Today's adventure starts at the TVi studio, as hit show The Challenge goes on the air with Alec opening the show.
"Welcome back to everyone's #1 live game show: The Challenge! Let's give it up for our awesome contestant, Nino!" Declared Alec.
Nino walks onto the stage, and Alec greets him
"So Nino, you're a student and a DJ. That's pretty awesome! Check out the decks we got for you!" Declared Alec
The scene shifts to Marinette's house, living room. The Challenge is playing on the TV as Tom talks to Marinette.
"Grounded? For what?!" Asked Marinette. "Let's jog your memory, Marinette. Monday morning, absent from P.E..." Said Tom.
Marinette remembers that she, as Ladybug, was saving a helicopter at that time
"... I was in study hall" Said Marinette. "... Friday evening, late to study hall..." Said Tom.
Marinette remembers that she and Hope was saving a kitten from a tree before she got to study hall
"I was saving a kitten from a tree. Hope was there too" Said Marinette. "Marinette, please. You're never where you're supposed to be! The only way we can keep track of you is by keeping you here, grounded" Said Tom. "But I was invited... Nino is my friend, he was counting on me" Said Marinette, as she turns around to watch. "So, the challenge the viewers have chosen for you is... To get the mayor of Paris, André Bourgeois, to dance! Thank you for agreeing to play with us today, sir. What are Nino's chances tonight?" Asked Alec. "Zero. I despise dancing. The last time I set foot on a dance floor, Madonna was in kindergarten" Said Andre, as he appears on a screen. "I know Nino's your friend. But until your unexcused absences come to an end, that's the way it's going to be" Said Tom, turning off the TV. "Awesome" Said Marinette.
Marinette goes to her room, sad and sits in her chair and groans
"Can you blame him? How are they supposed to know that you're missing class to save the world?" Asked Tikki. "I guess being grounded comes with the territory of being a top secret superhero. Doesn't seem fair though" Said Marinette. "It's not. But hey, if Nino wins, you're not grounded next week. You can go see him at the show!" Declared Tikki. "Yeah, but Adrien was there today!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette turns on her computer, and Nino can be seen DJing. During this time, in Hawk Moth's lair, his window opens
"The Challenge... what an interesting concept. A TV show with such potential with negative emotions. Oh, the destructive mayhem we could cause..." Said Hawk Moth.
Back in Marinette's room, Marinette is talking to Alya on the phone.
"Seriously? How can you say that, Alya?" Asked Marinette. "Sorry, but I kinda get your dad, Marinette. You're never where you say you'll be. Showing up late, splitting mysteriously and all. I'd almost suspect you were leading... a double life" Said Alya. "Gimme a break! You're being ridiculous" Said Marinette, shocked.
Meanwhile. In the TVi studio, Simon Grimault arrives and tries to shake Adrien's hand, but Adrien's bodyguard shields Adrien and stands protectively in front of him.
"No! It's okay!" Shouted Adrian, shocked. "Victory! Challenge conquered by Nino. You moved your head to the beat, Mayor Bourgeois! That counts as dancing!" Declared Alec. "What?! That's not true! My neck was... itching, that's all" Said André. "Relieving an itch to the beat counts as dancing, too! Nino, congratulations. You'll return in one week to meet your next challenge! And now, for our next contestant, welcome Simon Grimault!" Declared Alec, as Simon walked onto the stage. "Awesome, dude!" Declared Adrien, as Nino left the stage. "You did very well, Nino. Let's just see how he does" Said Hope, as he and Emily walk over to Nino and Adrian. "Mr. Grimault, you are a hypnotist. You use cards to hypnotize people to get what you want from them!" Declared Alec. "Well, yes, I'm a hypnotist. But, uh, I don't use my skills to get anything" Said Simon. "So, your challenge today, Simon, is to use your talents to bring a very elusive celebrity to this very TV set! Give it up for the king of fashion, Gabriel Agreste!" Declared Alec. "What is this show? I was told this was an interview" Said Gabriel. "Dude, your dad!" Declared Nino. "I didn't think Gabriel would show up on something like this" Said Emily. "He's always busy..." Said Adrien. "Do your thing, Grimault, let's see if you can bring Mr. Agreste here with your hypnotic persuasion!" Declared Alec. "I told you, I don't make people..." Said Simon. "Ha! A shy hypnotist! How funny is that, Gabriel?" Asked Alec. "Hilarious. Your show is pathetic. And so is your contestant. Control me? Never" Said Gabriel, before he ends his transmission. "Huh?" Asked Alec. "That's my dad, all right" Said Adrien, depressingly. "Looks like Mr. Agreste has turned off your challenge. Game over!" Declared Alec. "What? But he didn't get a chance to do his thing" Said Emily.
Simon is lead off the stage, as meanwhile in Hawk Moth's lair, he prepares for another day of evil.
"Yes. Humiliation and anger. The perfect elements for transforming a loser into a winner. Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he turns a butterfly into an Akuma and sends it after Simon.
Back in the TVi Studio, Simon trips as he exits a room and spills a deck of cards everywhere, so he starts to pick up the cards he dropped. The akuma flies and infects one of Simon's cards
"I am Hawk Moth. You are now Simon Says. I will help you be the most powerful hypnotist ever. You will help me in return when the time's right. So, do we have a deal, Simon Says?" Asked Hawk Moth. "Simon says... yes" Said Simon, before he turns into Simon Says and goes inside the studio. "Simon says the show is not over!" Declared Simon Says. "What on earth?!" Asked Alec, as Simon Says picks a card from his deck. "Silence! Silence says you're lame! As lame as a duck!" Declared Simon Says.
He throws the duck card at Alec, and he starts acting like a duck. The Gorilla tries to stop him
"Simon says stop!" Declared Simon Says.
Simon Says then throws a card with a pause sign at the Gorilla and freezes him
"And now, Simon says you are a Gorilla!" Declared Simon Says.
Simon Says then throws the Gorilla card at the Gorilla and he starts acting like a Gorilla
"Really? A guy called Simon gets transformed into a villain called Simon Says? That's so lame!" Declared Emily, catching the ire of Simon Says. "Oh yeah, well maybe Simon Says you are a baby!" Declared Simon Says, as Simon throws the Baby card at Emily, but Emily tilts her head to the side, making it miss. "No need for name calling. I just think you can do with some improvement. Come on, how do you feel about Simon Fates? It's a twofer in the reference catagory" Said Emily. "Simon Says his name is already perfect!" Declared Simon Says.
Simon Says throws more baby cards at Emily, but she keeps weaving around them as Adrien and Nino take the opportunity to run away, before Adrien goes behind the door to transform into Cat Noir offscreen. Meanwhile, in Marinette's room, Marinette is still on the phone as her computer shows footage of the attack.
"Marinette, look!" Shouted Tikki. "Ah! I gotta go, Alya!" Declared Marinette, as she sees the screen. "Have a good one! I'll get back to my babysitting" Said Alya, over the phone. "Tikki, what am I gonna do? I'm grounded!" Declared Marinette. "You don't have a choice! You must transform! We just have to be extra careful! Use that pillow under your sheets" Said Tikki.
Marinette goes to her bed and sees the pillow. She takes the pillow and rearranges the bed, to make it look like she is sleeping under it
"Lookin' good" Said Tikki. "Alright. Tikki, spots on! Ha!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug
Ladybug jumps from her house's roof and swings to the TVi Studio, where Emily knocks back Simon Says with a kick.
"Have you taken some more consideration into your name? Nobody wants to kick the rear of any old Simon" Said Emily, as Cat Noir entered the room. "What am I doing? You are just destracting me from my goal!" Declared Simon. "And what goal is that, Garfunkle?" Asked Emily. "It's very simple, Emile. Gabriel Agreste turned down my challenge and he will pay for it! By midnight tonight, he will entertain us in this very TV studio!" Declared Simon Says. "Dad?" Wispered Adrien. "... It's risky, but it's given me an idea. Good luck, Simon Says" Said Hawk Moth, as he walked towards an elevator in his lair.
Cat Noir sees Nino hiding and he shushes Nino and jumps on Simon Says
"Cat Noir says zip it and gimme those cards!" Declared Cat Noir, before he throws Simon Says across the room. "Cat Noir! We should be able to stall him until Ladybug gets here" Said Emily.
Simon Says throws a card at the Gorilla who then moves between the heroes and Simon Says, and pounds on his chest.
"Simon believes that now is his time of departure. Unfortunately, it is time for you two to learn about your mortality" Said Simon Says.
The Gorilla charges towards Emily and Cat Noir and punches them both out into the hallway, and the Gorilla chases them while Simon Says picks up all the cards he missed.
"I could use an army" Said Simon Says.
Outside the studio. A group of people are waiting for the elevator, but Simon Says comes out of it.
"Simon says... you are all soldiers! Simon says... search all over Paris, my army, and find Gabriel Agreste!" Declared Simon Says, as the people run away, but he throws soldier cards at them.
Meanwhile, Cat Noir and Emily are fighting the Gorilla. Cat hits him with his staff, but the Gorilla grabs the staff. Emily quickly takes two short swords off her back before combined them into a bladed staff and pushed the centre of the bladed staff into the Gorrilla's stomach, knocking him back and making him let go of Cat Noir's Staff.
"Thank you, Emily" Said Cat Noir. "You're welcome, Adrien" Said Emily. "What?! Why would you say my name in front of him!?" Asked Cat Noir. "He's hypnotised. He won't be able to retain that information. What, did you think I wouldn't say your name if I knew nobody else would learn it?" Asked Emily.
The Gorilla tried to punch Emily, but she and Cat Noir blocked his punch with their staffs, and then started to back him up towards the elevator witch opened in time for them to kick him into the elevator. Emily jumps in and presses every button, and quickly jumps out before the elevator doors close. Meanwhile, Ladybug kicks the door down in the Studio and sees nobody in the studio, until Nino pokes his head out from behind a door.
"Ladybug!" Declared Nino. "Oh... Hey! You okay?" Asked Ladybug. "I'm fine, but my boy Adrien's still here somewhere! And Emily went to fight the bad Simon dude" Said Nino. "Don't worry, we'll find him" Said Ladybug. "You don't have to look for too long" Said Emily, as she and Cat Noir enter the Studio. "Emily, Cat Noir. Where is Adrien?" Asked Ladybug. "Did you mean Simon Says?" Asked Emily. "No, she means Adrien Agreste. But, as for Simon Says, he's looking for Gabriel Agreste and he has an army. We better get to him faster then they can!" Declared Cat Noir. "Alright. I'll take one last look around for Nino's friend" Said Ladybug. "Forget it. He's probably hypnotized" Said Emily. "But he's my buddy!" Declared Nino. "... I guess it wouldn't hurt to check, but we need to get to the Agreste Estate. Me and Cat Noir will check the eastern half of the building, you and Ladybug will check the western half. I'll call Hope and see if he can meet us at the Agreste Estate" Said Emily. "Ok. We'll meet you their" Said Ladybug.
Emily and Cat Noir run out one door, as Nino and Ladybug run out another.
"Well, where oh where can I find an Adrien Agreste?" Asked Emily, mock searching for Adrien. "Very funny. I think finding Adrien will be a piece of cake" Said Cat Noir, as he turns back into Adrien and Plagg landed in Adrian's pocket. "Oh! I found you. Do you wanna talk to your crush before I take you home?" Asked Emily, before Ladybug and Nino entered the East Wing. "Nino!" Declared Adrien, before he and Nino hugged. "Adrien! Dude, you okay?" Asked Adrien. "I'm fine... Hello?" Asked Adrien, becoming more timid upon seeing Ladybug. "Uh... Hello! You sure you're okay?" Asked Ladybug. "He's fine. We need to get to the Agreste Estate pronto though. Before Simon Says gets there" Said Emily. "Ok. Let's go. Cat Noir and Hope will meet us there" Said Ladybug.
Some time later, at the Agreste mansion. Emily, Ladybug, Nino, Hope and Adrian arrive at the Mansion and enter through the front door.
"Nathalie, where's my father? He's in danger!" Declared Adrien. "He knows already" Said Nathalie. "Good evening, Ladybug. Adrian, Emily, Nino, Hope" Said Gabriel. "Chilling" Said Hope. "Father, you've gotta get outta here. The hypnotist Simon Says is coming after you!" Declared Adrien. "What? And be dictated by a madman? Certainly not" Said Gabriel. "I've seen this madman's power first hand" Said Emily. "And?" Asked Gabriel. "Currently, your favourite bodyguard is a attack gorilla riding an elevator, Alec is a chicken and I almost became a baby. Oh, and he's raising an army under his control. He's like Darkblade, but with a better range" Said Emily. "And now I can see why I was called in for this" Said Hope. "Hmmmmmm... Adrien. Head up to your room now, and take Nino with you. I don't want you getting hurt. Nathalie, make sure they stay there" Said Gabriel. "Emily, you go..." Said Hope. "Ah, no. You go babysit the teenagers. Next time, you'll be here supporting your friends" Said Emily. "I was dealing with a hostage situation in Rawalpindi, Pakistan" Said Hope, before he, Adrian and Nino left with Nathalie. "Rawalpindi, Pakistan?" Asked Gabrial. "Yes, sir. It's quite close to Chakra, Saddar and Ranial, also Pakistan and it's an 8 hour, 15 minutes flight from Paris. Or an 89 hour drive or an 59 day walk" Said Emily. "How do you know that?" Asked Ladybug. "Well I'm pretty much the people gatherer at Rainbow, so when certain people need to go from home immediately to the field because they were specifically requested, I get their flights or cars booked and ready" Said Emily. "Well, I guess I and my son are in the most capable hands possible. And maybe I can try opening a Gabriel Brand store in Rawalpindi" Said Gabriel. "An good idea. Over 2 million population, beautiful scenery and there's space for it. Long flight though" Said Emily.
Meanwhile, outside of Adrian's Bedroom
"You sure your old man isn't some robot or something?" Asked Nino. "When my father's concerned I'm never sure of anything" Said Adrien. "We can always check for gears and circuits later" Said Hope, before they enter Adrien's room. "Hoho! Dude! I've seen stadiums tinier than your room!" Declared Nino. "I'm quite surprised that it's not a broom closet under the stairs" Said Hope. "Make yourself at home. I'm gonna take a shower" Said Adrien. "Now?!" Asked Nino. "What can I say? It's the model in me! Why doesn't my father ever listen to me? Plagg, claws out!" Declared Adrien, as he enters the shower and talks to Plagg.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir
Meanwhile, Ladybug and Emily are looking at some pictures of Adrien modeling.
"Isn't he flawless?" Asked Gabriel. "Huh? What? Flaw-what?" Asked Ladybug. "Adrien, my son. He's the image of perfection, don't you think?" Asked Gabriel. "He definitely has a better attitude then most kids his age" Said Emily. "Oh, yes, he's perfect. I mean, um, I don't know him very well, but he seems..." Said Ladybug. "I've never noticed your earrings before. They really are quite unique. May I?" Asked Gabriel, approaching Ladybug.
Ladybug's yo-yo rings
"Excuse me" Said Ladybug, as she signalled to Emily
Ladybug and Emily exit the room, and Ladybug opens her yo-yo revealing Cat Noir on a screen
"Cat Noir, where were you?" Asked Ladybug. "I, I was... keeping Simon Says at bay!" Declared Cat Noir. "And what's the situation outside the Agreste Manor?" Asked Emily. "Unfortunate. He's coming and he's got company" Said Cat Noir. "Ok. I'll open the front door, you get inside" Said Emily, before she walked over to the front door and opened it.
Cat Noir enters the room and runs over to the room Ladybug is in.
"Close off all exits! They're coming from another direction! Do as I say! Engage the self-defense system, we need total lockdown!" Declared Cat Noir.
Gabriel activates the total defense system, causing a giant metal casing to unfold over the mansion.
"Lockdown engaged" Announced the Total Defence System. "How do you know so much about the system?" Asked Gabriel. "Uh... In a house like this... it's a given!" Declared Cat Noir. "Hey, we came as soon as the giant metal sheet came down over the windows. What's going on?" Asked Hope, as he entered the room. "This mansion is in Total Defence Mode. They won't get in. This house is built like a fortress" Said Gabriel.
Meanwhile, Outside the mansion...
"Simon says, destroy!" Declared Simon Says.
Simon Says throws bull cards at the hypnotized people, and they knock the gate down. Meanwhile, in Gabriel's atelier, the lights quickly flicker off and on as emergency power comes on.
"A fortress with terrible wiring. You wanna add a malfunctioning sprinkler system with that?" Asked Hope. "There are too many of them. Your defense system is failing!" Declared Cat Noir. "We should transform" Said Emily. "Right. Adrien and Nino are in Adrian's room" Said Hope. "That's the most protected room in the house, so it'll be impossible to get in there without a control. Here, Nathalie. Take a control so you can get into Adrien's room. She's going with whoever is going to get Adrian" Said Gabrial, giving Nathalie a remote control. "Ladybug, you and Hope will go and get Adrian" Said Emily. "Fine by me" Said Hope, as he puts on the Stand Player.
Hope holds up a Stand Tape labeled Sticky Fingers before placing it into the Stand Player, making it announce "Kono Bīto! Kuruu!", before Hope pressed a button making it announce "Kuruoshī! Yasei! Hijōshiki! Drums beatin' cold, blood runs hot! Vento Aureo, Sticky Fingers!", as Hope transformed into Kamen Rider Stand Sticky Fingers Form.
"Woah, that's a look" Said Cat Noir. "Sticky. Fingers" Said Hope. "It looks more like a Zipper. Man" Said Cat Noir, imitating Hope. "Hum hum. Emily, any ideas on what Cat Noir can do?" Asked Hope. "I was thinking of reinforcing the outer defenses" Said Cat Noir. "Oh. That can be arranged" Said Hope. "Save it for your enemies. Gabrial, go hide in the atrium. It's not safe in here" Said Emily. "No one tells me what to do. Not even a super..." Said Gabrial. "You're in danger, like everyone else! So stop pretending you're above us all, just do what she tells you to do!" Declared Cat Noir.
Gabriel and Cat Noir are shocked
"...Quite a temper. You remind me of someone" Said Gabrial.
The Heroes exits the room. Gabriel looks at a picture of Emilie. Meanwhile, Outside the mansion. The hypnotized people are invading.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Simon Says" Said Hawk Moth, from his lair. "Gabriel is here!" Declared Simon Says. "Yes, but don't forget our deal. I feel those heroes nearby. Once you've got them in front of you, you'll be able to honor our agreement. Just take their jewels, the Miraculouses" Said Hawk Moth. "It's as good as done. Simon says we'll defeat them!" Declared Simon Says.
Meanwhile, in the Agreste mansion. Ladybug, Hope and Nathalie enter Adrien's room.
"Ladybug! What's going down? And what has Hope transformed into?" Asked Nino. "... Sticky Fingers" Said Hope. "It looks more like..." Said Nino. "Yes! Thank you. We need to move to safer ground. Where is Adrien?" Asked Hope. "Taking a shower" Said Nino. "Now?" Asked Ladybug. "Still?" Asked Hope. "It's the model in him" Said Nino. "... Right. Ah, Nathalie, take Nino to the atrium. We'll keep Adrien safe. Leave the remote control with us" Said Hope.
Nathalie gives Ladybug the remote control, before Ladybug knocks on the bathroom door as Nathalie and Nino leave Adrian's room
"Adrien? Adrien!" Declared Marinette.
Cat Noir enters the bathroom and hears her. He turns the shower on
"Eeee!" Exclaimed Ladybug, before she ducked behind the door. "Spying on a teenager while he's taking a shower? How scandalous, Ladybug. You should know better" Said Hope, standing on the other side of the doorframe. "He-hey! I'm not being some kind of..." Said Ladybug. "You're blushing" Said Hope. "Am not..." Said Ladybug.
Adrien pokes his head around the corner
"Yeah?" Asked Adrien. "Don't be wierd" Said Hope. "Hey! Ah, oh! Must... it-eh, to go! He he. Too dangerous... to leave!" Sputtered Ladybug. "Can I put on my clothes first?" Asked Adrien. "Sure! If you must... I-I mean, of course you can" Said Ladybug, before she shuts the bathroom door and sighs in relief.
Meanwhile, in Gabriel's atelier. Nathalie and Nino go to where Gabriel is.
"Where's my son?" Asked Gabriel. "He'll be here. He's with Ladybug and Hope" Said Nino. "I see" Said Gabrial.
Back in Adrien's room. Ladybug sees there is a picture of Mrs. Agreste on the computer and gasps. Adrian enters his bedroom with the towel around his neck
"My mother on her 17th birthday. She was pretty, huh?" Asked Adrien. "I don't know if you'd really want to hear me say your mom is pretty" Said Hope. "She's... got your eyes. Huh?" Asked Adrien and Ladybug.
The hypnotized people invade the mansion. Several of them go up the stairs of the mansion, and a few break off and attack the door of Adrien's room.
"I think we have an invading force" Said Hope, before Ladybug quickly moves Adrian to his bathroom. "Stay here!" Declared Ladybug, before she closes the bathroom door. "Oh my! What was that all about? Sweet love?" Asked Plagg, as he flew out of Adrien's Jacket
Adrien blushes then he shakes his head
"...Gotta help her! Plagg, claws out!" Asked Adrien. "Oh, not again!" Declared Plagg.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir
Meanwhile, in Gabriel's atelier, chaos
"Are they coming?" Asked Gabrial.
Nathalie tries to keep the door locked, but the hypnotized people knock it open and Simon Says enters
"Gotcha" Said Simon Says.
Meanwhile, Cat Noir arrives at the ceiling, but the hypnotized people are out to get him. Ladybug and Hope, in Adrien's room, is dodging them as Emily, as Kamen Rider Reborn, is fighting them and knocking them out. Everyone regroups in Gabriel's room, but sees nobody there. Cat Noir appears in the window and also sees the empty room with knocked-over paintings and the security terminal.
"Well, that's just great" Said Cat Noir
At TVi Studio, a new edition of The Challenge is being filmed and broardcasted.
"Welcome to another exciting hour of The Challenge! Good evening again from Simon Says. Viewers, I've kept my promise. Here's Gabriel!" Declared Simon Says.
Gabriel appears, the Gorilla accompanying him.
"Now, how should I start?... I know! Simon says... you are a butterfly!" Declared Simon Says, as he throws a butterfly card at Gabrial. "Flap flap, flutter flutter, flutter flutter, flap flap!" Declared Gabrial, as he starts flapping with his arms and jumping around.
On the bottom floor, Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily enter an elevator and press a button to go up to the top floor
"We've gotta save Mr. Agreste!" Declared Ladybug. "Yes, and I'm pretty sure one of his cards was akumatized" Said Emily. "But which one? There are so many of'em" Said Cat Noir. "Hum..." Said Hope. "Do you have an idea?" Asked Cat Noir. "Maybe. I'd need to get close to his deck of cards. Or for his deck of cards to stay still" Said Hope. "I'll get you close. Get in my arm" Said Emily. "Alright" Said Hope.
Hope ran his finger along Emily's Arm, opening a zipper created by the action leading to a dark void along her arm before stepping inside the zip and closing it, as the elevator reached its destination.
"Woah! What the heck was that!?" Asked Ladybug. "That was a portion of the abilities of Sticky Fingers, or at least a recreation. Sticky Fingers can make zippers on any surface it touches, and when opened, create a sort of dimensional gap in reality that he can hide in" Said Emily. "So what, is Hope inside you?" Asked Cat Noir. "No, Cat. He is not. And another question like that gets you neutered. Now come on, let's save Adrian's dad. And my boss" Said Emily.
Ladybug, Emily and Cat Noir enter the studio
"Ladybug, Cat Noir, Emily, you can save him by giving me your Miraculouses. Do the right thing..." Said Simon Says. "In your dreams. Lucky Charm!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug throws the yo-yo into the air and another yo-yo appears
"A regular yo-yo? But you've got a magical one!" Declared Cat Noir. "Never hurts to have a spare" Said Emily. "Well, I guess i'll figure it out later" Said Ladybug. "Simon says... your yo-yo is useless!" Declared Simon Says.
Simon Says throws a card at Ladybug, who blocks it with her yo-yo and it falls to the floor, the 'unbreakable' cord snapping. Simon throws more cards at her, but Cat Noir knocks his cards away from her, and Emily cuts them in half with the Stand Enforcer.
"Simon says... your weapons are..." Said Simon. "Useless? I don't think so. I'm not gonna let you get a word in edgewise!" Declared Cat Noir.
Emily converts the Stand Enforcer into rifle mode and reaches into the zipper on her arm, pulling out the Bastet Stand Tape before pressing the bottom of it into the top of the Stand Enforcer making it announce "Stardust Crusade, On Stage! Bastet, Opening Act!", before Emily fired at Simon Says, hitting him with a yellow waveform. Suddenly, metal items in the room start flying towards Simon Says and attacking to him, restraining his movements.
"Can't... Move..." Said Simon Says. "Of corse. It was my intention" Said Emily, before she walked over and took Simon's deck of cards, witch she threw to Cat Noir.
Cat Noir starts emptying the deck of cards onto the floor, but soon realises that the deck of cards is bottomless. Simon Says then reveals a pure black card in his hand.
"Um, Emily. He seems to be playing with more then a full deck" Said Cat Noir. "I also play with one up my sleeve. Simon says release me from my magnetic curse!" Declared Simon Says, before he tapped the black card against his wrist, making the metal items fell to the ground. "I guess that is the Akumatized card" Said Ladybug. "Yes it is! And instead of disposable, it's reusable. Let me prove it! Simon says... take off like an airplane!" Declared Simon Says.
Simon Says throws the Akumatized card at Gabrial and he starts acting like an airplane before he runs out the room, making airplane-noises
"He's headed for the roof. We got to stop him" Said Cat Noir. "No time. Simon Says is the priority. We stop him, we can fix the world witch includes Gabrial" Said Emily. "Then let's not waste another minute" Said Cat Noir. "And how will you defeat me without your powers! Simon Says there are no more heroes!" Declared Simon Says.
Simon Says throws the Akumatized Card, witch starts flying around the room as the heroes dodge it. Meanwhile, Gabriel exits up onto the roof and starts running around like an airplane, as Emily runs towards Simon Says. The Akumatized Card hits Emily in the back and flies through her, canceling her transformation and making her kneel in front of Simon Says, as he catches the Akumatized Card.
"Ha ha ha! Now, what should I do? Ah! I know! I'll make you Hawk Moth's Slave!" Declared Simon Says. "Sorry, but I can't let you do that to my friend" Said a voice. "... Who said that?" Asked Simon Says.
Simon Says notices the zipper on Emily's arm, witch is partly opened, and decides to get a closer look. Suddenly, a fist flys out of the open zipper and punches Simon Says in the face, knocking him back and stunning him. Hope opens the zipper fully and jumps out of it.
"Well well, Simon. It seems you've been caught in our trap. And for this trap..." Said Hope.
Hope pressed a button on the Stand Player, making it announce "Stand Seishin Rakurai! Sticky Fingers Arrivederci!"
"It has an very unfortunate ending for you" Said Hope.
Hope continuously punches Simon Says, making zippers appear all over his body before Hope stops, and the zippers on Simon Says unzip, making him fall to peices and drop the Akumatized Card. Hope then picks up and tosses the Akumatized Card to Ladybug, who catches it.
"What did you do to him!? Is he dead!?" Asked Ladybug, catching the Akumatized Card. "No. The damage I did to him was only skin deep. He'll be fine once you use your magical world resetting powers" Said Hope. "But, he's in literal peices" Said Cat Noir. "Yes, but it's not like I zippered his heart or lungs. It just looks that way" Said Hope. "Ok. I trust you" Said Ladybug.
Ladybug throws the Lucky Charm into the air and its energy de-hypnotizes the people. Gabriel gets dehypnotized right before he's about to jump of the TVi tower, he gulps and walks backwards. Ladybug's yo-yo is also fixed, and Simon Says is put back together.
"Oh, thank god. That could have been catastrophic..." Said Hope. "Woah, that was wierd..." Said Emily and Simon Says, as Ladybug tears the Akumatized Card in half. "My yo-yo! Alright, no more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly" Declared Ladybug, as she catches the akuma with her yo-yo and releases the de-evilized akuma.
Simon Says is turned back into Simon
"Pound it!" Declared Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily, as they fist-bumped.
The heroes go to the roof and see Gabriel.
"I'm afraid your flight's been canceled, sir" Said Cat Noir. "You?" Asked Gabriel. "All of us, I'm afraid" Said Hope. "Prefer Ladybug? Can't say I blame you" Said Cat Noir, as he puts his arm around Ladybug's shoulder. "Although, it was all of us who prevented flight G from leaving the Airport D'TVi" Said Emily. "Well, then I shall thank you all for preventing my demise. I believe my son would be quite happy knowing that his father is ok" Said Gabrial. "I think he is quite relieved that you are alive" Said Cat Noir.
Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses beep
"Cat Noir, your ring! You better get out of here" Declared Ladybug. "You both should. We'll take Gabrial home, you two should find a place to transform back" Said Hope. "Right. I guess we may see you again soon, Mr. Agreste. And you, m'lady" Said Cat Noir.
Cat Noir shakes hands with Gabriel, who looks at Cat Noir's ring, before he bows to Ladybug then he runs away. A week later, in Adrien's room. Adrien is looking at the pictures of his mother on his phone with Plagg sitting on Adrien's shirt while they are facing the window. Plagg hears the door opening so he hides in Adrien's button down shirt, before Gabriel comes and hugs Adrien. Adrien looks very surprised. Gabriel notices his ring
"I've... never noticed your ring before" Said Gabrial. "... Is that the only thing you've never noticed about me?" Asked Adrien. "... I'm glad everything worked out for the best" Said Gabrial.
When Gabriel leaves Adrien's room, Plagg appears on Adrien's shirt when he is concerned after Adrien and his father hugged each other. Meanwhile, in the Dupain-Cheng Home loungeroom, the T.V. is on and The Challenge is on the air again.
"Welcome back to everyone's #1 game show, The Challenge! Last week, our cool DJ friend Nino won the challenge. So, let's welcome him back again. Come on out, DJ Nino!" Declared Alec, as Nino enters the stage. "Looks like you weren't absent or late all week! Excellent news, Marinette. You can go join your friends on the set" Said Tom, to Marinette. "I think I'd rather watch with you guys. That's... if you and Mom'd like that?" Asked Marinette, as she hugs her parents. "So we upped the challenge for you tonight, Nino. You're gonna have to get two celebrities dancing instead of one! However, this time, you can choose your opponents" Said Alec, on the T.V. "Oh, I've got this one in the bag. I'm gonna pick two buds I know won't let me down. Ladybug and Cat Noir!" Declared Nino. "Uh... On second thought, I'm wiped. I'm gonna take a nap. Don't wanna be late for school tomorrow! And, you know, mess up that perfect school record! Tell me what happens, 'kay?" Asked Marinette, to her parents. "Sure" Said Tom. "Of course, honey" Said Sabine, before Marinette went to her room. "Sometimes I just can't figure that girl out" Said Tom. "Oh, give her a break. You know there's nothing more demanding than going to school!" Declared Sabine, before she and Tom hugged.
Ladybug goes to the roof, and swings her way to the studio.
