Chapter 55- A Fight in Canterlot
Me: Alright, I'm gonna be straightforward with you guys. There's gonna be a fight.
Tid: I think they could've guessed that.
Me: Ah, but I haven't said who between. I can't wait for this fight to commence. I don't own the rights to Naruto Shippuden or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

A few weeks had passed since the announcement of Nightmare Moon's return, which was due in a couple of days now. I had been very busy over the past few weeks. I had training with Princess Celestia during the day and I was training Rarity at night. I was hardly able to sleep. Rarity had come with me to Canterlot Castle to observe what our training was like. She seemed to have improved a lot since we began training. I hadn't seen how the others were progressing, as I spent most of my time with Rarity. We walked into the castle and entered the throne room, where Celestia stood waiting. "Ah, hello Rarity. Have you come to observe?" Celestia asked. "Yes, I have." Rarity replied. "Very well then. Please make sure to stay out of the way; we don't want you to get hurt." Celestia said. She nodded and walked over to the wall. Celestia walked down from her throne and we stood there, facing each other. We readied ourselves, about to start our extreme-speed training. Just as we were about to begin the doors burst open and I was pinned to the wall. I already had my Mangekyou Rinnegan activated, so I had seen who had done it. The man standing before me was none other than Robert.
I stared at him with a straight face. I could see the fires of rage burning in his eyes. "How dare you have the audacity to interfere with my life; sending Vinyl to war! Even though you gave her an option, you still had the guts to ask her in the first place! You're lucky I'm not burning you to a crisp right now." He said. "Burn me to a crisp? Somehow, I doubt that would work. Besides, you can't really be mad at me, as Vinyl could've rejected if she wanted to. I suppose while she'd get hurt on the battlefield-" "Wait, Vinyl was hurt? That's it, I'm gonna kill you!" He said pulling his fist back. I reached up and grabbed it as it was about to hit me. "You're slow." I said. I reached out and grabbed him by the throat and threw him away from me. "Come on, you can't seriously tell me that's all you've got?" I asked. He stood up and ran at me. I saw his punch before it even happened and dodged to the right. I grabbed his arm with my right hand and punched him in the face with my left. He slid back a little ways. I stood there with my arms crossed. "Seriously, I swear you're not even trying. This won't do for training at all." I said shaking my head. At that moment I felt an incredible force slam into my stomach, causing me to fly backwards and knocking the wind out of me. I crashed through a window and shards of glass pierced my skin. I winced with pain as I landed, pushing the shards on my back even further in. I rose to my feet just in time to see him charge at me once more. I used my Mangekyou Rinnegan to teleport behind him so I could recover my breath. I stood inside of the throne room, breathing heavily. Rarity approached me. "No stay back. I can't allow you to get hurt." I said. At that moment Robert reappeared and attempted to punch me in the face. I blocked it and clenched his fist tightly. "You had caught me off guard before, but not this tine." I said. "Are you sure about that?" He asked grinning. I turned and grabbed the head of the clone he had made. "Yes, actually." I said. In one swift motion I spun my body around and kicked Robert and threw his clone into him. They landed on the ground and the clone disappeared. "Humph, pathetic. I don't even have to use the Eight Gates on you." I said. At that moment I saw a shadow below me and looked up just as Robert brought his leg down on my head in a fierce kick. I sled back a ways with one eye shut, the other giving him a fierce glare. I felt a warm liquid dripping down my face and put my hand to it. I looked at my hand and saw it was blood. I scowled. So the little bastard had some power in him after all. "Fine, I didn't want to have to do this, but since you absolutely refuse to stop, I have no choice. First, Gate of Opening, open." I said. I felt my power increase and I ran at him. I punched him and followed up with a kick that sent him flying into the air. I jumped and punched him once more, again following up with a kick. He landed and started coughing. "Seems like that's all you've got. How disappointing." I said. He rose to his feet, grinning. "This is nowhere near my full power." He said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked. "I'll show you!" He said. All of a sudden the air around him started to shoot upwards, looking almost as though he were forming a barrier of wind. His eyes turned completely white and his skin turned red. Veins began to pop by his temples and a blue aura surrounded him. "So that's what you look like when you get amped up, eh?" I opened the Fourth Gate. "Me too!" I said. He flinched when he saw I had taken a similar appearance to him. "How are you able to do that?" He asked. "What, this? I've still got three more Gates kid. I hope this new form of yours is powerful enough to take it." I said. He charged at me but I saw his attack coming. I blocked his strike and kicked him in the face. I followed up by performing the Frontal Lotus on him. I landed and grinned. It was over.
As the dust cleared my eyes widened as I saw him standing there as if nothing had happened. "How are you still able to stand?" I asked incredulously. "Surprised? Don't be. There's much more to be surprised about." He said. In an instant he was behind me. I attempted to strike him with my elbow but he blocked it. Incredible. I thought. He kneed me between the shoulder blades. I yelled in pain and sank to me knees. He grabbed my arms and pulled them backward behind me, putting his knee to my back. "You seem quite attached to these arms of yours." He said with a malicious grin. I pulled but couldn't wrench my arms free. "Continue to struggle and I'll break your arms." He said. I continued to struggle but I still couldn't break free. Robert began to laugh and pulled on my arms. I screamed with pain as I felt my arms slowly coming out of their sockets. At that moment Rarity appeared and kicked Robert in the face. "No one hurts my Tid and gets away with it!" She said furiously. "Thank you Rarity, but you have to stay back. I can't let you get hurt." I said. "Alright, but another situation like that and I'll have no choice but to interfere." She said. I nodded and turned to face Robert. He was strong enough to block my shots, even in the Fourth Gate. It seemed I would have to step it up. I opened the Sixth Gate. His eyes widened at the sight of my transformation. "Let's end this!" I said. I ran at him faster than was humanly possible and slammed my fist into his gut. He coughed up blood and sank to his knees. "Don't worry, it's almost over!" I said. I grabbed him and threw him into the air. I jumped and brought both of my fists down on him. He crashed into the ground and I landed on his stomach, causing him to cough up more blood. "Let's face it, this was over as soon as I opened the Sixth Gate." I said with my foot on his chest. "No, I'm not out of this yet." He said. He started to yell and I felt his power increasing somehow. He grabbed my leg and threw me like a rag doll into the opposite wall. I stood up and saw him standing there, but he looked different. He now had longer hair that kind of spiked outwards in different directions. He also wore a cloak and had markings on his face and body. He held out his hand and formed a black blade out of nothing. I opened the Seventh Gate. "So this is where it ends." I said. He nodded and we charged at each other. His blade began to glow with a golden light as he swung it. I grabbed the blade with my left hand, stopping it completely. His eyes widened and I punched him in the face. He was sent flying backwards and in an instant I was beneath him. I kicked him and sent him into the air. I jumped and wrapped him in my chains. I spun my body and kicked him. I spun my body incredibly fast, creating a vortex around me. I grabbed the chains that wrapped Robert up and pulled. "Hidden Hirudora Lotus!" I said sending the Hirudora at him and kicking him at the same time. They impacted him and he was sent to the ground. There was no way he could get back up from that. I had won.
I landed on the ground and Rarity ran over to me. "That was absolutely spectacular Tid!" She said. "Thank you." I said smiling. We looked at Robert, who was writhing on the ground in pain. I walked over to him and crouched down. "Now I'd suggest you get back to Vinyl as quickly as possible. You're lucky I didn't decide to kill you." I said. "How... Did you block my sword? It's supposed to destroy all evil it touches." He said. "Evil? I'm not evil in the slightest. My intentions are pure." I said almost laughing. "Here, I'll lend you some power so you can teleport home, but after that I don't want to see you around my Tid again. Got it?" Rarity asked. He nodded. A blue aura surrounded her horn and Robert teleported away. I looked up at the Princess. "Sorry Celestia, but it looks like we're going to have to skip today's session. I'm beat." I said. "That's fine." She said. I nodded and Rarity teleported us home. "That was very magnificent, Tid." She said. "It took a lot of effort. For a moment I thought I'd actually lose." I said. "That's nonsense! Nobody can best my dear Tid in combat!" She said. I smiled. "Thank you." I said. "Come, I'll make that special drink for you. Although, you'd have to tell me how to make it." She said. "You're too kind." I said and we walked inside.

Me: I tried to make that fight as close as possible. Also, check out the lemon I wrote (warning: I have never written a lemon before that point so it may be a little under-developed or amateurish) that was slightly edited on Popopo8776's side of the story.
Tid: Oh, I remember that. You ever gonna publish the original?
Me: Not likely. Anyway, favorite, follow, and leave a review! See ya next time!
