This chapter will continue from the previous chapter and involve a lot of action, and will also introduce the new fandom.
Chapter 70- The Arena and the New World
Runeterra, Aea, Khago
"These chains are killing me."
Sara looked around at the dark dungeon she was trapped in. After Jaeclune had been attacked, Sara, Jax, Madeline, Jian, Conner, Oasana, Billy and Lorina had crashed in the northern city of Khago, whose notable post was an arena.
Above the dungeon, Sara could hear the roaring of a bloodthirsty crowd.
"No shit." Madeline commented next to her.
"Where's Jax?" Sara asked.
"Up there, fighting in the arena. Jian, Conner and Oasana are also fighting," Madeline replied. "I don't know where Billy and Lorina are."
"Damn it, we need to get out of here!" Sara snapped.
"You know the rules and so do I." Madeline shrugged.
At that moment, the door opened and a tall, armored guard stood there.
"It's your turn to fight." He said gruffly, drawing a large ax and cutting the chains. He roughly grabbed Sara by her hair and hauling her out the cage. He did the same thing to Madeline.
The gates opened and Sara closed her eyes from the harsh daylight.
"Get out!" the guard kicked her hard, sending her into the arena, the hot sand burning her skin.
Madeline fell to her knees and looked up. The roar of the crowd drowned out all sound but it's own.
"What do we do?" Sara asked, looking around. Dozens of warriors fought in great battles against each other.
Not just humans, Trolls, Goblins and even a giant boar all fought in the arena. High on the ramparts, a red-haired man stood with a young dark-haired woman next to him. She looked around the same age as Sara.
Jian was thrown to the ground and rolled up, deflecting a strike from a soldier with her sword.
Holding out her hand, she manipulated the air and hurled it at the warrior, cannoning him from his feet.
Billy threw a pair of knives which the Goblin deflected with a magical shield.
Monstrous tentacles protruded from Conner as he battled the giant Troll, firing bursts of dark magic.
"We need to fight," Madeline said. "Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise. Thou and thou in first for my heart. High King of Heaven, when battle is done, grant Heaven's joy to me!"
Sara looked at her and nodded. Standing up, she took off into a run towards the nearest enemy.
Jumping, she slammed her fist into his face, sending him down. As she hit the ground, she grabbed his fallen sword and rolled up.
Madeline reached and grabbed a pistol concealed within her jeans and fired, killing a green-skinned Goblin.
Oasana snarled as she punched a gladiator hard and he fell to the ground. She was covered in sweat and growled angrily.
Billy rolled to avoid a strike from the Goblin and threw his knife at it. Jian sliced another gladiator down with her sword and fired a burst of air and knocked another into the air.
Sara managed to avoid a blow from the Troll and sprinted past, leaping and kicking another in the chest with both feet.
Madeline moved like a blur, firing her pistol and gunning down gladiators left, right and center.
The red-haired man watched from the ramparts with an unreadable look on his face.
"Lord Krovis, what should we do?" the woman asked, playing with a knife.
"Wait, Quinlynn," Krovis said. "Let the Troll fight them. Should it fail…kill them."
"Understood." Quinlynn said, though she looked hesitant.
Down below, the troll roared and charged at Conner, who lashed out a tentacle and smacked it hard.
"It's good to be back!" Conner said, though it wasn't him who was speaking. The being talking sounded deeper and more guttural.
"Or'gomauth." Madeline whispered in horror.
"The Hell Demon?" Sara wondered.
"The one and only." Madeline grunted.
Jian blocked and sliced another down while Billy threw several knives in rapid succession.
All the while, the crowd roared loudly, cheering them on as they continued fighting.
Sara was sliced above her wrist and growled in pain. Grabbing the gladiator, she head-butted him hard, knocking him out.
"Time to mow the lawn!" she grinned through bloodied teeth.
Madeline shot down two more, while Billy stabbed a Goblin in the head with a knife. Hearing something, he turned as a knife grazed his face, drawing some blood.
He saw Quinlynn standing there, smirking.
"You too use knives." He realized.
"Let's see who's better." Quinlynn said.
Without warning, she drew a knife and smoothly flung it towards him, just as Billy threw his own knife.
Quinlynn's knife deflected Billy's and went past his face, grazing him again.
"Not bad." He admitted.
A loud horn blew, startling everyone nearby. Krovis jumped from the stands and landed in the middle of the arena, throwing up dust and sand.
He carried a flaming sword now, and was garbed in spiky black armor. A cloak billowed behind him. He gazed at everyone with a cruel smirk.
"I am Krovis! Champion of this arena, from Neotellus," he said. "Which one of you is the strongest?"
Jian head-butted a gladiator and turned to Krovis.
"I'll take you." She declared, running at him. Krovis twirled his flaming sword and charged to meet her.
Jian leapt and tried to slice but Krovis ducked to avoid. Jian slid and kicked the back of his leg, sending him forward.
Krovis stood up and went on the attack. Jian found herself being forced to block the increasingly dangerous attacks as she backed off.
Nearby, Billy and Quinlynn had drawn knives and were engaging in a close quarters fight, seeming evenly matched for now.
Jian thrust her blade forward but Krovis parried and did a spin, slamming his elbow into her face.
Jian staggered back. She barely avoided the flaming sword that would have killed her otherwise.
Krovis head-butted her hard and she dropped her sword.
"Finally, this will be a good fight. Haven't had one this good since Neotellus." Krovis smirked, stabbing his sword into the ground.
Jian wiped some blood from her nose and charged at Krovis, swinging. He deflected a strike and then some more.
Jian kept trying to punch but it was obvious Krovis was not really paying attention. She leapt and kicked him in the chest, staggering him slightly.
As she attacked again, Krovis gripped her arm and punched her hard in the ribs.
CRACK!
One of her ribs broke. Jian's eyes bulged in pain and she staggered. Not giving up on his assault, Krovis continued to punch her hard in the face.
Jian spat out blood and tried to attack. As she threw a punch, Krovis caught it and twisted her wrist upwards. Jian cried out in pain. Balling his fist, Krovis punched her hard, sending her sprawling to the ground.
Jian got back up, only to receive another punch to the face that sent her down. Nearby, Conner groaned in agony.
"LET ME OUT!" Or'gomauth roared as he tried breaking free from Conner.
"I won't…let you." Conner grunted, trying to resist.
"You don't have a choice," Or'gomauth muttered darkly. "The End Times are coming. I will fight it."
Conner fell to his knees as the shroud of darkness grew around him. Jian rammed into Krovis and punched him hard in the face.
Krovis responded by slugging her hard.
Oasana saw that and tried to speed towards them but a Troll rammed into her hard, sending her to the ground.
"The Circle will destroy Runeterra, little girl," Krovis grabbed and kneed her hard in the gut. "And you won't be around to see it."
Jian coughed up a lot of blood as she fell down, too weakened to keep going. Kicking up his sword, Krovis turned and threw it towards Sara.
She turned just as the blade impaled itself in her gut. Her eyes widened as she shakily turned to look at it.
Sara fell to her knees, unimaginable pain flooding her body.
"SARA!" she could faintly hear Madeline screaming her name, but was far too weakened to notice.
Sara pulled the giant sword out of her gut and fell down, the life beginning to leave her.
Conner rushed to her side, seeing the blood flowing from her gaping wound like a river.
"Hang on." He muttered, holding his hand above her wound. Dark magic poured into the wound, beginning to close the wound.
Sara groggily looked up as Conner gripped his head, roaring in agony. Everyone watched as he staggered back, screaming.
Sara's eyes widened in horror as his skin burst open. Conner looked towards the sky and let out an earth-shattering scream of pain as black veins on his face expanded and then burst outward.
Before anything else could happen, the skies darkened and thunder roared in the sky.
A swarm of darkness landed to reveal Kisufu standing there, a sadistic smirk on his face.
"The age of the Shadow King is about to begin." Kisufu declared.
And done!
So a new fandom enters this series and it's Legend of the Cryptids. Krovis is a character from that fandom and he's here on Runeterra.
And the next champion is here, the brilliant knife fighter, Quinlynn. She will be played by Hailee Steinfeld.
Hope all the fights were enjoyed as well as the Jian vs Krovis fight. He is seriously OP, which is why he was able to nearly kill Jian in this fight.
But now Kisufu is here and Or'gomauth is about to break free, which is not good at all.
I do plan for Legend of the Cryptids characters to appear throughout this series and there will be a League of Legends/Legend of the Cryptids crossover towards the end that will cross over with one other fandom in one of the most epic stories.
There is also an explanation as to why Neotellus is crossing over into Runeterra and that will be revealed soon.
Next chapter will be some big battles and surprise cameos.
Hope everyone enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
