Canterlot University

Stone Hammer

A couple of days ago in Ponyville.

"Welcome to the Ice Garden Maximum Security Prison." Shinning Armour walked down a ice blue corridor, it was freezing and reflections where everywhere. Princess Twilight alongside her team of Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy walked right behind Shinning Armour. Princess Twilight could feel her hoofs freezing if they stood still for too long.

"Why is he here?" Asked Fluttershy.

"Yeah isn't he supposed to be a hero of legend..." Pinkie Pie skipped along behind the group.

"Erm...it's complicated..." Shinning Armour explained. "You see...he has been in a form of stasis all this time..."

"WHAT! That's nearly a forty thousand years ago...how is that possible!?" Blurted Princess Twilight. "I mean...waking him up would either bring him into a nightmare or simply leave him completely lost." She explained.

"Beats me...but it get's worse.." Shinning Armour continued as they began to approach a huge jet black door. "You see Stone Hammer's power is unstable, his energy creates explosions every few hours, he is kept in a especially designed chamber....if he were to detonate in a crowded area, the damage would be catastrophic."

"Stone Hammer? now that is a scary sounding name!" Pinkie Pie pulled a zombie face.

"As I was saying...Princess Luna has had a vision that a Titan will return soon to try and destroy our world and the world your friends belong to Twilight...we don't have any information why this is going to happen as of yet, but we need both your team and Sunset Shimmer's to fight on both sides of this war." He stopped at the black door.

"War!?" Rarity could taste the word in her muzzle, it was horrible. "Ugh I hate the word, darling."

"A TITAN!" Pinkie Pie responded. "I don't actually know what that is..." She leaned over to Fluttershy.

"A Titan is one of two ancient beings of creation...their defeat is what brought the cataclysm that created Discord and most of our magic." Princess Twilight explained as usual. "Wait...we are about to meet Stone Hammer now!?" She turned to Shinning Armour.

"Not yet you're not, and even when you do it will only be for a few hours at the max." He answered. "We need to get him to the portal as soon as possible, Princess Celestia thinks that his unstable energy will cease once he crosses over."

"Makes sense, but won't we need him here?" Asked Applejack.

"Not as much as he is needed across the portal. We have Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadence. Not to mention Discord and other royals that will come to help if needed." He finalized.

"Wow, will it really get to that stage!?" Rainbow Dash looked a little unsettled.

"You need to understand...this Pony belongs to a time when the cataclysm that created our magic and changed our world occurred...as a matter of fact theories say his defeat of the Titans is what created the cataclysm." Shinning Armour was fascinated with what he was saying.

"I will see Sunset Shimmer and the rest of the girls soon and explain to them as much as I can about Stone Hammer, but their world is very different to ours. I don't know how they will have to deal with all this." Princess Twilight as she looked at her team.

"Well all this sounds scary to us, imagine what it will sound like to them." Fluttershy added as she looked at Princess Twilight.

"Yeah i'm getting freaked just listening to it here." Pinkie Pie stopped bouncing for just a sec.

"Guys back to the impending apocalypse please." Shinning Armour took control of the conversation once again.

"We are far from the portal here Big brother...how are we going to get Stone Hammer to it in time between explosions?" Princess Twilight looked at Shinning Armour.

"That's were our first ally will come in handy." He smiled. "Fluttershy, you know him best so make sure tomorrow night he is on board as much as he can be."

"Oh no....no no no...we have to trust Discord with a powerful weapon like Stone Hammer as such!" Said Applejack.

"I'm sure he will be fine!" Defended Fluttershy. "I will try my best to keep him in check...I guess as much as Discord can be kept in check...." She shied away.

"Good enough for me, for now let's just take a look inside so you see what kind of pony we are dealing with." Shinning Armour magically opened the door and slowly walked in.

Inside there was a huge shire horse, standing a whole head above Shinning Armour, his skin was earth colored stone and his mane beautiful long green grass, his eyes both closed and obviously in some sort of stasis, many scars on his chest and back and down one eye. He was obviously war torn, the Pony's had never seen anything like it.

"Wow...he's amazing...Ah mean he looks like some sort of...well...legend ah guess." Said Applejack as she entered the room and stayed close to the rest of them.

Stone Hammer stood perfectly still as the incantation to awake him needed to be chanted in order to revive him. The room was empty and obviously had been scorched many times over.

"Tomorrow we will wake him and explain everything as fast as possible before Discord takes him to the portal. Please make sure Sunset Shimmer knows what's coming her way." Explained Shinning Armour

"How will he react...everything he knows doesn't exist." Said Fluttershy.

"He will respond to Princess Celestia's Royal bloodline." Explained Shinning Armour. "He is bound by it."

"I will fly back now and meet the girls to explain to them whats going on." Princess Twilight concluded. "Let's hope Stone Hammer has some good manners to deal with the the world of Canterlot University."
