As the sounds of ice shattering and the blistering wind of the chilling air swirled around the champions upon the street, many of the stinging lances of ice colliding with both friend and foe. The storm continued to swell turbulently, coming to a quick conclusion in the quick seconds it took for it's caster to be interrupted in her efforts. Even still, the champions held their ground, their bodies slightly more worn and weary after the sudden frigid assault.
The air hung heavy around the towering duo, their weapons screeching with the sound of scrapping metal as they fought for control. It was only after Clarice had dodge out of the way, that Sion's avatar let out a bellowing roar- throwing a savage backhand against the elongated muzzle of Liam. The ebon furred male staggered slightly as his deadlock with Scion was broken, allowing the iron-jawed monster to collect his ax at his side. The two locked eyes once more, an audibly rumbling exchanged with a fierce intensity as their bodies stood rigid and ready for what was to come... That was until Liam smirked. Sion narrowed his eyes as he took a step forward- only to have Clarice's blade bury into his shoulder, the carved flesh sealing itself rather quickly as he attempted to settle his form. He attempted to roar, though only staring surprise as his voice fell silent in his throat. Tightening his grip on his axe's shaft, he stood there as his body shook with rage- though even that was short lived as Vicki's form could be seen darting in from the side. In a moment of suspense and shock, Sion could not react quickly enough before the rocket-propelled female delivered a vicious uppercut upon his jaw- the sound metal screeching and clashing against each other as he gauntlet delivered it's devastating payload.
It was after this, that Sion stood sill and unwavering- his eyes unseen as his head was still cocked back form the brunt of the blow. It wasn't until a rumble in this throat could be heard that the creature showed any signs of life, followed swiftly by his free hand reaching up to grab the gauntlet of the woman that struck him. With a muted laugh, Sion wrenched his back down against the woman's fist to look upon her eyes as his ax came down and from the side- his attempt to strike his now detained victim.
Regardless of the outcome, Liam stepped forward to break the lock with a savage swing of his scepter against the construct's face, causing Sion to lose his grip on the girl as he recoiled from the brunt of the blow. "Get the hell out of here!" Liam snarled audibly, lifting his hand as the dust that had settled from the collapsed building began to stir at his words, coalescing and swirling around the iron-jawed assailant. Sion's movements then became sluggish, unable to move with his full speed or intensity.

Urgot could not help but cackle with a twisted sense of pleasure as his strike struck true, raising his other arm as he prepared to finish off the wounded combatant before him with acid-seeker... However, merely a second before he released his projectile, his eyes filled with horrors and abominations- his quest for beauty failing right before his eyes as he groaned shortly before erupting into a pained yell, drawing the attention of his spectral ally behind him.
"Shut your mouth, wretch! I'll not have you die yet!" And with this, Thresh's lantern began to glow with a strangely familiar light as the sound of screams and pleads for mercy began to fill the minds of all those around them. It didn't take long before the aura had formed a dome around the duo as the warden settled back into place- and the visions leaving Urgot's eyes. With that, the Warden looked back to Raze expectantly, baring a sinister smile as he began to twirl his chained sickle in hand. Yet, his cocky visage soon faded to a blank stare as a tendril of void essence connected the Warden to Moritz. Raze's spear broke the ethereal wall that sheltered the abominable duo, his following charge colliding with the sphere with enough force for a visible crack to split the expanse of the luminous dome.
"Keep yourself together, Warden!" Urgot chimed in, turning his attention to Moritz as he raised the same arm that had doused Leon with acid but a moment before, firing another canister through the air in the boy's direction. His twisted visage curled up into a smile for but a moment as the dome around him broke with a sound of shattering glass from the chunk of earth sent in his direction- followed swiftly by the clawing and tearing of a ghoul at his side. With a angered snarl, he lifted one of his mechanical appendages before shoving it through the ghoul as it dissipated into dust. It was then and only then that he noticed the Draconic Female before him, causing the abomination to pause as the sound of his mechanical legs retreating could be heard. For a moment, his visage betrayed his fear, but he swallowed what he could of the rising dread as he stared the woman in the eyes, "You think I'm afraid of you? You're just another fool of Demacia who will learn their place soon enough. Go back home! You might buy yourself a few more days of living."

Graves merely raised a brow as the boy bolted back a ways, shifting the cigar around in his mouth as he exhaled a plume of smoke. Chuckling to himself he shifted the shotgun to his shoulder, "Guess that boy took the hint. Good... I'm not one for takin the life a child." Shaking his head, his attention to Artemis as she completed his brief exclamation, prompting the gunman to furrow his brow though he made no attempt to bare his weapon in her direction.
"Villain? Well that's a weighted subjective remark," He spoke plainly, no malice in his voice as his free hand lifted to remove the cigar from his mouth- flicking the thick leaved cylinder as the ashes began to disperse from the tip, "You think you know what's right and wrong in this world? How bout a man who gave a good decade of his life to protecting places like this- only to be tossed on his ass by the very people he risked his life for, hmm? Now tell me, what does that make me; A Hero, Villain, or a man who's just trying to make his way in this world? Think really hard, girlie... You strike me as a smart one, so don't put your neck out for something or someone that won't do the same for y-" Suddenly, the gunman's attention was directed towards the ground beneath him, "The hell?"
Without warning, the ground beneath the gunman split as it sent him falling backwards, showering the nearby area in debris and asphalt. Graves did his best to catch himself, darting backwards as he lowered his gun back to his hip, gripping the weapon tightly as the grinding of gears could be heard. Upon his face sat the familiar cocky smile that his champion was known for, point the barrel of his weapon forward as a heavy burst of shrapnel and shells rocketed forward with enough force to push the gunman away, furthering the distance between the armored boy and the gunman.

"You'll find that it's better not to fight them, dear boy. They have alot to offer if you you can find common ground," The man smirked knowingly, eyeing over Garrett approvingly, "Which is why I expect you to continue working with us. Men of our caliber can appreciate a good fight... Which by the way, I have word there is fight going on down town. Hurry, and you might get there in time to fill your lust." The man stated, obviously ignoring the question about his identity. With a smile and a wave, he began walking away, Megan falling in line behind him swiftly.
"Oh, and by the way!" The man called out once more, motioning with his hands towards the murder of crows that had began to over-saturate the area, "I'll be keeping an eye on you. Be a good boy, now!" And with that, he continued his trek down the road.
