Chapter 11
Conclusion
‟Everyone pack up! We're reaching Piltover Harbor in the next half an hour! For everyone who wants a compensation for the pirate attack, go to the harbor bureau. Our sailors will bring you there!" The captain's voice was clear to hear, in every part of the ferry.
Riven and Diana already stood at the bow of the ship, where they could see the approaching City of Progress. It was a bit after midday, the sky was clear blue and the sun stood above them. In this bright sunlight, Piltover was even more impressive than ever before. Even from this far away, they could see hundreds of moving objects, most likely their 'cars', the giant skyscrapers which stood close to each other and giant gears which most likely drove some machines. A bit farther away, they saw the giant industries of Piltover.
The last days on the ship wasn't very exciting or anything like this. After the incident with the pirates nothing more had happened, which made them wonder even more. They still thought about it and which faction could have an interest in something like this. An attack and after that, their attackers explode? It was weird. But, well, without any evidence this was a useless endeavor.
Nevertheless, Riven had at least made some progress with the summoning of her sword. She even fought with Diana once, even though it was only a short moment. The concentration needed to hold up the blade and keep an eye on the battle, was still rather hard for Riven. At least she didn't need half an hour for the summoning process. 'Will I ever be able to do this anyway', she had asked herself.
‟So, there we are again", Diana said. A fresh sea breeze played with her long hair. She stroked a strand of hair out of her face and stretched her arms. ‟It was about damn time."
‟Yeah. I prefer ground under my feet", Riven replied and looked to her side for a moment. Their backpacks still stood there. They already started to pack in the morning, so they didn't need to rush now and they could be the first who left the ferry.
‟Let's see when the next carriage or something like this depart", Riven said and watched the moving city. Piltovians looked like they were always in a hurry.
‟No airship? Would be faster." Diana grinned. Riven grimaced only at the thought of traveling with such a thing. The wind which shook the airship on her way to Piltover and the fact to be hundreds of meters above the safe earth were enough for her.
‟Not even a horse would bring me inside of one of these things again. You can fly if you want..I come later than", Riven said and smiled. She stretched her arms a bit and cracked her neck.
‟Alright the classical way", Diana nudged her with a grin. ‟So..what will happen next?"
‟Huh...I think we should tell the League about the incident on the ship, as soon as we get there. Otherwise...I don't know. Guess it's usual daily routine then. Training, fighting, sleeping..oh and sharing nice moments", Riven answered and laughed quietly.
‟Doesn't sound that bad. The last point sounds interesting enough", Diana replied and grinned. ‟You don't have something in mind?"
‟Not quite yet. I will tell you in time", Riven answered plainly. Even though she had some 'dreams' about stuff which she wanted to do with Diana. She blushed slightly and focused on Piltover again. Luckily Diana focused on the city too. They saw how a few airships flew into the sky.
‟I hope it will be a nice surprise then", Diana replied and smiled to her mysteriously. ‟Looks like your lucky, Riven. I think on of these airships is the one which would bring us to the League."
‟Lucky me", Riven sighed and grabbed her backpack. ‟Here we are again..the city of Piltover."
The approaching docks, were nearly empty. Only a few other people walked around and most likely organized things. Riven saw some of these robots, which carried big crates around. Other ships lay at the docks, some got loaded while some others were most likely passenger ships or private ships from rich people.
‟To be honest...it's a strange city. I wonder how they can live like this. I mean with all the technology stuff and so on", Diana said and grabbed her own backpack. They both walked slowly to the bridge, which would let them down on the docks.
‟I believe you need to grow up here, so that you can live with this. I mean...just look at these strange robotic things there", Riven replied and pointed at the thin, artificial creatures. ‟They walk around the city, like it's normal...before I got here, I only knew about Blitzcrank...but here it's normal."
‟They look...creepy for me", Diana said and grimaced. ‟Not as creepy as Orianna, but well.."
‟You've got a point", Riven said and remembered Orianna. She fought with her in one match. A robotic clockwork like being. When she remembered her voice, Riven still got cold shivers down her spine.
They watched as a few sailors threw ropes at the docks, were other ones waited for them and moored the ship. They heard yelled orders from around the ship and finally they could leave the ferry, as the sailors put down the bridge. Luckily they were first on land.
It was rather silent in this area of the city. In the distant worked a few loading cranes and a few cars drove by. They saw a few warehouses in the distance, otherwise nothing more was to see. They didn't pay much attention to it either.
‟Where to go first?", Riven asked Diana.
‟We could go to the harbor bureau..but well, the League pays us the gold anyway. So no need for it...I think we should ask when the next carriage or something like this leave the city. And by our luck, I assume we need to wait a day here", Diana answered. Riven sighed.
‟Gosh...but, fine. Let's go..as long as I don't ride an airship", Riven replied. Diana laughed and gave her a short kiss on the cheek, before they walked on.
‟Wait a second!" They heard a voice behind them and turned around. A sailor ran to them and stopped.
‟Yeah? Did we something forgot or something like this?", Diana asked.
‟No. No. The captain just asked, if you both could make a short stop at the Piltovian Police Department? You know, for a short report about the little incident out on the ocean...I mean you...Miss Riven? You seemed to know about their weaponry...so it would be good", the sailor said.
‟Huh..I guess we can do that", Riven replied and looked over to Diana, which nodded.
‟Yeah, we do it. We're not in a hurry so..", Diana said.
‟Thank you. I will tell the captain about it. Have a good day", the sailor said and walked back to the ship.
‟Well then..let's get going", Diana said.
‟Yep. Maybe they have something to tell us about it", Riven replied.
‟Any idea where to go? I don't know this place very well.."
‟Eh...just let us go into the city. I mean the department is one of the most important buildings. Will be easy to find", Riven said and stretched her arms a bit. She turned her head around for a moment. Behind them were only a few other passengers. A few of them were led by sailors, most likely to the bureau to get their money back. No one else was to see. Or at least...no one suspicious.
‟What is it?", Diana asked and looked over her shoulder as well, then back to Riven.
‟Nothing...I..just had a strange feeling." Riven looked around before she walked on. 'Strange...it felt like someone is...following us? Am I paranoid?', she thought and frowned. She shook her head and took a deep breath. 'Guess it's because of the whole pirate thing and so on', she thought. But, even though she tried to persuade herself, it felt like a second shadow walked behind her.
The main city of Piltover was a center of progress, freedom and money. Even though Piltover was a city of technology, money still ruled the world. The main street in the heart of the city, was crowded with thousands of people. Store at store were lined up, reaching from some nearly classical forges to hextech shops which sold stuff Riven never had seen before. And nearly every single one was filled with people, ranging from from children to old men.
When they looked up, they saw a few small zeppelins which flew deep over the city as well as some giant banners, hung from the highest skyscrapers of the city. Riven really felt out of place, with her old fashioned sword and clothing. And her armor pieces, of course. They got a few curious glares, but more or less because of their weaponry. Some nodded respectfully at them, when they recognized them as champions.
‟Wow", Riven plainly said and looked around as they walked through the crowd of people. It was pretty noisy. Chatting people, the sound of forges or the distant sounds of driving vehicles. ‟I always knew that Piltover is the most modern city in the world...but...wow."
‟Feels like time travel, huh? When I think about Mount Targon and how...classical everything was back then...this here is the complete opposite of it", Diana replied. Her voice sounded a bit crushed from the impressions.
They reached a giant square, with an enormous fountain in the middle of it. Benches were built up around it as well as some small cafes. People sat there and chatted with each other. All in all it was a pretty peaceful place, sometimes disrupted by the short, loud noise of a working gear.
‟You know..if we both don't know it better..someone could assume that the world is a peaceful place", Riven said, as they passed the fountain. Diana looked up to some signs.
‟Yep. I guess this is why Piltover is a city, where many people want to travel. Here they can forget for a moment", Diana replied and pointed in some direction. ‟There we go. Just let them give a short report and then go on...I want to be back in the League as soon as possible."
Riven nodded and followed her, while getting a glimpse of the sign. 'Piltover's Police Department..guess we're right'. They left the main street of Piltover.
Slowly they walked on between skyscrapers. The sun was nearly not to see, as the high buildings blocked out most of the sunlight. The middle of the street was separated and cars drove there. Riven really felt like she was in another time. She remembered Noxus streets. Carriages and horses were their transport method and the highest building of the entire city was the High Command. Here in Piltover..nearly every second building was as high, as it.
After a short walk, they stopped before a proportional small building between two skyscrapers. A staircase led up the entrance, above the building's entrance was 'Police Department: Piltover' written. Behind many windows they saw some people working, most of them wore some kind of uniform. At the right sight, they both saw other cars standing around, some sort of light on their roof.
Riven sighed quietly. ‟Maybe Caitlyn's on duty. Wouldn't be too strange, then", she said, and walked up the stairs.
‟Yeah. This city gives me a headache", Diana replied. She opened the door and stepped in, Riven beside her.
The Police Department from Piltover was a strange place. Directly in front of them sat two women behind a giant desk, writing on some papers. Two other men stood before them, most likely reporting some crimes or something like this. Left from them was a glass door. The sign on it read: ‟Waiting Room". On the other side were dozens of desks, everyone filled with papers, records and so on. The rang of hextech devices filled the air, as well as the noise which the police officers made.
As one of the women got free, Riven stepped closer to the desk.
‟Yes? What can I do for you?", she asked and looked up.
‟We're passengers from the ferry from Ionia to Piltover. We wanted to report a most likely pirate attack on the ship. The captain had asked us this favor", Riven said and looked down.
‟Ah, yes alright"; the woman looked up and examined them both for a moment. ‟Wait a second. You're Riven, the Exile and Diana, Scorn of the Moon am I right?"
‟Yeah, you're right", Diana said, and stepped closer too.
‟Well..wait a second", she said and grabbed something, which looked a bit like the radio equipment from the ferry. ‟Yeah...the Sheriff there? Well the two champions...Riven? Yeah, she's here, along with her friend...Okay, I send them up." She put the thing aside again and looked up. ‟The Sheriff wanted to talk to you. Go up the stairs, the room at the end of the corridor."
‟Eh...alright? Thank you for that", Riven said somehow confused. She and Diana nodded at the woman and walked to the staircase and up.
‟Huh? Caitlyn wants to talk with us?", Diana asked and looked to Riven.
‟Yeah. Strange somehow...maybe this report is something more important, than just a normal report", Riven answered and thought about it for a moment. ‟Well, we see it soon enough."
The first floor of the department, was far quieter than the ground-floor. Dozens of doors led to different persons, departments and so on. ‟Murder, theft", Riven read quietly the writings on the doors, before a loud voice interrupted her.
‟I thought that I TOLD you NOT to punch through this wall! We had a plan about it..you remember?!", a familiar voice yelled. It sounded like Caitlyn, even though very agitated.
Another voice answered her: ‟I did everything right! I mean there in arrest right now! Okay..maybe punching through the front wall wasn't my best idea..."
‟The whole building nearly came down!", Caitlyn yelled back.
‟Stop raging, cupcake. The most important thing is, that we have these criminals", the other voice replied.
‟I have a talk about that with you again Vi! Besides, I told you: Stop calling me 'cupcake'."
‟Aww...is it too embarrassing for you? Should I start to calling you...huh...sweetheart? Well, this escalated quickly!"
‟Vi!" They heard how someone laughed.
Riven and Diana looked at each other for a moment before knocking at the door to Caitlyn's office. ‟Yes? Come in!", an irritated Caitlyn said.
They stepped into her office and looked around for a moment. A medium sized room, filled with equipment and records. They spotted her sniper rifle, hanging on the wall. Under it enough ammunition for a whole unit. But, it wasn't only Caitlyn. Another rather tall girl sat in the room.
She wore a rather strange combination reaching from black pants to something which looked like a white corset, which was obviously made out of some light metal or stuff like this. She had short pink hair, while one side was cut short and the other long. Some glasses hung around her neck. The word ‟Vi" was tattooed under her left eye. Her feet lay on Caitlyn's desk.
‟Hey, cupcake. Special guests?", Vi asked. She had something like a lollipop in her mouth and looked back to Caitlyn. She turned around and sighed.
‟Yes, Vi. Special guests..hello Riven and Diana", she greeted them and sat down behind her table, while making a gesture to them both to sit down too.
‟Hello Caitlyn..you wanted to talk to us?", Riven asked and sat down, Diana did the same. Vi was friendly enough to put down her feet.
‟Yeah. There are some things want to talk with you...I think it has something to do with the attack on your ferry", Caitlyn answered.
‟Yeah. Cupcake is on the case again and she thinks our little neighborhood friends Zaun has something to do with it", Vi said. Caitlyn glared over to her and sighed.
‟Well, before we get to the point...this over there is Vi my new partner", Caitlyn explained and sighed.
‟Yep. Piltover's finest. Nice to meet ya. Oh, why you sighed Cait? Nothing wrong with me, is it?", Vi asked and laughed.
‟Nice to meet you too", Diana said and leaned back in her seat. ‟I think Riven can explain it better than me."
‟Alright enough with that. Explain me what happened on the ferry", Caitlyn asked. She got her normal detective's attitude again.
‟Okay. So at first it looked like a usually pirate attack. We left the Piltovian harbor only a few hours ago. The captain told us, that this part of the ocean was the most dangerous part of our journey because Piltover is out of radio range and Ionia out of bird range. We spotted another ship, which came closer pretty fast. Their captain made demands, if we didn't fulfill them he would kill any civilian on board", Riven explained.
‟As they turned on their lights..well, I got a glimpse on their canons. They reminded me on modified melter canons from Zaun."
‟I know about them", Vi suddenly said. ‟Hey, don't look at me like this. When you're working for some underground gang you hear all kinds of stuff. Chemical weaponry which is able to wipe out entire parts of the country."
‟Yeah, you're right Vi. We surrendered and let them come aboard...Diana stated that they were not our everyday pirates. They worked professional and fast..even though after they escaped their whole ship was blown up", Riven continued.
‟Yes. They only looked like normal pirates...I think they are some kind of...mercenaries of stuff like this", Diana said. Vi and Caitlyn looked at each other for a moment.
‟Do you remember about the criminal case? When we were in the zeppelin?", Caitlyn asked Riven. She thought about it for a moment.
‟Yeah...why? It was a theft wasn't it?"
‟We're sure about now, that this theft was done by mercenaries with a connection to Zaun", Caitlyn explained and Riven frowned. ‟Vi could you explain? But, spare the details."
‟Yeah. The bomb they used to breach into the lab, was kind of old school explosives. My gang and some mercenaries use them often. Easy to build, but explosive like a Heimerdinger turret", Vi said.
She cracked her neck, before continuing: ‟ So I thought some mercenaries could do that. Finally an old man in some shady tavern at the suburbs from Piltover told me about them. He told me about a masked person with a metal face who met one of the biggest mercenary gang leaders within miles..old man owned me a favor."
‟We concluded, that this could be most likely our target. Even though they disappeared from screen after Vi asked the innkeeper. As Jayce has a...rivalry with a man called 'Victor" from Zaun, I concluded that Zaun needs to be behind this...even though I could be terribly wrong."
‟Aww..cupcake you are never wrong", Vi said with a grin.
‟What did they steal anyway?", Diana asked.
‟Enhancement technology. It's an early concept of technology created by Jayce. With this technology a normal civilian would be able to lift hundreds of pounds. In short: It's a form of magical items like the ones on the Fields of Justice for everyone", Caitlyn explained.
‟So...you suggest that this whole stuff was done by Zaun? But, why? And wouldn't the League interferes, when they are too..aggressive?", Riven asked. She heard how Vi crunched her teeth.
‟Yeah, they would. But, they can easily say: 'Oww no, we didn't know about anything. They must have stolen our items..blablabla'", Vi said.
‟So..let me get this straight. You think that the theft and the attack on the ferry, was done by hired mercenaries from Zaun?", Diana asked.
‟Yes. The canons, which Riven described, are Zaunite weapons. And I never heard about a case, where other military or pirates get their hands on this kind of technology. The only exception...well..", Caitlyn looked at Riven, which nodded.
‟Would be the Noxian military during the Ionian war...", Riven ended the sentence and rubbed the back of her head. ‟Is there something we can do?"
‟Right now..no. You helped me with my conclusion and now I'm pretty sure that these criminals working together with Zaun. But, I need to find some hard evidence before asking the League", Caitlyn said.
‟Would be a nice strike against them", Vi said with a grin and cracked her fingers.
‟Alright then...you have something else for us?", Diana asked.
‟Not really at the moment...but, do you want a cup of tea now? I know you want to go back to the League, but well the next means of travel will depart tomorrow morning. You could tell me something about Ionia", Caitlyn said with a smile, while she already searched for a cup of tea.
‟Huh, then you're right. What do you say?", Riven asked to Diana.
‟Nothing against it. We don't have anything else to do."
As they got their cup of tea, Riven and Diana started to talk about their little journey through the Ionian country. Caitlyn and Vi listened interested, even though Vi looked more interested to Diana's hand which lay on Riven's thigh, more or less a thoughtless gesture. Vi grinned slightly, but didn't say anything and just keeping on listening.
As the sun slowly started to set and the electrical and magical lights from Piltover were turned on, Riven ended the talking about Ionia.
‟Pretty neat story", Caitlyn said and smiled. Riven rubbed the back of her head and emptied her cup of tea.
‟Huh..if you say so", she replied.
‟Well, it's getting dark and you both should get a room in a hotel. I will bring you there...it's shift end anyway." She got up and stretched her arms and legs, the three others followed her example.
‟Thank you, but you don't need to", Riven said.
‟It's on the way. What about you Vi?", Caitlyn asked.
‟Got something to do. I'll see you tomorrow cupcake", she winked at Caitlyn, which sighed. ‟And you two, too. Have a good night...hopefully it's not too..'steamy'." She grinned ambiguous at them, while she took out another lollipop from somewhere and put it into her mouth. Then she left the office.
For a short moment Riven blushed slightly and looked over to Diana, which tried her best not to look too embarrassed. She exactly knew 'what' Vi meant by this. Caitlyn looked puzzled for a moment, but she shrugged and grabbed her rifle. ‟Okay. Follow me then."
The police department was rather silent now. A few other officers were still there, while some stepped in, most likely for a night shift. They greeted Caitlyn and her followers shortly, before going to her tables or offices.
As they left the police department, it was already nearly dark. But, behind some windows of the skyscrapers light still burned. Even on the streets, people were still around. Most of them looked tired and exhausted from a long day of work, and were most likely on their way home.
Caitlyn led them to one of the waiting cars and they got in. ‟I'll bring you to one of the best hotels in Piltover..the owner owe me a few favors. It's good to be Sheriff", Caitlyn said with a grin and drove them through the street canyons of Piltover.
While she drove, Caitlyn pulled out a little card and handed it over to Riven. ‟Show the receptionist this one. She will give you a room for the night."
‟Eh..thank you. But, as I said there is no need for this", Riven replied. Caitlyn just waved and smiled. Riven looked over to Diana, which smiled for a moment, before she looked away again. Her face looked a bit red.
For the rest of their rather short ride, there was an awkward silence between Diana and Riven. Riven didn't know what to say in the first place and just thought about everything. Even though Vi's short goodbye was still in her head. 'Gosh...hopefully this will be forgotten by tomorrow', Riven thought annoyed and tried to focus on something else. Her mind drifted to the mercenaries and their ship.
'Zaun...', she thought. These were the people, which were responsible for the death of her unit in the first place. These were the one, which were the cause of the suffering from the Ionians. She clenched her fists. Even though Noxus High Command had his errors...Zaun was the place, which she hated far more than anything else.
She felt a hand on her clenched fist and looked over to Diana. She just looked at her with a more or less neutral face, but this short touch was enough for Riven to calm down a bit. Diana nodded at her, before she looked out of the window again.
They finally arrived at the hotel, a big and high building with dozens of floors. ‟Here we are...one of the best hotels. Have a good night you two", Caitlyn said to them.
‟You too Caitlyn", Riven and Diana said, before they left the car. As they closed the doors behind them, the Sheriff drove away. For a moment they just stood outside of the hotel and looked at it.
‟You know..it's...", Riven began, but her voice failed her.
‟Stupid Vi...", Diana replied. ‟So...how about it?" Her voice sounded a bit embarrassed.
Riven wasn't very sure what to say now. Her mind got empty and her heart started to beat faster. When she would say no, she would feel like a coward in the aftermath...besides how would Diana feel? She would understand most likely...nevertheless wouldn't she felt a bit disappointed? Beside Riven didn't want such an awkward silence between them, which would be in the air for the next couple of days. So..there was only one way.
She took a deep breath and gathered herself. ‟Alright. We do it", she plainly answered and blushed. ‟Let's get a room." Diana didn't answer and just followed Riven inside the hotel.
The inside of the hotel was pretty luxurious and looked like someone has combined the Piltovian style and Demacia into one thing. Directly in front of them a single woman sat behind a counter, right behind her were multiple elevators to the upper floors. They could hear in the distant the typical sounds of a dinner as well as laughing.
Riven stepped closer to the receptionist. ‟Eh..good evening", she said, and the woman looked up.
‟Good evening. Do you want a room?", she asked and smiled.
‟Yeah we want one. Eh...the Sheriff of Piltover brought us here...", Riven answered and handed over the card which Caitlyn gave her.
‟Ah, yes. The owner still owes her a favor. Guess this will be it then." She stood up and took a key from a giant wooden plate. Dozens of others hung there, everyone with a different number. ‟Here it is. Room number 32. It's on the third floor, the first door right."
‟Thank you", Riven said and took the key.
‟A good evening, I wish", the woman said before returning to her sitting position.
Diana and Riven walked over to the elevator and Riven pressed the button to the third floor. This was one of the only technology in which she trusted. No more exhausting stair climbing. She looked over to Diana, which seemed to be in her own thoughts. Riven licked her lips, and tried her best to stay calm.
As they got out on the third floor, they looked around. Red carpets were rolled out in the corridors, some electric light lit them. They heard the sound of a clock, as they searched for their room. There it was again. This awkward silence.
Finally Riven found the right door and opened it. As soon as she entered, she found something like a button right beside the door. She pushed it and the light turned on. Their room was split into three other smaller rooms. They looked around for a moment and opened the doors. A bathroom, a sleeping room with two beds, even though Riven knew they would only need one for this night, and the biggest room, a living room with two big couches and an armchair, a table and everything else needed for them.
‟You know...eh..I will have a shower before...", Diana said and her face was bright red. She bit her underlip and dropped her backpack.
‟Alright...I..eh..just wait here", Riven replied. She felt how she blushed again. Diana then disappeared into the bathroom.
Riven put down her own backpack and sighed. She dropped it near the couch and sat down on it. She drew her blade and laid it on the table, before leaning back and stretching her muscles a bit. Her mind was empty. It felt not like their meeting in the park on Ionia. No. This time it was somehow...different. This was something more than the confession.
She heard how Diana turned on the water and closed her eyes for a moment. She saw some..scenes before her inner eye and sighed quietly. Riven felt how some sort of arousal and heat grew inside of her as she thought about..well, doing it. 'Well, my body is ready for that', she thought and bit her underlip. She sat their for a moment, listening to the water and dwelt on to her nice thoughts, until she was interrupted by something.
Someone knocked at their door. ‟Huh?", Riven mumbled and stood up. Even though she didn't have a clear reason for it, she grabbed her blade and walked to the door. Her arousal, which would have taken over, slowly disappeared and was replaced with another form of excitement. Shortly she touched the runes on her blade, which glimmered in response.
As soon as she unlocked the door, it was punched open. Riven let out a scream of pain as the door hit her hard. ‟Fuck! DIANA! We got company!", she yelled. A punch into her abdomen, let her fly threw the whole room. Luckily she landed on one of the couches. She coughed.
The men which stormed their room, wore long mantles which hid most of their bodies. Their eyes were covered by some sort of dark glasses. Everyone of them was buff and big. It looked like they didn't wear any kind of weaponry. Riven readied her blade. ‟What the fuck? Who are you?", she yelled and jumped forward. She unloaded the energy of her blade all in once in a Ki Burst.
These men were tough. Even though she hit one of them, another one let her fly through the room again. This time she wasn't lucky and landed on the table. She took a few other objects with her. These people were obviously no normal thugs or soldiers.
Diana stormed out of the bathroom, and without asking she sent moonlight into one of the men, which stumbled backwards as the light pierced him.
‟Riven you're alright?", she yelled. She blocked another punch with her blade and sliced open the whole arm of the man, which screamed in pain. Blood splattered through the room and covered Diana. ‟Come on! Next one!", she yelled.
Another one stepped forward. Diana went back one one step, her blade glowed in moonlight. She readied herself for another attack, but this one came so fast and hard that she wasn't prepared. The man hit the side of her sword with the palm of his hand. The strength was enough to let her fly against the windows. They creaked and Diana coughed multiple times, before she lost consciousness.
Riven shook her head and stood up again. ‟Diana!" Riven yelled and looked back for a moment, before focusing on the men again. ‟That's enough!" Riven jumped forward again, and slashed the man wide open. The room was too small for her, to summon her whole blade. 'Shit..who are these guys?', Riven thought and readied herself for another attack.
But, before she could attack once more a bright flash and small explosion filled the room. ‟What the..", Riven yelled before she felt another hit against her neck.
The last thing she remembered before she blacked out was how one of them spoke: ‟We got her. We got the target person."
