[narrating] In the daytime, I'm Marinette.
Just a normal girl with a normal life.
But there's something about me that no one knows yet.
'Cause I've got a secret.

People of Paris, I am Monarch, more powerful than ever.
From now on, I will be attacking you tirelessly
unless someone brings me Ladybug and Cat N--
The big question on everyone's lips,
"How did Monarch get his hands on the Miraculous
Ladybug was supposed to protect?"
I thought the holder of the Dog Miraculous was Adrien Agreste.
-You know who I'm talking about? -Uh, vaguely, yes.
It turns out, Flairmidable wasn't Adrien Agreste!
But I didn't know that
and I mistakenly gave the Miraculous to his cousin, Félix.
He looks so much like him, he passed himself off as Adrien.
That's how he stole the Miraculous from you!
Yes. And now Monarch has them.
In that case, they both made a mistake,
because that proves the two of them are linked somehow.
We have to hunt down Félix. Let's switch to hyper speed.
Ladybug, you were supposed to protect the Miraculous.
You have failed in your duty as Guardian.
Dark wings fall.
[kwamis whimpering]
I swore I'd have you all under my control.
Granted, two of your friends managed to get away from my dear nephew, Félix.
And the Miraculous of the Rabbit did get away from me,
but don't be fooled. Now that your powers are mine,
Ladybug and Cat Noir's kwamis will soon join you.
But I did protect the Miraculous!
Then explain how they're no longer in your possession,
the fifteen that remained in the box, including the Rabbit?
What would happen if Monarch decided to use that Miraculous
to change the course of time?
-He already tried. -I-- [stuttering]
But don't worry. We got it back and put it somewhere safe.
We entrusted it to an exceptional holder.
We're gonna do the same for all the others.
Because we finally have a clue that might lead us to Monarch.
So instead of blaming us, help us, Grand Master, and trust us for once.
You're right, Ladybug. I should have helped you.
Instead, I let myself be distracted by the modern world,
like these incredibly expensive shoes,
and these electronic gadgets that wasted away four months of my existence
-with videos of cute kittens! -Ah. Uh…
[gasps] I've been a guardian for longer than you have.
I am more experienced and stronger.
Instead of being a piercing spear, I should have been a protective shield!
Argh, fine, fine, but please get up.
Everybody makes mistakes.
Try to find something you could do to help us.
-That'd be great! -You are right!
I-- I-I-I'll go back to the Temple…
-Uh. -…to get some backup.
[grunting] Whoo!
[stammering]
He's not gonna leap all the way to Tibet like that, is he?
[Ladybug grunts]
[both] Power up!
[Cosmobug] Let's find Félix.
[narrating] Félix Fathom is the son of American billionaire Colt Fathom,
who died last year,
and aristocrat Lady Amélie Graham de Vanilli,
a triple kung fu and horse-riding medalist, chess prodigy,
and England's youngest graduate, lives in London with his mother,
the twin sister to the wife of fashion designer Gabriel Agreste.
My son wasn't here when I woke up.
I didn't worry.
I thought he might've gone to see Adrien in Paris.
Those two are so fond of each other.
Félix wasn't returning my calls, so I contacted his uncle Gabriel.
He told me he hadn't seen him!
And yet he was in Paris. I talked to him.
Oh, Cosmobug, Astrocat, I hope nothing's happened to him.
Don't worry, ma'am. He'll probably end up at his uncle's.
Or he might already be on his way back home to London!
Thanks so much to the two of you for your support.
[Astrocat] What if we're wrong about Félix?
Do you think he might be one of Monarch's victims instead?
I just don't know.
He was our only lead to recover the Miraculous.
We'll find more leads, Monarch will keep attacking,
and we'll figure out what happened to Félix.
Until we do, we're gonna have to be more careful than ever.
With all the powers that Monarch has now,
-we have to expect anything at any time. -I know.
Let's head back.
It's been a long day.
[grunts]
Spots off!
[grunts, sighs]
[sighs]
[laughing]
This banana seesaw is awesome! [laughs]
Whoo-hoo!
[grunts]
[grunts, sniffs]
-[chuckles] -[whimpers, grunts]
[beeps]
Alya?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm back home. Can you come and sleep over tonight?
-Thanks. See you in five. -[beeps]
[Astrocat] Claws in!
[Plagg grunts]
[swallows]
Remember how we would try to be each other when we were little?
Well, we're gonna do the same thing, because unlike you,
I can say no to your father.
I never should've let Félix influence me. I should've listened to Marinette.
Why don't you tell them all that you don't want to do this?
[grunts]
Father, I've something important to tell you, but I don't know how.
Get to the point, Adrien. You see I'm busy.
-I don't want to be a model anymore. -Fine. If that's what you want.
Huh? [stammers]
Was there something else?
Mmm. [grunts]
There will be no more holders,
no more Rena Rouge, no more Carapace because of me!
Monarch is stronger than ever before!
-It's not your fault, Marinette. -Of course it is!
It all happened because I mistook Félix for Adrien.
-Can you believe that? -Of course I can.
Félix was passing himself off as Adrien. He would have fooled anyone.
Not me. I say I'm in love with Adrien, but maybe I don't even know him.
Of course you know him! You've been through so much together.
You practiced your video games skills together in this very room.
He wore your fashion designs, you went to the movies,
you even kissed him at the Grévin Museum!
I mean, even though you thought it was his statue.
Oh, no! I did do that, didn't I?
But see? It proves my love for him is blind.
I can't tell the difference between the actual Adrien and a statue!
Because of that, I made the biggest mistake of my life.
I lost the Miraculous and their kwamis.
You've already got one back, and you'll get the others back too.
As long as I'm fighting against Monarch,
I can't be distracted by my love for Adrien.
I don't deserve him anyway.
No more intricate plans to get him to fall for me.
I can't afford to make any more mistakes.
Hello? Need I remind you you've tried to not be in love with him before?
This time though, I'll do whatever it takes.
-The safety of Paris is at stake. -Mm-hmm.
I have to be the guardian of the Miraculous before anything else!
-[ringing] -[Alya] Mmm.
-[screams] -[grunts]
Well, well, well, a boy you don't love is calling.
-Are you gonna pick up? -No, no, no!
I don't know him, and I don't pick up calls from strangers!
Marinette Dupain-Cheng's assistant. Who is this?
-Alya? -[whispering] Tell him I'm not here.
Marinette is telling me to tell you she isn't here,
which is frankly embarrassing.
Oh, that's too bad.
When she's back, tell her my father's fine with me not modeling anymore.
What? You don't want to be a model anymore?
Now that's a scoop.
You had a heart-to-heart with your father? That's wonderful!
Marinette! You're back?
Uh… [chuckles] …yes. I was gone, but now I'm back.
I do that sometimes.
I'm a black belt in going back and forth actually.
I've been meaning to tell you.
Ever since I started school, so many new things have happened to me.
There's still a lot I fully don't get, but there's one thing I know.
My life would be very different
-without you in it. -Mmm.
You've always been there for me through every rough patch
giving me good advice.
You're special. Thank you, Marinette.
Uh, you're welcome?
I mean it. I want you to know how important you are to me.
And hopefully, someday,
I can do as much for you as you've done for me.
[Alya] Mmm.
Uh, well, that sounds great. See you tomorrow then?
-[Adrien] Sweet dreams, Marinette. -Yeah.
That's it! That's it! You two are finally going to fall in love!
See? You do know each other.
What? It's not like that. He's just a school buddy.
Somebody I know, kind of, but not that well.
[groans] You gotta be kidding me!
[grunts]
[sighs] Marinette is so special.
If you insist on saying she's just a friend
with that silly smile on your face, then you're as fake as pasteurized cheese.
[Adrien] Mmm.
Hmm.
-[door opens] -[Adrien groans]
My daughter, your friend Alix, will be away for some time.
Ladybug has authorized me to tell you that Alix was chosen to be a superhero.
Bunnyx!
-[students gasp] -[Mylene] Whoa! So cool!
[Mr. Kubdel] She will travel through time so he cannot take her Miraculous.
Once he's been overpowered, she can return.
Thank you, Mr. Kubdel.
We can only commend you and your daughter for your courage.
Everyone should be ready to help Ladybug and Cat Noir like Alix was.
Not only that, you don't have to be a superhero to support them.
But Monarch is really scary now.
-[clicking] -And rightly so.
He now has 78.95% of the Miraculous, and higher odds of winning.
Max, statistics are cool, but you're bringing everybody down right now.
Usually when you're scared,
-you practice yoga, and it works. -Mmm.
Ivan's right, Mylene. Maybe you could help people like you balance their emotions.
-We can't let fear get the better of us. -Mmm.
-Monarch won't win if we stay positive! -[students cheer] Yeah!
You guys are tired of being scared?
Then why don't we give Monarch what he's after?
It's because Ladybug and Cat Noir are incompetent that we're all in danger.
This would never have happened with Queen Bee!
-[Lila] Ladybug is young, Chloé. -Hmm?
With all those responsibilities and powers,
she was bound to make a few mistakes.
We have to find the strength to forgive her.
It shouldn't be a child's duty to fight Monarch.
[groans]
It's true! It's usually my dad's job to stop bad guys!
You're right, Lila. We can't let Ladybug down!
[students cheering] Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
[lively music playing]
[Ladybug] Hmm.
[video game blasting]
It's been weeks since any villain attacked Paris.
Could this mean that Monarch is no longer a threat?
You've gotten pretty good at Rummy, milady, but not as good as me.
We'll see about that, Kitty-cat.
Do you think we're rid of Monarch?
That'd be too easy.
And still no news from Félix.
Nothing. So weird.
Mmm.
-[grunts, chuckles] -[Marinette chuckles]
-[grunts] -[Adrien] Mmm.
-[grunting] -[all gasp]
All these old buildings from a bygone era!
[all grunt]
It's time to smash the old Paris to the ground
and turn it into a modern city!
[stammering]
Lucky for us, Ladybug's gonna come and save us!
-Right? She's gonna come and save us! -Ah!
Mmm, that's right. And we-- we're gonna go and hide.
That's right, hide! [grunts]
You're still the best. You always have been. You've got this!
Thanks, Alya.
It's been so long. What does Monarch have in store for us?
Don't let doubt take over, Marinette.
-You are an amazing Ladybug. -Mmm.
Tikki, spots on! Yeah!
[cable whirs]
We're back in business, my friend!
That quiet spell was so wonderful. I knew it couldn't last.
Plagg, claws out!
-[Ladybug grunts] -So we finally hear from Monarch,
and the best he can do is a rerun of Ikari Gozen?
Except we didn't fight her on our own last time.
We can do this, M'Lady.
-We've been on our own before. -Mmm.
Ah! [laughs]
Two more Parisian antiques.
Ladybug, Cat Noir, it's time for you to be grounded.
Hey. We're not that worn-out. We'll prove it.
Paris needs more modern heroes!
-[grunts] -[Cat Noir strains]
[grunting]
[gasps]
-[screaming] -Ladybug! [grunts]
[grunting]
-Are you all right? -[footsteps]
-[grunts] Fine, thanks. -[laughing]
No! The Arc de Triomphe!
Don't worry, Cat Noir, I can fix everything!
You'll have to defeat me first, Ladybug!
[both grunting]
You're gonna have to Cataclysm her sword.
That's where the akuma was last time around.
You can count on me!
I love architecture too much to let her keep going like this!
I'm going to rid Paris of this old Palais!
[grunts] Cataclysm!
-[grunts] -[grunts] She's too fast!
[grunting]
If only we could stop her blade.
[shouting]
[Ikari grunts]
-[gasps, grunts] -[Ikari grunts]
[Ikari groans]
-Multitude! -Multitude?
[gasps] Uh.
That's the summoning of the Miraculous of the Mouse!
That's the power of multiplication!
Let's get this over with once and for all!
[grunting]
-[both gasp, grunt] -[grunts]
[grunts] Monarch gave the Miraculous of the Mouse to Ikari Gozen?
Good. 'Cause that's the one we're gonna get back next! [grunts]
It is I who is going to get your Miraculous! [grunting]
Ah, so, you're interested in these ancient jewels now?
I thought you only cared for modern, technological things.
-[groans] Ah! -[grunts]
-Nicely played. -[Ladybug] Mmm.
You should give us your old Miraculous, Ikari Dozen.
It's not modern enough for ya.
Old things can have a purpose, provided they are modernized!
[both grunting, panting]
We're gonna to have to break all 12 swords?
No, it should only take one.
She made identical copies of herself.
Why don't you summon your good old superpower?
Lucky charm!
-[grunts] -Think she'll take the bait?
We just need to find the right fishing spot.
Found it. Here's what you're gonna do. Take this. You're going to…
[whispering inaudibly]
-[grunting] -[wire whirring]
[groans]
-[grunting] -[all grunting]
[Ikari groans, grunts]
[panting]
So, what, there's six of you and you can't get my Miraculous from me?
You're kinda slow for a so-called technological villain, Ikari Dozen.
-Ah! -[all grunting]
-[grunts] Are you ready? -Fishercat in position.
And make way for the new world!
-[shouts] -[grunts]
[cable whirring]
[gasps, straining]
-[Cat Noir] Touché! -Ah! Ah! [screams, gasps]
[Ladybug] No more evildoing for you, Megakuma.
Time to de-evilise!
Gotcha!
Bye-bye, little butterfly!
Looks like we've still got it, M'Lady!
[both] Pound it!
[gasps]
-What happened? -You were akumatized.
How could I help it?
They refused to let me demolish the Buttes-Chaumont Park
to make way for my Technopole.
You can build it somewhere else.
Mrs. Tsurugi, can you check whether you have a Miraculous with you?
Monarch must have given it to you after he akumatized you.
What does it look like?
It's a coin with a hole in the center, worn as a pendant.
I don't have anything like it with me.
How did Monarch do it, then?
That's the surprise he had in store for us after lying low for so long.
-[beeping] -[grunts]
We have to go.
Miraculous Ladybug!
[grunts]
-[Mrs. Tsurugi] Huh? -This magical charm will help you remember
that some emotions can cloud our judgment.
And that these old monuments of Paris
are some of the reasons why this city is the most beautiful in the whole world.
-Thank you. -[Ladybug] Bug out.
[Cat Noir] Whoo-hoo!
Tatsu, take me to the office.
Yes, Mrs. Tsurugi.
Tsurugi San.
The prototype works perfectly.
In every way.
We can move on to the next step.
The ties that bind us are precious. Unique.
They can all be found inside a jewel.
Unique. Alliance.
-Alliance informs. -[grunts]
[beeps]
Alliance, can you please tell me what the square root of 71,174 is?
8.14261.
-[Gabriel] Alliance guides. -[beeps]
Alliance, can you please tell me where I can find the best shoes around here?
500 feet down the street is a Gabriel store.
[Gabriel] Alliance protects.
[Alliance] Megakuma alert! Megakuma alert!
Thank you, Alliance. Can you please tell me where to hide?
[narrator] Created by Tsurugi. Designed by Gabriel. Alliance.
Bringing you closer together.
[crowd cheering]
Oh, your father is a genius.
Father, is that why you digitized me?
Yes, my son.
I am freeing you from your career as a model.
-That is what you wanted, isn't it? -Uh…
[swallows]
Tea break.
[exhales deeply]
Don't worry, my Félix.
Mama's here to protect you from those superheroes who think you're a villain.
[groans]
Hmm.
[gasps]
[Félix exhales]
Where's Nathalie?
Are you my new holder?
Oh, I am much more than that, Duusu.
