Chapter 2: A new champion/ a new rival

(Gunrun POV)

I wake up as soon as the sun's rays flow into the bed room. I walk over to the bathroom to wash my face. I repeatedly splash the cold water on my face. I stare endlessly at the mirror thinking about the fact I have a brother and he hates me. I snap back into reality and gather my usual outfit. I leave my skates at the door so I don't end up scratching the floor.

I walk down stairs to begin cooking breakfast for Sarah and me. I check the fridge and thought about making omelets for us along with a side of bacon. So I begin to cook some. I start on making Sarah's because a couple month ago we found out she is having twins, so she is eating for three. I made sure her omelet is packed with lots of onions, bacon and other vegetables. I set a side of toast next to her plate. As soon I laid a cup of coffee for her, I hear her waking up. I begin making a plate for myself. I hear her footsteps nearing every passing second. As soon I got my plate ready on the table she is sitting there eating.

"Morning sunshine" I tease.

"Baby please it's early in the morning for this."

"As I was trying to tell you last night, I found out I have a brother."

Her eyes shot up to me and ask "so what is he like?"

"Sadistic, evil, megalomaniac and an extreme desire to kill me" I try to say in a sarcastic version of being nonchalant.

"Wow."

"I know."

We continue with our breakfast with our normal conversations. Conversations like how things at the League are or how is Bilgewater handling their now government. When we finish our breakfast, I immediately begin wash the dishes. As I clean the last dish I walk over to the door to equip my skates. As I strap the last belt on my skates, I hear a knock on the door. I skate over to see who it is.

"Caitlyn, Vi, what are you doing here?"

"You got to hurry a new champion have entered the League" Caitlyn said in a concerned manner

"I should care why" I ask while rechecking my guns.

"The new champ is your brother."

I quickly holster my gun and I quickly skate over to the Institute of War. I utilize every turn and alley way until I made it to the league building. I skate right in. I press a button near my toes to convert my skates into boots. I rush in to where everyone is gathering. I blend with the crowd making sure Hexx doesn't see me. I was wrong. They're gathered at the screens watching him fight in the proving grounds.

He is making quick work of the Ionian champions fighting him. The champions fighting him are Irelia, Master Yi, Wukong, and Shen. They're just slowing him down but he has proven to be too strong. Every time they attack him individually they only stall a half minute or less. As a last ditch effort they try to Rush him but he already walked back to his base.

They stand confused but at the ready. They look towards their feet at the growing shadow. When they look up a devastating ball of dark magic hurdling towards them. Before they knew it they were killed by the energy. This allowed Hexx to push on the last turret. As he brings his hammer down destroying the last turret, Irelia surrenders to Hexx. This action is followed by the rest of the Ionian champions.

For the first time in my life, Ionian champions giving up. I never thought to see the day. They always were so determined to fight for their honor. They were always willing to fight to their very last. Now I'm not so sure if anyone could stand against him. Truly Hexx is the living embodiment of pure evil. The giant doors open showing the Ionian fighters battered and beaten, where my brother emerges unscathed.

I look to Jarven for some further orders. After all I serve Demacia. I can't openly fight him without my lordship's agreement. From the look on his face I will have to face him many times.

The door opens allowing the champions to leave the proving grounds. Hexx leaves with a sadistic smile plastered on his face while the Ionian champions leave with defeat drawn all over their faces. They sulk while Hexx gloats.

"Is there no one willing to challenge me?"

"I will fight you" I yell out.

The crowd clears the way until Hexx and I are staring each other down.

"Ah, brother it warms me that you are here."

"Enough Hexx, I will fight you in every battle field."

"Then so I shall." He laughs as he exit the room with the Noxian champions.

I go to my training room so I can practice my skills. The room is a giant arena like room to start up some simulations. I set up the simulation to be Summoners Rift. I set my team to be all Demacian champions where the opposing team is my brother and Noxian Champions.

I thought about grabbing a health potion and a Doran's blade to start off with. Since this is an all bot match I have to take mid. I usually use up ability and attack points but this time, I think it's time to experiment.

I start off with an dagger and a health pot. I run down the lane with my True Aim ability. I also pick up one those new trinkets. I choose to bring a Ward totem.

I hide in the tall grass near the river so I can lie in wait for my opponent. I wait for a minute and the minions from both sides meet. The enemy champion I'm fighting is a practice dummy in the form of my brother. I rush out and shot at him repeatedly. He casts a spell the chains me down while he escapes. While he escapes I concentrate my fire towards the minions. I keep going for last hits on each one. I keep getting a lot of gold from each one. I run toward the enemy turret to take it down but I'm met with the dummy again.

He use closes the distance and attack me with his partisan hammer. Just when I about to be struck down someone interrupted the whole simulation. Everything shut down around me. I turn to see who turn my simulation off. I expect my brother to rub his affiliation into my face but instead I find someone else.

"I'm sorry but I thought this room was left on."

"It's fine Yasuo; come on in."

"I just need to train a little bit."

"Why may I ask?"

"I found the real killer of my master."

"Care to enlighten me" I ask while lighting a cigarette.

"The one they call Riven."

"Then we have a common enemy."

"Why is that Gareth?"

"Every time I send out a supply caravan to bring relief supplies to Ionia, someone hacks down the escort and the rider, and all that to burn down the supplies; there was only one person who could launch a wind like attack and that person is Riven" I growl smothering the lit cigarette into my hand. "So I want to bring her to justice as well as defeating my brother."

"Why do you hold resent for your brother?"

"I don't he hold a deep hate for me."

"I see but what will that accomplish?"

"He was the real reason that my village is in ruins as well as Gangplank." I turn to meet Yasuo's gaze. "Riven may hold resent for me because I attacked Noxus head on, but you are her true enemy; if we could openly challenge Riven to a match and force her to reveal her wind attack, it could clear your name."

"The plan is sound, but is the timing right?"

"No; we must strengthen ourselves then we can fight Noxus."

"Very well; farewell Gareth."

As soon he left I restarted the simulation but this time I made some changes to how it may play out in terms of champions.

(Hexx POV)

I wander through the streets of Noxus and look for a place to drink. I found a place near the heart of this dark and dim city. 'The Bunny Bar,' the sign above the doors illuminate in a bright violet and blue. I walk in and find that this place just started their usual opening hour. I ask for a table near the bar. I order for thirty rounds of drinks for the whole place.

I don't mind spending the money I earned throughout my travels. The amount I have makes any bank look like a tiny coin jar.

I sit in the bar drinking every ounce of the rounds I ordered for myself. Before I take my thirteenth round of liquor someone stop my hand. From the softness of the dainty hand I could tell the person is a woman.

"I think you had enough."

"Who says?"

"I say."

"Then I say I haven't had enough."

"I think you need to leave."

"I don't think so."

In a blink of the eye I pull out my halberd and slash at her. In a heated response she pulls out a broken yellow sword. I swing and strike but I can't hit her without getting blocked by her sword or if she dodges the ax part of the halberd. I have to get the upper hand in this fight. I think quickly and end up smashing the ground under her. I break an inch or two of the floor but at least she is disorientated. I come at her to do the finishing blow. In her haste she stabs the ground releasing her Ki energy. The blast of light blinds me for a second but I recovered and to what I see I now realize whom I'm fighting.

"So rumors are true you do work at this bar Riven."

"And you are a bit nosy."

"You do know we share a common enemy."

"I don't think Singed ever did something to you."

"I'm talking about Demacia."

"So?"

"Wouldn't you rather work together than fight each other?"

"Fine but in what sort of manner of an alliance you propose?"

I smile to those words and reply.

"something that would benefit us both."
