My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: The New Member

Night had fallen on the planet Allura. Jewel and her animal friends; Lyria, Starlight and Aqua were all and resting by a campfire. Jewel was eating some of her food that Buddy made for her, while her animal friends ate fruit and some meat. Jewel's ankle had healed, but her burned arm still needed time to heal.

"Thanks for helping me out, guys." Jewel praised. Lyria, Starlight and Aqua all looked at her.

"No problem Jewel." Lyria replied.

"Yea, we're happy to help you." Aqua added. Straight nodded in agreement.

Jewel then let out a yawn and suggested they go to bed. The gang all climbed into the tent and Jewel climbed into her into her sleeping bag. "*Yawn*, Night guys." She said.

"Night Jewel." The gang replied and they drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, the gang heard some rustling outside their tent. Jewel went to investigate and was met by a familiar humanoid cheetah. "Swift?!, H-How did you know I was here?" Jewel asked. Lyria, Starlight and Aqua all exited the tent. "What's going in?" Starlight asked.

"You didn't think Sombra and Chrysalis were watching you and your feeble attempt to get the Sword of Animal Spirits?" Swift asked.

"You'll never get your paws on it!" Jewel declared.

"Oh, but I will. Once I get rid of you, there will be no one to stand in my way!" Swift added. Swift blasted a pulse at Jewel, but it was intercepted by Starlight, who slashed the attack in half. He and the others stood in front of Jewel.

"You will not lay a hand on our friends!" Lyria declared. Seeing he was outnumbered, Swift retreated, but not before sending a smirk in Jewel's direction. "Who was that guys?" Aqua asked.

"That was Swift. He's a minion of King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis." Jewel explained. The others gasped in shock. They all have heard of King Sombra and Queen Chysalis and they were nothing short of nightmares. "I need to find the sword before Swift. If I don't, the sword will be used for evil." Jewel added.

"They will have to hurry." Lyria said. Jewel was a little concerned.

"Are you sure you guys? Swift is very powerful. He almost killed me the first time I met him. I don't want him to hurt any of you." Jewel replied.

Lyria stepped forward. "Jewel, we all promised that we will stay with you and help you get the sword. We are not leaving you alone until we do." The others nodded.

Jewel smiled gratefully, "Thanks guys." Jewel said. So, the gang continued following the gem path until they came to a large gorge. Jewel and Aqua looked into the gorge and saw...well nothing but darkness. "It's sure a long way down." Jewel said. "Yep." Aqua agreed.

Starlight and Lyria looked as well. "Looks like we'll have to fly over." Lyria concluded. "But, Aqua is the only one who can fly." Jewel pointed out.

"That's not entirely true. I can fly with my magic and Starlight can make a cloud of stars to fly him over the gorge." Lyria replied.

"But what about Jewel?" Aqua added.

"Maybe I can add some assistance." A voice called. Everybody turned to the sky and saw a female pheonix desending from the night sky. It's feather glowed in the moonlight, it's firey tail and wings shined like a lantern. The pheonix landed in front of Jewel.

"I've been following you in case you would need assistance. And it looks like you need it. I can carry Jewel across this gorge, so you can continue on your quest. The name's Wildfire by the way." She said.

The others were thankful for Wildfire's assistance. She grabbed Jewel by her shoulders and carried her across the gorge. "Thanks Wildfire." Jewel thanked.

"It's was no trouble at all." Wildfire replied.

"Hey Wildfire, do you wanna join us on our quest?" Jewel asked.

"Hmmmm. well.... my life has been ratherc boring. I guess little excitement won't hurt. Alright I will join you in your quest!" Wildfire said. The team of friends continued their trek until they heard a buzzing sound.

"What's that?" Aqua asked.

Jewel's heart sank, knowing exactly what that sounds was.

"CHANGELINGS!!!"

Changelings began to rain down from the sky, surrounding Jewel and her friends. "What do we do?" Lyria asked.

"We'll have to fight them!" Jewel said.

"Sweet!" Aqua exclaimed, rubbing his paws together, "time for some real excitment!"

The animals and Jewel charged the changelings. Jewel and Lyria blasted them with her magic, Aqua and Wildfire blasted them with blue and red fire. Starlight sent a stream of stars at the changelings, hitting them and sending them far away.

Knowing they were outmatched, the changelings quickly retreated.

"Yeah! You better run!" Aqua declared.

"And don't come back!" Wildfire added.

They all saw the changeling vanish in the sky.

"THAT.... WAS.... AWESOME!" Aqua shouted.

"Indeed it was." Starlight added.

"I've never been in a fight before, how exhilarating!" Wildfire exclaimed.

Jewel chuckled qt her friends reactions, "Come on gang, to the Sword of Animal Spirits!" Jewel called.

"YEAH!" the animals cried.

The gang saw the gem path before and followed it to a clearing and in the middle of the clearing with the Sword of Animal Spirits!

Woah, the Sword of Animal Spirits. I've found it!" Jewel thought, excitedly. Jewel made a dash for it, but Swift jumped down in front of her.

"Well, well, well, looks like you too late Jewel." He taunted.

"Out of the way Swift! I've got a sword to claim." Jewel ordered.

"You'll have to defeat me first." Swift challenged. Swift charged Jewel and rammed into her. Jewel countered by punching Swift in the face. The two exchanged punches and kicks until Jewel used her tail to hit Swift in the hip, sending him into a tree. "Alright Jewel!" Wildfrie cheered. Swift growled in defeat and retreated.

The strain of the battle caused Jewel to fall onto her behind, exhausted. Her animal friends came to her side. "You okay Jewel?" Starlight asked.

"Yea. Just a little winded." Jewel replied. After regaining her breath, Jewel stood uo and approached the sword. It had two light pink, spiral lines going around the silver blade, meeting at the tip. Also, it had a rainbow star with the colors of the elements of harmony on the tip. The handle was yellow.

"Woah, awesome." Jewel said.

"It looks like your quest is complete." Lyria concluded. "Yea, but I've couldn't have done it without all your help. Thanks." Jewel replied. Her friends smiled. Suddenly, a scroll appeared before Jewel, she unrolled the scroll and read it.

Jewel, You must return to United Equestria at once! Something terrible has happened and we need you.

Jewel knew that something must be terribly wrong.

"Not good. Oh, I've gotta get back. But, I'll need another dimensional pathway to get back home."

"We can help you get back." Lyria offered. She used her magic to make a dimensional pathway to United Equestria. "Thanks so much. All of you." Jewel thanked.

"See you next time Jewel." Starlight, Lyria, Aqua and Wildfire called.

Jewel waved goodbye to them and jumped into the pathway. In no time at all, Jewel was in the royal palace hallway, outside the throne room. She heard her friends voices in the throne room. She peeked into the throne room and gasped.

Bron and Carla have taken control of the throne room and had her friends trapped in a anti-magic, crystal box. "You won't get away with this!" Grand Ruler snarled.

"And who's gonna stop us?" Bron taunted.

"That would be me."

Everybody turned and saw Jewel standing in the doorway, holding her sword. The gang was relieved to see Jewel again. Unlike, Bron and Carla, "So....you've returned huh?" Carla taunted.

"That's right and I'm gonna defeat you again." Jewel stated proudly.

"With that puny little thing? We'll see about that." Bron replied.

Carla and Bronc fired their magic at Jewel, who deflected the beams with her sword. "What?!" Carla exclaimed. Jewel dashed forward and slashed the duo with her sword, causing extreme damage.

"Incredible!" Grand Ruler exclaimed.

"Cool." added Lightning.

Jewel powered up some of her magic and it was absorbed into the sword. Jewel fired the finishing attack... "SPIRIT BEAM". The attack consumed Carla and Bron. When the dust cleared, Bron and Carla were gone!

"They must have vanished before the attack struck!" His majesty said.

"Alright Jewel!" Dyno cried happily.

"You did it!" Added Myte. Jewel went over to her friends and sliced through the box like a piece of pie. All her friends were amazed by Jewel handy work with the sword.

"It appears that you've found the sword." Grand Ruler stated.

"And you've proven to use it wisely." Celestia added.

Jewel blushed. "Thank you, your majesties." Jewel thanked.

Lighting was proud of Jewel for completing her mission and rescuing her friends again. That night, a ceremony was held for Jewel's bravery and first space travel mission. Jewel approached their majesties and Grand Ruler began the ceremony.

"On this auspicious occasion, we are gathered here to congratulate our newest Senior Lieutenant Jewel for saving our lives once again. Jewel, for your bravery in the face of danger, you are hereby promoted to Major!"

The crwd cheered and shouted with joy with Lightning and the gang being the loudest. Jewel was smiling very big with pride. Now, she's ranked up and will soon catch up to her friends.
