101. Optigami

Scene: Agreste Mansion. Gabriel and Nathalie are discussing matters in Nathalie's bedroom.

Nathalie: This is what we learned, thanks to the akumatization of Chloé Bourgeois as Miracle Queen. (Optigami flies nearby as Nathalie shows Gabriel the true identities of Rena Rouge, Queen Bee, Ryuko, King Monkey, Viperion, Pegasus and Carapace on her screen.)

"That was Optigami that just flew by," Angel said as she pointed to the sentimonster on-screen much to her audience's shock.

Gabriel: Yes... I remember...

Scene: Trocadéro. A scene from "Miracle Queen" plays.

Miracle Queen: People of Paris, listen to Miracle Queen's first order! From now on, no one will have to keep his identity a secret. All the Miraculous wearers, come to me! (Under the control of Miracle Queen, Alya, Nino, Max, Luka, Kagami and Kim walk towards Miracle Queen.)

Hawk Moth: (excitedly) Yes! Yes! No more hiding!

"Thanks for the utterly ridiculous reminder," Chloe muttered as she angrily thought about the actions that cost her the chance of becoming a superhero ever again in the alternate future.

Scene: Agreste Mansion, Present.

Nathalie: Since then, (Optigami files and lands on Nathalie's finger) I created Optigami.

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair. Mayura charges a feather in her hand.

Mayura: My beautiful amok, bring my creation to life! (puts the amok in her tablet. She concentrates her power and creates the sentimonster Optigami, which flies onto her finger) Optigami, I am Mayura. (Optigami opens its eyes, then flies out) Be my eyes and discover all of Ladybug's secrets.

Scene: Streets. Optigami flies into the yellow light of a traffic light, and opens its eyes to spy on Luka delivering a pizza.

Nathalie: Under my control, Optigami followed each of the Miraculous holders. Alas, they're just ordinary teenagers-

Scene: Swimming pool. Optigami flies into a lifeguard's chair, and opens its eyes to spy on Kim, who is happily swimming.

Nathalie: (continued) –who spend their time between school and extracurricular activities.

Scene: Art classroom. Optigami flies into a statue's head, and opens its eyes to spy on Max, who is playing chess with Markov.

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair. Mayura watches what Optigami sees through her tablet, which displays Kagami fencing.

Nathalie: (continued) True, Ladybug sometimes trusts them with a Miraculous.

Scene: Streets. Scenes from "Mega Leech" through Optigami's point of view in which Ladybug gives Miraculous to Max and Kagami, as well as Nino giving back his Miraculous, and her covertly going into the sewers, all play.

Nathalie: (continued) But she's established rules that prevent anyone from discovering her secret identity: she never shows her face, always takes back the Miraculous, and makes sure no one ever follows her.

Scene: Sewers. Optigami flies around searching for Ladybug.

Nathalie: (continued) Even Optigami couldn't stay on her tail.

Scene: Nathalie's room, back in present day.

Nathalie: We will learn nothing more with the Sentimonster.

"So as you can see, Optigami's objective is to spy on all the Miraculous holders that were exposed during Miracle Queen, hoping it will lead to finding out Ladybug's identity," Angel summarized what Nathalie just said as her audience nodded in understanding while also looked in shock.

"OK, that's just creepy!" Sabrina said in response to Optigami on-screen and everyone else murmured in agreement, creeped out as well.

"I hope that thing doesn't spy on us whenever we take a shower or something," Kim noted nervously towards Optigami on-screen.

"Thanks for that image, meathead!" Alix sarcastically muttered as everyone else groaned in disgust of Kim's hypothetical image.

Gabriel: On the contrary, I believe that it will help us finally discover who is behind Ladybug's mask. There's a flaw when the holder gives their miraculous back. (Pointing at the video of Nino giving his Miraculous back to Ladybug) There. Imagine if Optigami was hiding in the Miraculous Ladybug took back. It would lead us straight to her home, unknowingly.

Nathalie: Brilliant. But how do you plan to do that?

Gabriel: I need an event where all the holders will be sure to come, and a supervillain who will force Ladybug to assign a Miraculous if she wants to defeat it. And I know just the right person for it.

Scene: Montparnasse Tower. Audrey is insulting an employee.

Audrey: Are you serious?! Where is the glitter that I asked for? You're useless, utterly useless. (her phone rings) Shoo, shoo! (Audrey picks up her phone after hearing it ringing.)

Gabriel: Audrey, once again this idea was formidable.

Audrey: Utterly formidable, you mean! ... What was the idea again?

"Not much brains on your mom, are there?" Alix asked Chloe in a deadpan manner as she and everyone else also facepalmed in response.

"Shut up," Chloe muttered as she wanted to defend her mother, but she couldn't help but agree with that question.

Gabriel: This new award by your magazine, the Fashion Icon of the Month, and I was thinking, what better way to launch the award than by electing my son?

Audrey: (interested) I'll take care of the invitations right now.

Scene: In Marinette's room, Marinette is looking at her invitation with a picture of Adrien.

Alya: (To the kwamis) Basically, everyone's invited to this party, where Adrien's gonna receive the Fashion Icon award from Style Queen magazine! (We see that Marinette is standing, looking at the invitation dreamily.) That's why she's been paralyzed for ten minutes.

"Ten minutes? Is that all?" Angel jokingly asked and the audience laughed hard in response while Marinette blushed red in embarrassment.

Roaar: Roar! Since everyone's invited, can we come too?

Kwamis: Yeah!

Marinette: Wait a sec. Sorry, but you know the rule. (holds hand up) No holder, no wander. (folds arms)

Trixx: In that case, I can come since I have a holder.

Marinette: Technically no, I hold on to her Miraculous.

Trixx: Well then, just give it to her permanently.

Alya: Trixx isn't wrong, Marinette. Now that I know you're Ladybug, I can help you.

Marinette: No, that'd be too risky. You know the rule: no Miraculous out of my sight, no flight.

"You know, girl, you don't have to rhyme your rules," Alya teasingly said to her blushing best friend with everyone else chuckling in agreement.

Alya: You're the guardian, your call. (holds up phone with picture of Adrien) Besides, it's time to go see Adrien, our Fashion Icon. (Marinette looks at Alya and turns around, blushes and looks at the invitation)

Marinette: Adrien!

Everyone in the audience (except for Marinette) groaned jokingly in annoyance while Marinette continued to blush redder in embarrassment.

Scene: Montparnasse Tower. Marinette, Adrien, Alya, Nino, Luka, Kagami, Max and Kim are seen walking towards the entrance, where a large poster of Adrien is shown. They walk to an elevator.

"Should we-or at least I be suspicious that all the Miraculous holders that were exposed during Miracle Queen are the only ones at this award ceremony? Even I bet Chloe would be there since her mom's presenting the award," Marinette noted about which of her friends attended the ceremony on-screen.

"Well, since you don't know who Shadow Moth is, you have no reason to believe that this whole thing is a trap," Angel answered and after some thought, everyone else nodded in agreement.

Nino and Alya: Yeah! (they perform their "secret handshake") Pew pew! Pew pew! (laughs)

Kim: I bet I can get there before the elevator does! Max, time me.

Max: Ready.. GO! (Kim sprints off toward the staircase.)

"Seriously, jockstrap?" Alix asked her athletic rival in exasperation along with everyone else about him sprinting up the stairs on-screen.

"Hey! It's never a wrong time to work out," Kim said, trying to defend himself as he also flexed his muscles much to everyone else's eye-rolling annoyance.

Alya: (whispering to Marinette) Elevators are perfect for getting close to your secret crush! (pushes Marinette towards the elevator, where Adrien is)

Marinette: What? No! (uncomfortable, she pushes her hands forwards on the wall, and pushes against it while Alya tries to push her in) What if we accidentally... touch?! (In the elevator, Kagami and Max look on negatively while Adrien and Luka merely smile at Marinette. The elevator eventually closes, leaving Marinette, Alya and Nino the only ones behind) Let's.. not rush things, 'kay?

Scene: On the stage. Audrey Bourgeois stands with Adrien Agreste on the stage, as well as a presenter and Chloé Bourgeois.

Nino and Alya: Yeah! (they do their 'secret handshake') Pew pew! Pew pew! (they laugh; Marinette smiles at them)

Audrey: Urgh! If you don't start filming this instant, you're fired!

Unnamed presenter: But we have to wait for Alec. He's the MC!

Audrey: Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! (Optigami is seen flying into an Adrien poster, watching)

"Like I said: creepy! Especially the wandering eyes," Sabrina noted once again about Optigami with everyone else once again murmuring in agreement.

Scene: Nathalie's room. Nathalie taps a control panel, which is broadcasting the fashion show.

Nathalie: Optigami is in place sir.

Shadow Moth: Ladybug has no idea that her defeat will be captured on film. Icing on the cake.

Scene: Male restroom. Shadow Moth gets his hand fan out, while Alec plays a game on his phone in a stall.

"My father is Shadow Moth in public again?!" Adrien asked, exasperated along with everyone else and Angel nodded in confirmation.

Alec: Yeah! Come on!

Shadow Moth: (holds a feather, evilizes it into an amok, and puts it into his cane. He holds a hand out and creates a sentimonster version of Alec)

Alec: (walking out of his stall, he is flabbergasted at seeing Sentialec) Hey! What's that?

Shadow Moth: Sentialec, you're up.

Sentialec: At your command, Shadow Moth. (As Sentialec walks out of the restroom, the real Alec sits on the floor cowardly.)

"Wait till the public finds out that Shadow Moth can create sentimonster clones of people. That's most likely gonna cause more paranoia in Paris," Angel noted in response to Sentialec on-screen and everyone else murmured in agreement, similarly nervous.

Scene: Stage. Sentialec kicks the door open and dances on. The audience applauded him.

Audrey: It's about time.

Unnamed presenter: Roll!

Sentialec: You won't be disappointed!

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: (speaking through Sentialec) You'll see. It was worth the wait.

Scene: Dupain-Cheng Apartment. Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng are watching the event on TV.

Sentialec: (shown on TV) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the outdated headquarters of Style Queen Magazine. That's almost as outdated as Audrey Bourgeois herself!

Scene: Stage. Audrey gasps, and the audience mock her, but Marinette, Alya and Nino exchange concerned looks. Chloé also laughs loudly, but recovers herself, but Audrey becomes even more angered thanks to her daughter.

Sentialec: Well, well, has the Queen suddenly lost her voice?

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: (continuing) What a shame. She could have told you that this whole award ceremony is rigged.

"Well, this is certainly gonna peeve off my mom," Chloe said in response to Sentialec's insulting words towards her mother.

"I'm just surprised that sentimonster can imitate Alec perfectly," Angel noted about Sentialec on-screen and everyone else murmured in agreement.

Scene: Stage.

Sentialec: (to Adrien) Sorry, my boy. (looks smugly at Audrey)

Audrey: (shoves Adrien off the stage) That's false! Utterly false! (to the audience) Don't listen to him. (back to Sentialec) You! How dare you?! You're-

Sentialec: (interrupting Audrey and finishing her sentence) Fired! Haha! Too late! You utterly ridiculed yourself already. (The audience continues to laugh cruelly. Audrey looks down, miserable and in tears.)

"Wow! I've never seen my mother so…defeated," Chloe said in response to her mother's defeated look on-screen, shocked as well as everyone else.

"I think this is the first time I've ever felt sorry for the woman," Angel said and everyone else murmured in agreement.

Scene: Male restroom. Shadow Moth releases an akuma.

Shadow Moth: Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize this wonderfully vile queen again.

Scene: Hallways. The akuma flies out of the restroom through the hallways.

Scene: Stage. The akuma flies towards Audrey. Sentialec looks at the akuma and steps away. The akuma enters the flower pin on Audrey's hat.

Shadow Moth: (from bathroom) Style Queen, I am Shadow Moth. This MC has lost all sense of style and class.

Audrey: (interrupts) Spare me the boring speech, Shadow Moth! Give me back my powers and I'll give you the two trinkets you're so obsessed with!

Shadow Moth: (from bathroom) Immediately, my queen. (A purple cloud engulfs Audrey, replacing her with Style Queen. The audience runs away. Marinette looks at Alya determinedly and Alya nods.)

Alya: (whispers to Nino) We gotta be ready in case Ladybug needs us. Come on. (Nino and Alya go one way while Marinette goes the opposite way.)

Sentialec: (mockingly) Glitter? Really? For a style queen, you sure are a fashion victim. (runs away laughing)

Style Queen: 'You're' the only victim around here! (She fires at Sentialec, but he jumps over a couch, and the beam turns the couch into a pile of glitter. Sentialec runs away laughing. She then aims at Chloé and Adrien, but then her arm is torn off when Kagami throws a chair at her.)

Kagami: Go, Adrien! Run!

Adrien: Kagami, NO!

Style Queen: (her arm returns) Since you want to play the hero, you'll be the first to get fired! (blasts her staff at Kagami, turning her into a pile of glitter. Adrien and Chloé run away.)

"As well as Alec, Style Queen is also targeting all the Miraculous holders under Shadow Moth's command. And instead of golden glitter statues, she turns them into golden glitter ashes. So, Ryuko is the first one down," Angel explained about Style Queen's return in which everyone else nodded in understanding.

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: Kagami Tsurugi, holder of the Miraculous of the Dragon, neutralized.

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: We must find the others before Ladybug shows up.

Scene: Elevator. Adrien goes inside the lift and Plagg flies out of his shirt and just when he is about to transform into Cat Noir, Marinette goes into the lift as well to become Ladybug.

Adrien: Plagg, Cl- (Marinette runs inside the elevator)

Marinette: Tik- (noticing Adrien, she panics) -ki! Tik! Tik! Tik! Tik! Tok! Tik! It's time to get out of here!

Adrien: Uh, yeah! I was about to go and get some help. (press a button on the elevator)

Marinette: How gorgeous of you- I mean, how brave of you! (The elevator door closes) Ladybug will show up.

Adrien: Yes, and Cat Noir. (Both look away from each other, worried.)

"Well, this is awkward," Adrien noted about the interaction between himself and Marinette on-screen in which the blue-haired girl nodded in agreement while everyone else snickered in response.

Scene: Stage. Style Queen is looking for Sentialec.

Style Queen: Alec...

Chloe: (appears from behind a table, giving her the location of Sentialec) This way, Mom! I saw him!

Style Queen: I saw you laugh when that MC ridiculed me. (fires from her cane) You're fired, haha! (Chloe grabs Zoé to use her as a human shield but they both get turned into glitter)

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: Chloe Bourgeois, holder of the Miraculous of the Bee, neutralized. Optigami, go find the others.

"Yeah, Chloe, even when you helped those two during Miracle Queen, you're still a target to them as Queen Bee. So, Queen Bee…and Vesperia down," Angel noted much to everyone else's surprise, especially Chloe.

Scene: Office. Optigami flies out from the cup it was hiding in.

Scene: Stairs. Max is helping people escape Style Queen.

Max: This is the safest way. Run, run, go, go! (Optigami flies into a fire extinguisher)

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: Max Kanté, holder of the Miraculous of the Horse, located.

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: It seems like some know-it-alls are trying to get out of here, my dear queen.

Scene: Stage.

Style Queen: No one can escape my unrivaled style! Rah! (Golden swirls surround her and expand.)

Scene: Elevator. Marinette and Adrien collapse as it rumbles.

Scene: Outside the Montparnasse Tower. The outside of the building turns into gold, with a statue of Style Queen's head at the top.

Scene: Lobby Room. Max and the other guests worry, realizing that they are trapped inside.

Style Queen: (appears) No underdressed slob gets out of here without a makeover! (activates the power from her staff to turn the victims into glitter.)

"And Pegasus down," Angel noted.

Scene: Elevator. Both Adrien and Marinette touch the elevator button at the same time.

Adrien and Marinette: (simultaneously) Sorry.

Marinette: The elevator doesn't work. (Adrien and Marinette pull on the elevator doors, trying to open it, but they end up falling)

Adrien: It's too hard.

Marinette: I'm sure Cat Noir will come along to save us.

Adrien: Yeah, or Ladybug. (Marinette turns her back to Adrien and types and sends a message on her phone to Alya)

"You two are stuck in the elevator together, so it'd be a while until you transform," Angel noted to the two heroes who are nervous of that outcome on-screen as well as everyone else.

Scene: Stage. Alya and Nino hide behind a table, frightened. Alya's phone rings; she picks it up and reads Marinette's message.

Marinette: (voiceover) I'm stuck in the elevator! (Alya sends a message back)

Scene: Elevator. Marinette reads Alya's message.

Alya: (voiceover) With Adrien, LOL? (Embarrassed, Marinette looks at Adrien, who smiles at her reassuringly. She sends another message to Alya.)

Scene: Stage. Alya reads Marinette's new message.

Marinette: (voiceover) Yeah! (Alya grimaces, and types a message back, while Nino receives a message from Adrien)

Adrien: (voiceover) I'm stuck in an elevator with Marinette.

Nino: (smiles, and turns to Alya) This is so cool! Marinette and Adrien are stuck together.

Alya: (nods and laughs awkwardly) Yeah, that's awesome, and not at all a problem! (starts texting back to Marinette)

Scene: Elevator. Marinette picks up her phone to read Alya's latest message.

Alya: (voiceover) How are you gonna do what you need to do?

Scene: Stage. Alya reads Marinette's latest text.

Marinette: (voiceover) I have a plan, but I need some time alone.

Alya: (puts her phone away, turns to Nino) I need to find a way to let Ladybug know that we're here, in case she's looking for us.

Nino: I'll go with you!

Alya: Err... n-n-n-n-no! We should split up! If Style Queen gets to me first at least you'll be able to do something.

Nino: I won't let that happen, believe me.

Alya: Okay... but first I gotta make a pitstop, if you know what I mean. Wait here, (kisses Nino on the cheek) I'll be right back. (she gets up and runs away)

Scene: Male restroom. Sentialec walks in.

"What a coward! He just sat there helplessly watching Shadow Moth do his thing!" Alix noted about Alec Cataldi in which everyone else murmured in agreement in annoyance.

"I know! If that was me, I would at least try to wrestle him down!" Kim said confidently in response as he flexed his muscles once again.

Shadow Moth: I release you from your existence, Sentialec. (with the snap of his fingers, Sentialec dissolves. The real Alec is in complete shock and disbelief. He rises from the corner he's been huddling in and bolts out of the restroom)

Scene: Corridor. Alec is running away.

Alec: Supervillan? Ha, super-moron! Right? (gets turned into golden dust by Style Queen)

Everyone in the audience groaned in exasperation and annoyance that Alec stupidly got himself hit by Style Queen on-screen.

Style Queen: Right!

Shadow Moth: (to Style Queen, through telepathic connection) Some still mock you in the air ducts.

Style Queen: Urgh! (teleports inside a nearby air duct)

Scene: Air Ducts. Luka and Wayhem crawl through.

Luka: (reassures a terrified Wayhem) Hold on, it's going to be okay. (As they continue to crawl, they are taken by surprise by a golden light rushing towards them; they get turned into golden dust by Style Queen. Optigami flies out of the walls and away.)

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: Luka Couffaine, holder of the Miraculous of the Snake, neutralized.

"Viperion down," Angel noted.

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: Only three left.

Scene: Elevator. Marinette is scrolling the contacts on her phone and dials a contact with a blank red profile picture.

Scene: Inside Marinette's sewing box, next to the Chinese Miracle Box.

Longg: Ha-ha! (stops when he hears the phone next to him ringing. The rest of the kwamis stop what they are currently doing) It's the guardian's emergency cell!

Scene: Elevator. Marinette has her phone up to her ear.

Kwamis: Hello?!

Marinette: Aaahh! (taken by surprise by the kwamis' loud speaking, she drops her phone)

Adrien: Who is it?

Marinette: (quickly picks up her phone, scrambling) Uh- I'm... I'm, uh, calling... I'm calling the fire department! Hello! Fire department? We're trapped in an elevator in the Montparnasse Tower.

Scene: Inside Marinette's sewing box.

Longg: Got it! We're taking off!

Scene: Elevator.

Marinette: Uh no, no! Don't fly here because... um... helicopters are bad for the environment! Maybe... maybe come on horseback instead.

Scene: Corridor. Style Queen hears Marinette speaking in the elevator; smirking, she walks over there.

Scene: Nathalie's room. She also hears a voice in the elevator, so she sends Optigami into the elevator to see who is in there.

Marinette: You got that fire department on horseback?

Longg: Horse, she means you Kaalki!

Kaalki: I am not a horse; I am a noble steed! I was the companion to the most glorious heroes! She might be talking about Fluff.

Sass: Of course! In prehistoric times, horses and rabbits had a common ancestor.

Fluff: Let's go back to prehistoric times!

"WHAT?!" The humans in the audience asked in exasperated confusion.

"She obviously means you, Kaalki! This is no time for your self-entitlement issues!" Tikki reprimanded her fellow kwami in which everyone else murmured in agreement while Kaalki just frowned and held her nose up in the air.

Marinette: No no, not prehistoric times! (looks at Adrien, smiling at him. Adrien looks shocked, when he sees eyes through the elevator, then grabs Marinette)

Adrien: Shh! (Marinette looks at the eyes, then disconnects from her phone communication with the kwamis)

Barkk: Hello? Hello? Hello? She's in trouble for sure, what are we gonna do?

Wayzz: We stay calm. She'll call back. (Marinette and Adrien tried to not make a sound after seeing that they are being watched)

Style Queen: Ha ha! (Marinette looks concerned since she needs to transform but can't since she is trapped and Adrien is also concerned about him transforming into Cat Noir. Plagg shakes his head.)

Adrien: Argh, I...

Marinette: I...

Marinette and Adrien: ...have to tell you something.

"Do we finally reveal each other's identities?!" Adrien asked, both excitedly and nervously along with everyone else, especially Marinette.

"Extremely close to, but no," Angel answered in which half of the audience sighed in relief while the other half sighed in disappointment.

Nathalie: It's only your son, he's safe with one of his classmates. She's not on our list.

Shadow Moth: There's no one in that elevator, Style Queen. (The eyes from the elevator disappear.)

"Well, that was both extremely lucky and ironic," Marinette noted and everyone else chuckled in agreement.

Adrien: Phew, what were you gonna tell me?

Marinette: Uh, nothing, you?

Adrien: Just I was wondering what that eye thing was.

Marinette: I don't know but we better lay low. I'll text Alya and ask if she can call for help. (texts Alya)

Scene: Hallway. Style Queen walks through the hallway.

Kim: (opens the door and is tired) So, here first, huh?

Style Queen: Everyone's a loser today! (zaps Kim as he is turn into golden glitter)

"You're just that easy, aren't you?" Alix rhetorically asked the teen athlete in exasperation along with everyone else while Kim frowned in response.

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: Kim Nguyen, holder of the Miraculous of the Monkey, neutralized.

"King Monkey down," Angel noted.

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: That leaves us Alya Césaire and Nino Lahiffe, the fox and the turtle. (talks through telepathic connection to Style Queen) Style Queen, only two left. (She walks through the hallway to find others)

Scene: Stairs. Alya is seen looking carefully down the stairs, then receives a text from Marinette.

Marinette: (voiceover) Call this number! (Alya looks at her phone seeing that Marinette send her a number, she calls the number)

Alya: Hello?

Trixx: I knew the guardian should have let me go to the party!

Alya: Trixx? (Alya receives a call from Nino. She declines Nino's call)

Scene: Stage.

Alya: (voiceover) Hey there, it's Alya, if you want to stay connected, leave a message! (Nino seems worried about her, so he go out of the building without being seen by Style Queen)

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: Nino Lahiffe, located. Alone.

"UH-OH!" Everyone in the audience exclaimed, nervous for Nino on-screen.

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: Style Queen, you're up.

Scene: Hallway. Nino looks around to see if the villain is there, when he walks further, he is turned into golden glitter. Style Queen smiles, after she turned one of the two targets into glitter.

"No!" Alya groaned in annoyance and despair in response to her boyfriend being hit by Style Queen on-screen with Nino cuddling her in an attempt to comfort her.

"And Carapace down. Only Rena Rouge left," Angel noted to her audience.

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: I know the perfect bait to lure our last target out of her hiding place. (holds an amok, evilizes it, and puts it into his cane. He holds a hand out and makes a Sentimonster of Nino) Sentinino, I am Shadow Moth. You will help me find Alya Césaire.

"OK, that's just super creepy, dudes!" Nino exclaimed with a cringed disgusted face in response to the sentimonster clone of himself that Shadow Moth created on-screen in which everyone else murmured in agreement.

Scene: Stairs. Alya walks down the stairs, then stops when she hears Sentinino calling her name.

Scene: Hallway.

Sentinino: (shouting) Alya? Alya?

Scene: Stairs. Alya still stands after Nino is calling her name. Kaalki suddenly appears with her superpower.

Kaalki: Come on, saddle up!

Sentinino: (background voiceover) Alya? Alya? Alya? (Alya runs through the teleportation portal. As she enters the room, it closes)

Scene: Marinette's room.

Alya: Um, Kaalki, when a kwami uses their power without their holder, doesn't it usually set off some kind of catastrophe?

Kaalki: (gasps in disbelief) I never set off catastrophes! Only exceptional events.

Scene: Desert. Kaalki's Voyage sent the Eiffel Tower to a desert.

"And the Eiffel Tower is in a desert," Angel pointed out in a deadpan manner in which most of the audience looked at what happened to the Eiffel Tower on-screen in jaw-dropping shock. Some others like Marinette and Master Fu facepalmed in exasperation.

Scene: Marinette's room. Alya receives a text from Marinette.

Marinette: (voiceover) Don't forget to take the Bee Miraculous, Alya. It's essential to the plan.

"But both me and Zoe are golden ashes. How will you use the Miraculous?" Chloe asked her former arch-rival nervously in confusion as well as everyone else.

"In that case, I think I'm gonna merge with the Bee Miraculous instead," Marinette said as soon as he got the idea and after some thought, everyone else nodded in understanding and agreement.

Alya: I know, girl, don't worry! (Alya unlocks the sewing box to get the Fox and Bee Miraculous) Time to shine, guys!

Trixx and Pollen: Yeah! (Pollen goes into the Bee Miraculous)

[Transformation Sequence]

Alya: Trixx, let's pounce! (Alya transforms into Rena Rouge)

Rena Rouge: Mirage! (an illusion of Ladybug is created) And voila! A cool little Ladybug illusion to keep Style Queen busy while I'll… (Rena Rouge looks at the Turtle Miraculous container on the Miracle Box and takes the Miraculous with Wayzz going into it.)

Longg: Did the guardian ask you to do that?

Rena Rouge: Just a precaution.

"And since it's not the real Nino I'm giving the Turtle Miraculous to, this will seriously backfire on us, right?" Alya asked as she groaned in exasperation towards herself on-screen while everyone else gave Angel their full attention for the answer.

"It almost did. But luckily, Ladybug managed to catch on before it's too late. You'll see," Angel said as everyone else sighed

Kaalki: Voyage! (Rena Rouge, Kaalki, and the Ladybug illusion run through the Voyage as it closes)

Scene: The Moon. Kaalki's Voyage sent the Arc de Triomphe to the moon.

"And the Arc de Triomphe is on the moon," Angel noted about another of Kaalki's disastrous side effects of her superpower much to their jaw-dropping shock again.

Scene: Montparnasse Tower stairway. Rena Rouge checks if the coast is clear and she and Kaalki run one way while the Ladybug illusion runs the other way. Rena is running when she hears Sentinino calling for Alya and runs to him.

Sentinino: (shouting) Alya? Alya? Alya? Alya? Alya? (Optigami hides in the wall to spy on them)

Rena Rouge: Shh, shh! Style Queen might hear you.

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Natalie: Alya Césaire located, sir, but she's already transformed into Rena Rouge and she's with a kwami.

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: What?!

Scene: Hallway.

Rena Rouge: Here, your Miraculous.

Shadow Moth through Sentinino: Why are you the one giving it to me?

Rena Rouge: Ladybug gave me a mission while she's dealing with Style Queen. Transform yourself and help her. I'll meet up later.

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: The only person Ladybug entrusted to distribute a Miraculous in the past was Cat Noir.

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: Seems Alya Césaire is not just any holder, be that as it may our plan has not been compromised. Wayzz…

Scene: Hallway.

Sentinino: …Shell On! (Sentinino transforms into Senticarapace)

Nathalie: Optigami, merge with the Miraculous. (Optigami hides within the Turtle Miraculous and Senticarapace runs down the hall to where Style Queen is)

"UH-OH!" Everyone in the audience exclaimed in nervous response to Optigami merging with the Turtle Miraculous on-screen.

Scene: Stage. Senticarapace watches as Style Queen fights the Ladybug illusion.

Shadow Moth through Senticarapace: Today, I promise you a great victory Ladybug, but what you don't know is that thanks to Optigami, your victory will also be mine!

Scene: Elevator. Adrien and Marinette are standing against each side of the elevator and Rena Rouge comes in through a Voyage portal.

Rena Rouge: Everything's fine. Ladybug sent me to get you out of the tower and to shelter before I head out to help her fight Style Queen. Kaalki!

Kaalki: Voyage!

Rena Rouge: You first. (Rena drags Adrien through the portal. The portal closes)

Tikki: Wow, Marinette, that was very well played!

Marinette: Thanks. Tikki, spots on! (Shows outside of elevator as Marinette transforms)

Scene: Paris rooftops.

Rena Rouge: Stay here, I'll be back for you as soon as we defeated the villain. (enters the portal and it disappears)

Adrien: It's not going to be easy to get back into that tower.

Plagg: Then let's go home.

Adrien: No, not just yet. Plagg claws out! (Transforms behind roof chimney)

Scene: Elevator. Rena Rouge teleports back to the elevator and hi-fives Ladybug.

Ladybug: Good job, girls!

Rena Rouge: That was some mission, right, Kaalki?

Kaalki: True, we did act with some mastery.

Ladybug: Just so I know, how many times did you use your power?

Kaalki: (nervous) Uhh, a certain amount of times...?

Ladybug: I don't even want to imagine the catastrophes those teleportations may have caused...!

Scene: Ocean, Volcano, and Moon. It shows Kaalki's teleportations brought the Startrain under the sea, the TVi Studio into a volcano, and the Grand Palais and some vehicles on the moon and in orbit around Earth.

"Yeah, that's a big problem!" Adrien exclaimed nervously as he and the rest of the audience reacted in jaw-dropping shock to more of the disastrous side effects of Kaalki's superpower.

Scene: Elevator.

Ladybug: (Puts on the Bee Miraculous) There's no time to lose!

[Transformation Sequence]

Ladybug: Tikki, Pollen: Unify! (She is then transformed into Lady Bee)

"Ugh! You are such a Queen Bee wannabe!" Chloe jokingly scoffed at Marinette's transformation into Lady Bee in which most of the audience chuckled in response.

Scene: Stage. Lady Bee and Rena Rouge watch as Style Queen fights the Ladybug illusion behind some tables.

Lady Bee: Amazing job Rena. (Lady Bee spots Senticarapace sneaking around, unaware that he's a Sentimonster) Carapace?

Rena Rouge: There's never too many of us to help, right?

Lady Bee: Mmm, you're right. Carapace will be useful to us. (Lady Bee and Rena hide behind a table so she could summon her Lucky Charm)

Lady Bee: (whispering) Lucky Charm. (She gets a small mirror. She looks around but doesn't see anything she could do with her mirror) Weird, I think I can beat Style Queen without my Lucky Charm. Well, the important thing is to beat her no matter how. Now, call back your illusion. (Lady Bee runs off while Style Queen is still fighting the Ladybug illusion)

"Just so you all know in advance, the Lucky Charm isn't for Style Queen, it's for the sentimonsters," Angel noted to her audience as they glued their eyes to the screen, intrigued.

Style Queen: So, you want to play hide and seek, Ladybug?

Rena Rouge: Reality. (The Ladybug illusion vanishes as Style Queen blasts the table she was hiding behind. Style Queen groans in annoyance. Lady Bee sneaks up behind Senticarapace which surprises him)

Lady Bee: Carapace, I need you to protect me.

Senticarapace: Got it!

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: I'll follow your lead. (laughs evilly) Don't worry, I won't say anything to Style Queen, Ladybug. I'll protect you because nothing should prevent you from winning today!

Scene: Stage. Lady Bee summons Venom and prepares to ambush Style Queen.

Lady Bee: Venom! (Style Queen attempts to blast Lady Bee into dust but is stopped by Senticarapace's Shell-ter.)

Senticarapace: Shell-ter!

Style Queen: What? (Style Queen keeps blasting at Lady Bee, but Senticarapace drops the shield.)

Senticarapace: Shell off! (Lady Bee uses her Venom and immobilizes Style Queen.)

Lady Bee: Buzz off! (Lady Bee transforms into Ladybug and breaks Style Queen's rose that contains the akuma.)

Ladybug: (opens her yo-yo to capture the akuma) No more evil doing for you little akuma! Time to de-evilize! (captures akuma and purifies it) Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. (Style Queen turns back into Audrey.)

Audrey: Ladybug?

Scene: Outside of Montparnasse Tower.

Cat Noir: Cataclysm! (The building turns back to normal before Cataclysm can be used and Cat Noir opens the door.)

"Well, that was anticlimactic," Adrien noted, bummed that he didn't get to use his Cataclysm with everyone else murmuring in agreement.

Scene: Stage. Before Audrey walks away Ladybug puts a magical charm in her hat while she's not looking.

Audrey: Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! (Cat Noir comes from behind everyone and is shocked to see them there)

Cat Noir: Ladybug, Rena Rouge, Carapace? How did you get in?

Kaalki: Hello, Cat Noir.

Ladybug: Sorry, Cat Noir, I would've come to get you if I knew your true identity.

Cat Noir: Like I always say m'lady, "to know me is to love me".

Ladybug: On second thought. (laughs quietly) Rena Rouge, Carapace. (they all run to the top of the tower while Cat Noir stays behind) Stay here Cat Noir, I'll be back.

Scene: Montparnasse Tower roof.

Rena Rouge: It was so easy to beat the villain this time.

Shadow Moth through Senticarapace: It's because she had good partners.

Ladybug, Rena Rouge and Senticarapace: Pound It!

Rena Rouge: Let's rest.

Senticarapace: Shell off. (They detransform and hand over their Miraculouses to Ladybug)

Ladybug: I don't understand. (Optigami's eyes open on the Turtle Miraculous without anyone noticing) It's been so easy.

"So, how did I figure out that this isn't the real Nino?" Marinette asked curiously as well as everyone else as she pointed to Sentinino on-screen.

"Thanks to your Lucky Charm mirror," Angel answered with a sly smirk much to her audience's confusion.

"What? Does it have X-ray vision or something?" Nino asked.

"No. Let's just say with that mirror, Ladybug noticed an accidental slip-up by Sentinino. You'll see," Angel answered as she pointed to the screen.

Scene: Nathalie's room. Nathalie hears Ladybug's conversation through Optigami on her screen.

Ladybug: (voiceover on Nathalie's screen) I didn't even get to use my Lucky Charm.

Scene: Montparnasse Tower roof.

Ladybug: Normally it's been the key element to defeat the villain.

Shadow Moth: Our trap has just snapped shut, Ladybug!

"Here comes the slip-up," Angel said as she pointed to the screen with her audience's eyes glued to it in fascination.

Ladybug: I guess it was only here to help repair everything. (looks confused when she sees her compact mirror. She notices Sentinino acting confused about his handshake with Alya. Sentinino gives Alya a simple hi-five. Ladybug remembers their special hi-five in a flashback. She looks at both of them with a curious look) We're gonna have to be a lot more careful now. Shadow Moth knows the identities of some of the people I have given a Miraculous and apparently he decided to use this information. (looks at Sentinino) Isn't that right, Shadow Moth? (Alya becomes shocked, and Sentinino panics as he got exposed) I'm sorry, Alya. You better move away from him. This isn't Nino. It's a sentimonster.

Alya: Huh? (gasps)

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: That's impossible! (in shock after Ladybug figures them setting a trap)

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: How did she figure it out?! (in anger that Ladybug figures out his trap)

"Uh, 'cause she's not an idiot!" Angel pointed out to Shadow Moth on-screen and the audience laughed hard in agreement.

Scene: Montparnasse Tower roof. Alya walks away from the sentimonster, she falls down in shock. Ladybug uses her yo-yo to go to the area where Cat Noir is.

Scene: Stage.

Ladybug: (runs to Cat Noir who is eating a cookie) Cataclysm this for me, will you?

Cat Noir: (shocked when Ladybug shows up and what she said) But it's a Miraculous!

Ladybug: Trust me. (Cat Noir trusts her and uses his Cataclysm to destroy the Miraculous. Optigami flies out from the Miraculous after it's destroyed)

Scene: Nathalie's room.

Nathalie: Ah! (in pain after the Miraculous is destroyed, cutting communication with Optigami)

Scene: Male restroom.

Shadow Moth: (groans in anger) One day, I'll get you Ladybug! I release you from your existence. (releases Sentinino from existence)

Scene: Montparnasse Tower roof. Sentinino is released from his existence.

Scene: Stage. Optigami is also released from his existence.

Ladybug: Miraculous Ladybug! (repairs everything)

Scene: Balcony.

Cat Noir: How did you figure out there was a sentimonster in that Miraculous, m'lady?

Ladybug: Thanks to my Lucky Charm, kitty cat, it always shows me the right way, except this time, I've gotten the villain wrong. (Cat Noir understands what Ladybug is saying to him)

Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette and Alya are sitting on the chaise lounge.

Alya: Shadow Moth almost unmasked you because of me. I should have never taken the Turtle Miraculous.

Marinette: It's true, you did make a mistake, and that's why I have to make a difficult decision. The most important thing is to learn from our mistakes. And today, I learned that I need an ally who will replace me if something happens to me one day. (hands Alya the Fox Miraculous) From now on, you will keep the Miraculous of the Fox with you, and I'm going to tell you everything I know. (Alya smiles. She and Marinette hug. The kwamis watch them as they continue to hug.)

Trixx: See, I'm always right, even when I'm wrong!

"So, what? We're a trio now? Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Rena Rouge?" Alya asked as she stood still in shock and excitement that she's keeping her Miraculous on-screen as well as everyone else.

"Not exactly. You'll see what your job will be in future episodes tomorrow," Angel explained much to everyone else's excitement, especially Alya's.

Epilogue Scene: Nathalie's room. Gabriel walks to Nathalie's bed and sits down.

Gabriel: We don't know our enemies well enough, Nathalie. Alya Césaire seems to have a special status in the organization Ladybug has set up since she became guardian. It's time to take an interest in her. (Nathalie agrees and smiles.)

"So, they're targeting me now?" Alya asked nervously, concerned for her future self as well as everyone else.

"Yeah. That happens in the next episode which you all will see tomorrow. Good night, everybody!" Everybody then left for their respective bedrooms except for Adrien who just sat in his seat in which Marinette notices and comes up to him.
