Chapter 51: New Friend and Room Service

The following day, our twin brother protagonist, Ken Altarmore-Heartstrings, explored the city they had stayed in. He had gone along beside Bon-Bon, who volunteered keep an eye on him as his human curiosity eagerly awaited to learn what's new. Although separated from his sister; she had stayed behind with Lyra. Ken had a bit of fun nonetheless, and knew his sister's location by sensing her Ki signature.

Which, by the way, stuck out like a black in a sea of white.

Ken walked alongside his surrogate aunt Bon-Bon, his eyes darting around, wishing to see every detail of this brand new place. The child's seemingly endless energy almost causing him to bounce up and down, barely holding himself from racing to touch everything.

It was at the moment, he spotted a certain place which he just had to go inspect.

"Auntie Bon-Bon, over there, over there! I want to see what that is!" Ken exclaimed in excitement, his tail wagging side to side in joy.

"Alright, alright! No need to burst into a ball of energy," Bon-Bon said.

The earth pony looked toward a tall tower indicating the exact time of the day, "Still a few hours before the preliminary rounds start, so we got plenty of time," She said to herself.

Ken's grin widened, "Awesome, now let's go check it out!"

Bon-Bon smiled at his direction as they both walked toward the specific building that had got Ken's childish interest. Lo and behold, the building held a giant playground, and the object of sight Ken pinpointed...

A ball pit, yep, a pool full of multi-colored plastic balls.

A very big ball pit.

Ken gleefully ran forward and dived into it, disregarding the employees on the way and the children already within for precious playtime. Not that it matter, there were plenty of space, and many more games for children his age all inside the building. From an indoor slide, to a swing set, nothing is missed from the paradise for children!

If only Kira were here now.

"Hey, watch it!"

Ken's head popped up from underneath the plastic pool of balls, looking at the direction of the voice, he spotted the form of a strange being.

The being appeared around his own height, bipedal like himself, and wore a light tan Gi shirt. Small still growing horns came from the sides of its head, and had the face of a bull. A light build of muscle could be seen, but being as young as Ken made them not profound, not to mention it had a darkish purple fur coat.

It being half in the ball pit, Ken couldn't see the rest.

"Who are you?" Ken asked.

"Copper Will," it answered, a masculine voice told Ken it was a he, "And who, and what, are you?"

"Ken, human," Ken stated, "And, uh... What are you? I never seen anything besides ponies and dragons before," Ken replied.

"I'm a minotaur!" Copper Will boasted, "And if you got a problem with it, then go and... Dang,"

"Dang? What's the matter?" Ken said.

"Nothing! Just trying to work on my assertive speeches," the minotaur child said in response.

"Assertive speeches? What for?"

"You ask a lot of questions,"

Ken shrugged, "I'm just curious, I like learning new things."

Copper Will chuckled, "Me too, well to answer your question. My dad is a teacher for people to be more assertive of themselves. He's pretty cool, but I like to fight a bit more you know? That's why I'm participating in the Four Border Tournament."

"Cool, my sister and I are also in the Four Border Tournament."

The minotaur child raised an eyebrow, "Why would a girl be in a fighting tournament?"

Ken scratched the back of his hair, "Hehe, well, Kira is stronger than me..."

"Really?"

"Yep!" Ken replied cheerfully.

"Where is your sister now? Is she around here somewhere?" Copper questioned, "I'll like to meet her."

"Ah... Well..."

On the other side of the city, our young heroine, Kira Altarmore-Heartstrings, looked on in wonder from the hotel room's balcony at the city below. The hybrid little girl's attention going back and forth between different buildings, eye-catching attractions, and the different kind of races all walking around them. Looking toward the area where she could sense her twin brother's Ki signature, her enhanced half saiyan eyesight spotted him entering a colorful building.

A building that practically screamed 'Fun time'.

"That is so not fair!" Kira yelled in objection, "I should've went with Ken..." She mumbled to herself as she continued to look down for something else.

'Wonder whom I got too fight in the tournament... I hope they're strong!' Kira thought excitedly, her saiyan side eagerly awaiting battle.

Turning around, Kira reentered the hotel room. She went to the bathroom door and knocked on it.

"Mom, are you done yet?" She questioned.

"Almost, just brushing my hair," Lyra answered back through the door.

"Okay!" Kira said joyfully, "Can we go eat?"

"Just look at the room menu, they'll bring food up!" Lyra replied.

Kira went to the table set at the edge of the room, and picked up a small book. She flipped through the pages until she found the food menu, in which the hybrid's mouth begin to drool slightly at all the choices, and the descriptions telling about said foods.

"I really like this place," Kira couldn't help but say, the child's fingers trending along the page as she struggled to choose what to eat.

The hybrid looked back to the door, then to the menu, "Can't I have it all... Maybe if I..." She looked to a magical device that had a few buttons with pictures in it. The crystal ball glowed dimly, as it awaiting orders.

"Mommy was using it earlier..." Kira trailed off as she brought the menu with her and sat on the bed edge. The eight year old clicked the button with a fruit on it, the crystal glow's brightened as a voice came through.

"Room Service, what do you need?" a feminine voice responded.

"Food!" Kira responded.

"Alright, what is your order?"

Kira looked to the menu, there were so many choices, all the 'entrees' looked so good... That's it!

"I want all your entrees!" Kira exclaimed.

"A-all of them?"

"Yes! All of them! Oh, and some grape juice too!" Kira replied, stomach growling in anticipation of being filled.

"Okay, it'll be ready shortly."

"Thank you," Kira said as the glow dimmed down and the voice cut off, mumbling something about how this was the second time.

"Kira?" Lyra called out, coming out of the bathroom. She immediately noticed Kira giving her a happy smile that didn't sit too well with what she could feel. "What did you do?"

"Ordered food!" Kira said happily.

Lyra paused, before asking, "How much food?"

"This much!" Kira said, widening her arms like she was about to embrace a hug.

".... You ordered pretty much all the big ones didn't you?"

"Yup!"

"Kira!" Lyra exclaimed, prompting the little girl to look in confusion.

"What? You said I could order food." Kira said innocently.

"I said you could look over to the menu, not order everything..." the mint green unicorn trailed off.

"I'm pretty sure they're all small plates, it's not like the food will cover a quarter of the room!" Kira replied.

Twenty minutes later...

"Won't cover a quarter of the room, Mmh?" Lyra said to the little girl who gave a sheepish grin.

"Hehe... Well... I'm hungry!" Kira replied in defense, reaching out to grab a bite to eat. The door to the hotel room suddenly opened wide to reveal Bon-Bon and Ken.

Ken, seeing food in front of his sister, thought the worst case scenario.

"You were eating without me?!" Ken exclaimed in despair, feeling betrayed by his own twin sister. "Why sis, why have you betrayed me so?"

Lyra smiled, then said, "No need to be so melodramatic, Ken."

Bon-Bon sighed, "At least we have some food... Wait, we have to pay for this don't we?"

Lyra answered, "Yeah, but I managed to win some money by... Playing some games."

"You must have gotten really lucky." Bon-Bon said, sitting down along the bed, Ken sitting alongside his sister.

Lyra grabbed a fork, stabbing a strand of vegetables, "I don't even know how I won..." She replied.

The twins, being the ever hungry pair of munchkins they are, tore through the full list of entrees as if it was their last day alive. With happy grins, filling stomachs, and a tail wagging side to side, Ken and Kira ate with absolute glee. Along with the thought about enjoyable fights coming in just a hour within the Tournament, the twins couldn't help but always be excited constantly.

---

Forty-five minutes, that's the amount of time that had passed when our two child protagonist, Ken and Kira, ate lunch and went along with Lyra and Bon-Bon toward the Tournament building. Upon entering, a crowd of beings, from griffons to ponies, dragons to minotaurs, rushed here and fro around the places. A number of stalls were set up, trying to sell their products in a now highly populated zone. Ahead through, the entrance into the Fighter's building was slowly filling with participants.

Kira grasped her brother's hand, pulling him toward said building.

"I can walk Kira!" Ken said to her.

"Your too slow!" Kira replied.

"When were you so excited all the time?" Ken questioned.

"No clue!"

Entering the building, Ken and Kira were greeted by a wide array of fighters. Many of which were the stereotypical body builders who thought they were fighters, but were really just boxers who were going to be outclassed by a bunch of eight year olds. Not that any of them knew that. However, a few proved to possibly be veteran fighters, magic users, and pretty cool looking.

The insides of the building seem to be quite similar to what Chris, the twins' father, described from his own world. It was large, with multiple small rings donning the ground in which fighters were to participate in for access into the finals. However, unlike Chris's world, a large glass pane allowed a crowd of guest to view the fighters within.

"I can't wait to test my skill!" Kira said giddily.

Ken stood near his sister's side, "I hope this ends fast..."

'Memories...' Chris trailed off.

"Hey! Ken! Is that your sister you were talking about?"

The two twins looked toward the direction of the voice, Ken replied, "Oh hey Copper, yeah, this is Kira."

Copper Will grasped Kira's hands, the little girl staring curiously at the minotaur.

"Hey... My name is Copper Will, what's yours?" He asked, staring into her black onyx eyes.

Kira replied happily, "Kira Heartstrings! Happy to meet you Copper!"

"Why such a flower in a field of wolves?" Copper asked strangely.

"Huh? I don't see any flowers or wolves." Kira replied in confusion.

Copper brought the eight year old girl closer to him, but the hybrid slipped out of his grasp and was next to her brother in a instant.

"She's fast..." Copper trailed off.

"Anyway Ken, what do we do next? Does daddy know?" Kira questioned.

'They're announce it soon enough,'

"Dad says they're announce it when it starts." Ken replied to his sister.

"Attention everyone! The preliminary rounds are about to begin!" A earth pony, standing atop of a small fighting ring, said.

'Now to see how this goes...'
