Chapter 69

~~~~~

POV: Evelynn

Part 1.

The sun was setting, the sky slowly starting turning dark. The girls and I were in the living room with (Y/n)'s mom and dad, along with Ashe. We're waiting on dinner to finish up in the oven then we'll set the table. Glasses of wine scattered around the room, (Y/n)'s dad having a glass of scotch in his hand.

"Looks like we can have dinner without (Y/n) and Akali, apparently they got invited to a party in short notice" Ahri says aloud.

"If it's a barn party he's going to, he won't be home for a while. You think your city parties are good? You haven't seen what happens when you get a bunch of young adults with big toys and room to use'em" His dad says with a hearty laugh.

"I don't think darling is really the parting type, a social person sure but not a fun and drunk seeker" I say then take a sip from my glass.

Kai'sa then speaks up "Yeah, the couple of parties we have been to, he'd just hold a glass and watch over us"

"Of course he would, he's your bodyguard, being protective and observing" April replies.

"Like when we were at Taric's club" Sona adds.

"My son has always been protective, especially of little Ashe, Caitlyn's had Vi at her hip since middle school so he never got the chance to be that with her" His dad says as he swished his scotch in its glass.

"Then when he got ahold of April, he essentially became the equivalent of a man sized guard dog" Qiyana says with a giggle.

"Qiyana!, poor choice of words girl. (Y/n) was not like a dog" April says with a playful offended tone as she elbowed Qiyana a bit.

"Don't boo me cause I'm right. Didn't matter what he was doing, you call he always came" Qiyana says, playfully smirking as she sipped her wine.

"Should have seen my wife back in the day, some times she made me feel like she was protecting me"His dad says with a laugh.

His mom sips some wine "That's cause Mary and Jane couldn't keep their greasy mitts off my man"

"I think we know now where he gets his protectiveness from now" I mention to Ahri.

"Indeed" She replies back.

As we continued to talk. I notice Ahri begin to act strangely. Her fox ears peeking up along with her head looking all around. She hears something, I then started to feel a dangerous aura. An aura similar to that of blood lust.

"Ahri. You sense something too" I speak.

"Someone dangerous is near, and they have friends" Ahri replies.

A second later, the power goes out, leaving us in the dark "A power outage? That odd, guess I'll go start up the generator" His dad says as he stands up.

Then, the sound of glass breaking echoes out from all over the house. The house then began to fill with smoke. Before I had any real time to react, everyone was coughing then slowly started to slump to the floor unconscious. I cover my nose and transformed into my shadow form, then going into a corner of the room. Lucky for me, I have resistance to most forms of magic and chemicals that both nullify powers and put people to sleep. A couple lasers then shine through the room from different entry ways along with the sound of respirators and boots thumping on the wood floor. A few figures in soldier like uniforms enter the room.

"Clear" One of them speak.

A large man then walks in with a gas mask on his face, dirty blond hair in a braid and tattoos along his whole body from what I could see as he was shirtless and in shorts "What a shame, none of them is the Beast himself" He crouched down near April and lifts her up a bit "I do know you, and he cares very much about you"

"This man is dangerous, he's the source of the aura I felt. I don't think I can fight him on my own. I need to get out of here" I notice I left my phone where I was sitting "And I won't be able to call (Y/n) either"

Part 2.

POV: You

Akali and I ride with the dark amber sky above us and the roar of mustang's engine echoing through out the valley. While arriving at our destination, from the road you could see a lit up barn covered in lights, outside of it were cars and people with the sound of music playing.

"Here we are" I say, turning into the gravel road that lead up to the barn.

"I feel like I'm gonna stand out a bit, ya know being Ionian and all" Akali says as she looked forward.

"You'll be fine Akali" I tell her as I pulled up to the barn and put the car in park "Oh, one thing Akali"

"What is it?" She asks.

I smile "You look good, so don't be nervous" I then open the door and step out of the car.

People looked our way, my car already being a head turner. After getting out of the car, Akali came by my side. We walked inside the barn, music, alcohol and people were all around, some dancing, some talking, and some just focused on drinking. Towards the back of the barn, talking to some people was a man with dark skin and dreads tied back, a defined face and in his hand was a beer. As I walked towards him the man notices me.

"Eh, how's it been my brotha?" He says with a smile.

We do a bro hug "Doing good Lucian, finally got the mustang up and running again"

"Fuckin' sweet, about time you got it on the road again" Lucian says then turned his attention to Akali "And who might this girl be? Somethin' happen between you and April?"

"This is Akali, and no, April and I are still together. We've got this polygamy thing going on so yeah. I've got a hand full of girls that love me" I reply.

"It's not as bad as it might sound" Akali tells Lucian.

Lucian chuckles a bit then pats my back "My man's a playa"

"A respectable one. They love me and I love them" I say.

"I know, I know, if there's someone that can handle that much estrogen, it's you" He says with a laugh.

"That a compliment or an insult?" Akali questions curiously.

"A compliment" Lucian states "Ya know, rumors going around saying some man from the city is trying to buy up land here in the valley, no one's given any up yet but he seems like a persistent one"

"I heard, got confused for being that man earlier today, some hot headed punks is all though. The forced me to get a little rough" I tell Lucian and Akali frowns a bit.

"You didn't hurt them did you?" Akali questions.

"I gut checked one guy and back hand the other, I doubt either of them are in need of an ER" I say.

"Tell me again how much you can lift" Akali says plainly as a reminder.

"With how much I've seen you lift, I'm not surprised by her worry" Lucian chuckles deeply then remembers something "I just remembered, I got something for you, stay right here"

Lucian walks away, weaving between people leaving Akali and I alone. We were alone for only a moment, then we watch as people moved for a group as they walked towards our general direction. I soon see the person leading the group. A large male cow vastaya (So a Bull Vastaya), horns sprouting from each side of its head, the horns going out to about his shoulders. On his head was black hair, wearing jeans, cowboy boots, and a black and white patterned flannel, along with a septum piercing in his nose. Some people cheered as they saw the man.

"People seem to like him" Akali mentions my way.

"That's TJ" I reply, knowing the man "He and I have skirmished a few times over some things, we're good though. He also helps my dad out with the ranching from time to time"

"Looks mean to me" Akali states.

"Most normal bulls look that way" I say back with a slight lean.

Lucian comes back up to us with a wooden box about the size of a shoe box, a smile on his face as he steps up to us "Here man, returning the favor" He says as he holds the box out to me

"Returning the favor? What favor?" I questioned as I took the box from him.

"I heard from my folks that you helped them out a great deal when I was gone for the past couple years" Lucian says to me then motions to the box "Go on, open it"

I slowly open the box and to reveal an amazing looking revolver with a gun metal finish and walnut wooden furniture on the handle grip "The hell man, you know I don't need a gun" I say, still smiling at the gift.

"I know, I know, you got them arms and all, but that right there is a Colt Python my brotha, chambered in classic .357 magnum" Lucian tells me with a smile and folded his arms.

"I don't know what else to say, thanks" I say.

"No problem man, by all means, that gun ain't worth even close to what I should but I don't got double digit acreages money" Lucian says and chuckles a bit.

"Well I think it suits you (Y/n), even if you don't need it" Akali says.

"If that what you say Akali" I reply.

TJ and his group walked towards us "Oh shit, look who the cat dragged in, been some time since you've been around 'ere (Y/n) " TJ says. His arm around a female cow vastaya.

"Yeah, been some time, you know me, always busy" I tell him.

"So I hear" He replies.

"Haven' a hood time my man?" Lucian asks TJ.

"Fuck yeah, nice party" TJ smirks.

"Boss, that's the guy who fucked with us earlier" One of the guys points out, the one from earlier that I gut checked.

TJ shakes his head before glancing at the guy "You idiot, you confused him, for a city folk. He's born and raised in this valley, have some damn respect. He may live in the city but he don't forget here he came from. So that's your own fault" TJ tells the man.

"'Course boss" The guy says meekly.

"I'll see ya around (Y/n), I can't be the only one trying to keep this valley ours" TJ says then gives me a bro hug.

"I'll keep this valley ours, no doubt about that" I reply.

TJ and his posey begins moving to another part of the barn to enjoy the party. Akali grabs my hand, smile on her face "You do got other friends besides Garen and the gang" Akali tells me.

"I never told you girls I was a loner" I tell her with a chuckle.

I feel my phone go off in my pocket, with the box in one hand, I grab my phone out with the other, it was a message from April, and it was a photo and a message. I tilt my head a bit in curiosity before opening up the message. I stood there, staring at the screen, Akali saw the long pause as I just looked at my phone.

"(Y/n)...you have a look" She says with concern.

I put my phone back in my pocket and turned to Lucian "Sorry man, Akali and I got to cut out early, got an emergency back out the house" I tell him.

"Copy that, see you around (Y/n)" He tells me and bro hugs me.

Keeping my calm, I begin walking towards the car, Akali following me with concern and worry "(Y/n), what's happening? Did someone get hurt?"Akali questions me.

I get into the drivers seat and shut the door, gripping the steering wheel as I start the mustang. Akali gets into the passengers seat, a panic starting to set in for her as I stayed quiet. I swing the car around then began driving up to the road. I drive on to the road and floored the peddle. Even although I was staying calm, my body language showed cracks. Jaw clenching and gritting, hand locking up on the wheel and shifter.

"You're starting to scare me (Y/n), what happened?!" Akali questions "Speak to me damn it!!!"

"My past is always coming back to haunt me, no matter how hard I run and fight" I tell Akali and she immediately got the picture. I am about to draw blood.

Though I was angry, I was still calm. No beast yelling at me, No unadulterated rage consuming me, no red tint to my world, only anger and my thoughts. I kept thinking back on the message.

"Tonight I am returning the favor, Beast"

Followed by the picture of Holden Recktford, using a hand to hold up an unconscious April by her hair and psychotically licking the side of her face with his other hand trained on her throat.

"I cannot stand people coming after my world"

Part 3

POV: April

I felt my head dangling as I opened my heavy eyes, my hands and legs were restrained as I seemed to be on my knees. I looked around, we were all on the porch of the house facing the large area in front of the house where we park. Everyone else was awake, including (Y/n)'s parents and Ashe, Out of all of us however, I notice that Evelynn isn't with us. I notice a few men in soldier like uniforms with rifles in their hands.

"Everyone's awake now, fantastic" A man says as he walks up to the stairs onto the porch "Pardon, where are my manners, I am Charles Mestral III, CEO of Mestral Pharmaceuticals"

"Why would the CEO of a pharmaceutical company want to do with me and my family's "(Y/n)'s mom questions.

"Excellent question Mrs. Linda (L/n), glad you asked" Charles says with a grin then motions to everything around us as the dark sky hovered above it all "The land you have here is absolutely outstanding when it comes to crops. I'd be able to speed up production of my products if I had the land and access the mana ley lines tied to it"

"Let's us go and get the fuck off my land!" (Y/n)'s dad shouts at the man.

"Mr. Harold, I came by the other day and asked nicely to sell, however your son declined in your stead. Knowing your son, I had no choice but to get physicals" Charles states then looks at me, or, more specifically, past me.

I look up and I see that behind me, was the man that (Y/n) had fought the last time he was in the underground, the one that nearly put him in the ground, I believe his name was Holden.

"Mr. Charles sir, The Beast is on his way as we speak no doubt. Taunted him with thing he care about the most" He says then roughly shakes my head with his large hand.

"What does my son have to do with all this!?!" (Y/n)'s mom shouts.

Charles walks up to (Y/n)'s peens and crouches down a bit "It's simple, if you don't want to sell me your land, I will simply have my friend here beat the life out of him till you are begging me to take your land in stead of his life"

"You're a monster" Ashe speaks up.

"So is your brother, he did not eat the name Beast of Piltover for no reason" Charles replies.

"And what makes you think that (Y/n) will let that happen?" Ahri questions Charles.

"Because, there are other means we have, ways to get him in the ground begging" Holden says then slams a foot down onto one of Ahri's tails making her yelp in pain "Hurting you little girls would do nicely, or perhaps haps we going get biblical"

"Keep your hands off them you psychotic prick" I growl.

"Honey will not all such things to fall to blind eyes and deaf ears" Sona speaks.

Down the dirt road leading up to the house, we see a pair of head lights driving our way "Who do we got here?" Charles speaks.

The vehicle comes into the light of the house lights and we see that it isn't (Y/n)'s mustang, but a silver hummer. The hummer hits the back of the limousine  that was probably Charles'. The driver door swings open and out steps Sarah Fortune, in her hand was a gold pistol. The passenger door opens up and I see a large man with a well kept mustache, wearing a suit, exit from it. He walks around the hummer, opens up the trunk then pulls out a large shield.

"Looks like Sett's assumption was right Braum" Sarah says with her pistol trained on Charles.

"Miss Sarah Fortune, how unexpected for you to be here" Charles says.

"Braum, do you think you can take Holden?" Sarah asks the large man.

"I will do my best Miss Fortune" Braum says.

"I will not fight someone who isn't the Beast of Piltover" Holden says as he walks past me and onto the ground off the porch to approach them.

"Then I'll simply bullet through your skull" Sarah says with her gun aimed at Holden.

"Sad to say but bullets don't affect me too much" Holden says with a grin.

"Perhaps not, but it's effective to them" Sarah says. Sarah quickly fires her pistol four times as she pointed at the soldiers. The soldiers all drops to the ground, blood coming from their skulls "Now it's just you, your CEO and the chauffeur"

"This is not your fight Sarah" Charles says to her as he walked beside Holden.

"I know, it's my boyfriend's, but I'd love to keep his family safe. That would keep him happy" Sarah states. In the distance,  we all hear the roar of an engine, then another repair of head lights can been seen streaking across the dirt road to the house "And there he is, I doubt he will be happy about you being here"

Charles smiles "He won't, but, I will have this land no matter how dirty I have to get my hands"

"April, What's happening here? What's going on? Has (Y/n) gotten into trouble?" (Y/n) mom questions me.

I bite my tongue, my lips trembling, I promised (Y/n) I'd never tell his parents or Ashe about him being a fighter "(Y/n)...has secrets of his own...one's he thought it would be better you didn't know about" I answer.

POV: You

Akali and I sped up the dirt road leading up to the house, I notice some additional cars in front of the house. I drive up and slam on the brakes as see what's going on. My parents, Ashe, and the girls excluding Evelynn were tied up and kneeling on the porch of the house, a few bodies laying near them. In front of me I see Holden and the man from the other night, along with Sarah and Braum.

"Akali, stay in the car" I state seriously.

"O-Okay" She replies, not arguing back.

I turn off the car and I step out of the drivers seat and closing the door. I begin walking up to Holden and his compatriot "Sarah, Braum" I say then looked at the other duo "Holden"

"Let's stay out of his way Miss Fortune" Braum advices "He does not show it but he is about to blow"

"Agreed" Sarah says then the two retreat back to the mustang.

"I'm here, just like you wanted" I say as I looked Holden up and down.

"I am taking this land, willingly or not" The man says.

"Charles, we both know there is only one way this can be settled, so run along to your limo and let me handle business" Holden says, not averting my gaze.

"Of course, I know you won't disappoint" Charles speaks and walks over to his limousine.

"Now, let's get this started, gotta return the favor for ripping off my jaw. Good thing Charles own a pharmaceutical company" Holden says.

"I don't give a fuck about your favor, just the land and world you're trying to take from me and my family" I growl.

Holden laughs "Try? We will, and your family and little girl friends will be left with only a lifeless battered body of you"

"My son! Please! I don't know what's happening but please, stop!!" Mom shouts.

"I'm sorry mom, I didn't want you to see this side of me" I say aloud then took off my shirt and undershirt, my parents and Ashe stare at the scars the covered my body "Let's fucking go you bastard"

"Son!" Dad shouts.

I slam my fist into Holden's chest, a crack being heard as he gets thrown back. He makes bone shoot out from his legs into the ground as he slides back "You've gotten stronger. So have I" Holden says with a grimace on his face.

Holden jumps towards, once he got in range I hit him with a heavy right upper cut. I then grab his left arm and judo throw him to the ground before slamming a right fist into his side, ribs cracking from the punch.  I get on top of him and began an onslaught of blows over and over to his body. I hear my parents yelling in panic, the others watching silently.

"Everyone thinks they can rip my world away from me, but for damn will I let that happen" I say as I crack Holden in the face.

"And you think you're so fucking righteous, we only live in one world, a world where the weak fall in line of the strong, and the strong do what ever they please" Holden cackles as I continued to hit him with blows, he blocked one after another.

"If that's the case, why aren't you falling in line Holden" I tell him. When I say that, a bone spike shoots from his chest, nearly hitting my head "Hit a nerve, weakling"

"Don't patronize me!" Holden shouts. I jump off him and back a little as he swung a fist with spikes coming from it. Holden jumps to his feet, cracking his neck before spitting out a tooth "Call me weak again, I dare you"

I put my fists up "Weak" I state.

Holden rages and charges towards me, he swings and I weave then slammed my fist into his gut. I then grab the sides of his head and crotch down while slamming his head down onto my knee. Then, I throw him over me onto the ground. Holden quickly recovers and sweeps his leg quickly, I would have been able to dodge if he hasn't used a bone extension to hit me. I fall onto the ground and he quickly gets on top of me with his spiked fists.

"Streak of life ends here" Holden says then hits me in my left side.

A sharp pain shoots through my side, feeling a foreign object inside me. He pulls his right fist away, a large spike protruded from it, covered blood.  He tries to stab me again but I grab ahold of his arm. With pure strength, I am able to keep his arm from moving. With my free hand I grab ahold of his neck, squeezing his throat. Holden struggles a bit befor swinging his right fist with a similar spike on it and drove it into my right shoulder.

"You need to work on your aim" I tell him.

As it looked like chocking wasn't doing that much to affect him, I close my fist then one inch punch him in the throat. Holden immediately grabs ahold of his neck, before falling over onto his back. I stand up, blood dripping from my side and my shoulder.

"I thought this fight was going to last longer, truly" I state to a wheezing Holden "However, it seems you were just too confident"

I stomp on Holden's left shoulder, a pop and crash being heard as his left arm go limp. It falls to the ground then I do the same to his other shoulder. Now with both of his arms effectively dislocated due with a broken shoulder, can't do much with no joint.

"Not like this" Holden mutters as he rolls himself into his stomach, trying to use his legs to get up and get away from me.

"Charles, was it?" I question as I looked at the man.

"Y-Yes" Charles answers with a shaky.

"I have a message for you" I state to him.

I grab ahold of Holden by his neck with my right hand. With my left hand, I slam my left fist into Holden's jaw, a the sound of bone being shattered echoing out, teeth fell from his mouth along with a waterfall of blood. I grab ahold of his jaw and rip it off for a second time.

I state down Holden in the eyes, blood shot eyes looking back at me, in this moment Hell's Berserker felt fear "I am going to make sure you never can come back to return another favor"

I swing and shove my left hand down Holden's throat, Holden struggled and gagged. With my arm elbow deep into Holden's throat, struggling in pain, eyes rolling back, I grab ahold of what should be his lungs then quickly retreat my arm, yanking his lungs out from his throat, leaving them there dangling.

"Look who's the weakling" I say as I turned my gaze to Charles.

"H-Hey now, no need to get violent with me, I-I'll be leaving right away" Charles says as he struggles against his limo.

I held onto Holden's body then began dragging it towards Charles, I then threw it towards him, the body hitting the limo "Tell everyone in the underground, if they want land in this valley, they better be prepared to face me, and to take home a dead body" I growl.

"I-I understand, y-you won't see me again" Charles mutters "Also, my chauffeur cleaned up the bodies of my soldiers too. I'll be on my way"

Charles quickly struggles to drag Holden's lifeless body into the limo. The limo then speeds out from in front of the house and down the dirt road. Adrenaline starting to wear off, I clench my side where Holden stabbed me.

"Fuck" I say.

"Lover..." I hear Sarah tell me as she walks up behind me. I turn around holding my side, Sarah stood behind me. I looked past her for a second, seeing the girls worried, my dad and Ashe shocked, my mom crying her heart out "Go patch yourself up...I'll take care of things over here"

"Thank you, Sarah" I reply then began to walk away, down towards the trail.

"Mom...Dad..Ashe...I'm sorry, I never wanted to expose my violent self to you..."
