Stars Don't Shine Forever
Prelude
Space. The continuing abyss that was home to untold billions of species also was the resting place for a somewhat strange object. A huge object floated through the intergalactic expanse for eons, until…
"Captain Nero, there's a strange object 1 billion kilometers from our current position," said a nameless lieutenant who happened to be the pilot of the Icejin vessel. "Composition of the object?" Responded the captain, a white skinned Icejin with red coloring. He vaguely resembled Koola, the former Lord of the Eastern Galaxy.
"From visuals, it seems to be…black ice? Sensors detect a strange energy coming from the black iceberg. I think something's inside, sir. Permission to see what's inside?" Captain Nero pondered for a minute before waving his hand disinterestedly. "Permission granted."
With a smirk, the officer at tactical activated the weapons array, a single phaser beam striking the black comet. With deadly precision, the nuclear disruption forces in the beam disintegrated parts of the object until a humanoid figure was visible.
"Cease fire!" Commanded Nero, suddenly interested in what was formerly hidden in the strange comet. "Tractor it in, then find a way to get him out of there. We possibly have a great discovery on our hands, boys."
A green tractor beam snagged onto the man frozen in a block of black ice, and dragged him into the cargo hold. Captain Nero, followed by a pair of doctors, security guards, and engineers arrived seconds after their find, but were shocked beyond belief at it's appearance.
"It's Icejin! Thaw him out immediately!" Obeying orders, the security guards set their phaser rifles to heat mode, and attempted to free the man. After five minutes of no progress, Nero gave the order to adjust their settings to low power phaser. Just as the guards were about to fire, the ice shattered without warning. Deadly shards of the mysterious black ice flew all over the room, shredding everyone assembled except Captain Nero, who protected himself with a barrier shield just in time.
The giant Icejin stretched and growled, his huge frame intimidating Nero. The power coming from this man is incredible. He's bigger and more powerful than even King Kold himself! The frightened captain thought nervously.
The unknown man began to speak, his deep voice commanding and powerful. "Where am I? Who are you?"
Nero stepped back involuntarily, his inherent fear clearly visible to the other Icejin. You are aboard the Icejin ship Cryo, and I am Nero, captain of this vessel. We are currently at the edge of the northern galaxy. Might I ask, who are you?"
The other man nodded his head, his ebony and white skin making him appear to be death incarnate. He chuckled as if the man had cracked a joke, then stopped. "I am Frost…"
