Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir REWRITE

Destruction

Dupain-Cheng's Residence, Marinette's room. Marinette slides her chair to her monitor and looks at the trapdoor entrance behind her to check if anyone is coming. Then, she plays a video from the Ladyblog, but discovers that its volume is high, so she quickly tries to lower the volume.

Alya: (in the video blog) Now that Shadow Moth stole almost every Miraculous and told us people to call him Monarch, with all these powers, what is he planning?
(The real Alya enters the room's trapdoor, much to Marinette's panic.)

Alya: Marinette, what did we say?

Marinette: (pauses the video, stuttering) Th-The video launched itself!

Alya: (sarcastically) Of course, it did. (goes back to her normal tone) Hey, you want some fruit with your tea?

Marinette: Sure. Thanks, Alya.

Alya: Wait for me there and think of something else. (exits the room and closes the trapdoor)
(As Alya left the room, Marinette plays the video from the Ladyblog once again.)

Alya: (from the video) Ladybug, Cat Noir, be super careful.
(Worry was printed on Marinette's face as soon as the video came to an end.)

Avalon: (Looks at her sister skeptically) Sis you know in this scenario you know what you have to do. (Points) outside.

Marinette: (About to argue but keeps her head down) ok... (Gives him her earrings)

Avalon: good trust it'll help you

in the crypt. Gabriel is standing in front of Emilie's cryogenic pod beside all the Kwamis.

Gabriel: (furiously) Ladybug, once I get that last Miraculous, you will disappear forever! (points at the Kwamis) And you! You're all going to help me!
(He walks to get the Grimoire and scans the book for any useful information. He then points at Orikko.)

Gabriel: There! (to Orikko) You! You can grant me any power I want! (closes the Grimoire and walks toward Orikko) You will give me the power to travel through time!

Orikko: No, you're mistaken! Time travel is Fluff's power and I can't grant the power that already belongs to another Kwami!

Gabriel: Are you trying to deceive me??

Orikko: (nods) By all means! Read the Grimoire again!
(Gabriel reopens the Grimoire.)

Sass: Each Kwami represents a concept, and a concept can only exist once in the universe.

Xuppu: Too complicated, Sass! Let's use an example to make things simpler. Take Tikki, she is the Kwami of Creation, and creation is creation, and if there's another creation than creation, then it's not "creation", it's "replication"!

Gabriel: Then grant me the power to locate Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous!

Orikko: Trouble is, that's not a power; that's a wish!

Xuppu: For instance, if I asked Santa for a pair of socks, that's a wish. But if I want Santa to grant me the power to knit socks, then it means Santa needs to know how to knit socks in the first place so he can teach me!

Gabriel: (groans angrily) Grant me the power to unmask Ladybug and Cat Noir's secret identities!

Xuppu: No can do!

Orikko: (shoves Xuppu away) I cannot give a power that would disrupt another Kwami's magic. And being able to conceal the person behind the costume, well, that's part of the magic of their Kwami.

Gabriel: (enraged) So you're utterly useless!
(Orikko, Sass and Xuppu are taken aback by Gabriel's remark.)

Orikko: I... won't be talked to like this, sir!
(Barkk, Kaalki and Daizzi fly to Orikko to comfort him.)
