"SHAAA!!!" The loud, happy and excited screeches of the Symbiotic-Infected echoed around the bridge at their father's words. Pointing at Piltover, Slathilia's smile turned demonic :"Now, my children, kill, kill and KILL!!! GYAHAHAHA!!"
They didn't need another word. As screeches and roars rang, they all made their way to Piltover. Looking like a wave from the depths of hell with their sheer number. Slathilia himself didn't go right away. He wanted to let them have some fun before that. He simply watched his children invoke chaos while he stood with his lover. Holding hands and enjoying the show.
"Slathilia, you can't do this!" Vi's shout was heard. Turning to her, they saw her still restrained and struggling against the hold of two Symbiotic-Infected. Caitlyn, petrified by fear, was a little away from her. Also restrained by Symbiotic-Infected who also sealed her mouth.
Slathilia :"Of course I can. I'm doing it right now, aren't I?"
Vi :"There are innocent people there!"
Slathilia :"So what? Never really bothered me. And I never saw the innocent lives in the Undercity stopping the Topsiders from messing up so many lives."
Vi :"B-but you can't just do this! Are you just planning to kill off every last one of them?!"
Slathilia, smiling :"That's the plan."
Vi :"Wha-?! Don't you have any remorse?! What, are you going to kill even the children?!"
Slathilia :"Men, women, children, elderly. All of them are in the list. Honestly, the only ones I'm not planning to kill are the animals in the city."
Jinx, giggling :"Yeah, you always did love animals a lot."
Vi :"Powder, you can't let him do this! You need to stop him!"
Jinx :"Stop calling me that already! And why would I do that?! They're just getting what they deserve."
Slathilia :"She's right. And besides, the party is just getting started."
With a sinister smile, he threw his head back as he let out another roar. Making the hearts of Vi, Caitlyn and Marcus sink with despair. The last time he roared like that, he started an apocalypse. They shuddered at what could've happened now.
Jinx on the other hand, grew even more excited :"Ooh, what now, what now?! Is something cool gonna happen again?!" Causing Slathilia to smile :"Why don't you see for yourself?" Suddenly, several tower-like claws sprung out from the river. Belonging to Symbiotic-Infected from the looks of the texture of their black, white and red arms.
As the arms as big as towers came out, so did the bodies. Overshadowing the two cities as several humongous Symbiotic-Infected, each with five heads, came out of the river. Each one huge enough to easily destroy the giant towers in Piltover.
"GRAAAAAAR!!!" The deafening roars of the humongous Symbiotic-Infected echoed around the cities, shattering the windows and glasses. sending everybody who saw them fall into despair. As they came out, they looked at Slathilia. Receiving a nod from their father, they didn't waste time. They let out another mighty roar, and immediately started wreaking havoc on Piltover. As if the Symbiotic-Infected weren't enough to destroy Piltover and all lives in it. But well, Slathilia was always one to like things like this dramatic. He liked overkills, so that's exactly what he planned to do.
Jinx :"WHOOAAA!! So cool!"
Vi :"No..."
Slathilia :"Sigh, Vi, I'm really beginning to think you're not actually the Vi from back then. The one who hated Piltover and Topsiders with everything she had."
Vi :"Yeah, but I wouldn't go as far as to kill everyone and everything, you monster! There are innocent lives and children there too!"
Jinx :"Hey, don't call Thilia a-"
Slathilia :"It's alright, Jinx. As I said, I really couldn't care, Vi. But enough about that. You can't change the inevitable. Now, have you finally made up your mind? What are you gonna choose?"
At his question, Vi's face paled.
Slathilia :"What is it gonna be? Your dear little sister, or some stranger bitch who you don't even know?"
Vi :"I... Thilia, you can't..."
But before she could finish, Slathilia chuckled :"Oh, by the way, just for your information, I don't think there is a second option." As he snapped his fingers, one of the titans lowered its head to their level. Standing behind Vi and Caitlyn, looking down menacingly. Making them shudder with fear. Even Silco and Sevika couldn't help but be nervous when they saw it so close.
Vi gulped, sweating from the monster looking at her warningly. Fear making her forget to answer. As the subject came back, so did the nervousness of Jinx. She knew that everything would turn out fine, but she was still afraid. She walked and stood in front of her, gently holding her cheeks.
With pleading eyes, she looked at her sister who looked back with unsure, shocked, and multiple different emotions :"Vi, sis, please. You don't need to care about them. About her. They don't care about us. Never will. Please, just come with us. Come back to me. Please, I miss you. You have no idea how hard it has been without you in my life. Come back to me."
"I... B-but I..." She stuttered, glancing back at Caitlyn who was struggling, shouting things that were silenced by the Symbiotic-Infected sealing her mouth. But as she looked at her sister's pleading and vulnerable eyes, she really couldn't see herself ever taking the second option.
Glancing at Caitlyn, who saw the answer and apology in her eyes, causing her eyes to be filled with despair, Vi sighed. Closing her eyes and looking away, not having the heart to look at her eyes. "I'm sorry... cupcake..."
A smile, one of the brightest he had seen, emerged on Jinx's face as she threw herself into Vi's chest, hugging her tightly as tears came flowing down :"Thank you! Thank you Thank you Thank you! I love you, Vi! I freaking love you, sis!"
Her little sister's happy reaction made her feel a lot better. As expected, she could never choose anybody else but her sister. She felt bad for Caitlyn, but there was no way she could hurt her sister. She had done enough already.
The Symbiotic-Infected let her go. Letting her hug her sister back as she rubbed her back comfortingly, kissing her blue head lovingly :"It's alright, Pow- Jinx. It's alright. I'm here now. And I promise, I'm never leaving you again."
Smiling at the heartwarming scene, Slathilia made his way to the crying Caitlyn. Gently stroking her cheek, wiping the tears as she looked at him with anguish :"I'm sorry. But you'd be another type of idiot if you thought she would pick you over her own sister when she has only known you for a day or two."
Suddenly, he grabbed her neck, choking her as he lifted her into the air. The Symbiotic-Infected let go, running quickly to join in the fun as Slathilia smiled evilly :"Rest in piss, bitch." As the Titan Symbiotic-Infected opened one of its mouths, he immediately threw her. Her tears flew around as Vi flinched at her screams, hugging Jinx tighter for comfort.
But even then, she didn't regret her decision. All of them could die if it meant her sister would be happy. She simply kept comforting her sister, whispering sweet nothings just like in the past. "That's one annoyance dealt with." Slathilia smirked :"Now, onto the next one." And walked to Ekko's body. Seemingly unconscious.
"Oy, I know you're awake." He gently kicked him. Ekko's heart rate spiked up even more, quickly trying to get up to attack. To struggle. But even before he could stand up, tentacles came out from below and held him down.
Ekko :"What the hell do you want?! What are you gonna do?! Kill me?! Then go ahead and finish it already!"
Slathilia :"Calm your tits, bitch. I'm not planning on killing you."
Squatting next to him, he returned to his human form :"You can't do anything to begin with. I'm letting you go, so just go back to your little home. Forget about messing around and annoying us again, alright? The Undercity will become a lot better and Shimmer will be taken out of the streets. So things will become a lot better than even in the past."
Getting up, he let him go. Ekko quickly got up, drawing his weapon and looking at him suspiciously :"Why should I believe you?"
Slathilia :"Because that's the only way you'll live. I don't have to let you leave. Killing you will only be annoying. The only reason I'm letting you is because of Vi. So just go and live a happy life or something. Because believe me, that's the only way to keep living."
After staring suspiciously for a few moments, Ekko started walking back before taking out his hoverboard and quickly leaving the scene. As he left, Silco and Sevika walked to Slathilia.
Silco :"Was it a good idea? He may cause problems again."
Sevika :"Yeah, those fucking brats can be really freaking annoying."
Slathilia :"Killing him would only result in the rest being even more annoying. Since I let him go, he'll keep them in check so they won't get themselves killed."
Silco :"True. But still, this is... something."
Slathilia, smirking :"Right? It's cool as hell, right?"
Silco :"Hm. When I said you had a personal army, I really didn't expect... this."
Sevika :"Boss is right. You could take over the world and shit with this army of yours."
As he chuckled, he started walking :"That will have to wait. For now, we've got things to do."
Looking down at the wounded Marcus, he smirked :"What's up, dipshit? Enjoying the show? Hope you are. It's the last thing you'll see."
Marcus was silent. Only groaning as he squeezed his eyes shut :"I-I don't care if you kill me. But please, please don't harm my daughter..." But Slathilia simply chuckled, squatting down before all playfulness left his face. Replaced with a cold emotionless look as his wide eyes stared menacingly :"Do you really think you have the right to say that? Tell me, how many people have lost their families because of you? Because of you being a greedy piece of shit. Sure, we were the ones who had you do them. But you were the one who willingly did everything in the end. So tell me, do you think you have the right to beg for mercy?"
"N-no... you can't-" He whispered, trembling as Slathilia grabbed his head :"Oh, I can. And believe me, I will. But don't worry, at least I'll make her death painless." Once finished, he squeezed, and Marcus's head exploded in his hand. Looking at the lifeless body, he snorted as his mood returned looking at Jinx being happy. As he walked to Jinx and Vi, the blue haired cutie smiled brightly :"Thilia, Vi is finally back! She won't leave again!"
Vi, smiling gently :"Hm, that's right. I'm never leaving again."
Slathilia :"Glad to hear that. But now, how about we go and see what's happening? I'm sure it's one hell of a sight to see."
Jinx :"Oh, I'm definitely coming! C'mon, Vi, let's go!"
"Wait, Jinx, calm down-" Vi tried, but failed to calm her sister as she pulled her away excitedly. Causing her to chuckle at her childishness. Even Silco smiled at his daughter's happy mood as they all made their way to the chaotic Piltover.
Walking among the ruined and bloody streets, filled with lifeless corpses of all ages, torn limbs and internal organs, Vi was disgusted. The sight really wasn't one for the faint hearts. Even Sevika tried not to look too much. The scene of the corpses turning into Symbiotic-Infected wasn't exactly something nice either.
Calling over a few Symbiotic-Infected, the hybrid instructed :"Go and take care of Jayce Talis, Viktor and Counselor Heimerdinger. Having their brains on our side is definitely useful." Nodding, they all immediately got back into action. The fact that they could Infect people with the Virus and Symbiotes themselves was really useful. It was why Slathilia's army was so huge to begin with. As the four of them reached the Counselor's building, they saw every Counselor besides Heimerdinger and Jayce in place.
"W-who are you?!"
"A-are you the ones responsible for this?!"
"Fuck, who cares?! We need to get out of here!"
But Slathilia's chuckle stopped them :"I'm sorry. But as amusing as it is to watch you act like headless chickens, I'm really not willing to waste my time." Letting out a whistle, several Symbiotic-Infected broke into the place. Easily killing off the guards before restraining the Counselors harshly.
"W-what are these?!"
"Let me go, you horrendous creatures!"
Jinx :"Hey, watch your tongue, bitch! They're adorable!"
The Symbiotic-Infected smiled at her. Although it looked horrifying as hell, Jinx smiled back. Causing Slathilia to chuckle as he patted her head :"Thanks, babe, they appreciate it. Take them away and lock them up. Killing them right away isn't right. They need to suffer. Just like how they've made Zaunites suffer. Ah, not her though. Lock Counselor Medarda in a room or something. Don't hurt her, she hasn't done anything compared to the rest of these bastards."
"Am I supposed to be thankful here?" Mel Medarda whispered sarcastically, but still didn't say anything. She didn't need to be a smart person to know not to fuck around with the person commanding an army of fucking monsters and titans.
"Let go! Let me go!"
"No no no! Help me!"
"Stop! Please, let me go! I'll give you whatever you want! Spare me!"
As the last annoyances were taken care of, Slathilia hummed in satisfaction. The echoing screams and sounds of explosions outside sounding like a calm melody for his twisted tastes. Smirking, a wave of biomass exited from under him, going around the room and making the huge table disappear.
He walked towards the end of the room, the wave of biomass moving with him. When he was reaching the opposite wall of the door, his biomass transformed into a huge black throne. One decorated with the appearance of Symbiotes. Faces of Symbiotes on the armrests and some other places, while sharp thorns protruded out of the edges.
Smirking nonchalantly, he slumped on the throne. Slapping his thigh and telling Jinx to take a seat. Something that she did immediately with an excited grin. Sitting there nonchalantly, with a gentle smile, he looked down at the others while his Symbiotic-Infected kneeled in front of him :"Well, this is nice."
-
In the upcoming few months, after fixing Piltover into a city suitable for Symbiotes, and naming it Klyntar, Slathilia's army invaded the rest of the world as well. Ever growing with each enemy fallen and turned into a Symbiotic-Infected, his army was undefeatable. Slathilia, the King in Black, with Jinx, his queen, Silco, his right hand man and adviser, Vi and Sevika, his generals, nobody stood in his way.
The end.
(A/N: Well, guess that's that. This actually is the first ever book I finished. Kinda pathetic. But well, it was fun. I had a lot of fun reading your comments as well. This book is arguably the one with the most comments, actually lol. I had fun writing it and listening to y'all. Hope you take care, and I hope to see you in my other books. Try and read my Yu-Gi-Oh GX book as well, since I will be focusing on finishing that one from now on. Well, bye bye, everyone 😘.)
