In Present Mic classroom everyone are studying a English lesson with Present Mic about the rules of fencing in English. Some students which is mainly the Miraculous heroes and their civilian identity focuses on the lesssons while other students which is mainly Les Enfants Terribles are plotting against the Miraculous heroes to humiliate them, then it's lunch time. Then it's Gym class where the students will try as a sport : fencing. Sam was dressed up in a fencing uniform trying on helmets when Faang flew out.
"You know I'm surprised that you wanted to try out for this." Faang said.
"Well D'Argencourt is the best fencing academy in Paris, if I get in it could really help improve my skills as Silver Claw." Sam said.
"I'm proud of you for taking this seriously." Faang said as Sam put on a helmet that fit great. Smiling he was about to walk out the door when it opened from the other side. "Faang." Sam gestured and Faang flew into his jacket as the door opened to reveal Montana Max.
"Sam Noctis AKA Daddy's boy". Said Montana Max with venom in his voice.
"Montana Max AKA Spoiled brat". Said Sam with venom in his voice.
"What are you doing here ? Daddy's boy ?" Said Herve (One of Sissi's friends in Code Lyoko and member of Les Enfants Terribles)
"I have a name you know, it's SAM ! Would you like it if I called you "Nerd" ?" Said Sam towards Herve much to the "nerd" anger.
"Brag as much as you want, daddy's boy, me and Montana we're gonna give you a hard beating in the fencing tournament". Warned Herve.
"Just a little reminder for both of you : Cheaters never prospers". Warned Sam.
"Then in that case, may the best swordfighter wins, right Sam ?" Asked Elmyra.
"Yes, may the best swordfighter wins and just a reminder Elmyra : You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose." Reminded Sam.
"I am the fencing master, Mr. D'Argencourt. As I am sure you are all aware we will only pick the best for the fencing tournament later. So, to select the best candidates I will observe a friendly match between Montana Max and Samuel "Sam" Noctis.
"Get into position." Mr. D'Argencourt said as all the students paired up.
With Sam he was facing off against Montana Max who lunged at him, the cheater was helped by Herve who uses another tech from Sam's parents with a winch and pulleys system, but thanks to his Silver Claw training he dodged and countered with ease.
'Wow this is a piece of cake compared to dealing with Hawk Moth.' Sam thought looking over he saw Marinette and Adrien facing off. 'Those two are pretty decent too.' After this, Sam cuts the pulleys, bringing Montana Max down and Herve is shocked and mad that thanks to Sam, their cheating attempt is exposed.
"Not bad Sam, have you taken fencing classes before?" D'Argencourt asks walking over to him.
"Not really. I taught myself." Sam shurgs.
"Impressive." D'Argencourt grins liking what he heard, he then points towards Herve and Montana Max. "As for you two knaves, directly to the principal office, he will give you a punishment for cheating". Said D'argencourt much to the two brats anger.
"Hey you!" Looking to the front they saw someone in a red fencing outfit walk in. "Are you Sam Noctis ?"
"Uh, yes, that's me." Sam said.
"Surprised to see me ?" The stranger take off her fencing mask.
"Korra !" Said Sam and Zoe while hugging her.
"It has been a while, right Korra ?" Asked Sam, happy to see his 2nd childhood friend.
"To be honest yes, the last time we met, it was during your 15th birthday, Sam." Said Korra.
(Flashback to Sam's 15th birthday where he celebrates with Zoe and Korra)
"So Sam, what do you think about Silver Claw ?" Asked Korra.
"He looks kinda cool with his sword, he's my favorite superhero in the world." Answered Sam.
"Perhaps, it's relatable to you Sam, since you're like a lone wolf." Teased Zoe.
"Never really thought about it..." Admitted Sam.
(Flashback End)
"So Sam, I heard you're going to participate in the fencing tournament ?" Asked Korra.
"Yup, I'm gonna represent D'Argencourt fencing academy and Françoise Dupont Middle-School with Adrien." Answered Sam.
"Nice, you know Sam, that my cousin will also participate in the tournament." Said Korra.
"Your cousin ? Interesting, perhaps me and Adrien will face your cousin in the tournament." Said Sam.
"Maybe, gotta go Sam, see you later." Said Korra.
"See you later, Korra." Said Sam.
Korra is now in Marinette's family bakery.
"Hi Marinette !" Said Korra.
"Hi Korra ! So what's bring you here ?" Asked Marinette.
"I'm here to give you a ticket for the fencing tournament because there's a certain boy who's going to participate, if you know what I mean ?" Asked Korra with a teasing smirk.
"Adrien ? He's going to participate ? Oh thank you, Korra ! Let's go !" Said Marinette.
As soon, as the girls heads out off the bakery, Marinette is surprised to see the rest of the team.
"What are you guys doing here ?" Asked Marinette.
"We heard that Sam and Adrien are going to participate in the tournament, so we're gonna cheer on them." Answered Alya.
"Me and Markov we calculate the coordinates of where Sam and Adrien will participate in the tournament and I suggest we move on if we're gonna watch them." Advised Max.
So our heroes are now on their way for the fencing tournament. As for Sam, he's getting ready for the tournament while being briefed by his parents.
"I'm sure you'll do fine Sam, your mother and I are so proud of you." Said Nick with a smile towards his son.
"You can do it, Sam, mommy's so proud of you." Said Lily while kissing her son forehead.
Meanwhile with Kagami
"Sorry mrs. Tsurugi but your daughter cannot participate in the tournament." Said the receptionist.
"How dare you ?! My daughter is one of the best fencers in D'Argencourt Fencing Academy along with Adrien Agreste and Samuel "Sam" Noctis, she must participate in that tournament !" Said Tomoe with anger.
"I understand but rules are rules, your daughter cannot participate in this tournament, since it's only boys !" Said the receptionist with a bit of fear.
"Please Sir, you must understand, Kagami is my friend and one of the best fencers of the academy, she must participate in the tournament." Pleaded Adrien.
"You better listen to that boy over here, he's the son of one of my business partners : The king of fashion : Gabriel Agreste." Reminded Tomoe.
"Even if he's the son of the King of Fashion, it won't matter, rules of the tournament are clear : No girls allowed !" Said the receptionist exasperated.
"Mother may I wait outside while you try to make my participation to the tournament accepted ?" Asked Kagami.
"Go ahead, my daughter, i'll do everything so you can participate in that tournament." Answered Tomoe.
Meanwhile with Sam
Sam was facing Montana's Max from Les Enfants Terribles team with Herve, he once again uses a system of pulleys and winch, only this time everytime Sam tries to touch Montana Max, Herve uses a lever to turn back Montana Max before Sam touches him. So Sam uses another strategy. He closes his eyes and focusing when Montana Max is about to touch him, he slices the pulleys and winch, exposing the cheaters attempts, making Les Enfants Terribles team disqualified and Sam going directly for the final tag team match of the tournament.
So far here's the results of the tournament
Les Enfants Terribles : Disqualified
D'argencourt Fencing Academy/Françoise Dupont Middle School : (Sam Noctis) Qualified for the final Match.
Meanwhile with Hawk Moth :
"A champion whose opportunity of victory has been stolen. Crushing defeat is the ideal steel with which to forge a blade of revenge." Hawk Moth said as he turned a butterfly into an Akuma. "Natalie. I need Mayura to give his prey a new dimension."
Behind him, Natalie put the peacock Miraculous on her causing it to glitch a few times.
"Duusu, Spread my feathers!" Natalie declares as her brooch glowed allowing her to transform into Mayura.
"Fly away my little akuma and evilise her." Hawk Moth said turning a butterfly into an akuma.
Taking a feather from her fan, Mayura evilizes it into an amok. "Fly away, beautiful amok, and enhance and hone that frustration." "Fly away, my little Akuma, towards this spite and petulance and evilise that fencer."
Flying out the window the Akuma makes his way towards its target.
"Riposte, I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you a second chance to prove that you deserved to be in that tournament." Hawk Moth said telepathically.
"Riposte, I am Mayura, To help you succeed, you will be assisted by Feinte, that Sentimonster will help you claim victory." Mayura said telepathically.
"But in return you must bring me the Miraculous of Ladybug, Cat Noir, Silver Claw and the rest of the Miraculous Heroes Team." Hawk Moth said telepathically.
"For Victory, Hawk Moth and Mayura, I won't fail you !" Said Kagami before transforming into Riposte.
Meanwhile with Sam :
"Nice fight, Sam !" Said Kim.
"You were amazing, Sam !" Said Alya.
"The way you fought was really magnificent, Sam, even Nathaniel made some sketches of you during the fight." Said Rose.
"Thanks guys, well only the final match before the end." Said Sam nervous about the final match.
"No sweat, Sam, you got this on the bag !" Said Kim.
"I hope so..." Said Sam still unsure.
Meanwhile Adrien wins his match but after his match is over, another opponent appeared.
"You didn't want me to participate in this tournament, now you'll know that in this tournament there's only one who will be victorious : ME !" Said Riposte while wrecking havoc. While everyone fleed to avoid Riposte's Rampage.
"Kagami, who did this to you ?" Asked Korra worried about her cousin.
"There's no Kagami anymore, I am Riposte, the only victorious one of this fencing tournament with my new ally : Feinte !" Said Riposte, Feinte tried to slash Korra but Sam was quicked and moved Korra out of the way.
"Sam, what's going on ? Where's Kagami ?" Asked Korra.
"Follow me, I'll explain everything to you !" Answered Sam.
"I'll follow you too..." Said Marinette.
"No, Marinette ! Follow everyone, I don't want you to be in danger !" Ordered Sam.
Not listening to Sam and pushed by curiosity, Marinette saw Korra's speaking with a creature that looked like a firefly then she realized that Firefly is a Kwami, her suspicions were confirmed when she heard Korra said : "Go-Glow, let's shine !". Now she knows that Korra has a Miraculous.
"Korra wait I was about to... Marinette ?! What are you doing here ?!" Asked Sam, shocked to see that Marinette witnessed everything.
"You weren't supposed to find out about the fact I had a Miraculous, Marinette !" Admitted Korra, fearfully.
"It's okay, Korra, I understand but was there any people who knew that you had a Miraculous ?" Asked Marinette.
"Sam was the only one who knows that I have a Miraculous." Admitted Korra.
"So Illumina, ready to help us save Kagami ?" Asked Sam.
"No need to tell me twice Sam, let's go save my cousin !" Said Illumina.
"Looks like it's our cue..." Said Sam.
"Tikki, Spots on !"
"Faang, Teeth out !"
"Plaag, Claws out !"
Our heroes are now heading to the tournament to battle Riposte and her Sentimonster : Feinte.
"Kagami, i know you're still in here, you gotta fight it ! Free yourself from that Akuma !" Said desesperately Illumina.
"There's no more Kagami, only Riposte, no one will stand between me and my deserved victory in this tournament !" Said Riposte.
Cat Noir used Cataclysm and Silver Claw used Howl of the Moon to destroy the swords of Feinte and now that Feinte is weaponless, Ladybug uses her lucky charm which summons a sword and shield.
"A sword and shield ?" Asked Illumina unsure.
"Going medieval, are you, bugaboo ?" Asked Cat Noir.
"Ladybug, I think I know where the Akuma and the Amock are hiding, the fencing helmet and the sword of Riposte". Said Silver Claw. Ladybug watches the Akuma and Amok and she realizes that Silver Claw was right.
"Well observed, Silver Claw. Cat Noir, Illumina, uses this shield to take down the Amock, me and Silver Claw will take care of the Akuma !" Said Ladybug.
Lucario uses Aura Ball to distract Riposte and Feinte, Feinte tried to attack but Illumina uses "Light Shine" which summons a flash of light which is reflected into the shield directly into Feinte, destroying the Sentimonster and freeing the amock.
"Ready Silver Claw ?" Asked Ladybug.
"Absolutely, Ladybug !" Answered Silver Claw.
"All right, let's do this !" Said Ladybug, she and Silver Claw jumped and uses their respective swords to slash Riposte freeing the Akuma with the amock already freed thanks to Cat Noir and Illlumina cooperation.
"Nice work. Time to de-evilise!" Ladybug said, using her yo-yo and capturing the amok and Akuma and turning it into a feather and a buttefly. "Bye-bye little feather and buttefly. Miraculous LadyBug!" Kagami is back to normal and the Sentimonster is destroyed.
"Pound it !" Said the 4 heroes.
"Uh, what happened ?" Asked Kagami until she saw Ladybug, Cat Noir, Silver Claw and Illumina "Ladybug ? Cat Noir ? Silver Claw and who are you ?" Asked Kagami.
"Uh, Illumina, I think you should..." Advised Silver Claw.
"Oh right ! Go-Glow Light off !" Said Illumina before turning back to Korra.
"Korra, is that you ?" Asked Kagami.
"Yes, it's me." Answered Korra.
"Just in case Kagami, there, take this Miraculous charm, it will protect you against Hawk Moth and Mayura attacks." Said Ladybug while giving the charm to Kagami.
"Thanks Ladybug." Said Kagami.
"Sometimes, when things aren't fair Kagami, a true warrior shows their strength not through trying to break through, but by being strong enough to accept it, you can find new ways to demonstrate your skills." Explained Korra.
Kagami smiled at her cousin advices and hugs her much to Marinette's surprise.
"Kagami, what are you doing with Korra ? Why are you hugging her ?" Asked Marinette.
"Simple, Marinette, Kagami and I are cousins." Answered Korra much to Marinette's surprise.
"Wait Korra, how did you know Sam ?" Asked Kagami.
"Me, Sam and Zoe are childhood friends." Answered Korra much to Kagami's surprise while Sam has an embarassed smile.
"How about we focus on the rest of the fencing tournament ?" Asked Sam and Lucario nods.
"Good idea !" Said the 3 girls.
Later on, Kagami is officialy accepted in the tournament and she won her 2 matchs while Sam and Adrien won their final match. Making the D'Argencourt Fencing Academy/Françoise Dupont Middle-school team whose members are Kagami, Sam and Adrien, the winners of the fencing tournament.
"We are proud to announce Adrien Agreste, Samuel "Sam" Noctis and Kagami Tsurugi the winners of the fencing tournament from D'Argencourt Fencing Academy." Announced the organizer of the fencing tournament.
"As the musketeers would said : All for one..." Said Adrien while lifting his sword in the air.
"And One for all !" Said Kagami and Sam while lifting their swords in the air much to the cheers of their friends, parents (Tomoe and Nick and Lily (Sam's parents)) and loved ones.
"Thank you for saving my daughter, Korra." Said Tomoe towards her niece.
"It's always a pleasure to help my cousin or a loved one, aunt Tomoe." Said Korra towards her aunt.
