//------------------------------// // Twilight Signing Out // Story: Alien: Twilight's Children // by TwiRaptor //------------------------------// "Twilight signing in ..." The computer terminals screen lights up and starts recording the alicorns face for a virtual message to her parents. Twilight takes a deep breath and after a couple beeps the monitor begins to record her. "Hi mom! Just arriving at Valuntas Station. I wanted to leave you a message before we begin traveling. Everything has been going great, docked in one peace. I still have space sickness, like I discussed in my last message" Twilight bats her eyes as she looks at herself in the terminal. Twilight places a hoof on the screen as she gets closer to the screen missing her parents. Her violet colored eyes glistening from the light radiating off the LCD screen. "I'm sure I will get used to it soon." Several ponies begin to walk passed from behind,Twilight looks back and uses one of her wings to cover the screen so her message wasn't completely ruined before she could send it because of this commotion. "See you soon, I have to go now." she smiled delicately as the screen turns off. Bringing the recorded message to it's end,ready to be sent. "Hello Valuntas , I'm ready to see you again" she was worried. This was the first time she was ever invited to the workplace of her friend, Sunset Shimmer. Ears pinned back and tail tucking between her legs as she walks, passing many ponies as she moved down the hall. At the end stood Sunset who was for once not wearing her uniform. "Sunset, Sunset over here~!" Twilight's eyes open, she is laying on a bed inside a spacecraft. The sound of flames seep into the alicorn's ears and she discovers that soon she is alone. Rahzzy and Mistilie are nowhere to be seen, however, something tells her that something is very wrong. Forcing herself to get up she uses her magic to pick up a revolver that lays nearby her bed, looking at the metal it reminds her of the one she found on Valuntas Station so many years ago. "Rahzzy ... Mistilie ..." Twilight almost falls to the ground, at least now she was all bandaged up on her wound. Stepping outside the craft it doesn't take long to discover the truth of where her friends were. Twilight looks up weakly at her friends who are tied up on the ground with a shotgun pointed at their heads. "Good Morning, Twilight Sparkle~" Sunset Shimmer uses her magic to cock the weapon, Twilight gasps seeing the Unicorn again. "Everyone was beginning to wonder if you would ever wake up" "Sunset Shimmer!!??" Twilight yelps confused seeing her holding the other at gunpoint. "What are you doing!? This isn't like you!" Before the unicorn can answer the question, Silver Star steps down from a stairway nearby. Twilight looks to the Pegasus remembering she is responsible for these wounds. The Pegasus presses a button on her vest and this causes a second familiar face to come out after her, Iron Will. Sunset Shimmer gives a little wave as the seemingly emotionless version of Iron Will comes out wielding another shotgun. "Don't worry, Twilight" Silver Star grins and soon her grin causes her to laugh. She holds a hoof over her chest as her laugh grows louder. Wiping a tear from her eye the Pegasus point's a hoof at the Alicorn. "I just thought it would be nice to bring them back. I did my research and these two are just who I want to end your life!! Get off my ship!!!!" "When somepony tries to block!! SHOW THEM THAT YOU ROCK!!!!" Iron Will takes aim unloading his first clip towards Twilight Sparkle. Twilight casts a spell to shield herself from the gunfire and she ducks into the hull of the ship. "OH YEAH!!! LETS GET ANGRY!!!" "You missed dumbass" Sunset Shimmer steps up the ramp of the spacecraft looking inside to find Twilight, however, she is stopped as her weapon glows purple from the alicorns magic and it is used to smash into the Clone Sunset's face like a club. "What the fuck!! PAIN!! Bitch" "I won't let you kill my friends!" Twilight screams using her shield again as Iron Will takes aim. "I don't wanna fight you! I will if I have too!!" Twilight's mane begins to flow as she charges up her magic. Twilight's eyes fill with green and that color fills every corner of her eyes as she grows angry with her old friends. Iron Will rushes forward alongside Sunset Shimmer to try and interfere with Twilight, however, before they can get close enough a large magical burst exits Twilight's body sending them back down to the floor. Silver Star covers her eyes and her ears pin back as that magical wave causes every Xenomorph to scream in the distance. Twilight points a hoof at Silver Star and this time she is the one grinning, she even giggles slightly knowing what she is about to do. "What the hell is she doing!!??" Iron Will aims his weapon, the alicorn is floating off the ground without the use of her wings. He watches as the alicorn point's towards them with her hoof and then Twilight gives the command. "All Xenomorphs to me!! To me and attack!!" Twilight uses her magic to untie her friends, all these years she has held back her magic because she was afraid. Now her and the Queen Gene compliment each other. Twilight grins and her mouth now has two sharp, long, and deadly fangs that closely resemble a Xenomorph's. "Hey!! What the!!" Iron Will aims his weapon towards Rahzzy but the stallion uses his magic to shoot a quick burst of fire into the Minotaur's face. "No!! Not like this!!" The Xenomorph's bust into the room, all of them sprinting forward towards Iron Will, Sunset Shimmer, and Silver Star. Mistilie and Rahzzy are quick to run over to Twilight as the Alicorn lowers herself back down to the ground near the spacecraft. Iron Will unloads a few round's into some of the aliens, however, he isn't quick enough and several of the Drones begin to overwhelm him. Sunset Shimmer grabs a hold of her leader, Silver Star and pulls her closer to the only space ship available. That spacecraft's engines were starting up as Rahzzy and the others got inside and turned it on. "We cannot let them escape!!" Silver Star screams and the two quickly run inside the spacecraft to try and stop the group from escaping. "Get Twilight!!" .................................................................................................................................................................................... The cockpit shakes as Sunset Shimmer pulls Rahzzy out of the cockpit with a weapon pointed agains't his head. Mistilie shakes her head and uses her magic to pull the unicorn off of the stallion and punches forward knocking Sunset's head against the wall of the ship. Twilight looks over to the fight, her eyes still filled with green and a grin still on her face. The Xenomorph's outside rock the spacecraft back and fourth trying to knock it over. "Get her away from me!" Rahzzy screams as the gun is pointed back towards his head. Mistilie trying her best to keep the gun away but Sunset Shimmer was a fighter and used her weapon as a club to knock the Android away. "Oh shit!!" "Any last words Stallion?" Sunset Shimmer grunts pointing the weapon onto his head, "ARRRRRRGGG!!" Sunset Shimmer screams as she feels Twilight's fangs bite down into her neck. The alicorn pulls her back down to the opened door turning her Sunset's back towards the exit. "Twilight!! Please!!" "I would like to believe you were the real Sunset Shimmer" Twilight glares at the clone that is programmed to kill with disapproving eyes. "I can't take that chance!!" Twilight uses one hoof to kick the mare out of the exit and into the pile of Xenomorph's waiting outside. Turning back to the inside of the ship, Twilight get's punched by the Pegasus but it feels weaker than what Twilight remembers and it only stumbles her. Looking up at the Pegasus, the Alicorn bares her new fangs and lunges forwards pushing her against the ship walls. "Who are you!! Why did you do all of this!?" Twilight screams, demanding answers. "Explain to me now!!" Silver star gasps and coughs from loosing her breath, she was real, not an android like the last one. She reaches out looking into the alicorns eyes before she even starts to speak. Twilight glares and the loud footsteps of something outside the ship brings a smile to the Alicorns face. "I am Silver Star ... I see no reason to hide it anymore. I am the true leader of Weyland Yutani" Silver Star gulps and coughs still being held against her will. "I wanted the Xenomorph for the weapons division. After Mistilie made the threat to unleash them onto our world, I have been hunting for them" "What!! What about White Lightning!!??" Twilight screams slamming the Pegasus against the wall again angry. "You are Weyland!?" "He was a decoy!!" Silver Star pleads not wanting to be tossed around. "Somepony hired to protect my identity!! Just like everypony in this situation!! EXPENDABLE!!" "You aren't giving me many reasons to spare you, Weyland" Twilight growls and the engines of the ship start up and the ship begins to rise from the ground for take off. "I would kill you here ... but" Twilight lets go of the mare and turns away, Silver Star smiles feeling spared by the Alicorn. Twilight begins to wobble as she looses her strength the power of the Queen Gene starting to weaken her. Silver Star is about to leave when she feels a magical grip tighten around her. "You wanted the Xenomorphs?" Twilight says softly, almost to herself but Silver Star could hear. "No Twilight!! The world needs me!!" Silver Star pleads and before anything else she is tossed out the door of the craft, Twilight looks out the door and watches as the Xenomorphs begin to surround the evil mare. "There is no world that needs you ... Weyland" Twilight closes the door and returns to her friends, while below the Xenomorph Queen stomps over to the downed mare growling in anger as she recognizes the face of the pony. "We meet again ... for real this time ... stay back children, this thing is mine" The Queen reaches out and grabs the mare by the head and begins to examine the Pegasus. Silver Star screams for help but there is no life on Equestria available to help anymore. The Xenomorphs scream in rejoice as the Queen looks around holding the last host the hive will need to harvest. "I won't kill you .. yet" The ship begins to ascend into the sky, still visible from the ground below. Twilight's eyes begin to return to normal and the Alicorn looks very sick from the power she was just using. Falling to the ground the mare closes her eyes to rest them, it was finally over, for Equestria. Looking up to the craft the Xenomorph doesn't command an attack, she doesn't order the Winged Drones to swoop in. She just watches as the ship holding her host reaches for the stars and allows it, the Queen lowers her head and lets out a long saddened hiss as if saying goodbye too Twilight Sparkle. "Goodbye Host" .................................................................................................................................................................................... "Everything ... All that we did to stop them from getting onto Equestria" Twilight looks up from the bed to Mistilie Flare as she sits by the bed next to her. "I still feel like doing it, even if it is for nothing, nopony will hear me this time" Mistilie smiles and her ears pin back, this is everything she wanted but she is glad to know that at least Twilight and Rahzzy are survivors of the Alien Parasite that she created. Mistilie looks out the window at the planet in the distance, it used to be full of life but now it is a lifeless planet. Everything on the surface will be gone in a couple years, the Xenomorphs will make the planet their permanent home and nothing left will survive. Not like there were any ponies left alive after the last couple of days, with the attacks and the aliens themselves. "We were never meant to survive, Twilight Sparkle" Mistilie places a hoof on the bed and frowns. "All this time you tried stopping them from infecting Equestria, however, I think getting off that rock is the best thing we could have done" "I am still going to do it, Mistilie." Twilight looks to the mirror and opens her mouth looking at her Xenomorph fangs. "I don't wanna believe there is nothing left" "I won't stop you ... just know that if nopony answers" Mistilie reaches out and places a hoof on the alicorns head and smiles again. "I will be here with you, as a friend, til your last breath" Twilight nods, Mistilie being the lucky of the three for not being able to age and would surely outlive the rest of them. Twilight lifts the radio to her mouth and activates it sending out a signal that would probably go nowhere. She thinks of what to say, what could she say, and would it all be pointless? "This ... is Twilight Sparkle, Survivor of the Equestrian Infestation" Twilight takes a deep breath and keeps holding onto the button of the radio. "I am on board a Weyland Yutani space craft, leaving the Equine sector of our system. We are willing to drift for months to get as far away as we can" Twilight looks out the window as Equis gets further away, being left behind to be forgotten. She looks to Mistilie and Rahzzy who are sitting discussion, something. The Alicorn sucks up her tears and chokes out the last few words of her broadcast. "I wish things could have been different ... b-but we were not meant to win this fight" Twilight coughs and clears her throat to speak more. "We are alive, We are hoping, We are waiting ... I don't wanna sit here alone. I know you are out there! Twilight Sparkle" Twilight looks down at the radio and it remains blank, no notification of it being received anywhere in the Equine Band of the system. She closes her eyes and sucks up her tears one last time. "Signing Out" One light on the radio blinks, The message being received
