The Juggernaut Club: Part 52

Swain and Vlad are standing at the edge of Noxus' city limits, and Swain holds up the Z-Drive in triumph.

Nothing seems to happen.

: Uuh, Swain? You sure you're using that thing right?

: How am I supposed to know!? I'm not Ekko!

: Well, I'm just saying that-

However, the device seems to hum to life!

: Ah, there we go!

It floats up out of Swain's hand, slowly into the air. It starts to spin wildly!

: RESTORE MY NOXUS!

The Z-Drive starts to shine brilliantly, and then flashes a bright white light!

: Hn!

: Geh!

The light soon fades. Once Swain and Vlad can open their eyes again, they see that Noxus...

: What?

: Uh...?

...Hasn't changed one bit! It's still just as ruined as it was before. The two look in shock at the Z-Drive, which now falls to the ground.

: What's the matter with this stupid thing!?

Swain picks it up and starts to smack it and fiddle around with it, to try and get a reaction out of it.

: Uhh, Swain, I'd be careful if I were you-

: WELL, YOU'RE NOT ME!

: Just saying, remember what happened to Urgot and Sion?

: SHUT UP!

He starts to fiddle more forcibly with the device in frustration. Eventually, it starts to whir up again.

: OK, let's try this AGAIN.

But now it starts to spin out of control!

: SEE!? I TOLD YOU!

Vlad quickly uses his W, sinking into the ground to avoid the presumed upcoming explosion or time-altering power of the once-again malfunctioning Z-Drive.

: Ohh.... SHIII-

Poof!

Vlad lightly pokes his head out of the pool, seeing what's become of his Grand General.

: Swain? What's happened to you now-Huh?

Much to his surprise, Swain hasn't been altered, he's just got... a face full of confetti?

: Coughs

Swain stares at the opened, and now obviously FAKE Z-Drive with a dry expression on his face. Inside is a slip of paper with a poorly-drawn picture of Ekko sticking out his tongue, and it also has written on it, "Gotcha!"

: RRRGGGGGHHHH!

Swain angrily takes his Raven form, and throws the fake item on the ground, and stomps it to pieces in his rage.

Once that is done, Vlad slowly emerges from his Sanguine Pool and tip-toes over to Swain, who has returned to human form and is breathing heavily and angrily. He bats away Vlad's attempt to put a sympthetic hand on his shoulder, and stands up, and walks off towards the city.

: Where are you going?

: TO RIVEN'S BUNNY BAR! I NEED A DRINK TO DROWN MY SORROWS!

Vlad shrugs his shoulders, and follows his leader, from a safe distance, in case he's still angry.

Back at the Juggernaut Clubhouse (Sion's Monument), Garen is angrily sitting in his (Former) chair as the Chief-of-Staff at the big circular table. His arms are folded and a frustrated frown is on his face.

: Sheesh. I finally make it back to this blasted clubhouse, and they aren't even HERE. The story of my glorious adventures, my beating the snot out of Xin AND Teemo, even pacifying the rage of TWO Ascended AT THE SAME TIME, and all that other stuff. And all I have to tell it to, IS AN EMPTY CLUBHOUSE!

He slams his fists on the table, making it rumble! As he does, he notices something that wasn't there before.

: What's this?

He stands up, and at Darius' seat, there is a jack-in-the-box.

As he picks it up, he is suddenly struck from behind, knocking him down to the ground!

: OOF!

Pinned to the ground by this unknown assailant, Garen attempts to turn as best he can to see who it is. It's Talon!

: Who DARES to infiltrate the meetinghouse of the Obliterator's Order?

Garen sighs exasperatedly.

: Obliterator's Order? You're really running out of name ideas, aren't you Talon?

Talon's face angrily scrunches up, and he holds his blade dangerously close to Garen's neck.

: Our numbers may be few...

As he speaks this, from the shadows emerge Nocturne, Shaco and Fizz.

: But if we catch the rest of you Juggernauts off-guard, then we will surely win and drive you out, one-by-one.

: Uh-huh, sure.

Talon looks at the others.

: Lock him up in the basement.

The others salute him, and grab Garen menacingly and start dragging him towards a cellar door and open it.

Talon smugly sits in Darius' chair as Shaco and Nocturne start to take Garen down into the basement.

: We'll continue to wait until the rest of that detested "Club" arrives. Once the rest of OUR members come along, it will be child's play.

To Be Continued...
