Multitudes of people gathered around the alien banana that had descended from space in a fireball. It hovered in the center of the crater it created, unblemished itself. After some time, it peeled open from the top and a figure stepped out from it. The figure was tall and humanoid, and wore a peeled-banana crown. He opened his arms and displayed his banana fingers for the people to see.
With an amplified voice, he announced to the world "I am Peelfred Bananafingers. Appeal to me!" Then he zapped everyone with yellow, banana energy, and they all began bowing with a banana-peeling gesture. All except one person.
Ben Ahna stood in the corner, casually eating a banana of his own. When he finished, he folded the peel back up and threw it at Peelfred, hitting him in the head and landing right at his foot.
"Who dares assault Bananalord with the holy peel?" Peelfred blared.
"You ain't lord of nothing!" Ben replied, stepping up to the alien.
"You are quite mistaken, unripe one. I am Bananalord, and you'd do well to submit willingly. Potassium therapy is not nearly as enjoyable" Peelfred corrected Ben with a menacing grin. The people gathered around the alien banana continued their bowing.
"We'll see about that" Ben laughed, then picked up the peel and Peelfred's feet and slapped the self-proclaimed Bananalord in the face. With the alien distracted, Ben climbed into the Bananacraft, found the banana blasters suspiciously quickly, and fired them at Peelfred.
The peeled-banana crown flew off the enemy's head, and Ben caught it on his own head after swiftly exiting the craft. The crowd subtly shifted the direction of their bowing toward him. This he disregarded, but he fixed his now-banana gaze on Peelfred, and bore into him until he submitted to the new Bananalord.
From then on Ben Ahna reigned over the people of Banana Crater, and all were happy. It'd be hard work subverting the banana beacon requests being sent from the banana craft, but nothing new for Ben. Once his banana army was complete, it'd be of no concern anyway.
