The announcement reverberated through the arena, its significance washing over the contestants like a cold wave. "Welcome to the Ice Age! As we mark the beginning of the second month in the Power Royale, the arena's temperature will now be set to a chilly 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Snow will begin to fall, but fear not, for every contestant will be provided with a coat to keep you warm."The camera panned across the arena, capturing the scattered remains of previous battles and the anticipation in the eyes of those still standing. The remaining 39 contestants braced themselves for the new challenge. The sky darkened as snow began to drift lazily from the clouds, creating a stark contrast to the violent chaos that had dominated the previous weeks.
William Dangerfield adjusted his coat, his metal manipulation powers providing a slight warmth against the chill. He looked over at Angelo Vasquez, who was inspecting the coat given to him, his expression thoughtful.
"Think this will change things?" William asked, breaking the silence.
Angelo shook his head, eyes scanning the snowy landscape. "The cold might make it harder to spot people, but it won't stop the fights. We need to stay alert."
Kindliker Kluckson, struggling with the cold despite his coat, looked increasingly uncomfortable. "This coat's supposed to make me warm, but I'm freezing! I can't even use my powers to stay warm. This whole thing is a mess."
William rolled his eyes. "Just try to keep it together, Kindliker. We've got bigger issues than your coat."
The snow continued to fall, blanketing the arena and creating a white haze that obscured vision. The contestants moved cautiously, knowing that any slip could mean their end. In the distance, the sounds of distant skirmishes and shouting echoed through the cold air.
As the chapter neared its end, the camera caught a figure emerging from the snowfall. The figure was tall, shrouded in a dark coat, and moved with a purposeful stride. It was Tommy Tomorrow, his presence a stark contrast to the serene snowfall. The audience buzzed with excitement, recognizing him from previous updates.
Tommy's face, though partially obscured by his coat's hood, was set in a determined expression. He surveyed the area with a sharp gaze, clearly looking for something or someone. His ability to shoot and regrow bones gave him a unique advantage, and it was evident he intended to use it.
The chapter concluded with Tommy's face fully revealed, his eyes reflecting the icy light as he made his way deeper into the snowy landscape. The tension was palpable, the upcoming encounters promised to be as cold and brutal as the weather itself.
"Stay tuned, folks," Announcer 1's voice boomed. "The Ice Age is just beginning!"
As the scene faded out, the camera focused on the swirling snow, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.
