In Marinette's room, Marinette and Manon are playing with Marinette's Ladybug and Cat Noir dolls.
"Here I am, m'lady!" Declared Puppet Cat Noir. "Glad to see you, Cat Noir" Said Puppet Ladybug. "Of course you are! I'm the cat's meow!" Declared Puppet Cat Noir, as he meows and then giggles. "He shouldn't say that!" Declared Manon. "No?" Asked Marinette.
Manon frowns and shakes her head.
"This is no time to be goofing around, Cat Noir! We gotta capture the baddies' akumas before they..." Said Puppet Ladybug. "Actually, what do the baddies want?" Asked Marinette. "Uh... we wanna win!" Declared Manon. "Yeah, but win what?" Asked Marinette. "I don't know. What do they usually want?" Asked Manon. "Depends. Lady Wifi wanted to reveal Ladybug's true identity and Evillustrator wanted to get revenge on a girl for making fun of him! Then there was Rogercop. But the evil Hawk Moth, who makes them bad, wants to take Ladybug's and Cat Noir's jewels from them! Their Miraculouses" Said Marinette. "And what would happen if he did get them?" Asked Manon. "The bad guys... would win!" Said Marinette. "I know! I know what the bad guys want! We want the Miraculous! Then we'll win! Forever and ever! I'm gonna get your Miraculous, Ladybug and Cat Noir! You-you goody two-shoeses! You'll be super-duper sorry!" Declared Manon. "You won't get our Miraculouses!" Declared Marinette. "Oh yeah?" Asked Manon.
The dolls fight, and Marinette's dolls win
"Yay! Ladybug and Cat Noir have won again!" Declared Marinette. "No fair! You always win!" Shouted Manon, as she starts crying. "Ladybug and Cat Noir always win, and the bad guys always lose" Said Marinette. "But you never let me play with Ladybug and Cat Noir!" Cried Manon. "Oh, don't cry! Of course you can play with Ladybug and Cat Noir! I'll even let you borrow one of them if you want" Said Marinette.
Nadja comes up on the stairs.
"I'm back, Manon. Have you been a good girl?" Asked Nadja. "Mommy! Marinette didn't let me win! She didn't play fair and square!" Cried Manon
Manon hugs her mother and cries even more.
"Oh, Manon, you can't always expect to win" Said Nadja. "Yes, I can! Ladybug and Cat Noir always win!" Cried Manon. "Well, you're right there! But they're superheroes" Said Nadja. "You'll win next time, Manon!" Declared Marinette. "Alright, now give the doll back to Marinette" Said Nadja. "No! I wanna keep it!" Declared Manon. "She can if she wants. I told her she could borrow it" Said Marinette. "And that's sweet of you, Marinette, but Manon already has so many toys at home, I wouldn't even know where to put it" Said Nadja. "No! Huh?" Asked Manon, as Ladybug doll's arm breaks off due to her trying to take it back from Nadja. "Look what you've done, Manon! Give it to me. I'm sorry, Marinette" Said Nadja. "Oh, it's nothing, I can sew it up again! It's no problem, really" Said Marinette. "Oh, thank goodness! Come on, Manon, we're leaving. Say goodbye" Said Nadja. "I... want... that... DOLL!" Yelled Manon. "No, you can play with it here next time you come. Come on, Manon, be a good girl and say goodbye" Said Nadja as she picked up Manon who began to cry on her shoulder. "Goodbye" Wispered Manon.
Nadja carries Manon downstairs before her phone rings, so she places Manon down and answers the phone.
"Hi, Alec. Huh? Didn't I leave it for you on my desk at the station?" Asked Najda, as Manon runs back to the stairs. "Uh, I left my bag up there, mommy" Said Manon. "Ok sweetie, so quickly and get it... It's not there, huh?" Asked Nadja, first speaking to Manon, then Alec.
Meanwhile upstairs, Marinette opens her box of her DIY accessories. Tikki appears.
"I think our heroes are in need of a little TLC!"
Manon arrives back upstairs, causing Tikki to quickly hide
"Manon! What are you..." Said Marinette. "I left my bag here" Said Manon.
Manon goes into Marinette's backpack, opens it, gets the wand inside of it and looks at the Ladybug doll
"Can I have Ladybug?" Asked Manon. "You heard what your mom said" Said Marinette. "She wouldn't know if I hide it!" Declared Manon. "Sorry, but I have to sew her up" Said Marinette. "Pretty pleeeeease?" Asked Manon, with baby doll eyes. "Oh please, please not the baby doll eyes!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette looks at Tikki who shakes her head
"... Ugh. Okay, you can borrow Lady Wifi" Said Marinette. "Can I have the Ladybug doll?" Asked Manon. "Hold on Alec. Hurry up Manon! We have to stop by the station!" Declared Nadja. "Coming, mommy!" Declared Manon, as she walks downstairs and waves goodbye to Marinette. "Wow, she sure had you wrapped around her little finger!" Declared Tikki. "What!? No she didn- ugh. You know Tikki, I can't say no to those..." Said Marinette. "Baby doll eyes? Just be glad none of Ladybug's baddies have them! You'd be rendered powerless!" Declared Tikki.
Some time later, at the TVi studio. Manon plays with the Lady Wifi doll and a Ladybug magazine.
"Here I am, baddie! Haha! I've saved Paris again!" Declared Puppet Ladybug Magazine. "No! No fair! You always win!" Declared Puppet Lady Wifi. "I'm sorry, Alec. I thought I gave it to you. It must be in the studio" Said Nadja. "No sweat!" Declared Alec. "Can you just keep an eye on Manon for me, please? I won't be long" Said Nadja, to a receptionist.
Nadja looks over at Manon, and sees her playing with the Lady Wifi Doll before walking towards Manon.
"Where are you hiding... Ladybug?!" Declared Puppet Lady Wifi, before Nadja takes her out of Manon's hand. "Wha...? This is one of Marinette's dolls. You took it after I specifically told you not to!" Declared Nadja. "But, Marinette wanted me to have it!" Declared Manon. "You disobeyed me. I told you the dolls were to stay at her house. You won't be needing these anymore" Said Nadja. "NO! Mommy, please don't!" Shouted Manon. "I'm not happy about this. Wait for me here" Said Nadja.
Nadja walks away as Manon stands alone as she is frustrated as she sits back down. Nadja and Alec go in the elevator as the elevator closes. Manon has the wand.
"I didn't steal that doll! I want that Doll!" Screamed Manon.
Meanwhile, in Hawk Moth's lair, his window opens
"Ah, what could be more pure than an innocent child's emotions? Especially anger. I love it! Fly away, evil akuma, and commiserate with this frustrated child!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he turns a butterfly into an akuma and laughs as the akuma flies out of his lair.
Meanwhile, in the Subway. Alya and Marinette rush down the station to catch the train.
"The movie starts in thirty minutes. Or, we could buy your book first and go to the next showing" Said Marinette. "Either way girl... Marinette, nine 'o' clock!" Declared Alya. "No, there's no nine 'o' clock showing" Said Marinette. "Not that nine 'o' clock! This nine 'o' clock!" Declared Alya, as she points Marinette towards what she's looking at.
The train arrives and Adrien and Emily stays waiting till doors open.
"Adrien!" Declared Marinette. "Come on" Said Alya, as she drags Marinette and jumps into the train.
Back at TVi studio, the akuma flies in and infects Manon's wand.
"Puppeteer, I'm Hawk Moth. From now on, you can control anyone!" Declared Hawk Moth. "Even Ladybug and Cat Noir?" Asked Manon. "Yes... as long as you possess their dolls" Said Hawk Moth. "And I can win?" Asked Manon. "Yes, you will be able to win! But, in return, you have to get something for me!" Declared Hawk Moth. "Give you their Miraculouses! I know!" Declared Manon, as she transforms into the Puppeteer. "What a smart little girl you are" Said Hawk Moth.
A receptionist is working at the front desk when the Puppeteer floats up
"Wanna play a game?" Asked Puppeteer. "Heeelp!" Screamed the Receptionist, as she ran away. "I've got to get Ladybug and Cat Noir's dolls! I... want... those... dolls!" Screamed Puppeteer.
Puppeteer walks into the studio and finds the Lady Wifi doll.
"I'm sure I left it in here. Ugh. Where is it?! Ah. Here it is" Said Nadja.
Puppeteer takes the Lady Wifi doll from Nadja Chamack's purse
"Sorry, Alec. Here's the file you need" Said Nadja, as Puppeteer chuckles wickedly.
Meanwhile, on the Subway.
"I wonder what station he's getting off at. Oh, maybe he's going to the same movie! Oh! How cool would that be!? But wait! But then, he might think we're following him! Like stalkers! What? Me, a stalker? Hah! Although, I would follow him. You know, of course I wouldn't really stalk him! Oh...who am I kidding?!" Declared Marinette. "You know I thought you were classier than this, openly talking about stalking. You better not be talking about Emily" Said Hope, as he walked up to Alya and Marinette. Adrien and Emily notices the trio and waves at them, with Hope and Alya waving back at them.
"He's waving!" Declared Alya. "Oh no! Now what are we gonna do?" Asked Marinette. "Wave back" Said Hope, as he springs out Marinette's arm to wave at Adrian and Emily.
Back at the TV Station, the Puppeteer activates Lady Wifi.
"Okay, Lady Wifi, come to life!" Declared Puppeteer.
Meanwhile, on the Subway.
"What— what's going on!?" Screamed Alya, as she is transformed into Lady Wifi. "Alya!" Shouted Marinette, as Hope stood between Marinette and Lady Wifi. "How were you transformed? There's no way Alya was feeling any negative emotions, at least, surface wise" Said Hope. "Marinette! Give me those Ladybug and Cat Noir dolls!" Said Lady Wifi. "Lady Wifi?" Asked Marinette. "No! I'm Puppeteer! And I... want... those... dolls... now!" Screamed Lady Wifi. "Oh, well, this is new" Said Hope. "Puppeteer? The dolls? I don't-I don't have them. They're at home! Why…Why do you want them, Puppeteer?" Asked Marinette. "Because, you said I could have them! Then Mommy said no! So give 'em to me now! Or you'll be super duper sorry!" Declared Lady Wifi. "I've suddenly lost the plot" Said Hope. "Manon!" Declared Marinette, gasping in realization. "I want Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, to win! Forever and ever!" Declared Lady Wifi, as she exits the train while Marinette and Hope run after Lady Wifi. "Manon! This isn't a game!" Declared Marinette. "I'm afraid the person who has taken over Alya and transformed her into Lady Wifi may think it is. Hope. We have to chase her" Said Emily, walking off of the train behind Hope and Marinette. "Right. Let's change here" Said Hope, as he holds up a large katana before planting into the ground.
The large katana announces "Kinzokuken Seiren!" while Hope opens a Black Wonder Ride Book with orange specks labeled Seiken Tan'ya, making Seiken Tan'ya announce "Kono-pon fukuma rete imasu mesoddo no rekishi sakusei suru seikens". Hope then closed Seiken Tan'ya, and slotted it into a slot on the spine of the katana before folding it parallel to the blade, making it announce "Seiren! Danbō! Yakiire! Subete no arare seiken no ōsama! Zen'nō no ken o kitaeru, tsukisasu tengoku to jigoku!", as Hope became covered in black armor with orange details (Cross-Z Magma's undersuit and chest peice, Cross-Z Charge's Arms and Legs, Blade's Helmet and Shoulders).
Meanwhile, Emily extended her arm, and a giant pink zweihelder appeared in it, witch announced "Hōsekiken Kōtaku!". Emily then planted the Hōsekiken Kōtaku into the ground and held up a Rose Pink Twin Wonder Ride Book labelled Kakumei-tekina Hōseki, Steven of the Universe and opened it, making Kakumei-tekina Hōseki, Steven of the Universe announce "Korera no hōseki to otokonoko atarashī o tassei shimashita heiwa no jidai uchū zentai!". Emily then closed Kakumei-tekina Hōseki, Steven of the Universe, and lifted up the Hōsekiken Kōtaku onto her shoulder before she slammed it into the blade and swung the Hōsekiken Kōtaku in front of her while pulling its trigger, splitting the Kakumei-tekina Hōseki, Steven of the Universe into two separate Wonder Rider books via pulling and twisting them apart while making the Hōsekiken Kōtaku announce "Junbi? Iku! Teru! Kagayaku! Two Crystal Gems! Migoto ni hōsha! Hōsekiken Kōtaku! Soshite ima, ni hōseki ga yūgo suru tsukuru hon seiken to teru kagayakashī kagayaki!", as Emily became covered in rose pink armor with brown details (Kamen Rider Buster, with its armor having more of a rocky texture)
Meanwhile, Adrien enters the driver's room of the train
"Excuse me sir, there's a...uh...cat loose on the train!" Declared Adrian. "What? Thanks kiddo" Said the Train Manager as he runs off as Plagg comes out. "Cat?!" Asked Plagg, annoyed. "Plagg! We have to transform" Said Adrian. "Just when we'd shaken off your bodyguard" Said Plagg, disappointed. "Plagg, claws out!" Declared Adrian. "What about the movie? And the buttery popcorn?" Asked Plagg.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir
Hope and Emily run off after Lady Wifi, as Marinette looks around.
"Tikki, I have to find a place to transform" Said Marinette, before she feels a hand on her back and turns around to see Cat Noir. "Hey, that was Lady Wifi. Did that villain say anything to you?" Asked Cat Noir. "Uh, I'm not sure, but her voice belonged to a little girl I babysit. It's as if she was controlling my friend Alya, I mean, Lady Wifi from a distance. This is so weird" Said Marinette. "And what was this talk about dolls?" Asked Cat Noir. "I've got some dolls she likes to play with" Said Marinette. "Your dolls? Okay, where do you live?" Asked Cat Noir. "12 Rue Gotlib" Said Marinette. "Ok, I'll take care of it!" Declared Cat Noir, before he runs off. "I don't like the idea of Cat Noir rummaging around my room. Or anyone rummaging through my room, honestly" Said Marinette. "Just say the words" Said Tikki. "Ok. Tikki, Spots on! Ha!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug
Ladybug swings to the bakery to meet Cat Noir, Hope and Emily.
"Hey kitty and his cats, up here!" Declared Ladybug, before Hope, Emily and Cat Noir join Ladybug on the roof.
Meanwhile, inside Marinette's room, Lady Wifi loads the dolls into a bag before Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hope and Emily enter the room via the window.
"Puppeteer! Such a shame, it's really not nice to steal from your babysitter" Said Ladybug. "Breaking and entering are grounds for a serious time-out" Said Cat Noir. "You should definitely know before you get there, but there is no dolly play time in prison" Said Hope. "We don't send akumatization victims to prison" Said Emily. "I'm trying to be threatening" Said Hope. "Soon I'll get your Miraculouses, you goody two-shoeses!" Declared Lady Wifi. ""There's only one good two-shoes around here and I'm not her!" Declared Cat Noir. "Freeze!" Declared Lady Wifi.
Lady Wifi throws pause signs at the heroes, but Hope steps forward and cuts through each sign with the Kinzokuken Seiren, leaving no trace of them as they break up with a static effect.
"Oooohhhh! That is so not fair!" Declared Lady Wifi. "How did you do that!? Those used to pause people on contact" Said Ladybug. "Ladybug, meet the Holy Sword of Iron, Seiren. I forged this with the current guardian of Wonder World alongside it's corresponding Wonder Ride Book when I was on a creative binge a few days ago. As we learned during the first Lady Wifi case, metal is the hardest material to penetrate with a wifi signal. So, wouldn't the opposite be true? That a wifi signal would be the easiest thing to pierce with metal?" Asked Hope.
Lady Wifi throws more pause signs at the heroes, witch Hope continues to cut through with the Kinzokuken Seiren. Emily, Cat Noir and Ladybug then run out from behind Hope and hid behind a couch, before a pause sign hits a poster of Adrien, making Ladybug panics and blushes. "Hey, Cat Noir! Do you have an idea for how we can stop this onslaught?" Asked Emily. "I do. Take out the wi-fi signal!" Declared Cat Noir, as he exits through the window.
Cat Noir climbs up to the top. Ladybug jumps over the couch and grabs her Ladybug doll, but Lady Wifi pauses her. Emily and Hope go to retaliate but Lady Wifi puts Ladybug between herself and their swords, causing them to stop their swings and get paused as a result.
"Nice move, Puppeteer, good girl! Now - take her Miraculous! And then their swords!" Declared Hawkmoth.
Cat Noir uses Cataclysm on the cell tower. Lady Wifi goes to get Ladybug's Miraculous, but the pause button disappears on her, Emily and Hope. Ladybug grabs Lady Wifi's phone, and both Emily and Hope slash Lady Wifi diagonally, knocking her across the room.
"Looks like you've just lost your signal, Wifi!" Declared Ladybug, before she smashes the phone, but no Akuma comes out. "Ah, Ladybug... Where's the akuma?" Asked Emily. "... Do you think it's shy?" Asked Hope. "I want those dolls, Lady Wifi!" Declared Puppeteer, from the KIDZ TV Studio.
Lady Wifi throws a couch at Ladybug and disappears outside, as Cat Noir enters.
"Did you capture her akuma?" Asked Cat Noir. "She didn't have one!" Declared Ladybug. "How's that possible?" Asked Cat Noir. "She's controlled by Puppeteer! She must have the akuma" Said Ladybug. "Ok, so how many potential puppets does Puppeteer have now?" Asked Hope. "Four. She already has Lady Wifi, and she managed to take Rogercop, The Evilustrator and Cat Noir's dolls. I only managed to save myself" Said Ladybug, showing the group the Ladybug Doll. "Ok. Then I think we should get prepared. Cat Noir, you need to detransform, correct?" Asked Hope. "Yes I do, why?" Asked Cat Noir. "Because I think you'll also be needing a costume change. Come downstairs" Said Hope, as he detransformed.
Hope and Cat Noir walked downstairs, before Ladybug calls Nadja on her yoyo
"Yes? What? Ladybug!?" Asked Nadja. "Where are you?" Asked Ladybug. "At the TV station" Said Nadja. "Is your daughter with you?" Asked Ladybug. "Yes! She's playing downstairs! Why? Is everything okay, Ladybug?" Asked Nadja. "Yes! Just don't move. I'll be right there!" Declared Ladybug.
Meanwhile, at the TV studio.
"I'm gonna use these dolls to beat Ladybug fair and square!" Declared Puppeteer.
Meanwhile, in Marinette's Home's Bathroom, Plagg is eating cheese as Hope and Adrien talks on opposite sides of the door.
"Cat, you've been compromised, so to speek. You can't go into the next fight as Cat Noir or you'll be at risk of being controlled" Said Hope. "I understand that, but I don't really have that much of an option" Said Adrian. "I know, so I think I've got a way for Cat Noir to be in the field, but not as Cat Noir" Said Hope
Hope opens the bathroom door slightly, and plants the Kinzokuken Seiren on the floor inside, and balances Seiken Tan'ya on the hilt of the Kinzokuken Seiren.
"I trust that the mighty Cat Noir can make a creative superhero name on his own" Said Hope.
Hope closes the bathroom door, before Adrian picks up Seiken Tan'ya and the Kinzokuken Seiren.
"He does raise a good point, Adrien. If you're not Cat Noir, then you shouldn't be able to be controlled by Puppeteer" Said Plagg. "Oh please, you just want a chance at a day off. But he does have a point... Ok. Let's do it" Said Adrien.
Adrien slotted Seiken Tan'ya into a slot on the spine of the katana before folding it parallel to the blade, transforming just like Hope had. Adrian then exited the bathroom.
"Good. Now, we're gonna have to think of a name. Just remember, I'm also gonna have to use that name so we better agree on it" Said Hope. "Ah, Sword?" Asked Adrian. "Kamen Rider Sword? No. Absolutely not. But, you kinda are in the right mindset. Most of the Seiken riders names are based on swords, or books" Said Hope. "So then, what is taken?" Asked Adrian. "Well, we can't use Saber, Blades, Esparda, Buster, Kenzan, Slash, Caliber, Falchion, Saikou, Sabela, Durendal, Solomon, Storious or Tassel, and as for my own Seikens, we can't use Rust, Odyssey or War Roses" Said Hope. "Ok. What about Estoc?" Asked Adrian. "Estoc? No, it's a bit too short for my tastes" Said Hope. "What about Épée De Fer?" Asked Adrian. "French for Iron Sword? Bit on the nose, but it's perfect! Kamen Rider Épéedefer. Let's move" Said Hope.
Sometime later, at the TVi studio lobby. Ladybug, Kamen Rider Épéedefer, Emily and Hope, now transformed as Kamen Rider Stand Tusk ACT1 Form, enter the building where Nadja and a few others are waiting for them.
"She's still here in the building! We need you all outside!" Declared Ladybug. "Come on! Se presser! Se presser!" Declared Hope, as people evacuated the TVi studio lobby. "No! I want to find my daughter!" Declared Nadja. "Madame, we will find you daughter. We promise it" Said Épéedefer. "Ok. Thank you, Hope" Said Nadja. "Oh, no. Over here. That's Cat Noir, technically" Said Hope. "Yeah, it's kinda confusing to me as well" Said Épéedefer. "Well, thanks anyway" Said Nadja, before she left. "Ok, let's split up and search for the Puppeteer. Don't attack her head on, just call in" Said Ladybug.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the TV studio, Puppeteer starts to bring her puppets to life.
"Evillustrator! Come to life!" Declared Puppeteer.
At the Louvre, Nathaniel transforms into Evillustrator
"Rogercop! Come to life!" Declared Puppeteer
On a street corner, officer Roger transforms into Rogercop. Meanwhile, Ladybug answers a call on her yo-yo just outside of the TV Studio.
"Have you located her?" Asked Emily. "Inside the KIDZ+ TV building. How close are you?" Asked Ladybug. "We're all in the elevator. Arriving... now" Said Emily as the elevator opens behind Ladybug and she, Hope and Épéedefer step off of the elevator. "Ok. Shall we enter the studio?" Asked Épéedefer. "Post-hastily" Said Hope. "Ok. On three, One... two... three!" Declared Ladybug.
The heros bursts through the door as Puppeteer activates the final puppet.
"Cat Noir! Come to Life!" Declared Puppeteer. "No!" Declared Épéedefer
Puppeteer's wave hits the Cat Noir puppet, and the puppet lands on the ground
"Épéedefer? Are you ok?" Asked Ladybug. "Well... If i was Cat Noir, I'd say I was Purr-fect!" Declared Épéedefer. "What!? Why is Cat Noir not under my control!?" Asked Puppeteer. "Simple. Unlike with Lady Wifi and the other two dolls you had her steal, Cat Noir's transformation isn't an akumatization. Now, while it's reasonable to assume that you can force a transformation onto Lady Wifi, what isn't is forcing one onto Cat Noir who transforms using a Miraculouses" Said Hope. "Huh!? I don't get it!" Yelled Puppeteer. "Oh, um..." Said Hope. "You know how you were Manon before, but are now Puppeteer?" Asked Ladybug. "Yes..." Said Puppeteer. "It is like if instead of becoming Puppeteer, you became a different villain" Said Ladybug. "Oh. I get it now!" Declared Puppeteer.
Suddenly, Épéedefer blocked a giant sawblade that came from behind the heroes, as the Evilustrator ran past the heroes and stood next to Puppeteer. Meanwhile, Emily slammed the Hōsekiken Kōtaku into the ground causing a pair of entwined pink crystal pillars to block a pair of lasers shot out by Rogercop at Ladybug, before Rogercop also joined Puppeteer and her puppets.
"Oh? I guess it's four on four now" Said Épéedefer. "I've managed to level the playing field, Ladybug. Now, my puppets! Seize the Miraculouses!" Declared Puppeteer and Hawk Moth. "This won't stop us!" Declared Ladybug. "Couldn't have put it better myself. Everyone knows their targets now, right?" Asked Hope. "Right" Said Emily. "Right" Said Épéedefer. "Umhum" Said Ladybug. "Alright. Ladybug, on your call" Said Hope. "Three. Two. One!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug, Épéedefer, Hope and Emily clashed in the centre of the room with Puppeteer, Lady Wifi, Evilustrator and Rogercop, respectively, before Épéedefer, Hope and Emily dragged Lady Wifi, Evilustrator and Rogercop off to other parts of the studio.
In the Hallways, Épéedefer and Lady Wifi continued their fight. Lady Wifi broke free of Épéedefer's hold while knocking him back and fires a few pause icons at Épéedefer, witch he slashes through with the Kinzokuken Seiren. Lady Wifi then places a fast forward icon on herself and ran around Épéedefer at high speeds. Épéedefer holds the Kinzokuken Seiren in front of himself and pushes down on Seiken Tan'ya, making the Kinzokuken Seiren announce "Aru koroshi-kata! Handan Kizu!"
Meanwhile, in the Lobby, Emily swings the Hōsekiken Kōtaku at Rogercop as he dodges backward. Rogercop jumps into the air as his car attempts to hit her from behind but Emily quickly turns and cleaves it in half, with the sides cut by the Hōsekiken Kōtaku covered in a pink crystal. Emily then recombined the two halves of Kakumei-tekina Hōseki, Steven of the Universe before pulling the trigger again, making the Hōsekiken Kōtaku announce "Kagayakashī Kakumei-tekina Hōseki! Ranmantaru Steven of the Universe!"
Meanwhile, in an Office Complex, Hope slides behind a cubicle to avoid a spiked ball thrown by Evilustrator. Hope peaks out from behind the cubicle and fires two finger bullets from his hands, witch Evilustrator dodged before shooting a saw blade at Hope's arm witch he narrowly avoids. Hope then removes the Tusk Stand Tape from the Stand Player, before placing the Stone Free Stand Tape in the Stand Player and quickly transforming into Kamen Rider Stand Stone Free Form. Evilustrator throws another saw blade at Hope's cover, witch it cuts in half as Hope jumps out from behind it and binds Evillustrator's hand using string before he presses a button on the front of the Stand Player, making it announce "Sendo! The Bando ensō sai!"
Back in the hallways, the Kinzokuken Seiren announced "The cut sits deep...", as Épéedefer quickly slices horizontally, causing a chain of explosions that hit Lady Wifi, knocking her back and changing her back into Alya.
Meanwhile, in the lobby, the Hōsekiken Kōtaku announced "Futago Kagayaki! Kanpeki Kiridasu!" as Emily slices upwards diagonally twice, trapping Rogercop between two diagonal pillars of pink crystals before Emily slashed at the trapped Rogercop sending a wave of crystals at him destroying them two pillars and changing Rogercop back into Roger.
Meanwhile, in the office complex, the Stand Player announced "Stone Free Overdrive!", as Hope pulled Evilustrator towards himself as he delivered a Flying Kick to Evilustrator, knocking him back down to the ground and changing Evilustrator back to Nathaniel.
Épéedefer, Emily and Hope return to the studio, as Ladybug releases the akuma, turning it into a normal butterfly.
"Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug throws a red and black pair of scissors into the air and fixes everything. The Puppeteer is turned back into Manon.
"Oh. I thought you had already done that. Evilustrator changed back when I hit him with the Overdrive, so I guess you had taken Puppeteer down" Said Hope. "No. I guess I had destroyed the dolls at that time" Said Ladybug. "Guess it makes sense. We're going to have to do a lot of escorting people back home..." Said Emily. "I'm also going to need the Kinzokuken Seiren back, Épée de Noir" Said Hope. "Let's do that right now" Said Épéedefer, before he and Hope walked away. "No! This cannot be happening!" Declared Hawk Moth, as he grunts in disappointment as the window closes. "Manon! Thank you Ladybug! Thank you" Said Nadja, as Manon sees her and hugs her. "You know, for once I find it ok to be left out" Said Cat Noir, as he and Hope returned. "Is it nice to be back in black?" Asked Emily. "Well, this suit is looser but I will miss the cool sword" Said Cat Noir. "Well, it's time I bug out" Said Ladybug. "Ok. We'll do clean up then. I'll take Roger home, Emily..." Said Hope. "I'll take Alya. Cat can take Nathaniel" Said Emily. "Alright. Pound it" Said Cat Noir. "Pound it!" Declared Emily, Hope and Ladybug, as they all fist bump.
Some time later, in Marinette's room.
"I'm sorry about what happened last time, Mrs. Chamack. I shouldn't have given her the doll after you told her no" Said Marinette. "Manon can be pretty persuasive sometimes" Said Nadja. "Yeah, with her..." Said Marinette. "Baby doll eyes? Yes, I know. See you later then. Kiss, Manon" Said Nadja. "Bye mommy!" Declared Manon, before she gives her mother a kiss "See you later, Mrs. Chamack" Said Marinette. "Buh-bye" Said Nadja, as she left. "I wanna play with Ladybug and Cat Noir" Said Manon.
Marinette looks at the dolls, before coming up with a different thing to do.
"I have a better idea. Why don't we go to the zoo today?" Asked Marinette. "But I wanna play with the dolls! Pretty please!" Declared Manon. "Don't even try it, Manon" Said Marinette. "I love the zoo! I'm ready!" Declared Manon, giggling.
They run outside, off to the zoo
