Ch1-A The Beginning

     In the solar system ID'd "1-A-C-7-ZEV-Ж" under the galactic territory and protection of the SevDustriesService (SDS). There is a planet under the custom register ID as "Е-Ъ-Ц-Е-$-Т-Я-1-А", locally known as "Equestria", ruled by Princess Celestia and Luna. The dominant species being equine horses that live semi-peaceful lives mostly.

     Just outside the Equestrian solar system. A large space vessel approaches a SDS system defense post.

The ships captain contacts the defense post.

"This is captain Narth of the SDS Xavier. Permission to pass through the system."

One of the outpost operators reply.

"Acknowledged Narth, ship register ID shows your in a modified prisoner ship yes?"

"Yes, we have special orders from the boss himself to get to our destination ASAP."

"Acknowledged, requesting priority clearance code"

"Clearance code : 1-2-8-7-#-E-V-#-Ф confirm cleared?"

     There is a pause while the code is transmitted to a secure data storage planet, the data planet being built in a year, not formed over thousands of years, the planet having no atmosphere to keep heat in so the servers stay cool in the icy emptiness of space. The server planet sends a signal back to the station.

"Code confirmed valid. Good luck on your trip Narth."

"Thanks."

"Word of warning! There are reports of Instile stealth pirates in your area, do you request a small escort?"

"Negative, were well enough armed to handle some pirates. If I do need help you'll be the first I contact. Thanks anyway"

"Understood, good luck."

     The Xavier continues forward with full engine power, and a little more power to the sensor systems. Passing the outpost without stopping Narth relaxes in his command seat and let's his second captain Gumpo take over. The second captain is simply the second in command of the ship.

     Meanwhile, in a stable orbit above Equestria, about the same distance from Equestria as the moon. The small squad of Instile stealth fighters hide with their cloaks on waiting for an unsuspecting ship to take hostage to make a few quick SDS credits and maybe something more while their at it.

"Looter echo to Looter lead."

"Yessss echo?"

"Sssscannerssss ssshow a sssship passsssing by tthhisss planet sssoon."

"Perrrrfect, prrredict their patthhh and calculate the bessssst placcce to interrrrrccccept."

"Already done lead."

"Good. Looterrrr ssssquad follow echo to optimal attack possssssition."

     All three of looter squad move in to intercept position. The Instile species are reptile-insect like creatures, and are born to satisfy personal gain. Each Instile dreams of being number one of anything, and only if that number one spot offers fame and fortune of some sort, and if they want something they will stop at nothing to achieve it.

"Second captain's log, the autopilot drove us to close to the planet and were caught in the gravitational pull, and after a brief emergency I had to shut down the sensors and put all power to engines and the emergency engines. Due to the nature of what the ship is carrying, aka it's sheir weight! Were unable to escape the gravitational pull of the planet with ease. I have already contacted the local defence team for help. They insisted on an escort for their tug ship and one for us and I did accept. Second log end"

Narth woke up with a sudden jump.

"GNAH!"

He lets out a slow and deep sigh.

"What I miss Gumpo?"

"Not much, we were caught in the gravitational pull of the planet wich is slightly stronger than expected. The engines are only just keeping us up, and were waiting for a tug to get us out."

"Could be worse."

Captain Narth stands up and looks at the planet below. He sighs.

"To think, a whole planet of nearly 7 to 8 million of another species, and they have no idea who, or what we even are, they may not even know were here."

"Guess it's a question of if anyone is looking Narth."

Meanwhile the Instile have noticed the Xavier is stuck and had to turn off the heightened sensors to support the extra engine power.

"Tthheir ssstuck lead."

"I know, be pattiient ssstinger, don't fire yet, get assss closssse asssss we can and pick your targetssss."

"Fine."

"Echo to lead reacchhing ssstealtthh lock dissstancce. 400V..... 300V.....200V.....100V. Dissstancce met."

"Lead, locked on to communicationssss."

"Sssstinger, locked onto auto denccces."

"Echo, locked onto enginesssss."

Echo and stinger wait for the lead's word.

"FIRE!"

A volley of three energy blasts from each Instile craft smash right into the Xavier.

Alarms start sounding off across the ship.

"Sir we have hull breaches on decks E 7-10 and J 1-5"

One operator calls out.

"Auto defense systems down, controls corrupted, forcing system reboot."

The defense systems operator yells.

"Engine room to captain! Primary engines down, running on reserves!"

All called one after another. Narth runs to his command seat and Gumpo runs to the combat computer.

"What's happening Gumpo?"

"Scanners down were flying blind Narth. Trying to calculate where the attackers are based off projectile trajectories but the computer is trying to compensate for the loss of the whole defense computer room."

"If we don't get our engines back up those pirates will be the least of our problems."

"Captain computer systems are still non operational, all we can get are basic functions.

A computer technician says.

"Then get them back up!"

"Yes sir"

Nearly seconds later the computer re activates.

"Warning: engine failure, time until ship falls into planes upper atmosphere estimated one minute to forty five seconds."

During this time the Instile were preparing communications and or another weapons volley.

"Echo to lead."

"Yessssss?"

"The sssship issss gonna fall into the planetssss atmosssssphere, nothing to get from thissss wreck, if we do we'll die too."

The Instile lead groans.

"Fine letssss go, it will be only a matter of time till tthheir help getssssss here."

The Instile stealth pirates turn and run before their found. Back on the Xavier, the computer systems are slowly re activating.

"Sir were not gonna make it out of this, there's no other option but to crash."

"There's always another option, call for ship wide evacuation."

"Yes sir"

An alarm sounds off and the computer tells the crew to get to evacuation pods immediately.

"Point us where were falling and activate in-atmosphere controls"

"Yes sir"

An operator replied. The computer then speaks.

"Captain, atmospheric impact in minus twenty seconds.. 19....18...17..."

"People, men, women, those in between, it's been an honor serving with you."

" you too sir"

"Crew evacuation complete... 8... 7"

"Prepare for a sudden stop!"

"4...3...2...1...impact."

     The ship smashed the atmosphere breaking the sound barrier on impact making a loud bang heard for miles and miles.

"Activate in-atmosphere controls!"

"Yes sir!"

     On the outside of the ship, several air breaks opened and two large wings opened from the sides helping give some control.

"Full reverse engines!"

     With all the ship had to use, from emergency frontal engines to the RCS thrusters. Anything to help them slow down. The captain doing what he can to aim the ship away from towns and cities. Through quick directional improvising, from using all the RCS thrusters, to using what remains of the engines, he pointed it right into the Everfree forest. He didn't hope for a successful landing, just a "controlled" crash, sadly his final wish never came true. The belly of the ship hit the ground and began skidding, slowly the ships pointed nose dipped and got closer and closer to the ground until, it caught the ground and acted like a pull-vault. The nose of the ship trying to lift an entire engine room and the heaviest part, the custom prison room for only one thing with no formal name other than a species name. The ship tore down the middle where it's defensive weapon server room was until it was attacked. The front rolled over and the bridge was crushed under the rest of the ship, killing all the crew that staid with the ship. The rear began rolling and tumbling where the semi-volatile engine room suddenly detonated, breaking the box that contained the alien species that SDS was so keen on keeping locked up. The front end proceeded to roll like a funnel on its side until stopping. The crash leveling several miles of The Everfree forest.

But a leveled forest and a burning shipwreck is the least of the ponies problems. The wreck was not without an injury to the creature, or one of the creatures. It steps out, a black creature, a skeletal, biomechanical appearance, it had a large cut, and the blood dripped to the ground and it burned the ground.

Like acid.

Ch2 The End

The alien creature stood tall, a warning label on the door that was still shut.

"Warning: Xenomorph, do not open dual door seal simultaneously"

The alien looked around the new planet soon followed by two more Xenomorphs.

Fluttershy was horrified and kept trying to keep her friends from investigating the odd thing that crashed in the Everfree Forest.

Fluttershy stood in front of her friends.

"Please don't go, we have no idea what it could be."

Twilight smiled.

"Exactly! It drives my curiosity to high levels thinking what it may be!"

Dash soared overhead.

"Besides, if something is there that may try to hurt us, Celestia sent a bunch of guards there already."

Fluttershy shook in her place scared thinking of what it may be.

Pinkie bounced joyfully.

"Comeon it may be fun, and we can throw it a welcome to equestria party!"

Once at the shipwreck, the Xenomorphs were hiding out of view. Or was it waiting? there were several guards around the wreck in a patrol like fashion.

A guard stopped her.

"Please stay back princess. We don't know what's in there yet."

Fluttershy zipped between the guard and Twilight.

"See no good! Time to go girls!"

Twilight picked up Futtershy in her magic and moved her to the side.

"Out of my way guard, I'm the one doing the investigating here."

"Yes princess, may I ask that you take some guards with you."

"Very well, get your best guards."

"Yes princess."

Soon there were four guards to protect Twilight. They went into the wrecks crater getting close to the open half of the ship. Twilight notes that she ship broke in two in the wreck and the assumed "back half" exploded in a Michael Bay fashion. Stepping into the upside down front half of the ship. The half alone was nearly half the size of a whole castle, occasional sparks coming from wires and fluid dripping from broken pipes. Eventually from walking down the one still intact hallway, they make it to the ships bridge, several alien creatures dead from being crushed in the roll, lanius, Wixili, Tadassgane, but none were Xenomorph. Of course the ponies wouldn't know that or even figure it out. Twilight proceeded to leave the ship with a thinking look on her face. Pinkie jumped over.

"What is it Twilight?"

"I'm just trying to put all this together... "

Suddenly some of the fire spread to an ammo vault, the crash causing the fire protection to fail. The ammo detonated causing a massive explosion making the wreck rock, the Xenomorphs hiss at once and attack. Two kill two guards and the other two try stabbing the Xenomorphs, but fail and the xenomorph's tails snap the guards spears. The guards grab Twilight and begin running out of the crater. Fluttershy was frozen in fear, Pinkie was in an intense panic, Rarity was trying to put everything together, Rainbowdash was trying to maintain a level head and get her friends to go, and Apple Jack was trying to help Rainbow get her friends to run. A guard ran to Twilight.

"Please, get the princesses, they may be able t-"

The guard was cut off as a xenomorph tail went straight through him, he was then tossed to the side and the xenomorph "stared" twilight dead in the eye, hissing ready to attack. Twilights horn glowed bright and she teleported her and her friends to her castle. She begins pacing the floor trying to work everything out.

"Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, this thi- these things, tried t- successfully killed several guards. It- their fast, deadly, sharp, pointy, deadly, deadly- wait-"

Fluttershy was curled up crying, Pinkie was trying to comfort her friends, Rarity thinking of her sister, family, and what to do now that these deadly creatures invaded, Rainbow was trying to come to terms with what happened and possibly applying for Equestria's military, Apple Jack was thinking of her family on the farm and what to do because of the invaders.

Twilight began writing a letter to Celestia.

" Dear Celestia, I don't know what happened or how to explain. The wreck has something more in it and it started killing all your guards! Send help now!"

She gave the letter to Spike who sent it to Celestia with his magic fire.

For a wait of only a minuet, it felt like an hour for Twilight and her friends. The princesses teleported into Twilight's castle.

"Twilight, are you ok?"

The princess spoke concerned for what Twilight may know about these creatures and how her knowledge may help protect the ponies.

" I'm fine princess. "

"What exactly do you know of these creatures? "

"Little to nothing, just they attacked without proper provocation, um.. Very strong if they could survive a crash with an explosion we could see. "

"Ok, ok, so- "

She was interrupted by a screeching sound of the aliens closing in on ponyville. Twilight's heart sank.

"The ponies can't defend themselves against those things, and if their here already it's only a matter of time until they make it to canterlot!"

     Ponies began screaming in the distance, Celestia, Luna, and Twilight looked at each other and lit their horns, they lit up brightly and soon ponyville and the princesses were teleported to canterlot. Twilight was minimally woozy from using up a good ammount of her magic. They ran to celestias castle with a large escort or guards, within minutes the aliens were already there, two tried stopping the princesses. Celestia tried using her magic but the Xenomorphs were somewhat immune to the ponies magic. Trying to throw them ended up as merely a shove, the group of guards intervened and sent all their spears at one alein, thanks to overwhelming it with spears they managed to stab it several times with several spears killing it, however the spear tips were melted away by the xenomorph's acidic blood.

The other alien attacked the guards, and the remaining guards took the princesses to the castle. They all got inside and the guards closed the doors, all waited, weapons ready for trying to attack the aliens if and when they broke in. The princesses were with each other and soon the doors were slightly opened for another group of guards and the rest of the six.

     The six and royal sisters clung together as the doors were being bashed, ponies screaming and yelling outside, unexpeded new noises heard as well, not noises that the Xenomorphs could make. But that was the least of the six and sisters concerns, the doors suddenly burst open, 4 aliens jump in and begin tearing away at the guards, killing them all quickly and efficiently.

The aliens begin closing on the six and sisters, they hold each other close preparing for the end.

     Loud engine-like noises could be heard outside, several small popping-like sounds, micro explosions even, heard outside. Through the windows unknown creatures burst through firing their guns and weapons at the alien creatures. A gunship seen through the open doors helping the remaining royal guards by lighting up the Xenomorphs with heavy machine guns. One of the unknowns who broke in through the window spoke.

"Пойдем с нами, если вы заса остаться в живых."

The ponies gave her a confused look. She pressed a button on her collar in a certain order.

"Let me rephrase that, stay with me if you intend on living any longer!"
