CHAPTER NINE
The time has come to set off to take down J.P. Morgan. "Our agents have tracked down Morgan. He's currently at Niagara Falls with Edison for the grand opening of the Niagara hydroelectric power. By the time we get there he should be done with the ceremony and be getting ready to leave. That's when we will take him down." said Drathus. ""That's the plan at least."" said Fitz telepathically ("" "" means the sentence is said telepathically). "Ggghhh." shouted Alex when Fitz started talking. Fuego started laughing the second Alex freaked out. ""Please give us a heads up when you're gonna join the conversation Fitz. I'm still not used to Sweet Child O' Mine's telepathic abilities."" said Alex. ""You should have gotten used to it by now."" said Fitz. "He's right. Fitz's ability to allow us to communicate at a distance instantly is incredibly powerful." said Fuego. "She's right. If we had this ability in the civil war it would have ended way sooner." said Drathus. "Alright I get it. I'll try and get used to it." said Alex. The three continued their trip to Niagara.
The three of them arrive at Niagara and they noticed some weird markings on the ground as they drove through town. "I don't like the look of those symbols." said Alex. The symbols were shaped like lightning bolts. "They're probably just marking where they're gonna build electrical lines." said Fuego. "Be careful just in case. Morgan might have set up a trap beforehand as a precaucion." said Drathus. As they got closer to the power plant. The markings became more frequent. About a kilometer from the plant the car wheel ran over one of the markings. Lightning came rushing down from the sky. "Get out of the car!" shouted Alex. Drathus, Alex, and Fuego all managed to jump out of the car. The driver however was caught in the car. The lightning electrocuted the driver and burnt the car to the point where it caught fire.
"You two go ahead." said Alex. "Why? We're a part of this fight too." said Fuego. "He's here." said Drathus. "Leave Edison to me. You two take down Morgan." said Alex. Alex stood there ready for battle with a determined look on his face. "You better win." said Fuego. "Don't worry. I'll win and make it to save your ass. I'll be the hero here, because lady luck is on my side." said Alex. Fuego just thought that Alex was being his usual idiot self. "I'll hold you to that." said Drathus. The two left Alex and continued to head towards the power plant. "Well now look at what we have here. A brave little idiot who wants to act tough." said Edison as he stepped out from behind a tree. "I didn't.I was just trying to act cool, but lady luck made it true." said Alex.
"You're a cocky brat. Come and get me." said Edison. "Come on out Hail To The King." said Alex. His stand appeared and it looked like a humanoid robot. It had a slot dial in the center of it's chest. With the numbers one through six on them. It's main color was black, but it had gold platings all over its body resembling armor. "Kneel to the crown." said Hail To The King as the dial in its chest began to spin. Tension raised as the dial spun. Not knowing what the outcome would cause. "Let's go." shouted Alex as the dial landed on the number three. In that moment Alex had moved and was less than two meters from Edison. The second before that he was ten meters away. Hail To The King clenched his fists and began to move forward. 'Watch your step." said Edison. His stand AC DC came out and placed lightning symbols all over the ground between them. Edison then jumped backwards and pulled out his gun. "I don't know what you did, but you're not gonna get a second chance. Time stop." said Alex. He is now behind Edison. "Hail To The King third ability is Time stop." he said. Since Alex stepped over a symbol when he got behind Edison during his time stop. Lightning shot down at the sky at him. Alex quickly grabbed Edison's arm "you bastard." said Edison. "If I get electrocuted then so do you." said Alex. As the lightning hit the two, Edison's body turned into electricity and shot away from Alex.
Alex was burned from the lightning strike and Edison was ok and is now fifteen meters away from Alex. "I see. You can stop time, but it seems your ability is limited. You can't attack me while time is stopped. If you could. I would be dead. Yet that's not the only weakness. I bet you also have some sort of limit as to how much time you can stop at once." said Edison. Alex's face showed slightly more aggression. "By the look on your face I assume I'm right. Now let's end this." said Edison. He pointed his gun at Alex and fired three shots. "Time stop." shouted Alex. He managed to stop time before the second and third bullets hit him. He was shot in the rib. It's not fatal, but he's not in a good spot. "You're right. I can't attack and time is only stopped till I take five steps. Yet you don't know what is going to happen next. Once time resumes my thirty seconds will be up and I can spin my slot again." said Alex. He took five steps to the right and got ready for the next spin. "Time begins to move again." said Alex.
Time is now moving again and Alex is now to the right of Edison. For a second Edison was shocked when Alex disappeared for a second. Till he realized that Alex stopped time. "I will admit you're smarter than I thought. When you were struck by lightning you grabbed me. Forcing me to weaken the strength of the lightning. You even managed to dodge my bullets. That's some luck you got there, but will it run out." said Edison. "It seems my luck is still good, because you didn't realized that I was spinning the wheel." said Alex. "Kneel to the crown." said Hail To The King as the spinning dial landed on five. "Yes." said Alex in joy of what he got. "Dial five. Restoration." said Alex. Hail To The King used its ability to completely heal Alexander. "I see. Your stands ability changes depending upon what number you land on and from what I'm seeing you only get about thirty seconds with each ability." said Edison. "Even if you know how my stand works. Doesn't mean you can beat my other abilities. Yet that doesn't matter, because you're going down now." said Alex. He lunged towards Thomas with a stand leap and threw a punch with Hail To The King. "Rei." shouted Hail To The King. "Die." shouted Edison as he fired the last three shots in his revolver into Alex. At the same time Alex stepped on a Lightning symbol and was struck by lightning.
None of those attacks mattered. Alex's restoration just kept healing him instantly. "There is only one downfall to restoration." alex thought to himself. When Alex heals he feel pain tenfold to what he normally would. The pain itself was almost enough to knock him out. He had to grit his teeth and deal with the pain. Nothing Edison could do could kill Alex and the distance between them was closing fast. Edison tries to dodge, but was to late. The first punch lands right in the middle of Thomas's face. The unrelenting burrage doesn't stop there. Hundreds of punches land in a very short amount of time. All while Hail To The King was shouting "ReiReiReiReiReiReiReiRei." Edison was sent flying. He landed a few meters away from Alex.
While Alex's and Edison are fighting, Fuego and Drathus were running to the power plant. "Hey Fuego. I was wondering why you are so hard on Alex? Several of the others brought this up to me and it got me curious." asked Drathus. "He's young and inexperienced. In battle that can lead to death. He's strong I'll give him that, but he puts to much trust in lady luck and doesn't realize that luck can change in an instant." said Fuego. "I see, yet I don't think we can fault him. There are some things that must be learned the hard way. I can also see a parallel between his lady luck and your El Diablo." said Drathus. "El Diablo has only caused me harm in my life. It only stopped when I sold my soul. Don't say they're the same" said Fuego. "You're right. They're not the same. Your El Diablo is much darker." said Drathus.
Thomas Edison lies on the ground and is now laughing "Hahahahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA." The laughter was quiet at first, but it slowly grew louder. "It finally started up. The power plant." said Edison. "What would the power plant have to do with the situation you're in." Edison stood up and said "My stand gets stronger based on how much electricity it absorbs. It gains its power from the symbols I put on the power plants I built. The more energy I absorb the stronger I get, yet the distance from the energy source also affects my power output. Now that the huge hydroelectric power plant is turned on. I have almost limitless power!" said Edison. He used his stand AC DC to create a cage of lightning around him. "I thought you could only use lightning through your symbols." said Alex. "When I'm far away from my power plants I have to use the symbols to help me concentrate my electricity. Now that the Niagara power plant is running I don't need symbols anymore." said Edison.
"Damn it. Hail To The King." shouted Alex. "Kneel to the crown." said Hail To The King as it spun its dial. "Oh no you don't." said Edison as he shot lightning at Alex. Alex barely managed to dodge the attack. He quickly looked at his stand to see what number he got. It was the number four. "Shit!" Alex yelled. Hail To The King disappeared. "What's wrong. Can't use your stand." said Edison in a voice that sounded like he was talking to a kid. "Damn it I just have to avoid getting hit for thirty seconds." Alex thought to himself. Alex keeps running to the left and dodging the lightning shot at him. Edison was not able to use his stand to the fullest, because of how much damage he had already taken.
Fuego and Drathus have finally arrived at the Niagara power plant. When they entered the front door the instantly saw J.P. Morgan. "Don't make a scene. There are a bunch of people here that can be taken as hostages." said Drathus. The walked up to Morgan and Drathus said "J.P. Morgan would you kindly come with us. We are the Bull Moose sent her by president Roosevelt." said Drathus. "If you wish to battle then I have a spot already set up out back of the plant. I may be your enemy, but I do think of myself as a civilized gentleman." said Morgan. At that moment a woman's screams can be heard. The three of them went to where the screams came from. Even Morgan did not know what was going on. Before them lies the unknown.
