Strike held us his hands and began to form dark red electric fireballs. The heroes and girls prepared for the attack. Strike threw the fireballs at them. They all dodged them, but when they hit the ground, they exploded with fire and electricity.

"Okay, he's certainly mad," Rainbow said.

"We need to help him," Sonic said, "He's out of control."

Rainbow flew up into the sky and fired her Morpher at Strike. The blasts hurt Strike and made him step back. Strike growled as he threw red lightning bolts at Rainbow. Rainbow dodged them at the last second.

Rainbow then saw Strike jumping right at her. He grabbed her legs and threw her to the ground. Rainbow landed hard on her back groaning in pain. Strike then landed on top of her and threw his fist at her face, but Rainbow caught it right before it landed.

"Strike, don't attack!" Rainbow yelled, "It's me, Rainbow Dash!"

Strike then pulled his fist up in the air and tried to slam it onto Rainbow, but Rainbow quickly rolled out of the way. She then kicked Strike right in the face and knocked him over. Rainbow then flew off.

Strike got up growling, but then an arrow bit Strike in the chest, making him yell in pain and anger. He pulled the arrow out and saw that Rarity shot him. She grabbed three more of her Chaos Arrows and fired them all at once at Strike. Strike blocked one with his foot and caught the other two with his hands.

Strike shot red lightning at Rarity, but Silver created a Chaos Shield around him and Rarity. Rarity fired her Morpher through the shield. Strike just held up his hand and the blasts stopped in mid air. They disappeared.

Strike then rushed at Silver and Rarity with high intense speed. His blur turned red with black and red fire. Strike punched the Chaos Shield hard. It began to crack.

"Uh-oh…" Silver said.

Strike gave the shield another punch and it broke into pieces and disappeared. Silver threw cyan energy blasts while Rarity fired her Morpher at Strike. Strike growled as he slammed his fists on the ground, sending a wave of red electric fire at Silver and Rarity. Silver quickly grabbed Rarity and flew away from the wave.

Breeze charged at Strike and grabbed him. He tried to hold him tightly, but Strike was breaking free.

"Brother, listen to me!" Breeze yelled, "You're not a monster!"

Strike roared as he broke free and punched Breeze right in his stomach and sending him into the dirt hill. Breeze groaned, "Well, that didn't work."

Spider spun webs at Strike's feet and they kept him stuck on the ground. He then gave Strike two strong punches in the face, knocking him back. Strike growled more as he threw electric fire at Spider, but Spider jumped over it. Ant popped up in front of Strike and grabbed him. He then jumped over him while holding him and threw him off into one of the ramps.

Strike got up in anger. He then grabbed a bit of the ramp and ripped it off with unbelievable strength. He threw it at Ant, but Knuckles came in front of him and caught it just in time.

Tails flew to Strike and used his wind powers on him. He was trying to blow the anger out of him, but it didn't work. Strike then shot red electric lasers out of his eyes at Tails. Tails was able to avoid them, "Whoa!"

Tails quickly took out his arm cannon and fired it at Strike. The blast hit him hard in the face. Strike yelled in pain from the blast and impact. He then created strong wind with his arms at Tails, and Tails was blown away.

Applejack caught Strike with her whip, but Strike then grabbed it and pulled on it hard, pulling Applejack towards him. He swung his leg at her, but Applejack ducked backwards sliding under the attack. She then did a roundhouse kick to Strike's back.

Strike was knocked onto the ground. He got up growling more. Reaper created a pair of fire chains, "Sorry for this, Strike."

The fire chains went all around Strike to prevent him from moving. Strike pulled out his sword and cut them all out of existence in a second. Reaper then created a fire orb between his hands and threw a blast of fire at Strike. Strike held his sword in front of him and blocked the fire.

Strike then held up his sword and it absorbed the fire. He then launched it back at Reaper, and it launched Reaper off into the archery wall. Reaper grunted in pain, "AGH!"

Strike then came to Reaper and picked him up. He threw him into to the water. Reaper yelled in utter pain; he seemed to be burning. He quickly got out as quickly as he could. He panted as the steam around him went away.

"I hate water," Reaper said, "Uh, guys, little help. I can't make any fire."

Strike charged right at Reaper, but electric blue fire chains blocked him, thanks to Ghostspeed. Ghostspeed went into his other form and used his chains to grab Strike. Ghostspeed swung his chains over him, swinging Strike high into the air. But when Strike was at the ground, he landed on his feet. He vibrated and phased out of the chains, and then he grabbed them and pulled Ghostspeed towards him.

Strike grabbed Ghostspeed by the neck, and then threw him over. Ghostspeed hit one of the Shadowbolts' bikes, destroying it. Shadow charged at Strike using his hover shoes. He threw his Chaos Spears at him, and they hit him in the shoulder. Then right as Shadow was about to attack Strike, Strike kicked Shadow hard in the stomach.

Strike went on his knees and coughed from the strong kick. Shadow spoke, "Strike, you have to come to your senses."

Strike looked at Shadow as his eyes glowed brighter. He shot red electric lasers out of his eyes again, and they hit Shadow in his stomach. Shadow was launched right into the scoreboard, breaking it. Shadow fell onto the ground and the broken scoreboard was about to fall onto him, but Sunset came and she quickly got him away.

Manic had an idea. He rubbed his medallion and it transformed into his drums. He played the drums and fired green lasers at Strike. Strike dodged the blasts with his speed. Manic then sent music blasts at Strike, but Strike ducked his head back. However, the sound from the blast really got to his ears.

Strike got a little disoriented. Pinkie charged at Strike with her cannon. She held it up to Strike's face and fired it. Strike was launched off.

Strike got up again. He growled and yelled, "WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING ME!? I AM DOING WHAT MUST BE DONE!"

Reaper grabbed Strike's shoulders from behind, "No. You're doing what your father wants. He wants you to be like Vezon."

"RRRGGH!" Strike growled, "GET OFF ME!"

Strike shook Reaper off and punched him really hard in the stomach. Reaper groaned and couched hard from the impact. "You leave me no choice."

Reaper yelled as his hair went on fire. His dragons appeared, and then he grew giant fire wings on his back. They all began to charge at Strike. Strike took out his sword and summoned his dragons. Now the dragons were red lightning and energy.

Strike pointed his sword at Reaper, and his dragons charged. They bit Reaper's dragons by the tails and pulled them into the sky. Strike then threw his sword at Reaper and it cut the wings.

Reaper fell onto the ground. He then got right up and tried to uppercut Strike, but his fist went right through him. Reaper was shocked, "Hey, that's my move!"

"Is it?" Strike asked.

Strike suddenly grabbed Reaper really hard by the neck and began to chock him hard. The grip was so strong; Reaper couldn't focus to escape. He breathed fire out of his mouth onto Strike, but it wasn't affecting him.

"Weak," Strike said, "Let me show you how it is really done."

Strike breathed electric fire out of his mouth onto Reaper. Reaper yelled in utter pain. When Strike stopped, Reaper's fire hair was back to normal.

Reaper groaned weakly, "I guess Specter was wrong about you. You're not a hero. You're a monster. And you're weak."

Strike suddenly punched Reaper hard in the jaw, making him groan more in pain. "How is that for weak?" Strike asked.

"You can't even stop Vezon," Reaper groaned, "You don't deserve that power."

Strike lifted Reaper into the air, and then he smashed his head into the ground. He then turned him over and held out his sword at his neck.

"Go ahead," Reaper groaned, "Prove that you're not what we thought you were. Prove you're no more than Vezon's puppet. Kill me."

Strike wasn't showing any hesitation. He was right about to shove his sword onto Reaper, but then… CLANG! Sunset had blocked Strike's sword with her Chaos Sword.

Strike slowly turned his head to Sunset, "You on the other hand, Sunset Shimmer, I have seen your actions, on proving that you could be a worthy opponent."

Sunset pushed Strike's sword upward, and then she kicked him in the stomach. Strike held up his sword as it began to get covered up red lightning and energy.

"Now we shall see what you can do," Strike said.

(Posthumus – Pompeii playing)

Strike rushed right at Sunset and slashed his sword at her, but Sunset blocked the attack with her sword. She then blasted Strike in the face with her Morpher, making him step back and drop his sword. The sword disappeared and reappeared in Strike's holster.

Sunset put her sword away. She jumped up in the air and then went thrusting right at Strike. Strike saw her coming and dodged backwards. Right as Sunset landed, Strike rushed at her to attack her. He began to give her a whole bunch of super speed punches and kicks, but Sunset dodged every one of them. Strike then began appearing here and there to fool Sunset.

Strike then gave Sunset a strong uppercut, launching her into the air. Strike jumped up and threw his fist at her, but Sunset then dodged the throw and kicked Strike hard in the back, sending him down to the ground.

Strike went down to the ground, making a big hole in it. Sunset landed next to it. Then right as Strike got up, he rushed right around her and threw her up in the air. He gave a whole bunch of air attacks, and then he kicked her hard into the bleachers, and she went through making a whole in the bleachers.

Sunset got up groaning in pain. Strike rushed right at her with his speed, but Sunset got right up and sent a wave of cyan green energy throughout the area, and it affected Strike's speed. Sunset was able to counter any attack he had. She then punched Strike in the face right as the effects wore off and sent him flying through the bleachers, making another hole.

Strike got up, but he saw Sunset was nowhere to be seen. He then suddenly realized Sunset was right about behind him about to attack. Strike turned right around and blocked her punch. Strike then rushed around Sunset and tried to sneak-attack her, but Sunset didn't fall for it. She turned to Strike and blocked his kick.

Strike and Sunset threw their right fists right at each other. The blow gave a windy-blowing result. Strike and Sunset were knocked back from each other, but they stopped themselves and charged at each other again.

Strike began to run in super speed circles around Sunset. He came right to a halt and threw lightning at her, but Sunset did a backflip over it. She then grabbed Strike's shirt, "Chaos Control!"

Sunset and Strike were suddenly teleported out of the field. They appeared in a huge cave where people were mining for gold and crystals, but no one was there. Strike and Sunset were fighting on one of the bridges.

Strike grabbed Sunset and threw her into one of the mine cars full of rocks. Sunset grabbed the rocks and threw them all at Strike, but Strike punched them all to pieces. Sunset then fired her Morpher at the bridge, and it broke. Strike fell off and landed in huge pool of water.

Strike got out growling as his flaming hair grew. Sunset was then right in front of him and gave him a strong uppercut and a really strong jab to his stomach, launching him into a big pile of gold stones.

Strike jumped right out of the gold yelling as he charged at Sunset. Sunset jumped right over him before he slammed his fist at her. Sunset then saw a tunnel with some light coming from the other side. She went inside and Strike followed her.

Sunset and Strike were on a bridge over a large pit of lava. Strike threw a punch at Sunset, and threw one at Strike. The punches landed on each other. The piece of the bridge they were standing on broke and fell into the lava. Strike and Sunset jumped off and landed on rock platforms.

Sunset begged, "Strike, please, you can't do this. This isn't the way."

"I don't care," Strike growled, "Both my girlfriend and my best friend are gone. I won't anyone else I care about get taken from me, unless they stand in my way, including YOU!"

Strike pulled out his sword from his holster and it crackled in red electricity. Sunset got the courage and pulled out her sword prepared.

Strike charged at Sunset with his sword and slashed, but Sunset blocked the attack. Their swords began colliding really fast and every single attack was blocked by each other. Strike then swung his leg and kicked Sunset's sword out of her hand. It landed close to the lava.

Strike grabbed Sunset and thrust her onto the ground on her back. Sunset took out her Morpher and tried to blast Strike, but Strike slapped the Morpher out of Sunset's hand.

(Stop soundtrack)

Strike held up his sword, "I warned you."

"Yes, you did," Sunset said, "So I know that you have to still be in there somewhere. You have to fight it, Strike. You have to fight it! Otherwise, you're not any different… than Vezon!"

"Vezon… no…" Strike said.

Sunset could then somehow hear Shadow's voice in her head, "Sunset, listen to me. I know a way for you to save him. You have to kiss him. It's the only way that will bring him back."

Sunset nodded, "I understand, Shadow."

Strike held up his sword about to slash while yelling, but then Sunset grabbed Strike's shirt and pulled his head towards hers. She suddenly kissed Strike right on the lips focusing the amount of Friendship magic she still had in her to save him.

Strike was wide-eyed in shock, but then he relaxed and slowly kissed her back as he dropped his sword and it went back into his holster. Vezon's voice was yelling in anger as Strike and Sunset embraced each other, "NO! NO! STOP!"

Sunset and Strike were surrounded by bright white aura as Strike began to turn back to normal. His colors turned back to the original colors, his hair was back to its original look, his veins stopped glowing, and the blackness of his eyes were white again and his irises were back to cerulean blue. His sword turned back to the way that it original was, and his lightning and energy were back to bright blue.

Strike then tumbled to the ground feeling really exhausted, but Sunset helped him up. She grabbed her sword and Morpher and said, "Chaos Control."

Sunset and Strike teleported back to the playing field, and all their friends were there.

"Strike, are you all right?" Breeze asked.

"I'm fine, just a little exhausted," Strike said.

"Sunset, how did you save him?" Sonic asked.

"Shadow told me the way," Sunset answered.

Shadow nodded, "I knew you could do it."

"Strike," Reaper said, "Those things I said-"

"You're right," Strike said, "I'm not worthy to have this power."

Strike suddenly ran off with his speed. "Shoot," Reaper said, "I shouldn't have said that to him. I didn't really mean it."

"It's not your fault, Reaper," Tails said.

"Man, it feels just like how it happened when he lost his girlfriend, but even worse," Spider said.

Everyone else sighed. But then, all of a sudden, Sonic was grabbed by something. It was Metal with his arm around Sonic's neck.

"Gotcha," Metal said.

"Should've seen you coming," Sonic said.

"And you should have seen this coming as well," Metal said.

Metal held his other arm up, and then he shot a blue laser. It suddenly flashed and became a bright blue vortex.

"What the-!?" Silver said.

"He opened a breach!" Rarity said.

Metal then threw Sonic right into the breach and Sonic yelled as he went into it and it disappeared.

"SONIC! NO!" Rainbow yelled, before she growled at Metal, "WHY!?"

"I didn't need to kill him to get my revenge," Metal said, "I decided that sending him to another realm would do the trick better so he would never come back. Now, who's n-"

Metal was suddenly shot in the head by Rainbow's Morpher, "You're gonna pay for that."

"Maybe, but not yet," Metal said.

Metal then vanished. Rainbow sighed as she and the other girls were back in their normal forms again. Manic put his hands on Rainbow's shoulder, "I'm sorry, Rainbow."

None of them knew that Rainbine was watching them from behind the bleachers with a sad face, and then she left.
