As they passed Gigantitan, their next battle became apparent. Darkblade and Riposte stood confidently atop the Eifell tower, ready for their fight with the heroes of Paris. Pegasus and King monkey nodded in understanding. This is their match. The knights are going down. As the last five heroes run to the gates of the Agreste mansion, Pegasus uses voyage to take him and king monkey in between the two akumatized villains.

"Boo, didn't expect that did you?" King monkey taunts the two villains as he steps through the portal.

"King monkey. Now is not the time to taunt our opponents." Pegasus commands as he dodges the weapon attached Riposte.

After losing her footing, a look of disgust is written across Riposte's face at the improper fencing technique that caused her to make such an amateur mistake. Angry that this happened, she strikes again at the horse-themed superhero. Seeing the battle raging behind King monkey. Darkblade goes to strike at him, only for the monkey-themed superhero to leap behind him and kick him in the back.

"UPROAR!" King monkey commands, throwing a banana in the direction of Darkblade, disrupting the accuracy of his attacks.

"Why are you fighting us? You 'should' be fighting Hawkmoth. What made you so upset that you got akumatized?" Pegasus questions the villains they are fighting.

"Adrian didn't come to his fencing practice. He said he would come to this one. He promised he would be there early. Now he must pay for the broken promise of the sacred art of fencing!" Riposte announced.

"A student who refuses to come to practice is doomed to fail. I can not allow that to happen!" Darkblade responds as he tries to attack King monkey, only for him to fall on his face again.

'Why wouldn't he go. He had plenty of time to be there early? He would never miss a practice.' King monkey thinks confusedly, "Did you both hit your heads one too many times or something, as the famous Adrian Agreste is never late and would never disobey his father." He rants, trying to get them to see reason and possibly get them to join their side.

"King monkey, it's a waste of time trying to get through to them. Hawkmoth 'clearly' wants them to make Adrian pay for something so simple as being a child like everybody else his age." Pegasus states

"Riposte. Darrkblade. Ignore them. They are trying to get under your skin. They know NOTHING about what is right for Adrian!" Hawkmoth commands telepathically to his two victims.

"It's working, just as Chat Noir and Ladybug said. Keep going." Pegasus whispers to King monkey as they continue to 'aggravate' Hawkmoth whilst defending themselves from the attacks from both Riposte and Darkblade.

"Black and white are so out of fashion. It's all about red and green now. I thought you knew that? But I guess villains don't know that. If you really want a fight. Shouldn't you be fighting each other? That is how chess works. Right?" King monkey taunts, making the moth aura around the villains' faces more constant and the attacks more forced and unnatural, as Hawkmoth tries to get them to quit it with the taunts.
