Saving Me

PROLOGUE

Twilight looked down at the floor as the blood started dripping from her mouth, her hearing was extremely muffled and all she could feel was the pain. The ship walls were creaking from the explosion, light were flickering all around her as the motion tracker rested on the floor. Twilight looked over to her pistol and slowly levitated the gun up to her chest as she pushed herself up onto her hooves. The taste of iron in her mouth was overwhelming as the blood continued to gather there. Pushing her gun into its holster the alicorn uses her levitation spell to raise the motion tracker up to her face. The screen was blank, no movement, nothing. Twilight tried to smile but the pain in her chest was extreme and was all she could really focus on, except of course the motion tracker. She began to walk forward to exit the room as the fire inside began to spread, red lights flickered all around her until she excited, once she did the motion tracker began to beep a dot reveild itself on the screen and Twilight froze in place pulling out her gun.

"No..NO!!" Twilight pulled the hammer back as the dome head of the alien began to emerge from the darkness. Twilight teared up as the familiar face was now fully visible. Gash had spit dripping down from the lips as it slowly walked forward from the darkness. Twilight's body began to shake as she raised the gun up a level closer to her head. The large Xenomorph slowly opened its mouth and let out a loud high pitched scream. Twilight whipped the gun up and pointed it to her head and screamed loudly, her reflection beat off the aliens head as a tear slowly rolled down her cheek.

CHAPTER ONE

"Twilight? Twilight please tell us what is going on. There was a large explosion detected on Voluntas. What is happening up there" Twilight giggled at the ponies and smiled.
"You might not believe me if I told you....however i don't see a reason not to tell you other than that. There was a attack on Voluntas, an alien organism, don't bother going there everypony is dead" the radio buzzed and the ponies on the other end responded.

"Alien what!! Twilight, you have to let us know what is going on!!"

"My friends....Applebloom, Fractured Hearts, Silverstar, Sunset Shimmer, Captain Iron Will....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" Twilight let her hoof slowly moved her hoof over Scootaloo's back and smiled with her eyes closed. The ship hummed as it picked up speed going away from the station. "It's going to be okay now...." Scoots stayed close to Twilight, the alicorns blood was on the filly. White looked back from the pilots seat and shook his head punching in autopilot getting out of his seat and heading back to the dieing mare.

"It won't be okay if you die on me, open your damn eyes, don't quit yet!" White moved the filly off the alicorn and lightly slapped Twilight on the cheek. "Come on, we are in the perfect place to help you. We escaped on an ambulance craft for fuck sake. Don't give up" White used his magic to move her way from the wall and grabbed onto her with his hooves. "Come on lets help you" Twilight looked up into the stallions eyes now that her eyes were opened. Scootaloo moved over to her unconscious friend Sweetie Belle and watched. Twilight stared as she was moved onto a table, White placed a hoof on the mares forehead and smiled down at her as she stared into his eyes.

"Thank you White, you saved me..." Twilight said weak and quietly. Her eyes began to close again and her head going limp. White shook his head and slapped her a bit harder this time but the alicorn's eyes persisted to stay closed. He slapped her harder knowing if he did not get her to wake up the situation would be critical.

"Come on!! TWILIGHT!!" White screamed and taped head again, Scootaloo shook her head and tears began to fall from her eyes seeing Twilights life fading in front of her eyes. "COME ON!!! Twi!!" The stallion grunts and places his hoof on her chest and freezes for a moment. He closes his eyes and pushes down rubbing against Twilights ribs. The pain woke up the alicorn and she began to groan and her eyes started to close again. "I saved you, now I am going to fix you! Stay with me!!" Twilight looked over to Scootaloo with dead eyes, staring at her she closes her eyes, everything was black.

Twilights eyes shoot open after the operation on her was over, the pain was extreme and she was sore as shit. Trying to pull herself to a siting position she fell back onto her back and stared up at the ceiling. Twilight let out a groan, the groan turned into a tear as the last moments on Voluntas stations flashed in her mind. Sunset Shimmer stabbed her, the one she trusted tried to kill her. Twilight at that moment teared up and sniffled trying not too cry.

"I loved you...why would you do that? I trusted you Sunset, I trusted you..." Twilight said to herself trying to force herself to remember the good times but couldn't as the thoughts of Gash and siblings tearing the ship apart, that and how Sunset tried to kill her was all her brain would allow her to think about. The radio that was once buzzing for answers from Twilight was now silent, along with the rest of the ship. Scootaloo rested in the corner of the ship with Sweetie Belle at her side. Twilight could only guess that White Lightning was piloting the ship again. "Is it over? Is it finally over!?"

Isolated Life

Twilight leaned against the back window of the ambulance craft looking back into the empty darkness of space. She looked at each star in question of where it all started. The pain in her body was easing up slightly and she was starting too feel better about the situation she was in. With all her friends gone, her new friends gone and Valuntas now becoming a horrible memory as the station was no longer in view after what had to be hours of flying after the massacre on the station. Everytime Twilight looked into the glass she imagined Gashes fangs dripping spit behind her, ready to end her life, the creature was beginning to haunt her thoughts. Scootaloo was now sitting next to her leaning her head against the alicorn's leg in comfort. Sweetie Belle was laying on a small table groaning still asleep like before when they left Valuntas. As things were getting quiet and Twilight started to feel sleepy the radio started to scream as a pony on the other end started speaking.

"Twilight...are you still there?" it was the same stallion voice from before but instead of him being hyper and worried he was calmly speaking. "Twilight if you are still there please...please pick up the radio" Twilight looked back and slowly reached for the red button pressing it in with a click.

"This is...Twilight" the alicorn said weakly and she was obviously loosing her voice as it was faint and crackly. She was exhausted. "Twilight signing in....who is this?"

"Twilight, we will have time for our names later, right now we need to know where you are" the sound of rustling paper buzzed from the other end and then the stallion coughed lightly. "We have been calling out for survivors and answers regarding the station your pod came from, however, answers about Valuntas are still close to non existent" Twilight nodded to herself and sat down by the radio listening to the radio some more as he continued speaking. Scootaloo was still near by looking over at the radio as well. "I need you too do something for me if we are going to find you, okay"

"O-okay...what do you need me too do?" Twilight was unhappy to do work but if it meant she would no longer be floating in space she was willing to do anything.

"Alright, every ship has a tracking beacon, we need you to turn that on for us so we can track you down. depending on the age of your craft will determine where your beacon is located" Twilight slowly lowered herself into a laying position as the stallion continued, the things he was throwing out only made her regret agreeing to do this. "Unlucky for you...Captain Will was a man of age, he enjoyed the big clunky crafts for there age and resistance to stress" the stallion continued until her finally revealed where the beacon was located. "The beacon in your craft is under a panel in the mane ventilation, the ventilation in small crafts are short and fat but dark as hell so bring a light" at this moment White Lighting was also around the radio listening in, he was shaking his head at the word ventilation as he remembered it was Gash's favorite place to hide that and the time he had to crawl in attempt to save Sweetie Belle.

"Alright, we will see what we can do , thank you!"White said pushing the red button so that it would pop out and end the line. "Your not going up there Twilight, you are far too injured to do any work. Let me do this one, okay?" twilight shook her head not liking the feeling of being useless. She didn't want to do this but didn't want to sit here and do nothing at all. Scootaloo looked at White and looked scared, "As for you Scoots, not every vent contains a monster okay? I will be fine" Scootaloo nodded slowly hoping he was right.

"Just be careful up there okay...its already isolated in this ship as it is" Twilight said bluntly and with a stern look on her face. Only a slight hint of teasing in the small grin on her face. "Not like it would be any different, you have been in the pilots seat this whole time. I might not notice it if you were gone" Twilight giggled and White beamed a smile at her before heading over to the center of the room and above his head was the ventilation entrance.

"Let us get this over with"
................................................................................................................................................................

Pulling himself up White makes his way into the ventilation, Twilight watched holding a flashlight waiting to give it to him once inside. The vent was whistling as the air was moving around it, the panel would be in the middle of the vent above his head when he got there. Luckily like the stallion on the radio said, they were in a small ship so it was small ventilation. White reached down and took the light from Twilight once fully inside, he then wiggled his way down the path. It was a tight squeeze and the air was freezing up here, with every noise that came from him moving around he couldn't help himself but to make sure he wasn't alone once he made it too the panel.

"Alright, lets just open this, get out, done....there is no monsters....there is no monsters here with you" White was like any survivor would be. He was terrified of the fact that something might still be out there, ventilation wasn't his strong suit anymore. He pulled the panel off revealing a blinking beacon, it was flashing red. White quickly moved his eyes around looking for clues on what to do. There was a sticker that stated it simple, red was off, green was on, and press beacon to switch mode. White moved his hoof out and pushed the beacon in until it turned green. After doing so he put the panel back over it and moved as fast as he could out of the vents, not a fan of being up there. Twilight waited for him below starring up into the vent entrance.

"White!! Come on! Get down already....it can't be that hard to find a stupid" as she was about to finish her comment White came down quickly from the vent and smiled at her as he wiped himself clean of vent grease. "Stupid panel..." Twilight giggled and moved to the radio, she placed a hoof on her side because the giggle caused a slight pain in her body from her injuries. Quickly pressing the button Twilight spoke. "This is Twilight...if the one who spoke to me a moment ago is still signed in, please respond! Our beacon is on, pick us up and get us out of here" Twilight smiled having a good feeling of ending their isolation. The stallion quickly answers back ready to brief them.

"Alright, yup, we are receiving a signal from your ship! Awesome job everypony!" Twilights face lit up with joy and she used her magic to swing Scootaloo into a close snuggle, they were going to be getting out of here! Twilight snuggled the filly close and quickly set her down lunging even with the pain into White giving him a big hug smiling wide, she hated space ships even if her fear of space was better being handled after Whites training on Valuntas she hated it out here. "However...it could be hours before we pick up your actual location, maybe days depending how far you are from us" the stallion said sternly shuffling some papers, "Your signal is weak which is a bad sign....could be something clogging up your exterior vent entrance or your far out...sorry" Twilight frowned moving up to the radio pressing her head on the speaker, "We will send our scouts out too get you, do your part, we are on our way! See if you can boos the signal" twilight sniffled and started to cry against the radio.

"Alright...f-fine, we will see what we can do..." Twilight said before ending the call, White had a frown on his lips from seeing the alicorns tears form, she was far different now than before. She seemed weaker and easily pushed off the ledge of happiness. "White, we have to see whats up with the ship, there is no way we could be too far out, something is wrong" Twilight looked up to the vent, they had to gear up and go outside the ship to check that vent entrance but who would go?

Fall of Valuntas Station

View Online

Twilight was breathing heavy as she kept close to the outside of the ship looking for a clip to tie herself too, she was the only pony who could do this. White, even with his experience working with Weyland had very little success in space walks. Twilight slowly reached over one of the engines and thankfully they were both off. Twilight used her rope and tied it too a clip that was located on the engine, she jumped and used the rope as a way to come back down too the ship. As she jumped her head became dizzy and most of the time she felt like she was going to pass out. Breathing heavy in her helmet she slammed into the top of the ship and bounced but she quickly gathered her senses and grabbed onto the rope and slowly pulled herself back down to the ship.

"White? Where is this vent exactly? I don't see anything up here that looks like an opening" Twilight looked around the surface of the ambulance. "I need some help here, come on White" Twilight pulled herself around the surface of the ship looking for clues as to where the entrance to the ventilation could be on the outside of the ship.

"Oh um, found it! It should be located in the back of the craft and if it is broken or jammed it will have a flashing light over it if I am reading this right" Twilight stopped moving after hearing that and rolled her eyes as she made her way to the back of the ship. Twilight could feel her strength getting weaker, she was regretting arguing with White about who wold go out. "Yeah, it will be back there Twilight. Just head back there and see whats going on okay?"

"Alright, Alright, I am heading my way there now" Twilight could see it as she was getting closer, a orange light was flashing over the vent as she neared it. She could see something was wrong with it right away, there were segments that were covered in a clear slime. The vent stopped working because of it and Twilight immediately became uneasy as she approached the entrance of the vent. She narrowed her eyes hoping they would adjust to the darkness even in space. Twilight noticed something in the back of the entrance and reached out too it slowly. Fear quickly spread over her body as she did this. Twilight jumped back as the entire ship was illuminated by a orange light that was coming from the rear of the ship, she stared as the sight of a facehugger wiggling in the back of the vent was now clear as day. The creature wiggled and then rushed down into the ventilation system. Twilight gasped as she looked to the light source, tears immediately came to her eyes as a large explosion that was clearly visible. It was Valuntas Station ripping apart, "White get to safety now there is a face" Twilight was sent flying off the ship as the shock wave smashed into her, the ambulance began to hurl in space for a long distance as Twilight was being swung like a rag doll on a rope connected to a ship, segments of the station were sent flying by her and they were on fire. White must have gained control of the ship as it leveled itself out bring twilight to a dead stop at a fully extended rope, she was dizzy as she looked around. Valuntas Station was falling apart as fire continued to pour out of it. Twilight was limp as she slowly began to try and relax herself.

"Twilight get inside!! That junk will rip you to shreds!! MOVE!!" White yelled in the radio and Twilight immediately moved to do so. The large pieces of the station were flying to Equestria smashing into the atmosphere lighting up in flames, the large segments were really close as they flew by. Twilight had to duck down to avoid some of them. She reached the entrance to make it back inside only to slip floating off. "Twilight!!"

"White! I can't make it!!" I can't do this!" Twilight looked around as fiery pieces of the ship continued to fly past her, soon the small fragments would hit and rip her apart. "I can't make it, White" White went quiet and turned on the ship.

"Yes you can! I will help you, you have to keep fighting" White screamed as the station pieces were getting uncomfortably close to the ship. "FIGHT!! Please Twilight..."

"White its pointless, I tired but I can't grasp it...I can't do this"

"Your scared, you have to fight your fear again. You can do this Twilight, please, you can do this I know you can!" Twilight slowly reached for the rope and she began to pull herself towards the ship. Valuntas was still experiencing several explosions causing Twilight to be knocked back to where she started, the station was no more as the final explosion went off. Twilight reached and quickly began to climb down the rope, "Come on, come on, COME ON!!" Twilight reached the door and grabbed the handle with her magic pulling on it too try and get it open.

"Its stuck!!! The door is stuck!!" Twilight teared up and continued to try and pull the door open as the final debris was on its way to wipe them out. Twilight continued to pull and White Lightning was now silent on the radio. Twilight tugged and pulled but the door was not moving anymore. Twilight began to tear up as she looked for another way in, the debris was coming in fast and there wasn't much time. "White, I am getting in! Don't worry, if I don't...just keep Scootaloo safe and get her home" Twilight pushed away from the door and used the rope to move back to the top of the ship. The fire light was getting brighter as the debris was getting closer to her. She began to climb to the vent entrance where she could hopefully get inside in time to get out of here, she felt like she could feel the heat coming from the station as she finally reached the vent access. A stallion body flies by followed by a small fragments of what was too hit soon. Twilight pulled herself in moving the slime out of the way as it collected on her mask. Pushing forward she could hear the vent metal buckling under her as it wasn't meant to have something crawling inside this access. she moved fast as the vent lit up from the fire . Falling through the vent Twilight's mask shatters and the glass smacks her face, she quickly pulled it off to get the glass off of her tossing the helmet aside. Twilight looked around and the ship began to shake from the debris. A loud crash was heard and the interior of the craft went dark. Twilight yelped and slowly began to make her way through the ship looking for a light, the only light was the one on the space helmet, she quickly picked it up and turned it on as she heard a facehugger rush across the floor behind her. Twilight looked around frantically, the little thing got in before she did. Twilight moved the light slowly looking around and came to a dead stop when she saw to small white hooves on the floor in a laying position.. Moving the light up more she saw blood and lots of it, moving it more she saw a gaping hole in the chest of a filly, it was Sweetie Belle. Twilight screamed as a snake like creature zoomed past her feet tripping her up knocking her out cold. The sound of the pilot door were heard opening and White and Scootaloo came out and then, silence.

The Rescue

View Online

The ships lights were flickering as the remaining Valuntas debris passed, Twilight and the rest lay in the same room unconscious from the tossing and turning of their ship. The dead body of Sweetie Belle lay in the corner with her chest ripped open by the chestburster's birth. As Twilight begins to wake she tries to focus at the center of the room. Something was laying there that wasn't pony. The alicorn pulled herself to her feet and noticed White Lightning and Scootaloo were laying in the room knocked out cold. As her vision cleared she jumped back away from the center of the room. Between the three ponies was the facehugger, it was dead on the floor. Motionless and no signs of injury Twilight was unsure why it was dead. Twilight rubbed the back of her head groaning, she hit her head hard after that little creature tripped her up.

"White, Scootaloo, get up! We have to get out of this room now!" Twilight stumbled as she attempted to walk over to her friends. Twilight fells on the floor before she could get to them, the ship began to make loud metal on metal screeches. The alicorn pulled herself back onto her hooves and the ship shook some more, Twilight rubbed it off as just more slow moving debris to comfort herself as she fell again next to Scootaloo. The filly showed no signs of waking up yet. The ship shook again and that's when the door to the outside started to spark on the crack where the door met the frame. Twilight pulled Scootaloo close to her body and covered her with a wing. The sparks reached the floor and stopped and then the door finally opened. At the door was a long tube connected to the ship and ponies were standing inside, one of them was holding a cutting tool and the rest were carrying weapons. Twilight's eyes widened and she used her magic while she was still out of sight to grab her gun that had been tossed on the floor during the commotion.

"Take a look around, take everything you can that could tell us what happened, NOW! Look for Twilight" one of the stallion spoke in a blank tone but it showed a slight hint of concern. "I wan to know what happened back there, I want to know everything" Twilight looked over and raised her gun slowly to point at the group of ponies who were clueless of her being right there. The room was darker and the lights flickering making it hard to notice where everything was. " She will be able to tell us everything" Twilight watched the ponies as they walked around the room and was surprised to see one of them starting to pick up the dead facehugger. Twilight let go of Scootaloo and shook her head as they put it in a large glass container.

"sir, what should we do with this thing? What is this thing is a better question" the stallion said to the pony in charge with a raised brow holding the glass jar. "It looks like a crab had some baby with a spider and the child had some major birth defects" As the stallion in charge was about to speak a small screech was heard in the corner of the room. Twilight got up slowly and looked over too see the chestburster attempting to climb up the wall but with no prevail. A pony walked over to it and jumped back waving a pony to come over and scoop it up in a container like they did with the facehugger.

"Over here! OVER HERE!! Come see this thing!" A pony came over and quickly came up carefully and delicately scooped it up into a glass container. The alien pushed against the wall of the glass hissing and trying to get out attempting to bite through the glass. Twilight got up and was immediately halted by a pony.

"No! Stop it! Let go of me that thing will kill us all" Twilight wiggled as she was being held there, the stallion in charge grew happy to see her and quickly walked up to her. He was wearing a mask which made it hard to identify him. "Let me go!"

"Twilight, calm down, we are here to help you! Calm down!!"

"Get off me!! Kill that thing now!" the two ponies walked passed as Twilight screamed at them. They carried the creature out of the ship and into their own. "No, you don't know what your doing!" The stallion shook his head and nodded soon afterwards. Twilight looked at him and the other ponies started waking up White and Scootaloo. White was out of it and was easily woken, the ponies picked up the still sleeping Scootaloo and brought her across the docking tube and into the other ship. "Stop it! Let her go!" Twilight shook herself free and the stallion ripped off his mask to reveal himself...but it wasn't a he at all. It sounded like one before but it wasn't one. It was a mare.

"Twilight stop!" the mare reached out and her voice caused Twilight to stop. She recognized her voice, it couldn't actually be though could it? Twilight turned around and it was who she thought it was. Coco Pammel, the mare smiled softly and no longer sounded bossy or angry with the mask off. It was kind Coco now. "Twilight, I am sorry I should have said it was me when I saw you but I was scared with all thats been going on. All I have been thinking about is my stations connections with Valuntas and now that Valuntas is gone its all I can think about" Coco sounded upset as she lowered her head, "We were talking a moment ago with you on the radio, that stallion voice you hear was me!" Coco smiled and looked up to the alicorn, Twilight had tears in her eyes and the two quickly found themselves in a tight hug, the thought of the alien they just brought over to the rescue vessel slipped Twilights mind while she was having this moment. White stood in the center of the room talking to one of the other ponies asking what was going on.

"Coco its so good to see a friendly face! I am so sorry I acted this way, I didn't know you were my rescue!" Twilight opened her wings and wrapped them around the small earthpony to embrace the hug more.

"Its alright, its funny really, when I heard you voice I almost broke into tears. It has been so long sense I have heard from you, that and knowing you came from Valuntas made me want to cry more after what happened" Coco stopped and rubbed her chin, "Whatever happened up there anyways" Twilight separated the hug and forced a smile not opening her mouth about what happened there, "The last thing we saw was the place rip apart...some ponies are even starting to think it was done intentionally but nopony can prove it. We can talk about that more later, right now we need to bring you to Fortwaid Station"
..........................................................................................................................................................................

Twilight leaned back in her seat as the rescue pod began its way to the station, the pod was much larger than the ambulance, Twilight looked out the window and quickly began to realize that everypony who had rescued them must really want to know about Valuntas because they were dragging the remains of the ambulance with them for testing. Twilight frowned and held Scootaloo on her lap as the filly remained asleep, as she thought about their destination the alicorn remembered her first conversation with Sunset when she arrived to Valuntas station. Her first question to Sunset was 'So how are the bunks here? I hear they are better than Fortwaid Station's.' Sunset quickly responded by letting Twilight know the difference between Valuntas and Fortwaid. Valuntas was a luxury station and Fortwaid wasn't

"White, have you been to Fortwaid before?" Twilight looked away from the window and to the stallion, White looked over and shook his head as a reply to her. "Well I have, I actually spent a night there before arriving at Valuntas....so heads up....your not going to sleep well at all the first night" White rolled his eyes and sighed hearing that. Coco was walking around the area thinking to herself about what could have happened, it seemed to be all she cared about. Twilight didn't mind of course, she wasn't surprised by the confusion that everypony was having. They would never understand it unless they knew the truth of the events that actually happened to Valuntas. Coco continued to talk into her radio as she paced.

"What do you mean it was an accident? A station does not blow up like that just because a couple stabilizers blow, you can't fool me on that one, sir" Coco placed a hoof on her face and nodded as somepony responded to her on the other end. "Sir, I am telling you that Fortwaid is getting down to the details on this! This explosion was intentional and caused not by blown fuses and stabilizers! A pony , a group of ponies, or a corporation of some kind did this" Twilight moved Scootaloo over to White so that the alicorn could stand up, Twilight slowly made her way over to Coco and smiled. " Yes, we do have three survivors....of course they are legit" Coco had her mask on so she sounded like the stallion again and a bit more pushy and bossy, "Come on do you believe that! That's the most stupid thing I have ever heard!" Coco shook her head and ended the call with these words, "We are arriving at Fortwaid with the cargo and evidence, over" Coco took of her mask and turned to Twilight, "Hello Twilight"

"Coco? Is everything alright? What was all that about?" Twilight raised a brow feeling a bit uncomfortable being talked about over the radio even if her name wasn't used. "Who were you talking too?" Twilight moved a bit closer and was shut out.

"Twilight no, I can't tell you anything that your not apart of. If you would like to help, you can start by explaining the events on Valuntas" Coco had been pushing this on her ever sense they left, Twilight denied to cooperate everytime.

"I can't Coco....not now....not yet" Twilight looked down and the ship came to a stop as it now connected to Fortwaid Station.

"Fair enough, when you decide to cooperate then you can know the things I am doing" coco turned away and quickly walked away. The ponies that worked for her walked by with the glass containters that contained items, one contained the rather still chestburster, the thing didn't appear to be growing. White stood by Twilight with Scootaloo on his back. They both looked concerned as the creature was brought aboard Fortwaid Station. White looked over too Twilight and narrowed his eyes at her.

"Please...Please tell me they know what they are doing! If they don't we are all dead, you know that right?" White stomped his hoof and Twilight shook her head, "Twilight, you need to stand up! Stop being so weak...I get your hurt but...sometimes you need to move that past you to get things done. If you don't say something, then I will" White walked away now boarding Fortwaid Station.

Fortwaid Station

The doctor removes the device from Twilight's neck and nods, Twilight looked at him angrily, he had a Weyland W on his chest and she didn't like it. The doc smiled and took a couple steps back before speaking to the alicorn.

"Everything seems fine, Sparkle, your stallion friend only had a couple strains and one fractured bone. Scootaloo banged her head really hard against a wall or maybe the floor which explains why she was out for so long and you....you seem alright to me" Twilight looked at him not speaking a word to him. She didn't trust him knowing where he came from. "Of course we will need to keep an eye on you for awhile to make sure everything is okay, that you remain stable" The doctor tapped a syringe and looked at her, "Funny , not very talkative are you?"

"No, I'm not...I don't like the company" Twilight grunted at him and he chuckled back at her reaction. "Whats so funny?"

"Why would there be a need to hate the company, we keep you safe , building a better..."

"World, yeah I have heard your shit before. If this is better, can I go back to the way things were please?" twilight said looking away from the doctor, he frowned and set down the needle, Twilight leaned away from him and grunted again really uncomfortable being around a Weyland Yutani. Being in this station didn't help her either, every thump or rattle it made caused her too jump out of her seat or where ever she was it would startle her. "Am I done here now? Can I go?" Twilight looked at him and forced a smile pretending to appreciate him in the slightest as to not make him feel his doctor skills were taken for granted or were poor.

"You can leave, I have a patient of high priority coming to the station. I am done with you" The doctor said picking the needle back up as Twilight left. "Have a good day, Twilight Sparkle, you are going to need one after what happened" the door sealed shut and Twilight looked back at it and growled kicking her hoof at it, she then stuck out her tongue and turned walking away.

"This is wonderful, can anything go right. This place is already bad but now there is a Weyland here, things just got that much more diffi...cult..." Twilight stopped seeing two ponies having a talk with two ponies who were also wearing Weyland uniforms. "You have got to be joking, this can't be happening" The two ponies were being questioned on something and Twilight tried to avoid them. Everypony here was a professional at something, so who knows what those two Weylands wanted. Fortwaid is not a passenger ship and if your a civilian you can only stay one night for a break at space flight, like Twilight did before going to Valuntas. Twilight managed to make her way past the two Weylands but managed to run right into Coco. Pammel fell on her flank and shook her head looking around to see Twilight.

"Twilight, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to run into you" Coco quickly got up and Twilight raised a brow looking at the mare. "Are you alright, Twilight?"

"No, your fine. I am the one who ran straight into you. Are you okay?" Twilight used her magic to help the mare back up onto her hooves, "Have you seen White and Scootaloo. I need to talk to them as soon as possible! Could you help me, Coco?" Twilight beamed a smile and waited eager to hear Pammel's response to the question.

"I'm sorry...I can't tell you that. I have not seen them sense we arrived to the station, Twilight"

The dead facehugger was laying on the surgery table and the chestburster was wiggling around in the glass container not far away. A couple of surgeons were standing around the facehugger with melted tools on their table. They were thinking and writing down details, The acid blood of the facehugger proving to be a pain in the dissection. One of the ponies takes off his medical mask and rolls his eyes, this stallions name was Gears. He was known to try and make things work, if there was a problem he would try and find a way around it. Tossing his tablet aside he began to shake his head completely lost on what too do.

"No, thats simply not going to work! Dammit I thought maybe a tougher metal would make this work! Clearly I was wrong, tell me, does anypony know what this thing is yet?" Gears looked at the lifeless creature and tapped his hoof and the ponies around him began to chat to themselves not knowing what to say on the thing. "What are you? How did you die little guy?" Gears then moved his attention to the baby Xenomorph in its small cell. "Also what are you? Where did you come from?" Gears opened the top of the container barely to move a scalpel inside. Slowly he pressed the blade on the head of the creature causing it to bleed slightly, the blood immediately began to melt away the scalpels blade. Pulling out quickly he looks once again at the facehugger and the chestburster, the chestburster had several small cuts on it from the tests with blood. "Are you related?" Gears stepped back and looked over to one of the mares and smiled. She took off her mask and smiled back, the mares name was Lily Grassland. She had a black cat resting its body on her back.

"Gears, any luck with the snake of yours? I can order more scalpels if you need" Lily giggled picking up one of the tools that were half melted from the blood that touched it.

"Lily its not a snake, it has some features of one but its not one. Oh and didn't I tell you too stop bringing that cat in here, we don't need his claws all over everything" Gears narrowed his eyes at the cat and then to lily. "Please remove the feline from the room, Lily" Lily giggled and shook her head at Gears.

"Sure, once you make me" Lily walked past and stuck her tongue out teasingly to make the stallion blush. Which he did, Gears smiled and walked after her, she was pretty to him and everypony else on the station. However she was his best friend here, he felt she needed to stay with him for protection unaware she could protect herself. "So any idea how this thing died? That and why does it matter?" Gears shook his head upset not knowing the answers to this one. Lily smiles again before wiping something off the stallions shoulder. "You seriously need to watch where you stand, especially in here because you got this nasty stuff all over you silly" Gears looked confused and looked at his shoulder and there was a clear substance resting there. "what is this stuff anyways?"

"I don't know...where...where did it come from" he wiped his hoof on it and it stretched, it was a sticky slime of some sort. Gears looked around and noticed some more resting on the floor where he was standing earlier. "What the hell?" Lily tilted her head as he walked over to the area where more slime was resting.

"What is it Gears?" Lily followed, the substance was laying on the ground and they both knelt down to get a better look at it. "What did you spill this stuff of some...." A drop of the slime dropped from above landing on the mares nose "Thing" They both looked up and from a small ventilation exit there was slime dripping from it Gears stood up and looked through the cracks as the substance continued to drip. "Gears?"

"What the hell?" Gears narrowed his eyes and some of the substance collected under his eyes, the fluid then stopped suddenly. Gears looked in the vent harder to get a look at what was going on he moved to adjust his sight and something could be seen resting , it was looking down at him as he looked at it, it began to raise its head. It was shinny and began to bare its teeth which were silver colored. Moving away he began to breath heavy. "STEP BACK! Something is up there" Everypony in the room looked over and Gears moved Lily away from under the vent. "Something is up there..."

Twilight walked with Coco talking about things she was comfortable with. Twilight, even though she wanted the entire world to know the truth of Weyland and the Xenomorphs she still couldn't find it in her to say it yet. Especially with all the Weyland troops walking around, they might shoot her on once she started talking. She hated them and Coco started to sense it as they walked.

"Allot of my friends didn't make it...the captain didn't make it...." Coco paused and interrupted and brought up the most confusing part of their first contact on the radio.

"You said something about an Alien...what was all that about?" Coco stopped walking and really wanted an answer on this, "What did you mean by alien? You couldn't mean another life could you because that makes you look crazy Twilight" Twilight stopped and looked at Coco, she did mean another life because that is what Gash was, an alien organism.

"I-I...Well...You see there is something...." Twilight stopped as two ponies in Weyland uniforms came running down the hall, the pulled out their weapons and pulled the slides back. "Oh no..."Twilights ears pinned back afraid they were coming for her, Pammel looked back and watched the troops come this way. They ran by talking to each other and they attempted to shut up as they passed Twilight.

"One of them is here" Twilight managed to make out that much of the conversation, unsure what they meant she cut off the conversation with Coco and walked behind them slowly. Coco Pammel frowned and followed not letting this information get away from her, she needed to hear from Twilight what was going on, what happend to Valuntas.

"Twilight wait!! I need to know! Come back!" Coco Pamel put on her mask and ran after the alicorn angry that she had left her behind. "TWI!!" The two troops rush into the room where the facehugger surgery was taking place and the door immediately sealed shut. Twilight slammed her body up against it and started to knock at it as Coco was almost there Twilight heard ponies talking.

"There is something up there, what are you doing!! STOP!!" a gunshot was fired followed by screaming and thumping, Twilight pressed her ear on the door trying to listen. Another gunshot was fired and followed by more screams and struggling sounds. Twilight stepped back and Gears ran out of the door as it unsealed, Lily close behind..there was blood on them. Twilight stepped back and began to shake her head from what she saw, the end of a long tail zoomed up into the vent as ponies rushed out of the room, the two Weylands were dead on the floor. More troops came up from behind halting the fleeing ponies and Coco stopped behind Twilight and took off her mask. Twilight turned around with fear in her eyes. Gears was fighting against the troops and Lily too but with no prevail. The troops didn't want panic and thats all Twilight wanted to do as she stared at Coco who was now shaking Twilight trying to get her to speak. Everyponies voice was muffled as she blocked it all out, Twilight didn't want to believe what she saw, it was a Xenomorph.

Stopping Panic

View Online

Twilight was pushing against the troops as they prevented her from leaving, they were looking around the blood painted room for the creature but with no prevail. The chestbursters prison was smashed on the floor from the commotion. Twilight was so angry she even attempted to bite one of the troops. Coco was talking tot he Weyland in charge to convince him to let her go, that she wasn't a harm but the more Twilight resisted the harder it became for Pammel to convince the troops.

"You did this!! You assholes, this is all your fault!" Twilight screamed at on of the troops flaring her wings as she pushed against them in resistance. "You can't stop this! You can't get it back!" Twilight looked around and the troops inside the room began to seal the door and the vent entrance making sure nothing could get through it. They were attempting to keep this a secret, again, hide it from everypony on station and they seemed to believe they were going to trap it by sealing the room up. Coco walked up as Twilight continued with her rant, as soon as the earthpony was behind Twilight the troops backed off.

"Twilight!! Calm down, everything is under control" the mare turned Twilight around with both hooves and then took the alicorns hooves over her own. "Whatever is going on is nothing we cannot handle, Fortwaid may be smaller but we know how to handle a situation" Twilight shook her head and pushed Coco away.

"You don't know what is going on! We are all standing on a ship doomed to be wiped out and these guys are the ones going to make sure nobody misses you when your gone!" Twilight stomped her hoof and backed away from her friend shaking her head. Twilight looked to the room before it was finally sealed shut. "That won't stop what is coming"

"Panic is something we must prevent in order to accomplish completion of getting rid of whatever did that" Coco walked forward standing her ground for her stations survival but Twilight would not budge. The guards stood still and watched as this all unfolded. "You can't go about this acting crazy if you wish for something to get done!"

"No...your wrong....you can't do this quietly, you can't do this calmly and expect to win" Twilight felt a hoof touch her shoulder, it was Lily, the Pegasus nodded and looked at Coco with a fear in her eyes.

"Coco, you don't understand...something REALLY bad is going on here, me and Gears saw what happened in there. It happened so fast and was over as quick as it started but it wasn't normal....we have to consider that Twilight is right. We could be in some serious trouble right now" Lily's wings drooped to the floor Twilight smiled happy to hear she wasn't alone in the matter. One of the troops stepped aside talking into his radio.

"Yes captain, you are welcome to come down and see now if you want" He looked over at Twilight and smiled, "Yes she is here too" The stallion was talking to himself so others could not hear him. Coco looked at Lily and now Gears who were now standing side by side with Twilight. White Lighting came running through the crowd almost being stopped by multiple guards on his way through, he stopped in front of Twilight unsure what was going on he looked around at all the Weyland.

"Twilight what is going on..." White said backing up, the Weylands stared at him and his Weyland uniform as they all questioned who he was now because of it. "Why are all these guys here?" Twilight looked at the door and giggled before looking at White with a unhappy look on her face.
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The generators were howling as they began to work harder, a maintenance pony was using his wrench too tune them down to prevent a meltdown. He found himself doing this often because of Fortwaids age. The generators that made the place run right were always trying to overwork themselves to explode, luckily he was here to fix them everytime. As he worked on the generators , another pony was in there with him holding the light for him so he could see. It was wet and hot in the room causing the pony holding the light to get tired and move the light around often.

"Will you hold that still, I am going to mess this up! The more you hold it still the less we have to stand in here okay?" The pony continued to hold the light wanting to get out of here as soon as possible, the generators were howling louder as they sat in the room making it very hard to hear anything but themselves after awhile. The light completely went out, tossing his wrench aside with a grunt the work pony turned around angrily, "I told you to hold that light STILL!" As soon as he turned around he fell down seeing the ponies light on the floor covered in slime, the pony nowhere to be seen. "Zilla!! Zilla this isn't funny, these things need work you need to get back here!" His eye became hazy as something fell on him, he wipes it off quickly to see a clear fluid sitting on his hoof. He raised a brow and then looked up when more began to fall on him. "What the" The moment he looked up he was face to face with it, it was Gash. "What the fuck!!" Gash reached down and grabbed the stallion pulling him up against the ceiling. He began to kick and scream as the alien slowly opened its mouth hissing and mouth shaking violently as it opened. "HELP!" Before he could continue to scream for help he fell to the ground with a hole in his head. Gash slowly lowered down to the floor and moved over to the body opening its mouth again the Xenomorph lets out a loud scream and the generators began to work harder again, without the stallion they would overheat. Gash hissed again and then a small Chestburster wiggled up to the corpses and hissed up at the large Xenomorph, Gash turned away and jumped back up into the rafters and left the little one alone with a meal to grow. Gash reached up and ripped down a ventilation vent and crawled inside to get moving through out the ship.

The chestburster crawled up to the face of the dead pony and shoved its head in the head wound created by Gash and crawled inside, the body of the pony began to shake as the small Alien began to crawl around inside the body eating what would satisfy its hunger, as the body shook, blood started to pool from the mouth and the head of the small alien burst out from the mouth and it let out a loud screech as it had finally got a meal to allow it to grow to an adult. At this moment Gash was rushing through the vents to go to the noise, it was attracted to noise.
................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Twilight slowly sat down and looked at the ponies seated around the table, Coco had her head on the table in shock of what she had heard. Twilight revealed what she knew, that what happened on Voluntas was because of an Alien called a Xenomorph. Coco didn't want to believe it was possible, that another life was the cause of so many other lives ending. Twilight looked at her with a frown as everypony was talking about how to resolve this, if this was an alien, how would they handle it? Twilight looked at White and White looked at her, should they tell them about Weyland?

"Listen everypony, we have got to stop arguing about this! We have the Weyland military on our side. If there is an alien like this alicorn says then we can handle it with them around, case closed" One of the ponies in charge of the ship said mostly directing it to the owner of the station, Coco. In the end it was up to her what would be done. Twilight stood up and shook her head in objection.

"Thats a stupid crutch to lean on, sir, I say you get everypony off of this station and leave the crutch behind to deal with it!" Twilight grunted after speaking. The stallion stared at her and slammed his hoof on the table.

"I have full trust in the Weyland Corp to protect us, we have no reason to evacuate this station, Twilight Sparkle"

"I say we should gas the vents! Thats where it ran too right!?" A mare from the other end of the table stood up and pointed out, the stallion who was in strong support of Weyland looked at her and laughed as he spoke.

"Poisoning ourselves with the gases as we flush the thing out? Your insane!" Coco looked up and stood up with a stern look on her face, she placed a hoof on her head before slamming it down on the table.

"IF THIS THING IS REAL!! Are we really arguing about science fiction? All of you sit down and stop using the word alien or creature, we don't know what we are dealing with" Pammel let out a long sigh as everypony including Twilight took a seat, this caused White to stand up and object to the mare.

"But me and Twilight do know!! We have seen this thing before dammit!!" White flared his fragile changeling wings in anger of being disbelieved. "When we say alien, we mean it Coco!!" Everypony went silent as a pony entered the room. She had a Weyland W on her chest, levitating a gun and slamming it down on the table. Whites eyes widened and he tapped Twilights shoulder to get her attention. The alicorn raised her Gaze and a large blush grew across her face and she stared in disbelief.

"Hello, Twilight Sparkle~!" It was Sunset Shimmer. The unicorn grinned at the alicorn and then looked around the room at everypony as she held up the gun once again and giggled to herself. "I am afraid to agree here but, Twilight and her friend are right, you don't know whats going on! Neither do they however, the only ponies here you need to trust is me and my team. We know how to handle your problem, they don't!" Sunset walked over to Coco and smiled and she smiled back, "What do you say captain?" Twilight looked at Coco and began to shake her head pleading for her to say no. Coco looked at Twilight, she trusted her friend but was unsure what was the right thing too do.

"I....I think...I" Coco shuddered and then stood up, "I order that Weyland troops take full control of the situations on my station!" Twilights ears pin back and she stared at Coco in more disbelief, "Twilight, White, leave this conference at once"

Helping the Enemy

"Twilight! Wait! Let me explain!" Sunset burst out of the conference room as they were both now out of sight of the rest of the Weyland troops the unicorn seemed to have flipped emotion coins acting all kind and cuddly, "Twilight!!" Sunset stopped and Twilight turned around drawing her pistol from her side pointing it at the Unicorn. Sunsets eyes widened and her ears pinned back as she saw Twilight pull the gun out. "Twilight...."

"How did you....How are you..." Twilight whipped her gun to the floor and stomped her hoof seeing the Unicorn again, "How are you alive!?" Twilight teared up remembering the stab wound that was dealt to her gut by the Unicorn. Twilight didn't keep eye contact with her not wanting to get soft or to fall for anything she had to say. "You died, I saw you die" Sunset moved a bit closer and smiled softly. "You hurt me...you tried to kill me Sunset! You lied to me, you killed my friends, you ruined my life!" Twilight growled and Sunset backed up now.

"Twilight, I only did what I thought was right. It is my duty to make sure Weyland never falls or that the truth never gets out. Could you imagine what would happen if everypony knew what you do?" Sunset tilted her head and levitated Twilights gun up placing it back in the alicorns holster. "They would never trust Weyland again, there would be constant panic and space travel would more than likely be banned! We need the materials and money that we get from space, we also need the Xenomorph" Sunset snapped the holster shut around the gun and tightened Twilights belt. "You don't know what your doing Twilight, your going to get yourself killed" Sunset narrowed her cyan eyes at Twilight and shook her head lightly. "I get you hate me because of the things I did at Valuntas but you need to listen to me, you need to get off this station right now!" Twilight looked at her gun and stepped forward standing her ground against her old friend.

"I am not going anywhere, I am a survivor of Valuntas and I will continue to survive here! I am not leaving til I know the creature is gone! If you don't like it Sunset that is too bad. I am staying even if it gets my flank thrown in a cell for the rest of my life. Coco may be a fool for trusting you but I am not, I know your true plan and intentions" Twilight looked around and noticed White Lightning walking over and he too looked unhappy to see Sunset as well, both he and Twilight had there reasons too, after all, they all trusted her back at Valuntas and she had no problem breaking it. Sunset watched White walk pass and stop , he now stood next to Twilight.

"Twilight, you don't understand...there are two Xenomorphs already on this station and if we don't find the chestburster before it feeds we will have a big mess on our hooves. We can't have ponies like you getting in the way" Sunset opened her saddlebag and quickly showed Twilight a picture of a facehugger. "There was one of these found dead on your ship, Twilight. I know this and so does the rest of the troops here. Our doctor has right to believe that Scootaloo has the spawn in her chest..." Twilights ears pin back and she unstraps her gun pulling it out.

"If you hurt her!!" Sunset moved forward and pushed the gun down.

"We aren't!! We can't without knowing for sure! We never got a chance to to a chest x-ray because Scootaloo was pulled out of the room before the doc could. Coco Pammel didn't see a reason for an x-ray for a concussion which is what we said she had in the report" Sunset smiled and took her hoof off the gun. "We can check again but we need to know where she is" Twilights ears pinned back again and she looked to White before looking back at Sunset. Sunset looked over and around noticing Scootaloo wasn't there. "Where is the filly?" Sunsets eyes narrowed and Twilight glared back at her shaking her head, "Where is she!!!" Twilight lowered her head and sniffled.

"I'm not telling you! Your going to hurt her and I won't allow you too do that now back off!!" Twilight stomped her hoof and glared at Sunset with hate in her eyes, Sunset attempted to speak and move towards her "Back off!!"

..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Scootaloo began to breath heavily as she stared at the dead pony, it had happened so fast, she was sitting with the family as she was waiting for Twilight and White. Then it happened, it came from the ventilation so quickly and grabbed a hold of the father..Scootaloo was scared as she stared at the body. She was sure that it knew she was in here still as she could hear it still moving around. She was wondering for awhile where Twilight was, unaware of the events that prevented Twilight from coming to get her. She stayed in the room with a kind family that offered her company as she waited and now they were laying dead on the floor. She wanted to run and leave but was afraid and quickly figured out that she couldn't as the feet of the creature walked right by the table she was hiding under. Its long tail slide across the floor lightly smacking the legs of the table as it walked by. Scootaloo managed to move back every time the tail was about to touch her as to not allow it to know she was under there. It was a Xenomorph and it was hissing loudly as it moved around the room looking for her and anypony else who was inside the room.

"Go away...go away....go away please" Scootaloo pleaded to herself wishing it would just leave, the blood from one of the bodies was slowly puddling and growing closer to her. The bottom of her hooves were becoming red as she laid there, the dead eyes of the father just stared at her and she wanted it too all stop. "Go away" then the creature reached up into the vent and climbed up into the vent of which it came from. Scootaloo waited for a couple minutes and then took a deep breath, it had been quiet for long enough and she was ready to go. Pushing herself out from under the table the filly rushes to the door pushing it open. Two ponies were about to enter as she burst out the door and they both screamed as they saw the blood on her and on the floor. She sprinted faster as when she heard the vent rumble, the Xenomorph slammed down from above and screamed and grabs one of the ponies by the head shoving its dagger tongue into his head. The other pony starts running and quickly passes Scootaloo.

"Run!!! Lock this hall down!! Hurry!!" The Xenomorph through the other pony to the ground and hissed, it was the chestburster who was now fully grown. As the other pony made it to the door he waved to Scootaloo to hurry. "Come on little one, move!! Quickly!!" Scootaloo rushed over to the pony but came to a dead stop as she noticed the shine of another dome head rising from behind the pony, "Come on don't be afraid" Scootaloo screamed and pointed behind him, the stallion turned and came face to face with the second Xenomorph, it was Gash. "RUN!!!!" he screamed and Gash quickly slammed its hand into the ponies throat and picked him up above the ground , "Go kid!! Over there!! NOW!" Scootaloo looked to where he pointed and saw a door and she started running to it with tears forming in her eyes. The stallion went limp as Gash shoved its dagger tongue through his head and slowly removed it. Scootaloo quickly pressed the button by the door and she heard the body of the stallion topple onto the floor and Gash hiss afterwards. The door slowly opened and she rushed inside smashing her hoof onto the button on the otherside to seal it shut. She backed up and smiled as she saw the door seal, she was away from them it seemed.

"Gash...you can't get me in here...even if you have a friend. I am safe from you and there is nothing you can do to get me" Scootaloo said and she kicked her hoof across the ground and smirked feeling less scared of the monster after managing to escape it with that ponies help. "Take that Gash!" Scootaloo smiled and closed her eyes taking deep breaths. Gash paced outside the room as if looking for a way inside but soon jumped up into the rafters being followed by the other Xenomorph. Soon after they left the area, Weyland troops stormed in holding their motion trackers.

"Move, look for survivors and lock down this area, NOW!!" Scootaloo quickly moved back and moved to hide under a table once again, she would always be scared of them. She stared at the vent Gash jumped into wondering where the creature went, or if it had even left the room. "I've got movement, its coming from over there!" The stallion pointed to the door that Scootaloo was behind. "Lets move!" Scootaloo shook her head as the ponies headed over to the door. As they were about to open the door up they stopped. "Wait...I am picking up something else, its right over" they rushed out of the door after it loading their weapons, "Confirmed Xenomorph signature, move!!"
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Fine, just follow me then if your not going to help me find her. Don't do anything stupid either" Sunset had finally given up as she came to a stop, she and Twilight were talking for awhile as they walked down the hall. "There are several issues we need to fix before we can get rid of our main problem, me and my team will work on finding the chestburster before it can grow while you two work on the simple tasks" Sunset turned to White Lightning and grinned. "You will be in charge of keeping ponies out of the lab....we don't need panic from the workers, Twilight...you are going down to the generator room to shut them down" Twilight raised a brow and tilted her head in confusion of why.

"Wait, why would we need to shut them down, we will be putting the ship into darkness" Twilight tilted her head more and began to tap her hoof, "That and why do you expect me to listen to you?" Sunset smiled softly and levitated a large lever to her, it was the lever she was going to use to shut down the generators.

"You can listen to me or be sent out into space on your asses, which do you prefer? We need to shut them down temporarily to let them cooldown. The repair stallion is suspected to have fled the ship or in a worst case scenario, got himself caught by our grown Xenomorph that you saw leave the lab" Sunset coughed and Twilight took the lever with her magic, "So there is no way of fixing them today, they need constant maintenance and we currently can't do the daily part so we are going to shut them down to give them time cool off. Time is short so move fast" Twilight frowned and nodded knowing she didn't have a choice if she wanted to stay here she needed to help the Weyland Corp. "Get moving, I have my own mission to do. Come back to the conference room when your finished. Take a motion tracker with you" White tapped his hoof and slowly moved over to Sunset.

"You don't have to be so bossy...I know your still with Weyland but...there has to be more too you than the mare I stabbed back at Valuntas" Sunset pulled out a gun and pointed at him after he mention that. "Or maybe not...your still pissed about that obviously" Sunset nodded and put her gun away. "I'll get to the lab then" White walked off and Twilight looked to Sunset and Sunset looked back and their eyes locked briefly.

"I'll go to the generators then" Twilight turned around and was ready to leave but Sunset stopped her and turned her around now looking into the eyes of the unicorn again.

"Be careful, Twilight, we will end this...you will see soon enough that Weyland always protects those who follow them. You might find your place working with us" Sunset smiled and turned Twilight lightly nudging her in the right path, "Go on now" Twilight frowned and slowly started walking with the lever next to her, " Oh and don't worry, when we scan Scootaloo's chest and find the Xeno in the x-ray...I will make sure she isn't hurting anymore" Sunset turned and left. "Good luck"

Weyland Lies

"Well your clear just as we suspected, White, we thought we might as well scan your chest cavity while your here. Thank you troops for finally finding little Scootaloo too. Now we can get the show on the road, prepare for next scan, this time for the filly" Sunset smiles and slowly hands White his chest scan which shows a regular chest cavity. "Congrats, its your lucky day, I can't say the same for Scootaloo though" Sunset giggled and walked over to the radio to check on everypony who was still currently doing their tasks. This included Twilight who was finally on her way too the generator and would be there in a matter of second. "Everypony report in, what is your status" Twilight stopped looking down and shaking her head. She let out a long sigh and couldn't believe she was helping Weyland, especially after what they did.

"This is Twilight, reporting in, I am about to enter the generator rooms, over" Twilight pressed her hooves on the door and pushed it open. Steam came flowing out from the heat that was being made by the generators and the alicorn couldn't help but wonder if she was too late. Stepping inside the room was filled with smoke and steam. "Things aren't looking so good here" As Twilight was pushing forward, Sunset was prepping Scootaloo for her scan. "I'm going to try and do this as quick as I can.....dammit...." Twilight lowered her head to keep the smoke out of her eyes

"Just keep moving, the station is seal limiting the movement of the Xenomorphs, you'll be fine especially if you pull that lever. Okay?" Twilight nodded to herself hearing Sunsets voice, she was hoping she was right but had a huge doubt that she was safe down here. Twilight pulled out her motion tracker and pushed forward, she saw nothing, the walls were thick so there were no signs of the motion that the ponies were making above her as they worked. So she knew if something popped up on the screen it would be down there with her. Twilight moved slowly and she began to hear the generators roaring as they worked, the sound was like freight trains running at full speed along the tracks and they seemed like they were about to derail. Sunset shimmer slowly lifted Scootaloo onto the table under the scan. "Now lay still and this will all be over soon okay?" Scootaloo looked at Sunset and frowned still not having been told what this was for and she was still terrified of Sunset Shimmer. "Lets begin shall we? Begin the scan, this should only take a couple minutes." Sunset punched the button and the scan began. White looked at Scootaloo and frowned, he was afraid to see them correct, that Scootaloo was infected with the Xenomorph spawn.

Twilight levitated the lever up placing it in the activation slot too turn it off, this was the first of four and she pulled her hardest to turn it off. It was hard, it was like these emergency shut off slots hadn't been used in years. They were rusted and a pain to use, Twilight pulled the lever out and fell to the ground as it finally gave. Falling onto her back the alicorn began to grown , she slowly pushed herself up to move onto the next generator, thankfully they were placed side by side otherwise she was unsure she could do it and even with that she felt it was slim. the first generator came to a stop and all lights turned off as it finally shut down, the other three were still roaring and continued to get louder. The second generator had an open panel and tools laying in front of it as if it was being worked on earlier, a flashlight not far illuminated the area while it laid on the floor.

"Oh come on...just make this easy, please! I should have just left the damn ship and called it a day" Twilight grunted and slammed the lever into the slot of the second generator and thats when Coco started talking in her ear.

"Twilight, Twilight are you there...please come in, Twilight" Twilight stopped with the lever and quickly answered hearing her voice.

"Coco!? Coco how are you on this"

"Twilight, no time to explain! I heard you were sent down to the generators! Get out of there right now!" Coco seemed frantic as she spoke, something was very wrong and Twilight tossed the lever down to the ground.

"Coco, what is going on! Slow down and speak!"

"Twilight, don't shut down the generators, we will be left in the dark and everything down there will open up!" Twilight stopped and began to pace back and fourth as the generators began to speed up.

"But they are going to die, the generators are overworking themselves! We need to shut them down" Twilight was sure that was the truth because it sounded like it would be, without them this place would not run, turning them off and then back on might save them. Coco spoke louder and slammed her hoof down on the table.

"Twilight, you were right. There is something on this ship and its down there with you! Twilight if you don't get out of there your going to die!" Coco screamed and then pounding was heard coming from where Coco was, "Twilight I over heard the Weyland troops, they managed to lock down the ventilation, the creature...it only has one place to be, with you! RUN!!" the door burst down and Coco Pammels voice went dark. Twilights eyes widened as the generators began to howl, she was sent down here to never return, that was the plan. Twilight growled and threw the lever down and ran, she was out of ideas. Her stress levels peaked as her motion tracker began to beep on her side.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!!! God dammit not again! I fell for her again!! UGH!!" Twilight took a turn and the generators began to rattle in the room, shaking they began to buckle off their mounts that kept them on the floor. Twilight opened her wings in attempt to fly her way through the tight hallway and then the generators gave way exploding, the shockwave picked the alicorn up and slammed her face first into a wall. The walls around her were smoking as the papers and boxes caught fire. The lights around her went black and flickered as the emergency lights turned on, the ship was going dark. Twilight's gun came flying out of its holster as she hit, her head began to pound along with her chest and a loud screech could be barely heard from above and around. Twilight began to bleed from the nose as she pushed herself up, all she could think about was how she fell for Sunsets tricks, again. Twilight looked down at the floor as the blood started dripping from her mouth, her hearing was extremely muffled and all she could feel was the pain. The ship walls were creaking from the explosion, light were flickering all around her as the motion tracker rested on the floor. Twilight looked over to her pistol and slowly levitated the gun up to her chest as she pushed herself up onto her hooves. The taste of iron in her mouth was overwhelming as the blood continued to gather there. Pushing her gun into its holster the alicorn uses her levitation spell to raise the motion tracker up to her face. The screen was blank, no movement, nothing. Twilight tried to smile but the pain in her chest was extreme and was all she could really focus on, except of course the motion tracker. She began to walk forward to exit the room as the fire inside began to spread, red lights flickered all around her until she excited, once she did the motion tracker began to beep a dot revealed itself on the screen and Twilight froze in place pulling out her gun.

"I'm Sorry!!!" Twilight screamed louder and Gash's mouth opened as wide as it could revealing the dagger tongue that rested inside and a louder hiss escaped the creatures mouth. Twilight pulled the trigger with a click that soon followed. Twilight shook lightly as the gun did not fire. She was hoping she would die by her own will, not like this. Gash hissed lightly but was not killing her, the Xenomorphs tail raised up into the air and smacked the gun out of her magical grip quickly and the alien hissed louder. Twilight opened her eyes and looked at the dome as it reflected the flames that were coming from behind her. Spit dripped from the Xenomorphs mouth and the creature slowly turned away as its dagger tongue flew out of its mouth but not at her, it just did it randomly before returning back into her mouth. Twilight placed a hoof on her chest and the tears continued to fall as she watched Gash jump back up into the vents."W-what......"
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Sunset screamed and pushed White deeper into the lab, the stallion kept falling down with every push. The mare was angry and pushed him down again as he tried to get up, he screamed as his head slammed down against the back of a desk. Sunset tossed her gun to the floor and walked over to the table using her magic to grab something, White rubbed his head and flinched when suddenly a dead facehugger slapped him in the face and Sunset got down to look him in the eye, he was hurting as she huffed out angry breaths.

"What do you see here!! What do you see!!?" Sunset moved the large facehugger in front of Whites face again and he looked at it, the facehugger was big and its legs had some type of webbing on it. "what is this WHITE!!"

"Its a facehugger...what else could it be" Sunset slammed it on the floor and then levitated her gun up smacking him in the face with the barrel, "OW!!! What the fuck!!" the sound of his nose breaking could be heard by anypony in the room and he held it tightly and she picked the creature up again, "What do you want, I answered your stupid question" Sunset smiled and shook her head.

"What...is...this....white? Hmmm, do you realize this was the little shit who was on your little ambulance craft? Hmmm?" Sunset groaned and tossed it, "Thats not just any facehugger, White!! That is a Royal Facehugger!!"Sunset quickly got up and used her magic to push the desk over that White was leaning on causing him to smack his head on the ground, "Now tell me, White, What do you see here" Sunset raised a sheet of clear paper that showed and empty chest cavity.

"A scan of someponies chest....w-why?"

"That is what we saw when we scanned your chest, it was empty as it should be....thats not the problem WHITE!!" Sunset raised another paper that showed another chest cavity. "This is Scootaloo's chest scan, what do you see dammit!! What do you see!!!" White looked and to his surprise he saw nothing, it was a normal chest scan. "What do you see dammit!!! WHAT DO YOU SEE!" Whites eyes widened knowing one thing, if the Royal Chestburster wasn't inside him, or Scootaloo, that means. Sunset smiled and slowly nodded, "Twilight" The vent above the lab began to rumble and Sunset got up, her men quickly took out their weapons and looked around. "I hear something.....i hear something" White looked over to Sunsets gun knowing what they would do when they got their hooves on Twilight. He waited for the right moment and tried his best to not seem obvious. He quickly got up and ran as a long tail swung down from the ceiling slamming into one of the soldiers chests, the blood sprayed all over the floor. The rest of the troops began to open fire, the bullets slammed into the body of their fellow soldier and a couple smacking into the Xenomorph that was responsible for the killing. Sunset looked for her gun turning to see White running out the door with it. "Hey!!"

"Open fire!!!" One of the stallions screams and the body of the dead member was tosses aside slamming into two of the other soldiers. Gash burst down from the ventilation grabbing the remaining soldier from behind shoving his tail up his rear and out his mouth before quickly ripping it out. The other Xenmorph jumped down and walked over to the downed stallion grabbing them both, with a scream the alien picks them up raising its tail and slammed it into the heads of the soldiers from the side. Gash slowly turned and ran out of the room slamming into some other ponies and by instinct Gash used its dagger tongue to quickly deal with them. Red lights in the area began to flash and Sunset quickly tried to lock down the area but Gash was running for her, quickly she stepped away from the panel and ran. Gash stopped lunging at another pony who was closer. Sunset quickly went to her radio and ordered a lockdown.

"Lockdown the ship, nopony leaves! Lock it down!"

"What Have I done...Twilight I messed up" Twilight leaned against the wall as she sat down looking at Coco as she began to pace around the room, she understood her reasoning for what she did and didn't blame here. Pommel had the biggest look of disappointment in her eyes as she looked to the monitor. The ship needed to be locked down , ponies were dieing left and right and there wasn't a sign of it easing up. "Twilight what do I do! What do I do now!" Coco quickly turned and ripped off her mask, it appeared no matter what she did she couldn't stop herself from being scared. Twilight smiled and slowly pulled herself up, with one wing over her chest Twilight now stood over next to her friend.

"I know you can figure it out, Coco, your strong! You know what has to be done, look into your heart...not your head" The radio was buzzing with ponies calling in for help but they all ended with that ponies death, "Lock down the station, Coco" Twilight looked at the monitor and nodded, "lock it down" Coco looked to the panel and shook her head unsure. Lily Grassland who was also there stood up and stomped over to coco pointing at the screen.

"Twilight has been right so far, she was right about the creature, she was also right about Weyland not being able to help, its clear we have no other choice but to lock this station down, Pommel" Lily snorted in anger and took a couple steps back, "Our troops were not ready for an Alien race, Coco! They have never dealt with such a thing before" Twilight frowned and lowered her head moving forward once again and spoke softly.

"No....they were plenty ready for an alien race. They have done it before" Both Lily and Coco quickly looked at Twilight and the alicorn took out her gun and set it on the table along with her motion tracker. "They were on Valuntas, so was the alien. Weyland Corp has been doing this for month, heck maybe even years. They knew this thing existed and they never told us! I know because they told me back at Valuntas when they were trying to capture it! To use...as....a weapon" Twilight moved over to the panel and moved Coco out of the way. "Gash....Gash is what Scootaloo named one of the aliens for a large cut it gained on the top of its head is what Weyland calls a Xenomorph, a Xenomorph is the alien you are dealing with and they tricked you into letting them take control not to help you....but to trap the creature to use for their own financial gain" Lily raised a hoof as if asking to be picked on to speak.

"Your telling me....they lied to us, do they lie about everything?" Lily had a tear in her eye and sniffled, Lily was shaking, "One of my family members works for Weyland Yuntani, would they lie to me?" Twilight nodded in response to her question.

"If it involved a Xenomorph, absolutely, family or not they all follow the same rule...leave no witnesses. Thats why if they captured the alien, we would all be dead afterwards" Twilight stepped away from the panel and looked at Coco, "Please, lock it down" Pommel walked up and placed her hooves on the table ready to perform the lockdown.

"That can't be true, could it be?" the earthpony said as she waited to lock down the station.

"No, she pretty much summed it up"Sunset Shimmer walked in and slammed a shotgun down on the table and she had blood on her chest and arms. It was clear it wasn't her own, White stepped in not too long afterwards with his head down, "Anything else you wanna tell everypony about us Twilight?" Sunset Shimmer smirked and four other troops stepped in with loaded weapons. "Say it now" Twilight stepped back into a corner with fear in her eyes as the Weyland troops all looked at her.

"We can get in anywhere, Twilight, after all we built the technology this place uses" Sunset moved out of the way allowing White Lightning to move over to Twilight. He quickly hugged her, he was happy she was okay. "Twilight...your in danger" Twilight moved White out of the way as soon as Sunset spoke. "There isn't much time"

"What are you talking about, we are all in danger with every second Gash"

"Your pregnant, with an alien...Twilight..." Sunset said quickly, Twilight stopped and her eyes widened as her eyes moved to look down at her own chest. Everypony but White quickly stepped back and Lily had a gross look on her face.

"Ewww, are you saying Twilight" Sunset quickly bumped the back of the female Pegasus's head and let out a long sigh, Lily growled and looked back at the unicorn, she was serious its not like she knew how things worked. "I was just asking dammit"

"Twilight, the facehugger got you. Not Scootaloo, your carrying a Xenomorph but its not just any alien, its the mother of them" Sunset walked over to placing a hand on Twilight. "Your carrying what we call the Queen, she will grow inside of you until" Sunset moved her hoof away from Twilights chest to reperesent the painful process of a chestburst. "After she grows to an adult she will grow to make lots of eggs, those eggs carry chestbursters and you know well enough what happens when there are lots of those running around. Twilight you need to stay calme, we can help you out of this okay? This is why we are here now" Twilight looked to her gun that she set on the table nearby and quickly rushed to go get it.

"I'll help myself" Twilight levitated the gun up and spun the cylinder and then pressed it to the side of her head, Sunset eyes widened and her ears lay back against the back of her head. "Stay away, I don't need your help I can do it myself!" Twilight was scared of the thought of having the Queen inside her body, now that she knew it was there she felt like she could feel it bumping around inside her, growing. Twilight stared into Sunsets eyes and Sunset looked to White, White knew what to do but waited. "Go away...I'm so sorry...I am a danger to you all. I will end it" Twilight closed her eyes and stress built inside causing her heart to ache. As she did Gash and the other Xenomorph slammed down from above now staring into the window, they both began to pace around knowing there was no way in. Gash had spit dripping from his mouth as his lips began to shake in anger at the Queen inside Twilight getting stressed from the Alicorns stress.

"White now!!" White quickly used his magic to pull the gun away and Sunset ran up grabbing Twilight bringing the now crying Alicorn into a cradle up against her, "Twilight we are going to help you, hun, please its going to be okay" Gash slammed his head against the glass snarling and letting out loud screeches. Coco looked up and over to the creature with a raised brow. Gash hissed and stepped back trying to find a way inside.

"What is it doing?" Coco pointed to the Xenomorph and then looked to the Weyland forces, One of the stallions coughs and clears his throat seeing no reason to be secretive at this moment anymore.

"The Xenomorphs are trying to protect the Queen, your friend is under stress which puts stress on the Queen. They can sense that and want to illuminate the cause of the stress. Everypony in the room" Sunset was still holding Twilight and continued to speak to her.

"Come with us, we will help you, White saw that we mean good...we brought Scootaloo to a safe place. Let us bring you all there too, Twilight slowly opened her eyes and looked up to Sunset, "You won't get hurt, the Xenomorphs are not going to hurt you or the ones around you if you are stress free" White moved close to Twilight liking the sounds of that, he nodded to the alicorn in assurance that Sunset was telling the truth. As they were all at agreements however, the rest of the troops were not. Coco was quickly thrown to the ground and little pushed up against the wall as the rest of the armed troops readied their weapons aiming them directly at Twilight. Sunset got up and moved back away from the alicorn and the troops got ready to do their jobs.

Sunset the Good Girl

Twilight got up quickly and backed up against the wall as the troops that were armed moved towards her aiming their weapons. Twilight shook her head, the mare who was going to end her own life now didn't want to die. Not like this anyways, Twilight raised her hooves hopeing maybe they would lay down their weapons. Sunset stepped behind them and looked at her friend, she saw the fear, this was her friend, she wasn't just some pony but she was the pony that was always there for her. Sunset lowered her head realizing it now, realizing that Twilight had always been there. There wasn't a time that Twilight didn't want to help her, after all Twilight came all the way to space just for Susnet, to fix they're friendship. The troops were finally ready and one of them aimed at the head of the alicorn. Gash paced outside hissing louder and quickly the Xenomorph jumped up into the vent, the other Xenomorph remained outside the room pacing back and fourth.

"Please...d-don't I never wanted to hurt anypony. Think about this, I thought you were all going to help me" Twilight closed her eyes and her ear twitched as she heard the click of a shotgun. Sunsets eye twitched and she walked up lifting the now loaded shotgun to the back of the first soldiers head and pulled the trigger. With a loud bang the ponies head exploded. The rest of the troops quickly turned to stop her but she twirled the gun and slammed the but into one of the ponies heads and then she pulled the pump. White pushed one of the troops off of him and Lily did the same, Coco managed to do the same and White disarmed one of the soldiers quickly knocking him out. Twilight opened her eyes and began to hyper ventilate at the fight that had just occurred. "What...what just happened, Sunset!?" Sunset quickly pulled Twilight onto her hooves and Coco typed in the code to unlock the door.

"Lets go!! Now Twilight move!!" Coco smiled and rushed out the door, "We don't have much time!" Sunset nodded and looked into Twilights eyes and the alicorn looked back.

"S-Sunset?" Twilight looked at her surprised at what she just did.

"Your more important than Weyland Yutani...they were a bunch of assholes anyways" White rushed out the door, followed by Lily Grassland. "Lets go Twilight, lets get you out of here" Twilight blushed and slowly moved close to Sunset Shimmer and too the unicorns surprise the Alicorns lips press against hers in a kiss. Sunset blushed and returned it, Coco looked back and smiled. As the two slowly separate the kiss Twilight nodded ready to move.

"Lets go"
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

White slammed the back of the gun into the head of the patrolling troop before waving his hoof to let the rest know it was safe to move. Lily nodded and looked to White as if saying, nice one bro. Coco was leading the rest because she would be the one to get them out of any locked doors or help them when they got lost. Twilight was calm and the ship was rumbling, she was doing everything in her power to not get stressed out. Sunset held the shotgun close as they pressed on through the ship, bodies were on the floor. Lots of ponies were dead from only a couple seconds of the Xenomorphs being free from the generator room. The station was smaller than most, it never stood a chance at the very beginning this station was doomed to fall. Coco placed a hoof over her muzzle holding back tears it seemed, she didn't cry but instead pushed forward until they reached yet another locked door. They all sighed and groaned, at this rate they would never make it to evacuation in time.

"God dammit!! Now what!" White tossed his gun to the floor and pressed his head against the wall as Coco worked on the door, "We aren't going to make it are we?" White closed his eyes and Twilight frowned looking at her friends, all of them needed to be safe and off the station. She wanted to make sure of it. Twilight smiled for a moment and went to Coco, who was under lots of stress trying to a valued member.

"Thank you Coco, for everything, I just wanted you to know that. Thank you" Twilight placed her hoof on Coco and smiled warmly in hopes to boost the mares confidence, "We are all going to get out of here, your station will never be forgotten either. After all you were the one who lead the way" Twilight hugged her quickly to let her get back to work on the door. Lily was looking up at the ceiling she was listening for movement as they all were sitting ducks right now. Even with Twilight around she felt they still could fall victim to Gash and friend. The door finally opens and Coco quickly steps inside and the rest follow, White waited and let out a long sigh picking up his gun, still thinking this was a huge waste of time. "Lets go everypony" Twilight moved slow as her chest felt lighter as they walked.

"Twilight, I want to apologies for everything that happened. How I tried to kill you, how i betrayed you as a friend, I know you may never want to be my friend again but....maybe you could consider?" Sunset quickly rushed to walk side by side with Twilight and smiled hoping the alicorn would respond kindly to her request. "What do you say? Friends?" Twilight kept walking and looked over at the unicorn and smiled.

"Maybe in time, I need to think about that before anything Sunset" Twilight moved faster to catch up with the group. Every time she got caught in a conversation she would fall behind. "I can't say for sure right now" Twilight smiles and stops as another door blocked the path to evacuation. Twilight turned to Sunset and giggled, "Listen, I know you are serious when you say you are sorry. I was really hurt by everything you did and I am still going through allot now because of this thing inside me. There is allot on my mind but I am sure in time I will be able to answer that question...Okay?" The door opened and immediately as it did a gun shot was fired. "COCO!!!" Twilight looked to see Coco Pommel fall to the ground. A large group of Weyland troops stood in their way. The room was large and the Evacuation station was not far.

"LAY DOWN YOU WEAPONS!!! NOW!!" One of the troops screamed, they were out gunned and outnumbered. Twilight rushed to Coco as the rest of the group did as asked laying down their weapons. Twilight shook her head kneeling down by Coco.

"No, no, no, no, Coco.....I'm so sorry" Twilight closed her eyes and a tear fell. She had just got done telling her how much she mattered and she cared for her. "Coco no!!" Twilight opened her eyes when a hoof touched her cheek, it was coco. The soft eyes of the mare had water resting in them and Coco slowly began to shake through out her body, "Coco...."

"Its okay Twilight...heh....its okay" Coco said softly as the life was clearly leaving her but thats when Twilight noticed something about Coco, her blood, it wasn't that of a pony. "I-its going to be okay, Twilight, don't cry for me" Coco was an android. Twilight wiped her eyes and shook her head in disagreement.

"No, Coco its not okay. Please don't go...we need you...I need you!" Coco smiled and a bit of white blood formed under her lip and she looked up into the alicorns eyes one last time and spoke softly keeping her hoof on Twilights cheek.

"Thank you Twilight, I'm not real but I want to thank you" Coco smiled and the tears in everyponies eyes quickly began to fall from their faces as she spoke. "I want to thank you for making me feel real, Twilight" Twilights lip began to tremble as those words were spoken, "thank you for making me forget what I was" Coco Pommels head went limp and her body started to stiffen as her circuits and wires froze up. Coco was dead. Twilight began to shake and she laid her face against the robotic ponies chest and cried, the troops narrowed in on the defenseless group and raised their weapons. Twilight continued to cry as they moved in closer.

"Back away from the android!!" one of the troops yelled, Twilight moved back as the tears continued to roll down her cheek, "Move now!! Faster!!" Twilight looked down and fell to her knees, Sunset quickly rushed to her for support. "Hey!!! Did I say you could" The soldier cocked his weapon and aimed and he quickly froze looking up, the vent shook and rattled. Twilight looked to the troops as the rest started to approach. "Wait....stop!!" Gash slammed down from above landing on all fours, his head was down and spit was dripping fast. Gash rose and looked at the troops letting out a loud scream. "FUCK!!!"

Queen Twilight Sparkle

Twilights eyes widened as the Xenomorph came down from above, Gash hissed and the troops slowly backed up getting ready for it to make a move. Sunset Shimmer and the rest were just as surprised to see Gash there so quickly. The Xenomorph then lunged smashing itself into the large group knocking them down. White quickly grabbed his gun again and started firing at the troops. Gash swung its tail managing to slam it into one of the guards hips and then used that guard as a ram swinging him at a smaller group of soldiers knocking them down. The troop began to bleed on the floor and Gash didn't let up, picking up one of the soldiers slamming the dagger like tongue into his head now receiving some bullets in the back as the fight now began. Twilight got up and ran for the exit door but was quickly stopped as some more troops burst from there. Gash jumped up into the vent and then traveled quickly to get behind the new troops. White loaded his weapon and looked to Twilight.

"Run!! Get down" Gash slammed down from above and wrapped his tail around one of the ponies neck shattering the bones as the tail quickly constricts them snapping the life out of the troop. Gash quickly jumped onto a wall and then down landing on one of the ponies this one was a mare and she was quickly overwhelmed by the alien and soon had a tail sliding up her rear. The soldiers around her began to fire upon Gash managing to knock him down. Gash screamed and wiggled on the floor in pain but soon the alien got back up and attacked again. "Shit out of ammo, Sunset help me out would you" Sunset looked around and nodded heading over to one of the fallen enemies weapons.

"I'm on my way White!!" Sunset screamed and Gash continued working on protecting the queen, which currently was Twilight Sparkle. The normally stealthy animal was now in the open still managing to take down the ponies that were trying to kill Twilight and her friends. Twilight followed Sunset staying close for protection as the Unicorn began to help White giving him some rounds and firing at the enemy. "This was not on my agenda!" Gash hissed and lunged at the troops again as they continued to shoot at it, allot of the rounds were off but a couple hit the body and chest of the alien. Gash reached out and picked to of the troops up but was knocked down from the other troops. Sunset looked over and gasped. "Awww fuck, fire at them, let Gash get back up" White looked over at the fallen Xenomorph and rolled his eyes, never did he think he would be fighting with the creature. Of course this was only possible because of Twilights pregnancy. White and Sunset shimmer quickly open fire, Lily Grassland picked up a weapon and rushed to help not sure how a gun even worked. Lily aimed down the sites and pulled the trigger the bullet slammed into Gash instead of the troops, the alien got up and looked at her with a loud scream. The troops then loaded their weapons and fired again getting the Xenomorph attention. "watch your fire dammit!"

"I'm sorry, never used one of these before. It won't happen again!" Gash ripped his tail out of the troop and bit the back of the head of another at a very fast pace being so many troops there was little time for Gash to perform slowly deadly kills.

"Shoot it!! SHOOOT IT!" One of the troops screamed and was quickly shushed as Gash placed his hand over the ponies move having got behind the troop. Gash hissed shoving his long tail up into the chest of the pony then letting him go letting gravity rip him off the tail. The troops were shooting at the time, most of the bullets only hit the pony Gash was killing. Gash jumped up and onto the ceiling quickly jumping back down smashing itself into the troops again. Twilight and the rest began to make their way to the other end of the room to get out of here while Gash continued fighting, White and Sunset continued to fire at the troops. White got allot of body shots, Sunset hit the heads every time she pulled the trigger. Lily got excited and quickly ran for the door, Twilight reached out to stop her and missed. Lily made it to the door coming face to face with the second Xenomorph who seemed to be waiting their the whole time. Lily screamed and the Xenomorph grabbed her by the head. The mare kicked and screamed as she was picked up. Twilight screamed at the alien hoping it would let her go.

"No! Lily!! NOOOO! Let her GO!" Lily cried as the tears fell from her face, the aliens lips shook and the mouth slowly opened. Lily's body shook in fear as she was dangling above ground now that she was face to face with it. The xenomorph hissed and the tail rammed up into her back and she screamed in pain as the blood ran down her hind legs as they shook, "NO!" The Xenomorph let her go and quickly jumped up into the vent. Lily shakily stood up and looked to her new friend holding her hoof out to them. Twilight quickly ran to go get her, the tears rested in lily's eyes as she spoke holding her hoof out still.

"H-Help m-m-me" She was then picked up by the shoulders and pulled up into the vent with one last scream before blood began to drip from the vent. Twilight fell to her knees and Gash rushed by as a troop was about to grab her, Gash snarled and shoved the dagger tongue twice into the face of the attacker.

The Xenomorph screamed as the remaining troops began to back off. The alien looked to them and the spit that was now mixed with acid blood dripped from the mouth. Gash walked slowly their way as the bullets stop, they were running away it seemed. Gash rushed after one of them and grabbed them quickly turning them around. The Xenomorph stared down at the mare and pressed its lips onto her forehead letting the blood spit mix fall melting the ponies face away. She screamed loudly and her body convulsed until she went limp and Gash threw her down. Twilight looked at the creature as the troops were gone, he slowly moved to a vent and had plenty of bullet holes in the side area. Gash growled and reached up for the vent, Twilight smiled, the xenomorph inside her made her connect with Gash on a different level. As the creature was about to leave a loud gun went of and Gash fell in mid jump to the vent.

"NO!!!" Twilight jumped up and was stopped by White and Sunset Shimmer, "Gash!" Twilight screamed and White looked around for where it came from. The Xenomorph growled getting back up and another bullet slammed into the chest of the alien and Gash screamed up looking up to the ceiling and the escape he could make but was unable to reach. Gash fell to the ground as another bullet slammed into him,Twilight reached out and Gash started to crawl across the floor slowly as the acid blood started to badly pour from the body. Twilight teared up feeling sad seeing the creature in pain. Gash reached out to the group of ponies as if asking for their help , another round went off and White began to freak out.

"Where is it coming from dammit!!" Gash screamed and the creatures dome head smacked the ground from the bullet smacking the back of the creature. "Son of a bitch what the fuck!" Gash reached and stopped moving, Twilight pushed her friend off of her and ran out to the Alien, Gash was breathing slowly and laid there motionless in the body. The tail of the creature began to curl up close to the chest.Twilight stopped falling to the ground moving over to him laying her head on his dome. White stepped out and pointed up in the rafters.

"there he is, sniper rifle!" White then looked and started to shoot, the soldier ran off quickly leaving the weapon behind. Twilight began to cry on the aliens head, her tears looked like shiny diamonds as they rested on the beautiful dome of Gash. Gash was alive but not for much longer, Sunset stayed back allowing Twilight to be close to it, Gash wasn't going to hurt her. Twilight was the Queen in the aliens brain right now and thats why the Xenomorph fell to this point, to protect her a great creature must die. Gash seemed to pure from the ponies head resting on his. Twilight looked at his neck and noticed a scare that was a line of three circles, she moved her hoof along his dome and across the gash mark that was all dry , no longer leaking acid blood so Twilight wouldn't get hurt as she pet Gash.

"Your a good boy, thank you..." Gash hissed and the tail moved closer to him as the jaw of the creature finally went limp and the spit finally stopped dripping from it. Gash...was dead. Twilight was slowly pulled off the Xenomorph and Sunset Shimmer brought her into a hug, they had lost so much and now their main protection was dead. One alien down, Twilight couldn't help but cry about it. Gash had flipped the coin when she had the Queen in her, from wanting nothing more than her blood on the floor too being her guard. Twilight looked at the dead alien and reached out to him, White coughed and tossed his gun to the ground.

"Lets get out of here...we are running out of time. Come on" Twilight nodded and stared at Gash as they all began to leave, the large creature that took on an entire station was gone, fell to Weyland Yutani. Twilight started to think about the marks on the creatures neck and looked to Sunset Shimmer.

"Where did Gash come from, Sunset?" Twilight said softly and Sunset looked over and frowned, it was time, time for her to know everything. The evacuation wasn't far and she knew there was enough time to tell her. "Tell me...please"

Gash the Xenomorph

Twilight looked to the floor and let out a long sigh before looking up at her friends with a smile, the evacuation station was almost in their grasp, however, one thing needed to be known before anything else. Twilight moved her eyes to look at Sunset Shimmer, it was just revealed she knew the whole story and now they were going too as well. It had been a long day and they might as well know where Gash came from now that he was dead.

"Alright, if your all ready. I can begin" Sunset sighed and took out her gun looking into the metal reflection of herself, "Gash..., Xeno-RAPT97, was a test" Sunset started with that. " Nopony knows where it originally came from but we have our stories of the threat" Sunset glared over for a brief moment. "It was because of Gash that we were aware of the Xenomorphs. We received a signal but couldn't locate the source from what I remember" Sunset stood up and began to pace as she spoke. Twilight and White listened intently, I guess everypony needed a good story.

"Why did they hope it was Xenomorphs?" Twilight asked quickly, she immediately thought it was because Weyland was a cruel team that just really wanted money and the weapon. She wanted to make sure before moving forward.

"Well up to this point, Weyland was having a huge drop in confidence. Every call was just a broken engine or someponys ship ran out of fuel. Xenomorphs began to be like a myth and were nearly forgotten by most troops. Once they arrived to the stress call they found the ship was so small and it was probably just another one of those calls. Until they got inside and the crew had something, something special" Sunset smiled and rubbed her hooves together remembering how when she heard this story the stallion who told it was so happy about this part. "They handed over a creature they had found in the vent. It was a facehugger, it would be the one to plant Xenomorph 97xex, or Gash as we know him now" White stood up and yawned with a nods as the story continued.

"So they were handed over a facehugger in hopes they had better use for it?" White coughed and shook his head, "Yeah of course a common civilian would hand over a unidentified bug to a higher force, go on" Sunset narrowed her eyes and smiled again when she looked over too Twilight, too keep her happy.

"Gash was brought to Equestria for further testing but that was just for planting, we needed to get somepony that nopony would miss for Gash to grow inside" Sunset giggled and that giggle then turned into a stress filled groan. "Apparently they found that pony laying around next to some garbage cans on the side of the road. She was alone and clearly homeless" Sunset cleared her throat and continued. "After the facehugger was placed on this mares face the crew quickly transported the mare to the space station, the station was for Weyland Yutani only and it was the perfect station too keep a Xenomorph. The bursting however came before they arrived, luckily for them they were able to catch the chestburster before it could eat the kitty they had on board and grow. Containing the specimen they brought it to station.They kept it a chestburster as long as they could, they knew that a full grown Xeno was trouble" Twilight frowned and Sunset stared at her before addressing the alicorn. "You remember those marks you saw on his neck? Those were from the station, not Valuntas or Fortwaid but the one he was sent too to grow up" Twilight looked up and her eyes widened.

"What were they from?" Twilight asked quickly and stood up walking over now face to face with Sunset, "How did Gash get those markings!?" Twilight swished her tail and narrowed her eyes. She seemed angry, Sunset frowned and stopped talking, Twilight wasn't doing good.

"Can this wait! Twilight we need to get you off this station! The Queen is getting to your head, your feeling feelings you don't need to feel, lets get off this station now...." twilight shook her head and placed her hoof on the chest of the alicorn pressing down hard. "Twilight....please, this story can wait for another time. Your well being is more important than a story of a creature, a monster, its an alien Twilight" Twilight removed her hoof and her ears pinned back and she now looked really sad.

"Please just finish the story...I need to know how Gash got on Valuntas Station"

"Twilight we need to go!" Sunset quickly shot words back not wanting to waste any more time, every second they stood around talking to one another was another second the creature inside Twilight could grow.

"PLEASE!!!" Twilight stomped her hoof and stared into Sunset eyes in hopes eye contact would persuade Sunset. "Please?"

"Okay fine! I will make this quick okay!?" sunset then continued after making a angry grunt from her gut. "Gash had a series of injections to see if poisons could kill a Xenomorph. They all failed, they used the injection areas to do multiple test like electric shock being shot into the neck from there. Everything to see if they could die easier than a million bullets into the body. Nothing worked but fire and loud noises got it going. Scared of fire, like every animal, who would have guessed. AT this time Gash was a full grown Drone Xenomorph" Twilight raised a brow and Sunset picked up on it. "It is a loyal servant for the Queen, but essentially represents the lowliest class of Xenomorph, comparable to a worker ant. Drones construct Xenomorph Hives, using a resin-like secretion that they produce, and collect hosts for impregnation. Drones are easily identified by their smooth head carapaces, among the smoothest of all Xenomorphs" Twilight was about to open her mouth to speak but was stopped. "Yes, there are more kinds of Xenomorphs but all we need to know is Gash, Gash was a drone. Drones are relatively bigger than most Xenomorphs besides the Queen making it more brute and is capable of taking out an entire crew all on its own because of its size" Sunset cleared her throat again and looked to her last remaining friends, "It wasn't an accident, they thought they had it under control. They were going to ship Gash back to Equestria as a weapon against Griffins but they needed to make a stop first...for fuel.....Valuntas Station. IT was there that a mistake was made that allowed Gash to escape, quickly killing the passengers of the small Weyland Craft Gash broke out and the ship, that wasn't docked drifted off. Xenomorphs are incredible and are able to move about in space in order to make it to an area of live to kill. Gash wasn't far and managed to latch onto the outside of Valuntas Station and is believed to have broken in through and outside ventilation entrance, or maybe even an airlock while a worker was exiting. That part is unclear...." Sunset sniffled and shook a tear off her face. "Gash, Xenomorph 97xex was suppose to be tested on how well it could kill and even if Weyland didn't get what they wanted on Equestria, Valuntas supplied them with all they need and thats why they showed up to capture Gash...Which is why they wont stop til they have one again" Twilight leaned in and a tear fell as she finally knew, she finally knew the truth, "twilight, I'm sorry..."

Twilights eyes widened and her body shot back as a loud crunch came from her chest, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!!" Twilight fell to the ground and began to scream, the Queen was getting close to ready, they needed to move....they needed to move now. "HELP ME!!!"

Twilight MIA

Twilight fell to the ground and held her chest, the pain was unbearable. The alicorns eyes were hazy from all the tears that now collected in her eyes. Was this how it ended ? Was she destined to give birth to a Queen, to cause the end? Twilight reached up and both White and Sunset pulled the alicorn up onto her hooves. The ship was falling apart now. The generators no longer active did more than turn off the power, this small station couldn't function in anyway without them. Twilight continued to rush down the hall holding her chest the pain just continued to get worse. White picked up a lead pipe and shoved it into the very seal of a closed door to use it as a lever to pry open the door. As he did Twilight looked up and focused, during these final hours they all found that Twilight could sense where the remaining Xenomorph was when it was close by. Twilight didn't like it, she felt like a freak and a freak she never wanted to be.

"It's close...be careful White" Twilight said softly with a crying voice as the Queen inside continued to get antsy and rubbed its head on the inside of Twilights ribs. "Its very close..." Twilight sniffled and Sunset stayed close for comfort.

"Its alright Twilight, don't cry, we are going to get you out of here no matter what" Sunset pulled Twilight into a hug and kissed her cheek. "We are almost there, there is nothing to worry about." Twilight looked up into sunsets eyes and quickly her tears fall as she was truly afraid of dieing .

"Sunset! I'm going to die!" Twilight felt a light tap on the cheek as Sunset lightly slapped her. "SUNSET!!"

"You stop that right now! We are getting you out of here and you are not going to die!" White finally pulled the door open and they all heard the second Xenomorph hiss, Twilight was pulled to a stand and they all started moving, "You are going to make it out of here, start a new life, see your friends again, I promise you!" Twilight sniffled and nodded hoping it was true, that she would have all those things again. Maybe more. White was cautious, ever sense the Queen in Twilight started getting ready too burst the Xeno had been very feisty and a couple times attempted to kill Sunset and White in order to let the Queen break free. "Lets go" Twilight nodded and looked around the room, the station was worse here. The walls that were once a metallic chrome Grey where now mostly red.

"I don't like this....why is the Xenomorph not coming down like before...we are just walking around ready to die. How much further!" Twilight stopped and closed her eyes and focused. "The thing is here...but it wont do anything" Opening her eyes she stomps a hoof, "What!! You waiting till I have hope!" Twilight looked to a vent entrance and stared at it. "Why are you waiting!!" Sunset pulled twilight away and around.

"Twilight, stop it!! Stop talking to it, stop with this, stop and focus on whats important!!" Twilight pulled away and stared at Sunset. "Twilight!"

"What like you!! Focus on whats important?" Twilight looked down and White watched as the two mares talked, he just wanted off of here like everypony else. Twilight sniffled again ready to cry but stopped as sunset placed a hoof under Twilights chin and raised her gaze to meet hers.

"I am focusing on whats important to me....you" Sunset said slowly and softly she kissed Twilight, "I am focusing on you, Twilight" White rolled his eyes and thought about his dead marefriend Silverstar, he was still very broken from that and it caused him to think negatively still about Sunset Shimmer. They had to push forward if they were to get out of here.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Twilight...your special...your the most wonderful, kind, best friend I could have ever asked for. Ever sense you arrived to Valuntas Station you just touched the hearts of everypony you met. You changed ponies, you help overs and you care. I have never seen something like that before in such an extreme matter. Thats why you are going to get out of here....okay" Sunset spoke softly and looked over to the alicorn with a soft glare, "The Evac is just beyond this door...your going to be just fine" Sunset quickly hugged the mare and Twilight cringed as she was hugged. Twilights chest was soar as shit and every touch felt like a nail in the heart.

"Okay Sunset...I finally believe you...lets open this stupid door" Twilight stopped and looked around, "Do it carefully, its near again" White quickly slammed the pipe into the door and pried at it until it opened, Twilight eyes began to water at the sight. Ponies!! Alive!!! Scootaloo was there too. "Scootaloo!" Scootaloo jumped up and saw Twilight and tears formed in the fillies eyes as she quickly broke into a sprint towards Twilight. Twilight quickly pushed into the room and Sunset and White both fell to their knees. Twilight was about to reach the filly when everything disappeared before her eyes. Fire was in the room and there was only one ship left in the station hanger. Bodies were on the ground, what Twilight saw was only what she wanted to see. "Scootaloo!! NO!!! WHAT!?" Twilight stopped and fell to the ground crying. The evac was full of death and bodies and little signs besides missing ships that anypony survived "NO!!!!" Sunset cried and dropped her gun, White shook his head at the sight, everypony was dead and they were alive once...they didn't make it.

"No...N-no...no lets move....that ship has to work" White ran to it and quickly fell over himself and began to cry for once, "N-n-no....we can get o-out" White slammed his hoof onto the ground and cried. "No....." Twilight sniffled and her ear twitch, the xenomorph was close. The ship that was left had Weyland W's all over it, it belonged to the company.

"We can do this....we can" Twilight got up but quickly fell as a loud crunch came from her chest, "AHHHHHH~!!!!" The xenomorph slammed down from the vent and hissed. Sunset scurried to a stand and backed up.

"Oh fuck!!! Twilight get up!!" The creature ran across the floor and jumped into the air and landed ontop of the already down White Lightning, "White NO!!!!!" The stallion began to kick and scream trying to break free as the creature raised its tail to impale him. Sunset quickly broke into a sprint stopping the creature by grabbing it by the tail, Twilight continued to scream as the Queen was scraping up against the ribcage. "Get off!! Sunset managed to pull the creature off of White. The creature turned its attention to Sunset, Twilight forced herself up and looked at the creature, the pain in her chest was unbearable and extreame, the alicorn levitated a long sharp pipe up into the air and the Xenomorph grabbed onto Sunset lifting her up as it opened its mouth.

"NO!!!!!" Twilight who was looked at as a Queen by the creature slammed the sharp pipe down into the creatures head before falling over. The Xenomorph yelps and hissed in pain as it too fell over reaching for Twilight as if she was suppose to help. Sunset ran too Twilight and helped her up as the rib cage pushed outward on her and she screamed in pain.

"White, get in the ship and start it up...we can save here if you turn that ship on!!! NOWWW!!"

"Alright alright, if you say so boss" White rushed into the ship, he knew how to fly this one. Sunset pulled Twilight into the ship and pushed her up onto what seemed to be a bed. "Wait, what are you doing Sunset!" Sunset stopped and looked down crying, Twilight was now laying in a cryotube. "Your going to freeze her!! Are you insane!!" White pushed Sunset out of the way and Sunset pushed back.

"Its all we can do, if she sleeps, the Queen will too, we can freeze them both!!" Sunset looked to Twilight and placed a hoof on her forehead, "I love you so much, Twilight! I have to do this!"

"No you don't there has to be another way!!" White screamed and stomped a hoof. Twilight reached up and nodded.

"Do it....." they both stopped and looked at her, "Put me too sleep....do it....if it will work, I want you too do it" Twilight coughed and a bit of blood formed under her lips, "Do it now..." Twilight blushed and she teared up, "I love you too... "Twilight reached over and pressed a red button and glass came down over her sealing her in, she mouthed the words to her friends again, "I love you too" Time passed and Twilight was asleep and the Queen didn't show signs of busting out, Sunset and White both looked at each other as they sat in the cockpit ready for take off, Twilight was asleep and would remain at piece as she rested....

But what happens when our little Queen

Wakes up?

Twilight's eyes shoot open and she began to gasp for air, the alicorn quickly moved her hoof over her chest and let out a loud scream in pain. Rolling to the right she falls onto her belly and cries as the pain increased, the room was dark and the walls were thumping and the ship appeared to not be moving anymore.

"Help!!! HELP ME!!!" Twilight reaches out to the nothing that lay in front of her...the tears in her eyes roll from her face and to the floor. Twilight let her hoof fall knowing no pony would grab it and pull her out of this. Never before did she feel so alone. "H-Help m-m-me.....please" Twilight slowly lowered her head to the cold metal and the pain in her chest started to ease up. She was awake now so that must mean the queen was too and things appeared to be picking back up where they left off. "I'm sorry...I did wrong...I have made mistakes" Twilights nose pressed against the floor and the tears puddled around it. "I have killed....stolen...and lied" Twilight began to cry as she spoke no longer able to hold back her tear filled please for the wrong she did back at Valuntas, even if it was survival, it was still wrong. "Please! Please don't let me die...not like this....I still have so much to live for" Twilight stopped and quickly sat up as the pain returned, "NO! Please....don't do this..." she fell back as it came back once again, her wings laying flat against the ground and blood starting to leak from her nose Twilight was unable to speak as she stared up at the ceiling. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!! FUCK!" Twilight screamed and reached her hoof up to the ceiling.

"Go!! Move! We are running out of time!" A voice shouted as light now burst into the area, ponies came rushing in and Twilight didn't move, she couldn't. "Take her to isolation, if everything fails the creature will have nowhere to go, move now!" Twilight sniffled blood and tears as she lay still screaming and crying. The pain made all her mussels tighten as she screamed, Twilight felt many ponies place their hooves on her and she was lifted into the air. Twilight cried more and harder as she was moved. "Careful....careful....now!"

"NO! Owww!! AHHHHHH!!!" Twilight screamed again as she was practically tossed into the grip of some ponies magic and she was cradled in like a child she was then walked into the light. She used all her strength to look to see who they were, who was cradling her?

"Bring her to Isolation" the same voice said again and she could feel them quickly take a corner as she was being carried, it had to be a unicorn right, to use magic? Twilight used her strength to look, it was....it wasn't a unicorn at all. "Move!! Now!!" Seeing who it was made Twilight smile, even with all the pain she was experiencing. The pain was practically covered up with joy at who was carrying her, Twilight managed to force something out.

"Thank you....."Twilight said softly before the pain finally caused her to black out.
