Miraculous: The Exceed Phoenix Saga

Ep. 4: A Rock and a Banana

(Note: This takes place immediately after the previous episode. Not only is this Queen Banana's first appearance in this story, this is also the debut of Exceed Phoenix Terra. Anyway, enjoy!)

Shortly after Tsukihime's defeat, Queen Moth created another Akuma, one she could use on Chloe Bourgeois. "That broken heart shall be mine! Go, my little Akuma, and evilize her!" With the Akuma going after Chloe, Queen Moth decided to go after it, but she had to detransform in order to do so.

Once the Akuma reached Chloe's place, it Akumatized the hat she was wearing. "What's going on?", asked Chloe.

"Hello, Queen Banana. I am Queen Moth.", replied Queen Moth. "I heard that your heart had been shattered in so many pieces. Well, I'm giving back your powers so that you gain revenge on Ladybug and Cat Noir."

"Don't worry, they'll know I'm coming."

"Oh, and one more thing: Keep your guard up for the Exceed Phoenix."

Shortly after the battle with Tsukihime, Felix began to wonder about Sabrina. "Yeah, about that. Sabrina is Chloe's best friend, but their friendship began to fracture after she left for New York." Marinette explained. "It got worse after she came back."

"How do you know all of this?", asked Felix.

"Oh, Zoe told me all about it.", replied Marinette. "She and Chloe are half-sisters."

"Okay then."

As they were talking, the Phoenix Miraculous started detecting a Akuma. "Just when I'm done with Queen Moth, I get another one.", quipped Felix.

"Let me guess, another Akuma?", asked Marinette.

"Yep.", replied Felix. "And it's just right after we defeated Tsukihime. Something tells me this is Queen Moth's Plan B."

"I'll call Adrien, then we'll deal with the villain once we catch up to you."

"Deal."

And so, Marinette did. Meanwhile, Felix had transformed ahead of time in order to find Queen Banana, except he did not know where Chloe's place was. While all of this was taking place, Queen Banana was given by Tornadus her Lens of Despair. This allowed her to summon Banana Boom-Boom, her sentimonster, an unusual thing that the Lens could do.

Much like last time, Queen Banana started turning people into bananas, laughing maniacally as she does so. This prompted the arrival of the Exceed Phoenix, who immediately started attacking. Lucky for him, the shield can deflect all kinds of attacks.

"Banana Boom-Boom, attack him!", commanded Queen Banana.

The Exceed Phoenix was way too fast for Banana Boom-Boom to keep up with. But when he had caught up to him, Banana Boom-Boom grabbed him by the legs, and threw him to the ground.

"Oh, so you want to fight dirty, huh?", remarked Felix. "Guess what? I can rival your strength, too."

"Element Change! Ignis to Terra!"

Changing into Exceed Phoenix Terra, Felix decided to beat the Sentimonster at its own game, using the power of the Earth. "Come get some!", taunted Felix.

Meanwhile, Ladybug and Cat Noir transformed and took on Queen Banana, although it didn't come without struggle. For one, the banana that she wielded originally has been upgraded into a bow gun, meaning she could turn people into bananas much faster. As for Banana Boom-Boom, the bananas on his belt now have the destructive power of a hand-grenade, and carries with him an axe.
