(February 22nd 2015 – 12:21 PM – Nathan's apartment, New York, Earth)
As soon as the three of them saw all of the Champions and the people outside of that building, they didn't think it twice when it came to escape from there, whatever happened with the stranger was no longer their business. With the car already parked they were now on the elevator, going up, Quinn and Nathan were near the door while Lisa was behind, looking at all the contents that she picked up from her former house.
After being attracted by what that box might contain, Nate looked behind and saw something shining from the inside. A closer inspection it revealed it was a metal crest with the blue covering most of and all of the details made of gold, in the middle, Demacia's `wing´ on the front and behind it, a big sword and a staff crossed each other which represented the weapons Lux and his brother Garen use all of the time. This was definitely the crest of the Crownguard, one of the noble families from Demacia.
¨That was something from Lux¨ Lisa started the conversation which created some curiosity on the side of the scout as she looked behind at the item the Summoner was holding in his hand.
¨It is the crest from the Crownguard, a noble family in Demacia. I'm not surprised to see Lux carrying that around, especially in this world¨ Quinn added and turned to the front, opening the door to the elevator now that they arrived to their floor.
Once in the right floor, the redhead stopped the two students before they stepped further into the corridor. A bright flame appeared in her right hand and the phoenix-themed crossbow appeared, on her shoulder Valor was also summoned, startling Lisa and Nate after his appearance.
¨What's hap-¨ Lisa grabbed the purple haired's arm; she couldn't finish her sentence as Quinn hushed the student, pressing a finger onto her lips.
¨I can sense something right here…¨ She whispered and gave two steps forward, aiming with her crossbow at anything that might come up in their way.
¨Lux is living right next to us, I'm pretty sure what you are sensing is-¨
¨I wouldn't be doing this if it was only Lux, Nate. There is another Champion¨
Quinn was on the front, leading and protecting the kids in case that presence appeared. The first apartment they came across was Lisa's, the scout ordered her to stay inside and close the door but when she opened it, the blonde came out with her baton already prepared and aiming at the black haired who was trying to cover her face with the box.
¨Oh, it's you¨ The Crownguard girl lowered her weapon and so did Lisa with her box ¨I can see you felt it too¨ Lux looked at the other demacian who nodded.
The blonde dragged the black haired student into her apartment and closed the door; she was probably the only person in that group that couldn't use any weapon or magic to defend herself. With Lux and Quinn now on the front and Nate covering the rear, the three of them got to the door of the Summoner's apartment, however they were surprised to see that the door was slightly open, no sign that the lock was broken or anything, it was just open.
¨(Did I forgot to close the door?)¨ The owner thought.
Quinn grabbed pushed the door to the apartment slowly, trying not to make any noise but Valor just rushed inside and towards the kitchen but he couldn't find where this presence was. The two Champions entered and so did the Summoner from behind as he closed the door.
¨Stay together, we don't want to…¨ Lux's voice trailed off as she heard something, that something was the sound of water running down and it came near the bedroom, most precisely, the bathroom.
Quinn ordered the blonde to stay alongside Nathan while she moved towards the door where the sound came from. Her hand was now on the metal handle, whatever was on the other side it was not invited to the apartment, only a few people knew that it was the home of a Summoner and they feared that the one inside was no other than Sejuani.
Without hesitating, Quinn turned the handle of the door and pushed it, she aimed the crossbow at the person behind the curtain but the sound of the falling water did not alert the uninvited guest.
¨Get out, NOW!¨ The scout shouted and the person showering heard it, the water stopped flowing and the sound of the curtain rolling to the side entered through Lux and Nate's ears who weren't able to see anything but for Quinn, she was able to see who this guest was ¨H-how?!¨
¨Oh come on, who were you expecting bird lady? Prince I-shout-and-tear-the-ground-apart?¨ That female voice was very well known by the scout and the light mage, Nate heard it as well, but he refused to believe who that person was.
¨Wait, stay there, you are not-¨
¨Shut up, I wanna see who is here as well¨ A pale and wet arm just moved Quinn out of the way as the rest of the body showed up in front of the blonde and the purple haired.
In front of them a very thin girl with cyan and long hair that covered most of her back, her skin was pale and in the right side of her body a lot of tattoos that resembled to bullets and clouds apparently. That girl was not a normal person, she was a Champion who represented Zaun, many in the League called her the Loose Cannon, but some others like to refer to her by the name of Jinx. Both Lux and Nate were frozen in place, yes they were surprised to see the zaunite in the apartment, but most importantly was that she wasn't wearing any clothes at all!
¨Lux? So you were the one I sensed when I arrived¨ Her psychotic grin was even more terrifying in person, her red eyes turned to the left and focused on the Summoner ¨And what do we have here…?¨ Jinx started to walk, leaving some wet footprints on the ground, there was still water falling from her.
¨S-stay back¨ Nathan extended his hands trying to stop but she just kept walking up to the point he touched the girl's `breasts´, she kept advancing and the only thing the Summoner could do was to step back until the wall hits his back ¨What do you want?!¨
Jinx kept moving forward up until the point where the purple haired was no longer able to move back, she grabbed the Summoner's shoulders and locked him against the wall, she pursed her lips and got closer to his ear ¨I wanted to shower¨ the Loose Cannon said with a sultry tone as she stepped back. When the zaunite turned her head back at the blonde she tried to contain laughter as the Crownguard was covering her eyes in embarrasment ¨What's wrong Luxy? Not used to see another person naked? You probably saw your boyfriend's thingy dangling more than once¨
Probably the blonde couldn't counter attack since she tried to look away due to the red in her cheeks. Quinn stepped in and tried to protect her boyfriend by grabbing Jinx's shoulder and turning her, soaking the Summoner and Lux.
¨Listen well, I don't know why you are here but take your clothes and leave this place. There are enough problems as of now and you are not helping!¨ The redhead pushed the Loose Cannon back to the bathroom to which she entered ¨Besides, how did you actually get in here?¨
¨Oh, you know, I was sitting comfortable on top of a rocket and when I had the chance, I jumped on the nearest roof that looked safe to land on¨ Her voice was muffled by the walls. Once the cyan haired came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a black shirt and some camo shorts, in her right hand her bra and the pink shorts she usually wears in Runeterra ¨So, what's in for lunch?¨
¨Wait, what?! You're not going to stay in my house! We know Vi and Cait are in New York so the last thing I want is them tearing down this building just to find you¨ Nate looked at the zaunite dumbfounded, he walked to the door and opened it, expecting to see Jinx walk out of his apartment, but instead he found something different.
¨Soooooooooooooooo, how do I look?¨ The new guest into the house was Lisa, but something changed in her, she wasn't using the same clothes from before, instead she had that white, blue and golden armor that Lux used, in other words she was cosplaying the demacian.
¨Lisa… what the fuck?!¨ Nate was almost speechless as the girl entered into the apartment.
¨I asked Lux if I could use her `battle armor´, she said she didn't mind so-¨ Lisa looked at the cyan haired girl ¨Who… is she?¨
¨You live with Champions, but yet you don't recognize me Lux number 2? Well, let me give you a brief presentation¨ The zaunite grinned and bowed in front of Lisa ¨My name is Jinx, professional troublemaker, rated as the most wanted in Piltover's criminal list and of course a great philosopher in the academy of Blow-everything-up!¨
After hearing who she was, Lisa rushed behind Nathan for cover ¨Y-you… you are the one at the bank… and the mall! I'll call the police¨ Even if she was wearing Lux's dress, she was still carrying her cellphone.
But she wasn't able to dial any number because Jinx was already aiming her with Pow-Pow which was magically summoned into her hands ¨Nuh huh number 2. If you do that I would have no other choice but to turn you into cheese. So just gimme that thing and no one has to get hurt¨ The Loose Cannon extended her hand and immediately received the phone and hid it in the pockets of her new shorts ¨There we go, now I will ask again. What's in for lunch?¨
…
With Lux and Lisa back to their apartment, it was only Quinn, Jinx and Nathan in the table, their plates were full of food, were because the zaunite's plate was already empty and she was just licking the leftovers from her dish.
¨That was a nice meal Summoner¨ She threw the dish at the wall behind her and broke it into pieces as it fell to the ground ¨By the way, you said that Piltover's lamest were in your city, and I know they are, because… ¨she chuckled ¨… I escaped from them twice already. So what I want to know is where do they live right now, I just want to practice some firework show at their place¨
¨I-I don't-¨
Nate got interrupted by Quinn who grabbed his shoulder, when the Summoner turned his head, she shook her head ¨Jinx, we already gave you food, we let you shower, but now you are just abusing of Nathan's hospitality¨
¨Well…¨ She leaned back on the chair and placed her feet on top of the table ¨… I don't have any place to live now, those Summoners and their Champions probably killed the guy who gave me a place to stay, and with Fat hands looking for me, the best I can do is just sit here and relax¨
¨Wait… Summoners and Champions?¨ Nate looked with confusion as he turned at Quinn once again ¨By any chance, do you remember who were those Champions?¨
¨Can do! Apart from the Piltover's, there was also Thresh, Leona…¨ Jinx put a finger in her chin, trying to remember all of the names that came up in her mind ¨Oh! And Katarina as well¨
¨K-katarina?¨
¨Yes dumbass. Red hair, one scar in an eye, daggers, noxian, and sexy. Do I need to explain it more?¨
Nate remembered something, the day before Quinn appeared by the apartment weeks ago, he met with Claire and another girl, the latter was covering mostly of her face except for the nose, eyes and the red hair. Earlier this day he also saw Katarina coming out of that building with some of the Champions the Loose Cannon already mentioned.
¨Wait a minute… that means Claire is-¨
¨Claire? That's the name the little girl was screaming all the time¨ Nate got interrupted again by Jinx who placed her nude feet back on the ground ¨Oops, I think I might've said too much¨ She stood up from the chair and stretched her arms ¨Very well, I will stay here until this place gets boring, in the meantime I'll just take a nap¨ She walked towards the couch and laid there, placing her hands behind her head ¨Cya peeps¨
Nathan was about to say something but Quinn dragged him to his bedroom and closed the door so Jinx wasn't able to hear their conversation.
¨W-what are we going to do with her?¨
¨We'll let her stay comfortable, and when she least expects it…¨ Quinn mashed her fist onto her free hand ¨… We will bring Vi and Caitlyn so they could take care of her.
¨You know… we haven't heard anything from Sejuani lately, you think something happened to her?¨
¨You are caring about her?¨ Quinn looked at him dumbfounded.
¨No, no… it's just… It's odd that she hasn't appeared after we defeated her¨ Nate looked at the bed, there were a lot of clothes on top of it since Jinx was looking in the wardrobe for some suitable clothes for her ¨So… your bed is occupied right now, but mine is not… and I thought that-
¨Keep dreaming, even if we get along very well right now, we are not that deep into the relationship¨ She smiled and dropped a kiss on his cheek, as she turned towards the bed and started to pick up some of the clothes.
I'll be dropping this chapter today because tomorrow is going to be a very busy day for me (A.K.A. Worlds & Fnatic being the first match of the day). Well well well, our dearest psychopath is now enjoying her stay at Nate's apartment, but for how long will this peace last? And where is Sejuani and Lissandra? I'm not sure where but for some reason I believe something may happen in the next chapter ;)
Malleus08: Great job with the chapter as always. Looking forward to seeing where you take this. I'm rooting for TSM at worlds. Keep up the good work
Thanks man! The story will get more exciting the closer we are getting to the end, and as for TSM, I'm not a big fan of them and they are not the favorites either, but I'm sure they are going to fight their way out of groups (even if it's the group of death)
Yorkmanic88: Yordles...Furry versions of dwarfs...and can sometimes be damn nuisance. (Also the music was meant for the romantic scene of Nathan and Quinn so there's no need for you commit suicide or whatever you call it...)
Fuck Teemo in particular. Also for the music... I misunderstood! *Jumps out of the window and escapes in a car*
Guest: This story is a lot better than your old one , you have improved a lot .
Hey thanks! I'm looking forward to improve so I can make top content for the next fanfic.
Guest: Whattt? My tips being taken seriously? :P Have a look about and see what works well against Fiora perhaps a good Jax or Ryze would do by catching her off and shutting down trades with some cc before turning on her
Onto the actual story so far I love it! But what about creatures such as Nocturne? What would happen to them? Would they gain his hated of "Fleshbags" ? Would they start to transform into the Darkness that Nocturne is? What about Kha'zic and other's like Nocturne who despise humans? I'd love to see what would happen to them being bound to them.
While I haven't seen Ryze in a while since his rework I don't know about that, as for Jax... well, he used to be Fiora's main counter back in the day but now I don't know how it works but I believe he is still on the top of the counter list.
As for your question: The Institute tries to bound the Summoners with ¨normal¨ champions, there are a few cases when they can be paired with the most dangerous ones (For example, the stranger in this story is no other than Ralzith from Summoning Magic whose bound Champion was Kha'Zix) All of the Summoners may change depending on the link between the two, if someone is bound to Nocturne then he/she ¨may¨ suffer some changes in which he/she turns into a ghost thingy or starts hating humans.
In case nobody noticed, I already started writing the sequel to Summoning Magic, and it's called Joh- Heroes and Legends, but don't worry guys and girls, this fanfic is on top of my list so you'll see more regular updates into this, but once it's done then I'll dedicate to H&L
Also, holy molly, haven't received so many reviews in a single chapter! Thanks guys!
And some bad news here, I got demoted to Gold I after losing a ranked ;-;
Nothing more to say, have a nice weekend and don't forget to cheer for your favorite team tomorrow!
See you in the next chapter ;)
