Love in Dimensions

It’s been a couple of weeks since Striker moved into Ponyville and a lot has happened. Striker has already made friends with everyone in the down, including Applejack and Rarity's sisters, Apple bloom and Sweetie Belle, and an orange filly that look up to Rainbow Dash named Scootaloo. So far, everything was going fine for Striker and his new town. What he was doing today, and what he has been doing for a couple of days, was running test on the flower he had found under the staircase at the train station. He had placed the flower in a machine of his lab in the basement of the house.

"Alright, let's see what kind of healing factors you have," said Striker as he set the flower that was sitting in a pot into the machine.

The machine able to see healing and scan the state the flower or whatever was in it. Striker then quickly hit the switch that had caused electric witch zapped the flower.

"Ok let's see here," said Striker was looking at his computer, "wait.... what the?"

From the readings from his computer, the flower was showing that the flower was supporting a life force that was the same as a pony's life.

The machine started to overflow with electric and began to overheat.

"ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!" went Striker computer as red lights began to flash all over the place.

"UH OH!" yelled Striker as he ducked for cover under the table.

The machine then exploded and black smoke started to fill up the room. What Striker failed to noticed was that something had rushed out of the smoke and into the town.

"(Cough), (Cough), Oh boy that was a bigger explosion than normal, what could have happened?" asked Striker.

All of a sudden he could he scream coming from outside followed by other explosions.

"What the hey is going on?" he asked.

He rushed outside to what was going on. Then he saw what was causing the explosions. In the sky he could see a peach colored Pegasus with a tail, spikey, black mane cut. He was exploding tops of building with energy beams coming from one of his fore hooves. He was wearing a red trench coat and a strange gauntlet with seemed to have the same technical equipment as Striker.

"Ha ha, it's been awhile since a killed a Norms," said the mysterious pony.

"You there, STOP IT!" shouted Twilight as she a shot a magical blast from her horn at the pony attacking the town.

As the beam of magic made contact with the pony, it just disappeared and had no effect on him. The pony then slowly turned around to glare down at Twilight. He looked at her with anger which had turned into a grin as he took a small sphere of energy a threw it at her. Striker could felt the amount of energy from that blast and knew that it was enough to kill Twilight. Twilight's eyes filled with fear and froze in placed as the blast came closer and closer to her. And then to her surprised, Striker flew in front of her and smacked the ball of energy away to the mountain nearby. The gang, who was nearby getting every other pony to safety, saw this and was also shocked, but none more so than Rainbow and Fluttershy. The pony attack was also shocked.

"Well I knew that I sensed an energy that surpassed everyone else's. Tell me, what is your name?" asked the pony.

Striker stood there just staring at the pony who descended from the air to the ground. The pony stood on two hooves instead of four. This had begun to made Striker to sweat, know knowing what he is, but still wondering where he came from. Soon after getting everyone to safety, the rest of the gang joined up.

"The silent type huh, fine I'll go first. I'm Ike, once prince of all Speacyians," said Ike with a smirk.

"What the hey is a Speacyian?" asked Applejack.

"Oh you don't know, your friend right there is one of them," said Ike right before Striker lashed out.

"You shut your mouth! I am not like you monsters and I don't ever want be called one!" yelled Striker in a furious tone in voice which startled the rest of his friends.

"Y... you know what he is Striker?" asked Fluttershy as she felt afraid of asking.

"Oh come now Striker, just tell the truth. Or perhaps I'll show them myself," said Ike as he raised his front left hoof which revealed a marking on it which was the same as the one on Striker's right front hoof.

The symbol was a DNA stripe that flashed with a bunch of colors that looked a lot like a rainbow hot spring.

"Striker, isn't that your birthmark?" asked Rainbow.

Ike began to laugh as Striker began to grunt.

"Oh wow, is that what you've been telling them Striker, HHAA, wow that’s a big lie," laughed Ike, "That is outstanding, that you would lie like that to your friends."

Striker became angrier by the second.

"Now hear this Striker, I challenge you to a fight and if you dare to decline," said as he quickly vanished, grabbed Rainbow, and vanished back to where he was stand before, now with the gauntlet having a small blade of light coming out of it which was next to Rainbow's neck," I'll kill this one."

The gang gasped and Rarity was starting to faint.

"Let her go you big trouble maker," said Applejack .

Striker began to glow with a light blue aura around him and his eyes were filled with rage as he grinding his teeth.

"GET YOUR DIRTY HOOVES OFF MY LOVE!" growled Striker as he lunged forward at Ike.

Striker hooved him in the face hard enough to let go of Rainbow without her getting hurt. Striker sent Ike flying into a large rock witch cracked into a punch of pieces and now Striker was also standing on two hooves. The gang's jaw's drop in total shock, especially Rainbow, but it wasn't what Striker did more so what he said. She looked up at him and saw a different pony then she knew, with rage in his eyes, and knowing how he felt about her. As she got off the ground, she and the rest of the gang heard a loud yell coming from the crushed rocks. Ike had aura around him that shatter the rock off of him has he yelled. At first his face only showed anger. However, he put a smile on as he wiped the blood off his face from the scar which was left from Striker, chuckling as he licked it. After he was done he then spoke.

"So, do you accept my challenge or do I actually need to destroy this entire town?" asked Ike who folded his front hooves.

"Damn it; he isn't going to leave if I don't," Striker thought to himself.

"Twilight, where is the wasteland you and Tirek left after your fight?" asked Striker.

"Wait what are you..." said Twilight before she was caught off.

"Just tell me!"

Twilight, not wanting to get Striker more upset, she pointed her hoof and said, "Behind those mountains."

Striker then focus back to Ike. He had taken his jacket off and when it hit the ground it made a heavy thumb noise as if it was made of metal.

"Alright, I'll fight you," said Striker as his light blue aura came back," follow me" he said as he flew at an incredible speed, almost the same speed as Rainbow Dash, but without using his wings.

Ike took one more look at the gang and said, “Once I'm done I'm coming back to kill you all, so I would try to escape is I were you, even though its futile."

Ike soon cased after Striker with a purple aura and without out his wings as while. It took a couple of seconds until one of the friends to say something.

"What just happened?" asked Spike.

"And what is with this jacket he left, it feels as if it were made of boulder, I can barely hold it," said Rarity who struggled to hold Striker's jacket.

"I don't know but I'm going after them," said Rainbow as she was about to take flight before being pulled back by Twilight's magic.

"Are you CRAZY?!? You don't know what might happen over there. Besides, Striker wouldn't won't you to see..." rambled Twilight before she was stop again.

"Twilight, you should know that I LIVE for danger. Plus, this is one of my closest friends and I'm going to at least support him!" shouted Rainbow.

"I must agree with Rainbow, whatever Striker is doing, we need to be there to support our friend," said Fluttershy with an eager tone that surprised the rest of the group.

"That's the spirit Flutters, come let's go! “said Rainbow in an enthusiastic matter.

"Oh fine, but will go somewhere where it would be safe. Everyone come close, I'll teleport us there," said Twilight.

"This still seems all very weird to me," said Rarity.

"But weird could be fun!" said Pinkie with a smile to cheer up her friends a bit.

"While I guess were about to find out how weird things are going to get," said Applejack.

And with that, Twilight teleported them to the top of a rock pillar in the wasteland left after the fight between Twilight and Tirek. From there, they could see Striker and Ike landing on their own pillar.

"Twilight, we could barely see or hear them," said Rainbow.

Twilight rolled her eyes and used the same magical diagram that she used during the Flutterbat problem; only this time using it as if it was a camera and made it focused on Striker and Ike. With this they were able to see and hear everything going on.

"So this where you choose for your burial, Light?" ask Ike with a grin.

"Your over confident," said Striker also with a slight smile.

"We'll see who's over confident once I'm done with you," said Ike.

"Yes, we will, but first, I have a question."

"Huh?"

"Where did you come from?" asked Striker.

"Well I'm kind of glad you asked. As you see, I was in a kind of hibernation in a certain form. You may say in that form I would be able to photosynthesis."

"What so that means..." said Striker with a worried expression.

"That right; I was that flower that YOU decided to run test on," said Ike.

The gang was in Shock when they heard this.

"Wait, what? How? Huh?" went the gang one-by-one.

"So it's my fault his here," thought Striker.

"If that is all you 'needed' to know, I would like to start to kill you," said Ike as he went into a stance that Striker.

"So it's going to be one of those stories," thought Striker as he knew who also uses that stance (Vegeta:]), “I guess that means the other stance is mine."

Striker then went in to the stance that he was thinking of(Goku). They both stared at each other for another second before a small rock fell. The sound of it had made them both tensed and charger at each other in a speed that even surprised Rainbow. They both threw hooves at each other as they dodge each other’s. They moved so swiftly through the air. This had gone for a bit.

"This...this....my brain hurts," said Rainbow as she slowly rubbed her head in confusion.

"This is unbelievable; Striker is..." said Rarity.

"IS AWESOME! Look at him go! It's like something I've seen in one of those cool action movie, only faster and way cooler when it is so close!" shouted Spike as he tried his very best to imitate Striker.

A few seconds later, Striker and Ike's hoovess fighting came to a halt as a hoof from each of them hit into the other one's face, causing them to separate. Shortly after, Ike hooved Striker far away from himself and started to fire a barrage of energy blast at Striker. After being stunned a bit from the punch from Ike, Striker quickly shot an energy beam that got rid of the barrage. This caused some dust to pick up and left the gang's jaw drop. Above Striker was Ike who then put his two hoof together and smacked Striker. Striker was hit into the ground on his back. Just then Ike came down and stomped on Striker's chest. Striker screamed in pain as he coughed a bit of blood. Ike picked him up by one of his hind hoof and threw him into a nearby pillar.

"Gasp," went the gang, Fluttershy almost about to cry.

Rainbow was starting to get worried, really worried for Striker, but it was more than worried. She had never felt this way about Striker before. Maybe it’s because of what Striker said about her when he saved her.

"My love," thought Rainbow to herself.

Ike was now on the ground, still stand from where he threw Striker, folding his hooves. The rubble from where Striker was thrown began to move as Striker got up. He was covered in dust and had a few scratches on him with blood oozing out.

"You’re not bad Striker, your better than I imagined, but your still no match for me," said Ike in his cocky attitude.

Striker smiled from him actually enjoying this and said, “You underestimate me."

"Huh" said Ike as his smile went away.

"Because I have yet to so you my true power. Here let me show you," said Striker as his aura began to glow red, "KAIOKEN!" yelled Striker with a new red aura and 6 pack became more visible.

"Kaio what!" Ike and the gang began to ask before Ike was cut off when saying 'what' from Striker upper cutting him into the air.

Ike stopped himself from going higher into the air by expanding his wings. Striker was heading for him, Ike was expecting him to hit him from the front, but was wrong because Striker quickly stopped in front of him, then went all around him and hit him from the side. This sent Ike flying right threw three pillars of rocks and finally into a cliff cave. The gang's jaw couldn't possible get any lower than it already was.

"So cool, Striker your amazing!" thought Rainbow as she looks at Striker with wide eyes, "How come he never told us before? He could have trusted us."

Ike had then done the same thing he had done back in town and destroyed the rock formation he was in, yelling out of rage. Then both he and Striker then landed back to the ground.

"I'm very impressed Striker, even though I find that uppercut you've done was so lame," said Ike.

"Don't call Princess Luna's uppercut lame!" yelled Striker as he quickly covered his mouth realizing what he just said, "Oops"

"Luna!" said the gang.

Ike started to crack up in laughter.

"HHHAAA a princess! You learned your fighting techniques from a princess! HHHAAAA"

"Most of them... hey that's not funny!" shouted Striker.

"Oh My God! You have no idea how funny that was," said Ike taking deep breaths from laughing.

"Are you done yet?" asked Striker.

"Oh... yes. Now let's continue this fight," said Ike as he vanished behind Striker and kicked him up into the air.

Quickly Striker turned and they once began to hoof each other while dodging each other’s swing. Striker was surprise that Ike was standing up to him while he was in Kaioken state. He knew that he had to turn it up a bit if he wanted to get rid of this threat.

"KAIOKEN TIMES 3!"

"Times what!" asked Ike when he was once again cut off at the word 'what' again.

This time, Striker was hitting him into a combo, where he sent flying straight and then moved so fast that not even Rainbow could him. He had gone to where Ike was heading and spin kicked him up into the air. This was making Ike very angry; the fact that he was being pushed around by a low class, a princess taught Speacyian. Finally, Striker gave Ike a mean right hook in the stomach and sent Ike flying into 5 rock pillars. The smashed rocks from the pillars fell on Ike. Strike had once again landed on the ground. But to his surprise, Ike has yelled his way out of the rock and was screaming at the top of his lungs. Ike was raging with electric surrounding his purple aura. Ike flew into the air and put his hooves to his left side, both so that the bottom of the hooves was still facing Striker.

"THAT'S IT! I'M GETTING SICK OF THIS! DIE STRIKER AND TAKE YOUR PLANET WITH YOU!"

"Oh no!" yelled Striker as he quickly put one of his hoof on top of the other, "KAME..." and then he bent them to his right side of his body, "...HAME..." and finally shot them back out again, "HAAAAAA!"

A huge light blue blast of energy at Ike.

" GALACTIC GUN, FIRE!" yelled Ike as he lunged his hooves forward and shot a huge purple blast of energy at the upcoming blue blast.

"WHAT THE HAY IS THAT, IT'S SO BRIGHT I CAN'T SEE!?" asked Applejack as she yelled to ask her friends.

The whole gang was covering their eyes as they could feel the entire area begin to shack as the blast collided into each other; both at the same strength.

"I HAVE NO IDEA!" yelled back Pinkie, "BUT IT SURE IS STRONG!"

"WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW STRIKER!? I PUT ALL MY ENERGY INTO THIS ATTACK AND NOW YOUR GOING TO PERISH!" yelled Ike as his veins started pop out of his head.

Striker knew that Ike was right, he wasn't going to last much longer. However, Striker knew he couldn't fail because if he did, Rainbow, Flutters, and everyone else would be gone. He knew what he was about to do was risky to his body, but it was worth it if it meant stopping Ike.

"KAIOKEN....TIMES....4!!!!"

Striker's body began to tense up to the point that his muscles were feeling pain. But this gave his Kamehameha more power than Ike's Galactic Gun. It lifted up closer and closer to Ike.

"NNNOOOOO!" yelled Ike as he was caught in the very powerful blue blast and was shot up into the air high enough that you couldn't see him.

Taking deep breaths, Striker dropped his arms to his sides as if he was carrying something for too long and couldn't take it no more. His body toned down from the Kaioken.

"h... He did it, he beat Ike," said Fluttershy.

However, after saying that, Ike's body hit back to the ground right next to Striker. He struggled to get up on to one of his knees. When he finally did, he felt Striker's shadow come over him. When looked up he saw Striker standing on two hooves with a raised hoof, as if he was going to blast his head off.

"Fine...you win.... just end it already," said Ike as looked back down with his eyes closed accepting his faith.  This had set some fear into Striker's friends. Was Striker really going to blast Ike's head off.

"No, “said Striker as he put his hoof down to his side.

"Wh..what?" asked Ike surprised.

Striker turned and started to walk back to Ponyville and said, “Like I said before, I'm not a monster like you, I don't enjoy killing others. Just leave and don't come back."

Ike picked himself up off the ground. Still holding one hoof with the other watched as Striker just left him there to live. This upset him a bit. He felt that leaving him to live, Striker was basically saying that he is stronger than him forever.

"ARRR, MARK MY WORD STRIKER, I'll be back, and next time, I WILL kill you!" yelled Ike as he quickly, but painfully made his way into the Everfree Forest.

Soon as Ike entered and vanished from sight, Striker's body began to collapse. When Rainbow saw this, she dashed to stop it from happening. Soon after Twilight teleported the rest to help aid Striker.

"Guys...What are you doing he..." said Striker before he was stopped by pain, "Never...mind that right now...ahh...just help me get to my home...Scorchwing will know what do to after that..."

Striker then passed out in Rainbows hooves. The gang then careful took him back to his home.
