87. Miraculous Battle Part 2: Miracle Queen

Scene: Marinette is narrating. Miracle Queen is standing with Hawk Moth on the roof of the Grand Paris Hotel.

Marinette: Experiencing loss is a part of life. But good things come, too. Expect the unexpected, and embrace it.

Hawk Moth: Use them well, my queen. (Hawk Moth hands Miracle Queen the Miracle Box)

"EW! I look even more utterly disgusting than before!" Chloe shrieked with everyone else chuckling in agreement as soon as they saw her as Miracle Queen on-screen.

Scene: Miracle Queen sending her wasps from the Trocadéro.

Miracle Queen: Sting them! Sting them all! Make them mine!

Scene: Continuing narration: Césaire apartment. Nino is welcomed by Alya and her family. Alya's father, Otis Césaire is seen playfully patting Nino's back. Nino and Alya share an affectionate hug together, until...

Marinette: Each first-time is an adventure. (The Césaire family and Nino are stung by Miracle Queen's wasps.)

Scene: Continuing narration: Max and his mom receiving a space suit.

Marinette: And who knows how far these adventures will lead you. (Max and his mom having a mother-son moment, as they celebrate, they are stung by the wasps.)

"Oh, my mom's spacesuit has arrived!" Max said excitedly that his mother is close to traveling to outer space.

Scene: Continuing narration: Kim and Ondine at the swimming pool.

Marinette: You find people to whom you entrust your heart as much as they entrust theirs to you. (Kim and Ondine are stung by the wasps.)

Scene: Continuing narration: André and Audrey Bourgeois outside Le Grand Paris.

Marinette: That trust is sometimes broken, but it can always be restored. (André and Audrey are stung by the wasps.)

"Even my parents are stung?!" Chloe asked, angry that Hawk Moth de-akumatized her parents only to have them stung by her wasps soon after.

"Well, you did tell them to sting everybody in Paris," Angel pointed out to Chloe and everyone else nodded in agreement, but then got a small glare from the blonde girl. "Just pointing it out!"

Scene: Ending narration: Luka hugging Marinette at the Place des Vosges, attempting to comfort her after her heartbreak.

Marinette: Yes, sometimes the road can be winding. You might even get lost along the way. But with the help from the right people, you'll always find your destination.

Marinette: Sorry I- I don't why I did that.

Luka: Are you okay?

Marinette: Yes. Thank you, Luka. Oh, uh, by the way, did you find that perfect tune you were looking for?

Luka: I think I did, yeah. But are you sure you really want to hear it? You're still thinking of Adrien, aren't you? (Luka sees Miracle Queen's wasps coming toward them.) Marinette! (Luka sacrifices for Marinette, turns her around and is stung by a wasp.)

Marinette: Luka? Oh, no! Not those again! Tikki, we have to take shelter! Power-up! (tosses Tikki the aqua power-up) Aqua-Tikki, spots on! (jumps into the water and transform into Aquabug)

"Whew! That was close! If I get stung, it'll all be over!" Marinette said in relief as soon as she saw herself transform into Aquabug to get away from Miracle Queen's wasps. Everybody else murmured in agreement, relieved as well.

Aquabug: I should have known that Hawk Moth had a bigger plan all along. The battle's not over!

Scene: Canal Saint-Martin.

Adrien: No. I mean... I mean yes! I mean, it's the first time that I... thought it would be different.

Kagami: So you're not happy.

Adrien: Yes, I am! It's just that... I think I wasn't really ready.

Kagami: So, when will you be ready? (Adrien looks away and Kagami becomes upset) Your indecision is hurtful, Adrien. (Adrien frowns and looks at Kagami, and notices Miracle Queen's wasps. Adrien gasps, and pulls Kagami towards him protectively, much to Kagami's confusion.) What?! No! (Horrified, Kagami defensively pushes Adrien and gets stung herself.)

Adrien: Kagami! (Wasps chasing Adrien as he stands and runs. Reaches in jacket for power-up Camembert) Plagg, lunch time! (throws Camembert which Plagg catches in his mouth and transforms him into Aqua-Plagg.) Aqua-Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Aqua Noir, and dives into the water, safe from the wasps)

"We think alike, Bugaboo!" Adrien said proudly while Marinette rolled her eyes good-naturedly over the "Bugaboo" nickname much to everyone else's amusement.

Scene: Trocadéro. People of Paris are shown stung, as it cuts to Miracle Queen.

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! (Previous Miraculous holders, one by one, leave to Miracle Queen)

"UH-OH!" Everyone in the audience said in panic that the identities of the temporary superheroes are going to be exposed to Hawk Moth.

Hawk Moth: Yes, yes! No more hiding! (The stung Miraculous holders line up in front of Miracle Queen)

Miracle Queen: Nerdy Max? The fake reporter? DJ headache!? What has possessed Ladybug to choose such losers as her superheroes? (Chloé rips off Alya's glasses, crushing them, then notices Kim) Oh, simple, little Kim too! For a moment there, I thought you only had to wear glasses to get a Miraculous. (Luka bows before Miracle Queen) Don't know this one. He's cute. But he gets his clothes from a dumpster! Oh no, not this one! (She notices Kagami) Ugh, my, such ridiculous choices! Utterly ridiculous! Anyway, grab your Miraculous! (One by one, they grab their Miraculouses and step back in line, except for Nino and Kagami.)

"Hey, Miracle Queen! If the Miraculous cure doesn't fix my glasses, you're paying for new ones!" Alya shouted to Miracle Queen for breaking her glasses on-screen.

"I get my clothes from a dumpster?" Luka gently but sternly asked Chloe with a raised-eyebrow glance in which the blonde girl blushed pink in embarrassment.

Hawk Moth: Huh? Why don't they take any?

Miracle Queen: Surely because the Miraculous of the Moron and the Pompous Brat do not exist!

Hawk Moth: Or maybe someone else is already wearing them. (Miracle Queen stands in front of them, holding her arm out)

"Yeah. Master Dude is wearing mine!" Nino pointed out to Miracle Queen on-screen, which brought a chuckle from Master Fu.

"And I'm pretty sure my Miraculous is still with Ladybug," Kagami also pointed out, much to everyone else's amusement.

Miracle Queen: Come on, hurry up and transform, my pawns!

Alya: Trixx, let's pounce. (Transforms into Rena Rouge)

Max: Kaalki, full gallop. (Transforms into Pegasus)

Luka: Sass, scales slither. (Transforms into Viperion)

Kim: Xuppu, showtime. (Transforms into King Monkey)

Miracle Queen: You were once Ladybug and Cat Noir's minions, but from now on, you will be Miracle Queen's royal guard! (The Miraculous holders bow together. Miracle Queen says vengefully) Ladybug, Cat Noir, I'm gonna use your own weapons to defeat you. You'll so regret not choosing me!

Scene: Rooftop of Palais de Chaillot. Mayura is on top of a building guarding Wang Fu, who is now Jade Turtle and remains shielded with his Shell-ter power. Hawk Moth then joins Mayura.

Hawk Moth: Mayura! Now it's time to deal with the old guardian. (As Hawk Moth speaks, Mayura, still sick, suddenly loses balance and he catches her.) Mayura!

Mayura: I'm all right.

Hawk Moth: Of all the plans I've concocted, I never wanted this. (Hawk Moth rotates Mayura) Forgive me for needing you again one last time.

"OK, those two acting all lovey-dovey is ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" Chloe said in disgust towards the supervillains with everyone else giving cringed faces in agreement.

Mayura: Don't blame yourself. From the very first day, I knew that I'd do anything for you. (Mayura cups Hawk Moth's face shortly before standing back up. Mayura takes a couple steps back, extending her fan, pulling out a feather. She grasps the feather, it then turns blue as she blows it towards Hawk Moth) Little amok, give body to Hawk Moth's sentimonster again! (Feather flies into Hawk Moth's staff, creating a Giant Moth sentimonster) Sentimonster, I am Mayura! You will now obey Hawk Moth!

"Isn't that the same sentimonster from Heroes' Day?" Marc asked in surprise and everyone else nodded in confirmation as they remembered, surprised as well.

Hawk Moth: Destroy the shield! (the sentimonster then began to attack Jade Turtle's Shell-ter as Jade Turtle must keep the sentimonster from cracking it.)

Scene: Seine. Aqua Cat Noir and Aqua Ladybug are in the water.

Aqua Noir: Ladybug!

Aquabug: Cat Noir!

Aqua Noir: There's something wrong. What did Fu say to you when you gave him back the Dragon Miraculous?

Aquabug: ...I wasn't able to give it back.

Aqua Noir: (shocked) What?

Aquabug: Master Fu has disappeared! I worry something happened to him! (Aqua Noir extends his baton from under the water, surveying his surroundings, when his baton beeps)

Aqua Noir: Huh! You're right! (Aquabug covers her mouth in fear) They found Master Fu and the Miracle Box! It's a catastrophe! And I just happen to be an expert in cat things! (Aqua Noir looks back as Aquabug)

Aquabug: It's... It's my fault. I didn't transform back before I went to find him.

Aqua Noir: What?

Aquabug: I was... confused. I'm sorry. I'm such a failure. (puts her head in her hands. Aqua Noir swims closer to her, putting a hand on her shoulder)

Aqua Noir: Hey! The important thing is to save Master Fu before the sentimonster destroys his shield. And we'll need a focused Ladybug for that. Forget what happened, okay? (Aquabug stares at Aqua Noir before hugging him tightly)

Aquabug: Thanks, Cat! You're always here for me! (he smiles and hugs her back)

Aqua Noir: Always, Little Bug. (they pull away from each other)

Aquabug: Okay! We have to free our friends from Miracle Queen. Then we can defeat Mayura, Hawk Moth, and his sentimonster. But first, we gotta neutralize those wasps so we can get out of the water. If we get stung, it's all over.

Aqua Noir: Sounds easy when you say it!

Aquabug: Yes! We're gonna make it easier! (puts on the Dragon Miraculous)

Aqua Noir: No! It's too dangerous! Too many powers at the same time!

Aquabug: We don't have a choice!

Longg: Hmph! I'm ready to fight, Ladybug! (Both Aquabug and Aqua Noir jump out of the water)

Aquabug and Aqua Noir: Spots off/Claws in! (they both detransform from their aqua forms)

[Transformation Sequence]

Ladybug: Tikki, Longg: Unify! (she is then transformed into Dragon Bug)

Dragon Bug: Water Dragon! (Dragon Bug creates a water shield, as her and Chat Noir land, sending the water shield flying forward, knocking over Miracle Queen in the process)

"Whoa! Nice water shield, girl!" Alya said about Dragon Bug's water shield, very impressed along with everybody else including the two heroes.

Miracle Queen: Ladybug!

Dragon Bug: It'll be Dragon Bug to you, Chloé!

Hawk Moth: A few extra powers aren't going to save you, you know. In a few moments, when the old guardian is too weak and his shield is broken, I'll force him to tell me your secret identities, and it will all be thanks to Ladybug. She led you all to your own doom!

Jade Turtle: He's trying to divide you! Don't listen to him! I chose you both for a reason! Stay united! (Dragon Bug and Cat Noir face each other before grabbing each other hands)

Cat Noir: It's us against the world!

Dragon Bug: As always! (Dragon Bug and Cat Noir look back up to Hawk Moth)

"POUND IT!" Marinette and Adrien fist-bump and kissed each other in response to their on-screen dedication to fight together while everybody else (including Chloe) cheered.

Cat Noir: Ladybug and I never fight each other! We fight together!

Dragon Bug: Welcome to your Doomsday, Hawk Moth!

Hawk Moth: You fools! It's time to take action, my queen!

Scene: Trocadéro.

Miracle Queen: En garde, my guards! (Miracle Queen commanded her victims. The Miraculous holders activate their special ability, starting with Rena Rouge's Mirage)

King Monkey: Uproar! (he catches a toy frog and his staff)

Pegasus: Voyage!

Viperion: Second Chance! (All Miraculous holders remain in a line, ready to fight. Dragon Bug takes out her sword)

Dragon Bug: Viperion is by far the most dangerous! You focus on him! Be careful, Cat!

Cat Noir: Got it! Cataclysm! (activating his special ability, they both charge forward as the others do as well. With Dragon Bug fighting her own battle, Cat Noir takes on Viperion. Cat Noir kicks Viperion to the ground)

Viperion: Second Chance!

Cat Noir: Got it! Cataclysm! (they charged once again, Viperion blocks Cat Noir's kick, but gets punched by Cat Noir, failing once more)

Viperion: Second Chance!

Cat Noir: Got it! Cataclysm! (fighting again, Viperion locks Cat Noir in place)

Dragon Bug: Looks like you forgot about me! But I didn't! (Dragon Bug takes Viperion's Miraculous, he de-transforms back into Luka)

Miracle Queen: (frustrated) Useless! That snake is utterly useless!

Dragon Bug: Cat Noir! It's your turn! (Dragon Bug throws the Snake Miraculous to him, he catches it. Putting on the Miraculous, Sass appears exhausted but Cat Noir feeds him)

Cat Noir: Sass, Plagg: Unify! (Cat Noir then transforms into Snake Noir.)

Snake Noir: Second Chance! (activates his Miraculous)

Miracle Queen: Stop him! (King Monkey and Pegasus try to attack him but dodge when he notices Dragon Bug fighting Rena Rouge)

Snake Noir: Dragon Bug! It's an illusion! (Dragon Bug extended her yo-yo, erasing the illusions only for King Monkey to grab her yo-yo, he reaches for the yo-yo with the stuffed frog)

"Good eye under pressure, kitty!" Marinette said to her boyfriend about Rena Rouge's illusions on-screen.

Dragon Bug: No! (the stuffed frog and yo-yo touch, breaking the water shield around them. Wasps swarm in, stinging Dragon Bug in the process)

Snake Noir: Ladybug! (Snake Noir struggles as Rena Rouge traps him, then sends them back in time) Dragon Bug! They're illusions! (Snake Noir then falls into Pegasus' portal, falling towards the sun in space. Holding his breath, he uses his ability again) Dragon Bug! They're illusions! (he dodges Pegasus' portal, and grabs King Monkey's arm) Dragon Bug! Opening! There! (Dragon Bug makes an opening in the water shield. Snake Noir kicks King Monkey's staff through the opened hole, sailing towards Miracle Queen, only she catches it with one hand with ease, and laughs evilly)

"Huh. After King Monkey disrupted Dragon Bug's powers with his toy frog which got you stung by a wasp and Pegasus teleported Snake Noir onto the path to the sun, Viperion doesn't seem so bad right now," Angel noted after observing more of the battle in response to Dragon Bug's earlier statement about Viperion being the most dangerous. Everybody else (including Marinette herself) murmured in agreement, nervous on how this will end.

Miracle Queen: Pathetic! Is that honestly how you think you- Ew! (the stuffed frog smacks Miracle Queen in the face, turning her weapon into a disco ball, and her wasps into confetti. Dragon Bug releases the water shield, and wraps her yo-yo around Miracle Queen, pulling her forward) No!

Snake Noir: Haaah! (he Cataclysms the disco ball and the akuma flies out)

"Well, that was quicker than I expected of you two to de-akumatize Chloe in this situation," Kagami noted and everybody else murmured in agreement.

"They may have taken out Chloe's akuma, but the battle's not over yet," Angel warned them beforehand, which got their full attention on the screen.

Dragon Bug: Longg, Tikki: Divide! (transforms back into Ladybug)

Snake Noir: Sass, Plagg: Divide! (transforms back into Cat Noir as Cat Noir catches Sass.)

Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. (Miracle Queen transforms back into Queen Bee)

Cat Noir: Told you! Welcome to your Doomsday, Hawk Moth! (Hawk Moth laughs evilly, sending another akuma for Queen Bee)

Queen Bee: (jumps up excitedly trying to grab the akuma) Ah! Ah, ah, ah!

"Good thing Liar Rossi isn't here anymore. I'll never hear the end of it from her about this!" Chloe noted, embarrassed and horrified at seeing her near-future self willingly grab for the akuma.

Ladybug: (captures the akuma) Hawk Moth is our enemy, Chloé! He can't get ahold of the Miracle Box!

Queen Bee: I'm not on your side anymore! How many times have I asked to fight alongside you? And how many times have you refused to give me back my Miraculous? How many, huh? Hawk Moth isn't my enemy, he's yours! And the Miracle Box is mine! (Queen Bee slams down the Miracle Box, and opening it, starts putting on all of the Miraculouses)

Ladybug: (panicked) Chloé! No! Don't do that!

"Uh-oh! Chloe's gone insane! No offense," Alix exclaimed in shock as she and the others looked at the blonde girl on-screen in horror.

"None taken. I agree with you! I cannot believe how utterly ridiculously low I've gotten in this future!" Chloe said, still horrified on what she would have done if she wasn't brought here.

Queen Bee: Oh, yes I will! I'm going to be the most powerful Miraculous wearer there ever was!

Hawk Moth: (laughs evilly) I don't even need to do anything! I knew you were one of us, Chloé Bourgeois!

Queen Bee: (laughs evilly) Well, what are you waiting for?! Transform me!

"How do you expect us kwamis to help you transform if you don't know our names or our transformation commands?!" Trixx asked in exasperation towards the blonde girl who nodded in understanding while the others chuckled in agreement.

Stompp: She doesn't even know our names!

Roaar: And you didn't give the right commands!

Ziggy: Or say please, for that ma-a-atter! (says 'matter' like a sheep bah)

Queen Bee: I am your queen, the Queen of the Miraculous! I command you to tell me how you proceed!

Scene: Rooftop of Palais de Chaillot. Jade Turtle struggles to keep his Shell-ter from breaking from the sentimonster.

Hawk Moth: There's nothing you can do anyway! I already won! (Cat Noir's ring beeps, Ladybug turns to him) It's moments before the shield caves in. Then the guardian will be at my mercy! Your friends are about to transform back! You're on your own. Checkmate, Ladybug!

Scene: Trocadéro.

Ladybug: I still have one move left, Hawk Moth! Lucky Charm! (a key chain appears) A keyring? What am I supposed to do with this? (she looks around for clues, finds nothing) Um…

"Wait a minute. That looks exactly like my keyring," Master Fu said as he took a good look at the Lucky Charm on-screen before gasping in realization. "I know exactly what the Lucky Charm is trying to tell you, Marinette!"

"What, Master?" Marinette asked as she and the others turned to look at the 186-year old guardian.

"Watch and you'll find out," Angel said on Master Fu's behalf, so everyone else turned their attention to the screen, very intrigued to see how the battle turned out.

Hawk Moth: (laughs evilly) Nothing! There's nothing you can do! My plan was perfect! You can't beat me! (laughs evilly again. Ladybug turns to Cat Noir)

Ladybug: I can't figure it out!

Cat Noir: Focus! You can do it! (Ladybug continues to look for clues but stops at the sight of Jade Turtle struggling, she turns back to Cat Noir)

Ladybug: (laments) I'm sorry! I'm so useless! If I hadn't forgotten to de-transform myself to go see Master Fu-

Cat Noir: Ladybug, no!

Ladybug: (still laments) -Hawk Moth wouldn't have taken him hostage. He wouldn't have taken the Miracle Box. (hugs Cat Noir, while crying) I'm the worst Ladybug that has ever existed!

Jade Turtle: Ladybug, you are the best Miraculous holder I've ever met. You made mistakes, but who hasn't? What matters is to fix them. And you always, always miraculously knew how to fix everything, right?

Ladybug: But what should I do, Master?

Jade Turtle: You hold all the keys, Ladybug. You always have. And you will be the most magnificent of Guardians.

"Just as I thought," Master Fu said about his future plan. Everyone else looked questionably at the old guardian, but Angel pointed to the screen indicating that they should keep watching.

Hawk Moth: (shocked) What!?

Stompp: Master!

Ziggy: No!

Roaar: Don't do it!

Jade Turtle: I, Wang Fu, hereby relinquish the Miracle Box, (starts glowing) and name Ladybug the new Guardian! (just then the sentimonster shatters his shield, the bright light encasing Jade Turtle leaves, and he collapses)

Hawk Moth: (dismayed) NO! (the Miracle Box then lifts to the sky and transforms into a new box. While unconscious, Jade Turtle de-transforms.)

Everyone gasped in amazement and awe of Master Fu giving up his Miraculous guardianship and transferring it to Ladybug on-screen.

Wayzz: (saddened) Master! (Queen Bee catches the box)

Queen Bee: (furious) No! It's my Miracle Box. Mine! I'm the guardian! I'm the queen! Hawk Moth, tell him to give me my box back!

Hawk Moth: How disappointing. (He picks up Mayura, then jumps onto the Sentimonster, flying away)

"Another reason you shouldn't work with the supervillains. They will ditch you once their plans go south," Angel noted to Chloe who nodded in agreement along with everybody else.

Cat Noir: I'll take care of them, you take care of the box! (Queen Bee tries to escape, but Ladybug trips her with her yo-yo)

Ladybug: Sorry, but I think this belongs to me now. (Ladybug picks up the Miracle Box)

Queen Bee: I don't need all those stupid Miraculous anyway! I only need the Queen Bee! (throws off all the Miraculouses except for the Bee Miraculous as she's talking) Besides, you're lame, and Paris is lame! I'm going to go to New York with Mommy! And I'll be the one and only Queen Bee there! And I'll save the world all by myself, without you and your ridiculous, poorly chosen friends! Utterly poorly chosen!

Ladybug: I'm sorry, Chloé, but I can't let you do that. (Ladybug takes the Miraculous out of Queen Bee's hair, who de-transforms back into Chloé)

Chloé: Well, if that's the way it is, I'm no longer your fan, Ladybug! I don't love you anymore! And I'm still going to leave with Mommy anyway, because you don't deserve to breathe the same air I do! (Chloé pushes past Ladybug as Cat Noir comes back)

Cat Noir: Sorry, couldn't catch up with them.

"And from that moment on in this future, Chloe is permanently fired from ever being Queen Bee again," Angel noted about the alternate future on-screen. Everybody in the audience nodded in understanding while Chloe just had a sad look on her face, disappointed on how her life would've gone.

"What about the rest of us? Now that Hawk Moth knows our identities, are we still…?" Alya asked curiously on behalf of herself and the other temporary heroes.

"Yes, you're still Rena Rouge. And everybody else is still their superhero forms. Even Kagami as Ryuko. Only Chloe is permanently benched," Angel explained and the temporary heroes (except for Chloe of course) sighed with relief.

Scene: Rooftop of Palais de Chaillot. Ladybug and Cat Noir surround Master Fu, who's still unconscious.

Ladybug: Master! Master? Wake up!

"Don't tell me you die?!" Kim asked, worried for the old guardian along with everybody else.

"Of course not. However, there is a side effect to me giving up my guardianship," Master Fu answered and everybody else looked at him questionably, but Angel pointed to the screen indicating that they should watch further for the answer.

Scene: Parisian streets. Gabriel puts Nathalie in a car.

Gabriel: Oh, my Nathalie. There are no words to express how sorry I am. I failed yet again, and you have used up every last bit of strength, for nothing.

Nathalie: No. Not for nothing. There's a deciphered version of the grimoire stored on the Guardian's tablet! Now we can fix the Peacock Miraculous! (Gabriel smiles at her)

Scene: Rooftop of Palais de Chaillot with Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Master Fu.

Ladybug: Master! Master? (Master Fu's eyes open, Wayzz hides behind Ladybug) Oh! Master Fu! (Master Fu looks from Ladybug to Cat Noir as they smile at him.)

Master Fu: Oh! Such pretty costumes! Who are you?

"The side effect of me sacrificing my Miraculous guardianship. My memories, especially those related to the Miraculous, have been erased," Master Fu explained about his future memory loss, much to everyone else's shock.

"So, if Marinette gave up her Miraculous guardianship, her memories will be erased and she won't remember anything about being Ladybug?!" Alya asked, fascinated to hear more about Miraculous magic along with everybody else.

"That is correct. If indeed she gives up her guardianship, Marinette's last memory will most likely be her first day of school when Ivan over there got akumatized into Stoneheart," Master Fu explained and the audience widened their eyes in shock, sadly imagining that scenario in their heads before turning their attention back to the screen.

Cat Noir: Has he... lost his memory?

Wayzz: (sadly) It's the rule of the Guardians. Their memory gets erased when they pass on the box. To protect the secret identities of the Miraculous holders. (Ladybug and Cat Noir are disappointed)

Ladybug: It's all good. We're friends, sir!

Master Fu: Well, nice to meet you!

Wayzz: (heartbroken) Goodbye, Master.

Wayzz started to tear up and flew over to Master Fu who cuddled the kwami in affection. All the other kwamis (including Tikki and Plagg) flew to the old guardian in sadness and they all cuddled him as well.

Cat Noir: Wait! You haven't repaired everything yet. There's still hope!

Ladybug: Oh! Of course! Miraculous Ladybug! (The ladybugs then repair everything) Master! Do you remember me?

Master Fu: I'm sorry to disappoint you, young lady, but this is the first time I've ever set eyes on you. (Heartbroken, Ladybug and Cat Noir look down, saddened that the Miraculous cure didn't repair Fu's memories.)

Ladybug: (saddened) Yes, of course.

Cat Noir: What happened to him has nothing to do with the damages caused by Chloé.

Ladybug: So my magical ladybugs couldn't do anything.

Master Fu: It's a shame you threw such a pretty keyring away! I could have used it for my key. They were matching too! (Master Fu takes out a key, giving it to Ladybug, who smiles)

Scene: Grand Paris Hotel. Chloe angrily storms in.

Chloé: (angrily) Mom! I hope Jean-Patrick has finished packing our suitcases! We're leaving right now!

Andre Bourgeois: Chloé! Your mother has decided to stay, after all!

Audrey Bourgeois: Yes. We've undoubtedly made our share of mistakes along the way, but then who hasn't? What matters is to fix them, right?

"OK, I did not see that coming," Tom noted in shock about the Bourgeois couple now acting affectionately towards each other and everybody else nodded in agreement, stunned in shock as well, especially Chloe.

Mayor Bourgeois: Oh! My queen! (André and Audrey kiss passionately)

"EWWW!" The teens in the audience (including Chloe herself) cringe in disgust at seeing the Bourgeois couple kissing each other.

"There's an image that's sadly gonna stick with me," Alix said, still disgusted at the kiss along with the other teens.

"Ew! I always wanted my parents to get along, but not this disgustingly!" Chloe said, also disgusted with her parents' kiss.

Chloé: (disgusted) Ew! This is despicable! Utterly despicable! I order you both to fight again!

Scene: Locker room at the Gare du Nord train station. Marinette opens a locker, showing Master Fu's gramophone, a picture of Marianne Lenoir, and a letter.

Marinette: As we grow old, we realize life doesn't always give us all the gifts we hoped it would. I would have loved to tell you all this in person, Marinette, but if you're reading this, it means I've already lost my memory. But you mustn't be scared, and you mustn't be sad. As I was telling you at the beginning of this letter, experiencing loss is a part of life, but it doesn't define it. Because what really matters isn't whether you win or lose. It's the ability to...

Master Fu: ...accept changes in ourselves. It's accepting that even if life doesn't always give us the gifts we were hoping for, the real gift is life itself.

"And just because Master Fu is not the guardian anymore and lost his memory, it doesn't mean he doesn't get a happy ending," Angel noted to the audience, fascinated to know what will happen to the old guardian now (including Master Fu himself).

Scene: At the train station's boarding platform. Master Fu sees Marianne for the 'first time' with love.

"It's Marianne!" Rose gushed, excited to see the two old lovers finally get together after being separated for so long.

Master Fu: It's incredible! I've only just met you and yet my heart is beating as if I've known you forever.

"Huh. I wonder if I gave up my guardianship and lost my memory, would this be how I react when I see Adrien?" Marinette asked herself and everybody else, who also wondered about that hypothetical situation before turning their attention back to the screen.

Marianne: You should always trust your heart.

Marinette: Take this, sir. For the journey. (Marinette hands him a box of rainbow macarons)

Master Fu: Mmm-hmm. Thank you, young lady. I will never forget you. (Marinette sighs but smiles, Marianne and Master Fu aboard the train, and Master Fu waves bye as Marinette does the same. The train departs the station, and Marinette walks away in tears.)

"Where are we going?" Master Fu asked curiously.

"You and Marianne are moving to London together," Angel answered and everyone gushed at the happy ending between the elderly couple.

Scene: Canal Saint-Martin. At André's ice cream cart, Marinette and Adrien receive their ice creams, then walk to their friends. As Adrien sits with Kagami, Marinette sits with Luka.

Master Fu: (voiceover) Even if life doesn't always give us the gifts we were hoping for, the real gift is life itself.

Luka: You okay?

Marinette: So, how about that tune? Will you let me hear it?

Luka: Are you sure you really want to hear it? (Marinette nods. As Luka plays the tune, Marinette closes her eyes and smiles. The end card shows Master Fu leaves with Marinette and Cat Noir in the background as Ladybug and Adrien look from the sky, smiling as Luka and Kagami smile at them.

"So, in this future, I end up with Kagami and Marinette ends up with Luka?" Adrien asked curiously as well as everybody else, after seeing himself sit with Kagami and Marinette sit with Luka on-screen.

"Yes. For a short while, Marinette ends up dating Luka and you end up dating Kagami," Angel answered, much to everyone's shock, especially the two heroes. "But it doesn't take a psychic to predict that both those relationships don't last." Everyone in the audience nodded and shrugged in agreement towards that statement.

Epilogue Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Gabriel: It's perfect! (holds up the Peacock Miraculous) As good as new!

"So, the Peacock Miraculous is fixed?" Marinette asked curiously as well as everyone else.

"Yes. It doesn't help revive Adrien's mother, but no one can get sick from wearing it again," Angel explained and everyone else nodded in understanding. "OK, everyone. This finale was originally the last episode you all were gonna watch. But, the new season of your show just opened with tons of interesting changes that I'd like to show you. And Master Fu, you can see how Marinette does as the new Guardian of the Miraculous. So, would any of you like to see more of the future if this finale has happened?" Everyone in the audience cheered in confirmation, especially the teens. "OK, get a good night's sleep because we'll start the new season tomorrow." After Angel's announcement, everybody else went to their respective bedrooms.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I originally planned to do only seasons 1-3, but season 4 just made the show even better to watch, so I'll be showing that season as well. The only ones I won't do are the world specials (New York and Shanghai). Happy reading!
