"That's the card my Stand represents!"
As if on cue the ground began to shake as though an earthquake was happening, rocks began rolling around from the rumbling and even as your friends called out to run to the car- it didn't matter since another had bursted through the ground. Flinging the group's car away it landed heavily on the ground knocking everyone back, an aura of purple streaks emanated from it like a strong stench.
"No way! It burrowed up through the ground!" Polnareff's tone of voice was in disbelief, eyes wide and brows furrowed at what'd just happened. "I think it's safe to say that the car is definitely a Stand!"
"Well no shit sherlock! I thought we established this already!" Raising a hand you pointed towards the car, "The enemy Stand user has to be inside!" At the mention of that, the once tattered and rusty looking car began changing shape. Now in place of its front bumper were what seemed to be metal teeth and sharpened spikes.
Revving its engine the car began speeding over, the front tires squealing against the ground as it did so flinging up dust once again.
Stepping before the group, Jotaro eyed the speeding car, fist raised. "It wants to see who's stronger."
"Don't Jotaro! You can't fight it yet! We don't know what his Stand is capable of-" Before Joseph could finish what he was saying a noise filled the air, something similar to a spitball being shot and the ebony haired man before you stepped back. Bloody wounds now appeared on his body. "N-No way...I didn't see a thing...What did it shoot at me, and how?"
A series of cackles left the enemy, the car now excitedly swiveled back and forth. "Ya missed that? You'll figure it out soon...Once ya got a foot in the grave!" Pouncing forward, Wheel of fortune released another spitfire noise, this time around the shots hitting Polnareff and Kakyoin as they ran forward towards Jotaro.
"Anne stay with Joseph," Shoving the small girl towards where the older man stood you moved to run towards the injured three only stopping upon realizing the enemy's focus shifted. Manifesting your stand instantly the air before you became dense though that didn't stop whatever was being shot to douse you. The smell of it was horrendous and practically burned your nose, but you'd rather get soaked in whatever this was than shot like the others. "Holy fuck what even is that?!"
"(Y/N) are you okay?!" Calling out from his place even if he himself was shot Kakyoin's eyes trailed across your form seeing your multicoloured jacket glisten with something. "It looked like the Stand was shooting something but there's nothing in the wounds!"
"Don't worry about me, are you guys okay?" Scanning the two closest your gaze fell onto Jotaro, "Jotaro are you alright?
Not tearing his eyes away from the car he replied back, "Don't worry about me. More importantly...I can't tell what type of attack this is, but it had good accuracy..." Once again the car began revving its engine threateningly, hastily charging forward.
"I'll break yer legs so you can't escape, then trample you to death!"
Seeing it quickly shorten the distance Joseph called out towards everyone, a hand raising like a traffic conductor. "Everyone! Between the boulders!" Doing as what was instructed all six of you ducked between the two pieces of rock, the yells and threats of the enemy grew quieter yet a loud scraping noise was still present to signify it was beginning to dig once more.
"Stop fucking watching it dig through our only wall! Fucking run!" As much as you wanted to scold the others, your tone of voice sounded more urgent than anything, simply because the situation was urgent and they really didn't need to just stand there and watch. "You want to stay there-be my guest!"
Instantly the others began following upon seeing you sprint off, you had a very good point about them standing around but at this point it was a force of habit. Beginning to climb up the mountain side you found out your stand could harden air horizontally as well, providing you with some sort of makeshift steps. Keeping them in place to help the others it took a bit before they realized you were the one making random air blocks.
Helping Jotaro up since he was the last one your eyes couldn't help but trail over the edge seeing the deranged car down below, whatever it was yabbering at didn't quite register with you- after all these stand users talk so damn much.
More spikes protrude from the car's wheels allowing it to begin scaling the mountain side with ease. Seeing this Jotaro released a long sigh, an arm was outstretched before you all faintly nudging you back, "Gimme a break...Looks like we'll have to face it. Everyone, stay back. When it reaches the top, we'll see the underside of the car."
"And that's where it'll be vulnerable." Piecing together what he meant in saying that there was a certain feeling of pride upon watching him nod.
Swoon.
"Exactly. Then, that's when we'll find out who's stronger."
The car's rumbling began to grow louder and louder till it emerged and like Jotaro said, it's underside was exposed. Star Platinum emerged from the male charging forward, Wheel of Fortunes user released a loud laugh at this, an arm now hanging out the window. "You've got some spunk, Jotaro! But yer pretty stupid! You guys reek of something, and ya didn't even notice!"
At the mention of a smell your eyes widened, instantly your head tilted to smell the substance coating your clothes. "Shit! It's gasoline!"
Small orbs began floating in the air around the car, the substance now being known and much like how you clued in on something Kakyoin also clued in. "it was shooting small amounts of gasoline at high speed, like bullets! The only reason it didn't get (Y/N) properly was because of her stand!"
"N-No way...Se he wasn't attacking to wound us, but to drench us in gasoline?!" Struggling to raise his arm Polnareff's jaw clenched, the wounds once again began stinging and without cleaning them propery they'd surely become infected.
"So ya finally got it. But it's too late! Watch the sparks in these electrical wires!" Moving his hand towards a tube the wheel of fortune's user ripped some wires out jamming them together in order to create a bright blue spark,one that instantly made its way towards Jotaro setting the man on fire.
"Jotaro!" Unable to do much besides watch, your heart began to sink as the man's yells filled the air, his whole body was engulfed in flames growing hotter and larger by the second. Joseph's yells for his grandson also filled the air although the harsh reality was you all were currently fire starters.
The form of your ebony haired companion slumped forward, a black mass now laid burning against the floor. Burning. Fire. Heat. A collection of things you hated with a passion, things you've died to in previous lives and here you were- watching someone die because of it. It was odd though, because you knew you should be yelling- maybe trying to go over like.Joseph was...but Jotaro wasn't someone to be taken out by fire. He's too cool for that.
"I win! Your valiant hero finally bit the dust!" Cackle after cackle left the enemy as his arm remained outstretched pointing towards the remainder of the group.
"Is that so? Then who exactly would replace me, Jotaro Kujo?" Excitement, a mixture between excitement and relief flooded your being instantly at the voice, an arm followed soon after breaking through the ground a bit aways. "Let me guess, you thought it'd be you. You road hog."
The enemy's hand visibly shook at the surprise appearance, voice clearly displaying worry even if nobody could see the actual user. "You used yer Star Platinum to burrow into the ground! So all that got burnt up was yer jacket!"
"By the way, weren't you saying something about roads earlier?" Rising up from the ground Jotaro stood tall, nothing covering up the visible muscle of his arm leaving it on display- despite the still bleeding wounds. "You were wrong. A road is a path you make for yourself. So let me, Jotaro Kujo, show you how it's done. I'll show you just how roads are built."
Once more, Star Platinum was out- fists flying at an impressively fast rate all the while his signature 'ora's left him. Punch after punch was delivered until the car inevitably began folding in on itself, the user being flung out with one last particularly loud 'Ora!'.
"And that's how it's done. Where you went flying, a road has been made. Very good, very good." You couldn't help but take the time to admire the ebony haired male in that moment, one hand had been placed on his hip while the other made a sort of finger gun beneath his chin. His expression was that of a closed lipped smile, something that simply read victory.
Moving your gaze away from Jotaro upon noticing that you were staring, they landed on the enemy user. Your face right away twisted up at the sight and you almost wished you'd continued ogling Jotaro. "God he's ugly."
Coming up to look at the man as well, Kakyoin rested a hand on his hip, head tilting as though he expected something else. "His arms are enormous, yet the rest of him is so small. What a facade."
Staring between the two of you, wheel of fortunes user became crawling away ending up grabbing ahold of Polnareff's leg, the french man scowling down at him all the while pressing the sole of his boot into the man's back. "Hey! Don't try to run!" Listening to the man beg and plead for his life, everyone's attention soon trailed towards the deflating car, its true form revealed a piece of junk car but it was still a car nonetheless.
"So what are we going to do with him?" "What a great question my dear (Y/N)." Right away moving to tie the man up in what you'd assume to be a very uncomfortable position, Joseph clapped his hands together- how nonchillant the man was about what'd just happened would be worrying if not for the fact you knew him. "Now that he's taken care of, we'll take this car across the border seeing as ours was totaled."
"Is it even going to make it to the border?" "Who knows." Thinking the same thing, Kakyoin's eyes trailed across the vehicle before everyone loaded on.
"Oh by the way, we're putting you on the next place to Hong Kong." Inputting that from his seat Jotaro glances towards Anne, the girl right away began whining before starting to argue with Polnareff.
God you're going to miss that kid.
