“Looks like we got here before them,” said Vi, walked into the library of the castle with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
“Well, let’s get going on the summon!” Rainbow flied over to the book and enthusiastically tossed it to Vi. Vi caught the book, and flipped through it with amazing dexterity for her gloved hands.
“Here we are; Gnar, the Missing Link. He’s cute, but deadly in a fight. Just copy this,” she gestured to the runes on the page “And focus on the runes.”
“O-okay.” said Fluttershy. The summoning process starts, the runes glowing and a beam connecting her and the paper. Finally, the burst happens, and out pops a small, orange creature. He holds a small, bone boomerang, is wearing a worn tribal mask on top of his head, and has large eyes.
“Gnar!” he growled.
“Aww… he’s cute.” said Fluttershy. The creature then growled, and he warped into a large creature, Mega Gnar. His frame triples in size, and now he snarled in rage.
“Calm down, I don’t want to hurt you…” she said.
Vi is speechless at this; Rainbow is not surprised at all.
The creature reverts back to it’s original form. “Frendaga?” it asked her..
“Yes, I want to be your friend. You’re a cute little guy, aren’t you?”
“Yana!” it squeals, and leaps up onto her back.
“No champion could understand him. And now you go on and figure it out. I congratulate you, Fluttershy.” remarked Vi. As Vi finishes the statement, Twilight, Ryze, and Applejack walk in the library.
“Ah, I see you got here before us, Vi.” says Ryze.
“Yes, we did Mr. Big Scroll. You move way too slow without those Sorcerer’s Boots on, you know?”
“Not my problem. Anyway, let’s get on with summoning Graves.”
“Wait. You’re telling me you want to summon a guy who’s an outlaw in not just Piltover, but in every city-state he’s been to?”
“You got a problem, Vi? I’m not afraid to leave you in a Rune prison for a while-”
“Is that a threat?” asked Vi.
“RARA!!!” shouted Gnar, silencing the two.
“You know, he’s got a point.” barely whispered Fluttershy. “You two need to stop fighting and focus.”
“Very well, if he blows this place up, not my fault. And I’m getting him and his partner committed after this…”
“That is after war, not before.” Ryze quickly grabbed the book from Vi, and flipped through for the page of Graves.
“These are the runes to summon Malcolm Graves, a… less than respected individual, but a trustworthy ally.”
“I personally don’t know about this…” said Applejack.
“Working with a bad man or the lives of thousands?” said Ryze, shocking everyone in the room.
“I guess you’re right.” finished Applejack, and she wrote the runes on the paper, placed it in the center of the room, and went through the summoning process.
“Wha-” is all the creature summoned can muster, before falling on the floor, motionless.
“Shit!” said Vi, rushing over to the man. He had several gun wounds on the left side of his chest. “Graves, don’t give up just yet!”
“Gotta… save… Fate….” is all he can say before he yanks a small flask of red liquid from his vestments, and drinks it before losing consciousness.
“Quick, we gotta summon Twisted Fate! Run and grab one of your friends, the faster, the better! Twilight, teleport me and you to one of your friends, now!”
“Alright, whatever you say…” replied Twilight, warping Ryze and herself out of the room.
“No time to explain!” said Twilight upon teleporting into Rarity’s boutique.
“What is it?” asked Rarity before she, Twilight, and Ryze are teleported out.
Graves lied on the crystal ground, unconscious, while Vi and Rainbow mutter curses to deities the other doesn’t know about, and Fluttershy simply tried to help Graves’ wounds with Gnar.
Finally, the new trio teleports in.
“BOOK!!!” shouted Ryze.
“Got it!” said Vi, and she tossed the book to Ryze. He flips through it extremely fast, and stops on one page.
“Write, this down now, and focus on it to save a life. Now.” said Ryze.
“Alright then…” replied Rarity. She focuses on the runes, and a man falls onto the ground, bleeding a little.
“Thank... you…” he said, taking a swig of red liquid from a flask before falling unconscious.
“Oh my goodness!” said Rarity. “What happened to these two?”
“As I said, Graves isn’t exactly a good person. His partner is, but the duo are outlaws. This is his partner, Twisted Fate. And you see, a dead man isn’t useful…” At this point, Graves began to awaken, and his wounds were healing.
“Oh God where am I?” he asked.
“Welcome to a whole new world, Graves.” said Ryze.
“In case you couldn’t tell, me and my ‘partner’” -he puts air quotes around partner, knowing T.F was unconscious- “were in a heist and were struggling to get away. If it were any other situation, I would have shot you two dead.”
“We could see that much…” said Vi.
“Shut up you, I don’t want to hear jackshit from an officer. We ain’t in Piltover; you have no jurisdiction. And as far as I know, I’m not literally wanted here. So please, explain why the fuck I’m here?”
“Two countries are about to gang up on a lesser one. We’re defending it. And you can help us.”
“Ah, fine. I’d probably get hanged back at home anyways. All that’s left is getting T.F involved… too bad he’s still out from the blood loss and health potion combo.”
“Well, hopefully he won’t be out for long.” said Ryze.
“So… I summoned him?” Rarity spoke up.
“Yes. He, Twisted Fate, is your champion; Currently, as things stand,” said Ryze. “I am Twilight’s champion, Vi is Rainbow’s champion, Gnar is Fluttershy’s champion, and Graves is Applejack’s champion.”
“Why can’t things ever be easy…” moaned Graves.
