Iris was the daughter of Korra and Mako, the king and queen of friendship. Akari wasn’t he daughter of Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry. Mai and Hiro were the twins siblings of Asami and Bolin and they were Iris’s cousins. Nori was the daughter of Kombu and he was married to Rarity. She could change into a merpony an she loves everything to do with fashion and nature. Chi was Nova’s wisp sister and she lives with Sunset Shimmer and Nova. Gallent Seed was also the son of Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst. He was shy and didn’t really like sports. The friends were happily walking and talking when they passed and alleyway and Akari stopped and looked in the alley. “Akari? What’s up?” Chi asked. “I hear something st the end of the alleyway.” she replied. “It sounds like whimpering.” “Maybe someone needs help?” Gallent added. “Let’s go check it out.” Iris suggested. The others agreed and followed her into the alley. They stopped when they saw a moving cardboard box. “You think someone’s in that horrid thing?” Nori asked. “Only one way to find out.” Iris said. She approached the box and used her magic lifted it up. What everybody saw made their hearts stop. There was an anthro alicorn laying unconscious on the ground. The girl looked at be about fourteen. Her clothes were in sheds, her hair was disleveled and had a lot of dirt and grime on it as well as her body. Her body also had some bruisers and scratches on it. “Oh my goodness!” Nori cried. “Holy mother of Raava!” Hiro added. “What happened?” Akari asked. “I don’t know.” Iris stated. “But she needs help. Let’s take her to the castle. Mai, Hiro, you two go gather everybody else.” Iris ordered. The twins nodded and went off while Iris and the others went to her castle. Soon, the mane 6, Bolin, Asami, Queen Leilani, Celestia, Princess Luna, Korra, Mako, Sunset, Nova, Sunburst and Iris’s lizard spirit siblings, San, Mika and Ali were present. Iris placed the unconscious mare in one of the guest bedroom. Korra placed a wet rag on the mares’ forehead to bring down her fever. “What ever could have happened to the darling?” Rarity asked. “Not sure but to leave in such a state.” Korra started. “It must have been pretty bad.” “We also found two sets of paw prints near her.” Mai added. “Well for. Ow, we should leave the mare to rest and check up on her in the morning.” Leilani suggested. Everybody agreed and went off. A day passed and the gang went to check up on the mare. When Iris opened the door they all saw something that made them all gasp. The mare was sitting up in bed with two creatures by her side. One looked like a lion cub while the others looked like a kitten. The two creatures saw the gang and growled at them. The mare meanwhile flinched now in fear. Iris slowly approached the three. “It’s okay.” she said. “We don’t want to hurt you.” The creatures heard the gentleness in her voice and calmed down as well as the mare. “Do you wanna tell us our name?” Iris asked. “I-It’s Crystal Diamond.” “Well Crystal, I wanna introduce you to my friends, if that’s okay.” Iris asked. Crystal nodded. After Iris introduced Crystal to her family, Crystal calm down and was speaking more clearly, thought it was still in a soft voice like Fluttershys’. “Crystal, how did you end up in that alleyway?” Mai asked. Crystal sighed sadly. “Well it went like this-“ Five months old Crystal was alone in the dark forest crushing and whimpering for her parents but they were nowhere in sight. The bushes near her began to rustle and two wolves came out. One was white while the other was gray. The two wolves approached her and soon eight more wolves cane out of the bush to look at the creature in the basket. The Alpha female nuzzled Baby Crystal, making hr giggle and grab her muzzle. The Alpha female then looked at the Alpha male. She began softly growling. The wolf mom said “We can’t leave her here. Can we take her back to the den and raised her as our own?” the Alpha male looked better his mate and the baby. After a long moment of silence, he nodded. The Alpha female immediately grabbed the blanket with Baby Crystal in it and carried her all the back to the den. Once in the den, the female set her down and Baby Crystal began crawling around looking at the den curiously. The Alpha female only smiled at her little one. Then she headba growling sound coming from the little baby. Baby Crystal began whimpering. She was hungry. The Alpha female went over and gently grabbed Baby Crystal and brought her to a corner of the den. She set her down and the baby smelled the milk. Baby Crystal crawled to one of her mipples and began suckling just like a newborn wolf pup. The Alpha male cane in and sat down next to his wife and they both nuzzled each other and looked at Baby Crystal “From that day, my wolf mom and day cared for me until they said that I was old enough to stroke out on my own. So I wandered until I came here and found the alleyway. And then you all found me.” When she was finished everybody was shicked and Pinkie and Hiro were crying. “That’s the sweetest and saddest story I ever heard!” they both sobbed. The rest were amazed by Crystals’ backstory. “Sounds like you have an intriguing backstory Crystal Diamond.” Celestia said. Crystal blushed. “So have you ever used your magic and flown before?” Twilight asked. “Actually, I never did.” Crystal replied. After a moment of silence, Akari said, “So in the eighteen years you’ve been alive, you’ve never used your magic or flown in your life!” She asked. Crystal nodded fearfully. “Easy Kars, you're scaring her.” Chi said. Akari calmed down and apologized and then Queen Celestia approached. “Crystal, would you like to attend Harmony High with Iris and her friends?” she asked. Iris and her friends gasped in surprise. “Really?” Iris asked. Celestia nodded. “But will she be okay?” Hiro asked. “I mean she’s been raised by wolves all her life. Is she really ready for human society?” “She will have you children there to guide her.” Queen Leilani reassured. “O-Okay, I guess I could give it a try.” Crystal replied slowly. Iris and her friends cheered. Now they have a new friend and schoolmate. A Powerful Magic SparkThe next morning, Crystal was all clean and set for her first day of high school. She was warring a pink shirt with blue stripes and she was wearing jeans and purple sneakers. Crystal exited the castle and saw her new friends. “Hey Crystal, you ready for your first day of school?” Chi asked. “I-I guess so.” Crystal replied. Hiro patted her on the back gently, “Don't worry we won’t let anything happen to you.” Hiro reassured. Jewel smiled a little and the eight friends went off to Harmony High, a school where all kinds of creatures and benders come to master their skills. They all entered their bending and magic class. The teachers was a middle-aged man with short, black hair and he looked really intimidating. He wore a police-like outfit. “Alright students today we have a new student joinin is today. Everybody please welcome, Crystal Diamond.” Crystal just waved her hand shyly and kept her head down. “Now we will begin the day with sparring practice.” The teacher paired Mai with Hiro, Akari with Iris Chi with Gallent Seed and Nori was paired up with a another water bender. “Crystal, you will be paired with Raksha.” the teacher said. Everybody in the room gasped in horror. “W-Who’s Raksha?” Crystal stuttered. “She’s the meanest and strongest air bender in the whole school.” Chi replied. Crystal looked around and saw quickly found Raksha. She was dressed like a gangster with a bandana around her head, a leather jacket and pants and all black sneakers. Raksha layed her eyes on Crystal. “Ahhh, another opponent, huh?” she said. “Let’s see if you’re a challenge unlike my last partner.” Crystal just gulped and her legs shook furiously. “Let’s get this over with.” Raksha said as she charge forth. Meanwhile, Crystal friends had finished their sparring practice and were busy praising each other when they heard a grunt. Turning they saw Crystal and Raksha sparring and Crystal losing badly. She kept dodging all of Rakshas’ attacks and trying to keep her distance from her. “What’s wrong? Scared?” Raksha taunted. Crystal recived another punch from Raksha, sending her to the ground. Raksha then used her air bending and made a tornado that lifted Crystal into the air. She then slammed it hard onto the ground and Crystal was just lying there. “Crystal!” Iris cried. Raksha walked right in front of Crystal, who struggled to get up again but she was too injured to do so. “Pathetic.” That was the last thing Crystal heard before everything went black. Crystal’seye fluttered open and she was greeted by seven blurs in front of her. “I think she’s coming too.” One blur said. When her’ vision cleared, she saw Iris and her friends at her bedside. “Guys?” she whispered. “Easy Crystal, you’re still injured.” Gallent said. “What happened?” Crystal asked. “You got your butt kicked by Raksha in front of the whole class.” Hiro said bluntly earning a hit on the head by his sister. “You’re in the nurses’ office now.” Nori said. “You just need some time recover and you’ll be fine.” Crystal had a miserable look on her face. She suddenly got up and she headed towards the door. “Crystal! Where are you going?” Chi asked. Crystal picked up her backpack and said in a defeated voice. “Home.” She then exited the nurses’ office and the school and went back to Iris’ Castle. When they friends returned to Iris’s home they were greeted by their folks. “Children what happened?” Leilani asked. “Yeah. Crystal just walked in her looking really really sad and she just went into her room.” Rainbow added. “She got beat up by Raksha in class and it.... like it just destroyed her spirit.” Iris said. “She looked so miserable.” “Can we see her?” Nori asked. “Yes.” Celestia replied. The seven friends went into Crystals’ bedroom and Nori slowly opened the door. “Crystal, are you okay?” Gallent aske gently. The room wasn’t pitch black except for the little candlelight on her night stand. Crystals’ creature friends were on her bed looking at her sadly. “Litleo.” “Shinx.” The two pokémon turned and saw the friends. Iris and Akari day on the bed. “Crystal, do you wanna talk about this?” Akari asked. Crystal just looked at her friends and shook her head. “Crystal, we know your distressed about this, but you can’t just quit after the first try.” Iris said. “Why not?” Crystal asked in a emotionless voice. “Cause if you quit, you’ll never be able to improve yourself.” Akari replied. Crystal stayed silent for a momen and asked, “You really think I can improve myself?” Iris and Akari nodded. “Well... I guess I could give it a try.” Iris and Akari smiled and Litleo and Shinx leaped into Crystals’ arms, nuzzling her happily. Crystal laughed. Soon, the three came out of the room and the family was happy to see Crystal smiling again. “Mom, Dad, can you help Crystal with her magic?” Akari asked. “Rainbow can you help Crystal with her flying?” Iris asked. “Of course, honey.” Korra stated. “You bet!” Rainbow said. Soon, everybody was in the front of Thebes castle. “Alright Crystal, first we will start you off with some levitation, a basic skill every unicorn and alicorn knows.” Twilight stated. Flash placed a baseball in front of Crystal. “Now concentrate and left the ball into the air.” he said. Crystal narrowed her eyes and concentrated on the ball. A faint pink magic aura covered her horn and the ball. It began to levitate in the air but it suddenly dropped to the ground and the magic aura vanished. “Oh.” Crystal said sadly. Korra and Twilight came to her side. “It’s okya, Crystal.” Korra reassured. “You just need more time.” Twilight added. Crystal smiled a little at the two. Suddenly... BOOM! A loud explosion occurred in Harmony City! “What was that?!” Mako asked. “I don’t know, but it can’t be good.” Korra replied. The gang raced to city hall and saw the problem; a large creature was wrecking the place! It stood on four legs with a large frills cover in horns and it had a horn nose and its skin was green and yellow. (Like this) “What is that thing?” Hiro asked. “A Styracosaurus!” Crystal replied. “A What?” Iris asked. “A Styracosaurus, it’s a dinosaur that lived in the Mesozoic Era.” Crystal replied. The dinosaur roared and continuously stomped the ground. The people ran away in fear. Crystal took a good look at the dinosaur and noticed that it’s eyes were red instead of yellow! Crystal slowly began walking towards the dinosaur. “Crystal! What are you doing!” Iris cried. “Don’t go near it!” Korra added. “It’s dangerous!” The Styracosaurus noticed Crystal walking toward sit and it growled, pointing it’s 2 feet long horn at her. “Easy girl, easy.” Crystal soothed. “I’m not going to hurt you. I just want to help.” The Styracosaurus growled softly and it looked to be calming down. “That’s it girl.” Crystal said. She placed a hand on the dinosaurs’ nose horn and just then her eye ya turned white as well as he dinossurs’! “What’s going on!” Mai asked. Then they saw a dark smoke coming out from the dinosaur and into the eh air and then Crystal's horn glowed and it blasted the smoke, causing it to evaporate! “Incredible!” Leilani cried. When it was done, Crystal and the dinosaurs’ eyes returned to normal. Crystal was a little woozy but that went away when the Styracosaurus licked her face. “Hahaha! Aww, your welcome.” Crystal said. Crystal turned around and saw the shocked expressions of everybody around her. “Ummm.... hi.” she said with a nervous smile. Everybody went back to the palace... well the dinosaur stayed outside and just looked through a window. “Okay so… what just happened?!” Mako asked. “Crystal walked up to the dinosaur, touched it and remove the evil from it. Weren’t you paying attention?” Pinkie asked. Mako gave her a straight look. “In order to do something like that, Crystal must have powerful magic.” Luna replied. “But her magic must be different from ours.” Korra added. “I believe I can explain.” Everybody turned around and saw Tenzin standing there. “When did you get in here?!” Hiro asked. Tenzin chuckled. “Another one of my tricks.” he said. “Tenzin, do you know something about Crystals’ magic?” Iris asked. “I do.” he said. “Crystal’s magic is far more powerful than your alicorn magic. Crystal has Animal Magic.” “What’s Animal Magic?” Nori asked. “Animal Magic, is a very rare and powerful type of magic that allows the user to control and summon all kinds of animals.” Tenin explained. “And when she bends, the elements she uses changes into an animal that lives in the same environmental element.” “Like these two and the dinosaur?” Rainbow asked, referring to Litleo, Shinx and Styracosaurus. “Them and many more animals.” Tenzin replied. A moment of silence fell. “Old timer say what?” Akari said. Everybody was amazed and shocked. “Sounds like she’s a very special alicorn.” Iris commented. Crystal blushed. “But beware, with powerful magic like that you can bet someone may try to take it away from you.” Tenzin warned. “Don’t worry, we won’t let anything happen to her.” Mai promised. The others nodded as well. “Well, ow that that’s settled how about some more magic-“ Korra started but was cut off by Rainbow Dash. “-and flight-“ she said. “-training?” Korra replied. Crystal nodded her head. That afternoon, Twilight and the rest of the gang were once agin in front of the castle. Styracosaurus was there too. “Now try it again Crystal.” Crystal concentrated and a pink aura cane around her horn again and the ball. The baseball lifted into the air and stayed there! “Alright Crystal!” Hiro cried. “Yeah.” Gallent added. Crystal levitated the ball over to Twilight. “Great, now lets work on transfiguration spells.” Twilight stated. Crystal tilted her head to the side. “What’s transfiguration?” she asked. “It’s when you use your magic and turn on object into something else.” Iris explained. “Okay.” Twilight place three cups in front of Crystal. “Now turn these cups into something else.” Twilight said. Crystal concentrated and her horn glowed pink and blaste one of the cups turning into a..... puppy! “PUPPY!” Gallent squealed. He raced over to the puppy and picked up. “You are so cute.” he cooed. The puppy barked and licked his face,making him laugh. “Impressive!” Korra said with a proud smile. Crystal smiled and blushed. “Now do it two more times.” Twilight ordered. Crystal blasted the other two cups turning them into a kitten and a cat. “Awesome!” Hiro said. “Wicked!” Chi added. “Gorgeous!” Nori added. “Excellent work!” Korra said walking over to the two. “Your a fast learner, Crystal.” she praised. Crystal giggled. “Thank you.” “Now let’s work on your flight practice.” Rainbow said. But just befor they could start, a black blur rushed through the scene and grabbed Crystal! “AAAAAHHHHHH!” she screamed in total fear. “Crystal!” Iris cried out. “After it!” Mako said. Everybody, including Styracosaurus, chased after the creature. The creature took Jewel a forest near the palace. Once it was far from civilization, it dropped Crystal onto the ground and spit green goop onto her hand and horn. Crystal shuddered nervously. “I have her my Queen.” the creature said. “Excellent.” a sinister voice said behind Crystal. Crystal looked behind her and saw a humanoid incest-like pony with a long horn and holes in her legs. “W-Who are you?” Crystal squeaked. “Why little pony. I’m Queen Chrysalis, queen of the changeling wolves.” she replied. “What are g-gonna do with me?” Crystal asked in fear. “Oh, nothing. I’m just going to steal your magic and use it for myself.” she replied. Crystal gulped nervously. Chrysalis chuckled softly as she lit her horn but before she could perform the spell. A blast of fire came in between her and Crystal, forcing her back. The changeling wolf growled at who did it. They saw the gang with Litleo, Shinx and Styracosaurus in the front. “Leave our friend alone, Chrysalis!” Korra yelled. “Guys!” Crystal cried in relief. “Don’t worry Crystal, we’ll save you!” Iris called. Chrysalis scoffed, “If you want the alicorn you’ll have to defeat my wolves first.” she said. “Litleo!” “Shinx!” Litleo and Shinx took the challenge headbon, and raced to their owner. The changeling wolf lunged at them but Litleo unleashed Flamethrower and blasted the wolf far away. Shinx used Bite and bit right through the goop, setting Crystal free. Korra and Mako shortly fought with Chrysalis and she ran away. “I’LL GET THAT ALICORN IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO!” She bellowed as she flew off into the forest. When she was gone, everybody went to check on Crystal. “Crystal, darling, are you okay?” Rairty asked. Crystal, terribly frightened by the incident, suddenly burst into tears. Iris and her friends hugged Crystal and her pokémon nuzzled her for comfort. The Styracosaurus did the same. “Shhh.... it’s okay Crystal, we’re here. We got you.” Hiro soothed. Crystal just continued crying heavily from the experience. Hours later, Crystal was sleeping in her bed with Litleo and a Shinx watching over her. She cried herself to sleep and the others were in the main room discussing what happened. “What do you think that bug queen wants with Crystal’s magic?” Bolin asked. “Porobably sonething no good.” Asami replied. “Indeed. What ever Chrysalis wants to do with Crystal’s magic, it is it good and may have disastrous consequences.” Leilani said. “So we have to protect Crystal from that big. Easy peasy.” Chi replied. “I’m afraid that’s where you’re wrong Chi.” Nova said. “Chrysalis is very sneaky and she will do anything to get Crystals’ magic.” Everybody agreed to that. “So what do we do?” Iris asked, feeling worried about her friend. “We will have to keep a vigilante for Chrysalis while we help Crystals’ learn and grow, magic and social wise.” Luna replied. Everybody nodded bowed to protect Crystal with everything they’ve got. Rematch with New PowersThe next day, Crystal woke up and was greeted by Litleo and Shinx. “Hey you guys.” she greeted. “Litleo?” “Shinx?” “I’m okay you guys, really.” Crystal reassured with a small smile. Crystal got out of her bed and went to get dress. After about 15 minutes, she went to the kitchen and saw Korra and Mako making breakfast. “Hi Crystal,” Korra greeted. “How are you feeling?” “I’m okay, Korra.” Crystal replied. “Are you sure?” Mako asked. Crystal nodded. Korra gave Crystal her plate. It had bacon and eggs on it. “Thank you.” Crystal sat down at the table and ate her breakfast when Iris came in. “Hi Mom and Dad.” she greeted. “Hi honey.” Mako replied. “Hi Crystal, you okay?” Iris asked. “I’m okay, Iris. I promise.” Crystal replied. Iris smiled and Mako handed Iris her plate and the two girls finished their plates and went off to school. At the entrance, they met up with their friends. “Hey guys!” Chi called. The two girls cane over. “Hi.” Iris replied. “Are you feeling okay, Crystal?” Nori asked. Crystal nodded and she went int the school followed by her friends. They went to there class. “Alright class today we will continue our sparring practice. You will have the same partners as last time.” the teacher said. That made Iris and her friend really worried. All the students went off with their partners and began sparring. Crys found Raksha again. “Back for another beating huh?” Raksha taunted. Crystal didn’t reply. “Suit yourself.” Raksha rushed towards Crystal and she dodged and surprisingly kicked her! “Ugh. So you do have some Fight in you.” Raksha said. She charged Crystal again but she kept high in the air and spin-kicked Raksha and she crashed into a wall. ”So far, so good.” Crystal thought. Raksha got up and growled at Crystal. “Alright, you’re dead now!” Raksha made an air tornado with her hands and she launched it at Crystal. Crystal stood her ground and she was soon consumed by the tornado. ”I won’t give up. I won’t give up!” Crystal thought constantly. Raksha smirked, thinking Crystal was finished but she got her answer when she began to see a ball of light coming from inside the tornado! The air spread all over the room and the tornado was gone. The most shocking thing about it was that Crystal was still standing and glowing! “What the heck! That’s my strongest attack! How could you defeat it?!” Raksha cried in shock. Crystal didn't answer. Instead she thrusted her hand outwards and a lot of wind canned out of it and the wind turned into a eagle! “What!” Raksha cried. The eagle squawked and dove at Raksha, it clawed her with it’s claws and rammed her into the wall again. Raksha got up again and charged the eagle. The eagle sqwacked and flapped it’s wings, creating large pulses of wind. The wind blasted Rakasha and she fell the ground unconscious. Crystal had won! The wind eagle returned to Crystals’ side, sqwaked and disappeared. Crystal turned around and saw every children in class, including her friends looking at her with shocked and amazed expressions. “Ummm.... hi.” Crystal said. After the last bell, the eight friends walked by out of the school and to the palace. “Crystal, how did you do that?” Chi asked. “Yeah. That... was... AMAZING!” Hiro said. Crystal blushed and replied, “I don’t know, I was just thinking about never giving up and then I started glowing.” “Interesting.” Iris said. The gang arrived at the palace and they were greeted by their parents and their other friends. “Children what happened?” Leilani asked. “We sensed a powerful magic burst coming from the school.” Korra said. “That’s was Crystal.” Akari replied. From there, the children explained what happened and when they were done, the adults were shocked. “Crystal released a eagle made of wind?!” Mako asked. “I’m not lying.” Iris replied. The Equestrian queens were amazed as well. “At least we know she has bending powers.” Luna said. “But what about the eagle part?” Mai asked. “I may be combined with her animal magic.” Celestia said. “So Crystal summon animals that have the power of all four elements?” Hiro asked. “AWESOME!” “Yeah!” Akari replied. “However, Crystal will need to learn to tame this new ability through study.” Celestia said. “But we don’t know much about Animal magic, just regular alicorn and unicorn magic.” Iris pointed out. That’s when Tenzin cane into the room. “I may have something that can help.” He said. Everybody turned to him. “Really?” Iris asked. Tenzin nodded and pulled from his cape a thick book titled ”Animal Magic and Bending for Basics” “Well that’s convenient.” Rainbow said. “With this book, Crystal can learn all she needs to know about her animal magic and bending.” Tenzin explained. Crystal took the book and thanked Tenzin. “Well.. you better get started.” Iris said. However before she could open the book.... ROAR! BOOM! A loud sound and crash came from outside. “Again!” Hiro said. The gang raced out and could see from the palace a large sauropod dinosaur was in the middle of Harmony City! It was 33 feet long and 9 feet high. It was yellow and had long spikes on its neck. “What kind of dinosaur is that?” Bolin asked. “That’s an Amargasaurus!” Crystal cried. The Amargasaurus used its neck to smash building some left and right and used ya tail to sob the same thing. “It’s wrecking the city!” Mako cried. “That thing must be stopped!” Luna said. “But how?” Iris asked. She got her answer when she saw Styracosaurus racing into the scene. Styracosaurus rammed the Amargasaurus but the large dinosaur just smacked her away with its neck, sending her into a building, demolishing it completely. “That dinosaur is too strong for it! Styracosaurus needs help!” Crystal cried. Suddenly, her left arms glowed and a strange object appeared on it. The dinosaur bracer had six stones inside one for each dinosaur element; Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Grass and Wind. Next her right hand glowed and more cards appeared. Finally, three lightning move cards appear red as well. “Woah!” Dinosaur cards and move cards.” Crystal said. “Well you better use them.” Hiro said. Styracosaurus couldn’t take more from the huge dinosaur. “Alright.” Crystal slashed the card through the clot saying. “Use Lighting Spear!” Styracosaurus roared and charged the Amargasaurus it made contact and kept high into the air with the dinosaur on its horns. A bolt made of electricity formed and speared the Amargasaurus. It roared in pained and they both landed on the ground. Styracosaurus on four legs and Amargasaurus on its side shaking with electricity. It glowed boy and turned back into a card. And then Styracosaurus turned into a card as well. Crystal caught both the cards and she swiped the Styracosaurus one. The dinosaur turned into its chibi form; it had small numbs for horns and it was green and yellow. “Hey buddy.” Crystal said. The Styracosaurus roared and walked up to Crystal and licked her face. “Aww that tickles!” she cried. “Ahem.” Crystal turned and saw her friends looking at her as well the rest of the city..... again. Crystal smiled nervously. Chibi Styracosaurus, which Crystal named, Spark was playing with Naga, Korras’ polar bear and dog hybrid. The two were getting along great. Meanwhile the others were discussing what happened. “That wa amazing, Crystal!” Bolin said. “I have to agree that was amazing.” Asami agreed. The others added their own compliments to the battle. “Looks like your dinosaurs are more powerful than we thought.” Twilight said. “They hold the same elements that we can bend as well.” Korra added. “So in a way they’re benders themselves.” Akari added. Spark and Naga came in went to their respective owners. “Hehehehe. Hi Spark.” Crystal said. Spark licked Crystal and she smiled. “Now how about we start on your flight training now?” Rainbow asked. Crystal nodded and then everybody headed outside for Crystals’ first lesson. Flight Lessons and Illness“Alright Crystal, first you need to spread your wings out like mine are now.” Rainbow said. Crystal moved the muscles in her wings and they slowly expanded to full length. “Good.” Rainbow said. “Now start flapping them.” Crystal nodded and began flapping her wings but she wasn’t lifting into the air. “You have to flap them harder.” Rainbow called. Crystal flapped her harder and she began slowly lifting into the air. “Yeah Crystal!” Iris cried. “Now let’s start we moving forward. Just lean forward and keep flapping your wings.” Rainbow said. Crystal did what Rainbow said and she began flying towards her... slowly and steady. “Good. Now onto to steering.” As the days went by Crystal became better at using her wings. Though she couldn’t go as fast as Rainbow yet, she was improving, much to their friend joy. However, Rainbow began to take things a bit too far. She said that they should practice at night as well. Korra and the tigers didn’t like the sound of that because even though Crystal was raised by wolves, who were nocturnal, she pefered to sleep at night. Rainbow said she’ll get use to it in no time. The others weren’t so sure that would happen. One night, it was pouring rain and Rianbow and Crystal were flying over a nearby forest. “R-r-Rainbow are s-s-sure this w-w-was a good i-i-idea?” Crystal asked as she shivered badly in the cold wind and rain. Rainbow didn’t seem bothered the rainstorm at all. “No way! This will help you learn to fly in tough weather.” Rainbow explained. “Let’s get a move on.” Crystal sighed and pushed on. Just then, a huge gust of wind came and blew Crystal off course. “Crystal!” Rainbow cried. She rushed after her. Crystal tried to straighten out but the wind was too strong and she crashed with THUD! Rainbow landed near where we crashed. “Crystal! Are you alright?” she frantically asked. Crystal groaned as she got up slowly. Leaves were all over her body and she was dripping wet and her shivering had grown worse. “C-c-can we g-g-go home?” Crystal asked, hugging herself to keep warm. “Okay.” Rainbow answered. The two walked back home that night. When they entered the castle you can bet Korra, Mako, Iris, Ali, Mika and San were frantic when they saw Crystal covered in dirt and leaves. Korra told her to go get cleaned up and go off to bed immediately. When she went off, Rainbow told them what happened and they scolded her for letting Crystal flying I such dangerous weather. “Sorry, I won’t let something like this happen again.” She promised. The others were glad to hear that. Soon, Crystal was in her bedroom, all cleaned and fast asleep with her pokémon and Spark by her side. The next morning, Crystal woke up with a pounding headache and stuffy nose. She groaned as she rolled on her side trying to get back to sleep. Her movements woke up Litleo, Shinx and Spark. They both looked at their owner confused until she showed them her flustered face. They cried in shock, which altered Iris. She burst into the room. “Guys! What happened?” she asked. When she layed her eyes on Crystal, she gasped in shock. Her hair was all over the place, her nose was bright red and her flustered face was covered in sweat. All in all Crystal looked horrible! “Crystal what happened?” Iris asked. “I don’t... cough cough.... know.” Crystal replied in a congested voice. Iris ran to get her parents and soon they were both in the room. Korra palced a hand on Crystals’ forehead. “You have a high fever.” Korra said. “I think you’ve got the flu.” Crystal sneezed and coughed. “You’ll have to stay home from school for a couple days.” Mako said. Crystal nodded and tried to get back to sleep. “Litleo.” “Shinx.” “Oh, don’t worry you guys, Crystal will be fine in a few days.” Korra reassured. The pokémon nodded. Iris went off to get ready for school while Korra and Mako stayed with Crystal. “Mako, can you go get Crystal some medicine?” Korra asked. Mako nodded and went to the bathroom to get the medicine. Crystal coughed and sneezed and Mako came back with the cold and flu medicine. “Here.” he said. Korra took the bottle from him and opened it and poured a spoonful of medicine. Crystal covered herself in the covers, not wanting to take her medicine. “Come on Crystal, you have to take the medicine.” Korra pleaded. Crystal poked her head from the covers and reluctantly nodded. Korra smiled and fed the spoonful to Crystal. Crystal gagged at the taste of the medicine. Korra and Mako laughed and Crystal gave them a straight look. “Now you get some sleep okay?” Mako said. Crystal nodded and soon dozed off and Korra, Mako, Litleo, Shinx and Spark exited the bedroom. Hours later, Iris and her friends came to the palace. Iris told her friend about Crystal and they all wanted to see her. They went to her bedroom and saw her sleeping peacefully. “She’s cute when she sleeps.” Akari stated. The others chuckled and Iris went over to the bed. "Crystal, wake up." Crystal opened her eyes and saw her friends. "Guys." she said weakly. "What are you.. cough cough.. doing here?" "Iris told us you were sick, so we came to check on you." Gallent stated. Jewel smiled. She was very lucky to have such great friends. Shinx and Litleo punched on the bed and licked Jewel's face. "Don't worry, you two, I'll be fine." Jewel reassured. "Do you need anything?" Gallent asked. "What ever it is, we'll get in a jiffy." Hiro added. Jewel shook her head. "I'll think I'll just rest." she said. "Okay." Iris replied. "We'll let you rest." Iris and her friends left the room and Jewel fell asleep with Shinx and Litleo by her side. Two days passed until Jewel's cold finally left her. Shinx and Litleo were very happy to see their owner up and running again. Her friends got the work that she missed over the days and she completed all of it and handed it in on the day she came back. "I'm glad you're better, Jewel." Mai stated. "Yeah." Gallent added. "We were worried about you." Jewel smiled at her friends. "Well, I'm better now." Iris and her friends hugged their friend and she giggled. They were just happy to have Jewel healthy again.
The Great DiscoveryAuthor's Note Leave a comment The Great Discovery One day in Harmony City, Iris and her friends; Akari, Noro, Hiro, Mai, Chi and Gallent Seed were walking down the street with the bright sunlight shingling down on the beautiful city. Iris was the daughter of Korra and Mako, the king and queen of friendship. Akari wasn’t he daughter of Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry. Mai and Hiro were the twins siblings of Asami and Bolin and they were Iris’s cousins. Nori was the daughter of Kombu and he was married to Rarity. She could change into a merpony an she loves everything to do with fashion and nature. Chi was Nova’s wisp sister and she lives with Sunset Shimmer and Nova. Gallent Seed was also the son of Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst. He was shy and didn’t really like sports. The friends were happily walking and talking when they passed and alleyway and Akari stopped and looked in the alley. “Akari? What’s up?” Chi asked. “I hear something st the end of the alleyway.” she replied. “It sounds like whimpering.” “Maybe someone needs help?” Gallent added. “Let’s go check it out.” Iris suggested. The others agreed and followed her into the alley. They stopped when they saw a moving cardboard box. “You think someone’s in that horrid thing?” Nori asked. “Only one way to find out.” Iris said. She approached the box and used her magic lifted it up. What everybody saw made their hearts stop. There was an anthro alicorn laying unconscious on the ground. The girl looked at be about fourteen. Her clothes were in sheds, her hair was disleveled and had a lot of dirt and grime on it as well as her body. Her body also had some bruisers and scratches on it. “Oh my goodness!” Nori cried. “Holy mother of Raava!” Hiro added. “What happened?” Akari asked. “I don’t know.” Iris stated. “But she needs help. Let’s take her to the castle. Mai, Hiro, you two go gather everybody else.” Iris ordered. The twins nodded and went off while Iris and the others went to her castle. Soon, the mane 6, Bolin, Asami, Queen Leilani, Celestia, Princess Luna, Korra, Mako, Sunset, Nova, Sunburst and Iris’s lizard spirit siblings, San, Mika and Ali were present. Iris placed the unconscious mare in one of the guest bedroom. Korra placed a wet rag on the mares’ forehead to bring down her fever. “What ever could have happened to the darling?” Rarity asked. “Not sure but to leave in such a state.” Korra started. “It must have been pretty bad.” “We also found two sets of paw prints near her.” Mai added. “Well for. Ow, we should leave the mare to rest and check up on her in the morning.” Leilani suggested. Everybody agreed and went off. A day passed and the gang went to check up on the mare. When Iris opened the door they all saw something that made them all gasp. The mare was sitting up in bed with two creatures by her side. One looked like a lion cub while the others looked like a kitten. The two creatures saw the gang and growled at them. The mare meanwhile flinched now in fear. Iris slowly approached the three. “It’s okay.” she said. “We don’t want to hurt you.” The creatures heard the gentleness in her voice and calmed down as well as the mare. “Do you wanna tell us our name?” Iris asked. “I-It’s Crystal Diamond.” “Well Crystal, I wanna introduce you to my friends, if that’s okay.” Iris asked. Crystal nodded. After Iris introduced Crystal to her family, Crystal calm down and was speaking more clearly, thought it was still in a soft voice like Fluttershys’. “Crystal, how did you end up in that alleyway?” Mai asked. Crystal sighed sadly. “Well it went like this-“ Five months old Crystal was alone in the dark forest crushing and whimpering for her parents but they were nowhere in sight. The bushes near her began to rustle and two wolves came out. One was white while the other was gray. The two wolves approached her and soon eight more wolves cane out of the bush to look at the creature in the basket. The Alpha female nuzzled Baby Crystal, making hr giggle and grab her muzzle. The Alpha female then looked at the Alpha male. She began softly growling. The wolf mom said “We can’t leave her here. Can we take her back to the den and raised her as our own?” the Alpha male looked better his mate and the baby. After a long moment of silence, he nodded. The Alpha female immediately grabbed the blanket with Baby Crystal in it and carried her all the back to the den. Once in the den, the female set her down and Baby Crystal began crawling around looking at the den curiously. The Alpha female only smiled at her little one. Then she headba growling sound coming from the little baby. Baby Crystal began whimpering. She was hungry. The Alpha female went over and gently grabbed Baby Crystal and brought her to a corner of the den. She set her down and the baby smelled the milk. Baby Crystal crawled to one of her mipples and began suckling just like a newborn wolf pup. The Alpha male cane in and sat down next to his wife and they both nuzzled each other and looked at Baby Crystal “From that day, my wolf mom and day cared for me until they said that I was old enough to stroke out on my own. So I wandered until I came here and found the alleyway. And then you all found me.” When she was finished everybody was shicked and Pinkie and Hiro were crying. “That’s the sweetest and saddest story I ever heard!” they both sobbed. The rest were amazed by Crystals’ backstory. “Sounds like you have an intriguing backstory Crystal Diamond.” Celestia said. Crystal blushed. “So have you ever used your magic and flown before?” Twilight asked. “Actually, I never did.” Crystal replied. After a moment of silence, Akari said, “So in the eighteen years you’ve been alive, you’ve never used your magic or flown in your life!” She asked. Crystal nodded fearfully. “Easy Kars, you're scaring her.” Chi said. Akari calmed down and apologized and then Queen Celestia approached. “Crystal, would you like to attend Harmony High with Iris and her friends?” she asked. Iris and her friends gasped in surprise. “Really?” Iris asked. Celestia nodded. “But will she be okay?” Hiro asked. “I mean she’s been raised by wolves all her life. Is she really ready for human society?” “She will have you children there to guide her.” Queen Leilani reassured. “O-Okay, I guess I could give it a try.” Crystal replied slowly. Iris and her friends cheered. Now they have a new friend and schoolmate.
A Powerful Magic SparkThe next morning, Crystal was all clean and set for her first day of high school. She was warring a pink shirt with blue stripes and she was wearing jeans and purple sneakers. Crystal exited the castle and saw her new friends. “Hey Crystal, you ready for your first day of school?” Chi asked. “I-I guess so.” Crystal replied. Hiro patted her on the back gently, “Don't worry we won’t let anything happen to you.” Hiro reassured. Jewel smiled a little and the eight friends went off to Harmony High, a school where all kinds of creatures and benders come to master their skills. They all entered their bending and magic class. The teachers was a middle-aged man with short, black hair and he looked really intimidating. He wore a police-like outfit. “Alright students today we have a new student joinin is today. Everybody please welcome, Crystal Diamond.” Crystal just waved her hand shyly and kept her head down. “Now we will begin the day with sparring practice.” The teacher paired Mai with Hiro, Akari with Iris Chi with Gallent Seed and Nori was paired up with a another water bender. “Crystal, you will be paired with Raksha.” the teacher said. Everybody in the room gasped in horror. “W-Who’s Raksha?” Crystal stuttered. “She’s the meanest and strongest air bender in the whole school.” Chi replied. Crystal looked around and saw quickly found Raksha. She was dressed like a gangster with a bandana around her head, a leather jacket and pants and all black sneakers. Raksha layed her eyes on Crystal. “Ahhh, another opponent, huh?” she said. “Let’s see if you’re a challenge unlike my last partner.” Crystal just gulped and her legs shook furiously. “Let’s get this over with.” Raksha said as she charge forth. Meanwhile, Crystal friends had finished their sparring practice and were busy praising each other when they heard a grunt. Turning they saw Crystal and Raksha sparring and Crystal losing badly. She kept dodging all of Rakshas’ attacks and trying to keep her distance from her. “What’s wrong? Scared?” Raksha taunted. Crystal recived another punch from Raksha, sending her to the ground. Raksha then used her air bending and made a tornado that lifted Crystal into the air. She then slammed it hard onto the ground and Crystal was just lying there. “Crystal!” Iris cried. Raksha walked right in front of Crystal, who struggled to get up again but she was too injured to do so. “Pathetic.” That was the last thing Crystal heard before everything went black. Crystal’seye fluttered open and she was greeted by seven blurs in front of her. “I think she’s coming too.” One blur said. When her’ vision cleared, she saw Iris and her friends at her bedside. “Guys?” she whispered. “Easy Crystal, you’re still injured.” Gallent said. “What happened?” Crystal asked. “You got your butt kicked by Raksha in front of the whole class.” Hiro said bluntly earning a hit on the head by his sister. “You’re in the nurses’ office now.” Nori said. “You just need some time recover and you’ll be fine.” Crystal had a miserable look on her face. She suddenly got up and she headed towards the door. “Crystal! Where are you going?” Chi asked. Crystal picked up her backpack and said in a defeated voice. “Home.” She then exited the nurses’ office and the school and went back to Iris’ Castle. When they friends returned to Iris’s home they were greeted by their folks. “Children what happened?” Leilani asked. “Yeah. Crystal just walked in her looking really really sad and she just went into her room.” Rainbow added. “She got beat up by Raksha in class and it.... like it just destroyed her spirit.” Iris said. “She looked so miserable.” “Can we see her?” Nori asked. “Yes.” Celestia replied. The seven friends went into Crystals’ bedroom and Nori slowly opened the door. “Crystal, are you okay?” Gallent aske gently. The room wasn’t pitch black except for the little candlelight on her night stand. Crystals’ creature friends were on her bed looking at her sadly. “Litleo.” “Shinx.” The two pokémon turned and saw the friends. Iris and Akari day on the bed. “Crystal, do you wanna talk about this?” Akari asked. Crystal just looked at her friends and shook her head. “Crystal, we know your distressed about this, but you can’t just quit after the first try.” Iris said. “Why not?” Crystal asked in a emotionless voice. “Cause if you quit, you’ll never be able to improve yourself.” Akari replied. Crystal stayed silent for a momen and asked, “You really think I can improve myself?” Iris and Akari nodded. “Well... I guess I could give it a try.” Iris and Akari smiled and Litleo and Shinx leaped into Crystals’ arms, nuzzling her happily. Crystal laughed. Soon, the three came out of the room and the family was happy to see Crystal smiling again. “Mom, Dad, can you help Crystal with her magic?” Akari asked. “Rainbow can you help Crystal with her flying?” Iris asked. “Of course, honey.” Korra stated. “You bet!” Rainbow said. Soon, everybody was in the front of Thebes castle. “Alright Crystal, first we will start you off with some levitation, a basic skill every unicorn and alicorn knows.” Twilight stated. Flash placed a baseball in front of Crystal. “Now concentrate and left the ball into the air.” he said. Crystal narrowed her eyes and concentrated on the ball. A faint pink magic aura covered her horn and the ball. It began to levitate in the air but it suddenly dropped to the ground and the magic aura vanished. “Oh.” Crystal said sadly. Korra and Twilight came to her side. “It’s okya, Crystal.” Korra reassured. “You just need more time.” Twilight added. Crystal smiled a little at the two. Suddenly... BOOM! A loud explosion occurred in Harmony City! “What was that?!” Mako asked. “I don’t know, but it can’t be good.” Korra replied. The gang raced to city hall and saw the problem; a large creature was wrecking the place! It stood on four legs with a large frills cover in horns and it had a horn nose and its skin was green and yellow. (Like this) “What is that thing?” Hiro asked. “A Styracosaurus!” Crystal replied. “A What?” Iris asked. “A Styracosaurus, it’s a dinosaur that lived in the Mesozoic Era.” Crystal replied. The dinosaur roared and continuously stomped the ground. The people ran away in fear. Crystal took a good look at the dinosaur and noticed that it’s eyes were red instead of yellow! Crystal slowly began walking towards the dinosaur. “Crystal! What are you doing!” Iris cried. “Don’t go near it!” Korra added. “It’s dangerous!” The Styracosaurus noticed Crystal walking toward sit and it growled, pointing it’s 2 feet long horn at her. “Easy girl, easy.” Crystal soothed. “I’m not going to hurt you. I just want to help.” The Styracosaurus growled softly and it looked to be calming down. “That’s it girl.” Crystal said. She placed a hand on the dinosaurs’ nose horn and just then her eye ya turned white as well as he dinossurs’! “What’s going on!” Mai asked. Then they saw a dark smoke coming out from the dinosaur and into the eh air and then Crystal's horn glowed and it blasted the smoke, causing it to evaporate! “Incredible!” Leilani cried. When it was done, Crystal and the dinosaurs’ eyes returned to normal. Crystal was a little woozy but that went away when the Styracosaurus licked her face. “Hahaha! Aww, your welcome.” Crystal said. Crystal turned around and saw the shocked expressions of everybody around her. “Ummm.... hi.” she said with a nervous smile. Everybody went back to the palace... well the dinosaur stayed outside and just looked through a window. “Okay so… what just happened?!” Mako asked. “Crystal walked up to the dinosaur, touched it and remove the evil from it. Weren’t you paying attention?” Pinkie asked. Mako gave her a straight look. “In order to do something like that, Crystal must have powerful magic.” Luna replied. “But her magic must be different from ours.” Korra added. “I believe I can explain.” Everybody turned around and saw Tenzin standing there. “When did you get in here?!” Hiro asked. Tenzin chuckled. “Another one of my tricks.” he said. “Tenzin, do you know something about Crystals’ magic?” Iris asked. “I do.” he said. “Crystal’s magic is far more powerful than your alicorn magic. Crystal has Animal Magic.” “What’s Animal Magic?” Nori asked. “Animal Magic, is a very rare and powerful type of magic that allows the user to control and summon all kinds of animals.” Tenin explained. “And when she bends, the elements she uses changes into an animal that lives in the same environmental element.” “Like these two and the dinosaur?” Rainbow asked, referring to Litleo, Shinx and Styracosaurus. “Them and many more animals.” Tenzin replied. A moment of silence fell. “Old timer say what?” Akari said. Everybody was amazed and shocked. “Sounds like she’s a very special alicorn.” Iris commented. Crystal blushed. “But beware, with powerful magic like that you can bet someone may try to take it away from you.” Tenzin warned. “Don’t worry, we won’t let anything happen to her.” Mai promised. The others nodded as well. “Well, ow that that’s settled how about some more magic-“ Korra started but was cut off by Rainbow Dash. “-and flight-“ she said. “-training?” Korra replied. Crystal nodded her head. That afternoon, Twilight and the rest of the gang were once agin in front of the castle. Styracosaurus was there too. “Now try it again Crystal.” Crystal concentrated and a pink aura cane around her horn again and the ball. The baseball lifted into the air and stayed there! “Alright Crystal!” Hiro cried. “Yeah.” Gallent added. Crystal levitated the ball over to Twilight. “Great, now lets work on transfiguration spells.” Twilight stated. Crystal tilted her head to the side. “What’s transfiguration?” she asked. “It’s when you use your magic and turn on object into something else.” Iris explained. “Okay.” Twilight place three cups in front of Crystal. “Now turn these cups into something else.” Twilight said. Crystal concentrated and her horn glowed pink and blaste one of the cups turning into a..... puppy! “PUPPY!” Gallent squealed. He raced over to the puppy and picked up. “You are so cute.” he cooed. The puppy barked and licked his face,making him laugh. “Impressive!” Korra said with a proud smile. Crystal smiled and blushed. “Now do it two more times.” Twilight ordered. Crystal blasted the other two cups turning them into a kitten and a cat. “Awesome!” Hiro said. “Wicked!” Chi added. “Gorgeous!” Nori added. “Excellent work!” Korra said walking over to the two. “Your a fast learner, Crystal.” she praised. Crystal giggled. “Thank you.” “Now let’s work on your flight practice.” Rainbow said. But just befor they could start, a black blur rushed through the scene and grabbed Crystal! “AAAAAHHHHHH!” she screamed in total fear. “Crystal!” Iris cried out. “After it!” Mako said. Everybody, including Styracosaurus, chased after the creature. The creature took Jewel a forest near the palace. Once it was far from civilization, it dropped Crystal onto the ground and spit green goop onto her hand and horn. Crystal shuddered nervously. “I have her my Queen.” the creature said. “Excellent.” a sinister voice said behind Crystal. Crystal looked behind her and saw a humanoid incest-like pony with a long horn and holes in her legs. “W-Who are you?” Crystal squeaked. “Why little pony. I’m Queen Chrysalis, queen of the changeling wolves.” she replied. “What are g-gonna do with me?” Crystal asked in fear. “Oh, nothing. I’m just going to steal your magic and use it for myself.” she replied. Crystal gulped nervously. Chrysalis chuckled softly as she lit her horn but before she could perform the spell. A blast of fire came in between her and Crystal, forcing her back. The changeling wolf growled at who did it. They saw the gang with Litleo, Shinx and Styracosaurus in the front. “Leave our friend alone, Chrysalis!” Korra yelled. “Guys!” Crystal cried in relief. “Don’t worry Crystal, we’ll save you!” Iris called. Chrysalis scoffed, “If you want the alicorn you’ll have to defeat my wolves first.” she said. “Litleo!” “Shinx!” Litleo and Shinx took the challenge headbon, and raced to their owner. The changeling wolf lunged at them but Litleo unleashed Flamethrower and blasted the wolf far away. Shinx used Bite and bit right through the goop, setting Crystal free. Korra and Mako shortly fought with Chrysalis and she ran away. “I’LL GET THAT ALICORN IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO!” She bellowed as she flew off into the forest. When she was gone, everybody went to check on Crystal. “Crystal, darling, are you okay?” Rairty asked. Crystal, terribly frightened by the incident, suddenly burst into tears. Iris and her friends hugged Crystal and her pokémon nuzzled her for comfort. The Styracosaurus did the same. “Shhh.... it’s okay Crystal, we’re here. We got you.” Hiro soothed. Crystal just continued crying heavily from the experience. Hours later, Crystal was sleeping in her bed with Litleo and a Shinx watching over her. She cried herself to sleep and the others were in the main room discussing what happened. “What do you think that bug queen wants with Crystal’s magic?” Bolin asked. “Porobably sonething no good.” Asami replied. “Indeed. What ever Chrysalis wants to do with Crystal’s magic, it is it good and may have disastrous consequences.” Leilani said. “So we have to protect Crystal from that big. Easy peasy.” Chi replied. “I’m afraid that’s where you’re wrong Chi.” Nova said. “Chrysalis is very sneaky and she will do anything to get Crystals’ magic.” Everybody agreed to that. “So what do we do?” Iris asked, feeling worried about her friend. “We will have to keep a vigilante for Chrysalis while we help Crystals’ learn and grow, magic and social wise.” Luna replied. Everybody nodded bowed to protect Crystal with everything they’ve got.
Rematch with New PowersThe next day, Crystal woke up and was greeted by Litleo and Shinx. “Hey you guys.” she greeted. “Litleo?” “Shinx?” “I’m okay you guys, really.” Crystal reassured with a small smile. Crystal got out of her bed and went to get dress. After about 15 minutes, she went to the kitchen and saw Korra and Mako making breakfast. “Hi Crystal,” Korra greeted. “How are you feeling?” “I’m okay, Korra.” Crystal replied. “Are you sure?” Mako asked. Crystal nodded. Korra gave Crystal her plate. It had bacon and eggs on it. “Thank you.” Crystal sat down at the table and ate her breakfast when Iris came in. “Hi Mom and Dad.” she greeted. “Hi honey.” Mako replied. “Hi Crystal, you okay?” Iris asked. “I’m okay, Iris. I promise.” Crystal replied. Iris smiled and Mako handed Iris her plate and the two girls finished their plates and went off to school. At the entrance, they met up with their friends. “Hey guys!” Chi called. The two girls cane over. “Hi.” Iris replied. “Are you feeling okay, Crystal?” Nori asked. Crystal nodded and she went int the school followed by her friends. They went to there class. “Alright class today we will continue our sparring practice. You will have the same partners as last time.” the teacher said. That made Iris and her friend really worried. All the students went off with their partners and began sparring. Crys found Raksha again. “Back for another beating huh?” Raksha taunted. Crystal didn’t reply. “Suit yourself.” Raksha rushed towards Crystal and she dodged and surprisingly kicked her! “Ugh. So you do have some Fight in you.” Raksha said. She charged Crystal again but she kept high in the air and spin-kicked Raksha and she crashed into a wall. ”So far, so good.” Crystal thought. Raksha got up and growled at Crystal. “Alright, you’re dead now!” Raksha made an air tornado with her hands and she launched it at Crystal. Crystal stood her ground and she was soon consumed by the tornado. ”I won’t give up. I won’t give up!” Crystal thought constantly. Raksha smirked, thinking Crystal was finished but she got her answer when she began to see a ball of light coming from inside the tornado! The air spread all over the room and the tornado was gone. The most shocking thing about it was that Crystal was still standing and glowing! “What the heck! That’s my strongest attack! How could you defeat it?!” Raksha cried in shock. Crystal didn't answer. Instead she thrusted her hand outwards and a lot of wind canned out of it and the wind turned into a eagle! “What!” Raksha cried. The eagle squawked and dove at Raksha, it clawed her with it’s claws and rammed her into the wall again. Raksha got up again and charged the eagle. The eagle sqwacked and flapped it’s wings, creating large pulses of wind. The wind blasted Rakasha and she fell the ground unconscious. Crystal had won! The wind eagle returned to Crystals’ side, sqwaked and disappeared. Crystal turned around and saw every children in class, including her friends looking at her with shocked and amazed expressions. “Ummm.... hi.” Crystal said. After the last bell, the eight friends walked by out of the school and to the palace. “Crystal, how did you do that?” Chi asked. “Yeah. That... was... AMAZING!” Hiro said. Crystal blushed and replied, “I don’t know, I was just thinking about never giving up and then I started glowing.” “Interesting.” Iris said. The gang arrived at the palace and they were greeted by their parents and their other friends. “Children what happened?” Leilani asked. “We sensed a powerful magic burst coming from the school.” Korra said. “That’s was Crystal.” Akari replied. From there, the children explained what happened and when they were done, the adults were shocked. “Crystal released a eagle made of wind?!” Mako asked. “I’m not lying.” Iris replied. The Equestrian queens were amazed as well. “At least we know she has bending powers.” Luna said. “But what about the eagle part?” Mai asked. “I may be combined with her animal magic.” Celestia said. “So Crystal summon animals that have the power of all four elements?” Hiro asked. “AWESOME!” “Yeah!” Akari replied. “However, Crystal will need to learn to tame this new ability through study.” Celestia said. “But we don’t know much about Animal magic, just regular alicorn and unicorn magic.” Iris pointed out. That’s when Tenzin cane into the room. “I may have something that can help.” He said. Everybody turned to him. “Really?” Iris asked. Tenzin nodded and pulled from his cape a thick book titled ”Animal Magic and Bending for Basics” “Well that’s convenient.” Rainbow said. “With this book, Crystal can learn all she needs to know about her animal magic and bending.” Tenzin explained. Crystal took the book and thanked Tenzin. “Well.. you better get started.” Iris said. However before she could open the book.... ROAR! BOOM! A loud sound and crash came from outside. “Again!” Hiro said. The gang raced out and could see from the palace a large sauropod dinosaur was in the middle of Harmony City! It was 33 feet long and 9 feet high. It was yellow and had long spikes on its neck. “What kind of dinosaur is that?” Bolin asked. “That’s an Amargasaurus!” Crystal cried. The Amargasaurus used its neck to smash building some left and right and used ya tail to sob the same thing. “It’s wrecking the city!” Mako cried. “That thing must be stopped!” Luna said. “But how?” Iris asked. She got her answer when she saw Styracosaurus racing into the scene. Styracosaurus rammed the Amargasaurus but the large dinosaur just smacked her away with its neck, sending her into a building, demolishing it completely. “That dinosaur is too strong for it! Styracosaurus needs help!” Crystal cried. Suddenly, her left arms glowed and a strange object appeared on it. The dinosaur bracer had six stones inside one for each dinosaur element; Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Grass and Wind. Next her right hand glowed and more cards appeared. Finally, three lightning move cards appear red as well. “Woah!” Dinosaur cards and move cards.” Crystal said. “Well you better use them.” Hiro said. Styracosaurus couldn’t take more from the huge dinosaur. “Alright.” Crystal slashed the card through the clot saying. “Use Lighting Spear!” Styracosaurus roared and charged the Amargasaurus it made contact and kept high into the air with the dinosaur on its horns. A bolt made of electricity formed and speared the Amargasaurus. It roared in pained and they both landed on the ground. Styracosaurus on four legs and Amargasaurus on its side shaking with electricity. It glowed boy and turned back into a card. And then Styracosaurus turned into a card as well. Crystal caught both the cards and she swiped the Styracosaurus one. The dinosaur turned into its chibi form; it had small numbs for horns and it was green and yellow. “Hey buddy.” Crystal said. The Styracosaurus roared and walked up to Crystal and licked her face. “Aww that tickles!” she cried. “Ahem.” Crystal turned and saw her friends looking at her as well the rest of the city..... again. Crystal smiled nervously. Chibi Styracosaurus, which Crystal named, Spark was playing with Naga, Korras’ polar bear and dog hybrid. The two were getting along great. Meanwhile the others were discussing what happened. “That wa amazing, Crystal!” Bolin said. “I have to agree that was amazing.” Asami agreed. The others added their own compliments to the battle. “Looks like your dinosaurs are more powerful than we thought.” Twilight said. “They hold the same elements that we can bend as well.” Korra added. “So in a way they’re benders themselves.” Akari added. Spark and Naga came in went to their respective owners. “Hehehehe. Hi Spark.” Crystal said. Spark licked Crystal and she smiled. “Now how about we start on your flight training now?” Rainbow asked. Crystal nodded and then everybody headed outside for Crystals’ first lesson.
Flight Lessons and Illness“Alright Crystal, first you need to spread your wings out like mine are now.” Rainbow said. Crystal moved the muscles in her wings and they slowly expanded to full length. “Good.” Rainbow said. “Now start flapping them.” Crystal nodded and began flapping her wings but she wasn’t lifting into the air. “You have to flap them harder.” Rainbow called. Crystal flapped her harder and she began slowly lifting into the air. “Yeah Crystal!” Iris cried. “Now let’s start we moving forward. Just lean forward and keep flapping your wings.” Rainbow said. Crystal did what Rainbow said and she began flying towards her... slowly and steady. “Good. Now onto to steering.” As the days went by Crystal became better at using her wings. Though she couldn’t go as fast as Rainbow yet, she was improving, much to their friend joy. However, Rainbow began to take things a bit too far. She said that they should practice at night as well. Korra and the tigers didn’t like the sound of that because even though Crystal was raised by wolves, who were nocturnal, she pefered to sleep at night. Rainbow said she’ll get use to it in no time. The others weren’t so sure that would happen. One night, it was pouring rain and Rianbow and Crystal were flying over a nearby forest. “R-r-Rainbow are s-s-sure this w-w-was a good i-i-idea?” Crystal asked as she shivered badly in the cold wind and rain. Rainbow didn’t seem bothered the rainstorm at all. “No way! This will help you learn to fly in tough weather.” Rainbow explained. “Let’s get a move on.” Crystal sighed and pushed on. Just then, a huge gust of wind came and blew Crystal off course. “Crystal!” Rainbow cried. She rushed after her. Crystal tried to straighten out but the wind was too strong and she crashed with THUD! Rainbow landed near where we crashed. “Crystal! Are you alright?” she frantically asked. Crystal groaned as she got up slowly. Leaves were all over her body and she was dripping wet and her shivering had grown worse. “C-c-can we g-g-go home?” Crystal asked, hugging herself to keep warm. “Okay.” Rainbow answered. The two walked back home that night. When they entered the castle you can bet Korra, Mako, Iris, Ali, Mika and San were frantic when they saw Crystal covered in dirt and leaves. Korra told her to go get cleaned up and go off to bed immediately. When she went off, Rainbow told them what happened and they scolded her for letting Crystal flying I such dangerous weather. “Sorry, I won’t let something like this happen again.” She promised. The others were glad to hear that. Soon, Crystal was in her bedroom, all cleaned and fast asleep with her pokémon and Spark by her side. The next morning, Crystal woke up with a pounding headache and stuffy nose. She groaned as she rolled on her side trying to get back to sleep. Her movements woke up Litleo, Shinx and Spark. They both looked at their owner confused until she showed them her flustered face. They cried in shock, which altered Iris. She burst into the room. “Guys! What happened?” she asked. When she layed her eyes on Crystal, she gasped in shock. Her hair was all over the place, her nose was bright red and her flustered face was covered in sweat. All in all Crystal looked horrible! “Crystal what happened?” Iris asked. “I don’t... cough cough.... know.” Crystal replied in a congested voice. Iris ran to get her parents and soon they were both in the room. Korra palced a hand on Crystals’ forehead. “You have a high fever.” Korra said. “I think you’ve got the flu.” Crystal sneezed and coughed. “You’ll have to stay home from school for a couple days.” Mako said. Crystal nodded and tried to get back to sleep. “Litleo.” “Shinx.” “Oh, don’t worry you guys, Crystal will be fine in a few days.” Korra reassured. The pokémon nodded. Iris went off to get ready for school while Korra and Mako stayed with Crystal. “Mako, can you go get Crystal some medicine?” Korra asked. Mako nodded and went to the bathroom to get the medicine. Crystal coughed and sneezed and Mako came back with the cold and flu medicine. “Here.” he said. Korra took the bottle from him and opened it and poured a spoonful of medicine. Crystal covered herself in the covers, not wanting to take her medicine. “Come on Crystal, you have to take the medicine.” Korra pleaded. Crystal poked her head from the covers and reluctantly nodded. Korra smiled and fed the spoonful to Crystal. Crystal gagged at the taste of the medicine. Korra and Mako laughed and Crystal gave them a straight look. “Now you get some sleep okay?” Mako said. Crystal nodded and soon dozed off and Korra, Mako, Litleo, Shinx and Spark exited the bedroom. Hours later, Iris and her friends came to the palace. Iris told her friend about Crystal and they all wanted to see her. They went to her bedroom and saw her sleeping peacefully. “She’s cute when she sleeps.” Akari stated. The others chuckled and Iris went over to the bed. "Crystal, wake up." Crystal opened her eyes and saw her friends. "Guys." she said weakly. "What are you.. cough cough.. doing here?" "Iris told us you were sick, so we came to check on you." Gallent stated. Jewel smiled. She was very lucky to have such great friends. Shinx and Litleo punched on the bed and licked Jewel's face. "Don't worry, you two, I'll be fine." Jewel reassured. "Do you need anything?" Gallent asked. "What ever it is, we'll get in a jiffy." Hiro added. Jewel shook her head. "I'll think I'll just rest." she said. "Okay." Iris replied. "We'll let you rest." Iris and her friends left the room and Jewel fell asleep with Shinx and Litleo by her side. Two days passed until Jewel's cold finally left her. Shinx and Litleo were very happy to see their owner up and running again. Her friends got the work that she missed over the days and she completed all of it and handed it in on the day she came back. "I'm glad you're better, Jewel." Mai stated. "Yeah." Gallent added. "We were worried about you." Jewel smiled at her friends. "Well, I'm better now." Iris and her friends hugged their friend and she giggled. They were just happy to have Jewel healthy again.
