My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic: The New Member (Rewrite)

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

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?
