Discord stirred the chocolate milk in his glass as he sat in his armchair, intent on doing his job assigned by Princess Twilight. The hooded figure in front of him watched him with glaring eyes, his method of sarcasm had worked earlier. Though it puzzled him why Twilight would trust him again with a job like this. The last time he was assigned to do a job, he ended up helping the wrong side, Tirek's side. "Are you going to sit there like that and stare at me, or are you going to blab your little mouth at me?" the draconequus asked.

Tirek furrowed his brow,"I don't question much," he crossed to one side of the stone floor,"But I know why I'm here,". He looked at the floor beneath him and looked back at Discord,"But, I don't know why you're here,".

"Business, sent from the Princess herself," Discord made a statue of Twilight and pretended to bow to it.

"Does the business involve shooting me with an orbital beam? Or to smother me in books?" Tirek listed off the things he's learned that the princess was capable of.

Discord chuckled, and drank his milk. "My dearest Tirek, have you not met Twilight Sparkle?" he looked down at him for an answer.

"Not on the nicest terms," he growled.

"I know, never mess with her books," he waved his fingers in fear. But he respected Twilight of course, he couldn't help but crack that one for a while. "Didn't you...feel anything during that fight?" he asked him.

"Pain, and annoyance," he said,"Ponies shouldn't be that strong,".

"You'd be surprised," Discord spawned some more chocolate milk for himself,"Have you met her friends? They used to be quite a handful for me,".

"What is your business coming here? To annoy me to death? If that's the case, it's working so far," Tirek mumbled.

"Close, but no," Discord floated above him,"I'm simply here to make sure you don't break about again," he smiled as he encircled Tirek.

Tirek raised an eyebrow,"Have you been imprisoned for almost a thousand years?" he asked.

Discord stopped smiling. "Never mind that, anyways.." the draconequus disappeared. His voice echoed throughout the darkness surrounding Tirek's platform. "I'm here to torture you, to make you suffer, to make sure you never want to see Twilight's or my face ever again,".

Tirek shrouded to a smaller size. "I've learned my lesson! All I wish is to get out of this hell hole!" cried Tirek.

"Oh I assure you, you're not in hell yet my dear friend," stated Discord.

"Show yourself coward!" Tirek called out.

Discord appeared in front of Tirek in the form of Twilight, presenting an evil smile on her lavender face. "Here I am," she smiled and blasted Tirek with her horn.

The blast knocked Tirek against a wall, almost diminishing it. He fell from his indent on the surface of the stone, and hit the ground hard. All he could muster out of his mouth was a groan of pain. Discord was in fact hurting him.

"Should I be more gentle with your mangled corpse?" asked Twilight.

Tirek lifted his head from the ground, cold hatred in his eyes. "Buck You,".

Twilight lifted him with her magic and tossed him far off his pedestal. Tirek fell through eternal darkness, until he slammed into jagged rock below. He rose, but his bones felt like rubber. His eye sight cleared as he looked around for where he was. He stood in a field of rocks, everywhere there were sharp edged stones the size of houses. But only one thought was swimming inside Tirek's brain.Where is he?  Behind Tirek, a rock with points that jutted out like branches exploded. After the dust had cleared, Twilight appeared again. With an evil grin, she levitated him again and tossed him into a larger rock, his spine cracking on impact. Tirek fell to the soft dirt below him, he could've sworn he had a nosebleed. "Had enough fun yet Tirek?" she smirked and held him up to face her. "A centaur like you should already be in hell," her smile dispersed into a lip curl, and she shrugged,"Guess they threw you back here,".

Tirek didn't have the energy to say anything. He just looked at Twilight with strained eyes, feeling them water.

"Let's move onto Round 2, shall we?" after that, the princess punched Tirek with his hoof, and slammed him into the rock with her magic until his face turned compared to hamburger meat. Next Chapter: Pain Estimated time remaining: 4 Minutes
