Chapters My Brave Pony: Starfleet (The Nice Changling)
Episode 1: Jewel's Discovery
One day in the magical planet of United Equestria, Jewel, the newest member of Starfleet was walking in the forest near New Ponyville.
Birds were chirping, and the sun was shining through the tree tops. Jewem was admiring the scenery when she her a moan.
"Ugh"
Jewel stopped and looked around. She pinpointed the sound coming from behind a tree. Carefully, she went to the tree and looked around the other side. She gasped at what she saw!
Lying up against the tree, beating, sore and weak was... a changeling!
The changeling looked at Jewel and hissed showing its fangs but stopped as a sting of pain shot through her body.
"Its okay," Jewel assured, " I not gonna hurt you. I just wanna help."
"I dont need any help," the changeling replied coldly. The changeling tried to stand up and walk away but it was in too much pain.
"Yes you do," Jewel stated, "you're too injured,"
Jewel kneeled down to the changeling and took off her travel pack (which she always carried with her). Then she opened it, pulling out cream, bandages and some food.
Jewel placed the cream on the changeling's bruises and applied the bandages. The changeling was in awe that Jewel would help her. When Jewel was done the changeling said,
"Ummm...thanks,"
Then the changeling's stomach rumbles and gurgles loudly.
"Ugh, I'm soooo hungry. I think stomach ls disgusting itself." it complained.
Jewel feels bad and hands the changeling an apple.
"Here you should eat this," Jewel recommend, "you need it."
"Sorry, but changeling do physical eat. We feed off of emotions like love." the changeling explained.
"Oooh," Jewel realized, "so how will you feed?," Jewel asked worried.
"Well if I can make a friend the love would sustain me but I don't think anypony would wanna be friends with a changeling." Its stomach growled again and she slumped forward.
"You already made a friend." Jewel added.
"Really who?," the changeling asked.
"Me." Jewel stated. The changeling for the first time since they met smiled.
"My name is Crystal," the changeling introduced, " What's your name?,"
"My name is Jewel."
My Brave Pony: Starfleet (The Nice Changling)
Jewek arrived on the dining area where all here friends are: Lighting Dawn, Starla Shine, Artie Bristles, Rhymey and the spanish twins: Dyno and Myte La Guava.
"Hey everybody," Jewel greeted
"Hi Jewel," Everybody greeted
"Aynthing exciting happen today?," Lighting asked.
Jewel was starting to nervously sweat,
N-Nope nothing exciting. Hehehe," she replied.
Jewek sat down at the table and ate her breakfast a little fast. Then she got up,
"Well that was delicious.... well see y'all,"
With that Jewel dashed out of the door, leaving the others a little confused. Jewel went back to her room. Before she entered, she looked down side to side to see if any of her friends followed her. Luckily, they didn't.
Jewel entered the room. Going to the closet, Jewel opens the door.
"How are you doin in there Crystal?" Jewel asked.
"Great," Crystal replied, "thanks for the hospitality Jewel,"
"Aww Crystal, its no problem at all. I just hope nobody finds out," Jewel stated.
Unknown by the two girls, Grand Ruler and his wife, Queen Celestia were peeking into the room. They did not like what they saw.
Soon they held a meeting with Lighting, his unit, Princess Cadnece and Shining Armor, Twilight's sister-in-law and brother. They told everybody what they saw and gasped.
"A changeling", "What is Jewel thinking?" "That thing must have brainwashed her like the Incesetos did with Shining Armor" Lighting, Starla and Artie stated.
Grand Ruler raises his hand and everybody calmed down.
"We understand that a changeling is a serious threat, but we have to know for sure!"
For the next week, everybody secertly kept watch over Jewel and Crystal. Crystal didn't show any intention to hurt Jewel. But they couldn't take any chances with their teammates safety.
Then one night Jewel and Crystal were walking to the throne room,
"Thanks for everything Jewel," Crystal thanked.
"Your welcome"
Entering the throne room, they noticed the lights were off,
"Why are all the lights off?" Crystal asked. Suddenly the light came on. Jewel and Crystal found themselves surrounded by Lighting and the gang a well as Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia. They had their weapons and magic drawn, ready to attack! Crystal screamed in fear and his behind Jewel.
"*Gulp* Wh-what's going on? Ehehe" Jewel asked nervously.
"Don't play dumb with us Jewel!" Lightning scolded in a stern voice,
"We know that you'd been hiding your changeling friend," Celestia added.
"How could you let the enemy in here Jewel?" Grand Ruler demanded, furious.
"Crystal is a good changeling now. She doesn't want to be one of Chrysallis's drones anymore," Jewel reasoned desperately.
The gang didnt buy it.
"Yea right she's proberly a spy
Ready to steal your love and eat it like a slice of pie," Rhymey accused.
Crystal came out from behind Jewel,
"Really, I'm a good changeling now," she added.
"Oh yea?" Celsetia challenged, "Prove to us that you dont want to be with Chrysallis anymore"
Jewel and Crystal looked at each other and nodded. The girls began to sing a song with Crystal as the lead singer about how she doesn't like Chrysallis.

Lyrics:
(Crystal)
She is just a problem
She can be a pain
She always acts just like she
think I have got no brain
Sometimes she's enough
To drive this girl insane
Whoa... Oh, Chrysalis!
She treats me like a baby
Like I'm so small I'll break
And then she screams
and yells when I make
One mistake
All her rules are more
than this one girl can take
Oh... Oh, Chrysalis!
(Jewel)
Kill this, kill that
You should fine to kill this
She drives me crazy every single day
(Crystal)
Destroy, Destroy
I can't take her anymore
(Both)
That's why I dislike her everyday
(Both)
I know that she is evil
She only wants revenge
The way yells and commands
It makes this girl so mad
(Crystal)
I wanna tell her, "Chrysalis..."
(Jewel)
"...Give it a rest!"
(Crystal)
Oh... Chysailis!
(Jewel)
Ya make me wanna shoot you
(Crystal)
Ya make me wanna shout
(Both)
Find somebody else that
you can pass on your ways!
Please/please,
Please/Oh
Don't be such a bug
Chrysalis...
Don't be such a bug...
Please, please, please
Chrysalis
The song diminished the gang's suspicions a little,
"Okay so you're not with Chrysalis, but how do we know you've really changed?," Artie asked.
Jewel then stepped forward and sang a song to prove that Crystal is reformed.

Everybody realized that they were wrong to judge Crystal just because she's a changeling. And that their history with changelings was not pretty. They all learned a lesson.
Sometimes you have to get to know a person, pony or changeling to fully know their intentions whether good or bad.
"We're sorry Crystal that we didn't get to know you first. Mayne we can start that now?" Grand Ruler offered. Crystal was over joyed.
"That be so great. I wanna learn all about friendship then maybe I can take that knowledge back to the changeling kingdom," Crystal exclaimed, "if my kind learn how to make love for one another, maybe we won't have to take it from others."
"I think that will work just fine," Queen Celestia agreed.
Everybody then started to sing a song about how they were all the same now.

Lyrics:
(Lighting, Grand Ruler)
We thought that you were just a spy
So crafty and easily can lie
We really thought there was no way we were the same
(Crystal)
You had to look past what you see
Try not to judge so easily
Believe it or not, I'm a lot like you
Say believe it or not, I'm a lot like you
Sisi ni sawa means we're all the same
(Sisi ni sawa)
(Lighting and Grand Ruler)
We hear what you're saying, but you had to explain
(Sisi ni sawa)
(Crystal)
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa, we're all the same
My kind is bad and yours is good
But take a look under the fur
Deep in my heart is what matters for sure
(Sisi ni sawa)
'Cause we all know a higher call
Like every creature big and small
A peaceful world should be what's guiding us all
A peaceful word will guide us all
Sisi ni sawa means we're all the same
(Sisi ni sawa)
(Lighting and Grand Ruler)
Though you've got your spots, and I have a mane
(Crystal)
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa, we're all the same
(Everybody)
Sisi ni sawa, we are the same
(Lighting)
Never thought that we'd see eye-to-eye
(Crystal)
I can't imagine why
It's very easy if you try
(Sisi ni sawa)
(Grand Ruler)
Still, to me, they're brand new thoughts
Not to judge a changeling by the past!
(Crystal)
Sisi ni sawa!
Sisi ni sawa means we're all the same
(Everybody)
Forget about the past
Cause there's nothing to gain
(Sisi ni sawa)
(Everybody)
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa, we're all the same
(Sisi ni sawa)
Sisi ni sawa means we're all the same
(Sisi ni sawa)
Forget about the past when there's nothing to gain
(Sisi ni sawa)
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa, we're all the same
(Sisi ni sawa)
Sisi ni sawa, we're all the same
(Crystal)
Sisi ni sawa, we're all the same
My Brave Pony: Starfleet (The Nice Changling)
Episode 4: Jewel in Danger
Its been two months since the Starfleet ponies accepted Crystal into their society. Quickly she made lots of friends, which satisfied her hunger. Now she doesn't need to feed off of ponies anymore. Crystal owned all of this to Jewel, if not for her, she would still be the enemy.
Jewel longed to repay Jewel for her kindness, but found out hard to do so since she had pretty much everything in the palace. Until one faithful morning...
Crystal woke up and came out of her closet.
"Morning Jewel" she called.
For some reason Jewel didn't respond. Crystal looked at Jewel's bed and saw a lump that she thought was Jewel.
"Hello Jewel" Crystal called again. No answer again.
Crystal approached the lump and removed the covers....she screamed.
"AAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
Crystal's screams were so loud she woke up everyone in the palace who came rushing in.
"Whats wrong Crystal?", "Whats going on?" Lighting and Starla asked.
Then they soon saw what Crystal screamed about....Jewel was gone!
"Where did Jewel go?" Crystal asked in a panic.
"Crystal calm down lets check the secerity cameras to see what happened." Grand Ruled said.
Everybody went and checked the cameras and were horrifed at what they saw!
A royal guard walked into Jewel's bedroom and used it magic to blind and gag Jewel. The guard changed and it was revealed that it was Queen Chrysalis in disguise. Jewel tried to call for help but it was fruitless. Chrysalis then teleported away with Jewel captive.
"Galloping Galaxies!" Lighting exclaimed.
"Poor Jewel," Dyno stated.
"We gotta rescue her!" Myte added.
"Right lets go!" Grand Ruler exclaimed.
Everybody knew that Chysailis most likely took Jewel to her and Sombra's hideout at Blacktop Mountain. They transformed and were about to head out when...
"Guys wait you can't just burst in and battle Chrysalis." Crystal stated.
"Que?" Dyno asked,
"Why not?" Myte added.
"Because Chrysalis's has an ancient throne that will soak up all of your attacks the same way Changelings soak up love. It's how she keeps the hive safe." Crystal explained.
That made everybody worry.
"Now what?" Artie asked.
"Well first youll need to find where Chrysalis is holding Jewel captive, which is most likely her throne room. I can lead you there no problem." Crystal added.
Everybody agreed and their majesties teleported everybody to Blacktop Mountain, Chrysalis and Sombra's hideout.
Crystal immediately began leading the group to the throne room while singing a song from her heart and Chrysalis at the same time.

Lyrics:
(Chrysalis)
This plan is going to be full proof
The kind of plan of which I dreamed since I was small
I just drain Jewel of her love
The Ill turn her to a drone
And then Starfleet will be begging for their lives
(Crystal)
This plan was going to be full proof
The kind of plan of which I dreamed since I was small
But instead of having cake
With all my best friend to celebrate
We have to go before she falls under her control
(Chrysalis)
I could care less about the threats
I won't partake in any slips
Now Starfleet will be crying when I say
"That your little precious teammate
Has turned over to the dark side
And now she part of my army
Starfleet will meet their demise
In my heart they'll be destroyed
And it's all thanks to my plan
(Crystal)
We must locate before it's too late
Find a way to save our friend
Hope, I'll be lying if I say
"I don't fear that I may lose her
To the one who wants to use her
Not care for love and cherish her each day"
For I oh your friend my life
Our friendship is not a price
Oh Admiral Jewel
I'll be there very soon
(Chrysalis)
Finally the moment has arrived
For me to be one lucky bug
(Crystal)
Oh, we're gonna be too late
She's gonna turn Jewel to the dark
My best buddy will be…
(Chrysalis)
Mine. All mine.
By the end of the song the gang reached the throne room and peeked inside. They sat Jewel inside a green cocoon, hanging upside-down and. Sombra and Chrysalis was talking to her.
"Let me out!" Jewel demand.
"Haha not a chance," Sombra replied.
"Once I drain the love out of you, I'll change you into one of my drones. Then I'll order you to destroy all your love ones." Chrysalis added.
Jewel tried to break the cocoon opened by pushing it open with no success.
"Don't even try to break that cocoon, only a changeling can break it. And without your dinos your powerless to stop us." Sombra explained.
Sombra was holding Jewel's dino bracer and card holders.
"Now shall we get started then"
Chrysalis licked her lips preparing to drain Jewel of all her love.
Jewel gulped nervously.
"Guys, I could really use your help right about now. I am gonna be bug lunch," she thought.
Suddenly, many projectiles came and landed between Chrysalis and Jewel!
"What?" Sombra gasped.
He and Chysailis turned and saw the Starfleet gang and Crystal.
"How did you get in here?" Sombra demanded.
"With the help of a friend." Lighting answered. Sombra and Chrysalis saw Crystal and were outraged!
"How dare you betray us Crystal!" Chrysalis yelled.
"I did it because I saw sick and tired of being one of your drones." Crystal retorted.
"Now give us back our friend!" Artie demanded.
"If you want her then youll have to get pass us first." Sombra challenged. He and Chrysalis dashed towards the ponies. The Starfleet ponies charged and engaged in battle. Sombra kicked and punched thier majesties hard, sending them crashing into the ground. Chrysalis fired large beam of magic at Lighting and his friends sending them flying back. Their suits were almost ready to de-energize.
Meanwhile, Crystal made it to Jewel's cocoon.
"Crystal, you came for me." Jewel said.
"Of course. Now lets get you out of here."
Crystal used ber changeling magic to break open the cocoon and set Jewel free. Jewel fell to the ground and stood up.
"Phew, thanks" Jewel praised.
Suddenly the two heard Chrysallis's laugh and hid behind a rock. They peeked out and were horrifed at what they saw!
Lighting, his friends, Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia were surrounded by changeling drones! Lighting and his team's suit were gone meaning they were de-energized. The changeling minions placed goop and their hand and feet making it impossible to move!
"Hahah, now I say its time to get rid of you, once and for all!" Sombra suggested. The gang did not like the sound of that.
In our next episode...Jewel and Crystal find a way to free their caputered friends without Sombra and Chrysalis noticing. Can they pull it off?
Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic....Rescue and Duel

Episode 2: Crystal's Past
Crystal and her newfound friends Jewel were having an interesting conversation.
"So Crystal, how come you're out here all alone?" Jewel asked.
Crystal sighed and she explained,
"From the very first time I hatched in the nursey hive. I've always wanted a friend. But the other changelings said that friendship was a nuisance. I believed that one day I would find a friend to share love with but everybody that I tried to be friends with ran away because I'm a changeling.
I was part of the invasion of United Equestria. But unlike the other changelings I couldn't feed off the friendships that I saw from the ponies. I wanted to share it.
After the failed invasion, I knew I couldn't live with my kind anymore. When I was leaving Queen Chysailis heard and sent all of her, still loyal , drones to attack me. I barely escaped with my life. Then, I set out looking for love to share. Unitl I crashes into this tree and met you."
Jewel was shedding some tears at Crystal's sad past.
"Maybe you can more friends," Jewel stated, "Why dont you come to New Canterlot with me?" Jewel offered.
"Oooh, no, if any of those Starfleet ponies see me they will destroy me on the spot!" Crystal feared.
"Well you can hide in my pack till we get to my room," Jewel added. Crystal thought about it and reluctantly agreed to it.
Crystal managed to squeeze into Jewel's pack and Jewel teleported to her bedroom in New Canterlot unnoticed. Crystal crawled out of her pack.
"Nice room," she complimented.
"Thanks." Jewel praised.
Then, Jewel's stomach growled loudly,
"Hehe sounds like I could use some breakfast. Ylu should hide in here till I come back. Change into a lamp, that way no one will suspect anything." Jewel explained.
Crystal changed into a pink lamp. Then Jewel placed her near her bedside. Jewel left the room to go to the dining room.
