Chapter 25 - It's been a while.
-How was that even possible?!
-Mundo moved this piece.
-I can see that, but how did you manage to do that?...You cheated, didn't you?
-Mundo thinks you are making excuses because you are a stupid.
-Don't you dare call me that, I am a gentleman.
-Mundo thinks you are a chicken.
-I am a voidling!
It's been a week since we escaped from Viktor's lab, I have to say I expected our stay in Zaun to be incredibly awful but so far I can't really say is all that bad, yes every now and then we will suffer from an attack from the mafia or a bunch of mutated creatures from the sewers but aside from that everything is good, this young man called Ekko, the boy who shattered time, allowed us to stay in his workshop, we expected solitude but we found out the place was filled with orphans and several other interesting individuals...one of them was currently playing chess with Cho'Gath...and Cho'Gath was losing...this was his third loss in a row...this bulking man who called himself Mundo was quite smart for his stupid looks...
-Would you shut up?! Can't you see I'm working in something over here?
To my own surprise Viktor was here, it seems the lab Ekko blew was his only one, so to speak, he was currently in bankruptcy, to make things worst he had a large amount of delayed works, the clients were getting impatient and demanded a refund, Viktor decided to run away and hide for the time being...although he never expected he would have to hide with us...but the cyborg was far from scary...his metal parts were quite rusted and he had some sort of beard over his metal mask...he acted as if he was drunk and spent most of his time building toys for the orphans...
-Crazy uncle Viktor! - The cubs surrounded Viktor and demanded his attention - Crazy uncle Viktor! Play with us!
-Shut up, you fleshlings! I am the Machine herald! I have no time for stupid games with the likes of you!
-Come on! - The orphans started climbing on his shoulders - Finish our new toy! We are bored! Give us a piggy-back!
-Stop! Get away from me! No! HELP! - He was easily overwhelmed by the cubs.
-He! He's getting what he deserves! - An unnatural voice said behind me.
His name was Skarner, The Crystal Vanguard, he was also kidnapped by Viktor but he somehow managed to escape and now he was staying with us, I don't really know much about him since most of the time I spent in the cage I was trapped in my own suffering, but I heard Cho'Gath and him are great friends, he was a huge scorpion made of sapphire, even though he looked like a monster he was a kind and wise being, always ready to give advice.
-Good morning, Skarner.
-Hello, Vel'Koz, How's our favorite toaster?
-The cubs are on top of him.
-As always, what about Cho'Gath?
-He can't defeat Mundo in chess.
-Really? That's something I want to see... - We heard the powerful roar of Cho'Gath, it seems he ate the chessboard in his rage - I better go and see if Mundo is still alive, what are you doing today?
-I will help Ekko looking for supplies and orphans in the slums.
-Have fun then!- He said and strode towards Cho'Gath who was trying to puke the chessboard.
Zaun wasn't a good city-state, the pollution had covered the skies completely, every now and then we could hear explosions, screams of agony, the constant battles between the mafias and other creatures left the smell of death and streets covered in blood, there was no justice in this land and the only ones you could call "authorities" were the lords of the slave black market, who ruled over Zaun with iron fist and fear.
Slavery, something I cannot possibly understand, and at this point I don't want to do it, degrade a human being in nothing more but cattle was, by far, the most disturbing thing I've learnt from the human race, humans aren't the same, I'm aware of that, but, biologically, they are the same, two arms, two legs, two eyes...there were subtle differences but my point stands...it is beyond me why they thought material properties, such as money, can grant them the power to humiliate another person...It's, in my opinion, disgusting...but little I can do to solve this matter...Humans never change...they never learn...they cannot be saved...
-Hey, Vel'Koz, are you ready?
Well, there is hope...Ekko knew Zaun inside out, he was an orphan himself and knew the destiny for them...test subjects or slaves...So he decided to create his workshop, a place where cubs could feel safe and have a respectable life, the lords of Zaun saw him as an enemy and tried to kill him in the past...but he refused...and lived to protect every poor soul in Zaun, he was a beacon of hope...he was the future of Zaun...
-I am, Ekko, lead the way.
He nodded and we ventured into Zaun.
Zaun was a quiet city, in comparison with Piltover at least, the grey buildings were small and the streets were dirty, there were no lamppost and the sky was so polluted no even the light of the moon could illuminate the city at night, the pedestrian walked slowly but warily, looking behind them at times or keeping their gaze on the ground, sometimes a vehicle would pass on the street, generally it would stop and several men would shot at a building or kill someone on the street, no one seemed to care, it was the norm here, Ekko asked for our help since he believed no one would mess with a bunch of scary monsters, his reasoning was mistaken since he would get attacked anyways, although with us around his chances of survival were above zero.
The slums were located near the contaminated river of Zaun, it was conformed of houses made of scrap, junk and mud, most of the inhabitans were mutants, failed test subjects and orphans, it was the hunting ground of the slavers, the mafia constatly wanted control over it since it was an strategic point thanks to the river, to summarize the denizens of the slums were doomed, at least Ekko tried to save as many cubs as possible, if he could save at least one of them it was his victory...a hollow victory.
Our journey to the slums was fruitless, we encounter neither the slavers nor the mafia, we also couldn't find any lost cub in the deserted houses and the supplies were already rotten, we only found the lonely body of a little girl in the middle of the street, Ekko stood there, staring at the corpse holding a small doll in her hands, I decided to inspect the surroundings, I felt he wanted to be alone, so I quietly left watching as he lifted the corpse and went to the river, he came back without it.
-I buried her - he said quietly - I fixed her hair and cleaned her face, she would have wanted it, to be pretty one last time.
I remained quiet, his statement was illogical, she was a corpse, there was no way Ekko could tell what the girl wanted, I could make assumptions but the truth would remain unknown...if only...she were here...maybe I could answer this question...if only...
Lately I've found myself remembering Kalista quite often, I would gaze into the sky and wonder what could have been if she were here, I spent hours remembering her voice, her smile, her smell, our meeting, her promise, our wedding, our journey, Demacia, our battle against Kassadin, us being heroes, Sona, Poppy, the attack, Demacia burning, her death...her final words...I remember everything...and it hurt...I couldn't explain why but it hurt...a sharp pain in my core...a cold whisper in my mind...I wish I could simply forget her...but I won't...she will forever remain in my memory...a hard lesson...I hope I can heal this wound...only time will tell...
-Are you okay? - Ekko asked concerned - You are making that face again.
-I don't have a face.
-It's a figure of speech, what I mean is that you are kind of gloomy.
-Gloomy?
-Yes, I can't explain it but I can feel it, sadness and stuff like that around you.
-Is just...human things...
-Ah? Are you...wait... - Ekko looked behind me and suddenly he stiffened, clearly shocked by something.
I looked behind me and saw a group of people surrounding a fat man with a big cage beside him, in his cage there were several humans dressed in rags, filled with bruises and mud, some of them were cubs, crying for help, the adults begged for help and some others simply lied on the ground...either dead or without a single care in the world...the slave market was here...
-LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! - The man called - COME! COME AND FEAST YOUR EYES IN THIS FINE MERCHANDISE! - The crowd cheered - YES! YES FIRST LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THIS YOUNG ONE! - A cub with black hair and green eyes was displayed - IONIAN QUALITY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! YOU CAN CHECK FOR YOURSELF - He say ripping off the clothes of the cub - FEAST YOUR EYES IN THIS DELICIOUS SKIN!
-IT'S A BOY!
-I OFFER TWO-THOUSAND GOLD.
The crowd started throwing gold coins at the cub, some of those coins hitting him and hurting him, the cub covered his head and fell to the ground in a fetal position, at this the crowd laughed and continued throwing coins...until the cub was covered in blood.
-Now! Now! Don't damage the products or else you'll have to pay for them - The fat man said making the crowd laugh - Now! Here we have a...DEMACIAN YOUNG LADY! - He said jerking a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes - And if I remember correctly...SHE IS A VIRGIN! WE WILL BEGIN THE OFFER WITH TWENTY-THOUSAND GOLD!
Ekko watched, gaze full of wrath, trying his best to control his anger, I could see a small trail of blood in his mouth, his knuckles were pale and even I could see his murderous aura.
-And here we have...a grandma? - the fat man said examining an old lady - Uhm...Well, I guess there is one thing to do... - He kicked the old lady out of the stage into the ground - GET HER, BOYS!- He said whistling.
A pack of hounds appeared behind him and leaped towards the old lady, her screams were drowned in the laughther of the crowd, at the end, only a puddle of blood and her bones remained.
-Let's go - Ekko muttered walking away - I can't stand this anymore, let's go.
I watched as he left, wondering if there's something I could do, but the answer was simple, I couldn't, I came to terms with my own weakness a long time ago, I'm powerless, I could destroy them, but I would be no different from them, I made a promise and that promise is all I have left to remember her...Kalista...I hope my decision is right...I wish you could be here...but you are not...and will never be...I simply sighed and followed Ekko, still listening to the slaver.
-...AND FOR LAST! - I heard the slaver talk again - WE HAVE THIS SPECIAL PRODUCT COURTESY OF NOXUS! BEHOLD THIS BEAUTY! Yes, a gift from Noxus, this little trash over here it's the worst backstabbing piece of shit I've seen in my entire life...and I'm sure she will make a fine slave...or meat bag, I don't really care so let's begin with Twenty g...HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING? SOMEONE CATCH THAT BITCH!
I turned around just to see a figure run past me followed by the slaver and his hounds, it was a woman dressed with a simple piece of cloth over her body, her skin was pale and she had many bruises and scars all over her arms and legs, her hair was of a crimson red, dirty and messy with a few white strands at her side...but what caught my attention were her eyes, emerald eyes...the same eyes I saw before I was betrayed, the last thing I saw before I was left to die in the middle of the sea, the same eyes that still haunted my memory...
-Sarah? - I called quietly.
She turned around briefly but ignored me and continued her escape, I saw the slaver running after her followed by a pack of hounds, the mob behind me groaned missing the show, they threw some rocks at the slaves in the cage and left laughing.
-Hey, man, are you okay? - Ekko said shaking me a little - you look quite shocked?
-Ekko.
-yeah?
-Did you see that woman escaping?
-I did...It's pretty sad...those hounds will, most likely, tear her apart.
-I want to save her.
-You...What?!
-I want to save her.
-Vel'Koz, I'm afraid you just can't understand how dangerous slavers are...They rule this fucking city...you can't just go and say "I will save the slaves", No! I know you are strong but if you attack one of them the rest will chase after you...so far you've been fighting the mafia and some monsters from the sewers...this is different, you simply can't...
-I will save her, whether you like it or not.
-Then I will stop you - He said blocking my way - Maybe it's not such a big deal for you but it is for me...I'll be the one dealing with them, not you, you will leave once Vi comes, but I will say here dealing with them. so be a good octopus and stay low, besides, what is she to you?
-She is a part of my past I can't let go.
-What do you mean?
-Before I came to Zaun she and I were traveling together...but she made a deal with Noxians...and she betrayed me...she is the reason why I haven't returned to Piltover...she tried to kill me...there are many things I need to tell her...I know it doesn't make sense to you...but I need to do this...I know she deserves to be punished for her sins...but...I want to save her...I can't explain it...I just know I have to...
-Look...I just...You can't...It doesn't make sense, why would you?...AGH! FINE! I will help you find her! BUT JUST FIND HER! If you want to save her that is your problem, ARE WE CLEAR?!
-Yes
-Okay, give me a second - He said taking a small device out of his pocket - I will hack into the surveillance system and find your redhead...
-There's a surveillance system?
-Yeah, but only the slavers know about it, how else did you think they managed to catch so many slaves in Zaun? They use this system to locate them...those sick voyeurism fucks... - Ekko spat checking throurgh the device - ...Found her! Watch here... - He showed me the image of a dark dead end alley with a big pink grafitti of the letter X, Sarah was there trying to climb the walls, after that she looked behind her and dissapeared from the monitor - I know where that is...just keep moving in a straight line and you will find it...
-Thank you, Ekko.
-Don,'t thank me...if you choose to save her you can't come to the workshop ever again...you'll be on your own...I'm sorry but I can't risk the life of so many children for a single woman...
-I understand...Thank you for everything...tell my friends I will miss them - and then I left without looking back.
As I rushed through the alleys a thousand of question tortured my mind, What was I suppose to do? How should I greet her? Should I say hi? Will she recognize me? Did I...forgive her? or Am I going to execute her in the spot? What will she think then? Will she cry? Will she fight? or will she simply accept her fate? I simply don't know what will happen...and that scares me...I've never been scared of something I don't know...I almost don't want to save her...almost...
I reached the dark alley with a pink graffiti of the letter X, I looked around and realize there were footprints in the ground, canine footprints, maybe old footprints...or the slaver was here first, Ekko did said slavers could use the surveillance system, but there were no signs of a fight...so maybe...Sarah was still here...but where...there are no places to hide...unless...I backtrack a little and find a small crate hidden in the shadows...I opened it and looked inside...Sarah was there, curled into an uncomfortable position she managed to fit inside the crate, her breathing stopped the moment I opened the crate...she started to shake in fear...I decided to wait until she felt strong enough to look at me, but she didn't, she remained silent...so I touched her, she flinched but didn't do anything else...I carefully took her out of the crate and helped her sit on the ground I lifted her chin to have a better look at her face, she had her eyes closed and her lips were trembling...I suppose I have to speak first...
-Sarah... - I said softly
She stopped shaking and slowly opened her eyes, she blinked a few times and then she smiled sadly...
-Ah...I must be dead...and I must be in hell...- She muttered - ...were you waiting for me?...will you torture me for eternity?...That's okay...If I have to stay here in hell for everything I've done...I rather spend this never ending nightmare with you...
-Sarah...You are not dead.
-Are you sure?...Because this place smells like hell to me...
-You are alive...in Zaun.
-Zaun?...- She laughed - So they did sell me as a slave...So that means...- She lifted her chained arms and placed her hands at my sides - Did you buy me?...so you could torture me...make me regret my decision...or...were you finally corrupted by this world and you now seek...something else?
-No, I will finish what started during the Harrowing.
-Oh...I see...- Sarah then lied on the ground and waited - Just...make it painlessly...I know I don't deserve it...but please...I've suffered enough...
She smiled one last time and closed her eyes, with a quick move I destroyed the chains in her arms and legs, she opened her eyes and her face twisted in shock, her smile was gone and was replaced by a frown.
-What are you doing? - She asked standing up.
-I'm helping you.
-Why?
-Because you need it.
-Don't bullshit me...tell me why are you helping me?
-Sarah, You were in danger so I...
-SHUT UP! - Sarah said slapping me - WHY ARE YOU HELPING ME? I BETRAYED YOU! I SHOT YOU! I LEFT YOU FOR DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA! WHY ARE YOU HELPING ME!?
-Sarah, listen to me, I...
-NO! YOU LISTEN TO ME! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL ME! DO IT!
-Sarah, calm down, let me... - She slapped me again - help you, I promise I will... - She punched me - get you out of here, just, listen to me.
-I BETRAYED YOU! I SOLD YOU FOR NOTHING I...I... - She fell on her knees - Why? Just kill me...just...- Tears started falling from her eyes - Just kill me, please, end my sorry life... - She swung her arm trying to hit me but failed - please...let me go...
-Sarah... - I said lifting her chin - It's okay, I forgive you.
-Why? - She said grabbing my limb and hugging it - I did many awful things to you...Why are you doing this?
-I made a promise...and that promise is everything I have left from her...come with me...I will help you... - I said carrying her in my tentacles.
-Ah... - She caressed my side - Are you okay? I hit you pretty hard...I'm sorry...
-It's okay...I'm used to it...
-I'm sorry...
-Don't worry, to be honest, your punches were so weak I didn't even realized you were hitting me.
-Did you just...insult me?
-Oh joy! I came looking for a runaway slave and now...I get to capture and exotic monster! Can this day get any better? - A voice said behind us.
I turned around and saw the slaver standing behind his pack of hounds, I didn't realize the were here...those dogs...are not normal...
-You really did a number on me, stupid bitch! - The salver said snapping his fingers, the hounds started to get closer - I am a man with a reputation to keep...and you just DECIDED TO LEAVE?! ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT? YOU ARE MINE, BITCH! MINE!...but I won't kill you...no...I will train you - He smiled wickedly - I will turn you into the perfect meat-doll, I will enjoy watching you break, I will make you wish you weren't born...and you, squid, drop that bitch and leave...there are some weirdos here that would pay a fortune for a monster like you...
Sarah was trembling in fear on my limbs, I watched as her eyes darkened once again and tear began falling from them...and then I heard Ekko's warning...I should leave Sarah and escape...It's the best option...but I made my choice a long time ago...
-She is coming with me, whether you like it or not, human, so don't step over that line, or else you're gonna have a very bad time.
-ARE YOU SERIOUS? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO AM I? I AM THE MASTERS OF THESE SLAVES! I RULE ZAUN AND DO AS I PLEASE WITH IT! I AM THE MASTER OF THIS CITY, YOU ARE NOTHING, YOU HEAR, NOTHING! - He snapped his fingers again, the hounds started making strange noises and I saw bolts of light coming from their jaws, I was right, those hounds were something else - Surprised? - The slaver mocked - I am not a fool, squid, every slaver in Zaun heard about Viktor's defeat against a bunch of monsters...so I decided to spend a bit of money for protection, bodyguards seemed useless against monsters of the void...so we got these bad boys...specially designed to hunt voidlings...so come, let's have some fun!
The hounds got closer slowly, the strange light in their maw crackled as if they were laughing at me, I might be able to fight them...but there are too many of them...and I still have Sarah with me, even if I survive...she won't...she has to survive...and if I have to sacrifice my life for hers...
Suddenly a bright blue light shone above us and the hounds started to shake out of control, after a while smoke started to come out of their maws and they fell to the ground to never move again, the slaver looked in shock and snapped his fingers once again, but nothing happened.
-WHA...WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? - He said snapping his fingers over and over again - GET UP! GET UP, YOU STUPID ROBOTS! WHAT DID YOU DO? WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?
-It's called EMP, Electromagnetic Pulse, it is created by a nuclear explosion resulting in charging electric and magnetic fields with an overload of energy causing damaging currents and voltage surges strong enough to destroy any electronic device nearby - A voice said behind him.
He turned around and saw Ekko walking slowly towards him.
-YOU!...I REMEMBER YOU! YOU ARE THAT FUCKING BRAT THAT KEEPS STEALING OUR MERCHANDISE! HOW DARE YOU GET IN MY WAY? WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS THIS?!
-It's science and I ain't gonna explain shit... - Ekko said shrugging - oh, wait, I already did, you are just so stupid you didn't understand a single thing.
-HOW DARE YOU? YOU KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT! THE SLAVERS ARE WATCHING YOU, KID! THEY WILL KIL...
-I guess you really are stupid...- Ekko sighed - I said the EMP will destroy any electronic device including your hounds...and the surveillance system in this area - The salver stopped yelling, shocked - So that means...no one is watching...no one knows you are here...and no one will...don't you agree, Vel'Koz?
Ekko winked at me...Oh...So that's his plan...And I just have to play my part of the plan...Let's see...How was it...cold and creepy if I remember correctly...
-It seems your chances of survival are Less than Zero - I said as I got closer to the slaver.
-NO! GET AWAY FROM ME! YOU MONSTER! STOP IT! - He said backing into the wall and trying to hit me with his hands.
-Flailing appears to be a universal response, hmm, I wonder...- With a quick move of my free limb I touched one of his arms, his arm fell to the ground surrounded by a puddle of blood - When bisected neither half grows back...- I muttered dissapointed.
The slaver looked at his arm on the ground, he tried to scream but no sound came out of his mouth, he rolled his eyes and then he fell unconscious.
-Damn, dude...- Ekko said inspecting his body - That was hardcore, what if he dies of blood loss.
-His wound was immediately cauterized, there is no immediate danger to his life.
-Yeah? That's a shame...but I guess we are being better than them, also, How's your redhead?
-She is...unconscious...- I said checking Sarah's face.
-I guess it was too much for her.
-Ekko.
-Yeah?
-Why did you come back?
-Because I remembered I could use the EMP against the surveillance system, that way the slavers won't know it was me.
-Why did you come back? - I insisted.
-Man, I've already told you why...
-Ekko.
-You know, you are quite sharp sometimes - Ekko said rubbing his hair - ...I guess...I was tired of running away...tired of turning my back and ignoring the pain in front of me...I'm tired and I want to change everything...Zaun is more than just slaves and corruption...I believe the future lies in Zaun...and I want to build it with my own hands...
-So...that means you...
-Yep! Good boy Ekko is gone...They will know who I am...I will hunt down every single one of them...they will regret setting foot in this city...
-But you said...
-I know what I said...I know this is a mistake...but...I rather make mistakes than nothing at all...there are always consequences, I know that very well...but doing nothing is just as bad...it's time to change...besides...I have my own secret service of Voidborns...They aren't getting my head any time soon.
-I see...we will help you as much as we can.
-Glad to hear you have my back...at least until Vi comes for you.
-What should we do with the slaver?
-Take him with us, of course, he might know a bunch of things about the other slavers.
-Take him...with us?
-Yes, us, you and your redhead are coming with me.
-But...you said...
-I know what I said...don't make me rewind everything and just come with me, you fool.
-I...Thank you, Ekko...Thank you...
-That's what friends are for...
-Oh! Sarah my dear! I'm really glad you are okay!
-Thank you, Cho'Gath.
-Where have you been, dear?
-It's...a long story...
-Oh! I see...well then, I will let you rest...you've done well. dear.
-Thank you.
Cho'Gath smiled and left the room, Sarah was resting in one of the few beds in the workshop and had most of her wounds patched by now, after a warm bad she was mostly back to normal, her skin was still pale and she had a few bruises over her face, she changed her rags to some decent clothes and after a quick meal she started smiling again, she asked a favor though, she needed me by her side at all times.
-Are you okay?
-Yes, I am, Where's Ekko?
-He is dealing with the slavers.
-I see...I wanted to thank him...but I guess I'll have to wait.
-I suppose...Sarah...You have to tell me what happened after...after The Harrowing.
-I guess...I have to... - She sighed - Do you remember LeBlanc? Of course you remember her...Well...Let's just say you can't trust Noxians...you see after I...left you behind I was supposed to deliver LeBlanc to Noxus, everything was okay...well...it wasn't...the crew was extremely displeased with my behaviour and with the Noxians...there were rumors of a mutiny...fortunately it didn't happen so we reached Noxus safe and sound...but I suppose you've guessed the end of the story...as LeBlanc would say...No loose ends...we were ambushed by the assassins on our way out and my crew and I became prisioners.
-I understand...but you were alone...What happened to your crew?
-That...- She said biting her lip - ...I will tell you what happened...but...could you please have patience with me?...It was...traumatic for me...- I nodded - Good...Well...You know I was a prisoner of Noxus, right? We spent our time there being tortured by the guards, some of my crew died due to the harsh environment we were in...So we grew tired of that...and decided to escape...It wasn't easy...the guards were watching us...they could sense our intentions...they wanted to kill us...they just needed a reason...one night we broke out...everything was going according to the plan...but...right when we were almost out of Noxus...they...my crew they...- Tears started to drop from Sarah's eyes - They...left me for dead...they threw me out of the ship we managed to steal...I fell...into the dark waves of the ocean...and the Noxians caught me again...Can you believe it - She said with a sad smile - My crew betrayed me...just like I betrayed you... - Sarah couldn't continue and just broke in weeping.
I watched as she covered her face with her hands, crying and muttering apologies, I watched in silence, I couldn't say anything, I felt like I shouldn't, How did the humans call it? Atonement for her crimes, I wanted to comfort her but part of me felt like she deserved everything that happened to her and more, this particular feeling felt disgusting so I decided to ignore it. she was suffering and I would do anything to stop her tears.
-Hey... - She finally said - Thank you...for listening to me...it still hurts...but I feel a bit better.
-I'm glad you feel better.
-It's funny, isn't it? I used to hate the mere sight of you...and here you are...comforting me...I'm glad you didn't change.
-Well I almost did change but I was saved by Kalis...
-MISTER OCTOPUS! MISTER OCTOPUS! - A young cub came running into the room - PLEASE, HELP HIM, MISTER OCTOPUS!
-What's wrong?
-THERE ARE TWO BADDIES INSIDE!
-What do you mean?
-They came looking fo Ekko...and when crazy uncle Viktor tried to answer one of them started punching him! Please, save Crazy Uncle Viktor! HE IS GOING TO DIE AT THIS RATE!
-Uh...Do I really have to? I mean if he dies... - Sarah slapped me - Why would you do that?
-Vel'Koz! - She scolded me - I don't know what's the deal with you and that robot...but if you forgave me then you can forgive him too.
-But...
Sarah simply crossed her arms and gave me a scolding glare, I sighed in defeat.
-Alright, I will save that crazy robot - I stated reluctantly - I will come back once everything is over.
-Yes, Please do - Sarah said with a gentle smile.
I followed the cub through the halls of the workshop, as I got closer I could hear a distant banging, I was surprised no one else was going there, I suppose Ekko took the other voidlings and Skarner in his mission, so that means I would have to deal with the trespassers on my own, quite annoying if you ask me, Zaunites are pretty stubborn and stupid, I will try to reason with them, but if I fail I'm afraid I will have to deal some substantial damage to them...I just hope they can survive my attack...not that it matters if they die, I can easily dispose of the bodies...although I'm not sure what the cubs will say if I disintegrate a bunch of Zaunites in front of them...guess I will have to find out...
-Cub, how many enemies are here?
-Two, but one of them is really scary.
-How so?
-I mean...He is pretty strong and yells a lot...but...What kind of man dyes his hair pink?
-Wait...a man...with pink hair?
Suddenly from the wall next to us Viktor came through the wall and crashed in the next one destroying it as well, from the hole of the wall a man with pink hair came huffing and clenching his fist.
-I WILL ASK YOU ONE LAST TIME, WHERE IS HE, YOU PIECE OF TRASH? IF YOU WON'T TALK I WILL FUCKING RIP YOUR FRUCKING BA...
That was no man, that was Vi wearing a Tuxedo disguised like a man...it suited her but I suppose if I tell her she will definetly kill me, before I could say anything Vi hugged me.
-You are alive... - She whispered, her tears falling in my body - You are alive...I thought I lost you...but you are alive...I'm glad...I was so worried...but here you are...
-Vi...I'm happy to see you too...there's so much I want to tell so I w...Vi...you are hurting me...could you please st...
-I was quite worried... - She said smiling menacingly - ...I didn't know anything about you...and then this GOAT comes saying stuff like you are her beloved one...so I was wondering... - She lifted my body and threw me through the hole she made- ...WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING?
-VI, What's wro...- Caitlyn came in running but then she stopped to watch what was going on - Oh...Seems you are okay without me...So I...eh...I guess I will go and...you know...make some tea or something... - and she left.
-Sheriff! Please! Help me! - I pleaded - Vi! Please! I don't understand! What's wrong!?
-What's wrong?! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY ASKING ME WHAT'S WRONG? I WAS SICK WORRIED ABOUT YOU AND YOU WERE PLAYING AROUND WITH OTHER GIRLS AND YOU ARE TELLING ME YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND?!
-Yes! I don't understand what's wrong?! could you please tell me why...
-Vel'Koz! - Sarah came and knelt beside me - Are you okay? I heard a lot of noise...Hey, you! - She said walking to Vi and slapping her - Don't you dare hurt him, you sorry excuse of a man!
Vi was furious, she just glared at Sarah with a crazy grin, I watched as her usual vein started to pop off, she started to laugh maniacally.
-GET FUCKING DUNKED, BITCH!
-WHY ME?
