03x16 - Feast

[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! ♪

Don't be bemused, it's just the news!

The Louvre will be unveiling its latest acquisition today,

a mysterious statue carved from hardened lava,

recently discovered

on the highest mountaintops of Tibet by the museum's curator,

Mr Kubdel.

Adrien...

Marinette, I asked Alix to get us in, so I could show you

what I figured out about superheroes, not so you could gawk at Adrien!

You can do that any day at school, girl!

Super-Adriens... uh,

heroes! I'm all ears!

Cool. So, first,

you need to know that Ladybug and Cat Noir

get their powers from magic jewels called Miraculous.

You told me you'd stop researching Ladybug

not to jeopardise her identity!

Oh, I know! Except this research has nothing to do with her identity!

I'm gonna help Ladybug unmask Hawk Moth.

And I think I found a connection

between superheroes, Hawk Moth and the Miraculous.

OK, I'm convinced Ladybug, Cat Noir and others

have been depicted through the centuries.

Until, for some reason, they disappeared and the world forget about them.

We already know this one. The Ladybug from ancient Egypt!

Here! A black knight

or Black Cat Miraculous holder?

-Come on! -Hmm.

And here! A lady or a Butterfly superhero?

Now this.

Hercules or Lion Miraculous holder?

OK, so now there's a Lion Miraculous?

Why not a Bunny Miraculous while you're at it?

[Alya] You know sculptures were once painted, right?

Most of the paint vanished over time, but tiny pigments still remain.

Thanks to this special app,

witness how it originally looked!

But here's the big thing.

All these works of art have something in common.

It's the same symbol!

Look! It's everywhere!

Oooh!

It's like a secret-society emblem,

as if a kind of "order of guardians"

have been watching over the superheroes since the beginning of time.

Looks like the symbol on the Tibetan statue my old man found.

-[gasps] -[clapping]

[gasps]

-Nathalie, are you OK? -It's nothing, Adrien.

Just a dizzy spell.

Maybe we should head home now.

According to my old man, the statue is almost years old!

I found there hasn't been any Miraculous-wearing superheroes

for the last years!

So, this statue would be

the last-known trace of a Miraculous?

Until Ladybug and Cat Noir showed up a few months ago, yeah!

That's rad!

I'm sure my video will help Ladybug

-unmask Hawk Moth! -Wait!

You'll publish your theories on the Ladyblog?

Actually, I already uploaded the video!

The Mystery of the Miraculous! It's beyond awesome!

For sure it is, right?

Amazing! I'm sure Ladybug will be super excited about it.

And so will Hawk Moth.

Uh... uh... I gotta go!

I forgot I had, um, homework! Catch you later!

It's some kind of secret-society emblem,

as if an "order of guardians" has been watching over the superheroes

since the beginning of time.

It's my fault. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have trusted her with a Miraculous!

Alya is an excellent journalist.

She was bound to unveil this secret

kept under wraps for centuries. But don't worry.

It can't lead Hawk Moth to us!

And that same symbol is on this statue

that arrived at the Louvre earlier this week!

[scary music]

Impossible!

That's impossible!

We're doomed!

Because of a statue? But a second ago, you were saying--

That's not a statue, Marinette!

It's a Sentimonster!

A magical creature conjured from an emotion

shaped by the power of the Peacock!

But we've already defeated Sentimonsters created by Mayura.

Yes, but... none of them came close to the power of this one.

Huh?

It was born from the negative emotion of a young man

who had no idea what he was creating.

Remember when I told you I made a terrible mistake?

For you to understand, I must tell you the entire story.

[Master Fu] I was younger than you when I was chosen to be a Guardian.

My parents told me that it was a great honour, that I couldn't turn it down.

So they took me to the temple.

I wasn't very happy there.

I'd have preferred to live with my parents and be with other children my age.

I didn't want to be a guardian of anything.

One of the tests to become a Guardian required me to watch over a Miracle Box

for a full hours, without any food.

All I had for support was my apprentice's staff.

Soon I was hungry. With each passing hour, I became hungrier!

And it was all because of the Miraculous,

because I had to watch over them!

I couldn't take it any longer.

So, I took the Peacock Miraculous

and used its power.

All I wanted was a nice little companion I could send to the kitchen

to fetch me some rice balls.

But a Miraculous must never be used

for the wrong reasons.

The anger I was feeling mingled with my intense hunger,

and I created a Sentimonster

that was very different from the one I had envisioned!

A ravenous Sentimonster out to devour everything,

but specifically the Miraculous,

since they were the bane of my life at that very moment!

In my panic, I lost my staff,

the very object that would have enabled me to control it.

I was just a young boy. I was so afraid I didn't even think of destroying it.

By simply using the Peacock Miraculous,

I tried to erase all traces of the foolish thing that I had done.

A monk told me to run away with the grimoire he'd managed to save

and the Miraculous Box. The very last Miraculous Box.

That's when I realised my Sentimonster had devoured

all the other Miraculous Boxes that were kept in the temple.

And when the monks tried to stop it...

the temple,

the Order of the Guardians,

everything, it was destroyed.

I tried to run away from the Sentimonster.

But by doing so,

I lost the grimoire

and both the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculous.

I thought the Sentimonster had disappeared forever.

As soon as Hawk Moth finds out about it,

he'll be able to use the power of the Peacock to bring it back to life.

Master, if that happens, Cat Noir and I will be there.

But you won't stand a chance!

He's totally immune to the powers of the Miraculous!

And please stop calling me Master.

I have never been a Guardian to begin with.

I will not make another mistake.

You and Cat Noir will give me your Miraculous back

and I'll leave Paris with the Box, since that's what the monster is after.

It will come after me, sparing the city and its inhabitants.

But what if it catches up with you?

That will be my fate. It's all my fault, after all.

I won't let you leave alone!

When you chose me to become Ladybug, you placed your trust in me.

I'm asking you to do the same today.

Thank you, Marinette.

Thank you for everything.

Nathalie gets dizzy spells,

but it's nothing serious.

It's thoughtful of you to be concerned.

You don't have to worry about her.

If you say so, Father.

[Alya] And that same symbol

is on this statue that arrived at the Louvre this week!

I felt an Amok within. This isn't a statue.

It's a dormant Sentimonster, very old and very powerful.

Which means you can destroy it or bring it back to life.

But I wasn't the one who created it, so can't control it.

I'll help you.

It comes from the region where were found our Miraculous.

I've a strong feeling it could prove very useful to my quest.

You will return to the Louvre tonight.

Very well. [coughing]

You should get some rest before you go.

Don't worry. I'll be fine.

[sad piano music]

Hey! Why the long face?

My mom used to have dizzy spells, just like Nathalie.

My father said those weren't serious either.

How about a duet?

You play the piano?

My talents go way beyond sniffing out cheese, young man!

[rag time]

[laughing]

Mom's the only one who could make me laugh like that!

Thank you, Plagg.

[intriguing music]

I can feel its yearning,

Hawk Moth. It's hungry! Ravenous for Miraculous!

Yum yum, Miraculous!

You take one more step and I'll take your Amok away from you.

[grunts]

Do you really want me to destroy you?

[groans]

The Sentimonster is all yours, Hawk Moth.

Ah,

the frustration of a Miraculous just out of your grasp!

I know that feeling of hunger only too well.

Fly away,

my little akuma,

and evilise this Sentimonster!

Feast, I am Hawk Moth.

You have a consuming hunger that only the Miraculous can satisfy.

I'm giving you the power to track them down and devour every single one!

But after you've swallowed up their owners,

you must bring two Miraculous back to me,

the one of Ladybug and the Black Cat.

Oh, but don't you worry,

I'll give them back to you as soon as I'm done with them.

I'll even give you the Peacock's and mine as a bonus.

And thus you shall have eaten every single Miraculous

and your hunger shall be satiated.

Do we have an agreement?

[grunts]

All right. It's dinner time, Feast!

Yummy! Miraculous!

Huh?

I'm sorry.

Aaah! [soft music]

Wayzz?

"Marinette, you're a most incredible Ladybug,

but I cannot let you and Cat Noir risk your lives to fix a mistake that I made.

I hope you can forgive me. Be happy and forget all about me.

Signed, Fu."

No way! Tikki!

No!

Master!

[Marinette] Wait!

[dramatic music]

No! Master, wait!

-Master, is this the best solution? -It's the only solution!

Master!

Yum yum,

Miraculous!

See, Wayzz? If Marinette had kept her Miraculous,

it would have swallowed her up!

Or she would have transformed into Ladybug and fought it.

[Master Fu] Sometimes fighting is futile, Wayzz!

Feast is attracted by the Miraculous' scent.

The man it's chasing can only be the Guardian of the Miraculous!

Soon, he'll have nothing left to guard.

Feast is going to devour everything!

And we shall relish the taste of triumph, my dear Mayura!

[honks]

Hi there, Bugaboo!

Cat Noir? Is that you?

Who else would you expect by your side?

Isn't that costume a little unsafe?

Only on the outside! I've got a helmet on under my banana peel, Bugaboo!

If you call me "Bugaboo" one more time, I'll start calling you "Bananoir!"

As you wish, Bugaboo!

Let's take a shortcut!

[grunts]

There! The bus!

[knock on window]

Hey, driver!

I'm Ladybug and I need you to help me!

Ladybug? Right! And your buddy here's the famous "Bananacat," I presume?

Call me Bananoir!

Doesn't matter who we are!

That man is being chased by a monster and we have to help him!

OK, you can count on me!

Thank you, super-driver!

[grunts]

Now!

[laughter]

Master, look! Ladybug and Cat Noir! They haven't let you down!

Impossible! They don't have their Miraculous!

OK! I'll help you, but ride on the side of the road before you get hurt.

In the name of the law, I...

Oh, destruction of public property!

♪ My name's André, I make the ice cream! I'm friends with... ♪

Look! It must be them. Who else would do something so crazy?

Hey! Have a taste of this! Some exploding Banana Split from Bananoir!

[Marinette] Much tastier than any Miraculous.

Just look! There's no use in running.

Your disciples never give up the fight no matter what!

With or without a Miraculous, they are Ladybug and Cat Noir!

I don't want to cause their disappearance!

Whether you like it or not, you're the Guardian!

Precisely. This is my decision to make!

[Adrien] André! We're outta a*mo!

[Marinette] André! Go somewhere safe! We're going to handle this...

-[grunts] -I hope.

Hey! Leave them alone!

I'm the one you've been wanting the past years!

The Guardian of the Miraculous is this decrepit old man?

Looking for this?

Yum yum, Miraculous!

You won't have any trouble getting rid of him, Feast!

Go and transform, quickly!

I'm the last of the Miraculous Guardians!

And I intend to accomplish my mission!

I'm not scared of you anymore!

Thank you, Ladybug.

I knew you'd make the right choice!

Come on Wayzz, shell--

-Aaah! -Master, your back!

You're too old to play superheroes!

We can handle this. Take the Miraculous Box and go hide!

Enjoy, Feast! They can't get away from you now!

[efforts of Marinette]

We have to find its Amok!

Except this Sentimonster isn't carrying any baggage!

Cover me!

Lucky Charm!

A metal detector?

When you created it, you put the Amok in your staff, right?

Correct!

Was it made out of metal, by any chance?

Partially, yes!

There are only two places your staff could be. Where the temple was, or...

[efforts of Cat Noir]

Hey!

Hurry, milady! This thing already swallowed my stick whole! Aaah!

Go hide, Master!

-You sure it's the right time, milady? -Ready to get the staff back?

-Oh, no, not the tongue! -[she laughs]

Yes! Great work, Feast!

Keep those two Miraculous nice and warm for me!

And enjoy the other ones. You've certainly earned them!

Yum yum! Miraculous!

Wow! It's bigger on the inside!

My stick!

What is that?

Is it digesting things or something?

Whatever he swallows gets sealed here forever.

We'd better hurry up and find out where the Master's staff is hiding!

[panting]

Farewell, my dear Wayzz!

You're the best kwami I could've ever hoped to have by my side all these years!

It's been an honour to be your kwami.

[signals]

I knew it!

It had to be intact, otherwise the Sentimonster would have disappeared!

Be careful what you wish for!

Cataclysm! [lively music]

[Wayzz] Ah!

No more evildoing for you!

[lively music]

Time to de-evilise!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly!

No! That's impossible!

I'm fine.

Miraculous Ladybug!

[soft music]

[together] Pound it!

Thank you, Ladybug.

Because of you, I won't have to run any more.

I only put your teaching to practice, Master.

I know two people who'd better run before they transform back.

Goodbye, Master.

Don't be bemused, it's just the news! "Extraordinary" and "inexplicable".

That sums up the surprising reappearance of this temple in Tibet,

years after it was destroyed!

Let's go to Clara Contard, on location.

That's correct. But what makes this phenomenon particularly unexplainable

is that all the monks who used to live--

Wow! The symbol of the Guardians!

I've gotta add this to the Ladyblog.

So, my mistake has been undone.

The monks have been freed and the temple has been restored.

I can't thank you enough, Marinette and Cat Noir.

I'm finally free from the burden of the past

that had been haunting me for so long.

I shall go and see them someday soon and explain everything to them.

Your training is complete, Marinette. You are now a fully-fledged Ladybug.

And the time has come for me to prepare you to become

the new Guardian.

The Guardian?

But, Master, you're the Guardian!

You have been for years!

Precisely! It's high time I handed it over.

You have proven that you are more worthy of it than I am.

In fact, your training is starting right now.

You will spend the next hours meditating with the Miracle Box,

without anything to eat.

Uh... actually, I... I need to help at the bakery!

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

I was joking!

Those strict traditions did no good when I was your age.

I have no intention of continuing them.

Instead, your first task will be to help me

carry these boxes to my van.

Now that Hawk Moth knows who I am, it's too dangerous for me to live here.

But don't worry, Marinette.

Whenever you and Cat Noir need me, I will always be here for you.

I'm not going anywhere until Hawk Moth is defeated. I'll never leave you.

I have not digested my defeat, Ladybug.

It's simply honed my appetite all the more.

But now that I know what the Guardian looks like,

I intend to put that knowledge to use

and prepare a dish of revenge especially for you.

And it shall be served...

very cold.

[lively music]
