The Juggernaut Club: Part 32

In the Freljord, in Ornn's cave, Olaf is now lying on the ground, comically beaten-up and out cold. Everyone (With the exceptions of Volibear, Shyvana and Udyr, whose weapons are their bare hands) is happily reunited with their respective weapon.

: This staff or axe or, whatever it is, it is MINE, Olaf! Do you understand that!?

: MY Shovel! I didn't see YOU go through years of grueling monk-hood training to get one!

: The pain you feel is the recompense for your sacrilege.

: I'm honestly surprised your hand didn't freeze when you grabbed Boneshiver. It IS made of True Ice, after all.

: This MUNDO'S cleaver! You not doctor, no license to practice! So NO Cleaver for Olaf!

: Try a stunt like this again, Olaf, and I'll repay you, in SPADES!

: No you won't. He ain't getting his hand on another Shovel or spade ever again!

: I didn't mean THAT kind of spade!

: Whatever. Now that Olaf's out of the club, let's start heading back to Noxus. Unless Volibear needs some more time to settle his deals with this "Brother" of his.

: Come to think of it, where IS Volibear? And Udyr?

Everyone starts looking around for the two, not knowing that Draven has also vanished. They eventually find Volibear and Udyr, they having taken over the pounding of Sejuani from Ornn.

: Oh, THERE you guys are!

: Hey, look! We TOLD you we could handle her!

The two of them step back and proudly present a beaten-up Sejuani, along with a maimed Bristle. Ornn was simply watching with a smile.

: Good to see ya again, bro! He points to the exit, retaking his normal grumpy look Now get out.

: What? That's it? You bear-hug a guy out of the blue and then tell him to hit the road?

_ Volibear mimes the motions as he says them. Ornn puts his hands on his hips._

: Hey, I got work to do!

: What, you're gonna do Her Gestures to Sejuani work-order after all, or something?

: Heck no, I just commissioned for a ton of statues!

He starts acting giddy, like he wants to get to work.

: By whom?

: That guy!

Ornn points, and everyone looks. It's Draven, who has been eyeing and studying the Volibear "Mannequins" ever since the Club members started pounding Olaf and Sejuani.

: Draven needs statues made in HIS image for... reasons.

Darius facepalms. He then comes up and grabs Draven by the shirt-collar and starts dragging him towards the cave exit, followed closely by the other Club members.

: We're taking you home, and that's that!

: Wait, wait! Arrghh.. Fine. He looks at Ornn I'll send you a check in the mail!

: What's the "Mail"? Oh, you also want a suit of armor made? Sure!

: No! That's not what Draven means at ALL!

But Darius drags Draven out of the cave, and they head off into the cold, followed by the other club members.

: Hey, did anyone remember to "procure" some supplies from him?

Shyvana raises her hand.

: Since you all had the physical involvements covered, I figured I'd take a look around. Found a few things.

: Good Work, Newbie!

Shyvana tenses up again upon hearing "Newbie", but lets out a breath and lets it slide.

(Talking to herself): It's OK, Shyv, it's ok. Once that "New Juggernaut" shows up, if they ever do, you WON'T be called that anymore...

Trundle, having heard her, laughs.

: Yeah, then we'll have to call you 'Crazy Crowd Stopper'!

Shyvana tenses right back up again as she gives Trundle the evil eye. Darius then motions him, Udyr and Volibear to go to the head of the group, so as to lead the rest of them through, since they are the ones that know this region best.

Even WITH the things they "procured" from Ornn, it's still a tough time making their way through. After some time of trudging through the perpetual snowstorms of the Freljord, everyone sees faint light somewhere up ahead.

: What's that?

: Hey, can you or Voli see what it is? Since you guys know this area, your eyes probably have adjusted to not seeing all that well, so-

: Hey, wait a minute, hold it, Shut up. I need to focus to see what it is.

Both he and Trundle squint as they try to make out whatever it is that's creating this seeming light.

: It looks like... a sign of some kind?

: As in, a notice that is publicly displayed giving information or instructions in a written or symbolic form? Or a miracle regarded as evidence of supernatural power? Cause a visit from Anivia's NOT what we need right now.

: We're thinking it's the former, not the latter.

: Can't make out the letters yet though; gonna need to try and get closer!

Everyone trudges through the snow some more, in the assumed direction the light is coming from. Eventually, the storm lets up enough for them to see a bit better, and it becomes clearer. It IS a sign, in front of a fenced-off ranch or farm of some kind. Flanked by torches (Thus explaining the light they saw), the sign reads "Braum's Poro Petting Emporium"!

As the group approaches, suddenly a Yeti bursts up out of the snowy ground in front of them! It's Nunu and his Yeti, both of them dressed in custom-sized Poro Costumes!

: Welcome to "Braum's Poro Petting Emporium", where you don't just pet 'em, you adore 'em!

The Club members tilt their heads in confusion.

Everyone: Huh?
