Chapter
2 – Introducing Ionia
"Welcome to Summoner's Rift. Today's match between Zaun and Ionia
is about to begin. Please welcome Ionia's first champion."
As the loud voice echoed throughout Summoner's Rift, a blue beam of
light gradually materialized near the shop of the north-east Nexus. A few
seconds later, a bright wave of light shot out from the beam and suddenly
disappeared all together. Where the beam once was, now stood a young woman
dressed in a long black and white robe, holding two enormous fans.
"Karma - the Enlightened One!"
As the voice continued, Karma took a bow and started going towards the
shop to check if she was the first to be summoned.
"Ionia's second champion for today's match is none other
than…"
Karma watched as the beam disappeared, waiting to see who else will be
fighting today. She hoped to see someone very specific, a dear friend. She
wasn't disappointed. Out of the light came out another young woman with long
white hair and a giant blade floating behind her.
"My blade is at your service." Said the woman while bowing
before Karma.
Karma returned the bow. "It is truly wonderful to see you here
today friend. Together, we shall triumph."
The loud voice interrupted their short conversation. "Irelia - the
Will of the Blades!"
"I wonder if some of the Kinkou guardians will be here today."
Karma continued.
"Here comes the third Ionia's champion!"
"I guess we will find out soon." Irelia replied.
A tall man wearing blue clothes appeared out of the light. The clothes
covered every part of his body except his eyes. Besides the armor pieces he
wore on his shoulders and hands, he had two swords strapped to his back.
"Shen - Eye of Twilight!" The announcer yelled as Shen spotted
the two females and started walking towards them.
"Shen! It's good to know that you are by our side." Karma said
as the tall ninja approached them.
"We will win this match no matter what. Galrin, Navori, and
Shon-Xan should always be a reminder of what could happen if we lose."
Said Irelia, not sure if to herself or to her two fellow champions.
Shen replied "True balance shall be achieved this day. It is good
to see you here as well friends. And you will be glad to see who else stands
besides us on this day."
Just as Shen finished his sentence the announcer's voice was heard.
"I hope you are ready for our fourth Ionia's champion of this match!"
Shen stared intently at the beam as it disappeared. Wearing green
clothes and armor, holding two Kamas, the female figure started walking towards
the other three.
"The Fist of Shadow." Shen said as he bowed toward the female
approaching them.
"Eye of Twilight, we travel the same path." The female bowed
back as the announcer shouted "Akali – the Fist of Shadow!"
Karma had a smile on her face as she looked around her. "With this
team today there is no chance for us to lose to the Zaun scum."
"If those two fight as well as they acted in "The Tale of
Reina" then this should be easy." Irelia smiled as well.
"And please give a roaring welcome to the last of Ionia's champions
for today!"
A tainted shadow surrounded the white haired man that came out from the
beam of light. As the black energy dissolved, the four champions standing near
the shop stood speechless. The man holding a huge bow that appeared before them
was not who they expected to see. The vile energy enveloped the lower part of
his body, making him seem half human half demon.
As the man started walking towards the shop the announcer continued.
"Varus - the Arrow of Retribution!"
Irelia's smile quickly disappeared. "What is he doing here?
Karma did you know about this?"
Karma lowered her head. "I was told that there is a chance Varus
will come. I know this is not optimal but he is a valuable force for us. Do not
worry, I can control him."
"The Zaun criminals will all pay their debt today for helping Noxus
in their war. I can feel the Mad Chemist, he's here. The guilty will know
agony." Varus said as he got close to the shop.
Karma took a long look at everyone around her. "Well, now that
we're all here I can tell you the plan."
