Scene: . A video of in Paris is being viewed.
Alya: Don't blink now, 'cause we are live from Paris. Yo peeps, Alya here, bringing you the one and only Ladyblog. (Helicopter noises) Huh? What is that? (Ladybug flies by, hanging on to her yo-yo, tied to a helicopter. She drops a .) . Ladybug in action. Hang on 'cause we're going for a ride. (Alya runs over and picks up the book.) Freak out! What you got here is no ordinary book, it's a tenth grade history book. And I should know, 'cause I've got this very same book. Could our very own Ladybug be a high school student, (zoom out to reveal the Ladyblog website, which is watching the video from) in real life? Whoa!
Alya: I WAS RIGHT!
Marinette: I told you from day one Tikki, I'm a total klutz!
Tikki: What's done is done; we can't change what happened. We can only move forward. Alya must not find out who you are. You know how persistent she can be with her blog totally dedicated to Ladybug.
Marinette: But how? Maybe I'm not cut out for this whole Ladybug thing.
Tikki: You are the chosen one, Marinette. It will all work out, trust me. Everyone has a past they can learn from. (Tikki types on the computer, bringing up a page on Egyptian pharaohs.) This will show you why.
Marinette: An exhibition at the Louvre? On the pharaoh Tutankhamun? What does that have to do with my book and Alya?
Alya: That's what I asked you
Tikki: You must persuade Alya to go there with you, and make sure she brings the book. You'll tell her you found out something about Ladybug.
Marinette: At the museum?
Tikki: You'll see!
Alya: So you didn't know what we were looking for either?
Marinette: Nope!
Marinette: Well, I don't know how I'm gonna convince Alya to go to an Egyptian exhibit, much less convince her that I'm not Ladybug!
Tikki: She will be interested, and so will you. Promise .
Scene: . Alya and Marinette are going into the Louvre museum.
Alya: Can you believe it? All I gotta do is find to do who this history book belongs to and BAM, I figure out Ladybug's true identity! I'm so on this one!
Marinette: You really think you could figure out who Ladybug is from a textbook that every high school student owns?
Alya: Yep. 'Cause our school is the only school that uses that book! HA! So, all I gotta do is find out which girl in tenth grade lost her history book last week. There are forty-three girls, not counting myself-
Marinette: Forty-two! Not count you... or me.
Kim: Wowww
Marinette: I tried
Alya: (elbows Marinette) Hmm, yesterday somebody didn't have their textbook in class.
Marinette: (worried) Uh- I left it at home. You know how I always forget my stuff.
Alya:...and I believed you?
Alya: Hmm... (chuckles) Just messing with you, Marinette. Of course I'll only drop you from my investigation when you bring your history book back to class.
( runs between Alya and Marinette carrying a folder full of papers. He pushes past them and trips, papers flying everywhere. His falls, and he picks it up.)
Jalil: It's not broken!
Alya: (annoyed) Uh, I'm okay too, thanks for asking.
Alix: Yikes... that's my brother
Jalil: I'm sorry. Hey, you're in the same grade as Alix, right? I'm her older brother, Jalil Kubdel. So you're into Tutankhamun too? (looks up) Dad!
Alya: Weird. So again girl, why are we here? This exhibit's got something to do with Ladybug? For reals?
Marinette: Well, uh... (She looks at Tikki in her purse. Tikki points at an Egyptian papyrus.) Yeah, it's over there. (She takes Alya over to it. They look at it, Marinette trying to see the significance, Alya looking bored.)
Scene: . is watching the same video from the Ladyblog shown earlier.
Alya: Hang on, 'cause we're going for a ride. Freak out! What you got here is no ordinary book, it's a tenth grade history book. And I should know, 'cause I've got this very same book. Could our very own Ladybug be a high school student, in real life?
Adrien: That's crazy! What are the odds that we have the same textbook? Maybe we even go to the same school!
: Don't you think you know her then? (eats his cheese) Why bother yourself with ladies when you could be enjoying this?
Adrien: For one, ladies smell about a thousand times better than that cheese. And they're much better-looking.
Plagg: Suit yourself. Your loss.
Adrien: My only loss is my appetite.
Scene: . Marinette and Alya are still at the exhibition.
Alya: Come on, tell me what it is already!
Marinette: No, no, cause... it wouldn't be a surprise then... (under her breath) for you or me.
Alya: Some reporter I am, I didn't even hear that!
Marinette: I said it quietly for a reason
(Marinette and Tikki look at an ancient Egyptian papyrus)
Jalil: I'm telling you, father, it's right there in the hieroglyphics. (He pushes Marinette aside.) Excuse me. There, as you know, the one with the scepter is Tutankhamun, the first. And there, opposite is Nefertiti, his princess. There are exactly one hundred mummies beside them. She died several years before him, and the sun god Ra took her as his goddess.
Mr. Kubdel: Yes, I know all that. I'm the director of this exhibition, remember?
Jalil: Then you also know that Tutankhamun wanted to bring his princess back to life, by offering the sun god a new wife. This seemed to illustrate the ritual he devised. Nobody has ever fully deciphered the hieroglyphics, but I have! It's a magic chant that needs to be recited in order to complete the ritual! I'm sure of it!
Marinette: He kinda reminds me of someone else with crazy ideas... you!
Alya: You might think my theories about Ladybug are crazy, but you watch, girl, I'll prove you wrong.
Mr. Kubdel: Jalil, these types of frescoes are almost always the illustration for a legend. They called it a legend for a reason...
Jalil: That's what everyone thinks. But I know it's real. I can prove it!
Mr. Kubdel: Really? Exactly how are you going to prove it?
Jalil: I just need to get my hands on Tutankhamun's scepter and recite the spell!
Mr. Kubdel: Are you serious? Don't even think of touching that scepter. I'd lose my job on the spot. It's a priceless historical object! Not a toy!
Jalil: Come on, dad! We have to try out the spell! What if Tutankhamun had found out how to bring people back to life?
Mr. Kubdel: Listen, Jalil! That's enough! Get your head out of those papyrus scrolls and focus on the real world! This one! (He leaves. Jalil drops his papers, looking sad.)
Scene: .
HM: There's nothing wrong with living out a fantasy. Especially when I can make it a reality. (turns a butterfly into an ) Fly away, my evil akuma, and transform that young man!
Scene: Louvre. Marinette and Alya are still at the exhibition. Marinette tries to figure out the significance of the symbols.
Marinette: Uhhh... ahhh...
(Alya yawns and takes the history book out of her bag.)
Marinette: Gah! Put that down! I'm gonna show you the secret I found out about Ladybug!
Alya: 'Bout time. This better be blog-worthy.
Scene: Outside the Louvre. Jalil is upset, and an akuma flies into his .
Hawk Moth: Pharaoh, I am Hawk Moth. I have endowed you with the magical power of the ancient gods. You must do me a favor in return for this gift.
Jalil: My precious Nefertiti will come back to life! (Jalil turns into the Pharaoh)
Scene: Louvre. Marinette and Alya are still looking at the papyrus.
Marinette: Uhhh.. ahhh...
Alya: This thing's making my eyes hurt. (She starts to get her book out again, but Marinette stops her.)
Alya: Why didn't you let me open the book?
Marinette:... my name was in there
The whole class laughs
Alya: WHAT? AND I MISSED THAT?
Marinette: yep
Marinette: Look closely! It is in there. (sees the Pharaoh) Huh?
Museum employee: (blows a whistle) Hey, you!
The Pharaoh: Thoth, give me time! (His face changes. He traps the employee and the civilians in golden bubbles. Marinette and Alya avoid one. Alya grins and gets out her smartphone.)
Marinette: Alya, hide!
The Pharaoh: Get out of here, faster! (The bubbles fly out of the room.)
(Marinette hides from the Pharaoh)
Marinette: Time to transform!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug.)
Alya: (whispering, recording a video on her phone) OMG. Coming to you live, Ladyblog viewers, I'm at the scene even before Ladybug or Cat Noir! This is insane!
Marinette: Nope
The scene shifts to Adrien's room. Adrien and Plagg are watching Alya's video. Adrien is shocked.
Plagg: Wow! I love the face changes! You could use that one!
Alya: He's right sunshine, you only have like 4 different faces
Adrien: HEY!
Adrien: Time to transform!
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir.)
Scene: Louvre. The Pharaoh steals the scepter and the papyrus.
(Ladybug slides under a gate just as it closes.)
Ladybug: You know that's considered stealing.
The Pharaoh: Actually, I'm taking back what rightfully belongs to me.
Ladybug: Maybe if you were the real Pharaoh, which you're not!
Alya: Look at Ladybug go! If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up! (Ladybug shoos her.) Ladybug waved at me! No way!
Marinette: I was telling you to leave before you get hurt!
Alya: oh
(Ladybug uses her yo-yo to attack the Pharaoh, but he grabs the yo-yo and swings Ladybug away, making her crash into a wall.)
The Pharaoh: Sekhmet, give me your strength! (His face changes. He uses his strength to bend the bars, but Cat Noir appears.)
Cat Noir: How nice of you to hold the door open for me! (He attacks the Pharaoh, but the Pharaoh grabs him and throws him into a coffin.)
The Pharaoh: Enjoy your coffin! (laughs)
Alya: (recording Ladybug as she tries to open the coffin) This is hecka crazy! Keep your eyes peeled! (sees the Pharaoh standing over her) Hiya!
Alix: Hecka
Kim: Hecka
Nino: Hecka
Marinette: Hecka
Alya: Hey, I had to keep it 1000% clean for the Ladyblog
The Pharaoh: (Places his hands on Alya's face) Your face. Fate has placed you on my path. Come with me! (He slings her over his shoulder and walks out.)
Alya: Hey! Hands off the threads. I can walk myself!
Ladybug: (sighs) Seriously?! (throws opens the coffin and runs after the Pharaoh) Let her go!
Cat Noir: Hiding behind an innocent bystander! You're weak, Pharaoh!
The Pharaoh: I'm way more powerful than you are. (He uses his strength to close the bars and walks away)
Alya: (slightly nervous) And don't forget! All the latest behind-the-scenes are on my blog!
Cat Noir: That Alya is one brave chick.
Ladybug: If by brave, you mean bossy, feisty, and bold? Yup, that's her! Come on, get us out of here, Cat Noir!
Alya: Well you're not wrong
Cat Noir: ! (uses his Cataclysm to break the bars) How are we gonna find them?
Ladybug: Alya's got a livestream on her blog! (Plays the video from the screen of her yo-yo)
Alya: (from video) Hi, everyone! Alya here, liveblogging from the shoulder of the terrifying villain! Huge scoop to come, stay tuned!
Cat Noir: (his Miraculous blinks) Uhh, you go ahead. I'll join you as soon as my Miraculous is charged up again.
Ladybug: Hurry up. It's gonna take both of us to defeat him. (They run separate ways)
