#A Corporate Matter Episode: Is it just me, or do they only pick pretty people for the pool party skins.

Draven "Welcome one and all, to Draven's second annual pool party! I am seeing a lot of new faces and I just have to say. None of them are as good as mine!"

Graves "We are all so glad to be here."

Gnar "Speak for yourself. I think I am just going to leave."

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo need remind you? All employee must come pool party and have fun. It good for productivity."

LeeSin "You know, you would probably have a lot more fun if you wore a pool outfit, instead of that warm suit. How are you not dying of heatstroke with that thing and all your fur."

Gnar "I don't like to be cold. But I'm not taking it off. Because for some reason whenever I do people don't realize I am an intelligent Gnar that can speak. They just keep yelling shoo shoo bahnah at me."

Sona "..."

Gnar "Ok, you don't have to do it too."

LeeSin "Hey Sona, you like those new buffs I gave you baby?" "Points fingers and winks."

Sona "..."

LeeSin "Why you gotta be like that? I would be a little nicer to me if I were you. For if Corporate Lee Sin can giveth, Corporate Lee Sin can also taketh."

Leona "Come on, keep fighting. Leona needs her time in the sunlight again."

Draven "We have some special guests today. Announcing the gods of summer beauty. Also known as, THE FOUR PARTYMEN!"

Ziggs "Sounds fun, I like fun, oh yes yes."

Draven "Now you have already met me. The king of mustaches, the only man who can rock an inflatable life vest. POOL PARTY DRAAAAAAAAAVEN!"

RekSai "Swoons."

Draven "That's my girl. Next up, the princess of pool 1v1s. She will kill you with what is definitely a pool noodle. You better stay away if you're a crab. POOL PARTY FIORA!"

Fiora "I do hate crabs, no honor. Always attack when you are low or browsing the shop."

Tryndamere "She, broke, my pool noodle."

Garen "Demacia....." "Stares with mouth open."

Katarina "How could anyone want someone so horribly ugly." "Tries not to be jealous."

Draven "Here comes the queen of summer selfies. The girl everyone wants to talk to. Has to stay in the shade because she is so hot. POOL PARTY MISS FORTUNE!"

MissFortune "Go ahead, take as many pictures as you like. The lady who saved Bilgewater!"

Graves "Heh, you saved it did you? Because I was there, and that is about the last thing I would call it."

MissFortune "You would think so, seeing as how I hunt down scum like you. All that aside, I am really thirsty, could someone grab me a drink?"

Blitzcrank "How about instead I grab a piece of that-"

Tryndamere "Ashe! Fiora broke my pool noodle, how I am supposed to splitpush now?" "Sobs."

Ashe "It's okay Sweety. We will get revenge on her later. In the meantime, just bash people's heads in with this inflatable orca."

Darius "Hey! That's my-"

Ashe "Gives death stare."

Darius "Oh jeez, keep it keep it."

Draven "And finally, Mr. Abs himself. The prince of diving. You can't deal with it. Guaranteed to get you wetter than a vacation to Florida."

Zac "Thank you thank you. I am so glad to finally be recognized for my beauty."

Draven "Get out of here chump. POOL PARTY TARIC!"

Taric "Initiate slow mo." "Starts running in a really sexy way."

MordekaiserOlafYorick ♫I'll be ready!♫

Karthus ♫I'll be ready!♫

Leona "He's so dreamy."

Taric "Continues running on the beach in slow motion."

MordekaiserOlafYorick ♫Whenever you fear♫

Karthus ♫oh don't you fear♫

Lulu "Hey, what are you doing with my volleyball?"

Ezreal "Nothing nothing, I just need to hold it here for a few minutes."

Taric "Gives smile in slow motion."

Lux "He was looking at me, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Renekton "Well, it's a good thing he isn't the lifeguard on duty. Everyone in League could have drowned before he got to them."

MordekaiserOlafYorick ♫I'll be ready!♫

Karthus ♫Forever and always, I'm always here.♫

Sona ♫Epic piano solo.♫

Draven "Now, before any of you guys go and try to drown yourselves hoping Pool Party Taric will save you. Please know that he is actually off duty today."

Taric "Oh, I'm totally on duty. Who needs saving?"

Most of the party runs into the pool.

Gnar "Not me, unless you are talking about money that is."

Draven "You guys have fun. Because the only one Draven needs to save him is, Draaaaaaaaaaven!"

The Time Juncture: Season 1 - Episode 1

DrMundo "Move along, now! If I see you here again I won't control the other guy."

Ekko "Listen old man, I ain't got time for your Jekyll and Hyde s**t show... I have serious business to attend to."

DrMundo "Then take my advice. Take your 'work' and move it out of the alley!"

Ekko "I am staying here no matter what you say. Some random dude is going to come here in about 10 minutes, he will then take me to the Time League and you'll never see me again."

DrMundo "Time League? Yeah, keep dreaming kid. Maybe someday you might become a janitor in that ship."

Ekko "What's your problem? Hop off!"

DrMundo "I'm going back into the lab. I better not see you here when I come back out in 30 minutes."

Mundo limped back in and shut the rusty door behind him. The alley was filthy since it was filled with trash gather for the last two months. The cleanup crew never returned from Noxus since the curse froze the entire city within minutes. The city of Zaun had little to worry about since the curse ended before it could even spread within 50 miles of the city. Regardless of its dirty alleys or even the curse, Zaun had much bigger issues. The city's hero, Jayce, had fallen a long time ago to the evil mad scientist named Viktor. Viktor then claimed the role of ruler and the whole city went to s**t. Every other city had some control over the governing body and corruption within it, not this one.

In the command center of the Time League ship...

Zilean "Alright, we have a big mission set up for us. It says here that we must complete it within a week. This is the easiest brief I have ever read."

Ryze "True."

Zilean looking concerned "Then, what is the problem?"

Ryze "We have one week to bring the greatest villain in Piltover down. ONE week to bring down a b**ch that is currently undefeated against the entire police force of Piltover... that's impossible!"

Zilean "I know that it may seem really hard to see the light right now since we are the only 'special' people here. But, I have hired a boy who might have a lot of potential, especially when dealing with time."

Ryze "Why do we even have other people on this ship? We both know that these men won't survive with the guns we provide them... so what's the point of hiring them?"

Zilean "That is besides the point. This boy should arrive in the next 12 minutes at the West entrance. Be there... Oh! And please don't show off your unimpressive magic tricks."

Ryze "Yeah, yeah... alright. Hey... Hey Zilean!"

Zilean annoyed "What?"

Ryze flipping him off "F**k you!"

Zilean walking towards the west entrance "You've been a pain in the a** ever since they fixed.. you know that right?"

Zilean walks away. Ryze makes sure that Zilean is out of sight, he then pulls out his new watch. It shows that he has one new holographic video request. Ryze accepts the request and rests the watch on a table in front of him.

Viktor "I assume that you have Zilean's trust by now?"

Ryze "Yes. It took me three years, but I guess old men have a knack for allowing untrustworthy characters into their lives."

Viktor completely ignoring what he just said "You have a new mission. Kill the new member of the Time League... and send me his head as evidence. Failure to do so will result in the death of your homeland and everyone you love."

The video conference ended abruptly. Ryze used to feel frightened when he started to work for Viktor, but these days it was much easier to understand. There was no fear of being spotted by a camera or person since pretty much everyone and everything on the ship belonged to Viktor. Ever since he made the mistake of killing Jayce, the city never trusted him. So, in order to right his wrongs, he created the Time League. However, people still did not trust him, so he sent his own robot army to go after Lissandra (the robots didn't even make it close to Demacia, but people believed him anyway). People were fine with Viktor becoming the ruler since he showed no sign of evil. However, the Time Masters have been engaged in a secret war against him ever since the Time League was established... it was only a matter of time until Zilean would make the decision to make that issue go public.

In the Alley...

Ekko starting to feel angry "They are called the freaking Time League and they can manage everything but time.... what a waste!"

The lab door knob started to turn. Ekko looked up in shock, but it was too late. Mundo came out with his butchering knife and chucked it at the wall. It landed 2 inches away from Ekko's face.

DrMundo "I told you to leave! GET OUT!"

Ekko "NO!"

Mundo grabbed the handle of his other knife. Ekko reached for his timewinder, but it was leaning to the left on the wall. There was no time to reach for that, so he performed the one task he knew really well, time jumping. With only seconds to spare, Ekko pulled the Chronobreak and traveled back.

The lab door knob started to turn. Ekko looked up in shock, but this time he phased dived out of the alley and ran towards the Time League ship. Mundo came out and smirked (he knew that kids were too afraid to defy him).

In the launch sector of the Time League ship...

summoner 3 "Sir, we just found unusual timeline activity here!"

Zilean "Where? Near alley #42?"

summoner 3 "Actually, that is exactly where it is!"

Zilean "Then I must hurry and bring Ekko here. Listen to me soldier, make sure that no one enters the ship while I am away."

summoner 3 "Got it. Also, why are you in such a rush?"

Zilean "Because Ekko has the potential to be the strongest member of the Time League. With all the power he has, I have to make sure that he doesn't take advantage of time jumping. If we don't get to him now, his time jumps will ruin the timeline and something really catastrophic will occur."

Ekko: Sometimes people make bad decisions and regret it over a long period of time. During my time with the League, I tried not to make any of those mistakes, in fact, I soon aspired to be a hero. However, what happened after that shook the whole world. My powers.... this curse.... of handling time... is something that I will regret for the rest of my life.

All new episodes of this series will come out every week. Since it is a mini-series, it will only have 6 episodes and each one will be posted around 7pm CDT on Monday.

EDIT: Most of the episodes will be posted around 5pm CDT, but just expect it within the 5-7pm CDT time frame.

You should put this as a different comment instead of as a reply to King Dellron.

Rvpwns2 votes

I already tried that with BtV: Episode 10 (or around ep 10) and it didn't catch on. The fact that Dellron and I share the same world (different timelines) is the reason why these shows are in the reply section.

Emojay1 votes

I never liked the Sweet-Heart skins very much. Maybe a HEART-BREAK skin set, with purple and broken hearts. If this doesnt fit Eve and jinx, then maybe they can do other champs with this style.

Necro Warrior871 votes

Maokai ITS THE HOLY HAND GRENADE! riot please make a monty python skin for maokai where maokai is a bishop and has a holy hand grenade

Emojay1 votes

I would ONLY play Moakai with this skin. Although, they would have to edit it to be less- religous and not make it TTO much Monty, because of copyright. [zombie-nunu-tears]
