The Juggernaut Club: Part 18
In Shurima, in that field somewhere outside the village, Lux is finishing her pounding of Aurelion Sol. After a few final smacks for good measure, Lux stands over Aurelion Sol, breathing heavily.
: HAD ENOUGH!? Huffs and Puffs HUH!?
Aurelion Sol, of course, is out cold, so he can't respond. His tail just twitches once, instead. Lux takes that as a Yes, nodding her head angrily.
: GOOD!
She then turns and walks back towards the village. There, she sees Leona dragging away a comically-beaten up Taric, with a now conscious and fully dressed back in his Baker Attire Pantheon. Diana is with them, but she sees Lux and they don't as they drag him towards what is assumed to be Pantheon's house. Diana waves.
: Heya, Luxy!
(Out of breath): Hi... is my big bro still here?
: Nope! You just missed him, he's on his way to Shurima right now!
: OH COME ON! (Under her breath) Now I know how Kat must have felt...
Nonetheless, she's determined to be reunited with him, so she begins going down the path towards Shurima.
In Noxus, the following things have taken place:
Caitlyn went running after Vi in an effort to stop her from doing any MORE structural damage in her chase after Jinx, and Jayce is standing with Vladimir and Swain.
The rocket that Jayce smacked with his Hammer has now crashed into Sion's Monument, resulting in the roof caving in. A loud and annoyed roar erupts from within, and momentarily later, Sion emerges from the rubble.
: ALRIGHT! WHO HAS THE BALLS TO DAMAGE MY MONUMENT!? AND THE JUGGERNAUT CLUB'S CLUBHOUSE! DON'T YOU KNOW DARIUS MAKES ME DO THE REPAIRS!?
_ Jinx, having fallen off Urgot's back at some point and having been caught by Vi, is about to have her face punched in from one of Vi's huge gloves, she hears Sion's words and excitedly waves her hands._
: Ooh! Me, me! I fired it! Buuut.... In regards to who sent it FLYING your way...
Jayce looks at her and puts up his hands to try and motion her not to say anymore. Jinx points at Jayce.
: JAYCE DID IT!
: GAAHH! YOU SNITCH!
He transforms his Hammer into it's cannon form, and begins charging up a powerful blast. Sion begins loudly stepping towards them. Presuming he's going to do his typical "Unstoppable Juggernaut" charge, Vladimir and Swain quickly get out of the way.
: If you guys want to live, I suggest you MOVE NOW!
: Huh?
Everyone turns, and Sion is charging towards them. But then, Urgot steps in front of them to get in his way.
: BEHOLD, SION! MY NEW AND IMPROVED STATE!
: What the!? I...Is that you, Urgot?
Seeing this was unexpected, and it surprisingly calms down Sion, who slows his charge and stops. He stares in silence for a moment.
: Yes, it's really me, Urgot, breathe it in!
: Whoa...
Curious, Sion comes up and starts inspecting Urgot's "New and Improved" state. He points at his six legs.
: Are those... shotgun legs?
: HECK YES THEY ARE! WATCH THIS!
: NOnonononono-
Urgot turns and fires one of his legs, damaging Swain's "headquarters" even more that Sion's crash from before.
This causes Swain to break into a new bout of crying.
Sion silently mouths "Wow!". He then sees the incision in Urgot's "stomach".
: And what's that? He points at the incision
: Oh, you're gonna LOVE this!
Urgot fires his Ult, and the direction it's aimed is in the direction of the Hospital where Katarina is, and it crashes through the wall. But... instead of grabbing Kat, it grabs... Cassiopeia?
: WHAT IN THE-
: Not what I was aiming for, but I'll take it!
Urgot begins turning a crank on his right-hand side, which pulls Cass closer and closer, and as it does, the "stomach" opens to reveal a very deadly-looking grinder!
: YAAH! I AM NOT GONNA BE MADE INTO SNAKE SAUSAGE! SOMEBODY HELP!
Almost in response to her cries, out of the shadows comes Talon! He leaps over a pile of rubble and slashes the chains with his blades! Cass is freed to live another day!
: Phew! Thanks, Talon! Say, where were you when-
However, Talon doesn't say a word, and simply leaps over another pile of rubble, disappearing into the city. Sion is in awe from all the new toys and gadgets Urgot has, thanks to his "upgrades". Jayce, having forgotten that he was still charging up a blast with his cannon, lets it go and it fires, barely missing Cait, Vi and Jinx and crashing into a random building, leaving a huge hole.
: WHOA! Watch where you're aiming those things!
: YAY! MORE CHAOS AND HAVOC!
: Shut up you little-
: I GOTTA BE PART OF THIS!
Jinx breaks free of Vi's grasp, and runs back into the city, Vi grumbles in anger, before running after her in fast pursuit.
: Not again! Come on, Cupcake!
: Don't call me that!
Caitlyn nonetheless runs after Vi.
in Shurima, Garen had been turning to face the unknown female greeting him. It's Sivir.
: What's going on, Justice M-
However, Garen quickly comes up and covers her mouth with his hand.
: DON'T SAY IT. I HAVE A NAME. IT'S GAREN.
Sivir holds up her hands defensively before Garen removes his hand from her mouth.
: Ooh, touchy, touchy. Did we get dumped by a certain "Pussy-Kat" who shall remain unnamed?
We get a brief look in the hospital in Noxus. Katarina (Who had regained consciousness by this point, but was still in her body-cast) almost as though she heard Sivir, mumbles something in anger while her eyes twitch. We then cut back to Shurima.
: No, for the last time, I have NOT been dumped by Kat!
: No need to be in denial over it, it happens!
: Angry Muttering
: Anyway's what's-
: GIVE YOURSELF TO SHURIMA!
: Arrgh, Not Now, gramps!
Azir dashes between the two, and takes a triumphant pose.
: Have you come to give yourself to Shurima, Demacian?
: No, I'm just passing through to Noxus.
: You need not go to that horrible place! Shurima has ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED!
As he says this, he points, and Garen looks. The "Shurima" Azir is pointing to is a poorly-made sand castle, with a flat rock acting as the "Sun-Disc". Sivir is shaking her head.
Garen looks at Sivir, who is now just frowning in exasperation. He then turns to Azir with an unimpressed look on his face.
: Of course, this is just the model, the REAL city will be MUCH more impressive!
: WHO NEEDS A CITY WHEN YOU'RE A GOD!?
: Xerath!
Everyone turns, and floating a small distance away, is Xerath.
: I spit on your model city, that is, if I could still spit. I laugh at your city, Ha ha ha! I will destroy it, behold, my power!
He floats up and "kicks" over the sand-castle with the "Limbs" of his energetic form that most resemble legs. Azir draws in a sharp breath.
: YOU DARE TO KNOCK OVER MY CITY!?
Xerath takes, as near as one can tell, a mocking "expression" on his "face", and makes a noise resembling blowing a raspberry with his tongue.
: Neener-neener-neener!
The two face off, and Garen sighs.
: I'm gonna get caught up in ANOTHER mess, aren't I?
Sivir simply nods her head yes as the two charge at one another.
Meanwhile, Leblanc is still traveling, but getting closer to Noxus. But then, a quake shakes the area.
: OK... that's not a good sound...
Then, in front of her, Rek'Sai bursts out of the ground, and roars at her.
: Oh lovely.
Too beat up to defend herself, she just watches as the beast seems to be getting ready to barrel down on her. But then...
: Whoa, Rekky, Whoa!
: What?
Leblanc turns, and Malzahar is floating up to Rek'Sai, holding his hands up similarly to Chris Pratt's character from Jurassic World.
: We don't go attacking people out of the blue like that, then they won't want to join up!
: Join up? What the crap are you talking about?
However, Malzahar isn't paying attention to Leblanc, he's trying to calm Rek'Sai. Eventually, he gets her to calm down, and then turns to her.
: So, the Deceiver is out and about out of the old homestead, eh?
: Umm, yeah.
: So, are you busy?
: Well, I WAS on my way back home from my "vacation".
: Ooh, you're on vacation, then this'll only take a second! Voidlings, form up!
A number of Voidlings spawn, and they grab a rolled up piece of paper from Malzahar's bag. They then unfurl it to reveal it says...
JOIN THE VOID FAN-CLUB TODAY!
: Join the Void... fan-club?
: Yeah! We're a group of fellows looking forward to the arrival of the Void and the ruination of all that exists through it!
: Everyone's trying to get a piece of the 'Fan-Club' pie ever since Darius did his thing, aren't they?
: I know how you like to trick people, and I just LOOOVE tricking people, especially into sending themselves and/or their loved ones to the Void! So you'd be a PERFECT fit for our club! Latch on, Rekky!
Rek'Sai roars happily, and grabs Leblanc by her cape.
: HEY! I DIDN'T AGREE TO THIS!
But, Rek'Sai dives underground, and drags Leblanc along with her, and she zooms off through the sands in some unknown direction, quickly followed by Malzahar.
