Hello friends! Here is the next chapter!

I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I hope you'll enjoy it as well.

„Yeah? Go ahead!" Rumble looked at Tristana interested.

„How about we'll make a full Yordle team for Vait's first fight on the Rift? I think that sounds fun. And we could help Vait if he has any questions!"

„Oh yeah! I wanna be part of Vait's first time! Hehe~" Ziggs looked at me with his usual smile.

„You couldn't have phrased that a little different, right? But sure, I'm down for that!"

„Great, then I'll go and ask Amumu if he'll go to the jungle for us!" Tristana was about to run off, but Lulu stopped her.

„Whaaaaat? But what about me? I wanna be in the first game of the other suppordle!"

„Suppordle?" Tristana looked at her confused.

„Yeah, suppordle! You know? Support yordle! And you are a gunordle! Ziggs is a bombordle and Rumble is a mechordle!" She looked at Tristana with a big smile.

Tristana on the other hand looked confused. „Yeaaaah sure... Anyway, we need a jungler in our team and I don't think that you are really the best for that job."

„What? You must be kidding! Pix and I can jungle just fine!"

„Okay sure. If you say so. I'll go ahead and prepare everything! Let's meet at the teleporters in one hour!" She left waving and Lulu followed her.

„This'll be fun! I can't wait to see my old buddy stomping enemies on the battlefield! Come, I'll help ya prepare!" He dragged me with him and left Rumble alone sitting.

„Okay, noooow... Where do you live?"

„Maybe you shouldn't drag me if you don't even know where my house is."

„Ahhh that's nothing! You tell me which direction and I'll drag ya right there!"

I rolled my eyes, but still smiled. He is such an goofball, but a loveable goofball. I told him where to go and once we reached my home we went inside.

„Okay! You go grab your weapon and one of each of your potions and grab your armor if you have one and then you're ready!"

„Hehe, you could have told me that back in the cafeteria. I think I can handle picking this stuff up alone."

„Yep, but now I know where you live and now I can visit you whenever I want!"

„Fair point. I'll go grab my stuff." I did that and met with Ziggs again.

„Now we'll go to my house so you'll know where I live and I grab my stuff and then we'll be ready!" We walked towards Ziggs' home. It was actually near mine, which made me quite happy. We went inside.

„I'll be right back! Shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes! Feel free to explore this mess!" He quickly went up to get ready.

I looked around and immediately saw what he meant. I imagined that his house would be quite chaotic, but this is a whole new definition of messy.

I could not see the floor whatsoever. It was full of papers. They all contained some kind of drawing. Mostly bomb drawings, but some were just fun little drawings of Ziggs himself. Ziggs as a pirate... one where he looks like a boss in a video game... One where he throws exploding snowballs on a man with a sword... And one where he is throwing water balloons on people in a pool. I'm amazed at how well he can draw! There were also various bomb parts laying around. I really don't know how anyone could find anything in here.

I wanted to look around some more, but Ziggs came jumping down. He had changed into his armor and he had many different bombs with him.

„And? Do you like my castle?"

„It's certainly... something! I don't understand how you find anything in here."

„Oh, it's not thaaaat bad once you get used to it. It could be muuuuch worse!"

„And how exactly?"

„Weeeeell... I could throw a bomb in here! Then it would be a little bit messier!"

„I guess that's true..."

„Welp, we should get going. We don't wanna be late, riiight?"

„Yep, let's go!"

We went outside and Ziggs led me to our destination. Once we arrived we saw that Tristana, Lulu and Rumble were already standing near the teleporters. Tristana had her gun, Lulu her rod and Rumble had his giant mech. They all seemed to be ready to go.

„Here we are guys! In time as usual! Hehe!"

„Yep, are you ready Vait?" Tristana looked at me with a confident smile

„I guess so? As ready as I can be." Of course I was excited, but I also was a bit scared that I'll just fail horribly.

„Aww, don't worry buddy! You'll do great! Just shoot them and throw your potions at us and you'll be golden!"

„Yeah, you're right..."

„Okay, then just stand on this teleport platform. Better close your eyes, you'll feel weird for a second, but it'll be fine!"

I guess it'll be the same as the teleport to the League. I walked towards the platform and closed my eyes. After a while I felt the teleport and opened my eyes again. I was standing on the Summoners Rift. It was a really beautiful view. I couldn't really appreciate it when I was watching some matches.

The others were standing near me. Rumble and Lulu bought some stuff and went top side. Ziggs looked at me and smiled.

„Alright pal! I'll leave ya to Tristana! She'll help you get through this juuust fine! Have fun out there!" He also bought something, waved me goodbye and then went to the middle lane.

„Okay recruit! I know the first fight on the Rift can be quite scary, but don't worry. The pain you'll feel is much lower than what you'd feel outside of the Rift."

Well, that is a relief. I kinda figured that something like this was the case. I don't think anyone would really look forward to fighting if they would feel the pain of dying multiple times.

„Well... Let's see..." Tristana was standing in front of the shop and looked around. After a while she grabbed a coin and three potions and handed them to me.

„This should be okay for the start. I don't know how you fight yet, but I guess that should be alright. Now follow me!" She went down to the bottom lane and I followed her quickly. We stopped near our tower.

„Okay, you know the basics, right? Let me kill the little guys that'll come to our lane, try to attack the bad guys on the other team without getting hurt yourself, use your skills wisely and at the end we'll destroy their Nexus!"

„Yep, I got it!"

„Great, then let's see who we'll face in our lane!" Tristana walked forward and I followed her.

We saw a big guy and a woman. The guy had a pistol, was wearing a mask and gave off a scary vibe. The woman on the other hand seemed quite calm. Something was floating behind her head, but it seemed like she had no weapons at all.

„See that big dude? That's Jhin. He attacks quite slow and has to reload every few shots, but his attacks hurt. He also has a bouncing grenade and has some sniping tools. So even if you don't see him you should move. The girl is Karma. She uses magic to attack. She'll try to attack us with a small flame that she shoots. It's easy too dodge, but can hurt quite a bit. She can also shield herself or allies and empower her attacks, so be careful if her hands and eyes start glowing."

I listened and tried to remember all of it... But the thought of getting shot by a bullet or getting burned by magic is quite scary.

„But it's better if you see it yourself anyway! Let's go!"

The little guys – I think they are called minions – came down the lane and Tristana and Jhin began shooting them. Karma was hiding in a brush, so I did the same. The beginning was actually kinda boring, but then I heard Tristana's voice in my head.

„You hear me? We'll reach level 3 before them. When we do I'll jump in. I don't know if that is a good idea since I don't know how you fight, but still. Just do your stuff."

I nodded and Tristana killed another minion. After that she immediately jumped onto Jhin and threw a bomb on him. I shot Tristana with a healing potion and then turned my attention to Jhin. He tried to flee, but I slowed him with the first shot of my Leg Shot. I then rolled to get into a better position and fired the second Leg Shot. It also hit Jhin, leaving him unable to move at all. Karma tried her best to keep Jhin alive, but after I hit my Armor Shot and Tristana's bomb exploded he died. Karma had more luck and could flee to her tower. Tristana smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

„Not bad, recruit! I didn't think it would go that smooth!"

„Well, I do have some skills!" I smiled and Tristana kept killing minions until our minions hit their tower.

„Let's go back. We should have enough gold to buy something nice!"

„Okay... And how you do do that? I mean the teleporting back?"

„Oh right! Just close your eyes and concentrate hard on the beginning platform. After a while you'll teleport there."

I did as I was told and soon found myself back at the starting point. Tristana immediately took the coin she bought for me before, gave it to the shopkeeper and handed me a talisman for it. She also gave me some boots

„But... I'm already wearing boots."

„I know, but these will make you faster. Trust me!"

„If you say so." I put on the boots and walked around a little. I really was moving faster!

Tristana bought something herself and then went back to the lane. I quickly followed her and she continued farming the minions.

Tristana told me to put a ward in the second bush. I don't know why, but I'm sure she has a plan. After a while Jhin and Karma pushed us towards out tower. They played alot safer after Jhin died, so we had no real opening to jump on them again. I heard Tristana's voice in my head once more.

„Hey Rumble. You got some time and a teleport to spare?"

„I always have time for you Tristana!"

„Great, then it would be awesome if you come down and help us a little."

„Sure thing, I'll be there in a second!" After I heard that I saw a purple glow coming from the bush I put the ward in. Once the glow was gone I immediately saw rockets falling down from the sky on Jhin and Karma. It was surprising at first, but then I reacted and rooted Karma in the fire and electricity. She died rather quickly. Jhin tried to flee, but Tristana jumped on him and Rumble shot harpoons at him. He didn't come very far and also died.

„Thanks Rumble! I owe ya one!"

„Nah, I'm happy to help! Wanna push down their turret?"

„You know I do!" We all headed towards their tower and took it down. After that we all went back and Rumble went top again.

„Okay Vait, we'll go help Ziggs take his tower now. We'll have a huge gold lead after that!"

I nodded and we walked toward the middle lane. Ziggs was standing near his tower and smiled brighter when he saw us.

„Hey guys! Glad to see you! Ahri is a liiiiittle annoying, so I'm happy for every help!"

„Leave it to us! Vait, go ward the two bushes and then we'll push."

I did just that. The first brush was no problem, but once I warded the second one I was jumped on by a man with a long sword and a weird helmet. He attacked me and I tried to flee, but the girl with the fox ears and the nine tails blew a kiss to me and I couldn't resist the urge to walk to her. Tristana and Ziggs tried to help me, but it was too late. Suddenly everything went dark...


I opened my eyes and looked around. I was back at the starting platform. It took me a second before I realized what happened. I guess I died back there. It really didn't hurt as badly as I thought. I decided to go to the middle lane again and see if I can help them.

I saw Tristana and Ziggs working on the enemy tower. I guess they did fine without me. I joined them and Tristana began talking

„Hey Champ! Sorry that we didn't help you soon enough."

„Oh, no problem. That wasn't your fault." Ziggs used one of his Satchel Charges and the tower fell.

After that we went back and decided that we all should head mid to push the enemies down.

„Okay, this should be the deciding teamfight. Whoever wins this should have a huge gold advantage and can just freely push. Let's give it our all!" Tristana spoke and we nodded. The other team also gathered mid and seemed ready to fight. Besides the enemy champions that I already saw was a woman with floating blades. They seemed to move on their own, but I guess she controls them somehow. She also was the first one to initiate. She jumped on Rumble and the guy with the long sword followed her. Lulu and Rumble reacted immediately. Lulu casted a spell on Rumble and he and his mech were suddenly much larger than before. Rumble on the other hand pushed many buttons on his mech and the same rockets as before flew up. They landed on top of Jhin, Karma and the fox girl. He didn't seem to care much for the two sword fighters that attacked him. But Ziggs and Tristana bombarded the two with shots and bombs, while Lulu tried her best to support Rumble.

I decided that now is the time that I'll use my ultimate ability! I kneeled down and took out many potions. I have to chose between an ultra healing potion, a mega potion and a stone skin potion. I can only shoot three, but I can decide which potions I shoot. I could shoot three ultra healing potions or two mega potions and a stone skin potion or one of each. I decided that in this situation one of each would be the best.

First I loaded my weapon with the stone skin potion and shot Rumble with it. The effect was immediately visible and his skin turned into stone. That should make it much harder for the enemies to hurt him.

Next I loaded the mega potion. I shot that one at Ziggs. He became a little bit larger and his attacks will be much stronger for a while.

The last potion I used was the ultra healing potion. I also shot this one at Rumble so the wounds that he already had would heal quite fast.

After I used my last potion I continued to fight as usual. We quite easily won this teamfight. We didn't even lose one member of our team.

„Hahahaha, oh maaan! That was awesome! You shot me with that potion and then I was huuuge and my bombs just annihilated them! Haha!" Ziggs laughed loudly and looked at me with a big smile

„I gotta say, these heals were pretty Vait-el! Hahahaha!" I rolled with my eyes, but smiled.

„Oh yeah, I have NEVER heard that before from you."

„Hey, less talking, more pushing guys!" Rumble looked at us.

„Aww, no need to G-rumble!" Ziggs smiled even brighter. I could really tell how much fun he was having.

„... You don't even know how much I hate the fact that I like you..." Rumble turned his mech around and walked to Tristana and Lulu, who were already pushing.

„H-hey! Don't be like thaaat!" Ziggs quickly followed him. I still stood there for a second and smiled. Then I also followed them.

We pushed quite far and Tristana was right. After this fight we had no problems whatsoever pushing and we won the fight. After their Nexus fell, we were teleported back to the League.

„And? Did you have fun?" Ziggs immediately asked me

„I actually did. I didn't think the first time would be so fun!"

„Hahaha, and you tell me that I should phrase stuff differently?" I didn't even notice that I said something ambigous.

„Well... I didn't mean to phrase it like that! Unlike you!"

„Whaaaaat? I also totally didn't mean to!" He smiled pretty innocently.

„Yeah yeah, your tone said something different."

„Awww, I'm the most innocent yordle ever!"

„Hey guys, we'll be leaving." Tristana suddenly spoke and we looked at her.

„Yep, I have to work a bit on Tristy. She was a little clunky today."

„And Pix and I have to fill up our purple again!" It sounded weird, but I think most of what Lulu says sounds weird.

„See ya later guys! And Vait: You fought very well! I can't wait to fight with you again!" Tristana and the others waved us goodbye and Ziggs and I were left alone.

„Sooo... What do you want to do now? Eat something? Exploooore? Sleep? Wait! Don't sleep! It would be boring if you go sleeping now!"

„Haha, no worries, I'm not tired yet. Hmm... How about we explore a little? I didn't have much time to do that yet."

„Ohhhh yeah! I know exactly what I'll show you! Follow me!" Ziggs immediately ran and I followed him.

I wasn't quite sure what he wants to show me, but that didn't matter right now. I was just glad to finally spend some time with him again.

So that chapter showed how Vait would fight if he really was a Champion. I hope you enjoyed it!
