“Um Doc what do you think is in those eggs?” Wind Seeker asked about the eggs, which now appear as a greenish hue as if transparent. Doc trotted forward to examine one with a quizzical look he suddenly backed up surprised to see a living being exist in such an egg.

“I have no idea what they are but they seem to have at least eight fingers and a tale a strange formation for such a creature.” he said He got a little closer to examine the eggs when one of them started to open up.

“Um maybe we should consider leaving the area before MRPHG!” Breaker yelled as one of the creatures leaped onto his face with little difficulty. He struggled for a little longer before falling to his side.

Sweet Celestia is he dead?!” Wind asked.

Doc looked him over and checked his pulse with his hooves “No just unconscious but I barely feel a pulse he needs to get out of here fast.” Twilight picked him up with her magic and started to run to the exit with the others in hot pursuit not knowing that following them was a creature that was black as midnight with a heart that would put a changeling to shame what followed them was death incarnate, the dark stalker, the Xenomorph. They kept running towards the exit with Breaker, who was surrounded by a pink aura, in tow his breathing was steady but constricted as though he was forced to breathe and was trying to resist the urge Twilight also noticed a lump in his throat and it was moving.

“OH GROSS WHAT IS THAT!?” she exclaimed Her answer never came as they were surprised by the sudden appearance of their stalker and it was pissed. It was eyeing Breaker with great interest as if it knew what that thing in his throat was but before it could retrieve him it felt a sharp pang go through its misshapen head as the spear tip left its second mouth at the same time it became visible to the other creatures in the room as well as it’s wielder, a six-five sized creature in high tech armor and a helmet whose eyes flashed at them.

Daring and the others started to back up slowly. Not knowing what kind of beast this creature was but before they could retreat any further a red reticule was lined up with Breaker first his chest and finally his head and Daring knew in the moments that followed what was about to happen and none of them could stop it. FWOOSH the plasma caster the hunter shot off took the small pony’s head meaning that for now the serpents have no new hosts but he knew it was a matter of time before the others got out of their shock and start attacking him all he had to do was wait and see which one attacked first.

To his astonishment it was the one they called Swift Wing, who even he could tell was still a fledgling probably fresh out of training, started to throw punch after punch with some effect as he caught the hunter unawares but now it was time for the Predator to return the attack. His first response was a quick raise of his claw that stopped the next punch in its track and, at the same time, shocked the equine with how strong it was. He then smacked the creature with no effort sending him flying and proceeded to walk towards the rest of the group with the sole intent of killing them when out of nowhere a serpent leaped onto him and started to bite him which also lead to the sudden discharging of its plasma caster. The ponies decided to use this moment of distraction to their advantage and escape following the trail Twilight laid out for them.

“WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?!” Twilight asked loudly over the blasts the taller creatures strange device were making.

“I DON’T KNOW AND BELIEVE ME I’VE SEEN SOME WEIRD THINGS ON MY TRAVELS!” The Doctor shouted and he was right he had never seen either one of these creatures before but he wished he had so that he could’ve studied them more effectively. As both parties were preoccupied none of them noticed one of the eggs opening to reveal a big facehugger which headed towards the rest of the cryo tubes. As they neared the exit yet another of the black creatures appeared out of no where and leaped at them. BANG! The sound of a gun being fired off was heard along with a wail of agony.

“RAINBOW!” Applejack yelled. Rainbow, stupid but loyal as she was, managed to grab the gun from Breaker's body and hit the creature with one of it's bullets but was showered in it's molecular acid. Her whole left side was hit with enough blood to melt her skin but not to where she would die of melting. As she tripped up and fell onto the metal floor she noticed that the other creature was done with the serpent and knew she had no choice.

“Go I'll hold it off.” Rainbow stated plainly.

Twilight looked at her friend in complete shock. She knew Rainbow wouldn't last much longer but to throw her life away like this was wrong. “RAINBOW DASH DON'T YOU DARE DO THIS!” Twilight shouted and only got a smug look from her friend, "Guess I won't get to read the next story huh Twi?" she remarked and then Rainbow hit a button that sealed the hallway. Rainbow turned and saw the hunter walking towards her. She was bleeding, badly, but she had to hold off this mother bucker to give the others at least some time to escape. She pointed the gun at him and pulled the trigger. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The shots rang off but none of them hit it in vital areas: One missed completely, another hit a metal tube and some steam blasted out of it stunning the creature, two actually grazed it, but the last one only hit a piece of armor.

The creature looked at her but what Rainbow didn't notice was that it was actually looking at her in surprise. Never before had the hunter seen a more loyal ally then this... equine, that part in of itself was going to take a while to get used to, but what shocked him was what he saw, with the help of his x-ray visor, underneath her injured skin, at least he hopes it's a girl, was that she was suffering a severe virus that appears to have started in her wings. Being an elite normally meant that he was supposed to kill this creature but he was still a fresh one that he actually pitied the creature. He walked forward again but not of malice no he was going to do something that will probably get him killed later on but decided it was for the better. He was going to save this small insignificant creature.

The mare didn't seem to understand this and put the gun to her head. A small audible *click* was heard as the gun moved a new chamber into place. The mare started to panic now and felt a strange metal mask placed over her mouth. When the gas started to flow forth Rainbow started thrashing about trying her hardest to fight the noxious fumes but eventually gave in and slipped into darkness.

As this all happened on one side of the blast doors on the other side sat her friends banging on the door yelling at her to open it up. Daring just sat there dumbfounded by the cyan pegasus's last words Guess I won't get to read the next story huh Twi, sure she had been annoying but this, this truly was sore spot on Daring's ego and all she had to remember Rainbow by was all the times she had yelled at her. She soon laid down and started to silently weep for the fallen mare.

Meanwhile the giant facehugger already found it's pray. Having melted the tube's glass it latched on to one of the sleeping Predators. The egg laying parasite soon died after wards but not before a small creature erupted from the Predators chest and shrieked in victory. The Abomination was reborn once more.

Author's Note

And so the sixth chapter is up. Personally I like the others and felt they could stay the way they were, with a few edits here and there, but this one, GOOD LORD! This one needed to have a little more meat on the bones especially towards the end so that's the main reason this one was heavily edited towards the end.
