Red Light || Miraculous Story

5-3: Destruction

Scene: Interior, Dupain-Cheng's Residence, Z+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 has the morphin grid 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, Rangers, Cat Noir, be super careful.

Worry was printed on Marinette's face as soon as the video came to an end.

Scene: Interior, the Agreste mansion, 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!

So...so like do you just sit in your lair just...yelling at yourself...because...that's a sign of insanity...

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!

Ok so why doesn't he just ask for time manipulation he can't travel through time but he can pause, rewind yada yada...

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, The Rangers 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.
