Chapter X: Carefree
"This picture looks nothing like me!" Jinx comments, her arm slung over my chest as I hold up one of the flyers advertising our event in my right hand. Jinx has her hair down in the ad, wearing her usual combat cloths while holding a zap pistol to my head, smiling from my back with her tongue sticking out. For my part, I'm without clothes from the waist up, long black hair flowing down my shoulders and holding my sword in front of me in a guarded stance, oblivious to the gun at my head and a look of focus on my face. Carefree Couple Event. Didn't even bother to get our opinion, did they? They are summoners. They care only about their own opinions. Screw em. I'll be glad when were outta here. She looks up at me and smiles, her hair falling onto my chest as she moves towards my face to kiss me, her body moving on top of me as her tongue meets mine. The moment lasts for several seconds, warmth and dampness being traded among us before she pulls away. "You bad boy...how many times have we had sex in the last few days...?" she whispers to me, moving back to kiss me further. It takes several more seconds for her to stop, our bodies heating up from the stimulus as I respond, "You keep asking for sex. I merely deliver what you ask for."
"Yeah...you can say no once in a while...you don't always have to give in..." she whispers in response, her cheek rubbing against mine playfully as I raise my brow before asking, "Do you want me to say no once in a while?" Her response is to lick my face and whisper in my ear no before playfully biting the ear. Her face moves away slightly as she whispers, "Hey listen...what if...what if you really did put your child into me...y'know...with how much we've been doing it..." My hand moves to the back of her head, stroking her hair trying to comfort her. "That...isn't possible anymore..."
Jinx surges back out of my reach, staring me in the face with a neutral expression and waiting for an answer. I sigh, moving my left hand to grab the slip of rune paper from under my pillow that Ryze had slipped into my pants pocket, putting the small paper in the center of my hand and focusing my magic into it, an image of Ryze appearing. Jinx moves to lay down next to me, both of us watching the mini Ryze bow before saying, "Yi. There are a few things you must know about purely magical beings, especially the kind that you have become. I did not want to tell Jinx this so keep this between us."
I look over at Jinx with a grin, her smile grim before we turn back to the mini Ryze. "I will be blunt. Becoming a magical being changes your innards beyond what a man or woman possesses. Although you may look like a human, your insides are no longer fully biological in nature." His hands make a gesture, an anatomy chart appearing in the image and his hand pointing to the lungs. "Many of your functions are now done automatically by the mana flowing within you, such as breathing and eating. That you still perform these tasks is more because your mind is accustomed to those habits. You don't actually need to perform the habits so you can choose what you wish to do. My advise, however, is to maintain the habits to blend into society around you."
His hand brushes lower, indicating the crotch. "On the outside, you still have the reproductive organs but they do not function as they should, which is why Jinx was changed in the same way as you. Any bodily fluids you place into another being has a chance of either causing them to explode in magic or be marked in a similar manner." Jinx laughs at his comment before exclaiming sarcastically, "So you could have either impregnated me, blown me up, or made me like you? Don't I feel special!" The mini Ryze's hand moves slightly higher. "Which brings me to some of the harsh truths. One of the side effects of such a process is that you are effectively infertile, unable to produce any children since mana does not replicate in a way that can grows children. I can say this with a 100% certainty as every test I've read about and performed has produced the same result." Jinx now has a look of confusion on her face. "So wait...I can't have kids anymore?"
The mini Ryze interrupts her. "You are probably wondering why other beings that may have mana can reproduce and you can't. The simple answer is that you are now more mana than flesh and I fear that if the process keeps advancing, you will become purely mana based, susceptible to many of the problems mana faces. I have begun research on how to halt and reverse the process but the research is slow and I fear it wont be completed before you leave." Both of us look at the mini Ryze in confusion before he continues. "I apologize for this news if you wished to have some sort of genetic legacy but the harsh fact is that you will never have one now. But do not lose hope. I will do what I can to assist you within the Institute and keep you updated somehow." With a final bow, the mini Ryze disappears, the parchment losing its color as it powers down.
"So...that basically means...we can keep having sex...with no consequences?" Jinx says with an evil grin, her body already remounting mine as she places her hands on my chest. "What about the risk of either of us exploding from too much mana?" I ask her in panic, her body already inserting my erection, her insides warm and inviting. We both let out a moan of pleasure from the sudden stimulus, Jinx smiling down at me as she moves her hips. "Life's no fun...ah...without a little danger...right?" she gasps, already leaning forward to press her body against mine, her arms wrapping around my shoulders and her hips shaking slightly. "C'mon...what's the worst that could happen...?"
"Well, exploding is a problem," I retort, my hands moving to her back as I start to move, Jinx grinning at me as she responds, "Y'know thinking about it...I bet we could bottle your seed...sell it as a Mana Potion...if people are into that..." I sigh and give her a thrust of my hips with a bit more force, her response to bite her lower lip lightly in pleasure. "No...I'm not selling my bodily fluids..." I state, her hands moving from my back to my head, pulling me into aggressive kisses. Long moments stretch out as sensations overwhelm me, the warmth and dampness of her mouth and insides causing me to forget about everything I used to care about for a time.
Eventually she releases me, her mouth moving away with a ribbon of saliva connecting her to mine. "Don't put me on my back...I want to know how it feels upright..." she commands, my body obeying as I move us both upright, her arms wrapped around my neck as my arms wrap around her waist. "I thought you said you'd try to say no..." Jinx whispers into my ear and I whisper back, "You told me not to..." Both of us chuckle before I close my eyes and exhale, feeling the familiar release of my seed entering her body. She exhales lightly, her body tensing slightly before relaxing. We remain there upright until she rub my cheek with hers playfully. "See?...we didn't explode...at least...not magically..." If anything, I feel much better. Me too. Should we tell Ryze? Probably, but not right now. Agreed.
In a blinding flash of light, me and Jinx arrive on Summoners Rift, though a customized variant with only the middle lane available. As the summoners dictated from the gametype, Jinx is riding on my back with her shock pistol to my head as we both do a grand gesture, my sword pointing towards the enemy's rift as Jinx points ahead with a finger. "Are you ready, my love?" I find myself saying, Jinx laughing and responding, "Jeez, no need to be all serious..."
It's all predesignated lines on Summoners Rift. Everything we do is what the summoner's want. From the brief tutorial I was given from Jax, the mode is a wave clearance gametype with 10 waves in total, each one filled with a combination of summoned creatures, duplicate champions, or even epic monsters. We have six towers and an inhibitor standing in the way of our Rift, acting as our lines of defenses. The usual fare. I swing my sword in circles idly as I wait for my summoner to sync with me, going over my abilities which are exactly the same as normal matches. Thankfully, we have higher skilled summoners commanding us for our first test run so the match should go ideally.
All extra thoughts cease when a blue beam of light surges down from the sky, impacting me and taking command of my body which moves into a fighting posture. Jinx is hit with a similar beam of light, her hand going back to seize her minigun to bring it into a ready position. An announcer voice mimicking my voice comes out of the sky, announcing, "They come. Get ready, love."
Two trails of minion waves start to head towards us, my body moving towards them at speed with Jinx moving beside me. The first wave is a simple matter, my sword cutting through minions while Jinx guns down those that remain. It's over in seconds, the minions not even touching the first tower as my announcers voice says, "Defeated, but do not let pride blind you." Jinxes announcer voice responds, "Blah blah blah. Let's just get to the fun part!" There is a brief pause before the next wave, likely for summoners to augment us further with equipment before the next wave. I look down at the sword in my hands, seeing the blue energy of the Blade of the Ruined King activating. They are indeed skilled. This will help in later waves.
Suddenly in the distance, two beams of red light slam down with a bang of impact, cuing the entrance of champions. With the bodies of dead minions disappearing underfoot, shadow copies of Vi and Caitlyn dressed in their police uniforms move towards us past their turret line with weapons at the ready, standing just in range of the turret. "Yi, hate to do this to you but you aid a criminal, you get to go with em to prison!" Vi shouts at us, slamming her fist into her palm of her hextech gauntlets. "I don't think we can let you off the hook for this one," Caitlyn says, taking a knee and aiming her rifle. "Then you give me no choice but to resist arrest. Defend yourselves," I find myself saying as I swing my sword in readiness. "You're going to fight the cops to keep me outta prison!? You are the BEST!" Jinx says from my left, her weapon held at the ready.
My summoner activates my ultimate, though not the move I expect. I raise my sword above my head, the blade now glowing blue with power. To my left, Jinx holsters her weapon and moves in a similar gesture, an ethereal sword similar to mine now in her hands. We both point the swords forward as Vi charges at us, one fist trailing behind her as she unleashes her ultimate. Caitlyn is also unleashing her ultimate, red targeting laser locking onto Jinx as she lines up a shot. My summoner keeps me back to avoid Vi's charge, moving me towards Caitlyn further down the lane and in front of the bullet path of her shot, Caitlyn firing her rifle. The shell impacts me on the chest but I surge forward, body increasing speed as I Alpha Strike. Caitlyn tries to shoot me at point blank range but I already out damage her, taking her down with several rapid swings and close range Alpha Strikes. I have to quickly exit the enemies tower range, nearly being defeated from the increasing blasts of raw magic. Ahead of me, Vi is taken down in a similar fashion, Jinx using her ethereal sword in a more reckless form of Wuju, using rapid cuts and spinning maneuvers with abandon outside of the allied tower's range. Her style of Wuju.
""Wuju' be so kind as to go away now? I'm on a date here!" Jinx's announcer voice exclaims once both champions fall, my announcer voice responding calmly, "Indeed. Let us press on." The stage shifts, both of us walking to the center of the middle lane as the boundaries change to encompass the river. "This is the worst date EVER! How did you talk me into this!?" Jinx's announcer voice comments with annoyance, my announcer voice chuckling and stating, "It was your idea. Are you not enjoying yourself?" There is a slight pause before Jinx's voice responds timidly, "...Okay maybe a little..." The conversation ends as the third wave begins, jungle creatures charging us from both sides of the river. The summoners keep us together, Jinx handling the larger targets at range while I Alpha Strike the smaller ones. Near the end of the wave, all six epic monsters from the jungle appear, Sentinels, Bramblebacks, and Gromps attacking us from their respective sides. The wave falls easily, our summoners moving us both out of melee range to attack the Gromps, preventing their ranged attacks and kiting the remainder until Jinx shoots the last one, finishing the wave.
Our bodies stop in front of the pit of Baron Nashor, Jinx's announcer voice exclaiming, "Y'know, this is much nicer without the big, mean purple monster that always lives here. Wonder where he went?" In response, the ground rumbles as the Rift Herald burst forth, roaring at us both as we aim our weapons at it. "I believe we found its Herald..." my announcer voice says sarcastically. "Well, get rid of it! I don't like bugs!" Jinx retorts as the wave begins. Before we can engage, Jinx activates her ultimate, whistling with her fingers and gesturing for me to approach, my summoner moving me towards her. My hands move to her side, taking three Super Mega Death Rockets from the pouch on her hip as she readies her launcher, her face turning to me quickly as she comments, "Hey! Watch where your grabbing!" In rapid succession, I load the rockets into her launcher as she fires them at the Rift Herald, each one impacting with a smiling explosion before the Rift Herald comes charging at us, our bodies moving to dodge the charge. My speed is already enhanced, giving me ample time to move out of the way and attack the monster's flank with my sword, Jinx opening up with her minigun on the other side.
It takes minimal effort to finish off the Rift Herald, a large portion of its health already shaved off by the rocket attacks. "Ugh! I think I got some of that stuff in my mouth!" Jinx's announcer voice exclaims as the Rift Herald disintegrates, my voice commenting in return. "Why was your mouth open during that engagement?" Jinx immediately blurts in response, "Uh...no reason..." Our bodies are moved to the top lane, map boundaries shifting again to encompass only the enemy's side of the top lane. "Thank goodness we're out of that water! I think I got muck in my boots!" Jinx's announcer voice comments as the next wave begins. This time, the standard minions are replaced with the Black Market Brawler event minions, different combinations of Ironbacks, Ocklepods, Plundercrabs, and Razorfins attacking us in waves and slowly increasing in power as we slay them. Eventually it culminates into two simultaneous waves of maximum enhanced minions but with our weapons now discharging static bolts from equipment, the enemy wave doesn't last long.
"Just another sunny day on the Rift, don't you agree?" Jinx's announcer voice comments, the weather shifting rapidly to rain, thunder, and lightning after her comment as she groans in frustration. "Oh c'mon! Really!?" her voice groans, my sword pointing towards one of the bushes above us as I state, "Someone is watching." In a bush at the top of the lane, Tristana and Teemo appear in their Omega Squad outfits, both of them with weapons holstered. "So you beat standard law enforcement, meaning they had to call us in. Last chance to come in quietly, Yi." Tristana's announcer voice comments, Jinx immediately retorting, "Hey! I'm standing right here! Why don't I get an offer to surrender peacefully!?" I smile and brandish my sword in front of me, my announcer voice saying, "No thanks. You will have to take me in against my will."
The battle begins in earnest, the two enemy champions focusing Jinx with cannonshot and blowdart to prevent her ranged attacks. My summoner moves me to attack Tristana as Jinx back peddles out of range, an Alpha Strike taking me to her as I swing rapidly and discharge electricity. She tries to Rocket Jump away but I deal too much damage, taking her out before she can escape. Teemo uses his mushrooms like springboard, leaping forward to plant them and landing past them. However, my summoner activates an Oracle Sweeping Lens, carefully guiding me around the now visible mushrooms until I can get within Alpha Strike range of a revealed Teemo, a quick surge taking me to him as my sword cuts him down with a few strokes. "Who are these guys supposed to be!? Yordal commandos!? More like Yordal commandonts!" Jinx's announcer voice gloats, my voice groaning in annoyance at her failed joke. "What, not funny?" She asks and my voice responds, "Let us press on..."
We move towards the rift, the towers crumbling as we walk past them until we are inside the Rift chamber, the gates locking behind us as the inhibitors and towers disappear, the Rift crystal glowing brightly red. "Shiny! Too bad we have to smash it!" Jinx's announcer voice shouts, her body rushing forward on cue to pelt the crystal with bullets that deal no damage. "Hey! That's breaking the rules! You aren't supposed to be shielded!" her voice exclaims, the crystal responding by glowing brighter as it spawns minions.
Enhanced minions spawn, melee fighters surging at us as mage minions hurl magical bolts our way, both minion types glowing with purple power. We stand our ground, Jinx laying down fire on the ranged targets while I deal with the close range minions accordingly, weapons singing as the wave is cut down mercilessly but not without slaying me, my spirit leaving my body. Strangely, Jinx aims her shock pistol at me, blasting energy into my body as my spirit is revived, my voice saying on cue, "Thank you. I will endeavor not to die again." The wave ends soon after, Jinx's announcer shouting at the Rift, "Hey, that not nice!" The Rift responds by flashing three times and summoning two champions with red beams of light, Garen and Lux dressed in their standard Demacian armor rising in front of the Rift.
"Yi! This path ends here! You will face justice, by law or by sword!" Garen shouts at me, brandishing his greatsword as Lux raises her staff and spins it above her head, light magic coursing through it as she brings the staff to a ready position at her side. "Maybe we can resolve this peacefully..." my announcer voice tries to say before Jinx interrupts with, "You wanna interrupt MY date!? Time to die!" Garen immediately charged forward, his sword held high and glowing with power as he runs at me. My summoner waits for the right moment, Garen's feet leaving the ground and his sword descending before I Alpha Strike, avoiding his blow completely. However, Garen retorts with a spin, his sword slicing me a few times before I can move out of his reach.
Minigun fire starts focusing on Garen as well and when I reengage, my sword glows blue with power as my sword gains the power to pierce armor. Our combined fire eventually cuts Garen down but my health is dangerously low, my summoner triggering Meditate as Lux's ultimate is unleashed, the laser light nearly bringing me to death if not for the defense buff from Meditate. Jinx retorts by swapping to her missile launcher, firing a shock pistol shot at Lux to slow her down as she quickly annihilates her with missile explosions. "C'mon. Can't we enjoy the scenery without encountering someone trying to bring us in?" Jinx's announcer voice moans. I hear myself chuckle as my announcer voice responds, "I had thought that it was just you they-" Jinx interrupts, blurting, "Ah ah! Not another word..."
The Rift crystal starts to crack, the light shifting to a purple hue as massive tentacles burst from the cracks, Baron Nashor dragging itself from within with a roar of anger. "Oh, so THAT'S where he's been!" Jinx's announcer giggles, my sword moving forward as I retort, "It has taken control of the Rift. We must put an end to this monster." My body sheaths my sword as my arms go to my sides, my eyes closing as energy is channeled into me. The Seal of Energy glows brightly on my back, yellow energy coursing through my arms and back as I feel myself becoming stronger. When I open my eyes while unsheathing my sword, Jinx is in a similar state, her stomach displaying the Quintessence of Mana with stomach and legs now glowing with purple. Our eyes meet, both glowing with magics as we smile at each other, turning back towards the Baren with weapons ready.
It roars at us in challenge as it surges forward, our bodies moving to meet it's charge head on. It was no different than fighting a normal Baron and with our item enhancements and now unlimited mana pools from our Runes, we make short work of the monster as it roars one final time, disintegrating in front of our eyes. The particles, however, are sucked back into the Rift, swirling around the crystal until two shapes start to form, the rapidly shifting blobs floating towards us. Shadow copies of myself and Jinx land on their feet in front of the broken Rift crystal, bodies glowing with unnatural energies and eyes and hair a deep shade of purple attached to obsidian skin. "We thank you for giving birth to us." The Yi clone says in a voice that is myself and Jinx speaking in unison, the Jinx clone speaking in a similar voice. "There can only be one copy of us. And so, you must be removed."
"That look does not look good on me," Jinx's announcer voice says playfully, already readying her weapons. "I agree and raise you that my clones look does not look good on me either," my announcer says in return, my sword raising into a guard. The clones begin their assault, initiating Jinx's ultimate and forcing us to dodge several Super Mega Death Rockets. The Yi clone activates his ultimate once the rockets are fired, sword raising above his head as they both brandish blades of power and charge as us. My summoner waits for Jinx to activate her ultimate before moving me swiftly towards her, my hands moving to load rockets. The clones are charging next to each other, the rockets aimed expertly and easily finding their mark. However, the initial rocket is absorbed by spell shields while the other two impact swiftly as they close the distance.
My ultimate is activated as soon as the rockets are fired, my sword raised above my head as we both gain blades of power. We both surge towards the Jinx copy, swords flashing swiftly as we engage in brutal melee combat. It's over in moments, both of our swords cutting the clone down mercilessly even as she attempts to Meditate, both of us turning on the other clone who Alpha Strikes at Jinx. Her health is low enough for the blow to be fatal, Jinx falling to the ground in theatrical death.
To my surprise, my summoner guides me towards her and Alpha Strikes her body, healing magic moving from me to her as she's revived. "Oh, you're gonna pay for that!" Jinx says in scripted response, her minigun moving to her hands as she lays down fire at the clone Yi. Faced with both ranged and melee fire, the clone Yi falls to the ground defeated. "Wow, that wasn't so bad! I told you I could kick your ass in a straight fight!" Jinx's announcers gloats before the clone bodies start to float, turning back into the Baron's substance and returning to the Rift crystal. One final ball of substance descends towards us, the shape taking form and falling to the ground, revealing a hybrid of myself and Jinx, a minigun in it's hands and a sword on its back, sickeningly wearing Jinx's shorts, my jacket and my helmet in a mocking display of fashion. Purple lenses analyze us as it states, "You have shown me the weakness of two forms. I have rectified that mistake and will now kill you both." Jinx's announcer voice groans in frustration.
"Just stay down, you monster! Is it that hard to just die!?"
