The two princesses Celestia and her sister Luna were both at the throne room waiting for Twilight to arrive with Charming Thunder and the ancient artifact they have found. "Are you sure about this, sister?" Luna asked with concern.
Celestia giggled and replied, "Of course, Luna. It has been too long since we have seen our nephew Charming Thunder. Besides. My student said in the letter she sent me that he has something to show us and demonstrate to everypony." The guard knocked on the door and entered the room.
"Twilight and her friends are here." Celestia nodded and told him to send them in. Twilight and her friends including Charming Thunder and Daring Do entered the room. Charming Thunder was levitating a table in front while he was levitating the bag which had the egg. He then placed the table and placed a blanket over the egg and puts a glass over the egg and placed the blanket over it. They then bowed before the presence of the princesses.
"Aunt Celestia. Aunt Luna," Charming Thunder said after he looked up. He then walked to them and gave them a greeting hug. "it is so good to see you again."
"It is great to see you again, too," Luna said.
"How is Ponyville?" Celestia asked. "Have you ever found a place to live yet?"
"I made a decision on who I am living with," Charming Thunder replied. "but I will surprise you and my new friends on that later. For now it is time for me to show you what me, Daring Do, and my friends found at the temple Twilight was explaining to you about in the letter." Rarity then pushed a chalk board right behind the table and he levitated a piece of chalk and began drawing out pictures of the four stages of the Xenomorph. He then levitated the blanket off of the glass display with the egg in it and explained, "This is the first stage of the creature that you have never heard of." He pointed to the picture of the next stage which was the Facehugger. "This is the second stage of the creature which is why I am here to talk to you about." He then clapped his hooves and the doors opened and out came Shining Armor and Cadence carrying a covered cage which was shaking due to the movement while it was dropped to the ground. Shining Armor then levitated the curtain off of the cage revealing the Changeling.
"Why did you bring a Changeling here, Charming Thunder?" Luna asked, alarmed.
"That my dear," Charming Thunder replied. "Is our test subject for this little science project."
"Hmm. I did say to myself," Celestia pondered. "That if a Changeling was found, they would be executed. Guards, take the Changeling to the dungeon."
"Yes, ma'am," One of the guards said as they dragged it out of the throne room.
"What's the third stage?" Luna asked to her nephew to continue the discussion.
"There is," Charming Thunder said. He then pointed to the third stage which was a Chestburster. "The next stage is the Chestburster. It is the creature that forcibly emerges from the chest after the Facehugger lays its egg in the host's bronchial tubes. It is because it feeds on nutrients and white blood cells in the body."
"What if it is done eating those requirements?" Twilight asked.
"It finds the host's sternum, weakens the structure with acidic saliva and starts chewing through the chest. It would cause the victim to have blood loss, great pain, and shock. Then, it pops out of your chest like you are playing a game of Whack a Mole. Depending on the victim's blood color, the chestburster will shed its smooth skin and grow into either a Drone or my personal favorite that I have read in the book... a Predalien."
"What's a Predalien?" Daring Do asked.
"I shall show you in this book I have been borrowing from Twilight." Charming Thunder then levitated the book out of his saddle bag and turned to the page where the picture of the Predalien is. The creatures appearance is similar to the drone but there were dreadlocks on its head. Its tail is so sharp it can cut an apple into tiny pieces. A description says a very interesting fact about their behavior which stated "The methods of attacking their prey are like a lion or a wolf. They can circle around their intended victim, growl, then snap them up." Charming Thunder then closed the book and puts it back in his saddlebag.
"What are you going to do now?" Celestia asked.
"Me, Doctor Whooves, and his assistant Derpy are going to help me examine the egg if the Facehugger is alive," Charming Thunder replied.
---------------------
"Derpy," the doctor called to his assistant. "Is the x-ray ready for Charming Thunder?"
"It sure is, doctor," Derpy replied.
"OK, Charming Thunder. Place the egg behind the machine."
"Right," Charming Thunder replied as he levitated the egg. The x-ray was then turned on and it revealed the image of the Facehugger that is inside it. "Any heart beat detected, doctor?"
"Yes. There is." the doctor replied. "It is probably asleep."
"Then I think it is best not to wake it up," Derpy said. Charming Thunder nodded in agreement and placed the egg back in the huge testing tube.
"Thanks for the help, doctor," Charming Thunder said as he was walking out of the door.
