#A Corporate Matter Episode: Nuh uh, I ain't dying like this. I'm going to my bunker. You guys think of an episode title.

Janna "This is forecast janna reporting in, we interrupt your regularly scheduled story to bring you breaking news. It appears that Yorick Mori has been made free this week. We do not know what happened but are deeply afraid."

Gnar "RED ALERT, RED ALERT! I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON. SAY GOODBYE TO THIS CRUEL WORLD! ALL IS GOING TO END!"

Soraka "WHAT HAPPENED? DID SOMEONE FEED AURELION SOL? IS THAT METEOR FINALLY HERE. DID YOU STUB YOUR TOE?"

Gnar "I ACCIDENTLY MADE YORICK FREE! I DIDN'T MEAN TO HIT THE BUTTON, BUT I DID!"

Soraka "HOW COULD YOU HAVE D- Wait a minute, that's not so bad."

Gnar "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THAT'S NOT SO BAD! THE PROPHETS FORETOLD THAT IF HIS KIT WAS EVER MADE FREE TO ALL, THE WORLD WOULD IMPLODE! Or something like that."

Soraka "But they reworked him."

Gnar "They did? Oh yeah, they did. How come no one plays him still?"

Soraka "He must have upset some witch or something and got a curse placed on him. I don't know. But he should be safe now."

Gnar "Alright, but just in case. GUARD DOG WARWICK, GET READY!"

Warwick "Get ready for what?"

Gnar "I don't know, an endless zombie army, fire raining from the sky. The world breaking in two. We are all going to hide under my desk until I know it's safe outside."

A few hours later:

Soraka "Can we leave now?"

Gnar "That would be just what he would expect. No, we are staying under here."

Warwick "It's kinda cozy really."

A few more hours later:

Gnar "I guess he isn't ending the world or coming for me. So it should be safe to leave."

Warwick "Zzzzzzz."

Soraka "I can't move, I'm so stiff. I don't have a little frame like yours."

Yorick "Boooo."

Gnar "AAAAAAYAAHHHHHH! I'm sorry for how I treated you, please don't kill me and end the world. If the world ends I don't get paid anymore."

Yorick "I'm not going to do any of that. I just wanted to thank you for getting over your zombie racism and finally letting me be free."

Gnar "You're not going to do horrible things like I always thought?"

Yorick "Nope, maybe the old me. But the new me is a peaceful monk who just loves death. As long as you aren't stopping anyone from dying, we don't have a problem."

Gnar "Oh, you're welcome then."

Warwick "Huh, what? YORICK? I WON'T LET YOU KILL CORPORATE GNAR. DIE ZOMBIE DIE!"

Yorick "WAIT NO, I COME IN PEACE!"

Warwick "RAWRHRHEHAHRTH!" "Mauls Yorick and they both fall out window."

Soraka "Oh dear, what should we do?"

Gnar "Eh, I'm sure they will sort it out. BACK TO WORK!"

Who's that guy next to Ezreal and Janna and above Morgana? I don't think I've ever heard of this Ga-li-o creature. Is this a simple bug or is this a hint for the new Ryze rework?
