My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: The New Member

It's been peaceful for the last four months. No attacks, just ponies going on with their buisness. Over the months, Jewel's magic had increased dramatically! She could even the most advanced spells. Her friends and their majesties were very proud of her.

"Your magic has dramatically increased Jewel." Grand Ruler complimented.

Jewel blushed, "Yea. You must be the most magical unicorn in United Equestria." Starla added.

"Oh, come on Starla, I bet there's plenty of other ponies who are just as magical as me." Jewel objected, modestly.

But little did Jewel know, her magic would be out to the true test.

There was a magic show in New Ponyville and everybody, including their majesties, were going to see it. Jewel, Starla, Lighting and their majesties were in the front row.

Soon, a light red alicorn with a yellow mane came out on stage performing her tricks.

Everypony loved her tricks, but their was one thing that annoyed ponies....her bragging. The alicorn's name was Sizzle. Sizzle went on about being trained by powerful creatures, boasting about there was nobody who could surpass her.

"I, Sizzle is the most magical alicorn in all of United Equestria!" She declared.

"Oh Yea, well Jewel can take you on any-" Starla tried to shout out, but Jewel covered her mouth, hoping Sizzle didn't hear it.

Unfortunately she did!

"So, you, a unicorn, believes that you an alicorn? Why don't you come on up and show us what you can do. Show us all." Sizzle offered.

Jewel was very hesitant.

"I....uh...um." Jewel replied.

"Well, little hayseed." Sizzle added.

Lightning had heard enough! "Alright. That's it. I can't stand for anymore of this!" Lightning said and he took the stage.

"You show her honey!" Starla cheered.

"Can your magic do this?"

Lightning shot his uniforce attack and it shot into the sky and exploded into the words 'United Equestria'. The crowd was impressed.

"Pffft. That's not impressive. This is impressive."

Sizzle then used her magic on the lighting cloud and made it twirl around Lighting and when it stopped there were six lighting clouds. Sizzle then made them shock Lighting with electricity. Lighting yelled in pain and fell over. Starla and the entire crowd gasped. Starla rushed over to her husband.

"Lighting, are you okay?" She asked.

"Uggh. I'm good." Lighting moaned.

Starla helped Lighting into the crowd. Finally, their majesties have seen enough.

"Now it's our turn. Ready darling?" Grand Ruler asked. Celestia nodded.

With that, they took to the stage. The crowd was surprised and confident that the royal couple would put Sizzle in her place.

"Their majesties are going next"

"Ooh. Sizzle definately will be defeated."

"Go your majesties!"

"Ahh. So the royal couple comes. Think you have what it takes?" Sizzle asked.

"Oooooooooh." The crowd said. Nobody disrespects their majesties like that.

"Lets have the magic speak for itself." Grand Ruler challenged.

"Works for me" Sizzle said.

The alicorns began to show off their skills while singing a song.

When it was over, not even their majesties couldn't even outclass Sizzle.

"These alicorns aren't even a challenge. I want to duel with a realtrue magical pony. And that pony will be.....you." Sizzle pointed to Jewel.

Jewel gupled nervously.

"I challenge you to a magic duel tommorrow at high noon. And the winner is dubbed 'the most talented pony' and the loser.....leaves New Ponyville FOREVER! And if you forfeit your still considered the loser."

Everybody, including their royal majesties, gasped in horror. Sizzle packed everything up and left. Their majesties immediately held a meeting to discuss what happened. Lighting's friends were shocked!

"Leave New Ponyville. Forever?!"

"That's crazy!"

"Jewel, you can't go through with this."

"I have no choice, if I forfeit, I'll still have to leave." Jewel explained, "I....need some time....alone." Jewel sighed and left the throne room to think.

"Poor chica." Dyno said.

"That alicorn's a jerk. Forcing our friend to duel with her and disrespecting their majesties!" Myte added.

"Master, do you think Jewel can win?" Lighting asked.

"We have all seen that Jewel magic has increased dramactically over these few months. But I think she's scared to show off her talents in front of a crowd." Grand Ruler replied.

"Scared? Of what?" Artie asked.

"When Sizzle was showing off her magic skills and bragging about herself, the crowd was annoyed. I think Jewel's worried that if she shows off her magic, then she'll be as big of a showoff as Sizzle." Starla predicted.

"I believe Starla is right
Right now, Jewel is scared of shining bright." Rhymey said

"But what can we do?" Buddy asked.

"This is something Jewel needs to figure out on her own." Grand Ruler replied.

Meanwhile, Jewel was in the royal library studying new spells, but she was distracted. "I don't wanna be a show off like Sizzle, but then I'll have to leave New Ponyville....all my friends forever." Jewel thought to herself.

Jewel placed her head on the book. "What am I gonna do?"

Jewel stayed in the library all day and into the night. Jewel woke up with a really empty stomach. "Man, I'm starving." Jewel got up and made herself sandwich and went back to the library. "What am I gonna do?"

Then, a tube of light came in front of Jewel and Twilight's angel-corn appeared. "Twilight!" Jewel whispered. "Good evening Jewel. I sense you are anxious about something. You wanna tell me what it is?" Twilight asked. So Jewel told Twilight everything that happened. "I want to defend my friends but I don't want them to to hate me for showing off." Jewel concluded.

"You know Jewel, I faced a similar problem. There was a unicorn named Trixie and she was a loudmouth and showing off her magic like Sizzle. My friends wanted me to show my magic to beat her. But, I was so afraid that I hid a part of who I was. My friends helped me to learn that it's okay to show of your talents especially, when your standing up for your friends. I suggest you take that into consideration." Twilight explained. Jewel nodded. "I must go now. Until next time Jewel." Twilight said and she vanished.

Jewel went back to her room and crawled into her bed. She stares at the ceiling and thinks about what Twilight said. It's okay to show of your talents especially when your standing up for your friends. Jewel closes her eyes and falls asleep.

The next morning, at high noon, Sizzle was in front of town hall and a crowd had gathered. All of Jewel's friends and their majesties were in the crowd. But Jewel was nowhere in sight.

"Where's Jewel?" Lightning asked.

"I don't know. I didn't see her this morning." Starla replied.

"Ahh, so the challenger is a no show. Looks like I'm the win-" Sizzle delcared but was cut off.

"Not so fast!" Everybody turned and saw Jewel on the other side of the field.

"Look who showed up." Sizzle said.

"I'm here to defend my friends honor." Jewel called.

"Well. Let's get this party started. Prepared to be banished." Sizzle said.

Sizzle started off by using her magic a create a ball of light which exploded and caused sparkles to appear spelling her name in the sky. Jewel started by using her magic on some clouds. Jewel concentrated and the clouds grew and turned into four, howling wolves. The crowd was in awe. Sizzle was not amused.

Sizzle then made herself invisible and reappear in front of Jewel. Jewel then used her magic to make six copies of herself.

"Cool!" Lighting exclaimed.

Even their majesties were impressed. Sizzle was getting angry, any trick she tried was outclassed by Jewel. Finally she had enough!

Sizzle fired a beam of fire magic from her horn. It burned Jewel badly, but she still managed to stand up. The crowd was shocked.

"I'm tired of this! Let's end this." Sizzle charged at Jewel delivering punches and kicks to Jewel's face and arms. Jewel tried to counter bit she was too weak from the fire blast to do.

The crowd looked on in horror!

"Say goodbye Jewel!"

Sizzle formed a huge fireball in her horn and launched it at Jewel. When it made contact a huge explosion came and Jewel was sent flying back....into the New Everfree Forest!

"JEWEL!" Their majesties called.

The two of them rushed out of the crowd and into the forest. They found a crater and in the center was Jewel. Their majesties rushed to the center.

Jewel was in bad shape! Her clothes were badly hurt as well as her skin. Her face was covered in bruises and she had a black eye. Her left leg and right arm looked to be broken.

"Hang on sweetie, we'll get you to the hospital." Celsetia said.

She and her husband teleported to the New Ponyville Hospital and Jewel was immediately treated for her injuries.

Now, she was asleep in the recovery room with her leg and arm in a cast and being held up by a sling. There were bandages around her. Jewel had an ice pack on her head to calm the swelling

She sustained third-degree burns from Sizzle's fire attacks. All of Jewel's friends came into the room to see how she's doing.

"She looks so weak." Starla said.

"But Penny said that she'll make a full recovery." Lighting reassured.

Just then, Jewel began to stir and groan.

"Oooooooooh, my.....aching.....everything." she groaned.

"Jewel, you're alright!" Starla cried. Jewel looked and saw all her friends.

"Hey guys, what happened?"

"Sizzle used her fire magic and really injured you. Their majesties brought you here. They've been worried sick." Artie explained.

"So..do I lose the magic duel?" Jewel asked with wory.

"No, Sizzle was disqualified for intentionally harming her competition." A voice said.

Everyone turned and saw Celestia and her husband with relieved experssion on their faces.

"How are you feeling Jewel?" Celestia asked.

"Just a little sore." Jewel replied with a smile.

"Jewel, thanks for standing up for us." Lighting thanked.

"Hehe, I just wanted to defend your guys honor that's all."

As soon as Jewel said that, she began to glow in a white arua. Then her hands turned into paws, her fluffy tail turned slim, her pony ears turned cat-like, as well as a pair of pink whiskers formed on her the corners of her mouth. "Woah, what?"

Then her crown appeared in front of her with another symbol to the right of the wolf. It was a cat and dragon symbol.

"Woah! A cat and dragon symbol?!" Starla exclaimed.

"But how?" Lighting asked.

"Both cats and dragons are known for representing great power. When Jewel battled with Sizzle, she showed her own magical abilites, gaining the cat and dragon symbol in the process." Grand Ruler explained.

Everybody was in awe. Now Jewel has two new symbols for her crown. Who knows what'll happen next?

In our next episode... Jewel gets into big trouble when Bron and Carla capture her. Lighting and the gang try to save her but it turns out to be harder than they thought.

Can the gang save Jewel?
