Chapters My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: Season 2 (Rewrite)
Episode 1: Prehistoric Discovery
The team were all in the throne room with their rulers; Grand Ruler Celesto and Queen Celestia.
"So any sign of danger so far, Lightning Dawn?" Grand Ruler asked.
"No, Master." he replied.
"Hey Sapphire, how was your training session?" Rainbow asked.
"It was great!' she replied.
"Well that's good." Lightning claimed. Sapphire rolled her eyes. Lightning and the team have also been known to be a little over protective of her. "Relax." Lightning sighed, but suddenly, the warning alarms sounded. "What's going on?" Starla asked.
“Stop those alarms!” shouted Celestia.
Captain Shaina came into the room, “Your majesties! Sensors detect a rouge object headed our way; it’s a meteor!”
“Meteor?!” cried Rarity.
“Prepare to intercept.” said Lightning, but to his surprise, “No need…” said Shaina “Infrared scanning shows it’s unarmed. It has no warhead or explosives of any kind.”
That was most unusual, and everyone looked out the windows and could see the meteor heading straight for the palace grounds.
“Here it comes!” cried Buddy.
CRASH!! That was all that happened, the meteor just plopped into the ground, and it did no real damage at all.
“Send the de-contamination squad.” Grand Ruler ordered.
A squad of ponies wearing special suits marched out to examine the missile and decontaminate it of any radiation or other elements.
“Where did this missile come from do you think?” asked Artie
“We’ll soon find out.” said Rainbow.
As the pony-team worked on the missile, one of the members found a small hatch on the missile and peeked inside; he couldn’t believe his eyes…! Inside were six stones; each with a nature symbol; lightning, wind, grass, fire, water and earth. They also had a small chip shaped like a dinosaur foot.
In addition to the stones, there were also thirteen cards as well. Two each had the same symbol as the stones.
And finally, there were two small devices inside as well.
Soon, all the items were given to their majesties. Everyone was amazed by the cards especially Sapphire. 'Wow, A Styracosaurus, Acrocanthasaurus, Amargasaurus, Stegosaurus, Fukuisaurus, Allosaurus and Deinonychus!"
"But what do these stones do?" Starla asked. "Let's see." Sapphire picked up the six stones and messed with the little chip on them. Just then, the stones began to glow as well as her. "Woah." Rainbow gasped.
"What's happening?" Fluttershy asked in fear.
"I don't know." Sapphire put the stones down except the lightning stone. Looking between the Styracosaurus card and the stone, Sapphire began to think. "I wonder." Picking up the card, she placed the chip on the card and rubbed it. Immediately the card glowed and it changed into a real Styracosaurus. It roared and stared at the ponies.
The ponies freaked and hit behind their majesties. "It- It CAME TO LIFE!" Lightning screamed.
"And it doesn't look happy." Buddy whimpered.
"Sapphire, put that creature back!" Rarity screeched.
"Alright." she replied nonchalantly. She messed with the chip again and the Styracosaurus turned back into a card. A moment of silence passed.
"What just happened?" Pinkie asked.
"A dinosaur just appeared and then turned back into a card." Artie summarized. "Maybe it was a hologram?"
"No way! That dinosaur was real!" Sapphire exclaimed with excitement.
"But how? Cause of the stone?" Applejack said. Even their majesties didn't have a clue about this. "Sapphire wait!" Lightning cried. She was messing with the card and chip again. "That could bring it out again."
"That's alright, I'll just put it back in." She swiped the card across he chip backwards and the card glowed and fell to the ground and changed into a baby Styracosaurus. A chibi form. It looked at her and tilted it head.
"HUH?" Everybody gasped.
"Awww... It's so cute!" Fluttershy cooed. The little dino walked up to Sapphire. "Hey there little guy."
The dino nuzzled her leg. "Okay." Grand Ruler said slowly. "So now we have... dinosaur cards and stones here?"
"Yeah." Lightning went over to the other cards. "What about these other cards?" he asked, referring to the other cards that came with the dinosaur cards. Sapphire came over and looked at them "They look like move cards."
"Move cards? You mean like attacking move cards?" Dyno asked.
"That what they look like." Sapphire replied.
"So what do we do with them?" Starla asked.
"Well, we should have Professor Brain study the stones. Just to be safe." Celestia suggested. The team agreed. "Can I go get Mykan, he'd want to see this too?" Sapphire asked.
"Of course, Sapphire." Grand Ruler replied.
Soon, everybody was present in the lab, including Mykan Stevens; a 19 year old, peach-colored male with short, brown hair and a science prodigy and Sapphire's boyfriend. Princess Luna, Queen Celestia's sister and Grand Ruler's sister-in-law was present as well. Usually she's asleep in her room but she decided to wake up for this.
"So what do you have one the stones, Professor?" Luna asked.
"It appears the stones contain the life essence of all the dinosaurs that have lived."
"Life essence?" Artie asked. "How?"
Mykan thought about that explanation. "Well, on my planet, the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. So what I'm thinking is that somehow their spirits remained and came together to form the stones plates."
"But what about the cards?" Buddy questioned.
"Somehow, someone must have been able to travel back and turn the dinosaurs into cards." Mykan added.
"That would be the closes we can get to an explanation." Celestia agreed. Just then, the alarms sounded again and a loud roars were heard. "What's going on?" Lightning asked. Starla rushed to the window. "Galloping Galaxies! More dinosaurs!"
"WHAT?!" Everybody exclaimed. They rushed to the window and saw for themselves.
Three dinosaurs: A Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus and a Sachina were rampaging through town. They were all black with yellow markings, smashing everything in their path. The civilians were running in a panic and rushing to the nearest shelter. "Oh my goodness!" Fluttershy cried.
"Let's move!" Lightning snapped. The team nodded and they flew out the window. Sapphire looked at the lightning, wind and grass stones. "Can I have these for a second, Professor?"
"Uuh.. sure, but why?"
"I want to test something with these cards and the stones." She placed one of the devices on her pants and the other on her wrist. She pressed a button on the device, sitting on the table. It opened up and revealed an empty space. She placed the three stones inside and then closed the device. She then placed the three move cards into the device on her pants. She turned to their majesties and the Professor, "I'll be back!" and she flew out the window.
"Will she be alright?" Luna asked.
"We just have to hope she and the team will succeed with the dinosaurs." Grand Ruler replied.
Meanwhile, Lightning and the others were blasting the dinosaurs with their attacks.
"STAR SHOWER!"
"DRILL QUILL!"
"PAINT BOMB!"
BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS!"
"VINE WHIP!"
"UNIFORCE!"
The attacks seemed impressive, but the dinosaurs didn't receive much damage from the attacks at all. The dinosaurs roared and the Tyrannosaurs and Spinosaurus tired to bite the ponies, but they zipped out of the way. Even physical moves didn't have much effect. The girls moved in and punched and kicked the dinos, it was affective, however, the T'rex and Spinosaurus simply weren't affected enough and the girls didn't even try to attack the Sachina because when they got close to it, the dino would waved it's tail at them, making them back off.
"These things are tougher than they look." Rainbow grunted.
"None of our attacks make them even flinch!" Artie added. Lightning was already growing annoyed with these dinosaurs. "They have to have some weakness, but what?" Sapphire looked at the cards in her hands. "Let's give this a try." she said.
"DINO-SLASH! STYRACOSAURUS, CHARGE!
ALLOSAURUS, BLEW THEM AWAY!
SPRING UP, FUKUISAURUS!"
(The transformations are like this)
The three dinosaurs landed and roared other dinos. The ponies were amazed the dinosaurs transformation.
"Awesome!" Rainbow stated.
The three dinosaurs charged in. Styracosaurus lunged at the T-Rex, engaging in a small power struggle; ramming each other and smacking each other with their tail. They did this until, it placed it horns underneath it and tossed it into the air! Allosuaurs roared and smacked the Spinosaurs with it's tail, knocking him to the ground and Fukuisaurus leaped over the Sachina and slammed it on it back, sending it some distance away and flipping the dinosaur upside down. "Alright, keep it up you three!" Lightning cheered. Their majesties were watching from the palace's tallest terrace. They were impressed with the dinosaurs strengths.
Sapphire quickly took out her three move cards and slashed them.
"ELECTRIC CHARGE!"
"NINJA ATTACK!"
"METAL WING!"
Lightning clouds came over Styracosaurus and a bolt of lightning struck it. The frill glowed in rainbow colors as it's horns sparked with lightning. It roared and charged the T rex , striking him in the stomach and tossing him through the air. He crashed to the ground and turned back into a card.
(0.19 - 0.39)
Allosaurus roared and rushed towards Spinosaurus. As it did five duplicates of it's self appeared and they all circled Spiny. One-by-one, the duplicates and the real dinosaurs rammed Spiny until he turned back into a card.
Three pterosaurs appeared behind Fukuisaurus, they dove towards Sachnia and they each slashed Tank. She roared in pain and collapsed onto the floor and turned back into a card.
The Alpha Gang were shocked and horrified while the ponies and their majesties were amazed. Styracosaurus, Fukuisaurus and Allosaurus roared in victory. "Alright, you three. Return." She pressed the button and the three turned back into cards. She slashed the cards backwards and the cards turned into chibi forms of the dinosaurs. "Hehe. You three were great." she praised. The dinosaurs cutely roared at Sapphire. "Sapphire!"
She turned around and saw Lightning and the other fluttering down to her. "Hey."
"That was amazing, Sapphire, you beat them in one move!" Rainbow cried, happily.
"Yeah, they beat them in record time." Buddy added.
Lightning smiled at her. He rubbed her dinosaurs heads. "These creatures sure are something alright." Sapphire smiled at them. "They sure are."
"Let's go back to the palace." Artie suggested. The other agreed and soon were in the throne room. Rarity used her magic to create the images from the battle. Their majesties were impressed with the dinosaurs overall power and strength. "It appears these dinosaurs are more powerful than we thought." Grand Ruler said.
"Indeed and there maybe more in our world somewhere. Now we have to find them and secure them." Celestia added. Looks like Starfleet is going on a prehistoric round up.
My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: Season 2 (Rewrite)
In the vast regions of a magical, dimensional universe, the magical world of United Equestria stands tall and proud, after the great wars against the evil Titan and his diabolical demons. Now, all the ponies and creatures alike live together in their new home where peace, law and justice rule. And thanks to the brave legions of the Starfleet force, the streets have been purged of every criminal and every evil.
Every evil except one that is…!
…Chrysalis!!
The evil queen of the Changelings had shown herself again, after the events of the Canterlot Royal Wedding on Equestria of old.
They began to master new powers, and they too had discovered means of genetically alternating their bodies into humanoid shapes to make them stronger and swifter.
Now they were all back to continue their conquest to rule the world and absorb all the love energy to sustain their life forces, and their first and obvious target was the New Crystal Empire, preferably Princess Cadance and Shining Armor.
They attacked and invaded the Crystal Palace without warning and invaded the empire swiftly, taking many of the helpless ponies hostage, including their highnesses, and began to absorb their love energy while at the same time destroy the major cities.
However, Starfleet had spotted the trouble and sounded the alarm, and soon the entire empire was a great big battle area as the brave ponies and their allies began to battle the changelings and drag them into custody rather than destroying them.
However, the entire empire was already a mess from the invasion, and many of the streets and buildings lay in burning ruins. In fact, the only structure left standing was the Crystal Palace itself. The palace where Queen Chrysalis and her remaining Changelings were holding Cadance, Shining armor, and several of the guards hostage to drain their love-energy. While outside, the entire palace was surrounded by battle forces lead by the planet’s rulers. Grand Ruler Celesto-- an alicorn with three golden horns and golden wings. The Commander-in-chief of Starfleet-- His wife, Queen Celestia, co-commander, and her younger sister, Princess Luna…
All three of them instructed the forces to take sides of the palace and ensure no possible means of escape.
While high above the commotion, Chrysalis gazed out the window snickering softly. Then she walked back into the throne room where her hostages lay tied up on the floor, bound by magical green strings she had cast. The poor ponies struggled to break free knowing that if their love energy was drained they would be severely weakened, or possibly even killed.
Chrysalis gazed down at Shining Armor and Cadance “I’m going to especially enjoy seeing the two of you perish!” she hissed at them. Shining Armor angrily glared at her, but it was Cadance who spoke out “You won’t get away with this!”
Chrysalis chuckled. “Really, and just who is going to stop me this time?” She was suddenly interrupted when the throne room doors burst wide open in small explosion. She turned round to see none other than a golden horned alicorn-- Commander Lightning Dawn, Code: AO0C on the front of his armor near the Starfleet insignia-- Grand Ruler Celesto’s apprentice. Standing next to him was his wife, Major Starla Shine, Code: KY1M and by their side was their Lieutenant, Sapphire Sunlight.
They all stood tall and proud, in their battle-armors, and Lightning called out to the evil queen. “In the name of Starfleet, I place you under arrest.”
Chrysalis knew all about Starfleet, and the fact that Lightning was still incapable of using ordinary magic like most alicorns. She glared at him angrily and hissed “You don’t know what you’re up against!”
“You don’t know what you’re up against Chrysalis!” protested Starla, and then they all engaged in a big fight. The Changelings went after Starla, but she outmaneuvered them, punching and kicking them away, while Lightning and Sapphire dealt with Chrysalis.
The queen dashed forth and aimed a strong punch, which Lightning caught in his hand, and tried to kick her, but she caught him in her free hand and flipped him over back hard. Sapphire changed into a phoenix and blasted Chrysalis with her fire attack. “Agh!” she growled. Sapphire then rammed Chrysalis.
“STAR SHOWER” Starla unleashed her magic on her, bombarding her hard. “You’ll pay for that!” Chrysalis growled as her body was shrouded in green flames, indicating she was charging herself up for a powerful blast. “Watch out!” cried Cadance.
Sapphire, Lightning and Starla stood ready, but surprisingly Chrysalis wasn’t intending to shoot at them, but rather at the ground, resulting in a huge explosion that could be seen from outside.
"Get back!” shouted Grand Ruler as bits of burning rubble came raining down from above. The palace was still standing, but everyone was very worried about inside. The others could hear the sounds of footsteps and faint groaning. Finally, through the smoke and dust Cadance and Shining Armor emerged along with Sapphire, Lightning and Starla, forcefully marching the defeated changeling warriors. The other pony guards followed them.
Other Starfleet fighters gathered round to arrest the changelings and take them into custody. The three supreme alicorns ran up to Lightning and Starla “What happened?” asked Grand Ruler.
“Chrysalis escaped.” Lightning was sorry to say, and explained the explosion was cast to distract them all which gave her the chance to make a getaway. “We’re sorry. We feel we let you down.” said Starla.
“The important thing is you saved the hostages.” said Celestia. Her husband nodded in agreement “You both did well, and we managed to round out a large portion of the changeling army.” he said.
Even still, the damage had been done. The entire New Crystal Empire was in bad shape, especially the Crystal Palace. The explosion had blown several floors up, and the whole was now a danger-zone. There was no doubt that it would all have to be demolished and then rebuilt, but even with magic, reconstruction would take weeks or even months.
“Can’t you just do what you did when the planet was reconstructed?” asked Shining Armor, but the queen and Grand Ruler shook their heads. “I’m afraid that is impossible.” Grand Ruler said and Celestia added with “Such magic cannot be produced so easily and even still it is not yet fully understood how it work and could have serious consequences if handled improperly.”
Shining Armor and Cadance felt heartbroken, but their Aunts Celestia and Luna and Uncle Celesto were willing to gladly put them up in their royal palace in New Canterlot, and all the now homeless Crystal Ponies would live amongst the village in New Canterlot until such a time their homes were restored.
In the meantime, the changelings had to be dealt with.
Once back in New Canterlot, a trial was held for the convicted changelings and the charges brought to them. It seemed fair, since the changelings were not quite as deadly as other evil forces, and they were actual living creatures that could be contained and sent to prison instead of being destroyed.
Their case was simple-- Like all changelings, they fought to feed on love energy to gain power, but it was also newly discovered that this energy was also their sustenance, keeping them alive. This made their actions only slightly understandable, but still unacceptable. They were still wicked creatures with nasty attitudes. Already they had been charged with…
-Invasion
-Kidnapping
-Acts of war and hostility.
-Attempted Murder, especially on royalty.
-Destruction of property.
-As well as thievery, and aiding public enemy number one-- Chrysalis-- No matter their motivation, crime was still crime.
The panel of judges reappeared in the courtroom. “Has the panel reached a verdict?” asked Grand Ruler.
“We have.” said the chairman.
“You may proceed.” said Celestia.
Everyone stood up, and all fell silent for a moment until the chairman spoke. “After much and careful deliberation, it is the ruling of this royal court that the convicts are found guilty of all charges and are sentenced to hard labours on the prison planet Conva… for life!!”
Their majesties approved, provided under the circumstances that research be done to see if the possibility of reforming the changelings existed. It was doubtful, but the promise was made.
The changelings were taken away, but this was no time to celebrate. There were many more changelings still out there and Chrysalis at large too. United Equestria was once again cloaked under the cape of war!

Episode 3: Don't Mess with Maiasura
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, the Maiasaurs roared and charged right for them! Sapphire gasped and whipped out Blitz's card.
"STARFLEET SLASH, STYRACOSAURUS, CHARGE!"
Blitz changed into his battle mode and ran onto the scene. The Maiasura roared and and Blitz knocked her away. "Where are her eggs?" Lightning asked.
"I put them in the nest, hopefully when she sees them, she'll calm down." Sapphire claimed. 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. 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. Sapphire returned Blitz to his card and then his chibi form. 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.

Episode 4: Social Friend Top
Lieutenant Sapphire, newbie of Lightning Dawn's unit and having the Scepter of Harmony and Element of Harmony at her disposal. She was very good on the battlefield but when it came to being social with others, she wasn't all that great. In fact, she was horrible. Acting like she wanted nothing to do with socializing with others. Especially today…!
The New Canterlot circus was back in town, and it was said to be one of them most exciting, most magical show in Equestria of old, and now here in United Equestria, with the ponies all genetically altered and having perfected newer arts and stunts, it was even more astonishing than ever.
Grand Ruler and Celestia had gotten tickets for Lightning and all their friends as a reward for bringing in a new swarm of captured changelings, and delivering more friendship and believing reports. Also feeling that watching the show and the way the artists performed would be a nice brush up to studying and devising battle strategies.
All of them were invited to stay in the palace and the next day they would head to the circus.
Early the next morning before, everyone would be heading to the circus soon, and Sapphire was busy reading a book on magical items to see if there was anymore information on her scepter. "Hey Sapphire." Rainbow said. Sapphire looked up and saw he rainbow maned pegasus. "Hi Rainbow."
"You going to the circus with us?"
"No thank you."
"What?!" Rainbow exclaimed. "Why not. It's gonna be great."
"Eh... I'd rather read all day. See ya." Sapphire walked away, leaving Rainbow flabbergasted at her response. Anyway, Lightning, and friends all went to the circus and had a wonderful time. Spike got a little bloated from eating too much junk food, but they all came back to the palace remarking about their favorite acts. Pinkie Pie just loved it all “The acrobats, the clowns, the pony projectile, the high wire-walker! Eee-Hee-Hee! I love the circus!”
“No doubts someone had a good time.” said Starla. Everyone saw Sapphire still walking with a book in his hands. "Hey Sapphire, did you like the circus?" Pinkie asked.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I didn't go." Sapphire said as she walked away.
"She didn't go?!" Lightning exclaimed. "Why not?"
"Well if you guys have noticed, she's not all that thrilled with socializing, which is ironic." Artie said. It was true. She made friends with Sienna, Mako and Pyrite, the changeling but when it came to making friends with ponies, she wanted nothing to do with it. "Any idea why she's acting like this?" Buddy asked.
"Well, she was in a lab for most of her life. So she must not have have alot of interaction with others, making her anti-social." Rainbow said.
This made everyone feel bad and sorry for Sapphire. They all had to remember that they were his friends and his teachers, in a way.They had to find some way to make her social and cheer her up.
“Oh, poor Sapphire.” said Rarity “I hate to think of him so upset.”
“That makes two of us.” said Lightning “We’re all Sapphire's friends and we have to share our lives with him.”
Rhymey nodded,
“I hear your words, and I agree--
Sapphire is our responsibility.”
“Darn Tootin’.” said Applejack “Must be somethin’ we can do that can cheer her up.”
Pinkie Pie began leaping with joy and glee “I know the perfect way! It’s perfect! It’s so perfect!”
“Pinkie…! Calm down, and tell us.” said Buddy Rose.
“A circus!” cried Pinkie “We could all put on a circus just for Sapphire. We could invite ponies from New Ponyville. She's bound to amke a friend that way!”
A lot of the others liked the idea right off the bat, but Lightning weren’t exactly sure. “Throwing a circus... here in the palace? hat would the Queen and Grand Ruler say?”
“They’d think it was a marvelous idea.” said a voice behind her. It was Celestia and her husband was there by her side. Both of them were smiling proudly. “I agree.” said Grand Ruler. “After all, this is a matter of helping a friend and expressing kindness, is it not?”
“Yes sir!” everyone answered.
The others all agreed. “So be it then.” remarked Grand Ruler. With his and Celestia’s permission, a circus would take place in the main throne room which was more than big enough, and everyone would have their own special jobs to do and acts perform in the circus.
Lightning was in charge of organization and setup, and would act as the ring masters.
“Ooh-Ooh-Ooh…! I call being the pony projectile!” Rainbow hollered
“I’ll be a fantastic clown.” cried Pinkie, and she pulled out a cream pie from out of nowhere and splattered it in her face then made funny faces.
Buddy Rose, Artie and Rhymey all decided to be acrobats. Applejack would be a knife-thrower. Starla would be a trapeze artist. Fluttershy would be an animal tamer. Rarity would make all the costumes and outfits for everyone, and the Spanish twins offered to do the lighting and special effects for some scenes. “This is going to be an amazing circus.” everyone thought, but first came the part of setting everything up without Sapphire knowing, which was going to be really easy as she read herself to sleep and fell asleep in the library.
The next day, after a good night’s rest, everyone got to work and didn’t wake Sapphire up so she wouldn’t see what was happening as they all began to set up for the show.
The throne room was already wide enough, and there was plenty of space to set many things up. While the off duty guards helped rig things up, some of the performers practiced their acts--outside, of course. Though some of them were starting to have a few difficulties in getting things right.
Fluttershy was performing and act with Spike, and getting him to try and play the horns, but Spike kept hitting the wrong notes. “Oh, Spike, I think your tone-deaf.” she was sorry to say. “Hey, I told you I can’t play the horns.” Spike told her “Besides, there are plenty of other things I can do.” That’s when a rouge pie hit him in the face. Pinkie came along dressed her cute clown outfit. “Oops, sorry!” she giggled “I guess I didn’t see where I was throwing.”
Spike did look funny with all that pie and cream on his face, but he didn’t feel amused at all. He licked some of the cream “Mm, not bad though.” He said and then he went off to get cleaned up.
Twilight and Lightning were starting to have doubts that all this would work. So far all the acts didn’t seem to be going right, but they kept things organized as best they could. Even with the few minor infractions everyone worked hard.
Starla was able to get her timing right on the trapeze, and Applejack’s knife throwing was going really well.
Rainbow Dashes’ act was easily the most successful. Being a pony projectile, she launched herself up, up and up and landed perfectly on the safety net without the use of her wings. “Yeah!” she cried for joy “I’m so going to hit the big top.”
“Well just be sure you take extra care of that crash outfit.” Rarity said. Applejack felt confused “If you made that suit for extreme stunts, then why be careful?”
“Oh, really, Applejack!” replied Rarity “Do you know how hard it is for one to work with such fabrics?”
“Never mind that…” Lightning said “Let’s get back to work or we’ll never be ready by tomorrow.”
So everyone kept practicing, and eventually, they were ready to perform…
…Or so they thought.
The next evening, the room was all set up and extra seats were laid out.
Shining Armor and Cadance carefully carried Sapphire to the throne room and her special seat. “Everyone ready…?” Shining Armor asked. Lightning peeked from behind the curtain and winked at Shining Armor. Their majesties took their seats and Snowflake nudged her rider, waking her up. "Yawn... huh? What the-?" She turned to see the others just smiled cheekily. “What are you all smiling about?”
The sound of a drumroll was heard followed by spotlights going around the room and Rarity’s voice echoed as she announced “Ladies and gentlemen! New Canterlot Palace is proud to present for one night, and one night only, the fabulous, magical, indoor circus!”
Magical illusions of fireworks sparked as the performers all marched out. Sapphire could hardly believe her eyes. “Is this really happening?” she asked with excitement. The royal ones all nodded, and Rarity then announced “And here are your ring master; Lightning Dawn!”
Lightning appeared in a puff of smoke, wearing ring master outfits, complete with top-hats jackets and everything. Lightning welcomed everyone and explained that the show was dedicated to their friend, Sapphire. Now she felt really touched, and didn’t know what to say.
“Without further ado-- let the show commence and our first act will be… the Amazing Applejack!” said Lightning.
Applejack came out on stage, the audience cheered and applauded. Applejack held up eight real, and every sharp knives in her hands. “Watch carefully now and be amazed.” she said as she faced a target, which was a cut-out picture of a changeling with several small targets drawn on it. One-by-one she threw the knives right into the bullseye of each target, even while stand backwards, covering her eyes, or standing on her head. The last knife she balanced it on her finger and spun it fast, and finally she threw it and it hit the bullseye of her last target.
Everyone applauded and she took her bow. “That’s what I get for years of rope throwin’.”
Next Lightning announced “Introducing, Pinkie Pie, the clown of happiness.” and indeed she was. Pinkie sang a silly clown song as she did her act-- throwing pies, pretending to trip all over herself, dumping a bag of flour on her head…
Sapphire never laughed so hard in his life, and neither did the others. When it came to laughter and happiness, Pinkie was just too much, and they couldn’t give her a better round of applause.
The show seemed to be going okay, until when Lightning came out to introduce the next act. “And now, everyone, we must caution you to remain in your seats in perfect silence.” said Lightning. “Remembering at all times that margin between safety and danger is very narrow indeed. Here we have powerful cannon, capable of launching any object at least ten-thousand feet up high, and that object in question to be fired will be none other one of the bravest ponies around. Rainbow Dash the pony projectile!”
The lights shone on Rainbow as she stood proudly holding her hands together and shaking them triumphantly. She had her wings tied up as so she wouldn’t be able to get them undone in any hurry to make her act more daring. She hopped into the cannon, and waited until the giant sunroof in the ceiling above was opened wide. The drumroll sounded, the fuse was lit. Everyone watched with nerves of excitement. Celestia held Grand Ruler’s hand tightly, but just as the fuse was centimeters away from the end… it went out. “Hey!” Rainbow called from in the cannon “What’s going on?”
Lightning checked the fuse “Something’s wrong” she whispered “I can’t get it going.” Snowflake went over and opened her mouth, suggesting her plasma blast. "No Snowflake." Lightning said.
The audience was starting to feel a bit dismayed. Lightning decided to introduce another act to cover things up. Lightning peeked behind the curtains, “Fluttershy, where are you?” he called. Spike and Fluttershy’s animals pointed under a tablecloth. As expected, Fluttershy was hiding underneath, feeling much too shy to go out there in front of all those ponies, even if it was just five. “Ah, I should’ve seen that coming.” Lightning groaned. Luckily, Starla agreed to go on while the others tried to help coax Fluttershy into coming out
Lightning came back out and introduced Starla’s act. “Sorry, we’ve had a few minor difficulties.” he said “To keep things going, our next act is the sensational Starla Shine, who will perform on the flying trapeze, with a magic spell cast on her, so she can’t use her wings or any magic, and she has no net below her either. If she falls, it will mean certain injury!”
Starla stood tall and proud on her trapeze high above the cheering crowd, and then she performed her act relying on simple Starfleet training to maintain her balance and posture, as well as do her tricks and stunts. The crowd was amazed. Grand Ruler was especially proud to see Starla putting her training to excellent use. By the end of her routine, the three acrobats, Buddy Rose, Rhymey, and Arite went on next. They were pretty good, but the problem was Rainbow’s cannon still wouldn’t work. Dyno inspected the fuse as well as he could but was still having problems making it work. “Por el amor de Dios! Why won’t this work? Come on chica!” he grumbled.
Fluttershy was still too shy to come out from under the tablecloth. “Por Favor, Fluttershy. You’ve got to come out from there and do your act.” said Myte.
“I can’t!” she cried “What if I make a mistake? What if everyone laughs at me? I don’t think I could take that.”
From the sudden sound of the applause outside, the acrobats had finished their act. “Oh, no!” groaned Lightning. “We’ve got to do something-- but what?”
The longer they stalled, the more the audience was growing a little impatient.
“What’s going back there?” asked Sapphire. None of the others knew, but whatever was going on had to be serious. Suddenly, Sapphire had an idea, and grabbed her scepter
Twilight and Lightning, along with all the others were still baffled and in a panic about what to do. “This is a complete disaster!” cried Twilight.
“There’s got to be something we can put on.” said Lightning. He gazed at each of the others but nobody had any ideas what else to do, but suddenly they heard the sound of music playing and the audience cheering. “What’s going on?” asked Twilight.
Applejack peeked through the curtain. “Come here.” she motioned to the others. Everyone peeked through and saw Sapphire, actually there on the stage. She was waving her scepter which glowed brightly and made large animal (specifically a Jaguin) spirits appear and fly around the room. Each of the Jaguin's blasted a beam of light into the sky which changed into sparkles. Everyone was astounded at that for sure. The spirits roared and returned to the jewel of the scepter. When she finished, and all the performers, except Fluttershy and Rainbow emerged from the curtain cheering as well.
“That was incredible!” cried Pinkie.
“You got some smooth talents.” added Artie.
“Aw, gee, it was really nothing.” said Goldwin “I just felt something was wrong, so I decided why not help out. Just my way of saying thanks to you all. You know, for putting this big show for me...”
Everyone smiled and Twilight and Lightning gave Goldwin another announcement to the crowd. “Let’s give another big round of applause for our surprise guest performer.” said Lightning “…Goldwin, the dancing juggler!” added Twilight
The crowd cheered again and Goldwin took a bow, but the excitement was interrupted when suddenly… BOOM!! Rainbow’s suddenly cannon fired and launched her way up high through her sunroof opening. Everyone watched in horror as she soared up, up, up. “HELP!!” she screamed. “It’s out of alignment! She’ll miss the net!” cried Dyno. He was right too, and poor Rainbow was helpless to get her wings untied from those strong knots. “I’m gonna crash! I’M GONNA CRASH!!” she screamed as she fell like a brick.
“I’m coming Rainbow!” shouted Lightning, but as he prepared to fly up and catch her. Uglydog appeared on a trapezes?
"Uglydog to the rescue." he declared.
"UGLYDOG?!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Ready Lucky Bat?" By his side was a red bat with wings.
"Uh. Ready?"
"Alright!" Lucky Bat grabbed Uglydog and he started swinging on the trapezes. When he gained enough speed. "Lucky Bat away!" Lucky Bat leaped off his back and landed on Rainbow. Using his wings, he untied Rainbow's wings and she was able to fly again. Together they safely landed back on the ground.
This made the crowd cheer the loudest it had all through the show. Lucky Bat smiled sheepishly as Uglydog patted him on the back. "Nice."
Despite all the slight mishaps and delays the circus was a success, but sadly it was all over now, but Sapphire couldn’t thank everyone enough. She made one new friend who like her scepter tricks. “We were happy to do it for you. You’re our friend, and that’s what friends do-- they help one another, especially when they’re feeling down.” added Lightning.
Celestia and Grand Ruler were very proud of everyone for showing such acts of extreme friendship and kindness, as well as learning a good lesson as well…
Sometimes, it takes a little push to help a friend overcome a longstanding obstacle in their life.
It really had been a night for everyone to remember, and Sapphire didn’t know if she would ever stop smiling. Suddenly, they all broke into a song.
My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: Season 2 (Rewrite)
Episode 5: Pyrite: The Nice Changeling
Starfleet virtually had a free hand over the enemy. The Changelings had already tried to attack, but Lightning and his friends, and many others had captured and imprisoned a great number of the changelings already and sent them to the royal palace in New Canterlot where the Queen and Grand Ruler would send them to the prison caverns under the where they would be detained in a cryogenic hold and then sent to one of the prison planets run by Starfleet.
In light of the war, their three supreme majesties made a worldwide announcement of declarations.
Starfleet would remain on constant vigil for any signs of attack, and as for all others, life would continue and society would go on-- Children would go to school, adults would go to work, and bills and taxes would be paid normally. There would be no hoarding and no sudden profiteering. By command of their majesties, all wages and all prices were to be properly balances and/or frozen. What an apple cost at the market yesterday it would cost again tomorrow.
To help avoid sneak attacks at night, by command of Princess Luna, an international curfew began after 9 Pm for all child civilians, unless proper authorization was given. Finally, martial law was declared for the times of war, and all crimes and disturbances would be dealt with swiftly, and harshly. The last thing anyone wanted was to start warring on each other.
So, life went on.
One day Sapphire was walking through New Ponyville, whistling to herself when…
“Psst.”
“Huh?” Sapphire turned around and caught sign of a black hoof waving to her from an dark alleyway. Sapphire walked over to the alleyway, looking around to see if anyone was noticing, luckily no one was. Entering the alleyway, she saw a changeling but this one had light pink eyes and pink transparent wings also, it was smiling at her.
“Hi Sapphire.” she greeted.
“Pyrite, what are you doing here?!” Sapphire exclaimed with worry.
“I wanted to see you again, Sapphire.”
“What if someone sees you, they can see right through your disguise now! It’s too dangerous for you to be New Ponyville.”
“But where else can I go?”
“Hmm… Aha. The Whitetail Woods. As far as I know, no Starfleet officers are there. Come on.” Pyrite changed into a pin and pinned herself to Sapphire and with that she flew off to the Whitetail Woods.
The woods were a quiet place in United Equestria where many creatures like deer, birds and squirrels roam free. Sapphire landed and Pyrite changed back into herself. “This place should be safe enough, Pyrite.”
“Thank you Sapphire.” Pyrite said and she suddenly turned sad. “I just wish the other could be the same way I am.”
Sapphire felt empathy for Pyrite. “I know, one day maybe you can show them all.”
Pyrite smiled but then her eyes turned to horror when she spotted something in the sky. Sapphire turned to the sky and gasped. “Lightning and Starla! Quick, hide!”
Pyrite changed into a rock and Sapphire pretended to sat on it, looking out through the forest as Lightning and Starla landed. “Sapphire, any other changelings?” Starla asked.
“No Starla, nothing.” Sapphire replied.
“Good. That will be all.” Lightning stated and he and his wife flew away. Sapphire sighed in relief when they were gone and Pyrite changed back. “That was too close.” Pyrite whimpered.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe.” Sapphire said.
Pyrite smiled and the two unlikely friends hugged each other. “I’ve gotta get back. But I’ll visit you everyday. Promise.”
“Okay, Sapphire.”
For the next week, she went to the New White Tail Woods and played with Pyrite and Lightning and the others had no clue until one day….
Sapphire was with her friends at the Cake’s Café for some lunch.
Lightning was not very happy, “I still can’t believe we haven’t found any changelings yet!” he grumbled.
Sapphire, being optimistic as always said, “Don’t worry guys, you’ll find them soon. I’m gonna go to New Whitetail Woods, see ya.” she stated.
When she left, Buddy asked, “Have you guys been noticing she’s been going to the woods a lot lately?”
“Yeah, she’s never been to the woods that many time before.” Applejack agreed.
“What do you think she could be doing there?” Rarity asked.
“You guys don’t think she’s hiding something from us, do you?” Spike asked.
“No way, she would never do that. She knows the consequences.” Lightning replied.
“But we should probably go check on her.” Dyno suggested.
“Si, I agree.” Myte added. The ponies left the café and went to New Whitetail Woods. There they saw Sapphire talking to somebody.
“Who is she talking to?” Pinkie whispered.
“Don’t know Let’s get a closer look.” Lightning replied. The ponies got closer and were shocked at what they saw. “Why is Sapphire talking with a changeling!” Starla cried.
“What is she thinking?!” Rainbow added.
“Is she crazy! She’ll get court martial for sure!” Fluttershy said.
“And why is this one pink?” Pinkie asked.
“Okay see you tomorrow.” Sapphire said. Pyrite went back into the woods and she exited the forest but before she could take another step.
“Stop right there!” She turned around and gasped as she saw her friends staring at her with angry faces. “What have you done Sapphire!” Lightning asked grimly. She stammered as she tried to find a reply. “You know that you were supposed to report if you found a changeling!” Lightning scolded.
“But guys, this one is nice.” Sapphire replied desperately.
Her friends didn’t believe her. “Pfft. Yeah right! It probably cast a spell on you and made believing that.” Artie snarled.
“It’s true!” Sapphire cried.
“Sapphire darling, forgive my tone but.. THEY ARE THE ENEMY!” Rarity stated.
Before she could say another word. “LIEUTENANT SAPPHIRE!”
Everybody looked up and saw Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia in the sky and they did not look pleased at all!
“Report to the palace for inquiry and court martial.” Grand Ruler said.
All the ponies shuddered in fear, but not as much as Sapphire. They all went to the palace for the trial. When they were gone, Pyrite came out of the forest and she had heard everything!
“Oh no. What am I gonna do? Sapphire’s in big trouble and it’s all my fault.” Pyrite started pacing back and forth. “If I go there, I’ll get arrested and sent to prison… but if I don’t do anything, my friends a goner. Oooooh…. What did Sapphire say?” Pyrite thought back to a moment with Sapphire.
“Sometimes you have to make a self sacrifice for the ones you love.” Sapphire said.
“A self sacrifice.” Pyrite repeated and took a deep breath. “For my friend.” and with that she rocket off to New Canterlot before it was too late for my best friend.
Meanwhile, Sapphire was in trial. The supreme pony council of United Equestria presided. The Chairman pony and his five councilors called the court to order.
“Sapphire Shimmer…” said the chairman “This court holds in contempt on the charges of treason to the United Equestrian Empire. Evidence has convinced this court that you are defying their majesties order to bringing in the changeling. Have you anything to say for yourself?”
Sapphire just stayed quiet and shook her head. Her friends were in the front row seats, looking on with worry and concern.
Grand Ruler then stood and called to the Judges, “Will the Panel need to deliberate?”
“We see no need. We have decided on our verdict.” said the Chairman.
“You may proceed.” said Celestia. Everyone in the court stood waiting to final word from the Chairman. “It is the ruling of the supreme world high court of United Equestria that the defendant, Sapphire Shimmer is found-“ Before he could say anything else, the doors of the courtroom burst open. “WAIT!”
The chairman wasn’t happy. “WHO DARES INTERRUPT THIS COURT TRIAL!?” He bellowed.
“We do!” Everybody turned towards the door and gasped in horror. Pyrite was at the door! Everyone in the courtroom gasped in horror and Lightning and his team immediately surrounded them. “What are you doing here?” he snarled.
“I’m here to tell you all that I’m different than the other changelings.” Pyrite said boldly.
“Yeah, right.” Starla muttered. “We’re not buying your story, changeling.”
“Please just listen to me.” Pyrite pleaded. Lightning and the others looked at each other. “... Fine. Prove it changeling.” Lightning snarled.
Pyrite gave a small sigh and music started playing in the background.
(Pyrite)
I’m a changeling an incest pony bug
And known for stealing love
But unlike them I do know another way
For us to gain our love
Having friends
Then one day I met Sapphire Sunlight
And she had helped me see
That a friendship can substitute for love
Then I’d not longer steal to survive
That she could settle down with us somehow and finally come ashore here to stay
If they could,
How i wish they would
See things my way with love and peace
And truly change their ways for good
Finally change their ways for good
We'll have good times and laughter every day like all you ponies do
For so long my dream seemed so far away
I really hope that one day it comes true
Pyrite flew down to Sapphire and they both started singing.
(Both)
If they could, how i wish they would
(Pyrite)
Tell me the words i long to hear
(Sapphire)
And truly change their ways for good
(Both)
Finally change their ways for good
(Pyrite)
Hope they change their ways for good
The courtroom was silent. “Okay… that was unexpected.” Rainbow said.
“But how do we know, you’ve really changed?” Pinkie asked. Pyrite turned and showed everyone her wings which were sparkling. “Woah, what’s with the sparkling wings?” Artie asked.
“After I became friends with Sapphire, my wings started to glitter and sparkle and I didn’t feel like feeding anymore. It was our friendship that satisfied my hunger and now I don’t ever have to feed again.” she turned to Sapphire. “And I own it all to Sapphire.”
Sapphire smiled proudly at Pyrite. Lightning and the others were speechless. “C-Court adjourned.” The chairman’s stuttered.
Back in the throne room, their majesties held a meeting with Lightning and the two teams. Pyrite was present before their majesties. “Pyrite, as a changeling we normally can’t overlook the things you and your kind have done.” Celestia started. Pyrite looked down in shame. “But since you’ve shown that there is hope for you kind… we are willing to let you stay in United Equestria.” Grand Ruler finished.
Pyrite gasped and looked up with joy. “Really?!”
Their majesties nodded and Pyrite squealed with joy. She rushed over and hugged Sapphire. “Now, we’ll be together forever.” Pyrite said.
“I know.” Sapphire said.
Suddenly, several screams were heard down the hall. “That was the children!” Lightning cried. Everyone rushed towards the nursery where the found, to their horror, Chrysalis and Several changelings holding their children hostage.
Castor and Leilani were Grand Ruler and Celestia’s twin children but Castor had a brown mane while his sister had a pink mane.
Shining Light an alicorn colt had a soft white coat, two beautiful blue beady eyes, a blonde yellow mane, and a cute little matching tiny tail
Seedling was an little alicorn filly. Greenish in color like Buddy’s wife, Tree Hugger was, and she had a cute little tuft of red hair like her dad. Her eyes were a light blue.
Button Fly, Rhymey and Fluttershy’s son was a tiny yellowish alicorn, with a little brown tuft of hair, and his eyes were green.
And Twilight Scale Sparkle, Rarity and Spike’s dragony filly.The child had a considerable normal pony body, but with bits of scales by her thighs. Soft little claws with no sharpness. Her ears were slightly flopped like dragons, and the tip of her muzzle was curved up slightly. She had a complete ponytail, not a dragon-tail, but the best feature of all was her coat was lilac, and her little tuft was dark navy blue with a pink streak, and her mulberry eyes.
Three held, Button Fly, Seedling and Twilight Scales Sparkle while the other three held Shining Light , Castor and Leilani
“Mommy! Daddy!” Castor and Leilani cried.
The parents gasped and became very angry. “Let out children go, Chrysalis!” Lightning snarled.
Chrysalis laughed. “No, the love these children have will be more than enough for my changelings to feed on.”
“Never!” Pyrite snarled.
Chrysalis turned sour. “What are you doing here, traitor. I banished you after you made friend with that human of yours.”
“I’m helping my friends and I’m not going to let you take their children!” Pyrite growled and changed into a Triple Stryke dragon. She roared. “Alright.” Sapphire changed into a Zippleback and the TWZ appeared as well. Pyrite charged the changelings who flew up, but Pyrite extended her tail and whacked the changelings and grabbed Seedling, Button Fly and Twilight in her tails. She brought them over to their respective parents who were very relieved to see them safe. Sapphire stuck three changelings to the wall and was now towering over them, standing across from Chrysalis.
She roared at Chrysalis, who sent a beam at her, but her element glowed and shield them from the blast. Sapphire blasted Chrysalis and sent her into the wall. “Agh.” Knowing she was beat she decided to retreat. “You may have won this battle, but I shall win the war!” she declared and she vanished. Pyrite and Sapphire changed back into themselves and the parents went to their respective children. “Thank the stars you all are alright.” Grand Ruler sighed.
“Thanks to them.” Castor said pointing to Sapphire, Pyrite and the dragons.
Applejack approached Sapphire. “Sapphire, we’re sorry for not believing you about Pyrite.”
“Yeah, we should trust you more if you say someones your friend.” Rainbow added.
Sapphire smiled. “Thanks guys.”

Episode 6: One Hot Capture
Lightning Dawn and all his friends were out in the meadow outside of New Ponyville. Their majesties were present as well. Yesterday, they discover six stones and thirteen dinosaur cards in a meteor that crashed.
For now, the team wanted to study just how strong the dinosaurs were. "Alright, Sapphire, bring them out." Lightning said.
"Right." She took out the six cards and slashed them.
"STARFLEET SLASH! DINOSAURS ARISE!"
And just like that, the six dinosaurs appeared and roared. Fluttershy and Pinkie were amazed at the beauty of the dinosaurs. "They're beautiful." Fluttershy praised.
"Alright, Sapphire. First, we'll test you dinosaurs strength in battle." Grand Ruler stated. He took out his piece of the Rainbow Rod and Celestia took out her matching piece. They nodded at each other and combined the two and the rod began to glow, consuming their bodies into light entities and whirling round and around. Everyone watched in awe as the two forms of light swirled in spiral-loops and came together to form Grand Celestial Ruler.
"First, we'll test you Acrocanthosaurus and Amargasaurus strengths." Lightning said.
"Alright, Blaze, Strom, ready?" Sapphire called. The two dinosaurs roared in agreement while the other four backed away.
Blaze and Storm charged The Ruler. The Ruler dodged and punched Blaze, but he roared and smacked them with it's tail. The Ruler lunged again at the two but Blaze tried to bite them. They zipped away, but Storm came in and bashed them, sending them crashing to the ground. "Woah."
The Ruler got up just as Storm charged them. They flew high in air and prepared to slash him with it's scepter, however, they didn't expect Blaze to jump high into the air too. He roared and The Ruler looked behind and saw it's silhouette above them. They tried to avoid it but Blaze came down and smacked them with it's head. The Ruler crashed into the ground. "Wow, they use teamwork to attack The Ruler! Amazing!" Lightning cried.
The Ruler staggered to it's feet and decided to use their attack. They powered up the staff and recited the magical chant.
“Cosmic powers, hear our call
Come forth now, and make evil fall
Nevermore will darkness reign,
Let peace and harmony replace the pain
Now let be finished what has begun
And through the darkness shall light now run
Let hope shimmer and burden so bright…
I summon forth the…
and unleashed the “MYSTIC LIGHT!”
The blast headed straight towards Blaze and Storm. Sapphire took out their move cards.
"MAGAMA BLASTER!"
"FUTBA SUPER CANNON!"
Blaze's mouth filled with fire and he stomped his foot. Rearing back, he unleashed a large stream of fire at the blast while a pool of water came in front of Storm and a Futabasaurus appeared. It opened it mouth and formed a ball of water then it blasted a powerful stream of water at the blast. The three combined and after a power struggle the dinos attacks pushed back The Ruler's attack!
"What!" The Ruler cried as the two attacks hit them hard. They skidded across the ground until they crashed into some trees. "Ruler!" Lightning cried. He and the team rushed to the crash site.
The Ruler groaned as they got up and defused into Grand Ruler and Celestia. Both of them were pretty banged up; scratches and a few bruises. "Are you two alright?" Starla asked.
The two nodded. "Well, the strength test is a success." Grand Ruler groaned. Sapphire returned her dinosaurs to the cards. "Sorry, I guess they overdid it."
"No, no, Sapphire, we're fine." Celestia reassured.
"Come on let's get you two to the palace to heal." Lightning said as he lifted his master into his arms bridal style, while Starla did the same with Celestia. "Krysta."
"Right."
Krysta used her magic to warp the team to the palace sickbay. However, they didn't notice that some of the flames floated around in the air. The flames hit a dinosaur card, it glowed red and turned into a large carnivorous dinosaur! It roared and saw New Ponyville in the distance. It decided to go have a look.
At the sickbay, their majesties were treated for their wounds, luckily, they were only minor injuries. Sapphire had her dinosaurs in their chibi mode. "Once again, sorry that I overdid it."
"Sapphire, it's alright. We're fine." Celestia reassured. Suddenly, her husband screamed in pain and the gang soon saw why. The Styracosaurus, which Sapphire named Bolt was chomping on Grand Ruler's leg... again. "Bolt, stop it! This instance! Stop!" he cried.
Sapphire giggled, "Come here, girl." she picked up Bolt, who reached out it's legs at Grand Ruler, wanting to get more chomping in. "Now, now, no chomping on his majesty."
Bolt roared softly.
Just then her device which she called her Dino Bracer began bleeping. "What the-?"
She looked at it and saw a red light. "What is it, Sapphire?"
"I think my bracer is detecting a dinosaur nearby."
"WHAT?" Everybody exclaimed.
"Where is it?" Starla questioned. Before Sapphire could answer Captain Shania came running towards them. "Your majesties! News from New Ponyville, some large creature is roaming the town."
"Oh no!" Pinkie cried.
"Let's move!" Lightning snapped. The team agreed and Sapphire turned her dinosaurs into cards and followed the gang out the window.
In New Ponyville, the dinosaur was walking around and roaring. The civilians screamed in fear and dashed for safetly. It opened it's mouth and launched a large fireball at the buildings. Luckily they were protected by the shields. The team arrived on the scene and saw the dinosaur attacking. "It's using Fire Cannon!" Sapphire identified.
The dinosaur then headed towards New Ponyville Elementary School. "No! It's heading towards the school!" Lightning cried. Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity and Buddy were all worried about their younger siblings.
"Applebloom!"
"Scootaloo!"
"Sweetie Belle!"
"DD!"
"Don't I'll stop it!" Sapphire claimed as she dashed to the school while the rest of the team dealt with the fires.
*Mykan's POV*
Me and Cheerliee were busy handing the students back their tests.
“Very good, excellent, not bad, needs improvement...”
I handed Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon’s tests back, and they both had a C-Minus. “What?” snapped Diamond “But how can this be.”
“Yeah, we studied extra hard.” whined Silver Spoon
I ignored their whining and then turned to the Cutiemark Crusaders. I smiled at them very proudly, “Very well done, girls.” and I handed then all their tests, which had perfect scores!
The girls all smiled,
“Wow! Our new study group has really helped us a lot.” said Sweetie Belle.
“You see, class…” I said to the children “With a little self-discipline and a lot of concentration, you’ll find you’re capable doing more than you think.”
Applebloom raised her hand.
“Yes, Applebloom?”
“Um… is all this studyin’ and hard work how you became the man you are today, Mr. Stevens?”
I chose my next words carefully, “Well, I do owe a lot of what I am today through a lot of hard work, but remember this, children: Fate works in mysterious ways, and sometimes, things just happen all at once.
After all, I originally came to your world by a stroke of fate, not out of design.”
I surpassed my painful memories of how Lord Titan changed my life, using me a guinea pig for his portal test, and he killed my girlfriend, Michelle. That was two years ago.
“The point is,” I quickly said “Things can just happen, like a bolt of lightning that strikes without warning.”
POW!! That’s when a loud noise, like thunder was heard outside.
“Was that thunder?” asked Scootaloo.
DD who was sitting closest to the window looked up at the sky, “Whoa! Check it out!”
All the students rushed to the windows, and I looked outside as well. There, was a large dinosaur. It was 44 feet in length and 12 feet in height. It was green with markings on it's back.
“That’s a Carcharodontosaurus!” I said. The children were amazed. They never seen a dinosaur before, but that excitement turned to horror when the dinosaur unleashed a fireball from it's mouth, nearly hitting the school! "It's alright children, there's no need to panic." Cheerliee cooed, trying to clam the children down. The Carcharodontosaurus roared and began to charge right towards the school. "That big fella's gonna destroy the school!" Applebloom cried.
Suddenly, Sapphire came down in front of the school.
"STARFLEET SLASH! AMARGASAURUS, GUSH OUT!"
(Play until 0.20)
Storm appeared and charged the Carcharodontosaurus, using his neck he knocked the dinosaur to the ground. "Way'd a go, Storm keep it up!" Sapphire cheered. Storm wasn't done there. He charged the Carcharodontosaurus at full speed, colliding with him with such force, causing a lot of dust and smoke to circle the place. The CMC's were amazed.
"Awesome!" Scootaloo claimed.
"Sapphire's beatin' it for sure." Applebloom added. Me and Cheerliee were also amazed by the dinosaurs battle.The dinosaure roared and formed a large fireball in it's mouth. "It's gonna attack again!" Scootaloo cried.
"Oh yeah?" she took out her own move card for Storm.
"WATER SWORD!"
The dinosaur launched the attack just as Storm made a sword of water from it's mouth and sliced the Shock Wave attack with it. The result was a spinning tube of water. "Woah." I gasped silently.
. The Carcharodontosaurus roared and It collapsed, glowed red and turned back into two cards.
Sapphire ran over and picked them up. "Don't worry, you're safe now." She returned Storm to his card.
*POV Ends*
Sapphire came into the school to check on the children. Entering the room, she was greeted by a roar of applause and cheers from the children. She blushed, "Everyone alright?"
"Yes, we're alright, Sapphire." Mykan replied.
"Nobody was hurt." Cheerliee added.
That's when Lightning and the team arrived in the room. "Applebloom, are you alright?" Applejack asked in a panic. Rarity, Rainbow and Buddy asked their younger relatives the same thing. The CMC's calmed their siblings down and told them about the dinosaur battle. "The Alpha Gang tried to take the Carcharodontosaurus?!" Lightning exclaimed.
"Yes, but Sapphire and Storm beat them into the ground." Mykan replied. Sapphire showed the gang the cards, "and I got the cards before them."
"Great work Sapphire. You saved the children and the dinosaur." Starla praised. Sapphire smiled and Lightning and the team were proud of her and Storm. She took out Storm's card and swiped it backwards, turning him into a chibi form. "Well, Storm, looks like you were a hero today." Sapphire said.
Storm roared happily.
Soon, the gang were back at the royal palace. Mykan was present as well. "So the Alpha Gang tried to capture the Carcharodontosaurus?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, they came in when Storm had it on the ground. They tried to beat Storm so I couldn't stop them from taking the dinosaur." Sapphire explained. Grand Ruler thought about this information. "Well then, we'll have to be more careful. But the real question is how did the dinosaur get activated in the first place?"
"Maybe it had something to do with earlier?" Sapphire suggested.
"What do you mean?" Celestia asked.
"After you two were taken to the hospital I noticed some of the flames from Blaze's attack flying in the wind. I didn't think anything of it but I think one of the flames hit the Carcharodontosaurus card, activating the dinosaur."
"So you're saying the dinosaur can be activated without the stones?" Mykan asked.
"It appears the dinosaurs can also be activated when they touch their natural element." Grand Ruler theorized. "If this is true then we'll have to be extremely careful. Who knows what or when the next dinosaur will appear."
The team saluted in response. For now, everything was peaceful... for now.
My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: Season 2 (Rewrite)
Sapphire has many different forms of magic.
Nature Magic; the magic to control lightning, fire, water, grass and earth.
Valkyrie Magic: just like the girls and Queen Celestia, Sapphire represents six Elements of Harmony; Strength, Bravery, Beauty, Healing, Sorcery and Hope it changes her into armor completed with a skirt, headband and a sword and shield with all her elements of it.
Roar of Harmony; a combination of the Elements of Harmony and Sapphire's own magic, it creates four, roaring lions and can blast a multi-colored beam at the opponent, imprisoning them in a capture sphere made from the Elements magic.
Her Scepter of Harmony: A powerful, ancient scepter that has many powers that Sapphire and Starfleet have yet to discover. So far they know that the scepter is bonded to Sapphire but that's all they know so far.
And finally, Uniforce; her most powerful attack and like Lightning and Grand Ruler, Sapphire has a golden stripe on her horn, allowing her to access the most powerful form of magic in existence.
Skip to 0:38)
Before, using the Uniforce would make her really tired, but overtime, she's perfected her attack and is now able to use many times without getting tired like Lightning. But she didn't like using it alot as her final move.
Now she was walking through New Ponyville... which was vacant?
"Huh?" she looked side-to-side. Nothing. She looked behind her. Nothing. This was weird. All she saw were four creatures prowling through the streets. "Psst. Sapphire." a voice said. Sapphire looked at New Sugarcube Corner and saw Artie in the doorway. Artie used his magic to elevate Sapphire into the store. "Artie? Why are you in the dark alone?"
"I'm not in the dark alone." Artie turned the light on and Sapphire saw all her friends. "Okay... what are you all doing in here?"
"We're hidin' from... them." Applejack said nervously. Sapphire looked out the window at the three creatures.
The first one was a yellow, bipedal creature with a white belly. It has conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck has several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resemble flippers and each foot has a single white nail. It has a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. The other one looked like a wolf. And it had a necklace around it's neck with a strange orb with a symbol on it.
The second one is orange wolf. It has a white underbelly that extends up around its muzzle and eyes in a mask-like marking. It has pointed ears with dark brown tips and pink insides, big green eyes, and a triangular, dark brown nose. There are four sharp fangs in its mouth: two in the upper jaw and two in the lower. Large tufts of brown fur extend from the sides of its head; three tufts on each side. A bushy, white mane covers its neck. Four dark brown rocks poke out of its mane, creating a shape similar to a stylized sun. The lower portions of this form's legs are white, and each foot has three dark brown claws. It also has a long, fluffy white tail.
The last creature looked like an owl with brown plumage and has a darker brown triangle pattern of feathers running down its chest. Its wings and wedge-shaped tail are dark brown, while the undersides of its wings are light brown. It has bushy, cream-colored feather 'horns' that look similar to eyebrows. The ring pattern around its eyes and its talons are cream colored, and it's beak and talons are light pink.
They turned and the ponies ducked in fear. "Oh stop being dramatic." Sapphire retorted with an eye roll.
"Can you blame us? Look at them! They're terrifying." Rainbow said.
"And just look at those markings so garish." Rarity commented.
"They’re pokemon."
"They’re what?" Everybody exclaimed.
"Pokemon and they are harmless."
"How do you know?!" Lightning exclaimed.
"Because they are the same pokemon I met while traveling after my escape from the lab."
"WHAT?!" Everybody exclaimed in shock. Sapphire smirked. "I'll prove it to you." Sapphire walked out of the shop and towards the raptors. Unaware that civilians were peeking out of their houses.
"What is the Princess doing?"
"She'll get herself killed."
"Someone save her!"
Sapphire reached the creatures who looked at her. "Ampharos, Lycanroc, Noctowl... remember me?" Ampharos looked at her and smiled greatly. "Ampha!" Ampharos cheered and ran over to her followed by the other pokemon. Sapphire hugged Ampharos and rubbed the Lycanroc on her heads. "I missed you guys too." Ampharos gave Sapphire two special rings; A Key Stone and a Z-Ring.
Soon the civilians and the ponies came out of hiding.
Lightning approached Sapphire at which the Lycanroc growled at him. "Woah, it's okay. He's my friend." The Lycanroc stopped and stepped aside, while keeping a sharp eye on Lightning. "So... your pokemon are harmless?"
"Yes, they only attack when they think someone is threatening me. Can they stay, please?"
Lightning and the others were hesitant about this. With these new creatures around New Ponyville, the civilians would have to be on high alert, cause they don't know the pokemon as well as she does. "Let's talk with their majesties, first, Sapphire." he suggested. Sapphire nodded.
At the royal palace, Lightning explained everything to their majesties. "So these... pokemon are friends that you met during your travels, Sapphire?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, your majesty." Sapphire replied. "Can they stay please?"
"I'd say let them. They look harmless." Rainbow said.
"Lycanroc roc." the orange Lycanroc said to Rainbow.
"What did it say?" Lightning asked.
"Lycanroc said, We're not completely harmless just wait until you see us battle." Sapphire translated.
"Battle?!" The other exclaimed.
"Yeah, my pokemon can battle too." Sapphire said with a grin.
"Oh yeah, prove it." Rainbow challenged.
"Alright, ready Ampharos?" Sapphire asked.
"Ampharos!" she cheered.
Soon, the friends were in the dojo with Rainbow and Ampharos on either sides. All the equipment was moved out of the was for the battle. "This is gonna be easy." Rainbow smirked and she transformed.
"HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!"
"Go Rainbow!" Pinkie cheered. "You can do it!"
Rainbow lunged at Ampharos whom stood there doing nothing until... "Ampharos, Iron Tail!"
At the last second, Ampharos leaped into the air, shocking Rainbow Dash. "Huh?" Then Ampharos's tail glowed and she slammed Rainow Dash with it, sending her crashing into the wall. Rainbow shook it off and growled at the pokemon. "Now use Thunderpunch!"
Ampharos's right arms sparked with electrical energy and she charged Rainbow Dash. Rainbow flew up at the last second and rammed Ampharos in the side, ending the attack. Rainbow landed and laughed, "See, I knew this would be ea-" She was cut off when her body started sparking.
"What the-? What's going on with Rainbow?" Pinkie asked.
"It's Ampharos's special ability: Static." Sapphire replied.
"Static?" Celestia asked.
"When an opponent makes direct contact with Ampharos, they'll be paralysis. I knew that Rainbow would try to ram Ampharos and the battle would be over, but my pokemon is alot tougher than that." Sapphire explained. "Now use, Thunderbolt!"
Ampharos leaped into the air and blasted a strong electrical attack, striking Rainbow hard and sending her into the wall again. She fell to the ground and her suit powered down.
Ampharos won the match!
"You won Ampharos!" Sapphire cheered. Ampharos cried happily and hugged Sapphire. "Hehehe, good job, girl."
"Ampharos."
Lightning and the girls went over to Rainbow. "Rainbow are you alright?" Fluttershy asked.
"I... lost?" Rainbow said in a defeated voice. "How?"
"Because you underestimated your opponent." Sapphire said, coming over with Ampharos. "You thought you would win easily because you thought Ampharos would be slow due to her size, but looks can be deceiving, especially with pokemon."
Rainbow sighed sadly but Ampharos rubbed her back. "Ampharos, Ampha."
Rainbow smiled sadly at her, "Thanks Ampharos."
"So, who wants to battle my Lycanroc?" Sapphire asked.
"How about their majesties?" Buddy suggested.
"Yeah, it'll give your Lycanroc a great experience." Artie said.
Their majesties looked at each other and nodded. "Alright, we're ready." Grand Ruler said. Sapphire chose her Lycanroc (Midday Form) for the battle.
"Ready boy?" Sapphire asked.
"Lycanroc!"
Their majesties started off by blasting magic at the two wolf pokemon. "Dodge it!"
The Lycanroc leaped into the air where there majesties met them in the sky. "Use Rock Throw!" The Lycanroc's lifted their tails and threw rocks at their majesties, striking them hard. The two fell a few feet before recovering and landing on the floor. "Now, Accelarock!"
The Lycanroc glowed and swiftly charged their majesties, bashing them hard and they skidded across the floor a little. Their majesties smiled, "Nice moves." Grand Ruler said.
"We're not done yet. Use Zen Headbutt!" They Lycanroc's focused their willpower to their head and rammed their majesties. Their majesties blocked it and threw the back. Their majesties charged the two Lycanroc and tried to punch them, but the wolf pokemon were swift with their reactions and dodged every single attempt. "Amazing, they don't miss and single beat while dodging those attacks." Starla said.
Their majesties backed off and Grand Ruler readied his horns for his final attack. "Ooooh, here it comes." Pinkie squealed with glee.
"TEN-FOLD UNIFORCE!" the large beam of Uniforce came burst towards the Lycanroc. "Use Stone Edge!" Sapphire called. The two Lycanroc howled and slammed their front paws into the ground and large blue, glowing stones came out and they actually blocked Grand Ruler's attack, completely shocking everybody. "What?!" Lightning asked.
"Ampharos, Lycanium Z!" Sapphire called.
"Lycanium Z?" Everybody exclaimed. Ampharos pulled out a box and took out a strange looking crystal.
"Alright then, let's go!" Sapphire cried. The stone in ring on her right wrist glowed and she started down some poses and a powerful aura surrounded her and transported into the Lycanroc's. They howled loudly. "Aright use Splintered Stormshards!" The Lycanroc howled and rocks surrounded the two of them. They leaped into the air and the rocks pointed towards their majesties. Sapphire interlocked her hands together and the Lycanroc howled and dove towards their majesties. They landed in between them while the shards, struck the two of the hard.
(Like this)
Their majesties were knocked onto the floor. The Lycanroc's had won!
"Your majesties!" Lightning cried. The team and Sapphire went over to their majesties. Lightning and Starla sat them up." Are you alright?" Lightning asked.
"Ugh... we're okay, Lightning." Grand Ruler said. Lycanroc went to their majesties and licked them on their cheeks. "Awww, we're alright, Lycanroc." Celestia reassured.
"Good cause that move was AWESOME!" Rainbow cried. "Totally powerful."
"What was that move anyway?" Dyno asked.
"Si, we've never saw anything like that." Myte added.
"That's Lycanroc's Z-Move." Sapphire replied.
"Z-Move? What's that?" Lightning asked.
"A Z-Move is an extremely powerful move that pokemon can use based on the type of attacks they have. And there are Z-Move made for specific pokemon, like the one I just use for Lycanroc. There are many Z-Move types. Ampharos." Ampharos came up to the team and showed them all the Z-Move crystals.
"Woah, these so many." Applejack said.
"One for each type of pokemon." Sapphire added.
"So can Ampharos use a Z-Move too?" Artie asked.
"Yes, he can use the Electric, Steel, Fire and Ice type Z-Moves because he knows those types of moves." Sapphire replied.
The ponies were amazed. They never guessed that pokemon could use moves of that power. "Incredible." Grand Ruler gasped.
"So what other things can your pokemon do?" Pinkie asked.
"I'll show you guys later, but first I have to introduce my pokemon friends to someone." Sapphire replied.
Knock Knock Knock
Mykan Stevens heard the knock and went to answer the door. He opened it and saw Sapphire with her pokemon friends. "Hi Mykan." she greeted.
Mykan just stared at her for a moment.
"... YOU HAVE POKEMON FRIENDS?!" Mykan exclaimed. All of New Canterlot heard that yell.
My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: Season 2 (Rewrite)
Episode 8: Princess Step Up
Sapphire and her pokemon were walking through New Ponyville one morning which was surprising empty. Not a soul or pony was outside. Not one. "Where is everybody?" she asked herself. She went back to the castle and opened to door to a scary sight. All of her friends were in the castle, looking sick. Their noses were red, their manes were plastered on thier faces cause of the sweat, they were coughing and they could barely stand up. "Oh my god!" she cried and rushed over to them. "What happened to you guys?"
They tried to explain but they all started coughing and sneezing until Rainbow managed to croack out, "Ponyflux."
"Ponyflux?" Sapphire had heard of this before. Ponyflux was a disease that is similar to the flu, but much worse
Sapphire went to New Ponyville Hospital but before she could go in she was stopped by Dr. Penny, "Sorry Sapphire. The hospital has reached max capacity and we don't have any more rooms available."
"Oh my." Sapphire whimpered. "Looks like it's up to me to care for Lightning and the others." She went back to the castle and this time found more ponies in the castle, but they were no ordinary ponies. "Grand Ruler, Queen Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor?! You too?!" she cried in shock, even the pokemon were shocked, but it was true. The royal family had the same symptoms as Lightning and the others. And she guessed that the New Canterlot and New Crystal Empire's hospitals were filled up too.
"So now I have to care for seventeen ponies.... by myself."
"Not you're not."
"Huh?" Sapphire looked at Sunrise. They all had determined looks on their faces as well as Ampharos, Noctowl and Lycanroc"You guys will help me take care of them?" she questioned.
The pokemon nodded "Alright then. Looks like I have no choice." Sapphire too everyone to one of her largest guest room and put together sixteen more beds. After everyone got into bed, Sapphire started by taking their temperatures. "Looks like everyone's averaging 103.2 fever. Wow...this Ponyflux sure is bad news," she said as he put all the thermometers away, "Listen up everyone! Don't get out of bed ok? Rest is the most important thing you all can do now. Just relax and let me take care of everything."
Everyone gave her a weak smile and Ampharos and Lycanroc came in with multiple ice packs to help bring down their fevers. After that, Sapphire looked through all her books to see if there was any cure for Ponyflux.. sadly, the books didn't hold any information except for the symptoms. "Sigh... nothing. Looks like I'll have to give regular cold medicine. That does work for the flu so it should work with the Ponyflux too." Sapphire went into the bathroom and found the cold medicine bottle. "... One bottle for seventeen sick ponies... not good. Luckily, I have my cloning spell." She lit her horn and used her magic to make ten more bottles of the medicine. "Perfect, now time to give them some medicine." Sapphire gave her friends and the royal family regular cold medicine, but two ponies were refusing.
"This.. is.. for.. you..own..good..take...the..medicine." Sapphire said as she tried to give the spoonful of medicine to Rainbow Dash and Princess Luna who kept moving out of the way. Finally, Rainbow swung at the spoon and caused it to fly into Sapphire's face. As she began to laugh at her, Sapphire wiped off the medicine from his face and smirked back. She had a plan "Oh Noctowl~" she sang. Rainbow and Luna immediately stopped laughing as the owl pokemon landed on her bed. "Use Psychic on Rainbow and Luna's mouth."
"WHAT?!" Rainbow cried. "No! Wait! Stop!" Luna added. Too late. Noctowl's eyes glowed as well as Rainbow and Luna's mouth. It opened, much to her protest and fruitless struggle to keep her mouth shut. Sapphire gave the medicine to her and Noctowl stopped Psychic. Rainbow grumbled, "Well played Sapphire."
Sapphire grinned. She then made the friends bowls of chicken soup to help them too. She cooked the soup perfectly and made seventeen bowls of soup. Once they were finished, she used her magic to levitate them to the room, "Here guys, this soup should help you feel better." She gave the friends and royals their chicken soup. "Thanks Sapphire.. achoo!" Lightning sniffled. Sapphire grinned.
Sapphire repeated this cycle for the next two days. After another soup giving Sapphire staggered into the throne room and collapsed in her chair. She had small bags under her eyes from keeping an eye on her friends at night and she looked tired, "Phew, taking care of everyone is not easy." she sighed.
Her pokemon came up to her, "Are you okay?" Sunrise asked.
"I'm alright. Thanks for helping me guys." Sapphire grinned but suddenly though of something. "Wait a minute... if their majesties are sick then... who's ruling United Equestria?" The pokemon gasped. They never thought of that. "This is bad. Really bad. With all of the royals sick then that means.... I have to takeover."
The pokemon looked at each other. "But I've never ruled before. I don't even know what to do."
"What about the statue and the guard captain?" Ampharos suggested.
"Goldwin and Shania? Well... I guess he could help me, but what about the others, I can't just leave them here without no one to care for them."
"We'll watch over them for you."
"Thanks Ampharos, but you guys might need some help caring for all of them." Sapphire used her magic to make five clones of herself. Each clone was wearing a shirt with a number on it. "Alright clones, while I go and rule United Equestria until their majesties are better, I'm placing you five in charge of taking care of my friends.
Clone 1: Ice pack duty.
Clone 2: Soup making and giving.
Clone 3: Medicine duty
Clone 4: Temperature taker
Clone 5: Make sure everything goes smoothly while I'm gone."
"Yes ma'am!" All the clones replied. Sapphire saluted and flew out of the castle to to New Canterlot. Entering the palace, Sapphire was immediately greeted by Captain Shaina. "Princess Sapphire, have you seen their majesties and Princess Luna?" she asked. "i can't find them anywhere."
"They are at my castle. Unfortunately, they've caught the Ponyflux too, so I'll be taking their place until they get back." Sapphire replied. Shaina was shocked, but she could see that Sapphire didn't have any other choice. Someone had to run United Equestria while their majesties were out. "I was hoping you could help me since you've seen how their majesties work?" Sapphire questioned.
Shaina thought for a moment, "Alright.. I'll help you."
"Thank you, Captain Shaina."
"Alright then, come, you have much to do."
Sapphire nodded and followed Shaina. In the throne room, Sapphire professionally addressed the servants and guards. "Today, I will be performing their majesties duties today and tonight until they are well once again. I assure you, I can perform all of their duties.
Dismiss."
The servants and the guards exited the throne room, leaving Sapphire with Shaina. "So what do I do now?" she asked.
Shaina took out their majesties 'To Do' List. "Well, today it looks like they have some appearances; The New Canterlot Rose Contest and a school opening and etc."
"Alright then, lets get to work."
And so Sapphire began Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler's duties for the day. She rode in the carriage, waving to the ponies as she passed by with a big smile on her face. At the rose contest, she sniffed the flowers while holding the first place ribbon with her magic. She saw more flowers and more ponies waving at her to come over. With a grin on her face, she continued. At the school opening, She used her magic to hold up and ribbon as the photographer pony was getting ready to take a picture of her cutting the ribbon, thus opening the new school. She cut the ribbon and there was a bright flash. The crowd cheered loudly with joy.
Soon, she and Shania was back at the palace in the throne room. "Phew." Sapphire collapsed on the throne room, exhausted from all the royal duties she had to perform. "Excellent work, for the first time, Princess." Shaina praised.
"Thanks. I couldn't have done them all without you"
"Now it's almost dusk, so it's time to lower the sun and raise the moon."
"Right."
Sapphire and Shaina went to the tallest balcony in the palace. Sapphire closed her eyes and the tip of her horn glowed in. Slowly but surely the sun lowered in the sky and the moon slowly came up and soon it was nighttime. "Wonder how my clones are doing taking care of everyone?'
At Sapphire's Castle
The clones were getting straight to work, feeding the gang some chicken soup, taking their temperatures, feeding them their medicine and refilling their ice packs. Soon, everyone was asleep in their beds and Clone 5 closed the door. "Nice work everyone. They'll be better in no time." she said.
The other clones quietly cheered and tip-toed away from the door, letting the sick gang get the rest they needed.
Back at the Palace
"Nice work, Princess." Shania praised.
"Thanks."
"Now I'll leave you to perform Princess Luna's duties."
Shaina left Sapphire alone on the balcony. Suddenly Sapphire felt a little dizzy and sneezed. "Is it possible I'm starting to catch the Ponyflux?" Sapphire said to himself. She shook her head, "It doesn't matter though...everyone is counting on me. I can't let them down."
Soon for the rest of the night, Sapphire entered the dream realm and protected ponies and their nightmares. And she did their majesties and Luna's duties for the next week!
Finally, Lightning, his friends, the girls and the royal family were all cured of the Ponyflux and feeling a lot better. "I feel fresh as a daisy." Pinkie cheered.
"Yeah, thank goodness Sapphire took care of us." Rarity said.
"Wait... I just thought of something... if their majesties were sick then whose been raising the sun and moon for this week?" Rainbow questioned.
Everybody froze at that question. "I never thought of that!" Lightning cried. Before the gang could panic, the front door opened and in walked Sapphire, "Hey guys." she greeted in a horse voice.
"Oh my stars!" Rarity cried.
"Galloping Galaxies!" Lightning added. Sapphire looked nothing short of awful. Her mane was disleveled, she had terrible bags under her eyes, her nose was bright red, her mane was plastered on her face and she could barely stand. "Cough Cough.. achoo! Hi." she croaked
"What in the galaxy happened to you?" Buddy questioned.
Sapphire sniffled. "I've been... sniffle.. preforming their majesties duties for them... a-achoo!"
"You raised the sun and moon?!" Grand Ruler exclaimed. "For the whole week!"
Sapphire nodded. "Someone.. achoo... had to look... cough cough... after the kingdom.. achoo!" Lightning approached her and felt her head, "Sapphire, you're burning up! You caught the Ponyflux too."
Sapphire sneezed. "Hold up, if she was in New Canterlot then who are these five?!" Artie asked, referring to the five Sapphire's. "Clones." Pinkie replied. "Duh."
Artie felt stupid.
"Anyway," Celestia cut in, "We better get you to bed, Sapphire."
"O-Okay." Sapphire suddenly felt very lightheaded and collapsed on the ground. "Sapphire!" Everybody cried.
Sapphire slowly woke up, feeling awful, and meeting the faces of her concerned friends and royals. "Ugggghhh... wh-what happened? A-Achoo!" she groaned while rubbing her head. "You collapsed from your high fever, darling." Rarity answered. "How long have you felt sick?"
"The night of.. achoo... The night I first performed Luna's night duties." Sapphire sniffled.
The team felt bad for Sapphire. She was sick and yet she still managed to take care of the kingdom and technically all of them as well. Sapphire coughed again, aggravating her sore throat. "Come on, off to bed with you." Celestia said as she picked Sapphire up in her magic. She carried her to bed and placed her under the covers. "Thanks."
"Now you get some rest." Grand Ruler advised. Sapphire nodded, "Lightning, Guys?"
"Yes Sapphire?" Lightning asked.
"Can you guys care for my dragons and pokemon please?" she asked hoarsely.
"Of course darling." Rarity said.
Sapphire grinned and dozed off.
It was another beautiful day in United Equestria, Castor and Leliani were playing with Dusk and Dawn, their parents Titan Wing Hideous Zippleback under the watch of their parents and aunt Luna. Dusk and Dawn licked the two children and nuzzled them. "Hehehe. Stop it! We give up!" Castor cried playfully. Dusk and Dawn stopped their 'assault' and continued playing with the children.
Their majesties liked seeing their dragon and children getting along so well. Luna liked the sight of it too. Her sister and brother-in-law had suggested that she get a dragon of her own. "It'll help you with your night patrol, sister." Celestia pointed out.
"And you could use a dragon companion." Grand Ruler added.
But Princess Luna gently refused, "I don't need a dragon to help me with my night duties."
So their majesties decided to leave the topic alone... for now. Princess Luna was the only royal member of the royal family, besides Cadence and Shining Armor, that didn't have a dragon companion. Cadence and Shining Armor were interested in getting a dragon of their own, but they needed some time to think about it. Luna, on the other hand, wasn't. She said she didn't need a dragon cause she would not be able to care for it because she slept during the day and was awake all night. A routine completely different than a dragon.
That night, Luna was performing her nightly duties when Sapphire and Snowflake came along. "Hi Princess Luna." Sapphire greeted.
"Greetings Sapphire, what are you doing out at this time of night?"
"Just out for a midnight flight, that's all. Soo... have you decided on what dragon you want?"
Luna sighed, "Not you too."
"Princess, having a dragon will be good for you." Sapphire said. "Just look at Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler, they weren't interested in Dusk and Dawn, but look at them now."
"Yes, yes, but... sigh... I just don't... I just think I can handle a dragon. I sleep all day and awake all night while dragons do the opposite. And it can't help me stop nightmares."
"You never know until you try, Princess."
"...Perhaps." Suddenly there was a loud roar in the sky. "What the-?" a large blurs were seen over the palace and they crashed at the foot of the palace mountain. "Let's go!" Sapphire mounted Snowflake and the girls flew down to the bottom of the mountain. They landed and saw the dragon that greatly resembled Snowflake, except they were jet black with lighter spots, 26 feet long with a 45 feet long wingspan and more ear appendages around their head. It was tied up in a rope that had metal balls on the ends. And it was missing one tail fluke on the ends of it's tails. "Oh my goodness!" Luna cried.
She raced towards the dragon were were awake. The dragon growled at the sight of them. "No, no, no, it's alright. We won't hurt you." Sapphire cooed.
Luna used her magic to cut the ropes apart and free the dragon. The dragon stood up and looked at the two. They snarled and took the air... and didn't get very far. They both fell to the ground. It shook it off and tried again to fly but fell down again. "What's wrong with it?" Luna whispered.
"If one of it's tail flukes are destroyed then it can't fly." Sapphire explained.
The dragon fell again and grunted angrily. Luna approached them and the dragon hissed at her. "Hey, it's alright. I want to help you... if you'll let me." Sapphire came up to them with Snowflake by her side. "Me too."
The dragon looked at each other and at the two girls. Snowflake came up to them and rubbed them against their side. She roared softly. Luna held a hand out to each other the dragon. The dragon leaned in a touched her hand with it's snout.
Trust had been established.
"Come on, let's get you two to the palace." Luna suggested. the dragon followed Luna into the palace followed by Sapphire and Snowflake. Boy, were they going to have a story to tell everyone tomorrow.
The next morning, their majesties and the team all stared jaw-dropped at the new dragon near Luna. "So... Sapphire, what did you say this dragon was called?" Grand Ruler asked.
"It's called a Night Fury. It greatly resembled Snowflake as you can see, but the Night Fury can echolocate, dive bomb, blend in with the night sky and have splitting spines for better maneuverability."
"Wowie!" Pinkie exclaimed. Fluttershy approached it's tail. "But what happened here?"
"We found it tied up when it crashed here last night." Luna explained. "And a missing tail fluke is bad. Without it, it can't fly."
"Can't fly?!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"Yes, they only way it can fly again is if a prosthetic tail fluke is made for it." Sapphire said.
"Prosthetic tail fluke? I think Professor Brain can make that for him." Celestia said. The Night Fury perked up and smiled. "Hehehe, I think he likes the sound of that." Luna said.
"Alright then, I'll go tell Professor Brain about this." Grand Ruler added and he went off to the lab to get Professor Brain. Meanwhile, the Night Fury was rubbing against Luna and nuzzling her. "Hey, what are you doing?" she asked playfully.
"I think the dragon likes you Luna." Celestia suggested.
"Me? Why?"
"Well you do match the dragon almost. You both love the night and you both can blend in."
"B-But I can't have him, he's wild!"
"So were Dusk and Dawn, but look at them now."
"Come on Princess, having a dragon will be great. Now you have another friends to be with when you do your nightly duties." Pinkie added. Luna thought about this for a moment. "Well... it does get kinda lonely when I perform my duties." she looked at the smiling Night Fury. "And he would keep me company."
"So does this mean?" Sapphire asked hopefully.
"Yes, I'll keep him." Luna declared as she rubbed the top of his head. The team cheered in joy. Now the Princess of the Night has a Dragon of the Night.
Grand Ruler came back with Professor Brain in tow. "Alright, let me see this dragon." The Night Fury came up to Brain and showed him his tail. "Hmm... yes. I'm sure I can make another fin for you, big fella." he said. The Night Fury roared happily and tackled Brain to the ground, licking him in joy. "Agh! Stop it! Help!" Brain cried. The team and their majesties laughed at the scene. "Not funny!"
As Brain promised, he made a prosthetic fin for the Night Fury. Luna and the dragon had bonded over the period of time and the Night Fury seemed to have an interest in Snowflake; bring her food, trying to cuddle with her (only for the Light Fury to back away) and nudging her. "Awww, Snowflake give the Night Fury a break. I know he likes you." Sapphire said. The Light Fury lifted her head up as if saying 'hmph'. Sapphire sighed at her dragons' 'hard to get' antics.
Soon Brain attached the prosthetic fin to the Night Fury. "There we go, big fella." he said. "This should help you fly."
The Night Fury examined the tail and seemed to like it. "How about we give it a try?" Luna suggested. The Night Fury nodded and the two of them went to the tallest balcony. Luna spread her wings as did the Night Fury. "Ready?" The dragon nodded and they both flapped their wings and leaped off the balcony. The Night Fury flapped it's wings and the prosthetic fin worked perfectly!
It acted just like his other tail fin. "Yes, it worked!" Luna cheered, being happy for the Night Fury. The Night Fury roared happily as the two of them flew through the sky together. They landed back on the balcony where their majesties were present. "I'm guessing it worked?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, it worked perfectly." Luna replied. The Night Fury nuzzled Luna happily and licked her face. "Hehehe."
Their majesties smiled at their younger sister and the dragon. "Alright, boy, now that you can fly, it's time for you to go." Luna said. The Night Fury looked confused.
"You can survive on your own now." Luna said. "You don't need me anymore."
The Night Fury warbled and nudged Luna. "What?"
"I don't think he wants to leave, sister." Celestia claimed.
"Indeed, it has established a bond with you." Celesto added.
"Really?" Luna looked at the dragon. "You want to stay with me?"
The Night Fury nodded and Luna grinned. "Alright then." The Night Fury warbled happily and licked Luna again. Their majesties laughed. The Night Fury ceased licking and spotted Snowflake walking by. He went over and got in front of her. Snowflake looked at him, suspiciously and lifted her head up and walked away. Leaving the poor dragon jaw-dropped.
"She's playing hard to get, isn't she?" Luna guessed.
"Yep." Celestia said. The poor Night Fury was left distraught and rejected. Poor thing.
My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: Season 2 (Rewrite)
Episode 9: Part 1: Swarms and Storms
On the Dark Planet, Chrysalis gazed at at the army of robots she had created by fusing her magic with their powers. She also created a large robot which strangely looked like Fratello, Cadences brother. Odd... Oh well. She gazed at the army with a sinister grin. "Just wait Starfleet. It is time for my revenge!"
So far, all was still quiet in United Equestria, but every creature remained cautious. Royal worldwide announcements had been made warning everyone about the imminent attack, and practice drills were held for the creatures to evacuate when the time was right, if necessary. Krysta had ordered her many subjects on her home planet to standby. With their warping abilities they’d really be able to help.
Not only was Starfleet remaining ever vigilante, but so were the Wonderbolts and any other creature skilled in fighting who wished to help out. The Griffons, the Minotaur, even the Diamond Dogs were willing to fight. They didn’t want the planet destroyed or there would be no more gems for them to collect. Spike even managed to convince many of the dragons to help out too, though it took some time as the dragons didn’t trust a pint-size like Spike who lived with ponies.
Best of all, Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia sent messages to other Starfleet legions on the other planets, including Major Cerise. All were on standby and awaiting further orders.
The two teams had been busy in the training grounds-- getting into shape and preparing their weapons,
Pinkie Pie leapt by with her exercising outfit and making battle cries like a martial artist as she practiced her moves, and she leapt up high and snapped five solid boards in half with one kick. “Ha! That’ll teach you.” she gloated at the wood.
The other girls all were doing great too. Rainbow was even able to summon larger clouds with stronger lightning. She called it “STORM STRIKE!” and just one thunderbolt alone reduced a giant boulder into pebbles. “Yeah!” she cheered “I’m so ready-- Where’s the bad guys…?”
Artie held her back “Take it easy, Rainbow.”
Rainbow tried but she wasn’t about to make any promises. She wanted so much out of the bad guys. “They’ll come when they’re ready to.” Buddy Rose said “But they’ll also find us ready as rain.” added Applejack as she made sure her lasso was tied good and tight.
Lightning was glad that everyone was ready. Sapphire was training along with her pokemon and the dinosaurs she had gathered so far. The dinosaurs and pokemon were sparring with each other while Sapphire was practicing some new spells with her Scepter.
“Look out Chrysalis.” Starla said as she admired the team “We’re ready for anything.” But still, they had to wait for a move to be made.
Chrysalis called the giant robot Doom-Droid. “Now, go! Go and destroy!” ordered Chrysalis.
“Yes, my queen. All energies at maximum.” said Doom-Droid.
In almost no time, the robot-men had invaded the major cities, especially New Canterlot! Goldwin could see them through his telescope. “Your majesties!” he called.
“What’s going on?” asked Celestia.
“Take a look.” Goldwin said, letting her at the telescope. Celestia could the robots coming straight their way. “This is it. It’s what we’ve been waiting for.” Grand Ruler said. Then he turned and shouted “Go to red alert!”
One of the guards activated the alarm, and soon the whole palace was bustling about with guards rushing into action. “Charge!” shouted Captain Shaina as she and the royal guards soaring down from the palace, and the Wonderbolts soon joined them. “On to battle!” yelled Spitfire.
“Load the heavy artillery and standby!” ordered Celestia. As the guards and palace staff rushed around, loading the cannons and weapons, Lightning, Twilight and their teams came into the main room. “What’s happening?” asked Lightning, but they soon saw for themselves just by gazing out the window. “I’ve never seen so many robots all at once before.” said Starla.
“Well, what are we waiting for?” asked Rainbow, all the others agreed, and the royals dismissed. “We’ll do our part here from the palace.” said Grand Ruler “If things get too rough, we’ll join you.”
Lightning nodded and the two teams transformed.
“STARFLEET MAGIC!!”
“HARMONY HOUR FRIENDSHIP-POWER!!”
The two teams stood side-by-side.
“STARFLEET MAGIC!!”
“FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!!”
“PONIES UNITE!!”
Then they all headed out to join in the battle. Cadance watched as they all headed off. She felt so helpless still being locked in by the barrier and wished there was something she could do, but her aunt and uncle gave her the “Don’t even think about it” expressions.
Krysta and her husband Topaz, and all their fairies were working hard to evacuate the civilians to Sharma, the safe planet, guarded by Starfleet’s forces, as this battle was far too much to risk gambling on simple force fields for protection. One-by-one and in many lines, the ponies and other creatures marched into the many portals. “Come on! Keep moving! Keep moving!” shouted Krysta. Once all the civilians were safe. Krysta and Topaz ordered their fighter fairies to follow her to prepare a trap for the robot men, but it would take some time.
Meanwhile, Lightning and friends had all arrived on the scene, along with many other Starfleet Fighters, who leapt through portals appearing in the sky and joined in the fight against the many hundreds of robot-men. The teams could hardly believe how many there were. “Let’s go!” shouted Lightning, and all the two teams dashed into battle, all of them punching, kicking or firing their magic or weapons. Even Fluttershy found the courage to attack the robots full force. She roared angrily as she leapt up and pounced right on them hard, panting and snarling “You’re… going to STAY DOWN!!”
Rhymey was amazed at her new fighting.
“Be still my heart…
She’s tearing them apart.” He almost was caught off guard by three other robots.
Applejack held her rope and Buddy Rose held his whip. They both gazed at the many robots coming after them. They nodded at one another and lassoed the robots by the feet, yanking them off their feet.
A little bird could look down from the sky to see every corner of the land below swarming with fighting, small explosions, and magic emitting. However, the number of robots didn’t seem to decrease at all. For each one that was knocked out, two more popped up to take its place, even with the massive army of Starfleet, the royal guards, and Wonderbolts, they couldn’t seem to keep at bay all of the robots. Some were heading straight towards the palace.
“They’re heading this way!” shouted Goldwin.
“Artillery, get ready!” cried Celestia. “…Fire!” The shooters fired the cannons, firing magical bursts instead of hard cannon-balls. It seemed to help keep the robots back, but now very well.
Luna was flying overhead and fired some of her shots from the high up to help force the robots away. Celestia and Grand Ruler decided to head out and join her, when suddenly “Wait!” snapped Goldwin “Something else is coming. It’s Chrysalis.”
“What?!” their majesties snapped, and they all wondered why the robots weren’t going after her. “Wait a minute! Look…!” cried Celestia. That’s when everyone saw the giant robot, a near exact fifty foot copy of Fratello himself, following behind Chrysalis. “What is that?” shouted Cadance. Then they could actually hear an automatic voice from way far away. “Meet the instrument that will seal your fate, Ponies; the Doom-Droid!”
Celestia and Grand Ruler saw this was defiantly their cue to go out there.
The team and the army could the see Doom-Droid coming and Chrysalis levitating high in the air above it. Lightning and friends were starting to realize that the army of robots was just a decoy to set them up so they would use up some of their powers.
A Wonderbolt told them all to go, “We can hold the robots off.” The other Starfleet fighters and guards nodded in agreement.
“All right, let’s go!” Lightning said, and he and the others headed off to confront Doom-Droid.
“Doom-Droid, let them have it!” shouted Chrysalis. “As you wish, my queen!” and Doom-Droid gained more power ordering it to crush the ponies.
Doom-Droid raised its massive foot, “Look out!” screamed Lightning Everyone scattered out of the way as the huge foot slammed the ground, shaking it vigorously and causing the team to fall off their feet.
“Time for some real power!” snapped Rainbow and she soared up high forming the biggest storm cloud she could “STORM STRIKE” and she sent powerful lightning bolts crashing on Doom-Droid, but to everyone’s dismay, the robot’s armor absorbed the power of the electricity.
“Fools!” roared Fratello “Doom-Droid is energy absorbent. Observe...!” and with his words, Doom-Droid fired Rainbow’s lightning attack right back at them, only ten times as strong. Just that one bolt alone created a massive explosion that threw all the fighters everywhere.
“It can absorb our energy attacks?” cried Rarity. This was no good at all, they’re attacks would only make Doom-Droid stronger. Artie and Rhymey held out their weapons and tried to attack Doom-Droid physically, but as expected, their small size compared to the colossal robot didn’t do much of anything.
Chrysalis laughed at everyone’s futile attempts, but everyone wondered why she wasn’t coming down and attacking them herself. “I think she’s waiting for something.” said Dyno “Si, but what?” asked Myte.
Doom-Droid began charring up for another blast. “I don’t know, but I ain’t stickin’ around to find out!” squealed Applejack as she and the others ran for it before the blast was fired. Even though it missed, the ground quaked fiercely. “This is crazy. We’ll never beat it like this!” cried Starla “We need a bigger force.”
Such a force had arrived. “Look!” shouted Pinkie.
Everyone could see the royal ones heading straight for the battle field, and blasting many of the robot men below to help the army. “You two!” snarled Doom-Droid.
"Doom-Droid, we won’t let you do anymore damage.” said Celestia.
“It’s time.” Grand Ruler said as he and his wife held out their respective halves of the rainbow rod. They gazed at other and nodded, and they joined the two pieces together and the rod began to glow, consuming their bodies into light entities and whirling round and around.
“That’s it…” Chrysalis muttered “They’re doing just as I planned.”
Everyone watched in awe as the two forms of light swirled in spiral-loops and came together to form the giant humanoid creature everyone remembered as “Grand Celestial Ruler!”
“Your pitiful ruler is no match for the power of the Doom-Droid.” Chyrsalis taunted.
“We shall see.” Ruler said as they welded their rainbow staff, and began to attack Doom-Droid. At first it seemed to be working, as The Ruler managed to deal the massive robot a little damage, but suddenly the skies began to grow dark. “What’s happening?” cried Fluttershy.
All at once, a fierce storm had erupted, but instead of rain, it was bringing forth more chaos and destruction than ever. This was indeed Chrysalis’ doing. She was high up in the center of the sky and glowing brightly yet wickedly with magic. “It’s no use, ponies.” she taunted “With my magic spell in place-- the longer your ruler and Doom-Droid clash, the more destruction there will be.”
“You mean, The Ruler is only making things worse?!” cried Twilight
The Ruler heard this, and realized Chrysalis was right. The more power they and the Doom-Droid unleashed, the more violent the storm became and the more destruction there was. The Ruler knew it had to end this fast, so it powered up its staff, reciting the magical chant, and unleashed the “MYSTIC LIGHT!” the very magic used to destroy Titan in the previous war. However, as the shot hit Doom-Droid, as impossible as it was for everyone to believe, not only the storm grow worse, but Doom-Droid actually absorbed that magic too, powering it up stronger. “No!” The Ruler exclaimed in utter disbelief.
The army couldn’t believe it either. Doom-Droid could absorb the Ruler’s super attacks as well, and now it was powered up and ready to fire at it. The Ruler was able to absorb the energy back as well, but this made the storm ravage the kingdom even worse.
“What are we going to do?” cried Buddy Rose!
“The Ruler’s only making things worse!” Dyno pointed out, “Si, but without the Ruler, we don’t stand a chance!”
To make matters worse, despite all the robot-men they had defeated, a whole other army was marching into battle, and already the army was looking tired, and Doom-Droid was still standing strong, the storm was getting worse!
“What do we do, Lightning?” cried Starla.
For the first time ever, Lightning was drawing a total blank. “I- I wish I-- KNEW!!”
"Relax, I got this!" Sapphire whistled and suddenly a large flock of dragons flew onto the scene led by Snowflake. The dragons blasted the robot men, destorying them easily but more started to pop up. Some dragons went for hand to claw combat, slashing the robot men to bits.
The Ruler had no choice, they had to fight and at least try to keep Doom-Droid at bay. At least by fighting physically without blasting or doing much magic the chaos storm wouldn’t accelerate as fast, but Doom-Droid was still able to fire its power, and the Ruler had no choice but to absorb it which did accelerate the storm.
Chrysalis couldn’t stop laughing with glee. Her plan was foolproof, and the best part of it all was no one could even try to attack her. They’d either be stopped by the robot-men, Doom-Droid, the chaos storm, or by she herself. Even launching attacks from below did nothing.
Worse than that, the teams and the army were growing exhausted and couldn’t keep going much longer. “There’s… just… too many of them!” Lightning panted.
Sapphire changed into a large male lion and pounced on the robots easily destroying them. She slashed them with her claws and bit them with her teeth.
Soon more reinforcements arrived. “It’s the Griffins!” cried Rainbow. “And here come the Diamond Dogs.” cheered Rarity “And I can’t believe I’m actually cheering for them.”
“And there’s the Minotaur gang!” cried Fluttershy.
Her ex-trainer tipped his shades and spat on the ground. “All right boys, this is what we trained for.” He growled “NOW LET’S DO IT-----!!” and he and his men began to charge forth bowling all those robots in their path over like pins.
With a whole new army dealing with the robot men, it gave all the other fighters a chance to regroup. Even The Ruler suggested that Lightning and the team regroup at the royal palace. Heeding their ruler’s advice, the team fled for it, and Chrysalis ordered Doom-Droid, “Never mind them. The cowards, they will soon find there is nothing they can do to stop me now!”
Already, the chaos storm had really taken its toll-- buildings, towns, and villages were being struck by the powerful Lightning. Many of the buildings homes and schools were shattered to pieces. It was only a good thing the planet had been evacuated or innocent lives would had been lost as well.
The team was barely able to make it back to the palace safely, and even so, it pained them to watch the continuing battle and the storm raging. They knew that even Grand Celestial Ruler couldn’t go on like that forever.
Finally, Professor Brain came running into the throne room with some very interesting news. “I’ve discovered how Chrysalis is creating this dreadful storm he said.”
“Well, tell us already!” snapped an impatient Artie.
Brain explained that the Grand Celestial Ruler’s source of power was pure dimensional cosmic energy, while Doom-Droid’s was pure negative energy. Chrysalis absorbed the same forces from the caverns on the Dark Planet, and with them she combined the energies together to form the powerful storm that was threatening the planet. The more the energies were combined, the more savage the storm would grow. It was then decided that the best and only way to stop all this was disrupt Chrysalis magic spell and destroy the Doom-Droid before she had a chance to reenergize it.
“But how can we do that?” asked Applejack. “It’s too dangerous to even try to get near either one of them.”
“And how can we disrupt Chrysalis’ spell of darkness?” asked Buddy Rose. “Every time we get a chance to try and get near Chrysalis she blasts us away.”
Everyone thought and they thought, and finally Lightning realized “If we can make Doom-Droid lose power then Chrysalis won’t be able to hold the balance as well, and we’ll have a chance to get at her.”
The others began to agree. “But how?” asked Rainbow.
“Wait… we’re forgetting the most important thing.” Artie said “Doom-Droid absorbs all forms of energy launched at it.” Everyone caught onto Artie's plan and not everyone liked it, but what choice did they have? This was the only way to give Grand Celestial Ruler the chance they needed.
Krysta suddenly appeared. “It’s ready!” she said, and explained that she and her fairies had set up traps to help them with the Doom-Droid. “You have to lead it into the open meadows. Then you’ll see what happens.”
The armies of allies were still dealing with the robot men and were starting to get the upper hand, but The Ruler was still struggling with Doom-Droid which only made the storm worse. The Ruler was even starting to feel a little weak after being attacked physically so much. Another punch in the chest sent them toppling over backwards. The fighters down below scattered out of the way as the huge creature fell flat on its backside. It wasn’t hurt too badly, and got back up again, just as Lightning and friends arrived on the scene.
“Well, well, back for another thrashing?” mocked Chrysalis and she fired more energy blasts at the team. The team scattered, and told the Ruler what Krysta had said-- whispering into its large pointed ear. The ruler agreed and got back to their feet, and then they and the team began to fly away off towards the open meadow. “After them, you fool!” Chrysalis snapped at Doom-Droid.
Doom-Droid went after them with Chrysalis following so she could continue powering the storm.
Once in the meadows, Krysta signaled for her fairies to spring the trap. “What are you waiting for?! Get them!” shouted Chrysalis. Doom-Droid charged forth, when suddenly, its foot sank into the ground and the whole thing fell over. “What’s happening?!” cried Chrysalis “Get up you stupid machine!”
Doom-Droid got up, but then its other leg fell magically into the ground and the whole thing fell over again.
Krysta and her fairies had used their incredible warping abilities to make invisible portals all over the ground, like trap holes. It was the best they could do, as Doom-Droid was much too big to fit in any portal they could conjure, but still it provided them with an excellent advantage.
Lightning and friends remained in flight, and The Ruler levitated above the ground to avoid the holes. Now it was time to put part two into action. “I’m going to try to go in.” said Lightning. “Keep me covered!”
“Be careful, Lightning.” cried Starla. Lightning nodded and began to charge up the uniforce, which shrouded his body with the glowing energy, which he hoped Doom-Droid would absorb and allow him to get inside.
Chrysalis saw all this and tried to stop him with her blasts, but ended up having to defend herself from everyone else firing at her, allowing Lightning to slip through. “Here I come!” he shouted.
Lightning actually was absorbed right through Doom-Droid’s armor, emerging inside the actual body of the giant robot. The inside sure wasn’t what Lightning had thought, it was all pretty much just a simple enclosed room, and a large orb of glowing magic was in the chamber tube. "Time to end this." Lightning tried to unleash the uniforce, but his horn didn’t glow, and suddenly, Lightning began to feel strange-- weak, and hardly able to stand. “What’s… happening…?” he groaned “What is it? I feel… very weak!” The he realized that when he passed through Doom-Droid, his power had been absorbed, and some of his physical strength as well.
Then Doom-Droid's automatic voice came. “Fool! Did you really think you could penetrate my genius defenses so easily? Well, let me show you!” Doom-Droid glowed with the same mystical glow.
“Oh, no!” cried Lightning!
The others were wondering what was taking Lightning so long. “Look!” cried Fluttershy. Doom-Droid was glowing in a bright golden light.
“That glow…!
But it can’t be so?!” cried Rhymey.
“It’s the uniforce!” cried Twilight. That was when she and the others realized that Doom-Droid must have absorbed the energy Lightning covered himself with. “That means we’ve only made Doom-Droid stronger!” cried Rarity.
“Never mind that, it’s going to fire!” cried Spike. Everyone tried to run for it but realized the blast was going to be much too big for them to evade. “…FIRE!!” shouted Fratello.
“Here it comes!” shouted Buddy Rose as the blast was fired and headed straight for them all. This really looked like the end for them, when suddenly…
“No!!” shouted the ruler as they leapt down from the skies right in front of the team, shielding them from the blast, but also getting severely damaged from being hit with a force so strong. It was the uniforce after all! Everyone watched in horrors as The Ruler collapsed from extreme exhaustion after such a brutal attack. “No!” cried Starla. “Ruler! Ruler, wake up!”
The Ruler was awake, but extremely weak. “You… must… protect us.” they begged. “We must have rest… before… we can fight again.”
Chrysalis laughed loudly. “The trouble is… you won’t get the chance!” she thundered at them. Even if the storm had stopped accelerating without The Ruler, Doom-Droid was free to rampage as Chrysalis wanted it to, for she still had to remain where she was in free float to keep the spell of the storm going. “Doom-Droid, destroy them now!” she ordered, but for some strange reason, Doom-Droid didn’t move, not even an inch. “Doom-Droid!” shouted Chrysalis.
“Something is wrong!” cried the robot“Every system has shut down and is slowly recharging, but I can’t seem to move at all.”
Lightning slowly got to his feet chuckling, “You’ve fallen right into our trap!”
“Trap?!” snapped the robot, and then he realized he had been outsmarted.
The teams knew all along that Lightning’s uniforce powers would have been absorbed and Doom-Droid would fire back at them. Grand Celestial Ruler was told of this, and it was planned to have them shield the team all the time as they were the only thing strong enough to withstand such a powerful force. Now the robot was drained of a lot of its power-- much like a novice when using the uniforce--, it became exhausted and was virtually powerless for the moment. “You wretched creature!” snarled Doom-Droid.
Lightning began to stomp towards the glass tube, “You just wait until I disconnect you!”
While outside, with both Doom-Droid and The Ruler still down, Twilight and the two gangs had to do their best to protect The Ruler from Chrysalis’ wrath.
“Take this…!” shouted Chrysalis as she fired a strong burst of magic. Twilight and friends countered it, and the Star Fleet fighters combined all their attacks together.
“STAR SHOWER”
“LEAF SWARM”
“PAINT BOMB”
“DRILL QUILL”
“BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS”
All those attacks, created the biggest swarm anyone had ever seen, and yet the blasts were either wiped out by the storm, or blocked by Chrysalis countering the magic with her own. “Ugh! Not a single hit!” growled Artie.
“We have to keep on trying!” cried Starla “Lightning must need more time!”
“We don’t have any more time! The storm’s getting worse.” cried Rainbow. That’s when powerful lightning struck near where the team was, knocking them all over and just barely missing The Ruler. To make matters worse, there were now more robot men coming for The Ruler, and the army of allies were starting to feel tired, and there no more reinforcements. “Spread out!” cried Twilight. “Protect The Ruler at all cost.” She wasn’t pretending to be a leader like Lightning, she really meant it, but even she and her friends were starting to lose their wind after having fought for so long and using up a lot of strength.
“Yes!” Chrysalis cheered for joy. The storm was growing, the rebels were losing power, and even if by some fluke they could overcome all the robots, she was still at full power and standing by and would be ready to battle the weak warriors herself. It seemed there was no way that she could lose. “UNITED EQUESTRIA IS MINE!!” she roared.
"Not so fast, Chrysalis!" Chrysalis gasped and look down. "You again?!" she snarled. Sapphire smirked and pulled out all the dinosaur cards. STARFLEET SLASH... DINOSAURS AWAKEN!" and just like that all the dinosaurs she had rescued so far entered the battle. They roared and charged the robot men around the Ruler. Blitz and Blossom smacked them while Blaze grabbed them in his teeth and threw them away. "Blitz, Storm, protect the ruler. The rest of you enter the battle." Sapphire ordered and the dinosaurs obeyed her and charged in. Sapphire smirked, "This battle just got prehistoric."

Episode 10: Final Part: Doing the Right Thing
Lightning immediately took out the glowing orb and the entire system shut down with them orb of dark magic and Doom-Droid shut down as well.
Outside, Sapphire took out on of Blossom's cards. "NATURE'S BLESSING!" Blossom reared up while leaves circled her and she leached them at the Ruler, healing them to full strength. They shot straight upright again. “We have returned to full strength.” it said “Now to finish this for good!”
They aimed their staff at the team, and they all began to glow mystically. “What’s this…?” asked Buddy Rose.
“I’ve never felt anything like it before.” added Artie.
“This mystical light,
It’s giving me great might!” said Rhymey.
The twins and Starla felt strong too, and The Ruler explained that they had now loaned a bit of their restored power to everyone, even Twilight and friends. Now everything was ready, except Lightning was still not free yet. “We can still try and help!” said Starla.
“Right!” said Twilight “Everyone, concentrate on Chrysalis’s spell!”
Everyone stood in line, and concentrated all their magic at Chrysalis’ spell in the sky. “Oh, no, you won’t!” growled Chrysalis “I’ll block you with everything I got!” but she soon found that her strongest power wasn’t good enough to defeat Harmony combined with Starfleet’s super power and she was forced to suddenly retreat as her spell was shattered!
“They did it!” cried Lightning.
Lightning exited the robot and joined his friends. Once they were a safe distance away, “Everyone ready?” shouted Lightning as he began to charge up the Uniforce for one big attack, and the teams and The Ruler acknowledged. “…FIRE!!” He and all his friends fired their power into The Ruler’s staff, and The Ruler sent the biggest blast ever towards Doom-Droid destroying it in a massive explosion.
With Doom-Droid gone and Chrysalis’ spell dissolved, the chaos storm ceased and the sky was only filled with regular rain clouds now which just poured plain rain down, and with the destruction of Doom-Droid, all the remaining robots shorted out and fell to bits. Grand Celestial Ruler even changed back into Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia.
“We did it!” Lightning cried, and everyone cheered for joy. "Now for Chrysalis." Lightning said. Chrysalis angrily marched through stormy and damaged streets, and the eighteen ponies rushed out to confront her! Spike and Krysta sat out of the way, for this fight was sure to be nothing short of severe.
“You might as well give up!” shouted Twilight.
Grand Ruler stepped forth “We are Starfleet!”
Celestia stood by him “We are Friendship is Magic!”
Lightning stepped at the front of the whole gang “…And you’re under arrest, Chrysalis! You’ve got no one left to fight for you.”
Chrysalis angrily pulled out two energy blades and shouted, “I DON’T NEED ANYONE!! I’LL DESTROY YOU MYSELF!!”
“…CHARGE!!” Grand Ruler shouted, and everyone began to rush towards Chrysalis.
Angrily, Chrysalis fired several blasts, but her enemies evaded each one and kept on moving towards her. Clutching her blades tightly, Chrysalis leapt up high, and Celestia leapt up and straight for her with her horn glowing ready to strike. The two soared closer and closer towards one another, but Chrysalis managed to strike Celestia and sent her crashing down hard… just like before at Cadance’s wedding. She even lost her crown again and just lay there all weak and sore!
Now Chrysalis went after all the others at once-- swinging her blades, evading and parrying every one of their attacks. She kicked Pinkie hard in the chest sending her crashing into Dyno and Myte, and knocking them out easily.
Artie tried to combat Chrysalis with his staff, but she knocked it put of his hands, slashed at him twice, and threw him hard into air, straight into Rainbow. The two came crashing back down to the ground hard.
No matter how hard the team tried, Chrysalis’ seemed to really have the upper hand. Rarity and Twilight tried to blast her, but Chrysalis flicked the shots back with her cape and blasted them herself, really hurting them.
Buddy Rose and Applejack tried to lasso her, but she managed to yank them towards her and punch them both hard. Fluttershy and Rhymey went after her, but she dodged them both and slashed hard at Fluttershy sending her slamming into Rhymey.
Spike and Krysta watched helplessly as their friends were falling faster than ever. “They can’t last much longer!” cried Spike.
“No! They can do it! I know they can!” snapped Krysta.
Chrysalis turned and saw the last of the fighters charging at her at once. “CHRYSALIS!!” shouted Lightning. Chrysalis angrily fired a huge blast, and shot most of the fighters down hard-- all of the injured and twitching on the ground.
Only Lightning managed to get to his feet and he and Sapphire were the only ones standing. Sapphire growled and changed into a large wolf. "Bring it, flea bag!" Chrysalis challenged. Sapphire charged and knocked Chrysalis to the ground. Chrysalis punched Sapphire in the face but Sapphire was far from finished. The two slammed onto the ground and Sapphire repeatedly bit Chrysalis on the neck and face, injuring her. Fur was flying and magic was being shot as well. What a sight!
Chrysalis roared angrily, as her body glowed n dark flames! Sapphire howled and coated herself in all of the magic she had. The two furious fighters charged at one another and collided into one another, causing the biggest and deadliest of explosions that shook the ground, everyone covered their eyes.
When the brightness faded, they all gazed on ahead, “SAPPHIRE!!!” everyone screamed
The dust from the explosion cleared and Sapphire was still alive and she still had a lot of fight left inside of her. Her fur was burnt in some places and she had some blood dripping but she was very much alive.
Everyone was all badly banged up and sore and struggling just to try and get up again. Even Chrysalis was in a mess. She was no longer in her evil human form, and was back to her normal shape. She was badly bruised, her hair was tangled and her face was badly scrapped and bleeding. She roared very loudly in rage and pain!
Grand Ruler, still weak and sore, barely managed to get to his feet and confront her and stared the mangled changeling down. She glared and him and growled. “I’ve waited for this… for a long… long time!” her voice sounded weak and raspy.
Grand Ruler struggled to stay on his feet. “My… solemn oath… is to protect this universe from all evil, despicable creatures like you.... AND I PROMISE YOU… I’LL SEE YOU PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES YET!!”
Trying to catch her breath, Chrysalis sneered “Don’t… make promises… you can’t keep!”
They both gazed around at the fallen fighters, not to mention all the destruction that the battle and storm had caused. “You want me? Then come and get me!” growled Chrysalis.
Grand Ruler gritted his teeth, and began to inch towards her, but Chrysalis blasted him back hard, right onto a pile of rubble. “Celesto!” shrieked Celestia. Her husband was okay, but Chrysalis, even in her weakened state managed to run off.
“No!!” cried Lightning. “We’ve got to… go… after her!”. Sapphire raced after her along with Snowflake.
Everyone agreed, and managed to get to their feet, and they all spread out-- limping and struggling with their injuries. Chrysalis couldn’t have gone very far for a creature in her condition, but it wasn’t easy to find her.
Finally, Sapphire and Snowflake chased her to a cavern, where the war first began. “Chrysalis!” shouted a voice. Chrysalis turned and saw Starla. Starla then fired a small beam from her horn at Chrysalis knocking her into a hard wall.
She retreated to the entrance of the cave only to find she was completely surrounded. “End of the line for you!” snarled Applejack.
“Make it easier and just give up already!” growled Buddy Rose.
Chrysalis groveled angrily, “I’ll never give in! You may have one this round, but I’ll gather my strength, and I will strike again!”
“What for?” snarled Shining Armor “It’s bad enough you fed off the emotions of other creatures, but you always destroyed the planet you hoped to conquer.”
Chrysalis gasped, and she realized he was right. Just one look at the bad shape the planet was in made her realize that perhaps she had gone too far even for her own limits, but still she didn’t feel like surrendering. “But what am I to do? I need the sustenance! I need to stay alive!” she thundered “You all couldn’t possibly know what it’s like having to be a wretched creature that scrapes for sustenance on emotions. I need to feed, and I need to live!”
“But you don’t need to destroy. You don’t need to go to all this trouble!” growled Lightning. “Can’t you see that all you’re doing is causing more problems for yourself, as well as us?”
“Huh?” remarked Chrysalis.
"We’re not like you.” Celestia said “We all have our needs and desires, but we all know there are better ways to obtain them.”
Grand Ruler nodded. “Think of it, Chrysalis? Would you really want to continue on this path, and instead of obtaining what you desire you only are awarded with the exact opposite, and are forced to the point where you may perish from lack of nourishment because of your foolish ways?”
Chrysalis was starting to feel strange inside. Things she had never felt before-- Shame, guilt, and most importantly the realization that the others were right. What good was there gaining the energy she needed when all her actions did was create more difficulty for herself. "It's true Chyrsalis." And that's when Pyrite appeared before her. "... Pyrite? Is that you?"
"Yes mother, it's me."
"You look different."
"I am because I shared my love instead of stealing which is what I wanted to do from the start. With Sapphire's help and the rest of Starfleet, I changed and now I'm... this." Chrysalis was speechless.
“Please, Chrysalis…” Lightning said “Let’s end this suffering… for all of us, and you.”
Chrysalis hesitated a moment, and then realized that maybe it was possible for her to exist without bringing more misery, she agreed to try, but there would be no promises, and she knew where to start. She stood tall and proud and proclaimed “I’m ready… to pay for everything I’ve done.”
As much as it was difficult for the others to believe, they knew Chrysalis meant those words as she got down on one knee, bowing her head in full surrender.
Celestia and Grand Ruler nodded at one another. They held their hands together and cast Chrysalis into red cube of liquid instead of a blue sphere. She had finally been captured, and was soon placed in the prison caverns where she’d soon be sent to a high security prison on one of the other planets.
Hopefully one day, with luck, she and the changelings could serve their sentences and be rehabilitated. No one ever though a more next-impossible thing, but regardless of it all...
...The war was finally over! With the war over, all the creatures came back to United Equestria, and everyone helped to repair everything. After a couple of weeks, all the damages were repaired, all the buildings were restored, and life returned to normal. Even the New Crystal Empire was restored, meaning Cadance and Shining Armor could finally move back to their own palace, but they still stuck around for a while longer to help out with the repairs.
Now that the Dark Planet was no longer cursed by evil and completely uninhabited, Grand Ruler and the Queen sent parties there to fix it up and cleanse it of all the darkness leftover. Soon the planet was made into a vacationing paradise world, and it was renamed Planet-R-L-X. Soon it would be fully open for business and travelers could vacation there.
A celebration was held in honor of the ultimate victory and end of the war.
Their majesties handed out medals and awards to Lightning and all his friends for their acts of extreme bravery and assistance in the war. Sapphire, for her assistance with her dragons and dinosaurs, was now promoted to Captain.
Now there was nothing left to do but celebrate. A great party was held in New Canterlot, all over the village-- games, dances, songs, and plenty of food and fun for everyone. There was even a good portion of the party allowed to go on inside the palace so that Goldwin could attend.
Everyone was still working on how to stabilize the spell on his mask so he could permanently be alive and would one day be allowed to leave the palace like a normal pony, and now that the war was over everyone would have all the time in the world to find the answer. Goldwin, though sad he still couldn’t leave the palace, was happy that he had lots of friends, more than ever, and he knew that someday his dream would come true.
For now, this was not a time to be sad.
Easily a lot of the creatures enjoyed the songs…
A large stage was at the edge of the fields with some of the Wonderbolts, who were skilled at playing music, and anyone was permitted to come and do a song for everyone, maybe even a wild dance or too.
Pinkie Pie sure enjoyed singing songs of happiness.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders even sang a few songs of their own.
However, Lightning, Twilight, and their friends wanted to sing a very special song they had all been saving and working on. Lightning and Twilight were the main singers, and everyone else would do their part. It was a message to share to everyone that they would always be there to look out for them, and a warning to evil races that would dare try and oppose them.
“Are we ready…?” Lightning shouted “ARE WE READY…?”
The crowds all cheered, and held up their limbs, wings or whatever it was, and the rock music began to play, as the lights on the stage began to flicker around as some ponies released fog onto the stage to give it more of a wild scene, Dyno and Myte even signaled their team of workers to ignite the fireworks they had built to play during the song.
(Skip to 1:15)
Finally the music began to play wildly, and Lightning began to sing…
A very long instrumental followed as the Wonderbolts played the song on their instruments. The lights and fireworks illuminated the whole village, and the teams began to dance wildly on stage. The crowds cheered more and more and got louder and louder.
The song could even be heard from the palace where those who were partying there were dancing and cheering with such joy. Cadence sure seemed to be in high spirits again, and Luna never knew she could dance so well. “You’re a natural, your highness.” Goldwin complimented.
Celestia and Grand Ruler were enjoying everything. They even danced themselves too. Dusk and Dawn, still having the mischievous side, picked up the two alicorns and placed them on their backs then flew into the air. "GAH! Boys, stop it this instant! AHHH!" Celestia cried but their Zippleback didn't listen.
Outside, everyone in the village was partying wildly with all the fun and excitement, and on stage, the teams were still dancing wildly, and Lightning and Starla even found a small moment to kiss in front of everyone. Starla even perked her leg up. This really wooed the crowd and their friends.
Once they separated, they all began to sing the final verse, and everyone in the entire village joined with them.
“Come on now… Everybody!” shouted Lightning. As the song came to a close Lightning told everyone to get ready for the big finish “Ready…? Three… Two… One…!”
STARFLEEEEEEEEEEEEET…!!!
