Wow. Really, I'm sorry. A couple of months back I ran into some major issues with school. I turned my focus more to that. I kept seeing in my emails reviews being written about this story. They're really encouraging, and I want to thank everybody.
What's even more surprising, this story, even now still gets views. It makes me believe I've actually written something nice here. Now that highschool is over with for good, I can now put more time and effort into this story. I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting so long, but I'm back again. I won't leave abruptly anymore, if there's to be a delay in publishing, I'll let you guys know beforehand.

Enough of that, let's continue the battle between Skyler and Kennen! Enjoy~

As I continued towards my tower I heard the faint noise of metal hitting rock. It was Skyler at my tower. I really hate it when anybody touches my tower.
It's a little known fact that I can do more than just play with electricity and toss shurikens around, I'm very skilled with a blade, too. And, another little known fact, I always carry two on me, strapped to my back sometimes concealed below my ninja garb.
I stayed hidden as I quickly crept closer to Skyler. By the time I was in striking distance, he had only gotten a few hits on the tower, while taking a few himself. Just as he decided to back off, I set off my attack. I charged at him at my full speed, being next to him nearly instantly.

"Going somewhere?" I snickered as I drew one of my daggers.

"Yes." He said, as he prepared to teleport away.

I quickly grabbed his shirt right before he poofed away, bringing me along with him, but, this time it was different.
We didn't enter that area between worlds as before, instead I seemed to be thrown towards Skyler's new location in the middle of the lane. I landed on my back, flipping to recover, with good timing, because as I did Skyler's sword impaled the ground behind me.
Skyler landed shortly after it and leaned forward on it.

"You can't win, " He said to me. "I'm better at what I do then you'd think."

"Then prove it to me!" I said as I quickly dashed towards him with my blade. He quickly parried my attack, but I quickly drew my other blade and thrust it through him. He grunted, and dropped his sword.
"Come on, you're the swordsman here aren't you?" I said

He simply smiled at me, and suddenly turned into a pile of cloth!

What?!

All of a sudden I felt a great force collide with the back of my head. Before I knew what happened, I was face down in the dirt. Now he's pissed me off. I charged myself up and whipped around with a shuriken, only to find it sailing through smoke. I looked to my side to see Skyler dashing at me with his sword. I dashed between his legs and caught him on the thigh with my sword, applying a shock to it to slightly disable him. Skyler seems to have a high tolerance for being shocked, he spun around again with speed that I undoubtedly couldn't match and caught me on the side of the face with his sword.

I retaliated with another shuriken, this one caught him in the chest. He stumbled more than the last time, nearly losing his balance. He caught himself with his sword. I charged up yet another shuriken and hurled it at his head this time. To my surprise, Skyler blocked it! He moved so fast that I couldn't even see him! Then, out of nowhere he was gone in smoke again.

"See yah!" I heard him cockily say behind me.
As I started to turn around I caught a glimpse of an arcane spell floating directly behind me. Skyler thrust forward with his palm and I was sent flying in the opposite direction. As I tumbled down the middle of the lane, moving too fast to recover myself, I caught a glimpse of him dash in front of me. He knocked me to the side of him with his sword, leaving a wide cut along my chest.

Suddenly, I noticed I was about to fall! I quickly stammered to grab anything I could, but it was no use, I was about to fall off the summoner's platform. All I could think about was what that council member said to me;

"..please take care not to fall off of the platform, as the magical energy below may interfere with the reincarnation process."

I'm quite worried. I'd never actually fallen off this platform before, as during normal matches there is a magical barrier that prevents the champions from leaving it.. I looked down into a howling abyss of magic, lashing out towards me.

"You have been slain!"
Just as the first wisp of arcane magic lashes against my chest, I hear the voice of that female announcer echoing throughout my head. I am caught by an unknown force as my very lifeform is carried from my body. I'm in that white void again, with a kind of transparent overview of the entire area. I look at myself in my ghastly form, and notice that the area that was touched by the forces below the proving grounds was totally missing!
This was very disturbing. When you're inside of the abyss, so it's called, you are not in your physical body. You're basically moving around as your lifeforce. Normally, when you arrive here, you're completely devoid of any injuries you may have suffered. However, this one was clearly visible.

After a moment, I noticed my chest start to glow brighter, and a very white light shone from above me. It begins to heal the wound. I assume that this was the council doing this, but it may have to do with the institute's life support systems.

I respawn again at the summoner's pool. Now I'm angry. I believe that I have a general idea of what Skyler is capable of, so I'll need to adjust my strategy to compensate. I head out, dashing past my nexus and inhibitor. I find Skyler slashing at the tower, leaving harsh breaks in its stone. He vanishes as soon as he sees me. I glance at the tower, looking like it was ready to collapse any moment now.

I decide that I should pull out my trump card. As far as I can tell, Skyler has already shown me all of his tricks. So, maybe I should give him a little taste of mine. This isn't the technique most people are familiar with. Slicing Maelstrom is a version of this technique with heavy regulations. However, this time I can go all out. I hope Skyler's ready for this.

I calmly walk out to the middle of the lane and sit, entering a medatative trance. I allow myself to be fully engulfed by this trance, and then deploy an ancient technique known as ken. While using ken, I can tell whenever somebody or something enters my general area; in this case, within 15 feet. Training this technique consisted of sitting under an oak tree in fall, and counting the leaves as they fell.

I sit, waiting for him to try to attack me. However, at the same time, I begin to gather as much energy as I possibly can. An aura begins to form around me, and electricity begins to ark off of my clothing, into the ground nearby me.

I notice movement. He is in the brush to my left.

He sits still for a few moments, waiting to see what my next move will be. Eventually, his assertive nature kicks in and he dashes at me. I do not consciously notice him in the least bit. Until..

He crosses the thin line between 15 ½ feet from me, and 15 feet. A huge lightning bolt flies down and hits me, I channel all of the energy from it to enable me to move at impossibly fast speeds. In 1/25th of a second, I impale him with 32 shurikens, one after the other, before appearing behind him with my dagger drawn. I thrust it into his back and release all of the stored energy that I had gathered. He is completely unable to move, and wildly spasming from the electricity. I remove the dagger from his back, and he falls to his knees.

"a..Hhh..h... Damn..." He says, before collapsing lifeless onto his stomach, pushing the shurikens through his body.
Sparks ark off of the shurikens and Skyler. His body can be seen twitching on the ground.

"You have slain an enemy!"

"Hmph. Not even 10% of what I can really put out, yet you're dead in less than a second? How disappointing.." I say, before dashing over to his tower.

It takes me barely a second to reach his tower. It looked pristine, not having been touched since the beginning of the match. I decided to show Skyler some real power. I take out a shuriken, and charge it up with the residual energy from my previous attack. I launch it at the center of the tower. The shuriken penetrates to the center of the tower, where it stops, before causing the tower to slightly implode, thus causing a massive explosion, instantly destroying a tower.

"Your team has destroyed a turret!"

I can see Skyler standing in the background in awe, his face reminiscent to the popular emoji 'O_o'

"What is it, Skyler? You look surprised." I say, crossing my arms.

"Daahhh, what...? Oh uh, yeah uhh.. How did you.."

"Oh so you can't do that? Well.." I interrupt him.

"WHAT?! I really hope you're joking, Kenny.." He says, his cocky nature returning to him.
"..You haven't come near to seeing my true strength!"

"Hah, well come show me then!" I say, spinning a shuriken around my finger.

He doesn't know yet, but he really doesn't stand a chance.

Well that got intense. Yes, this was short, but I'll have the next part ready tomorrow! Stay tuned!
