Hello and welcome to the second chapter i would like to thank hollardude for giving me the idea so I can continue the story. Anyway remember to read review and to give any idea on what the theme of matches will be cause I've already settled who will be fighting who. I just need to know what challenges you want them to compete in.
The ship slowly approaches the land giving everyone a view to see as far as they can see. The place look majestic and some sort of Island country split into six parts. The northeastern part has Artic mountains with mountains that could reach the top of the sky, southwest was desert with miles of sand and rocky foothills with very few plants, southeast are covered in tropical plants making the tropical rainforest/jungle hard to see except for the lakes intersecting it, and to the northwest was a set of cities connected like in a ring. The ships slowly descended to some island far off the desert region where there are three large towers facing the middle in a triangular cycle. "Look at that" Ezreal said pointing at it; however the ships also picked up the champions not part of a faction and was bunking with the others. "Let me see" said the huntress Nidalee shoving through Luxanna to get a look; "Do you mind!" she said aggesively only getting a growl from the woman as they finished their descent. Approaching the ship as the walkway descends was a tall man wearing an outfit consisting of heavily armored metal and leather from head to toe while wearing a black cape(just think of Shakulu from AC:R). He looked around the ship till he spotted the matriarch and her daughter; "Lady Lestara it's been a while, about decade or two; I can never tell" he said "Amini I see Sair still has you doing his chores" the older woman responded as he just remained silent and continued looking. "That man you know him?" Fiora said though it was more of a statement than a question; "Don't underestimate him he is a master fighter plus saboteur and Lord Sair's right hand man" she replied. Amini steps off the airships to welcome the contestants; "Welcome to the land known as Dranovia, The Tournament of Aces welcomes it famous champions!" Amini announced as everybody disembarked the transport. "Can someone please tell me what's going on" Vi demanded; "few years ago we discovered other worlds and though we were unable to travel to them they still came over to ours" the matron explained. "How come we never heard of this" Jarvan IV said; "Everyone in charge including your father thought it was best to keep it a secret to prevent hostile tensions that weren't already escalated." Lestara said as they continued their trek. The gladiator Pantheon saw his friend/crush Leona walking up and decided to clear a path for her shoving the Shurima faction to the side. "Move aside" he commanded as she just passed by and smiled at her friend; "one day she will see as more than just a friend, so says Pantheon!" he declared only getting a groan from the resurrected emperor himself. The Champions approached the center of the complex which looked a small altar surrounded by water; "so this is how people from other worlds live the big life, heh I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of them" Draven remarked. "The Von Helscreen family rules the entire land like sovereigns; the only way in or out is with the head monarch's consent. I know so much of this place yet never visited thanks the youngest heir and brother of Sair: Volitov Von Helscreen" Lestara clarified; "and how do you know Sair's brother?" Sona communicated. "Because while he stayed in Runeterra we were engaged" her mother replied before pulling out a wedding ring on a thread slowly rubbing it with her fingers.

The champions finally settled down to see the beginning of the speech and were still conversing. "You never told me you had a fiancé" Sona thought; "I was curious to what people from other worlds were like so I looked around the land to meet one of them until I met Vol. He was everything I dreamed of and more, so we fell in love and eventually he proposed to me. Vol disappeared after that and I thought that was the end for me; it wasn't until I heard of you and raised you that brought joy back into my life" she finished while smiling as her daughter did the same. "That must not include humor, relax milady we're in a illustrious tournament this is supposed to be fun" Fiora said as the rest just stared blankly at the duelist. The gong rang and everyone became silent as the armored man approached them. "All rise for lord Sair" Animi announced as appearing on the altar was a middle aged man with white slicked-back hair, dark red eyes, and minimal facial hair, while wearing a fancy robe with a cane that had a cerulean jewel in the middle. "Welcome to the Tournament of Aces now you can all Die!" he said making some scream and others growl till finished his sentence, "-rect your attention to me hahah" he chortled. "Forgot he was sucker for the theatrics" Lestara whispered as Sair continued" Never before have we had this many champions as a group in history such as the league, we have champions from Demacia" he pointed to Garen, "Shurima" pointing to Sivir, "Noxus" pointing at Leblanc, "Ionia" pointing towards Irelia, "even those not from Runeterra" gesturing to Kayle and Morgana. "Ah and a was soon to be family member has finally come" he said after seeing Lestara; "The symbol of this tournament is the emblem of the Lun Xin Yi the fiercest group of warriors to have ever live by never losing a single battle and making weapons and armor out their greatest kill." Sair said revealing the banner of a sword and shield surrounded by fire and lightning. "Their creed: Only the best can rise above the rest" he dictated as he shows the roster of all 123 champions. One of the servants showed weirdly shaped ruby with a golden border; "behold the Krimson Heart, theirs one in each round obtain it for a instant win; the rules are simple every match will be different, no two fights will be the same, your strengths & your summoner's skill will keep you in the tournament, so use it or lose it." "What do we win?" Zed commanded the host; "win and stay in the country, win it all and you shall receive powers and riches beyond your wildest dreams and also lifetime on the house meals from any of our eateries. But no one's here cause of free food you want the clout and splendor of proving your city-states supremacy and becoming the ultimate victor in the entire world" Sair bellowed gaining applause and cheers from the groups. "Of course most of you will lose but who here wants to lose?" he joked making most of them laugh. Now enjoy your accommodations for now there's no place like Dranovia" Sair said as servants came out and led the champions to one tower, while the summoners were led to another tower.
"Your personal suite Master Draven" said the servant as she opened the door revealing a villa in noxian décor. "Now this is what I'm talking about" the executioner said looking around the suite; "ohhoho hey there good looking" he said to large painting of himself. He stepped out into the balcony getting a good view of the country; the balcony right next to him was occupied by none other than the night hunter herself. "Hey looks like we're neighbors" he said with the most dashing smile he could muster while leaning on one arm. All Vayne did was stare at him coldly and went back in closing the door shut; "yeah she totally wants me" Draven admitted. Hemindinger looked around to see his suite as half living quarter's and half laboratory. "This is everything a genius could ask for." He said almost weeping at the sight. "This sucks!" replied the ascended crocodile Renekton as he lied on his bed bored to death; he pushed his head up hitting the bedlight which opened a secret pantry on the other side of the room. "The entire palace menu: Yellow Chicken Stew, Supreme Spiced Fish Balls, Mirab Kebabs" he said as he munched throughout the pantry until he noticed the pies. "Haha victory!". "Their much better" Shyvana said changing to her Ironscale appearance, reminiscing about how she got here and how she will be forever indebted to the prince. "I will win, for father and for Demacia" The hybrid declared. Lestara was led to a private suite in the third tower; "I'm sure you'll enjoy the suite we've provided you with" Amini said stoically. "I will be keeping a close eye on them especially on Sona; me and Volitov know how you like to tip the odds in you and your master's favor" The matriarch exposed. "Now why would I want to cheat the champions" was the last thing he said before closing the door rudely.
The anouncement's came on with music and Sair's voice. "Hello champions welcome to the first challenge of the tournament: hidden around the complex are 122 stone amulets; that's right only enough for everyone except for one. The one who returns to the altar empty handed loses; the tournament begins now!" Sair Declared. "Now?!" Volibear said in his room before Zyra broke in to the suite; "Death is in full bloom" she said unleashing her vines upon the war animal but he dodges as fast as he can only for the plant woman to keep trying to ensnare him. Volibear used his lightning to push her back only for her to discover where the amulet is; the cheiftan noticed it too and that was all she needed to trap him in her vines. Outside the tower scaling the exterior was the Might of Demecia himself noticing the amulet from its intricate markings and opal center. However his rival the Sinister Blade saw it also and it became a race. Sona saw it just a few feet away with Thresh, Warwick, and Sion; they all race to it with the three fighting each other to get a lead. The maven was close when Talon appeared and knocked her down; she used her instrument for an attack but, the assassin simply dodged it and flanked her. Back with the rivals Katarina has taken the lead; "back off it's mine!" she yelled nearly there then Garen got to the side of her and they started shoving each other. "You will not win" Garen stated as he got passed her and was about to grab his prize when the heiress slipped and was hanging for dear life. "Help me" she pleaded; Garen without thinking grabbed her hand and pulled her up. She used this to her advantage and proceeded to take the amulet; "Sorry dear" she said with a smirk as her summoner teleported her out of there. Garen just banged his head wondering why he saved her and on instinct. Gargas stepped out looking around at all the fighting until he saw an amulet lying on the table and headed towards it. On the top level Wukong saw what the Brewster was heading towards and used his amazing agility to jump from level to level. Gargas nearly reached it till Wukong swiped it first while hanging on the ceiling; "Hehehe you should lay off on the heavy liquor" the monkey said gaining an angry shout from his opponent. Zyra was close to gaining the amulet till the warrior bear activated the music player; "EEEEEE! Jezz Ollie" Zyra screeched at her favorite artist till the war animal tackled the living flora sending her halfway through the wall. He retrieved the amulet and raises it high up in the air; "Haharr victory for the Frejord" he shouted. Back in the main area Sona used her etwahl to clear a path and reach for the amulet; Amini watching it fired a small cable from his wrist to retrain Sona from getting it. The elder Buvelle seeing the whole thing grabbed a dagger from the wall and sliced the cable before knocking the lieutenant out. "Hurry Sona you must not lose!" she said as the mute retrieved the amulet and was teleported by her summoner. In the lobby overcoming the dogpile which consisted of Lucien, Varrus, and Gangplank was Jayce; he reached for the amulet only for Skarner to get it first. "Hey stupid scorpion" he said only to receive a smack to the face from its tail. Jayce used his hammer to knock some debris onto the bug making it drop the object. He retrieved it and raised it to the air only for Elise to steal it while crawling on the ceiling. "I hate bugs!" he yelled then saw another one under the chair so he got that as a replacement.
At the altar outside most of the champions have turned in their amulets with Jayce being the laest to return. "Only one amulet remains who will retrieve it?" the Lord dictated. Outside at a clearing in the middle was an amulet and standing on either side of it was two champions. Tryndamere the Barbarian King and Mordekaiser the Master of Metal; "Get on with it already" Sair said from somewhere as the two charged at each other. Try swung his sword only for it to be blocked by the wraith's flail; Mordekaiser repeated the tactic only for the king to swing up high causing the weapon to break in two. Try's weapon was knocked to the side by his opponent and they would just deal blows to each other, Try using his rage as Mordekaiser used his agony for strength; for a moment Tryndamere had the upperhand till the master used his Mace of Spades to knock him out. Back at the altar everyone heard footsteps looking behind them to see the wraith with the amulet; the shadow isles champions cheered as the Frejord ones jeered him. The metal master screamed in pain as the arm that held the amulet was cut off and Tryndamere grabbed it and leaped to the altar. "The loser is Mordekaiser the Master of Metal" Lord Sair announced; "no fair he cheated!" the metal man roared. "I did what I had to do" the king said only getting a facepalm from the queen archer. "Well this is goodbye" Sair said as a portal appeared beneath the loser and absorbed him. "As you can see lose and you are out; that also includes any rule breaking. For the greatest tournament we have zero tolerance for any unrest whatsoever. Now rest up and relax we have two days till the tournament resumes" Sair said as he and his staff left the champions alone.

In the eating hall all the champions were dining and chatting whatever comes to mind. "Good to know they serve the same food here from their eateries here" Teemo said to his fellow yordles at their table. Yasuo was eating his food in silence when his rival approached him; "Do you mind if I join you?" Riven asked the fugitive as he just nodded. She sits down and proceeds to eat her meal; despite being rivals they have a mutual respect for each other. All he knew was that she was the only ionian other than Karma and Ahri that doesn't ignore him, and she enjoys the small talks they have.
In another hall the summoners were dining with their fellow conjurers. "So what do you think we'll be doing for the next two days?" asked the summoner from a group already sitting down; "I know what Kory will probably be doing" said another. "I told you me and Zyra are just partners!" Kory shouted; "Yeah right!". "Oh then what about you and Sivir I bet there's more than just love for money eh Ren" the young summoner snapped back. "Hey I ain't denying nothing" was his reply; "We know Kull has a thing for Miss Fortune am I right" Ren said. "I do but I don't think she'll see me as anything but a powerboost." The tall robed man spoke; "Well I know its only a matter of time before Fiora falls for me and Nidalee goes for my little brother" said a sophisticated and cocky Summoner while the one next to him seemed shy and nervous. "Ummm…Sauron maybe we shouldn't rush it" he said; "nonsense Aaron us stonewalls always get the women of our dreams with our skillset one or another; I mean remember how dad told us of how he got mom" Sauron jestered as his little brother just nodded. "Hey this is our chance to score our champions; this tournament is the perfect chance to do it now who's with me" Ren said putting his hand down; everyone else placed their hands and the pact was made.
It was late at night as Yasuo retired to his quarters for the day he had nothing on but his pants when he heard a knock at the balcony door. He opened it to see the nine-tailed fox herself; "What do you want Ahri?" he asked formally. "Just visiting I get so lonely up there without anyone to keep company" she pouted with her hands behind her back as she slowly entered the swordsman abode. She layed on the bed feeling the softness of the bedding; she tilted her head to see one of her favorite things, "chocolate and strawberry covered wafer sticks my favorite" she exclaimed sticking one of each into her mouth slowly eating them to savor the taste. "I think you should go now" the swordsman said reaching for the fox when she grabbed his arm and pulled him to the bed as she straddled his hips. "Let's have some real fun" she then began kissing him on the lips attempting to seduce him; her tongue found its way to his mouth and begun caressing the inner walls. Ahri was about to let loose her clothes when sense returned to Yasuo and he forcefully separated them and carried her outside to the balcony. "Ahhh you're no fun" she fake whined as Yasuo just closed the door knowing she'll get back to her room the same way she got to his. After bathing he put on his night clothes and went straight to bed.
Vi was sleeping peacefully in her bed having nice dreams when all of a sudden heavy metal music was blasting loudly jolting her awake. "What the-" she looked up to see it playing from the room above her annoying her to no end; she tried to tell whoever was playing the music to turn it off, but it was either too loud or they weren't listening. The enforcer left her room in only a bra and tight shorts, to travel up the stairs to see Jayce and Caitlyn there also. "It's keeping you up too" Jayce said rubbing his eyes while in nothing but a tank top and boxers; she nodded and Cait in her transparent nightgown banged on the door to get the occupants attention. The door opened to reveal someone that shocked them all to their core; standing in the doorway was the criminal herself Jinx wearing a bathrobe with a towel wrapped around her hair. "Hey fat hands, hat lady, and ummm…let's call you hammerhead, yea! That's it." Said the blue haired extremist; "Jinx what are you doing here?" Cait asked surprised to see her here and even more surprised that the hostel is still in one piece. "Duh I'm a champion too and besides why wouldn't I pass up the chance to have fun somewhere else" Jinx replied with sadistic glee. "Sair won't tolerate you messing his country" Cait told the young girl only for her to give a hysterical laugh; "actually he visited me earlier and said as long as I don't mess up the tournament I can do whatever the hell I want, said the men and fuzz could use some exercise Hahahahaha" Jinx said gaining more shocked looks from the Piltover trinity. "Jinx following the rules and taking orders that's a first" Vi question only for Jinx to give a wider grin; "don't worry it's only a one time and besides I want to see what the big prize is I bet it's a really big bomb!" Jinx said with stars in her eyes. "Jinx maybe we should let the good people sleep" she said in a low voice; "Na'uh Fishbones we deserve this after what we did to that frozen chicken dinner" she said mentioning how she got her amulet from Anivia. She turned her head back to her guest standing outside; "you see me and my weapons are having a little bash and I would love to invite you all in but you see were kinda full so too bad see ya!" she said before slamming the door and resuming the music. Vi was about to bust in there and rip her a new one if only her two friends didn't grab her by the waist and dragged her away from her rival's door.
The former celestial being Soraka approached the balcony in her room and looked out to the stars. Despite losing her divinity she was glad to have left the grove and help many people in her journey. However some part of her wishes to regain some of her mysticism and guidance just for one last time if possible. "Enjoying the view?" said the person on the opposite balcony; Soraka turned to see the marksman Malcom Graves leaning on a chair with his feet propped up on the ledge while smoking his Cigar. "Yes why thank you for asking Mr. Graves" she said while bowing; "just graves will do, no need to be formal and all that" the outlaw replied as they continued watching the stars. "Graves is there ever a moment in your life you just sometimes wish you could take back" Soraka asked the man on her left who frowned for some reason; "yeah I do" he replied thinking back to the good ol' days when it was just him and Twisted Fate. Graves finished his cigar and decided to just call it a night; "'night raka" the outlaw said as he walked back to his suite as the healer continued to watch the night sky, "goodnight Graves" she said quietly.
In Lord Sair's mountain fortress the noble man was standing in front of some form of chamber. At the bottom some glowing liquid started pooling in the bottom but not enough to fill the chamber. "One down only 122 more to go." He said
