(Outside the Louvre, the Pharaoh throws Alya to the ground.)
Alya: Hey!
The Pharaoh: On to the next phase. Anubis, bring me mummies! (His face morphs again. Beams of light shoot from his eyes, transforming civilians into mummies.) Soon, we'll be together again, my Nefertiti! My long-lost love!
Alya: This is gonna be one major scoop! (She taps the Pharaoh on the shoulder.) Uh, excuse me, Pharaoh, but, uh, what exactly is going on?
Nino: Someday, someday an akuma is gonna get you
Marinette: It really is dangerous
Alya: I know... that was stupid
The Pharaoh: I'm going to carry out the secret spell, to bring Nefertiti back!
Alya: Ahh, hmmm. Gotcha! You're talking about the spell on the papyrus, right?
The Pharaoh: Correct! The one hundred mummies and the offering!
Alya: Offering. What offering?
The Pharaoh: To persuade the sun god Ra to give me my sweet princess, I must give him something in return. A pure soul!
Alya: Dude, that's hard to come by.
The Pharaoh: But I've already found her! You look so much like her!
Alya: Say what?!
The Pharaoh: (laughs)
(Zoom out to Ladybug watching the video on her yo-yo.)
Ladybug: Hold on, Alya! (Ladybug runs into a time bubble, which traps her.) Whoa! Oh, no, I ran right into one of those time bubbles! (Outside view; her voice is in slow motion)"I've got to get out of this!"
Marinette: Ugh that was annoying
Alya: (from video) Ladybug, this is Alya! I just found out I'm the sacrificial offering to the sun god! Please hurry!
Ladybug: Hold on, Alya. (Outside view as she starts running inside the bubble; slow motion)"I'm nearly there!"
Alya: Yeah, right
(Cut to Adrien checking his cellphone and Plagg is eating camembert at the Louvre.)
Plagg: Oh, do you seriously think this mumbo-jumbo with the sun and mummy stuff is gonna work? (Adrien is mad at Plagg)
Adrien: You have no respect. Your batteries are charged up enough!
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir.)
(Cat Noir arrives and bursts the time bubble Ladybug is trapped in.)
Ladybug: Whoa! (Cat Noir catches her)
Cat Noir: Thanks for waiting around for me!
Marinette: Not like I had a choice...
Ladybug: No problem! We've gotta find the hidden akuma and free it before he sacrifices that poor girl!
(They arrive at the front door, and see rows of mummies.)
Ladybug: I don't see her or Pharaoh.
(They reach the roof.)
Cat Noir: Over there!
Scene: Outside the Louvre. The ritual is about to begin.
Alya: (sees a figure in the papyrus) Whoa, back up! Who's that goddess chick with the black spots! There, on your papyrus!
The Pharaoh: Ladybug, my sworn enemy! My nemesis may have kept me from carrying out my ritual 5000 years ago, but she will not stop Nefertiti from coming back to me this time!
Marinette: So that's why Tikki sent me there
Alya: Did you say... Ladybug 5000 years ago?!
(Ladybug and Cat Noir are shown watching the video, surprised.)
Ladybug: Everyone does have a past they can learn from.
Cat Noir: Well, you don't look a day over 3000.
Ladybug: Now you know why I'm so much wiser than you. Hm!
The class laughed while Adrien pouted
The Pharaoh: (starting the ritual) Oh, sacred Ra, god of the sun, I Pharaoh, offer to thee a pure soul! The sacrifice for the return of Nefertiti! (The Louvre pyramid lights up, and as he speaks, it shoots a beam into the sky that starts spreading darkness.) I bow to you, and present this gift with my mummies! In company, we pray to you the safe return of princess Nefertiti! Awaken, Nefertiti! Awaken! Awaken, Nefertiti! Awaken!
Mummies: Awaken, Nefertiti... Awaken...
Alya: (as the mummies carry her toward the pyramid) Ladybug!
Ladybug: We've gotta save her before he completes the ritual, or Alya will be gone, forever!
Cat Noir: What should we do?
Ladybug: Hold back the mummies while I take on the Pharaoh.
Cat Noir: Why do I have to deal with these freaks while you get to slip calmly round back?
Ladybug: Because I'm the only one who can capture his akuma, and because you are the bravest one out of both of us! (winks)
Alya: mmhm
Cat Noir: Sure.
(Ladybug swings away.)
Cat Noir: I know you don't really think that, but I'll pretend you do.
Marinette: I mean,,,
Mummies: Awaken, Nefertiti, Awaken... Awaken, Nefertiti, Awaken...
Cat Noir: Hey there, you bunch of bandages! What do you say we wrap this up!
Alya: Cat Noir!
The Pharaoh: Seize him! (The mummies run after him.)
Cat Noir: Is that really as fast as you can go? (He jumps between lamps.)
The Pharaoh: Wait, this looks... like a trap!
(Ladybug swings down and grabs Alya.)
Ladybug: Gotcha!
The Pharaoh: Horus, give me your wings!
Alya: (recording) Peeps, you just witnessed another insane feat from Ladybug! Thanks for saving my butt!
Ladybug: Oh, uh, you're welcome. But it's not over yet. Not until-
Alya: Not until Ladybug destroys the pendant containing the akuma, and turns everything back to normal! I pay attention.
Ladybug: The pendant! Good eye!
Alya: You're welcome
Alya: (sees the Pharaoh flying in behind Ladybug) Ahhh!
(The Pharaoh knocks Ladybug off the roof, but she uses her yo-yo to land safely.)
Alya: Way to go, Ladybug! (The Pharaoh lands behind her and throws her phone away.) No! (Ladybug catches the phone.)
The Pharaoh: You're not going to win this time, Ladybug!
Alya: Help me, Ladybug!
The Pharaoh: Crush that insect!
(Ladybug is surrounded by mummies. She witnesses Alya being thrown onto the beam of light and carried upward.)
Cat Noir: What the? (He sees three mummies about to throw a car at him, but Ladybug wraps her yo-yo around his ankle and pulls him to safety.)
Ladybug: Cat Noir! This way!
(Ladybug runs onto a bus. The mummies follow her on, and she exits. Cat Noir turns the bus on its side.)
Ladybug: We have to save Alya before she reaches the circle of darkness!
The Pharaoh: You will not stop me from bringing Nefertiti back! I'll finish you off! Anubis, bring me mummies! (He shoots beams at Ladybug and Cat Noir, but they dodge them. Ladybug uses his yo-yo to grab the Pharaoh, while Cat Noir tries to rescue Alya.)
The Pharaoh: Horus, give me your wings! (He lifts himself and Ladybug into the air. While airborne, Ladybug grabs the Pharaoh's pendant and drops it.)
Ladybug: Cat Noir! The pendant! That's where the akuma is!
(They run for the pendant, but the Pharaoh lands on it.)
The Pharaoh: Sekhmet, give me your strength! (He uses his strength to make a sonic wave that knocks Ladybug and Cat Noir off. The mummies surround them.)
The Pharaoh: (grabs the pendant) It's over.
Alya: (coming closer and closer to the circle of darkness) Ladybug, save me!
The Pharaoh: Oh, Ra, god of the sun, accept this humble offering and return the princess to me!
Ladybug: ! (a appears.) A Ladybug outfit?
Cat Noir: That's our last hope?
(Ladybug uses her thinking vision, and the earrings in the costume appear)
Ladybug: This offering isn't good enough for Nefertiti!
Alya: Hey! Thanks a lot!
Nino: she... she just saved you
Alya: SHE SAID I WASN'T A GOOD SACRIFICE!
The Pharaoh: Too late, Ladybug! The ritual has begun!
Ladybug: Set Alya free and sacrifice me instead! Wouldn't that be the sweetest revenge? 5000 years later! After all, I'm the one who kept Nefertiti from you all these years!
Alya: You're not 5,000 years old, are you?
Marinette: Maybe, maybe not...
The Pharaoh: It's true that you make a much more precious offering than this mortal. (He takes Ladybug's hand.) Horus, give me wings! (He flies with Ladybug up to Alya.)
Alya: Seriously? (The Pharaoh throws her off the beam. She falls, slides down the pyramid, and lands safely on the ground.) Excuse you, but I make excellent sacrificing material!
HM: Take her Miraculous! The earring!
Ladybug: You win, Pharaoh... (She pretends to take off her earring, then tricks the Pharaoh and grabs his pendent.) You want my Miraculous? Go get it! (throws the fake earrings)
Hawk Moth: Get it!
(The Pharaoh grabs them, but he sees they're fake.)
The Pharaoh: A toy? You tricked me!
Adrien: Duh, you didn't even detransform
Alya: How did he miss that?
Ladybug: (She punches the pendant and breaks it, releasing the akuma, then slides down the pyramid and lands on the ground.) No more evil doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (catches the akuma) Gotcha! (turns the akuma into a normal butterfly) Bye bye, little butterfly. ! (She throws the Lucky Charm into the air. It explodes into a blast of energy that turns everything back to normal. The Pharaoh turns back into Jalil.)
Jalil: What happened?
(Ladybug gives Alya her phone back.)
Alya: Thanks, Ladybug! But, uh, I still gotta ask: how old are you, really?
Ladybug: Um, much older than a high school student, that's for sure! (swings away)
Alya: mmhm
Cat Noir: Don't you wanna know how old I am?
Alya: In a sec, looks like I'll be able to tell for myself.
(Cat Noir sees that he is about to turn back, and runs away.)
Alya: (laughs)
Scene: Inside the Louvre. Alya walks back in and sees Marinette.
Alya: Where have you been?
Marinette: You won't believe this! I got mummified!
Alya: AND I BELIEVED THAT?
Marinette: well it was a decent excuse
Alya: Hope you weren't one of the ones trying to swap me for Nefertiti! Creepy!
Marinette: What?! You were almost... sacrificed?
Adrien: you overplayed that
Mari: I had to sell it!
Alya: If it hadn't been for you I'd never have found out that Ladybug is at least 5000 years old!
Marinette: Hey! What are friends for?
(Alya grabs her bag, and they head out.)
Alya: I still don't get it though, what was she doing with that tenth grade history textbook?
Marinette: Uh, she... she probably had to find out what's been going on for the past 50 centuries!
Alya: You're probably right. It's tough staying in the loop. Hey, Ladybug's textbook! It's gone! (Marinette giggles to herself.)
Alya: I WAS AN IDIOT!
Marinette: no arguments here...
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) You might have gotten away this time, but I assure you, Ladybug, some day, wherever you are, I will have your Miraculous, and you'll be nothing! Nothing at all!
'Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette is talking with Tikki.
Marinette: I don't get it. I know I'm not 5000 years old, so... who exactly was that Ladybug in the papyrus?
Tikki: Kwamis like me and superheroes like you have always existed!
Marinette: So...that wasn't you in the papyrus either?
Tikki: What do you think?
Marinette: You don't look 5000 years old.
Tikki: Well, I'm not! I'm older than that! I'm the kwami who's watched over every single Ladybug since the very beginning!
Alya: WHAT
Marinette: You must have known much less klutzy Ladybugs than me, right?
Tikki: Every Ladybug is different.
Marinette: That's what I thought.
Tikki: Marinette, you are different. But different as in surprising, unpredictable and endearing. And very talented. You learn fast.
Marinette: Really?
Tikki: Yes.
(Marinette kisses Tikki on her forehead)
Tikki: You better get to sleep. Remember, you have that history test tomorrow!
Marinette: Oh yeah! Good thing it's on Ancient Egypt.
Nino: That was a good episode
Alya: ...I was almost sacrificed
Nino: But you didn't die
Alya: Whatever, what's the next one?
Marinette: Lady Wifi
Alya: OOO I wanna see this
ok i'm gonna do the next part now to post soon
see y'all soon
peace out ✌️
