Hey guys, I'm back! I've been busy recently and accidentally deleted half the copy of this chapter. But now, I've got this through. It's going to be a long chapter, taking me a week to write.

So please enjoy and leave reviews!

"Alright, so let me get this straight. You're going to try to have a duel with yourself to try and get back my money," Riven repeated tiredly.

"There's no other way, Riven, if you don't get your side of the deal, you're going to war."

"I don't know why you think there are two Yasuo's, but I'll give you a day. You have to give me it by tonight."

Yasuo swiftly exited, knowing that this was the best chance he could get.

Ezreal awoke with a light tapping on his shoulder.

"Lux," he groaned, "How long have I been asleep?"

"2 hours or so," she replied giggling.

"Let's get going."

"Right."

The blood marks were still visible on the floor.

"Say, when we get there, we're going to see what caused Yasuo to run away from us when he was injured."

"Yeah."

Yasuo looked around before he left. He had forgotten something.

"Where's my sword?" he asked.

"In an hour, I will give it to you, you are by far too injured to fight your yourself right now."

"I don't have that sort of time..." Yasuo said impatiently.

"You will, because I won't give it to you."

Yasuo turned to leave.

"And where do you think you're going when you don't have your weapon?"

"I'll find another one," Yasuo said.

"Why are you so desperate to prevent me from the war?" Riven asked, raising her voice. She had to know why Yasuo was acting strangely.

Then to her surprise, Yasuo turned around and sprinted toward her.

"What are you doin-"

She was cut off as her lips crushed together with his.

Yasuo was the one who broke it apart.

"Riven, you'll die if you go fight. I'm from the future, and when I heard that you were killed, my heart broke, because I treated you so badly. I came back in time with Ezreal to save you as he saves Lux, and now that I've gotten so close to saving you, I'm not throwing away the chance just because I don't have a wea-"

This time, Riven had closed in to kiss Yasuo.

And she was also the one who broke it apart.

"I-if you had just told me earlier about this, I wouldn't have required gold from you Yasuo... Just introduce me to the Ezreal I hear about," she said, blushing.

Yasuo froze. That was right, she didn't know who Ezreal was...

"I'll introduce you to him... When I'm ready..."

"Wait just a bit, you'll have to explain everything about there being 2 Yasuo's and what I assume to be two Ezreal's."

"It's a long story-"

"Then tell me, I have plenty of spare time."

"Alright fine," Yasuo sighed, knowing that there was no escape.

"Come on, Lux, we're almost there!"

"Yeah yeah."

Ezreal pulled Lux a little further and they have finally reached their destination... a shaggy old shelter.

"The blood tracks..." Ezreal observed.

"They lead inside," Lux pointed out.

"Indeed they do. We found him."

Ezreal planted a slight kiss on Lux's head.

"Let's go inside already," Lux said tapping her foot impatiently.

"Alright, alright."

"So Ezreal was just a random explorer who I managed to pass by, he was in his futuristic suit 5 years from now, and so was I. He told me about the time machine he managed to scrap from Zilean, who died from old age. We got Heimerdinger to fix it, Heimerdinger's that genius who's got hair that looks like a brain..."

"Are we interrupting something?"

Yasuo turned around.

"Oh hey Ezreal... ahaha-"

He chest was slammed by a hard hug from Ezreal.

"Oh you little runt, who would've known you were hanging out with..." Ezreal turned his head to look at Riven.

In an instant his jaw dropped.

"Yasuo, dude, this was the person you wanted to save? You got a good taste..." Ezreal said, standing back up.

"Really good taste..."

Ezreal was interrupted by Lux hitting him on the head.

"Ahem, Ezreal, you better not cheat on me, you promised me that I would get everything I wanted..."

"Did not!"

"Did to!"

Riven blushed profusely.

"Stop it you two," she said. She turned her eyes back to Yasuo. "So I assume this is Ezreal?" she asked.

Yasuo nodded silently.

"And the other is Lux?"

Yasuo nodded again.

"They look like a cute couple," Riven murmured.

"Do not! He's cheating on me!" Lux pouted.

A knock by the shelter's entrance stopped their conversation.

Riven immediately sprinted to meet the guest.

"Yasuo..." came Riven's voice, making everyone freeze.

"Hello Riven," Yasuo replied.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"I thought of a punishment to give you after you ruined my life."

"W-what would that be?"

"Give me all your possessions, including your sword."

She gasped.

"Y-you can't take everything away from me," she managed.

Unsheathing his sword and pointing it to her face, Yasuo smirked.

"You believe you can stop me?"

"She can't stop you, but I can," Yasuo's voice came from inside the shelter.

Stepping out into the light, Yasuo unsheathed his sword.

"We'll have a duel."

The past version of Yasuo backed a few steps, in shock.

"Where'd you get the sword?!" Riven asked, shocked herself.

Yasuo ignored her question.

"So? This won't be a battle between you and your brother this time. It's between you and yourself."

The past Yasuo suddenly laughed.

"A duel? Why, myself, I would be pleased. Let's fight in the opening right there, where I dueled and won this savage," the past Yasuo said as he pointed at Riven.

"Very well, let us begin."

They both left the shelter.

Ezreal bolted outside, observing what had happened.

"I need to stop them..." Riven whispered. Tears were formed in her eyes, Ezreal noticed.

"No, this is a battle between Yasuo and himself, you cannot stop them..." Ezreal whispered.

Yasuo smirked to himself.

He had gone through 5 more years of training then his past self. He would surely win. He knew all the techniques the other Yasuo knew.

There was no way he could lose this.

"Let's fight here," the past Yasuo said.

"Right."

Taking their stances, they prepared to clash their blades.

The past self did the first attack.

As anticipated, he would do the lunge, just like how Yasuo did it 5 years ago. The counter to this was side stepping.

Yasuo side stepped the attack and slashed at the historic Ionian. This surprised him, for he did not expect his opponent to be able to read his moves so swiftly. He quickly dashed back, clutching his chest to try and slow the loss of blood. He took a breath.

"Well, it's not that surprising because I am facing myself. It would only make sense for the other to know the counter moves for the attacks the other gives."

He took the defensive stance this time.

Yasuo smirked. He thought he could counter the attacks Yasuo would give. But these attacks he is about to perform are the new moves he learned in the 5 years of difference between them. The past Yasuo would not recognize the counters to these moves.

Yasuo dashed right through the past Yasuo, with lightning quick speed, spinning back to make a deep cut along the past Yasuo's back.

The past Yasuo gasped in pain and fell onto his knees.

"How does it feel, to be so arrogant, and losing because of that arrogance?" Yasuo asked.

The other Yasuo threw up blood on the ground.

"I will not lose to you," he said.

Standing up so quickly, he threw his blade at the past Yasuo. Doing unexpected moves will allow him an advantage.

Yasuo deflected the sword to be confronted by his past self, recovered, in front of him.

The past Yasuo threw his hardest punch at Yasuo's stomach.

Yasuo grimaced in pain as he fell to the floor, on his stomach trying to recover. He dropped his blade, which the past Yasuo took and set the blade next to the fallen Yasuo's neck.

Yasuo, expecting the past Yasuo to take his sword, pushed himself quickly off the floor so that the blade couldn't cut his neck, falling backwards onto his back.

Using his legs, he interlocked the past Yasuo's legs and tripped him. This let him recover his blade to his possession. Holding the blade to the past Yasuo's face, he demanded "Surrender now! Or I will slay you!"

The past Yasuo raised his hands in defeat.

"You win," he said quietly.

"Tell me, Yasuo, back all those years back. What did the elder tell you when she told you to fight in the war?" Yasuo asked.

The past Yasuo shrugged.

"Tell me!" Yasuo demanded with a stronger voice.

"She told me that I was not to blame anyone for the death of-"

His realization came.

His elder had never wanted him to take the blame nor give it to anyone else. He was released, and therefore, it was no one's fault that his elder had been slain. He wasn't to blame Riven, as she was just following orders...

The realization hit the past Yasuo.

"That's right Yasuo. Don't blame Riven for it. Don't blame anyone for it." Yasuo said.

"Hear me! You are not Yasuo, the Unforgiven. You were forgiven. You were forgiven by your own elder, which you took the blame for! You betrayed her order to not blame anyone! You, of all beings, should understand that concept! Now get up and redeem yourself!" Yasuo yelled.

The past Yasuo grunted, lifting himself up.

"I understand," he said. Patting Yasuo on the shoulder, he took his leave.

Yasuo turned to walk back to the shelter, but Riven was already next to him.

"You fought impressively..." she murmured, admiring Yasuo.

"Here," Yasuo said, giving Riven a closed hand. "I want you to have it."

"What is it?" Riven asked curiously, opening his hand. There was gold. Lots of it.

"I got this when I fought him... so please accept it."

Riven giggled, realizing what happened.

"You fought him and stole his gold? Impressive!" she exclaimed, pulling Yasuo into a deep hug.

Yasuo blushed nervously and smiled.

"I'm glad it's over. Who we wanted to save are saved, right Ezreal?" he asked.

"Yeap," Ezreal replied.

"Ezreal! Yasuo!" came an excited voice.

They turned to see Heimerdinger.

"Um, hey Heimer?"

Heimerdinger rolled his eyes to his nickname.

"I traveled with you guys back in time," he said.

"I have your suits. I hope you know what that means."
