Today is not any other day. (Y/n) is at Marinette's house to help her make a good impression on her great-uncle. Not only that, but her uncle will be on a great food show on TV. "You'll see (Y/n). I'll say it just fine." Marinette presses the microphone button on the app. "Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette." The app translates what she said. She then began to repeat the translation, but she pronounced it wrong. "No, that's not right." She repeats it again and gets it correct. "Awesome, Marinette." (Y/n) smiled. "I'm so nervous! Do you think he'll like them?" Marinette grabs the flowers from the coffee table. "Of course he will, they're fine." (Y/n) placed her hand on Marinette's shoulder. "They can't be fine, they have to be perfect! My Mom's uncle is a super famous Chinese chef. He's very particular, so things have to be just right." Marinette explains. They heard the doorbell ring. "That's him!" Marinette goes over to open the door, but she trips. (Y/n) goes over to help Marinette up. They both go to open the door. There on the other side is Marinette's great-uncle, Wang Cheng. He bowed and greeted them in mandarin. 

"Uh, welcome Mari you're at Nette's. Uh ah, welcome to Marinette's! You're Chinese! No no no no! In Mandarin!" Marinette tries to greet him in mandarin but messes up. She quickly grabs her phone as she gives the flowers to her uncle. Marinette whisper to the translator app. "Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette. Ugh, this is so lame." The app translates everything Marinette said, even the part she said it's lame. She tries to close it, as (Y/n) covers up her laughter. Once the app closed, Marinette and (Y/n) welcomed Weng Cheng inside. Seeing Marinette was in panic mode, (Y/n) quickly pulled out her phone and called Alya. She put her on speaker so Marinette could hear. "Hey, Alya, could you help us out? Marinette is freaking out about her mom's uncle. You know the one she told us about?" Marinette pulled the phone closer to her. "I don't know how to pull this off." 

Alya: Chill out Marinette, I got the solution. Just hang tight. 

Alya hangs up before Marinette could speak more. "Thank you! You're amazing. What solution?" Marinette realized that Alya had hung up. (Y/n) took her phone back and smiled at her friend. The girls sat on the sofa with Cheng Shifu as they waited patiently for Alya's help. They finally heard the doorbell ring. Marinette runs to answer it while (Y/n) follows. "Hey, Marinette! Hey, (Y/n)!" Turns out that Adrien was Alya's plan. "Hey, Adrien." (Y/n) waved. "ADRIEN!? What in the—uh—what are you—" Marinette was freaking out. "Alya called me. She said you needed someone who speaks Chinese. Well, here I am! Translator at your service." Adrien bows. "No! I mean, yes! Uh, where's Alya?" Marinette asked. The girls received a text and it was Alya who confirmed her plan. The three friends smiled at each other. 

The three teenagers were in the car with Cheng Shifu as they make their way toward the contest. As they rode in the back, Adrien was talking with Cheng Shifu. Marinette's great-uncle was really impressed with Adrien's Chinese. 

"Oh, my English very bad. Not like your Chinese." Cheng Shifu spoke. "I thought you couldn't speak English," Adrien said. "Neither did I." (Y/n) shyly raised her hand. "Uh, me too." Marinette was amazed. "Oh, no, not good. My English not good." Cheng Shifu explains. Marinette smiled as (Y/n) gave her thumbs up. 

Alec: Since our "World's Greatest Chef" contest kicked off, the best culinary masters from around the globe have been blowing our minds with their gastronomic creations.

Mayor Bourgeois goes over to greet Marinette's great-uncle. "Cheng Shifu, I am delighted and honored to have you on our final show, where you will have the chance to defeat all of the chefs who have competed thus far." Cheng Shifu smiled as he and the three teenagers walked inside. 

Alec: Only one will be awarded the title of "World's Greatest Chef." The winner's dish will become the new Mayor's Special on the Grand Paris's menu! Tell us Cheng Shifu, what dish will you be honoring our panel with today? 

Adrien translates for Cheng Shifu. 

Wang Cheng: My dish is: Celestial soup.

Alec: Wow! I've heard so much about your legendary Celestial Soup, but today we'll actually get to taste it! 

The TV broadcast ends. Adrien goes up to Cheng Shifu. "Would you like me to come with you, Cheng Shifu?" He asked. "No thank you, Adrien. Cooking needs no words." Cheng Shifu politely declines. Alec then leads him to the kitchen. Marinette and (Y/n) walked over to Adrien. "Thanks, Adrien. I'm totally sorry for bothering you for nothing. I really thought he couldn't speak English." Marinette thanked. "No problem Marinette. It was awesome to be able to practice my Chinese, especially with a Shifu." Adrien smiled. "What's a Shifu?" (Y/n) tilted her head. "That means "Master" in Chinese. Your Mom's Uncle is a great master!" He explained. Marinette smiled as (Y/n) nodded at Adrien's statement. 

Behind, a familiar voice spoke. Chloé's voice. "Oh look who it is! My favorite person, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I mean, seriously? Does your great-uncle really expect to win the contest with a SOUP!? It's not even a main dish! Please! Doesn't he know how to make sushi like everyone else?" Marinette, (Y/n), and Adrien got mad at Chloé. "Japanese people make sushi, Chloé. Cheng Shifu is Chinese!" Adrien told. "Yeah, anyone with common sense would know that! What am I saying, you don't have any!" (Y/n) crossed her arms. "Besides, he's not like "everyone else". My Great Uncle is the best chef in the world. His soup is legendary!" Marinette defends her great-uncle. "Well, I despise soup." Chloé told. "And we should care why?" (Y/n) was getting annoyed. "Didn't you know? I'm on the jury. Your uncle will not be getting my vote, for sure." Chloé bragged. "Oh yeah? Well, he doesn't need your vote to win! There are other judges with much better taste than yours. Huh, silly me, you don't have any taste! I mean, look at what you're wearing." Marinette smirked. (Y/n) didn't even bother to cover up her laugh. Chloé glared at all of them. "Ew! Don't talk about me like that. You've made a big mistake." She left angrily. 

(Y/n) walked over to her best friend and wipes the tears she got from laughing. "Nice one, Mari. Your uncle will really appreciate how you stood up for him." Marinette became doubtful. "I'm not sure. I don't think he likes me."

"Oh no, you're wrong," Adrien said. "No, I swear! He even ripped up the bouquet I gave him." Marinette told. "Cheng Shifu isn't just a chef, Marinette -- he's an artist! He told me he was gonna put flowers in his Celestial Soup. He said he improvises on faithful things that come his way. The flowers he mentioned must be the ones you gave him!" Adrien explains. "So... you think he actually likes me?" Marinette was beginning to feel hopeful. (Y/n) placed her hand on Marinette's shoulder. "Of course, he does! You guys are family!" Adrien joins in. "(Y/n) is right. He's shown you great respect in his own special way." Marinette sighs happily at her friends. 

Alec: As usual, our panel of gourmets is made up of André Bourgeois, the mayor of Paris and owner of this luxury hotel, his daughter Chloé, representing the younger generation, hot rockstar Jagged Stone and his killer crocodile Fang, and finally, the divine head chef of this very hotel, Marlena Césaire, and yours truly -- Alec!  It's time to determine the fate of Cheng Shifu's famous Celestial Soup. Let's get tasting!

The entire jury eats the soup, but Chloé just twirls her spoon inside the soup. Suddenly, Alec spits out his soup. "What IS this!?" Cheng Shifu and the three teenagers gasped. Uh, I don't think this soup would fare well with our guests! I'll give it a 3/10." Mayor Bourgeois held a plate. "Seeing as it's pretty unappetizing, maybe I'll pass on the tasting, but I'll still give it a zero!" Chloé said smugly as she held her plate. Jagged Stone spits out his soup. "Ech! It's like kissing a member from the Zombeats! Negative zero." Marlena tastes her soup and gave it a questionable look. "I'm sorry, but it's inedible. I give it 1/10." Cheng Shifu was so confused that he walked over to the table and taste the soup. He immediately spits it out. "Uch! I don't understand, I never put these ingredients in. It's a mistake. Someone sabotaged soup!" Marinette, Adrien, and (Y/n) looked worried while Chloé looked smug. Alec walks up to Cheng Shifu. "I'm sorry, Cheng Shifu, but I'm giving you a zero, too, which brings your score to 0.8/10 -- the lowest so far. Celestial Soup will therefore not be in the hotel's menu this year, and you will not be named "World's Greatest Chef"!"

When the show was over, Chloe got up, but Marinette and (Y/n) noticed a flower petal fall from her. "You say that right?" (Y/n) leans toward her friend. "Yeah, but this isn't right, and I'm certain Chloé's got something to do with it," Marinette said. "I'd like to say you're wrong, but I know her only too well." Adrien agreed. Marinette walked over to her great-uncle. "Uncle Cheng? I'm sure it's not your fault. In fact, I know it's not. I'm pretty sure Chloé's behind this. It was actually because of me. I provoked her, and—" Cheng Shifu cuts her off. "Shame is on Celestial Soup. I shall never be "World's Greatest Chef"!" Marinette calls out to him. "No! Uncle Cheng!" Adrien walked up to her. "It's horrible to lose face in China." (Y/n) hugged her friend. "Come on. We'll wait for him downstairs." Adrien and (Y/n) walked Marinette downstairs as they comfort her. 

Once they were downstairs, Adrien and (Y/n) continued to comfort Marinette. They waited for Cheng Shifu, but they saw somewhere weird. They saw a cameraman running away in a panic. A projector comes out to reveal a new villain, Kung Food. 

Kung Food:  Not polite to leave table without permission. Cut off all exits!

Adrien was angry while (Y/n) and Marinette was worried about the situation. Some of Kung Food's henchmen pour vats of caramel down the sides of the hotel. Adrien goes over to try to push open the door, but they were stuck. He bends down and examines the sticky liquid. "What the heck is that?" (Y/n) was confused and weirded out. "Caramel?" Adrien takes a quick taste. "Mmm. It might taste good but it's totally indestructible. Looks like we're trapped inside." 

"My Great Uncle is still upstairs!" Marinette was worried. "Don't worry, I'll find him." Adrien went to go look for Cheng Shifu. "I'll go the other way to see if there's a way out." (Y/n) told Marinette as she left. "Thanks. I'll... look for a way out of here..." Marinette stepped to the side. Once (Y/n) found a good hiding spot, Bitz flew out of her hair. "Man, I was hoping to try some delicious food today!" Bitz whines "Later, Bitz. Now it's time to transform!" (Y/n) exclaims. "Bitz, fly in the night!" 

(Y/n) begins to transform as Bitz enters her choker. It reveals a glowing bat with five pieces on it. (Y/n) crosses her hands over her face as she claps her hands together as her light purple suit morphs around her. She places her hands on her head as bat ears appear and putting her (h/c) hair in a high bun with two strip of hair in the front. A light purple, tessen fan that is similar to a bats wing appears in her hand as she slashes the air and poses with the tessen in front with her as her other hand was crossed over her stomach. 

Chiroptera runs out of her hiding place and was quickly greeted by Ladybug and Cat Noir. The three were confused about how they all got inside. "I don't know about you, m'lady, and batty, but I'm a bit hungry." Cat Noir joked. "Way to think with your stomach, CN," Chiroptera smirked. "Let's go eat then. Shall we?" Ladybug said. The three ran off, but they didn't know that they were being watched by Kung food. Cat Noir tries to open the elevator, but no luck. "Ugh! It's jammed!" He groans. Suddenly, one of Kung Food's projectors comes from behind. 

Kung Food: Ladybug! Cat Noir! Chiroptera! You soon have privilege to be ingredients in Kung Food's soup. But first — you taste my special of the day! 

The elevator door opens to reveal Jagged Stone with a seafood sword. "Seafood appetizers." 

"It's Jagged Stone!" Chiroptera pointed. "Seafood? This scampi happening. Let's see if you can carry a tuna!" Cat Noir joked. "Dude, really?" Chiroptera gave him a deadpan look. "Look out!" Ladybug warned as the three of them jumped away as Jagged Stone swung at them. "That's not very "rock and roll" of you, Jagged Stone." Cat Noir said. "Rock is one thing, soup is another. When I'm done with you, you'll be nothing but minced meat!" Jagged charged at them. They fought him off. Cat Noir was distracting him by using his staff. Chiroptera quickly used her tessen fan to get the seafood sword off of Jagged's hand. Finally, Ladybug used her yo-yo to throw Jagged Stone into a closet. The trio fist bump at their small victory. "Good job." Cat Noir praised the heroines. "There's no time to lose! Chloé might just be the main dish! And we better not wait to find out!" Ladybug exclaims. "Lead the way, LB," Chiroptera smirked. They all ran toward the elevator. 

"Ladybug, come on. It's just you and me together....along with Chiroptera. We could go places." Cat Noir flirts with Ladybug. Chiroptera. groans in annoyance and bonked him on the head. "The only place for us to go is up, CN."  Cat Noir finished rubbing his head as Ladybug giggled. "Exactly! We've got nowhere to go but up!" Suddenly the elevator short circuits. The trio stumbles. "Way to jinx, Cat Noir!" Chiroptera glared. Cat Noir quickly goes over to push on the buttons, but nothing works. "I think the electricity between us short-circuited the elevator." 

"You wish. More like us getting ourselves into a sticky situation." Ladybug rolled her eyes. Suddenly the elevator doors finally opened to reveal Mayor Bourgeois with his own food weapon. "Royal hotpot with its giant string of smoked sausages!" He swings his weapon around."Is this supposed to be a battle or a food fight?" Chiroptera questioned. "I prefer my sausages with mashed potatoes." Cat Noir jest. They charged at Mayor Bourgeois. They tried to dodge his food whip, but he was able to grab them and find them in a hotel suite. "Welcome to the world-famous Suite 36 of this hotel." Mayor Bourgeois said. "If we're not careful, we'll be the mashed potatoes!" Ladybug warned as her partners were terrified about that statement. "You're no competition, Ladybug." Mayor Bourgeois charges at them. Chiroptera and Cat Noir try to fight him off, but they were captured by his food whip. Before he could grab their miraculous, Ladybug called out to them. "You've got the wrong superhero, Bourgeois! I bet you don't know how to do this." She does a few moves with her yo-yo. "Really, Ladybug?" Mayor Bourgeois tried to copy her, but his weapon got stuck on a chandelier. He pulls it off, but the chandelier falls onto him, with his weapon trapping him. The trio goes up to him. "Man, this guy is dumb." Chiroptera laughed. "Nice work, my lady. Shall we go and find the head chef?" Cat Noir told. 

Cat Noir used his staff to get him and his partners to the next floor. Now, they were in the dining hall. "We're almost there," Ladybug said. "Great. All this fighting has made me hungry!" Cat Noir smiled. "For once, I agree with you, CN." Chiroptera patted her stomach. They heard Kung Food again from the projector. 

Kung Food: Kung Food is generous. No need to choose between cheese and dessert, you get to have both!

The elevator bell rings to reveal Alec and Marlena with their own food weapons. "Watch the spectacular demonstration of the famous thousand flying cakes!" Alec got his cheese weapon ready. Marlena charges the trio with her sweet bow and arrows. "Oh ho! Our guests seem to have a few tricks up their sleeves, but how will they fare against the blinding stinging cheese bombs!" Alec shoots his cheese bombs at them. The trio tried their best to fight them off. Chiroptera used her tessen fan to get the arrows away from Ladybug. Chiroptera quickly pushed Cat Noir out of the way and the cheese bomb hit her. "Ah! My eyes! This cheese does sting!" Chiroptera tries to wipe her eyes. Seeing her friend hurt, Ladybug leads Marlena to Alex. Marlena accidentally hits Alec with her arrows, while he accidentally hit her with his cheese bombs. The trio was able to wind. Ladybug gave Chiroptera her tessen fan back. "I think it's about time we got to the second course." The trio quickly took the elevator to Kung Food. 

Once they got there, Cat Noir uses his staff to cut Chloé rope and Chiroptera was able to save her. "Chiroptera, what took you so long!? Just wait until I tell everyone—"Had enough of her complaining, Chiroptera dropped Chloé on purpose. "Oops, my bad." She didn't feel bad at all.

"Oh no! My Brat Soup will be so flavorless." Kung Food growled. "I know you're more honorable than this, Cheng Shifu!" Ladybug tried to reason with him. "I am not Cheng Shifu, I am Kung Food — the Greatest Chef in the World! And nobody will stop me from finishing my Brat Soup!" Kung Food pulls out batons. "Get back Chloé!" Ladybug orders and Chloé quickly runs off. "I take care of you two myself!" Kung Food charges at them. The trio fights off Kung Food the best they can. Chiroptera and Ladybug were able to take away Kung Food's weapons. 

"Echo!" Chiroptera summons her power. She throws the glowing orb and saw wave signals only she could see. Chiroptera could see the different types of food weapons Kung Food will pull out. She quickly heads to Cat Noir to help fight him off. "Cat Noir! Chiroptera! The Akuma must be in his chef's hat! Try to grab it!" Ladybug exclaims. Before Cat Noir could grab it, Chiroptera could see that Kung Food grabbing some powder. She pulls Cat Noir away and gets hit with the red powder. "Ow! Not again!" Chiroptera rubs her eyes. "Haha! Like it spicy?" Kung Food taunts. "Lucky Charm!" Ladybug summons her power and the object appears. "A... check?" 

"And I think it's gonna be a steep one." Cat Noir said. Chiroptera was able to get all the powder out of her eyes. Kung Food pulls out a Pizza Sword. The trio gasped. "You think you can beat me with a piece of paper!?" Kung Food taunted. "Says the guy who's been fighting us with nothing but food." Chiroptera crossed her arms. Kung Food got angry and swung at them. As they fought, Ladybug was thrown to the other side. Chiroptera and Cat Noir try to fight him off as Ladybug looks around. She got an idea when she dips the check into the soup. She was able to use it and capture Kung Food. "Cat Noir, all his weapons come from his bag. Destroy it." Ladybug instructed. "Got it. Cataclysm!" Cat Noir summons his power. He quickly destroys the bag. Kung Food falls in defeat. Ladybug picks up the hat and rips it. The Akuma flies out.

"Your days are over little Akuma!" Ladybug opens the yo-yo. "Time to de-evilize!" She catches the Akuma. "Gotcha! Bye-bye, little butterfly." She released the now purified butterfly. "Miraculous Ladybug!" She throws her Lucky Charm in the air and everything is restored. Kung Food is back in Cheng Shifu. He looks up to be greeted by the heroes who saved him from Hawk Moth's grasp. 

Once everything is back to normal, Cheng Shifu was given a second chance to make his Celestial Soup. Marinette goes over and brings him more flowers. "Could you teach me how to make Celestial Soup, Cheng Shifu?" She asked. "With pleasure, Marinette." He takes the flowers and happily showed his great-niece how to make the soup. Not far from them, Adrien and (Y/n) smiled at Marinette and her great-uncle. "Cooking needs no words," Adrien said. "Well said, Adrien." (Y/n) nods in agreement. Chloé walks in from behind them. "Seriously? Still, making soup? I told you I hate soup! You think the jury is going to approve of this?" 

"Chloé, weren't you kicked off the jury by your father?" (Y/n) questioned, smugly. "No, he didn't! I... er... I... resigned." Chloé lied. "I think Cheng Shifu and Marinette have got this covered. Why don't we let the real jury decide?" Adrien remarked at Chloé. "Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" Chloé leaves angrily. (Y/n) laughs and gives Adrien a victory high-five. 

"The World's Greatest Chef" contest was back on as the real jury was tasting Cheng Shifu's Celestial Soup. "Cheng Shifu's delicious Celestial Soup has received the highest marks overall, making you the final winner!" Alec exclaims. Hearing this, (Y/n), Adrien, and Marinette looked at each other and applaud Cheng Shifu. Mayor Bourgeois tasted the soup. "Ah, and it will soon be the Mayor's Special on the restaurant menu of my prestigious hotel!" Jagged Stone finished his soup. "Rock n' Roll! I can't wait to get home and write a song about soup!" Marlena happily agreed. Cheng Shifu bowed down. "Thank you, but no longer Celestial Soup. Now called: Marinette Soup." 

Adrien and (Y/n) were happy for Marinette since her great-uncle renamed his famous soup after her. Marinette smiled happily and thanked her uncle in Mandarin. "You're welcome." Cheng Shifu smiled back. "Come over here and stand alongside your uncle, the "World's Greatest Chef"!" Alec said to Marinette. Adrien and (Y/n) happily encouraged her. Once she stood next to her uncle, they both hugged. By the end of the day, everyone was enjoying the delicious Marinette Soup made by the World's Greats Chief
