Hey guys. Second Chapter up. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy it!

One Year Later…..

Background

It has been one year since Kris, Abel, and Cait have become official summoners of the Institute of War. They are still novice summoners, but are quickly rising in reputation amongst their colleagues. They have already made some acquaintances and friends among the champions and other summoners. However, little do they realize that there is a growing darkness in the Institute of War that is threatening to break out and throw everything into chaos.

Ashe was in the fight of her life. She was just supposed to be fighting some bots, "for training purposes" they said. "It'll be fun," they said.

Well, this was not training, and this most definitely was not fun. Ashe threw herself onto the ground to avoid one of the many snares that the opponent in front of her had just unleashed.

She tucked into a roll and came on one knee. She knocked a handful of arrows in her bow, aimed, and released. The arrows flew true and the Morgana bot looked like a walking pin cushion. However, that was the problem: it was still walking.

Now! A voice in her head commanded. Immediately, Ashe drew another arrow and imbued it with her ice-cold magic. She fired the frozen arrow at her enemy who was unable to dodge in time and the arrow flew straight into the bots face. The bot immediately froze, and then fell onto the ground with a crash. It shattered into a million pieces and Ashe let out a sigh of relief.

Nice, you have slain an enemy! The voice in her head said.

Ha, thanks summoner. Ashe replied via thought.

Hey, no problem, you're do-WATCH OUT! The voice yelled.

Ashe jumped at the sudden warning and her summoner flashed her to the side. She was unsure of what the danger was, but she knew better than to disregard the voice. However, she didn't get far enough and a giant explosion blasted her backwards. The last thing she saw was a small, bomb-throwing yordle bot come out of the bush laughing manically. Then everything went black.

"Wow, we just got wrecked," said a certain black-haired summoner.

"Those weren't regular bots were they," the frost archer accused, "what did you do?"

Kris let out a short laugh and just gave the freljord warrior a knowing grin, "Let's just say I got a little bored over the break. We kept winning our games so I thought I would spice things up. Oh, and before you say anything, Yool gave me permission to…tamper...with the bots ahead of time."

Ashe sighed, "Ok, that may be so, but how were you able to make them so strong?"

"Oh, it wasn't just me, Abel and Cait helped out too." Kris said.

Ashe sighed, "You three….it's always you three. Speak of the devils."

Just then, two brunette summoner's walked up to Kris and Ashe.

"Dude," Abel said with obvious happiness, "that was awesome."

Even Cait, the normally unemotional one had a smile on her face.

"Well, we did make it that way," Kris said, "The bots of doom…."

"I think I hate you guys." Said the Frost Archer, "oh hey Sona."

The blue haired musician strung a cord to announce her greetings and arrival. Then struck another one. Cait giggled and everyone else just looked at the two silent ones with looks of confusion.

"Speak English please," Abel said with a sigh of exasperation.

Sona just struck a few more chords and Cait walked over and plucked a few strings of her own. The two girls just looked at each other and giggled.

"Traitor," Abel growled at his sister.

The boys, totally unsure of what was unfolding before them, turned to the other female present, hoping that she would be able to explain the situation. After all, Ashe was a girl and this was obviously girl thing as it didn't make sense to them.

Ashe just looked at the two boys and gave a smirk, before walking over to Sona and playing a few notes. Truthfully, she had no idea what she was doing, but if it was something that would get back at the boys who just made her go through that traumatizing experience, she would risk a little embarrassment. Sona looked at her with confusion but Ashe gave a wink out of sight of the boys and hoped she would catch on.

Cait obviously did and just started laughing, followed by Ashe and soon Sona. Kris and Abel just looked at each other sighed. Girls were definitely weird.

"Hey, where is Fizz?" Kris asked.

"I don't know," Abel replied, "After the match he just left saying something about saving the fishes."

For the past few months, the three summoners and these three champs made a deal to have a match every Saturday and then go out to lunch afterwards. They had while they were still learning the ropes, each summoner had bonded to a champ. Cait had become friends with Sona, Kris was sure it was because they both didn't really speak and Cait could somehow communicate through Sona's instrument, though he didn't know how.

Abel had befriended Fizz. It didn't take long for Kris to realize the reason. They both were tricksters and had very defined senses of humor. The way that Kris had met Ashe was that unbeknownst to many besides the people in the group, both Kris and Ashe had a love for reading. They met once while Kris had snuck into the Library at night. Ashe was on one of the couches asleep, with a book open on her lap. After almost putting an arrow through his head, the two learned about each other's love for books and hit it off from there. Ever since, the six of them had become good friends.

"Well, if Fizz isn't going to be here, do you guys still want to go out, or should we take a break for today?" Kris asked.

"I'm up for whatever," the freljordian said.

Sona plucked a few cords and then shrugged. Cait followed suit.

Kris looked at Abel who looked like he was about to speak and then stopped.

"What?" Kris asked.

Abel walked over to Kris and then turned his back towards the others.

"Hey, why don't we do that instead today." Abel whispered.

"You don't mean…" Kris whispered back.

"Yeah, now would be perfect. We have to do it soon anyway, the tournament is going to start soon and then it'll be too late."

Kris thought about it for a moment and then nodded. The two boys turned to the ladies.

"We just remembered that we had to do something-," Abel said.

"Why don't you guys have like a girls day or something. Go shopping, paint your nails." Kris finished.

"Oh, but make sure you go to the champion spectator stand at 3-," Abel started.

"We're putting on a show," Kris finished.

Then the two took off down the hallway. The two champions looked at Cait for an answer but she just shrugged, she had as much as an idea of what they were doing as they did.

"I just hope they don't get in trouble…" Ashe said as the three girls watched the retreating boys.

I wonder what their plan could be...

Actually I don't cause I'm the author and I know exactly what they are planning. That sentence is what you guys are supposed to be thinking are supposed to then look forward to the next chapter of this fanfic. You won't be able to sleep or eat. You will just sit in front of your computer hitting the refresh button until you see that i updated the next chapter. All because I left you on the most hangcliffiest of hangliffers.
