PumpkinDreamer: So the story goes on and on

Chapter 10:

The narrow path was long. Darkness of the night was making Midorima feeling a little bit uneasy. He's had a bed feeling creeping up on him for some time. He didn't understand why he was having such feelings in the first place.

Ashe, Ahri and Soraka were all ahead of him. Yasuo was walking right next to him. There was no explanation. He just knew that when it comes to these feelings. He they were real.
"Something on your mind?" Yasuo asked.
"not really, just a bad feeling…" Midorima admitted.
"Yasuo, what ever may happen don't kill anybody, please" He requested. Yasuo looked to the side.

"if that's what you want" Yasuo replied. Midorima stepped to the side. When he noticed a ball of light fly passed him. He looked to see that nobody else was moving. Yasuo was unable to move. He looked on ahead to see another woman. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore some kind of armour.

She was carrying staff. He almost noticed there something strange about her eyes.
"Ashe don't attack her" Midorima replied. Ashe looked shocked.
"Nobody attack her" He quickly ordered.

They where all stopped in there tracks. Midorima ran in the opposite direction.
'her eyes are unusual; she might be being controlled by somebody' He thought to himself. He was on the run. He led her away from his group. He went deep into the woods. When the woman tried to attack him.

'Running away from the enemy, well it is a type of tactic.' He thought to himself. He dived behind the tree. His eyes widen in shock as she came around the corner. He ducked his head out of the way of beam of white light that completely destroyed the tree.

'Close call' He thought trying to think or away to escape the predicament. He found himself in when he noticed arrow that hit her. The woman was stunned in mid air.

'This could be my chance' He thought tackling her into the ground. He had his arm wrapped around her. When he found himself in a completely different place.
'Where am I?' He thought to himself. He looked around his surroundings.

He saw the woman on the ground out cold. She was being held down by ropes. He ran over to her.
"hey, wake up" He shouted. The woman's blue orb slowly opened up.
"who are you?" She asked.
"I'm Midorima, Shintarou" He explained.
"You could call me, Lux wait what are you doing in my mind?" She asked.

"So that's where I am, I am somehow in your mind" Midorima muttered to himself.
"Ah! That right, I was helping Ezreal and Piltover to find out information about Viktor's location" Lux explained.
"Piltover? Wait Ezreal? that name is familiar, Ekko was fighting with him the day, Jinx brought me over there" Midorima explained.
Lux gasped.
"That's right! I was sent to find information about you, there wondering if your okay" Lux explained.
"well, I'm alive but you've got to take control of your body again, don't let this mind control take over you" Midorima told her.
"You will be killed by the friends, I've made" Midorima explained.

"I don't know how, I am so weak, Viktor had captured me and injected me with some kind of liquid, I don't even have the strength to stand" Lux admitted. Midorima knelt down.
"Then this is probably why, I am inside your mind" Midorima explained. He took hold of hand.

"I'm not quiet sure, how to help you, but I will try" Midorima closed his eyes. He felt warmth spread out through his entire body. He tightly held on to her hand.

Then found himself back to his body in an instant. Midorima felt out of it as his vision was blurred. He wasn't sure what just happened. He felt that he was back into reality. He sat up looking over to Lux who was passed out next to him.

"Shintarou" Ahri called out to him.
"I'm alright, don't attack her, she was under mind control" Midorima explained. Soraka examined Lux.

"She's seems alright, now, what happened?" Soraka questioned.
"I don't know; I think it was my doing." Midorima admitted. Soraka smirked.
"your just full of surprises" She said impressed.

"Are you alright?" Ashe asked.
"I'm fine" Midorima explained. Lux gasped out as she coughed out some kind of liquid.
"Midorima, I just remembered something, Viktor he's going after Ekko, Ezreal, Jayce, Vi and Caitlyn he's going try to control them with the liquid he injected in me" She explained.
"It will control theirs mind just as you said" Lux explained.

Midorima pushed his glasses up.
"Do you know if there far from us?" Midorima questioned.
"They are close, I know Viktor was sending me out to keep a close eye on your movements and Ekko's since he escaped Gangplank" Lux explained.
"His fallowers are still probably around us…" Midorima muttered to himself. He stood up send out orders before pausing. He glanced at Lux examining her careful.
'wait, Viktor told me, that I was useful to him, he didn't care about, Ekko or the other piltovers' He thought to himself.
'He had captured, Lux and put her on mind control so why send her out now when he could have had sent her out awhile ago to capture me?' He questioned himself.

'Unless he had other plans, maybe since there so close to finding me, he was planning to use Lux to lure us into trap' Midorima thought.
'for all we know, Ekko and the others could be under his control with out knowing it, he could of used Lux to put them all under control his mind control before he sent her out attack me' Midorima eyed Lux. Who was still coughing out the liquid substance.

'The stuff he's used to control her mind is still leaving her body so its safe to assume that she is still some what being controlled by him' Midorima went in thought.
"Thank you, Lux, you may rest now" Midorima told her.

'I know Ekko's in danger because of me, I need to go to him immediately, I don't know what, I hope to accomplish, I want to see him, its already been to long' Midorima thought.
'I won't let Viktor use him as a guinea pig for his plans' He grabbed branch knocking Lux out.

"Shintarou?" Ashe questioned.
"uh, I feel kind of bad..." Midorima admitted.
"Yasuo, I need you take care of all the Viktor's fallowers, there all around us watching in silence, I'm confident you will be able to find them all and take care of them" Midorima explained.

Yasuo nodded his head. He disappeared like the wind.
"I won't lie; I'm literally walking into a trap here" Midorima admitted.
"What...?" Ashe questioned.
"I can't let him get away with using Ekko as one of his guinea pigs, its because he's a genius like Ekko that a plan like this is full proof, as soon as Lux wakes up she will be leading me to were Ekko and the others are in hopes of saving them" Midorima explained.
"I need you two, to let me go by myself…" He told them.

"Are you crazy? If it's a trap you shouldn't walk in on it alone" Ashe argued.
"no, that's exactly what, I have to do, if you three are caught up in this trap there will be no escape and we will be walking straight into his trap, we will be giving him exactly what he wants" Midorima told them.
"He's a genius scientist and has probably thought of many different scenarios to capture me, If I go alone while you three and Yasuo aren't around me, it gives us all options and different opportunities for a counter attack" Midorima explained to them.
"makes sense" Ahri agreed.
"While you are all away from me, the other will most likely try and look for you, this is kind of gamble but its one of the only options we have" Midorima told them.

"Alright, quickly we have to leave" Ashe said going in the opposite direction. Ahri went another way along with Soraka. Midorima was alone as he waited for Lux to wake up.

When Lux awoke an hour later. She was showing Midorima to where Ekko would be.
'of course, I can't rule out the possibility, that there not yet under his mind control and the second that Ekko see's me, that he could have archers waiting and shoot them with the arrows that have been doused in that weird liquid' Midorima thought to himself.

"There this way" Lux explained. Midorima walked to a small clearing were there tents. He was shocked to see Jayce walked out.
"Jayce! I found him" Lux told him. Jayce looked shocked. Midorima frowned.
'So he didn't put them under his control yet meaning, they are all still in danger' He thought to himself.

"Lux where have you been? We were looking everywhere for you" Ezreal said walking over to her. Midorima for some reason felt a stirring in his heart.
"Tch, you've better have something good after traveling all this way" A familiar voice spoke. Midorima eyes widen.
'After so long...' He thought to himself. Ekko's eyes landed on him.
"Shintarou?" Ekko questioned. Midorima felt his heart swell in happiness staring at those brown orbs of Ekko.
'You really did search for me, desperately' Midorima glanced at the bush. He quickly got out of his trance.
"Get back!" He shouted running over to Ekko. He was quick to get in the way of the arrow. That was aimed directly at Ekko. He pushed him Ekko right back into the tent. He turned around and kicked Jayce hard back into the tent that he was staying in.

"What!? Shintarou what the hell!?" He shouted getting out of the tent. When he noticed the arrow that hit him. Midorima fell into Ekko's arm.
"T-trap..." He whispered in his ears. Ekko grew alarmed as arrows came out from the bushed. Ekko was about to rush in but Midorima pushed him back in the tent with his arms wrapped around him.

"d-don't, Ekko please, if you get hit, you will be under his control" He guarding him.
"I don't care about that! I finally found you!" Ekko shouted.
"I know; you were searching desperately for me weren't you? I was also looking all over for you" Midorima admitted. He got hit by another arrow. He didn't dare let himself loose consciousness. He touched his cheek.
"I've never stopped thinking about you, I wanted to see you again so badly..." He admitted.
"Shintarou, let me go." Ekko glared. Midorima shook his head.

"I won't let you, I won't let you be his guinea pig, not after everything we've been through, I refuse to let him win and let him have you" Midorima was hit by another arrow. He winced again.
"Stop! If you take anymore hits for me, I won't be able to take it, I don't want you to become another face on the wall, I want to be able to protect you" Ekko shouted desperately.

"you've always been protecting people and getting hurt because of it, I know because I see it in your eyes, how lonely you are and how much pain you've been in so that's why for once, I want to be the one to protect you…" Midorima leaned down.
"I never wanted it to be true, I constantly denied it since being away from you and now that, I was finally able to see you, I can't deny it any longer, I care for you Ekko, way more then I should have.." Midorima confessed.
Ekko looked at him shock.
"you what?" He stared. Midorima leaned down planting his soft lips on Ekko's. Who froze in place as Midorima kissed him.
"I love you, Ekko" He told him. He put a barrier around Ekko.

"Sh-Shintarou, hold on a second…" Ekko tried to say only to have a finger place on his lips.
"I will protect you from myself and Viktor's mind control, I'm just happy to have been able to see you again before, it completely takes over…" Midorima smiled. Ekko was surrounded by barrier coming from Midorima. He got off of Ekko.

"I'm sorry, I've kind of stunned you" He told Ekko turning away from him.
"You what!? Shintarou! Where are you going come back here! Don't just tell me all that stuff and kiss me and run off hey!" Ekko shouted.
"SHINTAROU!" He yelled out his name.

Midorima faltered a little but forced himself to run out of the tent. He winced in pain at all the arrows. That hit him. He forced himself to run as far as he can. He panted with his face burning scarlet red. He pulled the arrows out of him feeling dizzy. He was starting to get a little disoriented. The liquid that was running his body was taking affect. He walked further away trying to keep himself from falling unconscious. He was brought to his knee's feeling as if he was on some sort of drug. He crawled towards the edge of the cliff. He rolled off the cliff falling towards the raging river below.
