A/N I am about to remake not only one of my darker chapters but also I have to establish as much of a multiverse which has multiple skin lines it it so this will be difficult. If you haven't seen the review yet it was DrawingDisaster who requested a vastayan universe and I'm glad they liked it and I will try to be a bit more descriptive as I also feel sometimes the actions aren't described well enough. They were also the one who told me about how to fix my chapters and I recommend you check out their stories. Also I hope Riven wins the event and speaking of edgelords how about the new champion Kayn which is kinda ironic considering the name of the villain for this chapter. Request a timeline and I will do what I can to fulfill your request but yeah this is to help finish up my remakes from the original series. I hope I'm not too rusty after not writing something new in a bit and that you all enjoy this chapter. Also as for the main storyline considering this note is being written on 6/28 which is a LGBT day I feel kinda bad for killing those babadooks.

A dystopia by definition is an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives. On a train that is heading to the League via the targonian mountain pass we find C sitting by the window watching the night sky. He is ripped from his thoughts of peace talks with the other countries when the locomotive explodes and soon the entire train is sent careening into the valley below. A few minutes later a mutilated C manages to crawl out from the wreckage despite lacking his left arm and legs. The voice in his head begins to speak to him again and tells him of a way out of his suffering.

C - " 're right only my supposed allies knew I would be on that train. The mortals don't want peace or a future. They don't deserve it and what they do deserve is to be used like livestock. Instead they need a god to domesticate them like the wild animals they are. (The stump of C's limbs begin to twitch) Aatrox you are right and I wish to become one with your power. (Raises his good arm to the sky) Hahahaha!"

A month later a dark mist begins to roll into Zaun and when the residents begin to become curious about what is happening a horde of spirits begin to attack. Within a few hours the mist rolls back to whence it came with a host of souls. When the authorities of Piltover head done to investigate the lack of production from the factories they find the whole city to be empty. This news however is overshadowed by the fact that the League is disbanded and that it's more monstrous champions have all disappeared. After a year a tree trunk washes up on the shores of Demacia which is identified as Maokai and the scout Quinn has been found murdered in her home with the killer having torn her left arm and leg off. She was also missing her heart and appeared to die with a look of shock on her tear stained face. Worried that the Shadow Isles are out of control Lucian is deployed to the cursed lands to investigate. Upon arrival he is unexpectedly not swarmed by spirits and is able to make his way inland with no issues. Soon her spots a castle in the distance and when he makes his way inside Lucian begins to hear a familiar voice. It is the voice of one who brought him comfort when he felt pain and was the one who when she was taken left the greatest pain. Lucian begins to follow the voice to a throne room where the unexpected trio of Viktor, Thresh, and a man with blonde hair, severe burns on his body and a tattered cape. When Lucian takes a closer look he sees that he isn't burned but instead his arm is covered in a black armor like skin and is flowing with red energy. As the young red eyed man sits on his throne he begins to speak in a bored tone.

Man - "You came because you heard her voice. That's so sweet that I need to check myself for diabetes now. But let me ask you something. Why would you come to help her when you have never been able to before? Do you know how much she has suffered and others because of your failures?"

Lucian - "You son of a bitch! (Pulls out his guns) You don't have any right to ask those questions!"

Man - "Because it reminds you of your failures?! (Gets up) I'm right aren't I?! You were too weak and foolish but I can fix that!"

With an opening of his demonic palm Thresh is surrounded in a red aura. His lantern begins to float towards Lucian before landing in his hand. Seeing the soul of his wife in his hands Lucian falls to his knees.

Thresh - "I- I- I can't move. Abel you son of a bitch this wasn't supposed to be how it goes down! He was supposed to be turned into a wraith and suffer under me!"

Abel - "No, you imbecile this is exactly what I wanted! I used you weak fools because I needed to steal enough resources for my true plan! Lucian you were too weak before but now I offer you the chance for vengeance and to save those you would have failed! I ask only for your loyalty and submission! Let me into you soul and be your new god!"

A red mist begins to seep from Abel's body and fill the room. When Lucian comes into contact with it he is filled with visions of madness. The visions range from Senna's death, her torture, and the undead devouring the living. Knowing the only way to stop the visions Lucian gets up from the ground and opens fire upon Thresh. When the spectre is no more Abel tells Viktor to prepare the Battlecast Skarners to begin bringing those who are also willing to sell their souls to him. Viktor before leaving also takes the broken man before them to have his weak body destroyed and improved. The next few years would see large spread political shifts as various groups such as the Frostguard, Black Rose, and Confederates are destroyed. Be it to unite her people or to destroy those killed his people more champions have given their souls to be improved enough to fulfill their goals. These Projects of Abel are at first seen as saviors who sacrificed much to stop various crises. However when the first waves of Battlecast appeared across major cities all over they were the first to turn on their people. As they slaughtered hundreds of their kinsman the Projects did it with a sickening smile that did nothing to represent the horror they truly felt on the inside. Abel had betrayed them and used them to get others to become his puppets. Now that he had gathered enough volunteers who wished to be improved to become like their heroes he had no need for much of the population. Over the next decade most of the world's population is either wiped out, flee to Bandle City to avoid the hordes of mechanical nightmares, or are relocated to Abel's new base in Ionia in order to create more machines. While Bandle City's great minds create large Mecha to protect the city from invasion and the people who are kidnapped are conditioned into forgetting their past lives. Droids enforce C's rules on the streets of the new super cities that he watches from his newly acquired floating castle. The previous occupant who was pregnant at the time of death had served as great motivation for her lover to become a Project. The fool was easy to trick into thinking Shen had down it and he is easily one of his favorite slaves. With Bandle now a thought in the back of his mind Abel now faces a new threat, boredom. He realizes with no true conflict he won't get much pleasure out of his reign so in response he grants several of the Projects enough freedom to fight back. He has also learned that should he live long enough he will eventually evolve into a darkin without the need for conflict and has resigned to waiting out his mortality. Nobody in the world can hope to overthrow such a tyrant but as fate would have it another world would have somebody who can. In our main timeline we find C struggling in the Multiversal Mirror room to find out what skin he's gonna wear to his next match.

C - "Hmm should I go as Courageous Caleb (Flashes into his vastayan costume) or maybe I should introduce a new skin."

C turns back into his normal hood and continues to struggle on which skin to wear when Levia his darkin partner, for those of you new here, tells him his match is soon. C takes out one of his time cubes so he can go into it and make up his mind quickly without truly being rushed. Once he is inside the time cube however an enemy of his who is stagnation incarnate has infiltrated his room. Bard makes his way over to C's time cube and pushes it into one of his Magical Journey portals. While normally it would simple take one to another dimension the time cube causes it to also travel through time. When C finally leaves the cube all he sees around him is desert.

C - "God damn it! I swear when we get back I'm gonna kick Eccentric C's ass. Levia where the fuck are we?"

Levia - 'Uhh our coordinates are apparently the Kumungu jungle.'

C - "Levia are you in on this joke? Cause why would I believe that when there are (Throws his arms out) no fucking trees around!"

As the two are debating on where they are a Sai battle cry is heard but it sounds different. Sticking his double barrel finger gun behind his back C casually shoots the voidborn in it's skull with an Pumpkin Energy Shot. When he turns around expecting a melting corpse he is surprised to instead see a machine. Confused about all the things that are wrong C decides to head to the Confederation of Freedoms to see what is going on. Upon arrival all C finds are ruined buildings and in panic decides to teleport to each country but only finds similar states of ruin. Finally he decides to teleport to Ionia and immediately wonders what's happened do to all of the technology around. As he wanders the empty streets two machines approach him with advanced firearms. They ask him to show his identification barcode but naturally C is unable to. Before he has to get physical two arrows pierce the droids heads and a lone figure steps out from the shadows.

Project Ashe (Hooded) - "You're lucky I chose to rendezvous with my team here or you might be dead."

C-"Please I coulda handled them with ease but thanks for saving me the trouble. (Begins to circle her) You look kinda familiar."

Ashe - (Puts on a thinker pose) "It's not very often that one of Abel's people are able to think for themselves. My team should be here any second and then we can head back to Bandle."

Not much time later Katarina and Ekko arrive but are being chased by a squadron of droids. Deciding to prove his point from earlier C cuts them all down with a Pumpkin Beam. Rather than turning to see happy faces on the cyborgs instead he sees shocked faces. They snap out of it and throw down a disk on the floor before waving him over to stand on it with them. The group then teleports to Bandle City but it isn't the same as with all things in C's timeline. Due to the massive influx of refugees building had to be made larger to accommodate the increase in population. Walls were also built around the city to keep out the Battlecast hordes and technology skyrocketed into the future. C is teleported here and taken to the Resistance war room which has computer monitors to watch all major entry points to the city. The three main leaders of the unconquered world sit at a round table. They are Ashe who has taken off her hood and leads infiltration units in attacking Ionia directly, Jayce who has aged quite a bit to the point he now wears ironically enough a Full Metal cybernetic suit in order to lead from the front lines, and Heimerdinger who is in charge of keeping the Mecha units in tip top condition hasn't seemed to age a day.

Ashe - "My fellow leaders I believe this man can be the tipping point in our struggles."

To prove her point she takes out her drone Avarosa and has it begin projecting video footage of C using his beam attack.

Jayce (Angrily) - "How is he able to use that attack?! Just who the fuck are you?!"

C - "My name is C and that is my personal energy. What the hell has you so triggered?"

Jayce - "If it's your personal energy then that means.."

Jayce then summons his Mercury Cannon before pointing it at C wo in response gets up with his rifle at the ready. Ashe is able to diffuse the tension in the room by using her Enchanted Crystal Arrow to shut down Jayce's systems. As she drags him out of the room to the infirmary C sits back down at the request of Heimerdinger.

Heimerdinger - "Terribly sorry about his reaction. It's just Abel used Pumpkin energy to kill so many people including his best friends Caitlyn, Ezreal, and Vi. Considering all the information I have gathered I would like to ask you where you came from to confirm my suspicions."

C - "I believe that while I was using the multiversal mirror someone must have used some magic to send me here. I think no I'm sure that this is an alternate timeline where something must have gone different to wind up this horrible."

Heimerdinger - "Considering Pumpkin energy is personal energy from you and the same goes for Abel it can only mean you are the same person. I suppose Jayce believes you are a clone or new drone meant to infiltrate and destroy us all."

Levia - 'C considering it was in a way us that caused this we should do something about Abel. Also since travel between timelines is possible who knows he might come to our world and threaten our people. (C begins to crackle with energy) Hahaha I knew that would trigger you enough to help them.'

C - "Alright what do we have to do to kill the bastard!"

Heimerdinger explains that they managed to use some dead Battlecast to track where Viktor is sending signals from. A few minutes later alarms begin to blare and several monitors cut to the lower levels of the base. In a massive hangar below a Mecha unit has been deployed but this one has the number label of zero. As Heimerdinger is typing rapidly to find out what happened Ashe and Jayce bust in asking what happened. It turns out that Abel has been watching through the Projects he freed so he could always have an edge. When he saw that someone new could threaten his power he ordered Viktor to initiate the plan to take Bandle City. Viktor after hacking his way into the Resistance network managed to find a Mecha that was too dangerous to use due to it's need to devour organic matter. With Sion now on the loose Jayce decides to go and take revenge on his long time rival. Ashe and her Projects insist on coming to help as they feel responsible for this. C is told to go back to Ionian with them since Abel's castle is hidden by a forcefield which they learned from the Battlecast also comes from Viktor's base. Heimerdinger leaves to join the other yordle Mecha pilots and the rest teleport to their location. With Sion unable to be shut off remotely Heimerdinger mounts the Mecha Malphite and begins to brawl with the other metal giant as civilians are helpless to do anything but watch below. The strike team arrive outside a large building with no windows and a large army of droids as well as a Battlecast Kog'maw team outside. With a battle cry of "For humanity!" Ashe opens with her Enchanted Crystal Arrow as Ekko makes a mad dash for the door to hack it open. Jayce goes to cover Ekko and Katarina makes a beeline for the Battlecast. After a few minutes of an intense firefight Ekko manages to open the door long enough for Jayce to get through before an emergency lock seals him inside. C who was providing cover fire for Ashe against the approach horde of droids sees this and decides to go save Jayce.

C - "Shit! Darkin armor type one!"

Everything in a nearby area is blinded by the light from his transformation. His body becomes encased in armor that makes him look like a metallic version of Levia. The demonic, serpentine armor has a flow of orange to match Levia's when she was alive. The light seems to be sucked into where C's eyes are and his heterochromia eyes which leaves them glowing gold and silver. C puts both of his hands into double barrel finger guns before joining them together to make a larger one.

C - "Pumpkin beam! Fi… "

Levia - 'Wait! C I know you want to save Jayce but Ekko and Katarina are in the way! If you fire that beam now you'll kill them!'

C - "Shit! (Jumps into the horde) Jayce just hold out a bit and I'll get you out of there!"

As C begins to bat aside the droid horde Ekko and Katarina try to thin it out on their end. After a few minutes C manages to make his way to the door but before he can destroy it a large blast destroys the entire building. When the doors sealed off his escape Jayce began to destroy his way through the facility. Eventually he finds his way to the main control terminal and begins to search rapidly for a way to shut down the battlecast or anything at all that can help. While he is distracted a disk latched onto his back and steal some of his suits power. As he turns to fire his Shock Blast it is stopped by a shield and a laser pierces his knee causing him to take one. In the doorway is a cyborg who forsake his humanity to force it to take on his ways. His third hand has been changed to a laser cannon as he no longer wishes to help anyone see his point of view and instead put the down for opposing it. He is the Creator of the Battlecast and Abel's biggest ally, Viktor!

Viktor - "So Jayce you obeyed your emotions and now they have led you like so many before you to your death. (His cannons takes his staff) You were right to believe in me having a remote signal to control the Battlecast. (Walks up and forces Jayce to look at him) Now look me in the eyes and tell me what you'll do to survive."

Jayce - "I will tell you what I'll do to die. I am gonna kill you, shutdown your machines, and make a brighter tomorrow. (Grins) Humanity wins Viktor."

Viktor - "You must have lost a lot of (Looks down) Jayce you bastard!"

When Viktor looked down he saw that Jayce had set his Mercury Cannon to self destruct. The ensuing blast not only destroyed the building but also cut off all transmissions. This not only caused the still rampaging Sion to go dormant again but also freed more of the Projects. Yi is currently in a chair going through maintenance when he snaps awake and kills his attendant. Not long after Fiora, Lucian, and Yi all break free to help Leona who is stuck on a lower floor. When the trio reach the elevator Zed who is the last loyal Project stands in their way. Back by Viktor's Abel's castle is now spotted in the sky and C jumps towards it before landing in the dilapidated garden of the former Celestial Fortress. A short walk away he finds an old man sitting in a throne room where all around him are limbs from his meals. Abel's diet had become one of souls to restore his power but also one off flesh to restore his body. Upon a closer look Abel appears to be sleeping but when C moves towards the tyrant he snaps awake. Seeing his enemy before him he puts on his own darkin armor which takes after Aatrox but without his wings.

Abel - "*Yawn* I always wondered what I tasted like. But since I have to deal with you myself I can only assume Viktor was killed. Damn as far as mortals are concerned he did his purpose well but in the end he was mortal. As such he was still (Shaking his fist up and down) Worthless! Worthless! Worthless! Worthless! Worthless! Worthless!"

C - "Heads up! (Throws his glove which Abel deflects with his own) Good we won't cancel each other out of existence when I beat you to death."

Levia - 'Hahahaha!'

C - "What's so funny Levia?"

Levia - 'They say you should never beat yourself up but I think this proves that wrong.'

C - "Ha! That is kinda funny oh shit!"

While C was talking to Levia Abel charged him and now the two are plummeting to the ground. C is able to use Pumpkin Repulse to create space between him and Abel. While C is able to use grappling Coercion to latch onto a building Abel smashes into another one before jumping his way onto the streets below. A small group of people go to check on the man who fell from the but when they get close enough to check on him he gets up with left arm completely broken. With a swipe of his good arm he devours the three closest to him leaving them as a pile of heads, legs, and in doing so procs his Blood Thirst to heal himself. C dives down onto him before yelling at the nearby civilians to run. Abel throws C off of him and the two begin to circle each other waiting for the other to make the first move. Abel rushes towards C and grabs his neck in an attempt to devour him. When he realizes that the darkin armor is protecting C from such an attack he switches to plan b and punches him down the street. Once his back hits the pavement C begins to roll with the momentum before breaking free of his roll to pepper Abel with Pumpkin Shots. While he is busy deflecting the incoming energy Abel is unable to stop C when he throws a car at him. Once C gets too close to the car it explodes and the explosion launches him into a nearby building. As Abel begins to blast the rubble away eventually he finds the C on all fours. Infuriated at having his time wasted Abel starts to kick C repeatedly in the stomach until C rolls away from him. However this was a ploy as the real C had left the armor and waited with Spectre form underground for a chance to strike. With Abel distracted by the armor C swiftly reaches into Abel's body and yanks out whatever he can get his hands on. Luckily he managed to grab Abel's left kidney before going solid again and tearing it out. Unfortunately Abel while in great pain manages to backhand C away but wasn't able to devour him as the armor materialized on him before the blow. Before he can kill the now wounded C a small explosion goes off where his kidney once was due to C managing to leave a flash bang in it's place. Abel is force to take a knee and only thoughts of pure rage course through him.

Abel - (Feels his wound) "You dirty piece of shit! Fuck! I came out to fight you and you choose to use a dirty trick to get a fucking hit in! Hahahahaha! (Points to C) I know why! It's because you're too weak to win otherwise! Which makes you Worthless! Worthless! Worthless! Worthless! Worthless! But I have a solution for weaklings like you who can't even defend themselves. Hahahah!"

Abel then leaps away and leaves an injured C on the ground. A few seconds have passed but Abel has yet to return which leaves C and Levia wondering what he is plotting.

Levia - 'C are you still able to fight?'

C - "Yeah. (Gets up groggy) Damn it where did he go? Tsk! All I know is whatever he's planning it can't be (Looks up) Holy crap!"

Abel in an act of desperation has fired a Pumpkin Beam from inside the Celestial Fortress which has knocked it out of the air and it is now plummeting down towards the city. C in an act of valor forms his finger guns together and fires a Pumpkin Beam to destroy as much of the castle as possible. Pumpkin energy for those of you who are new is the manifestation of Caleb's will and is made mostly of his valor in the face of the odds. This is why when he is closer to death it becomes more powerful and against larger numbers grows in size. Abel however has forgotten long ago what valor is and now acts only out of selfishness and survival. C however is doing this not only to save himself but his new comrades and as many people in this city that he doesn't even know. When C's beam hits the ground underneath of the castle in manages to not only break apart the floating land mass but Abel is also caught in the blast. As piece of the once magical fort rain down around the city C finds Abel back in his throne room. Abel gets back on his feet and the two begin to charge their energy into their fists to end this fight once and for all. Abel strikes first with hook from his right fist which C blocks with his left. Once his left fist holds in place C goes for his own hook with his right hand but gets it blocked in the same way. However before Abel is capable of counter attacking C twist his left fist around Abel's so it is free from blocking and he manages to jab Abel's forehead just above the eye which stuns him for a second. With Abel stunned C then take his right fist and succeeds in landing a hard hook in the side of Abel's skull which caves it in a bit. C quickly follows it up with a punch that shatters several of Abel's ribs and knocks the wind out of him. With Abel injured and open C decides to unleash his ultimate move the Pumpkin Pummel.

C - "There's the opening I wanted! Pumpkin Pummel! (Begins to punch away) Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl! Lowl!"

With that last lowl C sends Abel flying back several feet but the tyrant still manages to get back up. Abel's armor is now dented all over, the helmet has been shattered beyond repair showing the mortal beneath, he smells of charred flesh and the joints have begun to leak blood.

Levia - 'But wait he shouldn't have been able to get back up from that unless.' ( C takes a knee)

Abel - 'This isn't fair! He caught me in an in between period. I'm not old enough to be a darkin but not young enough to rely on raw power. Damn (Begins to blink) Wait how many of you are there?! Why am I starting to feel even more desperation?!'

What Abel saw was multiple Calebs from across the multiverse who are also battling him. They are about to end one of the largest convergence of events in the multiverse. Seeing his opponent distracted C summons the Betwixt Knife into his hand from within his hood and transforms it into it's Betwixt Blade form. With one dash forward C cuts off Abel's head at the neck but it doesn't fall down. Instead Abel's whole body snaps backwards in agony and he begins to scream before his body explodes into smoldering blood all over the floor with his head landing in it.

Levia - 'Holy shit! Why the fuck did his body explode?!'

C - (Takes off his armor) "I know right! I only cut off his head! I mean what the fuck happened?!

? - "Bohemian Rhapsody!"

Two manicured hands appear out of thin air and tear open a portal that has Eccentric C on the other side.

Eccentric - "Darling are you alright? I was only able to find you because of something big happening in the multiverse. Don't worry I'll grab you and we can leave that (Points to Abel's head) behind us."

C takes his fellow hooded's hand and is pulled back into his own timeline. He goes into his bedroom before he decides to call off indefinitely to be alone to think about all he has seen and been through. But back in the dystopian timeline several decades have passed and the world has been united under a police state called The Remembrances which has made it's roots in Piltover. After the great war they managed to salvage technology from all over the ruined world. The main prized artifact was a cube that manipulated time which was found near the former Kumungu jungle and was reverse engineered. Eventually they managed to turn this into time travel technology and even cloned several people to bring the population back a bit. One of these clones is a woman from the past era whose main goal in life was to serve her city but also to make C suffer for his crimes. On the anniversary of the Great Liberation she is tasked to go back in time and complete a vital task that will solidify the regime's power. She lands on one of the front cars of a train in the targonian mountains. She shoots her way to the front of the train and plants a bomb on the front of the train which will send it plummeting down below. When she returns to her time she is asked to fill out some paperwork.

Rank: Sheriff (Pulsefire)

Name: Caitlyn

Task: Ensure the creation of the tyrant known as Abel.

A/N Man this was a long one but I hope I got enough of each skin series from the dystopian timeline. I'm tired so I'm gonna keep this note brief. I hope you all enjoy this, spread the word if you did, follow, fav, request a multiverse and check out my other stories. This chapter is called the orchid and the dandelion because those are two psychological classifications of children. Abel is the orchid who snapped since he wasn't able to supported and Caleb is the dandelion who despite all that has happened to him still helps other. I also feel like to a lesser extent a theme of this chapter is letting go since Abel, the projects, and Caitlyn couldn't so they helped to doom their world.
