Author's Note

Episode 2: Jewel's Hidden Spark

After a week in the medical wing, Jewel injuries were healed and now she was walking with her new friends in New Ponyville. Jewel was astounded by all the earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi and space alicorns getting along so well.

“It’s all so peaceful,” she complimented.

"Yea. So Jewel, what do you wanna see first?" Starla asked.

Jewel’s stomach growled and she blushed in embarrassment. “How about getting some food? That hospital food wasn't quite filling, hehehe." Jewel explained.

"Well then off to Cake’s Café!" Lightning stated.

Lightning an the ponies took Jewel to a large house that looked like a gingerbread house, almost.

"Welcome to our café. Why hello Lightning and everybody, who's the new unicorn with you?" Ms. Cake asked.

"This is Jewel Crystal. Can you make something for her, Ms. Cake?" Starla asked.

"Of course Starla, go on and take a seat." She replied. The ponies sat down with Jewel and in minutes the Cakes brought her an plate with bacon, steak and eggs with milk as a drink.

"Thank you." Jewel praised. She dug into her meal, loving every bite. Soon, she was finished and her stomach was a little bloated. She sighed in satisfaction and the ponies giggled.

"Enjoy your breakfast, Jewel?" Artie asked.

"Yeah. Best on I've ever had." Jewel replied.

"Good. Now come on, let's continue the tour." The ponies continued showing Jewel around New Ponyville and United Equestria. Jewel loved every minute of it. After two hours passed, the tour was over and it was early afternoon.

"Thanks for giving me this tour you guys." Jewel praised.

"No problem, chica." Dyno replied.

"Si, we were happy to do this." Myte added.

Suddenly ,the screams and panic cries of ponies could be heard in the street. A whole mob of them raced passed the ponies.

"What's going on?" Starla asked.

"I don't know, but we better find out." Lightning replied.

The ponies and Jewel ran in the opposite direction of the cries and saw the problem; a large flying serpent like creature, with dark sandy-like scaled, with a body that had to be at least thirty feet long, was roaring loudly.

“What’s that?” Jewel asked.

"A molgera! What's that doing here?!" Artie cried.

"Like my new pet?" A voice called. The ponies looked up and saw a humanoid cheetah standing on top of the molgera's head.

"How are you?!" Lightning asked.

"Name's Swift. And me and my pet are here to destroy you ponies." Swift answered, "Attack!"

"Come on guys. Let's go!" Lightning said.

"STARFLEET MAGIC!"

Lighting: "Power of Believing"

Starla: "Power of Space"

Artie: "Power of Art"

Buddy: "Power of Flora"

Rhymey: "I summon within...Power of Wind"

Dyno and Myte: "Power of Fire"

"Jewel, get somewhere safe. We'll handle them." Lightning ordered. Jewel complied and hid inside an alley.

She watches as the molgera blasted smoke clouds at her friends, who dodged all of them. Everyone tapped on a few switches on the sides of their visors, activating respiration masks so they could breathe easier.

The molgera took to the skies and uleashed a cloud of smoke, hindering the ponies vision. "Where is it?" Buddy asked. He got his answer when the molgera suddenly dove straight at the ponies and rammed them. The force sent the ponies flying, and making the smoke clear.

"Woah. That hurt." Artie groaned. The ponies managed to stand up and the molgera came charging again.

"Scatter!" Lightning cried. The ponies dodged the attack ans surrounded the creature on all sides. Starla and Buddy Rose attacked him from the left…

“STAR SHOWER”

“LEAF SWARM”

Artie and Rhymey attacked from the right...

“PAINT BOMB”

“DRILL QUILL”

And Lightning attacked it from the front.

UNIFORCE!

The attacks caused a huge explosion, but the molgrea was still able to fight.

"Let's finish this!" Lightning ordered. The team agreed and powered up their finishers and.....fired.

“UNIFORCE”

“GALACTIC PROJECTILE”

“SUPER STAFF SPIN”

“THRASH SLASH”

“BOOM-BOOM FLARE”

All of the attacks made their mark and caused a large smoke cloud to appear.

"Yeah!" Artie cried.

"We did it!" Starla added. However, to the ponies confusion, Swift was laughing, "Take another look, ponies."

When the smoke cleared, to the team's horror, the molgera was still standing, looking completely unharmed and still under Swift's control. "How can it be possible?!" Starla cried.

Swift laughed maliciously, "Face it ponies, my creature is unbeatable! WIND SLASH!"

The molgera whipped it’s tail and launched large wind-shaped shurikens at the team. The ponies took the attack and it sent them rolling into the ground and their suits de-energized. Jewel gasped softly in horror.

The molgera and Swift approached the ponies, who struggled to get back up, but have taken too much damage to do so. "Now....time to finish you pests off.... once and for all." Swift said, "ATTACK!"

The molgera was about to finish them when......

....."WAIT!" Jewel dashed out of the alley and leaped between her friends and the villains. The ponies saw this and became extremely worried. Jewel won't stand a chance against Swift and his molgera.

"Jewel.... get out of here... now!" Lightning exclaimed.

"Si.... chica!" Dyno agreed.

"It's... too dangerous." Myte added.

But Jewel stood where she was and incerdibly..... began walking towards the molgera. The creature snarled at Jewel. "JEWEL! ARE YOU CRAZY!" Lightning cried.

Jewel stayed claim as she stood only three feet away from the molgera. The molgera lowered it's head, growling, "Easy boy, easy." Jewel soothed as she offered her right hand to the molgera, who slowly stopped growling and leaned it’s head towards Jewel.

As soon as they made contact, her eyes and the molgera's glowed white as well as the molgera's body as they floated a few feet into the air. A black cloud came out of the creature and Jewel's horn glowed light pink and blasted the smoke, causing it to dissolve into thin air.

"Woah." Lightning gasped.

"Ay' Carumba!" Dyno and Myte cried. The molgera and Jewel slowly floated back to the ground and stopped glowing. The molgera, now free of Swift's control slithered back into the New Everfree Forest, while Jewel fell to the ground unconscious.

"Jewel!" Lighting cried as he caught her. Jewel was still breathing, but very exhausted and Swift seemed to have vanished as well.

A moment of silence passed and Starla broke it by saying,

"What.... just.... happened?" Starla asked.

Lightning and his team brought Jewel to New Canterlot sickbay, where she was now resting. They went to their majesties and told them everything. Another team was present five mares and a baby dragon along with a human.

One pony was a pegasus with a light blue body and a rainbow mane and a cloud with a rainbow lighting bolt coming out as her cutie mark. The second pegasus was light yellow with a pink and three pink butterflies as her cutie mark.

One was a unicorn pony which was white with a purple curly mane and tail with three blue diamonds as her cutie mark.

The other was pink earth pony with a dark pink mane and tail that looked like cotton candy with two blue and one yellow balloons as her cutie mark. The other earth pony was orange with a yellow mane and tail tied at the ends with a red band. She was also wearing a stetson hat and has three red apples as her cutie mark.

The human appeared to be 19 years old, peached colored and had short, brown hair and eyes. Finally, the dragon was purple with a green spikes running down from his head to his tail with a lime green underbelly.

They were Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Spike and Mykan Stevens.

Everybody was shown the battle through images via Lightning's friends magic. The friendship ponies, their majesties, Spike and Mykan were amazed and shocked.

"Incredible! Simply incerdible!" Grand Ruler exclaimed.

"That's amazing. She just walked up to it, touched it and removed all the evil, this Swift guy put it under." Mykan added.

"Hoo-Wee, she must be pretty powerful to do that." Applejack commented.

"Indeed. Jewel is obviously a very special unicorn." Queen Celestia agreed.

Then, Captain Shania entered the throne room, "Your majesties, Jewel has awaken." She announced.

"Good. Come, let us go see how Jewel is doing." Celestia added. Everybody agreed and follwed their majesties to the sickbay where Jewel was resting in bed.

"Hey Jewel, how are you feeling?" Lightning asked.

"Okay.” Jewel replied. She looked confused when she saw seven other beings with Lightning and the others, “Who are the others?" Jewel asked. One by one the mane 5, Spike and Mykan introduced themselves.

"My name is Mykan Stevens."

"My name is Spike."

"I'm Rarity, darling. Spike's loving wife."

"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony out of all Equestrians."

"Umm... I'm Fluttershy. Rhymey's wife."

"And I'm Pinkie Pie."

"Its nice to meet you all." Jewel greeted.

"So Jewel, how did you remove the evil from that molgera?" Dyno asked.

"Si, how?" Myte added.

"That's what we'd like to know as well." Grand Ruler added.

"I-I don't know. All I remember is touching it and everything became white for a couple minutes and then blackness." Jewel explained.

"So, now what?" Artie asked.

Suddenly, Dr. Penny came out with a shocked expression on her face.

"Dr. Penny what is it?" Celestia asked.

"Well we ran magic tests on her and..." Penny started.

"And what?" Lightning asked.

"We found that her magic levels...are that of an alicorn." Penny added.

"Meaning... what exactly?" Mykan asked.

"Jewel has powerful alicorn magic." Penny replied.

Eveverybody was amazed and were shocked! None of them could have predicted a unicorn having alicorn magic. Nobody could guess how or why Jewel's magic was that powerful.

"That's impossible!" Lightning gasped.

"Woah!" Starla said.

"Incredible" Queen Celstia added.

"Is this bad?" Jewel asked nervously.

"No! Not at all Jewel, but with your alicorn magic, you will need assistance in taming these new abilities of yours." Grand Ruler explained, "and we know the perfect teacher... Lightning Dawn." Queen Celestia said.

"Huh! What?" Lightning asked.

"Lightning, you've studied all kinds of magic under my teaching. Now you will tutor Jewel and help her fully control her magic and combat abilites as well." Celesto repeated.

Lightning thought for a moment, "Okay. I'll do it!" He said.

"Yeah!" Jewel said with joy.

Everybody smiled at Jewel's excitement.

That night, everybody went home and Lightning and Starla led Jewel to their house. "You can sleep in our guest room, Jewel." Starla offered. Ewel nodded and headed upstairs ti the guestroom.

It was just like any normal room; completely with a dresser, closet and a bed. Jewel put on the new PJ's that Rarity made for her and climbed into bed.

"What a day. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow." Jewel thought.

With that, she closed her eyes and drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

In our next episode; Jewel's magic training begins and she shows great progress. But she gets put to the test when her friends are captured by Sombra and Chyrsalis.

Will Jewel's training pay off?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic...

"From Training to Ultimate Test"

Chapter 4: Wild Instincts

Two weeks have passed since Jewel became a member of Lightning's unit. Their majesties gave Jewel her very own super suit completed with the Starfleet insignia, showing she was a member of the force. The insigna itself was replaced with a special-transforming badge... an Energizer... which still had the same marking of a Unicorn and a single wing!

Her visor, like all her friends, was the most important piece of equipment. Each visor had a set of various incredible functions.

-Heat sensory
-X-Ray
-Infrared vision
-Sound Scan
-Radar
-Telescopic magnification
-Medical scan
-Power scouting
-Database retrieval

Also, all Starfleet suits as well their fighters fought under a specific elemental or attributed force. Jewels was 'Power of Animals' meaning she can use animal-like abilities in battle like climbing, running or even pouncing.

Right now, Jewel was in the training dojo with all her friends and their majesties. "Okay Jewel, I want you to change into a wolf, like you did before and break these three targets." Grand Ruler ordered. "Okay, Your majesty." Jewel concentrated and her whole body began to glow and in a bright flash, she changed into a wolf.

Her wolf form had white fur with yellow lightning bolts all over it. Jewel howled and rushed at the targets, leaping up, she slashed all three targets in one move!

"Awesome!" cried Rainbow.

"Alright Jewel!" cheered Pinkie. Their majesties were impressed as well. "Now Jewel, you will spar against Starla with your wolf powers." Grand Ruler added. Jewel nodded.

Soon she and Starla were ready to spar, "Here I come Jewel." Starla called. Jewel growled playfully. Starla charged Jewel and tried to tackle her, but Jewel swiftly leaped to the side and pounced onto Starla instead. Starla kicked Jewel off and tried to punch her, but Jewel dodged again and retaliated by ramming into Starla, sending her to the ground.

"Hold!" Celesto stated. Starla let out a breath of relief.

"Excellent, both of you." Celestia commented.

"Thank you, your majesty. Nice sparring Jewel." Starla added, but Jewel didn’t respond, "Umm Jewel?" Jewel began to growled aggressively and turned towards the ponies, her once pink eyes were now blood red.

Jewel suddenly lunged at the group but they all dodged, "What's going on with Jewel?" Lightning asked. Jewel pounced onto Lightning, baring her teeth, but she was kicked off by Dyno and Myte. "Jewel, calm down!" Dyno cried. "Please chica!" Myte added.

Jewel didn't listen and launched a energy sphere at the gang. "We've got to clam her down!" Lightning cried.

"Right!" Lightning and friends rushed over to Jewel and they each held her to the ground. Jewel was struggling and snarling, trying to escape. "Ugh... now what, Lightning?" Buddy asked. Sudddenly, Jewel's body glowed yellow and in another flash, Jewel was back to normal and unconscious. Everybody let go of her, still shocked and dazed by what happened.

Ummm... what just happened?" Pinkie asked.

Jewel was soon in the sickbay resting, while her friends were in the throne room discussing, "What do you think happened to Jewel?" Lightning asked.

"I don't know. It was like she lost control." Rainbow replied.

"But that can't be true! She was in control when she rescued us." Artie stated.

"There may be more to the story than we know." Celestia added.

"What do you mean, your majesty?" Krysta asked.

"Perhaps Jewel, lost control for another reason. Unfortunately, it is unclear what the reason is." Grand Ruler said.

"Maybe Zecors knows?" Fluttershy asked. Their zebra friend knew all about strange and powerful magic.

"She might. Let's go see." Lightning suggested. The ponies went to Zecora's hut and explained the situation.

"Do you know what's happening to her, Zecora?" Pinkie asked.

"From what you all have told,
Jewel has simply lost control." Zecora replied.

"But how? When we were captured by Sombra and Chrysalis, Jewel was in complete control when she transformed?” Lightning asked.

"Jewel's animal magic control is sour,
For now, it's simply too much power,
You all must help her gain control,
Or else she may lose her role." Zecora explained. The ponies understood what Zecora was asking of them; to help Jewel gain control of her powers, or else she may become too much of a danger to be around her friends, or even be in Starfleet.

"Alright Zecora, and thank you." Lightning praised. What they didn't notice was Swift was listening in and heard everything, "Wait till the others hear this" he thought then he teleported away.

Sombra and Chrysalis, along with the minions were surprised by the news. "So Jewel Crystal can't control her animal magic yet, huh?" Chryslias asked.

"Thats what I heard." Swift replied.

"Excellent, we can use this to our advantage." Sombra sneered. The others were confused.

"But how, your majesty?" Carla asked. Sombra snickered and told everyone the plan.

Jewel's eyes fluttered open and she was greeted by many colored blobs. Blinking a couple times, her vision cleared up and revealed Lightning and friends, along with their majesties.

"Hey there, sugarcube. How are ya' feelin'?" Applejack asked.

Jewel groaned, "My head hurts." Fluttershy came over to Jewel and placed an ice pack behind her head, "Here you go, Jewel. This should help."

"Thanks Fluttershy. So what happened to me?" Jewel asked.

The ponies were reluctant to tell Jewel, but they knew they had too.

"Well.. you see Jewel, during your training session with Starla.. you kinda.... went to out of control." LIghtning replied, slowly.

Jewel gasped, "Out of control?!"

"I'm afraid so," Grand Ruler added, "Zecora said that you don't have complete control over your animal magic. So you’ll have little episodes until you learn to fully control it."

"But how?" Jewel asked.

"Don't worry darling, we'll help you." Rarity said.

"Indeedy." Pinkie added.

"We got your back." Applejack promised. Lightning and the others nodded as well. Jewel smilied gratefully at all her friends, "Thanks guys."

Just then, Dr.Penny came into the room, "Alright everyone, Jewel Crystal needs her rest. You all have to come back tomorrow." she ordered, gently.

One-by-one, the ponies left the room, only leaving Lightning and their majesties in the room. Lightning placed his hand over Jewel's, "Don’t worry Jewel, you will control your animal magic. It just takes time." he reassured.

"Okay Lightning." Jewel replied. After that, Lightning and their majesties left Jewel's room so she could rest. Everybody exoted the sickbay and saw Lightning with a look of sympathy on his face.

"Lightning, are you okay?" Starla asked.

"This is just like me and my Enticorn powers." he replied. Everybody knew what he was reffering to; after Lightning unlocked the powers of the Enticorn, he had little to no control over it and went wild during battles, almost hurting his friends.

Now, Lightning is worried about Jewel handing the same problem.

"Don't worry, Lightning, we'll get Jewel through this. Just like we helped you get through it." Starla comforted. Lightning smilied at his fiánce.

"We'll be with her every step of the way." Dyno added, "Si, all the way." Myte said.

Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia smilied proudly at their subjects. They were willing to do everything they could to help Jewel learn how to control her new animal magic.

The next day, Jewel was realeased from the sickbay and was with her friends in the training dojo.

"Okay Jewel, in order to control your animal magic, you need to stay calm." Lightning stated. Jewel nodded and concentrated, her body glowed and she changed into a wolf.

"Alright, now try breaking the targets without losing control, okay?" Lightning asked, slowly. Jewel nodded and dashed towards the targets, she jumped and slashed the targets with her front claws, brewing them in half!

"So far, so good" Everybody thought.

Next, they had Jewel run five dimensional-light years on the treadmills. She got through it without losing control. The ponies had her lift weights and perform target practice, Jewel got through still calm.

Now was the true test; sparring. It was Jewel vs. Buddy. "You ready, Jewel?" Buddy asked. Jewel nodded.

Busy charged Jewel, who leaped out of the way and pounced on him. Jewel leaped off Buddy, allowing him to get up. Buddy bought our his whip, "VINE WHIP..!!" Buddy extended his whip towards Jewel but she leaped and flipped over him, landing on all fours. She unleashed "WOLF CHARGE..!!", blasting an energy stream at Buddy. It hit him and knocked him down.

"Hold!" Grand Ruler called, "Nice work."

Buddy stood up, "Thank you, your majesty," he said, "Nice footwork, Jewel..... Jewel?"

Everybody turned to Jewel and saw in horror as get eyes turned red once again!

"Oh no!" Lightning thought.

Jewel roared and pounced into Dyno and Myte, but she was quickly pulled off by Lightning and Starla. Jewel squirmed violently in their arms and broke loose. She blasted energy attacks at all her friends, who dodged.

"She's going beserk!" Artie cried.

Jewel snarled and bared her teeth and began jumping violently into the walls, "She's going to hurt herself!" Lightning cried. Their majesties couldn't watch this for another second. They turned to each other and nodded. Together they used their magic to hold Jewel in place. Jewel was wiggling violently, howling and snarling until she suddenly grew quiet and glowed, changing back into her normal self.

Jewel's eyes squinted open and she was greeted by the concerned and slightly afraid faces of her friends.

"I lost control again, didn't I?" Jewel asked, scared. All her friends reluctantly nodded. Tears began to come out of Jewel's eyes and she suddenly rushed out of the training dojo, "Jewel! Wait!" Lightning called out as he and his friends rushed after her, including their majesties.

Jewel didn't listen and kept running and running, until she was on the outskirts of New Ponyville, in the forest.

All her friends could do was watch as she vanished into the forest.

That afternoon, their majesties sent a search party to find Jewel but sadly, they all came back with nothing. Meanwhile, Lightning and friends were trying to figure out what went wrong.

"She was fine with the target practice and running. But when she got to sparring again, she lost control." Krysta summarized.

Lightning was trying his hardest to figure it out. Then he remembered something Twilight told him long ago....

Lightning felt exhausted after that outburst, and his head was aching. “What am I going to do?”

“For one thing, you can quit the dramatics.” said familiar voice. “Huh? That voice…! Am I hearing things.” he stammered “Twilight…? Where are you?” Then he gazed down in the puddle by his feet, and saw his reflection morph into Twilight’s Angel-corn.

“Twilight, is it really you?”

“No, it’s your fairy-god pony. Of course it’s me.”

Lightning almost didn’t know what to say or even think. He hadn’t seen the spirit of his friend in a long time, and seeing her just now made him happy and sad at the same time. “Listen to me Lightning, I don’t have a lot of time, but I’m here to help you just a bit.”

“Help me, how?”

“Lightning, you remember when you faced King Sombra? Well, all you have to do is think. Just think about what you were feeling.”

"Maybe that's it?" Lightning said.

"What's it Lightning?" Rainbow asked.

"Maybe, the reason why Jewel keeps losing control is because of an emotion." Lightning stated.

"An emotion?" Rarity asked.

"Yes. Maybe the emotion Jewel feels when she changes into a wolf, causes her to lose control." Lightning added.

"But what emotion could she be feeling?" Pinkie asked.

"Based on the last two events, she it looks like combination of fear and anger." Lightning predicted. The others thought he was correct, except Rainbow, "Jewel! Angry?! Puh-lease, she's about as soft as Fluttershy. No offense." she stared.

"Yes, but anger came bring out the worst in ponies. In Jewel's case, her anger made her lose control." Lightning replied.

"So she just needs to learn how to control her anger." Starla added.

"But we've still got to find her first." Buddy added. Suddenly, screams and cries of panic filled the streets. Lightning and returns saw Swift, Carla and Bron walking in the street.

"Let's go!" Lightning ordered. The ponies ran towards the minions and confronted them. "What are you three doing here?" Artie snarled.

"Isn't it obvious? We're here to destroy you. Without your precious little unicorn, you're defenseless!" Carla declared.

"We'll see about that!" Pinkie snarled.

"STARFLEET MAGIC..!!"

"HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER..!!"

"DRAGON POWER..!!"

The minions charged the ponies. Starla and Buddy fought Carla, Lightning, Rhymey and Buddy fought against Bron and the girls and twins fought against Swift.

Starla and Buddy punched and kicked Carla, but she skillfully blocked they're attacks. "SCREECH..!!!" Carla blasted soundwaves at the two, forcing them to cover their ears.

"Agh..!! My ears..!!" Starla cried.

"Mine too..!!" Bbuddy added.

Carla then dashed at Starla and Buddy and she slashed them hard, sending them to the ground.

The girls and the twins weren't having much luck either, Swift was just too fast. Everytime, they tried to attack him, she dashed out of thw way and clawed them.

"Eat this, SPEED BOLT...!!"Swift covered himself in electricity and charged thw ponies, sending them flying and dealing their suits ninety percent damage!

Lightning saw this and was horrified but couldn't go and help his friends becasue of Bron. He repeated attenpted to charge Lightning who dodged but every kick and punch Lightning threw, barely did any damage, not even a scratch.

"Pathetic, HORN BARRAGE..!!" Bron's horns glowed and blasted multiple balls of energy at Lightning, sending him to the ground.

"Lightning....no!" Starla groaned. All the fighters were on the ground with only a little power left in their suits.

"Now...what?" Dyno asked, "They're... just.... too... strong." Myte added.

The minions laughed wickedly. "Looks like the tables have turned permanently." Swift sneered. His comrades nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of New Ponyville, Jewel was crying in a small cave. "I'll never control my new powers." she thought miserably.

"Don't say that Jewel." a voice said. Jewel perked her head up. "Twilight?!... Is that you?!" In a bright flash of light, Twilight's angel appeared.

"What... What are you doing here?" Jewel asked.

"I'm here to help you."

"How?"

"In order to control your powers, yippy have to control your emotions first."

"Control my emotions?"

"Yes. Your anger is making you run wild."

Jewel was shocked, "I.... I never thought of that."

"Controlling your emotions can help you control your powers."

"I think I get it."

"Good, Now you should put out to the test. Your friends are in gave danger."

Jewel gasped, "They need you, Jewel." Twilight added.

"Alright Twilight." Jewel praised, "And thanks." Twilight nodded and she vanished. Jewel walked out of the cave and saw New Ponyville. She narrowed her eyes and dashed towards it, determined to help her friends.

Swift, Carla and Bron approached Lightning, planning to destroy him trust. "Time to get rid of the most annoying pony first." Swift sneered. All three of them preapred to blast him, "NOOO...!!!" the pther cried. However, before they could....

"STARFLEET MAGIC...!!!, Power of Animals..!!"

"Huh?"

"What?"

Jewel came in and kicked the minions away from Lightning. "Jewel?!" the ponies cried both relieved and surprised.

The villians were not happy. "You'll pay for that!" Bron snarled. Bron charged Jewel but she leaped out of the way and quickly changed into a wolf. "HOWL PULSE"
She blasted the minions hard, landed safely on the ground and howled. Swift stood up and started dashing all over the place.

Jewel, remebering what Twilight said, concentrated and was able to pinpoint where he was going to strike. When he was beyond her, Jewel turned around and bit his arms and spun around and him flying into his comrades.

"Awesome!" cried Rainbow.

"Alright Jewel!" added Pinkie.

The minions knew they were defeated, this time.

"Ugh well get you next time ponies!" Carla cried.

With that she and her comrades vanished.

Jewel, still in her wolf form walked up to Lightning. The others feared she was about to lose control again. But amazingly, she started licking his wounds and nuzzling him. Lightning rubbed her neck, making Jewel wag her tail.

"Looks like you have control over your powers now, Jewel." Lightning commented. Jewel nodded.

Jewel's eyes suddenly glowed yellow as well as LIghtning and his friends. They began floating in the air. "What's going on?" Rainbow sked.

Jewel growled softly and Fluttershy translated, "She said that she’s taking us to the sickbay to get healed."

"We can get their ourselves Jewel." Rainbow replied. Jewel shook her head, not buying it. Before long, the gang was in the sickbay with their wounds healed. Their majesties came and heard the glorious news. Jewel, no longer in her wolf form, was at her friends bedsides.

"Well, Jewel, Lightning told us that you've finally controlled your animal magic." Grand Ruler stated.

"Yes, your majesty." Jewel replied.

"And now you can use it to help your friends." Celestia added. Jewel smilied proudly. Now with her magic under control, who knows what she can do!

In our next episode; The ponies give Jewel a new vehicle to help to get to emergencies quick. It gets put to the test when the New Ponyville Dam breaks and swepts her friends away in the raging current.

Will Jewel and her new ride come through?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic...

"Jewel's New Ride"

Chapter 5: Jewel's Wild Ride

One day, the ponies were in at new Canterlot for a meeting with their majesties. They said they had something special for Jewel. "Thank you for coming everybody." Queen Celestia greeted.

"What is it, Master?" Lightning asked.

"This is a matter involving Jewel." Grand Ruler replied.

"Me?!" Jewel asked.

"Yes, we've made something for you Jewel to help you get to missions and emergencies faster." Queen Celestia add. "Bring it in, Professor!"

The main doors to the throne room opened and Professor Brain came in pushing a magenta, torpedo-shaped vechicle. It has a small cockpit for the pilot, two fins on the side and a fin on the back. It's tail looked like shark's.

Everybody looked at it in awe and wonder.

"Woah, what is it Professor?" Lightning asked.

"This is Jewel's new vehicle." he responded.

"It looks like a pink shark." Pinkie commented.

"Me and they're majesties designed this baby, for any kind of terrain." Brain added.

"Even space travel?" Rainbow asked.

"Indeed. This vehicle won't be effected by the teleportation powers of the dimensional universe."

"Incredible Professor!" Buddy exclaimed.

"And I also made this little backpack for you too Jewel." Professor Brain handled Jewel a pink, square-shaped backpack. "It has all kinds of tools that can prove to be helpful as well."

"Thanks." Jewel praised, "So when can I try this puppy out?"

"You can try right now in the throne room." Grand Ruler offered.

"Yeah..!!" Jewel cried.

"Make sure to drive safely and carefully!" said Grand Ruler.

"I will." Jewel replied. She climbed into the vehicle and started the engine. It floated about seven feet off the ground, Jewel pushed on the controls and it moved forward really fast. She did loops and sharp turns all around the throne room.

"YEE-HAW! THIS IS AMAZING..!!!" she cried. She drives the vehicle out of the throne room while the others laughed softly.

“I think she like it.” Pinkie teased.

“Now she’ll have a faster way to get to emergencies.” Artie added.

Suddenly, the alarms went off and Captain Shania burst into the throne room in a panic. "Your majesties! Your majesties!"

"What is it captain?" Celestia asked.

Shania caught her breath. "The New Ponyville dam broke somehow and the waters heading right towards New Ponyville!"

Everybody gasped. If they don’t stop the water and fix the dam, all the water would rush out and wipe out everything in its path for miles-- Towns, forests, farms, and all. Even with the force fields activated it wouldn’t be good. The water would still weaken the foundations and soggy up the lands. "Come on, let's go!" Lightning called.

"STARFLEET MAGIC!"

“HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!!”

The ponies flew out of palace and approached the dam. There was a huge crack in it and water was gushing out! The gang landed about seven yards from the raging water.

"We've got to stop the water!" Lightning cried. He and his friends unleashed their attacks.

UNIFORCE"

“STAR SHOWER”

“LEAF SWARM”

“PAINT BOMB”

“DRILL QUILL”

“BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS”

All of the attacks hit the water..... but they had no effect at all. "Try again. More power!" Lighting ordered. Lighting poured all his power into his horn and his friends powered up their finishing attacks and fired again....

“UNIFORCE”

“GALACTIC PROJECTILE”

“WHIPLASH STRIKE”

“SUPER STAFF SPIN”

“THRASH SLASH”

“BOOM-BOOM FLARE

....The attacks combined with the water but it had no effect again. "Not good! We need a bigger force to stop this." Starla stated.

Such force has arrived. "Look!" The gang saw Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia arriving on the scene with the rainbow rod in hand.

"We are here to help." Celestia stated.

The two royal alicorns combined the rainbow rod and transformed into Grand Celestial Ruler. The Ruler flew in front of the ponies and fired "MYSTIC LIGHT" at the water but like the last two times, it had no effect. The ponies were shocked.

"What now?" Dyno cried.

"Look out!" Myte cried. Before the ponies knew it, the water swallowed them up and carried them along.

Back at the palace, Princess Luna, who saw everything, was desperately worried, especially after what what happened. Jewel drove her vehicle into the room, "That was cool!" she exclaimed. She saw Princess Luna by the palace window with Goldwin.

"What's wrong?"

"The New Ponyville dam broke and the water is heading straight towards New Ponyville. Lightning and the others, including my sister and her husband tried to stop it but it seems that the water is immune to their powers." Luna started, "And now they're trapped in the raging current." Goldwin finished.

"Oh no!" Jewel cried in horror.

"Now there's no way anypony can stop the water and save them. The current is too strong. There's has to be something that can do both." The three of them thought long and hard until, "What about Starburst?" Jewel asked.

"Who?" Luna asked.

"The vehicle Professor Brain and their mjeaties made for me. Brain said that it could handle any terrain. I think it's time to see if it's really true." Jewel added with determination.

Lightning and his friends were struggling to stay float, clinging to The Ruler with all their strength. "Hold on everyone!" The Ruler cried.

"Galloping Galaxies! What are we gonna do?!" Lightning cried. Just then, the gang saw an torpedo-like vehicle heading their way.

"What in United Equestria is that?" Rarity asked. The ponies looked closer and saw a familiar pink alicorn driving the vehicle. "JEWEL?!" Jewel circled her vehicle above the gang, deactivated the sturdy glass dome around her and called out, "Don't worry guys, I'll get you out of there!"

"Hurry! We can't hold on much longer!" Starla cried. Jewel stood up. The ponies saw a pack on Jewel's back and one side opened up

"Lasso out!"

A lasso came out and Jewel grabbed it. Placing her backpack safely in Starburst, Jewel placed the rope in her mouth.

“Well here goes nothing.” she thought.

Jewel leapt off of Starburst, heading right for the water. Suddenly, a light blue beam hit her from out of nowhere as she changed;

Her arms turned into fins and her legs and tail merged together and become one tail. A dorsal fin appeared on her back and her muzzle grew long. Jewel had turned into a dolphin. Her dolphin form was aquamarine time dark blue fin tips.

Jewel dove into the water, with the rope in her mouth and she swam around her friends, tying the rope and tightening it. Jewel leaped out the water again and changed back into her normal self and she sat back down in the cockpit and activated the dome. Jewel pushed hard on the controls.

“Hang on guys!” Jewel called. Starburst sped off, the ponies were yanked out of the raging water and into the sky.

"WOAH!!" they cried.

Jewel flew all the way to New Canterlot and set the gang down in the royal palace garden. Jewel flew back towards the raging water which was almost at New Ponyville.

"Let’s do this" she thought.

Jewel drove Starburst into the water and began driving in a circle, gaining speed with each one. Soon, the water began to spin around as well and it made a huge water spout. The ponies saw this from the royal palace and were shocked.

"Incerdible!" Grand Ruler said.

"Cool!" Lightning added.

Jewel managed to move the tornado inside to the broken dam while at the same time used her magic to floated the dam's broken pieces back into place, repairing the dam. When it was conpletely fixed, Jewel stopped circling and let the water fall on the other side of the dam.

Jewel flew back to New Canterlot where her friends were waiting. Jewel exited Starburst and her friend immediately praised her about her actions.

"That. . . was. . . AWESOME!" Rainbow dash exclaimed.

"Nice transformation sugarcube ." Applejack complimented.

The Ruler defused back into Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia.

"Very good work Jewel. You saved New Ponyville from what could have been a major disaster." Grand Ruler stated.

Jewel blushed in embarrassment.

"Hehe. It was nothing."

"That's not true Jewel, you saved the town and us." Lightning replied.

"Awww, guys, you're embrassing me." Jewel replied. The ponies laughed.

Later that afternoon, an investigation of what happened brought up surprising results.

"Swift broke the dam?!" Jewel cried.

"Indeed. The video shows him smashing the dam until it broke." Celestia answered.

"But why would he do that?" Starla asked.

"That is unknown." Grand Ruler said.

"For now, we must continue to be vigilante, who knows what Sombra and Chysalis will throw our way next." Celestia warned.

In their spaceship, Sombra and Queen Chrysalis were watching Jewel through their dark orb.

"She does have powerful magic indeed," Sombra said, "Magic we must have."

"Yes. And we will not stop until that unicorn and her magic are in our hands." Chrysalis added. Sombra and Chrysalis laughed wickedly.

In our next episode of Starfleet Magic; The ponies find out that Jewel never had a birthday celebration before.
So they decide to give her the best birthday ever.

Can the ponies pull off this party?

Find out in the next episode...

"First Birthday"

Episode 6: First Birthday

One day Jewel was at New Cantrlot sickbay for her monthly check-up by Dr.Penny.

"Okay Jewel, now open wide." she said.

Jewel opened her mouth and Dr. Penny examined her mouth. "Looks good. Now I just wanna ask you a few questions."

"Okay Dr. Penny." Meanwhile, her friends and their majesties were in the waiting room. "Oh. I hope Jewel's okay." Fluttershy said, worried.

"I'm sure she's fine, Fluttershy." Lightning reassured. Just after he said that, Dr. Penny and Jewel came in. "She's as fit as a fittle, everybody." she announced, "You're free to go Jewel." With that, Jewel happily exited the sickbay while Penny talked to the ponies.

"Is something wrong?" Lightning asked.

"Well... yes and no. There's nothing wrong with Jewel but when I asked her about her background..... well just take a look."

Penny handed Grand Ruler Jewel's medical files and the ponies circled around him. So far they saw nothing wrong.. until...

"How come there's no birth date for Jewel or her parents names?" Pinkie asked.

"That's the thing. When I asked Jewel about them she said that she didn't know her birthday or her birthparents because she doesn't have one."

All the ponies gasped in shock and horror. "No birthparents... but that can't be true!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"She must have birthparents, if she's alive!" Fluttershy added.

"We need to ask Jewel why,
The reason may be clear as the sky." Rhymey suggested. Everybody agreed and went off to find Jewel.

They found her walking down the hallway singing a 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

The ponies approached her. "Hey Jewel. Can we talk to you?" Lightning called. Jewel heard them and walked up to them. "What is it?"

"Well after you left the sickbay, Dr. Penny told us that you didn't have a birth date or birth parents listed in your medical records." Grand Ruler started. Jewel's face changed from happy to depressed, "Do you want to tell us why?" Celestia asked.

Jewel sighed, "Yeah..... the reason I don't have birth parents or a birthday is because.... I kinda.... wasn't... raised by ponies." Jewel replied slowly.

The ponies looked at her confused, "If you weren't raised by ponies, then who were you raised by?" Starla asked.

"I was kinda.... raised by..... wolves."

Everyone’s mouths hung open and their eyes widened in shock. "Raised by wolves!?" Spike repeated.

Jewel nodded. "B-But how can you be raised by wolves? You're a pony!" Lightning added.

"Well...." With that Jewel began to explain everything. "It all started seventeen years ago....

Baby Jewel, only a few months old was crying in a basket covered up to her neck by a pink blanket. She was in a deep, dark forest, with no sign of her parents around.

The bushes near her began to rustle and out came two wolves; One was silver while the other was black. The wolves were followed by six other wolves. All of them looked curiously at the creature in the basket.

The alpha female approached the basket and looked at baby Jewel, who babbled and attempted to grab her muzzle. The female smiled and nuzzled her, causing her to giggle.

My wolf mom said to my wolf dad 'We can't leave her here, she needs us.' My wolf daddy knew better than to argue with my mom so he allowed her to adopt me.

The alpha female took the blanket, baby Jewel and all, into her mouth and carried her back to the den. She placed baby Jewel down and cuddled up against her, placing baby Jewel against her stomach.

Soon baby Jewel’s stomach gurgled and she started to whimper. The alpha female used her muzzle and nudged baby Jewel to one of her nipples, where she started suckling. The alpha female only watched for a few minutes until baby Jewel stopped suckling and burped, with milk around her lips.

The alpha female licked the milk off of her, making baby Jewel giggle. She babbled and grabbed her wolf mom’s muzzle. The alpha female tickled baby Jewel with her tail, causing her to laugh. The alpha male came into the den and baby Jewel stared at him. Getting out of the blanket, she crawled over to him and looked up at him.

They were like that for a moment until baby Jewel reached out her little arms towards him. The alpha male smiled and lowered his head towards her, letting her grab it and babble. The alpha female came over and picked up baby Jewel and took her back to the corner of the den, placing her against her stomach once more.

The alpha male came and laid next to her, just in time for him to hear baby Jewel yawn and say “Mama….. Dada.”

Both wolves nuzzled baby Jewel.

From that day on, my wolf parents raised me, until I was seventeen. Then it was time for me strike out on my own. So I went from planet to planet until I came here and that’s it.”

When Jewel finished her story, Dyno, Myte and Pinkie were close to tears, "Ay’ Ay’ Ay’ That's so beautiful!” Dyno sobbed. “Si, I never heard anything so sweet.” Myte added.

Pinkie blew her nose into a hankie, “That's the sweetest story I ever heard.” she sobbed. The rest of the friends were amazed, even their majesties. “So why don’t you have a birthday, Jewel?” Lightning asked.

“Hmmm… I can't remember the exact day my wolf parents found me.” Jewel replied. “I’m gonna go to the library to read.”

The ponies felt bad for her. Jewel walked away from the ponies towards the library for some reading.

“Poor thing.” Starla stated.

“There must be something we can do to cheer her up.” Rainbow added.

Suddenly, Rarity had an idea, "Maybe we could throw a birthday party for her?"

Hearing that, Pinkie’s mood instantly change from sad to excited, “That’s perfect! We’ll all plan Jewel a birthday party. Yeah!” Pinkie cried.

“If she even knows what that is.” Rainbow grumbled.

“Rainbow that's low,
It's not Jewel fault that she doesn't know" Rhymey said.

“Anyway, it looks like we have a first birthday party, to set up.” Lightning said.

All his friends smiled and agreed.

That night, Jewel went home while the ponies were allowed to stay at the palace, with their majesties permission to start planning Jewel's birthday party.

"So when can we do it?" Artie asked.

"Well a week from today will be the same day Jewel met us. So that will be the day." Lightning stated. Everybody agreed with that. "How can we keep Jewel away long enough to get everything ready?" Buddy asked. Pinkie began hopping up and down, "I know, I know, I know!" she declared.

"Easy Pinkie, just tell us." Lightning said.

"A scavenger hunt! We can send Jewel on a scavenger hunt for her presents!" Pinkie said. Everybody liked that idea.

Rhymey and Fluttershy were put in charge of the scavenger hunt.

Starla and Lightning's friends were in charge of decorations.

The girls were in charge of the food and etc.

The next morning, Jewel woke up and stretched. The sun was shining bright and the sky was clear. Jewel got out of bed and put her clothes on. She went into the living room, but to her surprise, she didn't see Lightning nor Starla.

"Huh? Weird. Where are they?" Jewel thought. She went into town and to each of her friends house.... only to find them empty. Jewel was really confused. "Where is everybody?"

Suddenly a small, folded piece of paper appeared in front of her. "What's this?" Jewel asked herself.

She grabbed the paper and unfolded it. There was a message inside the paper;

Hi Jewel,

If you are reading this then you've started your birthday scavenger hunt for four presents left by your friends.

To find them all you must follow these clues.

Here's the first one:

To find the first gift will be a treat. To to the place where stuff smells sweet.

"Stuff that smells sweet." Jewel repeated to herself. "Hmmmm.... The Cake's Café!"

Jewel walked to the Cake's Café and saw her first present in front of the door. Using her magic, she picked it up and saw another note on the box. It read:

Good job! You are doing great.
Now go to the place where measured is your weight

"Where you get your weight measured. The hospital!" Jewel said.

Jewel went to New Ponyville Hospital and saw her second present up on the roof leaning over the edge. Jewel took the box in her magic and found a third note.

Now go to the place where their majesties live.

"New Canterlot? But why would I go there?" Jewel asked herself. She shrugged and used her magic to teleport to New Canterlot. She walked to the royal palace gate where layed her fourth present; this one was bigger than the other three.

She picked it up and held it in her arms. She found the last note, which ready;

Now go to the throne room for your special surprise

Jewel went to the throne room and opened the door to find the room completely dark. "Hello! Anybody here?"

Suddenly, the room lit up and all of Jewel's friends even the royal ones and Abra leapt out yelling SUPRISE..!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEWEL...!!!

Jewel could hardly believe her eyes. Several tables with plenty refreshments were set up and all her friends hugged Jewel.

"Solo did you like your presents didyoudidyoudidyou?" Pinkie asked quickly.

"Pinkie, I haven't even open them yet." Jewel replied.

"Well that can wait! LET'S PARTY!" Pinkie cried. The party began, there were songs and cake and games, especially one of everyone’s favorite game, Ship-Battle; a magical game that was played with illusions consisting of ships at sea. They split into two teams, males vs. females; Captain Celesto VS Celestia of the Seas

Celestia’s team seemed to be on the verge of a comeback. Starla gazed through her telescope. “Enemy sighted, Captain.” she said playfully. Celestia nodded. “B5 and H7” and her ship sailed into position. “…Artillery, fire!” and the magical beam was fired at Grand Ruler’s ship, hitting it full force. “A direct hit!” cried Lightning “One more hit and we’re sunk.”

“Surrender, Captain Celesto.” Celestia playfully called over. “Surrender!!” hollered the girls.

Grand Ruler simply smirked “The war is not over until it is over, Celestia of the Seas.” he said. “G6 and H7-- Fire!” Their shots missed and the girls teased the guys, but Celesto smirk widened and motioned above them “Have you forgotten about the aerial search?” The girls gasped and looked above and saw three of the guys soaring over them. “BOMBS AWAY!!” and they dropped the bombs but before they could hit the girls ship.

"Ooh Jewel~" Celestia sang. Jewel sprang up in her wolf form and batted the bombs away with her tail, sensing them back to the boys ship.

"INCOMING..!!" Grand Ruler cried. The bombs exploded on the guys ship, sinking it and winning the girls the game.

Everybody shared a laugh and had cake. Jewel cut it into equal pieces and shared it with her friends. Suddenly cake was splattered onto Fluttershy and Rhymey's faces.

Jewel was shocked until she saw Rainbow with a cake-covered hand, pointing and laughing at them. The girls surrounded Rainbow smirking at her. Rainbow smilied nervously. The girls threw the cake at each other covering each ither in cake. The girls laughed.

The girl's started a conga line with Jewel in the front and Lightning and his friends joined in.

Abra Kadabra had been especially invited to do a magic show at Celestia’s request. Everyone was glad he could come, especially Goldwin. We’re it not for his magic, he wouldn’t have his enchanted mask and he would still be just a statue.

Abra even invited Jewel to perform in an act with him, in which she stepped into a clear box and could still be seen by everyone, and a magic manacle over her horn preventing her from using her own powers. “Ready…” Abra shouted “Three… two… one…!” he clapped his hands, and the box exploded; both it and Jewel were gone, much to everyone shock. Rarity fainted, completely overwhelmed, and Fluttershy hid behind Rhymey.

“What happened to her?” asked Lightning.

Abra turned and smiled smugly to everyone “Why, there’s no reason to be alarmed…” he took off his hat, held it in midair and Jewel popped right out and landed on her feet, safe, unharmed, and still with the manacle attached to her horn. “That was incredible, Abra.” she said. Abra bowed to her and the cheering audience.

Finally, it was present opening time, "Open mine first!" Pinkie suggested.

Jewel opened Pinkie's gift; it was her one little cookbook. "Woah.... Thanks Pinkie." Jewel said. Jewel opened the test of her friends presents; Rarity and Starla gave Jewel a necklace and a dress with pink stripes and white stars in it. Buddy gave Jewel a bouquet of pink flowers. Artie have her a painting of two wolves, one gray and the other black. They looked just like her parents.

Finally, their majesties gave Jewel the larger box she found outside the palace. “Here you go. This one is very special." Celestia stated.

Jewel opened it and pulled out the gifts and everybody gasped in awe at what they were; an incubator with an egg in it. The egg was yellow with black stripe, “An egg?! Where did you find this?!" Lightning asked. Grand Ruler and his wife smirked, "We know some ponies."

Suddenly the egg began to glow brightly. Jewel set it down gently on the floor and the egg began to take the shape of a creature.

It is primarily light brown with a darker brown muzzle, paws, and ear tips. It has large blue eyes, button ears, a short muzzle with a triangular pink nose, and a short tuft of fur on each cheek. Around its neck is a ruff of grayish-white fur stubbed with dark brown pebbles. The dark brown markings on its paws extend to a thin point on each wrist and ankle. It has a grayish-white tail that curls tightly over its back and is covered in fluffy fur.

It yawned and looked at the first thing they saw.... Jewel. "Hi there, little one." Jewel greeted. The creature cried happily and leaped into Jewel's arms knocking her over and nuzzling her face.

"STOP IT! HAHAHAHA! THAT TICKLES! HAHAHAHA..!!!" Jewel cried.

"It is so cute. But what is it?" Rarity asked. "It’s a Rockruff." A voice replied. Everybody turned and saw Mykan at the doorway. "Sorry I'm late for the party."

"There a what and a what, Mykan?" Lightning asked. "A Rockruff is an rock-type pokemon."

"Poke-what?" Rainbow asked.

"Pokemon or pocket monsters and creatures that come in all shaped, sizes and types."

"So when you say Rockruff is a rock-type. You mean?" Starla asked.

“Rockruff can use rock type attacks." Mykan replied.

The ponies were amazed. Rockruff looked at their majesties and walked up to them. It pawed Celestia's grown. "Awww, I think she likes you, your majesty.”

Celestial giggled, “It think you’re right.”

Jewel smiled at all her friends, “Thanks you guys. This is the best birthday ever...!!!” Jewel cried.

All the friends smiled and laughed. They continued partying into the night.

In our next episode; Twilight tells Jewel of a powerful staff that will help in the war and she sets out to find it. While her friends battle against a monster sent by Sombra and Chrysalis.

How will these events turn out?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic....

“The Staff Search”

Episode 7: The Staff Search

It was a peaceful night in United Equestria. Jewel was resting peacefully in Lightning and Starla's guest bedroom, until she began to have a strange dream...

Jewel found herself in a large void with stars all around her.

"Hello? Is anybody there?"

A figure began to approach her and before there, right in front bt of Jewel was Twilight's angel. "Twilight? What are you doing here?"

"Hello Jewel, I am here to tell you of a powerful weapon that can help you in this war." Twilight replied.

"A weapon?"

"Yes. It is called the 'Staff of Animal Spirits' it's a powerful staff that can summon the spirits of animals."

"So its like my powers?"

"Yes. In a way."

"Woah. So how do I find it?"

"The staff is hidden on the planet Allura."

"Okay Twilight. So how do I find it?"

"You will know when you get there." With that the void began to waver and Jewel woke up.

Jewel awoke calmly and pondered about what just happened.

The next day she told all her friends, including Mykan and they were all at New Canterlot Palace with their majesties, who were already informed about Jewel's dream.

"So basically, Twilight came into your dream and told you of a powerful staff that can help us in this war." Lightning summarized.

Jewel nodded.

"This is very interesting, this is the first time I've heard of this 'Staff of Animal Spirits'." Grand Ruler added.

“Me too, but if it is as powerful as Twilight claimed then we must find it.” Celestia added.

"Twilight told me that it's on Planet Allura." Jewel added.

"I've read about that, it filled with all kinds of creatures." Lightning stated.

"Then Jewel, you must go to Planet Allura and find this staff at once." Queen Celestia said.

Hearing that, caused Jewel start to get a nervous stomach. Going to another planet... by herself... this was something that she never done before. Who knows what could happen to her. Mykan seemed to sense her worries and asked,

"Excuse me, your majesties. May I go with Jewel?"

The ponies were surprised by Mykan's question, but they agreed that it would be a good idea for Jewel to have some company with her. "We can't just leave her alone." Lightning said.

"Yeah. Especially with Sombra's forces after her." Pinkie added. Their majesties agreed as well and gave Mykan permission to accompany Jewel on her first space trot.

The friends all pitched in and helped Jewel and Mykan pack for their quest; Applejack, Buddy and Pinkie Pie gave them all sorts of food. Rarity gave them warm clothing. "Thanks you guys." Jewel thanked, "Yeah. Thanks a lot." Mykan added.

"No problem you two." Lightning stated.

Mykan brought his Sword of Pure Soul, Shield of Righteousness and cape along for the quest, in case they ran into Sombra's minions.

Soon everything was ready and the dimensional pathway was ready. Jewel hugged all her friends, "Please be careful." Starla pleaded.

"I will." Jewel replied.

"Don't worry. I'll keep her safe." Mykan added.

"Good luck on your quest, Jewel." Queen Celestia praised. Jewel and Mykan bowed to her and they enetered the pathway.

Lightning and Starla were still worrying about Jewel, "Do you think she'll be okay, Master?" Lightning asked.

Grand Ruler smiled at his student, "Don't worry Lightning, she will be fine." What none of them realized was that Carla was secretly watching from one of the palace windows. "What until the others here this." she thought to herself and she vanished away.

Jewel and Mykan made it to Planet Allura safe and sound. Jewel was immediately amazed by the variety of wildlife; Pheonix's, Hippogriffs, even buffalo and four-legged alicorns, Pegasus and unicorns!

"Amazing!" Myakn gasped, "so Jewel any clue as to where to start looking?"

"I wish I knew, but Twilight didn’t give me any clues." Jewel replied.

"Ummm... Jewel, why is your horn glowing?" Mykan asked. Jewel looked up at her horn and saw to her surprise that it was blinking. Her horn sent out a magical blast on the ground and made a path of crystals that led deep into the forest.

"Looks like we found our path." Mykan replied. Jewel and Mykan followed the path into the forest; trees were so thick that they could barely see where they were going. Wild animal noises came from all directions, making Jewel nervous. Jewel slightly shivered with fear, which Mykan noticed and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Easy Jewel." he soothed.

That calmed her down.... until the bushes near the two rustled. Mykan immediately jumped in front of Jewel, sword drawn, ready to attack whatever was about to come out of the bush. A figure came out of the bush slowly and looked at Mykan and Jewel. "Hello." it greeted, catching Jewel and Myakn off guard.

It was too dark for Mykan and Jewel to see it clearly, but based in the voice, it was determined the figure was male. "What are you two doing here in the Dark Forest?"

"We're on a quest to find the Staff of Animal Spirits but we can see anything in this forest." Jewel explained.

"That's all? I can help you guys. Just follow me." the figure offered. Myakn and Jewel accepted the request and followed it out of the Dark Forest and into the sunlight, which made it easier to see the figure.

It looked like a anthropomorphic alicorn it had dark blue, dragon wings, scales from head to tail. Its body was light blue and it had a golden mane. "Sorry that I didn't introduce myself back there. My name is Midnight."

Jewel and Mykan looked at each other and back at Midnight, "Ummm... Midnight.... I dint mean to be rude, but what exactly are you? I've never seen anything like you." Mykan asked.

"I'm a Kirin-- a pony and dragon hybrid." Midnight replied.

"Really? Cool?!" Jewel exclaimed, "My name is Jewel and this is Mykan."

Myakn waved at Midnight, "Hey."

"So you still want to help us, Midnight?" Mykan asked.

A big, goofy smile made it's way to Midnight's face, "You bet!" he replied, excited. "Great! Let's get moving!" Jewel said. Jewel, Mykan and their new friend Midnight continued following the crystal path.

Back on United Equestria, Lightning and friends were at the Cake's Café for lunch. Lightning was still worrying about Jewel which didn't go unnoticed by his friends, "Lightning, darling, relax, Jewel has Mykan with her. She'll be alright." Rarity stated.

Lightning sighed, "I know, but I can't help but worry for her."

"We're all worried about her, but she's shown to all of us that she can care for herself when she wants to." Buddy added.

Everybody nodded.

"Yeah. You're right, guys. She'll be fine." Lightning said, with confidence. The friends all smiled.

Suddenly, cried of panic were heard from outside along with a loud "BOOM"

"What in the hotel-bills was that?" Applejack asked.

"Something not good. Let's go!" Lightning ordered. The friends raced out of the café and saw what had the ponies spooked; a large, black octopus about twenty feet tall with white suction cups and brown spots on its back. It was crawling down the street using its massive tentacles to hit houses and the ground causing major damage.

Ponies ran into their respective houses and the shields came up.

"Let's do this!" Lightning called.

"STARFLEET MAGIC!!!

HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER..!!!

DRAGON POWER!

The octopus swung one of it's eight massive tentacles at the gang. The fled out of the way and attacked.

“STAR SHOWER”

“LEAF SWARM”

“PAINT BOMB”

“DRILL QUILL”

BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS"

The attacks made their marks, but the octopus didn't even flinch! The octopus grabbed Starla in one of it's tentacles.

"Starla!" Lightning cried.

"VINE WHIP" Buddy extended his whip and whipped the octopus making it let go of Starla. Lightning rushed over to his fiance, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. I'm good."

"DRAGON FLAMEWHEEL" Spike curled up in a blaze and charged into the octopus. However, it's smooth body caused it to take minimum damage.

The octopus opened it mouth and launched multiple projectiles at the ponies. The ponies dodged like crazy, but still got hit hard.

The blasts left their suits with only ten percent of power left!

"This isn't working," Applejack grumbled, "We need a bigger force!"

Such a force had arrived, "Look!" shouted Pinkie.

The ponies turned and saw Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler land in front of them. The octopus roared at them.

"We are here to help." Celestia stated.

The ponies smiled with joy.

The octopus roared and swung it's tentacles at the royal ones launching, sharp, spinning blades at them.

Their majesties flew out of the way and blasted the octopus with their magic, however the octopus waved it's tentacles and deflected the attack! "No way!" Buddy cried. Their majesties were just as shocked. The octopus roared and charged at the ponies.

Meanwhile, Mykan, Jewel and Midnight continued following the crystals, until they came to a large clearing.

"Odd.. the crystals end right here." Mykan stated, "But where the staff?"

Midnight squinted his eyes and saw something sticking out from the ground in the middle of the clearing. "Hey, what's that?" he asked, pointing to the object.

Mykan and Jewel saw it as well. Just then, Jewel's horn began glowing again as well as the object. It magically floated out of the ground and over to Jewel.

"Woah." the boys whispered.

Jewel cautiously grabbed the object and she got a good look at it.

It was yellow with animal paw prints on it and five rainbow stones. The first one was red, second one was yellow, the third one was green, the fourth was blue and the fifth was purple. The top had an upside down crescent under an glowing orb.

Jewel knew exactly what it was, "The Staff of Animal Spirits! We've found it!" Jewel cried. Suddenly, the stones each appeared with a different symbol; Lightning, Grass, Water, Earth and Fire.

Then nine cards appeared in Jewel’s hand as well. The colors matched the stones.

The stones then floated over the gems and magically merged together. The boys were amazed and excited at the same time.

"Alright!" Mykan added.

"Sweet!" Midnight added. Their celebration was cut short when Mykan spotted one of Krysta’a fairy soldiers rushing towards them. "Major Jewel, Mykan! There's trouble in United Equestria!" it stated.

"What's wrong?" Jewel asked.

“One of Sombra and Chrysalis monster is attacking the gang and they need your help.” the fairy soldier replied.

“Right, let’s go!” Mykan stated. “I’m coming too.” Midnight agreed.

The fairy soldier warped all of them to New Ponyville and immediately saw the danger.

The friends were in big trouble! The octopus now had all the ponies in it’s tentacles, including their majesties!

Lightning, the girls and their friends super armor suits were gone, meaning they’ve taken too much damage from the beast.

“Not good,” Midnight said, “We’ve got to help them.”

Mykan agreed and rushed towards the octopus, shouting, “HEY..!!” Mykan called.

The octopus and the ponies saw the trio. “Mykan! Jewel!” Pinkie cried.

“SAVE US..!!!” Rarity screeched.

Mykan draw his sword and leaped at the octopus. It launched it's shuriken blades at him. He dodged them all and slashed the octopus on the head. In retaliation, it swung its tentacles that had their majesties in it.

“Okay. Now that’s cheating!” Midnight called.

“WOAH! WOAH! WOOOOOAAAAHHHH!!” their majesties cried. One of the swings hit Mykan, sending him to the ground.

“Mykan!” Jewel cried.

Jewel rushed over to Mykan and helped him to his feet, "Are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm good." he groaned

The octopus blasted multiple mud bombs at the two. Jewel stood in front of Mykan and created a powerful shield around them both. The octopus was furious! Jewel dropped the shield, thinking desperately about how she can save her friends and defeat the octopus at the same time. "Oooooh, what do I do now?”

Suddenly, the Lightning Stone in the staff began to glow as well as the card. Looking between the two, Jewel knew what she had to do.

The octopus roared violently with the ponies struggling to break free. Their majesties, Rarity and Starla blasted the beast with their magic, but like before, it had little effect.

“Agh… it’s no use! We’re goners!” Pinkie cried.

“HEY..!!” The ponies and octopus looked down to see Jewel standing in front of it.

“Jewel..!!! No…!!” Lightning cried, “It’s too strong!” Starla added.

Jewel held the staff and the card. It glowed bright yellow and Jewel slashed the card over the stone and exclaimed,

"STARFLEET SLASH! PENTACERATOPS, CHARGE!

The card changed into dinosaur that was twenty feet long and it wasn’t yellow with brow marking all over its body. It had long horns and a small nose horn as well.

(Like this)

Pentaceratops roared.

The ponies, even their majesties were completely shocked and amazed.

"Incredible!" cried Grand Ruler.

"Cool!" added Lightning. Pentaceratops charged the octopus and rammed its horns and lifted its head, actually lifting the creature off of the ground and flying through the air.

The octopus landed with a "THUD"

"Pentaceratops," Jewel called, "you got to free my friends. Hurry!"

Pentaceratops roared and charged the octopus again. It bit down on four of its tentacles. It roared in pain and left go of their majesties and the girls. Midnight quickly flew in and caught Fluttershy and Rarity.

"Thanks." Fluttershy said. Midnight nodded and flew them to safety.

Pentaceratops constantly rammed the octopus, causing it to let go of Lightning and his unit. They all dashed to safety and watched the battle.

"Look at it go!" Buddy cried.

"It's amazing!" Dyno cried.

“Si, very powerful!” added Myte.

Even their majesties were surprised by the power of this creature. Jewel was watching, trying find a way to end this battle once and for all.

“I’ve got to end this and fast, but how?” Just then, seven sets of seven cards appeared in front of her; each belonging to each element.

Jewel took one of the lightning move cards and swiped it saying, ”ELECTRIC CHARGE!”

Clouds began to form above Pentaceratops and lightning hit it, entering its body and charging up. Pentaceratops roared and everybody gasped in awe. The octopus nervously roared and Pentaceratops charged full force into the creature, tossing it up into the air.

It landed on the ground hard and exploded. It turned back into a normal octopus which scurried away into the nearby river.

“Awesome! They did it!” Rainbow cried. Pentaceratops roared in victory.

After that everybody went to the lab and Professor Brain examines the stones inside the staff. What he found astounded him and the lab ponies.

“Incredible!” he cried, “these stones have the life essence of all the dinosaurs that ever lived!”

“So when Jewel slashed the cards with the right stone, they were activated?” Lightning asked. “Yes, but there is another way. When a dinosaur card comes in contact with one of elements like a flame or even a bush, the card will also activate.” Brain explained.

The ponies exchanged looks of awe and wonder at each other, “Looks like your staff has it’s own animal powers now.” Rainbow states, nudging Jewel.

Jewel smiled embarrassed.

“Well done Jewel and Mykan, now with this item we have an advantage in this war.” Grand Ruler stated.

“And we have a new kirin friend.” Lightning added.

Midnight smiled.

In our next episode...

A boastfulness unicorn named Sizzle comes to New Ponyville and the ponies look for Jewel to help. However, she fears that her friends will not like her anymore after seeing how others thought of Sizzle.

Will Jewel overcome her doubt to beat the unicorn?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic....

“Magic and Honor”

Episode 8: Magic and Honor

It's been peaceful for the last four weeks. No attacks, just ponies going on with their buisness.

Over the months, Jewel's magic had increased dramatically!

Now she could even perform the most difficult and advanced spells. Her friends and their majesties were very proud of her.

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

Jewel blushed.

"Yeah. You must be the most magical unicorn in United Equestria." Starla declared.

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

“No way!” Spike replied, “You’re probably as powerful as Twilight and their majesties.” Jewel rolled her eyes playfully at her friends praises.

To her, her magic was just a regular part of who she was, no matter how powerful her magic is, she’ll always be just an ordinary unicorn.

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, Mykan, Midnight and their majesties, were going to see it. Jewel, Starla, Lightning and their majesties were in the front row.

Soon, a light red unicorn with a yellow mane came out on stage performing her tricks. The unicorn’s name was Sizzle.

Everypony loved her tricks, but their was one thing that annoyed ponies....her bragging.

Sizzle went on about being trained by powerful creatures, boasting about there was nobody who could surpass her.

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

Midnight and Mykan rolled the eyes, “Pfft, Yeah right. She probably lose to Jewel in two seconds.” Mykan retorted.

“I agree.” Midnight added.

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

Unfortunately she did!

"So, you, think you can beat me? 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.

“Yeah! Go Lightning!” Mykan added.

"Can your magic do this?" Lightning challenged.

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 said.

Sizzle then used her magic on a lightning cloud and made it twirl around Lightning and when it stopped there were six lighting clouds. Sizzle then made them shock Lightning with electricity.

“Oh no!” Midnight cried.

“Lightning!” Starla cried in horror.

Lighting yelled in pain and fell over. Starla and the entire crowd gasped. Starla immediately rushed over to her husband.

"Lightning, are you okay?" She asked.

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

Starla helped Lightning stand and led him back into the crowd.

“That was just cold!” Mykan stated.

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 sneered.

"Oooooooooh." The crowd said.

Nobody disrespects their majesties like that!

"Let’s have the magic speak for itself." Grand Ruler challenged.

"Works for me" Sizzle agreed.

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.” Sizzle declared.

“You can’t do that! Jewel doesn’t want to duel you, Sizzle!” Mykan objected.

“Oh silly human,” Sizzle responded, “I’ll make the mare an offer she can’t refuse.”

Mykan and Midnight felt their stomachs churning from anger and concern.

“Whoever is the winner will be dubbed 'the most talented pony' and the loser..... leaves New Ponyville FOREVER! And if you forfeit you’re still considered the loser." Sizzle proclaimed.

Everybody, including their royal majesties, gasped in horror.

“See you tommorow, Jewel. Be prepared for exile. HAHAHAHA...!!!”

With that, Sizzle packed everything up and left. Their majesties immediately held a meeting to discuss what happened. Lightning’s friends were shocked!

Rainbow.... "Leave New Ponyville. Forever?!"

Pinkie.... "That's crazy!"

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

Dyno... “Si chica.”

Myte... “It’s not worth it.”

Spike... “Yeah. What they said!”

"I have no choice. Even if I forfeit, I'll still have to leave." Jewel explained.

“But Jewel, you can beat her.” Artie reassured.

“Yeah. Your magic is amazing!” Midnight agreed.

“They’re right Jewel, you’re better than her!” Spike exclaimed.

“B-But I’m not better than anybody. I’m just an ordinary unicorn in New Ponyville.” Jewel replied, "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.

“Yeah. Someone needs to put her in her place.” Pinkie stated.

“And Jewel’s the only one who can.” Applejack added.

But guys, it’s obvious that Jewel doesn’t want to do that.” Mykan defended.

"Master, what do you think is going on with Jewel?" Lightning 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.

"Jewel?! Scared? Of what?" Midnight 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." Mykan predicted.

"I believe Starla is right
Jewel is scared of showing her magical spark, which is bright." Rhymey said

"But what can we do?" Buddy asked.

“We can’t just force her to do this.” Mykan added.

"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. When she woke up she had 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?" she asked herself.

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 closed 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.

“Do you think she left?” Rainbow asked.

“No way,” Mykan stated, “She’ll be here. I know it.” Midnight added.

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

"Not so fast!" a voice said.

Everybody turned and saw Jewel on the other side of the field. She walked over to Sizzle with the Staff of Animal Spirits in her hand.

"Look who showed up." Sizzle taunted.

"I’m not afraid of you anymore Sizzle." 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 aiming her staff at four clouds in j the sky. Taking a deep breath, she concentrated and the staff’s orb and the clouds glowed yellow, grew and turned into four, howling wolves. The crowd was in awe.

“Alright Jewel!” Mykan called.

“Keep it up!” Midnight added.

Sizzle was not amused.

Next, Sizzle then made herself invisible and reappear in front of Jewel. Jewel used the staff to make six cat spirits appear.

The cats all leaped into the air and blasted a pulse of energy out of their mouths. They combined and exploded into many sparkles in the sky.

"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.

“Jewel!” Mykan cried.

“Look out!” Midnight, Lightning and Starla cried.

Before it could hit her, the staff glowed and made a barrier around Jewel.

Sizzle growled.

The barrier dropped and Jewel sent a magical wave from her staff at Sizzle. It blasted her back, but she managed to stand back up.

“Alright! That’s the last straw! Sizzle snarled. Sizzle blasted the staff out of Jewel’s hand, where it landed in Lightning’s hand.

Then, she unleashed a powerful burst of fire magic from her horn, Jewel put up a shield to protect herself but Sizzle’s magic broke through and collided with Jewel and sent her flying and crashing into the ground.

Her clothes were badly burned, but she still managed to stand up. The crowd was shocked.

Sizzle slowly walked over.

"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 declared.

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.

“Galloping Galaxies!” Lightning cried.

“Oh my god!” Mykan cried.

Their majesties, Mykan and Midnight took to the sky and rushed out of the crowd and into the forest.

“There!” Celestia called, pointing to a crater on the forest floor. They rushed to the center and found Jewel in the center.

Jewel was in bad shape! Her whole body was smoking, clothes were badly hurt as well as her skin. Face covered in bruises and she even had a black eye. Also, her left leg and right arm were bent at awkward angles.

“Oh my.” Mykan whispered.

Grand Ruler lifted Jewel up with his magic, "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.

"Don’t worry, 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.

"Uggh... what happened?"

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

“But now you’ll be better soon.” Mykan reassured

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

"No, Sizzle was disqualified for intentionally harming you in the 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, the staff came into the room, “Okay, does that thing have like a homing device on Jewel?” Mykan asked, a little annoyed.

Jewel began to glow light red as well as the staff. It sent out a wave and Jewel transformed.... again.

Her fur was replaced with pink scales and her hands and feet turned into claws. Jewel grew a pair of dragon wings and she gained sharp teeth in her mouth.

“Galloping Galaxies!” Lightning cried, “the staff turned Jewel into a dragon!”

“Looks like she has dragon powers now.” Artie said.

“Awesome!” Rainbow and Midnight exclaimed at the same time.

“Well it looks like you’ll be gaining more powers Jewel.” Grand Ruler stated.

Jewel smiled at everybody.

In our next episode...

After and encounter with witv Ace a ray jewel is revealed a new powerful animal spider and a dangerous angerside. The ponies fear that her anger may eventually consume her so they remove it from.

How will this effect Jewel and the ponies?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic....

“Angerside”

Episode 9: Angerside

His name was Ace Ray, once a proud Wonderbolt who got discharged and dismissed for poor acts of conduct, and constant mockery towards the Starfleet comrades whom he loathed and despised for reasons that were defiantly not true.

He accused them of…

-Blaming them for the destruction of Equestria
-Turning the world into a tightly controlled police state
-Being monstrous murders that killed creatures without reason.

…Of course none of this was true, but he simply refused to believe it. It was suggested he take courses and seek professional help for his unbearable attitude, but he refused, and instead of getting better, he grew worse!

He would gather friends who felt the same as he did and started pep rallies trying to persuade people that Starfleet was no good and deserved to be punished, beat up, or killed, but nobody else supported them and merely ignored their every word. They loved their new world, and appreciated Starfleet and their dedication to fighting evil, and they knew that Ace Ray was nothing more than a petty-minded bully that everyone but his group of mockers seemed to loathe and despise the way he despised Starfleet. “They blew up our planet!” he would whine “How can you support cold hearted killers?”

“They did no such thing!” he would get as a response “And they don’t do things without reason. They are far better ponies than anything you will ever be, you failure!”

Even his own sister Skye didn’t wish to support her brother, namely because her friend, Major Rainbow Dash was now a full-fledged Wonderbolt and member of Starfleet, and the fact that she found respect and honor for Starfleet since day one. This made Ace Ray so mad that he ultimately threatened to beat up his own sister from time to time unless she complied with his way of thinking, to which she angrily refused.

Everyone suggested, begged her, to get Ace Ray some help, but every time she thought about it she completely went the other way, almost as if she were too much of a coward to go through with it, to the fact that she was just as stubborn as her brother some time, and felt she could help him herself.

Rainbow Dash constantly checked up on her, and was worried about her friend, and would sometimes think about turning Ace in herself, but Skye insisted she not do it.

One day, Jewel was with her friends watching at the Cake’s Café for some breakfast, including Mykan and Midnight.

Rainbow Dash came along after finishing her patrol rounds along with Rhymey and Fluttershy. “What up chums?”

Her friends smiled. “All is quiet I assume?” asked Lightning.

“Yes sir, Admiral.” Rainbow said as she saluted. “Too bad I can’t say the same about Skye.”

“She’s still down hard about her brother?” asked Starla.

“Who’s that? Jewel asked.

“Ace Ray.” Lightning replied. “He’s a little temperamental.”

“Pfft. A little?” Starla scoffed.

Rainbow nodded and explained to Jewel that Skye’s brother and his friends were getting more and more out of control with their mocks and outright spite of Starfleet and those who sided with him. “He still blames you guys and says you destroyed Equestria.” Rainbow added referring to Lightning and his team.

“I don’t understand.” Jewel added.

The gang winced, knowing that they’ve haven’t told Jewel everything that happened before she came here, being that it was classified information.

However, seeing that it was necessary they explained to her the Great War, when Unicornicopia and Equestria were both destroyed and United Equestria was formed from its remains. When they finished Jewel was amazed.

“But we didn’t, and everyone else knows that.” said Lightning “Well, everyone except him that is.”

“He mocks us all day and night.
I think he’s really looking for a fight.” said Rhymey.

Everyone felt very annoyed, but they decided to let it slide. So far, Ace hadn’t done anything to violate any of the laws seriously, and unless he did they were to take no action. Also, it was hard for them to get even so much as a word out to Ace as he didn’t care to listen and always assumed he was in the right and just mocked and picked at them more.

That’s when the soft sounds of the morning were broken by the sounds of an angry mob lead by Ace came marching into the area hollering bad things about Starfleet and holding signs which also gave bad messages. “Humph!” grunted Starla “Just pretend you don’t see them.”

Everyone in the entire café simply turned their backs to the miserable mob. “Hey!” snapped Ace “We’re talking to you. Starfleet has got to go!” His mob of friends seemed to agree with him, but everyone in café just ignored him completely, and passersby took no notice and just walked right past the buffoon.

Ace had finally taken enough of being ignored and walked right into the outdoor dining area at the café. “What’s wrong with all of you?” he shouted “You’ve been brainwashed by these losers! They’ve ruined our whole world!”

Still, no one cared to even notice him and his pointless whining.

“They’re murderers; they go on killing everything they deem as evil. They never once thought of talk and reason. You know what they are, violent, evil sneaks, and they turn our world into a police state, watching us all day and night.”

Mykan and Spike was starting to lose his patience and wanted nothing more than to see him get trashed for all he was spewing. They stood up, but Lightning told them to calm down. “Just ignore him you two.”

Rhymey agreed with her and said…

“There’s no need to make a fuss
There is nothing he can do to us.”

Ace turned and marched angrily over to the table. “And you… will YOU STOP WITH THAT RHYMING!!” he screamed.

Rhymey glared at him angrily and picked his ear.

“I fail to see why you yell and mock.
There’s nothing wrong with the way I talk.
My entire family speaks in rhyme.
We have been doing so for a long, long time.
There is nothing wrong with the rhyming I do.
But if you think so, then something’s wrong with you.”

His voice was sounding angrier, but Starla cautioned him to cool it, but Ace continued to be as rude and obnoxious as ever. “You lousy bunch of murdering tyrants…! You’re not going to intimidate me. You’re all the same, just like the wonderbolts. I’m almost glad they threw me out so I don’t have to see what disgraces they’ve become.”

Rainbow really hated it when someone insulted the wonderbolts, and stood up angrily to protest. “Take it easy, Rainbow.” Fluttershy said “I mean… he is just expressing his opinion.”

“That’s right.” mocked Ace “And if I think that you’re all stupid and retarded for allowing all this into our world with no objections, well that’s my opinion too.” his friends in the mob laughed and applauded him for the mock.

Jewel didn’t like how Ace was harassing her friends and she decided to do something about it. She got up from her seat and approached Ace and his mob making her friends were immediately worried.

“Jewel! No! Don’t!” Rainbow whispered.

“Jewel come back, now!” Applejack stated.

“Has she lost her mind!?” Buddy asked.

“What is she doing?!” Pinkie added. Lightning knew that she was breaking regulations by doing this, but he was interested at what she was doing to do.

Ace saw Jewel and scowled, “What do you want!”

“Can you not harass my friends Ace?” Jewel asked.

Ace growled, quickly growing upset with her. “No! Because they are stupid and don’t deserve any respect!”

“Like you?”

The whole café went “Ooooooooooooh.” Nobody has ever stand up to Ace before.

Ace was not amused at all. “You wanna go there, you little punk!” he shouted.

“Go where?”

“HERE!” Ace aimed a punch at her but before he could land the blow, she dodged it. Lightning and his friends sighed in relief.

“Leave my friends alone.” Jewel stated.

“No way! Those losers deserve it!”

Jewel’s blood began boiling and clouds began to form around her and separating into four separate clouds. Suddenly, she began to glow again.

“What in United Equestria is going on with Jewel?” Rarity asked.

“No idea.” Mykan replied.

When the light died down, Jewel changed again;her fur changed tan and she got down in all fours. She grew a large bushy, golden mane and and thin tail with a tassle of fur on the end. Her hands and feet turned into powerful paws with three-inch long claws. When the glow was gone, Jewel had taken the form of a lion!

She roared at Ace and his mob, who were was backing away from her. Ace was the only one who stood his ground. “That’s all you got? HA! You really are pathetic!” he sneered. “Just like your retard friends.”

Jewel snorted aggressively and bellowed, “I..... said...... leave.... my... friends... ALONE...!!!” As soon as she said ‘alone’ she roared like a make lion and the four clouds turned into four roaring lions.

The wind from the roar was so strong that it blew Ace Ray and his angry mob all the way out of New Ponyville!

Jewel stopped roaring and the clouds disappeared. Everybody in them café was in shocked. A moment of silence passed.

Pinkie broke the silence asking, “What just happened?”

After that, they all met at Lightning and Starla’a house. Lightning wrote a letter to their majesties about the incident.

“That... was.... awesome, Jewel!” Rainbow yelled, “You showed him what for!”

“Yeah! You put that punk in his place for sure!” Spike added.

Even though Lightning was impressed as well he said, “Jewel, you know that you broke regulations by what you did. Right?”

Jewel lowered her head in shame. “Yes.” she said quietly. Lightning then placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. “However, you did a very brave and noble deed defending us like that.”

Jewel smiled at that, which disappeared instantly when she heard a cough at the door. Everybody turned around and saw Grand Rulet and his wife.

“We got you message, Lightning.” Celestia stated. “Where is Jewel? We’d like to speak with her.” Jewel walked nervously towards their majesties.

“H-Hi your majesties. I know I broke regulations, I’m sorry.” Jewel apologized.

“Jewel while you did break regulations, that is not what we’re here for.” Celesto replied. “We’re here to discuss the amount of power Jewel displayed.” Celestia added.

“You saw Jewel roar and the clouds turning into roaring lions too?” Pinkie asked.

“Indeed we did.” Celesto said.

“And according to the lab ponies, the power Jewel displayed was very tremendous, almost as strong as my uniforce.” Grand Ruler stated.

The ponies were all astonished and amazed.

“Cool.” Rainbow added.

“Is it bad?” Jewel asked nervously.

“No, it’s not bad jewel, but we may have figured out the reason.” Celesto replied.

“What is it, master?” Lightning asked.

“We think that after she transformed all the anger she felt from Ace Ray’s insults towards you causing her to release into the powerful roar.” Celestia theorized.

“So is it dangerous?” Mykan asked.

“Yes. We fear that all the negative energy from her anger may eventually cause her to transform into an wicked being of darkness, like my sister did long ago.” Celestia stated.

Everybody gasped at such a thought. “So until Jewel really needs it, we will keep her angerside contained.” Grand Ruler stated.

Everybody was confused. “Contain it? How?” Midnight asked. Their majesties smirked.

Soon everybody found themselves in Professor Brain’s lab and Jewel was wearing a helmet with an antenna on it next to a large glass cage-like machine.

“So what’s this thing, Professor?” Mykan asked.

“It’s my emotion visualizer. It’ll tap into Jewel emotions and contain them indefinitely.

Brain began turning the dial and a emotion came in; it was blue and crying, “Why so I feel like crying forever.” It sobbed.

“Oops, wrong channel.” Brain said. Turning the dial again another emotion came in this one was black and gray. “Why is this taking so long?” It asked in a reply bored voice.

“Nope, that’s her boredom.”

Turning the dial again, another emotion came in this one was pink and red with a big smile on it’s face. “I love you forever. Hehehehe!”

“Aww, that’s her love response. One more time.”

Professor Brain turns the dial again and this time her angerside came in; it was completely red with a yellow horn. It roared viciously. “Got it!” He pressed the button and the anger came out of Jewel and into the machine.

Jewel’s angerside looked at her with the friends with an angry look.

“Anger separation complete!” Brain declared.

Rage Jewel roared. “Incredible every ounce of Jewel’s rage in now trapped inside the machine.” Celesto stated. Rage Jewel was thrashing around in the cage like a bull on a rampage.

“I don’t feel any anger at all. WOO-HOO!” Jewel cried now feeling extremely happy.

“Ahh! Your ear!” Brain cried pointing at Jewel’s ear which caught on fire. Jewel didn’t see her fire caught ear. “Huh?”

Mykan quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher and blasted the ear as well as all of her face.

“You okay Jewel?” he asked.

“Better than okay. I feel great.” Jewel replied. Rage Jewel was scratching it’s ear which had a burnt mark on it.

“Fascinating. Looks like the emotions are not completely separate. I’ll stay here and monitor this.”

“Alright Professor.” Celestia replied. Everybody left the room but not before Rage Jewel roared at them.

Later that day, Jewel and friends were walking down the street of New Ponyville when....

“Hey losers!”

Everybody groaned in annoyance and turned around to be met but Ace Ray and his mob again.

“What are you doing here?” Ace snarled.

“We live here.” Rainbow grumbled.

“Just to come back and control everybody like us usual.” Ace replied.

Everybody was very annoyed with Ace. Jewel walked up to him. “What do you want, little punk?!” Ace snarled.

“Can you leave my friends alone please?” Jewel asked with a smile. “They haven’t done anything wrong. They’re great ponies.”

Ace snarled viciously. “I’m gonna beat the Starfleet love out of you, if you don’t stop talking.” he threatened.

Rage Jewel in the lab, flared up its horn with an anger expression and growled, barring its teeth.

“Yikes. Anger levels rise drastically!” Rage Jewel roared.

“Why? You should like Starfleet too. Hehehe.” That was the last straw for Ace. He punched Jewel in the face. Bystanders and her friends gasped. Jewel stood up again and just blinked at Ace.

“Ooh, you want more huh?” Ace asked. “Guys.”

Ace’s mob move towards Jewel in a threatening manner. “Why is she just standing there?” Mykan asked with worry.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll beat them up in no time.” Rainbow said with pride. However, Jewel was doing no such thing.

She was just standing there while Ace and his mob punched and kicked her. She fell the ground. Jewel wanted to fight back but something was holding her back.

Meanwhile at the lab, Rage Jewel had grown twice as large and snarled and roared viciously. “Woah! Rage levels escalated!” Brain cried. Rage Jewel continued roaring.

Their majesties came into the lab. “What isn’t going on here?” Celestia asked, sternly. Rage Jewel then broke the cage.

“That’s what!” Brain whimpered. Rage Jewel burst out of the lab and dashed off to New Ponyville.

Meanwhile, Ace and his mob were still beating up Jewel. Lightning couldn’t take the sight of this his anymore. “Let’s move.” he snapped. The others were about to dahs in there when Rage Jewel came in and bashed Ace and his mob away from Jewel, who now had bruises and wounds all over her body.

“Jewel’s anger! How’d that escape?” Mykan asked. Rage Jewel went over to jewel and licked her with its soft tongue, whimpering with worry. The friends rushed to her side.

“Jewel!” Midnight cried. Jewel didn’t move or respond. “Quick! Let’s get to the sickbay.” Mykan said.

Mykan picked up Jewel and everybody rushed to New Canterlot Palace. Soon, Jewel was all bandaged up and placed in a hospital bed. Meanwhile, everybody else was in the throne room, discussing what happened with their majesties. “So Jewel didn’t react at all to Ace Ray’s insults to you all?” Grand Ruler asked.

“That’s completely unlike her.” Celestia added.

“I believe I can shed some light on this mystery.” Professor Brain said as he entered the throne room. “Jewel’s rage kept magnifying for some reason.”

“It did?!” Everybody asked.

“Yes, it broke out of the cage and went to New Ponyville.”

Now everybody was suspicious. “Maybe Jewel rage sensed her anger wanted Jewel to say how she really felt but without it, she couldn’t.” Mykan said.

“It think you may be right, Mykan.” Celestia added.

“Her anger allows Jewel to say how she feels,
Without it, her words are not real.” Rhymey said. Everybody now felt bad and silly. They took away an important emotion from Jewel that allowed her to protect herself and now she was in the hospital because of it. “We made a big mistake.” Rainbow said. “Yeah, we shouldn’t have messed with her emotions in the first place.” Starla added. Their majesties were glad that the ponies learnt their lesson. “So... now what?” Fluttershy asked.

Jewel’s eyes fluttered open and the first thing she saw was her friends all at her bedside. “Hey guys.” she greeted in a hoarse voice.

“Hey Jewel.” Lightning greeted. Jewel tried to sit up, but her bruised body told her otherwise. “Ugh!”

“Easy Jewel. Take it easy.” Mykan soothed. Jewel layed back down and noticed her friends look a little sad. “What’s wrong guys?” she asked.

“Listen Jewel.” Lightning started. “We’re sorry, we should have never taken away your anger. Your anger is what makes you stand up for yourself and others and when we took that away you became passive which is not what we wanted to see.”

“We shouldn’t have tried to change you.” Artie added.

“We should have just let you be you.” Applejack added. Everybody added their own setiments into the apology.

“We’re so super sorry.” Pinkie added.

Jewel smiled sadly at her friends. “It’s okay guys.” Jewel replied. Their majesties just watched with proud smiles. Rage Jewel carefully came in and roared softly. “It’s okay girl, I’m okay.” Jewel replied. Rage Jewel nuzzled Jewel and licked her face, making her laugh. “You can understand her?” Midnight asked.

“Yeah.” Jewel asked. She turned to her angerside. “Ready to be whole again?” she asked. Rage Jewel nodded and placed its claw on Jewel and magically entered her body once again. “Alright now, Jewel Crystal needs her rest, you’ll have to come back tomorrow.” the doctor instructed. Everybody exited the room, leaving only Lightning. “Feel better soon.” he whispered. “Okay.” Jewel replied. With that, Lightning and their majesties exited the room. “Her magic is getting stronger everyday.” Grand Ruler said.

“Yes. We will have to keep a closer eye on Jewel to help her expand magical abilities.” Celestia replied. Lightning agreed and promised to help his student the best her can.

In our next episode; Jewel discovers a new Pokémon friend which proves to become a powerful new ally when her friends get into deep trouble.

Will this Pokémon be able to terminate the threat?

“A New Electric Friend”

Episode 10: New Electric Friend

Two weeks have passed and no sign of Sombra, Chrysalis or their forces, which was a small relief for the ponies.

They helped Jewel learn how to use her Animal Staff in battle. She progressed soon they but she still had a long way to go.

Right now, it was nighttime and Princess Luna was doing her nightly duties. In New Ponyville, Krysta, Lightning and Starla were fast asleep. The only one who wasn’t asleep in the household was Jewel.

She was just staring out the window, looking at the peaceful night sky and bright moon and stars shimmering.

Suddenly she saw a figure outside Lightning and Starla’a house.

”What’s that?” she thought.

The figure then ran away. Jewel quickly put her clothes on and quietly and teleported outside and followed the mysterious figure all the way to the park.

“Hello!” she called. “It’s okay. I’m a friendly pony. I won’t hurt you.”

Jewel saw the figure coming out from on of the bushes and in the moonlight, got a better look at it:

It looked like a sheep except it had blue skin and two horns on the side of its head that were yellow and black just like it’s tail that had a small ball on the end.

“Mareep, reep.” It said.

”Poor Mareep. It looks so scared.”

“It’s okay. Mareep. I won’t hurt you.” Jewel repeated. Mareep, hearing the calming tone of Jewel’s voice, slowly walked towards her. Mareep was only inches from Jewel. Jewel reached out and petted Mareep.

“Good girl.” Jewel cooed. “Umm... you are a girl, right?”

Mareep nodded.

“Well, Is better get back home before Lightning and Starla find out.” Jewel stated. Mareep looked at her curiously.

Jewel stood up and was about to leave when a blur came and grabbed her by the shoulder, lifting her up into the air. “WOOOAAAH....!!”

Mareep gasped and immediately followed the blur.

Jewel struggled to get loose, “There’s no use in struggling.” an all too familiar voice stated. Jewel gasped in horror and managed to look up and saw Carla.

“Let me go!” Jewel demanded.

“Never!” Carla sneered, “you’re going to King Sombra, where you belong.”

Suddenly a bolt of lightning cane and almost hit Carla. “What the-?”

Jewel looked down and saw Mareep firing Thunderbolt at Carla, planning to hit her so she’ll release Jewel.

Mareep kept firing until one hit Carla and Jewel fell out of her grip and she bang falling into the woods below. Luckily, she used her magic to slowly float herself to the ground, where Mareep met up with her.

“Mareep! Mareep reep!” Mareep said in concern.

“I’m okay, Mareep. Thanks to you.” Jewel praised. Mareep nuzzled Jewel’s leg.

Jewel looked around her and saw that they were both deep in the woods and she didn’t know where to go to get back to New Ponyville.

“Not good. How am I gonna get back to New Ponyville now?” She asked herself.

“Mareep. Mareep.”

“You know the way, Mareep?”

Mareep nodded.

“Okay then, lead the way.” Mareep nodded and walked off with Jewel following behind. Jewel saw that the sun was beginning to rise.

”I hope my friends don’t freak out when they realize I’m missing” Jewel hoped.

By the morning, Lightning and his friends were no doubt searching for Jewel.

“Find her?” Lightning asked.

The ponies shook their heads. “Hey guys!” They turned around and saw Mykan and Midnight walking towards them.

“Find Jewel yet?” Mykan asked.

“Nope.” Lightning replied.

“Darn.” Midnight grumbled.

“Where ever could she have gone?” Rarity asked.

“This is completely unlike her.” Rainbow stated. “Jewel wouldn’t go anywhere without telling one of us first.”

As the friends thought about where Jewel could have gone. Mykan see something that made him relieved and confused.

“Guys? Why is Jewel walking with a blue-skinned sheep?” he asked, pointing towards the upper part of the street.

Everybody turned and saw the same thing. The friends went up to her. Lightning, Mykan and Midnight were the first ones to reach her and they hug her with joy.

“Thank goodness you’re alright, Jewel! You had us all worried sick!” Lightning scolded.

Jewel lowered in head in shame, “I’m sorry, Lightning.” She said.

Lightning couldn’t stay mad at her forever, so he took a deep breath and placed a hand on her shoulder saying, “It’s alright, but next time, tell us where you’re going okay?”

“Okay.” Jewel replied.

Then the others came up, “Oh Jewel, thank heavens.” Rarity praised.

“We’re so glad you’re safe.” Fluttershy stated.

“But where did you go,
That we’d like to know.” Rhymey added.

With that, Jewel explained what transpired last night, and when she finished the ponies were shocked and amazed.

“So this little Mareep actually shocked Carla and guided you back to us?” Mykan summarized, impressed.

“Yes.” Jewel replied.

“So what that little sheep near Jewel called again?” Lightning asked.

“It’s a Mareep.” Mykan stated.

“A Ma-what now?” Rainbow asked.

“A Mareep. It’s an electric-type pokemon that can actually absorb electricity.” Mykan added. Fluttershy and Starla went gaga over the little sheep.

“It’s soooo cute!” Fluttershy cooed.

“Adorable!” Starla added. Mareep was blushing by the all attention she was receiving. Mareep nuzzled Jewel’s leg and Jewel petted the little sheep on it’s head.

“Looks like that Mareep likes Jewel, lots.” Starla stated.

“Yeah.” Lightning added.

Mareep stopped nuzzling Jewel and she looked up at her friends. “So what do we do now?” Jewel asked.

“You ponies surrender your unicorn! That’s what?” a voice called.

The friends turned around and saw Carla again. The friends stood in front of Jewel like a shield. “Fat chance!” Lightning stated.

“Give me that unicorn!” Carla demanded.

“No way!” Mykan replied.

“Let’s go!” Lightning called.

“STARFLEET MAGIC!!”

“HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!”

“DRAGON POWER!!”

Carla suddenly whistled and the ponies heard a loud ‘sqwack’ and over the hilltop came a large eagle about fifty feet high! The eagle was all black with white talons, wing tips and beak. It landed beside Carla and sqwacked at the ponies.

Fluttershy shook a little looking at the humongous creature.

“Now, Breeze. Attack these pest!” Carla ordered.

Breeze squawked and took to the skies and immediately dive bombed the ponies. “Scatter!” Lightning called.

The team scattered and Mareep and Jewel hid in an alleyway.

Rhymey and Mykan charged Breeze with their swords drawn but the eagle just slapped them with it’s large wing, sending them into a food cart.

“That hurt.” groaned Mykan.

“You guys okay?” Rainbow asked.

“We’re okay,
But things are not going our way.” Rhymey added.

“You said it.” Buddy stated.

Everytime the ponies tried to attack the eagle it just blocked with it’s large wings. “Now use AIR SLASH..!!”

Breeze spread it’s wings and sent light blue saws at the gang, striking them hard and sending them flying. “Guys!” Mykan called. He charged the large bird but it used the same attack and sent Mykan flying as well.

Jewel and Mareep could hardly watch this. Her friends could not last much longer,

“What can we do?” Jewel asked herself.

“Mareep!” Jewel looked down at Mareep, who had a determined look on it’a face. Looking into her eyes, Jewel knew exactly what she wanted to do. “You wanna battle that monster, don’t you?”

Mareep nodded.

Jewel bit her lip, but then she remembered that Mareep’s electricity was really effective against Carla. There was no reason why it wouldn’t be effective with the large eagle.

“Alright let’s do this!”

Breeze stomped towards the ponies. “Say goodbye, ponies!” Carla declared.

Suddenly....

“Mareep! Thunderbolt!” A bolt of electricity struck the ground betweeen the ponies and the villains. Breeze stepped back as Mareep and Jewel appeared in front of the fallen fighters. Jewel was transformed and was ready to fight.

“Out of my way! Or I’ll take you as my prize!” Carla stated.

“No way!” Jewel replied. “Mareep Attack!”

Mareep charged Breeze and covered herself in electrical energy. Ramming to the giant eagle she actually knocked it over onto it’s side!

Woah.” Rainbow whispered.

Jewel punched and kicked Carla, who did the same thing. “You should just give up.” Carla sneered.

“That's something I’ll never do!” Jewel exclaimed, “Mareep! Thunderbolt!”

Mareep obeyed and launched a large bolt of electricity at Breeze. The eagle screech in pain and exploded, but wasn't imprisoned in a capture sphere. Instead it was turned back into a normal eagle, which flew away.

“What?! No!” Carla cried. Jewel rammed her to the ground. Knowing she was beaten she reluctantly retreated. “This isn’t over!” she declared and she teleported away.

By now, Lightning and his team had recovered enough strength to stand up and walk over to the duo. “Are you guys okay?” Jewel asked.

“Yeah. We’re good, thanks to you and Mareep.” Lightning stated.

“That…. was…. Awesome!” Rainbow cried.

“I agree. Mareep sure can battle.” Mykan added.

“Mareep’s power is very strong,
With Jewel is where she truly belongs.” Rhymey added.

Mareep walked up to Mykan and nuzzled his leg. The girls ‘awwww’d’ at the cute scene. “Look like Mareep has taken a liking to you, Mykan.” Applejack teased.

Mykan chuckled and rubbed Mareep on the head. “Now how about we get to the bottom of your little friends power.” a voice added.

Everybody turned around and saw their majesties descending from the sky. They bowed to their rulers. “Master? Queen Celestia! What are you doing here?” Fluttershy asked.

“We witnessed the whole battle from the palace and I’m impressed with the little sheep’s power.” Grand Ruler stated.

Mareep suddenly looked angry and launched a Thundershock at Grand Ruler. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground, to the horror of his wife and student.

“Darling! Master!” they both rushed over and helped him to his feet. “What is the hotel bills was that for?!” Applejack asked.

Mareep turned to Jewel. “Mareep reep, Mareep reep.”

“Marep said that it HATES to be called ‘little sheep’ and she will shocks everyone who calls her that.” Jewel translated.

“Mareep reep.”

“And you’re lucky I just used Thundershock, or else you would be a fried right now.”The ponies and Mykan and Midnight looked at Mareep with slight fear now. “Well…. you’ve got a quick temper, don’t you Mareep. Just like Rarity.” Mykan joked. Rarity didn’t take that too lightly, “I beg your pardon! I do not have a quick temper.” The others rolled their eyes as the two began quarreling. Mareep cried and laughed a Thunderbolt at the two, scoraching them badly. “Mareep Mareep repp!”

“Mareep said ‘stop fighting like little kids! Or else I’ll Volt Tackle you into space’!” Jewel translated. Mykan and Rarity looked at Mareep, who had a angry glare on her face then back at each other and apologized. “Nice.” Spike commented claw-bumping Mareep, receiving a glare from his wife. Everybody, including their majesties laughed.

In our next episode; Jewel discovers some changelings that have escaped from prison and teaches them about friendship. But when the ponies discover this, Jewel faces a severe punishment and it's up to the changelings to save her.

What will the changelings do?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic...

"New Changeling Friends"

Episode 11: New Changeling Friends

Deep in the prison caverns of New Canterlot, the section where all the changelings that Starfleet captured were kept, all in capture spheres. Five of the capture spheres began to glow and suddenly broke open!

The five changelings came to their senses and were terrified. The changelings turned into birds and they all flew out of the prison caverns and out of the palace all the way into the New White Tail Woods.

The next morning, Lightning and the teams were immediately called to New Canterlot and informed about what happened.

“Five changelings escaped last night!?” Lightning exclaimed.

“Indeed, five capture spheres were mysteriously broken and there is no trace of the changelings.” Grand Ruler stated.

“Ummm.... what’s a changeling?” Jewel asked.

“A changeling is a ghastly insect-like pony that feeds off the emotions of other creatures. They are all evil and disgusting!” Rarity explained.

“Nevertheless, we must recapture the changelings before they do damage on the kingdom.” Queen Celestia added.

“Yes your majesty.” Everybody said.

With that, everybody flew out of the palace and immediately began searching for the changelings.

“Girls, search New Everfree Forest. Me and Starla will look around New Ponyville and the rest of you spread out.” Lightning ordered.

The ponies obey and spread out. Jewel went to the New White Tail Woods to begin her search. She began walking down the path, observing anything that would lead her to the escaped changelings.

Some bushes near her began to rustle. “Hmmm.”

Jewel walked over to them and pulled them back revealing the five changelings; they all had blue eyes and transparent wings and holes in their legs. Each of the changelings had a scarf around their necks. The first had a purple scarf, the second had orange, the third had light blue, the fourth has white and the fifth had butter yellow.

Jewel could tell they weren’t savage beast as her friends described as these changelings screamed and cowered before Jewel, in fear.

“It’s okay. I won’t hurt you.” Jewel soothed.

“Yeah right!” retorted one changeling. “you’ll probably lock us up again.”

“Actually, I kinda.... wanna be friends with you guys.”

That got the five changelings by surprise. “Friends?” One changeling asked.

“Yeah. My friends told me that changelings are evil, but you five don’t seem like that at all.” Jewel replied.

“Evil? Not us, all we’ve ever wanted was a friend. But Chrysalis said that friendship is a useless.” the shy changeling added.

“We were apart of the attack on United Equestria but we couldn’t steal love from other ponies after seeing friendship. We wanted to share it. When we escaped we hide here so that nobody could find us.” the other changeling replied.

Jewel felt bad for these changelings. Her friends told her that all changelings were evil but there’s five were the complete opposite.

“Well if you want friends, I’ll be your first one.... Umm I didn’t get your names.

The changeling with the yellow scarf spoke. “I’m Pyrtie.”

Then the one with the orange scarf. “I’m Pyrax.”

Next, the changeling with the white scarf. “I’m Crystal.”

Then, the changeling with the blue scarf spoke. “I’m Sliver.”

Finally, the changeling with the purple scarf. “And I’m Pharynx.”

“I’m Jewel nice to meet you all.” she greeted back.

Suddenly Jewel heard some voices, she peeked out of the woods and saw Lightning and Starla coming towards the forest.

“Guys hide!”

The changelings complied and hid in their bush. Lightning and Starla approached Jewel. “Find them yet?” Lightning asked. Jewel sweat a little and replied, “Nope nothing.”

Lightning sighed in dismay. “We’ll keep searching.”

Jewel nodded and watched Lightning and Starla fly away. Jewel sighed in relief. “It’s okay, they’re gone now.” She called.

The changelings came out of the bush. “That was too close.” Pyrite said.

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep you safe and teach you about friendship.” Jewel promised.

The changelings smiled at her with such gratefulness. “I’ll check up on your guys every day and teach you about friendship.”

For the next week, Jewel went to the New White Tail Woods and taught the changelings about friendship. They soaked up all the information like sponges, vowing to never forget them.

Then changelings were grateful for Jewel showing them friendship even though she would get in serious trouble by doing this. However, Jewel didn’t care, “Everybody deserves a chance at friendship.” she said to the changelings. The five changelings all smiled at their teacher and friend.

Now, Jewel was with her friends at the Cake’s Café for some lunch.

Lightning was not very happy, “I still can’t belive we haven’t found the changelings yet!” he grumbled.

Jewel, being optimistic as always said, “Don’t worry guys, you’ll find them soon. I’m gonna go to New White Tail Woods, see ya.” Jewel stated.

When Jewel left, Buddy asked, “Have you guys been noticing Jewel’s been going to the woods a lot lately?”

“Yeah, she’s never been to the woods that many time before.” Applejack agreed.

“What do you think she could be doing there?” Rarity asked.

“You guys don’t think she found you changelings and just isn’t telling us, do you?” Spike asked.

“No way, she would never do that. She knows the consequences.” Lightning replied.

“But we should probably go check on her.” Dyno suggested.

“Si, I agree.” Myte added. The ponies left the café and went to New White Tail Woods. There they saw Jewel talking to somebody.

“Who is she talking to?” Pinkie whispered.

“Don’t know Let’s get a closer look.” Lightning replied. The ponies got closer and were shocked at what they saw. “Why is Jewel talking with the escaped changelings!” Starla cried.

“Is she crazy! She’ll get court martial for sure!” Fluttershy said.

“Okay see you guys tomorrow.” Jewel said. The changelings went back into their bush and Jewel exited the forest but before she could take another step.

“Stop right there!” Jewel turned around and gasped as she saw her friends staring at her with angry faces. “What have you done Jewel!”

Jewel stammered as she tried to find a reply. “You know that you were supposed to report if you found the changelings!” Lightning scolded.

“But guys, the changelings are nice.” Jewel replied desperately.

Her friends didn’t believe her. “Pfft. Yeah right! They probably cast a spell on you and made believing that.” Artie snarled.

“It’s true!” Jewle cried.

“Jewel darling, forgive my tone but.. THEY ARE THE ENEMY!” Rarity stated.

Before Jewel could say another word. “MAJOR JEWEL!”

Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia appeared in the sky and they did not look pleased at all!

“Report to the palace for inquiry and court martial.” Grand Ruler said.

All the ponies shuddered in fear, but not as much as Jewel. They all went to the palace for the trial. When they were gone, the changelings came out of the bush. They heard everything “This is bad. Jewel’s in major trouble now.” Pyrtie whimpered.

“What do we do Pharynx?” Crystal asked. All the changelings turned to Pharynx for an answer. Pharynx took a deep breath and said, “We have to go there.”

The others were shocked. “We can’t do that Pharynx! They’ll lock us up again!” Pyrite said.

“But what about Jewel?” Silver added.

“She’s right, we’ve gotta help her. If we don’t, who knows what’ll happen to her.” Crystal said.

“Crystal is right. Jewels in big trouble and it’s our fault. We can’t leave her.” Pyrite added.

Pharynx thought about what everybody said. “You’re right. We’ve gotta help Jewel.” he said. The others smiled at their friend and all headed to New Canterlot Palace to save their friend before it was too late.

Meanwhile, Jewel was in trial. The supreme pony council of United Equestria presided. The Chairman pony and his five councilors called the court to order.

“Jewel Crystal…” said the chairman “This court holds in contempt on the charges of treason to the United Equestrian Empire. Evidence has convinced this court that you are defying their majesties order to bringing in the changelings. Have you anything to say for yourself?”

Jewel just stayed quiet and shook her head. Her friends were in the front row seats, looking on with worry and concern.

Grand Ruler then stood and called to the Judges, “Will the Panel need to deliberate?”

“We see no need. We have decided on our verdict.” said the Chairman.

“You may proceed.” said Celestia. Everyone in the court stood waiting to final word from the Chairman. “It is the ruling of the supreme world high court of United Equestria that the defendant, Jewel Crystal, is found-“ Before he could say anything else, the doors of the courtroom burst open. “WAIT!”

The chairman wasn’t happy. “WHO DARS INTERRUPT THIS COURT TRIAL!?” He bellowed.

“We do!” Everybody turned towards the door and gasped in horror. The escaped changelings at the door! Lightning and his team immediately surrounded them. “What are you doing here?” he snarled.

“We’re here to tell you we’ve changed.” Pharynx stated.

“Yeah right.” Starla muttered.

“Please just listen.” Crystal pleaded.

The music began playing and the changelings began to sing.

https://m.

(Pharynx)
We never claimed to be evil
Our mistakes are all written in ink
None of us claimed to be evil
And it's sad if that's what you all think
Jewel showed us the power of friendship
No evil or stealing ways
Her light is what brought us together
So stop acting' like something's wrong

(All)
We're not darkness
We're reformed for goodness
Thanks to Jewel we know our role
No longer mope, now we have hope
Yeah, we're not darkness
We're reformed for goodness
Thanks to Jewel we all know what’s right
It’s thanks to her own friendship and light

(Pyrax)
They say I'm a big shot
That my ego's the size of a whale
She help me confidence is power
And it gives me the courage to fail

(Silver)
Sure, I can be a temperling
A bit short fused, it's true

(Pharynx)
And I can be too too stubborn to think
Jewel helped me to think through my choices, too, 'cause

(Crystal)
Ponies think I’m all bubbles and laughter
And we don't seem sincere
I might play around a little too much
Jewel showed me seriousness

(Pyrite)
Jewel helped me to bring out my confidence
And really come out of my shell

(Pyrax)
Jewel showed us the magic of friendship
And now we’re all reformed for good, forever

The whole court was silent, except for Jewel, who ran towards her changeling friends. “What are you guys doing here?” She asked. “You’ll get sent back to the prison caverns for sure.”

“We came to save you Jewel.” Pyrax replied. “We weren’t going to stand by while you take the fall for us.”

“Like you said, a friend does anything for others no matter what the cost .” Crystal stated. Jewel was surprised by their actions. Her changelings friends risked getting set back to the prison caverns just to save her from getting into major trouble.

Lightning and everybody else in the courtroom, including their majesties couldn’t believe. Everybody in the courtroom was speechless. “But why?” she asked.

“We came to fight for you.” Pyrax replied.

“Fight for me?” Jewel asked.

“Fight for her?” Everybody in courtroom repeated in shock.

Pharynx nodded. “We were all disasters when we first met but you showed us that when you know something in your heart is right, you stand up for it.” Crystal said. “You did that for us. Why can’t we do that for you?” Silver added.

“But I went against Starfleet regulations, it tells me everything I have to do to keep the universe safe.”

“And you went against that just to show us friendship.” Pharynx started. “Why should you let, excuse my next words, other ponies stop you from doing just that?!” Silver added.

Jewel pulled out her copy of “The Starfleet Codes of Regulations” containing all the rules, codes, and regulations which Grand Ruler had spent centuries writing and rewriting since Starfleet first began. “But the regulation book-“ Jewel started but was cut when the changelings smacked the book out of her hands.

“Doesn’t matter!” All five of the changelings said. Everybody gasped.

“You went against them because you’re doing something new, something important.” Pyrite stated.

A moment of silence followed that when Lightning spoke up, “Listen Jewel.... we owe you an apology.”

“We do?!” His friends asked.

“Yes. We didn’t even give the changelings a chance at friendship because we didn’t think they could learn friendship, but Jewel showed us all that it’s possible and that there is still hope for them as well.” Lightning spoke in a confident voice. Tears stared to form in his eyes as he turned to his student. “And it’s something that’s made me ever so proud.” Lightning hugged Jewel and she hugged him back.

The chairman was ever so shocked as well as the rest of the council. “Umm... court is adjourned!” he said quickly.

The ponies, changelings and Jewel all met in the throne room with their majesties to discuss the matter further. All of Jewel’a friends were voicing their opinions about letting the five changelings roam free. Grand Ruler raised his hand, silencing them.

“Jewel do you regret showing these changelings friendship despite what regulations say?” he asked. Jewel took a deep breath, “I.... don’t regret it. I believe that any creature no matter what they’ve done in the past should still have a chance at friendship. No matter what anybody says.”

“Even us?” Queen Celestia asked. Jewel gulped, “Yes... even you.” The mane five, and Lightning’s friends were amazed by Jewel’s courage to stand up for what she believed in. Even if it meant going against their majesties orders and regulations.

Lightning was the only one smiling proudly at his student. “Well Jewel, seeing that you even made your choice we’ve decided...” Grand Ruler asked.

Jewel closed her eyes, fearing an extremely rough punishment.

“You will continue to teach these changelings about friends and help them fit into our society.” Grand Ruler finished. Everybody gasped in astonishment while Jewel opened her eyes in shock.

“R-Really?”

Their majesties nodded. The five changelings all cheered and group hugged with Jewel. Lightning just stared proudly at his student. ”Well done Jewel. Well done.” he thought.

In our next episode; Tirek escapes from New Tartarus determined to make the ponies pay for their inference. To keep United Equestria safe, the ponies transfer their magic into Jewel.

However when Tirek catches on, Jewel will have to fight back with a new power she discovered from a hidden mystical item.

Will it be enough? Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic....

“The Hidden Element”

Episode 12: The Hidden Element

Sombra and Chrysalis were up in their spaceship in the thorne room and their minions were present.

“So what’s the new plan to destroy those annoying ponies, your majesties?” Swift asked.

“Well we’ve taken an interest in a certain creature in New Tartarus…… Lord Tirek.” Sombra stated.

The minions gasped. Tirek was a centaur who can use his dark magic to steal ponies magic.

“Are you sure your majesties?” Carla asked.

“Of course were sure.” Chrysalis scoffed. “With Tirek In our side we will bring this measly ponies to their knees!” Sombra stated.

The minions liked the sound of that. “So what’s the plan?” Swift asked.

Sombra and Chrysalis chuckled and explained the plan to them.

Meanwhile, Lightning and friends were at New Canterlot for some training, including Cadence and Shining Armor. Jewel was sparring with Lightning and was doing really well.

Lightning tripped her but before she hit the ground, she caught herself and came back up and punched Lightning in the chest. “Nice.” he commented.

Jewel was about to use her magic to paralyze him when...

“Hold.”

The ponies turned and saw Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia standing in the doorway. “Very impressive Jewel, you’ve grown into a fine fighter.” he commented.

“Well I’ve had a great mentor.” Jewel replied, referring to Lightning. He smiled at his student.

Suddenly, Captain Shania came into the doorway, breathing heavily and she’s turned to their majesties. “Your majesties! Your majesties!” she cried.

“What is it Captain?” Celestia asked.

Shania caught her breath, “I’ve just received word form new Tartarus. Lord Tirek has escaped!” Their majesties exchanged looks of concern and the ponies, except Jewel, gasped in horror.

“Who’s Lord Tirek?” she asked.

“He’s a big meanie pants who can steal other ponies magic!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“Do you how he escaped, Captain?” Celestia asked.

“No.” Shania replied. Grand Ruler said. Their majesties exchanged looks of concern and immediately held a netting in the throne room. Soon, everybody was present. “We cannot allow Tirek to roam free.” said Luna “If we don’t recapture him at once, all of United Equestria will be in grave danger.”

“But how?” Jewel asked.

“Yeah, that big brute will just absorb our magic, like he did before.” Applejack stated. This made the ponies worry even more. “Can he absorb your magic too?” Jewel asked, referring to Lightning and the space ponies.

“Fortunately Jewel, space ponies like us are immune to absorption magic.” Lightning replied.

“Unfortunately, equestrian ponies, like the girls, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor and myself are not.” Celestia stated. “We must stop Tirek as soon as possible.” Celesto stated.

“But if we face him, he’ll just suck the magic out of us.” Applejack objected.

Celestia sighed deeply “It pains me to say this, but we cannot risk it. We have decided…” she paused a moment “…to give up our own magic and hide it away where Tirek will not get to it.”

Everyone gasped in the deepest of shock and concern. “Give up your magic!” cried Artie.

“But if you do that, and the Tirek does attack,
You’ll be defenseless; you won’t be able to fight back.” added Rhymey.

“This is something we are quite aware of…” said Luna “But as my sister said, we cannot take such a risk, but know this…” she said as she eyed the girls, Cadence and Shining Armor. “Fear not, your powers will be well cared for. We have chosen the safest place for them.”

“Where?” asked Pinkie.

“Not where, but whom…” Grand Ruler said. “Jewel will absorb your magic; Transfer and keep them within herself. Doing this will also increase her power dramatically.”

Lightning gasped in concern.

“M-Me! Why me?” Jewel asked.

“We don’t not believe Tirek is aware of the powerful magic that you hold inside. If we transfer our magic to you, Tirek will not know where it has gone.” Celestia explained. “But what if Tirek comes after Jewel?” Lightning asked with concern. “Mareep reep! Arf Arf!” Suddenly, Mareep and Rockruff came in front of Jewel.

“Reep reep. Arf Arf.”

“Mareep and Rockruff said ‘we’ll keep her safe, promise’.” Jewel translated. Thought the ponies were not entirely convinced with this, knew it was their one and only shot.

Lightning sighed. “Okay, do it.”

Celestia, Luna, and Shining Armor and the mane five all stood in a line together as Jewel stood before them. He nodded his head saying she was ready. Then all the ponies concentrated hard, sending their magical forces from their bodies and into Jewel..

When the transfer was finished, Jewel was floating in the air, glowing brightly. The light diminished and Jewel landed on the ground. The girls, and the royal ponies checked their flanks and no cutie mark was present. They’ve all lost their cutie marks.

Queen Celestia sighed, “It is done.”

“Jewel Crystal, you now have our powers. Hopefully we will reclaimed them.” Luna added.

Suddenly, the alarms went off and Goldwin burst into the throne room. “Guys! It’s horrible— come quick!”

“Calm down Goldwin— what’s wrong?” Grand Ruler asked.

“It’s Tirek! He’s in the village stealing magic!”

Everybody gasped. “Let’s go!” Lightning called. The two teams transformed…

“STARFLEET MAGIC!”

“HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!”

They flew out of the palace, heading straight towards the villages. Meanwhile, Tirek ws enjoying absorbing the magic from the Equestrian ponies.

An army of space ponies and the pegasi, including the Wonderbolts charged Tirek, however, he just deflected the space ponies off like common flies and he zapped them all, causing them to lose their ability to fly, “Going down.” he sneered. All the ponies fell like rocks.

“Tirek!” a voice yelled. Tirek looked and saw the ponies. “Ahh. More pathetic ponies trying ‘tis too me.” he sneered.

Suddenly, he sensed a strong magic coming from Jewel. “I sense one of you has great power. I must have it!”

Jewel tightened the grip on her staff and began to shake nervously, “Don’t worry Jewel, we won’t let him get you.” Pinkie promised.

“Just to be safe, you should go and hide somewhere.” Lightning suggested. Jewel nodded and called, “Starburst!”

Her vehicle came out of the palace and picked her, Mareep and Rockruff up. She drove them all far far away.

She drove them to the Everfree Forest near the Castle of the Two Sisters; where Queen Celestia, Princess Luna and Grand Ruler Celesto used to live. Now it was really torn up and looked like it was falling apart. Jewel landed in the front of the castle.

“Looks like we’ll be hiding here for a while.” she said.

Mareep and Rockruff whimpered with worry, “Don’t worry, I’m sure the others will beat Tirek and we can go back. Right now we have to hide so Tirek doesn’t get the magic that I have.” Jewel explained.

Mareep and Rockruff nodded and they began walking around the castle. They soon made their way to a large carven with a staircase made from rocks going down.

“What’s a staircase doing here?” Jewel asked herself. “Only one way to find out.” Jewel walked down the staircase with Mareep and Rockruff at her heels.

She saw a cave at the bottom and entered it. Inside was a crystallized tree with the center of it being a star, like Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark and Queen Celestia and Princess Luna's cutie marks on the trunk as well.

“Woah.” she gasped in awe. “What is this?”

“This is the Tree of Harmony.” a voice replied. Jewel turned around and saw Twilight Sparkle’s spirit floating to the ground.

“Twilight?”

“Hello Jewel.”

“This is the Tree of Harmony? What is it?”

“It is a powerful and magical tree that control all that grows in the New Everfree Forest and it is where Queen Celestia and Princess Luna first discovered the Elements of Harmony.”

Suddenly, Jewel’s Animal Staff began to glow as well as the tree. The five branches sent out a color beam from its branches that matched the mane five. Five of them hit the staff while the middle sent out a purple beam at Jewel too.

The staff and Jewel glowed and her clothes transformed into armor and she gained a headband around her head with falcon wings on the ends.

Now her staff changed into a sword with the six stones in the blade.

When it was completed, Jewel was in awe. “What just happened?”

“The Tree of Harmony made you a Valkyrie of Harmony, just like my friends and the Queen.”

“But why?”

“Since you’ve came here you’ve shown five of six Elements of Harmony and once you’ve shown the sixth you will unlocked the Valkyrie magic.” Suddenly Jewel and her sword glowed and she changed back into her normal clothes and her sword became a staff once more. “What happened?” She asked a little disappointed.

“Don’t worry you still have the Valkyrie magic, but you need to show the Element of Magic and then you shout out ‘Valkyria’ in order to activate the magic.” Twilight instructed.

“Okay.”

“Suddenly Mareep and Rockruff came rushing down the stairs and into the cave, in an extreme panic. “What’s wrong you two?”

She got her answer when she heard, “MAJOR JEWEL!!!”

Jewel gasped in horror. “Tirek!”

“You have something that I want.” Tirek stated. Jewel was in a panic. “Wha- What do I do?”

“You have to fight him.” Twilight said.

Jewel gulped at the sound of that, “Fight him?!”

“It’s the only way he’ll be defeated. Remember you have Valkyrie magic now. You can do this.” Twilight encouraged as she disappeared.

Jewel took a deep breath and teleported into an open field where Tirek spotted her. “Finally, you have something I want. Now give it to me!” he stated.

“Never!” Jewel blasted a large magic burst at Tirek, making him scream in pain. Tirek tried to punched Jewel into the ground but she teleported away. She blasted another burst of magic at Tirek, he shielded himself with his own magic, but Jewel’s power consumed him in a large explosion.

“Now I see what your friends have done.” he sneered.

Jewel took out her Animal Staff, “Rhino Spirit, Arise!” The ghostly image of a rhino came out of the orb and rammed Tirek multiple times. It threw him up into the air where Jewel blasted him.

He came crashing down to he ground, miraculously unscaved.

The rhino spirit returned to the orb. That’s when Tirek levitated Jewel up to his face! Jewel struggled to get free but Tirek threw her into a mountain, “AAAHHHHH!”

BOOM! Jewel collided with the mountain side. Luckily, she used a shield to protect herself. Tirek came flying in and rammed Jewel right through the mountain!

Recovering from being winded by the massive impact. She got on top of Tirek and blasted him hard. He crashed into the ground leaving an small crater in the ground.

Tirek stood up and Jewel walked up to him with an arm around her stomach and a clear facial expression of pain. She stopping only a few feet away. “It seems we’ve reached a disagreement Major. How about a trade?”

He snapped his fingers and behind him, floating in the sky were nineteen bubbles, each containing her friends, including Mykan and Midnight.

“Their release for all of the magic you have in your possession.” Tirek offered.

Jewel gasped in horror. All of her friends cried out telling her not give him the magic.

“So what’s it gonna be Major?” Tirek asked.

“Don’t do it Jewel!” Lightning called.

“We’re not worth it!” Starla added.

“Don’t give him your magic!” Mykan added.

“If you give him your magic, we’re all doomed,
We will be gone by noon!” Rhymey cried out.

Tirek grew very impatient. “ENOUGH! I WANT AN ANSWER AND I WANT IT NOW!” he thundered.

Jewel looked at the mane five and the Queen. A rainbow stripe went across their bubbles as they were all looking at Jewel with pleading eyes. The same rainbow colors reflected in Jewel’s eyes.

She knew what she had to do.

“...... I will give you my magic... in exchange for my friends.” she said.

Everybody gasped in horror while Tirek smilies victoriously. “As you wish.” He snapped his fingers and all the bubbles came to ground, popped and freed her friends.

“Now for your end.” Tirek said. He levitated Jewel up to his face and used his magic to steal Jewel’s.

But nothing happened!

“What?” Tirek tried again, but the magic didn’t enter Tirek’s mouth.

Even the teams were confused. “What have you done?” Tirek asked.

“Nothing.” Jewel squeaked.

“Well, if I can’t absord your magic, I’ll just have to destroy you.”

“ NOOOO...!” the ponies cried.

Jewel closed her eyes, waiting for the final attack and Tirek prepared to blast Jewel to ashes when a large beam came and hit Trek engulfing him in an explosion and if forced him to let Jewel go. “What the-?” Lightning said.

When the smoke cleared, Tirek was still standing and Jewel was gone!

“Jewel! Where’d she go?!” Rainbow cried.

Suddenly, up in the sky, they heard a loud roar and a large gray draconic Pokémon with gold half rings circling the back of its neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. Also, it has two large black ghostly wings with red tips that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed. The ponies sighed in relief when they saw Jewel riding on top of the massive creature.

“What in United Equestria is that thing?!” Lightning cried.

“That’s Giratina!” Mykan cried.

“Who?” Artie asked.

“It’s a legendary Pokémon that can travel through dimensions at will!” Mykan explained.

“Travel through dimensions!” their majesties cried.

“Wowie!” Pinkie cheered.

Giratina roared and charged Tirek. It rammed him and blasted Tirek with a large ball of fire energy. “Ahh!”

Giratina roared softly and Jewel nodded. She lept down from the ginormous pokémon and yelled out “VALKYRIA!!”

In a bright flash, Jewel changed into her Valkyrie form, much to the surprised and shocked of her friends.

“Jewel’s a Valkyrie now?!” Rainbow cried.

“When In the world did that happen?” Applejack asked.

“No idea!” Buddy stated.

Tirek simply smirked at Jewel. “You think that little trick will save you?” he sneered.

“Yes I do.” Jewel replied.

“Well you are sorely mistaken BLAZE OF DESTRUCTION!”

The blast heard right for Jewel but she blocked it with her shield. Jewel dashed up to Tirek and slashed him in the chest multiple times, causing much damage to him.

“LION FORM, ENGAGE!

Jewel changed intolerance lion and with her Valkyrie magic, she was even more powerful.

”WILD CHARGE!”

Jewel charged strike and covered herself in her Valkyrie magic and spirit magic. She rammed into Tirek sending him flying! The others were shocked amazed by Jewel’s new power.

“Look at her go!” Midnight said.

“Back and forth,
To and fro.” Rhyemy added.

Tirek snarled and Jewel’s horn begin to glow in a mystical light. Suddenly the friendship ponies and the Queen changed into their Valkyrie forms and their shields went up to Jewel and circled her.

“What’s going on?” Starla asked.

All of the shields glowed brightly as well as Jewel’s and they all came around her with the symbols of the Elements the girls represented glowed too. They each shot out a beam of color at Jewel’s horn and she roared and launched all of the power at Tirek.

He screamed in pain as he felt all the magic he’d stolen being taken away and when it was done, he was back in New Tartarus.

The magic from the attack sent out a large wave of magic across the kingdom, giving the equestrian ponies their magic back including the Mane five, and the royal ponies and restoring all the damage done during the battle.

Jewel floated down to the floor and the six shields went back to their owners. Jewel changed back into her normal self and clothes. Breathing heavily, she looked at her friends right before she collapsed.

Beep Beep Beep

Jewel opened her eyes and saw many blobs in front of her.

“Is she gonna be okay?” asked the orange blob.

“Ooh, I’m so worried.” whimpered the yellow blob. Jewel’s vision cleared and she clearly saw all of her friends.

“Hey Jewel.” Starla said softly.

Jewel rubbed her head and saw bandages on her stomach, arms and her chest. “Wh-What happened?”

“You collapsed after you used your Valkyrie power.” Mykan explained.

“And Giratina?”

“It went back to its home.”

“Your Valkyrie powers.... are.... awesome!” Rainbow cried. “Totally epic!”

Everybody chuckled, but when Jewel chuckled she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. “Ugh!”

“Easy Jewel. You’ll need lots of rest.” Fluttershy said.

“Where’s Lightning and their majesties?” Jewel asked. As soon as she said that, the appeared in the doorway. “Did somebody call for us?” Lightning teased.

Jewel smiled at the sight of her teacher. “How are you feeling?” Lightning asked.

“Sore.”

“Well you’ll be fully recovered in a few days.” Queen Celestia said.

“But right now we’d like to ask you something Jewel.” Grand Ruler added.

“Yes, your majesty?”

“How didn’t you manage to acquire Valkyrie magic?” Grand Ruler asked.

“Well.” Jewel we th on about everything from the Tree of Harmony to Twilight. When she was done, everybody was shocked. “You’re a new Element of Harmony?!” Starla cried.

“And the Tree of Harmony gave you a Valkyrie magic?!” Buddy added.

“Yeah.” Jewel replied. Suddenly, Jewel’s neck glowed brightly and a golden necklace appeared with a pink sapphire gem in the middle.

“Cool.” Lightning said.

“Wowie!” Pinkie cried.

“Simply Incerdible.” Grand Ruler stated.

“But what Element of Harmony do you represent?” Rainbowasked.

“That’s something that will be revealed with time.” Grand Ruler replied. The doctor came in an ordered everyone out of the room, saying that Jewel needed all the rest she could get. Everybody did what they were told and left the room.

”You’re growing into a fine fighter and friend, my brave pony” Lightning thought as he exited the hospital and went home.

In our next episode; Jewel stumbles upon Twilight Sparkle’s old home, The Golden Oak Library. Her friends start to see Jewel’s interest in the house and decide to let Jewel live there.

However, when Sombra sees this a capture opportunity, can the ponies protect Jewel?

“Jewel’s New Home”

Author's Note

Like and comment

Episode 13: Jewel’s New Home

Jewel was walking in New Ponyville with a beautiful sun shining and the clear blue sky. Birds chirping happily and ponies just living their lives.

Jewel was blissfully walking when she came to a large oak tree that had a door and a small balcony on the side. It looked like it was condemned, by the yellow tape.

”Wonder what this could be?”

Jewel slowly walked to the tree, moving underneath the tape she entered the house. There were shelves of books all around. A staircase led up to a small bedroom with a bed and a small basket with a blanket in it.

Heading back downstairs, Jewel went to one of the bookshelves and grabbed a book. She sat down at the nearby table and began reading.

Meanwhile, Lightning and friends were walking in the street.

“It’s a wonderful day.” Fluttershy said.

“All is quiet,
That’s okay.” Rhymey added.

“Umm, guys where’d Jewel go?” Spike asked.

“Guys!” the friends looked and saw Rainbow coming towards them. “Hey Rainbow, what’s up?” Lightning asked.

“I just saw Jewel go into Twilight’s old home.” Rainbow replied.

“Huh?” Everybody replied.

“Why would Jewel go there?” Dyno asked.

“Si, it doesn’t make any sense. That place is condemned.” Myte added.

“We better go and get her.” Lightning suggested. Soon all the friends made it to Twilight’s old home. “Hey! The door is open!” Spike pointed out.

“Let’s go in.” Lightning said. The friends entered the tree. All of them felt memories of Twilight coming back at the sight of her home, making them feel down. But they had other things to do.

Entering the tree, they found Jewel with her face down, fast asleep with three tall stacks of books surrounding her. “Looks like somebody has been reading.” Artie said.

Lightning went up to one of the book stacks and grabbed one of the books.

“Advanced spells for unicorns.”

“Sounds like she’s been reading about magic.” Buddy said. “Just like Twilight.” Suddenly, Jewel stirred and woke up, meeting the eyes of her friends.

“Oh, hey guys, didn’t here you come in.” she said.

“Looks like you’ve been reading a lot.” Starla replied.

“Yeah.” Jewel stated. “I like this place, lots of books, a small bedroom.”

“Well, you can come back tomorrow. Okay?” Lightning asked.

“Hehe. Okay.” The gang led Jewel out of the Golden Oak Library and back to Lightning and Starla’s house, where Jewel took another short nap. The gang went to Cake’s Café for some milkshakes in the meantime. All of the friends were chattering about, save for Lightning. “Lightning, honey, what’s the matter?”

“Oh, it’s just that I’ve been thinking about Jewel and Twilight’s old home.”

“Yeah she did seem pretty into it.” Buddy added.

“Reading all those book in no time,
She like Twilight on the dime.” Rhymey added.

“So what do we do?” Rainbow asked.

“Yeah. She’s just going to keep going back there to read all those books.” Applejack said. “Huh. She’s is just like Twilight.”

Suddenly, Pinkie cried, “Ooh, I know, I know, it’s prefect, so prefect!” Buddy placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. “Easy Pinkie, just tell us.”

“We can have Jewel move into the Golden Oak Library!”

The friends thought about what she just said and thought it was a good idea. “Well, she does like reading.” Fluttershy stated. “And that place is full of books.”

“And the darling will need her own home. She can’t live with Starla and Lightning forever.” Rarity added. Everybody agreed with that statement and decided to go for it.

It first they needed permission from their majesties first. Lightning sent them a letter and he and his friends got a letter back each telling them to meet at the palace.

Krysta teleported them all there and they were soon called to the throne room. The guards saluted to Lightning and the meeting began.

Lightning and his friends explained everything to their majesties. “Sounds like Jewel has a great interest in the Golden Oak Library.” Luna said.

“Indeed.” Celestia replied.

“So we wanted to move Jewel into the Library but we wanted to ask your persmission first.” Lightning asked.

After some brief thinking, their majesties approved Jewel moving into the Golden Oak Library. The friends were relieved and excited.

“Now, we’ll have to keep Jewel away while we get the Library ready for her to live in.” Artie said.

“Si, but how?” Dyno asked.

“Can’t we just put her in the royal library?” Myte asked.

“Why?” Rainbow added.

“Well she does like reading and the New Canterlot Library has tons of books.” Myte stated.

“That would keep her busy for quite a while.” Dyno added. Everybody thought about that plan and agreed to it.

Soon, Starla was asking with Jewel to the library. “So Starla what do you want me to read?” Jewel asked.

“When we get to the library, I want you to read the stacks of books Lightning and I placed near the seat and we’ll come and get your for something special afterwards.” Starla explained.

Jewel like the sounds of ‘surprise’. “What is it?”

“No spoilers.”

Starla opened the door and they both entered the library. Jewel went to the seat with two large piles of books near it.

“I’ll be back in a couple of hours.” Starla called.

“Okay.” Jewel said and she sat down and started reading one of the book piles, one book at a time.

Starla flew back to New Ponyville and went to the Golden Oak Library. Entering the room, she saw all her friends setting up for the party. “Hey Starla, how’s Jewel?” Rainbow asked.

“She’s one hundred percent distracted. I have her reading two large piles of books until I come back.” Starla said.

“Perfect.” Lightning said.

“Come on y’all. Let’s finish decorating.” Applejack called. All the friends pitched in with the decorating and soon it was early evening when everything was finished.

“There. Now I’ll go get Jewel.” Starla said. She left the library and flew to New Canterlot and went to the library. She found Jewel fast asleep with all the books scattered around her.

Starla chuckled softly and walked up to Jewel and shook her awake. “Jewel, wake up~” she sang.

Jewel awoke and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. “Hey Starla.” she greeted. “Is my surprise ready?”

“Yeah. Come on let’s go.” Starla said.
Starla teleported them back to the Golden Oak Library. “Starla, why is the library dark?” Jewel asked.

“You’ll see.”

The two girls entered the library and were met with darkness. “So what’s going on?” Jewel asked.

Suddenly the lights flashed on and all her friends shouted “SURPRISE! WELCOME HOME JEWEL!”

Jewel saw the entire library decorated with streamers and balloons. A table had all kinds of refreshments on it and there with a few present in the corner.

“Wh-What’s this?” Jewel asked, surprised.

“This is your house warming party.” Lightning stated.

“House warming?”

“That’s right, sugarcube.” Applejack said. “This is your new home.”

Jewel was so amazed and surprised that she was shedding tears of joy. “Thanks you guys.”

Everybody smiled at their friend. “LET’S PARTY!” Pinkie cried.

The party began and everybody had a great time. Jewel loved her presents as well.

Lightning gave her a fedora that matches her mane and Rarity gave Jewel beautiful dress. It was pink with aquamarine stars on it with small purple shading sleeves.

“Thank you everyone. This is the best day ever!” Jewel declared. All her friends smiled and they all partied into the night.

In our next episode; The ponies are excited for a ballet performance at the theaters. However, they discover that Jewel came down with a nasty cold. Mykan and Midnight volunteer to stay with Jewel and take care of her.

How will the night go for the ponies and Jewel?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic....

“Sick Night”

Episode 14: Sick Night

It was a bright beautiful afternoon and Lightning and all twelve of us friends, including Mykan and Midnight were at Rarity’s boutique. She was making dresses and tuxedos for Lightning, Starla, Jewel and Mykan and Midnight for tonight all of them were invited to a ballet performance.

“I can’t wait for the ballet!” Pinkie cried.

“Me either.” Starla added.

The boys on the other hand, weren’t that excited. “It sounds a little boring.” Mykan said.

“I agree.” Spike said.

“Oh boys, you simply must give ballet a try.” Rarity suggested. “But for right now, I’m pleased to say I’ve completed the dresses.”

As soon as she said that, Jewel and in to the boutique. “Hey Jewel.” Rainbow greeted.

Jewel sniffled and replied, “Hey Rainbow… cough… cough.”

“Are you feeling okay Jewel?” Mykan asked, seeing how she looked a little frazzled. “I’m okay.” she replied. “Are you sure?” Midnight asked. Jewel nodded again. “I’m good.. really. I’ll see you guys tonight. See ya.”

With that Jewel left while her friends were all confused. “Was it just me or did Jewel seem a little-“ Lightning started.

“Tired?” Fluttershy said.

“Dizzy?” Pinkie added.

“Messy.” Rairty said and she got strange looks from her friends. “Well… did you see her mane?”

“She seemed fine to me.” Pinkie Pie added but Mykan and Midnight were still suspicious.

That night, the gang was at the boutique again, getting dressed. “These dresses are perfect!” Starla commented.

“Why thank you darling.” Rarity said.

Mykan and Midnight were wearing the tuxedoes while Lightning and Starla tapped their insignias twice and changed into their formal wear.

But they all noticed one dress untouched and someone missing. “Where’s Jewel?” Midnight asked.

“She should have been here by now.” Starla added.

“We should probably got check on her.” Spike suggested.

“Good idea.” Artie agreed. Everybody soon arrived at the Golden Oak Library. Lightning opened the door and everybody came in. “Jewel! Are you in here?” Pinkie called.

Everyone then heard some coughing and sneezing. “Where did that come from?” Mykan asked.

“Sounds like it came from upstairs.” Starla replied. The gang headed upstairs to Jewel’s room. Wheat they saw made them gasped in shock. Mareep and Rockruff and her dinosaur friends were all by Jewel’s side nuzzling her with worried expressions in their faces. The gang could immediately tell why.

Jewel was lying in her bed, the covers pulled up to her neck. Her eyes were bloodshot and watery, her cheeks were flushed, and her snout, especially around her nose, was bright red. She sniffled, blinking bleary-eyed at her friends.

“Hey buys don’d gobe doo glose I thigue I god a… a…. achoo!”

“Oh dear.” Fluttershy whispered.

“Jewel what happens to you?!” Lightning asked.

“I don’d feel doo dood. By thwoad's sore...by head is boudigue...ad by dose is blogued.” Jewel croaked.

“Sounds like you’ve caught a nasty cold and flu.” Fluttershy diagnosed. “You’ll need lots of rest and liquids.”

“Aww.” Pinkie whined. “Then she can’t go to the ballet.”

“I’ll ge bine buys.” Jewel replied. Her friends weren’t going to take that lying down. “Someone should at least stay with you.” Lightning said.

“I’ll do it.” Mykan volunteered.

“Me too.” Midnight added.

“Dut vhen you will biss the ballet.” Jewel said.

“Thanks okay. We’re not leaving you alone and sick.” Mykan said. Jewel smiled at the boys. “Alright, we better get going. See you guys later.” Lightning said.

“Feel better sugarcube.” Applejack added. Mykan, Midnight and Jewel waved goodbye as their friends left for the ballet.

Sombra and Chrysalis saw everything. “This is perfect. Now we prefect our little friend and destory those ponies.” Sombra said.

Chrysalis nodded and the two got back to work.

Meanwhile, upon arriving at the ballet, many of the other creatures attending gazed in awe as the royal party arrived. Lightning and Starla told their majesties about Jewel and the boys. Though they were sad that Jewel couldn’t attend they were proud that Mykan and Midnight stayed with her.

Grand Ruler wore a white tuxedo, with golden royal epaulets, a blue sash, but he still wore his cape, and he also carried a walking stick with a blue sapphire at the brim.

Celestia wore her fancy formal queen’s garbs. Only it had been refitted to accommodate her humanoid body. The sleeves were long. The dress was whole and went all the way around her, and she wore a red and white, royal robe.

While walking into the theater, Lightning even noticed two familiar faces in the crowd. “It’s Rhymey and Fluttershy.”

They stopped for a minute to say hi. “Why are you guys here?” asked Lightning.

“I had lots of spare time, so Rhymey thought he’d take me out tonight.” said Fluttershy.

Rhymey nodded and said…

“The ballet is such a poetic place,
It brings a smile right to my face.
The music plays, and dancers go on
It’s poetry in motion, and ever so on.”

They were all glad to see each other and thought they would all have dinner together after the show, but for now they all took their seats. Rhymey and Fluttershy sat down below on the main floor, while the royal party had a special balcony box reserved. They could see everything, except Spike, if he wasn’t sitting on Starla’s head. “Just don’t mess up my mane.” she said.

The show began…

It was a ballet story about a weary young stallion who dreamed of being someone special and well known and respected, but he was so ridiculed and mocked by others that he began to lose confidence. Along the way he met a young mare who seemed troubled, and it turned out she was a princess who was on the run to escape the boredom and traditions of palace life. The two appeared to be falling in love.

Celestia and Grand Ruler took an immediate shine to the story. It was almost exactly identical to their past lives. Celestia had tears in her eyes at some of the sad parts. Her husband passed her a hankie.

Starla squeezed Lightning’s hand softly, and he gripped tight in response, both they were bedazzled not just by the story, but the graceful and skillful movements the dancers showed.

The only one who didn’t seem interested was Spike. He had finally fallen asleep after trying his best to keep awake.

Rhymey and Fluttershy were enjoying the show too. “They’re so graceful.” Fluttershy whispered. Rhymey nodded in agreement; by this time he had enough inspiration to write a whole book of poetry, and maybe a few songs.

Soon, the first half of the show was over and an intermission happened to give the dancers a small rest period, and the audience a chance to stretch their legs a bit. Spike woke up startled by all the hustling. “Huh? What’s going on?” he asked. “Have a nice nap?” Starla teased. The others all snickered softly, and Spike felt very embarrassed. “It’s all right, Spike. You’re still young.” said Celestia.

The intermission was soon over and everyone began to take their seats for the next act to open, but as the dancers took their places to begin, all the lights went out. Everyone gasped and stuttered and stammered in the dark. Then suddenly the stage lit up again and something was there that wasn’t before on the stage. “What’s that?” asked Spike.

The creature was green and yellow with pink mane on its head. It’s had sharp claws and teeth.

(Like this)

“Is it part of the set?” wondered Lightning. They all soon got their answer as the creature roared at the dancers, frightening them.

Fluttershy screamed and held on tightly to Rhymey, and it soon became clear that thing was no dancer. “Everyone out!” shouted Grand Ruler. Everyone, except the gang ran out of the theater “Let’s go down there!” said Lightning as he, Starla, Fluttershy and Rhymey leapt down below to join the others.

Meanwhile, Mykan and Midnight were feeding Jewel some chicken soup. “Thanks for taking care of me, guys.”

“No problem, Jewel.” Mykan said.

“Yeah. We never leave a friend alone and sick.” Midnight added. Jewel couldn’t help but smile at her friends.

Suddenly, the front door burst open!

“What the heck was that?” Midnight cried.

Then, a familiar item came up into Jewel’s bedroom and right to her bedside. “What’s your Animal Staff doing here, Jewel?” Mykan asked.

“I don’t.. cough.. know.” Jewel replied.

The staff’s orb began to glow and showed an image of the ballet. “What’s a Megaraptor doing in the middle of the theater?” Midnight asked.

They saw their majesties using the of magic and they created a barrier around the ponies and dinosaur so the theater doesn’t get damaged. Lightning and the others trying to attack it but it was too fast, causing them to accidentally hit each other. “That dino’s too fast!” Mykan cried.

Jewel tried to get out of bed. “I’ve got to... cough... cough.. get to that theater... achoo.”

Mykan and Midnight gently pushed her back into bed. “You can’t Jewel. You’re still sick.” Mykan cautioned.

“But whose going to catch the dinosaur?” Jewel asked.

“I’ll go.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah. I’ve seen how you use your dinosaurs.”

Jewel sighed an reluctantly said. “Alright. The Megaraptor is a wind element so it beat you’ll need to use Blitz since he is a lightning element.”

“Got it. Come on Blitz.” Just as Mykan was about to get out the door. “Mykan Wait! Take Blossom with you.”

“Who?”

“My Fukisaurus.”

“Ooooh. Okay. Let’s go guys.” Mykan grabbed the AnimalStaff and Blitz and Blossom followed him out the door and to the He use day his teleportation belt to warp them to the theater.

The went and saw Queen Celestia. “Your majesty!” Mykan called. Celestia turned around and saw him and the dinosaurs.

“Mykan! What are you doing here?!” she asked.

“I’m here to catch the dinosaur. Can you get me in?”

“I’m afraid not.”

“Can I teleport inside?”

“You may be able to.” Mykan decided to go for it. He pressed his belt and he and the dinosaurs enter the dome. “Mykan! Blitz! Blossom! What are you guys doing here?” Lightning asked as he got bashed by the Megaraptor.

“We’re here to help.” Mykan rapped the grass and lightning stones and it turned Blitz and Blossom into cards.

He swiped the cards saying ”STARFLEET SLASH PENTACERATOPS ROAR! FUKISAURUS BLOOM!”

Blitz landed on the ground and so did Blossom in battle mode.

(Like this)

They both roared and the gang gazed at awe at them. “Alright you two have at it!” Mykan called. Blitz immediately charged the Megaraptor but it dodged him, however, Blitz smacked it with his tail sending him into the dome wall.

A grass move card appeared in front of Mykan.

“Blossom! NATURES BLESSING! Renergize my friends.” Mykan exclaimed.

Blossom rested up and leaves swirled all around her. She roared and launched the leaves at the ponies. They immediately felt their powers being restored.

“I feel totally pumped up!” Lightning said.

“Me too!” Starla added.

Blitz mananged to knock the Megaraptor onto the floor. A lightning move card appeared infront of Mykan this time.

”LIGHTNING SPEAR!” Mykan swiped the card across the stone and Blitz was covered in lightning energy. He charged the Megaraptor and leaped high into the air actually breaking the barrier and sending their majesties flying!

A bolt of lightning pierced through the Megaraptor. Blitz landed on the floor while the Megaraptor fell to the ground and turned back into a card.

“Alright Mykan!” Lightning cried.

“You did it!” Fluttershy added. All the other creatures and even the dancers came back in the theater, cheering and applauding. The spotlight shone on fighters on stage. Spike was cheering and flipping madly with joy. Grand Ruler and Celestia were proud of the fighters. “Take a bow.” Celestia said “You’ve earned it for such a stupendous performance!” added Grand Ruler.

The fighters shrugged and thought “What the heck.” and they all bowed most kindly to the cheering and wooing crowd. Even Fluttershy managed to bow in front of that big crowd without feeling too nervous.

Even though the battle was won, the ballet theater was still a little damaged, and needed repairs. Thus, the rest of the show was canceled, but their majesties decided to invite all the fighters for a lovely dinner at the palace.

“Hey guys!”

Everybody turned and saw Midnight walking towards them. “Hey Midnight. Where’s Jewel?” Mykan asked.

“She’s still in bed.” Midnight replied. Everybody felt bad for Jewel having missed the ballet and being ill. “Poor thing.” Fluttershy whimpered. “She must be so sad.”

“Well she’s just a little sad, that’s all.” Midnight objected.

“Maybe we can go and cheer her up?” Starla suggested. Everybody agreed with that.

Jewel was sleeping peacefully in her bed with a mountain of tissues in a trash can near her bed. Mareep and Rockruff whimpered at her.

“Cough... Cough... I’m okay guys.. a-achoo. Really.”

The door opened and her bedroom door opened up. Lightning, Starla, Fluttershy, Rhymey, Mykan and their majesties came in. “What are you guys doing here? Cough... cough.”

“We came to cheer you up.” Fluttershy replied.

“Sniffle... how?” Mykan softly swiped the Megaraptor card across the wind stone and a chibi version of the Megaraptor appeared: its upper body was yellow with the lower part was green as it had a little tuff of pink fur on its head. “That’s what this little guy is for.” Mykan said.

Jewel aww’d at the little guy. “And were going to stay with you the whole night.” Lightning said.

“But then you guys might get sick.” Jewel warned.

“Don’t worry we won’t.” Celestia stated. Jewel sighed and seeing that her friends weren’t going to leave her alone, she smiled at her friends and she met them take care for her all through the night.

In our next episode; Sombra and Chrysalis finish their project to destroy the ponies but it escaped to United Equestria where it meets Jewel who found herself in a dangerous situation.

Can Jewel find the project a new purpose?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic...

“One Mysterious Pokémon”

Episode 15: One Mysterious Pokémon

It’s been two weeks and no attacks from Sombra, Chrysalis or the minions.

The reason was because they were all working on a secret and powerful project in their ships workshop.

“Finally, our latest project is finally completed, and with it we’ll destroy those ponies and capture that unicorn.” Sombra said.

Chrysalis and the minions gazed at their project. It was a pokémon that had all created; a six feet tall, quadruped, chimeric Pokémon with traits from a variety of creatures. Its head is enclosed in a brown helmet with green markings, designed to suppress its power to stable levels. The helmet has a large jaw piece that wraps around the front with large, round hinges on the side.

Each hinge is covered by a green X-shaped marking. Small gray eyes can be seen from within rectangular black holes on the front, and there are two pointed ears on the top. Around the base is a collar with four protruding vanes that are tipped with a three-way spike. This collar has a thin green line between the vanes, and each vane has a green hexagon near the end.

An axe-like blade with a band around the middle extends backward from the top of the helmet. The front tip of the blade has a small, silver spike that hooks downward.

A mane of gray fur hangs from below the creatures helmet and covers its shoulders and chest. Most of its torso and legs is covered in short black fur. The lower half of each front leg is insectoid and green with spikes along the back, while the rear legs have thick purple scales on the flanks, shins, and on the top of the foot.

All four of its feet have three toes, but in the front two toes face forward and one backward. Additionally, the hind paws have a short, purple claw on the back of the ankle. Its fish-like tail consists of two dark blue spines with a light blue fin stretched between them. The top spine has a line of short, gray spikes.

It’s name was Type: Null.

“It’s simply beautiful, your majesty.” Swift complimented.

“Indeed,, now lets bring our beautiful creature to life.” Sombra pressed the reaper button and the large cage began to empty the water. Once it was all gone, the pokémon’s eyesnapped open!

It went crazy and broke open the cage with just one charge. “What happening to it!” Carla demanded.

“I don’t know!” Bronc stated.

Type: Null rushes out of the lab and down a long hallway with the villains in hot pursuit. Suddenly, It glowed pink and it disappeared!

“Where’d it go!” Chrysalis asked.

“Probably down to United Equestria.” Swift replied. “Now how will we destory those measly ponies?”

“Luckily, I created a backup plan Incase this failed.” Sombra replied.

“What is it your majesty?” Carla asked. Everybody gathered around as Sombra explained his plan. When he was done, everybody had sinister smiles on their faces.

Meanwhile, Jewel was out in he royal garden with all her friends, their majesties and Professor Brain.

They wanted to see what other powers Jewel’s dinosaurs hold. “Okay Jewel, sent out all the dinosaurs.” Grand Ruler said.

“Okay.” Jewel got out her Animal Staff and the dinosaur cards and said, ”STARFLEET SLASH! DINOSAURS RISE!”

Blitz appeared in battle mode and five other dinosaurs.

The second was nine high and thirty three feet long. It was yellow with long spikes running down its neck. Name: Amargasaurus.

The third one was lime green with dark green marking. It stood one two legs. It was seven feet high and sixteen feet long. Name: Fukisaurus.

The fourth one was purpose with purple and blue shaded plates running down its back and it had spikes at the end of its tail. It stood one four legs and at nine feet tall and thirty three feet long. Name: Stegosaurus.

The fifth was light brown with a large dome on its head with spikes on the side. It’s head was glowing rainbow colors. It stood at fifteen feet high and seventeen feet long ad on two legs. Name: Pachycephalosaurs

The sixth one was gray with pink highlights on the upper part of it body and it had a long sail down it back that was the color of fire. It stood one two legs. Standing at sixteen feet high and forty feet long. Name: Acrocanthosaurus.

The seventh one was light blue and stood one two legs. Standing at fourteen feet high and nine feet long. Name: Allosaurus.

The last one was blue with purple shading and has four flippers. Standing at twenty feet long and nine feet high. Name: Futabasaurus.

“Wowie!” Pinkie cried.

“Amazing!” Mykan stated. All the others added their own comments to the creatures.

“How are they looking Professor?” Celestia asked.

“Impressive, your majesty. These creature are incredible strong. Stronger than any monsters we’ve faced before.”

Everybody was astounded by this. Jewel turned them all back into cards and she swiped the cards again and they all turned into their chibi modes (same colors but smaller and the Fukisaurus stood on all fours.)

“Cute!” Fluttershy cooed.

Everybody chuckled at that. After that, Jewel and her friends went to Cake’s Café of some breakfast.

Jewel left her dinosaur cards and Animal Staff at the lab in New Canterlot, so Professor Brain could study them. He assured Jewel they would be well taken care for.

“Those dinosaurs were amazing Jewel!” Rainbow said.

“Yeah. All kinds of colors and elements. Who knew?!” Lightning added.

“Thanks guys. I just hope I meet some new pokémon friends. You know for Mareep and Rockruff.” Jewel replied.

“Don’t worry darling, you’ll find more friends for them.” Rarity reassured.

“Yeah. You’re right.” Suddenly, Jewel began to glow in dark aura. “Umm Guys. What going on?” she asked nervously. Just then, she vanished!

Jewel reappeared in steel cage with a anti-magic manacle on her horn, in a dark place with a lot of caverns and rocky peaks. She was told about this place, where all of Equestria’s eneimes were sealed away including Tirek.

“New Tartarus.” Even saying the name aloud gave Jewel the creeps. “Not good.” Jewel tried to pull in the cage bars but they wouldn’t budge.

Jewel knew that she had to get out of the cage and get back to New Ponyville. However, without her magic, Staff and cards, she couldn’t.

”Great. I’m trapped in a cage in New Tartarus without any clue how to get out or get back home. Now what?”

Back in New Ponyville, Lightning and all his friends were going frantic with worry. As soon as Jewel disappeared, they immediately search all of New Ponyville. Nothing.

Lightning wrote a letter to their majesties about it and they told everybody to meet at the palace at once.

Soon, everybody was there. “So Jewel simply glowed in a dark aura and disappeared.” Grand Ruler said.

“Yes, master. And we don’t know where she went.” Lightning replied.

“I hope she’s okay.” Starla added.

“We’ve got to find her before something bad happens to her.” Rainbow stated.

Jewel’s dinosaur friends whimpered, worried about their friend and owners safety.

“Don’t worry, we’ll find her.” Lightning said to them.

Tweet Tweet Tweet

Everybody suddenly turned and saw a blue jay at the window. “Hi Mister Blue Jay, what are you doing here?” Fluttershy asked.

The bird chirped at her and she gasped in horror and shock. “What did it say Fluttershy?” Rainbow asked.

“He said that he saw Jewel in a cage at..... New Tartarus.”

Everybody gasped.

“New Tartarus! Why in the hotel bills is she doing there?!” Applejack asked.

“This smells like Sombra’s dirty work!” Pinkie cried.

“I believe you’re right, Pinkie, but why would Sombra sent her there?” Buddy asked.

“Well. That place is almost inescapable. Sombra must have sent Jewel there to keep her out of the picture.” Artie theorized. “That way it would be easier for them to destory us and capture her at the same time.”

The bird chirped again at Fluttershy. “Oh my.”

“What is it?” Starla asked.

“He says there’s another creature he’s never seen before and it was heading for New Tartrus!” Fluttershy replied.

Hearing that, made everybody nervous. “What did it look like?” Celesto asked.

“He said he didn’t get a good look at it.” Fluttershy replied.

“Well, What are we waiting for Let’s go get our friend back!” Rainbow stated. But before they could go the alarms sounded and Captain Shania burst into the throne room.

“Your majesties! There’s a dinosaur attacking the village!”

Mykan raced to the window and identified the dinosaur. It Harv a gray body with red markings going down it’s body. “That’s a Saurophaganax!”

“Let’s go!” Lightning snapped. Everybody really aced out the palace including their majesties to get the civilians off the streets.

Krysta was already in the village with her fairy soldier evacuating the ponies. “Come on, keep it moving!” Krysta yelled.

Th friends confronted the Saurophaganax. It growled and roared at them. “Let’s go!” Lightning called. Everybody charged forth.

Meanwhile, Jewel was sulking in her cage, thinking that she was never going to get out of it. Just then, something started pawing at her cage bars. Jewel jumped for a second and then looked at the creature. “What kind of pokémon are you?” she asked.

The Pokémon growling softly, “Type: Null is your name?”

Type: Null nodded. Type: Null roared softly again, “You were created by King Sombra!” Jewel cried. “But you escaped?”

Type: Null nodded again. “So what are you doing here?”

Type: Null did not respond. Instead, it raised it’s claw and slashed the bars of Jewel’s cage. “Woah…. you’re strong.”

Jewel stood up and looked around, “Now I've gotta back to New Ponyville.” she said then she sulked again, “Whichever way that is.” Type: Null could sense her distress and nudged her. “What is it?”

Type: Null nudged towards his back. “You want me to get on?” Jewel asked. Type: Null nodded and roared softly. “You know the way to New Ponyville?!” Type: Null nodded.

Jewel hopped onto his back and Type: Null began leaping from rocky peak to peak until they were out of New Tartarus and near the Dragon Lands. “Wow, you’re really athletic.”

“Now we have to go through the…. Gulp…. Dragon Lands.” Jewel has been told of the Dragon Lands and that the dragons living there did not take kindly to others in their territory, especially ponies. Type: Null growled softly. “You’ll keep me safe?”

Type: Null nodded.

“Well…. Okay. Guess we better get going then.” Type: Null walked into the Dragon Lands, a large mountainous area with volcanoes and lava pits for the dragons. Type: Null leaped over multiple lava pits, much to Jewel’s relief.

Everything was going smoothly, until…

“Hey! What are you doing here, pony?” a familiar voice called.

A large group of teenage dragons flew down in front of Jewel and Type: Null. Jewel recognized the leader of the group as Garble, a dragon that Spike faced before. “Umm.. we’re just.. Uh… passing through.” Jewel squeaked.

“You’re not going to be passing through our place.” Garble said while cracking his knuckles. Jewel gulped nervously. Type: Null growled fiercely at the large group. “Aww, is your little pet going to take us on?” Pee Wee challenged.

Jewel could sense Type: Null’s anger growing. She gently rubbed his back, “Easy, Type: Null.” she soothed. “Easy.”

“How about we show teach these two a lesson, boys.” Garble added. The dragons began to advance towards Jewel and Type: Null. It was about to charge them when Jewel claimed, “There’s too many of them buddy, you can’t fight them all by yourself.”

The dragons were getting closer. Type: Null roared loudly and leaped high into the air and raised it’s claws which glowed with massive amounts of energy. It slashed the first line of dragons before landing safely on the ground while the dragons fell to the ground.

“That was Dragon Claw!” Jewel thought. More dragons came soaring in from all directions. “Uh oh.” Jewel whimpered.

Type: Null waited until the last second to leap high into the air, causing the dragons to crash into each other. It came back down, covering itself in massive energy, it bashed into the dragons, sending them flying all over the Dragon Lands!

“That was Giga Impact!”

Garble was speechless and shocked. Type: Null landed in front of Grable and growled. “Alright! Alright! You can pass!” he cried.

Type: Null proudly walked pass Garble and out of the Dragon Lands. “That was awesome!” Jewel exclaimed. Type: Null blushed. Jewel noticed some dirt marks on it’s body. “Here let me clean-uh!”

Jewel thought of summoning a blanket to clean Type: Null but the only way she could do that was with her magic, which unfortunately was still blocked by the anti-magic manacle on her horn. Type: Null saw the pesky thing and raised it claw and gently used Crush Claw and slashed the manacle right off.

“Thanks.”

Jewel summoned a went rag and wiped Type: Null free of dirt. “There all clean.” Type: Null nuzzled Jewel with it’s control mask, making her laugh. “Down boy, Down.” Jewel said while laughing. “You’re just a big softie.”

Soon, Jewel’s stomach gurgle and growled loudly. “Oops, guess I should have eaten breakfast before all of this.” she said embarrassed.

Type: Null’s stomach growled too. “Sounds like you’re just as hungry.”

Jewel looked at the trees and saw some apples. Using her magic, she levitated them down to her and Type: Null.

But there was one small problem; how was Type: Null going to eat the apple with that control mask?

“How are you going to eat this?” Jewel asked.

Suddenly, she saw the control mask starting to crack and break. It completely fell off and it revealed a new pokémon.

It’s chimeric body is nearly identical to that of Type: Null; however, the fur from its head turns from gray to silver, and the membrane and spikes on its fish-like tailfin turn white.

Without its control mask, its mechanical, lupine head is revealed. Its snout is metallic on its nose bridge and upper jaw, both of which lead to a triangular black nose framed by three red lines. Its upper jaw ends in a sharply pointed overbite, while its lower jaw has two visible fangs, one on each side.

Its eyes have white sclerae, bright silver irises, and no pupils. These eyes are mostly surrounded by black coloration, framed along the bottom by its upper jaw. On each side of its head is a circular, metallic port, with a white circle crossed by a metal line.

The back of the crest on its head opens up, and three long spikes jut out of it. Its two ears, one on each side of its crest, are short and pointed, with black and red sections on their insides.

“Woah. You evolved into Silvally!” Jewel cried.

Silvally roared happily and nuzzled Jewel. Jewel gave it the apples and they both Steven happily and were soon back on the he road to New Ponyville.

They neared the Everfree Forest when they heard a massive ROAR!

“What the-! What was that?!”

Silvally growled angerly and Jewel saw why. “A Saurophaganax!”

Silvally raced to the scene as fast as it could. When they got there, they saw that it was chaos! Lightning and his team were on the ground and their suits were de-energized as well as the friendship ponies.

Only Mykan, Midnight and their majesties, who came when they saw the battle getting worse, were left.

“Not good. I’ve gotta help them but I don’t have my staff.” Jewel said to herself.

Then she heard little roars coming towards her. She turned and saw Blitz and her others dinosaurs coming towards her with the Animal Staff in their mouths.

“Guys! You got my staff!” Jewel laughed.

Blitz and the chibi Acrocanthosaurs that Jewel named Blaze gave her determined looks. “Alright, Let’s do this!”

Jewel tapped the lightning stone and fire stone, turning Blitz and Blaze into cards.

DINO-SLASH! PENTACERATOPS, ACROCANTHOSAURS! ROAR!

Blaze and Blitz roared and both charged the Saurophaganax. “Lookout!” Mykan cried. Their majesties saw them and scattered.

From there, they all saw Jewel safe and sound on an unknown pokémon. “Jewel! You’re okay. Thank the stars.” Celesto stated.

“So, who’s your new friend?” Midnight asked.

“I’ll answer tht later. Right now, I have a dinosaur to catch!”

Blitz and Blaze rammed the Saurophaganax repeatedly, making the already angry dinosaur, more agressive.

Blitz rammed the dino with his horns and tossed Saurophaganax into the air and Blaze leaped high into the high and smacked it with his tail, sending him crashing to the ground.

Jewel pulled out a lightning move card. ”LIGHTNING STRIKE!” she slashed the card and Blitz’s horns charged up with lightning. He launched a powerful current of lightning at the dinosaur. The dinosaur roared in pain from receiving massive damage and it turned back into a card.

“Alright Jewel!” Lightning cried.

“That’s the way!” Artie added.

Jewel returned Blitz and Blaze into their cards and back into their chibi forms. She’s went over and picked up the Saurophaganax card.

That’s when her friends came over. “That was amazing Jewel!” Rainbow cried. “You showed him what for!”

“Indeed. Now how about you tell us about you’re friend here.” Grand Ruler added, referring to Silvally.

“With pleasure, your majesty.” Jewel said and she’s explained everything that happens to her after she read teleported away. When she was finished the gang was shocked and concerned.

“This thing was made by King Sombra and Chrysalis?!” Pinkie cried.

“To destory us?” Starla added.

“That’s correct, ponies.” a voice sneered. Everybody turned and saw the evil duo.

“What are you doing here?” Lightning growled.

“To take back what’s ours.” Chrysalis stated. “And now our little project... destory those ponies!”

Silvally didn’t even move, much to Sombra and Chrysalis’s chargin. Instead just walked in front of the ponies and growled at the two. “What are you doing!” Sombra thundered.

Silvally charged the evil duo and yellow teeth-shaped sparks surrounded his mouth. He bit down on the duo and explosions consumed both of them.

“That was Thunder Fang!”

The duo growled irrablu that the fact that their creation wasn’t on the ponies side now. “YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS PONIES!” Sombra thundered as he and Chrysalis disappeared.

The ponies were amazed at the power of the pokemon. Silvally went over to Jewel and nuzzled her. “It appears this pokémon has taken a liking to you Jewel.” Celestia stated.

“Indeed.” Grand Ruler agreed.

“Looks like we have a new friend and ally in this war Jewel.” Lightning said as Jewel rubbed Silvally and he smiled at her.

In our next episode; The changelings first friendship lesson starts but it get a put on hold when Jewel is arrested for a serious crime that she didn’t but commit. The changelings have to find proof that their mentor is innocent before she’s sentenced to prison.

Can they save the day?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic....

“From Lesson to Rescue”

Episode 16: From Lesson to Rescue

Pharynx, Pyrite, Pyrax, Silver and Crystal, the five changelings that were shown the magic of friendship by Major Jewel Crystal. Now they were beginning their first friendship lesson.

“Alright you guys, your first lesson is about trusting your instincts. Your instincts tell you when something doesn’t seem right.”

“Like what?” Pyrite asked.

“Like when someone you know is accused of something that you know is something they would never do.” Jewel replied.

“Like the way your gave us a chance when the other ponies wouldn’t?” Silver asked.

“Exactly.”

Knock Knock Knock

Jewel walked over to the door and opened it revealing two royal guards. “Umm. Hello, is there anything I can help you with?”

“Major Jewel Crystal you are hereby under arrest for treason.” One guard said. The five changelings all gasped in horror. “Treason?!” Jewel cried. “Why?”

“We cannot say.” The other guard stated. “Just come with us.”

Jewel reluctantly went with the guards to New Canterlot Palace while her changeling friends all watched with horror.

“Arrested for treason!” Pharynx said. “There must be some mistake.”

“We’ve got to find Commander Lightning!” Silver said. “Maybe he’ll be able to clear Jewel’s name.”

The others agreed and raced to Lightning’s house. “Commander Lightning! Commander Lightning!” Crystal cried.

Starla opened the door. “Pharynx? What’s are you and the others doing here?”

“We need Commander Lightning’s help.” Pyrite said. “Who called for me?” All do them turned and saw Lightning coming towards them. “Commander Lightning, Jewel just got arrested for treason by two royal guards!” Silver cried.

Starla and Lightning gasped in shock. “That can’t be right!” Starla replied.

“We know. We think you might be able to clear her name.” Pharynx pleaded. “Okay. Let’s go to New Canterlot. Starla, round up the others.” Lightning stated.

Soon, everybody was at New Canterlot Palace and called into the throne room by their majesties. “Master, What’s going on?” Lightning asked.

“Yeah. Why in the hotel-bills is Jewel accused of treason?” Applejack added.

“She would never do anything to harm the kingdom!” Artie added.

“Yesterday night, security cameras caught Jewel purposely setting changelings loose from the prison caverns.” Luna said.

“But she was with me and the others last night, your majesties.” Pharynx objected.

“Unfortunately, the cameras say otherwise.” Using her magic she shown the gang the security footage from last night. It showed Jewel going to some changeling cells and purposely using her magic to break the capture spheres and setting the changelings loose. The ponies couldn’t believe it. “That can’t be true!” Lightning cried. “I’m sorry Lightning, but we have no choice but to take decisive action.” Celestia added.

“You mean a trial?” Lightning asked.

Grand Ruler nodded regretfully. “But Jewel couldn’t have done that.” Pyrite said.

“But the cameras show that she is guilty.” Pinkie said.

“Well.... we’ll just have to prove her innocence.” Crystal stated.

Their majesties could see that the changelings were not believing that Jewel would do something so horrid and were determined to prove her innocent. “Very well, we will give you until the morning of the trial to prove Jewel Crystal is innocent.” Grand Ruler stated. The five changelings nodded. The meeting was soon over and the changeling s all gathered in the Golden Oak Library. “So how are we going to prove Jewel’s innocent Pharynx?” Pyrax asked.

“First stop, the scene of the crime!” Pharynx stated. All the changelings went to the prison xaverns and searched the ground for snyhting useful. “Hey guys! Look!” Pyrite called. The others came over and saw a piece of hair on the floor. It was aquamarine with a purple streak in it! “That looks like Jewel’s hair!” Silver said.

“But look! It’s darker than usual.” Crystal noticed. She was right. The hair piece was a darker color than Jewel’s bright colored mane. “But how can Jewel’s hair be here but it’s not Jewel’s hair?” Pyrite asked. Next they looked at the security cameras again. They saw Jewel walking to all of the cells and unlocking them using her magic.

“Stop! Zoom in!” Crystal zoomed in on Jewel. It showed there was something off about her magic aura. “See her magic aura?” Crystal asked. “Yeah. It was green instead of pink.” Silver replied.

“And Jewel looks way darker in skin and mane tone as well.” Pyrite said.

“So how can Jewel be there if Jewel was with us last night?” Silver asked.

“There’s only one explanation.” Pharynx stated. “It’s a changeling doing this.”

The others gasped in shock. “But how? Starfleet capturered all the bad changelings... well.... except us.”

“We’ll just have to stakeout this area and find out.” Pharynx stated.

That night the changelings disguised as rocks were hiding in the prison caverns. The door opened and a figure walked in. It went to one of the prison cells and opened it and using its magic, broke the capture sphere dealing the bad changeling. “Thanks.”

Suddenly, the reformed changelings made themselves visible. “Hold it!” Pyrite turned on the light revealing a dark Jewel.

“Sooo, you’ve finally caught on huh?” Mean Jewel said.

“So you’re the one whose been releasing all the bad changelings.” Crystal said. Mean Jewel laughed. “Took you long enough.”

“Why are you doing this?” Pharynx growled.

“My masters wanted to make sure that pesky animal unicorn was out of the way. So Chrysalis created me and assigned me to release her army. That way the ponies would accuse my goody two shoes double of it, so they would lock her up and she’d be unable to assist them anymore and that way she’d get her army back and we could easily destory the ponies.” Mean Jewel explained.

“What does our mentor have to do with this?” Silver asked.

“My masters thought that if they couldn’t get rid of that pony then the ponies would get rid of her for us.” Mean Jewel said.

“So you thought if you made Jewel look like a traitor then our friends would lock her away for good!” Pyrax stated.

“And it worked perfectly.” Mean Jewel hissed.

“Well your plan is about to be terminated!” Pharynx stated. He and Crystal trapped Mean Jewel in their goop, preventing her from moving . The others placed the changeling back into prison.

“Great! Now we can prove Jewel is innocent!” Silver cried with relief.

The next morning the trial was held. The ponies didn’t see the changelings and they decided that they couldn’t get any evidence that Jewel was innocent, which they thought would happen. The security cameras were shown as evidence.

Grand Ruler then stood and called to the Judges, “Will the Panel need to deliberate?”

“We see no need. We have decided on our verdict.” said the Chairman.

“You may proceed.” said Celestia. Everyone in the court stood waiting to final word from the Chairman. “It is the ruling of the supreme world high court of United Equestria that the defendant, Major Jewel Crystal, is found-“ before he could continue the doors burst open. “STOP!”

“Everybody turned and saw Pyrite, Pharynx, Pyrax, Silver and Crystal at the door. “Jewel’s innocent she didn’t commit the crime!” Silver cried out.

“Pfft. Oh yeah, then where’s your proof?” Rainbow asked showing a floating smirk. Pyrite and Crystal brought in Mean Jewel much to everybody shock, even their majesties.

“What is that horrid thing?” Rarity asked.

“It’s a changeling disguised as Jewel that Chysalis made!” Pharynx stated. Everybody gasped. “A created changeling!” Rainbow said. “Why would they do that?”

“So that you all would send Jewel to prison thereby getting her out of the way.” Silver explained. “They thought that if they couldn’t get Jewel out of the way themselves, then they let you do it for them.” Crystal stated.

Everybody throught a about this. “It was the perfect plan.” Lightning said.

“We almost fell for it!” Pinkie cried. Mean Jewel hissed at the ponies and Crystal smacked it upside her head. “No Hissing!” The jury cleared Jewel of all charges and she was free to go. She dashed to her changelings friends. “Thanks guys, you saved me again.”

“No Problem.” Pyrite said.

Pharynx looked at Jewel’s friends. “Now I think your friends an apology.” Pharynx said, referring to Jewel. The ponies all smilied sheepishly.

Soon, all the ponies and changelings were in the throne room and the ponies deeply apologized to Jewel. “We’re sorry for almost sending you to prison, Jewel.” Rainbow said.

“Yeah, we should have look more closely instead of jumping to confusions.” Buddy added.

“We’re so super sorry.” Pinkie added. Jewel forgave them for their mistake and their majesties spoke to the five changelings. “This is your victory too.” Celestia started.

“You all persisted in the face of doubt and your actions led to preventing us from making a huge mistake. Learning to trust your instincts is a valuable lesson to learn.” Grand Ruler added.

The changelings all smiled and Jewel smiled at her students. The changelings then group hugged with Jewel in the middle. Jewel giggled while the others just smiled at the six friends.

In our next episode; Jewel babaysits the royal twins when a dinosaur apoears and Sombra and Chrysalis are after it. It’s up to Jewel to keep it safe from their grasp, but that become difficult when the royal twins get involved.

Can Jewel keep the twins and the dinosaur out of trouble?

“Adventures in Babysitting”

Episode 17: Adventures in Babysitting

One day, their majesties were getting ready to leave for a conference in New Cloudsdale and they needed someone to watch over their three year old twins; Castor and Leilani.

They were both white alicorns but Castor had a blonde mane and brown eyes while Leilani had a pink mane and violet eyes. They both each had only one horn and were both humanoid like, and both their names had the same meaning as their parents’ names “Heavenly”

Their majesties decided that the only pony who could handle them was Jewel.

“Are you sure you can watch them?” Celestia asked.

“Yes. Your majesties.” Jewel replied. Just then the royal twins came into the throne room chasing a blue sparkling ball. “It’s mine!” Castor said. “No it’s mine!” Leilani yelled.

“Children.” Celestia called. The children sighed as they thought they were in trouble again. “Jewel’s going to watch you two while we go to a conference. You two behave now.” Celesto explained. The children nodded.

“We will.” the children answered at the same time. “Alright then. We’ll be back.” Celestia said. She and Grand Ruler departed for New Cloudsdale.

“So what do you kids wanna do first?” Jewel asked.

“Play tag!” Leilani replied. Leilani tapped Castor. “You’re it!” Leilani then ran away. Castor chased after her. Jewel weekly jogged after the two small alicorns, chuckling.

Meanwhile, a lone card flew into the royal garden. The card glowed blue and a dinosaur appeared. It roared and saw the palace. The door was open so it decided to go in.

Sombra and Chrysalis saw everything! “That looks like a fine creature we could use.” Chrysalis said. Sombra agreed and called for their minions. “You called masters?” Carla asked.

“Yes. I want you three to go and capture this dinosaur and the royal twins as well.” Sombra said.

The minions were confused. “Why the royal twins?” Swift asked.

“Because being the offspring of our enemies they hold great power which we can use against them.” Sombra explained. The minions caught on and nodded at their masters and they teleported to United Equestria.

The children and Jewel were now resting in the throne room. “That was fun!” Leilani said.

“Yeah.” Castor added.

“So what should we do now?” Jewel asked.

“How about you hand over the children.” Jewel gasped and she looked toward the doorway and saw the minions. She immediately stood in front of the royal children. “What do you want?” she snarled.

“We want the royal children. So hand them over!” Swift demanded. “Never!” Jewel responded.

“Well then.... we’ll just have to take them by force.” Bron stated. The minions moved towards the ponies. “Jewel.” the children whimpered. “Don’t worry, I won’t let them get you.” she reassured.

Suddenly the dinosaur leaped in front of Jewel and the children. It was yellow and purple with a little hair at the top of its head.

(Like this)

“A Utahraptor!” Jewel cried. The Utahraptor turned towards Jewel and the children and nodded toward she it’s back. “You want ya to get on?” Jewel asked. The Utahraptor nodded. Jewel lifted Leilani and Castor into the Utahraptor’s back and then hoisted herself up. The children gripped her by the waist. “Hold on.”

The Utahraptor roared and charged the minions. They scattered out of the way and the dinosaur raced out of the palace and into the streets of New Canterlot.

“After them!” Bron cried. The minions flew out the palace and polluters the dinosaur and ponies. What they didn’t know was that Captain Shania saw and heard everything and she sounded the alarm!

The ponies creamed in terror as the dinosaur raced down the street. “Give it up, Major!” Swift cried. “You can’t keep them away forever!”

Jewel didn’t pay them any mind and the Utahraptor burst into the forest.

Meanwhile, the two teams, Spike, Krysta and their majesties were at the throne room and were shows the security footage. Their majesties were hyperventilating while Krysta and Spike tried to calm them down. “Easy sire, Easy.” Krysta said.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, your majesty.” Spike added.

“Do you know where they went?” Lightning asked.

“Last thing I saw was the dinosaur with Jewel and the royal children on its back, running out of the palace and into the streets, with the minions on its tail.” Shaina replied.

“Then we’ve got to get to them before the minions do!” Rainbow said.

“Then let’s go!” Lightning said. The ponies Andy their mejesties, once recovered from their ‘episode’, flew out of the palace and followed the dinosaurs’ footprints.

Meanwhile, the Utahraptor was walking through the forest with its three passengers. “Jewel, I’m hungry.” Leilani whined. “Me too.” Castor added. The two children haven’t had anything to since breakfast. Jewel looked around and saw two apples on a tree. Using her magic, when levitated the apples down to the two alicorn children. “Here you go.” Jewel said. “Eat up.”

Leilani and Castor devoured the apples and licked their lips. “Thank you.” they said at the same time. Jewel smiled at them.

Suddenly the Utahraptor hissed violently. “What’s wrong?” Jewel asked.

“Give up those children!” Jewel gasped in horror as she saw the minions in front the them. Jewel tightened her grip on Castor and Leilani, “Never!”

Swift charged the Utahraptor. “Hang on!” The dinosaur leaped high in the air and landed behind Swift and smacked him hard with its tail, sending him into a tree. Swift got unstuck and charged again. The Utahraptor claws him with its sharp claws, sending hi flying and crashing into Carla. “Alright. You wanna play rough huh?”
Just before he walked about to charge again. ”UNIFORCE” he was blasted by a large golden stream of power. “Lightning!” Jewel cried. Lightning and the two teams landed in front of the dinosaur while their Majorie’s went right fro their children. “Are you two alright?” Celesto asked.

“Yes, daddy. Jewel kept us safe.” Leilani said. Jewel rubbed the children’s heads.

“You really think your friends can save you now?” Carla scoffed. “I will get those children and that dinosaur!”

Their majesties stood in front of Utahraptor. “You will do no such thing!” Grand Ruler said. Utahraptor roared and hissed at the villains. Their majesties could see that it wanted to fight.

Their majesties lifted Castor and Leilani off of its back and gave them to Jewel. “Keep them safe.” they whispered and Jewel nodded.

Utahraptor roared and lunged at Carla actually knocking her onto her back. The it went after Swift and Bron. It whacked them hard with it’s tail. “Incredible!” Applejack said.

“It’s strong!” Artie added.

Utahraptor roared and rushed towards the minions it then it made copies of itself and surrounded the minions the cookies continuously rammed the minions. “That’s Ninja Attack!” Jewel cried. The ponies were amazed by the power and speed of this dinosaur.

The minions fell to the ground when it was done attacking. They all struggled to get to their feet. They knew they were beaten. “You’ll pay for this ponies!” Carla declared as she and her comrades disappeared.

Utahraptor roared, curled up and glowed light blue and it turned into a card.

Lighting caught the card. “Another dinosaur secured.” he said.

They all went back to the palace. “Jewel, we can’t thank you enough for protecting or children.” Grand Ruler praised. Jewel smiled sheepishly and blushed. “Oh, it was nothing.” she said.

“Well we disagree.” Celestia said. “In fact, I believe that you deserve a promotion, to First-Class Major.”

The ponies gasped in excitement. “Really?!” Jewel asked.

“Indeed. You’ve earned it.” Grand Ruler replied. The mane five surrounded Jewel in a group hug. “Welcome to the club, Jewel.” Rainbow said. Jewel giggled, “Happy to be here, Rainbow.” she replied.

In our next episode; Jewel decided to skip out of Hearth’s Warming Eve and the ponies discover the reason and try to make her feel better.

“Hearth’s Warming Tale”

Episode 18: Hearth’s Warming Eve

It was nightime in United Equestria and all of the ponies were sleeping. Princess Luna watch over the night. The ponies were at the palace all excited and they had a good reason to be.

Tommorow would be Hearth's Warming Eve!

“I can’t wait for Hearth’s Warming Eve!” Pinkie cried.

“Me either.” Applejack added. As they were talking bout what they were going to do for the holidays, they saw Jewel walking towards them, but she had a really sad look on her face.

“Hi Jewel, ready to celebrate your first Hearth’s Warming Eve in New Ponyville?” Lightning asked.

“I was thinking I might just skip it.” Jewel replied in a sad voice. Her friends gasped in shock. “Skip Hearth’s Warming Eve!” Spike cried. Jewel nodded.

“But why in United Equestria would you want to avoid such a gorgeous holiday?” Rarity asked.

“I-I really don’t want to talk about it.” Jewel replied. “I’m going home. Night guys.” Jewel teleported to her home and just walked upstairs to her bedroom, crawled into bed and fell asleep.

“Now, why in the United Equestria would Jewel purposely miss out on Hearth’s Warming Eve?” Buddy asked.

“Let’s think about this.” Lightning said. “What is Hearth’s Warming Eve all about that Jewel doesn’t have?” Pinkie said.

All the ponies thought. Hearth’s Warming Eve is about coming together and celebrating with friends and family.

”Family. That’s it!” Starla thought.

“I know why Jewel wants to miss Hearth’s Warming Eve!” Starla cried.

“Really? Why?” Rainbow asked.

“The holiday is about spending time with family which Jewel doesn’t have anymore. Remember she said that she left her pack and haven’t seen them since.” Starla explained.

Everybody thought about that. “I think you’re right Starla.” Lightning said.

“But what can we do to cheer her up?” Rainbow asked.

Pinkie began leaping up and down crying. “Oh I know! I know! Pick me, me, me...!!!”

“Umm... yes Pinkie?” Buddy asked.

“A Party!” she cried. “We can all make a Hearth’s Warming Eve Party for Jewel.”

Everybody took a liking to that idea but they had to get permission from their majesties first. “I think it’s a marvelous idea.” Grand Ruler said.

“I agree.” Celestia said. Their majesties allowed the ponies to use the throne room for the party. Pinkie got all the party supplies and the ponies set up the whole throne room for tomorrow.

The next morning, snow covered the ground and ponies were decorating their houses with reefs and christmas lights.

Everybody began singing about the holidays.

https://m.

Everybody was happy about the holidays.... except for Jewel.

In the Golden Oak Library, Jewel was still laying down with a sad look on her face. Her pokémon were looking at her in concern.

“Mareep, reep.”

“Arf arf.”

Jewel turned towards them and smiled sadly at them. “I’m okay, you guys. I’m just not in the holiday mood.” Jewel replied.

The front door opened and Starla walked into her bedroom. “Hey Jewel.” she greeted.

“Hi Starla.” Jewel replied in a said voice.

”Poor Jewel she’s really out of it.” Starla thought.

“So Jewel you wanna come to New Canterlot Palace with me?” she asked. Jewel turned over and replied in a motionless voice. “No thanks.”

“Come on, you’ll like, I promise.”

Jewel knew that Starla wasn’t going to take ‘no’ for an answer so she reluctantly agreed. Starla smiled and she led Jewel out of the library and Starla teleported them to New Canterlot Palace.

They went to the main throne room and entered. Jewel immediately took notice to how dark the room was. “Starla, Why is the room so dark?”

Jewel didn’t hear Starla’s response. “Starla.... Hello?”

Suddenly the lights came on and all her friends came out and yelled. “SURPRISE HAPPY HEARTH’S WARMING EVE!”

Jewel saw the throne room decorated in lights and flowers and a mistletoe in the middle of the room as well as a Christmas tree littered with presents. “What’s all this?” Jewel asked.

“It’s your Christmas party silly.” Pinkie said. “We made this for you.”

“You did all this for me?” Jewel asked.

Applejack came up to her. “Of course sugarcube, Hearth’ Warming is about family and you’re our family too.”

“R-Really?” Applejack nodded. Jewel couldn’t help but smile with tears of joy. “Now, Let’s Party!” Pinkie cried.

Everybody agreed to that and the party began. The ponies all danced and sang to all their favorite songs. Lightning and Starla kissed each other under the mistletoe, same with their majesties.

Then it was present time. “Here Jewel Crystal, this is from me and Celestia.” Grand Ruler said, handing Jewel a large box with blue wrapping paper. “Oooooooh.”

Jewel took the present from him. She tore into the wrapping paper and opened the present. Inside were two three pokémon eggs.

One was blue with snowflake on it. The second egg was blue with black stripes on it and the last one was white with a single red stripe.

“Yeah! Pokémon eggs!” Jewel cried. The ponies chuckled at her bubbly behavior. She gently took the three eggs out of the box and placed them on the floor.

“So when do you think they’ll hatch?” she asked.

“About a week.” Grand Ruler replied.

Jewel looked at three eggs with anticipation. Then her friends gave her their gifts; Lightning and Starla gave Jewel a book on Animal Magic related sleeks so she could practice using her animal powers and magic. Rarity gave Jewel a purple fedora with a stripe of gems in the center. Pinkie gave Jewel a cookbook. Fluttershy gave Jewel a book on Pokémon and Lightning’s friends gave Jewel a scabbard, to help carry and hold her staff when she wasn’t using it.

“Thanks you guys.” she said. All her friends smiled at her. “And I have a present for you guys.” Jewel said.

The ponies were surprised and eager to see what Jewel’s present was. Her Animal Staff appeared and it spun around glowing in a bright light and when it died down, the staff had turned into a guitar!

“New ability?” Celestia asked.

“Yep.”

The lights in the room went out expect for two that were pointing at Jewel. Then she began to play.

https://m.

I moved across the map, suitcase full of dreams
Finally found a home, when y’all looked at me
And,you took me right front that day, he-ey

Things didn't always go accordin' to the plan
But you were always there, your hand in my hand
Takin' me somewhere so much better!

[Chorus]
It was the best year
It was the best year
Took me in right from the start
And yall are still my favorite part

Of was the best year
Cause you were right here
Ihave made the greatest friends
And family
In the best year of my life

[Verse 2]
We're runnin' side-to-side, hidin' from the rain
Sharin' all our fears on the A-Train
No destination, it's just y'all and me

Our home after dark neva' looked so right
No room for wrong, cause I found my family Couldn't ask for anything better!

[Chorus]
It was the best year
Took me in right from the start
And helped me learn and grow
It was the best year
Cause you were right here
I have made the greatest friends
And family
In the best year of my life

[Bridge]
Life is takin' me, life is takin' me
On a crazy ride
I hope your life will be, I hope your life will be
As great as you and I
'Til the end of time!

[Interlude]
Uh-oh
You were the best,

[Chorus]
It was the best year
Took me in right from the start
And helped me learn and grow
Of was the best year
Cause you were right here
I have made the greatest friends
And family
In the best year of my life

Her friends ran up to her and hugged her. “That was amazing, darling!” Rairty cried.

“Hoo-wee! I never knew you could like that!” Applejack added. Jewel blushed as the rest of her friends added their own compliments. “That was absolutely marvelous, Jewel Crystal.” Grand Ruler replied.

“Thank you.” Jewel said.

“And there’s one morning present we want to give to you Jewel Crystal.” Celestia said. Jewel looked at them confused as did the other ponies. “We know that you don’t have a perminate family. So me, Celesto and Lun would like to give you one.” Celestia proposed. The ponies gasped me in shock. “Really?” Jewel asked.

“Indeed.” Celesto added.

Jewel began shedding tears of joy and she dashed right up to the ITV majesties crying. “Ye-e-es!”

The ponies cheered happily and hugged their new family member. Now their majesties have a new daughter and Luna has a new niece. Cadence and Shining Armor now have a new cousin.

“Battle for the Heart”

Episode 19: Battle for the Heart

It’s was Hearts and Hooves Day in United Equestria. The day when ponies spend the day with their friends or a special somepony.

Today, Mykan, Midnight and Jewel were all walking to the park for their Hearts and Hooves Day picnic. Jewel was holding a picnic basket. “Ready for our picnic day Jewel?” Mykan asked.

“Yes. I can’t wait!” Jewel replied in excitement. The boys laughed at her cheeriness. “This is going to be the best day ev- Woah!” Jewel was cut off she two other stallions suddenly appeared in front of her.

One was yellow with a short, brown mane and tail and the other was red with a long, blue mane and tail. Names: Featherbangs and Blue Streak.

“Hey pretty, you wanna spend Hearts and Hooves Day with us?” Blue Streak asked while batting his eyes. Jewel blushed and acted nervous. “I.... ummm..... I-“

Seeing Jewel being uncomfortable due to the stallions flirting made the boys.... a little angry. Jewel was still stuttering, luckily Mykan and Midnight came to her rescue. “Sorry boys, she’s with us.” Mykan said.

“So why don’t you two just move along-“ Midnight added but he was cut off.

“Sorry to disappoint but Jewel doesn’t want to be with two immature creatures like you. She wants mature stallions like us.” Featherbangs replied. That irritated Mykan and Midnight.

“Who are you calling ‘immature’!” Mykan said. “Jewel doesn’t even want you to.”

“How do you know?” Blue Streak asked.

“We know she doesn’t!” Midnight said.

“Well then we’ll have to settle this with a battle. Whoever Jewel chooses will spend Hearts and Hoives Day with. Deal?” Featherbangs challenged.

“Deal!” The four boys shook on it and then turned around and left. Jewel could only ask on question. “What did I get myself into?”

Jewel informed her friends and they were all shocked by what she said.

Dyno... “They are gonna battle for you!”

Myte.... “On Hearts and Hooves Day?”

Rarity... “So romantic.”

Jewel sighed. “What am I gonna do?”

“Looks like you’re gonna have to choose.” Lightning said. Jewel knew he was right but she was really disappointed. “All I want was a simple picnic.” The others felt sympathy for her. “Come on let’s get to the park.” Starla said.

Everybody went to the park and saw only Mykan, Midnight, Featherbangs and Blue Streak there. “Alright, you boys ready? The first challenge will be a signing competition. Jewel will choose the winner at the end.” Lightning announced. “Ready?”

The four boys nodded. “Ready.”

“Aaaaaand Begin!”

(It went exactly like this)

https://m.

The four boys fell to the ground and Jewel leaped out of range. The friends just looked at them weird. “Okay... so Jewel, which pair do you choose?” Lightning asked.

“Ummm... Mykan and Midnight.” Jewel replied quietly. The boys cheered. “In your face!” Midnight said.

“Easy you two. It’s not over yet.” Lightning stated. “Onto the next challenge.... gestures!”

Mykan and Midnight approached Jewel with a box and chocolate and flowers in their hands. “Here Jewel. I hope you like it.” they said at the same time. Jewel felt her cheeks go red as she took the flowers. “Hehe thank you.” she said quietly.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and saw Featherbangs and Blue Streak with a large card that said ‘I Love you’

Mykan and Midnight growled at them. “Here you are, you sweet thing.” Featherbangs stated. Jewel blushed even more, giggled and she took the card.

“So you do you choose Jewel?” Lightning asked.

“Featherbangs and Blue Streak.”

The two stallions cheered and gloated about their winning. Now the boys were tied. “And onto the final challenge. The chocolate eating contest!”

Chocolate!” Jewel thought regretfully. Her stomach began churning at the thought of chocolate.

Being raised by wolves, her stomach was used to things like berries and raw meat... but chocolate was one of the many sweets her stomach couldn’t deal with, being that she’s never had it before in her life!

Soon she was facing two fourteen feet tall stacks of chocolate. One made by Mykan and Midnight and the other made by Featherbangs and Blue Streak.

“Oh my goodness!” Rarity cried.

“Mucho chocolate!” Dyno cried.

“Si!” Myte added.

“Now Jewel, you have to eat both these stacks of chocolate and whichever one you eat the more of, that’ll decide the winner of this competition and who you spend Hearts and Hooves Day with.” Lightning explained. “Are you ready?”

Jewel gulped and nodded. “And begin!”

Jewel began eating the two stacks of chocolate slowly and about two hours later she ate both of them. She looked terrible; she face was really green and was hugging her stomach with a pain expression on her face. “It’s a tie!” Lightning said.

The four boys were shocked and wanted one more challenge. They both went off into the park. The others were about to follow them when they heard Jewel moan.

“Jewel, darling, are you alright?” Rarity asked.

Jewel looked at them and shook her head. Her friend didn’t like the way her face looked. “Are you feeling okay?” Starla asked. Jewel shook her head. Her stomach gurgled sickly and painfully. “Ugh... my... stomach.”

Her friends could see that she was sick as a dog.

“Come on, we better get you home and to bed.” Pinkie said. The others agreed and helped Jewel stand up. She was really wobbly and she felt really dizzy and nauseous. “Uuuugggh. I feel sick.” she groaned.

“Easy sugarcube.” Applejack said. “We’re going to take you home.” They eventually got Jewel to the Golden Oak Library and they layed her down on the couch. Starla put a bucket near the couch, in case Jewel threw up. Mareep, Rockruff and Silvally were all worried about her.

“I think eating all that chocolate made her sick.” Fluttershy said.

“But how?” Buddy asked.

“Well she might not have even eaten chocolate before with being raised by wolves and all.” Artie stated. “So her stomach doesn’t agree with it for now.”

Starla placed a blanket over Jewel and she snuggled into the couch. “Thanks.” she said.

“Come on guys, Jewel needs her rest. Mareep, Rockruff, Silvally, watch over her okay?” Starla said.

The pokémon nodded and the gang left. They went back to the park and found the four boys. They were about to start another’s challenge when they saw the gang coming. “Hey guys.” Midnight greeted. “Where’s Jewel?”

“She’s sick in bed.” Buddy replied, much to the boys shock. “Sick! How?” Mykan asked.

“She are so much chocolate from your silly contest that it got her sick to her stomach.” Artie explained.

Mykan and Midnight felt bad. It was their fault that Jewel was ill. “Where is she now?” Mykan asked.

“She’s resting in her bed at home.” Lightning replied. Mykan and Midnight nodded and both headed to the Golden Oak Library. Entering the tree, they saw Jewel sleeping in on the couch but she woke up when she heard the door opening. “Oh. Hey guys.” she greeted weakly.

It pained Mykan and Midnight with guilt to see her like this. “Hey.... how are you feeling?” Midnight asked.

“Okay... I guess.” Jewel replied.

“Jewel... we wanted to say... we’re sorry for getting you sick.” Mykan started.

“And making you judge our stupid competition. We’re supposed to just have our picnic, but we ruined it.” Midnight added.

“I forgive you guys. But why did you challenge those stallions in the first place?” she asked.

“When we saw those two flirting with you... we just... felt... icky inside.” Mykan said.

“Icky?”

“Yeah. Like we just couldn’t stand them looking at you.”

“But why?”

“That’s the thing... we don’t know.” A moment of silence passed. “Anyway.... how about we have that picnic we planned?” Midnight asked, holding the basket. Jewel smiled and sat up on the couch.

Knowing, she couldn’t handle hard food for sometime, Mykan and Midnight just gave her some soup. “Thanks guys.” Jewel said. The three friends just ate their picnic. Unaware that the other had followed Mykan and Midnight to the library and were now watching through windows.

They were smiling proudly at their friends for making things up to Jewel.

In our next episode; the ponies study Jewel’s magic even further and discover something shocking about her heritage that nobody expected.

What’s the shocking revolution?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic...

“A New Species”

Episode 20: A New Species

Two days passed and still no sign of Sombra, Chrysalis or their forced, which baffiled everyone, but they were grateful.

Now they could focus and analyzing Jewel’s magic more. With her Animal, Unicorn and Valkyrie magic, Jewel was incredibly powerful.

Now everybody, including Cadence, Shining Armor, Mykan and Midnight were in the throne room discussing the matter at hand. Lightning’s friends used their magic to show previous battles where Jewel transformed and finished the battle, specifically her battle with Tirek.

“That’ll be all.” Grand Ruler said. Lightning’s friends stopped showing the images. “It is obvious that Jewel has grown into a powerful alicorn.”

“I agree, she may be more powerful than you sister and brother-in-law.” Luna agreed.

“She grown a lot these past months.” Lightning said, with pride.

“Now she can change into animals, summon animal spirits, has Valkyrie magic, what else can her magic do?” Rainbow asked.

Before anyone could answer, they heard some singing coming from the hallway. The peeked into the hallway and saw Jewel singing a song.

https://m.

As she was singing, a pink stream of magic came out of her and hit the floor, which turned into a grass patch with flowers in it.

When she was done singing, the grass patch disappeared. Jewel then walked down the hall, the ponies went back into the room and Jewel passed the room and went around the corner.

All the ponies were amazed. “Galloping Galaxies!” Lightning whispered.

“Incredible.” Grand Ruler added.

“Just how many kinds of magic does this mare have!” Rainbow cried. “First, Alicorn, then Animal and now Singing? What’s next?!”

“I may have something to do with the type of pony Jewel is.” Luna said. “The question is what kind of pony is she?”

“Only one way to find out.” Lightning said. “To the royal library!” Soon, the two teams, their majesties, Spike and Krysta were reading through every single book in the library, trying to find something that could tell them what kind of pony Jewel is.

After about six hours,

“Find anything?” Lightning called.

Fluttershy... “Nope.”

Rainbow... “I got nothing.”

Mykan... “Nada.”

Dyno... “Nothing over here either.”

Myte... “Si, nothing.”

Pinkie.... “I haven’t found squat!”

Rarity.... “Sadly, I’ve found nothing either.”

This only made Lightning a little frustrated. “This doesn’t make any sense.” Lightning said.

“All of the books I found only mentioned Equestria and Space ponies.” Buddy said. “Nothing at all connects to the kind of magic Jewel has.”

“There should be something in here.” Starla said. “Hey, where are their majesties?” Everybody looked around but strangely didn’t see their majesties anywhere. “Queen Celestia! Grand Ruler! Princess Luna!” Pinkie called.

“Guys over here!” Spike called. They followed him to one corner of the library where they found their majesties looking at and really old looking book; the cover was extremely dustily and the pages were brown, meaning, they were old.

“Your majesties, did you find anything?” Starla asked. Celestia turned towards the ponies. “Indeed we have. Take a look.”

Their majesties places the book on a table so everyone could see. “According to this book, Jewel seems to be an Animal Pony.”

“Animal Pony?” Everybody asked.

“Yes. Listen.

”Animal Ponies are a extremely rare ponies who have magic that allows them to change into various animals

“Like she did during our battles!” Lightning stated.

have the power to remove evil from any living creature

“Like she didn’t with the morglea.” Artie added.

and their singing can make plants grow.”

“So if Jewel’s an Animal Pony, where are her biological parents?”

“I’m afraid that’s the next thing this book explains.” Celestia said.

Grand Ruler read on. ”Though these ponies were plentiful a thousand years ago, they were sadly hunted for their vast magic abilities making them extremely rare to find.”

“So this means what exactly?” Rainbow asked.

“It means that Jewel’s race was hunted to near extinction.” Rarity said.

“That’s Just sick!” Mykan and Midnight said. Cadence and Shining Armor agreed.

“If they were then how is she alive?” Rainbow asked.

“Her parents must have avoid getting killed and had her.” Midnight said.

“Then why was she raised by wolves?” Dyno asked.

“Maybe her parents were forced to abandon her so they could survive.” Myte theorized. Everybody thought about hat thought and agreed. “So Jewels parents gave her to a wolf pack to avoid getting killed like the rest of the kind.” Mykan stated.

“Well that’s the only thing that make sense.” Shining Armor added.

“Poor darling.” Rarity said. “She never get to know her real parents.” Applejack put a hand on her shoulder. “Don’t worry sugarcube. She’s got us as her family now.”

“Applejack is correct and as her family we need to be there for her and protect her.” Luna said.

Everybody vowed to do just that. “So what now?” Lightning asked.

“Right now, Jewel needs training with her singing magic.” Grand Ruler statedz

“How are going to do that?” Mykan asked.

“Well there will be a singing competition at the New Canterloy theater. Maybe Jewel can enter.” Midnight suggested.

“That might work but we have to ask her first.” Luna said.

“I’ll go.” Mykan said. Dashing out of the library, Mykan found Jewel and asked her if she wanted to join the dining competition. When he came back to the others he said. “She’ll enter!”

Everybody cheered. “I wonder what song she’s going to sing?” Pinkie asked.

“That’s not important right now, Pinkie. What is important is that we find out just how powerful Jewel’s singing magic is.” Lightning said.

“How are we going do that?” Mykan asked. Lightning smiled as he already though of the one pony who could help them with that.

That night, the singing competition wasn’t under way. Lightning and all of his friends were sitting front row. There were many singers and unfortunately Sizzle was one of them. She wanted to revenge in Jewel for outshining her the last time. The ponies were that Jewel would beat her... again. After two hours, the only two competitors left were Jewel and Sizzle.

“You’re going down.” Sizzle said. Jewel don’t reply. Sizzle got up on stage and sang her song.

After she was done, it was Jewel’s turn. She got up on stage and sang her song about harmony and unity.

https://m.

Everything was so simple
It all started in the big apple
Now we’re all over the globe
And were just flying high
No matter the destination
Have fun it’s a celebration
Everybody raise your hands to the sky

As she sang her horn began to glow and fields of flowers appeared on stage, amazing the crowd.

Starla leaned towards her husband. “Now Lightning.” She whispered. “Already doing it.”

Oh oh oh oh oh
Raise the sun and moon in New Canterlot
Oh oh oh oh
Shake your tail to rhythm of Mount Aris
Oh oh oh oh oh
Listen to the melodies of dragons
Wanna bang of the drums of New Ponyville
Yeah

Suddenly she turned into a falcon and spread over the crowd, singing the chorus while looking down at all the creatures United Equestria has.

I see stars all around the world
Feels like home everywhere I go
I hear music everywhere
And there’s one thing that I know
We’re one Pack, One Voice, One World
And we’re singing in harmony
We’re One Pack, One Voice, One World
And we’re singing in harmony.

When she finished she landed on stage and turned back into her normal self and the fields of flowers disappeared as well. The crowd roared with applause and cheering for such an amazing performance.

“And the winter of the New Canterlot Singing Competition is..... Jewel Crystal!” The crowd cheered and clapped for Jewel as the host gave Jewel a Golden first place trophy. Sizzle, meanwhile, stormed off in a huff. Jewel’s friends came on stage to congratulate her.

“That was awesome Jewel!” Mykan exclaimed.

“Super cool!” Lightning added.

“THE BEST THING EVER!” Pinkie yelled with a huge smile. Jewel blushed that’s when their majesties came up on stage at that moment.

“Outstanding performance Jewel.” Grand Ruler stated. “Indeed. That song showed truly harmony and friendship.” Celestia added.

Jewel smiled proudly. “Thank you.” she thanked.

“How didn’t you come up with such lyrics?” Buddy asked.

“Fluttershy helped me with the lyrics and the music.” Jewel replied. Fluttershy blushed. “Now come on, let’s taje your prize home.” Mykan said.

Mykan and Midnight took Jewel home and she’s fell asleep on the couch. They went back to New Canterlot Palace. “What did you get Lightning?” Mykan asked.

“Based on the Singing analyzer Professor Brain made, her singing magic works in the same way as her Valkyrie magic. Except when her singing can be used as a shield during battle.” Lightning stated.

The ponies were amazed by this. “Woah. Looks like we have a lot more training to do with her.” Mykan stated.

“Yeah. These Animalcorns are truly amazing.” Midnight added. “Who knows what else Jewel can do?”

Everybody agreed and wonder what else to their unicorn can do.

In our next episode; It’s Nightmare Night and Jewel and the royal twins will going on a journey that will change a pony’s life forever. But when the ponies catch on, can they find their friends before something happens?

“Legend Of Everfree Cave”

Episode 22: Emotions and Effects

Mykan found himself in a bright void with stars all around. “Woah... where am I?”

He called out to somebody but nobody answered back. Then in front of him a figure appeared in a light blue glow. Mykan immediately recognized it. “Michelle?!”

“Hello Mykan.”

“What are you doing here?”

“I sense that you still carry a heavy burden about me.” Mykan knew she was talking about how heartbroken he was when she was killed. “You need to find someone who you can share your life with once more.”

Mykan sighed sadly. “But how?”

Michelle smiled. “I believe you’ve already found one. I believe her name was.... Jewel Crystal.” Hearing that made Mykan surprised. “Jewel!”

Michelle nodded. “B-But she’s my friend!”

“A Friend who cares for you deeply.” Michelle added. Mykan was totally confused. “How will I know she’s the one for me?”

“Sometimes, it takes a special moment for the spark to be revealed.” Michelle replied. “I must go now, Mykan. Remember what I said.” In a bright flash Michelle vanished and the void began to waver...

Mykan woke up in a shock. He breathed in heavily and he looked out his bedroom window. ”Could Jewel be the one for me?” he thought.

That morning Mykan was with Ms. Cheerilee, teaching the class. “And now students, Mykan has brought us a special guest for today.” Ms. Cheerilee stated.

“A guest!” Applebloom said.

“Who is it?” Scootaloo asked.

“Easy girls.” Mykan said. “Now with further ado, I would like to welcome Major Jewel Crystal.”

Jewel came in with her three pokémon by her side. “Hi everyone.” Jewel greeted.

“Hi Major Jewel Crystal.” the class replied.

“Do any of you have questions for Jewel?” Mykan asked the class. The CMC’s raised their hands. “Yes girls?”

Applebloom spoke first. “What are the three creatures beside you?”

“They are my pokémon; Mareep, Rockruff and Silvally.”

Sweetie Belle spoke next. “Can I pet Mareep?”

“Sure.” Sweetie got up from her seat and walked over to Mareep who smiled at her. Sweetie rubbed her hand across Mareep’s wool. Mareep cried happily and Sweetie smiled.

Jewel looked towards DD and said. “DD, I think Rockruff wants your attention.”

“Huh?” DD looked down and saw Rockruff at her side with it’s tail wagging. “Awww.” DD picked up Rockruff and she licked her face.

“Jewel, can I pet Silvally?” Scootaloo asked. Jewel nodded and Scootaloo walked up to Silvally. Silvally lowered it head, inviting he to pet him. Scootaloo rubbed her hand on its neck and he smiled. “Alright girls, go take your seats.” Cheerilee stated. The girls obeyed and went to their seats.

“Now Jewel, Mykan has told me that you’re a good singer.” Cheerilee said. “Wanna song for the class?”

“Please.” the class pleaded. Jewel giggled and replied. “Okay.”

Jewel took a deep breath and sang a song

While she wa singing she got Mykan and Cheerlie to join in, much to the children’s liking and soon all of the class were singing the song.

When it ended, everybody shared a good laugh about it.

After school ended, Mykan and Jewel were walking through the park together. “Nice song, Jewel.” Mykan commented.

Jewel smiled. “Thank you. You’re not a bad singer.”

Mykan pretended to be insulted. “Well, I may not had singing lesson on my planet, but still.” he stuttered. He and Jewel laughed.

Jewel then placed her head in Mykan’s shoulder, much to his surprise. Jewel sighed as she looked at the sun in the sky and Mykan did the same. “Beautiful isn’t it?” Jewel asked.

“Yeah.” Mykan replied. Jewel looked at Mykan and Mykan looked at Jewel. They stayed like that for a moment. Then Mykan suddenly snapped back to his senses. “Ummm... hehe.” He smiled nervously at Jewel who was just smiling.

“So where should we go now?” Jewel asked.

“How about your home.” Mykan suggested. Jewel agreed but as they began walking. “ROOOAAAARRR!”

A large monster came out of the brush. It was a chimera with the faces of a lion, snake and goat. It was the size of The Golden Oak Library. The chimera layed its eyes on Jewel and charged towards her and Mykan. “Lookout!” Jewel pushed Mykan out of the way but she did it have time to save herself. The chimera grabbed Jewel with is giant paw and ran off with her. “JEWEL!” Mykan cried as her saw the chimera disappear into the trees.

“Mykan!” He turned skeins and saw Lightning, Starla, and their friends running towards him. “Mykan, What happened?” Starla asked. “And where’s Jewel?”

Mykan explained everything that happened and the gang was shock and outraged. “Sombra and Chysalis must have sent it.” Lightning said.

“We’ve got get her back!” Pinkie cried.

“And we will let’s go!” Starla replied. “Mykan show is where it took Jewel.” Mykan nodded and lead the gang through the trees. ”Hang on Jewel, we’re coming.”

The chimera has taken Jewel to the Flame Geysers; a large area covered with geysers that shoot out fire. It brought her before Swift and he placed Jewel in a cage. “Let me go!” Jewel demanded.

Swift laughed. “Not a chance.”

“Why did you bring me here?”

“So I could force you tell me something.”

Jewel’s eyes narrowed. “Tell you what?”

“Tell me all of Starfleet’s secrets. NOW!” Swift yelled. Jewel gasped in shock. She knew that if Swift gets a hold on Starfleet’s secrets, he and the others will not doubt use them against her and the gang. “Never!” she cried. “You’ll never know.”

“Fine then, I’ll just have to convince you too.” He began pushing the cage directly over one of the flame geysers. The geysers was glowing red, meaning it going to go off soon.

“Tell me the secrets, or your cooked.” He threatened. Jewel still refused. Then the cage began shaking and the glowing became more instense. Jewel gulped nervously. “Guys where are you?” she whispered.

“JEWEL!” Swift and the chimaera turned and saw Lightning and the gang and Mykan with his sword drawn. “Guys! Help!” Jewel cried.

“Don’t worry Jewel, we’re coming.” Mykan cried. Swift sneered. “You won’t have time to save her, once the geyser turns her in a shish cubob.”

The cage was really shaking now. “HEEELLLP!”

“Let’s go!” Lightning and his team felt wit the chimera while Mykan rushed towards Jewel. When he was feet away from her, Swift blocked his way. “You’re noun gettibg in my way again, insolent human.” Swift barged Mykan. He blocked him with his shield and bashed him with it. Swift went flying over the geyser and landed hard on the ground. Mykan quickly grabbed Jewel’s cage. “You okay?” he asked.

“I’m okay.” Jewel replied. Mykan smiled.

Meanwhile, the ponies easily defeated the chimera and use their finishers to turn it back into a normal cat, which ran off into the forest. Swift got up and growled in defeat then teleported away.

“Come on, let’s get you home.” Mykan said.

Soon, Mykan and Jewel were at The Golden Oak Library. “Thanks forsvaung me.” Jewel praised.

“No problem. I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.” Jewel blushed at Mykan’s words. She giggled and hugged Mykan, wrapping her arms around her stomach. Mykan returned the favor. They stayed like that unaware that their friends were watching from the window. “Awww, they cute.” Rainbow said.

“Leave them alone, Rainbow.” Rarity stated. The ponies all shared a laugh as they watched the their friends share a romantic moment.

In our next episode; Jewel faces her biggest challenge when Sombra and Chysalis strike. Worse of all, they’ve stolen her friends magic.

Can Jewel overcome this?

“Part 1: Jewel’s Purpose”

Episode 23: Part 1: Jewel’s Purpose

It was morning in United Equestria. Everybody 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 what new power she'll unlock." 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 has come so far in the months she’s been on Starfleet but still, 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 my changeling friends. Everybody I know has a purpose....except me." Jewel turned back around and walked to the railing, then she began to sing;

(Like this)

https://m.

(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. “You’re time will come.” she said to her. Jewel smiled at her.

Just then, a cage came over Jewel. “Wah!” The cgae began floating up into the sky and glowing. “Jewel!” their majesties cried.

“Help me!” Jewel cried out as the cage vanished. A note then floated down in front of their majesties. Grand Ruler picked it up and read it. “We must get the others.”

His wife and sister-in-law agreed and they went off to gathered the teams.

Jewel woke up in a dark cell to find herselves chaibed to a wall by her wrists and ankles by powerful , dark magic manacles. “Where am l?”

“You aboard our ship.” Jewel looked at the front of her cell and saw Sombra and Chrysalis’s minions. “W-What do you want with me?” Jewel asked in fear.

“Well at first we wanted your magic, but our masters figured out a way to get your friends magic all for themselves!” Swift replied.

Jewel gasped. “Some of my friends are immune to magic absorption.”

“That won’t be a problem for eh dark orb.” Carla said. “Now well finally get the power and respect we derserve.”

“Respect?” Jewel added. “Don’t you’re masters respect you?”

“Well if you call yelling at to do their bidding and suffering horribly for failing respect, then yes.” Bron explained.

“That’s not respect!” Jewel cried. “Respect is when you treat others with kindness and help themleaen from their mistakes.”

“How would you know?!” Swift asked angerily.

“Because my friends helped me learn it. And if you want, I can be you’re friend too?” Jewel offered. The minions thought about this. “Sombra and Chrysalis dont care about you three, they’re just using to get the power so they can get rid of you three in the end.” Jewel added. “Do you really want that to happen?”

Meanwhile back at the palace, their majesties have called the teams together and they discussed the note Sombra sent them when Jewel was taken.

If you eve want to see your little unicorn again, give me your magic!

Sombra

“Thank snake!” Lighting cried.

“What are gonna do?” Applejack asked.

“I r can’t give him our magic.”

“But if we don’t, Jewel’s done for!” Pinkie added.

“I believe I may have a plan.” Celestia replied. Everybody turned to their Queen. “What is it, your majesty?”

Everybody huddled together as she’s explained the plan. They were going to trick Sombra and Chrysalis into thinking they’ve given up thwir magic and then they’ll grab Jewel and defeat the two.

“Excellent!” Luna said.

“Well the Let’s get started.” Lightning said.

“Let us hope that Jewel is unharmed.” Grand Ruler added. Everybody hoped that their special buddy was okay.

The minions continued thinking. “... No, we’ll give this ‘friendship’ thing a try.” Swift said. Jewel smiled.

Just then, they all began glowing and disappeared in a flash. They repaired in New Canterlot Village. All the ponies were evacuated only leaving Lightning, his team, the friendship ponies, Spike, Krysta and their majesties.

“Guys!” Jewel cried happily.

“So have we reached an agreement?” Sombra asked.

Let her go Sombra!” Lighting demanded. “We are not giving you out magic.”

“Fine then. Guess we’ll have to do that this the hard away.” Sombra and Chrysalis snapped their fingers and the He dark or blue appears. It sends out a wave of dark magic and it hits the gang they feel their magic being taken away. “No! Guys!” Jewel cried.

When it was done, they all fell to the ground, their eyes rumored with gray asmnd they all felt extremely weak.

“HAHAHAHA!” Sombra laughed as the dark orb gave him and Chysalis the magic they’ve stolen. “Time to finished you.”

“No!” the minions sudddenly jumped in and grabbed the gang and Jewel and they sipped off to the royal palace. “Traitors!” Sombra cried.

Once at the palace, the minions freed Jewel. “Now what?” Jewel asked.

“There is only one pony who defeat them now.” Grand Ruler said. “And that pony is you Jewel.”

Jewel gasped in shock.

In our next episode; Jewel prepares to face the most important battle of her lied and she gets some help from some of her reformed friends.

Can they save them kingdom from the evil duo?

Find out in the next episode of Starfleet Magic....

“Jewel’s Ultimate Challenge”

Episode 24: Part 2: Jewel Ultimate Challenge

“M-Me?” Jewel cried. “I-I can't battle them!”

“Sure you can.” Rainbow stated. “You beat their butts the last time.”

“But they were just puppets, not the real thing.”

That’s when Pyrax, Pharynx, Crystal, Silver and Pyrite came into the throne room. “Don’t worry, Jewel.” Pyrax said. “We’ll help you.”

“You bet!” Crystal added. Jewel smiled at her changeling friends. “How sweet.” Jewel gasped in horror and she whirled around and saw Sombra and Chrysalis standing in the doorway, glowing with the magic they’ve stolen from the ponies. “But it won’t save you.” Sombra sneered.

Sombra fired a pulse at the fallen fighters. “No!” Jewel leaped in front of her friends and fired her own pulse of magic. The two collided in a explosion. Chrysalis snickered and rushed towards Jewel. Jewel and Chrysalis began engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Punching and kicking each other repeatedly. They seemed to be even. “You’re quite the challenge.” Chrysalis sneered. “But you’re no match for me.” she blasted Jewel, sending her crashing into Celestia’s throne.

Jewel quickly got up and was about to charge when, “Jewel! Get out of here!” Lightning cried. Jewel turned to him in disbelief. “What?!”

“They’re too strong for you alone. You have leave and think of another plan of attack.” Lightning explained. He turned to the five changelings. “Pyrax, Pharynx, Crystal, Silver and Pyrite, take Jewel and get her someplace safe.”

“But what about you guys?” Pyrite asked.

“We will be alright.” Luna replied. “Just get Jewel to safety.” Pyrite nodded. All five changelings turned into dragons. Pyrite flew and grabbed Jewel in her claws and the six of them flew out the window towards the New Everfree Forest. “Hahahaha. Shouldn’t have sent them away so quickly.” Sombra said as he and Chrysalis approached the fallen fighters.

Meanwhile, the changelings landed and turned back into their changeling selves. Jewel sighed and looked really sad, she looked back towards the mountains. “Guys”

The changelings could sense her sadness. “Don’t worry Jewel, you can save them.” Crystal reassured.

“How?” Jewel asked. “They have all my friends, including their majesties magic. I can’t match that!”

“Sure you can.” Pharynx replied. “You have your awesome animal and Valkyrie magic.”

“But that’s not enough.” Jewel sighed. “It’s hopeless.” The changelings could not think of anything else to cheer their teacher and friend up. Suddenly, Jewel’s chest began glowing and a familiar necklace appeared. “My Element? What’s this doing here?”

The element magically detached itself from Jewel’s neck and began floating towards the cave where the Tree of Harmony layed. Jewel and the changelings followed it. They reached the tree and saw a familiar spirit standing near it. “Twilight?”

Twilight ruined and smiled at Jewel. “Jewel, I've been expecting you.”

“What’s going on?” Jewel asked.

“You are about to unlock a hidden power within you Valkyrie magic.”

“A hidden power?” Crystal repeated. Twilight nodded. “In fact all of you will unlock the power.”

“Us?” Pyrax stated.

“What did we do?” Pyrite asked.

“Since you’ve became Jewel’s students you’ve shown the reflections of my friends Elements of Harmony.

Pharynx, you’ve unlocked the Element of Sorcery.

Pyrite, Element of Healing.

Crystal, Element of Beauty.

Pyrax, Element of Strength.

And Silver, Element of Bravery

And finally, Jewel, Element of Hope.”

As she spoke the changelings got their own necklaces like Jewel’s and they had a similar style to the mane five and Queen Celestia’s element symbols (except, Jewel’s element symbol was a gold dove).

“With these you can unlock the Rainbow Power.” Twilight said. “Use it to save your friends and the kingdom.” The six friends nodded and with that Twilight disappeared in the bright flash and they found themselves back at the royal palace.

“Awesome.” Pharynx stated.

“Yeah. Well you heard Twilight, let’s save our friends and the kingdom. Together!” Jewel said.

“Together!” the changelings repeated.

In the throne room, Sombra and Chrysalis were sitting in Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler's thrones, laughing at the powerless ponies. Chrysalis brought her changeling army into the throne room as well. Already they've taken the magic from all of the Equestrian and Space ponies. Now they've trapped the gang in cocoons and had them hanging from the ceiling.

"You will not prevail, Sombra and Chrysalis." Celestia declared.

"We've already have, we've taken all the magic from your world and there's no pony that can stop us!" Chrysalis sneered.

"How about five changelings and a unicorn!” a voice said.

“What?” Sombra and Chrysalis looked and saw the changelings and Jewel transformed. “So the traitors return.” Chrysalis sneered, referring to the five changelings. “Let our friends go now!” Pharynx demanded.

Sombra and Chrysalis laughed. “Not a chance. Well finally get to rule this miserable planet for ourselves!” Sombra cried.

“Not if we have anything to say about it. Ready guys?” Jewel asked.

“Ready!” the changelings replied. They all concentrated and made their respective element glow brightly and they all called out.

“FRIENDSHIP HOUR, RAINBOW POWER!”

They were coated in magical streets of magic that represented the elements of harmony and they changed.

Jewel’s mane and tail grew long and glowing like Queen Celestia’s and her body gain dove markings on her hands and super suit.

The changelings metamorphosed. Their legs were no longer rained with holes and their bodies completely changed. Now they were a little taller and they had a horn that matched their different body color (except Pharynx). They all had butterfly like wings.

Pharynx; yellow with blue wings and orange mandibles protruding from his head.

Crystal; green with pink wings.

Pyrite; white with yellow wings.

Silver; dark green with red wings.

And Pyrex; blue with light purple wings.

The ponies just stared at them in amazement. Sombra and Chrysalis were far from amused.

The five changelings fires at the pods. They exploded and the ponies and the minions were set free. Jewel raced over to her friends. “Are you okay?” she asked.

Lightning and the gang stood up. “Yeah, we're okay.”

“Awesome, colors Jewel!” Rainbow said.

“And the changelings changed as well. Cool!” Buddy added.

“Thanks.” Pharynx prissed. “Now Jewel, it’s time to finish what you started.” The changelings used their own magic to levitate their elements to Jewel. They swirled around her creating a large ball of magic. She reached her hand out and her Animal Staff came and she grabbed it tightly.

“Got get em!” Rainbow cried.

“Clear out guys!” she called. “This is gonna get ugly.” They all heard their wanting and rushed out of the palace and into the New Canterlot Village.

“Will she be okay?” Fluttershy asked.

“I’m sure she will be. We just have to hope it’s true.” Grand Ruler stated.

Back at the palace, Sombra and Chrysalis roared and charged Jewel at full speed. Jewel leaped over them, pointed her staff at them and cried out, "DRAGON FLAME!!" A pink dragon spirit came out of her staff and blasted Sombra and Chrysalis, sending them crashing to the ground.

The duo got back you,"DARKNESS BLAST"

"BUFFALO CHARGE" Jewel charged head on into the beam of dark magic. She bypassed it and rammed Sombra and Chrysalis, sending them into one of the pillars. It loosened some of the rocks from the ceiling.

Sombra and Chrysalis through the massive boulders at Jewel. She sliced through them with her staff.

The duo were outraged! They blasted a beam of dark magic at Jewel, but she skillfully used her staff and deflected the beam back at the duo. Jewel and charged the duo, roaring like a true warrior.. Sombra and Chrysalis did the same thing.

The three engaged in full on fist fight; kicking and punching each other viciously. Jewel finally punched them in the stomach sending them into the floor.

Jewel landed flat on the ground looking badly beaten; her face was bruised, her mane was badly disheveled, she was breathing heavily, her suit was dented in some spots and had scorch marks. It only had a little power left from such a hard battle. The magic of as still in effect. Sombra and Chrysalis looked no better.

They all struggled to their feet. "TIME TO END THIS.!!!!" Sombra and Chrysalis roared, coating themselves in all the magic they've stolen, including the uniforce, they charged Jewel like warriors. Jewel coated herself in all the magic from her elements, staff and the little power left in her suit. “HARMONIC CONVERGENCE!” She roared and charged the duo. Like two comets the three collided causing a huge, deadly explosion; destroying about half the palace!

The explosion sent out a magical wave that restored the ponies magic. Also, they and the changelings felt the large tremor from village. “What was that?” Lightning cried.

“Look!” Pharynx said, pointing at the palace on the distance. Everybody turned and saw large amounts of sample coming from it. They all stood in utter shock.

"Galloping Galaxies!" Lightning cried.

"Jewel!" Starla cried. The ponies rocked towards the scene as well the changelings. They got there and they didn’t see any sign of Jewel. The throne room was completely destroyed and in ruins as well the rest of the palace. “Galloping Galaxies!” Lightning cried. “The place is a wreck.”

“I don’t see any sign of Jewel.” Pharynx replied. All the ponies were really worried about what happened to their special friend.

Jewel woke up with a headache. “Woah… where am I?” she groaned. Standing up, she found herself in a light blue void filled with stars. “What is this place?”

Suddenly, a figure began to appear in front of her. “Congratulations, Jewel.” it said. “I knew you could do it.” Jewel walked up to the figure and hugged it. “Twilight? I don’t understand.” Jewel replied. “What did I do?”

“You saved your kingdom, using the Magic of Friendship in a really extraordinary way.” Twilight explained. “Something that even Lightning Dawn, Grand Ruler or Queen Celestia were not able to do.” She walked behind Jewel as she continued talking. “The lessons you’ve learned in New Ponyville have taught you well. You’ve proven that you’re ready Jewel.”

“Ready?” Jewel repeated. “Ready for what?” They began walking down a star path with images of all she’s done in the past; from first meeting her friends to meeting her changeling friends. As they walked Twilight began singing a song.

https://m.

You've come such a long, long way
And I've watched you from that very first day
To see how you might grow
To see what you might do
To see what you've been through
And all the ways you've made me proud of you
It's time now for a new change to come
You've grown up and your new life has begun
To go where you will go
To see what you will see
To find what you will be
For it's time for you to fulfill your destiny

When she finished singing, a small ball of magic appeared in front of Jewel and it circled around her while her back was glowing. She was lifted up into the air and consumed by the magic.

BOOM! The large pink star appeared above New Canterlot and her friends saw it. It floated down in front of the gang and created a large amount of light so they covered their eyes. They could see a familiar figure in the middle of it. “Jewel. Is that you?” Applejack asked.

Jewel stood up and shimmered, revealing her new pink royal cape and her new pink wings with aquamarine shading. Everybody gasped in extremely shock.

Applejack approached her while Jewel looked at her own wings. “I-I never seen anything like it.”

“Ha! Jewel’s got wings. Awesome!” Rainbow cried. She hugged Jewel. “A new flying buddy.”

Rarity approached her. “Why you’ve become and alicorn.” she added. “I haven’t seen this since Twilight.”

Pinkie cried out. “ALICORN PARTY!”

Fluttershy stood beside her. “Wow, you look just like a princess.”

Just then, the spirits of Twilight, Fratello and Amando appeared. “That’s because she is a princess.” Twilight replied.

“Huh?” Everybody said. Jewel easily was the most surprised by what Twilight said. “I-I’m a princess?”

Twilight walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Since you’ve came to United Equestria, you’ve spread the Magic of Friendship all over United Equestria, something that I was trying to do. You’ve shown that you know alot about friendship which is why…. I dub you, Jewel Crystal as the new Princess of Friendship.”

Everybody cheered and rejoiced for their new Princess. Lightning was the most proud of her. “So what do I do now?” Jewel asked. “Is there a book about being a Princess I should read?” Twilight giggled. “Trust me there isn’t.” she said. “But you have some royal teachers that can help you.” Jewel turned to the five royal ponies. Grand Ruler smiled. “Don’t worry, we’ll help you.” Jewel smiled at her family.

Just then, Jewel’s flank began to glow brightly. The mane five looked at it and when it stopped glowing they all gasped in disbelief. “What?” Queen Celestia asked.

“Jewel… she-she got a-a-a-” Rarity stuttered

“A what?” Grand Ruler questioned.

“JEWEL GOT A CUTIE MARK!!” Pinkie cried The space ponies looked as Jewel pulled down her pants side, revealing a purple star with a white dove in the center and circling the star were the small symbols of the mane five’s and Queen Celestia’s elements of harmony. “Impossible.” Grand Ruler whispered.

“Yeah!” Jewel cried. She began bouncing around their majesties saying. “I have a cutie mark! I have a cutie mark!” their majesties chuckled at her giddiness. Jewel stopped jumping around and just smiled.

Suddenly, Jewel’s Element of Hope glowed brightly and sent a large beam at the Golden Oak Library.

The tree-castle bears some resemblance to the library, however, is many times larger and appears to have a multi-level castle in its branches, which includes a great balcony, two spires, and a tower. The structure has at least one banner flying on the side marked with and the top bears a large crystal star.

Two sets of five strings of beads hang off the side of the structure much like the white beads that hang off the Tree of Harmony. At the foot is a great golden stair for the two-leaved golden door into the tree's body. Two open lancet windows flank the door.

The lobby's two stairs lead into the castle rooms where lancet two-toned green glass windows and crystalline lathed columns with scrolled tops line the hall decked by a brown rug with scrollwork.

“Galloping Galaxies!” Lightning cried. “The library changed into a castle!” Everybody, including their majesties added their own compliments. “Wanna take a peak?” Twilight asked.

Everybody immediately rushed into the castle. There was a large library, almost as large as the one in New Canterlot. At its end is a golden-framed green glass fanlight door to the throne room that have a crystalline throne about a star-shaped dais on a golden dish on a violet rug with scrollwork. Even with its door are a set of green glass spire lights. “It’s gorgeous!” Rarity cried.

“Indeed.” their majesties added.
Rainbow elbowed Jewel playfully. “Looks like somebody has a new home.” Jewel smiled. Now she’s a princess, has a cutie mark and a new castle. Now all that’s left is her royal coronation.

In our next episode; Jewel’s Coronation is underway, but their majesties don’t think Jewel’s ready yet.

Can the ponies calm their nerves?

“Coronation Time”

Episode 25: Final Part: Coronation Time

The very next day, ponied were planning for Jewel's Princess Coronation. Lightning, his friends and the mane five were in the throne room with their majesties who looked a little concerned. "Your majesties, is something wrong?" Starla asked.

"Nothing's wrong. Why do you ask?" Grand Ruler asked.

"You two are looking really nervous." Lightning replied. Their majesties sighed and Queen Celestia said. "Alright. We are worried about Jewel becoming a princess." The ponies were confused, "Worried? Why?" Artie asked.

"It's just....it's a big responsibility and we've haven't had time to prepare her." Celestia added.

“Jewel prepared herself, making friends with the enemies and spreading friendship all over our kingdom.” Lightning said.

"She'll be fine. Jewel already shown the qualities of becoming a princess." Rainbow replied.

"*Sigh* but still." Their majesties said together.

"Don't worry, your majesties. We'll all help Jewel when she needs it. Now come on we have a coronation to prepare for." Applejack said.

Everybody agreed and exited the throne room. Music began to play and all the ponies began singing.

Now that the decorations were finished it was time for the coronation.

Jewel's coronation was held in the royal throne room of New Canterlot. Ponies, Griffins, Dragons, and a lot of other creatures came to see it, including her changeling friends and Twinkle Spark and her family.

Grand Ruler started. "We are gathered here today, to celebrate a momentous occasion. Our adoptive daughter, Jewel, has done many extraordinary things since she's lived in United Equestria. She helped us see that not all villains are bad, they just need some friendship to set them on the right path.”

Celestia added. “Through she's been on the force for a months she has risen higher than anypony could have. But today Jewel has done something extraordinary. She defeated King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis by herself using the magic of friendship and revealing that she and her reformed changeling friends are Elements of Harmony as well."

The crowd gasped in awe and wonder.

Luna finished. "Which proves without a doubt that she is ready to be crowned United Equestria's newest princess. Fillies, Gentlecolts and animals of all shapes and sizes. My I present for the very first time, Princess Jewel, the Princess of Harmony."

The doors to the throne room opened and Jewel walked in wearing a white dress with purple and pink stripes. Her mane was put into a ponytail with a bow on the end. Jewel stopped at their majesties and Spike steeped up with Jewel's crown. Queen Celestia used her magic to place the crown on Jewel's head. The crowd cheered loudly for their new princess.

"Anything you'd like to say, Princess?" Princess Luna asked.

Jewel cleared her throat and spoke, "All I want to say is thank you. Thank you all for believing in me. Especially my friends, I wouldn't be standing here if it wasn't for the friendships I made with all of you.” she said as she gestured her friends to come out. They all did and they started shedding some tears as Jewel continued. “Each one of you taught me something about friendship and for that I will always be grateful. I promise that this new responsibility of mine will not go to. Thank you friends, Thank you everybody."

The crowd cheered loudly, loving her attitude.

Jewel met up with her friends, "Way'd a go Princess!" Applejack said.

"BEST CORONATION DAY EVEEEEER...!!!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"We love you, Jewel." Fluttershy stated. All here friends gave her a big group hug. "I love you guys too.

Later, Jewel was being pulled through New Canterlot on a chariot, pulled by two royal guards. Ponies were on the sides of the streets waving at her. Jewel began to sing about how her life is great ever since she came to United Equestria.

https://m.

(Jewel)
Life in United Equestria shimmers

Their majesties watched from the balcony at their new princess and all her friends.

Yes, everything (yes, everything)

Yes, everything is certainly fine

It’s fine

(Jewel): Yes! Everything's gonna be just fine.

Episode 1: The New Unicorn

On the beautiful plant of United Equestria, home of the most powerful fighting force in the dimensional universe, Starfleet. Lead by the powerful Commander Lightning Dawn and his many friends. They gave faced many challenges and enemies together, but nothing could prepare them for what was about to happen.

It all started one blissful day. Lightning Dawn, a white human-like alicorn with a golden horn was walking down the street in his home, New Ponyville with his best friends:

Starla Shine: Lightning’s loving wife, and expert astronomer and astrologist: ID-Code: KY1M

Buddy Rose: an expert gardener, ecologist, and tree surgeon: ID-Code: FT5H.

Artie Bristles: A masterful artist in painting, sculpting, carving, you name it. ID-Code: HV7J

Rhymey: A poet, song writer and café proprietor, who always spoke in rhyme. ID-Code: XL7Z

The Spanish Twins, Dyno and Myte La Guava: Born on the Planet El Mundo, and the sons of a Starfleet General. Brilliant geologists, expert miners, movers, construction team, and explosive experts: ID Codes, IW8K and JX9L.

Also his long-time fairy friend, Krysta. They were walking down the street when they heard a faint moan.

"Did you guys hear that?" Lightning asked.

"Yeah. It sounds like it's coming from that alleyway." Starla answered, "Let's check it out."

The others agreed and followed Starla into the alley. Garbage cans with half eaten food on the sides, dirty and grime were on the floor. The ponies suddenly stopped at a moving cardboard box.

"Shhhhhh." Lightning said. He approached the box and carefully opened the box. He gasped in horror.

"What is it, Lightning?" Buddy asked.

"Take a look." He replied. The others looked and gashed as well; inside the box was a unicorn covered head-to-toe in dirt! She appeared to be unconscious.

"Galloping Galaxies! What happened to her?" Artie asked, horrified.

"I don't know but we better do something fast! She's burning up with a fever!" Lightning stated as he kneeled down and placed a hand on the mare's head.

"Let's get her to the medical wing in the royal palace." Buddy suggested.

"Right. Their majesties will know for sure,
What she needs for a cure." Rhymey agreed.

Lightning picked up the mare in his arms and Starla wrote a letter to their majesties. Soon, the ponies rushed to New Canterlot. The mare was immediately emmited into the sickbay, while the ponies were in the throne room with two very special ponies;

One female in a light golden gown with a white top showing her cutie mark of the sun.

The male was a tall, white male alicorn with a short dark mane with images of space flowing like a picture. He wore jewel-encrusted golden armor with doublets on each side into it, a red cape with gold markings fluttering on his back, even though there was no breeze. He had golden pegasus wings, black boots with golden edges round the feet. Atop his head were three golden horns, all shimmering like the stars.

They were Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler Celestio, the rulers of United Equestria and Co-Commander and Commander of Starfleet.

The ponies all bowed to the two rulers.

“We've received your message Lightning Dawn." Grand Ruler said.

“How is she, your majesties?” Artie asked.

“When you brought her in, her fever was very high. Luckily, we've managed to break it in two hours. She is now recovering." Celestia explained.

"However, it appears she's been in some kind of battle. We've found several injuries on her." Celesto added.

The ponies gasped softly.

"Can we see her?" Starla asked.

"Indeed, follow us." Grand Ruler approved.

The gang follow the pair into the medical wing. Entered the recovery room, they saw a freshly clean pink human-like unicorn with a pink horn. Her mane and tail were aquamarine with a purple streak going on down. Her clothes were in shreds and the hole in the side of her pants showed that she had no cutie mark.

Also, the unicorn was covered in bruises and scratches. Bandages were covering her head, arms, legs and torso. She looked like she'd been through a war!

"Ay' carumba!” Dyno cried.

“Poor chica.” Myte added.

“Will she be okay?” Starla asked.

“I believe that she will make a full recovery.” Grand Ruler replied. Everybody sighed in relief.

Suddenly, the mare began to groan and she opened her eyes and saw other ponies looking at her. "Wh-What happened? Where am I?" The mare asked nervously.

“Don't worry, we won't hurt you, I’m Lightning Dawn,” Lightning introduced, “and these are my friends: Starla Shine, Buddy Rose, Arite Bristles, Rhymey, Dyno and Myte La Guava and the fairy is Krysta. Finally, the rulers of United Equestria, and Commander and Co-Commander of Starfleet, Grand Ruler Celesto along with his wife Queen Celestia."

“Hello”, “Hola”, “Greetings.” Lightning’s friends, Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia replied.

“H-Hi." The mare greeted back.

"Do you have a name, young one?" Queen Celestia asked. The mare nodded

"My name is J-Jewel Crystal, y-your majesty.” she added nervously.

"How old are you, Jewel?" Grand Ruler asked.

"I'm eighteen years old." Jewel replied Jewel looked nervously at the ponies.

"Um, if I may ask, what's Starfleet?" Jewel asked.

"Starfleet is the most powerful fighting force in the dimensional universe, known for fighting off evil and injustice. Lightning Dawn and his friends are part of Starfleet." Grand Ruler explained. "Okay." Jewel replied.

“Jewel, how did you get so injured?” Starla asked.

“Well, all I remember was that I attacked by two figures. They kept blasting me with their magic. I got tossed all over the place." Jewel started.

"So that's how you got covered in all that dirt." Starla stated.

Jewel nodded and continued, "I saw that one was a big humanoid pony with a red horn, dragon wings and bull horns and the other was a bug like alicorn with holes in her legs.” Jewel explained.

The gang was in utter shock and disbelief!

“It cannot be!" Grand Ruler exclaimed.

“I thought we got rid of them!" Starla exclaimed.

“‘Ay' Carumba!” Dyno screamed.

“Not them again!” Myte said.

Jewel looked at them all confused. “What? What's the matter?" Jewel asked.

"Jewel...those two ponies who were chasing you..... were two enemies we believed were gone forever. Their names are King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis." Grand Ruler explained.

“Who are King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis?” Jewel asked.

The Grand Ruler explained everything about King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis's origins to Jewel all the way up to where the ponies destroyed Sombra and imprisoned Chrysalis, but he seems to have returned and Chrysalis broke free from prison somehow.

“They won't come after me again, w-will they?" Jewel asked fearfully.

“No. You are safe here, Jewel,” Buddy declared.

"And we won't let them get you. Friends protect friends." Dyno promised.

"We're..... friends?" Jewel questioned.

"Si," Myte added. Jewel smiled.

“Lightning Dawn, after Jewel has recovered from her injuries, I want you and your friends to show Jewel around New Ponyville, her new home.” Queen Celestia said.

Everybody gasped!

"R-Really?!." Jewel asked

"Of course. You'll be living with Lightning and Starla." Queen Celestia added. Lightning and his friends nodded. Jewel smiled with joy.

“Now onto more pressing matter. We must place wat laws immediately! Who knows what King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis are planning.” Grand Ruler added.

High above United Equestria in their very own spaceship, Chysalis and Sombra were in their throne room. The two of them had gained new powers from finding an all powerful orb within the lair. They named it the dark orb; the orb was black with sparkles inside. It gave Sombra and Chrysalis incomparable strength and speed. Also, Chrysalis managed to create an army powerful new changelings. These changelings were faster, smarter and more agressive than her old subjects.

Finally, they have made three new minions out of the dark orb's magic.

Carla: A female humanoid eagle with wings that had sharp edges on them.

Swift: A male humanoid cheetah with blinding speed and agilty.

And finally, Bron: A male humanoid bull with deadly ramming power and kicking power.

"Together, my minions, we will make Starfleet pay for all the suffering they caused us!" Sombra and Chrysalis announced. Sombra, Chrysalis and their minions laughed maniacally.

"Finally, we will bring Starfleet to their knees!" Chrysalis added.

In our next episode; Lightning and the gang show Jewel around New Ponyville. The tour get interrupted when Swift arrives with a powerful monster. During the battle Jewel starts to show some powerful magic of her own.

Will it be enough to save the day??

Episode 3: Training to Ultimate Test

On bright and beautiful morning, Jewel was with Lightning and the gang at New Canterlot Palace to begin Jewel's magic training. Lightning and Jewel were in the royal throne.

"Now Jewel, to get you familiar with your magic, we'll start you off with simple magic. Ready?" Lighting asked.

Jewel nodded her head and Lightning put three blocks in front of Jewel.

"We'll start off with some levitation. Now concertrate on the blocks and use your magic to lift them into the air." Lightning instructed.

Jewel took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She concentrated and get horn began to glow light pink as well as the blocks and they were lifted into the air. Jewel slowly opened her eyes and gasped softly with excitment.

"Good, now start moving them around." Lightning added.

Jewel concentrated some more and the blocks moved up, down and side to side. Then, she put the blocks back on the floor and cancelled her magic.

"Well done Jewel. Now for teleportation." Lightning told Jewel where to teleport to and Jewel easily disappeared and reappeared in the correct spot. "Good, Now I want you to teleport me in front of the Grand Ruler's royal throne." Lightning instructed.

Jewel's expression changed from calm to nervous.

"Teleport you? Isn't that a bit advanced?" Jewel asked.

"Just try. Remember stay calm and concentrate." Lightning reassured.

Jewel reluctantly nodded and concentrated. Lightning began to glow in her magic arua and Lightning vanished and then reappered in front of the royal throne. "I-I did it!" Jewel said with joy.

"Impressive. Let's try some more." Lightning suggested. Jewel instantly agreed. So for the next two hours, Lightning showed Jewel various spells and Jewel quickly perfected all of them. Lightning was very impressed; Jewel used her magic to create powerful shields and barriers as well as create powerful magical arrows that can injure a pony on impact. Jewel also mastered an invisibility spell, making her vanish from sight.

Next, they did sparring practice in the palace dojo. "Next part is combat training Jewel. This way you'll be able to defend yourself if need be. Now Jewel, I want you to see of you can pin me to the ground." Lightning stated.

"O-Okay Lightning." Jewel replied nervously.

Lightning charged Jewel and she dodged then tried to tackle Lightning, however Lightning swiftly moved out of the way and Jewel fell to the ground. Within seconds Lightning was on top of her.

"Wanna quit?" Lightning taunted.

"Not yet." Jewel suddenly rolled over and pinned Lightning to the ground.

"Nice move." Lightning panted, "Ready to go again?"

"Yep."

Lightning and Jewel continued their sparring; Lightning's punches and kicks were skillfully blocked by Jewel. Jewel mananged to pin Lightning five times! At around late morning, Jewel was tired from sparring session.

"Well look at you." A voice called out. Jewel and Lightning turned and saw Lightning's friends and their majesties stand in the doorway. Jewel immediately felt shy.

"H-How long have you all been standing there?" Jewel asked.

"Long enough to see you catch on quickly. We are all very impressed with your abilites Jewel." Celestia replied. Jewel blushed.

"Hehehe, thank your majesty."

"Now onto the next training phase." Grand Ruler added. Jewel found herself in the New Canterlot Royal Garden in some heavy clothing and in front of a huge sleigh with heavy boulders in it. "Now Jewel, you will need to build up your strength, speed, dexterity and etc. First, we will work on your strength. I want you to pull this sleigh to the other side of the garden." Grand Ruler stated.

Jewel gulped nervously.

"You can do it Jewel!" Dyno encouraged.

"Si chica." Myte added. Jewel took a deep breath and grabbed the rope. She grunted as she pulled with all her strength and managed to pull the sleigh to the other side.

After that, Jewel was tasked with keeping up with their majesties in an obstacle course. She kept up with them with her long, perfect stride. Next, she had to try and take a flag from Grand Ruler and stay in the fight for 20 minutes. She succeed and stayed in for 25 minutes!

After the training was completely, Jewel was taking a break with her friends. Her mane was a little tangled and she was sweating a lot. Lightning gave her some water and Starla gave her a towel to wipe away the sweat.

"You're did great, Jewel!" Buddy praised.

"Excellente chica" Dyno said.

"You were amazing." Myte added.

Jewel smilied at her friends, "Thanks guys."

Their majesties walked up to Jewel with proud smiles on their faces.

"Very good Jewel. Looks like your a fast learner." Grand Ruler said.

"Thank your majesty." Jewel replied.

"Now how about we have some breakfast." Celstia suggested. Everybody humbly agreed. They went into the dining room and the servents brought food for everybody. Jewel had about twenty courses; all that training made her really hungry.

Soon, three months passed and Jewel's strength, speed, magical abilites had increased drastically; now she could teleport over long distances, create powerful barriers, and body became more muscular, enabling her to run faster than a projectile and break boulders with her fists, feet and even her tail. The ponies were all very proud of her.

Now, everybody was enjoying lunch in the dining area.

"Jewel, you've shown great improvement over a short period of time. We are all very proud of you" Celestia commented.

Jewel blushed.

"Yeah, sugarcube, you got this down faster than us when we were training." Applejack commented.

"Indeedy." Pinkie Pie added.

"Hehehe. Thanks you guys." Jewel said. Suddenly, the alarms sounded and Goldwin, a magic statue brought to life by a magic mask, burst into the room.

"Guys, it's horrible, you better come quick." he cried.

"Slow down Goldwin-- what's wrong?" Celstia asked.

"I was staring at the clouds out the window when I saw down below in the village... Sombra and Chrysalis." Everybody gasped in horror!

"Let's go you, guys." Artie asked.

"We're coming to." Celestia called.

"What about me?" Jewel asked.

"You will stay here, Jewel." Grand Ruler replied, “it's still too dangerous for you to enter battles yet."

"Okay." Jewel replied. Jewel watched as her friends ran out of the dining room and into the village, while Goldwin her stayed and they both looked out the window.

Sombra and Chrysalis were strolling down the village streets, while the villagers ran away in fear and utter panic.

"Looks like they haven't put out the welcome mat for us." Sombra said.

"Think again!" A voice shouted from behind. Sombra and Chrysalis turned and saw Lighting, his friends, the mane 5, Spike, their majesties and Princess Luna, Cadence and Shining Armor.

"Well, well, well look whose here." Sombra added.

"What do you two want?" Starla snarled.

"That's none of your buisness! Now, let's get started so we can destroy you." Chysalis taunted.

"Let's go guys!" Lightning said.

"STARFLEET MAGIC"

Lightning: Power of Believing

Starla: Power of Space

Buddy: Power of Flora

Artie: Power of Art

Rhymey: Let us begin...Power of the wind

Dyno and Myte: Power of Fire

Then the girls transformed...

"HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!"

And finally little Spike....

"DRAGON POWER!"

"Warrior-mode, go!" Celestia transformed into her warrior garments. Cadence changed into the Silent-Ninja and Shining Armor turned into Saber. The two sides glared fiercely at each other, until Sombra and Grand Ruler shouted, "ATTACK...!"

The two sides charged each other, yelling like true warriors. Lightning and friends dealt with Chysalis while the royal ones dealt with Sombra.

Shining Armor, Luna, Cadence, Celestia and Grand Ruler kicked, punched and blasted Sombra with thier magic, but Sombra took their attacks like they were nothing. Same thing with Chrysalis. Lightning's friends threw their attacks at her.

“STAR SHOWER”

“LEAF SWARM”

“PAINT BOMB”

“DRILL QUILL”

"BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS"

However, it was like throwing a small pebble in front of a moving train. The friendship ponies all kicked and punched her but she didn't even flinch. Applejack tried to lasso her, but Chrysalis simply dashed out of the way. "Too easy." Sombra and Chrysalis thought.

They both blasted the ponies with shockwaves, sending them flying. Goldwin and Jewel were horrifed. The ponies sturggled to stand up again, "They are way stronger than before. How can that be?" Grand Ruler asked.

The ponies got up and charged the duo again, but Sombra and Chrysalis dashed towards them and began punching and kicking them all ruthlessly, really hurting them. Sombra and Chrysalis blasted them back hard. Lightning and all his friends as well as Cadence, Shining and Celestia's suits de-energized from weakness.

"Esto es terrible What are we gonna do?" Dyno cried.

"They're just.... too strong... for us" Myte added.

Sombra and Chrysalis laughed maliciously and combined their magic, trapping the ponies in a cage with special bars that wouldn't allow them to use any form of magic.

"Hey! Let us go this instant!" growled Grand Ruler.

"Not a chance!" Chrysalis replied, angrily.

"Hahahaha! After all these years of suffering, we will finally have our revenge on Starfleet." Sombra snarled. With that, Sombra and Chrysalis teleported away, along with the captured ponies.

Up in the palace, Jewel and Goldwin saw the whole battle and were extermely worried. "No, no, no, this is really bad! What do we do?" Goldwin said in near panic. Jewel was stunned and horrified by what she just saw.

Everybody in New Canterlot felt the same. Jewel and Goldwin were immediately called to the throne room. They saw the captain of the royal guard, Captain Shaina. She heard what happened and was desperately worried.

"We'll have to plan a rescue mission." She said.

"But, how? We saw how strong they are now! They creamed Lightning and the others. There's nobody left that can defeat them." Goldwin protested.

"But, there's one pony they haven't faced." Shaina said, slyly, while turning to Jewel. Jewel saw everybody looking at her with hope in their eyes and caught on.

"M-Me! Bu-but I've never been in a battle before." Jewel said.

"Yes, however, you’ve trained with Lightning, learning new spells and attacks. Riiiiight?" Shaina asked. Jewel nodded.

"Then you'll have a chance. Also, Sombra and Chrysalis don't know anything about you, so they don't know your attacks or what you are capable of." Shania added.

Jewel thought for a moment. Her friends were in serious trouble. The fate of United Equestria was at stake! If she doesn't do anything, who knows what Sombra and Chrysalis will do to them and the planet.

"Okay. I'll do, but do you really think I can do it..... by myself?" Jewel asked.

Goldwin, Shaina looked at each other and nodded. Shaina began to sing:

https://m.

(Shaina)

Everybody has times in their lives

When their hearts are filled with doubt

(Jewel)

Fear and nerves builds up inside

And it makes you want to run

(Goldwin)

But if you just take that first step

The next one will appear

(Goldwin and Shaina)

And you find you can walk, then run

Then fly...!

Into the stratosphere

You've got to give it your best

So you can save the day

Give it everything that you've got

Your friends don't have much time

Now it your time to shine

Have to put that training to the test now

(Jewel)

There are times when you want to give up

When you think that you can't go on

(Goldwin and Shaina)

But if you fight through with all of your might

You will find that you can't go wrong

That you could do it all along

(Shaina)

Everybody has times in their lives

When their hearts are filled with doubt

(Shania)

But if you just give it your all

You'll start to work it out

(Jewel)

And I know I can't give up too soon

Get myself in the zone

And I find I can walk, then run

(All)

Then fly...!

(Jewel)

I can do it on my own

(Goldwin and Shaina)

You can do it on your own

(Jewel)

I can do it on my own

"You're right! I can do this. Only one problem.. Where did Sombra and Chrysalis take them?" Jewel asked.

"I sense strong, dark magic coming from Fire Mountain." Luna replied.

"Where's that?"

"On the southern side of the planet."

"Okay. Lets do this." With that, Jewel ran out of the throne room on her way to Fire Mountain to save her friends.

"Good luck Jewel!" Goldwin called.

It didn't take Jewel long to reach Fire Mountain, a huge volcano surrounded by lava pools near the Dragon Lands. Jewel saw a tunnel leading into the volcano, knowing what she had to do, she gulped nervously and entered the tunnel. Walking down the tunnel, Jewel used her horn to create light, so she can see.

There were two changeling guards patrolling the tunnel, so Jewel used the invisibilty spell to hide herself from anyone in the cave tunnels. She finally found a small tunnel that had no changling guards patrolling it. She quietly entered and stopped the spell, making herself visible again.

Jewel's heart was slightly racing and she was sweating nervously. "Man, this isn't anything like the training Lightning put me through. How I gonna defeat two ponies with powerful magic by myself?" Jewel questioned.

Suddenly, a beam of light came down near Jewel and an angel-corn (what ponies become when they die) appeared. It angel looked like a ghostly image of an alicorn.

"You can save them Jewel. I know." It said.

"Who are you?" Jewel asked.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, former apprentice of Queen Celestia. I was killed in the line of duty trying to protect her." Twilight explained.

"Wow.... so why are you here?" Jewel askedm

"I sensed that you were in need of some coconfidence to help you." Twilight replied.

"So you really think I can save them Twilight?" Jewel asked.

"I do. I've been watching your magic and combat training with Lighting and I'm very much impressed." Twilight added.

"Yea, but this is all so new to me. I've never battled anyone before. It's all just happening so fast... I just wasn't prepared for this." Jewel replied.

https://m.

(Jewel)

I was prepared to do my best

Thought I could handle any test

For I have shown so many tricks

But I wasn't prepared for this

Levitation would have been a breeze

Facts and figures I recite with ease

(Jewel): The square root of five hundred and forty-six is twenty-three point three six six six four two eight nine one zero nine.

Professor Bill Neigh: She is correct!

(Jewel)

I could ace a quiz on creatures bliss

But I wasn't prepared for this

Will I fail, or will I pass?

I can't be sure...

(Twilight)

She can't be sure...

(Jewel)

My mind is sharp, my skills intact

My heart is pure...

(Twilight)

Her heart is pure...

(Jewel)

Oh, I've proven my magic truth

I've made known that I'm very skilled

But no I wasn't

(Twilight)

Oh no, she wasn't

(Jewel)

Oh no, I wasn't

(Twilight)

Oh no, she wasn't

(Jewel)

No I wasn't

(Jewel and Twilight)

Prepared... for this!

"You know Jewel, I once felt the same way." Twilight revealed. Jewel was surprised. "Really? When?" She asked.

"When Celestia first asked me to protect the Crystal Empire from King Sombra long ago. I didn't think I could do and that I would fail. But in the end I did pass becasue I never gave up. Now it's your turn." Twilight explained.

Jewel took in what Twilight was saying; if she was going to save her friends she would have to believe in herself and never give up.

"You're right Twilight! I can save them." Jewel said, smiling with newfound confidence.

"Good. I must be going now, until next time Jewel."

With that, Twilight floated up into the sky and vanished. Jewel stuck her head out o fthe tunnel. Seeing no guards, she continued forward. However, she didn't realize while she was talking, she was spotted!

Meanwhile, in Sombra and Chrysalis's cave, they've imprisoned the gang in a force field. The dark magic in the force field prevented them from transforming or even producing a spark of magic.

"Let us go!" Lightning yelled.

"Never! Finally, after all this time, I will finally destroy you all." Chysalis stated.

"You two will not get away with this." Celestia said.

"We've already have, nobody's coming to save you. Nobody's foolish enough to even try and face us." Sombra explained.

The gang refused to admit it, but they were right. Suddenly, their minions came rushing in...

"Your majesties! The guards said they spotted saw a pink unicorn nearby!" Swift informed. Sombra and Chrysalis were shocked and angered.

"WHAT? Who dares tries to foil our plan?" Sombra asked furiously.

Swift showed them the image of the 'intruder' on the monitors. The gang saw it too and were shocked.

"It's Jewel!" Artie said.

"What in the hotel-bills is she doing here?!" Applejack cried.

Sombra, Chysalis and Swift heard this, "Ahhh, so she's come to try and save you all, huh. Well she's about to learn what happens when one tries to foil our plan." Chrysalis snarled.

"If any of you lay a hand on her, I'll destroy you all." Grand Ruler threatened.

Sombra laughed, "You are in no position to make demands. So you won't be doing anything, except watch your precious unicorn suffer! Swift give the mare a warm welcome." Chrysalis ordered.

Swift grinned evily.

"As you wish, your majesty."

Swift exited the lair and went into the tunnel. The gang knew Jewel was in big trouble!

Back in the tunnel, Jewel was only a couple of yards from where the duo was keeping her friends captive...

"Well, *Gulp* here goes nothing. I'm going in." She said to herself.

Just then a beam of magic came hit the ground in front of her.

"You're not going anywhere." a voice called.

The dust cleared and saw a male, humanoid cheetah standing in front of her.

"Who are you?" Jewel asked.

"Name's Swift. Which is the last thing you will ever hear, once I destory you."

Jewel quickly and nervously got into a battle stance. Swift roared and charged. Jewel used her magic to teleport out of the way. Swift jumped up and tried to punch her in the gut, but she teleported away again. Finally, Jewel countered.

"MAGICAL ARROW"

Jewel fired light pink arrows at Swift. The arrows left a few punctures but barely damaged him.

"Pathetic" Swift snarled, "Time to show you what REAL magic is.

"CLAW FLASH"

Swift's claws extended and glowed white. Using his cheetah speed, Swift charged and ruthlessly slashed Jewel. She tried to counter, but it was in vain. Swift punched her in the face and she fell to the ground.

"Aww, looks like you couldn't save your friends after all, how sad." Swift taunted.

Jewel knew she couldn't give up. She had to save her friends. She slowly got back onto her feet saying.

"I...won't...give..up..until...my...friends..are...SAFE!!!"

Suddenly, Jewel felt a tremendous burst of energy within her. Swift saw that Jewel's entire body was glowing in a yellow magical arua. Jewel roared and charged Swift, punching and kicking him faster an a projectile. Swift tried to fight back but Jewel was too quick. She knocked Swift into a wall, knocking him out cold. Jewel panted as the energy burst subsided.

Jewel examined herself and saw that her injuries were healed completely.

"Woah. What just happened? No time, I've gotta save my friends."

Jewel dashed towards the cave. What she didn't know was that Sombra, Chysalis and the gang saw the fight. Sombra and Chysalis were outraged while the captured gang were shocked and in awe.

"Galloping Galaxies" Lighting muttered.

"How did Jewel do that?" Buddy asked.

"IMPOSSIBLE! That girl is gonna pay!" Sombra snarled, outraged.

In no time, Jewel arrived. "Looking for someone." she said.

Sombra and Chrysalis turned and growled at her.

"Jewel, get out of here. They're too dangerous." Lightning pleaded.

"He's right chica." Dyno said.

"Run away." Myte added.

"No! I'm not leaving until you all are safe." Jewel objected. Lightning and his friends were very concerned. Their majesties were also concerned, but at the same time impressed by Jewel's bravery.

"You made a big mistake coming here. And now your going to face the consequences." Sombra threatened. He and Chrysalis charged Jewel, who teleported out of the way and into the air.

Sombra and Chrysalis's started bombarding Jewel with punches. Jewel used her shield spell to defend herself and spread out the shield, sending Sombra and Chrysalis into the wall.

Sombra and Chrysalis were furious. Sombra fired a shockwave at Jewel, stunning her and Chrysalis charged Jewel attacking her ruthlessly. The gang watched in horror as Chysailis constantly punched Jewel and finally, she punched her in the stomach, sending her to the ground.

"JEWEL!" the ponies cried.

Sombra and Chrysalis floated down to the small crater and stared down at Jewel. She had a black eye, bruises everywhere and mane was matted and tangeled.

"Looks like this is your final curtain. Too bad you couldn't save them. You were just too pathetic to do it. Now say goodbye!" Sombra said.

He and Chysalis combined their magic and fired the finished blow.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" The gang cried.

Just as the beam was about to hit. Jewel felt the same magical energy run through her. She leaped out of the crater and punched the beam, canceling it.

"What?!" Sombra and Chrysalis cried.

The gang was shocked. Jewel's whole body glowed brighter than ever.

Her hands and feet turned into paws with claws sticking out of them, her body was covered in silver fur and she got down on all four. Her muzzle became a little longer and sharp teeth appeared in her mouth. When the glow diminished, Jewel howled in her new form; A gray wolf!

"Incerdible!" cried Grand Ruler.

"Awesome!" Rainbow dash added.

"Cool!" agreed Lightning.

Jewel charged the duo in her wolf form. They tried to fight back, but it was usless. Jewel hit them with her tail and clawed them with her paws.

"I will not... GIVE UP! THUNDER HOWL"

Jewel fired a shockwave at Sombra and Chrysalis, who were consumed by the blast destroying them. Jewel went to the control panel and slashed it, causing the force field to deactivated and the ponies to be set free.

Jewel glowed again and truned back into her unicorn self. Her injuries were healed again, but she was extermely exhausted. Her friends rushing towards her was the last thing Jewel saw before she passed out.

When she woke up, Jewel saw all of her friends by her bedside. "Hey there sleepy head. How are you feeling?" Starla cooed.

"A little tired, but alright." Jewel replied. Her voice was hoarse from lack of use. Artie poured her a cup of water and handed it to her. "Thanks." Jewel gulped down the liquid until it was all gone.

"We're so glad you're alright, we were really worried. Especially Lightning." Buddy added.

Jewel looked around and saw that she in a hospital bed. "What happened?" Jewel asked. "After you passed out, Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler discovered that the Sombra and Chrysalis you faced were only puppets with a fraction of their actual power." Starla explained.

"Yikes. I hate to see the real them." Jewel commented. "We brought you to the sickbay and Dr. Penny said you'll make a full recovery." Starla added.

"Good, I wanna see Lightning." Right after she said that, Lightning popped into the room with the four royal alicorns and Shining Armor.

"Did someone call for me." Lightning joked.

"Lightning!" Jewel cried, happily.

Lightning came to Jewel's bedside and they both hugged. "It's good to see you awake Jewel."

"It's good that you all are safe." Jewel replied.

"I'm very proud of you, Jewel. Using what you've learned to save us. You've impressed me, my brave pony." Lightning praised.

"Indeed, you were very brave, Jewel. I don't think any other pony would have done what you did." Celesto added.

Everybody nodded in agreement. "Now, it's time to celebrate! Yeah!" Pinkie suddenly cried.

"Celebrate?" Jewel replied confused, "Celebrate what?"

The next day, everypony in United Equestria gathered in New Canterlot Palace Throne Room. Lightning stood with the royal alicorns near the royal throne while his friends were in the very front of the crowd.

The royal fanfare began to play and the main doors to the throne room opened. Jewel came walking down the red carpet, towards the royal alicorns. She stopped in front of them and the music stopped playing.

"We are gathered here today to reminisce of what has occured this day. King Sombra and Queen Chysailis, two enemies that were thought to be gone forever have returned." Grand Ruler started.

The crowd gasped!

"And they succeeded in capturing myself, my wife, our family and my former apprentice Lightning Dawn and his team." He added.

The crowd gasped again!

"However, we were saved by the actions of a brave young alicorn that stand before us all here today." Queen Celestia said. "Which is why were are all exteremly proud and honored to give Jewel the United Equestrian Pink Heart of Courage." Celstia added.

Luna used her magic to leviate the necklace with a pink crystal heart in the center over to Jewel, who bowed her head to receive it. Luna placed the necklace on her and she smiled with glee. The crowd cheered loudly and applauded.

"We have another reason to celebrate this day." Grand Ruler added, suddenly. Everybody, even Lightning, his friends and the other royal ones didn't know what Grand Ruler was doing. Grand Ruler stared down at Jewel.

"Jewel, due to your increadible act of bravery and your willingness to never give up when your friends were in great peril, even when you were at an exterme disadvantage, you have proven to me and everybody else what kind of person you are; strong, brave and truly magical.

Which is why as Commander of Starfleet, I hereby dub Jewel, the newest memeber of Lightning's Starfleet unit as a Major!" Grand Ruler exclaimed.

The whole throne room burst with cheers and applause. Lighting and his friends were the loudest and proudest of Jewel.

It seemed like only yesterday she was an injured, scared little unicorn. Now she's a memeber of the force. Jewel felt exteremly honored.

"Even with United Equestria under the cape of war. This is a bright, new beginning for everybody." Princess Luna ended.

In our next episode; Jewel struggles to control her newfound powers and fears still become a threat to her friends.

Can Lightning be his friends help Jewel control her powers?

"Wild Instincts"

Episode 21: The Legend Of Everfree Cave

At the royal palace, their majesties were pacing back and forth while Lightning’s team and the friendship ponies, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor and Castor and Leilani and Jewel watched.

“What if somebody takes them?” Grand Ruler asked.

“I have my Rockruff that can track them and even prevent that.” Jewel said.

“What if they run into a Manticore?” Celestia asked.

“Or what if they get pulled into New Tartarus?” Grand Ruler asked.

“Seriously?” Jewel replied with a straight face. Their majesties sighed. “We just don’t want anything to happen to them.” Grand Ruler explained.

“Aunt Celestia, Uncle, Don’t worry, Jewel will keep them safe.” Cadence spoke up. Their majesties looked at Jewel, who had a confident smile on her face. “Sigh... Alright. They can go.” Celesto said.

Castor and Leilani cheered. “I’ll go get my costume!” they both said as they rushed to their room. The ponies chuckled at their enthusiasm.

Who could blame them? It was Nightmare Night after all. The day if the year where kids dress up in costumes and run around and trick or treat around New Ponyville. Castor and Leilani came back.

Castor was dress as a knight with yellow armor and a small silver sword and Leilani was dressed as a princess with a blue grown and a small tiara and small boots. Their majesties smiled at their children. “You both have a good time and listen to Jewel okay?” Celestia asked.

“We will Mom.” Castor and Leilani said at the same time. Jewel laughed. “Come on you two.” Castor and Leilani followed Jewel out of the palace and they were soon on the train to New Ponyville.

“They’ll be fine, sister and brother-in-law.” Luna stated.

“We know... we just... can’t help but worry.” Celestia stated.

“They have Jewel with them. She’ll keep them safe.” Starla added. Their majesties nodded. “Now how about we start the party?” Artie asked. Pinkie cried happily and dashed into the throne room. The ponies laughed.

Meanwhile, Jewel took the royal twins to three house in New Ponyville so far. The twins had their own bags filled with some candy. “This is so fun!” Castor said.

“Yeah.” Leilani added. Suddenly they heard screaming and saw a few children running away screaming, “ITS GOING TO EAT US! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!”

The children passed the trio. “Huh? Weird?” Jewel said. “What was that about?” Castor asked.

That’s when Zecora came up to them. She had on a ghostly outfit but you can still see her face and body.

“You do not know,
At this time of year the ghost of Everfree Cave is here to show.” she said.

“The ghost of Everfree Cave?” Jewel repeated. “What’s that?”

“They say it’s a ghost is not known to be seen,
But it only comes out on Nightmare Night,
You will stay away if you know right,
For the ghost is a scary, a soft not to be seen.” Zecora stated. Then she walked away.

“A ghost in the New Everfree Forest.” Castor said. “Cool!”

“Can we go see it Jewel?” Leilani asked. Jewel was extremely hesitant. Going into the New Everfree on the scariest night of the year? “I... I don’t know you two.” she said.

”Please” the royal twins pleaded while giving Jewel the puppy dog eyes. Jewel sighed and complied, much to the children’s excitement.

So the three headed off to the New Everfree Forest. Unaware that Rockruff had been watching them and had heard everything. Rockruff rushed to New Canterlot Palace.

The trio made it to the New Everfree. They were now walking through the forest. “Are you sure we should have came in here?” Jewel asked, having second thoughts. “Yeah. We can finally see our first ghost!” Castor added. Leilani agreed with him. Jewel sighed in defeat. ”These children are going to be the death of me.”

They continued walking until they came to a large, rocket clearing with a small mountain with a tunnel in it. “Everfree Cave.” Jewel said.

Castor and Leilani looked at each other and giggled. “Let’s go sis.” The twins began climbing the small, steep mountain. “Hey! Wait!” Jewel called as climbed after the two twins.

The three immediately began feeling strong winds around them with leaves swirling in the winds. Jewel turned around and saw ghostly image of a wolf head looking at them. “Who are you?” she whispered.

The spirit didn’t reply but Jewel had to keep following the twins.

They reached the mouth of the cave and saw nothing except two light green lights. “Hello... is anybody in there?” Castor called.

“Please...” the voice replied, sounding like a female. “Just leave me alone.”

“It’s okay... we don’t want to hurt you.” Leilani added.

“Yeah. We promise.” Castor added. After a moment of silence, the voice said. “...Okay.”

The figure began to move into the moonlight revealing an peach colored alicorn with peach wings and horn. Her mane was orange. She was wearing what looked to be a white grown. The thing that stood out the most to the trio was that her eyes were milky green, meaning she was blind!

“Hi there... I’m Jewel Crystal and this is Castor and Leilani.... what’s your name?” Jewel asked.

“My name is Twinkle Spark.”

“Are you hiding from something?” Castor asked.

“Yes because... um.”

“A pony who can’t see isn’t considered useful to some ponies?” Leilani answered.

“Yes.” Twinkle replied. “I’ve Ben hiding here my whole life.”

“But... why?” Jewel asked. Twinkle thought back to her foalhood.

Twinkle’s mother was walking though town with two foals behind her and goal Twinkle was looking behind her and wandered to a log.

The townspeople looked at her mother with judgement looks. “She can’t possilbe raise future offspring.” said one pony. “Especially since one is a-“ he was cut of when Twinkle bumped into the log, she tried to jump over.

She fell to the ground unharmed. The pony demeanor changed to sinister as he walked towards Twinkle with his horn ready to fire. He fired, Twinkle braced for impact but her mother leaped innat the last second and snatche her up and ran away from the town.

“It is the way of the ponies.” He said as he chased after her. Twinkle’s mother looked back at her husband who nodded. She kept running with foal Twinkle in her arms.

It was nightfall and when she finally stopped running she stopped behind a bush and looked at her little foal. “Don’t worry, my little spark. You’ll be safe there.” Her horn glowed and she teleported the baby to a clearing in the New Everfree.

A small porcupine came out of the brush. Foal Twinkle stood up and looked at the porcupine. “Psst.. come on I know where you’ll be safe.” He said. Following his pawprintsshe followed him all the way to the Everfree Cave, where she lived for the past seventeen years.

“I just want to hear her voice again.... just once.” Twinkle said as she finished her backstory. The three ponies felt bad for her. “Well... we know some ponies who would love to help you track down your mother.” Castor said.

“Really?” Twinkle asked.

“Yeah. Our mommy and daddy would love to help you.” Leilani added. Twinkle was hesitant and so was his porcupine friend. Name: Dust.

“Twinkle, are you kidding their foals!” Dust said.

”We’re not foals!” Castor and Leilani stated. Twinkle smiled while Dust looked at them.

“Anyway... Let’s get a move on shall we?” Jewel asked. Everybody agreed and they all slowly climbed down the small mountain and began trekking back through the forest. ”I hope their majesties don’t worry too much” Jewel thought.

Back at the palace...

“WHAT?!” Their majesties cried. “WHAT DI YOU MEAN THEY WENT OT THE NEW EVERFREE FOREST!” Luna, Cadence and Shining Armor were trying and failing to keep the two from hyperventilating.

“Why in the hotel-bills would they do that? Jewel won’t allow that!” Applejack said.

“Arf. Arf.”

“Rockruff said that Zecora told them of a ghost that lives in New Everfree Cave andyhe kids wanted to go but Jewle tried to say now, but they pulled the puppy dog eyes on her and she gave in.” Fluttershy translated.

“Ooooh, that’s the one thing that always gets her.” Lightning said.

“You got all that from two ‘Arf’s’?” Rainbow asked. Fluttershy nodded.

“We have to get them back!” Celesto cried.

“Indeed. Let’s go!” Celestia added. The ponies immediately rushed out of the palace and to the New Everfree.

The gang of five made it to Zecora’s hut, where she was about to walk into her house when she’s noticed the five.

“Ahh, What do we have here?
A new pony-“ Zecora looked closer at her eyes.
“And a blind one as it appears to be.”

“Hi Zecora. This is Twinkle Spark. She’s been living in the haunted New Everfree Cave.”

“We’re bringing her to our parents so she’ll have a family.” Leilani said. Zecora asked why and the twins explained Twinkle’s backstory.

“Oh my,
Such a tale makes me want to cry.” Zecora said.

“However, while I was on my walk,
I found two other ponies who wanted to talk,
They were asking for you Twinkle Spark,
When they see you they will be shocked.”

Zecora called for the two ponies and they came out from inside her hut. One was white with a yellow with an orange mane and the other was smaller and she was orange with a red mane and tail.

“Hello. You must be Twinkle Star.” The female pony said.

“W-Who are you?” Twinkle asked.

“I’m your sister, Starlight Spark.” the female said.

“And I’m your father, “Moonlight Sparkle.”

“Twinkle... mom.... she never made it back.” Starlight said, mich to Twinkle’s sadness. Jewel and the royal twins as well as Zecora felt bad for her. “But I want you to know she loved you. She vowed to protect all of us.”

“I needed to hear that.” Twinkle replied. Starlight and Moonlight hugged Twinkle. “The rules of our world are still the same.” Starlight added. “But we can still visit you and your new family someday.” Moonlight added. Twinkle smiled.

Suddenly...

“HEY!” Everybody turned around and saw a burly, brown pony with slight brown mane and tail. Name: Claws. He had two other ponies by his side.

One pony was gray with a black mane and the other was beige with a light purple mane. Names: Slash and Scratch.

Twinkle gasped in fear and her father and sister stood in front of her protectively. “Whose that?” Castor asked.

“H-He’s the one who tried to kill me when I was young!” Twinkle cried.

“I’ve finally found you after all these years.” Claws said in a sinister voice.

“Stay away from my daughter!” Moonlight bellowed. Claws laughed as he approached the ponies and zebra. “Is, we have to get you out of here!” Starlight stated.

“No!” Twinkle said. “I’m tired of hiding.” Twinkle stepped in front of the whole gang. “What did you do with my mother?” she asked.

Slash and Scratch charged the ponies.. suddenly Lightning and Starla rammed into Thebes ponies ending them to the ground. “Lightning! Starla!”” Jewel cried.

“And they’re not alone.” The gang turned around and saw Lightning’s friends, the friendship ponies and the royal ponies.

Claws growled as he saw his henchponies easily overpowered by Lightning and Starla. She began to approach Twinkle, Jewel, Castor and Leilani. “She’s gone Twinkle Spark and she’s paid the highest prices for hiding you.”

Castor and Leilani looked deep into the forest, where they saw the wolf spirit head looking at them. “Twinkle Spark we have to get you into the forest.” Castor said. “You’ll be protected there follow us.” Leilani added. The children rushed passed Claws with Twinkle and Jewel right behind them. Claws followed them.

Their majesties saw this and pursued Claws. “Listen for our footsteps okay?” Castor stayed. As he and his sister lead Twinkle Star to a clearing. They gotten ahead of her and stopped. Looking back they saw Claws dangerously close to Twinkle. They looked at the trees and said. “Twinkle’s in trouble!”

The wolf spirit head appeared and floated behind them. “Twinkle, jump!” Twinkle leaped out of Claws range and he fell on the ground. He got up and chased her again but when Twinkle reached the royal twins and Jewel, the spirt floated in front of him and roared. Claws was terrified.

The royal ponies and Dust came into the scene but hey saw nothing except Claws screaming and the spirt swirling around him making him vanish into thin air.

“Okay, that was unexpected.” Dust commented.

“We’re okay, Twinkle, we’re okay.” Castor said. Twinkle looked at the three ponies. “Thank you.” The children looked at the spirit, which lost it's tense appearance and smile at the two of them and Jewel.

Everybody went back to the palace including Twinkle’s family. “Thank you for looking out for my daughter.” Moonlight said to Castor, Leilani and Jewel.

“Your welcome.” Jewel replied.

“Now we must get back to our planet.” Starlight said. She turned to their majesties. “Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of her.” Celestia stated. Starlight and Moonlight smiled. They turned back to a twinkle and hugged her. “Well come back and visit you soon.” Moonlight said.

“Okay, dad.”

“Farewell everybody!” Starlight called. Everybody said goodbye and Starlight and Moonlight teleported away, back to their planet.

“And as for you three.” Grand Ruler said, turning his attention to Castor, Leilani and Jewel, who smiled nervously.

“Since you helped a pony in need. We’ve decided to overlook any scolding and punishments.” Celestia added. The three sighed in relief.

“Now Twinkle, you will be staying with Jewel Crystal.” Luna stated. Twinkle smiled and nodded.

“Master, do you think the Professor can make something to help Twinkle... at least... see a little better?” Lightning asked. Grand Ruler thought about this. “I believe he can make something for Twinkle Spark.” he replied.

Twinkle smiled. “Now come on let’s get you home.” Jewel said.

“Okay.” Twinkle, listening to Jewel’s footsteps, followed Jewel out of the palace and to her new home.

In our next episode; Mykan experiences a dream that makes him think out his friendship with Jewel and whether to take it to the next level.

What will Mykan’s choice be in the end?
