The Juggernaut Club: Part 25

EbonyBladeJ88··3 votes·815 views

In some frozen field of the Freljord, Draven, and the members of the Juggernaut Club emerge from Bard's E portal. They look dazed and confused, like they were coming off from a drug-trip.

Darius : O-Ok... di-did anyone ELSE see the WACKY things I did?

Yorick : You mean the Giraffe that was playing mini-golf with the Giant Clam?

Mordekaiser : No, no, he's probably talking about the Walrus that kept trying to sell me Life Insurance.

Shyvana : You're BOTH wrong. It has to be the talking Flower that was sipping coffee with some tiny Devil that looked strangely familiar...

Olaf : No, I saw a Horny-Toad that used Dandelions for self-defense!

Illaoi : Did anyone else get to meet the Tyrannosaurus Rex that was AMAZING at croquet?

Trundle : It wasn't a Tyrannosaur, it was a Bipedal Lizard!

Udyr : But what about the disembodied Eagle Head that kept quoting the professors of Zaun?

Draven : Draven saw a giant Draven bobblehead!

Volibear : No-one cares what YOU saw, Draven. Anyways, I saw Sejuani's pet boar tap-dancing with Nidalee in her Cougar form!

DrMundo : Mundo saw Viktor having a garage-sale with his failed inventions!

Darius : I saw that too! Wasn't Blitzcrank his assistant?

DrMundo : No, Mundo saw Zac!

The others pipe up with who they "saw" as Viktor's assistant in this garage sale, resulting in an argument amongst themselves. Finally, Darius raises his hands.

Darius : THAT'S ENOUGH, THAT'S ENOUGH! We need to figure out where we are now!

Everyone looks around. It's the frozen wastes of the Freljord.

Volibear : Oh Goodie! Me, Olaf, Trundle and Udyr know our way around here, let us take the lead, Dictator! Yorick and Morde had their turn, so how about us now?

Darius : Fine by me. At least we're back on the mainland, so we can walk back to Noxus and take Draven home.

Draven : Aww... but Draven's been having so much Fun!

Darius : Exactly. Structural damage? Devolving a nation into anarchy? Nearly getting your soul stolen by Tahm Kench back on the Shadow Isles? It is WAY past your bedtime, young Noxian.

Draven : No fun...

Everyone then sees two figures approaching them. Due to the snow, it's hard to tell who they are. But eventually they get close enough. It's Tryndamere and Ashe, who's hugging Trynd's arm to herself as they walk!

Ashe points a finger at the group.

Ashe : Look honey! It's the Juggernaut Club! Ooh! And Draven!

Tryndamere (In a dull, monotone voice): Hurrah...

Ashe : Hello, Juggernaut Club!

Tryndamere : Salutations...

The club members wave at them, but are confused by Tryndamere's seeming lack of gusto.

Olaf : Hey Ashe, what's with Trynd?

Ashe : Oh, him? It's a new kind of pill I've got him on.

Everyone: Pill?

Ashe holds up a bottle, which has written on it, "Emotional Balancing Pills by Dr. Shen", showing an image of Surgeon Shen giving a thumbs up and the following saying: "If you aren't balanced by these pills, you can TAKE IT UP WITH ME!"

Tryndamere : They help me keep a "level head". You should try them too...

Ashe : You sure should! Maybe then Noxus would actually have halfway-decent relations with its fellow nations!

Darius : NO THANK YOU!

Ashe : Suit yourselves! Also, Ornn is looking for you, Volibear.

Volibear : Me? What the crap would a solitude-loving blacksmith want with me?

Ashe shrugs her shoulders.

Ashe : I dunno! Welcome to the Freljord anyway, Juggernaut Club! And one more thing...

Everyone: Hmm?

Ashe : Sejuani's... kind of... on the warpath, so be on the lookout!

Olaf : Ah, I can handle her!

Volibear : So can I!

Udyr : Me three!

Ashe : Have fun with her~

Tryndamere : Indeed...

Darius : So, where should we head first, you guys?

Olaf : Hmm...

Volibear : Well, to make it across the Freljord, we're gonna need some supplies...

Darius : We have no money, remember?

Volibear, Udyr and Olaf put their hands to their chins as they try to remember what happened to the gold.

Udyr : Oh yeah!

Trundle : Graves and Twisted Fate stole it from us.

Darius : Well then, why don't we find out what this Ornn guy wants with you? Maybe we can "procure" some supplies from HIM.

Volibear : Capital idea, Dictator! Let's follow Ashe and get directions to where he's located then!

Ashe and Tryndamere walk off, followed by the Club and Draven, towards some village in the distance.

To Be Continued...

We're up to 25 of 'em now!

Congratulations to the 25. Episode! (Btw, when will that disgrace Olaf get kicked out of the club? He betrayed them, he is a diver now!) [sg-syndra]

Technically speaking, he won't. He was a Juggernaut at the time I started writing, so I'll probably keep him a member until the end of the series.

(I think it's silly, TBH. He lacks the mobility of the other Divers, so WHY is he NOW considered one all of the sudden? He's not scheduled for a VGU as far as I know, or any other Gameplay changes ala the New Xin or any others, so... just, WHY? Just keep him as a Juggernaut, for Pete's Sake. HE IS ONE!)

I think that they put him into diver now because he shares a really important trait with them: He is able to reliably reach the back line. Yes, he still has to walk up to them, but with movement speed that is managable and he can't get CCed during ult. As long as you can't create terrain to stop him, there is no way to prevent him reaching your carries, except killing him before he does.

I know that this reliable target access is tied to his ultimate, but it's not different for Vi. If Vi wants to get to the ADC, she usually has to rely on her ultimate, since her Q can get bodyblocked by the front line.

The only other juggernaut with that ability is Shyvana and she got discussed to be a diver too. However, after her initial dash, she can get CCed and kited just like any other juggernaut. Meanwhile Olaf can keep going for several seconds before you are able to stop him. Olaf plays like a diver, his main goal is going straight for the carry and try to kill them, hoping that he survives in the process. Other juggernauts usually attack what is in front of them, but they got at least the damage potential to do so.

Now I want to clarify that "Probably" is not a guarantee. I COULD write things to where Olaf "betrays" the Club when Sejuani makes her appearance (Since, at least according to OLD lore, he's aligned with her in the 3-way Civil War in the Freljord.) but all I can say right now is... We'll see. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Gotta love when Sejuani makes her appearance. She is my favourite Freljord queen.

Ayy 25 already <3 Congrats Ebony!

Yep, magical journey indeed apparently. Pilled Tryn is hilarious though; as is the Ashe barnacle on his arm. The Shen pic was the icing.

I love the Freljord. I was so happy when Ornn came out because that meant more Freljord stories :P

Olaf : Ah, I can handle her!

Volibear : So can I!

Udyr : Me three!

Yeah, they're right. Probably do need all three of them [sg-lulu]

I'm glad to see you got the joke about the "Magical" nature of the Journey that Bard sends people on.

If you want to get technical about it, FOUR (Since the Head-General of Concussions and Idiot-Shut-Uppery, or Trundle is also from the Freljord) are available to "put her on ice" (Oh ho, ho ho, I'm so doggone PUNNY).

As stated by SatomiKun here, Olaf MIGHT be getting kicked out of the Club in future parts, considering that according to the new Subclass lists, he's NOT a Juggernaut anymore. (Spoilers? Really? You must be getting soft, Ebony)

Course, that could be good news for our resident Justice-Man, or the FUrgotten One.

Oh, you're punny alright... they'll need all the help they can get.

You reminded me of the plentakill Sej song with this^ That was so long ago... hmm.

I mean, I think they settled on hybrid but until he gets his rework turn we don't know. Kinda strange to have a champ's kiteability status dependent on ult or not missing axe though. At least Skarner evaded getting turned into a full juggernaut; my brother almost lost his favourite racecar. Idk if Olaf will stay hybrid, but you guys are probably right.

lol. As I was reading that sentence I pictured something mildly disturbing :/ Due to J4's mischief, I saw Olaf transferring the fUrgotten one his membership à la creation of Adam style. (fUrgotten one was clothed ofc; I haven't gone completely off the deep end).

I thought it was silly, but, them's the breaks. We'll only see who is next on the Rework list with the next Champion Roadmap, and (The following is the future according to Ebony, take with a grain of salt) we probably won't see another Roadmap until at least one, if not both of the announced reworks (Swain & Irelia ) are out.

Was gonna say, the fUrgotten one may be majestic, but that's taking it a BIT too far, aren't we?

Yep, you're probably on the dot with that too. Maybe Swain will land in AP Juggernauts post rework :P Obviously Mord's turn will result in a dash-heavy bouncing assassin.

[sg-ahri-1] It's J4's fault, honest. I just remembered the Olafesque beard from art class and my head ran with it...

Not to worry. My "Narration" will put our dear Princeling in his place. [darius-angry]

EbonyBladeJ882 votes

J4 is shaking with fear as Ebony taps his chin to think of what "Narration" tortures he should subject him to.

Ebony then snaps his fingers.

OK... to start off, J4 is hearing Teemo's laugh, INCESSANTLY.

J4 grabs his ears all of the sudden.

JarvanIV : AAHHH! NO! NOT THAT WICKED DEMON'S CACKLE!

Oh, that's just the BEGINNING, Jarvy. It's gonna get MUCH WORSE... J4 now-

WE REGRET TO INFORM OUR VIEWERS THAT THE FOLLOWING EVENTS CANNOT BE SHOWN, FOR THEY ARE TOO HORRIFIC TO DESCRIBE.

Ebony pokes his head out from behind the screen as J4 screams in horror and pain.

Just use your imagination.

He smiles evilly and then goes back behind the screen.

Later, Ebony is seen in his office, holding the Future Manuscript.

Well, let's see what the damage looks like.

He opens the book, and in all the pictures he placed in for visual reference, J4 has drawn a mustache and glasses. IN PEN!

Countless voices start to speak, and Ebony turns to the door.

Innumerable champions start walking in the office, each with a mustache and glasses drawn on their faces, in pen.

Garen : BOSS, WHAT THE CRAP!?

Darius : YOU BETTER FIX THIS! RIGHT NOW!

Oh boy...

Ebony facepalms as others voice their displeasure with these drawings on their faces. He had ALOT of work ahead to fix this mess.

I love how Demacia's idea of evil mischief is so trolly. No wonder he was evil laughing. J4 is a Jigglypuff at heart. I see that fully now.

At least it got Garen and Darius into the same room since the Garen exodus :P It's like a little tease before they actually meet again in the main story. I wonder if Corki Heimerdinger even noticed though...

Was babysitting my nieces this past weekend so I imagined J4 got pulled into Raven's cloak like in Raven's Birthday episode of Teen Titans. Lets just say J4 won't be lucid for a while...

p.s. I will also be gone many days this week (hunting with my dad) so I apologize in advance for late replies such as the above one.

26!

I doubt we'll actually reach 100 Chapters, but it's a nice goal to aspire to. [sg-lulu]
