*Weapon info: Mass Drivers.*

*The Mass Driver is an explosive area of denial anti infantry weapon that fires live grenades.The weapon while simple in it's design is undeniably powerful and hated by those who don't use them to the point that any who equip them in the field have been designated 'Massholes' by the general populace.

The Mass Driver has three variants :

The 'standard' Mass Driver that fires powerful explosive rounds to quickly decimate armored infantry and take chunks off of their shielded counterparts.

The 'Assault' Mass Driver has a higher ROF, effective damage radius, and a larger magazine size but this comes at the price of a less damaging explosives to compensate.

The 'Breach' Mass driver is perhaps the hardest of the three to use as it's effective damage area is extremely small, however it counters this by having an extremely powerful explosive that can even destroy hostile vehicles in the right hands.

Clone: 7,674 uses the standard Mass Driver*

I nearly broke the doors off their hinges as I burst into the room, sighing in relief as I saw the six ponies unharmed. Although I did notice they were sporting some new jewelry. They all had some kind of necklace, except for Twilight who was wearing what appeared to be a crown.

It was then that I noticed the new pony in the room. Something that I should have figured was out of place upon entry was an unnaturally beautiful blue coated woman who was almost as tall as myself at 7.0. As well she strangely enough had both wings and a horn, and was dressed in a stunning ultramarine dress. The dress split in the front to show off her bountiful F-Cup cleavage, her long dark navy blue hair blowing in an nonexistent wind.

"My lady!" One of the guards, DarkShield if I remember her name correctly, exclaimed happily as she and her other guards surrounded their superior. The six I had followed here made their way towards me with grins on their faces.

"Good to see you civs are ok." I quipped a smile both on my face and my voice.

"Could say the same to you. I didn't think you'd make it out." Rainbow shot back.

"Actually darling, how did you make it out you were dreadfully outnumbered, and why are some of them with you?" Rarity asked her curiosity poorly hidden.

This question caused the others to look at me expectantly, leaning in like I had some sort of great secret to tell.

"I fought them, then we agreed to stop fighting, and some came with me." I deadpanned causing a few of the colorful girls to drop their jaws.

"B-But there were so many..." Fluttershy said in what seemed like awe.

"They were no match for a Minmatar soldier." I said with a cheeky grin removing my helmet just so they could see it.

"No Fluttershy's right no stallion could have possibly fought all of those guards at once and won. How'd you really do it?" Rainbow questioned with her hands on her hips, getting a raised eyebrow from me. Something that I found myself doing a lot lately.

"I assume that a stallion is your kind's male correct?" I asked getting a round of nods.

I closed my eyes and cupped my chin at this, there may have been a reason for the lack of male guards when I had fought earlier. Were the males here physically weaker or something. I was about to speak when the one of said guards walked up, the one who had been crying.

"It's true!" She exclaimed a defiant look on her face. "He took out more then half of my platoon!"She argued getting shocked looks from not just those who she was talking to, but the royalty she served as well. All of them looking at me with slack jawed looks on there faces.

"He was so strong..." She drawled off looking away, I swear I saw a blush on her face but that can't be, she's covered in fur anyway.

"I never caught your name miss..." I motioned for her to fill the gap, her leathery wings shifted on her back and she looked down.

"It's Shadowspear sir." She responded turning away, was she still afraid of me perhaps?

Most likely

At this time I noticed the stares I was getting.

"What is it?" I asked not understanding the looks.

"For a lowly stallion to do such a thing is truly impressive." The noble stated, making my left eye twitch.

"Anyway..." Applejack started trying to draw away from the conversation. "I thought you were spouting a bunch of hooey when you said we could do this Twilight, but we really pulled through." She finished with a large smile gracing her lips.

"Indeed you have." A new voice spoke, preceding a blinding flash of light as another joined the room, a suddenly rising sun behind her shining on her 7.4 form. She shared slight similarity with the royal behind me in the fact that she had both wings and a horn along with the flowing head of hair, but that's where they ended. Her coat was an almost glowing white, even brighter then her closed paper colored dress containing large FF-Cups, contrasting the rainbow like hair she sported. I had no doubts this one was a royal as the six I had come here with had bowed on the sight of her. All but Twilight who had run up to the older looking pony to have a conversation in favor of the now frightened looking ShadowSpear who was clutching my side tightly.

I frowned at her actions noticing the other guards I had brought with me forming a half moon (no that was not intentional) behind their charge looking ready for a fight. The woman herself looking as if she was a child that had been caught doing something naughty.

"Princess Luna." Her opposite said walking towards her seemingly undeterred by the gaurdswomen "It's been a thousand years since I've seen you like this, we were meant to rule together sister." She stated getting looks and shouts of "sister" from the others, while my thoughts were on the thousand years bit. Even the oldest of the immortals, the famed Templar, had not a member that was over 200 in their ranks. Were these races more advanced then I had thought?

"Will you rule by my side again?" The white pony questioned a pleading and hopeful look in her eyes.

It was barely a second before the shorter princess burst into tears and glomped her sibling, whispers of "I'm sorry" and "I missed you" coming from the hysterical almost queen. This inadvertently causing Pinky to break out in an impossible amount of tears, of course getting me wet. The water getting into my suit through the neck since my helmet was in my hand, making me a very unhappy and very wet minja.

"You know what this calls for?" She suddenly exclaimed the tears curiously gone. "A Party!" She exclaimed throwing her hands in the air.

"We should most likely get those guards from downstairs first." I mentioned fighting the extreme urge to facepalm at the excitable girl's antics.

"Before any of that." The white princess spoke turning towards me, "We have another matter to discuss." She's glaring at me now only one thing to do!

"What's that?" Be an immense smart ass!

"Don't play dumb with me creature I heard of how you dispatched the lunar guard with ease, you are much stronger then you look." she accused her her glare relaxing just a tad "No being as powerful as you apparently are goes somewhere without a reason, so I ask you why are you here?"she questioned getting a sigh from me; seemed now was the time to get serious.

"You may want to ask your subjects to leave." I stated my voice now lowered and grave as I looked at her a dead look in the eyes.

"Anything you have to say can be said infront of us." Darkshield cut in from behind her lady getting a round of nods from the other non royals.

"I ensure you this is not something they should hear at this time." I pressed staring Luna in the face.

"Leave us." The dark haired woman commanded getting shocked looks from the other ponies.

"But my la-"She was cut off by her princess waving her off.

"We can take care of ourselves lady guard go with the civilians and gather your comrades." Her tone said that argument would be futile, it was an order not a request.

The warrior nodded stiffly, she and her fellow guards ushering the civilians out the door. The room became silent in a few moments.

I sighed as I looked back at the two monarchs, taking a deep breath as I prepared my mind for what I was going to say.

"I should start with what I am I suppose...." I drawled, "My race goes by the name of humans. The human race has four different empires, The Minmatar republic, the Gallente federation, the Caldari State, and the Amarr empire." I stopped for a moment to clench my fist in anger before continuing. "I am a soldier of the Minmatar republic, and I am an immortal." I finished the two of them jerking upright at the last statement.

"S-surly you jest, are you telling me thou can not die." Luna looked shaken as she asked this my previous comment having shocked her.

I didn't mean to but I bust out in uncontrolable, insane, lung bursting, laughter unable to contain it, I steadied myself after a moment and shook my head visibly confusing the two as I answered. "Yes and no, I can be killed but I can never die." I paused for a moment to gather my thoughts. "When my body is destroyed my consciousness is transferred into a premade body, so as long as I have one to transfer to I can return from death." The shocked looks on their faces are actually kinda funny.

"How many times have you died?." The white one, man I need to ask her her name later, whispered quietly a saddened look on her face as I cupped my chin and thought for a moment.

"I'd have to check for the exact number but I have died over eight thousand times since I joined the military." I stated getting disturbed looks from the two.

"Eight thousand deaths, how are you still sane?" The darker of the two asked a lone tear running down her cheek.

"I'm not." I said bluntly a small smile on my face. What it's true, " And you're not going to like what I say next." I said in all honesty, "You remember the names of the four empires correct?" I asked getting nods.

I sighed " A few hours ago a woman named Faust told me that two empires will come here, the Minmatar republic and the Amarr empire...." I thought of not telling them the next part but they have a right to know. "Many years ago the Ammar came to our home skies, they came to enslave my kin and while the majority of our race is free over a third remain enslaved. I tell you that to tell you this: while my kind come to explore the Ammar come to do the same to you." I finished the distressed looks on their faces getting worse as I continued talking, I felt bad for them, they were so ignorant just a moment ago.

"Faust wants me to convince my brothers to train your kind, and the others that live on this planet to fight the Ammar." I said looking blankly at their distraught faces, "To turn them into immortals." I stopped for a moment I was going to continue when Luna raised her arm to stop me.

"A-apologies soldier but could you give us a moment to think, this is much to take in." She said her hair shading her face, I simply nodded understanding that this was a bit much for a previously ignorant race.

"Just know this." I started sighing." My kind, the Minmatar, will be here in a few months time. The Ammar will be here in three years. We have that time to train your soldiers to fight, and to convince the other races to join in your planet's defense." A bit harsh I know but I needed to get my point across, this was not something to skip info on.

I turned away from the two and walked out the door to help the others gather the wounded, and although I had done the right thing I had damned them all.

If it wasn't for my self control my jaw wouldn't be any closer to the floor as I watch an eye destroying rainbow of technicolor ponies cheer, and stand in awe of their returning princess happy to have her back from... wherever she had gone in the first place. The way they were cheering for the woman you'd think she'd have been on the moon or something.

Shaking my head at the impossible thought I turned away from the occasion hoping to find these ponies equivalent of a bar, instead bumping into a green pony catching her as she nearly fell over.

"Are you ok civ?" I asked, only to get a vacant look from the lime green girl who stared at my bare face, allowing me to get a good look at her. She was a unicorn, a word I had learned from Twilight on the way here, with lime green hair accented by white strips running through it. She was kinda short by my standards at a solid 6 foot, wearing a simple shorts/T shirt combo making her EE-Cup breasts pushing against the fabric seem all the larger. She was also a bit plump, not in the bad way mind you just full figured her hips and bottom just the right size in my opinion.

Shaking my head from those thoughts as I helped her up. I was about to leave when she grabbed one of my hands causing me to look back at her.

She squealed and rubbed said hand against her face, oblivious to the extra attention she was gathering in on us or my attempts to free myself, like I didn't have enough problems being the only human here for the next few months.

"Your a human right, and a male human too?" She asked shakily, "These are hands right?" She half shouted and half asked with... something in her eyes.

"Um... Yes." I answers not sure how she knew that or where this was going, although I'm slightly miffed about the questioning of my gender.

All I got was another happy squeal and a glomp that had enough force behind it to put me on my back, which was damn scary in itself. The green pony snuggling into my chest, while I and about a hundred others gave her a strange look.

"So..." I started, still wondering if throwing this crazy chick off of me and running for it was an option. "Who are you ma'am?" I questioned carefully, not wanting to set the cuddling bag of crazy off.

She sat up on me unknowingly straddling me, I think, and placed a hand on cheek and the other on her chest drawing my attention to the later. "My name is Lyra Heartstrings, what's yours Mr. Human?" she smiled.

"Victor, no last name." I said bluntly causing her to tilt her head.

"You're weird." She said just as bluntly... Wait she's straddling me in the middle of the street and I'm the weird one?

"Anyway I have to show you to BonBon!" She exclaimed jumping to her feet somehow dragging me and my 500lb armor down the street with her, actually I don't remember getting up but that's the least of my problems.

Well turns out this 'BonBon' was ironically at the bar as I had been dragged to the fine establishment in haste. Somewhere called 'The drunken dragoon' seriously wondering if this woman could kill me since I had left my helmet, and with it the activation frequency for my shields with Fluttershy beforehand thinking I wouldn't need them. Something I was kicking myself in the behind for as the crazy one dragged me towards what I assumed to be her friend. A tan colored pony sporting half pink half blue hair with jeans and a tank top on stretching under the strain of holding back her DDs.

"Bon-Bon, Bon-Bon I told you they were real!"Lyra gushed spinning me around to face the other female who gasped as I desperately tried to keep from dry heaving.

"Lyra, I didn't think you were actually right." She said looking up at me with supposition.

Not a moment later we heard a scream. I snapped out of my stupor and rushed to the window, seeing a small redheaded child unconscious in a burning building. I jumped out of the window with the two girls in tow, taking note of AppleJack and a red coated blonde hared male I didn't know who were being held down by other ponies in some kind of uniform, fire fighters maybe. Shouting something I couldn't hear I rushed forward, noticing the large male break free and run after me as I ran forward. Lyra and BonBon having been stopped from running in after us by the officers.

I pumped my legs moving at a speed that most humans could never achieve getting to the girl in seconds. Reaching to grab her as the man caught up, I heard a crack and looked up to see a piece of the roof had burned away and one of the supports was swinging towards us. Thinking quickly I did the only thing that came to mind and grabbed the girl by the arm, throwing her at the other man as the support cleaved me in half.

I fell to the ground blood bubbling from my throat as the rest of the building came down on top of me with one sentence passing my lips:

"Motherfucker not again."I sighed as I was crushed.
