Hi! Sorry this took awhile, but it took me forever to get the battle scenes just how I wanted. I hope you all enjoy it.
P.S. Yay, updated their character list, so now Draven is on this story. :P Reviews would be very much appreciated.
Lux awoke the next morning to someone knocking on her door. She quickly got up to answer it. An apprentice summoner stood in the doorway, looking rather nervous. "Hello, Miss Lux," he started. "I've been sent to tell you that you and your teammates are to meet your summoners today to talk about the match. So when you get the chance, please come to the 4th meeting room.
"Alright, thanks for letting me know." Lux said, giving him a smile. He nodded and quickly left. She watched him run down the hallway and turn a corner. She knew that apprentice summoners were often very nervous whenever they actually had to talk to champions. Most of the time they had no reason to be scared of most of the champions, although sometimes their nervousness was well placed if they had to discuss something with champions such as Shaco, Mordekaiser, or Dr. Mundo.
Lux quickly got dressed and left to go the meeting. When she got to the meeting room, she noticed that none of her teammates or even any summoners had arrived. "Perhaps they slept in?" She wondered, aloud. She decided to just wait in the room until someone showed up, but after about ten minutes she started getting very suspicious as to why her teammates weren't here. She got up to open the door to go look around, only for it to open as she reached for the handle. The door swung open, nearly hitting her face. In the doorway, stood Draven.
"Again, you almost hit me in the face with something!" Lux exclaimed.
"Where've you been?" he asked, disregarding her little outburst.
"What? What do you mean?" She asked, getting more confused by the minute.
"Our meeting's taking place down the hall; we've been waiting like half an hour for you. Did you get lost or something?"
"What? No, an apprentice summoner told me that this was our meeting room...although, he may have gotten it wrong, I suppose." Lux said looking down, obviously a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, don't worry about it." Draven said, giving her a pat on the back. "Come on, Draven'll escort you the rest of the way." He said this in an extremely playful tone, even offering his hand like a gentleman would do for a lady. Lux smiled and brushed his hand away making her way out the door with him.
The duo quickly made their way to the appropriate waiting room. Cassiopeia and Morgana were talking about nothing in particular when the two entered the room. "About time," Cassiopeia said. "We were afraid we would have to cancel the match because you disappeared."
"Yeah, sorry about that." Lux apologized. She looked around the room before taking her seat. The room was almost exactly identical to the room they were in yesterday. On the table were some pastries and coffee that Morgana had made for them. Lux grabbed one and took a bit out of one, it was cold, but still tasted amazing. After a few more minutes of waiting, their summoners came in. The apprentice summoner that told Lux the wrong room was there, repeatedly mouthing "I'm sorry" to her.
"Good morning champions." One of the summoners finally said. "Today is the day of the match you've all been preparing for this entire week." The summoner went along with his speech about proper protocols in the League, about the trust between a summoner and a champion, and all sorts of things that they had all heard at least a hundred times over. Finally, the summoner ended his speech and introduced the champions to their respective summoners. After the brief introductions, all the summoners, except one, had left to go prepare for the summoning ritual. The champions all looked at the one remaining summoner, expecting him to say or do something.
"So…can we help you with something?" Draven asked.
"Umm, yes actually." The summoner said. "I'm the summoner that will be summoning Renekton in today's match. I needed to know if you all wanted to let me know anything I might need to focus on." Draven, Cassiopeia, and Morgana all turned to Lux to explain their strategies from yesterday.
"Oh, uhh, the only things you really have to make Renekton do are go with Cassiopeia and help us when need be." Lux answered. They really hadn't discussed what they should do with Renekton yesterday, seeing as he wasn't able to tell them what he could and couldn't do.
"Alright, thank you very much. The ritual will be ready in about an hour." The summoner gave a quick bow and left to join the other summoners.
"What're we supposed to do for an hour?" Morgana asked.
"I dunno about you, but I'm going to go take a nap." Cassiopeia said. She then proceeded to slither away to her room.
"I suppose I'll go see what I can do at my shop. I'll see you two later." Morgana then left, leaving Draven and Lux alone.
There was an awkward silence between the two left in the room. Neither of them said anything for about a minute or two. "I'm not really sure what I should talk about with him." Lux thought. "I mean, I shouldn't even be talking to him at all technically…but…he doesn't seem that bad. And if not for him, I would've looked more like an idiot if he hadn't gotten me out of that room. Wait…how'd he know I was in there?"
"Hey Draven," she asked. He looked suddenly at her, brought out of his daydream by one of them actually saying something.
"Yeah?" he said.
"How'd you know I was in that room?"
"Oh that." He said, starting to smile. "Remember that summoner who told you the wrong room?" She nodded. "Well when he got here, he realized that he had given you the wrong room number and was so embarrassed that he didn't want to go get you."
"Did he ask you to come get me?"
"Nope, he didn't ask anyone."
"Then, how'd you know to find me?"
"Simple, he told me."
"But you said…"
"I said he didn't ask anyone, but when the other summoners started to wonder where you had run off to they sent a bunch of them to go look. I volunteered to go and look too. When I got out of the room, he came up and told me where he thought you might be. And, lo and behold, there you were."
"Oh…well, that explains it." She giggled a little. "Thanks for coming to get me. I must've looked like a fool waiting in there by myself."
"Only a little." Lux playfully scowled at this, causing Draven to simply smile.
The pair continued to talk about random things for a while. Lux was still very wary of Draven, after all, he was still a Noxian. He could be trying to uncover secrets about Demacia…or something like that. Eventually, a summoner entered the room and told them that the match was going to happen in 10 minutes and that they should get ready immediately. The duo left with the summoner at once to get ready.
A short walk later, Lux and Draven met up with Morgana and Cassiopeia once again. Now the 4 of them were waiting in a large chamber waiting for their summoners to start the ritual. In the center of the floor was a large circle of magical runes and symbols, it gave a faint glow lighting some of the room.
"I've had enough waiting." Cassiopeia said impatiently. "When are we going to get this match started?"
"Soon I hope." Lux said. "Where's Renekton?"
"He's already being summoned." Morgana answered. "They can't keep him in these chambers like us, so they summon him to the Fields before us so he can't destroy anything. The same principle goes for Nocturne, Brand, and the Void monsters." Everyone nodded in understanding, impressed by her knowledge of how the League worked.
Soon after, the circle of runes started to glow more brightly, signaling that the match was about to begin. Knowing what to do now, the champions took their spots on the circle while the light grew brighter and brighter until it eventually enveloped all of them. When the light faded, there were now five of them standing atop a stone platform with runes carved into it. They all knew where they were now, and the voice they all heard simply did more to confirm this.
"Welcome to Summoner's Rift."
"Do we all remember our strategies?" Lux asked the group. All of them nodded, except Renekton who simply stood growling a little. "Alright then…good luck everyone." With that said they all bought their items and made their ways towards their lanes. She and Draven made their way down to the bottom lane and proceeded to hide in the brush, waiting for the minions to appear. They both waited in silence, watching to see which of the older siblings had come down to face them.
"Minions have spawned."
"Get ready." Draven said. Lux nodded and grasped her baton tightly. In but a few moments they would find out who they would have to fight. The mindless minions eventually made their way down to where Draven and Lux waited and began attacking the other team's minions. Lux prepared to fire off one of her trademark Lucent Singularities when she heard a rustle. Garen and Kayle made their presence known as they exited the brush to go attack the minions. Garen quickly began spinning around, cutting down minions as he sped along. Kayle's sword had erupted into flames, and she proceeded to throw the flames into another hoard of minions that had made their way down. Lux fired off the singularity at her brother, knowing that they'd have to get rid of him first. It traveled towards him at a steady pace before finally stopping in a predetermined spot Lux had picked. With a snap of her fingers it exploded, leaving Garen and Kayle covered in a brilliant light. Lux took a quick glance at Draven, already spinning one of his axes. They both nodded and dashed out of the brush towards their enemies.
Morgana made her way towards the middle lane after buying her items. She never liked going into brush when she had the mid lane, so she simply waited at the turret until the minions had spawned. As she waited, she made numerous arcane symbols in the air to both pass the time and prepare her spells.
"I bet I will have to face Nasus…oh well, I'll still get the chance to kill my sister once or twice at least." Morgana said, a wicked smile growing across her face.
"Minions have spawned."
She looked back to see the little things march their way towards her and past her to the middle of the field. She quickly followed after them preparing a spell along the way. As she had suspected Nasus had quickly appeared from the Fog of War with his minions. His staffed glowed with an unnatural green color as he struck down her minions. With a motion of her arms, the ground beneath them began to brown and rot. The ground itself seemed to liquefy and bubble. The minions that had accompanied Nasus quickly began to drop like flies. Knowing he was outnumbered, Nasus retreated. Morgana smiled as her game of Cat and Mouse had begun.
Cassiopeia slithered her way up the top lane with Renekton. They both went in the brush to wait for the minions. Cassiopeia lifted her hand and a snake formed out of nothing and wrapped itself around her wrist. She looked towards Renekton, who simply stood growling and breathing heavily. Occasionally he'd glance towards her, but not much else.
"Minions have spawned."
Cassiopeia heard some rustling in the brush next to them. She muttered something under her breath and a purple cloud appeared near them. She heard someone begin to cough and, quickly, she and Renekton went towards the sounds. Among the bushes were Darius and Katarina, both coughing violently due to Cassiopeia's poison cloud.
The pair saw her and Renekton approach and got ready to fight. Katarina threw a few knives at Renekton but he simply bounced them off his blade. Darius swung his axe at Cassiopeia, but she dodged it and started throwing snakes at him. They hissed violently in the air before making contact and biting down hard on Darius's exposed skin. He yelled in pain as Cassiopeia threw more at him. He spun around quickly with his axe, throwing off the snakes and hitting Cassiopeia. The hit knocked a lot out of her but she wasn't ready to give up yet. Katarina had retreated leaving Darius to deal with both of the scaly champions by himself. Cassiopeia put up another poison cloud and rushed towards Darius, claws at the ready. Renekton followed suit, screaming in rage along the way. They both hit Darius over and over as he violently coughed from the poison. When they were about to deal the final blow Darius was enveloped in a bright light and all they hit was air. They realized where he had gone and looked up to see him staggering towards his turret. Renekton began to chase him, but was stopped by Cassiopeia. He growled at her, but all she did was smile viscously as she watched Darius cough once more before collapsing.
"Cassiopeia has drawn First Blood!"
The battle continued on for roughly an hour or so. Each side had gained kills and destroyed turrets throughout the entire match, but both sides seemed adamant in winning. Both team seemed almost equal in terms of strength and ability. This match would continue even longer unless one side was completely vanquished first.
"Blue team's turret has been destroyed."
Darius cracked an evil smile as the turret collapsed around him. He and his teammates ran full force towards the enemy team's base. Lux was standing at the Inhibitor turret. She and her teammates were ready for them. The final strategy they had come up with would have to go into play here.
"I just hope we can pull it off…" Lux thought to herself as she looked towards the Fog of War, seeing nothing…yet. A wave of minions passed her and illuminated the Fog of War slightly. As they proceeded to engage the enemy minions, Lux saw the other team start to engage them. Renekton joined her at the turret and the pair went down towards the minions to start their plan.
Katarina was the first to see them approach, and she quickly alerted her team to their presence. Darius and Garen both went towards the pair first, with Katarina, Nasus, and Kayle following close behind. The five soon met the two solo champs and initiated a battle. Garen started his iconic spinning towards the two and Darius held his axe at the read and followed him.
"Just as planned." Lux said, giggling to herself. She released an orb of light that hit both Garen and Darius and it immobilized them for a few seconds. In these few seconds, Renekton charged forward towards them unleashing a blood curdling roar of rage. As he roared, he started to grow in size and his green scales became a grey color. Garen and Darius's immobilization had ended finally and they both tried to run away from Renekton. They almost were able to get away when Morgana appeared from the jungle and cast a spell that slowed them down as they were tethered to her by a line of purple energy. The two eventually started to feel sick and without warning they stopped, stunned, by Morgana's spell. Renekton came up to finish the job on both of them. With a swing of his weapon both soldiers fell.
"Blue team Double Kill."
During all this action, Kayle, Nasus, and Katarina went on the defensive, looking for the other two younger siblings while making their way back to their base. Katarina knew that her sister could immobilize them all with a look at this point. She and her teammates started to run away from Lux, Morgana, and the overgrown Renekton, only to find Draven and Cassiopeia waiting for them. Cassiopeia let out an ear piercing scream as her eyes started to glow brightly.
"Look away!" Katarina yelled, but she was too late. She looked away from the gaze but Kayle and Nasus both turned into stone from Cassiopeia's ferocious spell. Draven started spinning both of his axes and then threw them down the lane. They tore up the earth as they sped along towards Katarina and her now stone teammates. Katarina was able to dodge the axes, but her teammates instantly shattered from the impact.
"Blue team Double Kill."
The axes then suddenly switched direction and sped their way back towards Draven. Katarina had not anticipated this and took the full force of the return attack. By the time the axes returned to Draven, his teammates had caught up to Katarina and proceeded to gang up around her and attack. Katarina took blow after blow, until eventually she disappeared in a puff of smoke. She had teleported away with but a fraction of her original strength. She made her way towards her base, breathing a sigh of relief that she had managed to get away. However, she now felt something hot on her back. She turned to see a beam of red light aimed directly at her, and that was all she saw, because a beam of brilliant light soon followed afterwards, ending her.
"Blue team has scored an Ace."
"GO!" Lux yelled. She and her teammates raced towards the enemy base. She knew they only had about 30 seconds until both her brother and Darius would return to the platform. She and her teammates cut down waves of minions and quickly disposed of the tower outside the inhibitor.
"Purple team's turret has been destroyed."
Killing more minions along the way, the group approached the purple inhibitor and destroyed it as well.
"Purple team's inhibitor has been destroyed."
Another wave of their minions soon approached the enemy base. The group followed them to the two towers that guarded the purple Nexus.
"We're so close, just a little more." Lux said to her teammates. They approached one of the towers and began to attack it. It quickly fell from the combined efforts of the five of them.
"Purple team's turret has been destroyed."
Lux glanced up to see two bright lights and three dim lights on the platform. Her brother and Darius were about to revive and come attack them. She guessed they had around ten seconds until that time. She focused her attention back on the second tower, quickly destroying it as well.
"Purple team's turret has been destroyed."
This was it, the moment of truth. Lux and her teammates started to attack the massive Nexus before them. Purple team minions soon poured out of it, but were soon killed by Morgana's and Lux's spells. They kept attacking it; over and over again they attacked until cracks started to form on it. A familiar sound alerted them that Garen and Darius had both arrived and ran down to confront them.
"Just keep attacking!" Lux yelled. She kept throwing her light beams at the thing, hoping it would fall soon. The familiar sound rang out again, alerting them that Kayle and Nasus had been revived. Another few seconds and Katarina would join them.
Lux saw Garen begin to spin towards them, with Darius following soon behind. Nasus and Kayle joined them as well. Nasus had grown in size similar to what Renekton had done mere minutes ago. Kayle's sword burned with holy fires that she threw at Lux and her teammates.
"Why won't this damn thing fall?" Lux screamed. As she said that, there was a loud crack. The minions from both sides stopped attacking each other and simply stood there. Everyone glanced around in confusion, and then they realized it. The purple Nexus had begun to glow brightly, with energy spilling out of it. The large crystal on top cracked even more before eventually exploding.
"Blue team Victory!"
