05x11 - Deflagration (The Kwamis' Choice - Part 2)

[bunniefuu]

[narrating] 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.

'Cause I've got a secret.

[theme song playing]

♪ Miraculous!

Simply the best! ♪

♪ Up to the test when things go wrong! ♪

♪ Miraculous, the luckiest! ♪

♪ The power of love, always so strong! ♪

♪ Miraculous ♪

♪ Miraculous ♪

Were Ladybug and Cat Noir

forced to step down

after Monarch stole several

Miraculous from them?

I'm sure you'll understand

we can't answer that question,

but Ladybug and Cat Noir

have nothing to feel guilty about.

We'll accomplish our mission

just like they did

because the goal we all share

is to defeat Monarch.

Or perhaps Ladybug and Cat Noir

renounced their mission

so they could finally

live their love story?

They were never in love

or in a relationship

-and neither are we.

-So far anyway.

Of course not. We just met.

-[Clara] So what should we call you?

-Scarabella.

-Nice to meet you.

-Kitty Noire.

-I've got a feeling we're gonna get along.

-I'm sure we will.

-[both grunt]

-[Clara] Oh!

Well, Clara, seems like Paris now has

two heroines with strong personalities.

Let's wish the best of luck

to Scarabella and Kitty Noire.

[sighs]

[Scarabella] Whoo-hoo!

Spots off.

So tell me, Tikki. How'd I do?

You were fantastic, Alya. [sighs]

Oh, it's the interview, wasn't it?

-Did I say something wrong?

-No, no, you were perfect.

It's just I was thinking about Marinette.

I hope she's okay.

Alya, Alya! Marinette's here!

-She brought chouquettes.

-[Alya gasps]

-Marinette.

-[children cheer]

Enjoy, you little tornadoes.

[both] Yay!

[giggling]

[Alya sighs]

Tikki couldn't have made a better choice

to replace Ladybug.

-Oh, Marinette. [giggles]

-Well done, Tikki.

Wow. This morning,

my BFF couldn't leave her bed,

drowning in her own tears,

and suddenly now look at those

happy dry eyes and rosy cheeks.

-Did we miss an episode or something?

-Adri-mine-- Adrien.

You left your bag at my place?

-He left his bag at her place?

-Hmm.

[Marinette] Yes.

No, you can't come over. Uh--

No, no. No, nothing serious.

I'm just, uh, shaving my socks.

I just hate lint.

Sure, okay.

I'll bring you your bag tomorrow.

Oh, shaving my socks? That makes no sense.

I can't believe myself sometimes.

How many episodes did I miss?

What? No, there's been no new episode.

Then how did we go from

"I'm pathetic and I'll never love again"

to "Yay, I'm going out with Adrien"?

I'm not going out with Adrien.

Hmm. But he did leave his bag.

So he was over there, wasn't he?

[gasps]

-Did you guys kiss?

-No.

-Did you at least hold hands?

-No, we didn't.

Ah, I got it.

You finally told him you loved him.

Uh, that's not exactly how it went.

So then exactly how did it go?

Well, I raised my right hand or the left.

Sometimes both. I don't know.

All right. So then I didn't miss anything.

We're just back at episode one.

How's the new holder

of the black cat Miraculous?

You think he can handle Monarch?

How about you?

You can't tell a thing to Nino.

You sure it's gonna be okay?

Stop worrying about this stuff.

Secret identities, the w*r on Monarch,

that's all Scarabella

and Kitty Noire's problem now.

You no longer have to worry about

losing your Miraculous because of love.

Just focus on Adrien.

I'm sure you can do better than raising

your hand whenever he talks to you.

[sighs]

-[footsteps land]

-Claws in.

Panache and repartee.

You have my congratulations.

You only lack one thing keeping you

from being the perfect holder.

-A cheese cellar.

-Then you'll be happy, Plagg.

I live in a hotel and the restaurant

has the largest cheese cellar in Paris.

[echoing] Largest cheese cellar in Paris.

Largest cheese cellar in Paris.

-Largest cheese cellar in Paris.

-[stammering]

-But you'll have to be very careful.

-Careful is my middle name. [sighs]

[elevator dings]

[grunts]

[chuckles]

-What are you doing here?

-[gasps]

You and your dirty sneakers

are not allowed inside the restaurant.

The half-of-a-sister zone is limited to

the freight elevator, back stairs

and the broom closets.

Get ready to move back to New York.

Mom!

I'm sorry, Chloé. It won't happen again.

What can I do to make it up to you?

Hmm…

[groaning]

[grunts]

[sniffing]

So it smells just like cheese

but it's not cheese?

And it needs cleaning too?

How about I Cataclysm

that sister of yours instead?

[screams]

It's pointless, Plagg.

Zoé, you can't let them

treat you that way.

No one speaks to me like that.

Just ask the T. rexes.

That is if you can find one, because

they're not so smug anymore now, are they?

It's best to stay out of trouble

in this family

if I'm going to protect

my secret identity.

You start by giving up cheese

and then you end up giving up on

dignity, freedom and justice.

I feel like you like to blow things

out of proportion, don't you?

Yes. Especially when I'm starving.

-[stomach growls]

-Hmm.

[swing music playing]

What has gotten into you?

[sniffs] Can you smell that, Nathalie?

Don't tell me you've been

making pancakes again?

-No, Nathalie. Even better.

-[gasps]

-[Gabriel sighs]

-Warning threshold exceeded.

Data beyond normal human capabilities

have been recorded on two Alliances.

Between : p.m. and : p.m.,

Alya Césaire traveled . kilometers.

Zoé Lee traveled . kilometers.

Their routes were % identical.

Meet the new holders of the Miraculous,

Scarabella and Kitty Noire.

Congratulations, Gabriel.

Now I just need the right combination

of powers to deceive them.

Can you smell it now, Nathalie?

The smell of victory.

Hmm.

The day has come, my love.

Soon, the Miraculous of the ladybug

and the black cat will be mine.

I will finally unite them

and make my wish.

We'll be together again at long last.

I miss you, Emilie.

But I'm so scared of the price Gabriel

is willing to pay to bring you back.

The world is about to change, dear Kwamis.

And you are going to play your parts

in this metamorphosis here by my side.

You always say that and you always lose.

You're not very kind, Roarr.

But until now I did not know the secret

identities of the Miraculous holders.

[Kwamis gasping, groaning]

That's impossible. He's lying.

We have to seize opportunities

and we learn from our mistakes, don't we?

I'll start by Akumatizing someone

to force the new holders,

Alya Césaire and Zoé Lee,

to turn into Scarabella and Kitty Noire.

Nooroo, dark wings rise.

Then I'll freeze them

when they try to transform.

-Pollen.

-[whimpering]

[Monarch] Your power is now mine.

And I'll be able to catch them both

at once, for I'll be many.

-Mullo, your power is now mine.

-[gasps]

They won't see me coming,

for I'll be invisible.

Orikko, your power is now mine.

No one will be able to harm me,

for I will be invulnerable.

Stompp, your power is mine too.

And of course I will be elusive.

-Kaalki, your power is now mine.

-[gasps]

Voyage!

-What can we do, Sass?

-Nothing, I'm afraid, Daizzi.

[heroic music playing on radio]

We never knew who Ladybug

and Cat Noir were and we never will.

Today, we pay tribute to them.

The Miraculous having been passed on

to new holders doesn't change anything,

for our support isn't a matter of people,

but one of principle,

and that principle is called freedom.

Speaking of which,

Comrade Beurre Maître d'Hôtel

is about to change the Ladyblog

into the Scarablog

and do a story on the new superheroes

to show our support.

[music stops]

I wonder what happened to Ladybug.

I hope Cat Noir is okay.

[gasps]

I'm sure he is.

[shouts, giggles]

[Nino] Thanks to Max and Markov,

we finally set up

the anti-Akumatization system.

Markov installed an app

on your Alliances or smartphones.

You can activate it if you see someone

being Akumatized at school.

If you press here,

a signal is sent to this box,

which broadcasts the warning music,

written by Kitty Section,

throughout the school.

[rock music playing on speakers]

-[Alya] Awesome!

-[students cheering]

-[Adrien] Whoo!

-[Rose] Cool! Yeah!

Then Kim, Mylene and Ivan

will take care of evacuating the school,

while Rose, Juleka, Zoé and Max

try to stop Monarch's victim

from being Akumatized.

Lastly, Nath, Adrien, Marinette, Alya

and I will gear up with paintballs

so we're ready to fight back in case

there's no way to stop the Akumatization.

[bell rings]

For every minute we're late

to the cafeteria,

we have a % less chance

of getting fries.

[students panting]

Why weren't we picked?

We clearly rocked as Rena Rouge

and Carapace, right?

You'd have made an awesome Ladybug.

It's better this way.

We would have had to lie to each other

to protect our secret identities.

[kisses] Well, it's okay.

You don't have to be super to be my hero.

Hmm.

[sighs]

[Monarch] All I have to do now is wait

for a negative emotion.

They shouldn't take long

in a school. Multitude.

[panting]

Hmm.

[sighs]

Never before has pasteurization

tasted so much like freedom.

Thanks, Adrien.

-Yeah!

-[Nino] Yes.

[Rose] Yay! [giggles]

Did you see today's lunch salad

is heart of palm?

Yes, palms. They remind me of the beach.

[sighs] What about the hearts?

Do they remind you of something?

Of course they do.

They remind me of the heart of the beach.

-[splats]

-[chuckles]

[Adrien gasps]

[both chuckle]

[footsteps approaching]

You're very generous

to let Marinette get so close to Adrien.

"Generous"? What does that mean?

Alliance, define "generous."

I'm having trouble

understanding your question.

Ugh. That thing never works. Sabrina!

Alliance, please define "generous."

Giving freely and lavishly.

Lavishly? Freely? Ew!

There is no way I'm being generous.

-I am going to destroy Dupain-Cheng.

-[Lila] Hmm.

[Marinette grunting]

Are you okay, Marinette?

If you're not ready, you don't have to.

No! I can do this.

You know,

we can just be friends, if you prefer.

No! No, I don't want to

be friends with you.

Oh. I see.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

[grunts] My hand will obey me.

[screams, grunts]

[groans]

So, finally back where you belong,

baker girl?

Crawling at my feet, of course.

Chloé, go back to your seat, please.

Don't be so nice to the baker girl,

Adrikins.

You're giving her false hope,

because, you know what?

No, you'll never guess.

It's so ridiculous.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

is in love with you. [cackles]

You can't reveal someone's secret

to everyone, Chloé.

It's really mean.

A baker girl who thinks she's good enough

to be with a rich and famous model.

What a joke. It's funny, right?

Right?

Sabrina?

Oh, yes. Very funny, Chloé.

That's enough, Chloé.

Leave 'em alone, Chloé.

You're not laughing

because she's missing something.

A piece of humble pie.

Get it? 'Cause she's a baker girl. [gasps]

Should I call Mom

and have you sent back to the hole

you should never have crawled out of?

Maybe I'll go back to New York, maybe not.

But what's for sure is you're going back

to your seat and leaving Marinette alone!

[scoffs] You're worse than her.

-[Alya] Way to go, Zoé!

-Yeah!

-Yes!

-Good job.

And you all.

You're even worse than they are.

I'll crush you all.

[sighs]

[snarls]

Dear Chloé's humiliation

is exactly what I need.

Fly, my Megakuma.

Chloé's about to get Akumatized!

[Monarch] Sole Destroyer, I am Monarch.

What do we do?

The Resistance has only one enemy:

Monarch.

[beeping]

It's not working!

It's okay. You all know what to do.

[students grunting]

[screaming]

-[grunts]

-[gasps]

[whimpers]

♪ Chloé, you're so pretty

I'm just a shoe, what a pity ♪

♪ Sole Destroyer is your name

Crushing us is your vile game ♪

[laughing]

Soon you'll all be at my feet.

Our plan is in motion. Fall in!

[Alya panting]

Don't run, Dupain-Cheng.

I'll help you finally find

a shoe that fits. [cackles]

[gasps]

[panting]

Your intervention had as much character

as a gourmet Camembert.

I wish it didn't have to come to this,

but I didn't have a choice.

-Plagg, claw--

-[Monarch] Venom!

[screams]

One down.

-Tikki, spots--

-[Monarch] Venom!

Two down.

Voyage!

Fall in.

I've waited long enough for this moment.

My wish is within my grasp!

[clicks]

Cataclysm!

-Oh…

-What's going on?

[Plagg] Quick, fly away!

Nooroo, Tikki, Plagg, unify!

[Tikki gasps]

I'll take care of Monarch!

-There's nothing you can do against him--

-Not against him!

But he wasn't wearing our Miraculous

when he made himself invulnerable.

You can't do that, Plagg.

Don't worry, Sugarcube.

We'll see each other again.

You know that you and I are one.

Do your lucky charm for Ladybug.

-You mean Scarabella?

-No, I mean Ladybug.

Lucky charm!

[pigeon coos]

[Plagg grunts, shouts]

[Plagg and Tikki straining]

Cataclysm!

[Plagg, Tikki screaming]

[students screaming]

A lucky charm?

This looks like the trash cans

we have in our restroom. [gasps]

Alya!

[grunts, gasps]

[crackling, bubbling]

[gasps]

[Tikki gasps]

[grunts]

[gasps]

[Monarch] You stay here.

-[line ringing]

-[gasps]

[Alya through phone] Hey, it's Alya.

Leave a message and stay connected.

[gasps]

Dude, why aren't the new superheroes

here already? What's going on?

They're probably busy

somewhere else in Paris.

[grunts] Hmm.

Alya?

[gasps]

Okay, you're frozen, untransformed,

Eiffel Towers are sprouting around Paris,

and I'm the one with the lucky charm.

So Tikki unleashed the power herself,

which Kwamis never do because of

the devastating consequences that has.

The situation must be desperate,

otherwise they wouldn't have done this.

You didn't have time to react.

The door is locked from the inside,

so trapping you would have required

the power of teleportation.

[gasps] Oh, no. Monarch!

I'll come back for you, Alya.

♪ Chloé, you're so pretty

I'm just a shoe ♪

-Where'd Marinette go?

-And Alya?

Dude, they must have been hit

by Sole Destroyer.

[phone ringing]

Monarch appears to be alone, Nadja,

standing in a huge crater

that devastated Arènes de Lutèce.

Even more troubling

are the earrings he's wearing.

Could this explain the absence

of Scarabella?

Could Monarch have succeeded

in seizing her Miraculous?

What if our superheroes don't show up?

Then that leaves the Resistance,

Comrade Mayo.

You're right, Comrade Ketchup.

Time to work my magic.

What's happening? And where's Plagg?

-[whimpers]

-I order you to answer me.

When Plagg Cataclysmed his Miraculous,

the ring,

it destroyed his only means

to communicate with the human world.

I need both Miraculous to make my wish.

How do I bring the ring

and the Kwami to me?

You need to repair everything

by tossing the lucky charm in the air

and saying the magic words.

Where is the lucky charm?

I command you to tell me.

I entrusted it to the universe.

It is where it is supposed to be.

But I don't know where that is.

I'm here, Tikki.

Everything's gonna be okay!

Ladybug? I thought I was done with you.

I'm afraid your dreams

haven't come true yet, Monarch.

You no longer have any powers.

Your earrings and your Kwami are mine now.

[Ladybug] But you have a problem.

By using their powers without a holder,

the Kwamis have triggered

a series of events that will destroy Paris

and then the world

if I don't call up my Miraculous Ladybug.

And only the person with the lucky charm

can do it.

You need to give back my earrings

and Tikki so I can fix everything.

That will also fix Cat Noir's ring,

won't it?

Yes.

In that case,

voyage!

[gasps, grunts]

Nooroo, Tikki, unify!

Watch me make my dreams come true.

Miraculous Monarchbug!

-What?

-Impressive!

-[shouts]

-[grunts]

[screams]

Venom!

[Nino grunts]

[students] Charge!

[all grunting]

Let go of her or we'll turn you

into singing shoes!

[Rose gasps]

Huh? What in the-- Let go of me!

[Ladybug and Monarch groan]

[shouts, grunts]

-You're up, Ladybug.

-Thanks, comrade.

Tikki, spots on!

Miraculous Ladybug!

[grunts]

[gasps] You reconfigured the Miraculous?

I'm more powerful than you'll ever be,

Ladybug.

Multitude! Voyage!

[Rose grunts]

Fall in!

You can't win, Ladybug.

It's just a matter of time.

You won't always have someone to help you.

-[Ladybug panting] Is anybody hurt?

-No. Thanks, Ladybug.

No. Thank you.

You can always count on us.

[all] Pound it!

How did Monarch manage to discover

the secret identities

of the holders we chose so quickly?

I'm sure we didn't make a mistake.

-We're going to have to find new holders.

-We don't know how Monarch did it.

But we do know he doesn't know

who Ladybug and Cat Noir are.

Otherwise we would have lost long ago.

But if you take your Miraculous back,

then you'll no longer be able

to have your love story,

and you'll be sad again.

But we will win, Tikki.

-I know we will.

-[Alya sighs]

Go and give this ring back to Cat Noir.

If it's okay with you,

I'd like to say goodbye

to Kitty Noire first.

Of course, Plagg.

[Zoé sighs]

Chloé was right. I'm ridiculous.

You're not. You were fantastic.

What you did in the cafeteria was heroic

and you weren't even wearing

a superhero suit.

Don't ever let anyone

step all over you again, Zoé.

From now on, you call the sh*ts.

-[Zoé] Mmm.

-[sighs]

-[Zoé] Hmm.

-[gasps]

It was an honor to be your Kwami.

[sighs]

I feel like there's only one formula

that works, kitten.

I guess so. You and me against Monarch.

You, me, our Kwamis and the Resistance.

Without them,

Monarch would have won today.

-To our Kwamis.

-And the Resistance.
