What up guys, sorry I took longer than I expected to post this, the jet lag really had a tight grip on me.
Shen was going over some paperwork in the infirmary late at night, and right when he least expected it, there was a knock at the infirmary door,
"Come in." He said, only to be greeted by none other than Xayah and Rakan, two champs he rarely ever interacted with,
"I wanted to wait until morning, but Rakan insisted I see you tonight." Xayah said,
"What ails you at the moment?" Shen asked,
"It's not so much physically as it is mentally." Xayah replied,
"I'm sure you've heard of Ahri, one of the most popular champions here." Rakan said,
"What about her?" Shen asked,
"Well...she's dating a summoner apparently." Rakan said,
"Gold amber eyes, primarily wears black, silver hair reaching the back of his waistline." Xayah described Asiv,
"Asiv? I assure you there is nothing going on between him and the fox." Shen said,
"I wouldn't put my money where my mouth is if I were you, we saw them in town earlier today." Xayah replied, polishing one of her feather-like blades,
"Yeah, holding hands, laughing with each other, the whole nine yards." Rakan said,
"I will look into this, knowing this as well as how much time they have spent together lately gives me a bad feeling." Shen said,
Xayah and Rakan then took their leave,
"Seriously, not sure what's so wrong here about Ahri being with a human, I mean, it's not like it's hurting anyone." Rakan said,
"It's the principle of it all, have you EVER heard of a Vastayan and a Human co-existing in such a way?" Xayah said with a hint of disgust,
"No, but there's a first time for everything." Rakan replied,
"Honestly, you are impossible sometimes." Xayah groaned in frustration,
"You're sexy when you get mad~" Rakan teased, as they entered their room,
"D-Don't think sweet talking me is gonna win you this." Xayah said, before Rakan started massaging her shoulders,
"Relax sweetheart, you're getting really worked up." Rakan said,
Xayah groaned, knowing Rakan was winning this dispute,
"F-Fine...I'll let it go for toniiiight~" Xayah said as Rakan massaged her shoulders right where she liked it best,
Meanwhile, Asiv was in his and Ahri's room watching a romantic comedy with Ahri, well Ahri WAS watching it before she fell asleep on Asiv's lap,
He turned off the hextech television and carried Ahri over to their bed, then laid her down gently and held her close,
"I love you, beautiful." Asiv said, before kissing her forehead which she nuzzled under his chin in response as she slept,
Asiv knew Syndra was using her orbs again to "spy" on them, he looked in its general direction just before it disappeared,
Syndra sighed as she sat in the tub, watching her orbs of dark matter float in a figure right around her knees,
"Can I really let Asiv and Ahri suffer?" Syndra asked herself,
"What makes you think you don't want to let them suffer? What have they ever done for you?!" She mentally argued with herself,
"It's thanks to Asiv I'm with Zed now, so why not help as thanks?" Syndra said,
"You're going soft! The world has been cruel! The moment you drop those walls you set, the world will overrun you once more!"
Syndra didn't know what happened to her, she was going soft, what was it about Asiv and Ahri's predicament that swirled her emotions into a Baron Nashor sized mess?
Before these two, she never gave a rats ass about anyone but herself,
"What's happening to me? I've never cared for anything that didn't involve me." Syndra said,
She continued arguing with herself for a large portion of the night,
The next morning, Asiv woke up to the sound of knocking at the door,
He got up and walked over to open it, to see Shen there,
"Shen? What are you doing here this early?" Asiv asked with a yawn, it was 5:37 AM,
"I know your association with Ahri." Shen said,
"You're rather slow then, I've been monitoring her condition." Asiv said,
"I know you two are lovers now, I find it a bit suspicious that two individuals who couldn't stand one another are suddenly lovers as if nothing happened." Shen said,
"And how long did it take you to find that out? Do I need to drag out the slowpoke meme?" Asiv asked,
"I request to see Ahri in the next few days to examine her myself, as I wish to analyze this 'arcane over exposure' more." Shen said,
Asiv's blood turned to ice, he knew if he said "no", Shen would find this suspicious in seconds, however Shen already knew it was a false ailment and knew his suspicions of Akali were confirmed, she WAS hiding something from him, but Asiv didn't know Shen was aware it was a ruse,
"Sure, I guess." Asiv replied, trying to conceal how nervous he was,
"Alright, I shall take my leave then." Shen said before walking away,
Asiv closed the door and leaned back against it, sighing as he knew this ruse won't last much longer and Shen will end this the moment he figured out,
"Asiv? Is everything okay?" Ahri asked, walking out from the bedroom,
"No, Shen is catching on and wants to check-up on you HIMSELF." Asiv said,
Ahri immediately felt her blood turn icy as well, and thought exactly what Asiv was thinking,
"Asiv, we can't hide this any longer, but I have an idea." Ahri said, once she told Asiv her idea, Asiv contacted the council, explained Ahri's plan and the council agreed to it,
Later that day, all the champions gathered in the meeting hall, but were surprised to see Ahri and Asiv walk up to the podium instead of a council member,
"Everyone, we have an important announcement to make." Asiv said, suddenly everyone in the hall went silent as to listen,
"So as most of you know, me and Asiv were not the best of friends almost a month ago." Ahri said,
"Yeah! Everyone knew that!" Rumble shouted from the back row,
"Well, me and Ahri ended up teaming up to reach a common goal shortly after our counseling with Ryze, and after a series of...unpredictable events, we became lovers, however, that's not the announcement, the announcement is..." Asiv motioned for Ahri to speak,
"...I'm pregnant." She said,
Everyone in the crowd started to murmur amongst themselves,
"But due to Ionian law, Ahri is supposed to have it forcefully aborted...by them!" Asiv said, pointing towards Akali, Shen and Kennen, who didn't even flinch,
Everyone in the hall was now in an uproar, even Noxus and Zaun champions,
"Infant murderers!"
"Heartless savages!"
"What cowards! Picking on the defenseless!"
"By the laws of Ionia, we must abort it since you have confirmed it." Shen said, standing up,
"Not so fast! Due to my rank I'm able to declare it as a matter for the league to deal with, meaning, we have a say in it!" Asiv said, showing Shen the paperwork the council signed,
"Very well, but you need champions to support you." Shen said,
"I'm with them." Akali said,
"What? You defy the Kinkou? Are you aware of the punishment that may follow?" Kennen asked,
"Yes, but I don't care, they're my friends, and I'll stick by them." Akali said, getting up on the stage,
"I am with summoner Asiv and Ahri as well." Yorick said, walking on to the stage next to them,
"So am I." Ashe said,
"Don't forget me!" Ivern said, joining them,
Sona played a few chords, with words appearing above her, saying,
"I wish to help as well."
Suddenly, Syndra burst into the hall and as she walked, Skarner, and Poppy got up and followed her down the central isle,
"I am with them, after a long debate with myself, I chose to aid them." Syndra said,
"But we already have five champs, Syndra." Asiv said,
"True, but these matters are best two out of three matches." Syndra said,
"Does anyone else wish to help?" Syndra asked,
"Draven will! Draven needs more fans!" Draven said before walking up on to the stage,
"I shall aid you as well, justice shall be served by my hand." Kayle said, Asiv knew the Judicator was big on justice, and considered terrible things being done to children as heresy,
"Very well." Shen said, scowling at Akali for "Betraying" the Kinkou,
"We shall assemble our teams as well." Shen said,
After he did so, the lineups were the following,
Kinkou side:
Kinkou Primary: Shen, Kennen, Xayah, Rakan, Lee Sin
Kinkou Secondary: Veigar, Morgana, Jinx, Nocturne, Renekton
Asiv's side:
Asiv's primary: Ivern, Akali, Sona, Ashe, Yorick.
Asiv's Secondary: Kayle, Draven, Syndra, Poppy, Skarner
Asiv knew this was going to be difficult, but he believed in the champs who wished to aid him,
"However! In addition to aborting the child if we win, Akali will also be removed from the Kinkou, active upon our victory." Shen said,
"Very well, I accept." Akali said,
The champions who joined the Kinkou's side (Secondary) were more than likely just there to try and make Asiv and Ahri suffer.
A short time later, the summoners gathered, Asiv was among the summoners who were to be involved with the matches, and chose to summon Yorick, Asiv felt a drop of sweat roll down his cheek, it was clear he was nervous,
"This is it, the moment of truth." Asiv thought as the countdown reached zero.

To be continued, hey guys, hope you're ready for the final climax here, Asiv's ragtag team, vs the Kinkou, now keep in mind, I'm not one of those people who always go the "happily ever after" route, so keep in mind, I MIGHT make this a tragic ending.
