"Is the air toxic on this planet computer?" Guan-thwei asked as he began putting on his armour.

"From what my scans show, the atmosphere AND electromagnetic spectrum of this planet is remarkably similar to the Home worlds." the computer stated.

The young predator smiled at that statement, as it would be much easier to breath and see on this planet. On most of the planets he had hunted on, Guan would always need a emergency nitrogen respirator if he was on the planet for more than a week, as all yautja breath more nitrogen then oxygen. It was nice to know for once he would be able to breath without his bio-mask, with no chances of passing out eventually.

"What can you tell me of the fauna and flora of this world?" he questioned " If Im stuck here for for a year I should bring some trophies back to show for it."

"Scanning...... most of the flora in the surrounding area is non toxic and completely edible. We seem to have also crashed in a large forest my lord. There is a pond 15 metres away from the ship, and as for fauna my lord, this forest is rich in worthy game as I have scanned three species of large carnivorous animals in the surrounding area."

"Well, at least I won't be bored." Guan-thwei said with a evil chuckle as he finished putting on the last piece of his armour, minus his bio-mask.

He looked down at the armour on his body. Unlike most other armours, his was bronze coloured instead of a silver like colour. It's right shoulder pad was more elongated for extra protection. Along with his great armour, was his great weapons. Firstly, there was his Wristblades. Two retractable blades in his right gauntlet, used for anything stupid enough to get close to him.

Next was his Combistick, a two sided retractable metal spear. Guan had used this Combistick to take down most of his large game that he had hunted over the years. The first prey he had taken down with the Combistick was a towering humanoid species called a Yahg. This huge monstrosity had four pairs of eyes, all of which where highly sensitive to movement, making it nearly impossible for any being to outmaneuver it. Luckily for Guan-thwei though, he was not an ordinary being. This hunt was one of the longest he had to endure, as the creatures hide proved incredibly difficult to pierce..... but not that difficult for the hunter. On the fifth hour of there battle, Guan used all of his body's strength to plunge his Combistick through the creatures iron hard hide, into it's heart. The yahg laid lifeless in a pool of its own blood as Guan proceeded to decapitate the behemoth, claiming it's skull as his rightful trophy.

Guan-thwei smiled as he recollected that certain hunt. When he had returned to the Home world with the yahg's head, he was honoured greatly by his fellow hunters and huntresses, and even the clan elders where impressed by by this feat. It was on that day Guan began his long journey to becoming his clans Champion.

"My lord, your sivk'va-tai is fully charged and waiting for you in the armoury." The computer reported to the hunter.

Guan-thwei nodded and looked down at his bio-mask. It to was a bronze colour with red eye lenses. It's forehead plate had a serrated rim, and the sides of the mask had a special cultural design.

Guan put on his bio-mask and the once regular looking room was now all in infra-red vision. He began to cycle through the different vision choices the mask allowed him. There was infra-red vision, serpent vision, and x-ray vision, all of which had helped the predator in his previous endeavours. When all of his armour systems had checked out, the Champion began his decent to the armoury.


The platoon of royal guard lead by Luna and Shining Armour had been walking through the Everfree Forest for a good ten hours now, but none of that mattered to Luna, all she wanted was to come face to face with another life form. As they continued walking, the princess of the night used her magic to sense how close they where to the crash site. It was only one more yard away. One yard. She raised her right wing to halt the guards movements. She turned around and looked at the ponies who had bravely followed her into the deep and dark forest with a hearty smile and determination burning in her eyes.

"Brave mares and gentle colts, we are but one yard away from reaching our goal, contact with other life. I know that most of you are quite nervous, and I won't lie that Im not. If this visitor is alive and shows us no threat, you are all to show it the same emotions you would a pony. I speak of kindness and generosity in hopes that this will encourage the being will show us the same emotion ."

Luna looked at the guard this time with a concerned expression "If this visitor shows malicious and harmful intent on any of us.... then we will have no choice but to defend ourselves. I pray to Faust this does not happen, but it is still a possibility that we must prepare for. We don't know what kind of technology this alien has and what its purposes are for, so be on you guard." Luna looked towards Shining "Are you absolutely sure your guards are ready Captain?" The lunar princess asked worryingly.

Shining smiled to the princess "There as ready as they'll ever be princess, but I don't think anypony is truly MENTALLY prepared to meet something not from this world."

Luna smiled back " Well then what are we waiting for Captain, lets get a move on!" she ordered.

"YOU HEARD THE PRINCESS, WHERE MOVING OUT!"


Guan-thwei exited his ship with one of most powerful weapons in his armoury, his Plasma Caster. The thing that made his Caster more powerful then others was it had a double heat modulator installed in within it. This allowed it to store more energy and shoot even hotter balls of plasma at his prey. The extra heat also gave the plasma a crimson red colour instead of the regular blue colour. He looked around himself. He appeared to be in a treeless area of the forest. Either that or his ship had knocked down all of them when it 'landed'. He started walking to where his computer said there was a pond, closing the ships entrance as he did so. After less than a minute of walking through some brush, low and behold there was a large fresh water pond.

"Well at least I won't die of thirst" he said as he looked at his reflection in the pool of water.

He used his mask to scan for edible foods. It picked up traces of fruit across the pond. Guan-thwei jumped into the pond and quickly began to swim to the other side. Laying in a pile where purple fruit with orange dots all over it. The hunter began gathering the fruit until his wristcomputer's emergency light began to blink. He pressed the flashing light, which then played a message from his ships computer.

"My lord, I request you return to the ship, as a number of sentient lifeforms are making there way toward it" the message stated in the computers monotone voice.

Guan was surprised to hear that there was sentient life on this planet, but very curious and angry for why they where try to get to his ship."

He dropped the fruit and cloaked himself "Well, lets go meet the natives then."


About a minute later, Guan had returned to the crash site and hide a tree still using his active camouflage.

"Computer, how close are they to crash site?" he asked quietly through his Bio-mask.

" Five metres my lord."

Guan could hear movement in the forest, heat of the aliens body's as they came closer.

"It's over here!" one of the creatures called out. Guan recorded the aliens statement and began searching for there language in his database, so he could then download there language through and speak to them through a translator.

"Four metres my lord." the computer informed him.

"No, turn around its over here I said!" the voice called out again. The database found the language they where speaking: English.

" Why are these beings speaking a human language?" Guan thought to himself as he began downloading English into his Bio-masks translator.

"Three metres."

Guan's grip on the branch tightened.

"Two metres."

The hunters mind was focused, ready for anything.

"One metre my lord" the computer said for a final time.

Coming out from the brush of the forest, came something the predator was not expecting....... a group of armoured horses.
It was generous to even call them horses, as there where about only half as tall as Guan was.

" Computer, are these the beings you were referring to?" Guan asked hoping that the soulless machine would say no.

"Yes they are my lord." The computer stated flatly to a very disappointed Guan-thwei.

Guan noticed to more beings entering the area. One was just like the others, but the other was slightly taller. The hunter then noticed something about the taller equine.

" Are those..... wings and a horn?" he asked himself. With a closer look, he noticed that most of them either had a pair of wings or a horn.

"PRINCESS! we found a door but it won't budge!" yelled one of the horses.

Guan looked quickly at the source of the voice. One of the equines was trying to get into his ship. Guan's anger began to boil a bit at this act, as trying to enter ones ship without permission in his culture was a great sigh of disrespect and dishonour.

"My lord, your brain activity states that your incredibly close to killing the natives." the computer said.

"And what of it." the predator hissed.

"I would highly recommend you do not kill them until you are certain that they mean you bodily harm." The predator raised a questioning eyebrow at that suggestion " I suggest this because these species may have technology to help repair the ship faster."

Guan hated to admit it, but the computer was right. If these equines evolved to the point of sentience, then the possibilities were endless.

"Very well, I wont kill them...." Two more horses began to try and open the door ".... but I will teach them a lesson in respect."


" This thing just doesn't want to move!" said a young solar guard private named Leaf Step.

" QUIT YOUR BITCHING and just open it already!" ordered the captain of the lunar guard, Shadowed Lighting. Shadow had been the Lunar captain for five years and had become very close friends with Luna when she had returned from her banishment from the moon.

"The faster we get this thing open, the faster we can go......."

"OVER HERE...." said the voice of Leaf Step, but in a creepy whisper.

Leaf stopped trying to open the door and looked around. The Lunar captain looked at the solar private "What in the name of Equestria do you think your doing, GET BACK TO WORK STEP!" she spat with venom as she made her way to the door " What's over here that's so important for you to stop working?" Shadowed Lightning questioned.

"Th..at wasn't me Ma'am." he stated with fear dripping from his voice.

"Look Leaf we don't have time for this bulls...."

"TURN AROUND...." said Leaf Steps voice again, but to Shadow Lightning's horror, it didn't come from Leaf's mouth.

The rest of the royal guard were hearing the menacing whisper as well, fear starting to take over the rest of there senses. Even the great Princess Luna was beginning to get scared. Shadow Lightning noticed this and galloped to her beloved princesses side to reassure her, leaving Leaf Step by himself.

"OVER HERE................ TURN AROUND" the whisper repeated, causing mostly everypony to be constantly looking back and forth, hoping to find the source of the whisper, but not Leaf Step.

The young guard was so petrified by his own voice whispering to him, that all he could do was simply walk backwards, keeping his eyes transfixed on the damaged spacecraft.

"OVER HERE, TURN AROUND, OVER HERE, TURN AROUND, OVER HERE......"

Leaf Step moved a little faster, still staring at the ship...... until he bumped into something. He could hear the gasps from his fellow brothers and sisters in arms and he feared he knew why.

"Turn around." his voice said only once.

Leaf Step slowly looked behind him, shaking whilst he did so, to find what they had been looking for. The alien. the creature was very big, doubling his size, it was translucent so it was hard to make out what it really looked like. The monster began to make a series clicks and snarls. Leaf thought that it was trying to communicate with him, so he stuck out his left hoof as a sign greeting. Along with the rest of the guard, Luna was burning with anticipation, waiting to see if the visitor would shake his hoof.

"TIA, if only you were here to see this." she said to herself.

The alien looked down at Leaf's hoof and began moving his own left hand towards Leaf's. The alien lightly grasped leaf's hoof, making the young colt smile up at the visitor, who just kept looking straight into his eyes. From afar, some of the royal guard where beginning to slowly walk towards what seemed to be, a new friend.

After a few seconds, Leaf tried to pull his hoof from the aliens hand, but with no prevail. Now he was starting worried, as all the visitor was doing was staring at him, and then it happened. The monsters hand started to squeeze the small colts hoof, causing it to crick and crackle. Leaf was starting to feel pain and his fear had returned ten fold. He began thrashing, trying with everything he had to get his hoof lose. The guards and Luna noticed this but before they could act, it was to late. With little to no effort, the alien crushed Leaf's hoof, causing his hoof to chip and crack apart, and his wrist bone to snap through his skin. Luna and the guard gasped at the raw strength of the alien, and where to stunned by what just happened to do anything about it. Leaf screamed out in pain as blood poured from his hoof. Out of nowhere, The alien grabbed the colt with his right hand and released his hoof. The towering creature raised Leaf Step by his throat, making themselves eye level with each other. Leaf stared into the eyes of the monstrosity that had just destroyed his hoof, and it looked straight back into his. Though his pain, Leaf could hear a series of beeps and blips coming from the alien, and after a few seconds, from what it seem to the young guard, the creatures translucent skin was disappearing, and becoming something else. When the translucency was gone, there before all of there eyes was the true alien. The tall being through Leaf step like he was baseball, straight into his ship, knocking the poor pony unconscious. It then turned its attention towards the rest of the guard... and the princess.

With the alien looking towards them, Luna got a better look of what it looked like. The armour it wore was metallic brown colour. It wore helmet so she could not see what the creatures face looked like, but what she saw from its body, it appeared to be a reptilian, as its skin looked scaly and dry. Also, it's skin was a blue colour. It's body was very toned and muscular, even more so than that of any Minotaur she had ever seen. Then she found the one thing she had prayed the visitor would not have. Weapons. The aliens weapons seemed blades and a spear. Luna knew that this creature was not friendly, but yet she yearned to try to make peace with it, to be friends with it, and to help it in any way she could.

The alien began to walk towards them. This filled the guards with a passion to protect there princess, no matter the cost. Shining Armour, Shadowed Lightning, and the rest of the guards formed a V point in efforts to protect Luna. The princess of the moon smiled at her guards bravery, then looked up at the alien.

"VISITOR, I'AM PRINCESS LUNA, WE DO NOT WISH YOU ANY HARM AND WILL GIVE YOU BUT ONE CHANCE TO SURRENDER PEACEFULLY!" she announced in her Royal Canterlot Voice.

The alien still walked towards them, slowly but steadily.

"IF YOU DO NOT STOP, I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ORDER MY GUARDS TO ARREST YOU!" she announced yet again, but nothing was said back to her, all the creature did was continue walking towards them.

"Forget this!" one of the guards said "It can't understand us and its going to kill us, and I'm not dying today!"

The black coated unicorn began charging at the now still alien, his horn pointed straight for the monsters abdomen.

"NO!" Luna screamed, yet it fell on deaf ears.

The unicorn guard yelled as he became closer and closer to his target, his eyes closed so he would not get any of its blood in his eyes. The alien merely tilted its head to the side and when the charging stallion came close enough, it delivered a roundhouse kick straight to the pony's head, knocking out some of his teeth and sending him straight to unconsciousness.

Luna swallowed back some of her fear. She had never seen such feats of strength or reflex's before. Luna looked at the two unconscious guards. Seeing them bruised and beaten changed her fear to anger.

" Very well then, you have given me no other option. GUARDS. ATTACK!" Luna ordered.

The rest of the guard galloped towards the alien with swords and spears raised, leaving only Shining armour and Shadowed Lightning to protect Luna.

As each guard attacked, they soon failed it any attempt to take down the creature, until none where left standing.

The alien had just taken down twenty-six highly trained royal guard, with out using any effort. It then again started making it's way towards the princess.

Shadowed Lightning looked at Shining "Protect her, I'll take care of this creep." Shadowed said.

Shining shook his head and stood in front of the princess, spear sticking out towards the alien. Shadowed spread her bat wings and began to hover towards the alien, sword in hoof. The alien and the mare stopped when in unison when they where a few feet away from each other, neither of them making a move in the slightest. Then like a lightning bolt, Shadowed flew into the forest at supersonic speeds. The alien around itself for a few seconds, and then at the two pony's in front of him. As soon as he took a step, Shadowed Lightning burst thought the forest brush behind the alien, her sword ready to pierce through the abominations heart. Unfortunately, before she had time to react, the alien jumped and did a back flip, landing feet first on the mares back, slamming her into the ground. The alien stepped of of her and just watched as she tried to get up. It reached down and grabbed her neck armour, denting it as it squeezed. It then rose her to it's waist level, and plunged it's knee straight into he stomach, causing spit up a mixture of blood and vomit. The alien released her, letting her fall to her knees, then her front hooves. Shadowed looked up towards the monster that had just easily defeated her with disgust.

"Fuck.....you" she weakly spat.

The alien looked down at her with it's head tilted "FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU,FUCK YOU." It said in her voice before delivering the final knock out punch.

Shining Armour had had enough "Princess I...." Luna shushed the captain " I understand Shining....... do what you must." she said sadly.

The solar captain nodded. It hurt him to know that he had to kill the visitor, as Luna had told him stories of how she always wanted to meet other life and gain it's friendship. He started walking towards the extraterrestrial, with no weapon at all. The alien stood still, looking at it's new and hopefully last opponent. When Shining had reached the creature, all the two did was stare at each other.

"I'm sorry princess." Shining whispered.

The captain closed his eyes and began to preform one of his most powerful offence spell. With great effort, his horn released a red beam of energy straight at the alien, sending Shining Armour flying back slightly. The captain looked up from the ground to see the damage he had caused. There was nothing. nothing at all. He stood up and turned around to see the alien standing behind him, chuckling to itself. It lunged out and grabbed Shining's horn, causing the unicorn to grunt in pain.
The creature brought it's free fist in the air and brought it straight down into his the pony's jaw, dislocating it. With a thud, the great Shining Armour fell like a sack of bricks.

With a snarl, the alien made his way towards Luna, now with nothing to get in his way.

"So, I guess this is where your going to kill me, yes?" Luna asked in a serious tone, getting no answer.

"I may be used to ponies protecting me but I still know how to fight!" she threatened, flaring her wing.

The beast stopped. Luna's hopes rose.

It looked down at it's left wrist and began touching buttons. Luna was confused, was it contacting somepony. Was it arming something? After a few seconds of button touching, the alien started walking towards her again, now only a few feat away.

"NOW LISTEN, I'M A PRINCESS, AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO!" Luna stopped as the creature grabbed her throat firmly.

Never. Never had somepony been so bold as to even so much as touch her. She wanted to use her magic to fight back or get away but she couldn't! It was like this creature was negating her power. Now with no way to fight back or escape, all she could do was except her fate.

"Just make it quick please." she asked, holding back tears.

The alien moved he head side to side, as if it was inspecting something. What it did next, was something Luna was not expecting. It let her go.

"Do you lead the smaller equines?" It asked.

Luna was flabbergasted "....what?" she blurted out.

The creature leaned over Luna menacingly "DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT lead the small equines!?" It demanded.

"YES, yes I'm co ruler, along with my sister." she stated quickly

It clicked for a few seconds before speaking " Then I will have words with you, follow me."

The lunar princess got up and began walking behind the alien, questioning why she was even listening to it.

" Why did you attack us? And if you speak our language then why didn't you stop or listen to us!" she desperately demanded.

The alien kicked Leaf steps unconscious body to the side and began typing in a code on it's wrist.

"If I recall correctly, YOUR soldiers were the ones who attacked me, I merely was walking towards you." It stated

"Then what about private Leaf Step, why did you break his....." Luna began

The alien turned around and pointed a finger at her " I will explain my reasons to you when we are inside the ship, until then, keep your mouth shut, don't touch anything, and always do as I say. UNDERSTAND!" the creature shouted.

Luna wanted to call her authority but knew that would probably make the extraterrestrial even more angry then it already was. So all she did was nod.

"Good" it said. They then entered the ship. Luna looked back out the now closing door.

"I hope your having a better day then I'am sister." Luna said to herself as the mechanical door came to a full close.
