“...he is our dearest friend… and our lover.” Celestia finished telling the crowd. All of their gazes slowly went from her to me. I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Celestia just told an entire town that I was her and her sister's mate.

I knew that news travels fast but when you tell an entire town, well I'm expecting the news to spread from town to city to countries.pretty soon the entire world would know. I was knocked out of my stupor by a loud cheer from the town of ponies.

They were rearing up then striking the ground and it almost sounded like they were clapping. ‘Their happy? One would think that they would have flipped out over something like this. Apparently not.’

I looked among the sea of ponies and saw a tall figure moving closer. Again somehow I recognise the shape but not the name. It was a chimera but it was still too far away for me to tell whether it was male or female.

When it looked in my direction it disappeared. Only to reappear inches from my face. “Hello again mister Stone it has been sometime hasn't it?” I took a step back in alarm. I knew from it's voice it was male but he seemed familiar somehow.

I looked over his entire body but when reaching his head my head exploded once again in pain. “GRRAAAAAHHHHH!” I yelled in through my pain, my hands on my head clutching it. I fell back but I kept thrashing, kicking, and going from side to side.

~Flashback~

“Well aren't you a peculiar fellow. What might you be hmm? Let me guess a mutated diamond dog? Or a monkey mutated from my Chaos? Please tell me I'm dieing to know.” Said Discord as I stood at the bottom of his thrown.

I was decked out in armour from that Celestia and Luna made for me. I had a sword with a crescent moon shaped guard. The blade was gold and was enchanted with one edge with a flame enchantment the other an ice enchantment. There was a mini sun embedded in the moon guard.

I also had a shield with my sword. (It had this shape and had Celestia's cutie mark with Luna's inside it.)

##

My armour consisted of a chestplate of dark blue steel, leggings were also dark blue, The helmet was golden with wings on each side side of the helmet. I had chainmail underneath my chestplate and helmet.

“Discord you have committed crimes against the peace of Equestria, now you will be punished.” I raised my sword in a defensive position.

“Oh so Sunbutt and Moony have sent their little attack dog to defeat me hmm?” This made me growl out in anger and slowly made my way up to him.

“Don't talk about my Marefriends Discord! Or should I call you Discy?” That made him glare down at me.

“You know I've been very tolerant with Tia and Lulu with killing my minions but I've had it up to here with you. I think it's time I got rid of you. Hmm I think you would make a nice minion.” He snapped his fingers and my helmet glowed.

“Hmph I figured you would try to mind control me so I had my helmet enchanted by Celly, Luna, and Starswirl themselves with a prototype mind protection spell. Star came up with the spell and my marefriends provided the magic. And it looks like it works.” I said with a smirk. This made him growl deeper.

“You're gonna wish you were never born freak!” He said summoning his own sword with a snap of his fingers. He swung at me and blocked with my shield and swung with my own sword and slashed him across the stomach with the fire side. His fur was now charred black around the area I slashed.

“Your one to say anything Discy what in tartarus are you anyway?” I asked sidestepping another slash. “You look like an a pony had an orgy of multiple animals.” This made him cry out in rage and swing blindly at me. I took advantage of this and slapped him with my shield.

With him stunned I slashed again but this time with the ice side. I hit his claw arm and cut it clean off. The arm froze along with area in which his arm used to be. “You little nuisance you'll pay for that.”

“Dude my name's not ‘nuisance’ it's Stone Tomb. But everypony calls me Stone or Tony. But for you it's Tomb. Only my enemies are allowed to call me by that name. So far you've actually my favorite bad guy so how about this? I let you go and you revert the land back to the way it used to be.”

He answered by snapping his lion paw and regrowing his lost limbs along with healing his burned cut. “I don't think you're in any offer to propose an offer child.” He snapped his fingers and a Hydra appeared behind him.

“Attack him my pet.” He smirked evilly. The Hydra reared it's 4 heads back and attacked me. I sidestepped the 1st head and back stepped the 2nd head before jumping onto it. I ran up the neck pulling my sword through and up its neck behind me the neck opening up to reveal the inside of it.

“You do know I know the Hydra’s weakness. The head needs to be cut off to regrow and add the heads but just cutting it will kill the head. Learned that from the last few I killed.” I had run all the way up the neck and was now on the main body. The neck I cut was singed and burnt from using the flame side.

I raised the blade and thrust it down into the Hydra’s back and twisted it. The 3 heads left screeched in pain. Ice was spreading from where I had thrust the blade. The eyes of it melted and burst out in flames.

I jumped off the Hydra knowing it was truly dead. “Well that was easier than before I'm starting to think your growing soft Discord. This fight is getting boring and I haven't even needed to resort to my magic yet.”

My magic pool was huge but even now it was overflowing from not having used it in quite awhile. “How about you do us all a big favour and just give up Disco- AAAAARRRRGH!” Discord used the distraction to cut along my back. His claw and talon went right through my armour and created a lattice cross on my back, blood slowing leaving the wound.

Discord chuckled walking in front of me. “My my it seems my constant watching of you has proved useful. As seen from my hidden monstrosities I have learned that you weakest points are your back and that you stupidly never look up.”

“Buck you Discord.”

“Oh such vulgar language. Do you mind keeping that down for the viewers watching this?”

“W- what?”

“Don't you know I've broadcasted our entire little endeavor to the castle of the two sisters. Say hi to the folks at home would ya? This might be the last time they see you.” He said grabbing my sword.

I looked up to the castle and saw a huge screen flying over the castle. Tears began to stain my cheeks as they fell down my face. “You bastard. Why do you do this? For your own twisted pleasure?” I focused my thoughts on Luna and Celestia. “To brake my marefriends, to destroy their hearts?”

“Oh very good guesses and yes those last two are correct.”

“Then your gonna kill me with the weapon they made for me? Heh nice ironic touch.” I quipped.

“Nah I'm gonna keep this as a trophy, I'm gonna kill you the most painful way possible so your marefriends get an earful of your screams of pain.” He said pulling at my hair.

“You will be stopped Discord.”

“Oh and by who? By you? I don't think so. Now say goodbye Stone Tomb.” He raised his paw and blasted a huge beam of chaotic magic at me. Luckily I teleported last second but left my armour behind as to make him think he killed me.

I teleported to the castle and into mine and my marefriends room. They gasped when they saw me and rushed to me to embrace me. I happily returned the hug. Then Luna slapped me with her hoof. “Never do that to us again Stone! Ye scared us half to death!”

I chuckled rubbing the spot where she hit. “Sorry but I had to make it look as real as possible so he didn't expect anything. Sorry about the armour it was really good. But enough chit chat we need to hit him when he thinks he's all high and mighty. Does Starswirl now where they are?”

~Flashback end~

I opened my eyes to see familiar ponies looking down at me. I sat up and rubbed my head with my eyes closed. “Ugh how long was I out?”

“You kept tossing, turning, and muttering names like Starswirl and ours.” Said Celestia her features looking at me worriedly.

“Welcome back from the dead Stone Tomb.” I heard Discord-

I got up swirled around and punched Discord right in the face. “Fuck you Discord! You tried to fucking kill me you asshole!” I punched him with every word I said. I punched him until he fell on his back then I knelt on his stomach and made to punch him again.

But this time I was stopped with Celestia's and Luna’s magic encasing me and stopping me from moving. I struggled against it but I was lifted off the Chimera. “What are you two doing! He needs to be exiled from Equestria! He needs to pay for what he did to me and you!”

“Stone stop! He's been reformed! Please stop this!” Hearing Celestia's fearful voice I stopped struggling and looked to her. I saw fear and worry in her eyes… fear from me? I went still and just looked at her.

I looked around at the other ponies and saw just pure fear come from them. I looked down at my hands realising what I did. I collapsed to my knees and cried into my hands. I felt their magic release me as I was set on the ground gently.

Next I felt Tia and Luna begin to hug me from both sides. “Shh it's alright Stone we're here for you.” I soon felt their wings join the embrace while they rubbed my back with their hooves.

“I- I‘m sorry, I‘m sorry.” Was all I said through my pitiful sobs. They nuzzled the side of my face while I cried. I don't know how long we've been like that but when I stopped I looked at Celestia then at Luna then back at the ground.

“I'm sorry’ that memory was of me battling Discord. I got cocky and he hit me from behind or I let him? I don't know. Then I kept talking about somepony named ‘Starswirl’. I was in battle armour and had an enchanted sword. Then it ended with me faking my death and asking if Starswirl found the ‘elements’.”

“Stone that was a memory from when you first confronted Discord.”

“It's… confusing… I said I had magic but I only used teleportation. And that was to escape Discord's magic attack that would have killed me. All my memories are blending in. I can't really tell what's my memories or what's not.”

“Then when I saw Discord I… don't know I attacked him but I didn't mean to… if that makes any sense.” I said finishing my rant.

“It's alright we're here to help you.” Celestia comforted kissing me on the cheek.

“Yes we will do our best to help you fit in Stone.” Luna said kissing me on the other cheek.

I looked at them and hugged them both whispering. “Thank you.” I let them go and stood up. I looked at Discord and saw him rubbing his nose. I went over to him and I saw him tense up. I stopped within arms length of him. I stood there for a second until I raised my arm up for a handshake.

He closed his eyes and raised his arms as if to block a hit but when one didn't come he lowered his arms and opened his eyes. “Hey how about we start over. Hi I'm Stone sorry about punching you earlier I… wasn't myself. What's your name?”

He stood still then reached out his claw and gripped my hand. “Umm hi my name’s Discord.”

“Nice to meet you Discord or is it re-meet? You know what, doesn't matter sorry about earlier and like I said I wasn't myself. I hope we can become good friends cause you don't seem that bad of a guy.” I said finishing the hand shake.

“Uh yeah me too. About the friends thing that is.” I nodded and walked back over to Celestia and Luna. What I didn't see was him lean down and say to Fluttershy.

“Fluttershy can you please explain what happened down in that cave.”

“Okay but later… if that's okay with you that is.”

“So what now?” I ask Celestia.

“Well you might want to ask Pinkie that.”

“Umm okay? Pinkie what are we gonna do now.”

“We're gonna PARTY!”

“Party? But that will probably take days to prepare an entire town for a party.”

“Nope I'm the ultimate party planner of Ponyville. Just wait a few hours and we can get this party started.”

“Umm alright but if I can make a suggestion.”

“Yeah what is it Stony?”

“Can we have the party at sunset? It's my favorite time of day. The colors in which the sky turns when you're on the beach. Man that was the best. The sun comes right off the water. The smooth crashing of the waves. Can't get any better than that.”

“Alright Stony.” With that she sped off to prepare a party. Of what kind I don't know.

“Well now that's taken care of I guess. If I'm gonna live here I think a tour would be a good way to show me where everything is.” I suggest.

“That's a good idea Stone but you're gonna be living in the castle with us.” Said Celestia.

“Hold up, castle? Where is it?”

“It is up on mount Canterlot.” Luna pointed to a mountain behind me. I turn around and see a mountain with a city attached to the ledge.

“Huh… well that's… cool. But isn't that kinda unstable?” I ask.

“Neigh it is perfectly structurally safe.” Luna said.

“If you say so but can I live down here for the first few weeks so I can get used to all of… this.” I said gesturing to everything around me.

“Of course Stone.” Celestia said. “But we are gonna assign guards to protect you alright? Some ponies might not be too agreeable to you being our coltfriend.”

“Okay I'm alright with that. But where will I live? And no I don't want you forcing anypony to take me in.” I said with a stern tone at the last part.

“You can live at my place Stone. And not only that you can teach me about the what the past was like.” Said Twilight. I was about to say something when I was tackled by a mint green unicorn. Who instantly grabbed my hand and started looking at it with wonder.

“See Bon Bon it's a human! A real human! And everypony called me crazy.” Said the minty unicorn.

“Lyra get off of him he's the princess’s coltfriend! You practically tackled the prince of Equestria!” Said a beige mare with a pink and dark blue mane that ended in a swirl. Her eyes were a light cyan color.

The mare that must be named Lyra was a mint green unicorn with a white stripe going through her mane. The rest of her mane was a darker shade of the mint green her fur was. Her eyes were a beautiful golden amber in color.

Lyra got off but never let go of my hand. “And his hand Lyra.”

“But Bon Bon it's a human! A real human! Look at these hands, look at the fingers. I knew they existed but nopony payed attention to me.” Lyra said back to Bon Bon.

“Umm not to be rude or anything but can you please release my hand.” I said to the minty mare.

“*Gasp!* You can talk! Bon Bon he can talk! Mr. Human what was Earth like!? What did human woman look like!?” She said a gleam in her eye.

“Okay umm Lyra was it? I will answer your questions when you let go of my hand and I find a place to live here.”

“You can live with me and Bon Bon in our house.”

“What!? Lyra we can't just bring him to our home like he's some kind of animal, no offense Mr. Stone. Lyra has always said humans exist but nopony believed her so this is pretty much the highlight of her life.”

“It's fine… Bon Bon was it? If Lyra is offering then I might as well at least give her a chance. It might also give me a chance to meet some ponies. So lead the way Bon Bon.”

She probably wasn't expecting my response but lead the to her and Lyra’s house. When we got there Bon Bon opened the door and allowed me to go in first.

I went inside after ducking down first. Luckily I was able to stand up inside. It was a simple house. The living room consisted of a couch, a coffee table, a bookshelf filled with books. The kitchen had everything you would find in a normal kitchen except a dishwasher.

I said I would stay here with Lyra and Bon Bon if they would like that. Lyra was ecstatic and Bon Bon was happy that Lyra was so happy. They slept in different rooms so I said I would sleep on the couch. “No you can sleep in my bed.” Lyra offered.

“No I'm perfectly fine sleeping on the couch, you sleep in your own bed.”

“No you are our guest you're sleeping in my bed.”

“Fine but you're sleeping in there with me.” This made her blush furiously.

“Bu- b- w- wh- b- why!?” Lyra spluttered out.

“That way neither of us has to sleep on a couch. That and you ponies are very soft.” I said nonchalantly. She stammered a response but I didn't pay attention.

“Okay now I need a job and I don't think you ponies have forklifts yet do you?” I asked Celestia who responded with.

“What's a fork-lift?”

“Never mind. But now I'll need to find a new job.”

“What about a masseur?” Luna asked. We all looked in her direction confused.

“Umm not that I don't like the option but why?”

“You used to massage us when we had a stressful day of listening to nobles. Your fingers felt sooo~ good~ on our backs.” Luna said with a small blush thinking back.

“Well I don't know one thing about massaging a person much less a pony.”

“That's fine Stone darling I know two ponies who would love to teach you.” Rarity said.

“Then let's go meet them.” I said stepping toward the door only to have my head meet the door frame. “Ow.” I said rubbing my face. “I don't suppose you guys know a spell that can enlarge a room or something.”

“Nope sorry.” Celestia said.

“It's fine I suppose, just need to remember to lower my head when going in and out of rooms or buildings.” I said crouching out the door.

Author's Note

Well looks like Stone Tomb is going job hunting.

Discord might hold a grudge against Stone for a while.

Hello everyone and welcome to the new chap of the Peacekeeper. Yes I know 'Stone Tomb' isn't all that original.

I will be putting the Equestrian Star Warrior on Hiatus for a while until I have an idea for it.

The Pony of Chaos will have a bit of a delay on it's next chap.

The next chap for this varies.
