Ch. 2: Old Enemy, New Friend
Repton has landed his Bone Wing behind a nearby mountain. He looked over a hill and saw the Blizzarians playing their games.
"Hmph. That's their idea of fun? Hunting down Leapers is more fun," he stated, "though the "Test your Strength" looks more fun."
He got out the cloaking crystals Cyclonis gave to him from his pocket. He activated it and it turned him into a Blizzarian with green hair, yellow eyes, and orange winter wear. He looked at his reflection in some ice below his feet and was disgusted by the site.
"Ugh. What a disgusting sight. The things I do for my terra."
Repton walked right into the carnival. He was just walking around when he saw the Absolute Zeroes at the Bull's-eye Booth.
"There they are," he said, "With any luck, I'll find the Sky Knight who froze my secret hot spot and ruined it."
The rest of the Zeroes were cheering for Billy Rex as he almost hit the target on the ice wall. Repton walked up to them while in disguise.
"Uhh…Hi. I'm kind of new around here," he says, "Are you the Absolute Zeroes?"
"That's us. You must be from outside Blizzaris," says Davey Bones.
"Yeah. I thought I should come here for the carnival."
"Well all are welcome, eh?" Suzy-Lu says, "Why don't you join in?"
Repton knew he can't blow his cover, so he joins in on their game. He takes an ice blade that is similar to his boomerang, throws it and manages to hit the bull's-eye.
"Wooo! You were just a natural there!" Suzy cheerfully exclaimed.
"Thank you, Miss…" Repton said.
Billy Rex said, "She's Suzy Lu, Sky Knight of Blizzaris and Leader of the Absolute Zeroes, eh? You've been living in a cave?"
Repton was surprised that the Sky Knight who ruined his favorite spot was a girl.
"You could say that. I have travelled all over Atmos a lot. I don't get too much current news," Repton said.
"A world traveler, eh? What's your name?" Suzy asked.
"Re-Uh…Ralphie Joe."
"Nice name," Suzy said.
Suzy shook hands with Repton without knowing who he really is. Snipe and Ravess were up on a hill, watching Repton's progress.
Ravess said with a smile, "Everything is going according to plan."
