[glow=purple,2,300]Amelia struggles to stand, as she did she notices another creature standing before her, it looked like a twisted metal creature... odd... It was speaking at her... Let what take over? She narrows her eyes it raised the blade... What was that? It pulsated... A weapon? She was unsure, the fighting was getting violent. She had to leave... Or... Eliminate them all...
She grips her head, pain... Screaming into her mind... Eliminate. They were all prey to be silenced. She trains her eyes on Kassadin and begins walking towards him, her tail flicking about violently begind her, ignoring the other fight that seemed to be going on.[/glow]

Even though Singed wasn’t a man that was normally taken back by any situation even he had to admit that this particular one was not something inside of his plans for the night no matter how prepared for troubles he was. “On the seat there is a white bag I have 5 flash grenades, one extRevolver with hollow point bullets and one of Warwick’s calm potions, use it on the girl we need to resist for 5 minutes I have already called for reinforcements when this circus started.” He was trying to keep calm yes he had been preparing the Zaunite military for a Void invasion but he didn’t know if things were going to work right and even if they worked to fight on the middle of the city would result troublesome. “I will distract it for a minute while you make it to the bag Viktor.” While saying this Singed threw one flask of napalm adhesive to the titans feet and one flash grenade to his face. ((The hollow point bullets are 18% Scarlet steel 82% Lead so it prevent regeneration or heal))
Cho'Gath could not hear them, he was too busy evading the cloud. His devices were powerful....the void could benefit from this. He roared loudly to gain their attention..mostly Viktors.
" Gahh....Your devices are strong...the void could make you Powerful. Why do you fight for the humans? Do you not remember what Stanwick did to you? They would not hear your pleas... but you were the technological genius. The humans think your Glorious Evolution to be delusional...but we could make it a reality. Our magics date back before time itself, think about it... They all must be reborn into something better....yes? " Cho'Gath spoke loudly, but directly at Viktor.
Singed would be bright enough to know that Cho'Gath was trying to turn Viktor against them. His circling patter was leading towards Amelia, ready to grab her. But then he was flash grenade d, blinded servery. He lifted a scythe to cover his eyes and he growled, shaking his head. His feet begin to burn, but he cared not for it barely affected him...but the glue angered the void beast and he Started violently breaking free to charge at Singed. Roaring at the chemist.
Viktor looked over to where Singed had previously been sitting, immediately noticing the brown back which seemed to be full of the things that the Chemist stated were in it. Nodding at the other Zaunite in affirmation, the Herald left things up to the bandaged one as he made his way over to collect the things he knew he could make good use of. Viktor opened the bag and took out the Hextech Revolver, along with the hollow point ammunition for it and two of the flash bang grenades. However, he saw much deficiency in each individual thing, so he rapidly took apart the grenades and then somehow managed to convert the contents into several small caps that could go over the tips of the bullet, in addition to some small pellets that would have just as much effect as the larger grenades despite their own size. When Viktor was ready to continue the fight, Revolver in his right hand and ammo in his left, Cho'Gath had decided to address him.
And the words spoken were enough to shock the Machine Herald into hesitating. There was no denying that Viktor held no interest or compassion for humanity, and it was true that his designs were superior to most others'. Viktor prided himself on the sheer efficiency of his devices, how well the functioned as well as their durability. To say nothing of how well-kept his own mechanical arm was, it was truly a marvel to be seen by others. But people were so fickle, so arrogant and ignorant. Stanwick Pididly had shown him that humanity's greed extended enough to forsake another in order to achieve your own agenda. And all the controversy he'd been met with, from the general populace, made it clear that humanity was not willingly ready to forsake their own natural biology to achieve an evolution higher than their current tier.
Viktor wasn't well liked, and was only respected to the degree that his creations were formidable and wondrous. If not for that, he might not have even been accepted into the League and he would not have become a Champion. Viktor's memories were not lost, and no matter how much he tried he simply found it infinitely difficult to bury the man he once was. Even now he was thoughtlessly fighting for the sake of another who didn't necessarily care about him or his goal, who likely only saw him as a means to an end and nothing more.
Viktor stand, motionless and silent, for a few minutes while Singed continued to fend off Cho'Gath. The Chaos Storm would eventually reach a point where it began to grow weaker and slowly dissipated. Viktor would not have acted, either to attack Cho'Gath or help the girl. His mind had given in to the doubt and need for purpose that the Void beast had planted with its words. After all, Viktor had been wronged so extensively by humanity, why should he have to fend off the Void when he could instead embrace it and find an entirely new power with which to advance the Glorious Evolution?

Kassadin took a step back and raised his nether blade in front of himself, readying it for the incoming assault. He clenched his left hand, which began emanating a purple glow.
If you cannot resist the void's calling, then you must be destroyed. His breath echoed loudly across the room now - not hearing it would have been almost impossible.

[glow=purple,2,300]Amelia continues walking towards Kassadin, her fists clench and are enveloped in a purple static aura that drip like molten lava, a combination of both the voids energy and the power surging through the mechanical augmentations. She speaks, her voice just as loud as Kassadin's as if challenging him, yet slight confusion had crossed her face,[/glow] [shadow=red,left,300]"[glow=red,2,300]Void? I do not know what it is....

I will not let your ignorance jeopardize Valoran's future. Those who live by the void, will die by my hand; and you are no exception! Kassadin then jumped forward and attempted to thrust his nether blade into Amelia's chest, hoping to take out the girl then and there.

Singed was fending off most of Cho’gats attacks but truth to be told it proved quite difficult to stop the advance of something so massive even with strength beyond human what was Viktor doing? Then the truth landed on him the herald was doubting himself, the words from the crimson titan had planted the seed of doubt on the mind of his associate. This angered beyond anything that had happened that night, how could a bunch of savage creature understand the underlying beauty and complexity of the herald creations? How could they say something they could like they could make them more powerful if he was that ugly creature fighting using only his body and some primitive magic? “You need to get on your place you fucking flea” After saying those words Singed boldly put himself directly under Cho’gats center of gravity in order to be able to fling him like on the fields even of the beast was many times heavier than himself. “Yes humans are flawed, and yes life sucks and everyone could die for what I care, but that’s the fun thing about life.” “Nothing has any value except for the value that you give to it. No one will protect what you value except you no one will realize your dreams except yourself and if something is silver spoon feed to you…you will never feel satisfied with the results even if is what you wanted." “Tell me herald would you feel satisfied with your glorious evolution if it became just a mean to enslave humanity instead of a meant of ascension? Would you be able to call yourself a liberator while your creations are used only to subjugate?” “Would you be satisfied with what are you working if it wasn’t a child of your mind but the machinations of some creature that can’t even see anything but power on your designs?” Then Singed took a deep breath. “Yes we are human. Yes we are flawed. And yes were a weak species that doesn’t even want to get stronger, but even then we have more potential that any of your empty promises of power and that potential is science” “Remember herald remember those cruel days and how you lost everything and remember how that didn’t destroyed you but make you far stronger that this beast. Remember that those that are always at the top aren’t the strong, but those that have lost everything and crawled back to reclaim what is theirs.” After that speech to relief his anger he faced Cho’gath. "Now is your turn to suffer I will capture you and use you as a Guinean pig.” It was a semi bluff he was exhausted and didn’t knew if the speech had any effect on the herald but reinforcements were to come any second now.
Cho'Gath broke free of the glue and worked on turning the herald more against Singed. Being called "flea" by humans is becoming a nuisance.
" Humanity will never change, Herald. This chemist has killed thousands without even a thought about it, and he attempts reason? Your goals were achived through the pain and sufefring of others, chemist. They would never accept your Glorious Evolution...they would throw you away for attempting it, you are crazy to humans. Even now, they only care for your inventions and nothing more." He growls at Singed. " You are used by them in times of crisis. You would have purpose in the void...none would question your technological genius, your resources would be unending. Countless test subjects. And all would fall to Evolution. Humanities offers you nothing, but the void offers you everything..." Cho'gath trailed off when Singed threatened to capture him. How dare he even speak to me as such?
" I grow tired of you...your soul will feed the void, you will be MINE in death" Cho'Gath growled but restrained from attacking...he was stalling.
The Herald continued to stand still as he watched the others going at it, Kassadin trying to get through to Amelia and Singed attempting to subdue Cho'Gath. The augmented Zaunite heard Singed's words of response to Cho'Gath's, and for the briefest of moments he believed what the Chemist had said. However, soon the Terror of Void clarified something that Viktor had been dreading all along. People didn't care about him or his goal, people only wanted his inventions for their own use. It didn't matter what he created, humanity would only use his genius to feed their egos and indulge themselves.
Humanity was already on a path to its own destruction, one from which it only detracted slightly and at random due to the actions of the few genuinely good people in the world. Viktor had once been one of these people, genuinely wanting to make the world a better with his designs. He had once hoped to improve Valoran, by first redeeming Zaun in the eyes of the rest of the land through cleaning it and ridding it of the chemical taint that plagued it. The Herald's mind was now a mess of thoughts derived from both of his selves, the original Viktor who wanted to better the world and the current Viktor who wanted nothing more than to make Valoran undergo a grand transcendence beyond their biological deficiencies.
Ultimately, Viktor reasoned that he couldn't simply remain inactive during this small skirmish. He had to act in one way or another, despite his beliefs and his doubts. Actions spoke louder than words, and he hadn't come this far just to do nothing. So he acted, firing a Death Ray at Kassadin to stop him from piercing the girl's chest. He then charged forward and tackled the Voidwalker to the ground, his left hand crackling with power as he smashed it against the other's respirator device.

The tail would retract back into her body, the bladed tendrils on her shoulders doing the same. Her hands return to resembling human hands... She slumps to her knees and falls to the side... It seems she had blacked out.

Cho'Gath flicked his gaze on the girl, it also appeared Viktor had chosen his side... good. He ignored Singed and essentially begun to retreat away from him to the portal and snapped over to Viktor. Zuan would be in uproar, it was time to leave before what Singed said became a reality. He decided it was best to ignore the Chemist...his insults would come back to bite him later.
He looked to be retreating to the portal, but with Viktor not attacking, kassidin distracted, and singed being across the room, he diverted and scooped up Amelia in his Pincer while kass and viktor fought it out, quite the distraction Viktor was. "Your coming with me. " He proclaimed to her limp body and quickly retreated to the portal, turning back to Viktor for a moment.
" Your new life awaits...don't deny yourself the chance, Viktor. The humans will betray you again and again...the void is loyal to its Denizens." He turned and tossed Amelia through and began to enter himself, turning back to see if Viktor would follow.
" My patience is thin, stop playing with that fool. His time is later." He growled, having no urge to be captured by Singed and his goons.
Viktor had to choose his allegiance, to humanity. Or to the void.

Searing pain. Burned clothing. Kassadin got caught by surprise by Viktor's beam. Any other human would have been split in two by its power, but not Kassadin. The null stones that adorned his armor thankfully absorbed most of the attack's damage.
Viktor was charging towards him at full speed and the void-infused girl was flying towards the portal.
He had to act now.
Kassadin jumped to his left, sheathed his nether blade, and positioned his arms in front of his chest, as if to catch something. I will not- His speech was cut short by a purple flash and an alien sound. In the blink of an eye, Kassadin appeared flying towards Amelia. - let you have her, Cho'Gath! Kassadin caught Amelia before she could enter the portal and rolled on the floor, shielding her from the impact with his own body. After the fall, he rose to his feet and, placed Amelia over his left shoulder, and unsheathed his nether blade once again. I will not let the Void claim more souls to enslave. He raised his blade and pointed it towards Viktor. As for you, Herald, I see where your true allegiances lie. I did not think, even for a second, that you despised humanity so much that you would turn against it in favor of the Void. You are no better than that blinded fool, Malzahar. And if you follow his trail, I will destroy you, for Valoran's sake.

The time was up even if the giant was trying to escape before the reinforcements came it was to late for that. Before anyone could react a rain of bullets came flying towards the crimson giant from behind a wall. During his skirmishes with the titan Singed had planted a tracking devise on Cho’gath and now his soldiers were using the coordinates to shoot him to hell from a safe distance the only down side is if someone was caught on the crossfire they wouldn’t be able to notice. Singed used his shield to cover from the ricochet while running towards Kassadin after getting there he threw one weird locking card to the rift walker. “Hey void walker use your teleporting power to get her to my mansion that is a safe place and everyone knows how to fend of inveders with that card they will know you are a visitor.”“Get out of here before you get caught on the hell I’m about to unleash on this beast,”
Viktor's assault had ended up having no effect on the tide of the current battle, as the Voidwalker managed to evade his hand. Even so, however, the Herald was not so dumb as to have no follow up prepared in such a case. As Kassadin rushed for the girl, so, too, did Viktor, as the Machine Herald willed all available power into his techmaturgical augmentations in order to close the distance between himself and Kassadin.
Viktor was now experiencing a furious maelstrom of different emotions, but the only thought on his mind was to keep that girl from harm. His speed allowed him to easily clear Kassadin's blade, his armored form colliding with the Voidwalker's, and causing the girl to fly a short distance onto the ground - a move meant to put her out of harm's way, as Kassadin had no intention of letting the girl live if she did not resist the Void's calling.
"As I said to the Terror of the Void, Voidwalker, I. Will. Not. Let. You. Have. Her!"
The rush that Viktor was now feeling was almost too much, but he had no intention of relenting whatsoever. He didn't care about anything else now, only to take the girl and see where her potential could go. He would let nobody else have her, not Cho'Gath, not Kassadin, not even Singed. All of them were his enemies if they would prevent him from giving the girl a chance to realize her true potential, one that excluded the machinations of humans.
