Episode 5: A Mother's Love

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was a warm and peaceful night in the Everfree Forest. The wind was blowing smoothly. A dinosaur card was following in the wind as well. It was blown behind Fluttershy's cottage. The card landed on the grass and glowed green. It changed into a hardosaur dinosaur. It looked around and saw nothing but the cottage, but she wasn't worried about that. Next, to her were two large eggs; her nest. The dinosaur decided to go out and find something to eat. Quietly getting up she walked away from the nest, leaving her eggs behind.

The next morning, Sapphire, Lightning and his friends were at the Cake's Cafe for some breakfast. Sapphire's chibi dinosaurs were present as well. Sapphire named the rest of her dinosaurs.

The Styracosaurus: Blitz

The Amargasaurus: Storm

The Fukuisaurus; Blossom

The Allosaurus: Swift

The Stegosaurus: Quake

The Deionychus: Deino, Dana and Dano

The Cake's were more than happy to give the herbivores some salads while they gave the carnivores some steak for breakfast. That's when Fluttershy burst into the room, out of breath. "Guys... come.. quick!"

"What is it, Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked.

"No.. time!" Not wanting to waste another second the gang followed Fluttershy to her cottage where Rhymey was waiting. Moving to the back of the cottage the gang gasped. "Are those eggs?" Lightning questioned.

"Yeah. It is, but where did it come from?" Pinkie added.

"That's is unclear
Me and Fluttershy found them here." Rhymey replied.

Starla crouched down near the eggs, "Well we can't just leave them here. Let's take them to their majesties. That way they'll be safe."

The team agreed but Sapphire was unsure. "Are you sure we should take them back with us? What if the mother comes back looking for her eggs?"

Rainbow scoffed. "I'm sure she won't be upset with us." Sapphire was still not sure if they should take the eggs, but she complied. Fluttershy and Krysta carefully picked up the eggs and the team flew to New Canterlot.

Soon, the eggs were brought to the nursery in the palace. "Do you have any idea whose eggs these are?" Grand Ruler asked.

"No, but based on the size they must be... dinosaur eggs." Sapphire replied.

"DINOSAUR EGGS!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Yes. Dinosaurs were also known to lay eggs." Fluttershy went over to the eggs, "But what dinosaur layed these eggs?"

"We'll have to wait until they hatch, I guess." Lightning replied. "For now, let's get back on patrol." The team nodded and they headed off to start their patrols.

Back at the cottage, the mother dinosaur returned to her nesting site. When she saw her eggs missing she was both shocked and worried. She looked around the area, but she didn't see any sign of her eggs. She roared frantically and in anger. The animals were terrified of the dinosaur's newfound rage. The dinosaur saw New Ponyville in the distance.

She needed to find her eggs and nothing and no one was going to stand in her way.


At the Alpha Gang headquarters, the Alpha Scanner's picked up something. "Mark, Henry, Dr Z, there's another dinosaur!" Ursula reported.

"Well then go and get it. AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL TO GET THAT DINOSAUR CARD!' Dr. Z screamed.

Yes, sir!" The minions responded and they raced off.


Meanwhile, Sapphire was finished her rounds and was heading back to her castle when she saw a white bunny dashing towards her in a panic. She recognized the bunny, "Angel Bunny? What's wrong?" The bunny was waving it's arms and jumping up and down frantically. Just then, her Dino Bracer began beeping. "A Dinosaur!"

Suddenly the ground began shaking and Sapphire saw why. It was indeed a dinosaur. It was 33 feet in length and 8.2 feet in height.

"Woah, A Maiasurua!" The dinosaur was roared and bashing into buildings and smashing the ground. Lightning and the others came onto the scene. "Sapphire, what is that thing?"

"It's a Maiasaura."

"And it really doesn't look happy." Artie claimed. The dinosaur was still looking side-to-side and roaring in anger. "it looks like it's looking for something."

"But what could it be looking for?" Starla asked.

"No time, we've gotta stop that thing!" Lightning stated. He and the team transformed.

"STARFLEET MAGIC!"

"HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!"

"DRAGON POWER!"

Maiasaurua roared and charged the team, whom scattered. Lightning punched the dinosaur in the back while his team attacked the dinosaur.

"STARLIGHT ARROW!"

"LEAF SWARM!"

"COLOR KICK!"

"DRILL QUILL!"

"BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS!"

The attacks made their mark but they seemed to make the Maiasaura even angrier. She roared and threw Lightning off of her back. Roaring with complete rage now, she glowed green and used her front leg to throw dirt into the team's face's.

"Ah! I can't see!" Pinkie cried.

"Me either!" Starla added.

"GUYS HEADS UP!' Sapphire cried. The team looked through their stinging eyes and saw the Maiasura diving towards them.

BOOM!

She smashed the team into the ground. "Guys!" Sapphire cried. The dinosaur roared and walked off, continuing to bash buildings. The team was alive but badly hurt by the dinosaur. The girl's manes were tangled and their suits were dented. "Woah, that was Diving Press!" Knowing her friends couldn't take another attacks like that, she knew she had to figure out what was making Maiasura so angry and she had to find out now!

"Okay, so Fluttershy found the dinosaur eggs and now we have an angered dinosaur... Wait" she gasped when she put the pieces together. "Guys, I'll be back. Keep her busy!" she said as she teleported away. "Easier for her to say." Rainbow groaned.

Sapphire poofed into the nursery and grabbed the two eggs. "Sapphire what are you doing?! You have a dinosaur to stop!" Grand Ruler said, baffled. "I know why Maiasaura is attacking."

"You do?" their majesties asked in unison. "Yes, the eggs that Fluttershy found... are her eggs!"

"HER EGGS!"

"Yes, only a mother would be so aggressive when it came to defending her young. Like you two with Castor and Leilani." Sapphire made her way to the doorway. "I have to get these eggs to her before she kills someone."

Trusting her and knowing it would be the only way to stop the raging mother, their majesties let her go ahead. "Be careful." Celestia warned.

Sapphire nodded and burst out of the window. "I hope I'm not too late."


Lightning and the team were struggling to keep Maiasaura from destroying New Ponyville. "She just won't stop!" Buddy exclaimed. "There's gotta be something she's after to make her this aggressive. But what?"

"Maiasaura!" a voice called.

The team and Maiasaura looked and saw Sapphire holding the two eggs.

"Are these what you want?" she asked, holding the eggs in the air.

Seeing her eggs, Maiasaura roared and charged towards Sapphire. "Sapphire, get out of the way!" Applejack cried. Maiasaura was getting closer! Sapphire held out the eggs towards her.

"Oh, I can't look!" Fluttershy whimpered, covering her eyes. At the last second, Maiasaura stopped and rubbed the eggs affectionately.

"What?" Lightning whispered. Sapphire placed the eggs on the ground and carefully backed away from the dinosaur mother. "There, back together again." she said. Maiasaura looked at her and nuzzled her as if saying 'Thank you.'

Sapphire smiled at the mother dinosaur. "You're welcome." she walked away, giving the mother and her young some space. Lightning and the others came to her. "Okay, what's going on here?" Rainbow asked, completely confused.

"Those eggs Fluttershy found, were Maiasaura eggs."

"Wait, you mean-?" Buddy started.

"Maiasaura was angry because she didn't know where her eggs were, making her frantic to find them. She was willing to fight anything and everything to get her eggs back. Once I figured that out I had to get her eggs to her." Hearing that made the team fell guilty especially Fluttershy. She unknowing took a egg from it's mother and New Ponyville paid the price. "Hey now, you didn't know Fluttershy." Sapphire reassured.

"But it's my fault she was angry in the first place." she sobbed.

Rhymey comforted his girlfriend as the rest looked on with pity. Suddenly Terry appeared on the scene and roared at Maiasura. "Terry!" Sapphire cried.

Maiasaura got up quickly and roared at the T'rex. "We'll take that dinosaur and that egg thank you very much." Ursula claimed and she and the other appeared.

"No way, old lady." Sapphire stated.

"How dare you call mean old lady!" Ursula cried as Zander and Ed held her back.

Terry pushed Maiasaura away from the eggs and tried to eat them, but the mother wasn't going to let that happen. Roaring in anger, she rammed Terry away, sending him crashing to the ground. "Come Blitz, we have to help Maiasaura." She turned Blitz into a card.

STARFLEET SLASH, STYRACOSAURUS, CHARGE!"

Blitz changed into his battle mode and ran onto the scene. Terry lunged Maiasaura again but Blitz knocked him away. Maiasaura roared again and glowed green. Kicking dirt into Terry's face, distracting him, she leaped high into the air and dove onto Terry's neck, making him roar in pain. "Wow, that thing just hit Terry with a diving press!" Ed said.

"Alright then, Terry, Neck Crusher!"

Ursula slashed the card and Terry charged Maiasura again. Placing his head underneath her, he lifted her into the air and smacked her with his tail. "Maiasaura!" Sapphire cried. She crashed on the ground and roared in pain. Terry moved closer to her, ready to finish her off, but once again Blitz rammed him away and stood guard over her.

Suddenly, a little roar was heard. "What was that?" Lightning asked.

The little roars were heard again and again. Maiasaura roared and looked at her nest. Fluttershy gasped. "Look!"

Looking at the nest, the team saw two baby Maiasauras.

"The eggs hatch! How adorable!" Rarity cooed.

"Terry, forget the Maiasaura, attack the little ones!" Ursula ordered. Terry roared and rushed towards them. "No, he's gonna hurt them!" Pinkie cried.

"Not on my watch!" Sapphire took out a move card. "LIGHTNING SPEAR!"

Blitz roared, flowing with lighting. He rushed to Terry and knocked him into the air. Blitz leaped high and pierced Terry with his horn creating a spear made of lightning. "Awesome!" Rainbow cried.

Blitz landed on the ground, while Terry crashed and twitched from the attack.

(Like this)

He glowed red and turned back into a card. Blitz roared in victory. The Alpha Gang growled. "We'll get you next time!" Ursula stated. The three heard footsteps behind them and were casted in a large shadow. Turning around they saw the angry mother Maiasaurua. It roared at them, they screamed and ran away.

"You may have beaten us this time pipsqueak but we'll be back!" Ursula added.

Once they were gone, Sapphire returned Blitz to his card and his chibi form. The baby Maiasuras walked over to their mother whom layed down next to them. The mother licked the babies as the team watched their happy reunion. Suddenly, Sapphire glowed green and she could hear a voice. "Please send us back. Back to where we came from."

"Sapphire what is it?" Artie asked.

"The Maiasaura, it's talking to me through the stone."

"It is?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"We want to go back home... please?" Sapphire smiled. "I can do that, Maiasaura."

She pressed the button and the Maiasaura and the babies glowed green and were turned back into cards. Sapphire went over to picked up the cards, smiling happily now. A mother and her children happily reunited.


They reported to the palace and told their majesties what happened. "You saw them hatch!" Celestia exclaimed. "Oh come on!"

"Don't worry, you majesty, we still have one little baby dinosaur." Sapphire said, referring to chibi Blitz.

"Yes, I suppose."

"So you hear the dinosaurs voice through the stone?" Grand Ruler cut in. Sapphire nodded. "She said she wanted to go back home."

"Interesting."

"Looks like there's more to these stones than we thought." Lightning said.

"But how were they able to talk to Sapphire?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, Professor Brain did they they were made from the spirits of all the dinosaurs, so maybe that includes their thoughts too." Artie suggested.

"Perhaps. We'll have to look more into this." Celestia said.

"Yeah. But for now, we have another dinosaur saved." Pinkie said. "You mean three dinosaurs?" Sapphire corrected.

"Whatever." The gang all shared a laugh as Sapphire rolled her eyes. She looked at the card in her hand. "Don't worry you three, you're safe now. Welcome to Starfleet." she hugged the card close to her chest with a loving smile on her face.
