Equestria meets Predator
Chapter 7: Meet the locals
Previous ChapterDrake was getting up and did his normal routine for the day. As he awoke, he saw Twilight and Spike
"Good Morning Drake." Twilight said
Drake replied "Greetings Twilight."
Drake simply sat at the table as Spike was making breakfast and put pancakes for Twilight and waffles for Drake. Starlight was still asleep so she'll get her meal later.
Drake began to eat the waffles as Twilight ate her pancakes. As they ate, Twilight said to Drake in an attempt to start a conversation
"So Drake, what do you normally do?"
"Back in my home, I usually train to get more experience in my hunts and to show strength in whomever I face. The more I do, the more you will show strength to my clan."
Twilight gave an intrigued look and said "You didn't have any friends back at your home?"
"No. Well...yes. Look, I have friends. But they didn't survive their hunts for the Rite of Passage."
"Rite of Passage?" Twilight asked
"Do you remember when i told you and the others of the mark on my face?" Drake asked
"Yes?" Twilight replied
"Its the name of the trial of when we hunters earn our marks and have to kill a kiande amedha during our dtai'kai'dte."
"You go on your what to kill what?" Twilight asked confused
"We have to go on our hunt to kill an creature known as a Xenomorph, by travelling to a pyramid." Drake said
"But you said-" Twilight said, but Drake cut her off
"I know. kiande amedha means Xenomorph in our language and dtai'kai'dte means hunt in our language as well."
Twilight only pulled out a notepad and began to write what Drake said and began to jot down notes. Drake was confused at what she was doing and Spike said
"Don't mind her Drake, she tends to write down new things she discovers so she can learn more about what they are."
Drake only nodded and continued to eat his meal. After finishing, he left to go to the town of Ponyville. He walked down the path of the castle into the town. As he walked, he noticed a few mares looking at him with flirty eyes, some even smacked their flanks at him or blew kisses at him. The attention only made him feel a bit uncomfortable and continue on his own.
As he walked, a voice behind him said with surprise
"Drake?"
The yautja alicorn turned around and saw Rarity and a little young filly with her. The filly had a similar coat, but had green eyes and a purple and light pink mane and tail. Drake looked at the two and said
"Hello Rarity. What brings you here?"
"Oh I'm just dropping off my sister Sweetie Belle to school." Rarity replied
The filly in question only looked at the yautja equine with gleaming eyes and said
"Wow! Your the stallion that beat Tirek AND a bugbear?! That is so great! You must be a really powerful alicorn where your from."
The statement left Drake flattered and a bit embarrassed at the attention the filly gave him and said
"Thank you for your compliments little one. And for the second part, I wouldn't say I'm powerful that much. I have my Master to thank for that."
The filly only continued to look with interest at the hunter, until Rarity said
"Well, we must be off to school, I'll see you soon darling." Rarity said
Drake nodded his head and left the two to head to their location. As Drake wandered around the village, he was unsure of what to do for the day. He looked around at the sky and saw the pegasi doing their routines for the weather on the clouds.
The yautja pony was unable to think of what to do for the day. Normally on his planet, he would go for a hunt and claim a trophy of any prey he would come across, but now that didn't seem to be the case with him. He was in a new planet and didn't understand the customs of its people, or in this specific case ponies. As he walked, he bumped into another mare.
The mare was revealed to Rainbow Dash, who noticed the alicorn and said
"Hey Drake, what are you doing?"
"I'm doing well Rainbow Dash, but I'm not really doing anything at the moment."
"Oh. Well right now I'm free from work. You wanna come and hang?"
"I guess so." Drake replied
"Cool! Come on!"
The rainbow haired mare sped away, leaving Drake in the dust. After a few seconds. She came back and said
"Um, are you coming?"
"About that, I...uh.."
"What?"
"I can't I'm really fly well." Drake said
"Really? Wow. You never learned to fly that good?"
"My master was going to teach me to use magic and flight...but."
"But what?"
"He.....moved on." Drake said with a sad tone as his head looked on the ground.
Rainbow Dash, knowing what the alicorn yautja was saying, gave a look of pity and said
"Oh. I'm sorry if i-"
Drake however, cut her off and said with reassurance
"It's fine, you didn't know. " Drake said
The two then slowly recollected themselves as Rainbow Dash said
"Well, I know a place where we can train for you. Follow me."
Rainbow Dash then led Drake with a hoof on his to another location, with Drake getting a gut feeling of either dismay or fear at what might occur.
As soon as they reached the place, it appeared to be a few minutes away from PonyVille. And the duo began to start from the basics.
(Unknown location)
The place was filled with darkness, there was nothing seen and there were sounds of growling and screams being heard from across one room. The inside revealed a large bug like equine with a black criwn and green eyes looking over some creatures that looked similar to her, but with blue eyes and small size as they slithered from the ground to her hooves.
"Soon, I'll make sure that Twilight Sparkle and her little friends will pay! And that nothing will stop me from taking over Equestria with my Changelings!"
She laughed as she looked at her changelings slithering, but as she did, she was unaware an observer was making her his next trophy....
