-Chapter 7-
Kyle stared at the huge hole that made a new entrance to the tavern.
"Why me?"
Everyone looked towards the huge hole in the wall created by this large shadow. The collision sent a few guest clear out the way and knocked a few of the lights causing them to flicker. One of the creatures that had attacked Katarina were on the shadow's back and one in it's hand. It tossed the one in it's hand to the other side of the tavern smashing in to the wall. It slid down and did not move. The one on the shadow's back grabbed the shadow's chest area trying to claw it. The shadow grabbed the creature off of his back in to the ground. It then put it's fist together and pulverized the creature creating a small crater. Everyone was silent as the shadow stood tall, flexing it's chest muscles before it spoke.
"You can't milk those." The lights stopped flickering as it shined on none other than Alistar. He had a few claw scratches on his body from the fight he had just been through. But before he had the chance to speak he was tackled to the ground by more of the creatures. With his body no longer blocking the hole they began to pour in charging at people. Twisted Fate flicked a card between his fingers making it turn red. He shot it straight towards the pile on Alistar and the hole. As it collided with the pile, the card shot many of the creatures in multiple directions knocking in to the walls, ceiling, and other creatures. He shouted to everyone.
"Games over! Fight if you can and run if you can't!" Vi and Garen already took off towards the swarm that were coming from the whole. He took right and she took left. As the did Alistar erupted from the amount of creatures on him and roared with all he had. He headbutted his way out of the hole he made taking many of the creatures with him. More came through. Garen brought his sword high above him and dropped it down hard as he could on the first few in front of him killing 3. More came to him as he spin around with his sword out killing of those foolish enough to charge at him and hold the other that didn't at bay. Vi charged her first as she came forward knocking many of them back at the wall. Then she began boxing the one that attacked her. It looked like an overwhelming amount but she held her own.
The creatures that did not fight ran around Garen and Vi from the sides. Garen had also stopped spinning and began to get overpowered by the amount by him. Same with Vi but they were getting to Garen faster since he had only one sword and would get dizzy if he span any longer. Lee and Elise were fast out of their seats as Lee used his safeguard technique in order to get too Garen. Once he did he slammed his hand on the ground letting out a shock wave that stopped sent some of the monsters back. One used the body of a creature that was hit as a stepping stone so not to take as much damage as the ones on the floor. It leaped of the body at Lee and Garen. Lee smiled.
"Saw you coming." He said quietly to himself as he spun his body 180 degrees towards the monster round-housing it back with the rest. "Roundhouse." Garen stood up and began fighting again seeing that he was not alone. Elise webbed some that came at Vi's blind spot and spat out toxins to some that tried to help them get free. They looked at her and slowly approached her on all fours growling. She looked at them and giggled.
"I wonder if my children will enjoy eating you." She surrounded herself with a magic cocoon for half a second and busted. She no longer had the evil smile but instead had large fangs. She went from 2 legs to 8. She was a full grown spider as she jumped at the monster that seemed to be the leader. Before any of the others could help smaller spiders began to leap at the monsters. Biting and webbing as their mother figure did. More of the monsters came and had gotten to the second floor. Shen and Akali had grabbed their weapons and jumped to the second floor. Shen used his speed and katanas to cut down every creature he passed. He sheathed both his swords letting the bodies behind him fall.
Akali through down her smoke screen on the other end of the second floor. She moved through the smoke from enemy to enemy with kicks as she threw he kamas to her next victim. She cleaned out her half before the smoke cleared up shaking the blood of her weapons as she shook her head slowly. "With such weak foes will there ever be balance?" She heard an explosion making her look back down stairs. Miss Fortune and Caitlyn had been firing from the table with Graves. Miss Fortune saw that trying to hit one at a time was not working so she sprayed bullets everywhere killing off many of the creatures and barely missing everyone else. Unfortunately one of her bullets hit the one of the containers that held oils for cooking. It exploded in to other barrels making them explode sending the creatures and everyone by them all over the first floor.
Katarina was almost caught in the explosion fighting creatures but used her shunpo to get behind Garen as she leaned her back against his with her blades to the creatures that got up and charged again. Garen felt her smaller frame on his making him turn around. He saw only her hood and blades knowing who it was. He held his sword tightly as he slashed at a creature that leaped at him and spoke. The creatures stopped and surrounded them reaching with their claws out now and again. Katarina and Garen moved in a slow circle back to back to see they were surrounded. Garen started speaking as they did.
"I was not sure at first if it was you at first. Only one person fights with 2 blades like that but she has red hair. Then I reminded myself that it's not hard to change how you look when you want too is it Katarina?" She was a little shocked at first but pushed it aside. Of course he would know. He was one of the few that fought her many times and smiled and laughed.
"If you think it is me why not turn around and use that sword on me right now? I'm depending on you to have my back. I'm exposed with my back to you right now. Ending this rivalry between us with nothing more than a quick swing would save you and maybe some of your men in the future. You might not get another chance like this again." She felt him slouch against her lowering his shoulders. He was just positioning himself better to spin and cute her in half of course. She felt him tense up again before speaking.
"If someone is depending on me I won't let them down. I especially if that person's back is to me. Finally I am not so underhanded that I need your back turned to me to slay you." She felt that he smiled at that last part.
"I'll hold you too that than. Both parts of that." The creatures crouched lower to the ground. Katarina focused as Garen turned his blade sideways. Katarina closed her eyes and spoke. "I hear you spin pretty well Garen. Maybe you want to spin with me." Garen was very confused by that comment. His plan was to push her to the ground and spin but to do that with her. After repeating it in his head it clicked. The creatures jumped towards both of them. Katarina turned and ran up Garen's back jumping in to the air twisting herself as she went up. Garen spun himself cutting the creatures again killing a good amount of them but cutting so many slowed down his spin since he could not get max speed. As he came to a stop he pulled his sword from the creature's body going down to a knee. Katarina still spinning in midair began to rain down blades over everything below her. The monsters that had leaped and missed Garen because he ducked covered him from the blades but got the monsters skewered.
She killed off the rest as she stopped spinning and focusing allowing herself to fall. She landed on the bodies of creatures gracefully. The mountain of bodies moved as Garen pushed them all off tossing her up a short distance. Garen stumbled back from coming up to quickly and held his arms out to get balance. As he did Katarina came down in his arms leaning him forward. They both looked surprised at the situation but she broke from the shock first. She smiled and put her hand on his cheek.
"Sorry maybe another time big boy." She used shunpo right out his arms over to a creature that had one of her blades in it. She pulled it out, shook it off and stashed it away. She repeated this process til she had all the blades she used. She then walked over to Garen. "Shall we get going before someone gets killed?" SHe walked off before he could reply. Garen stared for a moment and shook his head a little.
"That was...different." He took his sword from underneath the pile of dead bodies and took off back to the fight.
Syndra took another sip of her wine almost finishing it. She twirled the glass in her hand watching the liquid stir. More creatures came through the hole as people ran out the front door. Even Kyle used the spells he learned at the Institute. Twisted Fate looked over at her as he tossed another card.
"Mind helping out over here Miss..!?" She twirled her glass again before responding.
"Syndra and I was wondering if you were going to turn over the card?" He stopped and looked at her like she was insane as she finished he wine. Lux was fending off a large amount that kept coming near the table that got much harder when Twisted Fate stopped. She began to use her wand and hands for magic shooting beams as fast as she could. "I wanted to know who won but it seems that this place will be over run by these things soon." She got out her seat and opened a portal of her magic. She grabbed the money she put up and tossed it in. She then used a wave of her magic pushing all of the creatures in that direction out the wall making anothe large hole without harming the people they were fighting. She did the same in every other direction on the first floor. She floated up through the opening to the second floor and scattered all the creatures the same way she did on the first floor. As she floated down Le Blanc teleported inside the room and whispered to Syndra. Afterward she teleported out just as fast as she came. Syndra looked towards everyone.
"Alright it's time we take our leave Lux and Elise." Lux and Elise walked to the portal and walked in. Before Lux walked in she looked back to Garen and then walked in to the portal. Syndra put her hand in but stopped. " I would suggest that all of you leave. This place is infested with those things. Best of luck to those who make it off this island." She was about to walk in before Garen called out to her.
"We can fight them! With your help we could beat those things back wherever they came from. Stay and help us fend them off." She smiled sadly.
"No we can't. They are immune to my powers somewhat. I can't kill them with my magic yet. I do not know why but I do know that. You are wasting time. Go before you are all dead and I can't afford to loose such valuable pieces yet. Oh and very well played Blind man." Before anyone said anything else she went through the portal and it closed. The few civilians that stayed had dropped their make shift weapons and ran as fast as they could. A low rumbling could be heard in the distance. They all ran out to see what was causing it. Once they got out they saw the creatures burning the city down. That wasn't what had cause the rumbling. In the distance they saw a dark wave coming over the land. A wave of the creatures screeching loudly together making their way to Bilgewater. More specifically the place they all were at. Everyone ran back inside grabbing the pile of leftover money as Twisted Fate stood outside and whistled at what they all just saw. He slowly walked back to the tavern through the hole.
Kyle looked at his tavern. "All that hard work. Just trying to make a place everyone could truly relax without worrying about the kind of thing that is right outside my doors." He slumped in a chair as Miss Fortune grabbed her money as did Caitlyn and Graves. Shen put his hand on Kyle's shoulder and offered his hand. Akali on his other side did the same. He took his hand as Shen spoke.
"No is not the time to cave over this lose. You still have your life. You can rebuild all of this but only if you live." He looked in to Shen's eyes before he looked down. His fist tightened and he smiled.
"Your right but I guess we need to get clear away from here for that to happen huh? Well what are we waiting for those things are coming fast." Everyone had grabbed their money as the tavern began to creek. They all ran out towards the harbor. Everyone besides Fate who poured himself a drink and walked to the gambler's table and took a seat. They were all running down the same street until Miss Fortune pulled Katarina down an alley.
"My ship is this way. You paid me for a job so lets get it over with as soon as possible. You can tell me all about it when we get there." She put a flare in to her gun as they broke away from the group. Next to break off was Caitlyn and Vi. Vi shouted to everyone.
"Sorry but we have a boat to catch! You all better live so we can fight together again or I'll beat you all stupid!" That was the last they heard of them. Shen took Kyle with him to the side. When Akali looked to see where they went he was gone. She swore she will learn Shen's secrets but right now the boat was the only thing she was worried about. The boat had began to start sailing away. Akali called out to Janna.
"We need a nice tornado about now." She got the idea and created a small one in front of them. They all got to the center as the small tornado quickly grew shooting them over to the boat. This time Garen landed on the hard wooden floor but they all landed on him. Thanks to his armor he was okay. They all looked back as the swarm was now in the city.
"Twisted Fate drank from his cup as he looked at the table. He saw that everyone's card hadn't moved from the table with all the fighting. He looked at the only card not turned over. He reached for it just like before. The creatures were about 3 blocks away.
"All bets are closed." He said to no one in particular. He began to turn the card a little faster than he had before. He turned it completely revealing it to his eyes only. He smiled seeing the card. He put his hand on his face as he laughed loudly to himself. They were 2 blocks away. He stood up straightening his hat and walked to the door. A small wind blew the cards a little showing Fate that there was a second card behind the one Lee played. They were about a block now. He walked over to the cards and moved the top card. His eyes became wide. "H-how-when did-?" He could do nothing but laugh once more. The creatures heard this and ran to the tavern.
When they got there they saw an empty ruined tavern but an untouched gambler's table. Whoever was laughing was gone. Many of them continued to run through the city but some went in to the tavern. 2 went over to the gambler's table to see the cards were still there. Everyone's cards were as Fate left it. Closest to the deck was a small joker card. The opposite end of the table there were 2 cards. There was a Jack but behind it was the card that made Fate laugh. It was the bigger Joker. After a few seconds the Tavern collapsed now completely destroyed. Fate looked at the city covered in flame and the dark creatures. Now only 3 people would understand what Syndra was talking about at the Tavern. Syndra herself, Lee Sin the blind monk, and Twisted Fate Himself.
"But this game ain't over yet Miss Syndra. Not by a long shot."
