Note to those who didn't reread the last chap: Rarity and Flutters fainted.

We tried, we really did, and after thirty minuets of trying, and miserably failing, to wake the two unconscious mares on the floor, the four awake girls and myself were running out of ideas. Though while Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinky Pie were ready to give up I had one last trick up my sleeves.

"Well I guess I'll never get those clothes, or learn about the different animals in Equestria." I said offhandedly, cracking a massive grin as the two women suddenly jerked upwards.

" I can't believe that worked." Twilight said in disbelief blinking owlishly.

"Well now that that that's taken care of I'll see you all later." I announced turning to walk out the door, only to have it slam in my face via magic, rather versatile that ability. Looking back at the culprit of my 'trapping' I rose an unseen brow at the purple mare whom sucked at trying to look innocent. "Is there something else?" I ventured after a moment.

" I would like to ask a few more questions, if that's ok with you?" Twilight asked, smiling when I nodded, a pen and notepad floated at eye level ready to document, making me sigh and wave my hand for her to start. "You were messing with something on your wrist the other day, what was that?" She questioned.

I held up my arm, the back of my hand facing the mares, showing then the most important part of my suit. "This is a neocom, it allows me to do many things like edit my combat fitting, track my training authorization, access the market, and communicate with other soldiers as well as pilots." I finished.

"Edit your combat fitting?" Pinky asked tilting her head.

"Each soldier has a personal body armor that they customize to be unique there are three dropsuit classes light frames, medium frames, and large frames." I started.

"Which one are you wearing?" Twilight cut in quickly.

"I'm wearing a minmatar scout suit, a light frame, it weighs about five hundred pounds." I answered quickly before being cut off again.

"Five hundred pounds, that doesn't sound light to me." Rainbow quipped making me shrug.

"The medium and heavy weigh seven hundred and half a ton respectively, so it's the lightest of the classes. An immortal can weigh anywhere from two hundred to three fifty, and our weapons and equipment range between twenty and two hundred pounds." Looking back at the multicolored friends, and I let out a short laugh at the sight of their jaws on the ground.

"W-with what you have on now, how much does that weigh?" Twilight asked as she got her bearings, making me hum in thought before pulling out equipment as I spoke.

"Don't remember exactly so don't quote me on this, but my Nova Knives are about ten pounds each, Mass Driver is around seventy five, remote explosives are 30 each and I'm carrying four, I've got a cloak on here as well, hardly use the damn thing though." I listed off one by one showing them the items. "So, all in all I weigh around nine hundred and five pounds, if my body hasn't been modified lately and still weighs two hundred." I rattled off silently cursing for having to use math for the first time in years, meanwhile Twilight was just scribbling away with a grin on her face.

"What do you mean by cloa-?" Applejack's question turned into a blink of surprise when I disappeared in front of them.

"Oh my FAUST someone stole Vicky!" Pinky yelled before I flicked her nose, the girl pouting as the contact forced the cloak to drop.

"Don't call me that." one is enough thanks.

"That seems......shady."Rarity said unimpressed.

"What's up with that tone?" What I do?

"I don't know you're in a village filled with pretty mares, with the ability to turn invisible, who knows where you've been...." Rainbow snipped making the other girls give me odd looks.

"Very funny Rainbow." I deadpaned, yet the looks still remained."I wouldn't do that damnit!"

"Knowing you partner...." Not Applejack too, that hurts.

"Am I really that bad." I mumbled tracing circles in the corner.

"Yes." All of them, even Flutters, my pride is wounded.

Well maybe I will next time, assholes.

"Anyway!"I Yelled turning back from the wall. "Dropsuits can be modified by the user by adding shields and armor to add protection, using E-war mods to make getting picked up by scanners harder, increase your scan radius to scan more of the area, or increase the precision to pick up units that have equipped mods to avoid scanners." I stopped to take an, unneeded, breath leaning back slightly as Twilight leaned towards me. "There are also tiers within dropsuit classes, what I'm wearing now is a prototype suit. There are four dropsuit tiers; militia, which is what normal solders use, standard which is just a step above militia made for immortal soldiers, advanced which is the type of suit most use, and prototype the more powerful version." I stopped waiting for more questions.

"And the tier's for weapons are the same? Twilight questioned getting a nod.

"You said you're a scout does that mean there are classes instead of the frames?" Rarity, the last person I thought would ask me anything, queried.

"Indeed there's many suits that are modified to preform a specific role I'm a scout so my base profile is smaller than any other class making slipping through hostile positions easier, the Minmatar scout is trained and further modified for infuriating and assassination." I drawled before Fluttershy spoke, I stand corrected she's the last one I expected to ask a question.

"Um do immortals keep pets?" Ah now it makes more sense.

"Well I don't know if you can call them pets but we keep small sentient machine s called drones, they're about the size of your head." I motioned with my hands remembering my own little drone back home, I hope he's being fed.

"Sentient machines, I'm not following you partner." Applejack said confused.

"Don't know much about it myself, " I shrugged.

"But what if they turn evil and try to take over the world!" Pinky yelled jokingly making me flinch.

"That's already happened, they're called rogue drones, and they attack cities and ships to gather materials so they can make more of themselves." I stated bluntly making her smile disappear as she let out a small "oh".

"Anything else?" I asked getting no response. "Well I'm gonna go find something to do." I said having no idea where I was going to go before Rainbow grabbed my arm.

"You're coming with me, I want you to make nice with Gilda!" Rainbow urged making me groan.

"But she's a bi-." I didn't get to finish as I was dragged out the door away from the other mares, confusion growing on their faces when I took off my helm and mouthed a silent 'help me'.

"Why is this dweeb here?" A non to pleased griffin asked.

"Trust me, I don't want to be here anymore then you want me here feather tits." A non too serious immortal quipped.

"Really you two, can't you get along!" Rainbow shouted exasperated.

"No." We both said bluntly making her groan.

"At least I finally made it to the bar." I drawled downing a glass of 'hard cider'. Hard my ass, I've had harder wine.

"Why did you need to get here anyway?" Rainbow asked trying to change the subject.

"I need a job." I answered glancing around for anyone who may be the manger.

"Why didn't you become a man whore like every other male?" Gilda asked with a grin on her face.

"Because I'm no-one's bitch." I smirked downing another glass, I need something harder where's the scotch?

"Coulda fooled me." She said slyly.

I glanced at her, knowing that if I wanted I could swing my hand back and turn her head 180 degrees. I toyed with the idea for the moment, but decided against it, in the end asking for another drink instead. Leaning back I took a deep breath, I pullded my Mass Driver out of it's holster on my back and held it in my hands, catching the interest of my two companions. I popped the clip open and spun the holder of explosive fun before slapping it back in place.

"What's that some kind of confetti shooter?" Gilda asked amused, making a vein bulge in my neck, before I could answer though Rainbow jumped the gun, no not literally you idiot.

"No way Gilda you should have seen him use it, it shoots these little balls that explode when they touch something!" Rainbow exclaimed looking excited all of a sudden; though I can't blame her the Mass Driver is pretty badass or badflank as I learned they called it, also: great balls of fire! Why didn't I think of that?

"You're bucking me, no way." The avian/feline woman said unbelieving.

"Yes way, show her Vic!" The woman demanded grabbing at the explosive launching weapon, pouting when I raised it out of her reach.

"No, for two reasons, one because I'm sure that was a drunken suggestion, and two because firing this in here is an extremely bad idea." I said bluntly, rolling my eyes as the blue pegasus started stretching to close the gape in between her and her explosive prize, only causing me to straiten and widen said gap, though she succeeded in pressing against me.

"Oh come on Vicky!" Gilda whined pressing herself against my back. "You wouldn't want to disappoint a lady would you?" She teased.

"Now I know you're not drunk." I stated glancing over my shoulder.

"Nope!" She chirped. (lol)

"If you guys wanna see it we'll do it in the morning when you light weights are sober alright?" I compromised getting cheers from my companions, as I finally noticed who I was looking for.

Excusing myself from the table I quickly made my way towards a mare giving orders to the bartender. She was rather short by my standards at 5.5, she wore a purple dress shirt and black pants, kinda boring but she's at work so what you expect? Her coat was a purple/pink mix making a color I couldn't quite describe with her mane being a few shades darker.

"You Berry Punch?" I asked from behind her making her turn and immediately tense up, seeing a proto Minmatar scout would do that to you.

"Y-yeah is there something you want?" She asked shakily trying, and failing, to not sound surprised.

"Looking for a job, Lyra sent me." I said with a smile amused by her reaction.

"Oh you're that guy Lyra called about!" She yelled in recognition, wait how did she call her I didn't see a com-link? My thoughts were shaken by the short woman gesturing to the stallion at the counter.

"Well the bartender position is taken by the new guy, and a government guy is doing the maintenance for all our equipment, so the only spot we have open is the bouncer position..." She drawled off as I glanced down at her.

"That's fine ma'am." I nodded, hell I was no bartender and this tech was probably to old fashioned for me to understand anyway. "When do you want me to come in?" I asked getting a grin from her.

"Great I was afraid we wouldn't get another bouncer after the other one was injured!" she exclaimed happily, by the way if I was a civy I may have been put off by that. "I'll need you to come in Monday through Fridays, but not weekends, we're closed then since this bar is for businessmares." As the mare droned on and on I was beginning to wonder if Lyra sent me here as punishment.

"Oh you're back." Bonbon quipped as I walked in through the door after taking, read: carrying, both Rainbow and Gilda to the former's home, or rather Flutters home....turns out Rainbow lives in a cloud.

"Yeah I'm back, what you do today?" I asked trying to be nice to my house mate.

"Not much just ran the stand for a bit, could use someone to help me though." She shrugged.

"Wait you run a business?" I asked staring at her.

"Yup candy shop." She said proudly.

"These are the types of conversations we should have before hand Bonbon." I deadpanned as my thoughts traveled to my run mouth boss.

"Something happen?" Bonbon asked brow raised.

"No it's nothing." I said waving off the question.

"I'm hungry want a bite?" She questioned walking into the kitchen, when did she start being so nice anyway?

"Ya all I've had is some drinks." I replied at the mention of food, despite not actually needing to eat, or drink, or sleep now that I'm thinking about it. "By the way where's Lyra?" I asked not seeing the horned mare.

"Sleeping most likely." Bonbon replied tiredly getting a grunt from me in response.

"You guys talking about me?" Lyra spoke coming down the stairs while stretching her arms tiredly.

"No i was talking about the other green mare in the house." Bonbon teased setting down a plate of square sandwiches, I mumbled an almost silent 'thanks' before taking one, mmm cheese.

"Got a hold of Berry Victor?" Lyra asked a small twitch of her lips noticeable as I nibbled on the sammich.

"Yup."I stopped to swallow " I'm a bouncer now." I Finished with a smile.

"Not surprising." Bonbon said strait faced making me look at her betrayed.

"Oh my Bonbon are you saying that I'm some kind of brute?" I asked astonished at the accusation.

"You're a pervert too."Both mares stated laughing as I cried in the corner.

What's wrong with having interest in women?

"You know I didn't think you'd remember what I said." I...said looking over my shoulder at the combined forces of Pinky, Twilight, Rainbow, and Gilda. "And why are those two here?" I questioned at the bouncing Pinky and the single unicorn of the group.

"Well Pinky was with us and Twilight wanted to come take notes." Rainbow shrugged.

"Right.." I trailed off turning forward mentioning the four to stop. "Well no one's here to get hurt what's my target?" I gestured at the forest where I had first landed in this strange world.

"One sec I'll do it!" Pinky shouted and in the time I had blinked there were seven humanoid shaped targets, made of cardboard, seventy meters away from me each 10 meters apart.

"What the fuck/buck." Both Gilda and I said with wide eyes, Twilight going for a much more lady like gasp in surprise.

"Don't think about it too hard, you'll only hurt yourself trying." Rainbow suggested with a smiling Pinky next to her.

"Ok..." There was no other response to something like that. I Turned back to my targets and I motioned them to take a few steps back, before grabbing my Mass Driver from it's holster on my back and bringing it up to bear, taking aim and firing a single round. The familiar 'Pomp' sound of a round being released filled the air, the projectile taking a lazy arc that landed in between two of them, and promptly blew both of the targets to cardboard hell with a sound that even immortals feared, leaving a small smoldering crater where the round had landed. Quickly taking aim I fired two shots that had their tree made brothers taking a similar fate, leaving nothing but ash and burning grass.

Now if only killing other soldiers was that easy, damn shields.

I glanced back at the four I had put on a show for, and promptly busting out laughing at their shocked faces, snapping them out of their trance.

"That weapon is um-" Twilight began only to be cut off by Gilda.

"Totally badflank, You gotta let me use it!" The girl yelled in awe making grabbing motions at the weapon, getting a nod from her blue friend, who looked about ready to go through me for a chance to fire the grenade launcher, making me frown.

"I don't think so." I denied popping a few rounds into the clip of my tool of carnage before snapping it closed.

"Aww come on you can't show us that and not let us use it!" Gilda whined, jumping up at my hand, wait can't she fly? "And why not anyway!" She 'questioned'.

"One because the kick would force the weapon back into your face and crack or smash your skull, and two if you place the round too close to us you'll set everyone but me on fire, or splatter them across the walls." I explained watching as the females grimaced.

"What if I wore your suit?" Gilda supplied, she's persistent I'll give her that.

"This suit would crush you, and it's made to fit only me anyway." I shot back, making her stick her tongue out at me. " And I'm not stripping for you girls, no matter how much Twi wants to 'examine my body'." I quipped making the mare flush and Pinky giggle.

"W-when did I get dragged into this?" She stuttered.

"As soon as you decided to tag along." None are safe from my bad jokes, not friends, not foes, not even my superiors!

"Although I would like to see the differences between your body and the races here..." She mumbled under her breath.

"Help she's gonna rape me!" I cried hiding behind Rainbow, which actually looked extremely stupid.

"What I never said I would rape you!" She denied.

"Oh no she's gonna get someone else to do it while she watches like a creeper!" I wailed.

"I volunteer." Gilda raised a claw making the violet scholar blush harder.

"I didn't know you were into that sorta thing egghead." Rainbow teased the now crimson faced mare making her cover her face and groan.

"I think she'd approve if we ended the chapter don't you Vicky?"Guess who.

"I told you not to call me that, and stop breaking the forth wall that's my job in this fic!"

"Ha, yeah right I've been doing it before the author even thought of you."

"...Just end the chapter already."
