Aliens Vs. Predator: New Blood

The group was happy. They finally made it out of the ship that a few of their friends have lost their lives on from vicious beings. Now, as they walked on the Equestrian soil, Applejack was lagging behind them with her head dropped low to the ground. She didn’t want to talk about the fact that her friend, dead or alive, was still on the ship and she just… left her there. Ah-Ah’m sorry. Ah’m so sorry Dash. Ah wish you were still alive and ‘ere but Ah know otherwise. She thought to herself sadly. Half the time along the way she thought of telling the others to just go ahead without her and just use her rope to end things for herself. But then….. she felt that Dash wouldn’t want that. She’d want her to be strong.

Ah’ve gotta be strong. Fer Dash. Applejack thought as she brought her head up a little. But then as she moved a little quicker, she felt something. A slight tremoring in the ground making her and the others stop moving.

“P-Please tell meh Ah only feel this.” Applejack begged. Daring was the first to respond with a scared shake of her head. They then heard the roar of a mighty beast as a giant midnight black monster unlike the others burst out from the trees beside them. It was about three times the size of the others of its kind, it had a hide thick like that of a Rhinoceros, a massive head with large jaws and a big inner mouth, swinging from its rear was a large tail with a thick bladed end, and it had hulking arms bigger than a Minotaur’s. The creature roared at the group and charged the group at full speed.

“RUN!” Twilight screamed. Then as the creature neared them, the group broke apart giving the beast no target.

“Keep apart! It’ll have to chase one of us!” The Doctor yelled as he ran. The group split up like he said but to his surprise, the beast did choose a target. Applejack. It bellowed like a ferocious animal and charged towards the farm mare with all its speed and might.

“HELP!” She screamed as she ran as fast as her legs would go. But the monstrosity kept on her and followed her into a thickly foliaged area. As she was running, though, Applejack tripped and fell into a small hole big enough for her to stand up in but the orange earth mare chose to just lay down instead so she could avoid the beast hounding after her.

Rhino was stunned. For his prey has escaped his sight. But that wouldn’t stop him from ripping apart his prey. Keeping a lookout, he walked through the forest with thunderous steps and sniffing the air. His nose then caught a scent. It was close. Very close. He turned towards two nearby holes and noticed that the scent of his prey was in both of them. The idiotic creature thought she could try and fool him? He who was the greatest warrior in the hive next to the Queen and her mother? Rhino growled loudly as he walked towards one of the holes in the ground. He took one deep intake of the prey’s scent and leapt at the hole to his left. The beast started slashing and raking his claws everywhere he could reach but he found that, even if he could reach down into the small hole, the mare wasn’t inside.

Back at the ship’s exit, out came Yeyinde and Rainbow Dash. But behind them were the new hunters. One of them was named Guan-thwei which translated meant Nightblood. The other hunter was given the name Bakuub or when translated Straight Spear.

“Yeyinde, where are we?” Bakuub asked her hunting brother.

“It is Rainbow Dash’s home planet. But soon if we do not stop the serpents it will be their hive.” Yeyinde replied boldly.

“Then what are we waiting for then? Let our hunt begin brother and sister…. sorry sisters.” Guan-Thwei said as he made a nod to Rainbow, who was blushing. Both him and Bakuub were newbloods to the hunt. They were travelling with Yeyinde mainly to see what is like to hunt.

“Guan-thwei, since you’re a tracker, can you find out if any other serpents made it out of the ship?” Yeyinde asked.

“Of course.” He replied as he pulled a gadget off of his waist. It was shaped like a bird almost. Like a falcon. He then released the device and it took to the skies. As it flew, Guan-thwei watched through his mask and used his wrist gauntlet to control the device. “From what I can see brother the hive doesn’t seem to be at any of the normal areas they would be at. Not the caves, tunnels, or any dark area I can find. It’s almost as if they actually became smart for once.” He said and chuckled at his own joke. He then got an alarm from his droid and saw a gigantic serpent clawing at a hole in the ground.

“Yeyinde, I see a huge Serpent. A few miles south from here. “ He said as he called back his device.

“Tank Class. Bakuub, you have that special chemical with you?” Yeyinde asked his hunting sister. She replied by grabbing a vial from her waist showing off the neon blue content in it.

“Excellent. Now, Bakuub you use that to soften its shell, Me, Guan-thwei, and Rainbow Dash will make sure that it won’t get up again.” He explained to the group.

“Then let’s go already! I don’t wanna be standing here!” Bakuub said in a bold tone. They all ran towards, or in Rainbow’s case flew, the serpent Guan mentioned. But along the way Guan had to ask his brother an important question.

“Why, exactly, did you save that mare brother? You know what our law states do you not?” Guan-thwei asked.

“I do. But she fought the serpents to protect her…. friends as she says it. And that is enough to earn my trust.” Yeyinde explained.

“Friends? What the Pauk is a friend?” Guan asked.

“I’ll explain later. But now we’ve got a serpent to hunt.” He replied. Guan simply nodded before running with his hunting party.

It has been a few minutes since she fell into her little hole but Applejack was, for once in her life, scared. Sure she went through the Everfree forest to fight off Nightmare Moon but she wasn’t about to die back then either. She heard the beast trying to claw into a nearby hole, which she thanked Celestia was there, to try and reach her though it was just her hat. Silently, she prayed to Celestia that something would distract the beast so she could get away from what could be her end. And to her surprise, she heard the answer to her prayer. A ferocious roar.

roar

Although she should be happy all Applejack could feel was rage. The monster that was going to save her was the same one that killed Rainbow. She watched as the beast backed up and roared in pain as something bright blue splashed onto its back. She then smelled what could’ve been burning flesh coming from the massive beast. It let loose a loud roar of pain as Applejack could hear it’s claws hit the ground and the sound growing fainter with each claw slamming into the ground. She then saw several shadows pass by her and yelled at them.

“YOU SONS OF BITCHES! YAH KILLED MAH LOVE AND THEN THINK THIS MAKES US EVEN!” Escaped her throat. She tried to pace but then remembered that she was trapped in a hole. She watched as one of the beings leaped onto the back of the monster and rapidly stabbed it in the weakened part of its carapace. She scooted back as the acidic blood of the creature fell near the hole dissolving the ground. The black monstrosity then grabbed the being off its back and fling it towards a tree making the tree nearly snap apart.

Applejack wanted these things to die for killing Dash, but yet she didn’t want to be eaten by the large black creature either. As she was trying to look at the fight she also swore she saw a blue blur pass by several times. The beast soon let loose a mighty roar and then, to Applejack’s relieve, the beast soon left. The monsters though still followed the beast as it tried to run away from them. But then as the blue being was about to follow them, it stared straight at Applejack making her eyes widen. Applejack started to back deeper into the hole as the being walked towards her. Then as it closed in on her, Applejack raised her hooves ready to defend herself. “Come on then! Ya think cause Rainbow went down I’ll die nice and quite like to! NU UH SUGARCUBE!” She yelled at the creature in front of her. She threw a punch and, unlike the other fight with Daring, the creature just took the blow face first. The being backed up from the hole and allowed Applejack to crawl out of the hole and get into a fighting position. Then the two circled each other like two Timberwolves. Applejack started the fight by trying to give the being a mule kick. But the being grabbed her legs and slammed her into the ground.

“Ow.” Applejack said in a pained voice as she tried to get up.

“StAy DoWn.” The being said to her.

“Why you-” Applejack started in an angry voice. Then with anger in her eyes, she started to swing at the being like a professional boxer, trying to land a hit on it. But the being dodged the swings that was delivered to it. But then as Applejack swung, the being blocked it but Applejack swiftly moved her back legs and bucked the creature in the jaw sending it flying into the air along with its mask falling off its face. Applejack leaped towards the creature and reared back a hoof but then the being flung open it’s wings and knocked her sideways. WHY THAT NO GOOD! Wait those wings…. no. Applejack thought to herself but she couldn’t find the energy to ignore the sight before her. Besides those wings on the bright blue body, a dulled rainbow mane and tail stood on its neck and rump. On its face with those large canines were magenta eyes. There standing in front of her, alive and well no less, was Rainbow Dash. “R-Rainbow? I-is that you?” She asked her old friend. Rainbow just stared at her before walking slowly towards her. Applejack backed up a little but soon was embraced in a hug by Rainbow.

“I-I’m so sorry Applejack. I n-never should’ve l-left you guys behind.” Rainbow sobbed into her friend’s shoulder.

“I-It’s fine. Ah’m just glad to see ya’ alive.” Applejack said back as she hugged her friend. But then, Applejack broke the hug and look at her friend with a concern.

“Rainbow, there’s somethin’ Ah gotta say.” Applejack said making Rainbow Dash give her a strange look.

“Rainbow Miriam Dash, Ah-Ah-Ah love you.” She said. Rainbow chuckled a little when her friend said that.

“I kind of figured that out Jackie. You aren’t exactly subtle with trying to ask me out.” Rainbow said making Applejack blush.

“Well, do ya’-” She started but was interrupted with Rainbow Dash placing a hoof on her lips.

“I do Applejack Smith. I love you too.” Rainbow said with a warming smile. Applejack could’ve sworn she felt her heart melt in her chest. Then slowly, the two mares leaned in for a breathtaking kiss. Applejack felt a sharp pang and realized she was nicked by one of Rainbow’s canines. “Yeah sorry Jackie they aren’t going anywhere.” Rainbow said.

“It’s fine.” She said back. Rainbow giggled a bit before kissing her again.
