His vision was still trying to focus as the silver ring began to glow blue. Looking between his toes, he could see the field below. He quickly inhaled.

To his left stood the Frost Archer and the Deamon Child.

To his right waited the Barbarian King and the Rouge Mage.

His breath made him raise his head to look at the opposition.

The fire in her eyes made him glad she wasn't on his side. But the soft wind coming from below all ten Champions made her blood-red hair swirl about her face. The scars on her body were proof of battle. She grinned at him with those nearly mad eyes.

The Sinister Blade always fought with all she had against the Wuju Bladesman.

But this time, he was ready.

To her right stood the beautiful but deadly Deceiver and the intrepid Master Tactician.

And on her left was the deadly and beautiful Nine Tailed Fox and the mysterious Eye of Twilight.

His lenses began to zoom and focus as they began to slowly fall.

Gathering speed, his coat began to show his hidden blades that served as little more than weights. His boots were made of sturdy material and he drew his blade from the air.

As he pulled it inwards, towards his body, the gold sheen glinted. He smiled at his rival as they began to fall away from each other and at a much more rapid pace.

The blue ring spread out, like a ripple in the water to reveal the blue-gem turrets in the far reaches. His ripple spread under the Frost Archer's feet as she grabbed her crystallized bow. She smiled at Master Yi through the soft mist coming off her.

The Barbarian King flexed his arms as his blade dropped into his hands. It gently thumped onto the surface. His bare skin showed the veins running down his arms. The fur he wore was to keep his "stuff" safe from frostbite, mostly his knees and toes. His helm made him look the part of the title. He turned to Master Yi as the speed came down hard.

The Deamon Child flicked her wrist and a flame ignited in her palms as she smiled at the Wuju man. Her little purple and magenta dress had the flickering shadows. Her little headband was a stark contrast to her bright hair. She still had those large, innocent, child eyes, but they had seen war already and she showed her ability as a capable warrior. She reached out and pulled her "cute" bear out of thin air.

Yi turned his head and smiled at the Rouge Mage, who was flipping through his tome. He was sliding to stand in the circle as he searched for something. He finally snapped the book shut and nodded to all of them. His blue skin glowed with the markings of magic that resonated around him and his book. He looked down as the blue rings sent a bright white flash at them.

Yi, Ashe, Annie, Tryndamere, and Ryze looked up as the beams shot into the air, sending their blue rings back to prepare for another battle.

As he turned his head to the shopkeeper, a coin was flung at him and he caught it. Opening his palm, Yi was looking at the Vampiric Scepter and he held it to his heart, thanking the Summoner for deciding on that item. He pulsed and breathed a sigh.

Annie had gotten the Mana Manipulator. She had pressed the coin to Tibbers, her precious bear, and the duo had pulsed before she went skipping off to take on the middle lane.

Master Yi saw the green dot that was summoning him to the top of the field. He held his blade at the read, the rings chinking as he cautiously made his way from the base.

He was soon followed by Ryze, whom had received the coin for the Boots of Speed and a few Health Potion bottles in his pouch. He easily caught up to Master Yi who was standing beside the twenty-foot tower that would defend him.

A blue sheen came off of Ryze as he slipped into the bushes, crouching low in wait.

It was to tell the tower that Ryze was a friendly and not to hurt him. Yi had the same sheen, but it glinted heavily off his blade. His eyes suddenly pulsed and he felt the speed enhance him and knew that his Alpha Strike was ready for use. He touched his heart again to thank them. There was no point being mean. They were the ones who knew how to defeat an enemy that the Master could not do alone.

Ryze started leafing through his book out of boredom.

"Welcome to Summoner's Rift."

Master Yi closed his eyes and his mental state shifted far to the bottom. He heard fighting.

Tryndamere and Ashe had engaged the ninja and the fox. Ashe's eyes widened and the Volley struck the duo in the back before she vanished into the forest to shadow her "husband" from there. She emerged and Volley again.

Shen dashed right at her and Tryndamere struck at him as Ahri's Charm sped right for him. It narrowly missed his foot, the pink smoke misting away into the air as she surged forward to strike him down.

Ashe engaged from a distance to keep backup going.

Suddenly-

"First Blood."

Ahri went down by Tryndamere's hands.

"An Ally has been slain."

Tryndamere fell.

Ashe's cry of fury echoed as she went after Shen, who was trying to get away. Ashe did a Volley just out of the Tower's range.

"An Enemy has been slain."

Ashe dove for cover in the bushes before the cone of blue rings summoned her home.

Master Yi smiled as his eyes opened again.

Ryze shook his head. "That's never a good sign, is it?"

Master Yi just touched his heart. "No. But we must not fall. We must triumph for our own chances." He smiled to himself before his head snapped up as-

"Minions have spawned."

When they finally reached him, Master Yi's knees bent and he leaned forward. He swept his sword to his right as his body began to radiate with energy. His eyes focused on a minion just ahead of him.

He struck forward, his blade swinging towards his body.

In that fast state, he saw Swain and LeBlanc and struck them as well before he returned to his swarm. "RYZE!"

And it was on.
