We begin in Hawk Moth's lair, as a lavender butterfly Kiwami recounts the history of the Miraculous.
"Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were... the Miraculous. Throughout history, heroes have used these jewels for the good of the human race. Two of these Miraculous are more powerful than the others; the earrings of the Ladybug, which provide the power of creation; and the ring of the Black Cat, which grants the power of destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both these jewels at the same time, will achieve absolute power" Said the Kiwami. "I want that absolute power, Nooroo. I must have those Miraculous!" Declared a male voice. "But nobody knows where these Miraculous are!" Declared Nooroo. "I found you though, my little Nooroo. Your Miraculous... remind me of its powers again" Said the voice. "The Moth Brooch allows you to give someone their own superpowers and to make that person your devoted follower" Said Nooroo. "And when it comes to luring superheroes, what could be better than creating supervillains?" Asked the voice. "But master, the Miraculous are not meant to be used for evil purposes!" Declared Nooroo. "I must have this absolute power! Your Miraculous is in my control! I am your master now, and you must obey me" Said the voice, pointing at Nooroo. "Yes, master" Said Nooroo, sadly.
The man puts the brooch on his collar.
"Nooroo, dark wings! Rise! From this day on, I shall be known as... Hawk Moth!" Declared the man, as he transforms into Hawk Moth and then laughs evilly.
Across town, in a massage shop, a light green turtle Kiwami wakes up and senses something is wrong while an old man tends to a customer.
"Master, Master!" Shouted the Kiwami.
The customer hears the Kiwami and looks up, searching for the source of the sound
"Master, master... chanting, it's all part of the treatment. Master, master... Thank you for coming, see you again next week!" Declared Master, as he finished the massage and pushed the customer out the door. "Master, the Moth Miraculous, I felt its aura" Said the Kiwami. "I thought it had been lost forever!" Declared Master. "But Master, it's a negative aura. I fear it may have gotten into the hands of a dark power!" Declared the Kiwami. "We must find Nooroo and his Miraculous. If it has gotten into the wrong hands, there's no telling what evil will come upon the world!" Declared Master.
Master shows his Miraculous, a bracelet with charms on it.
"Time to transform! Wayzz...!" Declared Master, before he blows his back out making him double over in pain. "Please, Master Wang Fu. Be reasonable. You are..." Said Wayzz. "Still young! I'm only 186. But you're right, Wayzz. I can no longer do it alone. We'll need some help" Said Master Wang Fu, before he walks over to his gramophone and opens it, revealing the Miraculous chest box and a photo of a woman.
Outside of Tom & Sabine Bolangerie Patisserie, present day. Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope as Kamen Rider Zi-O II and Emily as Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper are fighting a woman with navy blue skin wearing Onna-musha clothing with a galactic pattern on them as a news helicopter flew overhead carrying Nadja Chamack reporting on the scene with a cameraman.
"Don't be bemused! It's just the news! What you are witnessing is the valiant heroes of Paris fight against the akumatized villan Ginga-Musha! Seemingly, her power is to control meteorites but just earlier today, she was threatening to bring a massive meteor that could destroy Paris!" Declared Nadja.
Hope jumps towards Ginga-Musha prepared to strike her with the Zikan Girade, but Ginga-Musha covers herself in small meteorites, protecting herself from the blow. Ginga-Musha then sends the meteorites into Hope, knocking him back towards the other heroes.
"You know, she might be the toughest akumatized villan we've ever run into" Said Hope, standing up. "She makes me kinda nostalgic" Said Cat Noir.
Ginga-Musha fires a swarm of meteorites at the heroes, making them dodge around the swarm. Ginga-Musha then started making the meteorites circle around the heroes.
"I know what you mean, Cat. This Ginga-Musha is kind of like Stoneheart in a different arrangement" Said Ladybug. "Stoneheart? Who's that?" Asked Emily. "I don't recognise the name" Said Hope.
One of the meteorites flew into the circle and hit Cat Noir in the back, knocking him to the ground with a yell. Another one flew in and nearly hit Ladybug's hand.
"She's trying to pick us off and take our powers" Said Ladybug. "I can't let that happen... Don't worry. Just be sure to back me up" Said Hope. "Alright" Said Ladybug. "Certainly" Said Emily.
The clock arms on Hope's helmet then rotated, before Emily and Ladybug search around the meteorites tornado before they were both hit in the back. Ginga-Musha then jumps through a opening in the tornado and hits Hope in the back with a ōdachi, cancelling his transformation. We then return back to Hope just as the clock arms on Hope's helmet stop rotating.
"I see it! Your future! Emily, one is coming in from your right! Ladybug, you'll see yours coming if you stay still. I've got Ginga-Musha" Said Hope.
Hope kneels down and combines the Zikan Girade with the Saikyo Girade to make the Saikyo Zikan Girade as Emily and Ladybug dodge the meteorites that were shot at them. Ginga-Musha then jumps through a opening in the tornado and attempts to attack Hope, but Hope places the Girade Caliber into the Girade Ryūzu and changed it to Best Face mode before slashing through Ginga-Musha's ōdachi using King Giri Giri Slash, causing the meteorites to all fly into the air as Ginga-Musha transformed into a middle aged Japanese woman in a lab coat as a Akuma flew out of her ōdachi, witch turned into a crutch.
"Woah! That's TVi's newly hired meteorologist, Tenkeyohō Ryūsei! She was the akumatized villan. I wonder what happened to her..." Said Nadja in her helicopter. "Good job us" Said Emily, as Cat Noir stood up. "What did I miss? God! That rock hit me so hard!" Declared Cat Noir. "We won. I'd recommend visiting a hospital. I think she had the power to breech our defences, if not us Kamen Riders, then you Miraculous Heroes." Said Hope, as Ladybug opened up her yoyo. "Miraculous Heroes, huh? Has a nice ring to it, wouldn't you say Cat?" Asked Ladybug. "I kinda like it" Said Cat Noir.
Ladybug flings her Yo-Yo at the Akuma as Hope looks up into the air when suddenly, one of the meteorites started flying back down towards Ladybug.
"Look out!" Shouted Hope.
Ladybug looks over to Hope before he tackled her, knocking her out of the way of the meteorite witch shattered on impact with the ground. Hope then stood up and helped Ladybug to her feet.
"Thanks Hope. Now, let me just activate my..." Said Ladybug, as she checked her Yo-Yo. "Miraculous Ladybug? That's what you call it, right?" Said Hope. "The Akuma! I didn't get it..." Said Ladybug, dejected. "Well, that's fine. The victim is fine, so all the trouble is done with" Said Emily. "Emily is right. So what if the Akuma got away? It'll probably just go back to Hawk Moth and be useless until something happens to Tenkeyohō" Said Hope. "No! This is the worst case scenario!" Shouted Cat Noir. "Cat? What's got you all in a twist?" Asked Hope.
The Meteorites that went into the air then started to come down all over the city, impacting the ground. As people went to investigate the meteorites, a stream of Akumas poured out of the cracks in them, changing people nearby into frozen copies of Ginga-Musha as the remaining Akumas formed Hawk Moth's head well above the city.
"Hawk Moth!" Declared Car Noir. "Woah! He looks like that? He's a little more leathery then I like" Said Hope. "Ladybug! You managed to allow me to do this for a second time! This will be your last mistake!" Declared Hawk Moth, before the Hawk Moth Head went back to being Akumas. "What does he mean a second time?" Asked Emily. "I don't know. Maybe we..." Said Hope. "Hope. Thank you for saving me. For now, we should refuel and wait for the next Akuma Attack" Said Ladybug. "Oh. Ok. Well, we shall be seeing you when that happens" Said Hope.
Ladybug then swung away on her Yo-Yo, before Cat Noir huffed and pole vaulted away. Later, during the evening, Emily and Hope sit on a bench near the Fontaine du Palmier. Emily and Hope look around, seeing a horde of frozen Ginga-Musha's.
"... It's so weird" Said Emily. "I know, right? What are they? I mean, are they an army that the original can use?" Asked Hope. "Pitcher Plants that help Hawk Moth make new Akumas?" Asked Emily. "I doubt it... But, Ladybug and Cat Noir would know..." Said Hope. "You feel like you failed them?" Asked Emily. "Well... I couldn't let Ladybug be conked on the head, especially if I was right about my theory of those meteorites being able to break the enhanced durability of Miraculous Heroes, because if she didn't instantly die from a broken neck, then..." Said Hope. "Hope! I understand" Said Emily. "I just wanted to save her... The things Ladybug and Cat Noir said earlier about a villain called Stoneheart, and there reactions to everything else. It's like they've been through this before" Said Hope, before Hope took out his phone and started texting someone. "What are you doing?" Asked Emily. "I'm asking to meet up with Ladybug. You text Cat Noir and ask if you meet up with him. We are going to do some research on this Stoneheart" Said Hope. "By, what? Interrogating our friends?" Asked Emily, as Emily started texting Cat Noir.. "Oh, heavens no. I always try to ask nicely first" Said Hope. "Well, ok... Hey! Why am I asking Cat Noir?" Asked Emily. "Because he's never been my biggest fan" Said Hope. "Have you tried not teasing him so much?" Asked Emily. "Not teasing all the dumb jocks I see? I can also electrocute myself, if you want. Ladybug just agreed to meet on the roof of Marinette's house. Odd. Well, I'll see you soon" Said Hope. "See you" Said Emily, smiling.
Hope then walked away. Later, at night, Hope appeared on Marinette's roof. Looking around, he takes a seat on the ground and closes his eyes.
"Guess I'm the first one here. Witch is what happens when you organise things like this..." Said Hope. "Well, you'd be shocked by the timing of the Ladybug" Said a voice.
Hope opened his eyes, and Ladybug stood before him.
"Ladybug. Please, sit. This could be an uncomfortable talk" Said Hope, before Ladybug sat down on the ground. "What is it that you wanted to talk about?" Asked Ladybug. "I need... I would like you to tell me the story of the Akuma Victim known as Stoneheart" Said Hope. "Why would you want to know about Stoneheart?" Asked Ladybug. "Because. It's from the 2 weeks where I wasn't a hero here. Most of the attacks involving him are from that period in time. Telling me about Stoneheart can also help me figure out how to stop Ginga-Musha when she comes back with her army" Said Hope. "I suppose you have a point, but I'll have to be vague when it comes to my daily life..." Said Ladybug. "No need. This bracelet I'm wearing scrambles the names of all the people from my collage into La, Le, Lu, Lo, and Li when said to me vocally. Try confessing your name to me" Said Hope, revealing a silver bracelet around his wrist. "Uh, OK... My true identity is Marinette Dupain-Chang" Said Marinette. "Hello, Lu Lu-La. I'm Hope" Said Hope. "How interesting. Well, where should I start?" Asked Ladybug. "I think you should start at the beginning. So, what was the first day of the Miraculous Ladybug like?" Asked Hope.
In the past, at Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Marinette's phone is ringing as she sleeps on her bed.
"Marinette! Your alarm's been going off for fifteen minutes! You're going to be late for your first day back at school!" Declared Sabine.
Marinette crawls out from underneath bed covers
"Got it, Mom! Coming! I bet you anything Chloé will be in my class again" Said Marinette, as she walks down stairs. "Four years in a row, is that possible?" Asked Sabine. "Definitely. Lucky me!" Declared Marinette. "Oh, don't say that! It's the start of a new year. I'm sure everything will be just fine!" Declared Sabine.
Marinette smiles and nods, setting down the cereal. Several things are knocked over, spilling and falling to the floor. Marinette groans. Meanwhile, Tom is singing La Marseillaise as he works. Marinette walks into the room as Tom finishes preparing a box of macaroons.
"Dad, these are so awesome!" Declared Marinette. "Glad you like them" Said Tom. "Thank you Dad, my class will love them! You're the best!" Declared Marinette. "We're the best, thanks to your amazing designs" Said Tom.
Marinette hugs Tom, dropping the box. Tom catches it on his foot and tosses it back to her
"Thanks. See you tonight!" Declared Marinette, as she kisses Tom on the cheek.
Out on the street, Marinette tries to cross the street but a car stops her. Marinette sees Wang Fu crossing the street as a car is coming. Acting fast, Marinette grabs Fu by his hand and takes him to the other side of the street, dropping the box in the process
"Thank you, miss. Oh! What a disaster" Said Wang Fu, as people step on the spilled macarons. "Don't worry, I'm no stranger to disasters, besides, there are still a few left" Said Marinette, as Wang Fu grabs and eats one. "Mmmh. Delicious!" Declared Wang Fu.
The School bell rings
"Oh no, I'm gonna be late! Ah, have a nice day, sir!" Declared Marinette, before she runs towards the school, and Wang Fu looks at a strange looking box in his hand. "Thank you very much, young lady" Said Wang Fu.
Meanwhile, at Collège Françoise Dupont. Marinette runs to her classroom and takes a seat
"Nino, Why don't you have a seat in the front row this year?" Asked Miss Bustier. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng" Said Chloé. "Ugh. Here we go again" Said Marinette. "That's my seat" Said Chloé. "But Chloé, this has always been my seat" Said Marinette. "Not anymore! New school, new year, new seats!" Declared Sabrina. "So why don't you just go and sit beside that new girl over there? Listen. Adrien's arriving today, and since that's going to be his seat, this is going to be my seat. Get it?" Asked Chloé, pointing at Alya. "Who's Adrien?" Asked Marinette, making Chloé and Sabrina laugh. "Can you believe she doesn't know who Adrien is? What rock have you been living under?" Asked Chloe. "He's only a famous model" Said Sabrina. "And I am his best friend. He adores me. Go on, move!" Declared Chloé. "Hey! Who elected you Queen of Seats?" Asked Alya, walking over to Marinette, Chloé and Sabrina. "Oh, Look Sabrina! We've got a little do-gooder in our class this year. What are you gonna do, super newbie? Shoot beams at me with your glasses?" Asked Chloé. "Wouldn't you like to know. Come on" Said Alya.
Alya walks away, taking Marinette by the hand witch causes her to trip and fall, spilling all but one macaron
"Sorry, sorry, sorry..." Said Marinette. "Has everyone found a seat?" Asked Miss Bustier. "Yes, miss. Chillax, girl. No biggie" Said Alya. "I so wish I can handle Chloé the way you do" Said Marinette. "You mean the way Majestia does it" Said Alya.
Alya shows Marinette a picture of Majestia on her phone
"She says all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing. Well, that girl over there is evil, and we are the good people. We can't let her get away with it" Said Alya, pointing at Chloé. "Well, that's easier said than done. She likes to make my life miserable" Said Marinette. "That's cause you let her, girl! You just need more confidence!" Declared Alya.
Marinette grabs the last macaron from the box and gives half to Alya
"Marinette" Said Marinette. "Alya" Said Alya. "For those of you who don't yet know me, I'm Miss Bustier. I'll be your teacher this year" Said Miss Bustier. "Ugh, he should have been here by now" Said Chloé.
Present Day, the Agreste Mansion. Adrien sits in his room, looking out the window. With a small scowl, Adrien stands up and walks to his bed, before a knock on the window makes him turn back to see Emily standing on the window still.
"Adrien Agreste. I apologise for barging in this late, but I've been looking for you. We need to talk" Said Emily. "Talk about what?" Asked Adrien. "First things first. I've met your father, and he seems like the type to have security cameras in your room. How many?" Asked Emily. "None. At least, I hope so" Said Adrien. "Well, come with me anyway" Said Emily.
Emily holds out her hand, and after a moment's hesitation, Adrien grabs her hand. In the past, outside the school, Adrien is about to enter the school but Nathalie tries to make him change his mind.
"Adrien, please reconsider! You know what your father wants!" Declared Nathalie. "This is what I wanna do!" Declared Adrien, before he sees Wang Fu trying to get up and helps him. "Thank you, young man" Said Wang Fu. "You are welcome. I just wanna go to school like everybody else. What's so wrong with that? Please don't tell my father about all this" Said Adrien, before he ran into the school.
Meanwhile, in Miss Bustier's classroom.
"Those of you who have P.E, Mr. D'Argencourt is expecting you at the stadium. The rest of you can head over to the library..." Said Miss Bustier. "Kim!" Shouted Ivan. "Ivan, what is going on?" Asked Miss Bustier. "It's Kim! I'm so gonna get..." Said Ivan. "Ivan, go to the principal's office" Said Miss Bustier.
Ivan walks away angrily. Meanwhile, in Hawk Moth's Lair, his window opens.
"Negative emotions. This is perfect. Just what I need. Anger, sadness... Burn a hole into his heart, my horrible akuma. Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he turns a butterfly into an Akuma and sends it away.
Back at Mr. Damocles' office, Ivan opens the door without knocking.
"Excuse me, young man. Hasn't anyone ever taught you to knock? Go on. Out you go, try it again! Go on, knock" Said Mr. Damocles.
The akuma flies into the rugged paper and infects it
"Stoneheart, I am Hawk Moth. I give you the power to seek revenge on those who have wronged you" Said Hawk Moth. "Okay, Hawk Moth" Said Ivan, before Hawk Moth turns into Stoneheart. "Well, come on in" Said Mr. Damocles, before Stoneheart kicks down the door. "Kimmmmmmmmmmm!" Roared Stoneheart.
Meanwhile, in the Library. Marinette and Alya are thrown to the floor while the other students see Stoneheart in the security camera.
"Come on!" Declared Alya, helping Marinette to her feet. "Did you hear that?" Asked a Student. "Kimmmmmmmmmmm!" Roared Stoneheart. "Hello? This is the police? Give me the army!" Shouted Mr. Damocles. "What's going on? He had Ivan's voice?" Asked Marinette. "It's as if he's been transformed into a real-life supervillain! GPS, check. Battery, check. I am so outta here!" Declared Alya. "Hey! Where are you going!?" Asked Marinette. "Where there's a supervillain, there's always a superhero close behind! No way I'm missing this!" Declared Alya, as she ran off.
Marinette looks back at the security camera screen. She sees Stoneheart pick up a car and throw it at the security camera. breaking it and showing a rainbow error screen
"Kimmmmmmmmmmm!" Roared Stoneheart, making Marinette wince
Later, at the Agreste mansion. Wang Fu is outside with a little box while Nathalie askes Adrien questions in the dining room.
"Who was the first president of the 5th French Republic?" Asked Nathalie. "Everyone thinks it was de Gaulle, but it was actually René Coty before the first elections" Said Adrien. "Excellent, Adrien" Said Nathalie, as Gabriel Agreste walks into the dining room. "Give me a minute, would you, Nathalie?" Asked Gabriel. "Yes sir" Said Nathalie, before she left the room. "You are not going to school. I already told you" Said Gabriel. "But Father!" Shouted Adrian. "Everything you need is right here where I can keep an eye on you. I will not have you outside in that dangerous world" Said Gabriel. "It's not dangerous, Father. I'm always stuck in here by myself. Why can't I go to school and make friends just like everyone else?" Asked Adrien. "Because you are not like everyone else! You are my son... Nathalie, you are free to continue" Said Gabriel, before he left and Nathalie entered again. "We can leave it there for today if you have..." Said Nathalie, before Adrien ran upstairs.
As Adrien enters his room, he hears some thumping and looks out to the street to see the police and Stoneheart fighting.
"Ready? Fire!" Declared Roger.
The police fires at Stoneheart, but he gets bigger.
"I can't see it too well from here" Said Adrien.
Adrien turns on his TV, and watched a press conference with the Mayor of Paris, Mr. Bourgeois.
"I'm asking all parisians to stay home until this situation is under control" Said Mr. Bourgeois, as he walked back into his home. "Mr Bourgeois. Mr Bourgeois!" Shouted the News Crews on the sence. "As incredible as it seems, it's been confirmed that Paris is indeed being attacked by a supervillain. The police have been struggling to keep the situation under control" Said Nadja. "Be confident, the strong arm of the law will come crashing down on the... I mean, the other arm" Said Rodger, laying on the ground.
The scene shifts to a split screen of Marinette's room and Adrien's Room.
"I hate first days back at school..." Said Marinette.
Both Marinette and Adrien notice a little box near themselves.
"What's this doing here?" Asked Adrien and Marinette, before they open their respective boxes and the boxes glow.
We now focus in on Marinette, as she sees Tikki appear
"Ahh! Help! It's a giant bug! A... a mouse! A... a bug-mouse!" Shouted Marinette. "Everything's okay! Don't be scared!" Declared Tikki. "Ahh! Bug mouse talks!" Shouted Marinette, as she throws things at Tikki. "Oh my god!" Declared Hope.
Present Day. Ladybug looks up at Hope.
"Something wrong?" Asked Ladybug. "This story! It's an origin story!" Declared Hope. "Uh... Yeah. Why?" Asked Ladybug. "Well, it's a close as anyone can get to a superhero's baby pictures" Said Hope. "I do suppose you have a point there" Said Ladybug. "Anyway, Stoneheart is an Akumatized Ivan with a stone body that can absorb kinetic energy and turn it into a power source?" Asked Hope. "You seem to have gotten that quicker than anyone in Paris did, and that includes me and Cat Noir" Said Ladybug. "It's not like my first day was any better" Said Hope. "Well, aside from Cat Noir being jealous it was actually not too bad" Said Ladybug. "Oh, no, I meant my first dimension jump" Said Hope. "Oh? Where did you go?" Asked Ladybug. "American McGee dimension. Think Alice in Wonderland, but scary" Said Hope. "Interesting" Said Ladybug.
Meanwhile, on top of the Eiffel Tower, with Adrien and Emily.
"Oh, is this an origin story?" Asked Emily. "I do suppose that is the proper term" Said Adrien. "Oh. Nice" Said Emily.
Adrien's room, the past. Adrien sees Plagg as he appear
"No way... Like the genie in the lamp!" Declared Adrien. "I met him once. So he grants wishes. Big deal! I'm way more personable! Plagg. Nice to meet you. Ooh, swanky..." Said Plagg, as he flies around the room. "No! Don't touch that! Come back here!" Shouted Adrien. "Ohh! So shiny! Can you eat this?" Asked Plagg.
Plagg tries to bite the game arcade's joystick, but cannot bite through.
"No, you can't. Ooh, what about this?" Asked Plagg.
Meanwhile, in Marinette's room.
"Listen, Marinette. I know everything may seem a bit strange to you..." Said Tikki.
Marinette traps her in a glass cup
"Okay, if that makes you feel safer..." Said Tikki. "What are you, and how do you know my name?" Asked Marinette. "I am a kwami, and my name is Tikki. Now just let me explain" Said Tikki.
Back in Adrien's room, Adrien catches Plagg and holds him in his hand.
"I still don't know what you're doing here" Said Adrien. "Look, I'm a kwami. I grant powers. Yours is the power of destruction, got it?" Asked Plagg. "Um. Sure" Said Adrien. "Good. Now, you got anything to eat? I'm starving..." Said Plagg. "My dad's pranking me, right? Wait, he couldn't be. He has no sense of humor" Said Adrien.
Plagg flies out of Adrien's hands
"Your father must never know that I exist! Or anyone for that matter" Said Plagg.
Meanwhile, In Marinette's room, Marinette is attempting to open the trapdoor.
"Mom! Dad!" Shouted Marinette. "No! I'm your friend, Marinette! You must trust me. You're the only one who can stop Stoneheart" Said Tikki, as she flies out of the glass
Marinette screams, as at Fu's massage room, Wayzz still doubts the Chosen Ones are the right ones.
"Do you think they'll be up to it, Master?" Asked Wayzz. "I only got it wrong once. It will never happen again. At least I hope not" Said Wang Fu, as he closes the box.
Back in Marinette's room, Marinette argues against Tikki.
"This must be some mistake! The only superpower I could possibly have is super-awkwardness... I know! Alya would know! That's my friend. Well, at least I think she would... She loves superheroes! She'd totally be up for the job! You should totally go see her!" Declared Marinette. "Marinette, you are the chosen one!" Declared Tikki.
In Adrien's room, Adrian is doing the exact same thing
"But I'm stuck here! I'm never even let to go to school! What good is a superhero who's imprisoned in his own house!" Declared Adrien. "No good. That's why it's all going to change soon. If you're willing to change, that is" Said Plagg.
In Marinette's room, Marinette is putting on the earrings
"Okay, so all I have to do is break the object where the whatchama-call-it is hiding?" Asked Marinette. "It's called an akuma. Which you must encapture" Said Tikki. "Got it! Capture it! And what's that charm thing again?" Asked Marinette. "The Lucky Charm! It's your secret superpower!" Declared Tikki. "Aww... this is all going too fast, Tikki... I... won't be able to pull this off" Said Marinette. "Trust yourself, Marinette. Just say spots on" Said Tikki. "Spots on? Whoa! What is happening?!" Asked Marinette, as the earrings activate.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug for the first time
Meanwhile, in Adrien's room, the same!
"Claws out! That's how you transform" Said Plagg. "Got it. Plagg, claws out!" Declared Adrien. "No, wait! I haven't finished explaining!" Declared Plagg, as he enters the ring.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir for the first time
"Too cool!" Declared Adrien.
Scene: Marinette's room.
"Aww... how does this thing come off? Tikki, if you can hear me, I want my normal clothes back. I'm not going anywhere!" Declared Marinette, as she sees the screen witch shows Nadja following Stoneheart via helicopter. "Stoneheart is heading toward the Montparnasse tower. The monster seems to be unstoppable!" Declared Nadja. "
Marinette sees Alya going after Stoneheart and gasps
"Alya?" Asked Marinette. "Marinette! Did you get home okay?" Asked Sabine. "Uhh... yeah, Mom! Just super!" Said Marinette, as she goes upstairs. "Marinette? You in here? Tom, we better call the school" Said Sabine, checking out Marinette's Room. "Okay, I have special powers!... and apparently this amazing super yo-yo thingy?" Asked Marinette, as she flings her yo-yo, making it wrap itself around a gargoyle statue.
She pulls the yo-yo and it whisks her to the other side. Meanwhile, Adrien is tightrope walking over his stick
"I'm starting to get the hang of this" Said Adrien.
Adrien sees Ladybug about to fall. She falls in his arms. They both fall and get hung by the yo-yo.
"Well, hey there. Nice of you to drop in" Said Adrien. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose" Said Marinette. "I bet you're the partner my kwami told me about. I'm... Cat Noir. Yeah, Cat Noir. And you?" Asked Cat Noir. "I'm Ma... err... Mar... uhh..." Said Marinette.
Marinette pulls the yo-yo and it hits Cat Noir
"Madly Clumsy. I'm so clumsy" Said Marinette. "No sweat, clumsy girl. I'm learning the ropes too" Said Cat Noir.
Suddenly, the floor trembles. Cat Noir sees a building falling and goes to where it is
"Hey! Where are you going?" Asked Marinette. "To save Paris, right?" Asked Cat Noir. "Ugh. Trust yourself, trust yourself..." Said Marinette.
Marinette uses the yo-yo to swing around and follow Cat Noir. At Parc des Princes, the students are done with P.E. But then Stoneheart appears.
"Kimmmmmmmmmmm! So, who's wuss now?" Asked Stoneheart.
Kim runs away from the monster, but he trips and falls. Cat Noir and Marinette arrive, with Marinette hiding behind some chairs
"Hey, it's not very nice to pick on people who are smaller than you" Said Cat Noir. "I guess you're talking about yourself" Said Stoneheart. "Everything's going to plan. Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous have been activated. Here they come to save the day, and now my supervillain will destroy them" Said Hawk Moth.
Cat Noir hits Stoneheart with his stick, but he gets bigger
"Where are you, partner?" Asked Cat Noir. "Oh, I can't. I'm not gonna be able to do it..." Said Marinette.
Stoneheart throws a net away. The net is about to hit Alya but Cat Noir saves her.
"What are you waiting for, super red bug? The world is watching you!" Declared Alya.
Marinette is suddenly filled with courage. She enters the stadium and is about to fight Stoneheart.
"Animal cruelty? How shameful!" Declared Marinette. "Yes!" Declared Alya. "Sorry it took so long, Cat Noir" Said Marinette. "It's cool, Wonderbug. Now, let's kick his rocky behind!" Declared Cat Noir. "Wait! Haven't you noticed? He gets bigger and stronger with every attack. We have to do something different" Said Marinette. "Different how?" Asked Cat Noir. "Uhhh... I don't know" Said Marinette. "Okay then. Let's use our powers. Cataclysm! Apparently I destroy whatever I touch" Said Cat Noir. "I don't need a superpower to destroy everything" Said Marinette.
Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm to break the soccer net behind him as an example, not realising this uses up the Cataclysm
"No, don't do that!" Shouted Marinette. "Cool. It's just you and me now! Time to rumble, soon-to-be rubble!" Declared Cat Noir. "Cat Noir! Wait!" Shouted Marinette.
Cat Noir leaps towards Stoneheart to try and defeat him, before realising his Cataclysm isn't active.
"Uh-oh. I guess I only get one shot to use my power" Said Cat Noir.
Stoneheart throws him back to Marinette.
"And you only have five minutes before you transform back. Didn't your kwami explain anything to you?" Asked Marinette. "I guess I was a little excited about my new life" Said Cat Noir. "Well, up to me. Lucky Charm!" Declared Marinette.
A wetsuit appears
"Super power?" Asked Cat Noir. "My kwami told me I have to break the object where the whatchama-call-it... er, the akuma is hiding" Said Marinette. "Well, he's made entirely out of stone" Said Cat Noir. "His right hand, it's still closed. He never opens it. It's like the Russian dolls. The object isn't on him, it's hidden in his fist!" Declared Marinette. "So what's your plan?" Asked Cat Noir.
Present Day, with Hope and Ladybug
"What? That situation with the object in his hand was nothing like Russian Nesting Dolls" Said Hope. "Did you make a lot of sense in that dimension you were talking about?" Asked Ladybug. "I could have limited myself to words containing the first thirteen letters of the alphabet and still made more sense. That's just how little sense that dimension made" Said Hope.
Back in the past
"Hmmm..." Pondered Marinette.
Looking around, she spots a hose, Alya and the wetsuit
"I got it! I need this!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette grabs the hose and ties it to the suit before tying Cat Noir's feet with her yo-yo.
"Don't resist and trust me" Said Marinette. "This girl's crazy!" Declared Cat Noir, as he gets thrown towards Stoneheart who catches him in his free hand. "Catch me if you can!" Shouted Marinette, running towards Stoneheart.
Stoneheart drops the akumatized object and grabs Marinette.
"And now... Alya, the tap!" Declared Marinette
Alya goes to the water tap and opens it. The water sprouts and inflates the suit. Stoneheart lets go of her. Marinette breaks the akumatized object and the Akuma flies away. Stoneheart is turned back into Ivan.
"This girl is awesome. She's crazy awesome" Said Cat Noir. "What's going on? What am I doing here?" Asked Ivan. "You were incredible, miss... uh... Bug lady. You did it!" Declared Cat Noir. "We both did it, partner" Said Marinette. "Pound it!" Declared Marinette and Cat Noir, as they gave each other a fistbump.
Cat Noir's Miraculous beeps
"You should get going. Our identities must remain secret" Said Marinette. "Farewell, m'lady. Let's do this again soon, okay?" Asked Cat Noir, before he left. "Not too soon, I hope" Said Marinette, as she looks over to Ivan.
Marinette grabs the paper and reads it
"You haven't even got the guts to tell Mylène you love her, wuss" Read Marinette. "Kim wrote it. He's always making fun of me" Said Ivan. "You know, you shouldn't get so bent out of shape about that. There's no shame in telling someone you love them, Ivan" Said Marinette. "Hey, how did you know my name, miss?" Asked Ivan, making Marinette stammer. "Uncanny, amazing, spectacular! Are you gonna be protecting Paris from now on? How did you get your powers? Did you get stung by a radioactive Ladybug? Oh, I've got a ton of questions to ask you, uh, miss... uhh..." Said Alya. "Uhh... Ladybug! Call me Ladybug" Said Ladybug, as she swung away on her yo-yo. "Ladybug... Super awesome!" Declared Alya.
Some time later, In Marinette's room, Marinette is watching the news on her monitor.
"So thanks to this amateur footage, the Parisians now know the identities of their heroes!" Declared Nadja. "I did it, Tikki!" Declared Marinette. "You see? You were up to it!" Declared Tikki. "Marinette! Dinner time!" Yelled Sabine, from downstairs.
Meanwhile, in Adrien's room, Adrien is also watching an announcement from the mayor on a monitor.
"I am pleased to announce that we will organize a huge celebration in honor of our city's new protectors. Ladybug and Cat Noir" Said Mayor Bourgeois. "Ladybug. Her name is Ladybug..." Said Adrien, dreamily. "Eww, what is this?" Asked Plagg. "Seriously? My personal chef made all this" Said Adrien. "If you expect me to get my energy back after the transformation, i need to eat something more... delicate" Said Plagg. "Ah... Okay. What do you want?" Asked Adrien.
Meanwhile, at the Eiffel Tower. The released akuma lands on top of a pole and it multiplies. Back at Marinette's Parents Bakery, Marinette was washing the dishes when she hears her mother watching the TV
"Oh my!" Yelled Sabine. "Hmmm?" Asked Marinette, as she went over to join her mom. "Just as Paris is about to celebrate the appearance of our two new superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir, a new wave of panic is sweeping across the capital as dozens of people are mysteriously transformed into stone monsters. It's simply unbelievable" Said Nadja, before Marinette ran to her room.
Meanwhile, in Adrien's room...
"Camembert cheese. Fantastic. All he eats is Camembert, which means I'm gonna smell like stinky old cheese" Complained Adrian, as Plagg ate a hunk of Camembert Cheese. "These victims transformed into stone beings are still like statues. The police are perplexed to what will happen to them. Will they come back to life or be frozen in time forever?" Asked Nadja, over the monitor. "Ah, Plagg? What's going on? I thought we defeated him" Said Adrien. "Did you capture the akuma?" Asked Plagg & Tikki, as we transition to Marinette's Room. "What's capturing the akuma got to do with the other stone beings?" Asked Marinette. "An akuma can multiply, that's why it must be captured. If Ivan's emotions become negative again, then the akuma will turn him back into Stoneheart! He'll control all the stone beings and bring them to life to serve as his army!" Declared Tikki. "So that means... this is all my fault? I knew it! See, Tikki? I'm not cut out to be a superhero! I'm only gonna keep messing up" Said Marinette. "Keep calm. It was your first time. You're going to go back and capture Stoneheart's akuma, and do it successfully!" Declared Tikki. "I can't! I told you, I'm clumsy! I create disaster all the time! I'll only make things worse for me, for you and for everyone. Cat Noir will be better off without me. I'm quitting" Said Marinette, before we transition back to Adrien's Room. "So I can't do anything without Ladybug?" Asked Adrien. "Only Ladybug can capture akumas and repair damage caused by supervillains" Said Plagg, before we return to Marinette's Room. "If Cat Noir can't capture the akumas, then... just find another Ladybug. I told you, I'm not cut out to be Ladybug! I'm sorry Tikki" Said Marinette, as she takes her earrings off. "No, don't do tha..." Said Tikki, as she faded out of reality. "...Tikki?" Asked Marinette.
Marinette puts the earrings back in the box and puts the box in the drawer
"I'm really sorry, Tikki..." Said Marinette.
Meanwhile, in Hawk Moth's lair.
"Ivan has a sensitive heart. It won't be long before anger and sadness strike again. And he and the stone beings will come alive. Then we'll see how long you will remain hidden, Ladybug and Cat Noir. Once I have your Miraculous, you will be powerless against me" Said Hawk Moth
Meanwhile, Ivan sits on the stairs while listening to music, Adrien sits on his couch while he worries while Plagg is in front of him, Marinette regrets her decisions in front of her vanity
"Everyone will be powerless against me! I will have absolute power! Mwahahahaha!" Declared Hawk Moth.
Hawk Moth cackles as his window closes, before we return to the present day with Ladybug and Hope.
"You quit!?" Asked Hope. "I wasn't exactly the paragon of determination I seem to be today" Said Ladybug. "That's an understatement. I guess that there's more to the tale of Stoneheart, or have I missed a ton of statues of stone warriors ever since I've been here" Said Hope. "There is. But, I'm going to save it for later" Said Ladybug. "What? Why!?" Asked Hope. "I should be checking for stray Akumas. And you should be finding the best way to defend us from those meteorites" Said Ladybug. "But, this story is the best way" Said Hope, as both he and Ladybug stand up. "If I know you, you sent Emily to get Cat Noir's version of events, right?" Asked Ladybug. "Yes, I did" Said Hope. "So you should be checking what powers you have that can stop magic piercing meteorites" Said Ladybug. "... You raise a good point" Said Hope, before Ladybug swung away.
Hope thought about Ladybug's words for a second, before he snapped his fingers and then teleported away.
