Hours had passed and the light of day slowly rose up, but dark clouds still reigned over the world as the torrential rainfall continued on. In the hospital, there lay the lavender alicorn who had still not awaken. But dreams and nightmares roamed her thoughts as she began to wonder what had happened.

Darkness was all she could see, but soon light reached her eyes as a bright white light greeted her. Her vision cleared and she was looking up at lights in an unknown room. She rose up but encountered a major throbbing pain that she felt on the back of her head. Twilight groaned in pain and thought, What the heck happened? I remember being in my room and writing a letter to Princess Celestia, and then I saw the window open and…

Twilight realized that she wasn’t at the library anymore and quickly looked around. She saw the green curtains and noticed the green nightgown she had on and the first thing that came to mind was the hospital. But how did I get here? What happened? All these thoughts and questions worried her, she raised her hoof to rub her head and felt a bandage covering part of it. Anxiety began to rise and she tried to move but the pain in her head told her otherwise.

“Twilight?” She heard her name being called quietly and looked over to see that Spike was sitting on one of the chairs. He was tearing up as he saw her awaken. Twilight gave him a sad smile and Spike rushed over to her, hugging her tightly. “Oh, I’m so glad you’re okay. I’m sorry about everything.”

Everything? She wondered at what he meant, but before she could ask, the door to her room opened. Applejack came in first, then Fluttershy and Pinkie followed her in.

“We came as fast as we could when Spike told us about you.” Applejack told her.

“What happened anyway? I don’t remember much after I found my balcony window open.”

Spike stared at her hesitantly, not knowing where to start. What he had seen was something that he didn’t know how to comprehend. How do I even tell her what I saw?

“Spike...what’s wrong? Did you see what happened?”

Spike hesitantly nodded, but all Twilight could see was fear in his eyes. This concerned her, and didn’t make her feel safe. “I...I don’t know how to say this.”

“What happened Spike? I’m sure that I can take whatever you have to say.”

“Last night...when you were writing your letter…I heard something crash up in your room...and wondered what was going on. I just thought that you had a minor slip...and went to see if you...needed help. But when I got up there, I saw...I saw…”

“Spike...are you alright?” Applejack asked.

“Come on Spike...you can tell us. What did you see?” Fluttershy reassured him.

Spike tried to form words, but his mouth just stood agape. How do I tell them? Just...how? He then realized that there was no other easier way to say this, so he just decided that he needed to come out with it.

“I saw Kettlepot.”

“What!?” Applejack yelled. Her anger came back as she asked, “Why didn’t yah tell me? Where is he now!?”

“Applejack...be patient about this. Let Spike say what he needs to say.” Fluttershy intervened, hoping to calm the tension down.

“I...saw Kettlepot...but what I saw...I don’t know what he was doing. But I pieced together that he...came in through the balcony window...and knocked Twilight...out.” The girls gasped as Spike began to recall last nights events. “But...I...I saw him, standing over Twilight.” He paused before turning to her, seeing the expression of fear on her face.

“What do you mean...that he was standing over me?”

“He...Kettlepot...that...monster. He had you turned over on your back with your stomach facing towards the ceiling. He...he had your back legs...s-s-”

“Spike...what...did he do?”

He knew that he needed to get this out now, so he quickly said, “He had you’re legs separated and he was trying to have his way with you!”

There was a stunned silence that set in after Spike revealed what his goal was for Twilight, or for “Berry” as he had so hallucinated. Applejack stood there with an expression of worry which soon turned to anger as she silently mumbled to herself about what she would do when she found him.

Fluttershy moved her hoof over to her mouth, as tears slowly fell down her cheeks. W-why...why would he do that? She wondered, and felt so sorry for Twilight.

Pinkie Pie’s mane deflated greatly this time, almost going flat. Why would that creep do such a thing?

But the alicorn was just sitting there, tears flowing down her face freely as the news set in. She didn’t know what to say, or what to think. To hear what almost happened to her was almost too much for her to handle.

“Twilight…?” Applejack asked.

“Twilight, are you...okay?” Fluttershy inquired.

“Twilight...you aren’t broken...are you?” Pinkie Pie desperately asked.

“Twilight...I’m sorry...I’m so sorry.” Spike murmured.

“Did…” Twilight quietly and hesitantly began to say. “Did… did he…”

“N-no, he didn’t.” Spike answered. However, what did happen was even worse. “He didn’t get the chance...because the Xenomorph...is free.”

Silence was all that there was as the bad part was revealed. “F-free?” Applejack whispered. Fluttershy froze up in fear as though the creature would make an appearance as Spike revealed the terrifying news. Pinkie Pie just stared at Spike, not even able to comprehend the situation. Twilight too didn’t know how to even handle all of this, nor did she know where to even begin.

“Spike...what d-do you...mean that the X-Xenomorph is...f-free?” Twilight fearfully asked.

“I saw...the monster. I was fending you from Kettlepot...but when I looked behind him, the creature...it was standing right...there.” But the worse was yet to come. “But it...it didn’t look normal. It was bigger...bigger than the one from the film.”

No...it...how can it… Anxiety soon filled Twilight, as she realized that something terrible was about to happen.

“Kettlepot, it...it grabbed him and knocked him out. It was going for me...when it saw you.” Twilight’s breath caught in her throat as Spike continued on with the very grim details. “It went for you...and was picking you up, but before it got any further...I did what I could think at the moment and breathed fire at it which seemed to...to scare it. It dropped you onto the bed and took off with Kettlepot.”

Twilight knew what was about to happen and realized that she needed to take immediate action. If we don’t stop it...Equestria will be in grave danger. She tried to get up quickly, but the ache in her head slowed her progress. She finally was able to stand up, all the while she quickly took off the gown and was heading out the door as fast as her aching head would permit.

“Where do you think you’re goin’ in such a hurry?” Applejack asked.

Twilight turned around and said, “You heard what Spike said. It’s growing and we need to stop it now.”

“What do you mean by growing?” Fluttershy asked.

“The Xenomorph is growing and soon it will evolve into a Queen if we don’t stop it...”

“Queen? What yah mean by that?” Applejack inquired.

“As a Queen, the creature will be able to reproduce like ants and bees but in a way that it needs a host to be able to reproduce.”

“And by host, what do yah mean by that?”

“Well Applejack, when I mean by host, I mean that it needs a living creature to be able to make more of them.”

“You mean…”

“Yes. More Xenomorphs will be born, but the hosts will be killed violently and die instantaneously.”

“So, are you saying it is the reason why Rarity and Sweetie Belle are missing?” Fluttershy asked.

“And Mr. Cake as well?” Added Pinkie Pie.

“Yes.” Twilight grimly confirmed. “It’s gathering ponies to breed an army. If we don’t stop it...all of Equestria...no, the whole world will be in danger. We have to stop it before it becomes a queen and save our friends.”

“So what are we just sittin’ around fer? Let’s go and get that monster!”

Twilight was about to leave but Spike stopped her by saying, “Wait! I have to tell you something else.” She paused and looked back at Spike. He hesitated before saying, “It’s...it’s all my fault.”

What…? “Spike...what do you mean?”

“The monster jumped back down to the ground and I thought it was gone...and then I heard a filly scream.” Fear rose in Twilight as he continued on. “When I went out to see what it did...I saw...I saw…”

She quickly went over to Spike and hastily asked, “What...what happened Spike...who was it?”

Tears began to flow freely from Spike as he hesitantly answered, “It...it...it was Nyx.”

The whole room went quiet as what Spike said soon hit Twilight.

Nyx...it…

“I’m so sorry Twilight, it’s all my fault. I tried to help her, but by the time I saw her, it was already too far away to catch up to. Please...I’m so sorry.” He broke into tears and cried hard. She looked over to her friends and saw the expression in their faces.

“Ah’...ah’m so sorry Twilight.”

“Twilight...are you okay?” Fluttershy asked worryingly.

Twilight got up for a moment and took a few steps before falling down to the ground and sobbed uncontrollably. Applejack and Fluttershy rushed over to her side to hopefully help comfort her. Nyx! Please...Nyx...be...alright.

Spike watched in sorrow as his mother/big sister was crying hard. I’m so sorry Twilight. I...I wasn’t strong enough.

After a few moments, something sparked within Twilight. I...I can’t be crying now. There’s still a chance to save her, and she needs me. Quickly regaining her composure, she quickly took off, leaving her friends and Spike to stare in confusion and worry. They looked to each other briefly and then ran after her. Twilight ran out the hospital and was quickly set on her path. I need to get the other princesses...then that monster is going to regret ever coming to this world!

The darkness of the creature's lair was unsettling as the humid air and smell of mold passed through the air. The rotten stench was the first thing that the white unicorn noticed about her new surroundings. Her nose scrunched up from the smell and she slowly opened her eyes, wondering where she was currently located.

When she remembered the creature, her eyes flew open and she quickly looked around. She noticed that the room was dark, faintly lit by the light that had made its way from the main room. She tried to move, but something held her in place. She looked to her limbs and noticed that she was stuck to the wall by an icky gray goo. With a disgusted cry, she struggled to free herself from the slime, but no matter how hard she pushed and pulled against the substance, it would not falter.

Okay Rarity, the situation looks dire, but let’s calm down and figure a way out of this before we get into more serious trouble. She took in her surroundings and saw other ponies attached to the walls. Mr...Carrot Cake? And Lyra… Oh poor Dr. Whooves. They were strewn against the wall like plaques in a macabre trophy room. When she looked to her right, she was horrified by the sight. Not too far from her, her sister was suspended on the wall, unconscious like the others. Sweetie Belle...oh no! She tried to reach for her sister, but to no avail as she was reminded of the substance holding her back.

She then heard a pony coughing and looked over to her left. She saw the dark blue unicorn, who she recalled had done terrible things. But before she could say anything, a small object in front of the pony opened like a flower in bloom. She heard his breath get quicker as he began to struggle in an attempt to get away from the pod. Something jumped from the pod and attached itself to him, muffling his screams, and before long he passed out as the facehugger soon went to its work. She began to panic and tried to struggle harder, but soon another moan sounded, but it was coming from the closest pony to her. Sweetie Belle...oh no! She can’t see any of this.

As Sweetie Belle woke up, Rarity could hear her begin to panic and said, “Shhh, shhh, no Sweetie Belle, don’t worry now, everything will be okay.”

“Rarity...please get me out of here. I don’t want to be here.” The frightened filly whimpered.

“Don’t worry Sweetie Belle, we’ll get out of here. Just hold on for a moment while I try to get out of this...disgusting goop.”

As she went back to writhing around in her slimy prison, she noticed that something was coming into the chamber. It was a horrible bloated tube-shaped object that was an awful shade of putrid brown. It slowly made its way towards the captive unicorn and she could see mucus dripping from an opening on the end. The smell was enough to make Rarity almost gag. The bloated object began to pulsate and bulge as something was being pushed through it. As the end of the tube opened, a round object slowly slid out of it and onto the floor.

“Rarity...what is that thing?” The frightened Sweetie Belle asked as she stared at the slime covered pod-like thing that had been placed before her older sister.

“Don’t worry Sweetie Belle, everything will be just fine.” She was fooling herself, but she had to keep Sweetie Belle calm. Okay Rarity, you better move faster or else you’re going to end up in a very bad position.

She saw the petals open and realized that she was now in serious trouble. But then she remembered that her sister was right next to her, and was going to see the whole thing. “Sweetie Belle, I would rather you not watch this right now, so I need you to close your eyes.”

“What...why?”

“Just do it! You can’t see what’s about to happen.”

Rarity knew that she wouldn’t get out of this fast enough, so she needed to get her sister to shut her eyes. She could hear Sweetie Belle crying and reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry Sweetie, sis will be fine, but I can’t have you watching this. So please, close your eyes.”

Sweetie Belle nodded and closed her eyes as tight as she could. With that out of the way, Rarity fought harder, struggling ever so more to try and break free. The object within the pod soon unwrapped itself and crawled up to the top of the pod. It resembled a bone white spider with a long tail. It bent its bony legs and Rarity knew it was about to pounce. Rarity then remembered her magic and activated her horn. A light blue aura surrounded her horn, but it was too late. The creature was already flying through the air and was heading right towards her face.

She shrieked, but it was cut short as it clamped down around her mouth, muffling the screams. She felt something press against her lips and she clenched her teeth to deny it entry. Then she felt the spider-like creature’s tail wrap around her neck and squeeze. Reflexively, she opened her mouth to gasp for air and soon realized her folly. She felt something fleshy and slimy slide over her tongue, filling her mouth with an awful taste, and go down her throat, making her gag and choke. In vain, she tried to shake the thing off her face, but then a sudden urge to sleep passed through her body. She soon found it hard to keep her eyes open and her panicked thoughts became hazy. Her eyes fluttered and rolled back into her head as she succumbed and passed out.

Sweetie Belle then quietly asked, “Rarity...are you alright?” She wanted to open her eyes and check why she stopped screaming. No...sister told me to keep my eyes closed. I can't open them. But soon curiosity overcame her fear and her sister’s order. She slowly opened one eye and then the other, but screamed when she saw something on her sister’s face. A horrible flesh colored spider was attached to the unicorns face and its tail was wrapped around her neck. Rarity’s chest rose up and down slowly as she breathed while sedated.

“Rarity! Somepony please help!”

But her screams only echoed throughout the halls and never reached anypony else. In the adjacent room where the bloated tube had originated from, the Queen, who didn’t care what was happening, ignored the cries of the pony and went back to its work as she sat in the middle of her egg chamber with her egg-sack growing out from behind her.

The sun was at its highest point in the sky as the day went on, but for a certain doctor, it was just another day, secured in his room where they kept him and watched him daily. Of course he knew that it was pointless to try and escape after he realized that these creatures could use magic, were agile and quick while some could fly, not to mention the earth ponies were very strong.

He hoped the Xenomorph was alright. After all, the ponies were very frightened of it and said that it was locked away under that barrier. Confound these imbeciles, it can always find a way out. Makoy needed to know if it was alright, or better yet he needed to get it off this planet and back to one of the other facilities.

I need to get to the ship, they still might be there. As he was about to ask the guards, he heard the sound of hoofsteps echoing throughout the hallway and a flash of colors went pass the cracked door. I wonder why they're in such a rush?

He approached the door but the guards unfurled their wings and blocked his path. One of the guards said, “Where do you think you’re going?”

“I see that the others are rushing around. I’m just curious as to what is unfolding.”

“Princess Twilight has found out that the Xenomorph is evolving into a Queen.”

So our friend is finally reaching the end of her life cycle. This is absolutely wonderful. The other facility may have fallen, but now he could start over once he got the Xenomorph off the planet. If I could just get the ship flyable again...wait, that thing would be trashed beyond repair. Then a memory of the emergency beacon came to his mind. All I need is to apply energy back into the ship, get it running again and get the signal sent out.

“Did the Princesses say what they shall do when they get to the Queen?” It was an obvious answer, but he had to be sure.

“Well, I know that they’ll blow it to smithereens when they find it.”

Of course...can’t say I blame them. But then again, the creature is Weyland-Yutani property. He needed to stop them from harming the Queen and remembered a few certain tools that he could use from the wreckage. “I do have to say, I had hoped it had not come to this, but the Queen...unfortunately must be dealt with.”

“Wait...what are you talking about?” Asked the guard on the right.

“The Queen will not be easy to control and I have a certain tool that could help turn the tide.” That, and if some of the items survived, they could help me take control of the situation.

“So...you’re going to help us destroy this thing? But why?” The other guard inquired.

“Because, like I said the Queen is uncontrollable now. She must be stopped or else you’re world would be in imminent danger.”

The two guards looked at him for a moment before walking away to discuss what they should do. The returned and the stallion said, “Alright you can go and get your special tool, but we’re coming with you to make sure you’re not up to something.”

“By all means.” The guards led the way with Makoy following from behind. As they walked, he planned about what he would do.

A long while ensued as the guards and Makoy walked over to the ship. As they neared it, the shield was still up, but the solar princess was not within sight. When they finally got out of the forest, the ship was there, still in pieces, but the bodies of some of the marines seemed to have been picked on by scavengers looking for an easy meal.

“Uggh, it smells so horrible here.” The mare guard complained.

Makoy ignored the comment and began checking on the bodies of each marine. Sure enough, he found what he was looking for. It was a medium sized object, a tan color on the bottom area while the rest was black. The front of it extended out for a few inches and had a stock at the back. He picked it up and examined it. It’s in good condition, thankfully. He picked up the other odd looking object and pushed it into the slot underneath the larger item. A red digital number appeared on the right side of the item, showing up as a ninety-nine.

“So...what is that thing?” Asked the stallion. Both guards were very intrigued by such a weird looking item.

“Yeah and what does it do?” The mare inquired.

Without saying anything, he points it at the two while looking down the top part of the item and pulled the trigger. There was a loud burst of noise and the two guards fell down instantly without so much as a sound or scream in pain. Makoy walked over to them and moved their bodies with his feet, seeing if they were truly dead. When they didn’t move, he then replied, “That.”

He walked over to the ship and went through the rest of the dead marines, picking up more of the magazines and picking up a number of round objects, which he then proceeded to push them through a slot under the barrel of the weapon while putting a few of them into his pocket. With all the magazines he needed, he was ready to execute his plan. Those imbeciles. They’ll regret disrupting the work of Weyland-Yutani.

Author's Notes:

Hey there guys, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Leave a like or comment and don't forget to stayed noted on when the next chapter is coming out. Got to say, I didn't expect this one to get so popular (But then again, this is an Alien crossover).

Again, thanks to Diablo for helping me out with this story. Anyway, have a good morning, afternoon, evening, night or whatever and I shall see you all in the next Author's Notes. Until then I'm out!

P.S. Oh and if there are any artists out there, I would humbly ask if any of you could whip up a cover-art. (I like what I found, but I'd like to see if anyone could create a good one and I may actually use it as a new cover). Alright enough of this...Xenomorph show them the way out. (And remember...Sweet Dreams).
