My Brave Pony Starfleet Human
Episode 5: A Musical/Magical Talent
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was Tuesday evening in Mystic Island and the rangers were at Grandruler's manor having a nice dinner.
"Hey Sunset, What are you going to do on the talent show on Thursday?" Lightning asked.
"Hmmm, I don't know." Sunset replied.
"Well, I'm gonna play my awesome guitar skills." Rainbow boastered. The rangers rolled their eyes at Rainbow's bragging.
"Jewel, what are you gonna do?" Rainbow asked. Jewel looked up from her plate, "Ummm. I.....don't think I'll enter." she replied.
The friends gasped in shock and confusion, "Not enter, why not Jewel?" Buddy asked.
"I don't have a talent to show." Jewel replied.
"That can't be true! Jewel, everybody has a talent." Lightning reassured.
"Everyone, except me." Jewel got up from her seat and exited the dining room. The rangers were all feeling bad for Jewel. "Poor Jewel." Buddy said.
"She doesn't think she has a talent to show,
but she must be good at something though." Rhymey added.
"Yea, she's good with animals. Maybe she could use that in the talent show." Rainbow suggested.
"She can't, Fluttershy is already good with animals. If Jewel does that, it won't be that good or entrtaining." Lightning objected.
"If she can't show her animal talent, then what can she do?" Sunset wondered.
Marla, Bronc and Keto were walking down the hallway of the Prison tower looking at all of the creatures inside.
"Too ugly."
"Too bulky."
"Ugh, Too lame."
"None of these monsters are useful!" Keto cried.
"They couldn't even beat the rangers' grandmothers." Bronc added.
"ENOUGH!" Nacluv yelled, gaining the minions attention. "I've found a monster that's sure to crush those pesky rangers." He opened the cell and a monster came out.
The creature resembled a large music book with a music note for a head. It's special ability was makint loud, irritating music that would render its victims powerless. It's name was Singer.
"I'm at your service, Master Nacluv." Singer said.
"Good. Now make those rangers pay for all the trouble they've caused me!" Nacluv ordered. "You've got it." Singer replied and teleported away.
The next morning, Jewel and Sunset were in history class, their last class of the day. Lightning passed out a test to everybody and by the end of the class, everybody was done. "Pass your tests to the front please." Lightning called.
After the school bell rung, Jewel was walking by herself when Nikki and the Jazzies came up to her. "Hey Jewel, word is, that you're not participating in the talent show. Too bad, a nobody like you could never outshine me at anything." Nikki taunted.
Amber and Dionne laughed at her. Jewel tried her hardest not to cry, even with tears forming in her eye.
"HEY!" The girls turned and saw Sunset and the rest of her friends walking behind Jewel. "You leave Jewel alone." Sunset said.
"And just so you know Jewel is entering the talent show and she will win!" Buddy said.
Nikki scoffed and walked off with Amber and Dinnoe following. Jewel turned to her friends, "Guys, I don't have a talent. How can I participate in the talent show?" Jewel asked.
"Jewel, you have a talent. You've just haven't found it yet." Sunset replied.
"Yeah. One day you'll find your talent." Rainbow added. Jewel smilied. Suddenly, the rangers coms began beeping.
"Rangers there's a monster terrorizing downtown. Check it out!" Celesto said.
"Let's go!" Lightning said. The rangers dashed off to downtown and sported the monster. "Hey!" Sunset yelled.
"Ah. Looks like I've found an audience." Singer said. "And now for my owning act...Lingos attack!" Singer made Lingos appear and they charged the rangers. Jewel hid behind a street post and watched
"STARFLEET MAGIC....POWER ON!!!"
"Comsic Comet....Power On!!!"
The rangers charged through the Lingos and attacked Singer. Singer blocked every attack they threw and blasted them.
"Time to sing." Singer declared.
Singer blasted out sound waves and the rangers stopped and dropped to the floor in pain.
"Ahhh! My ears!" Lightining cried.
"This....is...torture!" Rainbow added.
Singer laughed and blasted near the rangers sending them flying. Jewel gasped in horror. "Time to end you rangers!" Singer charged at them, but Jewel quickly changed into her falcon form, grabbed the rangers and flew off with them.
"No! Well they'll be back." Singer said.
Back at the base, the rangers were resting their eardums. "Man, his music is awful!" Lightning declared.
"It's like nails on a chalkboard." Buddy added.
"How are we gonna beat him?" Sunset asked. Twilight came in with a scanned of the monster. "Guys. I found that the only weakness this monster has in smooth, gentle music."
"So, we have to sing something smooth and gentle to render his attack powerless!" Rainbow concluded.
"Only one problem....if you guys are fighting, who's going to be singing?" Spike asked. The rangers realized he was right. They can't sing and fight at the same time.
"Then what do we do?" Fluttershy asked. The rangers thought hard until Spike's ears perked up. "Spike what is it?" Krysta asked.
"I heard some....singing." Spike replied.
"Singing?!" The rangers repeated. Following Spike, the rangers traced the singing to the lab. The lab workers were absent. Inside they found an unlikely and amazing sight....
.....It was Jewel singing a beautiful song:
Hush little one
And close your eyes
Dream of our hearts side by side
The moon and stars will be your guide tonight
Hush little one
And say goodnight
Two stars shine as one tonight
So make a wish
And close your eyes
And may your wish come true
Tonight
Hush little one
Goodnight
Jewel heard clapping behind and quickly turned around and found her friends and Celesto looking at her. She immediately blushed with embarrassment.
"H-How long have you all been standing there?" Jewel asked.
"Oh, just long enough to hear what am amazing voice you have." Krysta complimented.
"Where did you learn that?" Lightning asked.
"My mom used to sing it to me as a lullaby." Jewel replied.
"Well you've got a voice is smooth and gentle." Spike said. Suddenly Twilight said, THAT'S IT!"
"what's it?" Sunset asked.
"You all just said that Jewel has a smooth and gentle voice." Twilight started.
"Yea...what about it?" Rainbow asked.
Twilight sighed irritably, "If Jewel sings while you guys are battling them, the monsters attack with powerless. Remember, it's only weakness is a-"
"Smooth and Gentle voice!" The rangers finished. Everybody was on board with the plan, expect for Jewel.
"M-Me! Sing! Oh....I don't know." she said. Sunset could tell that Jewel was letting her fear take hold. "Jewel, you can do, you just have to close your eyes and sing." she added.
"That's it?" Jewel asked and Sunset nodded.
"Okay. I'll do it!" Jewel replied. The rangers cheered for joy. Now thethey had a new plan to take down Singer.
Singer was still waiting around for the rangers to show up again.
"Ugh! What's taking them so long?" he asked.
"HEY!" a voice shouted. Singer turned and saw all the rangers running towards him fully-morphed.
"Ah, finally! Now, let's finish what w started." Singer said.
"Bring it!" Sunset countered. The rangers all charged Singer. Rhymey tired slashing him with his sword, but Singer blocked every attempt.
Buddy tried his whip, but Singer grabbed it and pulled Buddy towards him and punched Buddy, sending him flying back.
Sunset tried her scepter, but Singer blockes that attack as well. Sunset regrouped with the others.
"This guy's tough." Sunset groaned.
"Now, let's add some music to this show." Singer activated his soundwaves and once again, the rangers fell to the ground in pain. Nacluv, and his minions were watching via the monitors. "Finally, we'll get rid of the rangers for good!" Marla cried.
Singer approached the rangers, preparing for the final move. "Time to end you rangers." he said.
Suddenly,
"Hush little one and say good night,
Dream of two hearts side by side~"
"Huh, what is that horrible sound?" Singer asked. Singer turned and saw Jewel walking towrds her friends while singing. Her voice began to corrput his soundwaves, freeing the rangers.
"No! You ruined my plan!" Singer cried.
"Hush little one and say good night,
Two stars shine as one tonight,
So make a wish and close your eyes,
And may your wish come true tonight~" Jewel continued.
Singer tried to attack Jewel, but the rangers blasted him with their weapons, "This isn't sounding good at all!" Singer said.
"Bring them together!" Sunseta called.
“Weapons Combine…!”
“Star Slammer… Ready!”
Singer whimpered.
“STAR SLAMMER, ULTRA-STRIKE!” The blast hit Singer and he went up in a huge explosion. The rangers all rejoiced.
"Keto!" Nacluv called.
"On it! FORTISSIMO!!” Keto launched his magical Mugic out and off to Singer's aid…
.....Singer turned into a giant! "Time for an encore!" he thundered. The rangers all gawked. Sunset contacted the base, “Launch Star Jets!”
“Summon Zords!”
As the base, the jets were already well prepped up and launched at once through the tunnel.
The jets arrived near the beach in almost no time, and the rangers beamed into their cockpits. “Okay, let's end this creep's music career!” said Sunset.
“Zords Combine!”
“Comet Striker, Armor up!” Lightning shouted as he grew big and his armor encased him.
“Jet-Star Megazord… Ready!”
“Comet Striker… Ready!”
Once the megazords was fully mobilized, it was time to brawl. Singer charged at the rangers and the megazord tried slashing him but Singer blocked the attack and bashed the megazord. Lightning tried attacking from behind but Singer turned around and dodged him then kicked him, sending him rolling across the ground. Singer then punched the megazord again, rocking the rangers inside.
"This isn't working!" Sunset cried.
Lightning help the megazord to it's feet. "Keep trying!" Lightning replied. All the while, Jewel was watching helplessly from the ground.
"I've got to help them somehow." She told to herself.
That's when the bracelet around her wrist began to glow. Jewel looked at it and a new zord stone appeared next to the falcon stone with a different symbol, "A Wolf symbol?!" The stone floated out of the bracelet and floated towards the forest near the city.
Jewel followed and ended up in a wide valley. The stone went into the ground and the ground began to rumble.
Suddenly, the wolf zord popped out of the ground; its body was light green with a white paws and a white-tip tail. The wolf zord howled and Jewel's eyes narrowed in determination.
Lightning and the megazord were looking really beat up. Now they were laying on the ground to damaged and exhausted to fight back.
"What are we gonna do?" cried Fluttershy.
Singer snickered wickedly, "Time to end your careers, rangers." Singer rushed towards the megazords, ready for the kill.
"Watch out!" Rainbow cried.
Suddenly, a green blur bashed into Singer, knocking him away from the rangers. The rangers and Lightning looked and saw a wolf zord and Jewel in the cockpit.
"Leave my friends alone!" she yelled. Singer got back onto his feet, furious!
"Your little dog's got nothing on me!" he sneered. Stingar charged the wolf zord, but the wolf zord howled and leaped high into the sky,
"SWIFT!!!" Jewel called.
The wolf zord spun around and stars came out of it's tail and hit Singar, exploding on impact. Wolf zord growled at Stingar,
"HOWL PULSE!!!"
Wolf zord howled and a stream of rings came out of it's mouth, damaging Singer even more.
"Alright Jewel!" Lightning cried.
Jewel guided Wolf Zord over to her friends, "What is she doing?" Sunset asked.
"NATURE'S BLESSING!!!"
Wolf zord reared up and leaves swirled around it. Its fired a ball of leaves of its mouth and the leaves twirled around the two megazords, restoring them to full health!
"Uh oh!" Singer whimpered, seeing the megazords back on their feet. Wolf zord snarled and rushed at Singer, it leaped up and bit him with it's powerful, sharp teeth. Singer struggled to free himself, but it was in vain. Jewel was getting rocked inside with all the shaking and turning.
"Finish him you guys! Hurry!" she called.
“Tractor-beams, capture-mode, ready!”
“Tractor-beam Engage!”
“FIRE!!”
The megazord launched their beams at the weakened monster, at the last second Jewel realeased her hold on Singer and leaped out of the way. It beam blasted him hard and actually shrinking him down. Singer was imprisoned and beamed into Sunset’s cockpit. “Monster Captured! Mission Complete!”
The rangers cheered.
Back at the base, Jewel spoke to the gang.
“Guys, I think I’m gonna Exeter the talent show.”
“Really?” Rainbow said.
Jewel nodded.
Everybody was thrilled about her decision to enter the talent show.
That Thursday night, the talent show was in full swing! Lightning was in audience along with Celesto, Celestia and their babies.
As planned, Rainbow played her guitar, Buddy painted one marvelous painting and Rhymey and Fluttershy both did a small tap dance.
It was Nikki's turn now. She was wearing high heel shoes with a blue dress with sparkles and had a necklace around her neck.
Nikki sang a song about....well....herself.

The crowd clapped for her and she went backstage where Jewel was; she was wearing a white dress with pink and purple striped on it. "Beat that." Nikki taunted.
Jewel gulped.
"And now for our final performance give it up for Jewel!" Twilight announced. Jewel came out on stage and made an announcement. "This is a song that I want to dedicate to my friends, who always believed in me." The crowd was touched by the speech and Jewel began singing;

There was a time when the road was dark
All of my dreams were torn apart
Then I found my souls,
Made some friends started on my way again
You lifted me up into the sky
Found my groove and I could fly
So don't lose hope when love's away
Cause it'll come back to you some day
Find a forever home
And I'm there right now
Been a cool journey
I will never forget
If I lose my way
Let my heart be strong
And love will surely carry me
Right where I belong
Right where I belong
You helped me break away
When all my skies were gray
Someone pulling me through
Yeah, yeah
I know the way from here
'Cause I know I'll persevere
I know I'm heading
Where the skies are blue
It's a forever home
But I'm not there yet
Made some good friends
That I'll never forget
If I lose my faith
Let my heart be strong
And love will surely carry me
Yeah, yeah
Right where I belong
Back right where I belong
The crowd stood up and roared with applause, the rangers even shed some tears.
All the competitors stood on stage, "And now the winner of the Canterlot High Talent Show is...... JEWEL!" Twilight announced.
The crowd burst into applause and Jewel was shocked that she won. Twilight came in front of Jewel with a trophy reading "First place winner!"
The other ranger came on stage and hugged Jewel.
Nikki on the other hand wss far from happy, "What how could she have beaten me?" she asked.
"Well it could be that I'm not a self-absorbed diva..... like you." Jewel replied.
Nikki gasped and nearly felt like fainting, and she did, right into Amber and Dionne’s arms.
“Oh, you are so going to rue the day you said that to us!” growled Amber.
“Totally.” added Dionne, and then she and Amber dragged their miserable leader away, much to the gang’s humor, and they shared a good laugh.
