A physical tournament

" we shall show them our ways are superior, and we will do it on fair grounds" said Minerva. "Send a message to this planet..what was it named again?" "Earth" said Valyria.

"Earth, as good a name a for a planet as any i suppose, but back to the matter at hand send them a massage, tell them 'people of Earth, we are an alien race known as the Amazines, you will probably be disappointed to know that we are almost identical to you, but the various culture that evolved on our home worlds and off-planet colonies have almost always ended up as matriarchies'" the only exclusions she could think of were tribal, pacifistic societies "'we will show you the superiority of our race in a tournament in 90 rises of your sun, gather your 12 best fighters, four for each weight class...' Valyria, send them information, in our units, of the 3 standard fighting weight classes 'and we will challenge them in physical combat, and see who is the superior race' end transmission"

Not suprisingly, many people took this warning as either a practical joke or a radical stunt from some obscure feminist group. but Earth's governments were very aware of the reality. Suddenly, as if against there will, they worked together to try to find the best fighters mankind had to offer.

The day of reckoning arrived, and when he spaceship landed, everyone knew this was no joke.
