The Juggernaut Club: Part 21

In Ionia, Jhin has been cornered by the maddened mobs of the village.

: Oh boy, this isn't looking extra-special cool.

The villagers are repeatedly chanting, "Heresy, Heresy"! as Irelia, Master Yi and Karma step forward to grab him.

: And now...

: Through blood...

: BE ATONED!

: WHOA, WHOA, FOLKS, TIME-OUT!

From somewhere above, Syndra alights down, having changed at some point into her Justicar costume. She uses her E to push back the angry crowds as Zed (With the unconscious Kayn flung over his shoulder) and the members of the Juggernaut Club force their way through to get in front, and defend Jhin from them. The mob however, starts to slowly advance.

: So, what was the plan to stop them from advancing again, Dictator?

: We went over this, Morde, it's Newbie's turn to shine!

: I thought that "New Juggernaut" we all felt back on the Shadow Isles was gonna be the Newbie!

: Once they join the Club, Yes!

: ARRGGGHHH!

Sick and tired of being called the "Newbie", Shyvana's rage allows her to turn into her draconian form. This takes aback the mob, and they stop advancing.

: It's working, Newbie! Keep it up!

: STOP CALLING ME NEWBIE!

As she shouts, she shoots her E and it collides with a tower, causing it to catch on fire. The building cracks in half, and gravity pulls it, causing it to fall in the direction of everyone!

Everyone: AHHHH!

The building falls!

CRASH!

As the dust clears, we are happy to find that none of the Juggernaut Club, or Zed's group are injured. The building has now formed a barrier between themselves and the mob, forcing the mob to try and find an alternate route.

: THE BALANCING SHALL NOT BE IMPEDED! WE SHALL FIND A NEW ROUTE!

The mob chants "Balance, Balance" over and over as they walk off to try and find another way of getting to the group.

: Oh wow, that worked! Nice job, newb-

Shyvana shoots him an angry look, still in her draconian form. Nasus quickly covers his mouth.

: So what, she's now the official "Crazy Crowd Stopper" of the Club? Like how I am "Head-General of Concussions and Idiot-Shut-Upery?"

Shyvana grasps her head in annoyed anger, thus unintentionally activating her W, creating a wall of fire that will further deter the mobs.

: DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO HAVE A STUPID AND MEANINGLESS TITLE IN THIS CLUB!?

: Hey now, I've been doing MY job!

: I can gladly attest to it!

Jhin, is completely flabbergasted. HOW did these people, as well as the Juggernaut Club, get here, and WHY are they protecting him from the mobs? Not that he disliked them DOING it, but the question nonetheless arises in his mind. He then notices something and looks around.

: Hey.

: Hmm? Oh, Hi.

Darius turns and waves at Jhin in a friendly manner.

: No, No, that's not what I meant. Where's that one guy?

: Who?

: That one dude, the one that goes on and on about Justice all the time.

Darius snaps his fingers in realization.

: Oh, you mean the former Chief-of-Staff! He was expelled from the Club.

: Why?

: He made fun of my Dreadnova skin.

Jhin stifles the laughter that arises upon hearing that.

(Between Snickers) Oh, is that all...

Darius rolls his eyes in exasperation.

: Yeah, Yeah, so it's not exactly the BEST skin for 10 Gemstones, what are we supposed to expect!?

Draven muffles some words that resemble "Finally, all of Draven's fourth-wall breaking has rubbed off on his big bro! Draven's so proud!"

Unable to hold it back any longer, Jhin bursts out into wild laughter, as do Zed and Syndra

(Gleefully): WHAT!? THAT'S WHY YOU EXPELLED HIM FROM THE CLUB!? BAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Between bouts of laughter): Y-YEAH! I'D FIGURED HE'D BROKEN SOME BIG RULE OR SOMETHING! BUT THAT'S WHY!?

Darius groans and facepalms. Trundle eagerly readies his club, hoping that Darius will call on him to knock the 3 unconscious. But then they slowly stop laughing, as Zed turns his attention to Jhin.

: Oh, ha ha ha... ahh... S-Sorry, Mr. Jhin, sir, that WASN'T the reason we came here today...

: I-It's not!? It was nice, I needed a good laugh.

: N-No sir... THIS is the reason why...

Zed suddenly drops Kayn, and comes up to Jhin with an intimidating stance. He reaches around into a pouch on his side and pulls out... an Autograph book!?

He eagerly holds up open on a blank page towards Jhin.

: Can I have your autograph!? I'm such a big fan!

Juggernaut Club members: WHAT!?

Surprised, but not off-set by this, Jhin comes up and signs Zed's autograph book.

: There you go. I made sure to make out to "Zed, Master of Shadows and my former worst enemy".

Zed closes the book and holds to to his chest excitedly.

: THANK YOU SO MUCH!

_Darius just shakes his head, and the rest of the Juggernaut Club members follow suit. _

: Are you serious!?

: THAT'S why we're doing this!?

: All that time, WASTED! When we COULD have been looking for Shen!

The shock, as well as disappointment, has allowed Shyvana to return to her normal humanoid form. She's just as displeased as the rest of them. Darius throws up his hands in exasperation.

: You know what? He points a finger at the Ionian characters You all are just as crazy as the rest of the Ionians. Alright, everyone, let's make tracks! Shen's gotta be around here SOMEWHERE.

The Juggernaut Club members nod in agreement, and they all walk away, climbing over the smashed tower-barrier on the ground as they do. Since he hadn't been called upon to knock out Zed, Syndra or Jhin, Trundle used his True-Ice club to put out the fire on the crashed tower so they could climb over it, during the laughing.

Zed is acting all giddy because he finally got Jhin's autograph. Kayn is still unconscious, much to Syndra's relief.

: If he saw Zed acting like this, he'd NEVER let him live it down.

?: Who said you would live?

and : Huh!?

They turn in the direction the voice came from, and out of the shadows steps Shen, along with Akalia and Kennen, each still dressed in their Blood-Moon costumes! Jhin points in the direction the Club went.

: Umm, can we go get the Juggernaut Club people back? While there ARE 4 of us here, and that's perfection, one is unconscious, so...

Shen looks in the direction Jhin pointed, then turns his attention back to them.

: They will also be "balanced", but you first, since we've found you first.

: Yeah... sorry. Not today, Mcdorkle!

Zed snaps his fingers, and darkness envelops him, Syndra, Kayn and Jhin, allowing them to escape!

: NO! SO CLOSE!

Shen steps forward to search, but they're gone.

: Rrgghhh... Never mind. They aren't the ones that caused the invasion anyways. We need to hunt that "Juggernaut Club" the Golden Demon was talking about!

Akali and Kennen, though disappointed that they can't kill Zed, nonetheless nod in agreement.

: What about the mobs?

: They have their part to play in our hunt...

: Oh Goodie...

The three rub their hands as they chuckle evilly.
