Meeting the rest of the gang

As Cyrus finished speaking, 2 of the remaining thugs charged him from both sides. Cyrus seeing this is unimpressed, as once the thugs charging him are close enough Cyrus acts.

He discreetly uses his biomass manipulation to enhance his legs as he kicks the thugs side. Which causes the thug to fly and hit the ally wall knocking him unconscious.

The other thug who was charging Cyrus saw this and tried to stop himself but it was too late, as Cyrus was already Infront of him.

Cyrus, wanting to test out his full strength transforms his hand into its symbiotic form and punches the thug in the stomach.

The thug spits blood as he hits the ground groaning in pain. Cyrus, seeing this display of strength from himself feels satisfied with his current capabilities. He retracted his symbiotic form as to not scare Powder to much.

He slowly walked up to the last thug who had now dropped to his knees in terror.

The closer Cyrus got, the more panicked the thug became. Once Cyrus was standing Infront of him the thug passed out in fear.

Cyrus was confused as to why the thug passed out, he had yet to do anything to him. But it didn't matter anymore because now, all of the thugs had been delt with. 

Just as Cyrus was about to speak to powder they both hear somebody screaming "POWDER!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!" The person screaming rounds the corner and Cyrus recognizes who it was.

The one screaming was powders older sister, Violet or Vi as most people call her. Vi looks into the ally and sees Cyrus standing next to Powder who looks scared and screams "GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER YOU BASTARD!!!"

Vi grabs a rock that was laying on the ground next to her and throws it at Cyrus as hard as she can. Cyrus confused as to why Vi is so mad at him catches the rock that was thrown perfectly at his face.

What Cyrus didn't realize was that Vi used the rock as a distraction to close the distance between them, and she is now right next to him. Vi clenches her fist and hurls a punch aimed straight towards Cyrus's face.

Cyrus catches the punch and offhandedly wounders why Vi is so set on hitting him in the face. He throws the thought to the back of his mind as he sees Vi trying to kick him in the crotch.

He finds avoiding this hit the more important part of this unnecessary fight. As he lets go of her fist and with as much strength as he can muster in this moment, backsteps a few feet, ready to continue defending himself.

But before they continue their fight they are interrupted by powder holding Vi's arm and yelling at her "VI, DON'T HURT HIM!" Vi, caught of guard by Powder actually yelling at her, says "NO! He's one of the ones who tried to rob us, and he was trying to hurt you and steal your things!"

As Vi is saying this, she looks around and spots some of the thugs that were chasing them on the ground unconscious. She looks to powder and asks "If he's not with them, who is he and why were you with him?"

Powder, looking at Cyrus tells Vi "I don't know, he just appeared and saved me from these guys. I was about to ask his name before you started fighting for no reason!"

Vi hearing this, feels conflicted as she's never seen this person before but he saved her sister, she knows she was in the wrong this time.

Cyrus, getting board just listening to them talk, takes off his hood and interjects in there conversation and says "Sorry to interrupt but I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Cyrus and I'm new to the city. Its nice to meet you two. Wish it would have been under better circumstances though."

Powder, curious to know more about the one who saved her says "It's nice to meet you Cyrus. My name is powder and this is my sister Vi. Thank you for saving me and I'm sorry about my sister. She sometimes forgets to think before she acts."

Vi grunts in annoyance at that statement.

Powder, finally getting a good look at Cyrus. Sees a young handsome looking boy with darkish white hair and deep purple eyes. From his height, he seemed to be about her age.

Powder realized that if they were the same age she could finally have a friend. Somebody other then her older sister or Vander to talk to.

He already showed an interest in her by saving her. Powder was hopeful that they could be friends. And she was eager to learn more about him.

Powder was curious where Cyrus came from as she has never seen him before "You said that you are new to the city right? Does that mean you don't have a place to stay? As a thank you we could bring you to Vander and he can help you find a place. Or you can stay with us. Only if you want to though."

Powder started to trail off of what she was saying as she started to get embarrassed. It was the first time she had talked to a boy her age other then Echo, who she saw as an annoying brother.

Vi, seeing powder get all red and embarrassed, didn't like it one bit. Not with her precious little sister. 

Cyrus seeing her get flustered smiled at powder, which caused her to feel like there were butterfly's in her stomach. He responded to powders question with "I would absolutely love that Powder, thank you."

Powder, after hearing this, shakes off her embarrassment and grabs his arm. She leads him through the streets of Zaun, their destination, The Last Drop. As they are walking Powder starts asking all sorts of questions like how old he was and what he did for fun.

While this was happening Vi was fallowing them Feeling left out. She understood that she was the one who through the first punch and she wanted to apologize to Cyrus before he starts to dislike her.

As from the way he and Powder interacted he seemed he would be around a lot. As she hasn't seen Powder so happy talking to somebody in along time, that wasn't her or Vander of course.

But she was still annoyed at the fact that her precious little sister Pow-Pow, was still hanging on Cyrus's arm. But what could she do in this situation besides suck it up and follow along.

After a few minuets of walking, they finally make it to the last drop. Powder points and says "That's The Last Drop. It's where we stay with Vander and 2 others but you'll meet them later. Lets go talk to Vander and introduce you to him."

As they were walking in, Cyrus sees a middle aged man with a large build and a beard and instantly knew who it was. Vander, as the caretaker of the under city was the one who you came to if you had a problem.

Powder ran up to the bar where Vander was and started talking to him "Vander, some bad people tried to rob me and Vi while we were out. Luckily Cyrus saved me from the ones who were chasing me! He's so strong, he was able to take out 4 grown adults."

Vander hearing this was both angry and surprised. He didn't think there was anyone who had the balls to go after his kids in the undercity.

The thought of what could have happened made him want to break out his gauntlets for the first time in years.

He was just thankful there was somebody who helped Powder. However, he was confused as to how a kid that looks the same age as Powder was able to take on 4 adults.

Either way, both Powder and Vi were safe and that's all that matters to him in the end. Vander extends his hand to Cyrus and says "Its nice to meet you Cyrus. I don't believe I've seen you in the undercity before?"

Cyrus excepts the handshake and replies "Its nice to finally meet you Vander. Powder was telling me all about the undercity as I'm new to piltover. If I'm remembering correctly she was telling me you are basically the boss of the undercity, correct?"

Vander, hearing this chuckle's "I'm not the boss, but i do have a large degree of influence down here in the undercity. Also I'd like to thank you for helping Powder when she needed it. If there's anything you need, just tell me and I'll see what i can do."

Powder jumped into the conversation saying "Cyrus needs a place to stay. Can he stay here, with us?"

Vander, seeing Powder so exited cant help but agree "If he wants he can stay here. But i don't know how much room we will have with you, Vi, Mylo, and Claggor. Its up to him whether or not he wants to stay here or find another place close by."

Powder looks at Cyrus and pleads "Please say you will stay with us, it'll be so much fun having you here. We can do all sorts of things together, like build stuff, or talk, or i can show you around the undercity. Please say you'll stay?"

Cyrus, watching Powder try and come up with excuses to have him stay though she was acting quite adorable, with her constant ideas as to why he should stay.

Even though he plans to have his residence in his personal dimension, that was for later. For now, he wanted to spend time with Powder and the others before the start of the plot kicks off. 

Cyrus, looking at Powder and says "If you want me to stay so bad then i will. Well, at least until i can get my own place set up."

Powder, Hearing this jumps around in joy. She grabs his arm and says "Ill show you were you will stay."

Vi, annoyed by the fact she was basically ignored, watches them leave then gives Vander a look as if saying 'really?'. Which Vander responds with a shrug and goes back to talking to those at the counter.

Vi rolls her eyes at Vander's actions. She sighs, then following them down to their room.

Powder brings Cyrus to the room they spend most of there time in.

Once she opens the door there are already 2 people in there. Powder looks at one of them and says "That's Claggor, he's the muscles of our group." 

Claggor was on the bigger size for a kid. He had short dark brown hair and goggles on his head.

Powder looked at the other kid in annoyance. He was a decently skinny kid with bushy eyebrows and sliced back hair named Mylo.

Powder didn't seem to like him that much as when she looked a him her smile was replaced with a frown.

When she looked at him all she said was "And that's Mylo."

Both Claggor and Mylo were confused as to who this newcomer was with Powder. Their confusion could be seen on there faces as Powder looked to both of them and said "Mylo, Claggor, this is Cyrus, he will be staying with us for awhile." 

Cyrus, looks to Mylo and Claggor and introduces himself "Hello there, my name is Cyrus and as Powder said before i will be staying with you all until i can find more permanent logging for myself."

As Mylo and Claggor were about to respond Powder grabbed Cyrus's arm and dragged him over to her area.

Vi entered the room right as Cyrus was being dragged over to Powders spot in the room. Mylo walked up to her and asked "So why is this kid staying here?"

Vi spoke while watching both Powder and Cyrus talk to each other "Me and Powder were being chased by some random thugs trying to rob us. Me and Powder go separated, while i was fighting some of them. 4 of them chased after Powder backing her into an ally. Cyrus jumped in and beat them all up saving Powder. As he is new to Piltover, he was in search of a place to stay. So Powder offered him to stay here. Vander said yes so it should be fine."

Mylo understanding what happened got confused "Wait that kid looks Powders age. How did he take out 4 adults?"

Vi responded "I have no idea how he did it. All that matters is that he helped Powder and that he seems to get along with her."

Mylo shrugged, losing interest in the situation and going back to what he was doing before Powder and Cyrus entered.

Claggor, seeing this does the same.

While Vi and Mylo were talking, Powder was showing Cyrus her gadgets and bombs. 

Powder grabbed one of her bombs and said "This ones name is Whisker and this ones mouse and this one-" 

She reaches for one of the grenades and accidentally knocks it over. As its falling to the floor, Cyrus uses his biomass manipulation to create a black tendril and catch the grenade.

Cyrus looks at the grenade and hands it to Powder. 

Powder, seeing a black tendril leave Cyrus and catch the grenade from falling, is momentarily stunned.

She was curios as to what just happened "Umm... Cyrus. What was that?" 

Cyrus hearing the question, responds "That was one of my special power's. One of which i was born with. It allows me to create and absorb biomass to create different things."

As he was explaining, he used his biomass manipulation to create a bunch of different constructs, like sword's and axes.

He also made a bunny to calm her down but to his surprise she wasn't afraid at all. No, she was amazed at what he was doing.

Powder had never seen anything like it before. The tendrils were both fluid and solid at the same time.

Which made no sense to Powder, but she chalked it up to it being apart of Cyrus's power.

Cyrus smiles and curiously asks "Aren't you scared of me now that you know I'm not normal?"

Powder looked at Cyrus innocently "But you haven't done anything wrong? You even saved me from those people. Why would i be afraid of you when you have been nothing but kind to me?"

Cyrus hearing this just smiles and pats Powder on the head.

Powder in response to getting her head pated, gets extremally red and embarrassed. The only ones to ever do that to her were Vi, her sister, and her guardian, Vander.

Vi couldn't handle watching them anymore "Ahem... Powder how about we go show Cyrus around as he is new to the undercity?"

Powder, hearing this gets even more embarrassed.

But she thinks for a moment then she springs up "That's right! We have to give him a tour of the undercity! What are we waiting for, lets go!"

Powder grabs both Cyrus and Vi. For such a small person she was weirdly strong when she wanted to be.

As they are making there way out of The Last Drop Vander spots them and shouts "Be safe and stick together this time"

But they were already out the door before he could finish speaking.

On the tour they show him all sorts of places. Especially places he shouldn't go, like the slums.

They showed him Benzo's shop and tried to introduce him to Echo but Cyrus was not interested as he wasn't that big of a fan of Echo from the show.

They walked the streets for hours until they decided to stop at one of there favorite food places, Jericho's. 

After they ate they went back to The Last Drop to finish off the day. Or at least what the undercity considered the end of the day.

As with piltover building giant structures, Zaun rarely has an natural sun.

Powder, getting ready to go to bed says to Cyrus "I had a lot of fun today, besides the beginning, today was amazing. Goodnight Cyrus and Vi"

Vi replied "Goodnight Pow-Pow."

Cyrus smiled and said "Goodnight Powder."

Cyrus found himself smiling more in this one day then he has in years while he was in his old world.

After everyone went to sleep Cyrus opened his eyes and internally spoke in his mind 'Statues screen'.

<[-----------Home-----------] >

 States screen

 Inventory

 Abilities 

 Dimension

<[----------------------------] >

Cyrus looked at the last option and muttered 'Enter personal dimension' 

As he said those words a portal opened right underneath him. As he was free falling in the void a screen appeared before him.

<[-----------Dimension-----------] >

 Description: A baren void.

 (Chose what your dimension will look like)

<[-----------------------------------] >

Cyrus thought for a moment and said "I want it to be a mountain range with a bunch of waterfalls and i would like there to be a vast forest towards the bottom of the mountains." 

Just as he uttered those words a blinding light appeared. Cyrus covered his eyes, after a few minutes he felt his feet touch ground.

Cyrus opens his eyes and sees an amazing mountain range with beautiful waterfalls that lead into a forest just like he asked.

Just as he was about to explore his new dimension, a screen appeared Infront of him.

<[-----------Dimension-----------] >

 Description: Mountain range with a forest

<[-----------------------------------] >

After Cyrus closed the screen he heard a voice, it was Powder.

He quickly exits the dimension to find Powder right Infront of him. Powder was startled and was about to screen but Cyrus quickly put his hand over her mouth.

Cyrus looks at Powder and says "Its another one of my abilities I'll tell you more later ok. So go back to bed, have a good night Powder" 

Powder being to tired to argue as she just nodes and walks back to her bed and falls asleep.

Cyrus follows suit as he lays down on the couch and drifts off to sleep. Exited for what's to come in the following week leading up to the beginning of the plot.
