Ezreal didn't really understand what he saw when he walked into the room where he and Vi heard the scream from.
Honestly, what was in front of him was something that he didn't normally deal with in his joke of a life or experience as an explorer.
What was in front of him you ask?
Well, it was Nocturne, who was already strange by himself, but he seemed… darker maybe? More sinister, if that was possible.
"Nocturne" seemed to be about to attack the woman who tried to get him to jail, before Vi jumped in without any hesitation to attempt to attack the specter.
"Nocturne" paid no mind, ignoring Vi as she loss all momentum and fell to the floor, clutching her chest, panting heavily as if she was hyperventilating.
Ezreal froze instantly, needing to rationalize what to do in this situation since Vi, someone who packs much more of a punch than him even without her metal arms, just got easily defeated by what seemed to be Nocturne, but a bit off.
Instantly realizing that he'll either be affected by Nocturne's fear if he gets too close and that he'd be pretty much intangible to physical attacks anyways, Ezreal charged up a Mystic Shot straight at Nocturne who seemed to just be draining both the women's energy instead of attacking.
Caught surprised by the attack, having been more focused on the 2 people in the room and not expecting a 3rd, the spectral being was forced back by the magical energy, hissing as he looked directly at the source of the attack.
Ezreal blinked.
"Well, I was smart enough to not rush in headfirst, but I still managed to be just dumb enough to attack the nightmare fuel without any plan." Ezreal said as "Nocturne" instantly moved towards him, the woman and Vi seemed to have calmed down as the attention was taken off of them.
Ezreal instantly dashed, deciding to hopefully be able to run towards somewhere with someone that can help him.
Too bad Nocturne was always one of the faster champions able to easily catch up to Ezreal easily, picking him up as his nightmares flashed through his mind.
Piltover burning because he was out exploring, unable to protect it.
His friends sprawled across the land.
Jayce with his Mercury Hammer broken, lying on his back as his lab was destroyed all around him.
Vi, crippled, both of her arms were missing, her face was in an expression as if she saw something sadder than the loss of both of her arms.
Heimerdinger, the poor yordle, all that was left of him was his head, a bloody mess was all that you can see.
Corki, all that can be seen was his airship, in pieces as he was nowhere to be found, no traces of the old yordle that Ezreal had grown accustomed to seeing every once in awhile.
Ziggs, the crazy bomber who's explosive personality always made Ezreal smile, pieces of him were everywhere, ironically, they seemed to have been his own bombs as his signature smile was etched into the earth.
Orianna in pieces, her parts still seemed to be functioning, but that was a fate worse than death.
Even the residence of the bar he always go to, Twisted Fate, Riven, Sivir, Gragas, Jax, etc. they all seemed to have lost their color, drained and weakened as they looked almost ghostly.
Then there was one of his closest friends, Caitlyn. Oh god, what happened to her? She seemed to have had her insides torn out, own rifle stuck in her shoulder, with a look that pretty much showed how her last moments were of her begging, pride broken.
"NO!" Ezreal mentally yelled, but to no avail, he went through more images of his friends' death. Lux, Teemo, Thresh and even Garen.
There was nothing stopping the nightmares from going on in his mind, he was unable to save them. They were all dead and he wasn't there to save them.
"HASAGI!" Ezreal heard in somewhere in the back of his mind, as he instantly snapped out of the nightmare, seeing a menacing Nocturne in front of him, feeling a strange, but familiar signature from him.
Nocturne was suddenly hit by a fast and blinding tornado, blowing him away.
Ezreal looked in the direction of his savior, already knowing who it was.
Yasuo stood in the same position of when he sent out his tornado to blow Nocturne away.
Yasuo breathed heavily, having just woken up and looking around to see a dark creature holding up a young blonde boy by his shirt, with him seemingly unable to fight back.
Realizing it was Nocturne attacking Ezreal, he instantly sent out a tempest to repel Nocturne, which promptly made him let go of Ezreal and get blown away.
Ezreal regained his composure, looking rather pale, before he realized who his savior was.
Blinking, it didn't take long for him to talk.
"Yasuo! You're awake!" He exclaimed, regaining his composure as Yasuo stared at him, realizing that he was seeing him through some kind of visor that told him everything about Ezreal.
Shaking his head, he took a look at his hands. He was covered in some type of metal suit…
His mind flashed back to a scientist suiting him up, before there was an explosion. One where Zed who was also in the program with him caused.
Weird that a ninja was the one to cause the explosion. Oh well.
Remembering what had awoken him and a fellow champion being saved, he looked over at Ezreal.
"Yes I am, where am I and why was Nocturne attacking you?" The wind samurai asked, instantly on guard as his visor told him the details of everything, apparently it had night vision, which proved useful for scouting out, just in case the specter came back.
"You're in Piltover. I found you lying on the streets and had to save you from a robot ninja Zed. I also don't know why the fuck Nocturne is around here right now. I thought the summoners had him chained up somewhere!" Ezreal yelled, clearly angered at the recent events, as Yasuo's visor told him of his rise in blood pressure.
Yasuo scanned the area. It seems the wind blast got rid of him or demoralized his attack.
"Shoot! I forgot about Vi! She was also under the nightmare effects!" Ezreal suddenly remembered as he dashed back to the kitchen.
Deciding that if it wasn't for Ezreal, he would have been dead, Yasuo followed the younger champion, making sure his back was safe, due to his honor as a samurai.
Ezreal found Vi heaving and panting in a corner as the women seemed to be passed out. Helping the fellow Piltover champion up, he made sure she was safe, since he saw firsthand what Nocturne nightmare abilities does.
"You okay there?" Ezreal asked, glad to feel and see both her arms were still there.
Vi looked up towards Ezreal with fear in her eyes, before after staring long enough, she realized it was her friend, nodding as Yasuo checked over the woman.
The scanner told him that she was in a coma, when she'll wake up is unknown. Suddenly, a screen popped up on his visor, asking him if he would like to contact the hospital.
Seeing why not, he found that he could just think yes and it'll call them.
Interesting.
Walking over towards the 2 Piltover champions, he waited before speaking up.
"I contacted the hospital; the woman should be getting some help soon." Yasuo said as they nodded.
"Thanks for showing up Yasuo. Who knows what that Nocturne would have done with us?" Ezreal said, shivering a bit.
"Sorry, for bringing you here indirectly, Vi, I didn't want you to get mixed up in this." Ezreal said with a little guilt.
He had no quips currently, the visions that Nocturne showed really bothered him.
"It's alright, Golden Boy. I was doing my job after all… Now if you excuse me, I think I'm going to just go on break… Stop by Caitlyn's office for me please? Tell her I'm not feeling well…" Vi said as she staggered off.
Ezreal wanted to protest, seeing as how she was weak and wouldn't be able to defend herself, before Yasuo stopped him.
"There's no one hostile coming towards here or able to contend with her nearby." Yasuo stated. "Leave her be, she needs to recover on her own, this is Nocturne that just attacked us after all."
Not really feeling the need to argue with a guy wearing a computer pretty much, the Piltover boy looked over at Yasuo.
"Something was off about Nocturne though, sure he was the same old spooky dark guy, but there was another weird feeling from him." The Prodigy stated, looking down as he held his chest.
It hurt for some reason.
"Hmm… seeing from previous scans, it seems that Nocturne had some energy from the void infused into him. Strange." Yasuo said, solidifying Ezreal's earlier mental comment that he was wearing a computer.
"Robot Samurais and ninjas, Void beings and something about ascension…" Ezreal muttered to himself. "What is going on around here…?"
There we go! Yasuo to save the day! I'm planning on making Yasuo into a portable computer that can fight by the way.
Yes, that was Void Nocturne as a skin.
Yes, Ezreal has a lot of friends.
Yeah, Nocturne is pretty broken.
Yes, Yasuo's suit is going to pretty much be a "make things up as I go along to fit the situation" type of suit, because I want him as an integral part for whatever plans I have for Piltover Days.
Sorry if there was no comedy this chapter. I just feel the need to set up some stuff for an actual story.
I'll see you next time… I can't make it back into Gold… There was an AP Shaco top last ranked game… What made me annoyed was "It seemed fun on youtube so I tried it." I'm so annoyed right now.
