#A Corporate Matter Episode: Thomas the Genocide Engine.

Gnar "Alright guys, looks like I need to go on a trip."

Warwick "In your favorite rock-"

Gnar "FINISH THAT SENTENCE AND I WILL FIRE YOU RIGHT HERE!"

Soraka "Where do you need to go?"

Gnar "According to Corporate Mundo, we have an event going over at Targon."

Soraka "How come I didn't know this, when does it start?"

Gnar "Like three months ago apparently. It's some weird drawn out thing. Anyways, I have got to take the Overpriced Express. Soraka, I want you to come with, I don't think I can be alone with Corporate Mundo for that long. Sona, you are in charge of here while I am gone."

Sona "..."

Gnar "Just try and keep everything running like normal. I shall message you on who to make free."

KogMaw "Have no fear Corporate Gnar. We shall keep this office in fine working order!"

Gnar "Rito help me."

A few hours later:

Hecarim "Welcome to the pony express everyone. This is your Captain, erm no, Pilot, that's not right, aha, Conductor speaking. I am talking to you over the intercoms, pretty cool right? Just wanting to let you know that this is a long trip, so sit back and please try not to kill anybody. We don't need another murder on the ponyental express."

Soraka "What does he mean by another?"

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo say it best not to ask too many questions."

Gnar "So, completely ignoring that. Boss, I have been meaning to ask you about a possible raise. You see, I have had to deal with a lot, and I think I have done a pretty good job of things."

DrMundo "Huh, what say you? Corporate Mundo zone out, thinking of last time me had furry creature to self. Corporate Mundo sad, that one not last long as me hope."

Gnar "Well, ok then. I think I am going to be over there, forget I said anything."

Hecarim "OH, THAT IS REALLY NOT GOOD! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! Wait, did I leave this thing on? Uhmmmm, you heard nothing, all is fine, nobody panic. On an unrelated note, everyone here has their wills in order, right?"

Gnar "Well, that sounds ominous. Let me take a look outside with these Binoculars. Hmmm, what's that on the tracks?"

Sion "CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA!"

Gnar "OH, THAT THING IS COMING FAST!"

Sion "CHOOOOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gnar "EVERYONE BRACE FOR IMPACT!!!!"

Sion "PAIN TRAIN'S COMING TO TOWN!!!!!"

Both trains collide in a huge crash. Explosions and screaming everywhere.

Gnar "ALRIGHT, WHO LET MICHAEL BAY DIRECT THIS EPISODE?"

Sion "NOW YOU SHALL ALL DIE!"

Riven "Wait, I thought you were a train, now you're a giant monster thing? Like, were you ever a functioning train or?"

Sion "I played train once, my passengers did not survive when I decided to walk."

Riven "But you can't just go around killing people and destroying property like this is some kind of action movie. We have rules and-" "Gets crushed by giant charged up hammer. While screaming like this."

Sion "Man, it feels good to kill a Riven."

Varus "HEY, WHY ARE YOU EVEN DOING THIS?"

Sion "BECAUSE, THEY DECOMISSIONED MY WIFE, TURNED HER INTO SCRAP. TRIED TO DO THE SAME TO ME BEFORE I KILLED THEM. NOW I AM HUNTING DOWN HER PARTS TO REBUILD HER. AND ONE OF THEM IS SOMEWHERE IN WHATS LEFT OF THIS TRAIN!!!!!!!! NOW DIE!" "Knocks Varus out of the park."

Gnar "Quick, Soraka we need to run!"

Sion "A YORDLE, YOUR KIND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THIS. YOU SHALL DIE SLOWLY!"

Gnar "OH SH-"

Malphite "SMASH!"

Gnar "Mecha Malphite, what took you so long?"

Malphite "I was going as fast as I can."

Sion "YOU! IF YOU WON'T ABANDON THE FLESHLINGS AND JOIN ME. THEN YOU ARE A FOOL, THEY WILL DESTROY YOU AS SOON AS THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU. BUT NOT IF I DO FIRST!"

A giant mecha battle ensues, with shockwaves and all kinds of people getting stepped on. Oh, and explosions, lots of explosions.

Hecarim "Awh man, I finally get my dream job and Pacific Rim breaks out right above me."

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo say me ride you and we get away from giant metal monsters. Yes?"

Hecarim "I don't know, it is kind of against everything me and my kind believe in to let you ride me."

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo say he bribe judges at next contest."

Hecarim "Another blue ribbon for Hecarim! Hop on!"

DrMundo "Me say go faster!"

Hecarim "Hey bud, I can only go so fast. And you weigh a ton, you need to lay off the souls of the League players a bit."

Gnar "WAIT BOSS, COME BACK!"

DrMundo "Ignore all sounds, me say you no go back. Wait, Corporate Mundo now remember, if underling die me have pay for funeral. CORPORATE MUNDO COMING BACK FOR FURRY UNDERLING AND FRIEND!"

Hecarim "Let's hope this doesn't break my back, then I would be completely lame. You know what they do to lame horses. I don't want to be used to bind wood. But I want that ribbon, guess I have no choice, you two hop on as well."

Soraka "Wait, what about all the other dying passengers of the train?"

Lucian "Please, help us."

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo no hear anything. Onward me trusty steed."

A few agonizing hours later:

Gnar "Yes, we finally made it, Mount Targon."

Hecarim "Nearly dies from having to carry three people."

DrMundo "Horse no work no more, now me need shoot it."

Soraka "WAIT STOP, THIS ISN'T TRUE GRIT!"

Taric Why hello there, glad to see you have arrived."

Soraka "Taric, what are you doing here?"

Taric "Oh, I moved to Targon now. But the place was really lacking in the tourism industry. So I set up The Grand BudaGem Hotel."

Gnar "Great, we could use a place to stay."

Taric "Oh, I know. Corporate Mundo set it up. But I am going to need something extra, since your attire is so drab."

DrMundo "Me no have money."

Taric "No money, I have a huge hole that needs filling, and Hecarim might just be big and strong enough to do it. Come, follow me Horse. I'll have Leona show the rest of you around."

Leona Ugh, fine. I'll show the stupid guests around."

Soraka "Well, aren't you just a little ball of sunshine."

Leona "Oh, sorry. I get really crabby when the sun goes down. But if you find me during the day I'll be as bright as the sun's beautiful face."

Gnar "Man, I just want to sleep. Riding that horse took a worse toll on me than playing ten ranked games in a row."

Leona "Alright, your rooms are on the third floor to the right. Showers are somewhere, I forgot. And we have a pool behind the hotel. But seeing how it snows here eleven months out of the year, I don't think you are going to get much use out of it."

Soraka "And what's down the way Taric went?"

Leona "Oh, the only thing down there is the master bedroom."

(I would like to give special thanks to a fan of the series, tijscvd. He drew this really awesome fan art of Corporate Gnar, which I recommend you check out here: https://imageshack.com/a/YX2M/1 You guys are the best, thanks for all you do with A Corporate Matter. Whether it's reading it, or drawing, or showing your friends, or commenting, or upvoting.)

Beyond the Void: Season 1- Episode 16
AZIR IS IN THE FREE WEEK! (Reader discretion is advised for mature references)

Azir grabs his head and yells in agony. He then stands up and places his hands upon the holes in his armor. He places two fingers inside the hole and then presses firmly. The red blood came gushing out again.

Azir "Gaaah!"

He places both of his hands firmly against the hole to prevent further bleeding.

Azir "Great! An open wound is just what I need!"

Teemo "You have to get out of here."

Azir "AHHHHHH! WHY?!?!??!?!"

Teemo "How have you not gotten used to my random appearances yet?"

Azir "Ugh, I don't anyone will ever get used to it..."

A fool enters the room

Draven "What is this!?!?!?? WHO BROUGHT DISEASE TO NOXUS?!?!"

Teemo "Really? Nice to meet you, Draven!"

Draven "Get the f**k away from me, you.... you...."

Draven looks down and sees a dart stuck on his... cucumber.

Azir "Out of all the places, Teemo... Dammit!"

Teemo "What? It's funny!"

Azir "Do you have an escape plan with you?"

Teemo "No. My plan was to go towards Demacia in order to stop you and Tahm from making the greatest mistakes of your lives. But then, a mummy boy stopped me and showed me things that have enlightened me... so I walked in the other direction."

Azir "Great! Now I have to deal with you!"

Teemo "Shouldn't Darius be here?"

Azir "Nah, he's getting it on with Katarina."

Teemo "That leaves us two hours to get out of here with little to no tanks to beat."

Azir "More like ten more minutes..."

Teemo "There is no way it can take that quickly... at least two hours in total!"

Azir "But, she's hot."

Teemo "True. Where is your robot friend?"

Azir "Getting it on with---"

Teemo "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? PEOPLE COME HERE JUST TO HAVE SEX?!?!?"

Azir "Yep."

Teemo "I thought Noxus was one of the strongest nations alive... boy was I wrong."

Azir "We only have a few minutes left... follow me, there might be one person who can help us reach Tahm in time."

Somewhere in the Ionian jungle...

MonkeyKing "ARRGH! He beat me again! I WILL FIND YOU GNAR!! YOU HEAR ME? I'M GONNA FIND YOU AND F**KING END YOU!!!"

Wukong rests against a tree and tries to calm down, but this tree was weird. It seemed to be clothed like a cat.

Maokai "Meow!"

MonkeyKing "Meowkai! Why would you just stand here and not help me defeat that son of b**ch?"

Maokai "Meow Meow, Meow Meow Meow MEOW!"

MonkeyKing "I can't speak cat. Talk normally!"

Maokai "MEEEE-OWWW!"

MonkeyKing "Oh my gosh! I just got a great idea! What if you become my pet and together we take down Corporate Gnar!!"

Maokai "Purrr!"

MonkeyKing "You are so f**king weird.... Wow!"

Somewhere in the Void World...

Syndra "Welcome to the Void World, Shaco. May I give you a tour?"

Shaco "Yeah, a tour of that body... MMM!"

Syndra "What the f**k!?!"

Shaco "I just need to find my friend... so if you would please step aside... that would be great!"

Syndra "Or maybe I should kill you!"

Shaco "Why in the world would you kill such a aesthetically pleasing guy?"

Syndra "I have been informed of a certain jumper that has intruded the lab."

Syndra holds the picture out right next to Shaco's head. The picture resembled Shaco perfectly, so she placed the picture back in the folder and then stepped towards Shaco, forming a purple ball in her hand.

Shaco "You're willing to kill an innocent jumper in the freaking immigration offices! By the way, that idiot in the picture is not me. Why the hell would I commit such a useless crime?"

Syndra "It mentions that the person in the picture is an a**hole."

Shaco "Damn, you got me there."

Shaco breaks through the tape and enters the void world. Syndra chases after him. Shaco pixelated back to life... only to find out that he was now in a world where everything was purple.

Syndra "STAND DOWN, YOUNG MAN!"

Shaco "Woah, you must have some real sh**ty architects. This world sucks!"

Syndra threw a plasma ball at him, which hit his back, throwing him forward. Shaco landed on his chest and tried to stand up, but could not.

Syndra "Ah, the paralysis effect. Only jumpers get affected by it."

Shaco "Ah, my knife. Glad I still have it!"

Shaco threw his knife, but it pixelated right before making contact with Syndra's face.

Syndra "Jumpers cannot kill the Void in their own habitat, so don't even try."

Shaco "Impressive. But, I always have one trick left up my sleeve."

Syndra started to form another ball in order to swing it and crush Shaco. However, Shaco disappeared into a cloud of red smoke and the plasma ball smashed the ground instead. Syndra was furious, never had a jumper beaten her before. She pulled out her portable radio and informed the Void officials.

Syndra "This is Reach #459 speaking, can you hear me?"

item 3512 "Loud and clear, ma'am."

Syndra "There has been a breach in this sector. The suspect is dangerous and can escape my grasp easily. Please inform the Zz'Rot officials."

item 3512 "The information shall reach them within two to five sector minutes. Thank you, Reach #459."

Malzahar entered the sector with Syndra in it. He was angry and spoke with urgency.

Syndra "Sir? Oh my-- It is a pleasure meeting you!"

Malzahar "Listen to me very carefully Syndra, I have come to you only because my other staff have been knocked out by this... breach."

Syndra "Yes, we are hard at work trying to find and catch this criminal."

Malzahar "No! I want you to pull your resources immediately, this breach is the least of our concerns as of now."

Syndra "What's wrong?"

Malzahar "In the outside world, there is a ice witch who goes by the name Lissandra. She has been in hiding for the past 40 years and is now seeking to destroy the world."

Syndra "So? wasn't that our goal too?"

Malzahar "Our goal was simply to enrich the population in the way of the Void, but she wants to turn the land into ice, which remove our sphere of influence immediately."

Syndra "What do you want me to do?"

Malzahar "I want you to go into the outside world, track Lissandra down and then kill her."

Syndra "I am afraid I do not have the rank to transport myself into the outside world."

Malzahar "Congratulations then, you have been promoted to the Assistant Head Official of the Void."

Syndra "Woah... I will see her dead, sir."

Malzahar "Perfect! And as far as this breach goes, I don't really give a f**k about it. Shaco and Jhin do not matter in our continuum, so release both of them from the Reach scale of criminal order."

Syndra "Consider it done."

Malzahar "Oh yeah, and don't take this promotion easily. You have four days to complete this task, or I will kill you, do you understand?"

Syndra suddenly firghtened "Yes, I do."

Malphite "I was going as fast as I can." Hehe... As a Malphite main (with his Mecha skin, which is flipping sweet) I really appreciated your input of the Mecha battle. I have yet to fight a Mecha Sion, but I think it would be fantastic! Keep it up King Dellron!

When I read that line I immediatly though of his record for MS... Malphite's highest recorded movement speed is: 31,102,888 MS That is pretty damn fast... For a GIANT ROCK!

The Void Show: Episode 1: The Sacrifice (WARNING) This contains some foul language. Reader discretion is advised.

Chogath "Hey Malz, we want a sacrifice so if you can do that that'd be great." Malzahar "A'ight." A little while later.. Malzahar "La la la la la la, wait why the f*ck am I singing?" Amumu "I dunno" Malzahar "HOLY SHIT WTF WHERE DID YOU COME FROM" Amumu "Over there." Malzahar "Oh." Amumu "I heard you mumbling about a sacrifice thing so I decided I would help you." Malzahar "Ok, cool. First, just sacrifice yourself to the void." Amumu "WTF?! NO I MEANT TO GET YOU A SACRIFICE! NOT SACRIFICE ME!" Malzahar "Oh. Y'know you could've just said that." Amumu "Ehh, true but I didn't feel like it." Amumu "Anyway I know a good sacrifice." Malzahar "What is it then?" Amumu "It is known as... THE TEEMO." Malzahar "Oooookay. So how do we get to this 'teemo'?" Amumu "I know a shortcut. Its actually a train." LATER (again).. Amumu "Here we are!" Malzahar "Ok." Amumu "Why do you sound like Rammus all of the sudden?" Malzahar "Who?" Amumu "Nevermind. Anyway, the train is almost here." Sion "ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN" Malzahar "Is that.. Mecha Zero Sion?" Sion "YEP" Malzahar "Cool." Amumu "Mecha Sion, we need to get to Teemo." Sion "ALRIGHT I WILL TAKE YOU THERE BECAUSE IM A TRAIN AND THATS WHAT I DO" Malzahar "I'm going to assume that was supposed to be funny." Sion "ALL ABOARD!"

But besides that, most of the champions on the rotation are particularly bad at URF, except maybe Talon. I wonder if they did that on purpose?
