Shen continued to sit quietly in the interrogation room, hoping Caitlyn would return to her senses. The fact that he wore his TPA attire made him look like a troubled youth who was caught spray painting a wall or something. The door suddenly opens, though the only thing that came into view over the table was the tip of a wizard's hat, Shen was aware of who it belonged to. The door closes and Lulu appears after taking a sit across from the tank. Lulu held a guilt ridden expression as she looks down biting her lip.
Just when she was about to speak, Shen takes the initiative.
"No worries, Lulu. My situation was merely an accident, that includes our recent match where I should've been more acute on my surroundings." Shen speaks with candor, but Lulu continues to look troubled.
"Speaking of which how did you find me?'
"Uh, well, only Akali, Ahri and Caitlyn knew about your transformation, so by law of deduction, I managed to find you. He he he." Lulu answers, scratching her head to show her bashfulness as well as letting out a nervous laugh.
"But back to the main topic. You wanted to apologize, correct?" said Shen as he kicks the box of adult magazines near his feet into a corner.
"U-um, I am super sorry about that, but I may have done something else worth apologizing for." Lulu fiddles her fingers while looking around, trying to avoid Shen's gaze.
"Lulu?" Shen asks with concern in his voice.
Then another guest bursts through the door. It was Fiora, the head of House Laurent, with an extreme look of smugness over her face. Shen's bewildered look then shifts over to Lulu.
"I may have told Fiora..." Lulu says, looking to the side.
Then Sona appears slowly opening the door and gently closing it behind her. She also gets a surprised look from Shen before he reverts his eyes.
"And Sona too, b-but at least I came in the middle of the night to tell you." Lulu says defensively.
"Also Ashe, Soraka and Nami, since it would be unfair to them." Lulu admits, but in a low voice.
"Ah, it's master!" Zenzo calls out inside Shen's head.
"Un, Sona is here too." Amp with more playful tone calls out.
Shen attempts to think up a strategy to get out of his predicament, but a saber pressed against his cheek didn't allow for such thing. Everyone held a different expression, however they all shared the same displeased feeling when facing the Eye of Twilight. Shen didn't know how to press forward, so he sat patiently for someone to talk.
"I'll get straight to it, Shen. I don't like you, but thanks to you, my urge to expand my lineage has become more apparent." Fiora tells him, pressing her sword under his chin.
"What's stopping you from asking someone else to provide that service?" Shen asks.
"Simple, I felt great compatibility between Zenzo and I. I'm still troubled when Lulu informed me that I wouldn't see him anymore, but meeting Zenzo opened my eyes to my real objective."
"That objective must be..."
"Correct, leading a new generation of grand duelists under the Laurent flag. Of course, I prefer those duelists to carry the blood of Laurent royalty."
"Your decision to come to me doesn't..." Shen gets cut off again.
"Isn't it logical to think that a child with you means a child like Zenzo."
"I understand, but still..."
"I'm also aware of the fact that you used Zenzo as your little spy camera."
"That's not true in the..."
"You saw things that you shouldn't have, therefore take responsibility. Sona feels the same as well." said Fiora, sheathing her sword and pointing back at Sona who was embarrassed and blushing bright red.
"Ah Sona says,"Mother wants five if possible, but three will suffice." Gasp! Maybe mother wants to start a band!" Amp crys out, causing Shen to groan internally.
"Three?" Shen says to himself. So far he couldn't see anything good from having children.
"Hmmm, three sounds good." Fiora says, rubbing her chin.
"Ah, I don't mean..." Shen looks over to Sona who turned a deeper shade of red.
"Sona asks,"Can you hear me?" said Amp.
Shen nods his head, but just enough for Fiora not to notice. Otherwise, it would appear that he was in agreement with the Grand Duelist.
"Another message incoming! She says ten now. Ten what?" Amp asks, but gets no answer.
"T-ten." Shen struggles to word out.
"Ten? That's a good number, I'm happy to see you take the initiative, Eye of Twilight." Fiora says, smiling at the amount.
"Wait a minute, don't you two understand the consequences of forming a bond with me? You risk becoming an enemy to Zed and the Order of Shadows." Shen says, slightly raising his voice.
"Then we should copulate in secret. In all honesty, I don't find you suitable to be my partner, but I find you necessary." said Fiora.
Shen was deeply disturbed by Fiora's words making him feel like livestock and Sona's message was no different, her words being,"Mother is more interested in grandchildren and less so about a son-in-law, but if our relationship is kept secret, then doesn't it work out?"
Shen gave Sona a fatigued expression, but his worries continue to grow when Caitlyn storms in.
"Just as Fiora stated, we really only want offspring to pass the torch off too. In a sense, aren't we doing you a favor in growing the Kinkou Order?" said the sheriff, making Shen sweat.
She's right, he would provide the Kinkou with future generations and with them being born in secret, then their safety would be guaranteed. However, something in Shen's mind continued to pester him. Then he noticed Lulu missing. A good hour elapsed with Shen convincing the three to find more suitable partners, but their commitment to have children similar to the mini tanks was beyond persistent. So far Shen found himself trying to battle logic.
"What about the Institute of War and your place in the League?" Shen asks.
"I can easily change my goals since raising the strongest House in Demacia sounds more rewarding and redeeming than just being the best duelist." Fiora sternly tells him.
"Sona says that future generations of musicians for House Buvelle is more important." said Amp.
"Indeed, considering your genes and background, our child would be tanky, but an expert marksman at the same time. Ideal for a lawenforcer." Caitlyn adds in.
"Any child can achieve that with proper training."
Shen was starting to get tired and it was already four in the morning. Just when Shen felt like leaving, Soraka and Nami enter the crowded room, blocking his escape. Not to mention Lulu was still missing.
"I heard everything, Shen. Going through with this plan will very well force everyone here to retire from the League." Soraka says, holding a decisive look.
"My point exactly that's why..."
"That's why we will also cooperate in this ritual." said Nami as she lifts a fist of confidence.
"No, wait. What's happening right now?" Shen asks in a panic as the girls corner him, blocking off all exits and silencing him with Soraka's Equinox.
"This may sound eccentric coming from me, but my heart is not ready." Shen's last ditch effort took everyone by surprise, but after looking at each other, they simultaneously go into attack mode.
By the time noon came around, champion after champion came out of the interrogation room with smoother skin.
"We are quite fortunate that Shen recovers energy quickly." Fiora tells the group.
"I hope I didn't demuse him with my body." Nami asks, concerned.
"I would worry about that later. Just doing it once is not a guarantee, so I'll keep a ward on him." Caitlyn says while she heads to the locker rooms to freshen up.
"To think a Star Child mothering another Star Child in the near future. Oh yes, destiny." Soraka sighs at the thought of raising an apprentice.
Sona rubs her belly, in hopes to bring more life into House Buvelle. Her mother will be most definitely pleased.
Back in the room, Shen lays on the ground with his hoodie ripped opened and boxer briefs disheveled. Luckily the mini Shens roaming in his conscience went dormant during the whole ordeal, protecting their innocence.
"Waah! Shenpai is d-dead!" Madoc cries.
"No, he's just tired from fighting, crybaby. You should've worn your armor, your clothes are all messed up, Shenpai." Zenzo tells him.
"Hmm, Amp and Hoshi are missing." Shin says.
"Was this really supposed to happen?" Shen asks himself, ignoring the voices in his head.
