Marinette: They're so in sync with each other.
Adrien: (On videocall) You're right, someday I hope I'll find someone I can share everything with… (Marinette gasps) like they do. (In his room; Adrien sighs) But until my father starts letting me go out more often, that probably won't be happening.
Marinette: (On videocall) Are you sure your dad won't let you come? It's such a bummer.
Adrien: (On videocall) You know how overprotective he is. One day he'll realise I'm not a child anymore, but we're not quite there yet. (Marinette chuckles)
Nino: Big finish, here we go!
Marinette: You don't wanna miss this. (Points camera at Nino and Alya)
Nino: Yeah! (Marinette and Alya start laughing)
(Nora enters the appartment)
Nora: Ow, shoot. Did I miss the ballet?
Alya: Nora, is your match over already?
Nora: (Puts down her bag) First round: total knockout. Huh-huh-huh. (punches the air) As usual. (whisper-yelling into Alya's ear) I told you a hundred times not to call me Nora in front of people, little sis. (to the rest) The name is Anansi, like a spider.
Alya: Sure, I'll call you Anansi when you stop calling me 'little sis'.
Nora: Anyway, what are you all still doing here this late? Don't you have school tomorrow?
(Marinette and Nino avert their eyes bashfully)
Alya: We're waiting for it to get dark. It's the World Cup firework show tonight, remember? We're gonna watch from the Place de la Concorde Ferris wheel.
Nora: (spits out her drink) Oh no! Baguette and cappie can go with cellphone boy if they want, but you're staying here. (crushes a milk carton under her hand) It's way too dangerous.
Marinette: But Nora, I mean, Anansi, you can't do that!
Nino: Yeah, no way dude, we're not going without Alya!
Alya: Listen, I appreciate you worrying about me, and all, but I'm not a little girl anymore. Besides, mom and dad are totally cool with it.
Nora: Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, there have been way too many akumatized peeps in Paris these last few weeks. Look how many times you've been in direct danger. (shows a shot of The Pharaoh, Prime Queen and Befana) So you're staying home, safe and sound, period!
Alya: That's so ridiculous, the twins were akumatized right here at home. (shows a shot of Sapotis)
Nora: Well, that would've never happened on my watch. I won't let anyone mess with my family.
Alya: (unimpressed) You mean like the other day at the square?
Adrien: (On videocall) What happened?
Marinette: Well… we came across a man handing out flyers (shows a man in a banana costume getting picked up by Nora) Nora thought the man was akumatized and wanted to turn Alya into a banana-zombie.
Nora: Uh-uh. How was I supposed to know it was some stupid costume? And besides, what would happen if the Ferris wheel stopped working 'cause some akumatized dude refused to pay his fare. Once you fly-weights can actually defend yourselves like me (shows off) we'll talk about it.
Marinette: It doesn't matter, because Ladybug and Cat Noir would save us if there were any problems.
Nora: Uh-huh. And what if Mister Whiskers is catching a mouse and that Beetle's been sprayed with bug spray, what do you do then? (Marinette looks angry)
Nino: I could protect Alya if I have to.
Nora: Oh yeah? And how exactly are you planning to defeat the villain? A dance-off? (laughs)
Nino: (looks down) I'd… do anything to protect Alya. (Alya looks touched)
Nora: Hmm, ha! Okay, Alya can go out with you guys… (places her elbow on the table) if… you beat me at an arm wrestle.
Alya: Please, don't arm wrestle on my account. I don't need to be protected.
Adrien: (On videocall) Nino, you don't stand a chance against Anansi, she's way too strong.
Nino: Hey, dude!
Adrien: Sorry, Nino, I'm sure we'll work something out.
Marinette: We gotta go, or else we'll miss the fireworks.
Alya: Forget it, you guys go without me.
Marinette and Nino: Huh?!
Marinette: No way! (gasps and looks smug) Okay, Nino will arm wrestle you.
Nino and Alya: What? (Nora smirks)
Marinette: Nino will prove his worth to us that he can defend Alya and every one of us-
Alya: (whispering to Marinette) Marinette, what are you doing?
Marinette: (to Alya) Don't worry, I got this. (to Nora) Because… uhh, because love and, uh, friendship, mmm, make your muscles bulge.
Nino: (flexes) Yeah, thanks Marinette.
Adrien: (On videocall, overlooking the arm wrestling) Alright! In position. Ready. Set. Go!
Nino: Yaaaaa!
Nora: Really? Is that all you got?
Alya: She's gonna rip his arm off. (shakes her head)
Nora: (fake yawns)
Marinette: (gasps) Over there, an Akuma!
Nora: What?!
(Marinette grabs Nino's and Nora's hands and pulls it towards her, so Nora loses the wrestling.)
Adrien: And the winner is… Nino!
Marinette: Oops, my bad, it was just a fly.
Nino: Hmm? (looks surprised)
Marinette: You rock, Nino. Come on, let's go. If we leave now we'll get there just in time.
Nora: (Punches the table) You're a bunch of cheaters. There's no way I could've been beaten by that fly-weight. If I hadn't been distracted, I-
Alya: That's it, Nora! You lost the challenge, so deal with it. I've had it with your overprotective big-sis-smothering. I'm going out with my BFFs and I don't care what you think. Alya out. (motions for Marinette and Nino to follow)
Marinette: Uh, see you, Nora, I mean, Anansi. (chuckles nervously; Nino chuckles too)
(The three of them, with Adrien still on the phone, leave and close the door; Nora growls)
Hawk Moth: A big sister with the best of intentions, unappreciated and unwanted. Ideal prey for my Akumas. (Turns a butterfly into an Akuma) Fly away my little Akuma, and evillize her broken spirit.
Nora: They don't understand. They have no idea of the dangers. They're so clueless.
(The Akuma flies through her window and is absorbed into her boxing helmet)
Hawk Moth: (From his lair) Anansi, I am Hawk Moth. They didn't want your support and protection. Well, I'm giving you the power to show them just how dangerous the world really is. In return, you must defect Ladybug and Cat Noir and bring me their Miraculous.
Nora: Let the match begin, Hawk Moth. (is engulfed by purple and transforms into Anansi)
Marinette: Just in time! Look at that!
Alya: Wow! (looks at Nino, who looks (sad/bashful/?), and her facial expression shifts to concerned) What's up?
Nino: Oh, ah… nothing.
Adrien: (On videocall) Wow! It's beautiful, thank you guys. (Suddenly looks shocked) Marinette, behind you! I saw something go by, what was it?
Marinette: (Turns around a looks through the window) I don't see anything. Maybe it was a bird.
(suddenly, the ground shakes and the Ferris wheel stops; Nino gets startled and embraces Alya, who looks very surprised at first)
Nino: (still embracing Alya) Oh dude, please don't tell me we're gonna be stuck up here.
Alya: (Alya's facial expression turns super smug; With a teasing voice-tone) I thought you said you were going to protect us.
Marinette: (gasps) Over there! (Anansi is seen making webs in the center of the Ferris wheel.) A super villain. (Adrien gasps and stands up)
Nino: (sounding terrified) Uh, may-maybe you shouldn't film A-Alya. You don't wanna attract her over here.
Alya: A new scoop for the Ladyblog. Ladybug and Cat Noir should be showing up any minute.
(Both Marinette and Adrien are looking around frantically at that statement)
Adrien: (On videocall) Uh… uh… I think my wifi is losing signal (hangs up) (in his room; to Plagg) My friends are in danger.
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
Anansi: Well, well. There you are, fly-weights.
All three, in unison: Nora?!
Anansi: Nora's not here to protect you anymore. I am Anansi, super spider. (she picks up the cart they were riding, jumps down from the Ferris wheel and throws the card on the ground)
Cat Noir: All those arms, that's convenient, but you destroyed my scratching post.
Anansi: Need a hand, kitty cat?
Alya: (trapped inside the cart) Nora… no.
Anansi: You're no match for me, kitten.
(After a little bit of fighting, Anansi grabs hold of Cat Noir's ankle and throws him against the Ferris wheel; She punches the centre of the Ferris wheel and it starts slowly rolling)
Anansi: Go fetch the Ferris wheel.
(Cat Noir gasps and runs after the loose Ferris wheel; Anansi jumps to the trio, who have escaped in the interim, and grabs hold of Alya.)
Anansi: Now that you can't cheat anymore, cappie, show us just how you plan to protect your friends. (laughs; jumps away) Come and get her if you're not a fly-weight.
Nino: (growls) Alya! (runs after her)
Marinette: Nino! (runs after Nino) Nino, wait!
Nino: I'm not a fly-weight and I don't need your help to prove it. (continues running)
Marinette: (hides behind a car) Tikki, I think I've messed up, we've gotta stop Nino. And save Alya!
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
(Meanwhile, Cat Noir is running in front of the Ferris wheel, who is rolling towards the Seine; He throws his Staff to stop it just in time; afterwards, he helps civilians out of the Ferris wheel)
Civilian: Thank you, Cat Noir.
Ladybug: You do pretty well, without me, I see.
Cat Noir: Yup, but it's so much nicer when you're here, m'lady.
Ladybug: Let's go show that spider what two superheroes are capable of.
(Ladybug and Cat Noir go to Anansi, flying over Nino, who is crawling on the street, trying to avoid cobwebs; then he sees Alya stuck to a spiderweb on the Arc de Triomphe)
Nino: Alya! (starts running towards her)
Alya: Nino, don't stick around.
Anansi: Well, well, well. Look who is.
Nino: (out of breath) Anansi! You let Alya go right now! (panting)
Anansi: (jumps down to Nino) Oh yeah? And how exactly is a weak little fly-weight gonna force me to release my prisoner?
(Nino gulps, whereafter his expression turns angry; He runs towards Anansi, yelling, but Anansi stops him; She picks him up and throws him through the air; Ladybug sees him and grabs him out of the air with her yo-yo)
Ladybug: Watch out! You need to leave this to the professionals. (lowers him to the ground; she leaps off)
Nino: (runs back as soon as he hits the ground again) This isn't over, spider!
Anansi: (Ladybug and Cat Noir land in front of Anansi) So it's two versus one now? Fine with me! Round two… fight! (she hits Cat Noir and sends him flying across the square)
Ladybug: Cat Noir! (runs towards him)
Anansi: On the floor already? We just started!
Ladybug: Are you okay? (Extends hand for Cat Noir to grab)
Cat Noir: Everything except my pride.
Ladybug: The Akuma must be in her headgear.
Cat Noir: Yeah, but she's so strong we can't even get near her.
Ladybug: Okay, change of plan. I take care of Anansi, you release the prisoner, it'll distract her enough to drop her guard.
Cat Noir: Look out! (embraces Ladybug to push her out of the way of a flying car; they land on the ground in an embrace)
Anansi: Ting, ting, ting, bell's ringin'! Round three. Fight!
(Ladybug fights with Anansi, dodging her every move; Cat Noir climbs up the spider web, he notices his suit sticks to the web aswell)
Cat Noir: Huh? (tries to pull himself loose, succeeds but gets more stuck thanks to the recoil) Oh… uh… m'lady? I think I got myself into a sticky situation.
Anansi: Looks like I've already got a catch. You'll be next, beetle.
Ladybug: I don't think so.
(Attacks with her yo-yo, but it gets caught and she get flung across the street; She finds herself stuck on a piece of cobweb)
Anansi: (creeping over to Cat Noir) You're like a cat caught in a spider's web.
Cat Noir: Technically speaking, spiders don't actually eat cats.
Anansi: I suggest we make an exception for you, kitty cat.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Anansi, grab his Miraculous from him.
(Cat Noir tries to hit her with his staff, she catches it and throws it to the ground. It lands next to Ladybug.)
Nino: Are you okay, dude, uh, I mean, Ladybug?
Ladybug: Yeah, but we're gonna need some help! Lucky Charm! (A Candle appears) A candle? Ah, of course! I don't have enough time to do a round trip.
Nino: Maybe I could help you? (Ladybug gasps) Uh, I get it. It's cool. I'm no superhero. I'd try to save Alya, but… I guess I'm not strong enough.
Ladybug: Let me tell you a secret, uh… (picks up Cat Noir's staff)
Nino: Nino. The name's Nino.
Ladybug: Nino. When you're facing a super villain, strength doesn't make a difference. Courage and determination do. (Ladybug gives Nino Cat Noir's staff) We can't let Anansi get Cat Noir's Miraculous. Use this to defend yourself and distract her. I won't be long. (Nino looks amazed)
(Anansi is pulling on Cat Noir's leather ears)
Anansi: Where did you hid your earrings, kitty cat?
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Anansi, the earrings are Ladybug's Miraculous! (pinches the bridge of his nose) Ugh, Cat Noir's Miraculous is a ring!
Anansi: Why didn't you just say so?
Nino: Hey arachnid!
Anansi: Ah, so you're back, cappie?
Ladybug: (a few buildings away) I trust you, Nino.
Marinette: Master, Nino won't hold off Anansi for long, she's about to get a hold of Cat Noir's Miraculous!
Master Fu: We can't let that happen. (Master Fu opens the phonograph to get the Miraculous jewelry box. He places it one the ground before Marinette and unlocks it.) Marinette Dupain-Cheng, pick an ally you can trust to fight alongside you on this mission. Choose wisely, such powers are meant to serve a greater good. Once the mission is over, you must retrieve the Miraculous from them.
Marinette: I need a protective Miraculous. (gasps; points at the Turtle Miraculous) That's the one I need, master! (Master Fu gasps) Uh, if it's okay with you.
Master Fu: (smiles and nods to Wayzz) Do you have someone in mind, Marinette? (he takes off the bracelet and Wayzz flies back inside)
Marinette: Actually, I think I found just the right person.
Anansi: Wow, be careful. What are you trying to do with that little stick?
Cat Noir: On your left, no, on your right. No, the other right.
Anansi: (grabs the staff) You're gonna hurt yourself.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Anansi, enough toying with your prey. Concentrate on seizing Cat Noir's Miraculous.
(Anansi throws Nino on the ground)
Alya: Nino!
(Nino extends Cat Noir's staff and hits Anansi on the head and knocks her off her feet.)
Nino: So, who's the fly-weight now, huh?
Anansi: Alright, big-boy. (she punches the ground next to Nino, which sends him flying; she kicks him a few more times) I suggest you stay down, cappie. (Nino presses a button on the staff, which extends it and hits Anansi underside the chin) You're gonna regret this, big time!
Nino: You shouldn't have underestimated me, legs. (charges again)
Cat Noir: (to Alya) Your friend's good at this.
Alya: Yeah, but I sure hope Ladybug gets back before he gets bad at it.
Anansi: (grabs him) Game over. Time to fly, lightweight!
(Nino gets caught mid-air by Ladybug, who sets him upon a building)
Nino: Thanks, Ladydude, uh, I mean, Ladybug.
Ladybug: Thanks for dropping by, dude. (shoulder-bumps him)
Anansi: (crawling over to Cat Noir and grabbing his ring-wielding hand with one hand, and reaching for his ring with another) It's just you and me, kitty cat.
Cat Noir: Hey, spider, guess what, Cataclysm!
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) No! Don't touch his ring, it's charged with destructive energy.
Anansi: Hey, make up your mind, Mothy, I couldn't care less about his Miraculous. You're the one who's been nagging me about it all evening.
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) Cat Noir has called on his power but he can't use it. Just be patient and wait for him to transform back. Then the ring will be uncharged once again and you'll be able to take it from him.
Anansi: Whatever, if you say so.
Cat Noir: (to no one in particular) Hurry up, Ladybug.
Ladybug: (to Nino) I'm gonna need your help again. Do you still wanna save your friend?
Nino: (looks determined) I'll do anything for her.
Ladybug: Nino Lahiffe, (holds out a wooden jewellery box) this is the Miraculous of the turtle, which grants the power of protection. You will use it for the greater good.
Nino: (takes the jewellery box and opens it, a green orb of light emerges and floats around him) Wow, dude!
Wayzz: Hello, my name is Wayzz.
Nino: Hey little guy, what are you, a genie like in those fairytales?
Wayzz: I am a Kwami. I can't grant wishes, but I can give you super powers.
Ladybug: Once the job is done, you must return the Miraculous to me. Can I trust you?
Nino: You bet, dudette.
Wayzz: Then all you have to say is: 'Wayzz, shell on!'.
Nino: Wayzz, shell on! (Nino transforms into Carapace)
Carapace: (laughs) That's crazy!
Ladybug: Stay focussed! We have to hurry before Cat Noir transforms back. And we need him to safe Alya. Lucky Charm! (Boxing gloves appear)
Carapace: Boxing gloves? You're not gonna fight Anansi directly, are you?
(Ladybug uses her Lucky Vision, it highlights: Carapace, Le Arc de Triomphe and Cat Noir.)
Ladybug: Why not? It's a simple plan, but you have to protect us; me, Cat Noir and Alya. (puts a hand on his shoulder) You've already proved you're capable of doing it.
(Carapace smiles and nods, Ladybug nods back; they jump off and run towards the Arc de Triomphe)
Carapace: Hey, six-hands! Catch this! (throws his shield)
Anansi: Change of ..., you replaced your kitty with a turtle?
Ladybug: I love animals, but I'm not into spiders. Ha! (throws yo-yo)
Anansi: Ha! Missed me.
Ladybug: Did I? (wraps her yo-yo cord around the pillars of the Arc de Triomphe, making a makeshift boxing ring; meanwhile Carapace is fighting Anansi; Ladybug steps into the ring, wearing the boxing gloves) Anansi, I challenge you. One round. You win? You get my Miraculous. I win? You release your prisoners. What do you have to lose? (Cat Noir's ring beeps frantically) In a few minutes, Cat Noir will transform back anyway.
Hawk Moth: Don't listen to her, it's a trap.
Anansi: Don't worry, butterfly man, this nasty bug ain't no match for Anansi. (they stand ready) I'll devour you, little nasty bug.
(Carapace hits Cat Noir's stick on his own shield, making the sound of a bell)
Anansi: One punch will be enough.
Ladybug: (dodges her hits) You can't punch the wind. (she stands in the corner of the ring)
Anansi: It's over. (tries to hit Ladybug, misses and instead punches one of the pillars of the Arc de Triomphe, causing it to crack)
Ladybug: One punch, huh? Well, maybe if you could actually land one.
Anansi: Shut up!
Ladybug: (still dodging) Why, do you have trouble doing two things at the same time?
(Ladybug goes into another corner, Anansi tries to hit, misses and cracks another pillar)
Anansi: (growls) Stay still!
(The pillar cracking scenario repeats itself 3 more times; the Arc begins to crumble)
Ladybug: (giggles) You're so weak that when you're shadow boxing, your shadow wins!
Anansi: Shadow this! (kicks Ladybug) You can't win this fight so give up and give me your Miraculous.
Ladybug: You wish.
(Ladybug lands against the wires of the boxing ring, she walks backwards, causing the wires to cut into the pillars of the Arc, in turn causing the Arc to collapse; Anansi's leg gets caught under a heavy block of stone.)
Ladybug: (grabs Carapace and hauls the two of them up to the web) It's all up to you, Captain Turtle.
(Carapace goes to Alya, Ladybug goes to Cat Noir)
Ladybug: Use your power, now!
Carapace: At your service, dude. (Alya looks surprised, then suspicious) Uh, Ladybug. (holds up his shield) Shellter!
(A big glowing green ball appears around the foursome; the ball falls down; from a distance is seen, how the Arc collapses completely; Carapace stops the shelter; Alya stares up at him with awe)
Cat Noir: You're not really replacing me with a turtle, are you? (he pouts; the rubbish rumbles; Anansi emerges)
Ladybug: Not now, kitty. (throws Cat Noir) Throw like a ladybug, stretch like a cat.
(Cat Noir touches the boxing helmet, it is disintegrated, falls to pieces and an Akuma emerges)
Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma. Time to de-evillize! (Catches the Akuma) Gotcha! (Releases the now-purified butterfly) Bye-bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!
(The Miraculous Cure spreads itself throughout the city, repairing the Ferris wheel and cleansing the streets of cobwebs; Anansi is detransformed into Nora)
Nora: The Beetle and Mister Whiskers? What going on here?
(Ladybug holds her fist up to fist bump, Cat Noir is about to reciprocate, when his Miraculous beeps)
Cat Noir: Sorry, guys, but I've gotta split.
Ladybug: You know you're irreplacable. (Cat Noir smiles and nods, then runs off)
Ladybug and Carapace: (Fistbump) Pound it!
Alya: Wow, this is a first for the Ladyblog. A brand new superhero! What's your name?
Carapace: Uh… (looks questioningly to Ladybug, who just smiles back) Carapace. Call me Carapace.
Ladybug: See you later, bugheads. (runs off; Carapace follows; they both take off with Ladybug's yo-yo)
Alya: (to the camera) And stay connected.
Carapace: Shell off.
Nino: Thank you for trusting me.
Ladybug: You were a true superhero, Nino.
Nino: (scratches the backside of his head) Uhh…
Hawk Moth: You're gaining more allies, Ladybug, but don't rush to rejoice. Soon you might just be outnumbered. (laughs in an evil manner)
(His window closes)
Nino: (out of breath) Hey, you okay? You weren't too scared, were you?
Alya: I'm fine. I saw that you tried to save me.
Nino: Uhm. Actually… no. I didn't do much. It's not like I'm a superhero or anything. (laughs uncomfortably)
Alya: (whispering to Nino) I know perfectly well, what you're like.
(Nino laughs extremely uncomfortably)
Nora: Fly-weights! Truth is… I did lose the match… and my cool. Sorry about everything that went down.
Marinette: Nor- uh, Anansi. I, uh, actually… you didn't lose the game.
Nora: Huh?
Marinette: I helped Nino to win by distracting you. I'm sorry.
Nora: Hey! We're cool, Marinette. (holds her hand out, Marinette takes it) It's no big deal. (grabs Nino too and hugs both tight) … proof that it doesn't need muscle to be strong.
Alya: (Joins the hug; chuckles; to Nora) Want a scoop? You're the best.
Nino: What if Nora came with us to the ice rink next weekend? It'll be more fun with her, don't you think?
Alya: You're right, Nino. Besides, I don't even remember the last time I hung out with my big sis.
(The endcard shows Marinette and Nino ice-skating and Alya supporting a very uncomfortable-looking Nora on ice-skates)
