05x13 - Migration

[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've got a secret.

Miraculous, someday the best, up to the best when things go wrong.

Miraculous, the luckiest, the power of love always so strong.

Miraculous, Miraculous

Marinette, you're going to be really late.

I don't want to go to school, Mom. I'm not feeling well.

So?

I need some time. Why don't you bake her some chouquettes? I'm sure she'd like that.

You can't stay in your room forever.

What will you do if an akumatized villain shows up?

Just give my Miraculous to whoever you want, Tiki. They can never be as bad as I was.

Nothing ever works out for me. Adrian never even started.

Luca couldn't work out. Cat Noir didn't even get off the ground.

I'm so pathetic.

Of course not. You're an amazing ladybug.

What I am is just a normal girl with a normal life.

But there's something about me that no one knows yet. I'm pathetic.

You're overreacting, Marinette.

Really? Then how come I lost the Miraculous I was entrusted with all because of love?

Love only ever causes problems. I'll never fall in love again. Love is weak.

And I can't be sad about it, otherwise I might get akumatized.

It's Alia, your best friend. She was a superhero once. She'll know how to make you feel better.

If I talk to her, she'll catch my weakness.

Leave a message after the beep beep.

She's not picking up.

That reminds me of the good old times when Du Pen Cheng had to ask for my permission to show up at school.

Alia, would you mind taking this homework to Marinette, please?

Yes, Ms. Bussier.

I can't. Busy. But maybe Adrian?

Adrian, would you mind taking this homework to Marinette, please?

Yes, of course.

I'm sure Cat Noir is the reason Marinette's feeling bad.

You do know that you're Cat Noir, right?

I do, but Marinette doesn't. She has no idea.

Well, that's what happens when superheroes flirt. Poor Marinette fell in love with Cat Noir and got her heart broken.

Yeah, that was terrible of me.

It was?

I have to do everything I can to cheer her up. High plaque.

Someone here to see you, sweetheart?

Tell Alia I'm contagious. She'll catch my weakness.

I caught it a while ago, Marinette. So I'm safe.

Adrian? You should be at school.

So should you, Marinette. Can I come in?

Okay.

Looks like you're not doing too great. Can I help you?

No one can help me, because no one will ever truly know me.

You know, not a lot of people know who I really am, either.

What people know of me is just an advertising image.

But you and me, we could be different. If you wanted to, we could really get to know each other.

No, they can't really get to know each other. What's he up to?

I can't let anyone love me. And I never will, even if he were nice, sweet, and generous, and handsome, and brave, even if he were you.

I'm sure I could understand if you would just explain things to me.

We have to step in.

We can't. They can't know that they're Ladybug and Cat Noir.

No one can understand what I'm going through.

Marinette, you can tell me anything. Before anything else, I'll always be your friend.

And I... before anything else... I'll always be...

I... I will... I'll always be... I'll always be a failure, living a lie, never succeeding at what I set out to do.

I don't care, Marinette. I love you just the way you are.

I don't love you. I've had feelings for you, Adrien, but I don't anymore. It's better that way.

Leave a message after the beep. Beep.

Alia, did you hear Marinette's voicemail message?

Yeah, but that was before, Zoe.

Before? Before what?

Before, when Marinette was a complete wreck.

But Alia sent her the perfect mechanic.

Adrien!

He's fixing her up as we speak.

Wow, and when they come back to school, they'll finally be an item!

A perfect plan.

But you guys don't actually know for sure.

Trust me, this is it this time.

Come on, party with us!

I feel like we've missed out on something, don't you?

Maybe.

You think we'll get another chance one day?

No.

You know, Adrien, sometimes when you want to mature a cheese the right way...

Not now.

I'm sorry.

The despair of a boy who has just discovered love, only to find he has already lost it.

Adrien...

Darkwing's fall.

Sugarcube, having to force them to choose between love and their mission is just awful.

Maybe Master Fu was wrong about that.

No, they're made for each other. Love is what gives them their strength.

But the impossible part of that love is destroying them, and I know a thing or two about destruction.

What can we do?

We must free them of that impossible choice.

We must free them of us.

They're finally going to live out their dreams!

Now we can stop walking on eggshells.

I can't believe how long it took them to tell each other how they feel.

Precisely, days since Adrien came to school. That's months and days.

Not now.

Has anyone actually talked to them yet?

No news.

It's good news.

Okay, Alliance, call Adrien.

You'll disturb them!

Just so Zoe can relax.

Aren't you taking your friend's call?

I really don't feel like talking.

He'll get worried.

Reassure him for me, please, Natalie.

Hello?

Hey! Hello, ma'am. Is Adrien okay?

He was just feeling a little tired, so he came home.

He's resting now.

Okay, thank you, ma'am. Tell him his friend said hi.

I guess Marinette and Boys is a truly hopeless case.

Your son isn't feeling well.

I know.

Don't take advantage of his distress.

I'm not a monster. I'm just here to comfort him. I'm his father, am I not?

I'm sorry I'm not at school.

I'm not here to reprimand you, Adrien.

I know what it's like to have a broken heart.

Even though you aren't very fond of the Alliance ring,

it would really make me feel more comfortable as a father if you'd wear one.

That way you can reach me any time.

And unlike a phone, there's no risk of losing it.

There are even applications to help soothe your pain.

On a scale of one to five, how would you rate your heartache?

Thank you, Dad.

Alliance, please turn off the app.

Marinette DuPain Cheng, you have been an exemplary holder of the Miraculous of the Ladybug.

You've always used the power of creation for the greater good.

Adrien Agrest, you have been an exemplary holder of the Miraculous of the Black Cat.

You've always used the power of destruction for the greater good.

I wish I could say the same about me.

The task you were performing so well has become too much of a burden crushing you.

Your mission is now over.

But Monarch...

Someone will succeed you.

You won't have to hide anything anymore from the ones you love.

You can finally be yourself.

You don't have to do this, Gigi.

This means you can finally be in love with Adrien.

This means you can tell Marinette all your silly, soppy feelings.

We'll see each other again, right, Gigi?

I'll never forget you, Marinette.

You'll never forget me, Adrien.

Adrien's sadness is even greater than before.

Now that he has an alliance, he will make an even more powerful akumatized villain.

Kalki...

Your power is mine!

Voyage, my megakuma!

What's happening?

I no longer feel his negative emotions.

He didn't accept my application!

Nora! You should have done this!

What a powerful negative emotion.

Let's take a closer look.

So much anger in one single person, with five alliances to boot?

Rejoice, dear kwamis.

Five alliances enables as many miraculous powers to transfer at the same time.

This villain promises to be exceptional!

I forgot to give you your homework.

You know, earlier, I... I didn't mean what I said.

I was feeling down. I told you horrible things because I just wanted to be alone.

So, when you said that you used to love me, that wasn't true?

No, no, of course I love... I love... I love... I love...

Are you okay?

No, no, wait, wait, I can do this. I... I love...

I can't do this! What is wrong with me?

You don't have to tell me anything if you can't.

Hold on, I have an idea. I'm gonna ask you some questions.

Raise your right hand for yes, and your left hand for no.

Marinette!

Did you ever love me?

You also said that you'd no longer love me.

If that wasn't true, does that mean that you still love me?

No, wait! I always confuse my left and right.

If you need more time...

More time with me?

Thanks for bringing my homework.

I'm really glad that I did.

Marinette and Adrian are bummed out.

And at home.

We need to put our brains together and come up with a plan to save their love. Any ideas?

Okay, let's go over the basics again. Easy. Marinette is in love with Adrian.

And Adrian is in love with Marinette.

So then what's the problem? I mean, it doesn't get any simpler than that.

Jesus, you never pick up the phone when I actually need your advice.

I couldn't pick up. I'm at school.

Yeah, right. So you see, I had no choice but to deal with it myself.

Oh no, Nora, I told you before. You gotta talk before you act.

Yeah, but I did talk. Like, I said stuff in front of the cookies, bros.

Nora, not talk like that.

And I think I might have put him on the spot on social media. Like, the thing is, I think I've upset Cookie.

Oh no, Nora, you can't do stuff like that.

I found my holder, Plaque.

So have I.

Oh no, you know, you're in love. We'd run into the same problems.

Why don't we start by asking their opinions before we make any plans?

I found my holder.

Alliance, please call Marinette.

Leave a message after the beep. Beep.

Marinette, it's Zoey. I know how complicated love can be.

I'll be outside your building if you want to talk.

Alia, I need you.

Tiki? Did something happen to Marinette?

No, she's fine. I reclaimed the miraculous from her so she can live her love story with Adrian.

Oh, Tiki. And what are you going to do now?

I have to choose a new holder.

Oh.

And you once were a successful holder. I feel safe with you. I know you'll find the strength to shoulder such responsibility.

What am I going to do about Nino?

It would be best if you didn't tell him.

I don't know if I can, Tiki. I don't like hiding things from my boyfriend.

I understand.

If I do it, you really think Marinette will have a chance to have her love story with Adrian?

Then if it means my BFF can be happy, I accept.

Right, so I guess I'll go?

Oh, sure.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I think you're going to have to wait a little while before you head back home.

Yeah, let's wait until Ladybug's taken care of this villain.

Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Head of the ball!

Scarabella's back.

But Cat Noir isn't there.

I'm sure everything's going to be okay.

Who are you?

Who are you?

I am Kiku!

Maybe we should get the introductions for now?

Why don't we start by calming down Kiku?

Sorry.

No problem. That's why there's two of us, so we can help each other.

Thanks.

That's impossible. He's got multiple miraculous powers working at the same time.

Teleportation super punch.

Don't make Kiku angry!

And the protection shield.

He has to protect his headgear because that's where the Akuma is.

Approved.

It's like he's invulnerable.

I guess he is.

Muro, your power is now mine.

Transfer.

Dear Kiku, I'm offering you the power of multiplication as a bonus, but in return you must bring me your opponent's miraculous.

Kiku is the strongest! Multitude!

To destroy his headgear, we have to destroy the shield.

But since he's invulnerable...

We can't destroy the shield.

There's only one solution. We get him to drop it himself.

Lucky Charm!

Looks like we're going to land on our feet after all.

That's right. Here's the plan.

Oh no! You're so scary, Kiku!

Aha! She's afraid of Kiku! Chicken!

Can you believe her? Just let her go. She's no match for you, Cookie.

Not Cookie! Me, Kiku!

Yeah, right. It's you and me now. I mean, me and the three of you.

Kiku, wanna hit the button?

Give me your miraculous ladybug!

Ow! My shield!

No more evil doing for you, Megakuma.

Time to be evilized!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, Butterfly.

Geez, Cookie. You went bananas again.

Huh? Hey, come on. I didn't do anything.

Uh-huh.

Did I?

You were akumatized.

And pretty angry, too.

That was her fault. She better pull out of me.

Oh, yeah? Well, better be respectful when you talk to me, then.

Maybe you two should try to keep your emotions in check when you're communicating.

Miraculous Scarabella!

Oh, sorry.

That's okay. I don't know what happened to the other ladybug in Cat Noir, but these new heroes seem pretty amazing, don't you think?

So... it's safe now?

Yeah. The coast is clear.

Oh. That means you can head home.

Yeah. But I'll see you tomorrow at school?

Huh?

Yes.

Warning threshold exceeded. Data beyond normal human capabilities have been recorded on two alliances.

Sometimes change is good.
