The Scene is Collège Françoise Dupont. Miss Bustier teaches the students, while Alya cuts out a picture of Ladybug. Alya uses the Ladybug cutout and puts it over the student's faces
"I'm very pleased with how you all did on your last assignment. Some of you have really stepped up, and I do appreciate it. Now it's time to move on to our next assignment" Said Miss Bustier.
Alya sees Chloé, pointing at Miss Bustier. Miss Bustier looks at Alya.
"Is Marinette still in the girls' room?" Asked Miss Bustier. "Uh... I don't know, miss" Said Alya, as the bell rings. "Ok. Tonight I want you all to read chapter three of the breathtaking book France, the First Thousand Years. Then, answer this simple questionnaire. See to it that Marinette receives her homework" Said Miss Bustier, giving two questionnaires to Alya.
The Scene shifts to Outside the classroom. Alya tries to call Marinette, but gets her voicemail instead.
"It's Marinette, leave a message. Beep! He he" Said Marinette's Voicemail.
Alya starts to search for Marinette, starting in the toliet. Alya calls out for Marinette, and gets no response. Alya moves her search to outside of he classroom, and sees Rose and Juleka.
"Uhh, have you guys seen Marinette anywhere?" Asked Alya.
Rose and Juleka shake their heads. Alya enters the locker room, where she sees Chloé taking something from her locker. It's a Ladybug costume and yo-yo.
"Is Chloé Ladybug?" Asked Alya, whispering.
The Scene shifts to Outside the school. Chloé boards her limousine, and Alya follows her, leaving a message for Marinette.
"Hey, Marinette. Ring me ASAP. We gotta talk. Nino, wait!" Shouted Alya, as she sees Nino. "Yeah?" Asked Nino. "Come with me, I need your help!" Shouted Alya. "So..." Said Nino, but Alya shushes him.
Alya tries to call Marinette again, but...
"It's Marinette, leave a message. Beep! He he" Said Marinette's Voicemail. "Ughh. I hate when she goes AWOL. She's not calling me back! Where is that girl?!" Asked Alya. "Seriously. My man Adrien's the exact same way. But I guess you gotta be sly when Mr. Control Freak is your daddy-o" Said Nino.
Alya's Phone rings. Alya answer it, and it opens on a news report, showing Ladybug, Cat Noir and Hope, as Kamen Rider Zi-O Faiz Armour, waving at a crowd of people.
"Once again, Ladybug, Cat Noir and Hope have saved Paris from the clutches of Mr. Pigeon" Said Nadja, as Alya sees Ladybug's yo-yo. "Hey! I think I've just sniffed out who the real Ladybug is! Chloé" Wispered Alya. "Chloé? Seriously? She's too self-absorbed to think of anyone but herself, much less save the world. You are cray-cray, lady" Said Nino, laughing. "I am so not! You'll see!" Declared Alya.
The Scene shifts to Paris. Ladybug is jumping above ceilings. She reaches a billboard and detransforms into Marinette.
"Time flies fast when you're saving the world. Day's already over!" Exclaimed Tikki. "Tell me about it. I missed an entire half day of school AND half day of seeing Adrien!" Declared Marinette. "Whoever's behind all of this sure is keeping us on our toes" Said Tikki. "You don't have any toes!" Declared Marinette, laughing.
Marinette enters the bakery, stretching and yawning
"Alya brought your school bag home for you, Marinette" Said Sabine. "Hey mom..." Said Marinette. "You seem so forgetful these days. Maybe you just need some fresh air and extra exercise for that growing brain of yours" Said Sabine. "Good idea, mom. I'll start tomorrow" Said Marinette, as Sabine kisses her.
The Scene moves up to Marinette's room. Marinette does homework.
"Ladybug saved Paris from destruction once again, but who's gonna save Marinette from her homework? What's this? Call me. I know who the real Ladybug is?" Asked Marinette, as she read from a sticky note on her bag. "No way! You think she knows?" Asked Tikki. "I doubt it. Alya's always jumping to conclusions before she has her facts straight" Said Marinette. "But just in case..." Said Tikki. "No worries Tikki. I got it covered" Said Marinette.
Marinette tries to call Alya, but there is no signal.
"Dang. No signal" Said Marinette.
She goes to the balcony to see if there is any signal, but sees a man working on the cell tower.
"Sorry, miss. Cell tower maintenance. The whole neighborhood's down. No signal for the next hour" Said the electrician. "Come on, Marinette. Try again later. Let's head down and finish your homework" Said Tikki.
The Scene shifts to the right, to College the next day. Chloé and Sabrina enter the school, and some students are watching her, including Aurore and Mireille.
"Hey there! Hi! You look totally fab! Uh, no, not you. Hey, it's still a month from Halloween, you know?" Asked Chloé. "You need to have your head examined. If she's a superhero, then I'm the Wizard of Oz" Said Nino. "I'm telling you, she's Ladybug" Said Alya. "Can you prove it?" Asked Nino.
The Scene shifts back to Marinette's room. Marinette and Tikki wake up.
"Uh... what time is it?" Asked Tikki. "Uhh, school starts in... An hour ago?!" Exclaimed Marinette, as she checks her phone
The Scene shifts to the Locker room of Collège Françoise Dupont. Alya talks to Nino.
"Now don't mess up your lines" Said Alya, as she pushes Nino to the lockers. "Oh, uhhh... Ladybug! Look over there!" Shouted Nino, to Chloé. "Uhh, what kind of lame joke is this?" Asked Chloé. "Uhh, well, that was... Did you see Ladybug yesterday? Isn't she amazing? I wonder who she really is" Said Nino. "Uhh... up too late DJ-ing, Nino? Obviously you didn't get your beauty sleep" Said Chloé.
Alya takes a photo of Chloé's locker.
"Uh... Chloé! Alya's looking in your locker!" Declared Sabrina. "Uhh... that's a lie! I so was not! Hey! Give it back!" Shouted Alya as Kim steals Alya's phone, throwing it to Chloé who then looks at the phone. "Who's the little liar now?" Asked Chloé.
The Scene shifts to Mr. Damocles' office.
"She's guilty of invasion of privacy! I have proof!" Declared Chloé. "What?! Seriously! All I did was take a measly photo!" Declared Alya. "I'm sorry, Chloé. But there's no school policy on invasion of privacy" Said Mr. Damocles. "Then... then breaking and entering!" Declared Chloé. "I didn't break into her locker! It was open!" Declared Alya. "And nothing was stolen?" Asked Mr. Damocles. "Only my very soul! My locker is my secret garden! He who enters uninvited burglarizes my inner being and steals my life force!" Declared Chloé, pretending to cry. "Right. An hour of detention for you, Alya" Said Mr. Damocles. "Are my ears failing me? Did I hear you're giving one miserable hour of detention to a... a heinous criminal? Sabrina!" Commanded Chloé. "The school rules clearly state that any student guilty of theft should be suspended for one full week" Said Sabrina. "Yes, but she's hardly stole anything" Said Mr. Damocles. "I'm not sure that my father would share your point of view" Said Chloé, as she prepares to call her father. "Uhhh, well, now, Chloé, let's not bother your father, I mean, the honorable Mayor with a minor locker situation..." Said Mr. Damocles.
Chloé starts calling her father.
"Ehhh... what I mean is, you're suspended for a week, Alya" Said Mr. Damocles. "What?! That is so unfair! I am so gonna protest this on the school blog!" Declared Alya. "Well, that is your right... " Said Mr. Damocles.
Mr. Damocles looks at Chloé who's smugly shaking her phone and sighs.
"... However and, unfortunately, the school blog... is hereby suspended as well" Said Mr. Damocles. "She's no superhero, she's super-psycho!" Declared Alya, as she looks at Chloé angrily.
The Scene shifts to Hawk Moth's lair.
"Ahhh... School life. Such a science experiment. A petri dish of cultivating secrets, lies and betrayal, the thriving vivarium for my evil akumas. Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he turns a butterfly into an akuma.
The Scene returns to Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette runs to the front door.
"I'm late, I'm late, I'm so, so late!" Declared Marinette.
As Marinette runs upstairs, Alya walks down a different set of stairs, running away from the school. She tries to call Marinette.
"It's Marinette, leave a message. Beep! He he" Said Marinette's Voicemail.
The akuma phases into her cell phone, evilizing her.
"Lady Wifi, I heard through the grapevine that you're seeking to unmask Ladybug... I'd like to help you if you agree to help me too" Said Hawk Moth. "I'll expose the lies of anyone who covers up the truth! Sign me up!" Declared Alya.
Alya is turned into Lady Wifi. The Scene shifts to Miss Bustier's classroom. Marinette enters, and sees Adrien and Nino. Marinette taps Nino on the shoulder and whispers to him
"Where is she?" Asked Marinette. "She's been suspended..." Said Nino. "What?!" Exclaimed Marinette, calling attention to herself. "Marinette, if you're going to come late, would you please do it discretely?" Asked Miss Bustier, as Hope entered the classroom. "Sorry..." Said Marinette. "I apologise for being late, Miss Bustier" Said Hope. "I understand. You were doing superhero work, right?" Asked Miss Bustier. "... A duck got into my house and stole the Onjuuken Suzune, so I chased it to the Louvre..." Said Hope, taking a seat next to Marinette. "What happened to her?" Wispered Marinette. "Who?" Wispered Hope. "Alya" Wispered Marinette. "Oh no... Alya messaged me. She said she was going to find out Ladybug's Identity" Wispered Hope. "What? How?" Wispered Marinette. "Well, ah... She thought Ladybug was Chloé" Wispered Hope. "WHAT?!" Yelled Marinette. "That's it, Marinette. I would like it if you went to the principal's office" Said Miss Bustier. "I'm also part of the problem" Said Hope. "Then you should go as well" Said Miss Bustier.
Marinette takes her bag and she and Hope leave the classroom.
"What are you talking about?" Wispered Adrien. "Exactly what I said, bro. Alya says Chloé is Ladybug! She is crazy" Wispered Nino.
Adrien sees Chloé; she winks at him and he is confused then he turns his head towards his tablet. Hope and Marinette arrive at the principal's office.
"Mr. Damocles?" Asked Marinette.
Marinette opens the door, and Hope pokes his head inside
"Sir? Oh no" Said Hope
Hope forces the door open, revealing that Mr. Damocles is frozen, and a pink stop icon is in front of him.
"What happened to him?" Asked Marinette. "I think this icon has something to do with his condition" Said Hope.
The computer screen and various monitors around the school lights up, revealing Lady Wifi.
"I'm Lady Wifi, revealer of the truth! For our first exposé, your principal would like to share a little tidbit with you. So, Mr. Damocles, is it true you wrongly suspended a student named Alya today?" Asked Lady Wifi. "Uh... yes, it is" Said Mr. Damocles. "So, you were biased? Unfair? Totally unjust?!" Asked Lady Wifi. "Because I feared what would happen to me and my job, I was biased, unfair and unjust" Said Mr. Damocles.
Marinette and Hope notices the phone Lady Wifi is holding and the ladybug charm on it
"That's Alya..." Said Hope. "I can't believe Hawk Moth got to Alya" Said Marinette. "Marinette, I..." Said Hope.
Hope turned back to Marinette, but she was gone. Outside, Marinette walked halfway up the stairs to the Library.
"Marinette, you're going to have to fight your best friend!" Declared Tikki. "Nope! I'm gonna have to save my best friend! Tikki, spots on! Yeah!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug
"For my next scoop, I'll be taking you to meet the girl who's been hiding behind the Ladybug mask!" Declared Lady Wifi.
Lady Wifi puts a pink stop icon on Mr. Damocles, freezing him
"Stay connected!" Declared Lady Wifi, as she turns the screen off. "Everyone, for your own safety, go directly home right now! And don't forget to read chapters four and five" Said Miss Bustier, as the students run out.
Meanwhile, Hope looks at the screen that Lady Wifi was broadcasting on in Mr. Damocles's office.
"Alya... I promise I'll get you back to normal" Said Hope.
Hope held up the Ankokuken Kurayami, and the Jaken Caliburdriver appeared around his waist. Hope then held up the Jakku Dragon Wonder Ride Book and pressed it against the Ankokuken Kurayami's Jagan Reader, making the Ankokuken Kurayami declare "Jaaku Read!". Hope then placed Jakku Dragon into the Jaken Caliburdriver, and slammed the bottom of the Ankokuken Kurayami into the top of the Jaken Caliburdriver, making it announce "Ankokuken Kurayami! Get go under conquer than get keen. Jaaku Dragon! Kurayami Honyaku! Hikari wo ubaishi, shikkoku no ken ga reikoku mujou ni ankoku ryuu o shihai suru!", as Hope was transformed into Kamen Rider Calibur Jakku Dragon. Meanwhile, in the Bathroom was Adrien.
"If Chloé is Ladybug like Alya said, then Lady Wifi's gonna head straight for her house!" Declared Adrien. "And it also means you must have a crush on Chloé" Said Plagg, laughing.
Adrien grunts in protest
"Plagg, claws out!" Declared Adrien.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir
The Scene shifts to the city. Cat Noir runs in the ceiling and sees the hotel. He takes his staff and sees Chloé dressed as Ladybug
"What? This can't be!" Declared Adrien. "Trust me. It's not" Said Hope, walking up to Cat Noir. "Who's being a sneaky kitty now?" Asked Ladybug. "Oh, Ladybug. But..." Said Cat Noir. "Come on, you don't actually believe she's the real Ladybug" Said Ladybug.
Chloé keeps playing with her yo-yo and ends up tying herself up.
"Yeah, of course not" Said Cat Noir. "And besides, who would believe that she's the original Ladybug? She's obviously just a die-hard fan. A copycat?" Asked Ladybug. "Right" Said Cat Noir. "Still..." Said Hope. "What?" Asked Ladybug. "That could still just be a hologram and you could be Chloé. But, with how much Chloé likes the sound of her own voice, keeping it a secret the past 36 days is a statistical improbability. Like... off the top of my head... 0 Percent. If she talks 50 times a day" Said Hope. "Well, obviously. But trust me when I say, I am not Chloé Bourgeois" Said Ladybug. "
The Scene moves into Chloé's room. Chloé dressed as Ladybug, is trying to untie herself, when her cell phone rings. Chloé answers the phone, still tangled up
"Hello?" Asked Chloé.
The phone starts to emit a bright pink glow. Chloé throws it away, and Lady Wifi appears.
"Well, hello there, Ladybug!" Declared Lady Wifi.
Chloé tries to run away, but Lady Wifi puts a pink pause icon on Chloé, stopping her. Meanwhile, the onlooking superheroes watch on
"We got Wifi!" Declared Ladybug. "Time for Lady Wifi to be Blue Screened" Said Hope
Ladybug and Cat Noir head to the hotel.
"... It was better then what Cat Noir came up with, witch was nothing" Said Hope.
Hope heads to the Hotel, as Lady Wifi puts a camera icon above Chloé
"Well, well... So my hunch was correctamundo" Said Lady Wifi.
Lady Wifi appears on every screen in Paris, as she continues talking.
"Everyone thinks the girl beneath the Ladybug costume is a little angel. Think again, people! The real Ladybug is... Chloé Bourgeois, everyone!" Declared Lady Wifi.
Ladybug, Cat Noir and Hope enter the hotel
"Who are you?" Asked Lady Wifi. "Uhhh..." Stammered Cat Noir. "Fresh! Can't you identify everyone's favourite superheroes and Cat Nior?" Asked Hope. "Yeah!... Hey!" Shouted Cat Noir. "But I thought you were Ladybug!" Declared Lady Wifi. "See how she ignores us and zooms straight to Ladybug?" Asked Hope. "Sorry to bust your news story. Next time, double-check your facts" Said Cat Noir. "You'll be sorry" Said Lady Wifi.
Lady Wifi uses her cellphone to delete the pink icons, releasing Chloé. Chloé trips and falls.
"Alya?" Asked Marinette. "News flash! Alya's been disconnected. I'm Lady Wifi. Ladybug, let's find out who you really are!" Declared Lady Wifi.
Lady Wifi started shooting pink stop icons at the three heros, but Hope put a wall of darkness between the heroes and Lady Wifi.
"Follow me!" Declared Ladybug, as she ran towards the door. "I see" Said Hope, following her. "So what's the plan?" Asked Cat Noir, following them out of the room as Lady Wifi chases them.
Ladybug, Cat Noir and Hope run to the stairwell and starts running downstairs, Lady Wifi in hot pursuit
"She gets her powers from her phone, so let's lead her to the basement, where there is no service!" Declared Ladybug. "No service, no power. Nice one, my lady" Said Cat Noir.
Lady Wifi starts shooting pink stop icons at the three heroes
"We've gotta go lower!" Declared Ladybug. "I've got you now, Ladybug!" Laughed Lady Wifi. "Still being ignored..." Said Hope "Get ready!" Shouted Ladybug. "So, what do you do when you're not Ladybug?" Asked Cat Noir.
Ladybug looks shocked and nearly trips over before recovering
"Can't you see we're a little bit busy right now?" Asked Ladybug
She sees that Lady Wifi is no longer above them.
"She hasn't been following us for a little bit. I think she realised what we were doing" Said Hope. "She's gone back into the hotel" Said Ladybug, as Cat Noir inspects the door.
Cat Noir sees that pink lock icons have been put on all the nearby doors
"She locked all the doors! Hey, you realize we might actually know each other in normal life" Said Cat Noir, as he, Ladybug and Cat Noir started walking upstairs. "Doubt it" Said Ladybug. "No... I'm pretty sure we are all students of Collège Françoise Dupont" Said Hope. "What do you base your theory off of?" Asked Cat Noir. "We mustn't be doing this..." Said Ladybug. "Actually, we can do this so long as neither of you confirm your identity. This is purely speculative" Said Hope.
Hope took the Jakku Dragon Wonder Ride Book out of the Jaken CaliburDriver, before holding up the Onjuuken Suzune in Gun Play Mode.
"First a purple sword, now a pink gun?" Asked Cat Noir. "What, you don't accessorise for every occasion?" Asked Hope.
Hope inserted Jakku Dragon into the Onjuuken Suzune and pulled its trigger, transforming in an explosion of candy into Kamen Rider Slash Jakku Dragon.
"As for why I believe Collège Françoise Dupont is the school we all go to is by the Akuma Victims. So far, there have been 24 attacks from 13 different Akuma Victims, those being the front runner of Xavier Ramier, Mr. Pigeon, at 10, Ivan Bruel, Stoneheart, at 3, and the remaining have only done one, those being Nino Lahiffe into The Bubbler, Aurore Beauréal into Stormy Weather, James Duex into Leonardo Di Pinchi, Alix Kubdel into Timebreaker, Adam Rosenberg into Replay, A Fishermen I forgot the name of into Silurus, The Librarian with a name also forgotten into Sage Démone, Théo Barbot into Copycat, Jalil Kubdel into Pharaoh, Sabrina Raincomprix into Jester and Alya, you know, the Girl we all may be friends with, into Lady Wifi" Said Hope. "So, what are you getting at?" Asked Ladybug. "Out of 13 people, 7 of them, Ivan Bruel, Nino Lahiffe, Aurore Beauréal, Alix Kubdel, Adam Rosenberg, The Librarian and Alya Césaire, all connect to Collège Françoise Dupont. I also connect to Collège Françoise Dupont, being one of it's students" Said Hope. "Well, you got a point. So, witch classmates do you think we are?" Asked Cat Noir.
They reach the top door, which doesn't have a pink lock on it.
"She's left this one open" Said Cat Noir. "I think Ladybug is..." Said Hope. "Why are we still talking about this?" Asked Ladybug. "Because it's an interesting subject. Also, at least the cat isn't flirting with you. Anyway, Ladybug... I believe you are Juleka Couffaine" Said Hope. "Juleka?" Asked Ladybug. "Yeah. Juleka is usually so quiet and aloof and you are practically the same, minus the quiet part" Said Hope. As for Cat Noir..." Said Hope.
Cat Noir smiles in anticipation.
"You have to be Rose Lavillant" Said Hope. "Ahhhhhhhhh, hahahahahaha!" Laughed Ladybug. "What!? No way! How do you come to a conclusion like that!?" Asked Adrien. "Well, if Ladybug is Juleka then you have to be Rose. You two are practically inseparable. I mean, sure, Rose must be putting in more work, binding her chest and using a voice modulater, and hey I also have a 50/50 chance of being right, don't I?" Asked Hope. "Yeah, sure. Fifty-Fifty" Said Cat Noir. "Well, come on Rose. Juleka" Said Hope.
Hope opened the door and walked through to the dining room, only to find that Lady Wifi is nowhere to be found. Phones are on all the tables, and Ladybug and Cat Noir follow.
"Ahhh... And here I am hoping for an ambush. Follow me" Said Hope, walking out into the dining room. "Where is she hiding? And what's up with all these phones?" Asked Ladybug.
A pink light comes out from a phone, and Lady Wifi appears. She attacks them, and they more to hide behind tables in the room
"How now, brown cow? I thought it was you she was after!" Declared Cat Noir.
Ladybug ties Lady Wifi with her yo-yo as Hope shoots at her with the Onjuuken Suzune, but she disappears, re-appearing above one phone after another.
"Ha! You can't get me!" Declared Lady Wifi. "Yes I can" Said Ladybug.
Ladybug breaks the phones with her yo-yo while walking through the dining room. Lady Wifi attempts to ambush Ladybug by appearing out of a phone behind Ladybug, but Hope shoots her in the back knocking her in front of Ladybug before shooting the remaining phones, breaking them. Lady Wifi gets up and runs into the kitchen. When Ladybug follows her in, Lady Wifi locks the door behind her.
"This isn't good" Said Hope. "No, no, no... Hold on in there, Ladybug!" Shouted Cat Noir.
Cat Noir checks the hotel map in his staff.
"Of course! The service elevator!" Declared Cat Noir. "You go. I'll try and see if I have a way to break through" Said Hope.
Cat Noir runs off. Back in the kitchen, Ladybug dodges Lady Wifi's attacks until her hands get pinned to the wall by two lock icons. Lady Wifi puts a camera icon in front of her, and makes a projection in the sky outside.
"Who is Ladybug? Is she a superhero or a super-weirdo? How can we trust the girl when we have no idea who she really is? We have the right to know!" Declared Lady Wifi.
Lady Wifi tries to remove Ladybug's mask, but it won't come off, making Ladybug's face stretch out oddly.
"Why doesn't it come off?" Asked Lady Wifi. "Uhhh... because it's magic?" Asked Ladybug.
Suddenly, Lady Wifi is pushed away from Ladybug. Lady Wifi stands back up and turns around revealing Hope, untransformed, standing where she was.
"Don't you dare hurt her" Said Hope.
The service elevator door opens, and Cat Noir comes through.
"You're out of minutes, Lady Wifi!" Declared Cat Noir. "Oh, how romantic. The Boy Toys have come to save there love bug" Said Lady Wifi. "They are not my boy toys" Said Ladybug. "I'm personally not interested" Said Hope. "We'll come back to that later" Said Cat Noir.
Lady Wifi attacks Cat Noir, knocking him into the freezer room before locking the door with a lock symbol. His ring comes off, releasing Plagg, and Cat Noir turns into Adrien. Plagg shivers.
"My ring!" Shouted Adrien. "Ooh... so chilly in here" Said Plagg. "Where is it? I could use a little help!" Declared Adrien. "Well, well... what am I gonna do with both of you?" Asked Lady Wifi. "I know what I'm going to do with you" Said Hope, pointing the Onjuuken Suzune at Lady Wifi. "Get her to use her Lucky Charm! It'll force her to switch back, and her identity will be revealed, and her Miraculous will be mine" Said Hawk Moth, from his lair. "If you don't get him outta there fast, your crush will soon be slush. Ha ha ha" Laughed Lady Wifi.
She removes the locks from Ladybug's hands.
"Good luck with your cat popsicle! I have other news to cover!" Declared Lady Wifi, as she disappears. "Huh?" Asked Ladybug.
The Scene shifts to Outside Le Grand Paris. The mayor and two police cars are there.
"Come on..." Said Andre.
Chloé exits the hotel and hugs her father. She checks her phone, but Lady Wifi comes out from it and flies into the sky. She begins broadcasting herself.
"What's up, peeps! Listen everyone! I present you with the award-winning news story you've all been waiting for!" Declared Lady Wifi.
In the kitchen, Ladybug and Hope are trying to break down the door to the freezer room.
"I'll get you out of there, Cat Noir!" Declared Ladybug.
Adrien is shivering while he is trapped
"Take your time!" Shouted Adrien. "We rather wouldn't" Said Hope. "Don't blink, 'cause Ladybug's about to drop the bomb on her real identity!" Declared Lady Wifi, broadcasting. "Lucky..." Said Ladybug. "Hold on! I've had an idea" Said Hope. "What is It?" Asked Marinette.
Hope picked up a metal pot and slammed it into the pink symbol, causing it to crack.
"How did you do that?!" Asked Ladybug. "Tell me. Do you know what a wifi signal actually is?" Asked Hope. "Um... Not really" Said Ladybug. "That's fair. You see, a wifi signal is made up of wirelessly transmitted radio waves on the electromagnetic spectrum. Now, knowing that, naturally metal is the hardest material to penetrate with a wifi signal because it conducts electricity, so I'm really just hoping that works if we bring the metal to the wifi" Said Hope, as he hit the pink symbol again, making the cracks bigger.
Adrien finds his ring, and transforms into Cat Noir once again as Hope hits the pink symbol a third time, completely shattering it. The freezer door opens and Cat Noir is shivering while he falls and Ladybug catches him
"You okay, Cat Noir?" Asked Ladybug. "I'm just a little chilly. Did you...?" Asked Cat Noir. "Yeah, she did. It inspired me to use this pot" Said Hope, subtlety pointing out Lady Wifi's camera behind him. "I see. Now, how about we try opening the kitchen door?" Asked Cat Noir. "Well, a quicker way to get through this door..." Said Hope.
Hope stood up, and walked into full view of the camera
"Is by using the microwaves from the microwave to essentially melt the, and I'm calling it this for fun, magic wifi lock" Said Hope. "What are you doing?" Asked Ladybug. "Stay there, makes sure he's warm. That freezer took a lot out of him. I'll take out the door and destroy the router on the roof. That will neutralise Lady Wifi so we can steal her phone, break it and get Alya back" Said Hope.
Hope quickly tosses his pot over the top of the camera icon, blocking Lady Wifi's screen.
"What is he up to?" Asked Lady Wifi, outside the hotel. "Don't let my Miraculous get away!" Demanded Hawk Moth, from his lair. "Right" Said Lady Wifi.
Meanwhile, inside the Hotel
"Ok, now that Lady Wifi knows what I want her to know, I need you two to head for the roof" Said Hope. "Why?" Asked Cat Noir, standing up. "Have you ever heard of a xanatos gambit, Cat Noir?" Asked Hope. "Ah, no" Said Cat Noir. "I understand. You'll learn about them in due time. Have fun in the service elevator you two. And make sure you destroy the router, or antenna or whatever it's called" Said Hope.
Cat Noir and Ladybug get in the service elevator
"It's a bit of a tight fit" Said Ladybug. "I'll go and jam the wi-fi antenna. Good luck" Said Cat Noir. "Same to you" Said Hope.
Ladybug closes the service elevator, as the lock on the kitchen doors dissipated.
"You didn't come here for little old me, did you?" Asked Hope, as Lady Wifi walked through the doors. "Where are Ladybug and Cat Noir!?" Asked Lady Wifi. "Come on. Why not interview me?" Asked Hope. "Sure!" Declared Lady Wifi.
Lady Wifi fired a pink pause symbol at Hope, witch he dodged before grabbing the wrist of the hand she was holding her phone in. Lady Wifi pulled back, but Hope didn't let go. Suddenly, an alarm went off on Lady Wifi's phone.
"Someone sent you an e-mail?" Asked Hope. "No! That's an alarm I made just outside of the closest exit to the Wifi Antenna, and it seems that..." Said Lady Wifi, looking at her phone and watching a video of Cat Noir at the Wifi Antenna. "Here you are! Cataclysm!" Declared Cat Noir, in the video. "Where's... Where's Ladybug?" Asked Lady Wifi. "Have you checked over your shoulder?" Asked Hope.
Suddenly, Ladybug's Yoyo coiled around Lady Wifi's phone, and pulled it out of her hand.
"A phone? For me? You shouldn't have" Said Ladybug. "Well, I couldn't just forget your birthday could i?" Asked Hope. "Heh heh" Said Ladybug.
Ladybug threw the phone onto the ground, but it didn't break.
"What the...?" Asked Ladybug. "It's a phone, Ladybug. It takes a few tosses and even then it's not the toss you want" Said Hope. "Seriously? I hope we don't have this issue every time with her" Said Ladybug. "Well, next time you can be the wrist holder" Said Hope.
Ladybug uses her Yoyo to break the phone, releasing its akuma
"Alright! No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly" Said Ladybug, as she catches the akuma with her yo-yo and releases it, and turns it into a normal butterfly. "I think you might need this now" Said Hope, as he pulled a red and black earpiece out of his ear. "Absolutely" Said Ladybug. "Xanatos gambit. There's a reason it's called Morton's Fork" Said Hope. "Miraculous Ladybug!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug throws the Lucky Charm into the air, and it explodes into a blast of energy. It turns everything back to normal, and Lady Wifi turns back into Alya, as Hope lets go of her wrist and walks over to Ladybug, as Cat Noir comes down some stairs behind them and walks over to them.
"What?" Asked Alya. "A job well done, us" Said Hope. "Pound it!" Declared Hope, Ladybug and Cat Noir. "Ladybug! Wow! And Cat Noir! Hope too! Can I get a quick interview? Just let me grab my phone!" Exclaimed Alya.
Cat Noir's Miraculous beeps
"Uhh... gotta go. You've only got a minute" Said Cat Noir, before Cat Noir and Ladybug run away. "So- oh, no! Where did they go?" Asked Alya. "I'm still here. I don't think I've given you a proper interview. So, for not being at school when you needed me... would you like an interview?" Asked Hope.
Meanwhile, Ladybug is about to enter a room, but Cat Noir stops her.
"Stay! I won't tell anyone who you are. Cat's honor" Said Cat Noir. "Nobody must know who we really are. Not even us" Said Ladybug.
She closes the door. Cat Noir tries to open it, but Ladybug detransforms.
"Phew, that was too close for comfort!" Declared Tikki. "Tell me about it" Said Marinette.
Marinette opens the door, seeing nobody outside, as Adrien leaves the hotel.
"That was the chance to find out who the love of your life really is! What were you thinking?" Asked Plagg. "That's the thing, Plagg. I wasn't thinking. I was following my heart" Said Adrien. "Your mask will fall one day, Ladybug. You'll have no choice then but to hand over your precious Miraculous!" Declared Hawk Moth, as his window closes.
The Scene shifts to the Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette is in the balcony with Tikki.
"Is that true? You're gonna tell him? Is that what your heart's saying?" Asked Tikki. "Sometimes your heart tells you one thing, but a great superhero always listens to her head" Said Marinette. "Got it!" Declared Alya, as she climbed up to the balcony. "Waaahhh!" Exclaimed Marinette. "Kon'nichiwa, tomoyo" Said Hope, as he joined them on the balcony. "Wanna see my new smartphone? It puts my old phone to shame! Just look at these pics!" Declared Alya, as she showed Marinette her new phone. "Huh? What's with all these photos of Adrien?" Asked Marinette. "She has a theory. It's, admittedly, a bit better then mine" Said Hope. "What's the theory?" Asked Marinette. "Well... with a mask and a costume, don't you think he looks a little bit like Cat Noir?" Asked Alya. "Are you out of your mind? He's tons more legit than Cat Noir!" Declared Marinette. "Hey! I happened to think that Cat Noir is pretty slick" Said Alya. "He's a solid 5 out of 10, 50% guy" Said Hope. "Anyway, stop taking photos of Adrien. Well, unless you give them to me, afterwards" Said Marinette, as she snatches Alya's phone. "Give it back" Said Alya, as she runs after Marinette. "Nope!" Declared Marinette. "Oh, come on, Marinette! What if you drop it? Everyone knows how clumsy you are!" Declared Alya.
Alya and Marinette stop running and start laughing.
