PART 1: TERROR”

Her final day has come. If Chrysalis doesn’t win today, there will
be no point in attacking Paris anymore – her time is counted. With
the objective to defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir, she creates Terror,
the most powerful senti monster yet.

LILA
This is my final plan. If I don't manage to
seize the miraculous of Ladybug and
Cat Noir today, I won't be able to
deliver my mother anymore.
DUSSU
Master, your backstory breaks my heart,
but…
LILA
Be quiet Dussu.
Dussu, guilty, looks down. Lila sheds a tear, and wipes it.
LILA
Alex is a traitor… He promised me
I had an unlimited amount to save my
mother, but of course he lied.
DUSSU
Boohoohoo! This is so sad!
LILA (CONT’D)
I’ll save her today, at what it costs.
Nooroo, Dussu, metamorphosis!
PHASYLIS
Hello, Terror. From now on, you’ll obey
to all of my orders.
TERROR
I’m ready to serve, Mrs. Chrysalis.
ALEX
AMBER
My daughter is smart… …
BACK to Amber’s close-up. She looks up, and perceives Alex. (She
coughs)
AMBER (CONT’D)
Even if she chose to join the force of
evil to save me, she will obtain the Miraculous…
ALEX
And what makes you think that?
AMBER
She’s my daughter. I know her determination.
She’ll make it, Alex. The jail…
AMBER (CONT’D)
…will soon be your new home.
PHASYLIS (CONT’D)
Are you ready?
TERROR
Yes, Mrs. Chrysalis.
PHASYLIS
Go destroy Paris and spread
hopelessness!
PHASYLIS (CONT’D)
Voyage!
MARINETTE
Tikki… I lost the Miraculous two times. Everyone is
leaving me, I am so alone…
SU-HAN
You’re right. You’re the worst guardian I've
ever met, but it’s not entirely your fault.
Fu should have chosen a mature adult for this
responsibility. Marinette, renounce
your role of guardian.
MARINETTE
I can’t do this. If I renounce this role,
all of my memories will be erased
just like Master Fu!
SU-HAN
But isn’t that what you want? To finally be
able to become a normal teenager?
You should’ve accepted to be trained
in Tibet, Marinette.
MARINETTE
If I accepted your offer, who would protect Paris? I
can’t put the security of Parisians at risk,
especially the ones i love!
SU-HAN
I was the previous guardian of the mother box, I know how
to use your miraculous.
MARINETTE
Enough, Su-Han. If you think you’re helping me
by hating, you’re completely wrong. Now, get out
of my roo-
They get interrupted by Terror, and take a look at the window. They
see him.
MARINETTE
We’ll discuss it later, Su-Han. I have
to transform, Tikki, spots on!
SU-HAN
Either you’ll save the day or not, i’ll have to
take back your Miraculous after the fight.
MARINETTE
You know what? I don’t care anymore.
I have nothing to lose, after all.
ADRIEN
We keep failing to put the security of
parisians safe, all of this because of Ladybug.
I’m tired of fighting with someone who doesn’t
listen to me!
PLAGG
Adrien, Ladybug and you are a duo. Even if
you’re mad at her, you must fight alongside,
if you want to protect the ones you love.
ADRIEN
Plagg, claws out!
LADYBUG
Hey Cat Noir! Can we please defeat
this villain quickly, I have personal stuff
to do!
CAT NOIR
Personal stuff? Why can’t you focus on your duty instead of-
Terror attempts to attack Ladybug with his arm, but Cat Noir saves
him.
LADYBUG
Are you mad at me?
CAT NOIR
Of course I am! We keep failing to put the citizens
safe, and all of this because of you! If they can’t
LADYBUG
I see. I’m sorry Cat Noir. I tried, but Chrysalis
seems stronger than Monarch…
CAT NOIR
Pff!
Terror attempts to attack the two heroes, but Cat Noir angrily saves
Ladybug.
LADYBUG
Thanks, cat.
CAT NOIR
Whatever. We must find where the akuma is
located!
LADYBUG
I didn’t tell you this but… Chrysalis got
the miraculous of the Peacock - it could be
a sentimonster.
Ladybug is ashamed to reveal this to Cat Noir: she hid this from
him, by fear of abandonment.
CAT NOIR
What?! Why do you keep hiding secrets
from me!
LADYBUG
I’m sorry…
CAT NOIR
Watch out!
LADYBUG
Why are you still saving me?
CAT NOIR
If we defeat Terror, I'll need your magical
ladybugs to fix all the chaos caused by
Chrysalis (writers’ note: they don’t know she
unified the peacock the and the butterfly
miraculous.)
FÉLIX
I can’t believe someone managed to steal my
miraculous! I refuse to think about the fact that
sentimonsters will get manipulated, used, then
destroyed! This is such a horrible thing to do,
they’re like us, they can also have feelings!
AMÉLIE
The dinner is ready darling!
FÉLIX
I’m coming!
As Felix walks in the kitchen, Amélie notices how angry and sad her
son is.
AMÉLIE
Is everything okay? You don’t look fine.
FÉLIX
Don’t worry mom, I'm alright.
When reading the newspaper, Felix learns Chrysalis is the one who
stole the peacock miraculous. He then gets a flashback of Iris
contemplating his broach, and widely opens his eyes.
FÉLIX
Of course! Chrysalis is Iris, I should've
known!
AMÉLIE
What are you talking about? You’re not
eating your breakfast?
FÉLIX
I’ll eat it later!
PHASYLIS
Hahaha! You’ll never defeat Terror, Ladybug!
CAT NOIR
Did you hear that?
LADYBUG
CAT NOIR
Don’t tell me what to do, Mrs. Failure.
LADYBUG
Am I really that disappointing..?
CAT NOIR
You disappoint me everyday, Ladybug.
LADYBUG
I’m really sorry…
CAT NOIR
Stop apologizing and find a way to defeat
Terror!
LADYBUG
Hmm. It looks like he is rejecting negative
emotions to the citizens, look!
CAT NOIR
You’re right! I gotta agree, even though
you’re a complete idiot, you’re smart.
Ladybug gives an angry glance at Cat Noir, her sadness turned into
anger.
LADYBUG
Cat Noir, can you be quiet?! Why don’t you try
to find a way to beat Terror instead of
arguing?!
CAT NOIR
And you, why can’t you keep the miraculous?
It’s the second time they get stolen!
LADYBUG
Argh! It’s not my fault!
CAT NOIR
If it’s not your fault, then who’s fault is it,
then?
PHASYLIS
Today seems promising… They are starting
to divide, perfect!
Cat Noir prevents Ladybug from being attacked from Terror by putting
her in security on a route.
CAT NOIR
Be careful next time, Noobie!
LADYBUG
Argh! Don’t call me that!
CAT NOIR
And why not? The truth hurts, doesn’t it?
LADYBUG
It does Cat Noir. I just can’t handle all of
this anymore, i keep getting rejected by
every-
CAT NOIR
I don’t care, Ladybug.
LADYBUG
I apologize for everything Cat Noir, I didn't
mean to disappoint you, or to put at risk the
ones you love.
LADYBUG
Cat Noir, wait!
CAT NOIR
Cataclysm!
CAT NOIR
Oh no…
LADYBUG
CAT NOIR
Maybe, but at least now we know it’s a senti-
CAT NOIR
At least we know it’s a sentimonster.
Cat Noir turns around and notices Chrysalis on the Eiffel Tower.
CAT NOIR
Look! It’s Chrysalis in person, and she’s
holding a photo! It must be where the amok is
located!
LADYBUG
You’ll attack her from behind, and me in front!
This is her final attack!
CAT NOIR
Let’s go!
FÉLIX
Silly me… I should’ve known Chrysalis is Iris,
it’s so obvious! The many times she left the
class for dumb excuses… I must tell
Ladybug!
FÉLIX
Chrysalis is active! It’s the best occasion
to seize her miraculous, I count on you
Ladybug!
LADYBUG
Hello, Chrysalis.
PHASYLIS
What?! How?!
Chrysalis is stunned: she did not expect Ladybug to find her secret
identity so quickly!
LADYBUG
PHASYLIS
You’ve made a mistake, Ladybug.
LADYBUG
What?
PHASYLIS
Don’t dare affect me Terror, only affect
Ladybug.
CAT NOIR
Ladybug, watch out!
PHASYLIS
Hahaha! Checkmate Ladybug! In a few minutes,
your miraculous will be mine.
LADYBUG
Cat Noir… We can’t defeat Chrysalis, she’s way
stronger than us…
CAT NOIR
Ladybug, no! It’s not time to lose hope!
LADYBUG
Cat Noir. We keep fighting everyday for the
safety of Parisians, but this time, it’s
different. We’re not up to it…
CAT NOIR
Ladybug…
PHASYLIS
Ladybug, you are now Coccinellidae. I offer
you the power to defeat anyone you want.
After defeating all of your victims, you’ll
give me your miraculous.
LADYBUG
Understood, Chrysalis.
CAT NOIR
Ladybug, no…
COCCINELLIDAE
Be quiet, cat.
A red energy ball with black ladybug dots grows in her right hand,
and Coccinellidae directs it on Cat Noir. She defeated him. Cat Noir
detransforms.
COCCINELLIDAE
Adrien?!
CAT NOIR
You… know me?
PHASYLIS
NOOOOO! THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!
CAT NOIR
Why did you do that, Ladybug? We aren’t
supposed to know our secret identities,
especially when Chrysalis is around us!
LADYBUG
I was influenced by Chrysalis, I'm sorry
Adrien. I’m such a failure…
CAT NOIR
Ladybug, don’t say that…
Ladybug is hopeless.
LADYBUG
I’m useless, you’re the only one who can
do something. Find a way to save Paris,
Cat Noir.
CAT NOIR
Sur- She’s escaping! Ladybug, bring her
back with your yoyo, quick!
Phasylis was about to jump from the Eiffel Tower to escape, but with
her yo-yo, Ladybug rapidly brought her back. Without thinking, Cat
Noir is ready to destroy the photo, where the amok is located.
CAT NOIR
Cataclysm!
PHASYLIS
I’m not letting you do this!
Chrysalis directs Cat Noir’s hand, with the cataclysm energy to his
chest. Ladybug is horrified.
LADYBUG
No!
Cat Noir expresses his chest pain with his eyes, and his whimper. He
falls on the ground. Ladybug quickly runs towards him, and grabs him
head.
LADYBUG
My kitty… How could you do this Chrysalis!
PHASYLIS
I’m not Chrysalis anymore!
LADYBUG
It doesn’t matter! You’re still an abomination!
You’re gonna regret this…
LADYBUG (CONT’D)
Lucky Charm!
LADYBUG
Take that!
LADYBUG
Your damage isn’t caused by one of your innocent
victims, I can't heal Cat Noir! You’re such a…
monster, argh!
PHASYLIS
What are you talking about, Ladybug…?
Chrysalis opens her eyes, turns around and takes a quick look at the
city: it’s a complete disaster! The sky is turning purple, and blue
particles are floating in the air. She realizes all the chaos she
caused. She turns around, and notices Cat Noir: she expresses
empathy for him.
LADYBUG (O.S.)
You’re causing chaos to an innocent city -
you’re taking advantage of poor innocent
people that feel negative emotions! I don’t
think you realize the gravity of your actions!
And all of this for an unknown reason, but surely
your own benefit! And for the cherry on the top,
you also almost killed a living being! How could
you?!
PHASHYLIS (O.S.)
You don’t know what you’re talking about, I'm
doing it for love!
LADYBUG (O.S.)
For love, huh? Do you think the person you’re
doing it for would appreciate all of the
disaster you’ve caused? Powers won’t change
your problems, for every wish made, there
is a price to be paid. What life are you ready
to sacrifice?
PHASHYLIS (O.S.)
I ‘m sorry Ladybug, I didn't mean to hurt
Cat Noir…
Bunnyx gets out of her Burrow, but half of her body is still in it.
Perceiving all of the chaos caused by Terror, she gets more worried:
she doesn’t know where Ladybug is!
BUNNYX
Where are you Ladybug… The city needs you!
PHASHYLIS (CONT’D)
…but I still need to seize your miraculous.
LADYBUG
If you didn’t mean to hurt Cat Noir, you
wouldn't have cataclysmed him! You hurt
Cat Noir physically, you hurt me mentally!
LADYBUG
Lucky Charm!
PHASYLIS
Ladybug, even though I cause chaos everyday,
I'm not as horrible as you think!
LADYBUG
If you weren’t horrible, you wouldn’t do i-
LADYBUG (CONT’D)
…call me!
LADYBUG
Lucky Charm!
Ladybug uses her lucky charm and receives a Ninja Star! She
rigorously throws it at Chrysalis.
LADYBUG
This one’s for you, Phasylis!
Ladybug quickly jumps back and seizes her yo-yo, before getting hit
by Phasylis, with her cane.
LADYBUG
…lying?!
FÉLIX
Please trust me.
LADYBUG
I'm currently fighting with her. I don’t
have time for your silly little jokes.
FELIX
Remember the many times Iris suddenly got
sick in class? What if she lied to go
akumatize innocent people?
She has a <FLASH> of the last time Lila left the class because she
apparently got sick.
Ladybug gasps.
LADYBUG
You’re right!
AMÉLIE
Félix? Did you find who Chrysalis is? What
happened earlier, I'm confused…
Félix smiles.
FÉLIX
Yes, mom. Don’t worry, all of this chaos
will end soon, I promise.
AMÉLIE
I-
Terror walks near their appartement which leads Amélie and Félix to
lose all their hope.
AMÉLIE
I’m sorry but, don’t think this chaos will
end…
FÉLIX
You’re right mom, me too… Ladybug isn’t
strong enough to defeat Chrysalis, the
the situation is hopeless…
AMÉLIE
Come give me a hug. Even if it’s hopeless, we
can always comfort each other. The power of
love is stronger than Chrysalis.
LADYBUG
Lucky Charm!
LADYBUG
Iris Verdi, it’s time to give me your
Miraculous.
LADYBUG (CONT’D)
Stop causing all of this chaos!
PHASYLIS
How did you know Ladybug, I thought I was being
careful!
LADYBUG
Hahaha! Welcome to your doomsday, Chrysalis!
PHASYLIS
This has no importance... No matter what
happens, I will make the wish Ladybug!
Chrysalis sends Ladybug flying in the distance with the blow of her
cane. Her back hits an observation deck. She laboriously clings to
it, almost falling. Ladybug moans, and opens her eyes.
LADYBUG
Huh?
She is confused: she doesn’t understand why she said that, but most
importantly, she disappeared. Phasylis majestically jumps to the
very top of the Eiffel Tower. Ladybug looks at her.
PHASYLIS
Dear Parisians, I'm now Phasylis. Today is
my triumph. If Ladybug and Cat Noir don’t
give me their miraculous today, Paris will
turn into ashes. They only have 1 hour left
to make their choice. Time’s ticking…
Alya is sitting on her bed, with Nino next to her. Wide shot on her
phone.
ALYA
Marinette failed to keep the miraculous,
once again. We must help Phasylis to obtain
them, if we don’t want to die. All of this
chaos because of… Marinette,
I can't stand her anymore!
NINO
I once thought she was an awesome guardian,
but she disappointed us, once again.
Cat Noir would’ve been a better choice
for a guardian.
ALYA
I know, Nino. Anyways, if we don’t want
to die, we must choose the evil forces.
We don’t have any other choice.
TRIXX
Alya… I love you, but I don't think it’s a good
idea…
ALYA
Trixx, this is the only solution. From now on,
you’ll obey my orders.
TRIXX
Understood, Master.
ALYA
Trixx, let’s pounce…!
TRIXX
When using the miraculous for evil, your suit
is modified, and your magic words as well. If
you want to transform, you must say ‘Trixx,
Reveal my malicious side’!
ALYA
Trixx, Reveal my malicious side!
NINO
Wayzz, Dark Shell on!
SHELL SHOCK
You look so… villainous!
RENA RAGE
I’ll take that as a compliment.
She kisses him on his right cheek. Before leaving the room through
the window, they give each other a confident look. The camera is
giving a point of view from behind.
BUNNYX
Ladybug, the fate of the world is in your
hands, I hope you know what you’re doing…
BUNNYX
She turns back and perceives Shell Shock and Rena Rage, with some
other Ladybug haters. They’re all holding signs.
BUNNYX
Huh? What is happening?
RENA RAGE
Bunnyx, turn for evil. Ladybug is an awful
guardian. Because of her, our lives are at the
risk of ending.
BUNNYX
What?
SHELL SHOCK
Make the right decision, and join us.
BUNNYX
Never!
She promptly runs towards Rena, and seizes her Miraculous. She hangs
it around her neck. Trixx appears, and Bunnyx iconically transforms
in a split of seconds:
BUNNYX
Trixx, Bunnyx, Unify!
It is no longer Bunnyx who faces Rena Rage and Shell Shock, but
Bunnox.
PHASYLIS (O.S.)
Dear Parisians… Today is my triumph.
If Ladybug and Cat Noir don’t give me their
miraculous today, Paris will turn into ashes…
TOMOE
What is she saying?! She can’t do this,
I need to make my wish too!! I have more
than enough traitors!
Tomoe breaks her television with her , causing a loud noise that
catches Kagami's attention. Kagami is intrigued and leaves her
bedroom. Arriving at the top of the stairs, she asks her mom what's
happening.
KAGAMI
Mom, what’s happening?
TOMOE
Nothing, Kagami! This is none of your business. Go
in your room, now!
KAGAMI
I know this is related to Chrysalis. You’ve
been acting a lot strange lately! You keep
hiding secrets from me, I want answers!
TOMOE
Kagami, if you don’t obey to me-
KAGAMI
If I don't obey, then what will happen? I
stole the ring where my amok is located.
You have no power against me!
TOMOE
You did what?! Argh…! Fine! Come sit next
to me, I'll tell you Kagami! But only if
you decide to give me back the real
ring!
KAGAMI
Fine.
TOMOE
I don’t know if you heard about the news but,
Chrysalis is about to launch a… nuclear bomb.
KAGAMI
What?!
TOMOE
I got mad because I secretly worked with
Chrysalis, to make my wish: to make you
and Adrien become the eternal icons
of the world!
KAGAMI
But mom, you know I love Felix! My attirance for
Adrien has vanished!
TOMOE
Kagami. I’m doing it for your well-being. Now
that I've told you what you wanted to hear,
whether you like it or not, give me the ring.
Without even daring to look at her, Tomoe holds out her hand to
Kagami, expecting to receive the original ring.
LADYBUG
Phasylis, you can’t do this!
Ladybug swings her yo-yo to the top of the Eiffel Tower and quickly
steals the photo from Phasylis. She doesn’t have the time to stop
her, but to react.
LADYBUG
Argos isn’t going to appreciate this,
but, there is only one way to destroy
this feeling of hopelessness.
Ladybug snaps her fingers. Terror disappears, and Cat Noir falls to
the ground.
PHASYLIS
No!
PHASYLIS
ARGHHH!
Chrysalis quickly jumps and joins Ladybug. She attempts to use her
Lucky Charm…
LADYBUG
Lucky-
but fails: Chrysalis sends her in the distance with her cane.
Ladybug falls on the ground, whimpers in pain, but notices Cat Noir:
he falls to the ground too, but while trying to get up. Ladybug,
stunned, runs, and sits next to him. She grabs his head with her
hands.
LADYBUG
Oh no!
LADYBUG (CONT’D)
Cat Noir… are you okay?
CAT NOIR
Not… really… But don’t worry about me.
LADYBUG
Look what you’ve done, Phasylis!
LADYBUG
Kitty Cat… I’ll find a way to heal you,
I promise.
CAT NOIR
Don’t worry about me Ladybug, I surely
don't deserve this… I only saw negativity
in your personality, I'm so sorry... You're
the greatest superhero of all time, you know
right?
LADYBUG
Aw, kitty… You shouldn’t tell me things
like this...
CAT NOIR
Bugaboo… I know I shouldn't tell you this but…
I still have feelings for you. Love seems
to be a complex thing for me, I didn't realize
I was just falling for you, but harder. I love
both you and my girlfriend. (voice breaks)
I'm deeply sorry, I didn't know how to tell you this…
LADYBUG
You don’t have to apologize, Cat Noir.
but Ladybug puts her index finger on his lips, to shut him up.
LADYBUG
CAT NOIR
M’lady…
MARINETTE
My sweet kitten…
And she does too. With their sparky watery eyes, they both give each
other a sweet glance before kissing
in the rainy sunrise.
END POSTER PAINT: The kiss of Marinette and Cat Noir in the rainy
dawn sunrise.
FADE OUT.
THE CROWD
Phayslis! Phayslis! Phayslis!
PHASYLIS
I’m excited to defeat you, Ladybug…
CUT TO BLACK.
