Mayura (Heroes' Day - Part 2)

"" is the season finale of Season 2 of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, and it is the second and final part of "Heroes' Day” special. Its world premiere was on November 3, 2018, in Switzerland for French viewers on RTS Deux.

Synopsis
Hawk Moth puts his terrible plan into action by reakumatizing all of his previous villains with the help of Catalyst. Will Ladybug and her team of super heroes succeed to defeat Hawk Moth and his extraordinary army?

Plot
Prime Queen announces on live TV that everyone will witness the victory of Scarlet Hawk Moth and Heroes' Day will become Villains' Day. Catalyst tells Scarlet Hawk Moth that the time has come, and Scarlet Hawk Moth announces to Ladybug and Cat Noir that if they want to save Paris and all its inhabitants, they must surrender their Miraculouses to him. Cat Noir asks Ladybug what she thinks. Ladybug says that she knows that Hawk Moth has likely been planning this for a long time and wonders if they're really prepared. Cat Noir assures her that they are since they've defeated all those akumatized villains before and reminds her that they are five superheroes now. Assured, Ladybug announces to Hawk Moth that she will never surrender her Miraculous to him. Cat Noir steps in and suggests that Hawk Moth surrender his Miraculous instead. Rena Rouge, Carapace, and Queen Bee also add that even though Hawk Moth has an army of supervillains, they are a superhero team. With that, Scarlet Hawk Moth orders Guitar Villain and Frightningale to play music while the other supervillains fight the superhero team.

As the superheroes and supervillains run towards each other, Ladybug reminds everyone that the main objective is to defeat Hawk Moth. They fight the supervillains and manage to deakumatize the Pharaoh, Princess Fragrance, Riposte, and The Mime. Scarlet Hawk Moth watches all this unfold and says that everything is going according to plan, with Catalyst adding how amusing it is watching the superheroes think that victory is possible when the two of them have been planning this for a long time. Scarlet Hawk Moth then sends Dark Cupid after Chloé's parents and butler, who are preparing to leave Paris on the Bourgeois' helicopter. André wonders where his daughter is, and Audrey says that she is likely "playing superhero" again. Just then, Dark Cupid shoots an arrow at each of them, causing their emotions about Chloé being a superhero to become negative. With that, Hawk Moth sends an akuma after each of them, turning them back into Style Queen, Malediktator, and Despair Bear.

The superhero team manage to deakumatize Stormy Weather and Rogercop. Ladybug announces to Hawk Moth that his days of hurting innocent people will soon be over. She then summons her Lucky Charm and receives a tennis racket. Quickly coming up with a plan, Ladybug tells everyone to get ready. But before she can implement it, Dark Cupid shoots arrows at all the deakumatized, causing their emotions to become negative and therefore become reakumatized. Cat Noir and the other heroes realize that Hawk Moth is using Dark Cupid to create negative emotions in order to akumatize people. As the five heroes continue to fight, Scarlet Hawk Moth sends a swarm of akumas into the battlefield.

Dark Cupid prepares to shoot Carapace with his arrow, but Rena Rouge jumps in the way and takes the hit instead. With that, her emotions become negative and she angrily begins insulting Carapace. Ladybug tries to convince Rena Rouge not to give into negative emotions and Carapace even restrains her, but this does no good. Queen Bee promises Ladybug that she will never let negative emotions take her over, but Scarlet Hawk Moth says that she should never say never as Style Queen and Malediktator appear before the superhero. Meanwhile, Rena Rouge pushes Carapace away and allows an akuma to infect her Miraculous, turning her into Rena Rage. Saddened that he couldn't save her, Carapace is also akumatized into Carapire. Despair Bear sneaks behind Queen Bee and holds her in place while Dark Cupid shoots an arrow at her. An akuma then enters her Miraculous, turning her into Queen Wasp. Cat Noir suggests that Ladybug use her Lucky Charm, but Ladybug says that it won't work because it required everybody's help. So instead, Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm on the ground, allowing him and Ladybug to escape underneath.

Ladybug and Cat Noir escape into the sewers and run on opposite sides of the sewers and detransform. As they feed their kwamis, Marinette comments on how Hawk Moth has never reakumatized so many people at once and notes that something has changed. Adrien believes that he has figured out a way to boost his powers. Marinette wonders if they'll be able to beat him without a team, but Adrien assures her that they can. Just then, the duo hears the akumatized villains heading towards them, so they quickly feed their kwamis the aqua power-ups and jump inside the sewer waters as they transform. They are soon met by Syren and Animan but manage to deakumatize the two. As they head back up, Frozer uses his powers to turn some of Paris into ice, causing the sewer waters to freeze. Fortunately, Ladybug and Cat Noir escape this just in time and transform into their normal superhero forms. Ladybug then announces to all of Paris that the real Ladybug is back and releases all of the purified akumas, giving the citizens hope. With that, Scarlet Hawk Moth orders Prime Queen to shut off the cameras.

But seeing Hawk Moth's Army the duo retreats and comes across a blockade made up by the people of Paris who has come to support them. Ladybug and Cat Noir thank them but tell them to be careful heading for Scarlet Hawk Moth, along the way they see the reason why they shouldn't give up.

The duo approach Scarlet Hawk Moth on the Eiffel Tower. Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm and receives a replica Miraculous box, which she believes is for when Hawk Moth surrenders the Butterfly Miraculous while Cat Noir summons his Cataclysm. Scarlet Hawk Moth asks the duo if they're sure that they're not making a mistake, as his wish is something beneficial. Ladybug says that every wish has a price to pay, and Cat Noir believes that no matter what his wish is, it must be evil considering the chaos he's causing. Unbeknowest to the duo, the Hawk Moth they're talking to is merely an illusion created by Volpina. They approach him and Ladybug tries to convince him to do the right thing by handing over his Miraculous, but then she sees the reflection of the real Hawk Moth behind her through the Miraculous box as he fires an akuma after each of them while Dark Cupid shoots his arrows. She and Cat Noir dodge the attack and deakumatize Dark Cupid. Calling Hawk Moth a coward, with his Cataclysm Cat Noir destroys Scarlet Hawk Moth's cane, reverting him back into Hawk Moth and deakumatizing all the supervillains. Angry that the plan failed, Catalyst exits Hawk Moth's lair, goes into Gabriel's safe, and takes the Peacock Miraculous.

Seeing that he has nothing left to lose, Hawk Moth fights Ladybug and Cat Noir and easily overpowers them. He comments on how inexperienced they are since they lose their transformations shortly after they use their superpowers. As he is about to take their Miraculous, Carapace, Rena Rouge, and Queen Bee rejoin Ladybug and Cat Noir. The five superheroes corner Hawk Moth and Queen Bee summons her Venom in an attempt to paralyze him.

Now as Mayura, Nathalie plucks a feather from her fan and, after filling it with energy, sends it into Hawk Moth's cane. She offers him her help, to which Hawk Moth agrees reluctantly. A giant purple moth creature appears and manages to distract the heroes long enough for him to escape, leaving his cane behind. The team begins to suspect that the Peacock Miraculous holder is helping him. They decide to use the cane to track him down, but when he detransforms, the cane fades away. However, as Ladybug and Cat Noir are about to detransform, Ladybug uses Miraculous Ladybug to fix the damage. As the mission is over, Ladybug collects the Fox Miraculous and the Turtle Miraculous from Alya and Nino while Cat Noir collects the Bee Miraculous from Chloé.

Back at the Agreste mansion, Gabriel speaks to a drained Nathalie and reminds her that he'd told her never to use the Peacock Miraculous. Nathalie says that she had no choice as he was in trouble, but Gabriel retorts that the Miraculous is damaged and too dangerous. Nathalie responds that she wanted to help no matter the price. Grateful, Gabriel thanks Nathalie and comforts her.

In the evening, Miss Bustier's class has a picnic while Lila angrily observes from afar. Adrien attempts to sit besides Alya and Nino, but Alya says that the seat is taken and suggests that he sit by Marinette instead. However, Adrien soon receives a phone message saying that he has to go attend a charity event. Before he leaves, he tells Marinette that she is always helping others, which is why the class agreed to help her organize the picnic. He calls her their everyday Ladybug and bids her farewell. As he walks away, Marinette runs over to Adrien and thanks him by kissing him on the cheek. Adrien smiles and leaves. Once he's gone, the whole class cheers for Marinette as the end card appears.
