I sighed from the back seat of my little brother’s car as we drove to comic-con. “Do I really have to do this?”

My other younger brother, Caleb, grabbed me by the shoulders and glared into my face. The green in his eyes only barely out matching the mass of green his outfit contained. “YES! I spent too much on that Iron Man suit for you not to wear it! Now stop complaining or I’ll make you wear the full hulk buster suit!” As you can probably tell, he can be a jackass.

I sighed and got comfortable again. Don't get me wrong, it’s not that I disliked cosplay, but I preferred to wear what was common. Though I do have to admit that this red and gold suit is pretty sweet. The gauntlets and "rocket" boots are pretty shiny as well, probably would be better if I had a helmet or something with it all though. Did I mention how I wanted that helmet? “Fine... but I still want a helmet.”

Mason, the brother who was driving, yelled back at us. “Would you two shut up?! We’re almost there, so you can buy your stupid helmet at one of the booths.”

"Fine. You two are lucky that it's summer. Otherwise I'd be teaching my class at Harvard." That's right, you heard me right. I was a history professor at Harvard for two years now. Getting in was a nightmare, but it certainly helped my pride. I could go into further detail, but I don't wanna.

I leaned back in my seat and huffed a little as Caleb gave me the finger. "Dumb ass." Despite sounding like we hated each other's guts, we actually were an inseparable trio. I was the brains of the group. Mason was the muscle. After all, he was a professional boxer. Ironically, despite being the meanest of us at times, Caleb was the mediator of the group. In case you wanted to know, he worked with Dad as a baker.

We all turned into the parking lot to the convention and got out of the car. Caleb was dressed up as the Incredible Hulk, Mason was Thor, and I was Iron Man. We proceeded to walk into the con.

It was a lovely day. Birds were chirping, the sky was clear, and three fillies were trotting up to the statues to do a report on chaos that they were assigned a few days ago. A dozen feet away from the statue of chaos himself, was a different statue, showing a similar, yet different figure. Said figure also had a phoenix circling around around the head. Said figure was me.

"I swear to god. If that damn phoenix shits on me one more time, I am going to turn him into a lab experiment. Afterwards, I am going to get revenge on Sombra and the Princesses. I mean, I guess I could see where the princesses were coming from. They didn't want news of the war to spread and needed a scapegoat. I guess that I'm fine with that. The problem is that they insulted her name in the process. Now to plan a way to humiliate on the princesses so they will never forget it."

Have you ever had a moment where you get so bored that you start to talk to yourself? Said moment has been happening to me for the past nine hundred odd years now. You see, the reason I’m encased in stone right now is because the royal sisters use the elements of harmony on me. I know, very original. I guess fimfic was right. Now, I get the occasional stare from a passerby as well as a little "present" from Celestia's flaming flying rat with wings. Said rat better fly away before I get a good look at his insides. Now, you may be asking yourself how did I end up imprisoned in stone. Well… it's a long story. It all started back wh-"

"Hey Sweetie Belle, what do you think this is" asked a small, tomboyish, pegasus. "God damn it, I was just about to give my backstory."

"I don't know Scoots." replied the squeaky unicorn, "It doesn't look like something related to chaos. Let's just go back to the Discord statue."

"Aw come on! Don't be such a chicken!" said Scootaloo.

"You mean a you, right" replied Sweetie Belle. "You know, I never got that. Why is it that she is refereed to as a chicken in the first place?"

"Just search it and then we can work on that assignment" grumbled Scootaloo.

"Fine, but just a quick look." After a look all over me, the small white unicorn with a squeaky voice replied, "The only form of info that I got was from the writing on the pedestal. It says, "Steel Champion" "Huh, so that's what they put."

"Well that's stupid" said Scootaloo, "It's clearly made out of stone."

"Perhaps it represents something?" Asked the unicorn

"I'll tell ya exactly what I represent. Pure, unadulterated, bada-"

Suddenly, an adorable yellow filly with a bow in her hair perked up, "Is it just me or did y'all hear a mumblin' sound."

"It appears that interrupting me has become a constant. Then again, this is turning out well for me. All I got to do is hope that nothing will give me trouble if I pop out."

"Perhaps it's a monster." Scootaloo stated "Maybe we can see the guards fight it." "Oh come on Murphy, really? Really? What the hell?"

Even if Murphy was being a dick, I wasn't going to pass up this chance. I began to focus my uni-beam on the weak point that had sprung up. The world began to look brighter and brighter as cracks formed all around my stone prison.

"Um, Crusaders" said the yellow one

"Yes Apple Bloom" they replied.

"Do ya think that there is supposed to be shiny blue cracks on that statue?"

"No, wh-" Said Scootaloo before turning around and gazing up at the statue.

Before Scootaloo could react, the statue in front of her crumbled into dust revealing a six foot three metal man that looked both cool and tired. (Yours truly)

I just stood there in shock. It was either because of the fact that I could finnaly move or it was because three of the most adorable things were staring up at me.

"Hi" I said before clutching my head in pain.

Then Apple Bloom spoke up, "Girls, I think that this is Discord all over again." I then replied in a pained voice "Sorry to bug you, but did they invent aspirin yet?" This results in Apple Bloom shaking her head and giving me the cutest look of terror before screaming "Monster!" and running off with her friends.

"Well that's rude, we just met." I shouted. I then took my first step, and then fell down. I guess that is why you shouldn't stand up for one thousand years.

"Sir?" said a voice coming from inside my suit. This would be Jarvis, my butler.

"Jarvis!" I exclaimed, "It's been forever since I've seen you. How did you even survive?"

Soon the slightly emotive male AI said "I escaped the suit just in time and used the base's computer system to keep myself going. It appears that after being petrified, your reactor is barely functioning."

"Jarvis, how much power do we have left?"

"Sir, armor power is at fifteen point eight three percent and dropping fast." The robot butler said quickly.

"Thanks Jarvis." I said.

"Of course sir." replied the butler.

Thinking of a solution, I said, "Jarvis, activate autopilot and return home." As we were flying back, I began to think of that incident that started all this.

I don't quite remember why I was excited about the helmet. It may be because the outfit needed it, or it might not have been. Either way, I was drawn to the helmet. I looked down at the professional looking Iron man helmet and grinned like a madman. “How much for the helmet?”

The booth’s vendor looked at it and then at me and replied in a fake cockney accent. “Fifteen dollars.” The odd thing about this vendor was that he was dressed in a white suit and had a white glove over his left hand with the letter M on it. Above that, he had a black cloak on.

“Deal.” I handed the guy the cash, snatched the helmet and held it in my hands. It was a little heavier than I expected. I waved goodbye and walked away

“Thanks for doing business.” The man said before pulling out a chess board and watching as one of the knights turned into what looked like Iron man in mid flight. "No really, thank you." Of course, this went unnoticed by me.

I chuckled as I continued to walk towards the concession courts. I put the helmet on and saw that it gave seemed to scan and observe everyone around me without them noticing. "Whoa, this is awesome!"

I got to the concessions and immediately spotted my brothers. They looked over and waved as I came over. “Hey Mason and Caleb, look at what I got!”

Caleb reached over and poked at the helmet. “Can I have it?”

I leaned my head back. “Hell no! It’s freaking amazing and-” I was about to take the helmet off my head when it started to vibrate with a small hum. “Um....what?” It suddenly lurched up into the air, dragging me with it. I was shouting while I was being lurched around. Then it started to glow blue as it flew around in a few circles. “What the hell is going on!?” The circle was forming a portal as I was slowly being dragged in.

Both of my brothers tried to grab hold of me when I accidentally kicked Mason. This caused Mason to fall halfway through the portal. Caleb tried to save Mason but forgot about me. I fell through the portal screaming. Unknown to me, Caleb failed to support Mason's weight causing them both to fall into the portal.

I was pretty sure that others could hear me scream like a little girl until the same hole in reality that I had entered sealed itself behind me.

After the three of us fell, one Hulk like rook and one Thor like rook appeared on the chess board.
