Chapter 4: This Light is Bright for Night
Kassadin couldn't understand how he got to this point in his life. Well he knew how he got here, in his lab on the northern edge of Bandle city. He didn't, however, know how he managed to entangle the being who nearly destroyed his last link to the mortal world, and NOT kill him. Even now as the so called Prophet of the Void rest on his bed, Kassadin has to resist the urge to drain the life out of those all seeing eyes once and for all. He doesn't even need to reason with himself anymore. Not only does he need Malzahar to find his daughter. Kassadin needs him, here, to keep him grounded and sane.
He thought a career in archeological research would keep him and his family safe from the constant fear of war and other worldly beings that seem to invade the land whenever the last one fails. Kassadin knew that Zaun wasn't the ideal place to house him, his wife, and his new baby girl. The district they lived in wasn't riddle with crime and it relatively close to the lab he had found work at. An almost picture perfect life was starting to be built around him. Kassadin was only happy to have what he did.
So happy in fact, that Kassadin took on more work at the lab. Studying artifacts from sunrise to sunset. This gave him just enough time to eat dinner with his family and earned the exclusive right of night shift for the baby. Sure he had to get up early for work, but he thought it was only fair to his wife that he give her some sort of respite with the child.
His happiness is what led him to what he is today. Studying the rare artifacts from Icathia, he became engrossed with the idea of finding this lost city, getting himself and his family out of Zaun, and dying old, rich, and happy with his family. His lust for happiness brought him to ask his boss about an expedition into the Shuriman desert. His greed to find happiness led him to find the exact opposite. As he gazed upon his "happiness," those purely evil spires of Icathia past the edge of the void he stood on, there was nothing Kassadin could do as he was pulled in.
That's all his memory could allow of his past life. Kassadin kept his sanity but in place of his memory, a burning hatred for the void remained. After what only seemed like hours for the mere mortal, he was spat out into the sands of a reviving Shurima. A soldier under the rule of the once and now emperor, Azir, found Kassadin in dazed and frightened state. The emperor and his guardians heard his words and directed him to the one place he might seek revenge. The League of Legends.
Apparently surviving was an accomplishment in itself. That seems to be all that the summoners cared about when Kassadin came to the Institute of War. He didn't care what he had to do to entertain the League and its summoners. He got the funding for the research equipment he need to close the void. After persuading local yordles, he purchased property directly south of where Icathia laid. The Sablestone mountains weren't the most hospitable place in Valoran, but that just meant little to no worry of intruders into his lab. He was ready to find a cure for the disease that was the Void. Kassadin did find a cure, not for the Void, but for its "prophet."
Kassadin sat up deciding not to further waste the little time he had before his trip to the institute on reminiscing. He enjoyed coffee, the fresh stuff, not that manufactured crap from Piltover. Once a month, Kassadin traveled along the mountain range southwest towards the Plague Jungles. A small yordle village rests on the edge of the jungle outside the protective barrier of Sablestone. They're well known for their ability to harvest coffee beans from the deadly jungle and have enough to sell to travelers or tourists. Two large sacks are set aside for Kassadin each month. Not because he pays more but because of his assistance to the village when he came there to study strange occurrences in the area. The village was coming under attack each night by a hostile tribe of primates similar to the champion, Wukong. Kassadin vowed to uphold justice across all Runeterra and this town was no exception. He took the longest trai-
"Fuck!" Kassadin shouts as the coffee burns his blue skin.
"Goddamnit how many times are going to do that before you learn that the coffee goes in the cup." Malzahar groaned rising from the bed behind him.
"Maybe if I wasn't the first one to wake up all the time. But then who get you any, huh?" Kassadin retorted, getting ice to cool his would.
"I can see a lot of shit happening in our future. Getting my own coffee? Not happening, Kass. Now In my future, I can see a coffee being put in my hand." Malzahar closed his eyes and put one hand on his temple with the other extended in a cup shaped grip.
"You sure it's not in your dreams, seer?" Kassadin was already at the coffee machine again making another round for him and his... What? What was Malzahar to him? An experiment? An associate? A friend? The man sentenced his daughter to certain death and yet he only thought fondly of the prophet.
"You're lucky I have to be somewhere today. Here." Kassadin handed the man his coffee only for Malzahar to be /surprised.
"Amazing! It's like I can see the future!" This made Kassadin chuckle. "If only I hadn't recovered the /humor part of your personality." "Aw c'mon Kassy, you know you love me." Malzahar grinned slyly. "So where you off to this time? Shurima? Piltover?"
"Institute of War as usual." Kassadin replied.
"What a surprise. What do they want from you now? Your heart and soul?" Malzahar argued. "They'll have to bid pretty high if they want to win that from me."
"Ha. We shall see about that." Kassadin said stepping into his equipping chamber. All the gear he need to live and fight on the Fields of Justice had to be equipped by a special machine. Even his "dress" as Malzahar called it,had a purpose. Once done transforming from a blue guy with a mask to the Void Walker, Kassadin, he said his goodbyes to his companion.
"Not quite a knight in shining armor, but you'll do." Malzahar said as Kassadin passed him to the teleport scroll on a desk.
"A knight in shining armor is a knight who hasn't had their metal tested." He said as the scroll shone, teleporting him to the limbo of that is the teleportation scroll.
'Never as torturous.' They thought as both men sat alone in their own little world.
The accelerator was practically merged with the floor of the car when Vi made a daredevil turn through oncoming traffic. Never managing to to get a scratch on her pride and joy, she whizzed by headlight after headlight, driving as if Hell itself would catch her if she slowed even a hair. Riven couldn't tell if the cars were more a threat then her current driver was. She was sure if Vi were to let go of the steering wheel the metal would be bent from her grip.
"How the hell is she moving so fast?!" Vi shouted over the roar of the hextech engine. "A head start on those scrawny ass legs can't get her far. Cait, what's the deal?"
She looked at her partner who was gripping for dear life on anything solid. The tracking device was clenched tightly in her grasp but had no one to read it as its current owners eyes were glue straight ahead. Another large truck past the team as they continued their crusade down the main street of upper Piltover.
"Vi please! Could you at least get on the right side of the road!" Caitlyn practically screamed to her partner.
"Sure thing sheriff! Just as soon as I get direction to where the little brat is heade-" Vi was cut off by an explosion to the right of them.
'This maniac is crazy, insane even, but this? How did this kid even survive until now?' Riven could not believe what she saw. The blue haired psycho was riding an enormous rocket! As if that wasn't enough, she had her rocket launcher, Fishbones, mounted on her shoulder, shooting off explosive rounds into the night sky. All the sounds that pierced the sky were nothing compared to the hysterical laughter coming from the girl as she passed above the car.
In a complete stupor, the entire backseat of the car watched as the rocket propelled girl came to a steady speed in front of them. As if feeling the stares she was receiving, Jinx stood up atop her noble steed and faced her pursuers.
"I knew I had fans but Fat-Hands? C'mon you're flattering me!" Jinx shouted to the police officers and fellow champions facing her.
"I Swear I'm going to punch the shit out of you for this!" Vi screamed to the felon. Looking back for just an instant, she addressed the white haired woman in the middle backseat. "Riven I have an idea. Are you good with heights?"
"I can't say I'm bad with them but what does-" "Good enough. Unbuckle and switch with who ever's behind me." Vi order the Exile. After a tight exchange with Lux, she got behind the enforcer ready for what ever she needed. She was good at taking orders. Even if they were Fucking ridiculous.
"Our talks are always so boring! Let's spice things up a bit!" Jinx excitedly said while aiming Fishbones towards the road. "Bye, bye!"
The first rocket hit to the right of the car creating a crater just about the same size as the vehicle it missed.
"Shit! One of those and five champions are wiped from the league!" Lux said as she recovered from the close call. "I hope this plan of yours works Vi!" Another rocket and another miss. "And fast!"
"I can keep this up all day losers!" A rocket flies out of Jinx's possession as she shouts the weak insult. Vi skillfully dodges the rocket while looking towards the other side of the road.
"Alright Riven! You ready for something really dumb!?" Vi looked behind her to the crouching Noxian who only nodded in approval. "Hold on tight bitches!"
The accelerator pushed past its limit as Vi sped towards the other side of the rode, narrowly dodging a rocket in the process. As she straightened out into the lane, it only now became apparent to Caitlyn, Lux, and Katarina what her "plan" was.
"Vi what're you doing!?" The three shouted in unison as the bullet of a car caught up to its target. An empty car transport truck with its flaps down was just waiting for someone to do what could only be done in movies. Vi was grinning more than her face could allow as the car hit the makeshift ramp and caught air. As they flew into the air, time seemed to slow down for Riven. 'So this is what flying feels like.' She thought. 'I don't think I want to be free like a bird anymore.'
As the car reached the peak of its jump, Vi flicked a switch on the dash and instead of a sensation of falling, the occupants were filled with a sense of weightlessness. This only lasted for a brief moment before they where propelled forward.
"What is happening?!"Lux shouted. "Can this thing fly?!"
Curious with this development, Riven leaned over the edge of the car. The wheels of the car had folded inward an emanated a bright green glow from underneath. Before she could investigate further, Vi barked "Get ready to jump her, ya hear?"
She didn't realize until now how close they were to the culprit in the air. Jinx was arming another rocket as she spew more insults to the champions.
"Nice try Fat-Hands! But I rule these skies!" Fishbones now loaded she aimed at the parallel vehicle. "5-O no mo! See ya!"
"Now Riven! Jump!" Vi order. The order went ignored, however, as the Exile had already leapt off the car to tackle the soon to be prisoner.
'Man this was stupid' Riven thought as she collided with Jinx. The rocket destined to end her fired off towards the moon as the two descended to the ground. In the brief moment of revision she had, Riven's only thought wasn't towards her loves or her future, it was more like,
'What the hell does this kid eat? Its like sticks duct taped together. No not even, its like-' Her thoughts were brought to a mental halt as she and her captive hit something hard... And didn't explode into red mist?
"Muscle sure is heavier than than fat! Now if you two are done with your hug fest get off!" Katarina growled under the duo.
"Riven! Don't ever do something so dumb again!" Lux cried as she hugged her girlfriend.
"Oh no! I'm caught in a pile of lesbians! What ever shall I do?" Jinx sarcastically added to mix.
"That rocket better not be dangerous, convict." Vi said to the still restrained Jinx. "Na you know me, all bark and no bite." "Another firework I presume?" Caitlyn inquired while passing a pair of hand cuffs to anyone who could use them. Lux grabbed the cuffs from the officer and arrested the pinned Jinx.
"You're under arrest! You have the right to remain silence!" Lux said excitedly. "He he! Besides all the explosions, being a cop is fun!"
"Yeah yeah sure is fun sugar tits. So fill me in on this little orgy you had planned here." Jinx answered.
"Aren't you the little pervert, eh?" Katarina asked. "Ya got a bit of sexual frustration built up after trying to blow us to smithereens, huh? Or is that your release?"
"I like her, she's got me all figured out. Not even a shrink could finger me like you did." Jinx said, fond of the way the conversation was heading. "Maybe I'll return the favor and finger you one day cutie."
"In your dreams, brat." Vi and Riven said simultaneously.
As the car hit the pavement with a sudden *thud*, the two women grabbed the criminal by her poor excuse for arms and yanked her out of the car. As everyone piled out of the vehicle, they were greeted by a stylish wood panel and gold trim car. The owner stepping out to investigate his illusive charge.
"Great, I always knew you two could get the job done." Jayce said smugly. "You really are Piltover's finest. I assure you this time Jinx will be personally lead to her cell. She won't escape my sights again."
"To think we really didn't even need the tracker! Thanks Jayce!" Lux said as she tossed the device to the scientist.
"Wow you told them already?" Jinx said to him as he caught the tracker. "To think you wanted to be the one to finally catch me. After so many nights togeth-" Jayce covered her mouth and quickly added. "Of course yeah sure! Well I have to drop off this prisoner! Goodby-" it was Jayces turn to be cut off.
"Wait what was that? Jinx what did you just say?" Caitlyn asked. "She's not under your custody until I give the go ahead, understand?"
"Of course no harm done! It's just getting late and- FUCK!" Jayce yelped as Jinx chomped down on his hand.
"Now then if I might speak without being manhandled,I'd like to say a few words about our Defender of Tomorrow." Jinx proudly said as if denouncing a criminal herself. "Besides I always preferred to be ladyhandled." She looked slyly at the five girls who were all tired of her by this point.
"Jinx, why do you always have to be so difficult!" Jayce said to the blue haired psycho. "I said silence, peon!" Jinx spat back. "Now where to begin. Ah yes how about when Jayce broke me out of jail to fulfill is evil twisted plans!"
The group was silent. Caitlyn and Vi had no trouble avoiding obvious lie while the trio of girlfriends were blown away.
"I always knew you were an evil bastard!" Lux said pointing at him like he was a monster. "Lock him up, too, officers!"
"Lux just please calm down." Caitlyn said diffusing the tension of the situation. Jinx only started to laugh at this. "Oh man you actually thought-! Ha ha!" She was on the ground now kicking as she laughed. "That wasn't even the punchline and already you-! Ha ha! Oh boy you city states crack me up."
"Enough. What's this really about, Jinx?" Vi barked at the girl, fist clenched and ready for anything. "Well basically, Jayce 'n' I had an agreement. I do as I please, and then when you two loser show up, I hightail it out of there while miraculously being captured by this nerd. He gets fame and I get my treatment."
"Wait treatment?" Riven asked confused about this whole mess. "You don't mean like-?"
"No of course not!" Jayce answered, still nursing his bleeding hand. "I mean, I'm trying to help her with-"
"Jayce, if it is that kind of treatment you might want to stop now." Vi said. "Trust us, it doesn't work to treat any of her illnesses."
"Wait so I'm confused. What's happening?" Lux looked around for some answers.
"First off, nice to meet you confused." Everyone groaned at Jinx's joke. "Second, yes it's true, I'm the master seducer of Piltover. Bedding both heroes and cops for my own pleasure. Convincing them that it's the only way to cure me."
"I still can't believe it didn't work." Caitlyn said receiving a gasp from Vi. "Oh you know I'm joking Vi. Still, I wasn't the one crying when she-"
"ALRIGHT!" Jayce shouted. Everyone looked at the man with an equal amount of boredom. "This has gone on to long. How about this, I keep her under my own surveillance at my manor. I've sworn to be able to fix anything," He looked at Jinx with a light hearted smile. "even something that isn't broken."
"Aw, JJ is reunited once again!" Jinx exclaimed hugging her protector as best she could with handcuffs.
"Of course we will have to send officers to make sure that this criminal won't be taking a stroll out of your home." Caitlyn said to Jayce.
"Man how long winded is this gonna be?" Katarina interjected. " what're you gonna do next talk about you family history or something? C'mon we got a date to finish!"
Before they could continue, the long forgotten rocket that Jinx once rode, exploded into a bright plume of color in the sky. The champions looked on in states ranging from amazement to boredom. Riven grabbed both her girlfriends by the shoulders and pulled them close. As they looked at her in confusion, they saw a spark of wonderment in the Exile's eye. The crimson and golden haired girls looked at each other before sighing and snuggling up to their white haired lover.
After saying their good byes, the two groups split off. One heading towards the police station and the other towards the upper district of Piltover. As the group of women glided down the streets, Katarina spoke to either officer.
"Is that really ok to just leave her with him? I mean she did try and blow us to pieces not ten minutes ago."
Caitlyn was the one to answer with, "They had some sort of connection, so it should be safe to leave them together, at least for tonight. Jayce was right it is getting late."
"Plus we never got anything to eat!" Vi added in her own way. "I don't know about you guys but I'm starving!"
"Vi, at this hour not to many places are going to be open. How about we head to our place and feed our guest." Caitlyn said, bringing a slight blush to her partners face. "Yeah sure. Ok let's see if I remember how to get there." Vi responded.
Vi didn't falter as she redirected her course to their new destination. Close enough to the police station, She pulled the car into the parking garage of a fairly swanky apartment building. After disengaging the engine, the posse piled out of the vehicle and followed Caitlyn to an indoor area. Before reaching the elevators, however, Riven pulled Vi away from the rest of the group.
"You all head up. I want to talk with Vi for a bit." Riven said, receiving shrugs and nods from the remaining three women. Once the elevator was away, Vi looked at Riven with crossed arms.
"Alright, what's on your mind, Riv?" Vi asked the white haired women.
"What was up with you in the car? You got all nervous when the sheriff said to bring us here." Riven asked the enforcer.
"Well yeah, that's cuz she said this was our place. This is just her place that I come to from time to time." Vi answered. "Calling it our place just... surprised me is all."
"I understand. It was the same for me and Kat back in Noxus." Riven responded. "Now, what about what happened with Jinx? It sounded like you three had something-"
"Ok yea we all fucked." Vi interrupted. "We thought that if we forced her to work with us she might turn out like me, ya know all reformed 'n shit."
She sighed, rubbing her temple as she continued her explanation. "Basically, she got in our bed before she got in our good books. Mistakes were overlooked when she showed us how sorry she was. Egh I feel gross even talking about it."
"How did you manage to get Caitlyn agree to that?" Riven inquired.
Vi growled a bit before responding. "She was all for the 'bonding experience' as she called it. As long as that brat didn't touch my girlfriend, I didn't care if she shoved her whole fist up my-" A round of coughing interrupted her as two other residents entered the elevator waiting room.
"We should get going. I hope I set things straight." Vi said to her conversation partner. "Yeah I got it. Hopefully when we get there the sheriff doesn't have my girls cuffed to the bed." Riven said, stifling a laugh as the couple looked at them with nervous glances.
Vi and Riven stepped into the first elevator while the other residents stayed behind for some reason. As she pressed the designated floor on the elevator panel, Vi turned to her friend.
"You know Caits got a big spare bedroom. I'm sure I speak for both of us when I say we don't mind if you three had some fun." Riven's eyes widen at the prospect.
"Vi are you sure? I mean that seems awfully rude after what's happened today." Riven said sarcastically.
"Ha ha. Well think about it over dinner." Vi said. "Looks like we're here."
As the elevator came to a halt, a panel slide down to reveal a keyhole. Vi pulled a wallet chained to a key ring with two keys on it.
'Her car and her girl.' Riven thought. 'The keys to her heart I suppose.'
When Vi stuck the key in, the elevator doors slowly opened to reveal a short hallway leading up to an intricately designed wooden door. She lead Riven up to the door, gripping the knob before turning to face the Exile.
"You ready for this?" Vi said, receiving a nod from her friend. "After you."
"We have to go back!" Jinx shouted, halfway out the window of the car. "Fishbones! We gotta save him!"
Jayce only face palmed as he reviewed what he at one point thought was a good idea.
"The things I do for fame and fortune." He grumbled, spinning the steering wheel until the duo was headed in the opposite direction of the manor.
"Don't worry Fishbones!" Jinx hollered with her entire upper body out the window. "Momma's comin to getcha!"
