Before we start, big thank you to Eden for reviewing and giving me moral support, hope you enjoy.
H City, China, 10:00 PM
"What do you mean you haven't seen him?" Su Mucheng exclaimed at Tang Rou and Bao Rongxing at the second floor training room of the XingXin net cafe.
"I'm sorry MuMu, but he hasn't been around here for ages, we thought he might've been back home or at B City." Tang Rou explained.
"Boss isn't here…" Bao Rongxing sighed, he would never forget the days of training and adventure he had gone through with Captain Ye Xiu.
"Did something happen to the captain?" Qiao Yifan asked from the corner of the training room, he was concerned about his captain for he was in debt of having his professional career saved by Ye Xiu.
"Well he went missing a few days ago, along with the Lord Grim account card." Su Mucheng started to explain.
"Don't worry MuMu, we can find him. Xiao Tang, check his online history, see when he last went online, if he went online within a couple of days, he should be fine." The owner of the XingXin net cafe- Chen Guo calmed, "It's Ye Xiu we're talking about, he should be fine."
"GuoGuo, you might not believe this," Tang Rou started, "but 'Lord Grim' is now non-existent in the Divine Realm or the tenth server."
"How come?" Chen Guo replied.
"Says: player not found, please try again."
"Well he must've deleted the character to do that." Wei Chen, the oldest member of the team said as he entered the room, "He might have some big and shameless plan that he's plotting."
"He'd never do something like that, especially something that resembles you Wei Chen." Fang Rui- the team's Qi master taunted.
"My friend, you still have a lot to learn about trash talking." Wei Chen fired back.
"Hey guys, since we're all together, why don't we play some Glory together?" two voices at the back called. It was Luo Ji- summoner of team Xing Xin, and An Wenyi Cleric of Xing Xin.
Everyone smiled, it was true, they rarely had time to play Glory together anymore, they should do it, for old time's sake.
"Alright, get onto your accounts and meet at the Divine Realm: The Nest of Thieves."
Immediately, after logging on, they were spammed with messages like: "OMG OMG OMG! It's Tang Rou, the 1v3 Queen of Xing Xin." or "Holy! It's Luo Ji, the creator of the Demolition style of the Summoners." or even, "Isn't that An Wenyi, Cleric of Xing Xin, he's really good!"
Messages continued to float in their windows to the point where they had to mute the chat.
"God, messages like these are so annoying!" Wei Chen cried as he secretly noted down the ones that were complimenting him.
"That's Glory for you today old man." Fang Rui laughed wholeheartedly.
They played from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM in the morning, and finally decided to sleep, well, they fell asleep on the desks, including Chen Guo, who was only watching this happen.
The Next Morning:
"Wake up MuMu!" Tang Rou whispered in Su Mucheng's ear as she shook her gently.
"Five more minutes, I'm tired!"
"Seriously, you should." Fang Rui followed up for Tang Rou.
"Fine…" Mucheng yawned, as she noticed something she held in her hand. "A cannon!" she cried, as she dropped the weapon. "Oh my god! You guys look hilarious! What are you? Cosplaying your own characters?"
"Yes, a cannon, but look closer." Fang Rui ignored the last part of her speech.
Mucheng obeyed and inspected the cannon in shock, "It's Tun Ri (Devouring Sun)!"
"Yes, exactly. We are now our characters in Glory, but we need to figure out where we are." Wei Chen at the back added.
"Hmm… any suggestions?" Chen Guo asked.
"Let's get to somewhere where there are people, we are literally standing in the middle of a jungle!" Mo Fan, the team's Ninja who rarely spoke, ranted.
Everybody nodded in agreement.
"Hey guys, before we move on, I want to try something." Yifan stated, as he started closing his eyes. Slowly, a circle appeared on the ground.
"Oh my god, is that a ghost boundary?" Chen Guo squealed excitedly.
"I think so… I imagined it in my head, because if we were our characters, wouldn't we have the skills?" Yifan replied. But suddenly, from behind, a crackled voice called.
"Interesting creatures…" (You know him, I love him).
"Show yourself!" Luo Ji yelled, as they spun around to face their assailant.
From the bushes, walked a mysterious purple bug-like creature.
"What are you?" Wei Chen said in disgust, "Some kind of devolved version of the spiders at spider cave?"
"What? No! That is very offensive to me mister! I evolve, I do not devolve!"
"Explain yourself."
"I am Kha'Zix- The Voidreaver, I saw you three and thought you looked interesting."
"Hmm… Ok, Kha'Zix tell us where we are." Su Mucheng ordered.
"You are in the Kumungu jungles."
"What are the Kumungu jungles?"
"You actually don't know?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what Runeterra is?"
"No."
Kha'Zix cursed under his breath before asking, "Are you from China."
"Yes."
Kha'Zix was shocked for a second and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to someone you might know of."
"How can we trust you?"
"Please, there's ten of you and one of me, you have weapons and I have claws, what do you think will happen?" Kha'Zix ranted.
"I have a feeling Huang Shaotian would like this guy." Fang Rui turned to Wei Chen.
Wei Chen kept silent and ignored this insult and followed Kha'Zix to a small hut.
Everyone entered the hut and grabbed onto a crystal pillar in the center of the hut as Kha'Zix instructed. Soon, they were surrounded by a blue light and were teleported to the League of Legends.
League of Legends, 11:00 AM:
"Well, mind explaining how or why we came here?" Chen Guo asked.
"Teleportation, and someone you might know is here. Now enter." Kha'Zix responded.
Everybody followed Kha'Zix through the gates of the entrance and into the main hall.
Judgement happened really quickly for everyone, they easily passed as they didn't have shady pasts, and soon, they met him.
Ye Xiu, dressed as Lord Grim was in the cafeteria chatting with a few others until he saw them. His eyes widened at the sight, and slowly asked, "Team, is it you guys?"
"Yes!" Chen Guo and Su Mucheng exclaimed.
Everyone embraced the captain, like long-lost friends finally seeing each other.
"Hey Ye Xiu, you know them?" Caitlyn, who was sitting beside him asked.
"They're my team back in China." Ye Xiu replied.
"Oh…" Caitlyn replied shocked.
Everyone was excited about Ye Xiu's team, so everyone voted for Ye Xiu and his team to go against one other team.
"So, we'll need five from our team, and we'll be playing against five of them." Ye Xiu explained, "Your summoners will explain everything else."
"Summoners?" Luo Ji asked, clearly interested.
"What they call the people who they send us, the champions, onto the battlefield."
"Oh…" Luo Ji answered in comprehension.
"So, I'm going to decide the lineup, don't worry, even of you die on there, you resurrect at base after a period of time." Ye Xiu explained, "Ok, Xiao Tang, Mucheng, Yifan, An Wenyi and I will participate. Any questions?"
Everybody shook their heads as a sign of understanding.
The match started, the rules were explained to the newcomers and soon, everyone was set. Tang Rou went to the top lane, Su Mucheng and An Wenyi (who had luckily stayed as a man as his "Little Cold Hands" was a female character) went bot lane, Yifan was tasked with mid and Ye Xiu was in the jungle.
The game started off pretty normal, Tang Rou and Yifan helped Ye Xiu with his blue buff. An Wenyi warded the red buff and Su Mucheng was firing cannons into minions to obtain gold. Nobody on team Xing Xin was showing an ounce of their true strength yet but everyone on the opposing team was terrified. Caitlyn and Nami were in the bot lane, seeing Su Mucheng fire cannons told them one thing, she was nearly as dangerous as Ye Xiu. The Red team Garen was also having a hard time facing Tang Rou, as she was always able to charge up to him and deliver a few blows and block out his own. Yifan was against Lux, Lux was trying to observe what Yifan was doing, but all he did was use some basic attacks to kill minions. As for Ye Xiu, he was farming up his jungle pretty fast, he was against Jarvan the fourth, his farm was way ahead of the prince. By the end of his third clear, his whole jungle was warded by himself, there was no "blind spot" anywhere.
Soon, after fifteen minutes first blood was awarded to Yifan in the mid lane, as Lux was murdered viciously and effortlessly by Yifan and his boundaries. Dark, ash and silence boundaries put down at once, caused Lux to get bursted down by Yifan. Next up was Tang Rou, she finished off Garen with her circle swing, skystrike and dragon tooth. Su Mucheng got a double kill shortly after. Ye Xiu found Jarvan and simply destroyed him without a second thought. The score was Blue team- 5, Red team- 0.
The game continued as everyone on the blue team proceeded to destroy the red team. Even An Wenyi, the team's weakness, started focusing on dealing damage rather than actually healing. Holy flames were flying everywhere in the bot lane and cannonballs were fired from long distances. Both sides did not surrender yet, but the outcome was already crystal clear when the score was 15- 0. The Blue team deliberately did not destroy any turrets but continued to protect their own.
By 20 minutes into the game, everyone watching the game was in pure horror of what these few were doing. The Red team had decided to walk in a group, but almost if they had saw this coming, everyone on the blue team started to group and started to scout for the Red team, it wasn't long before the two teams met. In a matter of seconds, Lux, Garen and Jarvan had been slaughtered by Tang Rou and Yifan. Caitlyn and Nami tasted the devastating power of Su Mucheng's Barbeque of bullets and her renowned delivery gun, and soon, they dropped down as well.
"Should we stop and start ending the game or keep murdering them?" Ye Xiu asked his team, which made the decisive decision to keep murdering them over and over. Blue team slayed the Infernal Drake and the Cloud Drake and returned to base.
"You know what, how about we give them five minutes to catch up and after that we murder them and end the game." Ye Xiu suggested.
"No problem." Tang Rou said as she wiped the blood off her spear: Dancing Flames Spreading Fire.
"Mucheng, An Wenyi?" Ye Xiu twisted his neck towards them while asking.
"I love hearing them scream!" Mucheng exclaimed jokingly.
"Sounds fair." An Wenyi stated his opinions and kept silent.
"Yifan…" Ye Xiu stopped, for Yifan was in the corner laughing like a maniac. 'He needs moral support.' Ye Xiu thought before lying down on the floor.
'Olivia.' Ye Xiu called in his mind to the summoner, who luckily was in charge of summoning him again.
'Yes?' The timid voice replied.
'Tell the opposing team they have five minutes before we start slaughtering them again.'
'Understood.'
Five minutes later:
"Well," Ye Xiu stood up, "time for another round of slaughtering."
The blue team cheered (Yifan continued to laugh crazily) as they set off, the whole team, to the mid lane where their inhibitor turret had just been destroyed.
Caitlyn stood still in terror, as she watched Ye Xiu use his charge and arc flash step towards her. Two shots from Ye Xiu's umbrella was all it took, and she had been taken down. Lux was next as she tried to root Ye Xiu, but was countered by Ye Xiu's "Reinforced Iron Bones" and swiftly, Ye Xiu's cutthroat killed her. Jarvan the Fourth was next, as he tried to fight with Tang Rou, but was surprised that her spear spat flowing flames and burned him alive, he was dead in a matter of seconds. Garen tried to be useful and take out An Wenyi, but An Wenyi- the cleric, had a few tricks hidden up his sleeve, he used Sacred Fire and Holy Commandment Light and ran as his team stabbed their weapons into his stomach, killing him as well. Finally Nami went down, as Su Mucheng fired her Laser cannon at Nami, burning her down to ashes.
"Was that necessary?" Ye Xiu questioned Su Mucheng.
"Don't you think it looks more flashier?" Mucheng smiled and responded.
"True." Ye Xiu chuckled.
The game ended quick enough with every member of the blue team running down the mid lane and destroying the Nexus. The final score was Blue team: 100, Red team: 0. (To be fair since Ye Xiu's Thousand Chance Umbrella has 12 states, he can play all five positions; and to be fair, they had strategy, experience and the element of surprise, there was practically no reason to lose.) Every summoner and champion felt a chill down their spine. Not from the score itself, but from the words that came out of the winners' mouths as they came back from the field.
"Let's face it, that wasn't even near 10% of what we are capable of." Ye Xiu explained to the crowd before him, "Tang Rou, Yifan and An Wenyi haven't even used their ultimate moves, I was hardly trying, Mucheng only used one of her ultimates for show. If I were you, I'd find someone that can compare to us. Even under your best performances, it would be impossible to beat us."
"Hey, that's a bit rude you know?" Jayce yelled, "At least try to say it nicely!"
"Oh okay, fine! I'll tell my summoner to set up the field and we'll fight there how's that sound…"
Suddenly Ye Xiu went silent, the whole room was silent, everybody knew Jayce would definitely be inferior to Ye Xiu in skill and tactics.
"I'm sorry, that was quite rude of me. It was my bad. I was just thinking about China and Glory. It feels so long before I faced an opponent." Ye Xiu apologized.
"I- it's ok, I understand what it feels like to be talked to and having people think they understand you." Jayce replied, stammering.
The mood was awkward, until a voice broke it. "I've completed it!" It was Heimerdinger, the revered inventor. The Yordle came dashing in holding a mechanical crystal. It was gray in color and was intact with multiple pieces of machinery.
"What is that?" Vi questioned.
"It's a teleportation device that links Runeterra to this other dimension universe called Earth!"
