(February 4th. 2015 – 9:40 PM Earth time – Overlord's Throne, the Void)
A hooded man was inspecting the scene as it was being unfolded. A young Summoner losing to three Yordles. He sighed as a portal opened from his right, a man wearing a big black purple-ish jacket with a scarf that matched the colors of the first, also wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, helping him stay hidden in the darkness ¨Ah Ralzith, I can see you were exploring this new world¨ Malzahar inspected his acolyte's clothes but he resumed looking at the fight between the Summoner and the Yordles.
¨It's a strange one sire, but they don't seem to oppose a threat to our invasion¨ Ralzith commented and walked towards the image showing Nick ¨ Why are you looking at that pathetic human sire? He can't even fight against even more pathetic creatures¨ Malzahar grunted standing from his throne and getting closer to the image.
¨He is no simple human. He is a Summoner, yet he doesn't know his true power¨ Ralzith was surprised, according to the Institute there weren't Summoners from other worlds however the High Summoner always told them that the other worlds had no intelligent life and thus no control of magic.
¨Does that mean that our invasion is at risk? We must kill him before- ¨Ralzith's words were cut by Malzahar's chuckle.
¨The invasion is NOT at risk my acolyte, but just in case I'm sending you in, with a little help of course¨ The overlord moved his hands and a creature came from a portal at his left.
This purple creature was grinning, flapping his insect-like wings ready to fly, it's sharped teeth and claws were able to cut through any metal without any problem. It was Kha'Zix, the Voidreaver ¨You called master?¨ The creature bowed in front of the two men, Malzahar nodded looking back at Ralzith.
¨I want you to keep an eye on him, and confront when he is most vulnerable. Bring him alive if possible; if he resists kill him… and his champion too¨ Ralzith nodded as both champion and Summoner crossed a portal leaving the throne room.
Malzahar walked back to his throne and sat looking at a now frozen image of Nick ¨Are you the one the Runeterrans were talking about?¨
(February 4th. 2015 – 9:40 PM– Nick's house, New York, Earth)
Nick struggled to break free but the Yordles tied him up quite well ¨Bandle city?! What the- Just… just untie me and I'll help you¨ One of the Yordles removed the blindfold but not the ropes, Nick's eyes tried to get used to the light in the house as he saw a small creature with pointy ears and light purple skin that was stood up on his torso aiming a cannon that slightly bigger than her at his face.
¨It will be quite sad to see your face go boom¨ the lady with pointy ears was Tristana the Yordle Gunner, at his left another Yordle was standing inspecting the Summoner, he was wearing an explorer's hat with a feather on top of it, from his neck a spyglass was hanging and on his left hand a blowgun, it was Teemo, one of Nick's most hated champions since trolls used them on his ranked games.
When he looked at his right he saw another Yordle, this one with pointy ears as well and light blue fur covering his skin. He was wearing a small shirt and goggles, the Mechanized Menace whose name was Rumble was looking at him with an angry look ¨Look, you want me to help you but being tied and and/or dead will not be wise¨ Nick tried to reason with the tiny people making them doubt about their decisions.
Tristana moved her cannon from Nick's face and jumped out to Teemo's side, Rumble walked to them and started whispering on a strange language, probably Yordle's tongue ¨ (I gave myself some time, maybe if I exhaust one of them I can run to Leona and wake her up. That will be 2v2 fight)¨
The trio looked back at their hostage with a plan on their heads. ¨You are right Summoner, but know this: if you do something strange we will tie you again. Understand? ¨
Teemo spoke from the group grabbing a small knife from his pouch as Nick nodded, moving preparing himself to use the exhaust spell. As we has being untied he tried to caress his wrists while he prepared for the spell ¨Now you are free. Shall we discuss this small society? ¨ The Summoner was curious, until he could use exhaust there was enough time to listen to what they had to offer.
Nick nodded awaiting for the Yordle's plan ¨Listen, we have been teleported into this world and you probably heard more champions got here as well¨ Rumble tried to inform the tall man who already knew about the outbreak ¨There is only one way for us to return to Runeterra and that is with the help of a Summoner¨ Nick was confused, he was a simple League player a couple days ago and now he was making an alliance with characters from his favorite videogame.
Rumble was snapping his fingers trying to make the boy return to reality ¨Will you help us?¨
Nick shook his head making the Yordles frown their eyebrows ¨I'm… I'm sorry, this is quite weird for me. I'm no Summoner, I'm just a simple boy who had went through mysterious events. Nothing else¨
Teemo walked to the raven haired boy hitting him with his spyglass, despite his size he had a strong arm ¨We saw you practicing with the lady of the sun Lina¨
¨…Leona… ¨ Tristana sighed doing a face palm.
¨Look. You may be right, I MAY be a Summoner but I still don't know how to cast spells properly¨ Rumble walked away and jumped on the couch¨Then we shall wait until you become a full Summoner. We can stay here, it's not the same as our houses at Bandle but it should work¨
Nick stood up seeing as the Yordles were getting comfy on the couch or as he wanted to call it: his bed ¨You… you can't stay, I mean what if Leona discovers you are here? Besides I don't have any other places to sleep¨
Tristana laughed dropping the cannon on the ground, it made a big thud noise that it could leave a hole in the ground ¨Well you can always sleep with your girlfriend up there¨ Nick blushed, did they actually thought he and Leona were a couple?
Sure they were quite happy having each other but not that much. ¨I… you...¨ He was speechless, was he feeling something for his champion after meeting for two days? The Summoner managed to snap back into reality ¨Rumble if all of your friends have their equipment here how could you forget your machine at Runeterra?¨
The blue furred Yordle yawned ¨I never said I forgot about Tristy. She's on your backyard¨ Nick's mouth dropped, a big metallic machine on at the back of his house could easily be seen by anyone and will definitely attract a lot of attention, a LOT of unwanted attention ¨Relax, it's cloaked, no one will know it's there until I deactivate it from the inside¨ Rumble was playing with a key ring that had tiny version of his machine attached to it.
The tall man sighed, relieved ¨Now if you allow us turn the lights off¨ Nick shook his head going to the entrance and turning all of the lights off letting the champions sleep ¨ (Now where do I sleep?) ¨ He thought to himself hearing a small whisper calling his name from the stairs, when he turned, he saw the ginger wearing one of Nick's shirts but no pants covering her underwear. She pointed to her (his) room and both climbed the stairs towards the bedroom.
After closing the door Nick turned on the lights and saw Leona's attire making him blush but she smiled trying to avoid laughing at his reaction ¨So… what did you hear?¨ He turned trying to avoid making eye contact with his champion.
¨The enough. And if you are asking, they are right about you being a pivotal part into their plan¨ Nick walked around the room trying to figure out what to do next ¨You ARE a Summoner Nick. You just… haven't discovered your full potential¨ He sat on the bed covering his face with his hands, Leona knew she was stressed and sat at his side patting him on the back.
¨So what now? Did I became the hero of this story? What about Matt or Claire? It's just… it's hard to process all of this¨ The Radiant Dawn hugged him but it made Nick blush even more.
¨People change Nick. I've met a lot of people on Runeterra and I can tell you, some people are not the same¨ He removed his hands from his face and looked at Leona who was smiling at him.
He returned the smile and the hug ¨Thanks Leo. Never though you would be a great… support¨ She separated from the Summoner and placed her head on the pillow getting comfortable on the bed, she was patting the side of the bed telling Nick to hop in but he shook his head.
¨I do not bite, Summoner¨ that word made his blood freeze ¨I can offer you a place to sleep at my side, I won't do nothing. I promise¨ He shrugged as he didn't have any options left, when he placed his head on the pillow Leona got closer to his ear ¨But if you try something I'll make sure to cut your balls in half¨ She chuckled closing her eyes but Nick couldn't as he gulped, surprised about that answer from her.
(February 4th. 2015 – 11:15 PM– Matt's house, New York, Earth)
Matt was sitting on the couch cleaning and polishing the rifle while listening to some classical music from his phone. Caitlyn was at the kitchen filling some cups with tea, she placed them on a tray and carried to where Matt was. The tray had two cups of tea and a teapot which had steam coming out of it, at the side there were a couple of cupcakes, the same ones Cait used on her traps.
The Summoner unplugged his headphones and inspected the meal the sheriff brought ¨Uh… Cait, I'm not against you preparing this but you know it's almost midnight right?¨ The Champion sat at his side grabbing a cup of tea and taking a sip from it.
¨This was a tradition between me and Vi back at Piltover, we both sat at my office around this hour drinking a cup of tea, then we discussed about the crimes we solved that day at the city¨ Matt grabbed one of the cupcakes giving it a closer look, it smelled delicious.
¨This smells… wonderful! But how did you make them? I mean, what did you use ?¨ Caitlyn remained silent but a small chuckle came from her lips
¨That's a recipe I won't share with you¨ the sheriff winked at him which made Matt blush, he quickly grabbed the cup and started taking a long sip from it .trying to hide the red in his cheeks.
Matt I have a question… Why me? ¨ He put the cup back on the tray with a confused look he opened his mouth but was interrupted by Caitlyn again ¨There are lots of champions in the League that are more powerful, yet you chose someone whose power is inferior to the rest¨
The Summoner patted his champion's back smiling at her ¨It was not about being powerful or such. I liked your character back in the game, being a sheriff and using a rifle¨ She was speechless, but those kind words made her smile ¨Plus you look sex- uh… cute in that dress¨ Matt was able to change words fast but it made Cait blush anyway.
Even if he tried to hide his original words Cait suspected something so she stood up from his original place on the couch and sat on her Summoner's legs ¨Cait… what are you do-¨He was cut when one of her fingers shut his words. She got closer to his face but then turned to his ear.
¨You know how to make a girl smile… but it's not the right time yet¨ She whispered with a flirty tone giving a slight kiss on Matt's cheek then she stood up and walked to her bedroom ¨Good night Matt¨ She winked once again at him closing the door behind her.
The Summoner was frozen with his hand on the kissed cheek, when he snapped back into reality he smiled ¨(Not the right time… Alright)¨ Matt grabbed one of the cupcakes Cait left and started eating it still caressing the kissed cheek.
(February 4th. 2015 – 10:00 PM– Outside of Nick's house, New York, Earth)
Two people were standing outside of Nick's house inspecting the front. One of them was Ralzith wearing a scarf and a very warm hoodie which covered his entire face, the other one was wearing heavy winter clothes but unlike the Void Summoner his face was not covered, when he opened his mouth sharp teeth like daggers were coming out of it, his purple eyes were hard to conceal his true identity ¨For how much time do I have to use this ugly disguise?¨
The echoing voice of Kha'Zix filled the silence that was between them ¨When the time is right you will no longer need it. Besides this is where our objective lives¨ Kha'Zix started walking towards the home but Ralzith grabbed the beast's shoulder putting a halt on it ¨There are far more champions in there than the overlord mentioned. We cannot attack right now, but we'll keep an eye on the Summoner now that we found his home…¨ Ralzith's voice trailed off as both of them walked away into the shadows.
