94. Furious Fu

Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette seems slightly panicked as she is trapped in the bedlam of kwamis pleading and reasoning with her.

Mullo: But we wanna...

Sass & Pollen: We all missed Master Fu...

Xuppu: Hey! Let us visit him! Come on!

Fluff: Please!

Trixx: It's not fair!

Daizzi: Please!

Kwamis: Pleeeeeease!

Marinette: Uh... You know why you can't come. When he made me the new Guardian, his memory was magically erased. Now, Master Fu is just like everyone else. He can't know about the Miraculous, my secret identity or you kwamis! (She picks up her purse) Come on, Tikki! Let's go. (The rest of the kwamis, however, begin to argue with Marinette again.)

"So, what business do I have for me to be back in Paris?" Master Fu asked curiously as well as everyone else.

"You and Marianne both come back to Paris for a little vacation," Angel simply answered and everyone else nodded in understanding.

Kwamis: That's not fair!

Ziggy: Why does Tikki get to go and not us?

Tikki: I'm sorry, friends, but you know I can't leave Marinette in case she needs to transform.

Trixx: But what if we hide too? Then he'd never see us! That'd be okay, right?

Daizzi: We just wanna make sure he's okay!

Xuppu: He took care of us for more than one hundred years, you know!

Marinette: I know! But you're gonna have to let him live his new life with his soulmate! It's my turn to take care of you.

Wayzz: Marinette, even so, you know Master Fu trusted me to help him protect the Miracle Box. I was more than just his kwami - I was his friend. And I miss him so much... (begins to sob)

The kwamis then began to moan in sadness as they flew to their guardian who softly smiled at them. After seeing this with everybody else, Marinette suddenly had a thought. "I've got an idea. Master, you're still planning on giving up your guardianship very soon, right?"

"That is right, Marinette," Master Fu said, confused and curious on where his protegee is thinking of as well as everyone else.

"Well, why don't we have a farewell party for you and the kwamis as soon as we get back? That way, you and the kwamis will have a chance to say your proper goodbyes before you lose your memories for good," Marinette suggested with a smile and immediately after, everyone else began to cheer in agreement of the idea, especially the kwamis.

"But as soon as we get back, all of us except for Tikki and Plagg will be back in the Miracle Box," Orikko pointed out with a little concern.

"I'll invite everyone here and they can wear your Miraculouses, so you all can be out of the Miracle Box for the night. Plus if there is a huge akuma attack, all of us will be prepared if Adrien and I ever need back-up," Marinette answered and everybody else murmured in agreement. "What do you think, Master?"

"I think I like that idea very much, Marinette," Master Fu said as he softly smiled at the blue-haired girl and then, everyone else began sputtering out ideas for the party before Angel replayed the episode.

Marinette: I understand, but... (thinks deeply for a moment) Alright, you can come, Wayzz. (The kwamis erupt into another discordant argument with Marinette.)

Mullo: Why?

Trixx: Not fair!

Ziggy: I wanna see him!

Roaar: I wanna go!

"This will be great parenting practice if you ever give us grandchildren, sweetheart," Sabine teasingly said to her daughter about the way she's handling the kwamis on-screen with everyone else chuckling in agreement.

Marinette: I can't just take all of you at once! (The kwamis start to sulk and question why.) Because... because the Miracle Box has to be guarded; protected - that's why!

Trixx: So you're saying is if one of us stays here to keep watch... the rest of us can come, right?

Marinette: Huh? What?! Of course not! (Yet again, the kwamis argue.)

Xuppu: But how do we choose who stays?

Sass: Let's let fate decide.

Xuppu and Daizzi: Yeah; let's do Kwami-Kwa-Who!

Marinette: Kwa-What?

"KWA-WHAT?!" Everyone in the audience (except for the kwamis) loudly asked at the same time as Marinette on-screen in confusion.

Mullo: (randomly points at kwamis with each passing word) Kwami-kweeny-koomy-who, the special chosen one is (abruptly points at Marinette) YOU! There—Marinette stays! (The cheerful kwamis fly towards the window. Fortunately, Marinette runs in front of their way in the nick of time.)

"Nice try, you little sneaks," Marinette said to the kwamis with a playful frown in which the little creatures responded with giggling along with the rest of the humans.

Marinette: Oh, no you don't! That's cheating! Besides, I'm the Guardian; I get to decide.

Mullo: Hmm, she leaves us no choice...

Xuppu: Operation Kwami Baby-Doll Eyes!

Marinette: Uh-

"Oh no! If Manon's baby-doll eyes were difficult before, the eyes on the kwamis are gonna be impossible to resist!" Marinette groaned in which everyone else giggled in agreement.

Kwamis: (enlarge their eyes to appear cuter) PLEEASE?!

"AWWWWW!" Everyone in the audience (except for the kwamis) loudly cooed at the kwamis making their baby-doll eyes on-screen.

Marinette: Uh... fine... (She looks at each of the kwamis, who are all pleading to go.) Huh. Any kwami willing to volunteer?

Barkk: The kid has a point! (She is watching a movie on Marinette's computer, taking everyone else by surprise.) What if an akumatized villain or a sentimonster shows up? I have a bad feeling about this. You go, I'll keep watch. (She then clicks the computer mouse to resume the film.)

"Not that I don't want to see you, Master, but as the Dog Kwami, I take guarding and protecting very seriously," Barkk explained in which the old guardian and everyone else nodded in understanding.

Blue Knight In Movie: En garde, my lord!

Marinette: Thank you, Barkk. (She picks up and opens her school bag.) Come on! Everyone inside! (All the kwamis cheer as they fly inside.) But I'm warning you - not even a peep out of any of you. (After closing her bag, the kwamis continue to cheer delightfully.) You're peeping! (The kwamis still continue their celebration as Marinette puts the bag on her back and exits her room. Cut back to Barkk watching the movie.)

Red Knight In Movie: By jove! We're not out of the woods yet, my lord!

Scene: Kitchen. Marinette grabs a picnic basket and runs to the train station.

Scene: Gare du Nord

Roaar: Ready?

Kwamis: (singing) Dear Master Fu's on a ... (Marinette panics and looks in her backpack as civilians look at her weirdly. Marinette grabs her phone)

"You kwamis better behave when I become your guardian," Marinette warned the kwamis with a frown.

"We'll see. We'll see," Trixx answered on behalf of the kwamis in which everyone else giggled in response.

Marinette: It's my phone. It started on its own again. (at her backpack) If it doesn't stop right now, I swear it's gonna end up in the trash! (Marinette throws her phone back in her backpack, civilians shrug and keep talking, Su-Han watches from a trash can and moves away. A train pulls up and stops, Marinette sees Marianne and Wang Fu leave the train)

"Um, am I being watched?" Marinette nervously asked as well as everyone else as soon as they saw Grandmaster Su-Han spying on her on-screen, in which Angel confirmed it with a nod.

"Don't tell me it's an ally of my father!" Adrien then said with a nervous look along with everyone else.

"Don't worry. It's not. You'll find out who it is soon enough," Angel answered in which everyone else sighed with relief. Meanwhile, Master Fu and the kwamis all had a look of uncertain familiarity of the man spying on Marinette.

Marinette: Hi, Marianne. (hugs Marianne)

Marianne: Hello, Marinette. (turns back to Fu) Do you remember her, my love? She's the young girl who found you after your paddle boat accident. The one that caused your amnesia. (Fu smiles at Marinette and Marinette tearfully hugs him)

Marinette: I'm so glad to see you again, Master... I mean, Mr. Fu.

Wang Fu: My dear child, you reunited me with my beloved Marianne. I can never thank you enough. (Marinette smiles at him)

Scene: A bench in the Seine. Marinette hands out cakes to Fu, who then takes his cake and hands the second cake to Marianne.

Wang Fu: Yes, life in London has been quite wonderful.

Marianne: Would you believe it? Wang discovered a passion for painting. (Wayzz pokes out of the backpack)

Wang Fu: Actually, as a thank you for helping me, I want to give you this painting. (hands Marinette a painting with a lot of scribbles)

Marinette: Thank you. It's... really... Uh, am I holding it the right way?

Wang Fu: (laughs) Yes. I'm not sure myself what it's supposed to represent. (Marinette sees Wayzz on the ground and panics, and tries to grab him) But when I think of you, this is what I see. So, there you go. (sees Wayzz and picks him up) What's this? (pokes Wayzz's head) That's such a cute little doll. Is it yours? (hands Wayzz to Marinette)

"Wayzz," Master Fu and Marinette both scolded the Turtle Kwami for almost exposing himself on-screen in which the kwami chuckled nervously in response. Everyone else, however, laughed at the irony of the situation.

Marinette: (laughs nervously) Yes! It probably fell out when I took out the cake. (put Wayzz into her backpack)

Wayzz (from the backpack excitedly): HE TOUCHED ME! HE TOUCHED ME!

Marinette: (takes Wayzz out) I didn't show you! It talks too. (chuckles, imitates Wayzz) He touched me! He touched me! (She puts Wayzz back while Su-Han looks from a box on a scooter) So, what are you going to do while you're visiting Paris?

Wang Fu: Paint, of course. (grabs his supplies) Montmartre, the Tuileries gardens, the banks of the Seine. Is there any better place to paint than Paris? (starts to paint) Go on. Don't mind me. (Marinette and Marianne chuckle)

Marinette: Another slice of cake? (hands Marianne a piece)

Marianne: Please. (painting of the scene appears)

Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette returns to her room.

Roaar: He looked as strong as a tiger!

Xuppu: Unusual painting, though.

Daizzi: Is there still cake? (The kwamis leave her backpack. Marinette gets shocked by Su-Han holding the Miracle Box and Barkk)

"Oh no!" Master Fu loudly exclaimed with nervousness as he and the kwamis now recognize the Miraculous guardian on-screen much to everyone else's confusion.

"Who is he, Master?" Adrien asked with concern for the old man along with everyone else.

"That is Grandmaster Su-Han. The Celestial Guardian of the Miracle Box back at the Miraculous temple in Tibet," Tikki answered on behalf of her guardian much to everyone else's surprise.

"If he is here, this cannot be good," Master Fu said, still nervous about Su-Han's presence in Paris, let alone his protegee's bedroom.

Barkk: I told you I had a bad feeling about this.

Su-Han: How come you are in possession of the Mother Box, young lady?

Marinette: (looks to the sewing box where the Miracle Box is usually kept, realizing it is empty) Who are you?

Tikki: (flies) That's Grandmaster Su-Han. The celestial guardian of the Miracle Box.

Marinette: But I'm the guardian of the box.

Tikki: Celestial Guardian was in charge of it before that incident caused by Master Fu. (Barkk flies back to the other kwamis)

"Wait! So, he was around when you were a kid back at the temple?" Adrien asked Master Fu curiously as well as everyone else in which the old man responded with a nod in confirmation.

"So, he's older than YOU are?!" Alya asked in which Master Fu responded with a nod in confirmation again. Everyone dropped their jaws and widened their eyes in shock that there is an actual live person older than the 186-year old man.

"So, you guardian dudes are immortal or something?" Nino then asked the old guardian.

"Not exactly immortal. We can still die by murder or a disease, but by magical forces, we guardians have much longer life-spans than of the average human being," Master Fu explained in which everyone else nodded in understanding, but their eyes are still wide in shock.

Marinette: (angry and confused) How did you find me?

Su-Han: The guardians' staffs hold compasses that allow the boxes to be tracked at all times.

"A guardian's staff that I somehow didn't get?" Marinette asked Master Fu with a frown in which the old man responded with a nervous smile and shrug.

Marinette: Hey! That's not fair! Why didn't I get a staff?

Su-Han: Precisely because you are not a true guardian! This is all a misunderstanding, and the incorrect shape of the box proves it.

Marinette: But I don't get it. Master Fu entrusted it to me.

Su-Han: FU?! As in Wang Fu, also known as Whiny Chicken Leg?! That incompetent disciple unable to spend one entire day without eating, or do a thousand finger push-ups?! Fu should never have been a guardian. That low-life never lived up to the hopes that were placed in him.

"WHINY CHICKEN LEG?!" Most of the audience exclaimed in shock and amusement as they laughed towards the blushing old guardian before he frowned at the comment Su-Han just made about him.

Marinette: Master Fu may have made mistakes when he was young, but he bravely protected the box for years! He even sacrificed himself and erased his own memory to save us! (shows him the painting) And now, he's become a great painter!

Su-Han: That old man is Whiny Chicken Leg?! Wait... (looks at the kwamis) Some kwamis are missing.

Marinette: When Master Fu gave the box, he already lost Nooroo, Duusu, and their Miraculous, the Butterfly and the Peacock. (Su-Han gasps)

Su-Han: (shocked) He's lost a Miraculous too?! (to himself; annoyed) He's even more incompetent than I thought. (notices Plagg is missing) PLAGG! Young girl, where is Plagg?!

Marinette: That I know. Cat Noir is his holder.

Su-Han: (suspiciously) And who is Cat Noir?

Marinette: Well... I don't know, since we're supposed to keep our identities secret. (Su-Han is confused until he sees that Marinette is wearing the Ladybug Miraculous. Upset by this, Su-Han sits down and is angry about the current situation.)

Su-Han: So this is the modern world: protected by a group of careless fools. Guardians must never wear a Miraculous! Some jewels missing and Plagg roaming free?! The end of dinosaurs and dragons - doesn't that alarm anyone?! (grunts and slams his staff into the ground) That's enough! Kwamis, get in ying-yang patterns and back inside the box. (opens the box, the kwamis except for Tikki enter the box, disappointed.)

Marinette: What are you doing?! (Su-Han closes the box, puts in his sack and takes out a book)

Su-Han: Let me remind you about some of the Perfect Precepts that you have broken. (flips pages) Precept 14: Kwamis must not live outside the box. (flips pages) Precept 52: Guardians must never lose a Miraculous. (flips pages) Precept 133: A guardian cannot, under any circumstances, wear a Miraculous. (closes the book)

"There's a Guardian handbook?!" Marinette once again asked with a frown towards Master Fu who smiled and shrugged with nervousness again.

Marinette: But Master Fu wore one himself!

Su-Han: Precisely! That just proves what I've been saying all along! Neither you nor Fu were up to the role of Guardian, because neither of you have respected the ancient absolute rules of our order! Not to mention the fact that no child should be a keeper of kwamis! They are ultra-powerful cosmic entities! One must manage them with authority, which you are obviously incapable of doing! (looks at Marinette's computer)

Blue Knight In Movie: En garde, my lord!

Su-Han: (gets in fighting stance) Challenging me like this is akin to pulling on the tiger's whiskers, you villain! (charges at the computer)

Marinette: (stops him) Whoa! Easy there. Calm down! It's just a movie. See?

Su-Han: (amazed) Such a powerful spell! How did that warrior end up in this flat prison of glass and metal? (knocks on the computer screen) Anyway, we must waste no more time! Take me to Cat Noir, young lady.

"He doesn't know what a movie is?!" Alya asked in surprise along with everyone else towards Master Fu while some people chuckled at that awkward moment.

"Even when the Miraculous temple was intact, the guardians aren't exactly allowed to have a social life and leave the temple except for emergency missions," Master Fu explained.

"Well, that sucks! No wonder you didn't wanna become one!" Kim then commented loudly in which the teens murmured in agreement.

Marinette: (to Tikki) Do you think this is a good idea?

Tikki: I don't know. It might be best to do as he says. After all, he is the Celestial Guardian.

Marinette: Oh, I guess you're right.

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: (unhappily) Tikki, spots on! Ah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug. Ladybug calls Cat Noir on her phone)

Su-Han: What are you doing to your weapon?

Ladybug: Well, this is my Bug-Phone, to talk to Cat Noir.

Su-Han: (confused) You don't have to send doves to communicate with each other?

"DOVES?!" Everyone in the audience loudly questioned Master Fu.

"Long before telephones were invented," Master Fu explained and everyone else murmured in understanding.

Red Knight In Movie: We are not out of the woods yet, my lord!

Scene: Parisian rooftops. Su-Han follows Ladybug to Cat Noir.

Cat Noir: Hello, m'lady! Is this the wonderful guest you mentioned in your message? (Ladybug looks sadly at Su-Han)

Su-Han: (frustrated) Of course, another child.

Ladybug: Cat Noir, this is-.

Su-Han: (interrupts) I am Grandmaster Su-Han, the Celestial Guardian of the Mother Box.

Cat Noir: (surprised) What? Aren't you supposed to be the guardian, m'lady?

Su-Han: (interrupts, shouting) When the lion speaks, the cub listens! First off, you two are going to hand over your Miraculous to me.

Cat Noir: What? That's a bad joke. (smiles with Ladybug) And I know all about bad jokes.

Ladybug: We can't do that! How are we going to defeat Shadow Moth without our Miraculous?

Su-Han: I will reassign them to carefully selected, appropriate adult holders. Like any rightful responsible Guardian would do.

Cat Noir: Wait a minute. We can't just give our Miraculous to some guy who just showed up out of the blue.

Ladybug: I..I don't know. The kwamis confirmed that he's the real original guardian of the box. Maybe Grandmaster Su-Han is right. Maybe Master Fu is wrong. (sadly) Maybe that's the reason why we can't defeat Shadow Moth.

"Marinette, I apologize if my discordant relationship with the guardians back at the temple is now making you doubt yourself. You are the best Ladybug that I've seen in years. Never forget that," Master Fu softly said to Marinette.

"He's right, m'lady. Even though we haven't defeated my father yet, we haven't lost yet either," Adrien pointed out as he tenderly touched her hand and everyone else murmured in agreement, making Marinette softly smile.

Cat Noir: That's ridiculous! You'll always deliver! Trust yourself, Ladybug, like I trust you. If I have to give my Miraculous back then fine, I will. But only if you ask me to. You're the only guardian here. (Ladybug looks sadly)

Su-Han: Then it's settled. Order him to give you his Miraculous back and let's be done with this. Then you will renounce being the guardian so I can retrieve the Mother Box.

Ladybug: But... if I do it, will my memories get erased like Master Fu's?

Cat Noir: (shocked and sad) Does that mean you won't remember me? (Ladybug and Cat Noir both look down sadly. Unwilling to lose the one whom he loves or the precious memories with her, Cat Noir bravely defies Su-Han and prepares to fight. He shouts angrily) You want my ring? Then come and get it!

Su-Han: Fine.

"That is not a good idea, Adrien," Master Fu said to the blond boy with a look of concern and nervousness.

"OK, maybe I let my feelings get the better of my judgment…again, but how bad can he be? He's ancient," Adrien scoffed along with most of the other teens. However, others in the audience like Marinette and Master Fu shook their heads in exasperation, anticipating the embarrassing truth to that question.

Ladybug: Cat Noir, calm down. That's a guardian you're talking to. We're gonna find a solution.

Su-Han: (does several Kung-Fu moves) Why do you think guardians study for so many years? Just to hand the Miraculous out to whomever? No. We are specially trained to overpower the Miraculous holders who have gone rogue, like YOU! (charges at Cat Noir) Celestial Storm! The thousand fists of the Yama bring in the bearings wiped out! (Su-Han starts using all of the kung-fu moves to make Cat Noir fall and roll over to a chimney. He then jumps on Cat Noir.)

Cat Noir: (weakly) Master Fu was way nicer.

"OK, I'll take it back," Adrien gulped with his eyes wide open, completely shocked at Su-Han's kung-fu moves along with everyone else (except for Master Fu).

Su-Han: And his Mira-Kung Fu was worse. (grabs Cat Noir's hand, and reaches for the ring. Ladybug throws her yo-yo at Su-Han's arm, flinging him backwards. Su-Han lands on a chimney cap.)

Ladybug: Grand-Master, the last I heard, I was the guardian! And I say that Cat Noir keeps his Miraculous, and I keep mine!

Su-Han: (Outraged) Insolent subordinate! (jumps down) Stream of Justice! Blows right down and murders the enemy armies! (throws Cat Noir)

"This man makes my mother seem like a soft pillow," Kagami jokingly commented about Su-Han's intensely angry attitude with everyone else chuckling in agreement.

Ladybug: I don't know how he's doing it but he's guessing our every move in advance! (attempts to punch Su-Han, but he dodged; he throws her onto the floor)

Su-Han: My Mira-Kung Fu is like water. It adapts and finds its way anywhere. And you are barely afloat at the mercy of the river current! (Ladybug and Cat Noir both get kicked into a wall by Su-Han)

Ladybug: Cat Noir, grab his staff. (points at Su-Han with one hand, and holds her yo-yo in the other. She searches for the movie Barkk was watching.)

Su-Han: The claws of the hungry cat, powerless against the milkman's iron box. (Ladybug throws her yo-yo beneath Su-Han and plays the video from earlier)

Blue Knight In Movie: En garde, my lord!

Su-Han: Has the warrior escaped? (Ladybug snags Su-Han's sack)

"Nice one, M!" Alix snorted as she and everybody else laughed hard at how clueless Su-Han is about movies and how Ladybug used that to distract him on-screen.

Ladybug: Got it!

Su-Han: What?

Cat Noir: Bye-bye! (kicks him into a wall. Cat Noir grabs his staff and Ladybug shatters the wall on Su-Han. He digs out, but Ladybug and Cat Noir are gone with his staff and the box)

Su-Han: If you challenge the clouds, you will face the thunder!

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair. The window opens. Shadow Moth senses Su-Han's frustration towards Ladybug and Cat Noir over the Miracle Box.

Shadow Moth: I feel a mixture of mysterious emotions: a scorned authority, a confused man defeated, but most of all, an anger ready to explode! (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my evil akuma, and let the lava of punishment erupt from his volcanic heart!

"So, my akuma is originally meant for Grandmaster Su-Han?" Master Fu asked in which Angel confirmed it with a nod.

"Yes, but you'll see why you ended up becoming the akuma victim instead," Angel said in which the audience had their eyes glued to the screen.

Scene: Su-Han looks around for Ladybug and Cat Noir from the rooftop.

Su-Han: Ugh! If I still had my staff, I would hunt you down in no time! (spots Wang Fu in Jardin des Tuileries, along with Marianne. Fu is seen painting) Huh? Fu! (jumps down)

Scene: Jardin des Tuileries. Su-Han attempts to force Wang Fu's cane from him, but Fu gets hold of his cane.

Su-Han: (harshly) Hand over your staff, Whiny Chicken Leg! You don't deserve it anyway.

Wang Fu: (sternly) Have you lost your mind, young man?!

"Apparently, he forgot that you lost your memories!" Adrien said, cringing at Su-Han's behavior towards Master Fu in which everyone else slightly frowned in agreement.

Marianne: Leave my partner alone! (whacks Su-Han with her cane several times)

Su-Han: (sees akuma headed for him, gasps) An akuma! Whirlwind of wisdom! The virtuous wind resists the temptation! (begins meditating) My anger is mine but I am not my anger. My anger is mine but I am not my anger. (akuma flies off) Enough! Fool you're making me lose precious time! (aggressively grabs cane from Wang Fu, causing both Fu and Marianne to fall. He looks inside the cane, noticing a hidden staff, and starts to walks away)

"I cannot believe he just did that to you, Master!" Daizzi said, frowning in disbelief along with everybody else towards Su-Han for roughing up both Master Fu and Marianne on-screen.

Wang Fu: Marianne, are you okay? (helps her up. Angry with Su-Han for pushing him and his wife, and upset with him for stealing his cane, Wang Fu puts the pencil to his ear and grabs a hold of the cane Su-Han took) Where do you think you're going? You apologize to my partner and give my cane back at once, you boar!

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair.

Shadow Moth: Oh everything is not lost after all.

Scene: Jardin des Tuileries.

Shadow Moth: Turn around my little akuma! (the akuma turns around and enters Fu's paint brush; Su-Han notices and rushes off with the cane) Fu, we meet again.

"OH NO!" The kwamis exclaimed in fear at seeing the akuma infect their beloved guardian on-screen while everybody else (even Master Fu himself) sharply gasped in shock.

Wang Fu: Do I know you?

The gasps from the audience then turned to laughter towards the fact that Shadow Moth is still unaware that Master Fu has lost his memories about the Miraculous.

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair.

Shadow Moth: Furious Fu, I am Shadow Moth. That heartless thief has disrespected you and your partner. I'm giving you the power to make him pay! Show him who is in charge! All I ask in return are Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculous.

Scene: Jardin des Tuileries.

Wang Fu: Could you repeat that once more? I didn't catch all of it.

Everybody in the audience laughed once again towards Master Fu's newly obliviousness towards the Miraculous and the superheroes.

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair.

Shadow Moth: (sighs in annoyance) Do you want to get revenge on this man and get your cane back?!

Scene: Jardin des Tuileries.

Wang Fu: Do I ever.

Shadow Moth: Then let's proceed. (Fu is akumatized into Furious Fu)

Furious Fu: (to Marinanne) Which way did he go?

"Huh. I actually look good when I'm akumatized. Right?" Master Fu asked, impressed about his akumatized appearance. Meanwhile, everyone else was silent for a moment as they had conflicting opinions about it and didn't want to offend the 186-year old man.

"Well, you are taller, Master," Tikki said with a nervous smile.

"And stronger," Plagg added, also with a nervous smile. Everyone else reluctantly responded with either "Uh, yeah" or "sure" to the old man's question.

Marinanne: My love please! It's not worth it.

Furious Fu: That reckless toad will not spit in the dragon's face without apologizing! (takes out paint brush and writes the Chinese word 发现 (Fāxiàn)) FIND! (paper flies off in the direction of Su-Han)

Scene: Parc des Princes. Ladybug and Cat Noir discuss what to do with the Miracle Box.

Cat Noir: What do we do? Should we hide it?

Ladybug: And then what? He knows who I am anyway. He knows where I live!

Su-Han: Ladybug! Cat Noir! Give me back the Mother Box and your Miraculous! Return them to the right hands!

Ladybug: Hey, that's Master Fu's cane.

Furious Fu: I want my cane and an apology! (writes 雷电 (Léidiàn) with his paintbrush) Thunderbolt! (paper goes into the sky and creates a dark cloud shooting red lightning, which Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Su-Han dodge)

"WHOA!" Everyone in the audience exclaimed in surprise at the thunderbolt that Furious Fu had created on-screen.

Su-Han: (tries to take the box from Ladybug) Give it!

Ladybug: (holding onto box) Never! (A strike of lighting causes both Su-Han and Ladybug to drop the box onto the field; they run after it. Shadow Moth, through Furious Fu, notices Miracle Box and communicates to Furious Fu and asks him to bring him the Miracle Box.)

Shadow Moth: Furious Fu, bring me that box! (Furious Fu jumps down and starts after it, Ladybug and Cat Noir treat the box as a football, kicking it around on the field and playing keep away)

Cat Noir: (in an effort to keep the box far from Su-Han and Furious Fu, he kicks it into the goalpost) Gooaal! (Everyone else is still chasing after it) Hey! (starts running again)

"GOOAAL!" Adrien and some other teen boys exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Cat Noir score the soccer goal with the Miracle Box on-screen. Meanwhile, most of everyone else facepalmed in exasperation.

"Um, kitty. We want the Miracle Box close to us. Not further away from us," Marinette reminded her boyfriend who chuckled nervously in response.

Furious Fu: (writes 瞬间移动 (Shùnjiān yídòng) with paintbrush) TELEPORTATION! (teleports and grabs the box. Su-Han retreats)

"And where is HE going?!" Alya asked with sass towards Su-Han for sneaking away from the battle with Furious Fu. Everyone else either laughed or frowned in response.

Shadow Moth: One-zero, Ladybug.

Ladybug: (accusingly) Red card! He touched the ball with his hands! (Cat Noir and Ladybug both attempt to retrieve it from him, but fail)

Su-Han: (criticizing from off the field) No! Higher! Watch out! No, not like that! Ugh! So slow! Come on! Not that way!

"Here's a thought: COME OUT AND HELP!" Marinette exclaimed to on-screen Su-Han in extreme exasperation with everyone else frowning in agreement.

Cat Noir: Hey, Mr. Bossy Pants! Would it kill you to help us out here?

Su-Han: (dismissively) Mirakung-Fu is a martial art designed to neutralize rebellious Miraculous holders! Not to fight supervillains created through the magic of the Miraculous!

"Ugh! What an utterly lame excuse!" Chloe scoffed at what Su-Han just said on-screen and everyone else either frowned or chuckled in agreement.

Ladybug: So we're supposed to fix your mistakes? !

Furious Fu: (gesturing with his arms and hands) Phantom Palms and the Awakened! The wise man moves mountains without touching them! (he sends Ladybug and Cat Noir back with a burst of energy. He points to Su-Han) You're next.

Su-Han: (shouting fighting techniques) A hundred thousand dragon talons! The pagoda breaker iron feet! The rage of the sunscreen with ingrown nails!

Furious Fu: (writes 雕像 (Diāoxiàng) with his paintbrush; places the paper of Su-Han's forehead) Statue. (As he said this, Su-Han stops like a statue and Fu takes his cane back) Finally.

"Whiny Chicken Leg indeed. Not so high and mighty now, are you?!" Master Fu said to on-screen Su-Han with a chuckle, but then stopped when he got looks from everyone else. "Not that it's a good thing."

Shadow Moth: Well done, Furious Fu.

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair.

Shadow Moth: Now you must keep your word and bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.

Scene: Parc des Princes.

Furious Fu: Very well. So I have to take the wingless bat's bell, right?

Everyone else laughed hard in response not only to Furious Fu's question on-screen and the irony of it, but for calling Cat Noir a wingless bat.

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair.

Shadow Moth: (annoyed) No! Not his bell! His ring!

Scene: Parc des Princes. Ladybug and Cat Noir talk about a plan just off the field.

Cat Noir: I am not a wingless bat! (about to start fighting again)

Ladybug: Cat Noir, wait. We'll never defeat him.

Cat Noir: What?

Ladybug: We just need him not to defeat us either.

"HUH?!" Everyone in the audience (including Marinette herself) asked loudly in confusion.

Cat Noir: You lost me.

Ladybug: I have to make a call, cover me! (opens her Bug-Phone)

"Who am I calling? Alya to be Rena Rouge again?" Marinette asked curiously as well as everyone else.

"No. You'll see who you called," Angel said, shaking her head then pointing her head to the screen.

Cat Noir: That I can do. (Cat Noir jumps onto the field, sword fighting with his staff against Furious Fu, who parries with his cane.)

Furious Fu: The kitten can meow all he wants, but he will never roar like a tiger!

Ladybug: (finishes her call) Lucky Charm! (receives bolt cutters, then looks around for what to do. She notices Cat Noir's ring, some footballs in a locked cage, her yo-yo, and the bolt cutters) Perfect!

Furious Fu: (notices Ladybug going to the cage) What is she up to? (kicks Cat Noir away, plants his staff on the ground, then writes 视力 (Shìlì) with his paintbrush) Vision! (sees the items Ladybug intends to use) Oh, so this is your silly little plan. I know what you're gonna do. (starts heading for Ladybug)

Cat Noir: (stops Furious Fu by jumping on him from behind) We're not done yet! (Ladybug uses the cutters to break a lock, then grabs a ball from the cage)

Cat Noir: Cataclysm!

Ladybug: (reacting to Cat Noir) No!

Furious Fu: (grabs Cat Noir, takes his activated hand, and threatens to Cataclysm him with it) You're going to turn yourself into cat food.

Ladybug: (sends her yo-yo at Furious Fu) Take this! (Furious Fu catches the string between his teeth) And that. (Furious Fu catches Ladybug, holding her up by one arm. With her other arm, she puts the football between her legs and then wedges it between Cat Noir's activated cataclysm and his chest) There! Voila! We win!

Furious Fu: (while still holding the yoyo string between his teeth) Win? You foolish beetle, we're just stuck now! I can't defeat you but you can't defeat me either!

Ladybug: (confidently) Oh but my plan was never to defeat you myself.

"And this is where the person you called comes in. To break his akumatized object," Angel pointed out to Marinette and the others.

Marianne: Sorry, I need to borrow that. (takes the paintbrush off Furious Fu's ear and breaks it) There. Exactly like you said on the phone, Ladybug. (Furious Fu drops both Ladybug and Cat Noir as he is deakumatized)

"She's definitely a keeper, Master," Tom said to the smiling old man about Marianne with everyone else gushing in agreement.

Ladybug: Thank you Marianne, that was perfect. (opens her yo-yo) No more evil doing for you little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (catches the akuma) Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly! (throws the bolt cutters into the air) Miraculous Ladybug! (the storm clears and Su-Han is unfrozen)

Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Marianne: Pound i-

Cat Noir: Whoops, sorry! (realizing his Cataclysm is still active, he bends down to use it on the ball)

"Pound it!" The two heroes once again fist-bumped then kissed in victory after they and the others chuckled at the awkward moment about Cat Noir's Cataclysm.

Ladybug, Cat Noir and Marianne: (they, along with Marianne, fist bump) Pound it.

Ladybug: (Ladybug takes a magical charm out of her yo-yo and hands it to Fu) Here, carry this with you at all times. It will protect you from future attacks.

Wang Fu: And it will remind me of you everyday. Thank you Lady Beetle and Mr. Bat. (Ladybug laughs)

Everyone in the audience laughed hard at what Master Fu just called the superheroes on-screen and the irony of the situation once again.

Su-Han: (to Wang Fu; awkwardly, but sincerely) I'm terribly sorry. Forgive me Whiny- uh Sir. I- I mistook you for someone who has been long gone. (returns Wang Fu's cane)

Wang Fu: (reclaims his cane) Don't worry about it, it's already forgotten. (Su-Han and Fu bow)

"Well now, this guy owes us!" Adrien then said about Su-Han in which everyone else murmured in agreement.

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair.

Shadow Moth: Be careful with your magic box, Guardian of the Miraculous. You wouldn't want to lose it again.

Scene: Gare du Nord.

Wang Fu: The bat and the red beetle were incredible! Paris is always filled with good people ready to devote themselves for the greater good. Like you, Marinette.

Marinette: You should really thank Marianne, you know. From what I heard, she was the true superhero of the day.

"Looks like it's goodbye again, Master," Wayzz said, sad along with the other kwamis.

"Well, at least we'll have our party when we get back, so the goodbyes are proper," Marinette reminded the kwamis which lifted their spirits.

Scene: Marinette's room.

Su-Han: (upset) Involving Marianne in the fight - a human without powers was against the precepts too. (Marinette looks down, saddened) This has proven two things: the first thing is that you have the audacity to invent your own rules, and, as crazy as it may seem, somehow they all work. (Marinette is surprised) The second thing is that your natural instincts tell you who you can trust - an essential quality for a guardian. Whiny Chicken- uh, sorry.. Master Fu may not have made such a bad choice after all. (Marinette smiles) The Miracle Box is the mother of all boxes. It's the very first one that was created, and the one that holds the most powerful magic jewels. I cannot imagine what would happen if it were to fall into the wrong hands. But I am going to trust you. (hands Marinette the box, she takes it happily) I will keep watching you from a distance, but be wary - one failure and I will take the Miracle Box back. (Marinette nods as she walks over to her special hiding place for the box, inputs the code, and sets it inside) I will make the most of my time here in Paris to get accustomed to modern life. How can I be a good guardian if I don't try to understand the world around me?

Marinette: Thank you, Master. I have something for you too. I think you're gonna need these. (She holds up a new pair of shoes, causing Su-Han to look down at his old and worn out pair. Marinette and Su-Han share a laugh.)

"What did he do? Get to Paris from Tibet by foot?!" Max asked about Su-Han's old worn-out shoes along with everybody else.

"Possibly. Just like movies, modern transportation is most likely unknown to the guardians back at the temple," Master Fu answered in which everyone else nodded in understanding.

"Anyway, the next episode is called Sole Crusher. That's "sole" as in the soles of your shoes," Angel announced.

"And who's that akuma?" Adrien asked curiously as well as everyone else.

"Another akuma first-timer. You guys are gonna have a new girl in town and at your school," Angel answered.

"A NEW GIRL?!" Everyone in the audience loudly asked, debating on whether or not to be excited about the new girl due to bad experience (i.e. Lila). Meanwhile, Angel played the episode.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Chloe doesn't know about her half-sister, Zoe, yet in this fic. So, get ready to hear big surprised reactions!
