Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Nooroo: Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were the Miraculous. Throughout history, heroes have used these jewels for the good of the human race. Two of these Miraculous are more powerful than the others; the earrings of the Ladybug, which provide the power of creation; and the bracelet of the Wolf, which grants the power of destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both these jewels at the same time will achieve absolute power.

Male voice: I want that absolute power, Nooroo. I must have those Miraculous!

Nooroo: But nobody knows where these Miraculous are!

Male voice: I found you though, my little Nooroo. Your Miraculous... remind me of its powers again.

Nooroo: The Moth Brooch allows you to give someone their own superpowers and to make that person your devoted follower!

Male voice: And when it comes to luring superheroes, what could be better than creating supervillains?

Nooroo: But master, the Miraculous are not meant to be used for evil purposes!

Male voice: I must have this absolute power! Your Miraculous is in my control! (pointing at Nooroo causing him to stun) I am your master now, and you must obey me.

Nooroo: (lowering his head sadly) Yes, master.
Male voice: (puts on the brooch) Nooroo, (Butterflies swarm over and covering him.) dark wings rise! (Nooroo enters the broach and the male voice transforms into Hawk Moth) From this day on, I shall be known as... (Open his eyes) Hawk Moth! (laughs evilly)

Scene: Fu's massage shop. Wayzz wakes up and senses something is wrong.

Wayzz: Master, Master! (customer hears Wayzz, looks up)

Wang Fu: Master, master. Chanting, it's all part of the treatment. Master, master. (begins pushing customer out door) Thank you for coming, see you again next week!

Wayzz: Master, the Moth Miraculous, I felt its aura.

Wang Fu: I thought it had been lost forever!

Wayzz: But Master, it's a negative aura. I fear it may have gotten into the hands of a dark power!

Wang Fu: We must find Nooroo and his Miraculous. If it has gotten into the wrong hands, there's no telling what evil will come upon the world! (shows his Miraculous) Time to transform! Wayzz... (doubles over in pain)

Wayzz: Please, Master. Be reasonable. You are–

Wang Fu: Still young! I'm only 186. But you're right, Wayzz. I can no longer do it alone. We'll need some help. (opens the gramophone, revealing the Miraculous box)

Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Marin is in his bed sleeping while his phone is ringing.

Sabine: (from downstairs) Marin! Your alarm's been going off for fifteen minutes! You're going to be late for your first day back at school!

Marin: (crawls out from underneath bed covers) Got it, Mom! (walks down stairs) Coming! I bet you anything, Charles will be in my class again.

Sabine: Four years in a row, is that possible?

Marin: Definitely. Lucky me!

Sabine: Don't say that! It's the start of a new year, I'm sure everything will be just fine!

(Marin smiles and nods, setting down the cocoa. Several things get knocked over, spilling and falling to the floor. Marin groans, but his mother comforts him.)

Tom: (sings La Marseillaise as he works)

Marin: Dad, these are so awesome!

Tom: Glad you like them.
