A/N I got this out asap since I feel a little bad about the cut off from last chapter. Also damn it stop making me ask all the damn question. I'm willing to answer a lot of things if they relate to the story and heck for something things I might even write a whole chapter to them. So yeah communicate with me about what you guys want, who you want to see, and feel free to ask questions. After this we have at least 4 chapters before the time to choose if the institute exist or not.


Sensing that C is straining himself Nita pulls him out of the memories. Two more statues have broken since he began Dullahan's memories. After giving him some water to help him calm down she advises him to push through the memories as soon as possible. He then gets back up to go back into the statue but not before Nita informs him that he is about to step in one of the largest battles of technology in modern history. The instant he reenters the scene C finds himself looking up at the sky. Dullahan had taken a hit from a nearby shell. As he groggily gets to his feet he takes note of how all the buildings are now ruins and soldiers are all around him either dead or using whatever they can grab to kill each other. As he readjust his helm a trooper rushes at him with a bayonet but is countered with a punch to the kidney before being thrown to the ground to be stabbed by the Dull Blade. The name couldn't be much more ironic as it in a double bladed sword that is comprised of two falchions that are connected by a staff with each piece capable of being used individually. It is but one of the weapons the myths have been granted after Draugr was destroyed and each has been enchanted to channel all of their powers. Respite in a battle is short however and after a nearby building crumbles down a squadron of traitors pours through. Each are killed when Dullahan throws a hand held explosive he scavenged from his victim's body. In the distance a barrage is launched from nearby melters sending a chemical gas throughout the streets belows. Some troops are able to get mask on in time with Dullahan having his infuse to his outfit. He isn't able to even notice this as gunfire consumes the street he is on and he flees into a nearby build cutting down a chemtech trooper who was repairing his arm. After smashing his way through the back exit he is cornered in an alley not by troops ready to shoot but victims of the chemical attack who are melting before his very eyes. One manages to grab his arm begging for a quick release from the pain and gets it in the form of a bullet to the skull. Both of them collapse to the ground where Dullahan begins to open fire on the rest of them. Before he can get the dead troops bodies off of him he hears a familiar whistle noise from ahead. The order has been given for the entire town to be shelled with explosives to kill the traitors no matter the chance of friendly fire. As he reaches his hand onto the layer of troopers who turn into a shell around him. When the shelling ends he breaks out of the cocoon and begins to stumble through the streets. Eventually he collapse at a wall that still is standing despite the house it was apart of being gone. With his vision blurry from shell shock he sees several figures walking towards him. Immediately he starts to open fire hitting each and runs out of ammunitions but is in too much shock to notice he is still pulling the trigger. Eventually he passes out and in his nightmares he see only the faces of those inside his cocoon that hadn't had time to turn into ash. Several hours later a company is dispatched to the nearby area in order to observe the damages and check for survivors. The newly promoted lieutenant is walking through what was a street but now is nothing more than a path of mud which she hoped was rain from the recent storm. As she kneels to observe a corpse she hears a clicking noise from behind a nearby wall. She draws her large runic blade that is the size of her and approaches the sound taking note of the line of dead troops past it. She isn't able to even tell if they wear traitors or not as the rebels hadn't even enough time to make changes to their uniforms. Not that it matters since in the mud they all looked the same and the holes in their bodies telling her the story of how they weren't strong enough to survive. When she turns to the noise she sees that someone did survive the attack. She uses her sword to not only keep her distance but also places it at the soldier's neck which after a small lift shows they have a collar on them. When the Lieutenant gets closer to take a better look she is grabbed by the throat and forced onto her back.

Dullahan- (Shaking her violently) "I'm sorry! I was just supposed to kill only him! (Falls backwards) I didn't mean for this whole battle to happen. It was just supposed to be him. (Starts to cry) I don't even know why I'm fighting. (Curls into a ball) I don't have a choice since they make me. But then again *sniff* what would I even do if I had a choice?"

Lieutenant- (Slowly gets up to approach him) "Tsk damn that hurt. Uhhhh (Starts to pat his back) hey buddy how about you make me a promise?"

Dullahan- (Looks up) "What's that? Do you want me to make you some kind of weapon? Besides why would I do this?"

Lieutenant- "No. It means you are telling me that you will do something. Sort of like an order but more personal. As for the why.I'd say you owe me for trying to choke me out and since I found you."

Dullahan- (Wipes his tears) "Very well. What do you want me to do (sees her sleeve) Lieutenant?"

Lieutenant- (Stops patting him) "Hmm I want you to make sure that you survive this war so you can find out what you want to live for. Oh and since we are on the same side my name is Riven. (Looks him over) Who are you?"

Dullahan- (Gets onto his feet and under the masks smile) "I don't know my real name but I am called Dullahan (Flips onto the wall behind him) and I am know as a Myth!"

Meanwhile on the opposite of the continent Banshee has just managed to sneak past a village. Her mission is to investigate the local temple and see if any forces there are a true threat. As she nears the base of the hill it stands on an arrow finds itself at her feet. She looks up to see a lone man standing there. He is wearing standard Ionian archery equipment with a pendant of an owl over his chest. While he may not look the part Banshee can tell this one is different than the ones she has left broken by her voice or poisoned by her corrupted air. She pulls out two lotus shaped disk that each contain her voice's power. In a voice that is no more than a whisper for her but echos towards her new adversary she lays down her terms.

Banshee- "Tell me something archer are you all that really stands between me and my goal?"

?- "The fact you even came to these unholy grounds tells me that you are no ally of mine. My name is Varus and you are correct in assuming I'm alone here."

Banshee- (Tenses for a dash up the hill) "Good then that means I can return to my den for a meal before the storm even comes here."

Varus- "Wait !Since you clearly don't know what this place is and you avoided my village I will give you a choice. Leave here and live or (Knocks an arrow) I will be forced to cut you down!"

Banshee- "You have mistaken my stealth for mercy Varus. Now prepare for the sound of your death!"

While she charges up the hill Varus launches a Hail of Arrows to impeded her progress. Banshee is able to block the ability by screaming at the air around her making a veil effect. After making it halfway up the hill Banshee then throws her traps with one being shot down. The moment it hits the ground the trap then begins to emit a replica of her voice. Varus is forced to his knees and barely is able to make it to safety before a sonic blast is launched upwards. Now that she is almost to the top Banshee allows a smug smile onto her face before it is immediately taken off by an arrow going into her arm. Now that she is close enough Varus is able to use his Blight arrows. Each is meant to simulate the power of the curse guarded within the temple. He fires two more off before he then unleashes a chain of light that binds Banshee in place. As he readies an arrow with all his strength Banshee tries desperately to stop it by screaming in his direction. Before she is even able to let the sonic wave loose from her throat the arrow moves faster than the sound right into her throat. With a sickening squelch the Blight arrows are triggered causing the body parts they are attached with to explode. As she is sent tumbling down the hill Banshee's collar begins to react to her death. It causes a massive shockwave to emit from her body which would have killed Varus if her body hadn't gone all the way back down the hill. At the epicenter of the explosion a skeleton that was once a girl named Ava speaks of how pleasant it is to be able to speak freely again. As with Draugr her skeleton disappears except by fading away on the wind it was able to poison where it now cleans it. Believing the Ionians deserve a reminder to refrain from killing her projects the scientist sends out a signal to her last two Myths. They now have an order to immediately avenge their sibling. While Cherufe leaves a path of flames in his wake to slaughter all he come across. Dullahan recruits the help of Riven and her Fury Company while also getting to know them all. Seeing them in the distance Varus is forced to make a decision to either defend his home or fulfill his duty. With a heavy heart he leaves for the temple knowing that the whole world could be endangered should it fall into the wrong hands. By the time he reaches it his home has been burned to the ground with his wife already a pile of ashes and his son cut in half at the waist. After the successful raid the Myths are recalled to their base to receive new orders and upgrades. The new upgrades include Cherufe being able to project oils from his mouth and for Dullahan to be able to drain the life from the land itself. Now knowing the poster child of Noxus has arrived the morale of the invaders spikes while draining Ionia of it's own. But she doesn't truly care about that since she met her new friend who tells her of his missions whenever they meet up. Over the next year he tells her of a lizard man whom he fought in the jungle province of Nam, of how he was buried by Yuki-Onna in an avalanche in the mountains, and of how he has begun to develop strange abilities such as being able to jump great heights and distances. Feeling isolated and jealous that his comrade is allowed to have friends Cherufe begins to become reckless. A lone warrior with powers over the wind leaves his master and de facto father behind to help his fellow countrymen since he believes they can't win without him. Cherufe on one of his rampages comes across this warrior and is eager to destroy yet another insect.

Cherufe- (Breaks through the treeline) "Die! (Throws a fireball only for it to be blocked by a wall of winds) Hmph you are only delaying the inevitable."

?- (Takes a swig of sake and keeps some in his cheek) "My name is Yasuo monster and if you want to kill me I hope you brought friends! (Spits it onto his blade)"

Cherufe- (Slams his fist into the ground to spawn lava) "Idiot don't you know wind spreads flame and make you easy to burn!"

Yasuo- "Master please take care of Yone if I don't return."

To keep his opponent from running Cherufe makes his flames spread around him in a circle. With the flames eating away at the air around him Yasuo makes a charge forward. Before he can reach Cherufe the pool of lava begins to spread forward to cut off the samurai. As it is about to make contact with him Yasuo kicks the air beneath him and cuts Cherufe's helmet with his Sweeping Blade technique. With his suit broken they both note how heat begins to escape the cut. Cherufe burrows underground and causes the nearby area to burst upwards. As Yasuo is blasted into the sky Cherufe follows in a plume of fire. Once he is range Yasuo stabs him with a quick thrust forcing Cherufe to fall back. Seeing his prey attempting to flee the fire the Myth chases him down only to be stabbed again. As he begins to realizes even more heat escaping from his body and the small tempest formed around Yasuo's blade his loss is apparent to all. With one broad swing Yasuo launches his Steel Tempest with the ancient ionian phrase hasagi. The fierce blast launches Cherufe into the air to be cut by Yasuo in a barrage of blows that destroys his armor. As he falls Cherufe starts to turn into a more liquid state without his armor. With a breeze breaking his fall Yasuo begins to run towards the next challenge not even realizing the pain he is about to be put through. With the phrase "Sacrificial maiden. Cherufe!" his collar begins to spread a poison through his body until a burned pile of bones remains. Aidan the orphan who became a horrible being begs to Dullahan to survive so his Myth siblings can live on. As his bones break down into the soil the lands that seemed to be burned beyond repair begins to sprout plants. Dullahan is given a task to attack a large gate that is rumored to be where Yasuo is going to guard. After receiving an upgrade that allow him to break down artificial objects and a companion named Ulemko. Ulemko is a horse like creature that is black as night with red eyes, a mane that is like smoke, and no lips with teeth that have all been made sharp as dagger with no gaps. When they reach the gate that blocks one of the main passages to the north it is already night time.

Dullahan- (Pats Ulemko's neck) "Ready to put my name sake to the test my friend? (Holds his blades onto each side of Ulemko's neck)"

Ulemko's- "(Starts to laugh)Chchchchchch. (Begins to run forward and gathers energy around his head)"

Channeling Dullahan's powers into a aura the two hit the gate with so much force that not only is it broken but the entire side of the mountain it is built into falls apart. Carrying the nearby squad Yasuo jumps off of the falling boulders to a spot far enough. As the squad recovers from the explosion a blur of black runs past dragging one of them with it. Upon it coming around the soldier that was grabbed has already had his spine torn out and it is then used to stab his squad mate in the eye while knocking him down. A demonic horse rears it's hooves before stomping his skull killing him instantly. Attempting to stab the rider in the back a soldier runs to stab him before his heart is destroyed by a kick from Ulemko. Seeing his friends falling before him the last troop runs forward only to be picked up head first in Ulemko's maw. With his meal screaming in pain Ulemko let's out it's laugh and with a bite leaves a corpse lacking the front of it's skull in front of Yasuo .As the samurai watches only in horror of the beast before him a different horror invades his mind. The rider tells him that the feeling he has is from his master being killed. In the mountains of the north where Yasuo was raised his master is found by his brother cut in half with a wind slash. As the alarm is raised the killer who is a woman with white hair leaves to head for her next mission at the Palicidium. As the warrior races back home to see if his horrors are real another one makes her stand at the Ionia capital. Dullahan is recalled to base in order to receive special equipment and is told that should he complete this mission he will be free. After receiving a flare to summon reinforcements to assist him he is halted by a familiar man with scars across his face. He walks up to Dullahan and tells him good luck before he hugs him. Along the ride to his objective Dullahan sees his friend and comrade Riven. Seeing her troops lagging behind her and a tired look across her face he gets off to talk with her.

Dullahan- (Waves) "Hey! Riven you don't look alright? You need some help or something?"

Riven- "Oh sorry Dullahan it's just that my troops and me have been on clean up duty for those damn melters. Also I've been getting a sick feeling about this whole war and what we are doing to these people. (Looks at her troops) If my company gets into a real fight I don't think we'll stand much of a chance."

Dullahan- "Cheer up Riven. When I kill that Irelia bitch the war should end and we can go home. But if you are worried about your troops here. (Makes the flare gun materialize into his hand) I don't need it since I can handle myself and heck maybe if I can I'll figure out how to teach you that trick I just did. Oh and if you're worried about owing me you can promise to show me how people live outside of war."

Riven- "Hahahaha thanks old friend I needed this. Don't worry about me anyways if I fall in battle at least it mean someone was stronger than me. (Playfully hits his arm) I'll see you on the other side old friend and thanks for keeping me able to smile through this."

Ulemko gives a small shove that breaks the eye lock the two have and Dullahan hops onto his back before giving a see you later to Riven. One hour later after going through a valley and killing a few scouts Dullahan arrives at a cliff overlooking the capital city of Palicidium. Looking down he sees a lone figure struggling to stand against the forces being sent at her. Before he charges down he hears a familiar whistle and turns behind to see a green flare in the sky along with clouds from a chemical barrage rising. Realizing that it was the flare he was supposed to use he leaps off Ulemko and releases him to the wilds. Dullahan then begins to rush as fast as he can with his jumping powers towards the destruction. When he arrives on the scene amidst the chemicals he finds his friend in the center of a pile of corpses. She is barely being kept alive by her will to live and the failing ki shield around her. Realizing what he needs to do Dullahan tears the mask from his face and places it on her face. Grabbing her badly burned right hand her places it back into her glove before holding it as he burrows into the ground. As he finishes it the cloud is already waning and he takes back the mask. With his cocoon done Dullahan goes into a deep sleep as his torturer for as long as he can remember is confronted. At the hidden base the scientist who created the Myths opens a bottle of fine wine. As she finishes pouring a glass for herself and putting away a few weapon designs she receives a call from someone close to her.

Scientist- (Swirling her wine glass) "Hello,who is this? Can't I celebrate my soon to be augmented army of necro clone dullahans."

?- "*sigh* Gabriella it's me Warwick. I want to let you know that we have done nothing but wrong these children. They weren't even that successful when you think about it."

Gabriella- "Pfft. They served greatly at ruining this place and when they died I made it so they fixed it so conquering would keep its benefit which was genius."

Warwick- "Even so many lives were destroyed. I can't be with you anymore and I would like to tell you that we are getting a divorce."

Gabriella- "I can't let you live knowing what I have done. (Slams the glass down) Besides I would like you to say it to my face you bastard!"

Warwick- "No, I believe that my parting gift in your drawer will say enough. Goodbye, Gabriella."

Gabriella- (Rips her desk drawer open revealing Dullahan's control collar) "Warwick you son of a bitch!"

Warwick- "Golden needle! Dullahan!"

An explosion rips the base apart and causes a landslide to bury it out of sight. Back at the valley Riven wakes up to find that she is still alive by some strange miracle. Seeing the horror around her she shatters her blade and in the ruins of her armor leaves to start a new life. Meanwhile under the earth a creature that had only just started to make choices for itself goes into a deep sleep.


A/N Again I'm sorry that this part was broken into two parts.I really want you all to make choices and hope you all will stay with this story to see them take much of note here,good night all of you and be nice to each other damn it.
