**Tamboy Arc** is the start of the Monarch Saga and the First Arc of the GCverse (Part 2), in which PepsiMan meets a man named "Tamboy". Both men become friends throughout this arc, however a dark secret will cause them to become enemies.

## Prelude

PepsiMan had finally defeated CokeMan, but at the same time also defeated Coca Cola by freeing CokeMan from them. However PepsiMan knew CokeMan would come back for revenge so he decided to train and get stronger so, whenever CokeMan came back, he would be ready to defeat him again. The days passed, the pages of the calendar flew by until one day PepsiMan met someone.

## Tell-A-Story

Like any other day, PepsiMan was training by himself on some desolated area of the city he lived on, lifting, ducking, flexing, etc. paying full attention to his surroundings at all times in-case CokeMan decided to show up while he was training, something he had already done before, but nothing happened. He continued as usual until he was done, he picked up his things and as he was ready to leave he noticed something, there was a man sitting on a bench looking at him.

His hair was white as snow as well as his eyes which stared at the soda like a hawk staring at its prey however the aura around him didn’t leave a single scent of malicious intent behind. “What do you want” asked PepsiMan trying to give the impression he knew since the start of the presence of the mysterious man, but as the soda saw the man didn’t respond he gave up on that and just asked — “Who are you?!”. “Oh! You’re talking to me?” — Yelled the man — “My bad, I didn’t realize you were talking to me. Hah I thought I was imagining voices!” PepsiMan was confused, the man stood up and approached him, said man stood at a very similar height as Pepsi’s, possibly reaching 6’0; he was wearing a very expensive-looking white  outfit with a few touches of light mint that were almost indistinguishable from the white parts of his clothes. “I apologize for my poor manners, my name is Tamboy Zere” — said the man while placing his right hand on his chest — “Glad to meet you mister…?” — he continued while extending his arm as to shake hands with the mondrian, “PepsiMan” he answered, shaking Tamboy’s hand.

The mond and monarch would exchange words and both would find out they actually shared a very similar goal, to get stronger. They would become friends, sparring with eachother quite often in order to get stronger and teaming up to defeat any adversities that they came across. After some time passed Tamboy had became quite the often visitor, spending more and more time with PepsiMan. One day however they decided to talk about their reasons to get stronger, PepsiMan started.

*“Well, there’s a group of people I’m in charge of, they’re like… my family, you know?”* — The soda continued — *“I want to protect them, that’s why I fear the day my enemies become stronger than me.”* — The monarch was looking at PepsiMan with a slight smile in his face — *“What a noble cause you have”. “What’s your reason?”* — Replied the soda, to which the man laughed and said — “Ah… I wish my intentions were as pure as yours” — He stared into the endless blue sky with a warm smile still drawn in his face, there were no clouds in sight, just pure clarity, just pure sincerity.

The Soda was speechless, what he had heard was horrible. Suddenly the warm smile on Tamboy’s face turned into a macabre smile even though it had not changed in the slightest. *“Th-“* were the only words that could come out of the Mondrian’s mouth, as Pepsi slowly backed away the monarch turned around to look at him. *“What’s wrong?”* — said Tamboy with a genuinely confused face. *“You’re j-”* but the Mond was interrupted — *“No, I am not. Why would I? Hah”* — PepsiMan was petrified. The man standing before him was no gentleman, he was just a sociopath and for what it seemed he was just one of many.

The attitude of PepsiMan upset Tamboy. The both of them would argue until PepsiMan decided he had enough and decided to leave. *— “I will not participate in this sick freak stuff of yours”* — said the soda, the man yelled at him but the soda responded *— “Next time we see each other, it’ll most definitely be the time I’ll stop you and your people!” —* The Monarch threatened with killing him if he intervened in any way, but the soda would just ignore those statements and walk away.

He was home now, millions of doubts ran through his mind, Pepsi thought about telling Coal but then he remembered he had left to take care of his parents on the other side of the country. He sat down in the living room's sofa, still thinking about what Tamboy had told him.

> *"Could such a thing really exist?"* — He thought to himself — *"I guess he did mention it was a myth...".* He stayed silent as something else entered his mind *— "Shit... He did mention Dodona said it"*

If even Dodona herself had confirmed this, then it meant he had to do something about it. But how?

(here on it's the raw material without reworking)

*Tamboy was analyzing the situation. He had made a miscalculation, he trusted PepsiMan a little bit too much and now there might be consequences. But he was decided, he was going to kill the soda before it could do anything. **None would stand in his father’s way**. There was one problem though, another miscalculation if you will, Tamboy had truly left his guard down against PepsiMan and now the soda stood as an actual threat to him, so he went to search for help and who would be a better choice than CokeMan.*

*Tamboy went meet up with CokeMan and would have a talk with him, both would agree to team up against PepsiMan however CokeMan wasn’t fully convinced so he investigated Tamboy and what he found out would make him immediately change his decision, however he would not communicate this with the monarch and instead immediately go with PepsiMan to inform him about Tamboy’s plan, and so he did.*

*“We have a week to prepare” said CokeMan “We got enough time to get stronger!” he claimed, but the silhouette of a man standing in the roofs disagreed, his energy blinding both monds. His energy was so intense it made Tamboy appear twice his size on the Mondrians’ point of view.”I didn’t know there were 2 monds in the menu today”. As soon as CokeMan and PepsiMan turned around the fight began.*

*Tamboy launched himself towards the sodas, he did so with such force the house he was standing on was blasted away. Both sodas blocked the monarch’s attack however they still went flying due to the absolute force they were hit with, PepsiMan got back up a bit confused on where he was standing; he felt the wind hit his skin with strength until suddenly it calmed down though it felt like he was floating for a moment, that is because he was sent off flying all the way up to the stratosphere when he was still lying on the debris, Pepsi then began falling.*

*Back down on earth CokeMan was already back up fighting Tamboy by himself, they were interchanging punches however while each hit the monarch delivered hurt like a truck Coke’s attacks didn’t seem to make Tamboy even flinch, CokeMan noticed the white haired man kept periodically looking up trying to anticipate PepsiMan’s comeback so he tried overwhelming Tamboy in order to draw his attention away from the soda but he was quickly punched away by the monarch, the latter one immediately turning around and raising his hands to block PepsiMan’s fists; The soda had reduced its arrival time by using the debris to impulse himself downwards, he aimed his fists against Tamboy but the monarch would successfully catch him by the fists, the impact caused Tamboy to move backwards but he would use what was left of momentum to, while still holding PepsiMan, turn around and dunk him into the ground.*

*Tamboy still flew a few meters away due to all the kinetic energy, quickly recovering by punching the floor while still in the air to redirect most of said energy upwards rather than forwards so once in the floor he could hold onto the pavement and fully stop himself, the monarch then used the stance he was on to propel himself back into action. CokeMan who quickly followed PepsiMan and Tamboy was about to check on PepsiMan but he was stopped by the man in white who had punched him on the legs making the soda trip, Tamboy then cracked the pavement with his fingers so he could hold into it again and right before CokeMan hit the floor the Monarch grabbed him by the foot and launched him into one of the buildings Tamboy then put his attention back on PepsiMan however as he was turning around the latter one had a fist ready for him going to the monarch’s face. That punch made Tamboy’s nose bleed a little, which the latter only reacted to with a sigh.*

*The fight resumed with Tamboy punching PepsiMan on the stomach [CONTINUE]*

**There's still more raw material, however, it's so incomplete and subject to so many changes I believe it wouldn't be readable at all.**
