My Brave Pony: Starfleet Redone Season I

Episode 2: Finding her Place/New Enemy

Previous Chapter

It was a beautiful day in United Equestria, there had not been any danger for several months since the last attack from Titan and his forces.

Now, everything was blissful again.

Many pony adults went to work while children went to school, and Starfleet continued to patrol the planet and many other sectors of the known galaxy to be on the alert of any dangerous enemies.

Mykan Stevens, the only human on the planet from Earth was really getting into his new life since he decided to stay and live amongst the ponies. He really enjoyed his new job teaching colts and fillies more about his world, while at the same time being an axillary member of Starfleet.

His best friend, Sapphire, was also getting used to her new life. Even today she was seen walking through New Canterlot with her backpack filled with supplies.

Every single day there's something new you can plan for

Every single day there's something wonderful to do

But nothing makes me happy like a day that I can say

"Today I helped somebody, and it might be you!"

As she walked through New Canterlot, the high class ponies greeted her with either a wave or a 'Hello'. Not all of them acted so stuck up and high class.

Don't have much time to gather
All the things I need
If I'm really gonna make my new home fly
For today's another day
That all New Canterlot will say

(All)

There goes our super city helper
Sapphire!

(Random Couple)

She planned our first foal
Shower where we played all sorts of
Games having so much fun as we chose
Our new foals's names

(High Class filly)

She planned my cutiniera
My dad made me I wont lie
I demanded all the best
I supposed she passed the test
Sure it was pretty good
All thanks to Sapphire

(All)

Every single day there's something
New we can plan for
Every single day there's something
Wonderful to try
But nothing makes us happy
Like a day that we can say
Today there will be someone helped by Sapphire

Now Crystal was putting together small playpen to bring to the royal palace.

(All)
There's no other hybrid like her
Nobody that could be
As great
(As great)
As fun
(As fun)
As the super city helped Sapphire!

The song ended and Sapphire, wiped some sweat from her forehead and admired the new playpen she made. "Finished. Now to bring it the royal palace." Sapphire picked up the playpen and walked to the royal palace where she was allowed in by the guards and she went to the outside training dojo. There she saw all her friends and their majesties as well as her friends children.

Lightning and Starla's child was a tiny baby humanoid alicorn foal. It had a soft white coat, two beautiful blue beady eyes, a blonde yellow mane,

Buddy and Tree Hugger's child was a little alicorn filly. Greenish in color, like Tree Hugger was, and she had a cute little tuft of red hair like her dad. Her eyes were a light blue; Named "Seedling" due to the fact that both her parents had plant-like names.

Fluttershy and Rhymey's child was a yellowish alicorn, with a little brown tuft of hair, and his eyes were green. Named Button because he was cute like one, and fly to rhyme with Fluttershy- it was Rhymey's wish. Name: Button Fly.

Rarity and Spike's child was a hybrid; a dragony, the combination of dragon and pony. 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 pony tail, 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. Name: Twilight Scales Sparkle.

Their majesties children were both white alicorns but one had a brown mane and tail; Castor and the other had a pink mane and tail; Leilani. They placed their babies in the playpen, which was under the watch of their majesties along with Shining Light, but Twilight had her own special flame-proof playpen and sat in it alone- it just wasn't safe for her to hang around the other babies, for fear she would sneeze or belch flames and hurt them.

Still, the playpens were close, and Celestia and Grand Ruler watched over all the babies. Their five year-olds, Castor and Leilani were permitted to play with the babies, but not tease them nor get into the playpens.

"Peek-a-boo." cooed Leilani, and the pony babies all laughed and giggled. Still Castor preferred to play with Twilight, and he made cute playful dragon noises that made her giggle.

The parents smiled lovingly at their children. Then Celestia and Grand Ruler noticed Sapphire. "Ah, Sapphire you made it." Grand Ruler said.

Sapphire nodded, "Here's the new playpen."

"Thank you." Celestia said.

"Sapphire! Sapphire!" Castor and Leilani cheered happily and they hugged Crystal. "Heheh, hi kids." Castor and Leliani have taken a liking to Sapphire a few days after she came to stay with Mykan. They bonded quickly with Snowflake and they liked having their small playdates with the Light Fury dragons, who would also be their babysitter when Celestia and Grand Ruler weren't around.

Then Lightning and the others came over, "Hey Sapphire.." Lightning greeted.

"Hi Commander." Sapphire said.

"Sapphire, you don't have to call me that everytime." Lightning playfully scolded.

"Hehe... force of habit." Sapphire said sheepishly. Sapphire was made a Cadet-in-training for Starfleet.

"So you wanna start more training?" Lightning asked.

Sapphire nodded and the team went through the training drills with her. She did better and better each time she did them.


Later that day

It was nighttime and Lightning and the others went home to New Ponyville, but Sapphire stayed at the palace. She walked out onto the balcony and stared at the moon. "Sapphire?"

Sapphire turned and saw their majesties. "Is something wrong?" Grand Ruler asked.

"Well.. it's just... everyone else has a purpose here. Even my friends and Mykan. They all greatly help United Equestria while I just work as a community worker... I just... feel like maybe there's something more that I can do to help.." Music started playing and Sapphire broke into song.

https://m.

It isn't that I'm ungrateful
For all the things that I've earned,
For all the journeys I have taken,
All the lessons that I have learned

But I wonder where I'm going now,
What my role is meant to be
I don't know how to travel
To a future that I can't see

I have my suit, I wear this pin
I'm a Cadet, this is true
But it's still unclear to me
If there's more I'm meant to do
I wanna have a purpose
Wanna do all that I can
I wanna make a contribution
I want to be a part of the plan

Celestia walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

(Celestia)
Your destiny's uncertain
And that's sometimes hard to take
But it will become much clearer
With every new choice you make

Then Luna came up to her as well.

(Luna)
Patience is never easy
I understand wanting more
I know how hard it is to wait
To spread out your wings and soar

Then Grand Ruler came up to Sapphire.

(Grand Ruler)
But you stand here for a reason
You're gifted and you are strong
That suit is upon yourself because
You belong

(All Three)
Know that your time is coming soon
As the sun rises, so does the moon
As love finds a place in every heart
You are a Cadet; you'll play your part

(Luna)
We understand you wanting more
A chance to shine, a chance to soar

All three flew into the air and circles Sapphire from above.

(Grand Ruler)
Soon will come the day it turns around

(All)
Know that your time is coming soon
As the sun rises, so does the moon
As love finds a place in every heart
You are a princess; you'll play your part

(Celestia)
You are a princess; you'll play your part

"Your time will come, Sapphire." Celestia stated to her.

"You really think so..?" Sapphire asked.

Their majesties nodded. "Now you go home and get some rest, alright.?" Grand Ruler asked.

Sapphire nodded and she went back home and entered her house. She found Snowflake, Oshawott and Mykan already asleep and she climbed into her bed. "I really hope they're right." she thought to herself and she fell asleep for the night.


Dreamscape..

Sapphire found herself in a large void that was blue with stars all around herself. "Woah... hello..? Anyone here...?" She called out.

"Greetings Sapphire .." She turned around and saw a angel-corn (What ponies become when they die) before her. "Woah... who are you?" Sapphire asked.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle.. and I am here to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Sapphire, there is a great power inside of you that will unlock in the near future." Twilight said.

"A great power..?"

"Yes, this power will bring forth new challenges and responsibilities for you, so you must use it wisely." Twilight advised.

"What is my power?" Sapphire asked.

Twilight chuckled, "It's best if you figure that out on your own. Your friends will help you better understand this new ability. I will be watching over you in the meantime." Sapphire nodded before the void went completely white.

...

...

Sapphire woke up in a shock and breathed heavily, looking around the room. She caught her breath and looked at the moon. "Woah... that was intense... wonder what power I'll have...?" she thought to herself.


The Next Morning..

Mykan and Sapphire woke up and were dressed. "Well, I'm off to New Ponyville Elementary.." Mykan said with Oshawott by his side, "Oshawott Osha.." Sapphire chuckled as Mykan flew off to New Ponyville with Oshawott on his shoulder. Sapphire watched him as he left for New Ponyville just as the alarms sounded! "What the-?" she asked herself. She saw some ponies flying towards the palace gates and she followed them, seeing her friends and new group across from them.

There, they saw a tall woman with tan colored skin. Her long silvery hair was done up in a huge and curly ponytail. She wore a black suit, a silvery skirt, with blood red and black armor, complete with shoulder pads, chest plate arm guards and knee plates. She wore tall black boots, a golden colored cape that ran down to her kneecaps. And across her eyes she wore a shiny golden mask. On her belt she carried a sword in a sheath, and a ray-gun in a holster. Name: Sienna

Another was a tall and rather muscular humanoid creature. He had green skin, short red hair, and was wearing black battle armor over a grey jump suit. Name: Slash

They then saw a little boy, with tan colored skin and dark blue hair dressed in in a dark purple suit with a black cape. Name: Mako and by his side was a red skinned humanoid alien lady with shoulder length brown hair. She was all dressed in a grey monk's robe, holding a crystal ball in her hand. Name: Omnisha.

And they saw some other alien creatures- Raiders as well. "Woah.." Sapphire gasped. She hid out of sight because, as a Cadet, she was not permitted to fight in battles yet and she watched as Grand Ruler stepped forth, "I am Grand Ruler Celesto; Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet and co-ruler of this planet.

My wife: Queen Celestia.

My sister-in-law: Princess Luna."

The alien captain scoffed softly, "Well, don't you sound important."

The majesties looked livid, and the team felt insulted for their majesties. "Why you…!" Rainbow grumbled softly, but Artie held her back.

Slash and Omnisha snickered.

"Who are you?" asked Celestia.

The captain stood tall and proud, "I'm Sienna; Intergalactic Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire.

I work for no one in particular; I'm just out for myself and my crew.

I specialize in rare and valuable items, and for nearly two-hundred years my crew and I have dedicated our lives to pillage the galaxy of its valuables."

"In other words, you're nothing but a band of thieving space pirates." jeered Buddy. Slash threateningly pointed his sword at him, "I'd watch what I say if I were you. We can get very nasty."

Sienna held up her hand, telling him to hush!

"What is it that you want here?" asked Luna.

Sienna sighed irritably, "I just told you, I'm a Treasure Hunter. "Trea-sure… Hunt-er" But anyway, there's something here on this planet that I seek…

…I want The Elements of Chaos."

The three royal ones all stiffened, while the rest of the team all looked confused. "The Elements of Chaos?" asked Fluttershy. "What in the hoot is she talkin' about?" added Applejack.

"It is but a myth." said Celestia "Just as The Elements of Harmony were forged from The Light of Purity, the left over dark energy created their evil counter parts."

"But as was said, it is merely a myth, for no such objects exist." said Luna.

"Wrong…!" snapped Sienna "It is no myth. The Elements of Chaos are real, and they are hidden somewhere here on this planet."

"And just how do you know of this,
And that your mind isn't a miss?" asked Rhymey.

Sienna reached in from under her armor, "…Because I have this."And she held up the pendant of the severed alicorn horn she wore round her neck.

Celestia took one look at that pendant, and gasped! Her eyes widened greatly. "That… it can't be…!"

"Celestia!" cried Grand Ruler. "Sister… what is it?" asked Luna. She didn't know who the horn belonged to, neither did Grand Ruler, but they were still both surprised that Sienna had such a thing.

"What is it?" asked Dyno. "Please tell us." said Myte.

Celestia felt her insides quaking with disbelief, but there was no denying it, "That is a piece of horn of… of…" she paused, "…Queen Galaxia… my mother!"

Luna gasped in shock.

"What?" snapped Grand Ruler, and all the team stood puzzled and shocked out of their minds.

"But… but that is impossible!" cried Luna "I was told Mother had died while I was but an infant!"

Celestia almost felt tears coming to her eyes, for she was only no more than two years old when she last saw her mother over one-thousand years ago, and she remembered her mother's appearance anywhere.

Sienna explained, "I found this a while back while we were raiding another planet, and everyone knows how rare and valuable the horn of a unicorn or alicorn is."

Omnisha then stepped forth waving her hand over her crystal-ball, "I have the ability look into souls, and see into the past present and imminent future, with the help of special items, and this horn fragment confirms the story."

Sinnea then touched the horn piece to the crystal-ball. A ray of light then shone from the ball showing a still image of Queen Galaxia, and what a sight she was to behold.

She looked like a much larger version of Celestia. Her coat was white that faded into soft brown at the edges. Her mane and tail were two-toned- peach at the starting halves, and purple at the ends- which shimmered with glittering sparkles.

The team was just speechless! What a goddess!

"Oh, my…!" Celesto said so softly. This was the very first time he had ever seen any image of his mother-in-law, as well as Luna seeing her mother for the very first time as was too young to remember her face, but Celestia… her tears were falling now, but she didn't cry. Her anger was starting to catch up feeling all this was an insult to her mother, "You are lying…! I don't believe you!"

"But it's true…" sneered Omnisha "See for yourself." and surely enough the images shown Galaxia creating the Elements of Harmony from The Light of Purity- a cosmic force induced through sunlight and combined with the energy the six pure elements…

Magic, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter, Loyalty and Honesty… but just as was promised, the Elements of Chaos were created by accident from the leftover, unused dark energy. Each one representing the exact opposite of the forces of harmony…

Normality, Selfishness, Hatred, Sadness, Treachery, and Deceit…!

There was a great burst from The Elements of Chaos as something dreadful seemed to occur…

…but those were all the images that could be viewed from the horn piece, like only holding one piece of a jigsaw puzzle.

"Galloping Galaxies!" cried Lightning. "It's almost unreal!" said Starla.

Sienna and her team heard that, "Oh, it's as real as real can be." said Slash "With those elements in our possession, we'll become invincible, and no one in the entire universe will stand up to us.

Sienna nodded and she glared at Celestia, "You are Glaxia's eldest daughter. Therefore, I believe you know where the elements are hidden."

"That's right!" snapped Mako "Now hand them over and make it snappy!"

Celestia clenched her fists tightly "I don't know where these elements are hidden, and even if I did I would never hand them over to the likes of you!"

Sienna was starting to lose patience, "You're lying."

"No, Captain… she isn't." said Omnisha. She was using her power to read Celestia's mind, "She really doesn't know where they are. We will get nothing from her."

Sienna growled, her patience had run out.

"Well, I guess that means we go to Plan B after all!" hissed Slash.

"What's Plan-B?" asked Grand Ruler.

Sienna glared at him deeply, "Since you cannot give us The Elements of Chaos, I'll simply have to seek them out myself, even if it means breaking this planet up… bit-by-bit!"

Starla stepped forth, "We've heard enough out of you!" she thundered. The team all agreed, and then Grand Ruler whistled loudly for guards and other fighters to come forth.

Sienna and her team were completely surrounded.

"I give you this one, chance!" sneered Grand Ruler "Surrender, or face the consequences!"

Sienna bent down to her brother, "I want you to go back to the ship. This is going to get dangerous."

"Okay Sis." and Mako and a few of the raiders teleported off and was gone.

This gave away that she was going to get rough, so the friends all agreed, and transformed.

"STARFLEET MAGIC!"

"HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!"

"Dragon Power!"

Celestia and Luna touched the cutiemark symbols on the fronts of their garbs, and changed into their warrior outfits.

"ATTACK!" shouted Grand Ruler and all the fighters rushed forth, but the second they did, Sienna, and her two minions leapt upward.

"Whoa! She's fast!" exclaimed Rainbow.

"Where did she go?" asked Artie, and that's when a swarm of laser blasts fired at them from above. Sparks explosions flew everywhere.

"Up there!" cried Spike, pointed up a tall, tall tree where the three villains stood. Sienna blew onto the tip of her ray-gun, "You don't rob the galaxy of its riches without being a skilled fighter. You should've known that." She the signaled for the Raiders to attack, and her army rushed forth.

The Equestrians and the other Starfleet fighters agreed to take down the raiders, while the space ponies and their majesties attacked Sienna and her crew.

"Let's party!" shouted Pinkie, and she leapt up and over, stomping on the head of the Raiders.

"Coming through!" hollered Rainbow and she flew right through a gaggle of them, knocking them down like a bail of bowling pins

Krysta flew along, and though she was small, being as strong as three-thousand times her own weight, she flew straight at the evil creatures with the strength of a rhino.

SMASH!

BOOT!

POW!

She even managed to outwit several more as they charged at her at once. Due to her small size, she was able to easily avoid them as they all jumped at her and ended up smashing into each other.

"Don't you know a small fairy always wins against a gaggle of big blundering bozos?" she teased.

"These guys aren't nearly so tough." said Spike as he slashed the creatures down with his sword.

The remaining Raiders decided to step up their game, and held out swords and small pirate cannons.

"Uh, oh…!" cried Fluttershy, "I think you spoke too soon!" added Applejack.

The Gun Raiders fired shots from their cannons, forcing the fighters to leap up high into air and flutter, this helped to distract them and the others so that the other fighters below could rush in and attack.

The other Starfleet fighters knocked the swords and guns away from the Raiders, and the fighters with horns blasted the evil creatures with beams of magic, hitting the Raiders hard and vaporizing them into black dust.

"Blast 'em!" shouted Buddy, and, multiple shots from all their horns were fired, but Sienna and Slash repelled and deflected every blast with their swords.

"Now try this…!" shouted Slash and he unleashed a rain of blasts from the tip of his blade.

The Twins held their hands together,"BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS!"and unleashed their rockets to intercept some of the blasts and make big clouds of smoke.

"Where are they?" grumbled Sienna.

Omnisha shut her eyes tightly, placing her hand over her crystal ball, "Get ready to jump…

…NOW!" and the trio jumped away a split second before a whole salvo of magical blasts hit them. The tree was roasted to bits, but the villains were safe.

"I don't believe this,
Every shot was a miss!" growled Rhymey.

Omnisha snickered, "No, duh! I told you, I can see into the imminent future. I can tell every move you'll make before you make it!"

The team all growled in frustration, "Now what do you say we step this up a little." said Slash, "Captain… may I?"

"You may." agreed Sienna.

Slash nodded and pulled off one of those gem-capsules from his belt.

"What is he doing?" wondered Luna.

"Jema-Nite Crusher, I summon you!" Slash declared as he threw the capsule, and unleashed a huge hulking monster, three times the size of the ponies. Its skin was all shiny, almost like real diamonds and gems, but its muscles were huge and pulsating.

"What is that?!" cried Celestia.

"A Jema-Nite!" said Grand Ruler "I've seen these before in my travels through space; they're artificially created creatures, forged from gems and infused with deadly magic to bring them to life. They may not look like much, but they really are strong and tough."

"Isn't that nice; you all got your Jema-Nite lesson for the day." mocked Sienna.

The team felt annoyed with her sneering, and the three royal alicorns tried to blast her again, but just like before, Omnisha predicted this allowing the trio to zip out of the way to safety.

"Where'd they go?" snapped Grand Ruler.

"Never mind that now." said Luna, and she hinted at the monster which was snarling and growling at everyone.

The monster roared and charged at them all. It was surprisingly fast for a big bulky creature. It aimed a strong punch at the ponies, and they all jumped up over it and then Starla sprinted back and kicked it hard in the chest sending it skidding backward a bit.

"LEAF SWARM!"

"DRILL QUILL!"

Buddy and Rhymey unleashed a barrage of razor-leafs and sharp quills at the creature, stunning it softly, but hardly doing much damage.

"We need stronger attacks!" shouted Buddy.

The others all agreed, and they got out their weapons.

"STAR BOW"

"VINE WHIP"

"SUPER STAFF"

"WARD SWORD"

Dyno and Myte didn't have any handheld weapons, and still felt no need for any as their fire powers were good enough.

The ponies all charged forth, but were suddenly intercepted by powerful blasts that hit them from above. It was Sienna and her crewmates, standing up on a rooftop. "Did you forget about us?" Sienna teased.

The ponies growled, but the three royal alicorns fluttered up to where the villains. "But we didn't!" sneered Grand Ruler.

"Ha!" snapped Sienna "You think we're scared of you? Remember, we have the advantage."

Omnisha snickered as she rubbed her Crystal Ball, "I'll be able to determine anything you try."

Grand Ruler looked at the ladies, and they each blinked once at him, and stood their grounds.

"Let's get 'em!" thundered Slash, and he and his comrades leap forth. Sapphire gasped and she suddenly came out of hiding, shocking Slash and his comrades. "What the-?!" Sienna exclaimed.

Sapphire managed to climb up to the roof and confronted Sienna and the others. "Sapphire, what are you doing here?!" Celestia snapped.

"Hahaha, I see you're a newbie, huh?" Sienna teased. "You'll be easy pickings." Slash and his comrades leaped forth but Sapphire slashed the group with her tail.

"Gah!" Slash grunted.

"I see you're not as defenseless as I thought." Sienna snickered. "Guess I'll have to take you on." Sienna then leaped forward towards Sapphire and Sapphire felt a sudden surge inside of her and she suddenly roared loudly and the clouds behind her turned into roaring lions. Everyone froze and stared in awe and shock. The wind from the roar blew Sienna, Slash, Omnisha and the comrades across the roof. Sapphire stopped roaring and just stared at them while a mark in the shape of a lions' head appeared on her cheek. The force of the roar broke Omnisha's crystal ball, "My crystal ball!" she cried.

Sapphire then turned to the Jemm-Nite and roared at it and the force of it, shattered the Jemm-Nite completely. "Holy...!" Rainbow gasped.

The villains saw this, and Slash couldn't believe his eyes. "Not many are able to stand up to our forces." The three villains were cornered, surrounded on the roof by their majesties, Lightning and Sapphire.


While up on Sienna's ship, Mako saw everything on the monitors. "No! Sis!" he cried "Quick! Activate the transport beam!"

The Raiders agreed and quickly dashed for their consoles.


Grand Ruler and the others prepared to capture the villains, declaring "You are under arrest for terrorism, genocide, and murder of a Starfleet officer!"

"Wait..! What?!" Sapphire exclaimed in her head.

Then, just as they all shot their powers, a beam of light shot down from above, encircling the villains and shielding them from the powers. "What?!" snapped Grand Ruler.

"A transport beam!" cried Celestia.

Lightning punched, kicked and zapped at the light, but that light was more like a tube of energy- a force-field- and attacking it was no use. It was almost like trying to punch through a strange alloy.

The villains got up snickering as they were carried off, back up to the ship. "Know this, Starfleet:" thundered Sienna "You've made rather a bad enemy of me today, but I'll be back to strike again and I will not rest until The Elements of Chaos are mine!"

Pinkie could only childishly blow a raspberry at her, but Sienna and her comrades were gone.

Lightning clenched his fists angrily, "I guess we all know what this means." And everyone else agreed; the planet was plunged into another war against a new enemy.


When the villains got back to the ship, Sienna hugged her little brother, "Good thinking, Mako. You saved us all form what could've been a horrible fate."

"Hey, I couldn't bear if I lost you Sienna." said Mako. He really meant it, the way he looked at his sister almost tearfully. "Ever since our parents died… you were… all I had!"

Sienna felt a little sore inside remembering all that as well, and she hugged her brother again tightly.

Slash merely scoffed, "Sorry to break up the mush, Captain, but what are we supposed to do now? These creeps aren't like other forces that stood up to us before."

Omnisha was just as furious over the loss of her crystal ball. "It was a new model too." She grumbled as she polished up an old one she hadn't uses in decades, "This old one will have to do, but it has less power than my other one did. I won't be able to predict imminent events now. All I can do sense if whether or not we're closer to finding The Elements."

Sienna pondered deeply and deduced, "Perhaps it would be nice to have some worthy adversaries to clash with."

Her crew agreed with her. So far, in their many raids and treasure hunts throughout the cosmos, most races they fought or stole from were weak and spineless, and those that did put up fights didn't last very long and always met with defeat shortly after.

"Yes…" hissed Sienna "We've lost today, but we learned from this, and we'll use this to help in the hunt for The Elements of Chaos."

She looked out the windows of the ship and down at the planet, "They're hidden down there somewhere, and I won't rest until I find them!"

She snickered softly and wickedly.


After the fight, the ponies returned to the palace and they all had the same question for Sapphire, "HOW DID YOU ROAR LIKE THAT?!"

"I don't know. It just came out.." Sapphire replied.

"Well what ever it was, it sure is powerful." Applejack said. "It destroyed that Jemm-Nite."

"Yeah. It was amazing." Rainbow said.

Their majesties have never heard anything like this. Celestia examined the lion head mark on Sapphire's cheek. "I think this mark has something to do with your new power, Sapphire." Celestia said.

"We'll have to study this new power carefully." Grand Ruler added. "If it is as powerful as we think, then you must learn to control it." Everyone nodded in agreement.


Later that same evening before sundown, Dyno and Myte had just hauled out a few carts overflowing with newly unearthed jewels and ore from one of their mines…

…When Sienna's forces attacked!

Slash, Omnisha, and their newest Jema-Nite; Raptor: a dinosaur like creature resembling part a T-Rex and with spines like a stegosaurus.

The creature growled, and Slash fingered the tip of his blade, snickering as Dyno and Myte stood to defend their finds.

"You're standing between us and a great haul." hissed Slash, "Now, get out of our way!"

"No way, Jose!" sneered Dyno, "We worked hard to unearth all this for the country!" added Myte.

Slash and Omnisha scoffed, both of them believing the real reason The Twins were protecting the load was because of an Element of Chaos hidden in their findings, but they wouldn't know for sure until Omnisha got close enough to examine them.

Omnisha whispered to Slash, "You deal with these twats, I'll examine the jewels."

Slash agreed, "Okay, Raptor, let's rumble!"

Raptor growled and flailed ferociously.

The Twins nodded at one another, and they transformed, "Starfleet Magic!"

"Attack!" shouted Slash, and his monster stomped forth growling at the twins. The twins leapt up high and kicked the huge beast hard sending it back several paces.

"Nobody is messing with out load!" growled Dyno.

"How cute…" sneered Slash, and he leapt forth attacking the twins mercilessly.

The twins dodged and swerved, and then tried to attack him from different sides, but Slash managed to block and avoid their attacks.

With the twins distracted, Omnisha was free to move towards the carts of treasure.

"Dyno, the jewels!" cried Myte.

"Blast her!" shouted Dyno.

The boys fired magical blasts from their horns- they didn't have to be in contact with each other for their small attacks- but Omnisha swerved, "I don't need to be all-seeing to avoid such pitiful attacks." she taunted, and then she blasted at them with shots form her crystal ball, sending them both skidding along the ground.

The twins got up to their feet to try and charge her, but Slash and Raptor blocked their way. "I'm not through with you two yet." Slash hissed.

The Twins growled angrily, and then joined their hands together…

"BOOM-BOOM FIREBALLS"

Slash only snickered as the fireballs came at him and his monster.

Raptor stepped forth and demonstrated its special ability by opening its huge mouth, and actually absorbing the flames, and then spitting them back out again with double the power, forcing the twins to dodge.

"That was close!" said Dyno.

Myte, agreed, "Maybe we should have scanned this creep first."

Raptor huffed out a trail of smoke from its mouth, and stomped its huge feet ready for more.

The twins and the monster began to duke it out, and while the twins were distracted, Slash moved over to the carts where Omnisha was still looking over the treasures. "Well…?" he asked rather impatiently.

Omnisha looked up in outrage, "Nothing!" she grumbled.

"A'RGH!" growled Slash "All these jewels, beautiful and glittering, but once again… not a single Element of Chaos in sight! What a waste of time!"

"At least we have all this treasure to take back with us!" said Omnisha, "Sienna should find that appealing."

Slash agreed, and then grabbed Raptor's crystal-capsule off his belt, "Raptor, Return!" he called. At once, a beam of light shot out from the capsule, hitting the monster, and magically returning it inside.

"Our load!" cried Dyno.

"Our load you mean." hissed Omnisha, and she tauntingly blew the twins a kiss, before she and Slash vanished along with the carts and the treasures.

"Ay…A'RGH!" groaned Myte, and he angrily pounded the ground, "After all that work we spent to dig those up too."

Dyno comforted his brother,"Tómalo con calma /Take it easy,Myte. We can always dig up more, and besides at least we're safe and not more damage was done."

Myte calmed himself,"Tienes razón/You're the same, we better report to Lightning."


By the time the sun had gone completely down, and the stars were shining, Lightning was in bed and reading the report from the twins, and he sighed softly.

"How bad is it?" Starla asked.

"Well, with all those jewels and ores stolen, it means the clients who ordered them will be set back a few weeks; nothing really that bad, but I still feel bad for the boys… they didn't deserve to have their hard work ruined."

Starla felt just as upset as well and clenched her fists, but Lightning urged her to calm down and to think of the baby. "Come on, let's get some sleep."

His wife smiled and pecked him lovingly as they sniggered down in their bed together.


While on Sienna's ship, even villains knew when it was time for bed, except for Slash and Omnisha whom were both told by Sienna to stand watch on the bridge while she put Mako to bed.

Slash was really annoyed and groaned and complained, "We did all the work, we bring in a huge haul of gems, and what thanks do we get…?"

"For once, I agree with you…" said Omnisha "That little brat's got Sienna wrapped around his little finger."

Meanwhile, Sienna tucked Mako into his bed. Though they were siblings, it almost looked like a mother putting her child to bed.

"Sienna…?"

"Yes, Mako…?"

"Do you think I'll ever make a great Treasure Hunter like you?"

His sister smiled, "I'm sure you will, especially with me to help you, just like I've always been there for you. But who knows… when I get The Elements of Chaos, we may not need to hunt for treasure anymore."

Mako prospered at the thought of so much power, and ruling the universe by his sister's side.

He then let out a huge yawn, and snuggled into his bed.

Sienna tucked him in warmly and pecked his head, and as she left her brother's room and walked back down the hall, she thought to herself,"I promise you, Mako. I'll always be there for you. You're all I have."

She remembered a time, long, long ago, when they were much younger and living in an orphanage on another planet, since their parents died.

Little Mako was sobbing miserably,"I'm so scared, Sienna! Mommy and Daddy are gone! I don't want to live here!"

Sienna hugged her brother tightly, trying to be brave for him,"It'll be okay, Mako. I'm still here with you, and I always will be. We'll get through this together."

Eventually, the two settled into their lives at the orphanage, and spent loads of time together.

One day, in the sandbox…

"Look, Sienna, I made a spaceship."

"Hey, that's pretty neat, Mako. It looks so real."

"Someday…"said Mako"I wanna fly in a real spaceship, and fly through space to see new planets."

"Hey… I like that." said Sienna "I'm sure if we dream hard about it, it'll come true."

Sienna snapped back into reality, but still thinking to herself,"And it HAS come true, but there's still much to be done."


Elsewhere, many ponies were going home and to bed, even the Starfleet units were switching shifts so the night patrols were now on duty.

Even at New Canterlot Palace it was getting to be bedtime for some.

Celestia and Grand Ruler were helping their children get ready for bed. "Here you go," said Grand Ruler, "All comfy and warm now."

Castor and Leilani had both outgrown their cribs and now slept in proper beds, big beds with four-posters, and their beds stood close together with a small nightstand in between. This way they could be close together and not feel separated from one another.

…But, just like most children tended to be, they weren't all that keen about bedtime.

Castor let out a huge yawn as he battled to stay awake, "But we're not sleepy." he whined softly. "Oh, yes you are…" Celestia cooed.

"No… not… sleep…" groaned Leilani. She nearly drifted off, "We're thirsty."

Grand Ruler chuckled, "Yes, Children…" and motioned over as Aunt Luna came over carrying a large tray with a pitcher of cold water and the children's favorite cups to set on the nightstand.

The children had their drinks, and then snuggled down softly.

"Sleep tight." Their father said as he bent over and pecked their little heads, and their mother did the same.

"Goodnight, Father," said Leilani.

"Goodnight, Mother." said Castor.

"Goodnight, my darlings." Celestia whispered.

The adults left the room, turning out the lights so the little nightlights came on.

Luna smiled lovingly, "It is such a beautiful sight to see them sleep softly."

Celestia agreed, but her sadness started to show, "I wonder… if this is how Mother when she had us."

The two sisters remained silent, and Grand Ruler felt really sorry for them. Though he also knew what it felt like to lose your parents, at least he got to know his for a good time, while Celestia and Luna barely knew Queen Galaxia at all.

At least he could be there to comfort his own family.

"Come on…" he said to his wife, "Maybe we should get to be ourselves. We've had a hard day."

Celestia agreed, and Luna prepared to take her night-watch. So they all bid other goodnight and went on their ways.


Meanwhile, Sapphire was sleeping peacefully in bed until...

"Sapphire..."

Sapphire opened her eyes and looked around.

"Sapphire..."

She traced the call to outside and she looked out the window and saw Twilight's Angel corn! Sapphire gasped and quietly crept out of the house and towards her, "Twilight...?"

Twilight smiled, "I see you've use the Roar of Harmony."

"Roar of Harmony..?" Sapphire asked.

"Yes, the Roar of Harmony is a powerful and great gift. It can be used for great good, but it can also be used her terrible evil."

"Well, I'll never use it for evil. Ever."

"I'm glad to here that, but there's one more thing I must show you." Twilight glowed and she and Sapphire were teleported away from New Canterlot and into the New Everfree Forest. Sapphire found herself in a cave that had crystals on the walls and small flowers and at the back of the cave was a large crystalline tree. "Woah... what's this?"

"This is the Tree of Harmony, where Queen Celestia and Princess Luna first discovered the Elements of Harmony which my friends and Queen Celestia possess."

"Cool.. but what does this have to do with me?" Sapphire asked.

Suddenly, the tree glowed and it sent a rainbow stripe to the center and down to a roof where it made a small flower. Sapphire walked up to the flower and touched it. The flower glowed and opened revealed a golden necklace with a rainbow colored heart-shaped gem in the center. "Woah..." the necklace floated in the air and attached itself to her neck.

"... What happened?" Sapphire asked.

"The Tree of Harmony gave you a new Element of Harmony." Twilight said.

"A new Element?" Sapphire asked.

"Yes, this Element will protect you from harm and it will respond to your heart." Sapphire nodded and she stared at her necklace. "I trust you will use it well." Twilight smiled and she glowed brightly and before Sapphire knew it she was standing back in her bedroom! She looked at her Element and rubbed against it. "I promise I'll use this wisely, Twilight... I promise."
