Garen and Darius, Lux and Katarina, Draven and Xin Zhao, Jarvan IV and Swain, Taric and LeBlanc, Galio and Sion,....
Demacia: no longer undead, just insanely old. A paragon of justice who crushes the defences of Demacia's enemy without remorse or hesitation. Freljord: A long dead Iceborn hero re-animated with black ice to serve Lissandra. Bandle City: A yordle who's almost man size who is very nasty and mean to others, but isn't totally insane. Piltover: An enormous man with an axe that also transforms in to a rocket launcher or something. He'd also probably look very engineer'y Zaun: Urgot, basically. Shurima: An ancient, forgotten soldier of Shurima, possibly ascended. Either re-animated by ancient magic or trapped for centuries beneath the sands. Bilgewater: A ruthless, huge and bloodthirsty pirate captain. He sees your puny cannons and just hurls himself on to enemy boats, dismantling them single handedly! Shadow Isles: I don't think this one needs much explaining. Ionia: A man who served as guardian of an ancient evil who has since succumbed to its machinations. He struggles to try and remember who he once was. The Void: A powerful warrior infused with the Void's powers. As it consumes his mind he desperately tries to claw himself back, but he just can't stop himself slipping away slowly but surely.
This is definitely quite the question since 
belongs to no faction, so her siding with anyone seems like a cool idea. Since she isn't apart of any faction, there really is no need to modify her lore, so I'll just play as if this is an extension of her lore.
Here I go: After being animated, Zyra finds herself in
Demacia: She attempts to destroy the city but is stopped by Lux and Garen. She is beaten easily as she hasn't learned how to control her powers against worthy adversaries. She is held captive but offered a second chance as one of the Military's elite members(Maybe even the Dauntless Vanguard). She accepts and hones her abilities to do that of justice. She quickly climbs the ranks and becomes equals with Lux and Garen.
Noxus: She attempts to destroy the city but is quickly stopped by the mass of highly trained soldiers. Most of the population wants to see her put to the Fleshing, the arena in which Alistar and Xin Xhao were forced to fight. However, the High Command sees the great potential in her as a soldier/weapon. They offer her great power in return for service and loyalty. She accepts and receives enhancements from the Noxian ally, Zaun, and joins the Noxian ranks. She climbs the ranks quickly and becomes a field expert and trap layer.
Piltover: (I know this is repititous but) She attempts to destroy the city and is stopped by Caitlyn and Vi. They are about to destroy her when the scientists, including Jayce, Heimerdinger, and Rumble, hear of her and demand they not execute her. The scientists offer her advancements in power in return she allow them to experiment on her. She agrees. They begin testing and and give her extreme power and control. She is grateful to the scientists and allows them to continue testing as well as becomes one of the defenders of the city.
Zaun:(I'll save a bit of time on this one. It's almost exactly the same as in Piltover, however she is FORCED to be a part of the experiments conducted by Viktor, Singed, and others of the like.) She abhorred this but was then granted ultimate power from these tests, and forgave the scientists of their deeds, since their tests proved very fruitful. She finally had the power she was after, but she knew that she would need an ally so that the other great powers of the land wouldn't abuse her power against her will. She decides to stay in Zaun as an ally, and now chooses which tests she will allow to be done upon her.
Freljord: She is weak from the cold and on the brink of death when Ashe finds her. Ashe helps Zyra and brings her back to the main city. Ashe informs Zyra of all that was happening then left her to rest up. While Ashe was away, however, Lissandra visits Zyra and sees the power within her. Lissandra offers Zyra the power she wants in return for her loyalty and eventual use when the watchers return. Zyra, unable to resist the promise of power, accepts these terms and acts as a powerful ally to Ashe and her people, but ultimately serves Lissandra and waits patiently with her for the Watchers return.
Bandle City: (You guessed it. Attempt at city destruction) She is thwarted by the inhabitants,(VERSION 1) but they see her as useful in city defense, since the city is surrounded by mostly green with a jungle nearby. The inhabitants of Bandle City train her and mold her into a powerful ally. She is given power by the yordle allies in Piltover. (VERSION 2) She is held captive in the city due to her destructive nature while the leaders decide a method of disposing of her. Meanwhile, Veigar hears of this being of power feared by his former city and rescues her from them. Veigar offers her power beyond her dreams in return for her partnership as allies. She agrees and the two begin their journey to ultimate power together. (I had this one as two versions because of the nature of Zyra. The first is if she had to become an ally of the faction, while the second is how I view the interaction going.)
Shurima: (Similar to Freljord) Zyra is weak from the heat of the desert but is saved by Azir. Azir offers her a safe haven and a place among his great city in return for her service as a soldier. She accepts but still seeks her power she yearns for. Azir notices this and makes her a deal. He would share his power with her if she promised not to grant her powers to dark evils. She reluctantly accepts but later is appreciative of her choice as Azir shows her how to use her powers for good without twisted intent.
Bilgewater: Zyra travels along the South Eastern coastline of Runeterra when she is attacked by a group of pirates from Bilgewater. She easily defeats them. However, the news of the pirates death was heard in Bilgewater so they send out their best men to bring her back for her crimes. They defeat her and bring her back to Bilgewater. As they examine her, they determine she'd be a good ally to have on the mainland. They decide to let her live on one condition; that she offers her help to Bilgewater by either helping destroy current towns and civilizations, or relaying information about other civilizations whereabouts. She accepts, but requests that she be granted more power for her allegiance. Bilgewater agreed and sent her off to the mainland to begin her duty.
Shadow Isles: She wanders to the Shadow Isles and is greeted by a mysterious force. She looks around at the dead vegetation and realizes that she is connecting with the lingering spirits of the plants around her. She is told of the dastardly war that took place that ravaged the wildlife here. Outraged, she vowed vengeance for these plants and the plants responded gratefully. These plants channeled their spirits into Zyra, granting her powers of an unimaginable proportion. With her new found power ready to destroy the people of Runeterra for destroying so many of her kind, she set off to fulfill her promise to the plants of the Shadow Isles.
Ionia:(City destruction. Defeated. Yadayada) She was held captive by the Ionian government but was approached by Karma. Karma offered to teach her how to control her power, as well as give her more, in return that she would help defend Ionia. Reluctantly, she agreed. Karma taught Zyra how to control herself within body and mind. Zyra became a spiritual leader among the Ionians as well as a defender of the nation. By having even deeper relation with the forests and landscape of Ionia, she was able to defend Ionia well.
The Void: Zyra wanders to Icathia, the mysterious lost city, and finds Malzahar there. She decides not to interact with him as he seems to be doing something rather odd. Before she can continue any farther, what appears to be a rift opens in front of Malzahar. A rift that shows all these ghastly creatures in a torn universe. She begins to have a very strange feeling, a feeling of extreme power...and of extreme hunger. She realizes that this feeling is coming from this rift. She accepts this feeling and lets it wash over her. She felt her body begin to change as the powers of this void washed over her. It suddenly stops. She looks and sees that Malzahar is gone and the rift closed. She was about to become furious, but when even the slightest bit of emotion ran through her, her powers surged and huge plants erupted, destroying many structures and shifted the ground. She became happy as her power coursed through her body. She became hungry, however. Hungry for more. She set off on her journey to satisfy this hunger.
This is what I'd think Zyra would be a part of with the different factions. However, the Bilgewater one may be slightly different. I don't know too much about the place. Another thing I want to remind anyone who reads this is that this is all based after her current lore. This is also mainly if she HAD to become an ally of them. Bandle City was an exception because I felt that the inclusion of Veigar would be great.
Also, let me know if I missed a faction or place you want to see included in this
Well... Rumble from Zaun could be similar to Ekko... except that he would use a giant mecha instead of a time machine
Or Viktor similar to Jayce...
Demacia: Arch Magus, arcane power infused human body with his armor helping him not getting killed by it.
Noxus: Just as now but unbound
Ionia: Spiritual being with dragon infused powers
Bilgewater: Caster Nautilus xD
Zaun: battlecast, duh
Piltover: Stempunk lightining based being
