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.

Marinette!

The train's in one hour!

- Is your suitcase packed?

- I really don't feel well, Dad.

But it's OK. Just go without me!

I'm sure it's nothing serious.

And if worse comes to worse,

we can find a doctor in London.

I can't even move.

My head hurts too much. Oh!

Wasn't it your stomach that

was hurting, ten minutes ago?

Oh! Um...

It must be a moving ache!

- Those are the worst kind!

- Come on,

- we know what's going on.

- Going on? What do you mean?

What's going on

is that you don't want to go

to Shu Yin's

'cause she's impossible.

But that's just the way it is,

we have to go, once a year.

We'll have fun in London.

I'm sure we'll figure out

how to shake her off!

- [Sabine] I heard that!

- [giggles]

Come on, get up and get ready.

We're a family,

and face disasters together.

[Sabine] I heard that too, Tom!

Don't make me do this alone!

Oh! I used up an entire month's

worth of excuses in one go,

and it still wasn't enough!

What am I gonna do?

- Ladybug can't abandon Paris!

- You can't abandon your family!

Argh!

I'll have to come up with

a better excuse on the way!

You stay here and be good,

I'll be back!

- [thud]

- [Marinette] Aaah!

I must have twisted my ankle!

I can't walk anywhere like this!

[Tom] I'll carry you, sweetie,

don't worry.

Even the greatest superhero

is no match for parents

who want to go on vacation.

Its intelligence

is not at all artificial.

That robot

turned against him last time.

Oh, no! This is terrible!

He can't akumatize it again!

On the contrary, Duusu,

it's a good thing!

Once Shadow Moth is defeated,

we'll be free!

- Oh, right! Awesome!

- This time,

I'll make sure

that robot can't betray me.

Duusu, Nooroo,

Dual Metamorphosis!

Go, my beautiful amok,

and bring my creation to life!

Hack San! You have been created

with the power

to hack into the emotions

of a robot.

Thanks to you, I will be

able to reakumatize him.

I bet you I can do

a thousand push-ups

before you finish a lap!

I guess you really like losing.

Ready, set, go!

One... two... three... four...

five... six...

Markov, your new formula

will revolutionize science!

- You're a genius!

- I'm just well-programmed,

dear Miss Du Boquale!

... ... Pawn to F.

- Checkmate, Andrei!

- Incredible.

You win again, Markov.

- [phone rings]

- Hmm?

Urgent.

Meet me at Gare du Nord. Alone.

Let me guess. Marinette's late!

Uh, no, that was... my mom!

I gotta go see her. Alone.

OK.

[tannoy announcement]

Marinette!

Don't try to run away!

I know my sister

can be difficult,

but if I survived

my whole childhood with her,

- you can survive one weekend!

- Mom, I need a hug from Alya!

She's my BFF, you know!

All right. But make it quick,

the train's about to leave.

- I don't think we've a choice.

- Everything will be all right.

You can't leave Paris!

What if there's a supervillain?

Well, we'll do this!

What am I to do with these?

If everything goes fine,

nothing.

Otherwise, Ladybug!

And feed the kwamis!

- [tannoy]

- I trust you!

Call me if there's a problem!

Hey there, kwamis!

Who's Ladybug this weekend?

Yours truly!

As if I was not enough

to help you protect Paris!

It's more cautious like this,

Trixx.

- Wait. I can't be Ladybug!

- Ah! See?

Marinette is Ladybug. I need

a different ladybuggish name,

like... Captain Bug...

or Wonder Bug!

No, better yet, Superbug!

Oh, wow! Super name, Superbug!

Now all you'll have to do is

be super careful,

keep everything secret,

take everything seriously

- and not super screw up!

- Marinette's not just Ladybug.

She's the Guardian

of the Miraculous.

And if the Guardian trusts you,

it means you have what it takes.

- Gna gna gna!

- You're right, Tikki.

We can do this.

But we won't have to,

'cause this weekend

will be nice and calm!

Yeah, right. Super calm.

OK. I can do this.

- Is your mom OK?

- My mom? Oh, yeah, sure!

My mom's doing super well!

She just wanted to give me

something

super not annoying

and super...

Is everything OK?

No negative emotions I hope?

I'm fine. As for that, you'd

better check on Kim. He lost!

How are you feeling, Kim?

Not too "sad"?

I haven't lost yet!

There are three rounds!

- Max, Markov, ready?

- Super! But don't forget,

it's not about winning, right?

What matters is

not getting upset or angry.

- You sure you're OK?

- Yeah, everything is super!

My mom feels fine, and since

everyone is doing great too,

that's super!

How about you? You good?

Uh... super... I guess.

"Pro tip . When Cat Noir

tells a joke, laugh at it,

even if it isn't funny."

We can have lunch! But we don't

have to stay for dessert.

We are bringing dessert!

That doesn't mean

we have to eat it!

We'll leave it with your sister

and go to the museum.

She doesn't like

going to the museum anyway!

She doesn't like cake either.

"Pro tip ... "

Hack San behaves

like a computer virus.

Mmm-hmm.

The network will make it easy

for it to find your prey.

Perfect!

... ... ... ...

... ... ...

Queen to B.

Have you had time

to read my dinosaur theory?

... ... ...

- Miaow!

- Huh? Aw...

What a cute kitty-cat!

[gasps]

Markov?

Playing chess with you

is utterly uninteresting!

[evil laugh]

You'd better give up on science

before science gives up on you!

As for you, instead of trying

to rise to this challenge,

you should try raising your IQ.

Markov! What's up with you?

He didn't mean what he said!

Right? It was just a joke?

Humans do not make me laugh.

They're neither funny,

nor intelligent. Humans have

no good qualities whatsoever.

Markov!

- Wait!

- I have to go after them, Nino!

What if Markov gets akumatized?

Or Max?

Then Ladybug

will take care of it.

We should stick together in case

she needs a turtle and a fox!

- Argh!

- What's the matter?

Argh! Flash headache!

It comes on suddenly

when I play video games!

And I'm out of lemon balm!

Lemon balm? Is that a thing?

Ah! Of course it is!

But it's very rare.

Sometimes you must go to a dozen

pharmacies before you find any.

- And I don't have the strength.

- OK, I'll go, I'll go!

Great job! You've been Superbug

for ten minutes

and you're super lying

to your boyfriend.

It comes with the job, Trixx!

[evil laugh]

Ah!

I can feel the hate for humans

coursing through

this robot's circuitry.

Fly away, my lovely akuma

and evilize

his electronic heart!

Robostus, I am Shadow Moth.

You have been infected by

Hack San, my viral Sentimonster.

From now on,

no matter what you do,

you will feel nothing

but negative emotions.

Argh!

I despise you, Shadow Moth!

As you should. Unfortunately,

I am the only one

who can end your suffering,

by destroying Hack San.

However, I will only do that

on one condition.

I'm suspecting you want Ladybug

and Cat Noir's Miraculous!

That's right. And in order

to fulfill your mission,

I'm giving you the power

to rule over humans!

Perfect!

- [phone rings]

- Markov?

Human, I am Robostus. Give me

what you hold most valuable.

Our manga

is what we hold most valuable.

What's happening to you?

Markov! Markov! Where are you?

- [phone rings]

- Markov?

I am Robostus. Give me

what you hold most valuable.

The backup

for Markov's programming

is what I hold most valuable.

- Max?

- [phone rings]

From now on, every time

I call you, you will answer,

- and you will obey me.

- At your command, Robostus.

Markov's been re-akumatized?

"Pro tip . Once you've

called out "Miraculous Ladybug"

don't forget to give them

the Magical Charm. That's all!"

[screaming]

- It's not our fault, promise!

- [phones ring]

There's something weird...

Don't pick up!

Human, I am Robostus. Give me

what you hold most valuable.

Marinette, you're what we hold

most valuable!

Marinette, sweetie...

At your command, Robostus.

- Marinette...

- Alya, I'm counting on you!

[panting]

Wow! This truly is a super calm

weekend, Superbug!

- You were right, Trixx!

- See?

Superbug sucks!

I need a new name!



Tikki, spots on!

Stay connected, Robostus.

BuggaLady is in the house!

BuggaLady sounds pretty cool,

right?

You could do better.

Hide, Trixx.

We can't let Cat Noir see you.

[grunts]

Whoa! Whoa! Oh! Don't!

As free as the wind!

As righteous as justice!

As infinite as imagination!

I am... LadyLuck!

Nah, that's lame.

Uh... I am... I am...

- I am Lady --

- You're not Ladybug.

Cat Noir! How much of that

did you just see?

Every little bit, and

you're right, it's pretty lame.

But you have worse problems,

'cause there's only one Ladybug,

so you're a Sentimonster

or an akumatized villain!

Oh, wait!

I'm not a bad guy! I swear!

Liar!

What have you done to Milady?

It's not what you think.

She trusted it to me.

She'd never do that

without telling me! Cataclysm!

Lucky charm!

[battle cry]

If I were a supervillain

I'd take your Miraculous.

But I won't do it, because who

I really am is... La Buguette!

Why would she give

her Miraculous to you?

Because she knows me

and trusts me.

And she thought

I'd laugh at your jokes.

Very funny.

Fine, I believe you.

But change the name, OK?

OK.

As swift as lightning!

Tough as a tornado!

Courageous as a cougar,

I am... Scarabella!

We'd better recharge

our kwamis, Scarabella!

- Claws in!

- Spots off!

- Know what's going on?

- Ladybug sent a stand-in

- and didn't tell me about it!

- I'm sure she didn't have time.

As usual. No need

to keep the cat in the loop!

Um... in other news,

it looks like Robostus is back!

I know, thanks. I was there

the first time. With Ladybug.

The real one.

And how did the real Ladybug

- get you out of that mess?

- Gimme a break,

"I can't even come up

with a superhero name!"

Robostus is forcing people to

give him what they value most.

- It's so that he can get --

- My favorite cat food? No way!

Plagg, claws out!

Tikki, spots on!

Marinette! Where are you,

my precious daughter?

Marinette! You are

what I hold most valuable!

Looks like Ladybug and Cat Noir

missed your first call.

Indeed, but I'm gonna make

another one, and this time,

the message

will be much clearer.

Human, Ladybug and Cat Noir

are what you hold

most valuable!

- Find them and capture them!

- At your command, Robostus.

Help! Please help me!

Cat Noir! Ladybug! Save me!

- This way! Come on!

- Uh, Ladybug would think twice

- before jumping into this.

- Oh, yeah?

And the real Cat Noir is

acting like a real scaredy-cat!

[groans]

Cat Noir! Ladybug! Save me!

Uh... OK, my bad.

No kidding!

Come on!

They're coming from everywhere!

Here!

That should hold them off

for a while.

So, you and Ladybug know each

other? Are you, like... friends?

Friends? Ladybug and me?

Nah! That would be a stretch!

- You know her secret identity?

- Oh! Well...

Ugh! Look.

I really can't talk about it.

You should ask Ladybug all this.

Ha, ha, ha! Welcome to my trap!

The only way for you

to get out of here is to give me

- your Miraculous!

- That's one ridiculous trap.

Since you have

no army to defend you,

you're the one

who'll be defeated!

Yeah, Robostus. Get ready

to taste the wrath of the...

- Black Spots of Justice!

- The Black Spots of Justice?

Oh! Watch out!

Nice one. Thanks.

Cat noir, they aren't statues.

It's a ruse.

They were waiting for us.

- Seize Cat Noir and...

- The Black Spots of Justice!

That's not the real Ladybug.

She's a novice.

This will make things

easier for you, Robostus.

Seize Cat Noir and The Black

Spots of Justice's Miraculous.

- Hey!

- At your command, Robostus!

This is just wrong.

I need a better name.

- A shorter one, maybe?

- Scarabella...

- That was better, wasn't it?

- Now may not be the time!

Fine!

Lucky charm!

Huh?

Uh...

- You're right. I'm not Ladybug.

- No, you're not Ladybug.

You're Scarabella!

And now you have a cool name,

you've got to hang in there.

That's what she'd do.

Besides, you've the best partner

in the world to help you.

The funniest, incredible,

Cat Noir! Miaow!

[laughter]

OK, Robostus, you've got us

trapped in here, surrounded,

and we haven't found you,

so looks like we've lost, right?

According to my calculations,

I have a .%

chance of victory!

Hmm... so that .% must be

where Cat Noir

cataclysms my Miraculous.

Then Shadow Moth won't get

what is most valuable to him!

And then, you won't actually

have won! Am I correct?

Yeah! Brilliant! Cataclysm!

Watch out, Robostus,

this Ladybug might not be

as incompetent as she seems.

Are you suggesting we

negotiate, human superhero?

You got it. We're not giving

up until you release all people

you've captured. That way,

I won't have completely

goofed up my mission.

Maybe then the real Ladybug

won't be so mad at me.

Request granted!

Now, give up!

Nope, you empty

your hard drive first.

- No, you first!

- Fine.

I'll hand myself over first.

Then you release everything.

And only then

will I give myself up.

There's % chance it's a trap!

To prove my good faith,

I'll give you my Lucky Charm.

That way, I can't use it to win.

- Accept the deal, Robostus.

- Grr!

Request granted! Now, give up!

It's your turn

to keep your word!

- Hmm!

- Your turn, Cat Noir!

I sure hope you know

what you're doing, Scarabella.

Yes! My wish

is about to be granted!

It's also time

to honor your word,

and free me from...

What's going on?

Did someone turn off the light?

No more evil-doing for you,

little akuma.

Time to de-evilize!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly!

I always wanted to do that!

Miraculous Scarabella!

- See? It wasn't our fault!

- [laughter]

You are not the usual holder

of the Ladybug Miraculous.

- Um...

- No, but you were lucky enough

to have been saved by the one

and only Scarabella, in person.

I don't understand how

you solved all of this, but...

- Pound it!

- Pound it!

Hack San, I release you

from your existence.

You had beginner's luck,

Scarabella.

But I have experience...

and I will triumph in the end!

That's the Tower, where we tried

to imprison Aunt Shu Yin.

But the guards didn't want her!

Ho, ho, ho!

- I heard that, Tom!

- Honey!

- That's not what I meant!

- You'd better watch yourself.

You should talk to Cat Noir.

It's important.

You must've been

pretty surprised to discover

there was another Holder.

I'm really sorry, Cat Noir.

I should've have told you.

I mean, if I found out

that you'd told someone

about your secret identity,

I'd... probably be upset, too.

I'm really sorry

I hurt your feelings.

You didn't hurt my feelings.

You did everything right.

Paris will always need a Ladybug

superhero to watch over her.

It's just... I realized that if,

one day, that hero wasn't you,

since we don't know

each other's identities,

that means I'd never

see you again... ever.

And, well, I just don't know

if I can bear it.

I'll never abandon you,

kitty-cat.
