"You Think I'm Crazy?"
"Got you in my sights…" Caitlyn murmured to herself. Her sniper extended and locked in on Jinx's temple.
"Do you always have to say that?" Vi rolled her eyes.
Boom!
The jagged gear blasted out of Caitlyn's sniper and sped towards the Loose Cannon's skull.
"Come on, come on," Caitlyn's eyes widened. At the last second, the maniac jumped and the bullet tore through her shoulder. The sheriff went without a kill this match. "Shit!" Caitlyn shrieked.
"That really hurt… my feelings." Jinx moaned sarcastically, continuing to run towards Taric for a refreshing healing spell. The Sheriff of Piltover screamed, grabbed her hat and threw it to the floor, stomping on it over and over again like a child throwing a tantrum.
"I swear to the bloody banana god if she says that one more time!" Caitlyn huffed, her anger getting the better of her. Vi had never seen the Sheriff this consumed with rage. The Purple Team was approaching the end of their match, as they were pushed all the way up to her Nexus turrets and Caitlyn and Vi were guarding base until Fiora and Rengar respawned. Jinx was running around the outside of her stronghold, taunting Piltover's Finest every few seconds.
"Watch out!" Caitlyn turned to see Vi running towards her, one arm outstretched. The warning came too late. Caitlyn had been hit by Jinx's Super Mega Death Rocket. The sheriff's body was blasted into the Nexus tower behind her by the impact, dropping to the floor with a loud thud.
"Iz she dead, or non?" Fiora inquired running over from the Purple team spawn spot. The swordswoman kneeled over to get a good look at Caitlyn, but backed up as she heard a dark laughter escape from her lips. The sheriff got up pathetically and wobbled over to where the Loose Cannon stood. Jinx had her electric gun loaded and aimed at Caitlyn.
"But Hat Lady, where are your– Haha," Jinx giggled uncontrollably, "Wow! Where is your gun?" The sheriff grabbed the barrel of Jinx's gun and yanked it out of her scrawny hands. She stood still, staring darkly at the grinning miscreant. Taric didn't move, not knowing if he should stun the sheriff and defend his partner, or let everything play out. Both Blue and Purple Team members stood at a distance, watching the opponents. As Jinx was about to pull out Fishbones, the Sheriff threw a fist at her that connected with the bridge of her nose.
"What are you doing?! You're not allowed to do that!" Jinx cried out, rubbing the soft spot between her eyes. The Sheriff continued to throw weak punches which the miscreant continuously dodged and blocked until the Sheriff took her by surprise and tackled her to the floor. Caitlyn's eyes were completely black as she took the criminal's head in her hands and smashed it against the concrete floor repeatedly. Jinx's vision cracked and blurred every time the back of her head connected to the stone ground. Tears pricked at her eyes and she screamed as her skull made a sickening 'crack' against the floor. The trouble-maker's scalp felt despicably wet and warm.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, please stop it!" Jinx begged, tears starting to stream down her face. The trouble-maker had never died this way, but it was frightening. Caitlyn got off of the Loose Cannon and walked over to Taric as Jinx got into fetal position, sobbing loudly. The sheriff wrenched the Gem Knight's crystal hammer out of his hands and limped over to Jinx, who cried out at the sight of Caitlyn.
"Don't do it Caitlyn, this iz not allowed!" Fiora warned, boldly stepping forward. But Caitlyn simply flipped her hair at Fiora, getting in position to smash her foe like a batter getting ready for a homerun.
"Stop it!" Ezreal shifted in between the two rivals. "I don't even care anymore that Jinx just destroyed an artifact that was over five-thousand years old during her last raid of Piltover. Sure, I want to get even, but this is monstrous! I've never seen such a calm and collected woman like you turn into a mad, raging beast like Tryndamere! You need to stop or you will be even more severely punished by the League! I can only imagine what they have in store for you seeing that you completely ignored your Summoner and the Champion's code." Ezreal's eyebrows knitted together, glaring at his teammate, but Caitlyn just looked up at him with dark eyes and an unnatural grin. The sheriff swung the hammer around and batted the Prodigal Explorer away from her. Caitlyn heaved the hammer over her shoulder and brought it down upon the Loose Cannon, who stared at her with a look of pure fear.
"No, you won't!" Vi yelled, diving over to the miscreant, catching the hammer in one armored hand.
"Get out of my way!" Caitlyn shouted.
"Caitlyn, this isn't detaining a criminal, this is fucking becoming one by committing murder, and not the kind that takes place in Summoner's Rift! It's not even in your place to take Jinx down, it's mine. So you better back off!" Vi glared at the Sheriff. As Caitlyn opened her mouth to say something, the purple team's nexus shattered. The Summoners had agreed to surrender. Vi looked up again to see the Sheriff open-mouthed and staring in horror at Jinx. Just as Vi was about to say another word, a bright light enveloped her and she was whisked away from the Rift.
Piltover's star enforcer opened her refrigerator and got a can of Graggy Ice. Her last match was certainly a weird one. Weirder than the match she was in which Katarina started shunpo-ing over the enemy walls and diving into the fountain. Weirder than the match that Vayne and Ashe were having a catfight over whom looked better in their Heartseeker costume. Draven had to open his big mouth. But honestly, there was something seriously wrong with Caitlyn. Both her and Jinx were rushed away by a group of Summoners as soon as the Champions were transported to the Summoning Room. But Vi had to wait to find out what was wrong with her partner in a few days. 'When everything gets better.'
Yawning, the officer made her way to her living room and turned on her 40-inch Plasma Screen Mana 00207 HD Limited Edition TV Set complete with the popular gaming console, Summon Station 3 and a mini-bar! All good things come from Piltover. Especially technology. Don't forget the technology. The one-girl-wrecking-crew sighed and flipped through the channels, but one distinct image caught her eye.
"This is Janna reporting from the Piltover Broadcast Station Network! Wow! What a sight! Below us stands the wreckage from last night's raid which seems to have been caused by Jinx, also known as 'The Loose Cannon' who actually competes as a champion in the League of Legends! It's been a three month hiatus since she's caused any wreckage in the City of Progress, but she's back! Taking down half of the Piltover Police Department as well as the Prodigal Explorer's office at the top of Piltover's local museum, she's certainly made her mark… literally." Vi had enough of the news containing the savagery of her town, but the screen cut to an image shot from a helicopter. From above Era Square looking down, she could see Jinx's signature 'X' and hundreds of people running around, sobbing, crying and really riled up. A video clip was shown of a man yelling at an old woman and threatening to end her life. The Enforcer's eyes widened as she saw the chaos. This couldn't be Jinx. Jinx's pandemonium lasted only while she was around. Once she disappeared, the anarchy that followed her dissipated as well. She would not want to miss out on this kind of cringe-worthy "fun". But the signature was there, and the pink and blue smoke. I mean, come on, she had blue clouds tattooed onto her arm, and this was her style of destruction. There had to be something more to this.
"Over at Mayfair Avenue, the same commotion ensues," Janna continued, "And what remains is just as disastrous as well. Four casualties to add to the sixteen over at Era Square and witnesses who watched from the safety of their homes say they this was a job done by Annie, who also competes in the League of Legends. She gave out pouches that were filled with explosives to random fans and admirers which detonated and filled the district with the same smoke contaminating Era Square. We're still waiting on a result on what this gas contains and if it may be the cause of the strange behavior that plagues the two locations. Piltover, pray that we can clean up once more from the Loose Cannon's wreckage. I'm Janna, a very gloomy reporter, and this is PBSN." Vi sat there, stunned. Annie and Jinx? After all, they were very close on the last match they had together. The Rift Watchers Broadcast Station was still playing the clip of the Loose Cannon and the Dark Child out-playing Yasuo.
Screw finding out in a few days– Vi had to get to the bottom of this. Now.
