Chapter 115

“Are we sure Perl can handle that group,” Silver said as the fencer in front of her deflected her attack and stabbed forward. The older woman’s saber skittered across Silver’s shield and the teen slashed, taking a lock of red highlighted hair from Fiora, the Grand Duelist.

The group was fighting on the fields of Summoners Rift.

“Do you not trust her?” Chara said as she leapt over a wave of water and stabbed her trident toward Nami the Tidecaller. A figure surfing a wall of stone shot in front of her and sent a spike of rock at her. Separating into her red and blue halves, Chara passed around the Stoneweaver Taliyah and reformed to stab Nami through the chest.

“To be fair,” Scootaloo said as she looked around at the smoke ring surrounding her. “She was really upset.”

A series of five knives shot out of the ring and Scoots, deflected them with a spin of her Kama. Growling, she decided to tap into her training with Shiro. Channeling wind magic into her weapons she spun quickly and a gale of wind blew the smoke away as well as Akali the Rogue Assassin.

Silver heard the Assassin gasp as she was sent flying and side stepped a thrust. The flying body of Akali impaled itself on Fiora’s blade and distracted the woman long enough for Silver to pierce her through the temple.

“She blocked out any distracting thoughts from her mind,” Chara said as she sent bones to impact the stone projectiles that were sent her way. “She is just looking for a way to blow off steam.”

Taliyah saw she was out numbered and tried retreating to find others to join with. Chara smirked and summoned a Gaster Blaster while Silver waved her staff. Words carved onto the skull.

“Dark Ecriture: Power.”

The blaster fired an extremely concentrated beam of purple glowing energy. Taliyah looked back to see the blast right as it consumed her.

“But she took on five by herself,” Silver said. “Isn’t that too much?”

Before Chara could respond, the group heard the sound of a rocket. They jumped out of the way as a missile with a red tip and a face painted on it whiz by. On the one fin of it, blue pig tails tied around it, Jinx the Loose Cannon was screaming. Eventually it impacted a tree and exploded, causing the psycho to explode.

“...The fact she was able to do that makes it seem like she has this under control,” Scootaloo said.

On another part of the Rift, Apple Bloom skated around the barrage of blunderbus shots from the Bounty Hunter Miss Fortune. She had learned the hard way that shattering the shots with her own as they would break into shrapnel.

The farm girl was doing well until a mist surrounded her and she found she couldn’t move her feet. Fortune glanced over her shoulder and saw the Redeemer Senna aiming her Relic Cannon. Apple Bloom went wide eyed and tried to think quickly. She pulled a pair of capsules out and whipped off her hat. Tossing one inside the hat and the other to the side, both surfaces were coated in white. Just as the Relic Cannon fired, she shot both her hat and the coated grass with the Portal gun and held her hat in front of her.

The blast was absorbed into the hat and shot into the air through the other portal. As soon as her feet were free she was on the move. Miss Fortune began firing at her again but she raised her hat and absorbed the shots. Pulling Jackal out again, she fired and caught the redhead in the gut. She doubled over and clutched the wound as Senna looked up in surprise. Black mist surrounded her and Apple Bloom was unable to see so she switched to another gun. The Noisy Cricket appeared and she aimed at the ground. The force blew Apple Bloom back but when she recovered she saw limbs fall to the ground.

Apple Bloom whistled as she watched this. Dropping her hat into her inventory (Micro/Perl warned her of the dangers of too much contact with the portal gel) she was about to walk off to join the others when she heard a screech. Turning, she saw Miss Fortune had been about to shoot her with one last blunderbuss shot, when Apple Bloom’s latest partner swooped in.

A green bodied dragon with red apple skin wings, head piece, and tail fins bit the bounty hunter’s wrist. The blunderbuss hit the ground and the pokemon Flapple sent a pulse of energy that tore through Miss Fortune.

“Thanks Flappy,” Apple Bloom said as she scratched its head.

Sweetie and Diamond

“Why do we get the easiest fights?” Diamond sighed as her Imps swooped in and grabbed Lulu’s magic staff and Tristana’s cannon. Sweetie nodded as she swung her blade and cut the strings on Sona’s instrument. She also channeled fire into the swing to burn straight through Zyra’s plants and crisp the champion.

“We are just the most bad ass,” She said as she cut Sona’s head clean off.

“True,” Diamond said as she had her imps grab the yordles and hold them to be cleaved. Just as she was about to, a hawk swooped in and tore into the imps, freeing the yordles. Crossbow bolts tore into the Imps holding the weapons and Tristana soon found herself increased in size as Lulu cast her spell. Sweetie cursed as she saw Quinn, Demacia’s wings smirking from her perch in a tree.

Tristana smirked as she aimed her cannon. Sweetie stabbed her blade forward and sent a bolt of lightning into the barrel. With a stab into the ground, she brought a wall of stone appear as the cannon exploded. Shrapnel ripped into Lulu and Quinn while the explosion consumed Tristana.

“Yeah,” Sweetie said. “Definitely the most badass.”

Perl

The Gamer dodged a punch from Vi and backflipped so she was between the Piltover Enforcer and Cassiopeia. She spun around and glared challengingly at the Serpent’s Embrace. Cassiopeia hissed and her eyes widened as she charged her petrifying gaze. With a smirk, Perl Blink teleported behind the snake woman just as she used her ultimate. Just as she planned, the gaze consumed Vi and turned her to stone. Cassiopeia hissed as she watched a spike of rock pierce through the Enforcer’s head from behind, shattering it.

Before Perl could use her Bloodberry to behead the snake, her danger sense told her to raise her blade up to deflect sniper fire. Caitlyn the Sheriff of Piltover cursed as she saw her attack bullet pierce Cassiopeia’s head. Sending a smirk to the sniper, Perl charged.

As she did, she failed to notice the bubbling green energy that surrounded the bushes in front of Caitlyn. As she was about to pass them, ethereal tentacles shot up and smacked her back. Perl landed on her back with a groan. She heard a roar and just barely rolled out of the way as Illaoi the Kraken Priestess cratered the ground.

“Not bad small fry,” the imposing woman said. “Let’s test your spirit.”

Perl went wide eyed as a tentacle of energy stretched from Illaoi’s hand and ripped an ethereal copy of the Gamer from her body. The tentacles went to town on the form as Perl sent a wave of fire at Illaoi. The woman crossed her arms in front of her and took the attack head on, but it gave Perl enough chance to recover from the pain she felt as the spirit returned to her body.

“Eat this!” Perl roared as she pulled out a trio of saw blades. With a flick of her wrists, Megaman’s Metal Blades tore through the air and pierced Illaoi’s form. The woman stumbled back and screamed in pain as the weapons embedded themselves in her body. Another turn and Perl split a bullet with another blade before she threw it straight through Illaoi’s throat. As the tentacles vanished, Perl Blinked in front of Caitlyn and swung the Bloodberry, severing the woman’s head from her body.

As the head hit the ground, the forest vanished. Perl was panting as the other girls approached her.

“Are you ok?” Silver asked in worry. Perl looked up at her for a moment before pulling the surprised girl into a kiss.

“Now I am,” she said when they separated. The others giggled as Silver looked stunned. This was her first time kissing Perl rather than Micro.

“Please tell me that was the last of them,” Apple Bloom asked. Just as she did, they heard the sound of metal doors scraping the ground. Readying their weapons, they turned in case this was a final challenge. To their shock, they didn’t see foes...but piles of weapons and gold.

They stared in shock for a minute before Chara smirked and walked over to some of the coins, dropping them into the inventory.

“Night on the town anyone?”
