(POV: Third Person)

The battle began with a sudden teleportation of Laurence, reappearing behind Discord, who was so surprised, he didn't feel the emanating power from the pair of dragon skulls behind him, until he heard a powering up sound, he had a split second of view time, and another to dodge the path of a pair of golden lasers, from the skulls maws.

Discord having teleported, snapped his fingers, causing rubble to fly, the ground to shake, and cotton candy clouds to storm, with all this even, a wall of golden bones surrounded the human, the rubble and lightning deflecting off, but, the ground continued to rumble, as suddenly, a pillar of earth shot up with the human on it.

The human was in the air as the pillar stopped, due to forces of gravity, floating mid air, the debris and lightning would try and converge on him, only for the skulls to appear in the nick of time, saving his ass, then, in a show of power, the skulls not only managed to ward the debris and lightning, but also blast it with pure energy.

The human teleported to Discord, and pimp slapped him, sending him sailing into a building, to which Discord burst from the ruins of the building and charges at the human, with speed, and lands a hit, which sent Laurence backwards, he crashed through multiple buildings, bringing them down, like fat people bring down gyms.

Landing on the outskirts of the town, he stood up, Discord popping up with a baseball bat "You picked the wrong house fool!" Discord yelled with an accent, swinging the bat at Laurence, instead of connecting with skull, it hit the metallic shield, and bounced off, to which, a large slash would be directed at Discord, whom was barely able to dodge, and instead, only had a shallow cut, a good amount of blood spilling.

Discord grunted, and held his front, trying to stave the bleeding, with a snap, he had a wacky looking bow, made of what looked like sweets, he pulled out a heart arrow, and fired at Laurence, who evaded, or blocked shots, only to find one in his leg, to which, he responded by sheathing his blade, and then holding his hand out to Discord, at which, Discord had a golden glow surround him, Laurence smirked.

The proceeding moments of Discord being thrown around like a ragdoll, and smashed through rocks, would be funny, especially with the proceedingly more and more derpy face.

Discord snapped out of his stunned state and with a snap, caused the immediate area to become low gravity, causing Laurence to lose focus, as he himself started to float up.

Discord clapped his hands, and rocks were uprooted, thrown through the air like massive ass balls, specifically, balls that could probably kill any normal being, thankfully, Laurence was not normal.

Discord released his hold on the gravity, causing everything to plummet, and with everything plummeting, Laurence found he had traveled rather high into the air, to which, he had to dodge random rocks thrown by discord, as well as some cotton candy lightning.

A growl came from the godling, he pulled up his shield, then, three skulls became a barrier for him, blocking most damaging things, before making himself plummet faster toward Discord.

Discord tried to block the humans way, multiple boulders forming a shield of earth in the sky above Discord, who smirked, then had a look of horror, as the large rock started to crack, then a sound, mad laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! DISCORD! DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS RAINING?!?!" Suddenly, the rock breaks, revealing the human, shield infront of himself, sword pointed down, rock flying in every which direction, a crazy smile on his face, the three skulls jaws open revealing balls of energy.

"ITS RAINING MEN!!! HALLELUJAH!!! ITS RAINING MEN!!! HALLELUJAH!!!" The skeletal warrior called a human yelled, crashing into Discord, who was surprised, and then the energy beams hit, the vicinity glew with large amounts of light.

The energy slowly faded, before long, all that was left was smoke, and scorched earth, slowly, the veil uncovered the scene to be shown, Discord, a wide eyed look, as he was set in stone, Laurence, with his hand on Discord's forehead, a smirk on the humans face.

He stood up, slightly ruffed up, he stretched and watched the sun set, before passing out, falling back, snoring loudly next to the stoned Discord.

(POV Switch: Laurence, Dream State)

I was home, with my family, we laughed, cheered, and had smiles all around, but, something was off, my grandparents were there, but, they slowly faded away, like dust, I looked to my other family members, I saw their faces, now visibly depressed, tear stains and streaks on their faces, marring them with these lines.

I felt a primal fear well as my Mother looked at me, she then opened her mouth "How could you do this to me? Our entire family? Why did you leave, and abandon us? Was I that bad of a mom..." She asked, tears spilling, all around, I saw my family, dead in multiple positions, I looked back to my mom, she was on her knees, headless... Above her, a shadowed figure, a murderer, he laughed, a husky laugh at me.

"So your the son who abandoned this piece of crap?" He kicked my mothers corpse, which caused me to feel massive amounts of anger, I tried to fight him, but, he beat me, somehow, I didn't know how...

He leaned down, and he looked me in the eye, he then spoke "Your weak, you always have been, and now? Your gonna live alone, forever, because you got selfish." After he said this, he started to laugh, but I felt... Broken.

What could I do? I don't know... Suddenly, he was lit up, he held his hand up to block his face, before everything disappeared, leaving a black mindscape, I became aware, I had been in a dream. Swiveling around, I find the one person who I probably relate to most in the My Little Pony Universe, Princess Luna.

I stare in silence for awhile, then, I look down, and then up to her. "Hello, I do believe we met briefly, only for me to be put in stone, let me introduce myself, my name is Laurence, my last name does not matter." I say, stretching out.

The equine princess of the night, stared at me, she then closed her eyes, before opening them and speaking "We would like to apologize to thee, Sir Laurence, we should have looked into the situation far more than first encounters." She then bowed, which completed the apology, I stare for a bit, then smile, I walk over and take a seat.

"Apology accepted, but, please don't bow to me, I have no need for that kind of formality." I said rather dismissively, then patting her head, she looked at me curiously, before taking a rather regal sit.

"Wouldst thou mind sharing thee story, Sir Laurence?" She asked me, to which I looked at her, thinking on it, then staring at the void and using the power over lucidity, to pull some scotch, which I started to drink "Sure, let me tell ya what ya need to know." I said to her,

We sat for god know how long, swapping stories, jokes, and adventures, which got laughs out of us both, we shared dark details which made silence, much needed for those moments, though it could be seen as awkward silence.

After awhile, I asked about the current happenings, she happily explained that I was taken to her sisters proteges place, I sigh, knowing that extensive questioning happens when I wake, I shrug, then stretch my shoulders.

Suddenly, light starts to over take the darkness, she smiles at me "Twas nice speaking and getting to know thou, Sir Laurence! But, the waking world calls for us, let us not keep it, yes?" she says to me, I of course just nod.

"Thankest thou greatly thine majesty, I do hope I may garner thou's company in the future." I say with a small bow to her, she chuckled with a slight blush.

"Please, just call me Luna, you have garnered my friendship Sir Laurence." She says extending her hood, I took it daintily, and took a bow, giving a slight kiss to the top of her hoof, just to be a gentleman.

"And I hold thou's friendship highly Lady Luna, may justice even your thoughts, and say hello to thines sister for me, as well as, an apology for the castle..." I say, to which she chuckles, waving it off.

"Nonsense, it has been abandoned for the longest time, I am sure she will forgive thou." She says, to which I nod "I hope so Lady Luna, haves't a good day." I say with a bow, and a wave, she just giggles and waves.

(POV: Laurence, Awake)

Laurence jolted up, he checked over himself, finding all his parts attached, he stood, feeling a bit woozy, but, he nonetheless pressed on, making his way out the door, he walked down some stairs, and found a bunch of sleeping ponies scattered floor, couch, or chairs, and of those, Laurence spotted an awake Princess Luna, sipping tea, he walked over, taking a seat, though it looked comical with the height difference, she gave a giggle.

Laurence looked at her, a raise of the brow before a small shake of the head, he chuckled to himself at the silliness, then poured himself his own cup of tea.

Laurence and Luna discussed multiple topics, ranging from the fight, the dream, random topics about magic, as well as, the beauty of the night, Laurence was overall, relaxed, calm, something he hasn't felt in awhile, he stretched out, popping and cracking happening to his joints.

Luna cringed at the sounds, though, Laurence sat straight, and with the pops in his back done, he appeared taller than previously, he then sipped his tea.

The sound of a yawn caused he and Luna to look over at a sleepy looking dragon, rubbing his eyes, and coming into the lap of Laurence, who raised a brow, the little dragon yawned, then fell asleep, light snores causing Luna to giggle at the adorability, Laurence loosed his own chuckle, patting the little dragon on the head.

As I and Luna conversed over tea, all while Spike slept on my lap, the ponies other than Luna, started to awaken, groaning and grumbling slightly, they stretched and woke up, till they all realized I was up and alive, Luna with me, they looked in awe at me, I chuckled, then gave a light wave.

"Good morning to you all, hopefully you have slept well?" I ask, they get over there surprise right quick, and then, they dawn their elements, and power up, I sigh, then hand Spike over to Luna.

"Hold the poor guy, he needs the extra sleep, I'll deal with this." I say, she nods, then takes a sip of her tea, while holding the sleeping Spike in her magical grip.

I faced them, crossing my arms, waiting on the blast, which comes, as I am hit, I am surrounded by pretty lights, while, I feel some relaxation, and a nice boost to my power, then, it powers down, some steam rising off my body, I hear Twilight speak "There, we got him!" However, the steam clears, and I yawn, before rubbing an eye, then looking them all dead in the eye.

"No more magic tricks? Cause if so, I wish to finish my tea and eat something for the second time in about, a thousand years." I say, turning and sitting down at the table, sipping the delicious black tea, a small sigh escaping me, while the mares just stare at me, I look to them.

"What? Are you that surprised? The Elements of Harmony only work on evil, I ain't evil, seeing as I use Justice as a source of power..." I say, then sip, Fluttershy then steps forward, rather shakily, and speaks "Um, sir, may I know what you are, oh I am sorry for asking, please don't be mad..." To which I blink, then smile, and ruffle her mane.

"First, my name is Laurence, second, no need for the 'Sir' bit, I am fine being called by my name, now, what is your name?" I ask, while scratching behind her ear, rather gently, she blushes but, gives me an answer.

"F-Fluttershy..." She says, a quiver to her voice, I nod "You have a nice name, it shows you have some bravery, for someone so shy, and kind, I like you already." I say, a small chuckle echoing from me.

She gives a small smile, and the rest see no reason as to not introduce themselves, I already knew their names, but, I don't wan't to be that kinda displaced...

Nonetheless, we all hit it off as friends, with lots of curious questions, food served, and at somepoint, Spike awakens, he looks around, before up, coming face to face with me "Hello Spike, I have heard much about you..." I say, pulling an ominous tone, he promptly gives a girlish scream before passing out, everyone laughs, I then pull up a gem, a sapphire, which wakes him up, and he accepts it as my apology, to which I smile, and once more, a friend is made.

We laugh, talk, and eat for about an hour, before, Sunbutt herself arrives, looking pissed off, I stand, setting Spike down on the seat, I walk to her calmly, and hold out my hand to her "Hello, my name is Laurence, pleasure to meet you." I say, while everyone stares at me, Celestia stares at me with a blank gaze, then a small smile comes about, and she shakes my hand.

"Pleasure to meet you Sir Laurence, I hear you turned Discord to stone, and resisted the Elements of Harmony, because you are not evil, correct?" I nod "Thats the gist of it, sorry bout the castle a thousand years ago..." I say, to which she laughs.

"Please, that is a thing of the past, let me be the first to thank you for dealing with Discord, he has been a handful in the past..." I nod, then smile, before gesturing to the table.

"Care to join the morning club? We have tea, haycakes, and alot of other assorted breakfast items..." I say with a smile, she smiles, and then nods.

"It would be my pleasure." She said, and that's how I made friends, beat Discord, and acted real smooth about it.

We sat for awhile talking, when something in my mind called out, a small voice...

"Create your insignia, or else, you are not a displaced..."

I somewhat thought on that, and threw it around in my mind, before, deciding to do it soon, don't want to ruin the mood right now.

Author's Note

And next is the Insignia, can't wait...

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
