It has been roughly two days that Rengar has been away from the Everfree Forest. From supervising the recovery of Wolf, as well as recovering from his own wounds, Rengar continuously felt the urge to once again break away from civilization to do what he did best: hunt.
At least Wolf would very soon make a full recovery from Lamb's healing, and Rengar had convinced Celestia to re-establish inter-dimensional communication with the League of Legends. So far, no response has been given, though Rengar knew that the majority of the summoners were the suborn type, to say the least. Thoughts flooded Rengar's head. He was heavily out of touch from fighting in the League, and he knows how much rules can change, as well as new champions that are accepted into the League, a well as new enchantments and items coming into the scene.
As well as the dreaded "meta" of which champions seem to be stronger right now than others.
However, he wanted to get his mind off of such things, and what better way to do that then to hunt to his heart's content? Brandishing his Hunting Knife in one paw and a bag full of hunting supplies in the other, he set off towards his home away from home.
"Hmmm... let's see what's on the season today."
He took the scroll listing every animal known in the Everfree Forest. With his eye looking over the various animals and beasts, he crossed each of them off mentally. He didn't have a desire to hunt basilisks at the moment, and cragadiles... he'll be taking a break from them for obvious reasons. Dragons would surely take far too much time to prepare.
A mantacore is a simple hunt, and their species are plentiful. They still pack quite a danger within them, however.
"Perfect.", Rengar muttered as he stowed the scroll away, "Time to hunt myself a new pelt."
Rengar shuffled into the brush of the forest, keeping still as well as closing his one eye. He listened around himself. He listened to all of the sounds coming from the forestlands. Heartbeats of all sizes and speeds thumped around him. His ears shifted back and forth picking up every tiny sound as if he was a living sonar device.
When he couldn't detect anything around himself, he quickly took to the trees, leaping and running along to get a better vantage point faster. Arriving at a new location deeper within the Everfree, he paused his movements and listened.
More sounds flooded his ears, as well as the smells of everything around him.
Where he was, he was close to the badlands of the over-breeding and aggressive mantacores, so a straggler should be around somewhere. He listened more, sure that a mantacore would be nearby...
...until he caught the whiff of the unmistakable smell of the very same lion-bat-scorpion hybrids he was looking for. He also smelled the horrid stench of rotting flesh. Perhaps this mantacore was scavenging off of something. They'll eat anything, anytime, anyways.
Rengar leaped down from the tree that he was perched in without sound, and quietly crept towards a plumage of bushes to get a view of his potential prize. Drawing his Hunting Knife prematurely, in case if another beast got the drop on him, he approached towards the smell of fur. The knife silently humming from its sharpness in the air, it rested firmly in the hunter's paw as he got to the edge of the brush.
A blue eye with an orange eye-binding peered from the foliage as he could now glimpse on the manatacore.
Only the mantacore wasn't moving.
Rengar knew he smelled rotten flesh, but now it was as pungent as it could be. Laying on its back, belly up was the regrettably large mantacore. Something else had killed it before Rengar.
"Damnit. Too late. And such a prize that beast would have been...", Rengar sheathed his knife, "Wait... the manatcore breeding gounds are nearby... why don't I hear any of the beasts?"
Breaking from the brush, Rengar sprinted on all fours towards the badlands of the mantacores. As he ran along, he could sense more bodies around him, growing more and more in number as he got close. Emerging from the forest, he laid his eye on the badlands...
...and every single dead mantacore sprawled out everywhere.
There were hundreds of thousands of dead beasts laying around, with a smell so unimaginably terrible that Rengar couldn't even come any closer in fear that he might actually damage his sensitive nose. He couldn't believe his eye. Every single mantacore was dead.
He had no idea how this could have happened, and especially how this could have gone unnoticed. Then again, no ponies even came into the Everfree, save for Zecora, who lived far away from the badlands.
"How could this be possible...", Rengar was absolutely baffled at the massacre of these monsters.
Then, he knew what he had to do.
There was one pony out of the other that knew anything about every animal that lived on this nation, as well as possibly any sort of disease or predator that could take them out in the manner of this caliber. Turning tail from the scene, Rengar made a break out of the Everfree Forest.
He sprinted past the foliage as fast as he could, sweat escaping from under his fur. It didn't take him too long for him to make it out of the dreaded forest, and towards the edge of it.
His eyes rested a familiar cottage.
The place where all of this began.
Rushing up to the door and sending the surrounding animals into hiding due to his appearance, he knocked three times and called out.
"Fluttershy! Open up! There is a dire situation that needs attendance to!", Rengar shouted as he forcefully knocked three more times, each hit on the door with more strength behind it than the other.
Then, the door opened, revealing the confused yellow pegasus behind it.
"Rengar...? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?", Fluttershy seemed to have just woken up from a nap and was trying to recover from being woken, a luxury that Rengar had no time for.
"Pegasus, I know you have the knowledge of monsters and beasts of this world even more than I do. You must come with me right now. Something has happened to every single mantacore. They appear to have been killed by something, all in a short time frame."
At this, Fluttershy suddenly got to her senses.
"Huh? The manatacores are... dead? All of them?", she asked with fear behind her throat.
"Yes, that's what I believe. I need you to come with me right now to investigate. If my fears are correct, the entire mantacore species could be extinct or threatened with such a possibility.", Rengar replied.
"Okay. Just let me get my friends-"
"There isn't much time. They won't be much help compared to your expertise. We must leave now.", Rengar stated.
Fluttershy bit her lip, then agreed. She got inside inside her house, and came out with what seemed to be some sort of crude gas mask.
"What the... you have respiration equipment?", Rengar questioned.
"Yeah. Sometimes I have to bury some animal friends who lived their lives to the end, and contamination from germs in the air isn't good for anypony around me. As well as the possibility for all of these mantacores to have... well... passed away could have been from something deadly in the air. Maybe... anthrax.", Fluttershy explained, "I don't seem to have a mask for you."
Rengar shook his head.
"We'll think of something when we get there."
Fluttershy donned her equipment and stepped alongside Rengar.
"Ready?"
"I'll lead the way."
The two set off towards the Everfree Forest, fearing the worse for the fate of an entire ecosystem.
"Let's make a quick stop here. Perhaps she'll be of good help to us."
"I couldn't agree more, Rengar."
The lion walked up to Zecora's hut and knocked the door several times.
"Zecora, are you home? Something has happened and we need your help.", Rengar spoke out loud so that the occupant inside could hear him clearly.
As Rengar continuously knocked, something caught Fluttershy's eye. She turned away to see a dead rabbit...
It wasn't Angel, thank goodness, but it still drove a spike into her heart to see something dead like that.
That was, until she saw a dead fox next to the rabbit. Now, she was concerned about this. Why would there be a dead fox next to a rabbit? Shouldn't the fox have just killed the bunny? If so, what ended the fox's life?
Then, she saw it. The fox had been cleaved into two separate pieces. The shy pony gasped and nearly fainted from the horrid scene that lay in front of her, until she looked around that area as well. More and more small creatures were dead.
She followed around with her eyes, walking around the back of Zecora's hut with Rengar still attempting to get contact with her.
Then, she found her.
"D-Dear Celes- Rengar! Help!"
Rengar's ears shifted towards the direction of FLuttershy's cries. He drew the knife in his paw and rushed around the hut.
"What is it?! Fluttershy!", he rushed around to find Fluttershy staring at the back of Zecora's hut. The back was in complete splinters. Broken furniture and glass was everywhere. Giant burning gashes had been made on the walls. It would appear if something had blasted a hole in the back of the hut, and gone on a rampage inside.
Then, both the lion and the pony got a dredging realization in their hearts.
"Zecora!", they both shouted as they rushed inside.
It didn't take long for the two to find her. Or... what was her body, anyways. The Zebra was stretched over the table, eyes open with fear and clutching a knife in her hoof, apparently taken in self-defense. Her mouth as open and her eyes were wide as if she had screamed before her apparently gruesome death.
"Oh my gods... Zecora...", Fluttershy choked a sob as a tear ran down her face. She touched her forehead to her friend's as she began to let her emotions take over. Rengar looked over the body of his old friend.
Zecora was the first one to ever accept Rengar for living alongside her, and helped him settle into the Everfree Forest. She was the first living soul that Rengar ever told of his origins whence he came from. He'd shared a memorable moment or two with her, and was the first he could truly call a good friend to him.
Now, she was gone. Gone from Fluttershy, gone from him.
Then, Rengar notice something across her body. Long and deep slashes, with a slight purple light coming from them. She didn't even bleed despite the severity of those cuts. Instead of blood being spilled, that purple glow was emanating from her mortal wounds.
A purple glow coming from slashes...
He knew where this came from... but it's been so distant in his memory.
Then, his memory had worked its gears and delivered him the culprit of the slaying.
It was him.
He had come to this world.
And soon, he was to do the exact same from Zecora to every single living thing on this world.
"Fluttershy."
She sniffled and looked up at Rengar.
"Y-Yeah?"
"I know what killed Zecora, and every single thing that has died in the Everfree."
Rengar grit his teeth and the grip on his Hunting Knife tightened.
"I should have known. He took my eye."
"Please, please tell us again. Just so that we are clear, Rengar. You're saying that a League of Legends champion has come to our world, and is responsible for the deaths of the numerous beasts of the Everfree Forest, and if we don't stop him, then every single living thing on this nation will be next?", Celestia asked with mortal concern in her voice.
Rengar had immediately reported his finding to Princess Twilight upon discovering the killer of Zecora, who sent a letter to Celestia to warn her of the news. Not long, Rengar was urged to arrive in Canterlot along with Wolf and Lamb, who had recovered from the battle with Golden Might.
Alongside the meeting, Luna, Shining Armor, and Princess Twilight were at the discussion as well.
"Yes, and I'm afraid that if that does happen, Celestia, then the entire world of Equus will be ravaged by this individual.", Rengar nodded.
"I don't get it. Who is this 'champion'?", Shining Armor asked.
Rengar looked over, then back at the meeting.
"He is Kha'zix. A creature from The Void, a realm of unimaginable horrors, with each of its creatures wanting nothing more to consume anything they come across. Doing so makes them more powerful, and Kha'zix is a voidling so dangerous, he's become one of the most potent and deadly League of Legends champions.", Rengar explained.
"I have heard of Kha'zix from Bard. He is an individual that not even we should take lightly.", Lamb echoed.
"Even he has eaten more than me...", Wolf growled.
"I don't get it. This... bug couldn't have killed hundreds upon thousands of mantacore within a few days. No creature could do that.", Luna argued.
"Kha'zix most certainly can. And, if he's killed enough, he will undergo evolution, something that we cannot afford to happen.", Rengar added.
"Evolution? He can change?", Twilight asked.
"Yes. The more he kills, the more his body will gain strength and morph into tools of destruction. Soon, Kha'zix could become the literal embodiment of biological perfection, turned into a killer.", Rengar continued, "Know this, whatever threat you have faced before. Whether it was Discord, Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, or even Tirek himself will pale in comparison to the capabilities of Kha'zix. He will mercilessly slaughter all of us if we do not kill him before he evolves."
The ponies all looked at each other with dread.
"How do you know so much about Kha'zix?", Twilight asked.
Rengar looked down at the floor and breathed in heavily.
"He's the one beast that I have yet to slay. We fought before. Once before I joined the League. That was how this happened.", Rengar traced a claw over his eye-binding, "And many times in the League, though in the League of Legends, they often contain the true power of champions so that they don't become too destructive, especially so with Kha'zix."
"So with Kha'zix loose on Equestria... his full power is within him.", Luna connected the dots.
"Precisely, and it is growing rapidly the more we wait.", Rengar shook his head, regrettably.
"Well, if that thing bleeds, then it can die. Do you have any idea how to kill him, Rengar?", Shining Armor asked, looking back at the picture that was taken of the slaughtered mantacores.
"He can most certainly die, but chances are, you will before you even get a scratch on him.", Rengar spoke again, "However, he has a weakness. Kha'zix is a coward. If he sees something that has the remote possibility to kill him, he will only attack them alone, and away from any help that threat to Kha'zix could call upon. He isolates, then consumes."
"I see. But none of us will be a match for Kha'zix alone.", Lamb replied.
"Exactly, that is why to fight Kha'zix, we must lure him into a sort of trap. He's dangerous, but not as dangerous as he could be right now. We must use that to our advantage.", Rengar places both of his paws on the table in front of him.
"Do you have a plan?", Twilight asked.
"I've given some thought to it, but it isn't final. My plan was that we can lure Kha'zix into a secure location, then have the Elements of Harmony spring a trap to contain the monster. As such, while he is captured by the Elements, I will kill him, ending all of this."
"It really is the best we can do at the moment...", Twilight sighed, "Nevertheless, I'll get my friends together. We'll be at your side, Rengar."
"As will we.", Lamb took her bow while Wolf circled around her.
Then, a guard broke straight into the meeting room. He had the look of horror in his eyes, along with a shaking spear in his grip.
"Sergeant! What's the meaning of this?", Celestia commanded.
"Y-Your highness... it's... Ponyville..."
She heard screams coming from her parent's room. She had no idea what had happened ever since ponies had suddenly sprawled into a panic around Ponyville. The tiny filly knocked on the door of her parents' one more time.
"Mom? Dad...? Are you okay?"
Ponies outside were screaming as they discovered more and more ponies laying in the streets, not moving. The citizens were crowding around them, some crying. The tiny filly didn't understand. Why didn't those ponies get up? Why did they just lay down like that?
Was that what her parents were doing?
Then, she put her hoof on the door, and slowly turned the doorknob.
Her parents were still in bed.
They were not moving, and blood was thrown all around the room, the same red stuff that came out of her knew when she tripped on the school playground.
She rushed over to them, rubbing her father's forehead with her hoof.
"Dad? Please wake up...", she cried as ponies outside still descended into chaos and panic.
"Mom? Are you okay?", she went over to her mom, her hoof now covered in her parent's blood.
Then, a shadow loomed over her.
When the filly turned around, she saw something that could only come out of nightmares.
A purple shelled insect-like creature towering over her with two gigantic scythe blades for its arms that crackled and sizzled with energy and blood from her parents. The needle-sharp teeth stretched into a gruesome smile with blood dripping onto the floor, "pitter-pattering" on the wooden floor of the room.
Green eyes and a twisted smile came closer to the child as she stared at the monster, frozen in fear.
"One by one, little pony... one... by... one..."
Kha'zix's claw extended out as he slowly approached the filly, dragging along and incinerating the wooden floor with void energy as the tiny pony could literally see death, a smile born on his face, ready to let her join in her parents' fate.
Zecora, noooo, and noooo, all the others in Ponyville. T-T I had so hoped death of non dicks would be avoided, but, well, with Kha'zix, guess it couldn't be avoided, just, Zecora... T-T
6786269 First Blood!
I couldn't help it.
6786346 Bwah. :P My only hope, is that Celestia ends up furious with the League for this happening, and they end up, hopefully, fixing the damage Kha' caused, but, we'll see. I look forward to more.
6786359
:^)
*sigh* And there goes all my love for this story.
6786482 Why so?
.......Damn that was dark, WHY DID ZECORA HAVE TO DIE
6786415 *gasps* You were the Pantheon summoner! :P
6786488 If I wanted to read about mass slaughter and and sensless deaths, I'd read a Displaced fic. Was great up to the last chapter, then suddenly surprise mass murder. Major pass.
because of this fic i began to play the game but i m not sure which char fits me the most could anyone help me to find the perfect char for me?
6786551 Sorry that it isn't to your liking. I hope I could make things up in the future of this story.
For now, thank you for your input.
-ShadowFall
6786551 Also, since when was mass-murder exclusive to Displaced fics?
6786550 Nope.
I'm honestly more of a Vel'koz kind of guy.
6786573 Have you read some of them? I mean, damn. It was also the first thing that came to mind.
6786564 My young apprentice, there are over one hundred and twenty five different characters to choose from.
Essentially, the real game of League of Legends begins when you hit level 30.
But first, let me ask you:
Do you prefer to be on the front-lines, or the back-lines?
That's the first question I could ask whenever I pick a champion. Send me a message if you want to continue this conversation.
6786613 I'm honestly not too much of a fan of Displaced fics myself.
I haven't read too many myself, but I need to get something clear. Displaced fics are when a guy cosplaying buys something from a shady merchant, gets sent to Equestria as said villain, then starts another Adlof Hitler's "Final Solution"?
6786638 There's a few like that, then there's others that go the other direction, depends on the author. One main thing though, is whatever they get stuck as, elements from the game/show/whathaveyou they dressed as start to crop up in their respective dimentions. They're still themselves for the most part, but yeah, power does odd things to people.
6786689 I didn't exactly know that, as I have 't read too many Displaced fics. I think I've only read one.
Then again, I'm sorry that you've lost it for my story. I hope that in the future of this story, I could possibly rekindle your enjoyment.
-ShadowFall
6786615 i dont prefer anything i am kinda a jack of al trades i only have the chars you get with level one but i am good as that guy with the large sword and as the guy that needs blood for his abilities but so far i am not that bad and i still haveto loose my first battle but i could need someone to train with
6786574 Ah, I main Sona, I'm very, very good with her. But, I am branching out. Just wish I had people to play with, I'm the only one of my friends that still plays the game.
Edit: Hell, I started a Fic with Sona on fanfiction.net. ...I should really work on it, I'm, not the best when it comes to writing, maybe can be one of my resolutions this year.
6786719 Then get the champions that look cool to you. If you want to play according to the meta right now, take a look at the "Solo Queue Tier List".
6786732 Maybe you could grab a game with me sometime. I got a group on Curse Voice and we'd love a guy who's good with Sona.
Message me and I can give my summoner name.
6786746 Mmk. :) Though, erm, not sure what Curse Voice is.
6786741 but so far i still have to try some others but so far those two are my favs
6786773 Then main them, dude. Find a champ you like, and get to know their playstyle and mechanics more. However, familiarize yourself with a multitude of champs.
6786782 like i said so far i really like that one gu with his huge sword his name had the letter g in it and that one guy who needs blood for his abilities but i heard pantheon is awesome too
6786815 You mean Garen and Aatrox? Edit: Just remembered Vlad uses blood too.
6786818
6786815
I do believe that he was talking about Vladimir.
Fun fact: Vlad was the one champion that Riot openly stated that they never should have released.
6786833 Yeah, he's really, really strong, bit too strong, don't think even nerfs could fix him.
6786833
6786818
i guess those are the names but i will know when i play it again but i got told by one teammate that i am good for an newbie and that i could become a very good player now i just a clan (if that exists) or some friends to train with
6786855 He's actually not in a very good place right now, since he actually doesn't have good stats as he doesn't use mana for his abilities. The thing is that with Vladimir is that he's either completely dominant in top lane, or he's useless anywhere. Currently, it's the latter.
Ironically, it's the same situation with Rengar, but he's in the "dominant" phase at the moment.
Don't you love to be instantly melted before you can even hit Zhonya's Hourglass? Or even worse when you just want to play Ashe adc?
6786887 Find some friends who are willing to help you out. You can learn a lot from other players.
6786891 I'm use to getting melted if I get caught, I do main Sona after all, quite possibly the squishy-ist champ in the game. :P
6786916 Are you kidding me? You reach your full build after two items: A Lich Bane and a Chalice. Sona presses Q and they all drop like it's hot.
6786935 Heh, true, but, still pretty squishy, even with them. Lich is a great item on Sona, when you consider all the damage she can stack with her Q effect, it's power cord, and then the bonus from Lich. The damage I've done before when I figured how to use Power Cord more effectively, just, yes to it.
6786941 Not to mention how disgusting Frost Queen's Claim is right now-
SPOOOOOKY GHOSTS
6786948 Yeah, is better than it was before though, I used to use Talisman of Ascension before they made the changes. I was so speedy with it, still debating which I like more, being fast, or slowing the enemy down.
6786905 i know i know i hope i find some to train with there is barely anything worse than wasted potencial but its kinda ironic in most game if not in all games i prefer to lay stealth or in defense but in lol i am good with chars who are rather made for the offense
6786952
I'd recommend frost queen's. It has significantly better stats, and 40% slow is almost always better than 40% movement speed. Plus, it grants vision. Vision is always really good. Plus, because you're Sona, the additional 50% mregen combined with your W will mostly make up for the lack of health regen on FQC. Spellthief's is also much stronger in lane compared to coin.
6786991
Are you level 30 yet?
If not, I recommend that unless there's a champion you really really really really like, you don't buy any of them for now. Also, don't buy runes until you're level 21. It's not worth it. Just play some games and try to understand the basics of the game for now, learn how to last hit minions, and start thinking about why you do certain things. Are you going for a kill just for the kill? Or are you doing it to be able to kill a turret or dragon afterwards?
If you are, then please tell us what server you're playing on. And yeah, you really need to tell us what playstyle you like. Do you jump in, killing the vulnerable targets? Just run at them trying to do as much damage as possible? Stay at a distance while raining death from afar? Or protecting your team in order for them to be able to do the above 4?
As a side note, please capitalize your I's and apply proper punctuation marks. While I can understand you perfectly well, it still just bothers me. Likely, it's only me (and a few other grammar nazis), so if you think it's too much trouble or just don't care, feel free to ignore this request.
6786891
You play Rengar? Of course you play Rengar, why else would you make a fic about him.
... You are a horrible human being, I hope you know that. I should know, I play Tahm Kench and the occasional Nunu jungle.
6787932 Funny enough, I'm actually more of a Vel'koz guy.
As for playing Rengar, hey. Adcs are the most dominant role on the team at the moment, and the best way to counter them is to kill them before you. And what better way to do so than to pick the champion who literally kills you so fast that you can't hit Zhonya's Hourglass and the death recap displays:
"100% of health in 0.1 seconds"
But Vel'kozby is still my long-time guy and he's what got me into League in the first place. I'm actually suprised that not much people play Vel where he can literally go 0/3 in lane, yet later on he becomes 14/4 because he still does damage without being in the lead. For the love of God, he has 500 base magic damage on a level 1 ultimate, plus true damage procs. The biggest reason(s) in my opinion of why people don't pick Vel is that:
A) Assassins are more dominant than Mages as the moment due to adcs being more valuable to both sides
B) He's countered increadibly easily by very popular picks, and pretty much every single assassin at some point in the game.
You have no idea how much of a hatred I have for the god-damn infinite dashing samurai.
Man, as much as I love Kha'Zix, I honestly wish I would just squish him. Though, I suppose it wouldn't be much of a story if this guy decided to join and simply destroy Kha'Zix and everyhtign aorund him. He's one of my five mains. I would love to play LoL with you sometime though.i.ytimg.com/vi/cmOWdbEiYr0/maxresdefault.jpg
6795623 Thanks so much for the comment. Message me if you would like to share summoner names.

NEVER!! he never get me if im dead!*shoots him self in the head with a shot gun* *dies* *bleeds all over the net*
{ghost form of novablade} well... that went bad so fast. what was i thinking? why in god's name and why in holy sun and moon did i do that for!?!?!
ahhh bugger
6788239 i began to play lol some days ago i admit i am not a very good player but i am badass as aatrox and,kayle and maybe caitlyn
6839708 Kayle is a great champ to start out with. Buy a Guinsoo's Rage Blade on her. It's ridiculous.
6839779 i know but seriosly who wants to stay in the way of a kayle that slashes at her enemies with over over 2 attacks per second oh and with kayle i found out the max attack speed possible in lol but still when a garen or an amumu comes i just retreat they are really hard to beat
