I stare at myself as I wonder, how is this possible?! Clearly, I must be asleep, I remember collapsing, so this is all just a dream...right? How could I be looking at myself?

“You have forgotten who you are,” he states, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“W-Who are you?” I ask. I knew who it was, it was obvious I just didn’t believe myself.

“I am you.” he says before continuing, “I am a younger you, actually a more mature you.”

“What do you mean a more mature me?” I don’t get it, how would he be younger and more mature.

“I know more about what we are and who we are.” his gaze hardens, “You are not Noah, you are Khyax, you must never forget this.”

“What are you talking about?” I ask, “You just want me to forget who I am?” I always want to remember who I used to be, I can’t lose that part of me.

“That’s exactly what I want.” he pauses for a moment and his gaze softens, “Who you used to be is holding you back, if you would just forget and give in to your true nature, then you could be so much better,” he explains.

“I can’t just forget who I am-

“Who you were” he interrupts.

“Who I was..” I continue, “I want to remember whatever is left of who I am, I can’t ever forget who I truly am.” I can’t forget who I am, even if it doesn’t fit here at all.

“Look, if I can’t get you to forget, then I’ll help you remember who you were in Equestria.” he looks disappointed like I failed a test.

Suddenly, the area around us shifted into a grassy plain. The pressure vanishes and I fall onto the soft grass. I look up at my other self, he sits on the grass and waits quietly. Getting up on my knees I sit down in an awkward position.

His expression shifts and he puts a hand on my shoulder, “Khyax, I’m sorry for asking you to forget who you are, but we’ve gone through a horrible past.” he put his hand down, “And the fact that you forgot that is simply unacceptable.”

I flinch at that statement he hated who I am right now.

“All our hardships, our accomplishments, happiness, and sorrow.” once again glaring he continues, “All of that gone and forgotten, that’s an insult to me.” he takes a deep breath and calms down.

I must have gone through something really bad if I’m that angry at myself. For some reason, I feel disgusted with myself. Like I sinned for forgetting something this important.

“Which is why I shall tell you about our past.” he pauses in thought, “We had a rough start, we were sent to Equestria in the middle of a war.”

“A war? Which one?” I ask, trying to pry details.

“The one with the two Celestial Sisters.” he glares at me, “Would you please not interrupt me.” his gaze hardens as he continues the story. “With no side to turn to we fled into the forest and found the cave that you currently reside in.”

Is that what that first flashback was?

“We were injured and hunted down.” he says angrily, “Equestrians were plagued with fear and ignorance. They called us a monster! A beast!” he shouts, startling me, “I hated Equestrians and still do.”

I was awestruck, I knew Equestrians we afraid of things they don’t understand, but this is just cruel.

He smiles a bit, “After that, things got better. I kept my distance from the ponies and lived happily with my children.”

“Wait! Children?!” What the hell! I had a wife?!

“Yes children, our species are xenomorphs and we are the Queen.”

“I’m a girl?!” What is going on here?!

“Yes, we are technically a girl.” he replies calmly, “We are an egg-laying queen who births extremely smart children.”

“Wait wait, is there anything else I should know?”

“Getting back to the story, things were looking up for us but then, our home became a battlefield for the war.”

Many years ago

Squads of Pegasi filled the skies, the marching of Earth ponies and Unicorns echoed through the forest. The clinking and clanking of metal plates hitting each other. Constant shouting and the sliding of metal rattled the forest. Magical beams pierced through the forest scorching trees and burning grass. Armies had and still clashed. War had found its way into my home.

“Everyone get into position and wait for my signal!” I ordered.

All my children exited the cave and dispersed throughout the forest. Eager to have their taste of blood.

I quickly slid on my black breastplate polished from hardened spit into a shiny piece of armor, then I ran out of the cave. The darkness turned to light and I made a quick left turn. The forest welcomed me as I brushed past the treeline and deeper into the forest. The forest started to blacken as I rushed past each fallen tree and ran around each fire.

I ignored the forest’s pain and pressed on. The shouts and clashing armor got louder as I ran closer to the battle. The smell of sweat and musk got stronger, I stopped just before I broke through the treeline and peered at the battle that was happening. Ponies in gold armor clashed against bat ponies in purple. It looked like a stalemate no one was gaining any ground. A smart place to fight, each side was surrounded by trees, so no one could give up any ground.

Connected the hive I asked, “Is everyone ready?” after a series of yes’s and ready’s I begin the assault. ”Spitters go!” I ordered, dozens of gobs of acid rained down upon the clashing armies.

Several screams erupted from both sides of the battle. Everyone stopped fighting and looked at the screaming soldiers. Panic erupted when the acid kept coming, many ponies from both sides were injured. The armies dispersed and fled into the forest, leaving the ones who got hit.

I smirked, they weren’t getting away that easily. ”Hunt them down.” I quickly followed the soldiers, they were in our territory. Getting down all fours I quickly caught up to a group of Sun soldiers.

I pounce on the first one, extending my inner mouth, cutting straight through the armor, killing him instantly. The next one raised his sword against me. I jab my tail forward and into his neck, hanging him there. With one flick of my tail I sent his corpse flying into a tree. The rest of them turn and gallop away.

“Cowards!” I spat, who the hell runs in a battle of life and death. Spineless bitches like them get on my nerves.

”Khyax!” a voice comes bursting through my hivemind.

”What?!” I ask mildly surprised.

”Both armies have regrouped on both sides of the forest and are holding their ground.!”

Damn, they’re launching a counterattack, ”Alright, everyone back off and continue to pick them off from a distance.” I order. Why does this have to be so hard? ”DC! I need you to go and lead the attack against the Sun Guard!”

”Yes Khyax, but what about the Moon Guard?” a gruff voice answered.

”Don’t worry about that, they’re all mine.” I replied, ”Hey where is the Moon Guard?!’ I yelled frustrated.

”To the south of you, Father” DC replied.

”And where the hell is south?” I asked irritated.

”To the left of you.”

”Thank you.” I replied before cutting the connection. I’m sorry but sometimes my children piss me off.

Turning left I quickly rush in the direction. Pushing past branches and bushes I reach the end of the treeline.

A xenomorph jumps down from the tree, “Khyax, they are just beyond the treeline and in a clearing.”

How many clearings are in this forest? It doesn’t matter all I have to focus on is defeating my enemy, “Tell the rest to get down and prepare to charge.” I ordered before walking past the treeline.

The sunlight shined upon the battalion shimmering off their dark blue circular shields. The crescent moon painted on glistened in the sun’s rays. Their formation was locked tight, clearly, they were the more disciplined army.

As I stepped out all eyes were on me. Some were filled with anger, disgust, but most of all they were filled with fear.

I smirked, I was ready for this battle, I was itching for a battle. I wanted the bloodshed to these ponies who disgraced me and shamed me for being what I didn’t want to be. I was getting revenge, “All of you have trespassed and destroyed my home, and you will be punished for it.” I said before smiling devilishly, “I heard you guys are better than the Sun Guard, I’m just here to test that.” after I said that, my children appeared behind me standing in line. Rows upon rows of them stood behind me clad in polished spit and ready to fight.
