A Corporate Matter: Episode 28.

Gnar "Ah, good to be back from that accursed place known as Bilgewater."

KogMaw "I do miss the taste of the air however."

Gnar "You never cease to disgust me. I have been slowly messing with Corporate Lee Sin. He owes me five bucks. He lost a bet with me about Gangplank coming back. He thought that Tahm Kench would be involved."

KogMaw "I personally thought it would be oranges. You know, he just ate them and everything would be k."

Gnar "So, until he gives me the money. I am not gonna stop getting people to rage at him. Juggernauts are weak against kiting, so i made kalista and ashe free last week. Now i am making cait free. You ever try a morde bot lane against any of them. Not fun. Lee messed up and made Skarner really broken. Like, wayyyyy too stronk. I am making him free, so people can fall in love playing him, while hate playing against him. Then when they nerf him everyone will just hate Corporate Lee Sin."

KogMaw "I will try not to get on your bad side. Little rough making life miserable for mordekaiser players over a bet with the head of league balance though."

Gnar "Some may call me a villain, but i don't care. Plus, it direct some of the hate off of me. They all blame me for the changes, even though i had nothing to do with them. I guess it because i work for the same company, they just assume its all my fault."

Soraka "Uhmmm, sir. There is someone here to see you. Says he is here to bring justice."

Gnar "Sigh" "Send him on up."

KogMaw "I wonder if justice means food."

Gnar "No, i don't think it means fo-"

Garen "DIE ACCURSED VILLAIN!!!!!!"

Gnar "AHHHHHHH, WHY IS HE SO FAST!!"

Soraka "HE HAS A DEAD MANS PLATE!"

Gnar "WHAT THE HECK IS A DEAD MA-"

Garen "DEMACIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Soraka "WHAT IN THE-"

Garen "JUDGEMENT!!!!"

Corporate Gnar is knocked out. Or maybe dead. Nahhh, then the story would be over, you guys know he ain't dead. Unless this is all a ploy to surprise you, and we are now in league of thrones.

Gnar "Huh, whats going on?"

Ekko "Shhhhh man, welcome to the academy."

Gnar "Academy Ekko, what are you doing here?"

Ekko "Follow me."

Chogath "Do you mind?"

Gnar "Oh sorry, wait, why is there a shower floating in endless space through this door."

Draven "DRAAAAAAAAAAAVEN!!!"

Gnar "AH! This place is freaky. I better follow Ekko."

Ekko "Right here, watch out for this teacher though."

Ryze "Alright, whats 2+2. In a normal world, it would equal 4. But this isn't a normal world. This is a world with Yordles that live among us. With dark Yordle magic, 2+2 can equal Fish. But who cares about that, right? YORDLE GODPARENTS, YORDLE GODPARENTS!!!"

Gnar "He's right you know."

Ekko "Just be careful man, most don't know about Yordles here."

Back at the office:

Soraka "What did you do that for, Garen?"

Garen "He was the villain, i must kill all villains. It is my job now. Hang on, i am getting something. Vayne just got a pentakill somewhere. She isn't even injured. FOR DEMACIA!!!!!!"

Soraka "He is so gonna get rekt. Now about Corporate Gnar."

KogMaw "Can't you just heal him?"

Soraka "He had his whole skeleton knocked right out of him. Broken bones i can heal in an instant. But growing them back, that needs a real doctor."

Teemo "Just don't move, the skeleton missed me by like two inches, i am fine. Is it staring at me? Does it know i am here. Stop the crazy talk, i, Recon Teemo. Am still just as undetected as always. I think i may have stayed here too long. i think it knows."

Back in the dream:

Darius "Welcome to dunking 101. You here to learn all about dunking?"

Gnar "You look a little old to be a student here, Academy Darius."

Darius "I may have been held back, two, three, thirty four times. But that isn't important. At least i can teach and attend class at the same time."

Gnar "I don't know if i need to learn about dunking."

Darius "So what you do is. Once you dunk someone, you let the power flow through you. You dunk everything in sight, using the might of noxus. All lesser creatures shall cower in fear from the might of your dunk."

Gnar "I think i am gonna go now."

Darius "Dunk, DUNK! Dunk, dunk? Duuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnk. Dunk dunk dunk dunk."

Back in reality:

Soraka "Don't worry boss, we are almost at the hospital."

KogMaw "Wait up you darn bananbulance. I don't have salvation, i can't go that fast."

Akali "Welcome, do you guys need some treatment?"

Soraka "A nurse, oh good. My boss hear needs some real help."

Akali "Oh i see, i can give him some real help. I can also give you some treatment if you want."

Soraka "Oh i'm fine, i don't need any-"

Kennen "BACK AWAY FROM HER!!!"

Akali "Uses Twilight Shroud and disappears."

Kennen "She didn't do anything to you guys right?"

Soraka "No, she was gonna take my boss to this back room and help him. Isn't she a nurse."

Kennen "Not anymore, not after what happened with amumu. Don't worry, i am Kennan M.D. Docter at law. I can help you for real."

Dreaming again:

Vladimir "Welcome, heh, to the arcade."

Gnar "Alright, why is blitz catching poros though, that makes no sense. He is a cold heartless robot. Poros mean nothing to him."

Riven "C-C-C-COMBO!!!!"

Gnar "And why does this school have its own arcade?"

Blitzcrank "THE TIME OF WOMAN AND HORSE THING HAS COME TO AN END!!!"

Gnar "Why does he look like an old game i played as a kid?" http://www.vgmuseum.com/scans/psx/02/ballb.jpg

MissFortune "BACK OFF YOU MINI BOSS, I WANT TO END THIS AND FIGHT THE FINAL BOSS, VEIGAR. Wait, blitzcrank is the the mini boss, not veigar. Something is backwards here."

Hecarim "Yeah, that definitely is a short joke. TIME FOR EPIC GUITAR HERO SOLO!!!!" "BWAHAH WAHHHH WAN WAN WARGHHHHHOBO"

Sona "↑↑↓↓←→←→"

MissFortune "Yeah, he is pretty good at music. But you got the real dance moves sona."

Blitzcrank "HEY, MACARENA!!!!! NOW DIE!"

Gnar "Wow, my subconscious is really messed up, i hope i wake up soon."

Very soon™

In a hospital bed:

Soraka "Yay, you are awake."

Gnar "I had the weirdest dream, you weren't there."

Soraka

Gnar "And you weren't there."

KogMaw

Gnar "I don't know who you are, but you weren't there.

Kennen

Gnar "It was such a peaceful place, but now I'm back with you idiots."

Soraka "Oh Boss, glad you are ok."

Cue audience laughter and freeze frame.

I swear I missed a strip because I dont remember akali doing anything bad to amumu 0.0

King Dellron1 votes

Didn't miss anything, it was a reference to her splash art.

As well as the way the skin is perceived as her being more dressed as a nurse, and not an actual nurse.

Deystroyer1 votes

Oh ok, didn't see her splash XD

They're putting out a hotfix. They're probably trying to see how strong the nerfed Skarner is.

EgoTeAmo2 votes

Patiently awaits Zed who has been 4monthes when last f2p. I remember I was still new at the game when I tried him, all my friends said he's to hard and I should wait to play him. Well I guess 4monthes is quite the wait.
