Chapter 2
Leandro: Friends and Lovers
6:50 P.M.
I entered the detention center and waited for Katarina, the one who tried to kill me, to sit and talk. When I saw her, I said –
Leandro: You're name is Katarina, correct? You are from the kingdom of Noxus?
Katarina: You are well informed. How did you know me despite you only met me when I tried to kill you.
Leandro: If I answered that question, would you believe me?
Katarina: If there is nothing going to lose, fine. Besides, I'm caged here.
Leandro: Yeah, I see it already. Are you prepared for my answer?
Katarina: Yes.
Leandro: You know you guys are based on a game.
Katarina: Are you serious?
Leandro: Yes. And your eyes and my device can prove it.
6:56 P.M.
I showed her videos on how she did the combos, and I told about her story, from when she became an assassin, to the mistake that leaves a wound on her face. She said –
Katarina: I can't believe it. You know the whole story, from that device.
Leandro: Surprised? Well, I don't know if I'm in a game or I'm in the real world.
Katarina: Well you know already this is the real world since I stabbed you with my throwing knives.
Leandro: As there is someone says, "Truth is painful".
Katarina: You got a very accurate point. Umm… What is your name, young man, by the way?
Leandro: Oh yeah. Sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Leandro Ian Estrella. You can call me Leandro.
Katarina: Nice to meet you, Leandro.
Leandro: Want candies?
Katarina: If you want to do it, do it.
Leandro: Alright then.
7:01 A.M.
I grabbed my candies from my pocket. When I place it on my table, I asked her –
Leandro: So, what flavor of candy did you want? You may choose all of them Katarina, it is on your choice.
Katarina: Which one is sweet in flavor? You know, I like eating something sweet, since when I was a kid.
Leandro: Cherry, lemon, and orange are the sweet flavors you want. Here, take these candies.
Katarina: Uh… thanks. Umm…
Leandro: Want something to ask?
Katarina: Actually, yes. If you please, don't tell to your friends. It's only for the two of us.
Leandro: I understand. But please, for one condition.
Katarina: What is it?
Leandro: Join us. This is the way to help to forget the past.
Katarina: I guess I might refuse that.
Leandro: Why?
Katarina: Because If I agreed, the Hand of Noxus will punish me for betraying my country.
Leandro: I know the person you referred to. Are you talking about the one named Darius?
Katarina: You know him?
Leandro: Never met him in person, but I know he is a merciless person, from his looks and attitude. As I know, he wields an axe. He will kill anyone who stands in his way.
Katarina: That's why I will refuse now. If I join you, that means I betrayed my commander's orders. He will also hunt me down, as they hunted you and your team.
Leandro: If that's what you are saying, I would rather die for my friends than my friends die for me. I am a man of my word.
Katarina: But how long can you fight? You can't beat him.
Leandro: I don't step backwards when I fight my enemy in my front. I will fight until I became like a slaughtered animal in Darius eyes, or until he dies with my hands on his bloody neck. I fight not just for my country, I fight for my friends. Please, Katarina. Fight not just for your country, it is fighting for the thing what it is right. If you think you are forced to do the wrong thing, don't do the wrong thing. Fight for what is right.
Katarina: I understand. Before I go back to my cell, I would like to apologize for the wounds I gave you.
Leandro: This wound? I'm fine now. And I feel even comfortable when you are with us now. I'll tell Garen to release you because you are now our ally.
Katarina: Are you sure?
Leandro: I'm a man of my word. I'll do what I say. Just wait there okay? I'll be right back.
Katarina: O… okay.
7:12 P.M.
I left the detention center for awhile to talk to Garen.
Leandro: Sir Garen, I would like to talk to you.
Garen: Just call me Garen only please.
Leandro: Okay. Garen, I have talked to Katarina.
Garen: And?
Leandro: I would like to release her from the cell.
Garen: Are you really serious? You want to let the assassin free, the one who tried to kill you?
Leandro: Listen, I have spoken to her. She is forced by Darius, the Hand of Noxus.
Garen: Darius? That madman will pay. Okay, I'll agree to your terms, but on one condition, my friend.
Leandro: I'm all ears.
Garen: Always be with her side. If you can prove it, I might consider her as my ally. You know why?
Leandro: Yeah. If it is because of the Demacian- Noxian conflict, I'll do my best to make you comfortable when you are on her side. If that's all, condition accepted.
Garen: Just be careful, okay? You know there are shit happens here.
Leandro: Understood. It's okay to free her now.
7:18 P.M.
After our agreement, Katarina is freed from prison. She said –
Katarina: Sigh… I'm free once again.
Garen: Katarina, we made an agreement to free you, in condition of that you must always with him.
Katarina: Yeah. I know.
Leandro: Don't worry, Garen. I'll observe her.
Garen: If you want, get some weapons here and items you need on this store.
Leandro: Uh, I don't have the same currency as yours.
Garen: Don't worry. You have it already.
Leandro: Huh? Where?
Garen: In a sack at your vehicle. Look!
Leandro: That is impossi - WHAT THE FUCK!
7:22 P.M.
When I checked the back of the vehicle, I almost dropped my jaw and slipped to the floor when I saw sacks of gold coins.
Ashe: What is going on?
Leandro: Where are these sacks of gold coins came from?
Katarina: Maybe because you killed many creeps in the battle, that's all I know.
Leandro: I see. So how did it got here?
Leona: Maybe it is because the only property you owned was that vehicle. Each champion has storage for their coins. If not, in your case, possibly it is in the property you owned, like your car for example, Leandro.
Leandro: That's a great possibility. Someone or something thought my car is some sort of coin storage.
Ashe: If you don't like it, we will ask the store owner to help you have your own gold coin container nearby his store.
Leandro: Fine to me.
Ashe: Come with me.
7:24 P.M.
Ashe and I went to the shop to ask its owner to give me a coin container. She yelled –
Ashe: Ma'am? Are you there?
Owner: Oh hello there, young lady. How may I help you?
An old woman just appeared out of his store. Ashe said –
Ashe: A friend of mine is hassled by these coins. Mind if you give us a coin container?
Owner: Who is that person? May I see that person?
Leandro: Nice to meet you ma'am.
Owner: It's nice to meet you. What is your name, young man?
Leandro: I am Leandro Ian Estrella, from the world known as Earth. I'm just new here, so I don't know what to do. That is why my friend asks help in my place.
Owner: Leandro, huh? Actually, you are just in time to receive it today.
Leandro: Oh! Thank you so much, ma'am.
Owner: Oh come on, enough the flattery. Anyway, you and that white haired woman…
Leandro: Yes?
Owner: Are you two lovers?
Ashe & Leandro: What? (*blush*) Why do you ask? (*blush*)
Owner: You were very close on each other. I almost imagine you two are lovers.
Ashe: Please stop it.
Lux: What's wrong? Don't you like him?
Ashe: Ah! Did you just?
Lux: I'm reading your mind, yes.
Ashe: Wah! Whoa… WHOA! I'm slipping! AH!
Leandro: Whoa! AGH!
Ashe and I slipped on the floor. When I am rubbing my head, trying to ease my pain, I just touched something I must not touch.
Leandro: Oww… That hurts. (*squish*) Wait. What is this squishy thing in my hand?
Ashe: That's me you are touching, you pervert!
Leandro: AHK! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I swear it! Please calm down.
Rey: If I were you, I must run now.
Ashe: You will pay for it, you pervert.
Leandro: (*gulp*)
7:30 P.M.
Because I touched her breasts (even it is an accident), she is blushed and angry at the same time, while I am scared because of her angry face. She grabs her icy bow, the bow of Avarosa, and her arrows and aimed at me.
Ashe: You…. YOU… Prepare to die, you pervert!
Leandro: SHIT! HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP! She is unleashing her multiple shots! Help! OUCH! OUCH! Stop it! OW! OW! OW! Please stop! I'm sorry!
Ashe: I'll kill you, you bastard! ENCHANTED CRYSTAL ARROW!
Leandro: YIKES! That was close.
Ashe: I will not stop until you die!
Leandro: HHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPP!
Rey: Hell yeah, one point for the commander. Caitlyn, would you lock me up in your cell with you?
Caitlyn: Huh? Why?
Rey: So that I will be with you forever.
Caitlyn: (*blush*) You made my heart beat when I heard that.
Rey: I hope you like it.
Caitlyn: Shall we go over there? I would like to talk with you.
Rey: Sure, if you want to. (Hell yeah!)
Caitlyn: Come here. We will have a long conversation, and some checking if you want.
Rey: (*blush*) If you say so.
Lux: We must return to Demacia for our dinner. Are you ready?
Garen: Yes. (*vanish*)
Leandro: HEY! HELP ME!
Ashe: Got you! Wait! Not getting slipped again! WAH! (*thud*)
Leandro: Shit! Not again! AH! (*thud*)
7:35 P.M.
And once again, we got slipped. This time, Ashe touched the thing men have. When we recovered from the pain from getting slipped to the rocky floor, Ashe said –
Ashe: Ouch! That hurts.
Leandro: Are you okay?
Ashe: Yeah (*squish*) Wait. Why is this stick so soft?
Leandro: AHK! What the? You're touching my stick!
Ashe: Wah! My bad! (*blush*) I'm sorry.
Leandro: Ehh… No problem. We are always slipped in here, so it's fine. Let's go to my humvee in order for us to rest.
Ashe: Thanks. If you want, you can take some rest too with me.
Leandro: Are you sure? No problems now?
Ashe: Yes. We'll cover ourselves with the cape to make our sleep even better.
Leandro: If you wish.
Katarina: Where do you want me to sleep?
Leandro: Oh yeah. You can take a rest in this seat. It can be bent into a small bed.
Katarina: Thanks.
Leandro: Come in. You need some rest.
Katarina: Uhh… Thanks for everything. I'll go to rest now.
Leandro: Okay. If you need anything, call me right away.
Katarina: Understood. Good night, Leandro.
Leandro: You too. Take a good rest.
7: 41 P.M.
After I took care of Katarina, I went back to take a rest myself. Ashe said –
Ashe: Come in now. You need to rest.
Leandro: Thank you, Princess Ashe.
Ashe: Don't call me like that. Despite I'm a princess of my tribe, we are friends now. So call me Ashe only, okay?
Leandro: Understood, Ashe.
Ashe: Because you saved me, I would like to give you a kiss.
Leandro: Whoa. Seriously?
Ashe: Yes.
Leandro: If that's what the princess wants, I will accept it.
7:43 P.M.
Ashe came closer to me. She holds my back as I hold hers too. Our faces went closer and closer until our lips stick together. She gave me a warm kiss in my lips and holds for a while. When we separate our lips, I said –
Leandro: You know Ashe, you are my first kiss.
Ashe: Really? You don't have a partner? Someone you love for the rest of your life?
Leandro: Unfortunately, I don't have. From my birth to this day, I have no partner to give my love.
Ashe: Why?
Leandro: I always focused on helping my community as a citizen of my nation as I studied as a student. I dreamed to be a teacher to be able to help them, and to be a soldier to defend our land. That's why I entered a university to be able to prepare myself.
Ashe: If you want, I'll offer you to teach my countrymen to be the first teacher?
Leandro: Really?
Ashe: Yeah. I am trying to show to the other nations that we people of Freljord are united once again. We need knowledge that might be helpful for us to prosper.
Leandro: If your people needed knowledge that might prosper your country, I will lend you a hand.
Ashe: Thank you.
Leandro: Okay, let's take some rest. We need to gain strength for now.
Ashe: Understood. Good night, Leandro.
Leandro: Good night, Ashe. If you sense something, call me immediately.
Ashe: Understood.
4:23 A.M.
All of us were taking a rest for the night. Even in their battle, the mighty heroes need sometimes a rest. But after many hours, I woke up in my back of my humvee. I said –
Leandro: Humph! (*stretch*) Okay. Good morning, Ashe.
Ashe: Uunngghh…. Leandro?
Leandro: Good morning Ash- SHIT! What the?
When I woke her up, I saw that she is hugging me like a teddy bear. I said –
Leandro: Would you please let me go? I can't breathe.
Ashe: Oops, sorry Leandro.
Leandro: Would you please calm yourself down okay? My back hurts because you hugged me tight, you know.
Ashe: Your back hurts, huh? Come here!
Leandro: What the? Whoa!
4:26 A.M.
Ashe made a devilish smile and pulled my arms near her and closed the backdoor of the car. Ashe said –
Ashe: So you want to get some hugs, huh?
Leandro: Wait, what? AGH! My back! OWW! That hurts! Stop it!
Ashe: Okay, I'll stop it now. (*sigh*)
Leandro: Hey, are you okay? I'm just joking about my back. You may hug me, if you want.
Ashe: Just let me hug you, as my thanks to you. I want to confess… that I really like you, from that day you rescued me. I almost dreamed that you are my knight in shining armor.
Leandro: (*gulp*) (Shit! I know where this happening will lead to.) You…
Ashe: I love you Leandro. From the way you took care of your friends you just known, you give them happiness. That's one of the traits I want to my future husband that I have found in you. Please, let me show you how I love you.
Leandro: (Shit. Goodbye virginity for me.) Wait. Are sure you are ready for this?
Ashe: I am. (*kiss*)
Ashe kissed me slowly in my lips. When I felt her lips in mine, I closed my eyes like I'm dreaming, and hold her back as I laid her down. She also did the same as mine as we kissed. And when we separate our lips, I said –
Leandro: I… I love you, Ashe. I will protect you and I will die for you, if necessary. You are always will be my queen who will see the prospered kingdom of Freljord, forever.
Ashe: Leandro... I will also die for you. I will fight alongside you, until my life is gone.
Leandro: Ashe… Thank you… for everything.
Ashe: Come here.
Leandro: Okay. I love you.
Ashe: I love you too.
5:12 A.M.
I went close to her, giving her a kiss that lasts for several seconds. As we endured the cold morning, we cover our bodies with her cape, to give us warmth from the freezing cold. After an hour, she said –
Ashe: I guess you want me to be your queen.
Leandro: I guess so.
Ashe: Heeheehee. If we have time for fun, I'll go with you, wherever you will go.
Leandro: If you want to go, I'll take you to the beautiful places I know.
Ashe: Sounds good to hear it.
5:14 A.M.
After my agreement with Ashe, Rey interrupted our talk to greet us.
Rey: Hey good morning.
Leandro: Good morning dude… What the… Wait a second. What happened to Caitlyn?
When I saw Caitlyn, sleeping, piggybacked at Rey's, I asked him.
Rey: Caitlyn got asleep when we watched the movies in my phone. Good god, she's sleeping like a cute child, hugging me like a teddy bear.
Leandro: Hahahaha. Anyway, so you have chosen Caitlyn as your wife, eh?
Rey: Huh? I guess so.
Leandro: I promise you. You and Caitlyn are meant to be, unless you have no faith to her.
Caitlyn: Don't worry. I have trust in Rey, so I have no worries, unless he wants to get handcuffed in my bed.
Caitlyn suddenly talks after she wakes up while being piggybacked by Rey. Rey replied –
Rey: Come on, Caitlyn. I promise you, you and me were meant to be. Once that day comes, we will make our sacred pledge to live together.
Leandro: Nice. Good to hear that you have promised that to Caitlyn. I know you finished the course of Hotel and Restaurant Services, so I will expect good foods. Why not start popularizing her city's food industry.
Rey: Hey! That's not a bad idea. You are a genius! I almost plan on building my own restaurant there for my business.
Caitlyn: You're not bad for just a teenager for making an industry plan. Developing food industries among the nations is a great advantage to share knowledge on a nation's culinary cuisine.
Rey: Yeah. I want to know the other nations' cuisines, you know?
Leandro: It is more than that, actually. Aside from negotiation talks, foods can be an advantage for diplomatic relations. It could improve or relations or cool down the tensions between 2 countries. This plan will not work if it is too late to cool it down because a country is an aggressive one.
Garen: I see.
Leandro: Huh? Oh! Garen!
5:18 A.M.
Suddenly, Garen interrupted our discussion as he is teleported back to battle.
Leandro: Oh! You returned! As I remembered, you went somewhere, correct? Is it at Demacia?
Garen: Yes. We just have our dinner with the rest of my family in Demacia. I also stayed on my house to take some rest.
Leandro: Good. Well, I want to finish your fight as possible before I leave this realm. So who will lead the attacks in the 3 sides?
Garen: I will go at the center with Blitzcrank and Yasuo, Caitlyn will be at the left sector with Jinx, my little sister and Rey. In the right will be –
Leandro: Ashe, Leona, Katarina and me.
Garen: With Katarina? Are you sure you want to join her?
Leandro: Yes. I can stop her if she is forced in some point. I will fight her or that man named Darius to end Katarina's suffering.
Garen: If you will face Darius, be careful of his swift axe attacks. He will run towards you and attempts to smash you in the face, like a watermelon.
Leandro: I know. I have equipped myself with special incendiary rounds in my assault rifle, armor piercing rounds on my sniper rifle, and a pistol.
Ashe: If you want, I'll give you this true ice potion.
Leandro: What's the advantage?
Ashe: It will give you the power of ice, just like mine. It will also helps you to be immortal.
Leandro: What is the disadvantage on taking this?
Ashe: You will gain immortality. You will not die while your relatives die by their disease and oldness. Do you want to use it?
Leandro: Not now. I want to use my skills I have. Sometimes I must not be dependent on some powers. I will use those if necessary.
Ashe: I understand if you refuse.
Leandro: Okay. So are we prepared to strike?
All: (*nod*)
Leandro: Let's go.
5:22 A.M.
We divided into 3 teams to strike the enemies. Garen's team was at the mid lane of the area, while Rey is in the top lane, while I am in the bottom lane. When I went to look for enemies in a distance, I used my thermal scope to scan if the area is clear. When I saw one, which is identified as Skarner, I took 2 suppressed shots to scare the enemy out of his hiding place. When the enemy is scared on those shots, he almost said "Shit" to himself when he realized I can see him and he didn't know me on what can I do to shot him down. When he tried to hide again, I shot him in the head with my sniper rifle that ended the enemy's life and returned to the enemy's base, trying to recover from the injury.
Leandro: Okay… time to look for another target.
5:25 A.M.
When I tried to scan the area with my scope again, something moved in the jungle area near my position. I used my thermal imaging scope to know who it is. When I gain visual on the target, I saw a cute poro going outside of the bush. When the little white furry creature saw me, it went headed towards me to request for cuddling. I put my rifle's sling on my left shoulder and I pet him while looking for the enemies. When I put the poro down and went to the other bush, the poro still follows me, wherever I go. I said to the poro –
Leandro: Okay little guy. Just be always at my back. I don't want to let you hurt. Okay?
Poro: (*nod*)
Leandro: Okay. Here! Wear this hat, my little guy. This will help you blend in to the grass when I need you to run. When I say run, you run, do you understand?
Poro: (*cuddling*)
Leandro: That's probably yes, I guess. Let's go, buddy. We will end this battle today.
5:32 A.M.
While Ashe, Leona, Katarina, I, and my little buddy waiting for the attack, I saw a movement at the way. We hide in the tall grasses in order for the enemy will never know where we are. When we saw the figure in the enemy's side, Katarina is hesitated to fight. She said –
Katarina: No… Why is this fate so cruel? Sister…
Leandro: What is happening Katarina?
Katarina: My sister… is here.
Leandro: Shit.
Ashe: What's wrong?
Leandro: Cassiopeia is here. I guess I'll use this sleeper ammunition darts to speed this up.
Katarina: Don't shoot her.
Leandro: Don't worry. This will make her sleep, not kill her.
Katarina: Just don't hurt her.
Leandro: Don't worry. It's just like an ant bite when shot. (*shot*)
Cassiopeia: KAH! (*faint*)
Katarina: Sister! I'm coming for you!
Leandro: Wait! Get away from her!
When Katarina tries to approach her sister, I run to take her away from the area because of what might happen. Ashe said –
Ashe: Watch out! Incoming!
Katarina: Sister! I'll get you out of here.
5:35 A.M.
I saw a giant chained anchor thrown, is heading towards Katarina. When Katarina don't know about it, I pushed her away.
Leandro: Katarina! Get out! (*push*)
I am able to push her and her sister away to an enemy attack. But I am hit instead. Fortunately, am able to defend myself when I am hit on a tree and spits a bit of blood from my mouth. I said –
Leandro: You coward! Show me your face! Come on! I'm not scared of you! Fight me instead of her.
Ashe: NO! Get out of there!
Katarina: Leandro! Get away from there!
I saw a giant armor of steel. When I looked at the enemy's head, I saw 2 circles of blue light inside the helmet, filled with darkness. I said –
Leandro: You are… Nautilus, I presume?
Nautilus: You know my name? You…
Leandro: Yes?
Nautilus: The ones who know about me are the ones who killed me. Are you one of those sailors who killed me?
Leandro: Before I answer that, are you the one who placed Cassiopeia in our path?
Nautilus: No. She is ordered by Darius to find Katarina. Now answer me now. Are you one of the killers?
Leandro: One more question before that. Where is Darius?
Nautilus: I'll never tell you if you don't answer me now! Are you one of those who killed me or not?
Leandro: No, I am not one of the killers. I am from other world.
Nautilus: Liar!
Leandro: Halt! (*aim*)
5:37 A.M.
Nautilus tries to swing his weapon, an anchor towards me. But before he tries to lift his giant anchor, I aimed my assault rifle, putting my trigger finger on the trigger of the grenade launcher and said –
Leandro: Stop what you are trying to do! I have rifles that could bring you down.
Nautilus: Are you serious? Those rifles will not affect me.
Leandro: Nope. These ordinary bullets are not for you. If you don't answer, take this!
5:38 A.M.
I shot a rifle grenade at a pillar, causing it fall towards Nautilus. After a pillar fall, Nautilus is still standing after he protects himself. Nautilus said –
Nautilus: That way of attack… that's from a man I have faced before in a battle. Just who the hell are you?
Leandro: Like I said, I'm from another world.
Nautilus: If you are persistent that you are from another world, show me the proof.
Leandro: Here, take this bullet. That bullet is from my rifle from another world. And another thing, would you like to see this?
Nautilus: What is it? These bullets are indeed different from the others I saw. Show me your proof that you are indeed not from this world.
Leandro: I have a video of you as a champion from a game. Here, I'll show you.
5:42 A.M.
I show his video with my phone. Nautilus said –
Nautilus: What the? Is… that me?
Leandro: Believe it or not this one is indeed you. I know your story. Your crewmates abandoned and let you until you die in the depths of the sea. After many years, you are surfaced from that sea and you tried to avenge your death by killing those who let you die.
Nautilus: You…
Leandro: The question is after you found those and kill them do you think that you will be back to life?
Nautilus: No… but I know I'll be able to have silence in my mind after those years of hunting the killers. Now, I don't have any idea where they are.
Leandro: If you want to avenge your death, would you mind if I lend you a hand?
Nautilus: You know where they are?
Leandro: I don't know exactly where they are, but there is a way to find them.
Nautilus: Are you sure you know it?
Leandro: Remember that I know where they are because I came from another world. Fortunately, I know a person who might lend you a hand.
Nautilus: Who?
Leandro: You know the one named as Kallista?
Nautilus: No. Where is that person?
Leandro: That person is located at the Shadow Isle. If you want to know who killed you, ask her. She might also help you personally to kill those who abandoned you. But it will cost your life for that.
Nautilus: I see. Thank you, my friend.
Leandro: Please join us in return. We are going to fight the Hand of Noxus today so please Nautilus. Help us on this battle. This is the battle we are trying to end. We will end the years of suffering now. Please Nautilus. Help us not just for being an ally, but as your new friend.
Nautilus: You helped me on my problem, so I will help you on that.
Leandro: Thank you… AGH! (*spit*)
5:47 A.M.
Suddenly, a thrown axe hits me on my left part of my chest. When Nautilus examines the weapon and said –
Nautilus: This axe… It's Draven's.
Katarina: Shit. Take Leandro to cover!
Leandro: Nautilus…
Nautilus: Leandro! Don't talk. Stay with us please.
Leandro: I'm okay. We are friends now, right? This man has the strong will. This wound will never kill me easily. AH!
Ashe: Leandro!
Leandro: This man… helps… those who… are in… need. Unnnggghh… (*faint*)
Ashe: His wound is fatal.
Nautilus: I'll handle him. Tell me where to set him down.
Katarina: Here at the bush. It's safe in here.
Ashe: Sorry Leandro. I have to give you this potion.
Draven: Got him…
Nautilus: You…
5:50 A.M.
Draven appeared when my friends are helping me on my wounds. Katarina said –
Nautilus: Shit! That's Draven! Quick! Help him now! I'll cover you.
Draven: Well, so I got it aimed perfectly.
Katarina: Draven! You will pay for this!
Draven: No, you will pay for this. You two betrayed Darius, so that's why he ordered me to kill you both! Now when I saw the reason of your betrayal, I went to kill him first. It looks like it ends well.
Nautilus: Like hell I'll let you live. You killed my new friend, so I will kill you. Prepare for your death!
Draven: Now I saw you two traitors, you will feel the pain.
Garen: Like hell I will let you slip in my hands!
5:52 A.M.
Garen helped us to occupy Draven. He jumped and smashes Draven with his sword. While Katarina and Nautilus fought Draven, Garen said –
Garen: Nautilus, protect them quick. I'll handle this guy.
Draven: If you can.
Draven tried to use his other axe to kill me completely, but it was deflected by Nautilus' steel body.
Garen: You will face me now, you coward.
Garen uses his first move which he will glow his sword and charge through the enemy and uses a hammer style hit. When Garen glows his sword for the attack, Draven says –
Draven: Shit.
Garen: I would run if I were you. Charge!
Draven: SHIT! YIKES! (*run*)
Garen: I won't let you escape!
Draven: YYYYEEEEEAAAARRRGGGGGGHHHH!
5:55 A.M.
While Garen is chasing Draven to hunt him down, Ashe uses the potion to help me. She poured it on her mouth first and passes the potion on me by lips to lips. Even after she poured the potion to my mouth, I'm still not breathing. After a few second, when my body has still no sign of life, Katarina said while she cried –
Katarina: No… Leandro… (*sob*) Why… why didn't I listen to him from the beginning? Please tell me that this is a bad dream.
Leona: What happened?
Nautilus: He died… for us.
Leona: No… (*sob*) You got to be kidding me…
Leona tries to hear any heartbeat in my body, but she heard none, even the slightest of it. She shed tears when she doesn't hear any signs of life and said –
Leona: No… Why did you have to die? I told you… (*sob*) that you will live for us, right? Why did you have to die? Why!?
Katarina: He fought for his friends. He is a great friend… a great man.
Leona: He is truly… a man that I'm proud of. He is the great example of a great ally who must be followed by many generations as a symbol of courage, peace, and loyalty.
Katarina and Leona accepted my terrible fate while Ashe still believes I'll be come back to life. She said –
Ashe: No. Leandro… Please… open your eyes. Please… (*sob*) don't die…
Leona: Ashe… he's gone. He's dead.
Ashe: No…
When she felt that she lost hope on bringing me back to life, even she did her best to bring my life back, she shed tears while hugging my soulless body and said –
Ashe: I still believe he is alive. Please Leandro. You said you will live for us right? (*sob*) Please Leandro… I… I love you… (*sob*) very much. I am in love with you… Please… live for me… my love.
6:00 A.M.
When I heard her voice and felt her cold tears falling from her eyes after I am brought back to life by her potion, I replied to her in my low tone of my voice –
Leandro: Ashe…
Ashe: Leandro?
Leandro: I love you… more than anything I have in this world.
When she heard my voice, she hugged me very hard like she missed me so much.
Ashe: You're alive! You're alive! (*sob*) I thought I will lose you.
Leona: Thank god you are alive.
Katarina: I thought I will lose you.
Leandro: Please everyone, wipe your tears now. I don't want beautiful ladies cry for me. And Ashe, please let me go. I can't breathe.
Ashe: Ah! Sorry for that. I am overjoyed, that's all.
Leandro: Wait a second… How did I… able to come back to life? My wound is gone! How did that wound vanish in just like a blink of an eye?
Ashe: I need to give you my potion. That's my only choice left.
Leandro: I see. Thank you, Ashe, for saving me… from death.
Ashe: I will do anything to keep you safe. That's my solemn promise to you, remember?
Leandro: I remember that. That was our promise of our union.
Ashe: So, let's go?
Leandro: Yeah. Let's finish the fight.
6:10 A.M.
I stood up, loaded my assault rifle, sniper rifle, and grenade launcher before we go. When we are on the way, I saw Garen, handling Draven like a deer. When he saw us, he asked me –
Garen: Are you okay? I saw your great injuries from this man's weapon.
Leandro: Yes. I'm fine now, and it's all thanks to Ashe. Without her potion, I might not be able to live.
Ashe: I'm trying to do my best to save anyone I can.
Garen: Anyway, changing the topic. Now this killer needs a great lesson, your style.
Leandro: Are you sure for that?
Garen: In our law, we let the victim to punish the ones who attempted or did harm.
Ashe: It's time for Draven to pay for his sins.
Leandro: I see. So this is Draven, huh? That's too bad for a "famous" executioner to be bruised like that. So Draven, where is Darius?
Draven: (*spit*) You better learn manners kid.
Leandro: Manners? You think I will respect you after you kill me? In my world, once war starts, respect is only bestowed on our old and new allies while we gave no respect to the enemy. My world faces many wars that tested the strength of trust in each other.
Draven: Aaaannndd?
Leandro: In this world, I still apply that belief that our enemies are not deserved to gain respect and mercy. And in this world now, my current enemy is you and Darius.
6:15 A.M.
After I said that, I armed my assault rifle and aimed at his head. Draven said –
Draven: What are you going to do?
Leandro: Give you a bullet to the head, what else?
Draven: What? You have no rights kid.
Leandro: If I have no right to stop you, who else? If you seek peace, then surrender at once in the name of the league. If you choose the violence of war, I will give you the horrors of war! Choose your fate, Mr. Glorious Executioner. Live in peace or you will rest in pieces.
Draven: Please! I surrender!
Leandro: Are you sure?
Draven: Not sure.
6:17 A.M.
Draven tried to use a dagger to throw it, but I swiftly deflected it by my shot. He said –
Draven: Uh oh.
Leandro: The thing I don't like among the enemies I face is that they are trying on messing me up. If you have decided the war, you may go now in hell with those bad souls whom you killed before.
Draven: No! Please!
Leandro: Farewell. Your soul may now rest in peace.
Draven: No! (*shot*)
Leandro: Rest in peace.
Garen: You sure you don't need his intel?
Leandro: He will lie anyway because he is overly devoted to Darius. More importantly, we saved Cassiopeia from grave danger. All we need now is to move forward to crush Darius and his allies, and destroy the base altogether as a team.
Garen: So what are we waiting for? Let's go.
Cassiopeia: Wait!
Katarina: Sister?! What is it?
Cassiopeia: Be careful. Darius has 5 allies that you need to be aware of. They are more dangerous than you think. Be on alert when you meet them.
Leandro: Who are they?
Cassiopeia: The first one is the one named as Swain.
Leandro: Swain? Not that fucking transforming type of human.
Garen: What's wrong?
Leandro: He's the brain of the Noxian Army which is why Swain is known as the tactician.
Garen: Uh oh. That's some sort of bad news.
Leandro: Who's the next one?
Cassiopeia: The second one is named Sivir, the Battle Mistress.
Leandro: That's one tough opponent too. We must persuade her in our side as possible.
Garen: Why?
Leandro: Sivir's weapon is actually a key to an entrance in Shurima. And the most interesting about her is that she is the descendant of Azir, the Lost Emperor of the Kingdom of Shurima. She might revive Azir from the dead and restore Shurima once and for all.
Garen: Shurima, you say? That's one big trouble.
Leandro: That's why we need her to be on her side.
Garen: If that's your choice, I'll stick to your plan.
Leandro: Thanks, my friend.
Katarina: Who else, sister?
Cassiopeia: The next one is named Ziggs, the Bombardier.
Leandro: A bomber type of champion. It will be tough. And the last champion is?
Cassiopeia: Tryndamere. That one is different. His eyes are glowing red and something flowing on his arms when in rage. He is in some sort of being possessed, I think?
Leandro: Uh-oh. This will be a slaughter. No wait. Maybe massacre.
Ashe: What's the matter? That's my ally, remember? You said he is the king and I'm the queen. We might persuade him.
Leandro: No. He is not the usual Tryndamere you have met before.
Ashe: Huh? What do you mean by that?
Leandro: The Tryndamere which Cassiopeia said is different from the usual Tryndamere. The ordinary Tryndamere I know is that he has the control of his body and mind. Unlike the one Cassiopeia saw, that one is possessed indeed, out of control on mind and body. That Tryndamere is called as Demonblade Tryndamere.
Ashe: I guess that is indeed a bad news.
Garen: Wait. Isn't that a good choice to choose him as an ally?
Leandro: With that Tryndamere on the loose on the enemy side, we are not sure who is he sided to. That will be a major problem or solution. He might kill all of us. It is either this group, his own allies or either the both of us will be killed by this man's outrage.
Garen: I see.
Cassiopeia: And the last one is Rengar.
Leandro: That kitty cat? Even he can use the jungle as his personal play ground; he will meet his match in here.
Garen: You're right. If we are together, we will finish this battle.
Leandro: So Katarina, do you want to take care of her for now and take her to our base?
Katarina: I would like to but do you really want me to do it?
Leandro: You may. In times like these, you must take care of your families while you can because you don't know when you will meet them again.
Katarina: I see. So I will –
Cassiopeia: I'll go… by myself.
Katarina: Are you sure sister?
Cassiopeia: I'm your sister. Noxians are stronger, just to let you know. We are strong. Go with him. He needs your strength.
Katarina: I understand. Here, take this potion. You will need it.
Cassiopeia: How about you?
Katarina: I will just need some killing to heal, that's all.
Katarina shows her Bloodthirster to Cassiopeia. When she saw that, Cassiopeia says –
Cassiopeia: Ah… The Bloodthirster, I see. Take care of her, young man.
Leandro: I will. Take my potion too please.
Cassiopeia: Thank you.
Katarina: Just be careful, sister.
Leandro: Cassiopeia, once you are in our base, take this note to give you the permission to enter the base. It is already in there so you won't have to worry.
Cassiopeia: Thank you.
Yasuo: Well then, I will take her to the base then.
Yasuo appears from the tall grasses of the forest. I said –
Leandro: Thank you Yasuo. You are a great help.
Yasuo: Don't worry. It is just the wind told me to assist you.
6:22 A.M.
Yasuo and Cassiopeia were both teleported back to our base.
Leandro: Let's go!
As we headed to the enemy base, I asked Garen.
Leandro: Garen, how's the situation on the central flank?
Garen: There are no casualties on our side, while many casualties on the enemy's side. We captured many enemies which is a very hard task.
Leandro: Wait. Are you referring to creeps or champions?
Garen: Champions, man. We captured Evelynn, Udyr, Volibear, and Lissandra.
Ashe: Lissandra?
Leandro: Your enemy for the control of the nation of whole territory of Freljord. She is known as the Ice Witch of the Frostguards.
Ashe: I remember that one. So this person who tries to pursue peace is trying to betray me.
Leandro: Yeah. It is unforgivable, correct?
Ashe: Yes. So she is captured huh?
Garen: Yes. And now she tried to get out of the prison, but she is sealed in an anti magic type prison cage, all thanks to Veigar.
Leandro: Veigar? Nice choice. That's one is strong, despite his appearance. He could still pack a punch, you know. Good thing that he is on our side.
Ashe: I see.
Garen: I'll see you on the central flank.
Leandro: I understand. Good luck.
Garen: I'll be going.
Ashe: Good luck.
Leandro: Okay, enough the chatter. Let's go!
6:27 A.M.
We made a run for the assault. And when I saw the second tower, I saw a male figure beside the tower, protecting it. When the figure saw us, he said –
Male enemy: Hold your line or forever you will regret opposing me.
Leandro: That voice… you are probably Swain.
Swain: How did you know me?
Leandro: Easy answer for your easy question.
Swain: And that is?
Leandro: I am from another world. My name is Leandro, from the Estrella clan. I'm here to ask you for your immediate surrender if you wish to have no bloodshed. If not, I will fight you with all of my strength that you might regret opposing me in the fight. Are you going to choose to surrender or die?
Swain: I must apologize, Sir Leandro. I am ordered to not surrender.
Leandro: By Darius, is that it? If that's the case, I might offer you something after the fight.
Swain: What is it?
Leandro: I would like to be an instrument of peace between two kingdoms once the war between Noxus and Demacia stops.
Swain: If you wish. If you really wish to be the guardian of peace, you need to be strong enough to hold the two armies at bay.
Leandro: So this is like a test too more than a battle, correct?
Swain: Sharp mind, young lad. If you like to have the strength beyond Darius', perhaps I could battle you.
Leandro: An honor to accept your battle.
Swain: Are you prepared?
Leandro: More than prepared. I am already battle ready. The question for you, are you prepared?
Swain: Yes.
Leandro: Let's fight!
6:30 A.M.
Now my battle against the finest of Noxian Army starts. It is either victory or defeat for me.
END OF SECOND CHAPTER
