Jacob hops up the mountain from ledge to ledge trying to get good footing all the way up, but even though he slips the whole way up, he finally makes it to the biking path.

Jacob: I need a name. I'm breaking the cycle of Cat Noir! Oh! (Snap) I'll call myself Dior! Dior Noir!

He uses his staff to propel himself up the trail and get close to where Jade is. Dior sees Jade riding down the trail super fast on her way down to the gorge and tries to get there first.

On the way up, he doesn't account for a rock falling down on his head, which knocks him off his path and makes him fall down a few feet onto a ledge.

Dior: I thought she said there'd be a MUDslide not a ROCKslide.

Dior gets back up and launches himself up and starts hopping across the ledges again.

Dior: JADE! JADE, TURN AROUND! THERE'S A ROCK-

Another rock falls and hits him on the head and he goes crashing on the ground.

Dior: DAMN!

He looks up toward the gorge at Jade who's already on the path to the gorge.

Jade: I can clear it. I'm gonna clear it!

Dior: NO! STOP!

Mud starts pouring down one side of the mountain while rocks start coming down the other side.

Jade: I can-

Jade looks around and sees the mud and rocks coming down on both sides. She sees a clearing on the other side where the mud is coming from and starts going faster to get to the other side.

Jade: Get to the other side. Get into the giant hole in the rocks. Shouldn't be too hard.

She springs off on the front wheel at the edge of the pass, and starts gliding across the canyon.

Dior pole vaults across the ravine and tries to grab Jade off the bike, but when he grabs her, her pants leg gets stuck in the gear.

Jade: LET GO! I CAN CLEAR THIS!

Dior: IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!

Jade: FUCK OFF YOU ALLEY CAT LOOKING VIGILANTE!

She throws him off of her and he lands on a ledge. Jade tears her pants and tries to get the fabric out of the gear, but crashes into part of the mountain. She hangs on to a ledge, but is struggling to hold on.

Jade: SON OF A BITCH! I HAD IT! I COULD'VE CLEARED IT!

The ledge breaks and Jade falls down onto another one and hits her head off a rock.

Jade: Kill me...

Dior: HOLD ON! I'LL GET YOU!

The ledge starts breaking off the side of the mountain and Jade starts looking around for something else to hold on to.

Jade: HURRY! THE LEDGE IS BREAKING!

Jade looks down and the gorge is...a very deep drop down. Dior extends his stick from his ledge to Jade's and starts walking across. The ledge breaks off even more, and Dior looks at the mud and rocks coming down harder than before.

Dior: GRAB THE STICK!

Jade: I...I can't...

Dior: YES YOU CAN! GARB IT!

She crawls out and reaches for the stick, but runs back up against the back of the mountain.

Jade: I can't do it...

The ledge finally breaks and Dior jumps for Jade, but misses her hand and she falls into the canyon.

Dior: JADE!

He watches horrified as a screaming Jade falls into the ravine. Dior skids onto a well supported ledge and scoots back with his back pressed against the mountain while he watches the mud fall down into the canyon.

Dior: Plagg, claws in...

Plagg flies out of the ring and lands on Jacob's knee.

Jacob: Plagg...

Plagg: I know, kid. I know...

Jacob: I should've been faster... I...

Plagg: It wasn't your-

Jacob: Don't even say that it wasn't my fault! It was all my fault! She'd still be here if I just kept my mouth shut! All I had to do was shut up!

Plagg looks at Jacob who has tears streaming down his face and pats his knee with his tiny arm.

Plagg: I'm sure she was a tough girl, Jacob.

Jacob: She was one of the strongest girls I'd ever met... I basically killed her, Plagg. I-I killed her...

Jacob takes the ring off and holds it in his hand. He shoves the ring in his bookbag and takes out his phone. He takes a good look at his phone charm and breaks down seeing the Jade colored soccer ball.

A cyber themed butterfly flies out of a crack of the mountain and flies into the phone charm.

Cyber Moth: 'Sup Harsh Reality! I am Cyber Moth!

Jacob: Like the old Hawkmoth?

Cyber Moth: Yup! But I don't want Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous. I want a certain someone taken out, and I think you're the perfect person to do that. I'm gonna give you powers similar to Lady WiFi's. All you have to do is say the words "Harsh Reality", and you can make people see the harshness of the world. So, do you accept?

Jacob: Everyone's gonna see the harsh reality!

He transforms into Harsh Reality and Plagg flies back to Marinette with the ring. Harsh Reality jumps away back toward the town and starts shooting his staff.

Plagg flies faster to get to Marinette's house when he passes Noah and Sasha on the street.

Noah: Plagg?

Plagg turns around and flies back to Noah and Sasha.

Plagg: Cyber butterfly- Jade- Canyon- Fell- Jacob-

Sasha: Slow down, Plagg!

Plagg: Jade's as good as dead and Jacob's on a rampage and I think Alya, Marinette's old best friend has the peacock and butterfly miraculous because she loves anything cyber and-

Noah: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What do you mean, "Jade's as good as dead"?

Plagg: She... She fell into the canyon...

Noah: SHE WHAT!?

Sasha: No... She- She's the girls' guardian! She can't be...

Plagg: He tried to grab her, but...

Noah: We...get the idea...

Sasha: So...what do we do?

Plagg: Well, you two were the first people I ran into, so... You guys up for playing heroes?

Sasha: Isn't this more of a family matter?

Noah: So you're saying I get the chance to see Meeker here in a skintight bodysuit?

Sasha: YOU-

Plagg: If that's what you wanna go off of, sure.

Noah: YES! I'LL DO IT!

Sasha: NO! WHAT'S THE REASON!?

Noah: You know what my reason is~ Hand over that ring for temporary usage little winged man!

Plagg: Noah Krone, here's the miraculous of the Black Cat, blah, blah, blah. You will use it for the greater good- blah, blah, blah. Can I trust you?

Sasha: Aren't there rules that say only the Guardian of the Miraculous can-

Noah: I'll do it! I'll do it! You can trust me with your tiny, little, and infinite life!

Plagg: Ok, whatever.

Plagg tosses Noah the ring and Sasha starts rubbing her head.

Sasha: For the love of-

Noah: -all things sexy, curvy, and hot! Make with the materialization of the earrings!

Sasha: You can't do that, right?

Plagg: I can.

Noah: Woo Hoo!

Sasha: There really is no God.

Plagg: MATERIALIZE!

A pink light illuminates in Plagg's hands and the earrings appear out of nothing.

Plagg: Pretty cool, huh?

Noah: THERE IS A GOD!

Plagg: And that God is me. Now, make with the transformation! We don't have all day people!

Sasha puts on the earrings and Tikki appears.

Tikki: Hi!

Plagg: You wanna hear a quick secret?

Sasha: No, but since I have to...

Plagg: Tikki started the Lovers Burden curse!

Tikki: PLAGG!

Noah: THANK YOU!

Sasha: WHY!? YOU-

Noah: Like you said, Plagg, we don't have all day! Plagg, claws out!

Sasha: Tikki, spots on! I'mma call myself Beetle, you?

Noah: Ombre!

They transform and start jumping in the direction where the blast was last.

Beetle: At least my hair is long again!

Ombre: (Whistles) You clean up real nice, Babe~

Beetle: Focus, Cat Nip! And don't call me-

Ombre: INCOMING BEAM!

Ombre propels himself and Beetle onto a roof opposite of where Harsh Reality's beam shot at.

Beetle: Thanks, Cat Nip.

Ombre: It's Ombre, babe!

Harsh Reality: Ladybug! Cat- You're not the OGs?

Beetle: Yeah, 'cause we're Beetle!

Ombre: And Ombre!

Beetle: Give up your Cyber bug, Jacob!

Harsh Reality: I'm not Jacob! I'm Harsh Reality!

Cyber Moth: Change of plans, Harsh Reality! Get me their miraculous so I can wish Marinette out of existence!

Harsh Reality: You got it, Cyber Moth! HARSH REALITY!

Harsh Reality shoots beams at Ombre and Beetle and they continue to run around avoiding all of them.

Ombre: You got any ideas!? Now would be a great time!

Beetle: I'm trying here! I've got nothing! Where's the Cyber bug!?

They hide behind a crushed building and study Harsh Reality from afar.

Ombre: Look at the charm in his staff.

Beetle: In it? Don't you mean on?

Ombre: No, not on, in! It's in the center of it! It's in the purple ball!

Beetle: But how do we get the ball out of the staff?

Ombre: How about a little lucky action?

Beetle: I like the way you think, Litter box. Lucky Charm!

The yo-yo gives Beetle two soccer jerseys and a soccer ball.

Ombre: So, you get two non-spotted jerseys, but a spotted soccer ball?

Beetle: Guess so.

Ombre: Who's playing him?

Beetle: You want to?

Ombre: Yeah, but you're a better player than me.

Beetle: You're...a descent player.

Ombre: I barely understand the rules. You gotta do it.

Beetle: Alright! Wish me luck!

Ombre: Go get 'em!

Beetle jumps in the direction of Harsh Reality while Ombre starts evacuating the remaining people out of the area. When Beetle finds Harsh Reality, she sees him sitting on a roof in a lotus position in a meditating state.

Beetle: HARSH REALITY! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A GAME OF SOCCER! ONE-ON-ONE! WINNER TAKES ALL!

Harsh Reality shoots a beam at Ombre who's just finished getting a child from under a fallen building.

Beetle: OMBRE!

Ombre looks up and is hit dead on with a purple beam that knocks him back into four buildings, but when Beetle gets to him she only finds black mist.

Beetle thinks her partner is gone and stands there in shock when a whistle is heard from a rooftop. She looks up and sees Ombre with an entire team of reinforcements.

Ombre: Miss me?

Beetle: You're ok!

Ombre: C'mon, Buggy! You didn't really think I would go down and out without a backup plan did you?

Raynard: To be fair, Ombre, you're a bit off your rocker.

Stronghold: You aren't wrong about that.

Ombre: Shut up!

Silo: They aren't wrong.

Ombre: Quiet Ms. Piggy!

Silo: Ms. Piggy!? I'm gonna knock you back!

Roaring: Calm down, Silo.

Viper: Instead of fighting each other, why don't we focus on the scary man with a death ray pointed at us!?

Harsh Reality shoots a beam at Viper who narrowly dodges and Stronghold gets hit instead and knocked back into an already crumbling building.

Squeaker: Raynard, go get her!

Raynard: Already gone!

Silverback: What happened to you, Jacob? What do you think you have to prove!?

Harsh Reality: I am not Jacob! I'M HARSH REALITY!

He blasts Beetle who turns purple and falls to the ground. A purple screen appears over her and we see a younger looking Sasha getting hit by an older man.

Sasha: Dad... I-I'm sorry-

He strikes her down and she touches her mouth which has blood coming out.

Mr. Meeker: IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE'S GONE! SHE LEFT BECAUSE OF YOU! YOUR MOM WOULD STILL BE HERE IF YOU COULD JUST BE BETTER! YOU FUCKING MISTAKE!

Everyone looks across the city at Amethyst's screen and see derogatory words surrounding her in black letters, and her trying to cover up the words that were carved into her with concealer.

???: No amount of concealer is gonna cover up what's true you filthy slut!

Amethyst: SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

???: You know it's true~ No matter how much you run, you'll never be able to get far enough away~ I'm everywhere you are, babygirl~

Amethyst: SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU CALL YOURSELF OUR FATHER! YOU MAKE ME SICK!

Everyone looks up at Harsh Reality who has a sick smile on under his mask.

Harsh Reality: Ombre, you can stop this. All you have to do is give me yours and Beetle's miraculous.

Komodo: Don't listen to him!

Ombre stares into the purple ball and is put into a hypnotic trance.

Harsh Reality: All you have to do is hand over your miraculous. Take off the ring and give it to me.

Ombre: N-No...

He struggles against it when his hand starts moving on its own and starts sliding the ring off his finger.

Harsh Reality: Give in, Ombre- oh wait! Give in, NOAH!

Viper: He knows...

Silverback: He's not as stupid as the cyberform makes him look!

Harsh Reality: I know you love her, Noah. You don't wanna see her suffer like this...do you? Unless...you DON'T really love her?

Ombre: I... I...

Harsh Reality: Don't tell me you've been lying to her?

Viper takes his harp and tangles Ombre's hands behind his back. Ombre tries to free his hands, but the strings are too tangled.

Everyone goes to fight Harsh Reality while Viper starts trying to come up with a plan.

Viper: KOMODO!

Komodo jumps down from where she landed after being thrown, and lands next to Viper.

Komodo: Yeah?

Viper: I need you to use your lightening dragon, then while Harsh Reality's stunned, I'll make a run for Beetle's yo-yo. If I'm right, the rest of the miraculous will be at our disposal. I just need to get the horse and bee. Squeaker's gonna merge with the horse and me with the bee. You see where I'm going?

Komodo: Yup! LIGHTENING DRAGON!

Lightening strikes Harsh Reality and he gets stunned. While he's in his state Viper makes a grab for Beetle's yo-yo and succeeds. He gets the horse and bee miraculous without any trouble and throws the horse miraculous to Komodo who sneaks it to Squeaker who grabs it so silently you wouldnt even know she has it.

Squeaker: Kaalki! Mullo! Unify!

She unifies the miraculous and becomes Pegamouse. Viper unifies his next and transforms into Serpent's Sting.

Pegamouse: SERPENT'S STING, THEY'VE GOT HIM PINNED!

Serpent's Sting: GIMMIE A PORTAL! NOW!

Pegamouse: Right! VOYAGE!

She makes a portal right over a struggling and pinned Harsh Reality, and one directly under Serpent's Sting.

Serpent's Sting: VENOM!

Sting falls through the portal and stings Harsh Reality directly in the spine with the venom. Harsh Reality goes limp and they put him gently on the ground.

Raynard grabs the ring off Ombre's finger and tosses it to Silverback. He unifies the Monkey and the Cat and uses the cataclysm to destroy the staff and a cyber themed butterfly flies out of it.

Silverback divides and merges the miraculous quickly, jumps, and destroys the butterfly before it can get away. Jacob returns back to normal and sits up on the roof with dull eyes.

Jacob: I deserve to die... She's dead and it's my fault. All because I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I'm sorry... I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

He runs and jumps from rooftop to rooftop to get away from all the destruction he caused.

Pegamouse: Jade...

Komodo: No.. No! NO! NO! APRIL FOOLS! APRIL FUCKING FOOLS! JADE! JADE, YOU CAN COME OUT NOW! Where- Where's the April...Fools...

All the girls realize what's happening and begin to break down in the arms of their best friend as it starts to rain. Roaring picks up the spotted soccer ball and looks at Beetle who's just frozen in place.

Roaring: What do we do?

Viper: I have an idea.

He takes the ball and kicks it so high you can barely even see it anymore.

Viper: MIRACULOUS NEXT GEN!

The ladybugs appear and start fixing everything and at the end make Beetle, Ombre, and Stronghold's mindset return back to normal.

Ombre: What...?

Beetle: Did we win- Where'd Jacob go?

Stronghold: That was so cool- Raynard, why are you still holding me?

Raynard: Oh- u-uhm- I-I was just...

Stronghold: Put me down, please.

Raynard: R-Right.

Raynard puts Stronghold down and they leap back onto the roof.

Stronghold: I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say she didn't make it?

Pegamouse: No...

Stronghold: FUCK!

Everyone stands in the pouring rain. Silo clutching the phone charm she got from her deceased sister.

Silo: So... What now?

Stronghold: She was our guardian... Without her... we're going to the state.

Komodo: No. I'm next in line.

Silverback: You sure?

Komodo: They aren't going to the state. I promise to make sure of that.

Serpent's Sting: Let's go everyone. We need to start getting ready for the- the funeral...

Ombre: If they can find any remaining parts- OW!

Beetle hits him upside the head with her yo-yo and the rest of the team jumps off to go back home.

Beetle: Don't say that so casually!

Ombre: My bad...

They sit on the ledge of the building under a sign that stops them from getting wet; overlooking the city that's orange in the sunset.

Beetle: Why didn't you tell me that you were going to get help?

Ombre: The element of surprise!

Beetle: Yeah, well, that wasn't a very nice surprise!

Ombre: Awww~ Was the little bug worried about me~?

Beetle: N-No! I just didn't want Caleb to not have a best friend anymore!

Ombre: You were so worried!

Beetle: Was not!

Ombre: You were so!

Beetle: You have no proof!

Ombre: So you're telling me that if I were to tell you that I'm an illusion...

Beetle swipes at his arm then glares at him.

Beetle: Not funny.

Ombre: Ok, ok. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my plan. What can I do to make it up to you?

Beetle: Never pull any stupid shit like that again.

Ombre: I can't promise that, but-

Beetle: But nothing! I thought you died, asshole!

Ombre tries to wipe the tears off Beetle's face, but she swats his hand away and wipes her eyes with a balled fist.

Ombre: Stop that before you irritate your eyes (Your... beautiful eyes).

Beetle: Fuck off...

Ombre: Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just...I didn't want you to get distracted and- and get hit, but you still got hit anyway. If I just told you then-

Beetle: I didn't expect him to blast me. I'm pretty sure no one did. But the next time you decide to just up and go like that-

Ombre: I'll tell you beforehand, I promise.

Beetle: Good.

Ombre: Hey, you free tonight?

Beetle: Yeah, why?

Ombre: I've got a surprise for you. Meet me at the skatepark later.

He gives her a kiss on the cheek and leaps off to go home.

Beetle: Hey, wait-!

Ombre: I'll be expecting to see you there!
