Locations/Replays:
«Scene: Hero carries a pile of bones while walking down the hall and bumps into Sally, dropping all of the bones.»
Sally: HEY! Watch where you're going numbskull!
Hero: Whoops, I am so sorry little girl, I didn't mean to…
Sally: LITTLE GIRL!?!?!?!
Sally: I am SALLY! Supreme Necromantress of The tower of Necromancy!
Hero (thinking): That voice is familiar….
Sally: Oh…. It's you! Y'know, you're the first person ever to make it to the top of my Tower.
«Hero nods.»
«Screen zooms out to reveal Noxus standing next to Sally.»
Sally: Surprise! Iiiiiiiit's Noxus! My favoritiest, most bestest project since I found the Necropolis!
Sally: He's taught me sooooo much!
Noxus: Indeed. You have proven to be a most studious pupil.
Noxus: And you, Hero. You have joined our ranks, then? Interesting…
Noxus: I am not surprised. I heard you were instrumental in putting Artix into prison.
Hero: Well… yes, but -
Noxus: With Vordred on his way to Lightguard Keep now, there is no use for Artix's allies to try to save him.
Noxus: Everything is going according to plan!
Hero (thinking): Not if I can help it!
Noxus: Well, I best be getting back to my chamber. Gotta get ready for the end of the world.
Noxus: Oh, Sally…
Noxus: Join me in my office for a moment. And you, Hero, if you are not busy with class?
«Scene fades.»
… Noxus and Sally discuss garbled mystical concepts and theories to aid in Noxus' plans…
While you try to remember EpiCafe's lunch menu for tomorrow until…
«Scene: Hero, Sally and Noxus stand in Noxus' office.»
Hero: Did you say that Vordred was immune to Light according to what you found in the Ruins?
Noxus: Yes. All sorts of vital information and knowledge can be found in them.
Noxus: No one knows where it's located, and this is the only map to show the directions.
«Noxus pulls out a badly drawn map.»
Hero: It's dangerous to leave that lying around! I'm just going to… borrow it…
«Hero is handed the map.»
Hero: So I can go… destroy it… and keep Heroes from… using it… yeah.
Hero: I'll be right back!
«Hero runs from the room.»
«Scene fades.»
Meanwhile, on the way to Lightguard Keep…
«Scene: A knight runs in to Lightguardkeep, where three other knights are standing around.»
Knight: RUN! They've breached the Keep's walls! RUUNNN!!
«Scene fades to black.»
Skeletal Knights: Eeeeehee hee hee hee hee!
Knight: It… it…. it's Vordred, the Paladin Slayer! Runnnn!
«Vordred's face appears on the screen.»
Vordred: I CAN SENSE ARTIX'S AXE. HE MUST BE NEAR… FIND HIM!
«Scene: Knight inside Lightguard Keep.»
Knight: Elite Undead are inside the Keep! Retreat!
Vordred: AHHH. HERE MY MINIONS. IN THE PRISON….
«Scene fades.»
«Scene: Vordred, some skeletal minons, and Vayle are in the prison. Vayle holds the Blinding Light of Destiny.»
Vordred: WHERE IS ARTIX!?
Vayle: You're too late, Paladin Slayer.
Vordred: DO NOT PLAY GAMES WITH ME. WHERE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Vayle: *smirks* He escaped an hour ago… ironically, to find and battle YOU.
Vordred: IMPOSSIBLE. HE WOULD NOT LEAVE WITHOUT HIS AXE, THE BLINDING LIGHT OF DESTINY.
Vayle: You don't know him very well, Vordred. You are the most powerful undead being in the world.
Vayle: Artix would hunt you in his underpants armed only with a toothpick.
Vordred: I CARE NOT WHAT HE WEARS WHEN HE FALLS TO MY WEAPON.
Vordred: HE IS THE ONLY THING LEFT THAT I NEED….
Vayle: …
Vordred: I KNOW OF YOUR HISTORY WITH HIM VAYLE.
Vordred: WHY DID YOU NOT SLAY HIM WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE?
Vayle: Unlike the Hero and the foolish Knights of this Keep, I know what you will become if he dies now.
Vordred: YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE TURNED YOUR BACK ON THE DARKNESS, VAYLE.
Vordred: MINIONS, SEIZE HER!
«The skeletal minions advance on Vayle.»
Vordred: NOW, GIVE ME THE BLINDING LIGHT OF DESTINY….
«Vayle hands the Blinding Light of Destiny to Vordred, but it burns Vordred when he touches it.»
Vordred: ARGHHHH!
Vayle: What!? … I thought you were immune to Light based attacks.
Vordred: I AM.
Vordred: THIS…THIS IS NOT LIGHT.
Vayle: Impossible! How did I not see this before…
«Close up on the Blinding Light of Destiny. Spirit orbs flutter around it and flicker in and out of sight, revealing that the axe was originally gray.»
Vordred: SO THIS IS ARTIX'S LITTLE SECRET… I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW HE COULD CAST PALADIN SPELLS!
Vayle: There are so many… like moths around a flame.
Vordred: HAH HAA HAAAA HAAAAA! THE SPIRIT ORBS HE FREES FROM THE UNDEAD FOLLOW HIM…
Vayle: So… this is really just a common metal BattleAxe?
Vayle: How many SpiritOrbs does it take to make this appear to be gold and glowing?
Vayle: Thousands…. ?
Vordred: NO… HA HA HA MILLIONS!
Vordred: WHICH MAKES THIS SO MUCH MORE SATISFYING.
«Vordred corrupts the Blinding Light of Destiny, turning it into the ShadowReaper of Doom.»
Vordred: BEHOLD, THE SHADOWREAPER OF DOOM!
Vordred: FITTING. I WILL SLAY BOTH ARTIX AND THE HERO WITH THIS…
Vayle (thinking): This is bad… really bad.
Vordred: MY MINIONS… FALL BACK TO CAMP. HA HA WE WILL SIMPLY WAIT FOR THE FINAL BATTLE TO COME TO US THERE.
Vayle: You're…just leaving!?
«Close up of Vordred.»
Vordred: YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE LADY VAYLE. IF I SUCCEED.…
«Scene fades.»
«Scene: Sally and Noxus in Noxus' office.»
Noxus: …if he succeeds, LightGuard Keep and the rest of the world will no longer matter.
Sally: *Giggles* I can't wait for everyone in the world to become undead.
Sally: This is going to be super fun!
Sally: … don't you think Hero?
Sally: Hero?
Sally: HERO!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
«Scene fades.»
