Previous ChapterI Admire its Purity
Luna rushed to the Medical wing where Karl was being kept, when she ran in, she noticed the bed's where full, all of the, but no sign of Karl
"Pray tell, what are all these ponies doing here, what happened?" Luna asks one of the nurse ponies
"oh hello princess, uh, these ponies where brought in a while ago, something about tall, skinny black creatures that can run along ceilings and walls attacking every pony, most of these are injured guards pony, but some of them are normal citizens" the nurse says before returning to work
Luna walks over to the bed where Karl used to be and looks at the patient; he is different, one of the many citizens that were brought in
"Pray tell, do you know where the previous occupant of this bed is?, he is a stallion, black with a grey mane, has one unicorn horn and two smaller horns, his wings are like that of a dragon and he Luna is interrupted by the patient
"Yes….i know who you are talking about, I don't know who he is, but he saved my life from those creatures" he says in a weak injured tone
"So he saved sompony….that must mean he isn't THAT bad" Luna thinks to herself
When she suddenly realizes "WAIT, Black skinny creatures that can climb on walls and ceilings?, ITS THEM! the ones I saw in Karls memory!" Luna mentally screams at herself
horrified that the creatures might be back to do to Equestria what they did to Karls home and his people, Luna rushes out of the medical wing, avoiding all the incoming injured ponies, each having either identical wounds, or completely different wounds, but all from the same type of creature.
Meanwhile, back in Ponyville, the Silver armoured ponies are standing their ground, when the Xenomorphs come over the buildings and begin attacking the fleeing ponies
"Stand your ground men!" the pony in charge shouts
As the Xenomorphs reach the Silver armoured Ponies, and the Battle between the silver armoured ponies and the Xenomorphs covers ponyville. Meanwhile, back on-bored the star hammer, the last of the drop ships have docked with the ship, and its inhabitants are heading off into different sections of the ship, FilthyRich is with his daughter who seems to be scared half to death by the sudden change in environment, as Filthyrich and DiamondTiara enter the bridge, The captain of the star hammer is looking at the ships main screen, he hears the ponies enter the bridge
"Good to see you made it here safely ms. rich" the captain says without looking away from the screen
"Please, just call me Rich" filthy rich says in a humbled tone
"And what shall I call you 'captain'?" rich asks as he approaches the human commander
"Just call me 'Dwain the captain says as the two look at the screen
on the screen is the many different soldiers who are fighting the Xenomorphs, some are doing well, others are doing poorly, others are completely still with the big red words 'Deceased' covering the screen, rich hugs Diamond Tiara so that she cant see the screen
"Its okay sweetie" he says in a reassuring tone "it'll all be alright, I promise"
As he continues to look at the screen, watching the pony soldiers try to fend off the seemingly never ending Xenomorph Horde.
Rich notices something and points to a screen
"So I take that
He points to a screen showing Karl saving one of his fellow troops from a Xenomorph
"Is your 'Special' soldier 'Karl' that you told me about?" rich says in a curious tone
Dwain looks at the screen with Karl on it
"Heh, yea it is….being the hero as usual I see too" Dwain laughs
"I'll have someone take you to your rooms" Dwain says gesturing to DiamondTiara
"Yea, I'll go with her….i think I have some explaining to do" Rich says as he approaches the door that has a human soldier waiting for him.
Dwain continues to look at the screen, he then brings up one of the many smaller screens, showing a soldier's point of view of a Xenomorph, before it kills him, as the Xenomorph picks up the Injured pony, it opens its jaw and its smaller jaw shoots out, passing through the ponies skull with ease, killing it instantly, as the pony falls to the ground, the captain rewinds the scene and pauses it on the scene before the Xenomorph kills the pony, he looks carefully at the Xenomorphs face and says in a Dark Emotionless Tone
"…..what the fuck are you?"
Back in canterlot, Celestia is helping the medical ponies to tend to those of her guards ponies that survived, as the battle continues to rage on the streets, the ponies in canterlot flee to the safety of the castles interior courtyard, Celestia is trying to keep order among the crowed when Luna comes rushing out to her
"SISTER, the Pony 'Karl' has escaped…..what is every pony doing here?" Luna asks in a panicked tone
Celestia try's to smile "come on, just tell her, everything is alright" Celestia thinks to herself
"….no….I cant lie to her, especially not right now, I'm going to need every pony's help in this crisis" Celestia sighs
and says "….sister…..our subjects are under attack from the creatures you described seeing…and yes I know that 'Karl' has escaped, he's with his friends who are keeping the creatures at bay" Celestia says in a sad tone
Luna's heart sank after hearing that
"….wait…..why do I care about his safety, we only needed answers, now we have them….even though I wish we dint now"
Luna thinks to herself, but for some reason she cant explain she seems to care for Karl, but she pays it no mind "no….he is a pony….even if he is physically different, he is still a pony, and he deserves my affection just as much as any pony" Luna thinks to herself
Then she realizes something about what she thought "…..wait….AFFECTION? Surly it was just my mistake, I meant to think Attention" Celestia notices her sister is thinking
"….Luna are you alright? You seem calm….which is good…..but considering the circumstances..." she asks in a confused tone snapping Luna out of her train of thought
"….oh What?...sorry sister, I was just thinking, surly there is some kind of connection or reason that both karl AND the creatures that destroyed his home have returned after such a long time.." Luna says, trying to concentrate.
Luna decides to assist Karl and his friends in driving the creatures off "…I'm going to find him" Luna says, spreading her wings
But Celestia stops her "NO, Sister, you can't! He is doing fine…and besides it's not safe, I had trouble dealing with the creatures because there are so many" Celestia says trying to talk her sister out of putting herself in danger
But Luna ignores her, and fly's away, Celestia is about to take after her, when a guard comes running towards her
"Your majesty" he says bowing his head "Ponyville is Also under Attack by these creatures!", after hearing the guard, Celestia Takes off towards Ponyville
"NO, twilight and the other elements of Harmony are there" Celestia says to herself "wait….THATS IT" Celestia screams to herself "THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY, we can use them to drive these evil creatures out of our homes!" Celestia happily says to herself as she fly's towards Ponyville.
Meanwhile in Ponyville, The silver Ponies have managed to drive off the Xenomorphs but pay the price as most of them have been killed by the Xenomorphs, leaving only Seven Alive of the two hundred Ponies that started out. As the surviving silver armoured ponies attempt to regroup, the next pony in charge of the group opens his hoof-com and says in a depressed state
"Command…this is the escort team…..we drove off the Xeno's…but my commander is dead…..so are most of the troops…..there are only seven of us left….we need immediate Evac…..", it remains silent for a moment, then he gets a reply
"this is the captain of the Star ship…I read you, I'll send down several drop ships to retrieve you….and you body's…..I'm sorry about your team….they were good soldiers…" Dwain says before ending the transmission.
Back at canterlot, Karl and his comrades are beginning to loose the battle against the Xenomorph horde
"Man they Just KEEP COMING!"
One of the soldiers screams, Karl continues to fire his weapon into the Xenomorph horde when he notices something about the horde. There making a line, allowing something to pass through the horde
"KEEP FIGHTING MEN, WE'VE GOT TO WIN THIS!" Karl shouts to his comrades
as the Xenomorph horde continue to close in, Karl continues to fight and try to motivate his comrades, even though it seems like a hopeless battle even to him, for every single Xenomorph they kill Several more take its place, as he continues to fight, he notices he is loosing soldiers
"DAMN IT! I don't want them die because of me….but what choice do we have, we CANT let them win" Karl thinks to himself
Suddenly the Xenomorph Horde move out of the way, and Karl sees what they where protecting
"Oh shit" Karl thinks to himself
He quickly stands in front of his ally's and gets their attention
"CRUSHERS!" Karl shouts to his comrades
So they know what to expect, as the Xenomorphs move out of the way of their comrades to allow the bigger Xenomorphs a clear path to the targets.
As Luna Nears the source of the gunfire and screams, she notices something horrific
"By the Moon…..they go on as far as the eye can see!" Luna says, looking at the quick moving Wave of Black death nearing Canterlot, she then notices why the Xenomorphs haven't taken canterlot yet, a small line of Silver keeping the Xenomorphs at bay
"That must be him and his friends" Luna says to herself as she fly's closer to the raging battle, she then notices the silver armoured ponies are scattering
"Why are they scattering?, they are not retreating….so why make yourself vulnerable to overwhelming numbers?" Luna then notices the reason why
Rushing out of the sea of blackness is a group of Larger Xenomorphs, Their heads are Much larger then the other Xenomorphs, much more thicker and wider, and their body size is also considerably larger then its smaller comrades, almost like a dragon without its wings, or an adult bull that's somehow increased its natural body size.
As the silver armoured ponies Scatter, the Large Xeno's split up and chase after different Targets, the ponies being chased seem to be trying to get it to face them so their comrades are behind them, Luna fly's to a nearby building and watches the battle unfolding, the silver armoured ponies are attempting to use their weapons on the Larger enemies but it seems to have no effects, so they try to get around behind the Creatures and begin using their weapons on the creatures back, which seem to affect it somehow
"So….that's its weakness" Luna thinks to herself "Very Clever of you Karl, Use THEIR Size to YOUR advantage"
But as the ponies get behind the creatures and begin damaging them, the creatures use their sharp tails to knock there attackers away, as the battle between the lager Xenomorphs and the silver ponies continues, Luna notices something odd about the battle
"Wait…..why aren't the other smaller ones taking advantage of this opportunity?"
she looks over to see the smaller Xenomorphs are leaving the area, almost as if retreating, as the larger creatures continue to charge at the silver ponies, Luna spots Karl, with the spy from Earlier, working together to bring down one of the large Xenomorphs.
"Sir, Holy SHIT Sir!" Unit #233 shouts as Karl and Unit #233 barley avoid getting crushed beneath the crusher's massive head.
The crusher now facing both of them, charges at them when a blue beam comes from the top of a nearby building and hits the crusher in the back, killing it.
causing the crusher to land on top of Karl and barely missing Unit #233 Luna then fly's down to Unit #233 and says
"Oh its YOU again
In a surprised tone, she then notices something, she can't see Karl
"….uh….where is Karl?" Luna asks in a confused tone.
"Get. This thing. Off me" Karl says from under the dead Crusher
Luna uses her magic to lift the Dead Crusher off of Karl who gets up and brushes himself off
"Uh, thanks for that"
Karl says in a relived tone, but stops as soon as he notices who it is that assisted him
"…..ah crap" he mutters to himself
Luna approaches Karl who defensively backs away
"Oh, please, don't be afraid…considering the fact that you and your comrades are fighting these creatures…..the same ones that killed your family, that takes courage, Karl" Luna says in a Reassuring tone, then realization hits her AND Karl of what she just said out loud
"….What did you just say?" Karl says in a mixture of Horror and Anger
Luna's ears fall down onto her head her face turning to one of Sorrow
"No…..Wait…please…I can explain….." Luna says in an apologetic tone
But before Luna has time to explain, one of the silver armoured ponies comes running backwards from the corner of a building, falling over and scrambling to get back on his balance, Terrified and screaming
"AAAH….what the hell is tha- What the HELL is that" he screams, stopping to look back and then continuing to run away screaming "what the FUCK!" and disappears in the forest of Buildings.
Then a massive Xenomorph appears, though by looking at the Head, they notice it doesn't have a Normal Xenomorph head.
"…..it's…its him" Karl Says Horrified
"Hello…'Karl'"
It says, its voice sounding unlike anything they had heard before
"It's been a while, how have you been?" it says
"I've missed you Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" it says entering a fit of hysterical laughter.
"I thought you where DEAD" Karl Screams at the creature.
