As predicted, Vi caught Jinx completely off guard, with the later looking over her shoulder with a terrified look for the first time in ages. Vi had never seen the lunatic so scared and surprised, satisfying her even more. The metallic gauntlets met warm flesh and Vi squeezed Jinx in her grip as they both flew towards the ground. Jinx hit the floor first, grumbling in pain while Vi held her pinned down, leaving her no chances of moving.

"Don't look at me! Get the fuck out of here!"she shouted at the hostages, who starred at her in both admiration and terror. As if her voice had woken then up, they abandoned their chairs and started running in panic, stumbling on each other.

"It's over Jinx" Vi said, trying to repress a grin but failing "As we speak, Jayce is freeing the rest of the hostages and you'll finally find your rightful position in prison"

"You seem so sure about that Fat Hands" Jinx laughed "Though, if I were you, I'd be far less confident"

Vi greeted her teeth "I got no bloody idea of what your plan is but lemme tell you something; You're not going anywhere this time"

Jinx's grin remained though she didn't say anything further to piss Vi off, something that made the enforcer a little bit suspicious. From the corner of her eye, she checked if the hostages had abandoned the room successfully and she was glad when she found out that no one was there with them. It was only her and Jinx.

All out of a sudden, she felt an unexpected sharp pain on her abdomen, making her growl in pain and loosening her grip, giving Jinx the opportunity to jump back on her feet.

"You little rat" Vi hissed, clenching her stomach. She had been distracted for one damn second and Jinx had jumped in the opportunity. This little piece of shit had far more strength than Vi had expected and now she had kneeled down, being completely unaware of where Jinx was now.

But she didn't need to know. She moved out of the way at the last second before a zap of electricity passed right through where she stood a moment ago. Had she been slower, she would have passed out.

"I wonder how Hat Lady keeps around such useless officer!" Jinx giggled "It all needed one second to get off your hands!"

Vi stood back on her feet, growling in anger "We'll see who's the useless one once I'm done with you" she responded, showing her nemesis her greeted teeth.

"I'd like to see you try,  Fat Hands" Jinx smirked "But Paw-Paw is not as patient as me, you see. He wants me to be done with you ASAP and explode these buildings!"

Vi should have expected it. The Loose Canon loved explosions and she wouldn't loose an opportunity to do so. If she lost this fight, this was going to be over once and far all. Defeat wasn't an option. Without loosing any more time, she charged her gauntlets for an Excessive Force attack which missed Jinx's head barely, knocking some chairs in the air. Jinx dodged quickly and started shooting at Vi's direction. The pinkette ducked behind a desk and waited for the barrage of bullets to stop. This was going to be a tough one.

Once the shooting was over, she opened her ears, trying to listen to Jinx's footsteps. She felt her coming closer to the desk and she was certain she was going to blow it up. It was then when Vi decided to use the element of surprise again to her advantage. Using the gauntlets, she threw the desk at Jinx's direction, who dodged again but wasn't fast enough to dodge another of Vi's Vault Breaker attack. Vi growled in satisfaction as she hit Jinx and then went of a  Denting Blow, sending Jinx's body flying across the room, crushing on top of several chairs.

"Still a useless officer?" Vi mocked, the smile reaching her ears.

Jinx grumbled something incoherent as she stumbled back on her feet. She gave Vi a death glare; if looks could kill Vi would lay down dead.
