Sinister (girlxgirl)

Into the Abyss

1 minute.

Strutting across the dimly lit walkway, Katarina exhaled as she stepped into the glass cylinder awaiting for her. The launch plate bounced as she placed her foot in then the glass door slid shut when she was inside. The walls did nothing to accent the same concrete floors. It was all dim as it would be in a launch room a few minutes before slaughter. She watched the red LED clock from the corner of the room countdown from :49 seconds. It was a tight space, but she would soon exit it once she made it into the lesser map of the four selected. The other two champions, like her, were armed and ready to fight once more. They were right beside her and only spaced by a wall on each side.

30 seconds.

Her grip surrounded the hilt of her two blades slowly taking them out from their resting place. Gears began to shift underneath her and fresh oxygen blew into the tube from a small pipe that was drilled into the side of the portal. They clicked and snapped in place with each bolt and nut they connected to. Katarina stared into her own reflection. This match was not one that she would have to worry about anyway. She was summoned to battle against bots, which were mindless robots programmed under a bunch of codes. Although this would be a simple thing for her, they were intermediate. These bots were designed to destroy everything in their path.

10 seconds.

The floor shifted gears and cranked the ascension. One foot right in front of the other, Katarina lifted her eyes and held her weapons by her side. Her green eyes caught sight of the speck of light at the end of the dark tunnel that surrounded her. It grew brighter and her pupils dilated from the stark light of the fountain's runes upon rising into the arena.

0 seconds.

A chilling breeze whisked past the three champions. The Noxian woman blinked her eyes several times to emit the light back into her eyes. The female announcer's voice rung out marking the 30 second timer of the two altars that would unlock.

"They are out there," said a stocky man by the name of Twisted Fate. He looked around at the dark atmosphere and pursed his lips. "Best not to feed them."

The other retorted his statement and rolled her piercing aqua eyes. She held her gun and grabbed her item from the store and retreated off the fountain, looking towards him and glancing at Katarina for a brief second. Her accented prissy voice was enough to sock a punch to her jaw if the assassin wasn't having a good day. "I'll go secure the altars then head top with you. The Noxian can take bot alone."

The both of them saw her exit the fountain with her violet skirt swaying side to side. Katarina looked to Twisted Fate, and the man just shook his head with both eyebrows raised high from the sheriff's orders. "Caitlyn's sure had a good morning. Just ping when you need a stun." She nodded once as he ran off following the raven haired woman. Katarina sneered off her remark with daggers to the sheriff's back.

The Shadow Isles was enough to give off the haunting aura that the bots had. Katarina has fought these robots countless times but each time with their unnatural beady eyes staring directly at her. At times when she wasn't careful enough, they would target her mercilessly and impale her till she was too beaten to continue fighting in the lane. Health potions would burn away with the constant use of them. She had brought only one with a tome to amplify her abilities.

She kept her weapons ready and stalked down the dreary lane. An eternally thick, unnatural fog blanketed the arena and faint screams and voices echoed the spirits of the undead. She went into a bush and awaited for the minions to come. Katarina didn't know who her opponents were. They were never revealed to them but were only left to discover at first blood. This was the one of the many differences that bots had against actual champions. The announcer's voice spoke again and the minions were released.
