Alien vs Predator: Equestria

The sun was slowly descending from the sky, casting a bright orange glow over the land. The sight was always one which was admired for all those that took the time to admire the sight. Although on this night, one small group of ponies couldn't take the time to look at it.

Trotting through the forest, five ponies were being accompanied by four royal guards on their way to find out what odd object had crashed into the ground. Leading in the front of the group was the head of the unit, Doc. While he was enthusiastic on looking into whatever landed, but he was not happy about three random mares coming along with the group as well. Twilight was the only one of the three in which didn't bother him too much since she was known for being very intelligent, but she was still not field material.

Trotting in the middle of the group, a sandy yellow pegasus looked up to see the smoke still rising in the trees ahead of them. 'We're close. Judging by the angle, we should only be a few minutes from the site.' she thought to herself. Years out on different expeditions gave her the skills to determine many necessary tricks for locating important points of desire.

Her thoughts of the mission were cut short when a certain cyan pegasus landed by her side. "So..." Rainbow Dash said with a huge grin, "When do you do your next awesome adventure out in Equestria?"

Daring Do tried to keep her patience in check; Rainbow had been constantly asking her different questions on her past adventures, what kind of Tactics she used to find her items, or even what was her favorite food! She looked over to her grinning fan, "Well, i'm not sure exactly when I'm going to have another story out."

"Where are you going to go this time?"

"Rainbow, do you want to go ahead?"

Rainbow turned to see Twilight by her side, "Why go ahead?"

Twilight grinned at her, "It's always important to scout ahead of the team to make assure we are on the right path."

Rainbow's smile spread to each ear hearing she had an important task. Not saying anything, she took off ahead of the team through the trees and disapeared from view.

Daring turned to the purple unicorn with a questioning look, "Scouting?"

Twilight smiled at the archeologist, "I just thought that you could use a break from of those questions."

Daring chuckled at hearing that, "Thanks for that."

"No problem. Rainbow just gets really excited around celebrities."

The smile on the Pegasus slowly faded at hearing those words, 'celebrity, that's all I am to ponies.'

Towards the back of the group, Applejack was walking by the guards that were traveling with them. She felt a little awkward because pretty much the entire walk they had not said a single word. Looking over to the brown unicorn to her right, she decided to try to break up the silence, "So, uh, do y'all like being in the guard?"

The guard didn't even look her way. She glared at him with cold eyes, "Ya know, y'all don't have to act all proper out here; princess isn't around. Why  don't cha try to relax for a little?"

"Hmm, she does have a point." one of the guards said from behind. Trotting up to the orange mare, the white Pegasus gave an awkward smile to her, "Sorry about not talking. We are so used to keeping composure we sometimes are stuck in that mindset."

Applejack smiled "It's alright sugarcube. What's your name?"

"I'm Wind Seeker." he said.

"And I'm Swift wing." a dark gray Pegasus came up beside Wind, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasures mine." Applejack grinned. She then turned back around to the unicorn guard who still looked forward. Frowning, she looked back to the other two guards, "So what's with grumpy horn here?"

Swift chuckled at that, "Don't worry about Breaker, he just takes his job really serious."

"Yeah, I noticed." Applejack responded.

The group continued on for a few minutes, weaving in and out of the thick tress,when suddenly they all came to a stop to what beheld them. Doc was astounded by the sight, "What in the-"

The entire forest ahead of them for over a hundred feet had been obliterated; trees were snapped and uprooted, spread out across the destroyed ground. Small fires were scattered throughout, the smoldering embers slowly losing their energy. Not a single form of life was seen besides a cyan Pegasus.

"Rainbow!" Twilight called out as she ran to her friend. When she got there, she was perplexed, "Rainbow, what's wrong?"

The pegasus was staring down the destroyed path of tress, mouth agape. Without looking, she lifted her hoof to the side of Twilights face and pushed it to face where she was looking.

"Oh sweet Celestia."

Not eight hundred feet away was the object that had fallen from the sky earlier that day. The front half of the giant metal object was buried deep in the dirt. The enormous wings on its sides we're cracked and bent in all sorts of odd directions. Fire still trickled out of the gaping holes that were located at the very back of the structure.

"That's what we are supposed to investigate?" Wind shakingly asked.

Doc gave a slight nod as he swallowed the lump in his throat, "Come on. Let's do this."

Slowly, all eight ponies slowly made their way down the wrecked forest path to the base of the Oddity. Being so close to it showed it was much larger than they thought; the height to the top was at least fifty feet to the top, and what they could see of the ship not in the dirt, it was over a hundred and fifty feet long. They all felt like small, insignificant ants by the behemoth.

Breaker stared in awe to the great structure before him. It was different than the royal castle, but the sight of it was just as spectacular. He then was curious on what happened next, "So, what are you supposed to look for?"

Twilight turned to look at the guard, "well, I think we have to go... Inside of this to figure it out. It has to be some sort of giant metal airship; the shape is similar to the ones in Canterlot, but this doesn't have the air balloon, and this is enormous!."

Cautiously going up to it, Daring put her hoof on the side and gave it a slight tap. To her surprise she could hear a small echo from the other side, "This thing is hollow. It must have an opening somewhere for us to get inside."

"And here it is." Doc answered from twenty feet away, "This small section must have been ripped off when it crashed."

All of the ponies looked at the hole in the side of the wall. There was nothing that they could see beyond the opening but darkness. Applejack felt sweat begin dripping down her body, "Ah ain't goin in there. Ah think ah'll wait out here for ya."

Swift gave her a concerned look, "We should not separate from each other. Besides, it is going to be dark outside anyway."

Twilight turned to Doc to ask what she had been thinking on, "What if we find... Others inside of there?"

He cast a small grin, "I came prepared just in case." Slipping off the satchel he was carrying, Doc poured out the contents. All of the other ponies gave questioning looks to the objects.

Rainbow took her eyes off the items to look at the Doc, "What the heck are they?"

He cast an even bigger smile than before, "Say hello to my latest invention; the revolver."

There was three separate objects in the pile. Each had a small metal bracelet attached to the right side of a slim, metal box. On the left side of the box, there was a strange spinning piece. Set below the box was a lever that stuck out. The end of the box was a slim steel barrel.

"These are projectile weapons that I made. Here, this is how you use them." Doc slipped his hoof inside one of the bracelets, lifting the item with ease, "You want to look down the length of it to find the target you want, then you push this to shoot." he placed his left hoof on the lever and nudged it slightly, making sure he didn't push all the way.

Breaker gave a frown at the small contraption, "What kind of weapon is that? I'd take a sword over that any day."

"Trust me, this little item has more power than an average magical blast. You do not want to be hit by one of these. Alright, Swift and Wind, since you don't have magic, you two can use my others."

"Hey,why can't I have one?" Rainbow asked.

Doc lifted an eyebrow towards the colorful Pegasus, "Because... I made these, so I know how to use them, so I get one. And secondly, no offense, I trust the guards a little more."

Rainbow frowned and turned away, "Fine."

The two Pegasus guards slipped on their new weapons, surprised to feel how comfortable they were on their hooves. Swift then walked over to the opening of the monstrous metal mass, staring into the dark hole, "So, are you all prepared?"

"Yes we are." Doc answered as he walked up beside the guard, "Let's do this quick and head back to Canterlot. Let's just hope we don't have any trouble."
