Marinette as Ladybug swings through the streets of Paris before she enters her room through the trapdoor on her roof, landing on her bed and transforming back into Marinette. On Marinette's computer Nadja is giving a news report
"Ladybug, Hope and Cat Noir have saved Paris yet again" Said Nadja, on the computer. "And yet again, Marinette hopes she'll finally have enough time to complete her magic box" Said Marinette. "What's the magic box for, Marinette?" Asked Tikki. "To lock up my diary, and all my secrets" Said Marinette. "Every little secret? You're telling me that you write everything down in that thing?" Asked Tikki. "Uh... yeah, something wrong?" Asked Marinette.
Marinette repeatedly closes and opens her box to test if it works
"Well, for one, what if someone finds out you're Ladybug? And two, what if someone finds out you're Ladybug?!" Asked Tikki. "Not gonna happen. Try it, Tikki" Said Marinette.
Tikki flies in the box and tries to lift the diary, but gets locked in
"Hey!" Shouted Tikki. "And... it works!" Declared Marinette, as she unlocks the box to free Tikki. "Yesterday, Mr. Bourgeois was re-elected as mayor of Paris for the fourth consecutive term. Here we see Mr. Bourgeois with his daughter" Said Nadja, from the computer. "Ugh! Look at Chloé, acting as if she were the mayor of Paris! Oh! Which reminds me, Class Representative Elections are tomorrow!" Declared Marinette. "What's so bad about that?" Asked Tikki. "Chloé is running for class rep. The one person who cares the least about the students, and the most about herself" Said Marinette. "Well then, maybe you should run!" Declared Tikki. "I totally would, but, don't you think I got enough to do with my duties as Ladybug and all my school work?" Asked Marinette. "Yes, but, if you truly believe in something, you have to try and make it work. It's better to fail trying than not having tried at all!" Declared Tikki. "Maybe..." Said Marinette. "Don't underestimate yourself, Marinette!" Declared Tikki. "Armand D'Argencourt, one of Bourgeois's opponents, and fencing instructors of Françoise Dupont High School, was pummeled in the polls. In fact, D'Argencourt acquired the least number of votes in Paris History" Said Nadja, from the computer.
Marinette looks at the clock on the computer, and gasps.
"I'm going to be late for school! Again! See, this is what I'm talking about!" Declared Marinette, before she closes the computer.
The Scene shifts to Collège Françoise Dupont. Ms. Bustier is talking about the election.
"Chloé is running for the class representative position and Sabrina will be her deputy. Do we have any other candidates?" Asked Ms. Bustier.
Kim raises his hand but Chloé and Sabrina glare at him.
"Yes, Kim?" Asked Ms. Bustier. "Um, er... nothing" Said Kim.
Marinette enters the classroom.
"Hi! I'm sorry! I-uh, I-uh, the bus, dry throat!" Declared Marinette, as she went to take her seat. "Chloé's running again! She's been class rep since when? Kindergarten?" Asked Alya. "Oh! Why don't you run as candidate? You'd make an awesome representative!" Declared Marinette. "No can do. My blog is a full-time job!" Declared Alya. "It's a whenever a superhero shows up-time job" Said Hope. "Like right now?" Asked Alya. "I've been here most of class" Said Hope. "Alright, I'll give all of you till the end of lunch to decide if you like to be a candidate" Said Ms. Bustier.
The Scene moves out to the Court. Chloé talks to the other students about the election as Marinette, Hope and Alya watch on. As Chloé walks away from him, Marinette, Hope and Alya move in and talk to him, and then Rose and Alix.
"So what did Chloé say to you this time? She offered to go on a date with you?" Asked Marinette. "No, she threatened to tell everyone I'm afraid of spiders" Said Kim. "She told me that if I ran for the election, I'd get kicked out of scrapbooking club, and you know how much I love all those stickers, colorful scraps of papers, and gluing!" Declared Rose. "I couldn't care less about being a candidate, and what's your excuses?" Asked Alix. "I'm a hero and I find meetings boring" Said Hope. "I have a blog to maintain" Said Alya. "Well, uh, um, I'm... really busy!" Declared Marinette, as she thinks about being Ladybug and saving Paris. "With what? Oversleeping?" Asked Alya. "Don't nitpick. Blog maintainment doesn't sound as overtaxing as you believe" Said Hope. "Well, No! But, uh, well, I guess I would run if no one else did" Said Marinette.
Back in the Classroom, Miss Bustier talks about the election.
"So, any new candidates who would like to run against Chloé and Sabrina?" Asked Miss Bustier.
Marinette looks around, looking at Kim and Rose, the latter of whom squeaks
"Given that Chloé and Sabrina are the only candidates, there's no point in voting. So, Chloé and Sabrina..." Said Miss Bustier.
Chloé and Sabrina sigh in satisfaction, but both Marinette and Hope raise their hand
"I'll run!" Declared Hope and Marinette. "Wonderful! You'll all need to develop your campaign and have a speech ready by tomorrow. We'll have the vote then" Said Miss Bustier.
After class, in the Court, The students are talking about Marinette and Hope running for class rep. Marinette and Hope sit next to each other, as Alya and a few students talk to them
"So, let's hear the scoop on your campaigns! How are you both gonna represent?" Asked Alya. "Represent?" Asked Marinette. "I agree with the tone used to say that" Said Hope. "Uh, I have no idea. I still can't believe I raised my hand..." Said Marinette. "Way to go, Marinette and Hope! You both spoke from the heart, it was truly authentic!" Declared Rose, before she giggles. "Huh? Oh, uh... Thanks" Said Marinette. "Yeah, thanks Rose. I just didn't think it would have been fair for someone to win by default" Said Hope. "When either of you win, can we get more comfortable chairs? They are so hard, I can barely concentrate in class. Maybe pink ones!" Declared Rose, as she gasps in delight. "And it'd be primo if we could listen to our beats while we study in the library" Said Nino. "Uh, you know... um, I don't-, you know" Said Juleka. "Um... Sure, Juleka" Said Marinette. "When I become class rep, I'll definitely ask what you just said" Said Hope.
Adrien walks by the group talking to Hope and Marinette, and Alya sees Adrien.
"Adrien! Marinette can count on your vote, right?" Asked Alya. "Or me? I'd really like a confirmed vote early into the race" Said Hope, standing up. "Sure. Depending on your speeches..." Said Adrien. "Better get cracking on that campaign" Said Marinette, standing up. "But first, a honourable handshake for an honourable collage election?" Asked Hope, putting his hand out for Marinette to shake. "Certainly" Said Marinette, before she shakes Hope's hand.
Alya takes a picture of Hope and Marinette shaking hands, before we swing over to Chloé and Sabrina watching Hope and Marinette
"I've watched how my daddy wins every election, and I'm going to follow in his footsteps. I know just how to win!" Declared Chloé. "By having the best campaign?" Asked Sabrina. "Ha! Whatever! The secret to winning in politics is ruining your opponent's reputation!" Declared Chloé.
The Scene moves to the Dupain-Cheng House. Marinette is in her room, thinking about her campaign.
"Softer chairs, music in the library, whatever Juleka said... I'm writing down everyone's issues! Now I just have to get all this in my election speech" Said Marinette. "I'm proud of you, I'm sure you're gonna win! You'll make an awesome class rep!" Declared Tikki. "They're all relying on me to defeat Chloé. Even Adrien, do you realize that?" Asked Marinette.
Marinette's phone vibrates. It's Alya calling
"Marinette, battle's on" Said Alya. "Why? What's going on?" Asked Marinette. "Chloé's invited the whole class to her campaign launch party at City Hall and she's got Jagged Stone coming, too!" Declared Alya. "Seriously? Jagged Stone, my favorite star?! I love him! Oh, and so does everyone else" Said Marinette. "Precisely! She's trying to buy student votes with autographs!" Declared Alya. "Not if I have anything to say about it! Meet you there!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette leaves the house, but forgets her diary. Sabrina, undercover, is about to enter the bakery to look for something to embarrass Marinette.
"I'm going in, Chloé" Said Sabrina, as she enters the bakery. "Hello" Said Sabine. "Hi there! Marinette borrowed my math book for our Geometry homework, but I need it back" Said Sabrina. "Marinette's not here, uh, I've got customers to attend to, but go on up and grab it from her room if you don't mind" Said Sabine. "I'd be glad to, thanks" Said Sabrina.
The Scene is back at College. Adrien is in fencing class. Nadja Chamack, hidden, sees them. Mr. D'Argencourt defeats Adrien with a special attack.
"Wow, Mr. D'Argencourt, never seen you on fire like this! That was some attack!" Declared Adrien. "It ought be. This particular maneuver hither was developed by my ancestor Darkblade" Said Mr. D'Argencourt. "Darkblade?" Asked Adrien. "In the days of yore, Darkblade conquered Paris and ruled over it with an iron fist. Until he was overthrown vence by a wealthy Frenchman who used his dirty gold to buy the loyalties of the common people. To think that not so long ago, my ancestor's flag was waving above Paris..." Said Mr. D'Argencourt. "Is that what you ran in the election, Mr. D'Argencourt? To seek revenge on your ancestors behalf?" Asked Nadja. "Par le fer! Who dost we have hither?" Asked Mr. D'Argencourt. "Nadja Chamack. Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Do you have anything to say about your quote un-quote landslide defeat?" Asked Nadja. "Hey, you! Excuse me! How did you get in the school?" Asked Fred, approaching Nadja and her camera man. "I think it's time to get back to the studio!" Declared Nadja, before she runs away. "Get back here!" Shouted Fred. "Here endeth the lesson, on a final lesson. Fate at each moment bites backeth" Said Mr. D'Argencourt.
The Scene shifts to Hawk Moth's lair, as his window opens
"A loser and an utter failure in an election. But the perfect candidate to lobby my own campaign. Fly away, my evil little akuma, and take control of this defeated fighter!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he turns a butterfly into an akuma.
The Scene moves Outside the school. Mr. D'Argencourt is leaving, but Nadja Chamack finds him.
"Mr. D'Argencourt, it has been said, and I quote, that you're stuck in the dark ages like a stubborn old rusted battle-axe. What do you have to say to that?" Asked Nadja. "Poisonous wretch! Dares't thou approach with such venomous questions. Be gone, now, pestilent pain in the neck!" Declared Mr. D'Argencourt.
Mr. D'Argencourt bumps into a poster with Mr. Bourgeois in it. He slices it to pieces. The akuma comes and enters his saber.
"Darkblade... In return for the powers I'm giving you, you'll capture Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous for me" Said Hawk Moth. "When the flag bearing the emblem of mine ancestors lies once again upon the roof of City Hall, then to thee I shall indeed be indebted!" Declared Mr. D'Argencourt, as he turns into Darkblade. "Anything y-you'd like to say about your t-transformation into a..." Said Nadja, nervously. "Darkblade! The lord of Paris!" Declared Darkblade.
Darkblade uses his sword to turn Nadja and the cameraman into knights
"Thou shalt become my knights! Soon my army shalt be immense and unstoppable! We shall take City Hall by storm and reclaim the throne from Bourgeois the usurper!" Declared Darkblade, as he cuts the billboard in half with his sword.
Adrien and Plagg are watching what happens; Plagg drifts idly over Adrien's shoulder
"Whoa, that's some medieval madness!" Declared Plagg. "You're telling me! Time to transform! Plagg, claws out!" Declared Adrien, as he walked back into the school.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir
Meanwhile, Darkblade approaches the Gorilla
"Zounds! What a great beast to join our conquest! Cometh h're! I bethink thee'll maketh a grand royal guardeth!" Declared Darkblade, as he turns the Gorilla into a knight.
Civilians chant "Part le fer!" as Darkblade expands his army
"Let us to battle, knights! Part le fer!" Declared Darkblade. "The people had their say and they chose Bourgeois over you, D'Argencourt!" Declared Cat Noir. "How now! Mine path, blocked by a black cat!? What kind of insult is this? No matter. Thy peoples matter not to me, pussycat. D'Argencourt was defeated, not Darkblade! En garde!" Declared Darkblade.
The Scene shifts to Marinette's room. Sabrina is about to steal Marinette's diary.
"Chloé, I made it in. So, what am I looking for?" Asked Sabrina. "Anything. As long as it's totally embarrassing" Said Chloé, from Sabrina's Phone. "Wait, I had one just like this! How about... a ball of yarn! Or a screwdriver?" Asked Sabrina, searching and finding a hat Marinette made. "Course not, dingbat! A disgusting photo of her or some really tacky piece of clothing! Dig around a bit!" Shouted Chloé. "Ohh... how about her diary?" Asked Sabrina, as she sees Marinette's diary. "Wow! You can actually accomplish something when you put my mind to it!" Declared Chloé.
Sabrina is about to grab the diary from the box, but the diary's box closes down on her hand. She yelps and tries to get it off, dropping her phone
"Sabrina? Sabrina?!" Shouted Chloe.
The Scene shifts to City Hall. Marinette arrives and sees the campaign launch party is starting.
"I'm pleased to welcome you all to the official launch of Chloé's electoral campaign. And a special thank-you to world-famous pop-star Jagged Stone for endorsing her" Said Mr. Bourgeois.
The other students are amazed
"And, when you vote for me, you'll get free tickets to Jagged's next concert!" Declared Chloé.
Alya gets an autographed CD, and Marinette sees her
"Huh! You got an autograph?" Asked Marinette. "Uh... Yeah, got you one too. Sorry, couldn't help myself" Said Alya. "Did you get me one as well?" Asked Hope, walking over to Alya and Marinette. "No" Said Alya. "... Nope, I'm not falling for it. But, I'll consider forgiving you if you vote for me" Said Marinette, making Alya chuckle and nod. "... Wait, Hope. What are you doing here?" Asked Alya. "Watching Chloe's campaign. It seems to just be a case of spend daddy's money" Said Hope. "It's not like it would be anything else" Said Marinette.
Meanwhile, at Lock Bridge, Cat Noir and Darkblade are still fighting. Darkblade performs the same feint-and-strike he did to Adrien before. Cat Noir's staff goes flying
"Seriously? How did I not see that coming?" Asked Cat Noir. "Take him!" Commanded Darkblade.
His knights go after Cat Noir, but he throws himself out of the bridge, hiding under it
"Nary a minute to be wasted! The grand castle City Hall awaits us!" Declared Darkblade. "City Hall, huh? You go first. I'll catch up with you" Wispered Cat Noir.
Back at City Hall, Jagged Stone is still signing autographs. Sabrina arrives to where Chloé is.
"What took you so long? You'd better have gotten her diary" Said Chloé. "I did! Sorta..." Said Sabrina, as she shows her the diary box on her hand.
Chloé gasps and turns Sabrina away from their classmates
"What is that?" Asked Chloé. "When I grabbed the diary, this crazy box clipped down around my hand!" Declared Sabrina. "And I'm supposed to believe you? Ughhh... Why do I bother?" Asked Chloé. "Do you realize that you're all being bribed? Concert tickets are awesome, but they aren't gonna solve classroom problems" Said Marinette. "I have to agree with my, ah, I don't know what the term is. Opposition? Let's go with that. Seeing a rockstar a night before school would actually be detrimental to academic... stuff" Said Hope. "So what's your campaign then, Marinette? Hope?" Asked Nathaniel. "Very good question, Nathaniel. Why don't we do a sort of debate about it?" Asked Hope, to Marinette. "What?" Asked Marinette. "Well, it's simple. Our fellow students tell us their school problems, and we tell them how we will solve them, with us alternating between who tells their solution first" Said Hope. "Oh. I see! Well, that seems like a good idea" Said Marinette. "Alright. Everyone, form a small group in the centre of the room, we will take a seat neat the rockstar" Said Hope.
Hope and Marinette take a seat at two tables next to each other, as everyone else gathers in a crowd in front of the tables
"Alright, we would just like to thank you for participating in this impromptu debate. Anyone have a problem with current school... Not good French, but the point got across right?" Asked Hope. "Not really. Who has a grievance with something at the school that they believe we can fix if we were Class Representative?" Asked Marinette. "Well, it seems you should vote for my opponent if you want someone who can speek. Hand up if you have a grievance" Said Hope.
A few students raise their hand as Chloé pulls on the dairybox on Sabrina's hand. Marinette picks out Nino in the crowd.
"Nino, hey? I'll let you go first this round, witch means I go first every even round" Said Hope. "Fine by me. Nino, what is your grievance?" Asked Marinette. "I would like it if the students could listen to music in the library" Said Nino. "Listening to music in the library? Well, if I were to be Class Representative, I would see about listening to music in the library. However, it would be through headphones, of course" Said Marinette. "Hah. Took the words right out of my mouth. Unfortunately, I can't just regurgitate them. It would hurt my chances. So I propose an alternative idea. A pop-up room built into the library available during time between classes where you'd be allowed to listen to your music. Also through headphones, don't want to disturb other people" Said Hope. "Hum. Those both sound like good ideas. But Marinette's idea sounds more practical" Said Nino. "So it's one to nil. Shall we go with first to 2? So we don't give away everything before the speeches?" Asked Hope. "Certainly" Said Marinette.
A few students raise their hand as Chloé punches the dairybox on Sabrina's hand, before shaking her hand. Hope picks out Rose in the crowd.
"Rose, what is your big issue?" Asked Hope. "Can we get more comfortable chairs?" Asked Rose. "Hum... Replacing every chair at school is an massive undertaking, because of just how many chairs their are at school, as well as the ones that are large benches on the second floor... Rose, neither I or Marinette can promise you new comfortable chairs... But, what i can instead offer you is soft mattress like inserts for the benches in our class for the back and seat. So they are softer. And, while it would be more expensive, they could be custom made" Said Hope. "Well, um, I'm thinking that cushions would be more realistic than buying new chairs. Your cushion could be very pink" Said Marinette. "I like Hope's idea more!" Declared Rose. "Huh. One to one, Marinette..." Said Hope. "Remarkable. You both actually sound like class reps. Too bad you don't have a chance of winning. A word, Marinette?" Asked Chloé, sarcastically. "I'm in the middle of something, Chloé" Said Marinette. "It's fine, Marinette. We can see who gets the third point tomorrow. We've already endeared ourselves. Let the festivities continue" Said Hope.
Marinette nodded, and she and Hope left the stage as Jagged Stone sits back down to sign autographs. Marinette walks towards Chloé, and Chloe shoves her behind the pillar Sabrina is hiding behind
"Oh! My diary! What were you doing-?" Asked Marinette. "If you don't pull out of the race, all your secrets will be revealed" Said Chloé. "Don't-uh, I mean, uh, what secrets?" Asked Marinette. "Ha! I guess we'll find out... as soon as I get my hands on a chainsaw!" Declared Chloé.
Trumpets start playing from outside, as Darkblade's Army arrives.
"Who in the devil is that?" Asked Hope, as he and the other students watch on from the windows. "O-ye, o-ye! Darkblade shalt speak now! Listen or be imprisoned!" Declared a Knight. "Hark to me anon, Bourgeois! Henceforth, my flag shalt fly over thy kingdom! Bourgeois, pathetic knave, come hither and do battle! Or mine own knights shalt wend in to thy castle and drageth thy bacon-fed rampallian out and standeth thee bef're me just so i can knocketh thee on t!" Declared Darkblade. "What did he say?" Asked Mr. Bourgeois. "Basically, he's gonna bust you up if you go out there" Said Alya. "And if you decide to stay in here, some knights will come in here to drag you out there to get busted up. Also, he kinda called you fat" Said Hope. "Ehh... Ask my secretary for an appointment!" Declared Mr. Bourgeois.
He and the students shut the doors
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Alloweth yond beest a lesion f'r thee! Bow down to Darkblade, or feel the wrath of mine sword!" Declared Darkblade. "Part le fer! Part le fer! Dahhh!" Declared the Knights.
Cat Noir jumps from ceiling to ceiling, and throws his staff at the knights
"Take him!" Declared Darkblade. "Guys, do you only know heavy metal?" Asked Cat Noir.
Cat Noir and the knights start fighting when Cat Noir gets dogpiled
"Ouch! Cat Noir... Hurry!" Declared Marinette.
Cat Noir breaks out from under the pile of knights with his staff
"That was a nice warm-up!" Declared Cat Noir. "Part le fer!" Declared Darkblade, as he starts fighting Cat Noir.
Scene cuts back to the inside of City Hall
"Wait, do I hear the sounds of crazed fans? I can totally get them under control" Said Jagged Stone.
He takes his guitar, goes outside and plays it while singing, only to see Darkblade and Cat Noir fighting, and Cat Noir being chased by the knights.
"Behold, a minstrel!" Declared Darkblade. "Guys, guys, I know you love me, but no reason to fight over it" Said Jagged Stone. "Are you the usurper's champion?" Asked Darkblade. "Say what?" Asked Jagged Stone
Darkblade zaps him and turns him into a knight
"Oh no!" Shouted Chloe. "What are we gonna do?" Asked Ivan. "The doors, quickly!" Shouted Hope. "The doors, quickly!" Mimicked Chloé. "Quit, Chloé!" Declared Marinette. "Quit, Chloé! Oh..." Mimicked Chloé. "Kneel before thy flag of Darkblade! Bow down before mine eyes!" Declared Darkblade.
The students lock the doors
"Chloé, what should we do? What would a class rep do?!" Asked Rose. "Well, if indeed you vote for me, I'll provide you with an answer. Tomorrow!" Declared Chloé. "This siege won't last till tomorrow! And I unfortunately believe this isn't a job that this class representative can solve by being a class representative" Said Hope, as he put on the Seiken Swordriver with the Ankokuken Kurayami in it around his waist. "Ha! See! He's unreliable, he shouldn't be running for class representative!" Declared Chloé. "At least he's doing something, Chloé" Said Alya.
Hope held up the Jakku Dragon and American McGee's Alice De Fushiginokuni Wonder Ride Books, and opened both of them causing Jakku Dragon to announce "Katsute sekai o tsutsumikonda kurayami o unda no wa tatta ittai no shinjuu datta..." as American McGee's Alice De Fushiginokuni announced "Mukashimukashi, wakai josei igaito taoreta atarashī sekai e shiro usagi o oikakeru". Hope then closed both books and put them in the right slot and left slot of the Seiken Swordriver respectively.
"Marinette, I can trust that the class will be in your safe hands, right?" Asked Hope. "What!? Ah, sure!" Declared Marinette, nervously.
Hope pulls the Ankokuken Kurayami out of the Seiken Swordriver, making it announce "Kurayami Battou! Shikkoku Dragon Alice! Kurayami Nisatsu! Hisuterikkuna kyōki zentai ni hirogaru yami no ryū sono kankaku o keihatsu suru!", as Hope transformed into Kamen Rider Caliber Shikkoku Dragon, witch is Caliber Jakku Dragon but the left side of the suit is a lavender purple colour and has a doll like head sticking off of the shoulder.
"Keep them safe, Marinette" Said Hope, as he walks through a dark portal. "Hmmm... Tikki, we need to talk" Said Marinette, as she goes upstairs.
Meanwhile, outside where Darkblade and Car Noir are dueling. Darkblade starts to pose for his signature feint-and-strike, but a dark portal appears behind Darkblade and Hope comes out thrusting the Ankokuken Kurayami at Darkblade, forcing him to parry it, but Hope pushed the Ankokuken Kurayami into Darkblade's sword, forcing Darkblade to block by putting his other hand on the back of the tip of the sword.
"Hello Darkblade. Allow me to introduce you to the sword of darkness. Ankokuken Kurayami" Said Hope. "Who is't doth thee bethink thou art?" Asked Darkblade. "I bethink I am the wielder of this Seiken. The Seiken of Darkness. Kamen Rider Caliber" Said Hope.
Darkblade pushes outward with his sword, knocking Hope back. Darkblade charges towards Hope and attempts to slash him in a downwards motion but Cat Noir blocks his sword. Hope then raises his hand to the air causing dark purple knives to rain down from the sky onto Darkblade, knocking him back.
"Cat Noir. Would I be wrong in thinking this guy is actually that politician who only got 6.66% of votes?" Asked Hope. "You would be" Said Cat Noir. "Oh. Well, I guess today we are beating up politicians" Said Hope. "Yeah. Power to the people, right?" Asked Cat Noir. "Power to the hero" Said Hope.
The Scene moves up to the City Hall Office. Marinette is talking with Tikki.
"What are you going to do?" Asked Tikki. "Cat Noir needs Ladybug, but the students need me, too" Said Marinette. "Trust your instincts" Said Tikki.
Meanwhile, outside, the knights are trying to open the door. The students are scared, but Marinette arrives
"Kim, Ivan, lock the doors! Make sure all the windows are closed too" Said Marinette
They go and lock the doors
"Nino, Juleka, Rose, Mylène and Alya, you come with me!" Declared Marinette. "Good job, girl! Now there's a future class representative in the making" Said Alya. "Well, I was going to say the exact same thing. Sabrina, Ivan, Kim, go lock the doors!" Declared Chloé, futility.
Outside, the knights are still trying to open the door. Hope and Cat Noir move to take those knights down, but Darkblade quickly thrusts at them, making them both block him in a X style with their weapons, locking the three weapons together.
"We can't stop those knights if they break down that door!" Declared Cat Noir. "Don't worry. I've got someone in there. Admittedly, all she has to do is prevent that door breaking part" Said Hope. "We have to barricade the entrance!" Declared Marinette.
The students use things from the room to make a barricade
"I hope they haven't gone too medieval on Cat Noir and Hope" Said Nino. "It's time to retreat! Sir, we gotta get out of here!" Declared Marinette. "This way!" Declared Mr. Bourgeois, as he leads the students to safety. "I'll catch up with you guys! I'll make sure all the windows are closed first! This should be safe now Tikki, spots on! Ha!" Declared Marinette, as she opens her purse and Tikki appears.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug
Outside the City Hall, Cat Noir and Hope are being surrounded by knights, but Ladybug appears in time.
"Back off, you tin cans!" Declared Cat Noir. "Cat Noir, Hope, over here!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug uses her yo-yo to drag them inside, and Cat Noir hits the wall, landing upside down with his legs folded as Hope lands standing next to Ladybug.
"Sorry, you two. I was busy doing damage control inside" Said Ladybug. "Oh, did Marinette Dupain-Chang help you?" Asked Hope. "Uh, yeah! She was extraordinary. She pretty much just left me with the job of evacuating everyone" Said Ladybug. "Well, I was managing just fine by myself, you know. But it's always nice to see you" Said Cat Noir. "We had more in common with mashed potatoes then great warriors out their. Although, it probably has more to do with his army then him" Said Hope. "Come, formation!" Declared Darkblade.
The knights come into formation, but Ladybug, Hope and Cat Noir stop them
"Strike!" Declared Cat Noir, as he lifts Ladybug inside. "Cursèd, colorful acrobats!" Declared Darkblade.
Darkblade knights two cars into catapults. The knights use the catapults to launch themselves into the City Hall. The knights pull the catapult, and launch it
"Why are they going on the roof?" Asked Cat Noir.
A knight ungracefully slams none-to-gently into the wall beside their window with an "oof!"
"Well, at least some of them" Said Cat Noir. "The flag!" Declared Ladybug. "He's trying to pull a Rogercop!" Declared Hope. "Tally ho!" Declared Darklight.
The knights launch him to the roof with the catapult
"Ha ha ha! Once these stripes are supplanted by mine coat of arms, I shalt reign supreme!" Declared Darkblade. "The akuma must be in his sword!" Declared Ladybug. "How are we gonna get a hold of it?" Asked Adrien. "Well, we need to beat him in sword to sword combat" Said Hope. "So let's go get him!" Declared Ladybug. "I just need to make a small change first. Protect me" Said Hope, as he put the Ankokuken Kurayami back in the Seiken Swordriver.
Hope held up the Kagami Kōmori Wonder Ride Book and opened it, making it announce "Katsute, kōmori wa kyūkyoku no buki dōbutsu o tsukuru tame ni mahō no gishiki de shiyō sa remashita". Hope then closed the book and placed it in the centre slot of the Seiken Swordriver, before pulling the Ankokuken Kurayami out of the Seiken Swordriver making it announce "Kurayami Battou! Uketsugareru mottomo kurai kemono no namae wa! Abyssal Dragon! Kurayami Sansatsu! Mottomo kuroi ken ga hikari o kirisaki, sore o bōkyaku ni oiyaru!", as Hope transformed into Caliber Abyssal Dragon, with the centre of the armor being dark magenta with silver trimmings and a bat head for a chest peice and a black leathery cape. Ladybug jumps out a window and ties Darkblade's arm with her yo-yo, and goes to where he is. Darkblade blocks Ladybug with his sword, and Hope grabs Cat Noir's arm and jumps out the window, revealing the fact he can now fly with his cape becoming wings, and they land on the roof with Ladybug and Darkblade.
"Cat Noir, don't let him get his banner!" Shouted Ladybug. "
Cat Noir tries to knock down the human ladder of knights to stop the banner from going up, but is too late
"Villains! Thou impress me not. By the blade of darkness, I hereby declare all peoples of this kingdom are henceforth mine! Bow to King Darkblade!" Declared Darkblade, as he puts his flag on top, causing the sky to become black.
A black void of energy appears and begins closing in on City Hall, causing civilians to become knights.
"Hahahaha! I am the greatest conqu'r'r of all timeth!" Laughed Darkblade. "Huh?" Asked Marinette. "He said he's very good at conquering" Said Hope. "Soon thou shalt join my army you venomous insect, you stray gib and you almighty dragon bateth doll hybrid!" Declared Darkblade. "Not so fast! En garde!" Declared Cat Noir, as he knocks down the knights who are holding him. "It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir meet their doom!" Declared Hawk Moth. "We're about to wind up as knights too!" Declared Cat Noir, as he sees the civilians becoming knights
The black energy reaches the students, who become knights
"Par le fer!" Declared the Knights on the roof. "Go away" Said Hope, as he summons a cloud of bats witch harass the Knights. "Thank you Hope. Now I can use my Lucky Charm! Uh, okay..." Said Ladybug, as a toy ladybug appears. "A wind-up toy? Interesting cosmic puzzle peice" Said Hope.
Ladybug uses her thinking vision which highlights part of the City Hall's roof, some edging, and Darkblade's underarm
"Let's hope Darkblade's ticklish" Said Ladybug. "I would be quite surprised if he is" Said Hope.
During Cat Noir and Darkblade duel, Darkblade pulls the same feint he did before
"Not this time" Said Cat Noir.
Darkblade goes for the follow up strike, but Cat Noir doesn't let go of his staff. While they are fighting, Ladybug winds up the toy, goes to where Darkblade is and throws the toy ladybug at him. He starts feeling ticklish and laughing. He throws his sword, and it flies towards Ladybug point first, but Hope with the Ankokuken Kurayami in the Hissatsuholder quickly pulls the Ankokuken Kurayami out of the Hissatsuholder, making it announce "Dokugo Issen!", as Hope slashes through Darkblade's Sword, breaking it in two parts witch plant themselves in a wall next to Hope and a tower behind him, depleting the black sky and the dark energy. The akuma flies out of the part of the sword next to Hope.
"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Declared Ladybug, as she opens her yo-yo and catches the akuma with her yo-yo, before releasing the purified akuma.
Ladybug throws the Lucky Charm into the air, its energy reverting everything back to normal. Darkblade turns back into Mr. D'Argencourt.
"Hmm? Huh?" Asked Mr. D'argencourt. "Pound it!" Declared Ladybug, Cat Noir and Hope. "Uh, Gotta take off, see ya!" Declared Cat Noir, as he looks to his ring. "Our duel is not over yet, my dear Ladybug. At the end of our battle, I will rule!" Declared Hawk Moth, as his window closed.
Inside City Hall, Ladybug enters through a window, and turns back into Marinette.
"Great job, Marinette. You proved that you can be Ladybug and a student leader at the same time" Said Tikki. "Wasn't easy, but I'm glad I tried. Cause if I hadn't, I never would've known I could do it" Said Marinette.
The students are removing the posters and chairs from the door, and Chloé sees Marinette
"So where were you? Safely hiding under a rock?" Asked Chloé. "Very funny, Chloé. I got transformed... into a knight" Said Marinette. "So did I! What a knight-mare!" Declared Adrien, sprinting downstairs and out of breath. "It was a knight-mare up, oh god damm it" Said Hope, sliding down the staircase's handrail and standing next to Chloé. "Now that this is all over, I want my personal items back!" Declared Marinette.
The other students gasp and surround Chloé and Hope
"Ah, Marrinette. I haven't completed the crossword yet" Said Hope. "Wow, Hope! I can't believe that you'd take something from Marrinette! You know, I..." Said Chloé.
Sabrina shoves Chloé aside and holds out her hand with the diary box on it to Marinette
"Oh, yes! Please take it off!" Declared Sabrina.
Marinette uses the key to open the diary box, freeing Sabrina's hand
"Thank you!" Declared Sabrina. "Got an explanation, Chloé?" Asked Alya. "Well well wel. Chloé Boogard. If it isn't the consequence of your action" Said Hope, walking over to stand next to Marinette. "I told you, I never took her diary! And I'm offended that you're accusing me" Said Chloe. "Then how did you even know my diary was in here?" Asked Marinette.
The other students gasp
"Oh, well, uh... Sabrina told me. It was all her idea!" Declared Chloé. "So uncool!" Declared Nino. "At least now we know nobody will vote for Chloé. You or Hope are gonna be our new representative!" Declared Alya. "Uh... Not so fast, Alya" Said Marinette. "Ha ha ha! See? She's undependable! She's already throwing in the towel!" Declared Chloé. "I believe we should hear out Marinette. Besides, it might just save your chances" Said Hope. "Thank you Hope. I want to be voted in fairly, not because you don't wanna vote for Chloé, but because you believe in me! I'm not gonna make promises that I can't keep, and I'm not gonna be able to get you everything that you want. But I am resourceful and I know how to prioritize. I'm a good listener and a great multi-tasker. Representing you all is something I truly believe in. And most importantly, I believe in myself. So... Vote for Marinette, for class representative!" Declared Marinette.
The other students cheer and applaud her. Chloé sees Sabrina applauding
"What are you doing? Are you out of your mind? Ughh... What are you even good for?" Asked Chloé.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. The results are being tallied up as Marinette's class go through the day. Eventually, at the end of the day, Miss Bustier announces the results.
"Ok students! The results are in! The person with the least amount of votes is Chloé Bourgeois with 6.66%" Said Miss Bustier. "What!? That's ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" Declared Chloé. "And by a difference of 13.32%... Marinette is the new class representative, and Alya will be her deputy" Said Miss Bustier. "You'll be able to do your blog and be deputy. We can do anything if we put our minds to it" Said Marinette. "I'm with you, girl" Said Alya. "Congratulations, Marinette" Said Hope, as he and Marinette shook hands. "Thank you Hope" Said Marinette. "You know, I thought you two would tie" Said Alya. "I actually thought that he would win. I voted for him" Said Marinette. "I voted for you as well. But, I guess a certain blonde boy and an individual decided that you were worth voting for" Said Hope.
Marinette looked down at Adrien, as he looked up at her and smiled. Marinette blushed a little.
