The darkness fell upon Garen Crownguard - a familiar darkness that he had seen innumerable times on the Fields of Justice. He could see no further than the tip of his sword, and beyond the veil of shadows he could only hear the panicked cries of his fellow Demacians and the vicious howls of the enemy. He would never get used to this darkness. It was terrifying, no two ways about it. No matter. He would pull through, as he always had. As Demacia has always had. The Might of Demacia would prevail.
"Dauntless Vanguard!" He called out into the darkness, knowing that the men he led would respond. "Stay in vision of your brothers! They wish to isolate us, make us afraid, and pick us off one by one. Do not give them that chance! Demacians stand together, now and forever! Teach these monsters why it is we are called 'Dauntless'!"
So what if it was terrifying? There was nothing wrong with being afraid. Fear kept his senses sharp. All that mattered was having the courage to forge on in spite of fear. Garen would not be found wanting for courage.
"DEMACIA!" Garen roared, charging into the foul creatures that had broken through the walls of his shining city blade first, his Vanguard following close behind. He could only see to the tip of his sword, but that was far enough for him to be able to identify his enemy, and any enemy foolish enough to cross his line of sight would quickly learn what it meant to make an enemy of Demacia.

"Is this hell really going to blow over, Commander?" The pathfinders were still concerned. But the first men from the other teams were coming in, just not terrified. "Even if it isn't, soldier, We called our brothers in arms here, so we must show strength. The first ones are already arriving. Hang on, the SECOND We see further than our arm, they'll pay. Horribly."
Grouped-up Pathfinders: 42/72
I am a Pathfinder. I will do what everyone else thinks below him, because someone must do it. Call me dishonorable for it all you want. I serve justice, not honor. And Demacia, ofcourse.
Jarvan nodded as Lux followed him. "She must not make it to the palace." Protective rage burned within him. He would crush anything that threatened his family. He continued to follow the sound of rocks skittering away. "Show yourself Widowmaker, you can't escape me."
The prince held his lance at the ready in front of him. He slashed down any undead that lay in his path, sending them toppling over the wall or cleaving them in half. Any hair that wasn't covered by his helm flew about wildly as he moved. The dark ends of it curled from the rain and stuck to his helm and skin. The cut on his cheek from where possessed Belle shot him reopened and began to bleed.

Confused as to how Lux had followed Jarvan through the darkness when she had already led Jarvan away Evelynn's eyes narrow. It would be stupid to stick around if Lux with there, within the shadows she cloaks herself with dark magics, now invisible to the naked eye she quietly made her way elsewhere. No evidence that she had actually been there remained.
Jarvan grunted in frustration as the evidence of Evelynn disappeared. He still wanted to follow her though, he would not risk having a threat like that within his city. "Lux, find a high spot a snipe the undead. I am going to sweep the inside of Demacia."
The prince took a deep breath in and continued by himself. He was ready for a fight, weather it was from Evelynn or the undead warriors.
Mordekaiser had seen the blasts made by Lux. Oh, how he wanted to just grab her, tear her limb from limb, hear her scream, and watch her soul mercilessly kill her own brother as the Might of Demacia would implore her to stop her actions. He wanted it so badly, but he knew better than to hold his temptations down.
Each soldier that got near him died a swift yet painful death. His steel armor was not a metallic grey anymore. No... No no no, it was a crimson red. Crunch after crunch, his mace smashed men into the earth, leaving small craters with the men inside of them, only to have them rise in the name of their slayer, The Master of Metal. His shield never wavered, making him practically INVINCIBLE. When a chunk of his shield had been depleted, it would be grown back with a quick Siphon of Destruction. They cried at the blast as they fell down and came back up once more, their eyes glowing red like their master. He turned around to a group of soldiers, smiling darkly at the group. He charged his mace up with his spell Mace of Spades, before tossing his mace at the group. It hit them hard as the explosion from the contact had blasted them to the ground. Sadly though, it was hard to re-raise them... Mostly because they were mutilated chunks of flesh, and chunks of flesh couldn't fight well. Though having his mace over there and him being over here wasn't a problem. He had spikes on his knuckles after all, and there was no better time to use them than now. Now, his arms were swinging about, punching soldiers left and right with the spiked knuckles. The puncture of the spikes could be very deadly, but the sheer impact and drive of his fists would do MORE than enough to finish them off. Bodies flew left and right as he kept bringing them down one by one. Soon, soldiers began to gang up on him, swinging at his armor from all sides. All he could do was laugh loudly, the sound of his deep, dark, sinister voice ringing into their ears making them step back in fright. Lightning shot around him as metal shards swirling around him, his Creeping Death shield tearing down the soldiers, filling his shield once more. The champions could most likely hear his loud laugh of torment, followed by the screams and cries of agony in unison.
He had ran forward, knocking those out of his way, even impaling a soldier with the horn on his helmet, before tearing him in two as the blood poured every. He tossed the mangled body aside before lifting up his mace. He turned around to back hand slap a soldier, surprisingly decapitating the man. He snorted slightly before seeing the Might of Spinning Tops enter the battle ground as he cut down their ranks. He snarled, how dare he think he could go in here and swipe down the soldiers HE had raise. With a battle roar, one that Garen could here quite well, he put his mace out in front of him, ball and spikes first, and began charging forward and knocking down those who stood in his way, enemies AND allies. The loud thud of his steps and the sounds of bones crunching beneath him were audible, and Garen could probably sense that the Master of Metal was coming at him full speed ahead, ready to bash his face in with his mace.

Garen closed his eyes and slowed his breathing, willing his other senses to pick up the slack where his sight had failed until he could pick out even the sound of his own heartbeat against the cacophony of war. Filtering out the pointless noise, the crunch of metal against metal stood out to him as it drew closer towards him quickly, purposefully. The captain's eyes snapped open as the roar of what he could clearly identify now as the Master of Metal rang through his bones.
The man-shaped monster charged at Garen, a beast of steel of power covered in Demacian blood. A creature that could swat an ordinary man aside with no more than a wave of his giant mace. Fortunately, Garen Crownguard was no ordinary man.
He stood his ground.
Dunking under the swing of Mordekaiser's mace, Garen raised his sword overhead, blocking the huge bludgeon with his own weapon. Stepping inside the range of the armoured... thing, Garen drove himself forward, shoulder first right towards Mordekaiser's gut, ignoring the pieces of metal spinning around it chipping away at his armour and exposed face. Minor injuries like that would not nearly come close to stopping him.

After seeing the Widowmaker's separation attempt fail and the Prince begin to walk off, Nocturne began to make its move. The effects of the Paranoia on the city would retract as the Nightmare gathered itself before lunging towards Lux. By the time it was midway to the mage, the city would have been returned to normal. However, with the positioning of its blades and the speed of its launch, Lux would have to react quickly to avoid being impaled immediately upon Nocturne's arrival.

Victus rose from his nightmare slowly, ashamed of his behavior while under its effects. Shame turned into rage. This miscreant had DARED to use THAT memory against him.
Victus checked the edge on his sword. Sharp. Good. He had not hurt it in his fit. Time for vengeance. The Knight told him to find Champions and aid them, but again, the Barbarian won out. Victus didn't open the door to leave this inn, he kicked it down. Whatever dead he saw leaving that in was going to be in for a reckoning.
Victus let out a shout. "FOR BRIGHTBLADE!!!" and went to work hacking and slashing his way twoards whatever was the loudest human cries. The Pathfinders would hear a feral howl as the Black Knight fought his way towards them.
"C'mon, you rotting bastards! Send me more of your putrid filth! I will BATHE in your gore! I will piss on your graves! You may have slain my kin, but I LIVE. COME AND FIX YOUR MISTAKE IF YOU CAN!" Victus hardly seemed to note the Pathfinders. He was just cutting through the endless stream of corpses.
He cut down three corpses in one swing and started laughing darkly and wickedly. He was relishing this emotion. He would savor this hatred. Then he would turn it against ALL who wronged him.
Legion' attention was all over the battle field. He had host fighting along side Thresh, Mordekaiser and Hecarim. It also had masses of Legionnaires combating the Demacians along side the regular troops. The hive mind watched as the paranoia was dissipating and realized its advantage in this fight was greatly dwindled, for it would only take Lux a well aimed shot to deal massive damage to it. Then Legion heard the shouts of Victus, the man that was dragged to losing his reason. It gathered the turned Brightblade's together and marched them towards Victus and the pathfinders. Their weapons drawn and ready, their eyes glowed a ghostly orange as they made their way to their destination. Victus' charge and shouts may bolster the morale of the remaining defenders, it would be in it's best interest to make that a non issue.
"We are the King's Legion. Fear us, for we are many. Join us, for you will die. There is no sweeter mercy we can grant than your release from the mortal coil."

A single ray of light came through the darkness. And it started getting bigger, meanwhile the terrors started leaving the minds. The remaining pathfinders quickly found their way to the others. But only half of them were left.
The commander wanted to speech, but then a scream came. "What the hell was that scream? That wasn't an undead, but no one sane would yell like that in a fight like this. Then he saw the man. Or more like, he saw a whirlwind larger than the mob of skeletons. He was about to speak up, when Lucas, who had noticed the warrior too surprised everyone.
Brothers! These monstrosities slay our brethren, desecrate our fallen, slaughter our civilians! They stop at nothing. SO WHY WOULD WE?! Lucas drew his sword PATHFINDERS! DEMACIANS! SHOW THEM THE SAME MERCY THEY SHOW US! AVENGE OUR BRETHREN! OUR LIFE, OUR HONOR, ANYTHING, EVERYTHING, FOR DEMACIA! NOW AND IN ALL ETERNITY!
Then Lucas noticed a cart "That insane warrior needs help, and he's proving a fine distraction. Lets help him with this cart. I'll take it here, Five others, help push it." The commander spoke up, short and to the point. "We've dealt with masses before. Checkered formation, leave each other enough room to dodge, and cover holes they leave. Don't be afraid to pull back, They are the ones going to be cornered. Remember, One step back, two steps forward, We can, they can't."
The cart slowly started to move into the street. And then suddenly, it sped up. Victus, and any undead that turned around, would see a rather big cart charging at them, no intent of stopping. The pathfinders powering it let loose to get in formation and watch it crash into the lines. Lucas, as usual, took the frontal leftmost position.

Victus cut down one rotting ghoul and then saw the cart flying his way. Too fast to dodge, Victus grabbed a ghoul that was just slightly to his left and used it to charge the cart, slamming the ghoul into the cart. The cart still pushed Victus back several feet, but the ghoul was destroyed and Victus was not seriously injured. His arms and back ached, but he would be able to continue the fight. Victus turned back to the horde gathering around him.
"Come on then. Try to stop me. How many will it take?" he growled savagely. Then he saw a group advance behind the horde...men in black and red with a demonic fire in their eyes.
Grief and rage surged into Victus's mind. Why? Why me? Why must I suffer? Why must they all die? Why am I always alone? His mind fully fracturing into two personas.
'No. I am not a Brightblade. I am a Grimcleaver these are just more corpses to lay low.' The Barbarian growled within Victus's mind.
'I am a Grimcleaver just as much as I am a Brightblade and Ironwill. These were the closest I had to family in years. They were my shield brothers. They were my family.' The Knight argued.
'WERE. These corpses are governed by the things that took them away! They are plotting to take everything away! I will not sit by and allow it! I couldn't fight for Grimcleaver, I wasn't there for Brightblade, but I am here now and I will not allow this!' The Barbarian shouted within Victus's mind.
Victus slipped from his normal frame of mind. The world went red, the pain went away, and an urge to cleave foes asunder unlike any he had ever felt. Not vengeance. Bloodlust. Death was no threat to this being. It forsake any form of defense. This was the Barbarian, and it believed in laying foes low over protecting itself. This was his inheritance.
Victus charged into the horde, each blow he took enraged him further as he retaliated against those who stroke him. The only noise he made, besides his blade crunching in the weaker dead, was the clanking of his armor. He was fighting his way to the Brightblade dead, and slowly but surely he was making a hole.
