Little Pony Legend (Rewrite): New Bender
Magic and Bending Training
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCrystal was in the front of the palace with Korra. They were on either side of the area. The rest of the their friends were sitting on the side lines to watch. "Alright Crystal, we'll start with airbending, alright?" Korra called. "Alright." Crystal replied.
Korra started by making a small ball of wind in her hands and tossing it into the air where it dispersed. "Now, you're turn."
Crystal took a deep breath and concentrated. She created a small ball of wind in her hands like Korra, but she made it into the shape of an eagle. She tossed it into the air, where it grew larger and larger until it was the size of a fully grown eagle. "Woah!" Chi gasped.
"Incredible!" Twilight added.
Crystal moved her hands and arms, making the eagle move up and down in the air until she brought it to her side and it dispersed. Crystal opened her eyes, "How'd I do?"
Seeing the shocked expressions of her friends and teacher, "... Did I do well?"
Korra snapped back to her senses, "Yeah, yeah, you did great for you first try." Crystal smiled. "Now, let's continue."
As the airbending lessons prgressed, Crystal showed great potential; making a large pegasus and making it blast Korra with a strong gust of wind and makiing a large tornado as well. Korra also touched on her Animal Magic as well.
"Okay, Crystal, I want you to attack me using your airbending and Animal Magic, alright?" Korra inquired.
"Okay." Crystal glowed and changed into a snowy white, pegasus. Korra blasted her with a gust of wind, knocking Crystal back, but she used it to fly high into the air. Crystal dove towards Korra, spinning downwards, encasing herself in wind. At the last second, she launched the attack at Korra, sending her flying. Korra flipped over and landed on her feet. "Not bad."
Crystal landed and snorted. "I'm ready for more."
Crystal galloped towards Korra with her wings glowing. She tired slashed Korra with her wings, but Korra blocked them and retaliated with a strong punch of wind to Crystal's side. Crystal skidded back and brushed the damage off. Taking to sky once more, Crystal rushed Korra in a burst of speed. Korra leaped over the attack and actually landed on Crystal's back!
Crystal neighed in shock and tried to buck Korra off but the girl wouldn't let go of her target. Korra began making a ball of wind in her hands, planning to send Crystal crashing into the ground, however, Crystal had another idea. She dove towards the ground at a blinding speed. "What is she up to?" Rainbow asked.
"Beats me." Applejack replied. Nearing the ground, Korra was almost done her attack. At the last second, Crystal came to a sudden halt, throwing Korra off of her back and she fell to the ground, canceling the attack. "What the-?!" Mako said.
"Of course, Crystal knew when Korra does her wind ball attack she's not holding onto her; she used that to her advantage to stop Korra from using a close range attack." Twilight explained.
Crystal landed on the floor as Korra got up, panting. "Alright Crystal, that's enough for today." Crystal glowed and changed back into her self. The two went over to the others. "That was awesome, Crystal!" Rainbow cried.
"Yeah, you sure know how to battle." Nova added.
"You're a fast learner that's for sure." Sunburst claimed. Crystal smiled at the compliments, "Thank you."
Unknown by everyone, someone was watching them. Her proportions were that of a sickly skinny woman, her arms and legs practically bones with insect-like hairs sticking out, and her feet only had two toes. Her entire skin was black, with gray spots, resembling either freckles or sickly spots. Her hair was long and teal, wet looking with holes and pieces that draped over her face and shoulders. She wore a green, dark turquoise ragged one shoulder dress that reached her knees and a green sash around her waist. Behind her back were a pair of torn up insect wings.
On her forehead grew a twisted, half broken horn as she adjusted her head and gave her guests a sly, devilish grin, showcasing her sharp fangs. Her name was Queen Chrysalis, leader of the changelings.
She had seen everything from her hiding place from a distance and she was interested in this new alicorn's abilities. "So, there's a new alicorn in town huh? With powerful magic too, I must have it." she eyed Iris and her friends. "And I know just how I'm gonna get it."
From behind her were three changeling wolves. "You know what to do my babies." The wolves snarled and disappeared into the shadows.
After training, Iris and her friends were walking through Harmony City with Sapphire and her pokemon friends. "You did really well in training, Crystal." Iris praised.
"Yeah, you're gonna kick major butt in the future with your skills." Chi, in her anthro form, added.
"Hehe, thanks you guys." Crystal said. Suddenly, three changeling wolves appeared on the scene and quickly snatched Iris and her friends, grabbing them by their waists. "Wah! Hey! Ugh! Gah! Ow! Ah!"
If you don't know what they look like, picture some starving wolves (skinny legs and exposed rib cages and all. Horrible, I know), and replace the ribs with the shells, holes on their legs and bony tails with almost skeletal-like heads and razor sharp fangs, dripping with green goop.
"Guys!" Crystal cried. The wolves turned to her with her friends in their mouths. One wolf growled, "You want the back then meet out Queen at the City Hall, alicorn." With that, the small pack dashed away quickly. Crystal dashed back to the palace. "Everyone! Everyone!"
The gang immediately came at the sound of her call. "What's wrong Crystal? And where are Iris and the other?" Mako asked.
"Some were skinny wolves came and snatched them up."
The gang gasped. "They said if you want to see them again meet our Queen at City Hall." Korra clenched her fists, knowing whose responsible for the kidnappings. "Queen Chrysalis." he grumbled.
"Who is she?" Crystal asked.
"She's a big meanie pants who wants to steal the love from every creature." Pinkie explained. "But what does she want with Iris and the others?"
"No time for that Pinkie, we have to save the kids." Rainbow said.
"Right, let's go." Leilani added. Everybody dashed out of the palace, including Deino, Dratini and Mareep. They all went to City Hall and sure enough there was the changeling queen surrounded by her changeling wolves. The changeling wolves had also captured a few civilians as well.
Iris and her friends were all tied up in the changeling wolves slime. "You won't get away with this, Chrysalis!" Iris said.
Chrysalis laughed. "Oh yes I will, once that little alicorn hands over her magic, I'll be able to takeover Equestria and the Spirit World."
"Crystal will never give up her magic!" Chi exclaimed.
"We'll see."
"Chrysalis!" a voice called.
Chrysalis turned and saw the royal family and Crystal with her pokemon. "Let our kids go, now!" Twilight demanded.
"Not until, the little alicorn gives up her magic." Chrysalis bargained.
"No way, creep." San said. "Let our little sister and her friends go!"
"Give me her magic then." That's when Crystal stepped forth, "I'll give you my magic, if you can beat me in a battle, bug queen." she challenged. The royal family, lizard spirit siblings, Iris and her friends and the civilians all gasped. Crystal was challenging Chrysalis to a battle for her magic.
Chrysalis smirked. "Deal." The two stood on opposite side of the street, staring each other down. Korra and the others stood back a little.
"Draw." Chrysalis said. She charged Crystal, who jumped over her and kicked her in the back. Chrysalis growled and fired her magic at Crystal. She used her own magic to create a barrier around herself and deflected the attack. That's when she glowed and changed into Pikachu once more.
"That's the best you can do?" Chrysalis taunted. She lunged at Crystal whom leaped towards her and smacked her with an Iron Tail Attack, sending her crashing to the ground. She landed on the ground. "Pika Pika." "Is that the best you got?"
The Queen got back up and lunged at her. The two engaged in a close combat fight; Chrysalis trying to punch Crystal while she's using Iron Tail to block. That's when Crystal unleashed Thunderbolt at close range, sending the Queen flying back and into the stairs of city hall. Getting up once again, Chrysalis decided to up the anty. "Changeling Wolves, Attack her!"
The wolves snarled and charged Crystal. Leaping into the air once more, she changed into another Pokemon. This one resembled that of a wolf. Name; Lycanroc, Midday Form.

Crystal howled and launched rocks from her tail, blasting some of the wolves back. Crystal landed on the ground and charged the wolves at blinding speeds, easily knocking them to the ground. Finally, she jumped into the air and made large rocks appear around her. She launched them at the wolves, crushing them easily. Chrysalis growled.
"She's incredible!" Bolin cried.
"Yeah, she's kicking their butts!" Korra added. The other were very impressed with Crystal's battling skills.
Crystal approached Chrysalis and snarled at her. Knowing she couldn't win this fight she decided to retreat. "Wolves, fall back!" The wolves listen to their Queen and rallied around her. "This isn't over yet, Crystal. I'll get that magic!" she declared. With that, she and the wolves disappeared.
Crystal went over to her friends and cut the ropes with her claws. Iris and Akari hugged her. "Thanks, Crystal, you saved us." Akari praised.
Crystal happily liked the two girls, making them laugh. Mai and Hiro released the other captured people. Crystal changed back into her human self and once again she was greeted by the cheers and applause from the civilians. Korra and the others came up to her. "Way'd a go, Crystal!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"You beat the stuffing out of threat Queen and her wolves." Mako added.
"You sure showed her." Ali said.
Crystal smiled and blushed at the praises she was getting. That's when everybody heard a whimper coming from one of the rocks. "What's that?" Gallent asked. Crystal went to it and saw it was one of the changeling wolves. The wolf was whimpering in pain. "Poor thing, let me get this off of you." Crystal used her magic to lift the rock and make is disappeared. Looking at the wolf, she saw the front, right paw was swollen and bleeding.
"Awwww." Crystal bend down to touch the wolf. "Crystal don't it's dangerous!" Iris cried, but she didn't. She touched the wolf on it's face and amazingly, the wolf actually leaned into her touch. "Well I'll be darn." Applejack said.
"Don't worry, I'll get you all fixed up." Crystal said to the wolf. The wolf looked at her and tilted her head. Crystal carefully lifted the wolf up and walked back to the palace. "Poor thing, you must be hungry, I'll get you some food too."
All her friends, including the royal family and the lizard spirit siblings were just staring with small pupils and small straight mouths. They all just watched as Crystal walked off, leaving them still trying to process what thy just witness. "What just happened?" Mako asked.
"Crystal just befriended a changeling wolf." Hiro answered.
