The Juggernaut Club: Part 19

In Ionia, Jhin is running like a madman from a group of maddened Ionians.

: HOLY PERFECTION YOU PEOPLE ARE TOUCHY! ALL I DID WAS PICK A FLOWER!

At the forefront of the group is Karma, Master Yi and Irelia.

: He has disturbed the balance!

: He has ruined the tranquility!

: He picked a flower from MY flower arrangements! That was to be the winning entry in the contest! He must NOT leave here alive!

: DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW MUCH YOUR OWN WORDS ARE GOING AGAINST YOUR SO-CALLED "HARMONY"!?

: Those who break the oath of "Balance" are heretics, worthy of neither pity, nor mercy!

and and the crowd: WE SHALL GRIND THEM INTO DUST!

: AND PEOPLE SAY I'M THE CRAZY ONE!

He continues to run, with the crowd not too far behind him.

In Noxus, the city is now in ruins, comparable to the state of Demacia last we saw it. Vi and Caitlyn are walking back towards the remains of Swain's headquarters, with an unconscious Jinx flung over Vi's shoulder.

Sitting on some rubble as he sobs into his hands, is Swain. Sitting next to him, rubbing his hand of Swain's back in compassion, is Vladimir. However, Jayce isn't with them.

: Where's Jayce?

Vladimir points, and she and Vi look. Sion and Urgot are now running through the rubble of the city, throwing Jayce back and forth like they are playing Football.

: Catch, Sion!

Urgot stuffs Jayce inside his arm-cannon, and fires him! Sion jumps up and catches him.

: Yeah!

: Alright!

In jubilation, Urgot slaps one of his "knees". This causes the shotgun-components to fire, blasting Sion in his right leg!

: OOOWW!

: Oh shoot! I'm sorry, buddy-old-pal-old-friend!

This causes Sion to double over onto his knees, and drop Jayce. Thankfully, he wasn't too far from the ground, so Jayce isn't hurt TOO bad by the collision with the ground when he dropped him.

Back in Ionia again, the Juggernaut Club is seen leaving Zed's temple-base with Zed, Syndra and Kayn.

: So, Dictator, why'd we agree to help them again?

: Because now, if we DON'T get things calmed down, all Shen and his fellow ninja-doctors are going to want us to do is die on the operating table. That is, as they rip us apart because of their declaration of war.

Trundle gives Darius a hearty slap on the back.

: See? That's why Darius is the one in charge! He has the sense to think things through!

Darius rubs a hand on the back of his head in embarrassment, rather out of character for him.

: Well, I don't mean to boast, but... In terms of brain-power I AM the one in greater strength in our family...

Draven muffles some words that sound similar to "I beg to differ!" or, more appropriately, "Draven begs to differ!"

: This is no time for you to get a big head! We've gotta find Jhin!

: So where should we look first, Zeddy-baby?

: We should-

Kayn suddenly jumps in front of him, waving his hand wildly to get Zed's attention

: Ooh, I know, I know! Let's go terrorize some Vastayans for information!

Rhaast: I don't think they'd know anything, Kayn.

Ignoring Kayn and Rhaast, Zed tries to resume what he was saying.

: We should probably-

But Kayn interjects once again

: Oh, oh! Or what about hunting that Yasuo guy for the money-reward!?

Rhaast: Last I knew, he was in some desert helping a dumb girl who throws rocks for a living...

Zed continues to ignore Kayn, but he's losing his patience

: I SAID, we should probably-

But, for a third time, Kayn interrupts.

: No, no, I've got an even BETTER IDEA! Let's go harass that Blind Monk and mess up his echolocation with Tin-foil!

Rhaast: Now THAT sounds like fun!

: ARRGGHHH!

Zed turns and grabs Kayn, wringing him by the neck.

: GLURCK!

: WOULD... YOU... PLEASE... SHUT... UP!

Darius looks at Trundle and nods. Trundle nods in response. As Zed continues to wring Kayn's neck, Trundle comes up from behind and smacks Kayn on the back of the head with his club, knocking him out again. Zed drops him on the ground.

: THANK YOU!

: No problem! That's what the Dictator keeps me around for, to help shut up idiots!

They then hear what sounds like the roar of a crowd, coming from a nearby village. Zed wipes his brow, despite still wearing his full face mask.

: Oh, phew! Looks like the mad mobs have found him for us! To that village!

To Be Continued...
