Gangster

PiltOver's Capital, Shurima Continent.

In a particular alley, five silhouettes could be seen within the dark alley, they are Vi, Powder and the company! [AN: I FORGOT THEIR NAME!]

"Vi, Powder, what happened to you two?" Ekko asks, the other two also stood there with a worried expression.

….

Flashback

Several hours ago...

"POWDERR!" An excited shout from Ekko from several meters away, behind him, are his two companions.

But when they got close to Jayce's group, they all slowed down, coming to a halt. There, they saw an unfamiliar man, holding an unconscious Vi in a princess pose. Their expressions turned warily as they took out weapons, metal pipes!

"You! Let go of her this instance!" Ekko shouts, he naturally recognizes the person in front of them, after all, that is their target! Jayce, the half-dragon Arcanist!

Although he stood calm fearlessly, his heart is beating at an extreme rate, sweat flowing down his neck. Nonetheless, he is doing fairly than the others, they were already quaking in their boots in fear.

"Ekko! Milo!" Powder turned around when she heard someone shout her name. She ran toward the group and embraced Ekko.

"Are you okay?" Ekko hugs her back with one arm and asks her softly, a crimson blush crept up on the corner of his cheeks. Yes, he has a small crush on her! They are the same age and hang out together often, it wouldn't be weird if a small spark has ignited in his heart.

"I'm fine..." Powder said

"You should put those down; they are not bad people...." She then explains to them what had happened, trying to calm their nerves down, and it seems to work as they lowered their weapon, breathing sighs of relief.

"Vi is unconscious right now, probably exhausted herself, we'll take care of her while you guys wait at the spot, okay?"-Powder

Hearing that, Ekko innerly struggled, although she had explained that Jayce and them are good people, he doesn't want to leave them alone with strangers, so he wanted to say something, but...

"Pwease?"-Powder, her bright pink eyes sparked, the ultimate Jutsu, Puppy eyes!

"that...I..." Ekko's blushes intensify, facing his crush plead, could he say no? Of course not!

"Fine, we'll wait for you guys at the spot." He finally relented, he took a good last look at her and the unconscious Vi, turning around, waving his hand at the group.

"Let's go..."

"Oh, look who's in love, how romantic"- Milo [AN: I found his name, nvm]

"Pissed off!"

…

Present...

"What happened to you two back there?"-Ekko

"Nothing much, don't worry about it. But I have some good hauls, let's go back first." Vi said, she has a silly smile on her face, on her back is a small backpack, filled with some stuff...

She walks toward a small door with a lock on it, taking out a key from her pocket, she picks locks the door.

*shuah* The door opened, what behind is a tunnel that led down toward the ground.

"Hurry up, Vander will be mad at us otherwise..." She faced the group and said, with a small jump, she slides down the tunnel, disappearing to the darkness within.

"You heard the boss, let's go..." Powder cutely said, she also hopped down the tunnel, sliding down.

*Within the tunnel*

"Whoooooooo!" -powder

*thud* she slid for several seconds before falling into a soft mattress.

"I never get tired of this" she giggled.

"WAAAAAAAAAH" *thump* Several screams came within the tunnel, then they fell altogether, piling on one another.

"GET OFF ME, YOU'RE TOO HEAVY!"-Milo, the unfortunate one who went first.

"Shhh! We have company" Vi shush, her expression turning serious as she looks ahead. There they saw 20 people, men, and women, holding metal pipes as they look at VI's group.

"Hehe, Yo Vi, I heard you went toward the Upper (PiltOver), sharing is caring am I right? If you give us 80% of your loots, I might consider leaving you guys' unscathed, how about MUAHAHAHAA!" One of the men said.

"Yeah, yeah loots, give me loots! All of it!"

"Hey boss, how about let me play with them for a couple of rounds, HAHAHA"

One by one the gangster remarked, they slowly walked toward Vi.

"Blackbeard Gang"-Powder

"DAMN YOU!"-Ekko

"Oi Vi, I think we should run, QUICK!"- Milo

Blackbeard gang, the notorious gang within Zaun, are famous for robbing people out in broad daylight, usually, enforcers would have already been notified and sent out troops to arrest them, then why they have not? It's because the Blackbeard gang is under a noble!

Ekko and the company panicked, facing 20 people they don't seem optimistic about the situation. They might get out of this, due to their superior skills but it will at least cost them an arm and legs! [AN: Not literally of course.]

Only Vi and Powder are the only calm people, as they look at the gang like a bunch of idiots.

"You want our loots, huh? Don't you think you will get retribution for being too greedy?" Vi calmly states, she crossed her arm. Usually, she would be like Ekko, panicked and give them what they wanted, but that was in the past...

"Then come and get it yourself!" Vi grinned, her aura flared out. A translucent red murderous aura emerged from her body, spreading outward,

The group halted, they all trembled in the face of Vi's Haoshoku. They wanted to run away but found their legs glued stuck to the ground.

"OI, WAKE UP!" The leader also felt her aura but handled it better than his subordinate, shouted.

His loud voice seemed to have worked as his subordinates woke up from their stupor.

"NO MATTER HOW SCARY SHE IS, WE HAVE THE NUMBER! SHE CAN'T HANDLE ALL OF US AT ONCE, CHARGE!"

"WOAAAAH!" They yelled and charged! Their leader's words made sense, 20 adults couldn't lose to a bunch of kids, right?

"OI, VI, are you crazy? Why did you provoke them!?" Milo said, but he was then slapped on the back of his head.

"Sigh, what's the point of complaining now, if you're scared just run," Ekko said, even if he knows they would be beaten up, so what? When have they ever lived a peaceful life within this city? Unless you are a noble, living in Zaun is very harsh.

"Powder, stay behind me!" Ekko turns to Powder; he spoke, patting his chest. He had expected her to run right behind him and say

'Yes, brother Ekko is so manly and strong! Please protect this delicate me!'-Powder

'Of course, of course, just stay behind me, I will protect you forever! Yohohoho!' Ekko

"Oi, Ekko, take Powder and run!" Vi suddenly shouted, breaking his sweet daydream.

"VI! I WANT TO STAY AND FIGHT WITH YOU!" Powder protested, it was always Vi who had protected her, she wanted to be the protector this time!

"EKKO!" Vi ignored her pleading, she instead shouted louder

"Yes!" Knowing this wasn't the time to joke around, he turned around and picked her up, despite her struggling. He would rather be hated by her than see her get hurt.

"Vi! PUT ME DOWN EKKO!" Powder hamming her fists at Ekko's back as she looked at Vi, who is getting farther away with tears in her eyes.

"VI"

"vi"

"vi...."

"Sorry Powder, I don't want you to experience that again..." Vi mumbled, remembering about the dream she just had earlier. Ever since that day, her personality has changed, for better or worse, but she promised herself that Powder would never be in that situation again, as long as she is alive!

'Now then, come!' Her aura flares once more, Arcane energies covered her fist! Yes, that is right ARCANE!

….

Back to Jayce

In a room, Jayce was sitting on the bed, Caitlyn who is also within the room sitting on his lap, with her arm crossed his neck as she gives him deep kisses.

"hmph! Don't think you can bribe me with this, Jayce, Baka!" Separating from his sweet lips, she snorted and said, although the crimson blushes on her face just make her look extremely cute instead of threatening.

"Oh? Then I guess I have to compensate you in some other way." Jayce lewdly smiles, his naughty hands snaking around her dress, looking for their meals! But was slapped away by her hands.

"Anyways, I saw you gave packed them some stuff in a backpack, what was in there?" Caitlyn asked. Trying to change the subject before she gives up to temptation. Although she wouldn't mind if Jayce wanted to go for third base, she's not quite sure if she's ready for it.

As if understanding her intentions, he respects her wishes and does not insist further.

"Well, since they're my disciple now. I naturally would give them something to learn, otherwise, I would be an incompetent teacher!" Jayce replied with a smile,
