My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: The New Member
Episode 24: Part 1: Jewel's Purpose
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was morning in United Equestria. It's been two days since the race and everypony was returning after their regular patrols.
"All is safe, your majesties." Lightning reported.
"Very good, all of you." Celestia praised.
"How's Jewel's training?" Grand Ruler asked.
"She's become almost as strong as me. She's learned a variety of spells and battling moves." Lightning replied.
"Excellent." Grand Ruler said.
"It's amazing at how far she's come." Rainbow said.
Everybody agreed. Jewel started out as a frightened, powerless unicorn. Now she's become a powerful fighter, just like her friends.
"I wonder when she'll unlock her Valkyrie magic." Fluttershy wondered.
"Only time will tell when that'll happen. For now we must keep an eye on Jewel, for who knows what Sombra and Chrysalis are planning." Grand Ruler warned.
Everybody nodded. That afternoon, the ponies was busy training; increasing their power and agility for whatever Sombra and Chrysalis would throw their way.
Meanwhile, Jewel walked out to the highest balcony and gazed up at the sky. She was thinking about what she was meant to do; sure she's defending the Dimensional Universe from evil, but she had a nagging feeling that she is meant to do more.
"Jewel." A voice called. Jewel turned around and saw their majesties, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence, all staring at her with slight concern.
"Jewel, is something wrong? Why are you out here all alone?" Grand Ruler asked.
"It's nothing....it's...*Sigh*....I've been having this feeling...that I'm meant to do more in our world. Like having a purpose." Jewel explained.
"Why this sudden thought?" Luna asked.
"It's just all my friends have a purpose in life, even Crystal and Sarah. Everybody I know has a purpose....except me." Jewel turned back around and walked to the railing, then she began to sing;
(Like this)

(Jewel)
It isn't that I'm ungrateful
For all the things that I've earned,
For all the battles I have fought in,
All the powers that I have earned
But I wonder if they all connect,
If I have a destiny
All my friends have a purpose
Everypony except for me
I have my badge, I wear this suit
I'm on Starfleet, this is true
But it's still unclear to me
If there's more I'm meant to do
I wanna have a purpose
Wanna do all that I can
I wanna make a contribution
I want to be a part of the plan
(Queen Celestia)
Your destiny's uncertain
And that's sometimes hard to take
But it will become much clearer
With every new choice you make
(Princess Luna)
Patience is never easy
I understand wanting more
I know how hard it is to wait
To spread out your wings and soar
(Princess Cadance and Grand Ruler)
But you stand here for a reason
You're gifted and you are strong
That badge is upon your chest because
You belong
(All four)
Know that your time is coming soon
As the sun rises, so does the moon
As love finds a place in every heart
You are a pony; you'll find your place
(Princess Luna)
We understand you wanting more
A chance to shine, a chance to soar
(Princess Cadance)
Soon will come the day it turns around
(All four)
Know that your time is coming soon
As the sun rises, so does the moon
As love finds a place in every heart
You are a pony; you'll find your place
(Queen Celestia)
You are a pony; you'll find your place
Queen Celestia hugged Jewel. "Your time will come." She said. Suddenly a xage came over Jewel.
"Ahhh.!!!"
Their majesties gasped as the cage was lifted up and vanished, "GUUUUYYYYS...!!!" Jewel cried before she vanished.
"JEWEL.!!!!" Their majesties cried. They immediately went to tell the others.
Jewel woke up in a cell and found her ankles and wrists bound to a wall by powerful dark magic manacles.
"Ahhhh, so you finally awoke." A voice said. Jewel looked and saw Swift, Carla and Bron standing outside her cell.
"Why are you three doing this?" Jewel asked.
"Because our masters ordered us to." Carla replied.
"Why do you still listen to them even though they treat you like garbage?' Jewel asked.
"Because we'll get powerful magic out of it." Swift said.
"Yea. Our masters will reward us for all our hard work." Bron said.
"But what if they just get rid of you?" Jewel asked.
"Yeah right! They need us." Swift conuntered. Up on the deck above the minons and Jewel heard Sombra and Chrysalis talking.
"I can't believe they would do actually belive we need them. HAHAHA! Idiots." Sombra said.
"Once we get those ponies magic. It will all ours." Chrysalis added.
The minions were devastated by what they just heard.
"Impossible! They need us!" Swift cried.
"You don't need them to have great power." Jewel stated.
"Well, then how else will we have powerful magic?" Carla asked.
"You can start by having friendship. Friendship is a powerful force of magic in itself." Jewel added. The minions thought about it and gently smilied at Jewel and she smilied back.
Back at United Equestria, their majesties told the ponies what happened and they were equally devastated.
"We got to get her back!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Sombra also gave us this when he took Jewel."
Celestia showed them a note that read;
If you ever want to see your precious unicorn again,
Surrender all your magic to me and Chysalis
Sombra
The ponies were outraged, "That snake!" Lightning said.
"Now what?" Fluttershy asked.
"We'll have to fight them to get Jewel back." Grand Ruler said.
The ponies agreed to that plan of action.
Back on the ship, Jewel began teaching the minions a little about friendship.
"So a friend is someone who sticks by you through thick and thin?" Swift said.
"And accepts you for who you are?" Carla added.
Jewel nodded.
"I think I like friendship now." Bron said.
"Me too." Swift and Carla agreed.
Suddenly, they all began to flash and were transported to the New Canterlot Village, where Lightning and all his friends, including their majesties, stood.
"Guys!" Jewel cried.
"So are you willing to surrender your magic for your friend?" Sombra asked.
"Not a chance!" Grand Ruler exclaimed.
"Fine. We'll have to use a more painful method."
Sombra took out the dark orb and to Jewel's horror, began to take her friends magic. The ponies groaned as the magic left them and they fell to the ground with tinted gray eyes as it was completed. Sombra and Chrysalis couldn't stop laughing with wicked glee.
"Now to destroy you ponies." Sombra said.
"NO....!!" Jewel cried.
She used her magic to teleport everyone, including the minions out of the ship.
"Oh, well let's have some fun with our new magic." Chrysalis hissed.
Meanwhile, Jewel teleported everyone to New Canterlot Palace. From there she explained what happened in the ship. The ponies couldn't believe that she was able to reform the minions, but they had bigger fish to fry.
"How are we gonna beat them?" Jewel asked.
We are too weak to do battle the only one how can best them nkw is you..Jewel." Grand Ruler said.
Jewel gasped in horror.
To be continued....
