This story is a work of fiction. Nothing in this story connects to real life (Except for stand names, which are based off of songs and bands.)
My name's Jin Morioshi, I've heard of stands before, they're like some ghost thing that only other stands can beat and only other users can see. I inherited one from one of my parents. Mine's called 'Break Free' I have no idea what it's capable of, but it's tied to me. My thoughts were disrupted when the news turned flashed on, interrupting the normal broadcast.
"Breaking News: The 'Green Dolphin Street' prison has been attacked. Every prisoner has been found dead, and the guards show no physical damage, but are also dead. We're not sure what has happened there, but professional investigators are looking into this." The news reporter exclaimed.
And then, someone broke into my house. At least that's what I think, I heard a smashing noise near my house's entrance. I got up, and was ready for whoever was there.
I got up, and rushed to the door, and just as I thought, someone had destroyed my door.
"Hello, Jin." A voice said from above.
"Do I know you? Or is this our first time meeting?" I ask, staring at the broken door.
"I'm going to kill you right now. Thanks to my stand, Imagine Dragons, I can blend into any surface and stick to any surface." He explains.
I roll forward instinctively, hearing a thump behind me, I knew I just avoided their attack.
"Good job. I guess I should tell you my name then. I am Jean Dion. That's all I will tell you before my stand kills you. You see, it doesn't only have the ability to make me blend into environments, it can also shoot out fire." He said.
Then he summoned his stand, it looked like some firefighter, with two dragon heads on his hands and a big mouth in the middle. It tilted it's two dragon hands towards me, and fire blasted out towards me. Doing what I thought would be smart, I ran out into the streets, and jumped the fence into my backyard and hid. I could hear him coming out now into the yard.I could hear his feet trudging along the ground, I could also hear the flames of Imagine Dragons coming closer too me, so I used my own stand 'Break Free' to make a hole in my houses wall and climbed through. Once I was on the other side, I kept it open large enough so I could see through it. He passed the hole, and I reopened the hole and jumped through, attempting a sneak attack.
"BREAK FREE!!!" I yelled, summoning my stand.
My stand gave Jean the pummeling he deserved, y'know, the good ol' 'Ora ora'. I stopped after maybe a good 30 seconds of punching. I thought that would be enough, but apparently it wasn't. He got back up fairly swiftly and ran around to the the back if my house. I gave chase, following him around. By the time I had gotten there however, he was gone. Not a trace of him left.
"Damn that stupid stand and it's ability to make him blend in. I'll show him who's boss..." I thought to myself.
"Hey! Kid! Up here! You can't get me now! So I'll retreat and come back later for my revenge, just you wait!" Jean yelled, standing on my precious roof.
"Get down here you punk! I ain't done dealing with you yet!" I yelled, but, by that point he had already retreated back to wherever he came from. Why he was after me confused me the most. How did he know I was a stand user. Oh well, those were questions for another time, I suppose.
I sighed, staring at the roof of my house, knowing that someone just stood on my dirty rooftop. I walked through the broken doorway and slump back onto my sofa, flicking on the TV once more, completely forgetting about the assassin who just tried doing his job and assassinating me. I guess I forget about things quickly, then I stare through the peep hole I had made with Break Free, and see the burnt shrubs of my once lush garden.
"That bitch is gonna pay, I'm gonna get enough money outta him so he can pay for my door repairs..." I say to myself, knowing that I'll get that guy to pay for what he did to my house, "I just gotta remember that he can turn camo and blend in and stick to anything."
I left the house, and began my search for the assassin in the marketplace. If I found him here, it would be dangerous seeing all the civilians living out their lives. Although I couldn't find him, I did find proof of him being there, there were scorch marks all over one of the stalls, it looks like it should've been completely burnt down, but it was fine.
"You like my handy work? I'm pretty crafty." Said a voice from behind.
I swung around and asked, "Who are you?"
"Name's Mina Higashikata, nice to meet you," She said, "Craftiness runs in the family, even if it is by unconventional means."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask.
"I just told you my name, hurry up and tell me yours, or things are gonna get messy in the alleyway..." She said, glaring at me.
"I'm Jin Morioshi, I don't think you need to take things too far..." I say, worrying that I might have a detour in my plan.
"Little too late for introductions now, Jin, I've lost my patience, so I think I'm gonna beat the crap out of you, for stress relief, y'know?"
I'm pulled into the alleyway against my will, and then thrown to the back of the alleyway.
"Now, this may seem strange, but I'ma hit you with some invisible punches now, runs in my family," She says.
Then it appears, another stand. It was a humanoid looking stand with blue armor and lots of hearts on it. I straighten myself up, before calling my own stand, Break Free, and create a hole in the side of a building nearby and dive through and seal the gap. Even with my best efforts, the enemy stand smashes through the wall, and dragging me back into the alleyway.
"So, you've got one of them stand things as well? Mine's called Crazy Diamond, a stand I inherited from my ancestors. It has the ability to fix things, even people, if they're not dead anyways," She tells me, "What's yours called Tell me, and I might let you go free."
"Mine's called Break Free, and, if you'd excuse me, I have someone to find right now," I say, making my way out of the alleyway only to be blocked again.
"Who? Do they by chance have flamethrowers strapped to their arms?" She asks
"Yeah, something like that. I need to go before he finds me though, I'm a target," I inform her
"Are you talking about me?" A voice comes from behind, judging by that line, it's probably Jean.
"Goddammit! It's him!" I say, rushing out of the alleyway, I know I said I wanted to make the bastard pay for my door and all, but now that I see him again, I just want to run away. But I don't. Instead, I decide to fight back.
"Hey, can I join in Jin? I wanna get my payback after this guy destroyed a stall," Mina said, coming to my side.
Jean finally revealed himself, and jumped off of the wall he was on. He summoned his stand 'Imagine Dragons'. Mina brought out Crazy Diamond and rushed him head on, while I went into a neighboring building in order to get a sneak attack on him, I could hear the two of them fighting, so I create another hole and leap through coming at him from the side. He's knocked off balance and into the wall, by this point he had been surrounded by the two of us. The middle mouth of his stand opened and he disappeared again, we covered each others back, waiting for him to make his next move, that's when it happened, like a fly dropping from the air in death, Jean fell from his perch, cold and lifeless. Someone else seems to have killed him from the inside. He couldn't move and was frozen in place.
"That's nine now. Nine foolish users who think they can win my fights themselves. It was a mistake to hire this fool," A man said, coming out of the building that I had kept making holes in. Actually, not so much coming out of, but more of phasing through.
"I'll kill you two right now, so I don't have to waste time hiring more of assassins," He said.
He was a robed figure, masked.
"Who are you? What did you just do to him?" I asked, looking at the paralyzed body.
"I don't need to tell you my name. You'll be dead by then. I can kill anyone with my stand, Locked Away."
