First Creation And Augmentation
Cyrus, being extremally uncomfortable hugging Silco thought about removing himself and getting out of the hug.
But he just waved off the idea as Powder was in a delicate state.
As well as it probably being a bad time to voice his opinion or do anything that could set her off.
After a few minuets Powder ended up falling asleep.
Cyrus seeing his chance to escape stood up with Powder in his arms in a princess carry.
Cyrus looked towards Silco and his lackeys that had followed them and asked "What happens now? Because if you try and hurt Powder, I'll kill you all. She's MINE!."
As Cyrus was threatening the lives of those Infront of him, he produced multiple giant tendrils from his upper back.
Each one having a mouth with dozens of razor sharp teeth that gave off the impression that they could chomp there way through steel with ease.
Silco is simple astonished at the unexpected display of ferocity of one so young.
He is also both curious and frightened, as to how Cyrus is producing giant tendrils with mouths from out of his back.
Silco knowing even though he has the numbers if something goes wrong, the child Infront of him could probably kill the lot of them before they even noticed they were dead.
So he raises his hands in surrender to show he doesn't mean any harm "Well... the little one in your arms seemed like she wanted to come with me, if you'll allow that, that is. I swear to you, no harm will befall either of you while you are in my care."
Cyrus just continued to stare at Silco in silence before speaking "We will go with you. But i'm warning you now, if anything happens to Powder, these little cuties will be the least of your problems."
As Cyrus was done speaking, the tendrils had started to bear there teeth towards Silco and his little gang, ready to rip them limb from limb and devour them hole.
Silco, with a serious expression says "Duly noted. Is there anything else i should know before we go, so i don't get eaten?"
Cyrus hearing this laughs to himself and responds "Nothing at the moment, I'll tell you if i think of anything, so don't worry."
Silco nodded his head in understanding and gestures for Cyrus to follow him.
As they are making there way to wherever Silco was taking them, Powder had started to wake up and groggily rubs her eyes "Cyrus? Where are we going?"
Cyrus, with an eerie calm says "Somewhere we can have fun together. So go back to sleep and by the time you wake up, we will have a new place to call home, okey?"
Powder who was still half asleep just slightly nods her head and drifts off back to sleep, nuzzling closer into Cyrus's chest.
After about 20 minutes of walking they had finally made it to there destination.
Silco hade brought them to his underground lab as that was where he was currently staying.
As they entered the main room Cyrus recognized it from the show as well as the large window showing all the enormous sea creatures outside in the ocean.
Silco just pointed to a back room with a large bed "You two can stay in there for the night while i finish what i started."
As Silco said that he turned around and left.
Cyrus seeing Silco leave them alone, turned to go to their room.
Once he walked into the room he laid Powder down on the bed then he went back to the door and locked it.
Seeing Powders sleeping face stained with tears, Cyrus wanted to make her a gift to cheer her up even a little bit.
So he went to a corner of the room and opened a portal to his dimension.
As he entered the portal he walked for a bit and sat down at the edge of a lake enclosed with mountains.
Cyrus thought to open his system and it appeared.

EP: 1010
<[---------------------------------]>
Cyrus seeing the amount he had acuminated thought 'I can work with this.'
As soon as he thought of using Creation, he was pulled into his mind.
It seemed when he uses his main abilities he would be summoned into the depths of his mind to sculpt the product he wanted.
Cyrus started thinking of what would be a good fit for Powder or the soon to be Jinx.
Maybe a bomb? No she was already plenty good at making those herself.
Didn't she use guns as her main weapon.
After a few minutes of brainstorming he finally came up with an idea 'I can make her a weapon that has multiply forms! So she wont be limited in her fighting style in the future'
He made the base form be Jinx's pistol from the show. He also added some abilities for convenance.

<[---------------------------------]>
[Ep cost to create is 760 would you like to proceed yes/no]
(Received a slight discount as the core was already provided and not created from scratch)
Cyrus seeing that he was about to spend a little more then 75 percent of his EP wasn't deterred because he knew Powder would like it.
Once he initialized the creation of Powders future weapon, he felt a large chunk of energy leave his body.
And after a few seconds the pistol was created and appeared out of thin air.
It looked just like the one from the show which made him happy he was able to get the looks right.
Cyrus was feeling weak after its creation so he decide to check his states to see if anything has changed.

<[---------------------------------]>
Cyrus was confused as to why he had a debuff but upon closer inspection it made sense why he felt weak.
He made a mental note to try not to use to much EP if he wasn't assured of his safety.
Since he was already weakened he decide to just use the rest of his EP to get rid of his major weaknesses like his symbionts weakness to sound and fire.
So he activated his augmentation and the same sensation could be felt as he was dragged back into his mindscape.
The process was similar to using creation all he needed to do was think of what he wanted to happen and it would do the finetuning for him.
And after a few seconds a notification popped up.
[Ep cost to augment yourself is 250 would you like to proceed yes/no]
He sighed to himself that he was using all the EP he has acquired but he chose yes anyway.
The moment he confirmed the process he felt a searing pain throughout his body. Cyrus gritted through it as the pain from almost getting his soul shattered was a lot worse by far.
After it was over he didn't really feel different but he instinctively knew he no longer had to fear high frequency sounds or intense flames.
Cyrus who was still sitting by a lake heard something coming from the portal he opened.
He saw Powder walk through the portal and head towards him.
She came up next to him and sat down close enough that there shoulders could touch.
Powder laid her head on his shoulder and said "Vi left me. Are you going to leave me as well?"
Cyrus hearing this turned to look at her and said "I'm not going anywhere, so you can relax. Also i have a surprise for you."
Powder hearing there was a surprise looked at him with expectation.
Cyrus reached into his inventory and took out Zapper and handed it to Powder.
The moment Powder saw the gun she lit up with excitement, well, as much excitement as a broken little girl could.
Cyrus looked at the gun and said "All that's left is to drop some of your blood on it and it will be bound to you for life. It will be your partner in crime, well, except for me that is."
Cyrus took Powders hand and gently pricked her pointer finger with a small tendril he created to draw some of her blood.
Powder quickly dropped some blood on the gun and it glowed blue and purple for a moment before the light started dying down.
Seeing Powders eagerness to try out the gun Cyrus quickly told her the guns features "That gun is very special. It can transform into other weapons. As well as be stored in your soul, so you can take it anywhere and it will always be with you."
Cyrus continued to explain the functions of the gun to Powder for another five to ten minutes before Powder jumped into Cyrus's arms saying "Thank you." over and over again.
Powder removed herself from Cyrus's arms after spending awhile like that.
She no longer felt as embarrassed as she used to, as she now only truly trusted Cyrus after her sisters betrayal.
Powder willed Zapper to go into storage and it disappeared from her hand. But what didn't disappear was the smile on her face.
Powder wondering where were they in the other world asks Cyrus "Umm, Cyrus? where are we and who's bed did i wake up in?"
Cyrus hearing this smiled at Powders question and responded "Do you remember the guy from before, he's who we are with currently and we will most likely stay for the foreseeable future. If that's fine with you?"
Powder remembering that night and got sad again but this time she didn't start crying she just looked really sad.
But she did remember the man from before the one who said that they will show them all together.
She nodded and said "That's fine, he seems nice."
Cyrus held back his laughter as she was describing the supposed main villain as nice.
Cyrus just looked at Powder and said back "Yeah, nice."
Powder was confused but shock her head and continued talking to Cyrus about what happened and how she had caused the explosion that ended up killed almost everyone.
Powder wasn't able to stop herself from crying this time.
As she was crying most of the time they talked, a lot of emotions came out of her which in the end mad her feel better after getting it all out.
They talked for hours until Cyrus got a notification.
[Creators weakness is now lifted]
Cyrus checked his stats and they were back to normal with a bit of surprise.

<[---------------------------------]>
It seems that there aren't only downside to contracting Creators weakness like he thought.
Cyrus feeling rejuvenated and stronger then ever in his base form, started to test out his new strength.
It was a solid 50 percent increase in his stats across the board, witch he was happy about.
As they both left the dimension they noticed not as mush time had passed here then in the dimension.
Cyrus was curious as to how much the time discrepancy was but as he was about to go and find out Silco came back.
Silco seeing Powder awake walked over and said "How are you doing little girl? i Saw that you were exhausted when that young man was carrying you and laying you on the bed."
Powder hearing this turned slightly red and said in retaliation "I don't know what your talking about."
Silco hearing this smirked and continued talking "Well what do you want to do? Would you like to stay and help me build the empire of Zaun or would you like to leave."
Powder hearing this looked at Cyrus. Cyrus gave her a reassuring nod.
She looked back to Silco and said "I want to help build this empire you were talking about and i want to show my sister she was wrong to abandon me and Cyrus."
Silco just looked at the young girl Infront of him and couldn't help but see himself in her.
Silco took a second to think and them said "Then you two will be my enforcers. The enforcers of Zaun, you will out class Piltover's finest and you shall rule by my side. How does that sound?"
Cyrus walked up besides Powder and said "Its up to you Powder. You decide on our course of action."
Powder for the first time gave a sadistic smile and said "Lets burn them all!"
