father... 

Lightning Bolts (LBs') Story 

 LB was born just like Matrix... he was younger, quicker and cockier & loved by his father (Striker). Striker seemed to love LB mor ethan Matrix or anyother person because LB had the markings of a new decansdent of Lightning Bolts.

LB left at the age of 2 with his afther. LB didint want to leave his mother their all alone but he had no choice.. On the day LB left he thought he saw Matrix?  But it coudnt of been.. Matrix was dead ? according to Striker .... 

LB visited many herds and tried to show off to many mares. It worked (of course)  but he never fell in love with them.

LB and his father came across a herd (Danish Herd)  it had no leader. Striker took over it and forgot about LB so LB left.

LB came across many challenges when he left Striker; Calvary, rouges, mountain lions and wolves.

LB saw a black figure in the distnce, he looked closer and closer and it seemed to look like Matrix so he called out 'Matrix ...?' and there was Matrix popping out of the darkness.

And so the Resurrection begun.....

LB was galloping up the cliffs and up to the place Matrix had nearly died; Lb lifted his head and smelled the cold air blowing against his face. LB heard hoofbeats and turned around slowly... he waited for a rougue horse to appear but it was only Adonis. LB and Adonis are very good friends; Adonis helped Lb get to know the herd.. even the ones Adonis didnt like. LB stood on the cliff top with Adonis smelling the fresh air when i strange figure was seen through the corner of his eye. LB quickly turned to see the strange figure was Alllie. Allie was one of the strongest and most annoyingest of The Albinos pathetic herd. LB went to the edge to see Allie  about 100 meters down. Adonis went to grab a rock and he 'accidently' dropped it straight down which had hit Allie on the head... hard. Allie looked up to see the teo boys laughing like mad, Adonis and Lb went to get some more rocks and they just dropped them randomly, which 'happened' to land on Allie as well.

Allie didnt like the fact they dropped rocks on her so she ran up the cliff to meet the two boys. Allie reached the top and stood behind the boys quietly; LB & Adonis thought Allie was on the ground so they had no idea.  Allie snuck on them and said 'What you looking at hotshot?' Both the boys screamed and nearly fell off the cilff. Allie stepped back and just laughed.  Allie continued laughing while the boys tried to calm down, Allie eventually stopped laughing from the fact that she had realised she had entered the Stargazer herds land. Allie looked at the boys and walked over to LB slowly and charmingly. LB looked into her glossy eyes and saw the pain of her life pass by.. Allie smiled and she flicked her tail up intoi his face... which charmed him.

Adonis kicked him and he snapped out of it. Adonis approached Allie with a strong tone in his upper body; Allie gigiled andappoached Adonises muzzle and about to nuzzle him when Izia approached the entrance and.... the only way down. Izia approached Adonis and flicked her tail in his face; which was a way of saying;
'step back'. so he stepped back. Izia and Allie looked at eachother fiercly; Izia snorted and snarled and Allie bolted for the exit but LB is very cunning and bolted after her while Adonis and Izia watched (Lb could catch anyone). LB jumped for Allie and just got a grip around her neck but unfortunately the rock wall was unstable and it crumbled; forcing LB and Allie tumbling down the cliff hill, which had sharp rocks and many large boulders falling after them. Adonis saw the two horses fall and he ran to the edge to see what would happen. LB tumbled just beside Allie; Allie looked scaed and looked at LB as if 'I dont want to die... save me ...' LB could see it in her eyes. They continued to tumble down the hill..; but after massi9vre amounts of rainfall the cliff had decayed alittle which made like a slop so LB and Allie went flying up into the air.

The cliff on the other side had a flat edge, which is where the two horses landed; but Allie had landed on the edge and was slipping... She whispered to LB  'Save me ...' Allie slipped and fell.. LB thought he could help her so he followed her and rolled off the cliff as well. Allie was grateful he had done so, but wasnt sure how he was gonna help her. They fell in mid air and hit the edge of the cliff constantly.

Adonis and Izia looked down at the two horses falling and hoped for a miracle. LB saw Allie saw that Allie fell faster than him, LB reached for allie and pulled her up on his back, the two horses stumbled and fell on the cliffs edge and were hurt very badly. The same wound would get sliced over 10 times. LB heard The Albino scream from beneath them..' ALLIE !!!'   he screamed.  Lb realised she would survive from him impacting her fal.. but who would save LB ?  Lb heard a shreik from beneath huim.... he looked doen and their was the ground... he closed his eyes hoping for the best....  Something or someone had impacted his fall...

LB stood up and saw a mare.. an American Paint mare... she looked so familair, Where had i seen her before ? LB thought to himslef. The Mare raised her head and LB instanly said 'Mum .....?' in a shocked voice.

Aroona woke early this morning by the sound of a whipbird. She found them annoying so she got up and walked around in search of the lake. Aroona was tired of sleeping all day so she wandered off into the forest. Aroona came by some wolve tracks; she decided to follow them until they came to a stop at a cave. Aroona was smart and turned her back and ran away.

Aroona started to head back to the Secret Valley, but heard a noise ....  it was a comotion coming from Matrix and Syris. Aroona looked up to the cliffs to see Adonis screaming at Matrix and shouving his head in the Direction of LB ! Aroona panicked and bolted for the cliffs not knowing Matrix saw her. Matrix looked at Aroona and said 'Mum ....?'  he bolted after her and headed for Lb, Matrix tried to catch him but he was too far behind, Aroona stopped and impacted his landing. Matrix saw Aroona and Lb get up.

Aroona shook her mane and heard LB say something, she realised she had done what she had just done. Aroona didint want any contact between her sons; Aroona began to run away but Matrxi and The Stragazer herd surounded her. Adonis and Izia were busy chasing the Albino off their land. Aroona looked around and whinnied. She was scared. 

Matrix approached through a gap and asked 'I thought you were dead... we all did?' 
'all...?' Aroona sked shockingly.
'The Stargazer Herd, we are family. How long have you benn spying on us ?' Lb asked.
'Spying ! no i wander past this place often, I live somewhere else'.  Aroona said.
'With Striker i imagine..?'  Matrix and LB said at the same time.
uh... no i li..' Aroona started to say

'With me..' Zorro walked in slolwy and proudly.
Matrix stood in front of his mother and snarled.
Aroon said in his ear 'Were mates, relax..'
Matrix stepped back while Zorro and Aroons nuzzled.

'Mum. We have some news.'  Matrix said dissapointingly.

'What is it ?' asked Aroona

'Were planning an attack..'

'Against who..?'

*Matrix clears his throat* 'Striker.'

'WHAT !!!! you cant go after him are you mad !'

LB stepped in front and said

' Look !    he decieved me,  he bashed up Matrxi and left you for dead!... he needs to be taught a lesson, and our WHOLE family is gonna fight; and you cant stop us.'

'if any one is teaching that retched stallion a lesson, its gonna be Matrix. Matrix knows they way of his father and you LB can catch him. Striker has the ability to out run us all at night time. How ...?  he has the markings of a Lightning bolt which makes him a decandent, along with LB. MAtrix has the power to outsmart him and me.. well.. where do you think the boys get their charming looks from..?'   Aroona yelled to the whole herd.

The Stargazer herd laughed and headed back to camp, along with Aroona. Zorro headed home because he was not welcome with Matrixs herd.

Matrix headed over to the cave with Faith, The Foals and LB. LB slept just out side the cave; LB saw Aroona walk off to a lonely tree, LB walked over to Aroona sat down in front of her. Aroona layed her lead on his back and they went to sleep.

Aroona woke the next morning to find herself in a different place. She looked around and saw a Strike of Lightning on a horses face; She instantly knew it was Striker.. she shivered away but was trapped by the Danish Herd. Aroona looked around but couldnt see properly from the harsh sun, she could ony se Strikers face clearly. Striker leant down and snarled at Aroona, Aroona snarled back but viciously, Aroona stood up shaking her mane and said 'What do you want ....?'  

Striker made a big speech and said 'Well... i saw your big rescue yesterday with LB and a strange herd.. Is he your NEW mate ..?' he said curiously....

'WHAT !?!? NO !   i cant believe you dont recognise your own s...' Aroona strated to say...

'Son... is that the word...? i think so what do you think Striker ?' Matrix said as he walked in Proudly with the rest of his herd walking behind him..

Striker dropped his jaw and said 'Who do you think you are boy...?'

'You are seriously the worst father ive ever met !' Matrix said
