Prime Queen spoke into the camera, " Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Thank you for joining us for this very special program. You will have the chance to witness the victory of our great leader, Scarlet Moth!"
BLAM!
Prime Queen let out a screech as a bullet struck her tablet, releasing the akuma and allowing Big-Head to destroy it. "How about some good news for a change, Nadja?" he asked as Nadja Chamack turned back to normal. She took one look and took off screaming. He redirected his attention to Scarlet Moth. "Now, where were we?"
"This is your last chance, Big-Head," Scarlet Moth growled. "Surrender the Mask of Loki and bring me the Miraculous, or I'll..."
"You'll what? You're powerless against me!" Big-Head pulled a huge bomb out of his pants. "You can't kill me! I have the powers of a god!"
The Megakumatized Pharaoh flew up into the sky and said, "You have the powers of A god! I have the powers of all the gods! APEP! GIVE ME THE POWER OF CHAOS!"
The Miracle Heroes gasped as they watched Pharaoh transform into a giant cobra. Violent storms and earthquakes shook the entire city.
The snake struck at Big-Head, who quickly donned a turban and pulled out a flute. He played a soothing melody, making Pharaoh's head sway back and forth and then... "WAUGH!" Pharaoh screamed as Big-Head stabbed him in the throat, destroying his necklace at the same time. The akuma was released but it was destroyed before it could escape. He turned back into Jalil, who ran away after realizing what was going on.
Suddenly, Princess Fragrance appeared and sprayed him with her perfume. He wasn't affected by its spell, but he suddenly broke out in a rash and started itching uncontrollably. "Damn allergies!"
"Ha, ha, ha," Princess Fragrance sang. "Your Mask is mine!" She reached for his face only to turn back into Rose after a top smashed the perfume bottle and purified the akuma inside. The Miracle Heroes arrived just in time.
"What took you so long?!" Big-Head shouted.
"Honestly, we were waiting for this opportunity," said Ladybug.
"What opportunity?"
"THIS!" And she kicked Big-Head in the groin.
"OW! I'm already in pain here! By the way, you wouldn't happen to have any ointment, would you?" Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck Big-Head. He coughed out smoke and wheezed, "I feel no itch anymore."
Stormy Weather arrived and transformed into a giant tornado and charged at them. Big-Head suddenly garbed himself in a cowboy costume, pulled out a lasso and used it to grab the cyclone's tail. Then slammed it onto the ground until Stormy Weather's umbrella snapped in two, releasing the akuma and turning her back into Aurore. The poor girl screamed as she flew across the sky and landed in a tree.
"Sorry!" Ladybug called out.
Suddenly, with a shriek, Riposte and Mime attacked, only to have her sword blocked by Chat Noir and while Mime's invisible power saw was blocked by Carapace's shield. Thinking quick, Carapace tripped Mime with his foot, making him drop the saw. Chat Noir grabbed it and sliced Riposte's sword in half then grabbed the tip and flung it at Mime's hat, slicing it in half. Ladybug captured and purified the akumas within and Riposte and Mime turned back into Kagami and Fred.
Big-Head laughed at Scarlet Moth, "So much for your army! Now it's time for the main event!" He pulled out huge bomb out of his pocket and lit the match...and then Ladybug snuffed it out. "What the hell?"
"Can't you come up with something that doesn't involve blow up Paris?!"
Big-Head sneered at her. "You're really starting to piss me off, Ladybird Beetle."
Suddenly, Hawk Moth started laughing. "You're right, Big-Head. That was just the appetizer. THIS is the main event!" He pointed upward. The heroes looked up and saw Dark Cupid. He fired an arrow into the sky, then fired a second arrow. It hit the first and it exploded into a shower of arrows. Quickly, Big-Head placed himself and the heroes under a metal shield, blocking the onslaught of falling arrows. When it was over, he laughed.
"HA! Miss me, miss me, now you gotta kiss me!"
"Wasn't aiming at you," said Dark Cupid with a wicked smile.
The heroes looked again. All the villains that Ladybug had purified were Magakumatized once more. "Oh, come on!" exclaimed an irritated Big-Head.
Prime Queen laughed, "What an incredible twist! Those lousy heroes didn't even see it coming!"
"They're all so huge," exclaimed Carapace.
"And meaner, too," said Rena Rouge.
"Well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall, right?" Chat Noir asked nervously.
Suddenly, Kagami raised her foot and slammed it down, creating a tremor that sent the heroes flying up into the sky then they were swatted aside by Pharaoh. They landed on the ground only to run when lava created by Stormy Weather headed straight for them.
"Time for the car again," Big-Head said as he pulled out a keychain and called for it. The limo crashed through a building and pulled to a stop in front of them.
Chat Noir mumbled to himself, "Is that my limo?"
"Everyone, get in!" Big-Head booted everyone into the limo and hopped into the driver's seat. He floored the gas pedal and the limo zoomed off with the lava far behind.
Big-Head looked back and when he saw the villains were gone, he sighed with relief. "So, any smart ideas, Ladybird Beetle," he asked.
Ladybug groaned. "How about giving us the chance to put on our seatbelts?"
"And don't drive so fast," complained Queen Bee. "I'll get car sick!"
"Feel free to vomit! It ain't my car!"
"But it would be nice if you used a barf bag," Chat Noir said quickly.
"So, what's the plan, Ladybug," Rena Rouge asked.
"I don't know. Hawk Moth's never akumatized so many people before."
"Maybe he's figured out how to boost his powers, just like we did," suggested Chat Noir.
"You still think we can win?" asked Carapace.
Ladybug thought of it, then said, "I don't know. Especially with all these giant Megakumas stomping around."
"We can't give up hope! People need us!"
A lightbulb appeared above Big-Head's bald cranium. "I think I know what to... AUUUGGH!" A giant hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and picked up the limo. The owner of the hand, a huge cyclone of golden glitter, brought it up to eye level and roared, "CHLOOOOOEEEEE!"
Queen Bee immediately recognized the voice. "M-Mom?!"
The giant bronze Malediktator stood next to Style Queen and said, "By the power vested in me, I command you to..." BLAM! "AUGH! MY EYES!"
Big-Head fired the bazooka again, this time at Style Queen's face. She let go of the limo, but the heroes weren't out of the woods yet. Big-Head floored the limo and they took off with more villains chasing after them. He then decided to get personal. "Chat Noir, take the wheel."
Love, electricity, shockwave central
Power on the motherboard, yes.
Push up to overload, legendary heavy glow
Sunshine, thunder-roll, keep this on, oh
Yes, the lantern burns firm and easy
And broadcast so raw and neatly,
Thunder-roll, sunshine, work it out.
Chat Noir obeyed him and Big-Head crawled back, popped out the sun roof and aimed a Remington 870 shotgun and took aim at the villains. The first round struck Rogercop 2, sending him crashing into Puppeteer and Princess Fragrance.
The next round hit right between Gamer's eyes and he exploded into a thousand pixels. Then Animan appeared, turned into a rhino and slammed into the rear of the limo, rocking it. Big-Head took aim and fired the Remington in his leg. He let out a roar and tumbled to the ground before crashing into a wall.
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' up to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' up to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' up to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' up to the
Oh Stylo, go forth blossom in your soul
When you know your heart is light
Electric is the love.
When the mako flies
Up from the bottom in your eyes
Then I know the twilight skies
Are not so broken hearted.
Suddenly, the car swerved and Big-Head lost his balance. "Hey, keep it steady, Black Cat!"
"Can't help it, road block!"
Frozer had created a giant wall of ice, forcing Chat Noir to make a sharp turn. Then he began to chase after the limo. Big-Head pulled out a flamethrower and activated it, melting the ice and making Frozer tumble into a stop sign.
If it's love, it's electric
It'll be flowing on the streets,
Night after night
Just to get through the week,
Sometimes it's hard
Right now
The limo continued to drive, onward, unaware they were being followed by Dark Cupid up above. He fired his arrows at the tyres, popping them and making the limo spin out of control. Big-Head flew out the sun roof and smacked the pavement while the heroes jumped out before it fell into the Seine.
Sing yourself out of depression
Rise above all recession
If I know your heart
Electric is the love
There's only one way.
Let it play a little while longer
It's got a way of passing through man and woman
In another world
In another world in the universe
"Everyone okay?" asked Big-Head as he dusted himself off.
"Ugh, define okay," Queen Bee groaned as she stood up. Rena Rouge helped Carapace up while Chat Noir helped Ladybug up.
They heard laughter all around them and found themselves surrounded by the Megakumatized villains. Suddenly, Big-Head started to growl and tremble. "You're really..." His muscles began to expand. "...starting to..." His eyes glowed red. "...PISS ME OFF!" He shouted gibberish before he spun around, forming a giant green tornado that slowly began to suck up everything in sight.
Stormy Weather laughed and created a tornado of her own to counter it. To her shock, Big-Head's tornado absorbed it, making it grow even bigger. The Miracle Heroes used their weapons to hold onto whatever was secure to keep themselves from getting sucked in. Meanwhile, the villains tried to flee, but they were all sucked up. Big-Head jumped out of the tornado, grabbed it by its tail and swung it around before he slammed it into the ground, creating an earthquake that shook all of Paris.
He looked around at the damage he'd done and said, "Whoa. I didn't think I had it in me."
The heroes were speechless. "Remind me not to tick him off," said Carapace.
"Well, that's that," said Big-Head, patting his hands. "Now we can go after..." He was interrupted by the sound of marching footsteps. He turned around and saw Darkblade with an army of knights. And he wasn't alone. Joining him were Syren, Timebreaker, Reverser, Gigantitan and Evillustrator. "Where did they come from?"
"No more escaping for you knaves. Down with the enemy!"
Big-Head was about to pull out another weapon when he heard someone say, "That's enough!" The Miracle Heroes turned around gasped when they saw Nora, Miss Bustier, Mr. Damocles, Andre Glace, Penny and...just about everyone in Paris who wasn't Akumatized.
"What are you all doing here?" asked Ladybug.
"You do so much for us, Ladybug," said Nora.
"Now it's time we do something for you," said Mr. Damocles.
"We'll protect Paris just as you protect it," said Miss Bustier.
"Now we are the heroes today!" the citizens cheered. Then they charged forward, attacking the villains.
The heroes smiled as they watched the people that admired them were helping them now. "Come on," said Ladybug. "We gotta stop Hawk Moth now!"
At the Eiffel Tower, Scarlet Moth drummed his fingers on his cane. "They're more resistant than I expected."
"But we still have the last phase of our plan," Catalyst's voice said in his head.
The sound of footsteps made him turn around. Ladybug, Chat Noir, Rena Rouge and Carapace approached him. "You're here."
"We are," said Chat Noir, activating his powers. "CATACLYSM!"
"It's over, Hawk Moth. You're outnumbered," said Ladybug. "LUCKY CHARM!" She twirled her yo-yo in the air and its magic created...a replica of the Miracle Box at Fu's place. "It's a sign, Hawk Moth. A sign that your Miraculous will wind up inside this box!"
Scarlet Moth shook his head. "Are you sure you're not making a serious mistake? How would you know if the wish I was planning to make with your Miraculous wouldn't have been beneficial to everyone?"
"If you were to make a wish, there'd be a price to pay. Why don't you tell us your wish, Hawk Moth?"
"And why do you want the Mask, for that matter," asked Big-Head.
"Give us the Miraculous and we'll find out..." BLAM! A bullet suddenly struck Scarlet Moth in the chest and he fell in a heap.
Everyone turned to Big-Head, who held his hands up in defense. "Hey, it's not me this time!"
"WAUUUGHH!" A scream made everyone look up. Someone came crashing down to the ground. Everyone immediately recognized her. "It's Volpina," exclaimed Ladybug.
"Whoa, I'm seeing double," said Carapace. "Good thing I know you're the real deal," he said to Rena Rouge, who smiled.
Big-Head's rage boiled over when he saw Volpina. "Lila..." He growled, running up to her and lifting her up by the throat and pulled out a razor. "Maybe I should cut out that lying tongue of yours!"
"No! Don't do it," exclaimed Chat Noir.
"You know what? You're right," Big-Head said as he put the razor away. "I'm thinking the rusty fish scaler instead!" Before he could carry out his threat, a big, hairy fist punched him in the face and sent him falling onto his back. He got back up and gulped when he saw Walter looming over him, armed with an elephant gun. "Well, now we know who shot Hawk Moth."
"Wait, where is Hawk Moth?" asked Rena Rouge
The heroes turned and their eyes widened when they saw Scarlet Moth's body missing. "But, he was right there," exclaimed Carapace. "Did he fake it?"
"No," said Ladybug. "It was just an illusion created by Volpina!"
Big-Head chuckled. "Coward." BLAM! "AUGH!" He was knocked back when Walter fired the elephant gun at him. "Wait! We're on the same side, Frankenstein!" Walter punched in the face, grabbed him by the throat and slammed his face into the ground. "Ladybug, help!"
"Actually, this is your problem now."
"Help..."
Rena Rouge shook her head. "As much as it pains me...MIRAGE!" She blew into the flute and chains flew out of it, wrapping themselves around Walter's arms and torso. "You're up, Carapace!"
"Right. SHELTER!" Carapace threw the shield and it formed a force field around the giant. To their shock, Walter snapped the chains and slammed his fist against the shield. "Whoa. I think we underestimated his strength. I'm pretty sure that's not going to hold him much longer! Ladybug, hurry!"
Ladybug suddenly had a bad feeling. She ducked just in time before Scarlet Moth, the real one this time, came out of hiding and tried to grab her earrings. "You're such a coward, Hawk Moth!"
Chat Noir nodded. "But there's no running this time!"
The two heroes charged at him. Scarlet Moth used his cane like a sword, blocking their attacks. Kicked Chat Noir in the stomach before Ladybug wrapped his arm with her yo-yo. He tugged on the yo-yo, making her fly into his fist. "Enough of this! Surrender the Miraculous and I'll-"
CRASH!
A big, heavy grand piano suddenly slammed down on Scarlet Moth, pinning him down. A battered and bruised Big-Head approached the duo and snarled, "Some heroes, leaving me behind!"
Scarlet Moth groaned as he crawled out from under the piano only to let out a loud "NO!" as his cane was snapped in two by Chat Noir's cataclysm and turned back into Hawk Moth. But he didn't accept defeat. He got back up and roared, "Alright, kids. Watch what a man who's got nothing to lose can do!" BANG! Hawk Moth fell onto his back, his stomach starting to bleed out. Big-Head blew his smoking gun and twirled it.
"Why didn't anyone think of that?"
Ladybug approached him. "Surrender, Hawk Moth. We'll get you to the hospital as soon as we get the Butterfly Miraculous."
Big-Head suddenly turned on her. "Hospital?! I was thinking more like the morgue! He's dead!"
"Big-Head! We just want to get the Miraculous! That's all! AUGH!" Ladybug screamed as Big-Head swatted her away.
"Not enough! The only way to stop him is to put him in the ground!"
When no one was looking, a blue feather suddenly appeared and absorbed itself into Hawk Moth's broken cane. A woman's voice rang in his head. A voice he immediately recognized. "Hawk Moth. I am Mayura."
"N-Nathalie? No! Don't do use it!"
"You're up against the wall, plagued by your deepest, darkest despair. Let me help you."
"Nathalie, please! Stop using the Peafowl Miraculous! You know it's too dangerous!"
"Let your despair be embodied in a powerful protection."
Hawk Moth lowered his head, accepting Mayura's assistance.
"And furthermore...what the hell is that?" Big-Head pointed to a giant purple moth that began to use its wings to push the heroes away. Ladybug tried to catch it with her yo-yo, but it disappeared. Hawk Moth vanished too and a blue feather popped out of his broken cane before it turned white.
Ladybug picked the feather up and her eyes widened with realization. "The only other Miraculous Master Fu lost was the Peafowl!" She walked over to Hawk Moth's cane. "Maybe we can track him with this." It disappeared. She sighed. "He must have turned back. There goes our one chance of tracking him."
Walter punched the shield again and it started to crack. Carapace tried his best to reinforce it, but it was too much. "I can't hold him back anymore!" With one final punch, the shield shattered and Rena Rouge and Carapace crashed into Ladybug and Chat Noir. The giant slowly stalked toward them.
Ladybug noticed their Miraculous starting to beep. "We're about to change back! But first... MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" She tossed the Miracle Box replica up in the air and it exploded in a wave of red and black spots that undid all the battle damage and purified all the villains back to normal.
But they still had to content with Walter. Big-Head pulled a gun out and pointed it at the giant. "Get out of here, then! I'll take care of Frankenstein!" Easier said than done. Walter squeezed his head then tossed him across Paris like a frisbee. But it did work in one favor. It distracted Walter long enough for the heroes to escape.
But Walter still had the black hand card with the ladybird beetle on it. He knew Ladybug got those jewels from somewhere near the Seine, and he knew the jewels would lead him to Big-Head.
Ladybug returned the Miraculous to Master Fu, who nodded. "Thank you, Marinette."
Hawk Moth returned to his lair and turned back to Gabriel. Mayura stood before him. She wore a blue coat and boots and a mask made from peacock feathers. In her hand was a blue fan shaped like a peacock's tail feathers. With a command, Mayura turned back into Nathalie, who collapsed to the ground.
Gabriel helped her up an scolded her, "I told you never to use the Peacock Miraculous!"
"I had no choice, sir. I had to save you!" Nathalie retorted with a cough.
Gabriel yanked the peacock brooch off her lapel and said, "It's damaged. It's way too dangerous."
Nathalie smiled either way. "I want to help you all the way to the end."
Gabriel smiled back. "Thank you Nathalie. For everything."
When Lila returned home, she was fuming with hatred. Hatred for Ladybug. Hatred for Big-Head. Hatred for Walter. She wished they were dead, dead, dead. If only...
"I knew I'd find you."
Lila turned and gasped when she saw Big-Head reclining on her bed. "Wh-What are you doing here?!"
Big-Head leaned forward. "You know. I can see through lies. I can always tell when someone is lying. And you are the biggest liar of all. It's a surprise your pants aren't on fire yet. Luckily, I can fix that!"
That evening, the Place de Vosges, the students at school set up a picnic in the park grounds. Marinette had to explain to everyone that she was in way over her head so she suggested they'd bring their own foods instead and she'll bring her usual macarons. And to her surprise, everyone understood and they still loved her. Everyone except Chloe.
Adrien, at Alya's suggestion, went to sit next to Marinette. "May I?"
Marinette squeaked and stammered, "No. Um, go away. No, I mean, go ahead. Please stand, I mean, sit."
Rudi leaned in and whispered to Alix, "You'd think she'd learn to speak coherent sentences around him by now." She nodded in agreement.
But he didn't get the chance as he got a text from his father. "Oh no. My father wants me to attend a charity event he's throwing. I can't stay." Marinette frowned sadly. Another chance gone. Before he left, he stopped, helped Marinette up and locked eyes with her. "I wanted to tell you. Rose was right earlier. You're always helping people. Like that day you helped Juleka overcome her class photo curse. Or when you partnered Nathaniel and Marc together to make that comic book. Or when you helped me get to the movies so that I could see my mother on the screen. That's why everyone jumped at the chance to help you with the picnic. So today, it was our turn to help you. You're our everyday Ladybug. Have a good evening, Super-Marinette."
He turned to leave, but Marinette stopped him and said, "Wait!" Adrien paused and looked back to her. "Uh... I, uh..." What happened next made everyone gasp. She planted a quick kiss on his cheek. "Thank you, Adrien."
"You're welcome, Marinette." And with that, Adrien left to go to the limo where his bodyguard was waiting for him.
Marinette turned to face her classmates and they all cheered. "It's about damn time!" Rudi said with joy.
The picnic ended earlier than it should have when everyone saw an update on Lila's blog. It had a selfie of Big-Head holding a bottle of kerosine in one hand with Lila in the background. She was tied to the bed, screaming in agony as her pants were set ablaze. The caption bellow the image read, "Lila, Lila, Pants On Fie-ya!"
Later, everyone found out from her mother that she was taken to the hospital with second and third degree burns on her legs.
Lila received multiple Get-Well presents from her "friends" in a matter of hours after Big-Head sent the update. It didn't matter. All that mattered was that he had scarred her for life. He was going to pay for this. Him AND Ladybug. "And when the time comes, I'll slice YOUR tongue out!"
