Alien: Twilight MIA

The ambulance was dark as the headlights of the rescue pod shined on the surface of the powerless craft drifting though space, Twilight and White were inside prepping the fillies on what they had to do on transfer like instructed over the radio. The craft was just sitting there as if it was staring at the ambulance craft. White was fastening Sweetie Belle to his back, she was weak and was starting to feel extremely ill. The filly kept complaining about chest pains and sever heartburn issues. Twilight was hugging Scootaloo tightly and whispering in the fillies ear softly. The mare was hurt in the chest from the knife wound she received from her crush Sunset Shimmer. The radio then began to make a loud noise as the ponies came on the line again.

"We are sending them in , if your ready or not, we are coming in to get you now" the radio then went silent and immediately after it did the shuttles door was ripped off the craft and five ponies in airtight suits came in and crabbed Twilight and her friend pulling them from the shuttle and too the rescue pod. Collapsing on the floor of the pod Twilight gasps and places a hoof on her stab wound, one of the ponies takes off his helmet and coughs looking down at the mare. It was the stallion from the radio, the one who she had originally been talking too. "Twilight! Which one of you is Twilight? I spoke with a Twilight over the radio about Voluntas Station" Twilight looked up to him and he looked back, he knew right away. "Twilight? Twilight I need to talk to you okay...my name is Gears, I come from Fortwaid Station"

"Fortwaid...I stayed there for awhile before going to Voluntas, what do you need from me...." Twilight began to lower her head, Gears places a hoof under her chin and forces her too look at him.

"I was on the radio, you said the Captain and others were dead. Why would you say that? What went on in there? You said something about an Alien? We need" White Lighting moves in front of Twilight and shakes his head slowly at Gears.

"She can't answer any of those questions, man, she needs to recover from her injuries" White glared into the stallions eyes and Gears stared back. Gears Fur is a odd mix between dark blue and baby blue, transitioning in and out in random streaks or even blending together creating a dark cyan looking shade. His coat color was complimented by his dark forest green eyes. Backing up the stallion nods to White and turns away.

"Thats fine, we will have more time to talk when we get to Fortwaid" Gears grunts upset he could not get the chance to talk to the alicorn. She looked sad and hurt, he would have tried to cheer her up as he talked with her. Not just interrogate her, he was upset he could not get the chance to cheer her up. "Lets get a move on, Fortwaid is not far from here..." Gears stopped when his ship rubbled a little, his ear twitches. "Strange, I-i'm sure it was nothing. Lets move!"

..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Twilight covers her eyes as the shuttle doors open and the light from the small Station of Fortwaid shines into the small rescue craft. Stepping outsided the craft and onto the stations deck she smiles slight glad to not be in a tight space. Stretching her wings and letting out a long yawn Twilight smiled more looking over to her friends. White noticed her smile and returned it walking over to her.

"Twilight, we made it. We actually made it~! This is awesome...the best thing that could ever happen" White freezes when Twilight lunges into a hug with him. Smiling he chuckles and hugs her back. "I told you that you would be okay..."

"Well we both had to remind each other a little bit, White" Fortwaid rumbles a bit and Twilight raises a brow and looks to Gears as he walks past. "Excuse me, what was that!? Thats not normal" Twilight was sensitive to everything that didn't seem normal, she was still afraid but not as afraid as she was when she first came to space, thanks to White Lighting and his lessons she was able to deal with her fears. Gears turns to Twilight and smiles nodding to her.

"Well thats because its not normal, ever sense we spotted Explosions coming from Voluntas we have been struck with small debris, thats the rumbling. They are not moving fast enough to hurt us, if its one thing Fortwaid has, its space debris protection from foot too toe" Gears chuckles and raises a hoof, "I guess you could call it Voluntas Invasion if you want, not all ships were lucky like us when the big one went boom" Gears then walks away leaving Twilight to question.

"Not as lucky, is he saying that ponies have been hit by debris and died or that they were engulfed by the flames as it exploded? Why is he so calm?" Twilight stopped thinking when she felt Whites changeling wing over her back.

"Calm down, we are safe here. Nothing to worry about anymore" White spoke calmly, he truly wanted to believe that it was all over but they both had a feeling it wasn't. With all that junk from Voluntas, who knew what those pieces may have been carrying with it. "Just stay calm, stress does not help the healing process, that and..." he stops when he feels Twilight lips lightly kiss his cheek. After her wet lips leave his cheek she sighs.

"Sometimes you should really cut the chit chat, sweetie" Twilight walks away and looks around the hanger for damage. Time seemed to slowly down and Twilight slowed down to a stop. Her eyes must have been tricking her, she stared at it and slowly started to back away shaking her head. Resting in a ventilation just barely showing its head, something shiny and it had a large green slash across it. "No, No ,no..." she stopped running into Whites chest.

"Warning! Impact immanent, evacuate, evacuate" a robotic voice begins to ring in the hanger and throughout the ship. Twilight stopped and looked around as ponies began to rush away. Gears runs past but stops almost slipping and falling but he keeps his balance.

"Did I say safe, or lucky, whatever I said...IT JUST RAN OUT!! Lets go!!" Gears looks around scared and Twilight turns to him starring into his eyes now wanting answers.

"I just got here and already things are going to shit! What is going on here Gears!?" She snorts and moves towards him glaring.

"A large piece of Voluntas is coming straight for us, its going to puncture the ship. Contaminate it with whatever that piece is carrying" Gears quickly moved away and ran to his ship. Twilight moved after him and White was getting the fillies and then followed behind Twilight.

"Gears!! Get back here now! What are you...." Twilight flew up into the air and  the ship rumble and shook as fire was now filling the hanger. A sharp fragment smashed into the hanger and something jumped over her head making a loud noise. Looking over she sees a pony fall to his knees as something clings to his face, her head was then hit with something cold and hard, she blacked out  laying flat on the ground.
