Chapter 10
"Blaze"

In the 4 months that passed, Pyro became the most ruthless member of the brotherhood. He led packs of Mutants through the streets destroying anti-mutant propaganda and assaulting protestors, even kill them. The boy who was known as John Allerdyce was beyond recognizable, his appearance drastically changed. His hair was shortened spiky and was darker and ashy instead of golden blonde. He wore all black with a hoodie and welding goggles hiding his now pale eyes, he was very pale and looked to be in pain. Both of his wrists were equipped with igniters to use his Pyrokinesis, as Magneto's second in command the fire manipulator known as Pyro was the most feared mutant beyond the humans.

Pyro left the brotherhood sanctuary, for privacy. He began coughing, hard and after the sudden throat attack Pyro spat blood into the water of the river. He can hear twigs being trampled underfoot behind him, without even turning he spoke out.

"What are you doing here?" Pyro asked, his voice was cold and low.

"I miss you." a familiar voice replied.

"I'm not going back, Kitten." He turned to look at her, she hadn't changed a bit.

"I just want to talk Pyro." Kitty said moving closer, her voice was unusually calm. Pyro narrowed his eyes behind his goggles, he picked up a rock and skipped it across the body of water. "I didn't know you could do that." Kitty said.

"It's cause you don't know a damn thing about me!" Pyro spat, "Mystique..." He finished. Kitty's skin turned blue and scaly, Mystique smirked as she was in her true form. "I know ShadowCat better then anyone." Pyro said turning his gaze back towards the river.

"What gave me away?" She asked.

"She was the only one who never called me Pyro." John said softly.

"And yet you leave her to join our cause, for what purpose?" Mystique asked.

"I don't have to explain myself to you." Pyro scoffed turning back towards the sanctuary.

"Then explain it to me... John." She said in Kitty's voice. Pyro snapped and made his way to the shape shifter who went back into disguising as Kitty. He gripped her throat, and pinned her to the ground. Mystique did well staying in character as Pyro strangled the image of the girlfriend of John Allerdyce.

"John's gone ShadowCat and he is never coming back!"

"Stop your hurting me!" Mystique cried posing as Kitty. Pyro punched her, she started crying. "I... lo..loved you!" She spoke between the sobs but began to let out a sinister laugh as Mystique transformed back into herself.

"Well done Pyro, I think my work here is done." She said walking off back to the sanctuary. John sighed and decided to head to the city for a long walk, sun set as he arrived to the Times Square. People going about their business, one of the most busiest places of the big apple. Pyro kept his hood up hiding his face from the humans, just walking, thinking at least enjoying his free time but then a flash of anger appeared on his face seeing another anti-mutant protest. Bu Pyro smirked and held out his hand and ignited a fireball into his palm. An officer saw this and pulled out his fire arm,

"Freeze!" The Cop shouted, the people ran out of the way and the rest screamed in fear as Pyro shot down the cop with his flames. Pyro turned to the protestors and unleashed a frenzy of flames at them, but then his writs were shot with some kind of sticky webbing.

"Didn't your mother tell you not to play with matches?" A geeky voice said. Pyro turned and scoffed into a smirk while cleaning off the webbing on his igniters.

"Well, well, well... If it isn't the amazing Spider-Man!" Pyro mocked.

"And you must be Pyro." Spider-man said crouching down on top of a car. "How are you doing?" Spider-Man asked.

"Been better." Pyro said taking a few steps towards him. Every skyscraper TV screens projected a live news feed of Pyro and Spider-Man in the middle of times square.

"Listen, uh... I know some people don't like your kind. but.."

"You're a mutant too, no?"

"Me? Well that's kind of complicated." Spider-Man said.

"What does it matter? Homo sapiens... They don't understand the meaning of evolution! I mean that is why us mutants are here right?"

"Uhhhh... Sure what ever you say, hothead. Listen you seem like a cool kid, so why don't you just give up and things will go by more smoothly." But Spidey was interrupted by a gunshot from a swat sniper, the bullet struck Pyro's shoulder. "NO! Stop he's just a kid!" Spidey shouted. Pyro shot a stream of flames at the sniper, who screams in pain as the flames engulfed his entire body. Spider-Man grappled Pyro's wrist with his web shot, but was met with a fireball hitting him in the face causing him to fly back into a car. Pyro grunted in pain from the gunshot, but that didn't stop him from using his Pyrokinesis to shove back the cop cars surrounding the area, a pedestriean was in the path of the oncoming car, but Spider-man pulled him out of the way with his web shot saving him. The crowds chear him on chanting 'Spidey'. Pyro began laughing hysterically.

"Fucking people! Prejudice against mutants, but not Mutants in goofy costumes! Nothing but a traitor to their own cause!" Pyro spat.

"Dude, calm down I'm not even a mutant... Just calm down nobody is gonna hurt you, I won't let em'." Spider-Man assured trying to calm down the Pyromaniac.

"Liar..." Pyro whispered. He shot a full force of flames at Spider-Man but with his super agility managed to dodge it all but sent a cop car flying into the air, Spider-Man used his web shooters to sling shot the burning car away from the crowd of people saving them. Spider-Man then started to swing a fire hydrant he pulled out from the ground, and threw it at the fire manipulator, Pyro was thrown back by the impact of it hitting him. Grunting in pain, Pyro clinched his fist in anger, he was so angry enough he let out a bloody roar and somehow breathed fire, not caring on how he did it but his entire body ignited in flames and hovered off the ground, he took his new form and began shooting blazing inferno down at the fleeing people destroying half of Time's square. The next thing the fire manipulator knew he was thrown down to the ground after meeting the force of a fire hose, Pyro was soaked to the skin and dazed. He looked up to see Spider-Man helping the firefighters aiming the hose and wearing a fire fighter hat.

"Fuck you, freak!" Pyro grunted. Cops closed in on Pyro with their weapons drawn, suddenly the Blackbird appeared in the sky and lands in the middle of the square. Pyro's eyes widened in surprise, the X-men coming to rescue him? Fat chance.

So what's going to happen with Pyro? Is John Allerdyce still in their somewhere? I he going to see Kitty again? Please Review.
