Cioccolata pinned Rarity to the ground with his left front leg, his right front leg dangling limply at his side.

The Paper Angels reached for the various medical tools, only for Green Day to grab them all first. "But how? I cut your neck open!"

Rarity pressed her hooves against her assailant. "He used his Stand. There was mold in the wound."

"Your eye for details is very good!" Cioccolata quickly stitched his neck wound shut. "It's a shame I have to kill you. And with my mold starting to cover your horn, there's no way for you to use your magic!"

"Weren't you listening? I don't need magic. I have my Paper Heart." Three pages rolled into tight needles and shot at the surgeon.

Green Day tried to catch the paper needles, but they still sliced through its hand and cut open the side of its face, the damage reflecting onto its master.

That paper. It hurt my Stand. That's only supposed to happen in one situation. "You're a Stand User. The ability to manipulate these pages is your Stand. I thought it was just magic."

More mold appeared on Rarity's body as the Paper Angels rapidly vanished.

"Just another reason you need to die."

"Before you kill me, I must ask. Have you heard of the Stand Hunter?"

Cioccolata raised his eyebrow. "Stand Hunter?"

Another creature popped up from behind Cioccolata and grabbed his head and neck. Within moments, both had turned to mud. The mold quickly vanished as the decapitated body fell to the ground. Rarity stared at it blankly.

"Well called." The creature was in a bodysuit that hid his features. "Did you know I am the Stand Hunter?"

"I... had a feeling. Nothing definite, but I doubt that the other Stand User would have left so suddenly otherwise."

"I see." The suited creature looked Rarity in the eye. "Are you a nurse? I doubt you'd have much reason to know a numbing spell like that otherwise."

Rarity chuckled. "With how often my sister gets sick, I have to wonder. That's also why I learned that numbing spell. She never got over her fear of needles."

"It certainly helped in this situation, keeping the pain from incapacitating you. You do know what will happen if you use it too long though, right?"

"Yes." Rarity laid down on her back. "It can damage the nerves in my body, leading to permanent numbness at best."

"Secco?" Nurse Redheart stood in the doorway. "What happened?"

"Cioccolata happened." Secco glanced at the corpse. "I wish you told me he was here before you hired him on."

Rarity started groaning and clutching her stomach.

"We don't have time to talk about this! She needs to be sent to Canterlot, ASAP!"

"Right!" Redheart left the room.

"How... How do..." Rarity screamed in pain.

"Not now! You need some serious help!" "Secco" ran over to the anestesia, grabbed the mask, placed it over Rarity's muzzle, and turned it on. "Don't worry. You'll wake up again. I promise."

Rarity's eyes flittered closed as her breathing steadied.

"... No. She'd kill me if I did anything to you. There's a reason even Nero fears her."

Miles above, a unicorn gathered a stack of paper dolls in their hoof. "Rarity..."
