... Jayce? What happened to you?
...[looks away] Doesn't matter.
Something... happened to me, too.
You're the reason, we didn't die in the attack.
Apparently so.
How long have you known?
It started then. Feelings I... couldn't explain. But this... [examines her Mage's tattoos] I still don't fully understand.
[angrily] Why just me? Why not save all of them?!
It wasn't a decision! One moment you're addressing the Council, and the next, we're standing in rubble! I didn't have any greater awareness!
How can I know you aren't lying to me?
Why would you think I am?
Because you used me! And Viktor, for Hextech! You called us "investments."
Two brilliant young inventors who shared a penchant for impossible surprises. [Jayce begins to experience flashbacks from the apocalyptic reality] Carrying magic from myth, to machine. Rallying the hope and hearts of a nation. You were a wise investment-
[speaking through the figurine] Allow us a moment of civility, Jayce. We must talk.
Viktor. [approaches] How did you get in here?
You once benefited, from my knowledge of this place.
That was a long time ago.
Had you given me the chance, I would have shown you the merits of my work. Our work.
No, this is your obsession. Everything you've done to these people, you did alone. [he swings, but the figurine easily dodges several attacks, then flies up to the ceiling, hiding in the shadows as Mel and Jayce search for it]
Perhaps. But I'm alone no longer. I now speak with all their voices.
Say what you came here to say.
Somehow, I think you already understand what must transpire, to complete my mission. I would prefer to do so in peace. The Noxian has other intentions.
Mother?
...The Arcane, stirs within you. [he begins to break through her spells, but is knocked back by Jayce's hammer; Mel collapses, exahusted.]
Viktor... for all our sakes, stay away from the Hexgates. [he charges the figurine again, but it easily dodges his attack, then slams him against the Council table]
Your mind has become rigid, Jayce. Fear, clouds your judgement. This chain of events, started with you. [Jayce attacks again, but the figurine flies over his swing, then traps him in its' arms.] In my confusion, I was unable to reconcile this. But I now understand. The Glorious Evolution, is destined. Let us instead do this once again as partners.
My partner... died in this room.
...It was my sincere desire to avoid this.
Doctor... you may begin the process.
