A Corporate Matter: Episode 27.

One week ago:

Gnar "I am getting real tired of being locked up here, when is someoone gonna save us."

Soraka "I don't know what you want me to do about it. I was made to heal, not blow up walls."

Sona "..."

Soraka "Well then, why don't you. Your power chord does quite a lot of damage."

Sona "..."

Soraka "Your fingers hurt? That is the worst excuse i have ever heard."

KogMaw "Alright, settle down there girls. We just have to be patient, these things always work themselves out."

Soraka "I for one am tired of your optimistic junk, how can you be like that?"

Gnar "Soraka, are you ok. You don't seem like yourself. Are you hungry, do you need a snickers?"

Gangplank "Ooooooh, oooooooooh."

Soraka "Ah great, now what?"

Gangplank "Guys its me, i am back from the dead as a ghost. I can phase through walls and get you out of here."

Gnar "Spooky gangplank? But wait, you aren't dead."

Gangplank "What do you mean, i'm not dead?"

Gnar "Haven't you kept up online, you survived miss fortune killing you. Now you are back, and this time its personal."

Gangplank "Oh, uh i see. Well, this is embarrassing. I uhhh, gotta go for now, be back soon." "Phases away"

Gnar "WAIT NO, TAKE US WITH YOU!!! Ah, darn it."

Soraka "GOOD JOB, CORPORATE GNAR. YOU SCARED THE SPOOKY GHOST AWAY. NOW WE ARE DOOMED! AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU HAD WIFI IN HERE!"

Fiddlesticks "I heard yelling, whats going on in here?"

KogMaw "I assure you its nothing, my good sir."

Gnar "argh, ack. he, lp."

KogMaw "Oh nevermind, it appears Soraka is strangling Corporate Gnar over there. She seems to have lost it."

Fiddlesticks "NO, DON'T HURT HIM! BACK AWAY! HE IS TOO IMPORTANT TO THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS!!!!!!!" "Unlocks Cage Door."

Sona "!!!"

Fiddlesticks "Feel, need, to, BOOGIE!!"

KogMaw "Smack! Haha, got him. But sona, did you really need to yell, DANCE WORM?"

Gnar "ahghghahgh."

KogMaw "Alright Soraka, you can drop the act now. It worked, we got him."

Soraka "Act, what act? Oh hey, the door is open and Super Fan Fiddlesticks is dead, yay."

KogMaw "He's not dead, i just smacked him on the head with my teapot."

Gnar "Cough cough." "Ok soraka, we are definitely getting you a snickers bar. Unless you don't want one, thats cool too. Just don't try to kill me again."

KogMaw "Well, if guys are ready, let us set sail out of this place. Super Fan Fiddlesticks left the door open."

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!"

Gangplank "I AM BACK, AND HERE TO RESCUE YOU GUYS."

Soraka "Little later there buddy, we got ourselves a way out."

Gangplank "Wait, really? Ahh man, i can't even save you guys. And why is there a dead guy on the ground."

Gnar "He's not dead."

Gangplank "Shame. So, since everyone i cared about is dead, i can't do anything right. And half my city is on fire, wanna go to a bar. Gragas owns it, me and him are friends and i get free drinks and a place to hide. You guys are welcome to take shelter there with me until you can go back home."

Gnar "Sure, whatever."

Later, at a bar:

Now, you may be wondering why Gragas can own a bar, but Graves can't have a cigar? Well, its simple. Gragas's bar doesn't serve alcohol. It serves brew. Which is mostly just lon lon milk. Now, it makes you act like you are drunk, but trust us. Its completely different than being drunk. (Thats how you guys at riot wanted me to say it, right?)

Gangplank "Take a seat over there, i am going to go and check out the place."

Gnar "Hey, is that Veigar?"

Veigar "Why yes, "Hiccup" its me."

Gnar "I sense something different about you. YOU'RE THE FREE ROTATION VEIGAR! The one that escaped so long ago. We had everyone out looking for you."

Previously: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

Veigar "Its hard to find anyone in Bilgewater. I escaped here, plotting my revenge on Corporate Lee Sin. Sadly though, my dfg ran out of juice. Now its just as useless as me. My whole plan revolved around it, so now i have just been here, drinking Graggy Ice."

Gnar "So, you think you might want to go back to the free rotation. A lot of players want to play you, and White Mage Veigar said he is not painting himself purple again."

Veigar "Ah, sure. Not like i have anything better to do. But i am keeping my dfg, even if it doesn't work anymore."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vribwyvnw3c QUEST COMPLETE!!!!

Gnar "Yay, if you somehow make it back fast enough, you can be free this week."

Veigar "Oh, and by the way. I talked to Final Boss Veigar. He is really upset about the the changes made to us. Even more upset than i was. He might go after Corporate Lee Sin and demand buffs. He also said something about Blitzcrank, not sure what that is about."

Gangplank "Alright guys, it will be safe here until i find a way to get you back home."

Present day:

Gangplank "Seems that its almost time for you lads to leave old Gangplank."

Gnar "Which reminds me, i have been meaning to ask. How did you get your new arm?"

Gangplank "Oh, i followed T.F. and Graves to piltover. You know, to get revenge on em. While there, i found this arm just lying around by a broken building with an X on it. Being the pirate i am, i claimed finders keepers and took it."

Meanwhile:

Jinx "Hey there fat hands, or should i say fat hand. Hahaha."

Vi "Hey, would you shut up."

Jinx "What happened, did you lose your hand. Finally punch something as hard as your head, or did you just forget where you put it?"

Vi "I didn't lose it, i just misplaced it."

Jinx "Thats the same thing honey. Oooh, the great and might Vi has lost her power fist. You should find it. its bad for your back to have all that weight on only one had. And i don't want to have to fight a cripple."

Vi "Oh just stop talking so i can punch you."

Jinx "Good luck doing anything like that."

Back at Gangplank's hideout:

Soraka "Oh yeah, and what is with the human skeleton that's been hanging on the wall. Its got some pretty cool designs carved in it, but it has been freaking me out."

Gangplank "Glad you like it, that is called Scrimshaw. That particular skeleton belongs to a docter who lied about his ability to save body parts."

Gnar "Alrighty then then, when can we leave?"

Gangplank "Well, the only way i can find is to fire you out of my cannons, and hope you hit your target. I will give you each an orange. As long as the impact doesn't kill you right away, just eat an orange and everything will be k."

KogMaw "Oh dear, i am pretty squishy. I think we can do it though, so here we go again." "Launches!"

Gangplank "I will miss that annoying little Yordle. Time to plot my revenge. Hmm, maybe turn those cannons into some sort of pirate mech. Nah, only an idiot would think of doing that. Wait a minute."

(Hey guys, thanks for reading this week. Sorry about this one being a little long. I wanted to wrap the bilgewater stuff up. And you didn't get one last week. So i think i can afford to make this one longer than normal. And since i didn't get one last week, here is a shorter one in the comments. You can read it now, or later if this one was too long for you.)
