Jinx was sitting in her safehouse. She was in Piltover for not so long, but she already got a house and wanted posters all over town. Wasn't in funny? She then smelled something unpleasant. It smelled like Singed's poison? She knew his poison had a smell that had a large radius, but this large? It was or someone had something that smelled the same, or Singed was close. Jinx looked outside of her window. There was a skyscraper right in front of her. She then heard the sound of Fat Hands her dash. FAT HANDS! Thought Jinx. Always when she saw Fat Hands it always was fun. She saw Singed coming on the rooftop. She heard gunshots, that sounded like the sound of Hat lady's gun. Was Singed followed by Piltover's 'Finest'? Anyhow, this was going to be fun! Jinx grabbed a rope from a drawer and opened the window. Luckily the skyscraper wasn't far away, only a little more than 15 meters. She threw the rope on the skyscraper. ''Gotta' die sometime!'' She climbed the rope and then jumped on the rooftop. She could see everyone's surprised face. ''Hi! Am I late to the party?''
Viktor had just finished his second acolyte. It was going pretty fast at this speed. There was, however, 1 problem. Electricity was enough for now, but it would eventually be too weak to power a whole army. He would need a new source of power. ''Find a new source of energy that fits my conditions.'' Said Viktor. Searching… Target found. Name: Arcane Crystal. Current location: Jayce technologies. Piltover. Viktor ordered the acolytes to find more acolytes and augment them. Viktor was going to Piltover. A while later he arrived at Jayce's lab. He would make an offer. Together they would advance the Glorious Evolution! Viktor was standing in front of the door now. He knocked a few times. Jayce opened the door. ''Hello, Welcome to Jayce Technologies! How can I help you?'' Asked Jayce in a polite tone. Running ID-Scan.. ID confirmed, Jayce. ''A good day, Jayce. My name is Viktor, may I come in?'' Jayce walked out of the way so Viktor could enter. It was pretty nice inside. The walls were made of iron, even the floors. Almost everything was white. There he saw it, the Arcane Crystal. It was lying in a glass box. Viktor walked towards it. ''Jayce, I am the Machine Herald. Maybe you have heard of me, maybe you didn't. But I was here to make you an offer. If you gave me the Arcane Crystal, we could advance The Glorious Evolution together. What say you?'' Jayce didn't say anything for a little while. But then he finally said something. ''Are you crazy? Why would you change humanity? The answer is no! Please leave. Viktor was hurt. How could someone not want this new technology? He had no intention of leaving empty handed though. ''If you insist, I could take it with force.'' Viktor smashed the glass around the crystal. The glass shattered all over the floor. ''Hey! Stop that right now!'' Shouted Jayce. Jayce jumped on Viktor. ''Get off me!'' Shouted Viktor angrily. ''Get out of my lab!'' shouted Jayce back. Enemy has been detected attacking Client. Increasing body warmth to 80%. Viktor's body started to heat up. It was getting so hot that Jayce started to scream, and fell. His hand were all red. Viktor grabbed the crystal and put it in his pocket. ''You leave me no choice….'' Said Jayce. He pushed a red button under his desk. The room became red. Jayce jumped under his desk. Detecting Enemy Mechanical Movements. Enabling Siphon Shield… Machine guns came out of the walls. They started shooting. Smoke filled the room. After a while the guns probably overheated and stopped. Jayce opened his eyes. The smoke slowly disappeared. But was surprised that Viktor was unharmed. ''He had a shield?'' The third arm of Viktor started to glow and started to shoot a laser beam. It melted all the guns in the wall. Viktor shook his head. ''Your security is feeble. I should get going, goodbye.'' And with that Viktor left the room.
Singed and the others were all speechless when they saw Jinx. ''Well babe, it seems we have to work overtime.'' Said Vi while she charged her gauntlet. ''Agreed, we are on the case.'' Said Caitlyn while she aimed her rifle. ''Time for a little fight then!'' Shouted Jinx back. She grabbed Pow-Pow and started to spray and pray. Vi blocked most of the bullets with her gauntlets. She then dashed toward Jinx and Singed. ''Look out!'' Shouted Singed. He threw a potion in front of Vi, and when the bottle landed it exploded, leaving a sticky yellow liquid on the floor which made Vi dash slower. Caitlyn shot toward Singed, just missing his head a few inches it did hit his bottle on his back. Poison started to leak. He had to fix it fast before it all leaked and killed whole Piltover. ''We have to go Jinx!'' Shouted Singed while he grabbed Jinx arm and jumped on the rope and climbed toward the safe house. ''Wait, I wasn't finished yet! See ya, FAT HANDS!'' Shouted Jinx back. Vi tried to stop them but was stopped by the cloud of poison left by Singed. ''Damn it.'' Was the only reaction of the two.
When they reached the safe house Singed immediately ran towards a table. He grabbed a bandage out of his pocket and put it on the hole in the bottle. It did work. Jinx cut the rope and closed the window. ''So, why are you here, Singed?'' Asked Jinx. Singed took a seat at the table and Jinx joined him. ''Viktor has created a robot body for himself, and now seeks to replace all humans. But the worst part is that Viktor has removed his emotions. It's just a matter of time before he loses all of his humanity! I tried to convince him, but I guess I am not important enough to Viktor to change him. But you however.'' Said Singed while he looked Jinx in her eyes. ''Can change him back.'' Jinx looked away and walked toward the window. She opened it again and her hair flew in all directions because of the wind. ''You have to do it! You are the only one! He was like a father to you!'' Said Singed while he stood up. ''I am trying to care! But I just.. Can't.'' Was her response. Singed sighed. He walked toward Jinx and stopped beside her. He also looked out of the window. ''I know much had changed. Viktor left you behind. But everyone deserves a second chance, right? Please, he helped you. Isn't it time to return the favour when it's time?'' It looked like Jinx had a headache because she placed her hands on her head and made a painful face. ''I am thinking! Ugh, how do people do this..'' Singed placed his hands on her shoulders. ''You don't need to think about this. Just do it.'' And Jinx nodded in response.
Jayce was sitting at his desk. He tried to contact the government, but they just ignored him! He couldn't just let that maniac do what he pleases! He had to stop him! Jayce grabbed a paper and a pencil. He had to design a weapon that was able to destroy him, but also keep him off a distance. He started sketching. The final result was a gigantic Warhammer that could transform into a crossbow. This was the invention that could destroy that maniac! Now he only had to make it. After a few hours it was finished. He called it the mercury hammer. He tested the hammer. It had a function that the hammer would transmit energy all around him, probably destroying everything in is way. When he transformed it into a crossbow it was also able to shoot a big plasma ball that exploded on impact. Jayce walked toward the wardrobe. He grabbed an old Piltovian pilot suit. ''Looks like your suit wasn't that useless after all, granddad. And with that Jayce marched toward Zaun.
Viktor was watching his work. The arcane crystal did a fine job powering all his machines. His acolytes were pretty proud too. Suddenly a big blast took all the attention of Viktor and his acolytes. The door flew away. Jayce marched in. Jayce was terrified to see Viktor's terrifying machines. He realised the only way to stop him was to destroy the arcane crystal. ''What are you doing here?'' Asked Viktor. ''I am here to stop you, maniac!'' Viktor signalled to his acolytes to attack Jayce. The acolytes all jumped on Jayce. Jayce's hammer transmitted sparks all around him, leaving many out cold. The others continued rushing towards him. He transformed the hammer into a crossbow and shot a plasma ball. It exploded when it hit an acolyte, and disabling them too. Jayce ran towards the arcane crystal to destroy it, but Viktor started clapping. ''A nice invention you have there. How do you call it? At least it is a bit better than your security system.'' Said Viktor. Jayce started to get angry. ''Shut up! Come over here and fight me!'' Shouted Jayce back. Viktor walked off the stairs and stopped 10 meters in front of Jayce. The Arcane crystal was on the other side of the room. Jayce shouted ''For Piltover!'' And charged toward Viktor. ''Adapt, or be removed!'' Shouted Viktor and readied his laser. Viktor shot a laser in front of Jayce, Jayce's leg got hit. It wasn't that bad. Jayce shot a plasma ball towards Viktor. Viktor's left arm got hit. He was lucky it was made of metal, otherwise it would have burned off. Viktor noticed Jayce ran right over a Gravity field. He quickly activated it with his wand. Jayce noticed it too late, and got stunned inside the gravity field. Viktor threw the Chaos Storm prototype in the air. Jayce didn't had enough time to evade it, he quickly used his hammer for protection, but his arms got hit. When Chaos Storm deactivated Jayce fell on the ground. Viktor walked slowly toward Jayce. But Jayce was just faking he was out cold and quickly stood up. Before Viktor could react, he was slammed in the wall by Jayce his hammer. Viktor cried out the pain. He was able to deactivate emotions, but he wasn't able to disable pain. Viktor shot a laser beam at point blanc. It did hit Jayce's leg, and he fell too. Viktor was unable to walk, and Jayce was unable to stand normally anymore. Viktor was less wounded then Jayce, but he wasn't able to walk because his robotic legs were too damaged. They needed time to reboot. Jayce walked slowly toward the crystal and stopped right in front of it. He sighed and readied his hammer. He then slammed his hammer into the crystal, making it shatter everywhere. Most light turned off, only the main lamps that were on the roof were still on. Viktor tried to stand up but he couldn't. Jayce's and Viktor gaze met each other for a few seconds, and Viktor entered hibernate mode. His time would come.
Jinx was packing her stuff and Singed got a little time to take a nap. He was waked by Jinx. ''I am ready! Let's go!'' Singed got up. They both walked out of the safe house. But when they tried to walk to the station a big crowd of people stood in their way. They were all shouting ''Hero! Defender of Tomorrow!'' Singed and Jinx walked in the crowd to see what was going on. They saw paramedics carrying a man. His leg was burned and his shoulders too. Singed looked a bit closer. He was wearing a Piltovian pilot suit. But that wasn't bothering him. The thing that was bothering him was that the burns, they weren't normal wounds. It really looked like a laser beam hit his leg and his shoulders were burned by thunder it seemed. But that laser, it wasn't just laser, it seemed the laser left a little explosion. There was only one man he knew that did such a thing. And that was Viktor. Singed walked closer in the crowd and Jinx followed him. ''Who did you fight?'' Shouted Singed. Jayce seemed to notice him and looked at him. ''I fought a mad inventor called Viktor!'' Shouted Jayce. Singed and Jinx froze that instant. ''Did you kill him?'' Shouted Singed but this time Jayce didn't seem to notice. ''Let's go to Viktor's lab.'' He will need us if he's still alive. Jinx nodded and they rushed towards the station.
Scanning for hardware malfunctions… 4 detected. Running automatic repair… Fixed 2. Legs and torso are functioning, but aren't working optimal. Advising client to fix it. Shoulders and mask weren't able to be fixed by automatic repair. Shoulder efficiency decreased by 60%. Legs and torso by 25%. Charisma decreased by 42%. End transmission. 42%? That was a quite troubling number indeed. He looked at the clock. He was out cold for about 3 hours. His acolytes were still out cold. He really had to upgrade the armour. Viktor walked toward the surgeon table. He climbed on it and started the monitor. He clicked 'Repair.' Robotic arms were moving around his body now. Probably scanning for flaws. They then started to operate. After a while Viktor was able to move normally. He felt that it was finished and looked at the monitor. ''Surgery completed.'' The arms stopped and hid themselves under the table. Viktor stood up. He ordered the paramedic robots to put his acolytes on the surgeon tables too. Some were awake, but they didn't seem to be able to move. Viktor sighed. It would take hours to repair his acolytes. They were much more wounded than him. Viktor looked in the mirror. He looked normal again. For someone who didn't know the fight took place, would never notice it. Now only the lab had to be repaired. There was a hole in the wall, were Viktor lied, and there were remains of Viktor's laser everywhere. The crystal's shards were all on the ground. Viktor sighed. He had to use electricity and steam engines to power his lab. His acolytes would repair the lab. For now he had to take a patrol outside too check the outside. Viktor walked to the door. When he pushed the door, (He found it stupid that you pushed the door to the outside, it could hit someone. He really had to fix that) he fell that he hit something, he hear a soft ''Ouch!'' It sounded like a girl's voice. He couldn't see who was outside. Who could it be? The Zaunite police? He was still wanted, but nobody knew he had augmented. Viktor walked outside and walked into Singed. ''Singed?'' Asked Viktor. ''Viktor! You are still alive! How are you not wounded?'' ''I have fixed myself-wait, how did you know?'' Asked Viktor. Viktor looked at Jinx, who was sitting on the ground. She seemed to be pretty mad. ''We came across a guy who was wounded, he was seen as a hero, so we asked why and he said because he fought you.'' Viktor sighed and crouched to look at Jinx eye to eye. ''I apologize for pushing the door in your face. I really have to-'' Viktor was cut by a bitch clap. Viktor and Singed were shocked. ''How could you?'' Cried Jinx out loud. Viktor was shocked. He didn't feel hurt though, but he did feel a shock through his body. Jinx started to punch repeatedly on Viktor's torso. Not that hard, but Viktor did back off. They entered the building. Luckily the acolytes were out cold because of the surgeon table.
''What are you doing Jinx?'' Asked Viktor when he stopped moving. Jinx stopped. ''Why? I know you were hurt. But how could you hide your feelings behind your mask? Why did you? How could you!'' Cried Jinx out loud. She fell on the ground and started crying. Viktor was shocked once again. Including Singed this time. Singed crouched and hugged Jinx. Viktor was feeling hurt. He started crying. How was this even possible? He had disabled emotions! ''What is the status of the emotions disabler?'' Shouted Viktor. ''0%'' Said the voice out loud this time. ''Detecting malfunctions, Using automatic repair…'' Viktor's mask exploded. Viktor fell to the ground. Was it because of his emotions disabler? Detected mask failing. Shutting mask off… Viktor pulled his mask off with all his might. Revealing his face. It was paler than before. It was filled with tears. ''How?'' Mumbled Viktor. ''Coward!'' Shouted Jinx. The third arm came out of Viktor's back. It started glowing. ''Running defence system. Locking Laser into targets.'' Viktor seemed to focused on his emotions too notice it. Singed grabbed Jinx and ran away. Just on time, the laser beam followed Singed, but didn't seem to hit him. ''You were one of them! You were one of the maniacs who treated me and my sisters like mere objects! You don't deserve it to hide your feelings anymore!'' Yelled Jinx at Viktor. Viktor immediately looked at Jinx. His third arm was disabled. ''What?'' Mumbled Viktor confused. Singed dropped Jinx on the ground. Jinx eyes were red of crying. She grabbed Pow Pow. ''Do you really think I laugh at everything? No, of course I don't! You used your mask to hide your feelings. I laughed to hide them. Because if everyone think I am a psycho, no one will ask me!'' Jinx started to aim her gun at Viktor. ''Don't you remember? You were on of the scientists! You were the one who took care of us. You promised us one day you would get us out. But you only got my sister out! You just left me there to die!'' Shouted Jinx. Singed was shocked by the insult and looked at Viktor to check Viktor's response. Viktor couldn't move. Jinx started shooting. Viktor didn't move. The bullets pierced through Viktor's armour.
It hurts.
It really hurts.
Crimson red liquid left Viktor's body. He started to feel weak. Fatal injuries detected. Advising client to visit a doctor immediately. Viktor fell on his back. He couldn't move anything. Everything started to become unclear. He couldn't see well anymore. So is this how it feels to be dead? Thought Viktor. He knew he was dying. Killer by the same child he raised. No bigger shame like that existed. Viktor saw a figure that looked like Singed next to him. He turned his head toward Jinx. She seemed to be shocked too. Well, it didn't matter anymore. He was going to die anyway. He mumbled a ''I am sorry.'' Everything became black.
Jinx was shocked. She couldn't move, just like Viktor. What has she done? Jinx stood up and ran toward Viktor. Singed was carrying Viktor on his back. ''There is one doctor I know that can fix this. We have to hurry!'' shouted Singed while he ran toward the door.
''I am sorry.''
''What for?''
''For shooting Viktor.''
''You shouldn't apologize to me,'' said Singed. Jinx followed Singed through the streets. Luckily it was already night, so there weren't many people around. They arrived at a big building. It was an old building. Looked like the one who lived there didn't do much with it. Singed rammed the door in and kept running.
''Are you sure ramming the door was a good idea?''
''Says the one who destroys buildings.''
''Good point,'' said Jinx. The corridor they were in was pretty long. Strange, it was a pretty big flat but there was no one here. What made them all leave the place? It wasn't that bad. Singed then took the staircase that led to the basement. He also rammed the door of the basement. Jinx just followed him inside. The basement was pretty big. It looked like a medical lab. Singed put Viktor on a table. Then a shadow appeared. ''Mundo didn't see you in a very long time.'' Jinx was surprised. Mundo? He was the last person she expected to see. ''Mundo, as you can see, we can really use your help,'' said Singed. Mundo came closer. He was just as purple as ever. He seemed to be inspecting Viktor's wounds. ''Mundo can fix this, but this is just an experiment and is dange-'' ''Doesn't matter, just heal him,'' said Singed. Mundo nodded and opened a drawer. He grabbed a syringe filled with purple liquid. Jinx raised an eyebrow. ''You aren't going to make him another Mundo right?'' asked Jinx. Mundo looked at Jinx. ''Mundo doesn't like someone who asks questions about his experiments.'' Singed sighed and signalled with his hands that Jinx should shut up. Mundo readied the syringe and put it in one of the wounds, so it wouldn't be blocked by metal. Viktor's body started to shake. Then his heart stopped. ''His heart stopped!'' shouted Jinx. ''Mundo has everything under control. If he dies we could try it again. If that fails we can use the model Urgot has. If that doesn't work we have necromancy.'' Said Mundo. Singed seemed to chuckle. ''How can you laugh at this?'' asked Jinx angry. Singed immediately stopped. Viktor's heart started to beat again. Jinx sighed. ''Looks like you have a lot to explain to me and Viktor,'' said Singed. ''Like Mundo said, this is an experiment. I do not know what aftereffects it will have. It could be dangerous, or nothing might happen at all.'' Singed nodded. It all looked normal, but it seemed it indeed had an unpleasant aftereffect…..
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Hey people. I am sorry it took me longer to write this story then I had intended. But don't worry, I will finish this story. And no, Viktor will not turn into a Mundo, don't worry about that. It seemed it was a more emotional chapter than a violent chapter. Sorry about that. Next chapter I will write a story about that. If you don't know what I mean I mean what Jinx was talking about when she shot Viktor. Well, Thanks for reading the chapter. Have a Jinxed day!
