Another day another match.
I sighed as Val and I made our way to the Summoning Platform. Being here was not what I wanted right now, there are better things to be taken care of. Like first off, Gerick got me a personal guard to follow my every move. Guh, how are Valor and I suppose to do anything with that joykill around. I want him gone.
Taking the three steps one at a time, I await the blue glow that signals the beginning of the match. Of this match I know who's on my team, which would be Ahri, Shyvana, Garen, and lastly my support, Sona; and the reason why it's happening. That would be a border dispute. Seems Noxus wants one of the mineral quarries that they lost back.
"As if we'd let them have it." I smirked at Valor as I readied my crossbow. He squatted down on my shoulder in anticipation and squawked in response. The six of us stood in an awkward silence, knowing that if you started a conversation you would probably not be able to finish it, and I glanced at Garen. He has a look of worry on his face, it put me off a bit.
What happened to him, he's usually all for a League match unless- oh , don't tell me... ah, damn, is that why we have Ahri?
My eyes narrowed in concentration as I tried to figure him out. Just as I turned to Ahri for confirmation, the blue wispy light of the Summoner's magic enveloped my vision.
So much for that idea.
I decided as I felt my conscious being pulled into the Rift that I'd ask her as soon as I had a free moment. Opening my eyes I see the brightly lit battlefield.
They made this place quite beautiful for it being a place of gorry warfare.
I shrugged my shoulders and sent Valor into the sky. Turning to the store I 'buy' a short sword, a couple pots, and a warding trinket.
They appear in my inventory, which is more or less a row of stickers. On my crossbow, there are seven empty slots for the stickers purchased from my base's clerk. Once I buy the item it magically appears as a sticker in one of the small slots. This new Sticker System, created by the Master leveled summoners, is much more efficient than the last. The latter didn't include room for trinkets nor where the items bought easy to carry around with you. I think Val is the most happy about this change. I grin at the memory of him being weighed down by the many swords he had to carry to keep up his damage.
I take of to the lowest lane with Sona following quickly behind. We take a side turn into the Jungle to help Shyvana take blue and quickly make our way to the lane. The minion waves from either team are batting away at each other. I claim the gold by last hitting one of the purple minions once they are close to death. Sona slips into the river to ward. Making there way through the Fog of War I see two figures appear, the first Draven and the second Morgana.
Morgana... isn't she suppose to be a midlane champion?
Of course a nasty self-centered place such as Noxus wouldn't have any supporting champions. Although Morgana can infact go bot and is a decent support with her snares, she was rated as a midlane champion.
Like the people of Noxus would care about what they're supposed to do.
With focus and a glare towards the Noxians, I continue to last hit the enemy minions as Sona and Morgana skirmish each other. The thing with Sona's pokes though, they hit multiple targets and never miss. To put is simply, Draven was getting poked as well as Morgana. Although, Sona had taken some light damage from getting caught in Morgana's dark binding once or twice.
As time past the lane became pushed. We had the lane pushed to the enemy tower when Sona's ward went out before it's appointed time. She signalled for me to back up using her Summoner's pinging ability and started playing the Song of Celerity, boosting both our movement speed. Talon appeared out of the Jungle with a disturbingly large grin on his face. I called to Valor for blinding assault on Talon. Val complied readily and dived towards Talon's face tensing his claws... and hit nothing?
What?
I blinked while turning back to run and there he was, creepy-ass smile and all. He pulled his blade towards my throat. I knocked his shoulder back to escape instantaneous death, but still got quite the fatal wound. I could hear his annoyed growl as he threw three sharp circular blades towards me only to yank them back. Sona glanced back to see me stumbling along with Talon behind. Draven and Morgana also making their way to me. Sona gave me a determined smile as she quickly played chord after chord. I still hear feet slapping the ground, but they aren't coming closer. Once we're both under the safety of the tower I smile at what I see. The last bit of the enemy trio's 'Noxus' dance.
"Haha! Looks like you guys practiced that one!" I could hardly shout that, but after seeing Talon glare and point a not so friendly finger into the air, it seemed worth it. I turned to Sona, "Thanks for the save." I smile at her. "How about we Recall now?"
As her only way of communication she nods her head in agreement. As the gentle light blue waves of Summoner's magic starts to take hold Morgana rushes out of the brush and quickly traps me in a Dark Binding and begins to curse the ground my feet touch. Stuck in the puddle of dark mush I hear Sona flinging bits of tunes as fast as she can. I call for Valor again for another Blinding Assault. It hits, along with Sona's many spells. With the puddle now gone, I vault to Morgana, giving her a good kick to the face, and continue shooting at her.
She's low.
I call to Valor, "I need eyes on 'im!" Valor reveals Morgana now retreating through the brush and Draven bending back only to unnaturally throw his body forward again along with two enormous axes. I gasp and shout to Valor, "Valor to me!"
He swoops down from the Heavens and starts to rush to Morgana, our Summoner making Val flash forward at just the right time to avoid Draven's massive attack. Sona rush's behind me and plays the Song of Celerity giving us both more movement speed. She was not so lucky when it came to Draven's assault. Valor dashes to Morgana and blinds her with his talons and attacks her with his massive wings. Draven wasn't in range to do Val any damage so he took aim at Sona who started more songs of healing.
"An Enemy Has Been Slain!"
Now you have to get Draven. You got this buddy.
"An Aly Has Been Slain!"
Wait, what?
Valor seems only slightly surprised at Sona's death as he starts a crazed dash towards Draven. Draven takes notice and aims his axes at Val. Draven throws his axes in a line slowing the large bird down greatly. Valor looks creepily calm as he reaches for Draven's head with his talons stretched wide.
I must have been too focused on Val to notice Draven's and Sona's brawl.
Our summoner placed a shield to absorb the damage around Val as he dashed to Draven. Valor blinded Draven with a swipe to his eyes and smashed his armored wings into the opposing individual. Draven doubled over in pain, coughing up blood as he did so.
Seeing my chance I yelled, "Now Valor!" With that, Valor flew to the sky and a few hundred bolts fell to the ground. Having replaced Val on the field I took aim at Draven. Valor twist back around to mark Draven as vulnerable as I continue unleashing fire on him. Draven falls to the ground filled with bolts and covered in blood laughing while coughing Draaaveenn. I quickly start my way to the friendly tower.
"An Enemy Has Been Slain"
Now under the safety of the tower, Valor landed on my shoulder as we begin to recall again and I flinched from his weight. He looks me over for the cause of the discomfort before seeing the large gash in my right shoulder. Understanding completely he gently flaps his way to the ground to await the Summoner's Recall magic to take effect. The two of us make it to the shop without any interruptions this time.
As I feel my wounds close I send Valor back to the sky and turn to the shop. I buy Bilgewater Cutlass, boots and a health pot. Just as I turn to leave a flash of warm blue light grabs my attention.
Ahri stands in the center of the runic platform, nine tails swishing around her as she does her customary flips and rolls. She she's me staring and states with a suggestive wink, "Like what you see?"
I feel my cheeks heat up slightly at her comment but decided to ignore it to instead ask her why she's participating in a Demacian match.
Her answer comes smoothly of her lips, "You didn't hear about Lux? Poor dear, she had abit of a run in with an assailant." My eyes grow large at her statement while she starts her way back to the middle lane. "Swain's probably getting close to my tower so if you'll excuse me."
As she waves a final goodbye Sona's body reforms on the elevated platform and turns to the store to buy. Still in a bit of dumbfoundment, I wait for her before heading off to the bottom lane.
Garen and I are going to have a talk after this match...
Author's Note.
Yes, I know this is late, but it's here now right? :D? I'm trying to make a cover for this fanfic, but every time I draw Valor he looks like Aniva. If you want to see it it's on my DeviantArt ( dumbkatt. deviantart ). Remove the spaces though, cus FanFic hates on links.
P.S. - Morgana Freeman, holy crap I laughed so hard at your name xD I ment to mention that in the last chapter but, hey, better late then never right? :D
Have nice day!
