A young 14 year old boy by the name of, Gyro Gurlukovich was on his way to Afghanistan to see a family friend with his two parents, Vera Gurlukovich, and Max Gurlukovich. Gyro grunted in annoyance as the plane came to the strip, he hated riding on planes for he would get sick sometimes riding. The plane made a smooth landing as the pilot spoke on the intercom.

“Welcome to Afghanistan passengers, we will come to the port in a few seconds, So please stay seated,” the pilot spoke through the intercom. Gyro looked over to his parents, his mother was reading a novel but his father was rubbing his knuckles. Gyro pushed the action aside as the bell rang for the passengers to grab their luggage.

“Are you excited to see Naomi again Gyro?” his mother asked him with her usual calm look. Gyro only replied with a nod of his head as he grabbed his suitcase. His father grabbed his own briefcase and exited into the walkway. Gyro followed his parents into the crowded airport and felt uneasy. His mother looked at him with a concerned look and asked.

“What's wrong son, are you sick?” his mother asked him as she wrapped him into a hug.

“No I’m not sick mom, but dad said Russians are hated here in Afghanistan.” Gyro responded with a frown. His mother sighed as she shot a glare toward her husband.

“We spoke about this before we left Max.” his mother said bluntly toward his father. Gyro’s father grunted in annoyance and turned toward his mother with a serious look on his face.

“The boy is growing into a young man Vera, i will not let him go on in life without knowing the truth!” his father responded with anger plastered on his face. His father turned and walked down the large hallway to the escalator. Gyro sighed as there is no reasoning with his father, for he is as stubborn as a rock. Gyro followed his mother and father once again as they reached the exit of the airport. Gyro took his time to scout the landscape, it was in a desert climate as he turned his vision away from the scorching sun. Gyro heard a faint voice calling his name in the distance, he turned his head and found his friend Naomi step out from a cab with her mother as they waved. He smiled as he called out to her.

“Hey Naomi!!!” he yelled to her as she walked closer. Naomi came up to Gyro and gave him a gentle hug. Gyro returned the hug as his mother pushed her hands together and making a kissing face  trying to embarrass him, but his father gave him an angry glare in disapproval. Gyro broke the hug and smiled at Naomi as she spoke.

“It’s great to see you again Gyro, how is Moscow?” Naomi asked him with her fake confused look as she already knew the answer.

“You know, super cold it will freeze your hands off.” Gyro said as he chuckled. Naomi smiled at him as she took his hand and led him to the cab.

“Come on you know you still owe my brother a rematch.” Naomi said as she playfully shoved Gyro forward toward the cab. Gyro laughed as he placed his bags inside the trunk, he waited for his mother and father to enter and took his seat as the last. The cab started it’s way toward the exit of the airport with a type of fast speed, but manageable.

“So Naomi, how have you been?” Gyro’s mother asked with a curious look on her face. Naomi only shook her hands in a so-so manner and shrugged.

"I've been okay Miss Gurlukavich, but my house in closer to the outskirts of town so the drive may take a tad longer than normal." Naomi said as she looked out the window of the cab.

*A half hour later*

“We’re here!” Naomi exclaimed as she shook Gyro from his sleep. Gyro sat up and shook his head as he was completely awake as he opened the door. He stepped out and held his hound out for Naomi.

“Thanks Gyro, such a gentleman.” Naomi said as she planted a kiss on Gyro’s cheek. Gyro blushed as he placed his hand on the spot where she kissed him. His mother gave him a pat on the back while his father shook his head. They retrieved their bags and headed toward Naomi’s house and waited for Naomi’s mother to open it.

“Make yourselves at home.” Naomi’s mother said as she opened the door. Gyro and his parents entered the household as it was filled with party decorations and plenty of food, Gyro places his bags on the wall and took his shoes off.  Gyro walked over to the table to grab a paper plate until he was put in a headlock by Naomi’s brother Jameson.

“You still owe me that rematch Gyro” Jameson said as he playfully squeezed Gyro’s neck. Gyro tapped Jameson’s shoulder in defeat as he was released. Gyro rubbed his neck in irritation as he shot Jameson a glare.

“You squeeze too damn hard, you could have snapped my neck for real!” Gyro said angrily. Jameson just shrugged and grabbed a plate for the kitchen, Gyro liked hanging out with James but sometimes he can get carried away. Gyro rubbed his neck a final time before he went to grab a plate himself, Gyro piled his plate with roasted chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes and took a seat outside on the front porch and dug into his food.

*3 hours later*

It was the late afternoon and Gyro moved from the porch to the sidewalk about 20 feet away. He sat there thinking to himself not wanting to interact with anyone right now, he sat there rubbing his knuckles in boredom until he heard Naomi call out to him.

“Why are you standing out there on the street Gyro, come in and have fun WOO!!!!” Naomi shouted to Gyro in joy from her bedroom window. Gyro smiled at his friends optimism, Gyro stood up and began walking toward her house but stopped in his tracks as he heard as whizzing sound. He turned around to find a missile headed straight for him, Gyro jumped to the side and covered his head as the missile flew by, but he wished he just took the hit as he looked up just in time to see Naomi’s house explode into smoke and debris. Gyro screamed in sadness as he saw his friends and family just vanish before his eyes, Gyro heard footsteps behind him and turned to find a man dressed like a terrorist approach him. The man was two feet away from him as he took out a pistol, the man aimed the weapon at Gyro’s head as he cried. Gyro looked at the man and cried even more knowing he was gonna die, but the terrorist was shot in the chest multiple times from behind Gyro and he fell to the floor in a pool of blood.

Gyro felt himself being pulled by multiple hands and was pushed behind a large wall, he looked up to find men more military looking than a terrorist to Gyro, one of the men looked Gyro in the eye with a look that could kill lions where they stood and spoke to him in a gruff voice.

“Next time kid, if you see a man that looks like a terrorist, run the hell away.” The man said to Gyro as he stood up and poked his head around the corner, the man pulled back quickly as a bullet crashed through the wall behind him in rapid speeds.

“shit, Mike you lay down covering fire while Rick finds a way to flank them, i’ll take care of the kid.” The man said as he gave the order to the other two. The man grabbed Gyro by the arm and handed him a AK74u sub-machine gun and showed him in a forced way on how to use a gun.

“Here kid, you point this at one of those bad men, and pull the trigger to make it go bang. When you hear a click you put this in there.” the man said as he pulled out another magazine for the SMG and handed it to him. Gyro nervously took the clip and shoved it into his pocket, he looked around the corner and seen the other two men shooting the terrorist in the heat of battle. Gyro seen a terrorist behind one of the two men armed with a knife ready to strike, time seemed to slow down for Gyro as he looked through the iron sights and slowly pulled the trigger.

The bullet blasted from the barrel and went straight through the man's torso like a hot knife cutting butter, the terrorist hit the floor in agony as he yelled. The man turned and shot the terrorist in the brain killing him, The first man patted Gyro on the back with a grin on his face.

“Nice save kid, congrats on your first assist now lets finish off these clowns.” The man said as he came up from cover and started shooting. Gyro waited behind the wall and breathed deeply as the three men killed the rest of the terrorists, Gyro stood up as he heard no more gunshots and explosions and slowly walked to the remains of Naomi’s house. He reached the ruins of the ruined house and hung his head low, he began to remember all the good times he spent with his mother while his father worked in the Ukraine with his Comrades. Gyro felt a hand touch his shoulder and looked up, the same man that saved him had a look of grief on his face as he spoke.

“I’m deeply sorry for your loss kid, but moping all day is not gonna bring them back, war is a terrible thing. But these terrorist are causing this pain you feel now, welcome to the Afghanistan Rebels kid. now come on we have a war to fight.” the man said as he turned around and walked toward the other two men named Mike and Rick. Gyro turned also to follow them, but he looked back toward the house and spoke to himself.

"Death is the final unknown"

Little did he know, a powerful being was watching him from a distant world known as.... Equestria

The Fire Within

June, 4th, 2011

It has been 2 years since Gyro joined the Afghan Rebels, but the memories of that unfortunate night became more and more painful by the day. His commander Derek Thompson became concerned about how Gyro acted when he was in battle. Derek monitored Gyro’s behavior and might have found a solution just for him only, he approached Gyro while the teen was checking his ammunition.

“Gyro, front and center.” Derek said to Gyro as he stood up and saluted in front of him. Gyro said nothing as Derek glared at him, Derek sighed and pulled out his laptop from his bag and sat down on Gyro’s bunk. Derek motioned his hand next to him for Gyro to sit down, Gyro took a seat next to Derek with a confused look on his face.

“What is it sir?” Gyro asked as he stared at his commanders laptop screen. His commander said nothing as he pulled up YouTube, and typed in “My little pony friendship is magic” Gyro looked at the screen in confusion and asked.

“What is this show about sir?” Gyro asked his commander as he pressed the play button.

“Just sit here and watch 2 episodes then report on what you observed.” Derek said to Gyro as he exited the room and into his office. Gyro stared at the screen as the show begin, the title said “The Mare in the Moon”

*1 hour later, 4:45 pm*

Gyro felt nothing but pure bliss and happiness as the second episode came to an end, somehow this show made his grief and depression fade away for the time as the show played. All of the characters brought joy to his dark shattered heart inside him, one of the characters made him pay attention even more to the show, the characters name was “Princess Celestia”. Gyro kept thinking about the princess in how she handles things, she is very serious but at the same time, she is caring for her subjects. Gyro stood up and carried the laptop back to his commander and knocked on his office door. His commander opened the door with a blank expression and let Gyro in, they both sat down as Derek pressed his hands together and glared at Gyro.

“Now Gyro, what have you learned?” Derek asked him as he leaned back in his chair. Gyro gave a brief description of the events, characters, and background of the show and it’s features, Derek was stunned as someone as cold hearted as Gyro wore a smile on his face as he talked about the show. Derek smiled to himself as he got Gyro to stop thinking about his vendetta against the Taliban, but that thought was short lived as the phone next to him rang. Derek picked up the phone and listened.

“Is this Derek Thompson?” the man on the phone questioned.

“This is Derek, what do you need?” Derek asked the anonymous caller on the other end.

“Al-Bashir is 2.5 miles away from your location, he is suspected of harboring a nuclear bomb in his van. If you hurry you’ll be able to kill him” the caller said as he hung up.

Derek turned to find Gyro already shouldering his SVD with a sadistic smile on his face. Derek pointed to the door and Gyro rushed out to the jeep parked outside, Derek sighed as this was gonna be the same thing over again.

Gyro hopped inside the drivers seat and checked his weapons, he had a AK74u with 5 mags, MP443 9mm with 4 mags, a recon knife, and his trusty SVD with 6 mags and 12x scope. Gyro took out his recon knife and scratched on the side of his SVD, “Celestia’s SVD of the sun” and strapped it to his back. Gyro put the jeep in drive and speeded off toward Al-Bashir's position.

On the way Gyro started to think about Celestia and her peaceful land of Equestria, he thought to himself as can he ever go to the land of the pastel colored ponies and finally live in peace. But his thoughts were interrupted as he entered a burning town, smoke filled the air as gunshots echoed the streets, innocent civilians ran for their lives but were gunned down, Gyro felt rage beginning to build up inside of him, as he jumped out of the jeep and loaded his AK.

Gyro stuck to the shadows and observed small groups of Taliban roam the towns streets, their rags covering the faces except for their eyes. Gyro spotted a lone Taliban smoking a cigar on the corner of an alley, Gyro moved silently behind the terrorist and unsheathed his knife. Gyro put his hand over the mans mouth and drove his knife into the mans neck, blood poured from the man's wound as he slowly collapsed onto the dirt.

Gyro dropped the body and dragged it toward a cover spot, he searched the body for ammunition but only took 2 extra mags. Gyro sighed and stood up, he continued his search for Al-bashir but needed more space. Gyro looked to his left and spotted a building he could take a sniper position from the roof. Gyro shouldered his AK and slowly walked toward the building keeping his eyes on the streets by him. Gyro put his hand on the knob and turned, the door would not budge so he thrusted his foot forward and kicked the door open. Gyro looked back to see if any Taliban were nearby, Two Taliban started shooting from his left as dirt kicked up from the ground into his face.

Gyro rushed into the building and raced up the steps as more Taliban came in after him, Gyro turned and emptied his entire clip on the rushing Taliban coming up the staircase. Gyro took cover as he inserted another magazine into his AK, he ran up two more flights up steps and shoulder rammed a door. The door slammed open and Gyro was on the roof of the building, he turned and closed the door locking it. Gyro was on a time limit and needed to find Al-Bashir fast, he laid prone and looked through his SVD scope, searching the burning town. Gyro smiled devilishly as Al-Bashir was in the town square giving a speech to his Taliban, the SVD became heavy as Gyro held his breath, his finger slowly pulling the trigger. The sniper kicked with recoil as the round left the barrel and speeded towards Al-Bashir, Gyro seen Al-Bashir’s collapse onto the dirt as his blood poured out of his pierced skull. The Taliban on the ground started to react and Gyro stood up and took out his MP443 and walked to the door behind him and opened it.

Gyro ran down the steps with his pistol up, he made it to the bottom and rushed out onto the street. Bullets starting hitting the dirt where he stood, Gyro rushed to a nearby wall and took out his AK. Gyro started to blind-fire as there was no way he could aim without getting hit, he ran forward to where he parked the jeep and a bullet zoomed past his cheek, slightly cutting it. Gyro hopped into the jeep and started the ignition, he put the jeep in reverse and backed out, hitting a Taliban in the process he drove off toward his small base and ducked his head slightly as more bullets flew passed his head.

Gyro pulled up to his base but what he saw made him stare in horror, the base was set ablaze and his rebel comrades were falling to the dirt covered in flames. Gyro jumped out and rushed inside as the flames grew a piece a flaming wood slammed into his shoulder, he grunted as the wood collided but the fire did not burn him, it actually felt normal to him. Gyro ran toward Derek's office and kicked open the door, Gyro looked everywhere around the office and screamed.

“DEREK!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?” Gyro yelled as he seen a hand creep over the desk. Gyro jumped over the desk and seen Derek’s head bleeding furiously, Derek tried to speak but Gyro picked him up and slung him over his shoulder. Gyro rushed out of the base as the building bursted into a flame of destruction, Gyro placed Derek onto the ground and gritted his teeth as it was too late. Gyro laid Derek onto the sand and closed his eyes in a suffocating silence. Gyro heard guns cocking behind him and a cocky voice.

“You think you could kill me that easily? I knew you rebels would try to kill me, so i sent a double in my place.” the man said with an evil chuckle.

“So your alive Al-Bashir.” Gyro said bluntly toward the terrorist.

Al-Bashir smiled, “That's right kid, and you are gonna die just like your little commander.” Al-Bashir said with more laughter in his voice. The Taliban soldiers aimed their weapons at Gyro and and waited for their order. Gyro felt nothing but rage as he stood, his breath became hot, his pupils changed, and his teeth were razor sharp. Gyro turned and yelled.

“I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!” Gyro yelled as he breathed in and spewed flames from his mouth, scorching the Taliban soldiers. Gyro seen the soldiers scream as their skin melted, their eyes bursting to a flame, and their muscles roasting inside of their body’s. Gyro walked toward Al-Bashir with his knife clenched in his fist. Al-Bashir cowered in fear as he offered Gyro many things.

“Please, spare me!! You want power? I can give it to you, you want woman? I got it, money? I have it, just please don’t kill me!!!” Al-Bashir begged as Gyro stood over him as flames came out of Gyro’s nose. Gyro Glared at Al-Bashir and readied his knife, he drove the knife into Al-Bashir's gut and twisted it. Al-Bashir coughed up blood as he stared at him, Gyro stood back up and spoke to the terrorist.

“Burn in hell” Gyro said as he spewed more fire onto Al-Bashir, his screams echoed through the desert as his skin turned to ash and blew in the wind. Gyro walked back to Derek's body and sat down, he looked at his commanders lifeless body and smiled.

“Mission accomplished sir, rest in peace” Gyro said as he gave one last salute to his dead commander and lowered his head. “Dear Celestia, please take me away.” Gyro said as he fell onto his back and stared at the setting sun. Gyro spotted a rising white light in the sky as it grew bigger, the light grew so massive, it blinded Gyro as it pierced his eyelids. Gyro fell unconscious as his wish was about to come true.

Friendship maybe magic

Everfree Forest, 6:50 PM

Gyro opened his eyes as he felt he was on hard dirt, he sat up and rubbed his head in pain as it throbbed. Gyro shook his head as his vision became fuzzy, he closed his eyes once more and exhaled. Gyro felt his breath became hotter as he remembered what he did before falling unconscious, he remembered killing Al-Bashir and his Taliban by.... breathing fire? Gyro never knew he could do that, he began to think about how he could breathe fire. His inner monologue was interrupted as something slammed into his chest, knocking the wind out of him as he slid a few feet.

Gyro recovered quickly as he stood up, he looked forward at his attacker and he went wide-eyed. Gyro was staring at pony wearing golden armor and a helmet, he knew where he seen that before and looked up. There in front of Gyro was Canterlot castle, Gyro smiled with joy as his wish came true, but he has rammed in the chest once again as he fell to the floor. The guard pony yelled toward Gyro.

“Beast, you are under arrest in the name of the Royal Guard, do not resist or i shall use lethal force!” the guard yelled as he charged up his horn. Gyro began to feel hot once more as he recovered, Gyro did not want to harm the pony, but he wanted to give him a scare. Gyro spewed fire near the pony’s hooves, scorching the ground in front of the guard. The flame’s turned the dirt into a deathly black color as the pony fell on it’s back, clearly scared. Gyro walked up to the pony and stared the pony down as he spoke.

“I’m not here to hurt you, but i will come peacefully, i’m a friend” Gyro said to the guard pony as he stuck out his hand to help the pony up. The guard pony slowly stuck out it’s hoof as Gyro gently grabbed it and pulled. The guard pony stood there in confusion as Gyro spared him, even though he attacked Gyro first, he still did not harm him. The guard pony regained his posture and spoke more friendly to Gyro.

“Now, will you please come with me, and for safety i need to put you in chains so you don’t pose as a threat” the guard pony asked Gyro as he levitated some chains to wrap around Gyro’s arms. Gyro held out his hands as the chains wrapped around them with a click, the guard pony grabbed onto the chain with his magic and walked forward, Gyro moved in rhythm with the pony as they walked up to the golden gates where two more Royal Guards stood.

“Now don’t say anything, they will call more guards in if they think i cannot handle you” the guard pony said as he yanked the chains, causing Gyro to jerk forward a little. They reached the gate and the guards blocked their paths with steel spears.

“Wind shaker, what is this monster you have brought forth to the castle gate?” the guard questioned him as he glared at Gyro.

“This being i have in full restriction Flame Seeker, i shall take him forth to the Princess for further knowledge.” Wind Shaker said to his fellow guard. The two guards nodded their heads and opened the gate to let them both into the castle grounds. Wind Shaker stopped to get a good look at Gyro and was very confused. To Wind Shaker, Gyro had a dark yellow tail but he had no fur except for some on the top of his head. He asked Gyro in confusion.

“Are you a Dragon  that has no scales?” Shaker asked Gyro in complete confusion. Gyro raised an eyebrow in confusion as well to Shaker’s question. Gyro was about to reply until he felt something tug at his tail bone, Gyro turned to find a tail attached to his body and it was wagging. Gyro held back a scream of horror and looked toward Wind Shaker.

“Where i come from, my species don’t have tails!” Gyro yelled in confusion on why he had a tail. Wind Shaker face hoofed and yanked the chains, bringing Gyro to the ground. Gyro looked up in annoyance as Wind Shaker laughed at his misfortune and walked forward, Gyro received many glances from the guards and staff of the castle, angry glances, confused glances, scared glances, and one happy glance from one pony. Gyro looked around as he was being escorted to the throne room, he looked in awe as the majestic concrete work of the castle stunned him, he mentally cheered as he was in the land of Equestria, better yet he was going to meet his favorite pony, Princess Celestia.

Stuck in his daydream, his face collided with the door with a thud. While Wind Shaker laughed, Gyro breathed in and spewed fire onto the door, burning a hole into it. Wind Shaker stopped laughing and glared at Gyro.

“What the hay man!” Wind said angrily as he opened the doors to the throne room. In front of Gyro and Wind, was Princess Celestia staring at them both with the royal facade. Wind bowed to her in the utmost respect, Celestia smiled at Wind but turned her vision over to Gyro.

“Wind Shaker, who is this being you have brought forth?” She asked her guard, she felt something was familiar of the being she was looking at. Wind Shaker stood up.

“I do not know of his name Princess, but he seems to be a being who can breathe fire like a dragon.” Wind reported to his Princess. Celestia nodded and asked Gyro.

“What is your name?” Celestia asked Gyro in interest. Gyro took a deep breath, trying not breathe fire but it seems that he can only do that when he is angry.

“Gyro Gurlukovich, your highness” Gyro said with his emotionless look. Celestia gasped in remembrance, this was the boy she stumbled upon looking while doing astronomy in her chambers, this was that lonely boy who lived on a planet of war and despair, this was that poor broken soul. Celestia looked to her guard.

“Wind Shaker, you are dismissed.” she said to her guard as he released the chains and walked out, leaving them alone. Celestia stared at Gyro as he rubbed his hands in discomfort.  She stepped off of her throne and stood in front of Gyro with a motherly smile while Gyro just returned the stare without a smile.

“Do you know who i am?” she asked Gyro with a smile. Gyro replied with a nod of his head, Celestia slowly wrapped her wing around Gyro and brought him into a gentle hug. Gyro did not know how to react so he only stood there in confusion, Celestia felt Gyro’s tension and asked.

“I know you have not received a hug since your friend Naomi last gave you one right?” she asked Gyro as she still had him wrapped in a hug.

“Yes, b-but how did you know?” Gyro asked the sun goddess still confused. Celestia smiled and hugged tighter, squeezing a little air from him.

“I watched you for some time, and i felt so sad because you never had a friend for 2 years, so i had to watch over you.” she said to him as she squeezed harder. Gyro felt like he was suffocating as he tapped Celestia’s shoulder, Celestia felt his tapping and released him as she giggled from embarrassment.

“Uh sorry” she said as Gyro started to regain his normal breathing rate. Celestia regained her posture and walked passed Gyro to the door and inspected the burnt hole.

“Did you burn a hole through my beloved door?” she asked Gyro with a small smirk on her face. Gyro only rubbed the back of his head in shame.

“Sorry Princess, i need to learn how to control my anger” Gyro said as he properly bowed this time.Celestia kept her smile and opened the door, Wind Shaker immediately was front and center waiting for his orders.

“Your highness?” Wind saluted at the smiling princess.

“Wind Shaker, i need you to escort him to the guest chambers” Celestia asked her guard as he nodded. Wind Shaker tilted his head for Gyro to follow, Gyro and Wind walked down the golden hallway in utter silence. Gyro started to get bored so he tried to strike up a conversation.

“Soooo, how is it being a guard?” Gyro asked as they walked toward the guest room.

“Boring. but it keeps the civilians safe.” Wind responded with a frown.

“Now what are those contraptions on your back, some sort of bow?” Wind asked Gyro as he stared at Gyro’s weapons. Gyro put his hand onto his back and felt metal, Gyro found he still had his weapons on him and he didn’t notice. Gyro groaned as he face-palmed, they reached the guest room and opened the doors. Gyro basked in the appearance of the room, everything was beautiful, the bed was huge, the bathroom was exotic, and the entire ceiling looked like it was made by a god of crafting.

“You still haven’t answered my question” Wind Shaker said with a frown. Gyro turned his head as he wore a smirk, he cracked his knuckles and yawned.

“Maybe later, after my nap.” Gyro said as he dove into the king sized bed before him. Wind Shaker sighed and closed the door with his magic, leaving Gyro to sleep.

*Wind Shaker’s POV* : He seems suspicious, i don’t trust him one bit, Wind Shaker thought to himself as he walked back toward the cafeteria. Wind walked through the doors as he was greeted by a fellow guard.

“Hey Wind, how’s it going with that thing?” his friend asked him about Gyro from earlier. Wind only smiled as he went to the line to grab his tray, he entered the line and grabbed his lunch with the usual but with a new side. He sat down next to his friends on the left side of the cafeteria.

“Wow, they’re serving Hay Fries now, finally something good on the menu.” Wind Shakers friend sitting next to him smiled as he ate his food.

“You always complain about everything Shadow Wing.” Wind playfully said as he patted his friend on the back. Shadow Wing groaned as he ate his food, Wind smiled as he started to annoy his friend. Wind sat there chatting away until another guard tapped him on his shoulder.

“Wind Shaker?” the guard asked with the trademark stare.

“Yes Sir” Wind responded as he finished his lunch.

“The Princess needs you ASAP” the guard said as he walked off. Wind picked up his plate with his magic and trashed it, he walked back toward the throne room were Celestia was waiting. He opened the doors and saluted to his Princess.

“Your highness, you requested me?” Wind asked as he kept his hoof up to his forehead.

“Yes, I need you to be Gyro’s escort because i will send you both to my students library immediately." Celestia said with a smile. Wind Shaker nodded and proceeded toward Gyro’s room.

*Gyro’s POV*: Gyro quietly rested in his new bed, usual he would sleep outside on the hard sand in afternoon, but this was 10x better for him. Gyro’s ear twitched as he heard his door open and lifted his head to look.

“Who’s there?” he asked as a guard walked in.

“It’s me Wind Shaker, get up so we can leave” Wind said with a frown.

“Where?” Gyro questioned as he jumped out of bed but tripping over his tail in the process.

“You will see in time now come” Wind said as Gyro followed him out the door. Gyro and Wind walked out to the front entrance and was greeted by a carriage. Gyro and Wind sat inside the carriage as it took off, Gyro started to stare at a tattoo that Wind had and asked about it.

“What kind of tattoo is that?” Gyro asked as he poked it.

“Hey, don’t do that!” Wind said as he grabbed his flank.

“That’s my Cutie Mark if you were asking” Wind said annoyed. Gyro only shrugged as he started to breath a small flame into his hands, the flame morphed into a ball and started to swirl rapidly.

“Hey what are you d-” Wind Started but the flame exploded into a flash. Wind opened his eyes and found two stips of hair on the seat, Wind put his hoof to his forehead and screamed.

“What the Hay, you burned off my eyebrows!!” Wind yelled at Gyro who only laughed. Wind sighed as this was going to be a long day.

*Celestia’s POV*:  To my Dearest student, Twilight Sparkle, I have sent a guard to your library and he should arrive in 20 mins, but with him is a being you have never seen before, i hope he will be nice to you and your friends. Write me a report of his actions, and his name is Gyro Gurlukovich.  Your Teacher, Princess Celestia.

Chains Of The Elemental

Gyro sighed as the carriage ride came to a stop, he liked the calming view of the sky that was before him. He looked to his right and saw Wind Shaker trying to put his eyebrows back on his forehead. Gyro chuckled as he stepped out of the carriage and stretched, Wind followed him out but tried to get a closer look at Gyro’s weaponry. Gyro turned around and glared at Wind.

“What are you doing?” Gyro asked Wind as his escort was completely staring into space. Wind shook himself and coughed, Wind pointed a hoof to a large tree 100 yards away from their location.

“We go there, but stay behind me so the civilians won’t freak out.” Wind said to Gyro as he walked forward. Gyro shrugged as he followed Wind, but in the back of his mind, he felt something was watching him. Gyro dismissed the thought as Wind stuck out his hoof to stop Gyro in his tracks.

“Don’t want you burning more holes into walls, now do we?” Wind Shaker asked Gyro as he laid on the heavy sarcasm. Gyro only blew a small cloud of smoke from his nostrils in annoyance, he started to learn more and more how to use his fire breathing, but he felt something was missing. Wind Shaker knocked on the door to the large tree and waited, not moments later did the door opened revealing a small purple dragon.

“Hello, who are you?” the small dragon asked Wind in confusion on why he was here.

“I am Wind Shaker, the Princess sent me as a escort for the being known as Gyro. Wind responded with a slightly angry look, he was still mad at Gyro for burning his eyebrows off, but his job came first. The small dragon face-clawed as he pulled out a scroll and opened it, but as he read it a feminine voice called out.

“Spiiiiiike!!! Who’s at the door!?” the voice shouted as it came closer. The small dragon sighed as he rolled up the scroll and looked back.

“A Royal guard is here with the one Celestia talked about” Spike responded with a annoyance. Gyro smiled on the inside as he was about to meet Twilight Sparkle his favorite pony’s student in magic. Spike looked behind Wind and dropped the scroll in his hands, what he was staring at was something he never seen before, of course he thought Gyro was an odd name but this in front of him, was crazy! Spike dashed behind Twilight and held her leg in fear.

“Twilight, w-what is that thing?” Spike asked her as he cowered in fear. Twilight’s eye’s widened when she seen Gyro but not in fear, but in curiosity. Gyro seen the look Twilight was giving and raised an eyebrow as she just approached him.

“What are you?” Twilight asked Gyro as she circled him, getting his every feature.

“A human” Gyro calmly replied as she inspected him.  Twilight put a hoof to her chin as she thought, she grabbed Gyro’s tail and gave in a small yank, gaining a gasp from Gyro as he grabbed it.

“Don’t do that!” Gyro said to Twilight, confused as why she pulled his tail. Twilight became even more curious as she started asking Gyro different questions.

“Does your species normally have tails?”

“No”

“Do your species have magic?”

“No” Twilight mentally gasped as wherever Gyro was from, they had no magic.

“Do you have any magic?” Twilight asked as Gyro Breathed into his hands, causing a small flame to dance on his hand, not harming him.

“If you consider breathing fire is magic, then ya. Gyro said to Twilight as he stood there looking at the sky. Spike perked up with his own curiosity.

“You can breathe fire? that means your a dragon like me.” Spike asked as he moved from behind twilight and stood in front of Gyro.

“I’m not a dragon” Gyro responded calmly as stared at his tail, his tail was yellow and scaly that had red spines on the top that ran down to the tip. Gyro started to get confused, if he could breathe fire then how was he a dragon?

“Hellooooooo, anyone home” Spike said as he tapped on Gyro’s leg. Gyro shook himself from his stupor and looked down at Spike with a confused look.

“If I remember, dragons look like you they don’t look like me” Gyro said to spike as he breathed fire into his hands again, creating the rotating ball of flame. Wind seen the fire ball and ran straight into Twilight's house and hid behind her couch, he yelled from his position.

“I’m not letting you burn something else off me this time!” Wind yelled as he ducked behind the couch his hooves covering his face. Gyro dispatched the flame by closing his hand completely and sighed.

“You’re scared of me aren’t you?” Gyro asked Spike as he still stared at the small reptilian who wore a smile. Spike hugged Gyro’s leg and started to laugh. Gyro tried to gently shake Spike off his leg but he would not budge.

“Hey, what’s got you so happy?” Gyro asked Spike as he finally let go.

“You can go to the Great Dragon Migration with me! It will be awesome!” Spike said in excitement as he ran inside the tree at great speed. Gyro looked toward Twilight as she rolled his eyes and trotted in, Gyro stood outside confused as to what just happened, he only seen 2 episodes of the show but what was this “Great Dragon Migration” Spike was talking about. Twilight turned to face Gyro with a look of kindness on her face and spoke to him with a laugh.

“Are you coming in?” Twilight asked Gyro as she walked in. Gyro facepalmed as he followed Twilight into her home, Gyro rubbed his knuckles as he became nervous. Gyro was going with Spike to a dragon migration, the dragons would probably take him as food. Gyro took out his SVD and checked his ammunition, Spike came back running down the steps, but he tripped and was falling down the high staircase, to normal ponies they would be okay but Spike, he might get badly hurt. Spike yelped as he fell, but Gyro seen this coming and darted from his spot and caught spike in mid air. Gyro set Spike down with a smile as the small dragon looked at him in relief.

“Be careful next time, okay little buddy” Gyro said as he petted Spike’s head in a friendly manner. Spike playfully swatted Gyro’s hand away while laughing.

“Are you ready to go?” Spike asked Gyro as he jumped up and down in excitement. Gyro nodded as he shouldered his SVD and stood up, Gyro and Spike walked toward the door until Twilight stopped them.

“Gyro, keep Spike safe please, i can’t stand for him to get hurt” Twilight said as she gave Spike a hug. Spike sighed as she hugged him, but Gyro felt depressed, Twilight was like a mother to Spike, he lost his in deadly warfare. Gyro nodded and walked out while Spike followed him, Spike walked in front of Gyro and led the way to the dragons resting place. On the way the climate started to change very rapidly, harsh cold, devastating winds, and lastly Scorching heat. Spike’s legs started to get shaky as he fell face first into the dirt. Gyro picked Spike up and set the dragon on his left shoulder as they continued on.

*7 hours later*

Gyro fell on one knee as he regained his breath, Spike was fast asleep on his shoulder, Spike held on with his claws and stayed still for the entire trip. Gyro grasped the edge of the hill and came to a view that made him a little edgy, in front of Gyro was over 50 dragons inside this volcano.There were Dragons ranging  from collosal to infants like Spike, but one Dragon particular struck his attention, A Dark emerald colored dragon laid at the highest point of the open volcano and rested. Gyro felt a presence within that dragon, the feeling was it was trying to pull him toward the dragon, but he pushed the thought away and shook Spike.

“Huh, what?” Spike said as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Spike looked forward and gulped, he seen how many adult Dragons were laid sleep on the sides of the volcano, but deeper inside were the teenage dragons. Spike pointed.

“There, go there Gyro” Spike said as Gyro followed to where his claw pointed. Gyro slid down the steep rock side past the adult’s to the teenage dragons below, Gyro dusted himself off as the onyx colored dust stuck to his clothing. Spike hopped off of Gyro’s shoulder and ran toward the group of teenage dragons with joy, Gyro watched Spike from his spot checking if the dragons tried to hurt him so he could protect him.

Gyro was about to close his eyes until he felt a hand touch his leg, Gyro turned to find Spike tugging his leg.

“Come on Gyro, i can’t let you sit here by yourself come with me, the others are giving you awkward looks” Spike said as he tugged on Gyro’s leg. Gyro sighed and walked with Spike over to the group of teenage dragons, Spike came up with a smile and spoke to the group.

“Hey guy’s, this is my friend Gyro” Spike said as the entire group laid eyes on Gyro. One blue dragon came up and looked Gyro in the eye’s and questioned.

“He looks nothing like a dragon, except for the tail” the dragon pointed at Gyro’s tail which still slightly wagged.

“Of course he doesn't look like one, but he can breathe fire, show them Gyro” Spike said excitedly as Gyro made the same swirling ball of fire in his hands. The dragon’s went wide eyed as they seen the ball perfectly morphed into his hand, the blue dragon spoke.

“Well he can breathe fire, but if he is a true dragon, he has to pass the test’s” the blue dragon said as he smiled. Spike shivered as he remembered the same test’s he had to go through in his first time coming, he looked toward Gyro and smiled.

“I know you can pass Gyro, just be calm” Spike assured Gyro as he patted his leg. Gyro looked forward and asked.

“Okay, what’s first?” Gyro asked as the blue dragon led him to a rock and laid his tail down.

“The first test, is Tail wrestling, you have to be me to pass the first test” The blue dragon smiled as Gyro laid his tail down and wrapped it with the others dragon’s tail. The match began as Gyro felt force starting to push his tail down, Gyro moved his shoulder to the right s his tail moved in unison. Gyro felt his tail push against the blue dragon’s as his enemies tail came closer to the flat surface of the rock, Gyro pushed again as his tail slammed his opponents tail onto the rock, causing it to crack. The blue dragon grunted in defeat  as he rubbed his tail.

“You got lucky, the next test will be the hardest so don’t get cocky” The blue dragon said as he led Gyro to a high cliff on the edge of the volcano. They reached the top and Gyro looked below and went wide eyed, down below was a pool of lava. There were dragons swimming inside the fiery pool of heat cheering for Gyro to jump, Spike ran past Gyro and dived.

“Spike!” Gyro yelled as Spike hit the lava as it made a splash. Spike came up spitting lava from his mouth in a playful manner and shouted.

“Come on Gyro, the lava’s great!” Spike yelled in joy as he swam around inside the lava. Gyro looked below and tried to back away, but he was shoved off the cliff and falling toward the lava below.  Gyro yelled as he was seconds away from his death, he closed his eyes and waited for his burning doom and breached the lava. He felt warm and opened his eyes, he was alive!

Gyro swam up to the surface and breathed, he was swimming inside lava and it felt... great! Gyro smiled as he swam to where Spike was talking with another dragon and snuck up behind his small friend.

“Hey Spike” Gyro calmly said as Spike turned around. Spike wore a large smile as he spoke.

“I knew you were a dragon!” Spike shouted in joy as him and Gyro fist bumped. Gyro started to enjoy hanging out with the dragons, Gyro played King of the Hoard as they battled for the top spot on the gold pile. Gyro dominated his dragon comrades and laughed as they sat on the pile of gold, the blue dragon from before tossed a red gem into Gyro’s hand and smiled.

“The name’s Nubis by the way” Nubis said as he held out his claw for Gyro to shake. Gyro shook Nubis’s hand and opened his mouth, he seen all the other dragons including Spike eat various gems, so he popped the gem into his mouth and crunched down. The gem was pulverized as Gyro chewed on it, it strangely tasted like strawberries as he swallowed the gem. Gyro burped as the gem entered his stomach, Gyro’s ears perked up as he heard Spike yell. He turned and found an older looking dragon holding Spike by his tail, this dragon looked like a young adult but still not fully grown.

“Alright, all of you come over here now or get tossed off the volcano!” Red dragon yelled at Gyro and the group. The group moved behind the red dragon in fear, the red dragon looked at Gyro with a disgusted look.

“So your this traitors new friend huh, well Spike has a date with the ground as he'll be sleeping six feet under ground!” The red dragon yelled as he held a sharpened claw toward Spike’s neck. Spike yelled at his captor as he struggled.

“Let me go Garbie!!” Spike yelled as he tried to escape. Garbie punched Spike in the nose and Spike fell unconscious, Gyro started to get angry to the point where his body started to form waving green flames around him like tentacles. Gyro’s eyes transformed into slits and he roared, the ground shook with tremendous force making the group fall on their backs. Garbie still held Spike in his grasp as he shook his head to regain his stability in vision. Gyro sped towards Garbie with his knife ready to strike, one of the dragons tried to dive bomb him from above with spines shooting from his tail. Gyro side stepped the spines and blasted a fireball from his mouth toward the attacking dragon, the fireball made impact and exploded into a ball of intense light.

Garbie took flight and sat on a high ledge to avoid danger, Spike was still unconscious. Gyro rushed the group and breathed fire into his knife,the fire wrapped around the blade and glowed with intensity. Gyro swiftly hacked and slashed at the group of dragons, hitting nerves as he cut through their scales which temporarily immobilized them. Gyro jammed his knife into rock and yelled as he climbed.

“GIVE HIM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!” Gyro yelled as he vaulted over the edge and slammed into Garbie’s chest, knocking the wind out of him. Garbie released Spike from his grasp as Gyro slammed Garbie into a corner, Garbie cowered in fear as Gyro slowly walked closer with a sadistic smile on his face. Gyro began to laugh maniacally as he stood over Garbie with his glowing knife in his right hand, Gyro smiled even wider as he spoke.

“Poor Garbie” Gyro said as he laughed at the cowering dragon.

“Shut up!” Garbie yelled as he shot a spine from his tail hitting Gyro in the shoulder. Gyro pulled the spine from his shoulder and threw it back at Garbie, the spine penetrated Garbie in his left wing. Garbie howled in pain as he could not escape from Gyro, Gyro laughed even more now as he woke up the adult dragons with his evil laughter.

"Ooo, I didn't know my blood was green, how pretty" Gyro said as he stared as his dripping blood.

“You know what’s funny Garbie?” Gyro asked as he gripped his knife even tighter. Tears streamed down Garbie’s scaly face like a torrential downpour as he cried, begged and pleaded for his life.

“Your still breathing” Gyro hissed as he raised his knife over his head ready to land the death blow, that is until he felt claws tightly hug his leg. Gyro looked down as he saw Spike crying his eyes out of there own sockets, Spike spoke through sniffles.

“G-Gyro don’t kill him, your not like this, please stop” Spike wailed through his dripping eyes as more tears flowed down his scaly cheeks. Gyro looked at Garbie as he sheathed his knife and hissed toward his defeated enemy.

“Value your life at this moment Garbie, for the next time we cross paths... i will kill you” Gyro said in a demonic tone that made Spike shiver in fear. Garbie stood up and climbed over the edge and rolled down the cliff side to his escape, Gyro looked to his left as he grabbed Spike and rolled. Gyro hit the side of the rock as a large crater was left were they used to be standing, Spike looked up from Gyro’s arms and screamed. There before them was an angry onyx dragon towering over them, Gyro placed Spike to his side as he rushed the dragon to save his friend from certain doom.

Gyro dodged the incoming fireballs the onyx dragon blasted toward him and pulled out his AK74u, Gyro shot in bursts as they slammed into the dragon's scales, not enough to penetrate but still strong enough to hurt by blunt force. The dragon swiped it’s colossal tail toward Gyro as it collided, Gyro was sent flying toward the other side of the mountain at break neck speeds and slammed into the rocks. Gyro coughed up blood as he fell onto one knee and wiped the blood from his mouth, Gyro was hurt badly from the spine that hit him in the shoulder, to him slamming into the rock side.

Gyro heard Spike scream as the onyx dragons tail swept toward him again aiming to kill, Gyro jumped over the tail as it slammed into the volcano and he landed on top of the dragons tail, Gyro raced upwards the beast’s face with smoke erupting from his nostrils. Gyro vaulted into the air once again as he soared over the dragon, the dragon looked up to his prey but it was met with an overlapping blanket of black fire. The fire wrapped over the onyx dragon as it roared in agony, the dragon collapsed onto the ground where it slept and breathed deeply as it tried to regain the lost air from it’s lungs.

Gyro landed in front of the onyx dragon face with a look of rage plastered on his face. Gyro spewed fire into his hands and morphed the swirling ball of flame and smiled.

“Let’s see how you like living with only one eye” Gyro laughed as he hurled the fireball at the dragons right eye. The ball exploded as the dragon howled in pain, what was left of the eye was a gaping hole of smoldering charred flesh. The onyx dragon passed out from the pain and Gyro roared in triumph, the other adult dragons witnessing one of the toughest dragons has been defeated by a unusual being has struck fear into their hearts.

Gyro felt a tail wrap around him a brought him upwards with tremendous force, Gyro tried to break free but was being constricted slowly, preventing him from breathing fire. Gyro looked forward as he was met with the same dark emerald dragon from the highest peak of the volcano, the dragon breathed a intense blue flame over Gyro as he felt his body go numb. Gyro felt his eyes grow heavy as the dragon spoke to him.

“You do not realize what your legacy holds, when the time is right you will come find me” the dragon said as he left Gyro fall to the rocky floor below with a thump. The dragon looked at Spike who stood speechless from the entire encounter and spoke to him.

“You and your friend should return home young one, he needs rest and you do too, i shall bring you to your home and then i must be off” the dragon spoke calmly as it placed her wing to where Spike was standing for him to hop on. Spike nodded and dragged Gyro onto the dragons back as it took flight toward Ponyville, Spike asked before he stared off into the luminous night.

“Who are you?” Spike asked the dragon. The dragon smiled as it responded

“My name is Rubia young one” Rubia responded as she flew faster. Spike nodded and curled into a ball and sat on Gyro’s stomach and slowly fell asleep, waiting to go home to back where he belonged.

The Roar Of The Arena

*3 hours later after reaching Ponyville*

Gyro was still unconscious as he laid in the hospital bed, Celestia, Spike and Twilight were sitting in their chairs, waiting for their friend to wake up.

*Flashback february 12, 2010, 6:50 PM*

Gyro opened his eyes as he was chained to the wall, he looked up and seen men dressed in lab coats and Taliban soldiers guarding the door in front of him. Gyro viewed his surroundings, he was inside a dark room with little lighting, there was a steel table to his left as one of the men dressed in lab coats picked up a needle filled with green liquid. The man spoke persian to one of the soldiers as he pointed to the needle in his hand, the soldier nodded as he approached Gyro and grabbed his head, Gyro struggled as he tried to shake off the hand but he felt cold metal penetrate his skin, the needle rested in his neck as the substance entered his bloodstream. The soldier released Gyro as he coughed violently his blood dripped onto the floor, he looked at his blood as it began to change into a light green like acid.

“What did you do to me?” Gyro asked as his vision started to get fuzzy. A man appeared from behind the soldiers with a sinister smile on his face, the man grabbed Gyro’s chin and made him look up.

“Did it work?” the man asked the workers in lab coats. One of the workers came up with a clipboard and gave the man the report.

“His vitals are normal, his blood is now more volatile, his esophagus has expanded, his eyesight is superb compared to the other subjects, and his other attributes have doubled sir” The man in the lab coat finished his report as he looked up to his leader. The man smiled as he looked back down at Gyro as he struggled to stay awake.

“You’re going to be my new terror weapon, my little killer.” The man said before he connected a punch to Gyro’s stomach making him cough more blood up. Gyro’s eyes closed as he passed out from the blow, the man let Gyro’s head fall and walked back to the door.

Gyro regained consciousness as he was being dragged forward, he opened his eyes just in time as he was thrown to the ground in front of him. Gyro held his side’s as it felt like he was being stabbed 1000 times, he looked up as he was surrounded by screaming men and woman inside a... Arena? Gyro placed a hand on his side and stood up, the setting sun shined in the sky as it made it’s decent. Gyro heard a loud speaker go off as it announced his name.

“In this side of the ring, we have the fresh blood Gyro!!!” the loud speaker shouted his name as the crowd booed him.

“And on this side, give it up for the Grave digger!!!” the loud speaker shouted as the crowd cheered. Gyro rolled his eyes as he was the usual underdog, a gate across from him opened and a large man covered in cuts walked out. This man must have been Grave digger for the crowd was going nuts for him, Gyro lifted his hands ready to fight as the man laughed.

“Your my opponent, I’ll make you scream!!!!” The man yelled as he charged. Gyro crouched down and rolled out of the way as the man stopped his charge and turned, Gyro winced in pain as his side skyrocketed to a world of agony. Gyro heard heavy footsteps as he was grabbed by the neck and felt his air depleting, he struggled for air as the man laughed.

“This is too easy” Grave digger boasted as the crowd cheered for him. Gyro aimed his foot for the man's chin and swung his leg forward, Gyro’s foot collided with his opponents chin as he was dropped to the hard dirt. Gyro held his neck as he gasped for air to enter his lungs, the man grew angry as he grabbed Gyro by his shoulders and threw him into the back wall. Gyro hollered in agony as a wound opened on the back of his head, Gyro fell to the floor coughing up more of the green ooze that escaped his blood stream. Grave digger threw his hands up in triumph as the crowd roared with excitement, two soldiers came out pulling a cart filled with various weapons, ranging from swords, daggers, maces, and even clubs. The two soldiers dumped the weapons onto the blood stained dirt and walked out of the arena, the man searched through the various weapons and smiled. Grave digger pulled out two sabres as he swung them left to right.

“Pick a weapon filth!” Grave digger shouted toward Gyro as he moved away from the pile. Gyro stood up as he fought through the acidic pain coursing through his nerves, Gyro carefully searched through the pile and found an unusual weapon for Taliban. Gyro moved his hand deeper into the pile and pulled, he fell onto his back as he held his weapon of choice. Gyro stared at the shining metal of the blade, Gyro stared in awe as he was holding a japanese Katana.

Gyro looked up as he seen Grave digger swung downwards aiming to slice Gyro into two, Gyro held the katana upwards as Grave digger’s sabre was deflected to the ground. Gyro rolled to the side and stood up with some trouble from the pain, the Katana felt heavy as Gyro struggled to hold it but the blade touched the dirt as he held it downwards. Grave digger regained his footing and crossed the blades together, intimidating Gyro. He felt the sweat pour down his neck like a flowing waterfall on a mountain side, Gyro dashed forward as the blade threw up dirt behind him. Grave digger smiled as he thrown the sabre’s directly at Gyro, the blades barely missed Gyro’s neck as the cut his ear and leg.

Gyro winced in agony as his nerves were screaming for mercy, he swung the Katana in a horizontal motion toward Graves torso as he laughed. Grave digger caught his laughter as he felt the cold steel cut deep into him, he looked down at Gyro with a look of pure rage as he grabbed his opponent by the neck and choke him. Gyro struggled again as he tried kicking Grave multiple times in the face but he was still standing, he slammed his foot into Graves right eye as he let go. Gyro seen the blade still lodged inside of Graves torso, he dashed forward and pushed the blade further as it tore through muscle and bone. Grave spat out blood as he reared his arms back and slammed them onto Gyro’s back knocking him to the floor, Grave fell onto his back coughing more large amounts of his precious blood. Gyro stood and limped over to Graves dieing body, he pulled the Katana free and held it high over his head.

“It is your time to rest” Gyro said with no emotion as he stabbed the bloodied blade into Graves skull. Gyro left the blade inside of his dead opponents skull and fell to his knees. The crowd was dead silent as you can hear a pin drop from a mile away, Gyro smiled as the gate opened and two soldiers rushed out. They dragged Gyro across the dirt to a exit where the mysterious man was waiting, Gyro was barely conscious as he was thrown in front of the man. The man smiled as he was grasping another needle.

“Today was a success but one more thing...” The man pointed toward one of the soldiers.

“Kill him” The man said coldly as he grabbed Gyro and pointed his vision at the soldier. Gyro felt a burning fire inside of his stomach as it rose to his throat. Fire blasted from Gyro’s mouth onto the man, incinerating him in seconds. The man let go of Gyro’s mouth as the fire instantly stopped, the man jammed the needle into Gyro’s spine as he cried out in pain.

“Can’t have you remember this little experience now would we” The said with venom in his voice as he shoved Gyro’s body onto the dirt. Gyro gave into the pain as he fell into the darkness.
