Turns out there's another spin-off of League of Kids by this author named ChunniSenpaii. Make sure to check it out! It features everyone's favorite executioner, Draven!

After their bout at the arcade, the group decided to head back to the League cafeteria to get some lunch. They had a minor argument about it, deciding it would be more convenient to eat there than to take care of 6 kids and keep them behaved in a dining situation. The food was good, but not quite restaurant quality. It would have to do.

The group walked in, waiting in line for their food. The room was naturally split into the 'good' and 'evil', despite there being no designated seating. It was sort of a saddening aspect to the League, but it wasn't expected of someone to talk to another champion.

The gathering of champions and their kids got lunch, sitting down at an empty table somewhat in the middle of the two sides. The younger versions of the champions chatted happily while the older champions ate somewhat slowly and looked around the cafeteria. Rengar, Kha'Zix, and Volibear sat at the table next to them, Kha'Zix and Rengar chuckling as their younger versions clung to Volibear almost as if he was a giant teddy bear. Zed and Kalista could barely contain their laughter while Aatrox gave a small smile of amusement. That was definitely a lot from him.

While they were distracted, a mischievous little Tahm Kench decided it would be funny to pull a prank on them. He silently sneaked over, swiftly devouring Aatrox's younger form before starting to make his escape. Aatrox wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for his kid's cries. He whipped his head around, seeing Tahm Kench's younger form out of the corner of his eye. He jumped up, gliding over a few tables before he gracefully stuck a landing in front of him. The kid stopped his momentum, trying to run the other way as Aatrox quickly picked him up by the collar of his coat.

"Spit him out."

Tahm Kench's younger version knew it was the end of the line at this point. He regrettably spit Aatrox out, who took a few deep breaths before piercing daggers at young Tahm. Tahm Kench gave a sheepish smile before starting to return to his elder self. Aatrox told his younger form to wash off in his room, briefly tossing him the keys. He then went over to Tahm to report what happened and even perhaps catch up on past events.

Meanwhile, Kalista and Zed continued conversing when Hecarim beckoned her over to his table with Yorick, Mordekaiser, and Thresh. She sighed and left, promising to come back after. Zed sat in silence while the kids talked. He wasn't alone for long though.

Soon enough, the seats next to him became occupied. Akali and Kennen sat down across from him, Akali immediately striking a conversation.

"I hope you don't mind if we sit here. You seemed rather lonely."

Zed gave a slight nod. "Aatrox and Kalista are at other side of the room right now. I wouldn't really consider myself lonely, but it is a lot better to have company."

"Indeed," Kennen agreed. "So, has your younger self been a burden or a blessing?"

"I'd say most likely the latter. It's definitely a breath of fresh air from my life in solitude." Zed told them with the slightest tinge of emptiness in his voice. "It's definitely exciting."


While that conversation occurred, Shen sat at his own table. He was just having the average conversation with his friends Kennen and Akali when they saw, guess who, Zed alone at the other table and decided to sit with him. Shen sighed, eating his food rather slowly.

"Wow Shen, you're a slow eater." Young Kennen pointed out.

"I guess." Shen replied, deciding it was better to agree then get the children involved in such a brutal feud such as this one. Soon enough, Shen found his tray empty. He dropped it off and was faced with a choice: ditch his friends and suffer questioning later or sit silently with them and bear it. It'll be quick. Shen told himself, regrettably sitting down at Zed's table. He gave a half-hearted "Good afternoon" to Zed.

"Same to you." Zed replied, surprised that Shen would even sit at the table after what happened. The four all shared a conversation that was unknowingly awkward to Akali and Kennen. Within 5 minutes, both Aatrox and Kalista sent him messages that they'd be occupied with other things for some time and he'd need to take care of the kids until then. He shook his head with a smile on his face. I wondered how long it would take until this was thrust upon me.

After half an hour or so, Kennen and Akali left. The cafeteria was now empty with the exception of Shen and Zed. Shen left but was unknowingly followed by Zed. When Shen reached the door to his room, he was surprised to hear a voice behind him.

"Shen..."

He looked around to see Zed. Why'd he follow me back here? Just as I thought I got away from him!

"What do you want?" Shen told him, obviously irritated.

"I... I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry."

Something flared up inside of Shen. "After all you did, you think you can just come back and apologize? You killed my father!"

"I know, I know, it was the worst decision of my life... That's why I'm asking for forgiveness."

The normal side of Shen told him to accept the apology, and maybe they could be friends again. After all, it took a lot of effort to apologize for such a thing, right? However, that side was completely overshadowed by childhood anger.

"You cannot make amends for what you have done!" Shen yelled, punching him forcefully across the face. Zed flew back into the wall, shaking his head before standing up and walking back to Shen.

"You're right... If I could go back in time and fix it, I would..."

Shen gazed at him with a hostile gaze. Why isn't he fighting back? "My father... He's gone. Because of you!" Shen shouted, uppercutting Zed and making him flip onto his back. He landed with a thump before getting back up, accepting his punishment from Shen.

"Fight me you bitch!" Shen yelled, throwing a series of punches at Zed. He took the brunt of every single one. Excruciating pain flowed through Zed as he stumbled back up, determined to make up for what he had done. He extended his arms to his sides, leaving his whole body vulnerable for Shen to attack. "I'm sorry." he said one last time. Shen chambered his leg and smacked Zed with a side kick straight into the stomach, making him kneel and put his arms around his stomach. Pain permeated from his gut as he muttered, "Please forgive me..." as he blacked out.

Shen looked down at the defeated Zed, smiling from his victory. However, as he looked at Zed's curled form, new feelings set in. Guilt. Remorse. Fear. He quickly ran up to Zed, taking his mask off. His face sported a black eye, several chipped teeth, and some already-developing bruises. Shen gave some deep breaths before picking up his unconscious form and starting to run towards the paramedics, his body filled with a worry he wouldn't have experienced minutes before.
