My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: The New Member

One day Jewel was playing with Rockruff in the New Canterlot Royal Garden.

"Fetch boy!" Rockriff chased the ball abd found it near some flowers. He out the ball in his mout and brought it back to Jewel.

"Good boy." Jewel petted Rockruff and his barked happily.

"Hey Jewel!" Jewel turned and see Lightning, Mykan, Starla and the girls coming towards her.

"Hey guys."

"So Jewel, you entering the United Equestrian Race tomorrow?" Mykan asked.

"You get! I'm gonna use Starburst in the race."

The friends were suddenly confused, " Who's Starburst, Jewel?" Lightning asked.

"My little toperedo-shaped vehicle."

"Oooooh." The friends replied.

"So, what's the race course gonna be like?" Jewel asked.

"First, you have to go through the New Everfree Forest, then you go through New Cloudsdale. After that, you go through the frozen North, pass the New Crystal Empire and all the way up to Mount E.U and the first racer back to the finish line is the winner." Starla explained.

"Okay. Thanks guys." Jewel said

"So Jewel are you sure you're prepared for the race?" Rainbow asked.

"Hmmm. I guess not but I don't really know what to pack for the race."

"Don't 'cha worry sugarcube, we'll help you." Applejack said.

"Indeedy." Pinkie added.

"Thanks you guys." Jewel said, smiling.

"Come on let's get you ready." Mykan said.

By the next morning, Jewel was all ready and packed; Applejack packed plenty of food for her. Rarity packed some warm clothing for her. Fluttershy gave her a little book on animals that live from the Everfree to the Forzen North and a first aid kit, in case she got injuried during the race. Rainbow gave her a telescope so she can see far away. Mykan gave Jewel his cape.

Jewel and Starburst were at the staring line with all the other competitors. Jewel placed Starburst in "Land Mode". Now Starburst had two sets of tires for land travel. Their majesties were there to watch the race. They were both surprised and happy that Jewel would be entering the race.

"Thanks for helping me pack, guys." Jewel praised.

"No problem, Jewel." Mykan said.

"All racers to the starting line!" The announcer said.

"Well gues that's my cue. See you guys at the finish line." Jewel added.

Mykan, the girls, Lightning and Starla all went and took their places neat their majesties.

All the racers took their places at the starting line.

"Okay racers! In your marks......Get set.....GO.!!!!" The announcer called. The racers and their carts dashed forward bursting through New Ponyville and into New Everfree Forest.

Jewel was in fourth place, but she was going slow, due to the dangers she knows come from the area. All the other racers zoomed passed him. "This place sure is creepy. I better be careful." She said to herself.

The bushes near her suddenly rustled. "What was that?" she thought.

Jewel carefully drive Starburst into the brush and found an injured creature. It looked like a wolf, but it was made entirely out of wood. The poor creature was trying to stand up, but it's left hind leg was badly bruised.

Jewel looked up the creatures information in the book Fluttershy gave her:
Timberwolves bear a resemblance to real wolves, but their bodies are comprised entirely of twigs, logs, and leaves. They usually live in packs but they are known to loners from time to time.

"Poor thing." Jewel cooed. Jewel opened the cockpit and climbed out with the first aid kit. The timberwolf saw her and growled. "Easy, boy." She said, "I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you."

The timberwolf stopped growling and calmed down. Jewel placed the kit next top the wolf and opened it. She took out some bruise cream and bandages.

Jewel rubbed the cream on the brusie, making the wolf flinch a little. Then, she placed the bandages over the wound.

"There. All better!" Jewel cheered.

The timberwolf stood up and placed pressure on his injured leg. Feeling little to no pain the timberwolf barked happily. It went over to Jewel and licked her face thankfully.

"Hahaha! Okay, boy. Down boy." Jewel said.

The timberwolf stopped licking Jewel. "I've gotta get back to the race. See ya buddy. Feel better." Jewel called as she packed up the kit and raced back to Starburst. She climbed in, closed the cockpit and started the engine. She sped off at the speed of light.

Back at the starting line, the ponies all saw what Jewel did and were speechless. "Did Jewel just help a timberwolf?!" Lightning spoke.

"Indeed." Grand Ruler said.

"That's....was....amazing!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Who knew!" Mykan added.

"Something tells me that there are more surprises coming Jewel's way." Celestia stated.

Unfortunately, Sombra, Chrysalis and their minions were also watching the race.

"Ummm. This could be the opportunity we've been waiting for." Sombra stated.

"How so, your majesty?" Swift asked.

"You three are going to place hidden traps for Jewel in the race. She'll never know what happened before it's too late." Sombra explained.

"Um, hate to be the wet blanket, but what if the ponies notice what we are doing?" Carla asked.

"They all will be too busy watching the race to notice one of their racers missing." Chrysalis said.

"So go, make this a race nopony will ever forget." Sombra ordered. The minions saluted and teleported away. Sombra nd Chrysalis snickered evily.

Back at the racetrack, Jewel had made it to New Cloudsdale. She activitated Starburst's "Air Mode". Starburst gained a thruster in its tail fin, rocketing it into the city of clouds. Jewel took in the beauty of the city.

"Woah. Cool." She gasped.

Suddenly, Jewel felt her stomach growl loudly. She placed a hand on ber stomach, "Man, all this racing got me hungry. Good thing Applejack packed some food for me." Jewel said to herself.

Jewel put Starburst on "Auto-Pilot" while she dug into her lack and pulled out an apple pie. She ate the pie, enjoying every delicious taste.

"Hmmm. This is good." Jewel said to herself. After she finished the pie, she took Starburst off of "Auto-Pilot". By that time storm clouds began to roll in.

"Weird. I don't remember New Cloudsdale scheduling a storm of today." Suddenly, it began pouring rain, making it harder for Jewel to see. However, she was ablw to see lightning that began to come out of the clouds, almost hitting Starburst.

"Woah! Yikes! Woah!" Jewel stated after dodging many lightning bolts. She swerved around the bolts. Finally, ahe made it out of the storm, safe and sound.

"Phew, that was close. I'd better catch up with the other racers." Jewel said to herself. Jewel drove Starburst fast to catch up with the other racers. Soon, she found them, they were five yards away from her.

"Perfect! Time for me to get in first place " Jewel thought happily. That was cut short when she saw snowflakes falling from the sky. Also, the temperature dropped dramatically.

"Brrr! It sure is cold. Wait! Snow, cold weather. I must be in the.....FROZEN NORTH"

The weather and the snow made it hard for Jewel to steer. "Starburst! Heat Mode!" Starburst's interior heat rose, so the engine wouldn't freeze up and Jewel put on Rarity's warm clothing; a hat, scarf and a coat and boots.

"Good thing Rarity packed this, or I would've been an ponysicle." Jewel praised.

Jewel went passed the New Crystal Empire and made it to Mount United Equestria, or simply called Mount U. E by many was located in the northern most corner of the planet, way past the New Crystal Empire.

"Time to climb." Jewel drove Starburst up, up, up the mountain. She was halfway up when she heard some rumbling. "What's that?" Jewel looked in front of her and saw a wall of snow barreling towards her. "AVALANCHE..!!!!" Jewel tried to put run the avalanche but it was no use. The avalanche buried her in a mountain of snow. Sombra's minions giggle evily while the ponies were horrified.

"Oh no! Jewel!" Mykan cried.

Jewel was trying to get out but the snow was too thick for Starburst to just fly through. Worse off all, the heating was cut off so now jewel was staying to free.

"S-S-S-S-Soooo C-C-C-C-Cold. Help." Jewel cried shivering violently.

Just then, the snow above get began to disappear like something was digging through the snow to get to her. Twobig she arms came in and easily pulled Starburst out of the hole. Jewel looked and saw that the creature who pulled her out was none other than a polar bear.

"You heard me call for help?" She asked.

The bear nodded.

Jewel smiled thankfully at the bear, " Thank you." The ponies were all shocked at this but abused and relieved that Jewel was alright.

Jewel reactivated "Heat Mode" and continued her climb. She finally made it to the top. Unfortunately, she saw the other racers were way ahead of her, almost back to New Cloudsdale.

"As man. There they go, I'm last again! *Sigh* I'm never gonna win this race." She drove Starburst down Mount U.E. Traveling back the way she came she started singing.

(Jewel)



I want to win this race somehow,
But I’m not in first place right now.
I'm not in second, or in third.
I don't know quite how this occurred.
I'm well prepared, but I’m not fast!
Instead of leading, I’m dead last.
And I’m not happy about this, no sir!
I’m not happy about this.

Everybody else is so fast! Maybe I should just give up. But if I give up, I definitely won't win!

Oh yes, I’m bummed that I’m so slow,
But it’s not over yet, I know.
My chance of winning’s kind of small,
But if I quit, there’s none at all.
So I’ll keep hiking ‘cross this range and hope that things will somehow change.
‘Cause I’d be happy about that, yes sir!
Oh, I’d be happy about that!
If something strange makes this race cha-a-ange...well, I’d be happy about that!

Jewel drove through New Cloudsdale and was now in New Everfree Forest. She spotted the other racers but somwthing wasn't right; They looked to bd stuck. Driving behind the trees and getting closer to the racers, she saw that they wete all trapped in a sticky web. They tried driving out but it was too thick. Jewel drove in front of the racers.

"Don't worry I'll get you all out!"

Jewel transformed into her dragon form; her body and tail turned scaly, small, white scales came out of her back. Finally, her mouth gained sharp teeth.

"DRAGON FLAME" Jewel fired a beam of fire at the web, melting it completely and setting th racers free.

They all thanked Jewel and the race was back on! The racers zoomed through the forest and approached the finish line. Theyes all crossed the finish line.

"And the winner of the United Equestrian Race is......

JEWEL.!!!" The crowd went wild, cheering and applauding loudly.

"I won? I WON!" Jewel cried. A pony came up to Jewel with a trophy and a first place medal. All her friends approached her,

"Way'd a go, Jewel!"

"That's the way!"

"Alright Jewel!"

"Excellent work, Jewel!" Celestia cried.

Jewel smilied at all her friends.

"Thanks guys." Jewel said.
