Pain. It was all she knew. From the broken bones to the brand on her cheek, she felt it all. Ever since that Mystable page was created her life, literally, became Tartarus. Not only that, her friends had abandoned her. The girls who she had come to see as sisters just tossed her to the wayside. She thought that showing them the Journal would help them see the truth, but all she got was a slap to the face, both literally and figuratively. "YER NOT WANTED HERE SUNSET!" That phrase revurberated around her already tortured mind, even now, as she laid broken here in this abandoned warehouse. The reason she was even here in the first place was a text she received from Rainbow Dash, asking her to meet up at the school gym. That was a mistake as when she got there, thirty students led by Gilda ambushed her. Sunset put up a tremendous fight, but in the end she was overpowered and knocked out. When she came to, she found herself in an abandoned warehouse, tied to a metal pole.
After another round of beatings, including a branding of her cheek which was in the shape of a crude image of her cutie-mark, she passed out again due to the immense amount of pain in her system. Due to the drop in temperature, and the fact that it was almost Christmas, Sunset started shivering uncontrollably. After a while she started losing all feeling in her hands and feet, clear signs of hypothermia. It was during this bout of hypothermia that brought on this current train of thought: Fine. If I'm not wanted here, I'll leave. Don't know where I can go though. Maybe Twilight...........nah, going back to Equestria means facing Celestia, and I'm not ready for that. While she was contemplating where to go, a beam of moonlight shone down on her from a hole in the roof. Sunset tried her best to look up at the beam and made a wish: I wish to be on a world where I belong, a world where I can have a family, a world where I can be loved.
And with that Sunset Shimmer, former bully turned friend turned scapegoat(Cause let's be honest, she is a scapegoat.) closed her eyes and drifted into unconsciousness, her final thoughts being Goodbye Twilight, you too Spike. You were the only friends I could count on. Farewell Princess Celestia, I'm sorry I wasn't able to earn the right to be called your daughter.
But what no one noticed was the way Sunset started glowing, her bindings melting away and her broken body rising a few feet before vanishing in a flash of golden light. When Gilda and her lackeys returned for another round of beating up Sunset, said mare-turned girl was nowhere to be seen. All that remained were the ropes that were used to bind Sunset to said pole, however said ropes looked as if they were burned away by some sort of........................acid. There was even some sort of gel-like substance near the burnt away ropes. Gilda, after seeing that Sunset was missing, started freaking out: what if Sunset got away? what if she was able to get the police on their tails? what if-no, Sunset HAD to be found.
"Well, what are you dweebs waiting for?! GET LOOKING! She couldn't have gone far, not in her condition." Thus began the mad hunt for Sunset Shimmer, unaware that Anon-A-Miss had put up ANOTHER post minutes prior to Sunset's disappearance.
Meanwhile: Hive Entrance, Sub-level 3, Atmosphere Processing Station, Hadley's Hope Colony, LV-426(a.k.a. Acheron)
"Aw, man, why am I assigned Entrance duty? I should be out there, looking for that kid that keeps givin' us the slip. Every time one of us gets close, she bolts! It's like she's got the whole layout of the colony air vents memorized.
I mean really, it's not like we're gonna use her as a host, that's reserved for the mature females, iffn' ya know what I mean, Wink Wink. We're just lookin' out for her safety." These are the thoughts going through the mind of a creature only seen in nightmares. A creature so deadly, even its blood can kill you. A creature so scary, you'll never want to-
[Random Pony in the Audience]: "We get it! It's a scary, deadly creature. Get on with it!"
[Clears throat]Yes! indeed, Said creature is known by many names: Serpents, Hard Meats, kiande amedha, BUGS even. But its most famous name is the one.........the only..........XEEEEEEEEEEEEEENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMOOOOOOOOOORRRRRPPPPPPHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Cricket chirps, random pony coughs]
[Annoyed]: Right, onward.
AAAAAANYWAY, said Xenomorph was a Warrior and was so busy grousing about how unfair his life was when a golden glow appeared behind him. When the glow receded all that was left was the broken form of a teenage girl, with golden skin which was positively marred with black and blue marks, cuts all over her body, and-GOOD GOD! IS THAT A BRAND MARK ON HER CHEEK?! "What is it my child, what happened?" "My Queen, a human girl just appeared in a flash of golden light. She's very badly injured." the Xeno Warrior placed his head on the girls' chest trying to find a pulse. He found one, but it was very weak. "Her pulse is weak,she might not make it." All but a second went by before the Warrior was given permission to bring the girl to the "throne room." He(yes it's a male, there are male and female Xenoes) then gently picked up the injured girl, and carried her to where the Queen resides.
After a little while, the Warrior(who we'll name Xen) carrying the injured high schooler reached the Queen's chamber, and gently placed her in the Queen's arms. The Queen then examined said girl, going over each and every wound. "It would appear that she has multiple cracked ribs, more lacerations than I can hope to guess, her arms are broken in multiple locations and-" A loud roar was heard all throughout the colony, the reason being the brand on the poor girl's face. "My Queen, what's wrong?" Xen questioned worried for the state the Queen was in. "The brand, it was burned into her very bones. She will carry it for the rest of her life." the Queen answered with a mournful whine. "Can anything be done to heal her, my Queen?" "She will need to ingest some of my Royal Jelly, then she will need whatever medicine is left at the human colony, next she will need plenty of rest to recover her strength"
"Understood, my Queen. May I be the one to watch over her?" Xen asked over the hivemind.
"You may, Xen. She will be your responsibility." The Queen informs. She then opens the girl's mouth and inserts her inner mouth, releasing a gel-like substance into the girl's mouth. Said girl, reflexively, swallows all of it. The Queen, then, instructed Xen to take the girl to Medical so that she could rest and recuperate. She, then instructed her drones to repair what they could of the colony, that included the comm tower.(What you may not know is that xenomorphs retain the memories of their hosts, even the ones that are born the human way.) The drones went off to carry out their tasks, leaving the Queen alone to contemplate on the fiery-haired girl and the events that led to her current condition. 'I do not envy the pain she will experience during the transformation, but it was the only way to save her.'
Sunset woke up in some sort of medical room(which is ironic because the room literally is called Medical.), a futuristic-looking medical room at that. There was a heater on a table near her bed, keeping her warm. She was wrapped from head to toe in bandages, even her cheek had one. W-what happened? Where am I? How did I get here? Where did these bandages come from? "You're in Medical, in a colony on another planet." came an unknown voice. Sunset sat up as much as she could in fright. "Who said that?!" "I did. And I gotta say, you looked like you picked a fight with a Hunter, or a Praetorian. Whatever it was you simply looked awful. Luckily I was the one to find you. A few more minutes and you would've died." Sunset's eyes widened at that. "Thank you for saving me, if you hadn't well the less said about that the better. So you gonna come outta the shadows, or am I gonna have to drag you out?" "You sure? I mean I'm preeeeeeetty scary, and deadly. You may be begging for a weapon to defend yourself-" "I'm sure." ".................As you wish. Turn to your left."
That was the last thing Sunset heard before doing just that, only to come across one of the most terrifying creatures in cinema history: a Xenomorph, a Warrior to be exact. On the outside, Sunset had a stoic expression on her face, but on the inside.........................she felt a, sort of warmth, in her cheeks, which turned red with the blushing they were doing. She tried to reach out to the Warrior to place her hand on his cheek, only to wince in pain. "Whoa, whoa take it easy there, you still need to heal. Both arms and legs were broken, ribs cracked, and more bruises than I can count, not to mention the bout of hypothermia." Sunset couldn't believe her ears, it was that bad?! Only one thought passed through her mind: "How the Tartarus am I still alive?!" "You can thank our Queen for that. She gave you some of her Royal Jelly. That's never been done before, so we're not sure what it'll do to you." Sunset pondered over this bit, only to realize she never introduced herself. "Oh! I just remembered! I never told you my name. Hi! I'm Sunset Shimmer, what's yours?" "It's Xen, nice to meet you Sunset." Sunset thought that name in her head to test how it sounded. "Xen, I like it, it suits you."
This caused Xen to be the one blushing(Don't ask how, let's just say imagination magic), turning a shade of chartreuse. lasjnvksdfverhfkjhewgkjehrlkjgkherbkwjhfkerfkewbgkwerhflkjebkwejrlkjwgweglkjwtbkewhfokwrfkjehgkjwfkwefkjerbfkherbgkjerbkjrhfoehowkehgowrhgokwehgokwrhokwrhgkowejfowthgokwho3ugorhjhrgjhwebfjherbfhjwerbfhjerbfjherbfijhewrbfkoerbfjhrbhwefbokerfokwehokjwfkwerfwhgowkerfheuwghokhwerbfuethgokehrggokwehgokhgokrfbjhrbforbfokrbfokerbgowhebghjwerfboherfbokwehokuweghoughoeghowkuehourhokewerokwewebwehbkhwefbvwebvhwefbhwefbwhebwerfoerfhrbhwerbgwegowkegwokgokwthgokwuehokweuhgokwgokwegokweowkehokuwehgokuwehgokuwerhokuwerhokuwhokurhoiurhgourhgokuwrghoweughoweuvhokweuhowuehokwhvkdhvoqukfhfkvhowkfjvhlskdjfhowkerhvkwefbfokwefhkwerbfkwebfwerhbfkwebwhebkhwebfwehrbkwefwefkmwfkv wkemfwerkwmfv wkfv kwfnmv wkefm wkkv weforweohrobwhrerv wfvb24ohfbwjevweorfbwerbvkwjhfkwebfhkwefbfkjwerbfkherjfkwebfwefbwokbfewkhrffjwebferbforkhwehfkwerhfkwekerbfkerjrbkwhefbfkwerbkwbfkwerfbrkfkwnfkerfbkjwer
