(February 21st 2015 – 4:50 PM Earth time – Prison, The Void)

The two prisoners stood up before their savior, unlike any of the Voidborns he was different, the human known as Kassadin has been through a lot in an attempt to stop the Overlord, not only his physical form changed but his mental state as well making him become obsessed about the balance and preservation of all living things.

¨I am… surprised that you came all the way here to save us¨ Ralzith said with a dumbfounded look on his face, since the Summoner became Malzahar's ally the Void Walker considered him as an enemy.

¨The balance of this child's world depends on both of you to leave this place¨ Even though a mask covered his face, the words could easily be heard, the black haired nodded and helped Liz get out of the cell but the champion stopped him before going out. ¨Know this, I do this because the balance of our worlds are at stake. But your punishment shall come eventually¨ Ralzith nodded again, this time slowly.

The trio walked through the hallways, they were empty and dark, the only source of light came from Kassadin's void blade but it was not that strong.

¨How are we planning to escape? The only place where we can cast portals is the throne room¨ Ralzith asked skeptically, even though he spends most of the time outside of the Void, he knows how it works, especially around Malzahar's domains.

¨That is precisely where we are heading¨ The champion said with complete confidence.

¨Mister Ralzith, why is this throne room so important?¨ The young girl was scared because of the darkness and hugged the Summoner.

¨Because that's the main room In this place and also our way out¨ He smiled at Liz and then turned back to Kassadin ¨What if he is in his throne?¨ he whispered at the masked person.

¨Then we'll have to proceed quickly. The fact that we have been walking without anyone showing up is quite intriguing¨ Ralzith nodded at Kassadin's suspicions.

When they arrived at the throne room, they saw a big sphere in the middle of it showing an image of the Earth Summoners fighting at the shopping mall when they defeated the Voidborns, at the bottom of the room, the throne was empty and there was no one apart from them. The trio kept walking until they stopped at a specific place.

¨I can open up a portal here, let me channel it first¨ Kassadin muttered as he turned to the empty space, channeling his energy into a portal ¨I don't understand, Malzahar must've noticed our escape¨

¨And you are certain my fellow enemy¨ Liz and Ralzith turned and saw Malzahar floating on the other end of the room with Kha'Zix and Kog'Maw at his side ¨I knew you would come Kassadin, help my prisoners escape and use my throne room. Having all my priority targets here, I can destroy you without having to look for you¨ The Overlord laughed maliciously ¨Now my pets, go and feast on their bodies!¨ he pointed at the trio as the two Voidborns rushed towards them.

Kha'Zix jumped at the trio but he got pushed away due to a barrier the Summoner casted to protect them ¨You better hurry up!¨ Ralzith yelled as he tried to maintain the bubble which was now being attacked by the claws and acid spits from the Void creatures.

The bubble got destroyed after the constant attacks from the monsters leaving the trio open for any new attacks. The Voidborns rushed at them again but got pushed away by Kassadin who used his Force Pulse ¨It is time for you to go. NOW!¨ The Void Walker shouted at them as he tried to keep the creatures away.

Ralzith ran towards the portal but he heard someone screaming from behind him, he turned and saw that Liz was caught by Malzahar who was holding his knife by her throat, the Summoner tried to help her but Kassadin stood in his way.

¨What are you doing?! We must save her!¨ The black haired tried to go through the Void Walker but he was pushing him away towards the portal.

¨If you stay here, both worlds will be doomed¨ Kassadin kept pushing the Summoner until he was in front of the portal ¨Remember the Summoner's Rift. That's the only way!¨

¨Summoner's Rift? What do you-¨ Ralzith couldn't finish his words as he was pushed away into a cold street. Even though it was almost 5 PM by the time he was at the Void, it was dark now, as if it was already midnight. But it was true, not only the portal managed to help him cross back to the Earth, he also travelled some hours into the future, the magic from Kassadin is not stable enough to create a perfect portal.

When the Summoner looked up the portal was already closed, the nexus between both worlds was now closed leaving Ralzith and Liz separated from each other. He stood up looking everywhere but there was no one around him, only some parked cars, but there was something he noticed, it was a house he saw weeks ago, it was the same house he and Kha'Zix attacked but they failed, the lights on the inside were lit on and from the outside he saw the lone Summoner watching the television.

Ralzith walked at the door and raised his hand trying to knock but he heard noises coming from the inside, he got his ear closer to the door trying to listen.

¨Do you think all of us will be ready to attack that building? Besides, we don't have a plan¨ The voice from Leona was easily distinguishable, her tone was a bit worrying.

¨We'll make preparations. We arranged a meeting at Matt's house since he is the one that has a car¨ Nick's voice was getting louder since he was walking closer to the door ¨We will have a strategy by the time we raid the building. Besides I have an idea¨

¨Are you going to cast down the Sun again? I'd like to see that¨ The Radiant Dawn chuckled

¨I barely knew how I did it last time! But trust me, I have something prepared… I hope¨

¨What do you mean by: I hope. It's Liz's life that is in danger!¨ She raised her tone, now a bit infuriating.

¨It's just…¨ Nick sighed ¨… we should get some sleep, we'll have to be at Matt's place early¨ His voice disappeared as they were going upstairs, the lights were now turned off.

Ralzith stepped away from the door and looked at the inside, no movements, they really went to sleep ¨(So they don't know that the little one is in the Void. I have to tell them, but they won't listen)¨ He thought as he walked to the side of the house, the door to the backyard was open, at the bottom there was small shed, on the inside there were many tools, most of them broken or rusty (or even both). The Summoner thought that he could use it as a place to hide during the night before following Nick and Leona.

(February 22nd 2015 – 8:30 AM– Matt's House, New York, Earth)

The black haired and the ginger arrived at their destination, they knocked at the door and were greeted by a very sleepy blonde who was cleaning his eyes.

¨Did you just wake up just now?¨ Nick shook Matt trying to help him stay awake.

¨I did not. Cait woke me up two hours ago asking for some help to set up the board¨ The blonde stretched his arms and then he cracked his knuckles.

¨Board?¨ Leona asked with a curious look.

The house owner nodded and gestured at them to come inside, there were some noises of people talking on the garage. When the trio entered to the room they saw a board with a lot of pictures and maps as well as some highlighted words, the car was parked outside allowing to all of the Summoners to have some space to discuss. By the board Caitlyn, Vi and Claire where discussing, on the left end of the room Marie and Thresh were observing the newcomers, on the right end Katarina was practicing some knife throwing on a target that was hanging on the wall.

The sheriff turned and saw that everyone was already on the room, she tapped on the board attracting everyone's attention ¨Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get to the most important part: the plan¨ She grabbed a stick and used it to guide the group on the board ¨First things first, we know that Liz is located in the building along with who knows how many armed criminals…¨

¨…And Jinx…¨ Vi added

¨…yes, and Jinx. So it is certain that it is not an easy task¨ She pointed with her stick at a map showing the street, many circles around the main building ¨There are cameras here; here and here, so if we want to get close we'll have to avoid those¨ Caitlyn then pointed at the side of the building ¨Vi, Claire and Matt will enter here, where the cameras can't spot us, you'll make a hole and go in without anyone noticing¨ She moved the stick on the other side of the building, opposite to the first entrance point ¨Nick, Katarina and Leona will infiltrate here, there should be a door but I guess you can break the lock easily¨ Caitlyn was now pointing at two circles, one located near the front door and the other one on a building opposite of the target ¨At the front Thresh and Marie will serve as our escape route, both teams will head into the roof and grab the lantern to get out safely. Me? I'll be on the opposite building overlooking the situation with my rifle and giving you advice in case something goes wrong¨ She turned to the group with a smile on her face, they were dumbfounded after all the explanation the sheriff gave to them. ¨Questions? Concerns?¨

¨Yeah, did you made all this by yourself?¨ Katarina asked, still confused.

¨I couldn't sleep properly, she was talking all the night about how to rescue Liz, what would happen if one team fails… I am amazed by the fact that she isn't tired at all!¨ Matt yawned, it was impressive that Caitlyn didn't felt tired after scheming during the night.

¨I have a question: What is that pink arrow by the front door?¨ Marie asked while pointing at it, the sheriff was confused as she didn't draw that.

¨Oh, yeah. That was me¨ Everyone turned to Vi who walked by the map ¨While you were thinkin' all that stuff, I made the best plan in the world¨ She removed the stick from Caitlyn's hands ¨My plan is the following: I rush through the front door, smashing everything and everyone who stands in my way, look for Jinx while the rest of you look for the little sister¨ Vi grinned.

¨That plan seems more profitable for us¨ Thresh spoke from behind, quite excited since that would help him reap the criminal's souls.

¨Wait, you can't go in there just like that! I've spent the whole night planning something that will not wrong, this is a hostage situation!¨ Cait yelled at her partner which created a big fuss between everyone. Nick dragged the house owner out of the garage into the living room where the noises from the discussion wouldn't bother them.

¨Matt, I think I have something that might help us, but I need your car¨ Nick muttered but the blonde got surprised at the request.

¨Wait… what? We are close to strike the building where they got Liz and you are already running away?!¨ Matt shook his head turning back to the garage.

¨Listen to me, we both know that even if we have strong champions, they outnumber us, plus they have Jinx and that weird-ass magic crystal. If we have to fight them, we are going to need more help¨ Nick tried to convince the house owner who was hesitating, thinking on who to follow.

However the dark haired was right and only those words were needed to change the blonde's opinion who nodded making Nick smile ¨Alright, I'm going with you. BUT I won't let you drive¨

The Solari Summoner sighed, he knew that without Matt's car he wasn't going anywhere ¨Fine, then you come with me¨

The duo came back, the situation was more calm now but still some exchange of words however there was something different with the board, a lot of arrows, circles, many of them crossed or just badly poorly erased.

¨So what's the plan then?¨ Nick asked looking at everyone who seemed to be breathless after the discussion from before.

¨Two teams, front and back, we will be discussing who goes on each one once we get there. We'll move in quick and rescue Liz, then get out before more people notice¨ Caitlyn said while going to the bedroom.

¨Even if we get out they will discover my sister is missing. They know where I live so we'll have to do something else¨ Claire said as she looked at the sheriff who brought a bag and dropped into the ground, inside the sound of plastic and metal was heard ¨What's that?¨

¨Vi and I thought that even if you have your Summoner powers, they will not be enough to fight all of them¨ She opened the bag, inside there were some pistols, magazines and bullets ¨We understand you may have never used them… but it is something necessary¨ She looked down, Caitlyn knew what was asking them was not easy.

¨If things do go well then you won't have to use 'em. But consider it as an emergency feature¨ Vi sat on the ground and grabbed some bullets, loading them into the magazines.

¨I don't want to become a murderer!¨ Marie cried out, at her side Thresh was laughing.

¨My dear child, someday you'll have blood in your hands, whether it was from an innocent, or a guilty person. They are all the same in the eyes of a murdered¨ he whispered into her ear frightening her.

¨Ok, stop!¨ Nick shouted getting the attention from everyone in the garage ¨Matt and I have to do something before going… so I was thinking that you could start raiding the building without us¨ He explained slowly.

¨Wait, wait, wait. You are going to do gay stuff with Matt while we do the hard work? Because-¨ Katarina yelled at the black haired but got couldn't finish her sentence.

¨No, for fuck's sakes. I do believe that we can get some help for this… you gotta trust me ok?¨ Nick tried to convince the group but they were already in a tight spot.

¨Go then¨ Caitlyn muttered from behind, everyone were surprised that they were allowed to go (especially since she was the one that spoke up) ¨If you believe that you can get some help, then go ahead¨ Nick nodded and with Matt they turned towards the front door but halted because the sheriff was grabbing their arms ¨Hope you know what you're doing… Liz is counting on you¨ Caitlyn whispered onto their ears as they left the house, the sound of the car getting away.

The group remained silent, their entire plan had to be modified and every second they waited, the more worried Claire became. ¨So without the car we have to use the bus, and I think that a group of weird people carrying guns would be… I don't know… quite suspicious?¨ the brown haired Summoner said as she leaned over the wall, lowering her head.

¨If only you had an easier way to teleport there… I just wish there were Summoners in this world¨ The redhead said sarcastically with a grin on her face.

¨Are you mocking at us?¨ Marie frowned.

¨Maybe, maybe not¨ Katarina chuckled ¨Being a Summoner makes some tasks easier, so you'll know what to do¨

¨But you will stay here. I don't see how this is going to work¨ Claire scratched the back of her head, still confused of the assassin's idea.

¨You are Summoners, right? That means you can summon us onto the battlefield¨ Vi seemed to be bored, she wants action and staying at the garage won't help.

¨But that won't work¨ Everyone turned at Leona who was silent since the boys left ¨Only your Summoner can… well, bring you to his side¨

¨Maybe there is another way…¨ Thresh raised his lantern, it was glowing, waiting for new souls to get in.

(February 22nd 2015 – 9:45AM – Riverside Skate Park, New York, Earth)

The duo were driving for almost an hour, even if it was Sunday there was still some traffic in the streets that delayed their arrival and most importantly no space for the blonde to park the car. After some minutes he managed to find a parking spot, the two left the car and walked to the park, there were almost no people except for a few who were doing their morning walk but other than that, almost no one around.

¨You sure they are here? Seems like a peaceful place to me¨ The blond inquired looking at the trees and any spot where their targets may hide.

¨That's what they said on Reddit! A group of Yordles walking in this park at night¨ Nick stopped and looked at a small rope tied to a branch, a tin can was hanging from it ¨You see that?¨ The black haired pointed at the hanging object.

¨Anyone could've left that¨ The blond pulled from the rope making the can fall, as it touched the ground it made some metallic sounds, when they checked the inside it was full of nuts and bolts ¨Who the fuck would fill a can with this things¨ He looked up and saw another can shining in the distance.

¨Someone who wants to be found…¨ Nick's voice trailed off as he walked towards the can, the blond decided to stay back trying to find any more clues.

Before the black haired could extend his hand trying to take the can he stepped onto something in particular, it wasn't an animal or a plant, it was something coming from another world. When his foot touched it, it exploded making Nick fall onto his back which caused some more objects to explode at his left, he tried to cover but there was dirt flying already to his side. The blond heard those explosions and ran towards the downed Summoner but he tripped onto something, or someone. When Matt turned he noticed a group of small people surrounding them wearing a makeshift armor made of wood and metal parts and carrying guns.

¨Just give us your money and you will be spared¨ The high pitched voice of a girl aiming at them with a cannon was very familiar to the two Summoners. ¨Waaaait, I know you! You are that Summoner in training¨ The rocket girl moved her weapon away from the Summoner's faces.

¨Tristana?!¨ Nick looked at his sides, and saw Teemo and Rumble lowering their weapons ¨What are you guys doing here?¨ The black haired tried to stand up but the small creatures helped him as well as his friend.

¨We couldn't find any place similar to Bandle so we had to find something at least suitable¨ The Yordle gunner tried to lead the Summoners away from the area covered with Teemo's mushrooms ¨So I guess you didn't came here just to see how we were farin'¨

¨You are right, we are here because we need your help¨ The blond sat on the grass so he could be at the same level as them.

¨Well, we asked you to return us to our home world and yet we are here¨ The rough response from Rumble made Nick frown.

¨Listen... ¨ Nick was scratching his forehead trying to think of a better deal ¨We need this little favor and then we'll work on sending you home, if there is a way of course¨

The Yordles made a circle between them as they spoke in their native language, their voices were inaudible whispers to the Summoners who were looking at each other, shrugging since they were out of the discussion. Once the trio finished talking they turned at the boys, Teemo was the one in charge of speaking to them.

¨We will help you but promise us to take us back home¨ Teemo raised his head looking at the Summoners who nodded at his request making him smile but only for a few seconds because he jumped onto the blond's shoulders pulling him by the hair ¨I don't remember you had this the last time we saw you¨ The scout pointed at some strands of hair.

¨Hey leave my head alone!¨ The blond moved his shoulders making Teemo fall but Nick managed to grab him before he touched the ground, the black haired turned at his friend and noticed the same thing Teemo did.

¨Matt… I think he did saw something¨ Nick pulled the same strands and inspected it closely ¨Your hair is…¨

¨What?¨ The blond's angry tone was noticeable, he didn't like that anybody played with his hair.

¨It's becoming… pink¨ Nick was surprised and so was Matt who stood up walking away from the group, he grabbed his phone and used the front camera and confirmed it, some strands on his right side were now pink, his face turned to surprise to panic ¨Relax, you can dye it again, besides that color suits you well¨ He chuckled.

¨Right, because your hair isn't changing, or your eyes, or your hand doesn't transform into a demonic thing!¨ He rested by a tree placing both hands in his face as if he was ashamed.

¨Oh you don't have to feel that bad sweetheart, sometimes when I was summoned I had to wear something different than my regular attire and my hair changed to pink, at first I hated it but as time went on I embraced it and ended up liking it¨ Tristana tried to cheer up the Summoner but the latter looked at her with an angry face.

¨You don't understand, my world is different, and unlike yours, here I would be considered a freak for having pink hair¨ Matt turned away and crossed his arms, frustration was only coming to his mind ¨If it was something like Cait's hair I wouldn't mind but this is… horrible!¨ His tone was rising but Nick tried to calm him.

¨If the problem was about your hair then I guess it's already solved. Can we go home now?¨ Rumble spoke from behind tapping his small foot onto the ground impatiently.

¨We didn't come here for that. The reason is that one of our friends' sister is missing and we believe that the Void has her¨ The black haired explained the Yordles who were quite amused when he said Void.

¨We fought last time against Kha'Zix and we defeated him without any problems so it should be a easy¨ Rumble grabbed a tiny controller from his pockets and pressed a button revealing the invisible machine he pilots ¨You coming or what?¨ The other two Yordles nodded and climbed onto the robot, the Summoners turned back walking to the parking lot but Rumble yelled, when the pink-blond looked back he saw the Yordle threw something at them, he managed to grab it before it hit his face ¨We'll stay invisible, have that thing with you so we can track your location¨ The pilot yelled as he closed the cockpit turning his robot invisible.

When the two Summoners returned to the car the blond started the car and drove out of the parking lot, it took them some time before they could get back on the road towards the meeting point, once they stopped at a red light the driver looked at Nick and then at the rear mirror ¨Is it very noticeable?¨ He had a worried look.

¨Well, it has some contrast, you know… yellow and pink. Use a hat or dye it¨ Nick's advice worried the blond even more ¨Worry more about getting Claire's sister, your hair can wait a bit more¨ Matt shook his head as he turned back to the road.

(February 22nd 2015 – 10:45 AM – Outside of the Safehouse, New York, Earth)

Once the Summoners and the Yordles arrived to the Safehouse they noticed some odd things, first all of the cameras were destroyed, then the front door was completely torn down and the hole made by Jinx explosive was still there. The Summoners parked the car, behind them the robot appeared taking it's invisibility off, both Nick and Matt along with Teemo and Tristana walked to the broken door, Rumble was following them from behind.

¨This is definitely Vi's work¨ Matt said to his partners who entered into the building, however Tristy couldn't enter due to its enormous size so the Mechanized Menace had to wait outside covering the entrance in case someone wanted to get in or out.

¨You sure this place is where your friends' sister is? Looks very empty¨ Tristana said with her high pitched voice echoing in the hallways from the building.

The four of them stopped when they saw a shadow just around the corner, it wasn't moving so it didn't hear them entering. Tristana pulled out her cannon from the back while Teemo was grabbing a few darts for his blowgun, the Summoners tried to grab the guns from the back but noticed something, they didn't picked them up on their way out of Matt's house. Since they had no weapons the only things they could rely on were their Summoner's spells.

¨I'll scout ahead, that human won't see me due to my height¨ The Swift Scout whispered and advanced towards the guard, few seconds passed and no response came from him, instead the Tristana, Matt and Nick decided to go in as well just to see a terrified Teemo looking at something in front of him.

¨What… the…¨ Matt couldn't find any words to describe what he saw in front of him

¨…fuck¨ The black haired finished the other's sentence, shocked.

In front of them there were laying a lot of bodies dismembered, some were hanging from the ceiling dropping blood onto the floor. Their deaths were recent as a few bodies were still moving giving their last breaths, the most peculiar thing was that all of them were wearing animal masks (or at least those who still had their head on)

¨I understand Vi or Kat could get a bit… excited but this is just a monstrosity¨ Matt covered his mouth and looked away trying not to puke.

Nick looked away as well but felt someone tugging on his pants, he looked down and saw a man without legs who crawled from a room behind them, a trail of blood following him ¨My… god, who did this?¨ The Summoner kneeled trying to help the almost deceased criminal who was wearing a horse mask.

¨That… crystal… it poisoned his mind… you must… stop Richard.¨ The dying man gave his last breath before releasing Nick.

¨Crystal? You think it might be the same that Arlor showed us?¨ Matt muttered at his friend who nodded as he stood up, behind them Tristana was trying to comfort Teemo, still shocked after such massacre.

The remaining alive bodies became lifeless after a few seconds, what was worse is that the dead criminals were blocking the only way upstairs since the elevator was broken.

¨Alright so… who goes first?¨ Nick whispered but none of the other tree answered ¨There must be another way up. One that will make us avoid the…¨ The Black haired Summoner couldn't find the exact words for this ¨…scenic route¨

The four of them kept in silence, the only sound was coming from the blood dripping from the bodies, until a female scream was heard coming from the upper floors ¨Was that…¨ Matt's voice trailed off until both Summoners reacted on who that person was.

¨CAITLYN!¨

There's been a lot of trouble writing this chapter but here it is!

As a first thing, yesterday I managed to get to Platinum! So it won't take long until you see me on the Latin American equivalent of LCS.

One thing that's been on my mind lately is that I will make a lemon in the future (I wonder when and on which pairing)

Again I'd like to say thanks to everyone who's been reading and especially those who been following since the beginning and tried to stand my not-so-good writing and english skills.

For those who haven't noticed I updated the prologue changing a few bits.

I guess there's no more to say. Hope you enjoy this new chapter and as always...

...See you next chapter ;)
