Ambush

Location: Castle of Friendship

The Mane Six and Spike were having a sleepover. At around 2 AM, one of the Mane Six was kidnapped and replaced with an alien called a Xenomorph. This specific Xenomorph was a shapeshifter, meaning it could take the shape of anything. However, the pony that was kidnapped let out a bloodcurdling scream, waking everyone up.

There is 1 imposter among us.

Apparently, Xenomorphs aren’t the best at kidnapping quietly, so the castle needed fixing. It was a huge mess. The Mane Six got to work. Everypony had different tasks to do.

While Rainbow Dash was fixing the chandelier in the throne room, she heard a thud. She looked behind her and saw Applejack... dead. She screamed at the top of her lungs in horror. The rest of the Mane Six entered the throne room. "Applejack's dead!", Rainbow Dash cried.

"Yeah, we see that", Twilight replied. She looked upwards. "She must've been tossed from up above somewhere. And Rainbow Dash was fixing the chandelier... and she and Applejack have a rivalry... and there was no one else in the room. RAINBOW DASH IS THE IMPOSTER!"

"What?!", Rainbow Dash replied. Pinkie Pie took her out her easy bake confetti cake cannon and launched Rainbow Dash into space. "FUCK YOOOOOOOOU!"

Cyan was not the imposter. 1 imposter remains.

"We murdered an innocent pony... well, back to work, I guess", Spike said. The remaining members of the Mane Six and Spike resumed their tasks. After hearing the news that Applejack died, Apple Bloom entered the castle. However, Spike thought that Apple Bloom was the imposter since the scream last night sounded like a filly screaming. Apple Bloom was then launched into space. "Nice try, imposter!"

You shot a filly into space. What is wrong with you?

Once her tasks were finished, Pinkie Pie went to the kitchen to raid the fridge. Twilight, Fluttershy, Spike, and Rarity quickly surrounded her. "Uh... what are you guys doing?"

"Why are you raiding the fridge, Pinkie?", Twilight asked.

"I haven’t had anything to eat yet", Pinkie answered.

"Hmm... you seem kinda sus, Pinkie", Twilight replied.

"Really? Where's your proof?", Pinkie retorted.

"That knife has blood on it!", Twilight responded.

"It's ketchup, dummy", Pinkie annoyingly replied. Twilight, now wearing a look of suspicion, walked off, with the others following her.

Meanwhile, Rarity finished what Rainbow Dash started and finished fixing the chandelier in the throne room. Spike was with her. Suddenly, the lights went out. Rarity used her horn and Spike used his fire breath to light up the throne room. They found a fuse box in the throne room. They fixed the wiring. They found a second fuse box in the bedroom. They fixed the wiring. They found a third fuse box in the kitchen. They fixed the wiring, and the lights came back on. Fluttershy was found dead in the kitchen. Rarity screamed at the top of her lungs. Twilight and Pinkie had already entered the kitchen, seemingly sensing that Fluttershy had died. "I knew that wasn't ketchup!", Twilight yelled.

"What? I didn't kill Fluttershy!", Pinkie Pie retorted. But Twilight had heard enough. She launched Pinkie into space.

Pink was not the imposter. 1 imposter remains.

"What?!", Spike asked. He turned to the two remaining ponies. "Which one of you is the imposter?!"

"It's Twilight!/It's Rarity!", the two unicorns said.

"Not talking, huh?", Spike replied. "Then I have a question only the real Twilight or Rarity would know. What's the name of Twilight's older brother?" Twilight started sweating. She let out an inhuman screech.

"Shining Armor", Rarity answered. Suddenly, appendages tore through the fake skeleton. A bulbous head tore through the fake skull. Sharp teeth broke through the fake teeth. The Xenomorph fully tore through his disguise, stood up, and screeched. "Twilight was the imposter! Run!" Rarity and Spike ran through the castle with the Xenomorph hot on their tails. Rarity grabbed her crush and tossed him on her back since she could run faster that Spike thanks to her four legs. The Xenomorph, however, was much more agile and climbed on the walls while chasing the duo. Rarity and Spike made it into the throne room and barricaded the door using the Cutie Map and the thrones. The Xenomorph ran into the doors and knocked itself unconscious. However, it quickly recovered and banged on the doors, but the Cutie Map was impenetrable, and the thrones provided a second barricade.

"What are we gonna do?! We can't keep this up forever!", Spike said.

"Don't worry, Spike. I have an idea", Rarity replied. Eventually, the Xenomorph broke through the barricades, but Rarity's martial arts skills proved to be more than a match for the alien. She and the Xenomorph fought while Spike looked for a weapon that could kill a Xenomorph. However, the castle was full of crystals, so there was nothing he could use. Suddenly, a Yautja arrived at the castle. Spike was somehow able to understand what it was saying. Apparently, the Xenomorph that was disguised as Twilight was an intergalactic outlaw. The Yautja asked where the Xenomorph was. It followed Spike into the throne room, where it was about to kill Rarity, the last of the Mane Six. Suddenly, the Predator's blade pierced the chest of the Alien. The Xenomorph fell to the ground, dead. "Well, that escalated quickly." The Xenomorph was then launched into space.

Purple was the imposter. 0 imposters remain.

The Yautja saluted Spike and Rarity and left. Twilight then ran over. "Guys! You won't believe what happened! A Xenomorph kidnapped me and its crew tried to impregnate me, but I was able to escape and even caused the spaceship to blow up", she said. However, Spike and Rarity thought that this was the Xenomorph tricking them again because Twilight should be dead if she got abducted by insect-like killer aliens that were trying to impregnate her. Spike and Rarity shared a skeptical look, and, without a second thought, launched Twilight into space.

Twilight was ejected.
