*Gear info: Dropsuits*

*The Dropsuits are the personal body armor worn by clone mercenaries on the battlefield they are both armored and shielded as well as having environmental systems to protect the wearer on the hostile environments they find themselves in the various battlefields of New Eden.

The Dropsuit's generally weigh between 500 pounds to half a ton depending on frame size with Heavy armor weighing the most and light frames (scouts and pilots ect ect) Dropsuit's weighing the least.

Dropsuits can be modified to fit many roles on the battlefield so you never truly know what you'll see on the battlefield so having multiple fits is crucial to reacting to the changing tactics of your foes.

A fantastic example of this would be the assault class widely agreed on to be one of the most versatile class in the field, weather being a hard hitting sniper or a heavily shielded front line soldier it can and will be able to do most things effectively and is used by most of the immortals in deployment for that reason.

I hopped down from the serpent's hand grunting as I hit the ground, the 'ponies' not far behind as they decided to step down once the ground was close enough. Twilight lead the way as we quickly made hast to.....wherever it was I was following these strange women to. We walked for some time before the purple woman gasped, "There it is, the ruins that hold the elements of harmony! " the woman exclaimed in joy rushing towards the bridge that connected said ruins to our current position.

"Twilight wait for us!" AppleJack shouted, a valid warning as not a second later the purple woman was flailing over the edge of a cliff.

"Got ya!"RainbowDash yelled pulling her friend from her doom,"What's with you and falling off of cliffs today." She quipped getting a raised eyebrow from me, though she couldn't know this.

"What do we do now?"Pinky asked biting her lip.

"Duh."Rainbow stated flaring her large wings before jumping off the cliff.

"Oh right." She giggled a large smile on her face.

It was at this moment I felt a weak tugging on my armor, I quickly spun around my hands instinctively finding my blades only to find a frightened looking Twilight, most likely from my sudden movement; with a doubly frightened looking FlutterShy failing to hide behind her.

"Yes..." I drawled after a moment of silence removing my hands from my blades seemingly snapping the short, by my standards anyway, girl from her shock.

"Well since we're here for a few moments I'd like to ask you a few questions."she smiled nervously after saying this pulling a notepad and pen from......somewhere ~~decent i hope~~ managing to gather Rarity and AppleJack's attention as well. I motioned for her to continue causing her to hug the pad to her chest and squeal in happiness, I think....

"First of all what are you?"she questioned getting entirely too close for my personal comfort, hell I think her eyes might be sparkling.

"I'm a human, to specify a soldier of the Minmatar republic." I answered.

"Do all human's look like you?"she pushed, presitant girl I'll give her that.

"No, humans can have a variety of skin tones, hair color, eye color and other traits. " I deadpanned, though I don't think she cared how I gave answers as she scribbled away.

"You said you were from the Minmatar republic, does that mean humans have different empires? Pinky, who I could have sworn was at least 20 feet away last I checked, got in my face along the purple ~~rapist~~ woman.

I nodded before answering the physics defying woman. "Yes there are four known races: the Gallente our allies, the Calldari, the Ammar, And the Minmatar." I finished my listing, the mention of the Ammarian scum bringing a frown to my face as well as reminding me of the woman Faust.

Rarity then decided to jump in the conversation, thankfully not getting close like her fellow ponies did, ~~good thing too i dont think i could stand being any closer to that rack~~ "Do all humans dress like...."she trailed off gesturing to my armor with a look of disgust on her face causing me to chuckle lightly and shake my head. "Well regardless darling you simply must allow me to make clothes for you when we get back home, ohhh I'll be the first seamstress in equestria to make cloths for a human!" She squealed hands cupping her face as she blushed her shapely hips swaying.

While I was wondering if it was safe, for me, to snap the woman out of her fantasies AppleJack took the moment to speak.

"So partner you said you were a soldier, so how many humans have y'all killed." The question had caught the attention of the other ponies causing both Twilight and Pinky to step away from me as I closed my eyes in thought, I stood silent for a moment before opening my eyes having my answer.

"I have never killed a human before." I could see the answer confused them it was written across their faces." I have in all technicalities never killed a human." The thought caused me to let out a heavy sigh and look upwards. "So does that mean I am not truly human myself?" It wasn't a question I expected them to answer as a large mirthless grin spread on my face, hell I didn't know the answer myself.

Rainbow decided to take this moment to come back distracting the other ponies with her landing.

"Took you long enough to get back." I poked getting a snort and an absolutely ridiculous pose from the winged woman.

"Like I'd ever leave my friends hanging. " she replied her teeth sparkling causing me to facepalm, well as much as I could with this armor in the way.

Quickly crossing the bridge made it to the doors of the old ruin Twilight rushed to the door pushing against it with all her might with no success, after watching her do this with half lidded eyes for a moment I picked her up by the collar, while doing my best to ignore her squealing, and set her down to my side before pulling on one of the door's large handles the large barrier smoothly opening despite it's age, I gestured for the rather embarrassed looking Twilight to move forward the blushing woman doing so with her multi colored friends in tow.

When we got inside I was mildly surprised by what we found there, a large alter with head sized balls propped up on five pillars surrounding it.

"Well go on twilight, isn't this what you been waiting for?" AppleJack asked with a soft smile the now beaming Twilight nodding frantically at this point.

"The elements of harmony." The violet woman breathed mentioning her winged companions to grab the objects both Fluttershy and RainbowDash moving to do so , after the spheres were collected I noticed Pinky frowning while counting the relics.

"There's only five where's the sixth one?" She exclaimed causing me to once again raise an unseen brow.

"The book says when the five are present a sparkle shalt bring forth the sixth." Twilight said taking a knee.

"And just what in the hay is that supposed to mean?" Applejack spoke clearly frustrated.

Twilight shook her head "I don't know but I have an idea, stand back I don't know what'll happen." She finished by closing her eyes her horn glowing in a light purple light.

"Come on now yall she needs ta concentrate. " AppleJack ushered us out of the room.

Now outside I ignored the women for the moment as I checked checked the clip of my mass driver first the rounds , then spinning it to check to see if it was smooth before slamming it home an action I secretly, and childishly, enjoyed doing.

Not a second after I had finished doing doing this I picked up the surprised yell of twilight, switching the safety on my weapon off I rushed inside with the five remaining women in tow. We entered the building to find no Twilight causing her friends to frantically look for her, me not so much. Rarity quickly pointed out a shining tower outside and the others quickly attempted to make their way back to the door, I say attempted because I quickly stopped them causing an ear ringing amount of yelling as I silently pointed towards the doorway where over 30 dark armored women with large leathery wings had appeared.

"As soon as I make an exit run I'll hold them off" I cut off any argument as I turned my mass driver towards the farthest wall I could and fired creating a large hole in the flimsy stone. "Go now!" I ordered rushing forward to intercept one of the charging hostiles.

" Just don't die on us ya hear!" AppleJack yelled over her shoulder as I clothes lined a soldier who tried to go after them.

"Wouldn't matter if I did babe!" I yelled back as she and the rest of the colorful women escaped, missing my words.

Now giving my full attention to the task at hand I turned threw the first woman at another that thought she was being sneaky knocking them both out with the familiar sound of breaking bone sounding through the air, but not killing them as I readied my mass driver to finish them off before what Faust had said hit me like a ton of bricks, I was supposed to be trying to save these races not kill them, and offing the inhabitants wasn't the best first impression. I cursed strapping my mass driver to my back before unsheathing my nova knives flipping them into a reverse grip as the, what I presume to be guards of some kind, surrounded me.

I grunted surveying my situation for a moment noticing I saw not a single male in the ranks, it could be that the males didn't look to different or perhaps the race lacked them....

I shook my head from these thoughts backhanding one who came from behind breaking her jaw before kicking another with enough force to crack her ribs, the woman crunching against a wall soon after. Any further thoughts were rudely interrupted by a short sword being thrust at my face I easily swatted it aside and elbowed the rude woman in the face her head snapping back and taking her out of the fight, I felt kind of bad as I continued to toy with the guards, who are fighting an enemy they can't hope to best but continue to oppose, in under 60 seconds I had forced over half of the female warriors into the land of dreams those that had remained having backed into a corner of the large room as I slammed one of their comrades faces into one of the conveniently close, and now crimson splashed, pillars, letting the poor protector drop I turned towards the last of my targets toying with the armor on my hands as I had put my blades away a while ago finding I didn't need them.

As I moved towards the now quivering a women, who instead of wings had a horn fired a blood red a shot of energy at me what ever she was hoping it would do failed as it exploded against my shields not even stopping my advance as they snapped back to full. As I got closer another one of the guards rushed forward with a spear a panicked look in her eyes as the weapon broke against my shields, I didn't give her time to react as I gripped her by the throat and lifted her to eye level the furry female now having tears running down her face, I was very sick of toying with these pathetic guards as my thoughts went towards crushing this one's throat and smashing the others skulls against the walls.

"Please stop!" Out of all the things I expected to hear that wasn't one.

I lowered the woman I was holding some, though not bothering to release my grip, to look at one of the guards, the one who had shot me with that red energy, now on her hands and knees her fellows looking at her in amazement. "Just please, stop she doesn't deserve this."she pleaded head bowed low.

"DarkShield wha-" one of her shaking companions started but was silenced by a glare and a hiss from the bowing woman.

"We won't fight anymore just let her go I beg of you she's just a recruit." I looked at the woman in my hand for a moment before dropping her causing her to look up at me in surprise before she started crying twice as hard my hand moved to wipe away the tears causing her to flinch for a moment before she calmed down a bit leaning into my hand.

"I didn't want to fight you, you know." I stated kneeling to cup her face in my hands wishing the girl had stopped crying by now."Your friends are still alive too." I finished ruffling her hair as I stood up addressing all of them, thinking it better to leave out of what I had been thinking of doing them before.

My thoughts traveled to one question: why?

Why had I stopped?

Why didn't I just kill them despite Faust?

Why had I comforted the woman that was now hugging my legs and refused to let go despite my numerous attempts to shake her off?

Why?

Was it pity perhaps?

Or something else?

Was this what it meant to be human? To show compassion to those who could give you nothing?

My thoughts were shaken from this path as I heard a scream from an unfamiliar voice in the tower outside, I quickly make my way there with the few awake guards in tow, after all if they tried anything I could just splatter them across the walls.

Ah, thoughts back to normal.

After all what makes me immortal if not my insanity?

Author's Note

Was thinking of making a 7th element and giving it to Victor but decided against it in the end, what do yall think about that decision?

If you hit the downvote button, tell me why.

Very first fic so critisisum is valuable ( in my opinion anyway )

For those who are wondering no Victor is not a self insert but rather based on my friend Sinboto who thankfully isn't a brony and doesn't visit this site or I'd be dead (don't tell him either he'd seriously have my hide)
