//------------------------------// // Epilouge // Story: Alien: Twilight's Children // by TwiRaptor //------------------------------// Twilight stares out the window into the blackness thinking back to everything she did back on Equis. Everything she did before Valuntas Station, Before Fortwaid, Before the Fall, and Before the Xenomorphs. The shuttle continues to float deeper into the blackness of space, however, the shuttle isn't meant for long travel and already is low on fuel. Twilight closes her eyes pushing out a few tears one last time for everything, getting up from her bed she heads for the door. The Alicorn looks to the floor, feeling sick from the space travel, even now she still suffers from space travel. Stepping through the door she is greeted by Rahzzy, the stallion suffers from some close calls. Scratches on his side and front legs, some light acid burns on his neck and hind leg. These injuries will heal over time and it is obvious to Twilight he is thankful to be alive. The stallion has a smile on his face again. "Whoa Rahzzy, you look as bad as I feel" Twilight giggles and lightly she pokes his chest with one front hoof. The Alicorn peaks over the stallions shoulder to the door leading to the bridge. "Is she ready to talk with me?" "Nope, Ha Ha" Rahzzy steps out of the way and allows the Alicorn to step past, "Go ahead Twilight, I think it is time you two talk. I will be checking on the radio while you chat" "Thank you, Rahzzy ..." Twilight says softly moving to the door reaching out with a hoof to trigger the door to open for her. Stepping inside the Alicorn looks around to find her, "Mistilie?" The android rests against the wall, the robotic mare also suffering from losses of her own alongside the injuries she earned fighting Silver Star and trying to escape Equis. Mistilie doesn't respond and keeps her eyes closed, Twilight moves over slowly sitting down on the floor in front of the Synthetic. Reaching out with her hoof Twilight pushes up under Mistilie's chin. The Android's eyes open slowly, shinning brightly as she boots back up from her robotic slumber. "Hello, Twilight ..." Mistilie looks into the Alicorn's eyes while remaining almost emotionless. "Can I help you? Wanna talk about the good times? I can't recall the last one" "I don't wanna talk about that, Mistilie" Twilight speaks softly shaking her head, knowing that talking about those times would only make her regret leaving. "I know Equis belongs to the Xenomorphs ... I was hoping we could talk about a new home" "What about it? Even if there is colonists out there" Mistilie narrows her sight but keeps staring into the Alicorns eyes. "The Xenomorphs could easily get off Equis ... It just takes curiosity of somepony passing by" "That is why we are drifting as far as we can" Twilight looks away when Mistilie deepens her stare, "I want to believe my life doesn't end in a tin can, floating in outer space" The Alicorn sucks up her pride and looks back to the android. "I don't wanna sit here hating you" "I don't want forgiveness, Twilight Sparkle" Mistilie pushes herself up to stand, however, she is stopped by Twilight's magic being turned around. "What do you want!!??" "YOU WON MISTILIE!! I will never forgive you!!!" Twilight presses her head against the Androids snarling as she stares into her robotic eyes. The Alicorn's anger changes, turning calm and she pulls Mistilie in for a hug. "W-wait ... What?" Mistilie sniffles being held by the Alicorn, "I don't understand" "You helped save me, Mistilie Flare" Twilight hugs the Android tighter bringing her closer, "I want you to know how much that matters to me" Mistilie takes a moment to reel in what is going on, accepting it the Synthetic returns the hug closing her eyes. She may have done so much wrong, hated Equestria and caused its destruction, though it isn't a lie to say she regrets most of it after getting closer to Twilight Sparkle and Rahzzy. The door to the cabin opens, Rahzzy steps in holding a radio at his side and a smile on his face. The radio is blinking with a flashing light, that their call for help was received! .................................................................................................................................................................................... The shuttle lands on the surface with a heavy thud, the landing gear digging deeply into the fresh mud of the planet. Rahzzy unbuckles himself from the pilot seat exiting the door to reach the exit of the craft, the lights of the shuttle shut off as the shuttle powers down. Mistilie uses her magic to light up the area so the stallion could see what he was doing, Twilight tries her best to stay still but the change in gravity has her stumbling. "How does anypony walk here!?" Twilight screams as she falls to the ground, the Alicorn groans frustrated. "This is the last thing I want, struggle" "The ponies here are used to it, stationed here for probably years" Rahzzy says as he hooks up a small device to the door panel to hack it open. The ship not having enough power to function on it's own anymore. "I just wanna get out of this shuttle ... it's finally over" The door to the shuttle flashes with red lights as a warning to those outside that it was opening. Twilight pulls herself up from the ground ready to get off the shuttle. Mistilie uses her magic to help the Alicorn stay on her hooves. The bright lights of the sun shine into the craft blinding the three at first, however, as the light clears the sight of many rifles aimed in their direction becomes visible. Rahzzy reacts and knocks one of the weapons out of his face readying himself for a fight he is destined to loose. "Hold your fire!!" One of the ponies screams from the crowd, "It's them ... lower. your. weapons" A soldier with a Colonial Marine symbol steps forward to his squad. The soldiers who were given the order lower their pulse rifles and the soldier who had his weapon knocked away picks it back up. "What a lovely how do you do!?" Mistilie uses her magic to toss a nearby pebble from the ground tossing it at the soldiers lightly, as to not have them draw their weapons again. "If I wasn't friendly I wouldn't have landed!! I would have used my ship as a bomb and flown it into ..." Mistilie's mouth shuts as Rahzzy uses his magic to stop her from threatening them more. "Sorry ... we have been through a lot" Rahzzy chuckles taking a couple steps back, worried about the weapons. "I would explain but you might not believe it" One soldier steps forward tilting his head and placing his hoof on Rahzzy's shoulder to ease his mind. Every soldier steps away revealing what they were all protecting. In the background are about thirty families, all of them colonists sent here by Weyland Yutani as Terra Formars. "Look sir, whatever caused" The soldier looked at the burn on Rahzzy's neck and the soldier continues speaking. "Caused this ... you are safe here" "Welcome to Colony Six!" One of the colonists calls out to the three, welcoming them to the colony. Everypony in the colony calming down knowing the three mean no harm. "Twilight? What do you think?" Mistilie continues using her magic to keep the Alicorn up. "I don't think they know what happened to Equis" "They should know, Mistilie" Twilight looks at all the families, which she only sees as possible hosts if the Xenomorphs somehow made it to this colony. "Nopony should go near Equis ... This will be our new home" THE END
