## **Story**

Monbo first appears with two followers, E'Kjo and Deli. She asks them if they've found Daniel Kravitz. Neither has.

As the two squabble, Monbo tells them that the monsters can't fight among themselves any longer. They have all lost someone to Daniel Kravitz, her losses being her children, and he must be stopped. She dismisses the truce with the old U.L.P. and Kali's rules that have kept her from seeking revenge sooner. With no sign either is still in effect, she vows to kill Daniel. When asked how she'll find him, she says she'll have to do it herself ("Mind If I Smoke?").

Monbo didn't know the details of her children's death, and their bodies were never returned to her. She only knew that Daniel killed them, and that's all she cared about, besides taking her revenge on Daniel and the U.L.P. he worked for ("Words You Don't Want to Hear").

Monbo later hears of another group of monsters organizing. She and Deli go to them and invite them to join her cause. Joey the Gnome resists, asking Monbo to serve him instead. Deli cuts off Joey's head and the rest pledge to serve Monbo.

Monbo likes to be dramatic and employ the slow clap ("...And Sprinkles On Top").

Over the next few months, Monbo was successful at building her army. The other residents of the Subworld either fell in line or went into hiding. If they didn't do either, they suffered severe penalties, and those living there came to fear her ("Deceit of Clay").

Monbo captures Alexis Augustus Armentrout in the Subworlds and had him tortured for killing her friend, Deli. Unfortunately, the torturer, Dunuld Drag, helped Alexis escape and fled with him. However, she didn't need information from Alexis, as she already knew where the U.L.P. ranch was and how to attack it, so his escape only prevented her from killing him. Monbo also already knew about Alexis' wife and daughter, and how he'd kept them secretly in the Subworlds for years ("Words You Don't Want to Hear").

Just before her attack on the ranch, Monbo sends Marta and E'Kjo to meet with Daniel Kravitz and kill the Chosen One and any of his best people that might happen to be with them. The two fail and E'Kjo dies ("Maneuvers").

Monbo arrives at the ranch to find Stephanie Garcia and B.J. McKibben on guard duty ("A Chosen One Walks Into a Bar"). She leaves others to fight them and looks for Daniel Kravitz. Along the way, she encounters Dawn Vaughn, whom she murders with a large dagger after Dawn doesn't know where Daniel is, Monbo calling her a waste of time.

The next time we see Monbo during the battle is when she orders her army to halt (magically amplifying her voice), then strides forward none-the-worse-for-wear to confront the now-exhausted Daniel. She reveals that Daniel and his friends murdered her children some time ago, whose loss her husband (who raised the boys) never recovered from, which motivated her to build this army. Monbo has convinced herself that monsters only kill humans when provoked. She laughs at the notion that the Ultimate Evil may have sent her. When Daniel claims he was merely defending himself, she says he's always defending himself and monsters suffer from it, an endless cycle of suffering that she is there to stop. She refuses to talk out their difference, saying that she and Daniel will fight to the death one-on-one, and if it's not fair that he's tired, well, none of this has been fair.

**Monbo** raises her claws, ready to fight, but Daniel simply blows her unconscious with a quick Stun Wave. Then Abby Reynolds strides forward and drives a sword through Monbo's neck, killing her. Monbo's army attacks, furious at the injustice, but are eventually defeated ("With Great Power...").
