Recap:

Alix: Now that that's all done-

She takes a noise maker from Max and blows it.

Alix: Thanks Max! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Max: This was not needed-

Alix/Chloe/Kagami: Yes it was!

Max: Ok, ok!

Present:

Luke: Ok, so, to answer the questions, you'll need to "buzz in". To do so, you need to press these buzz buttons Max has so graciously made all of you.

He passes out all the buzzers and goes back to standing with the rest of the crowd.

Nathaniel: Arcs! Are you ready!?

Kacey looks at Nathaniel with a sceptical expression and hesitantly agrees.

Kacey: ...Yeah...!?

Nathaniel: That's good enough! Agreste, are you ready?

Adrien: Hell yeah!

Marc: Watch your mouth, there are kids here!

Adrien: S-sorry...

Marc: You will be- Hey!

Nathaniel takes his hand and drags him to make him sit with everyone else in the grass.

Nathaniel: Carry on!

Jason: Ok! Everyone got all the rules?

Everyone nods their heads.

Jason: Alright! Luke, you now have the floor.

Luke: Thank you, Jason. These were all questions I've asked them in the past and now you have the chance to see if you really know them or not. Agreste your team's name will be TS (Treacherous Snakes) and Arcs your name will be MH (Marinette's Heroes) Here we go!

He goes and sits infront of all the "contestants" while they all sit Indian style on the ground.

Luke: Question number 1: What are Marinette's pronouns?

Alya buzzes in confidently.

Luke: Cesaire?

Alya: She/Her!

Luke: Sorry (not sorry), but that is incorrect.

Chloe is the next to buzz in.

Luke: Bourgeois?

Chloe: They/Them!

Luke: That is correct! 100 point to MH!

Alya: WHAT!? SHE NEVER TOLD ME-

Marinette: Yes, yes I did. You just weren't listening!

Luke: Question 2: What is Marinette's favorite type of flower(s)?

Adrien buzzes in and confidently says:

Adrien: Daisies!

Kacey: Did we not just go over-

Marinette: Let it go, Kacey! It's not worth it!

Kacey: *Sigh* Ok, ok!

Luke: Sorry, that's incorrect.

Lila is the next to buzz in.

Luke: Rossi?

Lila: Although she loves Bluebells, her next favorite would have to be Lilacs given the fact it's the only other flower she isn't allergic to.

Luke: Correct! TS this isn't looking to be an easy game for you.

Alya: We will win, and Marinette will go on a date with Adrien!

Marinette: I won't either way, but I'll let you think that!

Mrs. Arcs: Quiet and watch, Mija.

Marinette: Sí, sí! Lo siento!

Luke: Question 3: What is Marinette's favorite song?

Sabrina buzzes in and Luke sighs in his mind reluctantly giving her confirmation to speak.

Luke: Nerdy McBookworm?

Sabrina: Any song written by Jagged Stone!

Everyone in the MPS burst into laughter and start rolling around in the grass while Nino, Kacey, Chloe and Lila keep their composure.

Luke: That- HAHAHAHA- Ahem That is incorrect, sorry.

Nino buzzes in.

Luke: Nino?

Nino: Just an FYI: She has a playlist of American artists. Money Machine by 100 Gecs!

Jason: Tell me what's the deal, I've been trying to go to bed

I've been up for days, I've been tryna get ahead

Said it all before, and I'll say it once again-

Chloe: I'm better off alone

Tell me what's the deal, I've been trying to go to bed

I've been up for days, I've been tryna get ahead

Said it all before, and I'll say it once again

I'm better off alone

Marinette: I see you two! Get into it!

Luke: Can we get a little less commentary from the peanut gallery?

Marinette: Sorry, force of habit!

Luke: It's good! Ok, question 4: How long...

He looks at the card and swallows the lump in his throat.

Luke: H-How long...

Kacey: Dude, you good?

Luke: U-uhm- M-Marr, can you- Can you c'mere for a minute?

Marinette: Ok?

They get up and walk towards Luke, who has a worried look on his face.

Luke: That contract is binding y'know.

Marinette: I know?

Luke: Look at the question.

They look at the question and their face goes red.

Marinette: WHAT!? KAGAMI YOU SAID YOU'D TAKE THAT ONE OUT!

Kagami: Hold on!

She gets up and goes to stand next to Luke and Marinette. She reads the question and immediately starts laughing.

Kagami: M-Mari, you g-gotta u-understand! I-I'm just t-trying to g-give you a push in- in the right direction!

Marinette: The right direction!? This is the WRONG direction! This is the wrong way entirely!

Kagami: Do it, Lucus!

Marinette: Luke, I will lose all respect for you if you do this!

Luke: I do not care. Plus, Model boy needs to hear this one anyway!

Marinette: Luke-

Luke: How long has Marinette Dupain-Cheng had a crush on Kacey Arcs and how long has said crush lasted so far?

Marinette: So our friendship was a lie!?

Chloe buzzes in confidently waiting for her time to expose Marinette.

Luke: Ms. Bourgeois!

Chloe: Mari's had a crush on Kacey for 2 years, 8 months, 1 week, and 3 days!

Marinette: So specific and for what!?

Kacey: I stay winning!

Marinette: Shut up!

Alya: MARINETTE! YOU CAN'T JUST GO LYING JUST TO MAKE ADRIEN JEALOUS!

They start stomping toward Alya with a look that could kill Hawkmoth where he stands.

Marinette: Escucha, pequeña punta-

(Listen here, you little bitch-)

Kacey steps in front of them and starts pushing them to where they were sitting before.

Kacey: How about we all just calm down a little?

He glares at Alya and she sends one back in return.

Rose: Marinette, can't you just give Adrien-

Alix jumps up and starts walking down the hill.

Alix: If you tell them to give that traitor a chance, I'm gonna find every unicorn you own and chop their heads off!

Max: Alright, Fiesty McChops, let's settle down a little.

He stops her while glaring at Rose. Everyone goes quiet looking at Marinette who is chuckling to themself.

Marinette: You wanna know why I chose to go live in the U.S? It's because for 4 fucking years- an experiment that was only supposed to last 4 months, lasted 4 years! For 4 years I've been belittled by the 5 of you and everyone I walk by! Do you know how many times I've tried to off myself? How many times I thought of just taking a knife from the drawer while I'm cutting something to just slit my fucking throat?

Everyone looks at them while they keep making their advancement to the quivering quad of manipulated idiots.

Marinette: I've even tried pills, but Everytime I'm about to, I can't! You wanna know why?

Nobody answers her until Sabrina decides to ask.

Sabrina: W-why?

Marinette: Because, I plan to be a symbol to everyone who loses hope everyday because of people like you! People who think if they do nothing, everything will be ok!

They send a death glare in Adrien's direction.

Marinette: People who are biased, and will immediately toss out the old gem for something new and shiny!

She glares at Alya not even caring that tears are falling down their face.

Marinette: Hell! My own fucking parents disowned me! Thank goodness for Audry Bourgeois! I am now legally Chlo's adoptive sister! I wish I could say "Fuck you 5!" But I can't because Mylene was to much of a pussy to show! But my sentiment still stands!

[Somewhere in Hawkmoth's lair]

Hawkmoth: Natalie, I need to become stronger! So many emotions! So many new people to form into my new army of Akumatized worriers!

Nathalie: Of course, Gabriel, whatever you need.

He evilizes the butterfly and hold it in his hand. Nathalie steps forward and hold out her tablet. Hawkmoth places the butterfly on the tablet.

Hawkmoth: Catalyst, I am giving you the power to boots others powers.

She transforms into Catalyst and Hawkmoth holds out his staff for her to take. She takes his staff and starts boosting his powers.

Catalyst: Hawkmoth, I am giving you the power to Akumatize people willing or not. To give them power, no matter what limitations stand in the way. From here on you shall permanently be known as, Midnight Moth!

He transforms into Midnight Moth and does his signature evil laugh.

Midnight Moth: Thank you, Nathalie.

He grabs the butterfly and evilizes it until it turns into a jet black raven.

Midnight Moth: Go forth my little Raven, and taint this girl's pure soul!

The raven flies out the window and starts flying to where the group of citizens is located.

[Back at the park]

Kacey: Let's all take some deep breaths-

Marinette: FUCK YOUR DEEP BREATHS!

Chloe: Is that a Raven up there?

Everyone looks up at the sky and sees a jet black Raven flying straight toward Marinette.

Lila: Marinette, get down!

Marinette: It's just a Raven, what harm can It- AHH!

The Raven flies into their chest and they fall to the ground clutching their chest in pain.

Marinette: What's...happening...?

Midnight Moth: Lady Chaos, I am Midnight Moth.

Marinette: N-NO!

A black butterfly silhouette outlines Marinette's face. They take their earrings out and her purse off and toss them to Kacey, who catches them.

Kacey: Marinette, don't do this!

Marinette: You know the plan!

Midnight Moth: Everyone who you thought was your friend betrayed you for a Fox who told tall tales. I'm giving you the endless power you deserve. All you have to do is-

Marinette: Yeah, yeah, I know that drill! Just gear me up Hawks!

Midnight Moth: Excellent!

Everyone watches as their transformed into a demon like Akuma.

Adrien: M-Marinette?

Lady Chaos: Name's Lady Chaos, Blondie, don't get it twisted! Bye now~

They leap off and everyone starts panicking.

Kacey: Shit, shit, shit! This ain't good! I'm not ready for this-

Jason goes and slaps him across the face.

Kacey: Hey!

Jason: Not my fault you were spiraling! They trust you to get the damn job done, now do it right!

Kacey: Y-yeah, get it done!

Clara starts tugging on Kacey's jacket.

Clara: Kacey?

Kacey: Yeah, Lara?

Clara: Is Mari part of the bad guys now?

Kacey: Well, yeah, but not for long c-cause...

He tries to think of an excuse, but can't find one.

Jason: 'Cause your big bro is gonna bring her back and she's gonna be safe!

Luke: Yeah, he's got this done!

Kacey: Yeah, all that and stuff!

Clara looks at him in admiration.

Clara: You're so cool big bro!

Kacey: Y-yeah...really cool...

Kim: So, what's the plan?

Jason: We gotta relocate.

He glances over at the group and everyone gets up and starts leaving.

Adrien: Hey, she's our friend too! Why can't we help!?

Jason: Because you've helped enough! Now buzz the fuck off!

They reach the hotel after a while and all sit in the empty lounge while Kacey explains the plan.

Kacey: Ok, so, Luke your my right hand man, so your gonna need these!

He tosses him the Ladybug earrings. Tikki flies around while he puts the ring on and Plagg starts flying around with her.

Plagg: What's up, Lover boy? You got any-

Before Plagg can finish his sentence, Kacey pulls out 1/4 of a Camembert cheese wheel and 2 macaroons for Tikki.

Kacey: Eat up so we can gear up.

Plagg: I like you!

Tikki: Thank you!

Kacey: Back to me. Chloe, Nino, Kagami, Max, Kim, Lila, Alix and Luka, you three are the most critical to the plan. Y'know? Restrain, paralyze, go back in time incase things don't work out, illusions, diversions, negotiations, the works. Everyone else, you will be working on evacuation, Med Bay, treating wounds, ect. You got me?

Everyone: Yeah!

Kacey: I don't need to repeat anything?

Kagami: Nope!

Kacey: Great- how do we get her back anyway, Tikki?

Tikki swallows her cookie and starts explaining.

Tikki: This has only happened once before, but if I'm sure you have two options. You can either one: Purify her by using your power of healing, converting it to your right hand and placing it over her heart since that's where the Ravenaku- the Raven formed Akuma, but much more powerful is or...

Nino: Or?

Tikki starts snickering while Plagg has a full on laugh fest.

Plagg: Don't do this to the man! He isn't ready!

Tikki: He needs the other option in case the first one doesn't work out!

Kacey: Tikki, or what?

Tikki: Or you could kiss her and break the spell!

Mrs. Storm: Like a true love's kiss awww!

Kacey: No, no "Awww".

Jason: Man's got cold feet!

Kacey: That's exactly why! This was not how things were supposed to go!

Jason: Does that mean we helped you set up that she thing on the Eiffel Tower for nothing?

Kacey: I think so...yeah?

Jason: No. This will not go to waste! You're getting your soon-to-be girlfriend back and you not being ready to kiss her isn't an option! I didn't get up from my comfortable ass nap, for my efforts of helping you- not that it was in any way beneficial to me in any way- to go to waste! You will dance with her on that elongated ass pyramid and you're both gonna like it, whether you like it or not!

Kacey: Ok, ok! There is no need to have a fucking cow!

Chloe: Watch y'all's language! We don't need you corrupting the kids!

A loud eruption grabs everyone's attention and they all run outside and see Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng running out of their collapsing bakery.

They all look and see Marinette laughing while causing more explosions in random places across Paris.

Kacey: Y'all two digest the snacks yet?

Plagg: Yeah!

Tikki: Yeah, now let's go!

They all go back inside and transform into their superhero alter egos. Everyone, minus the civilians, run out of the hotel. While the critical group of the plan start leaping off to find an Akumatized Marinette, the others stay behind to set up Medical tents and evacuate citizens.

Bunnix: What do we do once we actually find Marinette?

Mr. Bug: Once we find them, Viperion's gonna bind their hands with his Harp, then me and Queen Bee are gonna capture them with our Yo-yo and top.

Chat de Bleu: I'll use my Cataclysm if necessary. Same with Mr. Bug's Lucky Charm, only for emergencies if the plan goes south.

Mr. Bug: Vixen's gonna make some illusions to throw her off and King Money's gonna disrupt their powers and confuse them, then we go in with the drop!

Vixen: Why do you sound so excited about that?

Mr. Bug: 'Cause I am!

They follow the sound of car alarms, beeping cars in the street, and traffic lights until they get to Marinette who is making more buildings randomly explode.

Ryuko: We definitely won't find them now.

Pegasus: Not the time, Ryuko!

Ryuko: Well, SORRY for trying to lighten the mood a little!

Carapace: Can you two save your arguing for later? Preferably AFTER we de-akumatized Mari?

Pegasus: Whatever.

Ryuko: (Scoffs) Fine.

Carapace: Thank you.

They land on top of a sturdy building waiting for the go ahead from Kacey. While everyone is waiting Marinette continues to destroy most of Paris.

Chat de Bleu: King Money, Viperion go!

King Money: I love a little chaos, but only when I'm the one that causes it!

He leaps toward them making them sees different spots and they can't point out everyone's exact location.

Lady Chaos: Get off me you exotic tropical attractions! I don't need your help or pity!

Chat de Bleu: It's not pity- AHH!

He reaches a hand out but quickly retracts it when they try to bite him.

Lady Chaos: Keep your hands off of me you mangy replacement!

Chat de Bleu: Me-OW, some lady woke up on the wrong side of the litter box!

Carapace: Go home right the fuck now. You can leave.

Queen Bee: We don't need you. Go take a fucking nap.

Chat de Bleu: Y'all all some disrespectful fuckers! All I did was make 1 or 2 puns!

Bunnix: Which weren't needed!

Chat de Bleu: Sh-shut the hell up!

Lady Chaos: Yeah, get sidetracked, it's not like I'm here or anything!

Chat de Bleu: R-right...hehe...

He sits behind them and pull them into his lap, placing his right hand over their heart. They start squirming, trying to get out of his hold, but he holds them tighter and starts the purifying process.

They scream in agony as the Raven slowly leaves her body and starts turning into a white dove. The miraculous team stare in awe as a white and pink light surrounds the both of them.

The light continues to get brighter until the Raven is gone completely. The light fades and Kacey lays Marinette on their back to make sure they're alright.

Chat de Bleu: Did it work? Are you alright? Say something!

They sit up groaning and look around at all the miraculous heroes giving her sceptical looks.

Marinette: I knew you'd pull it off, Arcs!

Everyone cheers and surrounds them in a group hug.

Marinette: Guys...can't...b-breathe!

They all quickly let them go and they gasp for air.

Marinette: Thank...you...

Carapace: Sure thing, Dudette!

Marinette: Arcs, I thought you didn't do hugs.
