After having met with the King Arctic of Beta Minor, Snow, the lowly Icejin had found out what his mission was from his liege and King Arctic's wife. Both wanted him to go to the tourney with Prince Sleet to defeat the competition there. Although many on Beta Minor may have received invitations to the fighting tourney on Alpha Prime, Snow had been told this information by his lieges in person. He wanted to go immediately, but something was off with the whole registry. The people behind the tournament had not actually sent him a physical invitation yet. So he felt it bad to intrude on the matter and just go there. Apparently, whoever hosted this event likely had more authority and power than King Arctic on Alpha Prime. If he were to go now it could possibly cause him some issues. Snow had not wanted to step on any toes so had not gone over to Alpha Prime yet even though he could see its glowing red lights from within the glass domed space module he lived in. It was an evil place yet so full of potential and he knew he would not want to miss out on this tourney. The best part was that the person had gone to great lengths to put this thing together by clearing out a large space for everyone to fight in. Whether or not this was true though was doubtful in Snow's mind. He just wanted to fight.
Fortunately, his luck turned out to be good, even though he did not realize it yet. The man behind said tourney had managed to hear of him and quite a few other contenders, so he sent out a silver sphere to search for Snow. Snow was grocery shopping at the time though so the poor sphere had to wait an hour or so in front of his white domed house until he returned. When he did return though Snow noticed the floating sphere and asked, "What are you..." as he shifted his bag full of groceries with pop-sickles inside it to the side.
"I am invitation sphere #9X73546B2J assigned to find potential contestant Snow of the Icejins and inform him that he is cordially invited to the tourney that is being hosted on Alpha Prime if your leader has not already received this message. You are to leave within the hour and register immediately for the fights. That is what the host of this universal tourney has requested of you."
Snow smiled after realizing he was indeed invited to a dangerous tournament and walked to his front door, "I would be glad to come, but if you would not mind I would like to invite a guest or two to the tournament to watch."
"That is acceptable..." the sphere answered Snow in a high pitched voice, "We have plenty of seats for spectators. NO more than two though shall accompany you though?"
Snow nodded at the sphere and shifted his bag of groceries to one arm while he reached out his hand and unlocked his front door. Inside he found Rain, his for-now hired female Icejin babysitter, was standing in front of his doorway with Blizzard in her arms. She wore her yellow sun hat and her white skin and gray plates glowed under the artificial light of his home. Her tail flicked out from behind her and slapped Snow across the cheek.
"Where have you been?" Rain shouted at Snow, "You hired me to take care of your son Mr. Snow for only a few hours, but it feels like you have been gone longer!"
Snow held his cheek with his open hand and moved the bag of groceries around so that this short woman could see he had been out shopping. He also used his words instead of his fists, he might have in another situation punched her, to explain. "I should slap you back for that, but you've just been hired to take care of my son. Anyway, I was meeting with the king and this is a bag of groceries in my right arm full of pop sickles. I was out shopping you know. That said, I got them to celebrate the fact the king and queen have given me a mission with their son over the next few days we are to go to Alpha Prime and participate in a tournament there hosted by some benefactor. You are welcome to come if you like a good fight."
Rain who had a frown on her face the entire time while he spoke began to smile and asked cheekily as she stepped forward and elbowed his chest, "Where's the proof?"
Snow carefully stepped aside and the sphere that had been talking to him floated forward. "Are these your guests?" the sphere asked Snow as it looked at Rain and his son. "If so, we do have a few seats in the crowd left."
Rain puckered her lips at the strange sphere and said, "Of course, I'll be a guest, I'm taking care of this man's child for the day. I might as well take care of him longer and have some fun while I'm at it."
She looked back at Snow who turned back around and as he blinked he coughed and said, "This is my hired baby sitter Rain and my son Blizzard is in her arms. Make sure they have seats and I will come to this tournament and take on all the potential fighters there."
A red exclamation mark appeared on the sphere's front panel and it answered, "Seats have been registered for the two guests to keep this claim valid you must go to Alpha Prime right away sir." The sphere then floated off to report this information to its boss.
Snow nodded as the sphere left and grabbed Rain's hand. All three boarded the next space flight at the space docks to Alpha Prime and within the hour were on its surface. Once on the tournament grounds Snow, Rain, and Blizzard looked around and found a registration booth for Snow to sign up at. He put his name onto a registration sheet as well as his home world and the date and quickly made his way through the spectators to the stadium. Once inside the three sat down on the stadium bleachers and ate all the pop sickles that Snow had bought. Then they proceeded to look at the 300 x 300 square foot stadium from a distance.
"Hey, Snow," Rain asked as she looked towards the four black pillars around it and pointed at them, "What are those?"
"I don't know..." Snow uttered.
"I ask cause they're making me kind of sick..." Rain voiced.
Snow noticed Rain was shivering and quickly grabbed her shoulders. Within seconds she perked up back to life and began to laugh. Snow's face quickly turned to anger as she laughed at him and said, "I can't believe you fell for that. I was only suffering a brain freeze, but those pillars sure do look odd."
Snow wished he could simply rip her arms off and get really mad at her, but for now, he knew he could not. If he was violent in or around the stadium the people would get made at him and would kick him out.
Snow left Rain and Blizzard on the bleachers they were at noting they were on the north side of the stadium. He could hear the announcer possibly calling for the fighters to come and meet and quickly went to a back area where the fighters were to gather for the rounds and figure out who went first. Today, he would show the world his full power and bring pride to Icers everywhere.
