Episode 5: Part 2: Mythical Magic and First Battle

Jewel walks down the cave and uses her horn to create light, so she can see. She uses the invisibilty spell to hide herself from anyone in the cave tunnels. As she's walking she talks to herself.

"Man, this isn't anything like the training Lighting put me through. How I gonna defeat two ponies with powerful magic by myself?" Jewel questioned.

Suddenly, a beam of light came down near Jewel and an angel-corn appeared.

"You can save them Jewel I know." It said.

"Who are you?" Jewel asked.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, former apprentice of Queen Celestia. I was killed in the line of duty trying to protect her." Twilight explained.

"Woah. So you really think I can save them Twilight?" Jewel asked.

"I do. I've been watching your magic training with Lighting and I'm very much impressed." Twilight added.

"Yea, but this is all so new to me. I've never battled anyone before. I just happened so fast... I just wasn't prepared for this." Jewel replied. She then began to sing about her doubts.

(Jewel)

I was prepared to do my best

Thought I could handle any test

For I have shown many tricks

But I wasn't prepared for this

Levitation would have been a breeze

Facts and figures I recite with ease

(Jewel): The square root of five hundred and forty-six is twenty-three point three six six six four two eight nine one zero nine.

Professor Bill Neigh: She is correct!

(Jewel)

I could ace a quiz on creatures bliss

But I wasn't prepared for this

Will I fail, or will I pass?

I can't be sure...

(Twilight)

She can't be sure...

(Jewel)

My mind is sharp, my skills intact

My heart is pure...

(Twilight)

Her heart is pure...

(Jewel)

Oh, I've proven my magic truth

I've made known that I'm very skilled

But no I wasn't

(Twilight)

Oh no, she wasn't

(Jewel)

Oh no, I wasn't

(Twilight)

Oh no, she wasn't

(Jewel)

No I wasn't

(Jewel and Twilight)

Prepared... for this!

"You know Jewel, I once felt the same way." Twilight revealed. Jewel wa surprised. "Really? When?" She asked.

"When Celestia first asked me to protect the Crystal Empire from King Sombra long ago. I didn't think I could do and that I would fail. But in the end I did pass becasue I never gave up. Now it's your turn." Twilight explained.

"Your right Twilight I can save them." Jewel said.

"Good. I must be going now until next time Jewel."

With that Twilight angle - corn floated up into the sky and vanished. Jewel started walking closer to the glow but she didn't realize she was spotted.

Meanwhile, in Sombra and Chrysalis's cave, they've imprisoned the gang in a force field. The dark magic in the force field prevented them from transforming or even produce a spark of magic.

"Let us go!" Lighing yelled.

"Never! Finally, after all this time I will finally destroy you all." Chysalis stated.

"You two won't get away with this." Celestia said.

"We've already have, nobody's coming to save you. Nobody's foolish enough to try an face us." Sombra explained.

The gang refused to admit it but they were right. Suddenly, Swift came rushing in.

"Your majesties! I just saw a pink alicorn near the lair!" Swift informed. Sombra and Chrysalis were shocked and angered. "What? Who dares tries to foil our plan?" Sombra asked. Swift showed them the picture he took of the 'intruder'. The gang saw it too and were shocked.

"It's Jewel!" Artie said.

Sombra, Chysalis and Swift heard. "Ahhh, so she's come to try and save you, huh. Well she's about to learn what happens when one tries to foil our plan." Chrysalis snarled.

"If any of you lay one hand on her, I'll destroy both of you." Grand Ruler threatened.

"And yet, your still trapped in our force field, so you won't be doing anything, except watch your precious alicorn suffer. Swift give the girl a warm welcome." Sombra ordered. Swift grinned evily. "As you wish." Swift then exited the lair and went into the tunnels. The gang knew Jewel was in big trouble!

Back in the tunnel, Jewel was only a couple of yards from the lair.

"Well, *Gulp* here goes nothing. I'm going in." She said to herself. Just then a beam of magic came hit the ground in front of her. "Your not going anywhere." The dust cleared and saw a male humanoid cheetah standing in front of her. "Who are you?" Jewel asked. "Name's Swift. Which is the last thing you will ever hear, once I destory you."

Jewel got into a battle stance. Swift roared and charged. Jewel used her wings to fly out of the way. Swift jumped up and tried to punch her in the gut but she used her magic to teleprt away and back onto the ground. Jewel countered.

"MAGICAL ARROW"

Jewel fired light pink arrows at Swift. The arrows left a few punctures but barely damaged him.

"Pathetic" Swift snarled, "Time to show you what REAL magic is.

"CLAW FLASH"

Swift's claws extended and glowed white. Using his cheetah speed, Swift charged and ruthlessly slashed Jewel. She tried to counter, but it was in vain. Swift punched her in the face and she fell to the ground.

"Aww, looks like you couldn't save your friends after all, how sad." Swift taunted. Jewel knew she couldn't give up. She had to save her friends. She slowly got back onto her feet saying.

"I...won't...give..up..until...my...friends..are...SAFE!!!"

Suddenly, Jewel felt a tremendous burst of energy within her. Swift saw that Jewel's entire body was glowing in a yellow magical arua. Jewel roared and charged Swift, punching and kicking him faster an a projectile. Swift tried to fight back but Jewel was too quick. She knocked Swift into a wall, knocking him out cold. Jewel panted as the energy burst subsided.

Jewek examined herself and saw that her injuries were healed completely. "Woah. What just happened? No time I've gotta save my friends." Jewel dashed towrds the lair. What she didn't know was that Sombra, Chysalis and the gang saw the fight. Sombra and Chysalis were outraged whole the captured gang were shocked and in awe.

"Galloping Galaxies" Lighting muttered.

"How did Jewel do that?" Buddy asked.

"Impossible! That girl is gonna pay." Sombra snarled.

In no time Jewel arrived in the lair. "Looking for someone." She said.

Sombra and Chrysalis turned and growled at her.

"Jewel get out of here. Their too dangerous." Lighting pleaded.

"He's right chica." Dyno said.

"Run away." Myte added.

"No! I'm not leaving until you all are safe." Jewel objected. Lighting and his friends were very concerned. Their majesties were also concerned, but at the same time impressed by Jewel's bravery.

"You made a big mistake coming here. And now your going to face the consequences." Sombra threatened. He and Chrysalis charged Jewel, who flew out of the way and into the air. Sombra and Chrysalis jumped and started bombarding Jewel with punches. Jewel used her shield spell to defend herself and spread out the shield sending Sombra and Chrysalis into the wall.

Sombra and Chrysalis were furious. Sombra fired a shockwave at Jewel, stunning her and Chrysalis charged Jewel attacking her ruthlessly. The gang watched in horror as Chysailis punched Jewel in the stomach, sending her to the ground.

"JEWEL!"

Sombra and Chrysalis floated down to the small crater and stared down at Jewel. She had a black eye, bruises everywhere and mane was matted and tangeled.

"Looks like this is your final curtain. Too bad you couldn't save them. You were just too pathetic to do it. Now say goodbye!" Sombra said. He and Chysalis combined their magic and fired the finished blow.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" The gang cried.

Just as the bean was about to hit. Jewel felt the same magical energy run through her. She leaped out of the crater and punched the beam, cancelling it.

"What?!" Sombra and Chrysalis cried. The gang was shocked. Jewel's whole body glowed brighter than ever. The magical arua began to expand and change into a creature with Jewel in the center. Powerful jaws were formed in front of Jewel's face. Forlegs and Back legs were formed around Jewel's arms and legs. A big fluffy tail formed over Jewel's tail. When finished the creature was about half the size of New Canterlot Palace. The light diminished and a light yellow wolf was standing in front of Sombra and Chrysalis with Jewel in the middle.

Jewel roared and the wolf roared at the same time. Jewel charged the duo in her wolf form. They tried to fight back, but it was usless. Jewel hit them with her tail and clawed them with her paws.

"I..WILL.NOT..GIVE..UP..UNTIL..MY..FRIENDS..ARE.....SAFE!!"

"HOWL PULSE"

Spirit Wolf Jewel fired a projectile at Sombra and Chrysalis like Lighting and Grand Ruler's Uniforce. Sombra and Chrysalis were consumed by the blast destroying them. The force field was deactivated and the gang was free. The yellow arua steadily diminished until Jewel was not longer covered. Her injuries were healed again, but she was extermely exhauseted. Her friends rushing towards her was the last thing Jewel saw before she passed out.

When she woke up, Jewel saw all of her friends by her bedside.

"Hey there sleepy head. How are you feeling?" Starla cooed.

"A little tired, but alright." Jewel replied.

"Good, we were worried. Especially Lighting." Buddy added.

Jewel looked around and saw that she in a hospital bed. "So what happened?" Jewel asked. "After you passed out. Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler discovered that the Sombra and Chrysalis you faced were only puppets with a faction of their actual power." Starla explained.

"Yikes. I hate to see the real them." Jewel commented. "We brought you to the hospital and Penny said you'll make a full recovery." Starla added.

"Good, I wanna see Lighting." Right after she said that Lighting popped into the room with the four royal alicorns and Shining Armor. "Did someone call for me." Lighting joked. "Lighting!"

Lighting came to Jewel's bedside and they both hugged. "Its good to see you are awake Jewel."

"It's good to your all safe." Jewel replied.

"I'm very proud of you Jewel. Even when you were against incerdible odds, you succeded in saving us. You've impressed me, my brave pony. Now it's time to celebrate."

"Celebrate? Celebrate what?" Jewel asked.

Hours later, everybody creature in United Equestria gathered in the New Canterlot Palace Throne Room. Lighting stood with the royal alicorns near the royal throne while his friends were in the very front of the crowd. Trumpets began to play and the doors to the throne room opened and Jewel came walking down the red carpet, towards the royal alicorns. She stopped in front of them and the trumpets stopped playing.

"We are gathered here today to reminisce of what has occured this day. King Sombra and Queen Chysailis, two enemies that were thought to be gone forever have returned." Grand Ruler started.

The crowd gasped!

"And they succeeded in capturing myself, my wife and my former apprentice Lighting Dawn and his team." He added.

The crowd gasped again!

"However, we were saved by the actions of a brave young alicorn that stand before us all here today." Queen Celestia said.

"Which is why were are all exteremly proud and honored to give Jewel the United Equestrian Pink Heart of Courage." Celstia added.

Luna used her magic to leviate the necklace with a pink crystal heart in the center over to Jewel, who bowed her head to receive it. Luna placed the necklace on her and she smiled with glee. The crowd cheered loudly and applauded.

"We have another reason to celebrate this day." Grand Ruler added suddenly. Everybody, even Lighting, his friends and the other royal ones didn't know what Grand Ruler was doing. Grand Ruler stared down at Jewel.

"Jewel, due to your increadible act of bravery and your willingness to never give up when your friends were in great peril, even when you were at an exterme disadvantage, you have proven to me and everybody else what kind of person you are; strong, brave and truly magical. Which is why as Commander of Starfleet, I hereby dub Jewel, the newest memeber of Lighting's Starfleet unit as a Fleet Admiral!" Grand Ruler exclaimed. The whole throne room burst with cheers and applause. Lighting and his friends were the loudest and proudest of Jewel. It seemed like only yesterday she was an injured, scared little alicorn. Now she's a memeber of the force. Jewel felt exteremly honored.

"Even with United Equestria under the cape of war. This is a bright, new beginning for everybody." Princess Luna ended.
