The Free Rotation, Episode 6:

Somewhere under an army tent in a battle zone:

Sona "..."

Gnar "Sona, where have you been for the past week? Nevermind, we will talk about it later. You missed out on a lot."

Sona "???"

Gnar "Don't be so pushy Sona. Veigar got the last dfg and is on a crazed rampage. I called in the commando's to stop him, i'm currently awaiting a status report."

"Ring ring"

Gnar "Hello, this is Corporate Gnar."

JarvanIV "Yes, this is Commando Jarvan, i have just respawned and have some bad news. we cant beat Veigar."

Gnar "What! how can one yordle stop all five of you?"

JarvanIV "I will give you a rundown of what happened. Lux and Galio were instantly caught in his event horizon before they could do anything. Galio got hit with dfg and both of them were subsequently destroyed by his dark matter. Garen was able to evade those two powers, but just couldn't dodge his baleful strike and was defeated."

Gnar "That's horrible, what else?"

JarvanIV "Xin and i managed to get close, but as soon as we did, Xin just got blasted with primordial burst. Even though he had no ability power, he died. It was up to me, and he was weak, it was an epic battle but i managed to slay him."

Gnar "Then whats the bad news?"

JarvanIV "He has revive, that normally useless spell won't let him die. He was back instantly and killed me."

Gnar "Ok, prepare for round two, i'm gonna have a talk with someone."

JarvanIV "Roger that sir."

Sona "???"

Gnar "Someone i hate, but he is out best shot at beating Veigar. Ahem, connect me to head of league balance"

LeeSin "Hello, this is corporate lee sin, who am i speaking to?"

He spoke with an american businessman accent. He wore: a pair of sunglasses, a white business shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a striped tie and a pair of tweed pants. All topped with messy blonde hair.

Gnar "Its me, Corporate Gnar, i need your help."

LeeSin "Ahah, Gnarly, what did ya screw up this time?"

Gnar "Its Veigar, he has escaped and we cant stop him, not even the best of the best can do anything against him."

LeeSin "Did you try commando Galio?"

Gnar "Veigar got a hold of the last working dfg."

LeeSin "Well you really got a lot of problems on your hands, don't ya Gnarly? Well ok, i have been meaning to change Veigar, i wasn't planning on it for a while. But for you, i'll do it now. Put me in touch with commando Jarvan for the details on what Veiger needs and i'll call ya back when i have the changes in place."

Gnar "Now that that's done, i need to vent. Sona, listen to how i did the free champions this week. I started off with Udyr and Xin Zhao, because people are still complaining that the jungle is too hard, they shouldn't have that problem with these champions."

Sona "..."

Gnar "Yeah Sona, i know. Anyways, we stopped seeing enough Vayne smurfs, i blame it on her being too expensive for new accounts, so i made her free. Zilean is getting changed, so players might like him now. I don't know why i make Urgot free, no one ever plays him, except that one guy. But maybe this time someone else will play him. Now that Karthus can't keep teamfighting four times, he can be free again.

"ring ring"

Gnar "Are they done?"

LeeSin "Yeah, all fixed. Your commandos can now evade most of his damage, and his ult shouldn't one shot any of you anymore. Don't let anyone know this is the reason, but i also removed revive for ya, so he will stay dead long enough to capture him."

Gnar "Alright commandos, get me that Veigar!"

JarvanIV Galio Lux Garen XinZhao "SIR YES SIR!"

JarvanIV "Alright, there is a lot of anti-magic energy coming from over there, it must be Veigar. Lets get him."

Lux "Surrender now Veigar, you are weaker than before. Come quietly and i wont laugh when we bring you in."

[???] "Veigar isn't here, my fellow anti-mage is off somewhere else. It is only i."

Kassadin "Harbinger Kassadin, muhahahahah! Now to make my escape."

Lux "Not if i bind you!"

Kassadin "Ill just riftwalk away, haha."

"Light binding struck home"

Kassadin "I can't riftwalk as far, CURSE YOU LEE SIN!!! Alright, take me to jail."

Lux "Ehehaha, looks like you got, "puts on sunglasses" binded by the light." http://cow.org/csi/

Galio "Booooo!"

Lux "Now, since you didn't come quietly, EHEEAHAHAHEAHAHAEAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" http://www.finalesfunkeln.com/

Kassadin "OH GOD NO, PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!"

Garen "Isn't it bad enough i have to put up with this at home, stop torturing us along with the bad guys Lux."

Meanwhile:

LeeSin "Thanks for telling me Kassadin was gonna be a problem and needed his riftwalk changed. go talk to art about those new icons, and i threw in a couple changes to you as well buddy."

Zilean "I knew you would do that."
