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

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.

That it's finally our turn
So watch us shine

(Sizzle)
While they light out
I'm just getting started
And when I make a promise I always come through
Challenging with me is not for the low-leveled
I've spent years at the top and I sure like the view-ooh-ooh-ooh I sure do

(Their Majesties)
But, hey, We're still powered up for a chance to prove

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.
