Part 26. Asynchronous Expectations (Oni-Chan 2.0, part C)
< First | < Previous | Next >
Description below the cut
Astrocat wings pattern from here.
Ladybug leaps through the air, swinging her yo-yo towards the Agreste mansion.
Ladybug: Those ribbons were coming from Adrien's place.  Now where's the villain...?
Cut to Gabriel’s atelier, where Oni-Chan is throwing up her hands (one hand holding her sword upwards) in exasperation while looking at a sentimonster—the Unpublisher—as he holds up a single finger.
The Unpublisher: It looks like you want to know what my powers are.  Would you like help?
Oni-Chan: Yes!  I just said that!
The Unpublisher has an uncanny smile and holds up a hand in helpful explanation.  (The Unpublisher is an unsettling inversion of Adrien Agreste—blue hair, dark blue skin, a black overshirt with a white undershirt, hair parted on the other side, and all line art with white lines instead of black.)
The Unpublisher: To delete a picture of Adrien Agreste: Hold my amok and order me to delete a picture of Adrien Agreste.
Oni-Chan picks up a photonegative that was left on the corner of the central platform of Gabriel’s atelier.
Oni-Chan: Is this it?
The Unpublisher: That is the amok belonging to the Unpublisher.  Helpful tip: the Unpublisher is me!  This amok can be used to control the actions of the Un—
Oni-Chan: I get it.
Oni-Chan holds the photonegative and points towards Gabriel’s computer.  The Unpublisher looks at her with a large grin.
Oni-Chan: Look through that computer for Adrien Agreste photos.  Delete all of them from existence.
The Unpublisher: Got it.  Please be patient while I take care of that for you.
Ladybug throws the door open and leaps into the room, wielding her yo-yo.  A couple black ribbons are starting to weave their way into the world.
Ladybug: Not if I have anyth—
Ladybug is abruptly swarmed by a dense slurry of the magical ribbons conjured by the Unpublisher as he deletes every image of Adrien that Gabriel owns.
Ladybug: —Mmph!
Cut to Rena Furtive looking through her telescope at Oni-Chan teleporting across the rooftops as the ribbons fan out across the world.
Ladybug (over comm): I can't get past these ribbons!
Rena Furtive: You might not have to.  Oni-Chan’s mass-teleporting again.  She’s holding something new—I assume it's an amok?
Ladybug (over comm): Then I’ll have to bring her to me...
Cut to Nathalie’s bedroom, where Nathalie sits on the edge of her bed as she speaks to Ladybug.  Her room is largely untouched by the ribbons (though a few can be seen flowing past her windows).  Note that Nathalie has a large map of the world on her wall.
Ladybug: Ms. Sancouer, I need your help.  Do you have a picture of Adrien that Mr. Agreste doesn’t have copies of?
Nathalie: I believe so.
Nathalie (internally): As much as I want to find Adrien, I can't risk an akuma like Oni-Chan leading Gabriel to him first.  If Gabriel asks, I’ll just say I couldn’t refuse Ladybug without rousing suspicion.
A closeup of Nathalie holding her tablet, on which is a picture of Adrien as he stole the grimoire.  He has yet to be deleted.
Nathalie: Here.
Ladybug: Wait, don't look yet—
Oni-Chan teleports in and hits Nathalie (and her tablet with the offending image) with her sword, petrifying her.  Oni-Chan looks towards Ladybug and waves an angry fist (which holds the photonegative amok).
Oni-Chan: Again, Ladybug?  Why must you keep getting in my way?
Oni-Chan swings her sword towards Ladybug, who manages to deflect it with her yo-yo as she leaps back.
Oni-Chan: I just want to find Adrien!  Don't you want that too?
Ladybug: Not like this!  I won't let you hurt everyone just to get to him!
Close-up of Oni-Chan’s unyielding eyes.
Oni-Chan: Then perish!
Ladybug, on pure instinct, yells and throws her yo-yo.
Ladybug: Chat Noir, now!
Ladybug clenches her eyes shut, berating herself.
Ladybug (internally): Stupid reflex!
Ladybug yanks her yo-yo back before it makes contact with Oni-Chan.
Ladybug (internally): He's not here!
Ladybug uses her yo-yo to flee as Oni-Chan lunges towards her.  But behind Oni-Chan, Catwalker has backflipped into the room behind her, his finger touching the amok with his Cataclysm.
Ladybug (internally): I have to fall back and try something els—
Catwalker: Cataclysm!
A closeup of Oni-Chan as she teleports away as the feather starts to emerge from the amok.
Cut to a closeup of the Unpublisher as he begins to dissolve, his mouth forming an ‘O’ as his final ribbon fails as it comes out his finger.
Cut back to Nathalie’s bedroom (she’s still petrified), where Ladybug raises a hesitant hand towards Catwalker.
Ladybug: C-Catwalker?  Where’s the amok?
Catwalker: Oni-Chan took it with her when she teleported away.
Ladybug, face in panicked shock, clenches her fists.
Ladybug: No!  That means I can’t heal the sentimonster’s damage!
Catwalker holds out an appeasing hand.
Catwalker: But it was only destroying Adrien Agreste’s modeling photos, right?  No one got hurt.  And I don't think Adrien would mind losing all that exposure.
Ladybug holds up her hands in infuriation.
Ladybug: Not mind???  Those pictures are incredibly important to Adrien and everyone who still cares about him!  They were all anyone had left of him!
Catwalker slumps and touches the back of his neck.
Catwalker: I'm sorry.
Ladybug: What were you even thinking?
Catwalker: I thought... I thought I was following your orders...
Ladybug points her finger in accusation.
Ladybug: The only order I've given you is to stay out of my way.  And you can't even do that!  I am this close to taking that ring and giving it to someone else, screw what Mayura promised!
Catwalker backs up against the bedroom door, shamefaced, holding his baton in both hands in front of him.
Catwalker: You called for Chat Noir.  Since he couldn't answer you, I just... did what I thought he would have done.
Ladybug shoves Catwalker through the doors, bursting them open.  Catwalker loses grip on his baton as he tumbles backwards.
Ladybug: Don't you dare put the blame on him!  You aren't Chat Noir!  And me calling for him out of old instincts does not give you the right to act like you could ever fill his shoes!
Ladybug slams the doors shut.
Ladybug: Here's your new orders: Go home!  You've put in your mandatory appearance, now leave me alone!
Cut to a conciliatory Rena Furtive calling over her comm, split screen with Ladybug as she answers over her comm, trying to get a grip on herself.
Rena Furtive: I'm sorry.  I know how important Adrien's pictures have been for you.
Ladybug: I can't worry about what's been lost.  I need to figure out my next move.
Rena Furtive: All the other heroes have been frozen by Oni-Chan.  We're running out of allies.  If we can't use Catwalker, I might have to expose myself and join in the battle.
Cut to Catwalker as he sits sadly on the floor on the other side of the door, hugging his knees and eavesdropping on Ladybug.
Ladybug (voiceover): I can handle this all on my own.  I just need a...
Cut to the creation of a Lucky Charm.  It’s a pair of gloves holding hands, one red covered in black spots with Ladybug’s emblem on the wrist, the other solid black with a red paw print on its wrist.
Ladybug: ...Lucky Charm!
Rena Furtive (over comm): What did you get?
Ladybug: A red glove glued to a black glove... holding... hands?
Ladybug looks frazzled and in deep denial as she lifts one of the fingers from the red glove and making it point somewhere.
Rena Furtive (over comm): I hate to say it, but that sounds like you do need to ask for help this time.
Ladybug:  No!  This can't mean that I have to use him!  It's obviously just pointing towards...
Ladybug holds a pencil in the air, about to throw it, as she starts to cover her eyes with her other hand, one eye peeking as she takes aim.
Ladybug: ...This pencil!  And if I close my eyes and throw this pencil at this map, it'll show me where Adrien is!
Rena Furtive (over comm): Uh... I don't think your Lucky Charm works like that...
A close-up of the map, where the pencil has embedded itself.  Ladybug takes a picture of it with her yo-yo.
Ladybug: I've got the coordinates!  Now I just have to follow them!  Power up!
Catwalker watches Cosmobug flying through the sky via the window.  In one hand, he uses his baton to take a picture of the map; in the other, he holds a purple piece of cheese to his mouth.
Catwalker (internally): I'm sorry, but I think I have to disobey you once more, m'Lady...
Catwalker (aloud): Power up!
A closeup of a pair of cuffed black gloves in front of magical green wings.  He holds his baton in one hand and points at the picture of the map on its screen with the other.
Astrocat (internally): If I take a path curved away from the equator... I can get there before Ladybug does and—
Pull back to show Astrocat—the powered-up form of Chat Noir, not Catwalker—looking at himself in panic.
Astrocat (internally): Oh no.  I powered up as Astrocat without thinking!
Adrien hides himself behind a wall and detransforms.  Adrien closes his eyes and tries to focus.  Plagg, meanwhile, helps himself to another piece of purple cheese.
Adrien: Claws in!
Adrien (internally): Focus!  You're Catwalker.  Perfect...  Controlled... No more cat puns under any circumstances...
Adrien (aloud): Plagg, claws out!
Astrowalker—now in his proper form—resumes his flight to the location Cosmobug thinks she’ll find Adrien.
Astrowalker (internally): I really hope that no one saw that...
Cut to Rena Furtive, who Saw That.
Rena Furtive: Chat Noir...?

#John_Bercow avoids #reporters' queries with early morning quips 'This is not a game, the clock is ticking': Exasperated #EU ministers blast the UK for Brexit chaos and demand 'clear and precise' proposals for delaying the UK's departure Michael Roth spoke after Speaker John Brecow blocked a new meaningful vote German Europe minister said: 'Dear friends in London, please deliver' French EU minister Loiseau questioned how useful an extension would be Attacked MPs for saying 'no' to both a no-deal Brecxit and a 'realistic deal' By DAVID WILCOCK, WHITEHALL CORRESPONDENT FOR MAILONLINE PUBLISHED: 10:16 GMT, 19 March 2019 | UPDATED: 11:08 GMT, 19 March 2019 Senior French and German ministers have torn into UK politicians over the Brexit chaos engulfing Westminster, demanding MPs finally make up their mind or risk a chaotic no-deal Brexit.
As EU foreign ministers met in Brussels there was a clear message that it was up to Britain to come up with a solution that would allow Brussels to delay Brexit.
The meeting of the General Affairs Council came the morning after Speaker John Bercow threw a massive spanner in the works of Mrs May's attempt to get a deal done before she faces EU leaders herself on Thursday.
German Europe minister Michael Roth told reporters in Brussels: 'Our patience as the European Union is being sorely tested at the moment.
'I can only call once again on our British partners in London to make concrete proposals at last on why they want an extension.'
Michael Roth said that London politicians had to make 'concrete proposals at last on why they want an extension' today, adding: 'Dear friends in London, please deliver. The clock is ticking'
French EU affairs minister Nathalie Loiseau spoke to reporters in Brussels today, the morning after John Bercow's dramatic intervention in Brexit seemed to block chances of a third meaningful vote any time soon
Downing Street has reacted with fury to Mr Bercow's insistence it cannot put an unchanged deal to a third vote and Mr Barclay accused Mr Bercow of 'raising the bar' for a deal with the EU today.
The Speaker refused to comment on his decision when greeted by reporters outside Parliament this morning.
Mrs May will fly to Brussels on Thursday for a tense EU summit at which she will admit Brexit must be delayed. She had hoped to go having secured support for her battered deal at the third attempt and ask only for a short technical extension of around three months
Members of the European Research Group led by Jacob Rees-Mogg seized on the Commons Speaker's intervention as they fight to secure No Deal Brexit on March 29 next week.
MPs on the group were heard whistling the 'Great Escape' theme tune in the Commons tea room last night in the belief Mr Bercow's bombshell makes their hopes of No Deal more likely.
They also hope a long delay - instead of a short extension to implement this deal - would allow them to dictate the terms of Brexit.
Former Cabinet minister David Jones said the ruling was 'absolutely accurate' and insisted it was a 'well known' rule - adding Mr Bercow was doing the 'right thing'.
Mrs May will fly to Brussels on Thursday for a tense EU summit at which she will admit Brexit must be delayed.
She had hoped to go having secured support for her battered deal at the third attempt and ask only for a short technical extension of around three months.
Instead she will beg for a much longer delay despite little clarity over what Britain might do with months or years more time.
As Mrs May's prepares her mission, the Foreign Office revealed its No Deal 'war room' today with just 11 days until Britain was supposed to leave the EU.

Nathalie ensures she packs snacks such as nuts and muesli when travelling because she can not work when she is hungry.  
If it comes to fitness and diet you often hear people saying they permit themselves cheat foods, which isn’t something that Nathalie is a huge believer in.

‘But even realizing that I find myself comparing myself to other women. Then you’ve got to be like, no, no, what do you do? It’s just unrealistic to compare yourself.’

Part 23. Contracted Liberation
<< First | < Previous | Next >
Description below the cut
Gabriel bangs his fists against the wall.
Gabriel: Nothing.  No sign of Adrien.  No leads.  And my arsenal of tools is completely ineffective.  My thumb on the mayor to control the police's search?  Marketing initiatives backed by a global brand?  The powers of the most feared supervillain in the world?  All useless!  And just to twist the knife, my akumas have started dying before they can evilize anyone!
Nathalie interlaces her fingers and looks away, in thought.
Nathalie (internally): It sounds like Catwalker has been using his Cataclysm preemptively.  Best not to point that out to Gabriel right now, though.  We shouldn't target Catwalker so soon after my truce with him and Ladybug.  Even if the heroes don't know how to contact Adrien, remaining cordial with them may open doors later on.
Nathalie points outward.
Nathalie (aloud): It's possible that the police who have been investigating Adrien's disappearance have been nearby often enough that they're shooting akumas on sight.  Perhaps you should consider going back to akumatizing those without any connection to Adrien?
Closeup of Gabriel gnashing his teeth.
Gabriel: Unacceptable!  I must find my son!
As Gabriel continues to bash against the wall, Nathalie comes up behind him.
Nathalie: If Adrien has any sort of agency right now, he might see all the akumas targeting him as a reason to stay in hiding.  Let up on that and he might consider Paris safe enough to come home.
Gabriel flings out his arm dramatically as a vein pulses in his forehead.
Gabriel: And if it wasn’t his choice?  Stopping my pursuit for even a moment could result in him slipping through my fingers permanently!  I will only stop using my akumas to search for my son when he is back under my roof where he belongs!
Nathalie puts her cellphone up to her ear.
Nathalie: Very well.  I'll make some calls.  If you need an akuma who is upset about Adrien, we can make one...
Nathalie (internally): One who will keep you busy until I figure out what to do next.
Cut to Kagami seated on the pink cushions in the ditch that comprises the seating area of Gabriel’s atelier.  She folds her hands over her lap on top of her notebook.
Nathalie: Thank you for meeting with me on such short notice, Kagami.
Kagami: You asked my mother to send me here.  How could I refuse?  I assume this is about Adrien?
Nathalie: It is.
Kagami: I suppose you want to involve me in a publicity stunt for your 'Find Adrien' campaign?  Is the 'kidnapping' story you fed the press no longer working?
Nathalie: This has nothing to do with marketing, I assure you.
Nathalie sits on the other side of the seating area and reads off something from her tablet.
Nathalie: Our 'Find Adrien' inbox received a peculiar anonymous tip: 'You have security cameras, go check the footage!'  We did.  Our security cameras caught nothing.  Just Adrien entering his room after he returned from his fencing lesson.  Nothing else.
Closeup of Nathalie’s face, her eyebrows accusatory.
Nathalie: It's strange that we acquired those security cameras from Tsurugi Industries, isn't it?
Nathalie puts down her tablet on the seat beside her.  Kagami folds her arms.  On the center block between Nathalie and Kagami, an assortment of Find Adrien posters have been placed, including a large billboard design near where Kagami is sitting.
Kagami: You think my mother had something to do with this?
Nathalie: No, Tsurugi-san would have no motive for hacking her product or absconding with Adrien. But you might. You would have been one of the last people to see him.  You had the opportunity to coordinate a plan with him.  Not to mention that you have a history of encouraging Adrien to go behind his father's back.
Kagami: So do a lot of his friends.  Blame them for hacking your cameras, I wasn't involved.  But if I had been asked, I would have helped Adrien flee this place.  He shouldn't have to put up with living by his father's rules anymore.
Kagami folds her arms and grins evilly.
Kagami: Frankly, I'm happy that he finally grew enough of a backbone to actually act.  There's nothing you can do to stop him now.
Cut to the back of the atelier by Emilie’s painting.  The hole for Gabriel’s secret elevator is open, inside of which the head of Shadowmoth is poking out of.  Shadowmoth taps out a message on his cane.
Nathalie (internally): This isn't working.  Kagami's not overwhelmed by emotion, she's just smug.  I'm out of my element here.  I've gotten used to defusing situations before they become a problem, not inflaming them.  Gabriel's far better suited to being a provocateur.  He knows what buttons to push and won't let anyone get in his way for long.  But since he insisted on hiding nearby to sic his akuma on her before anyone can interfere, I get to be the one to ruin someone's day...
Cut to a closeup of Nathalie’s tablet as it beeps with a new text message.
Nathalie (internally): Hmm?  A new message?
Shadomoth (text message): I left some stronger motivation for you in the Find Adrien inbox.  Use it. --🦋
Nathalie (internally): Gabriel, what are you up to now? *sigh* I guess I'll just have to go along with this...
Nathalie holds up her tablet and reads from it.
Nathalie (aloud): Oh my.
Kagami: What now?
Nathalie’s tablet: Banner: FIND ADRIEN.  From: [email protected]. We have Adrien Agreste in our clutches and are going to unalive him and you can't do anything about it!  Muhahahaha!
Nathalie: A ransom message just came through.  They're threatening to kill Adrien.
Kagami: To kill...?
Nathalie passes through the door out of the atelier.
Nathalie: Excuse me, I need to... speak with Mr. Agreste about handling this development.
Nathalie (internally): That should be enough motivation, right?
Cut to a closeup of Kagami opening her notebook, where she has taped a picture of her and Adrien and preserved a dried rose.
Kagami: Adrien didn't choose this?  This whole time I assumed that he ran away, but he really was kidnapped?
Kagami holds the rose in her hand, teary eyes clenched shut and teeth gritted.
Kagami: Whoever took him needs to pay for what they've done!
From the elevator hole, Shadowmoth raises out his hand and unleashes an akuma.
Shadowmoth (internally): Yes!  I can feel her anger now!
Shadowmoth (under his breath): Go, my akuma!
The akuma makes contact with the rose in Kagami’s hand.
Shadowmoth: Hello, Oni-Chan.
Cut to Nathalie eavesdropping from just outside the atelier, looking startled.
Nathalie (internally): Wait, Oni-Chan?  He was supposed to make her Riposte again, not—
Cut back to Kagami as the light mask illuminates her angered face.
Shadowmoth: The boy you so deeply care for is in grave danger.  I'm giving you the power to track down the last person who saw Adrien Agreste.  You will make them powerless to do anything ever again.
Kagami: With pleasure, Shadowmoth.

Part 18. Who You Know (Veritruce, part C)
<<First | <Previous | Next>
Description below the cut
Ladybug flies up through the sky.
Ladybug (internally): I can't believe he... No.  Focus. Plan first.
Ladybug flies up towards a cloud, headed towards a darker opening within the cloud.
Ladybug (internally): I don't have my yo-yo, but I can still... wait, is that a hole inside this cloud?
From inside the cloud, Ladybug sees a cloud doodle of Rena Furtive above the words “Detransformation Safe Zone”.
Ladybug (internally): I didn't even realize she was out tonight.  Thanks, Rena.
Ladybug (aloud): Spots off!
Cut to Mayura pointing her fan up towards Catwalker threateningly.
Mayura: So now it is only you and me, Catwalker.  You may not know Chat Noir's identity, but you clearly are not unfamiliar with keeping secrets.  Talk.
Catwalker, still stuck in the upper cone, looks down in annoyance.
Catwalker: Just because I told Ladybug about Adrien, that doesn't mean I'll tell you all about Chat Noir. You almost killed him.
Mayura: And I regret that.
Catwalker leans against the cone and points an accusatory finger.
Catwalker: If you truly regretted your actions, you wouldn't be trying to hunt him down.  Or is what you regret that you failed to kill him?
Mayura raises her hands in exasperation.
Mayura: I don't want Chat Noir dead!  I am trying to make up for the harm I've caused him!
Catwalker: If you actually wanted to absolve yourself, you would have revealed Shadowmoth's identity to us.
Close-up of Mayura wringing her fan in her hands.
Mayura: Protecting Shadowmoth and Chat Noir is the decision my conscience can live with.
Catwalker: You have another decision: Walk away.  Whatever Shadowmoth's goal is can't be worth it.
Mayura: Even if he'd wish for something that Chat Noir desperately wants?
Catwalker leans back and raises a contemptuous hand.
Catwalker: You don't know Chat Noir very well if you think he'd be swayed so easily.
Mayura: I know him better than you think.
Catwalker: That still doesn't mean you actually care about him as a person.
Mayura: I literally cannot lie to you about this!
Catwalker hits his fist against the barrier wall.
Catwalker: Sure you can!  You control the amok.  You could have ordered Veritruce to not react to your lies.  And even if you didn't do that, it only detects your belief in what you say. Beliefs can be wrong.  So whatever you claim about caring about Chat Noir, your lie detector can't prove that you're speaking the objective truth.
Mayura: Then perhaps I can provide you external evidence?
Close-up of Mayura in profile.  There is also the image of Marinette blushing as she holds up the charm bracelet she gave Adrien, as well as the scarf she made for him behind her.
Mayura: Ask your kwami to verify this: A girl Chat Noir knows well likes to give him gifts.  A charm bracelet he carries with him at all times.  A birthday present she made for him that was misattributed to another.  Opportunities too, she will advocate on his behalf so that he can enjoy freedoms he might not have otherwise.  She admires him greatly and Chat Noir, in turn, considers her a most precious friend.
Catwalker stares ahead in shock.
Mayura: Will that suffice for now?
Catwalker: How do you know all that?
Mayura: Because I know him.  He's someone I would protect with my dying breath if need be.
Catwalker: And you think you'll protect him by making sure that I'm the one endangering myself to fight Shadowmoth.
Mayura bows her head and looks away.
Mayura: I won't try to kill you.  But we still need the wish.  And if you are our adversary, the inevitable fallout will be better than if Chat Noir were still involved.  Will you agree to keep him out of this?
Catwalker looks down. His earpiece is visible in his ear.
Catwalker: If Chat chooses to involve himself, that's his decision.  But I won't give up my miraculous to anyone besides Ladybug.
Mayura: That should be enough.  Thank you.
The point of the bottom conic barrier hits the top barrier with a clack.  Veritruce looks up in surprise.
Catwalker (internally): Mayura said these barriers were reinforced by truths. With every truth we've said, they've grown thicker, and now they're close enough to touch.
A close-up of Catwalker glancing upwards.  There is also the image of Ladybug falling down through the sky.
Catwalker (internally): And Ladybug is almost back—she'll need my help, so I'd better activate my...
A close-up of Catwalker’s hand as his ring charges with destructive energy.
Catwalker (aloud): Cataclysm!
A close-up of Mayura’s shocked face.
Mayura: What??
Mayura (internally): When did he recharge his miraculous?
Cut to a flashback when Catwalker was the one flying upwards through the sky.  Alya answers her phone while looking out on her balcony. Catwalker places a finger in his ear to activate his earpiece to make a call.
Alya: Hello?
Catwalker: Rena, I need somewhere safe to detransform.
Alya: Catwalker?  Did you steal my phone number from my flute?
Catwalker: Don't make me answer that, there's a lie-detecting sentimonster here.
Alya: Okay, but where's 'here'?
Catwalker: Can you see the speck flying above the Agreste mansion?  That's me.
Alya: I'll get you some cloud cover.  Trixx, let's pounce!
Cut back to the present as Ladybug falls downward from the sky, her yo-yo in hand.
Ladybug (internally): I've got my yo-yo back, but Catwalker's still trapped and powerless, so I can't rely on him.  But that barrier now has holes I can still use to my advantage...  If I aim...
Ladybug, still falling, throws her yo-yo through one of the holes in the lower conical barrier.  In the cone above, Catwalker places his hand against its barrier.
Ladybug (internally): ...just... right...
Both barriers begin to disintegrate.
Catwalker: Cataclysm!
Mayura: What??
Ladybug’s eyes widen.
Ladybug (internally): He destroyed the barriers?  Oh no... He's falling right towards—
Ladybug’s yo-yo catches on Catwalker’s arm right above Mayura’s face, snagging him away before he can catch her.
Catwalker: Ngh!
Ladybug (internally): My yo-yo.
Mayura and Veritruce flee off the rooftop, while in the background Ladybug tries to disentangle Catwalker from her yo-yo.
Ladybug: Let me untangle—
Catwalker: Don't worry about me!  We can't let Mayura get away!

Part 17. Truthful by Technicality (Veritruce, part B)
<<First | <Previous | Next>
Description below the cut
The sentimonster Veritruce glows with magical energy.
Veritruce: LIE DETECTED!
Veritruce moves the part of the conic barrier that Catwalker was stuck in upwards with such force that Catwalker is flung straight into the sky.  Ladybug reaches her hand uselessly toward him.
Veritruce: LIAR EJECTED!
Ladybug: Catwalker!
Mayura projects an air of innocence while Veritruce floats by her with a cheerful smile.  Ladybug continues to be stuck in the barrier, annoyed.
Mayura: I probably should have mentioned: Veritruce is always watching for lies, I don't have to ask it to verify every statement.
Ladybug points her fingers accusingly towards Mayura.
Ladybug: Then that means you need to answer me truthfully too.  So: Why do you need to know what Chat has been doing so badly?
Mayura averts her gaze, clenching her fists.
Mayura: Chat Noir’s identity carries... unforeseen consequences.
Ladybug: You recognized him when he detransformed.  Who is he to you?
Mayura: He is... someone that we wanted to avoid akumatizing prior to now.
Ladybug panics.
Ladybug: You can't akumatize him!  The world... You cannot let that happen!
Mayura thumps her fan against the palm of her hand.
Mayura: I have no intention of allowing Chat Noir to be akumatized.  But, if the last few akumas are any indication, Shadowmoth may end up ignoring my advice, should he become too focused on certain means for accomplishing his goals.
Ladybug looks at Mayura critically.
Ladybug: 'Last few akumas'? You mean the ones that have been going after Adrien Agreste, right?  Is... is Shadowmoth choosing akumas who will hunt down Adrien deliberately?
Mayura stands with fan grasped in both hands, Ladybug’s yo-yo lying on the ground behind her.
Mayura: It's not what you think.  Shadowmoth merely wants to see the Agreste boy reunite with his father.
Ladybug: This is the same Shadowmoth that doesn't care when he terrorizes Paris, right?
Mayura: He's not that heartless.  If anything, he cares too acutely for his own good.  Once he decides how the world should be, he doesn't let go of it easily.
Mayura covertly looks above her, where Catwalker falls through a cloud in the sky.
Mayura: Speaking of persistence...
Veritruce creates a second cone, this one purple and inverted, in which to catch the falling Catwalker.
Mayura: Veritruce, seclude the liar.
Catwalker splats dizzily into the bottom of the new cone before he can make contact with the first cone.
Catwalker: Kaaadrghkh!
Ladybug: Catwalker!
Catwalker: Ow...
Ladybug: Are you okay?
Catwalker: I'll live...
Catwalker pushes himself up against the cone’s sides so he can reorient himself upright.
Mayura: Veritruce reinforces its barriers with the Power of Truth, did you really think it wouldn't notice that you lied about knowing Chat Noir's identity?
Catwalker: We only had your word about what it could do.  Testing whether we could lie seemed like a good idea.
Catwalker sits himself against the cone’s side.
Mayura: What if the consequences were something else—say, vaporizing you?
Catwalker: Then that would have been helpful information for Ladybug to know.
Mayura: Hmph.  You're lucky that I'm not done prying answers out of you yet.
A wide shot showing Mayura standing under the original pink cone, with Ladybug stuck in the barrier on one side and the stretched up hole left from where Catwalker was previously trapped.  Catwalker is currently trapped in an inverted purple cone, its tip floating mere inches above the tip of the pink cone.
Catwalker: Ladybug, what have you told Mayura?
Ladybug: Actually, she's mostly been the one answering me.  She's agreed to not let Chat get akumatized.  Also, Shadowmoth wants Adrien to come home, apparently.
Catwalker: That’s… concerning.
Mayura: What is there to be concerned about?  Isn't it a good thing if Chat Noir remains unaffected by akumas and a missing boy returned home?
A shot of Mayura��s lower half, Ladybug’s yo-yo still on the ground behind her.
Mayura: Unless your concern comes from something else...?  Tell me, Catwalker...
Catwalker folds his arms and looks down.
Mayura: What do you know about Adrien's disappearance?
Catwalker: I don't want to answer that question.
Ladybug’s eyes tear up, aghast, and reaches up towards Catwalker.
Ladybug: You know what happened to Adrien?  How?
Catwalker: ...
Ladybug: Answer me!
Catwalker: I was... around right before Adrien went missing...
Catwalker looks away, holding his hands between his knees.
Catwalker: I couldn’t help but notice that Adrien was deeply troubled by something, something he refused to disclose when asked.  But it was clear that he needed an escape... and that if I used my powers as Catwalker, I could provide the means of that escape.
Ladybug: Then that means...
Catwalker: I'm how he disappeared that night, yes.
Catwalker looks down towards Ladybug, the hand in front of him leaning on one of the barriers between them.
Ladybug: Do you know where he is now?  Please tell me that he's okay.
Catwalker: I'm sorry. I have every reason to think that he's still alive, but if he was dead, I wouldn't know.  He doesn't intend to approach me in the future.  And ever since that night...?  The only person who knows how to locate 'Adrien Agreste' is Adrien Agreste.
Mayura holds her fan in front of half her face, her other hand gesturing with palm faced upwards.
Mayura: You seem awfully concerned about Adrien, Ladybug.  You wouldn't happen to have ulterior motives for wanting to locate him, would you?
Ladybug waves her hands in the air in exasperation.
Ladybug: Are you kidding me? Oh right, every time I don't want someone to die it means I'm secretly in love with them!  That makes sense!
Veritruce gets in Ladybug’s face, eyebrows pointed down.  Ladybug covers her mouth sheepishly.
Veritruce: LIE DETECTED!
Mayura: Did I mention that sarcasm counts as lies?
Veritruce yeets Ladybug into the sky.  Catwalker reaches his hand uselessly toward her.
Veritruce: LIAR EJECTED!
Catwalker: Ladybug!

Part 11. The Confounding of Nathalie
<<First | <Previous | Next>
Description below the cut
Gabriel ominously pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose.  Behind him, Nathalie sits up in her bed.
Gabriel: I knew this was a bad idea.
Nathalie: It could have been worse.  At least Ladybug left me right outside the mansion and I didn't have to walk all the way back.
Gabriel: You still overexerted yourself.  Again.
Nathalie: Gabriel, I knew the risks.  It was more important that I find Adrien.
A close-up shot of the back of Nathalie’s head.
Nathalie (internally): Or at least that I found him before anyone else did.  The other akumas never would have held back when fighting against him. But I could.  And with the powers I'd received, I stood a far better chance to retrieve the black cat miraculous from Adrien.  How was I supposed to know that Adrien wouldn't be the one wielding it anymore?
Cut to Adrien’s bodyguard looking sad.
Gabriel (voiceover): I'm bringing back Gorizilla.  His nose should be more than capable of tracking Adrien down.
Cut to the image of Adrien falling from Tour Montparnasse.
Nathalie (voiceover): Isn't that dangerous?  Adrien jumped off a building to escape that akuma last time.
Cut back to Gabriel viewed from behind, hands clasped behind his back.
Gabriel: Gorizilla merely needs to carry Adrien back home.  I have no intention of putting my son at risk.
A close-up of Nathalie with a steely gaze, her fist resting on the side of her chin.
Nathalie (internally): You did so on a regular basis—and would still be doing so if Catwalker hadn’t stepped in for him.  It was pure serendipity that Ladybug vetoed keeping Chat Noir around.  Adrien—judging the note he left—had probably intended to be a hero full-time.  But now that Shadowmoth knows he can't be Chat Noir, he could come back home.  Adrien isn't the type of person who would leave behind all the friends he's made just because he might get targeted over a miraculous that he doesn’t even have anymore.
Cut to Shadowmoth with the light mask he uses to communicate with akumas illuminating his face.  In the background, a tablet on a call with Nathalie sits in a stand on a table.
Shadowmoth: What could be so difficult about tracking down one teenage boy?
Nathalie (over tablet): Sir?
Cut to Gorizilla looking frustrated.
Shadowmoth (voiceover): Gorizilla has tried to follow Adrien’s scent all over Paris and he can’t latch onto anything.
A close-up of Nathalie turning away and rubbing her chin in worry.
Nathalie (internally): Adrien left the city entirely?  Surely that's overkill.  The danger is gone.  Does Adrien really think that Shadowmoth would... no, not Shadowmoth.  Mayura.  I saw the look on his face when I almost crushed his... when I unmasked him. He was traumatized.  Maybe even enough for him to run away with no intention of ever coming back home.
Cut to a rooftop being traversed by Carapace, Purple Tigress, Viperion, Ryuko, King Monkey, Polymouse, Pegasus, Pigella, and Vesperia.  Ladybug is leading the charge in the foreground, swinging on her yo-yo.
Shadowmoth (voiceover): And oh look, Ladybug and her merry band of heroes have arrived to thwart me.  Gorizilla, go retrieve the miraculous from Ladybug and—wait, Catwalker isn't there?  Maybe Maternal Instinct scared him away?  Good riddance!  But we still need to find that ring!
A close-up of Nathalie covering her mouth in dismayed realization.
Nathalie (internally): I shouldn't have targeted Catwalker.  I let myself get lured in by the prospect of finally getting the cat miraculous.  But if Catwalker's identity leaked, what’s stopping Ladybug from bringing Chat Noir back regardless?  She still uses heroes she knows we know the identity of if she has no better options.  And if Ladybug asks Chat to return, he'll do so without question, despite what's happened.  I can't let Adrien endanger himself again.
Cut back to Shadowmoth facing towards the window of his lair.  He raises a fist in the air as his butterflies swarm around him.
Shadowmoth: Noooo!!!!!! You may have thrown a monkey wrench into this plan, Ladybug, but you haven’t taken your last whiff of me!  I have to go after Adrien myself.  It’s time for the Collector to return!
Nathalie (over tablet): Gabriel, let me akumatize you this time.  Adrien will be safer if you have someone watching over your shoulder to help.
Shadowmoth screeches while a white butterfly comes to land on his hand.  In the background, the tablet on the table shows the concerned face of Nathalie.
Shadowmoth: Absolutely not. Your body cannot handle more miraculous magic today—perhaps ever.  Your health is important.
Nathalie (over tablet): Your son is important.
Shadowmoth: I can handle my son.  The butterfly miraculous is mine and I will do whatever I see fit with it.
A close-up of Nathalie grabbing the sides of her head in a panic.
Nathalie (internally): This has spun completely out of my control.  Adrien, Gabriel, Catwalker... I can't sway any of them from the paths they've chosen.  And they never would have taken those paths if it weren't for the foolhardy things I did—as Mayura, as Nathalie, as Maternal Instinct.  I must find a way to stop all of this, but what can I actually do?  How do I know that whatever I try won't just make everything worse yet again?
Nathalie stares blankly into space.  She holds a tablet in her hands as a video from the local news loads.
Nadja Chamack (from video): Don't be bemused, it's just the news! I'm Nadja Chamack.  Just minutes after Gorizilla was defeated, we again are faced...
The tablet in Nathalie’s hands shows Nadia Chamack reporting live while the Collector poses menacingly in the background.
Nadja Chamack (from video): ...the Collector, also known as Gabriel Agreste, whose son Adrien Agreste is currently...
The video cuts to Catwalker and Ladybug descending from the sky to fight the akuma.
Nadja Chamack (from video): ...seems to be a new black cat superhero joining the fight.  We don't know who he is or...
A close-up of Nathalie leaning back in reprieve, her hand on her chest.
Nathalie (internally): Catwalker going missing was temporary.  Okay.  Good. I don't have to worry about Adrien getting his miraculous back, at least.  But what could have been important enough for Catwalker to miss an akuma? Maybe he was helping Adrien?  If he was, that would make Catwalker perhaps the only one who knows where Adrien is hiding.  If not, he's probably doing something on Ladybug's orders.  Either way, I need more information.  And this time, I must tread more carefully in how I go about getting it.

Part 16. Barriers for Communication (Veritruce, part A)
<<First | <Previous | Next>
Description below the cut
Atop the Agreste mansion, Mayura stands under a translucent magical cone, with a white prism floating just below the cone’s point.  In the foreground, Catwalker leaps towards Mayura, baton in hand.
Close-up Catwalker seething as he brandishes his baton.
Catwalker: Mayura! You need to answer for what you did to Chat Noir!
Catwalker hits his baton at the cone’s edge, but it merely sparks magical energy and remains intact.
Mayura smugly looks at him from behind her fan.
Mayura: Nice try, but that barrier is far more solid than it looks.
Catwalker raises his hand and summons black energy.
Catwalker: That won't stop me.  Cataclysm!
Ladybug dashes forward to catch up, yo-yo unfurled.
Ladybug: Catwalker, wait!
Catwalker’s hand makes contact with the barrier around Mayura and it is destroyed.
Ladybug: You can't face her alone!
Catwalker and Ladybug brandish their weapons and leap towards Mayura, who calmly looks upwards.
Mayura: Veritruce, forestall them.
Close-up of the white prism, otherwise known as the sentimonster “Veritruce”.
Veritruce: YES, MAYURA
Veritruce bursts with magical energy and recreates the conical barrier, this time with Catwalker and Ladybug partially trapped within the barrier itself.  Mayura takes the opportunity to disarm the two heroes.
Ladybug: No!
Catwalker: Ngh!
Ladybug and Catwalker are held suspended in the air by the barrier, most of their limbs stuck partially inside the barrier and partially outside.  Mayura throws the baton and yo-yo to the ground behind her.
Ladybug: Don't think you've won just because we can't move!  We won't let you take our miraculouses!
Mayura places a hand atop her fan in front of her with a ‘let’s get down to business’ look.
Mayura: I'm not after your miraculouses—not tonight.  All I want information.  Give me the information I want and we all will leave this place satisfied.
Catwalker looks incredulous and points a finger at Mayura.
Catwalker: You honestly expect us to believe that when you're the one who ambushed Chat Noir?
Mayura: No, but that's why I've brought Veritruce here tonight.
Mayura raises a hand and Veritruce comes down to her.
Mayura: It verifies truth and protects those who speak truthfully.  Those who lie will be dealt with accordingly.  Veritruce, verify.
Veritruce: VERIFIED: TRUTH
The shot zooms out to show more of the Agreste mansion exterior, with Veritruce’s magical cone on the flat part of the roof next to the central cupola.
Ladybug: Why should we tell you anything?
Mayura: Because my priorities have shifted.  Not enough to betray Shadowmoth, but he will not be learning anything of our meeting this night unless you tell him.
Ladybug angrily slaps the outside of the barrier with one hand and points at Mayura with the one that’s inside the barrier.
Mayura: Now, tell me: Why is Chat Noir still in hiding?
Ladybug: He’s obviously trying to stay away from you!
Cut to the back of Mayura as she holds out a hand palm faced upward.
Mayura: Why, though?  Chat Noir doesn’t pose a threat now that he doesn't have his miraculous.  If it’s retaliation he fears, he needn't worry: I have not told Shadowmoth his identity. And I don’t intend to tell him...
Mayura holds a hand with an air of menace towards Ladybug’s face, using her fan to hold Ladybug’s one free hand down.
Mayura: ...unless you force my hand by giving Chat Noir his miraculous—or any miraculous—ever again.  So I ask again: What is Chat Noir up to?
Close-up of Ladybug’s annoyed face speaking emphatically.
Ladybug: I have no idea.  He didn’t come back after you ambushed him and we haven’t been in contact.  I still don’t even know who he really is behind the mask.  So don't even think that you'll be able to get to him through me!
Mayura turns to point at Catwalker, whose fists clench up as Veritruce looms in to glare at him.
Mayura: And what of you, Catwalker?  Can you honestly claim to be ignorant of Chat Noir’s activities?
Catwalker looks away and remains pointedly silent while Mayura’s accusing finger points right at him.
Mayura: He's the one who told you about me, wasn't he?  And as the last person who saw him, he would have informed you of all of his plans.  Surely you found out his identity, at least?
Catwalker grits his teeth and looks Mayura square in the eye.
Catwalker: The identity of the person who wielded the black cat miraculous before me… is known to me.

Part 15. A Reluctance to Speak Up
<<First | <Previous | Next>
Description below the cut
Luka places the snake miraculous in Ladybug’s outstretched hand so she can put it back in her yo-yo.
Ladybug: Thanks again for your help, Luka.
Luka: Do we need to find a new meeting spot now that Catwalker stumbled on this one?
Ladybug: Probably, but we can worry about that after we find Adrien.
Ladybug starts to head towards the ladder out of the sewers when Luka holds up his hand towards her.
Ladybug: Speaking of, I need to get back to the search!  Bug ou—
Luka: Ladybug, wait.  There's something...
Ladybug brings her clenched fists together as she smiles in overeager excitement.
Ladybug: You have a lead on where to look for Adrien?
Luka: Not exactly. More of a question.
Ladybug slumps, deflated.
Ladybug: Oh.
Luka: You still haven't learned Chat Noir's identity, right?
Ladybug: No.  Catwalker never found out.
Luka raises a questioning finger.
Luka: Hold on, did he actually say that?  Or are you just assuming that he doesn't know?
Luka pinches his brow with a pained expression.
Ladybug: Did Catwalker tell you that he does know Chat's identity?
Luka (internally): Ngh, I should've just kept quiet...
Luka (aloud): No, Catwalker never mentioned anything about knowing who Chat is.
Cut to a flashback of Catwalker looking almost pointedly towards Carapace with Viperion looking on.
Luka (voiceover): But something he said earlier...
Catwalker (flashback only): Does Adrien even want to be found?
Luka (voiceover): It'd make a lot of sense if Catwalker knew something big that he wasn't telling anyone.
Cut back to Luka looking at his hands uncertainly.
Luka: I don't know if I was just hearing overtones that aren't really there.  And even if I did hear right, I don't know how much Catwalker actually knows about Chat Noir or whatever huge secret he isn't talking about.
Ladybug talks with her hands.
Ladybug: But why wouldn't he say anything?  I need as much information as I can get about... anyone Shadowmoth might go after!  Can I really make the right decisions if Catwalker is holding out on me?
Luka looks away as if he’s speaking only to himself.
Luka: Maybe he thinks Chat will be better protected if no one knows he's even keeping a secret. Or maybe he doesn't want to poke his nose into something that should be between you and Chat.  Or maybe he senses he's missing critical context about the situation and thinks that speaking up with incomplete knowledge could cause more harm than good.
Luka places an encouraging hand on Ladybug’s shoulder.  Ladybug frowns.
Luka: You won't know for sure unless you ask Catwalker why he's keeping quiet.  But I think that, unless it will endanger Chat Noir if his identity is known..., you should try to find out who your partner has been all this time.
Cut to nighttime with Ladybug leaning on a railing overlooking the city.  Catwalker lands behind her, staff in hand.
Catwalker: Sorry I'm late, I got held up with a friend.  Ready to patrol?
Ladybug turns her head towards Catwalker, who stands behind her with a formal posture.
Ladybug: I don't suppose you found a lead on Adrien Agreste?
Catwalker: I have witnessed the efforts of Adrien's father, his friends, our teammates, Paris police, and other interested parties pursuing the truth of the boy's disappearance. And none of them seem to have any idea of where he might have gone or why he vanished.
Ladybug turns back to looking down at the city below.
Ladybug: Yeah, I guess I wasn't expecting any different.  I've done hardly anything besides look for him and fight akumas looking for him.  And I'm no closer to bringing him home.
Catwalker holds up a hand to offer a friendly suggestion.
Catwalker: You've done a lot, Ladybug.  If it would take some of the load off your mind, you can skip patrol for tonight.  But if you'd like to talk about anything, I'd be happy to stay and listen.
Ladybug holds her hands up towards Catwalker beseechingly.  Catwalker straightens, clutching his baton uneasily behind his back.
Ladybug: Can you tell me anything more about Chat Noir?
Catwalker: Chat Noir? What about him?
Ladybug: You never told me what he did after he gave up his miraculous.
Ladybug holds up an accusatory finger with an apprehensive expression on her face.
Catwalker: I told you he was in hiding.  He's safe there, I promise.
Ladybug: But I was talking to one of the other heroes earlier, and they thought that... you knew something important about Chat that you haven't been telling me.
Catwalker folds his arms and leans on the railing and looks out at the city instead of at Ladybug, who leans away from the railing to look at him.
Catwalker: Is it really that surprising that I'd be keeping secrets from you?  We're superheroes and anything could lead to another identity exposure. You didn't even consider asking me who Chat Noir was after I regained his miraculous.
Cut to a view of the Paris skyline.  In the background, there is a cone of purple pulsating with energy on the Agreste rooftop.
Ladybug: You know who Chat Noir really is?
Catwalker leaps off the railing while Ladybug reaches her hand out towards him.
Ladybug: Catwalker, wait! Where are you...?
Ladybug notices something with a look of dawning horror.  The purple cone pulsing with energy has Mayura standing under it.
Ladybug: Hold on... is that...?  Mayura??
A closeup of Mayura holding her fan in front of her face while gesturing her free hand towards a floating white prism with purple eyes.
Ladybug: What's she doing out here?

Part 7. Those Who Love You (Maternal Instinct, part B)
<<First | <Previous | Next>
Description below the cut
Maternal Instinct (akumatized!Nathalie Sancouer) is outside Nino's with the Shadowmoth's communication light framing her face.  In the background, Nino is watching her through a window, magically stuck to his mom (who is conveniently blocked from view since I have no idea what she’s supposed to look like).
Maternal Instinct: No sign of Adrien at Mr. Lahiffe's.
Shadowmoth (over akuma connection): Keep looking.  I can't have Adrien vanishing on me.
Maternal Instinct: You saw Chat Noir was replaced, correct?
Cut to Shadowmoth communicating from his lair.
Shadowmoth: Yes, I've seen "Catwalker."
Maternal Instinct (over akuma connection): You recognize him?
Shadowmoth: He fought a late-night sentimonster a couple weeks ago.  I thought he was temporary.
Cut back to Maternal Instinct, holding the akumatized phone in contemplation.
Shadowmoth: And I'm not sure why Ladybug delayed attacking you just to introduce him to us again.
Maternal Instinct: Regardless, it seems that Chat Noir will no longer be of any concern to you...
Maternal Instinct's attention catches on a boy with a familiar white shirt and jeans disappearing behind a building.
Maternal Instinct: Wait... Adrien?  Is that you?
Maternal Instinct points her phone at a the boy, but the magical tendrils fizzle out on contact.
Maternal Instinct: Come to your non-biological maternal guardian!
The boy--Wayhem--turns towards Maternal Instinct with a sheepish grin.  Maternal Instinct facepalms as she sends out the magical tendrils again, this time teleporting him away.
Maternal Instinct: Oh, you’re that stalker of Adrien’s... Go home to your mother!
Maternal Instinct looks at Wayhem's image on the phone, as it's been added to the phone's memory.
Maternal Instinct: I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check his home too...
Maternal Instinct teleports away just as Ladybug and Catwalker leap in to catch up with her.
Ladybug looks annoyed as she retracts her yo-yo.
Ladybug: We need a new plan. We can't keep chasing this akuma if she's just going to keep teleporting away.
Catwalker puts an earpiece in his ear.
Catwalker: That Nino kid might know something about who the akuma is and who she's looking for.  If you talk to him, I'll do a lap around Paris and contact you over our earpieces if I spot the akuma.
Ladybug hangs from her yo-yo as she talks to Nino outside his window.
Ladybug: Hey Nino, have any idea why the akuma went after you?
Nino: She's Nathalie Sancouer and she… I think she’s hunting down Adrien Agreste.
Ladybug's eyes go wide in shock, and she grabs at her yo-yo as it frazzles.
Ladybug: Adrien?? What happened to him?
Nino looks away tearfully.
Nino: I… I don't know. But I'm worried he won't come home.
Ladybug forces a smile to her face as she grips the windowsill to keep from falling.
Ladybug: It’ll be fine! I’ll go make sure he comes home safe and sound!
Ladybug swings away, still stiffly fake, and Nino watches her leave.
Ladybug: Can’t let another amazing blond boy disappear on me, can I?
Cut to Ladybug crouched in an alley, hands covering her face.
Catwalker (over comm): Ladybug, are you…
Ladybug touches her earpiece.  Tears are clearly flowing freely now but she still tries to smile, even if it completely fails.
Ladybug: I’m fine! Just need to find Adrien and make sure he’s safe!
Cut to Catwalker looking off to the side as he touches his own earpiece.
Catwalker: I’m sure he’s alright.  No sign of the akuma yet, so what's our next move?
Cut back to Ladybug (still crying) closes her eyes and tries to think, placing her hands together up against her nose with her thumbs below her jaw.
Ladybug: She's going after anyone friendly with Adrien, no matter how close they are.
A large group shot including: Marinette, Alya, Nino, Adrien, Kagami, Luka, Juleka, Rose, Alix, Kim, Markov, Max, Ivan, Mylene, Nathaniel, Marc, Sabrina, Zoe, and Chloe.  Catwalker looks off to the side as a tear streams down his face.
Ladybug (over comm): The problem is that Adrien has too many friends now.  Not that it isn't wonderful that he's been able to make so many friends! It's just going to take forever to narrow them all down...
Catwalker: He sounds very... loved.
Ladybug (over comm): He is.
Catwalker: Let's focus on the akuma for now. Maybe your power can give us a lead?
Cut to Ladybug summoning her lucky charm.  It's a red and black bobbin with red thread.
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! A bobbin?
Catwalker's expression instantly alights as he realizes who the lucky charm is referring to.
Catwalker: It’s Mar—I mean, does Adrien have any friends who are into sewing?
A close-up of Marinette.
Ladybug: Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Ladybug holds the bobbin in one hand and grabs at her head with the other.
Ladybug: But I have no idea how I’d involve her with beating this akuma!
Catwalker is already on his way to Marinette's, just propelling himself with his stick across the street towards her rooftop.
Catwalker: Let's just meet at her place and go from there.
Ladybug: Okay.  See you at 12 Rue Gotlib.
Catwalker knocks on Marinette's trapdoor.
Catwalker: Marinette Dupain-Cheng?  Are you home?
Maternal Instinct sends out her magical tendrils and Catwalker leaps out of the way.
Maternal Instinct: You'll go home... to your mother!
Catwalker brandishes his staff as Maternal Instinct rushes towards him.
Catwalker: Sending me home to mother seems quite presumptuous of you.  What if she died?  What if I left my home behind?
Maternal Instinct comes in closer, her phone starting to send out more magical tendrils.
Catwalker: You can't just assume that sending a kid home is the best thing for them!
Maternal Instinct: Then let's test it, shall we?  If your mother loves you, then go to her now!
Catwalker uses his staff to yeet the phone into the sky, but light is already emitting down from it.
Cut to Ladybug surging forward, throwing her yo-yo towards the phone.
Ladybug: No!
Cut to Catwalker gritting his teeth as the light hits him and he is teleported away.
Close up of Ladybug’s face as she yells.
Ladybug: Catwalker!
Cut to Emilie's stasis pod. It's closed, but light is emitting through the cracks.
A shot of Catwalker teleporting into Emilie's arms, magical tendrils binding them together.
Catwalker looks down at Emilie's serene face in utter shock.
Catwalker: Mother?

Part 5. Leaving Out Important Details
<<First | <Previous | Next>
Description below the cut
Gabriel is in his atelier looking at an Adrien SPORTS ad on his computer when Nathalie enters, clutching at the door.
Nathalie: Sir, Adrien has run away from home.
Gabriel: Why would Adrien do such a thing? Are you sure he didn't merely sneak out to be with those friends of his?
Flashback of Nathalie holding Adrien's phone, which reads "welcome to your new phone! set up >". Adrien's ID is off to the side.
Nathalie (voiceover): He left his ID behind and reset his phone to its factory settings.
Flashback continues. A shot of Nathalie from behind as she finds the note Adrien left in his room in Part 2.
Gabriel (voiceover): There has to be more evidence than that. You searched his room and didn't find anything?
Flashback continues. Nathalie holds up the Adrien's note. It reads:
"Father,
"Shadowmoth is going to target me with a vengeance. I know you’ll want to use that as an excuse to lock me in my room until I die, but even our security system can't stop supervillains. The only way to escape is to ensure that no one can find me. I can’t tell you where I'm going, but I should be safer there.
"Give my love to Nathalie and the Gorilla for always being there when I needed it.
"Adrien"
Flashback ends. Close-up of Nathalie avoiding Gabriel's gaze.
Nathalie: No, sir. There was nothing else.
Close-up of Gabriel taking off his tie.
Gabriel: I'm going to need an akuma to go after him.
Nathalie leans on her desk, back turned toward her boss, with a calculating look in her eye. Gabriel looks on in the background, standing near the portrait of his wife.
Nathalie: You can feel my protective instinct for Adrien boiling up inside me, can’t you? Akumatize me.
Gabriel helps Nathalie sit in her chair.
Gabriel: Are you sure? You over-strained yourself as Mayura yesterday. Technology and magic can only stabilize you so much.
Nathalie: You can give me a sentimonster to compensate. I need to do this for Adrien.
Gabriel transforms into Shadowmoth.
Gabriel: Your dedication always astounds me, Nathalie. Very well. Nooroo, Duusu, dual metamorphosis!
Shadowmoth's hands are outstretched with an akuma and an amok approaching Adrien's phone.
Shadowmoth: Maternal Instinct, I'm giving you the ability to return children to the loving arms of their guardians to never be lost again. I am also giving you the sentimonster Mothership, which will allow you to follow any who are affected by your power.
Close-up of Nathalie with Shadowmoth's communication light hovering in front of her face.
Nathalie: I will ensure Adrien's safety from any who would do him harm, Shadowmoth.
Nathalie is engulfed in the black-purple ether of akumatization.
The akuma, Maternal Instinct, is a figure in black and white with lines of yellow, green, and purple tracing her body. She wears a visor, wears her hair in a red fading to yellow motherly side plait, carries Adrien's phone in her right hand. The lower half of her body is encapsulated by her sentimonster, Mothership, which is a miniature flying saucer floating in the air decorated similarly to Maternal Instinct's outfit.
Shadowmoth: Start with Adrien's friends. They're probably hiding him somewhere…

Part 3. The Woes of Nathalie
<<First | <Previous | Next>
Description below the cut
Shot of Mayura lying on the ground, hand clenched.
Hawkmoth (through communicator): Mayura, status update. Mayura? Mayura!
Hawkmoth carries Mayura to Nathalie's bed.
Hawkmoth: I knew letting you use the peacock miraculous was a bad idea... I'm taking it back now. Please rest.
Nathalie (voiceover): I was this close.
Mayura's hand tries to hold onto Chat Noir's staff as it disintegrates during his detransformation.
Nathalie (voiceover): If his staff hadn't disintegrated beneath my fingers...
Mayura falls aside as Plagg helps Adrien to escape.
Nathalie (voiceover): ...if my enhanced strength hadn't failed so quickly...
Cut to Nathalie sitting in bed, angrily grabbing at the blankets.
Nathalie (voiceover): ...I would have been this close...
Shot of Adrien dead, throat crushed.
Nathalie (voiceover): ...to killing Adrien.
Shot of Adrien looking up wide-eyed as Mayura holds Chat's staff above him.
Nathalie (voiceover): What would I have done if I'd actually succeeded?
Shot of Chat Noir getting disintegrated by a flash of green and white.
Nathalie (voiceover): How many times have we killed him?
Shot of a distressed Ladybug next to a dead Adrien as she tries and fails to summon a lucky charm.
Nathalie (voiceover): What will I do if Ladybug ever fails to bring him back?
Nathalie looks down at her hand in guilt.
Nathalie (voiceover): And now that I know it's him...can I even keep going through with this?
Shot of Gabriel with his hands behind his back, looking away.
Nathalie (voiceover): Gabriel wouldn't understand. He never takes Adrien's defiance well. And Chat Noir would be the ultimate betrayal in his eyes.
Shot of Emilie's statue.
Nathalie (voiceover): But I don't think I can go against him. I pledged myself long ago to help Gabriel in any way I could.
Shot of the painting of Gabriel and Adrien in mourning.
Nathalie (voiceover): And I still want to help him. I still want to help both of them.
Shot of Shadowmoth standing between Emile in her stasis pod and Adrien in a casket.
Nathalie (voiceover): Could I protect Gabriel from having to choose between his wife and his son?
Shot of Adrien happily throwing up peace signs as he is halfway between transforming into Chat Noir.
Nathalie (voiceover): If Gabriel never learns Adrien's secret identity... If Chat Noir never comes to serious harm again...
Shot of Shadowmoth and Chat Noir rushing towards each other, Shadowmoth with cane raised above his head and Chat reaching forward with his Cataclysm.
Nathalie (voiceover): Maybe their confrontation is inevitable...but I won't be able to live with myself if I don't try to avert it.
