hey! i know you are probably wondering why this took so long, and it's because i found this old one shot i wrote after chat blanc came out about mari telling adrien about chat blac (post reveal) and reading through it just made me so itchy because there were so many errors and i just couldn't resist myself-I just HAD to rewrite it i don't know why lol! i basically did the whole darklblade today to make up for it so yeah!
from now on some chapters might be whole (like Rogercop and this one, Darkblade) snd some split intp parts. it really depends how much time my friend and i have and how motivated we feel to write at times.
Oh, and one more thing! There is this HILARIOUS hawkmoth rap song online that the actual voice actor of hawkmoth dubbed, and now i have it stuck in my head lol. That part where he says "This rotten little cat, and pesky little girl" i burst out laughing because well he just called his son a pesky little cat. and you thought your dad was annoying haha!?

Chapter 28: Darkblade
"It's Darkblade," Marinette responded.
"Cool, play it!"
"Okay!"
Scene: Marinette as Ladybug enters her room through the trapdoor.
Nadja: (giving a news report on Marinette's computer.) Ladybug and Cat Noir have saved Paris yet again.
(Marinette/Ladybug grunts)
Marinette: And yet again, Marinette hopes she'll finally have enough time to complete her magic box.
"Magic box?" Alya questioned.
"For her diary," said Chloe. "Remember?"
Marinette rolled her eyes. "Yeah, if you mean do I remember the time you stole it."
Tikki: What's the magic box for, Marinette?
Marinette: To lock up my diary, and all my secrets.
Tikki: Every little secret? You're telling me that you write everything down in that thing?
Marinette: Uh... yeah, something wrong?
"YES!" Adrien's eyes widened. "That is too risky, you write about your Ladybug duties in there?!"
Marinette sighed. "I know it was kind of irresponsible, but-"
"Very irresponsible," Tikki corrected, shaking her head.
(Marinette repeatedly closes and opens her box to test if it works)
Tikki: Well, for one, what if someone finds out you're Ladybug? And two, what if someone finds out you're Ladybug?!
Everyone laughed.
"Sorry," Marinette giggled sheepishly to Tikki.
Marinette: Not gonna happen. Try it, Tikki.
(Tikki flies in the box and tries to lift the diary, but gets locked in)
Tikki: (Muffled) Hey!
Marinette: And... it works! (Marinette unlocks the box to free Tikki)
"Ohh, nice!" said Rose admiringly, followed by lots of impressed looks from her classmates
Nadja: (From computer.) Yesterday, Mr. Bourgeois was re-elected as mayor of Paris for the fourth consecutive term. Here we see Mr. Bourgeois with his daughter.
Marinette: Ugh! Look at Chloé, acting as if she were the mayor of Paris! Oh! Which reminds me, Class Representative Elections are tomorrow!
"My daddy IS the mayor," Chloe bragged. "And I think I know why you're so discouraged about the elections."
Tikki: What's so bad about that?
Marinette: Chloé is running for class rep. The one person who cares the least about the students, and the most about herself.
"Wait, every single year?" Alya's eyes widened.
Marinette looked confused, then realized that Alya had been a new student this year. "Yeah, you bet," she sighed.
Tikki: Well then, maybe you should run!
Marinette: I totally would, but, don't you think I got enough to do with my duties as Ladybug and all my school work?
"You have a point..but being Ladybug shouldn't stop you from doing what you want," said Max.
"But it does," said Marinette. "And it's fine, really! Being Ladybug is more important."
Tikki: Yes, but, if you truly believe in something, you have to try and make it work. It's better to fail trying than not having tried at all!
"That's a nice quote!"
Marinette: Maybe...
Tikki: Don't underestimate yourself, Marinette!
Nadja: (From computer.) Armand D'Argencourt, one of Bourgeois's opponents, and fencing instructors of Françoise Dupont High School, was pummeled in the polls. In fact, D'Argencourt acquired the least number of votes in Paris History.
"Hey Adrien, isn't that you're fencing teacher?" Ivan asked
"Poor dude!" Nino exclaimed. "They really didn't have to rub it in."
(Marinette looks at the clock in the computer, and gasps.)
Marinette: I'm going to be late for school! Again! See, this is what I'm talking about! (closes computer)
"You're always late, girl," Alya laughed.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Ms. Bustier is talking about the election.
Miss Bustier: Chloé is running for the class representative position and Sabrina will be her deputy. Do we have any other candidates?
(Kim raises his hand but Chloé and Sabrina glare at him.)
Chloé and Sabrina: Hm!
"That's so mean! Threatening people just because you want to be representative?" Marinette shook her head in disgust.
Miss Bustier: Yes, Kim?
Kim: Um, er... nothing.
(Marinette enters the classroom.)
Marinette: Hi! I'm sorry! I-uh, I-uh, the bus, (Marinette starts coughing), dry throat!
"No one believes that by the way," Adrien laughed.
"I think I know," said marinette, smiling.
Alya: Chloé's running again! She's been class rep since when? Kindergarten?
"Wait, but weren't you a new student this year?" asked Adrien.
"Yeah, but I've heard, wanting to become a reporter and all," Alya responded.
Marinette: Oh! Why don't you run as a candidate? You'd make an awesome representative!
"You really would," said Alix. "Why didn't you?"
Alya: No can do. My blog is a full-time job!
"Come on, it's just a blog," said Mylene.
"Not to me it isn't," Alya shook her head.
Miss Bustier: Alright, I'll give all of you till the end of lunch to decide if you like to be a candidate.
Scene: Court. Chloé talks to the other students about the election.
Marinette: (to Kim) So what did Chloé say to you this time? She offered to go on a date with you?
Kim: No, she threatened to tell everyone I'm afraid of spiders.
Rose: She told me that if I ran for the election, I'd get kicked out of scrapbooking club, and you know how much I love all those stickers, colorful scraps of papers, and gluing!
"I can see why you wouldn't want to get kicked out" Mylene put a hand on Rose's shoulder.
"So rude," Alya glared at Chloe, who shrugged.
Alix: I couldn't care less about being a candidate, and what's your excuse?
Marinette: Well, uh, um, I'm... really busy! (thinks about being Ladybug and saving Paris)
Alya: With what? Oversleeping?
"I couldn't have been farther from the truth," Alya laughed. "The thing is, she had the best excuse out of all of us...a very rare thing!"
"Hey!" Marinette exclaimed.
Marinette: Well, No! But, uh, well, I guess I would run if no one else did.
"Liar," Chloe coughed.
Scene: Classroom. Miss Bustier talks about the election.
Miss Bustier: So, any new candidates who would like to run against Chloé and Sabrina?
(Marinette looks around, looking at Kim and Rose, the latter of whom squeaks)
Miss Bustier: Given that Chloé and Sabrina are the only candidates, there's no point in voting. So, Chloé and Sabrina...
(Chloé and Sabrina sigh in satisfaction)
"That would be the end of the world," said Alix.
Marinette: (raises her hand) I'll run!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Alya gave her best friend a grateful look. "You're a lifesaver. literally!"
Marinette smiled. "I just had a sudden change of mind for some reason."
Miss Bustier: Wonderful! You'll need to develop your campaign and have a speech ready by tomorrow. We'll have the vote then.
"Even Miss Bustier looks happy," Kim snorted.
"Um, I'm here you know?" said Miss Bustier, getting everyone's attention again.
Scene: Court. The students are talking about Marinette running for class rep.
Alya: So, let's hear the scoop on your campaign! How are you gonna represent?
Marinette: Represent? Uh, I have no idea. I still can't believe I raised my hand...
Rose: Way to go, Marinette! You spoke from the heart, it was truly authentic! (she giggles)
Marinette: Huh? Oh, uh... Thanks.
Rose: When you win, can we get more comfortable chairs? They are so hard, I can barely concentrate in class. (she gasps in delight) Maybe pink ones!
Nino: And it'd be primo if we could listen to our beats while we study in the library.
"Everyone is so hyped!" Alya exclaimed. "That's what happens when you have a good candidate."
"HEY!" Chloe scowled.
Juleka: Uh, you know... um, I don't-, you know.
Marinette: Um... (Chuckles) Sure, Juleka.
"Did you even hear what I said?" Juleka said quietly, smiling a little.
"No," Marinette admitted sheepishly.
Alya: (sees Adrien) Adrien! Marinette can count on your vote, right?
"She's the perfect wing girl you can hope for," Adrien told Marinette.
"I know," said Marinette. "Thanks a bunch, Alya."
Adrien: Sure. Depending on her speech…
Chloe blinked twice. "Y-you weren't going to vote for me either, Adrikins?"
Adrien twisted his fingers together and didn't look at her. "Well-I..uh-you see I just..maybe-"
"Forget it," said Chloe miserably. Adrien sighed.
Marinette: Better get cracking on that campaign.
Chloé: I've watched how my daddy wins every election, and I'm going to follow in his footsteps. I know just how to win!
"Oh yeah, that's a big advantage for her isn't it?"
"Sadly."
"HEY!"
Sabrina: By having the best campaign?
Chloé: Ha! Whatever! The secret to winning in politics is ruining your opponent's reputation!
Marinette rolled her eyes as the rest of the class gasped. "Of course. Typical Chloe, what else should I expect?"
"Actually, that IS how politics works!" Chloe sneered. "And I was super close!"
"Whatever, still!" Marinette scowled.
Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette is in her room, thinking about her campaign.
Marinette: Softer chairs, music in the library, whatever Juleka said... I'm writing down everyone's issues! Now I just have to get all this in my election speech.
Tikki: I'm proud of you, I'm sure you're gonna win! You'll make an awesome class rep!
"Yeah!" said Rose encouragingly.
Marinette: They're all relying on me to defeat Chloé. Even Adrien, do you realize that?
Chloe and Adrien still sat in an uncomfortable silence. Marinette turned pink as she wished that her on screen self had said anything but that.
(Marinette's phone vibrates. It's Alya calling)
Alya: (From phone.) Marinette, battle's on.
Marinette: Why? What's going on?
Alya: Chloé's invited the whole class to her campaign launch party at City Hall and she's got Jagged Stone coming, too!
"That was a fun party!" Rose squealed, then quickly added, "But uhh, not that much!"
"I'm sure the Jagged Stone signing was pretty tempting not to go to," Alix pointed out.
Marinette: Seriously? Jagged Stone, my favorite star?! I love him! Oh, and so does everyone else.
"When you realize your opponent has a better strategy," Chloe rolled her eyes.
Alya: Precisely! She's trying to buy student votes with autographs!
"Sneaky but clever I gotta admit," said Max.
Marinette: Not if I have anything to say about it! Meet you there!
(Marinette leaves the house, but forgets her diary. Sabrina, undercover, is about to enter the bakery to look for something to embarrass Marinette.)
Sabrina: I'm going in, Chloé. (enters the bakery)
Sabine: Hello!
Sabrina: Hi there! Marinette borrowed my math book for our Geometry homework, but I need it back.
"Liar!" Marinette scowled.
Sabine: Marinette's not here, uh, I've got customers to attend to, but go on up and grab it from her room if you don't mind.
Sabrina: I'd be glad to, thanks!
Marinette's eyes widened. "She just let you into my room? And seoriously you were going to snoop through my room?"
Sabrina grinned sheepishly.
Scene: College. Adrien is in fencing class. Nadja Chamack, hidden, sees them. Mr. D'Argencourt defeats Adrien with a special attack.
Adrien: Wow, Mr. D'Argencourt, never seen you on fire like this! That was some attack!
"Maybe he's all fired up because my daddy won the election," said Chloe, then added, "Forth year in a row."
Armand: It ought be. This particular maneuver hither was developed by my ancestor Darkblade.
Adrien: Darkblade?
"Some old legend," said Alix.
"Actually, it's not," Max corrected.
Armand: In the days of yore, Darkblade conquered Paris and ruled over it with an iron fist. Until he was overthrown vence by a wealthy Frenchman who used his dirty gold to buy the loyalties of the common people. To think that not so long ago, my ancestor's flag was waving above Paris…
"That's cool!" exclaimed Alya. "I should write a blog about that."
"Please no more blogs, how many do you even have?" Marinette begged, laughing.
Nadja: Is that what you ran in the election, Mr. D'Argencourt? To seek revenge on your ancestors behalf?
"Well that's just kind of rude," Marinette scowled.
Armand: Part le fer! Who dost we have hither?
Nadja: Nadja Chamack. Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Do you have anything to say about your quote un-quote landslide defeat?
"That's so mean! Does she really have to bring it up?" Kim shook his head. Many people nodded.
"Yeah, great way to rub it in," Adrien sighed.
Fred: Hey, you! Excuse me! How did you get in the school?
Nadja: I think it's time to get back to the studio! (runs away)
Fred: Get back here!
Armand: Here endeth the lesson.
"Poor dude," said Nino. "Anyone else think Badia can be a little rude just to get her news sometimes?"
Many people nodded.
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: (His window opens) A loser and an utter failure in an election. But the perfect candidate to lobby my own campaign. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my evil little akuma, and take control of this defeated fighter!
Scene: Outside the school. Mr. D'Argencourt is leaving, but Nadja Chamack finds him.
Nadja: Mr. D'Argencourt, it has been said, and I quote, that you're "stuck in the dark ages like a stubborn old rusted battle-axe". What do you have to say to that?
"This is so wrong!" said Adrien in outrage.
"I know right!" exclaimed Marinette.
Armand: Poisonous wretch! Dares't thou approach with such venomous questions. Be gone, now, pestilent pain in the neck! (bumps into a poster with Mr. Bourgeois in it. He slices it to pieces. The akuma comes and enters his saber)
"Um, what did he say?" Chloe frowned. "Is he like from the 1800s or something?"
Adrien laughed. "I wouldn't be surprised."
Hawk Moth: Darkblade... In return for the powers I'm giving you, you'll capture Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous for me.
Armand: When the flag bearing the emblem of mine ancestors lies once again upon the roof of City Hall, then to thee I shall indeed be indebted! (turns into Darkblade)
"What?" asked Alya. "I can't understand a word he's saying!"
"I don't think any of us can," said Sabrina.
Nadja: (suddenly nervous) Anything y-you'd like to say about your t-transformation into a-
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Why didn't she run! Ugh, stupid."
Darkblade: Darkblade! The lord of Paris! (uses his sword to turn Nadja and the cameraman into knights) Thou shalt become my knights! Soon my army shalt be immense and unstoppable! (cuts the billboard in half with his sword) We shall take City Hall by storm and reclaim the throne from Bourgeois the usurper!
"Well, he sure had strong opinions about the election," said Rose quietly.
(Adrien and Plagg are watching what happens; Plagg drifts idly over Adrien's shoulder)
Plagg: Whoa, that's some medieval madness!
Adrien: (enters the school) Time to transform!
[ Transformation Sequence ]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
Darkblade: (approaches the Gorilla) Zounds! What a great beast to join our conquest! (turns him into a knight)
(Civilians chant "Part le fer!" as Darkblade expands his army)
Darkblade: Let us to battle, knights! Part le fer!
Cat Noir: The people had their say and they chose Bourgeois over you, D'Argencourt!
"Now look who wants to rub it in," Marinette teased.
"It's called constructive criticism," Adrien defended. "Plus, you don't win the bet."
Marinette smirked. "This time."
"Are you guys still doing that stupid thing?" Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I gotta agree," Alya admitted.
"I'm too proud to lose," Adrien laughed.
"Me too!" Marinette exclaimed.
Darkblade: Thy people matter not to me. D'Argencourt was defeated, not Darkblade! En garde!
Scene: Marinette's room. Sabrina is about to steal Marinette's diary.
Sabrina: (from Chloé's phone) Chloé, I made it in. So, what am I looking for?
Chloé: (from Sabrina's phone) Anything. As long as it's totally embarrassing.
"Snoop!" Marinette accused. Chloe crossed her arms over her chest.
The rest of the class glared at Chloe.
Sabrina: (searching, she finds a hat Marinette made) Wait, I had one just like this! How about... a ball of yarn! Or a screwdriver?
"How are those even embarrassing?" asked Chloe.
"I don't know," said Sabrina quietly.
Chloé: Course not, dingbat! A disgusting photo of her or some really tacky piece of clothing! Dig around a bit!
"Why didn't you just do it yourself if you're so perfect?" asked Marinette.
"Shut up," said Chloe, red in face.
Sabrina: (sees Marinette's diary) Ohh... how about her diary?
Alix whistled. "Now that is LOW!"
"I know right," Alya agreed.
Chloé: Wow! You can actually accomplish something when you put your mind to it!
(Sabrina is about to grab the diary from the box, but the diary's box closes down on her hand. She yelps and tries to get it off, dropping her phone)
Everyone laughed.
"Good job, Marinette," Adrien laughed.
"You see, Chloe?" Marinette smirked. "This is why we keep a lock! To keep diaries safe from brats like you."
"HEY!" Chloe whined.
Chloé: Sabrina? Sabrina?!
Scene: City Hall. Marinette arrives and sees the campaign launch party is starting.
Mr. Bourgeois: I'm pleased to welcome you all to the official launch of Chloé's electoral campaign. And a special thank-you to world-famous pop-star Jagged Stone for endorsing her.
"You had too many advantages in this election, yet I still won," said Marinette. "That just proves that just because your dad is the mayor, he can't do everything for you."
"Maybe that's true," said Chloe. "But can you do better than Jagged Stone?"
(The other students are amazed)
Chloé: And, when you vote for me, you'll get free tickets to Jagged's next concert!
(Alya gets an autographed CD, and Marinette sees her)
Marinette: Huh! You got an autograph?
"Betrayer!" Marinette playfully stuck her tongue out, earning some laughs.
Alya pretended to gasp. "Me, no way!" Then she also burst into laughter.
Alya: Uh... Yeah, got you one too. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Marinette giggled. "I don't blame you! I mean, this is Jagged Stone we're talking about!"
Alya smiled. "Exactly."
Marinette: Nope, I'm not falling for it. But, I'll consider forgiving you if you vote for me.
Alya: (chuckles and nods)
"Did you really think i wouldn't have voted for you anyways?" asked alya.
Marinette laughed. "Not really."
Scene: Lock Bridge. Cat Noir and Darkblade are still fighting.
Darkblade: (performs the same feint-and-strike he did to Adrien before. His staff goes flying)
Cat Noir: Seriously? How did I not see that coming?
Darkblade: Take him!
(His knights go after Cat Noir, but he throws himself out of the bridge, hiding under it)
Darkblade: Nary a minute to be wasted! City Hall awaits us!
Cat Noir: City Hall, huh? You go first. I'll catch up with you.
"Talking to no one?" Marinette teased. "But hey, that was pretty cool."
"Guess he didn't think to look down," Adrien shrugged.
Scene: City Hall. Jagged Stone is still signing autographs. Sabrina arrives to where Chloé is.
Chloé: What took you so long? You'd better have gotten her diary.
"At least she did it! How about some respect?"
Sabrina: I did! Sorta... (shows her the diary box)
Chloé: (she gasps and turns Sabrina away from their classmates) What is that?
Sabrina: When I grabbed the diary, this crazy box clipped down around my hand!
Chloé: And I'm supposed to believe you? Ughhh... Why do I bother?
"You can literally see it," Marinette pointed out. "And you didn't even give a thank you!"
Marinette: Do you realize that you're all being bribed? Concert tickets are awesome, but they aren't gonna solve classroom problems.
"Point!" said Alya.
Nathaniel: So what's your campaign then, Marinette?
"We were so caught up in it, sorry Marinette!" Nathaniel and many other people apologized.
Marinette: Well, um, I'm, um, thinking that cushions would be more realistic than buying new chairs. (To Rose) Your cushion could be very pink. And I'll see about listening to music in the library. Through headphones, of course.
"That actually sounds better for the school, I don't know why we didn't realize that then," said Kim.
"Yeah, I know," Marinette sighed.
Chloé: (sarcastically) Remarkable. You actually sound like a class rep. Too bad you don't have a chance of winning. A word?
"You were saying?" Marinette smirked, making Chloe go pink.
(Chloe shoves her behind the pillar Sabrina is hiding behind)
Marinette: Oh! My diary! What were you doing-?
Chloé: If you don't pull out of the race, all your secrets will be revealed.
"Nasty!"
Marinette: I don't-uh, I mean, uh, what secrets?
"You're not that good at making excuses, no offense," Adrien laughed.
"I was running out!" Marinette defended herself.
Chloé: Ha! I guess we'll find out... as soon as I get my hands on a chainsaw!
"You'll just slice the diary in half, that's dumb!" exclaimed Max.
(Trumpets start playing)
Knight: O-ye, o-ye! Darkblade shall speak now! Listen or be imprisoned!
Darkblade: Henceforth, my flag shalt fly over thy kingdom! Bourgeois, pathetic knave, come hither and do battle!
Mr. Bourgeois: What did he say?
Alya: Basically, he's gonna bust you up.
The theater ringed with laughter.
"That is a nice way of putting it, Alya!" Marinette smiled.
"I figured that's what he was saying," said Alya.
Mr. Bourgeois: Ehh... Ask my secretary for an appointment!
"Sorry to your dad Chloe, but that's not how it works," Adrien teased.
(He and the students shut the doors)
Darkblade: Ha ha ha ha ha! Bow down to Darkblade, or feel the wrath of mine sword!
Knights: Part le fer! Part le fer! Dahhh!
(Cat Noir jumps from ceiling to ceiling, and throws his staff at the knights)
Darkblade: Take him!
Cat Noir: Guys, do you only know heavy metal?
"Why is it always puns with you?" Marinette groaned.
Adrien grinned. "Puns are meow-velous!"
Marinette rolled her eyes.
(Cat Noir and the knights start fighting when Cat Noir gets dogpiled)
Marinette: Ouch! Cat Noir...Hurry!
"Um, a little help?" Adrien teased.
Cat Noir: (breaks out from under the pile of knights with his staff) That was a nice warm-up!
Darkblade: Part le fer! (starts fighting Cat Noir)
(Scene cuts back to the inside of City Hall)
Jagged Stone: Wait, do I hear the sounds of crazed fans? I can totally get them under control. (takes his guitar, goes outside and plays it while singing off-key, only to see Darkblade and Cat Noir fighting, and Cat Noir being chased by the knights)
Marinette laughed along with the rest of the class. "Poor Jagged, he really doesn't get it, does he?"
Darkblade: Behold, a minstrel!
Jagged Stone: Guys, guys, I know you love me, but no reason to fight over it.
"Okay, but can he get any more dumber?" Chloe scowled while everyone else laughed.
Darkblade: Are you the usurper's champion?
"Say what?" asked Adrien, confused.
Jagged Stone: Say what? (Darkblade zaps him and turns him into a knight)
Chloé: Oh no!
Ivan: What are we gonna do?
Marinette: The doors, quickly!
Chloé: The doors, quickly!
"Copycat," Adrien grinned. "Get it? I said copyCAT-"
"I assure you we all got it!" Marinette rolled her eyes.
"Yeah dude," Nino laughed.
Marinette: Quit, Chloé!
Chloé: Quit, Chloé! Oh…
"HA!" Alya laughed. "This is what happens when you try to copy the real leader."
Darkblade: Kneel before thy flag of Darkblade! Bow down before mine eyes!
(The students lock the doors)
Rose: Chloé, what should we do? What would a class rep do?!
Chloé: Well, if indeed you vote for me, I'll provide you with an answer. Tomorrow.
Rose: But we can't wait until tomorrow!
Chloé: Then you're out of luck. You'll have to ask someone else.
"See," Marinette rolled her eyes. "This is what being a class representative means."
"Clearly you don't know," Alya shot at Chloe.
"Hey, I was scared too!" Chloe defended.
Marinette: Hmmm... (goes upstairs) Tikki, we need to talk.
Scene: City Hall Office. Marinette is talking with Tikki.
Tikki: What are you going to do?
Marinette: Cat Noir needs Ladybug, but the students need me, too!
"You can do both," said Adrien encouragingly. "I've seen you do more amazing things."
Marinette blushed.
Tikki: Trust your instincts...
(Meanwhile, outside, the knights are trying to open the door. The students are scared, but Marinette arrives)
Marinette: Kim, Ivan, lock the doors! Make sure all the windows are closed too, quickly!
(They go and lock the doors)
Marinette: Nino, Juleka, Rose, Mylène and Alya, you come with me!
"See?" Alya beamed. "A true leader!"
Alya: Good job, girl! (talks to Chloe) Now there's a future class representative in the making.
"I couldn't agree more," said Rose.
Chloé: Well, I was going to say the exact same thing. Sabrina, Ivan, Kim, go lock the doors!
"Yeah, we SO believed that," sad Alix sarcastically.
(Outside, the knights are still trying to open the door)
Marinette: We have to barricade the entrance!
(The students use things from the room to make a barricade)
Nino: I hope they haven't gone too medieval on Cat Noir!
Marinette: It's time to retreat! Sir, we gotta get out of here!
Mr. Bourgeois: This way! (leads the students to safety)
Marinette: I'll catch up with you guys! I'll make sure all the windows are closed first! (opens her purse and Tikki appears) This should be safe now.
"Thanks a lot," Rose smiled. "You really are a true hero."
Marinette's cheeks reddened. "No problem."
[ Transformation Sequence ]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
Scene: Outside the City Hall. Cat Noir is being surrounded by knights, but Ladybug appears in time.
Cat Noir: Back off, you tin cans!
A;ya burst into laughter. "Tin cans? Seriously? But that one doesn;t even make sense."
"You laughed!" Adrien smirked.
"So?" asked Alya.
"You do like puns," Adrien pressed on.
"No way!" Alya laughed.
Ladybug: Cat Noir, over here! (uses her yo-yo to drag him inside, and he hits the wall, landing upside down with his legs folded) Sorry, Cat Noir. I was busy doing damage control inside.
Cat Noir: I was managing just fine by myself, you know. But it's always nice to see you.
"Flirt!"
Darkblade: Come, formation!
(The knights come into formation, but Ladybug and Cat Noir stop them)
Cat Noir: Strike! (lifts Ladybug inside)
Darkblade: Cursèd, colorful acrobats! (turns two cars into catapults. The knights use the catapults to launch themselves into the City Hall)
Knight: Pull! (The knights pull the catapult, and launch it)
"He's not as crazy as some of the other villains," said Marinette. "Too formal actually."
Cat Noir: Why are they going on the roof? (a knight ungracefully slams none-to-gently into the wall beside their window with an "oof!") Well, at least some of them.
Ladybug: The flag!
Darkblade: Tally ho! (The knights launch him to the roof with the catapult) Ha ha ha! Once these stripes are supplanted by mine coat of arms, I shalt reign supreme!
Alya sighed. "I won't even talk about what he's saying anymore because no one understands."
Ivan laughed. "Yeah, same here."
Ladybug: The akuma must be in his sword!
Cat Noir: How are we gonna get a hold of it?
Ladybug: By getting me close to him!
"Why do you get to do the interesting stuff?" Adrien complained.
"Because," Marinette laughed. "Only I can capture the akuma."
"I wish I did that fun part!" Adrien sighed. Marinette giggled.
(Ladybug ties Darkblade's arm with her yo-yo, and goes to where he is. Darkblade blocks Ladybug with his sword)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, don't let him get his banner!
(Cat Noir tries to knock down the human ladder of knights to stop the banner from going up, but is too late)
"He really was hard to defeat, wasn't he?" asked alya.
"Partly because he yelled random gibberish," Marinette nodded.
Darkblade: Villains! Thou impress me not. By the blade of darkness, I hereby declare all peoples of this kingdom are henceforth mine! (puts his flag on top, causing the sky to become black) Bow to King Darkblade!
"That is creepy," Mylene shuddered.
(A black void of energy appears and begins closing in on City Hall, causing civilians to become knights.)
"This is like the Pharaoh but knights instead of mummies," Alya realized.
Darkblade: Hahahaha!
Ladybug: Huh?
Darkblade: Soon thou shalt join my army, you venomous insect!
Cat Noir: (knocks down the knights who are holding him) Not so fast! En garde!
"Being good at fencing comes in handy, huh Adrien?" asked Alix.
Adrien nodded. "Yeah, especially with this villain."
Hawk Moth: It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show up to meet their doom! (laughs)
Cat Noir: (Sees the civilians becoming knights) We're about to wind up as knights too!
(The black energy reaches the students, who become knights)
"Wow, that's actually me..who knew I would look so different?" Alya joked.
Knights: Part le fer!
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (A toy ladybug appears) Uh, okay... (uses her thinking vision which highlights part of the City Hall's roof, some edging, and Darkblade's underarm) Let's hope Darkblade's ticklish.
"That's your plan?" Chloe snorted. "Tickle him?"
"Hey it worked," said Marinette, feeling her face heat up.
Cat Noir: (sees Darkblade pull the same feint he did before) Not this time.
(While they are fighting, Ladybug winds up the toy, goes to where Darkblade is and throws the toy ladybug at him. He starts feeling ticklish and laughing. He throws his sword, and Cat Noir throws it to Ladybug, who breaks it, depleting the black sky and the dark energy. The akuma flies out of the sword)
"She did it again! And wow, tickles..what a crazy plan!" Nino laughed.
"Not the first time she used tickles," Alya reminded him. "Remember Miraculer-"
Marinette shot her a warning glance.
"I mean, I saw a footage and that's what she did," Alya finished quickly, smiling out of the corner of her mouth at Marinette.
Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. (opens her yo-yo) Time to de-evilize! (catches the akuma with her yo-yo) Gotcha! (releases the purified akuma.) Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (throws the Lucky Charm into the air, its energy reverting everything back to normal. Darkblade turns back into Mr. D'Argencourt.)
Armand: Hmm? Huh?
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!
Cat Noir: (looks to his ring) Uh, Gotta take off, see ya!
Hawk Moth: Our duel is not over yet, my dear Ladybug. At the end of our battle, I will rule!
"As if!"
Scene: City Hall. Ladybug enters through a window, and turns back into Marinette.
Tikki: Great job, Marinette. You proved that you can be Ladybug and a student leader at the same time.
"Definitely!" Adrien beamed.
Marinette: Wasn't easy, but I'm glad I tried. Cause if I hadn't, I never would've known I could do it.
"Ugh, stop with the cringy quotes!" Alix said in disgust. Marinette giggled.
The students are removing the posters and chairs from the door, and Chloé sees Marinette)
Chloé: So where were you? Safely hiding under a rock?
"Yeah, Chloe, totally! I wasn't actually saving you from the villain," Marinette rolled her eyes.
"You really couldn't be farther from the truth," said Alya, shaking her head, amused.
Marinette: Very funny, Chloé. I got transformed... into a knight.
"LIES!" Alya yelled.
Adrien: (sprinting downstairs) So did I! What a knight-mare!
"Careful Adrien, your Chat Noir is showing!" Marinette teased playfully.
"I didn't know that was possible for him to make puns as Adrien," Alya smirked.
"I will always make puns!" Adrien grinned.
Marinette: Now that this is all over, I want my personal items back!
(The other students gasp and surround Chloé)
"Ooo, here comes the good part!" Alya jumped up and down giddily. She loved the parts where Chloe got told off, they were so fun to watch for some reason.
Chloe groaned and looked away.
Chloé: I really have no idea what you're talking about! I-
Sabrina: (shoves Chloé aside and holds out her hand with the diary box on it to Marinette) Oh, yes! Please take it off! (Marinette uses the key to open the diary box, freeing Sabrina's hand) Thank you!
"You just had to blow my cover!" Chloe scowled.
Sabrina sighed. "I couldn't run around with a diary stuck to my hand the whole day!"
"She really has a point!" Marinette defended.
Alya: Got an explanation, Chloé?
Chloé: I told you, I never took her diary! And I'm offended that you're accusing me.
"No one said anything about a diary!" Kim smirked.
Marinette: Then how did you even know my diary was in here?
"HA!"
(The other students gasp)
Chloé: Oh, well, uh... Sabrina told me. It was all her idea!
Everyone gasped in disbelief and outrage.
"Excuse me, but WHAT?!"
"So uncool!"
"That is NOT true!"
Nino: So uncool!
Alya: At least now we know nobody voted for Chloé. You're gonna be our new representative!
"Yay!" Rose clapped her hands in delight.
Marinette: Uh... Not so fast, Alya.
Chloé: Ha ha ha! See? She's undependable! She's already throwing in the towel!
"You wish," Marinette snorted.
Marinette: No, I'm not! I just wanna be voted in fairly, not because you don't wanna vote for Chloé, but because you believe in me! I'm not gonna make promises that I can't keep, and I'm not gonna be able to get you everything that you want. But I am resourceful and I know how to prioritize. I'm a good listener and a great multi-tasker. Representing you all is something I truly believe in. And most importantly, I believe in myself. So... Vote for Marinette, for class representative!
Some people clapped.
"That was such a cool speech! You really deserved it!" Adrien smiled at her.
She blushed. "Thanks for voting for me, guys."
(The other students cheer and applaud her)
Chloé: (Sees Sabrina applauding) What are you doing? Are you out of your mind? Ughh... What are you even good for?
"Can't she vote for what she wants?" Marinette defended Sabrina.
"I am her best friend, she should vote for me anyways!" Chloe shot back nastily. "Your best friend voted for you right?"
"I'm sorry Chloe, but Marinette would make a better representative," said Sabrina quietly.
Chloe blinked twice then said coldly, "Fine. If that's how you want it to be."
Sabrina looked really guilty.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette ends up being elected as class representative.
Miss Bustier: By majority vote, Marinette is the new class representative, and Alya will be her deputy.
Marinette: (to Alya) You'll be able to do your blog and be a deputy. We can do anything if we put our minds to it!
Alya: I'm with you, girl!
THE END
"Well, that was an awesome episode!" Marinette smiled.
"No, not so fast!" Abby appeared on the screen. "Next, I was thinking about showing you the Christmas Special!"
"There's even a Christmad special?" asked Marinette. "How long is this show?"
"Very long!" Abby giggled. "You will love it. Also, there is singing by Marinette and Adrien in the special."
Marinette and Adrien nearly choked. "WHAT?!"
"I did NOT sing!" exclaimed Adrien.
"Me neither! I don't just..burst into songs!" said Marinette.
"Yeah, but umm..beware the songs," Abby smirked and disappeared from the screen as the Christmas special began playing.
