My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: Season 3

It was a beautiful day in United Equestria. Months have passed since the defeat of Sienna and since Sapphire started reforming her and her little brother Mako. Captain Sapphire was now training with Scepter of Harmony. "Okay girl... let's try this.. Vanish." The jewel glowed brightly and Sapphire vanished into thin air and then reappeared once more. "Okay..." she pointed to a training dummy. "Levitate." the jewel and the box glowed and levitated off of the floor.

"Well, well, well, looks like someone has been practicing." a voice suddenly came, shocking Sapphire and almost making her drop her scepter. She turned and saw Lightning and the others at the door. "How long have you all been there?" she asked.

"Long enough to see you getting better with your Scepter, sugarcube." Applejack said. Sapphire blushed a little. "Hehe, come on now."

"No we mean it, you've been doing amazing with the Scepter of Harmony, it's amazing." Lightning Dawn praised.

"Si Chica." Dyno added.

"You're very good at it." Myte added. "Now Vamos, their majesties want to see us for dinner." Sapphire nodded and soon the whole gang was in the dining room, having dinner with their majesties. "Sapphire, you've shown great improvement over a short period of time. We are all very proud of you" Celestia commented. Sapphire blushed."Yeah, sugarcube, you got this down faster than us when we were training." Applejack commented.

"Indeedy." Pinkie Pie added.

"Hehehe. Thanks you guys." Sapphire said.

Suddenly, the alarms sounded and Goldwin, a magic statue brought to life by a magic mask, burst into the room.

"Guys, it's horrible, you better come quick." he cried.

"Slow down Goldwin-- what's wrong?" Celstia asked.

"I was staring at the clouds out the window when I saw down below in the village... King Sombra." Everybody gasped in horror! "impossible! We destroyed him!" Starla cried. "Whose King Sombra?" Sapphire asked, having never heard of him before.

"He's an evil unicorn with a heart as black as knight." Lightning replied. "We destroyed him months ago, but he seems to have returned."

"Let's not dwell on that now." Grand Ruler said.

"Let's go you, guys." Artie asked.

"We're coming to." Celestia called.

"What about me?" Sapphire asked.

"You will stay here, Sapphire." Grand Ruler replied, “You don't know King Sombra like we do and this battle may be too dangerous for you."

"Okay." Sapphire replied. She watched as her friends ran out of the dining room and into the village, while Goldwin her stayed and they both looked out the window. Sombra was strolling down the village streets, while the villagers ran away in fear and utter panic. Alongside him were his three minions. They were all demoncorns.

Breaker: A brown burly-looking unicorn stallion with a black mane and tail who wore and black cloak. He was stronger than his two comrades. His magic specialty was ground and earth.

Flame: A red unicorn mare with a orange mane and tail. Her magic specialty was strictly fire and heat.

And Frost: A light blue unicorn stallion with a dark blue mane and tail. His magic specialty was water and ice.

"Looks like they haven't put out the welcome mat for us." Sombra said.

"Think again!" A voice shouted from behind. Sombra and his minions turned and saw Lighting, his friends, the mane 5, Spike, their majesties and Princess Luna, Cadence and Shining Armor. "Well, well, well look whose here." Frost added.

"What do you want this time Sombra?" Starla snarled.

"That's none of your business! Now, let's get started so we can destroy you." Flame taunted.

"Let's go guys!" Lightning said.

"STARFLEET MAGIC"

Lightning: Power of Believing

Starla: Power of Space

Buddy: Power of Flora

Artie: Power of Art

Rhymey: Let us begin...Power of the wind

Dyno and Myte: Power of Fire

Then the girls transformed...

"HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!"

And finally little Spike....

"DRAGON POWER!"

"Warrior-mode, go!" Celestia and Luna transformed into their warrior garments. Cadence changed into the Silent-Ninja and Shining Armor turned into Saber. The two sides glared fiercely at each other, until Sombra and Grand Ruler shouted, "ATTACK...!"The two sides charged each other, yelling like true warriors. Lightning and friends dealt with the minions while the royal ones dealt with Sombra.

Shining Armor, Luna, Cadence, Celestia and Grand Ruler kicked, punched and blasted Sombra with their magic, but Sombra took their attacks like they were nothing. Same thing with the minions. Lightning's friends threw their attacks at her.

“STAR SHOWER”

“LEAF SWARM”

“PAINT BOMB”

“DRILL QUILL”

"BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS"

However, it was like throwing a small pebble in front of a moving train. The friendship ponies all kicked and punched her but she didn't even flinch. Applejack tried to lasso her, but the minions simply dashed out of the way. "Too easy." Sombra thought. They both blasted the ponies with shockwaves, sending them flying. Goldwin and Jewel were horrified. The ponies struggled to stand up again, "They are way stronger than before. How can that be?" Grand Ruler asked.

The ponies got up and charged the duo again, but Sombra and the minions dashed towards them and began punching and kicking them all ruthlessly, really hurting them. Sombra and the minions blasted them back hard. Lightning and all his friends as well as Cadence, Luna and Celestia de-energized from weakness. Shining Armor’s mask fell off from the explosion, turning him back into his unicorn self.

"Esto es terrible What are we gonna do?" Dyno cried.

"They're just.... too strong... for us" Myte added.

Sombra and his minions laughed maliciously and combined their magic, trapping the ponies in a cage with special bars that wouldn't allow them to use any form of magic."Hey! Let us go this instant!" growled Grand Ruler.

"Not a chance!" Breaker replied, angrily.

"Hahahaha! After all these years of suffering, we will finally have our revenge on Starfleet." Sombra snarled. With that, Sombra and the minions teleported away, along with the captured ponies. Up in the palace, Sapphire, Snowflake and Goldwin saw the whole battle and were extremely worried. "No, no, no, this is really bad! What do we do?" Goldwin said in near panic. Jewel was stunned and horrified by what she just saw.

Everybody in New Canterlot felt the same. Sapphire and Goldwin were immediately called to the throne room. They saw the captain of the royal guard, Captain Shaina. She heard what happened and was desperately worried. "We'll have to plan a rescue mission." She said.

"But, how? We saw how strong they are now! They creamed Lightning and the others. There's nobody left that can defeat them." Goldwin protested.

"But, there's one human they haven't faced." Shaina said, slyly, while turning to Sapphire. She saw everybody looking at her with hope in their eyes and caught on. "M-Me!" Sapphire said.

"Of course you, you're very powerful hybrid." Goldwin said.

"But I don't know Sombra's powers like my friends do." Sapphire rebutted.

"Yes, but Sombra and the minions don't know anything about you, so they don't know your attacks or what you are capable of." Shania added. "They don't know about your dragon or pokemon either." Ampharos, Lycanroc and Noctowl came onto the scene.

"Lycanroc."

"Ampharos."

"Hoo."

Sapphire thought for a moment. Her friends were in serious trouble. The fate of United Equestria was at stake! If she doesn't do anything, who knows what Sombra and the minions will do to them and the planet.

"Okay. I'll do, but do you really think I can do it..... by myself?" She asked.

Goldwin, Shaina looked at each other and nodded. Shaina began to sing:

https://m.

(Shaina)

Everybody has times in their lives

When their hearts are filled with doubt

(Sapphire)

Fear and nerves builds up inside

And it makes you want to run

(Goldwin)

But if you just take that first step

The next one will appear

(Goldwin and Shaina)

And you find you can walk, then run

Then fly...!

Into the stratosphere

You've got to give it your best

So you can save the day

Give it everything that you've got

Your friends don't have much time

Now it your time to shine

Have to put that training to the test now

(Sapphire)

There are times when you want to give up

When you think that you can't go on

(Goldwin and Shaina)

But if you fight through with all of your might

You will find that you can't go wrong

That you could do it all along

(Shaina)

Everybody has times in their lives

When their hearts are filled with doubt

(Shania)

But if you just give it your all

You'll start to work it out

(Sapphire)

And I know I can't give up too soon

Get myself in the zone

And I find I can walk, then run

(All)

Then fly...!

(Jewel)

I can do it on my own

(Goldwin and Shaina)

You can do it on your own

(Sapphire)

I can do it on my own

I can do it on my own

"You're right! I can do this. Only one problem.. Where did Sombra take them?" Sapphire asked. Lycanroc sniffed the ground, picked up their scent. "Lycanroc!"

"You have their scent, girl?" Sapphire asked.

Lycanroc nodded. "Alright then, let's go girls." Sapphire, Ampharos and Lycanroc mounted Snowflake and they all flew off towards Fire Mountain with Noctowl following.

Sombra and his minions had brought the captured gang into their chamber lair. Sombra levitated the cage up and over a large pool of lava and tied a strong chain to it. His minions were watching the surrounding areas on the monitors.

"You won't get away with this Sombra." Celestia growled. Sombra chuckled, "Oh on the contrary, Celestia. No one would be foolish enough to challenge me with my evolved dark magic and my powerful demoncorn minions at my side." Sombra and the minions laughed and as much as the team wanted not to believe, he was right. If they couldn't take down Sombra, what chances were that anybody else could?

"Master, there's something coming this way." Frost called.

"What?" Sombra snarled. "Who?"

Frost showed the images on the monitor, shocking the team. "It's Sapphire and Snowflake!" Pinkie cried.

"Ahh, so the little human thinks she can come in and be the hero, huh?" Sombra hissed.

"If you lay a hand on her, I'll destroy you!" Grand Ruler exclaimed.

Sombra let out a hearty laugh, "Oh Pu-lease, three horn, I have something special planned for that girl. Frost, Flame, you know what to do."

Frost and Flame nodded and raced out of the lair. The team was now very worried for Sapphire.

The trio were a few miles away but they all could see Fire Mountain from there. "There it is... Fire Mountain." Sapphire said. "Hopefully getting there won't be any trouble." Unfortunately, she was proven wrong when a stream of ice came and almost hit Snowflake if she hadn't few up and avoided it. "Woah! What was that?"

Sapphire got her answer when Flame and Frost appeared. "So you came to rescue your friends, huh?" Frost hissed. "Well, your not gonna live to rescue them."

Frost fired a stream of ice at Snowflake but she fired her plasma blast, pushing the ice back and striking Frost, hard. "Ugh!" Flame blasted a stream of fire from her mouth, but Snowflake flew up and dove towards him and blinding speeds. Noctowl came in and firedan Air Slash attack, hitting Frost hard. Ampharos shocked Flame with a Thunderbolt attack, stunning him for a moment. Lycanroc jumped into the air and used Rock Throw. Rocks formed at the ends of his tail and launched them at Frost and Flame, hitting them hard and sneding them both to the ground. "Well.. that was surprisingly easy." she commented.

Frost and Flame burst from the ground, looking furious now. "Alright, now you're dead!" Frost cried. She and Flame combined their magic and fired a large stream of magic at Sapphire, the pokemon and Snowflake. Sapphire gasped and used her magic to create a large shield around her and her friends, the blast was deflected back at the two demoncorns. "... Uh-Oh."

KAPOW! What an explosion, the two demoncorns crashed to the ground once again. "Quick, into the volcano!" Sapphire cried. Snowflake swiftly flew to Fire Mountain.

Sombra and Breaker, meanwhile, saw everything on the monitors and were not happy. "So that girl thinks she can win so easily? Well, I have another trick up my sleeve." Lightning and the other didn't like the sound of that. Sombra turned to them.

"In the meantime, I'll just destroy you all right here." Sombra pulled a lever on the monitor controls and the cage started to be lowered towards the pool of lava. "Galloping Galaxies!" Buddy cried.

"That little human will never get here in time to save you." Breaker said with glee. The Space Ponies tried to break the cage, but their super strengths didn't make so much as a dent in the bars. Their only hope now was Sapphire.

Shadowbolt guards were walking through the tunnels. Sapphire and her dragons sneaked past them when they were going down another tunnel. Sapphire's heart was slightly racing and she was sweating nervously. "Man, this isn't anything like the training Lightning put me through. How I gonna defeat Sombra and rescue my friends all by myself?" she questioned.

Snowflake rubbed against her rider.

"Lycanroc?"

"I have been training for months, I have my scepter and my magic, but I don't know if it'll be enough."

In a bright ball of light, Astral Twilight showed up once again. "You can do it, Sapphire."

"Astral Twilight?"

"You may think you are alone, but you're not." Twilight said. "You have your dragon friends with you."

"Yes, but Sombra has powerful dark magic. How can I counter that?"

"By using the magic that defeated him before; The Magic of Friendship."

"The Magic of Friendship?" Twilight nodded. "It is what they used to defeat Sombra before. Now it's your turn to use it." Twilight gave her a confident smile, "I have every confident you will succeed with you mission. You just have to believe in yourself. I must go now, Sapphire. Remember what I said."

With that Twilight disappeared in a flash of light. "Believe in myself.... I think I can do that." she gulped nervously and took a deep breath. "I can do this!"

The dragons smiled at the rider's newfound confidence. "Come on girl, we've got some friends to save!"

The cage was now halfway to the pool of lava. "Ooooh, what do we do?" Fluttershy cried.

"There's nothing we can do. Our powers are useless." Lightning replied.

"Correct." Sombra said. "Finally, I'll get rid of you pesky ponies forever. HAHAHA!"

Suddenly....

"Not while I'm around!"

Everybody looked and saw Sapphire and Snowflake. The dragons and pokemon were growling angrily at Sombra. "Sapphire, get out of here. He's too powerful!" Lightning pleaded.

"He's right chica." Dyno said.

"Run away." Myte added.

"No! I'm not leaving until you all are safe." she objected. Lightning and his friends were very concerned. Their majesties were also concerned, but at the same time impressed by Sapphire's bravery.

"You made a big mistake coming here, human. And now your going to face the consequences." Sombra threatened. He lunged at Sapphire. Sapphire leaped over him and tackled him to the ground. "Let my friends go!" she grunted. Sombra flipped Sapphire over and was now ontop. "Never!"

Sapphire kicked Sombra off and charged him once again. Snowflake flew up to the cage. "Snowflake, get us out of here!" Rarity cried.

"Yeah, before we're cooked." Pinkie added.

Before the dragon could blast the cage open, Breaker flew in and launched a large rock and the duo, forcing her away from the cage. "You'll have to get past me, if you want them." he challenged. That's when Frost and Flame showed up. They were a little battered but nowhere near beaten. "And us." Frost said. Snowflake growled and flew straight at them. Noctowl and Lycanroc on the other hand, were headed for Lightning and the others. Noctowl flew over to the cage while Lycanroc leaped over the medium stepping stones in the lava and was right underneath the cage. "Lycanroc." Lycanroc leaped into the air and unleashed Rock Throw, but it scratched the cage and did not break the bars. "Lycanroc." Noctowl unleashed Air Slash at the bars but it was the same result. "Hoot." Lycanroc and Noctowl tried again while Sapphire and Sombra were still brawling and seemed to be evenly match somehow. Sapphire matched Sombra's punches, kicks and blocks perfectly. She blasted Sombra with her magic, sending him skidding back. "Grrr.... alright, no more playing around." Sombra growled.

Sombra roared and flared up with his dark magic, catching the attention of everyone.

Sombra suddenly dashed up to Sapphire started bombarding her with punches.She used her shield spell to defend herself and spread out the shield, sending Sombra into the wall. Sombra was now furious. Sombra fired a shockwave at Sapphire, stunning her and He blasted her hard with his dark magic. The gang watched in horror as Sapphire fell to the ground. Her pokemon gasped in orr as well.

"SAPPHIRE!" the ponies cried.

Sombra floated down to the small crater and stared down at Sapphire. She had a black eye, bruises everywhere and mane was matted and tangled. "Looks like this is your final curtain. Too bad you couldn't save them. You were just too pathetic to do it. Now say goodbye!" Sombra said.

He powered up his magic and fired the finished blow.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" The gang cried.

Just as the beam was about to hit. Sapphire felt the a spark of magical energy run through her. She leaped out of the crater and punched the beam, canceling it.

"What?!" Sombra cried.

The gang, minions and dragons were shocked. Sapphire's whole body glowed brighter than ever....

Sapphire's outfit changed and her appearance changed as well. Her wings turned thin, sparkly and transparent. She gained a skirt with dragon symbols on it and pictures of the Elements of Harmony. She gained armor as well like her Valkyrie form but it seemed thicker than normal and her Scepter turned into a sword. She let out a loud roar with her eyes glowing white.

Her friends and pokemon stared in awe. "Galloping Galaxies" Lightning gasped.

Sombra growled at Sapphire and she raised her sword, blasting Sombra hard and sending him into the wall.

"Awesome!" Rainbow dash added.

"Cool!" agreed Lightning.

Sombra got up and roared in anger. He launched himself at Sapphire but she dodge and slashed him with her sword, creating a massive explosion, consuming him in the blast. "Master!" the minions cried as they rushed to his side. Ampharos went to the control panel and pushed the lever up, causing the cage to stop mere inches from the lava. The ponies and Spike sighed in relief. Snowflake, Noctowl and Lycanroc blasted the cage opened and they all flew out.

Sapphire landed on the ground, just as the minions helped their injured master to his feet. "This isn't over, Sapphire. I will be back!" Sombra declared. His minions teleported away with their master. Sapphire glowed again and changed back into her human self. Her injuries were healed again, but she was extremely exhausted. Her friends rushing towards her was the last thing she saw before she passed out.

Beep... Beep... Beep

When she woke up, Sapphire saw all of her friends by her bedside. "Hey there, sleepy head. How are you feeling?" Starla cooed.

"A little tired, but alright." Sapphire replied in a woozy voice. Artie poured her a cup of water and handed it to her. "Thanks." Sapphire gulped down the liquid until it was all gone. "We're so glad you're alright, we were really worried. Especially Lightning." Buddy added.

Sapphire looked around and saw that she was in a hospital bed. "What happened?" Jewel asked. "After you passed out, we brought you here to the royal sickbay." Starla explained.

"What about Snowflake and my pokemon?"

"They are fine. They're outside the room. They seem a little worried." Buddy explained. "Dr. Penny says you'll make a full recovery."

"Good, I wanna see Lightning." Right after she said that, Lightning popped into the room with the four royal alicorns and Shining Armor.

"Did someone call for me." Lightning joked.

"Lightning!" Sapphire cried, happily.

Lightning came to her bedside and they both hugged. "It's good to see you awake, Sapphire."

"It's good that you all are safe." she replied.

"I'm very proud of you, Sapphire. Using what you've learned to save us. You've impressed me, my brave pony." Lightning praised.

"Indeed, you were very brave, Sapphire. I don't think any other creature would have done what you did." Celesto added.

Everybody nodded in agreement. "Now, it's time to celebrate! Yeah!" Pinkie suddenly screamed. Sapphire groaned and held her head at Pinkie's screaming. "Pinkie!" Starla hissed.

"Oh, sorry." PInkie apologized.

Sapphire gave her a tired smile. "It's alright, Pinkie." That's when Dr. Penny came into the room. "Alright everyone, Sapphire needs her rest. You all can come back tomorrow." Snowflake roared softly. "Including you. Don't worry, she'll be well cared for."

One-by-one, the ponies, Mykan and Spike left the room and exited the sickbay along with Snowflake and the pokemon. "That Sapphire sure is something." Pinkie said.

"Indeed. We will have to keep an eye on Sapphire, but for now we must focus on Sombra. With his return, who knows what scheme he's planning." Grand Ruler said.

The team nodded, knowing that had a long battle ahead of them. United Equestria was at war with an old enemy.
