"Hrmph..." muttered Kennen. "He should have been here by now. At this rate I'll win for sure!"
Kennen was impatiently awaiting Rammus's arrival at the outskirts of the Kinkou Sanctuary. He was still contemplating the ridiculous challenge that had been set forth. Where Rammus had gotten the idea to race him from, Kennen wasn't sure. He had agreed, however. He needed a break from Zed constantly breathing down his neck.
The distance they had agreed upon was slightly absurd- from here all the way to Bandle City. But with a couple of airships and a few rest stops along the way, they would be fine. Unless, of course, something were to go wrong. But the thought was insane, right?
"That's it! I'm not waiting any longer!" he shouted to no one in particular. As he walked back, though, he heard something loud come stomping along the path.

Enter the Armordillo. His entrance was jumpy and wobbly and this "okay" League champion looks around the Kinkou Temple. His expression is bored as usual with his arms playfully flailing in the wind.
No one knows what's inside Rammus' enigmatic head. He's a being with little to no words and the static facial expression does not hint out his inner thoughts and feelings. All he looks like is some rusty turtle who can roll with the flow.
"Hey!" comes out of his deep, calm, rusty voice as he looks down to his small...furry...and affectionally cute yordle.

"Hey yourself," was the reply. Kennen was mildly annoyed by the Armordillo's method of speech. He personally preferred to be talking all the time.
"Everything's in order. The airships are out at the edge of the island, the landing spot has been confirmed, and Bandle City knows we're coming." Kennen wanted to get going. He had important matters to attend to at the Sanctuary.
Jax arrived at the outskirt of the kinkou temple,having been invited by rammus to go a race,it seemed kennen was also gonna be on a race with them too.
"Turn back?no way you can intimidate both of us,dude" Jax said to kennen,looking around the place,waiting for the race to start.
"Wha..." started Kennen, unsure of what had happened.
Two opponents? Well, I guess I'll look better if I beat both of them! He thought.
"You're lucky we have a spare airship out there," Kennen muttered, "or you wouldn't be able to race."
He was tapping his foot impatiently. He wanted to go, and now. One more formality, and they would be off and running.
"Now," he said, focusing his attention on Rammus, "you still have the chance to turn back."
But Rammus isn't going to back down. Especially not to some lamp-pooner or a gerbil high on electricity. Even if Kennen's cute, the armadillo is still hell bent to win.
He smirks at Kennen with a show of swagger. Rammus maneuvers behind the ninja yordle so that he'll find himself between two giant League champions.
Rammus crosses his arms with sheer force of determination, looks at Jax and then back to Kennen and grumbles, "It's on!
"Well then," said Kennen, ducking out from between the two, "we'd best get started."
He pulled out a shuriken and used it to draw a line in the dirt. "Toes on the line." he barked. He waited for his opposition to take their spots, before getting on it himself.
"And remember the rules." He focused on Rammus. "I can only use my lightning rush, and you can only use your powerball." He then peered over at Jax. "As for you... leap strike, I guess. Just try not to whack anybody's skull in."
He bounced a couple of times to loosen himself up, then focused in on the path. "Three..." he started, shifting himself into a better takeoff position.
"Two..." He continued, putting away his shuriken.
"One..." He was totally prepared. His entire body was loose, ready to spring into action.
"GO!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. His takeoff was flawless, and he was gone.

"GO!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. His takeoff was flawless, and he was gone.
By the time Kennen shouted out GO!, Rammus receives a moment of panic and stumbles on the ground with his armor shell pinning him to the ground. This is the worst way to start out a race. Probably by now, Jax has taken off too and gone. The other Kinkou warriors watching the entire race might be laughing at the blushing Armordillo. Out of all of this...this has to happen?
He slowly gets up from the ground and wobbles himself back to position. Instead of Powerballing back to the race, Rammus starts to run! His strong yet flabby arms flail as he desperately tries to catch up to the race, to the point where it looks like Rammus is trying to fly. He pants and groans as he runs (it actually looks like he's jogging) towards the horizon.

As Jax heard the signal from kennen to go,he quickly ran,strangely he didn't heard rammus at all near him,as he turned his head a little,he saw how rammus was for some reason running instead of powerballing,having a hard time running too.
He couldn't help but laugh a little,before keeping on running.

Kennen peaked behind himself. Jax was keeping up quite nicely, but Rammus was bumbling around behind Jax. In spite of this, he was managing to keep pace. "He must have been training..." mumbled Kennen.
He looked back ahead and barely avoided a tree, nerves tensing as he did so. C'mon! Gotta stay focused!
While keeping an eye on his surroundings, he plotted out his timeline. From his current location to the takeoff point on the beach would be five minutes, it would be a half-hour trip on the airship, then about five minutes from the landing point in southeastern Noxus to the Great Barrier. Crossing the great Barrier would not be an easy task, and the time was uncertain. From there they would pass through the Shurima Desert near Icathia. After crossing the Sablestone mountains, it would be fifteen or twenty minutes to the finish line.
All of these estimations would only apply if nothing went wrong. And this was Valoran, the land of stuff going wrong.

A spiked ball reaches Jax and closes the distance between it and Jax. It's gaining speed, especially when they're racing at the downhill terrain. The ball hums as the spikes and the ground constantly clash each other. The spiked ball passes by Jax, leaving a trail of dust for the Grandmaster at Arms to eat and breath at.
Then if Kennen were to look back, he could see a spiked ball closing the distance. Kennen would first gain a slight advantage but the ball closes in on Kennen.
The ball and Kennen are next to each other. The kinetic energy put into the race is beyond what anyone could imagine. But the ball soon reaches a ramp and launches itself into the air, flying past the speedy Heart of the Tempest!
The ball uncurls himself to reveal...LO AND BEHOLD! Rammus! And in a playful insulting gesture, he sticks out his tongue in front of the ninja before curling himself back into a ball and striking the ground once more so that he could distance himself from Kennen.

"So you HAVE been training, Rammus!" cried Kennen. Thinking quickly, he leapt off the ground and focused his energy into his cells. Electricity began to crackle along his skin, and he started to speed up. He achieved his full transformation in less than a second, turning into a ball of lightning hovering above the ground and phasing through all obstacles.
Rammus remained in front, however. Kennen took another, safer look backwards, and saw Jax quickly falling away. He'd make his move soon, Kennen could tell. The question was: who would he target?
Rammus rolls away from Kennen and Jax. Victory is in his sights already! Bandle City may be far away but to Rammus, the trophy just within hand's reach. Another ramp catapults Rammus into the sky and he uncurls himself to stick his tongue out again. He already won the race.
But the funny, insulting, arrogant turtle finds himself crashing into a tree and getting himself stuck there. As Kennen and Jax near Rammus, he couldn't imagine the stupid embarrassment he's going to be in when the two sees Rammus stuck on a tree. He pulls out a massive comeback only to find out that victory doesn't mean getting stuck into a tree.

Kennen's energy reservoirs were completely drained. He was forcefully thrown out of his lightning state and went back to sprinting. Leaping over a small cliff, he saw Rammus lodged in a tree a little way off of the path. Smiling, he sprinted past and gazed ahead. He could just barely make out the outlines of the airships on the beach.
