(February 20th 2015 – 1:10 PM – Outside of Claire's university, New York, Earth)
It's been a week since there were no sightings of the Void creatures around the world, nor any other champions. It was a boring week for the group where training occupied most of their day, while Claire and Matt managed to complete it, Nick was still working on the last spells. The blonde girl was still not sure about joining the group and thus Claire called her for a meeting at the shopping.
The brown haired Summoner was waiting at the outside of her university by a bench inspecting constantly at her clock and her sides looking at the people that were passing by. Without her noticing two girls sat at her side, their faces almost covered showed some strands of hair coming from their caps showing some orange and red colors.
¨I know your training is complete but is it necessary to do this? You can have your free time when we are done¨ The redhead assassin sighed looking at her Summoner who was distracted on her phone ¨Besides why bring Leona here? Nick hasn't finished his training yet¨ Katarina was carrying a backpack with her daggers inside, she didn't wanted to leave the house unarmed.
Claire stood up grabbing her backpack but still looking at her phone with a smile on her face ¨Nick could use some rest, all of us had a rough week training¨ She started to walk to the right, the champions followed her.
¨So where are we going exactly?¨ Leona huffed placing her hands on the pockets from the coat, hiding them from the cold.
¨We are going to the shopping, we'll meet Marie there¨
¨Marie? The Summoner? Thought she wasn't going to help us¨ Kat asked surprised.
¨She will not, but if we try to befriend her again maybe she'll listen to us¨
The group kept walking, the champions didn't have that much time to explore the city and now Claire was giving them a brief tour, their astonished looks showed how amazed they were as they never saw a city like this, big buildings disappearing into the sky, hordes of people walking in the streets without crashing at each other, the amount of lights and colors mixing between each other hypnotized the foreigners, not even Piltover with their technological advances could compare with what they saw. Up front another big structure was standing, very well decorated with a big amount of windows.
¨What is this place? Its huge!¨ Leona could barely talk, looking at every side of the structure.
¨This is our meeting place, the shopping mall¨ The Summoner grabbed their arms and dragged them inside ¨You won't see anything if you keep admiring from the outside¨
Inside a lot of shops were standing at their left and right, just like in the streets a big amount of people were walking in this majestic place, a lot of them laughing, carrying bags or just talking. The skylight at the top of the building illuminated all of the floors of the mall with the warmth from the sun. Claire dragged the champions towards the elevator and pressed a button making a red light appear above them that pointed down.
The doors opened and the Summoner walked inside, both Leona and Katarina were afraid to go in ¨You won't enjoy your life if you paranoid all the time¨ She held the door for the other two to enter which was almost instant.
¨We were trained to be alert at all time on the Rift, it is necessary to be prepared¨ Kat crossed her arms as the elevator arrived to the fourth floor of the mall, the doors opened and outside of it a group of people were waiting to get in. The trio managed to get out fast without getting caught by the horde who tried to enter.
¨We are supposed to meet Marie here¨ They were standing on a bridge that connected both sides of the mall, the champions leaned over the railing looking at the people that were walking below them.
¨It's amazing how you can fit a city like this in another city. The architects of your world are very talented¨ Leona didn't changed her face since she arrived, complete amazement in her eyes that snapped when she heard the brown haired Summoner laugh.
¨Our world is as big as yours, some places might remind you to Ionia or Demacia¨ Claire leaned over the railing as well, on the floor below a blonde girl was walking alongside another person whose face was covered, not even the hair was visible, on the upper floor the brown haired whistled getting the attention of some of the people below including Marie. As Claire waved her hands at the Summoner below who headed to the stairs immediately.
¨What are you looking down there?¨ The voice of Marie came from behind them, the trio turned and saw the blonde with a friend of her at the side, he was wearing a black coat surrounded by a rope of chains, from his belt a key was hanging, a scarf was blocking his mouth while a hood strapped to the back of the coat was covering his hair ¨I thought you wanted to come here for a shopping day, not for a Summoner-Champion meeting¨ She said while looking at the Radiant Dawn ¨I remember you. You must be Leona¨ Marie then turned to the redhead ¨Your hair… and your scar in the eye, you are…¨ the Summoner was cut by Kat who waved her hand.
¨If you didn't want us to come here then why bring your friend along?¨ The Noxian assassin walked towards the mysterious companion the blonde brought.
¨It's impressive that one of the top assassins from Noxus cannot identify one of its kin¨ the deep echoing voice from the hooded man was a mystery for the trio. He coughed and removed his headwear revealing the face of what appeared to be a skeleton, his hair made of chains acted as dreadlocks were floating on top of his skull. Even though his face was the one from the real Thresh no green flames erupted from his body, gladly no one was looking at the group. ¨It is a fine pleasure to meet you once again Radiant Dawn, even if our weapons are not clashing at the rift¨
¨Wait, so that means you are-¨ Claire started to speak but Thresh cut her before she could finish.
¨A Summoner from the Shadow Isles? Indeed. But that is not the only thing she is hiding from you, her hands can tell you another story…¨ The Chain Warden's voice trailed off as a smile was forming on his face.
¨What does he mean?¨ Claire asked skeptically walking towards the blonde but she gave a few steps back, however Thresh grabbed her by the arm and removed the left glove revealing claws instead of human fingers. Her hand was now replaced by the same skeletal one that the champion has ingame.
¨What happened to your… hand?¨ Claire pointed scared at her skeletal contraption.
¨I-I don't know. One day I woke up and found my hand transformed into this thing, I tried asking Thresh how it happened but he refuses to give me an answer¨
¨I already told you child, fear is what motivates me to move on. YOUR fear¨ His chuckle echoed like his voice frightening the people walking behind them.
Leona turned back again to the railing looking at the people walking on the floors below leaving the others to keep discussing, from the other side of the mall someone was watching them. When the ginger looked up she saw a duo looking at them, one of them had black hair similar to Nick while the other just covered his face, the former was holding a dog leash even though it didn't look like a dog. The champion tapped onto Claire's shoulder and pointed at the people on the other side. The Summoner leaned closer to have a better view of them but they disappeared.
Kat, Marie and Thresh leaned as well trying to spot what Claire was trying to see but nothing they had no clue what she was looking at ¨Uh… what are we supposed to see?¨ Marie caressed her abnormal hand that from time to time emitted a green glow similar to Thresh's.
¨It was someone… but I guess we are just seeing…¨ The brown haired turned, her voice trailed off as she saw behind her the people who were watching them from afar ¨…things¨
The group turned and froze when they saw the strangers in front of them, while Marie never saw them, the rest knew who they were. With a smile on his face Ralzith bowed in front of them however his companions did not move.
¨What are you doing here creep?¨ Katarina slowly grabbed her backpack and opened it grasping the handle of a dagger but she did not removed it from the bag yet.
¨Wait, you know this guy?¨ Marie asked surprised, even though she and Thresh saw the other Summoners fighting against someone she didn't knew who was their opponent.
¨Let's say we are… close friends¨ The Void Summoner started to walk slowly towards the group but stopped when Katarina pulled out the handle of the dagger ¨I came here to talk, there is no reason to attract unneeded attention, am I right?¨ The group looked at each other, Kat placed the dagger back into the backpack and closed it.
¨What do you want? We don't have all day here¨ Leona crossed her arms and frowned.
¨I want to give you an option. One that will help us both in avoiding conflicts in the future¨ Both Kha'Zix and Kog'Maw moved to the side of Ralzith, still using their normal disguises.
Thresh shook his head in disappointment ¨You are following the wrong master Ralzith, the one you know as the Overlord is just using you for his own plans¨ The Void Summoner laughed.
¨Don't you think I know already? I'm just a pawn in his game, but once I manage to complete this very task, the reward will be my freedom¨
¨Why are you a slave? And who is this Overlord you are talking about?¨ Marie looked between her friends and the strangers.
¨Enough of this! Let me explain you the situation: The Overlord wants you, Summoners, dead or alive. I believe you want to stay alive for some more time. My idea is that you are willing to turn in, this time you will be alive and no one else will get hurt. Especially family members¨ He turned to Claire who was quite confused about Ralzith's offer.
¨And what if we refuse your offer?¨ Kat opened again the backpack and grabbed the knife pulling it out completely. ¨It's five against three. We have the advantage¨ Ralzith nodded and pointed towards the ceiling, the Void champions stood back and so did the Summoner.
There was no response from him, instead a scream came from the other side of the mall, people were running and pointing towards a rocket that was flying towards the group's direction. They ran to the other side of the bridge but the projectile hit the elevator that was close to them making it fall and crash to the ground, gladly there was no one in it.
The group looked at the skylight on the roof, a small figure could be seen waving at them. The Loose cannon was preparing another rocket, at their right the Void champions were turning into their true form while Ralzith removed his coat as he crackled his knuckles ¨It doesn't matter if you have more people, the one with better tactics will always win¨
(February 20th 2015 – 1:20 PM – Matt's house, New York, Earth)
Nick was invited to the blonde's house for lunch, however Leona had different plans with Claire and Kat. In the kitchen, the Summoner and the Sheriff were preparing today's meal; at the side of Nick the enforcer was just playing with the cutlery, the table was already prepared and awaiting for the food to arrive.
¨You seem happy today, had a fun week?¨ Nick asked with a smug face.
¨Oh? I thought they told ye'¨ The raven haired turned to the enforcer who was smiling at the couple at the kitchen ¨They had a… kinky night¨ Matt and Caitlyn turned, both faces blushed at such accusation.
¨That ain't true, we haven't done anything last night!¨ Matt took a took some plates from the table and started to place some meat on them.
¨Come on! I heard you talking. Your faces are completely red, if it's not true then you shouldn't blush¨
¨Matt was just asking some things from Pilt- Wait, did you spy on us?¨ Caitlyn had a dumbfounded expression on her face, the blonde Summoner placed all the plates back on the table and dragged the sheriff sitting at his side.
¨Pf, as if I've never spied on you back when you were with Jayce. I remember something like: Oh Jayce, show me that cannon form of yours¨ Vi tried to imitate her partner's voice which made Nick laugh, however not only Matt but Caitlyn's face got even more red.
¨Nick you gotta believe us, we wouldn't do that!¨ Matt tried to control Nick's laugh which was getting quieter until he stopped.
¨Oh I do believe you, you're my friend. Besides you don't even have the balls to pull that up¨ The Summoner covered his mouth trying not to laugh again.
¨The same balls you have when you try to talk to Leona?¨ Caitlyn teased him making Vi and Matt laugh this time.
¨Hey... don't talk to me like that, she is a girl who is hard to approach, that's all¨ Nick started to eat his meal trying to ignore the other three.
¨Hard to approach or you're just the same guy from school?¨ It was Matt's turn to take revenge, Vi's laughs were just getting louder.
¨Seems that the couple is on fire!¨ Vi calmed herself and began eating, still trying to cover her mouth to avoid laughing.
¨Nick she won't be running at you. You gotta show that you love her¨ Matt spoke whilst his mouth was full.
¨Either that or put something on her drink. It always works¨ Vi smirked
¨That's not the way Vi!¨ Caitlyn then turned to Nick ¨I'm pretty sure Leona and you will be a great couple, but Blondie is right, initiative is what youhave to show her¨
¨I have initiative! I can do many things such as…¨ Nick's phone was vibrating, he got it out of his pocket and looked at it, it was a message from Claire ¨… those and that, you know me¨ The Summoner read the message while drinking some water but he almost choke before getting to the end
¨I'm sure a good relationship shouldn't start at a hospital¨ Matt chuckled and saw Nick standing up and cleaning his mouth. ¨What's the problem?¨ The raven haired handed his phone to the blonde who started to read the message aloud ¨Ral, Kog, Kha and Jinx at the mall. Help. Bring weapons¨
As soon as Vi heard the psychopath's name she stood up and walked to the couch were two bags containing her gauntlets lied on the ground. Caitlyn ran towards the bedroom to prepare herself while Matt left the phone on the table for Nick to pick it up, the blonde headed towards the garage and prepared the vehicle, the rest met with him outside of the house.
¨I need to stop by my house, Leona left her sword and shield there¨ Nick ran towards his house but Caitlyn grabbed him by the arm.
¨We'll go with the car, stop at your house then head directly to the mall¨ Matt shouted from the inside as he was advancing with his vehicle.
¨Hell no! Last time you drove we almost ended up in jail because you were drunk. I'd rather risk my life against a Void demon than you!¨ Nick shook but Caitlyn pushed him to the passenger seat closing the door. On the back Vi was placing her gauntlets and the sheriff's rifle on the trunk, once closed they climbed into the backseats.
(February 20th 2015 – 1:45 PM – Shopping Mall, New York, Earth)
Another rocket flew towards the group but they managed to run from it, while none of them got injured, the missile destroyed the bridge that connected both sides of the mall leaving The Voidborns and the Summoners divided by a big gap, but not for long. Kha'Zix started to run forward and jumped to the other side.
¨Just Run!¨ Claire shouted as she grabbed Marie's arm and ran away from the creature, Kat took from her backpack a belt that was holding a lot of daggers and put it around her waist. The coated champion revealed his true form, flames were coming out igniting his head, a lantern appeared on his left hand whilst a hook on his right one, Leona ran with the Summoners trying to protect them in case the Voidborns tried to advance.
Jinx dropped from the roof using a rope and landed in front of them ¨Keep running, soon your feet will get tired¨ A maniacal laugh came from the Loose Cannon, Marie tried to release from the brown haired's grasp but it was useless.
From the other side of the mall Ralzith and Kog'Maw were following the Summoners, when the Zaunite champion halted them the Mouth of the Abyss threw a long range spit that melted the wall between Jinx and the trio. The Void Summoner walked with his pet towards the group while Kha'Zix was still fighting against the Noxian and the Chain Warden.
¨I will ask you again: Are you willing to turn in?¨ Claire shook her head and turned to Jinx who was pointing her Zap gun towards her ¨Let's try one more time¨ Ralzith sighed ¨Jinx bring them here, please?¨ The Summoner walked towards the railing bringing Marie, Claire and Leona with him
¨Last time…¨ He grabbed Marie and pushed her towards the railing ¨… Are. You. Going. To. Turn. In?¨ The blonde shook her head and the Void Summoner pulled her back away from the railing but still grasping her neck ¨No hard feelings¨ Ralzith pushed her from the railing
(February 20th 2015 – 2:00 PM – Mall's parking lot, New York, Earth)
Many cars were leaving the place and they were the only ones at the parking. When all of the cars left the metallic doors that served as entrance and exit were now shut. As Matt parked the car they could hear the sound of fighting on the floors above them, the group left the car and went directly to the stairs.
Vi grabbed her gauntlets from the bags and placed them on, Caitlyn on the other hand was preparing her rifle and adjusting the lenses from her hat while Nick was trying to drag the sword from Leona with the help of Matt who was carrying the shield. Climbing up the stairs the four of them got to the first floor where a lot of people were screaming and evacuating the mall, when they looked up a blonde girl was falling from the fourth floor.
They saw Marie falling down but another person caught her in mid air, this time it was Claire who hugged the blonde trying to protect her from the fall, the champions downstairs tried to catch them both but before getting to the ground they disappeared. The Summoners looked around and saw Claire and Marie behind them unharmed.
¨Marie! Claire! What's going on?¨ Nick helped the girls back up
¨We must go back upstairs, Kat, Thresh and Leo are fighting¨ Claire wiped the dust from her clothes and ran to the stairs but Marie grabbed her by the shoulder stopping her.
¨What did you do?¨ Claire looked at the blonde girl dumbfounded ¨That fall could've killed us but instead we are unharmed and we landed far from where we were supposed to end¨
¨I told you, we are Summoners, and you are one as well. I just flashed so the fall couldn't kill us¨
¨That was no Flash, we would've noticed it¨ Vi muttered as she was looking at the rest of people who were running away.
¨You did it the same way as Katarina¨ Cait added freezing Claire in place.
¨I used Shunpo? But Kat didn't-¨ The brown haired Summoner whispered but got cut as someone was shouting from the upper floors.
¨Well look what we have here! If it isn't Piltover's lamest¨ The group looked up and saw Jinx's grin from down there.
¨You're dead meat! You hear me?!¨ Vi pointed towards the Loose Cannon and ran upstairs in an effort to catch her.
¨Vi, wait!¨ Caitlyn shouted at her partner but she was focused on capturing the criminal.
Both the Piltover officers already were climbing up, before the Summoners could join them a lantern dropped to the ground, a spectral chain connected it to Thresh's hand who was waiting for them to touch it. They were scared of what would happen since in the game it would take the player at the side of the Chain Warden but this was the real world, nevertheless all of them touched the lantern at the same time and felt like something grabbed their hands so they didn't fall.
During their ascent the sounds of fighting were getting louder, once their reached their destination the supports helped them climb, Nick and Matt gave the Leona her equipment. By the other bridge Katarina was trying to hold Kha'Zix until he noticed the four Summoners, he slammed the redhead to the wall and deployed his wings, flying towards them.
On the floor below the Loose Cannon was running away from the cops moving every bench and trash can to block their path however Vi just crushed everything like paper, behind her Caitlyn was shooting at the criminal but she moved very fast and none of the bullets managed to hit her.
¨Seems that your hands are not the only ones that are fat!¨ Jinx laughed as she dropped some flame chompers that blocked the enforcer's path and vision in front of her. Even though the fire and smoke screen affected Vi's line of sight the sheriff was able to see the maniac's movements, she was preparing her rocket launcher.
¨Vi, get away!¨ Caitlyn shouted at her partner who got distracted by her voice and when she looked back at Jinx a smile was projecting on her face while having Fishbones, her rocket launcher, aimed at the enforcer.
¨Catch this!¨ Jinx laughed as a rocket was flying towards the enforcer however she jumped backwards avoiding getting hit but the rocket flew up destroying the ceiling that served as floor upstairs leaving a lot of debris between Vi and the criminal ¨Hope you enjoyed Jinx's rocket festival, first time it's on the house!¨ Her maniacal laugh could be heard again as she started to walk towards an emergency exit.
The sheriff ran towards her partner and helped her get back up, they both had an annoyed face since Piltover's most wanted criminal escaped again, this time in a different world ¨We'll get her, everyone is going to be on the lookout so it's going to be easier¨ Caitlyn hugged Vi but the latter pushed her, still angry.
¨As long as her head is under my boot, I don't give a shit about anything else¨
Back on the upper floor Kha'Zix was flying towards the Summoners and shoot his spikes at them, however Leona blocked the projectiles ¨Go, we'll handle the monster¨ Leona shouted at them and started to wave her sword trying to leave the Voidborn away. At the side of the supports Kog'Maw spat at them but the Radiant Dawn managed to block the attack with her shield, however the outer layer of it started to melt due to the corrosive effects of Kog's spits. Kha'Zix landed at the side of the Void creature sharpening his claws to fight the supports.
The group of Summoners were running away from the fight but there was only one left. In front of them Ralzith stood with a smug on his face ¨So in the end it's just a duel between Summoners, what a cruel finale¨ He crackled his knuckles again.
¨We don't fear you, we can use Summoner spells as well as our champion's abilities¨ Claire challenged the Void Summoner, Nick and Matt stood in front while Marie stayed behind, still scared of the situation.
¨Champion's abilities you say? Well I guess it would be fair to step up my game¨ Ralzith muttered, he kneeled and a purple aura started to engulf him, once it disappeared the Summoner was still there however he changed, his arms were replaced by claws, insect wings were growing from his back, spikes appeared over his shoulders and his eyes were now completely green and emitting an intense glow ¨Now it's time to hunt my prey¨ Ralzith's voice changed as well, this time imitating the echoing from Kha's.
The group of Summoners were stepping back but the transformed Ralzith was standing still for a few seconds before he launched his spikes at them. The most trained ones managed to block it with the Barrier spell protecting Marie in the process, once the bubble shield disappeared so did the Void Summoner but he appeared in front of their faces shoving them away except for Marie, Ralzith grabbed her by the coat and started to fly until there was enough altitude.
¨What do you want from me?¨ Marie asked with a scared tone, tears were forming on her eyes anticipating what could be her finale.
¨I'm just a mere pawn, completing a task for the Overlord¨ Ralzith smiled but felt even more heavier, turning his head he saw Katarina wielding her weapons and grabbing by his neck ¨What are you doing?!¨
¨Just being your flyswatter¨ The assassin slashed through one of Ralzith's wings and removed it from his back making him fall back to the fourth floor.
Even though the redhead managed to jump off his back; Ralzith didn't release Marie from his grasp and landed with her away from the group, Leona and Thresh were still fighting the Void duo on the other side. The mutant Summoner stood up injured, his wings and spikes disappeared and one of his claws transformed back to his human arm, Kat tried to run at him but an orange aura, similar to a prison surrounded her, it was the Exhaust spell that made her go slower and feel tired.
Nick stood up grabbing one of Kat's daggers and took a fighting stance in front of the Void Summoner ¨Let her go, fight against someone who can defend itself!¨
Ralzith chuckled, his voice went back to normal, the only unnatural feature was one of the claws that replaced his arm ¨If that is you deathwish, then it shall be granted since you will be the first Summoner I kill¨ He slowly approached to Nick and turned invisible just to reappear in front of him slashing the hand that was holding the dagger opening a small wound and making the dagger fall as well.
He then pushed the unarmed Summoner who was crawling back to his friends but they were all trying to stand up slowly ¨Stop¨ Nick raised his hand as if he could block his advance but something strange occurred, his body started to glow.
Ralzith stopped looking surprised at the glowing Summoner ¨An interesting magic trick, for someone who is about to face it's demise!¨ He leaped at him ready to strike the final blow…
… but then a pillar of light struck the Void one with such strength that pinned him to the ground. Everyone turned surprised at the column of energy that came from the skylight, Leona's eyes widened ¨The Sun chose Nick…¨ she whispered, it was indeed the power of the Sun that was burning Ralzith, but that power only lasted for a few seconds, the enough to weaken him, as the glow that was coming from Nick's body, both Kog'Maw and Kha'Zix headed towards the almost dead Summoner and created a portal to their realm.
¨The… Overlord… will kill you… all¨ Those were the last words heard from Ralzith as he was being carried through the portal that closed after all of them crossed.
Matt walked by his friend and helped him get back up while Claire ran towards the injured blonde, she tried to sit but her ankle hurt thus the brown haired casted a Heal spell that was slowly fixing her sprain. Thresh, Leona and Kat helped the Summoners get on their feet while the first had to carry the blonde whose ankle was still injured, even after the spell. When the group arrived at the parking lot the Piltover officers were waiting by the car, the doors to the outside were still closed.
¨What happened to you?¨ Caitlyn asked worried helping Thresh carry the blonde.
¨They retreated, but I'm sure it's not going to be the last of 'em¨ Nick panted, he was still confused to what happened on the upper floors ¨How are we going to get out of here? Cops will be arriving soon, all of the gates are closed and we not all of us can fit in the car!¨
Vi walked to one of the entrances and used her gauntlets to bend the gate to allowing the car to go through. Outside of the mall no one was inspecting the parking lot, instead most of the people were by the front door waiting for the police to go in.
¨Cupcake and I will be heading to our home. Stay away from the streets and you'll be fine¨ The enforcer ordered the group as she was running through the alleyways, Caitlyn following her from behind.
¨We still have a problem, we are a lot of people for the car¨ Matt complained but Thresh pulled out his lantern, a green aura was coming from it and pulled the Chain Warden transforming him into a soul that was dragged into the lantern.
¨I guess we can carry him now…¨ Matt added while Marie grabbed the lantern with her transformed hand, a spectral chain surrounded her arm and lantern creating a bond.
On their way back to their homes the driver stopped by a coffee shop, everyone followed him inside and sat on of the big tables made for groups, the Summoners brought many cups of the black beverage to the table, one for each one. The only sounds came from their drinking and their surroundings, Marie was looking at Claire with a worried face which made the latter uncomfortable.
¨What?¨
¨Are you feeling okay?¨
¨Why? You should be worrying more about yourself with that hurt ankle¨ Claire was just drinking her coffee as Nick took a photo of her face ¨Can't you let me rest for a minute? We all had a rough day¨
The black haired Summoner showed the screen of his phone to Claire who placed the cup back on the table, her eyes widened and a scared look was on her face. The pictured showed her as a normal person, however the only thing that changed were her eyes, instead of showing her blue crystal eyes, they were replaced by green emerald ones, similar to Katarina's.
¨Your eyes are different. Last time I saw them they were blue…¨ Marie asked with a worried tone but the redhead coughed attracting the attention of the group.
¨There's an explanation behind it: I already told you that Summoners with personal champions get to use their companion's abilities…¨
¨That explains why they told me I used Shunpo¨ Claire whispered to herself
¨… exactly. The magical bond between them may change the Summoner physical and sometimes mentally, but this change is not always temporary; depending on how strong the bond is the Summoner may suffer from heavy changes like Marie's hand, or some less noticeable ones like your eyes¨
Claire nodded, still with a worried look on her face ¨But Ralzith managed to transform and then turn back to his human form¨ Matt asked while finishing his drink.
¨It is unknown for how much time he was training so there is no other explanation about it¨ Leona added. ¨You defeated a powerful Summoner once again, you four can make a lot of things together. But taking down Malzahar will be an even greater challenge¨
¨But I don't even know how to cast a spell. How am I going to defeat something if I don't know how to fight?¨ The lantern emitted a dim green glow as if it was trying to communicate with the blonde ¨Will you do it? I mean, you are a support after all, you don't get to use all of the spells¨ Marie was speaking to the lantern but no one else could hear what Thresh was telling her ¨Alright, I'll do it¨ A smile could be seen on the blonde's face, apparently the Chain Warden and her made a pact.
The group left the coffee shop and Nick stopped in front of the car ¨We all know what it's going to happen from now on, right?¨ The rest nodded ¨There is no turning back. Malzahar declared war against us and the only way to save this world and everyone in it is by defeating him¨
¨A few weeks ago we were just simple humans who were playing their favorite game, now the destiny of our world depends on us. It's quite…¨ Claire's voice trailed off, she couldn't find the proper words to continue.
¨Overwhelming?¨ Kat patted her shoulder with a smile on her face.
¨… yeah…¨ Claire looked at her champion and returned the smile.
¨Whatever happens, we must stay focused on our objective… together¨ Matt muttered entering into the car as the rest joined him.
Longest chapter by far and the one I enjoyed most writing. Even though I loved writing it, it was the hardest one because I was running out of ideas before starting.
Good news is Fnatic is on the playoffs and is playing tomorrow. Another good news is that the story now has 3.6k views :D
I don't know how long the Fanfic will last but I'm sure there are still a few chapters to go. While I'm at it, I'll try to see if the story will continue after Summoning Magic is done.
So far, so good. New chapter up but I will not leave until I say this to you:
See you next chapter ;)
