A/N: Let's get my creative juices together and make a new Champion for League of Legends. Again. Now. This one will be named ... Elizabeth the Cat Burglar. She's a catgirl that works as a burglar; so yeah, that's about it.
Passive: Prance = Ignores unit collision, if not in battle for 8 seconds, she'll turn invisible.
Q: Always Works = Elizabeth throws a cone of knives out that snares whoever gets hit and decreases their armor/magic resistance.
W: Kleptomania = Whenever Elizabeth attacks an enemy champion, she steals 5/10/20/40/80 gold per strike.
E: No Traces = Charms everyone within a certain radius for a few seconds. Does magic damage.
R: Priceless = Elizabeth takes the most costly item on a champion and sells it immediately.
At midday, my Champion appears before me sitting on my desk. "Are you totally prepared for the Elimination Battle tomorrow? Once it begins, we can't go back! The enemy Summoner is just a bully, but his Champion's a tough woman. Still, I know we'll win!" Yes, winning is for the best of our interests.
My friend that usually lies on the window sill approaches me at the evening of the day, "Tomorrow's the day, Miku! How're you holding up? If we both win, we might fight each other next. I still wish you the best." The same to you, good luck.
While we are having a friendly discussion, the chalkboard girl and the other female player are also having their own conversation. "When the Holy Grail War is over, I'm going to profess my feelings to the one I love... What's with that look? I refuse to die! My determination will not be vanquished!" My friend and I both share a moment of quiet chuckling.
Chalkboard girl shrugs, her voice seems to be weary, "You know what, though? It's just a game. If things get bad, I can still just cut the connection. So what's there to worry about? I need to chill out." Hmm, I hope she'll be all right for tomorrow...
Entering into the second floor lobby, I meet up with another player standing around there. "Tomorrow is the first Elimination Battle. People are getting antsy. What about you? Have you given any thought to what happens to losers? I sure haven't." Right, neither have I, and I don't plan on losing. I need to go research some topics, bye.
The girl by the library's window seems to be worried about something. "I wonder if some Summoners really do lose by default when they aren't able to find their cipher keys. Oh, I'm not talking about you, of course. Hahaha!" Well, I already have mine, so I don't need to worry about that. Are you the one that's having a problem? You seem to be quite nervous. It doesn't look like she wants to talk anymore, though; I'll just leave her be then.
The student council member whose usually behind the library's counter greets me as usual when I arrive athenaeum, "Each week, you'll be required to record a new information matrix. When you confirm your opponent's true name, the fourth tab in the information matrix will unlock. It's not a requirement that you learn your opponent's true name, but it will make things easier." Fourth tab? I look at the matrix on my terminal again and look at the information I have on Rider and Caster; Rider's matrix level is three and has three out of four tabs filled and Caster's matrix level is one and has one out of four tabs filled... I don't know much about my Champion, do I? Maybe I should talk with her more.
As I was checking the matrix, another one of the student council officers approach me, "Have you obtained both cipher keys yet? If you don't have both of them, you won't be able to enter the coliseum. Better double check!" Yep, I do have them both. I can't lose them, right? Not unless I have a magnet, right? She shrugs at that question, then hesitatingly nods. I probably shouldn't do anything dangerous.
I'll go looking for the bookworm that's usually here to talk to me... Oh, hi there. How are you doing? "My preparations should be perfect, but I can't help being nervous. Shinji is your opponent, right Miku? He's a schmuck, but his Champion is rather powerful." Yes, that is true. He pats me on the back and gives me a thumbs up. Hehe, thanks.
Also, hidden behind the shelves stands another classmate who's usually the disturbingly loud person in the room, I wonder what she's doing. "The preparation period ends today. I thought I'd be fully prepared, but my Information Matrix isn't full." Well, that's also true for me. I'm not very sure how I'm supposed to get the last one, but my status report yesterday did say that I've already achieved getting all of the information from everyone. I should probably go research some more...
After getting to the third floor, I come into contact with Phreak, "So tomorrow is the day of your Elimination Battle. Is there anything you still need to do? If you do not have the cipher keys yet, you must retrieve them by the end of the day!" That's true, but I do have the keys, so there's nothing to worry about.
I walk down the left wing of the third floor and see the almond-skinned girl. Um, hi there. "So, tomorrow is the day of the Elimination Battle. Two unicorns enter the ivory shore's waters in harmony, and only one receives the crown." That's an ... odd way to put it, but yes, that will happen. I'm going to go now... Good bye.
Seeing Lou on the roof gives me a relief of some sort that I can't really explain. Glad to see you here. "Tomorrow's the Elimination Battle. It looks like your memories have yet to return. Your opponent is a Summoner from a magi family. Don't underestimate him TOO much. I can't wait to see the results of the match-up between the blank slate and the game champ.
Fast traveling to the first floor, Ashe is waiting impatiently for me. "Ah! You brought me a tangerine! Thank you oh-so-very much!" I give her the Tangerine. "And here is your decoration, as promised! Be sure not to lose it or anything!" I have received Ashe's Lamp in return... I wonder how this will look in our room.
A male student at the first floor lobby greets me, "Hey Miku! Are you ready for your elimination battle tomorrow? Hopefully we'll both win!" Yep, good luck with tomorrow.
I make my way towards the garden, but the girl infatuated with her Champion stops me in order to complain about something. "I love my Champion and all, but sometimes ... he just doesn't listen to me. You and your Champion actually respect each other? Mine is so hot that I can live with the disrespect." I guess if you're OK with that kind of relationship, then I suppose it's all right. Good.
Just as I was about to reach the garden, a worried voice catches me once more. "I'm still not used to all of this and time's running out. I'm just going to have to man up. I'm going to have to find a way to survive all of this. I have no intention of dying just yet." The person infatuated with Cristina is obviously anxious about tomorrow, I'm sure you'll do fine. Entering the garden, I find no one around in the tranquil place.
Oh, I'll just go to the schoolyard then. "Tomorrow's the Elimination Battle... Finally! What do you think the coliseum looks like?" I shrug to the person standing around on the sandy field. I haven't ever played this game before, so I know even less than you.
"Damn it...! I'm still missing a cipher key! Good thing I checked," a female user passes by us, probably heading straight to the Arena. That reminds me, I should pay a visit to the commissary.
There, I am approached by the student council member that is stationed at the cafeteria. "Tomorrow's the big day. Did you get everything you need? You'll still be able to shop tomorrow, of course, but it's better to prepare in advance." Oh, yeah. I'll be checking what's on sale today, so no worries about that.
"OK. Healing items, check! Formal wear, check! A ton of curry bread, CHECK! Are you here to stock up on stuff, too? I recommend the curry bread. It's awesome." All right, sure. I'll look into that, bread man.
Oh, there's nothing new in the store, but I can buy some bread with the spare change that I have. After the transaction I teleport to the second floor and head to our room.
The decorations that Ashe gave me are actually quite nice. The two lamps are oriental table lanterns and they complement the platform of desks quite nicely... Is it just me or is this place looking more like a shrine now?
"Ah~! Master, how you look under this lighting now is making my hunger grow in exponential rates! I just want to eat you up right at this moment." Oh, Caster. You and your jokes. "I'm not joking..." She grabs my chin, leaning in closer. Wha-wha-wha... "However, through my observation, I can see that you're not yet ready for some truly lewd activities. In any case, we should improve our love nest even more by adding more decorations to this room. I am positive that this Ashe person has even more favors to ask us and she'll reward us with more than quality adornments. So please accept any request she has for us, so then our love nest may become greater than anything other one in history!" Haaa... OK, OK. I'll do it, I'll do it. Just don't touch there, like you said before I'm not mentally prepared for this yet. All right, that's enough small talk for today, let's go to the Mystic Maze!
At the left wing that leads to the entrance of the Arena, the girl near classroom 1-A voices her thoughts aloud, "It seems like a lot of people here are motivated solely by the thought of winning the prize. I hope that their resolve holds once they realize the true nature of the Holy Grail War." Hmm? The true nature...? What do you know about the war? But it seems like at this point she isn't willing to say any more. Shooing me down the hall.
And down the hall is where the couple is at. Ugh, so oogie. "I was so busy looking after my honey that I was only able to obtain my two Triggers." Oh, that's ... not good.
How's the girlfriend doing? Are you going to have any troubles with tomorrow? "Huh? My Coliseum battle? Thanks to my darling, I'm going to win for sure!
"Shinjiii. What did I say earlier? I won't work without reward."
"What? You want more money? You greedy money-grubber!"
"Complement accepted. I'm a pirate mercenary. The brighter my pile of gold the more gusto behind my gun."
"All right, already! Jeez, just hold your horses!" He appears to be thinking rather critically right now. "...I hacked into the Arena and got it to generate more treasure, so..."
His Champion turns to face me, "Ooh. Why hello, little girl. Fancy meeting you here."
"Miku! Y-you're eavesdropping on me...? W-well, whatever. Now you know. Some treasure was generated on the second floor of the Arena. My Champion gets stronger the more she gets paid! Well, if you want any, you better get there before me."
"Hmm. Bold words, Shinji. But can someone like you really snatch all the treasure first? No, you can't! You're nothing more than a hapless, twisted knave!"
"You just called me a knave? You don't get to talk to me like that, you ungrateful Champion! OK, Miku. Meet you there. Even if you get there first, all of the treasure will be mine! Ahahahahaha!" He runs into the Arena, with his Champion quickly pursuing.
The fox girl reappears beside me, "Only a stupid person loves money that much. But we're the ones who will look stupid if we let her power up, so let's go get in their way!" Caster. "I mean, I want treasure, too..." OK, then let's go. To the Second Floor of the Mystic Maze!
First Chimeric Lunar Sea - Mystic Maze Second Floor
GREED AND LUST COMBINE TO BURST INTO BRILLIANCE, AND LEAD ONWARD TO THE SEPULCHER OF THE SEA.
HUNTING
-Treasure Hunting-
Tutorial -Treasure Hunting-
Due to Shinji's hacking, you'll have to participate in a treasure hunt on the 2nd floor of the First Chimeric Lunar Sea. During this event, for every item folder found by Shinji, his Champion's strength will be increased a certain amount. Thanks to Shinji's interference, the locations of the folders will change. Find them before someone else does!
"Be careful, my dear Master," Caster puts herself in front of me immediately. We're going to battle already?
Shinji laughs as we walk down the purple blocks, "So you came after all. Don't worry; I'll keep the extent of your greed a secret, Miku. Since we're both here, why don't we have a little competition to see who can find the most treasure? Haha, I'll be sure to go easy on you, so no need to take this thing too seriously!" Shinji runs down the ramp.
The pirate follows up excitedly, "All right, let the treasure hunt begin! Run like your life depends on it!"
Caster chuckles, "The treasure is all MI—I mean, my dear Master's!"

Shinji got somewhat of a head start since I didn't know we were sprinting for this treasure, "All right, this is the first one... Money really does make life better!"
I can hear the voice of his Champion reverberate through the floor, "Ah, the feel of treasure makes me tingly all over!"
"Wow, they're really good at picking up litter!" Isn't that right, Caster. But we have to catch up to them or we're going to let that miss over there get too powerful.

-TREASURE FOUND-
On my terminal's map I see that they take the fork in the road that leads to a dead end. "OK, here's number two... This is way too easy."
"Yeah, but that's not going to be nearly enough..." The sound of a woman whining makes Caster roll her eyes in frustration.
"...Damn, aren't we the greedy one? Hahaha! You guys are way too slow!" We'll see about that.
"Wow, those two are truly imbecilic..." I concur, I just hope there aren't any more like them in the future. There is another fork and I take the one that has a dead end since running over there and back shouldn't make us lose our place on this race.

-TREASURE FOUND-
I obtained some ... Pirate Booty.
"Yay! Treasure secured!" Due to their cockiness we were able to slip past them at the previous fork and now the rest of the treasures ahead are ours to keep.
Shinji, I'm sure, is cursing us right about now, "Damn, they're fast!"
"Tch, we've been passed." You've only just realized it, huh, pirate lady?
Caster takes my hand and we make our way through the maze. Oddly enough, the enemy programs avoid us as if we're the plague but attack Shinji and his Champion as if they're not. How fun, even these programs are helping us. "I am sure that they do not want to incur the wrath of breaking our bond," Caster holds up our connected hands. We happen upon another Item Folder in a room with two Caix programs.

-TREASURE FOUND-
I've obtained another Pirate Booty.
"Yay! Another treasure secured!"
"There's something fishy going on here! You're cheating, aren't you?" Shinji's starting to break down, from what I can hear.
Just as Caster was about to bring me to the final Item Folder, I stop her in place by refusing to move my legs. "Master?" Hey, Caster, what's say you that we fight them right now? "Seriously, Master? Are you sure that you want to?" Of course! I know that we can win this fight against them. I can feel that we definitely have the advantage here. I grip her hand. "Hmm... I'm not very sure..." Come on, it's to make up for what didn't happen yesterday... All right, fine. I put her hand on my chest and she gasps. You can feel how fast my heart is beating, right? Please, trust in me. Oh, she's getting red, it's probably because she's getting excited at the prospect of fighting those two. "...Since you seem so determined... And you rewarded me with something else, I believe that it's time to show them how much you've grown." Thank you, Caster. Also, what do you mean by som—
"Ack! Master, it's them!" She points over at the two figures who apparently just finished their latest enemy program.
The Champion tips her three-pronged hat, "Oh-ho, hello there. Let's have some fun!"
Surprisingly different from the reaction that his Champion is giving me, Shinji curses at the sight of me. "Crap... So Miku, you somehow managed to make it this far. Well, I have to give you kudos for keeping up with me. It's impressive, especially for one of the proletariat. But this is where your pathetic struggle will end. You've bumped into me, after all. Sorry, but it's game over, man! All right, get going Bounty Hunter. You got your treasure, so get to work!" His pointer finger aims at me as if he was demanding my head.
The pirate sighs as she readies her flintlock pistols, "Jeez, what a pain in the ass. And by the way, this miserable little pittance hardly qualifies as treasure. Oh well, as this is my job... No hard feelings little girl!"
Caster swoops in with her orb and the battle ensues. Even with the R.I.O.T blocking our vision ever so slightly, anyone could tell that Caster was winning against Rider. All of the pirates attacks were dodged and countered by the fox girl's spells. Her attacks are so elegant that it appears like she's dancing in the middle of the battlefield, while still conquering her opponent in this duel. After our three bouts, the R.I.O.T stops the battle.
Shinji angrily grunts as he grabs his arm, "N-no, not that! Damn it, how could I—Hey, don't get so cocky! Anyway this was a thousand year fluke! Rider! What in the hell were you thinking, losing like this? You were holding back, weren't you?"
The pirate lady pauses for a moment, probably thinking over her response. "Holding back? Of course I was."
"What?" Exasperation is all I can described Shinji being as at this point.
She sighs, "Even if I were to actually take this seriously, I did the best I could ... all things considered... At best, I'm just a hired gun. I can't do much more than what I'm told. And anyway, you haven't paid me yet."
He grabs onto her collar and shakes it rather violently"A-are you saying that it's my fault that you lost?"
Rider doesn't stir, rather she seems kind of aloof at this point. "Not exactly—But if that's how you see it, then maybe there's some truth in that regards? To be perfectly honest, I'm not really satisfied, but there's no need for you to worry about that, cherry boy! Running out of ammo because of someone's magical deficiency can't be helped, so I kind of expected this!"
"Sh-shut your hole, you trigger-happy bitch! We lost solely because of your recklessness! There's no way in hell you're better than me! You know that, right? RIGHT?" He's scratching at his head with both hands. Yes, he is definitely breaking down.
"Um, is it really a good idea to say stuff like that? Even in this form, I'm nothing more than a merchant. I won't mince words when something of value is at stake."
"Ugh... I-I'm not listening to you! Stop talking and let's get out of here. You'd better win next time!"
"Aye aye, roger wilco, and whatnot. Just be damn sure you have enough ammunition on hand, got it? Being in debt goes against everything I stand for." Shinji activates a return crystal and they disappear.
Caster relaxes, indicating that the two have officially left the Maze. I also calm down after the battle. Just when I do so, my heart rate gets sped up again because the fox girl decided to give me a very tight hug. "Yay! Master is so cool!" Yep, there's the attack from Caster. Hey, why don't we go looking for the last, uhh, Pirate Booty. After dueling with three Cluster Horns, we find the final item folder which happens to also be near the exit.

..."Hmm, the fact that we're not competing over this diminishes the fun, somewhat." I think I understand. Well, since we did what we needed let's go back home and celebrate our victory for tonight. "We managed to survive today, my dear Master."
"Tomorrow's the Elimination Battle, my dear Master! I'm gonna grind that jerk into paste! Uh, he'd be miso soup, then. Shinji Hackee soup..." Before Caster goes any further, disgust forms on her face as if she just ate something rotten. "Aaanyway, tomorrow let's review our information in our private room, before the Elimination Battle." As per usual, I check my terminal for today's status report.

Matrix KEYWORD
01:
02: Invincible Armada = The name given to the Bilgewater naval forces during the period of history known as the Age of Discovery.
The Invincible Armada consisted of an estimated 65,000 men serving on more than a hundred large warships, each of which weighed in at over 1,000 tons. Its might was such that it earned Bilgewater the reputation of being "The kingdom on which the ships will never set."
03: Logbook = The sailing logs of a renowned explorer who successfully circumnavigated the globe.
The logs themselves are illegible, with pages cracked and flaking. However, it seems that the author of these logs was a ship's captain who made their name as both an adventurer and fleet commander.

02: Maleficium = The Witchcraft that Caster uses is all physical phenomena performed with her own body. While common Magecraft are programs that "recompose what exists around", Witchcraft are programs that "recompose the raw materials in one's own body."
According to Caster's own words: "This time there is only one due to the constraints of the Moon Cell, but originally I could produce a million troops from my multiple tails!"
That is really suspicious though.

Matrix SKILL
01: Essence Theft [C] = A passive ability that activates whenever any of Ahri's champion abilities deal damage, causing her to gain charges of Essence Theft. Each target that was dealt damage will provide 1 charge, up to a maximum of 3 per ability. Upon reaching 9 stacks, her next ability will consume the charges to gain 35% spell vamp when it deals damage.
Essence Theft is not expended if her next ability doesn't hit an enemy unit.
Spirit Rush's 3 separate casts are considered as individual spell casts; it is therefore possible to gain 9 charges by only activating Spirit Rush.
Essence Theft cannot be charged or consumed with her summoner spells or items' active effects.
When Essence Theft has 9 stacks, Caster's orb becomes green.

Let's go to sleep, Caster. I think we're both tired here, so yes, let's do all the thinking tomorrow. Good night.
A/N: It's been a few weeks, but I'm still not done with the next chapter. It's mostly because I've been not writing it, but it's also the point where it departs from the source material and I have to think up some creative juices. Oh, well. I guess.
