Jared watched as the guards held the spears at him. There was six in all. Five held the spears while one stood off to the side. The side guard had different armor than the rest.

Jared heard a noise from behind. He turned to see the guards that chased him running down the hall. They stopped once they saw that he was caught. Jared glared at the ponies with spears.

He noticed that the guard on the far right had a bandage on his head. Jared looked at his footing. He was standing in a unbalanced position.

"Captain, what do you want us to do with him?", said the injured guard. He turned his head to look at the guard on the side.

At that instant, Jared stood on his back legs and swung one up, knocking the shaft of the spear into the others. He stepped forward and elbowed the guard in the head. The guard fell unconscious releasing his grip on the spear. Jared took the spun, spear on hand, and broke the blade tip across the back of the guard next to him, knocking him out.

He heard the guards from behind charging after him. He turned around and held his makeshift boa-staff in battle ready position.

"I'll kill you for what you did to my friend!", yelled a voice from behind.

Jared fell onto his "hands and knees" just in time to avoid a spear. He pushed off of his hands and swung his legs around. His legs collided with the shaft of the spear and snapped it in two.

He followed up by bashing the guard in the head with his staff. He heard a crack and knew that it would break next time he hit someone with that end. The guard fell on his back holding his face. Jared dived over him to get more room. Just in time to because the place he was just at was surrounded with guards.

He sensed someone behind him. He fell back and through his staff up to block the incoming spear. The blade of the spear landed right in middle of his staff, nearly breaking it. Jared head butted the attacker and flipped behind him.

A quick second to examine the staff told Jared that it was barley holding together. He broke it over his knee and grabbed the two halves.

He saw a spear head swinging down on him out of the corner of his eye. He through the half of the staff out and got it lodged in the head. He pulled the spear forward and through his elbow into the guards head.

He turned to see more guards come at him. Where do they keep coming from?, he asked himself.

They surrounded him, on the ground and in the air, spears pointed at him. Jared dropped his staff parts and fell to his knees. He was to exhausted to fight anymore.

He felt something digging into his side. He looked and saw the bag that he had the books in. His eyes widened.

The book! Of course!, he thought to himself.

"So you've decided to give up?", asked the guard in different armor that the others.

"Not quite yet.", Jared said grinning.

He closed his eyes and his horn began to glow orange. He curled up into a ball. All the guards braced themselves, prepared to strike. The orange glow spread to his entire body.Flames appeared out of nowhere and started to incase Jared in a ball.

"Men, run!", screamed the guard turning away.

The guards dropped they're weapons and ran towards the exit. Jared just sat there in the floating orb of flames. The guards were almost out when a wall of fire blocked they're way. They turned to Jared and braced themselves. Jared slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened them, the ball of fire that surrounded him exploded into a fury of flames. The intier room was subjected to the blazing Inferno. When the flames subsided, Jared was standing in the middle of the room, a fresh boa in hand. He looked around. Although the room itself was undamaged, the guards on the other hand were on worse conditions.

At the base of the exit was the captain curled into a ball holding stomachs. Jared walked over to him and looked down at him. The guard looked up, wincing in pain.

"Who-who are you?", the guard asked feebly.

Jared thought to himself, I don't want them knowing my real name. He looked back down at the guard.

"I am The Burninator .", Jared said.

He then knocked him out. Jared looked at his surroundings. He was in a large room with several doors and hallways leading out of it. He didn't get a good look at the room earlier. On the other end of the room was three large windows.

Jared looked out them to see that he was on the side with a sheer drop. When he looked forward he saw the landscape of the area. Jared nodded his head in approval. He had never seen any type of terrain like this before. Closest to him was the Everfree forest and Ponyville.

Beyond that were mountains, deserts, lakes, and a volcano. He's seen them before, but not as one biome.

Just then he heard a loud bang. He looked up and saw a giant circular rainbow. He was too distracted by the rainbow to hear the sounds from behind him.

More guards had come to help and had noticed him. They charged and screamed in rage of what he had done. Jared heard their screams and turned.

"Are you fucking kidding me", he said aloud, "How many of you bastards are there."

He couldn't fight them, he was to worn out, but nor could he escape through one of the doors fast enough. Panicking, Jared did the only thing he could do. He jumped.
