Falling Into Arcane

The world burst into an Anamoly, colors of all sorts all over.

Ekko laughed as he realized Caitlyn and Violet accidentally hitched a ride with him into the Arcane.

"Why are you laughing!?" Caitlyn asked angrily as the colors warped around them.

"I'll know what I'm doing!" Ekko said. "This is my playground! Will you know what to do?"

Caitlyn punched Ekko, and the colors all over suddenly took on angrier hues, spinning more viciously.

"Do you really want to anger the Arcane?" Ekko shouted over the plethora of sounds.

"Let him go!" Caitlyn shouted hesitantly, and Violet uncuffed him, pushing him away roughly.

Ekko laughed, then he stood straight, and the world around them slowed down, until they were surrounded by the Anomaly.

Ekko stared around him in awe. "Just as beautiful as the last time I was here."

"How'd you bring us here?" Caitlyn interrogated.

Ekko didn't look at her, instead choosing to look at the smaller Anomaly at the center of the... Anamoly. "Brave of you to interrogate the one dude who can bring you out."

"Ekko, this isn't funny," Violet said.

Ekko swung to face them. "Neither was gassing Zaun! Neither was making Zaun fight Shimmer on its own! It's only serious when a Piltie is in danger, that's what it is, right?"

"So your answer to your perceived injustice is to use the same magic that led to the Glorious Evolution!?" Caitlyn screamed.

Ekko laughed. "Perceived injustice? You really are Cuntlyn, Sevika was right."

Ekko gagged as Violet punched him in the stomach, and the Anomaly was angered once more.

"Listen, I may hate you," Ekko said. "But I don't want you to die."

Immediately, the Anamoly calmed down slightly, mirroring his feelings.

Ekko continued. "My plan was to teleport myself back in time by 20 years, but because you guys were touching me, the Anamoly changed course, somehow. So if you want to be safe, follow me, and stop attacking me."

Violet and Caitlyn looked at each other for a few moments.

"Alright," Violet said. "What's the plan?"

"Hold my hand and each other's," Ekko said. "I'll touch the little Anamoly."

"What's that?" Caitlyn asked, as she interlocked her fingers with Violet.

"That's the little ball of magic in the center of the ball of magic we're somehow in," Ekko said in a condescending tone.

Violet frowned at his hostility. "Do you want us to live or not?"

"Hold my hand before I change my mind," Ekko shot back.

Violet held his hand, and Ekko touched the little Anamoly, which transported them all to...

The Last Drop.

Or at least, The Last Drop when Vander used to own it.

"Are we in the past?" Violet asked Ekko.

Ekko let go of her. "No, something's wrong."

They heard the sound of a door opening, then someone walking up the stairs from the basement.

When the new person joined them, all four of them stared at each other.

"Jinx?" Ekko asked hesitantly.

Because it was Jinx. She looked almost like she had five years ago, with the same hair colors, but her hair was longer, and she looked slightly different, as if...

As if she never died, and she lived those five years.

"Ekko?" Jinx asked. "Vi? I was awake, what type of dream is this?"

Caitlyn scoffed. "Ask Ekko. He did something with the Arcane."

"You've been alive all this time?" Ekko asked, his voice nearly faint.

Jinx looked away. "I needed to go, to break the cycle."

Ekko surreptitiously wiped a tear. "That's - I'm happy for you. Did you find what you were looking for?"

"Kind of," Jinx said, then she grunted as Violet hugged her without warning. "Eugh, you're still as prickly as you were when we were kids."

"Shut up," Violet said, hugging Jinx even tighter.

"Amazing," Caitlyn said. "We've got two terrorists here now, and one of them doesn't even know how he broke time."

Violet and Jinx broke apart, and Ekko raised an eyebrow. "Don't you mean four terrorists, Cuntlyn?"

Jinx snickered at the name.

Before Caitlyn could respond, Violet came in between them. "Listen, we all have our problems with each other, yes. But let's think about getting out of here first, yeah? We can fix it later."

"Pfsh, in your dreams, sis," Jinx said. "Where is here, anyways?"

"It's not just where," Ekko said. "It's when, but I think we've also gotten out of the 4D of our universe."

"I thought I was crazy, but you're making me rethink," Jinx said. "Why do you think so?"

"I've been to an alternate universe," Ekko admitted. "The Anamoly acted similarly when it sent us away."

"I have sooo many questions," Jinx said. "Buuuuut, I still think this is a dream, so I'll just follow y'all."

"How do you know we didn't successfully time travel?" Violet asked Ekko.

"The room is flickering occasionally," Ekko said as he walked to the exit. "And I bet if I opened these, I'd find -"

Ekko slammed the doors open, revealing that they were once again in the Anamoly, this time the Anamoly surrounding them in a sphere of green, with the occasional hint of blue.

Jinx looked down at the ground. "Ekko, check this out!"

Ekko looked down at what she was pointing out. "It's runes?"

"Yeah!" Jinx said excitedly. "But it's also Wild Runes as well? It's really a language, and it's writing a really long something! Sooo intricate for a dream."

Ekko began reading the inscription on the floor, walking slowly as he read. "Calling... On... Arcane... To... Change... 20... Years."

Jinx raised an eyebrow. "Is this how you guys are insisting we got here? Well, lemme read the next part. Too... Many... Variables... Fractured... Arcane."

Ekko worriedly read the next sentence of runes. "Arcane... Now... Seeks... Corrections... From... Arcane-Verse... And... Time-Shatterer... To... Fix... 20... Years."

"This is sooo cliche," Jinx said. "Sounds like what I wished for like every night, my dreams are doing too much. Lemme guess, next it'll tell me I can save everyone?"

"It kind of already said that," Violet said.

"Lemme focus," Jinx said, focusing on the next set of runes. "Time-Shatterer... Must... Align... With... Pieces... To... Correct... Universe... Or... Arcane-Verse... Fractures. That's it!"

"So, it's all Ekko's fault," Caitlyn said. "Of course it is."

"If you hadn't been so insistent on arresting me, I would've fixed the timeline by now," Ekko said.

"Oh, my, god," Jinx said dramatically. "This is my dream, guys. You're supposed to berate me, not each other. Can we just get to the part where we wake up?"

"This isn't a dream, Jinx," Ekko said. "Anyways, I think the way to move on is to Align with you guys?"

Jinx rolled her eyes at Ekko.

"What does that mean?" Violet asked.

"I think we hold hands, like last time," Ekko said, offering a hand to Jinx and Violet.

Violet grabbed his hand, and Caitlyn grabbed hers.

The three of them all looked at Jinx silently.

"Oh, fine," Jinx rolled her eyes. "I'll prove this isn't a dream."

Jinx grabbed Ekko's hand, and the world shrunk around them, until there was only the area they were on.

"What now?" Ekko asked, then the 'wall' in front of him started to show four sets of runes.

Options of The Time-Shatterer

Understanding. Ekko will now fully understand what the Arcane needs of him and his partners to fix the world.

"It's... Giving me options to choose from?" Ekko said confusedly.

"Understanding, Desire, and 4," Jinx read. "Yeesh, boringggg. Be more exciting, dream."

"I'm choosing Understanding," Ekko said. "Maybe then we'll understand where we are."

Ekko pressed the rune, and suddenly, it vanished.

A moment after, new sets of runes appeared.

Options of The Big Fat Hero

Pow-Pow. The Version of Powder from Season 2 Episode 7 will join on the travel through the Arcane-Verse.

Medusa. Jinx will regain her long hair, along with the ability to control her hair as if it were a limb.

"At least my dream knows I'm the big fat hero," Jinx said. "Hmm. Eenie meenie minie moe."

Jinx clicked the rune for Pow-Pow, and the runes vanished.

The sky turned red, then Violet's runes appeared.

Options of The Stillwater Survivor

Butch. Instead of being a butch, Violet will now get the ears, tail, and sexual needs of a bitch.

BTGG. Violet will lose her pink hair and muscular body, exchanging it for black hair and unreal proportions.

"Why'd the sky turn red?" Violet asked.

"I think it's because of how you attacked me earlier," Ekko said.

"So it's going to punish me!?" Violet asked.

"Why are you guys talking about something that didn't happen?" Jinx asked.

"It was before you came," Violet said.

"That's not how dreams work," Jinx said. "Now pick, sis."

Violet rolled her eyes at Jinx. "I'll choose... Pink, I guess."

Violet picked her option, and her runes were replaced by Caitlyn's.

Options of The Commander

Never Miss. Caitlyn has a 100% chance of conception.

Commander. Caitlyn will crave **** domination over Violet, while craving to give Ekko her complete submission.

Cupcake. Caitlyn's butt will become huge, and soft.

Vote Here For Caitlyn

"I'll choose Cupcake," Caitlyn said, picking her options.

The runes disappeared in a flash, then the world starting spinning around them.

"Hold on, guys!" Ekko called out.
