You all knew this was coming...
Chapter 27 - Obligatory Human Arc.
-How can this be even possible?
-I…I seriously don't know, professor.
-Then, Who knows? It is your machine, both of you worked on this piece of trash, give some ideas, at least.
-Well…Maybe it had something to do with the shaping process, everything inside the radius of the machine should be immediately shaped like a human, since the machine exploded I believe the radius widened…and everything changed…
-I still look like a yordle…
-Well…Maybe it had something to do with the attuning process…
-What do you mean?
-The machine was attuned with void energy…so I guess it only affected those who had an immense amount of void energy…
-That is bullshit, nothing explains why, after an explosión, every voidling turned into a human.
-Well, professor, I have nothing else…maybe it was magic…?
-Of course, some way or another, God wanted the voidlings to become humans for no good reason…
-That sounds like a good explanation.
-I WAS BEING SARCASTIC, YOU FOOL!
-HEY! OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR! I HEARD A FUCKING EXPLOSION INSIDE! OPEN OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL FUCKING DEMOLISH THIS PLACE FOR GOOD!
-SHUT UP, VI! WE ARE DOING SCIENCE HERE!
Confusing and dark shadows moved around me, I could hear the professor argue with Rumble and Ziggs about possible theories and methods to solve this problem, I wasn't paying attention to them, I was more interested in my new anatomy.
For starters I didn't know why, but my visión was completely blurred, no matter how hard I tried to focus my eyes I couldn't make any sense in the shapes in front of me, all I could see were deformed shadows of colors move around, also, my vision had been severely damaged, before, I could see in four directions and witness several planes of reality…now I could only watch what lied ahead of me…it was horrible.
My body was no different…it felt…stiff, restricted and vulnerable, I couldn't muster any sort of my old moves without feeling pain, also, this new body was quite sensitive to the elements of the environment, even though it was quite hot inside of the workshop my feet felt cold…my feet felt cold…my feet…my hands, my arms, my fingers, my torso, my legs, my face, my ears my mouth…I have a mouth! Everything feels new and scary for me…and annoying in some way, I feel a bunch of strands glued to my head falling all the way to my shoulders…I suppose it's my hair…I have shoulders! I have hair! I haven't tried speaking but I can feel this wet and slimy thing inside of my mouth…I believe it's called a tongue…it feels gross…whatever happened to us…I hope the professor can fix it soon…I don't like being a human…
-I LIKE BEING A HUMAN! – A feminine voice said nearby – I CAN FINALLY SPEAK! I CAN FINALLY SEE! LOOK AT THIS COLORS! IT'S WONDERFUL! I WAS SO JEALOUS OF YOU GUYS!
-Rek'Sai, my dear, please settle down! – The voice of Cho'Gath scolded – Don't just go around hopping like that, can't you see they are bouncing?
-Bouncing, what is?...oh! you are talking about these things in my torax…they are pretty soft and big…what are they?
-I believe those are your breast, they are the proof that you are a woman.
-Really?!...but…are they supposed to be this big? It feels rather tiresome…my back is starting to hurt a Little…
-But of course, you sexy thang – I Heard the professor say – the bigger they are the better because they showcase your…eh…womanly power!
-Womanly…power?
-Yeah, the more you have the more respect you will have in society.
-Really!? Then I want to have more! How can I have more?
-Well, I could always "help" you a Little…just let me motorboat your ti…
-PROFESSOR! STOP BEING A CREEP AND HELP ME!
-Come one, Ziggs! He is just a child!
-YEAH?! BUT HE IS DAMN STRONG!
-Don't wanna! – It sounded like Kog'Maw – No clothes! Ugly rodent! Will eat you!
-Kog'Maw! – The feminine voice scolded – Bad Koggie, let mommy dress you.
-NO! Be good! So no clothes! Please!
-I'm sorry, Koggie, but you have to wear your clothes, you are a human now!
-Resai meanie! Shitty humans! Clothes boring!
-I can't deny that…
-Come on, Kha'Zix, stop feeling bad for your scythes, you always complain about how useless they were.
-Yeah, man, but they were my scythes! They were part of my body! Without them, I feel…weak, vulnerable…I want them back.
-Well, I'm sorry, pal, but you are a human now, there is not a single part of you that says voidling.- I Heard Rumble mock.
-Then, what about Vel'Koz? – Me? What happened to me?
-What about him?
-Come one, don't tell me you can't see it.
-See what?
-He still has one of his Voidling traits.
-I don't know what are you talking about.
-I'm talking about the tentacle he has between his legs – What?
-That's…not a tentacle…see…you…you have one…between your legs too…
-I don't have one!
-Well, Rek'Sai, you are a girl, you are not supposed to have one…
-I don't care if I have the same thing! Have you seen the size of his thing? That thing is practically a tentacle! He still has his voidling traits!
-No…That thing is…It's a…You see…It's about bees and flowers…It's a…Let's just say all male humans have the same thing between their legs, okay?
-With the same size?
-Well…probably not…but…HEY! VEL'KOZ! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!
-Ah! I was just…you know, trying to trace my tentacle and see if Kha'Zix is saying the truth – I answered surprised.
-YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TOUCH THAT…Well…Maybe you can…BUT NOT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! Besides…Why would you want to touch it? Can't you see it in front of you?
-No…I actually can't see anything…
-What do you mean you can't see? Let me have a look – My visión was filled with the yellow color, I supposed the professor was in front of me – Curious? There seems to be a problem with your eyes…
-A problem with my eyes? – I asked panicked.
-Yes…Don't worry though…I can solve this problem – I heard the professor work in something besides me – You see…I believe the sudden change from your panoramic vision to the binocular vision we, the denizens of this world have, might have been too much for you, I suppose adding some sort of helping device is necessary in order to compensate the lack of vision you need now.
-What? – Everyone but me asked.
-So to speak – Heimerdinger sighed – He had four eyes before, now he has two, so he needs glasses.
-Ah…I still don't get it.
-That's because you are stupid, Rumble.
While Rumble began to cry I felt something fall on my ears and my nose, it was thin and cold to the touch, I expected some change but my visión remained the same.
-It's still the same – I said disappointedly.
-Just wait a minute, I haven't activated this thing…you see, I did a prototype of this baby a long time ago…it was an Ionian warrior…this device it's smaller than the original and can be used by almost everyone in the world, it's an auto adjustable pair of glasses, I told the warrior this versión was ready but he rejected it saying it wasn't cool enough for him, what an idiot! Okay, you will see and hear some weird things, but don't worry, it's just an analysis of your retina.
I saw a dim blue light cover my vision, suddenly the world started to change, it got at first but after a few moments the world started to become more defined, after a minute I had recovered completely my vision, the first thing I saw was Heimerdinger's furry face.
-How is it? – He asked.
-I can see again.
-That's good! I'm sorry to say this…but you will have to wear those glasses for a while…I'm afraid I haven't developed the smallest version, so this will have to do.
-Thank you, Professor.
-So, Vel'Koz, How do I look? – Cho'Gath asked stepping in front of me.
He was a tall Young man, with curly dark red hair and freckles on his face, his eyes were green and had a peculiar glint on them, he was wearing some sort of Brown one piece.
-You look like a human.
-That's…not helpful at all! I was asking if I looked like a gentleman.
-I'm sorry, I can't tell.
-Well, that's alright, what do you think about Kha'Zix?
-Don't look at me, please, It's awful – The man I supposed was Kha'Zix answered.
He was also a Young man with raven short hair and emerald eyes, his skin was sort of tanned and looked almost like bronze, he was wearing the same clothes as Cho'Gath, he seemed quite displeased with his new appearance.
-It's as bad as it looks like… - He commented with a bitter laugh.
-I think you look quite handsome…you know…like a hobo or something…
-Thank you, Cho'Gath, your comment brings happiness into my sad life.
-Really?
-No.
-MOMMY! MOMMY! – A young child said leaping towards me.
The youth had wavy blonde hair, ruby eyes, and pale skin, he had a wide smile on his face and I could see some green goo falling from his mouth, he was wearing the same set of clothes as everyone else, this must be Kog'Maw.
-Kog'Maw? – I asked carefully.
-MOMMY! – He answered smiling.
-Even looking like that he still loves you more than me…man, I'm jealous – The unknown feminine voice said.
The woman if front of me had pale milky skin, her hair was shoulder length black but she somehow managed to cover her eyes with her long bangs, she was wearing the same clothes as everyone else but her zipper was down displaying an unholy amount of her cleavage.
-Rek'Sai? – I asked confused – Is that you?
-Yep, It's me! What? Am I so beautiful you can't even talk? – She teased.
-No…It's just that you look incredibly different.
-Is that really all you have to say?
-You look gorgeous.
-Aw…you are such a womanizer! – She answered with a blush.
-Rek'Sai, please, Zip your jacket properly – Cho'Gath scolded her.
-I can't! These things in my chest are too damn big – She said trying to zip the jacket with no result – See, it just won't budge!
-If you like – Heimerdinger began with a smug grin – I can't try to squeeze them and see if they shrink!
-Professor, Please! Behave yourself! – Rumble complained.
-Anyways, Vel'koz, would you like to see how you look like?
-Uh…How?
-Professor, do you have a mirror or something?
-Oh! Yes…give me a second…I'm not sure if it survived the blast – He said looking through the rubble -…I think this might work… - He said handing me a piece of a shattered mirror.
For some reason I started feeling nervous, I didn't know why and I couldn't explain it…I just felt it in my core…heart I suppose…How would I look like? So far…all the voidlings looked pretty normal to me, yes there were small things like Kha'Zix emerald eyes, Kog'Maw's pale skin but they could be easily ignored, they said I have a tentacle between my legs…what if I inherited more than that? I was scared…
I sighed and decided to just get over with it and looked into the piece of mirror, I saw a Young man with chocolate like skin, soft features and Golden straight hair falling to my shoulders but the most remarkable thing were my eyes, pupils were of a bright purple that seemed to shine with energy of the void surrounded by a Deep dark sclera.
-Well - I heard Cho'Gath comment - Aside from your eyes...you look like a normal human so you shouldn't worry too much about it.
-CECIL B. HEIMERDINGER! - I heard Vi yell - OPEN THIS GODDAMN DOOR!
-FOR THE LAST TIME, MONKEY, SHUT UP!
-OH YEAH! TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR CAMERAS, I'M SURE YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR STUPID MIND AFTER THAT!
-Change my mind?! What did she do this time? - Heimerdinger said checking his computer - The power is back, I'm just going to reconnect with the server and... - In the monitor appeared the three girls, Vi was holding some sort of hammer with her gauntlets on - Is that...no...it can't be..how did she...? VI, WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT? WHAT DID YOU DO?
-I BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF JAYCE AND STO...BORROWED IT, SO YOU EITHER OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR OR I'LL FUCKING REDUCE YOUR STUPID LAB TO DUST!
-ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! JUST WAIT A MINUTE! - Heimerdinger sighed - Okay, get dressed and please, get ready, I'm not sure how they will react.
-I don't know how to wear this.
-Are you kidding me? Someone just help him! I have to open the door or that troglodyte will kill us all - Heimerdinger said walking towards the door - Stupid Jayce and his stupid hammer, that thing is even more dangerous than Ziggs in a room filled with gunpowder,
I looked at the cloth with no idea of how to wear it, I looked at Cho'Gath and tried to copy him, I managed to slip my legs in the cloth...but, by some strange reason, the zipper was on my back, I tried to wear it properly, but the cloth was choking me, so I took it off and settle with just covering my legs and hips...I mean, how bad can it be?
-ALRIGHT, FURBALL! - I heard Vi growl - WHERE ARE THE TENTACLES?
-Sweetheart! Where are you? - Soraka came running looking everywhere - Oh! Hello there! - she greeted us - Have you seen a cute purple cephalopod flying around?
-I'm so sorry professor - Sarah apologized - I tried to stop her...Soraka didn't do anything...I'm really sorry.
-It's fine...just another day of Vi...RUMBLE! ZIGGS! GO AND BRING THE CLEANING CREW!
-Are they going to clean this mess?
-No, they will bring the tools...AND THEN YOU IDIOTS WILL CLEAN MY LAB! -Both Ziggs and Rumble tried to complain - AH! DO IT OR I SWEAR TO GOD YOU WILL WORK IN THE SEWERS FOR THE NEXT SEMESTER! - Ziggs and Rumble disappeared after that.
-HEY, HEIMY! - Vi said picking the professor up - WHERE IS HE?
-Vi...I will need you to open your GODDAMN eyes...and please...don't overreact...he is... - He pointed at me.
-What? - Vi said dropping the professor and examining my face - This can't be Vel'Koz...I mean, you are handsome and all...but he is a flying thing...you can't be...
-It's me, Vi - I said quietly.
-That's...that's his voice but...you can't be...
-Honey! - Soraka said clinging to me - Are you really my honey? You are not lying, aren't you?
-Yes...I am Vel'Koz, Soraka.
-Okay, Can somebody explain what happened here? - Vi asked exasperated.
-It's hard to tell...I don't have an answer...and as you can see every voidling changed - Heimerdinger said motioning at us.
-Oh! That doesn't matter - Soraka said merrily - before we enter in details I want to confirm something.
-What is it?
-It's simple! Vel'Koz, please, stand up.
I stood up, confused as to what Soraka wanted, she stood there looking at me for a few seconds and then she knelt...and pulled down my pants.
-WHA...WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? - Vi said turning around.
-Oh...My! - Soraka said looking at my remaining tentacle - That...is big! I mean, you were big before...it's kind of small in comparison...but it's still big!
-Soraka, please - Sarah begged, covering her eyes with her hands - stop doing that.
-Shut up, Fortune, you are not fooling anyone, I can see you sneaking peeks through your hands.
-I wasn't...doing such thing...
-YOU FUCKING GOAT - Vi said looking at the wall - STOP THAT!
-Uh? But Vi, don't you want to see it? It's amazing! It's the first one I've seen in my life...I'm sure is tasty too.
-I DON'T WANT TO SEE VEL'KOZ'S JUNK!
-You...bitches... - Heimerdinger said slowly.
Suddenly a bunch of turrets appeared behind him, all of them targeting us, Heimerdinger had a dangerous aura around him, it made me shiver in fear.
-How...dare you...soil my precious lab...you all...WILL BURN IN HELL! - and his machines fired away.
I guess I won't be studying Techmaturgy anytime soon.
-You know...the professor didn't need to be so rough on us - Cho'Gath commented behind the curtain.
-Yeah, I was seriously scared...Although I have to say, I'm surprised we survived that, Vel'Koz even covered the goat and the pirate - Kha'Zix said sitting next to me.
-I suppose we still have some of our powers with us - I answered looking at my hand, for a few moments, I saw a dim lit on it - We may have changed our appearance...but we are creatures of the Void.
-I suppose you are right - Cho'Gath said drawing the curtain and stepping out of the closet - So, how do I look like?
He was now wearing one of his usual tuxedos.
-I'm surprised you have that - Kha'Zix commented - It's not even your size...well, wasn't your size.
-It's just one of the many gifts I've gotten as an important figure in Piltover...and what the shit are you supposed to be wearing?
Kha'Zix was wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans, a pair of simple shoes, a raincoat and a hat.
-Hey...I don't judge you...so don't judge me.
-You look like a hobo.
-I don't really give a damn about how I look, and you shouldn't do it...this won't last, we are powerful entities of the void...a simple machine created in this world can't change our nature forever.
-You don't have to be such a kill-joy...
-I'm telling you the truth and you know it, even Vel'Koz knows it, right? - Kha'Zix asked me.
-I think we sho...
-HEY, GUYS! - Rek'Sai said entering the room - What do you think about my outfit?
She was wearing a black Babydoll dress and a pair of high heels of the same color and a necklace made of diamonds.
-Oh! Rek'Sai! You look gorgeous! But that is reserved for a party! you should wear something more comfortable - Cho'Gath said patting her head.
-But I like this! besides, I'm fine! It doesn't hurt at all!
-Hey...your feet are bleeding... - Kha'Zix said pointing at her feet...she was really bleeding!
-Rek'Sai! did you come running?
-Yeah...Why?
-Girl! You can't run with high heels, you hurt your feet!
-I don't feel a thing.
-But you are bleeding! Take them off and I'll have Malzahar heal them in a bit...now that I think about it...where's Kog'Maw?
-That's right! - Rek'Sai smiled - KOGGIE! COME HERE!
The door of the room opened and...
...
...
...
Kog'Maw came in...
He was wearing a...white frilly dress and a ribbon in his hair.
-Isn't he such a cutie? - Rek'Sai said hugging him.
-Rek...Kog'Maw is a boy...You know that, don't you?
-Yeah?
-That...is a dress...for girls.
-Are you sure? He looks lovely with it!
-Kog'Maw...what do you think?
Kog'Maw looked around for a while and the at the dress, he shrugged and simply smiled.
-Resai said cute! Koggi likes cute!
-Alright...I think we have to talk...Kha, please, help me with this.
-Yeah...even I find this disturbing...
-What about me? - I asked standing up.
-You choose your clothes, Vel'Koz, let us handle this - Cho'Gath said picking up Kog'Maw - Now, Rek'Sai...we have to talk about...this.
-but...it looks cute...what's the problem?
-yeah, yeah - Kha'Zix said pushing Rek'Sai out of the room - Just come with us.
-I don't understand...IT'S CUTE! - That's the last I heard from Rek'Sai before Cho'Gath closed the door behind him.
I stood there for a few minutes without doing anything...not like I had something in mind...What the shit am I supposed to wear? Clothes are just a bunch of covers used to protect humans from the elements...even this work cloth Heimerdinger gave me would suffice...but I feel if I went out wearing this...Cho'Gath would, literally, kick my ass...I looked into the closet, trying to find something..."fashionable"...but everything looks the same for me...the same clothes with different colors, some have pictures printed on them and some others don't...and I still don't get this..."Underwear" thing, What's the point in using it if I am already wearing pants? It's illogical...I sighed in frustration...this is useless...I don't want to be human...it feels...different...mortifying...I feel weak and exposed...my powers haven't disappeared but I can't use them to their full extent...Why did this happen?
I sighed once again and decided to wear the first thing I picked from the closet...after a few minutes, I was watching my work on the mirror...I ended up wearing a plain white T-shirt, a blue hoodie, black jeans and a pair of light blue sneakers...I looked into the mirror trying to figure whether my outfit was good or not...I sighed again...it's useless...besides, Kha'Zix is right...this won't last for too long...eventually, our powers will break through whatever turned us into this...I hope he is right...and besides...it's not like I want to go outside looking like this...I rather stay home and wait...
Suddenly I heard something hit the window, I looked at it curiously...there it is again...what is that? I got closer to the window and see a small object hitting it...hooligans? Cho'Gath said this part of the neighborhood was the most civilised...so I can't possibly believe...I look through the window and see a person standing next to a two-wheeled vehicle I haven't seen before...this person has pink hair...
-Vi! - I said opening the window - What are you doing here?
-I was just checking on you, babe! - She says with a cheeky smile - Are okay?
-Yes, I'm fine! What about you?
-Oh! Don't worry about me! I had my babies with me.
-I see, I'm glad you are okay.
-Thank you, babe! - She says smiling again - but I came here for other reason!
-What is it?
-I wanted to ask you...if...you...had anything to do tomorrow.
-No, I don't have anything to do tomorrow.
-Cool! I was wondering if you...would like to...you know...go out with me?
-Uh...like going out of the house or...like a date?
-Wait...do you even know what a date is?
-Yeah, I had one with Soraka when I was in Ionia.
-I see - Vi said, gritting her teeth - That goat...but anyways...I want you to have a date with me.
-Well I...I'm not sure if I... - Vi looked at me, her eyes filled with expectation - I think I... - I sighed in defeat - I would love to go on a date with you, Vi.
-Really! Awesome, babe! I'll pick you up tomorrow in the morning! Don't tell anyone about our date! Especially to that slutty goat - She said mounting her vehicle, the thing made a loud sound and before I knew it, Vi was already gone.
I sighed once again...
Tomorrow is going to be such an interesting day.
Thank you very much for your reviews and your support...
I there's something you don't like just let me know and I will try to fix it...
DD soul: a showdown between Vi and Darius...I'm pretty sure the earth would split in half before we could see a winner...
Big thanks to Anthropomancy and France shellby
