Yorick and Ivern: The Troublemakers

Just as the daycare staff members finally calm Gnar down to his usual form and start to lead people towards the busses, disaster strikes! The other half of the daycare staff members that went to look for the missing toddlers come sprinting down the road yelling "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

At first, no one knows what is wrong. If anything, the returning staff members should be happy, because the five missing toddlers are with them. And not only are the toddlers with them, but they are laughing! Laughing….

Suddenly, the daycare staff members realize the problem. The Shadow Isles toddlers only laugh at destruction. So if they are all laughing, that means….

As the five missing toddlers and the daycare staff run towards them, a grey spot appears on the horizon. "What's that?" Nami asks.

"I don't know," a staff member replies. "Fog, maybe?"

The toddlers and staff members from the daycare continue to stand there and stare at the greyness, even as the staff members from the search party run towards them. They begin to discern distinct shapes in the haze of grey. Suddenly, everyone gasps as the greyness comes into terrifying focus. What everyone thought was one grey blob is actually hundreds of tiny, grey Mist Walkers chasing after toddler Yorick!

"AAAAAAAAAH!" Everyone screams, joining the others in running away from the Mist Walkers.

"HOW DID HE SUMMON SO MANY AS A TODDLER?!" one daycare employee asks.

"I DON'T KNOW!" another yells.

Everyone keeps running, but the Mist Walkers are closing in….

"I'LL PROTECT YOU!" a toddler yells. Everyone is shocked to see what looks like a little kid tree standing in front of them. Of course, they're used to seeing Maokai, but this isn't him. As they watch, the tree-kid raises his arms, causing a bunch of corn to grow in front of them. "There! That's better!" the tree-kid exclaims, before promptly fainting.

"Quick! Everyone hide in the corn! Maybe the Mist Walkers won't see us," a daycare staff member yells, picking up the tree-kid as he says so and carrying him through a gap in the corn. All the other champions and chaperones follow, and are surprised to find a path running through the corn.

"Well, that won't keep them out!" another staff member exclaims, at the same time as another one yells "How did he grow all that as a toddler?!"

"Quick! Follow the yellow corn row!" another staff member exclaims, leading the run down the path. Soon, though, another problem presents itself. A split appears in the path. Everyone goes right, then right again at the next split… only to discover they've gone in a circle and the Mist Walkers are right in front of them!

"AAAAAAAAAAH!" everyone yells, running in random directions. Unfortunately, it turns out the corn hedge is actually a huge corn maze, causing everyone to get lost AND surrounded by Mist Walkers!

"RUN!" Shen yells, Akali, Kennen and Zed following close behind. They come to an intersection only to discover more Mist Walkers coming at them from the other direction! "AAAH!" the young ninjas yell, quickly taking off down the only path available to them.

In another part of the maze, a daycare worker sighs as he struggles to run and carry the sleeping tree-kid at the same time. "Some use you are," he grumbles. He turns a corner only to be ambushed by a horde of Mist Walkers! He tries to turn around, but more Mist Walkers jump out from between the walls of corn behind him and block the way!

"AAAAAAAAAH!" he yells, causing the Mist Walkers to screech in response, and the tree-kid to wake up.

"I'll protect you!" the tree-kid yells, his legs elongating into pokey roots that knock the Mist Walkers in front of him over.

Thinking quickly, the daycare staff member spins the tree-kid around, causing his root legs to hit all the Mist Walkers and knock them over! As the Mist Walkers growl and look around in confusion, the daycare staff member runs away with the tree-kid safe in his arms. "Thanks," the staff member says, only to discover the kid has fainted again.

Elsewhere, Rengar is hiding behind a cornstalk just off the path. "All those babies hiding from the monsters. I'm gonna hunt one!" Rengar exclaims confidently. Unfortunately, he says this out loud, causing a nearby Mist Walker to hear him and pounce on him!

"WAAAAAAH! I WANT MY MOMMY!" Rengar yells, barely able to shove the Mist Walker away before bursting out from between the cornstalks and running down the path, the Mist Walker close behind.

Unfortunately, not everyone can run as fast as Rengar, and many of the young champions, such as Lux, are getting tired. As Lux turns a corner, she quickly squeezes between the corn stalks on the edge of the path and hides in them, trying desperately to stifle her loud breathing so the Mist Walkers don't hear her.

As Lux hides, she tries to come up with a plan. After all, lots of grown-ups have called her smart. At first, Lux can't think of anything. How can she, a small little girl, fend the monsters off when even the bigger, tougher kids can't? Then she realizes the better question to ask may be: how are the kids slower and weaker than her surviving? After all, she hasn't seen anyone get hurt yet….

Suddenly, Lux has an idea! What if the monsters aren't trying to attack them? What if they just want to play Hide n' Go Seek? After all, no one is hurt. That must be it!

This positive train of thought nearly causes Lux to jump out of the corn stalks and invite the Mist Walkers to play, that is, until she realizes she could get hurt if she is wrong. Lux pauses for a second, before smiling and walking out anyways. She has been practicing her Light Binding, so if the monster tries to hurt her, she can just stun it!

"Hello!" Lux calls cheerfully to the Mist Walker that was walking away. The Mist Walker turns around and makes a gurgling sound, then comes charging towards her! Lux holds her ground, but starts reaching behind her for a stick on the ground just in case she needs to channel her powers through something.

She needn't have bothered. As the Mist Walker gets closer, it slows down, until it comes to a stop in front of her and tilts its head to the side, studying her. Then its gaping mouth forms into a smile, and it lightly nudges her arm.

"Yay! You're friendly!" Lux cheers. "Want some petting?" she asks, mistaking the zombie-like creature for an ugly dog. She reaches out her hand to pet the creature, but is distracted by more Mist Walkers appearing. They stop a few feet away from Lux and sit down, as though waiting for her to do something. "I know! A magic trick!" Lux exclaims, shooting a glowing orb into the air like a rescue flare. The Mist Walkers make gurgling noises and smile, seeming to like the show.

The daycare staff members, however, mistake the orb of light for an actual rescue flare, and, despite being chased by multiple Mist Walkers, they all run towards that direction in hopes of rescuing whoever sent out the flare. Many of the kids run that way as well, since they don't have any better plan.

"It's ok, they're friendly!" Lux cheers, as the first daycare employee comes around the corner and gasps at the twenty Mist Walkers surrounding Lux. As more people enter, Lux continues to share the good news. After a few minutes, however, Lux starts to get bored. No one is paying her any attention, not even the Mist Walkers, so she decides to search the maze for anyone who might still be running or hiding. She hasn't gotten far, however, before she hears someone yell "That was too quick! I wanted to see them run longer."

"Hahaha! Those fools were so scared!" another voice chimes in.

"You were scared too," the first voice mocks.

"Was not!" the second voice exclaims.

"Was too!" the first voice retorts.

"Was not!" the second voice exclaims. "I'm gonna be immortal!" he brags.

"Then why are you scared the zombies are gonna bite you?" the first voice asks.

"Was not!" the second voice exclaims. "Why are you scared they're gonna steal your soul?" the second voice asks.

"Was not!" the first voice exclaims.

"Why are you scared they're gonna slobber on you?" a third voice asks.

There is a pause, then the first two children laugh. "You're scared of slobber? What a baby!" the second voice exclaims.

"OLAF'S A BABY! OLAF'S A BABY!" the first voice exclaims. Lux frowns as she hears this, realizing these are probably the Shadow Isle kids. Sure enough, as she sneaks around the corner, she realizes the first voice belongs to Karthus and the second to Mordekaiser.

"AM NOT!" Olaf yells. "But if I get too dirty, mom makes me take a bath, and I hate baths!"

The other two children's teasing smiles fade, and they nod their heads. "Baths are the worst," Mordekaiser agrees.

"The worst!" Karthus echoes.

"Yeah!" Yorick agrees. Only Sona remains silent, both because she's mute and because she's not as gross as the Shadow Island guys.

"You guys are my bestest friends!" Yorick blurts out, putting an end to the insults. "You, and you, and you, and you, and all of you!" he exclaims, pointing first at his four human friends, then patting a Mist Walker on the head.

"You're my bestest friend too!" Olaf cheers.

"I wish the chase lasted longer," Mordekaiser sighs. "That would've been funny!"

"Sorry," Yorick replies. "They don't wanna chase. They want friends. I can't make them chase anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lux gasps. "You were making them chase people?!" she asks, causing the five scheming kids to notice her for the first time.

"Yeah, so?" Mordekaiser says, sounding annoyed.

"I'M TELLING!" Lux yells, running back towards the adults.

"TATTLETALE! TATTLETALE!" the mischief makers yell as they run after her, except for Sona, who makes an angry screeching sound on her Etwahl instead.

Lux races back to the rest of the people from her daycare, fully ready to tattle, but when she reaches them, an adult counts Lux and the five troublemakers, says "Oh good, that's all of them," and starts walking towards the busses, the other adults and children following suit, while the Mist Walkers turn around and head back towards the graveyard. However, because of all the terror in the maze, everyone forgot there is one more child now: the tree-kid. One of the children is still in the maze with no vision on him, and it's the one champion you never want to underestimate….

"FACE THE WIND!" a kid suddenly yells, charging out of the maze towards the Mist Walkers. Lux's plan of tattling is thwarted as everyone turns to stare at young Yasuo challenging the Mist Walkers. Apparently, Yasuo never heard that the Mist Walkers are friendly, being a loner and all. "HASAGI!" Yasuo yells as the Mist Walkers turn to face him. What follows next is a flurry of tornadoes, dashes, pokes with a stick (because kid Yasuo doesn't have a sword, but he found a stick), and punches. When it is over, all that is left of the Mist Walkers are piles of dust on the ground that blow back to the graveyard on the wind.

"HOW DID HE DEFEAT ALL THEM AS A TODDLER?!" an amazed daycare employee asks, marveling at the powers of a toddler champion for the third time that day.

This time, however, one of his co-workers chuckles. "Dude, Yasuo is OP! If you didn't want him to do that, you should have banned him from coming here."

"Duh! How could I forget?" the first employee replies, chuckling slightly. "Well, I guess we better get all of the children onto the busses."

"So are we keeping this tree-kid?" the guy holding the tree-kid asks.

"I guess," another guy replies. Just then, his phone vibrates. "Oh hey, it's a text from Riot HQ. They said a tree-kid named Treebeard the Int is headed to our daycare!" Then he frowns. "Wait a sec… isn't that the name of a character in Lord of the Rings?"

Just then, his phone vibrates again. "Oh wait, here's another text. 'Jk, his name is Ivern the Green Father.'" The daycare employee frowns. "Maybe it's because he's a toddler, but what kind of 'Green Father' traps kids in a corn maze with zombies? He doesn't sound like a very good dad."

"Corn mazes are fun!" Ivern exclaims, randomly waking up, then suddenly fainting again.

"Ok, this kid is creeping me out," the guy carrying Ivern exclaims.

"On that note… to the busses!"

AN: Why do the toddlers of Pentakill like scaring people so much? You'll have to wait and see! Why couldn't I think of anything funny to write about Yorick? I don't know. And who is my main? It is Lux! She's not too hard to play, good for a beginner like myself, and her cheerfulness inspires me to stay somewhat cheerful even when a game isn't going well. Anyways, feel free to review.

jim chen: Glad you like it! There will definitely be more Jhin jokes at some point, just not for another chapter or two since I want all the characters to be in this story a bit.
