dissapointingly.

'........Matrix ...?!?!'  Striker said shockingly.

Matrix walked slowly up to Striker.. he flicked his tail, then he turned his head to Aroona; then slowly looked at Striker smiling, Striker gasped when Matrix smiled and immediatlyt Matrix bucked Striker causing him to collapse. Matrix neighed and collected his mother and they ran away.Matrix and his herd wernt ready for this fight.. especially with the Weather on his side. LB sighed and said 'Why dont i have the ability to call on the Ancestors like dad ?'

'Dad didint tell you this but .... The Ancestors only come to the ones that use the Weather for evil. Such as killing you, me and Aroona. SO we have to stick together and pray to the Decandents of our race, that they hear this message and help us defeat Striker.' Matrix said into the heavens.

Lb nodded sloly and said 'Your right, but.. how will they hear that message?'

Matrix started to walk away while saying  'Heraing the message? no, no, no ... they feel it'

Matrix and the herd walked back to Starlands, Faith was chatting away to her friends while once again Aroona drifted off. Matrix neighed to Lb to bring her up her. Lb did so and Matrix said 'Dont Worry, We'll win.. im sure of it.'

Aroona didnt reply and neither did anyone else. They wernt sure if they were going to win.. Why? Striker had the advantage but what they didint realise is that Matrix has a gift from God. No one knows his power except himself and Striker; and Striker knowing that Power puts Striker in an uncomfortable position.

The Stargazer herd sta down and startled to mumble about the fight, most of th herd were sure they were going to die. Matrix had enough of this nonsense and said loudly . . .

'Stargazer herd ! Their is something you dont know about me... I... I... I have a gift.. from God.'

'But... isnt our familt decvanded from Lightning Storms ?'  LB said curiously.

'Not all of us.. I wasnt marked with the Lightning Bolt Signature because i was destined to stop thye race by defeating the leaders... '  Matrix said sadly ..

'Who are the leaders?' Asked Aroona.

'Striker and ...'  Matrix said firmly

'Who, who else...?' Aroona asked again.

'Lightning bolt.... Why dod you think i never went near you as a foal. God wouldve killed you through me;  I have learnt to control the power and i wish to get rid of it.. tonight.  The only way i can get rid of it is if i kill a decandent.. for example Striker. Now ! im NOT going to kill my own father, but, I want to teach him a lesson. Dont we all ??'   Replied Matrix

'YES !' Replied The Stargazer Herd.

Matrix jumped down from the cliff and split the herd in two. One group went with LB and the Other with Matrix; Matrix wanted to train before they went into battle. LB trained defense and Matrix trained Attack. Matrix took all the strong mare / stallion fighters , while LB took the rest.

Matrix trained the Fighters until they had ABSOLOUTLY no energy left in them. MAtrix was terribly tired as well but stood strong. On the other hand LB had no idea how to defend him self, he would normally just take the pain. So Faith took over instead. Matrix was proud of  the trainig scheme.

On a fine day Matrix was standing on top of the hil breathing in the thick clean air until a burning smell came into his scent, he instantly knew it was Striker and snarled. Matrix looked around for Striker but he was no where to be seen. Matrix saw a black flash in the corner of his eye, Matrix skidded around but couldnt see him. MAtrix continued looking then eventually saw him, standing on the hill beside him. MAtrix neighed and reared like mad. Striker reared and ran away with his mate.

Matrix headed home and saw that something was wrong..... He looked around and couldnt find Aroona or LB !  The Stargazer herd all looked like they were getting up from a deep sleep. Matrix ran over to Syris and asked 'What Happened  ?!?!'

'St..r..ik..k.er...... Danish ... He.. r..d..'   Syris said with a few breaths.

Matrix reared in envy, and yelled  'STRARGAZER HERD !!!!  ITS TIME !' 

The Stragazer herd found the strenght and all got up. Ivy, Ivory, Dexter and April came running up to Matrix and said together 'They've got mum...'

Matrix widened his eyes, reared in envy and bolted into the direction of The Danish Herd, With The Stargazer Herd following  behind him.

Matrix ran towards the Danish herd never releasing his tense snarl on his face. Matrix ran over the last hill of his land, Matrix really didint notice because he was full of hate, MAtrix jumped over rocks and logs, dodging small animals. A large boulder was in front of Matrix, he could of easily went sround it but chose t jump over it instead. Matrix reached the edge of Strikers land.  Matrix stopped just on the line; Matrix took one very strong step onto his land. Matrix reared and he could see, them bringing Faith; Matrixs' heart was filled with pain, from what they were doing to her. They were kicking and biting at her shoulders, making them bleed. Matrix collapsed of pain and was crying. Matrix cried and wanted to die. 

 Matrix realised he had to stay strong, he stood up shaking his mane from the tears. Matrix stood up strong with his head high, he tensed his strong body nad walked proudly over to Striker; but before he could reached The two stallions dragging Faith let go of her and then started dragging her by her mane and tail. Matrix nearly collapsed again but remembered his strength. 

He reared  and ran over to Faith tackling one of the stallions that were pulling at her mane. He bucked and slashed the stallion until he lay oin the floor in pain. The next stallion came at him from behind. Matrix tunrned around and bucked him in the stomach. Matrix raced over to Faith, helping her up.

Matrix walked back in the direction of Striker, he snarled iwth anger. Striker stood up on a large rock, he lifted his head with his herd surrounding it. Striker saw Matrix from around the corner; Striker reared calling the Ancestors from hell. Nightimne instantly came over the land, a Liughtning storm struch with the faces of the hell bred ancestors.

Matrix saw the Lightning get closer... Matrix remmebered his power. Matrix tensed his front legs, he looked up to heaven and tens3ed his neck. Matrix called the Decendents on this planet to the fight. Matrix released his body after several seconds. Matrix  looked at Striker; Striker looked at Matrix and waited awhile then bursted out laughing with his herd following. Matrix started to smerk when some white smoke from behind The TSragzer herd emerged....

Striker immediatly stopped laughing along with The Danish Herd. Out of the White Smoke came Four horses that had no Lightning Bolt markings on them; just like Matrix. Matrix and the other 5 horses (including LB) walked up to Striker. Strker gasped and neighed so loud the Ancestors from hell, struck Lightning right in front of the six horses. Matrix reared then jumped and tackled Striker..

The War had begun  ....

The War had begun... There was blood, violence and torment everywhere you looked. The most violence was between Striker and Matrix.

Matrix bucked Striker in the jaw. Striker returned the hit with a whack in the face. Striker bolted for the long straight mountain where the Lightning struck hard. Striker bolted across the Lightning death trap. Matrix followed behind him dodging the Lightning Strikes.

Striker continued running across the Death trao with Matrix following him. Matrix eventually caught up to Striker; Matrix lunged forward and tackled Striker. Striker fell and kicked Matrix in teh face, Matrix jumped agin , reared and smashed down in Striker scratching his face and ribs.

Striker got up in pian and reared at Matrix, Matrix reareed back and they bothe hit eachother in the face. Striker jumped at Matrix bit his neck. Matrix screamed and kicked Striker in the stomach. Striker felt gutted but kept fightning hard and strong.

It was hard for both Matrix and Striker fightning eachother; but at the same time it wasnt because they hated eachother form the moment Matrix was born.

Matrix once agin lunged at Striker while he tried to escape, Striker fell to the ground started to choke from teh tight grip Matrix had around his neck. Striker kicked Matrix in the forehead with his hoof. MAtrix shook his head and chased after Striker. Lb was watching the two Stllion fight when three stunningly attractive mares approached him ... Lb jaw dropped more and more as each mare nuzzled him. One said there name was Candy, another Alidia and the last one Cinnamon Roll. Lb looked around to see another bay mare that was a little older than the others approach him. Teh bay mares name was Gypsy (LB over heard it). Lb snorted, and as soon as he did that Gypst reared and whacked LB in the face. The 4 mares ran away prancing.

LB got up and saw Aroona being dragged away like Faith. Lb wouldnt stand to see his mother like tha so he did what Matrix did to Faith. He jumped at the Stallions and bucked and reared at them until the let her go. Aroona diditn say anything she just ran for Striker.

Aroona and LB ran up the hill to where Striker was coming down, Aroona saw Striker and trip[ped him, making him tumble down the hill. When Striker reached the bottom of the hill Aroon was standing over him. She leant down and said 'You shouldnt have left....'. Aroona kicked Striker in teh stomach and said with a few breaths. 'this is for abandoning Matrix... forgetting about LB and leaving ME !'
