The plan was in action.
It was night, every Demacian was sleeping, or going to sleep at this time, with few guards out.
"Hey Ezreal, you really like that girl don't you?" Yasuo asked.
Ezreal sighed, laying down. "I guess I do... she was my best friend. Say, Yasuo, you said you needed to go back in time with me because you had to save someone too."
Yasuo nodded. "I did, and I need some gold to save her."
"Her? Yasuo, you're that type of guy?" Ezreal smirked with a naughty face.
Yasuo twitched in annoyance and then laughed.
"You're not any better, Ezreal, you're not any better."
"Katarina hurry, we have to clear this mission before the sun rises."
The redhead promptly sat down. "I don't see you doing any work, Talon, why do I have to do this?"
"Because I'll do the killing, just open the door already," Talon grunted in annoyance.
Click! Click! Chuck!
Katarina finished unlocking the back door of the palace.
Getting there was not troubling at all, the guards were not very well trained.
Their mission was to kill every person in the building...
Talon waved his hand at Katarina's thinking face.
"Hello. We have to get moving."
Lux relaxed in her bed. She was supposed to be asleep hours ago, but the idea of assassination crept up her skin.
She didn't want to die while sleeping.
"Alright Yasuo, it's time. Go scout, I'll take care of this room," she heard Ezreal say.
Ezreal entered the room and locked the door, which Lux quickly closed her eyes to. She had to pretend to be asleep.
Her heart was pounding. She should've left the building when Ezreal told her to leave. She was such a dummy not to listen.
Now she had to go through this.
Ezreal's footsteps got closer to her bed, leading to feeling his hand swipe across her forehead.
"You're really beautiful, you know that Lux?" he whispered.
At least she would have Ezreal here.
She should sleep...
Ezreal could handle... this...
Yasuo dashed around the corridors of the building. If he saw the slightest trace of assassins, he would rush back. It was dangerous leaving Ezreal alone, especially since he didn't know how many assassins there were.
"Talon! You're making too much noise!" came a whisper.
Yasuo perked his ears.
This must be it. These clumsy pests are assassins. What a joke.
"Katarina, you're annoying, stop clinging on to me!" a voice said.
"You can't walk through there! You're going to make too much noise!"
Yasuo peeked around the corner.
A redhead wearing light leather clothing with daggers strapped around her legs with a man dressed in purple with an arm blade.
Detected. Now he just had to get back to Ezreal.
He turned around to go back.
"Hey there sweetie, mind if we have some fun?"
The redhead just teleported? She was just on the other side of the corridor a second ago!
The purple assassin came right after.
"Let us introduce ourselves to this... Ionian."
Ezreal whistled.
It was a long time, Yasuo still had not come back.
Did he get himself caught?
What should Ezreal do if he did get caught?
Shaking his head, he continued staring at the door, occasionally glancing at Lux to make sure she was sleeping in peace.
Quick foot steps were heard, alerting Ezreal to be as careful as possible.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
It had to be Yasuo, no assassin from Noxus would knock on the doors to the people they assassinate.
But there was also a feeling of doubt.
Yasuo couldn't have taken this long to scout...
Managing his choices, Ezreal tho-
"Ezreal, it's me," came a weak voice.
Ezreal opened the door quickly and let Yasuo in, before locking the door again.
"What happened?"
"They're here," Yasuo said, spurting blood out of his mouth.
He was injured.
Ezreal stood by the door, listening carefully as Yasuo treated himself.
"He went this way," a voice came.
"Yes," another voice agreed.
Ezreal tensed up quickly.
What to do... what to do... what to do?
Leaving the door locked, he sprinted to Lux, shaking her.
"Lux... wake up, Lux, please."
She groaned as she rolled around on the bed.
"LUX!"
Her eyes fluttered open.
"Did you just hear a voice?" a voice came from the door.
"Yeah, they're in there, like we suspected, open the door, they're locked in this pathetic Demacian architecture."
"I'm doing this again?"
Lux quickly became aware of the situation.
Yasuo backed up to the wall. He couldn't fight.
The door knob fell, and the door opened.
"Well hello there, bleeding Ionian, Demacian girl, and a -"
Ezreal didn't let them finish, using his gauntlet to its full potential, he scared them back of out the room.
"We're getting out of here," Ezreal said, his heart pumping with adrenaline.
"I can't move anywhere," Yasuo reminded.
What should Ezreal do?
He's trapped as an explorer?
He's trapped.
