In The Dupain-Cheng family living room, Marinette is using a French-to-Chinese translation app.
"You'll see Tikki. I'll say it just fine. Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette" Said Marinette, as she presses the microphone button on the app. "Huānyíng lái dào wǒ de jiā, wǒ de míngzì jiào mǎlǐ nèi tè" Said the Translator App. "Huānyíng láo dài wǒ de jiā, wǒ de mízì jiào mǎlǐ nèi tè. No, that's not right. Huānyíng lái dào wǒ de jiā, wǒ de míngzì jiào mǎlǐ nèi tè" Said Marinette. "Good job Marinette!" Declared Tikki. "I'm so nervous! Do you think he'll like them?" Asked Marinette.
Marinette grabs the flowers off the coffee table.
"Well of course! They're fine!" Declared Tikki. "They can't be fine, they have to be perfect! My Mom's uncle is a super famous Chinese chef. He's very particular, so things have to be just right. That's him! Hide, Tikki" Said Marinette, as the doorbell rings.
Tikki hides. While going to the door, Marinette trips over the backing of her couch before opening it.
"Nǐ hǎo" Said Wang Cheng. "Uh, welcome Mari you're at Nette's. Uh ah, welcome to Marinette's! You're Chinese! No no no no! In Mandarin! Huyíng láo dào mǎlǐ tè! Ugh, no wait.
Marinette reaches for phone and hands Wang Cheng the flowers, who smells them. Marinette, meanwhile, whisper shouts to the translator app on her phone
"Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette. Ugh, this is so lame..." Said Marinette. "Huānyíng lái dào wǒjiā. Wǒ de míngzì jiào mǎlǐ nèi tè. Āi, zhège zhēn chàjìng. Āi, zhège zhēn chàjìng. Āi, zhège..." Said the Translator App, before it malfunctions and keeps repeating "Āi, zhège zhēn chàjìng" until she closes the app and let her great uncle inside and calls Alya. "Alya, you've gotta help me. I don't know what to do with my mom's uncle. You know, the one I told you about? Well, I don't think I can pull this off..." Said Marinette.
Cut to Alya, sitting on a park bench
"Chill out Marinette, I got the solution. Just hang tight" Said Alya, as she hangs up. "Thank you! You're amazing. What solution? Huh? Aw..." Said Marinette.
Some time later, on The Dupain-Cheng family sofa. Marinette sits uncomfortably with Wang Cheng, awaiting Alya's help, when the doorbell rings, and Marinette runs to answer it.
"Hey Marinette" Said Adrien, as Marinette opens the door. "Adrien!? What in the—uh—what are you—" Said Marinette. "Alya called me. She said you needed someone who speaks Chinese? Well, here I am! Translator at your service" Said Adrien, before he bows to her. "No! I mean, yes! Uh, where's Alya?" Asked Marinette.
She receives a text from Alya confirming the situation.
"Uh, hehe!" Laughed Marinette.
A few minutes later, In the car on the way to the contest.
"Zhèng shīfù, zhè shì nǐ dì yī cì lái bālí ma?" Asked Adrien.
Translates: Master Cheng, Is this the first time you've visited Paris? "Bù, wǒ sānshí nián céngjīng láiguò zhèlǐ. Nǐ shuō yīkǒu liúlì de zhōngguó huà" Said Wang Cheng.
Translates: No, I have been here 30 years ago. You can speak Chinese fluently. "Xièxiè, zhèng shīfù" Said Adrien, as he bows.
Translates: Thank you, Master Cheng "Oh, my English very bad. Not like your Chinese" Said Wang Cheng. "I thought you couldn't speak English" Said Adrien. "Uh, me too" Said Marinette. "Oh, no, not good. My English not good" Said Wang, making Marinette giggle.
Outside the Le Grand Paris. "The World's Greatest Chef"'s logo flashes.
"Since our World's Greatest Chef contest kicked off, the best culinary masters from around the globe have been blowing our minds with their gastronomic creations" Said Alec. "Cheng Shifu, I am delighted and honored to have you on our final show, where you will have the chance to defeat all of the chefs who have competed thus far" Said André.
Wang Cheng smiles, and he, Marinette, and Adrien walk into Le Grand Paris.
"Only one will be awarded the title of World's Greatest Chef. The winner's dish will become the new Mayor's Special on the Grand Paris's menu!" Declared Alec.
Camera switches to inside the hotel
"Tell us Cheng Shifu, what dish will you be honoring our panel with today?" Asked Alec. "Nǐ jiāng jiāo gěi shàng de cài? (The dish you will be offering?)" Translated Adrien. "My dish is Celestial soup" Said Wang Cheng. "Wow! I've heard so much about your legendary Celestial Soup, but today we'll actually get to taste it!" Declared Alec.
The Television broadcast ends
"Would you like me to come with you, Cheng Shifu?" Asked Adrien. "No thank you Adrien. Cooking needs no words" Said Wang Cheng, as Alec led him to the kitchen. "Thanks, Adrien. I'm totally sorry for bothering you for nothing. I really thought he couldn't speak English" Said Marinette. "No problem Marinette. It was awesome to be able to practice my Chinese, especially with a Shifu" Said Adrien. "A Shifu?" Asked Marinette. "That means Master in Chinese. Your Mom's Uncle is a great master!" Declared Adrien.
Marinette smiles before being startled by Chloé's voice
"Oh look who it is! My favorite person, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I mean, seriously? Does your great-uncle really expect to win the contest with a Soup!? It's not even a main dish! Please! Doesn't he know how to make sushi like everyone else?" Asked Chloé.
Marinette and Adrien are mad at Chloé
"Damare, Baka!" Shouted a voice.
Marinette, Adrien and Chloé turn around to see Hope and Emily, with Hope making a beeline towards Chloe as Emily followed behind.
"Chloe!... Heh hem... Chloé. My favourite person. Please tell me, did you ask if that chef could make sushi because he was a chef?" Asked Hope. "Well obviously, Hope! Why else would I ask if he could make sushi?" Asked Chloé. "Oh... Well, I figured it couldn't be anything to... sinister" Said Hope. "Besides, if he is a chef good enough for here, he should be able to make sushi" Said Chloé. "Or other delicacies of the world, right?" Asked Hope, barely containing himself. "He's not like "everyone else". My Great Uncle is the best chef in the world. His soup is legendary!" Declared Marinette. "Well, I despise soup" Said Chloé. "So what?" Asked Marinette. "Didn't you know? I'm on the jury. Your uncle will not be getting my vote, for sure" Said Chloé. "Ah yes, petty revenge" Said Emily. "Oh yeah? Well, he doesn't need your vote to win! There are other judges with much better taste than yours" Said Marinette. "Ugh!" Groaned Chloé. "Huh, silly me, you don't have any taste! I mean, look at what you're wearing" Said Marinette. "Ew! Don't talk about me like that. You've made a big mistake" Said Chloé, before she walks to the stairs angrily.
Marinette's friends are proud of Marinette because she stood up for her uncle
"Wow, you really stood up for Cheng Shifu. He would've appreciated that" Said Adrien. "Yeah, you were so cool. You took it to Chloe more then I wanted to" Said Hope. "I'm not sure. I don't think he likes me" Said Marinette. "Oh no, you're wrong" Said Adrien. "No, I swear! He even ripped up the bouquet I gave him" Said Marinette. "I don't think Wang Cheng meant any disrespect, Marinette" Said Emily. "She's right. Cheng Shifu isn't just a chef, Marinette. He's an artist! He told me he was gonna put flowers in his Celestial Soup. He said he improvises on faithful things that come his way. The flowers he mentioned must be the ones you gave him" Said Adrien. "So... you think he actually likes me?" Asked Marinette, as Adrien put his hands on Marinette's shoulders. "Totally! He's shown you great respect in his own special way" Said Adrien, making Marinette sighs happily. "Hey, wait... What are you two doing here?" Asked Marinette. "Well... it turns out that when you confront the mayor over his treatment of others compared to his daughter, reveal you are a member of two CTUs and are also a superhero, it turns out you get invited to a lot of popular person events, and even get an offer to model for the man with the brand, Gabriel. And I'm doing both right now. Like the dress?" Asked Emily, wearing a dress that will look a little familiar in about a season finale or two. "Father hired you to model his clothes?" Asked Adrien. "Yes. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be working together. Apparently, I'd be too distracting for your upbringing" Said Emily.
Meanwhile, in the Le Grand Paris kitchen. Wang Cheng cooks his soup as Chloé peers in from the hallway
"Mr. Cheng, Marinette's looking for you outside" Said Chloé.
Wang Cheng exits the kitchen
"Let's see of the other judges enjoy your uncle's soup after this, Marinette Dupain-Cheng" Said Chloé.
Chloé looks through a fridge and using thinking vision, a half used bottle of milk, a open can of chick peas and a deli bag of sheep eyes light up.
"Hmm? Hmph" Muttered Chloé.
Chloé takes the items that lit up out of the fridge and pours them out into the soup, then stirs her concoction up and puts the lid back on.
"Marinette wasn't there..." Said Wang Cheng. "Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I was wrong" Said Chloé, as she left.
Some time later, at the Le Grand Paris dining hall. "The World's Greatest Chef" is being filmed.
"As usual, our panel of gourmets is made up of André Bourgeois, the mayor of Paris and owner of this luxury hotel, his daughter Chloé, representing the younger generation, hot rockstar Jagged Stone and his killer crocodile Fang, and finally, the divine head chef of this very hotel, Marlena Césaire, and yours truly, Alec!" Declared Alec.
"The World's Greatest Chef" logo flashes onscreen
"It's time to determine the fate of Cheng Shifu's famous Celestial Soup. Let's get tasting!" Declared Alec.
The entire jury besides Chloé who just twirls her spoon inside the soup try some of the Celestial Soup. Alec spits out the soup
"What IS this!?" Asked Alec, making Wang Cheng, Adrien, Marinette, Hope and Emily gasp. "Uh, I don't think this soup would fare well with our guests! I'll give it a 3/10" Said Mayor Bourgeois. "Seeing as it's pretty unappetizing, maybe I'll pass on the tasting, but I'll still give it a zero!" Declared Chloé. "Ech! It's like kissing a member from the Zombeats! Negative zero" Said Jaggered Stone. "I'm sorry, but it's inedible. I give it 1/10" Said Marlena. "Uh... I... Uch! I don't understand, I never put these ingredients in. It's a mistake. Someone sabotaged soup!" Declared Wang Cheng, as he tried Chloé's soup.
Marlena and Jagged Stone look at each other worriedly while Chloé smiles smugly.
"I'm sorry, Cheng Shifu, but I'm giving you a zero, too, which brings your score to 0.8/10, the lowest so far. Celestial Soup will therefore not be in the hotel's menu this year, and you will not be named World's Greatest Chef!" Declared Alec.
The "World's Greatest Chef" logo flashes, and Marinette notices a flower petal fall from Chloé when she gets up
"This isn't right, and I'm certain Chloé's got something to do with it" Said Marinette. "Sounds likely" Said Hope. "I'd like to say you're wrong, but I know her only too well" Said Adrien. "Uncle Cheng? I'm sure it's not your fault. In fact, I know it's not. I'm pretty sure Chloé's behind this. It was actually because of me. I provoked her, and..." Said Marinette. "Shame is on Celestial Soup. I shall never be World's Greatest Chef!" Declared Wang Cheng, before he walked away. "No! Uncle Cheng" Said Marinette. "It's horrible to lose face in China. We'll wait for him downstairs" Said Adrien. "Yeah, come on Marinette. He'll need someone to talk to, should be you" Said Hope. "You could tell him that in your eyes, he's already the World's Greatest Chef" Said Emily. "That won't work, Marinette's parents are already chefs" Said Hope. "No, they are bakers" Said Emily. "Don't say that to my parents, they think of themselves as chefs" Said Marinette.
Adrien walks to Marinette to comfort her and he puts his hand on her shoulder as Hope and Emily wrap their arms around her back before they walked downstairs together while they are feeling down. Cut to Wang Cheng standing sadly over his soup pot.
Meanwhile, Hawk Moth's lair as its window opens
"A great artist was wronged today. I can feel it. I can hear his heart screaming for revenge. Fly away my little akuma, and evilize him! Victory never tasted so good! Mwahahahaha!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he readies an akuma
Back in the Kitchen, Wang Cheng notices a bottle of milk and a can of chick peas
"Marinette was right. It was evil act by that brat! No respect for Cheng Shifu!" Declared Wang Cheng, as the akuma arrives and enters his hat. "Kung Food, I am Hawk Moth. Those who tasted your soup will become your servants. Everyone who wronged you will pay dearly" Said Hawk Moth. "I will show I am greatest chef in the world!" Declared Wang Cheng, as he turns into Kung Food.
Meanwhile Le Grand Paris dining hall. Alec is the middle of filming a segment when the jury besides Chloé gets a stomach ache.
"Ooohhh, uhh..." Moaned Alec. "Ohh, my guts are killing me. Nrgg!" Groaned Jaggered Stone, as he banged his fist onto the table. "I'm feeling quite uncomfortable..." Said Mayor Bourgeois, as he held his stomach. "Bwahaha! You have eaten my soup, you become my servants! Nyehehahaha!" Declared Kung Food, entering the Dining Hall.
Everyone who ate the Celestial Soup's eyes turn orange, and they stand up.
"At your command, master" Said Alec. "Grab the girl" Said Kung Food, pointing at Chloé.
The possessed people creep towards Chloé, who is on her phone
"Yeah, well, I was wondering if you would like to come..." Said Chloe.
Chloé notices the people crowding around her
"Uh wh—w-wait! Calm down now. I'm Mayor Bourgeois' daughter, remember? Ugh! Daddy!?" Asked Chloe, as Mayor Bourgeois grabs Chloé. "Kung Food will make new soup called Brat Soup!" Declared Kung Food. "But I don't like soup!" Declared Chloé. "Eheheheh..." Laughed Kung Food. "Haha! Perfect! It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show up to meet their doom! Mwahahaha!" Laughed Hawk Moth.
Meanwhile, in the Le Grand Paris lobby with Hope, Marinette, Emily and Adrien, a Cameraman comes running downstairs.
"Get out! Hurry! Get out while you still can!" Declared the Cameraman. "Why, what's going on?" Asked Hope, catching the Cameraman as he ran into him. "Akuma victim! We need to go!" Declared the Cameraman, before he ran by and exited the Le Grand Paris Hotel.
Kung Food's face appeared on a projector
"Not polite to leave table without permission. Cut off all exits!" Declared Kung Food.
Kung Food's henchmen pour vats of caramel down the sides of the hotel. Adrien tries to push the door open, but fails. He bends down and sticks his finger in the liquid
"What's that?" Asked Marinette. "Adrien, you shouldn't do that. That goes against rule one of casual monster investigation" Said Hope. "We aren't investigating monsters, Hope" Said Emily. "... Thanks for the input, Em" Said Hope. "Stop it, you two. Adrian, what is it?" Asked Marinette.
Adrien dips his finger into it and tastes it
"Caramel? Mmm. It might taste good but it's totally indestructible. Looks like we're trapped inside" Said Adrien. "I mean, we should at least try and see if we can break through it" Said Hope.
Hope moves to stand parallel to the door, and moves his right leg back while placing his left hand on the metal frame of the door, before shaking his head and placing the fingertips of his right hand on the door.
"I'd recommend you all stand a good distance behind me. And if I say any rude words, don't repeat them to your parents" Said Hope.
Marinette, Adrien and Emily take a few steps back, as Hope pulls back his right arm. Hope then quickly punches the metal frame of the door, and while the door does not move, the caramel outside cracks.
"Well... I wasn't really expecting anything to happen..." Said Hope, as Kung Food appeared on a projecter. "You want to taste Kung Food's soup. Everybody become my servants, and Kung Food become World's Greatest Chef! Hahahaha!" Laughed Kung Food. "Uncle?" Asked Marinette.
Adrien and Marinette run off to transform. Switch to Le Grand Paris rooftop pool, where Henchmen add ingredients and stir the giant soup while Chloé hangs over it. Meanwhile, in a Le Grand Paris hallway.
"I never should have riled up Chloé! I've gotta save my Uncle!" Declared Marinette. "You'll do it Marinette! I'm sure you will!" Declared Tikki. "Mhm mhm! Tikki, spots on! Yeah!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug
Switch to Adrien in a staircase within Le Grand Paris
"Time to transform!" Declared Adrien. "You didn't happen to pick up a little piece of Camembert during all this cooking chaos, did you?" Asked Plagg. "Cheese after the main meal, Plagg. Plagg, claws out!" Declared Adrien.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir
Meanwhile, in the Le Grand Paris lobby.
"I wonder where Adrian and Marinette went. Anyway, we should transform" Said Hope, as he put on the Stand Player. "You got that right. Let's make sure that Chef Goku doesn't make his soup" Said Emily, as she put on the Reborn Driver.
Emily holds up a copy of Monster Reborn. Emily then placed Monster Reborn in the graveyard slot, making the Reborn Driver announce "Nekuro Henshin! Ribōnraito!" as Emily gained teal and white armour over a light blue undersuit, with white gauntlets and gloves. A white cross appeared in front of Emily and went through her, making a cross on the front of her armour and becoming two capes on her back. Finally, a red and teal helmet with a white visor appeared on her head.
Meanwhile, Hope holds up a Stand Tape labeled Tusk before placing it into the Stand Player, making it announce "Kono Bīto! Kuruu!", before Hope pressed a button making it announce "Kuruoshī! Yasei! Hijōshiki! Tusk ACT 1! How are the tenders, Johnny? Steel Ball Run! Chumimi~in!", as Hope transformed into Kamen Rider Stand Tusk ACT1 Form (It's Tusk ACT1 if it had legs)
Ladybug and Cat Noir run into the Le Grand Paris lobby at the same time from a connecting hallway and down the stairs respectively.
"Cat Noir?" Asked Ladybug. "Ladybug! I don't know about you, m'lady, but I'm a bit hungry" Said Cat Noir. "Let's go eat then. Shall we?" Asked Ladybug. "Mmph! Hahahahahahahahah! Is that what you're deciding to wear into battle, Hope?" Laughed Cat Noir, as he looked over at Hope and Emily. "Is it the bright pink you can't get over, the cute elephant-like helmet or the three tiny hearts around my waist?" Asked Hope. "All three! This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen!" Declared Cat Noir, while hysterically laughing. "He's in for a surprise" Said Hope.
Switch to Kung Food watching the quintet from the pool area
"Who are those four?" Asked Kung Food. "They are Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope Xiao Rose and Kamen Rider Reborn. They've come to stop you from completing your soup. You must add them to your recipe!" Declared Hawk Moth. "Surprise ingredients? Hah! Delicious! You! Go capture them!" Ordered Kung Food, to Jagged Stone. "Yes, Master Kung Food" Said Jagged Stone, before he left. "Brat Soup even more powerful with superhero flavor" Said Kung Food. "I will not eat your soup!" Declared Chloé. "Foolish girl. You are not eating soup, you are soup!" Declared Kung Food. "Someone help! Let me down!" Shouted Chloé. "Don't worry, you will be let down soon enough. Hahahaha!" Laughed Kung Food.
Meanwhile, in the Le Grand Paris lobby.
"Ugh! It's jammed!" Declared Cat Noir, trying the elevators. "Of course they are jammed. Why would..." Said Hope. "Please don't. I'm going to start laughing again" Said Cat Noir. "Well, at least I'm boosting team moral" Said Hope. "In a sense" Said Ladybug. "Ladybug! Cat Noir! You soon have privilege to be ingredients in Kung Food's soup. But first — you taste my special of the day!" Declared Kung Food. "Is it soup?" Asked Hope. "No! No soup just yet! The special is..." Said Kung Food.
The elevator door opens, and Jagged Stone walks out holding a mace made out of seafood.
"... Seafood appetizers" Said Jagged Stone. "Jagged Stone" Said Ladybug. "Ugh, that's disgusting!" Declared Hope. "I can't believe they made a mace out of fish" Said Emily. "Seafood? This scampi happening. Let's see if you can carry a tuna!" Joked Cat Noir. "Look out!" Declared Ladybug.
They jump backwards after Jagged Stone swings at them. Emily and Hope move in and try to disarm Jagged Stone, but he shrugs them off and join back up with Ladybug and Cat Noir
"He seems to be a bit stronger then he usually is" Said Hope. "I guess Kung Food gave them some protean" Said Ladybug. "That wasn't very rock and roll of you, Jagged Stone" Said Cat Noir. "Rock is one thing, soup is another. When I'm done with you, you'll be nothing but minced meat!" Declared Jagged Stone. "Hope! Let's get him into the closest" Said Ladybug. "Certainly" Said Hope.
Jagged Stone swings his mace at the heroes rapidly, as they evade his blows by flipping backwards. On Ladybug's signal, she and Cat Noir flip off to the side, while Hope stops as Emily flips one more time and stands behind Hope. Jagged Stone swings his mace downwards at Hope but in slow motion, the tips of Hope's fingers start to rotate at high speed and Hope pushes his hand through the seafood mace, effortlessly cutting it half and missing Hope. Hope trips up Jagged Stone, and Emily grabs his head before driving him through the closet door. Cat Noir quickly closes the closest door and Ladybug slides over on a chair, keeping the door closed.
"Good job" Said Hope, as he and Ladybug fist bump. "How did you do that?" Asked Cat Noir. "Do what?" Asked Hope. "Break his mace in half" Said Cat Noir. "Oh that?... " Said Hope. "There's no time to lose! Chloé might just be the main dish! And we better not wait for her goose to cook" Said Ladybug. "Just like bread, she raises a good point. We need to go" Said Emily. "Certainly. Let's go" Said Hope. "Wait for me!" Said Cat Noir. "Ugh, get me outta here! Come on, then!" Shouted Jagged Stone.
Meanwhile, on the Le Grand Paris pool deck. Chloé hangs over it.
"The soup is going to be Kung Food's masterpiece!" Declared Kung Food. "Do you have to tie me up above this foul-smelling liquid! My designer clothes are going to stink of grease!" Declared Chloé. "Soup not greasy at all! Kung Food soup very well-balanced. Hahahaha!" Declared Kung Food.
A projector then displays Jagged Stone, locked in the closet.
"Get me out of here! Come on!" Shouted Jagged Stone. "Bad sous chef" Said Kung Food.
He sees Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily enter the elevator, and then points to Mayor Bourgeois
"You! Do me justice!" Declared Kung Food. "Yes, Master. Phew" Said Mayor Bourgeois.
Meanwhile, in The Elevator with our heroes.
"Ladybug, come on. It's just you and me together. We could go places" Said Car Noir. "Uh, yeah. Like up" Said Ladybug. "Exactly! We've got nowhere to go but up!" Declared Cat Noir. "He flirts like they are teenagers" Said Hope. "Almost like it's embarrassing?" Asked Emily. "That too" Said Hope.
The elevator short circuits.
"Wahhh!" Exclaimed Ladybug and Cat Noir. "Gee, I wonder if all that energy short-circuited the elevator" Said Hope, as he checks the the buttons in the elevator. "Do you think that maybe Kung Food has the place rigged?" Asked Emily. "Well, rigging the electronics in a hotel is a bit outside the realm of people possession and seemingly summoning food themed weapons. Get ready to change into a more powerful form. And, you know, help open the doors" Said Hope. "Alright" Said Emily.
Emily placed the cards Rose, Warrior of Revenge and Dragonic Guard on the Reborn Driver, making it announce "Nekuro Shokan! Fukushū no Onnasenshi Rōzuriraito! Doragonikku Gādoraito!" as it summoned Rose, Warrior of Revenge and Dragonic Guard and they pull the elevator doors open before the group of heroes climbed out of the Elevator, and walked down the hallway.
"Well, that was certainly interesting" Said Cat Noir. "This isn't exactly the top floor. We need to keep going" Said Ladybug. "You know, this kinda feels like an RPG" Said Emily. "Because we are moving up a location while dealing with enemies?" Asked Ladybug. "I thought that an RPG was about shooting and hiding behind cover" Said Cat Noir. "No, that's a First Person Shooter. Although, yes there can be some RPGs in an FPS" Said Hope. "These acronyms are giving me a headache" Said Cat Noir. "Royal hotpot with its giant string of smoked sausages!" Declared Mayor Bourgeois, as he swings around a flail made out of potatoes, sausages, lettuce/cabbages and carrots. "Sorry, what? One more time" Said Hope. "Royal hotpot with its giant string of smoked sausages!" Declared Mayor Bourgeois. "In Spanish now!" Declared Hope, pointing at Mayor Bourgeois. "Ah, I think it's estofado real con su cadena gigante de salchichas ahumades!" Declared Mayor Bourgeois. "Good job!" Declared Hope.
The tip of the finger that Hope was pointing at Mayor Bourgeois started rotating and then fired off at him, cutting his flail in half before Hope kicked him into Suite 36 and locked the door, trapping him.
"Moto belle! Now, let's get going" Said Hope. "How did you do that?" Asked Cat Noir. "Oh, you know. I spun" Said Hope. "You didn't move an inch!" Shouted Cat Noir. "Well, the world moved for me" Said Hope. "We should get moving" Said Emily. "Before the cat gets his answer? It's almost like you want to torture him. Let's get moving" Said Hope.
Meanwhile, Kung Food watches them from a projector.
"Pea-brain! Useless! My recipe not perfect without those four!" Declared Kung Food.
He points to Marlena and Alec
"Capture them, and don't mess up or you'll end up in soup, too!" Declared Kung Food. "Yes, master" Said Marlena and Alec. "My hair is ruined! Do you know how long it took to style it this morning?" Asked Chloé. "It won't be a problem soon" Said Kung Food. "Ladybug, help me!" Shouted Chloé. "Ehehehehe!" Laughed Kung Food.
Meanwhile, Ladybug, Hope, Cat Noir and Emily enter the Le Grand Paris dining hall.
"We're almost there" Said Ladybug. "Just a table for four is left" Said Emily. "Great. All this fighting has made me hungry!" Declared Cat Noir. "Still don't recommend eating until after this caper" Said Hope.
Kung Food appears on a projector
"Kung Food is generous. No need to choose between cheese and dessert, you get to have both!" Declared Kung Food. "Do people actually eat cheese after meals?" Asked Hope. "I have no idea" Said Emily. "I guess it's French" Said Hope.
The elevator bell rings and Alec and Marlena walk out, Alec wielding a crossbow made of cheese and Marlena wielding a bow and arrows made out of candy and chocolate.
"Watch the spectacular demonstration of the famous thousand flying cakes!" Declared Alec.
Marlena charges the heroes, but Emily and Cat Noir block her charge and they move back to the dining room tables.
"Oh ho! Our guests seem to have a few tricks up their sleeve, but how will they fare against the blinding stinging cheese bombs!" Declared Alec.
He shoots his cheese crossbow at Hope and Ladybug, with Hope standing in front of Ladybug to block the shot, causing the cheese to explode into a gross smelling gas
"Hope, are you ok?" Asked Ladybug. "I'm fine. The forms I create are made so that they can be air tight with a single thought. Try to stay behind me" Said Hope.
Hope starts spinning his fingertips, and the gross smelling cheese gas started being sucked towards his fingers. Meanwhile, Emily and Cat Noir dodged arrows shot at them by Marlena. Rose, Warrior of Revenge and Dragonic Guard attempted to attack Marlena from behind but she dodged and hit both of them with an arrow each. Cat Noir then grabbed Marlena from behind and gave her a German Suplex witch Emily followed up with a Shining Wizard, knocking Marlena back over to Alec as Emily and Cat Noir joined Hope and Ladybug. Hope then fired all 10 fingertips at Alec and Marlena, covering them in the gross smelling cheese gas, making them fall to their knees with watering eyes at the smell.
"I think it's about time we got to the second course" Said Ladybug. "I understand. Let's go" Said Hope, before the heroes take the elevator to Kung Food.
Meanwhile, at the Le Grand Paris rooftop pool. Chloé hangs over worriedly.
"Ah, temperature's just right. Time to add main ingredient!" Declared Kung Food, before Chloé began to be reeled into the soup. "Oh, no no no no noooo! Ah!" Cried Chloé.
Cat Noir's staff cuts the rope, and Ladybug catches Chloé as Hope and Emily point the Stand Enforcer and Duel Blade at Kung Food, respectively
"Ladybug, what took you so long!? Just wait until I tell everyone..." Said Chloe. "Oops" Said Ladybug, as she dropped Chloe. "Oh no! My Brat Soup will be so flavorless" Said Kung Food. "... Is he talking about eating a person?" Asked Hope. "It seems to be more of a stew" Said Emily. "I know you're more honorable than this, Cheng Shifu!" Declared Marinette. "I am not Cheng Shifu, I am Kung Food — the Greatest Chef in the World! And nobody will stop me from finishing my Brat Soup!" Declared Kung Food, as he pulls a pair of Sushi Tonfa out of his bag. "Get back Chloé!" Declared Ladybug.
Chloé runs off and the heroes charge Kung Food.
"I take care of you four myself!" Declared Kung Food.
Kung Food swings his Tonfas around blocking attacks from Ladybug and Cat Noir, until Hope and Emily cut through his Tonfas. Kung Food quickly pulls a bo staff made out of a elongated burrito out of his bag and swings it rapidly at Hope and Emily, who block the attacks with their blades. Cat Noir quickly dashes in the block the next attack before Ladybug uses her Yo-Yo to pull the Bo-rrito out of Kung Food's hands.
"Cat Noir! Hope! Emily! The akuma must be in his chef's hat! Try to grab it!" Declared Ladybug. "Can do!" Declared Cat Noir.
Cat Noir reaches out to take Kung Food's Hat, but Kung Food quickly blows red pepper dust into Cat Noir's eyes, disorienting him. Kung Food then goes for a follow up blow, but Hope and Emily pull him away.
"Ow! It burns!" Said Cat Noir, as he rubbed his eyes. "Don't worry, Cat" Said Emily, as she put the Magical Spring card in the graveyard making a small spring of water appear, before pooling some in her hands and pouring it into Cat Noir's eyes. "Haha! Like it spicy?" Asked Kung Food. "I guess this guy is playing for keeps now" Said Hope. "Don't worry. After everything else on the menu, all that's left is just desserts" Said Ladybug. "Good one, my lady" Said Cat Noir. "Thank you. And today's dessert is a Lucky Charm!" Declared Ladybug.
A check dispenser appears.
"A... check?" Asked Ladybug, as Emily, Hope and Cat Noir stood up. "And I think it's gonna be a steep one" Said Cat Noir.
Kung Food pulls out a gigantic sword made from a slice of pepperoni pizza from his bag
"You think you can beat me with a piece of paper!?" Declared Kung Food. "Pen is mightier then the sword, Fat Goku" Said Emily. "I know right? It's like if Goku ate Buu. I'm also quite confused as to why he looks like a beloved character from Japan when he's Chinese" Said Hope. "You think they don't have..." Said Cat Noir. "I don't think we can mention them by name" Said Ladybug. "Grr!" Growled Kung Food.
He swings the pizza sword at them, witch Emily, Cat Noir and Hope block. Ladybug dips some of the check paper into the soup, to use as a weapon. Emily, Cat Noir and Hope push the sword upwards and cut through it breaking it before Ladybug captures Kung Food's arms with the check paper.
"Cat Noir, all his weapons come from his bag. Destroy it" Said Ladybug. "Got it. Cataclysm!" Declared Cat Noir.
Cat Noir destroys the bag, and Kung Food falls over. Ladybug picks up his hat, and, ripping it, lets out the akuma. Ladybug then opens her yo-yo.
"Your days are over little akuma! Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Declared Ladybug, before she purifies the Akuma and restores everything. "This evil dinner was almost perfect. Revenge is a dish that is best served cold, so watch yourself — I'll be ready to strike again!" Declared Hawk Moth, from his lair.
Some time later, Le Grand Paris kitchen. Wang Cheng cooks up the new batch of Celestial Soup as Adrien, Hope and Emily watch on. Marinette brings him flowers.
"Could you teach me how to make Celestial Soup, Cheng Shifu?" Asked Marinette. "With pleasure, Marinette" Said Wang Cheng, as he takes the bouquet. "Cooking needs no words" Said Adrien. "Unless, of course, it's words like thanks, yum, pass me the salt and I've got a new recipe" Said Hope.
Chloé walks into the kitchen from behind Adrien and he is surprised
"Seriously? Still making soup? I told you I hate soup! You think the jury is going to approve of this?" Asked Chloe. "Didn't your father kick you off the jury?" Asked Adrien, irritated at Chloé. "No he didn't! I... er..." Said Chloé. "You know... I heard that, not only were you kicked off the jury, but you were replaced. By me" Said Emily. "I think Cheng Shifu and Marinette have got this covered. Why don't we let the real jury decide?" Asked Adrien. "Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" Declared Chloé. "
When Chloé leaves the kitchen, Adrien scratches his head while he sighs
"Ahahaha..." Said Adrien. "Emily... That almost sounded like confidence" Said Hope. "Fame may be going to my head... Ahahaha..." Said Emily, as she scratches her head while she sighs
Switch to The World's Greatest Chef on air
"Cheng Shifu's delicious Celestial Soup has received the highest marks overall, making you the final winner!" Declared Alec, as Adrien, Hope and Marinette looked at each other and they gave applause. "Ah, and it will soon be the Mayor's Special on the restaurant menu of my prestigious hotel!" Declared Mayor Bourgeois, tasting the soup. "Rock n' Roll! I can't wait to get home and write a song about soup!" Declared Jagged Stone.
Wang Cheng bows to the judges
"Thank you, but no longer Celestial Soup. Now called Marinette Soup" Said Wang Cheng.
Adrien and Hope are happy for Marinette because her uncle renamed the Celestial Soup to Marinette Soup
"Huh? Xièxiè" Said Marinette. "You're welcome" Said Wang Cheng. "Come over here and stand alongside your uncle, the World's Greatest Chef!" Declared Alec.
Adrien and Hope happily tell Marinette to go to her uncle, then Marinette and Wang Cheng both hug before finally, Adrien, Hope, Emily Marinette and her uncle also eat the soup.
