Wukong looked confused at the situation as it was explained to him. He didn't seem concerned, more curious as to why Vi would be anyone's target. She was a mean one! So focused on beating the snot out of anyone who crossed her! Who'd want to pick a fight with her?
Unless it was someone scary like another Champion maybe! But who'd chase Vi? And why was she working with Fate? Isn't he the most wanted criminal in Piltover?
Wukong's brow wrinkled a bit, blinking as he noticed an odd spot on his armor. What was this? It looked.. familiar.. He'd wipe it off, only to realize it wasn't coming away.
The monkey's clone stepped from the alley, noticing Caitlyn's rifle aimed at him. He'd look at her curiously before making his way towards the woman and Graves, "Why are you aiming at me?" He questioned.
Meanwhile, the silent monkey would trail behind Vi and Fate, watching Vi more than Fate as he tried to pick through what was taking place. He'd listen more than talk, but when he spoke it was filled with the usual, jovial attitude he often had. "I'm happy to help!" He said cheerfully.

Caitlyn would frown, lowering her rifle as she inspected the Monkey King. "Ah, my apologies Wukong. Have you seen where Vi and/or Twisted Fate has ran off to? Vi is...wanted, for murder, by the police."
"Wanted by the police?" He looked baffled at the idea, "For murder. Hmm that's unusual! Are you sure?" He had a hard time believing that Vi would be capable of murder. Well.. less difficulty then say.. Caitlyn. Vi might pummel people, but she didn't seem the murdering type.
"What happened?" He asked with his arms folding, tilting his head to one side with a more intent focus on his usually cheerful visage. Something was weird to him. He wanted to know as much as he could to better decide on a course of action.
That and it appeared not the whole truth was revealed to him. The clone of Wukong remained, convincingly so. It'd be impossible to determine it wasn't Wukong unless he was suddenly struck down.
But what would they suspect it wasn't the real one?
From behind Wukong, a small green puddle was forming up. It seemed to come from the alley, from over the wall, it all oozed over the corner of the building, pooling together until a green figure. Zac wasn't one for ungraceful entrances, but he was getting impatient, hiding in the cracks and spying wasn't his favorite pastime. "Apologies for slipping in..." he said, as soon as his mouth had reformed, "but it seems you're looking for your partner. Shall I help?"

Caitlyn opened her mouth to speak, when Zac came up from the ground, her jaw dropping slightly for a second, before she shut it, shaking her head. "Yes, yes, I need help finding Vi. Do you know where she is?"

Twisted Fate pondered what Vi said as they ran. Granted, being on the rooftops would speed up their travel, but it would make them more visible to those on the ground...then again who really looked up? Though there was the question of getting up, and pulley systems were not really common in the back alleys.
"Alright Vi, shoot. Ah think it might be faster, but is there anyway ta' the rooftops that won't force us ta' get seen by dozens of civilians? After all three champions running in together will attract a lot of attention." Twisted Fate explained as he led the group through the dirty, about as much dirt an alley can accumulate in Piltover. They took a left then a right and would continue straight for quite awhile.

Vi nodded. "Yeah, just gimme a moment." She went silent as she ran behind Fate, slinging her arms into her gauntlets again and looking up. As they hit the straight run, she paused. "Oi, Fate. Got a surprise for you."
She took her gauntlet and knocked against the side of the building relatively hard a couple of times, standing to the side of the wall and smiling cockily. After a second, there was a low rattle, and a fire escape ladder came clattering to the floor. "Just found a way up. Comin' along?"
She grabbed the fire escape and prepared to climb up it, her gauntlets already slung back onto her back. She gave Fate a quick nod and a smile. Maybe they'd make it out after all.
The clone monkey folded his arms thoughtfully as he observed Caitlyn, blinking a few times at the appearance of Zac. A confused look hit him again as he'd scratch the back of his head. "Oooh you're Zac, right!?" He said excitedly, "I'm Wukong, the Monkey King!" As if Zac didn't know him already - at least from the League. He seemed eager to make introductions none the less!
Back to Caitlyn, he'd nod for her to continue. He wanted to hear the details after all.
With Vi and Fate, the REAL Wukong gave a cheeky smile as Vi knocked the fire escape latter down. He'd do what monkeys did best! He climbed a bit before jumping up to grab the bottom of the bottom landing, then scaled his way upward with his natural agility carrying him quickly along. Ah the wonders of being a monkey!
Wukong decidedly didn't inform the pair that he was getting intel from Caitlyn with his clone.

Twisted Fate nodded at Vi once she brought down the fire escape that would work just fine! "Alright good thinkin' Vi, now we ought ta' be out of here in no time!" The gypsy said as he climbed up after her and made his way to the roof. From there he would jump to the next roof, and the one after that. They seemed to be making pretty good time, Twisted Fate was surprised that Caitlyn had not yet acted. Maybe this is why that small time criminal C keep escaping from her.
Twisted Fate on the other hand was trying to keep ahead of the famous Sheriff's mind. Once they got to the north end of town, they would acquire a vehicle and hightail it out of Piltover. Hopefully it would be difficult for anyone to attempt to follow them. After all like a famous tactician the Cardmaster had to stay five steps ahead of the authorities. Though his best ally was not strategy, rather his were luck and foresight. Destiny was always a good ally to have, "So Vi, Ah gotta ask why are ya' runnin' ta' Zaun of all places?"

Vi shrugged while keeping up with Fate. "Oh, you know. Close, fast transport, less likely to extradite me. You know how many people I've seen extradited from Zaun? Three. You know how many of them were politicians wanted out of the way by lower-downs? Three. It'll buy me some time to get far away from here."

They were there the recognizance bots guttering the news the information, the location of every important figure every important player on Piltover, outside of the field of vision the little robots observed the location and identified every single individual on the streets of most of Piltover. Some of the robots leeched to the nearby computers downloading files on the most recent events on town. The news shocking yes…Vi now a murderer, but it was fitting with the movements and conversations held by Wukong, Vi, Twisted Fate, Caitlyn, Jayce, Graves and Zac…yes a an problematic group of individuals… The information was going directly to Singed and before long the answer was clear… help Vi to escape Piltover…what was the best plan? Mugging her out now that she had so many people looking for her or mugging out a group of 3 wouldn’t be easy mmm…. if memory served right the chairman Magnus D. was on the Zaunite embassy clearing some paper works so a couple of failed experiments could win the Piltoveran residence…getting a Zaunite citizenship for Vi would be easy and she wouldn’t be bound by Piltoverian law, even better she would be able to go through the front door with the proper amount of paper work. Ok the plan was mostly ready. One of the small bots not bigger than the fist of a small child descended from a roof to Vi’s shoulder, the bot tapped Vi’s shoulder before talking…it was actually Singed talking trough the robot. “Greetings enforcer and company it has come to my multiple ears news of your misfortunate incident mind if I help you a little? For starters taking care of the tracking “goo" slash devise on your foot?” Another bot swiftly descended upon her foot and took the good before starting to run on another direction. “One of the ticks of a certain “hero” I know another one of those that are behind you but it seems that your friend knows of his participation on getting you…along Graves, Caitlyn and Jayce it seems.” The bot then displayed a small map showing the location of the search party as well as their location. “In my current…condition I can only provide you info and a safe spot.” A red point glowed on the map showing the location of the Zaunite embassy that was much closer than the border of the city. “Well once you get there you are in a law neutral zone and the chairman of Zaun will have you a little gift that will solve your current situation.” “You are already a couple of steps ahead of them and I’m sure that you can outsmart your persecutors in I will leave this little bot with you in order to consult the map and give you small advise sadly I can keep the map up for more than 1 minute every 2 for battery issues.” “So the game is up as some say.” On some other roof was yet another bot observing the searching party trying to staty hiden as they talked to the clone. Zaunite ambassy
The chairman Magnus D. was resting on a make shift office after having deal with a whole set of problems cause by the current inmigration of experimented Zaunite to Piltover and the Piltoverien government not wanting to many “dangerous” individuals crossing his borders after the “Viktor incident.”
Then one of the robots a smaller one composed by less nanites than the one in Vis shoulder tapped his shoulder.
“Magnus I need you to get ready some documents to give political asylum to the Piltoverian champion Vi the enforcer and I need them now.” “Sigh just when I thought I could rest” thought the chairman to himself before getting to work, (Posts to get to the embassy 4)

When the robot began speaking to her, Vi sort of freaked. If there was one thing she didn't like, it was spiders. After brushing it off, however, she realized it was Singed trying to help. She heard him out, keeping at a brisk pace to make sure that they weren't sidetracked too much. When Singed mentioned that the embassy would take her and her crew in, though, she stopped.
"Wait. Seriously? Asylum?"
She paused and let him finish. After the map was displayed, Singed went silent, and she presumed that he would stay that way for a bit. "Fate, this seems like a good deal. I think I can get to the embassy on my own. Do you think you and banana boy can buy me some time from the cops? I don't need anything lethal, but a couple gold cards and decoys would be fine."
She reflexively slipped her gauntlets on, preparing for a sprint across the rooftops. She was still open to suggestions, but it seemed likely that the embassy was the best choice.
Sendrel had been in Piltover on "business," as well as to get some repairs. His tasks completed for the day, he was about to head out from the city when something piqued his interest. Well, two things that were obliviously related, anyway.
One was that he had caught a glimpse of Vi, Twisted Fate, and Wukong running around together near the docks. That alone was suspicious.
The second was that he had heard Caitlyn, Zac, Graves, and... Wukong... talking about tracking Vi down. For murder.
Sendrel wasn't about to let an opportunity like this slip through his fingers. His funds were low, and he figured that a price would be put on The Enforcer's head within hours. He NEEDED the job. Besides, he hadn't seen any real combat in days.
He quickly ducked into an alley and moved towards the point where he had last seen Vi. He knew that the situation was delicate, given that there were 2/3 champions aiding her. But at this point his lack of emotion had overrided all other ideas.
He didn't bother informing Caitlyn of his activities. He had never gotten along with the authorities anyway, and he wasn't about to start working with them now. Not with a reward at stake.

Twisted Fate nodded, "Ah suppose that would be true, Ah would have thought Caitlyn would have caught em...maybe that is why C is still runnin' round'. Maybe the famous Sheriff of Piltover is losin' her precious touch." The gypsy chuckled a bit knowing that it would make leaving Piltover so much easier. It was then that Twisted Fate noticed the tiny robot speaking to Vi, offering an asylum. Well that was quite the tempting deal....but almost too convenient. Granted, the embassy was much closer, though Twisted Fate questioned why there was a Zaunite embassy in Piltover, but he did not care about politics too much.
Now he was the thousand gold coin question. Should he inform Vi about the possible risks associated with accepting such a deal? If she were to die or get captured by Singed it would make Piltover even easier to escape, but then again she did owe him an unnamed favor. Oh the decisions, that unnamed favor could really help out in the future.
"Vi, think about it. Singed, a Zaunite bein' eager ta' help ya'? That smells like a bad deal from here." The Cardmaster explained, "Sure it would be faster, but ask yer'self? What am Ah willin' ta' give up fer' this quick escape? Plus how am Ah suppose ta' get mah favor if ya' get throwin' in jail or somethin?" Yes there was the selfish side of Twisted Fate, just lying in wait.
"In the end is it yer' choice, but once ya' dig yer' grave ya' gotta sleep in it too. Ah propose we just run fer' the edge of town, Ah've always defied the odds anyways." Twisted Fate explained with a smirk at his ability of defying all the odds.

"Aight." She nodded. "That settles it. I'm going to go..."
With that, she dropped off of the side of the building, swinging down to the street. "Gottagobyenowholdchasersuppleasehavefungoodluck!" she cried as she sprinted towards the Zaunite Embassy.
