The city of Piltover is now much more progressed than it was six years ago. Thanks to the inventions of Jayce, Viktor, and their hextech. Because of that, the city is more revolutionized and powerful.
Built upon Hextech, Hexgates are ports to the rest of the world. The Hexgates have allowed Piltover to act as a global shipping lane, thereby ensuring the council the City's prosperity.
With everything running smoothly for the topside of Piltover, the sky is nicely lit up by the shade of the blue sky, and warmth of the yellow sun.
Within the city of Piltover, Jayce, council members, and other civilians socialize with smiles on their faces. All in celebration of progress day.
Cassandra Kiramann, the mother of Caitlyn Kiramann introduces Jayce to civilians within the square of Piltover. Recognizing and acknowledging him as a man dedicated to the future, trade, and prosperity of Piltover. A man focused on progress. Cassandra appearance consists of proper clothing. She's slightly older with brown hair, and a few strands of grey. She also has blue eyes, just like her daughter, Caitlyn.
With something else in mind, Jayce suddenly interrupts Cassandra, and walks towards Caitlyn.
Cassandra watches Jayce walk off with a face of embarrassment, all while the other civilians watch him walk off with faces of disappointment. "He's very busy..don't worry." Cassandra insists to the group of civilians, making them feel better.
"Happy progress day!!" "Happy progress day!" Civilians of Piltover yell in happiness and optimism for what's to come for this day. Happy progress day, a day for inventors to show off their latest inventions in hopes of it revolutionizing Piltover.
Jayce proceeds to walk towards Caitlyn, who's staring up ahead with eyes of a hawk. "Watching out for the very menacing civilians of Piltover?" Jayce says in an sarcastic and friendly tone, making Caitlyn turn around and look at him with a raised eyebrow.
Caitlyn is a young slim pale woman with dark blue hair and blue eyes. She's currently wearing her enforcer outfit. "I'm just doing my job..If I could be doing more to help, trust me I would. Unfortunately my mom doesn't think I should." Caitlyn says with her English accent, and a face of disappointment.
Jayce smiles slightly, as he rests a comforting hand on Caitlyns shoulder. "Well, atleast you're gonna have front row seats to my speech." Jayce responds, causing Caitlyn to turn around with confusion.
"What speech?" Questions Caitlyn. "Correct. I'm giving the big address tonight." Jayce responds, while adjusting his attire with a confident expression.
Caitlyn rolls her eyes with a smile. "Wow, okay." She says before returning back to her work of guarding her mothers tent.
Meanwhile, roughly a dozen shipping decks fly towards the shipment area of Piltover. Within the shipping decks are a bunch of barrels. Over a dozen to be exact. They're rusty, and a bunch of them have a pink "X" marked on it. A large portion of men(Silcos men)with tattoos, and devious expressions carry those barrels inside
A man checking the amount of barrels, look at them with eyes of concern. He lets out an anxious cough, before looking at Sevika, Silcos right hand. "Where is the shipping manifest?" The man asks, before Sevika drops a bag of cash onto the man's clipping board.
"You know who that's from, right?" Sevika questions with a menacing smile. The man looks at Sevika for a split second, before tossing the bag of coins a few times to feel the weight of it. Seconds later, he gives a stamp of approval on one of the sheets on his clipping board.
All while that takes place, a group of people on top of hoverboards and wearing masks watch in the distance, without anyone realizing them. One of them have a mask that resembles an owl, along with a pocket watch that ticks tocks. "They're about to ship out the shimmer.
Quickly after, the group of people on the hoverboards swiftly swoop down towards the cargo. "It's the firelights!" One of the men carrying the barrels inside yells out, which alerts the others.
The people on the hoverboards swoop inside of the cargo, while also having to dodge bullets from the gunshots that are being directed towards them. The man with the owl masks kicks one of Silcos men in the face, before throwing a bunch of brownish bombs to the crew.
The bomb immobilizes them, by trapping them just enough in some hardened material that resemble the shape of crystals. "Damn it!" One of Silcos men yell out. Sevika growls in annoyance as she helplessly watches the firelights take out the rest of her crew.
The firelights jump off of their hoverboards, and land onto the cargo. "We have about five minutes." The man with the owl mask talks, though his voice is distorted, as if there is some filter over it. He then clicks a button on his watch, which starts a timer.
Moments after, the firelights members check the barrels with the "X" marked on them. Within the barrels reveals a bunch of shimmer. "That's a lot.." Says one of the firelights in disbelief.
"Get ready to burn it..check the lower level as well." The man with the owl mask orders, before the other members of the firelights go down the ladder of the cargo from a latched door.
Once they're down there, they're forced to use a torch to light up the area. Once they light up the area, they're met with shocked faces, and confusion. What appears to be a monkey painted with green and pink neon splash is over one of the walls. "Let's go..we only have five minutes." One of the firelights say, before they walk away from the area.
While they're walking, suddenly a bomb in the shape of a monkey is thrown down right at their feet. The firelights look down at the monkey that ticks, before looking at one another with shocked faces. "Look out!-" just before they all could dodge, the bomb exploded, causing smoke to emit from that area of the cargo, under the floor latch.
The man with the owl mask, and two other members of the firelights watch as the latch slowly begins to open. Once it opens, smoke begins to come from it. The members of the firelights watch in deep focus, once they see the silhouette of someone inside the smoke.
Sevika proceeds to frown with an angered expression in her eyes. Suddenly, out from the smoke comes Jinx. A slender, sinewy, and light-skinned girl with blue hair, and two shade purple pants.
With a fake innocent expression on her face, and the holding of her own arm, the firelight member with the mask on quickly sees through it. "Attack!" He yells out before both members attack Jinx.
While they fight, the man with the owl mask continues to dump the rest of the shimmer over onto the floor. "Come on now, I know you can do better than that!" Jinx yells as she stomps one of the firelight members on the head with a off putting smile.
The moment the other firelight member comes to attack her, Jinx dodges and knocks her over the head with her gun, which knocks their mask off. Once Jinx does, she quickly grabs the firelight members arm, and freezes with a shocked expression.
Jinx stares at the firelight member with a face of shock, and almost fear. "Vi..?" Jinx questions. In Jinxs head, the pink haired firelight member resembles her sister Vi. Suddenly, distorted memories of her past begin to overtake her mind. All plastered with pink and green neon.
Jinx remembers words from Vi, letting her know that she isn't ready. Because of the voices, and the images that she's seeing, her eyes begin to flutter, changing her expression to a more saddened and distressed one.
"Jinx!!" Sevika yells out to Jinx with an angered and desperate tone. Suddenly the shimmer is set on fire by the firelight member with the owl mask on.
This snaps Jinx out of her own mind. Instantly, she pulls out her gun, and shoots the firelight member in the back. "No!!" The owl masked member yells out, before jumping onto his hover board.
Quickly after, Sevika and the rest of Silcos people begin to break free from the hard material that they were trapped inside of thanks to the firelights.
The owl masked member proceeds to take off from the cargo ship, while Jinx pulls out her minigun, and proceeds to shoot it out as ferocious as possible in the owl masked persons direction. With clenched teeth, and a fierce face, she empties out the entire gun.
Unfortunately for her, the owl masked man had already left. Because of this, Sevika grunts in anger, and approaches Jinx. "You were supposed to be guarding the cargo!!" Sevika yells at Jinx, while Jinxs only response is a deep stare with crazy in her eyes.
Jinx let's out a chuckle, beofre Sevika is interrupted by a noise from the side of them. Jinx continues to stare at Sevika. That is until she's interrupted by the fire that's everywhere around on the cargo.
Jinx is instantly brought back to the day that she got Mylo and the others killed. Voices from Silver encouraging her to take action, then later images showing him turning his back on her. In her visions, and in current reality, she starts to get angered. Her breathing begins to speed up, and her teeth grind against eachothers, as her mind takes her back to her past.
About 30 minutes later, enforcers of Piltover begin to investigate what happened at the cargo that's practically burned down now. The man who Sevika gave money to, tells an enforcer that he saw about 8 of the firelight people, without being able to identify who they are.
All this takes place, while Caitlyn listens in from afar. While checking her surroundings, she slowly walks over to the cargo to investigate what happened. She's met with confusion, as she looks at the scene.
Bullets everywhere, some pink and neon splash on the floor that resemble a monkey, and some hardened material that takes the shape of a crystal. Caitlyn begins to piece together what went down here, as she tries to imitate the altercation.
Moments later, she goes down into the lower level, where she observes the same image of the monkey. "What is this..?" Caitlyn questions to herself.
As she does, she notices a man in the ground, under some steel barrier. A near unconscious man covered in tattoos all around. Caitlyn quickly kneels down to the guy. "What happened here?" She questions the man.
"A woman..she just started shooting.." The man responds with a fearful tone, as he struggles to stay conscious. Caitlyn applies pressure to the wound on his stomach.
"Hey..come on." Caitlyn tries to keep the man awake. "Who do you work for?" Caitlyn questions.
The man's eyes become more fearful once Caitlyn asks that questions. "I can't tell you..he'll make me pay.."The man responds back to Caitlyn, before completely going unconscious.
"I'm sure you were supposed to be patrolling around your mothers tent right?" Marcus, the captain of the enforcers comes from nowhere behind Caitlyn, along with three other enforcers next to him.
Caitlyn quickly turns around in a worried way. "I know, but everything is fine there, and this seems much more important." Caitlyn responds with complete urgency.
"But that's not your duty..follow your orders." Marcus demands. "I want you to patrol around the square tonight as well." Marcus orders.
With skepticism and hesitation, Caitlyn nods her head. "Understood.." Caitlyn says. "You two, get the man up there to still water.." Marcus orders two of the enforcers next to him, before leaving the lower level of the cargo.
Caitlyn takes one last look at the monkey image, before leaving the area as well.
Meanwhile, Sevika walks through the Undercity. There's neon green lights all around, and the people within the area seem to be lively. With a few people driving, some people talking amongst eachother, and others sharing drugs with one another.
Sevika walks into the restaurant known as the last drop. Now it's much different than it was in the past. Lights are flashing everywhere, and the people are dancing even crazier than the lights are going.
She walks towards a back room of the restaurant, and she's met with two guards standing at a door at the end of the hallway. The guards don't confront Sevika at all, as she walks up to the door, with a knock against it. "Come in." Says the man inside of the room.
Sevika enters the room inside. There Silcos sits inside of a leather chair, facing the opposite direction of the door. "I heard the operation was a fail." Silco says, before turning the chair around, to completely face Sevika.
Sevika sits down with an angered expression. "It was Jinx..she froze." Sevika argues.
"That sounds like excuses to me..you were the head of the operation, and you come to me with nothing to show for it. Don't let it happen again." Silco demands of Sevika, while staring deep at her.
Sevika grows very annoyed, though she quickly agrees to do better. After that, Silco grabs a needle gun from the drawers of his desk that he's sitting in front of. "As for Jinx. Tell her to come see me." Silco demands.
Sevika shakes her head. "That brat won't listen to me." Sevika argues.
"Then tell Lucy to tell her. She'll listen to her." Silco orders. "Okay." Sevika responds to Silco, before standing up from the chair, and walking out of the room.
Afterwards, Silco uses the needle gun to poke himself in the eye. It injects shimmer into his eye, which causes some of the veins on that side of his face to grow purple, along with his eye. Silco drops the needle gun and grunts in pain.
Not too long after Jinx remains in her hideout, going from place to place, and talking to the haunting voices in her head. her hideout is a broken industrial fan dangling over an enormous crevasse. Along with broken glass, pink and green neon splash, broken explosives, and the name "Jinx" covered everywhere. "There's no way that she's alive, right? I mean right?" Jinx said in a shaky and uneasy tone as she looked in the mirror where the broken glass was.
In the reflection of the broken glass, Mylo and Claggor appears behind her. "Ofcourse she's alive..she just doesn't wanna be around you..just like Silver doesn't." Mylos voice rings in her head, causing her to slouch over and hold on to the top of her forehead with heavily clenched fists that grip at the roots of her hair.
"No..no..no..she's dead." With her trembling vocal cords and voices continuing to bounce around In her head, she desperately tries to convince herself that Vi is indeed dead.
Quickly, Jinx begins to lose it. She falls down to her knees. Everywhere her eyes turn, she sees the ghosts of the people that she once loved. The only one who looks human is Silver, who has A taunting smile directed towards her. "Stop! Stop! Stop!" She screams with her hands covering over her ears, and her eyes tightly clenched to hopefully stop what she's seeing and hearing.
"Jinx.." someone suddenly places a hand over her shoulder, causing her to quickly open her eyes, and get up. There, she sees Lucy kneeling in front of her with a worried expression.
"Are you okay?" Lucy asks, while Jinx stares at her without blinking at all, almost as if she's trying to see if Lucy is real.
Jinx begins to stand up, while looking all around, and blinking continuously. "Ofcourse!" Jinx smiles ecstatically, while Lucy looks at her even more worried than she did initially.
Jinx proceeds to skip off to where her inventions are, while Lucy watches her. She proceeds to sit down by her inventions, while attending to them. "Silco wants you to come by his office..but, I don't think you should go.." Lucy says to Jinx, as she walks over to her.
Jinx rocks from side to side, before turning to look at Lucy. "Why's that?" Jinx questions.
Lucy continues to look troubled, and she searches around for an answer to give. "You, me, and Silver." The moment Lucy mentions Silver, Jinxs smile drops, and she stops rocking like she just was "..We should just go..go somewhere far away." Lucy offers with a mumble.
"Silver..Silver abandoned us." Jinx slowly stands up, as she moves in closer to Lucy, with that same deep stare in her eyes. "Ooooh Silver..if anything, he's worst than Vi. Atleast Vi told me that she thought I was a Jinx. But Silver? He just left, even though he.." jinx says to Lucy, while Lucy watches. Jinx then stops talking and starts to space out in her thoughts.
After a few seconds, Lucy nods her head. "Okay..it's alright..but hey, I'll be right back okay?" Lucy says to Jinx, and Jinx watches her with a stare, as Lucy walks off.
Moments later, Lucy walks through the deepest, darkest areas of the undercity. With a worried expression, she creeps around an area filled with people on drugs. Most of them have eyes sunken in, pale skin, and dirty clothes. Some of which also act like mindless zombies.
In a rundown shack within the area, Lucy walks up to it, and knocks on the door. After a bit of time, the person in the shack opens the door. "Silver..I'm sorry, but I haven't been telling you everything about Jinx.." Lucy says to Silver, who stares down at her.
Silver looks slightly different, with longer hair, and darker eyes. He's also fairly skinny. "Jinx..why are you calling her that..?" Silver questions with a monotone.
Lucy looks to the side, with guilt in her eyes, before looking at Silver once again. "She needs our help.." Lucy insists to Silver, and the two continue to stare at eachother for a bit.
