. I read your speedy review and this is your reward. Less than 24 hours later, a new chapter with somewhat of a bitchy cliff hanger again. Not as bitchy as before though. Heh heh...not yet at least. Also, Ark (something something something something) I won't read...or maybe I will...seems interesting. I recommend the story by Koiyaki, The Chain Warden.
Now that's that done, please read and enjoy people of the inter webs!
Mordekasier, Ahri, Nami, Soraka, Sona, Nautilus, and Jarvan all gathered by the portal, nodding to each other before going in. As they appeared at Pilotver, Katarina stood there, hands on hips and a smirk across her face.
"Vi and Caitlyin, Piltover's finest, will be joining us. They don't like the fact someone's kidnapping people on their turf, it kind of pisses them off… a lot."
"Good to hear," Jarvan said, taking the lead as he was a prince, and had experience leading others. "So, where is he?"
"Did I even say who we're going against?"
"…no…"
"Oh okay then, it's Talon," she said, dropping the bomb like it was nothing.
"TALON?! That bastard," Morde growled, desiring nothing but blood, well, maybe that and Talon's head on a spike. "Why don't we take care of him at the Institute?"
"He's protected there idiot," she said with a roll of her eyes. "Not to mention, he can run and hide. So we need to catch him off guard, so I have a plan…gather around and listen."
"How do we know you're not working with him?" Jarvan asked, still hesitant to trust someone who tried assassinating him multiple times.
"He told me to suck your dick, so yeah, I want revenge too."
"Oh…fair enough…please continue…"
"Alright, listen to this…"
Talon hummed, setting down his tools as he looked over the half dragon, who was breathing hard and trying to control herself.
"You're good, I'll give you that."
"Go…to…hell…"
"We'll be going there together, no doubt, but before that, I'll have my-" He was cut off as the doorbell to the apartment rang. He snapped his head around, looking at Shyvana before slamming the door closed. "Stay quiet now, hate to use the clamps again."
He went to the door, opening it and looking at a girl with large breasts that seemed fairly young. She had a baseball cap on that covered her eyes, and a backpack that had, "Pizza Boys" on it. She even had a T-shirt with the logo and a pair of skinny jeans. "Um, pizza? Didn't you order one?" She asked, timid, as the man before her in his cloak was quite imposing.
Talon was silent for a few moments before he realized what happed. She was new, and ended up at the wrong address. "Yeah…sure…" He yanked the pizza from her hands, and slammed the door in her face.
"P-please order again," she said softly, before walking up the steps and to the road. She yanked off the as the cap, revealing her fox ears. She walked up to Katarina as she threw the empty backpack at her, her tails sliding out from it.
"Christ, that was uncomfortable," she muttered, before grinning. "So, was that good enough?"
"Yup, as soon as he eats it, we go and get him. I'd say in a few hours, when the sun goes down, we go in. Until then," she took out a deck of cards. "I stole these from T.F. Anyone know how to play poker?"
"I do!" Ahri said as she bounced forward, their group in a circle. "Strip poker, got to know how to play poker to play strip poker, and lose on purpose after all!"
Shyvana could smell pizza, and wondered if he would give her some. He walked in, a slice of pizza and a glass of water in hand. "Here, eat up, it's all you're getting. Need you with some energy so I can break you and have fun.
She rolled her eyes, but shivered slightly, not enjoying the next session she was going to have with him.
As he extracted useless information from her, he occasionally took breaks to eat the pizza, Shyvana glad for whatever poor soul had delivered the pizza to the wrong place, and had given her some breaks between torture sessions.
Ahri grinned as she tallied another win to a little notepad Jarvan had graciously given her, she didn't ask and he didn't tell where he pulled it from, as the others groaned collectively, another loss for them all.
"So, another game?"
"NO!"
"Awwww, I just wanna win some more. Well, good thing we're not playing strip poker, everyone would be naked besides me, and I'd be naked for the hell of it!"
They sighed and shook their heads, Katarina leaning back and looking at the sky.
"Should be right around now…" she muttered, Soraka looking over at her.
"Time for what?"
"Time for us, to catch us a Talon!"
Everyone stood up at that, Ahri hiding the cards in the case before putting them in her kimono, supposedly hiding it in her bra, if what she said is true.
"Okay formations," Jarvan said, clapping his hands. Mordekaiser and Nautilus stood at the road, large weapons drawn as they couldn't maneuver well in tight stops, like inside a building. Caitylin took up a sniper's spot at the top of a nearby roof. Sona, Soraka, and Nami stood with the two brutes, ready to heal anyone once they were out or if they got hurt. Katarina, Ahri, Vi, and Jarvan would march in there, even if Jarvan was a bit outmatched considering the environment. He was sufficient in hand to hand combat though, and Katarina was there to back him up.
Right before they went in, Katarina stopped. "I'll be in the back alley. He'll try to escape there, and I can cut him off."
"Alright," Jarvan said as she vanished, now partly worried for his safety. Nami came up, floating on her thing of water.
"I'll come with you guys. I can at least help."
"Thanks Nami," Jarvan said with a nod before they headed for the basement door. Not waiting to knock, Jarvan through his spear through it blasting it apart before rushing towards his spear and yanking it out the wall. Talon had been nodding off on the sofa, the drugs working, but he sat up and hopped away.
"DAMNIT! How did you guys find me!" He yelled, before laughing. "That bitch…oh well, shit happens, my job is done anyway. Have fun with your broken pet!" He opened the basement window, narrowly dodging Ahri's charm and Nami's bubble as he sprinted out and began running down the alley.
Kat stood there, twirling her daggers as she smirked at him. "Enjoy the reception?"
"So much so, did you have fun licking Jarvan's balls?"
"Oh, your ass is dead!" She rushed forward, Talon drawing his knives, but gasping as sudden pain flared throughout all his muscles, his body freezing up.
"Can't move…" he growled, trying to raise an arm to defend himself, but right before Kat would have hit him, she raised a foot, kicking him out of the alley and in front of Nautilus and Mordekaiser. Jarven, Nami, Vi, and Ahri came out from the building, watching Kat come out and look at them.
"What? He's all yours boys, I'm done here. I'm leaving before I get in trouble." She turned and walked down the alley she had come from, hips swaying.
"Damn you…Kat…" Talong growled, getting onto his feet only to feel a ball of water wrap around him, Nami glaring at him.
"How dare you hurt my friend!" she screamed at him as he fought for breath. Nautilus swung his anchor at him, knocking him out of a building and into a car, the hood crumpling under the force. He narrowly rolled out of a hit from Morde, the mace grazing his shoulder and still causing a lot of pain. He staggered to his feet, only to get knocked down with Vi's fists and get pummeled into the ground.
"How…dare…you…kidnap…someone…in…my…town!" she growled with each punch, intending ons ending him to kingdom come. He eventually rolled for a punch, only to find Jarvan there.
"Hello…Talon…" he smiled an overly sweet smile, before his face began incredibly dark. "Tell me what hell's like, okay?"
He swung his spear into his crotch, Talon's eyes going wide as he let out a soft cry, his mouth hanging open before he landed on his side, passed out.
Sona came forward and check him, before strumming her instrument. "6 broken ribs, a broken leg, a broken foot, two broken arms, broken fingers, a skull fracture, and he won't be able to reproduce for a while, if ever. I did a quick check."
"Good," Morde said, setting down his mace. "Bastard deserved it."
"No cussing."
"Sorry," Morde said, scratching the back of his head. "It's true though."
"That it is," Jarvan said, before remembering why they were there. "Shyvana!" he looked at their 3 healers. "Come with me girls, I might…I will need you."
He went down to the now shamashed door, and went to the room with the only clsed door, so that had to be where Shyvana was. He opened the door, peaking inside and immedietly closed the doors, breathing hard.
"Oh…god…girls…stay here…one of you call the hospital."
"Are you sure?" Soraka asked, tilting her head. "Us three couldn't heal her together?"
"JUST DO IT!" He yelled, snapping at them, making them jump back in shock. Jarvan had only been this mad one other time, and that was when Ahri tried to seduce him by stripping in his own bedroom. "You don't want to see what she looks like. Trust me"
They nodded solemnly, not wanting to know what had happened to Shyvana. They went outside where everyone was gathered with a now cuffed Talon, thanks to Caitlyn bringing a pair of cuffs with her.
He took a deep breath, yanked the door open and went inside and stared at Shyvana. Her once lively, flaming eyes were a dull red, she had blood seeping from wounds across her body and was stripped naked. Her body quivered from blood loss, and her body was as pale as an Irish ginger's skin. She didn't even seem to notice hi as he walked in, her eyes off in another world.
"Shyvana?" he called out softly, although looking at her just hurt him. "Shyvana?" he said, a bit louder.
Her eyes seemed to focus a bit on him. "Jar…van?"
"Yup its me…Jarvan, just stay with my voice. I'm going to get you out of here."
"N-no! Don't! I-if you do, T-talon will…he'll…" she shivered, so Jarvan rushed forward and ignored the fact she was naked and bleeding, wrapped his arms around her.
"Shhh, don't worry. Don't worry. He's not coming for you anymore…"
"Yes he is! He's going to get me and torture me again!" she screamed, trashing in his arms and forcing him to let go as he stared at her in shock.
What did he do to you… he thought, reaching out to try to comfort her, but drawing her hand back. He could hear an ambo outside, and heard the talking of medics. He took his spear, and pointed the but of it at her.
"Sorry. I really, don't want to do this," he said honestly, his eyes filled with sadness as he slammed the butt of his spear into her head, knocking her out quickly. He untied her and carried her, bridal style to the stretched outside. He kept her obscured from view from the others as he sat her down, the medics covering her up and wheeling her into the ambo.
He joined them, his armor covered in her blood.
Nami gasped at the sight of it, her face going pale. "Is that all…"
"Yeah…it is…" he said, solemnly, finishing her thought. Nami grabbed onto Nautilus to keep herself up as she nearly passed out, Nautilus looking at his friend, worried.
"She should be okay," Caitlyn assured them, getting their attention. "I'll make sure she gets the best doctors from around the world, and the best treatment."
Jarvan nodded his thanks. "I will pay for it. She is my responsibility as one of my guards, so I won't take anything from anyone else, or any excuse."
They knew better than to argue with the prince when his mind was set on something, and this was one of those things.
"So um…should we go to the hospital and wait?"
"I'll go," Ahri offered. Sona offered as well, and told the others to get some sleep.
They nodded their thanks. "Are you sure you don't want me to stick with you to make sure you're okay and safe?" Morde asked Sona, worried slightly.
"Don't worry about me," she said with a weak smile. "I'll be okay. I have Ahri too!"
"If you say so…goodnight Sona, Ahri, everyone." They all said their farewells as they split off, Jarvan staying around. He looked at the two of them and sighed, reaching out to place and arm on each of their shoulders and stare them in the eyes.
"Listen to me, she's not herself right now. I don't know what happened, but I plan on finding out. Until then, please try to get her back to her old self. Talon probably broke her mind."
Ahri for once, completely serious nodded with Sona. "Don't worry, we'll help her no matter what. I owe her."
"And she's my friend. My music might help," Sona said, more hopeful than anything.
"Thanks you two…really…" he rubbed his eyes, a sudden tiredness sweeping over him. "Since Vi and Caitlyn took Talon away, I'm off to bed. Goodnight you two, and please, do your best."
With that, he turned and walked down the street as the others headed to the hospital, praying to their gods that Shyvana would be alright.
So yeah, what will happen to Shyvana? Favorite or follow to find out! Anyway, this is Qopster, wishing everyone a good day, night, or noon as he leaves you all. Adieu!
