The runes of the base heal Yi, the blood clears as well as the bruises. Yi stands up, his wounds are gone and his power returns. He grabs his new jungle item; skirmish and dashes towards the red brambleback, not wanting to waste time. As he walks past his inhibitor turret he can faintly see Yasuo in the distance, 'never have I seen him this serious...' Yi continues his path to the brambleback still thinking about Yasuo fighting Riven. He stands in front of the large brambleback with two little cinderlings by his side. Yi attacks the large monster and as the creature is about to claw him Yi alpha strikes, completely dodging the beast's slash along with the two little cinderlings. Just as Yi finishes his strike the swordsman sends out fast slices, his blade piercing his target. With one last swing the brambleback's back explodes, the red light consuming it. The cinderlings weak, die with one hit and Yi darts towards the raptors. The large Crimson raptor eyes him and all the three small raptors do as well, Yi looks back at them and just like the brambleback Yi dodges the big raptor's attack. As Yi was about to kill the raptors he could hear threats from the middle lane.
"How dare you use such strikes and wind attacks in front of me!" Yasuo yells at Riven, "I know you did it, Riven!". Yi finishes killing the raptors and tries to not focus on Yasuo's lane, he continues towards the wolves. He walks across the middle lane and glances ahead of he lane and Yasuo is about to strike. Yi just runs along and starts the wolves, he hears swords clinging together. He rushes the wolves and meditates, levitating once again. He drinks a potion, slowly healing him over time as he runs over to the river bush. He turns and enters the left bush of middle lane, as he crouches he eyes the two. 'Yasuo has become too aggressive... vengeance blinds him...' Yi continues to watch the two attack and fall back, waiting for the correct moment to jump out. Yasuo charges in and with a thrust of his blade Riven is weakened, Yi hurries out of the bush. He lifts his sword and swings it - a burst of yellow light appears in front of him. As he finishes his strike he realises... he missed... Riven had used flash and is safely under her tower, lit by a blue beam; recalling back to her own base.
"You had one job, Yi..." Yasuo spat harshly. 'Ah... sh-' Yi hastily turns his body around and darts back into the river. He looks back - wondering if Yasuo was chasing after him but he only saw the still river. He lowers his head, 'I only wanted to help'.

The camps were complete, Yi's blue buff from Lee sin was now replaced with his own blue buff. Yi finishes meditating and prepares to fight the Gromp. He attacks then alpha strikes, dodging the toad's shot. Slicing the creature, Yi smites it and is given a buff, purple orbs float around him. He begins to recall but is interrupted by several pings; PING. PING. PING. It echoes throughout the jungle, and Yi rolls his eyes; he knows what ping that is. Assistance. Yi enters the river and the sound of the pings grow louder in his right ear, 'who would of thought? Middle lane'. The small scuttle crab walks past Yi's feet and he eyes the creature. PING. PING. 'An annoyance or a walking ward?' - Yi turns right and once again charges to the left bush of middle lane but as he draws closer Riven backs off to her tower. Yi stands outside the bush and he turns his eyes to see a disappointed look on Yasuo's face - he crosses his arms and frowns.
"You don't have sweeping lens do you...?" Yasuo stirs.
"Well.. Actually... I haven't-" Yi says but Yasuo interrupts.
"I don't want your excuses, go back!" He orders. Yi just laughs and runs back into the river. 'Go back? You interrupted my recall you piece of-' the sight of Lee sin catches Yi's attention.
"Hello-" Lee sin says but Yi immediately sprints into middle lane.
"Bye!" Yi puts up two fingers and swipes the air; PING. Yasuo turns his head towards Yi as Yi charges into his lane running for his life. Lee sin was in a better state than Yi this time. Without hesitation Yasuo runs at Lee as he sent out a blue orb aimed at Yi, a burst of wind pushes towards Lee- wind wall. It absorbs the attack and Lee sin clenches his fist as Yasuo laughs running with Yi back to their tower. Lee sin stops following them to turn around to Riven who was standing far behind. He curses at her for not following up but she just laughs as she points at the right bush of middle lane that she had warded earlier. There stood Sona and Ezreal, both came to help due to the pings. Lee sin just throws his orb at his raptors and flies out of lane- angry at his on foolishness. Yi begins to recall back along with Yasuo but before they do Yasuo looks at Yi.
"You ungrateful swordsman - jeez you're welcome, guess I won't help you next ti-"
"Thank you... but I had that, I could have easily ran away to safety" Yi interrupts.
Yasuo shakes his head and they both laugh as they recall, "oh, thank you Ezreal and Sona for reacting to my pings- lucky you were there" Yi thanked. The blue light disappears and the two swordsmen arrive at base.

Yi buys a recurve bow and stares at the item.
"Hey Yasuo, have you ever wondered how-" Yi asks but Yasuo finishes his question.
"How two daggers make a bow? Magic Yi. Magic" Yasuo laughs as he heads in the direction towards middle lane. Yi chuckles as he buys a vision ward then he runs off to the bottom side of his jungle. As he leaves he catches a glimpse at Yasuo who is pointing at him then pointing at base, 'Am I forgetting something...? Oh, sweeping lens' Yi gives Yasuo the thumbs up. Yi turns back and darts to the healing base, replacing his warding totem with a sweeping lens. He then travels back to the bottom side of the jungle, heading for the Krugs. This time when fighting Krugs he figures that it would be wiser to save his smite, he finishes them and heads to the river. As he searches for the crab he spots two green antennas sticking out of the ground, 'Lee sin...' Yi sighs. He heads towards the raptors but is interrupted by the voice of the rift announcing that "an ally has been slain". Yi's eyes widen, 'slain? Who could of possibly died?'. A light shines in front of Yi- not too bright but visible, it displays a picture of singed with a smaller picture beside it of Lee sin. Next to the enemy portraits was a sword and then the ally was revealed; Garen. Yi fights the raptors in disappointment, 'I should of went top side jungle then I could of countered that gank'. As Yi finishes the raptors the voice of the rift announces that "an ally has been slain" again but this time the voice yells, "enemy double kill!". Yi lowers his head slapping his goggles with his hand, 'Bot lane...' Yi ignores it and continues on. He spots Lee sin's blue buff timer, it will be up soon; 20 seconds remaining. As he turns around to head to the buff he notices that Riven is pushing up on middle lane, he smirks. Yi bolts into middle lane sticking one finger up and swiping the air in Riven's direction; PING. PING. The ping targeting Riven, Yasuo acts quickly, he pulls his sword out of his sheath and dashes through a minion to reach Riven. Yi summons a red beam of light above Riven; skirmish's red smite. Yi sends multiple attacks at Riven and Yasuo thrust his sword forward charging his tempest. On the second sword thrust wind whirls around Yasuo's blade, Riven raises her sword as she she sends out a Ki burst stunning only Yi. Yasuo was behind but his blade was ready, he swings it sending out a tornado that hits Riven causing her to be airborne. Yasuo and Yi laugh as they both strike towards her, it doesn't kill her but with Yasuo's final blow the critical strike defeats Riven. A blue light surrounds her and the announcer says, 'an enemy has been slain'. Yi and Yasuo grow in strength, both level 5.  With a nod Yi heads towards the left middle lane bush then into the river, 'too late to get Lee's blue... but I'll get his red' - Lee's red buff spawns in 2 minutes and 25 seconds. Yi sprints through the river to wolves and alpha strikes, the two small wolves whimper in pain. Yi finishes off the wolves and jogs to Gromp, the large toad stares at him. Yi starts Gromp... 1 minute and 34 seconds till red buff. With a final strike the Gromp explodes and Yi walks to the river... 57 seconds till it spawns. Yi crouches as he approaches the red buff bush, trying to be as quiet as possible he stands in the bush. Sword ready... 23 seconds... 22 seconds... PING! 19 seconds... PING! PING! 10 seconds... PING! PING! PING! 'okay Garen... I understand that Singed is missing but there's no way this bush could be-' a small warding totem shrivels up as it shrinks into the ground beneath Yi's feet. '...warded' Yi darts back the way he came but as he enters the corner bush he is greeted by Riven.
"Hi Yi! How's the red buff going? You really were waiting for it...' she taunts. Riven raises her sword in the air and a burst of Ki is released, Yi alpha strikes- only half dodging the stun. He is stunned during his strike, dazing. Riven hops once, twice and with her final strike Yi is pushed back... into Singed. Laughter. Blood. Poison. 'I'm going to get out of here'. Instead of running into the river Yi runs towards the wall of the baron pit. He is able to escape- he flashes away from Singed and Riven, the pit is accompanied by the Rift Herald. The large purple monster with an eye on it's back isn't hostile- Yi sighs and tries to leave the pit. A blue orb is shot over the wall behind Yi, it isn't directed towards him- Yi's eyes widen, 'the Rift Herald'. It hits the creature and it starts stomping towards Yi, the Wuju bladesman runs for his life but he doesn't have boots- he's too slow. The monster raises both arms and smashes down heavily.
"You have been slain!" the voice of the rift announces.
