Chapter 6, let's go!

The team flies out of the portal as it closes.

Ladybug: Why the heck would you let CHLOE run the portal!?

Apidae: Well, who else can I get on short notice who will do whatever I say without an explanation?

Hiro: Ok, everyone look out for an island.

Apidae: Specifically, an island with two bratty teenagers on it who need a serious...!

Hiro: Yes, thank you, Apidae.

Wasabi: Uh, can we go take a break from flying? I saw a snack bar over there, and I really don't like flying.

Ladybug: Not yet, Wasabi. We have to keep looking for Stardust.

Wasabi: I'm just saying, we're about to fly over the ocean, and, who knows when we'll get back?

Cat Noir: Apidae, how many stripes left?

Apidae: It just beeped for the second time, three stripes.

Cat Noir: (nervously) Ok, three minutes to find an island that no one's seen before. No pressure.

Fred: I think I see it!

Gogo: Fred, that's a rock.

Honey Lemon: Actually, wait, it is an island, with a cave, look!

Hiro: But is it Stardust?

Ladybug: I don't know how to tell. It just looks like a normal island to me, but that cave would make for a great hideout for villains. Maybe it's worth looking into.

Apidae: Can't...do this...much...longer. (transforms back, Peeka tumbles from her comb, Cat Noir catches her)

Peeka: Whew! Thanks kitty!

Cat Noir: No problem! Well, except for the blood rushing to my brain now that we're dangling from a yo-yo.

Butterfly: Isn't she the girl from the news?

Avery: What!? Um, no! You must be mistaken!

Cat Noir: Stop moving around!

Avery: Sorry.

The yo-yo loosens, Avery, Cat Noir, and Peeka plunge into the ocean.

Ladybug: Cat Noir! Apidae!

Cat Noir surfaces.

Cat Noir: (coughs) I hate getting wet. Apidae? Apidae?

Avery struggles to swim underwater, Cat Noir pulls her up.

Avery: (gasps for breath) I can't see, can't breathe, can't swim!

Cat Noir: It's ok, you're ok.

Avery: (starts sinking)

Cat Noir: Whoa! (pulls her back up)

Avery: (starts sinking again)

Cat Noir: (pulls her up, grabs onto her) You really can't swim?

Avery: My mom hates swimming, but she wanted me to learn how in case of an emergency, so she signed me up for swim class at a local college. I was fine until the time came for us to take off our life jackets. The second I unhooked it, I sank like a rock. Then at the next class when they asked us to take off our life jackets again I climbed out of the pool and escaped into the locker room. Don't let go of me until we get out of here, ok?

Cat Noir: It's alright, you won't sink, I've got you.

Avery: Talk about a crazy day, Peeka. Wait, where's Peeka? (looks into the water) Oh no.

Cat Noir: I'll go get her. Ladybug, pull Avery up.

Avery: No, this is my fault, Peeka is drowning because of my stupid idea, I have to save her.

Cat Noir: But you just said you can't swim.

Avery: I know, wish me luck. (dives underwater)

Cat Noir dives after her. Avery opens her eyes and freaks out. She sees Peeka descending about a foot below her. Avery flips herself over and reaches for Peeka. She grabs her and stuffs her in her pocket. Cat Noir grabs Avery's wrist and pulls her to the surface.

Avery: (coughs) I hope I never have to do THAT again! Peeka, are you ok?

Peeka: Well, I'm freezing, terrified, starving, and out of breath, but other than that, I'm good.

Avery: That makes two of us.

Cat Noir: Um, three of us, I had to save both of you.

Avery: Maybe we should go take a break.

Wasabi: Hey, I'm all for that!

Ladybug: Ok, I'm lowering the yo-yo, tie yourselves to it and hang on. (lowers yo-yo)

Back on land, the team is sitting at the snack bar.

Butterfly: So, Avery's not actually crazy?

Ladybug: No, maybe a little, no offense, but the girl who said all that stuff is actually the enemy we're trying to capture. It was all a cover-up so she and her cousin could run away from home to join some secret organization while everyone was distracted.

Paon: Wow, remind me not to get on her bad side!

Cashier: Uh, what's with the costumes?

Hiro: We're...shooting a movie! Right guys?

Fred: Yeah, we're here on break!

Cashier: In costume?

Volpina: There's no point in changing, we only have ten minutes before the next scene, then we need to get back on set!

Cashier: Oh. What movie is it?

Gogo: Yes Hiro, what movie is it?

Hiro: Oh! Yeah! It's called...Big Hero Miraculous!

Cashier: That's a weird title.

Ladybug: That's because it's based off of a Japanese superhero movie, and they're making an English version with the script translated!

Cashier: Ah, I see, I guess I'll see you in the movies! (exits)

Ladybug: Whew! He bought it!

Avery: Good thing he didn't recognize me.

Cashier: Wait, is that...?

Avery: No, I'm not the crazy girl from the news. Why does everyone ask me that?

Cashier: Sorry. Hey, I know you guys are probably really busy, but do you think you could perform a scene?

Hiro: ...Sure? I mean, sure! Actually, it's a musical, right guys?

Gogo: A musical!? Are you...I mean, yes, it is.

Hiro: Come on everyone, 1, 2, 3, 4!

Hiro, Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Avery all start singing at once.

Hiro: We could be immortals! Immortals!

Ladybug: Miraculous! Simply the best! Up to the test when things go wrong!

Cat Noir: The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet!

Avery: So don't give up now! Everything's alright!

Hiro: It's supposed to sound awful.

Cashier: Ok, I'd better go. (exits)

Gogo: Let's get out of here before he comes back.

Avery: I just need to pick up some food for Peeka. (takes bag of chips, leaves money) These should do. We take flight in a few minutes.

Hiro: Avery, you can't use your wings again.

Avery: We know where the island is, and this time, I won't freak out and make the yo-yo string loosen. As long as I'm tied to Baymax and we go really fast, we should have no problem getting to the island.

In San Fransokyo, Chloe is sitting at a desk, talking to Sabrina over the phone.

Chloe: I told you, I can't work on the project, I'm very busy today!

Sabrina: You know, I'm really starting to get sick of that excuse. We seriously need you for this, if you don't participate, we won't get full credit!

Chloe: Tomorrow, ok?

Cass: Tadashi? Hiro?

Chloe: Gotta go, Sabrina! (hangs up, hides under the desk)

Cass: (enters) Boys? Are you in here? Huh. They must be at school.

Chloe sneezes.

Cass: What was that?

Mochi walks past Chloe

Chloe: (whispering) Get out of here!

Cass: Hiro? If that's you, this isn't funny.

Mochi walks up to Cass

Cass: Oh, Mochi, it's just you. I think I'm losing it. (exits)

Chloe: That was close. Thanks alot, Mochi. Apparently I'm allergic to cats. I guess that explains why Avery got sick when she came here. Speaking of which, what is she up to? (calls)

Avery: Hang on, Chloe. (answers) Hello?

Chloe: Hey Avery, guess what? Hiro recruited me to watch his garage while he goes on a secret mission with a bunch of superheroes, including Ladybug!

Avery: Wow, that's so cool!

Chloe: Oh, and also, I just wanted to make sure you were ok. I saw that report.

Avery: Chloe, I hope you know that Jewel isn't my friend, and is actually a filthy liar.

Chloe: Oh, I knew that. I meant about you running away. Where are you, anyway?

Avery: Somewhere no one will ever find me. Nice try, but I'm not letting you tell mom where I am. I'm finally free from my old miserable life. There's no way I'm going back to it.

Chloe: Ok, but if anything goes wrong, just know that I'm here for you.

Avery: Thanks, bye. (hangs up)

Ladybug: I can't believe I'm saying this, but don't give her a hard time. She's just looking out for you.

Avery: I know, it's just, I don't belong in my hometown. You and all my other friends who are right here right now, you understand me in a way no one else does, you make me feel normal, like I fit in. I really do miss my family, but I've come to know all of you as a family too, one that can rescue me from my everyday life, from my classmates, from myself.

Ladybug hugs her.

Ladybug: We'll figure this out later. Are you ready to go?

Avery: (nods) Peeka, Stripes On!

Track 05: Stripes On

Avery transforms into Apidae

Apidae: Ok, let's go!

Four minutes later, the team lands on Stardust Island.

Honey Lemon: I hope this is the right place.

Hiro: It has to be. Baymax didn't recognize it, and it has a huge cave. I guess we should start looking in there.

Apidae: Ok, lets go. I won't be able to transform again for a while, so use your powers wisely.

After the team enters the cave, a huge boulder blocks the entrance.

Volpina: What was that noise?

Ladybug: We're caved in, literally! Baymax, can you push it out of the way?

Baymax tries to move the rock, but nothing happens.

Ladybug: Great. We're trapped, and we don't even have a flashlight.

Cat Noir: I have night vision, remember? Ok, up ahead, turn left.

Wasabi: How far up... (bumps into wall) Got it. (turns left)

Cat Noir: Ok, now turn right.

Avery: I can't even tell if I'm transformed anymore.

Peeka: You're not.

Avery: Ahh! Don't scare me like that!

Paon: Any more turns up ahead?

Cat Noir: I've got some bad news. Three paths.

Ladybug: Maybe they all lead to the same place.

Hiro: We should split up. Get with your training groups. Team Paon, take the left, Team Volpina, take the right, and Team Butterfly will take the center.

Gogo: How are we supposed to see?

Butterfly: Look, all three of them are straight tunnels with light at the other end. This is way too easy.

Honey Lemon: Let's go anyway. Even if the villains aren't at the end of the tunnels, at least we might be able to find an exit

Tadashi: Honey's right. Let's just get out of here.

Honey Lemon: See you on the other side. (smiles)

Ladybug: (whispering) Does she...? Does he...?

Hiro: (whispering) Probably. I've suspected it for a while now, even before the fire happened.

Ladybug: (whispering) That is so cool! Oh my gosh, I ship it!

Team Butterfly is walking through the middle tunnel.

Butterfly: I still think this is too easy.

Hiro: Yeah, I know what you mean. You'd think that a secret organization of teen angst would be harder to get to.

Cat Noir: Is it just me, or is it really cold in here?

Honey Lemon: (shivers) Nope, it's cold.

Baymax: Your body temperatures are: low, and long amounts of time in this temperature could result in illness, some cases being very severe.

Hiro: No worries, we're almost there.

Cat Noir: I...I don't feel so good.

Honey Lemon: What's wrong?

Cat Noir: I can't...can't. (falls on knees, transforms back into Adrien)

Butterfly: I'll go get help, try and get him to the end of the tunnel. (exits)

Hiro helps Adrien up, they continue to walk towards the end of the tunnel.

Hiro: I don't like this, something weird is going on.

Adrien: I d-don't get it. I-It's like the t-tunnel forced me out of my trans...transformation. I c-couldn't control it.

Honey Lemon: Take it easy, you'll be ok.

Hiro: Plagg, do you know what happened?

Plagg: (cough) This tunnel is coated with Kwami poison, it forces a Miraculous holder out of their transformation and makes the Kwami sick.

Hiro: Ok, we should get out of here.

A boulder blocks the entrance to the tunnel.

Hiro: Unbelievable. I just hope the others are ok, this whole place could be a trap!

Team Volpina is walking through the right tunnel. Fred and Avery are singing while Volpina plays along with her flute.

Both: Four intrepid friends. Led by Fred!

Fred: Their leader, Fred!

Both: Fred's angels! Mmm mmm mmm! Fred's angels! Mmm mmm mmm!

Avery: Harnessing the power of the sun with the ancient amulet they found in the attic!

Both: Mmm mmm mmm! The amulet is green! Mmm mmm mmm! It's probably an emerald!

Wasabi: I am about to laser-hand all three of you in the face.

Butterfly: Guys! Get out of there! It's a trap!

Volpina runs out just before the third boulder falls.

Avery: We're trapped. Well, now what?

Peeka: Ugh, this feels worse than the time that gross warrior sat on me. Definitely seen better days.

Avery: Peeka, what's going on?

Peeka: I don't know, but whatever's happening is not normal.

Team Paon is walking through the left tunnel.

Ladybug: Why is it so freezing in here?

Tadashi: I'm not sure, but we should get to the end of this tunnel, the others are probably waiting for us.

Volpina: It's a trap! Turn back!

Paon: A trap? (runs out, the fourth boulder falls)

Ladybug: No! Cat Noir! Apidae!

Tadashi: Hiro! Honey! Baymax!

Gogo: Wasabi! Fred!

Ladybug: Agh! (falls on knees) Wha-What's happening to me? (transforms back into Marinette)

Tadashi: What's going on?

Marinette: I just transformed back, I couldn't control it, it just happened!

Gogo: I say we keep going, there has to be answers somewhere.

Tikki: I know exactly what's happening: Kwami poison.

Marinette: Oh no, what are we supposed to do? Master Fu isn't here to heal you, and we're trapped!

Tadashi: Keep her warm, we're almost at the end of the tunnel. We'll figure out how to help you once we get out of this death trap.

Gogo: Luckily, I've got wheels! Grab my hands!

Gogo pulls Marinette and Tadashi to the end of the tunnel. Back to Team Butterfly.

Hiro: Baymax, what do you know about Kwami?

Baymax: Kwami. Magical pixie-like creature appearing in several children's stories. It is said that these Kwami first appeared in literature when rumors of these small mythical beings appearing after great battles arose. Some believed the Kwami came out of hiding to heal the wounded soldiers. Others say that the Kwami actually helped in battle. However, there is no real proof that they exist, or previously existed, for no fossilized Kwami have ever been found.

Plagg: That's because we're immortal, unless we're poisoned.

Hiro: Is there anything else? Kwami care? Healing? How to get out of a scary freezer cave?

Baymax: There are no online sources for Kwami care, healing, or escaping from scary freezer caves, as we are the only ones actually aware of heir existence, and this is the first time anyone has been trapped in a poison-laced cave and lived to tell about it.

Hiro: (sarcastically) Well, that puts me at ease. Don't worry, we're almost out. Hopefully Plagg will return to normal once we get out of here, and we'll all feel better when we aren't freezing.

Honey Lemon: Yep, this nightmare's almost over.

They enter a freezing cold room at the end of he tunnel.

Plagg: Is this what over looks like?

Adrien: Ladybug? Ladybug? (gasps, sees Marinette, Tikki, Tadashi, and Gogo frozen in a block of ice) No! Marinette!? Can you hear me!?

Hiro: Don't worry, we'll get you out of there!

Honey Lemon: Uh, I think we're next.

Adrien: What do you mean "next?"

Walls start to close in on them in the shape of a cube. A hose of water starts to fill the cube, freezing to ice immediately.

Hiro: I can't feel my feet.

Adrien: Baymax, quick, heat this place up!

Baymax: My heating function is: inoperable.

Plagg: Of course it is, we're about to freeze!

Honey Lemon: If my purse wasn't frozen right now I would try one of my chem bombs.

Team Volpina enters the freezing room.

Avery: What is this place?

Hiro: Avery! Help!

Avery: Where are you?

Plagg: How about the gigantic box with the hose in it?

Honey Lemon: We're about to freeze!

Avery: Guys, we've gotta destroy that hose!

Adrien: No, don't worry about us, save yourselves! The second we're done freezing, it's your turn!

Honey Lemon: He's right, turn back!

The walls of the cube collapse, revealing the second ice cube cell.

Fred: What do we do now? We can't just leave them here!

The walls of the third cube rise around them.

Wasabi: Why do I feel like a popsicle all of a sudden?

Avery: Oh man, what do we do?

Fred: Why are you asking me?

Avery: You're the leader here!

Fred: No I'm not, that's just the song!

Avery: Then your song is full of lies!

Wasabi: Guys! Let's focus on getting out of here!

Both: How?

Wasabi: How about you use your fire to melt the ice?

Fred: The mouth on my costume is coated in ice!

Peeka: What's going on? I thought this was an exit!

Avery: It's not, this entire cave is a trap, and I know Jewel had something to do with it!

Later, Jewel and Chris enter the freezing room.

Jewel: Well, look at what we have here? Chris, make sure all seven Miraculouses are here.

Chris: Uh, I have some good news, bad news, and great news.

Jewel: Well, spill it!

Chris: First of all, we captured even more people than we anticipated. Unfortunately, we only have three Miraculouses. As for the great news, take a look for yourself.

Jewel: (sees Avery trapped in the ice) Avery. Just as I suspected. YOU'RE the hero everyone has so much faith in. But once the world sees Apidae for what she really is, she can kiss all that faith goodbye!

Now it's up to the three newcomers to save their friends from worldwide exposure. Will they be able to stop Jewel and Chris in time?
