The light streamed through the opening on the front of the tent, urging the first of those sleeping to awaken. In turn, they awoke the ones less covered in light, and finally, they awoke the champions sleeping at the back of the tent. Uvel felt a scaled hand touched his back, pulling his from his slumber. He shook it off, attempting to fall into sleep's clutches once again, but whoever it was trying to wake him would have none of that.

Uvel felt the bed being lifted up from under him, and then was shaken with such strength that Uvel fell to the floor. He groaned in pain as he picked himself up from the dirt, some of it deciding to stick to his face. A sharp voice cut through his sleepy daze, "Get up, it's your first official day at the camp and you need to complete the tasks assigned to you. Get to the Hall and receive your duties!" The person walked out of the tent and followed a few others to the Main Hall. Uvel thought it would be intelligent to follow, so he walked slowly behind the others while wiping the remnants of sleep from his eyes.

'Not exactly the nicest reception on my first day in camp, I'll make sure he suffers...someday.' He thought to himself, walking towards the building he had visited yesterday. Several champions had already lined up near the door, talking to someone at a podium. The person at the podium looked like a giant monkey, wearing red ornate armor along with an armored skirt. A staff sat against the podium as he read a crisp scroll off to the people assembled.

"Kayle and Taric, you get to guard Brand's cell for the day. Caitlyn, Vi, and Graves, you three patrol the camp barrier. Renekton and Nasus, you two get to do the laundry, have fun." He paused to watch as the champions that were given their duties marched off, "Alright, Heimerdinger, Corki, and Rumble are on Nexus Maintenance. Lee Sin and Karma will be taking inventory on the armory while Akaili, Kennen, and Shen stand guard outside it." He looked down the scroll one last time and surveyed the crowd. "The new guy, Uvel, will help with demolition on the damaged building to the east of the camp. Lux and Riven, you two go with him. Ok people, everybody get busy, your duties must be completed by the end of the day or you will not be allowed sleep until the job is done, just like usual."

The monkey leaped down from the podium, grabbed his staff, and walked into the building as the crowd dispersed. Uvel turned around to see Lux and Riven staring at him from the gate that led east. He realized that they were waiting for him, and ran to catch up to them. As he neared, Lux gave a thumbs up to Jarvan, who pulled the lever and raised the gate. Riven and Lux walked through the gate just as Uvel caught up, panting as he slowed to a walk. Lux giggled at him and Riven just smiled.

Riven looked back at him, a questioning gaze appearing on her face, "So how are you supposed to help us with demo?" She asked, eliciting a gasp and a frown from Lux.

"That wasn't very nice, Riven. He's the son of Kog'Maw. He shoots acid at the building, we put the goop in buckets, and deposit them in the nearby forest where the trees will absorb the mixture and turn it into nutrients," a smile came to her face, "We can get rid of the old building in no time, feed the trees of the forest, and be done in time to chill out for the rest of the day. Uvel just made our job easier." At this she yawned, " It's been three days and we still haven't finished. I'm really, really tired." Riven just shrugged and nodded as they neared the decrepit remains of a large building that resembled the armory.

Lux stopped and looked around, "This was the armory before we were attacked while activating the Nexus, the barrier didn't come up fast enough to stop Veigar's dark matter from annihilating half the building. Since then we moved all the weapons, but this building is still a hazard that could come down at any moment on top of someone, so our job is to take it down ourselves. Unfortunately for us, the building is bigger than Cho'Gath when he gets hungry, so progress on taking it down has been slow." Thud

Lux and Uvel looked over at Riven, who lay on the ground snoring loudly. Lux frowned and kicked her, rousing her from her brief sleep. "We haven't been allowed to sleep for days, and we really hope that you can help us get this thing down quickly, think you can do that?" Uvel looked into Riven and Lux's pleading eyes and sighed. He really didn't have a choice, so, much to the girls' delight he nodded. They walked over the former armory and began their work, slicing, frying, and melting the rubble that once housed the Champion's weapons.

After nearly five hours of tearing at the building, the three champions sat down to take a break. Uvel was sweating by this time and his stubby tail was in pain from a chunk of marble that had fallen from the roof. The two sitting near him looked even worse than he did, and were trying hard to stay awake. They had destroyed nearly seventy-five percent of the building and were almost done. After a few minutes, Uvel walked back to the remains and tried hard to concentrate. At his young age, all he could do was produce the acid, turning it into a projectile with his tongue took a large amount of energy and he was tired from the constant production of the hissing liquid.

He stood there and concentrated, sloshing the contents of his stomach around, with a push, he took good chunk of it from his stomach and sent it to his mouth, where he slathered it in acid and sent it flying toward the remaining rock and marble. The ball of digestive liquid and acid burned through, creating a trail of less effective liquid in its wake, which melted the rest. He panted, realized he had just finished the job, and fell to the ground in exhaustion. The sounds of the other two snoring filled the air as Uvel drifted off to sleep on the ground.

Red Glow silently sat in the North Canterlot Tower, watching as the building in the distance fell to the earth. He wrote down everything he saw, as his partner next to him started complaining again, "Why does the Princess want us to watch these guys anyway? They don't seem to be doing anything. It's soooo boring!" She stated, banging her head against the table. Red Glow shook his head, Violet Radiance was easily bored by surveillance missions.

Sitting in the tower, Red Glow and Violet Radiance were to write down anything that happened within the barrier that appeared around a forty mile radius. The North Canterlot Tower was not actually in Canterlot, but hidden in one of the mountains surrounding Ponyville, it was once used to warn if an enemy army was approaching. Now, though, the tower was one of many that sat around Ponyville watching the barrier, and the camp inside. Taken to the towers by carriage, the guards were not allowed to leave their posts until their commanding officers gave the all-clear.

As Red Glow watched the building fall to the ground, his mind started to wander. 'Violet is right, it is kinda boring just sitting here. Nothing ever happe- His thoughts were interrupted by a sudden pain in the back of his head. It escalated to the point that his entire body felt numb, and he fell over.  He felt the world spin around him as a large insect like creature jumped off the tower. His last thought was how much paperwork he would have to do because of this, before drifting off to unconsciousness.

Violet, however, hadn't been hit as hard and was able to trick the creature into thinking she had also been knocked out. As soon as the beast left, she scrambled to the small handle hanging from the ceiling and pulled. The loud sound of bells tolling echoed across the valley, and soon several guards were getting ready for the threat. Far away, the lights of the castle began to illuminate one by one, as the Royal Guard awoke, ready to protect the citizens of Equestria.

Uvel awoke to the sound of bells, lots and lots of bells. The sound hurt his ears and he and his fellows roused from slumber. The lights and runes of the camp came to life, and the Turrets around the edges of the barrier glowed with power. Several champions ran for their posts as a dark cloud approached the outer wall of the barrier. Uvel, Lux, and Riven had already sprinted to the middle of the camp now, exhaustion replaced with adrenaline. The champions were arming themselves with their own personal weapons while the dark cloud gained speed, rushing at the barrier.

"The barrier wont hold against their combined power, we will have to send in a distraction squad while the rest of us flank the enemy from the battlements. Clear?" Ezreal asked, addressing everyone around him. Several nods of understanding passed around the group and a small pack of six champions, Kayle, Wukong, Taric, Lee Sin, Lux, and Riven ran at the cloud as it neared at high speeds. Everyone else settled into position around tress, wooden stockades, barricades, and walls as the sound of bells and yelling was slowly drowned out by the sound of marching hooves.

All the champions stopped as a large battalion of Royal Guards moved over one of the many hillsides at the west side of the forest, several meters behind the dark cloud. Uvel tried counting all the soldiers, but lost track at around eight hundred. The last thing the champions needed was a battle on three fronts, but as the dark cloud slammed into the barrier, bringing it down, everyone knew that battle was imminent.
