"I really hate this crap." Flame stated loudly in total annoyance as he continued to attempt to control the chaotic magic that he housed within him.

"Ever since I woke up, I haven't been able to use normal magic, just this chaos crap that Discord uses, and it isn't even useful!?" He continued to groan out as he took a seat onto the cool ground.

"Let's go over the list again," He sighed, rubbing his temples with this hooves. "I wake up in the living world, have very little natural magic, which I've already used up in getting away from the castle. This idiots leeching ability no longer works for some stupid reason, to which I can no longer steal magic from around me. Plus I have been blessed with a type of magic that is completely useless to me since it won't allow me to kill anything directly."

As he sat there for a moment in silence, contemplating his next move, he let out an annoyed groan as he fell back onto the soft green grass that lay all around him. "How does Discord put up with not having the ability to kill anything?!" He yelled out in exasperation.

"I put up with it because I don't crave the need to shed blood, and from your tone and chatter, I think you may have switched sides once again. Am I right?" Discords voice lingered all around the dark Alicorn.

"Yea, yea. Not like you could really do anything about it anyway." Flame sighed as he got comfortable on the ground.

"Not entirely." Discord chuckled, causing Flame to cock an inquisitive brow. "I could simply teleport everypony that is looking for you right to this very glade..." He trailed off upon seeing Flame bolt upright into a defensive stance as he looked all around himself.

"But what would be the fun in that?" He continued, giving a loud chuckle, watching Midnights evil twin squirm in annoyance.

"You know, you really have a knack for pissing me off." The Alicorn growled, coming to a stop as something else began to pass along his train of thought. "Why not help me instead?" He smirked for a moment as silence was the only thing that lingered in response to his inquiry.

"Yea, why not help me. You know, teach me to wield this useless power in a way that would give me an edge against the inhabitants of this world. Then I.... We, could take over as its newest rulers." He smirked slightly as the silence lingered for a moment longer.

"Now why would I do that? After all that I've already accomplished, and worked for. Do you take me for a fool?" Discord snorted out in a huff.

"Yes... yes I do." Flame continued, giving a little chuckle. "Your very nature demands chaos and destruction...." He began but was quickly cut off.

"Just chaos, destruction only happens when I lose myself in the moment." He spat.

"So what is to stop you from losing yourself all the time?" Flame paused again as he deadpanned, coming across the memories within Midnights head. "Ah, yes, the human female, and the.... thing, you call a child."

"I would watch what you say about my son." Discord snorted out in annoyance, quickly letting his anger get to him. "I may have to follow a certain set of rules so that I cannot kill anything directly. But rest assure that I have had countless millennia of experience in taking lives indirectly, and if you pose a threat to either of my loved ones, I will not think twice about taking your pitiful existence from you."

Flame quickly took a seat as a smirk slowly began to show itself. Taking a moment to look around himself he began to speak up once again.

"So you know the quick and indirect methods of taking a life, don't you?" He chuckled. "Then tell me oh great God of Chaos. Why haven't you taken over this pitiful world yet?"

"I haven't taken it over because I do not have a need to. One must have a need to do something like that, and I, simply could care less at the moment. There are countless other planets, solar systems, galaxies, and dimensions, in which I can travel to and take over. But with having existed for as long as I have, and having already taken over countless of such during that time. I find more comfort now in just sitting back and causing a little chaos from time to time.'

"In other words, you're a big chicken, too afraid of taking a beating from some ponies that can dish it out better than you can take it huh." Flame chuckled. "That and being a family man has made you soft, too weak to rise up once again to become feared by the masses." He continued to chuckle for a moment, until Discord showed himself in a flash of light in front of the Alicorn.

"I can do as I please to this world, or any other. I doubt, however, that a being of such a infinitely dismal race of beings would know the difference in what it is like to be loved or feared by others." Discord snapped, Flame only sitting there, smiling like he had just won a contest.

"Oh I know what it is like to be loved, and to be feared." He grinned evilly. "Oh the fear and death this being has caused during his lifetime on his home planet is something I relish in. Watching those memories over and over again of him taking those lives...." He trailed off for a moment, raising a brow toward the Draconequess as his expression turned to even more anger.

"Lies! I will not stand here and let you say these things about my friend, demonizing him in a way that would try to sway my thoughts on de-friending him."

"Really?" Flame smirked. "Has he ever shown you any of his memories? Especially the more... Graphic ones from his past?" He inquired, causing Discord to give a sorrowful expression. "I thought so." He continued.

"Well then." He paused laying down onto the cool ground and crossing his forelegs. "I'll give you full access to his memories... If you want to see them. No strings attached, I promise." He smile. "The only thing I would like to say though, is that you give some deep thought on your friendship with this.... monster. Then you can determine whether or not you really want him as your friend, or over lord." He chuckled madly for a moment until a bright flash blinded him.

Giving a few quick blinks to readjust his vision, he gave a quiet chuckle as he looked down a long hall way to see countless doors along both walls, the Draconequess walking along in front of him.

"Show me, quickly, before I lose my patience." Discord spat as he crossed his arms.

"Memories." Flame spoke out flatly, causing the left wall to click loudly before it began to slid past them, slowly coming to a stop at a door with the word Memories along the top of it, a little sign on the side stating to choose a specific memory, or time period.

"All memories during the war I was in while on Earth." Flame stated once again, causing the light just below the sign to blink red for a minute before turning green, indicating that the memories were ready. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Flame grinned."You won't see him the same ever again after this moment."

"It can't be as bad as you are making it out to be." Discord sighed as his taloned paw gripped the door handle, shoving it open.

As the memories rushed out, Flame stood there, relishing in the pain and suffering that Charles had caused while on his home planet. The memories of war that Discord saw were something to behold. There was so much death and destruction, so many innocent lives taken, so many deaths that Charles had caused to fight for his country that it literally made the Draconequess sick enough to lose his lunch on the floor below him, which was quite the feat considering he was only inside Flames mind, and not really existing on the physical plane.

The door quickly pulled itself shut as the last of the memories dwindled from inside the room, being absorbed by the two as they continued to stand there. Discord leaned weakly against the wall, breathing hard as he wiped away some vomit from his mouth. After finally composing himself, he turned his vision back to Flame, whom was only giving an innocent smile.

"If I could kill you right now...... I would." Discord growled out. "But I'm going to leave that pleasure to when I put Charles back in your body, then I'll kill him myself." He snapped as a bright flash of light erupted from around them, flinging them back into the real world.

"Once Charles has returned to his body, I'll be sure to end his pitiful existence for what he has done. Until then, enjoy your moment of living in this plane, because it won't last long. I'll make sure of that." Discord growl as he vanished from sight.

"You're welcome!" Flame shouted out, giving a smirk. "Oh, you are so very welcome indeed." He grinned evilly as he felt his own chaotic energy having grown quite a bit.
