AC: It took a while, but I finally manage to find the training they'll have there.

Chapter 9: Excursion in Runeterra part 2

Everyone was awake and was already walking outside of the Institute of War and followed Isaac and Galio. The summoners all brought a bag with them, but none of them known what's in it.

"You are lucky to be here. Since he's not here, the void champion won't be attack by him," Isaac commented.

"We know already," Susie replied.

"Newbies need to be told this pretty much often. You will pass this day outside of those walls and also during the night, twice. You have to start learning to survive when you are stuck in the forest. You will have to use your spell ability and also work with your champion to survive," Isaac said. "I thought about it and decided to have a little game with the six of you."

He pointed the three void summoners and their champions who gasped.

"What little game?" Alfred asked suspiciously.

"Newbie. We will play a survival game," Isaac said.

"Why are they spare of this game?!" Aflred asked.

Olivia, Ishigo, Aatrox and Blitzcrank looked at each other's.

"They will play a harder game than yours," Isaac said, his eyes shining with malicious intention.

No one liked his eyes.

"What game? What game?" Kog'maw asked with some excitement.

"A night in the forest. Maybe it's the Howling March or maybe not," Isaac said.

Everyone gasped except Olivia who punched the stomach of her brother. "Don't lie about it! It's not the Howling March with undead! It's just a normal nameless forest near the Institute of War."

Isaac was on the ground and he grunted: "Dammit Brownie! You have to hit that hard." Everyone sighted relief. "You will have to survive two in this forest. We will come search you in two days."

"We don't have any training in survival," Victor replied.

"Also, in two days, it's Monday!" Albert shouted surprised.

"Time scape is different. One day in our world = two days in this world." Galio resumed.

"I know. It is only two day. You will have to find food, water and shelter while working with your champion while..." Isaac posed his word for a few seconds, "...caught by a binding gear."

Isaac took out a gear and they looked at it. They were bracelet with some shining color. There were three pairs of three colors, one red, one yellow and one green.

"Which pair you want? Once you picked up, you give one to your champion and one for you," Isaac said.

Victor picked the yellow one while Alfred picked the red one.

"Then the green one if for us," Susie said.

Victor put it on his wrist just like Susie and Alfred and put it on their champion wrist, except Vel'Koz left tentacles since he didn't have wrist.

"The binding bracelet is activated now. You will not be able to be more than 10 ft. away from your champion and none of you can drag the other," Isaac said.

"You are a bastard!" Cho'Gath shouted. "I have a dead weight on me!"

"Isaac always put something like that." Vel'Koz commented.

"You want us, who doesn't know how to survive in the woods to survive two days?" Susie asked.

"Yes. If you are cowards or losers, proving your Newbiness, then you can give up and return to the Institute of War," Isaac said with a mocking smile.

"No way!" Cho'Gath shouted crossing his arms.

"Yes. You will both be death if you act like a baby," Isaac replied.

Cho'Gath shouted and charged at Isaac furiously, but the bracelet activated and dragged him on the ground.

"Listen. Your void partner knows how to survive. This game will ask you to fully trust your champion. You will have to listen to them when you hunt for food or finding water."

The void summoners looked at their partner. Cho'Gath puffed and looked away from Isaac. Victor felt it was mostly made for him.

"Do you understand?" Isaac asked.

"Yes," the all answered.

"What you said?" Kog'maw asked confused.

Isaac face palm while Blitzcrank laughed loudly. Isaac explained again.

"Now. Did you all understand?" Isaac asked.

"Yes!" They all said.

"No fun game," Kog'maw grunted.

"Alright. One last thing. You will all be dispersed in the forest. You should probably try to reunite together when you could. If you want to give up, you and your champion had to press marked; I'm a quitter," Isaac said.

"Not really tempting," the six victims said.

"Now that it's done for you. Olivia, Ishigo, Aatrox and blitzy-"

"Blitzcrank!"

"Blitzy." Isaac said while smoked came out of the golem. "You will play the game, escape the thousand booby traps!" Isaac said with a smile.

"Please let us switch place with them," Aatrox begged.

Somehow, the void champions and the void summoners realised they got it easy if Aatrox wants to switch place.

"Sorry, they are now gone," Isaac said as he snapped his fingers.

The void summoners and their partners disappeared by the teleport spell.

"You were kidding about the thousand booby trap right?" Ishigo asked.

Isaac eyes shined and he knew it wasn't the case.

Survival in the forest: Day 1

Albert and Kog'maw

Kog'maw appeared in the air and he felt on the ground. He grunted in pain when he noticed there was a shadow appearing under him.

"Shadow?" He didn't have time to look up that Albert felt on his partner.

Alfred grunted in pain and he heard a whining under him. He realised he felt on his partner and he stood up: "Sorry. Are you alright?"

"Aaaahhh." Kog'maw said confused. He shook his head and smiled: "Me okay!"

Albert smiled and patted his head. "Good. Sorry for falling on you."

"Me okay," Kog'maw repeated. He looked around and he only saw the forest.

"We are alone Kog'maw. I hope you are ready for his game," Alfred told his partner.

"Ready and-" Kog'maw saw a little fur ball walking around. "Hungry!"

He charged at the little furry ball.

"Don't eat the Poro!" Alfred warned.

Kog'maw mouth was only two inch away when the bracelet shined and cut his charge. He felt on his butt and he grunted in pain while the Poro simply walked away. Kog'maw looked at the bracelet around his little wrist.

"Hate this," Kog'maw whined.

"You're not hurt at least," Alfred said patting his head again. "Even if we don't like it, we should check what's in my bag and see how we can use it to find food."

"Hungry," Kog'maw complained. He ran to a tree and he was once again blocked by the binding. He dropped his head and tail and whined.

"Let's see. We have...I already have, my summoner glove, better wear it," Alfred said. "And...Nothing. Nothing?!" Alfred shouted. He dropped his head and grunted. "Why would anyone give nothing?!"

"Nothing? Then me eat," Kog'maw said.

Alfred moved the bag away. "No. I think we can put things inside. It's easier to transport things like food and, oh! A lighter and a water bottle. Those will be useful. First thing first. Let's find some food and water."

"Yeah!" Kog'maw agreed with a smile.

They started searching for food.

Susie and Vel'Koz

Susie landed on the feet and Vel'Koz floated near her.

"He sure loved to make us fall when he teleport us," Susie grunted. "I loved Olivia, but I hate Isaac."

"I agreed. His knowledge is just...wrong," Vel'Koz rolled his eyes.

"Okay. He left us with a bag, a lighter and a bottle of water, empty of course. Okay, I never been in this forest, you?" Susie asked.

"No. I'll make some calculation to see where we are depending on the residual mana left here," Vel'Koz said summoning an electronic screen and making some calculation. He close his eye dropped his head, "Nothing. I can't pinpoint where we are."

"We are in a big forest. Since he wants us to survive, the first thing will be to find food and water. Then we should search the others," Susie commented.

"True. It is the best to be with the others. I don't know any way to find water or food," Vel'Koz warned.

"You don't have a mouth, so I don't think you are interest in this. One thing is sure," Susie said when she saw a Poro. "I won't eat a Poro. They are just too cute."

Vel'Koz looked at the Poro. "What does this thing do to make you open your mouth like Cho'Gath when he's about to eat something?" He started studying the Poro when he felt Susie glare. Vel'Koz turned around.

"Did you just compare me to him?" Susie asked with her eyes turning red.

Vel'Koz knew what was next. Lying or telling the true had the same consequence: "Yes." Susie squished his eye with a punch. "Argh! My eye!"

"Never compare me to any void being! I don't want to image having an attribute from them!" Susie schooled the Eye of the Void.

"I was only saying a fact!" Vel'Koz replied.

Susie sighted. "Let's go."

"Okay," Vel'Koz answered.

Victor and Cho'Gath

Victor felt on the back of his partner who grunted.

"I hate this guy!" Cho'Gath shouted. He stood up and Victor slid on his back and on his tail.

"Ouch." Victor stood up. "Cho. I-"

"Cho'Gath!" he shouted back.

"Okay! I thought it didn't bother you that much anymore," Victor replied.

"It's that guy and his...game," Cho'Gath replied.

"Yeah. We should play along for now and showed him were not pussies," Victor suggested.

"Yeah. We aren't cowards," Cho'Gath grunted.

Victor checked the bag and he had the same thing than the others.

"An empty canister for water and a lighter. He sure is generous," Victor commented. He picked his summoner glove and put it on his hand. "With this, I think we should go."

Cho'Gath sniffed the air and he looked around.

"I smell flesh around us," he looked at a Poro and he salivated.

He charged at the Poro and once again, the bracelet stopped him.

"Follow me! We have to get this-" he saw nothing. The Poro escape. "CURSE YOU ISAAC!"

Elsewhere, Isaac felt hatred coming at him. He then smiled: "I'm so good at making people hate me."

Back to the duo, Victor put his fingers on his forehead: "First thing first cho-"

"Cho'Gath!"

"Cho," Victor replied. Cho'Gath glared at him, but he didn't nothing more. "We should focus on finding food for the two of us and water."

"That will be easy," Cho'Gath said. He walked forward and Victor followed him. A few times, Cho'Gath stopped because of the bracelet. "Walk faster!"

"I'm walking faster. You are tall and take bigger step," Victor replied.

Cho'Gath walked a little slower in the forest.

Institute of War: Escape the thousand traps

Olivia, Aatrox, Ishogo and Blitzcrank sat together in a bench near the battle arena and they were a little nervous.

"Do you think your brother will go overboard in his training?" Ishigo asked.

"I know my annoying brother. When he's not giving us training, he's-"

"Drinking, reading, annoying you, etc." Ishigo interrupted her.

"The worst part is that once he did the three at the same time," Aatrox commented. "I think he'll give us a run for our money"

"My processor tells me that your brother is a sadist," Blitzcrank replied.

"He's not a sadist," Olivia replied to the golem.

"He put the void summoners in the forest with only a lighter and an empty bottle, he did everything so they won't puss out and he is planning one of the most dangerous training for us. Calculation indicated that he's a sadistic," Blitzcrank concluded rising his finger. "Still less than Aatrox."

"I enjoy making people suffer and killing them," Aatrox said. "I'm honest with it at least."

"Can't disagree with that," Ishigo said. "Maybe even a little Masochist. You cut yourself and you use blood for battle."

"It's not the same. I learn fighting with the blood art. I won't give detail, your stomachs aren't tough enough," Aatrox said.

"I don't have a stomach," Blitzcrank replied.

"Who-"

Galio entered in the room: "Preparation are done. You can come now."

They followed him and when they reached the arena, they saw that the arena was now an immense labyrinth.

"The game is for you to pass the labyrinth in two hours. Be careful, there are no minions, but it's still dangerous," Isaac said from above.

Galio opened his wings and joined him.

"Dangerous! What could he prepare in fifteen minutes?" Aatrox said with a smile. He put his feet on the ground and:

BIP! BIP! BIP!

"What the-" Aatrox was cut.

BOUM!

The smoke dispersed and Aatrox was completely black with smoke coming out of his mouth as he opened it.

"Olivia. I'm sorry. But he's officially a sadist," Aatrox felt on the ground and another explosion occurred.

"BIG BROTHER! HOW MANY TRAPS DOES THIS LABYRINTH HAVE!" Olivia screamed at him while Blitzcrank dragged Aatrox out of there.

"305 124 traps! Good luck getting out of here!" Isaac replied with a smile.

The four victims looked at him, before screaming: "WHAT THE F-"

To be continued

AC: This is the end of chapter 9. I had some trouble finding a way to train them, but now I found it. I hope you'll have fun with it.

After this training, we will enter in the main story divided in big Arcs as they will be ready and bond enough with their void champion.

The first big Arc will be: Azir and The Sun Disc Saga.

I decided to use this since I have no champion of the Shurima.
