Sombra had called his minions before him. "So what's the plant now, Master?" Frost asked.

"I want you three to steal something from that pesky human hybrid." Sombra said. "With her out of the picture, Starfleet will fall much easier, heheh."

"So what do you want us to steal?" Breaker asked.

"I want you to steal her magic." Sombra said.

"Her magic?"

"Yes, I've required a special spell that will help you do it." Sombra gave the minions the scroll. "But Master, what about her Element, that thing won't let a spell get near her if we try anything." Flame pointed out.

"Then steal her element as well." Sombra snapped. "Now go!"

The minions nodded and they teleported away.


Meanwhile, Sapphire was walking with their majesties, Lightning and Krysta in the palace. "So have you found anything on your scepter?" Lightning asked.

"No, nothing yet." Sapphire said.

"So are you going to enter the Star Singer competition?" Krysta asked.

The Star Singer competition is and singing competition where ponies enter and try to win a trophy. Their majesties were to be the judges for the competition. "You really should, it would be fun for you." Lightning agreed. Sapphire thought about it for a moment, "I'll think about it. I'm gonna go see Mykan. Bye everyone." Sapphire flew out of the window and to Mykan's house where she found him ptting Lycanroc and Snowflake. "Hey Sapphire." he greeted.

"Hi Mykan."

Snowflake rubbed against Sapphire's legs. "Hehe, hi Snowflake." Sapphire cooed. She petted Snowflake on the head. The Light Fury purred at her touch. "So are you gonna enter the singing compititon?" Mykan brought up.

"Don't know yet." Sapphire said. "Need time to think about it."

Just then, the alarms went off and screams were heard from outside. "Trouble." Sapphire grumbled.

Mykan and Sapphire ran outside with the pokemon and Snowflake and saw the minions roaming the streets. "Ah, my target has arrived." she hissed.

"What do you three want?" Mykan hissed.

"We'll show you." Frost hissed. Flame rushed towards Sapphire and took the Element gem out of her necklace. "My element!" Sapphire cried.

"And that's not all." Flame used the spell Sombra gave her and Sapphire's magic was drained from her horn and body. Sapphire grunted in pain as Flame stole her magic and Frost placed it in a magic proof jar. When the transition was completed Sapphire collapsed on the ground. "Sapphire!" Mykan cried as he rushed to her side. The minions laughed. "Better luck next time, losers!" Frost laughed as he and the minions teleported away. That's when Lightning and the team arrived. "Mykan? Sapphire, what happened?"

Sapphire sat up and opened her eyes. Everyone gasped when they saw they were milky white. "What happened to Sapphire?" Rainbow asked.

"The minions came and stole her element and Flame blasted her with some kind of spell and took her magic!" Mykan exclaimed. The friends gasped in shock. Sapphire to get up, but her legs felt very weak and she fell again. "Easy sugarcube." Applejack said.

"But why would they steal her magic and Element?" Fluttershy asked.

"Sombra must have wanted them too and now that they have both her Element and Magic-" Lightning started.

"they could become unstoppable!" ." Starla finished. The team realized the seriousness of the situation. If Sombra or the minions absorb Sapphire's magic and get the Element under their control they will be nearly impossible to defeat. Sapphire looked down in the dumps. Fluttershy patted her on the back. 'Don't worry Sapphire, we'll get your magic and Element back." Sapphire tried to smile but it just turned back into a frown.

"Mykan, can you take her to your house?" Lightning asked. Mykan nodded. "The rest of you come with me, we've got some bad guys to find." Lightning and the others rocketed off while Mykan took Sapphire home. Mykan layed Sapphire on the couch and she breathed out, like a sigh. Mykan, Snowflake and the pokemon felt pity on her. "Lightning and the others will get your magic and Element of Harmony back, Sapphire." he reassured.

That didn't cheer Sapphire up one bit. Snowflake then took out the guitar she was playing before and presented it to Sapphire. Her rider looked at her, curiously. Snowflake nudged the guitar to her. Sapphire picked up and she began playing the guitar. It made her feel considerably better.

Lightning and the others landed in New Ponyville and found the civilians with their eyes glowing green. "What's with these ponies?" Rainbow asked.

"Hello, Losers." a voice called. The team looked and saw the minions holding Sapphire magic in the jar and with Flame holding Sapphire's element which was glowing black instead of rainbow colors. "Give us back Sapphire's magic and her Element of harmony." Lightning demanded.

"As if Commander. I would worry more about yourselves. With her Element under our control, you will be history. Hahaha!" Flame forced the Element to fire a bea of dark magic towards the ponies. They dodged it but Flame continued blasting at them.

Sapphire was still gently playing her guitar when she sensed something and perked up. "Sapphire, what's wrong?" Mykan asked. Sapphire got up, carrying the guitar and flew out the door. "Sapphire, wait!" Mykan called as he and the dragons flew after her. They made it to New Ponyville where they saw Flame firing at Lightning and the team with Sapphire's infected Element of Harmony. "Oh-no, that's not good." Mykan said. "We've gotta help them." He was about fly down there when Sapphire held him back. "Sapphire! We help them?"

"My Element is under their control now. Attacking them will only make the Element protect them. I have to get my Element back under my control."

"But how, you don't have your magic."

"No, but I have something just as powerful." Sapphire turned to her pokemon and Snowflake who cried out in agreement. Sapphire floated down to the battlefield with Snowflake and the pokemon behind her.

She landed behind Flame whom was too busy blasting at the team to realize. Sapphire took a deep breath, "... Hey!" The minions turned around. "Ahh, came to meet your doom as well, huh?" Flame taunted.

"Give me back my Element and magic!" Sapphire demanded.

"Then come and get them." Frost challenged.

"Gladly. Lycanroc, Accelarock!" Lycanroc glowed and charged Frost, knocking him back. "Guh!" Breaker growled and lunged towards the wolf pokemon. "Use Stone Edge!" Lycanroc howled and slammed the ground making large, glowing rock appear. The rocks slammed into Breaker sending him flying. "Alright, Sapphire!" Lightning cheered.

"Go get 'em!" Pinkie added.

"Now use Rock Throw!" Lycanroc howled and launched rocks at all three minions, knocking them down once more. Sapphire rushed over and yanked her Element out of Flames' hand and took the jar as well. "Hey!" Flame cried. Sapphire smashed the jar and her magic returned to her horn and she felt like her normal self. The minions growled as they stood up again. They knew they could not win this round, "We'll be back, Starfleet!" Flame declared and the three teleported away.

Lightning and the others came up to Sapphire, "Glad to have you back, Sapphire."

"Glad to be back, Lightning." Sapphire said with a smile on her face.


That late afternoon, night had fallen and the singing competition began. Ponies and other creatures came from all over United Equestria to either watch or participate. Many ponies and creatures played their own songs in solos or partners. Their majesties picked three finalist for the final round.

Sapphire, Pinkie Pie and... Star.

Yep, the pony had returned to once again beat Sapphire in a competition.... even though everybody knew she would lose to Sapphire anyway.

Star was up. She sang a song about... well... herself.

When she was done the crowd cheered loudly for her. Sapphire was up next. She wore a pretty dress that Rarity made her. It was a rainbow colored dress with ribbons coming around her waist. Her hair had been straightened and was hanging down near her shoulders.

(Like this, but for her humanoid body)

Star came backstage with a smirk on her face. "Beat that, Sapphire."

"She can and she will." a voice said. The girls turned and saw Mykan dressed in tuxedo coming to Sapphire's side. "Mykan, what are you doing here?" Sapphire asked.

"I'm here to sing with you." Mykan replied. Sapphire smiled, "Really?" Mykan nodded while Star huffed and walked off.

"Sapphire and Mykan, you two are up." the announcer called.

Sapphire silently gulped, "Don't worry, you'll be fine." Mykan reassured. Sapphire nodded and they both went out of stage. Music began to play as she took a deep breath and began singing.

The crowd went wild and roared with applause. Sapphire only smiled while blushing.

The last three finalist walked out to the stage. "Alright judges, do we have a winner?"

Their majesties looked at each other and nodded. Together they said, "The winner or winners are... Sapphire and Mykan!"

Sapphire and Mykan gasped and high-five each other. Star scoffed and walked off of the stage, humiliated. The crowd cheered loudly in excitement. Luna came out on stage and gave the two their trophy. The two couldn't help but smile at each other.


After the competition. Sapphire was playing her guitar in front of everybody and they were having a good time. Their majesties were even jamming to the rhythm of the song with Lightning and the team.
