Spike was going around Rio trying to lay low, Then he started running through the streets and climbed up a wall and on a roof. Spike then jumped over a Brick wall and on to a rooftop then jumped to roof to roof. He then coiled his legs and jumped high and forward to a roof 5 buildings away, he then ran across a ledge and leaped a over a gap.

Then Spike jumped off a roof and landed softly on the ground and jumped grabbed a window seal of the building infront of him with his claws and springing up to the roof top grabbing the ledge and pushing off with his legs against the wall downwards and turning sailing over three roofs and landed softly on the fourth's ledge and dropped down and Spike opened his wings and took off to where he was staying, a apartment on the edge of the town.

He was waiting for a lesson to begin and so he went out again. Spike arrived at a warehouse with mats and the Stix from earlier waiting.

"You made it" Stix spoke in Rio's language.

"Yes teach me how to control myself better" Spike answered with the same language, kneeling on his knees infront of Stix.

"What I'm showing you is the simplest ways to control your anger and keep it at bay" Stix spoke "Meditation" he said and the two closed their eyes and Spike listened as he heard Stix breath in deeply and exhaled then it was quiet and Spike copied his actions and his mind was calm and felt lighter, then after half an hour they came out of it.

Spike and Stix opened their eyes "Your eager to learn" Stix said "Now the other is breathing techniques" he said, then patted his hoof to his heart.

"Here emotion is fire when it gets hard to control, deep breathing keep an eye on your heartrate and it will douse the flames and you can control your anger" Stix told him.

"Thanks now if there is anyway I can repay you name it" Spike replied

"There is something you can help with, I run a warehouse east of this town and one employee got injured and two more called out and one got sick so I need a helping hoof or claw only for a few days" Stix said.

"sure I'll help you, you helped me" Spike answered.

"I have a night shift so meet me here and I'll bring us there" Stix told him.

"Deal, see you tonight" Spike told him bowing and stood up walking away.

Celestia's sun was beginning to set and Spike headed out and arrived at Stix's warehouse/home and the two left. 30 minutes later they arrived at Stix's job and the two entered, Stix went in a locker room and Stix gave Spike some clothes he put on some green pants and heavy jacket.

Stix first had Spike move some crates on some forklift pallets, so Spike picked up some heavy crates one at a time and moved them to the pallet and quickly stacked them as high the forklift allowed and the driver drove to the back and another pulled up and Spike stacked that one to. Then after the last pallet was stacked Spike did the second thing on the list it was tending the boiler room, he had to keep track of the temperatures of the machines, so Spike sat in a chair and kept looking at the thermostat's and temperature modules regularly which was pretty boring, Spike discovered that this factory was old.

hour later another pony came down for his shift, So Spike went up the stairs. Spike then was in charge of sorting some parts with some mare who told him to sort them and put them in different boxes, Spike then picked parts up and placed them in correct boxes quickly from the conveyor belt. Then hours later after helping back with stacking forklifts Stix was closing the factory for the night, then he went past a control room and smelled fried circuits and went in and saw a pony trying to fix a circuit.

"You might want to replace some wires, like this" Spike spoke in Rio, then inspected the circuit bored and picking up some parts from the replacement parts he found on the shelf. He then fixed the fried circuit board and put it back in the slot and the control room was running smoothly again.

"thanks Dracone" the pony spoke.

"Don't mention it" Spike replied

three days later Spike was helping Stix with his job the two became friends, he was suppose to work for three days but he decided to keep working there days and weeks went by which turned to 5 months, it has been awhile since Spike had stopped moving. He was pushing a cart when Stix called out to him.

"wire malfunction" Stix spoke and Spike nodded his head and he went to a control button which was sparking so he unscrewed some screws with the tip of a claw and he pulled the panel out and tightened up a wire end and put some electrical tape on some frayed sections of the wires and clicked the button and the machines fired up again and Spike closed the box back up.

"I can make it for awhile but no offense this warehouse is really old so, I would consider at least getting it rebuilt or get a more stable warehouse thats newer and renovate" Spike told Stix in Rio as Stix came up to him.

"I need a new building" Stix smirked "You know these last months you been helping me and the others without asking for anything your too smart for labor work let me give you some gems from the mine" Stix offered.

"No I couldn't have that" Spoke answered, then the ground rumbled and two Diamond dogs came up from a hole.

"Last chance where is the mine" a Diamond dog barked, the tremble caused and sudden appearance of the dogs caused a pony driving a forklift to crash in a big boiler support and the thing fell, Spike jumped into action and jumped from the walk way he and Stix was on and caught the 1000 pound boiler with his hands and pushing and eyes glowing slowing the descend the Boiler stopped stood on the roof of the forklift lightly but the strain was causing the roof to sink inwards so Spike jumped off and with a claw still on the boiler and placing one on the forklift and pushed it away from the boiler 5 feet away and propped the boiler against a wall.

Spike turned to the dogs and grabbed them and slammed them on the ground hard bones cracked and Spike threw them down it and breathed fire in the hole and the dogs shot up like rockets away from the factory.

"I think I will renovate another building" Stix spoke walking up to Spike.

"it is really old, probably older than Celestia" Spike smirked, then the two left followed by the other workers.

In the Government base

Boss Hogg was sitting in his chair when a female officer came in "General just got a report a worker was saved" she spoke handing him a paper "From the reports a 1000 pound boiler and a forklift was pushed back by something very strong, a level of strength above a ponies or anycreature" she told him.

"where was this incident?" Boss Hogg asked standing up.

"Rio" the mare told him.

"Get some new fresh recruits with high equality records and get a team to search for a drake in that place and tell them don't go in loud, if he sees or even hears them he's gone" Boss Hogg ordered.
