(AN Hey everyone it's Luminous before we start this Chapter there is something I'd like to adress. As some of you may or may not know I recently started a Detective Conan fanfiction to do on the side. for Some reason a Guest has been coming in & commenting a lot about not completing This story before starting that one. Can you please stop that as an author I am able to write more than one story at a time, & it's not like that story is messing up when this one comes out, I promised that new Chapters of this story would be posted Every other Friday & for the most part If I'm not too busy with school & work I can keep that scedule. If I do other stories on the side it's your choice as a reader to chose to read it or not, but leaving comments like that is just rude, & makes me feel like what I write isn't apreciated by others, so please stop leaving comments like that on my story, that I have to go back & moderate.
Thank you,
Kaitou Luminous, now on with the new chapter.)
"Oblivio". Kagami says before she's cut off by a loud scream that deafends throughout the room.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"! Soon the screams die down & people are able to uncover their ears, shocked at what occurred.
"What the Bloody Hell was that? Did my Fans find me"? Jagged asks being the first to recover since he's used to this sort of thing at his concerts.
"Nope that was the 4th wall breaking with the screams of miraculous fans, since it's time for this episode". Luminous sighs expecting this would happen.
"So what happens in this episode that's got everyone so hyped up Dudette? Does Lila finally get defeated"? Nino asks curious as to what happens in this episode.
"Oh you'll find out, but for everyone's safety there's something I need to do first''. Luminous says walking up to Alya & in a flash she's now sitting there in a straight Jacket & with duct tape over her mouth.
"UHH why did you do this to Alya"? Marinette asks going to free her.
"Trust me it's for everyone's safety, now let's start this episode". Luminous says pressing play.
Scene: The floor of an elevator. Ladybug is on the ground. She opens her eyes, gasps, and looks around. There's a drawing in red on the wall of the elevator of a phone and an arrow pointing right towards a turtle. She's holding a tube of lipstick.
"Wait, we're starting after the Akuma attack starts that's unusual". Alix observes in place of Alya who's glaring at the screen from her binding.
Cat Noir: What happened?
Ladybug: (gets startled and drops the lipstick)—Ah!
Cat Noir: Who are you?
Ladybug: I'm, uh, I—I don't know, (her hand is on her head) I—I don't remember my own name!
"Oh The classic Amnesia episode that always makes things interesting". Chloe says amused while enjoying some sushi.
"But why did we Lose our memory"? Marinette asks confused.
"Probably because of the Akuma, but we won't know until we watch the episode more". Adrien suggests as everyone turns their attention back to the episode.
Cat Noir: (puts his hand to his head) Me neither. (looking at himself) Looks like you and I were at the same costume party.
(Ladybug looks at herself too. Cat Noir's ring begins to beep.)
Ladybug: Hm? Why is that flashing? (her earrings begin to beep)
Cat Noir: And your earrings, too. We must shop at the same jewelry store.
Ladybug: Are we supposed to know each other?
Cat Noir: I'd be surprised if we weren't.
"Wait you lose your Memories & we get an identity reveal. Oh this is Good, I can see why you had to restrain Alya". Alix says cheeky Looking over at Alya.
"How are you doing over there Alya"?
"Mhmfum" She muffles out struggling against her bonds.
"I see I see".
(The beeping gets faster and they detransform. Tikki and Plagg fall to the floor.)
Adrien: Woah.
Marinette: Ahh! (hiding behind Adrien) There are giant bugs! Mice? Bug-mice!
Plagg: Woah, I am starving right now.
Adrien: (waving) Hi there! (crawls over and picks Plagg up) What are you exactly? Genies, like the one in the lamp?
Plagg: If I'm a genie, where's my lamp? Besides, where am I? And who are you?
"Oh no we lost our memories too Plagg, this must be the result of an Akuma". Tikki says worried.
"Relax Sugarcube They'll figure out a way to defeat the Akuma, they always do". Plagg says leaning back in his cheese.
Marinette: (pointing to Tikki) What's that thing doing in my earring?
Tikki: I'm not a thing, I'm… I don't know what I am! But I do know that I'm very hungry. (her stomach rumbles)
Marinette: (picks Tikki up) Aw, poor little… no thing! (Tikki laughs)
(Plagg sniffs Adrien's shirt.)
Adrien: (standing up) Okay everyone we're gonna keep our cool here. We've all lost our memories and we don't know why but we'll find— (the elevator lurches downwards)
Marinette: What is it this time? (The lights flicker. Something begins to dent the ceiling.) We can't stay here.
Adrien: Couldn't agree more.
(They try to pry the doors open.)
Tikki: Perhaps we should help them?
Plagg: Well, I'm not going anywhere until I know what smells so good in that boy's shirt.
"Great Even without his memories he's still obsessed with Chamabert". Adrien Sighs in defeat, so much for hopeful thinking, that he would eat something else without his memories.
(Tikki phases through the elevator doors, Plagg follows.)
Scene: The hallway.
Plagg: We seem to be exceptional beings, unlike them.
(Tikki enters the top button of the elevator control panel and exits out the bottom one. The doors open with a ding.)
Marinette: Thank you!
(Adrien grabs Marinette's hand and they run. The elevator's ceiling collapses in a cloud of dust. They look back and the doors close while dinging.)
Adrien: Let's get out of here!
(They run and slide down the hallway to the stairwell.)
Scene: Lobby. They burst through the door and walk towards the exit. The whole room is in disorder. Lights, chairs and scaffolding are blocking the way out. Huge cracks adorn the walls and ceiling.
Adrien: Ah, the exit is blocked.
Marinette: (they look at each other) We're gonna have to find another way out. (They hear a banging noise and turn around. Something is trying to get out of the elevator by smashing the door from the inside.) Fast!
Adrien: Over there! (takes her hand and they run)
Marinette: Ah!
Scene: A bathroom. Marinette shuts the door behind her.
Marinette: Okay. We're stuck in the building with amnesia being chased by a—a thing that's obviously got it in for us big time.
Adrien: Not to mention the two strange creatures who magically appeared when our costumes disappeared.
Plagg: Uh, excuse me, but the creatures are hungry. Would you mind opening up your shirt to see what smells so good?
Adrien: (holding cheese) Camembert?
"Dude why do you still remember what that type of cheese is called when you can't remember anything else"? Nino can help but asks.
"I don't know". Adrien Moans putting his face in his hands.
Plagg: (takes the cheese) It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. (eats it)
(Tikki's stomach rumbles. Marinette takes a macaron out of her purse.)
Marinette: Will this do?
Tikki: Mm! (takes it) Thank you!
Marinette: (takes out her national identity card and gasps) Marinette! My name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng!
"Marinette sorry but I can't help myself. But that is one of the worst ID Photos I've ever seen". Chloe Laughs unable to help herself from letting her inner bully out for this one.
"Ya that wasn't my best Photo I must admit". Marinette says reluctantly agreeing with Chloe on this one.
Adrien: (bowing) Pleased to meet you, Marinette. (Marinette giggles. He takes his card out of his back pocket and looks at it.) Adrien Agreste.
Marinette: Super nice to meet you too, Adrien. (she curtsies; he laughs) Of course! (takes her phone out of her purse) We still got our phones!
Adrien: (takes his phone out of his pocket) Brilliant!
Both: (realizing they can't remember the lock patterns) Aw…
Marinette: Is yours locked too?
(They hear a thud and a groan. Tikki phases her head through the door to look.)
Tikki: (back in the bathroom) The thing's coming this way!
(They close themselves in a stall.)
Marinette: We need to find a way out of this building!
Adrien: And we will. Until then… (They both go to lock the door. Their hands touch, they look at each other and blush.)
"It seems your crush remains despite your memories not". Kagami comments at the sight of their blush.
(The villain kicks open the bathroom's door.)
Adrien: What do we do—?
Marinette: Shh! (puts a finger to both their lips)
(The villain is kicking open stall doors, one by one, getting closer to theirs. Marinette shakes Adrien's shoulder, points to the wall and starts climbing. The villain, with purple vision, opens their stall and finds an open vent)
"Okay anyone have any idea who that is"? Marinette asks not sure who this Akuma possibly be.
"Nope".
"Sorry Dudette".
"I am unsure who your opponent is".
Villain: Uhg! We will get you.
Scene: The air duct. They look back while crawling away.
Adrien: Wow, Marinette! You seem like someone who always has the right idea at the right time!
"Ya no Kidding I still have no idea how you come up with most of those plans with your lucky charms Marinette". Max says being completely honest.
"Well not everyone's lucky charms can be like Mr Bug's". Marinette says remembering Adrien getting what he wanted with the Lucky charm.
Marinette: I hope you're right. (they continue crawling)
Scene: A stairwell. Adrien opens the vent and looks around. He climbs out and helps Marinette, but they fall on top of each other. Shocked, they separate.
Both: Sorry. (the kwamis fly in)
(Adrien laughs and then Marinette laughs. They get up.)
Adrien: Okay. I suggest we go upstairs.
Marinette: (running up the stairs following Adrien) But there's no way up there. We're gonna get trapped again!
Scene: Adrien opens the door to an office. They peek in.
Adrien: We can hide out here while we signal for help.
Marinette: Good idea! (they run inside. Marinette goes to a window. She looks out while pressing with her hands.) Ugh! No handle! And the glass is tinted. (turning to Adrien) They won't be able to see us.
Adrien: (runs to a desk and tries the phone) Phone lines are down. (looking at his phone) If only I could remember how to unlock my phone.
Marinette: Wait! (takes his phone and blows on it, revealing the passcode pattern)
"I see you retained your skills from your phone stealing Days Marinette". Penny says jokingly.
"Can we please not talk about that"?
""Sorry Marinette but I don't think they'll forget about it anytime soon". Adrien says unhelpfully.
Adrien: Nice work, Marinette! (unlocks his phone) Uh oh. But, who should we call?
Marinette: (unlocks her phone as well) I'm almost out of battery.
Adrien: (looks at his phone) Me too. We should call our parents first. (enters his contacts and scrolls through them) Gabriel Agreste. Probably… my dad. (calls him)
Gabriel: (on voicemail) This is Gabriel Agreste's voicemail. To leave a message, please call my secretary.
"Why am I not surprised"? Alix groans.
Adrien: (hanging up) Let's hope you have better luck than me.
Marinette: (scrolling) Agreste, Césaire, Couffaine, Dupain-Cheng Sabine! (calls her mother)
Sabine: (on the phone) Marinette, are you okay? They're saying on TV that Ladybug and Cat Noir are battling a supervillain at Montparnasse Tower. (Marinette notices a poster for the Ladybug and Cat Noir movie from Animaestro) Isn't that where you were going on your school trip today?
"Wait we're getting a Movie based on us"? Marinette asked Surprised.
"So awesome" Juleka whispers.
"Hieeee"! Comes from Alya as she tries to cheer from behind her Duct Tape.
Marinette: (looking at the poster) Cat Noir and Ladybug?
Sabine: Marinette is everything okay? Where are you?
Marinette: Uh, sure, Mom, everything's okay. I'm with my friends, safe. Don't worry.
(Adrien gasps, puts out his arms, and shrugs. She waves her hand telling him to wait.)
Sabine: I'm so relieved. Whatever you do, stay there until the supervillain's been defeated.
Marinette: Sure, Mom, I will. Love you! (hangs up)
Adrien: Why didn't you ask her for help?
Marinette: (gesturing) I have both good news and bad news. The good news is: there are superheroes in the tower that will stop that supervillain. The bad news is: we're the superheroes! And the thing that's chasing us is the supervillain! And we're supposed to be defeating it with superpowers we no longer have!
"Well at least you summed it up quickly". Luka says looking on the bright side.
"Well we have to work quickly if we want to Defeat the Akuma & get our memories back". Marinette says in ladybug mode.
Adrien: (looking worried) Eh...
Scene: The lobby. Hawk Moth is speaking as the villain looks around.
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: Nobody? We must have missed something. (his light halo appears in front of the villain's vision) They have to be inside the building, Oblivio. Ladybug and Cat Noir can't have escaped. Retrace your steps. They must have transformed back by now. And with their memories erased, you won't have any trouble getting your hands on their Miraculous.
Scene: The office. Marinette and Adrien are sitting in front of the movie poster, leaning against a column.
Marinette: If my own mother doesn't know that I'm Ladybug, then nobody must know.
Adrien: What about us? Do you think… we know?
Marinette: Hm. (looking at a photo of Adrien as her phone's background) I feel like we're more than just a superhero team.
Adrien: (scrolling through images of Ladybug on his phone) Do you think we're…
"OH COME ON! How is it you're less oblivious without your memories, than you are with them"? Chloe shouts unable to believe this.
"It might have something to do with the fact they now know each other's identities, so there's no Love square to worry about". Max hypothesis from his seat.
"Oh Master Fu this is a chance for you to see if we work better knowing each other's identities, or not". Marinette says looking on the bright side.
"Indeed this is a good chance to see that for sure". Fu says in agreement.
(They look at each other and show each other their phones. They smile.)
Marinette: Looks like it.
Adrien: Then we must have told each other everything. I couldn't hide my identity from the girl I love.
"Correction I try to tell the girl I love my identity, but she won't let me". Adrien corrects his on screen self.
"I'm more surprised your on screen self didn't question why they only had photos of one of your identities & not the other". Rose says surprising everyone at that revelation.
"Well you know what they say Rose"... Marinette starts before getting cut off by Adrien.
"...Love is Blind".
(Marinette gasps. They look at each other. She looks away.)
Marinette: So, if we're the superheroes, then what are they? (gestures towards the kwamis by the window)
Adrien: I have no idea.
Tikki: You can't just leave, we have to help them!
Plagg: We don't even know who we are, or who they are. I don't want to help out a couple of strangers.
Tikki: You may not remember who you are, but at least you know this about this about yourself: you're a selfish being, and a total coward! (turns away from him)
Plagg: Me, a coward? (goes to her) I am not a coward! I—I'm a free spirit, so don't come if you don't want to, but I'm out of here! (phases through the window)
"PLAGG"! All the kwami's shout give the Kwami of destruction the stink eye.
"What you know I'm a Lover not a fighter by heart". He says in his defense.
"That doesn't give you an excuse to abandon your chosen Plagg''. Xuppu schools his fellow Kwami.
Adrien: (arriving with Marinette) Did he go to get help?
Tikki: I don't think we should hold our breath.
(They hear the elevator. Adrien pulls Marinette away. The villain enters the office.)
Oblivio: Ladybug, Cat Noir, we know you're in here. You won't get away this time.
(Marinette, Adrien, and Tikki are hiding behind a desk. Adrien looks out to see a purple shadowy figure with a white blaster for a left hand and grey glove for a right hand.)
Oblivio: You remember your BFF Oblivio, don't you? Don't tell us you've forgotten us. Ha ha ha ha! (begins to throw things and destroy the office)
"Is it just me or are there two voices forming from that Akuma''? Kagami asks not sure if her ears are playing tricks on her.
"Rock on you got it right Mate, from what I can hear there's a male & female voice coming from Oblivio". Jagged says using his highly trained ears to his advantage.
"So Hawkmoth must have created another Akuma from two people like what he did with Alya's sisters''. Max Guesses.
"But then who got Akumatized? Can you tell Jagged"? Marinette aks Hopeful.
"I believe I recognize the Voice Marinette, but I'm not going to spoil the surprise". Jagged says Getting their hopes up before knocking them back to the ground.
"Aww Why"? Rose asks, giving her best puppy dog eyes.
"Because 1. It would ruin the surprised, 2. Spoilers are forbidden here, & 3. I don't want to be knocked out by a squirrel with a Frying pan if I do tell you". Jagged says pointing over at Pin who is polishing her Cast iron pan giving jagged the Stink eye as a warning.
"Yah I don't blame you for that one". Kim says whimpering under Pin's glare.
Adrien: (whispering) I'm not convinced that this monster is really our best friend.
Marinette: (also whispering) One thing's for sure, if we're superheroes, he can't find out about our secret identities.
Adrien: How about some kind of diversion? We get out of here and take the emergency stairs.
(Marinette turns and looks at a sticky note pad, a pen, and a spilled cup of coffee on top of the desk. She turns again and looks at a tape dispenser on a bookshelf and Adrien's phone in his hand. She takes his phone out of his hands.)
Marinette: Sorry, I need this.
(Oblivio is flipping tables.)
Marinette: (wrapping tape around his phone) I'll call you, and when he comes, we make a run for it. (pulls the tape out of the dispenser) I'll use the tape to pull your phone back. Ready?
Adrien: No wonder I fell in love with you. (Marinette smiles and takes the coffee cup)
"Ugh will you stop with the flirting Adrikins"?
"Well I won't be in battle anymore, I can see it's a distraction".
(Oblivio looks around while Marinette and Adrien sneak across the room. She calls his phone. It rings and Oblivio runs towards the sound.)
Oblivio: Uh uh. Gotcha. (Adrien hangs up while Marinette pulls the phone back) You shouldn't have forgotten to switch off your phone. (runs over to find a sticky note with a donkey drawn on it) Nooo!
(Adrien and Marinette run towards the exit; Tikki follows.)
Scene: The stairwell. Marinette nodds at Tikki, who flies down the stairs with the coffee cup. Marinette and Adrien run up the stairs and sit. Oblivio enters and looks at the trail of coffee leading downstairs.
Oblivio: You're trying to fool Oblivio again! But it's not gonna work this time. (Oblivio heads up the stairs. Tikki opens and closes a door below him. It turns around) Or perhaps we give you too much credit. (runs back down.)
Marinette: You saved our lives! Thank you. (hugs Tikki)
Adrien: (takes Marinette's hand and leads her downstairs) Let's head back to where we were. It's the last place he'll think of looking for us.
"Good thinking Dude you should step up into the leadership role more often". Nino says fistbumping with his best bro.
"Thanks Nino".
Scene: The sky over Paris. Plagg is flying away from Montparnasse Tower.
Plagg: Pfft, a coward, me? Whatever! Huh? (sees a billboard for Adrien's perfume ad) Adrien? (flies off) I may not remember my own name, but I know for a fact that I'm brave and (sees another billboard) I… am… (looks around the city and sees several more forms of the ad; screaming towards the tower) This is called psychological harassment!
"I think you're feeling guilty for leaving them behind Plagg". Tikki says knowingly.
"Uhh No Comment". Plagg says not confirming or denying anything.
Scene: The office.
Marinette: Sorry, your phone's out of juice. (hands him his phone and removes a piece of tape)
Adrien: (puts it in his jacket's pocket) No worries. We're doing pretty well, even without powers, don't you think?
Tikki: It's true, you two make a very effective couple. (they look at each other)
Marinette: Yes, but if we want a real shot at defeating this villain, we're gonna have to become Ladybug and Cat Noir again. (takes out her phone) Maybe we can gather some hints by watching some news footage to see what happened before he erased our memories.
(She plays a clip of Officer Roger in the middle of a traffic jam.)
Pedestrian: Hey, do something!
Roger: What do you want me to do?
Pedestrian: I don't know, you're the cop!
Roger: I am? (The clip minimizes to show the TVi news broadcast with Nadja Chamack)
TVi Person: Nadja, you're on the air!
Nadja: Me? What do I do? (gets handed a tablet and proceeds to read) Uh, don't be bemused, it's just the news. Since early this afternoon, a supervillain by the name of Oblivio has been erasing the memories of everyone he comes across. Ladybug and Cat Noir are tracking him down inside Montparnasse Tower.
Adrien: Well, right now, he's the one tracking us down.
Scene: The hallways. Oblivio is searching for Ladybug and Cat Noir. A light halo appears over his face.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Ladybug and Cat Noir are toying with you Oblivio. If you can't manage to find them…
Oblivio: (in the hallway) Then we'll flush them out of hiding, Hawk Moth. (Oblivio takes the elevator to the roof. He begins shooting purple memory loss balls into the sky with his left hand by using his right hand, creating a large hovering purple bubble.)
"Is Oblivio Trying to erase the Memories of all of Paris''? Luka asks, shocked.
"But wouldn't that also make Hawkmoth lose his memories as well"? Kagami adds worried.
"I wouldn't complain if he forgot about wanting the miraculous". Alix says reclining back in her seat.
Scene: The office. Marinette and Adrien are holding Marinette's phone while watching news clips with Tikki from earlier in the day.
Nadja: (from a helicopter) Looks like Ladybug and Cat Noir are struggling today.
(Ladybug and Cat Noir are fighting Oblivio on the roof.)
Ladybug: And stop calling us a couple!
Adrien: We don't exactly look lovey-dovey in this footage.
Marinette: Probably just a regular fight like all couples have.
"Riight". Red says sarcastically.
Nadja: The battle against Oblivio continues. (Cat Noir is hit by Oblivio's shooter) Oh, oh no! Cat Noir has been hit, but Ladybug pulls him out of danger. (Ladybug throws him into the elevator. She draws something on the wall.) What's she doing now? (Ladybug is hit as the doors close. She falls.) Ladybug is down, too!
Marinette: The drawing! There was a drawing on the elevator wall! I remember now. It was a turtle. I saw it earlier when I was looking for my mom's number. (She scrolls through her contacts) There it is! (she shows Adrien)
Adrien: You left yourself a message! So smart.
"Classic Marinette always thinking ahead". Nino says patting her on the back. "What do you think Babe"?
"Mhmhem". Alya says Nodding from her place next to Nino
(She calls Master Fu.)
Master Fu: Hello?
Marinette: (they lean in) Mr. Turtle?
Fu: Marinette, is there a problem? (they look at each other excitedly and Adrien pulls his fist towards himself)
Marinette: Listen. I can't remember who I am or who you are. Oblivio has erased my memory. But I think I'm supposed to call you.
Fu: You did the right thing. Is Cat Noir with you? (they look at each other)
Marinette: (giggling nervously) Yeah, well Adrien, actually.
Fu: You two know your true identities, then. (they look at each other)
Adrien: We're not supposed to?
Fu: That's okay, the Miraculous ladybugs will repair everything anyway. (Adrien shrugs)
Marinette: We figured out we're superheroes, but we don't know how to make ourselves Ladybug and Cat Noir again. (her phone flashes a low battery warning) Mr. Turtle, you'll have to tell us quick, I'm almost out of battery.
"Wait does that mean they'll forget about learning each other's identities After the Miraculous Cure is cast"? Sabrina Asks nervously.
"Indeed they will forget about this after the Miraculous Cure is cast". Fu reluctantly tells them.
"Wow I can see why you Restrained Alya now". Alix says looking over at their hosts.
"Well that's one of the reasons why we restrained her". Luminous Admits.
Fu: Are your kwamis with you? (they look at Tikki)
Marinette: Uh, if you mean the flying creatures, then, one of them. The red one is with us.
Fu: Okay. Listen carefully, the red kwami's name is Tikki. (Tikki flies closer) She gives you your powers (Tikki and Marinette look at each other) Say, "Tikki, spots on," and you'll transform into Ladybug. You'll find an emergency user's guide in your Bug Phone. Adrien, your kwami's the black one. His name is Plagg. (Marinette looks at Adrien) Tell him, "Plagg, claws out," and you'll become Cat Noir again. The rest is in your Cat Phone.
"Wait, there was a Guide on how to use my power in my Yo-yo from the start? That would have been helpful during Stoneheart, I could have been reminded to capture the akuma, & Adrien you actually learn how his powers worked, since he didn't give Plagg a chance to explain everything". Marinette rants remembering how their first Akuma fight went.
"Your Kwami's were supposed to tell you everything before you transformed for the first time, but do not worry. Everyone messes up at first, there is nothing to be ashamed about if you mess up, so long as you learn from & fix your mistakes you make along the way". Fu says to reassure her.
"Thanks Master".
Adrien: But, my kwami took off.
Fu: You won't be able to transform without him— (The phone turns black. Marinette squeals.)
(They hear a rumbling and look up out the window at the growing bubble.)
Scene: The streets. Plagg is still flying away, but he hears the rumbling and turns to see the bubble.
(Plagg flashes back to Tikki's words.)
Tikki: (in flashback) You're a selfish being and a total coward!
Plagg: I am not a coward, and I'm not selfish, either! But, maybe this Adrien boy has some yummy Camembert left. (flies back toward the tower)
"Oh Plagg".
Scene: The top of the tower. Oblivio is standing on the edge of the roof.
Oblivio: Ladybug, Cat Noir, if you don't come out of hiding and give us your Miraculous, this giant bubble's gonna erase the memories of every single person in Paris!
Scene: The office. They turn away from the window.
Marinette: It's time to bring Ladybug back.
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, Spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
Adrien: Wow, that was amazing!
Ladybug: (looking at herself) Thanks, but I don't feel like a superhero at all.
Adrien: You've already proven that you are one, with or without a costume. (Marinette smiles and shakes her head)
"AWWWW" Comes from most of the girls in the room.
Ladybug: (looking at her yo-yo) Okay, there seems to be a kind of button here. (presses on the lid and it opens) User's guide? (several icons pop up around a question mark; she scrolls) "Yo-yo's features, capturing the akuma, one-time power, Lucky Charm…" wha— (her call out activates the superpower) Aaah! (she throws the yo-yo on the floor) Ee–! (She receives a teapot and catches it) Uh! What am I supposed to do with this? Make tea?
Adrien: Maybe it's part of a puzzle, or a riddle?
Ladybug: You're right, it must just be one part of the solution, but, how am I gonna find the solution?
Adrien: Don't worry, you always have the right idea at the right time, you got this!
Ladybug: (nodding) Mm hm. (She jogs in place and inhales) Hoo. It's time for action!
Adrien: (reaches for her) Marinette, I want to fight beside you. (picks up a white pipe) If we're a couple, then we'll be stronger together.
Ladybug: But you don't have your kwami or your superpowers. And without your costume, the villain would know your true identity. (Adrien looks down dejectedly and sighs. She grabs the hand he's holding the pipe with.) But most of all, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. I'm starting to understand how much you mean to me, Adrien. (kisses him on the cheek) Please, stay there. Ladybug is here to protect you! (runs off)
Adrien: (touching his cheek) Whoa. I don't need any memory to know that I love that girl.
"Wow even without your memories, somethings never change". Juleka says impressed.
Scene: The stairwell. Ladybug is running while reading the user's guide.
Ladybug: "The Miraculous enhances all physical abilities." Well, that'll come in handy.
(She reaches the roof and spins her yo-yo. Oblivio stands up. A halo appears around his face.)
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) It looks like Ladybug has gotten her powers back, but not her memory. Seize her Miraculous, Oblivio!
(Oblivio starts shooting at her. She jumps out of the way.)
Ladybug: Whoo hoo! Ha ha! Super agility is super awesome! (jumps off the building and swings away)
"Ya If only I had that in my everyday life". Marinette wishes knowing that power would help counter her super clumsiness.
Scene: The office. Adrien is looking out the window at Ladybug.
Ladybug: Ahh!
(He looks at two cardboard boxes on the ground, and a pair of scissors and a roll of tape on a table. He begins crafting his items.)
"Dude what are you planning"? Nino Asks nervously.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Nino". Adrien says innocently.
"Sure you don't".
Scene: The roof. Ladybug is running away from Oblivio's blasts. She trips on her yo-yo and falls to the ground.
Oblivio: You've forgotten your reflexes, huh? (walks towards her) Now we're gonna make sure you forget everything else, including your Miraculous!
(Oblivio aims its blaster at her. A roll of tape phases through its head. It turns around. Adrien is dressed in an unnecessarily detailed cardboard version of Cat Noir's costume.)
"That's a Lot of details for a rushed Costume Adrikins". Chloe says impressed.
"Thanks Chloe".
"Dude did you really need to make a Paperball Bell for the Costume"?
"Yes"?
Adrien: Attacking a Lady on the ground, did you forget your manners?
Ladybug: Adri—(covers her mouth)
(Oblivio begins shooting at Adrien. He dodges, but Ladybug pulls him away to hide behind a vent. They pant.)
Plagg: So, can I be of any help in any way?
Adrien: (turns around) Plagg?
Plagg: Plagg? So that's my name, Plagg?
Adrien: Yeah, and you got here just at the right time. (takes his carboard helmet off)
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out!
Plagg: (interrupts a transformation sequence) What's that gonna do— (babbling)
Cue the laugh track.
(Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
Cat Noir: Hey, pretty cool, right? (Oblivio begins shooting at them)
Ladybug: (they run) Very cool, but try not to lose your memory again!
(Ladybug uses her yo-yo to shield Cat Noir as they circle Oblivio. He reads the manual on his staff)
Cat Noir: Hm, "Stick's features, superpower, Cata—"
"Speaking of Powers Mate, hasn't it been over 5 minutes since you called the Lucky Charm"? Jagged asks confused.
"It sure feels that way, but my costume would have disappeared by now if it has been over 5 minutes". Marinette says confused.
Ladybug: Stop! It'll trigger it if you say it out loud.
Cat Noir: And it says it can only be used once?
Ladybug: What does your power do, exactly?
Cat Noir: Apparently, I can destroy anything I touch.
Ladybug: (smiling) Then stay away from me, if you don't mind.
Cat Noir: That's not gonna be easy, Ma— Lady. (she laughs)
"Nice save Adrien"! Kim shouts.
"Thanks Kim, but you might wanna be quieter, Pin doesn't look too happy right now". Adrien says pointing to the squirrel who's giving Kim a death glare.
Whimper "okay".
(He uses his staff to push off the ground and hit Oblivio but the staff phases through it.)
Oblivio: Seems like you've already forgotten about your last defeat! (Cat Noir runs on all fours back to Ladybug) How silly of us, of course you've forgotten!
Cat Noir: We won't stand a chance until we stop him from firing at us.
Ladybug: Of course, his left hand is different from the rest of his body, that must be where the akuma is hiding!
Cat Noir: Okay, I've got no idea what the hakuna matata is, but I trust you. So what's the plan?
"Was that a Pun Adrikins"?
"I honestly don't know".
(She uses her vision, in order the objects highlighted are: the teapot; Oblivio's hand and blaster and Cat Noir)
Ladybug: Can you get him to forget about me for a little while?
Cat Noir: I'm on it. (jumps to the roof's ledge) Hey, you! Do you want to play cat and mouse with me? The first one who tags the other wins!
(Ladybug slides under Oblivio's legs, wraps her yo-yo around its gloved hand, pulls it down, and stuffs it inside the teapot.)
Oblivio: What in the—?
Ladybug: Cat Noir, now!
(Oblivio tries to shoot but is hindered by the teapot.)
Cat Noir: Cataclysm! (He jumps and touches the blaster. It falls to the ground in pieces and the akuma flies out.)
Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma. Time to de-evilize! (catches the Akuma) Gotcha! (releases the white butterfly) Bye, bye, little butterfly.
(Oblivio detransforms into Alya and Nino. They fall to the ground.)
"Wait Alya & I were the Akuma Why"? Nino asked shocked.
"Spoilers". Red Reminds them.
Cat Noir: Wow, so this villain was both these guys? (Ladybug and he look up at the bubble) What do we do about that?
Ladybug: This is where my other power comes in. (picks up the teapot) It fixes everything back to how it was originally. (is about to throw it, but Cat Noir grabs her wrist)
Cat Noir: Wait. Do you think we'll remember all this… afterwards?
Ladybug: Apparently, my Miraculous Ladybug reverts everything, so I'm guessing we won't.
Cat Noir: All right then. With your permission, m'Lady…
(He grabs her hands. She smiles and they lean in and kiss each other. They squeeze each other's hands.)
(Alya and Nino recover from their daze)
Alya: (holding her head) Uh…
(They see Ladybug and Cat Noir and both gasp. Alya smiles and takes a picture of them kissing.)
"KYAAAAAAAAAAA"! Nearly the whole audience shouts at the sight of the two kissing.
"Oh is this why you Tied up Alya"? Nino asks once his hearing comes back as he looks at his girlfriend practically vibrating in excitement from within her restraints.
"One of them". Luminous confirms.
(Cat Noir and Ladybug separate and look at each other. She throws the teapot.)
Ladybug: Miraculous Ladybug!
(The bubble disappears and the office is restored. Ladybug and Cat Noir hold hands and lean into each other. The ladybugs pass and they regain their memories, realize how close they are and separate.)
Alya: Uh, Ladybug, Cat Noir?
Cat Noir: Guys, you haven't seen a supervillain named Oblivio, have you?
Nino: You've defeated it already, dude.
Alya: Actually, he was… us.
Both: Oh, okay. Pound it? Pound it! (they fist bump)
"Pound it"! They do the same in person.
Cat Noir: We do make a good couple, don't you think? (crosses his arms and leans in) Otherwise we wouldn't have won again like we always do.
Ladybug: (with her hand on her forehead) Ugh, we're a team not a couple. (enunciating with her hands) Don't start that again! (crosses her arms) I've already told you that I'm in love with another boy. (gesturing towards him) Besides, this charming kitty act of yours was the reason we became distracted (recrosses arms) and got into all this trouble in the first place. (Cat Noir laughs) That's right laugh all you want— (he leans in) Hey, what are you doing?
"& Just like that we return to the status quo". Alix sighs in defeat.
(He turns her face towards Alya. She stops and her eyes widen. Alya giggles and points to her phone with the photo of them kissing on it. Ladybug and Cat Noir lean out.)
Ladybug: (gasps) Everyone saw that?! (She bows her head into her hands) This is a disaster! What on earth happened?!
Cat Noir: Well one thing's for sure, we would make a good-looking couple. We're meant for each other m'Lady. You're the only one who doesn't see it.
(She glares at him. Her earrings beep.)
Ladybug: This conversation is not over. (She swings away)
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: I won't soon forget this, Ladybug and Cat Noir. The love you both secretly have for each other will be your downfall. (his window closes)
"As if, our will only makes us stronger". Marinette says in defiance.
"You said it Princess". Adrien says putting a hand on Marinette's shoulder.
Scene: The street outside Montparnasse Tower. Ms. Bustier, Alya, and Nino get on the class bus. People are chatting.
Alya: (ashamed) Right, so, Nino and I wanted to say, we're sorry for what happened today.
Mylène: Were you two Oblivio?
Marinette: Why did you want to erase everyone's memory?
Alya: Remember when we visited Montparnasse Tower? (A mute flashback to Alya and Nino in a storage closet is shown. They are holding a tablet together.) Well, we went and hid to play Super Penguino, (The screen shows a penguin platformer game) but Ms. Bustier caught us, (Alya and Nino are about to kiss) and—
Nino: (The closet door opens and Ms. Bustier's shadow falls over them) And you guys made fun of us for playing that game, (Ms. Bustier is looking at them with a neutral expression, Kim, Sabrina, Chloé and Ivan are behind her, laughing.) saying it wasn't our age and all.
Alya: (Alya and Nino's shadowy faces look worried) We were totally embarrassed at getting caught.
Nino: And that's when we got akumatized. (The tablet the two of them are holding has an akuma about to enter it)
"Wow, that's a powerful Akuma, for a quick Moment of embarrassment". Adrien says surprised.
Ms. Bustier: (grabs Alya's and Nino's shoulders and they look at her) Next time, just make sure you play at home and not on school field trips, understood?
Alya: Yes, Ms. Bustier, we're sorry again.
(They find their seats.)
Rose: It's no biggie, you know. Juleka and I often play Super Penguino together.
Mylène: Everybody loves that game, you know.
"So we over reacted over nothing". Nino sigh embarrassed while Marinette pats his back.
"I've been there Nino, it's okay". She says to make him feel better.
Sabrina: (turning around in her seat) You know, sometimes even Chloé and I—
Chloé: Hey!
Adrien: (as Nino sits next to him) I haven't played it yet, but it looks fun.
Alya: (to Adrien) All you need is to find the right partner. (She turns) Right Marinette?
Marinette: (holding her face, looking down) Mm hm...
Scene: Dupain-Cheng apartment, night. Marinette's room. Marinette is looking at the photo on the Ladyblog.
Marinette: I don't believe it! (pounding her head on the desk) I actually kissed Cat Noir! How could this have happened?
Tikki: Who knows? Maybe you still have some things to learn about him.
Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien is also looking at the Ladyblog.
Adrien: I can't believe it, Plagg. She finally fell in love with me, and I've forgotten all about it! (pounds his head on the desk)
Plagg: (eating Camembert) You're right, that's really unlucky. (throws a wedge into his mouth and makes eating noises)
"You know it's unlucky if it comes from the Kwami of bad luck". Trixx says with a fox-like giggle.
Adrien: You know what? (sits up) It doesn't matter. If it happened once, it can happen again. At least now, (leans down) I know my dream can come true.
"That was Oblivio I hoped you enjoyed it''. Luminous says stopping the episode.
"It was great, but more importantly, Master Fu, do you think us knowing our identities helps in battle more than when they're a secret"? Marinette asks, getting to the point.
"Despite my hesitancy towards this, you two do make a much more effective team when you know your identities. But in the Battle Adrien almost called you by your real name, he must be more careful so as to not make that mistake again". Fu explains to the two Holders.
"Yes master we won't disappoint you". The two say together.
"Great now that that's over, I gotta free Alya". Luminous says snapping her fingers to free the young reporter.
"Gee thanks for That". Alya says sarcastically rubbing her wrists now that she's freed.
"You're welcome, now Who wants to pick the next episode"? She asks pulling out her Hat.
"I say Fang Choses again"! Trixx suggested.
"Uhh okay, I don't mind doing that If everyone else is okay with it". Luminous says surprised by the suggestion hearing no opposition Luminous turns to Jagged for permission.
"Go ahead Mate, Jagged loves the toys you give him". Jagged says okay with it.
"Okay then you guys can take a quick break while I go set up the Dolls & pool for Fang to choose an episode from". Luminous says walking off to set up her rig again(A.N Quick question Same Hawkmoth & Lie-la dolls from Last time or different dolls?)
