Episode 14: Glittering Sparkle No More, The Birth of Meg Melia
Sometime ago, Sun and Glittering Sparkle got into a battle outside of Stormtop Village in the Dragon Kingdom. When they strike their attacks at one another, it cause a large explosion and sends them flying in opposite directions.
Later that day, Glittering Sparkle groan as she begins to wake up from her unconsciousness. For some strange reason, she can feel water. The girl begins to sit up as she holds her head with her left hand and her helmet falls into the water.
She mutters, "I felt like I was hit by a truck."
Suddenly, she remembers what happened. Sun creates a powerful hammer with her magic and uses it to smack her on the head. Then when they attack each other, they are sent flying.
Glittering Sparkle begins to grit her teeth in anger, "Sun…!"
Glittering Sparkle feels so angry that her eyes begin to glow dark red. Suddenly, she begins to feel a strange new rush of negative energy. Soon, her face begins to show dark purple cracks around it. The girl gasps in shock and touches her face. She looks at the water she falls in to see her armor and the wings on her back.
She asks herself in shock, "Wha...what's happening?"
Glittering Sparkle begins to feel the strange negative energy again. Soon, her hair becomes dark purple and her eyes turn red. Then wraps her arms around herself to feel the pain. Soon enough, the armor begins to be restored. Glittering Sparkle screams in agony to feel the pain and the Dark Chaos Emerald glows with dark purple energy. Soon enough, the armor is restored and the dragon wings disappeared.
The girl opens her eyes to reveal dark red and says, "The girl known as Glittering Sparkle will soon be no more."
She then puts on her helmet that now has six crystals on the helmet and begins to glow bright red. With that, Glittering Sparkle uses her magic to make the armor disappear and change to her normal clothes. She disguises her eyes and hair so it will look like nothing is amiss. She then covers up the cracks on her face. She smirks to see that she has perfectly disguised the transformation. More than enough to fool Dr. Eggman and his robots.
Suddenly she hears beeping and looks to see the comlink Dr. Eggman gives it to her before she leaves for the Dragon Kingdom.
She answers, "Dr. Eggman, what can I do for you?"
"Hello Glittering Sparkle, how was your missing?" Eggman asks.
"I already made contact with Conquering Storm and the meeting has gone well. Except when I ran into Sun and her friends. They also freed another Hedgehog with a giant hammer," Glittering Sparkle says, rubbing her head.
Eggman says, "That must have been Amy Rose. That little pink hedgehog hits a hard hammer when she's provoked."
Glittering Sparkle rubs her head, "You can say that again. That Pinkie hedgehog hits her hammer hard."
"Yes. you're lucky you weren't badly slammed by her or you wouldn't have been flatter than pancake," Eggman says.
"Who are they to be exact?" Glittering Sparkle asks.
"I'll explain when you get back to my lair. Come back to the lair immediately," Eggman says.
"I'll be right there," Glittering Sparkle says.
The connection is soon disconnected and Glittering Sparkle is about ready to head back.
However, she thinks, "I need to get rid of Dr. Eggman and take over his Empire. I'll have to wait until I get all the emeralds from Sun and the Master Emerald from Angel Island."
Glittering Sparkle then creates her dragon wings and flies back to the lair. She looks down to see water creating small waves and dolphins swimming under the sea.
Glittering Sparkle thinks in anger, "I need to find a way to get the Chaos Emeralds away from that little princess. She already has four of those creatures and needs three more to revive. Then she will have all seven of them out of the emeralds. I need to find a way to get those emeralds away from her."
Sometime later, Glittering Sparkle returns to the lair to Dr. Eggman working on the computer and Orbot working on another. She then turns to see Cubot laughing.
Confused, Glittering Sparkle walks over and asks, "What are you laughing at?"
"Your fight. It's so funny," Cubot says.
"Hug?" Glittering Sparkle says, confused.
Glittering Sparkle looks at the screen to see a recording of Glittering Sparkle's fight with Sun. Including the fight she has with Sun. She sees herself getting hit by two hammers and her head becomes dizzy with birds circling around it. Glittering Sparkle puffs up her cheeks with an angry expression. Then turns her head away in a huff.
Cubot turns her head to see Glittering Sparkle.
"Hey Sparkle, welcome back. I was just watching your fight," Cubot says.
"Why are you watching the part when I was smacked on the head like a cartoon character?" Glittering Sparkle asks, annoyed.
"Because it's funny. You and Sun fighting is like one of those action movies. You even gain transformations like in one of those TV shows," Cubot says.
Glittering Sparkle mutters, "I don't know whether I should take that as a complement or not."
Glittering Sparkle walks over and asks, "So, is there anything we need to take care of."
"Not right now. I'm trying to come up with a new scheme to defeat those Freedom Fighters and his annoying friends, especially that girl, Sun," Eggman says.
Glittering Sparkle says, bitter, "You and me both."
She then walks away and says, "I'll be in my room."
"I don't think she likes that video very much," Cubot says.
"No. I'm afraid she did not," Orbot says.
Glittering Sparkle walks through the doors and down the hall. Later in the night, Glittering Sparkle is laying down in her bed.
She sighs and decides to head off to sleep for the night. Unknown to her, the Dark Chaos Emerald from her chest begins to glow. The girls continues to sleep and she isn't aware that the cracks from before begin to form. Glittering Sparkle begins to groan in pain as she wraps her arms around herself. She turns herself around as the dragon wings begin to form around her wings. The Dark Chaos Emerald glows so bright that it surrounds the room. And suddenly, her body begins to change into a bright dark purple light and has no idea what and why is even happening while she continues to sleep.
Suddenly, Glittering Sparkle opens her eyes to find herself in some dark purple abyss and not in her room.
"What is this place? Where am I?" Glittering Sparkle asks.
She then begins to walk around to see there isn't anything around. There's not a single person, object, or anything else. Glittering Sparkle turns her head to see purple smoke and it begins to give her the chills. Soon, she wraps her arms around herself.
"Why is this place feeling so cold? It's like an iceberg or something," Glittering Sparkle says, shivering and becoming scared.
Suddenly, she hears someone says, "Sparkle… Glittering Sparkle…"
Glittering Sparkle gasps and begins to look around in fright.
"Who… who is it?" Glittering Sparkle asks.
Then she begins to hear laughter and it sounds scary.
"Who's there?" Glittering Sparkle asks, frightened.
"I'm behind you," A voice says.
Glittering Sparkle turns around and gasps in fright. What she sees is some strange silhouette of a woman that looks like she's wearing a helmet and a suit of armor with a dark cloak. It reminds her of the strange armor she has worn before.
"Who… who are you?" Glittering Sparkle asks, frightened.
"Don't be afraid Glittering Sparkle. I'm what you called a close friend of yours," The dark aura says.
"That still doesn't explain to me what you are and why you look like you're wearing the same armor as I did?" Glittering Sparkle replies, confused.
The figure chuckles, "I'm the dark energy from the dark Chaos Emerald. I can sense your resentment, your anger, your sadness, and all the negative emotions. I can feel them flowing through you."
"You're the Dark Energy? You almost look like a person," Glittering Sparkle says, confused.
"You can say that," The figure says.
"Still, what do you want?" Glittering Sparkle asks.
"I want to help you… to give you more of that power. In exchange, I want to feel more of that anger and recently," The silhouette says.
Confused, Glittering Sparkle says, "You're not making much sense. You want to feel more of my energy."
"Yes. Of course, the best way to do that is to take on the source of your anger," The silhouette says.
Glittering Sparkle clutches her fist, "Of course, you mean Sun. That goody goody is nothing but a complete sap…"
"Yes. And yet… everyone in Canterlot High loves her," The being says.
Glittering Sparkle sits down and says, "Yeah. Everyone loves her because she is so nice to her. How can her being nice makes her so great."
Then grits her teeth, "Usually being nice… never gets you anywhere. It never did good for me."
"How so?" The silhouette asks.
"Because… Being nice is a way for people to take advantage of you. People who are tired to show kindness only meet up with rejection. People step on you just for trying to be nice. Those kinds of people are nothing… nothing but weaklings who are always getting stepped on," Glittering Sparkle says, showing anger and bitterness.
The dark energy begins to surround Glittering Sparkle.
Then says, "And yet, for some strange reason, Sun is… She's different. What I've looked up, heard, and seen… Sun is one of the smartest girls in school, most athletic, active, beautiful, social, and most popular girl at school…"
"What's annoying is that she doesn't exploit those strong points. It seems that everyone likes her because she's smart, athletic, and pretty, but what I can tell… they liked her because she's nice," Glittering Sparkle says, annoyed.
Glittering Sparkle then remembers spying on Sun from a distance. She sees Sun having fun with her friends. She uses her strong points to help make people stronger, and help those who are in need. She never asked for anything in return or doesn't say anything that she is better than others.
"Everyone says how kind, helpful, hardworking, honest, loyal, and a very good and generous person," Glittering Sparkle says.
She then grits her teeth as the dark energy surrounds her body and she begins to glow darker. Her eyes begin to turn red and are showing pure anger.
"For some reason, that is why everyone loved her. Because she is very nice to everyone she sees! Everyone thinks she's an angel! It's just not fair! Being nice never helped me… so why is it helping her! I was treated like dirt when I tried to help others and was used and taken advantage of. I never had real friends and I will never will they only want to use me!" Glittering Sparkle angrily says.
Then screams, "IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!"
Then she begins to sob, "I didn't serve that."
"I see. You were taken advantage of because you tried to be nice to someone. Yet, kindness works for Sun and not for you," The silhouette says.
She then shows a sinister smile, "I understand. You became like this because you were used and so you tried to create a whole now you that is full of pride and tries to sparkle. However, you wanted more. You wanted to become more when you moved to Canterlot City. Yet, there is one person who stands in your way."
"Yeah. Sun seems to be the only thing standing in my way. What's worse… she… she reminds me of the old me, but ended up getting better results," Glittering Sparkle angrily says.
She then slams her hand on the ground, "I want to get rid of her for good. I want to get that soft fire haired girl out of my life for good."
The silhouette grins and asks, "So Glittering Sparkle, you really want to get rid of her?"
"Not just to get rid of Sun. I want respect. I want to be paid attention to. I want everyone to like me. If I can't do that in Canterlot High… then I'll do what I can to make it possible on Mobius," Glittering Sparkle says.
"Then we should shake on it," The purple being says, and holds out her hand.
Glittering Sparkle looks down at the being's hand. She then slowly reaches out to the hand and takes a gold of it. Soon, the being absorbs into Glittering Sparkle's body. The next moment, Glittering Sparkle begins to glow dark purple.
Outside of the dream, Glittering Sparkle begins to make a transformation… a very frightening one. She soon gains her dark armor and the cloak and then gains those dragon wings. Her skin, hair, and eyes change into darker colors. The next moment, Glittering Sparkle wakes up and stands on her feet.
Then announces, "Glittering Sparkle is no more… Mag Melia has become alive!"
She then shows a sinister grin on her face.
The next day, Orbot and Cubot are walking down the hall to see how Glittering Sparkle is doing. Just then, Glittering Sparkle comes out of the room wearing the armor and cloak. Orbot becomes frightened to see Glittering Sparkle dressed in the strange outfit. Not only that, but her skin is dark gray, her hair is dark purple and has dark red eyes.
Orbot nervously says, "Good morning, Glittering Sparkle. I uh, must say, you have a nice new outfit."
The girl turns to Orbot and says, "Glittering Sparkle is no longer with us. I am Mag Melia now."
Orbot then begins to grow concerned, but Cubot begins laughing.
"Mag Melia? That's a silly name… and what is your new outfit? You,,, look like a samurai warrior or something" Cubot laughs and falls to the ground.
Orbot simply shakes his head with an annoyed look on his face.
"You have to excuse him… he is how you say… a good ball," Orbot says.
Glittering Sparkle holds her hand up and is glaring at Cubot and sends electric dark energy from her hand. The next moment, she sends the electric charge at Cubot causing him to fall apart into pieces and his head lands on the ground.
Suddenly, Cubot's voices, "Arrr! Shiver me timbers!"
"Well… that was a weird response," Mag Melia responds.
Orbot nervously asks, "Um, was that necessary?"
"Not really, but he is annoying," Mag Melia says.
Then turns to Cubot, "And Don't you dare laugh at Mag Melia again Cubot?"
She walks away as she says, "I'm sure Dr. Eggman can rebuild him. I didn't mess up his circuits too badly."
"Um, of course," Orbot says, concern.
Before she is gone, Mag Melia stops in her tracks. What spooks Orbot is to see Glittering Sparkle somehow gain a third eye and all three are glowing red. Orbot begins to shake that his his hard drive feels that it's going to become cold and shivers.
Mag Melia asks, "Do you know a place where I can practice my abilities?"
"Um yes, there is a large area that Dr. Eggman hasn't been used. It's downstairs next to the basement," Orbot says.
"I thank you. Notify me if Dr. Eggman requires my assistance. Until then, I do not want to be disturbed," Glittering Sparkle says.
"Yes ma'am," Orbot says.
Glittering Sparkle continues to walk down the hall where she can practice using her abilities. Orbot continues to watch as the girl in the armor walks away.
Orbot worriedly says, "I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this."
Orbot then picks up the pieces of his friend.
Orbot picks up Cubot's head, "Oh Cubot, I knew him well."
"Argh! My voice chip is all cattywampus!" Cubot responds by talking to the pirate language.
Orbot tilts his head with an annoyed expression on his face.
Orbot says, "I am really starting to get a bad feeling about the girl and the Dark Chaos Emerald. Dr. Eggman seems to be wrapped in his own plans to use Glittering Sparkle to notice… but, I can't help but think Glittering Sparkle… I mean Mag Melia has a hidden agenda in store for us."
Orbot turns to Cubot, "I don't know if you have any good advice, but how do you suppose we deal with this?"
Cubot answers, "Argh! Sounds that ye is starting to have doubts about this new mate of ours! If ye are having trouble with her and if she is planning something, then ye must go on the offensive. The one who can deal with Glittering Sparkle the one called Sun."
"I may not like your strange pirate talk, but you're right. In case anything goes wrong, I will have to go to Sun and her friends for help. I'll have to get more data to confirm my suspicions about her," Orbot says.
Then he says in concern, "I just hope we can solve this mystery before something bad happens."
Meanwhile, Mag Melia walks down the stairs and opens the door to see a large empty room. It's enough to look like it can be built into a gym, or maybe an indoor sports court line basketball, volleyball, or tennis.
Mag Melia then shows the dark purple energy from the purple Chaos Emerald. Then lifts her hands to create dark negative energy. The next moment, Mag Melia begins to surround herself in a dark purple aura and begins to spread dark electricity around the area. Unknown to Mag Melia, Orbot decides to secretly record the girl and her ability to see if she does anything suspicious.
