"Anansi"? Mylene says confused by the episode title, before handing the card back to Luminous.
"Wait I think I know this one". Alya says surprising everyone
"How could you know that one Alya, another fairy tale you tell your sisters"? Chloe asks knowing she reacted the same way when the Sapotis episode was drawn.
"Not exactly, it's actually my Older sister Nora's wrestling name. It's after a mythological spider". Alya explains thinking it over
"Wait babe, during the Scarlet Moth episode didn't three butterflies go after your sisters"? Nino asks remembering the older sister holding off butterflies fearlessly with a broom.
"You're right Nino! Wait, does that mean another member of my family get's Akumatized? If so Hawkmoth you're going down let's get this episode started". Alya says as her anger increases in recognition as she swipes the remote from Luminous's hand and starts the episode.
Scene: Césaire apartment, living room. Alya and Nino are dancing in front of the television. Marinette is watching from behind, next to her phone with Adrien on videocall.
"HEY! Alya give that back". Luminous says holding her hand out for the remote.
"Oh sorry here you go". Alya apologies handing the remote back to Luminous
"Why don't I believe you"? Luminous asks herself as she sits down.
Marinette: They're so in sync with each other.
Adrien: (on videocall) You're right. Someday I hope I'll find someone I can share everything with… (Marinette gasps) like they do. (in his room, Adrien sighs) But until my father starts letting me go out more often, that probably won't be happening.
"Forget being a Disney Princess, Adrien is like an attractive version of Quasimodo". Chloe says taking back everything about him being a princess.
"Uhh Thanks I think"?
Marinette: (on videocall) Are you sure your dad won't let you come? It's such a bummer.
Adrien: (on videocall) You know how overprotective he is. One day he'll realize I'm not a child anymore, but we're not quite there yet. (Marinette chuckles)
Nino: Big finish, here we go!
Marinette: You don't wanna miss this. (points phone at Nino and Alya)
Nino: (poses on one leg) Yeah! (Marinette and Alya start laughing)
(Nora enters the apartment.)
Nora: Aw, shoot. Did I miss the ballet?
Alya: Nora, is your match over already?
Nora: (puts down her bag) First round: total knockout. Huh-huh-huh. (punches the air) As usual. (whispering into Alya's ear) I told you a hundred times not to call me Nora in front of people, little sis. (to the rest) The name is Anansi, like a spider.
"Eww spiders". Chloe Shrieks thinking about the crawly little thighs
"Hey Chloe no reason to be scared spiders aren't scary, they're necessary to the ecosystem, and can do a lot of good for the environment". Mylene defends the very feared creatures.
"Not to mention they're so awesome". Juleka adds in.
"Ugh let's just agree to disagree about this okay"? Chloe suggests not wanting to talk about spiders anymore".
"Okay".
Alya: Sure, I'll call you Anansi when you stop calling me 'little sis'.
Nora: Anyway, what are you all still doing here this late? Don't you have school tomorrow?
(Marinette and Nino avert their eyes bashfully.)
Alya: We're waiting for it to get dark. It's the World Cup fireworks show tonight, remember? We're gonna watch from the Place de la Concorde Ferris wheel.
Nora: (spits out her drink) Oh no! Baguette and cappie can go with cellphone boy if they want, but you're staying here. (crushes a milk carton under her hand) It's way too dangerous.
"Wow, uhh your sister sure likes to give people nicknames doesn't she"? Kim is unsure about his classmate's sister. This causes Alya to snort
"You have to Idea".
Marinette: But Nora—I mean, Anansi, you can't do that!
Nino: Yeah, no way dude, we're not going without Alya!
Alya: Listen, I appreciate you worrying about me and all, but I'm not a little girl anymore. Besides, Mom and Dad are totally cool with it.
Nora: Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, there have been way too many akumatized peeps in Paris these last few weeks. Look how many times you've been in direct danger. (shows shots of Alya in danger from The Pharaoh, Prime Queen and Befana) So you're staying home, safe and sound, period!
"You know what babe, I kinda agree with your sister here". Nino says thinking it over.
"WHAT how could you agree with my sister over me"?!
"You do Kinda get into really dangerous situations a lot from going after Akuma's". Nino tries to reason
"Well maybe if I had my Miraculous full time that wouldn't be a problem". Alya fires back while looking at Fu, who just shakes his head No hearing that.
"But your sister wouldn't know that, so she would still be doing this sort of thing". Nino points out
"But. but , but, Ugh Fine".
Alya: That's so ridiculous! The twins were akumatized right here at home. (shows a shot of Sapotis)
Nora: Well, that would've never happened on my watch. I won't let anybody mess with my family.
Alya: (unimpressed) You mean like the other day at the square?
"Oh no what did she do this time"? Alya groans
"This time"? Kagami asks amused
"Well, let's just say Halloween was interesting". Is all Alya would say about the matter
Adrien: (on videocall) What happened?
Marinette: Well… we came across a man handing out flyers (shows a man in a banana costume getting picked up by Nora as his flyers of the "Adrien" ad get strewn around) Nora thought the man was akumatized and wanted to turn Alya into a banana-zombie.
"Wow Talk about girl power". Chloe says impressed, by Nora's power
"Ya maybe I could learn a thing or two from here, right Kim". Alix adds in looking over to classroom jock
"Leave me out of this"!
Nora: Uh...uh...how was I supposed to know it was some stupid costume? And besides, what would happen if the Ferris wheel stopped working 'cause some akumatized dude refused to pay his fare? Once you fly-weights can actually defend yourselves like me (shows off) we'll talk about it.
Marinette: It doesn't matter, because Ladybug and Cat Noir would save us if there were any problems.
Nora: Uh-huh. And what if Mister Whiskers is catching a mouse and that Beetle's been sprayed with bug spray? What do you do then? (Marinette looks angry)
"B-B-B-Bug Spray! How does your sister think our powers work Alya"? Marinette stutters to ask her soul sister
"I might have run some of my theories by her in the past regarding your powers, and I used to talk about comic books a ton before starting the Ladyblog". Alya explains, never realizing how seriously Nora took her rambling before.
Nino: I can protect Alya if I have to.
Nora: Oh yeah? And how exactly are you planning to defeat the villain? A dance-off? (laughs)
Nino: (looks down) I'd… do anything to protect Alya. (Alya looks touched)
"Huh, Hey Luminous"! Alix calls their host over.
"What's wrong"? Luminous asks pausing the episode
"Nino was one of the hero's during Hero's day right"?
"Yes"
"Has he gotten his Miraculous by this point"?
"Nope".
"Oh that explains why Nino doesn't look very confident in this episode".
Nora: Hmm, ha! Okay, Alya can go out with you guys… (places her elbow on the table) if… you beat me at an arm wrestle.
Alya: Please, don't arm-wrestle on my account. I don't need to be protected.
Adrien: (on videocall) Nino, you don't stand a chance against Anansi; she's way too strong.
Nino: (annoyed) Hey, dude!
Adrien puts his hands up in surrender "just being honest".
"I know dude".
Adrien: Sorry, Nino; I'm sure we'll work something out.
Marinette: We gotta go, or else we'll miss the fireworks.
Alya: (resigned) Forget it; you guys go without me.
Marinette and Nino: Huh?!
Marinette: No way! (gasps and looks smug) Okay, Nino will arm-wrestle you.
"Sorry Nino my mouth wasn't thinking obviously". Marinette apologies for her future self
"It's alright dudette, I just hope I don't die".
Nino and Alya: What? (Nora smirks)
Marinette: Nino will prove his worth to us that he can defend Alya and every one of us, because—
Alya: (whispering to Marinette) Marinette, what are you doing?
Marinette: (to Alya) Don't worry, I got this. (to Nora) Because… uhh, because love and, uh, friendship, mmm, make your muscles bulge.
"Statistically that only happens in anime". Max says before he's elbowed in the side by Alix
"Don't freak him out further". She hisses at him, while pointing to a rather pale looking Nino
"Oh".
Nino: (flexes) Yeah, thanks Marinette.
Adrien: (on videocall, overlooking the arm-wrestling) All right! In position. Ready. Set. (lowers his arm forward) Go!
Nino: Yaaaaa! (struggles furiously in vain while Nora sits calmly)
Nora: Really? Is that all you got?
Alya: She's gonna rip his arm off. (shakes her head)
Nora: (fake yawns)
Marinette: (gasps) Over there, an akuma! (points past Nora)
Nora: (turns her head to look where Marinette pointed) What?!
(Marinette grabs Nino's and Nora's hands and pulls them towards her, so Nora loses the wrestling.)
"I can't believe you did that Marinette". Adrien says surprised by what happened
"I couldn't let Nore kill Nino, or rip off his arm, or worse make him break up with Alya, because he's unable to protect her"... Mari starts to ramble off possible terrible things that could possibly happen to Nino, and with each other Nino gets paler and paler which is remarkable for his skin tone.
"Girl, stop we get it, besides it looks like you're traumatizing Nino her, we can talk about your cheating habits tonight after dinner". Alya says getting Marinette to stop
"Oh Sorry Nino".
Adrien: And the winner is… Nino!
Marinette: (fake sheepishly) Oops, my bad; it was just a fly.
Nino: Hmm? (looks surprised)
Marinette: You rock, Nino. Come on, let's go. If we leave now we'll get there just in time.
Nora: (punches the table) You're a bunch of cheaters. There's no way I could've been beaten by that fly-weight. If I hadn't been distracted, I—
"There's more than one way to win the battle. Fight's aren't always won with brute strength". Master Fu explains sagely
"Ya try telling that to Nora".
"No thank you I'd rather not test to see if your sister is willing to hit an old man like myself".
"I don't blame you".
Alya: That's it, Nora! You lost the challenge, so deal with it. I've had it with your overprotective big-sis-smothering. I'm going out with my BFFs and I don't care what you think. Alya out. (starts to leave, then motions for Marinette and Nino to follow)
Marinette: Uh, see you, Nora—I mean, Anansi. (chuckles nervously; Nino chuckles too)
(The three of them, with Adrien still on the phone, leave and close the door; Nora growls.)
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair. Hawk Moth's window opens.
Hawk Moth: A big sister with the best of intentions, unappreciated and unwanted — ideal prey for my akumas. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her broken spirit!
Scene: Césaire apartment, Nora's bedroom
Nora: (grumbling) They don't understand. They have no idea of the dangers. They're so clueless.
"Trust me not as clueless as you may think". Alya says seriously
(The Akuma flies through the window and is absorbed into Nora's boxing helmet.)
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Anansi, I am Hawk Moth. They didn't want your support and protection. Well, I'm giving you the power to show them just how dangerous the world really is. In return, you must defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir and bring me their Miraculous.
Nora: Let the match begin, Hawk Moth. (is engulfed by purple and transforms into Anansi)
Scene: Place de la Concorde, Ferris wheel. Marinette, Alya and Nino are in the Ferris wheel, watching the fireworks show. Marinette is holding her phone so Adrien can see, too.
Marinette: Just in time! Look at that!
Alya: Wow! (looks at Nino, who looks sad, and her facial expression shifts to concerned) What's up?
Nino: Oh, ah… nothing.
Adrien: (on videocall) Whoa! It's beautiful, thank you, guys. (suddenly looks shocked) Marinette, behind you! I saw something go by; what was it?
Marinette: (turns around and looks through the window) I don't see anything. Maybe it was a bird.
(Suddenly, the ground shakes and the Ferris wheel stops; Nino gets startled and embraces Alya, who looks very surprised at first.)
Nino: (still embracing Alya) Dude, please don't tell me we're gonna be stuck up here!
"Aww how romantic". Rose coos imagining the two kissing at such a beautiful sight
"If there wasn't an akuma attack I would agree". Alya says with a slight blush
Alya: (her facial expression turns super smug; with a teasing voice-tone) I thought you said you were going to protect us.
Marinette: (gasps) Over there! (Anansi is seen making webs in the center of the Ferris wheel) A supervillain! (Adrien gasps and stands up)
Nino: (sounding terrified) Uh, may-maybe you shouldn't film her, Alya. You don't wanna attract her over here.
Alya: A new scoop for the Ladyblog. Ladybug and Cat Noir should be showing up any minute.
(Both Marinette and Adrien are looking around frantically upon that statement.)
Adrien: (on videocall) Uh… uh… I think my wifi is losing signal. (hangs up; then, in his room, to Plagg) My friends are in danger.
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
Scene continues at the Ferris wheel. Bystanders scream and flee.
Anansi: (climbs up to the window of her sister's and friends' cabin) Well, well. There you are, fly-weights.
Marinette, Alya and Nino: (in unison) Nora?!
Anansi: Nora's not here to protect you anymore. I am Anansi, super-spider. (picks up the cabin they were riding in, jumps down from the Ferris wheel and throws the cabin on the ground)
"This isn't going to be pretty". Jagged says worried just how much the spider rockers punches got powered up
Cat Noir: (to Anansi) All those arms, that's convenient, but you destroyed my scratching post.
Anansi: Need a hand, kitty cat? (leaps down and begins fighting Cat Noir)
Alya: (trapped inside the cabin) Nora… no!
Anansi: You're no match for me, kitten. (after a little bit of fighting, Anansi grabs hold of Cat Noir's ankle and throws him against the center of the Ferris wheel; she punches at Cat Noir there and the Ferris wheel starts wobbling; she jumps back down to the ground) Go fetch the Ferris wheel.
(Cat Noir gasps and sees the Ferris wheel come loose and start rolling; he chases away after it. Anansi jumps to the trio, who have escaped in the interim, and grabs hold of Alya.)
Anansi: Now that you can't cheat anymore, cappie, show us just how you plan to protect your friends. (laughs, and jumps up atop the Obélisque de Louxor) Come and get her if you're not a fly-weight!
Nino: (groans) Alya! (runs after Anansi when she leaps away with Alya)
Marinette: Nino! (runs after Nino as Anansi is seen running backwards atop cars, spitting webbing behind her; in the distant background the Ferris wheel continues rolling) Nino, wait!
Nino: (to Marinette) I'm not a fly-weight and I don't need your help to prove it! (continues running)
"Nino I love you, but please don't be suicidal, by going after my akumatized sister". Alya says holding Nino's hand tightly
"Now you know how I feel whenever you after an akuma for your blog babe".
"Oh wow, no wonder you guys make such a big deal about my safety".
Marinette: (hides behind a car) Tikki, I think I messed up; we've gotta stop Nino...and save Alya!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: (unhappily) Tikki, spots on! Ah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
(Meanwhile, Cat Noir is running in front of the Ferris wheel, which is rolling towards the Seine. He spots two lion statues and throws his staff to span between their mouths and stop the wheel just in time; afterwards, he helps civilians out of the Ferris wheel.)
Female civilian: Thank you, Cat Noir.
Ladybug: You do pretty well without me, I see.
Cat Noir: Yup, but it's so much nicer when you're here, M'Lady.
"Not to mention, I am the only one who can purify the Akuma's".
Ladybug: Let's go show that spider what two superheroes are capable of! Ha!
(Ladybug and Cat Noir take off toward Anansi, flying over Nino, who is crawling on the street, trying to avoid cobwebs; then he sees Alya stuck to a spiderweb in the Arc de Triomphe.)
Nino: Alya! (starts running towards her)
Alya: Nino, don't stick around.
Anansi: Well, well, well. Look who it is.
Nino: (out of breath) Anansi! You let Alya go right now! (panting)
Anansi: Oh yeah? (jumps down to Nino) And how exactly is a weak little fly-weight gonna force me to release my prisoner?
"I don't know I don't have superpowers like you guys". Nino says unsure about what he can do in this situation.
"Yet, you don't have powers yet remember that Nino". Alya says trying to cheer Nino up.
"Ya this could be your big premiere episode for your hero identity". Adrien adds looking over to Luminous for help, but Wayzz makes his way over to help.
"Don't worry Nino, with or without super powers you have a warriors heart, and that's all that matters". Wayyz says reassuring his chosen.
"You're right guys thanks".
(Nino gulps, after which his expression turns angry. He runs towards Anansi, yelling, but Anansi stops him; she picks him up with one hand and throws him through the air; Ladybug sees him and grabs him out of the air with her yo-yo.)
Ladybug: Watch out! You need to leave this to the professionals. (lowers Nino to the ground, then leaps off)
Nino: (runs back as soon as he hits the ground again) This isn't over, spider!
Anansi: (Ladybug and Cat Noir land in front of Anansi) So it's two versus one now? Fine with me! Round two… fight! (hits Cat Noir and sends him flying across the square against the side of a car)
Ladybug: Cat Noir! (runs towards him)
Anansi: On the floor already? We just started! (does three-armed air-punches)
Ladybug: Are you okay? (extends hand for Cat Noir to grab)
Cat Noir: Everything except my pride.
"But that isn't anything new". Alix chimes in
"BURN"!(okay you all should know who this is by now)
Ladybug: The Akuma must be in her headgear.
Cat Noir: Yeah, but she's so strong we can't even get near her.
Ladybug: Okay, change of plan. I take care of Anansi, you release the prisoner; it'll distract her enough to drop her guard.
Cat Noir: Look out! (embraces Ladybug to push her out of the way of a flying car; they land on the ground in an embrace)
Anansi: (holding up another car) Ding, ding, ding, bell's ringin'! Round three. FIGHT! (hurls the car at the heroes, who leap separately out of the way)
(Ladybug fights with Anansi, dodging her every move; Cat Noir climbs up the spider web, and notices his suit sticks to the web as well)
Cat Noir: Huh? Seriously? (tries to pull himself loose, succeeds but gets hopelessly stuck against his back thanks to the recoil) Oh… uh… M'Lady? I think I got myself into a sticky situation.
"Dude not the time for a bad pun".
"Hey my Puns are clawsome"!
Groans could be heard throughout the room
Anansi: Looks like I've already got a catch. You'll be next, beetle.
Ladybug: I don't think so! (attacks with her yo-yo, but it gets caught and she gets flung across the street; she finds her foot stuck on a piece of cobweb)
Anansi: (creeping up to Cat Noir) You're like a cat caught in a spider's web.
Cat Noir: Technically speaking, spiders don't actually eat cats.
Anansi: I suggest we make an exception for you, kitty cat.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Anansi, grab his Miraculous from him.
(Cat Noir tries to hit her with his staff, but she catches it and throws it to the ground. It lands next to Ladybug.)
Nino: Are you okay, dude—uh, I mean, Ladybug?
Ladybug: Yeah, but we're gonna need some help! Lucky Charm! (A square candle appears) A candle? (gasps) Of course! But I don't have enough time to do a round trip.
Nino: Maybe I could help you? (Ladybug gasps) Uh, I get it. It's cool. I'm no superhero. I'd tried to save Alya, but… guess I'm not strong enough.
Ladybug: Let me tell you a secret, uh… (picks up Cat Noir's staff)
"Girl you know his name, you're just pretending". Alya says elbowing Mari's side.
"Hey I gotta keep my identity secret somehow".
Nino: Nino. The name's Nino.
Ladybug: Nino. When you're facing a supervillain, strength doesn't make a difference. Courage and determination do. (gives Nino Cat Noir's staff) We can't let Anansi get Cat Noir's Miraculous. Use this to defend yourself and distract her. I won't be long. (leaps away with her yo-yo; Nino looks amazed)
"Nino do you know how to use my staff"? Adrien asks nervously
"Nope, but there is such a thing as learning on the job. I mean isn't that how you and Marinette learned to be heroes"? Nino asked reminding them of Stone Heart
"Fair point".
(Anansi is pulling on Cat Noir's leather ears, causing him to groan in pain.)
Anansi: Where did you hide your earrings, kitty cat?
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Anansi, the earrings are Ladybug's Miraculous! (pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration) Ugh, Cat Noir's magic jewel is a ring!
Anansi: Why didn't you just say so?
Nino: Hey arachnid!
Anansi: Ah, so you're back, cappie?
Ladybug: (a few buildings away) I trust you, Nino. (leaps away)
Scene: Master Fu's massage shop. A candle resembling the Lucky Charm is seen. Master Fu is sitting cross-legged on the mattress.
Marinette: (enters the room with Tikki) Master, Nino won't hold off Anansi for long. She's about to get a hold of Cat Noir's Miraculous!
Master Fu: We can't let that happen. (opens the gramophone to get the Miracle Box; he places the box on the floor before Marinette and opens it) Marinette Dupain-Cheng, pick an ally you can trust to fight alongside you on this mission. Choose wisely; such power's on hand to serve a greater good. Once the mission is over, you must retrieve the Miraculous from them.
Marinette: (thoughtfully) I need a protective Miraculous. (gasps, and points at the Turtle Miraculous Master Fu is wearing) That's the one I need, Master! (Master Fu gasps) Uh, if it's okay with you.
"This is your hero Debut episode Nino, I can't wait to see how you do". Alya says pecking Nino on the cheek
"I hope I do a good job to save you then Babe".
Master Fu: (smiles at Wayzz, who nods to him) Do you have someone in mind, Marinette? (takes off the bracelet; Wayzz flies back inside it)
Marinette: (takes the Miraculous and holds it up) Actually, I think I found just the right person.
(Tikki swallows the macaron she has been munching on.)
Scene: Arc de Triomphe. Nino is still fighting Anansi using Cat Noir's staff.
Anansi: (teasing Nino) Wow, be careful. What are you trying to do with that little stick?
Cat Noir: (to Nino) On your left; no, on your right. No, the other right!
Anansi: (grabs the staff) You're gonna hurt yourself.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Anansi, enough toying with your prey. Concentrate on seizing Cat Noir's Miraculous!
(Anansi throws Nino on the ground.)
Alya: Nino!
(Nino extends Cat Noir's staff and hits Anansi on the head and knocks her off her feet.)
Nino: So, who's the fly-weight now, huh?
Anansi: All right, big boy. (punches the ground next to Nino, which sends him flying; she kicks him a few more times) I suggest you stay down, cappie. (Nino presses a button on the staff, which extends it and hits Anansi underside the chin) You're gonna regret this, big time!
Nino: You shouldn't have underestimated me, legs. (charges again)
"Wow and I thought Hawkmoth was bad at nicknames". Kim jokes
"HEY"!
Cat Noir: (to Alya) Your friend's good at this.
Alya: Yeah, but I sure hope Ladybug comes back before he gets bad at it.
Anansi: (grabs Nino) Game over. Time to fly, lightweight! (sends Nino hurtling, screaming, through the air)
(Nino gets caught mid-air by Ladybug, who sets down with him upon a low building.)
Nino: Thanks, Ladydude—uh, I mean, Ladybug.
"You can call me Ladydude Nino I don't mind". Marinette says to a now back to normal color Nino.
"Sure can do Ladydude".
Ladybug: Thanks for dropping by...dude. (fist-bumps Nino's shoulder)
Anansi: (crawling up to Cat Noir and grabbing his ring-wielding hand with her left hand while bracing herself with her right, and reaching for his ring with another left hand, to Cat Noir's alarm) It's just you and me, kitty cat.
Cat Noir: Hey, spider, guess what. Cataclysm!
"That's a smart way to keep her from touching your miraculous". Max says thinking it over, while Alix snorts.
"Ya but it only will work for 5 minutes, after that the transformation will drop, and on top of his identity getting revealed, Hawkdaddy will learn his son has been running around in a Kinky leather catsuit, helping defeat his akumas". Alix adds in the obvious
"IT'S NOT KINKY"!
"Keep telling yourself that dade".
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) No! Don't touch his ring; it's charged with destructive energy!
Anansi: Hey, make up your mind, Mothy; I couldn't care less about his Miraculous. You're the one who's been nagging me about it all evening.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Cat Noir has called on his power but he can't use it. Just be patient and wait for him to transform back. Then the ring will be uncharged once again and you'll be able to take it from him.
Anansi: (uninterestedly) Whatever, if you say so. (leans back to rest against the web upside-down and wait)
Cat Noir: (to no one in particular) Hurry up, Ladybug.
Ladybug: (to Nino) I'm gonna need your help again. Do you still wanna save your friend?
Nino: (looks determined) I'll do anything for her.
"You mean you became a hero to save me"? Alya asks, getting a little choked up at the fact.
"Of course babe I'll do anything to save you". Nino says pulling Alya closer
Ladybug: Nino Lahiffe, (holds out a wooden jewelry box) this is the Miraculous of the turtle, which grants the power of protection. You will use it for the greater good.
Nino: (takes the jewelry box and opens it; a green orb of light emerges and floats around him until it turns into Wayzz) Whoa, dude!
Wayzz: Hello, my name is Wayzz.
Nino: Hey little guy, what are you, a genie like in those fairy tales?
"Hey that's basically the same thing I said when I met Plagg". Adrien says reminiscing of when he meet his little cheese glutton
"I guess we think alike dude".
Wayzz: I am a kwami. I can't grant wishes, but I can give you super powers.
Ladybug: Once the job is done, you must return the Miraculous to me. Can I trust you?
Nino: You bet, dudette.
Wayzz: Then all you have to say is: "Wayzz, shell on!"
[Transformation Sequence]
Nino: Wayzz, shell on! (Nino transforms into Carapace)
"I forgot how cool your transformation sequins is Nino". Alix says watching the teen breakdance transform.
"As much as I hate to admit it, you do have the most exceptional transformation of the boys Nino. Of course Moi has the best female transformation". Chloe says with a flip of her hair
"Uhh thanks Chloe I think"?
Carapace: (laughs) That's crazy!
Ladybug: Stay focused! We have to hurry before Cat Noir transforms back. And we need him to save Alya. Lucky Charm! (Boxing gloves appear)
Carapace: Boxing gloves? You're not gonna fight Anansi directly, are you?
(Ladybug uses her Lucky Vision; it highlights Carapace, the Arc de Triomphe and Cat Noir.)
Ladybug: Why not? It's a simple plan, but you have to protect us — me, Cat Noir and Alya. (puts a hand on Carapace's shoulder) You've already proved you're capable of doing it.
"That has to be the most straight forward plan I've ever seen". Max says amazed the plan isn't over complicated like normal
(Carapace smiles and nods; Ladybug nods back and they jump down and run towards the Arc de Triomphe.)
Carapace: Hey, six-hands! Catch this! (throws his shield at Anansi, who dodges it by jumping down to the ground)
Anansi: (to Ladybug) Change of pet? You replaced your kitty with a turtle?
Ladybug: I love animals, but I'm not into spiders. Ha! (throws yo-yo)
"Same". Luminous calls out from her seat
Anansi: Ha! Missed me.
Ladybug: Did I? (wraps her yo-yo cord around the pillars of the Arc de Triomphe, making a makeshift boxing ring in the interior; meanwhile Carapace is fighting Anansi; Ladybug steps into the ring, wearing the boxing gloves) Anansi! I challenge you. One round. You win, you get my Miraculous. I win, you release your prisoners. What do you have to lose? (Cat Noir's ring beeps frantically) In a few minutes, Cat Noir will transform back anyway.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Don't listen to her; it's a trap!
Anansi: Don't worry, butterfly man, this nasty bug ain't no match for Anansi. (touches hand-to-glove with Ladybug) I'll devour you, li'l nasty bug.
(Carapace strikes Cat Noir's staff on his own shield, making the sound of a boxing-round bell.)
Anansi: One punch will be enough.
Ladybug: (dodges Anansi's hits) You can't punch the wind. (stands in the corner of the ring)
Anansi: It's over. (tries to hit Ladybug, misses and instead punches one of the pillars of the Arc de Triomphe, causing it to crack)
Ladybug: One punch, huh? Well, maybe if you could actually land one.
"Smart gets her angry, she'll start attacking blindly and make mistakes". Kagami says analyzing the fight
"If you say so". Luka says trying see it
Anansi: Shut up!
Ladybug: (still dodging) Why, do you have trouble doing two things at the same time? (goes into another corner; Anansi tries to hit her, but misses and cracks another pillar)
Anansi: (growls) Stay still!
(The pillar-cracking scenario repeats itself three more times; the Arc begins to crumble.)
Ladybug: (giggles) You're so weak that when you're shadow-boxing, your shadow wins!
Anansi: Shadow THIS! (kicks Ladybug back against the wires of the boxing ring) You can't win this fight, so give up and give me your Miraculous!
Ladybug: You wish.
(Ladybug leans into the wires and walks backwards, causing the wires to cut into the pillars of the Arc, in turn causing the weakened Arc to collapse. Anansi's leg gets caught under a heavy block of stone.)
"Thank God for the miraculous Ladybug or else Paris would be out of several national monuments". Sabine says watching the monument turn to rubble
"And several people might be dead, or seriously injured as well". Tom adds in as it sets in just how much they rely on the miraculous cure.
Ladybug: (grabs Carapace and hauls the two of them up to the web) It's all up to you, Captain Turtle. (throws Carapace up to Alya before going to Cat Noir; then, to Carapace) Use your power now!
Carapace: At your service, dude— (Alya looks surprised, then suspicious) Uh, Ladybug. (holds up his shield) Shellter! Shiaaah!
"Oh no you figured out my identity didn't you"? Nino asks knowing his girlfriend
"Most likely".
"How? You know what I'm not questioning it"
"That's the smart thing to do Nino".
(A big glowing green ball appears around the foursome; the ball falls down; from a distance is seen how the Arc collapses completely. Carapace de-activates the Shellter; Alya stares up at him with awe while Cat Noir sees her and Carapace)
Cat Noir: (to Ladybug) You're not really replacing me with a turtle, are you? (he pouts)
"Hey he's my Turtle and I'm not sharing him".
"That's fine, I much prefer my Kitty".
(The debris rumbles and Anansi emerges.)
Ladybug: Not now, kitty. (hurls Cat Noir toward Anansi) Throw like a ladybug, scratch like a cat!
(Cat Noir touches the boxing helmet; it disintegrates and breaks to pieces; the akuma emerges)
"You just love throwing your boyfriend don't you"? Alix asks with a smirk
"I only try to limit doing it in battle".
Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (captures the akuma) Gotcha! (releases the now-purified butterfly) Bye-bye little butterfly. (throws the boxing gloves into the air) Miraculous Ladybug!
(The Miraculous Cure spreads itself throughout the city, repairing the Ferris wheel and the Arc de Triomphe, and cleansing the streets of cobwebs; Anansi is detransformed into Nora.)
Nora: The Beetle and Mister Whiskers? What's going on here?
(Ladybug holds her fist up to fist-bump; Cat Noir is about to reciprocate when his Miraculous beeps.)
Cat Noir: Uh, sorry, guys, but I've gotta split. (starts to run off)
Ladybug: Cat Noir! (Cat Noir stops) You know you're irreplaceable.
Cat Noir: (smiles and nods) Mm-hmm. (runs off)
Ladybug and Carapace: (fistbump) Pound it!
"Hey Nino". Marinette says drawing in Nino's attention
"Yhea"? He asks and instead of answering right away she holds up a fist to him.
"Pound it"? With a smile Nino meets his first with hers
"Pound it"!
Alya: Whoa, this is a first for the Ladyblog. A brand new superhero! What's your name?
Carapace: Uh… (seen on the Ladyblog, looks questioningly to Ladybug, who just smiles back) Huh… Carapace. Call me Carapace.
Ladybug: (likewise on the Ladyblog) See you later, bugheads. (runs off; Carapace follows; they both take off with Ladybug's yo-yo)
Alya: (to her camera) And stay connected.
Scene: Random alleyway.
Carapace: (unseen) Shell off. (detransforms)
Nino: (now in view, handing his Miraculous box to Ladybug) Thank you for trusting me.
Ladybug: You were a true superhero, Nino.
Nino: (scratches the side of his head) Uhh…
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: You're gaining more allies, Ladybug, but don't rush to rejoice. Soon you might just be outnumbered. (laughs evilly)
"Good luck with that". Chloe says knowing how this season finally went
(The window closes.)
Scene: Place de la Concorde. Alya and Nora are walking together; Nino comes running towards them. Marinette runs towards them as well.
Nino: (out of breath) Hey, you okay? You weren't too scared, were you?
Alya: I'm fine. I saw that you tried to save me.
Nino: Uhm. Actually… no, I didn't do much. It's not like I'm a superhero or anything. (laughs uncomfortably)
Alya: (whispering to Nino) I know perfectly well what you're like.
(Nino laughs extremely uncomfortably.)
Nora: Fly-weights! (sighs) Truth is…I did lose the match…and my cool. Sorry about everything that went down.
Marinette: Nor—uuh, uuh, Anansi. I...actually...you didn't lose the game.
Nora: Huh?
Marinette: I helped Nino to win by distracting you. I'm sorry.
"At least you owned up to your mistake". Alya says pleased Marinette learned her lesson.
Nora: Hey! We're cool, Marinette. (holds her hand out; Marinette takes it and Nora pulls her into a head-lock/hug) It's no big deal. (grabs Nino and head-locks him, too) Cappie proved that he doesn't need muscles to be strong.
Alya: (joins the hug and chuckles; to Nora) Want a scoop? You're the best.
Nino: What if Nora came with us to the ice rink next weekend? It'd be more fun with her, don't you think?
Alya: You're right, Nino. Besides, I don't even remember the last time I hung out with my big sis.
"You only have one biological family, so enjoy your time with them while it lasts". Fu suggests
"You're right Master I'll be sure to do that more when we get back home". Alya says excited to hang out with Nora more often
(The endcard shows Marinette and Nino ice-skating and Alya supporting a very uncomfortable-looking Nora on ice skates.)
"And That was Anasi. I hope you enjoyed it". Luminous said, stopping the episode.
"Hey how many more episodes before we turn in for the night". Jagged asks curious
"About 2 more before dinner, now who wants to pick next"? Luminous asks, holding out her top hat.
"Hey Nino, since you were the man of the episode, how about you pick"? Alix suggests
"Uhh sure thing dudette". Nino says going to pick an episode out of the hat.
"The next episode is"...
