but there's something about me that no-one knows yet
because I have a secret?

[Marinette] "Dear diary, guess what?
"I nearly transformed back
"revealing my true identity to Cat Noir."
Weren't you meeting Alya after school
to research your term paper?
Oh no, I'm late... again!
[bell rings]
[lively music]
[panting]
[video game music]
[she gasps]
-What's that noise? -Hide, Tikki.
[bleeping]
[video game music]
[Kim] Come on, Max.
[Kim] Use the kitty paw.
What's going on?
[she hushes her]
Try-outs for the Paris Ultimate Mecha Strike 3 Tournament.
The school sends the 2 students with the highest scores.
Actually, the try-outs are for a partner
to team up with Max.
Why Max?
[Kim] Cus he's unbeatable.
He's got the highest APM over anyone.
-APM? -Actions per minute.
This tournament is his life. He's been grinding all year.
[bleeping]
[Max sighs]
[bleeping]
[Miss Bustier] Adrien's in the lead.
[Kim] What happened, Max?
[cheering]
[Max sighs]
Awesome job, we'll make a killer combo.
[cheering]
Let me get this straight. If someone beats Max's score,
they'll team up with Adrien?
No-one can beat Max, or rather Max and Adrien.
It's a slam dunk, they're our dream team.
[Marinette squeals]
I see where you're going with this.
[excitedly] Just imagine... teaming with Adrien.
Are you insane, girl?
This is about stepping up and representing,
not snuggling up and snogging.
This is serious business.
Seriously, Alya, you think I'd go through with it?
I think we have our champions...
[Marinette] Wait!
[nervously] Is it too late to try out?
Well, the library is closing in 5 minutes but...
[determined sigh]
[Alya sighs]
Oh boy.
[excitedly] Adrien's joypad.
Is she serious? There's no way.
Unless the player has a particular motivation.
The rules are elementary. You battle each other's robot...
Please... Every time you win, you loot his items and gain XP,
which upgrades your mech'. I'm not a newb' thanks.
[video game music]
[he sighs] Sounds like you know enough.
Let's see if it's enough.
[Kim] This'll be fun.
[Scoffing] Seriously?
How can you spend so much time in front of a screen?
I know. As if.
[bleeping]
[Kim] Come on, Max. You can do it.
[bleeping]
[zapping]
And now, quarter circle plus kick and flying hyper-storm.
Triple-hit combo, Marinette style, boo-ya!
[Marinette cheers] I win.
What? I can't believe it. She... she beat him.
Beat him? She pulverised him.
The king's been knocked off his throne.
[groaning]
[cheering]
[Kim] Max, come on.
[cheering]
I accept this defeat. I relinquish my position.
Congratulations, Marinette, and Adrien.
Max, wait.
[sad music]
Look, I'm fine. I lost fair and square,
but if you don't mind, I'd like some solitude.
So, Marinette and Adrien will represent the school
at the Ultimate Mecha Strike 3 Tournament. Good luck.
I guess I'll be coming over to practice with my new partner.
See you later.
[dreamily] See... ya.
[romantic music]
You gotta win. You'll be representing the school,
not just hanging out with Adrien.
Adrien.
Brother.
[Max] This is a travesty,
an unequivocal travesty.
[Hawk Moth] A competition,
I know you like that, my little Akumas.
Where there's a winner, there's a loser.
[mysterious music]
[whooshing]
Fly away, my little Akuma, and evilise him.
[dramatic music]
I should be the one going to that tournament.
I worked so hard for it.
This is inconceivable.
[whooshing]
Gamer, I am Hawk Moth.
I'll help you win the tournament of your life,
but in return, you must help me achieve my high score.
Absolutely, Hawk Moth. Game on!
Now they'll see who's the greatest gamer in Paris.
[evil growling]
[bubbling]
[dramatic music]
[he cackles]
[excitedly] Training with Adrien, Adrien!
There are other ways to spend time with Adrien.
What do you mean?
You know Max wanted to be in that tournament.
He's been training all year.
You're right. All I could think of was Adrien.
Hey, Adrien's coming to my house.
[gasping] Adrien's coming... to my house!
This is a total disaster. I have to...
clean my room!
[dramatic music]
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
All this... is not...
happening!
[dramatic music]
Calm down, Marinette, you still have time.
He won't show up right now.
[bell rings]
[mother] Marinette!
Someone's here to see you.
[panicking] Coming!
Marinette and I are finalists
in the Paris Ultimate Mecha Strike 3 tournament.
No way!
Well, she did learn from the best. Tom style, boo-ya!
She never told us about this tournament.
We were paired up today.
You two are a pair?
I'm not surprised. She talks a lot about you.
[Marinette] Mom!
[nervously] Come up, Adrien.
Very nice to meet you.
[romantic music]
[endearing sighs]
[woman] Bye, see you next week.
[whooshing]
Gamer, it's time to get to the next level
and show everyone who's best.
No time like the present.
[zapping] [screaming]
[dramatic music]
[cackling]
[video game music]
[they giggle]
-Sorry, -No, you go.
I'LL USE THE OTHER ONE.
[nervous giggles]
[bleeping]
-Your parents seem nice. -Yeah, they are but sometimes...
[she gasps]
[she shrieks]
Sometimes what?
[knocking]
Everything OK?
Just in case you were hungry...
No, thanks, we're training.
Well, maybe you can use a few tips, dad style.
Thanks, but no thanks.
[irritated] Papa.
Sometimes they're a little nosey.
[endearing sighs]
[nervous giggle]
Where were we?
[screaming] [zapping]
I'll soon be at level 2. My skills are indisputable.
[zapping] [screaming]
[dramatic music] [zapping]
I am unstoppable!
[he cackles]
[whooshing]
[dramatic music]
Excellent.
[screaming]
[zapping] [gamer cackles]
[Adrien growls]
Wow! We won again thanks to you.
[nervously] Yeah... Yes, we did.
We? That was practically all you.
You're amazing, Marinette.
I guess you wouldn't even need me. I'm so lame compared to you.
[hesitantly] No, no... I...
No, you're so good.
I mean... I'm the one who's not good.
I mean... I'm lucky, that's all.
[knocking]
Anyone want cookies, hot from the oven?
[Adrien gasps] We're trying to work.
[he groans]
Actually, you know what?
I've got a secret.
This is why I win.
Are you messing with me?
Try playing a match with it.
[door opens]
How about a salmon and spinach pie?
Tell me what you think.
[Marinette groans]
A little snack wouldn't hurt.
[she hesitates and chuckles]
I'm really sorry.
I can't get anything done with my parents around.
[gulping] It's OK.
Your dad makes great pies.
[hesitating] Yeah... so shall we go back?
Let's see if it works.
[thudding] [screaming]
[zapping]
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
Is this a publicity stunt for the tournament?
[bleeping]
[gamer] Well, well...
Marinette, let's see who's victorious this time.
It doesn't look like it.
[whirring]
Look out!
We'd better get outta here.
[panting] [zapping]
[bleeping]
[panting]
Game over, Marinette.
How does he know my name?
Max!
He really did want to be in the tournament.
Time to transform.
Plagg, claws out!
[lively music]
[she groans]
[whimpering]
Game over.
Not yet. Here comes a new challenger.
Cat Noir, hey!
Over here!
[she gasps]
[panting]
I heard you really ticked off the final boss.
It doesn't give him extra points to transform everyone.
Wait, I left Adrien at the park.
We have to go back.
[he hesitates] Don't worry, he's not in danger.
He'll be fine. You'll be safe here.
I'll take care of everything.
Arch, leap and do a barrel-roll.
He's always so over the top.
If ever there was a game to win, this is it.
Tikki, spots on!
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
[whirring]
[dramatic music]
[panting]
Get away from here, as far as you can!
[screams] Hurry!
[Cat Noir] Hey, tin can, over here!
My calculations indicate that your system's about to crash.
[she yells]
[whizzing]
[gamer groans]
You're the one crashing, robot.
[he yells]
He's a robot from Ultimate Mecha Strike.
I know. And it's nearly at level 3, 4 is the highest.
-Wait, you know that game? -Of course.
See? You and me, it was meant to be.
[she sighs]
[cackling]
[zapping]
[bleeping]
[whirring] [whooshing]
I think our problem got a whole lot bigger.
[cheerfully] Level 3.
[he cackles]
If you want to be the most powerful robot,
you must capture Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses.
Then it really will be game over.
Those Miraculouses are mine.
[dramatic music]
[zapping]
[panting]
[whizzing]
[zapping]
We have to stop him before he destroys Paris.
THE STADIUM!
[whizzing]
[lively music]
Where's Clunky got to?
[thud]
[they yell]
[he cackles]
[zapping]
Attack him with your Cataclysm power,
It might shock him.
My pleasure. Two can play this game.
Cataclysm!
[lively music]
[he yells]
[whooshing]
[agonising cry] No!
[groaning]
Smack-down, Cat Noir.
Cat Noir style, boo-ya!
[whooshing]
Check out that loot!
System crash, Gamer!
[he cackles] You've forgotten the rules.
I saved my last level.
[whooshing]
[Ladybug sighs]
Re-spawn!
Not the old spawn point glitch again.
Did you see him press his glasses? I bet the Akuma's in there.
[whooshing]
[Marinette] We've levelled up too.
I don't have long left.
[lively music]
I'll man it, you shoot.
-Why do you get to man it? -Wanna flip for it?
[whirring]
[crashing]
OK, you man it, I'll fire.
Look out. Here he comes.
[smashing] [fizzing]
Don't let it go to your head.
Hawk booster!
[worried cry]
[he cackles]
[lively music]
Round 2, Gamer.
[he growls]
Pyramissiles!
Force-field, Cat Noir!
Got it! Force-field activated.
[rumbling]
Catsabre.
[lively music]
Pyradrill!
[whizzing]
[grinding]
[struggling]
[grinding]
[yelling]
[fizzing]
He's powerful. He took out our force-field.
We'll have to do without.
Ladybombs!
Laser wall!
[whizzing]
[Ladybug] Ladyhelix!
[whizzing]
[Cat Noir] Kitty-punch!
[bombs whistle]
[Cat Noir] Ear thunder!
[zapping]
-He's anticipating our attacks. -Watch out!
[thudding]
[clunking]
[lively music]
Gamer-fire!
[whooshing]
[zapping] [Ladybug groans]
[he cackles]
Today, I'll be victorious.
[lively music]
[Cat Noir roars]
Catouken!
[clunking]
[yelling]
[groaning]
I am the strongest player in the world.
[cackling]
How do we beat him if we can't catch him?
We have to jam the system.
Tatsukitty!
Catoukin!
Gamer Crusher!
Shoryubug!
Catoukin!
[lively music]
[crashing]
[clunking]
We must get inside.
Go. You're boss.
Take control, I'll be right back.
Right back? Where you going?
It's just us two, Gamer.
What...?
Lucky charm!
[lively music]
Graffiti? Spray-paint? Arts and crafts?
[dramatic music]
[tinkling]
Bingo.
[lively music]
[she hums]
[he growls] You won't get away with this.
[rumbling]
Game over, Gamer.
Game over for you too, Akuma.
[lively music]
Time to de-evilise!
Gotcha!
Bye-bye, little butterfly.
Miraculous Ladybug!
[twinkling]
[whooshing]
[sighs of relief]
[whooshing]
What am I doing here?
POUND IT!
Such pitiful insolence!
The moment you challenged me was the moment you sealed your fate!
This battle is not yet over.
[stadium speaker] Remember, the high score to beat is 245,000.
So gamers, hit those consoles. Game on!
After all you've done, now you want to pull out?
But I feel so bad for Max.
And well... it just wouldn't be right.
You're doing the right thing,
but you don't get the chance to play with Adrien every day.
Max... I thought about this a lot...
And now, representing the Francois Dupont high school!
I think you should be playing tonight.
What?
Don't get me wrong, I love gaming, but it's not my heart and soul.
This is your baby. It's your tournament, Max.
I won't take that away from you.
Dudes, make up your minds. They're waiting for you.
I insist.
How can I thank you?
By winning... with her.
[she gasps]
You're way better than me. You belong on the team.
Win it for the school.
[Adrien] I know you can do it.
Go on, dudes, they're waiting.
[Marinette hesitates] No... but... I...
Only with you.
[cheering] Let's show 'em who's gold!
[cheering]
[happy music]
