Chương 621: Chapter 621: The Monarch Brothers
"Whoa, it's actually so old acquaintances."
Kira sized up the two mighty Monarchs blocking his path from both ends, his eyes lighting up.
Monarch spirits—now that was a rare and precious thing.
After all, Monarch cards themselves belonged to the rare series; spirits were even more elusive.
Kira had already collected all the Monarch series available in the current environnt, so he didn't lack the cards themselves. But as for spirits, he only had one so far—Caius the Shadow Monarch—and it had been warming the bench for a while now, almost relegated to being the water boy of his internal spirit team.
But now, upon seeing his two peers appear, Caius imdiately sensed the aura and floated out in his spirit form, hovering behind Kira.
"Whoa, I didn't expect to run into them in a place like this."
He paused, sounding rather pleased.
"Hey, when they join us later, I'll have to set the record straight and show them who's boss."
As the saying goes, when in Ro, do as the Romans do. Having followed Kira for a while, Caius seed to have adopted this mindset—he had only just t Thunder and Frost Monarch a few seconds ago, but already assud they'd be his own people soon enough.
Neither Caius nor any of the other spirits in the team found this odd; it just seed natural.
After all, their opponents were villains, and yet they so brazenly brought their own spirits to block their master's way. Wasn't that basically putting a "hit " sign on their necks?
All that was missing was a placard on their necks saying "delivery man."
"As expected, you took the bait—Revolver."
Two n appeared one after the other in the narrow tunnel, standing beside Frost Monarch and Thunder Monarch. One had purple hair, the other wore a hat and looked every bit the villain.
"My na is Thunder." 1
"I am Frost." 1
They introduced themselves in turn, then spoke in unison.
"Fate has guided the two of us here, to await your arrival. Revolver, we are the end of your destiny!"
Kira was not surprised at all by their appearance, and actually smiled with satisfaction.
"So the intel was right—there really were so Society of Light rats hiding here."
In fact, once he saw the Frost Monarch and Thunder Monarch spirits, he had already guessed as much.
Because, in the ani, these two were spirits under the Society of Light.
Actually, all four Monarch spirits appeared during the Society of Light arc in GX, and their users' nas were bluntly based on their attribute (e.g. Frost for Frost Monarch, Thunder for Thunder Monarch).
The Monarch series is already rare, and spirit versions even more so. So, running into two at once could only an these were the sa ones from the ani.
Otherwise, what are the odds? Such rare spirits, and he just happens upon two.
But Kira found their attitude amusing, and simply asked, "So, from the sound of it, you've been waiting for ?"
"Of course, Revolver. We've been waiting just for you," sneered Frost.
"This place is now sealed by the Frost-Thunder barrier—it's the Monarchs' domain. If you can't beat us, don't even think about leaving."
"I hear you've made quite a na for yourself lately," Thunder chuckled. "We brothers wanted to see just how powerful this Revolver leader is."
They exchanged a glance.
"Last ti you went first, so this ti it's my turn, right?" Thunder said to Frost.
"Tch, can't wait to snatch the credit, huh?"
Frost said in annoyance.
"This is different from last ti—I don't recall agreeing to take turns with you."
"What did you say?"
Just as the two were about to argue, Kira smiled and interrupted, "Co on, you're brothers. Why get into a fight over an outsider like ? Tell you what, don't bother with who goes first or second. I'll take you both on at once. Co together."
The two looked at each other, then grinned.
"Heh. We've heard of your arrogance, Revolver. Seems you live up to your reputation. Fine."
Thunder narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"Don't regret it."
They spread out to either side, taking their positions.
"Let's use tag mode—each side gets one turn, and on our side, we two brothers will alternate turns. Each of us will have 4000 LP. Sound good?"
That was fairly sporting. Although they took a double HP and hand/field advantage, at least they weren't trying to cheat him out of turn order.
Kira shrugged. "Fine."
He didn't really care—a mixed battle rule giving the other side an extra turn wasn't a big deal.
"Confident, are you? Then let's go."
"Duel!" x3
[Kira, LP 4000]
[Thunder, LP 4000]
[Frost, LP 4000]
"I'll go first. Draw!"
As Kira drew from his deck, the phantom of Caius the Shadow Monarch floated out behind him, grumbling.
"Not even a chance to appear, huh..."
Caius wasn't in this deck, and he sensed it, a little disgruntled.
"Ahahaha, next ti, next ti for sure."
Kira laughed it off.
"I set a monster in defense position and one face-down card. Turn end."
"Then I'll start for our side!" Thunder shouted. "My turn, draw!"
Frost shot him a glare. "Tch, just because you called it faster than ..."
The order of turns was determined randomly by the duel disk, but within their team, who went first was just a matter of agreent.
Thunder was quicker, so he grabbed the first move.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Fiend's Sanctuary'! This lets Special Summon a 'tal Fiend Token'!" 1
Kira wasn't unfamiliar—an old acquaintance. In the DM era, Kaiba had given this card to Yugi as the key to defeating the Winged Dragon of Ra.
Of course, that was back when Normal Spells could be activated during the opponent's turn, and summoning a monster on the opponent's attack declaration didn't cause battle replay. Using the tal Fiend Token's effect to reflect battle damage, you could KO Marik after he dropped to 1 LP to use Ra's effect.
Now, with proper rules, Normal Spells can't be used on the opponent's turn, so this tactic no longer works.
"Tribute the tal Fiend Token for a Tribute Summon!"
Lightning flashed in Thunder's eyes as he slamd his card down, laughing.
"Appear at this very mont—
—Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, summon!"
