08: Dynasties & Dystopia
Play Prowler Miles Start-A-Band Theme (Naruto's theme in this verse)
"Get out of my way Naruto." Vi warned.
"Come make me." Naruto challenged.
"Naruto you get in my way I'm going through you."
"This ain't like when we were kids, Vi." Naruto warned as he began bouncing on the spot.
Vi smirked at the familiar rhythm he set into.
The silence was eerie, and several silent observers watched on distracted by the drama while others focused on the fallen blue gemstone.
Caitlyn tried to inch forward drawing Naruto attention.
Vi moved in quickly kicking the revolver from the blonde's hand.
"Shit," Naruto cursed as Vi stepped in from the kick and launched a right cross.
The blonde's surprise turned into a smirk as he rotated around inside of extending fist invading the brawlers guard and lashing out with a reverse roundhouse kick.
The heel of his boot connected with a pop that took the girl off her feet.
Naruto smirked from his position as he watched recover almost immediately "Still just a boxer… disappointing." The blonde smirked before the hair on the back of his neck stood up, 'What the?' he thought as he sensed something.
Before anything else could happen Naruto moved leaping back towards Jinx.
Jinx narrowed her gaze at Naruto leaping to her. "Company?" she asked as an electromagnetic shield enveloped the pair just as two bullet shaped bolts covered in green static stopped dead as the contacted the bubble.
Suddenly the sky was alight with green as several masked figures stormed out the pipes and encircled the group.
"Firelighters." Naruto said as he recognised the masked anywhere.
While Caitlyn ducked for cover Naruto, Jinx and Vi who had looked slightly worried about the newcomers as she stood back to back with sister and adopted brother.
Naruto waved his hand and the revolver flew back into his hand. "Jinx you with me?"
"Always." Jinx snarled annoyed at the flying twerps interrupting family business before firing off her minigun at the aerial threats surrounding them.
One firelight flew into close and got a nasty right hook from Vi which knocked them to the ground.
Another firelight with iron pipe in hand tried swing at Vi in retaliation.
Without a word Naruto hopped into the air and connected with a lariat before the rider could swing at Vi's head. The firelight crumpled as he launched back off his board crashing hard near the edge of the building.
Vi glanced at him in surprise before she spotted the tall one she just punched out get back up and head in her way.
Naruto didn't pay anymore mind as he was concerned he was just taking care of an enemy. He moved back to Jinx's back as both fired off the respective weapons as well as shielding them from this bolt sniper who kept taking pot shots at the pair.
A female Firelight flew in low before Caitlyn jumped out and clocked her with the butt of her rifle knocking her to the ground.
"Looks like the piltie got some fight in her." Naruto laughed as he ducked an iron pipe aiming for his head as he was in the middle of reloading.
A look of annoyance flashed across Jinx's face before she swung her minigun into a firelight trying to sneak up on the blonde.
With the firelights wings clipped Jinx aimed ready to finish off the girl but she heard something coming. With a smirk she turned around drawing her Pow pow gun and blasting the mineral grenade the used in their last heist shattering the crystal shards before they could entrap her.
Jinx then used her flexibility to lean back letting the firelight fly over head before attaching a chomping grenade to the back of the board as it flew away. Jinx watched the firelight leap from his board just before grenade detonated.
'Damn,' Jinx thought before a gunshot echoed past her head clipping the leaping firelight in the shoulder making him miss his landing and hit the ground hard.
"Thank's for having my back." Naruto said with small smile before pulling Jinx out of the way as firelight leaped from the skies above with warcry smashing the board over Naruto's head.
Jinx stared at this short chick with green sparks flickering off her clothes.
Naruto held his hand back. "I got this Jinx…"
The girl frowned but nodded before she began focusing on other targets.
Vi was coming with a ferocity that this was some gang trying harm her sister so no quarter, no mercy was giving as she continued to beat down on the tall Zaunite. As she went to swing a wild spray of bullets almost hit her.
'Powder?' Vi thought in alarm as she watched sister cackle as she unloaded without a care for anyone else.
Naruto was completely fine from Jinx's onslaught. As he smirked as couple of her bullets backed against his magnetic bubble. 'And that's the reason why I'm her normal partner.' The blonde thought as the shorter firelight came in swinging.
Naruto looked on amused as he blocked the initial strike his palm, but what surprised him was when girl captured his wrist and slid between the blonde's legs while pulling his arm along for the ride.
Naruto used his strength to stay upright but the firelight flipped up landing on his shoulders.
She struck him in the temple twice before he grabbed her wrist.
"Get the fuck off!" he snapped as he flung the shorter girl off him crashing into the blue hair enforcer in a tangle of limbs. The bird masked firelight gasped in surprise before black smoke covered the roof and Two of the female firelights and the enforcer were gone.
Jinx side stepped a gravity assisted clubbing blow before taking he mini gun and smashing it into the face of the muscular firelight.
The firelight fell to his knees as she beat him senseless.
A slimmer firelight with pinkish hair flew at Jinx as she danced out of the way and managed to clip his board causing him to fall off.
But he rolled with and decided to leap back onto his board.
"Powder!" Vi tried to call out but a Caitlyn's rifle cracked her in the jaw sending her unconscious.
Jinxed continued to fire at the last Firelight in the sky buzzing around before the one she just beat slashed her in the leg.
"Gaah!" she cried as she looked down at the ape masked wearing firelight but before she could do anything Naruto came charging over.
His form rippled static as he tackled and mounted the man and began repeatedly smashing his fists into the mask protect face of the firelight.
"You don't fucking touch her." Naruto shouted as he did not give the man a chance to respond or make amends.
The pain snapped Jinx out of her bloodlust as she saw Two more Firelights carrying her sister like a sack of potatoes. "Like cockroaches I swear." She muttered before she charged but it was too late as black smoke filled the roof and all the firelights was gone.
Even the one Naruto had left heavily concussed for making Jinx bleed. Only blood and shatter mask pieces remained. The blonde winced as he stood up. 'Damn, what hit me?' Naruto thought as he pulled a literal bolt that was shot into his shoulder. "That's gonna bruise…" he muttered as he looked toward Jinx.
"Vi?" Jinx called out to no response before she felt Naruto hand on her shoulder. With tears in her eyes, she turned and fell into his arms. "She was real, that was real right?"
"My bloody mouth says yes that was real." Naruto responded, "Now let's go back home get you patched up and we can regroup."
Jinx just nodded as she curled up as the blonde picked up one of the discarded firelight boards and decided to take fast way home.
(Song End)
Silco stormed into his office, coughing and brushing off debris. His first action is to pour himself a stiff drink, highlighting his need for composure. As he settles at his desk, he's confronted with an unexpected sight: Sevika, his second-in-command, bound and humiliated.
The word "liar" scrawled across Sevika's forehead in pink paint is a clear signature of Jinx's handiwork. This discovery adds another layer of complexity to Silco's already tumultuous day. His exasperated utterance of "Jinx... damn it" reveals a mix of anger and resignation, suggesting this isn't the first time he's had to deal with Jinx's unpredictable behaviour.
"Now this with her sister back I guess it's expected… damn that fool Marcus."
Jinx's eyesight blurred as Naruto held her close the artificial lights for her to squint. 'Bleeding out fucking sucks,' she thought before giggling as she felt a jolt of pain.
"Vi I think she should come with us… Leaving Powder doesn't sit right." Naruto's voiced echoed in her mind.
Jinx snapped out of the memory as her eyes widened with pain.
"Sorry, this is going to hurt like a lot." Naruto explained as he had laid Jinx down somewhere and pour more alcohol down her leg.
As the girl shot up from the sting she could recognise that they were in the workshop before she passed out falling back into the cot.
"I need you to sit this one out Powder."
"What?"
"You're not coming."
"Why, I'm not afraid… It's for Vander."
"It's too dangerous…"
"But family stick together." Powder snapped with heat in her voice. "You said it yourself."
"I know what I said." Vi started with diplomacy in her tone.
"I want to fight! I can help!" Powder interrupted.
"You're not ready!" Vi snapped. "Not for this… You're all I have left I can't lose you." She softened as she hugged her sister.
"Vi I think she should come with us… Leaving Powder doesn't sit right." Naruto said as he stepped in front of Mylo and Claggor.
"You didn't see what I saw Naruto… What happened to Benzo." Vi nearly sobbed. 'Got to hold it together.' She buried the fear before picking up Vander's gauntlets and stuffing them into the bag.
"But what if someone comes for her while we ain't here?" he pointed out.
"Enough!" Vi shouted. "She's my family not yours."
The room went silent.
Naruto said nothing but Vi saw the boy's face.
The blonde walked forward past Vi and knelt before Powder, so he was little closer to the girl's height. "We're gonna go get Vander and be right back. So don't you worry about a thing." The blonde smiled a forced grin before pulling her into a deep hug.
Powder didn't say anything but just hugged the boy back as she sniffled slightly before they broke contact.
Naruto turned to leave bumping Vi's shoulder on his way past.
"Naru wait." Vi called out but the boy was already up the stairs. "Shit." She cursed. 'I'll make it up to him later.' She thought before turning to Powder, "Here this is a flare if anyone comes for you… You run and fire this anywhere and I'll find you." She hugged her sister once more. "I promise."
Vi turned to leave to see only Mylo standing before her.
"Claggor went to check on Naruto." Mylo said as she nodded.
"Come on let's go… Little man followed them so where heading to the abandoned docks."
"Fuck me!" Jinx shouted as she snapped awake to see Naruto with a staple gun in hand stitching her wound close.
"I know this sucks my bad." Naruto apologised before his finger pulled the trigger.
'Oh bye, bye consciousness.' She thought as the pain and wound was also making her delirious, more than usual.
Powder had just climbed up the drainpipe and found a slit window to where her eyes widened at what she saw.
Vi stepping up to a big tattooed bald man wielding a 12-inch knife.
Armed with Vander's gauntlets she stepped up, deflected the first blow and sparks flew but then Vi shot up like coiled spring and gent the man flying with an uppercut.
Then Powder spotted more movement.
"Vi duck!" Naruto shouted as he leapt onto the railing of the bridge before leaping off launching a dropkick to the man's chest sending him into handful of goons before them.
"Naruto get back."
"Now is not the time." The blonde snapped as he ducked as Vi through where his head would 've been and knocked another goon over the edge of the narrow lane.
'They're going to do it?' Powder thought as foe after foe everyone fell before Vi and Naruto even if they took a few licks too during this stalling brawl.
By the end when no was remaining standing and from her view Powder could only see Naruto and Vi.
Beat up and exhausted their lungs burned from the challenge.
'Fighting adults sucks I swear.' Naruto thought as Vi held him while they caught their collective breaths.
Then Vi froze in fight as Deckkard the wannabe they got into it with the other day grown and bulge with pink eyes and purple burgling veins.
"Oh, that's what you meant by monster." Naruto muttered as he looked on at the abomination before him.
"Yeah… Look after everyone for me ok." Vi said.
"Wait what?" Vi threw Naruto back towards the door before she sprinted.
Vi ran at full belt before hopping onto the railing and leaping to drop a hammer fist onto the mutated Dekkard.
But in a blink of an eye his with his longer reach he snatch the girl out of the air and choked her.
Naruto's eye widened as he got back to his feet with his adrenaline pumping once more and dove back in leaping onto the railing like Vi but as he saw Deckard's arm he shifted his momentum and lashed with kick to the mutates face.
He stumbled back in pain but still just launched Vi into Naruto bowling him over and back across the bridge.
'Oh no!' Powder thought in worry as she saw Vi land on the side, but Naruto was dangling of the bridge almost like a light breeze could make him fall into the vat of shipment below.
The girl tinkerer began double checking her creation.
'Three crystals check,' she thought as she began to wind up the monkey bomb.
By the time Powder looked back up Vi was crawling into a room the monster pursued only to punch a metal door blocking it.
Placing her bomb inside the window Powder let loose the walking explosive.
"Please work, please work." She muttered to herself as she noticed Naruto starting to stir but also so did Dekkard began to turn around and walk toward the boy.
"What is that ringing noise." Naruto said in a daze until he found himself being lifted off the ground via his neck as Dekkard began to choke him.
But then he paused both Naruto and Dekkard turned to see a little toy monkey with a blue gem as a necklace
'Powder?' Naruto thought before the monkey clapped one last time before it erupted a burst of energy that ripped through the room.
As Naruto was flung from Dekkard's mutated grasp the blonde crossed his arms in an attempt to shield himself. But in an instant a bubble formed around the blonde
Purple static danced along the blondes exposed skin. 'The hell?' he thought in confusion when in actuality it was arcane potential awakening in a time of stress and hardship.
He still flung into wall back first and a pillar had pinned and nearly crushed him.
The next Naruto awoke he saw Vander, monstrous and powerful standing over Deckkard.
"Silco!" Vander roared before more flames and smoke filled the air before he dove away sweeping up Vi and leaving through the hole the explosion made for them.
"Yowch!" Jinx shouted as she sat up once more.
"Don't give me that look Jinx had to make sure the that it's on tight."
"Still hurts."
"Motivation to not get stabbed then." He said while sticking out his tongue at the girl.
Jinx just snorted.
"Wanna talk about it?" he asked.
"Nope…"
"Well then how about we go get our little gemstone back then hey?"
"I like the sound of that." Jinx said as she thought for minute. "I think I've got the perfect little something to help us out too."
Naruto nodded as he stood up and stretched.
"You're playing nurse and I get a free show." Jinx giggled to herself.
"Shaddap." Naruto responded with a toothy grin.
Before looking at the blonde. "Thank you for this." She said with a genuine smile.
Vi was currently handcuffed to a rather warm pipe. 'Yeah I don't think so.' She thought before she spotted movement in the shadows.
As the shadow moved a white haired dark skinned young man stood before her. "Ekko?
The man didn't respond as he just sneered at the girl, "What do you know about this?" he asked showing the blue gemstone.
"No idea, first time even hearing about it." Vi answered "Now can you tell me what the hell this all is about?"
He ignored her question.
"What were you doing with Jinx and Ninez?."
"Her name is Powder and I had just found her which your goons interrupted by the way and then theirs Naruto. Look its me Vi the same person who used to take you down to the junk heap and sprayed you down when you got covered in grease." Vi ranted before paused to catch a breath.
"That was a long time ago people change."
"Yeah I'm starting to get that."
"Are you working for Silco?" Ekko asked frustration lacing his voice.
"Fuck you." Vi snapped, "How could you even ask that."
"I thought you were dead. Now you show up with a piltie and just happen to give her a tour of the Lanes."
"You were following us?"
Ekko snorted… "Every Chem-baron had someone tailing you, we were just tailing them."
"Why didn't you say something?"
"I didn't know if I could trust you."
"So, you just come out swinging?"
"I wonder where I learnt that from and with both Ninez and Jinx there yes."
"Ha well you should've learnt more you still punch like a little girl." Vi insulted.
"Yeah well you still block with your face." He snapped back getting in Vi's face.
"I remember when you wouldn't stand up to me." Vi muttered before finishing undoing her cuffs and pulling the now older boy into her arms for a hug. "Missed you Little Man."
Ekko chuckled with tears welling up. "How long have you had those off."
"How long you been bitching?" Vi quipped back before pulling away.
"Caitlyn is that you?" a voice whispered, but it was too late. The trained enforcer lashed out with a swift knee to the groin, and as the man crumpled to the ground, his hood fell away, revealing a familiar face.
Caitlyn blinked, her eyes adjusting to the flickering candlelight. "Ezreal? What are you doing here?"
"I was trying to rescue you," the blonde wheezed, struggling to catch his breath.
"So, you're not with these guys?" Caitlyn asked, her brow furrowing in concern.
"Caitlyn, you've known me for how long?" he replied, a hint of exasperation in his voice.
"Right… good point," Caitlyn admitted sheepishly. "Sorry, I've suffered quite a bit of head trauma recently." She attempted to lighten the mood with a joke, recalling everything she had endured since the heist Jinx and Ninez pulled off. "Well, sorry about the knee; how about getting me loose? I've got a friend to save."
"Ehhem…" A voice hummed from behind them.
The two turned to see a young man with white hair glaring down at them, accompanied by Vi leaning casually against the door frame.
"Awww, you want to save poor defenceless me… My hero," she said with a teasing smirk flitting across her face.
"What? But I thought you were being tortured!" Ezreal exclaimed in disbelief.
"Oh yes, tortured with all this fresh air," Vi replied sarcastically. "Who's the extra?"
"Yeah, and how did he get in?" Ekko chimed in, crossing his arms sceptically.
"Well, I'm—" Ezreal started.
"He's Ezreal; he's a friend," Caitlyn interjected quickly.
Ekko and Vi exchanged arched brows before shrugging, if the piltie was going to lie, none of their business.
Ezreal scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"I followed you guys when you snatched Caitlyn at the end of that wild fight," he explained, his tone lightening.
"Which means you know the way to our home." Ekko accused while Vi placed a calming hand on her shoulder.
Ekko took a breath before sighing. "You get two tickets topside and that's it." He said before turning and leaving the three alone.
Ekko walked ahead with Vi, Caitlyn, and Ezreal as they crossed halfway over the bridge. They had agreed for Ekko to be the one to return the Hextech to the council as a show of good will. As they made it over the final bridge into Piltover all of a sudden, Vi stopped in her tracks, her body stiffening.
"I'm sorry, but I can't go any further," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. 'This is the bridge they died on.' She internally sobbed as she thought her biological parents.
Ekko turned back, his expression softening. He understood—he had heard the story before, from Powder during the last revolution. "It's okay," Ekko said gently, nodding in understanding.
Ezreal glanced at Vi, then at Ekko, before silently turning to follow the boy across the bridge. Caitlyn hesitated, her gaze lingering on Vi. Then, without a word, she ran back to the pink-haired girl and wrapped her in a deep, comforting hug.
High above them, Jinx's grip on the spyglass tightened as she growled softly.
"What's with the hug?" she muttered.
Naruto, standing beside her, casually plucked the spyglass from her hands.
"It's just a goodbye hug," Jinx thought, scowling at her sister's retreating figure.
Naruto didn't look convinced. "I don't know about that," he said to himself, noticing the lingering sadness in Caitlyn's eyes as she embraced Vi.
Handing the spyglass back to Jinx, he let out a small sigh. Static flickered over his body as he prepared himself. "Just say the word, and I'll move," he said calmly, his focus sharpening.
Further along the bridge Caitlyn caught up to the boys only to be blinded by spotlights.
'Sheriff Marcus?' Caitlyn thought as she recognised his voice before he came up to the three of them.
"Enough Kiramman."
"But I hadn't said a word Sheriff."
Marcus ignored her before looking at Ezreal to Caitlyn… and to the undercity dweller. "Oh, just fuck it." He muttered before he drew his sidearm and shot Ekko in the gut before aiming his weapon on his subordinate and the civilian.
From their hiding spot Jinx tapped the blonde on the shoulder as he smirked.
"Sheriff?" Ezreal called out in surprise as he went to move toward the downed teen only to be stopped by Marcus who aimed his weapons on them.
"How much is Silco paying you?" Caitlyn snapped.
"On this auspicious day… an Enforcer was shot done in gun fight between criminal and in the scuffle Piltover lost a son and a daughter, both with such promise." Marcus mocked before skies came to life with green little insects swarming the bridge.
'They look like firelights?' Ezreal thought before his eye caught a glint of gold.
"They're beautiful." Caitlyn said as her eyes trailed one as it landed on the barrel of the corrupt sheriff's gun. 'Wait its metallic.' She thought before she saw the terror on Marcus's face before the world exploded in light.
Back in his spot Naruto opened his eyes and looked around only to see Jinx gone but she left the spyglass with him, so he peered through it and spotted the back of Vi's head running towards the blood bath Jinx and he caused.
"Gah fuck." He muttered to himself. 'Two guesses where Jinx has gone.' He thought before hopping to his feet and began making his way to end of the bridge.
Naruto was currently falling toward the concrete bridge below just observing the kill box Jinx's firelight bombs and the Enforcers were practically wiped out both dead of unconscious the blonde could not tell.
'Finally caught up,' he thought as he eyed Jinx picking up a satchel before he spotted some blonde guy try and sneak up behind Jinx. "I don't think so!" Naruto shouted as he launched his sword like a javelin.
The blade pierced the ground next to Jinx who was staring at Vi helping Caitlyn stand to notice.
The blonde halted his advance as Naruto appeared balancing on the embedded blade before he leapt from it smashing a knee into the blonde's chest followed by kick to the side of his neck launching him toward Vi's feet.
"Ezreal!" Caitlyn called out too her childhood friend/arranged fiancé.
"I'm alive." Ezreal answered with a groan as he slowly stood up. 'He's strong, that felt like it almost snapped my neck…' Ezreal thought to himself in worry as he rubbed his neck as he found it difficult to maintain balance for a brief moment.
Jinx just snarled as she began to rev and fire toward her sister who shoved Caitlyn to the side just in time before scrambling to drag Ezreal out of her sister's murderous rage.
But just as Jinx finished firing Ekko sprung from the light hoverboard and pipe in hand flying straight towards Jinx knocking her mini gun from her grasp.
Naruto went to move in, but he turned to put up a hand he deflected a bullet into the night.
As the whiskered blonde turned to see Caitlyn with her rifle trained on him she fired once more, and he deflected it again before drawing his own firearm.
Just as he went to fire the blonde he knocked halfway across the bridge sprinting out of the smoky chaos and tackling Naruto causing him to miss his shot.
Ekko flew back in for a second round sacrificing his board for snatching the satchel back. As the young man came skidding to a stop he lobbed the satchel back toward Caitlyn and Vi
The message was clear.
Vi looked back one last time at her sister before retreating over the bridge into Piltover.
Ekko turned back to face Jinx.
"Ohhh." Jinx half laughed. "Look who it is… The Boy Saviour." She mocked. "What's the matter Little Man, jealous of a gun?"
Ekko rolled his eyes and smirked before an old stopwatch swung his grasp, swinging like a metronome.
Play Dynasties & Dystopia by Denzel Curry
Jinx chuckled to herself as she recognised what he was doing.
'You wanna play Ekko that's fine with me,' she thought while reloading Pow-pow "Heh." Her manic smirk widened as she took her stance side on just like when they were kids.
From Ekko's point of view, he didn't see Jinx, but a little girl named Powder with a paintball gun and a pot for a helmet giggling away.
A younger more innocent Ekko clicked the stopwatch and made a mad dash towards Powder already taking aim.
She fired and Ekko ducked under the pink pellet.
He got closer before she fired twice more but he kicked off a box to leap over the pellets.
But just as he landed he felt the fourth shot strike him in the chest splattering paint on the target.
Powder jumped up in celebration as their friends cheered.
Powder turned to the crowd and bowed before everyone while waving to fingers above her head towards Naruto who did it back while cheering the loudest next to Vi.
Back in real time Ekko clicked the stopwatch and moved mimicking what he did as a child only this time he was weaving through live ammunition.
Twisting and jiving it took all he had to stay ahead of Jinx who was a much better shot than when she was a kid.
Just as the boy got close he leapt into the swinging the pipe smacking it straight into Jinx as he fought the girl to the ground.
She slugged him in the face, but he smirked through it.
"You're no Violet, Jinx." He sneered at his once crush.
What pair didn't see was the Sheriff leaning against the side of the bridge he couldn't feel his legs but that didn't matter. 'I'm gonna make Silco pay!' he thought as he watched the two-trencher trash brawl it. 'From this distance I could clip her in the side.' He thought as he drew his pistol.
His mind drifted to early today when Silco invaded the sanctity of his daughters' home.
"Shouldn't have involved my daughter." He snarled as he pulled the trigger.
At the same time as Jinx vs Ekko Naruto kicked the blonde piltie off from him and kipped back up to his feet.
Ezreal rolled to his feet before unhooking a collapsible recurve bow and drew an arrow from his quiver.
Naruto paused for a moment. 'Did he bring a bow to a gun fight?' Naruto thought as he glanced at the fallen rifles around them. "Your funeral kid." Naruto said before he dashed towards the shorter blonde.
Naruto stuck out his hand as he ducked the first arrow.
Bloody Mary twitched before ripping herself free from the ground flying like a buzzsaw towards the blonde's hands.
'Shit.' Ezreal cursed as he already lined up his second shot and fired.
Naruto swung his blade smashing the arrow away before leaping high into the air.
Ezreal launched two more arrows, but he deflected them with ease.
"Too slow!" Naruto roared as he swung his sword down.
Ezreal reacted with using the ornate bow itself to fend of the blade.
Contact was made and instead of slicing through the bow green runes lit up along its surface before pulsating sending its wielder skidding back and the blonde flying back.
'A gift from my parents.' Ezreal thought with a smirk 'Legend said this bow could repel any attack.' Ezreal remembered his father explain.
Naruto caught himself from falling off the bridge as his tail wrapped around the railing keeping him anchored.
As his feet touched the ground his head felt like it was a spinning top.
'What is that.' The whiskered blonde thought as he squinted only for his spinning vision to focus Silco's pet sheriff. 'He's clearly injured who is he aiming at?' Naruto thought as he followed the line of sight and saw Jinx get taken down by. 'Ekko?'
He tried to draw on his magnetism, but no static came, no feeling. 'Shit!' he thought.
He moved on instinct.
Jinx was pinned Ekko had already punched her once and was rearing back for a second shot, but then a gunshot rang out across the bridge.
Ekko and Jinx both froze the boy checking himself for wounds only to find non.
With wide eyes they both looked behind Ekko to see Naruto facing them both with a smirk across his bloody lips. "Ahh shit… sorry Jinx." Naruto said as his shirt began to stain with blood before he fell forward.
Jinx's eyes widened as she found some core strength and forced the Boy Saviour off from her and began to run towards the blonde "NARUTO!" Jinx shouted as she got near before Ekko pinned her on the ground again. "Get off me Ekko! Naruto!" Jinx screamed.
"He's gone Jinx so stop struggling." Ekko said while trying to keep the scrambling girl down before his eyes widened as a grenade rolled from the girl's hand.
'No pin,' Ekko's final thought before the bridge shook due to the explosive going off.
Soon after the explosion Silco and two of his men arrived at the scene of the carnage.
Enforcers laid out across the bridge, but Silco did not care his only concern were for his own, consequences be damned.
"Jinx!" Silco called as kept looking before he found Naruto crawling slowly out a pool of his own blood towards Jinx. Silco's blood boiled at the sight of his children beaten and battered.
Walking over to the unmoving Jinx, he lowered his face to her mouth and felt shallow breaths grace his cheek. Quickly sweeping the girl into his arms before looking to Naruto who eyes never left Jinx's form before passing out himself.
"You grab Naruto now. We need to hurry." Silco ordered the larger goon currently in his employ as he shifted Jinx in his arms.
