Rarity's New Contacts (FGTS sequel)
Equestria Without Rule
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDark Side blinked his eyes open. He was in a cold and dark room. It was only lit by a single light in the center of the room. He had a syringe stuck into his left hoof and he was bound by two leather straps. He had a heart rate machine hooked up to him and he was fed oxygen through a tank. As he began to regain feeling in his body, he felt something on his stomach. As his vision came into focus, he saw Rarity, head face down on his stomach, crying. Her sobbing was almost heartbreaking to him. He slowly turned his head to the side. In three chairs next to him, three ponies had fallen asleep. They were Fluttershy, the fur around her eye area was crusted, implying that she had been crying. Her wing was wrapped around a sleeping Sweetie Belle, who was, to his surprise, snoring rather loudly. Next to them was Twilight Sparkle. From what Dark Side could piece together,sleep consumed her as she was reading about the space-time continuum. He could only suspect that she was figuring out a way to get that bitch Celestia back.
He took one hoof and moved it slowly, but surely up to Rarity's mane and began to stroke it. "Its a bit late to cry y'know. I'm not dead yet, y'see." He said smiling at her as she subconsciously slowly raised her head to see him alive. Part of his eye was obscured by bandages ranging from there to the back of his head. But his smile was something she'd never take for granted again.
"D-D-D-Dark Side!!!!" She screamed with tears of happiness flowing down her face uncontrollably as she bolted upward and hugged him tightly, her head buried in his shoulder. "You don't... know how much pain I felt...! I thought we lost you.. !" She said as a waterfall of tears began to wet Dark Side's white patient apron. He hadn't noticed it before, and if he didn't know already, now he knew he was in the hospital.
"Well, y'know as long as I have your, Fluttershy, Sweetie Belle, and the rest, I won't die so easily y'know." He said half hugging her back. He normally tried to avoid affectionate things like this unless he was in the mood, but he knew this was a special case. He could have lost his life last night. He could have left this world, leaving both of the sisters to fend Madara off himself. For the seemingly first time, he felt he was needed in this world. If his grandfather ever did one thing good for him it would be being who he is. He gave him a goal now. To stop him and protect what he loves at whatever the cost. Dark Side smiled and mumbled "Thanks grandad." He smiled and chuckled a bit as he said the next words. "Ya dick."
Rarity was actually a lot stronger than she looked. He asked her to let go a few times but she wouldn't so he attempted to pry her off. She kept a firm grip and he had no choice but to deal with it until the doctor presiding over his room cane trotting in. He had a long, spiky dark mane that looked almost like Dark Side's and he had a completely black coat. If Dark Side wasn't in the room, and he didn't have a bit more of a muscular build, she would have mistakenly him for Dark Side. He wore green shrubs as he walked in.
"So Ms. Rarity. How's Dark Side doing? Has he woken up?" At those words, Rarity noticed that Dark Side had started fake sleeping.
"No, not yet. He moves occasionally though." She said giving her own little mini report. "How's Princess Luna doing?"
"We, she just regained consciousness, and based on her tone, she's not really happy with Dark Side, nor Fluttershy right now. According to her, without her sister, not only will no one be able to raise the sun, but criminal activity will go up." He said walking towards Fluttershy, Twilight, and Sweetie Belle. He shook them awake and requested they go outside for a moment while he talked to the both of them.
"Rarity. I know Dark Side's awake. His heart rate is way to fast, he isn't even in the REM stage of sleep yet. He may as well quit it with the faking." His words 'woke' Dark Side up.
"Alright, what do ya want? I'm trying to spend quality time with my marefriend, y'see?" He said annoyed at the doctor's attempts to ruin the moment.
"Well, we need you to sign this patient's consent form."
"Wait, why?"
"We need to perform surgery on your eye. It's still bleeding from the inside and, if left untreated, it could lead to head swelling."
"Which eye?"
"The right one. But we may need to consider the left one also, considering the circumstances."
"Y'know,I'm not stupid. It's fairly obvious what your really after. Drop the act. Grandfather sent you, didn't he,dad?"
At his words, the doctor flinched backward at his perception ability. He hadn't expected to be found out so quickly. He had been told by Madara that his son wasn't very bright, but obviously, he was wrong.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Just give us your Sharingan. It'll be easier on you if you just give it up." He said, dropping his facade.
"Sharingan?! What do you need with his Sharingan?!"
"Honestly, I don't know how he still has theme anyways. After we ripped the oscalar* layer of his eye off, he lost his Sharingan. We then thought he couldn't get it back. The thing is, his Sharingan is way too unstable abd-"
"No, no, no. Stop right there. Y'see, that's the worst lie I have ever heard. I can control it just fine." As he said this he blinked once and opened his eyes, revealing the Sharingan, before reverting them back again to prove his point. "So what did you idiots do to my ocular layer?"
"We sold it to a dealer for 500 bits. And now we have...."
"...reason to believe Rarity has your Sharingan." Finished a menacing voice in the corner, and out from the shadows walked Moonlit Madara, levitating a scalpel with his horn.
"Well, Rarity... y'know, even if I was healthy I couldn't take both of them on my own y'see? You really should lea-"
"NO! This is my fight too!" She exclaimed.
