The Tournament of Souls is heating up, but will the fan favorite continue to push ahead in the competition?

• Announcer: I'm telling you, these fights have been IN-CREDIBLE!

• Announcer: For our next match, we've got our favorite underdog story, the hard-headed hunk himself: Helmet Bro!

• Announcer: He came here to win a house for his gram-gram. It's his soul's desire, after all!

• Announcer: But Gram-Gram may want to hold off on packing, because he'll be going helmet-to-head with our fan favorite:

• Announcer: The Hysterical Hyena, the GLORIOUS EXECUTIONER HIMSELF: DRAAAAAVEN!!!

• Announcer: When he got here, Draven told us that he came here for one thing: a challenge. Will this be the challenge he's hungry for?

• Draven: It better be, 'cause Draven's starvin'.

Fight 01

• Draven: Sup, headgear?

• Helmet Bro: You'll wish you were wearing a helmet!

Chapter 2

Draven made it to the grand finals of the Tournament of Souls, but does he have what it takes to defeat a dark horse competitor... and have his greatest desires fulfilled?

• Announcer: After the single most watched semifinals in tournament history, we've finally made it to the grand finale!

• Announcer: These two dual-wielding titans will clash for the ultimate prize: to have their greatest desires fulfilled! Now, let's bring 'em out!

• Announcer: He's laughed his way through dozens of the world's best fighters! And they ALL LEFT HIM STARVING FOR A CHALLENGE!!!!

• Announcer: NOW, HE'S UNLEASHED AND READY TO FEAST! LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM FOR: DRAAAAAAVEN!

• Draven: HA HA HA HA HA! OH YEAH!!!

• Draven: ARE YOU READY TO GO CRAZY FOR DRAVEN!!!!????!!!!!

• Announcer: The crowd is absolutely ravin' for Draven here in the arena!!

• Announcer: But hey hey: coming in as a dark horse challenger, he's harnessed his skills to blast past the competition!

• Announcer: He's made each of his fights look like a breeze!

• Announcer: BUT I THINK I'M FEELING THE WIND PICK UP! SO HANG ON, OR YOU'LL BE BLOWN AWAY BY THIS MAN'S EVERY MOVE: GIVE IT UP FOR YOOONEEE!!!

• Announcer: UNBELIEVABLE! AN UNKNOWN SOUL FIGHTER HAS SLAIN YONE-AND NOW, DRAVEN'S ENTERING THE RING! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

• Announcer: We're on the edge of our seats to see what this madman does next!

• Draven: WHOA WHOA! I THOUGHT WE WERE SAVING THE DRAMA FOR AFTER THE FIGHT'S STARTED?! Who the hell are you?

• Yasuo: Yasuo.

• Draven: Yasuo... What happened, Yone beat you in the prelims? Or are you such a big fan you'd kill for a chance to fight Draven?

• Yasuo: I couldn't let him win...

• Draven: Ha! Draven would've handled that for you, kid.

• Yasuo: Looks like you underestimated your opponent.

• Yasuo: We studied all your matches... You stood no chance against my brother.

• Announcer: His own BROTHER?! You heard that right, folks. Our finalist Yone was killed by his own brother!!!

• Draven: That guy's your BROTHER? DON'T YOU KNOW BROTHERHOOD IS A SACRED BOND, YASUO!!!

• Yasuo: I do.

• Draven: Now, square up. Or whatever shape it is when one of your arms is in a sling!

• Yasuo: For what?

• Draven: Look around! THESE FOLKS CAME FOR A SHOW! And the way I see it, you're Yone's understudy.

• Announcer: DRAVEN HAS CHALLENGED THAT ABSOLUTE LUNATIC TO A FIGHT!!! And... according to the... EXTREMELY CURRENT official rules…

• Announcer: ...while killing someone USUALLY isn't a valid way to take their place in the competition...

• Announcer: ..we'll allow it—just this once—because well... HOW COULD WE DEPRIVE YOU OF THE DRAMA!?!

• Draven: I'm dedicating this one to my own bro! LOVE YOU, DARIUS!

• Yasuo: Fine.

Fight 02

• Draven: Let's give 'em what they want! Wouldn't want to embarrass yourself in front of your dead brother now, would you?

• Yasuo: It's already over.

Chapter 3

The finals conclude, the Tournament ends, and a new winner is crowned... though nothing has gone as planned.

• Yasuo: I can't do this.

• Draven: Wearing you out, huh?!

• Yasuo: I forfeit.

• Yasuo: Congratulations, Draven.

• Draven: What do you mean "forfeit"? Draw your sword!

• Draven: DRAVEN'S NOT DONE WITH YOU!

• Announcer: And in yet another unprecedented turn of events, it seems that our murderous sibling has forfeited the match?

• Yasuo: That's right.

• Announcer: And the winner is... DRAVEN!

• Announcer: How's it feel to be the winner of the Tournament of Souls?!

• Draven: DRAVEN WANTS TO APOLOGIZE TO ALL HIS FANS WHO CAME TO WATCH HIM ACHIEVE A GLORIOUS VICTORY!

• Draven: THAT COWARD WAS PRETTY BORING, HUH? COME ON! FIGHT ME FOR REAL!

Chapter 4

Now the winner of the Tournament of Souls, Draven sees his soul's desire fulfilled... but what strange land has it taken him to? And what is his desire, anyway?

• Draven: Ugghhhhhhh... Where the...?

• Draven: Must've had the most glorious afterparty?

• Draven: ...Alone? In the middle of... weird trees? I—

• Wanderer: Ccchhh ccchhh screee

• Draven: The hell are you?

• Wanderer: SCREEEEECCCHHHHH!

• Draven: Oh yeah: You must be a FAN!

Fight 03

• Wanderer: SCREEECH!

• Draven: Gonna need you to cut that out.

Chapter 5

After encountering the dangerous wanderers of this strange new world, Draven fears something else lurks after him in the shadows.

• Draven: With a "hello" like that, Draven's in for a good time.

• Draven: HEY! You! Yeah, you there in the bushes! Wasn't that the best monster vanquishing you've ever seen?!

• Nilah: Oooo!! The great Draven's noticed me. What. An. Honor.

• Draven: Don't worry, you'll get your autograph.

• Draven: But first: Where are we? What's that big place over there with the spotlight?

• Nilah: The Caver of Souls? Do you truly think you are prepared to bask in the glory of the One-Eyed God? Ha!

• Draven: And that means?

• Nilah: It's a sacred place where all the empowered souls that have ever been or will be await their purpose. One way or another.

• Draven: Whoa... Is Draven dead? Is this the afterfight?

• Nilah: The afterfight? Who came up with that?

• Draven: Ahem... Draven.

• Nilah: Does Draven feel dead?

• Draven: Wouldn't know. But I know Draven feels like he didn't get the win he wanted.

• Nilah: Ah, I see. Perhaps I can give you the fight you've been craving?

• Draven: Now THAT'S the spirit.

• Draven: HAHAHA!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Fight 04

• Nilah: I should warn you: I've killed gods.

• Draven: I just love fighting strangers!

Chapter 6

Awoken from a nightmare, Yasuo finds himself in a stranger's camp in a strange new land

• Yasuo: What would Shouma say, brother?

• Yasuo: We'll never know, will we? DEMA saw to that.

• Yasuo: We trained, always preparing for the next fight, waiting to take our revenge.

• Yasuo: Feeding off of each other's anger for years.

• Yasuo: When the invitation came, it was just the opportunity we had waited for.

• Yasuo: The day before the finals... outside the arena...

• Yasuo: I wish I could say I saw a stranger, but instead, I recognized the flame I had stoked with my own rage.

• Yasuo: You told me there would always be another fight, that your soul's desire... would merely save us from future strife.

• Yasuo: But I could feel our dream shift into something else. You kept repeating, "All of them deserve it. Why stop at DEMA?"

• Yasuo: We should have just gone home.

• Yasuo: Fighting to the death was your decision, Yone.

• ???: Find me.

• Irelia: Hello! Apologies for waking you. I'm Irelia, and this is my friend Xin Zhao.

• Irelia: I found you passed out in the brush and carried you back to our camp. What should we call you?

• Yasuo: You can call me Yasuo. Where are we? I can't seem to...

• Irelia: What's the last thing you remember?

• Yasuo: Listening to them announce the winner of the Tournament of Souls.

• Xin Zhao: Oh, so you won, too? If you have any idea of what your desire was—

• Yasuo: No. I didn't win... Forfeited... Don't want to burden you both with the details.

• Xin Zhao: Huh. We thought you needed to win to get here.

• Yasuo: Why? Where is here?

• Xin Zhao: The Lands Beyond. We woke up here after accepting our prizes at the tournament... We theorized that this place is tied to our desires—

• Irelia: We've theorized ENDLESSLY. Not much to do but think about why we're here, hike, and scare off things that wander too close to camp.

• Yasuo: You, you look familiar... You cut a man's arm off, isn't that right?

• Irelia: That's right.

• Yasuo: I still had my milk teeth when I watched the old black-and-white reruns of that fight.

• Irelia: Regardless of how much time is spent here, nothing changes. It's hard to say how much time even passed between our tournaments.

• Irelia: DEMA kept Xin Zhao strikingly uninformed about current events.

• Yasuo: ...DEMA?

• Xin Zhao: The Department for the Eradication of Manifested Anomalies... Our mission was to rid the world of soul fighters.

• Xin Zhao: Those of us whose souls had awoken were trained to fight, and when my invitation to the tournament came, l rose to the occasion.

• Yasuo: Get up.

• Yasuo: DEMA scum. This is for EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE TO ME!!!

Fight 05

• Yasuo: You signed up for this.

• Xin Zhao: Prepare yourself. I've faced many soul fighters.

Chapter 7

Yasuo learns about Xin Zhao's past. Irelia steps in to put him in his place.

• Irelia: ENOUGH!

• Yasuo: Stop protecting him! He made his choices...

• Yasuo: DEMA killed my master! Took my arm! My brother was never the same... All of this was because of them.

• Xin Zhao: Look, I don't know your dead master, I don't know your dead brother...

• Xin Zhao: ...and with all the time I've spent reflecting on DEMA... I do not condone their actions any longer.

• Irelia: You don't need to explain yourself to him.

• Yasuo: Save your excuses. I'm done talking.

• Irelia: And I'm done watching!

Fight 06

• Yasuo: This isn't your fight, Irelia.

• Irelia: I'm just the one ending it.

Chapter 8

Yasuo pushes away Irelia and Xin Zhao, leaving him to wander the Lands Beyond alone... or perhaps not?

• Irelia: That's it. Leave.

• Irelia: You're clearly strong enough and—stubborn enough—to take care of yourself.

• Yasuo: And go where?

• Irelia: You're free to figure that out for yourself.

• Yasuo: What's that? The tower in the distance?

• So many questions. I thought you were "done talking"?

• Yasuo: Look... I know things got heated. But—

• Irelia: Here are our terms: Reflect on the reality that you're STUCK HERE. Return once you've gotten over yourself, and we can talk.

• Irelia: But rise to me again, and I'll cut you down. Understood?

• Yasuo: Yeah... understood. But what is that place? What's with the light?

• Yasuo: Is that the way out?

• Irelia: Do you think we would still be here if it was? Come on, Xin Zhao, we're running low on kindling.

• Xin Zhao: It's a temple to some forgotten god, guarded by some deranged priestess.

• Xin Zhao: I'm sorry for the pain DEMA has caused you... I hope you can find peace before we meet again.

• Yasuo: Apologies from DEMA... Pfft. That's rich.

• Yasuo: Now, assuming he wasn't lying about the "temple," that "priestess" might have some answers.

• Yasuo: Wish I knew what he meant by "deranged"...

• Yasuo: It seems my path won't be easy—

• Wanderer: REEEEEEEE!

Fight 07

• Yasuo: What are you?

• Wanderer: RAAAAHHHHHHH!

Chapter 9

Yasuo arrives at the tower glowing in the distance, the Cavern of Souls. But will he be prepared to face whoever's waiting for him there?

• Yasuo: What is this place?

• Nilah: Traveler! Over here!

• Yasuo: Who are you?

• Nilah: Gosh! I've been here so very long... Who remembers really?

• Yasuo: I am not in the mood.

• Nilah: I am a soul fighter, a god slayer, an envoy of the One-Eyed God's might... but I go by Nilah.

• Yasuo: Alright, Nilah. What is this place?

• Nilah: I promise, you don't want to find him, Yasuo.

• Yasuo: How do you know my name?

• Nilah: I met a friend of yours. Once he proved he could hold his own against me in a fight, we got to chatting, and he told me all about you.

• Yasuo: Right... Now, if you'll excuse me...

• Nilah: Perhaps I wasn't threatening enough? No, no. I can't have you enter just yet. Draven needs time to warm up!

• Yasuo: DRAVEN?!

• Nilah: Mmmmhmmm! That's his name, and he sure does wear it out! Ready for your rematch?

• Yasuo: He brought me here for a rematch?!

• Nilah: Enough about Draven. I want to see your skills!

• Nilah: Show me how you killed your brother!

Fight 08

• Yasuo: Aren't you going to take off your blindfold?

• Nilah: Where's the fun in that?

Chapter 10

While Yasuo battles it out with Nilah, Draven fights wandering souls, waiting for his rematch with Yasuo.

• Draven: Are you there, One-Eyed God? It's me, Draven.

• Draven: How many of these things do I have to slay before you show me a real challenge, huh?

• Weird Wanderer: HIIISSSSSS...

• Draven: Ooh, this is a REAL feisty one!

Fight 09

• Draven: Hmmm... You're built different...

• Weird Wanderer: OSSSSSAI!!!!!!

Chapter 11

Draven finally gets his rematch with Yasuo, but it looks like he was only just getting started.

• Draven: Huh... Hope you were watching. That was a REAL WEIRD... uh... whatever those things are.

• Yasuo: Why?! You could've had ANYTHING you wanted! You could've wished to be happy or rich! Why drag ME into this?

• Draven: Money can't buy Draven happiness. Only glorious victory scratches that itch.

• Draven: Draven knows he's the better fighter, but that's not good enough. He just won't be content until everyone else knows…

• Draven: ...he's better than you.

• Yasuo: This is infuriating...

• Draven: That's my brand!

• Yasuo: <stare>

• Draven: Hey, YOU chose this when your little ~family spat~ upstaged my GLORY.

• Draven: Now, let's dance.

Fight 10

• Yasuo: Let's just get this over with.

• Draven: UGGHHH!! The mood's not your brother, okay? STOP KILLING IT!

Chapter 12

Yasuo seems to be overtaken by some unknown force. Draven prepares for the fight of his life.

Yasuo: <grunts> Happy?

• Draven: WOOO! You know I am! See, was that so hard?

• Yasuo: <scowls>

• Draven: HEY! NILAH! I BEAT HIM!

• Draven: NIIIIIILAAAAAAH???!!!

• Draven: Did you happen to see a woman with a blindfold and an incredibly threatening smile?

• Yasuo: She slipped away after we fought.

• Draven: She said we'd get sent home once I finished the fight my soul "truly hungered for"...

• Yasuo: Why would you trus—

• Yasuo: Ahh!

• Draven: What's gotten into you?

• Yasuo (?): DRAVEN!

• Draven: That's the name, don't—WHOA WHOA! CHECK YOU OUT!

• Yasuo (?): Such aAAHH BURDENED SOUL!

• Yasuo (?): BOUND HERE BY YOUR INSECURITIES!

• Draven: Draven doesn't HAVE INSECURITIES.

• Draven: What is it? You looking for Round 3?

• Yasuo (?): OUR FIGHT IS... YOUR DESIRE.

• Draven: Ooooh, that ENERGY! Feels like I've spent a lifetime waiting for this.. Oh! But wait... Do you hear that?

• Draven: <clickclickclickclickclick-swish>

• Draven: THOSE ARE THE METAPHORICAL GLOVES COMING OFF! Otherwise known as TEARAWAY PANTS!

• Draven: Draven's worn these for a loooong time, waiting for someone like you to come around. So get ready to kiss Draven's SHINY GOLDEN AXE!

• Yasuo (?): <inhuman roar>

Fight 11

• Draven: Welcome to the main event: ME!

• Yasuo (?): CONCEDE!

Chapter 13

With Draven's desires finally made manifest, a portal opens, allowing our Soul Fighters to escape the Lands Beyond.

• Draven: AND DRAVEN IS VICTORIOUS!!! THANK YOU! <MWAH> THANK YOU! <MWAH>

• Draven: WOOO, man. Now THAT was a fight. Dual-wielding like that. You might've actually given me a run for my money at the tournament.

• Yasuo: Dual-wielding? What happened?

• Yasuo: Where is he? Where's my brother?

• Draven: Floor of the arena last I saw. You alright? Getting knocked silly is just an occupational hazard of tussling with Draven.

• Yasuo: It's hard to say. Feels like someone strode across my grave.

• Yasuo: Draven… When did you change your pants?

• Draven: Well, you started glowing and pulled out a second sword, so what's a better time for the pants to come off?

• Draven: Ugghh! How did you miss my costume change?

• Draven: Come on, Yasuo, my fans are waiting!
