Miraculous
Chapter 11: Lila’s Evildoing
(In Paris, Lila stares out her window. Mrs. Rossi comes in.)
MRS. ROSSI: Hey, Lila.
(Lila doesn’t look at her.)
MRS. ROSSI: I know you’ve been dishonest with me about so much. And I think it’s important that we talk about it.
LILA: I suppose, but not now.
MRS. ROSSI: I see. I’ve gotta go. Ciao, mi bella.
(Mrs. Rossi leaves. Lila glances back, then smirks. She jumps out of her window to the street right outside her house. Later, she arrives at an alley.)
LILA: Alright. Whoever you guys are, you can come out now.
(Evelyn Deavor, Morag, Smek, Velvet, Shelbourne, Henry J. Waternoose, Randall Boggs, Johnny Worthington, Victor “Vector” Perkins, Eduardo “El Macho” Perez, Balthazar Bratt, Scarlet and Herb Overkill, the Vicious Six, and Bela step out of the shadows.)
LILA: Ah, fellow villains, I see?
EVELYN: I’m Evelyn Deavor. My do-good brother created DEVTech and brought Supers back into the light. I attempted to keep them illegal by making them look bad with hypnotism. My alter-ego was the Screenslaver.
MORAG: I’m Morag. I was the rightful ruler of Scotland, and then the Loud family ruined it for me!
SMEK: I am Smek. I was captain of the Boov race until Oh became the first Boov to run toward the danger, toward a Gorg ship, and took over.
VELVET: I’m Velvet. My brother and I were music stars who used Trolls to boost our singing, until that little scab Queen Poppy and her boyfriend exposed us and got us arrested!
SHELBOURNE: I’m Shelbourne. I was the mayor of Swallow Falls. But then Flint Lockwood and his food machine saved the town.
WATERNOOSE: I’m Henry J. Waternoose. I was the CEO of Monsters, Incorporated, before James P. Sullivan exposed that I would kidnap a thousand children and extract their screams to keep Monstropolis’ power running before I’d let the company die.
RANDALL: I’m Randall Boggs. The second-best Scarer in the business. So close behind Sullivan. I also made the Scream Extractor to assist Waternoose’s scheme.
JOHNNY: I am Johnny Worthington III, president of Roar Omega Roar. Boggs and I attempted to work together to make Laugh Power look bad to stick it to Sullivan. Unfortunately, my assistant ratted us out.
VECTOR: I’m Victor Perkins. I call myself Vector. After I stole the Pyramid of Giza, Gru tried to one-up me by stealing the moon.
EL MACHO: Yo soy Eduardo Perez, aka El Macho. I once worked with Agent Gru’s scientist to make indestructible killing machines out of his Minions.
BRATT: I’m Balthazar Bratt. I was a star on an 80’s TV show, Evil Bratt.
(Bratt shows Lila the end of an episode of the show.)
BRATT: (simultaneously with his younger self) I’ve been a bad boy!
LILA: Huh.
BRATT: But then Hollywood rejected me once I hit puberty and had a growth spurt.
MR. PERKINS: I’m Vector’s father, Mr. Perkins, the owner of the Bank of Evil.
MAXIME: I am Maxime Le Mal. I’ve wanted to get my revenge on Gru since he upstaged me at the Lycée Pas Bon 9th grade talent show by kidnapping his baby.
VALENTINA: And then you two made up and sang in front of the whole AVL Prison. I’m Maxime’s girlfriend, Valentina, Captain of the Femme Fatale Gym Squad at Lycée Pas Bon, and the most popular girl there.
ÜBELSCHLECHT: I’m Principal Übelschlecht of Lycée Pas Bon.
SCARLET: I am Scarlet Overkill, the world’s first female supervillain. I wanted to overthrow England and have the crown for myself, but the Minions betrayed me. But one did hand me his little crown, so that makes up for it.
HERB: I’m Scarlet’s husband and master of gadgetry, Herb.
BELLE: I’m Belle Bottom. Leader of the Vicious Six.
JEAN-CLAWED: Jean-Clawed.
SVENGEANCE: Svengeance.
STRONGHOLD: Stronghold.
NUN-CHUCK: And Nun-Chuck.
LILA: Isn’t that only five of you?
BELLE: Wild Knuckles. He was our leader, before we abandoned him after we sent him to steal the Zodiac Stone for us.
BELA: I am Bela. Normally, I don’t work with humans, but any enemy of Dupain-Cheng is an ally of mine.
AUSTIN: And I’m Austin Holden, aka ASLB247. I once tried to reveal Ladybug and Cat Noir’s identities at a panel and was humiliated by them for it.
(Meanwhile, Hawk Moth’s lair window opens.)
HAWK MOTH: Ooh. An embarrassed fan who wishes to reveal Ladybug and Cat Noir? Easy akuma prey.
(A white butterfly lands in his open hand. He turns it into an akuma and sends it out.)
HAWK MOTH: Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!
(The akuma flutters over the city and eventually reaches Austin’s sword.)
LILA: Check it out, Austin. An akuma.
AUSTIN: Hawk Moth, I am Austin Holden. Ladybug and Cat Noir’s Miraculous you want? Their Miraculous you’ll get.
HAWK MOTH: And you will be able to track them down as The Huntsman.
(The purple akuma smoke engulfs him, then dissipates, revealing him now wearing his Huntsman cosplay.)
LILA: Ooh, cool look. Villains, round out!
(The villains surround Lila, having elected her as their undisputed leader.)
LILA: We are gonna fight hard for this territory and it’s ours. But with these mouth-breathing fools serving as cover, we won’t get it.
SMEK: As of now, Adrien and his group have already tried one attempt to get Marinette back. They are in the midst of making another, but no matter how much they try, she’ll never be convinced.
LILA: Nice. Meanwhile, we’re here about to make this city our own. Small turf, I know, but it’s all we’ve got. I wanna hold this city with skin! I say I want us evil folk to sail, to hold the sky!
VECTOR: Then rev us off. Voom-va voom!
VELVET: Chung-chung!
RANDALL: Cracko, jacko!
EVELYN: Pam-pam!
BRATT: Riga-diga-dum!
LILA: OK, fellas, we’re taking this city!
LILA: (SINGING) When you’re evil, you’re evil all the way From your first felony ‘till your last dying day When you’re evil, let them do what they can You’ve got brothers around, you’re a family man You’re never alone, you’re never disconnected You’re home with your own when company’s expected, you’re well protected Then you are set with a capital V Which you’ll never forget, like the birds and the bees When you’re evil, you stay evil
LILA: Now, contrary to Smek, I’m taking a wild step in the dark that Marinette will be back eventually, but by then, we’ll have taken over. Too late for them.
SHELBOURNE: Of course.
EL MACHO: So what is your idea?
VELVET: It won’t be easy taking this city over.
LILA: No sweat. You guys are some of the strongest villains in the multiverse, and these guys give in to anything. Just scare them and you’re on top.
HUNTSMAN: Great!
MORAG: Then this will be good.
BRATT: Operation Take Over Paris begins!
VECTOR: Oh, yeah!
RANDALL: When you’re evil, you are most feared in town You’re the gold medal champ with a heavyweight crown
EVELYN: When you’re evil, you’re the swingin’-est thing Little boy, you’re a man, little man, you’re a king
VILLAINS: The villains are in gear, our cylinders are clicking Those freaks will steer clear, ‘cause every Parisian’s a lousy chicken
(They walk through the city, scaring civilians as they go.)
VILLAINS: Here come the villains, like a bat out of Hell Someone gets in our way, someone don’t feel so well We are villains, little world, step aside Better go underground, better run, better hide We’re drawing the line, so keep your noses hidden We’re hanging a sign, says, “Visitors forbidden”, and we ain’t kidding Here come the villains, and we’re gonna beat every last peasant on these dirty bugging streets Each peasant on these dirty bugging streets
LILA: Alright, villains, let’s get to work!
