Prologue: New Ally

New allies come in all shapes sizes and species but sometimes an ally can come from an unexpected source.

On the blissful planet of United Equestria, where all creatures live together and homeworld of Starfleet, the most powerful fighting force in the Dimensional Universe, Lightning Dawn, a white alicorn with a brown mane and tail with a golden horn and Supreme Allied Commander of Starfleet was with his wife, Starla Shine, a white alicorn with a purple mane and tail, like Rarity and an expert of astronomy. The two were with their friends at the Cake's Cafe on a cloudy afternoon.

Major Fluttershy-- a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail with three butterflies as her cutie mark.

Major Rainbow Dash-- a light blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane and tail with a cloud shooting a rainbow-colored lightning bolt from it as her utie mark.

Major Rarity-- fashionista, a similar look at Starla but her mane and tail were curly and Spike's wife.

Major Applejack-- an orange Earth Pony with a blonde mane and tail tied at the ends with a Stetson hat and three red apples as her cutie mark.

Major Pinkie Pie-- New Ponyvilles' party pony and a pink Earth Pony with a puffy, pink mane and tail, like cotton candy. And Finally, Spike aka, the Dragon Knight and Rarity's husband.

Buddy Rose-- a red alicorn and a very fine gardener in his normal life, as well as a great botanist, tree surgeon and ecologist. He lived on New Sweet Apple Acres in his own house and worked as hired help for Applejack and her family. His code: FT5H

Artie Bristles-- an orange alicorn whom outside of the battle field was a fine artist, painter, and sculptor. His Code: HV7J

Rhymey-- A yellow alicorn who spoke in rhyme. When not in battle, he loved writing poetry, singing songs, and managing his café and poetry society "Rhyme Time", but most of all he enjoyed spending quality time with his mare-friend, Fluttershy. His number even rhymed with the end of his name-- XL7Z

And the Spanish twins: Dyno and Myte LA Guava: Expert mining engineers, explosive experts, geologists, and construction workers from the planet El Mundo, who had a fine knowledge of explosives and work tools. Codes: IW8K and JX9L.

They were all hanging out in the cafe along with Mykan Stevens, a 19 year old, peach-colored human with short, brown hair. He was an axillary member of Starfleet, allowed to enter fights, but only if it was necessary.

"Hey Lightning, Hey Starla." Rainbow greeted.

"Hi Rainbow." Starla greeted back.

"So anything come up yet?" Pinkie asked.

Lightning sighed and shook his head, "No there's been no sightings of this mysterious figure and creature so far. All we know is that they were last scene heading this way."

"Oooh." Fluttershy shivered. "I hope they're not dangerous."

"We don't know if they are or not. All we can do is wait for them to show up." Starla stated. The others agreed. Suddenly, the alarms went off and at the same time, Lightning's longtime friend, Krysta showed up via warp portal. "Lightning! Lightning!" she screamed.

"Krysta, what's wrong?"

"It's the palace it's being attacked!" Everybody gasped in horror. "Take us there, now!" he snapped.

Krysta made another warp portal and the unit dashed through and were in New Canterlot. The shields were up around the buildings and there were no civilians on the streets. Hearing loud roars from above, the team looked up at the palace. "Galloping Galxies!" Buddy cried.

There were three creatures attacking the palace. They were all 7.6 feet tall and 95 feet long. Covered in spikes head to tail, resembling a giant gulper eel with bulging eyes, spiny face and six rows of rotating teeth in their mouths. No legs and only spikes decorating their undersides.

The team have never seen anything like them. "What are those things?!" Spike asked.

"Whatever they are, they're attacking the palace. Let's go!" Lightning snapped. The team flew up to the creatures and transformed.

"STARFLEET MAGIC!"

"HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!'

"DRAGON POWER!"

The Space Ponies scanned the creatures with their visors, but the results turned out “Creature: Unknown. No Available Data.”

“What, No data?” snapped Lightning. Two of them heard and spotted them and breathed out rings of fire from their mouths. "Watch it!" Applejack cried. The team dodged the attack and the Space Ponies attacked;

"STAR SHOWER!"

"PAINT BOMB!"

"DRILL QUILL!"

"BOOM-BOOM-ROCKETS!"

"LEAF SWARM!"

All the attacks combined seemed impressive but when they struck the creatures, they didn't seem fazed at all. "No even a scratch!" Mykan said. The creatures roared and flew away from the palace and burrowed into the mountain. "They can burrow?!" Pinkie cried.

"Apparently so." Rarity said. Then, they all heard a rumbling and the three creatures burst from the mountain once more and roared at them. "Alright time for he big guns." Lightning said and he fired his "UNIFORCE!"

KAPOW!! What an explosion. Everyone watched in such anticipation, but to their horror… the creatures were still flying in the air. "None of our attacks are doing anything to it!" Artie cried.

"We haven't tried everything." a voice said. The team looked behind them and saw two royal alicorns. The female wore a light golden gown with a white top showing her cutie mark of the sun.

The male was a tall, white male alicorn with a short dark mane with images of space flowing like a picture. He wore jewel-encrusted golden armor with doublets on each side into it, a red cape with gold markings fluttering on his back, even though there was no breeze. He had golden pegasus wings, black boots with golden edges round the feet. Atop his head were three golden horns, all shimmering like the stars.

They were Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler Celestio, the rulers of United Equestria and Co-Commander and Commander of Starfleet.

"Queen Celestia, Grand Ruler!" Lightning said.

"Girls, you know what to do." Celestia said to the girls. They nodded and called out their command, “VALKYRIA!!” and transformed into their Valkyries of Harmony.

"All together girls!" Celestia said. And together they unleashed, "HARMONY BEAM!" the large beam headed straight for the creatures, but they breathed rings of fire together at the blast an actually countered it, causing it to explode. The team was horrified. "Impossible! There seems to be no weakness with these creatures!" Grand Ruler cried.

The creatures roared and shot their spikes at the ponies. "Lookout!" Celesia cried. The ponies did their best to dodge but some of the spikes struck Lightning, his friends and the girls' energizers, powering their super suits down. "Uh-oh." Rainbow said. "Not good."

The three creatures roared and flew straight for the defenseless ponies. "We're goners!" Pinkie cried.

Suddenly...

"Plasma Blast!"

Three purple, spherical blasts hit the creatures and they stopped and looked in the air as well as the ponies. Swooping down towards the gang was a humanoid figure wearing a clock that covered his face and most of it's body. You could only see the hands and sneakers of the figure. The figure looked at have some sort of sword and shield on the back

She was riding a sleek creature that was 24 feet long with with lighter coloring and glimmering textures that include white, cream, and pink. It possessed a long, single spine running down the center of their back and light blue eyes. Also it had two pairs of ear-like appendages on the top of their heads and a pink-colored nose. The wingspan is about 42 feet long with no sharp tips at their ends. They are glittery white in coloration and have strips of glittery light pink running down their wings.

The tail flukes are triangular in shape, white in color, having two smaller triangular flukes just above the main ones.

"Is that the-?" Dyno started.

"Mysterious figure and creature!" Myte finished.

"Alright, girl. Let's get these pests out of here." The figure said in a feminine voice. The creature roared and blasted the creatures with her plasma blasts. The creatures roared and lunged at her. "Try this on for size." the figure said as it pulled out the metal shield, which started reflecting some light right into the creatures' eyes. The roared in dislike and flew away from the two. "Let's go girl." The creature obeyed and followed the three creatures and it's rider shinnied the light at the creatures. They chased them out of New Canterlot and the creatures flew far, far away.

"Good job, girl." The figure praised.

The creature smiled and flew back to Lightning and the others. They all landed at the front of the royal palace. "Who are you? And why did you help us?" Lightning interrogated.

Lightning approached the figure but her creature roared at him. "Easy girl, it's alright." the figure cooed. The creature listened but still growled at Lightning.

"I'm not gonna ask you again; Who are you?" Lightning asked again.

The figure untied it's cloak and let it fall to the floor. The entire gang gasped in awe at what they saw.

The figure turned about to be.... a human girl!

She was the same age as Mykan. She had long blonde hair and jean jacket with jeans and black sneakers. She looked to be in fairly good condition, except the dirt and scratches on her face. But what really shocked everyone was the fact that she had a pair of peach-colored wings and horn!

".... What's up?" she asked.

A moment of silence passed until...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6gmUEioVWs

"What just happened?" Pinkie asked.

The girl and her creature were brought in to the palace throne room. "So who are you?" Buddy asked.

“I’m Sapphire Sunlight and this is my best friend, Snowflake." Snowflake warbled at the ponies.

“What is Snowflake? She doesn’t look like any dragon, we’ve ever seen.” Celestia said.

"Snowflake is a Light Fury Dragon. Part of the Strike Class. She very fast and and extremely intelligent." Sapphire replied.

“So what were those things?" Spike asked.
"They were Whispering Death Dragons." Sapphire replied.

"Whispering Deaths?" Celesto asked.

"Very dangerous dragons that love to burrow underground." Sapphire added.

"If they are so dangerous, then how did you get rid of them?" Rainbow questioned.

"By knowing the dragons' only weakness; Sunlight." Sapphire replied. "They absolutely hate it, which is why they are underground most of the time."

"Alright." Lightning said. "Speaking of dragons. What is Snowflake?" Artie asked.

"Okay. With that out of the way, what are you two doing here anyway?" Starla added.

"Hiding." Sapphire replied.

"Hiding from what?" Applejack asked.

"My creators."

"CREATORS?!" The friends exclaimed. Sapphire nodded. "You see the ponies whom created me want to use me as a weapon for ponykind."

"A weapon?" Artie whispered. Hearing that made the friends very angry. Making a living creature whose purpose was only to kill. "But I didn't want to be used as weapon for anything. So one day I escaped from the ponies. Met Snowflake and we made our way here, eventually."

"So what should we do with them?" Lightning asked, turning towards their majesties.

"Well, since they do not appear to be a threat to us, I guess we can let them stay." Celestia said. Her husband agreed. "Sapphire, you and Snowflake will be staying with Mykan."

"Okay."

"I'll be housing a dragon?... Cool!" Mykan thought to himself.

Soon it was dusk and Sapphire and Snowflake entered Mykan's house. "You can sleep in my bedroom, Sapphire." he offered.

"Thank you." Snowflake still looked suspicious of Mykan. "It's alright, Snowflake. He a friend." Sapphire reassured. The Light Fury heed her riders' words and calmed down.

"Now come on girl, let's get some rest." Sapphire said. The Light Fury followed her upstairs into Mykan's bedroom and she crawled into bed. Snowflake layed on the left side of the bed and fell asleep as well as her rider.

Episode 1: New Cadet Made

The sunshine came through Sapphire’s window on a bright beautiful morning but she wasn’t in the mood to wake up. “Five more minutes.” However, Snowflake was wide awake and she wanted her rider up and ready too. So she did what any dragon would do to wake up their sleepy rider... lick their face until he/she wakes up.

And It worked.

“Hehehe. Snowflake, stop, Hehehe.” Sapphire laughed but the Light Fury refused to stop until she was up and about. “Okay, Okay, I’m up. Happy?”

Snowflake nuzzled her rider, "I'll take that as a yes." Sapphire got up and went to the bathroom but when she turned on the light “What the-? MYKAN!”

Mykan immediately rushed into the bathroom. “What’s wrong Sa-“ Mykan gasped when he saw what she was talking about “I’ll go get Lightning and the others.”

Soon the whole team was at Mykan's examining Sapphire, “I just don’t understand it. How could Sapphire possibly get a energizer like us?” Lightning said. The energizer aka transforming badge was the marking of a Unicorn and a single wing. This meant she could now don on a super suit for battle and go into Battle-Mode.

The armor itself composed of a highly density polymerized alloy and infused with stardust and cosmic energies; making it hundreds of times stronger than diamond. Nothing could harm it under fifty-thousand degrees and would take a lot of power and strength just to dent it. It was also magically enchanted; it would amplify the wearer’s natural abilities, magic, and weapons, making them stronger and swifter than they were before.

The visors, now they were most important piece of equipment. Each visor had a set of various incredible functions.

-Heat sensory
-X-Ray
-Infrared vision
-Sound Scan
-Radar
-Telescopic magnification
-Medical scan
-Power scouting
-Database retrieval

Also, all Starfleet suits as well their fighters fought under a specific elemental or attributed force.

“But how did she get one in the first place?” Starla questioned.

“Thats the real mystery.” Buddy commented.

They saw Lightning writing something a piece of paper. “Lightning, What’s that?” Artie asked.

“A letter. Maybe their majesties know what’s going on.” He handed the letter to Spike. “Spike.” He nodded and sent the letter.

Just then, in a bright flash, their majesties appeared. “We got your letter Lightning.” Grand Ruler stated. “May we see Sapphire?”

Sapphire came before the royal couple and they both examined her insignia “Indeed this is no hoax. That’s a true Starfleet energizer.” Celestia confirmed. “But how she acquired this is beyond any of our knowledge.” Luna added.

Suddenly, a bright tube of light came in behind everybody. “What’s that?” Sapphire asked. Before anybody could answer and angel-corn (what ponies become when they die) appeared and everybody recognized the pony. “Twilight?!”

“Good morning everybody.” she greeted. “I see you all found my gift to Sapphire.”

“Your gift!” Rainbow exclaimed.

“You mean it was you who gave her the energizer.” Applejack added. Twilight nodded and everybody was both amazed and confused. “Why would you give her an energizer?” Fluttershy asked.

"This is part of her test." Twilight replied.

"A test?" Lightning asked.

"A test for what?" Grand Ruler added. Before Twilight could reply, ponies screams were heard from outside. “What’s that?” Celesto asked. Everybody went outside and saw to their horror; ponies were stuck in amber cocoons unable to move. Not only that, the amber was all over the place; on the houses and the streets. “What in the name of the galaxy happened here?” Buddy asked. The answer came when five new dragons landed before the group.

They were all 75 feet long and had a wingspan of 85 feet. They all had a long, slender body. Its body is very thin The dragons have striking and bright colors of blue, yellow, and orange on both its wings and its tail. They had spikes that run along their backs.

(Like this)

“What the heck are those things?!” Rainbow cried.

“Their Death Song Dragons!” Sapphire replied.

“Well let’s get them out of here!” Lightning snapped. The team nodded and they were about to transform when “Lookout!” Sapphire and Snowflake dove out of the way when the dragons released and amber-like liquid at the ponies and Mykan, trapping them all and it hardened quickly. “I.. Ugh.. can’t move!” Applejack cried.

Everybody tried to break free but it was in vain. “What is this stuff?” Mykan asked.

"It's their quick hardening amber. Almost impossible to break out of!" Sapphire called from her hiding place.

“It’s hard as a rock.” Dyno said.

“Si, really strong.” Myte added. Their majesties tried blasting the substance with their magic but it didn’t leave a mark. “Our magic does not work with this substance.” Celesto said.

“I think that’s the least of our problems.” Lightning said. Two of the Death Songs grabbed the team and their majesties in its mouth and, to Sapphire’s horror, flew off with them. “Sapphire, help!” Everybody cried. The other three Death songs grabbed the trapped citizens and flew off with them as well.

“Guys!” Sapphire could only watch as the Death Songs carried her friends and the civilians far away. “Oooh, How am I gonna save them?” she asked herself.

Twilight’s spirit appeared beside her. “By using your new energizer, that’s how.”

“But I’ve never used it before. I can’t battle four of those dragons by myself! Even with Snowflake, I'm outnumbered. I have an energizer I barely know how to use. I... wasn’t prepared for this.”

Music began playing in the background as Sapphire sang about her doubts.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SBRenzjdKwU

The song ended and Twilight came up to Sapphire. “I know you have your doubts, Sapphire. But I know you can save them.”

“How?”

“Because you’re smart, brave and loyal. You know a lot about the dragons than your friends do. Use that knowledge to save them.” Sapphire thought about what she said.

“Use you’re knowledge well to save your friends. I must go now. Remember what I said.” Twilight floated into the air and vanished.

Sapphire just stood their for a moment until Snowflake nuzzled her for comfort. "I know girl, I'm worried about them too. But we don't know where those Death Songs took them to.”

Meanwhile in a cave in the New Everfree Forest, the Death Songs had placed all the captured ponies in one corner of the cave. Lightning and the others tried once again to break free from the amber. "Ugh... it's no use. This amber is too strong." Lightning sighed.

"Wh-What are they gonna do to us?" Fluttershy whimpered.

"I don't know, but we need to get out of here." Buddy said.

"Ummm, hello. We're trapped in here and there's no one else that can save us." Rainbow grumbled.

"Sapphire can." Starla said. "She dealt with those other dragons like it was nothing."

"But that doesn't mean she'll get rid of these things that easy." Rainbow replied.

"We just have to hope she can." Grand Ruler said.

Back in the village, Sapphire was pacing around trying to figure out how she could discover the Death Songs cave. “Maybe I can.. No, no,no.” She sighed sadly and Snowflake warbled, “Sorry girl, I’m just.. Stuck. I can’t find a way to find the Death Songs.”

Just then, Sapphire’s chest glowed brightly. “Huh? What the-?” She and Snowflake were suddenly teleported into a cave with crystal diamonds on the side and they saw a crystallized tree with the center of it being a star, like Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark and Queen Celestia and Princess Luna's cutie marks on the trunk as well.

“Woah.” she gasped in awe. “What is this?”

“This is the Tree of Harmony.” a voice replied. Sapphire and Snowflake turned around and saw a angel-corn (what ponies become when they die) “W-Who are you?” Sapphire asked.

“Hello Sapphire.My name is Twilight Sparkle. I see you've made some new friends."

“Yes and they’re in danger. I need to find the Death Songs cave before they harm them.” Sapphire said. “Also, what is this?”

“The Tree of Harmony is a powerful and magical tree that control all that grows in the New Everfree Forest and it is where Queen Celestia and Princess Luna first discovered the Elements of Harmony.”

Sapphire walked towards the tree and as she got closer the more the tree and her chest glowed. Finally, she stood a few feet from the tree and touched the base. In a instant the tree glowed brightly and released six multi-colored beams at Sapphire’s chest.

The light on her chest began to morph into what looked at be necklace with a gemstone in the middle.

With a final flash, the glow diminished and Sapphire felt a bit woozy. “Woah, that was intense.” She looked down at her chest and was shocked “What the-?” On her chest was a golden necklace with a silver heart crystal in the center. “Wha-What happened?” she asked. Twilight's spirit came up to her. “The Tree of Harmony gave you a hidden element of harmony.”

“Hidden?”

“Yes. Use your element wisely, Sapphire. I sense great magic inside of you. I must go now.” Twilight angle-corn then disappeared. “Hey wait, how am I suppose to find my friends?” she called aloud. The crystal in her necklace glowed and made a magical trail leading out of the cave and through New Everfree Forest.

Snowflake followed the trail. “Snowflake, wait!” and Sapphire followed her. The trail lead the two to a large cave deep in New Everfree Forest. Snowflake and Sapphire stopped and looked at each other. “This might be the place.” Sapphire slowly walked in followed by her trusty Light Fury. Sapphire lit her horn, lighting up the cave. Sapphire and the dragons saw some bones on the floor. "...Dragon bones." she whispered. Snowflake growled softly. Further walking through the cave, the three came to a large chamber. Scanning the chamber, Sapphire saw the civilians and her friends in the far corner. The Death Songs were thankfully asleep, but were in the middle of the chamber! “Oh boy, how am I gonna get the dragons away from them and free the ponies?" Sapphire asked herself. "I know that the Death Songs Amber is weak to Monstrous Nightmare fire but I don’t have that kind of fire.”

Snowflake pointed to her necklace. “The Element? Well…. I guess it couldn’t hurt.” Sapphire said. “But how are we gonna get them away from Mykan and the others?”

The Light Fury roared loudly into the cave, catching prisoners attention and waking the Death Songs. “What was that?!” Lightning cried. The Death Songs flew into the tunnel to investigate. The trio hid inside a tunnel and when the Death Songs were gone, Sapphire and Snowflake rushed into the cave and right for the others. “Sapphire, Snowflake, what are you doing here? Where’d you get that from?” Lightning asked, noticing her element. “Questions later.” Sapphire said.

She closed her eyes and her element glowed brightly and blasted the amber, breaking it and freeing everyone. “Alright, we’re free!” Rainbow cried.

Sapphire opened her eyes and her element stopped glowing. “Thanks Sapphire.” Lightning stated.

“Come on!” Lightning snapped. “Let’s get out of here!”

Everyone rushed towards the tunnel, but before they could all escape the five Death songs returned and surrounded the ponies. They were all growling at the ponies. Snowflake and roared back at them. The first Death Song was blocking the exit! “Oh great, what now?” Rainbow whimpered. Snowflake roared at Sapphire and nodded towards the Death Songs. “Let’s do it, girl!”

“Do what?” Applejack asked as Sapphire mounted the Snowflake. “You guys get the ponies to safety, I’ll take care of the Death Songs.”

“You mean.” Lightning started. Sapphire nodded. “I’m gonna battle them.” All the ponies gasped in horror. “You can’t be serious! Those ghastly things are too dangerous!” Rarity cried.

“I have no choice. I’ll be fine. Get the civilians to safety.” Sapphire said. Snowflake roared and she along with Skystorm took to the sky. The Death Songs released the amber from their mouths but the dragons dodged it and flew in between them. The Death Songs roared in anger and flew after them. “Alright, let’s go!” Celesto snapped.

Everybody ran out of the cavern and through the forest until they were all safety back in New Ponyville. “Phew... that was a close one.” Dyno said.

“Si, too close.” Myte added.

“I just hope Sapphire’s alright.” Fluttershy added. Everybody hoped for that as well.

Meanwhile, Snowflake was diving in and out of the trees trying to lose the four Death Songs. “These guys won’t give up!” Sapphire cried in fear. Snowflake dodged the Death Songs attempts to trap them in the amber. “Good dodging.” Snowflake shot bursts of spherical purple-colored flames at the Death Songs, however they dodged every single one. “Not good.”

Two Death Songs blasted amber again and this time it made direct contact, trapping Sapphire and Snowflake. The two fell from the sky. “HANG ON!”

CRASH!

The two crashed into the ground and slid for about three feet. “Ugh...Snowflake, you alright?” Snowflake warbled. “Good.” That’s when the five Death Songs landed near the downed trio. “Uh-oh.” Sapphire whimpered. Snowflake softly roared in fear as well. The Death Songs approached the three, ready to eat them.

At New Ponyville, Lightning, his team and their majesties were looking for any sign of Sapphire and Snowflake “Where are they?” Pinkie asked. “They should have appeared by now.”

"Let me go see." Rainbow flew into the sky and flew over New Everfree Forest. From the air she could see Sapphire and the dragons trapped in the amber, surrounded by the Death Songs. She gasped and zipped back to the others. "Guys!"

"What is it, Rainbow?" Applejack asked.

"Sapphire and Snowflake are trapped and the Death Songs are about to eat them!"

“WHAT!” Everybody snapped.

"Ay' Curumba!" the twins cried.

“Let’s go!” Lightning added. The gang flew off and got to the forest and came to the scene. “There they are!” Mykan called, pointing towards the clearing. They all saw the Death Songs surrounding Sapphire and Snowflake. "Let's move!"

The Death Songs licked their teeth, looking forward to their meal. Sapphire gulped nervously at the sound of their stomachs growling. “Gulp... guys where are you?” Sapphire whispered. The Death Songs opened their mouths and Sapphire closed her eyes.. ”UNIFORCE!” out of nowhere, a golden blast of magic hit one of the Death Songs. Sapphire opened her eyes, “Lightning!”

The team flew down blasting the dragons with their attacks.

”DRILL QUILL!”

“PAINT BOMB!”

“STAR SHOWER!”

The blast made the dragon and back off. Dyno and Myte landed near the trapped duo. “Hang on chicas.” Dyno said.

“We’ll get you out.” Myte added. Together they unleashed their ”BOOM-BOOM FLARE!” and freed the two. They shook for the amber. “Thanks boys.” Sapphire mounted Snowflake and they flew into the air. The team and their majesties blasted the Death Songs driving the five dragons far away. Next, they went to check on Sapphire and Snowflake. “Sapphire, are you okay?” Mykan asked. “Any injuries?”

“Yeah, we’re good.”

“Come on let’s go home.” Celestia added. “You and your dragon need a check up after that, Sapphire.”

“Yes your majesty.”

The gang took Sapphire and Snowflake to the royal sickbay for an evaluations. They all checked out okay. After that, they were all called to the throne room. When they entered they saw the room crowded with ponies and other creatures from dragons to griffins and minatours. Lightning and their majesties were in standing in front of Celesto and Celestias’ respective thrones. That caught them all by surprise. “So what’s this about?” Sapphire asked.

"Sapphire Sunlight, Snowflake, please step forward.” Celesto ordered. The three walked up to their majesties. Celestia began to speak. “We are gathered here today, to honor the heroism of Sapphire Shimmer and her dragons for single handedly rescuing us twice from dangerous situations.”

Luna then spoke “By performing such a brave and noble deeds we are extremely proud and honored to present them both with the United Equestrian Pink Hearts of Courage.”

The crowd cheered loudly as Grand Ruler levitated the medal over Sapphire and Snowflake necks. Sapphire smiled.

“We have another reason for gathering here today.” Grand Ruler added. The crowd was confused as well as Lightning and all his friends, who were at the front of the crowd. “Sapphire, due to your incredible act of bravery and your willingness to never give up when your friends were in great peril you have proven to me and everybody else what kind of person you are; strong, brave and truly magical.

Which is why as Commander of Starfleet, I hereby dub Sapphire Shimmer, the newest member of Lightning's Starfleet unit as a Cadet!”

The crowd burst into extreme joy and glee. Pinkie and Rainbow were jumping up and down with joy while the others just cheered. Sapphire gave a cheeky smile. Snowflake nuzzled their rider.

Now she was the newest member of the Starfleet.

When the ceremony was over, she was approached by his friends. “Alright Sapphire!” Rainbow exclaimed. “You’re a Cadet now!”

“Way’d a go!” Mykan added.

“We’re so proud of you, darling.” Rarity added.

Lightning approached Sapphire. “Welcome to the team, Sapphire.” He saluted to Sapphire and she saluted back. That’s when the girls and Spike began singing.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FAjN_kz095I

Sapphire just couldn’t stop smiling. Their majesties stared proudly at the unit.

Allies can be in the shape of ponies, humans and even dragons. And sometimes that ally can become a hero in the making

Episode 2: Training and New Enemy

A day had passed since Sapphire became a Cadet. She was placed in Lightning’s Unit and today was her first day of training. Lightning and Grand Ruler ordered her gather round, and things already got off on a bit of the wrong foot. “Cadet Sapphire...” Lightning said “You are both improperly dressed.” Sapphire was asked to remove necklace. She pulled it off, but it glowed and reattached itself to her. “Huh?” she removed it again and reattached itself to her. Lightning and Grand Ruler were confused.

“Let me try.” Lightning pulled the element necklace off but it glowed and reattached itself to Sapphire’s neck again! “Looks like I have to train with this on.” Sapphire claimed. Lightning and Grand Ruler looked at each other. “Guess we have to.” Lightning said. Grand Ruler nodded then he welcomed them to their first day of training and he assured them this would be no easy feat. “As I am aware you are very skilled in the arts you perform, however, I feel that compared to Starfleet you are just not powerful enough. As you saw in the previous war, your skills as they currently are were into fit enough to combat the newer, more powerful enemies we have faced. I believe that you can all pass our tests, that you can become stronger and swifter than anything you ever images, and it’s because I believe in you.

...But... do YOU believe that you can do it? Well, that’s what we’re about to find out.”

Lightning then spoke to her, “Now girls, as you know, you won’t become as strong as us original space alicorns, but you can become stronger than what you’ve ever been. Before we get into any serious training, we’ll need to test your current skills. How strong you are, how fast are.”

Sapphire nodded and they started her off at the five hundred yard dash. She started running as fast as she could and suddenly her eyes glowed and suddenly rushed across the finish line at the speed of light. “Time, Lightning?” Grand Ruler asked.

“Four point three seconds.” Lightning replied.

Sapphire, rubbing her head, looked surprised at the results. “You okay there?” Applejack asked.

“Yeah, just a small headache after that surge I felt.” Sapphire said.

“Surge?” Grand Ruler asked.

“Yeah, I was running and I suddenly felt a surge and before I knew it, I was across the finish line.”

The ponies thought that was odd but they continued with her training. Next was a test of flight. “Behold, the Hurl-a-Whirl.”

It was a machine similar to the wonderbolts Dizzitron, but instead being strapped into a disc, ponies were strapped in a large bubble like cell, and instead of being twirled in mere furious circular motions, the ride was designed to hurl, whirl, and twirl the flyer in all possible directions. "And if you scream..." Lightning teased "...It's just going to go faster and harder." The ride would launch them out, and then they were forced to recover fast and race back through an obstacle course. Touching a single obstacle or failing to complete the course in less than five seconds were marked as failure.

The girls were a bit hesitant with this. “Lightning are you sure her wings are ready? We don’t know how long she’s flown with them.” Fluttershy said.

“I understand your concerns girls, but remember this is just a training exercise. It will help her and help us see if she’s had enough experience with her wings. Don’t worry.” Grand Ruler said. Sapphire was strapped in and the devive started spinning her up, down and all around. It suddenly launched her out and it everyone’s surprised she righted herself and flew straight for the obstacle course. She skillfully flew through the course, not touching anything and she flew across the finish line.

“Three point two seconds!” Lightning exclaimed.

“Alright Sapphire.” Rainbow called. Sapphire landed in front of everyone and they all gasped. She flew through the whole course with her eyes closed!

“You had your eyes closed the whole time?!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“Yeah, when I was spinning around I felt another surge and when I was launched out I instantly closed my eyes and flew through the course.” Sapphire explained. Now, the others could see this couldn’t be a coincidence.

After that, was dancing.

“Dancing can do wonders for the battle.” Lightning said “It helps you improve your evasiveness. Remember: even the most powerful attack or weapon cannot harm you... IF... it doesn't hit you."

He demonstrated by going through one of the hard courses, which he had gone through many times. It was a simple spread divided into four parts. The objective was to hop along a series of tall small pillars overlooking a deep fall, while at the same time small, harmless darts, cannon balls, and spiked logs would come at him to try to trip him up.

He stood ready, and then began to skip, hop, side-step, and twirl gracefully through the course and didn’t get a hit a single time, impressing Sapphire.

He even gave her a little challenge.

She would all be armed with special paint guns and would try to shoot Lightning and three others as they danced along a simple flat runway.

Sapphire, amazingly watched closely and when one of the dancers landed, she fired and made contact! Even Lightning got hit! “Nice, Sapphire.” Lightning said. Sapphire smiled.

Weeks had passed and Sapphire was gradually getting better at her training. Lightning and the others were proud of her.

Then one day, Sienna, a tall woman with tan colored skin appeared in front of the gates to New Canterlot Palace. 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.

By her side 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. He was threatening a family with a powerful sword. Name: Slash

Also, 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 another lady. She was a red skinned humanoid alien with shoulder length brown hair. She was all dressed in a grey monk’s robe, holding a crystal ball in her hand. Name: Omnisha

A swarm of black creatures wearing golden vests and wearing silvery masks over their seemingly faceless faces called Raiders.

Sapphire was in the palace, watching from the window while the others were down there, confronting the gang. 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 leftover dark energy created their evil counterparts.”

“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.

Sienna’s 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. Sapphire saw everything. “Snowflake, go help them!” she called. The Light Fury roared and flew out the window. She blasted the monster with her plasma blasts. “Snowflake?!” Starla cried. The Monster roared at Snowflake and tried to punch her, but Snowflake dodged and fire her plasma blasts again.

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 saw them and felt the same surge inside of her. In the blink of an eye she flew out the window and punched them back. “What?! Where did you come from?!” Sienna exclaimed.

“Sapphire, get back inside!” Celesta commanded. Sapphire growled at the villains. “Fine girly, try your best.” Onmisha challenged. “I can predict any move you try to do.” Sapphire growled and lunged at Sienna. “Sapphire, don’t!”

Sienna moved to the left to dodge but at the last second, Sapphire punched in the back making her grunt a little. “Grr… you little pest!” Sienna exclaimed. Sapphire growled and suddenly her whole body glowed brightly, catching the ponies attention below.

“What’s going on with Sapphire?” Pinkie asked.

When the glow ended, it revealed that Sapphire had shapeshifted into a Light Fury! She roared loudly and flew over to the monster. She formed a large ball of energy and blasted the Jem-Nite, completely destroying it. “Ay Carumba!” the Twins cried. “She destroyed it in one blast!”

Sapphire then turned back to the roof and snarled. She flew up there in the burst of speed and slammed into Onmish, knocking the crystal ball out of her hands. “My crystal ball!” she cried. Sapphire blasted the crystal ball, much to her horror. “NO!”

The three villains were cornered, surrounded on the roof by their majesties, Sapphire and Lightning.

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!”

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. Sapphire slashed at the light but nothing worked as well.

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.”

Sapphire changed back into her normal self but she fell unconscious on the roof.

Episode 3: Info on the New Power

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 terrible 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 especially that hybrid.”

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. With Sienna and her crew out there, the laws of war were quickly instated, but despite this, life would continue. There was no sense in keep everyone under house arrest for an indeterminate amount of time; they’d go crazy with cabin fever.

Meanwhile, back on United Equestria, Sapphire was placed in a hospital bed in the royal palace while her friends watched the replay of her entrance in the battle. They watched her transform and destroy both the Jem-Nite and the crystal ball in one shot each. “This is unbelievable!” Lightning said. “Whatever her creators did, they definitely made her powerful.”

“Indeed. Whatever kind of magic and power those ponies placed in her is unique.” Celestia added. The images ended with Sapphire falling unconscious after changing back into herself. “It looks like she can’t control it at will through. Like it automatically happens.” Artie pointed out. “Like it did when she was training.”

“Yes, we will have to gain more information from Sapphire when she awakens.” Grand Ruler said and that’s when one of the doctors came in, “You majesties, Sapphire’s awake.”

Their majesties nodded and Lightning and the others followed them to the medical bay and into Sapphire’s room. Sapphire was sitting up in bed, rubbing her head a little. “Hey sugarcube.” Applejack gently greeted. “How are you feeling?”

“Ugh… just a small headache. What happened?” Sapphire asked.

“You jumped into the battle, transformed into a Light Fury and destroyed a Jem-Nite and Omnisha’s crystal ball all in one!” Pinkie exclaimed.

Sapphire was shocked by this news. “I-I did?”

“Yes.” Grand Ruler stated. “Sapphire, do have any idea what kind of magic your creators gave you?”

Sapphire thought for a moment. “... Umm.. I know it got Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasi and Alicorn Magic all combined, but I don’t think I got any other magic. At least I don’t think.”

“Well, you don’t have very good control of your powers.” Buddy pointed out.

“Well, I don’t control when they activate. It just.. Happens.” Sapphire replied.

“Then you need to learn how to control your abilities.” Applejack said.

Sapphire sighed. The gang knew it was going to be a process to help Sapphire control her powers. Suddenly, the door burst open, “Your majesties!” Captain Shania, Captain of the Royal Guard, exclaimed.

“Captain what is it?” Celestia asked.

“MYkan and Professor Brain found a pony in ice. They brought him to the lab.” she replied.

“A pony in ice?!” Applejack exclaimed.

“Yes, follow me.” Lightning and the others followed her but when Sapphire tried to get out of bed, their majesties advised her to stay, so Sapphire agreed and they went off.

Mykan’s POV

The lab ponies went positively ballistic with astonishment, and even their royal majesties were astounded.

The rest of the ice was melted away, and the body was placed in a tube of green liquid, which would help restore all vitals and hopefully revive the pony back to life again.

There was nothing much they could all do now but wait and hope for him to awaken.

“And to think, he was frozen all these ages.” said Grand Ruler.

“Yeah, but who exactly is he?” I asked.

Celestia observed the pony’s knight clothes, “There’s no mistaking it. He is an ancient Equestrian Guard. I recognize these garbs and armor anywhere from our ancient history books.”

Luna agreed, and added “Perhaps… he was a guard in the service of our mother?”

Everyone felt incredibly astonished, and Celestia… she felt a little strange inside.

Still, whatever or whoever all this was or meant, it would all have to wait for another time… at least until the pony woke up.

POV Ends

One 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 </B>*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 right*.Just 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. “How’s Sapphire?”

“She’s alright, she’s resting in my room for now.” Luna replied.

“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.

First thing on Luna’s agenda was checking up on the laboratory and see if Professor Brain was alright.

It had already been a week since the frozen pony was discovered and brought to the lab, and he was still resting in his tube of liquid.

“How comes it, Professor?” asked Luna.

“Not much change yet, your highness.” replied Brain “We did, however uncover these…” he motioned over to the work bench where the knight’s sack had laid resting, and before it laid two objects.

One of which was a simple pony knight’s helmet, it was ancient design, and didn’t seem to match that of the frozen knight’s armor as it was bronze in color.

The second object seemed to a fragment of a map, forged in a thin plate of gold, and with words written in Ancient Equestrian Scriptures.

The Starfleet database already translated the text, which Luna read out loud as she observed the fragment…

The text had stopped due to the fragment’s end, “Items of what?” asked Luna.

“I’m afraid I have no clue myself…” said Brain.

Much as Luna wished to stay and learn more, she needed to take up her post and watch over the night. So she excused herself and left the professor to his work.

Much later that night, The Professor was still up and working; he was one of those overly excitable ponies that once he got started on something really exciting, he would hardly stop, not even to sleep.

He was looking at the knight in the tube, anxiously hoping for him to awaken so he could learn more about the two items, as well as the era in which he came from.

Suddenly, the knight began to stir in the tube.

“Oh…!” chirped Brain and he checked the health-monitors. The heart was picking up, and the pony was starting to breathe more deeply through the respirator on his face. “He’s starting to awaken!

HE’S STARTING TO AWAKEN!!”

His crew of night workers all rushed over to witness the knight’s stirring, “Well don’t just lollygag.” said Brain “Drain the tube, get him to sickbay! Alert their majesties!”

Early the next morning, all three of their majesties were in the sickbay, Lightning and Starla’s Droid were there too, as well as Krysta, having been informed of the news.

The knight was still asleep, but very much fully alive.

The doors to the room opened wide, “Hey!” Goldwin called…

“Shhh…! Take easy.” said Celestia.

“Sorry,” replied Goldwin “But Mykan’s here too.”

*Mykan’s POV*

I walked into the room, having arrived at the palace earlier. I bowed to their majesties, “I got your message. Thanks for inviting me.”

“Well, after all, you discovered him frozen in the mountain.” said Grand Ruler “I thought it fair you be here to witness this.” I was told about Sapphire and her dragon and were surprised to see them both for myself. Snowflake was very cute and she nuzzled me.

Krysta could barely contain herself, “This is so exciting!” she chirped softly.

“Hey… I think he’s waking up.” said Lightning.

The court physician told everyone to stand back as he and his nurses stood by ready in case of any trouble, as the pony opened his eyes and groaned softly as he regained his senses.

His vision was still a little blurry, but the first thing he could see clearly was Celestia.

“Queen… Galaxia…?”

Celestia felt a little shiver inside hearing her mother’s name again.

“My mission…!” the pony said, and soon his vision cleared up and he looked all around him, “Where… where am I?”

“Just relax…” said the doctor, “You’ve been through a lot.”

The pony was shocked to see all the humanoid ponies, as well as Krysta, a fairy, and me myself, a human.

“What is all this?” he asked “The last thing I remember was I was on my mission, and… I don’t remember much after that.”

Starla whispered to the others, “He must’ve suffered extreme brain-trauma after being frozen for so long.”

“I’ve heard of this…” I said “It’s only temporary, it should clear up, but the best we can do now is just take it easy with him.”

Celestia approached the pony, and he took a good look at her, “You are… not Galaxia.”

“No, I am Celestia; daughter of Galaxia. This is my younger sister; Princess Luna, and my husband; Grand Ruler Celesto.”

The pony was somewhat astonished, but shocked as well. He knew Galaxia had two young daughters, but not only did they look much grown up, but had humanoid bodies, and as for Grand Ruler… seeing his three golden horns, he couldn’t help but stare.

“What is your name?” asked Grand Ruler, “Do you remember?”

The pony touched his head softly, “Yes… I remember…

I am Captain Shadow Coat, of Queen Galaxia’s forces…

But please, I must know, what is happening to me?”

Lightning stepped forth, “You were found encased in solid ice within the northern mountains. According to our analysis, you’ve been frozen for well over a millennium.”

Shadow looked more shocked than ever, which was to be expected. He lay back down in bed staring blinding at the ceiling high above, “A-thousand years…!” he softly muttered.

Everyone felt pity on him, especially me, I understood how I felt the first time I woke up in United Equestria, and my life was forever changed.

*POV Ends*

Little did anyone realize, was a Raider was spying on them all from very far away, with a special telescope allowing it to see right into the palace, and it could read lips too, and it caught on to everything said.

In almost no time at all, the Raider returned to the ship and informed Sienna though its strange language what it had learned.

“That will be all.” Sienna said.

The Raider bowed, and returned to its station.

“So, this pony has some connection to Queen Galaxia of the past.”

“Hey, this is great.” cried Mako “Maybe we can use him to find out where The Elements of Chaos are.”

“No, duh, Captain Obvious!” sneered Slash “You’d think we all didn’t realize that?”

Mako looked ready to burst into a tantrum, but Sienna a shot from her gun just barely missing Slash by a few inches and hit the wall. “Insult my brother in front of me again, and you won’t be around to do a third time!” she threatened.

Slash gulped softly.

Mako blew him a raspberry.

Omnisha couldn’t help but snicker at Slash.

Sienna then cleared her throat, “We’re going down to investigate, and by “Us”, I mean Omnisha and myself.”

“What?!” snapped Slash “But Captain, I--”

“Quiet, you!” sneered Sienna. She pointed her sword at him threateningly, and then took the capsule containing his Raptor monster, “You need to learn to have more respect for your crewmates and superiors.”

She then looked over at Mako, putting him in charge of the ship as well as Slash, “He’s all yours.”

Mako smiled, and Slash growled in shudder.

“Have fun…” Omnisha teased, and the ladies went off, and Mako snickered, much to Slash’ horror.

*Mykan’s POV*

Back at the palace, while Shadow was resting, the group all huddled together discussing what was to be done with Shadow.

“He may have information regarding his helmet and map piece.” said Luna, “So he will obviously be of great value to us. We cannot let him leave the palace.”

Celestia and Grand Ruler agreed, but while the others felt inclined to agree as well, it still felt almost like keeping Shadow as a prisoner.

“Well, it’s not like we can actually let him go out there either.” said Krysta.

“You’re right, Krysta.” said Lightning “He doesn’t realize how much the world has changed since he’s been frozen. Until we can acclimatize him somehow, in our society he’d be useless. He wouldn’t know where to go or what to do, or even how things work.”

“Well, then…” said Grand Ruler “I guess it’s up to all of us then; to acclimatize Shadow to our ways of life, and help form him into a model citizen.”

Suddenly, the alarms sounded, and the noise bothered Shadow a lot “What is that?!” he groaned as he covered his ears with his hooves.

“It’s our red alert!” said Starla “There’s danger a-foot!”

Shadow, feeling his royal guard instincts returning was willing to leap out of bed and assist in action, but the medical staff wouldn’t hear it, “Oh, no you don’t!” said the doctor, “You’ve just barely come out of a long recovery.”

Shadow felt rather insulted, but suddenly realizing he did feel rather weak still, he climbed back into bed.

“We better raise the shields.” said Celestia. Her husband agreed.

“Lightning and the rest of us nodded and headed outside, flying through the windows.

No sooner had we left the palace, did the barriers activate around the palace and all the homes in the village too, and we made our descent, Lightning transformed…

“Starfleet Magic!”

We touched down, and saw a while hoard of Raiders on the loose at the foot of the palace.

I drew out my sword and shield, “Let’s take these creeps!”

“Right, spread out!” shouted Lightning.

Lightning leapt over one Raider, and punched another hard in its chest, and trip-kicked another.

Three Raiders then aimed their guns at him ready to fire, but before they could, Krysta sped right past them, snatching each gun from their hands. “It’s not nice to point guns at people.” she taunted.

Starla activated her bow, “Good thing this isn’t a gun.“STARLIGHT ARROW” She fired her shot which went clean through the three Raiders, striking them all down!

Sapphire still wasn’t permitted to join battles, but her dragon Snowflake was a beast on the battlefield she rammed and smacked the Raiders with her tail and blasted them with her plasma blast.

As for me, I was duking it out with other Raiders who came at me with their swords, but I even though I wasn’t a super-trained Starfleet fighter, I handled them pretty well; using my shield to defend against their attacks, and my sword to parry their blades and strike them all down.

“Good thing I studied up a little fencing in my spare-time.” I gloated.

The others couldn’t help but chuckle at me, but suddenly they heard the sound of clapping. We all looked up and saw Sienna standing on atop a tall tree, “Bravo, a gallant performance.”

All of us growled at the very sight of her. Snowflake roared at her

*POV Ends*

While up in the palace…

…While keeping the shields stable, their majesties all stayed with Shadow, and Grand Ruler used his magic to cast a glowing image of the battle for them all to see.

“Who is that creature?” asked Shadow.

Grand Ruler replied, “That is Sienna; a ruthless intergalactic treasure hunter.”

Celestia nodded, “She has come to our world seeking a treasure known as The Elements of Chaos, which were hidden by my mother centuries ago.”

Shadow blinked once, “Elements of Chaos?”

“Yes…” said Luna “We know not where they are hidden, but we do know that Sienna desires them, and we cannot allow this.”

“Elements of Chaos…” Shadow muttered to himself, and he was suddenly starting to feel some of his memories returning.

What he and the others didn’t realize was Omnisha was nearby; with all the guards distracted and standing at their posts, and the rest guarding the perimeters, she managed to creep along the walls below the sickbay window. By doing this, she would get close enough to Shadow for her crystal-ball to gather information from his mind as it slowly became clear.

With no one spotting her, she waved her hand over the ball and concentrated, “By the stars of time, and the cosmic forces of old and new, unlock the thoughts of my victim and grant me the information I seek.

…Oooommmmmmmm!”

Her body began to glow softly, along with her crystal ball.

Shadow felt nothing at all as his memories became clearer.

Sienna snickered as she glared at the group, “You all don’t seem so thrilled to see me.”

“That’s an understatement.” grumbled Krysta.

“I don’t know what you’re up to,” sneered Lightning “But you’ve made a big mistake in coming here.”

The rest of us agreed with him, but Sienna only snickered and she thought silently,“That’s what they think. Even if I don’t beat them here, I’ll have succeeded in getting what I really came for. That’s what being a clever hunter is all about.”

*Mykan’s POV*

She looked down at the group and grabbed the capsule she took from Slash, “Well then, let’s get down to business.

Jema-Nite Raptor; stand by for battle!”

She unleashed the same monster that Dyno and Myte had faced before, and it roared at us.

“Whoa!” I cried “That is one rough looking dino!”

Starla scanned it with her visor, “Not only is it fast and strong, its special ability lets it absorb energy attacks in its mouth and spits them back out again at double the power.”

“Huh! We’ve faced monsters like this before.” said Lightning “But there’s still Sienna, she could make things worse.”

"We've should split them up..." suggested Krysta, "That way they can't gang up on us." Just then, Sapphire leaped down in front of us. “Sapphrie?!” Starla cried. Sapphire growled at Raptor and it growled back. “Just like before!” Lightning cried. Sapphire glowed and she changed into a Velociraptor.

She hissed at Raptor and they both charged each other, leaping into the air and going all out. Slahsing, clawing and bting each other hard in a huge dust cloud. What a sight. “Sapphire! Stop it!” Lightning called but Sapphire was too focused onn Raptor to listen to him.

Sapphire threw Raptor to the ground and it skidded a few feet along the ground. Sapphire snarled at Raptor and opened for mouth forming a large energy pulse. She fired it at Raptor and....

BOOM!

It destroyed him in one blast! “Oh my god! She’s strong?!” I exclaimed.

“We know.” Lightning grumbled. Sapphire changed back into herself and she fell to one knee. “Sapphrie!” I rushed over to her and helped her stand up. “You alright?” I asked.

“Pant.. Pant.. Yeah.”

Sienna scoffed, but then she looked way over past Starla and Krysta and could see Omnisha giving her the signal that she got the information required.

Sienna snickered, “You want to catch me… you’ll have to wait until next time.” She quickly removed the ring from her finger, and before the girls could react, she slashed her sword at the ground, making a huge flash of sparks so bright they had to look away, which gave her the chance to escape… laughing wickedly!

“She’s gone!” cried Krysta.

“That Sienna’s so full of tricks.”

Back on the ship, Mako called out for Slash, “Where’s my ice-drink, Slave!”

Slash, came out, holding a single drink on a tray, and passed it Mako, “Here you are… sir.” He grumbled.

Mako took on sip of his drink, and then spit it out right all over Slash’s armor! “Idiot…! I said bring me an ice drink, not a drink WITH ice in it! Take it away and do your job right!”

Slash’s ears were steaming, but he knew he couldn’t protest.

Soon, Sienna and Omnisha came in onto the bridge.

“We’re back.” said Sienna.

“Hey, sis…” called Mako.

“Finally…!” Slash groaned, “Captain Sienna… I--”

“Not now, Slash.”

Slash tried to protest, wishing to be released from his torture, but to no avail. Fortunately for him, Mako seemed to be too distracted to order him around anymore.

“Did you get the information?” Mako asked.

“Of course we did…” replied Omnisha. She held out her crystal ball “Those fools were too preoccupied to notice a thing. Now, whatever information they have obtained from their frozen friend is ours to use as well.”

The ball glowed brightly and everyone huddled around to view the information.

Sienna snickered softly, “Finally, I’m one step closer to fulfilling my greatest desire.”

*Mykan’s POV*

The other fighters had all regrouped and returned to the palace to freshen up in the sickbay, whereas Shadow Coat sat upright in bed, “I remember…” he said, and he requested the map fragment and the helmet be brought to him.

“These were entrusted to me but her majesty, Queen Galaxia…!”

Celestia and Luna both felt a bit uneasy hearing of their mother again, but they along with everyone else listened to what Shadow had to say…

“Over a millennium ago, cosmic forces invaded our blissful world, erupting into a fierce war of power and darkness.

Her majesty, Queen Galaxia had never known such incredible and devious powers before, and even she herself along with her entire legion of followers and I by her side, were unable to fend them off alone.

It was then; the Queen had decided to enhance us using the powers from The Light of Purity, and from this light… The Elements of Harmony were created, each one a representation of pure energy and forces of light.

However, what none were prepared for was from out of the unused shadow energy came The Elements of Chaos.”

“We get all that…” said Lightning “These are the evil incarnations to The Elements of Harmony.”

Shadow nodded, “Correct… But I don’t remember this one.” he looked at Sapphire’s element.

“The Tree of Harmony gave it to me.” Sapphire replied.

“And I can explain more.” a new voice said. That’s when four large snake like creatures with wings and feathers in a frill appeared.

“What the-? Who are you?” Lightning asked.

“The Name is Quita Moz and this is Lama, Hool and Qapa. We are the Sun Birds” Quita Moz said.

“And what exactly are you doing here?” Celestia asked, stunned to see the Sun Birds.

“We are hear to tell you about the the Elements of Chaos and you little human’s Element.” Lama said.

“Woah.. so Sapphire’s power can beat the Chaos Guardian?!” I exclaimed.

“Impossible!” Shadow added. “Not even Queen Galaxia could beat it. Galaxia was already severely weakened, having used up much of her power to create the Elements of Harmony, and battle the chaos before the Guardian had appeared.

Now, with that and her horn severed, her magic was depleting rapidly, but our queen was still not beaten.

Using all she could muster from her dwindling strength, Galaxia knew the only way she could to stop the Guardian... and tapped into the power of the Elements of Harmony, using their mighty power, she broke the guardian down, back into the six Elements of Chaos, and then concealed those evil items within an enchanted chest!

With The Guardian gone, the light began to return to our world, but still… The Elements of Chaos; far too dangerous to remain in the open, and we were unable to destroy them. Our queen had a plan…!”

“Until we are able to uncover a method to obliterate these wicked items from existence, they must be sealed away so that evil forces may not absorb their powers and unleash the dreadful beast again.

I know of such a place…”

“Queen Galaxia had planned to seal them within an Ancient Temple that only she knew of, and had a map to show the way…

However, not wishing for more information to be uncovered, she did not tell us the location of this temple. Instead, she had entrusted me and three other of my men with broken fragments of an ancient map, and four odd items.

We were not to question the motives of our queen, but were merely instructed to take these items and bury them away.

My search for a hiding place led me to the Frozen North. Here I intended to bury my map fragment and my item within the mountain itself, but before I could there was a powerful avalanche which buried me.”

…The rest was history!

“Sapphire has many powers she has yet to unlock. However she has unlock her shape shifting ability.” Lama explained.

“So that’s why who can change into animals.” Lightning said.

“My stars…!” Grand Ruler murmured. The rest of us all felt just as astounded as he did.

“That is all I know.” said Shadow “I can tell you no more.”

I walked over and observed the map fragment, “So this baby’s just one part of four that make a full map that can lead us to the temple where the elements are hidden.”

Shadow nodded, “Yes it is, but I have no idea where the remaining three pieces are, and even still, I have no clue of what the knight’s helmet is for. Each of my men was given a part of the map that held different bit of information, but not one of us had a complete a full picture.”

As everyone huddled forth and gazed down at the two items. “In the meantime.” Quita Moz cut in. “You all must help Sapphire master her new powers to help in your battle.”

“We will.” Lightning said.

“Good. We all must go now.” Quita Moz and the other Sun birds were bathed in a bright light and they disappered. Now the path ahead was clear: to find the remaining map fragments and items the knights were given and help Sapphire control her new powers.

…But it would be a long road ahead.
