010: Corrupting Influence
It was Jinx's 13th birthday, and Silco spared no expense, hosting prominent figures from the Undercity at a Topside five-ring restaurant.
All weapons were left at the cloakroom... Well, most.
At the main table sat Silco with Jinx and Naruto on either side of him. Sevika sat next to Naruto, while Gustove, seated beside Jinx, glared at the blonde across from him.
The Chem-Barons headed their own tables, surrounded by their respective entourages. Various lieutenants from their organizations mingled in the crowd.
Naruto, who had just turned 15, had a similar celebration, though his party was strictly held in Zaun. The blonde helped himself to some of Piltover's finest as he poured a glass of wine, catching Gustove's stare.
Naruto arched a brow. "Wassup, big guy?" he asked nonchalantly.
"You lit—" Gustove began but stopped when Silco glanced at him mid-bite of his steak. The man cowed under the weight of that look.
Jinx turned her gaze to Naruto, who met her eyes and winked, causing the birthday girl to giggle.
"Jinx, Naruto, how are you finding the food?" Silco asked the youngest at the table.
"Fancy as hell, but it ain't got shit on Jericho's though," Naruto answered, taking a huge bite of his steak.
Sevika snorted. "Take your time, brat. You're gonna choke."
Naruto pointed to the other tables where everyone was practically wolfing down the entire menu. He noticed the looks of disgust and scorn from the Topsider staff and frowned.
"Hmm?" the blonde thought, narrowing his eyes.
"Jinx, tell me, what do you know of the Chem-Barons?" Silco asked.
Jinx, who had just finished sipping her water, shrugged.
"Naruto, would you like to aid the girl?" Silco prompted, taking another bite.
The blonde rolled his eyes, spotting the test a mile away. "Sure. You've got Finn of the Golden Jaws. He handles Shimmer production and most of the gambling dens in the South of the Lanes," Naruto began, nodding toward the man with the golden jaw raising a toast to his men.
Jinx nodded, following his explanation.
"Then there's Chross in the North. Same deal, but with fight pits on top of Shimmer," the blonde continued, glancing at the only non-human baron, who was seated among his crew with folded arms.
Jinx noticed the metallic glint from his automail leg. "That's Smeech. He controls automail distribution along with Shimmer."
Silco allowed a small smirk to cross his face as he ate in silence.
"Renni deals strictly in Shimmer, and Margott runs the sex trade in Piltover and Zaun," Naruto finished, looking back at Jinx.
Silco coughed to grab the kids' attention. ""Good. Memorize their faces and names," Silco instructed. "These people cannot be trusted; they must be managed." He said, as his tone lowered slightly..
Before more words could be exchanged, the restaurant doors swung open, and three enforcers stomped in.
Silco arched a brow as the room fell silent.
"Greetings, officer. How may I help you?"
"We received a call about a violent gathering."
"As you can see, we're here to celebrate my daughter's birthday," Silco explained, sitting comfortably in his chair.
One enforcer circled the table, stopping behind Jinx's chair. Her eyes widened, and her breathing quickened ever so slightly, but Naruto noticed.
The room felt the growl emanate from the blonde.
The enforcer behind Jinx froze, glancing at the whiskered blonde's face.
"Now then, officer, as you can see, we are simply finishing our meal."
"Hmph. Well, be quick about it and don't linger, trencher trash," the lead enforcer sneered.
"I think we shall stay for dessert," Silco responded, watching the enforcer's face redden.
"Boss?" Sevika asked, but Silco shook his head.
"No need. These fine gentlemen were just leaving."
Another enforcer placed a hand on the leader's shoulder. "Another time, boss," he whispered.
The lead enforcer nodded slowly before the three exited the restaurant. Silence reigned until Naruto's wild laughter broke it, followed by Jinx's giggles. Soon, the restaurant was uproarious once more.
After the mains were cleared, desserts were brought out, and Silco stood, silencing the room.
"We've lived in auspicious times, expanding Silco Industries throughout the Undercity. Even with the Hex-Gates, trade is bringing in capital and work," Silco began. "So, what I am trying to say is—"
Silco's eyes widened as an enforcer pipe bomb was lobbed through the window. Glass shards rained down as the explosive bounced into the middle of the room.
The force of the explosion shook the restaurant, sending everyone flying from their seats.
Naruto blinked his eyes open with a groan, his ears ringing. He looked around the burning room, seeing several bodies. Some were dead; others were unconscious. He spotted a tall man in black with a rifle aimed at Jinx, who was backed against the wall.
Adrenaline burned through Naruto's veins.
"Naruto! Save Jinx!" Silco shouted over the flames.
Naruto was already moving. He ripped the rifle from the gunman's grasp and swung it like a bat, striking the man's head and sending him to the floor. Naruto climbed on top of him, landing punch after punch.
Sevika, injured but conscious, looked up and saw Silco's smirk growing with each strike Naruto delivered.
"You can stop now, Naruto," Jinx whispered, but he didn't hear her and continued wailing on the attacker.
Jinx leapt onto his back. "It's okay. I'm okay," she whispered, hugging him tightly. The boy froze mid-punch.
Blood dripped from his fist as he stared down at the broken man beneath him. He gasped and fell backward.
"I'm a monster," the blonde whispered, staring at his blood-soaked fist and the motionless man.
Silco stepped over the bodies to crouch by Naruto and Jinx. "Good job," he whispered, embracing them both. "You protected your family."
The Chem-Barons watched with morbid curiosity as Naruto silently nodded.
"There's a monster in all of us, boy," Silco explained. "Yours just came out to save someone precious to you."
"Jinx is precious…" Naruto said as he looked away from Silco to the shivering girl in his arms.
"Jinx is perfect." Silco said in turn.
Naruto and…'
'Naruto and Jinx!' Silco snapped awake from his dream down memory lane his vision came into to focus and saw two blood covered tables a scalpel and the back of the good doctor.
Rushing to his feet Silco clawed for the scalpel before slamming Singed up the counter with the blade at his throat. "Where are they?"
"I saved their lives." Singed grunted out.
"If they are not in one piece I will burn your works to the ground. Do you hear me." Silco threatened before he stumbled out back towards the Last Drop.
His mind cleared on the walk but as he reached the Last Drop Sevika rushed towards him.
"Renni's main factory got hit boss."
"Of all the…" he paused. "By who?"
"Enforcers, two were apparently armed with new weapons that took out the chem tanks stationed there."
'It's the sister.' Silco thought as he turned to leave with his crew to go see the damage.
The smell of bleach filled Marcus's senses as he first came to. As he sat up and looked around he saw no flowers or loved ones just the back of two Enforcer helmets outside his room.
'Oh… I lived.' The man thought as he remembered his current predicament. "I should've died… A traitor like me." He whispered to himself as his mind drift to his old Sheriff who he sold out, then too his daughter as he let out a choked sob.
The room creaked.
"Wow even for scumbags, being sheriff gets you a room this big and all by yourself too." A voice spoke up to Marcus's right.
The enforcer turned to see a blonde man, with whisker like marks with glowing slit pink eyes.
'It can't be?' "I shot you… Y-you died." Marcus accused.
Naruto just snorted as maintained his balance on the window ledge. "I got better." The blonde shrugged before stepping into the room. "And don't worry I got a feeling the traitor will meet death real soon."
As his first foot touched the ground a static bubble appeared around the pair.
Marcus with widened eyes felt truly scared.
'He tried to shoot her, to take away our Jinx.' A voice whispered in the back of Naruto mind. 'End him, send him to the Kindred.'
The blonde's tail twitched erratically as Naruto became more agitated. "Shut it." Naruto snapped at the voice before reaching into his pocket producing two three nails that began to hover in his palm.
The Enforcer watched at the display of magic and shook to his core. 'Mage?!'
"I didn't say anything." Marcus responded shakily.
"Wasn't talking to you. Dipshit," Naruto snapped back as he focused on the task as he walked up toward the Enforcer. "You know I remember way back before you ever since you started doing Pop's dirty work…I mean your hands were still dirty I mean I even remember some rookie cop who looked a lot one who liked beating the shit out of me my brother."
Claggor's dead body flashed through the blonde's mind making him wince.
One nail shot from his palm through his handcuffs shattering the Enforcers bondage.
"And then not only that I hear that my sister who is supposed to be dead, turns out and I know you know this one Marky boy…. My sister Vi, the pinkette with the temper problem yeah turns out she taken and thrown in Stillwater."
The blonde was furious, but his tone remained level. Another nail flew by scratching the Enforcer's cheek.
The only thing that prevented Marcus for calling out to the guards because even as he winced in pain he saw it in the blondes face a madness that would tear this whole building down on a moment's notice.
The third nail was launch toward the door, jamming deep into a small gap preventing the door from being fully opened without its removal.
"I should kill you now for trying harm her." Naruto growled lowly, "But I really think we should get a family consensus… Don't you?" the blonde teased as grin from on his face revealing fangs he drew his revolver and pistol whipped him around the side of Marcus's head knocking him unconscious. 'I wonder if Jinx has gotten the enforcer girl yet?' the blonde thought as he shivered in fear. 'I would hate to be on her shit list like that.' Naruto thought.
The factory was in ruins warped metal shattered glass scattered around the place. Sobbing filled the room when heavy footsteps didn't.
All of the bodies were removed bar one.
"Been a minute since Topside has gotten this bold." Sevika said as she looked around the wrecked shop.
"Say what you want about the late Sheriff he had his uses."
"He's dead?"
"He better be, save me the hassle honestly." Silco muttered.
"To bad Jinx didn't think so."
"We can always buy another."
"Are you going to do anything about that piece of shit that murder my boy." A grieving voice shouted up at Silco.
The man rolled his eyes before turning to face the baron.
"Lemme guess Jinx will take care of it?" Renni sobbed. "or where's Ninez and why didn't he stop this," she yelled.
Silco glanced at Finn before looking toward Sevika before falling onto Renni. "We all mourn the loss of your son. Renni at least we take solus that he died for our cause." Silco began as he stepped toward her. "Instead of some petty or personal dispute that so often occurs here."
Finn began playing with his zippo in the background igniting the flint with every flick.
"You're one to talk about sacrificing for the cause."
"What do I sacrifice…" Silco let a small chuckle escape his lips. "Calm. Kindness. Kindship. Love." He began, "I given up all chances of inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space." Silco said before crouching to Renni's level. "I share my dreams with ghosts." He said as his mind drifted to Felicia and Vander.
"I wake up in a cold sweat every night to an equation I wrote 15 years ago. For which there is only one conclusion, that I damned for what I do." Silco continued, "My rage, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight. All this has set me on a path for which there is no escape."
His voice got progressively louder as he continued.
"What do I sacrifice?" he lectured, "I burn my decency for someone else's future for I know truly I shall not live to see my dream come true." Silco huffed before standing up straight and turning to Sevika.
"Help her with the body." He said before walking off leaving the two Chem -Barons and Sevika standing over Renni's son.
Ambessa sat in her foreign ambassador suite in one of the highest ivory towers receiving a massage from the local cuisine she picked up earlier.
"Ask your questions boy, your head looks like it's about to implode." The Noxian general spoke with a kind authority.
The young man flushed slightly. "What's Noxus like?"
The dark-skinned woman smirked as she pondered the question. "Noxus… Is where the strong gather." She said before she glanced at the delicate young man. "Now then boy, tell me about your world?"
"Grew up in Undercity, was orphaned in the Uprising."
"Hmm interesting and who runs Undercity now?"
"Now it's divided into your four major hitters… the Chem Barons and they all follow Silco."
"Silco?" Ambessa repeated.
"Yeah they call him the Eye of Zaun, my brother is a bartender at his bar." The escort answered as he massaged the woman's shoulders. "He's the brains but his muscle are the main problems."
"Hmm? How so?" The warlord hummed.
"Jinx and Ninez." The boy paused as if saying their names would invoke their wrath. "Those two are the brawn to Silco's brains, but they're unhinged."
"Very Interesting and tell me about these Chem Barons who follow this man." Ambessa asked as a stratagem began to form in her war obsessed mind.
As Silco sat in his office he found an intriguing letter with the seal of newest councillor 'A call for parlay? The boy is over playing his hand…' the crime boss assessed the contents before his door opened.
"I'm busy." Silco instructed as held a drink in hand.
Footsteps continued unabated forcing the Kingpin of Zaun to look up.
'Sevika, Renni and Finn… The fuck is it now.' He thought but he knew what this was.
'A play for the throne.'
Sevika pulled out a chair and dusted off for the golden jaw wearing baron to sit before Silco's desk.
"And what do I owe the pleasure," Silco sighed before putting the letter in his hand down and watched as Sevika stalked around to stand behind where he sat.
Finn kept obnoxiously flicking his lighter open and closed before he began.
"When you took Vander out of play, I was like here's what man who knows what it takes to run an enterprise." The baron said with a little bit of respect in his tone. "The attitude, the instinct… the eye, I thought you were the whole package." The respect seemingly ran out. "You always were two steps ahead, but times lapped you old man."
Silco nursed his drink before he glanced at Renni. "You with him are you?"
"You screwed up Silco and my son paid the price."
Silco finished his drink and placed on the table before looking at Finn. "You're too young to remember what the Undercity was before it became an enterprise." He began, "We had nothing… Do you know what bore us through those times?"
"I'm sure you'll enlighten me." Finn joked as his lit his zippo alight.
"Loyalty… Something I instilled in my legacy." Silco said as his mind drifted to Jinx and Naruto before returning to the current situation. "Brothers and sisters back-to-back against whatever the world threw at us and now. Now I'm forced to share the air with parasites and roaches like you… Who leech off their own name sakes and legacies," Silco insulted.
"Today's the day you die Silco."
"Did you not listen earlier… That's a risk I take all my life." The crime boss responded as he slowly lowered his head. "But I still believe in loyalty."
As he finished his sentence a blade emerged from Sevika's metallic limb and she swung, slicing through Silco's chair.
The glass he drunk from was sliced along with Finns Jaw and throat.
Blood splattered as Renni tried to smear some of her fellow barons blood off of her face. As Finn fell face first onto the desk choking on his own blood Sevika stood to attention.
"That was for my little brother jackass." Sevika spat as she heard some baron put a hit out on her brother after he won in fight pits.
"I would have had your son killed for this, though I suppose we're ahead on that account." Silco sneered, "Get out," he ordered.
Renni fled faster than a scalded dog.
Sevika moved around the desk and kicked Finn to the floor and took his seat. Silco reached for a cigar.
"Were you tempted."
"Not for a worm like him… and he talks too much." Sevika said as she retrieved Finn's lighter and lit a flame to spark Silco's cigar before he pulled away. "You know he won't be the last."
'Silco just nodded before he looked back at the letter he had been reading before this whole mess began.
Naruto leapt from a rooftop in the Undercity and came to a rolling stop in the front courtyard outside The Last Drop. As he stood up, he was greeted by the imposing figures of six Chem-Tanks. 'Pop's must be on high alert or something. I only came to see Pop's anyway,' he thought, striding confidently toward the bar.
However, the Chem-Tanks formed a blockade in his path. Naruto paused, his pink eyes narrowing as he assessed the situation. "If Silco ain't in, I'll just speak to Sevika," he said, glancing up at the closest tank.
"No one goes in," the nearest tank barked, shoving Naruto back a couple of paces. He stumbled but quickly regained his footing, irritation bubbling beneath his calm exterior. "I don't have time to deal with you bozos," he replied coolly, drawing his sword as static began to crackle along his fingertips.
Silco found himself wandering aimlessly after he returned to Fissures until he stood beside Vander's statue.
"She'll come to you when she's ready," Sevika's words echoed in his mind.
Silco snorted bitterly. "When she's ready. Ha," he barked a laugh before sitting at the base of the statue, mirroring the way his son had done a couple of nights ago. "Can you believe it, Vander? The nation of Zaun, everything we ever dreamed of, handed to me on a silver platter."
He paused, pulling out a flask. "And you wouldn't believe it—the golden boy didn't even haggle. That straightforwardness... remind you of anyone?" A flicker of a memory crossed his mind—Felicia's gentle smile, followed by the whiskered grin his son so often wore.
'I need Jinx and Ninez… they have to pay for what they've done.'
'They worked for me under my orders.'
'Believe me if I had my way it would be you rotting in Stillwater, we both have our shitty parts to play… Get me Ninez and Jinx, I'll see to it that you have your nation of Zaun.'
"And what do I lose at the end of the day, huh? Problems?" Silco chuckled dryly, shaking his head. "If I tried splitting them apart, the one left standing would probably kill me." He laughed coldly, his words tinged with something between pride and resignation. "They are capable and strong but do pros outweigh the cons…" Silco chuckled coldly as he thought about both Jinx and Naruto.
After a few short seconds of pondering.
"They're my kids now, Vander," Silco muttered, his voice hardening as he took a swig from his flask. "Jinx and Naruto. Not yours."
Suddenly, Naruto burst out of his office, a vivid blush colouring his face. "Pops, we are never having this conversation."
"Naruto, come back! I promise I won't laugh—well, maybe a little."
But Naruto kept walking, his embarrassment too much to bear. Silco sighed theatrically. "Oh, fine. I might know a spot."
Naruto froze mid-step. "Really?" he asked, turning back.
Silco rummaged through his desk, pulling out an old, dusty scroll. He tossed it to Naruto. "Down by the converted mines. Take Jinx there when you get the chance." 'I wonder if Felicia is watching, laughing at this whole situation.' He thought of the one friend he missed more than Vander.
"Thanks, P—wait. I never said her name." Naruto squinted suspiciously, avoiding Silco's piercing gaze.
"You didn't have to," Silco replied, smirking. "You're still too young to get one over on me. Now scram and go bother Sevika or someone."
Naruto huffed but smiled faintly, tucking the scroll away as he walked off.
Silco sighed, turning his attention back to the statue. He poured a bit of his drink onto the ground, a quiet offering to his once-brother. "Now I get it, Vander. Why you were the way you were in the end… Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?"
What Silco didn't know was that his daughter had chosen this very moment to be ready—to listen.
"Me or his ambition," were the only words Jinx heard, ringing in her ears like a curse. The voices in her head screamed betrayal as her glare darkened. To her anyone could betray her if her sister could.
"Jinx is no one's pawn," she hissed.
And in the moments that followed, Silco knew only darkness.
Vi arrived outside her old home. The Last Drop and the front yard were littered with Chem- tanks crushed shot and sliced.
'Someone beat me to it?' The girl thought almost gagged but held strong before marching inside stepping over the groaning and dead.
As she entered the dark bar her eyes were drawn to the bar as she saw broad shoulders sitting on a stool as he extended an arm and tapped the spot next to him on the counter.
'Naruto?' she thought as she spotted his tail swaying slowly.
The pinkette looked around for any kind of trap as she approached the bar.
"Really don't trust me Vi?" the blonde asked as he tilted his head towards her as she sat next to him.
"You work for Silco… anything is possible."
The blonde rolled his eyes as he grabbed the bottle next to him and pour into two small glasses.
Vi's eyes widened. "Is that?"
"Vander's favourite… You do remember." Naruto said as he moved a glass toward her. He glanced down at her latest accessories. "You gonna drink in those."
Vi hesitated. "Any funny business and I'll knock your block off."
"Oh, don't worry we're going to settle whose blocks getting knocked off but first." Naruto said before downing the drink in one. Before sticking out his tongue with a grimace. "Gahh it's like motor oil… Vander I swear you have the worst taste." Naruto moaned.
Vi smirked before taking one hand out of the gauntlet and took hold of the drink.
"A lil' birdy told me a story today you know…"
As Vi hummed as she brought the drink to her lips, spotting Naruto's sword and gun hung up above the bar.
"That Enforcers with some hammer wielding psycho and a pink haired girl with giant fists stormed and raided a spot on the Westside." Naruto paused as he looked down at her gauntlets.
Vi downed the drink and with her adrenaline spiking she want the advantage, so she swung heavy with her left first forcing the blonde to step back and away. As he created some distance the pinkette dropped her right shoulder dropping it back into the gauntlet chamber.
Naruto hopped back a couple paces as he tried to take off Vi's gauntlets, but blue static flickered from its power source batting the blondes electromagnetism. 'Interesting?' Naruto thought as he weaved through another combination of punches before grabbing a bar stool with his power and launched it at the pinkette who ducked underneath the bar stool and smashed an uppercut into Naruto's chin smashing him upwards.
The blonde's head snapped up with forces as he came skidding to a stop. 'My magnetism still works but just not on Hextech based weaponry.' Naruto thought as he spat out some blood from his bust lip. "Ok maybe you can still keep up." Naruto taunted as purple static flickered off his hands.
The bar waned and groaned as metal all shapes and sizes flew in from the outside and swirled around Vi before they began clamping around the blonde forearms until scrap metal clawed gauntlets that matched the size of Vi's.
Once complete the blonde punched one fist into an open palm, causing a burst of static to ripple through the air.
"You, done with the show?" Vi said as she took her boxing stance.
"Oh yeah," Naruto shouted as he glanced over to the juke box and turned it on before he turned back to Vi, his eyes almost pulsating neon pink. "Turn me up!"
Play Miyavu & PVRIS – Snakes
The blonde dove in just as Vi moved to counter.
Sparks flashed in the darkness as metallic fist clashed metallic fist.
Naruto ducked under and stepped inside of a jab before he let loose two gut shots to the Pinkette..
'Gauh!' Vi gasped as the first blow winded her and the second knocked her back a step. "You're gonna need more than that." She said before she hopped forward.
Naruto saw the leaping girl wind back her right arm. "I don't think so!" the blonde reared his dominate arm back and leaped to meet the girl.
His left fist just past her right hand in shimmer of sparks.
Twin shockwaves were let off as each weapon slammed into the other cheeks. The force flung the pair towards opposite ends of the bar.
Naruto slammed into a pool table in the corner. Vi landed on the side sofas.
Both groaned before getting up.
"Where is Powder?"
"Powder? If you win I'll tell you where Jinx is." The blonde teased as he dashed back toward the girl.
She rose to meet him.
'She's trying to take Jinx away from you… Don't let her take me away from you.' A voice whispered to the blonde. Naruto glanced to the bar top, and he saw Jinx sitting on the staring manically at him.
Vi took advantage of the blondes distracted mind and returned the favour hit the blonde with two more body shots before smashing a left hook into his body sending Naruto careening into the empty bar.
The blonde kipped back up his feet. "You won't get the chance to hurt her again." He snarled before he vanished.
"Fast." Vi gasped as the blonde reappeared behind her blocking the spearing gauntlet.
Sparks flashed once more before the blonde swung in with his left punching Vi's arm out of the way before he grabbed her other arm and flipped and then flung the girl toward the bar landing through just like he did.
'Hmph Your guard need work.' Vi remembered the lesson she groaned in the rubble of the ruined bar top. She felt an ache in her jaw before spitting out a tooth. She got up slower than the blonde but she did grab an empty glass and a bottle she poured herself a drink of Vander's motor oil, downing it before throwing the bottle towards the blonde.
Naruto caught the bottle with his tail before he took a swig from the bottle with a pained wince.
"No more games Naruto!" Vi ran to the side and grabbed the pool table flipped and launched in his direction.
The blonde just tore through the table sending splinters everywhere before he ate a punch to jaw from Vi but he retaliated with a shot to the side her ribs.
The siblings stared each other down.
'You won't stop me from saving Powder!'
'Jinx doesn't need saving!'
Two ideals clashed against one another.
Naruto and Vi both roared at one another and leapt at each other more.
The blonde hook accompanied with. "You left us!"
A younger Vi struck Powder before storming off into the night.
"I had no choice!" Vi responded with an equally vicious punch.
'Mylo was right you will always be a Jinx.' Naruto heard Vi shout from underneath the rubble he was buried under.
"Look Naruto, I don't want to hurt you but if you get in between me and Powder I'll put you in the dirt." Vi warned as she shakily held her ground.
'See all she does is lie and hurt me.' Jinx spoke up once more this time her arms were wrapped around the blonde as she whispered into his ear. 'And now she wants to hurt you… and take you away from me.'
"You're so right Jinx." Naruto said as his grin turned wild.
"Jinx?" Vi questioned 'I know what Ekko said but to actually see this.' She thought as purplish static began pour from Naruto form in waves.
"You just want to hurt us… but you think I'll let you hurt us, I'll never let you hurt us again!" Naruto roared as the static suddenly cut off and Naruto was on the offensive.
Vi looked up to see the blonde in the air leaping toward her his one tail become nine, just like when they were kids. He raised both of his gauntlets up before.
Bringing down a hammer fist just as Vi crossed her arms and blue shield erupted around her, but Naruto's force was too much as he ripped through it before the pair threw a cross at each other.
When Vi's fist collided with the blondes fist, the force of the blow, shattered Naruto's scrap gauntlet before sparks of purple reforged it instantly.
'Finally, I'm getting somewhere.'
"Don't get cocky!" Naruto as he flickered around the girl as he launched a haymaker that broke through her guard before landing an uppercut that launched the girl into the air.
"This ends now!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed hold of the girl's ankle and span once, and twice and once more to make sure before he let go launching her into the jukebox smashing it to pieces. "P-Powder." The girl groaned until hers fully closed.
Naruto was breathing heavy more due to the frustration he just let off on his 'sister, childhood friend, threat. Threat sounded right.' The blonde thought to himself as he smirked. "I win."
Footsteps landed softly behind the blonde.
Naruto glanced over his shoulder and saw Jinx standing in the darkness watching him and Vi knock out brawl.
She stepped out walking towards the blonde her hand reaching out stroking his cheek she watched as steam flowed from his healing lip the shimmer working in the blonde's system.
She pulled him into a searing kiss that he gladly reciprocated before she pulled away and looked down indifferently toward her downed sister.
"Bravo sis, got your ass kicked." Jinx muttered as she stared down at her sister before looking towards the blonde. "And you…"
Naruto regained his mental faculties from the kiss he allowed the gauntlets he made just to fell apart as released control of the scrap. "Me…"
"You held back?"
Naruto glanced away before scratching his cheek. "More like beat her at her own game… but she definitely bruised an organ or some shit." He cursed as he looked at the damage slowly healing.
"Let's move we have a dinner to attend."
Naruto nodded as he went scooped an unconscious Vi into his arms. "Let's go." And as they left the blondes back sparked purple static before the sword and revolver that hung above the bar flew toward the blondes back and respective holster on his belt.
