The Prologue

"For us! For Equestria!" Celestia said as she rose from her seat finally after all these days giving in. "I agree and will see this through" The crowd at that moment began to cheer. Cadence and Moon Dusts came up too Sunset Shimmer and the others giving hugs. They were a bit late but Seegson Security had them busy today. Getting off the stage Sunset looked over too Moon and smiled. Coco was behind them and gave a small wave to Sunset just so she knew that the android was still around and okay.

"I am glad you both made it off but I also wish we were celebrating this moment with....Twilight" Sunset sniffled lowering her head. Cadence giggled and nodded knowing the pain but tried her best to cover that up with a smile. "Her words still ring in my head to this day. She would be happy too see we did it" Moon placed a hoof on the unicorns cheek and smiled.

"I did not know her well but the times that I was around her..she gave me a bit of hope. She had so much pride and that pride rubbed off on us all" She then took a quick sip of some whiskey that she had on her still the same mare she was on the station. "Today I drink for Twilight! Rest now you brave Alicorn! Rest now~" Moon then waddled off and took another sip of her drink. "Too Twilie~!"

"Ignore her if her hyperactive attitude grows on you. She has been drinking I believe sense she woke up, I wonder sometimes if she brushes her teeth with it" Cadences placed one wing over Sunset and smiled. "You know...I sometimes think I can feel her. Feel her near...I am sure she misses being here with you as much as you miss being there for her. Everything is going to be okay, Sunset" Will then busted out from the celebrating crowd with tears.

"Can you see this, we did it! We did it! Oh Twilight would have loved too see this" The Minotaur wiped his eyes and for the first time ever he seemed a bit broken. "Oh I miss her.." Everypony was now celebrating for the fall of Weyland as Celestia officially signed her name on the petition for the termination of the company. Most were there for that and a few were actually there for her, the one that made it possible to take them down, Twilight Sparkle. Sunset quickly got into a hug with Iron Will, they both were locked in tight embracing each other in the hug.

"What...." Sunset closed her eyes as she saw something but once she opened her eyes to see it again it was gone. She saw a mare in the distance it seemed. She was wearing a hood and the visible parts of her body were a light shade of purple. Now however she was gone. "Twilight?" The unicorn broke out and looked around but there was nothing now. Will placed his hand on her shoulder and rose a brow in question.

"Sunset...are you okay?"

Wake Up

The overwhelming feeling of intense heat consumed her body as she fell through the separating pieces of the space station. She could hear the voices screaming out her name as the flames grabbed her body, yanking her down deeper and deeper into the wreckage. A loud painful scream ripped from the back of her throat as she opened her eyes, the flames were no longer pulling her and the burning sensation was gone. Opening her eyes and screaming louder the alicorn gasped as if the room was lacking air. Eye's dashing to look around the room she noticed she was alone,there was only one name she could think about screaming now.

"White Lightning!! Weyland!!! No, No, No!!!" Twilight Sparkle pushed herself off a cold table as she realized that she was still alive. If she was still alive, then surely that meant that White would be alive as well. She closed her eyes and tears would push out from the corners, they would run streams down the sides of her face. Has she failed? Even after all the stupid effort she put into ending the Weyland Yutani Corp. "This ... can NOT be happening to me!! He needs to die, why can't this whole thing just be OVER!!" using the feathers of her wings as tissues she would wiper her muzzle clean of her sadness. She thought back to the screams that filled the halls of Valuntas Station, the blood that soaked Fortwaid, and the friendship that broke at Wey-U. The tears began to flow faster now as her memories of her friendship with White Lightning began to flood her mind. The memory that was sticking in her head the strongest, was when the stallion saved her life from Gash. Twilight could remember it all like it was yesterday, it was then when their friendship started.

"Are you alright!? That thing was about to kill you!! If we hadn't shown up just now ... you would be dead meat" The stallion grinned and made his way to one of the ventilation access points in the wall, he would press the button and the opening door would make loud metal grinding sounds. Twilight smiled and looked over to Scootaloo the filly had a incredible amount of fear in her eyes as she turned to look away from Twilight Sparkle. The filly was blaming herself for this horrible encounter with that beast

"We were so close but when I got infected with this evil." Twilight's words were choked as her sadness only grew stronger with every memory. She looked into the mirror, the only one in this small sealed room and noticed the green in her eyes still remained. The only thing left of the Xenomorph Queen of Wey-U Station. "So where am I now!! What else do you want from me Weyland Yutani!!" The alicorn looked up at the ceiling flaring her wings in intense anger. She was certain at this point that she was locked up by the company, was the company this desperate for a weapon? Desperate enough to miraculously capture her like this? The door too the room swung open and Twilight found herself immediately rushed by two stallions.

The stallion began to yell, fear and anger was the tone of voice as the two stallions began to restrain the alicorn. "Grab her! We cannot continue to waste time like this" The two ponies were not wearing Weyland Uniforms but Twilight was still sure that the company had to be behind this whole situation. They both were able to quickly restrain and pull Twilight out of the room. They knew that the alicorn would not be strong enough to take them both on at once, especially after just waking up. Starting to tug her down the hall, Twilight was able to focus on her surroundings while being tugged through what appeared to be a hallway. The two stallions had name tags on their chests and Twilight was able to see them well enough to read, Rahzzy Dazzle and RumHam.
..........................................................................................................................................................................
"What are you planning to do with me!? Nothing you have done before has worked!!" Twilight yelped out as the two stallions let her go pushing her forward through a door. "I am tired of being treated this way by the company!!" Twilight felt a hoof rest on her back from behind.

"We are not the company, Twilight~" It was a mare's voice, a very calm one. Twilight hesitantly turned around to face whoever it was that was now behind her. "Weyland Yutani Corporation died a long time ago. We are nothing like them" The mare was wearing a black uniform, her fur color was white, a bright green tail with a mane that didn't match. Her mane color was a dull purple with yellow fluffs above her forehead. Two things about the mare made her very mysterious, no cutie mark and eyes pink with two rainbow bands shooting out from the center of her pupil out. "I am sure you are very confused. On everything and where you are"

"Not Weyland? Then who are you!? How did you find me if your not Weyland Yutani?" Twilight took a couple steps back and narrowed her eyes in disbelief. They had to be faking it, not telling the truth for sure. "Better yet, how am I even here? I should be dead!" She let out a angered huff of hot air and backed away more. The room went silent for a short period of time, everypony just looking at each other wondering what would happen next. The mysterious mare stepped forward and leaned forward holding out a hoof in friendship.

"I'm Mistilie Flare, I am not Weyland Yutani" Mistilie spoke in a very soft, calm, and focused tone. The mare seemed to have no problem staying polite and kind. "Twilight Sparkle, you have had a very rough ride. We are aware of the troubles you faced when the company was in charge"

"Stop! I don't believe this! If I am still alive, then Weyland is still alive!" Twilight stomped her hoof in denial, Mistilie would respond quickly to that.

"You think your special enough to be the end of the company? It took a lot of paperwork and lawsuits signed by larger alicorns than yourself to finally bring them down, Miss Sparkle" Mistilie moved forward shaking a hoof in anger. The kind voice was still present, despite how angry she appeared to be. "If you wish to know where you are and what has happened while you were ... at rest. Then you are going to except my hoof, follow me, and let me show you!" Twilight watched as Mistilie reached out again offering her hoof.

"We can leave it is done, he will die here Twilight" Sunset reached out and Twilight refused shaking her head. Using her magic she moved Sunset Shimmer away.

"I said go! Shadow is too dangerous to live but also deserves vengeance for being created and I will bring it too him when I kill his creator! I need you too go!" Twilight looked over and the hybrid was now free limbering up before looking at Twilight. "Don't worry, I've got this!"

The Encomi Corp

View Online

Mistilie pulls Twilight up into a straighter posture, Twilight's hoof would rest on the unicorn's in acceptance of the offer to be shown where she was and what for. In a very quick response to the acceptance, Mistilie points to the wall with her other hoof at a logo. The logo read Encomi Corp, that logo became apparently important as Twilight notices it was posted on the back of every computer, stamped on every uniform, and engraved as a symbol on one of the walls in the room.

"Welcome to Encomi Corporation Headquarters!" Mistilie spoke in a tone that was full of moral boosting energy. continuing on she began to explain herself. "I am the leader of the company, we are here to fix, clean, and exterminate what is left of a crumbled company, Weyland Yutani" Twilight looked away removing her hoof from the unicorns upon hearing the name of the company that ruined her life, Weyland. "One of the things they damage during their control ... was you Twilight" Mistilie, using her magic to levitate a small mirror up and pointing towards Twilight so that the alicorn could see. The mirror was clearly focusing on the vibrant green irises that had replaced Twilight's natural eye color.

With anger in her voice, Twilight shot back a quick and questioning response to seeing her Alien eyes. "So what!? Do you know all the evil that company has done to the world? To me and all of my friendships!" With flaring wings the alicorn took a step forward, leaning in to press her snout on the tip of Mistilie's. "Most of those friendships that are no longer living because the ponies are dead!"

"What happened in the past is tragic" Mistilie was trying and bring peace with words but Twilight quickly stopped that from happening. Leaving the unicorn no room to finish speaking.

Tragic!? Ponies died! That company dug into something that should have NEVER been tampered with and it caused three space stations and all the life on them to stop completely! Tragic?" closing her wings and giving Mistilie room to breath, tears were visible on her face now as she remembered all the horrible events that have already happened. She also began to fear of what new tragic events will happen with this new corporation. "No! What happened is not a tragedy, it was an act that is just unbelievable that I can't give it a label. Weyland Yutani was evil, EVIL!!" The other ponies in the room all turned to Twilight at this point. The guards that were stationed around the room the whole time would step in to attempt to move the focus of the workers to be back to work. One of the many guards there was the red-coated stallion from before. "I refuse to believe you know it all because if you knew, then you would have been smart and killed me instead of keeping me alive! I chose to die! I NEEDED TO DIE!!" Mistilie's expression shifted from a smile to a very nervous mixture of a smile and a frown when Twilight continued her rant. Everypony in the room was looking and the guards were now failing to move the attention elsewhere. "I needed to make sure he would di ..." Twilight was then cut off as Mistilie placed a hoof over to cover the next set of words. Being pulled out of the room before having time to react Twilight would now be out of sound and sight of the workers.

"I know what happened to you but you can't be screaming of death and terror around my workers! Not all of them are aware of what we are trying to fight because if they all knew, how many of them from your experience, how many of them would still be working here?" Mistilie's smile returned. "We have made great progress in cleaning this house of horror that Weyland left for us. We will never get it clean if all the staff are scared or unsure if they are safe"

"Are they safe though ... ?" Twilight immediately cut off Mistilie on that statement. She hasn't felt safe anywhere sense Valuntas Station. Her question goes unanswered making this situation tenser than it needs to be. "Who are you Mistilie ... you can't ensure the safety of them or me. What is this damn corporation you are running here?"

Mistilie who was now silent for a moment after being confronted on this. It was obvious to Twilight that there may never be true safety for her anywhere anymore. Not with all she knows and has seen but she would wait patiently now for Mistilie to answer her question. In any possible way was better than no response at all.

"Let me show you ... this is a far too hectic start for my liking, I had hoped we could take this slowly, show you everything there was to know over time. I see now though there will be no organization with you unless I am straightforward, so for me, I shall show you what it is you need to know"
..................................................................................................................................................................................................

A couple of pictures of White Lightning rested on the fireplace with a layer of dust collecting on the glass that contained the photos. Twilight currently fixed her eyes at them with studying eyes and a smile, seeing the smiling face of White Lightning made her smile as she remembers when they were friends. She truly has a belief that the stallion was once a true friend, they had to have been at some point. He couldn't have had evil intentions the whole time, could he? The photographs showed the stallion and most of his achievements as leader of Weyland Yutani Corp. Mistilie would be explaining all of this as Twilight was studying all that was being said about the photos.

"These were all taken before he went dark ... before he hid his identity from the world. White had many dreams for the company and the world, however, after the war between Pony and Griffon began all his dreams were overshadowed with war" Mistilie sat down next to Twilight for a more comfortable position while she spoke. "These photos are of all he achieved before that" Twilight began to study them closer, one of the photos contains an image White Lightning and Mistilie. "One of his greatest achievements was me ... well, that is what he told me when I was old enough to understand" Twilight's eyes widened hearing this. Turning to look at Mistilie she the answer that is resting at the tip of the alicorns mouth is answered "Father wasn't always a bad pony"

"He was ... Dad ... You're Dad?" Twilight looks back to the photo's and she began to realize she is seeing a whole knew stallion. She didn't see the evil Weyland Leader. She could see a father ... one she killed. A tear rolls down the side of her face and onto the dusty glass creating a smear. She had no idea that the stallion devil was a father, starting to regret killing him at this point. Perhaps there would have been another way to end the fight? The room would go silent and they both would just stare at the image of the stallion. Knowing now that Mr.Weyland has a daughter only made things even more confusing for Twilight. Why would somepony with a family do such horrible things? Especially when the bad things could crawl in at night and straight up kill what he loved if the darkness escaped. "For the short time I knew him, he never mentioned that he had a daughter"

Mistilie frowns for the first real time since this talk began. Getting up from her seat she and moving away she continues to speak the best she can. The tone of her voice sounded like she was deeply sad with what all has happened involving her father but she didn't show it. "I made this corporation to fix the burn that my father left behind. I hope to finish what he started ... not the bad dreams that you knew him for. I want to clean this world up and complete his greatest dream" There would be another long pause, silence on this subject, there was a complete stop in Mistilie's voice.

Twilight has seen the phrase everywhere, she knew what the dream was. With more tears collecting in the alicorn's eyes the memory of the phrase escapes her lips. "Building Better Worlds, that seems like a dream come true" she was in need of this promise, for a better world, all she can remember anymore is death. Weyland and the Aliens are the main focus of Twilight's memories. It was something so powerful that she was afraid at this point she may never forget them.

"Weyland Yutani, Building Better Worlds" A new voice comes from the opening door. The stallion from before, Rahzzy Dazzle. He begins to adjust his glasses that are loosely resting on his nose like they are not a perfect match for him. "Except now ... it is Encomi building the better worlds now" Mistilie would shoot the stallion a glare because of his abrupt entrance. " I am ready to bring the subject to her room now, Mistilie"

"I have told you almost a hundred times not to come in here when I am talking to a guest. I see you are in a hurry to make it two hundred times, Rahzzy" Mistilie looks to Twilight Sparkle and then too Rahzzy Dazzle. "Unlike Weyland, however, we do not plan on tampering with the alien life form you have grown to know, Twilight" turning her attention to Twilight again, revealing that Encomi Corp knows of the aliens that attacked the three stations. "The Xenomorph is a species that should remain in space where they were discovered. We wouldn't be able to clean up this mess if we got involved with them like father did and besides. There hasn't been a Xenomorph mentioned in a very long time"
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................
Rahzzy continues to walk, he is in charge of transporting guests like Twilight back to their rooms. He just keeps glaring at her, in a mocking, judging way. Twilight can't help but stare back at him in question as too why he was being this way but something has to be wrong. The stallion would only look away occasionally so that he could adjust his glasses to better fit his face. The hallway was long and made of a very shiny metal, the entire facility that she had seen so far was made of this material. It felt too much like the space stations that the alicorn had found herself in before now. It felt like Valuntas Station, Fort Waid, and Wey U Station.

Rahzzy speaks out of nowhere after being silent this whole entire walk. His voice has a hint of fear in it and this fear only makes Twilight stress worse than it needs to be. "Building Better Worlds? You actually believe that shit?" the stallion looks around as if being watched from somewhere. "Weyland Yutani Corporation said this and it was bullshit! I am not ready to believe some miracle company is going to step in and do what the other failed on. You just ate that crap up like an overfed puppy getting another snack!!" Twilight would stop in her tracks being told that she did anything like that. She didn't want to believe that he was right about that, the last thing she wanted was ANOTHER bad thing.

"You can't judge another off of somepony else s mistakes. It doesn't have to be the daughter like father situation" Twilight turns around to see that Rahzzy was now acting spooked. "I just want one day in my life where I don't have all this evil in it" Twilight was more deserving of a wish like that to come true than anypony else here. The mare has not had a normal day in her life for so long. Yet every time she opens her eyes, something was going wrong, with Rahzzy acting this way now it isn't making this easy.

"Twilight, you have seen it all! You cannot tell me now that you believe this shit is possible." Rahzzy shakes his head in disbelief. "I have heard the story of what you did, I have heard the story of the fall and I want something more than what I am seeing now to be what happens after the fall" Rahzzy uses his magic to dig into the chest pocket of his uniform. Pulling out a key ring levitating it to quickly hide it under the Twilight's wing. He did this in hopes that the spying cameras in the facility wouldn't see him do this. "You don't have to now but these keys will tell you more than Mistilie"

"Rahzzy I just want too ... before I woke up I had the intentions to end my life. I want something that will make me regret wanting death and your panic is not pushing me towards that goal" Twilight was blunt, she had been through allot at this point and it had caused her to go from the soft kind mare she used to be. To the mare she is today and she really wanted to be her old self once again.

"Please Twilight ... when you wake up. Please go and see the truth"

What's Next

"Feeling better, Twilight? I understand it will take time to get comfortable here" Mistilie opened the door to Twilight's room peaking inside. Twilight who is laying on the bed quickly tucks the keys that Rahzzy gave her under the pillow that rests on the bed top. "Especially since you don't exactly know where here is and I also would like to apologize for Rahzzy, his actions yesterday were rude. He wasn't supposed to remove you from the room until later" Mistilie didn't seem to notice Twilight's move with the pillow.

Forcing a smile the alicorn replied in a very tired tone, she had only just opened her eyes an half hour ago. "I am sure you plan to explain more? About where I am and what your plans are for my ... condition" looking towards the mirror and glaring at her green eyes, Twilight lets out a long sigh wanting it all to go away. Every time she finds herself remembering the alien events of the past, it was now because she just has to look in the mirror and see her own eyes.

"I am sure it is hard living with what you have" Mistilie has a very calm, relaxed, and positive feeling in the sound of her voice as usual. "I promise that eventually and in time that you won't have to deal with the pain" The white coated mare moves inside the room closing the door behind her. Another awkward silence fills the room as the two mares go silent on the topic of Queen Gene that Twilight possesses in her blood. The fact that the alicorn even lived from having an alien inside of her must be a surprise to Mistilie. The Encomi Corporation really does seem like a company that has the knowledge of everything that has happened, however, did they really know how to deal with this horror? Twilight hasn't stopped thinking about this question since she found out everything she knows so far about the Encomi Company and the Weyland Relationship. Mistilie, the daughter of Mr. Weyland himself ... White Lightning. Twilight stops thinking about it fast and focuses on the topic while also continuing to remind herself about what Rahzzy said about the keys and some truth behind what they unlock.

"So where am I exactly, Mistilie?" Twilight jumps to the question she wanted to be answered yesterday. The truth is that the longer this question went unanswered the more upset the alicorn became. Mistilie didn't seem to feel the same way, once again the mare appeared to wish to stay off that topic and this caused her to move closer to Twilight taking a seat next to her on the bed. To get closer and change the subject.

"I would love to tell you and I will, as soon as the next opportunity arrives" Mistilie places her hoof on Twilight's shoulder hoping to comfort and ease the confusion. "I was thinking we could start working on fixing you up today? Examine your eyes, then get back to showing you more of the facility you are in" A disappointing twitch in Twilight's face grows as this answer was made to the big question. She wants the gene out and gone too but she also feels the need to know if those who are giving the option out of this are really worth trusting. Pushing herself up and off the bed the alicorn heads for the door, not to leave the room but to instead press her horn and muzzle up against the metal material. Taking a deep breath and then letting it out in a groan, she begins to think of a new option.

"Where do you wanna go to check out my eyes? Is there a lab for viewing eyes in this place? Or do you want me to lay back in my bed and have you stare down at me awkwardly?" Annoyed and disappointed, pushing her nose harder against the door, hoping that the next reply from Mistilie will not be as evasive as the last, Twilight was already getting close to grabbing the keys from her pillow and searching for the doors they unlock. Another evasive answer will maker the alicorn goes for that plan.

"There is a lab ... though it isn't just for eyes. It performs many types of inspections on the patients we take in here" Mistilie is for once straightforward with her answer. "In and out! You will hardly spend any time in the lab and then you will be back here"

Twilight turns to look at the mare and responds fast to being in the lab. "I don't mind labs ... I am sure your lab doesn't compare to the last few I have been inside of" Of course she was referring to the last labs as the ones on Wey U Station. The thought of those labs and all the aliens that rested in them ... chilling. Mistilie who now stood up and off the bed headed for the door. "I just wanna see grass, sunlight, and a good book to read. I have seen so much technology that it is all I can recognize" The door opens causing Twilight to back away to prevent herself from face planting on the floor.

"Soon Twilight! You just have to look at this from a more positive perspective" Mistilie had a wide, happy, excited smile. "A couple prick pokes, and testing and you will have your life back" A disbelieving look spread over Twilight on it truly being as easy as that. "Okay it will be allot more than a couple pricks and pokes but you just have to trust that what we are doing will benefit you, Twilight" Mistilie continued to speak as she exited the door, the mare sounds like she means well but Twilight still has her paranoia from everything else trying to use her for THEIR own benefit. Ever since the Xenomorph came into her life the alicorn had a new perspective on ponies. When the alien was around everypony was savage and fought for themselves to survive. Weyland wanted in the end of it all, her as a weapon to control the aliens ... now this company wanted to free her from the gene? It is all too good to be true, or so it feels to Twilight.
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Rahzzy, he is always cautious about what he does. It was still on his mind as he stood at the entrance of the laboratory. "How could I have been so stupid! Give her the keys!! I am not usually so quick on that kind of decision" Talking to himself was also another thing the stallion did. Pressing one hoof on his snout giving it a light tap in frustration, over and over again he taps his nose. "What if she didn't take me seriously? She may have told Mistilie about what I have done, Mistilie is nice when you have known her for awhile but I just dug in a area she doesn't want me to be in" Another stallion by the name of RumHam pressed his hoof on the top of Rahzzy's head in the form of a noogie.

"Stop thinking about that you dumb ass! I don't think the mare is going to tattle on you" Rumham is a larger stallion, could take on most brutes that worked here. Suffering from a minor alcoholic addiction hasn't hindered the stallion in the past either. Being much more relaxed about the situation than Rahzzy, he leans his side up against the wall. "Everything is going to be fine"

Rahzzy pulls away to get some distance from Rumham to prevent another noogie. "I don't appreciate you talking to me like I am a child, Rumham" Adjusting his glasses and taking a peak through the front window of the lab, he couldn't see from here what was going on inside. "Do you think she is okay in there?"

"If by she, you are referring to Twilight Sparkle, then I think a simple eye check isn't going to kill her" Rum speaks in a sarcastic, joking tone. He spoke this way all the time, Rahzzy figured that out very quickly when they first started working together alongside Mistilie and the Encomi Corporation. "The worst that could happen right now is you freaking out or barging into another room that you don't belong in" Referring to the time Rahzzy took Twilight to her room early.

"I am just looking out for everypony! I am afraid of what might happen" Rahzzy is peering more into the window hoping to see Twilight is okay. "I still can't see her from here"

"You really need to relax more. When she opens the door, with those keys, she will want out" Rumham's voice was filled with positive energy. He is always certain that he is correct.

"What happens if it only scares her?" Rahzzy questions.

"She won't get scared! She will want out of here, Rahzzy" Rumham quick to respond to the question but also becoming a bit annoyed. "Stay focused man, or you will be the one with no way out"

"I am looking out for everypony!" Rahzzy repeats his statement from before.

"You don't have too, we all will have our way out soon"

Rumham pushes away to leave the area, to head to someplace else. Rahzzy watches the stallion leave having given up on seeing anything through the window. To him this situation was one big danger zone and all he wants is to get everypony out safely. This place, in his eyes is nothing different from Weyland Yutani Corporation. A company destined to doom themselves with something that should never be tampered or interacted with. Though the stallion doesn't know Twilight Sparkle personally. The stories that go around the facility were enough to feel like she was a friend already. Twilight Sparkle is the mare who survived all three stations that were infected with the Xenomorph Parasites, the one who faced off against the Weyland Yutani Corp to put an end to their plans with the Aliens. She was a fighter that he felt he could relate to. She is also somepony the stallion feels he can look up too

"Please ... Let this work" Rahzzy mumbles to himself before soon following to where Rumham wondered off too. "We have got to get off this place"
..............................................................................................................................................................................................
Levitating the keys in front of her face, Twilight was thinking of actually giving it a shot and going to the key's door. The key itself is more like a key card, color coded for the pad she would need to swipe it on, that should make it easier to find the door. Rahzzy hopefully didn't give her a card to a door located on the other side of this facility is the current concern on the alicorn's mind. "This place better be close by or I am going to have a long talk with that stallion" Exiting her room she rubs her eyes. During the eye test they flashed allot of lights into her eyes and now her irises were all irritated. "I better not keep this waiting. Better see both sides of this place ... I have seen what Mistilie has to show me so far" She tucks the key under her wing and a smile forms on her face as an adventure was about to begin. "Time to see what Rahzzy has to show me"

Walking onward she was looking at all the surrounding areas around her. The walls of the halls were all metallic with thick pipes that must be used to control air flow or something. The more she looked the more claustrophobic she started to feel, the walls so tight in many areas she walked. Her ear twitches as a robotic sounding voice spoke over the intercom that broadcasts notices throughout the facilities work stations.

"Attention, mechanics needed in central ventilation system for maintenance check"

"Can Mistilie please report to command and control for piloting guidance"

The word ventilation causes Twilight to clench her jaw shut. So many bad memories of those places, she might never want to see an entrance to such a place again in her life. The droid voice halts over the intercom with no more announcements to be said. Taking a look at her surroundings again she takes note to what she was seeing, hoping that perhaps she would get some information from looking. Approaching a door that opens on its own after a couple clicks of mechanical parts, the area was starting to feel very familiar. Taking out her key card to look at the color again, hoping to match it with the current key card pad on the other side of the door.

"Well that is unfortunate ..." Not being a match, groaning in frustration she stepped out of the room and took a moment to study her card more. "There has to be some kind of guidance on this plastic ... AH HA!" The words on the backside of the key card read, "Private Dinner Pass" said everything.

"So what is this going to show me?" Looking up at the wall nearby for some signs pointing to the right direction, very quickly she is on the right track. "Might as well finish this up ... even if it is just a launch room" Within seconds she was standing in front of the door. The key card matching the panel on the door, with one swipe of the card the door hissed open. Twilight dropped the key card onto the ground, the reflection of the stars and Equestria rotating on its axis reflected in her eyes.

Dreams for Aliens

The fear fills her heart as she looks at all the shinning stars outside the window, realization of where she is hits hard. Backing out of the room and closing it shut the alicorn's eyes shut tightly, squeezing out a couple tears that then stream from her cheeks to the floor. "I'm still here ... I am so tired of being up here, seeing the blackness, I HATE SPACE!!!" Slamming her hoof on the ground she breaks into sprint down the hallway. Her heartbeat picking up pace as more questions now begin to fill her mind. "Another damn space station! I just want to get back home!!"

Rahzzy intercepts from one of the turns of the hallway, stopping Twilight with his magic and attempting to get her attention. "Did you see it!? Twilight? Calm your tears and talk to me" Twilight reacts by pulling away from the stallion and screaming. The screams cause more tears to pool in her eyes. Seeing this emotion on her said it all, she didn't need to answer the question. "Encomi Station, that is where we are ... but we don't have to stay here!"

"Get away from me Rahzzy!! Don't touch me!" Her wings flare open pushing Rahzzy with them after. Backing away she does her best to suck up her tears. "Where is Mistilie? What is your goal here by showing me this? To spike my fear levels and make me go insane!?"

Caught off guard by the reaction Twilight has made, Rahzzy rubs the back of his head now regretting his choice. "I didn't expect you to be this scared. I was hoping it would spark your will to get out of here ..." Obviously expectations have not met reality and Twilight Sparkle began to draw attention to other workers on the station. "Twilight ...I am sorry. Please calm down"

"Calm down? Don't tell me to calm down! You haven't been through what I have been through!!" Stomping her hoof down again, Twilight grits her teeth in anger. Rahzzy pushes himself forward to confront her and cover her from sight but it doesn't work. The workers of the station start talking, whispering, and starring at the situation. "What else is there that I should know? Who can I trust anymore? Where am I suppose to go!?" As the anger and stress grows inside of Twilight, the more worried Rahzzy was getting. "I don't need to calm down! I DON"T WANNA CALM DOWN!" She stops and the area around her begins to slow down in her head, the only thing she could hear anymore is her heartbeat. Twilight's eyes widen as she places a hoof over her heart. A very familiar pain builds inside of her and it causes her to fall over smashing down onto the ground upon her side. Rahzzy is quick to get down at her side, she goes into a blank stare and things start to fade black.

"Get Mistilie! GO NOW!!" Rahzzy screams loudly at the other ponies who had collected from all around during the beginning of Twilight's rant. "GO!" Twilight can only barely hear Rah's screams for help. Looking around as the world around her fades to black she is unable to make out any sounds of what the ponies around her , however, there was one sound in her head that was strong, the sound of crying.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................
The world around is dark around Twilight, the sound of something dripping onto the floor, the strong sent of blood floats in the air. Confused of what is going on the alicorn takes a look at her surroundings. All around her there is darkness but with every flicker of the light. More of the surroundings became visible and the more Twilight starts to panic at what she is seeing. Ponies lay dead on the ground, blood soaking the floor, large holes in each of the victims heads. A bite wound a Xenomorph usually leaves behind.

"No,no,no!! This can't be happening again!" Twilight pushes back, her hooves slipping on the blood stained floor. Almost falling to the ground she holds her hooves out to catch her fall. Smashing into the hard floor she fails to catch her fall and rolls onto her side. The darkness clears the room now, the lights begin to flicker less as well. It was as if an evil had exited the room and a good was then greeting her. "What happened while I was out? How could this all have happened?" Just then an intercom boomed on. The voice that came out sends chills down Twilight's spine, she gets up and stares up to the ceiling where the sound was coming from.

Iron Will's voice was filled with fear and anger as it echoed from the intercom. "This is Captain Iron Will!! Valuntas Station has been attacked by some ... some monster!! ITS SO FUCKING HUGE!" Twilight tilts her head, lost, confused, saddened to hear this echoing from an intercom. This starts to feel like a memory but not one that she can immediately recall ever living. "Ponies around every corner are dying!! Valuntas Station ... everything I have worked for. Everything is going to be a living horror story soon if I can't get some assistance" She steps away pressing her back up against the wall. Closing her eyes she lets out a long scream, sliding her back down the wall until she is sitting on the floor. Her scream sounds different though, like two ponies screaming at once from one body, the second scream wasn't a pony though. The loud screeching sound of a angry Xenomorph Drone echoes out from her lungs. A mirror that rests nearby reflects a different reflection than that of a screaming Alicorn. Twilight's reflection was replaced by Gash the Xenomorph's reflection, the Xenomorph was screaming loudly. It's dagger tongue sliding out slowly from the open maw of the large beast, the thick drool falling to the floor in large collections. The famous gaping wound on the dome head of the alien was bleeding acidic blood onto the floor that created a light smoke to rise up flowing over the Alien's body.

"Yes you can! I will help you, you have to keep fighting" The voice of White Lightning now echoes in her head, like she is wearing a pair of headphones. From the distressed tone in his voice and how loud he was screaming Twilight opens her eyes again. "FIGHT!! Please Twilight..."

"White!? Weyland!!" Twilight finds herself drifting through a hell of space debris, now wearing a space suit she can hear her own heavy breathing as the realization of what was happening became obvious. "Wake up Twilight!! Wake up!!" She screams loudly , this was a dream she is having, a really fucked up dream. The space debris zooms past her, the only thing she is able to hear is her own heartbeat and breathing. The station parts were from Valuntas Station after it exploded into a hailstorm of shrapnel and death. Her body spins out of control as she flows with the large pieces of metal, the pieces are taking her closer to Equestria. The biggest segments of Valuntas lit a flame as the smashed into the atmosphere of the planet, her eyes widen, a Xenomorph leaped out of the flames from one of the segments of the falling station. Leaping from one piece to the other. It was aiming to reach her while plummeting to the atmosphere. "NO!! Get away from me!!" The flames were getting closer as the pieces she was floating with started to get closer to entering the atmosphere. "GET AWAY!!" The Xenomorph leaped reaching out to her for a killing blow, nothing but flames are visible behind the creature as it lands grabbing tightly onto the alicorn. Her spin increases from the addition of the weight of the alien, everything gets blurry but she sees the alien open is mouth for a killing blow.

White Lightning's echoing voice booms in her helmet as she stares at the Xenomorph. She can see the dagger tongue resting inside the darkness of the main mouth. "Your scared, you have to fight your fear again. You can do this Twilight, please, you can do this!!" Unable to control her emotions at this point, tears pour from her eyes, she bites down on her lower lip so hard that it draws blood. "I KNOW YOU CAN!!" The deadly tongue shoots out and smashes into the glass of the helmet with ease. The sound of breaking glass, the sight of the tongue inches from her face, Twilight feels numb as she feels the urge to scream. The scream fails to exit her mouth and instead she listens to a new sound that echoes from the open space around her. It was the sound of crying again, this time though, it was the sound of a crying Xenomorph Queen.

Growing Condition

Twilight's eyes open, for real this time, using her wing to wipe her forehead she takes deep breaths. She sits up on a medical bed, the room was dark except for one small light from a lamp in the corner of the room. The light electrical humming sound from a heater is the only sound that she can hear aside from her own breathing. Mistilie is in the room too, she must have fallen asleep in the chair she is sitting in. The image of the leaping Xenomorph echoes in Twilight's thoughts now that she is awake. The crying sound in the dream, she had heard that same sound just before she passed out on the floor.

"No ... please don't tell me it's true" Twilight's voice need water, every word was dry. With her magic she grasps a nearby glass of water by her bed, gulping it all down quickly before setting it back down. "Is she here? Will this fucking nightmare ever end?" Mistilie remains asleep in her seat for now. A throbbing sensation quickly comes over Twilight's mouth now that she is no longer stuck in that nightmare. The door to the room slides open, Rahzzy steps inside closing it quickly behind him.

"Twilight? Oh, thank Celestia for your awake now ..." Rahzzy's voice is very quiet so he doesn't wake Mistilie, the more Rahzzy and Mistilie were in the same room. The more obvious it became to Twilight that the two didn't mingle well, they constantly avoid one another or rarely speak to each other. When they did speak to each other, it was always something rude or maybe an argument. "Do you need anything? Water perhaps?"

"What happened exactly?" Using her magic again she grabs the empty glass, levitating it over to Rahzzy for more water. "I can only remember you calling for Mistilie ... it was hard to hear but I am sure you called for her" As Twilight spoke, she also did her best not to wake Mistilie from her rest.

"Only because she knows more about your condition than I do" Rahzzy is quick to clear away any sense of trust that he might have for Mistilie. "Your condition is the only thing I can trust her with" Rahzzy moves closer to the bed, a nervous look on his face as he stares at the alicorn. Twilight stares back and something in the back of her mind begins to say that something was wrong.

"What happened?" Twilight narrows her eyes at the stallion, anger filling up inside of her. "What happened! I have the right to know!!" Her voice goes from a whisper to a scream, Mistilie's eyes open as soon as the scream was made. Twilight uses her magic to move Rahzzy back and away as she gets up from the bed looking for a way to see herself. A mirror by the exit of the room.

"Twilight Please!!" Rahzzy screams back as he is shoved away by the alicorns magic. The magic's aura was a shade of green and purple instead of its normal glow.

Twilight moves pass the unicorn only to be stopped by another, Mistilie stands in front of the mirror with a smile on her face as usual. Twilight's horn and Mistilie's clank together like two bulls ready for a fight, however, Mistilie wasn't looking for a fight. Mistilie steps aside to let the Alicorn view herself in the mirror, a surprise for Twilight. She had become so used to others trying to stop her from doing things. With Mistilie out of the way, there is nothing but a mirror in front of Twilight now. Behind her, Rahzzy is being held back by a new magical glow. Mistilie's red aura of magic keeps the stallion from moving to intervene. The green irises in Twilight's eyes are more vibrant than usual, the bright green color now complemented by a dark green rim and veins that flow throughout the iris. There is still a throbbing inside of the alicorn's mouth. Hesitant of what is causing the pain there she slowly leans her head closer to the mirror and begins to open her muzzle for a peek.

"The sooner she knows the severity ... the faster we can understand and fix her" Mistilie speaks with a smile, her magic intensifies gripping Rahzzy tighter. "You need to learn that I am trying to help her, Rahzzy"

Rahzzy struggles against Mistilie's magic, the mare was clearly more powerful in magic than the stallion was. "Mistilie, don't upset her! Please!! We can't afford to lose her again!!" Rahzzy's words choke up last second as the grip tightens around him. "Stop ... please ..."
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Hey, you can't be in here!!" A lab coat stallion shouts loudly moving over to his panic button nearby, "What do you think you are doing!!" The back of a rifle smashes into the head from behind, being levitated by a green magical aura. The scientist falls to the ground before being able to signal for help. With one more blow to the head from the floating weapon, the stallion is knocked out cold.

"The fridge was out of drinks, though you might have more here" Rumham speak in his sarcastic tone, as usual, tossing the weapon to the side he laughs. "Ah, Lab Seven"

"Warning! Chambers One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven Breached!! All ponies evacuate sections Two and Three" A voice over the intercom booms throughout the laboratories speakers. Rumham is sitting in a chair, he types fast on the computer and every time he clicks enter, the intercom voice would come on over the intercom in the labs. "Warning!! Chambers Two hundred, two hundred two, two hundred three, and two hundred four breached!! Evacuate Sections Five and Six!"

"Evacuate? I never planned to get out of this" Rumham levitates a cold one over to his lips drinking it down with three large gulps. Crushing it and tossing it aside he presses enter one more time on the keyboard. Red lights flash on throughout the laboratory and scientist come rushing through the room in a panic, a couple guards bust into the room as well pointing their weapons at Rumham. They begin screaming for him to get up, they threaten to lock him inside the laboratory if he doesn't cooperate with them.

"Get up!! NOW!!" One of the guards steps forward a bit more, pressing the barrel of his rifle against the side of Rumham's face. "DO YOU NOT HEAR ME!! GET UP!!" The blinking red lights, the flashing intensifies as more turn on. Rumham slowly gets up in a surrendering manner. The stallion didn't care much for the gun in his face, the barrel was very uncomfortable and the guard holding it was very rude. That was all the drunken stallion could think about, he wasn't scared of them. The guards loosen up as Rumham got up from his seat. " Okay asshole!! What did you do!"

Rumham smiles before being a smart as in his response, "What? You don't know? Oh ... my ... goodness, I have been beaten by you?" With his magic, he pulls out to pistols from below the desk, caught off guard the soldiers try to ready for a fight. With two shots Rumham uses the two guns to shoot two of the guards. The bullets smash into the guard's heads, their blood sprays onto the Lab Seven Logo on the wall. "We could have had drinks! You just had to point guns at me!" Taking aim at two other guards he shoots three rounds. The bullets smash into the chest of one of the ponies knocking the guard to the ground. The last guard tosses his weapon to the ground in a surrender, hoping for mercy, he begins to plea.

"Please!! Don't kill me! I am just doing my job, Rumham!" The guard cowers as one of the pistols levitates over, the barrel pressing into the top of the ponies head. "We work for the same company! You should understand I wouldn't normally do these things!! They pay me to follow orders!"

Rumham moves the gun away nodding, orders are orders, setting down one of the two pistols he lets out a long sigh. The guard tears up feeling relief as he was spared. Rumham looks down at the guard before speaking, the tone of his voice was unusually dark than it was normally. "You are just following orders? You don't choose to behave this way?" His eyes narrow and the Encomi Badge on Rumham's jacket begins to glow.

"Honest to the Sun! I would never normally hurt somepony like that!!" The guard screams up at Rumham in anger.

"That is why we are different ..." Rumham lowers his sight to look at his own badge, "I would do this even if it wasn't an order. It runs in the company" Ripping off the badge, the Weyland Symbol is now visible on the jacket, the guard's eyes widen and the gun cocks. "I have a different agenda"
..................................................................................................................................................................................................

"What is happening to me!!" Twilight flares her wings as she growls. She now has two Xenomorph-like fangs in her mouth, like two of her original teeth has morphed into these aggressive killers. "How did these get in my mouth! Mistilie!!??" Twilight's stress levels begin to build. Seeing those teeth in the mirror was enough to bring tears to her eyes. Mistilie didn't respond immediately. The unicorn was using her magic to keep Rahzzy from moving, with the magic intensifying down on Rah. Soon the stallion's eyes close shut and Mistilie would release him from her magical grasp, leaving him on the ground.

"You have a growing condition, Twilight. Growing in ways I never expected it too" Mistilie's smile faded into a frown. The unicorn uses her magic to adjust the flared alicorn wings. Pressing them back onto Twilight's sides. "This is why we needed to get to work earlier"

"You never told me I was changing like this!" Stomping her hoof down in anger as she responded to Mistilie. Twilight would have probably been more willing to get to work if she had known this was going to happen. "I want off this station, Mistilie, but I don't want to be a monster more!"

Mistilie's smile reformed and the mare now stood next to Twi, "Then trust me, Twilight. Stop listening to little ponies like Rahzzy"

"I just wanna go home ... I wanna be myself again" Twilight sighs in her response

"Then let me fix you" Mistilie moves forward resting her head on Twilight's back in sort of a hug, "Then you can be yourself again. You will be able to go home, Twilight"

"No ... No, no, no" Twilight backs away in fear of what she was seeing. Thick translucent slime drops down from above, dripping down onto the metal floor below. "YOU! GET OUT OF HERE!!" Twilight's tears flow down her cheeks as the spit oozes down from the ventilation grate. Mistilie turns around, she backs up to the door upon seeing the thick substance. The grate creeks as what is above push down on it, within seconds the grate detaches from the ceiling smashing down to the floor landing on top of Rahzzy. The heavy metal pins the stallion to the floor, he remains unconscious even after this. The door behind Twilight opens both mares don't hesitate a second on exiting the room. Twilight turns away rushing for the exit in a sprint.

"Attention all ponies! Please evacuate Sections One and Two" A voice over the intercom rings through the hallways. Ponies in the hallway are all moving from the intercoms announcement. Though none of them truly know the reason for the evacuation.This was obvious because they were not in a panic over the announcement. "Please make your way to Sections Three and Four" Twilight comes to a stop soon after running into the crowd of ponies in the hallway. Mistilie seemingly vanished in the crowd as well, Twilight unable to locate exactly where to go on her own.

"Watch it, lady! Trying to move here!" A stallion shouts as Twilight almost runs into him, "You going to a funeral or something!? Watch it!"

"They are going to need allot of caskets sir" Twilight 's words barely came out, being out of breath from running away made it hard to speak. "You are all going to die"

"Excuse me! What the hell is wrong with you" The stallion drops his items to the ground, taking Twilight's words as some sort of threat. "You have allot of nerves talking that way" Twilight's ears pinned back as the stallion now focuses on her. Twilight could hear a distant growling coming from above them but the stallion doesn't seem to react like he hears it at all.

"Sir, please ... that isn't what I meant by that" Twilight moves away to avoid conflict right now.

"Then what did you mean by it!? Ponies don't just say shit like that with no reason" He grunts angrily stomping his hoof down on the floor.

"Perhaps you should calm down. Maybe you are overeating slightly?" Twilight tried to force a smile. Hoping to make the stallion go away. "I am sure a hard working stallion like yourself has better things to do than pick on a mare like me"

"Just like I am sure you don't seem a bit sketchy, running through the halls and talking about so many deaths" The stallion moves in closer. "What was that about all of us dying?"

"You don't understand because Mistilie didn't tell all of you about them! Back off!!" Twilight made one more effort to back away but the stallion then grabs her bringing her to a stop. "Get off!"

"It's time you learn a lesson!!" As soon as the stallion gets ready to strike, a loud thud comes from behind the stallion. Everything slows down it seems, Twilight can hear the ponies all around begin to scream after the loud bang. Blood sprays out of the stallions mouth onto Twilight's face. The spike of a Xenomorphs tale pushes through the chest of the stallion like a sword piercing the heart. Being lifted up off the ground by the creature the pony begins to seize up in pain, the blood spraying out like a a malfunctioning lawn sprinkler. The stallion lets out and anguished scream of pain and then a dagger tongue of the Xeno pierces through the skull of the pony going in one side and out the other. The lifeless body of the pony is ripped of the tail by the alien, tossed aside onto the floor below.

"Attention all ponies! Please evacuate Sections One and Two"

The Xenomorph crawls over towards Twilight pressing its face up against hers growling, Twilight whimpers in fear of the creature and doesn't move. The slime on its fangs drips down onto her chest collecting there until the creature pulls away from her. Leaping up onto the ceiling the Alien returns to the ventilation where it came from. A loud roar echoes down from it as soon as the creature disappears into the darkness.

"Please make your way to Sections Three and Four"

Xenomorph Station

View Online

The Xenomorph screams pushing its ridged dome head against the door attempting to push it open. The ponies in the hallways struggle, working together to keep the door shut. The tongue of the alien snapped through the crack between the door and the frame in an attempt to bite one of the ponies who are fighting. Twilight kept her distance watching the strong stallions fight and fear was making it hard to believe they could hold back against the Warrior Xenomorph.

"What the fuck is this thing!?" One of the stallions screams, his hind legs shaking and slipping on the metal floor. The Alien on the other side lets out another high pitched scream smashing its head against the door to keep it from closing fully. The tongue snaps through the crack making another attempt to bite at somepony. "Holy shit! Keep pushing!!" As everypony pushed against the door, movement above there heads begins echoing down from the ventilation ducts. Unable to speak in fear Twilight backs away shaking her head. Knowing now that things were about to get a bit harder for everypony in the hallway she looks for a way out of this area.

"What is happening? Where did these things come from!?" Another stallion from the group of fighters questions. As a team, they continue to push on the door harder until they finally get it shut. "Lock it!!" Locking the door quickly they all begin to pant and groan from how hard the alien fought against them. The thumping in the ventilation subsides, Twilight looks up before backing away and entering one of the many other doorways of the hallway. Thinking about what was said back in the hallway with the other ponies, on how the Aliens got on board the station is all that she could think about now. The worst case scenario is they were here the whole time but chose now to escape wherever they were kept and create chaos throughout Encomi Station. These creatures sure have a way of turning a peaceful environment into a graveyard in a matter of a couple minutes.

"I have to find ... Mistilie" Twilight words are full of confidence, knowing that if anypony knows about these creatures existence here it has to be the daughter of Weyland, Mistilie Flare. Her ear twitched as the sound of the intercom coming online echoes in the room. Twilight pressed a hoof on her forehead letting out a groan, knowing that it was going to be some evacuation notice or something to do with the Xenomorphs on board the station.

The intercom buzzed and squeaked, the voice over the intercom was robotic but also familiar somehow. "Attention Ponies of Encomi Station. Evacuate to the nearest escape pod in your sector, the station has been infected with a foreign organism" Twilight turns to the exit of the room to open it as she listens to the voice speak overhead. "Encomi Station is being evacuated, Code Orange! Everypony make your way to the evacuation center of your sector immediately" The doorway hissed open, as soon as it opens though. The large dome head of Xenomorph pushes through the opening, Twilight backs herself up against the wall starring at the creature as it enters the room. The intercom continues to buzz about the evacuation of the station. "Code Orange, Evacuate Encomi Station immediately"

The Alien slowly moved into the room, the head of the creature had red blood smeared onto it. The Xenomorph snarled showing its chrome fangs. Twilight naturally looks away from the creature in fear of it, though she can't see it anymore she hears the footsteps of the Alien as it gets closer to her. The Xenomorph lowers it's large head down to Twilight's face until the smooth surface of the dome rubs against her cheek. Twilight closes her eyes tightly as she feels the Xenomorph getting closer more. The deep heavy hiss filled breathing of the killer is all she was able to hear now with her eyes shut tightly. Suddenly she feels the floor disappear from under her, the Xenomorph's hand placed on her back as it lifted her from the ground. With a thundering roar the creature holds her tightly up against its rough body, it storms out of the room sprinting quickly getting underneath an opening to the ventilation. Twilight's eyes shoot open and she is overwhelmed, all around her are the dead bodies of all the ponies from before. The Xenomorph roars once again before leaping up with Twilight in it's hold up into the ventilation shafts above.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Rahzzy! Holy shit dude, you made it? Here let me help you out of that" Rahzzy's opens his eyes as he hears Rumham speaking to him. Rumham moves the grate off the unicorn and chuckles looking down at him. "In case you weren't aware, we currently don't have the time to be sleeping on the job" Rahzzy groans at the smart ass remark Rumham makes before pushing himself up to stand.

"Rumham?" Rahzzy looks at his surroundings, the room was scratched up on the walls from when the Xenomorph entered. The door busted open and some dead bodies were laying just outside in the hallway. "You let them out ... didn't you?" Rahzzy looks to his friend with a disappointed look spread on his face.

Rumham chuckles before nodding to answer the question, using his magic afterward to rip off Rahzzy's badge. Under the Encomi symbol was the Weyland Yutani W. The two exit the room, Rahzzy grunting in pain from being stuck under a ventilation grate previously.

"So what did I miss bud? Did you take care of Mistilie and Twilight Sparkle?" Rumham speaks with the same sarcastic, cocky, and confident tone as usual. "This will be allot easier with Mistilie out of the picture ... she has done enough already" To answer Rumham's question, Rahzzy would look away evading a punch to the face. "Mistilie is still alive? This complicates things. Especially now that there are Xenomorphs everywhere"

"She is just so much stronger than me, Rumham! She subdued me before I even attempted anything" Rahzzy kept his head turned away. "It is almost like she knows everything, without ever being informed about it" Rumham steps away to ease his own nerves and to prevent himself from hitting Rah in the face for screwing up this.

"The plan was there, simple, I release the Xenomorphs to put a stop Encomi. You kill Mistilie to put a stop to Weyland's Daughter" Rumham snorts in anger but he shakes it off, not wanting to be too loud and attract unwanted attention. "That's fine, we can take care of her later. I assume you don't know where Twilight is?"

"I was knocked out Rumham, Mistilie literally choked me out!" Rahzzy adjusts himself to prepare for what now lurks on the station. "Twilight probably fled from the Xenomorphs ... which is crazy because they won't hurt her now" They both start walking, stepping over every body they encounter on the way. "Perhaps Plan B doesn't have to happen? It is a very long way to Synthetics" The bodies on the floor were oozing blood from their skulls creating puddles everywhere. The blood collecting on the two stallions hooves as they walked along. "We are already on Mistilie's shit list Rumham, why give her more reasons to kill us?"

"Rahzzy can you do me a solid?" Rumham quickly avoids the question. Rahzzy was a bit caught off by Rumham and responds like most ponies would to this question.

"What?" Rahzzy's voice was filled with confusion.

"Shut the Fuck Up" Rumham says with a smile before continuing on his way to the Synthetics section on board the station. Rahzzy's ears pinned back against his head, he was just being cautious. Not trying to be annoying in any way but Rum didn't like it when Rahzzy got super cautious because then the unicorn got annoying with it. "The only thing you need to be worried about is the fact that eventually, we will run into a Xenomorph"

The station is already a graveyard, as they make their way to the synthetics area of the station. All around there isn't a sign of a living soul on board. Bodies, Organs, Blood, and Silence is all that the two stallions encounter on the way. Rumham and Rahzzy move fast but silently as they make there way there. Arriving at the Synthetics Entrance, the door would be closed. Though it was operable by a code on the panel next to it, Rumham pulls a sheet of paper from his jacket with a tug of magic. Unfolding it he punches in the code on the panel that he reads from the paper, the door hisses open, inside the area was piles of dismantled androids.

"I remember the day she dismantled these guys," Rahzzy says as they enter the room, he uses his own magic to lift one of the heads that lay on the floor. "Every single android ... murdered" Rumham passes Rahzzy, the larger stallion focuses on the only intact android in the center of the room. Surrounded by the bodies of the Working Joes that once functioned on board Encomi Station. "Are you sure you wanna wake it? I am sure she won't be happy to wake up overthrown on her own station"
..................................................................................................................................................................................................

"This is not what I had planned!!" Mistilie uses her magic to clear the items off the desk in front of her. She sends them flying into the wall in anger of this situation. Slamming her hoof down on the security desk she sniffles in anger, the mare looks up to the screens. "Tell me what happened!!?? WHO DID THIS!? WHO LET THEM OUT OF THEIR CAGES!!" Mistilie quickly starts rewinding the security footage for the answer to her question, tears began to fill in her eyes. She was now very upset for the first time. The tears stream down her face as she looks at the footage rewind to the point where she sees Rumham unlocking all the cages in the laboratory.

The intercom echoes from above repeating the messages from earlier, the audio is quiet but still plays. "Attention Ponies of Encomi Station. Evacuate to the nearest escape pod in your sector, the station has been infected with a foreign organism" Mistilie places both of her hooves on the desk, as her tears begin to fall from all her built up stress she hides her face in her hooves in sadness.

"Rumham, you fucking traitor! Why would you do this? Why would you ruin all of my hard work!?" Mistilie looks up to the computer monitors again. Her eyes red from the tears, her magic still active in her horn creating a pink glow. "If the Xenomorphs don't find you first. I will kill you myself! You ruined everything!!"

"Attention Ponies of Encomi Station. Evacuate to the nearest escape pod in your sector, this is a Code Orange. Please evacuate the station at the nearest Sector Evacuation Point" The intercom echoes out again before finally going quiet. Inside the Control room, Mistilie sits alone still upset about the current situation. She slowly pushes herself up from the security desk heading over to the main control panel of the station. Through the window of the control room, Equis was visible the station floated around the planet. Mistilie's emotion changes suddenly as she arrives at the main controls.

"I HATE YOU!! " She slams her hoof down and uses her magic to begin flipping the switches on the control panel, in anger she begins to shut down the whole system. "If you are going to ruin me! I am going to end you!! I AM GOING TO END IT ALL!!" Mistilie grins as she flips one more switch on the board. The switch opens up a series of switches that previously were sealed behind glass. She then flips the switches without hesitating a single second of time. Immediately the intercom voice returns to say a new announcement.

"Warning! Station Stabilizers Offline!! Evacuate Station!! Evacuate Station"

Fall of Encomi

Rahzzy ducks as Rumham is tossed back against the wall, avoiding having the large stallion thrown at him. He looks to the android they woke up moments ago. The android turns to Rahzzy and rushes forward using one hoof to push him against the wall pinning him up against it. Rumham slowly tries to push himself off the ground but after a long argument with the android. He is too tired now to move more than a couple inches in place. Rahzzy looks into the android's eyes and does his best to start explaining himself to her.

"Coco, I understand you're angry with us. For shutting you off, lying to you, and taking over the station" Rahzzy is cut off as Coco Pommel presses her hoof harder on his chest to silence him. "Fuck! I'm sorry!!"

Pommel eases her hoof letting the stallion go, she looks over him briefly before speaking. Her voice is crackly and soft from being shut down only moments ago. "Three-Years, I have been shut down for three long years!" Coco steps away looking over to Rumham with a smile on her face. "I expected better from ponies I used to work under ..." The intercom would begin buzzing over their heads. The station's stabilizers were shut down and the station was on its way for a crash landing onto the surface of Equis. Coco's ear twitches as she listens to the news booming overhead, the android looks too the two stallions shaking her head slowly as her disappointment was beginning to grow stronger. "Now my station is crashing? Don't you think enough stations have fallen in the past years?"

Rahzzy took a deep breath, sucking up his shame and also being thankful that Coco was being kind after everything. Looking into the android's eyes he begins to explain everything. His words are carefully chosen as to not set off the Android, she used to be one of the evil ones in the past. " I am sorry for everything ... Mistilie just never loosens her grip. She knows what she wants and who she wants to be. Using myself and others to get it all done, when she doesn't get her way." He stops as Pommel places a cold hoof on his muzzle to silence him. The mare's eyes shifted from her regular blue color to an evil shade of red.

"I don't care how threatening the mare is, however, I do care about my life even if it is artificial" Coco removes her hoof and walks slowly to the exit of the Synthetics. Rumham finally pushes himself to a stand reaching a hoof out to the android, spilling the beans on the current situation.

"The station isn't just crashing, Coco Pommel!!" Rumham screams at the Mare Droid to make her stop walking away from this. "The Xenomorphs!! They are here too and the station is bringing them crashing down too!" Anger spread across Rumhams face, stomping a hoof in anger. His anger built up from just having been thrown around by the android. Rahzzy nods not saying anything to add to it, thinking Xenomorph would sum up the threat clearly. Coco stops lowering her head like sadness crept up and consumed her. The android turns to look at the two stallions once again, her eyes still a red color as she responds to Rumham.

"Xenomorphs? It has been too long ... Mistilie is aware that her father never wanted them this close, right?" Coco moved slowly, rentering the room as she continues to speak. "They will kill everything we know if they survive the crash!!" Coco stares into Rumhams eyes growling as she speaks, Rumham flinched as the Android uses one of her hooves to push him up against the wall. "I am getting my flank off this station ... Under Order IronX. You two are coming with me" Rahzzy closes his eyes and Rumham nods not wanting things to escalate any faster than it already has. The intercom continues to buzz and time is running out for the station. Coco releases Rumham and heads for the exit once again to begin her way to the evacuation and to get off the station.

Leaning over to whisper in Rumham's ear Rahzzy does his best to be quiet. Rahzzy still had Twilight Sparkle on his mind, after seeing her with the Xenomorph fang features. The stallion had a lot going through his mind, even if he knew more than he let out. "Do you think Twilight is okay? She will get off the station too right?"

Rumham moves his head away as Rahzzy whispers this in his ear and responds for the first time in a serious tone of concern.

"I don't know buddy ... I really don't think many of us are making it off this Station"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Mistilie stares out the window of the control room listening to the radio buzz beside her. The mare taps her hoof on the desk thinking about everything that has just happened to her and this station. The monitors of the control room are monitoring the altitude of the station and it wouldn't be long from now and the station would be entering the atmosphere. With her other hoof hovering over the control panel she waits listening to the voice on the other side of the radio. The frequency was distorted so she lets out a long sigh before asking the voice a question, the tone of her voice is a fake expression of concern.

"Sector B Canterlot, this is Encomi Station requesting procedures for crash landing in Equestria Territory" Mistilie rolls her eyes after repeating herself. "Our stabilizers have failed and we wish for procedures that will keep the station from being destroyed" She taps her hoof harder against the counter waiting for Canterlot's Response to this current situation. The Responder is quick to get straight to the procedure necessary to keep the station safe.

"Encomi Station, tracking systems on the surface of Equis have determined your current estimated touchdown point" The radio was full of static but Mistilie is still able to hear the voice on the other side. "Based on this estimation you will need to deploy all window shields, heat shields, and use what is left of the stabilizer fuel in manual mode to slow down your station once the flames from entering have stopped burning" Mistilie looks over to the security cameras watching as images of Xenomorphs attacking the crew start popping up on the screen. Nodding to herself she responds to Canterlot's solution to the crash.

"Will this keep the station intact afterwords?" Her voice has a hint of concern, she doesn't want the place destroyed from what she has done. "So that if ponies can't make it to evacuation in time ... they will have a chance at survival"

The Responder sounds concerned as well responding quickly. "We recommend getting as many ponies off the station as possible. The station will still suffer major damage but the strongest areas will remain in fairly good condition, though lives are more important than the station and I recommend getting as many off quickly" Mistilie grins pressing her hoof down disconnecting from the radio.

"Thank you Canterlot, I just hope you will be ready to evacuate us when we crash" Mistilie reaches into her pocket on her coat with her magic. Taking out a picture of her father she smiles down at it, she turns the picture over revealing a Weyland Badge. "No reason to hide anymore ..." Removing the badge from the photograph she pins it to her coat before looking out the window. The planet shine beams into her eyes reflecting inside them like a mirror as she grins, the stations window panels begin to close darkening the entire station very quickly. "You don't deserve a second chance"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Twilight still being held tightly by a Xenomorph begins to wake up, everything was blurry, she was no longer inside any ventilation shaft. The Alien hissed stomping down the hive covered hallway, bodies of ponies strapped up against the wall in a thick black slime, holes in the chests of the dead from newborn aliens that now roamed the station as adults. Doing her best to look around she is able to spot several resting Xenomorphs clinging to the wall or curled up on the floor as if bracing for something. When she moves the Xenomorph tightens it's grip to prevent the alicorn from falling out of the creatures arms. The deeper into the hive the Alien takes her, the more sounds and sights she beings to see as she wakes up more. The sounds of dripping water, growling, and Xenomorphs moving on the walls echo in her ears. It is clear that the hive used to be the labs of the station, many projects, holding cells, and other scientific data was scattered and broken throughout the hive floor.

"Where are you taking me?" Twilight turns her head to look stare at the Xenomorphs dome head as it carries her around like a child. "This is your home, yes, you live here when not killing all my friends?" The Xenomorph obviously will not respond to the question. The creature only keeps moving down the hallway hissing and growling as it passes the other Xenomorphs inside the hive. The area around them getting darker as the lights deeper inside the hive were covered by the slime so thick, no light is able to pass through and bring light or they lights are destroyed by the Aliens inside.

Twilight feels the alien loosen its grip on her as it gently lets her down onto the floor. The Xenomorph growls before walking away from her back where it had come from before, roaring before disappearing completely into the darkness. She is wobbly as she pushes herself back up to a stand, the room was dark but there was enough light to see everything here. Eggs were placed all over the floor and her heartbeat begins to pick up as she looks to the table before her, it wasn't the eggs.

The lab had many chambers that were smashed when the Xenomorphs escaped the lab. Though there was a pony that was laying at the center of the room that was out of place, like she had been brought here by the aliens previously. Tears build inside Twilight's eyes as she approaches the table to see the mare before her. The Alicorn on the table was in rough shape, blood matted the mares body and a huge wound in the mares gut area. The Alicorn on the table ... is Twilight Sparkle.

"What ... "Twilight didn't know what to say as she looked down at herself on the table. The other Twilight obviously suffered a wound from a large Xenomorph Tale. It was the wound on the alicorns gut region. The other Twilight's eyes open but in surprise she doesn't look surprised to see herself standing above her. Like the mare had seen herself before now. "Who are you ..."

Twilight on the table smiles weakly and mouths the words, 'I am you'. She was wearing a medical band with the words printed on it reading, Source Specimen. The station begins to rumble in the walls as the station gets closer to enter the atmosphere. The shaking causes the Xenomorphs to scream and hiss from the stress the station was going under, the Twilight on the table groans in pain from her wounds.

"I have to get you out of here, I can't let you ... me ... I have to get us out of here" Standing Twilight uses her magic to carefully remove several tubes strapped to the other her off.

"Let me help you understand" Table Twilight's horn glows a light shade of green, a fog of magic floats being absorbed by Standing Twilight. "My name is Twilight Sparkle" As those words were spoken flash backs of the previous events are forced into Standing Twilight's mind. Memories of Valuntas Station, the lives of all Twilight's friends being taken away from the Xenomorph Gash. Memories of Fort Waid Station and when she was infected with the Xenomorph Queen. The most powerful memory forced into her head was , love.

"Sunset Shimmer" Standing Twilight shakes her head and looks down too the other her realizing the truth. The Twilight on the table wasn't the other her. The one on the table is actually the original Twilight Sparkle. The Twilight on the table reaches up with one hoof out to her duplicates head.

"Please help me" The station sirens begin to blare inside the hive, the station was entering the atmosphere now and with this new confusion added to the situation. "Weyland Yutani Company is in control. I need you to do this for me ... You are me" The Xenomorphs start entering the room surround the two alicorns as if protecting them from the current possible dangers. Tears form in the duplicates eyes and she shakes her head in denial saying one last thing as the Xenomorphs around them make a bubble of protection.

"I'm fake ... what am I?"

Crash Down Equis

View Online

The smoke billows out from the remains of the Encomi Space Station and everything is silent aside from the active flames and the remaining ponies that survived the crash crawling onto the shore where the station had crashed. Twilight was laying on the sandy beach holding her true self tightly in a hug. The two alicorns were no longer surrounded by the Xenomorphs that were protecting them during entry, washed up onto the shore like stones the two were cuddled close to one another. Blood dripping off the real Twilight Sparkle's muzzle, the alicorn was clinging onto her last breath laying beside her clone. Escape pods that had ejected during reentry are slowly descending by parachutes overhead.

"Please don't leave me, Twilight" Clone Twilight looked down at the alicorn, knowing this was going to be where the fighter truly falls. The Alicorn looks up to the clone of herself after hearing her speak so softly, blood continues to drip from the mare's nose and starts collecting under her chin. Twilight forces a smile even with all the pain she was going through right now. Looking into her copies eyes she shakes her head knowing she has to leave.

"You have my memories now ... " Twilight spits up some blood onto the sand clenching her teeth together afterward. "You can continue my life for me" Clone Twilight pulls the dying alicorn tightly into a hug and the tears begin to fall from the clones eyes. "Don't cry ... it is going to be okay"

"You can't die because your friends need you! I don't know how to be you!!" Sadness and anger flow over the clone, the smoke around them becoming more intense as the fires rage on. The real Twilight Sparkle closes her eyes and uses one wing, placing it around the copy of herself for comfort.

"You ... are me, Twilight" Her body goes limp in the clones grasp with those being her dying words. The Alicorn's last breath slowly releases with the air brushing into the clones mane, from the smoke a familiar voice echoes from the shadows. Rahzzy bursts from the billows coughing and snorting from as that floated up into his nostrils. The stallion emerges alone and he notices the two Twilight Sparkles immediately, the intensity of the fire grows with every second that goes by.

Rahzzy is cautious with his next words as he approaches not wanting to make things worse, "Twilight? Staying here isn't safe!" He looks to the dead alicorn being cradled by Twilight, a frown forms on the stallions face and he moves a bit closer reaching out with a hoof. "I am sorry you had to find out this way but she is gone! There is nothing you can do for her now!" Twilight slowly lets go of the dead alicorn lowering the body down onto the sand below before reaching out with one hoof towards Rahzzy's offer.

"She should have never known ..." Mistilie pushes through the smoke, holding Rumham and Coco with her magical grasp. The two ponies appear to have been knocked out unconscious from the crash landing. Mistilie looks behind her to look at the wreckage, ponies are pulling themselves from the wreck to escape the flames but the screams of pain makes it seem that despite the safety protocols the ship was in rougher shape than predicted. Rahzzy pulls his hoof away from Twilight soon after Mistilie arrives, looking to his unconscious friend Rumham.

Rahzzy removes his glasses using his magic, the smoke creating a coat of ash that was hard to see through. The sound of a helicopter flying nearby starts to echo through the smoke, the rescue teams probably beginning the evacuation of the site. Twilight sucked up the feeling of contemplating her own existence, knowing that the danger was still not over. The ship may have crashed but if they were able to survive it. The Xenomorphs on board, being a much more resilient organism must have a higher chance of surviving the crash landing on Equestria. Through the smoke a helicopter circled the area looking for survivors, the smoke was making it harder to spot the survivors. Mistilie looks over to Twilight Sparkle as the alicorn pushes herself up from the sand.

"What do you think ... TwiCopy?" Mistilie smiles as if her nickname wasn't her being cruel, still using her magic the unicorn lowers Rumham and Coco to the ground before continuing. "Wanna get out of here before you end up like the real you?"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Canterlot Sector B, the base was located not far from the Castle itself. Created to monitor most operations in space and cleaning up when some of those operations fell back down to the ground. Tonight it was a very busy building, the ponies working the building were all working on getting things ready to clean up and evacuate the crash site of the Encomi Station. The receiver who was earlier talking to Mistilie over the radio is now shuffling his papers together as he finishes up his part of the job.

"This brings me back ..." The stallion sighs at this awfully familiar situation that the sector was working with. Turning around in his chair he peaks over the computer monitor behind him to speak with who is back there. "It reminds me of Valuntas Station"

"Really dude?" Iron Will tosses a pen at the stallions face before fully sharing his opinion on that comment. "Valuntas Station was a much worse situation" The lobby was mostly quiet, the sound of keyboards typing away and live video feed from the helicopter echoed throughout the room. Iron Will takes a sip from his mug and turns his computer screen to avoid talking further with the receiver. With a few clicks of his mouse, the Minotaur navigates to view the live feed from the helicopter. All that it shows was the crash from a bird's eye view, the station was mostly intact, the major pieces of the large station showing little damage at all. Those sections are probably the laboratory areas and it this doesn't surprise Will very much. Taking another sip from his coffee his remains looking at the monitor to watch the evacuation from the safety of his comfy chair.

"Amazing, once captain of worlds largest space station. Now I sit watching an LCD screen all day long" with a chuckle before taking another sip of his coffee he watches. His desk contained a picture of some of his friends he made during the three station crisis. Sunset Shimmer, Coco Pommel, Moon Dusts, Scootaloo, and Princess Cadence. A large folder on his desk labeled RESEARCH rested underneath the computer monitor. "Valuntas Station ... pffft"

"Maybe if you acted like you care, I wouldn't hate you" Another pony from another computer peaks over to Iron Will saying this blankly. The feed on the Minotaur's monitor began to zoom in on the crash, something familiar emerges from the smoking station. Literally spitting out his coffee Iron Will ignores the hate comment made by his fellow employee and focuses on the screen in front of him.

"Shut up moron!" Will moves his monitor to the side grabbing his files and also to cover up the pony currently hating on him. "Just shut the hell up!!" Focusing more the sweat begins to drip down his forehead as the feed shows images of a Xenomorph crawling on the craft and disappearing by jumping off the station into the water that the main piece of the station had crashed into. The camera zooms out from the crash and several of the aliens begin to follow plunging into the water, the helicopter begins to lower closer to the ground, the feed shows several more helicopters zoom by the camera ready for landing at the sandy shore. Desperate the Minotaur reaches for his headset to speak to the helicopters on the site. Screaming into the microphone like he had lost his mind he draws the attention of the room to himself, instead of the computer monitors showing the footage. "GET OUT OF THERE!! DON'T FUCKING LAND!! FUCK THE EVACUATION!!"

"Dude!?! What the hell are you doing!!" A pony gets up from his seat and moves over to Iron Will's station to confront him. "You have to have permission for the mic, asshole!"

"FUCK YOU!! I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!! JUST NOT LIKE THIS!!" Iron Will holds out a hand to hold the small pony back and away from him. This only causes more ponies to get up from their seats to assist because the Minotaur was much larger than them. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!! IT IS HAPPENING!!" The ponies in the building all manage to rip the headset from Iron Will's head. The monitors show one of the helicopters nearly touching down onto the sandy shore to evacuate the ponies who were still alive. Iron Will reaches for his headset for one desperate attempt to bring it to a halt but with no prevail as the ponies toss it away and all begin to hold him back.

"Call Security!!"
...............................................................................................................................................................................................

The helicopter slowly touches the sandy shore as ponies hop out from the sides to begin pulling ponies from the shore. Getting them out would be the start of the evacuation before heading to the main crash site, the unarmed ponies are quick to turn on flashlights to begin searching through the thick smoke. Upon landing they hear a couple of distant screams of pain probably from ponies who suffered burns from the crash.

"Alright! You know the drill everypony! Move out and evacuate the survivors!!" The ponies quickly sprint into the thick smoke towards the sounds of ponies in pain. They all hope to pull them out for medical attention, knowing time was not on there side in their situation their focus fades as they rush in to save lives. "Hello!? Don't worry! We are on our way!!"

"AAUUGGGHHH!!!" A scream not far away from the group echoes through the smoke, a loud snapping sound follows before there was nothing but silence. The rescue team stops after hearing the sound that seemed rather close. Focusing their beams into the direction the sound came from they see the lower legs of the source.

"Got one!!" A rescue mare rushes over getting down to begin pulling the stallion to evacuation. She stops as she gets close to the body to discover the stallion has a deep hole inside the bodies head. "What the ..." stepping away from the body something squishes underneath her hooves. "This ones dead! We should move on to evacuate the others!!" Turning around the mare would freeze. With shinning teeth, dripping drool, and a wagging deadly tail a Xenomorph now stands in her way of getting back to the group. She backs away speechless at the sight of the creature and a second Xenomorph steps out from the shadows with a loud hiss as it teasingly bites near the mare with its second dagger mouth. Before being able to scream out for her friends she backs up into a third Xenomorph that was behind her, the hands of the creature grab her immediately over her muzzle stopping sound from escaping. Her muffled screams intensify as the Xenomorph's tongue slowly slides out rubbing against the ponies face.

"Where are they!?" Paranoia floods in as ponies from the group start disappearing one by one. The smoke density was getting thicker with every second they continue searching the area. "Keep looking because they couldn't have gone far!!"

"AUUGGGH!!!" another scream comes from the distance as another member of the rescue team suddenly disappears in the smoke. The remaining ponies stand back to back with one another in fear that something seriously wrong was going on. One of the stallions quietly speaks to the remaining members of the crew.

"Do you think it is a Weyland Yutani Terror Attack? That would make sense right?" They all nod in agreement of the possibility. "This is seriously messed up!! What do we do now!?"

"Shut up!! What ever is out there is going to hear you screaming like that" Another member speaks concerned for the safety of themselves more now over the crash victims. A loud thundering sound of something stomping in the sand echoes from the distance getting closer to the crew. Aiming their lights in one area where the noise is coming from they look for the source. The silhouette of something large is immediately revealed, upon being revealed a huge Xenomorph tail reaches out to the group of ponies like a huge sword ready strike.

Canterlot Equestria

The helicopter slowly lowers itself to retrieve what is left of the rescue teams, the blades struggle to spin against the ash-filled smoke. Unable to fully land the craft the ponies on board throw out rope for the ponies below to climb up, Rumham reaches for the ropes in hopes to get out of this mess quickly. The Xenomorphs weren't near the chopper but their sounds could be heard coming closer through the smoke. Mistilie glares up at the helicopter as she waits for Rahzzy, Coco, Rumham, and Twilight to grab onto one of the ropes. Twilight shows hesitation as she grabs onto the rope, she looks back to where the Xenomorph screams were coming from.

"You can feel them can't you, Twilight?" Mistilie looks away from the helicopter putting all her attention to the alicorn. She moves closer using magic to open Twilight's mouth to view the alicorns Xenomorph fangs. "Truly amazing ..." The ropes of the helicopter start ascending upwards bringing everypony up into the helicopter. Mistilie is the last to grab one of the ropes like she wasn't too excited about leaving.

The rescue ponies are quick to help everypony inside the helicopter safely, the smoke was thickening and it was time to get out of here. Ascending upwards the chopper is quickly moving out of the smoke so the ash doesn't cause the blades to stop working. Rahzzy looks out the window at the crash site. Most of what is going on are concealed by the smoke but a lot of the wreak visible. Looking away from it the stallion looks around to see where the station really crashed, his eyes widen as Canterlot Castle was visible in the distance. As the helicopter moves around it becomes clear it is taking everypony to Canterlot as it heads that direction. The helicopter is fast and soon the castle was in view, the castle was the oldest thing in the entire area still standing like it did in the past.

"Equestria, it sure has changed while we all have been up there in orbit" Rahzzy looks at the city that surrounds the castle, everything was a very dull gray and white. "How long do you think it took to make all this?" Rahzzy was doing everything he could to get his mind off the current crisis. Canterlot's buildings were clustered together on the ground, the lights from the city blocked out the view of the stars. Large clouds are floating all over the city holding up old landmarks of Equestria's past. Among the clouds, there were self-floating business buildings soaring above the lower city. The mare piloting the helicopter begins to communicate for a landing, the tone of her voice is full of stress and fear.

"Sector B Canterlot, this is ... M-Morning Star" The mare flips some switches on her control panel activating landing lights on the chopper. "Requesting emergency landing, we suffered major casualties" She continues to chat with Sector B for permission to land. The Chopper hovered in place waiting for further orders, Mistilie stares out the window looking at the clusters of buildings everywhere. A look of disgust is on her face as she looks over the high tech civilization below them, the chopper begins to move once again but this time for a landing at Sector B. Rahzzy is staring at Mistilie, he was very upset still at the unicorn mare. The helicopter touches down on the helipad, the doors on the side open up and the rescue crew helps the group out of the chopper. Twilight is dazed staring at the surroundings, blown away by the mass of the place. A soldier rushes up to the helicopter and begins talking to the helicopter pilot as she exits the craft.

"Get the survivors inside!! Troops are being deployed all over Canterlot!! Something was on board that station, nothing we have seen before" The troop doesn't look over to Twilight and the others, being focused on passing over information. "Commander says she would like to get some information from the survivors to better understand the situation, maybe they saw something that can help us!!" Mistilie moves away from the group to hider herself from visible eyes of the troops. She was wearing a Weyland Yutani Badge. The unicorn keeps her eyes on Twilight as she positions herself in the back of the group. Rahzzy and Rumham are quick to join Mistilie in the back of the group for they too were wearing Weyland Uniforms.
..................................................................................................................................................................................................

Twilight watched as she walks down the hallways with the team that brought her here. Everypony inside the complex was being heavily interrogated by the troops. Clearly, the ponies wanted answers to the current situation that had just taken place during this rescue mission. The hallways of the complex are massively built, big enough to hall a large APC through if needed. Mistilie was close by to Twilight as everypony walked down the hallway to meet the commander for some quick questions. Feeling Mistilies hoof tap her back, Twilight looks over her shoulder to see what the unicorn wanted from her.

Mistilie shows a kind smile before asking her quick question, "You don't trust me much anymore do you?" The unicorn couldn't help but frown at the thought of this. "I truly want to be your friend, Twilight" Rahzzy looks away not wanting to hear any more of this. His trust for Mistilie is completely gone after the unicorn was choked out by the mare back on Encomi Station.

Twilight isn't sure how to feel about this, the alicorn turns away focusing on where they were headed. Not looking at Mistilie, Rahzzy, or Rumham She notices the Weyland W Badges on the three ponies outfits and this is enough for her to not respond to them currently. Thinking back to when she woke up she remembers when Mistilie made the claim that she was not with the company. That the company had been shut down years ago, yet here they were, right in this group with her now. That lie hurt more than being made to believe she was the real Twilight Sparkle. A door in front of them opens up revealing a huge group of soldiers standing at attention. This must be where the interviewing begins with the commander because why else would all these soldiers be here in one spot like this. A familiar voice echoes out from in front of them as they continue to walk forward.

"Twilight ... TWILIGHT!!??" Sunset Shimmer steps down from a podium with tears resting in her eyes in sight of the Alicorn in the group. Sunset Shimmer is very hesitant as she moves closer, Twilight stares and uncontrollable tears fill her eyes too. "You are dead ... but you are here ... Oh, Celestia, this is to good to be true!" Sunset moves in and pulls the alicorn into a big hug. Iron Will, who doesn't make a move and just watches from a distance doesn't seem as surprised to see Twilight there. He stands in the distance and watches as the two reunite with each other. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt in the crash? I can't believe you are here!!"

Mistilie watches with a fake of a smile as ever, she had become more and more fake with her emotions as time passed by it seems. She doesn't say anything, keeping the fact that Twilight is indeed just a clone of the real deal to herself. While in the hug, however, everything seemed to slow down in Twilight's head. Sound begins to muffle, her sight begins to blacken as she hears her own heartbeat. Twilight's eyes widen as she places a hoof over her heart. A very familiar pain builds inside of her and it causes her to pull away from the hug. Rahzzy pushes from behind the group revealing himself in his Weyland Outfit as he reaches for Twilight. A drop of thick spit drips from the alicorns mouth at the same consistency as the spit from the Xenomorph. She falls over but this time Rahzzy catches her before she smashes into the floor, slowly the worlds around the alicorn begins to blacken. Drool comes from her mouth but it is more like the spit from a Xenomorph instead of a regular pony. The only thing the alicorn could hear as the world goes dark was the familiar sound of something crying in the distance.
................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Listen ... I told you this time and time again" The store clerk places a hoof firmly on the counter of his shop as he yells at a group of small kids. "If you don't have the credit to pay ... THEN GET OUT OF HERE!!" A loud crashing sound comes from the back room of the shop causing the clerk to get up from his seat and his anger builds. "One of your friends back there!? Enough of this!! I have had enough of this crap!" The clerk moves to the door to enter the backroom of the store, the fillies he was yelling at moments ago bolt out of the room scared. Opening the door the clerk expects to find a child hidden in the room, as soon as he opens the door he his brought to a stop as the tongue of a Xenomorph smashes through the partially open door into the clerks head killing him.

Outside ponies everywhere are now running for their lives as the Xenomorphs arrive in Canterlot so suddenly. The aliens are climbing the sides of the buildings leaping down on the fleeing ponies from above pinning them to the ground quickly killing them. One pony was being pinned down by a Drone before quickly being forcefully drug across the ground away from the fight by the larger Xeno. While others were being stabbed, ripped apart, slaughtered by the warrior Xenomorphs that flooded the streets of Canterlot.

"No!! Get the off me!! HELP!!" A stallion kicks and screams for help as a Ranger Xenomorph picks him up from the ground with both hands. The acidic spit of the special breed started to flow as the Alien was getting ready to douse the pony in the acid. "HELP ME!!" Ponies who were running away did nothing but run from the screams of help. Currently the ponies of Canterlot were more concerned for their own lives to care to help each other out of this. The Ranger opens its mouth and shoves the stallions head inside letting the acid spit begin eating away at the ponies skull. A group of Warrior Aliens leap down from the tops of the buildings onto passing ponies, the creatures grab the ponies by the head keeping them still for a killing blow. Blood begins to fill the street as pony after pony begin to fall by the might of the attacking aliens.

A helicopter flies overhead using a spotlight to reveal the scene of the attack, it was a news chopper out to hopefully get word out about the attack. The chopper goes into a hover as the camera crew prepares themselves to record this live for Equestria to see. The crew stops as the sound of something large swooshes past the helicopter, they look up and at first there is nothing in view. Suddenly a Xenomorph swoops down with a large wingspan, the Xenomorph has a longer tail than normal and it uses it to quickly shove the spear end into the cockpit. The spear end of the tail shoves deep into the pilot and hooking inside the ponies body like a fishing hook. The alien flaps its sails hard and soars away ripping the pilot from the chopper.

"Grab the controls!!! What the fuck!!" The chopper is sent out of control with no pilot at the controls anymore. The ponies inside rush to save the falling craft but it smashes into the streets, the spinning blades of the chopper smashes into a group of ponies ripping them apart like a blender does to a fruit. The helicopter rolls and tumbles down the street lighting up in flames as it comes to a stop. The helicopter is nothing more than a mashed piece of metal , sliding to a stop it halts as it bumps into the feet of the largest attacker. The Queen snarls smacking the crashed chopper away with one swift strike of her large tail. Warriors begin to climb up the Queens body to perch on her body as the large Xenomorph turns away to return to where she came from. The attacking Aliens that were not perched to her do not follow, instead they continue to attack the remaining ponies on the streets of Canterlot ... soon they would reach the castle itself at the rate they were pushing through the city.

The Minotaur picks up Rahzzy in anger of seeing the Weyland Yutani outfit. There is nothing Rahzzy could do about this, having no chance to overpower Iron Will. Rumham and Mistilie step out after revealing themselves as Weyland Loyalists, Mistilie shakes for the Minotaur to see like she is sending the large male a threat. Twilight Sparkle lays still on the ground after falling, before speaking, Iron Will raises his fist ready to strike.

"You Weylands, I have been waiting for a day when you shady snakes would pop up again!" The Minotaur growls, Mistilie steps forward with her horn pulsating with a magical glow. "I am going to give you what you deserve!!" His fist is stopped before he can strike, Mistilie using her magic to hold it in place.

A smile on her face, impressed with herself she was able to hold back the Minotaur she speaks slowly,Like she is talking to a slow learner. "Pick ... on somepony ... who is on your level, Waste of Space" Iron Will lets go of Rahzzy not wanting to see if the mare was serious. Mistilie's magic releases Iron Will and she turns her attention to the alicorn on the ground. "That is a good boy, we have bigger problems after all" The army of guards in the room begin to rush out, many of the ponies yelling out commands to head to Canterlot Castle. Sunset Shimmer lays herself down next to Twilight as she gives out orders to the ponies who are leaving the area.

"Get to the Princess!! Celestia must not fall to this attack!!" Sunset screams loudly so she can be heard over the stomping hooves of the soldiers. As the ponies leave the room she puts her attention back to Twilight Sparkle. "This is not what I expected for a reunion ... what is happening to her?" Guards step behind Rahzzy, Rumham, and Mistilie.

"So you are going to arrest us?" Rumham says noticing the guards coming from behind, "While Equestria has bigger problems?" Iron Will nods in response and the guards begin to explain the situation to the group of Weylands.

"You are being arrested under the Iron Act, established after the fall of three stations, all Weyland Yutani Activity is an act of terrorism" The guard speaks sternly but is cut off by Rahzzy before finishing.

"What activity did we do!? I am just wearing the uniform, I have not participated in any activity" Rahzzy is full of stress stepping away to avoid being arrested. "I haven't done anything!!"

Mistilie smiles shaking her head and looking over to Rahzzy and Rumham, "We are responsible for deliberately causing Encomi Station to crash down onto Equis" The mare's lie is unknown to the troops, Encomi Station crashed because of Mistilie's actions alone. Rahzzy's face turns red in anger as he immediately rushes at Mistilie Flare. Mistilie's eyes widen in surprise to see the stallion rushing at her screaming.

"WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS LYING!!?? I AM SICK OF YOU, MISTILIE!!" Rahzzy tackles the mare to the ground readying himself to punch the mare in the muzzle. Before he can though, he is pulled off by the guards to prevent a fight breaking out. Rahzzy's hoof barely misses Mistilie's face. The rush of air causes her mane to move from the speed of the hoof passing by her face. Iron Will steps forward shouting at the guards with a thundering shout.

"Take them away! Get them out of here!!" The alarms of the base begin to go off, after short time, the Xenomorphs have already reached the facility. The lights to the structure are immediately cut, the darkness consumes every corner of the room making it impossible to see. Guards are heard screaming outside the room, Sunset Shimmer rushes to the door slamming her hoof down on the door lock causing it to seal shut.
..................................................................................................................................................................................................

Twilight's eyes open, greeted by the snarling face of the Xenomorph Queen. The Queen roars at the alicorn rubbing the blade of her tail across the side of Twilight's face in a nurturing way. For the second time ever, the alicorn doesn't feel fear from the sight of the Alien. Looking up at the large Xenomorph, Twilight reaches out with her hoof to touch the snout of the organism. She lets her hoof slowly glide down the smooth surface of the Queens face like she is petting her. This was another dream, Twilight knew it as soon as Gash steps out from behind the Mothering Queen.

The Xenomorph snarls wagging its tail from side to side, the body of the Xenomorph covered in the blood of the ponies it killed back on Valuntas Station. As the alien steps forward the deadly mouth opens wide revealing the instant kill tongue inside. Twilight braces by closing her eyes as the tongue lashes out towards her.

She is now falling again, through the descending debris of Valuntas Station. Just like the last dream she had a Xenomorph emerges from the flames leaping around quick and easy from fragment to fragment of the debris. The fear from before returns and Twilight finds herself screaming at the incoming alien.

"Yes you can! I will help you, you have to keep fighting" The voice of White Lightning now echoes in her head, just like from the last dream she had before. "FIGHT!! Please Twilight..."

"No!! I can't do this! I AM NOT TWILIGHT SPARKLE!! GET AWAY!!" The Xenomorph leaped reaching out to her for a killing blow, nothing but flames are visible behind the creature as it lands grabbing tightly onto the alicorn. Her spin increases from the addition of the weight of the alien, everything gets blurry but she sees the alien open it's mouth. Different from last time however. An explosion comes from behind the Alien and it is sent flying away before it can break the glass to Twilight's helmet.

White Lighting's torched body comes from the flames in front of her and he screams wielding a blade. "I KNOW YOU CAN!!" Pressing the blade to the alicorns neck he screams louder but this time in rage. "You have what I want!! Give it to me, Twilight Sparkle! Give me what I want!!"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Iron Will opens his folder looking at the images displayed alongside a bunch of jumbled text, he has already been reading through it for a while now. Mistilie and Rahzzy were separated on opposite sides of the room, with the room locked down nopony was going to be sent to prison tonight. Twilight Sparkle wakes up suddenly gasping for air, spitting out thick slime from her mouth that had collected while she was out.

"Good morning, Buttercup" Iron Will closes his folder getting up from his seat. Most ponies were already asleep from the hours they had been locked in here. "Equestria as we know it might not be the same once we open those doors. How are you feeling?" Looking down at the Xenomorph slime on the ground that came from Twilight's mouth Iron Will speaks again before giving a chance for the alicorn to respond. "You could be better, Twilight. While you were asleep, Mistilie, was at least kind enough to let us in on your growing condition"

Twilight looks over with concern, while looking to the Minotaur she smiles. "It is good to see you ... I think I missed you" her voice is weak from the dream she just had. Like she was still under attack.

"I think there is still hope, for everything, I know more than you think" The Minotaur grins opening his folder. Once opened he points a finger up to the ceiling. "We were warned about this from the beginning"

"What are you talking about? Warned from the beginning?" Twilight is sure that he was referring to the aliens on Equestria. Which is why she asks this question.

"After Weyland Yutani was shut down ... all the files became accessible. I was granted permission to go over the files that were previously hidden from Equestria" He slams his hand on the papers inside the folder and nods, "Years before my Valuntas Station was invaded by the first Xenomorph. There was a signal sent to Weyland Yutani from deep space" Twilight tilts her head confused but Iron Will continues to speak. Though the alicorn is unsure why exactly he chooses now to say all of this too her, why her? "The signal was a threat ... that these creatures would be unleashed, able to end existence as we know it"

"Iron Will ... why are you telling me this? Why does it matter?" Twilight pushes herself to a stand opening her wings to stretch out.

Getting up Iron Will walks over to Twilight putting his hand on the alicorns head rubbing his fingers in her mane with a smile. "Whoever sent this message, really hated the company, believed that because of that company. That we should all be destroyed" He continues with a positive on the mind, "If we figure out who ... we might be able to save you" A moment of silence falls and Twilight isn't sure how to respond to this. The Xenomorphs were created ... for the purpose of destroying Equestria? She isn't sure how Iron Will was able to figure all of this out, however, she also doesn't know if she should question that. The Xenomorphs are already here on Equestria and who knows what has happened while everypony was locked up in this shelter.

The Signal

View Online

Celestia's hoof smashes into the dome head of the Xenomorph, the guards inside the castle are struggling against the Aliens. Each of them being taken out of the room by the flooding Drones. The large alicorn did her best to keep the Xenomorphs off of her as they reach out one by one attempting to grab her. The Drones were not killing anypony inside the throne room, instead, the aliens were abducting the soldiers, dragging them out of the room once the Xenomorphs had a hold of one of the soldiers.

"What do you want!? Where have you come from?" Celestia's horn charges up with a magical glow, casting a spell on one of the closer Xenomorphs. With the power, the sun goddess possessed she was able to shoot a beam powerful enough to cause the Drone to explode. "Get back Monsters!!" Celestia sends another beam flying out of her horn into the body of another drone causing it to burst.

"Princess!! Get out of here!!!" One of the guards screams to the Goddess as he is pulled out of the room by one of the Xenomorphs. His voice echoes in the halls as he continues to scream at her, repeating until he couldn't be heard anymore. "Get out of here now!!"

Opening her wings, Celestia soars up above the Xenomorph's reach as she heads for the exit of the throne room. The Xenomorphs react quicker than expected, the creatures roar as they begin to climb the walls in an attempt to get closer to the Alicorn. She dodges while in flight to avoid being knocked out of the air as the aliens began to push themselves off the walls in a lunge towards her. She swoops through the open throne room doors to escape the attacking infestation of organisms. The Goddess began to fill with fear seeing the castle hallways are filled with the monsters. Without thinking, to save her own life she turns quickly towards one of the decorated windows. She smashes through the pain of glass that contained images of her reunion with her sister Luna. Outside, the castle walls have the attackers crawling all over. Warrior Xenomorphs are climbing the walls of the castle smashing their bodies into the glass windows allowing other aliens entry to the castle. Celestia looks forward as one of the large winged Xenomorphs swoops down from above heading towards her.

"The land and the sky? You really are perfect!!" Celestia charges up her horn, the Xenomorph readies its large tail to hook the Princess. "Not perfect enough!!" She dodges as the Xenomorph gets closer, Celestia aims her focused beam into the chest of the Winged Organism sending it crashing to the ground. The smoke from the crashed Encomi Station began to float above Canterlot, creating a thick black fog of smoke throughout the city below. The screams of the Alicorns loyal subjects echo from the smoke, she closes her eyes briefly.

Celestia looks at the buildings above with a smile, with a big flap of her wings she ascends to the level needed to travel safely to the buildings. She aims herself towards the old Weyland Yutani Headquarters. The building suspended in mid-air above the thickest populace of the city. The smoke from Encomi surrounded the building making it hard to see as she approaches the large floating structure. She lands on the bridge leading to the Weyland Structure, not wanting to take the chance of flying into anything on the way. It was almost impossible to see through the thick smoke. More screams from ponies below echo up into her ears, holding back tears she walks along the bridge. Only seconds in, the bridge shakes as something is felt landing on the walkway ahead.

"Why are you so persistent? Just let me be, monster!" Celestia powers up her horn once again as the dome head of one of the flying aliens start pushing through the smoke as it walks the bridge towards her. The winged Xenomorph has a deep hole in its chest from when it was shot from her previously. "Back for more? I am not afraid to kill you!!"

The Xenomorph taps it's tail on the bridge hissing at the Alicorn, thick spit dropping down below its feet as it stops moving forward. Celestia waits to strike, wanting it to get closer so she could make sure it would die this time. The Xenomorph roars at her opening it's wings like it was ready to take flight at her.

"Come on then!! Why are you hesitating!?" Celestia flares her wings as she screams at the alien, the Xenomorph showed signs of hesitation. The creature takes a couple steps back growling at the Alicorn, a deeper growl echoes from behind Celestia. Though she is too slow reacting to this, a large tail wraps around her being forced to remain still. The Xenomorph Queen hisses into Celestia's ear from behind aggressively. "How did something like you make it up here?" Celestia wiggles in the grasp of the tail. Even she knows though that it was a waste of breath, the tail was simply too strong to wiggle out of. She waits until she is able to get a better look at the Queen before making her next move. Celestia closes her eyes taking a slow deep breath of the smoke-filled air. Her flowing mane flows faster, her horn glowing a bright gold, a hint of anger trembles in her lower lip. The Queen opens her large mouth revealing a large instant kill tongue inside, one that is ready to strike down Celestia. The tongue slowly inches out towards the Alicorn's head teasingly, Celestia opens her eyes feeling the presence of the death.

In her royal voice, she screams at the two Xenomorphs in defiance, "I WILL NOT FALL TO YOU, CREATURES OF DEATH!!" A wave of magic exits her body forcing the tail of the queen to release the alicorn. "I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE AT ONCE!" With a fully charged up horn, the Goddess sends a beam of magic at the Queen's chest. The magic smashes into the Queen pushing the large alien away.

"The Signal, it was received at Weyland Tower" Iron Will stretches heading for the door to unlock it. "Wake up the others, I think it is time to get out of here, see the damage done" He begins the process to unlock the sealed door, Twilight looks to the sleeping ponies. Before she even moves to start waking them, a question for Iron Will.

"Can we go to Weyland Tower?" Twilight's voice is a sadder tone than the Minotaur was used to. Twilight turns to face him, waiting for a response.

"For a clone ... you have the same thoughts as Twilight Sparkle" Iron Will stops with the process for the door, turning to face the alicorn. "I am not going to say anything ... this is a blessing for Sunset Shimmer. Though I know it is too good to be true"

Twilight steps back shocked to have the Minotaur know she was a copy of the Alicorn, faster than she was able to figure it out on her own. She looks up at him before turning away to end the conversation short to wake up the other ponies in the room. Knowing she wasn't the real Twilight hurt her deeply, knowing somepony else knew as well hurts more. From this point, she knew she has to try harder to keep that secret safe. Knowing that if Sunset Shimmer or others knew the real Twilight really did die, it would crush them. Rahzzy, Rumham, and Mistilie are the first to wake up, followed by Sunset Shimmer and the two guards who were with her.

"We are going to Weyland Tower, it should have the answers we need to perhaps save Equestria" Twilight's voice is raspy from her sadness. She holds back her emotions the best she is able too, Mistilie walks past the alicorn whispering something into her ear.

"Good Morning, Buttercup" Almost as if Mistilie had heard Iron Will say it previously, the unicorn then speaks out loud so everypony can hear her. "To Weyland Tower then?"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Seriously terrible how fast they messed up Canterlot," Mistilie says looking up at the Weyland Tower overhead, there was sarcasm in her voice as she continues speaking. "Shame we were locked up, prevented from seeing all this" The group looks up to the tower, most of them ignoring Mistilie's negative attitude towards everything. Rahzzy pauses thinking to himself on how everypony is going to get up there.

"Do you think there is a ship we might be able to use to get up there? Not all of us can fly ... you know?" The group agrees that it isn't going to be easy. A vehicle is needed to get up there, at least for everypony to get up there. "What worries me ... I don't hear anything. I can't even hear a Xenomorph nearby"

Iron Will looks around briefly, looking quickly to find a ride up there, luckily it does not take long. The Minotaur walks over and opens the door to a hovercraft. Native to the area it has to have the ability to fly around like a plane to get up to the suspended buildings above. Coco watches, curious as to why the Minotaur was able to get into the car without worry. The Android mare steps forward and asks.

"Don't you think the owner will miss it? Why just take it?" The Android, knowing her protocols, even if she was known to break them from time to time. They made her question what is right from wrong.

"Well I am sure they are dead" Iron Will is blunt and taps the side of the car, "Let's get up to that tower ... the answers are up there waiting for us"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

The tower is quiet as the entered the main archives entrance, strange enough that not a single Xenomorph attacked on the way here. Rahzzy turns on a flash light to light the dark corners of the room. Twilight's brain was taking in everything as she looked at all the Intel collected by Weyland Yutani Corporation during its years of service to Equestria. The mass of files were probably classified information, that has never been read, this thought only made the bookworm alicorn excited to be here. She wanted to read!!

"So what are we looking for? A lost library book?" Mistilie snorts, using a hoof to wipe the dust off one of the files. The dust floats off and fills the air, drifting in the beam of light from Rahzzy's flashlight. Rah looks over to Mistilie shaking his head in anger.

"Does everything you say have to be negative? It is really bringing me down" The stallion snorts back at her moving away to resist the urge he had to hit her. "Though, what are we looking for?" Rahzzy watches as Iron Will walks over to the video archives. The Minotaur picks up two boxes full of tapes with labels bringing them into the open before responding, the tapes were all organized by dates received.

"We are looking for the Signal, it might have the answers on who can stop this madness" Iron Will spoke in a way, that feels like he has given up hope on everything but this. Twilight looks over to the box using her magic to levitate one of the tapes out of the box. This one didn't have a date on it, however, instead, it had a full title.

"Angel Colonization Mission?" Twilight reads the title, confused, she has never heard this until now. Iron Will grabs the tape walking away to look for a player. Rahzzy steps forward taking off his glasses, the stallion smiles remembering the mission. Mistilie rolls her eyes annoyed by what she believes to be a waste of valuable time, while Iron Will looks for a player for the tape, Rahzzy explains.

"The Angel Mission, I remember it like it was yesterday, it was the first colonization mission. Many ponies were sent out on a massive space center, Aspheion 2"

Being a curious pony, Twilight would have a question right away. "What happened to Aspheion One?" Rahzzy rubs the back of his head being asked that question. "Why is a tape of the first colonization mission in these secret archives?"

"Something ... I don't know exactly what, happened during the mission that Weyland didn't want public" Rahzzy uses his shirt to clean the lenses of his glasses. Keeping his eyes away from looking at the Alicorn as he continues. "Aspheion One is said to have never left Equestria. That it was attacked during the beginning of the Griffon War"

Iron Will steps back to the group holding a very small device, used to play these taped files. The Minotaur has a look of excitement on his face. Rahzzy was cut off as Iron Will arrived, he obviously didn't want to be in here too long with the current Xenomorph Infestation still going on.

"This is it! In the files of mine, the Angel Mission was mentioned frequently throughout the pages" Turning on the device Iron Will showed it to Twilight Sparkle, Rahzzy, Coco Pommel, Sunset Shimmer, and Mistilie. "Let us see what this tape has for us"

The tape turns on, the first thing displayed was a small photo of a group of ponies. They were prominent roles on the Angel Mission. The picture showed the captain of the ship standing with a light brown stallion, a green mare with a brown mane, another mare white of color, and an out of place android with them. The slide ends shortly before moving onto a long line of text, Twilight reads the text as it is displayed.

Weyland Yutani Headquarters Only
Confidential Intel, Angel Mission Threat Signal

Hello Weyland Yutani Employee,
The footage you are about to view should only be watched if you plan to do something with it. The footage was sent from Space Center, Aspheion Two. This footage contains a threat from a source, our commander wishes to keep to himself, so the identity will not be mentioned in this footage. This threat is on Equestria, a threat to unleash a deadly pathogen onto Equis soil. In hopes to wipe out the ponies living here and in the threat it is also stated that the universe itself is not safe from this pathogen.
Thank you, Here is the footage

The footage begins to play, the camera looking at the security cameras of Aspheion Two. The camera shows a large Xenomorph Drone walking the hallways of the craft, bodies piled up on the floor where it walks. The footage stays looking at the footage and then a voice speaks softly into the camera.

"You have seen it for yourself ... this is my life's work!! My creation put together perfectly for killing quickly and effectively. Gestating fast inside of a pony host, bursting out to something beautiful" The voice is a mare, she seems in love with the alien creation on the screen. "I will be unleashing this ... this Xenomorph onto the worlds. I plan to erase what you have built, in your better world" Rahzzy looks away from the screen, as if he knows something Twilight doesn't. The voice was becoming clear ... the camera began to pan to show who the pony was on the screen. Suddenly a magical glow wraps around Iron Will's neck choking him out, the device falls to the ground smashing, the video starts to glitch but still watchable. Rahzzy pushes himself up from the ground and backing away, Mistilie is the mare using her magic to put pressure on the Minotaur's neck.

"Digging Deep? How about I have my turn?" Mistilie growls, her horn glowing brighter as she levitates a nearby box cutter into the air. Twilight looks away from the fallen device and reaches out with a hoof to Iron Will. The blade of the cutter is shoved into the Minotaur's chest by Mistilie Flare. "I am not helping ... anypony out of this" Twilight opens her wings and jumps towards Mistilie in as intense anger overflows.

"Nooo!! Iron Will!!" Twilight screams while jumping forward in the air, on the screen of the device ... Mistilie Flare.

Growing Problems

Mistilie uses her magic to stop Twilight from getting to close, tossing her against one of the shelves in the room. Twilight hits the wall hard and all the folders and folders fall from their place on the shelf landing on top of the alicorn with a crash. Everypony in the room is ready to go for Mistilie, not wanting her to get away after this. Rumham rushes forward picking up a heavy box. Mistilie turns to him grabbing the box from him with her magic, pushing it forward knocking the stallion to the ground.

"Who are you!?" Sunset Shimmer screams in rage stepping forward swinging a baton at the white unicorn. Mistilie dodges the swing stepping to the side using her back leg to trip Sunset Shimmer. Rahzzy uses his own magic to grab the baton as it falls out of Sunset's grasp and he swings it at Mistilie.

Mistilie ducks from the swing, shock fills Rahzzy's eyes when Mistilie gets up from her dodge now face to face with him. The mare grins and headbutts Rahzzy knocking him back.

"Wanna fight, Rahzzy? Like I said before ... I am not helping anypony out of this" Mistilie rushes forward headbutting Rahzzy again. Her horn leaving a little gash under the base of the stallions head. The two soldiers that were with Sunset Shimmer sneak up from behind Mistilie ready to strike, as the two ponies reach out grabbing her, she uses her magic to move them past her smashing their heads against each other. "We had a plan and even though it didn't go according... things are leaning into my favor"

Rahzzy uses his magic to pull up his sleeves growling in rage staring at Mistilie. "I have known you for years!! Bent to every word you spit from your muzzle" Mistilie doesn't move, watching as the stallion prepared himself to fight. " I am choosing my own path today!!!"

The mare moves to the side making the first move in the fight. Mistilie positions herself to the side of Rahzzy slamming a back hoof into his ribcage. Rahzzy yelps falling to the ground and the second strike comes from Mistilie's magic, a lasso of magic wraps around Rahzzy's neck pulling him back into a wall. Smashing into the wall creating breaks in the surface the stallion feels the lasso tighten around his neck pushing him against the wall in an attempt to end his life. Mistilie's smile that she usually had returned as she continued to choke the stallion against the wall, growing with every second Rahzzy begins to struggle.

"Let him go, Mistilie!!" Rumham screams getting free from the mass amount of files that had him pinned down moments ago. The larger stallion rushes in, doing so causes Mistilie to turn the focus onto him instead of Rahzzy. The lasso disappears from Rahzzy's neck freeing him.

Mistilie uses her magic to levitate several boxes from their shelves sending them flying at Rumham to prevent the large stallion from reaching her. Rumham dodges the boxes coming face to face with Misiltie taking a swing with a hoof to her face, however, his swing is stopped as Mistilies magic grabs ahold of it.

"Try again ... " Mistilie says in a calm yet condescending tone, pushing Rumham back a couple feet with her magic. Rahzzy comes up from behind now, swinging a levitated box down onto Mistilie's head with his own magic. Mistilie falls to the ground, she screams pushing herself back up from the hit. "ONE AT A TIME!!!" With her magic, she grabs the two stallions pushing them back from her. As the mare slowly pushes herself up all the way, she looked weak after the hit from Rahzzy. Coco Pommel watches the mare from the distance having stayed out of this despite having seen everything so far. The android had been studying the fight up to this point. With Mistilie finally having been hit by surprise, the most interesting feature about the mare became visible. White blood slowly dripped slid down her cheek after being hit by the heavy box of files.

Rahzzy drops his weapon at the sight of the little blood coming from Mistilie, "You're an Android!? This whole time I was taking orders from a bucket of bolts?" Mistilie raises her head to look at the stallion, a smile grows across her muzzle having this revealed about her.

"I am Weyland's Greatest achievement ... unable to have a child was hard for him. So he made an android so real, you might as well consider me alive" Mistilie rushes forward to strike Rahzzy, however, Coco intercepts from the side knocking Misitlie to the ground.

"Then fight somepony your own size, Mistilie Flare" Coco looks down at Mistilie, the two androids would be a much fairer fight then Mistilie against the others. Getting off of Mistilie, Coco Pommel readies herself for a fight against Mistilie. "Scared that I might beat you? What do you think?"

"Oh, I am not scared of you ... " Mistilie gets up slowly, adjusting herself weakly. "In fact, I am ready to make you obsolete!!" Mistilie jumps forward tackling Coco Pommel through a doorway, the two androids tumble down a stairway on the other side. Sunset Shimmer adjust's herself when she was tripped by Mistilie the fall knocked the wind out of her lungs. Collecting herself she looks around the room to see everything. Rahzzy is being held back by Rumham, Rahzzy wanting to rush down the stairs to assist Coco in this fight. So much anger inside him towards the mare, looking around more the unicorn notices the two soldiers are still knocked out cold from having their heads smashed together like cymbals.

"Let me go Rumham! Mistilie is going to pay for this!! All of this!!!" Rahzzy screams struggling to break away from Rumham's grasp. The room was a mess from the fight, files scattered all over the floor, cracks in the wall. The worst of everything that has happened, a blood trail left by Iron Will, leading to where Twilight Sparkle was tossed aside to.
..................................................................................................................................................................................................

Celestia topples on the bridge as one of the flying Xenomorphs tackle her down, the dagger tongue snapping out trying to puncture into the Princess's chest. The Xenomorph Queen screams stomping away from the fight, several scorch marks across the alien's chest. Celestia uses her hooves to keep the attacking flyer from finishing her off, with one strong push she gets the beast off. Getting up fast to prepare herself for the alien to attack again, the Princess raises a brow in confusion as the Flying Alien takes off to get away from the bridge.

"Have I won this fight?" Celestia says between her heavy breathing, looking around the alicorn notices the bridge beginning to sway, with the bridge getting ready to collapse from under her she uses her large wings to take flight to the other side. "Where has your leader run off too? I hope she didn't plan on getting out of this that easy" Celestia uses her magic to light her path entering the Weyland Tower. The entrance to the building is very dark and full of dust, the place having been abandoned for so long.

"It appears as if others have already been here ... I hope they are alright" Celestia looks down at the floor to see that some of the dust has been disturbed in formations of faint hoofprints. Faint sounds of the alien creatures echo from the darkness of the room. Though Celestia is unable to see them in the shadows, she knows that the Xenomorphs are very close. "Not happy with me being here, creatures?" The Princess backs out of the tower entrance, even though she had only just arrived.

The sound of something large coming up from behind her echoes in her ear quickly, the mare's eyes widen and she turns around sending a magical wave from her horn to knock back what was coming to get some breathing room. Princess Celestia looks to the Xenomorph Queen, who was once again coming from behind.

"It is amazing how you keep sneaking around like that. How do you do it, creature?" Celestia opens her wings to get some air advantage. The Princess swoops over the head of the Queen to get behind the large Xenomorph. "Let's see how you like being hit from here!!" The alicorn's horn ignites with magic ready to unleash, the beam shoots out smashing into the back spines of the Xenomorph creating a loud cracking sound upon contacting. The Xenomorph roars in anger using its large tail to swing at the Alicorn. The large tail nearly misses the Princess, cutting off some of the alicorn's flowing mane strands.

As the Queen turns around the tail of the Xenomorph begins to give off a purple glow around it. As if the tail itself was a magical horn charging up to give off a magical strike. Celestia's eyes widen at the sight of this, the magic itself had a very familiar vibe that the Princess was familiar with.

"What is this? How is something like this ..." The Princess is yanked down from the sky from the Xenomorph Queen's magical pull. " Possible?" Celestia's eyes widen more as a large pair of hidden Wings stretches out from the Queen's backside. The Queen roars down at the Princess reaching out with one hand to grab the alicorn from the ground. Celestia moves away from the Queen stumbling with each hoofstep. "You just ... continue ... to amaze me, creature"

Celestia flaps her wings to get away from the Xenomorph Queen, however, the Queen uses one large flap of her own wings to reach up and grab the fleeing Sun Princess. Celestia struggled in the grasp of the large alien's grasp in an attempt to escape this. With every wiggle, the grip becomes tighter around her until Celestia finally gives up on it. The Queen Xenomorph presses her shaking lips against the cheek of the alicorn baring her long sharp fangs.

"I know you ... I don't know how!! Though I know you!!" Celestia screams feeling a presence with the Xenomorph that was familiar. Celestia takes a deep breath ready to use her royal voice again, "I KNOW YOU!!!"

Celestia feels the wind from the Queen's wings through her mane, the Xenomorph takes flight and several of the winged minions follow close behind. The Xenomorphs roar into the wind as if singing a victory song having won this little fight, the Queen angles herself to fly towards the source of the thick smoke that shadows over Canterlot City. Celestia struggles in the grasp as she was forced to follow, the sight of the crashed Encomi Space Station came into view. The Princess knew now that this is where the creatures planned to bring her. The Princess takes one more look behind to see the Weyland Tower disappearing into the thick smoke as she was being tugged further away from it.
..................................................................................................................................................................................................

Twilight opens her eyes and everything is a blur at first, she can see a trail of blood leading to a locked door. She can hear somepony on the other side trying to get inside. Asking for Iron Will to open it up, Twilight then knew who she was with. Iron Will has the small alicorn cradled in his arms and blood drips from his body slower than before. The Minotaur looks very pale from the blood loss.

As her eyes open fully she asks him, "What is ... going on?" Twilight weakly moves in Iron Will's arms, she is happy to see he is alright. As Iron Will looks down at her, however, the tears filling his eyes tell her he is not okay. "Iron Will ..."

"Twilight ..." Iron Will speaks weakly, with the blood he had lost he could hardly speak. Being this close to him revealed that when he was stabbed the blade was twisted and yanked to make the wound bigger. Twilight couldn't help herself but respond negatively either after being called by name.

"I am not Twilight ..." She looks away as tears fill her eyes, seeing him cry could make anypony cripple into tears. She feels his body shake as the Minotaur begins to cry in his words.

"Yes, y-you are ... I-I believe that" the tears in his eyes fall from their place, falling onto Twilight's fur. "I-I know you don't wanna call yourself t-that" Iron Will clenches his teeth from the pain he was feeling as he sat on the floor holding her. The blood dripping slower and slower from his body. Twilight turns her body and places a hoof on the large Minotaurs cheek in comfort in this situation. As she rests her hoof on his face, the tears have made the surface of his cheek wet like he had taken a shower.

"Don't go ... p-please, Iron Will" Twilight's words began to stutter as sadness fills her. She didn't want to believe this was his time, but it was impossible to deny now. "I already lost myself I c-cant loos you too" Iron Will's eyes slowly begin to close as he goes on with his tears. "Iron Will!! Wake up!!!"

"Oh, Twilight ... don't you see" Iron Will closes his eyes as a faint smile grows on his face, the smile is a peaceful one? "I will finally be waking up ... for the first time ... in a long time" Iron Will begins to go limper with his arms cradle that was holding Twilight up.

"Iron Will!! No!! I n-need everypony to help me!!" Twilight begins to slip from his grasp but she desperately reaches up to his face as the tears fall from her eyes.

"You will wake up too... Twilight" Iron Will goes limp and his final words comes out, "I believe that"

Twilight falls to the ground as the Minotaur finally passes, hitting the floor softly she rolls to her side and begins to scream her tears out of her eyes. Curling up the mare feels she has lost more now than before, she has lost herself and now a friend that she could trust. Trust with her true identity as a clone, trust her to finish what the real Twilight had started, all he ever did ... was trust in ponies.

The Hive

View Online

Twilight pushes herself off the ground looking back at Iron Will. Using her magic she pulls a tarp off one of the shelves in the room laying it over the Minotaur. The tears in Twilight's eyes don't fall, collecting at the bottom of her eyes. Twilight can hear the others on the other side of the door trying to get inside. The alicorn moves over to the wall placing her hoof on the surface taking a deep breath and a long sigh for everything that has been lost so far. Everything around the mare begins to darken, the memories of the past clouding her mind. Removing her hoof from the wall and placing it over her heart, the alicorn begins to stumble feeling weaker.

"I can't let anypony else die! The real Twilight wouldn't have let this happen!!" Twilight removes her hoof from her chest and slams it down on the ground, the held back tears fall down her face. The door slides open and Rahzzy enters the room, the stallion looks at the tarp.

"Oh, Celestia, the poor guy ... at least there will be no more suffering for him" Rahzzy adjusts himself to face Twilight Sparkle, having heard her talk down about herself the stallion does his best to change it. "Twilight, we can still fix this. It doesn't have to end here" Rahzzy looks into the alicorn's green eyes, placing his hoof on her shoulder in comfort. "We might be able to stop Mistilie and save Equestria"

"How can we stop what we cannot control, Rahzzy?" Twilight uses her magic to remove the stallion's hoof and another sigh would escape her muzzle. "There is nothing we can do and everything is falling apart"

"We might not be able to control them, however, I know you can" Rahzzy smiles referring to the condition of Queen Gene. "The Xenomorphs, you might be able to use them! To save everypony!!" Silence fills the room at the idea of attempting such a thing. The Xenomorphs have shown already that they will not harm the alicorn, like when the stallion on Encomi Station tried to attack her. One of the aliens came and killed the attacking stallion before he could harm Twilight. The idea of using the aliens to stop Mistilie had some possibility of working, just like the real Twilight Sparkle used the aliens to defeat White Lightning. However, despite the idea ... Twilight had only one question left to ask.

"Rahzzy? Where is Mistilie?"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Coco stop!!" Mistilie gasps ducking as a hoof goes over her head, Coco Pommel trying very hard to land another hit on the Unicorn Android, Mistilie. "Stop fighting for them!! What do they have to offer you?" Misitilie's horn glows with magic, which she uses to keep Coco Pommel still so she can get past to prevent being backed up into a wall.

"They offer me a life! A friendship!!" Coco screams wiggling in the magical grasp, the mare growling as her normally blue eyes begin to shift to a dark red color. "I will not stop!"

"Then die with them ..." Mistilie releases Coco Pommel before rushing in, knocking her to the ground with a big push. Coco smashes into the ground leaving an impact mark in the floor from the force she hit. Even with the force, Coco gets up quickly taking a swing smashing a hoof into the side of Mistilie's head. The force of the hit causes the unicorn android to spit out some white blood from her mouth. Pommel uses her mouth to bite down onto the back of Mistilie's neck pushing her to the ground. A wave of magic comes from Mistilie's horn pushing Pommel away, however, Coco comes back quickly pressing her hind hoof down onto Mistilie's throat. "I am not used to this ... the feeling of defeat"

Twilight Sparkle comes down the stairs with Rahzzy close behind. Twilight gasps seeing Mistilie's life actually ending, the alicorn's horn glows brightly reaching out to stop Coco from killing Mistilie Flare. Rahzzy rushes up in response to the situation and tries to pull Coco off of Mistilie. The enraged android uses her head to smack Rahzzy away from attempting to stop her. Coco pulls away because of the alicorn magic removing the hoof from Mistilie's neck, setting her free to get back up onto her hooves.

"Thank you ..." Mistilie smiles wiping the white blood from her lips.

"Mistilie!! I want you dead ... I just wanna do it myself" Rahzzy says with confidence, the stallion hating the mare more than anypony. "We just need you and that is the only thing stopping me from ending you right now"

"Such strong words for somepony like yourself, Rahzzy" Mistilie giggles keeping an eye on Coco Pommel while the enraged android is being held back by Twilight's magic. "You will never end me"

"Fuck you!" Rahzzy stomps a hoof unable to ignore Mistilie's words. "You are as big as a failure as your father! You won't be able to finish what you have started"

Mistilie laughs at her creator being brought up, the mare's pupils shrink like a camera lens adjusting for a better picture. Twilight continues to hold back Coco Pommel while Rahzzy and Mistilie continued their chat. Mistilie stops her little laugh and reveals something new about her relationship with her father, White Lightning.

" I am just upset I was unable to kill him myself" Mistilie levitates a rock up into the air, her evil glare returns as the unicorn looks over to Twilight Sparkle. Mistilie uses her magic to send the small rock flying through the air, it smacks into the side of the alicorns head. Twilight's magic halts releasing Coco Pommel, the hit from the rock makes the mare scream. The side of her head throbbing from the pain.

"Ow!! I just saved you from that fight, Mistilie" Twilight rubs the side of her head, speaking in whines as the throbbing increases on her head. "Oh Celestia that hurts!!"

Mistilie's grin grows as the sounds of roaring Xenomorphs echo throughout the building after the rock hit Twilight. Rahzzy's ears pin back as all his confidence drains from his body, Coco Pommel looks around the room to try and pinpoint the location the aliens might come from.

"Looks like they don't like their PonyQueen getting hurt," Mistilie says this as she turns to run away from the area, before running away, however, she uses her magic to rip a large loose pipe from the wall. "Don't follow me ... I can guarantee you won't like what I do too you"

"Mistilie!! I will find you!!" Rahzzy screams as the mare sprints out of the room, the stallion looks over to Twilight Sparkle to make sure she is okay. The sounds of the Xenomorphs increasing in volume as the creatures were getting closer to the location. Rumham and Sunset Shimmer come running from the stairs, the sound of gunfire echoing from the top of the staircase. The two soldiers who came with Sunset Shimmer from earlier are not there, their screams in the distance make it obvious they stayed behind to face the Aliens.

Rumham screams as he sprints towards the rest of the group, stumbling in his strides from the fear filling up inside of him. "Run!! Run, Run, Run!!! We have to get out of here now!" Rumham doesn't hesitate a second and uses his strength to scoop up Twilight Sparkle onto his back with his head. "Go now, those things are right behind us, move it!"

A large Xenomorph breaks through the thin doorway at the bottom of the stairwell, the carapace of the Xenomorphs head is much like the Queen's. This xenomorph though being much smaller, the alien roars getting down on all fours to fit itself in the room without scrapping its large head on the ceiling of the room. The large xenomorph shakes to get the debris from the wall off its body, turning to the group and Twilight Sparkle. Coco Pommel is the second to run, the android separating from the group to follow the direction Mistilie took to flee. Rumham and the others sprint the opposite direction to get away from the Xenomorphs. Windows smash from the outside as the Xenomorph Warriors bust through to get inside the tower.

"What about Coco!? She went the other way, Rumham" Rahzzy screams looking back at the incoming Xenomorphs as they run away.

"She will be fine!! We won't if we don't stay focused, Rahzzy! Keep Running!!" Rumham turns to one of the closed doors of the room, using all his body weight he smashes against the door. Breaking it open the stallion looks back to the others and screams. "Everypony inside now!!" There is a bright flash inside the room and smoke fills the room as the group enters. The smoke making it impossible to see anything inside the room, however, Rahzzy hears something moving inside the room with them.
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................

"NO!! Let go of me ... I can't fight anymore ..." Celestia struggles as she is pinned up against the slime-covered walls of the room. The Alicorn uses her hind hooves to kick the Xenomorph Drone, the Alien squeals from the impact of the large mare's hoof. This almost allows Celestia to escape, however, a second Drone comes down from above grabbing onto the large alicorn. The two Xenomorphs use their strength to lift her up onto the sticky surface of the wall, holding her still up against the wall.

"Get off of me, Bastards!!" Celestia wasn't the one to usually speak like this. Right now, however, she feels in danger enough to start letting loose with her words. One of the drones climbs up onto the wall, thick slime dripping from the mouth of the Xenomorph. It begins using the spit like glue, rubbing its's open mouth over the alicorns body and the slime begins to bind her to the wall the creatures have her pinned against. A third Xenomorph crawls on the wall from above until its large head hovers in front of Celestia's face, the Xenomorph roars smashing its large head into the alicorns face knocking her out on impact.

Waking up from what feels like seconds later, Celestia groans from having been hit so hard in her face. The room is no longer occupied by the drones from earlier. A thick amount of slime covers the Alicorn keeping her tightly on the wall so she cannot move. Taking a moment to look around she notices something strange about the slime that covers her body, a small area of her body is left untouched by the slime and it is a small portion of her chest area.

"What have you done to me ..." Celestia stares at a cluster of large egg structures in front of her. They all seemed to be unhatched if they are eggs. The mare takes a deep breath and begins to wiggle under the slime, as soon as she begins, one of the eggs in front of her opens slowly at the top. The large egg peeling open like a banana, a small spider creature crawls out from the egg creating a squeaking sound as it exits the egg.

"What in Equestria!?!?" Celestia's horn ignites with magic that shoots out in a beam smashing into one of the eggs. The egg explodes and the creature scurries away from it towards the large Alicorn. "I see you!! Get away, you foul creature!" Shooting another beam towards the creature as it lunges from the ground towards her, the beam slices the little creature in half.

A second egg opens and a facehugger scurries out from it running towards Celestia. The Alicorn notices once again, with a magical shot from her horn the mare blasts the little creature to bits before it can get close. A third egg opens, another facehugger sprints out but quickly leaps from the ground and towards the Princess. Another magical beam and the creature pops like an apple shot with a gun. A fourth egg opens and another facehugger leaps up into the air, Celestia fires a magical beam almost too late and the creature is shot out of the air in the nick of time.

"What is happening!!?? Please stop this nightmare!" Celestia's eyes glaze over as fear takes over, a fifth egg opens up and it is the last egg in the room with her. "Stop it!!" Celestia shoots her magic and misses the creature as it leaves its egg. The Facehugger runs across the floor in a zig-zag pattern heading towards Celestia. The way the creature moved it looks like it was going to get ready to leap. Celestia fires a second beam of magic at the little creature, the tears in her eyes making it hard to see. The beam zooms just above the facehugger smashing into the wall behind it.

"NO!!" Celestia's horn recharges with magic and the alien leaps up into the air, everything seems to slow down for the Alicorn and she focuses to make one more shot at the creature. The beam shoots from her horn, smashing into the center of the facehugger's body. The blood from the creature sprays down onto the Alicorns head.

"GAAAHHHHH!!!" The blood begins to burn at the mares chin and cheek on her face, smoke billowing off the side of her face. Screaming from the pain the blood is causing to her face, the tears fall from her eyes onto the floor below. The smoke acidic blood of the Xenomorph continues to slowly burn into the alicorn's face. The sound of a hidden sixth egg opening echoes in the dark room. "HELP ME!!"
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................

The smoke fills the room and from the smoke, a purple coated mare steps out reaching out to the group. The pony has a saddle on her back, strapped to the sides of the saddle are two active flamethrowers. She screams at Rahzzy and the others, the smoke beginning to clear from the room.

"Get out of the way now!! Get inside the door behind me!" The Purple mare readies herself as the Xenomorphs begin to surround the room. Rahzzy ducks and hurries behind the mystery mare with the weapons, as soon as everypony is out of the way, the mare bites down on a lever attached to the saddle and the flamethrowers shoot out a burst of flames. The Xenomorphs begins backing away as the flames consume them outside the room.

"You heard her!! Get in here now!" A stallion steps out from a door waving at everypony to get inside, "Come on!"

Even with the flames pushing the Xenomorphs back, the windows of the room smash as the aliens start coming from other directions to get inside. The Purple mare shakes off her saddle and hurries to the room and Sunset Shimmer, Rahzzy, Rumham, and Twilight Sparkle hurry to follow.

A Xenomorph Drone crawls inside from behind reaching out to the fleeing ponies, the flames from the flamethrowers spreading throughout the area. The Drone grabs the hind hooves of Sunset Shimmer causing her to trip and she smashes against the ground.

"No!! Help Me!" Sunset Shimmer screams kicking to try and get free, Rahzzy turns around and the stallion's adrenaline kicks in. Rushing towards Sunset Shimmer he attempts to help. Twilight Sparkle and Rumham were already safe on the other side and Twilight could do nothing but watch as Rumham was still holding her.

A ventilation shaft from above breaks open from above, the xenomorphs finding more ways to get past the flames. Rahzzy stops in his tracks, slowly looking up as thick spit falls down on top of his head before he can begin helping Sunset Shimmer.

"Holy Shit! NO!!!" Rahzzy tries to get away, however, the Xenomorph above reaches out grabbing the stallion quickly. The Alien pulls the stallion up into the dark ventilation, the stallion's kicking hind legs are the last thing seen as he is tugged up. Sunset Shimmer struggles against the attackers. Reaching out as the door to safety closes shut on her, Twilight Sparkle breaks from Rumhams grasp and she slams up against the closed door that now keeps her from getting to Sunset Shimmer.

"No! Sunset!! RAHZZY!" Twilight's eyes widen and she slams her hooves onto the steel door. "Open the door! I CAN SAVE THEM!!"

The purple mare comes up from behind pulling Twilight away from the door, however, the alicorn breaks free quickly from the mystery mare with a quick burst of magic from her horn. Rumham gets up attempting to calm Twilight Sparkle down. The roars of the Xenomorphs echo from the other side of the closed door. Sunset Shimmers screams become muffled and before everything goes quiet everypony hears one more cry for help from Shimmer's screams.

"TWILIGHT!!! HELP ME!!"

The Weylands

"Twilight Sparkle!! Please calm down!" The mystery mare does her best to calm down the angered alicorn, however, with everything that has just happened. Twilight doesn't show any signs of calming down quickly. The Mystery Mare dodges away from Twilight as the alicorn uses her magic to swing a loose pipe from the wall at her.

"You locked them out there!! Get away from me now!!!" Twilight growls readying her pipe for a swing if anypony got too close. "You locked them outside to die!! Who do you think you are!?"

"My name is Violet and I work for Weyland Yutani" The Mystery Mare reveals her name, knowing there was no time to hide anything. Violet dodges out of the way as the pipe is thrown in her direction soon after revealing herself. "There is no time for grudges, Miss Sparkle. We just saved your life"

The memories given by the real Twilight Sparkle tell the clone everything that was remembered about Weyland Yutani. The company easily betraying a pony for a benefit and worst of all the company has already spent plenty of time hunting down Twilight Sparkle. The Queen Gene that Twilight possessed being the biggest reason for the suffering the real Twilight Sparkle had gone through since the fall of Valuntas Station.

"Why are you here? Looking for a use out of my condition? Like everypony else!!" Twilight stands up looking at Violet with studying eyes, concerned that everything was about to get worse.

"Twilight ... Weyland Yutani never wanted to hurt you for the Gene" Violet closes her eyes turning her head away as sadness fills her voice. "Do you think bringing harm to a princess would have benefited the company? You got our leader killed believing we would hurt you" Violet's eyes open again and she looks to the alicorn shaking her head in disappointment. "Weyland Yutani is a company you could have trusted and that is because of the fact that we only will betray you if it benefits the company. Otherwise ... we truly mean good"

"Like it matters anymore ..." Rumham says getting up from his seat brushing the dust from his shoulder and his Weyland Badge. "Because of everypony losing faith in the company, we were shut down by the Princesses" Rumham focuses his stare at Twilight Sparkle with a hint of anger. "With the help of your death of course"

"Then why did I wake up a prisoner!? Turns out Mistilie was a Weyland this entire time and all she has done is brought pain, confusion, and suffering since then" Twilight's eyes water up as she holds back tears, thinking back to Iron Will's death.

Violet's eyes widen when she hears Mistilie's name, it was obvious the name clicked in her head. The Purple mare shook her head, being very quick to butt in and correct everything.

"Mistilie Flare works on her own agendas, Twilight." Violet takes a deep breath before continuing on. "Created by White Lightning to aid space pioneers in finding our Origins. It was too late when we discovered that Misitlie had murderous intentions to her own creators"

The echoes of Xenomorphs moving through the ventilation of the complex boom throughout the room. The Aliens trying to find a way to get inside again. Violet looks to the ceiling with a nervous look on her face, she was out of flame and no way to defend herself from the animals. Rumham groans, grinding his teeth together in frustration of everything that was happening. Twilight's eyes flash green as soon as the Xenomorphs begin to make noise around them, the alicorn tilts her head confused with what Violet was saying.

"Mistilie was far off in space when we finally found out her intentions ... never thought did we expect her creativity to reach this extent" Violet continues in a whisper, as to not attract the Xenomorphs. "I am sure by now you have heard of The Signal? Misitlie sent it out as a threat ... that if we didn't change our ways"

"She would kill us all ..." Twilight finishes the rest of the sentence on her own. The alicorn's eyes beginning to glow brighter as the sounds of the Xenomorphs grew louder and louder all around them. "Why would you give an Android the ability to create?"

Rumham and Violet both look at each other with a faint smile on their faces, chuckling at the thought of what a horrible idea it really was to give an android that much willpower. Rumham hesitantly moves forward leaning in to whisper into Twilight's ear. The stallion not wanting to take any chances in making the Aliens angry like earlier.

"White Lightning wanted a daughter ... he just didn't think she would want to kill him" Rumham chuckles more, not knowing himself what being a father was like. "Didn't want to restrict her because it wouldn't be real enough"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Rahzzy's eyes open and all he can see is blackness around him, strapped up against a wall by thick slime the stallion was quick to figure out where he was. Looking around slowly with his eyes to locate Sunset Shimmer and any signs that a facehugger had hugged his face. Luckily there wasn't even an egg in sight or any facehuggers and Sunset Shimmer was strapped to the wall in front of Rahzzy, she was waking up herself.

"Sunset, pssst!! Are you okay?" Rahzzy does his best to be quiet, not wanting to let the Xenomorphs know he was awake. The stallion begins to wiggle a bit to loosen the grip of the slime. "Just stay calm ... we are going to get out of this"

"Rahzzy? I am not sure you realized that we are seriously fucked" Sunset Shimmer lowers her head to look at the ground. She is already ready to give up hope at this point. "I am going to get pregnant by one of these serpent fuckers!!"

"Don't give up that easy, there aren't even eggs in this room, you have got to have a little faith" Rahzzy uses his magic to pull a knife from his saddle bag to hopefully cut himself free. "I am going to cut myself free"

Sunset Shimmer shakes her head and laughs a little at Rahzzy's confidence at actually getting out of this. She wasn't even sure they were even still in Weyland Tower, or in a completely new location entirely. Rahzzy begins to saw at the slime holding him up and slowly he begins to cut himself free. As the stallion cuts at the slime a loud hiss echoes from one of the hallways of the hive structure they were inside of.

"What was that?" Rahzzy stops sawing at the slime after hearing what sounded like something big on its way, "No time to find out! I am getting out of this and so are you, Sunset Shimmer"

Rahzzy saws faster as the loud hissing begins to get closer and closer, the sound of thundering footsteps echoes now from the same hallway. Rahzzy cuts his way through the final strap of slime, he falls to the ground with a loud thud. The Stallion gets up quickly moving to Sunset Shimmer. Slipping on the wet floor of the hive the stallion almost falls several times on the way there.

"Rahzzy!! Hurry!!!" The mare's voice no longer filled with doubt but fear instead. "I don't wanna die like this!" The mare turns her head to look at the hallway to see what was coming. The shiny dome head of a Xenomorph Drone would quickly become visible. "RAHZZY!!!"

The Drone wags it's long tail turning to face where Rahzzy was standing, the creature bared its teeth in the darkness and from a distance, the snarl looks like a smile. Rahzzy tries to saw faster but the knife gets caught up inside the slime, Sunset Shimmer uses her magic to grab a hold of the knife to help get it free.

"RAHZZY LOOK OUT!!" Sunset screams as the Drone rush forward knocking the stallion to the ground with one ram of its large dome head. "Rahzzy!!!"

After knocking Rahzzy to the ground the drone reaches down grabbing onto the stallion's legs pulling him across the floor. The Alien roars as if angry with the stallion escaping the slime trap. Sunset Shimmer rips the knife from the slime and stars sawing away at the slime to get free to help Rahzzy out of this attack.

"Get it off me!! Get this fucking thing away from me!!!" Rahzzy screams feeling the talons of the creature digging into his hind legs. "HELP ME!!!"

The drone pulls the stallion in close until the face of the creature is staring down into the stallion's eyes. The Xenomorph opens its mouth revealing its dagger tongue hiding inside, raising its tail up into the air ready to impale the stallion on the ground like a kabob. Rahzzy closes his eyes not wanting to see the creature, afraid this was going to be the end of him. With its mouth wide open, ready to strike down the stallion. The creature teasingly presses the tip of the inner jaw onto the stallions forehead. Like it was readying for a perfect aim into Rahzzy's head, Sunset Shimmer at this point jumps from behind shoving the knife into the neck of the Drone.

"Get off of him you Ugly Bitch!!" Sunset Shimmer yells now free from the slime prison, the Xenomorph grabs the knife with one hand letting go of Rahzzy as it screams into the air in pain.

The tail of the Xenomorph's tail swings back smashing into Sunset Shimmer's side knocking her away. The Drone getting off of Rahzzy and turning its attention towards Sunset now. The knife melting away because of the acidic blood inside the alien. The Drone reaches out to grab the mare but Rahzzy gets up in anger, the stallion generates a fire spell shooting a burst of flame at the Alien.

"Sunset!! Get out of here now!!" Rahzzy screams continuing his spell to keep the large Xenomorph from attacking more, The Alien screams trying to get away from the flames. "Go now!!"

...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Coco smashes into the wall creating cracks, slowly her body slides down the surface until she comes to a stop on the ground. Mistilie tosses her pipe to the side growling at the fallen Android, walking slowly up to Coco Pommel with angry eyes. Coco looks up to Mistilie with a smile on her face, coughing a little but seeming mostly unfazed by the hit.

"I told you not to follow me!! You didn't listen!!!" Mistilie uses her magic to lift a brick off the ground ready to strike Coco in the head. "Just stay away from me!!!"

Coco uses her hind leg to quickly trip Mistilie knocking her down to the ground, Coco rolls on the ground until on top of Misitlie Flare. Pushing down with both hooves pinning the unicorn to the ground. Mistilie struggles against the strength of the upgraded Android.

"Mistilie!! We were created by the same stallion, White Lightning!!" Coco tries to reason by mentioning her and Mistilie's creator but it only brings more anger to Mistilie.

"Stop talking and kill me!!!" Mistilie growls pushing against Coco Pommel.

"No!! I wanted to kill you before because I was angry" Coco struggles holding back the angry unicorn, however, manages to keep her still. "I don't wanna hurt you unless I have too!!"

Mistilie slowly begins to calm down, listening for the first time, instead of immediately attacking for what she believes in. The unicorn looks up into the eyes of her Android Sister and her struggling comes to a complete stop. The two mares stay quiet for a moment, Coco hesitantly loosening her pin on Mistilie.

"Older Sister ... You have made some mistakes" Coco's voice was weak, having fought for too long now. "You can fix those mistakes. You just have to help us!!"

The smoke from Encomi Station flood in from the broken windows of the room. Everything begins to fog up, making it hard to see exactly what was around them. The Xenomorphs outside the tower roaring can be heard roaring into the sky, the screams of the remaining ponies of Canterlot were becoming less frequent as they began to all die out. Coco pulls herself off of Mistilie allowing the mare to stand up.

"Maybe ... Maybe you are right, Coco?" Mistilie's voice was soft and raspy. Like she was tired from the fighting as much as Coco Pommel was. "I don't think though that I can come with you"

"Mistilie ... Equestria is running out of time" Coco's ears pinned back against her head, pleading to the creator to bring a stop to her creations was the only option Coco has left. "Please Mistilie"

"Unfortunately, I still don't care about you ... or Equestria" Mistile leaps forward knocking Coco Pommel to the ground. The smoke from outside still building up inside the room. The two androids roll across the ground until smashing into a wall nearby. Mistilie grabbing Coco by the mane with her magic, ramming the head of the Coco repeatedly into the wall to dizzy her circuits. "I NEVER WILL!!!"

Using her magic to levitate the pipe from earlier up like a spear, Mistilie takes aim shoving the pipe into the back of Coco Pommel. Coco's eyes widen and white blood sprays from the android's mouth. The pipe shoving through the guts of the android quickly, like it was sharpened somehow. Despite Coco being an Android, tears fall from the robot's eyes onto the floor.

"Sorry Sister ..." Mistilie whispers into Coco's ear softly, "I always wanted to be a lonely child"

Mistilie's eyes flash a variety of colors as the android begins extracting data from Coco Pommel. Her hoof shoved inside the wound that the pipe left behind. The Unicorn smiles as her eyes stop flashing, the data transfer was complete. Removing her hoof from the body of the other android. Coco is still alive but too weak to attempt stopping Mistilie Flare, The unicorn Android cleans the white blood off her hoof by wiping it on the side of the dying Coco. Mistilie's eyes flicker for a moment, changing to the shade of blue that usually was Coco Pommel's eye color before returning to the normal rainbow array.

"Don't worry, Pommel" Mistilie walks to the exit with a cocky sway in her strides. "You shouldn't die from this, however, if you somehow do. Remember there is no Android Heaven waiting for you"

Mistilie exits closing the door behind her, the android headed for the exit of the tower. Exiting the large building the unicorn is greeted with the vehicle they used to get up to the elevated structure. Getting inside the craft the unicorn didn't wait to think about what to do. Turning on the ship and leaving the tower is exactly what she does, adjusting herself to become more comfortable in her seat while driving. Misitlie uses one hoof to wipe her eyes clean, almost like she was wiping away tears if she had any. The craft is aimed at Canterlot Castle, even if the likely hood of anypony important being there was slim to none.

"They are going to fight ..." Mistilie looks out the window of the craft to the Xenomorphs below with a frown on her face. The android feeling a bit defeated already. "If it is a fight ... I am ready for it ponies of Equestria"

The ship slows to a stop, hovering over the balcony of the castle before landing. The ships loud engine causes a couple Xenomorphs from the balcony, the aliens hurry away to not get crushed by the craft. The engines hiss to a stop and the door to the vehicle opens with Mistilie exiting the craft. One of the Xenomorphs stands up on its hind legs looking back at the android before roaring and scurrying away.

"Twilight Sparkle ... I should have left you too die. We could have made this so much easier!!" Mistilie's eyes flicker as she screams in anger. Stomping into the castle and the wreak it now was, tables turned over onto the ground, bodies of the guards left on the ground to rot away. The blood of the murdered ponies of the castle stained the walls and floors of the hallways. Mistilie shakes her head and continues down the hallway to the throne room, the doors already opened wide from the struggle here.

"H-Help me ..." A guard reaches out to Mistilie, missing the lower half of his body there wasn't much hope for the stallion guard. "Please help me"

Mistilie doesn't even look to the stallion as she passes by the dying guard. The Droid's eyes continue to flicker and Android tears begin to grow in her eyes as she gets closer to the empty thrones of the room. Stomping one hoof down onto the floor it echoes in the lifeless room like a gunshot.

"THIS ISN'T WHAT I WANTED!!! EQUESTRIA CAN YOU HEAR ME!!!" Mistilie screams at the top of her lungs at the ceiling enraged by how this attack has gone so far, using her magic she picks up the half-corpse of the downed stallion throwing it into the wall. In a way bringing peace to the dying stallion but to her, it was a way to relieve her own stress of this. "I could have had control!! Fate let Twilight getaway!!"

Mistilie leaves the throne room in a sprint as the anger fills her, going back to the balcony she screams to the open sky falling to the ground as her uncontrollable emotions take over. The Queen Gene that Twilight possessed is what has the mare on edge. Everything can be brought to a halt because that gene gave the alicorn control over the Xenomorphs. That is if the ponies figure that out and use it to defeat the android.

"This isn't over!!! It will never be over, Twilight Sparkle!!" Mistilie's eyes widen after saying the name again to herself, remembering something critical about everything. "Though ... you are just a clone of her"
.......................................................................................................................................................................................

Rahzzy's flames are brought to a stop as two Warrior Xenomorphs reach from behind pulling him away from burning the Drone any further. The Stallion gasps feeling the tails of the Xenomorphs wrap around his hind legs pulling him back, The Drone freed from the flames screams recovering itself from the magical attack. Enraged by it the alien gets down on all fours as the Warriors force Rahzzy onto his back on the floor, the Drone crawling over to get on top of the downed stallion.

"Nooo!! Please!!" Rahzzy kicks and screams as he tries to break free, however, the Drone pushes down now on top of the pony. "Help!! Me!!!" The drone growls opening its mouth wide, the lips of the creature shakes, spit dripping from the alien's fangs as it readies to kill Rahzzy off.

The Aliens suddenly stop, however, turning their heads away from Rahzzy. The Xenomorphs look towards Sunset Shimmer who had made her way to the other end of the open hallway. Though Rahzzy couldn't see what was going on he knew she was doing something to provoke the creatures. The Warriors and Drone let go of Rahzzy and hesitantly start crawling along the walls towards Sunset Shimmer.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" Sunset Shimmer aims a magical blast at one of the eggs in the room she was in, like a threat to the Xenomorphs. "Come on ... COME ON!!"

The Xenomorphs wag their tails as they crawl on the walls of the hallway slowly getting closer to where Sunset was standing. Rahzzy pushes himself up from the ground groaning in pain from being pulled around by the Xenomorphs. The Stallion looks to Sunset with wide eyes shaking his head seeing how fucked this really was.

The Drone drops down from the wall onto the floor in front of Sunset Shimmer. The warriors keeping away crawling up into the ceiling into some ventilation ducts up above.

Sunset looks up at the creature as it towers above her, the Drone roars leaping forward to tackle the mare to the ground. A bright light from the side flashes and a beam of magic rush into the room smashing into the large Xenomorph creating a massive hole in the dome head of the alien. The body flies away from Sunset Shimmer, however, the unicorn dodges out of reflex.

"What the fuck!?" Rahzzy screams seeing this from a distance, unsure if Sunset Shimmer had created the beam or not. The answer to his question came as Princess Celestia steps out from the darkness of another hallway. "Princess!!! Celestia!!!??"

Celestia stumbles in her walk as she moves over to check on Sunset Shimmer, Rahzzy rushes down the hallway to get with the two mares. Sunset Shimmer looks at the Princess, knowing she too had a rough time here. Large scars on the right side of the mares face from some blood of a Xenomorph and red blood on her body like patchwork.

"Are you two alright? Did you get infected by one of these monsters?" Celestia asks in a calm, yet very tired voice. "I have seen how they breed ... it is something horrid"

"Celestia, we are okay! What happened to you?" Sunset Shimmer moves closer to the Princess examining the wound on the face of the alicorn. Celestia lowers her head so the unicorn can better examine the burns, the alicorn closes her eyes before speaking any further.

"I fear that Equestria is going to come to an end, My Little Ponies" Celestia nods after saying this, it seems the strongest has now given up hope.

"We still have a chance!! We can win this fight!" Rahzzy does his best to boost confidence, it seems to him that he was the only one who believes this anymore. "We just need to get to ..."

"Get to ...? "Celestia questions the pause, opening her eyes to look at the stallion. Rahzzy gulps remembering that the Princess is unaware that Twilight Sparkle on Equestria. The Stallion bites his lip hesitant but knows it has to be said eventually. "What is it? Come forward Stallion"

"Twilight Sparkle ... she is alive, Celestia"
...............................................................................................................................................................................................

"You can save us through them, Twilight!! You used the Xenomorphs to take out White Lightning" Violet steps forward with the plan, one that both Rumham and Her agree with. "You have done it before, Twilight, the Queen Gene could save Equestria"

Twilight steps away shaking her head, not disagreeing with the plan, trying to speak but unable as Violet continues with the idea of the plan. Violet smiles and looks to one of the thick glass windows of the room and on the other side of it, a Xenomorph was visible searching the area. It was unaware of them looking at it from the other side.

"Look!! You could control that thing right now, Twilight!" Violet smiles stepping over to the glass and pointing at the Warrior Xenomorph outside. "We could save lives!"

"I AM NOT TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!" Twilight screams stepping over to stand at the side of Violet, stomping one hoof down on the floor to show she was angry. "I have been trying to tell everypony the whole time!! I am a clone of her!!"

Violet's eyes widened, she didn't know anything about this. Rumham turns away keeping his eyes on a tablet he was holding pretending to know nothing as well. Twilight looks out the window able to see her own reflection on the glass, opening her mouth she looks at her fully grown fangs before closing her mouth and continuing to rant.

"I look and sound like her, however, I can never be her. I wouldn't even know how to begin being her" Twilight looks to the alien outside the window and her eyes glow a bright green. As soon as she does the alien looks over to the glass window to look at her. "Twilight Sparkle is dead ... I don't know what I am. I guess that leaves me with no choice but to give this a try"

"Twilight ..." Violet reaches out but her hoof his pushes away by Twilights wing as it opens. Violet nods stepping away to give the alicorn some space.

"I am not her ..." Twilight looks through the glass placing her hoof on the surface, the Xenomorph looks into the glass raising one hand up placing it over where Twilight had her hoof. The glass is the only thing between her and the beast, the Xenomorph seemed to be in a trance of some kind when Twilight's eyes were glowing.

Rumham turns around in his seat and butts into the conversation, he sounds happy as he speaks too. The stallion turns his tablet around and reveals a map of Canterlot. The map has a blinking red dot, hovering over where Canterlot Castle stands.

"Found her!! Mistilie is at Canterlot Castle!"Rumham grins feeling like he has a chance. "Looks like she can be tracked like any other android"

Twilight looks at the Xenomorph trying to stop thinking back to when Encomi Crashed, when the real Twilight Sparkle died next to her. The clone nods and looks over to Violet ... not knowing exactly why she wanted to try this but agreeing to do this anyways.

"I will do it!!" Twilight shouts loudly to quiet Rumham and anypony else who might deside to speak up, "It might be the only way left to save Equestria. By using what is killing it off ... I might have an idea how to deal with them after we stop Mistilie"

Twilight's Gashing Origins

View Online

Violet, Rumham, and Twilight exit the top of the tower onto the balcony of the large structure. The view of Canterlot was shadowed by the smoke from both the city itself and Encomi Station's crash site. Rumham runs to the edge of the tower looking down into the smoke taking a couple pictures with his tablet of the area. Violet follows close behind to get a view of the area as well. Twilight steps out onto the balcony, her green eyes glowing brighter than ever before. The Alicorn has never actually used the ability itself until now. Only the real Twilight has used the abilities subtle abilities.

"So how are we getting off of this tower?" Rumham puts his tablet away and chuckles a bit to himself. "Twilight is the only one with wings"

"There was a craft up here ... I am afraid that the remains of my crew took off without me" Violet places a hoof on her forehead coming to the realization that she was abandoned here. "Maybe there is another way?"

Rumham watches as Twilight's eyes flash brightly, as soon as her irises illuminated. The sound of large wings echoes from the smoke. Twilight eyes something in the distance, her face expression is intense concentration. Hearing the wings, Violet turns around to see a large Winged Warrior swoop out of the smoke towards the balcony. The large Alien comes to a halt with one flap of its large wings landing on the balcony, the alien appears to be in some sort of trance.

"This is incredible ... she summoned the creature for a ride" Violet stares in fascination. Rumham shakes his head concerned by the ability to do this. "Ever road a Xenomorph before?"

"Maybe we could get a cab? I would rather not trust the thing.." Rumham watches as Twilight gets onto the back of the creature. The Alicorn was extremely hesitant, her body shaking in fear as she got onto the Xenomorph, the only way to see how much the creatures trusted her was to just try everything. The Xenomorph remains in a trance, the thick drool dropping from its mouth onto the ground. "Please, can we get a cab!? Oh, Celestia ... this is just a terrible plan"

Twilight whistles at the Xenomorph and the large creature roar into the sky before taking flight, swooping forward the Alien grabs tightly grabbing onto Rumham and Violet, in a big hug like fashion. The balcony would disappear quickly behind them, the alien would aim its head towards the Castle, the body would follow and soon they would be on course to it. Twilight stares at the castle in front of them, the towering structure barely visible through the thick black smoke surrounding it. The Alien didn't take very long to reach the destination, being able to fly fast and accurately through the smoke. A large balcony of the castle is what the creature lands onto, before landing completely the Xenomorph lets go of Rumham and Violet so they wouldn't get crushed on landing.

"Oh shit!!" Rumham falls to the ground reaching out for something to catch himself, the fall isn't that high but he would have rather been set down nicely. "Okay ... that is something I want to never experience again, Twilight!! If you could not summon any more aliens until we find Mistilie. I would appreciate that VERY much"

Twilight slowly lets herself slide off the back of the Alien, the creature taking off as soon as the alicorn is safely on the ground. She nods and looks around as if seeing the large castle for the first time, the entire building was beautifully crafted and looks amazing still, even with blood stains literally covering everything. Rumham pushes open the doors and does his best not to throw up, bodies laying all over the hallway, blood on the floor and walls.

"Not really fair ... don't you think?" The voice of Mistilie comes from behind them and the doors to the balcony close as soon as everypony was inside the castle. Mistilie steps out from behind one of the large curtains flowing by a window of the hallway. The Android uses her magic to use the fabric like a noose, the curtain stretching out and wrapping around Violet's neck before tieing it tightly.

"Mistilie!!" Rumham screams, before the stallion can even ready to fight the Android, a hind hoof smashes into his ribcage with a crack. Mistilie then rushes forward pushing the stallion back towards an open door leading to some stairs, "No, no, no, no!!"

Mistilie grins as the stallion balances himself at the top step to prevent himself from falling, the Android levitates a small scroll from a shelf nearby up and lightly tosses it at the stallion's head. It was just enough to cause him to lose balance and tumble down the staircase. Twilight's watches in shock of how quick the android was at executing all of this without messing it up.

"Hello Twilie, come to kill me?" Mistilie rushes past the alicorn using her magic to bring the alicorn to a sitting posture on a nearby chair. Violet struggling on the ground to break out of the tightly wrapped fabric on her neck, Rumham down the stairs by now. It was just Twilight Sparkle and Mistilie now and Mistilie already has the upper hoof on the situation. "Have I ever hurt you? I was there for you on Encomi Station and this is how you repay me"

"You are a murderer Mistilie!! I have never had this much pain before!" Twilight snarls in her seat that she was forced to sit on. The Alicorn looking over with her eyes at the choking Violet, the mare seems to be losing consciousness because the rope was tied too tightly. Mistilie's blank facial expression grew into a smile and the Android slowly moved closer getting up to sit on Twilight's lap. Twilight just watches as the Android does this, confusion growing not sure exactly what was going on.

"You know ..." Mistilie sits down taking both of her hoofs and resting them around Twilight's neck, the Android stairs down into the Alicorns Alien Eyes with a smile. "Clone ... Twilight Sparkle, look what you are becoming and just really think for a moment" Mistilie uses one of her hooves to open the alicorns mouth revealing the Xenomorph Fangs.

Twilight spits the hoof out of her mouth and shakes her body in the seat, hoping to get Mistilie off of her. The Android doesn't budge, remaining seated on the alicorns lap. The Android lowers her muzzle closer to Twilight's and a light blush grows on Mistilie's face.

"I created them and you possess their genes, I am literally the only pony who could ever love you" Mistilie moves her head a little closer and giggles to herself. "For what you are, Twilight"

Before Mistilie could go any further with this, Twilight uses her magic to pull the Android away with one tug. Mistilie falls onto her back with a loud thud, the Android groaning annoyed with being rejected this way. Perhaps Mistilie was hoping to win the alicorn over? For some type of control over the Xenomorphs by having the alicorn at her side. Unfortunately for the Android, Twilight only wants one thing from the evil droid.

"Get away from me!! You know why I am here, Mistilie" Twilight stomps one hoof flaring her wings. The Alicorn's eyes begin to illuminate a bright green. The Xenomorph's in the area roar in the distance as soon as the alicorn does this. Mistilie gets up stepping back, feeling a bit intimidated by the alicorns ability.

"I was afraid you would say that I was hoping we could settle this peacefully?" Mistilie flinches as the sound of the Xenomorphs busting in through the windows echoes from just down the hallway. "Twilight Sparkle ... you don't understand the power you have"

Violet finally manages to pull the fabric off of her neck, gasping for air the mare looks around to collect herself but the sounds of the Alien's entering the area is enough for Violet to get up and out of the hallway. Opening one of the doors slamming it shut behind her to hide away. Twilight's eyes glow brighter and the brighter they glow the more sounds of Xenomorphs echoed throughout the Castle.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................

Celestia looks from above at the sight, the Xenomorphs climbing all over the outside walls of the Castle. Rahzzy and Sunset Shimmer look as well, being carried on the Princess's back. The Aliens seem to be in a hurry as all the ones in the area rush towards the castle as if being called to war. Rahzzy shakes his head, concerned that Twilight may be the cause of this wave of Xenomorphs to the Castle.

"I think she is down there!! We have to find a way to get inside safely!!!" Rahzzy screams loudly so Celestia could hear him. Without hesitation the Princess swoops down to get closer to the castle, there aren't many safe areas to land without the immediate Xenomorph threat. Celestia moves quickly landing on one of the small balconies, there is a small Runner Xenomorph there. The large Alicorn uses all her strength when landing, aiming to land right on top of the little killer. Smashing down the alicorn sends the little Xenomorph flying against a wall with one mighty push of her body.

"This is dangerous!! We have to get in there now before it is too late!!!" Sunset screams as she gets off the back of the Alicorn and runs for the entrance.

Celestia keeps her eyes on the motionless Runner Xenomorph just to be safe as Rahzzy and Sunset Shimmer head for the entrance to the castle. The Princess would follow behind only after they got inside safely, entering the castle the echoing roars of the Xenomorphs echoed from everywhere.

"Where do we go from here!! They are everywhere!!!" Rahzzy uses his magic to ready a flame spell just in case one of the Xenomorphs shows up here. "Where would Twilight go!?"

"What if she isn't trying to hide!!? We should find Mistilie and then we will find Twilight too" Sunset closes her eyes and covers her ears form the pounding roars of the Aliens. Rahzzy's eyes widen and he knows exactly where the android would be hiding from a situation like this.

"Where is the safest place in the castle, Celestia!?" Rahzzy screams, it is the only way to be heard over the thundering screams of the Xenomorphs. "Where!!!??"

"The Throne Room!! It is the safest place when locked down" Celestia sprints to another door opening it up quickly, she heads down the stairs that are on the other side. "This way, NOW!!"

Rahzzy rushes to follow, followed by Sunset Shimmer. Rushing down the stairs the sound of something ramming up against the large doors of the throne room could be heard from here. Celestia steps out slowly on an elevated pathway above the throne hallway. Outside the Throne Room is a large gathering of Xenomorphs attempting to pound their way to get inside. The large doors, however, remaining shut with every attempt of breaking inside. Rahzzy stops a moment to see the creatures in action, unified and determined to get inside.

"Please tell me there is another way to get inside" Rahzzy bites his lower lip, scared that those doors are the only way inside. Celestia places a hoof on the stallion s head, rubbing his mane slightly in comfort. "There is another way inside, right?"
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

"We should have done this peacefully!! You couldn't fight me without the help from my creation!!!" Mistilie dodges to the right as Twilight uses her magic to fire a concentrated beam at the Android. "Well, you know what!?" Mistilie charges up her horn and shoots her own beam of magic towards Twilight.

Twilight uses her magic to shoot the beam before it could strike her, the mare not being the best dodger in existence. Mistilie rushes forward to get a little closer, hoping to make this fight more close up and personal.

Twilight uses her wings to move back quickly to prevent being tackled by the unicorn Android. Knowing that once she was down, Mistilie would not let her back up. Missing the tackle Mistilie rams herself into one of the thrones in the room, knocking a piece off of it on impact. Twilight comes up from behind while flying, grabbing onto Mistilie and tossing her away from the throne and into the middle of the room with one pull of magic.

"I don't need them to fight you, Mistilie!!" Twilight lowers herself back to the ground and readies herself again to continue the fight. The Android pushes herself up, groaning in pain from being tossed around so easily. "Equestria deserves a second chance!! Why do you hate us!!??"

Mistilie turns around and screams at the alicorn as loudly as she could her answer, the Android frustrated from everything not going her way since this plan began.

"Look what you have done to this place!!" Mistilie takes a deep breath and stomps a hoof in anger, "You are killing your original home!!! EQUESTRIAN LANDS INFESTED WITH TECHNOLOGY AND DEATH!!!" Mistilie looks back at the entrance to the throne room, loud bangs still coming from there as the Xenomorphs try and break free.

"You have build structures everywhere just to give everypony a bed to sleep in!!" Mistilie's voice sounds distorted after being tossed to the ground. As if her circuits were all messed up from the impact. "When the ground stopped supplying you with the room. You built them in the sky and my father was going to take that into space, it is your ignorance and lack of care for the world that earns you death!"

"You find these super cities beautiful!? I FIND THEM SICKENING!!" Mistilie rushes forward swinging a hoof at Twilight Sparkle, the Alicorn manages to dodge the swing and the Android continues screaming. "You wonder why your kind dies of sickness in this world. Reaching into space for new homes!! You don't deserve that!! I enjoy death and I wish to see it come for you"

Twilight uses her magic, grabbing onto the Androids mane, tossing her to the side and away once again. Mistilie smashes onto the ground ... sliding across the floor letting out a robotic whimper of pain. Twilight becomes hesitant about striking again. The mare wasn't wrong entirely, however, death to everything here isn't going to save the world either. Slowly Mistilie pushes herself back up to a stand and the back door behind the thrones opens up suddenly.

Rahzzy, Sunset Shimmer, and Celestia come rushing into the throne room coming to the side of Twilight Sparkle. Mistilie watches, laughing to herself as it now becomes one against four ponies. Her beaten look disappears, the mare's attitude flips a switch and all her energy returns as soon as the others arrived.

"I am done playing, Twilight" Mistilie grins as her horn illuminates with magic, the unicorn rips one of the old sword decors from the wall and aims. "Goodbye ... Rahzzy, the pleasure was mine"

It was too fast to prevent before anypony saw the sword fly in the air it was shoved into the stallion's lower body. Blood sprays from Rahzzy's mouth and his eyes widen from the impact of the sword. Twilight turns to the stallion and uses her magic to catch his body as it falls to the ground.

Violet and Rumham come from one of three entrances to the throne room, coming from behind Mistilie Flare. Rumham rushes up taking out a baton swinging it at the Androids head. Mistilie dodges and uses a magical wave to push the stallion away. Violet readies herself to take on the strong droid as Twilight attends to Rahzzy.

"RAHZZY!!! NO! You didn't deserve this!" Twilight lowers him to the ground, the stallion looking up at the alicorn with a smile on his face. The blade hasn't killed him off just yet, however, he was loosing to much blood to survive this.

"Twilight? Thanks ... for catching me" Rahzzy struggles speaking as blood begins to build in his mouth. "We made it this far and ... at least" The Stallion coughs and groans as the pain from the sword really begins to kick in. "At least it wasn't by a facehugger"

Violet pulls out a weapon from her saddlebag, a very small pistol for protection. Mistilie reacts instantly using her magic to pull the gun out of the mares grasps and tossing it aside. Mistilie looks at Violet and the android remembers her as much as Violet remembers Mistilie.

"Hello, Violet ... useless Scientist" Mistilie grins and steps forward to get closer to Violet, Rumham groans pulling himself back up and crawling to his baton. "Fight me like you mean it!! Or don't fight me at all!!!" Mistilie picks up Violet with her magic and throws her up against the large closed doors of the throne room.

Celestia opens her wings and sends a wave of magic from her horn to knock Mistilie away, the Princess not truly aware of who Misitlie was. Not currently having a reason to kill the mare. Celestia also was now feeling weaker than normal, something wasn't right. Misitlie smashes against a wall with a crack, the blow was enough to make the Android weak for a moment, slowly get up from it.

"Twilight? I don't wanna go" Rahzzy arches his back in pain, the rusty blade of the weapon causing more pain the longer it was inside of him. "We have ... we have to" Rahzzy's eyes begin to close as he speaks to the Alicorn. "We have to stop her!!"

Rahzzy's eyes closed as the stallion passes out from the pain he was going through, the lack of blood making it hard for him to keep his eyes open. He wasn't dead just yet but for some, this fight was too much. Celestia stumbles over to her throne as a sudden sickness comes over her. The Alicorn Princess holding her hoof over her heart as if she was in pain, Celestia takes a seat in her throne in hopes to calm whatever it was down.

Rumham pushes to fight Mistilie, however, he was currently about to meet the same fate as Rahzzy. The stallion was forced onto his back as Mistilie uses her magic to attempt to shove a blade from the wall into his chest. Rumham using all of his strength to hold the blade back as he screams at the Android.

"I have been through the struggle! I AM NOT FUCKING DYING TO YOU!!" Rumham pushes the blade back, Twilight Sparkle opening her wings flying forward to help the stallion out of this. "BRING IT OOONN!!!"

Twilight crashes into the side of Mistilie Flare at full speed in flight, the two mares tumble across the floor. Twilight ending up on top of Flare. The Alicorn's eyes glowing brighter the angrier she became as the fight continued, the aliens outside the throne room becoming more eager to get inside. The ramming of the door grows louder and louder as the Aliens keep attempting to break it down.

"Stop!!" Twilight slams a hoof down onto Mistilie's face with every word she speaks, the anger taking over after everything they have lost so far. "Killing!! Off!! MY!! FRIENDS!!!"

As Twilight readies to swing again, Mistilie's magic grabs a hold of the alicorns hoof. The Android's eyes flicker as if about to shut off completely and become black. Mistilie smiles and her next words were enough to angry anypony in the room.

"Stop letting me~" Mistilie giggles and she pushes Twilight off so she had some room to stand up again. Sunset Shimmer would rush over to fight by Twilight. "Do they know the truth, Twilight? Should I even call you by that name?"

Sunset Shimmer slowly turns her head to look at Twilight, confusion spread across her face by the choice of words. Twilight's eyes widen in the realization that, nopony, except for Violet, Rahzzy, and Iron Will knew she was a clone. The reason for this is Clone Twilight has the belief that she would not be accepted if she was not the original Twilight Sparkle.

"She is a clone ... the real Twilight Sparkle is dead!!" Mistilie backs up to a broken window to get some distance from the two mares. There is silence at first but, Sunset looks over at Mistilie Flare and smiles.

"Even if this is true ... she has done enough to be the Twilight I loved from the beginning!!" Sunset Shimmer stomps a hoof and gets ready to fight. Twilight looks over to Sunset with a huge blush on her face, never did she expect to be accepted so easily. Though she still felt that Mistilie was right in a way, the clone not feeling anything as real as the original Twilight.

The Xenomorphs on the other side of the door halt their attempts to break inside the room. The sound of something much larger approaching the door causes the door itself to start shaking on its hinges. Mistilie glares at the ponies in the room, however, is caught off guard as she turns to see Rahzzy Dazzle sprinting towards her with the sword removed from his lower body. The stallion runs straight past Twilight and Sunset Shimmer and straight into Flare, ramming a long sword into her side so hard he pins her up against the wall with the force.

"I told you ... I would kill you" Rahzzy whispers in the androids ear before falling over onto the ground, those being the stallions last words. Mistilie spits out blood, using her magic to slowly rip the blade from her side. Once removed the Android falls to the ground gasping for air.

The Throne Room Doors burst open, the Xenomorph Queen stepping through the door. The massive alien adjusting her wings as she growls upon entering. The Queen steps inside alone, looking around the room ... raspy heavy breaths echoing through the sharp fangs.

Sunset Shimmer, Rumham, and Violet are the first to stumble back from the presence of the large Xenomorph. Twilight just stares up at the Alien, however, she looks like she is in a trance at the Alien being this close. Thick slime dripping down the Alicorns lower lip, the Xenomorph lowers its large head to face Twilight Sparkle. The Queen stomps over to the downed Mistilie Flare tilting its head as if examine the wounded Android. The long tail of the Queen slithers over pointing down towards Flare like a ready spear.

Misitlie turns onto her back to face the sharp tail, the Android smiles up at the creature and the white blood begins to fill her mouth as she speaks.

"Without me ... you wouldn't exist. Without me, none of this would exist ... I am your origins!!" Misitlie screams up as the the Queen shoves the end of its tail into the gut of the mare, raising her up into the air tossing her out of the open window. The lifeless android flies out of view into the thick smoke.

Twilight opens her eyes, now face to face with the Xenomorph Queen. A sense of peace flows through the alicorns body as everything was about to take a much different turn from here. Looking over to Sunset Shimmer she speaks in a very soft voice. To not make the Xenomorphs that were now entering the room angered or hostile, Xenomorphs of every kind began to enter the throne room. Warriors, Runners, Praetorians, Drones, Winged Warriors ... They all look too Twilight Sparkle.

"I know what I need to do ... We are all going to have to learn to live with new threats" Twilight looks to the open window and the reality of the situation became obvious. "We can't kill them ... they will win the fight"
............................................................................................................................................................................................
Hours after the attack and a moment to relocate to one of the other cities of Equestria. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Rumham, and Violet turn their focus to the television screens. From the view of a helicopter, the Xenomorphs are being recorded fleeing into structures throughout Canterlot City. The reporter begins to explain the situation on screen.

"Hours after the attack the creatures appear to have changed behaviors" The voice of the reporter was filled with stress, maybe fear. "This footage is simply terrifying, these creatures wiped out the city in hours. Now they appear to be going defensive and only attacking threats to their new home" The camera pans and the castle that is now covered in hive slime comes into the picture.

"Princess Celestia and Many other rulers have agreed ... these creatures are simply too dangerous to force out" The camera cuts out and switches to a live broadcast of Celestia giving a speech to the public.

"I would be lying if I said I didn't hate these ... creatures" Celestia coughs, beaten and scared from the battle in Canterlot. "Though I am telling the truth when I say we should let them be, we cannot fight them and they are only protecting their home now"

What the public didn't know ... Twilight Sparkle is the reason the Xenomorphs went into defensive mode. At the castle, the aliens stopped attacking and waited for a command. Even the Queen herself waited for the Alicorns permission. Using the Queen Gene and the powers it brings. Twilight was able to give the order to stay in Canterlot ... the city becoming the permanent hive for the creatures.

Rumham turns off the T.V. and removes the hoof from Twilight Sparkle, the alicorn looked weak and tired from the day. Sunset Shimmer got the mare up onto her hooves, the door would open and a special Coco Pommel would step inside the room. The Android would be holding a hoof over her wound ... she was lucky the wound was not enough to kill her.

"I have one more question for you ... Clone Twilight" Sunset Shimmer spoke in a weak, tired, and soft voice tone. "Who are you now?"

Twilight thinks hard for a moment on the answer she wanted to make, the real Twilight did everything she could to save Equestria from the Xenomorph attack. Even gave her memories away to a clone of herself, so that she would live on.

"The basic premise of this is that, yes, I was a clone of her, but that doesn't mean I can't try to be her" Twilight looks to her new group of friends and smiles. "I am Twilight Sparkle"

Rumham looks to Coco Pommel as Twilight and Sunset Shimmer exit the room, to get away from everything for awhile. The stallion places a hoof on the androids shoulder and smiles.

"You coming with or do you need some rest?" Rumham chuckles, knowing the mare was probably still in pain from her fight against Mistilie.

"I think I am going to stay here for a little while, Rumham," Coco says in a soft voice, feeling weaker than ever before Her blue eyes a little faded to show how tired she was.

Rumham leaves the room giving a nod of understanding the situation, Coco lets out a long sigh before turning on the T.V. and the reporter returned to the story about the Aliens. Mostly talking about how many lives were lost, the destruction that had taken place in the city.

"One question remains, however, one thing we might not understand" The reporter continues, the sound of him unfolding a paper can be heard. "Where did these things ... come from?"

Coco grins, setting down the remote after shutting off the T.V again. the mare giggles at the question, getting up from her seat slowly. Heading over to a mirror she answers that question.

"I can't imagine where such a thing could have come from" The blue eyes of the Android flickered as she looked into the mirror, changing to a variety of colors before shifting completely. Her new eye color ... an array of rainbow colors. "I cannot begin to imagine"

"You don't really think they are still here ... right?" The Stallion stares into the ruins of Canterlot, his entire body shaking as he wonders if one of the things are watching him right now. "It was a long time ago, they have to be all dead"

"They are like nothing else here in Equestria, who knows how long they live" The Stallions Sister pushes forward entering Canterlot's Gates. "How bad can a Xenomorph be, Brother?"

The brother hesitantly follows from behind, looking frantically in every direction. The two ponies not aware of the abilities a Xenomorph possesses, the Alien's arrived in Equestria so many years ago. Where they came from was never solved or discussed and ponies over time would only begin to hear stories about them. Stories only bring curiosity and that curiosity would begin to make ponies want to visit Canterlot's Ruins, The Hive of the Xenomorphs.

The streets of the city are covered in thick plants, overgrowth is everywhere and most of the buildings are hardly standing. The Huge Castle is visible from here as it towers over everything here.

"Come on sister!! Let's get out of here before somepony catches us!" The Stallion screams in fear of just being here, the stories of this place haunted him in the past. "Please!!!"

"Stop Being such a baby, Shadow!! We have made it this far already" The mare turns to her brother stomping a hoof down in the shattered road. Her hoof digging easily into the soft soil that was there, the brother freezes as his sister turns around to face him.

The stallion wasn't intimidated by his sister, it was because as she turned around. Something moved on the wall of one of the nearby buildings. Crawling slowly down to the ground, its long killer tail swaying from side to side, the sight of the large creature causes the Stallion to become speechless. Unable to say anything to his sister about what was now heading their way from behind her.

"Brother, the stories are probably mostly fake about this place" As the mare speaks to her shocked brother, the large Xenomorph creeps on all fours getting behind the mare. Rising up from the ground, it's long dome head glistening in the bright moonlight. "Brother? Mother was just trying to protect ... us"

Turning around she is now facing the large Drone, the Alien hisses softly, the creature seems to be in some kind of trance as it stares at the mare. The Drone tilts its head moving a bit closer and it presses its lips against the side of the little mares cheek. The thick spit dropping down the side of the ponies face. The Stallion backs away falling onto his back in pure fear seeing the beast that closes.

Opening its maw the Xenomorph slowly slides its dagger tongue out from inside, it grazing against the mares face as if the Alien was greeting the mare to its home or that perhaps it was giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Suddenly there is a loud bang in the distance, like something exploded deep inside the city, the Xenomorph backs away to flee from the eruption of sound. The long tail of the Alien swings like a whip and knocks the mare to the ground with one strike as the Xenomorph retreats back to the building it came from. Getting up from the strike the mare begins to hyperventilate, the Xenomorph didn't hurt her and they are real?

"What the hell just happened!! BROTHER!!??" The mare screams and looks to her older brother, the stallion is pointing at something in the distance. Looking over to see what it was, the mare only has more questions. A thick smoke billows up from behind a distant building ... the coloration of it doesn't make much sense to her. The smoke billows in the shade of a dark blue color, as it rises the sound of a Xenomorph screaming in pain is all that can be heard.
