A/N: Ugh. I'm gonna level with you guys. I'm having a hard time thinking of ways to advance the story. Also, there are some dumb mistakes I made that I only noticed at the last minute. Story is almost finished, but you can be DAMN sure this fanfic is going to end with a HUGE blast.
P.S: I have a secret for you guys... but I ain't telling. Heh heh heh.
Caitlyn had immediately gathered the other officers of the law, along with any miner that would help clear the rubble that blocked off the mine. The miners had explained that no one could survive such a cave-in. Especially if explosives had been placed throughout the tunnels. The Sheriff immediately told them to stuff it in a polite manner. They were to continue digging, however, no one told her it could take days, and perhaps weeks just to clear through the rubble that blocked the entrance.
The sun was slowly setting, and everyone was preparing to leave. Caitlyn walked over to the rubble before clenching her hands into fists. As she did so, she whispered aloud to herself so that only she could hear.
"Damnit, Vi... you better be alive... that's an order."
She was just about to turn to leave until a small movement in the rubble caught her attention. A small rock had fell down the pile of rubble, long with several more. She felt a large smile grow on her face before she called out to the others and told them of what transpired. Immediately, they began to continue their work until the sound of fish colliding with rock became louder.
They all began to back away, then, in one swift moment. The rubble had been blasted away from the inside with a large hextech fist.
And the Enforcer stepped out into fresh air. Along with a bound and gagged Jinx slung over her shoulder. Mayor Lipton walking beside her, trying desperately to dust himself off of the dirt that his suit had collected.
Thunderous applause was their greeting. The reformed criminal approached the Sheriff of Piltover with a large grin as the crowd followed. Several officers immediately went by the Mayor's side, taking the liberty of acting as escorts.
Vi was the first to speak as the applause died down.
"Sheriff. Criminal apprehended." was her smart-arsed responded.
Caitlyn folded her arms before allowing herself a smirk.
"Good job... officer."
The Mayor added in his own compliment, "Piltover's Finest, indeed."
The Enforcer glanced to the sky, as if some unseen force could see her.
Thanks, Riven.
"Now then." Vi began. "Let's get this scum into her cell. She was long overdue for a booking."
And with that, Piltover's Finest walked away with criminal in hand, and from that day onwards, everything changed.
Everything had changed.
The Next Morning.
Vi once again, sat in Caitlyn's office, looking at this morning's news article which read:
BOUND AND GAGGED! PILTOVER'S FINEST CATCH THE LOOSE CANNON! THE ENFORCER RESCUES MAYOR LIPTON!
The pink-haired woman smirked at the title before skimming over the details, more interested in the part where she was mentioned in great detail. Satisfied with the results, she crumpled the newspaper before tossing it into a nearby trash bin.
Score.
The brunette walked in with cup of tea in hand, taking a small delicate sip as she savoured every ounce. She took a seat behind her desk before giving her friend another smile. To which the other returned.
Now there was only one thing left to do. Question Jinx as to what Viktor did to their friend, Jayce. But somehow, Vi had a feeling she wouldn't like the answer.
Nevertheless, there was a job to do. And they both knew it. So, they both took a few minutes to prepare. (and allow Caitlyn to finish her tea) and set off to the interrogation room where the Loose Cannon awaits.
It was decided that the Sheriff would go first and play the role of good cop. Meanwhile, Vi would (obviously) hold the role of bad cap. So, instead, the brunette ordered the Enforcer to stay put behind the mirrored window which would allow anyone from the outside to view the conversation, while as the individuals on the inside would only see themselves.
Caitlyn held her hands folded in front of her as she eyed the girl in front of her. Despite being in custody, the stupid smile still remained on her face.
"Let's skip the tea and biscuits. What has Viktor done to Jayce?"
"Jayce? You mean that robot guy with the arms? Pfff, Viktor improved him silly!"
"I'll ask once more. What has he done to Jayce?"
"Hat Lady, you're going to have to open your mind a bit here. That's exactly what Viktor, did he IMPROVED him. At least in his mind anyway!"
"What is Viktor planning? It must be something grand, if you choose to help him."
"Where's Fat Hands? I'd rather talk to her!"
"I'm sure she's around here somewhere. Now answer the question that was asked."
Jinx rolled her eyes, "Letsee here... Viktor plans on taking over Piltover! Yeah, that's it. So, by taking Jayce out of the picture... and by that I mean replace his body with a robot one! He even took out his brain! I mean you think I'M crazy? You should see that guy. I think his head lost a few bolts if you know what I mean."
"And how exactly does he intend to do that?"
"You'll find out soon enough!" Was her prompt response.
Caitlyn blinked, a little disturbed by the answer. Viktor was obviously planning something on a massive scale to prompt Jinx to join his cause. Had any employed anyone else? If so, who? Jayce was already an accomplice... albeitingly, an unwilling one... somewhat.
It was also painfully obvious the Jayce they knew was gone, and they had no hope of bringing him back.
"Let me tell you this, Hat Lady. Machine Head has plans for the entire world. Not just Piltover. What he has in mind will make even Noxus poop their pants!"
And with that rather unsettling piece of information, Caitlyn exitted the room. With a disgruntled enforcer waiting about.
"So, do I get a crack at her or what?" she inquired.
"That may not be necessary, Vi. Even with this little information we've gathered, it's immensely unsettling. For now, I think it's best to keep on high alert."
"Gotcha."
...
The Creator looked on as his army was undergoing preparations. It is time to unleash the evolution about Runeterra. The first attack would begin with the City of Progress. He commanded his assistants to activate the power core to charge the entirety of his army.
And then, the slow hum of machine and it's inner workings could be heard.
All at once, the soldiers of his army had activated and behind it was a large hanger door. It opened to unleash a horde of battlecast machines modeled after the champions known as Cho'gath Kog'maw, Urgot, and Skarner.
One by one, multiple clones began pouring out each moment. An endless horde of machines to ravage this world.
And it would be unleashed.
Basking in this glorious moment the Creator began to speak.
"The final hour dawns upon us! Runeterra shall finally behold the Evolution in all it's glory! And you, my army, will spearhead the invasion!"
He paced back and forth on the balcony as he continued to speak.
"Let none stand in your way! Exterminate all life!"
Then suddenly, multiple arms extended from the nearby walls and began to take the Creator apart, replacing his limbs with upgraded ones.
His Evolution was complete.
One last arm had given him his staff, a power crystal resting at the tip. The long length of the staff was purple and robotic in nature. Over his metal hull of a body, a dark purple labcoat. His head lacking any distinct features, just a simple robotic skull. His third arm had been replaced with a pulse cannon.
He raised his staff toward the doors which slowly opened and revealed the world to his army.
"FOR THE EVOLUTION!"
