It's been about twenty years since the shop had burnt down and Dell had finally passed his eleventh time at collage. He hadn't flunked out he had just went back to collage until he had hit a number of masters degrees that would please him. On the other hand Pyro had been savaging for jobs while his adopted brother was there, there was too many he could barely count them all, he had worked as a fireman, a waiter, a chef, a biker and his favorite was being a hired mercenary. He met up with his clients and would be paid to kill people. His favorite part was burning the houses, at the end of each job he burnt down the victim's house and always got away with it. While he walked out of the fires of the smoldering houses people who say he looked demonic and evil, but to him all he saw was rainbows and butterflies. During the last days of Dell's collage days Pyro saved up money for Dell's graduation and bought less fuel for his flamethrower but on the last day before the graduation Pyro realized that his work as a mercenary could damage his relationship with his brother. Pyro then took his flare gun, flamethrower and axe and brought them out to the car which he used and cut out a hole underneath his seat, big enough for his weapons. Little did he know that the place he cut would soon be how Dell would find out about the mercenary business.

Dell took one last look at his dorm and then looked at all the stuff he had built when he came to that school. He thought of how the dean joked about him becoming a teacher there one day and then he went over to each invention and pressed a button on its side and the inventions folded themselves into tiny storage cubes the size of a fuzzy die for a car. Then he started putting them into his five suitcases and then started putting his wrench and other tools into his toolbox and folded his clothes and put them into his suitcase. Then he made his way to graduation.

Pyro was running a bit late he put a suit on, curtsy of one of his targets along with his money and drove his van over to the collage when he got there he noticed he still had his mask on and took it off and threw it into the back of the van. His face was blackened with soot but pale. He had golden blonde hair and blue eyes. He then took out a mechanical object in his pocket suffocating from lack of air and put it in his mouth and breathed in and out. He walked over to his brother's dorm only to find that Dell wasn't there then he made his way to the graduation and saw his dad and Radigan who now was very old.

Soon after the graduation Dell went over to Pyro and said "I'm going to need help with my bags." The two then went to Dell's dorm to get the bags, there was one more left and Pyro volunteered to grab the bag. As Pyro was on his way there he bumped into a student and her bags fell. Pyro then said "Here let me help you and then helped her up and picked up her bags and gave them to her. The student had her hair wrapped up in two buns and was wearing her glasses sort of crooked. The woman said "Sorry for bumping into you." Then Pyro saw her name tag "Pauling? Am I right?" and then the woman said "How did you…" and Pyro said "We worked together in a restaurant." And Pauling said "Who are you?" Pyro then said "I'm not wearing my gas mask now but if you saw me with it you might know." And Pauling said "Oh your Pyro. Nice bumping into you again but I have to go work an internship for my adopted mom." Pyro then thought about what she said and then said "You're adopted?" and then Pauling replied "Yeah. Sort of depressing at times." And Pyro exclaimed "I'm also adopted." But then Pauling was about to say something when a tall figure with big hair came in and said with a booming voice "Pauling stop making friends and lets go." As the woman left Pauling said "Here's where I work you can find me at." She gave Pyro a card and then left. Pyro looked down at the card and it said 'Mann. Co Reliable Excavation Demolition. Hiring mercenaries.' Then Pyro thought about what the card said as he went and got Dell's suitcase.

When Pyro got back Dell was playing his guitar and then he looked up and said "Where were you? It's been like twenty minutes." Pyro then threw the suitcase into the back and said "Talking". They drove to Pyro's apartment and Pyro just put back on his mask. The ride back was terrible for Pyro since his flamethrower was propped in an odd angle so it hurt his ass but he held it in for the journey home.

When they got to Pyro's apartment, Dell hopped right onto the couch and fell asleep, this provided Pyro the perfect time to make more money doing mercenary work. As he left to his next client's house on his old motorcycle Dell woke up and went to the fridge for some beer but when he saw there was no beer he jumped inside Pyro's van and drove to the store but he noticed something strange with his seat so when he got to the store he checked under the seat and found what Pyro had been trying to hide except the flamethrower. Dell then stood shocked as the remembered in collage, reading the papers about a masked mercenary who sets houses ablaze and then compared the what he read with Pyro. He jumped back into the van and went back to the house just as Pyro was pulling in. And when Dell hopped out of the car Pyro was taking off his mask and Dell demanded "Whats going on!" and Pyro had no choice and told him everything and then expected Dell to hit him but Dell just said "Sounds fun! When do we get started!"
