Well hello there, first I'd like to welcome you to this story and thank you for clicking on it. It's an idea of mine that popped into my head about a week ago and has been nothing but exciting since it came to me, any way I think that's enough of me let's get on with the first chapter.

Caitlyn
Today had not been a good day; she had been forced to wake up early due to another bank 'robbery' by Jinx. Which was made a thousand times more annoying by the fact that she hadn't actually stolen anything, She'd only blown a hole into the safe and drawn stick figures of what she assumed was Vi based on the very big hands. Her partner hadn't taken the humor so well and had punched another hole into the side of the bank, which caused the bank manager to faint.
Needless to say she had forced Vi to help clean up the debris. Then she learned that she had been called in for a match at the League of Legends, and not an important one either, it was one of those matches that were often held for entertainment. She had tried to squeeze out of it by saying that she was too busy to participate but they had somehow figured out she was lying and told her to come in.
When she arrived she had been told that the match would be a different champion from different kingdoms and city-states against champions from the Shadow Isles. Not a bad idea but it wasn't something she wanted to have randomly thrown at her, after all the champions from the Shadow Isles were some of the strongest and most ruthless among the entire roster. She had met her team minutes before the game had started, with Renekton sent to face off against Hecarim in the top half of the map and Lee Sin to share the jungle with Elise. It left Twisted Fate to cover Karthus in the middle lane of the rift, and Braum to watch her back in the bottom lane against Kalista and Thresh.
It had started off well enough, and she used that term loosely because it really hadn't. At around the ten minute mark the summoner who had been controlling Renekton had loudly announced that he didn't have time to babysit unskilled summoners and had left. Without anyone to control Renekton he had been taken out of the match to avoid him hurting anyone on his own team, but instead of ending the match and rescheduling it for another day someone thought that it was a good idea to keep it going despite her team being one man down.
So here she was, losing a match that had absolutely no purpose at all, besides give her a headache. She sighed and rubbed her forehead as the last minion in a wave was killed. Her lane partner quirked an eyebrow at this and placed a hand on her shoulder before tilting his head to the side.
"Is something the matter friend?"
She looked up at the incredibly tall Heart of the Freljord and shook her head.
"No, just tired."
"Ah, have you tried drinking goats milk? It is the best medicine, other than laughing of course."
"I haven't, but thank you for the advice Braum."
"Braum is always happy to help a friend in need."
"Caitlyn, Twisted Fate is asking for aid in the middle lane, all of the Shadow Isle champions are beginning to gather there."
At the command from her summoner Caitlyn gave a nod and turned toward Braum to see him already making his way toward the requested area. After trekking through the river both Caitlyn and Braum emerged next to the weakened tower to see all five champions of the Shadow Isles patiently waiting for an opportunity to attack. Twisted Fate was leaning against the tower with sweat dripping from his brow at having to hold the tower by himself against the enemy team.
At the sight of help Twisted Fate placed two fingers against his head in mock salute and greeted them before placing both hands on his back and stretching.
"Howdy."
"Lee Sin is in position behind the enemy team."
Braum offered a large smile and a wave while Caitlyn gave a nod in acknowledgment to her summoner and started to scan the other team. Hecarim and Thresh stood in front of Elise, Kalista and Karthus while Elise sent out the occasional spiderling to try and hurt them.
'Tell Lee Sin that his target is Kalista, and we're ready when he is.'
"Got it."
The Shadow Isle champions had managed to push the minion wave closer to the tower and Caitlyn could see the anticipation in their eyes at the upcoming fight.
"He's ready in 3…"
Twisted Fate spun a golden card in his right hand, as the enemy team got closer.
"…2…"
Braum cracked his neck and readied his shield while Caitlyn shot at the enemy minions to feign ignorance of Lee Sin's position.
"…1 he's going in now!"
At the announcement from her summoner Caitlyn saw a wave of energy fly out from the bushes and make contact with Kalista and immediately Lee Sin came flying out and collided with her. In less than a second Lee Sin had landed his infamous dragon kick right into Kalista's gut and sent her flying toward them. Without missing a beat Twisted Fate had sent his golden card at Kalista and as soon as it hit she saw the enemy marksman's limbs lock up and without a chance to protect herself from the combined onslaught from Caitlyn and the tower Kalista faded in a flash of light and 'died'.
The bruised and bloodied Lee Sin came toward the rest of the team, which was being chased by the menacing form of Hecarim being accompanied by his spectral riders. As soon as he got close Hecarim took a swipe at Caitlyn with his glaive, which she narrowly avoided, before Braum slammed his shield into the behemoth and slammed him against the tower. She spun and saw Twisted Fate with a chain wrapped around his arm while slowly being pulled toward the waiting figures of Thresh and Karthus.
She heard a hissing sound and spun around just in time to see Elise, in spider form, launch herself at her and had just enough time to fire her ninety-caliber net and launch herself back before Elise got the chance to sink her fangs into her. With more distance created Caitlyn managed to shoot out one of Elise's legs and with a hiss of pain she reverted to her human form.
"You'll pay for that."
With a wave of her hand Elise sent a spiderling toward the sniper, without any tools to escape Caitlyn watched the spider explode and felt herself get hit with the corrosive acid it was filled with. It burned at her skin and she fought the urge to drop her gun and cradle her wound, it was at this moment where Elise shifted back into spider form and once again threw herself at Caitlyn.
She watched almost in slow motion as the spider queen got closer, and at the last possible second her view was blocked by the large back of Braum.
"You thought you were in trouble."
She went slack jawed at the implications of Braum standing in front of her.
"You won against Hecarim?"
"Actually… Turret won against Hecarim, but Braum is the one who kept him against it, hehehe."
Caitlyn let a small smirk appear on her face, as Elise seemed to realize the situation and tried to escape, only to be hit in the back by any icy blast from Braum's shield. Slowed by the heavy force, she was quickly put down after Caitlyn fired a peacemaker to the back of her head.
Remembering Twisted Fates own predicament Caitlyn spun around and saw both Twisted Fate and Lee Sin slowly make their way toward them. When all four teammates were grouped together the card master was the first one to speak.
"Well, that could'a been worse."
"I doubt that we will be so lucky next time, for now I would suggest we stay together and take a tower."
Nobody seemed to argue with Lee Sin's idea, and with that all members of the team took the enemies first middle lane turret.
'Maybe we actually have a chance at winning.'

'I just had to say it.'
After their first team fight things had gone down hill for the four-man squad, the enemy team refused to fight them under any tower and only started fights in open areas or the jungle. With only Braum at the front line their team had a serious lack of people capable of withstanding the full weight of the Shadow Isle champions. Again and again they would lose fights and objectives, and at this very moment they were potentially looking at the last team fight of the game. The enemy team had destroyed the last turret that protected their top lane inhibitor and was hovering just outside waiting for the right moment to strike.
"You got any bright ideas sheriff?"
Caitlyn would have said something had she not been deep in thought trying to actually think up a plan.
'If Braum can occupy Hecarim like last time, no he'll need a turret for that. What if Lee Sin can single out Kalista? No she's to deep in the backline for that. Maybe-'
Her thinking was cut off when she heard the battle cry from Hecarim signaling that he had run out of patients and had charged right at them.
Braum put up his shield to try and block him but Hecarim literally charged through him before being tangled in one of Elise's webs. Hecarim managed to stop right in front of Twisted Fate, the card master tried to throw out a golden card but before he could Hecarim used his glaive to impale him, and Twisted fate faded away in a bright light. Lee Sin jumped and landed a dragon kick straight to Hecarim's chest that sent him crashing to the ground, but wasn't prepared for the chain that wrapped itself around his leg.
With his target captured Thresh used it to pull himself toward the blind monk and sent out his lantern to bring Kalista with him. With one of his legs trapped Lee Sin did a handstand and used his free leg to quick Thresh right between the eyes, but his lack of mobility cost him and a spear from Kalista quickly put him down.
In wait seemed like less than a second half of her team had been cut down and Caitlyn hadn't been able to do anything. She took a few shots at Thresh and Kalista but had to quickly launch herself backward as Thresh threw his chain directly at her. With too much distance between her and Braum she watched as he slammed his shield into the ground and created a large icy fissure. He made it a few steps away before and explosion of dark magic forced him to his feet and multiple others made him fall face first into the ground and fade in a flash of light.
With no other choice Caitlyn turned to return to the well to avoid dying one last time but before she got the chance she felt her foot get snagged and looked down to see it stuck in a spider web.
"I told you that you'd pay."
At the sound of Elise Caitlyn turned at the last moment to see a large spider flying directly toward her. The last thing she saw was the fangs of a large spider sink into her chest.

After a match on the summoners rift Caitlyn was used to waking up in soft beds with a warm blanket in their med bay. So when she opened her eyes and saw herself surrounded by trees she really didn't know what to say, she took a step forward and felt herself kick something. When she looked down she saw her rifle lying there, she quickly bent down, picked it up and wiped the dirt off of it. She glance around one more time to try and get an idea of where she was but couldn't think of anything, maybe Ionia but honestly wasn't sure.
'So I've figured out where I'm not, sort of. Now should I start moving or stay put.'
A rustling in the bushes behind her caused her to spin around and see what appeared to be a black and white Rammus rolling at her. When it showed no sign of stopped she jumped out of the way, the rolling thing stopped spinning and popped out of its ball to show that it was actually a black pig with white bone like armor. Caitlyn took a quick shot at it only to have her shot bounce off of its white armor, another shot at its black skin penetrated the creature and showed Caitlyn where to shoot. But before she could the creature rolled into another ball and went at her again, she dodged once again but instead of stopping the creature went back for another pass. This time when Caitlyn dodged she shot her net at the pig causing it to get tangled and unable to move even as it struggled to break free.
With no possible way to miss, Caitlyn took another shot straight through it. It squealed once before going silent. After the strange confrontation Caitlyn was able to quickly come to a decision.
'I probably shouldn't stay in one spot for too long.'
With her mind made up Caitlyn made her way through the thick forest to try and figure out what had happened to her.

And there is the very first chapter of this story. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Not much else to say really other than I listened to the Thresh login music on repeat while I wrote this, which is cool since sleeping is overrated anyway. Well that's enough of me talking; as always tell me what you guys/gals thought in a review. Later.
