An egg had laid dormant in the Everfree Forest for centuries, basking in magic that it had never experienced before. Then White Lightning disturbed it, and the creature inside was awoken.
The ovomorph - the 'egg' - in turn, held a member of the species manumala noxhydria, known colloquially as a 'facehugger'. White Lightning would find herself waking up after a mysterious gap in her memories, and with a bit of a sore throat and wild hunger.
Heading back to Ponyville, as she had only been in the Everfree on an assignment from the weather team to tackle a few rogue clouds that seemed to be heading their way, she promptly bought lunch and ate five complete hayburger meals accompanied by large fries and a soft drink. Experiencing some minor chest pains, which she assumed was because she had eaten so much (though was still strangely hungry) she headed back home to see if she had some sort of medicine for this.
She collapsed in her home above Ponyville. Something unknown burst out of her chest. Xenomorph XX121 ran away, somehow gliding down to the outskirts of Ponyville lacking any wings or gliders.
It could feel. Magic coursed through it. It felt... different.
FEATURED ON 25/08/2019! WE DID IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Wow, this sounds really good so far. Can't wait for more chapters
What does manumala noxhydria mean in English?
9720953 Thanks, man! Shouldn't have to wait too long!
9721005 Manumala noxhydria is the scientific name for a facehugger. I think it's Latin, so I'm not entirely sure what it actually means, though I assume it has something to do with poison and water, or something along those lines, considering 'noxhydria'.
this is odd to say the least but will see where this is going
I feel so bad for the little Xeno in search of his "mother"
poor little guy's gonna get his heart broken
Loving the way this started, I too am a big fan of the alien series and lament that there aren't many good and finished stories on here so I hope to see this one continue soon
I actually searched yesterday to try and find an alien story. I am excited now.
9721184 Aw, thanks!
9721254 Woop woop! Personally, I'd recommend The True Nightmare if you want a decent Alien fanfic series; go check it out if you haven't already!
I am unsettled, disturbed... and interested. Carry on.
9721005
Manumala = Evil Hand
Noxhydria= Jar of Night
You could say Evil Hand out of the Jar of Night.
9722068 Really! How interesting. I assumed something to do with poison, huh...
This is looking good so far
I'm looking forward to seeing how he deals with his instincts against his morals 
cool chapter 
dang, this is pretty good. though, one question. how big is Strange Form in comparison to a pony, because here:
and here:
make it seem that he is fairly large and matured when later he say's:
and on the fandom wiki for xenomorphs it say's:
sorry if this sounds nitpicky, just making sure that size is consistent. (considered? relative? relevant? whichever word works.)
on another note, you might want to redo the later half of this sentence:
unless he was stuttering or fumbling over his words. if not, then it should probably look more like this:
and other than a few minor grammatical errors, that's all I have point out. keep up the good writing.
9723143 I was actually thinking about how I wasn’t keeping the size consistent; was just tired enough at the time that I thought there were only two places that happened and it wasn’t very noticeable. Thanks for pointing those out, man!
9723032 Thanks, dude!
It’s not my story to write, but I would have kept the language barrier, force him to use signs or write. Beyond my imagining that xenomorphs don't have the capacity to speak with their biology, it would make a great hurtle for him to jump interacting with the ponies, and force some creativity into his side of the conversation.
9723860 A fair point! However, I personally felt that that trope had been used far too often - especially on this website, with xenomorphs and with all other manners of creature - and, plus, it ties in wonderfully with my plan for the story.
You'll see later on!
Really loving the story so far and dont really gave any compliments other than matters of personal opinion lol. I agree it's an over used trope with the whole language barrier thing but I at least feel that Strange Form should still be depicted as having an extremely scratchy and grating voice that is at times hard to make out the words of. At the very least I felt he learned to speak waaaaay to clearly on his first try, but like I said earlier it's a personal opinion. The only other thing I could think of is how light hearted this story is so far for an aliens cross. Not going to lie I wouldn't mind seeing this story having the dark tag added it it
9724309 That's fair! You actually bring up a good enough point that I might go back and edit chapter one and the next chapter to keep that scratchy, grating voice. I think I made him adapt so quickly because I was really, really tired and it was like 3AM when I finished Sweet Apple Acres - oops! (Edit: did that!)
And, as for the darkness of this story... well, I'm just not sure. I might add the 'Dark' tag, or make it mature, or something like that if developments demand it but for now I'm just going with what I think the story is going to end up with. We'll see, though!
Ooooh things are getting spicy
9724459 I like spicy!

Does anyone else want to give this poor little innocent alien a hug?
9724795 How nice! ...yeah I’m good!
I agree, hug the poor kid. He's going to need it.
9727087 Shhhhh!
YES EMBRACE YOUR INSTINCTS. DALEKS HAVE NO NEED OF HIGHER INTELLIGENCE. HUNT THEM, KILL THEM.
9728116 A staunch supporter of evil! And a kaled mutants, at that - I believe they call you daleks now! Yay for variety!
9728145
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT? STATE YOUR BUSINESS OR BE EXTERMINATED!!!
9728182 Ah - I am the narrator, author, and creator of the tale of the creature you see before you!
9728209
WELL THEN NARRATOR, LET THERE BE MORE CHAPTERS OR YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED. ALSO IF YOU ARE A FRIEND OF THE DOCTOR THEN YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED IMMEDIATELY.
9728222 Oh, that guy? Nah, barely know 'em, don't worry! And more chapters will be coming - possibly of a better quality! Totally not because a dalek is threatening me, too!
Can’t wait for more! This certainly is a twist on the plot! Never seen a xenomorph be friendly like that and resist its’ instincts.
9729956 Three cheers for originality!

Alright, this fic is good, been good read, can't wait for more,
BUT,
Your missing a few things, but I don't know if you don't know or not doing it by canon
But form, was "born" that day, and as he is part pony because his "mother" was pony I'm pretty sure that form is a drone type/kind xenomorph
And that means, "He" is a "She" unless, somehow, the egg let out a Royal facehugger, then he's either a new born queen, or a praetorian and then, form being a Praetorian is a Male, but, he is having the Hunting, Expanding, Protecting instincts I think drone or queen
Edit, a xenomorph drone is female so they can turn into a Queen if have to or to start new hive, and with that, I must say, really good concept and all, good fic
9741893 Ah! I am aware. However, canonically, xenomorphs have no gender. The humans calling most xenomorphs ‘she’ is a pathetic fallacy; they are in fact all technically the same gender. There are no differences between them. So, Strange Form picks out the male gender for himself because - well, he wanted to!
9743229
Alright I get your reason, thanks for info, and keep up good work
If Xenomorphs can cry, I have a feeling Strange will be in the next chapter.... I just hope Twilight can provide comfort rather then judgement at his inadvertent "murder" of a Pegasus she knew
9749540 Confirmed, xenomorphs cannot cry.
...no comment on the other part of your comment! Spoilers, after all!
Oh fuck, next chapter is going to be bad
awesome chapter
9749610 Thank you!
