This one was hard. I'll admit. I couldn't figure out how to start it and I'm not sure how I'm gonna do Chapter 2. But, I'll do my best to get it ready and good for you all. Also, tried Jhin for the first time...I'll say this...he showed this Support main her ADC roots. I forgot how much fun ADCs were! Infinity Edge, Essence Reaver, Rapidfire Cannon, and Runaan's Hurricane...and geeze he's terrifying! Anyway, here's Kayle's arc.
Chapter 1
"Ryo! Time for you to get up! You start your internship today!" Kikoro Kaida yelled up the stairs as Rikari, Ryo's sister, sat down at the breakfast table and started eating.
"I don't know if she'll even be up," Rikari pointed out through a mouthful of toast, "She was up all night worrying about the job,"
"She'll do fine, Rikari," Kikoro told her, "She has in the past…her last boss put in a good word for her,"
"I never hear much about him except that he works for Riot like you, Mom," Rikari started, "Oh…and that he lives in a pretty far off and tiny country…one of those that's so little you can't locate it on a map,"
"He's a good man," Kikoro promised, "He's just a bit busy right now,"
"That why we don't go see him or his family?"
"…Yes," Kikoro admitted.
Though, in truth, Kikoro and her husband, Motushi, wanted to keep Ryo and Rikari out of Valoran as much as possible…which meant hiding the girls' heritage from them. Motushi was full Valoran, hailing from Ionia, and while Kikoro had her roots there as well…her grandfather was from Demacia while her Grandmother was born in Ionia, making her mother Ionia-Demacian and her father was from Earth. Her cousin Andrew was fully Valoran as well, but he had a fair bit of Freljordian in his bloodline due to his father being a part of the Avarosan tribe.
All three had magic running in their veins, but only Andrew really harnessed it and became a Summoner for the Institute. Ryo and Rikari had magic as well…but it was faint and only came out in very exclusive circumstances. It was harder to hid when the girls were young…seeing as how Ryo would light things on fire when she was angered and Rikari would seemingly stop her parents in their tracks with a barrier of violet-tinged light when she got in trouble and was about to be punished for it.
Suddenly, a loud thud sounded off and the two women turned around to see Ryo hop down from the fifth stair.
"Ryo…what have I told you about jumping down those stairs…." Kikoro growled.
Ryo ducked her indigo head, her golden eyes just a touch impish.
"To not to," she muttered before raising her head and walking to the table, sliding into her seat and picking up a piece of toast, putting it in her mouth, "Bu' 'm 'o e'ited!"
Her mother then proceeded to gently rap her on the head with a wooden spoon.
"Ryo…manners," she chastised as Ryo swallowed and gave a sheepish grin.
"I'm just so excited," Ryo grinned, "I get to start an amazing internship! Maybe I'll get to help design a Champion…or a new skin! Or…"
"Or you'll be running coffee to everyone and handing out mail," Rikari snickered, earning her an eye roll and a playful shove from Ryo.
"I'm sure everything will be just fine," Kikoro smiled, putting a hand on her daughter's shoulder, "Now, finish up. I'll take you in as soon as you're done,"
"Meanwhile I have to get a move on to my job,"
"Ah that's right, your job at the bakery," Ryo smiled, "Make any marvelous masterpieces or culinary confectionaries that you could possibly bring home?"
"I'll try," Rikari grinned, getting up and grabbing her bag before walking out, "Have fun!"
"You too!" Ryo returned as she finished her breakfast and grabbed her own bag.
"Ready?" Kikoro asked.
"Ready," Ryo grinned.
The Riot building was a lot bigger than Ryo thought it would be. There were people in the classic cubicles, but there were even more people milling about, chatting with each other and being generally friendly. Kikoro put a hand on her daughter's shoulder, smiling gently as she led her through the maze of walls and hallways.
"You'll do fine," she started, "I promise…"
"Well look who we have here!" a male voice called.
Kikoro gave a bright smile as she turned to face a man in a suit and fedora.
"Andrew!" she smiled, hugging her cousin as he took off his fedora, revealing a shock of nearly white blonde hair, "It's been ages!"
"Yeah, seems that way, doesn't it?" Andrew laughed before looking at Ryo, "Surely this can't be Ryo!"
"She's all grown up," Kikoro nodded.
"I haven't seen you since you were no bigger than my knee," Andrew marveled, walking to his second cousin and looking at her, "You're the new intern, aren't you?"
"That I am," Ryo nodded.
Andrew gave a laugh and rubbed the back of his head.
"Well, turns out you're going to be my intern. I put in for one a while back and they told me the position was filled today,"
"So I work for you then?"
"That's right," Andrew smiled.
"Andrew," a woman's voice started, making Ryo and her mother look behind him.
She was an impressive six foot something, her long blonde hair cascaded down her back and her piercing blue eyes seemed to knife right to your very soul. She was dressed in a gold shirt and blue jeans, Ryo could see she wore some sort of necklace with a charm attached to it, but she wasn't able to discern what the charm was.
"Your boss wishes to see you," the woman started.
"Ah," Andrew nodded, "Ryo, this is…Kyrie. She's basically the one who lets us know when the boss wants to see us…"
"And keeps everyone in line by how I see it," Ryo piped up.
Kikoro blinked, dumbstruck before shooting an almost fearful look at Kyrie…but Kyrie gave a loud, warm laugh.
"You…I like you," Kyrie chuckled, "Andrew, you might have to watch her, I might just take her from you!"
"You know you're not allowed," Andrew replied softly as Kyrie rolled her shoulders as if they pained her, "Tryn's rules remember?"
"I do not fear him," Kyrie snorted, "But in any case, I will be seeing you later,"
She looked at Ryo with a warm smile.
"I hope to see you again, Ryo Kaida," Kyrie nodded, bowing her head slightly before walking off.
Andrew shook his head before turning to Ryo.
"I'll be back in about half an hour," he told her, jerking his head towards a door, "That's my office, you're welcome to stay there 'til I get back. Just…don't get into trouble really,"
And he left.
Kikoro hugged her daughter before starting to move.
"I'll see you soon, my little angel," she said, kissing Ryo's forehead before walking towards her own office, "have fun!"
Ryo had been in Andrew's office for about an hour…and he still hadn't come back from his meeting. She was bored out of her mind! She looked at the messy office and gave a soft hum.
Surely Andrew wouldn't mind if she cleaned up a bit?
And so she set to work, grabbing some of the papers and sorting them, stacking them neatly on the desk. She sat down in Andrew's chair, working on the desk's drawers…when a file fell out of her hands, sending papers and pictures flying everywhere.
Ryo gave a muttered curse, picking up the pictures and papers…only to stop and look at them. The first was of a young woman with reddish blonde hair and stormy blue eyes, nothing special…until Ryo noticed the writing on the paper attached to it.
"Subject 1:
Name: Cira Noble
Champion: Leona
Occupation: Radiant Dawn (PROJECT Initiative Member)
Cause of Choosing: Cira was involved in a car accident after pushing another woman out of the way of a speeding car, Leona expressed interest because of selfless act of protective tendencies.
Post-Choosing Result: First test was a success! Champion and Chosen are bonding well…almost as if they were destined to be together.
Additional Notes: Diana Chose someone…Cira and Mir are having a hard time keeping Diana and Leona under control. But they've fixed it, they've perfected taking back control and keeping them from killing the other."
"What…" Ryo muttered, picking up another picture and paper.
"Subject 5:
Name: Shane Korrigan
Champion: Shen
Occupation: Eye of Twilight
Cause of Choosing: Rare tradition. Shen and his family have been to Earth before…we thought Cira was the first Chosen, but Shane's family's been intertwined with Shen's for far longer.
Post-Choosing Result: As with the others, there was a great success.
Additional Notes: Keep Zed and Shen away from each other. Cira tried to break up the fight, but triggered Zed's Project sequence…took all five Projects to take him down. Also, if Jhin Chooses…we must keep those three away from each other. It will not end well,"
"What are you doing!?"
Ryo's head snapped up just to see Andrew and Kyrie standing in the doorway.
"I…I was cleaning…" Ryo told him, "They just fell out…I didn't…"
She clenched her fists and shook the folder at Andrew.
"What are you doing to these people!?" Ryo snapped, "You're taking them off the streets and turning them into computer programs!?"
"Ryo," Andrew started.
"And you're just sitting here, not letting on that you're playing God with people's lives!"
"Andrew," Kyrie started.
"RYO!" Andrew roared, ignoring Kyrie as sparks and tendrils of faint pale light spat from his fingertips and made Ryo stare at him in shock, "I'm not ruining their lives! I'm saving them! I'm giving them a second chance at life! I let them choose this! I'm bringing our worlds together!"
"Andrew…" Kyrie tried again, but once more was ignored.
Ryo blinked once, twice, three times before narrowing her eyes.
"You're saying this is real," she growled, "That the League, the Champions, that world…is real?"
"Of course I'd know if my home is real," Andrew scoffed…only to wince and facepalm, "I shouldn't have said that,"
"Your…home…" Ryo blinked, "you're…."
"I'm Valoran," Andrew sighed, "I'm Ionian and Demacian from my mother and Avarosa Freljordian from my father. Your parents have Valoran blood in their veins too. Your father is Ionian but your mother is only half Valoran. That little part is Ionia-Demacian while her father is from Earth. You and Rikari are a quarter Valoran all things considered,"
"You expect me to believe this?" Ryo snapped.
"Andrew!" Kyrie growled.
"Yes, I do!" Andrew retorted.
"SUMMONER!" Kyrie roared, her voice booming through the office.
"What?!" Andrew yelled back, glaring at the taller woman.
"I Choose her,"
Andrew blinked confusedly.
"…What?"
"I. Choose. Ryo," Kyrie said slowly, turning her sapphire gaze onto the irate girl.
"Wha-No!" Andrew snapped, "No, I won't allow it!"
"It doesn't matter if you allow it or not," Kyrie said simply, "If she decides to accept, then there is nothing you can do,"
"What is she talking about?" Ryo asked…before her golden eyes widened, "You're a Champion…"
Kyrie gave a smile and nodded, turning to Andrew.
"May I drop this charade?" she asked, "It is getting uncomfortable,"
"She's figured out this is real," Andrew grumbled, "I see why not,"
Kyrie touched her charm and a ripple seemed to run across her body. Ryo's eyes went wider still as she saw the tall woman change. Golden armor accented with fiery red swirls of flame took form over her body, a massive golden broadsword accented with a ruby the size of a softball appeared in her gauntleted hands, a plumed helmet appeared over Kyrie's head, hiding her blonde head…but what got Ryo…were the massive white wings that suddenly snapped out, filling the office with their ethereal light.
This was no longer Kyrie, the woman who worked at Riot…
This was Kayle, the Judicator.
Ryo's golden eyes met the sapphire blue ones that looked through the eye slits on Kayle's helmet. The Judicator gave a smile and took off the helmet, shaking her blonde hair free from the armor.
"You know me now, Ryo Kaida," Kayle told her, her wings flicking to get the stiffness out from their confinement, "You know what I stand for and I see that in you. It burns in you like holy fire,"
She offered her hand.
"Will you accept me?" she asked, "To become a Champion of the League, a Chosen like the seven before you?"
Ryo looked at Andrew, who shook his head in defeat, he knew he's lost. If he knew Ryo, the League would have an Earth-Valoran Child as a Chosen. He looked at her.
"She'll take care of you," he told her, "There are far worse ones to have Chosen you,"
"What does this mean?" Ryo asked warily.
"You'll have to fight for the League every so often," Andrew said, "But you'll have a steady job, you won't have to worry about being fired. Punished by the League if you kill another Champion or Chosen, but other than that…you'll be fine. Kayle would probably teach you how to harness your own abilities…if I remember right, you have a talent with Fire magic,"
Ryo looked at the angel before looking at Andrew and then back at Kayle, smiling.
"I accept, Kayle," she said, "When do we start?"
So, we get a little background on Andrew and his family...and we figure out that not all Champions stay in Valoran. Kayle frequents between Earth and Valoran.
