't even be patient for a second.."


Scene: Marinette's room.


Ladybug: Aww... how does this thing come off? Tikki, if you can hear me, I want my normal clothes back. I'm not going anywhere! (sees the screen)

Nadja: Stoneheart is heading toward the Montparnasse tower. The monster seems to be unstoppable!

Ladybug: (sees Alya going after Stoneheart and gasps) Alya?

Sabine: Marinette! Did you get home okay?

Ladybug: Uhh... yeah, Mom! Just super! (goes upstairs)

Sabine: Marinette? You in here? Tom, we better call the school.

Ladybug: Okay, I have special powers!... and apparently this amazing super yo-yo thingy? (grasps the yo-yo to a gargoyle statue. She pulls the yo-yo and it whisks her to the other side)

Everyone laughed.

"Well, that's not how i imagine Ladybug," Alya teased. "I bet it took a lot of practice."

Marinette winked. "You got it on your first try."

"Huh?" Kim asked, confused. "What do you-"

"Now it's my turn to say, 'you'll see'," Alya grinned.

Cat Noir: (while tightrope walking over his stick) I'm starting to get the hang of this. (sees Ladybug about to fall. She falls in his arms. They both fall and get hung by the yo-yo.) Well, hey there. Nice of you to drop in.

The theater roared in laughter.

"Seriously, when does he STOP flirting and punning?" Marinette shook her head, amused.

"Um, right now," Abby pointed out. Marinette glanced at the doorway once before sighing.

"Does it always take this long for guys to go to the bathroom?" Alya frowned.

"No, not me at least," Nino informed her. "What could that guy be doing in there..?"

Ladybug: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.

Cat Noir: I bet you're the partner my kwami told me about. I'm... Cat Noir. Yeah, Cat Noir. And you?

Ladybug: I'm Ma... err... Mar... uhh... (pulls the yo-yo and it hits Cat Noir) Madly Clumsy. I'm so clumsy.

Abby breathed a sigh of relief. "At least you didn't tell him.."

Cat Noir: No sweat, clumsy girl. I'm learning the ropes too.

(Suddenly, the floor trembles. Cat Noir sees a building falling and goes to where it is)

Ladybug: Hey! Where are you going?

Cat Noir: To save Paris, right?

Ladybug: Ugh. (to herself) Trust yourself, trust yourself... (uses the yo-yo to swing around and follow Cat Noir)

"Again? What's with the screaming?" Alya laughed.

"I was freaked out!" Marinette exclaimed.


Scene: Parc des Princes. The students are done with P.E. But then Stoneheart appears.


Stoneheart: KIMMM! So, who's wuss now?

(Kim runs away from the monster, but he trips and falls.)

Cat Noir: Hey, it's not very nice to pick on people who are smaller than you.

"I guess he was always like this," said Nino.

"So over the top," Marinette laughed. "But it's so cute at the same time."

Stoneheart: I guess you're talking about yourself.

Hawk Moth: Everything's going to plan. Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous have been activated. Here they come to save the day, and now my supervillain will destroy them.

(Cat Noir hits Stoneheart with his stick, but he gets bigger)

Cat Noir: Where are you, partner?

Ladybug; Oh, I can't. I'm not gonna be able to do it... (Stoneheart throws a net away. The net is about to hit Alya but Cat Noir saves her.)

Alya: What are you waiting for, super red bug? The world is watching you!

(Ladybug suddenly is filled with courage. as her heartbeat was heard offscreen. She enters the stadium and is about to fight Stoneheart.)

Ladybug: Animal cruelty? How shameful!

Everyone cheered.

Alya: Yes!

Ladybug: Sorry it took so long, Cat Noir.

Cat Noir: It's cool, Wonderbug. Now, let's kick his rocky behind!

"Very overconfident.."

Ladybug: Wait! Haven't you noticed? He gets bigger and stronger with every attack. We have to do something different.

Cat Noir: Different how?

Ladybug: Uhhh... I don't know.

"So helpful," said Chloe.

Marinette crossed her arms across her chest. "Well, do you have a better idea?"

Chloe didn't answer.

Cat Noir: Okay then. Let's use our powers. Cataclysm! Apparently I destroy whatever I touch.

Ladybug: I don't need a superpower to destroy everything.

Cat Noir: (uses his Cataclysm to break the net)

Ladybug: No, don't do that!

Cat Noir: Cool. It's just you and me now! Time to rumble, soon-to-be rubble!

Ladybug: Cat Noir! Wait!

"He should have listened," Marinette shook her head. "Ugh..so irresistible and annoying at the same time."

(Cat Noir leaps towards Stoneheart to try and defeat him.)

Cat Noir: Uh-oh. I guess I only get one shot to use my power. (Stoneheart throws him away)

Ladybug: And you only have five minutes before you transform back. Didn't your kwami explain anything to you?

Cat Noir: I guess I was a little excited about my new life.

"That's putting it mildly," Nino laughed.

Ladybug: Well, up to me. Lucky Charm! (A suit appears)

Cat Noir: Super power?

Ladybug: My kwami told me I have to break the object where the whatchama-call-it... er, the akuma is hiding.

Cat Noir: Well, he's made entirely out of stone.

Ladybug: His right hand, it's still closed. He never opens it. It's like the Russian dolls. The object isn't on him, it's hidden in his fist!

Cat Noir: So what's your plan?

Ladybug: Hmmm... (Looking around, she spots a hose, Alya and the wetsuit) This! (grabs the hose and ties it to the suit. Then ties Cat Noir's feet with her yo-yo.) Don't resist. Trust me.

Cat Noir: This girl's crazy! (gets thrown and Stoneheart gets him)

Marinette grinned. "About time you get used to it."

Ladybug: Catch me if you can! (Stoneheart drops the akumatized object and grabs Ladybug.)

Ladybug: And now... Alya, the tap!

(Alya goes to the water tap and opens it. The water sprouts and inflates the suit. Stoneheart lets go of her. Ladybug breaks the akumatized object and the Akuma flies away. Stoneheart is turned back into Ivan.)

"So awesome!" Ivan marveled. "Thanks for saving me."

Cat Noir: This girl is awesome. She's crazy awesome.

"What else is new?" Alya smiled. Marinette blushed.

Ivan: What's going on? What am I doing here?

Cat Noir: You were incredible, miss... uh... Bug lady. You did it!

Ladybug: We both did it, partner.

Ladybug & Cat Noir: Pound it! (Cat Noir's Miraculous beeps)

Ladybug: You should get going. Our identities must remain secret.

"Wait, the akuma!" Alya remembered.

"It was my first time.." Marinette sighed. "I made a mistake."

"Everyone does," said Kim encouragingly.

Cat Noir: Farewell, m'lady. Let's do this again soon, okay?

Ladybug: Not too soon, I hope. (sees Ivan, grabs the paper and reads it) "You haven't even got the guts to tell Mylène you love her, wuss."

Kim looked down. "I'm really sorry..I wasn't thinking."

Ivan smiled. "Hey, no hard feelings. At least Mylene and I are together now."

Mylene smiled and hugged her boyfriend.

Ivan: Kim wrote it. He's always making fun of me.

Ladybug: You know, you shouldn't get so bent out of shape about that. There's no shame in telling someone you love them, Ivan.

"Pfft, look who's talking," Alya snorted. Marinette shoved her.

Ivan: Hey, how did you know my name, miss?

Alya: Uncanny, amazing, spectacular! Are you gonna be protecting Paris from now on? How did you get your powers? Did you get stung by a radioactive Ladybug? Oh, I've got a ton of questions to ask you, uh, miss... uhh…

"Radioactive ladybug?" Marinette laughed. "That sounds a bit extreme."

Alya smiled sheepishly.

Ladybug: Uhh... Ladybug! Call me Ladybug.

Alya: Ladybug... Super awesome!


Scene: Marinette's room.


Nadja: So thanks to this amateur footage, the Parisians now know the identities of their heroes!

Marinette: I did it, Tikki!

Tikki: You see? You were up to it!

Sabine: (voice) Marinette! Dinner time!

Mr. Bourgeois: I am pleased to announce that we will organize a huge celebration in honor of our city's new protectors. Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Adrien: Ladybug. Her name is Ladybug…

"Ewww, so lovesick!" Plagg gagged.

Plagg: Eww, what is this?

Adrien: Seriously? My personal chef made all this!

Plagg: If you expect me to get my energy back after the transformation, i need to eat something more... delicate!

Adrien: Okay. What do you want?

"CHEESE FOR LIFE!" Plagg did a small dance in the air.

"Gross!" said Marinette in disgust. "I get why Adrien wanted to trade kwamiis."


Scene: Eiffel Tower. The released akuma steps on top of a pole and it multiplies.


Scene: Bakery. Marinette was washing the dishes when she hears her mother watching the TV


Sabine: (voice) Oh my!

Marinette: Hmmm?

Nadja: Just as Paris is about to celebrate the appearance of our two new superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir, a new wave of panic is sweeping across the capital as dozens of people are mysteriously transformed into stone monsters. It's simply unbelievable.

"Akumas multiply," Abby explained. "That's why it's important to capture them."

Alya frowned. "How?"

"You'll-"

"NO, DON'T SAY 'YOU'LL SEE!'" Alya groaned.


Scene: Adrien's room.


Adrien: Camembert cheese. Fantastic. All he eats is Camembert, which means I'm gonna smell like stinky old cheese.

Nadja: These victims transformed into stone beings are still like statues. The police are perplexed as to what will happen to them. Will they come back to life or be frozen in time forever?

Adrien: Plagg? What's going on? I thought we defeated him.

Tikki & Plagg: Did you capture the akuma?

Marinette: What's capturing the akuma got to do with the other stone beings?

Tikki: An akuma can multiply, that's why it must be captured. If Ivan's emotions become negative again, then the akuma will turn him back into Stoneheart! He'll control all the stone beings and bring them to life to serve as his army!

"Oh no!" Alya exclaimed. "That's bad."

Marinette: So that means... this is all my fault? I knew it! See, Tikki? I'm not cut out to be a superhero! I'm only gonna keep messing up!

Tikki: Keep calm. It was your first time. You're going to go back and capture Stoneheart's akuma, and do it successfully!

Marinette: I can't! I told you, I'm clumsy! I create disaster all the time! I'll only make things worse for me, for you and for everyone. Cat Noir will be better off without me. I'm quitting.

"Everybody makes mistakes," said Abby. "It's no reason to stop trying."

"Plus, you are the greatest superhero i can think of," said Alya. "Never think like that, Marinette."

Marinette smiled. "Thanks, guys. I would never, ever quit. Ever again."

Adrien: SO I can't do anything without Ladybug?

Plagg: Only Ladybug can capture akumas and repair damage caused by supervillains.

Marinette: If Cat Noir can't capture the akumas, then... just find another Ladybug. I told you, I'm not cut out to be Ladybug! (takes her earrings off) I'm sorry Tikki.

Tikki: No, don't do tha-

Marinette: ...Tikki? (puts the earrings back in the box and puts the box in the drawer) I'm really sorry, Tikki…

"Aww.."


Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.


Hawk Moth: Ivan has a sensitive heart. It won't be long before anger and sadness strike again. And he and the stone beings will come alive. Then we'll see how long you will remain hidden, Ladybug and Cat Noir. Once I have your Miraculous, you will be powerless against me. (Shows Ivan sitting on the stairs while listening to music, Adrien is sitting on his couch while he worries while Plagg is in front of him, Marinette regrets her decisions in front of her vanity) Everyone will be powerless against me! (Hawk Moth cackles as his window closes). I will have absolute power! Mwahahahaha!

Everyone shuddered.

"On that happy note," said Nino quietly. "Let's resume the episode."

"No," said Marinette. "Adrien's been in there too long..give me like, a minute to go get him."
