My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: The New Member

It's been peaceful for the last four months. No attacks, just ponies going on with their buisness. Over the months, Jewel's magic had increased dramatically! She could even the most advanced spells. Her friends and their majesties were very proud of her.

But little did Jewel know, her magic would be out to the true test.

There was a magic show in New Ponyville and everybody, including their majesties, were going to see it. Jewel, Starla, Lighting and their majesties were in the front row.

Soon, a light red alicorn with a yellow mane came out on stage performing her tricks. Everybody loved her tricks, but their was one thing that annoued people....her bragging.

The alicorn's name was Sizzle. Sizzle went on about being trained by powerful creatures, boasting about there was nobody who could surpass her. "Oh Yea, well Jewel can take-" Starla tried to shout out, but Jewel covered her mouth, hoping Sizzle didn't hear it. Unfortunately she did.

"So, you believe that you a beat the Great Powerful Sizzle, huh? Why don't you come on up and show us what you can." Sizzle offered. Jewel was very hesitant.

"I....uh...um." Jewel replied.

"Well, little hayseed." Sizzle added. Lighting had heard enough. "Alright. That's it. I can't stand no more of this!" Lighting said and he took the stage. "You show her Lighting!" Starla cheered.

"Can you magic do this?" Lighting questioned. Lighting used his magic to create a lighting cloud and it shot out a rainbow lighting bolt that changed into the words 'United Equestria'. The crowd was impressed.

"Pffft. That's not impressive. This is impressive." Sizzle then used her magic on the lighting cloud and made it twirl around Lighting and when it stopped there were six lighting clouds. Sizzle then made them shock Lighting with electricity. Lighting yelled in pain and fell over. Starla and the entire crowd gasped. Starla rushed over to her husband.

"Lighting, are you okay?" She asked.

"Uggh. I'm good." Lighting moaned. Starla helped Lighting into the crowd. Their majesties have seen enough.

"Now it's our turn. Ready darling?" Grand Ruler asked. Celestia nodded.

With that, they took to the stage. The crowd was surprised and confident that the royal couple would put Sizzle in her place.

"Their majesties are going next"

"Ooh. Sizzle definately will be defeated."

"Go your majesties!"

"Ahh. So the royal couple comes. Think you have what it takes?" Sizzle asked.

"Oooooooooh." The crowd said. Nobody disrespects their majesties like that.

"Lets have the magic speak for itself." Grand Ruler challenged.

"Works for me" Sizzle said.

The alicorns began to show off their skills while singing a song.

You've been there and heard that now it's feeling old hat
Time to try something new in a bright royal shade
Like you know who

(Sizzle)

I've got a treat for you, lucky alicorns
Your favorite star, Sizzle, is fronting the show

So let's go

(Their Majesties)

Hey, we're all powered up, ready for our chance
We're all powered up, watch us sing and dance
We're all powered up

And everyone here loves looking at me

(Their Majesties)

Hello there, we're still here
Let us make ourselves clear
It's about time that you learned
That it's finally our turn
So watch us shine

(Sizzle)

While they light out
I'm just getting started
And when I make a promise I always come through
Challenging with me is not for the low-leveled
I've spent years at the top and I sure like the view-ooh-ooh-ooh I sure do

(Their Majesties)

But, hey, We're still powered up for a chance to prove
That we're powered up
We've got the groove
We're so fired up

(Their Majesties)

Wow, I'm all fired up

When it was over, not even their majesties couldn't even outclass Sizzle. "These alicorns aren't even a challenge. I want to duel with a real alicorn. And that alicorn will be.....you." Sizzle pointed to Jewel. Jewel gupled nervously.

"I challenge you to a magic duel tommorrow at high noon. And the winner is dubbed 'the most talented alicorn' and the loser.....leaves New Ponyville FOREVER! And if you forfeit your still considered the loser."

Everybody, including their royal majesties, gasped in shock. Sizzle packed everything up and left. Their majesties immediately held a meeting to discuss what happened. Lighting's friends were shocked!

"Leave New Ponyville. Forever?!"

"That's crazy!"

"Jewel, you can't go through with this."

"I have no choice, she said if I forfeit, then I'll be considered the loser and I'll still have to leave." Jewel explained.

"I....need some time....alone." Jewel added. Jewel put her head down and left the throne room to think.

"Poor chica." Dyno said.

"That alicorn's a jerk. Forcing our friend to duel with her and disrespecting their majesties!" Myte added.

"Master, do you think Jewel can win?" Lighting asked.

"We have all seen what Jewel is capable of. But I think she's scared to show off her talents in front of a crowd." Grand Ruler replied.

"Scared? Of what?" Artie asked.

"When Sizzle was showing off her magic skills and bragging about herself, the crowd was annoyed. I think Jewel's worried that if she shows off her magic, then she'll be as big of a showoff as Sizzle." Starla predicted. Their majesties agreed to that.

"But what can we do?" Buddy asked.

"This is something Jewel needs to figure out on her own." Grand Ruler replied.

Meanwhile, Jewel was in the royal library studying new spells but she was distracted.

"I don't wanna be a show off like Sizzle, but then I'll have to leave New Ponyville....all my friends forever." Jewel thought to herself.

Jewel placed her head on the book. "What am I gonna do?"

Jewel stayed in the library all day and into the night. Jewel woke up with a really empty stomach. "Man, I'm starving." Jewel got up and made herself sandwich and went back to the library. "What am I gonna do?"

Then, a tube of light came in front of Jewel and Twilight's angel-corn appeared. "Twilight!" Jewel whispered. "Good evening Jewel. I sense you are anxious about something. You wanna tell me what it is?" Twilight asked. So Jewel told Twilight everything that happened. "I want to defend my friends but I don't want them to to hate me for showing off." Jewel concluded.

"You know Jewel, I faced a similar problem. There was a unicorn named Trixie and she was a loudmouth and showing off her magic like Sizzle. My friends wanted me to show my magic to beat her. But, I was so afraid that I hid a part of who I was. My friends helped me to learn that it's okay to show of your talents especially, when your standing up for your friends. I suggest you take that into consideration." Twilight explained. Jewel nodded. "I must go now. Until next time Jewel." Twilight said and she vanished.

Jewel went back to her room and crawled into her bed. She stares at the ceiling and thinks about what Twilight said. It's okay to show of your talents especially when your standing up for your friends. Jewel closes her eyes and falls asleep.

The next morning, at high noon, Sizzle was in front of town hall and a crowd had gathered. All of Jewel's friends and their majesties were in the crowd. But Jewel was nowhere in sight.

"Where's Jewel?" Lightning asked.

"I don't know. I didn't see her this morning." Starla replied.

"Ahh, so the challenger is a no show. Looks like I'm the win-" Sizzle delcared but was cut off. "Not so fast!" Everybody turned and saw Jewel on the other side of the field. "Well. Let's get this party started. Prepared to be banished." Sizzle said.

Sizzle started off by using her magic a create a ball of light which exploded and caused sparkles to appear spelling her name in the sky. Jewel started by using her magic on some clouds. Jewel concentrated and the clouds grew and turned into four, howling wolves. The crowd was in awe. Sizzle was not amused.

Sizzle then made herself invisible and reappear in front of Jewel. Jewel then used her magic to make six copies of herself.

"When could she so that?" Lighting exclaimed. Even their majesties were shocked, but rather impressed. Sizzle was getting angry, any trick she tried was outclassed by Jewel. Finally she had enough!

Sizzle fired a beam of fire from her mouth. It burned Jewel badly, but she still managed to stand up. The crowd was shocked. "I'm tried of this! Let's end this." Sizzle charged at Jewel delivering a ton of punches to Jewel's face and arms. Jewel was too weak from the fire blast to fight back. The crowd looked on in horror!

"Say goodbye Jewel!"

Sizzle formed a huge fireball in her mouth and launched it at Jewel. When it made contact a huge explosion came and Jewel was sent flying back....into the New Everfree Forest!

"JEWEL!" Their majesties called. The two of them rushed out of the crowd and into the forest. They found a crater and in the center was Jewel. Their majesties rushed to the center.

Jewel was in bad shape! Her clothes were badly hurt as well as her skin. Her face was covered in bruises and she had a black eye. Her left leg and right arm looked to be broken.

"Hang on sweetie, we'll get you to the hospital." Celsetia said. She and her husband teleported to the New Ponyville Hospital and Jewel was immediately treated for her injuries.

Now, she was asleep in the recovery room with her leg and arm in a cast and being held up by a sling. There were bandages around her. She sustained third-degree burns from Sizzle's fire attacks. Also, Jewel had an ice pack placed on her head to calm the swelling. All of Jewel's friends came into the room to see how she's doing.

"She looks so weak." Starla said. "Penny said that she'll make a full recovery." Lighting reassured.

Just then, Jewel began to stir and groan.

"Oooooooooh, my.....aching.....everything." She groaned.

"Jewel, you're alright!" Starla cried. Jewel looked and saw all her friends.

"Hey guys, what happened?"

"Sizzle used her fire attacks and really injured you. Their majesties brought you here. They've been worried sick." Artie explained.

"So..do I lose the magic duel?" Jewel asked with wory.

"No, Sizzle was disqualified for intentionally harming her competition." A voice said. Everyone turned and saw Celestia and her husband with relieved experssion on their faces. "How are you feeling sweetie?" Celestia asked. "Just a little sore mom." Jewel replied with a smile.

"Jewel, thanks for trying to stand up for us." Lighting thanked. "Hehe, I just wanted to defend your guys honor thats all." As soon as Jewel said that, she began to glow in a white arua. Then her hands turned into claws, her fluffy tail gained scales as well as her wings. "Woah, what?" Then her crown appeared in front of her with another symbol to the right of the wolf. It was a dragon.

"Woah. A dragon symbol?!" Starla exclaimed. "But how?" Lighting asked.

"Dragons are known for fighting to defend ones honor. When Jewel battled with Sizzle to defend our honor she gained the dragon symbol in the process." Grand Ruler explained. Everybody was in awe. Now Jewel has a new symbol for her crown. Who knows what'll happen next?

In our next episode... Jewel gets into big trouble when Bulldozer and Eagle Eye capture her. Lighting and the gang try to save her but it turns out to be harder than they thought.

Can the gang save Jewel?
