Can we get an explanation as to what is happening in the project video from Riot?
Great video but I have no idea what happened. They explained the Bard video pretty well so hopefully a red can shed some light as to what is going on.

Master Yi dreams. He awakens partly to find himself robotic and constrained, and he struggles to release himself. He sees a scientist at work on Leona's shield, who turns to notice Yi is conscious. Yi struggles more, his vision painting the scientist as a savage warlord. Yi blinks; the warlord is face to face with him. His sight returns to the present, the scientist holding Master Yi's head still as he injects a curious golden fluid into his arm. Pain overwhelms Yi, and he groans as an immense burst of energy allows him to break free of his bonds, and knock the scientist away. He loses consciousness shortly after.
Fiora parts debris. She reaches in, pulling Master Yi from the rubble. She brings him to a place to rest, and sets him down. Yi examines his forearm, the energy fading from it as he brings his other hand to his head. Fiora steps into Yi's view, holding his blade. She swings it up to an attentive position, looking at it for a moment before turning her hand over, and giving the sword to Master Yi. He holds it curiously, and grows suspicious of the warlord's presence, though before he can swing at the shadow, he's stopped by Fiora placing her hand on his shoulder. She stands, and picks up SCARLET, turning to leave the building with Yi following behind.
A pair of doors are thrown open, busted. Fiora strides across the rooftop, with Yi following in a cautious gait. The cityscape easily blocks the view, towering buildings lit up with holographic billboards, the city below lit up a blazing orange-gold. Yi looks at the area ahead, his visions of Ionia returning, the warlord rising behind him. His vision returns to normal, revealing Zed standing above his targets. The assassin throws two brilliant red shuriken at Fiora and Master Yi, the former standing in front of Yi to receive the blows. Instead, two bullets knock aside the shuriken, preventing harm. One lodges into the rooftop, while another flies off into the side of another building. Yi and Fiora look up at Zed, while Lucian paces forward with his Lightcasters ready.
Zed enters a readied stance as well, projecting his Strikers. Lucian's Lightcasters light up with energy, and he begins strafing fire as Zed leaps forward, moving quickly through constant shifts of his shadow clones. Lucian leaps backwards, firing a quick barrage as he descends to the elevator with a flourish. Zed leaps down as well in full spin, immediately turning to strike Fiora on landing. Fiora blocks his assault, and Yi contends with a shadow clone which Zed swaps positions with, winding off his Strikers from Yi's blade. He switches positions again, blocking an array of Lightcaster shots before he spins into the shadows, binding blades with Master Yi once more. Fiora sweeps back with a flourish, and Master Yi performs a dropping strike on Zed, a critical hit missing with Zed swapping with a Shadow Clone once more, narrowly dodging Fiora's lunge.
Lucian fires at Zed as he leaps into the air, and his S Lightcaster is knocked aside by a shuriken, and before he can fire another shot, a second shuriken grazes by and Lucian is forced to dodge to the side. Fiora leaps into the air through successive lunges, diving at Zed only to be bladelocked and repelled. As he lands, Zed parries a focused attack from Master Yi, and sends him back across the elevator floor. Yi cuts into the elevator to keep grounding, and Zed raises his Strikers in preparation - Yi's vision shows the warlord standing in mirror to Zed, swords held at the ready. Master Yi's blade projects a second edge from the bottom, and his suit begins to charge with energy. A force barrier appears in front of Master Yi, which he dashes through to assault Zed. Zed charges forward as well, and their blades lock, a powerful explosion occurring when they do. Lucian and Fiora shield their eyes, and the blast overtakes them.
Master Yi's vision has him standing beneath a cherry blossom tree, as a petal falls into his hand. His vision returns, revealing the petals to be cinders, as Yi closes his hand into a fist. Lucian and Fiora have their attention on Yi, who seems to double-check his surroundings. Lucian raises his Lightcasters, and Fiora and Yi face forward towards the cityscape.
