The Dark Protector Chapter 1

I do not own Bleach or League of Legends.

Syndra was furious, much more than usual at that.

She was fighting on one of the fields of 'justice', the very name making her nauseous , and to top it all, her team was losing.

The summoner's rift, the first battlefield introduced by the League of Legends, an organizations of thousands of champions from all over the world and beyond bound together to prevent further conflict to the war-torn land, solving conflict by having champions fight one another while been controlled by neutral summoners, all for glory and the greater good.

A lie.

Syndra could name quite a lot of champions that can barely be considered sentient and were bound in chains when they were not unleashed into the match, just like the savage beasts that they seemed to be. Other champions were here to literally just show the world their power, just like her. There were also quite a lot of political fighting going on inside, champions joining the league just because they heard that an important persona from a rival faction has also joined. Then there were those on personal crusades to enlighten or cleanse the world from this or that, quite a lot of them actually, some even considering her to be one of them, with her unhidden distaste in weakness.

In the end, the league was nothing like the glorified gathering place that the summoners presented to the general public claiming that they are bringing enemies together in friendly competitions. The truth, however was that the league is simply a gathering place for everyone with an ounce of power or talent above average. And as for the bringing together part – things could not be further from the truth.

People were constantly glaring at one another when they passed the corridors, the only thing holding them back was some strange spell preventing anyone from taking any form of damage. When champions were observing matched, they stood as far away as humanly possible from the ones they disliked.

And that was the case with Syndra just before this match. Her hatred for anything even remotely connected with Ionia was well known, and to the few that knew her side of the story- justified.

And yet, here was she now in a team with two Ionians – Irelia, that little girl which believed that the world is all black and white and Master Yi, that pathetic man that swore of vengeance for the sake of mastering some art.

And as if that was not enough, things were falling apart, fast. Yi has already died several times and the usually calm swordsman was starting to blame Irelia, who he was in lane with. The psychic link that all champions had through their summoners was constantly full of some chatter by three champions. Irelia, trying make excuses in her ever-childlish voice, Yi, initially blaming her before 'letting go of his anger' and finally Jinx.

Even the silver-haired magi had to admit that Jinx was something special in a way. The blue-haired girl was alone on the top lane, and while she managed to score a kill, she was much more interested in shooting the friendly minions, even if all of her allies were shielded from 'friendly fire' by a spell. Add that to the fact that she was constantly annoying the entire team telepathically with this like 'Boom' 'Blq Blq Blq' ' Ohh, it's broken!' and gods know what else.

Syndra had half a mind to track the girl after the match and the moment that the blue-haired menace leaves the safety of the academy…

Doing this head-count as Syndra watched friendly minions slowly pushing towards the enemy tower in the middle lane with no enemy champion in sight, she finally taught back to the last champion on her team, some newly summoned boy from another world, his summoner wanting to take him out for a spin to get a feel for his abilities. So far he was nowhere to be seen and was silent all this time, all of that leading the sorceress to conclude that he was probably killing neutral monsters.

The enemy team was consisting, from what she gathered, by Garen, that overly prideful simpleton, his ever-smiling sister Lux, that annoying hyperactive midget Teemo, Caitlyn, who as Syndra heard someone say, was tunnel visioning(1) on Jinx, her rival and finally there was Ashe, some northerner tribal leader.

Focusing back on the match, she barely acknowledge that Master Yi was saying something about enemies missing. Ignoring the blabling coming from Jinx, she heard Irelia coming to her lane so that they may take down Teemo that has just appeared infront of her, the midget happily blowing his darts away, totally unaffected by the murderous glare Syndra was giving him.

The silver-haired sorceress, annoyed at the 'Will of Blades' for thing her weak enough to not be able to take care of this midget by herself, began levitating forward, moving in range for her spells.

Suddenly she grimaced, Irelia screaming for assistance for having been ambushed on her way to the middle lane. Not wanting to help the pathetic girl, yet having no other choice since it was Garen and Ashe ganging up on her, Garen already having several more-powerful items from his kills on Yi. Any more and even she will have trouble stopping the Damacian fanatic.

As Irelia continued to move forth towards the middle, hoping to escape and Syndra moving towards her, both entered the bushes at the same time, only for both of them to be trapped by that damnable blond- Lux's spell, who was hiding there all this time. As Teemo came behind her to close in the trap all around them, Syndra more or less surrendered to her fate.

She was prideful of her abilities and knew that in the real world they had no equal, but here, with all the restrictions and seals placed on her upon entering the game so that all of them could be equal, she knew that she stood no chance.

Suddenly she shout from one of the many forest pathways leading to her base.

"GETSUGA TENSHOU"

Syndra snapped her eyes to the direction only to find…no one. Suddenly, from the sky itself, a wave of black energy fell upon both Garen and Ashe, pushing them back and taking a sizable chunk of their health pools. (2)

She followed to where the spell came from only to find a man in black robes holding a sword darker than a moonless night…standing on the air. Not levitating, but standing.

The man turned his gaze to both of them, before nodding towards Lux, who was still next to them, momentary stunned by the events. He suddenly disappeared from his spot above the ground, reappearing behind the blond, sword raised to strike.

Both girls snapped out of their acceptance of death before they both charged at Lux, Irelia rooting her in place while Syndra created a dark sphere. As the boy's black sword came down on the blond's back along with the silver-head's sphere, all three of them watched in satisfaction as Lux's health bar depleted to nothing and her body disappeared as a voice rang out in their heads ' An enemy has been slain'.

As Garen and Ashe were still quite a far back, been knocked there by the boy's attack, as well as been slowed, all three of them charged the poor midget who has taken to running. It was Irelia that reached him first, dashing with a blade surge. As the Ionian captain activated her Hiten style and started downing the furbal, Syndra picked the sphere she used to dispose of Lux before swinging it at the midget, slowing him down. A few second later and four knives courtesy of Irelia and Teemo was down.

The black-clad boy, who was still next to Syndra, turned his attention back to Garen and Ashe, who, after Teemo's death were trying to flee. The silver-haired woman saw him doing a clawing gesture in front of his face before, much to her surprise and possibly horror, a grinning, bone white skull mask formed on his face, his eye's sclera turning black while his iris becoming golden.

The boy once again used his teleportation ability, who by now has cool downed, to get into the path of the retreating duo.

Brining his sword to his side, he swung it in a wide arc, once again shouting "Getsuga Tenshou", only that this time, his voice had an echo to it, making it sound almost demonic, almost as if two people were speaking at the same time.

The black wave of energy slammed into Garen and Ashe, pushing them towards the two women and slowing them, as well taking another chunk from their health. Syndra saw Irelia rush by her and focus on the more weakly armored Ashe, her abilities still on cooldown. As the purple-eyed sorceress conjured another dark sphere, hitting both enemies at once and the boy killing the frost archer, who was focus by both him and her hated Ionian teammate, she saw a moment and seized it. Activating her ultimate, she focus on Garen, the sphere she used on Teemo still active, and with all five sphere, she easily ended the Damacian's killing spree.

After all that, they stood unmoving, both women staring at the new champion as he dispelled his mask, his eyes returning to normal. He, in turn, looked awkwardly at both of them and blushed slightly as his eyes fell on the scantily-clad sorceress.

Now that all was calm, Syndra inspected the new champion more carefully. He was slim, yet muscular, short orange hair on his head. His angular face had brown eyes and his skin was lightly tanned. He wore no armor, not even a single piece. Instead, all he had were black robe-like clothes and a black sword in a somewhat Ionian shape with a short chain at the end.

It was Irelia that finally broke the awkward silence. Moving forth, the bluishly-silver-haired girl bowed before the boy, a gesture at which the purple-eyed woman scoffed.

"Thank you for your assistance. I am Irelia, the Will of Blades, as the summoners have dubbed me." She said, raising back up and smiling at the boy.

The orange-head began scratching the back of his neck awkwardly, before turning to look at her. Feeling his unasked question, Syndra levitated herself slightly higher than normal, looking down on him, a polar opposite to the Ionian captain, which was frowning at her behavior.

"Syndra, the Dark Sovereign. I suppose I should thank you for saving me from her incompetence." She said, gesturing to the younger girl. Said girl was about to retort when the boy's voice interrupted her, speaking for the first time.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, the Dark Protector." He responded in a heavily accented voice.

They were all saved from relapsing back into silence by a beastly roar resounding through the entire battleground. All three turned to look to the sound and were barely able to make out the massive form of the Baron receiving missiles to the head over and over again, even if it did not do much damage.

The two women could only face palm while thinking the same thing 'Jinx…'

What they were not expecting was for the boy to sling both of them over his shoulders before using his teleportation ability, which they discovered was actually a fast movement ability, as when they finally reached their destination, both women were sick and wobbly on their feet.

Hearing the sound behind her, Jinx turned back and flashed them all one of her 'friendly' smiles.

"COME ON! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!" she said before switching her rocket launcher for her machine gun.

Steadying herself as fast as she can, Syndra cast one look at the boy angered at the way he picked her up like a sack of potatoes. As they downed the Baron, she kept on thinking about him.

He might be just a boy with no concept of personal space, but he had power and to the Dark Sovereign, power was all that mattered.

Please don't kill me LoL fans for butchering the game like that. I wanted to make it more realistic while still keeping the game part.

Before you start asking- YES this is our Ichigo, from this world (well the Bleach one). How he got there would be explained later. For pairing, I am leaning towards obviously Syndra, but I just might add a few more. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. No homo (or yaoi or whatever it is called).

On a side note, there is little lore as a whole for LoL, and character information is so basic that you can place only basic character traits, like for example- Jinx- murderous anarchist sadist. So some characters might seem a little OOC as I will be trying to create the rest of their personalities from what little we have. (Before you get on my case, I know there are some characters with more canon info, but the ones I am interested in have little)

Ichigo's abilities in LoL are:

Passive: Protect my Friends -5% stat increase for every friendly champion nearby.

Q: Getsuga Tenshou - wave-like energy attack plus slow down effect (simply because Ichigo lacks a stun/slow and most characters have some)

W: Spirit Walk- passive: walking on air, ignoring obstacles. Active- increases attack speed.

E: Shunpo - instantly moves to a selected location, range increases with level. (that move from middle lane to Baron is max range)

R: Hollow Mask- all around power increase (probably around 50 %, maybe less) duration 9 seconds.

Note: ^These are just for in game and will have no effect outside of the league.^

(1) I honestly haven't played Lol in two years, maybe more, so I am not sure if this term is used there. It is a term I know from games like World of Tanks and basically means focusing on one opponent and ignoring everything else, even if it kills you.

(2) While I tried to make it a more realistic version, it is still health pool based. While summoners see things like we do ingame, champions see them more subtly. If you want to see what I had in mind, google Sword Art Online health bars (the circular ones that stand around the champion).

(2.1) This is only when they are in combat in the league. Outside, everything is normal.

Any reviews (outside of flames) are always welcomed.

Thank you for reading.
