"Great! They didn't ban her!" Said one of the summoners while smiling, "don't they know Fiora is really OP in this mode? Either way, I'll finally get to try out my Royal Guard skin (260 RP)"
It wasn't his first time playing ascension, but it seemed it was his teammates'. Their picks were less than stellar, no matter what he had told them earlier. All he could do now is hope that his Fiora pick would turn the tides of battle.
The match began, and two members of each team immediately disconnected (cause, you know, plot-no-jutsu). It would be a 3v3, that was fine by him.
"You two go up, I'll go down."
Each one used their trinkets to teleport to their respective portal thingy.
"How do I use this?" asked Karthus (395 RP).
"Just press 4!!!" Yelled Fiora as she ran as fast as she could to capture the first shrine.
The enemy Renekton, however, was already there. Wearing his full pool party outfit (487 RP).
Fiora lunged at him, slashing as quickly as she could. Renekton didn't rely on auto-attacks, so her riposte wouldn't really help her out. After a while, though, Renekton just ran away.
Fiora was injured, but now she was able to capture the shrine.
She then headed north, wondering how her teammates were doing.
It seemed that Karthus had managed to figure out how the trinket works, since now him and Syndra (487 RP) were capturing one of the shrines. She could only hope that the enemies' picks were as bad as these.
That's when she saw a sapling falling on top of them.
"Oh no..." She said, "RUN!"
They didn't listen on time, however, since the sapling exploded on both of them, interrupting their channel.
And that's when Maokai came out of the bushes in his cloud form and crashed into Syndra.
Fiora lunged at him, and that's when she saw a pillar of red energy appearing on top of her and her teammates.
"Another Karthus?" She thought, "is he on free week or something?"
Yes, he is.
The Requiem struck the three of them (and the two afks), Syndra died, Karthus and Fiora fell on the ground, injured.
Maokai then ghosted away from them.
Fiora could see the three enemies fighting the giant Xerath in the middle. The enemy Karthus was actually Pentakill Karthus (375 RP), no wonder his Requiem had been so well timed.
She then understood what they were doing, why they had let them live.
If one of them ascended, they could one shot them and get two points for each kill instead of one.
"I have... to stop them..." She said, standing up.
If she couldn't stop them, then at least she would die trying.
Fiora lifted her sword.
"EN GUARDE!!!"
The enemies didn't notice it until it was too late, flashes of light went off all around them, as Fiora danced her deadly blade waltz on the three of them.
But it wasn't enough.
The three of them lived. And now they were all ready to attack her.
That is, until a pillar of red light appeared on top of them.
"TRIPLE KILL!" Said the announcer.
Xerath was already quite injured, so Fiora finished him off in a couple of attacks.
She felt a river of pure energy overflowing her. She felt stronger, much stronger.
Maybe this match wouldn't be that bad after all.
As Fiora grew larger, however, she heard the announcer's voice:
"A summoner has reconnected!"
"A summoner has reconnected!"
"A summoner has reconnected!"
"A summoner has reconnected!"
