We had landed on planet earth after going, what seemed like, a million miles. It was quite a sight to see for Scootaloo, but not for Sweetie Belle, for she had died on the way over. She had to severe injuries and no help, I had to put her down. Me and Scootaloo were finally safe.
It had been a full hour since we landed and already, Scootaloo was exploring every inch of the prison we were stationed in. She was very enthusiastic about the whole thing and was very relieved that she had nothing to worry about, she wasn't the only one. I couldn't take my mind off of Sweetie Belle, and I suddenly had a flashback to her death.

"I-I don't know what to do!" I yelled looking at a screeching Sweetie Belle. She was holding her own stomach, the area where she had been hit by the acid. It was giving her an infection.
"You need to do something! Please, I don't wanna see my friend like this!" I stood still at those words. Scootaloo's eyes had widened as she watched me take out a handgun. She ran over and stood in front of her friend. "No, there has to be a way!"
"There is a way! I can end her suffering! You just said you don't wanna see her like this." I said from loud to calm. She understood what I was saying and slowly started to cry. "I know how hard it is for you, but that doesn't mean that Sweetie Belle won't eventually die." I say trying to persuade her.
"I already lost Apple Bloom, I don't wanna lose her too." She said crying in my arms. "Fine... go ahead... shoot her." She said walking into another room. I looked at Sweetie Belle's eyes as she pulled the gun to her head.
"Please... s-s-shoot." She muttered to me I hesitated for a minute and pulled the trigger.

"Hello, Martin?" Said Scootaloo sitting on my lap and looking at me with sad eyes. "Why are you crying?"
I felt dry tears on my face and tried to wipe them away, but she had already knew. She walked to me and hugged me. "I-I wish everything would go back to normal, I want Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Rainbow Dash, I want them back! Twilight, Applejack, even Pinkie Pie! I want them all back!" She cried in my chest and I thought about what she had just told me. I didn't know it made that much of an impact on her. I held her and I felt her smile. I go the best feeling of warmth I have ever had. "Thank you for looking after me." She said finally calmed.
"My pleasure." I replied with a smile. I heard footsteps walking up to us and I looked up and saw a guard with the police chief.
"Mark Julian Matrik?" Said the guard and I nodded. "Scootaloo Dash?" He asked Scootaloo and she nodded. "You two need to come with me." We looked at each other surprised and back at the guard.

"Mark Julian Matrik and Scootaloo Dash are responsible for a death toll of 8. Sentence is: 40 years in prison, both." I looked at him surprised.
"Are you serious!? We didn't kill anyone!" I said in defence. "What is this from?"
"On a planet known as 'Equestria' you two are responsible for the deaths of the following: Twilight Sparkle, Pinkamena Diane Pie, Rarity Belle, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Applejack." He told me.
"We didn't kill them! The xenomorphs did!" I yelled at him. "At least let the young one go." I said.
"No, in your cells. NOW!!!" He ordered and I answered something I would soon regret.
"No." Then I felt something hard hit my head and I fell unconscious. The last thing I heard was Scootaloo calling my name.
____________________________________
I awoke on the hard, cold ground I sat up and held the back of my head. I was in a cell, but Scootaloo wasn't in sight. The first thing I heard was gunfire and screeching of what sounded like... the xenomorphs. Not again I thought as I stood to my cell. It was unlocked and I opened it up, ran into the hallway, and closed the door. I saw coves and prisoners stuck in them. Hives in cells got me scared beyond belief. I ran through the hallway and up about four flights of stairs. As I climbed the fifth one I heard someone call my name. It was a girl's voice.
"Scootaloo!?" I answered back.
"Mark!" She said I spotted her trotting down a hallway, she had a hoarse voice.
"Scootaloo, what happened to your voice?" I asked in fear if what it could be.
"Um, well, it's kind of... um..." She searched for an answer, sweating bullets. "I was calling you too much?" She said. It was an obvious lie and I sighed.
"I'm sorry this has to happen to you." She jumped into my arms and held me. "I don't wanna die! Please help me!" She coughed and looked at me with sad arms.
At that point, I didn't know what to do. Do I shoot her? Do I let her live? I looked at her and she looked at me. "Don't shoot me please." She says with tears in her eyes. I shook my head and answered her.
"Don't worry, I won't." I said petting her. I got startled as an alien dropped down in front of me. I kicked it to the side of the hallway. I went up the other three flights of stairs. "We got to find a way out!"
"You gotta find a way out..." She said in a sad, hoarse voice. I looked down at her surprised and she had a terrible cough and I felt horrible for not being able to help her.
"I'm sorry Scootaloo." I say in a sad tone.
"Its okay, like you said, we all gotta die sometime."

Part one of my two part sequel. See you guys next time!!!
"What the hell is going on?!" I heard someone shout from above me. We had moved from the hallway to the room which led up to the top of the prison. Scootaloo had started breathing heavy around 5 minutes ago. She was lasting a lot longer than Apple Bloom for sure. We got to the top and spotted multiple officers shooting at xenomorphs, in other words, dying at the hands of xenomorphs.
"We gotta-" I started, but I was interrupted when Scootaloo started gagging and gasping for air. She grid her teeth in pain as the alien inside her was moving around, trying to find a way out. I started for my gun, but she suddenly calmed down, she stopped gagging and fidgeting around. It was instead replaced with a smile.
"Gotcha." She said with a wink.
"Scootaloo! If you do that again, I will change my mind about not shooting you!" I shouted In anger as the situation continued.
"Sorry!" She said shivering now. We made our way through the facility and up and down stairs. The sound of gunfire had stopped.
"Woah." I said looking at a big hole with fire at the bottom. "Something explosive dropped here." I said as we surveyed the scene. As I said this Scootaloo started her fit again. "Scootaloo! What did I-" I was cut off as an alien burst through her chest she took one last gasp for air, and relaxed. Soon, she was dead. The alien looked around before hopping away from Scootaloo and running away. I looked at the dead body of Scootaloo and I starting breathing heavily, my whole top half of my body covered in blood. I shook my head in denial.
"N-no..." I said with sudden fear in my voice. I looked at the huge pit of fire, and back at Scootaloo. She lie in my arms, a hole in her chest, and I noticed something weird happen. Her orange coat and purple mane started to fade slowly until she was plain gray. "This must happen when ponies die." I said. I walked with the body over to the fire hole and looked down. It looked like a long fall into fire and whatever else was down there. I started to cry a bit as I lifted her body over the edge. I looked at her lifeless eyes one more time, before releasing her. She fell to the bottom of the pit and was soon consumed by fire. I looked down and cringed as I heard and explosion from below. I really did look like that could kill someone, then I had I thought. Was it deep enough to kill me?
I look behind me and spotted several xenomorphs closing in on me, some making small noises. I looked down at the death pit, and then up at the xenomorphs I closed my eyes as I heard a sudden voice whisper to me. It was a ghostly whisper saying, "We're sorry." I extended my arms and looked up before forcing myself down the pit.
I was awoken by a sudden jolt on my arm. "Wakey wakey, sleepy head!" I turned to see Pinkie Pie with her mane poofed up and hopping up and down. I looked around at the place I had awoken. Was it all a dream?
I stood up and looked down. I saw the place I had died at, the top of the prison. I searched around and noticed that everyone was here.
"H-How... what... your all dead!" I said in disbelief. Twilight walked towards me with a smile and said.
"So are you."
