Final Stand a Timebomb Fan Fiction

Chapter 6 : Return of the Kingpin

A dark alley filled with trash. Rats scurry across the floor running to a body. A person lays in the alley behind a dumpster. Their eyes open staring at the rat, they grab the rat standing up. As the man stares at the rodent he walks out of the alley. As he walks into the light his body becomes more visible. He wears a red, black, and gold uniform. His face was half infected with an eye as orange as the sun. He pulls out a knife slitting the rat's throat, throwing it away.

"They will all pay." The man says looking over the river staring at the tower standing over the Undercity and its people. 'Jinx, what happened to you?" He says walking away into the alley again. Slowly walking through the alley way he makes his way into a street of the lanes. He looks upon Enforcers walking around all the lanes.

As he finds a cloak laying on the side of the street he picks it up putting it on himself to hide his identity. As he walks past Enforcers he is met face to face with a Firelight who was helping the Enforcers. "I see they have betrayed their own morals for these things." He walks what seemed like forever before coming face to face with the last drop. As he enters he is greeted by people playing pool, talking, and playing cards. Nothing like when he was in charge.

As he walks in taking a seat at the bar, a new bartender walks up. "How can I help you?' Silco looks up revealing his face. "You can do a lot for me, boy." The bartender looks at Silco with fear in his eyes. "First start by getting me a drink." The bartender quickly walks out of the bar running up the stairs to the office. Silco sighs going to leave the bar when Enforcers can be heard yelling out of the Last Drop. Everyone stops talking, looking out the glass to see what was going on. Just then an Enforcer flies through the window crashing into the bar.

Everyone watched as the Enforcer crashed into the bar sending his helmet flying off crashing into the wall. A pool of blood formed around the Enforcer as everyone looked out the destroyed window. All that was there was bodies of Enforcers scattered around. All were completely mutilated. Silco grinned walking out of The Last Drop. Dropping his hood while walking out. He simply walks away with a grin on his face.

Caitlyn approaches the scene, all the Enforcer's bodies lay there as everyone in the last drop runs away. She walks over inspecting the bodies with a disgusted look on her face. "Scratch marks?" Vi walks behind her looking over all the bodies. "Whoever did this wasn't human, it's some sort of animal." Caitlyn said walking over to Vi. "Well, what animal could rip apart people like this?" Caitlyn turns looking at the bodies. "I'd assume some sort of wolf but then again there are alot of animals with claws."

As more Enforcers arrive, Caitlyn and Vi walk away towards Piltover. "So what I can get here is that an animal came through and killed Enforcers and only Enforcers. Are there any witnesses?" Vi looks over at Cait's papers. "No, all of the people ran away as soon as we got down there, I'm sure they'll reveal themselves eventually."

Powder watched from a building's roof staring at the Enforcers. "So, a big dog. God that Piltyis stupid. A wolf couldn't kill people and throw them through a window." Powder pulled down her mask jumping off the roof onto her board flying away. As she reaches the sanctuary jumping off her board landing on the grass.

Taking off her mask she just walks around the tree. "God, why do they always go on missions without me." She says while sitting on a bench, arms crossed. The only people in the sanctuary were her and a couple kids running around the tree, as she watched them play she smiled laying back on the bench. Closing her eyes imagining herself and Ekko playing when they were younger.

---------------------------

Ekko and Powder run through alleyways splashing through puddles as they run, jumping over boxes and crates. Just then Powder started passing Ekko as they ran, Ekko noticing that he began trying to speed up. As he did he caught his foot on a rogue piece of wood sending him down with a horrible crash.

As his foot was pulled by the wood his face made a direct impact with the ground crushing his nose on the dirty alleyway pavement. Just as she heard the crash, Powder stopped running, looking quickly behind her to see her friend's face planted into the ground, limbs flat on the ground. Her face filled with worry as she quickly ran to him. Dropping on her knees, as Ekko tried pushing himself up Powder held him up, his face where he had impacted was covered in blood from his nose.

Powder moved him to where he was sitting up right, pulling out a small handbag she tried cleaning the blood off his face as he sobbed from the crash. His knees were also scraped up and dirty. After cleaning his face Powder began wiping his knees off before sitting down with him as he regained his breath.

Ekko looked over at Powder once the pain had almost gone away, he reached over hugging her tightly. Powder, who was not paying attention, was filled with shock when he hugged her, she slowly raised her arms hugging Ekko as they lay there on the dirty cold floor of the Undercity.


---------------------------

As Powder opens her eyes she isn't blinded by the daylight but instead a starry sky filled with little white dots. As she rubs her eyes she looks around seeing only a couple lanterns with kids sitting next to them, besides those lanterns and stars it was completely pitch black. As she looked around trying to see through the darkness a person sitting beside her moves. She jumps away still on the bench when she feels the person move.

After letting her eyes get used to the light she sees a fast asleep Ekko sitting next to her, his arm slouched down after having it around her. She gives a grin while looking at him and then a sigh, she reaches over picking him up from under his knees and behind his back. She grunts as she tries picking him up, Powder eventually gets up and decides to set him on her board and pull it with her as she walks up the tree.

Once she pulls Ekko into their room she pulls the board out from underneath him letting him fall a inch onto their bed. She smiles watching Ekko still through the sounds of her board not waking up. Powder turns walking out of the door glancing back at Ekko sleeping before walking down the tree meeting with the green grass.

Pulling out a lantern from her backpack she whips out a match, flicking it against the bark of the tree creating a small flame putting it in the lantern creating a big orange and yellow light extending around 5 feet all around her. As she blows on the match, sending it out into smoke. As she walks around the great Firelight tree lamp above her head, she comes upon a hooded figure standing in the middle of the grass.

As her eyebrow raises and she walks closer and closer before stopping three feet away. "Uh-Hello?" She says with a questioning attitude. Looking over the figure she realizes his pants which are revealed underneath the cloak. "Um, are you lost?" Powder says while slowly approaching the figure. "Yes, actually I am a lost Jinx." Turning around, Powder is met eye to eye with a glowing orange eye staring at her, Silco's face gray as ash.

Powder screams in complete fear, swinging while falling to the ground, the lantern flies in the air, Silco's shadow changes in multiple forms until landing on its side. Powder's face is filled with terror staring at the man standing above her. He begins approaching her slowly as she tries crawling back swinging her legs at him unable to think or even comprehend anything.

"Oh, not happy to see me. I cared for you." He says while approaching Powder, eventually Powder is backed up to the tree as Silco leans down only inches away from her face. "I loved you Jinx, I took you in when your sister abandoned you. And this is how you repay me, joining these Firelights." Powder tries covering her face with her arms, only one eye peeking out of her guard. "Jinx" Silco places his hands on her shoulders.

"I'M NOT A JINX!" Coving her eyes yelling as she tries kicking Silco again. "Listen to me-." Just then lights on top of the tree begin lighting up as people run to the balcony of the treehouses, Silco looks up with anger in his eyes as he walks back into the shadows exiting the sanctuary.
