Chapter 5: Painkiller

Roc stands before the two falling from the sky. Roc immediately notices one of them, "Pandora…?" he ask. The other person looked familiar from some time and place, but he was hard to see because of his hood. He looked older than Roc by multiple years, "I would love to stay here and fight, but it seems like you two have some catching up to do. Chao" he says as he goes flying of into the distance with booster packs that were used for extreme jumping in the military of The Order. Pandora responds back, "Roc…" she says in a somewhat irritated voice. She cracks her fingers, "Anything else you want to do thats above the ordinary?" she ask angrily. Pandora was a schoolmate of Roc, and simply put it she was the best at everything and there was no question to it. The gauntlets were half the size of Vi's and only were meant to go around her forearm and hand, but were not flat to her body. Her boots were the same size as any normal pair of boots, of course this one is mechanical. She has long blonde hair, perfect face, and wears only a military uniform with her mechanical gauntlets and boots which must be her power. Roc ask back, "What is your quarrel with being the best at everything? You had the praise of everyone. Most popular, smartest, prettiest if I may add-" Pandora only gives a stern look for the last comment. "You had it all. So why throw it away?" he ask. She smirks as one of her gauntlets start to shake, "Because you were the worst the world had to offer, but yet you became way better than me after you discovered your rune. So see, i'm now going to prove you what it really is like to have power that you are not given!". Pandora left boot lets down a pad as her foot comes up and she boost of at Roc extremely fast. Roc bends over to the point where his body was making a ninety degree angle. Pandora flies right past him, but of course in her head she knew he would pull something like that since she still thinks he's dumb. Thats partially true about some things, but she was going to learn that soon. Her gauntlets start to spread out and shoot a pulse charge in front of her at the perfect angle where she would break Roc's legs. Roc sees this from the angle he was at and jumps in the air in a slant way. Pandora misses him, but was prepared for the moment. This time she flips herself in mid air and points her gauntlets to the ground, but this time the pulse charged looked way more powerful than last time. She blows up the ground and flies up towards the sky as a large portion of the ground is destroyed and Roc is caught in the debris. Roc really was out of energy after his fight with Dante, but he had to make do with the energy he had. He brings his hands together makes the form of a circle in his hands, and then as he feels the energy coming together, he moves his arms with the circle he created. He focused for a manipulation of the area for a zero gravity zone to keep the debris from being to chaotic. As Pandora changes her stance from flying upwards with her feet to the sky to falling back down to the ground with her feet. She notices how the rocks are moving slowly, she thought it was due to her body overloading itself. Roc comes from out of the debris and grabs Pandora's boots. In first reaction she uses the pulse shot to kill Roc, but then she noticed the disorientation of the gravity and saw that he was moving her towards the debris. Roc moves in time before the pulse fire and Pandora goes flying into the debris. Roc lets go of the zero gravity field and falls to the ground safely. He lands on a knee, as he waits for Pandora to get up he thinks about what he has noticed. Pandora's gauntlets and boots shoot pulse shots, they are meant to do massive splash damage. She is biologically improved in some way, since the way her body is moving is insane for a normal person to be doing. Yet alone any human in the first place. He knows that she is still alive and most likely is going to be really hard to stop. Suddenly during that moment Roc is uppercutted by Pandora from the ground. The only thing he noticed was how she didn't charge a shot with her gauntlet, that was the only reason his head wasn't taken of his body.

During the whole time Roc took to think about Pandora's abilities, Pandora easily recovered from her fall and started to dig furiously from the ground. Until she was at the point that her geometry was correct to be Roc's position from where he fell. She punched up from her position and cleanly hit Roc who went flying.

Roc looks up to see Pandora to start to charge a final pulse charge, Roc thought this was the end. Suddenly the pulse charge disappeared and Pandora started coughing up blood, "Why do you get so lucky…?" she says as she hits the floor cold. Roc forces himself up and walks over to Pandora, he checks her heart rate and there was still a pulse and it sounded normal. Roc decides to spare Pandora since he believes that she can change, at least some day.

A man walks up to Roc. Roc looks up to see a man with single covered eye with red cloth, matching the rest of his red clothes. He was obviously from New Shurima from the way he looked. "Young one, spread the news of a cease fire immediately" the man ask of Roc. Roc only ask back "Who are you?". The man had turned his head, "A runic man, like yourself. Do your assigned new orders. We shall talk later, I promise that with my life" the man walks forwards as he looks for someone important. Roc had learned a lot today already, such as they needed to cause a disturbance to attract The Order's first attack on Valoran, Roc was given a spell so that he would figure out his purpose for his anger, and that now there was a cease fire being called. He felt like his head was frying from information that made no sense, but that's a normal with Roc. Roc runs off to find people to spread the word of the cease fire.

The flames of battle wage on as Dante fights Train, being at serious disadvantages for many reasons he already knew of from the first time he fought Train. Dante was completely powerless to Train's armor that made him as durable as a tank. This wasn't the first time the two have clashed, but there was one fact that was true. Dante was on an extreme disadvantage since Train has no weak points, and it is almost impossible to put a dent in him. It isn't Trains armor that makes him so powerful, but it's his ability to use magnetism to his advantage which allows him to be untouchable and a tank at the same time. Train part took in magic, and is the second most skill full with magic, behind Roc, in Conqueror. This is not what his rune's power is, since it is what makes him way more powerful.

Train charges out with his huge shield that looks like the front of a train which is where he got his nickname. Dante dodges this, but Train recovers fast and charges at him again. Then again… And again… but then, when he turns around to charge again, he instead walks to the right as two large cannons come out of the shield and start firing at Dante. Dante dodges three of the shots until being nearly struck by the final shot. His ears ring with blood, as he feels dizzy as his vision is blurred.

During the battle, many men and robots had fallen during the fight, since Piltover were using there machined war to fight back against The Order. Train shows off his runic abilities, since it was the only way he was going to beat Dante. The rune of animation of life. Train animates the robots with life again, and animates the dead to fight for his side. Zombies were a big thing for movies, video games, and plenty other things. But people might want to change their mind as they see their own comrades rising from the dead. Piltover soldiers turn to shoot at their comrades as they come to realization that they weren't themselves and were just dead corpses. But wherever they shot at the bodies, it didn't matter, whether it was the heart, the neck, or the brain, the soldiers continued to operate and use their weapons to kill off the soldiers fighting them off. People tried to control their machines again, but it wasn't working since they were broken and were only being manipulated.

Train feels a sword stab him, but this sword wasn't any normal sword. It was Dante's own demonic energy, in the form of a sword. Train was only stabbed slightly, his armor was extremely tough in the first place. Dante notices this, and begins to tear apart the armor. He is stopped by Train himself, by being hit with Train's shield. Soldiers begin to fall as they start to be blown apart, set on fire, or even were frozen with liquid nitrogen. Train was starting to loose the battle.

A building blows up behind Train, and a man steps out from the flames. Everyone sees as the dark figure jumps onto the battlefield. "Train, leave. Your job here is done" the man says who is face down with his hood up says coldly. "To stop me from a fight in progress, hmph. I will enjoy watching you die" Train says. Train walks away with his shield on his back. Dante's hands start to clench furiously as they start shake as his veins pop out, "Rex…". Rex lifts his head up and lifts up his mechanical militarized goggles, "Long time no see buddy, so hows crawling on the streets whilst I am a military commander?" he says in a playable voice. "I… Will fucking kill you. I WILL BE YOUR DEATH!" at the last sentence Dante says, his voice went completely demonic as the same fires of hell consume him. Quickly, with zero fear, Rex takes out his assault rifle and takes a shot at Dante's forehead. It hits Dante's and shatters into a million pieces. The flames of his rage increase significantly. Dante laughs like a mad man corrupted with power as it overwhelms him. "HELLFIRE!" he says as he unclenches his hands to the ground. A ring of fire comes from his position and destroys a large amount of area around himself. Rex uses his jet booster to get away from the wave of fire. Rex then takes an electrical grenade and throws it at Dante, exploding and harming Dante slightly as he roars into the city. Rex points his finger out like a commander as an army of rats come to attack Dante. His main rat hides under his hacking watch, which is his home, and basically Rex's best friend. Dante is attacked by rats as they start to bite off his flesh and muscle. Dante enraged, puts his hands into prayer position as his flames turn red. Suddenly the ground rips open and a hulking creature walks out. From the mythical legends of cerberus, a creature looking like that, but rather with volcanic lava flowing through it, like a demonic hound, with large fiery horns. Being the size of summoners rift, the creatures large fiery metal and scaly face roars into the sky as ashes and cinders fall from the sky from the demonic creature's roar as it's four eyes per head glared into the battle.

Rex boost back, jumping from building to building until he got to a very tall tower. His gun transforms into what looks to be a cross bow. He pulls out a bolt from his sleeve, quickly stringing it, and took aim. His aim stared at Dante's heart on top of the demonic beast. He takes his breath in and pulls the trigger. Dante saw this coming and commanded cerberus to slash in the direction. This slash caused the bolt to fly in a different direction from the pure amount of power it had for an attack. Rex sees this and understands that Dante was being protected very well by the beast. Before Rex can even react Dante had climbed through a portal from hell with the bolt in hand. He whips it at Rex and it explodes. The bolt was an bolt designed to stun and EMP the area around there. Rex laid on the building being unable to do anything. Dante pulls out a sword from another portal from hell. The weapon glazed in fire looked like a very blunt sword that was more about it's width rather than sharpness. Along with that it had many red vein like structures that curled around Dante's hand. He puts two hands on the weapon and flips it to sink it straight into Rex. In the moment Dante is hit by water that fell from the sky like a god summoned it. Cerberus fell back into hell, and Dante fell unconscious to the ground. The man who seemed to stop this, had his hood up as he walked from the roof escape of the building and picked up Dante like an injured child. Rex saw the mans blue arms, even had some scales. Before Rex can say anything, the man speaks to him, "I've never met quite the imbecile like you. Too bad I cannot release your soul from flesh…". Rex stares in fear, fear he has never felt before as the man looked him in the eye, his face had gills for cheeks, eyes that looked like a sharks when it was ready to feast, teeth sharper than any sharks either and not to mention the saliva on the edge of his lips just to show his quench for hunger, his spiked up black hair that questioned if he was human or not even more, and lastly just the sheer look he gave was enough to rupture any mans soul when he moved his cloak up to look at Rex. "It's a shame I can't kill you… really" he says as he turns and walks away with Dante.

Judge and Strauss only circle each other until one makes a move; Judge chose to do this since Strauss started doing it, instead of Judge's approach to a charge at first. The circling goes on to a point where one would say that the battle was just two men staring each other down till one falls. Until finally the two almost vanish and collide in the center of their circling. Judge's electric rocket-hammer collide with Strauss's wrist blade connected to a metal wrist with a watch like Rex's, just much more futuristic. Judge's speed is only due to his suit, giving him the power to move quickly in a large suit of armor. Judge stares into Strauss's eyes, the only part of him that is still to be seen as flesh. They look numb, like the way he speaks now of days. Combat changes men from who they once were, proved by Strauss and Judge's endless battling. Strauss lets out a lasher and strikes Judge. Judge blocks the attack with a shield that pops out of his suit. Judge jumps back, "Why do we fight so simply, there is really no point to hold back by this point". Judge lets out his hand, and being opposite of life with Train, he is the bringer of death. He withers Strauss who feels almost slightly no difference due to him only needing to fight in and from his suit, which meant no physical strain. All though that, Judge looked almost like Dante when he brought out his demonic side. A dark aura swarmed him as his eyes were only a glimmering light of orange that shinned brightly in the darkness that surrounded him. Judge felt from a distance to Strauss, much more powerful. Suddenly Strauss's entire suit lit up as the earth rumbled. A ferocious looking metal beast comes from the ground. The mechanical beast almost represented a bear, of complete metal. Judge does not pay attention to the machine, rather he pays attention to the cyborg being Strauss. His suit posses a different threat when charged up. It meant that he was using his lightning abilities of lightning. Suddenly something happens that surprises Judge beyond belief. Strauss's suit just jumped off him and attached to the machine. Strauss's advantage was his suit to Judge's rune, why did he choose to take it off. Judge had never seen Strauss outside his suit before. But nothing had surprised him from Strauss's human self. Rather than his dark blue metal suit, Strauss looked like a sixty year old man. His long white beard that was only growing off his chin and shaved head, his face looked like it had seen many battles before, and his scarred body only perfected who he was. His suit looked like he was wearing only some mechanical body compared to his real body. He smiles at Judge with the smile of power overwhelming him. "Harold, you wonder why I stay behind that suit. It was due to the fact my skills were to powerful to be handled non-recklessly. Well, this was your idea in the first place…" the machine runs off as Strauss gets into a martial art position with a fist out and a fist in. "So allow me to show you the true extent to my powers". Judge had just realized that he had used his ability on the suit rather than Strauss. That's why he chose to fight without his suit. Judge was just put in check, but it wasn't mate yet. Strauss put an arm out in a martial art position. His fist let up with his palms out towards Judge, "You can't win this fight" he says calmly. Judge charges at Strauss to attack immediately, but suddenly Strauss had disappeared from Judge. Like a flash of lightning Strauss was right behind Judge with a fist full of lightning. Judge takes the blow and goes flying from the direction of Strauss. Hitting the ground multiple times from gravity, he finally stops and gets back on his feet. Judge holds out his hammer with two hands so that it was pointing towards the sky. Suddenly the sky brightens up, and a golden hammer falls from the sky at horrifically fast pace. Strauss only looks like he took a step as he dashes forward quickly to the side and dodges the hammer. The hammer explodes with golden light behind Strauss, as the force of the explosion does not shake the man. "Young paladin, you were trained to defend the king. Do you not realize who the king was then? Since there was no king. But now who is the king you ask? It is only but a young paladin that has not learned his purpose in life. To bad we didn't meet on good terms. So young paladin, show an old monk what is power these days" Strauss says with absolute peace in his mind. Judge suddenly sees electricity fill the air, and fill over Strauss. Strauss's many tattoos started to show purpose as they lit up his body. Strauss's eyes lit with fury, anger, insanity… He flashed in an instant and kicked up fluttering his foot as the rest of his body started to flip backwards as he kicked Judge in the chin up. Strauss changes his body motion and flips forward kicking straight down to the ground, this was obviously not humanly possible; but in Strauss's case, is it really worth questioning him. Now he kicks to the right before Judge can hit the ground keeping them both in mid air. Then another kick, but from the left. Judge wasn't going to let the fight be so one sided for so long. Judge, still with hammer in hand, slams the ground with it. The ground crunches completely as the electricity sparking out of the hammer disappeared and was replaced by an amber-golden glow. Strauss flies back and lands on his feet being surprised that Judge could still fight. Judge now takes his hammer and hits the ground with it, keeping it faced toward the sky with two hands on it. Strauss then sees the extent of Judge's power. A holy angel, glimmering in gold surrounds Judge. The angel is fully gold aura, and was huge, towering over Judge. The body was about twice as big as Judge's large height and form, whilst the wings were the size of two separate houses. "Do not underestimate me Strauss! By the way of the holy nights, I have the power to defeat you!" Judge said aloud. Strauss got back into position, ready to fight, but Judge was faster than lightning itself. The wings of justice flexed out, shooting out barrages of pure golden energy for feathers. They were barraging Strauss extremely quickly. Strauss kept dodging them all with ease, but Judge was fully prepared. The arms of the angel went out straight out to it's sides, then swung to the middle. This created a mass dispel of all types of abilities, including the barrier that no normal fighter should've known about that Strauss put up to be able to move so fast. Strauss slowed down and noticed the barrier was gone, the fight was starting to go south fast. Strauss connects his thumb and index finger together on each hand, and kept his other fingers as normal with the right hand closer to his body as his left hand straight out. His shoulders were pressed out this time and both hands were out rather than his other position where one arm is in and another out. His footing was the same, but this was so quick that only someone like Judge was able to notice. He picks up the right hand to the sky and slashes diagonal to his hip. Lightning strikes out cutting through all the barrage shots at Strauss and hit Judge. The attack was simply not strong enough, and Judge had suffered no injuries from the attack thanks to the angel. Suddenly he noticed the sky had turned black and Strauss was absorbing all the energy. Stauss's body now looked much different than the last time electricity flowed around him. This time his and electricity was one, his eyes glowed blue from the electricity. His smile showed his passion for battle, as his beard went static from the electricity. He puts his right arm above his head as he flips over his arm with the same fingering as his hands turn into sword like structures of pure electricity. He charges it up longer than a normal attack, Judge also begins to power his strongest attack. If he lost, he was going to use his trump card, but he knew that the ability would not be something to be simply reckoned with. The angel put it's hands in prayer position, it's wings turned into arms. Strauss takes a step forward, "Seiryu's and Ryu-o!" Strauss screams out as his final ability. Judge shouts out his as well since it was fully charged, "Ten Thousand Fist of Justice!". The angel lights up with the other arms come together to the center of all the arms to make an immense ball of golden energy in Judge's hand. Strauss shoots out a twin double electric dragon, and Judge a piercing gold light of energy in the form of ten thousand fist. They both collide. The explosion was heard from everywhere on Runeterra. It left the entire area destroyed and was going off for a while.

Ten minutes later, Judge on the ground tries to stand up as ash completely fills the air. Strauss had his right arm out with two fingers out. "Any last words-" Strauss ask, but is cut off by a summoning circle. Instantly their both teleported on their feet to Kolminye. The entire battle was ended. Many league members stood around, same as both sides that surrounded the two men. Two men stood next to Kolminye, "We are calling for peace between all factions of Conqueror. May we discuss?" Kolminye ask. Judge and Strauss meet eyes and nod noticing Kolminye's power, Judge speaks, "Both of our forces call a truce, let us go discuss on peace". Kolminye snaps her fingers and the three disappear after a summoner circle.

Judge and Roc walk out from the League's infirmary, Judge turns to Roc who is looking down at the ground. "Kiddo, he's gonna be fine. The doc said it was temporary" Judge says. Roc looks up with his mopey face, "Yeah, and maybe when he wakes up again, he'll run off somewhere else…" he says with agitation in his voice. Judge puts his arm around his shoulder, "You're extremely naive for 23 year old, you honestly act like your 18, maybe 16. Plus you look like it as well" Judge says with a chuckle as Roc grinds his teeth together. They walk down the halls silently for a while. They finally make it to a corridor, "Time to go our separate paths, get some rest while I clear up some-" Judge says calmly, but Roc blurts out, "Train me Judge so that I can be more powerful than Dante!" he shouts out. Judge sighs, "Again with the 16 year old thing. I'll teach you some things about being a paladin once you find your angelic rune, only then can we learn about your new profound powers". Judge walks away as Roc shouts out, "Really now, you seem like you want to teach me so much when your walking away from me!". "16!" he shouts back at Roc.

Roc clenches his fist tightly, "On a quest to become more powerful than your friend?" Roc turns around to see the man that he met after his battle with Pandora. He grunts with a smile, "Hmph, your not wise enough to become powerful at all. If I handed you all the power in the world, you'd loose your mind, sanity, way of life, and most importantly go mad with power. I think the world would be much more peaceful if that didn't happen". Roc sighs, but is extremely interested in who this masked man is… "Who are you?" Roc ask. He removes his bandages all over his face, revealing his left eye with a stab wound made long ago, shaking out his black hair out. Roc had never seen such a handsome man in his life, this was the man he was striving to be, every day of his entire life. "Call me Sandman one with the power of the divine angels and the power of the earth itself" he bows on a knee, "My gratitudes" this was defiantly the man Roc wants to be, he looks like the man in the movies or even a model. Roc questioning how this man could possibly be such a warrior, yet he looks like an actor at the same time, is a question he'll know the answer to one day. Then Roc ask Sandman, "Roc's the name, nice to meet you Sandman". Sandman stands, "Nice to meet you. I already knew your name, I thought I should let you know that since you haven't known I could do that until now. Also I know your past as well, how you gained power and used it recklessly, in a good manor. So if you may be so wise, allow me to be a mentor of you" he ask in such a gentlemanly manor. "I only offer wisdom if you are wondering" Roc has no clue how this man has telekinesis. Sandman was looking at the ground when he said that, but then he looks up at Roc. Roc got lost in quite the intricate pattern of his eye, it looked like it was ever-changing. Roc could only imagine how it looked from Sandman's own sight, but the only way he could describe the eye, was that it was simply one of the most beautiful things he has ever seen. Roc nods his head, "Alright thats cool, so when do we start". Sandman's eye fades and goes back to normal. "Training? No, I simply wish to guide you on the right path" Roc tilts his head at him. Sandman takes a seat on a nearby bench, Roc does to as they talk about their past. "So… i'm guessing you already know my past…?" he ask quietly. "Of course, but I think you would be willing to hear my tale, wouldn't you?" Sandman ask back. Roc nods his head, Sandman closes his eyes and takes a breath in, "This is a tale between myself, and the devil, or per say this eye" Roc immediately becomes much more interested. "I was born into a very religious family, where simply you were banished from the family. We'll put it, I lost faith in our god and was kicked from a family. Immediately after I became a Bloodsand Raider, basically a bounty hunter. Later on the path of life, I left the organization to hunt down the ancient myth of an eye that granted powers of sight beyond any mortal's capability. Inspired by this, I took anything left that I found valuable to myself and left in search of the eye. Some told me I was crazy and that I was going to end up like the others who searched for the eye, dead. I didn't turn back being young and immature like yourself, I did not stop to embrace what I didn't understand. I finally made it to an ancient temple that lived an ancient ancestor from my family used to live. It was sacred land, no one was allowed to enter anymore, but that didn't stop my foolish self. I took step in the temple, and suddenly a triangle lit up on the wall. Suddenly I was attacked by many spirits, but I was already a skilled fighter with plenty of weapons at the time when I used to use daggers and knives to fight. The spirits left me alone in the temple alone. The triangle lit up again. Instead of backing off like a normal person, I walked to the triangle. At the throne of my ancestor was him himself, I don't know how but he sat right there. Suddenly I heard foot steps behind me. Some man had followed me and let me get past the traps. He got the jump on me and stabbed me in the eye" he says pointing at his eye. "The man died to a blade of mine, but I had lost sight in one of my eyes. The ancient man spoke words that I could not understand, as I turned around the sight of my un-stabbed eye looked like I was looking out of a triangle. Before disappearing into the sands, he said to me 'It's your time now, protect the world before it destroys itself' he said. As time moves on, we'll find out what it means. After gifted my new sight, I stayed in solitude in the temple for ten years practicing being a priest and a sage, learning the powers of my eye, and finally unlocking my rune of wind that was inside the temple once my training was complete. It's been two years since I left the temple, and i've became a legendary figure to my people. That's all there is to my story" Roc clapped his hands slowly. Suddenly another man walked up to the two of them, "Is that all, I grow patient of every second of you speaking to this child".

Roc notices the other man as the man who Sandman was staying with during the battle. Roc took some time to study them as they started to discuss unimportant conversation to him. Sandman and Shark from a distance are polar opposites, in almost every way. Sandman is a wise man who dresses in ancient robes, plain white with purple and red decorations on the edges. Sandman was in clothes other than that when Roc had first met him though, when he was in a red outfit looking like a bandit, or a thief. Those must've been his old clothes, back when he was raider and when he entered the temple. But on the other hand was Shark… Roc only knew his name from whispers around the league that he's heard. From already what he can tell, he has spilled plenty of blood for all his life. For someone who wears different skulls around his shoulder to his hip, you can just tell that he's a killer. The cloak that only covers his head tries to hide the blood thirsty smile across his face for his bloodlust, but that was now taken off showing his black hair that's just like Sandman's. Shark only has a pair of sandals on and a pair of shorts, cargo shorts like Brand to add on. The gills on his cheeks and his blue skin also really help show more of a shark than Shark really is.

"So your saying that we're participating in fake battles to decide fates. I know understand why to keep friends, they might as well introduce you to heaven" Shark says with his blood thirsty smile. Sandman nods his head, "Well, that was enough talk for the day. I shall get my rest. Until tomorrow fellow friends" Sandman says while walking away. Leaving only Shark and Roc alone together. Shark says before leaving, "What lies beneath you is a monster. So don't loose control, or i'll show you what a true monster is…" he says with a smile. Roc shakes in his head, Shark simple was a nightmare that was real. Roc just hopes Shark's on his side. Roc quietly walks to his room. The halls were silent and dead. As he entered his room and turned on the light, he noticed he was back to where he started, alone. He wondered if he would get to meet new friends at this place at all. Maybe, just maybe...

Judge walks to the tea shop in the institute of war. Strauss sits in the shop with a cup of tea for himself, and one for Judge across from him. He sits in robes that are plain white, with some blue stripes on the arms and the neck. Judge walks in the shop. Opening the door with the chimes of bells going off, he notices how there is very little people in there. He takes his seat across from Strauss. Judge wore simple clothes, white shirt and pants, the man was really not in the mood to change into something nice. The first thing Judge ask when he sits down is, "You have a stunt double, right?" Strauss nods his head. Judge waves his hand, "Explain?" he ask for Strauss to move forward with the topic. "The stunt double is a robot. The inside is hollow so that if I need to make an appearance, I can be there instantly" Strauss adds on. Judge takes a drink of the tea. He had no clue what flavor it was, "The tea is dragonfruit tea, my favorite kind". "Harold, i've told my entire army to call an end to the rampage I have created. I've found someone who can lead Conqueror, my work is done" Judge had an idea to what he was saying. Strauss continued to speak as Judge was lost in thought, "After that fight, I saw your conviction, power, and strength that is meant for a true leader. I feel redeemed, and I noticed that I fell away from who I really am. I will stay with this institute of war until we figure out the rest of the holders of the two runes remaining" Strauss stands, "My regards-". Judge stands, "It was an honor fighting you Strauss" Strauss looks at Judge nods his head and walks out the door back to his room. Judge remembers back to the meeting, he doesn't have a clue whats on Strauss mind. All he knows is that the terror that was feared a millennia ago is coming to haunt Runeterra again soon, and that Strauss was more than prepared for whatever was coming next.

Dante stares at the demon lord, he knew that he was conscious again and that this had to be with his rune. The demon looked at him for a good minute. Then he spoke, "Your fall will be due to you falling to darkness…" the giant demon disappeared. A man stood in front of him, he wore a large black cape that went from his legs to his nose, buckled around his neck. "Dante, I am your ancestor from a millennia ago. Being the ancestors of the new rune holders, I gave myself more time to talk to you. So in this time I must explain things that are important-" Dante starts to ask the questions, "Before I be quiet for your explication, explain the Deathblows to me" the man looks at Dante with his red eyes with countless lines around his eyes, his long black hair falls to his legs. It wasn't a question that the man was related to Dante. He closes his eyes, "The Deathblows was a clan that I created that was a rebellion army against Conqueror. The ancestor of the man you know as Roc was not a good man, even for an angel, he used his power for whatever means he wanted. He only wanted angels to dominate, but you and Roc are special. You two might change the fate of what the angels and demons created so long ago. Now I must explain everything" Dante sits and nods his head. "Go back to the Deathblows hide out, open the storage room. Since you are blood of the leaders of the clan, you can open the door. What is beyond the door is everything you need to learn from, and for your arsenal of weapons, a prize that you may claim is my gun" He pulls out a revolver, it has three barrels and three chambers. The gun was dressed in many designs, it was a weapon Dante wanted. The man adds on, "Stay with Roc, if you plummet into darkness, he will be the one to pull you out" Dante goes back to what the demon lord said. The man instantly dashes into Dante with the gun to his head, "Wake up now".

The gun shot rings in Dante's ears as he wakes up in a hospital bed. He grabs a raggedy black cloak that belonged to him, he hand no clue where the rest of his stuff went, but time was of the essence. He threw on pants and shoes and runs for Conqueror. It was his chance to finally find out the mystery that was himself...

History of the Villains (Excluding the new ones)

Rex's name is based of him being the king of rats, since he had ratted out the Deathblows causing their demise and gaining Dante's hatred. Being a former member of the Deathblows, he only was in the job for the pay, and only cares about himself and his rat buddies. Mainly he uses guns, blades, technology (hacking), and his rats to get the job done.

Pandora is a woman that was at the same academy Roc went to as a child. Roc was a simple minded kid, Pandora by her name, was perfect and excellent at every subject, appreciated by all peers and teachers, and talented at everything. But greed got to her when she wanted more than that, and joined Strauss's cause to gain powers above any mortal achievement. She is perfect at all combat, relies on her mechanical gauntlets and boots, plus her enhanced body.

Sephtis is a male name that means eternal death, but this character just so happens to be female. She is one of the three remaining members of the Deathblows, and is a lot like Pandora in being perfect at being an assassin. After getting the rune of reptilian blood, she uses her powers to find worthy opponents to fight, since she feels no one is an equal match for her anymore since she suffers from PTSD after loosing what she considered her only family being Deathblows. Fights with a single sword (Katana).

Jupiter, the King of Gods, is quite the name to take after a roman god. After being exiled by the religious faction of Rupture, for his "New" religious beliefs being against Rupture. He acclaimed his rune of the weather, but this isn't the only means to his power which remains a mystery. Now, Jupiter attempts throne for the leader of the world with his profound powers.
