You didn't expect a third chapter didn't you? Haha, since I hit over 50 views (please don't judge me it's successful to me that more than 50 people read my stuff), here's another chapter (assuming that my last two chapters weren't a mere fluke) this chapter will be extra-long compared to my other ones so please enjoy.
Disclaimer (For anyone reading this low quality content: I do not own anything Riot Games (Rito Games if you prefer) has made this is a purely fan-made story and I hope you will enjoy it (if you read it of course).
? POV:
I awoke to a bright light glaring at me. I felt the urge to let out a yawn but held it back for my manners told me not to do so. I squinted back at the source of the light, but then suddenly, I heard a voice, "Wha- who are you?" I noted that it was a high pitched voice, it was either a female or a young boy, I guessed. As my eyes adjusted to the lack of light around me, I saw the face of presumably the origin of the voice. A teenage girl, no more than eighteen, stared at me in fear. Her eyes a dark amber, hair a lustrous black, her face pale from fear. I noticed her trembling, knees quaking from seeing me. I said warmly, "Miss, fear not, I shall do you no harm, but do tell where are we?" She seemed to have calmed after seeing me speak and having noted the fact that I was not hostile at all.
"First off, who are you? I guess starting with your name would be nice." She asked in a rather serious tone.
"My name…" I tried to find information of my name. I dug into the depths of my mind. Nothing came. "I'm sorry, but I seem unable to recall what my name is…" I answered sheepishly. The girl raised an eyebrow for a moment, thinking, but didn't seem to dig deeper into my identity.
"Hmm, do you remember anything else?" She simply asked.
"Sadly, I only remember falling into a deep sleep and waking up just now."
Silence dominated the "room" we were in. Any sound that slipped from either of our mouths would've shattered the silence, but it remained there, entangling both of us, as if it had covered our mouths, imprisoning our words.
Finally I decided to speak, "So… where are we? I am really curious about this metal room and why I can't see daylight from the outside, so please miss, do tell."
She stared at me as if I spoke another language, almost puzzled at what I meant, but then she muttered something and started to explain how this was an underground shelter and that the world was currently dominated by otherworldly terrors. Those from the Shadow Isles who reaped the souls of the living and the dead, and those from The Void that killed innocent and feasted on their bodies. It was truly horrifying. She would complain about how it used to be just a computer game and that some other characters from other games had come to this world as well (Okay I know you're going to complain about this not being a crossover, but the games I selected weren't on there so it doesn't classify as a crossover… but if you want to try them out I highly recommend you to do so if you like MOBA). She told magnificent tales of these summoners that protected civilians from harm and fought back against these terrors. Occasionally she would eye me with eyes filled with suspicion, especially when she was talking about the heroic summoners. She explained how the "room" we were currently in was actually a large metal box, and I was found at around the centre of it on the floor.
"Do you comprehend what has happened in the past ten years?" She asked.
"I understand what you have said, but I would like to see the world for myself." I replied. I needed information about the situation I am in, especially when it came to extreme ones like these.
"We leave at six at morning tomorrow, I will notify you. For now, stay here and don't make a noise." She said coldly before turning to leave.
Whitney's POV:
I turned to leave, my footsteps landing silently like feathers falling majestically onto the ground. After I looked back at the distance I've walked, I let out a gasp. His eyes, cold, calm and dark they bored into me, his hair- jet black, I doubt I would've seen his hair if I didn't look carefully and his skin, a darker shade compared to mine, almost as if he was still living in the past, ten years ago, when nobody had to hide underground and our skin was a light brownish colour. Now was not the time to worry, I had to think of a plan to walk around the streets safely. Although the streets might not have been dominated by voidlings (a.k.a. Malzahar's pets) or souls of the undead, it was definitely not the safest place to go. The debris that left uncleaned on the roads looks like an earthquake just destroyed it, and that would be enough to kill us. I also needed to come up with a name for the boy, something short would be nice, maybe Jason from Jason Bourne would be nice…
6:00 A.M. Jason's POV:
"Wake up." The voice called. My eyes fluttered open as I saw the girl from last night standing beside my wretched form. "Oh hello Miss." I smiled in courtesy hoping that she wouldn't have a temper from lack of sleep. "First off, my name is Whitney and I hope you'll call me that, and secondly, you'll be known as Jason from now on." She replied in a stern tone.
"Understood." I replied bluntly. So I guess my name was Jason from now on.
Whitney lead me out of the hole that acted as her entrance for last night, and we began to search for the exit, where Whitney was pretty much walking around trying to find it while I just followed like a moron. Finally we found it, hiding in the back corner of the huge main hall. There it was, stairs that lead to the gateway to the outside world. We checked our surroundings then we started to climb. We climbed to the top. Whitney turned the notch on the door, and we passed through.
My first thought when we passed through was: 'it smells bad here.' Apparently unlike the shelter that had fresh and clean air, the outside world more like blood, fat and smoke. Consider it as going to the butcher's and the guy's smoking a cigarette, yeah, that's what it smells like out here. We walked around the area first to make sure we would be safe when we returned. Then like kids that went to an amusement park, we explored our surroundings. We looked for everything that could be useful, anything that would jog my memory, but to no avail. We travelled quite a distance from the shelter and we needed to head back, or else Whitney's parents and siblings would be worried. We walked back trying to discuss when to come out again. That was when It appeared.
It came out from the ground, a tunnel rather. It had a disgusting appearance, think cockroach, only that it was way larger without wings and was a grey colour instead of brown. It had muscular limbs, I would guess that it was those that dug the tunnel. It bared its hideous fangs at us, I presumed that this cockroach was carnivorous...
Whitney trembled in fear whispering to herself, "I don't want to die…"
"What is that thing?" I asked politely. I noticed my voice slightly shaking, now was not the time to be afraid.
"T-that's R-Rek'S-Sai t-the v-void b-burrower!" She replied dropping to her knees. How one could stammer at least once every word I had no idea, but it meant that this creature would live up to be scary enough to make someone stammer on every part of its name. Just then I remembered it was not the time to think, but run. It was too late. The insectoid creature charged at us with incredible speed and it had knocked Whitney into the air at least two stories high. It then jumped towards the sky like a dog doing a trick and earning its treat- in this case, Whitney. As I watched, I felt the sudden urge to protect Whitney, a need you could say, and as if on cue, a miracle happened.
A greenish bubble shrouded Whitney shielding her from Rek'Sai's razor sharp fangs. Next, an purple bug-like creature grabbed Whitney and flew down from there ensuring her safety. Whitney was set down by this bug-like creature which I assumed was also from The Void. I started to back away from this bug until it did something I totally did not expect it to do, it straightened up, and bowed down to me. Yep, you heard it, this purple bug bowed down to me as if I was its master. At first I could not understand but I decided to go with the flow.
"Get us out of here, to somewhere safe!" I called out. The bug seemed to understand and made a gesture for us to follow him. Thankfully luck was on our side, Rek'Sai seemed to be unable to sense us right now and was somehow randomly crashing into walls... We all knew it wouldn't continue for much longer.
We ran past a couple of alleyways, down the left, turn right, turn right, straight to the end and turn left. The escape left Whitney and I completely exhausted, our purple ally seemed to be tired, but not as much as we were, he was there leaning against the wall as if he just went for a short jog.
"Mind introducing yourself purple man?" I panted.
He stopped, seemingly to have hesitated a bit and replied in a slow, slurred voice, "Do you not recall me master? After ten years…" I froze. Ten years, I don't think I've been brainwashed or anything, well before I fell asleep inside the box, but what did he mean ten years? I looked over to Whitney who also seemed to be shocked at hearing this.
"What do you mean ten years?" I asked. Purple man hesitated for a second before saying, "Master, you were missing in action for ten years, you were the one who led magic, The Void and The Shadow Isles to this world."
My breath stopped upon hearing those words, what would everyone think of me? I'm the one that brought terror to this world, I was evil, I was a disgrace…
Purple man seemed to realize my emotional downfall and said in a cheerful tone, "Relax, you actually gave the world a chance to fight back, why are you so unhappy?"
I looked over to him curiously, "What do you mean?" I asked coldly.
"Simply put, it was either that both realms would come charging at this world with no magic for the civilians to fight back with, or that a chance would be given to the residents of this world and summoning magic would be provided to those League of Legends players. You were the one who had to act all servant-like to beg for the world's mercy..." He replied in his slurred voice, "You are the world's hope master. You were the greatest summoner of all time, every champion back at the League believes so."
"I was, am I still?" I challenged him. In return he let out a noise which I believed was somewhere close to laughing, "Listen master, even though I was voidborne, you made me believe that there was another chance, another chance in life. You chose to free the void so my brothers and sisters could get a chance to eat, to feed off something. You couldn't stand watching innocent lives in the void dying from hunger! You stand perfectly well as the definition of kind person."
I was on the verge of tears now, I didn't deserve these words. I was the one that brought chaos to the world, I will end it myself.
"What's your name purple man?" I asked stifling a tear.
"Kha'Zix, it's not a welcome one in this world."
"Well Kha'Zix, would you tell me, would you come aboard this ship for this world's path to peace?"
A grin crept upon his face, "Yes, yes I would."
I turned my attention to Whitney, "Whitney, I know I might be acting like a real jerk in asking this but… can you help me on my quest to redemption?"
A smirk crawled onto her face, "Well now, if I didn't know the truth about it, I would have assumed you were the world's enemy, but ehh technically you did give the world a chance, so helping you out might be a good idea."
"Thanks Whitney, it means a lot."
"Well if we're going to put this world to peace we might as well start with meeting the others." Kha'Zix butted in.
"So there are more voidborne like you?" Whitney questioned our purple ally.
"They aren't voidborne but they definitely have crossed paths with master before." Kha'Zix answered cheerfully.
"Alright, we set off tomorrow." I said grimly, realizing the chance I was given to know more about my past.
