🦁 Bittersweet Melon

Jinx felt the cold metal of the barrel of a gun pointed to her head, her body unable to move in fear. "Get away from her!" Free screamed, his eyes wide in terror. "Looks like The Black Market Princess wasn't protected by her daddy." A voice cooed, almost sickening sweet and yet blood curdling. "Perhaps I should teach her a thing or two about being a true animal. After all, it was all over the television. That man's slaughter, the sight of him being cooked in front of hundreds if not thousands." The person spoke, drawing their gun away. Jinx felt hands on her shoulders, the person now level with her as they brought their head beside hers. "Perhaps... If you take a bite from the forbidden fruit..." Jinx slowly looked at who was talking, a gazelle with the fangs of a leopard.

Leopard... Jaguar... Leop- Jaguar- Madaragumi! Jinx felt her body tense up, the feeling of his hands similar to that of that jaguar. Her stomach felt as though it was squeezing itself, making her vomit into the floor. Free swiftly scooped Jinx up, handing her to Dolph. "I don't know who you are or why you're here, but don't you ever show your face around here again." Free ordered, the Shishigumi drawing their guns and pointing it at the hybrid. "Temper, temper! I'm simply offering this kid my help. A child shouldn't be in a gang of ravenous monsters." The hybrid tried to reason, his voice swiftly turning to that of worry. "Think again." The hybrid's expression dropped at a new voice.

Jinx saw a flare of pink hair behind the hybrid, seeing Vi hold a gun to his head. "Get away from my sister, or I'll use your pelt to line the entrance hall." Vi warned, eyes filled with fury. The hybrid raised his hands, Vi swiftly taking his gun and other weapons. "Must I be searched like this? How exhilarating!" The hybrid hissed, a purr in his voice. "Get on the floor." Vi ordered.

"I said get on the floor!" Vi shouted, watching the hybrid fall to his knees after she shot his foot. How dare you try to hurt my sister. Vi used her foot to force the hybrid down, using handcuffs she had found while exploring Zaun with Cosmo. I promised myself that I wouldn't go into The Black Market again, but... My sister was in danger. "Are we playing Prisoner and Warden?" The hybrid cooed, glancing up to Powder. "Keep your eyes off her, you sick pervert. I should cut your dick off for even touching her shoulders." Vi growled, pointing the gun at his head as she continued to search him. "Vi, you know you shouldn't be here." Agata spoke up, his voice laced with anger and worry. "Oh shut up, you oversized house-cat. I'm not going to sit around while this bastard has intentions to hurt MY sister." She reasoned. "Sisters? Interesting..." The hybrid chirped, giggling as Vi struck him with her fist upside his head.

Melon remained silent, his eyes glued on The Black Market Princess in front of him. He wanted to run The Shishigumi, cause chaos... But that would have to wait. "I can offer guidance. I can teach you how to read people and beasts like a book." Melon offered, being pulled into a sitting position. "Never." Free spoke just as Jinx was about to open her mouth, feeling the cold metal in his. "I won't let sick men like you near my daughter." Free cocked the safety, grinning. "Perhaps we could line the floor with you." Here we go again. Melon swung his legs, knocking the lion off-balance and jumped over Vi. "See you soon, Princess!" Melon called out, laughing maniacally.

Jinx got out of Dolph's arms, Ekko running in. "What- ew, who threw up?" He glanced around. "A hybrid. Leopard and Gazelle hybrid. Perhaps we could hire the help of Piltover and Zaun to catch this beast?" Free offered, Jinx and Vi looking to each other. "Get every Enforcer down to The Black Market, get The Beastar too." Jinx ordered.

"We got a bitch to catch."
