From the Shadow isles they came
Chapter 14
"I probably said this a million times already so forgive my silly little complaints… BUT THIS WORLD FUC$#$# SUCKS!" Hecarim screamed as he marched under the rain next to Mordekaiser and Thresh, their long trip to Germania was only half way done, they were marching right next to Louise's and Kirche's carriage because it was too cramped to go with them (and they really didn't want hear them) but they weren't expecting a thunderstorm to hit them in the middle of the road so now they were heel deep in mud and Mordekaiser constantly being struck by lightning because of his helmet.
"It's like I got transported to a world of pixies and bizarre colors" Hecarim kept mumbling but he was ignored, Thresh mostly because we was planning revenge against Lucian and Senna, while Mordekaiser was more worried about their situation, not that he was worried about him or the Shadow Isles denizens but more for the human companions, he really didn't want to literally carry them around so with his mace he stopped the carriage. The horses being wise enough not to piss off the giant armor of a man stopped dead in their tracks as soon as they saw the giant mace stopped moving, greatly confusing the driver.
"We are camping here for tonight" Mordekaiser informed the man, who proved to be not as smart as his horses.
"But lady Valliere ordered us to keep going until we reached Germania! And is raining and there is now where to stay we are in the middle of afield and…" he kept saying making Mordekaiser roll his eyes and pick him up by the collar. "And the giant dead Lord says that we are staying here tonight, if pinkie has an issue with that she can come to us, got it?"
The man nodded quickly
"Good"
Mordekaiser raised his hand with the power of souls and metal, he formed a small house they could stay in, he even made a porch for the horses and the carriage he was thoughtful like that. Mordekaiser motioned the man to "park" and looked around.
"The woods are alive" he said, Thresh stopped his thinking and gave him a raised flame-eyebrow. "Duh, didn't you go to school?"
Mordekaiser bonked him in the head "Not like that dumbass, we are being hunted, it's on the woods"
Thresh let out a whistle "Balls of steel on that guy, hunting US down" Hecarim overheard this and nodded, they were the scariest thing on this world for sure so, what was it on the woods.
"So are we being cautious of this one or do we wait for him" Hecarim commented as he twirled his spear around, Mordekaiser shrugged his shoulders "I'm sure we can handle it"
"You can handle what servant?" Louise asked as she approached them, she planned on yelling at them till her cheeks matched her hair but there was something on the air, her familiars where being cautious and somber, their eyes darting to the woods and then back at her. Mordekaiser looked at the woods and caught the sight of a lantern, making him frown "We are being stalked, stay inside the house and tell the Germanian nothing"
"Too late, heard it all already"
"… well, now you know I guess" Mordekaiser grumbled making Kirche giggle but she would not lie she was regretting Tabitha to not tag along with her, a prodigy of her caliber would have made for fine assistance, but she looked at the warriors and thought that it was almost impossible for something to hurt them. They would be just fine so with a pat on the shoulder to Louise she entered the house making the explosive mage look down at her feet "Don't die…" and with a blush she left making them all feel one emotion.
Amusement.
"Heh Tsundere"
"Why are we making a big deal out of this? Is not like something from here can hurt us" Hecarim said and looked at the horse carriage and grabbed an apple from it, Thresh following his example went to the carriage and returned with a dead body munching on its remaining soul.
"…."
"…"
"What?"
"Is that the driver of the carriage?" Hecarim asked confused, Thresh took a look down recognized him and nodded "Why did you kill him? WE NEEDED HIM!"
"I didn't kill him"
"…"
"…"
"Oh F%$&!" they all said at the same time and started to look around for the culprit, Mordekaiser checked on the horses and they were calm, they had seen nothing making it even more worrying whatever was out there, it was fast. Hecarim not being a patient spirit ran around the house trying to find some animally while Thresh tried to locate his soul finding nothing "No mortal can cloak its presence like this!" Thresh said confused.
"No mortal you say" Mordekaiser mumbled until he heard something a faint whimper coming from behind, wasting to time he slammed his mace against it hitting a… scarecrow?
"Ah fiddlefu#$%" he said and then was promptly stabbed by a giant scythe on the neck, Mordekaiser tried to punch him but Fiddlesticks was too fast, he ran around the house trying to brake in but to no avail Thresh threw his hook towards him but Fiddle dogged it, he screamed at him only to be met by Hecarim trying to run him down. Fiddle managed to jump over him but he was not fast enough to doge Mordekaiser who grabbed him by the throat.
"Huehuehue, we are TWO to ONE, shadow isles break the tie with the demons!"
"No…fair" Fiddle said in return, Mordekaiser dropping him. Hecarim whooped at their victory while Thresh looked at Fiddle confused "Wait a minute, how did you get here, did you get summoned too or something?"
"Cracks… in the… wall… DEMON... can… move"
"Ok, that solved absolutely nothing thanks" Hecarim said, but Mordekaiser was not surprised by the answer Fiddlesticks gave him, he was the one Demon that couldn't talk, just their luck he guessed.
"GO… I HAVE… to go" Fiddlesticks said and ran towards the woods disappearing into a flash of light, making all of the undead blink in confusion. "I hate cryptic events" Hecarim said
"Yeah" Mordekaiser answered as lightening lighted up the already darkening sky.
Viktor groaned in absolute agony as he looked at his surroundings, he had fainted not so long after he had landed on the bed of roses… and thorns, but his sides where absolutely killing him right now, his ribs hurt and his right eye refused to open. "Blyay" was all that he could say in this situation but to his surprise he realized that he was not with his new companions. He was in a cell… "Ah the bringer of glorious evolution" a voice called out from the darkness making Viktor tense, he was no coward but one had to be a fool to not be afraid of that voice, if you valued your life that is.
"Ma'am" was all he could muster, earning a chuckle from the voice "so formal, you can call me Caitlyn" the sheriff of Piltover commented as she appeared onto view, or well half his view.
"You are lucky I'm not Jayce you know he wanted you thrown into jail immediately but because I have a strong sense of justice I wanted to hear you first"
Viktor tried to move but he was tied down, ah crap, he felt a strong sense of dejavu but nodded at her "I will answer all the questions you have"
"Is not like you have that much of an option tin can" Vi commented as she placed a cup of coffee next to Caitlyn who nodded in thanks, the duo was complete. Looking around worriedly he noticed that he was in what seemed to be a classical interrogation room and he was shirtless.
Neat.
"Why am I undressed?"
"We removed the thorns from your mangled body and stitched up a large gash on your back, you are lucky your friends can't drive to save their lives, we catched up to them very quickly"
"…Thanks I guess"
"But enough silly pep talk, question time Viktor, what are you doing in Piltover?"
"Saving the world" Viktor said and started to recall all the events that had transpired up to this moment omitting the parts about stalking Jayce and it all being an actual probability not a certainty, but Caitlyn did furrow her brow at him.
"Bull$%" Vi said making Viktor shrug "You can believe me, or you can ignore me it really does not matter… oh but the world might explodes so you know, normal Tuesday I guess"
Caitlyn was about to say something but the doors to the interrogating room where flung upon by an irate pirate.
"OK, enough %$#%#$# give him back or I will shove you this pistol so far up your…"
"How did you get out of jail so fast?"
Miss Fortune smiled "We got religious immunity" she said as she pointed her thumb back towards Leona who simply smirked "Dorime"
Caitlyn shook her head "Please no need for violence we are only… talking" she said but Miss Fortune shook her head "Oh please you people have the biggest bias towards Zaun, especially him so as Captain Fortune I will be taking him with me, he has… political importance for Bilgewater"
Caitlyn snorted but smiled "Sure, but here's the thing pirate lady since your absence someone else has taken over Bilgewater… again"
Miss Fortune gritted her teeth "Gangplank"
Vi nodded "Ah don't worry yourself pretty girl, you took care of him once you can surely beat him up again"
"Darling, I know I can do it, but he is more stubborn than…" Fortune never finished her thoughts a large explosion shook the building "I swear if its Jinx I will flip my SH…" Vi started but an inhuman scream filled the air, making all blink in surprise all but Miss Fortune "Impossible… they can't be here" she started but when a giant ghoulish looking hand ripped off the ceiling she could only blink in amazement, the Mist had come for Piltover. But it was only one? They moved in hordes what was going on?
"You will never bring back Mordekaiser and his cronies" Karthus screamed at the top of his lungs and commanded his giant ghoul to grab Viktor (and Caitlyn) once his target was secured on his hands, Karthus let out a scream and disappeared along with his ghoul.
"Cupcake!" Vi screamed as she looked around for answers but they were long gone, making her punch the wall in frustration. Sara gulped "Karthus commands the mist now, this is really REALLY bad!"
Leona groaned "Why can't things just be straight forward" Sona nodded depressed at everything that was going on, Ahri had just returned with Blitzcrank with ice cream "I didn't know what to get Viktor so I brought him chocolate is that ok?"
"Viktor has just been kidnapped, he is probably being tortured to death on the Shadow Isles…I couldn't save him either" Sara said as a lump formed on her throat and memories of her family came to her mind, her eyes watered.
"…so I can eat his ice-cream then?"
