Episode 22: The Grand Galloping Gala

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

One afternoon, the ponies and Mykan were at Rarity’s boutique, for she was making all of them dresses and suits for the Grand Galloping Gala that would be held in New Canterlot Ballroom tonight.

“Oooooh, I can’t wait for the Grand Galloping Gala tonight, it’s going to be absolutely fabulous!” Rarity cried in excitement.

“I CAN’T WAIT! I CAN’T WAIT!” Pinkie added.

Rarity already finished the girls dresses and Lightning and his friends suits, including Mykan.

“Alright Jewel, it’s your turn.” Rarity called.

“No thanks Rarity, I don't want a dress.” Jewel replied.

“Why not Jewel?” Mykan asked.

“Because I’m not going to the Gala.” Jewel replied.

The mane 6 and Lightning and his friends gasped.

“Not going to the gala?!” Rainbow repeated, shocked.

“Now why in the hotel bills would you wanna miss out on the Gala?” Applejack asked.

“It’s just too…..fancy for me.” Jewel replied.

“What ever to you mean darling?” Rarity asked.

“I just feel like I won’t fit in with the crowd like all of you.” Jewel explained.

The ponies began to fathom what Jewel was saying: huge crowds of high class ponies would be attending the gala, including their majesties. Since, Jewel wasn’t used to being around fancy ponies, she felt that she would stick out.

“Come on Jewel, it won’t be that bad.” Mykan added.

“Sorry, but I think I’ll just stay in the library and read some books. See ya guys.” Jewel said and she walked out of the door.

“*Sigh* Poor darling.” Rarity added.

“I wish Jewel would be more confident in herself.” Rainbow added. All the ponies and Mykan agreed. Jewel needed a confidence boost if she was going to attend social outing like this.


Night had fallen and Jewel was in the royal library reading books on different kinds of magic, but her mind was not on reading,

Could Jewel really a Valkyrie magic inside of her?

New Element of Harmony!

Jewel thoughts were cut off by the door creaking open and Grand Ruler came in,

"Good evening, Jewel." he greeted.

"Hi, your majesty." Jewel replied.

"I've heard grin the girls that you won't be attending the gala. Care to explain why?" his majesty asked.

"It's just.... I don't think I'll fit in with the other ponies. They're are all fancy and high class while I'm... well not." Jewel explained.

"So your afraid you'll stand out in a crowd of high-class ponies?" Grand Ruler summarized. Jewel nodded.

"Well, I may not be able to change your decision but I'll leave you with this little piece of advice 'Sometimes standing out can be the greatest thing you can do.'" With that, Grand Ruler left the library leaving Jewel with her thoughts.


The gala was in full swing; ponies were dancing to the music or Jay walking around and talking. Mykan, the girls and Lightning and his friends were talking when they saw Jewel coming towards them.... wearing her dress. Jewel's dress was light green with fur on the end, she wore light green shoes and wore a butterfly clip in her hair.

All the ponies gasped at her in awe.

"Oh darling, you look amazing!" Rarity complimented.

"And how." Applejack added.

Mykan was too busy staring at Jewel to reply until Rainbow snapped him back to reality.

"Oh! Um.... you look beautiful Jewel." he said. Jewel smiled,

"Thank you, and you look handsome as well."

Mykan smilied at her while, the girls giggled quietly.

Mykan and Jewel walked away from the girls to talk. Jewel explained to Mykan how she was ripped away from her family, twice and found a new family in Lightning and his friends. Mykan explained to her how he lost his love, Michelle, to Titan, an evil sorceror. Mykan said how she sacrificed herself for him.

"Oooh, Mykan." Jewel cooed.

"It's okay Jewel." Mykan said. Jewel didn't let that go so easily and hugged Mykan, surprising him, but he hugged her back.

Suddenly, a huge sphinx- like creature with wing, burst into the room. Ponies immediately screamed and panicked. Their majesties protected them with their magic.

"Stay here Jewel. Okay?" Mykan asked. Jewel nodded and went to hide under a table.

Lightning and the team transformed and charged the creature with Mykan, welding his Sword of Pure Soul, not far behind.

The gang attacked the sphinx from all sides.

“WHIPLASH STRIKE”

“SUPER STAFF SPIN”

“THRASH SLASH”

“BOOM-BOOM FLARE”

"GALACTIC PROJECTILE”

"UNIFORCE!!”

"PURE SOUL BEAM"

The attacks hit the sphinx, but to everyone's horror, the attacks barely did any damage! The sphinx roared and grabbed Mykan in it paws, "Hey!" He cried.

The ponies tried to save him but the sphinx spread it's wings and flew off with Mykan. The sphinx took Mykan deep within New Everfree Forest and toed him up to a tree.

Mykan struggled but he couldn't break free. To make matters worse, the sphinx took his Sword of Pure Soul, so now he's defenseless. "You won't get away with this!" Mykan growled.

"Oh, but I will, those ponies will definitely come for you and when they do they'll be leading their previous unicorn right into my trap." The sphinx explained.

"Oh, and to make sure you can escape." The sphinx whistled and four timberwolves came out of brush and surrounded Mykan on all sides. Mykan gulped nervously.


The ponies and their majesties held an emergency meeting in the throne room.

"We've gotta save Mykan!" Rainbow cried.

"Indeed. But we do not know why the sphinx took him and where." Grand Ruler said.

"I think I know." Lightning added, "It wanted Jewel."

The ponies gasped softly, "But why would it take Mykan instead of Jewel?" Buddy asked.

"It probably knows that Jewel will do anything to save the ones she loves, including giving herself up." Celestia said.

"So that sphinx just took Mykan as bait, so Jewel would go after him, so it can capture her and take her Sombra and Chrysalis." Fluttershy summarized.

Their majesties nodded.

"So what do we do?" Lightning asked.

"We will have to rescue Mykan, without Jewel surrendering herself." Celestia said.

"How?" Pinkie asked.

"Maybe I can help." Everybody turned and saw Crystal the changeling standing in the doorway. The ponies smiled at the thought of a new plan.


Mykan was still surrounded by four timber wolves with the Sphinx right beside him. The sphinx saw a figure coming forth and smiled evily.

"Soooo, you've come for your little human friend, huh, Jewel?" The sphinx said.

"Yes. Now give him back!" 'Jewel' demanded.

"Not before I take you back to my masters." The sphinx grabbed 'Jewel' much to Mykan's horror.

"Jewel! No!" He cried.

"Hehehe, finally I have the little unicorn." The sphinx laughed.

"Yeah about that." The sphinx and Mykan looked and saw another Jewel standing.

"What the-! Two Jewels?!" Mykan exclaimed.

"How is that possible?" The sphinx asked equally surprised.

The Jewel in the sphinx's paw was suddenly coated in green fire and changed into a changeling. The sphinx freaked out and released the changeling, who dashed over and quickly knocked out the four timberwolves and slashed the rope, freeing Mykan.

"What?" The sphinx said.

"UNIFORCE!!!"

Suddenly, a golden projectile came in and blasted the Sphinx, capturing it in a sphere.

The dusty cleared to reveal Lightning standing tall with his golden horn glowing.

"You okay, Mykan?" Lightning asked.

"Yea. Thanks to you guys." Mykan replied.

"I'm glad you're alright." Jewel said.

Mykan smiled at her, "Can't get rid of me that easily." Mykan joked. Jewel playfully punched Mykan in the arm.

"Come on let's go home." Jewel added.

The four friends walked back to New Canterlot, safe and sound.

In our next episode....

The annual United Equestrian Race is happening and Jewel is participating along with a lot of other ponies. But what she doesn't know is that Sombra's minions have placed traps hidden within the race.

Can Jewel make it through and win first place?
