#A Corporate Matter Episode: Definitely not a reference to a dark game about collecting souls.

Gnar "Wakes up." "Huh, what happened?"

Gragas "You died, mate."

Gnar "Gragas Caskbreaker? I'm dead? This place is so dark and evil looking, does that mean that I'm in-"

Gragas "Oh no no, you came back as some weird half dead thing. You need to collect some souls. Also, I suggest grabbing that sword and shield. You're gonna need them."

Gnar "Alright, but I don't exactly know how to-"

Gragas "LOOK OUT!"

Thresh "RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Gnar "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" "Gets a hook in the face."

#YOU DIED

Gnar "WHAT THE HECK MAN, WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME."

Gragas "You died again. But seeing as how you only made it five feet from your spawn, you didn't lose much progress. I must say, most actually manage to kill the first enemy."

Gnar "So I just come back after death, weird. And what was it that killed me?"

Gragas "Chain Warden, pretty easy to take care of on their own. Like I said, almost everyone kills that one on their first try. I guess you are just a special kind of stupid."

Gnar "Well then, why don't you kill it?"

Gragas "I can't, I'm just a phantom. I am really just here to guide you. I can also wave, but other than that I'm generally pointless."

Gnar "Well, that explains the translucent look about you. I guess I will go kill it, now that I know what to do. DIE YOU CHAIN WARDEN!"

Thresh "RAHHHHHHH!!"

Gnar "HYA!!!" "Mashes attack button until creature ragdolls."

Gragas "Praise the sun, you have completed the most basic of tasks. Now, what really trips newbies up is-"

Fiddlesticks "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Gnar "NOT AGAIN!"

#YOU DIED

Gragas "The Scarecrow standing right behind the Chain Warden door. Waiting to strike after it smells blood."

Gnar "I HATE THIS!"

Gragas "Just you wait. Today is a good day to die, over and over again. Let's go, to see if we can't find you a way out of here."

A little while later:

Gnar "You know, I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Gragas "Praise the sun, finally. But you should really have your shield up when turning corners, and stop sprinting everywhere."

Gnar "Its fine, the Chain Wardens are slow. And with that armor I found, the Scarecrows don't kill me instantly anym-"

Karthus "Huya!" "Fires arrow."

Gnar "This isn't fun."

#YOU DIED

Gragas "Welp, back to the campfire. This is death number, wow! You are at seventeen already man. That may be a new record."

Gnar "So, what does that emblem on your chest mean?"

Gragas "That is the emblem of the sun. If you don't manage to get back to your home, maybe you can join me in Jolly Cooperation. On my one true quest to have my own sun. PRAISE THE SUN!" "Praising Intensifies."

Gnar "Why do I regret asking. Here, let's go down this ladder. Wow, I really love this vertical design. At least I can climb ladders without getting killed."

Gragas "Praise the sun!"

Gnar "You know, that gets really annoying. Oh look, a fountain with a mysterious statue in the center. Hmmm, there is a sword sticking out of the statue. I guess I will just take that."

Gragas "You can't be serious. There is nothing about this that makes you think. Hmm, maybe if I take the sword the statue will come alive and kill me?"

Gnar "Nope, that's too obvious. Besides, this sword looks pretty sweet."

Nocturne "DIE!"

Gragas "Great, now you have awoken the Cursed Revenant. I really doubt you have the skill to beat it."

Gnar "What are you talking about, this thing is easy. It attacks so slow, I can kill it with no problems. See, it's already at half health and-"

Nocturne "Oozy tentacles begin sprouting from its back. Some turn into an arm and others turn into a monster eel head."

Gnar "WHAT THE-"

#YOU DIED

Gnar "DON'T YOU DARE SAY I TOLD YOU SO!"

Gragas "This time, let's go up. There is a much easier boss on the top of this place."

A few minutes later:

Gnar "Man, that was awfully strong for a normal minion. So, where is this boss you were talking about?"

Gragas "Oh, the Black Scourge? He is right behind you."

Singed "Cough Cough."

Gnar "DIE DIE DIE! NOT FAIR, HE HAS A SHIELD TOO! I CAN'T HURT HIM!"

Gragas "YOU JUST GOT TO KICK IT. THEN HE WILL BE OPEN TO YOUR ATTACKS. AND STOP CHASING HIM WHEN HE RUNS!"

Gnar "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KICK HIM. I AM A YORDLE, MY LEGS A SHORTER THAN MY ARMS! Oh man, my health bar is low, this is it for me. You lied, there are no easy bosses here."

Singed "Starts charging at Corporate Gnar."

Gnar "Dodges out of the way."

Singed "Falls off edge, down hundreds of feet."

Gnar "He fell off the edge, I WIN! I AM THE BEST, I KILLED THE BOSS!"

Gragas "PRAISE THE SUN! Although, I don't think that is supposed to happen."

Gnar "LETS GO, I DESIRE TO KILL MORE THINGS!"

Some time later, after much has been collected:

Gragas "You sure you don't want to rest at a campfire? Just so you have a nearby place to respawn."

Gnar "No, not a fan of fire. You would be surprised how quick fur ignites. Besides, I don't plan on dying."

Gragas "Well, be prepared to. The Iron Inquisitor is up next."

Gnar "I can take her. FOR NARNIA!"

Kayle "INTRUDER!"

Gnar "MY SHIELD, IT DOES NOTHING!"

Gragas "Duck and weave, DUCK AND WEAVE!"

A boss battle begins. It is, however, so graphic that we are unable to show it. And instead, can only provide a, very brief, censored description of it. Corporate Gnar won with very little health left.

Gragas "PRAISE THE SUN! I didn't think it was possible, but you did it."

Gnar "That idea of your was genius, I wish all could have witnessed that fight. I FEEL SO ACCOMPLISHED, I AM UNSTOPPA-"

Thresh "RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Gnar "Well f-"

#YOU DIED

Gragas "Told you to stop at a campfire, but now you get to kill everything again. And if you do it all without dying, you can get your stuff back."

Gnar "I DON'T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE!" "Gets in fetal position and starts sobbing."

Gragas "Come on, don't be such a big baby."

Gnar "Just leave me here! Man, this armor is uncomfortable." "Continues sobbing."

Gragas "You are the most pathetic creature I have ever met. Fine, if you don't want to do it the right way, you can take the cowards path. There is a switch under that rock over there. Press it to open a secret passage. Follow that and you will be home and everything will be back to normal. But you will never know why you were sent here."

Gnar "WHO CARES, I'M GOING HOME, PRAISE THE SUN!" "Gets outta dodge."

Beyond the Void: Season 1- Episode 20

Azir crying "Gahhhhh!"

A purple void portal opened, ripping the scenery ahead of Azir in half. Syndra stepped out of the portal and pressed a button on her new void watch. The portal shut and disappeared. Azir looked up and saw a version of Syndra he had never seen before. She was wearing the newest void armor with two plasma launchers attached to her back.

Azir "I'm not in the mood for this."

Syndra "I am not here to negotiate, you either take this job or you die."

Azir "I'll decline."

Syndra looks infuriated.

Azir "What? How come you can never get your own dirty work done? You do your own job this time, or I'll have a very personal talk with Malzahar."

Syndra "What are you bickering about? This is my first time on this planet! Regardless, Mal isn't the talking type anymore."

Azir "Yeah right! That guy is a complete jokester!"

Syndra "I wish. Unfortunately, he has.... changed."

Azir "FINE. I'll do it.. but on one condition."

Syndra "Here take this."

Syndra takes a watch out of her void purse and hands it over to Azir.

Azir "This seems way to simple, even for the void."

Syndra "Put it on. It will turn on it's contact mode when it detects that you feel the need to talk to me."

Azir "Sweet! What is it that I have to do?"

Syndra "Kill Lissandra within two days. She is currently hiding in Demacia and plans to turn this world into ice."

Azir "Aw sweet! This job won't even ruin my ego!"

Syndra "What ego?"

Azir "You don't understand, alien."

Syndra "You were just crying over a creepy a** dead rat. I'm pretty sure I understand enough."

Azir smiles a little bit. He then sits on his motorcycle, which turns on when he applies pressure, and rides off towards Demacia with his new bounty. After he is no longer visible, Syndra picks up Teemo.

Syndra "You might just be our greatest test subject till date, young one."

Meanwhile...

Soraka "How is this old building still standing?"

She steps towards the old building. It had been five hours since she left Noxus, which meant that Swain's boat had left for the Shadow Isles. The old Corporate building stood as if it had never been burned down in the first place. As she stepped closer to the entrance, her memories with Corporate Gnar, Warwick and countless others flashed by. Tears began to flow down her cheeks as she became more emotional about it. But, it was no time to cry about the past. Soraka wiped away her tears and entered the building. The first floor was spread with rubble and the walls were all stained with burn marks. The stairs to the actual office were gone with only the top two stair steps remaining. However, something was very different. There was never an open entrance to the basement. It looked like a burrow was dug to go down there. Soraka, knowing that the cure to the curse was down there crawled down through the burrow and tumbled onto the basement floor. Soraka got up and felt for the nearest wall since it was so dark. She then inched her way forward until she saw purple lightning forming a monster's body. The lightning kept moving around the body, which began to move now.

RekSai angrily "HOW DID YOU FIND ME?!?!"

Soraka "I had no idea you were here, I promise. I just need to find a cure for this curse that is about to unleash."

RekSai "Ah, Lissandra. Is she finally doing something with her life?"

Soraka "How did you know about Lissandra?"

RekSai "I travel faster than the speed of sound. I can go wherever I want whenever I want."

Soraka "Wow. If you're so fast, why are you hiding here?"

RekSai "So that the void doesn't find me. They plan on taking me as a lab rat so they can make me a mass weapon of destruction, making it easier for them to take over this world."

Soraka "Oh no!"

RekSai "But we need worry about the situation at hand. What is this curse going to do?"

Soraka "Lissandra is going to use a power booster to turn this whole world into ice."

RekSai "Then you need to take the cure to Demacia as soon as possible. There are no lights, but the cure is somewhere back there. Once you find it, hop on my back and I'll take you there."

Soraka "Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!"

On a rooftop in Demacia...

TahmKench "AHHHRG!"

Tahm woke up to feel the cold breeze hit his warm body. He felt his hands tied behind the chair, along with his legs tied to the chair legs.

Lissandra "I personally love being conscience, how about you?"

TahmKench furiously "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!"

Lissandra "Don't worry, I haven't done anything yet."

TahmKench "So you're behind all of this! You are controlling Garen and countless of others... for what reason?"

Lissandra "To teach this world not to f**k with me again."

TahmKench "If this is about you, leave all of these innocent people alone!"

Lissandra "I'm afraid you won't--"

All of the sudden Quinn jumps off of Valor and lands on the rooftop.

Quinn "YOU PEICE OF S**T!"

Quinn dashes over to Lissandra and bounces off of her. In a split second, Quinn fires her weapon twice. Both of the arrows hit Lissandra's shoulder.

Lissandra in agony "ARRRGH!"

TahmKench "Quinn, GET OUT OF HERE!"

Quinn realized how big of a mistake she just made. She quickly rushed over to Tahm and kissed him. Then she turned around and immediately turned into pure ice.

TahmKench infuriated "NOOO! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!"

Lissandra "I am not weak anymore darling."

Lissandra takes the two arrows out and throws them on the ground.

Lissandra "Looks like we are going to rush this process a lot more than initially planned."

Lissandra faced Tahm and gave him an evil grin. Then cold smoke came out of her fist as ice began to form.

Only two episodes remain in this season.

OHHHH~ o3o Quinn you may have just don fucked up. But i thought Tahm was in the hospital.. im so confused >,<

RvpwnsMay 17, 20161 votes

In the last episode, Quinn goes back to the hospital room Tahm was in and instead of finding him, she sees an empty bed with blood stains and a huge hole in the wall (showing that Lissandra, who was disguised as a nurse, took him while Quinn was in the room with Shaco and Lux).
