Author's Note: Hey, sorry for taking so long, I wanted to put so many details into the battle scenes that they started driving me insane...short trip really, but I digress.

League belongs to Riot, as do their characters, original characters belong to me, usual disclaimer stuff.

Chapter 2: Fists of Fury

You want to do what with me?! I deck fuckers for less than that! Vi pounded her right hand into her left palm. Bane backed off for a moment, using the starting gold to get Vi a Hunter's Machete and five health potions, standard jungling items.

I may have said that wrong. Bane thought back, mentally dodging the punch she sent his way as he sent the energy from the items to her.

You want to know how I feel?! You'll learn how my fists feel once this match is over! Vi replied as she stormed towards the camp containing the largest golem, the so called Ancient Golem, and its 'blue' buff.

Vi please, chill out, I meant your senses, how it feels to beat an opponent down, what Baron Nashor's avatar looks like. Bane mentally shook his head. I won't be on the Fields of Justice for maintenance any time soon, unless I leave flaming Favlian dung on Senior Summoner Jacquel's front step again.

Wait, you did that? That wing in the Senior Summoner's section still reeks! I heard that the culprits were cleaning that place for three weeks. Vi was shocked at this revelation, using their mental connection to view the memory in Bane's mind.

Hey now, you doing that means I can do it to you. Bane thought, but he didn't look any deeper, focusing on aligning his physical senses with Vi's.

Vi laughed as she saw Senior Summoner Jacquel try and deal with disgusting 'gift' that his students had left for him after their impromptu exam. She felt Bane's presence over lapping her hands and feet, but nothing more. Most Summoner's don't care to do this, but he's surprising me at every turn...hasn't even copped a feel yet. Vi thought to herself.

Oh, you mean like this? Bane thought back, catching her off guard with a psychic grab towards her ass. Vi blushed slightly, in anger, embarrassment, and excitement. Jackass, I'll get you back for that. Vi sent Bane's way as she started punching the Ancient Golem, getting some help Ziggs and Nasus before they headed off to their lanes.

I look forward to it, but let's focus on getting our buffs and giving Kog'Maw the advantage over Ezreal.


Man, smashing just about anything is satisfying with these gauntlets. Bane thought to Vi as she finished beating down the pair of golems near the bottom area of Summoner's Rift. The larger golem collapsed last, giving up its contained energy charge, healing Vi as she pressed her recall beacon, a series of blue rings surrounding her as she prepared to return to base.

Eh, beatin up those constructs in the jungle gets boring after a while. Vi thought back as she quickly recovered her stamina as Bane, with his mental connection to the shopkeeper, bought a Giant's Belt and channelled it's essence to Vi, improving her health further. Nice choice, now let's get back to Kog'Maw and Sona's lane, Ezreal needs another shot to the face.

Agreed, plus I swear that Coplin is hindering Kog'Maw; he's pretty low on health despite Sona constantly healing him. Bane thought as he spread his awareness, seeing that Ziggs was doing well against Katarina in the middle lane, Nasus was slowly farming minions to strengthen his Siphon Strike, and Kog'Maw had just sent out a rolling ball of goo to slow Ezreal and Soraka's pursuit.

Bane, you and Vi better get down here fast, I think Warwick is coming. Summoner Vriska mentally called over, while signalling Sona to play her Aria of Perseverance to keep Kog'Maw alive.

On it, check with Mina too, looks like she and Ziggs could help out, give us the advantage. Bane opened his eyes, noticing that Coplin wasn't showing any signs of duress, while Vriska, Dispanic, and Mina all had sweat drops on their brows. Wiping some off his own brow, Bane focused back his own Champion, realigning his senses with Vi's as she cut through the jungle towards the Dragon's pit.

Vi ducked into the bush that covered three paths nearby the bottom section of the battlefield. She looked out across the river and saw Warwick making his way towards the bush across from her. Bane signalled to Mina to have Ziggs avoid the river and join Vi.

Warwick quickly joined Ezreal and Soraka in pressuring down on Kog'Maw and Sona's turret. The turret was already looking rather beat up and Kog'Maw was limping already. Sona was still playing her Aria of Perseverance, but things weren't looking good for the pair.

Suddenly Kog'Maw stiffened and began walking towards Ezreal, a pained look on his face. Bane disconnected his eyes from Vi's and looked at Coplin standing across the circle from him. Coplin was sweating hard now, his hands clutching his summoning crystal so hard that his veins were raised up on his skin.

That bastard Coplin is forcing Kog'Maw up! Vi, we gotta help him. Bane sent to Vi as he reconnected his vision, Vi already charging into the fray.

You don't need to tell me twice Bane, here we go! Vi thought back as she charged the propulsion engine in her right gauntlet as she made her way towards Ezreal. Sona's song changed, turning her Aria into her Hymn of Valour, Soraka unable to use her Infuse in time to stop the musical change. Warwick paid her no attention, rushing into to suppress Kog'Maws movement while clawing at him furiously.

"Haahh!" Vi yelled, throwing herself forward with a punch, catching Warwick in the side of the head, knocking him to the ground. Kog'Maw came free and began spitting at the werewolf while Vi dealt another pair of punches, making sure Warwick didn't get back up.

An enemy has been slain.

"Kog you idiot, get back!" Vi yelled over, as Kog'Maw strained to turn his body around. "You ca-"Vi started, but cut caught off, her voice box suddenly constricted. She turned seeing Soraka smirk slightly before summoning a barrage of stars down on Kog'Maw, Sona, and Vi. Ezreal continued to fire energy from his gauntlet at Kog'Maw, bringing the voidling close to death.

Bane could see Ezreal charging up his Mystic Shot, looking to take Kog'Maw out of the equation. Coplin was still hindering Kog'Maw as far as he could tell, which was beginning to piss him off. "Vi, you gotta block that or Kog'Maws dead!" he yelled, both to Vi and back in his Summoning Circle. There he saw, just under Coplin's hood, a smirk growing on his face.

"On it! Come here Ez!" Vi yelled as Bane used Flash upon her, blocking the kill shot while driving her fist into Ezreal's chest. Another punch sent him reeling, before he dodged through a portal to get away.

"Like hell you're getting away this time!" Vi launched a tracker at Ezreal's retreating form, feeling that comfortable pull of her gauntlets as they homed in on it. Catching him, she uppercut him into the air before jumping up and slamming him to the ground. He gasped for air, his body hurting all over, grasping for a health token as he climbed to his feet. He saw a shadow pass over him before Vi's heavy right fist blackened his vision for the next twenty seconds.

Double Kill!

Suddenly a thundering Crescendo rolled over the brush behind Vi, forcing Soraka out of her hiding place with an eccentric dance. A friendly chime washed over Vi, healing her as she turned around, cracking her knuckles as she smirked.

"Incoming!" Ziggs cried from the river bush he just emerged from, throwing bombs like mad at the poor Starchild. She made to run for her tower, but Vi cut her off with another heavy right fist. Soraka fell, her hands clenched together in prayer as she made a Wish, healing herself and her team while she could. Vi smiled, pulling back a fist to end this battle. She went for the killing blow, only for a bomb from Ziggs to smack into Soraka's side, detonating and killing her.

An enemy has been slain.

"Hmph, glad you could make it Bombs, nice kill you picked up there," Vi said, heading back towards Kog'Maw, who was beginning to recall.

"Ha hah, no problem, see you later Vi!" Ziggs called running back towards his lane to continue harassing Katarina.

Vi approached Kog'Maw, Sona falling into float beside her, all three now recalling to base. Vi checked her gold count, impressed with how much she had brought in.

"Thank you Vi lady."

Vi looked down at Kog'Maw, patting the little Voidling on the head. "What happened back there Kog? Why didn't you run?"

"I couldn't...legs wouldn't move...Kept fighting though."

Vi simply nodded before turning to the shop, suddenly noticing that she hadn't heard from Bane in a while.

Yo, Bane, you there? What happened?


Oh not much, just about to rip Coplin's face off. Bane thought back, approaching Coplin with his right hand clenched. I'll be back in a moment, but Kog'Maw may have to fight on his own for the rest of the match.

Wait Summoner, please.

Kog'Maw? Why, he's a bastard that tried to get you killed.

But...you helped Kog'Maw...Kog'Maw like Summoner Bane...you nice, not mean like bad Summoner.

Bane sighed, clenched his fists, and then sighed, releasing them as he returned to his spot. Refocusing on his summoning crystal, he reconnected with Vi.

Very well Kog'Maw, because you asked.


Damn it, dragon's down, knew we should've stuck around down there. Bane thought, scanning the Rift. Sona and Vriska were able to put a few wards into the enemies jungle once they lost their outer turrets and Bane wanted to invade more often.

Whatever, Kog'Maw would've had to fight to help us, now Nasus is able to run over Vladimir. Vi thought back, heading towards Warwick's Ancient Golem camp. Taking it wouldn't hurt Katarina much, but it let Ziggs take Vi's in safety.

With Bane's map awareness and Sona's ward coverage, he saw that Warwick, Vladimir, and Katarina were heading to the bush, Ezreal and Soraka still battling Kog'Maw and Sona under the turret not far away. As much as Coplin wanted to hinder Kog'Maw, doing more than he already has would make him suspicious to the Senior Summoners. Let's end this before they pick Kog'Maw or us off.

What, afraid of dying now Bane? Geez, thought you had a pair.

Questioning my balls when we have this much of a link? Care to make a bet then?

Name your game.

We stay alive the whole match, we go for dinner at Lucia's in Piltover.

Vi shook her head smirking. You don't give up easy do you.

That's not a no, so yeah, and should we somehow die, you sign my black book.

Black book? That your Summoning list?

...Sure, you can call it that.

You're an ass.

That's still not a no. Bane thought back, smirking himself in reality. He sent a general alert notification to his team to let them know that the entire opposition was near him.

Dispanic, keep pushing your lane up, but be ready to Teleport Nasus in once they group up, Vi and I can't tank it all. Bane instructed his teammate.

Sure thing, wouldn't want you to lose another date bet. Dispanic thought back.

How did you know?

Come on man, we've known you how long at the Arcanis Majorum? You've always been lady hunter. Vriska cut in with a snicker. Mina laughed as well. Don't laugh too hard Mina, we know you went out with him too.

Mina blushed before a stammering thought replied. So jealous Vriska, just because he stepped up and-

Alright, let's focus guys, gossip time can be at the bar for you all.


Let Warwick take the blue, you two don't need mana regeneration. Summoner Talca thought to his team.

Psh, Vlad's the only one with a positive KDA, let us use it. Summoner Liliana replied, her heavy accent coming through.

Please, Kat could use it too for that matter, it increases her cooldown reduction. Summoner Amaryllis cut in, tired of the bickering between the two.

Yeah, but Vi's got her pegged every time she tries to use her Death Lotus, she'll just lose it and Vi will rampage all over us. Summoner Talca retorted.

As if you're stopping her Talca, you always jump in on Sona or Kog'Maw and get picked off. Maybe you should defend Kat and Ezreal by keeping Vi and Nasus off us.

We will, with that blue buff. Then we'll go kill Kog'Maw and Sona.

Back on the Rift, Warwick, Vladimir, and Katarina all looked at each other. The Ancient Golem looked down at the three Champions apathetically, it's mere existence just to give its murderer the famed blue buff. It just wanted this scuffle to be over so it could back into limbo for a minute.

"So, finish it off Warwick," Vladimir gestured with a clawed hand. He and Kat both knew that Warwick would benefit from it the most, but the Summoners were new and looking to make an impact.

"Got it," Warwick growled, loping forward to swipe down the large construct.

A blinding light came crashing down on the Ancient Golem, taking its life and its blue buff. But to Katarina and Vladimir's confusion, it didn't go to him.

"Vi's nearby," Katarina said, drawing her blades. Warwick howled, but couldn't pick up a scent.

Damn it Summoners, pay attention, the enemy is close. Katarina thought to Summoner Amaryllis as she and Vladimir headed towards the middle lane access to their jungle while Warwick went to back up Ezreal and Soraka.

Wait Katarina, don't go that way, Bane likes to-

"Eat this!" Vi yelled, slammed her fist into Katarina's face, knocking her to the ground. Vi smirked, surprised that she caught Katarina off guard so easily. She kept punching while Katarina swiped at her with her blades, trying to get past the Warmog's Armour.

Ambush people after stealing their buffs, usually with-

"Bombs away!" Ziggs cried, chucking bombs at her and Vladimir, all with that crazy smile on his face. Vladimir was recoiling from the sudden onslaught, before he cut his arms, letting a massive pool of blood appear beneath Ziggs. Ziggs pulled out his Mega Inferno Bomb, dropping it on the group of them, decimating Vladimir and Katarina's health while Vi kept pounding away at the pair of them.

Help from the solo lanes. Summoner Amaryllis finished.

"Your blood shall turn against you!" Vladimir yelled as his Hemoplague prepared to rupture Ziggs small body apart. Ziggs merely widened his grin as he was encased in gold, trapped in time from the power of Zhonya's Hourglass, as Vladimir's Hemoplague ran its course without touching the Yordle. Vladimir scowled, crushing some blood vessels in Vi to recovery slightly before Ziggs emerged from stasis, chucking another large bomb to finish off the Crimson Reaper.

Screw this, we've gotta regroup with Ez and Warwick, at least get a kill there. Katarina thought as she dropped a ward over the wall back into the Ancient Golem's camp and Shunpoed to it.

"Get dunked Kat!" Vi yelled as she charged after Katarina at full speed.

Oh no, she caught you with her tracker before the Shunpo, we're done.

Damn, that Bane sure has improved. Katarina thought back, grunting slightly as she hit the ground with her eyes closed.

Wait, you knew Summoner Bane before the League?


Alright guys, the buff from Baron Nashor won't last much longer so let's finish off their Nexus turrets and end this. Bane thought to his team as the five Champions emerged from the Baron's alcove and headed towards the enemy base.

Dispanic, you take the front line. Mina, make sure to disrupt their positioning and deal as much damage as possible. Coplin, bombard them with Kog'Maws Artillery before moving into range. Vriska, keep Kog'Maw alive and save Crescendo for when they come for you, Coplin and Mina. Vi and I will stick with Dispanic until Katarina jumps in, then we'll interrupt her before we jump on Ezreal.

Got it. Will do. Whatever. Sure thing.

Heh, worried they might make a comeback somehow? Vi thought, cracking her knuckles in anticipation. She checked the items that they had bought, the Mobility Boots rushing her in front of everyone, the Spirit of the Lizard Elder for burn damage and slowing her targets, the Warmog's Armour to keep her health up, the Zephyr keeping her from being silenced long and attacking faster, and the Black Cleaver, the most recent addition, that combed well with her Denting Blows.

You sound concerned, afraid we might die and you'll miss that chance at dinner with me?

Only one way to find out, let's get fighting!

Bane's team arrived at the enemies' base, the Super Minions from Bane's base coming in from the top and middle lanes being held off by the enemy team. Bane, through Vi's eyes, could see Ezreal off to one side while Warwick and Vladimir dealt the brunt of the damage while Ezreal finished them off. Soraka and Katarina were just coming off the spawning platform when Bane's team attacked.

Nasus summoned a sandstorm around him, grew in stature, and darkened slightly, advancing to attack Warwick. Ziggs threw a Hextech Minefield to the right, keeping Ezreal, Katarina, and Soraka from getting close while he kept throwing Bouncing Bombs their way. Kog'Maw began spatting long range Living Artillery strikes at Warwick and Vladimir. Sona chimed in every once in a while, keeping everyone's health up, with Vi punching away at Warwick again.

Warwick didn't last long under the barrage of punches, but he and Vladimir were able to do enough damage to Nasus that he had to fall back. Vladimir fell next, but his Hemoplague devastated Bane's teammates. Ezreal was able to pick off Nasus and heavily wound Sona, but Kog'Maw shot him down quickly. Soraka fell shortly afterward, but she silenced Sona, stopping her healing tune from helping Kog'Maw.

We're pretty beat up, but we've got this match won. I'll contact Lucia's.

Damn, what a sha-

Suddenly Katarina appeared beside Vi and Ziggs, spinning like mad and throwing blades at them and Kog'Maw. Ziggs didn't last and Katarina began spinning again. Kog'Maw began retreating, but Bane and Vi could see that Katarina wanted to finish him off.

Take her out Vi, we can't let her keep rolling like this or it could be over.

On it. "Get dunked!" Vi yelled, charging Katarina down once again and slamming her into the stone work. They began an elegant clash of blades and fists, neither one willing to fall before the either.

Bane, I've taken too much and her Liandry's Torment keeps burning me, we should back off.

Kog'Maw and Sona will die if we do. I'm ready to die for our victory.

Touching, but I'm the one who will actually die here. Vi replied, falling to a knee as Katarina stood over her.

"Tell Bane I say hello," Katarina said, raising Vi's head with a dagger under her chin. Vi spat at Katarina, defiant to the end as the Liandry's Torment burned her into unconsciousness.

"NOOO! Vi lady!" Kog'Maw yelled, spitting like mad at Katarina and causing her to fall under the Bio-Arcane Barrage.


So this is death for Champions huh? Seems dull, everything is grey scale and it's like you're spectating. The fighting hurt more than the passing out from that burning pain, that was like Hell all over again.

Yeah, this part is pretty dull, at least it shouldn't take long for you to respawn me back at the base, provided Kog'Maw and Sona don't finish things now.

Too late, looks like the Nexus is falling now. Shame, looks like I won't be going to Lucia's tonight.

Could be worse, we could have lost.

Vi could feel the pull of a Teleport being used again, but something Bane nagged her.

Wait, what did you mean by Hell all over agai-

The link between them was severed as Bane put away his Summoning crystal and congratulated his team. Just what I said Vi, just what I said. Bane thought, his right hand tracing over his right eye as he and his team prepared to go back on stage before the cheering crowd.

Hell is real.
