Chapter 26-Tid Vs...Tid?
Me: Confused? No? Okay. Disclaimer anyone?
Itachi: I'm the only who's not pissed off at Tid, so I might as well. Tid doesn't own the rights to Naruto Shippuden or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Me: Okay, let's get started.

I stared at the figure in front of me. "So, it was you that said those horrible things to Rarity, is it?" I asked. He nodded. I balled my fist. He balled his. I jumped and tried to punch him, and he did the same. He blocked my punch with his and sent an energy blast outwards. I landed on the water, standing on top of it. He did the same. "Just what exactly are you?" I asked. "I told you already, I'm Tid." He said. "No, you're not. I'm Tid. It's because of you that everyone hates me! I'll personally see that you are destroyed." I said. "Think you can?" He asked. I weaved hand signs and performed the Fireball Jutsu. He did the same and the two jutsu canceled each other out. "Damn it." I said. I jumped toward him, and he did the same. "I need to move this battle to a different area. No reason innocent people should be hurt." I said. I jumped past him and he followed. We landed in a field a short distance away from civilization. "This will have to do." I said. I ran toward him and started throwing punches and kicks so fast they couldn't be tracked by a normal eye. He blocked every single one with one of his own. "Don't you see? You can't defeat yourself!" He said. I weaved hand signs and so did he. "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bombs!" I said. Dragons made of fire appeared and flew toward him. The same thing happened with his flames. They canceled mine out. "It seems Fire Style won't work on you. How about some Earth Style then?" I said. I weaved hand signs and slammed my hands on the ground. "Earth Style: Splitting Earth Jutsu!" I said. The earth began to crack and shatter, sending pillars of earth rising into the air. He blocked it with another Splitting Earth Jutsu. I pulled the ground apart using my another jutsu. I weaved hand signs. "Water Style: Great Basin Jutsu." I said. I raised two fingers and a continuous stream of water filled the crater that had been left. "How do you expect to block that one?" I asked him. I then saw him standing on top of the water. "Great." I said. I put the earth together again, sending the water into the air. I weaved hand signs quickly. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" I said. Just then I saw two water dragons form: mine and his. They collided and deformed. "There's no beating this guy!" I said. I heard laughter. "I told you!" He said. I wasn't strong enough to defeat him. He copied every one of my movements with the exact power too. Then it hit me. "I know how I can defeat you." I said. "Huh? What are you talking about?" He asked. I grinned. "You copy my movements exactly, with the exact power too. However, I don't think you're using a mirroring technique. No, you must be how strong I was when you were created. Meaning, to defeat you, I must become even stronger than myself!" He said. He laughed, although he did have a look of concern on his face. "And how do you plan to do that?" He asked. "Seventh, Gate of Shock, open." I said. He opened the Seventh Gate as well. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a necklace Rarity had given me. "This is for you." I said. I put the necklace back into my pocket and rushed forward. Before he could even move I surrounded him with my chains, sending spirals into the air. He looked around confused. I appeared and said: "Down here!" I kicked him in the jaw, sending him flying. I ignited my body. I jumped and kicked him as hard as I could, sending him high into the air. Every time he passed a ring, it ignited and clamped to his body. Finally he went through the last one. I smiled. I jumped and sent myself flying at him. I spun around wildly, putting my hands together. "This is for Rarity." I said. I reached him and pierced his body with the sheer force and speed that I was generating. I ripped through his body and watched as he fell to the ground.
I landed and dispelled the flames around me. I sank to my knees, panting. "Damn it, opening the Seventh Gate is a pain afterward." I said. "So, you where telling the truth." I heard a voice say. I looked up and saw Rarity standing in front of me. "Yes." I said. "I see. I'm sorry for doubting you." She said. I attempted to stand. "It's fine, just so long as you aren't mad at me anymore." I said. "I'm not. I'm so sorry Tid." She said. I fell to my knees again. Just then I heard the others come running. "Rarity, what are you doing with him? He broke your heart, remember?" Twilight said. "No, it's fine Twilight. Come take a look. Tid was telling the truth all along." Rarity said. Twilight and the others came over to the body of the fake Tid. "Whoa, what happened?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It was a fake. He was the one that said all of those horrible things to Rarity, not I." I said. The others looked around nervously. "Sorry about that, Tid." Applejack said. "Yeah, we didn't know something was impersonating you." Rainbow Dash said. "It's fine." I said. My arms could no longer support me and I fell face-first in the dirt. I closed my eyes and became unconscious once again. When I woke up I was in the hospital, again. This time Itachi was there. "Good, you're awake." He said. "Hey, Itachi, can I ask you a favor?" I asked. "Actually, I think I know what you're about to ask, and I'm here to talk to you about that same thing." He said. "You do? Then, what am I gonna ask?" I asked him. "You're going to ask for assistance in your Eight Gates training, right? So that you can be immune to the effects of the Eight Gates." He said. "Wow, that actually is what I was going to ask." I said. He nodded. "I'll help you." He said. "Really?" I asked. He nodded. "Great! We'll start as soon as I get out!"

Me: Exciting right?
Rarity: Please don't ever do something like that again. I really was angry with Tid!
Me: I know. I'm sorry. Anyway, you know what to do.
