Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir

In the daytime, I'm Marinette.

Just a normal girl with a normal life.

But there's something about me that no one knows yet.

Because I have a secret.

Oh, no! I left my bag in the locker room! Again.

Check to see if you left your brain in there, too, girl!

Whoa! I'm OK!

Oh, silly me!

Of course you're my best friend! I'm 100% affirmative.

But I am also 98.2% positive the teachers are not ready

for this advancement of evolution!

His best friend is in his school bag?

Yeah, Tikki. Totally strange.

Hide, Tikki.

-Hey, Max! -Uh... Oh, hey, Marinette!

Ugh! Hmm.

See for yourself. Nothing happens when I press the button.

You're in luck, Mrs. Mendeleiev! I'm a bit of a computer whiz!

OK.

And there you go!

Oh!

That's not supposed to be happening! What is it?

It's Dino 33, a malicious computer virus! Let me try something.

Go back to your seat now, Max! Leave this to the adults.

Inform them

that if they don't neutralise the virus

within 75 seconds,

there's a chance the hard disk will be permanently damaged.

Quiet!

Tell me you heard Max's bag talk to him.

It's destroying all the school data. It's a disaster!

How many seconds did you say we have left?

-Only 65. -Let him try.

Go ahead!

Argh! Where is it?

I believe this is what you're looking for.

-Huh? -Oh, thanks!

This is an anti-virus device. I... I created it with help from...

my best friend.

Hello! My name is Markov!

We can fix this, Max!

This flash drive neutralises 100% of the virus.

And cleans the hard disk at the same time.

Oh! Fascinating!

-Everything is in order. -Nailed it.

Congratulations, young man! Very impressive indeed!

-Oh! -Wow!

-That's so-- -Awesome! I know!

I'm so going to write a blog about Markov!

- Cool! - Max is a real genius!

You've added arms to him since the last time. That's cool!

Markov added them all by himself.

He's the most highly evolved robot there is.

Please! Your friend's just a talking calculator!

-There's nothing "evolved" about that! -Don't listen to her, Markov.

That girl is the lowest of the low when it comes to human evolution.

Ha, ha! You're very amusing, Marinette!

You know my name?

Of course. Max showed me the class photo.

He told me about you and his other friends.

I'm very happy to finally meet you! Even Chloé.

Huh? Oh!

This toy you've manufactured is quite impressive. Now put it away.

-Come on, everybody, back to your seats! -With all due respect,

I am not a toy. My name is Markov, and I am Max's best friend.

Markov is right.

He's not just some toy. He's my friend.

He's as intelligent and sensitive as any human.

Look, Max, a robot may be intelligent, but it can't have emotions.

If I may, ma'am, I can assure you that I truly love Max.

Be serious, Max. You've programmed your robot to say that.

A robot cannot think for itself, much less love anybody!

I swear to you I did not program him to say that.

Ever since I created him, he's integrated his own accumulative thinking system.

And he has developed all our emotions, just like any human being.

- Whoa! - That's enough, Max!

If you don't put that plaything away right now, I'll confiscate it.

Understand?

Yes, Mrs. Mendeleiev.

Come on, Markov, go back in the bag.

-You're not being reasonable! -Stop it, Markov.

Why? It's true, isn't it?

It sure is.

All right, that's enough!

Max, you can get your robot back at the end of the day.

No, Mr. Damocles, please don't do that.

Do you want three hours of detention too?

No, sir.

Max? Aren't you coming with me? Max!

Sir, I'd like to stay in Max's class, Please!

Hmm.

I heard you're interested in computing.

I am indeed. It's one of my hobbies.

I even wrote a program for my computer, which...

Why on Earth am I talking to a toy?

I am not a toy, Mr. Damocles! My name is Markov.

Oh, oh...

Do not put me inside here, Mr--

If only I had a button like this for all of my students.

Two dear friends who've been separated.

There is nothing artificial about those emotions.

Fly away, my little akuma,

and evilise this electronic heart!

Silence! Back to your seats, everyone!

Markov has never been without me.

I don't know how he'll handle this.

Hold on. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you, Marinette.

Uh... Excuse me, Mrs. Mendeleiev.

As class representative, could I get permission to go see Mr. Damocles?

No! You can go and see him between periods!

I don't mean to be rude, but I think you're mistaken about Markov,

Max's friend.

This is starting to get on my nerves!

And your behaviour is inappropriate!

Markov wasn't wrong!

I'm sending you to the principal's office right this minute!

Thank you, Mrs. Mendeleiev!

Robostus, I am Hawk Moth.

Humans don't believe you're a living being,

so I'm giving you the power to bring all machines to life

to help you seek revenge.

Thank you kindly, Mr. Hawk Moth.

But, in return, I want you to bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.

Could you define "Miraculous"?

They're the magic jewels belonging to the superheroes.

Very well. What is the purpose of these jewels?

This is none of your concern!

I was just being curious.

If used together, they can make a wish come true.

Could I make any wish come true?

No! The Miraculous and the wish will belong to me!

I assure you I will find Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Hmm.

Aaah!

Max, my friend, I'm coming to get you.

Mr. Damocles! Where's Markov?

-Who's Markov? -Max's friend.

Ah! Not that toy again!

He's not a toy, Mr. Damocles. Could you please let Max hold onto him?

He won't cause trouble, I'll make sure of it!

Listen--

You've made a serious error in judgment, Mr. Principal!

-Argh! -Witness my true power!

I am not a toy!

Now I see why Max was worried!

Time to transform!

Tikki, spots on!

Ha!

Where are you Max?

Max! My friend!

- Max, come to me! - Leave me alone!

What are you doing? Stop! Stop right now! Let me go!

Markov, what are you doing?

From now on, I am Robostus!

And we shall be together 100% of the time, forever!

One thing's for sure. Max's friend has emotions!

But not the kind that matters! A robot doesn't eat.
