#A Corporate Matter Episode: Rocks That Roll Ain't Gnar's Solution.

Soraka "Boss, we have someone here who says she is here to see the one."

Gnar "Which one?"

Soraka "I don't know, the one."

Gnar "Well, I hope I'm not, the one. Send her up."

Taliyah "CORPORATE GNAR, I HAVE FOUND YOU, THE ONE!"

Gnar "Of course I am. What is it this time?"

Taliyah "You are the ElderTar. Master of the four elements."

Gnar "Unless money is an element, I don't think I'm the right Yordle."

Taliyah "Look, dude, I am tired of searching. I have a good feeling about you. SO YOU ARE THE ELDERTAR!"

Gnar "Okay okay. But you might want to double check."

Taliyah "It just so happens I have the perfect way of doing that. We shall ask the writer himself. Oh writer, give us a sign!"

Teemo "Great, we got a wack job in the building."

Oh uh yeah. You guys don't talk to me too often. But yeah, the Eldertar is right here in this building.

Taliyah "See, I was right. Oh, and happy birthday!"

Well, thanks.

Gnar "Ok, that was weird. So, why were you searching for me exactly?"

Taliyah "You see, the four teams lived together in harmony. But that all changed when the Infernal team attacked. Only the Eldertar, master of infernal, mountain, cloud and ocean could bring peace. But just when we needed him most, he vanished. We have all been searching for the new one, searching my whole life. Well, I found you. I am done searching. NOW, YOU ARE COMING WITH ME AND I AM HAVING A CHEESEBURGER!"

Soraka "You are more than welcome to have a cheeseburger here. But Corporate Gnar isn't exactly skilled, at anything. And he never brings peace."

Gnar "Hey, how dare you say I- No wait, you're right."

Taliyah "It's fine, we shall complete his training on the way there."

Gnar "To where?"

Taliyah "That's a surprise, let me know when you are ready to go."

Gnar "Hey, Gentleman Kog'Maw, evidently we are going on some stupid adventure. I know you like that sort of thing, want to come?"

KogMaw "As much as I love stupid adventures, I'm afraid I have to decline. It appears my nephew, Infernal Nasus, has gotten himself in a spot of trouble. His father has exiled him unless he does some task. And he has requested I help him. So I shall be off momentarily!"

Gnar "Wait, your nephew is Infernal Nasus?"

KogMaw "It is quite a long story."

Gnar "Well, now that many disgusting thoughts have entered my mind, Let's go. Come on Soraka and Sona."

Some time later:

Gnar "You know, I thought you would be blind."

Taliyah "What, why?"

Gnar "I don't know. some obscure reference maybe."

Taliyah "Well, let's start your lessons. Here, turn this rock into a bowl."

Gnar "What? I can't do that."

Taliyah "Watch, it's easy. Just work the rock with your hand. And voila! You have a bowl."

Gnar "I am not a stone weaver. Only thing Corporate Gnar Turn rock into is smaller rock."

Taliyah "Ok fine, maybe you need a more motivating approach. Alright, stand right here."

Gnar "Ok, what is with the earth half pipe?"

Taliyah "A giant boulder is going to come down and try to flatten you. You need to move it out of the way with your Eldertar powers."

Gnar "But I don't have any powers."

Taliyah "Not yet, but you better get them or else this boulder gonna do some squashin'. Also, I covered the whole area with Unraveled Earth. So don't even think about jumping out of the way. ALRIGHT, LET'S DO THIS."

Gnar "AWWWWWWWWWWWWW, MOMMY PLEASE NO!" "Gets flattened by boulder."

Soraka "Don't worry boss. I am sure you will get it within your next few tries."

Many hours later:

Gnar "Soraka, please just stop healing me. Let me die and end this. I can't do it."

Sona "..."

Gnar "I'm too tired to even be offended by that."

Taliyah "Here we go, here we go again."

Gnar "Not, this, TIME!" "Goes mega form."

Gnar "ROAR!!!!!!" "Ults boulder far far away."

Gangplank "MY ORANGES!"

Gnar "ARRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" "Grabs chunk of ground and throws it near Taliyah."

Taliyah "Well, throwing that much rock is close enough for me. Congrats, you are now a mountain bender. Onto the next element training."

Meanwhile:

KogMaw "Wow, this sure is a nice Battleship you got here."

Nasus "Welcome Uncle, I am glad you have come to join me in my quest."

KogMaw "So, chappy, what is it you need me for?"

Nasus "Well since I am a complete embarrassment to the family. What with my short range, no mobility, and weak laning phase. My father, Scorched Earth Xerath the infernal lord. Has banished me unless I can capture or kill the Eldertar."

KogMaw "Oh dear, it seems I have a dilemma. Do I side with my new chaps, or my family? Well, as the old saying goes. Blood is thicker than water, but tea is more delicious. So I must side with tea."

Nasus "What are you muttering to yourself over there?"

KogMaw "Nothing, nothing. But I must ask, do you like tea?"

Nasus "I am more of a stacks person, but yeah. Tea is alright."

KogMaw "Alright, TALLY-HO, TO KILL CORPORATE GNAR."

Nasus "Wait, you know who the Eldertar is. Well, why didn't you say so sooner? I was worried we would have never found him and I would have to live on no cs island. Let's go!"

KogMaw "Oops, maybe if I hadn't said anything. Then we wouldn't be off to kill someone. Well, you live and you learn. WE SHALL HAVE HIS HEAD!"

(I get to release a story on my birthday, yay! Send Dank memes.)

Beyond the Void: Season 1- Episode 21

TahmKench yelling "YOU MONSTER! ONCE I GET OUT OF HERE, I'M GONNA--"

Tahm paused unexpectedly. He tried to yell his remaining words, but couldn't get them out of his mouth.

Lissandra "Or you... Or you what? Kill me? HA! There's the fire, baby! Too bad you couldn't be nearly as useful two months ago..."

Lissandra fires an ice shard into Tahm's chest, impaling him. Tahm looks up at the sky as he tries to grasp for air, but after a few seconds he closes his eyes and his head drops.

Lissandra "Pathetic. Now, time to begin the spell... ARERUM.... MAGISTRO EL LAMBRAOTYR!!!!"

The terrace beneath her began to turn into pure ice and it started to spread slowly. About ten minutes later, the whole roof top was covered in ice and all of the pests/rodents on the terrace were turned into ice.

Meanwhile in Valoran..

Soraka "Ok! I got it! How fast can you go again?"

RekSai "Mach 3."

Soraka "Sounds good to me!"

Soraka takes the vile and hops onto the Rek'sai's back. Then the purple lightning starts to move around more frequently. Rek'sai digs a burrow and speeds off towards Demacia.

In Demacia...

Garen "GET OUT!"

Azir "Are you kidding me? I need this package to be delivered to Mr. Jhin... He has way too much fan mail if you ask me!"

The motorcycle had two boxes on the back which all seemed to be filled with envelopes. Garen, who was very displeased, let Azir in for the sake of not causing any commotion. Azir, who was wearing a fake mustache and other various useless accessories, winked at Garen and rode off in happiness.

Azir yelling off in the distance "MAY AURELIAN SOL PROTECT YOUR SOUL!"

Garen to himself "I hope so."

Azir then sped up and stopped right in front of the building. How did he know which building to go to? It obviously had to be the one with ice covering the top half of it.

Azir "Now... how the hell do I get up there?"

item 3155 "This is Hexy speaking, your AI."

Azir "THIS HAD AN AI THE WHOLE TIME!?!?!?"

item 3155 "Sorry for any inconvenience, but on your ride to Demacia Heimerdinger installed a new update which included me."

Azir "Well, send him my gratitude! Now, how the heck do I get up this building?"

item 3155 "Initiate copter mode, sir."

Azir "Do it."

The motorcycle then began to shake as the cycle began to levitate and the wheel turned sideways and became propellers.

Azir "WHA-- NO WAY! THIS IS SO COOL!"

The cycle acted as an elevator and stopped right as it reached the roof.

Azir "Wait, what happened?"

item 3155 "I'm afraid that the conditions on the roof will destroy this cycle. May I also suggest on finding Lissandra elsewhere? You may die here."

Azir "I'll take my chance. Thank you for your help!"

Azir jumped off of the copter cycle and landed on the edge of the flat terrace. All of the sudden, the terrace became covered with white smoke. A little figure started to form within the thick smoke. The figure started to walk closer and closer to Azir until it was very obvious as to who it was.

Azir shocked "You're... You.. Oh my F**K! You're alive. Wow."

Gnar in demon gnar voice "You shouldn't have thrown off that boat. We both were gonna make it out alive!"

Azir "What happened to you? Who turned out into this... monster?"

Gnar "MONSTER?!?! YOU'RE THE MONSTER HERE!"

Azir "I get that this might be a little frustrating for you, but I did that because I valued your life. Now if you would excuse me, I need to go kill this ice witch."

Gnar "I don't think so. I'm gonna kill you first!"

Azir "Ok... let's not get ragey, no one wants to deal with the hulk here."

Gnar "ARRR-- RAHHHHH!"

Corporate Demon Gnar threw his newly developed boomerang, which hit Azir hard in the chest. The hit knocked Azir back... off the building. But before the boomerang could make it back into Gnar's hands, Gnar turned into pure ice and the boomerang hit his iced hand and dropped.

Azir "AHHHHHH!"

Azir tried to grab something during his fall, but nothing was stable enough. This was it. He closed his eyes, and prepared to die.

Beyond the Void will return June 6, 2016 for the season finale.

When we first see her (in the Swain introduction episode), she is very interested to know what is going on in the world. When she gets out and Swain explains the reason for her release, Soraka wants to get rid of the curse that Lissandra wishes to set off by traveling to the Corporate Matter building (the place where The Corporate Matter is for most of its episodes) and getting the vile to cure the curse. In the finale, it will be revealed whether Soraka will be able to cure the curse or not.... DUN DUN DUNNNN!

Anyways, expect an update next week for this show. The finale will be the week after since I want to make it as epic as possible. Also, the show is not ending (lol). This is a season finale... so if Dellron green lights a season 2, the show will pick up from where the season finale leaves off and the story will continue (just like a normal tv show)!

#The Arcade Episode 2: Tentacles, Rocks, and Creepy Art. MissFortune "Hello and welcome to The Arcade. The show where we look at free champions, or new champions, even reworks and other news, and make bad jokes." "Hecarim went a little insane last time, so I'm doing the rotation and shit stuff. Our first champion is Taliyah. Because she just got released." "So what is it like to be a champion now Taliyah?" Taliyah I dunno. Uh bye! _ults _ MissFortune "WHAT THE FUCK THERE IS ANOTHER WALL, SOMEONE GET MALPHITE" Malphite "What." MissFortune "You're a rock, right?" Malphite "Uh yeah." MissFortune "SO YOU CAN BREAK THIS WALL RIGHT?" Malphite "Yeah just give me like five minutes." FIVE MINUTES LATER.. MissFortune "Ok, now that's done. Onto the next champion, Vel'Koz." Velkoz "Is this the cameo episode?" Malzahar "Yep. Probably is." KogMaw "Oh cool. Now I can be annoying in somewhere else besides the void!" Chogath "Just leave me out of this." walks off screen MissFortune "I didn't expect... uh... 1 2 3 4.. 4 of you!" Velkoz "Actually 3. Cho left." MissFortune "Oh yeah. Anyway, what do you think about your rework Vel?" Velkoz "It's ok. No one plays me still, but its ok." MissFortune "Welp that was quick. I can't really think of anything else to say so onto our next champion, Jhin." Jhin "Some call me mad. All artists are mad." MissFortune "No Jhin, no they aren't." Jhin "Wait.. what? I'VE BEEN LIVING A LIE?!" MissFortune "..." Jhin "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" runs of screen, making a hole in the wall Hecarim "I'm back from URF." MissFortune "Good, this is driving me crazy." gets off chair and leaves Hecarim "Alright lets see who we have next... ah forget it who wants to watch 5 or something more champion interviews?" "WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING ELSE!" Veigar "LIKE KIDNAPPING A PRINCESS!" Blitzcrank "I. LIKE. THIS. IDEA." Hecarim "What the?! The bosses?! What are you doing here?!" Veigar "to do comedy so we don't go of TV after 3 episodes TO BE... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL." Hecarim "Welp, I guess we have to do a pointless quest that will take 3 to 4 episodes." "See you next time when we do things."

TO BE CONTINUED..
