Nino:Wayzz, shell on! Nino transforms into Carapace. Carapace laughs. Carapace:that's crazy!
Ladybug:stay focused! We have to hurry before Chat Noir transforms back. And we need him to save Chloe. Lucky Charm! Boxing gloves appear and land in Ladybug's hands. Carapace:boxing gloves? You're not gonna fight Anansi directly, are you? Ladybug uses her Lucky Vision, it highlights Carapace, the Arc de Triomphe and Chat Noir. Ladybug:why not? It's a simple plan, but you have to protect us.........me, Chat Noir and Chloe. Ladybug puts a hand on Carapace's shoulder. Ladybug:you've already proved you're capable of doing it. Carapace smiles and nods, Ladybug nods back and they jump down and run towards the Arc de Triomphe. Carapace:hey, six-hands! Catch this! He throws his shield at Anansi, who dodges it by jumping down to the ground. Anansi looks at Ladybug. Anansi:change of pet? You replaced your kitty with a turtle? Ladybug:I love animals, but I'm not into spiders. Ha! She throws her yo-yo at Anansi but she dodges the yo-yo. Anansi:ha! Missed me. Ladybug:did I? She wraps her yo-yo cord around the pillars of the Arc de Triomphe, making a makeshift boxing ring in the interior, meanwhile Carapace is fighting Anansi, Ladybug steps into the ring, wearing the boxing gloves. Ladybug:Anansi! I challenge you. One round. You win, you get my Miraculous. I win, you release your prisoners. What do you have to lose? Chat Noir's ring beeps frantically. Chat Noir:hurry!
Ladymoth:don't listen to her; it's a trap! Anansi:don't worry, miss moth girl, this nasty bug ain't no match for Anansi. Anansi touches hand-to-glove with Ladybug. Anansi:I'll devour you, little nasty bug. Carapace strikes Cat Noir's staff on his own shield, making the sound of a boxing-round bell. Anansi:one punch will be enough. Ladybug dodges Anansi's hits. Ladybug:you can't punch the wind. She stands in the corner of the ring. Anansi:it's over. She tries to hit Ladybug, misses and instead punches one of the pillars of the Arc de Triomphe, causing it to crack. Ladybug:one punch, huh? Well, maybe if you could actually land one. Anansi:shut up! Ladybug keeps dodging. Ladybug:why, do you have trouble doing two things at the same time? She goes into another corner and Anansi tries to hit her, but misses and cracks another pillar. Anansi growls. Anansi:stay still! Ladybug laughs. The pillar-cracking repeats three more times and the Arc begins to crumble. Ladybug giggles. Ladybug:you're so weak that when you're shadow-boxing, your shadow wins! Ladybug pants. Anansi:shadow this! Anansi kicks Ladybug back against the wires of the boxing ring. Anansi:you can't win this fight, so give up and give me your Miraculous! Ladybug:you wish.
Ladybug leans into the wires and walks backwards, causing the wires to cut into the pillars of the Arc, in turn causing the weakened Arc to collapse. Anansi's leg gets caught under a heavy block of stone. Ladybug grabs Carapace and hauls herself and him up to the web. Ladybug:it's all up to you, Captain Turtle. She throws Carapace up to Chloe before going to Cat Noir. Ladybug:use your power now, Carapace! Carapace:at your service, dude...... Chloe looks confused. Carapace:uh, Ladybug. Carapace holds up his shield. Carapace:Shellter! A big glowing green ball appears around the four of them, the ball falls down and the Arc collapses completely. Carapace de-activates the Shellter.
Chat Noir looks at Ladybug. Chat Noir:you're not really replacing me with a turtle, are you? He pouts. Ladybug opens her mouth to answer then the debris rumbles and Anansi emerges. Ladybug:not now, Chat Noir! She hurls Chat Noir towards Anansi. Ladybug:throw like a ladybug, scratch like a cat! Chat Noir touches the boxing helmet, it disintegrates and breaks to pieces, the Akuma flies out. Ladybug:no more evil-doing for you, little Akuma. Time to de-evilize! She captures the Akuma. Ladybug:gotcha! She releases the now-purified butterfly. Ladybug:bye-bye little butterfly. She throws the boxing gloves into the air. Ladybug:Miraculous Ladybug! The Miraculous Cure spreads itself throughout the city, repairing the Ferris wheel and the Arc de Triomphe, and cleansing the streets of cobwebs. Anansi is detransformed into Nora. Nora:the Beetle and Mister Whiskers? What's going on here? Ladybug:pound it? Chat Noir:uh, sorry, guys, but I gotta go. He starts to run away.
Ladybug:Chat Noir! Chat Noir stops and turns around to look at Ladybug. Ladybug:you know you're irreplaceable. Chat Noir smiles and nods. He turns back around and runs away. Ladybug and Carapace:pound it! Chloe:whoa, this is a first for the Ladyblog. A brand new superhero! What's your name? Carapace:uh...... He looks questioningly at Ladybug, who just smiles back. Carapace:huh...............Carapace. Call me Carapace.
Ladybug:see you later, bugheads. Ladybug runs away followed by Carapace, they both take off with Ladybug's yo-yo. Chloe looks at her phone. Chloe:and stay connected.
