03x13 - Desperada

Post by bunniefuu »

In the daytime,
I'm Marinette.


Just a normal girl
with a normal life.


But there's something about e 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! ♪
Ugh!

You're so talented!

How long have you
been playing for?

Since I was in diapers!

I get the feeling
Marinette likes Luka a lot!

At least she can have
a conversation with him

without getting all
bla-bla-bla-bla!

I can say you mean
not like when she's with Adrien?

And at least Luka gets
to go out whenever he wants!

Thank you.

- They're so cute together!
- So true.

- Sure are!
- You think?

I agree. They seem
to get along very well.

- Adrien? Kagami?
- Your father let you out?

We're officially
at fencing practice right now.

But... Oh, no! Kagami,
isn't this the wrong address?

Oh, dear!
I think you're right!

[laughter]

It's a good thing
Adrien's found someone

he can get out
of the house with, at last!

Hi, Adrien! It's cool
you couldn't come alone.

I mean,
you came with someone.

Hey, Kakamoo, uh,
Kamoogi... uh, Kagami!

Nice to see you too, Marinette.

Have you come to watch
your boyfriend rehearse?

I-I will not be
your second choice!

But you've always been
my muse. Please.

Kagami might be onto something,
you know?

Luka? You know
he's just a friend.

You know you were
my first choice!

You are the only one, Nanarky!

- Nanarky?
- You can't fool me, pirate!

I bet you threw your guitarist
overboard! Again!

No, I swear I didn't!

She sailed away from me!
She left me in the lurch!

Look how perfect
we were together.

Come back and play with me,
Nanarky!

Jagged and our Mom?

We're not co-captains
any more!

I sail alone now,
skipper!

Huh!

Marinette! You're here!

The awesome designer of these
rock'n'roll shades of mine!

I'm sure you can help me.

I need a guitarist,
like yesterday.

Do you play guitar?

Me? Guitar?

I can play a few notes on
the flute but, I don't think...

No, wait, Jagged!
I know the perfect musician!

Really?
You rock, Marinette!

I'm sure
you know Adrien Agreste.

He's the cutest, uh,
the greatest model,

I mean, musician in the world!
Ah - Huh?

- Hmm.
- Well, I know a few chords,

but I'm more of a pianist,
actually!

Uh, OK. You sure?

How about that young dude,
with the awesome T-shirt?

Don't you think he's better
equipped for the job?

Of course! You're right,
Jagged!

Phew!

Luka can let Adrien borrow
his guitar!

Can't you, Luka?

If you like,
Marinette.

- Put it to good use, Adrien.
- Uh... I'll do my best! Thanks!

Jagged Stone!
You fire me

and now you want
to replace me with what?

A school kid?

Vivica?
Is that you?

There ain't no more Vivica!

There's only Desperada now!

If I can't be your guitarist
any more,

I'm gonna make sure
nobody can.

Aha! You ship rat!
I knew you were lying!

Vivica didn't leave you.

You dropped her,
just like you dropped me!

What? You were thinking
of replacing me with her?

Hey! I'm a much better
guitarist than you!

And I was his first choice!

In that case,
you'll be my first choice, too!

I never miss a musical note.

Vivica always hits
her targets!

- Ha, ha!
- Oh!

I never should have given
that guitar to Adrien.

Why did I do that?
Tikii!

You have a troubled heart,
Marinette.

Argh! What is happening
to me?

Tikki, spots on!

Not there! You'd be
a sitting duck in that cabin!

Where are you running to,
wannabe?

Stop it, Vivica!

You're giving rock'n'roll
a bad name!

Jagged! No!

I may not play a guitar,

but I do play the yo-yo!
Care for a duet?

Solo!

- We'll be safe here!
- Thank you, Luka!

Perfect, Desperada!

Ladybug's Miraculous
are within reach!

I always keep my end
of the deal, Hawk Moth!

Where's Cat Noir?

He might not make it
here in time!

Then we must help Ladybug!
May I?

Another new guitarist?

Aaah!

This way. Quick!

You won't get away for long!

You shouldn't have put yourself
in danger like that!

But thank you!

You can count on us
whenever you need help!

I appreciate it.
But when there's a supervillain,

it's best if your partner
has powers.

Speaking of which...

Cat got your tongue?
Leave a message!


OK.

Lucky charm!

A gong? What are you
gonna do with that?

I'm going to be have
to be with you guys now,

but I'll be back soon!

I'll find that brat guitarist
sooner or later, Ladybug!

I can handle this!
Could I borrow that, please?

You know how to play?

Let's say I have
my own personal style!

Meanwhile, find a place
to hide! Both of you!

You can hide in here!

It's a bit tight
for the two of us.

I'll go in another one!

OK, see you later!

How about a nap
while we wait

for Ladybug
to come back?

No, it's time for Cat Noir
to make his entrance!

Plagg, claws out!

Who is torturing
that poor guitar?

That's better!

Marinette Dupain-Cheng,

you must pick an ally
you can trust

to fight alongside you
on this mission.

Once the mission is over,

you will take the Miraculous
back and return it to me.

Desperada is relentless!

There's no room
for error with her!

There'll be no second chance!

Or maybe this one.

The snake's power is a very
strong one, Marinette.

Whoever uses it
must be wise enough

not to be tempted
to manipulate time

for their own personal gain.

I understand,
Master Fu.

I know just
the perfect person!

I can't believe I didn't think
of him before.

A perfect match!

Aaah!

We must stop running
to each other like this!

Lady!

Let's take care
of this guitarist

- and her seriously bad music!
- Ehh!

Er... you looking
for something, milady?

Phew! Yeah,

I have to find
Adrien Agreste!

You want to entrust him
with a Miraculous?

You're not supposed to know,
but, yeah!

He's the perfect guy
for this mission.

You know you can trust me
and my incredible nose!

If Adrien's down here,
I'll find him for ya.

Adrien's in there!

Your incredible nose
failed you this time!

Cat Noir? Ladybug?
Have you defeated Desperada yet?

Oh! Where's Adrien?

Uh, maybe, he took off and
he hid somewhere else.

Let's split up and find him.

Hide in there
for the meantime!

Claws in!

Plagg, Ladybug needs me.
She needs Adrien!

If you ask me, this whole idea
is worse than cheese in a can!

She thinks I'm the perfect guy
for this mission!

You can't be Cat Noir

and another superhero
at the same time!

Which means you're not the
perfect guy for this mission.

The lucky charm told her
I am!

That's not how it works!

Uh. Why am I bothering?
You're not even listening.

This is my chance to get her
to love me as myself, Adrien!

I don't care what costume
comes with it,

I have to try!
Ladybug chose me!

Adrien? Adrien?

Uh... Ladybug?

Where were you?
Is everything OK?

Yeah! I was just hiding
a bit further down.

I thought it'd be better
if Desperada couldn't find us

in the same place.

- I need you.
- Me?

Adrien Agreste, here's
the Miraculous of the Snake,

which grants
the power of Second Chance.

You will use it
for the greater good.

Once we defeat
the supervillain,

you will return
the Miraculous to me.

Can I love... uh, trust you?

Yes, Ladybug.

- Amazing!
- Greetings!

My name is Sass
and I'll be your kwami!

But what am I supposed to do?

All you have to say is,
"Sass, scales slither!"

Sass, scales slither!

Cat got your tongue?
Leave a message!


Cat! I found Adrien.
We're gonna go after Desperada.

Meet us under
Trocadéro!

I hope I don't disappoint you,
Ladybug,

I know you won't.
You're perfect.

Uh... perfectly capable
of defeating Desperada.

We need all odds
in our favour.

Desperada is
a fearsome opponent!

Lucky charm!

I'd have preferred a horseshoe
for my first mission!

Ha, ha! I love
your sense of humour.

Really? Thanks!

If anything goes wrong,
the Second Chance lets you go back

to the exact moment
you activated it.

Got it.
Second chance!

We now have five minutes.
Within this time range,

you can go back in time
as often as you want.

After that,
when the snake's head

goes back in place,
you'll detransform.

Still no Cat.

Come to think of it,
we're OK without him...

- Oh!
- ..now that we have your power!

You and I are gonna make
an awesome team!

[sighs]

Where is she?

Nobody can escape me from here!

Aaah!

Very nice, Desperada!
Once you've captured Cat Noir

and don't need
your powers any more,

the stickers will release
the heroes,

and their Miraculous
will be mine!

- Awesome team, all right!
- Give me some time!

We now have
five minutes...

Before I transform back
I know.

Did we not make it?

No, but I used my power
of Second Chance!

No time to wait
for Cat Noir!

We're fine without him!
You'll see.

We'll make an awesome team!
Aspik and Ladybug!

Aspik? Wow! You've only
just started being a superhero

and you already seem
to have all this down!

Guess you made
the right choice, Ladybug.

[sighs]

- Where is she?
- No, wait! The first time,

Desperada's fire came
from there!

Here, as a thank you
for choosing me.

Oh... uh... thanks!

- Awesome team, all right!
- I just need more time!

To do what? Charm Ladybug
or defeat the villain?

Second chance!

- We now have five...
- Trust me!

- We've been through this before!
- Shouldn't we wait for Cat Noir?

You know me
Let's try a different exit!

So you've saved my life
several times already? I knew...

We'd make an awesome team?
I hope you're right!

He can read my mind, too!

- Seems OK here!
- Adrien, I mean, Snake...

Call me Aspik!

Aspik, you really are a super...

- Awesome team.
- I know!

Not again!

No! No!

You know, Ladybug?
I'm actually also Cat Noir

and I've been in love
with you

- since our eyes first met.
- What?

We now have five minutes.

Within this time range,
you can go back in time

- as many times as you want.
- Sass, scales rest!

- But...
- It didn't work. I'm so sorry.

I wasn't the right choice
for you after all.

No! You have to be
the right snake!

I guess I must have done
something wrong.

No, it's not you.
I just can't protect you.

- I never managed to save you.
- We can try again!

No! I can't bear
seeing Desperada

capture you every time,

without ever being able
to save you.

How many times
did you see me?

I've been trying for months.
It was the th time.

I don't know what to do
any more.

But... who could possibly wear
this Miraculous, besides you?

Ladybug?
Oh! I see you've found Adrien.

I'm glad. I was worried!

Brave, determined,
caring.

Why don't you give him
the Miraculous?

Thank you for saving my life
so many times, Adrien.

I'll go and hide.

I'm sure you guys will succeed,
Ladybug!

Did I miss something?

Hmm. Luka Couphène,

here's the Miraculous
of the Snake,

which grants
the power of Second Chance.

You will use it for the
greater good, if you're willing.

Once we succeed,

you must return the
Miraculous to me.

Can I trust you?

Desperada att*cked my family
and my friends,

so if I can help you
in any way... I will!

Greetings! My name is Sass
and I'll be your kwami!

At last,
you've come to your senses!

I'm not sure
Ladybug will have

very fond memories and
experiences of Adrien Agreste!

Then make up for it
as Cat Noir!

You're right!
Plagg, claws out!

All you have to say is,
"Sass, scales slither!"

Sass, scales slither!

Just in time! Cat Noir,
I'd like you to meet...

Viperion!
Can't wait to work with you!

Perhaps you'd have preferred

a lucky horseshoe
for your first mission?

- Ugh! Cat!
- No need!

Ladybug brings enough luck
for all of us!

Thanks! Desperada is at
the top of the Eiffel Tower!

Let's take her vantage point
away from her.

We're gonna need
your Cataclysm!

Our team would be lost
without him!

At your service!
Milady!

Here! Cataclysm!

Cataclysm!

All her weapons
come from her guitar case.

We have to prevent her
from using them,

then destroy the case.
Ready?

Second chance!

Second chance!

Wait!

Second chance!

Second chance!

Second chance!

Wait! This time,
I know what to do!

[music plays]

No more evildoing for you,
little Akuma.

Time to de-evilise!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly.

Miraculous Ladybug!

What am I doing here?

Pound it!

History repeats itself,
Ladybug,

but rest assured,

one day, I will be
the one who rewrites it!

Thank you
for trusting me.

You were the right choice,
Luka.

I'm sure we'll see each other
again soon.

Bug out!

[music plays]

I know I wasn't very rock'n'roll
to you, Vivica.

And even if you did eat
my cereal

and drink Fang's milk,

I should've never have fired you!
You can come back.

But you want to get
your own breakfast, OK?

I promise, Jagged!

Besides, I get why Anarka
no longer wants to play with me,

and I respect her decision.

What's past is past.
Isn't that right, Nanarky?

Hmm-Um.

Hmm-Um.

I was wrong about you and Luka,
wasn't I?

But you'd better hurry up
and choose, Marinette.

You don't always get
a second chance

when it comes
to love.

Well, Adrien and Luka
can choose too, right?

And they haven't made
their choice yet, either!

Hmm.
