Cal nervously stood at his gate with Vi. He watched the ever growing crowd make their way to their seats for the new day's festivities. They had managed to make it into the winner bracket and he felt good because of it. He looked around to observe the rest of the competitors. Many still had bandages from their previous fights, he figured he was lucky to not have been hurt during the last fight. Jinx was impatiently tapping her foot while Shaco was competing with Olaf to see who could juggle the most weapons. Shaco was currently juggling 6 daggers, Olaf only doing so with 5 axes. He yelled at Sejuani to toss another one of his axes in. She obliged and did so throwing it at him and he incorporated it into his throws perfectly. Ahri was cuddling up against Warwick who was simply smiling at the affection. Vlad and Kalista were simply exchanging words while Trynd was doing push ups with Ashe on his back. Rumble was tinkering with his machine while Trist sang one of her army songs. The others had not shown up yet.
Eventually after the stadium was filled and the others had shown up Draaaven spoke into the mic. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen to day 3 of our couple's tourney! Today's schedule will be mostly the same, just that we will be alternating from the loser bracket to the winner bracket. Now let's start with the first fight. To start up we have Viktor and Perfection vs Orianna and Blitzcrank. The metallic figures made their way to the arena's center. Blitzcrank awkwardly waved to his creator. "Greetings father how are you?" Viktor felt a smile creep upon his face. "Good my child, I am glad to see you still function." Blitzcrank nodded. "Affirmative, I am also elated to see you function. Have you repaired the injured connections between you and your arm?" He asked pointing to the hand that was currently remaining still. "Hm? Yes we have managed to patch the bug with a hot fix." He said and gestured perfection to wave. "Done talking?" Draaaven said impatiently. "Affirmative." Was their reply. "Fight then!" Draaven announced.
"I'll make this quick." Viktor said. before he was grabbed by Blitzcranks arm. "My son is so thoughtful." He commented before he was hit by a power fist. While Viktor was in the air he looked at his robotic arm. "Perfection?" At the mention of her/it's name the arm seemed to perk up and fired off a death ray at the golem. He blocked it with his arms as Orianna gave an attack command to her orb, launching it at the Zaunite inventor. It hit him with such force that he was sent flying against the arena wall. Viktor groaned in pain. "That's enough of that." As he said that he threw a disc underneath the feet of the machines. Before they could do anything the disc unleashed it's magnetic field freezing the robots in place. Now neutralized Viktor quickly made his way over before the disc ran out of power. He went for Orianna first quickly looking her over. After a moment the scientist let out a robotic laugh. "Piltover's simplicity never ceases to amuse me." As he said this he yanked the wind up key behind her back out and Orianna's eyes ceased to shine their blue colour. Before he could make his way over to Blitzcrank the disc died and the gravity field broke down. Before Viktor could take out another disc he was once again yanked towards the golem by his rocket grab. "Sorry about this, I'll repair your hard drive myself so you have nothing to fear." And with that his robotic hand bore a hole in the center of Blitzcranks cranium. He stuttered for a moment before dropping Viktor and falling to the floor. "Viktor wins!" Viktor brushed the dust off his shoulders before speaking. "Perfection, give me a h-51 screwdriver." The desired tool was handed to him and he unscrewed Blitz's head. "What are you doing?" Draaaven asked. "Fixing him of course." He replied absentmindedly. "Take your work else where at least." With that said Viktor had some employees carry the machines out of the arena so he could repair them himself leaving the arena ready for the next fight.
Next up we have Warwick and Ahri vs Vladimir and Kalista. The couples seemed pleasantly surprised they were matched up against each other. "It's been awhile since we last fought each other." Warwick said with a toothy grin. Vladimir grinned back. "It's the first time we've involved our partners too." Ahri giggled. "I won't lose to you Kalista." The ghost simply nodded. "Nor shall I." Shaco laughed and shook his head. "I don't know who to cheer for." He said as he continued to laugh. "I know I'm going to cheer for the ghost lady since she's cool. Go ghost lady!" Jinx shouted as the group began making their way to the center. Kalista paused. She wasn't sure she liked being called "ghost lady" but decided to thank Jinx for her support anyways. "GL and HF you guys!" Shaco called after them before they were face to face in the center. "Fight!"
"Come here Vladdy." Ahri said as she attempted to charm the Noxian. She was astonished to find that he was not phased by it. "I'm fine where I am." He said calmly. "However you look a little pale, why not have a seat?" As he said this he drained the blood from Ahri's legs, causing them to buckle and collapse. Warwick tried to pounce onto Vlad but he was struck aside by Kalista's pierce. "I've devised a plan for you Warwick, here have a taste." Vladimir said as he sprayed blood into Warwick's face. Now blinded he instinctively turned to his sense of smell but he was further hindered when he found all he could smell was Vlad's blood currently in his nostrils. "I can't see where they are!" He shouted in frustration. Ahri decided to try and be his eyes. "Vlad's right in front of you and Kal's to your right, she just lunged forward with another spear!" She shouted. Warwick obediently followed the instructions and ducked the spear and before Kalista could hop away again Warwick chomped down on her and began swinging her about in his jaws. The specter called Vlad with fate's call. This allowed Vlad to force himself between Warwick and Kalista. He then hit him with tides of blood repeatedly until the werewolf's fur was matted with blood, both Vlad's and his own. Ahri cringed. Warwick wasn't going to last much longer like this, but she was only no beginning to regain strength in her legs. She had to think of a way to distract them. Suddenly an idea struck her. "Hey Kalista?" She shouted at the ghost. Kalista was about to ignore her and aid her lover in finishing Warwick off but froze when she heard the next words out of Ahri's mouth. "I cheated on Warwick!" Kalista stiffened. "You did what?" She hissed. "You heard me, I cheated on him, he trusted me and I cheated on him!" She announcer to everyone in the arena. Warwick paused his futile swipes, even Vladimir stopped his assault. "You understand what that implies correct?" Kalista said with ever growing venom. "I betrayed him." Ahri said completing Kalista's thought. The word betrayed flipped her switch and without any thinking she wrenched Vladimir from where he stood. Before Vlad could protest Kalista hurled him at Ahri. As she was knocked up into the air she smiled. It has worked. "Warwick Vlad's right under me!" Warwick quickly followed the sound of her voice and in an act of blind faith, lunged him self forward for his infinite duress. To his relief he heard Vladimir's cries of pain as he began slashing away with his claws. When he had thought he had had enough Warwick stopped and let him fall to the ground. Kalista was shaking in fury now. "You defend your betrayer!?" She said rage heavily laced in her words. "It's because he knows it was a lie." Ahri said bemusedly. "What?!" Kalista shouted. "I just said that so you would stop hitting my boyfriend, loyalty to my loved one or whatever you'd call it." Ahri said toying with Kalista's logic. "Then you have betrayed me." Kalista insisted, not wanting to so easily forgive the fox. "How is being loyal to Warwick betraying you?" Kalista grew silent, the spirits inside her struggled to grasp the conflicting loyalties. Kalista smiled. It was only when the spirits were not in unity did she have full control of herself. "Very well you are forgiven." She said warmly before she rend the spears in Warwick's body. Warwick collapsed to the floor. "But I will not let you win this battle." Ahri grinned, her legs were back to normal by now, taking Kalista by surprise with a spirit rush. To her surprise though Kalista anticipated the lunge and jumped back accordingly sticking a spear in the fox's abdomen as she did so. Ahri cringed but kept her smile. "One step ahead of you." The fox said as she hurled her orb of deception into Kalista. The ghost cursed and fell to her knees. "I'm not done yet I will no-" She began but was silenced as the orb struck Kalista a 2nd time as it returned to Ahri. "Now you are."
Kalista only muttered before collapsing to the floor. "Warwick and Ahri win!" Draaaven shouted. Ahri collapsed once again, her legs apparently hadn't fully recovered from Vlad's transfusion. "Are you alright?" Draaaven asked. Ahri nodded. "I'm still conscious." That was when she froze. She saw Kalista smiling. Before she could figure out why the spear in her abdomen was ripped from or flesh, Ahri coughing blood before falling over. With the final action performed Kalista fell back into unconsciousness. The crowd was stunned. "I-It's a tie?" Draaaven said befuddled. He and some organizers quickly scrambled together to talk about how to handle this event. Draaaven returned to the mic with a winning smile. "We have decided that in response to each couple's clear strength and that neither are able to continue the fight currently, we will allow both of them to advance in the tourney." The crowd roared at the upset, the tournament had just taken an unusual turn.
