Ahem* um... Hi. Yeah, long time no see... So I started a Nautilus and Nami thing, I hated how it came out, then tried to do a second Rule 34 thing, hated how it came out, I just don't like a lot of the stuff I made these past months, and, believe it or not, Colorado's D20 is still in school, so that's a thing. This was something I finally liked, and I'm proud to present it to you all and I really hope you like it. I have a long ass Fiora and Talon story coming, so if you like that long stuff... Yeah, that'll be here at some point in my life time... Hopefully.

It was a dark night on the mountain of Targon, the sun had long since fallen behind the mountain and the night sky let the light of the stars shine through like millions of gazing eyes watching as the lives of two children were forever changed. "Do you have to go?" He asked her with down cast eyes. It was the saddest she had ever seen him. Her pack was filled with everything she would need, and her parents had agreed to send her away, they almost seemed eager to and for everyone else, she was already gone. Except for him.

"It's either go with the Solari or die, you saw those executioners… They were very eager to kill me"

"Why didn't you fight? I know you can, you could be the best fighter on the entire mountain!" He pleaded with her.

"The true measure of a warrior is to know when not to fight." Pantheon looked at his feet. "Never forget that okay? You're not a barbarian, you're an honorable soldier. A Rakkor Warrior."

"Okay" he looked back to his friend.

"Pantheon?" Leona asked before she was taken to the Solari order. "I would be honored to be your Solroc"

"I…" His mouth began formulating words at lightning speed, but no words came out.

"Leona, we must depart. Now." A Solari soldier called into the room.

"I have to go… Promise me you will always be a true warrior" She pleaded with him with a set of sad eyes that made his knees weak. In response, Pantheon practically lunged at her and captured her lips, Leona was concerned if the Solari would disapprove, but the next instant, she did not care, it had been a long time coming.

"I'll always fight for you." He promised her as she was torn away from him.

Leona took another step through the jungle, her armored boots created minimal sound in the murky jungle floor, but that didn't stop her from being timid. She never let her guard drop, she knew him too well. Given, part of him was being influenced by a summoner, but he was still Pantheon, and she still had to keep her guard up. "Evade." She felt her summoner whisper in her mind. She glanced up and sure enough, Pantheon was hurdling down from his ultimate at breath taking speeds. He collided with earth shattering force and felt her speed and strength weaken as the shockwaves rolled over her. She heard his sandal step toward her and she gripped her shield a tad tighter.

A barrage of spear thrusts came next, she knew his attack and knew there was no way to counter these strikes, so she hid behind her shield and waited. A particularly large spear thrust knocked against her shield and sent her flying across the shallow waters. Part of her wanted to back down, but the majority pushed back. Leona lifted her shield and ran with it right at Pantheon, pushing him back so she could assume an aggressive stance. Her shield further to the side and sword upright and pointed at Pantheon, she waited for him to make a move, as did he. They stood, facing each other minutes on end, gripping their weapons tight and their shields tighter. With absolutely nothing to set them off, they simultaneously charged and their metal clashed.

Pantheon sent his spear at her heart, rather than block it outright, Leona flung her shield to swat the spear tip to the side; causing Pantheon to lost his balance. However, He didn't even stumble, he felt his step fall for a second before falling onto his shield and rolling out of Leona's reach and standing once again. Leona struck first this time, bringing her sword crashing down onto Pantheon, he lifted his shield too slowly and she left a gash running across his face. The first blood drawn, Pantheon carelessly wiped the blood out of his face and ran at Leona again. She readied her shield again, waiting for a blow but didn't feel the force she was expected. Pantheon had dived past her shield and launched his spear directly at her back. She saw it coming, but it seemed impossible to stop. She felt the cold steel pierce her back and she dropped to one knee. She was dying, but she wasn't dead. Leona launched her Zenith Blade at the victorious Pantheon and brought herself next to him. Without his spear, he was weaponless and she shoved her blade deep into his chest.

"An Enemy has Been Slain." A voice rang over the rift. Leona smiled to herself a little before collapsing into a pool of the sun's rays. "An Ally has been Slain."

….

"Yeah…" Leona could hear the drowsiness in his voice and only just noticed the slow motions her hand had been making on his shoulder. It only took a few moments before Pantheon had fallen asleep in her arms, next to the cool waters; the scene was so peaceful it would be easy just to rest. She laid Pantheon and herself down on the grass floor and closed her eyes. A brief exhale and Leona let herself drift into sleep.

…

Leona could feel breathe of life return to her as she spawned once again at the nexus, no one else was around. She placed her hand against her forehead to reexamine what she had just saw… A repressed memory it seemed? Her team was fairing far better than Pantheon's. They had already taken down three towers, two of which were in the mid lane. With the kill she picked up with Pantheon, she had enough to purchase the Iron Solari and began her trek back to the bottom lane. Squaring off against them was Jinx and Lulu, both delightfully mad in their own right. The back and forth farming of minions and kills continued for a few minutes until Leona noticed her ward had been tripped. She looked over to Varus, his summoner seemed too distracted by the minions to notice. "Varus" She called across the field. "We have to pull out" her tone had fear in it, but no one but her knew what a fearful Leona sounded like. "Varus. Contact your summoner. Request we abandon this lane before it's too late."

"I'm trying, he is not responding." Varus responded, Jinx and Lulu were almost back from their recall. The gank would no doubt commence as soon as they got back to their lane.

"Have you lost connection?"

"No, I am receiving the order to continue shredding minions… I believe this summoner is an idiot."

"A common occurrence," Leona muttered to the archer. Jinx's blue hair could be seen across the minion wave and Lulu's hat just to her right, Leona looked to the bush, she could see Pantheon's spear head protruding through the grass. "Disregard the summoner" Leona's voice was calm and powerful, despite the nerves tensing inside her.

"I planned to, dying is more painful than summoners seem to realize…" As soon as Varus said the words, Jinx's rockets came hurdling down lane, and Pantheon leaped from his hiding place into the air. Varus skillfully rolled to the ground, releasing an arrow mid roll and aiming it at Pantheon the as he was still in the air. Varus fired, but in his haste to both dodge Jinx's attack and fire at Pantheon, he missed Pantheon's neck by a quarter of an inch. Pantheon's spear came crashing down on Varus but his attack was interrupted by Leona's shield.

"Take the other two!" Leona ordered Varus and she flung Pantheon's spear away with her shield. Varus did as he was told and aimed an arrow at Jinx's heart as Leona continued to battle Pantheon. He slammed his shield into hers and pushed her back into the middle of bottom lane. He pushed against her shield until in one flick he broke her guard, sending her shield out of her hand. Pantheon followed up with a swift jab at her gut, giving only Leona a fraction of a second to raise her sword in defense, and the spear's shaft slid past the blade's steel. Leona lifted her steel boot and kicked Pantheon's shield while his balance was shifted onto his spear and sent him back. With his balanced lost, she thrust her sword into his chest and felt the resistance of his flesh.

"Hugify!" Lulu cried and the blade that was once stuck in Pantheon's chest was not a mere thorn in his side, in retaliation, Varus fired a perfect shot through Lulu's head.

"An enemy has been slain." That didn't change the fact there was a giant Pantheon now roaming about though.

With his new found height, Pantheon picked up the weakened Leona and flung her across the lane and watched as her spine shattered against a tree from the sheer force of his throw. "An ally has been slain." Pantheon wasted no time finding Varus. "Double kill" Shortly followed.

…..

Leona and Pantheon sat on the stream's edge, as they let the stream's waters run over their feet. She delicately wiped some wet fabric over the swollen wound. She had seen worse on him, but it was a more severe one. "You Troll brat…" She mused as the last of the blood ran off his face.

…

Leona looked up at the clock now, "62:12" this battle felt as if it carried on for years, neither team willing to back down. Kills were nearly even, her team had slain the dragon one more time than the other, but that was perhaps the only difference between the teams.

"My summoner has given me instructions." Singed, their top, reported. "We are going to take Baron."

"That's idiotic," Varus spoke up. "Our inhibitor turret is next to destroyed, a Baron would only leave our Nexus exposed."

"That's crap!" Fizz, the mid lane, cried to the archer. "I'm not sitting here and dying! We take Baron now!"

"Let us move quickly then, before our enemy has similar plans." Leona added.

"Has your Baron ward been tripped?" Elise, their jungle, asked.

"Not yet, but who's to say they are not on their way? They're not showing on my map."

"Quickly then! We can win this." Fizz cheered.

The five member team made haste to the monster's lair. Her ward had still not been tripped, but Leona felt this would go badly. Fizz was at their head, charging with his trident raised proudly with Elise shortly behind her. The team went through the jungle rather than middle lane, and filtered into the swamps in between lanes.

Baron Nashor, the terrible boss, could be seen above the tree line. Its mouth dripped with acid, all seven of them and its bone chilling roars could be heard all across the battlefield. Each of the team was well beyond their full build and perhaps the buff would be enough to win the game for them. As far as Leona knew, this battle had no political implications, just summoners hell bent on winning.

"Still no sign of the other team…" Leona reported though it seemed none of her team paid any attention to her.

Just as Fizz entered the boss's lair, the sound of a rocket, firing from its cannon, rang out and Fizz hiked up on his trident to narrowly avoid its blast damage. The team looked to where it came from, and it seemed the blue team had a similar idea and had gathered at the Baron to finish the fight. The ten of them squared off each of their opponents in lane, ready to kill. The game winning fight was now. Singed stood opposite Garen in top lane, Fizz stared down Malzahar, Elise devilishly smiled at Pantheon, Varus and Leona patiently waited for Jinx and Lulu to make a move.

"Fuck this silence!" Jinx cried out and set up her super mega death rocket and launched into the purple team. An all out team fight broke out right there, as Varus and Leona dodged the rocket and retaliated fire. Fizz narrowly avoided each of Malzahar's attacks before diving with his trident and landing a nice hit, before having a Voidling attach itself to his face. Pantheon guarded and fought off each of Elise's spider strikes and kicked away each of her spiderlings before they could explode.

Then, Lulu sent Garen into a wild growth, letting him grow twice the size of Singed. However, that didn't stop Singed from placing his shield under the newly massive Garen throwing him over his shoulder, right in Baron Nashor. The boss took out a sizable portion of Garen's health, but the more important part of this is, it provoked Baron into joining in on the team fight.

Acid began spewing from the ground in massive bursts, like geysers of corrosion. Baron started to devour any champ who got close, starting with Garen and Singed. "Executed." The woman's voice rang out, displaying icons for both the champions.

Amidst the chaos that Baron had ensued, Pantheon was able to squash Elise, and Varus was able to take down Jinx, only to be Glitter lance by Lulu, taking away the little health he had left before Leona struck the Fae Sorceress down and Malzahar was not able to best Fizz, as the Trickster's ultimate swallowed the wizard whole.

Pantheon steadily watched as Fizz dance around him, acid rain falling from the sky and Baron's roars bursting through the air. Pantheon stabbed and Fizz was gone in the next instant. He began watching again, some acrobatics, a quick glide and then Fizz dove with his trident aimed at Pantheon's heart. With unbelievable speed, Pantheon caught Fizz's trident in the middle of its attack, and lifted the Trickster to his face. Fizz only offered a mocking tongue and spat at Pantheon before he was hurdled into one of the Baron's mouths. "An Ally has been slain."

Pantheon looked up from his last kill, he didn't see Leona anywhere and that worried him. He still had a fair amount of health left, but he didn't know if he had enough to slay what was left of Baron.

"Pantheon." Leona called, as she stepped out her hiding place among the bushes. "First to Kill?"

"First to Glory." Pantheon repeated the words from when they trained as children. They stood apart from each other, Leona with a confident grin, which Pantheon no doubt mirrored, it was simply hard to tell under his helmet.

"Go." They breathed simultaneously and broke out towards the creature. Pantheon leaped towards Baron, driving his spear into its hide and letting his weight slide himself down its flesh, making the wound wider. Leona let loose a Zenith blade and found herself on top of the Baron's smaller heads. With force and precision, she drove her blade in its skull before the boss flung her off its person.

Leona landed with an "oomph" and she looked over to a tired Pantheon. "Giving up?"

"Never," He labored in a breath. "My health is too low to have a lengthy battle with this creature."

"I suppose my team will just get the buff then." She urged him on which Pantheon grumbled in response to. "One more attack. That's all we need to kill it."

"Very well…" Pantheon studied the monster for a moment before releasing his spear into a high point on the monster. With an enormous jump, Pantheon leaped to his spear, he held onto it for a moment before removing it, and quickly stabbing the beast in a high place. He was scaling the monster, like a rock mountain; only, he was using its many skin blemishes as rocks. Pantheon had almost reached the top of the creature when his hand slipped and he dangled with his one hand on his spear. With all his might, Pantheon pulled himself up and was able to stand on his spear for a brief moment before he jumped onto the creature's neck and ran to its head.

"Not bad…" Leona said from the ground. Determined that she could accomplish any challenge Pantheon set forth, she unlatched the iron sun dress, revealing her chain mail leggings and solar boots and Zenith bladed up the creature. She was a little below where Pantheon was, but that did not stop her from climbing, she was faster than him anyway and within a minute she too had scaled the beast. She ran to where Pantheon had run to find him struggling to keep his balance on the constantly moving Baron. Which, she had to admit was a challenge for her as well.

"I seem to have lost my weapon," Pantheon faced her.

"That's funny," She placed her sword on her shoulder. "I still have mine."

"Too bad you lost your armor."

"A necessary sacrifice" Leona threw her sword into the Baron's flesh."Come, take your prize" She lowered herself into a hand to hand combat stance. Pantheon did the same and removed his cape. As the fabric blew away amidst the Baron's poisonous breath, the two Rakkor readied to finish their ongoing duel.

…

"Stop treating me like I'm a child." He said a tad more forcefully. "I am fine. Let's keep moving." He pushed past her. Leona wanted to say something, but she had no idea why her friend was acting so strange. A few more minutes of walking and they were rewarded with a shallow, wide, river. It ran through the middle of the woods. The rock bed below it was full of only smooth stone and the water was clear enough to see the occasional small fish zip through the waters.

….

Leona charged at him this time, it was difficult to run on the Baron's slimy skin, but doable and she lunged at Pantheon with a kick to his head. Pantheon blocked her attack with his arm and set a fist directed at her only to watch as Leona ducked into a low sweep and sent Pantheon's feet out from under him. He fell onto the slimy ground and Leona climbed on top of him, sending a barrage of her iron fists his way. Pantheon kept his guard up, but he could still feel his bones shaking with each punch. Leona pulled back all her strength and sent one final punch, only, as soon as it made contact, Pantheon was able to get his foot out from under Leona and launch her off of him.

"I was always better than you at hand to hand." Pantheon called over.

"Let's see if you can keep that title." Leona got up from the floor and taunted Pantheon with her fingers. The Artesian of War let out a hefty battle cry and charged at The Radiant Dawn. Instead of fighting it, Pantheon halted his steps and glided across the Baron's slime, Leona watched his raised fist a tad too long and didn't see the sucker punch he had actually planned. He socked her hard in the gut, and was forced to bend over as she caught her breath. Pantheon followed up by slamming his combine fists into her back and forcing her onto the floor. Finally, he picked her up in both arms and held her above his head. Acid Rain swelled in the background and the Baron could be heard, fearing for its life.

"Wait, Pantheon," Leona said, bloodied by his quick punches. "There's something I never told you."

"Save it." Pantheon called and threw her off the Baron's head. As she fell through the acid rain and dying Baron's blood, Pantheon felt a victorious grin spread across his face.

"I'm AP." She whispered mid flight.

"WHAT!?" Pantheon looked at her in horror before looking to the sky. Sunlight began to calm the storm of acid and from the light came a solar flare. That beam would no doubt kill it before Leona had fallen to her death, so Pantheon ran to the sword Leona had planted in the Baron and lifted it to kill the beast.

Singed felt life return to him. A seventy second respond time was something he could happily do without. Soon, Fizz, Elise and Varus all made their returns, but there was no sign of Leona. "An ally has been slain." The voice rang out.

"Are we cooked?" Fizz asked with a dropped jaw.

"An enemy has been slain." The voice came again. Both teams held their breath until… Varus watched as Baron Buff surrounded him.

"She did it!" Fizz cheered.

"Then there is no time to lose." Singed ordered and the team broke out into a well organized machine, traveling down midlane.
