Chapter 32-The Funeral
Me: Get ready for some feels.
Itachi: I'll handle the disclaimer. Tid doesn't own the rights to Naruto Shippuden or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Me: Okay, let's get started.

I sat in my room against the wall on my bed. I had fallen into a deep depression ever since the battle with Discord. I barely found the motivation to do my ritual everyday. If only I had finished Discord before he had time to kill her. I thought. I heard a knock on the door. "Tid, come on, we're going to be late to Rarity's funeral." Itachi said. I sighed and got out of bed. "Itachi and I walked outside and toward where the funeral was going to be taking place. The whole place fell silent as soon as I walked into the room. I slowly walked to one of the front seats and sat down. I looked over and saw Robert and Vinyl, as well as the others there. Princess Celestia stood in front of the coffin. "Now that everyone's here, we may begin. We have come here today to mourn the loss of our dear friend Rarity." She said. I only heard that part, having zoned out until she said my name. I looked up suddenly. "What?" I asked. Everyone was looking at me. "We were hoping you'd say a few words about Rarity." She said. "I'm sorry, but I can't." I said. Princess Celestia smiled. "I understand." She said. "Would anyone else like to say some words?" She asked. Twilight stood up. "I would." She said. Celestia nodded. Twilight cleared her throat. "Rarity was one of a few special ponies that I have become close friends with. I enjoyed her friendship, and I think I stand with everyone when I say that Rarity will be missed." She said. The others stood up one by one and said their words before sitting back down. Eventually, everyone, even Itachi, had said something about Rarity. I could hardly listen to the words they spoke. After a while, the funeral ended and everyone except for me left. I stared at the coffin for a while before standing up and moving closer to it. Rarity had been buried in her Akatsuki dress, a detail I found very important to note. Her eyes were closed. They seemed so dark and depressing, even if I couldn't see them. I sighed touching her face. "I'm sorry." I said on the verge of tears. I closed my eyes and walked away.
I walked down to the river where I sat on the bank, looking out over the water. I saw the reflections of clouds in the water. I could see images in the clouds, but they all reminded me of Rarity. I lay back and closed my eyes. At that moment Twilight walked up to me. "Hey, Tid." She said. "Hello." I said. "Mind if I sit with you?" She asked. "I don't care." I said. She sat down next to me. "Look, I know you're depressed, but this isn't healthy for you." She said. "What do I care? Rarity's gone, so there's nothing I have left to live for." I said. "That's not true, you have your friends." She said. "If I lived for my friends, they would die too, and then the situation would get worse. It's better if I just don't do anything." I said. "Come now, don't be like that." She said. "And why shouldn't I? Rarity was the one pony I loved. Are you saying I should just forget about that? That I should just act as if none of it had ever happened?" I asked. She didn't answer that. "There's got to be some way to bring her back." She said after a while. "There is, but it's something I can't do." I said. "What do you mean?" She asked. I sat up. "It's called the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique." I said. "Why can't you do it?" She asked. "Because the jutsu takes an incredible amount of Chakra to perform, and I don't have enough to do it." I said. She sat silent for a long time. Eventually she spoke up again. "What if the others and I helped you?" She said. "What?" I asked. "What if we gave you energy to perform the jutsu? Wouldn't it work then?" She asked. My eyes widened. "You may be right." I said. We both stood up. "Quickly, we must gather the others. We're going to give this a try." I said. She nodded.
After we were finished running around gathering the others, we all went to the funeral hall where the coffin with Rarity in it was still sitting. The others surrounded me in a circle. "Ready?" I asked them. They all nodded. I performed the hand signs for the jutsu and green energy started to flow from my mouth. The others closed their eyes, concentrating on giving me as much energy as possible. I rose into the air, the green energy continuing to flow from my mouth. My heart started pounding at a million miles an hour. Was it actually going to work? At that moment the green energy stopped and I fell to the floor with a thud. "What happened?" Twilight asked. "Not enough Chakra. We were close, but not close enough. I told you, this jutsu requires a massive amount of Chakra." I said. Twilight placed her hoof on her chin. "I got it!" She said. "What?" I asked. "What if we gathered all of the ponies in Ponyville in one place and had them lend their energy to you? Would you be able to perform the jutsu then?" She asked. "I think so." I said. "Good, I'll get right on it." She said.
A few hours later the sun had set and the moon had come out. I was standing on the stage of the place where the concert had taken place a few months ago. All of the ponies in Ponyville where there, excitedly chit-chatting amongst themselves. Even the princesses were there. Princess Celestia called for silence. I moved forward. "Everyone, I have called you all here today for a very important event. I am going to attempt to revive Rarity." I said. Everyone, even Princess Celestia looked shocked. "Now, I can't do this without everyone's cooperation. Now, I'm going to start the jutsu, and I'll need you all to give me your energy." I said. Everyone started murmuring. I turned to the others. "Are you guys ready?" I asked. They all nodded and surrounded me in a circle, including the princesses. I performed the hand seals and green energy started to flow from my mouth once more. I started rising into the air, even more so than last time. Everyone was looking at me in awe. "Put your hooves in the air!" I shouted. About fifty of the ponies raised their hooves into the air. I repeated my request. Fifty more ponies put their hooves into the air. "Put your hooves in the air, if you hear me out there!" I started saying. "Put your hooves in the air, one more time!" The others said. Everyone in the arena raised their hooves into the air. The green energy started to flow even more from my mouth, and I saw it form into a beam and fire at the place where Rarity's coffin was. After that there was a bright flash of light and I fell back to the ground. The others rushed to help me. I stood up, panting heavily. "I think it worked." I said. "I can teleport us there to see if it did." Princess Celestia offered. "No, let's walk there." I said.
We walked to the funeral hall. I opened the door and was tackled to the ground. When I finally could figure out what was going on, I saw the most beautiful site in the world. I saw Rarity hugging me. I hugged her back, sobbing. "Rarity! I thought I had lost you forever!" I said. She looked into my eyes. "I'm glad you brought me back to life, Tid." She said. "I am too. I love you Rarity." I said. "I love you too, Tid." She said. At that moment, we did something we couldn't do before. We kissed each other.
