Both Shard and Treble got to their feet, both with red marks on their cheeks from the force of impact. They just stood still, glaring at each other, their eyes now coloured grey instead of Trebles usual crimson and Shards natural orange. The young figure giggled before snapping her fingers again, sending another wave of energy and anger through the two teens.

Shard was the first to attack, dashing over and nailing Treble in the chest with his shoulder. As the wind was knocked out of his lungs Treble quickly joined his hands above Shard and brought them down on the swordsman's head. Shard gasped and collapsed to the floor.

Treble reached down and grabbed him by the neck before clenching his fist and knocking Shard over the head was great force. He then threw Shard down and kicked his side, causing Shard to cry out in pain before pulling his legs back and kicking Treble in the stomach.

Treble back-pedalled slightly, giving Shard enough time to get to his feet and spin kick his opponent in the side of the head. Treble landed on his side and grunted in pain. He quickly rolled to the side to avoid Shards descending foot. As he got up he threw a punch at the orange haired boy who caught it in his hand. Shard then threw a punch only to have it caught in Trebles hand.

It was now a battle of physical strength. Both side pushed as hard as they could, stretching themselves to their limits. As they pushed their muscles bulged, the sight would have caused either of their lovers to blush furiously. As they pushed they both stared into each other's grey eyes, glaring at the other while clenching their teeth as they continued to put up a fight.

Finally Treble eased up slightly, allowing Shard to push forward thinking he had gained the advantage. However Treble had purposely pulled back, now with Shard pushing him backwards he lowered his hands to Shards torso, grabbed him and used Shards own force against him to lift him up over Trebles head and to be slammed head first into the ground.

Shard quickly placed his hands on the ground to hold himself up long enough to kick Treble right in the jaw, causing both fighters to fall onto their backs. They both propped themselves up with their elbows before returning to their feet.

As they glared they put up their fists and began circling each other. Having had enough of the fight Shard reached behind his back and grabbed the hilt of his katana. He unsheathed the orange and black blade before taking a fighting stance. He took a step before charging Treble blade first.

Having not noticed Treble reaching into his pocket Shard was surprised to see Treble punch the blade to the side with a shiny red brass knuckle. As Shard was immobilised Treble brought his other fist forward and nailed him in the chest. Treble then began to repeatedly strike Shards chest with his brass knuckles while he moved forward, causing Shard to backpedal.

Shard finally got enough air in his lungs to take a swing at Treble with his blade, on.y for it to be blocked by the brass knuckle on Trebles fist. What followed was a repeated process of Shard swinging rapidly swiping at Treble only to have the blow blocked by Treble swinging his fists quickly to counter each attack.

Shard spun around at an incredible speed and hit Treble in the side of the head with the hilt of the blade.

Treble stumbled before regaining his bearings. Both stood, panting heavily, the continued battle wearing them out.

The small figure close by smirked before snapping her fingers again, causing the two to lunge at each other one last time.

However, they stopped as a loud bang rang out and a bullet flew just between the two and hit the side of one of the glass trees, only for the bucket to bounce harmlessly off of the wood. Both fighters looked over to see Roden standing with a desert eagle in his hand while the other remained in his hoodie pocket. “That's quite enough you two.”

Both of their eyes returned to their normal colours after seeing the green fourth wall breaker. They both collapsed to their knees and began rolling around in pain, finally feeling the effect of their wounds.

Roden just stared at the two and rolled his eyes. ‘You just had to make them fight didn't you?’

What're you talking about? I didn't make them do this.

‘Don't joke with me author, I know you're in control of all of this.’

I swear to me I didn't make this happen.

‘...you aren't joking are you?’

Really? What tipped you off genius?

‘If you didn't do this, then who did? ...wait are you letting one of your friends cowrite again?’

Oh hell no, you think I'd let anyone other than Prince_Zodiac touch my stories? No, this was caused by a certain character that just doesn't want to be forgotten.

‘Wait...you don't mean…’

I do, and we won't say who it is for added effect until the end for another annoying cliffhanger that will enrage the readers further.

‘You really hate your readers don't you?’

What? Oh no, I love ‘em to bits, I just really enjoy being a huge troll to them from time to time.

‘By time to time you mean always right?’

Bingo. Oh shit, the narration!

*Ahem!* Roden turned around to see both of the fighters slowly getting to their feet as they groaned in discomfort. Riden pulled up his scarf slightly before moving forward. “Well, since it appears that you two have regained your senses, could either of you explain why you decided to just start beating the life out of each other?” He asked in monotone as he placed the gun back in his pocket.

Shard rubbed the side of his head in discomfort before sighing. “I...I don't know. I just...suddenly felt this surge of energy and rage towards Treble, I don't know why, I couldn't even control myself.”

Roden turned to Treble who nodded at Shards answer. “Interesting, but what happened when you felt the wave? Were you arguing?”

“No, we were just walking and trying to find a way out of here.” Shard answered before slowly praising his head. “Wait a minute...what are you doing here?”

“Apparently making sure you two don't kill each other before your stories end.”

“Oh...great...you're like Treble Mix.” Shard groaned, at the mention of the name Treble turned to Shard and raised a brow.

“Uh...what?”

Before the conversation could start Roden clears his throat, earning the two's attention. “Now if you two are finished moaning about your wounds I think it's about time we find the source behind these surges before they strike again...and I hope it's not who I think it is.”

”Awww, why not Roden?” Roden froze at the sound of a little girl's voice.

“Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me right now…” He mumbled before turning around with Shard and Treble to see a young girl with long straight hair, plain white eyes and an evil smile standing there, all of her body, including her clothes, was grey. Around her there seemed to be glitching pixels in reality.

”After all, it has been so very long since we've seen each other, an entire story reboot to be precise, I did miss you ever so much.”

Roden just glared at the girl. “Um, Roden, who is this girl and why do I get the feeling that she really shouldn't exist?” Shard asked as he grabbed his sword tightly.

”What? He didn't talk about me? The nerve of some people.”

Roden growled slightly as he clenched his fists. “She's someone that should have stayed forgotten, an old enemy that never got any closure…Celia.”

Author's Notes:

If anyone knows who Celia is then congrats, you get a cookie. Yeah I've wanted to get rid of this villain but I didn't just w ant to leave her to rot in a forgotten story, so she's here now.

For those that are hungry for blood there will be a Deathbattle chapter to prove who would win a fight to the death between Shard and Treble.

Fun little fact I wrote this entire chapter while listening to romantic Spanish guitar music.
