The game is complicated by the addition of the Flux, a cosmic energy that enhances a player's attributes such as speed, strength, and agility, or grants special powers such as teleportation.
However, Rocket's father and Aarch's brother do not want him on the team and agree only to let him play on the condition that the newly named Snow Kids win a match against the incumbent Akillian team, the Red Tigers, who are coached by Aarch's estranged old friend and team-mate, Artegor Nexus.
There are some intra-team tensions caused by Tia and Rocket's burgeoning relationship and Micro-Ice's unrequited crush on Mei.
Unknown to any of them is that all seven of the players have been affected by the Meta-Flux, a synthetic undetectable Flux, inadvertently created by Clamp and pirate Sonny Blackbones, which was the true origin of the Akillian Ice Age.
With the help of Clamp and his old partner, the pirate Sonny Blackbones, the Snow Kids escape General Bleylock's machinations and win the Galactik Soccer Cup.
After Ahito's recovery he and Yuki share duties as goalkeeper and upon finding in his favor the League allows Rocket to return to the team, which he eventually did.
A year after their second Galactic Soccer Cup victory in succession, the mysterious Lord Phoenix invites everyone in the galaxy to a special mixed-flux tournament on the planet Paradisia.
