70. Miraculer

Scene: Le Grand Paris. Chloé and Sabrina rush at the roof to activate the Bee Signal.

Nadja: (talks from Sabrina's phone) ...help them defeat the fearsome Destroyer, Ladybug and Cat Noir...

Sabrina: (glued to her screen she twists her foot and drops the phone near Chloé) WHOOOH!

Nadja: ...with the help of their sidekicks: Rena Rouge and Carapace...

Chloé: (activates her Queen Bee signal) Today's the day.

Nadja: Let's hope the guardians will defeat this villain soon! Stay tuned for updates. (Chloé pulls her photo with Ladybug taken in "Evillustrator" and then notices Sabrina's phone) The battle between our heroes and Destroyer is in full swing! (Eiffel Tower explodes and Chloé picks the phone up) Oh no! And now Paris' most pointed monument is being ravaged by the horrendous supervillain!

Chloé: Ugh, how embarrassing. Without me around, they look ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.

Sabrina: Come on, Ladybug! You need help. Come and fetch Chloé! (Chloé nudges Sabrina with her elbow) Ah! Oh yes, sorry uhm... Come and fetch Queen Bee!

"For future reference, Chloe, your Bee Signal isn't going to make me come every time. It's more likely putting you at more risk with the supervillains," Marinette pointed out her concern about Chloe's Bee Signal and everyone murmured in agreement. After a moment of hesitation, Chloe finally understood and nodded in agreement herself.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: Mayura. Ladybug and Cat Noir are in trouble.

Mayura: (spying on Chloé from behind a nearby statue) Chloé's already waiting for her like she always does.

Hawk Moth: Perfect. Be ready in case Ladybug goes and hands her the Bee Miraculous.

"OK, Dupain-Cheng, you were right to be cautious about giving me back the Bee Miraculous. Those two creeps were spying on me!" Chloe said in disgust of the supervillains spying on her and everyone nodded in agreement.

Scene: Le Grand Paris hotel's roof. Both girls watch from Sabrina's phone.

Nadja: Ladybug calls her Lucky Charm and gets... a rubber duck? What is she going to do with that? Will Cat Noir, Rena Rouge, and Carapace...?

Chloé: Come on! What are you waiting for? You need me!

Nadja: Okay! Of course! That's brilliant! And Ladybug pulls it off yet again! She defeated Destroyer with the help of all her superhero friends! (Miraculous Ladybug is flying around Paris and fixes the Eiffel Tower)

Chloé: All? ALL!? What about Queen Bee? Ugh! (throws Sabrina's phone against the ground in fury and then crosses her arms)

Sabrina: (picks up phone) That's really not cool.

Chloé: Oh, you so don't get it. Ladybug only calls on me when she has serious villains to contend with.

Sabrina: Uhh, yeah! Of course. (Chloé sadly looks at her photograph)

"Even though you said it to save your ego at that time, Chlo, it's kinda true now. If we truly need you, we'll come," Adrien pointed out and everyone murmured in agreement as Chloe also softly smiled at the fact that she still feels needed.

Scene: Ladybug, Carapace, and Rena Rouge land between two buildings.

Carapace: Wayzz, shell off.

Rena Rouge: Trixx, let's rest.

Ladybug: (collects the Turtle and Fox Miraculous from Nino and Alya) And don't forget. Nobody can ever know our secret identities.

Nino: Except us, of course.

Ladybug: (turns around and throws her yo-yo) Thank you, see you next time. (swings away)

Scene: Eiffel Tower. Ladybug joins Cat Noir.

Cat Noir: Still haven't spoken to her, huh?

Ladybug: You know how dangerous it is to use Chloé. Everybody knows that she was Queen Bee, everyone including Hawk Moth. He can use it to trap us. That's why our identities must remain a secret.

Cat Noir: And the best kept secrets are the ones you don't share, yeah-yeah, I know. I don't think Chloé knows that her time as Queen Bee is over, though.

Ladybug: I know, I just haven't time to tell her and... (her Miraculous beeps) ...and I won't today either, I'm about to transform back! (spins her yo-yo)

Cat Noir: M'lady... promise me you'll go talk to her. It's the right thing to do.

Ladybug: Yeah, sure. (takes off)

"Sorry I've been too chicken to tell you that, Chloe. It's just based on experience, you don't handle disappointing news too well," Marinette apologized to Chloe about their overdue discussion about the latter's future as Queen Bee and everyone murmured in agreement at that last statement.

"I guess that's true, Marinette. Plus now, it makes me feel better that you called yourself a chicken," Chloe reluctantly said in amusement and everyone chuckled in agreement while Marinette sported a playful frown towards her former arch-rival.

Scene: Agreste mansion. Gabriel exits his lair whilst Nathalie waits for him in the atelier.

Gabriel: Chloé Bourgeois must become Queen Bee again!

Nathalie: Are you still considering making her an ally? I'm afraid Ladybug has grown reluctant to giving Chloé the Bee Miraculous. She's being very careful.

Gabriel: Then I will get Chloé to force Ladybug to give it to her. All I need is for her to lose all hope in Ladybug. To become angry enough so I can akumatize her. (smirks evilly)

Nathalie: (smiling evilly) Maybe it's time we bring Lila Rossi's psychological talent into the plan.

Gabriel: Excellent idea, Nathalie…

"I cannot believe the nerve of my father!" Adrien said angrily in response not only to his father using Lila against them, but also trying to recruit his childhood friend in doing the same. Everyone else grumbled in agreement with Chloe being the loudest.

Scene: Park. Lila sits on a bench reading a book while the Agreste car drives up behind her. Gabriel rolls open his window.

Lila: I really want to thank you for trusting me, Mr. Agreste. I'm very honored to be able to protect Adrien. But I'm saddened by all the people around him. Your son deserves better than that friend of his Nino. Not to mention all the girls clamoring to catch his eye, especially that Marinette dummy and that stuck-up Chloé. Chloé! Pfft! She won't stop bragging about being Queen Bee, but Adrien couldn't care less about these girls. He's just so perfect.

"I couldn't care less about the most important girls in my life, Lila?!" Adrien angrily asked the Italian girl in response to her lies about his friends to his father.

"OK, badmouthing me and Chloe I get. But, why did you badmouth Nino? He didn't do anything to you!" Marinette said in defense of her childhood friend and everyone else murmured angrily in agreement.

"Because I deserve to be the only person in Adrien's life! No other friends. No other girls. Just me!" Lila confessed in a hateful manner which made everyone boil with rage.

"And it doesn't matter if Adrien becomes miserable in the process, right?!" Marinette angrily asked that someone would treat the boy she loves like that.

"Duh! Weren't you listening?! My happiness is all that matters!" Lila said.

"Wow! Marinette's right. You really are the worst," Alya said with a hiss towards the Italian girl who responded with a scowl while everyone else grumbled in agreement before turning their attention back to the screen.

Gabriel: I don't think Adrien's completely indifferent to Chloé. They've had a very strong friendship ever since they were young - a relationship that no one can ruin. Thank you, Lila. I'll see you tomorrow. (car drives away)

Lila: Yes. See you tomorrow.

Scene: Agreste car.

Gabriel: I'm sure that this young lady will help us implement our grand plan.

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont.

Chloé: Rena Rouge and Carapace are so tacky. I just don't understand why Ladybug keeps calling on them and when I, Queen Bee-

"Maybe because we didn't reveal our secret identities to the public like an idiot, queenie," Alya hissed at the blonde girl who once again looked down in embarrassment at what she said in the past.

Lila: Good morning, everyone!

Adrien, Nino, and Alya: Hey, Lila!

Marinette: (glares at Lila) Yeah, let's go study for that test. (grabs Alya by her arm and they leave)

Nino: What test?

Adrien: The science test this afternoon. (Nino groans) Come on. I'll get ya up to speed. (leaves with Nino)

Lila: (notices Chloé and smirks before approaching her) Were you talking about Ladybug?

Chloé: Uhh... who are you again?

Sabrina: That's Lila. She's in our class!

Chloé: Really? Well, she clearly didn't make a big impression on me.

"Seriously?! After all the amazing things I claim to have done?!" Lila asked in disbelief at the blonde girl who scoffed in response.

"I didn't really believe all the things you said. I mean, hello! Too good to be true! Plus, why would I be threatened by a girl in a tacky outfit and a mess of sausages on her head she calls hair?!" Chloe explained to the Italian girl who scowled and growled in response. Meanwhile, the audience snickered at Chloe's mean comment which they never thought they'd do.

Lila: (laughs) Oh, I love your sense of humor. I remember now that Ladybug mentioned it a few times.

Chloé: You talk to Ladybug?

Lila: Of course! She and I are very close friends. A bit like you used to be back in the day! Whenever I feel like seeing her, I've got a magic command that calls her to me right away.

Chloé: Magic?

Lila: Yeah, just like your signal to summon her, except mine works every time.

Chloé: (almost gets angry but then contains herself) Well, to each her own. (walks off)

Lila: Don't you want to know what it is?

Chloé: (stops) If you insist. (Lila whispers into Chloé's ear while Marinette attempts to listen)

"What did she tell you to do to "summon Ladybug"?" Alya asked the blonde girl curiously.

"I'm sure you'll see and it's embarrassing. Utterly embarrassing!" Chloe said in disbelief in herself that she actually listened to Lila at that time. Everybody else gave her sorry looks while Lila smirked in amusement.

Lila: If Ladybug doesn't come to you with that, then you'll know she's not a true friend. (The bell rings)

Marinette: (to Alya) Go ahead, I'll meet you. Chloé?

Chloé: What do you want, Dupain-Cheng?

Marinette: I don't know what Lila just told you but, you should watch out for her, besides I'm sure Ladybug will come and see you anyway with or without magic.

Chloé: You making fun of me right now?

Marinette: No! No! I'm not!

Chloé: I could see Ladybug WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE IT, OKAY, so mind your own business DUPAIN-CHENG! (Tikki appears out of Marinette's purse)

"Sorry I blew up at you like that, Marinette. You were trying to warn me about Lila," Chloe apologized to her former arch-rival.

"Even though that was more extreme than our normal interactions, Chloe, I had my doubts that you would even listen to me anyway in retrospect," Marinette pointed out and everyone including Chloe nodded in agreement as they can't argue with that.

Tikki: You really got to talk to Chloé.

Marinette: But I just did. It's pointless, obviously.

Tikki: No! Marinette talked to Chloé! You know the only person Chloé listens to is Ladybug.

Marinette: (sighs) You're right.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair

Hawk Moth: Our ally is living up to our expectations. I can already feel Chloé's anger rising. Get ready, Mayura.

Mayura: Yes, Hawk Moth.

Scene: Outside Collège Françoise Dupont. Adrien enters his car and Chloé and Sabrina enter Chloé's limo.

Marinette: It's time.

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (transforms into Ladybug)

Scene: The Place des Vosges. Mayura watches August and his mother from above a building.

August: Lollipop! Lollipop!

August's mother: No August, I've told you already. You're too little to have lollipops. (August cries)

Mayura: (smirks and creates an amok) Fly away, beautiful amok. Enhance and hone that frustration. (Amok enters August's pacifier and a lollipop sentimonster appears in front of August and his mother. August opens his mouth in awe and his pacifier falls. His mother turns the pram away in order to flee from the monster.)

"If this won't curb the little guy's appetite for lollipops, what will?!" Adrien asked in response to the lollipop sentimonster on-screen while everyone nodded their heads in agreement and awe.

Scene: Outside Le Grand Paris. Ladybug is waiting for Chloé when she notices the lollipop sentimonster.

Ladybug: A sentimonster! Sorry, Chloé, you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer. (takes off. Chloé and Sabrina both spot the sentimonster)

"Ugh! The supervillains have the worst timing! Which I guess is the best timing for them!" Marinette groaned in frustration and everyone murmured in agreement, frustrated with the supervillains as well.

Chloé: (happily) Today's the day!

Butler Jean: (opens the limo door) Welcome, ma—

Chloé: Move, Jean-Gasphard! (pushes him out of the way)

Scene: Agreste car. Adrien and his bodyguard spot the sentimonster, therefore the bodyguard carries Adrien to his room.

Adrien: Thank you, I'll be safe now. (bodyguard leaves)

Plagg: You're right. It's nice and safe in here! How about we just hang and wait for a Camembert monster instead?

"Yeah, like that'll happen!" Tikki sarcastically said in response to Plagg's Camembert monster comment on-screen and everyone laughed hard in agreement while Plagg gobbled up his cheese with a frown on his face.

Adrien: If we end up running into one, I promise I'll save you a big chunk. Come on!

[Transformation Sequence]

Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (transforms into Cat Noir)

Scene: Place de Vosges. Cat Noir meets up with Ladybug on top of a building.

Cat Noir: Look out, m'lady! Lollipops are bad for your teeth.

Ladybug: I don't see an akumatized person anywhere! Seems like this sentimonster is all on it's own. (dodges the sentimonster's attack)

Scene: Le Grand Paris. Chloé turns her Bee Signal on.

Chloé: Come on! Hurry!

Nadja: (from Sabrina's phone) Don't be bemused, it's just the news! The battle between Ladybug and the lollipop monster has begun!

Sabrina: You know, if Ladybug doesn't show up, I could go fetch our costumes and we could play dress up.

Chloé: That's right, go fetch the costumes.

Sabrina: Yay! (takes off)

Chloé: Come on!

Lila: (from Chloé's memory) I've got a magic command that calls her to me right away. Don't you want to know what it is?

Chloé: No! That would be ridiculous, utterly ri- (looks around to make sure no one will see her and then stands on one foot and hops around in a circle) Ladybug, Ladybug, Ladybug. (opens her eyes and sees Butler Jean standing next to her)

"THAT'S the magical command Lila asked you to do to summon me?!" Marinette asked in disbelief and Chloe nodded as she looked down sheepishly and glared at Lila in disgust. Meanwhile, everyone else was trying to resist the temptation to laugh.

Butler Jean: Mademoiselle seemed a little upset earlier. (opens a dish with Mr. Cuddly in it)

Chloé: (angrily) Get... lost, Jean Pascal! (Sabrina walks in wearing a Cat Noir costume and holding a Ladybug costume)

Butler Jean: (to Sabrina) Mademoiselle needs a few minutes to herself.

Scene: Place de Vosges. Ladybug and Cat Noir defeat the lollipop sentimonster.

Ladybug: Gotcha! Bye bye, little feather.

Scene: Le Grand Paris rooftop. Chloé looks at her phone angrily.

Ladybug: (on the phone) Miraculous Ladybug!

Chloé: But... I did the magic dance! Ladybug wouldn't have forgotten all about me! (pictures Lila laughing) That smart alec idiot at school took me for a ride! (stares at the photo of her and Ladybug and starts to cry)

"It's not my fault you're a dumb blonde!" Lila said to the blonde girl with a chuckle which got growls from everybody else in response.

"Well, better to be a dumb blonde than a psycho freak who uses everybody else around her as pawns in her psychological torture games!" Sabrina said in defense of her best friend and everyone looked at her with positive awe and respect while also murmuring in agreement.

Scene: Hawk Moth's Lair

Hawk Moth: Yes... I feel the anger rising, my plan is rolling out beautifully. (creates an akuma) Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her!

"So, Sabrina's akuma was meant for you?" Adrien asked his childhood friend with concern who nodded sadly in response.

Scene: Le Grand Paris rooftop.

Sabrina: (approaches Chloé) That's okay. We can still play Ladybug and Cat Noir!

Chloe: PLAY? With you!? Who are YOU anyway? You don't have any powers! You're a nobody! I'm a superheroine, okay? I'm Queen Bee! You and I have NOTHING in common! Go away! (Sabrina runs away crying as an akuma enters Chloé's photograph)

"Sorry, Sabrina," Chloe apologized to her best friend for her behavior that day.

"I get it. You were frustrated," Sabrina said to Chloe with a genuine smile on her face which made the blonde girl smile back.

Hawk Moth (from his lair) My dear Chloé Bourgeois, this is Hawk Moth. Ladybug wants to strip you of your superpowers? Well I can empower you. Come with me and we can recover the Bee Miraculous together. We'll be a team, and your powers will have no limits.

Chloé: No, Hawk Moth! I am a superheroine! I am Queen Bee! Ladybug will come and get me when she needs me! I WILL NEVER JOIN YOU! (throws her photo onto the ground as the akuma exits it... and pants)

"Whoa! Nice one, Chlo!" Adrien said, congratulating his childhood friend for resisting the akuma along with everyone else (except for Lila of course).

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Chloé Bourgeois is really quite... unique. But I can feel a negative emotion not far from her. A friend who could help us achieve our goal. Follow it, my evil akuma!

Scene: Le Grand Paris elevator. Sabrina sadly thinks about the fun times she had with Chloé.

Sabrina: (giggles) Stop tickling me! (sighs as the akuma enters the staff of her costume)

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Miraculer, your friend has rejected you because she is only interested in other people's powers. Well, I'm giving you the power to steal those powers from them, and win back your friendship. And in return, you will bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.

Sabrina: Thank you, Hawk Moth. Chloé and I will be a real team at last! (transforms into Miraculer)

Scene: Place des Vosges.

Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it! (Miraculer appears on top of the merry-go-round)

Cat Noir: Hey, you're a tad on the late side. The fight was five minutes ago.

Miraculer: (mockingly) The fight was five minutes ago. Actually, it's right now! (jumps in front of Ladybug and Cat Noir) You've neglected Chloé one time too many, Ladybug!

Cat Noir: (to Ladybug) I guess you didn't work things out with her, did you?

Ladybug: I was about to, but...

Miraculer: (mockingly) I was about to, but... Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!

Ladybug: (notices her Miraculous beeping) Cat Noir, I'm gonna transform back at any second.

Miraculer: (mockingly) Oh, help me, Cat Noir!

Ladybug: I don't even talk like that! Stop mimicking me! (charges towards Miraculer, who hits her with her staff, causing red ladybug icons to appear on her costume)

Miraculer: Lucky Charm! (receives a sword)

Ladybug: What have you done?

Cat Noir: She's swiped your power! That little copycat! Get back-up, I'll take care of her. Cataclysm! (Miraculer attacks him with her sword; though Cat Noir blocks the attack with his staff, Miraculer manages to steal his powers, causing green cat icons to appear on her costume)

"Huh. I never thought I'd be this dangerous," Sabrina said, commenting her akumatization on-screen and everyone else nodded their heads in agreement and surprise.

Miraculer: What's the phrase again? Oh! Cataclysm! (hits Cat Noir in the ribs, causing him to fly backwards into a fence) Oh, Chloé's gonna love our powers!

"Ouch! Did she just Cataclysm you, dude?!" Nino asked, worried for his best friend along with everyone else.

"Yeah. It just hurt my ribs. I'm lucky it didn't kill me," Adrien said as he winced, remembering the pain of being on the end of a Cataclysm

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) I'm sure you're right, Miraculer. Run and find her now. (Miraculer takes off and an injured Cat Noir heads to a nearby alley)

Cat Noir: Plagg, claws in. (detransforms)

Plagg: So, that's what it feels like to get Cataclysmed. I promise I'll never call the dinosaurs a bunch of wusses ever again.

Adrien: Plagg, grab some Camembert in my jacket. We'll rest for a while 'til Ladybug comes back.

Scene: Master Fu's massage shop. Master Fu takes out the Miracle Box.

Master Fu: 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 get the Miraculous back and return them to me.

Marinette: Miraculer has stolen both of our powers. We're going to need everyone.

Master Fu: Even... Chloé?

Marinette: (picks up the Bee Miraculous) This akumatized person is her best friend. If anyone can help us, it's Chloé.

Chloe smiled at the fact that Marinette/Ladybug still had faith in her as Queen Bee.

Scene: Building roof. Ladybug shows Cat Noir the Bee Miraculous.

Cat Noir: You sure?

Ladybug: This might be her last mission, but we definitely need her this time. (gives Cat Noir the Bee Miraculous. Cat Noir prepares to take off on his staff but falls)

Ladybug: Cat Noir, are you okay?

Cat Noir: (gets back up) Oh, it's nothing. I just got Cataclysmed in the ribs. I'll be fine.

Ladybug: I promise you we'll get our powers back, Cat Noir. And I'll heal you.

Cat Noir: I can't wait. (takes off)

Scene: Le Grand Paris rooftop. Mayura spies on Chloé behind a nearby statue.

Nadja: (on the news) We still don't know how Ladybug and Cat Noir are doing after their latest battle.

Miraculer: (appears behind Chloé) Chloé! I have powers now! We can play together again!

Chloé: Sabrina?

Miraculer: I'm Miraculer now! (hops on one foot towards Chloé) I've stolen Cat Noir and Ladybug's superpowers! Do you want Ladybug's? Then you can be Ladybug, and I'll be Cat Noir! For real! Just like we've always dreamed of!

Chloé: Not like this! You are so far off the mark! I don't wanna be Ladybug, there's only one Ladybug, and she isn't me. I am-

Cat Noir: Queen Bee. (presents the Bee Miraculous to Chloé. Mayura smirks upon seeing Cat Noir with the Bee Miraculous)

Chloé: Ugh! About time, too!

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Right on time! (Chloé is about to grab the Bee Miraculous but Mayura jumps in and snatches it)

Cat Noir: Hey! (Mayura lands next to Miraculer)

Chloé: Who are you?

Mayura: I am Mayura. (shows Chloé the Bee Miraculous) If you team up with us, your dream will finally come true.

Miraculer: Don't worry. She's with Hawk Moth and me.

Cat Noir: Watch out. Your dream sounds more like a nightmare to me.

Miraculer: You'll be the one living the nightmare, kitty.

Scene: Pont des Arts bridge. Alya and Nino are practicing their battle moves whilst holding onto ice cream.

Nino: We're getting good at this.

Alya: Focus, turtle boy. (Once done, the two tap their ice creams together and then spot Ladybug on top of a bridge lamp, who presents them with their Miraculouses)

"As glad as I am that you two are dedicated heroes, please practice your battle moves privately," Marinette begged her best friends who both nodded and giggled in agreement.

Scene: Le Grand Paris rooftop. Cat Noir continues to battle Miraculer while Chloé hides.

Miraculer: Lucky Charm! (receives a blow dryer) Cataclysm! (shoots a Cataclysm out of the blow dryer and hits Cat Noir with it) Ha ha ha ha ha!

Chloé: We wouldn't be in this situation if you and Ladybug had gotten me sooner.

Cat Noir: (sarcastically) Thanks, Chloé. That's super helpful.

Chloé: If I had my Bee Miraculous, I could've helped you. I'd have floored those two by now. (is secretly pulled away by Ladybug, Rena Rouge, and Carapace) Finally!

"We get you're frustrated, Chlo. But this wasn't really the best time to complain," Adrien gently reprimanded the blonde girl who nodded sheepishly in response.

Ladybug: (puts her hand over Chloé's mouth) Shhh! I've got a plan. Just listen.

Miraculer: (while fighting Cat Noir) Stay still, you mangy cat. Here kitty, kitty, kitty. Come on!

Chloé: Sabrina! I've changed my mind. I do want Ladybug's powers. They should've gotten me sooner but since they chose not to, I've decided I'd rather play with you instead.

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Perfect. Just as I planned it. Mayura, grab Cat Noir's Miraculous.

Miraculer: (as Mayura fights Cat Noir) Oh, I'm so happy. We're going to have so much fun. Here's Ladybug's power. (transfers Ladybug's powers to Chloé only to discover that she is really Ladybug in disguise via Rena Rouge's Mirage)

Ladybug: Thank you, Miraculer. I really needed that back.

Chloé: (pushes Carapace and Rena Rouge out of her way) You confused me for a pathetic illusion, and you claim to be my best friend? (An angry Miraculer attempts to re-steal Ladybug's power)

Carapace: Shell-ter! (a barrier forms around Ladybug) Not on my watch!

Miraculer: Cataclysm! (destroys the barrier and then fights Ladybug, Rena Rouge, and Carapace. Mayura manages to overpower Cat Noir and nearly grabs his Miraculous, only to be stopped by Ladybug, who pushes her away from him with her yo-yo)

Ladybug: Cat Noir!

Cat Noir: I'm sorry, m'lady. I held out for as long as I could.

Miraculer: Lucky Charm! (receives a giant mallet) Cataclysm! (destroys the ground beneath Rena Rouge and Carapace. Miraculer charges before Rena Rouge and Carapace and manages to touch the latter with her staff, stealing his powers and causing green turtle icons to appear on her costume. Rena Rouge charges towards Miraculer) Shell-ter! (She blocks Rena Rouge with a barrier and then touches her with her staff, stealing her powers and gaining orange fox icons on her costume)

"Well, that was annoying!" Alya groaned in frustration as she remembered that battle and everyone else grumbled in agreement (except for Lila who smirked).

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Come back, Mayura. You've got the Bee Miraculous already. Miraculer will take care of Cat Noir and Ladybug's Miraculous. (Mayura takes off)

Cat Noir: I've got this! (throws his staff at Mayura, causing her to drop the Bee Miraculous, which Ladybug catches with her yo-yo)

Ladybug: Lost something? (Mayura continues to take off) Chloé, follow Mayura. (tosses the Bee Miraculous towards Chloé) She's probably going back to Hawk Moth.

Chloé: (catches the Bee Miraculous) You won't regret this, Ladybug.

[Transformation Sequence]

Chloé: Pollen, buzz on! (looks unhappy; Chloé transforms into Queen Bee. Queen Bee takes off after Mayura)

Miraculer: Chloé! (fights Rena Rouge)

Scene: Top of a Parisian building. Queen Bee searches for Mayura.

Queen Bee: Where did she go? Ladybug's going to think I'm incompetent! (spots Mayura behind her and fights her) Don't mess with Bee. Stand still!

Mayura: (pins Queen Bee down) Let me ask you just one question. Do you enjoy being Ladybug's servant? Having to wait for her to loan you a Miraculous? Wouldn't you rather have boundless powers of your own?

Queen Bee: (raises eyebrow) Uh, that's three questions.

"Nice roast, Chloe," Alix said to the blonde girl with a chuckle along with everyone else.

"Maybe you should've snarkily asked Mayura if she enjoys being Hawk Moth's servant," Mylene suggested and everyone else (except for Lila of course) once again chuckled as they thought about it.

Mayura: Come with us, Chloé. You can be Queen Bee whenever you want.

Queen Bee: Ladybug gave me a new chance, so I'll give her one, too.

Mayura: You're going to regret this. (prepares to take the Bee Miraculous from her)

Queen Bee: You're going to regret underestimating me, you despicable bird! (escapes Mayura's grasp and holds her down) What would happen if I took this from you? (nearly manages to take the Peacock Miraculous only for Mayura to break free of her grasp and escape) Oh no, no, no. Where did she go? Ugh!

Scene: Le Grand Paris rooftop.

Miraculer: Mirage! (multiple illusions of herself appear around her, which are then destroyed by Carapace's shield and Ladybug's yo-yo - the latter which is then used to grab Miraculer) Cataclysm! (Ladybug pulls the yo-yo away from Miraculer and then Carapace, Rena Rouge, and Cat Noir all restrain her and Carapace attempts to grab her staff) Shell-ter! (a barrier appears around the staff) Good luck getting hold of my akuma now!

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (receives a pillow) A pillow? (Rena Rouge and Carapace try forcing Miraculer to use Cataclysm on Shell-ter, only for her to remove it)

Miraculer: The more there are of you, the dumber you get!

Ladybug: What am I supposed to do with this? (Miraculer manages to shake Cat Noir off her but then Queen Bee shows up and takes his place)

Queen Bee: Tickles!

"Good thing I know at least one thing about you, Sabrina. You're extremely ticklish," Chloe said as she looked at that moment on-screen with a giggle and everyone else (except for Lila) joined in on the giggling in response to Miraculer's laughter from being tickled.

Ladybug: Of course. (sees Miraculer's staff, armpit, and rips apart the pillow to see a feather)

Miraculer: (to Queen Bee) I thought we were friends!

Queen Bee: Well, you were wrong. Sabrina is my friend, not Miraculer. (Ladybug begins to tickle Miraculer's armpit with a feather)

Miraculer: (laughs) That tickles!

Ladybug: Want some more?

Miraculer: No, no! Shell-ter! (the barrier moves from Miraculer's staff to her armpit, allowing Ladybug to grab and break it, releasing the akuma)

"This is the second supervillain we defeated by tickling, m'lady. Maybe we should have all Parisians do a survey on whether they're extremely ticklish or not just to save us some time if they ever get akumatized," Adrien jokingly suggested and everyone else (including Marinette but excluding Lila) burst into laughter as they thought about it.

Ladybug: No more evil doing for you, little akuma! (spins yo-yo) Time to de-evilize! (captures akuma) Gotcha! Bye-bye, little butterfly. (throws pillow in the air) Miraculous Ladybug! (Cat Noir's ribs are healed and Miraculer turns back into Sabrina)

"Pound it!" Marinette, Adrien, Alya, Nino, and Chloe did a five-way fist-bump before the main couple kissed in victory.

Queen Bee: Ladybug. Mayura got away from me. I'm sorry, utterly sorry.

Ladybug: That's okay, Queen Bee. We'll get her next time. (reaches hand out for the Bee Miraculous)

Queen Bee: If you'd given it to me earlier, we'd probably would've defeated Hawk Moth.

Ladybug: I'm sorry, Chloé. I should've told you this a long time ago. I might never be able to let you be Queen Bee again.

Queen Bee: What? But I did everything you asked me to.

Ladybug: I know. But this is for your own safety. It's too dangerous for you and your loved ones because Hawk Moth knows that you're Queen Bee.

Queen Bee: Buzz off. (turns back into Chloé and gives Miraculous to Ladybug)

Chloé: I understand. But I'm sure that you'll need me again, Ladybug. I know that I'll be Queen Bee again someday. I will always be Queen Bee.

Ladybug: (notices her Miraculous beeping) Thank you, Chloé. Let's go. (takes off with Rena Rouge and Carapace)

Cat Noir: Ladies. (bows and takes off)

Sabrina: (to Chloé) I guess you'll never wanna play with me again now.

Chloé: (pulls out her photograph) Of course I will. I just don't wanna be Ladybug anymore. (rips her photo in half and throws it on the ground) You can keep the costume if you want.

Sabrina: Oh, goody!

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Mayura: I'm sorry, Hawk Moth. I failed.

Hawk Moth: No, Mayura. We've set the stage for the future. Queen Bee will change her mind.

"Oh, please! I'm not that easy like Rossi over there!" Chloe scoffed at the idea and Lila responded with a scowl while everyone else secretly looked uncertain given Chloe ripped her photo with Ladybug in half.

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Lila is talking to another student when Chloé approaches her.

Chloé: Hey, you!

Lila: Chloé!

Chloé: That magic code you told me to call Ladybug? It was just a big joke, wasn't it?

Lila: Of course it wasn't. Why? Weren't you with Ladybug yesterday?

Chloé: Uh... yes?

Lila: So it worked then.

Chloé: Uh... yes? Okay, fine! You're not completely useless! (walks away with Sabrina while Lila smirks)

Marinette: I hope I didn't hurt Chloé's feelings too much. She's worked so hard.

Tikki: It's for her own good. And you're also protecting Ladybug and Cat Noir by doing that. That's what being a superheroine is all about.

"I now realize that you won't let me be Queen Bee as much as I want to because you wanted to protect me, Marinette. But if you ever really need Queen Bee, I'll be right here," Chloe said to Marinette who responded with a nod and smile.

"OK, the next episode is one of my favorites: Oblivio," Angel announced which got the two heroes looking at each other and widening their eyes in surprise.

"Is that the one where Nino and I made everyone else lose their memories?" Alya asked and Angel nodded in confirmation.

"Oh, heads-up. The episode starts AFTER you two heroes have been hit and lost your memories. So, you'll see parts of the battle you've forgotten," Angel quickly pointed out, which got the audience excited to see how the two heroes managed to defeat Oblivio with their memories lost. "Alright, let's start!"
