Jinx winced in pain, clutching her side after the brutal encounter with Warwick. Her body ached, but just then, Isha appeared, silently taking the orb from Jinx and attaching it to a device in her hands. The weapon began to glow with energy.
Fear gripped Jinx’s heart as she watched Isha run toward Warwick. The weapon was unstable—if it fired, it could explode, and Jinx’s heart raced at the thought. She tried to stop her daughter, but Vi held her back, keeping her from rushing to Isha.
Isha slid under Warwick’s attack, kneeling in front of him and miming a shooting motion with her hands. She mouthed the word pow. Jinx stood frozen, fearing the worst as the device glowed brighter, ready to unleash its power.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, rushing toward Isha. Without hesitation, the stranger grabbed Isha, pulling her out of harm’s way. The energy in the weapon dissipated harmlessly as it hit the ground.
The stranger, cloaked and masked, stepped in front of Isha, their presence unwavering. Warwick growled in fury, but the stranger was unphased. They struck quickly, using their tendrils to bind Warwick’s legs, forcing the beast to the ground.
In a final move, the stranger delivered a crushing blow, subduing Warwick completely. The beast lay still, defeated.
Jinx stood in stunned silence for a moment before speaking, her voice shaky but filled with disbelief. Vi had fleed the scene. “Who… who are you?” She glanced at Isha, then back at the stranger, her mind racing. “Why did you help us?". Isha runs to Jinx and hugs her tightly before going over to hug you.
