03x15 - Kwamibuster

[bunniefuu]

In the daytime, I'm Marinette.

Just a normal girl with a normal life.

But there's something about me 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! ♪

In , Molière was commissioned by King Louis XIV,

nicknamed the Sun King,

to write a play that was meant to ridicule a certain...

Plagg, you promised you wouldn't go back there!

Sorry, Sugarcube, but I can't resist such irresistible beauty!

Here it sits, every day, beckoning me with gooey lusciousness.

And every time I eat it, it just pops right back up the very next day!

Don't you think it's strange this gross, stinky thing reappears in the same spot,

day after day?

That's precisely why I call it the magic cheese!

I've got you at last, strange creatures!

This is exactly why you should always listen to me!

Let's get outta here!

[screaming]

And they speak, too!

I can't! It's impossible to abandon such a creamy,

cosy Reblochon!

-[crashing and banging] -[student] Hey! What's going on?

Stay focused on Molière and his plays!

[Mrs Mendeleiev is screaming]

Go ahead and run away.

I have proof of my great scientific discovery!

[beeping]

[school bell rings]

Hmm.

You don't want me reading your little secrets, Marinette?

I don't have secrets from you.

You're the only one I can discuss my life with.

Even my parents or Alya don't know me as well as you do.

I'm so happy to have you, Tikki.

You're the only being I can be myself with, without ever having to lie.

I'm really happy to have you, too.

Good night, Tikki.

Goodnight, Marinette.

Plagg, we must tell our owners or Master Fu what happened today.

Chill out, Sugarcube! Don't forget that nobody can capture or record us!

I know that, but we were actually seen by a human, and at school, too!

That could reveal our owners' identities!

Oh, OK, I promise you I won't eat any more magic cheese, ever again!

What's the worst that could happen anyway?

Mr Damocles, can you confirm rumours that Mrs Mendeleiev isn't here

because she'll be on the Alternative Truth show?

Where everything isn't always true, but nothing is really false!

It is indeed quite possible that Mrs Mendeleiev

has made a scientific discovery of utmost importance.

Can we watch the show please?

Huh?

[groans] My brother's one of the guests.

We're back for the next segment of Alternative Truth!

Where everything isn't always true, but nothing is really false!

Let's welcome our last guest today, Mrs Mendeleiev,

a science teacher at François Dupont High School.

Yay! That's our teacher!

Kim, sit down, please!

-Hello. Thank you for having me. -You'll describe a scientific theory

to our panel of experts, who will decide if it's true or false!

-True or false! -Sit.

Mrs Mendeleiev, you already know our jury.

Its members are, as always, the famous singer, XY, the one and only Mr Banana...

Stay peachy!

And the incredible Manon Chamack,

daughter of news reporter, Nadia Chamack! Over to you.

You're about to witness proof of the existence of interdimensional creatures

with incredible powers

who can move through matter and seem to be attracted

to aged cheese.

I discovered the first one soon after school began.

I started observing it closely, then I discovered a second one.

I have proof! Watch closely! You can't see the creatures themselves

because they're not filmable.

-But look right there! -[laughs]

As I was unable to capture these creatures on video,

I've made sketches of them, to give you an idea of what they look like.

-What's that even supposed to be? -I doubt this show is remotely scientific.

[on TV] Mrs Mendeleiev,

are you serious about actually chasing cheese-eating ghosts?

I'm always serious!

I thought we didn't keep secrets!

I didn't want to bother you with kwami nonsense!

I thought the problem had been resolved.

Plagg promised he'd no longer eat magic cheese!

Wait a sec! Plagg was here in this school,

which means Cat Noir is a student here, just like me?

If I just figured this out, Cat Noir probably figured out

that I figured out that he figured it out!

No, not at all!

Plagg would travel for miles to sink his teeth into good cheese!

[chuckles]

Now I'll always wonder whether you're lying or not!

[Tikki sighs]

I'm so sorry, Marinette.

It's OK. You're trying to protect me.

If I figure out who he is, I'll have to give up my Miraculous.

So, I won't try. And I hope he doesn't either.

It's time for our jury to tell us if the theories we heard are...

[both TV and Kim] True or false?

Jalil Kubdel hypothesized that Egyptian pyramids are, in fact,

alien spaceships that ran out of gas. What do you think?

-Alix, look! It's your brother! -[groans]

Our jury has been convinced. Jalil succeeds!

True or false?

Whoa! Your brother's won! Awesome!

Theory number two! Mr Vincent Aza hypothesised that snow is, in fact,

boogers from a giant who lives in the clouds!

[beeping]

Mr Banana was not convinced.

No, but stay peachy!

But you do have two votes, which means that you too have won!

Last, Mrs Mendeleiev says there are creatures who like to eat cheese.

[beeping]

I'm very sorry, but your fake video footage

failed to convince our panel of experts!

Stay peachy!

It wasn't fake! This is an authentic, major, scientific discovery!

You're welcome to come back when you've captured your invisible creatures!

[laughter]

Now there's a very familiar emotion.

Fly away, my little akuma and evilise

her misunderstood heart!

Kwamibuster, I am Hawk Moth.

They made a mockery of your science. I'm ready to believe you!

Really?

Of course!

These interdimensional creatures are called kwamis.

And I'm giving you the power to capture them.

But in return, you must give me Ladybug and Cat Noir's magic jewels,

their Miraculous.

You can count on me, Hawk Moth.

Soon, I will be the greatest scientist in the whole world!

[evil laugh]

You could have been captured! That was so irresponsible of you!

Please! It's impossible to capture a kwami!

We can move through matter and we can't be filmed or photographed!

You're as much of a party-pooper as Sugarcube!

Sugarcube? Who's Sugarcube?

Tikki! Ladybug's kwami!

Wait a second! If Tikki was there too, that means she was here at school,

which means Ladybug is a student here, just like me,

which means I probably know Ladybug already!

Oh, no!

A big thank you to all our scientists and members of the jury!

We'll see you again next week for another edition

[TV and Kim] of Alternative Truth!

I feel sorry for Mrs Mendeleiev.

I feel sorry for myself that she's my teacher!

[Kwamibuster] Wait! The show's not over!

I am Kwamibuster! And I'm going to conduct one last scientific experiment!

I just can't stop thinking about who Cat Noir really is!

He has to be one of the boys.

[beeping]

[beeping]

An akumatized person has appeared near the TV Station.

It appears to be a teacher from François Dupont High School.

This safety vault will withstand a -storey fall. True or false?

-[Alec] False! It won't! -We gotta go.

I must convince Cat Noir that Marinette Dupain-Cheng can't possibly be Ladybug!

Or I won't be able to be Ladybug any more.

Tikki, spots on!

Adrien, won't you, like, summon me to jump into action or something?

Plagg, what if Marinette were Ladybug?

Marinette? Nah!

Besides, you shouldn't be trying to find out more.

If you discovered her identity, you'd have to give your Miraculous back!

So, if I were you, I'd act like nothing's going on.

That's what I do when there's a problem. It's always worked fine for me!

Maybe, for once, I'd better listen to you.

Plagg, claws out! [lively music]

[Alec] Let me go! I mean, don't! Don't do that!

[Hawk Moth] Excellent, Kwamibuster.

Ladybug and Cat Noir will have to come to this emcee's rescue!

Then I can easily capture their kwamis!

Fly!

[Alec] Aaah!

[catchy music]

[car alarm]

So predictable!

[Alec groans]

Aaah!

Thanks, Ladybug! Ladybug saved me!

There you have it. The answer was "True".

Ladybug defies the laws of science!

I'll capture your kwamis and prove to everyone

these magic creatures really do exist! True or false?

I don't think it matters. We won't give you a chance to prove anything!

I love this plan! I'm excited to be part of it! Let's do it!

Back off, kids! I'm a scientist!

You're no scientist. You're more like a game-show host!

I'll prove to the world

that I am a great scientist and that I made a major discovery!

I hope your kwami doesn't ever do anything like this again!

Well, I heard your kwami was with him!

She was trying to talk sense into yours!

I get the feeling you two are a perfect match!

[Ladybug] Aaah!

This Kwamibuster villain, she's from the high school, right?

Don't forget the rules. We can't know each other's secret identity! [screaming]

So, kwamis don't exist, huh? Well, here's proof!

Aaah!

Ladybug!

-Ladybug! Is everything... ? -Don't look over here!

[Hawk Moth] You can find out

who Ladybug is and take her Miraculous from her.

She's powerless now that she's lost her kwami!

[evil laugh]

Cataclysm! [lively music]

[catchy music]

Now I'm going to seize your kwami, Cat! True or false?

Gotcha!

[Cat Noir groans]

Don't waste your energy. We can't go through it.

It's all down to your cheese addiction!

I still have my cata--

No! You can't control it.

Your cataclysm could make things even worse!

So how are you planning to get us out of here, Sugarcube?

I'm not. But I'm sure Ladybug will.

I already have your kwamis.

And, soon, I'll have your Miraculous too. True or false?

Master,

Tikki and Plagg have been captured

and Cat Noir might discover my secret identity!

You both know the consequences of that.

That's why I'll fix everything and save Tikki.

[Master Fu] Marinette Dupain-Cheng, you have to pick a Miraculous.

Only, this time, you won't be giving it to someone else.

You'll wear it yourself, until you get Tikki back.

You can't do that. Merging Miraculous would give you way too much power!

It could make you lose your mind!

Don't worry, Master, I only need one power, the Mouse's.

I'm just wearing the others so I can free the kwamis.

I need them to pull off my plan.

Mullo, get squeaky!

[lively music]

And now I'm Multimouse!

-Are you sure about this, Marinette? -If I don't do it,

who else will defeat Kwamibuster?

To capture the akuma,

I must save Tikki and get my Ladybug powers back first!

To do that, I'll let myself get captured!

[lively music]

Multitude!

Toppo,

Trixx,

unify!

[lively music]

And now, I'm Multifox!

- Let's go! - Mmm?

If Marinette fails,

Hawk Moth will claim almost every Miraculous for himself.

She's never failed!

True or false? Cat Noir has disguised himself as Mr Banana!

Uh... Stay peachy?

Stay put!

Soon we'll discover Cat Noir's true identity

and his Miraculous will be mine, at last!

[Multimouse] Charge!

There's something you don't see every day!

Kwamibuster, I promised you kwamis and here they are!

Now, bring me all the Miraculous in return!

You can't get away from me! You're no match for Kwamibuster!

[Multimouse] Catch us if you can!

Psst! Cat Noir? Is that you?

Ladybug?

Just when I think I finally know you, you surprise me again!

That's very sweet of you, but I'm not Ladybug. I'm Multimouse.

Ladybug has sent me to fetch your Miraculous.

How do I know I can trust you?

Ladybug trusted me when she gave me a Miraculous, didn't she?

I'm relying on her to bring Plagg back!

OK! Thank you. Oh, yeah, Ladybug said you should meet her on the roof!

I will catch you all! Ha, ha, ha!

It looks like your owner has failed us, Tikki! We're doomed.

-Ladybug? -I told you that my owner was the best!

I'd never abandon you, Tikki!

Plagg, Mullo, unify!

Tikki, Mullo, unify!

Cataclysm!

[Kwamibuster] Oooh!

Oh! Ugh!

Lucky Charm! [lively music]

Mullo, Plagg, divide!

[lively music]

[Multimouse] As promised.

Thank you, mysterious Multimouse!

Thank you! See you, Cat Noir!

Mirage!

I think you should convince everyone you're not a student at the high school!

You're right, that would be safer!

Plagg, claws out! [lively music]

Being Cat Noir is much more a-peeling than being a banana!

[intriguing music]

Good job, Multimouse! Thanks to you, I got my kwami back and Cat Noir's!

Awesome plan, girls!

[lively music]

Time to de-evilise!

Bye-bye, little butterfly.

Miraculous Ladybug!

We came, we saw, we kicked her hat! Now I gotta give you this back, right?

No, not here!

You shouldn't have given me the Miraculous back in front of...

But I didn't think you kept any secrets from each other.

Oh! I am so clumsy!

I'm sorry, but now your identity is no longer a secret,

I won't be able to give you a Miraculous again.

I'll take Marinette back, Cat Noir.

-You take care of Mrs Mendeleiev. -Ladybug, wait!

I wanted to apologise for my kwami being in that elementary school.

-It was a high school. -High school, right.

I promise it'll never happen again!

Bug out!

Mr Cat, would you be willing to testify I really did make a scientific discovery?

I'm sorry, Mrs Mendeleiev, but I can't do that.

And you must keep it a secret if you want us to protect Paris from Hawk Moth!

I understand.

I guess I'm just like Copernicus, way ahead of my time!

Uh, yeah, that's right... just like him!

[Mrs Mendeleiev] Oh ! [Cat Noir] Whee!

All his kwamis, so many powers!

If I can capture them first,

I will form my own army

of Miraculous-wearing supervillains

and defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir once and for all!

I must find the guardian!

Reality!

Mullo, Trixx, divide!

[lively music]

Mullo, divide! [lively music]

No more evil-doing for you, little akuma.

[lively music]

Time to de-evilise.

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly.

Miraculous Ladybug!

[cheering]

[all together] Whee!

[Marinette] No worries, Master, Cat Noir

wouldn't imagine that I'm Ladybug.

Now I know he's not a student at François Dupont.

He thought it was an elementary school!

If you'd been forced to give up

being Ladybug because of me, I would've never forgiven myself.

We all make mistakes, Tikki. But I know you're a friend I can truly rely on!

[Master Fu] No Miraculous owner in all of history

has ever been strong enough

to use that many Miraculous at the same time.

Marinette truly is special, Master.
