Sapphire finally began to awaken as the tranquilizer wore off. She was knocked out when she got onto the boat. Now she was awake, only discover she was bound to a metallic wall by strong manacles, and she was locked in a cell with force-field at the head of the door. She was in a small cave inside a mountain.

“Where am I?” she asked.

“Welcome, Experiment 205.” someone called to her. Sapphire's heart stopped... she knew that voice.

"Oh no... Lucas!"

Lucas, Leo, David and Brad walked towards her cell. "Hello again." Brad hissed.

"What do you want?" Sapphire growled.

"Hehe, isn't it obvious. We want you as our weapon for the planet." Lucas said. "You would have been our weapon if it wasn't for that annoying Lucy, but luckily we had enough of your information to make another Experiment 205."

"Cara." Sapphire growled. "Where is she?"

"Why do you care about her. She's nothing more than the weapon we want." David said. Cara then came by David's side with a montone look on her face. No emotions at all were showing on her face.

"Cara's more than just a clone. She a living being. She deserves to make up her own mind, not to have it controlled." Sapphire defended. Cara's eye slightly widened at that comment.

Leo laughed, "Oh please all the clones we make are weapons and we'll make more with your help. Those manacles are absorbing all of your powers and magic which we will use to make many more clones of you only more powerful and deadly. Then we'll unleashed them upon Earth and show everyone that clones are superior to normal beings."

Sapphire was horrified. She tried to break free but the manacles were draining her energy, making her weaker.

The four men then turned away, "Cara, watch her." David ordered.

Cara nodded and the four men left. When they were gone, Cara looked at Sapphire and felt something... strange. She remembered the words Sapphire said about her, Cara's more than just a clone. She a living being. She deserves to make up her own mind, not to have it controlled."

Sapphire said she could make up her own mind, like her... but... could she really do that?

What the two didn't notice was a hidden Night Light Dragon who had heard everything and flew out of the cave to gather the others.

Meanwhile, the Starfleet gang had landed in the Africa grasslands. Fluttershy loved seeing all the wild animals roaming around free and happy.

First Celesto had called up a taxi for Luna to take the children to a private penthouse in house.

The children were still asleep in a double stroller. Celesta didn’t dare peck them on their heads which would wake them up, or the children would be upset that she was going into danger, or worse… like all little children, ask to come along!

“Fear not, Sister,” said Luna “I will watch them. They will be just fine.”

“Thank you, Luna.” said Celestia.

He taxi came almost at once, and Luna and the children were ready to leave. Celesto had given Luna a special pass card to use to gain entry into his suite.

“So, what do we do now?” asked Emerald. He was really getting anxious to find Sapphire. Then everyone heard small roars and saw Eclipse flying towards them, "Eclipse, did u find her?" Fluttershy asked.

Eclipse nodded and flew off, "Wait for me!" Emerald said before dashing after the tiny dragon.

"Me too!" and Lucy followed as well as the minions and everyone else.

Meanwhile in the cave, Sapphire was extremely weaken from the magic and power draining from the manacles. Her eyes were turning pale white, a sign of her magic loss. She could barely keep her eyes opened. However, she saw the force field going away and the cell opening to see Cara in front of her. "C-Cara?" she asked weakly before falling unconscious. Cara deactivated the manacles and put Sapphire over her shoulder. She went over to the console which held a small tube with all of Sapphire's magic and powers.

She then walked out of the cell and the cave... only to be met with the Starfleet Gang.

"Hey, get away from her!" Emerald growled.

"Relax." Cara stated. She opened the jar and Sapphire's magic and power floated back into her body and she woke up. "What?... Cara?" Sapphire asked.

"Hi.. Sapphire." Cara greeted.

Sapphire stood up, "Cara, what are you doing?"

Cara scuffed her shoes nervously, "I umm... I wanna try to be free... like you." Sapphire tilted her head to the side, "Please... I wanna try."

Sapphire smiled, "Okay Cara."

"Not so fast!"

Everyone turned and saw the four scientists at the mouth of the cave. "Cara belongs to us! She's not going to be free and rebel against us. She's going to work for us forever!" Luca declared.

"Yeah about that... it's gonna be hard without this." Keto held up and small beeping chip. "What is that?" Rainbow asked.

"It's a mind control chip. I found it Cara's hair. This must have been how they were controlling her." Keto explained. The four men growled in anger.

"Just give this whole thing up!" Celestia exclaimed.

"Why would we do that? When we can do this. Leo now!" David exclaimed. Leo pressed a button and a robotic cobra came out of the bushes and bit Sapphire on the eye. "GAH!"

Everyone gasped. "Sapphire!" Sunset cried. Marla launched her nails at the robot, destroying it easily. The four scientists laughed. Sapphire groaned while holding her closed eye. Celesto and Celestia came to her side, "Easy Sapphire."

"Haha, you idiots will get what's coming to you!" Brad exclaimed. Suddenly, there were sirens and the four of them were surrounded by police cars. "Yeah and that starts now." Lightning smirked.

Soon, the four of them were placed inside the police cars.

"Ugh... my eye.. ow." Sapphire groaned.

"We have to get her medical attention, now." Celestia said, worried about the quick acting cobra venom.

"Then get her to the jet." Marla snapped.

"That might take too long." Starla stated. Suddenly, there was a large roar and large, booming footsteps. "What's that?" Fluttershy asked in fear, holding onto Rhymey. Out of the bushes came another large Zord, though this one looked like a lion. But this one was 30% bigger than Sapphire's Smilodon Zord.

"Woah... An American Lion Zord. Awesome!" Keto exclaimed.

"Less talking, more healing!" Rainbow snapped as she grabbed Sapphire and rushed over to the American Lion Zord which opened it's mouth allowing access. "Come on." Lightning added. They all went inside the Zord and Celestia and Celesto manned the controls. They flew the Zord to Mystic Island were Sapphire was immediately placed in the hospital and given antivenom for the cobra bite.

Soon, she was resting with a gauze over her right eye. "How are you feeling sugarcube?" Applejack asked.

"Ugh.. my eye still hurts." Sapphire groaned.

"Dr. Penny said the antivenom will take affect soon." Celestia informed.

"What about my eye?" Sapphire asked with worry.

"The bite marks are only on your eye lids and not on the eye itself, so it should be fine." Celesto informed. Sapphire nodded with relief. "And don't worry about David and the others will make sure they won't bother you again." Lucy promised.

"What about Cara?" Sapphire questioned.

"She'll be staying with us in our mansion as well until we can help get on her feet again." Celestia stated.

"Okay." Sapphire said. That's when Dr. Penny came into the room. "Alright now, Sapphire needs her rest. You all have to come back tomorrow." she said. The gang left the room to left Sapphire get some rest and heal.
