TRIGGER WARNING ;; VIOLENCE AND WEAPONS.

...

As the two dance about, giving each other lazy grins. [Name] 'accidentally' stepped on both of Ekko's boots that he was wearing, causing him to scrunch his nose up in surprise.

A quick breath left his lips from catching on what [Name] was doing, causing him to leer at an idea popping up in his head. "I see how it is, Firefly." And, with that he tilted [Name's] body downwards.

He had dipped them. To this, [Name] let out a surprised yelp and gripped the hems of Ekko's shirt to try not slip onto the ground. "What the hell?! This isn't a rom-com, fucking hell."

Ekko could only roll his eyes playfully, his smirk growing even more. "I know, it isn't, Firefly. Just, payback for stepping on me." The [Hair Colour]-haired [boy | girl | person] raised a brow within questioning, using their nearest leg to kick at the back of Ekko's legs and forcing him to tilt his body backwards.

This caused [Name] to have the advantage of still gripping on the hems of Ekko's shirt and pulled him in close to them. A coy smirk was placed over [Name's] face, the white-haired boy was merely blinking in shock. "Well, I guess we're both even now, huh?" A brow was raised in questioning, Ekko brought himself to finally nod.

Ekko gaped his mouth open, about to say something, but an eruption of laughter that echoed through the air was heard.

"Awww, am I late for dance practice?" The voice was taunting, causing [Name] to let go of Ekko in the outburst moment of easy shock. The white-haired boy let out a small yelp, stumbling upon his feet from being let go and sent [Name] a mini-glare, before his glare deepened upon realising, who the voice belonged to.

Jinx.

"Well, shit. The chaotic blueberry is here." [Name] gritted their teeth, frowning deeply and grasped their hoverboard. "Well, shall we deal with her, O' Wise Leader?" They could only await Ekko's answer, which was to be a quick nod.

As Jinx made her appearance through the thickness of blue smog she had created, the two had been lifted onto their hoverboards and made their way to Jinx quickly. Jinx's irises dilated and a twisting grin formed upon her face, bringing out her gun and revolving its shots up.

Thank goodness, Ekko and [Name] did come prepared with their own weapons. What? They aren't dumbasses, when it comes to roaming about the streets of Zaun!

Jinx was now ready, her eyes narrowed and her lips wavered into a small twitch of displeasure from seeing the two make their way towards her. As they did, she started to shoot at each of them and even aimed towards their hoverboards to try and divert them away.

She managed to get to [Name's] hoverboard, causing [Name] to user their hammer to steer them away from anymore oncoming shots and launched themself towards Jinx, slamming the hammer against the ground.

Now for Ekko, as [Name] had already slammed the hammer into the ground, he could feel the ground shake only by a little and was still steady upon his hoverboard. He used his bat to swing hits at Jinx, managing to knock her away before she could shoot her shot at one of [Name's] legs.

Jinx let out an irritated grunt, her eyes radiating with livid anger from this and let out a shrieking yell, as she then tackled [Name]. The [boy | girl | person] kicked Jinx away from them, as the blue-haired girl had finally grabbed her gun, but she was hit down by Ekko's bat.

Ekko and [Name] let out deep breaths, [Name] massaged their forehead to relieve themself of what just happened. Ekko went to grab their hoverboards, hoping for the two to quickly leave, since it seemed that Jinx was knocked on out.

[Name] put their hammer away, walking near to Jinx to double-check on her and could only let out a hitched breath from feeling the cold ridges of a gun be at the tips of their chin. The darkened eyes of Jinx stared intently at [Name], a coy grin forming onto her face.

"I don't stay down forever, Sweet Toots."

[Name] scrunched their nose in frustration, Ekko turned around and widened his eyes in horror. As he started running towards [Name] and grabbed his bat, he was ready to attack Jinx and rescue [Name], but the gun merely clicked in motion of each movement he made.

Ekko slowed himself to a stop, his breathing was vastly-paced from the adrenaline and his stance was tense uneasiness from how this current situation was going now.

"Guess, the Boy Saviour can't really save Sweet Toots, huh?" Jinx slyly remarked, gripping the back of [Name's] neck and let out a ragged breath. The blue-haired girl then whispered into [Name's] ear, "You're pretty. I can see why the Boy Saviour had his gracious dance with you."

The gun was trailed down the side of [Name's] cheek in motion, Ekko swallowing down his breath and kept his glare upon Jinx. He knew he couldn't just carelessly move and get [Name's] life at risk in that way, so he looked around for a way to get [Name] away from Jinx.

The blue-haired girl must've seemed to have caught onto what Ekko was trying to do, because she then announced, "I think, I'm going to keep them for a while. Doesn't that seem like a good idea, Sweet Toots?"

[Name] kept silent, glancing at Ekko and their frown could only grow. They flinched, tilting their head up from the gun being pressed even more further into their neck. Jinx merely glanced at the frantic white-haired boy, who was in a mindless panic and mockingly waved at him.

"Toodles!" And, the bang of a bomb was heard: a more purple-ish smog erupted from it and Ekko coughed slightly from the sudden substance. Wavering his hand, he looked around to see that Jinx and [Name] were gone.

His shoulders slumped in defeat, falling down to the ground and his breathing had become more ragged with worry.

Ekko had failed to rescue [Name] on time.
