Chapter 13
The Northern Kingdom has now started its first steps into an allied nation. The mountains of Frel Jord has united it's champions under a single banner, claiming most territory under the 'The Silver Wolf'. Ashe has established a counsel that decides the course of action. Word of this alliance quickly spread vast over the lands, causing havoc in many cities, even riots in some. Back in the sewers of Zaun, Udyr and Ezreal were trapped in the menace of Singed and Twitch. Discovering that Singed obtained and planned to use the Summoners Orb, Udyr now faced a new threat to deal with. Ezreal already working his way, created a lock pick out of bones surrounding the cage. Ezreal reached out to unlock the lock binding the cage door, but a sudden force made the lock pick fall. It wasn't too far, so he could reach out with one hand. His hand was nearly at the key when at the same time a push knocked his hand to the ground, pinning it with a dangling force. A foot appeared out of blue, it was Twitch who was concealed in darkness. That is one of twitched abilities, to vanish in to darkness; being invisible to the naked eye.
"You don't think we would let you two unguarded did you, hehe" Twitch said. Ezreal lost all hope at this moment, he underestimated his opponents. He remembers his fight with Twitch at the fields of Justice, he barely made it out alive that day. The field of Justice, a gladiatorial game'; served as entertainment to the summoners or to settle disputes. All at the expense of the champions of course, who were enslaved, manipulated, and used. "Are you really going to use the same power that enslaved us all." Ezreal asked dramatically. Twitch couldn't respond to that, his face filled with envy he grabbed the lock pick and threw it away. "Hush! Singed and I have prepared a very special surprise for the both of you, hehe" Twitch replied.
Cloaking himself once again, Twitch disappeared in the darkness. Ezreal falling on his behind quickly began sobbing in his own tears. Udyr who was silently watching couldn't react either, he knew no way out of this situation. Ezreals sobbing was distracting Udyr's attention beyond his own believe "Quite Ezreal, We'll be fine." Udyr said. In his hopes to comfort Ezreal, he instead found a terrified man. Udyr himself lost most hopes, this cage was designed by Singed; one of the most brilliant minds in Runeterra. The door opened slowly, Singed walked in with the Orb still strapped firmly in his hand. His gaze turned to Twitch who was following behind him "They have arrived" Twitch said. Singed started breathing faster "The moment has finally appeared, let us conduct the experiment". Behind twitch another man appeared, hooded and carrying a man over his shoulder.
"Place him with Udyr, his time is up" Singed said. Coming closer to the cage, Udyr backed a few steps; creating space. He would not risk his own life at this instance, there is still much that has to be solved. The hooded man opened the cage door, placing the unconscious man inside. Twitch started laughing as he made his way back behind, Singed followed. The hooded man locked the cage door, rattling the bars as he made his way. Udyr trembled, he wasn't quickly scared; but this seemed like a dangerous situation. Ezreal laughed, at all the times; he found this rather amusing "The might Udyr, Trembling on his feet. I never thought I would see this day come" Ezreal said. Udyr paid no attention to this remark and quickly examined the man they placed besides him. He seemed rather hurt, and in that instance Udyr froze completely. Bursting into laughs again, Ezreal fell on the ground chuckling "Is everything frightening you today?" he asked. Udyr's attention went to Ezreal, his expression that of anger "Silence you fool! Do you not realize what is happening." He said.
Udyr started thinking, he faced Ezreal and started explaining "I do not know how they have done it, but this is a human man. I believe they plan to control the Orb using him. If that happens, may all the gods have mercy on us". Ezreal now feared along, he finally understood what was going on. The man who was unconscious coughed a couple of times, slowly regaining conscience he looked around him. Udyr still frozen in place, took patience in what was happening. "Where am I?" The man asked. Udyr came closer, but was surprised when the man started to panic. Never in his life did he see creatures such as these, Runeterra would be a completely new world to him. The man rocketed backwards hitting his head on the cage bars, falling unconscious once again. "Oh boy, he's a smart one" Ezreal said worried. Udyr tended the man's would with his Turtle Spirit, it seemed the green goo finally started to dissolve. Ezreal noticed this and tried his own gadgets, even though it worked the Cage was designed to prevent abilities from destroying it.
Slowly opening his eyes the an once again saw Udyr, but this time felt more comfortable. He knew this wasn't a dream, but he wasn't in danger from this man. "What is your name?" Udyr asked. The man slowly got up, still drowsy he examined the cage and the room "My name's Lockhart, John Lockhart". It seemed that somehow Singed managed to transport him to Runeterra. Udyr was still fascinated, it has been ages since he last saw a summoner. The door opened once again Singed, Twitch and the hooded man all came walking through. John panicked, he never saw creatures like this before; but his attention went to the hooded man. He killed those people, and abducted him. "What is your plan ?" Udyr asked. Singed laughed as he came closer "I will conquer the realms of men and gods, I will be the one who will lead Zaun to victory".
Singed raised the Orb half way in the air "With this, I will control the voidlings, humans and runeterrans". Udyr gasped as he grabbed the bars of the cage "Impossible! You cannot control a human, nor can you access the void. It has been closed centuries ago". The orb now rising higher "My dear friend, it is possible; for I have many friends" Singed answered. The hooded man approached Singed, taking of his hood a familiar foe was revealed "I have sided with Kassadin, The void walker; With my technological research I have created passage to both the Void and Earth Realm". Udyr seemed shocked once again, this week was getting all the worse. Ezreal pale as a ghost, couldn't speak a word. Kassadin was one of the Voidlings, a half-ling and threat to the entire world.
Singed now raised the Orb completely, speaking ancient Runeterran he activated what seemed to be a pulse "Now, the power will be mine!" Singed yelled. The orb pulsing more by the second, John was screaming in agony; not soon after Udyr and Ezreal. The pulses became more violent, at a point even Twitch and Singed were gasping for air. The pulse was beyond powerful, Kassadin could feel this and vanished inside his void portal. "Why is it not working!" Singed yelled. Twitch looked confused, but couldn't talk due to the pulsing of the orb. It started lighting up, the void portal still open; Singed and Twitch made their way inside. The Orb was about to explode. A huge white flash followed, a pulse as powerful as lighting surged the entire sewer system.
