03x20 - Gamer 2.0

[bunniefuu]

In the daytime,
I'm Marinette.

Just a normal girl
with a normal life.

But there's something about e that
no one knows yet.

Because I have a secret.

♪ Miraculous! Simply the best! ♪

♪ Up to the test
when things go wrong! ♪

♪ Miraculous! The luckiest! ♪

♪ The power of love,
always so strong! ♪

♪ Miraculous! ♪

Mommy! I wanna go on the
merry-go-round! Pretty please?

As many times as you like,
sweetheart. It's Sunday!

Yay!

When were paid holidays
instituted in France?

Oh, please don't talk
about holidays.

But it's for your history test
tomorrow, Marinette!

Uh, OK. First paid holiday,
summer !

Good job! Uh... you're drawing
on the tee shirt right now.

Aaah!

Perhaps you should
take a little break? Marinette!

I can't, Tikki!

It's all due tomorrow!

Tomorrow. Tomorrow!

Marinette! Ultimate Mecha
Strike tournament time!

Video games?

It's been so long
since I last played video games.

No! I can't give in!

Dad, with the T-shirt for
Kitty Section, the History test,

the sketches for Jagged's
new poster,

I still have hours
of work left

to fit in by tomorrow.
And the week after that's worse!

I don't have a choice.
I have to stop playing!

Stop playing?
But, Marinette,

playing is like that little
pinch of salt in baguettes.

It makes life tastier!

Garet I've got so many cakes
baking in the oven,

they're all on the verge
of getting burnt!

No amount of salt
is gonna fix this!

Fine. That's too bad.
But remember,

watch your apple pie,
sweetheart.

It's bubbling
all over your cinnamon flan.

Oh, why does she have
to grow so fast?

It's a part of life. So...
best of three do the laundry?

Ha!

[Tom] So you got me!
I don't believe it.

You've been practicing
in secret!

[Sabine] Triple Cosmic Kick!
Bam! Yes! I got you!

- [Tom] Oh, no!
- So,

paid vacation was instituted

to allow workers to...?

Take a break. Play video games.
No!

Found it.
It really was just a dream.

I filled it out, for real!

Now, I just need to finish
the Kitty Section T-shirts,

review my English lessons
and colouring.

It's for my new video game.

Ah! Video games.

Colouring the poster.

I'd love to test
your video game, Max,

but I promised Prince Ali
we'd go on a charity cruise

on his yacht this afternoon.
Sorry.

- Kim!
- Yeah?

Interested in playing
the best fighting game in the world?

% created
by your best friend!

A fighting game
he designed himself...

Aaah! What's wrong with me?

I'm sure I'd get highest score,
but I've got swimming practice.

Ondine's waiting for me.

- Alix!
- You up for testing my game?

It has characters, and
you can loot their equipment!

... Loot...
Aaah! No, no, no, no!

No can do. I've got
a skate contest coming up!

No winning without training!

Sorry,
your team sounds amazing,

but I've got fencing,

then my Chinese lesson,
a photoshoot...

A fighting game with former
akumatised people?

- What do you say?
- We point them... next week

We still have plenty
of pages to finish!

We'd gladly help,
to keep up the game

if it weren't for our costume
fitting at Marinette's!

Ah! Marinette! The most skilled
gamer in the whole class!

We won the interschool
tournament together!

- Of course she won't say...
- No!

But I haven't said
anything yet.

And I don't want you
to say it!

Because then I wouldn't be able
to refuse!

And I have to resist!

I've got too much to do today!

A Kerry Poster
to sew for Jagged Stone!

I mean, a Jagged T-shirt for
drawing Kitty. I mean... Argh!

What Dupain-Cheng is trying
to tell you,

using this ridiculously
fake excuse,

is she doesn't want to play
your dumb video game!

In fact, no one wants to,

because everyone
has a more interesting life,

than you do
even Marinette,

which is saying something!

No, It's not a fake excuse
at all.

I really do have a Jagged poster
to knit Kitty! No!

To post a stone.
To stone a jag. Uh.

Aaah! I'm late!

Ah, Markov!
At least I can count on you!

Sorry, Max.
I'm connected to the worldwie

artificial intelligence network.

We're looking
into global warming.

But I need you to help me
test my video game.

Impossible.
To optimise my results,

I have eliminated
all recreational activities

from my system.

Oh, how depressing!

All of his friends having
such important

and serious things to do!

I, however, love a good game,

and I've got
all the time in the world!

Fly away, my little akuma,
and evilise him!

Nice to see you again,
Gamer . !

Our last little round felt
a little incomplete.

So, how about a rematch?

I could give your game
a whole new dimension.

One thing hasn't changed,
though.

I'm only asking
for one tiny reward.

Ladybug and Cat Noir's
Miraculous! Game on!

One more ticket for...

Huh?

Something smells bad
around here, Plagg.

Oh, could it be Brie?
Reblochon?

Camembert?
Please tell me you smell Camembert?

- No. I smell evil!
- Plagg, claws out!

The last one!

What do you do when no one wants
to play with you?

You give them no choice!

- Max?
- Ladybug, Cat Noir,

all of these people were once
akumatised

and then saved by you!
If you want another chance

at freeing them,
you'll have to play with me!

I think you're gonna have
to take a break that time.

Let's make it quick.
I still have a lot to do!

Tikki, spots on! Yeah!

The first one who finds
a way in wins!

We don't have time to play
Cat Noir.

I've got a ton of other things
to do!

So, Ladybug and Cat Noir,
ready to play?

Please enter your pyrapod.

- What if it's a trap, milady?
- No, I'm sure it's not.

He just wants to play.
So, let's keep in touch!

Take your pyrapod!

Welcome
to Miraculous All-Star Brawl!

If you win, I'll set you free.

You and all of them!
But, if you lose...

I don't have time to lose,
Gamer!

Let's begin
and get this over with!

Your hastiness will be
your downfall, Ladybug.

My chance of winning
has just sh*t up %!

[video-game voice]
The Mime! Riposte! Ready? Fight!

I'm gonna slice you
into sashi-mime!

Wouldn't you be better off
with Cat Noir

lending you a helping paw
Ladybug

I know what I'm doing!

Be Careful! The mimed
object disappears if you talk!

[battle cry]

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

[battle cry]

- Au revoir!
- Aaah!

[video-game voice]
Ring out! Mime wins!

Talking on purpose?
Miming your own yo-yo?

Clever as ever, milady!

- I won, Gamer . ! Release us!
- A game with just one round?

Where's the fun in that?
Ladybug.

It doesn't end
till you've battled

all the characters
in the gaqme.

But this is gonna take
forever!

That's the best part about it!

- The longer, the better.
- My turn! My turn!

Frightingale.
Stormy Weather. Awesome!

But a little too awesome for
a first battle. Oh! My copycat!

No, I'd be too good as myself.
That would be too easy.

Hurry up! Choose Copycat
and cataclysm

this game away
so we can get back home!

Fine.
If we need to hurry this up...

- Roo! Roo!
- You've got to be kidding me!

I've always wanted
to train pigeons!

[laughs] There aren't even any
pigeons in this stadium!

Roo! Roo!

There is one! And I'm gonna
call him Fiery Phoenix!

[groans]

W- More like Megaflop Phoenix!
[laughs]

It's gonna be
the fastest victory ever!

Aaah! Go away,
you flying rat!

Double-ankle grab and smash!

Somersault wrap trap!

Feathered face wash!

The volatile's elbow!

[video-game voice]
Mr Pigeon wins!

Pound it, Fiery Phoenix!

Impossible!

Can't we play the whole match
in one go?

Then it wouldn't be fun
anymore!

We've got more rounds left,
plus the finale!

If you ask me,
this was never fun!

[video-game voice]
Befana! Dark Owl! Ready? Fight!

You called for coal, bird brain?

Owl mist!

Hoomerangs!

Aaah!

[video-game voice]
Ring out! Dark Owl wins!

Hoo-hoo! No one is as
laser-precise as The Dark Owl!

- You got lucky, that's all!
- My turn!

[laughs]

This brings back memories!

[video-game voice]
Reflekta! Rogercop!

Reasy?
Fight!

Oh, come on now!

They see me catwalking.

They hatin'!

Aaah!

[video-game voice]
Reflekta wins!

Stop boasting, Cat Noir.

We're not here to have fun!
We must end this fast!

[video-game voice]
Copycat! Puppeteer!

Redy?
Fight!

Cataclysm!

Copycat... come to life!

[video-game voice]
Puppeteer wins!

Ouch! That sure was fast!

You wanted to speed things up!

And now you're going
to lose even faster

than you thought, Ladybug!

We will not lose!

- Hey! It's my turn to...
- I refuse to lose!

No biggie. Be my guest.

Gorizilla! Stoneheart!

Ring out! Stoneheart wins!

Ha, ha! I win again,
Loserbug!

Uh, milady, you OK
for your strategy just...?

I'll show you.

[video-game voice]
Anansi! Stormy Weather!

Ready? Fight!

Cyclone!

[laughs]

Surprise!

Aaah!

- [video-game voice] Anansi wins!
- Ha, ha! See, milady?

Milady, you OK?

Cat Noir,
I think I forgot how to play!

OK, I got this.

[video-game voice] Lady Wifi!
Timebreaker! Ready? Fight!

Milady, the best way to win
isn't about knowing how to play!

It's all about loving to play!

Playing is the best way
to do something

you'd never do in real life!

So have some fun,
my Bugaboo,

and Gamer won't have
a chance at b*ating you!

"Playing is the best way
to do something

you'd never do
in real life!"

Yeah, there could be something
I always wanted to do.

Be my guest!

[video-game voice]
Evillustrator! Volpina!

Ready? Fight!

Mirage!

Aaah!

- [video-game voice] Ring out!
- Oh, that felt so good!

No cockroaches in my kitchen!
Ice-cream feast! Yum, yum!

Found you. Fired you!

Par le fer!

Aaah!

This is what you call

"knight fall"!

Ah, she's so paw-some!

I. Love. This. Game!

May I remind you
this is not just a game!

You're the one who wanted us
to have fun!

I think
we're ready for the final, boss!

Stop hiding behind your toys
and get in the ring, Gamer . !

I am the final boss.

But how are we going to figure
out who should battle me?

What do you mean?

I'm sure you'd agree

that two against one
would be very unfair.

So the only way to know
which one of you will take me on

is if you two fight each other!

[video-game voice]
Ladybug! Cat Noir!

Ready?
Fight!

What are you waiting for?
Start fighting!

Or everyone
will be imprisoned forever.

We can't let this happen!

You know I love
battling by your side, milady.

But I could never fight you.

Cat Noir, what are you doing?

Giving you some extra time.

No! Cat Noir!

I trust you to bring me back,
milady!

[video-game voice]
Ring out! Ladybug wins!

You wanted
to get this over with.

Now,
since this is the final battle,

in addition
to your own superpower,

you get to pick four items.
Although...

I wouldn't even bother
if I were you,

because I'm going to b*at you
no matter what.

You know what?
Cat Noir's right.

I'm going
to take my sweet bug time!

I'm happy
you're enjoying the game!

I'm going to enjoy winning
this game!

And by my rules!

Lucky charm!

[laughs] What a newbie you are!

Are you expecting to b*at
the creator of this game

with a bag of flour?

And a few other items!

Given what you chose,
in precisely one minute

and seconds,
you will lose.

[video-game voice]
Ladybug! Gamer . !

I would've loved for it
to last longer,

but my statistics
are never wrong.

Did your statistics
predict this? Cataclysm!

What in the...?

[laughs] I am the game master!

I can play any character!

You thought you'd break me with
that ridiculous magic trick?

Be a nice fairy
and give me that Miraculous!

What?

That's not fair! So not fun!

You're ruining the whole thing!

Oops! Sorry! Aren't your hits
having any effect?

In chess, it's called a "pat".

A can't win,
can't lose situation.

What was it that you said
again?

Oh, yeah. "The longer,

the better."

[laughs] It could have worked,
if I didn't

just have
to wait for you to transform back.

Checkmate, young Ladybug!
Bested by your own game!

Cyclone!

Hoo do you think
you're foo-hoo-ling?

Aaah!

I've won!
You're out, Ladybug!

No! There's no way!

I don't believe it! Ha, ha, ha!

There's a bug in your game,
Gamer!

No! That's impossible!

Even the best games
by the best designers have bugs.

[video-game voice] Ladybug wins!

But sometimes
they don't.

You got me!
Good game!

Miraculous Ladybug!

My baby.

No more evildoing for you,

little akuma.

Time to de-evilise!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly!

No more games, Ladybug.

I'll get my revenge
and when I do,

you won't even remember
the meaning of the word "fun"!

Hey, Cat Noir!

Between being a superhero
and everything else,

how do you manage
to still have fun?

Aren't you scared you'll have
to sacrifice everything you love

for all of this?

The times
when I have the most fun,

my favourite moments,

are when I'm with you, milady.

I'd give up everything
for just that.

Mom, Dad,
I know I don't have time

to play with you guys
these days,

but Max does, and he has
a video game he designed,

which he needs to test,
with tons of bugs in it!

- A video game he made himself?
- With bugs to find?

- To the living room!
- To the living room!

Tikki, I'm almost done
with the T-shirts.

And Jagged's poster can wait,
can't it?

It sure can, Marinette.

Leave a few bugs for me.
Here I come!
