The scientists were laughing and doing their work, everypony that were on the other side of the quarantine zone all this time. Clueless, happy, enjoying themselves. Mares and Stallions, even some teenage ponies who were working here to make a living doing what they believed was a good thing. One of the scientists looked over to his wife and smiled, they were relaxing in a lab drinking. For them it was a wine kind of night. They had no idea what was coming and what too do when it came.
"Hey hon~ Isn't this great? We created our own kind of fuel and now we are drinking too our success" the male scientist spoke too the female one and she giggled nodding in agreement that it was really nice. "To Weyland Yutani!" Pressing the glass against his lips he froze as a sudden faint rustling sound came from above them. "What was..."
"It's just the roommates above our lab. They probably had a good day as well Okay?" The mare spoke softly but her look of happiness soon faded as the stallion looked at her with a unnerving stare.
"We don't have anything above us besides ventilation.." the lights went out and everything went dark, screams began to ring throughout the area around them and a loud smashing sound hit the floor in the room. The Stallion stood up and was tackled to the ground as a small runner smashed into him. Blood sprayed into the mares face causing her to run out of the room. Ponies rushed by causing her too trip landing in blood that was now resting on the floor. She looked to her right too where the ponies were running and then too her left to see the xenomorph creatures crawling on the ceiling and walls of the corridor. White Lightning was one of the many who were running down the hall, the mare got up and grabbed onto him pleading for help and answers. White grunted and started to wrestle her to get her off of his body.
"Get the hell off of me!! I cannot help you!" He managed to toss her off in time as the aliens were all coming down the hallway, the mare cried and fell to the ground blood on her coat. She was not part of the xeno division and did not know what was going on or what those things were. White took off and started screaming into his radio once again. The mare looked back and screamed as a xenomorph was now before her stretching out its arms to her. "Get me a way out of here now! You could say things have gone to shit!"
"Twilight! Oh Celestia Iron Will!" Sunset, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash rushed through a group of ponies. Twilight had managed to get Iron Will up but he did not stay up he was resting up against a wall with a hand placed on his gut. Twilight turned at the sound of Sunset Shimmers voice. Rarity had tears in her eyes at the sight of all this, the chaos, the confusion, the screaming ponies. "Come on lets get him inside here its too dangerous out here!" Sunset and Twilight both used their magic to move Will to the room slamming the doors as ponies rushed by trying to escape the wave of xenomorphs. Everything was group hugs as they were all together now and this brought a smile to Iron Will's face. He knew though that with every second they wasted on him the harder it was going to be too stop White Lightning. Twilight was snuggled up in a hug with Rarity and Applejack when he butted in from his laying position.
"Twilight! You can't let him get away, you can't let White get away with all his lies!" He coughed groaning from the pain in his side. He was in lots of pain but not dieing. "Go you have too!" He reached out too her as the alicorn was beside him now. His firm grip was placed on her shoulder and he nodded to her. "Your the only pony who can do it. If he lives Weyland Corp just might stay in business and they will be able to get others killed again" Twilight's ear twitched as she listened unsure if she was the one too finish this.
"If I leave you here you will die on your own! I won't leave you here alone, I can't leave another pony too die" She gasped as his hand drifted to her chest. He grasped the tooth of Gash and lightly pushed it up against her fur.
"You can do this, Twilight, I will be fine. After all I survived Gash and Valuntas and I made it this far with you" He smiled and let go of the necklace . She sniffled and nodded knowing it was true. "Take your friends, your strength, and take it too him. Make him pay for all his crimes Twilight" Sunset Shimmer gave a light smile and turned to Rarity and Applejack ready to let them know while Twilight gathered her strength. Twilight looked at Gashes fang and closed her eyes gripping it tight with her magic now. "Don't be scared to use that Queen Gene, however, remember it will never control you"
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................
White upholstered his weapon and shot off some rounds the aliens were pushing the army of Weyland troops back, three spitters were staying back moving back and fourth charging up their throats to shoot out some acid spit at the soldiers. The spit flew through the air landing on many of the troops bringing them too their knees and to the ground as the acid would get in their eyes and in their mouths making them choke on their own body liquefied body. White tossed his shotgun aside and growled at the number of the creatures pouring into the area.
"Keep firring you fools! Do not let them break, set up turrets, anything, do something besides dieing!" White shook his head in disappointment as he noticed some drones dragging downed soldiers away. "I will have you Twilight! I will have you!" Throughout the station the aliens flooded and massacred everything they came across. The remaining labs destroyed, ship construction areas, everything. The mass of aliens was unannounced, unpredicted, and deadly. Ponies would be halted by warriors by the mane to have their throats slit from with the razor of their tails. Drones would be dragging ponies out of bed, work, hiding places to be harvested by the great Queen who's location was still unknown. " I will not let her bring us down! I know that is her plan and her wish but it is never going to happen! My corporation will live on!" A drone was dragging a soldier down a hall hissing to itself and the bleeding soldier was pleading for death when Twilight stepped out with a glowing green horn.
"Drop him...I want to speak with him and then he is all yours" Twilight spoke in a very calm voice and the alien roared letting go of the stallion quickly. The alicorn walked over and placed her hoof on the glossy dome of the alien with a shaking hoof still very scared of the creatures. "Where is Weyland! Where is White Lightning!" Twilight used her magic to now levitate her gun to the stallions head. "Tell me and I might end your suffering~" The stallion laughed and coughed up blood.
"Who are you to ask me such a question! I don't know where he is!"
"Really? I think you do.." Twilight put away her weapon now and looked at the drone with a soft gaze. With a loud his the alien whipped its long tail across the stallions face with a loud cracking sound from the impact. "TALK!! I promised him something and I intend on keeping that promise!" Twilight giggled having lost her mind slightly from all this. She seemed more crazy when she communicated with the drone, like she wasn't herself. "Where is he!"
"I don't know! Just kill me!"
"I don't think so...that would be merciful and your kind doesn't deserve that kind of treatment" Twilight looked at the drone again and the alien hissed again smashing its tail across the stallion face again cutting a deep cut. "Tell me!"
"Okay fine!! Fine! Ease hanger, hunkered up with turret protection last I heard they were just setting up" Twilight nodded and did as she promised pulling out her weapon and pulling the trigger. The drone growled and walked off looking over at the hiding friends of Twilight but did not do anything about it. Sunset watched both amazed and scared. Twilight slowly put her weapon away and looked back with her horn coming to a dim glow.
"I know where to find White!"
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Pressed against the ground the warrior screamed wiggling trying to break free but couldn't. Shadow grabbed the drone from behind pulling the head back before the end of the killers tail came out of the warriors mouth causing blood to spray all over the floor. Shadow screamed and pulled the tail out then walking up too a closed vent access with loud thundering footsteps. The alien hybrid had great strength and with one hand ripped the ventilation open. Once open Shadow reached in pulling out a runner that was hiding inside, the small alien wiggled and Shadow just held onto it as if observing the way it worked. Tossing it to the floor Shadow pressed down with one foot slowly pushing down on the small aliens dome head until it popped like a grape.
"Holy shit what the hell is that thing! Sh-Shoot shootshoot!" A couple soldiers had busted in and opened fire. Shadow turned to them with a loud roar as the bullets smashed into the hybrid. Smoke began to fill up the room until Shadow was not visible anymore. "Hold fire, hold your fire!" turning on their headlamps the team looked through the smoke but it was short lived as Shadow stepped out seemingly unharmed only one or two bullet wounds and they were very minor. "Bullet! Bullet proof!" Shadow raised up to make itself taller before lurching forward impaling two of the stallion with its tail quickly whipping them off and lunging to the last soldier that was left pinning him down and quickly dispatching the pony with a stab in the brains with the infamous dagger tongue. Shadow roared raising his head up getting a scent that it was hunting. It was Twilight's and with a louder hiss the alien returned to the vents to pursue her.
Lights were flashing and Twilight was looking around with Sunset Shimmer and friends at her side. Rarity was sniffling and blowing her nose so often. She and AJ knew their sisters fate and Rarity was broken more than Applejack because she was so dramatic and the death of a sibling was enough to wreak her emotions for the time being. Sunset was looking at Twilight carefully and could not help herself anymore but to be worried.
"That power could be dangerous Twilight and I don't like it! The power to control such a beat all of the beasts...did you hear yourself back there? Your hate? When you were speaking to that xenomorph back there.." Twilight stopped and sighed nodding, she knew the effect and how she was acting and being told by Sunset was not helping.
"I need to use it when I can, your all safe when I am like this. They don't hurt you and that is the way I want it too be"
"We are safe in many ways not just because of your power. We have each other Twilight~" Sunset looked back at Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity. and Verglas. "You have all your friends"
"Oh how cute! I told you feelings would be the death of you!" Sunset froze and looked up slowly to see Coco Pommel aiming a flame thrower at the group with a devious smile. "I see you found Twilight Sparkle! Remember my little mission, Sunset? Give me the alicorn!" Twilight's horn started to glow a bright green once again but Sunset shook her head.
"No, wait, Coco you don't have to do this! You are better than this! Weyland does not control you, Coco!" Coco looked at Sunset and she actually looked to be listening that is until White came out of nowhere. "Oh shit..."
"Coco what are you doing? Clearly not your job, again~" White snorted and looked at Twilight Sparkle with evil eyes. "You should all feel lucky, here I am, out of the safe zone. Coco kill them and get me the alicorn" Coco looked at White then Twilight and her friends. Twilight growled allowing her magic to brighten a green color still. Sunset moved in and held out hoof to the android. "What is this? HA! Are you serious?"
"Please coco...we have come too far too die like this. He is just a boss who wants to use you...we can be your friends" Twilight looked at the android, the android looked at White, and White looked at Sunset feeling an itch to kill. "He is nothing but a coward! Asking a mare like yourself to do a mans job! If he wants Twilight, tell him he needs to do it himself if he is so great. I met an android like you and this alicorn her e made that android feel alive. Made her feel like she was real, a real friend and being. An android that was allot like you Coco Pommel...she can be your friend. He never will be..." White slowly pulled his weapon off his back and pumped the shotgun, a shell fell to the ground and he snarled.
"Don't think about it asshole or I will choke you out with a scarf! Don't think I won't as your aliens what I can do" Rarity stepped in actually taking out the a scarf, "I have allot of scarfs" Sunset couldn't help but smile at that being said, Twilight giggled and nodded at that.
"Or I could have you knee deep in Xenomorphs! Which I should just do! You need to die!" Twilight couldn't hold that back and Coco was listening more now that the mares were stepping up against the stallion. "So how about we do something instead of waiting for something to happen..." Coco looked and tossed her weapon aside. White pulled up his weapon and pulled the trigger with a click. Twilight placed a hoof over her own mouth and smiled. "Out of bullets, some friend you have Coco. He was going to kill you for that"
"You think you win because you have my droid!? Ha! Good luck!" White turned as troops entered the room, "Is my pod ready then? If so let us be leaving because I am finished here. Blow the fuse!" The troop shook his head looking back frantic. "Blow it now!"
"But sir there is something.."
"Give me that now! When I say blow it I mean blow" The troop screamed as the hybrid busted in with a roar. White dropped a detonator and Twilight's eyes widened, it is as if she could sense she had no control over that one. "Holy shit you escaped!?" Shadow hissed and swiped his large tail tripping up the troops and then slamming his claws down into their eyes, stepping on their bodies with both feet Shadow pulled up ripping the heads from the stallions.
"Coco! Get them out of here! I need to stay for this!" Twilight screamed shoeing them off, "Go now!" Sunset and the rest were moved back as Coco was stronger and did as she was told. Twilight's horn began to glow and loud screams came from the vents as her help was on the way. White took out a long sword readying himself. Twilight closed her eyes taking a deep breath, this could be it, the final moment, the fight, the last fight.
"Twilight!" Sunset reached out and was pushed back faster as the vents broke open, five warriors, two spitters, and a runner were now present by Twilight Sparkles side. "Twilight no!!!" Shadow turned and started walking a circle in the room. The opponents were lined and ready. White narrowed his eyes and slipped a bit in the blood that was now on the floor, he looked at the hybrid then too Twilight and her aliens.
"Alright! Fine! This is how it will end! I guess you will learn why I am not the one you wish too fight, Twilight!" Twilight screamed and the aliens rushed in except for the spitters. One of the warriors went for White Lightning and just as the alien was near White jumped up spinning in a flip landing down behind the xenomorph swinging his blade decapitating the alien and the body stayed standing as if it had no idea it was suppose to be dead and took a couple seconds to fall. White's blade was not melting either and he turned as Twilight took out her gun. "Come on sweetheart, show me what you can do!" Shadow lurched forward slamming into two of the rushing warriors going claw to claw. one of the tails managed to stab into the large hybrid but that only became leverage. Shadow grabbed the tail as it was in his body and used it like a sting for a bola and threw the alien into a wall. Twilight used her weapon to block the blade as White swung down, the metal smashed into each other with a loud crashing sound. "This will be your final chapter you reject!"
"If that is so I will make sure it's yours too!" Twilight pushed him back and was almost knocked down as her runner alien rushed by jumping onto Shadows back to cause the alien hybrid to fall trying to reach the little alien. Distracted Twilight was met by a hard head butt by White causing her too stumble back. He then swung at her with the blade but missed by chance by inches and on his second attempt she jumped up flapping her wings slamming a back hoof to the bustards nose.
"Argg!! Lucky shot! Round two?"
"There is no rounds in a death match, tough love baby~"
"Oh nice one, alright, continuation then!" White rushed forward swinging his blade down again. White smashed the blade into the ground as the alicorn dodged the swing lifting her pistol up to shoot but a back white hoof knocked her aim off and she shot the floor. Pulling the blade up gave a chance for a new attack. A spitter readied up at Twilight's command and shot a large glob of spit at the half changeling but he practically matrix to dodge the shot made. Shadow stabbed his large tail between the two quickly in an attempt to intercept but the other spitter rushed in and cradled the tail biting at it now. Sunset Shimmer and the others were desperatly at the exit trying to escape.
"Coco what is the hold up!"
"Its not opening Sunset! I am trying! Somebody else is on the other side trying to get in as we are trying to get out! Or codes are intercepting making this impossible" Twilight used her magic to push White back again but he didn't stay back and tackled her too the ground planting his fist into the mares face.
"You! Should! Have! Listened!" Twilight was hit with every word, the runner got off and was about to rush over but was grabbed at the hind legs by shadow smashed the little thing into the wall while impaling a warrior with his tail. Twilight was getting messed up and dizzy as she was being repetitively hit by the stallion. "You are an idiot for an alicorn!" just then Shadow rose up behind White pulling him off and tossing him into a wall followed by an attempt too impale Twi too the ground with his tail.
Twilight stopped the end of the tail with her magic just before it hit her. She cried in pain as she slowly moved it aside to get up. Sunset and Coco had finally gotten the door open and the gasped as Iron Will stood there still very hurt.
"Is she okay!? Is Twilight okay! The ship is going to blow don't let Weyland detonate!" White smiled holding the detonation and pressed down the button. Large flames and rumbles shook through the station and the room they were all in snapped creating a deep hole of flame. The station was large and the explosion was designed to rip the station in half and the room they were in was the top level of the middle of the ship. Everypony was fallen and the several aliens were crawling on the ground lit on fire and dieing. The ship was not split but there was now a deep hole going through the center of the ship. "Twilight!!!" Iron Will screamed at the downed alicorn too get up, "Twilight look out!!!" Twilight looked up and White was there raising the sword up to impale her but she used her magic again to stop him.
"You are not going to kill me! I won't let you!" Twilight struggled as the blade was still slowly getting closer to her heart. "I won't die like this!" The fire around them was growing and it was blinding. "White I cared about you...you were my friend but you have become such an asshole" With all her might she pushed against knocking him back towards the hole until he slipped falling at the edge of it and almost rolling down to the pit of flames. Twilight slowly pushed up and looked around, Shadow was down trying to push some heavy rubble off of himself. The alien looked determined and she realized it appeared to be after her. Iron Will ran too the alicorn and so did her friends as White didn't move afraid he would fall to his death. "You all need to leave...its not safe here and I am not done yet!"
"We can leave it is done, he will die here Twilight" Sunset reached out and Twilight refused shaking her head. Using her magic she moved Sunset Shimmer away.
"I said go! Shadow is too dangerous to live but also deserves vengeance for being created and I will bring it too him when I kill his creator! I need you too go!" Twilight looked over and the hybrid was now free limbering up before looking at Twilight. "Don't worry, I've got this!" Twilight stood still and Shadow ran forward and Twilight screamed as loud as she could, "HELP ME!!!" Shadow stopped in front slamming his tail into Twilight gut.
"TWILIGHT NO!!!" Instant tears appeared in Sunset Shimmers eyes, Twilight arched back in pain before going practically limp looking down at Shadow as the hybrid lifted her above his head with his tail.
"This is where you loose....she has been fallowing me, Shadow, you were a good boy. In your own way...but your not one of her children....I am..." Shadow yelped as a loud footstep rose was heard. The Queen pulled herself up from the fire pit reaching out and grabbing the hybrid ripping him away. Twilight was tossed off the tail as soon as the alien was ripped away by the Queen and she fell to the ground. Shadow shook and tried to get away but the Queen screamed and held him still. The Queen didn't kill however but instead looked around and started a climb back down the deep fire pit and she dug out of there through the broken rubble. Twilight coughed as her friends joined her side and she immediately got up and began to speak backing away from them and towards the hole. Her eyes were a bright green instead of violet. "Iron Will! Let the ponies know! Let them know what happened here! Bring the company down...for me...please" Big watering tears fell from the alicorns face as she was now standing over White. "Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow, I love you girls so much...you were like my sisters!" Sunset reached out and knew what was next. "Sunset..."
"No Twilight don't!" Twilight smiled and slowly took off her necklace, she used her magic to give to Sunset Shimmer. "Please no...please..." Twilight put it on the floor and Susnet immediately picked it up.
"Give that too Scootaloo if you find her! Tell her she is the safe now....tell her I miss her....she is strong!" Twilight then pulled Sunset shimmer close and looked her in the eyes with her dieing ones. "As for you Sunset....I love you~" Twilight pulled the unicorn in for a long deep kiss before separating it and grabbing White with her magic. The stallion got up and reached out in a pleading way as he was pulled in close to Twilight. Everypony reached out and screamed together.
"NO!!!" Twilight leaned back and let herself go falling almost gracefully down the hole with White, the flames reached up with a deathly glow engulfing the two ponies. Sunset Shimmer was reaching down screaming being pulled away slowly away.
"Twiiiiilliiiiiigght!!!"
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The pod shot out, they were all inside, Sunset Shimmer was holding the necklace close and she let out a long deep sigh of sadness, Twilight's words were ringing in her head. I love you, I love you, I love you...They were headed to Equestria where they would be safe, was it over? Was it finally over? for most it would never be over with Twilight gone. It was her final chapter and that is a shame but its not over for them for their chapter has yet too end.
"My friends....Applebloom, Fractured Hearts, Silverstar, Sunset Shimmer, Captain Iron Will, Sweetie Belle....they have all signed off. they are either deceased or believed to be" Twilight pauses and the radio was quiet for a moment. The blood collecting on her body and her eyes closing slowly, "This is Twilight.....Signing Out"
