A/N More stand skins! To be honest I'm hoping to get this parody done by the end of July to try to match it up with the story. Also this part and part 5 are the ones that I'd like to do the most because of the sheer quantity of skins. DrawingDisaster gave me the cover image so go check out their stories. Before I started writing this I actually played some League games with the champions involved to pump myself up. If you can I'd like you peeps to guess which champions will show up and the hint is people tend to not play or write about these champions. Also please vote in the poll I put in my profile and I don't care if it's tied between a few of the girls because I'll figure something out. Plus I won't fuck the popular vote over because this is a democracy not a republic. Wait what was I saying? Anyways time to get crazy, noisy, and bizarre. (Pulls out a gun) Gerb bye! Wait! I forgot we are also might have some part 8 snippets as somewhat jokes and a sort of genderbend because I need a certain champion for other stuff. Seriously vote in that fucking poll I need to see your opinions and it's in my profile by the way so head there and please vote.
While slithering to her room Cassiopeia notices C wearing a white version of his Jojo skin. When the gorgon ask if their is a story behind the chroma he tells her yes and even invites her to listen to the full story. The Hooded even announces to anybody nearby if they wanted to join in to meet him in his room which includes Sona who needs a break from piano and Riven joining but the latter only doing so if they do part five soon.
It is the year 1999 and on a road leading to a seaside town in Japan's M prefecture a lone taxi cab is dropping someone off. The passenger's name is Caleb and in the ten years since his own adventure, despite hitting a rough patch in his life, has decided to see if some spirit photos from back then have come true. While Mr. Caleb was busy wandering my hometown looking for someone he actually bumped into me. I was just a blue haired runt of a high school freshman and was so nervous I wasn't paying much attention either. Oh by the way my name is Sonata but I'm not very important. While I was falling from our crash it felt like something grabbed me and before I knew it I was perfectly fine.
Caleb- (Staring into a notebook) "That chinese man lied when he said this town was called Duwang. (Bumps into Sonata) Who the fuck threw a pebble at me? (Levia catches the boy)
Sonata- "What just happened?"
Caleb- (Puts away his book) "Hey kid is your name Taric?"
Sonata- "No I don't think so. Also I could have sworn all of my things were flying out?" (Scratches his head)
Caleb- 'Damn it! How am I supposed to find one person out of a town of almost sixty thousand?!'
Even while he was smelling of alcohol and looking like a mess with his crude beard I could tell this guy had a strong will. The thing is I couldn't admire the weird coolness about this foreign man since I was suddenly talked to by a group of senior students who I naturally showed respect. But when I am asked the bus schedule by Caleb those same seniors start to yell at another freshmen at a fountain near us. Compared to him I looked like such a lame ass. While I am wearing a regular uniform his is purple with golden symbols on it and his pompadour showed great care but then again this is my first time seeing a yankii. Though apparently the seniors dislike the changes he did to his uniform and that he ignored them in favor of trying to pet a turtle. Plus he didn't seem mean at all considering despite being slapped in the face and having his new turtle friend thrown hard enough crack it's shell, the lone teen was still going comply in handing over his clothes along with his money before a universal rule was broken that I didn't know even existed.
Caleb- 'I suppose the photo was wrong or something. No way he can be the person I'm looking for. (Turns to get a cab) What's worse is he didn't even get mad about the turtle.'
Taric- "What the hell did you just say about my hair?!" (A purple aura appears)
Caleb- "Ohhh this might get interesting."
From Taric's body a muscular, silver armored arm emerges and proceeds to hit the nearest senior so hard his teeth are knocked out of his mouth, his nose being broken, and his body is sent crashing into his friends. The young fated then proceeds to put his foot on the back of the punched boy's head while his beloved hair has gained a crown of spikes.
Taric- "You can talk all the shit you want about my friends, me, or even my sweet mama but the second you even think about saying something about my hair your ass is grass! (Picks up the turtle) By the way you got a turtle's sloppy seconds."
By that my future friend meant that he had healed the turtle and in his rage while doing the same to the bully had his nose reconstructed to look like a pig nose. With his confidence restored Caleb walked up to Taric and told him of his destiny.
Caleb- "You're the one I've been looking for over a decade. It's about time we actually met each other Taric."
Taric- "Oh my god. Dad?"
Caleb- "What?! I'm not your dad! How old do you think I am? *sigh* You know what never mind because I have to talk with you about more important things. My name is Caleb and I have magical photos that say you are the next in a line of people called Fated. Which is partly why you have a ghost that does what you tell it to. You see I actually was the Fated before you and my adventure was to stop a vampire named Abel from taking over the world while also saving my sister."
Sonata- "Wait what?"
While the two Fated were walking and talking I was following them partly because I was interested in the story Mr. Caleb was telling and partly because I didn't have any friends so I figured since Taric and I were in the same class we could chat on the way to school. Speaking of school some girls actually came over to ask Taric if they would walk with them before Caleb promptly told them to leave.
Caleb- "Hey you girls should get out of here. I was just telling Taric something important so maybe later you can talking about pointless things like his hair."
Taric- (Gains an aura again) "What did you say about my hair?!"
Caleb- "Taric I'm sorry if I offended you. So could you please calm down?"
Taric- "I'm sorry considering you seem like a cool guy but I can't help wanting to beat the crap out of anyone who talks bad about my hair."
?- "Screw this shit."
Before the arm from Taric can harm Caleb a white, fingerless gloved fist punches the teen in the lips which forces the youth to take a knee. It's the fist of Levia Act 4 who like her user has gained a lighter color scheme compared to her younger self which comes with white leather in place of black, her platinum is polished and a lighter blue and purple skin tone.
Levia- "Been a few years since I've been brought out."
Caleb- (Has her revert to Act 3) "You see this badass motherfucker behind me? You do not fuck with her and by extension me. This demon chick took out a fucking one hundred year old vampire who had a demonic ghost that could stop time with a single punch. TO. THE. KNEE."
Taric- (Gets up) "I don't give a shit. (Spits some blood) That Abel guy was probably a pussy anyways." (Brings out his stand completely)
Caleb and Levia- 'Crap! How'd he know?!'
The youth's stand is called The Shield of Valoran and it's form reflects that of a knight mixed with a gladiator. The majority of it's body is covered in plates of silver armor except for the joints which show bubblegum pink skin and with the shadows on it's body appearing a dark blue. Piercing pink eyes appear from behind it's corinthian helmet and said helmet is connected to the stand's torso via tubes on the back of the helmet. A flashy nature is evident in the stand as it has a shimmering light blue cape, heart designs on the chin,belt, small spike on the soldiers and the fact it's fist seem to be glowing like a rainbow prism. Caleb's eye is also drawn to the mace hanging on the opposing stand's belt which has a diamond serving as a base, a spiral shaft made of silver, and the head being a pair of thorn wrapped, intersected hearts with a golden glow in the center. While the veteran expects an attack from the blunt object he is quickly barraged by a flurry of punches but still assumes a defensive position in order to not hurt the younger Fated. The alternate hooded is shocked even more so when The Leviathan Act 3's defense is broken through and leaves him open from the chin down.
Caleb- "Shit! (Taric punches again) Act 4! Avichi!"
Taric- "Huh?! Where did you (Sees Caleb behind him) wait how did you?" (Gets punched to the ground)
Caleb- "I'll give you credit on forcing me to bring out Act 4. I mean (His hat starts to distort) it isn't as good as it used to be but it's good to know I still got it."
Levia- "You haven't used me in basically seven years and nine months. But don't worry I won't say why you used me last."
Caleb- "Oh by the way Taric my stand talks and has a mind of it's own because she's weird like that."
Taric- (Gets up) "Yeah and you definitely hit hard for someone who looks like a homeless man. Sorry about your hat by the way."
Caleb- "Ah don't worry about it because it's just an object that can be replace. (Grabs Taric's collar) But if you did anything to the objects I have in it I will punch a hole into your head because they can't be."
Taric- "Okay. Okay. I wouldn't like to see you angry or bloodlusted."
Caleb- "Damn straight. Last time that happened was with Abel and I learned to stop time."
Taric- "Oh so that's your power. Wait what's the time?!"
Caleb- (Looks at his watch) "About 8:15."
Taric- "Crap my mom is gonna kill me if I'm late for school on the first day. Hey Sonata? You wanna make a run for it with me?"
Sonata- (Snaps out of his daze) "Uhh sure."
Levia- "Hmph his directions were gonna most likely be crap anyways."
We now swap to a first person point of view and see someone staring at a smartphone. The body holding it seems to be female and the voice is as well.
?- "Wait if I listen to the GPS and take a left again that means that I've just been going in a big circle. Owww come on you dumb thing just tell me the way I want to go."
GPS- "Turn around."
To which a biker covered in bits of ice with a chain casually spinning in one hand appears with a cold breeze rolling in. Back in the present Taric and Sonata were walking home from school when they come across a scene. A man with a knife was in the process of robbing a store but was thwarted when he commented on the young fated's hair. Despite the robber having a hostage Taric simple has his stand punch a hole through both of them. All that was left was for the Shield of Valoran to use it's powers of restoration to heal the wound while also leaving the knife in the large man's stomach. However as the teen is tackled by police for interfering with a delicate situation the true culprit leaves his victim's body. A stand made of water, called Ebb and Flow, was possessing the man after murdering the possessed thief's girlfriend. The user of this terrifying stand belongs to Arroyo who after commiting plenty of crimes several years ago including rape, assault, and murder has broken out of prison. Sadly one of his victims was the man who had helped in putting him behind bars, Taric's grandfather. Despite the psychopath waiting for it to rain which gave his stand a near omnipresence he is still beaten by both Fateds. His final words before being transmuted into a rock have shaken Caleb who has left to gather information. They mentioned about a stranger with a bow and arrow who granted him his stand along with the archer mentioning Abel. The next day while walking home from school Taric and Sonata go past a large house that has been condemned for over a decade. However Sonata notices that the small metal gate is opened and decides to peek his head through. What happens next is a foot slams the gate shut which starts to choke the blue haired boy. The culprit is another teen in a blue uniform marked with the word billion, with a bandana over his face which has a gas mask design, and black crew cut.
Kassadin- "Who the hell are you and why are you trespassing?"
Taric- "Hey! (Throws down his bag) Let go of him you bastard!"
From the second story an arrow finds it's mark in Sonata's neck and a commanding voice is heard telling Kassadin to kill Taric. Before Taric can get in range to heal his dying friend, who lacks the will to use a stand, Kass summons his stand. It's a fellow humanoid stand with a blue cuirass and white robes decorated in golden money symbols for yen and dollars on the shoulders. It's face is almost completely covered by a great helmet and a face mask with tubes connecting it to the body with only two yellow eyes showing. However the most attention drawing feature of the stand is it's right hand which has menacing distortion of colors for an aura, a web design on the palm and two bumps on the palm as well. What ruins the stands reveal however is when it tries to attack the fated a quick jab from The Shield of Valoran stops it mid attack.
?- "Kassadin! Your stand The Void Walker is terrifying but like anything else in life if you are too stupid to use it then it's worthless."
Kassadin- "Shut the hell up bro! The last thing I need is for you to piss me off while I (Taric walks past him) huh? Hey wait I'm not…" (Taric knocks him down)
Taric- "I just want to help my friend but if your dumbass gets in the way I'll smash in your face."
Kassadin- "I said get back here!"
Getting a bad feeling in his gut about the right hand trying to grab him Taric's stand is able to stop The Void Walker from completing it's swing. However while Kassadin's stand isn't as fast it seems to be just as strong and is eventually able to break free by punching with it's other hand. After creating some distance the young fated notices the younger brother has done something to the gate since some letters from the trespassing sign are missing. It is revealed the right hand of The Void Walker can cut like a blade and everything it swipes is scraped out of existence. The after effect is the gap created by the swipe is rapidly closed and even works on space which is promptly demonstrated when Kass forces Taric near him by swiping the space between them. Using his opponents shock of being teleported Kassadin is able to land a few easy blows but before he can end the fight he is easily tricked into having several nearby flower pots smash into his head. The victorious teen notices his dying friend's body has been dragged into the decrepit building. When the alternate support walks in he sees the silhouette of an older teen walking over to Sonata's body before tearing out the arrow. Behind the older brother Taric notices a few glints of light before leaping aside when a hail of miniature gunfire flies at the pompadour wearing teen. However the bullets still find a mark in the form of Kassadin's face after he attempts to restart his fight with Taric. Forced to relocate do to the enemy stand the aspect of starlight drags the younger brother with him to avoid more projectiles. Despite his older brother, who apparently goes by the name Heimerdinger, being willing to sacrifice him so easily the alternate mage refuses to help but is still healed by The Shield of Valoran. Carefully making his way into the house again Taric eventually finds his fellow student unconscious in a dark room on the second floor.
Taric- "Don't worry Sonata I'll save you!" (Gets his shoulder grabbed)
Kassadin- "You idiot!" (Summons his stand)
Taric- "Dumbass are you really about to fight me again!"
Kassadin- "No! ("Teleports" Sonata to them) I'm just paying you back. (Starts to leave) My brother says I'm too emotional but if that's the case I'll just have to learn to live with it."
Taric- "But why help me?"
Kassadin- "Because I owe you for saving me and I hate owing people."
Taric- (Summons his stand) "Kassadin (Smirks) I guess you're a great guy in the end."
Sonata- (Comes to) "What happened?!"
Taric- "Hey be careful. Now tell me if you saw Heimerdinger or where he might have gone?"
Sonta- "No. Uhh do you have a light or something because it's rather dark here?" (Taric pulls out a lighter)
Taric- 'Alright you blonde bastard where are you? (Turns it on) Shit even with a (Sees something on a rafter) hmph I guess your stand is a small fry. But how did it do so much damage earlier?'
Before The Shield of Valoran can be sent to investigate the small stand a squadron of toy-like soldiers open fire on the two trespassers. When the american G. I. inspired troops realize they can't get a good hit in from their angle due to the punch ghost in the way and begin to parachute down. Three however are swiftly destroyed by Taric's stand but to the fated's shock Sonata begins to notice the battle. While trying to explain what has been happening to the bluenette the duo are chased by not only more small soldiers but several miniature Abrams tanks and Apaches. Eventually the two intruders are cornered and the commander of the small army finally chooses to show himself. He is a teen with a thick moustache, a dark blue uniform marked with the word trillion, some aviator glasses and a wild flat top on his blonde head which seems to have several white streaks. A closer look at his small troops shows they are sporting handlebar mustaches and blue goggles.
Heimerdinger- "I truly dislike it whenever my soldiers are destroyed. Not because it hurts me or anything but because it ruins the formation I methodically put them in. (Sees Sonata standing) Hmm so the arrow didn't kill you after all. Good. Now show me your stand!"
Sonata- "My what?"
Taric- (Leans in) "If you have a stand then calling it out should be easy. You sort of just do."
Heimerdinger- "You know what I don't have all day and the best way to bring out a stand is the fight or flight reflex so green beret!"
An elite soldier rappels from a nearby Apache and begin to rapidly stab the naive boy in the face. With an aura of green an egg comes from Sonata's body and while disappointed the stand won't help him in his mission Heimerdinger quickly tells his company of troops to open fire when he sees the egg crack. Needing to get his friend away from the incoming attacks Taric punts the egg to send Sonata flying out of the room. The "turret" troops of The Revered Inventor assume a wall formation between their commander and the enemy.
Heimerdinger- "Taric is my research true? That whenever you hear someone talking bad about your hair you fly into a rage?" (Gains a dark blue aura)
Taric- "Why don't you try to find out?" (Gains his purple aura)
Heimerdinger- "Oh no I was just curious. Even if I did it doesn't change my plan of taking your legs so you can't run, breaking your arms so you can't block, and then blasting away your head until nothing is left."
Taric- "Oh that's a good plan. If you ignore the fact that I make it impossible!"
Sonata- (Gets up) 'His back is turned to me. If I can summon that egg thing again then maybe I can hit him with it. (Gains a green glow) I can beat him.'
Heimerdinger- (Turns around) "Your stand intrigues me so I'll kill you later." (Backhands Sonata)
Taric- "You son of a bitch!" (Rushes at Heimerdinger)
Cecil- "Now then. (Turns to Taric) All units! Fire!"
Like Moses crossing the Red Sea Taric has summoned his stand to punch away incoming attacks to beat down the smug brother. However Heimerdinger was using the barrage of bullets to distract from the miniature landmine on the floor which stuns the Fated in place. This is quickly followed by an Apache firing rockets into the aspect's left arm but not before The Shield of Valoran bats away several.
Heimerdinger- "Damn I love it when a plan comes together! Now units surround him so he can't block anything. (They do so) Now. Ready! (Puts his arm up) Aim! (Taric sits down) Oh ho are you going to surrender? Hahahaha."
Taric- (Cradles his arm) "No. But I do agree with you on plans coming together because I'm watching mine."
Heimerdinger- "What? (Sees the broken missiles reforming) Wait the rockets you broke are fixed?!" (Gets blown up by them)
Taric- "I'm guessing that your research was misplaced considering you didn't know my stand can restore just about anything. Except myself or bringing the dead back to life. But then again how about you write this down so you can remember. You know methodically."(Smirks)
With the older brother unconscious from the blastand the younger brother having lost the want to fight Taric and Sonata begin to explore the house. As they are checking the rooms for the bow Arroyo mentioned Heimerdinger had a crashing sound draws the duo's attention. When they enter the attic on the third floor Sonata has his foot grabbed by a hand but luckily Taric is able to cut it off. The being that the missing appendage belongs to though begins to cry before running into his corner which has an old box. It seems to stop crying however when the missing hand regenerates on the dwarf, blob creature.
Taric- "What are you?"
Sonata- "Aaaaaaahh!"
In the doorway in a blood soaked Heimerdinger with his glasses shattered to reveal the now one blue right eye seeing as how the other has glass in it. He stumbles past the duo to a cupboard before opening it to pull out the stand bow and arrow.
Heimerdinger- (Slides down a wall) "As you can see I need these things more than you two could possible. After all how am I going to kill my father?"
Taric- "Wait that's your father?" (Points to the blob)
Heimerdinger- "Was. Though I suppose now he matches what he was on the inside considering he was always a greedy bastard to say the least. You see over a decade ago a man named Abel gave him a job and in exchange my father would be paid greatly. Kass and me didn't care for awhile because it seemed to calm his temper getting all of that money. That is until one day when I got home from school to see my little brother crying. I thought at first he was just hit by our asshole dad but when I got to the kitchen."
(Flashback)
Gin- (Clutching his head) "Ahhhhhh Lord Abel I never even thought of betraying you?! No this would only happen if something happened to you?!"
(Present)
Heimerdinger- "A few weeks later he became the disgusting pile of slime you see."
Taric- "Did you ever try to get him some help?"
Heimerdinger- "Why the hell do you think I've been shooting people with this arrow? It's so I can find someone who can put him down. It's so I can finally move on with my life! (Begins to cry) I tried burning him, hacking him apart, and even threw him into a damn wood chipper but he always regenerated!"
Kassadin- (Enters the room) "But what if we found someone who could fix him? I mean Taric might be able to help him or we could find someone?"
Heimerdinger- "You dumbass we can't bring him back. Just like me. After all how can I after killing so many people this arrow?"
While watching the brothers talk Taric notices their dad holding a piece of old paper and rushes to it. Using The Shield of Valoran the Fated is able to restore the object and the teens learn what the blob has been trying to find. It is a photo taken from back when the brothers still had their mother and their father was human with the deformed man breaking out into tears upon seeing the image.
Sonata- (Looks up) "Hey are you guys the only people who live here or is there a fourth person?"
Staring down from the skylight is a figure clad in purple and shadows. From an electrical socket near the brothers a being begins to emerge and Heimerdinger punches Kassadin's "dumbass" away.A bright golden light blinds the room before disappearing along with Cecil and the arrows. As the teens head to the roof they are unable to find the culprit but they do notice The Revered Inventor electrocuted several blocks away on some wires. An hour later at a nearby hotel Caleb receives a phone call from someone he doesn't know.
?- "Hello is a Mr. Caleb here?"
Caleb- "You're speaking to him but I've never heard your voice before. So who are you?"
?- "Just someone who is going to kindly ask you to leave this town peacefully."
Caleb- "Why would I do that? After all who is going to after a strange tells them that."
?- "Oh but I'm not just any stranger because I have the stand arrow. Plus I just killed Cecil Heimerdinger to get it and Mr. Caleb don't think I wouldn't do the same to you."
Caleb- "So why did you call me then?"
?- "Because rumor has it your stand is very powerful and even able to stop time. But even if I just got my stand it can easily kill you. Now if you don't mind I'm just gonna have some fun with it since I'm sick of doing things like entrance exams."
Caleb- "Hehehe good joke. Also thanks for narrowing down my list of people to investigate. But before you go tell me how many stand users… (The phone explodes) God damn it."
Several days go by with Kassadin becoming quick friends with Taric and Sonata along with the bluenette unlocking his stand The Maven of Strings which has after hatching looks like a slug mermaid hybrid with a lone ponytail coming from it's head, a black and green camouflage color scheme, and the power to generate sounds along with auras to influence others through empathy. The day after dealing with The Decoy stand Taric and Kassadin are walking near a cafe when they notice Sonata sitting at a table with a cute redheaded girl across from him. Her hair is long with some waves, a school uniform on that has several rose designs on the sleeves, and amber eyes. The duo hide behind a nearby corner to observe the two and see why their friend wasn't able to hang out.
[The Table]
Sonata- "So why did you ask me to come here for?" (Takes a sip of cola)
Zyra- (Looks down) "Well you see I asked you here because I wanted to confess something. (Looks up) I wanted to tell you that I'm in love with you!"
[Hiding behind a corner]
Kassadin- "Whaaaat?!" (Taric covers his mouth)
[The Corner]
Zyra- "I've been so scared to tell you but it eventually got so bad I had to. It felt like my chest would burst and I felt like I'd work up the courage to tell you." (Starts to blush)
Sonata- 'I can't believe a girl just confessed to me. (Cheesy smile) I'm so happy.'
[Around the corner]
Kassadin- (Crying) "Why him? Come on! Even I haven't had someone do that for me."
Taric- "You gotta be happy for him. (Grabs Kass) I mean even I'm a bit shocked it's him. But I'm sure that you'll find love someday."
Kassadin- "*Sniff* You really think so."
Taric- "Of course and you'll probably have a daughter or something who looks hot."
Kassadin- "Wait! What the hell was that comment?! (Breaks away) If anything that means she'd be like a niece to you. Damn pervert!"
Taric- "Oh yeah but you called my mom hot the other day. Now that I think about it she'd probably be as ugly as your dad!"
Kassadin- "That hurts soooo much. I mean what if your kids look like your dad oh wait that's right you don't know who he is you bastard!"
Taric- "You son of a bitch!" (A fist fight breaks out)
[Away from the morons]
Zyra- "I mean you must have a girlfriend already."
Sonata- "So offense but are you trying to make fun of me or something?"
Zyra- "No! I mean your face has gotten sharper lately, you have a conviction when you walk, and you're so cute when you smile."
[Back around the corner]
Taric- "You get that out of your system?"
Kassadin- "Yeah but damn is he lucky."
[To the table]
Zyra- "I mean you must hate ugly girls like me." (Looks down)
Sonata- "There is no way anyone in your life has ever called you that. After all it's just not true."
Zyra- "Do you hate me?"
Sonata- "Huh? N-no I don't, but..."
Zyra- "Then do you love me?"
Sonata- "Wait what? Why does it have to be either? It's just..."
Zyra- "So do you hate me?"
Sonata- "Nani? That's not it. It's just you asked me so suddenly…" (Zyra punches the table)
Zyra- "Which is it?! Do you love me or do you hate me?! (Right eye starts to twitch) Just answer me already since I've already told you so much! (Her hair starts to flail) Damn it now I've spilled my coffee because of you! (Calms down) Oh my. (Clutches her cheeks) I just get so worked up sometimes. I-I'm so sorry and I hope you'll see me again." (Runs off)
[Around the corner]
Kassadin- "Uhhh now I feel like a balloon that's been deflated. Hell my jealousy seems to have left to somewhere pretty much instantly."
Taric- "You're right and so should we. But then again we were never here."
Kassadin- "I would have to agree with you. As a matter of fact weren't we at the arcade?"
So while the petrified Sonata's friends are making a break for it the bluenette tries to drink some soda to calm down. However to his disgust the glass has been filled with clumps of what seem to be Zyra's hair. The next day while cleaning the chemistry lab Sonata is surprised when Zyra manages to sneak up on him. Both of them agree to forget the girl's outburst yesterday but the schoolboy is petrified again when the alternate plant mage gives him a perfect fitting sweater and has made them lunch. Lucky for The Maven of Strings user the class president steps in to make him finish cleaning and decides to help the nervous wreck in taking out the garbage. By the school incinerators Sana is confronted by the lovestruck girl who warns the homewrecker to stay away from Sonata. The normal girl thinks of gossiping about Zyra when she starts to feel an itching in her scalp before a burning sensation. It doesn't take long for the long haired girl to realize her hair is on fire but then as she tries to get some nearby water to the brunette's horror red hairs blind her. As the flames start to consume her more Sana tries to scream for help but more hair enters her mouth to tie her tongue. When all hope seems lost The Void Walker rapidly scrapes away the flames and even Zyra's hairs.
Kassadin- "It looks like your suspicions about Zyra were correct."
Taric- "Yeah. (Looks at Sana) I'm sure she's glad you helped her but did you have to mess her hair up that much? I mean I can't bring back anything you scrape away."
Kassadin- "Like you said she is probably happy to be alive and besides I'm not a beautician. Anyways should we do something about that crazy bitch? I mean she is a stand user after all."
Taric- "No. I mean she doesn't seem like she means us any harm."
Kassadin- "She literally just tried to kill someone."
Taric- "I know but she likes Sonata so maybe he can talk to her or worse if we do try something she might lose it and attack him when we're not looking."
So the next day while hanging out the trio come up with a plan to help out with their yandere problem. Sonata is to let his appearance, grades, and public image slip so Zyra would lose interest but this immediately backfires when the redhead kidnaps him in his sleep. When the blue haired boy wakes up he is tied to a chair in a house that he notices has plants all over the place. All of the furniture is of high quality so the captive is able to deduce he must be in one of the vacation home by the ocean. The redhead who enters the dining room confirms this guess when she mentions that the CEO who owns it won't be coming back until the end of summer. Over the next few days in order to get her "man" to fulfill his potential the obsessed girl constantly quizzes Sonata on various subjects which should he fail he'll suffer a punishment. These include being force fed various random objects around the house and not being able to use the bathroom. When the crazed schoolgirl leaves to get more supplies for dinner and the homemade electrical chair she is finishing Sonata decides to make a move. Using his stand's large range he is able to find a nearby phone booth past the bushes of various flowers. While the boy is happy it's within his fifty meter range the feeling is quick to dissipate when he realizes he lack sufficient funds to make a call and even more when Zyra notices his stand.
Zyra- "I knew you were special from all the times I watched you. But this makes me so happy that we share something in common. It just shows even more that we are meant to be and it makes me almost happy enough to forgive you for trying to escape." (Gains a pink aura)
Quickly recalling his stand avoid any attacks that might come a force in his scalp yanks Sonata's entire body into the ceiling. With her hairs distracting her sweetheart Zyra tries to hang up the phone but the moment she touches the handset a beeping sound begins. The sound is coming from several sound notes Maven of the Strings left on her arm and when the call goes through Taric who has been searching for his friend answers. Kassadin and Taric are able to figure out from the sounds of the ocean in the background of the call that their friend must be by the vacation homes. Needing to be ready for the homewreckers who will come to take away her future boyfriend Zyra's hair begins to flow without a breeze as it comes to life with her stand Rise of the Thorns. Clumps of hair are shot into the various bushes around the cliffside house as she starts to plant her Garden of Thorns and induces Rampant Growth in certain spots. Half an hour later as the unstable girl tries to reenter her house The Maven of Strings is there to greet her and throws an aura of "I hate you!" onto the girl. While the aura's empathic powers would work on normal people Zyra is so caught up in her delusions that she is able to break free from the ability. A taxi drops off Taric and Kassadin near the house but then the duo try to help their friend a projectile speeds past them. The culprits are several red roses that have pompadours on top of their flowerheads called Thorn Spitters and near them to act as vanguards are some bunched up red tulips kept together with a beehive hairstyle which are properly named Vine Lashers since they have grown vines to act like arms. With his friends pinned down and his ability failing Sonata desperately moves furniture to try blocking the front door. However as her hair has unnatural strength the redhead is able break down the makeshift barricade but notices something strange. On the floor nearby is a brown husk that looks like Maven of Strings but after it's user panics a bit he realizes if his stand was dead so would he. Next to the opponents a green aura manifest and from the light a newly evolved Maven of the Strings Act 2 emerges. This time it has grown into a humanoid form which is covered in green metal plates giving it the form of a small knight mixed with a pupa. On it's back is a number 2 along with six golden lines stretching from the base of it's tail, which is now covered in music notes and has a diamond shaped stinger, to the glowing yellow eyes on it's head.
Zyra- "So what if your stand changed? If anything it looks smaller than before."
Sonata- 'I'm glad I grew but I still wish that door had blown her away.'
At that moment Maven Act 2, with it's far superior speed to Act 1, practically blinks in front of it's user and from the stand a large gust of wind blows the yandere dozens of meters away. Before Zyra is flung off the cliff she uses her Grasping Roots technique to grab a tree. Back in the house Sonata notices that his stands stinger was used to create a "Fwoosh" sound effect on the door. Seeing Taric and Kassadin finishing her now exhausted plant army The Rise of the Thorns has no choice but to try and rush her fight with her love interest. By the time she reaches the door however the bluenette has already finished cutting out the last of her hairs and given himself a flattop.
Sonata- "I can already tell you can't beat me now. Especially with my Act 2's new Power Chords and song abilities. (Gains a green aura) I won't be held in here any longer."
Zyra- (Her left eye starts to twitch) "Damn it this always happens whenever I get worked up since I was a child and unfortunately for you my prey it means I get violent."
The girl then tries to walk up the porch steps but when she grabs the railing Act 2's ability burns her hand. With her baby chick defying her, despite Zyra "owning" him, she decides that she must show the toughest form of love by completely wrapping the house in her hairs using her Stranglethorns power. Trying to use another Power Chord to slow down the girl the attack fails when the words from Maven's detachable stinger fail to connect.
Sonata- "To think her power could extend her hair this much. She has way to much mental power and what makes it worse is how vindictive it is."
Zyra- "I just need to make sure those words don't touch me. Now then I have one last thing to ask you. You love me right? Just try to say no and I'll tear both you along with this house apart."
Sonata- (Crosses his arms) "*Sigh* You know I'm standing here in this situation right now because you wouldn't understand when I told you. No, that I've been telling you that I didn't like you all this time."
Zyra- (Her left eye shuts) "I'll kill you, Sonata!" (Wraps him in Grasping Roots)
However grabbing her target was the yandere's fatal mistake as Sonata had written onto his back the sound "Dogon". It causes Zyra to be wrapped in green light before an explosion once again sends her flying towards the cliff's edges. Cautiously approaching the downed girl with the Maven of the Strings Act 2 the blue haired boy notices the red hair she used as a weapon is now white.
Sonata- "I hope she's alive. (Maven listens to her heart) Phew she is. She might be crazy and downright nasty but even so I'm glad."
Snapping awake Zyra use Grasping Roots on the Maven stand itself which begins to crush Sonata's neck and choke him. She has realized to bypass the boy's defenses and avenged her beautiful hair all she has to do is kill his stand. In a last ditch attack Act 2 tries to launch it's stinger but has it knocked off the cliff to the rocks below.
Zyra- "I don't care who you are. (Stands up) No one harms my beauty! I loved you but now I'm gonna tear off your limp dick and all of your organs out with it! Hahahahahaha! (Hears a crack) What the hell was that?"
Sonata- "Ack! Let go of Maven and grab onto something quick. When I listened for your heart I also was able to hear the ground becoming unstable."
Zyra- "Don't make shit up thinking it will save you! (The cliff falls apart) Shit I have to let this thing go! (Sees a rock incoming) I don't have enough time ahhhhhhh!"
As Zyra touches the rocks a "Boingy Boing" sound is heard and the rock turns rubbery before safely propelling her back onto the cliff. It doesn't take her long to realize that while she was trying to kill Sonata he was already thinking of a way to save her. As a defeated Vine Lasher is dragging it's best friend, a Thorn Spitter, back to the white haired girl the blue haired boy reunites with his friends.
Kassadin- "Hey, Sonata are you still alive?"
Taric- "Are you alright?"
Sonata- "Taric! Kassadin! What took you guys so long? Jeez."
(Back on the cliff)
Zyra- (Petting her tired plants) "I think I love him even more now. (Smiles) I won't even care if he ignores me forever because I'll be happy just thinking about you, Sonata."
(With the boys)
Kassadin- "Hey is that Zyra? Why is her hair all white now? Now that I look closer it looks like she's smiling right this way and at you Sonata."
Sonata- (Turns around) "Really?!"
Taric- "Yeah and it's pretty creepy as hell. Let's get out of here!"
Sonata- "Protect me Taric!"
Taric- "Don't depend on me!"
Kassadin- "Oh crap the cab driver got shot in the neck!"
Taric- "If he's alive I can heal him either way we gotta go now!"
Meanwhile a couple of fisherman notice some of the battle but interpreted what they saw as something else. Now the cliff has been added to the city's landmarks due to the story of a girl who tried to commit suicide being gently flung back to safety by a rock going boingy boing. The few days later at school Sonata aces a test but feels slightly sickened by the grade because it was Zyra who made him study for it. A week later a messenger from the Sivir foundation meets up with Caleb face to face. They inform the third Fated that Nita would be arriving tomorrow and that they have a lead on a young adult named Kennen who seems to be using his electric stand to steal objects. Later that night Taric is at home playing video games and is about to beat a game but with his mom distracting him, by poking him with her foot and reminding him he has chores to do, he fails. Done for the night the teen tries to turn off the television but it keeps coming back on before an electrical surge cause it to explode. When the smoke clears a humanoid figure that is a meter or so tall appears. The invader is going by the name The Heart of the Tempest and looks like a furry ninja covered in golden robes, crown of spikes on it's head that have a flow of electricity flickering between the points, a face mask that is pointed like a beak, and a dinosaur like tail casually flicking back and forth.
Taric- "You have a lot of nerve showing up here uninvited. Shield of Valoran!" (Summons his stand)
Kennen- "Well to be honest I've been keeping an eye on your little group ever since I stole the arrow. I know about every stand user you've met and I know what you all can do."
Taric- "Then why the hell are you out in the open now? After you've been hiding like a coward this whole time. Are you here to pick a fight?"
Kennen- "No, no, no, I'm here to kill you. After all that Caleb guy's stand is really strong and I wanted to see how much I've grown. (Points to his eye) So just try to hit me. I dare you."
Taric- "Are you kidding me?"
Kennen- "Come on just come a bit closer. Until you can match The Leviathan. Come on just a bit (Gets punched) Ack!"
Taric- "Quit your daydreaming!" (Shield starts punching) Dorararararara!"
Kennen- 'Shit! He's faster than I thought.'
Taric- "If you don't stop your daydreaming then I might as well make you sleep! Also Caleb's stand is way worse than this!"
Realizing he shouldn't have been as cocky Kennen has his stand punch Taric hard enough to send the teen flying to the otherside of the room. The Heart of the Tempest leaves but not before telling the fourth Fated he will return strong enough to beat even Caleb. The next morning our trio of best friends meet up on the edge of town in a field. After mentioning about how The Heart of the Tempest was at his house Kassadin makes the branch in his hand disappear. When the angered Void Walker ask why he wasn't told right away a mature voice answers him.
Caleb- "I asked Taric not to. After all the reason I asked you three to meet me here is because we have to talk where no electricity is around."
Taric- (Kass gets up) "Wait Kass! I'm just as pissed about Tempest as you are since he broke into my house and I think has been taking things from us whenever he wants. Also neat motorcycle you got Kassadin."
Sonata- "Wait now that I think about it I left my homework out the other day and it went missing. I thought my mom threw it away by accident."
Taric- "That's not a big deal. Besides the reason Tempest hasn't been causing as much trouble is because we're around. He can drag things into the power lines easily and that's ignoring the fact he has the bow and arrow. For all we know he could have shot someone already. (Turns to Caleb) So how are we going to find this guy?"
Caleb- "I actually already have a solution for this. You see at around noon I have my grandmother NIta coming in via boat. She's a stand user and her stand is called The Abandoned. It has plenty of abilities to help us such as spirit photos and it can even manipulate electronics."
?- "Then that sounds like an issue."
Kassadin- "I know that fucking voice!"
Tempest- (Emerges from the motorcycle) "Thanks for the ride moron. I was wondering why you all started to head out here and now I just have to kill an old lady. (Starts to drive off) You idiots make this shit way too easy!"
Caleb and Sonata try to hit the bike with but while Sonata barely misses an Act 2 Power Chord The Leviathan has been off. She is still shaken up from when she had another flash forward last week and kept muttering about lighting someone on fire, poison soccer ball, and thinking a girl was a prostitute.
Caleb- "Damn it! The Leviathan! (She comes out) Oh now you come out. Good fucking grief he's getting away."
Leviathan- (Shakes her head) "You know a way to say that is yare yare daze?"
Caleb- "Who care?! He's get to the old woman before us and Nita it's gonna win a fight in her state."
Kassadin- "Like hell he's getting away from me when he was so close! Void Walker! Check this out! Riftwalk!"
By using his stand to scrape away space in front of him Kassadin has learn to "teleport" himself a sort distance. Spamming his Riftwalk the teen is easily able to catch up to the motorcycle and lands on the seat. Trying to scrape away The Tempest the lone brother barely misses and as Kennen mocks his speed he fails to see Kass cut the bike in half. The electrical ninja is then sucker punched to the ground where The Void Walker begins to rapidly stomp on the down stand's body. Due to his stand having to hide in such a small battery the alternate yordle's stand has begun to lose energy and turn a rusted brown.
Caleb- "Kassadin! Keep him detained until we get close enough to catch him! (Turns to Sonata and Taric) Come on let's go."
Kassadin- "He was my brother and the only family I had left in this world! And you took him away! (Scrapes but misses) I'll kill you!" (Fails to scrape again)
The Tempest- "You know I might just be messing with your dumbass. I could be waiting for Caleb to get closer so I can kill him."
Kassadin- "Wait why would you tell me that? (Shakes his head) It's gotta be a trap. But then again maybe you told me that so I would put my guard down."
Knowing brains aren't the teens best quality Kennen has succeeded in putting the seeds of doubt in Kassadin's mind. As Caleb draws closer Kass makes a split decision to try and scrape away The Tempest one last time but fails. However this time the cut has opened a hole in the ground that leads to an underground power line. With a massive recharge the now glowing ninja cuts off his opponents right arm at the elbow to prevent more scrapes before pulling him into the power line. While Sonata starts to panic Taric is able to pull a clutch save by grabbing the amputated limb and brings Kassadin back before he could be electrocuted to death. The group quickly make it to the docks and make a plan for when Kennen arrive. Wanting to keep an eye on the younger brother Caleb goes to Nita's boat with Kassadin but tell Sonata to keep The Maven out so they can talk. Seeing his chance with half of the team gone and the blue haired boys stand away someone steps out from some nearby crates. The stranger is a young man dressed in a purple long coat with a gold cuffs, his face is covered by a purple bandana with lightning symbols, and an electric guitar. A small spitfire plane model lands next to him and from it emerges The Heart of the Tempest.
Kennen- "Damn I was hoping that I could have snuck my stand on board with this toy. Oh well your Taric right? I'd like to warn you that since our last scuffle my stand has had time to charge up. As a matter of fact I better it could take you out with one finger like it did to Kassadin." (Puts a pinky up)
Sonata- "Wait if he's showing himself then that means he feels like he can't lose."
Taric- "Wait a second if you're going to only be using a pinky to fight should I use some rules too?"
Kennen- "What?! A loser like you doesn't need any…" (Taric breaks his finger)
Suddenly In pain and pissed from Taric being a smartass Kennen does what he normal does to calm himself down. Managing to snap his pinky back into place the electric stand user begins a hate guitar solo. Even though he doesn't listen to much rock Sonata being attuned to sounds can easily hear the talent in his foes playing. Wanting to finish the fight asap Taric tries to launch an attack but misses. His confusion is quickly cleared when Sonata informs the Fated that Tempest emerged from the ground and turned him away. Using the drainage grates spread across the docks the alternate yordle's stand is able to launch surprise attacks from all directions. Due to having the element of surprise Kennen is able to hit Taric before Sonata can call out where the enemy stand is coming from. Eventually this forces The Shield of Valoran to start striking the ground at random but the holes created in the asphalt are making larger openings for The Heart of the Tempest to attack.
Kennen- (Checks his watch) "This should be done in less than two minutes."
Taric- (Glows pink) "Sonata I want you to call out where he's gonna come out next and quick."
Sonata- "But he moves too fast for me to react in time..." (Looks at the ground)
In the spots The Shield of Valoran made hole the nearby asphalt has been restored to a liquid state. Just before the electric stand can surface to make an attack bubbles form on the surface and give Taric time to pummel The Tempest. Meanwhile on a speedboat that is getting closer to the yacht Nita is on Caleb has finished his story to Kassadin about Fiora getting Brand shot in the head.
Kassadin- "So is that why you... (Sees a bright glow from the docks) What the hell is that?!"
Caleb- "Don't put your guard down when we get on board because if anything it means we have to be ready to fight!"
Kassadin- "Taric! Sonata!"
Back on the docks the two friends are blinded by a bright light emanating from The Heart of the Tempest. In a last ditch effort that will drain his stand of all it's stored energy Kennen has activated Slicing Maelstrom. In doing so he has absorbed all of the power and caused a blackout across the town to overcharge his stand to fight Taric head on. Taric launches his Shield of Valoran and the two stands begin to exchange a massive amount of blows. While the Fated is giving his all to try and land a hit Tempest is having the time of his life before punching Taric hard enough to send him flying. The teen is smashed into a nearby forklift but before he can be attacked again by Kennen a tire from the broken machine begins to reform around the electrical stand.
Kennen- "Shit! You meant to crash into that. Damn it my stand is trapped!"
Sonata- 'Oh right rubber is an insulator. Now that Tempest can't use electricity anymore all we have to do is wait for Mr. Caleb to come back.'
Kennen- "Ha! Just kidding. (Tempest punches out a hole) Maybe if it was a meter thick."
Taric- (Holds his arm) "Yeah but you would have been better trapped."
Thanks to a hole being punched in it the tire is propelled into the ocean due to the air in it and The Tempest goes flying with it. While a meter thick rubber could have held the stand in one place the ocean proceeds to do the opposite by dispersing Kennen's electricity stand. With the enemy incapacitated and Taric's electric bill saved the ship with Nita makes it to land. However when Caleb goes to retrieve Kennen's body it has disappeared and soon Kassadin is left with another choice. While he was busy guarding the now senile old woman two men entered the room to warn him of the enemy. With the clock ticking as a rusted Heart of the Tempest nears the old woman Kass makes his choice on who to believe. He punches the employee on the left and since it was Kennen in disguise his stand disappears. When asked about how he knew which one was the fake however the Void Walker admits that he was just going to punch both of them. With the arrow in the possession of the Sivir Foundation after Caleb interrogated a certain now imprisoned ninja the two older fated leave town but not before taking the latest stand user, a baby with the Demon Shade stand, with the elderly Nita. So with some semblance of peace restored to the town Sonata is walking to school one day when he notices Saru the user of Decoy hanging out near a large house. The monkey faced boy explains that he is following a rumor going around involving a celebrity buying a house.
Sonata- "Well who is it?"
Saru- "I hear it's the legendary idol Cassiopeia but she's been wanting to lead a more quiet life now."
Sonata- "Wait isn't she some kind of fashion model and stuff like that?"
Saru- "Yeah but she's also got a career as a mangaka and her stuff is really underrated. Wait don't you read Pink Dark Girl?"
Sonata- "Wait that's her?! (Looks to the house) Is this her house?"
As if to confirm the answer as yes the door to the house makes a loud opening sound but what freaks the two boys out is that it is quickly followed by a dragging sound. When the young stand users approach the door a voice calls to them from inside asking to come in. The entire inside of the house is dark despite it being early in the morning and the voice tells them to be careful walking around. What Sonata then sees after turning a corner is sitting a chair is a shadow with a long tail and two piercing green eyes.
Sonata- "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Cassiopeia- "Ouch! Why are you screaming? (Turns on a lamp) Some of the wiring is messed up and I'm waiting for someone to fix the lights. Anyways my name is Cassiopeia and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Sitting in the chair with a reticulated python in her lap is a woman in her early twenties. Her black hair is in a bob cut with a green headband, she is wearing a purple long sleeve button up shirt with white dress pants, and her emerald eyes are framed well by the golden pen nib earring she has. Getting up without her dangerous pet, which she assures won't attack them since she told it not to, the famous woman decides to give them a tour of the house. When she ask the duo why they sought her out Saur brings up they are fans of her manga and this brings a joy to her eyes. As a gift to her loyal followers the artist brings them into her studio on the second floor and briefly mentions that only those with true taste and of a certain quality can truly enjoy her writing.

A/N Sorry this took so long again guys and that I cut it off before we could get the HD Cassiopeia fight but the chapter was getting a bit long. I do have the art for it already though. Bad news and part of why this took a bit is DrawingDisaster and me had a falling out so no more crossovers which made me a bit depressed. But for us Jojo fans we got it after so long Part 5 and I already plan to make that parody soon. Though funny enough if Drawing had tried to sketch one of the Part 5 stand skins I would have done Part 5 instead. Plus this year's E3 was fucking amazing with Smash Ultimate, Devil May Cry 5, a teaser for Elder Scrolls 6, and much more. Anyways the usual hope you all enjoyed the chapter, spread the word if you liked it, vote in that poll I made please and I don't care who it is cause seriously I need you all to do that, be nice to each other, we all can be better, and have a nice day. I hope to see you all again soon.
