TheRealRohan - I saw your drawing, it makes me so happy to see fanart! Jouji's design will be different from that because he'll mainly take after Hanabi in appearance, but I hope you'll allow me to take some inspiration form your drawing for his outfit. If you are okay with it, I can add an announcement to one of my chapters to inform other readers and have them check out the art.
Guest626 - I'm still going over what I want to do with Jouji. Because I want him to have his own story arc before I start Stone Ocean. I think adding Shizuka might be a thing I'll do, but as of right now nothing is solidified.
UsagiAngelRabbit - I might work her father into part 5, not sure yet.
Alrighty, readers here are the votes so far!
Mista - 17
OC - 15
Mista is now leading the pack!
Just as a reminder to my readers. The Part 5 story will be a love triangle and I'm going to let the readers vote to decide who the main OC will end with. The coting will continue on to the next story and end at a certain chapter.
Thank you!
Forever Unbreakable Diamond - The Show Must Always Go On!
Koichi, Jotaro, and Rohan were all gathered together ready for the meeting. The three were having a small discussion when two figures came running towards them.
Shu and Sho ran up to the group, makeup rolling down their eyes. But their ruined makeup wasn't caused by the rain as both twins carried umbrellas, no, it was due to the river of tears cascading down their cheeks.
"Are you two okay?" Koichi sked
"Yeah, what has you two all worked up?" Rohan questions
"Its Hope!" The Twins shouted
"Hope?" Koichi questioned
"We can't find her!"
"We went to her school-"
"-the bar-"
"-Grandma Minami's house-"
"And her favorite bakery!"
"But we can't find her!"
"Maybe she's with that Josuke. He seems like the type to sneak a girl into his room," Rohan said
Shu and Sho were gasping covering their mouths.
"What are you insinuating?!" Shu shouted
"Yeah, our little sister is no hussy!" Sho shouted
"That's not what I said," Rohan said
"But you were implying it!" The Twins shouted
"No, I wasn't! I was implying that Josuke is irresponsible and might have dragged your sister into his tomfoolery," Rohan said
"Tomfoolery?" The Twins uttered in sync.
"Who uses that word anymore?" Sho said
"Such an outdated term," Shu said
"Oh and hussy is on the cutting edge of vocabulary," Rohan quipped
"So you were calling out sister a hussy!" The Twins shouted
"No, I wasn't! You two need to get your ears and brain checked because they're both clearly not working!" Rohan said
Koichi trying to be the peacekeeper stepped in. "Hey now maybe we should all just take a deep breath and calm down."
"Don't you tell me to calm down!"
Sho grabbed Koichi's shoulders and started shaking the poor boy.
"You listen here shorty! Our precious baby sister is nowhere to be found and some crazed psychotic killer with an obsession for her lives in this town!"
"Stop tormenting Koichi and clam down," Rohan said
"He's not tormenting him! He's expressing his anguish and worry just like I'm doing right now!" Shu shouted
Now it was Rohan's turn to be shaken by one of the twins, as Shu roughly grabbed the manga artist's shoulders shaking him to and fore.
Jotaro sighed tugging down the brim of his hat. "Yare Yare Daze."
Pure hope rushed through Hayato as he looked to his watch then towards the group down the road. As 8:30 hit and nothing happened he gasped.
"Yes! I made it in time! I won against fate!" Hayato cheered
Hayato's cheers were silenced as Kira's voice cut in.
"I was never one for rapturous highs. But I didn't want any deep despair, either. My goal was to live a peaceful life like a plant."
"You've shown yourself! Now I'll make sure your face doesn't look so peaceful." Josuke said
Okuyasu held a photo in his hand glancing down at it then back at the man before them.
"I guess this picture that Rohan took was an instant jackpot."
"Looks like it wasn't a coincidence that we ran into him, Okuyasu. I don't know the details, but since he gave his real name to Hayato Kawajiri, we may have gotten here just in the nick of time." Josuke said
Kira wiped the blood from the side of his mouth. "Just so you know, I wasn't running away from you." He stood fully getting off the ground. "If I wanted to kill you all, I could have done so at any time. The reason I didn't was just because I don't like fighting. Conflict runs counter to the peaceful life that I strive for. It's easy to win one battle, but then you accumulate stress for your next battle. It's a foolish thing to do. Fighting with others is a sad endless process."
Kira cast his gaze upwards looking to the sky.
"But she was quite enraptured with it. With her around, I never had to worry about these foolish endeavors and it made my life much more peaceful," Kira mumbled more to himself.
"You brought this on yourself when you killed Shigechi, you dumb ass!" Josuke cursed
"A pig bastard like you whose hobby is to kill people doesn't have the right to talk about what he wants to do, you dipshit!" Okuyasu yelled
Killer Queen pushed back Crazy Diamond and Josuke retreated his Stand.
"Careful Josuke! Don't touch that shitbag Killer Queen's hand," Okuyasu warned
"That's the only reason I didn't dispose of you all. You're the only three destroying my peace right now. I have no choice but to fight the ones who find out my identity. Although there is a small part of me that will take pleasure in seeing you gone." Kira spoke looking to Josuke. "Josuke Higashikata. You remind me a lot of that fool. I don't know what she saw in him back then and I don't know what she sees in you now."
"Who the hell are you talking about?" Josuke said
"Rose is mine. She has always been mine and forever will be mine. That blonde buffoon took her from me and I won't allow you to do the same. I didn't have Killer Queen before then, so I wasn't able to get rid of him before he took her, but this won't happen this time. I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill all three of you, so I can live a comfortable peaceful life with Rose," Kira said
"Rose...he said that name earlier too. Who is she?" Hayato questioned aloud.
"Josuke...isn't that Hope's mother's name?" Okuyasu mumbled
"Bastard….you bastard what did you do to Hope?!" Josuke shouted
"Rose is home. She's waiting for me. A man should not allow a lady to wait," Kira said
Josuke grit his teeth his fist shaking in rage as he brought out Crazy Diamond.
"Hey, get behind us, Hayato," Okuyasu said
Hayato didn't hesitate running behind Josuke and Okuyasu, shielding himself from the view of Kira.
"Crazy Diamond's range is one to two meters, and it has the ability to fix anything that's been destroyed," Kira said
"I won't need to use that ability against you! I'm just gonna kick your ass!"
Crazy Diamond flew to Killer Queen attacking with several solid punches. Killer Queen was able to deflect and block the attacks before giving a sweeping leg kick knocking Josuke and his Stand off their feet.
"Josuke!" Okuyasu shouted
Killer Queen sliced its hand downwards going for Josuke, but the teen was unphased as he pointed up at the Stand.
"Dora."
Crazy Diamond performed a high kick striking Killer Queen right in the face. Kira flew backwards slamming into a wall, spiderweb cracks forming where the man landed.
"Your moving way too slow, Killer Queen! I guess yearning for a peaceful life has left you lacking in motivation. Looks like your Stand isn't cut out for one-on-one battles." Josuke said
"Josuke, don't let your guard down just because he's slow!" Okuyasu shouted
Killer Queen moved going to touch Josuke's foot.
"If it's best to fight him without touching him, it'd be better to use my Stand, The Hand."
The Hand came out and scraped away the distance between Okuyasu and Kira.
"Bring it!"
Kira was pulled away from Josuke, so he was now facing Okuyasu.
"Scraping away space to teleport, eh? I attacked Josuke, but now the direction of my attack has turned toward you." Kira said
Hayato's attention was drawn away from the fight when he noticed his school bag lying on the ground.
"I-Inside my backpack-!"
*BOOM*
An explosion went off, the attack blowing away a large chunk of Okuyasu's midsection.
"Though I guess it worked out. It still hit right on the dot, despite being the first time I've used it." Kira smirked
"I-I wasn't touched...I-I wasn't even touched…The air...The air breathed fire!"
"Okuyasu!" Josuke let out a loud strangled cry as his friend flew back landing with a limp thud.
Jotaro had finally managed to pry the twins off of Koichi and Rohan, just as his ears picked up a loud cry. The man glanced over his shoulder staring down the empty street.
"Something wrong, Jotaro?" Koichi asked
"No. I just thought the rain sounded like Josuke's voice," Jotaro said
"I'm sure he overslept. If he doesn't show up in the next five minutes, I'm going to head to Hayato Kawajiri's school without them," Rohan said
The twins said nothing as they were now both on their hands and knees, dark depressing clouds hovering over them.
"I can't believe we lost Hope…."
"Were terrible brothers…."
The twins sulked to themselves no longer using their fake feminine voices either.
Koichi watched the two sweatdropping and letting out a sigh.
"Hey! I'm home! I've got bags too so come and help me!"
Minami walked into her house arms full, so she used her feet to shut the door behind her.
"Hey! Ill-mannered brat did you not hear me!"
She shouted out for her granddaughter a second time but still got no response.
"What in the…."
Minami walked into the kitchen putting the bags on the table. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion as she scrutinized the room. Minami let out a low hum before walking over to the phone dialing a number.
Josuke and Higashikata escaped Kira, taking Okuyasu's body with them. Even after healing his wounds Okuyasu didn't wake up. Kira had them cornered so they took refuge inside a random home.
Hayato immediately went for the house's phone but it was no use as the phone line had been cut. Hayato turned to Josuke but paused seeing him staring down at his friend.
"Okuyasu is dead...I'm going to beat the crap out of Yoshikage Kira with my Crazy Diamond and defeat him. I'm going to end this within a few minutes. Hayato stay along the wall there so that Kira can't see you," Josuke said
Hayato followed Josuke's order backing up until he was pressed against the wall. Josuke surveyed the room before walking to the door that led to the main room. Peeking outside the door Josuke tried to calculate where Kira might enter the house.
"Where is he going to enter is the question," Josuke murmured
Hayato stayed in place but locked around the room. As he turned his head some of his hair fell from behind his ear. He pushed it back but the lock of hair immediately fell back. His hair started to sway before he felt something brush past his ear.
"Huh? Wh-What?! Josuke! It's an air bullet! There's one heading toward you right now! It's about the same size as earlier. But that's impossible! There's no way he can tell where you are from outside! How does he know!?"
Josuke thinking quick on his feet grabbed an ashtray on a table nearby tossing it releasing the ash into the air. With the ahs littering the air it made the air bullet visible.
"I-I can tell where it is! We can't tell where the ball of air is. Yes! You'll be able to dodge it!" Hayato exclaimed
Josuke grabbed a pack of cigarettes that was next to the ashtray along with a lighter. He lit the entire pack keeping his eyes on the floating bubble.
"No matter how many come through, you'll be able to dodge them now," Hayato said
Josuke took a step to the right and the bubble followed. Both Josuke and Hayato gasped seeing how the bubbles' movement mimicked Josuke, following its target with ease.
"What?"
Jouske took a step backwards out of the doorway into the main foyer and the bubble continued to follow him.
"I-Its going after Josuke?" Hayato said
Josuke backed up continuing into the other room going up a set of stairs, the entire time the bubble keeping up with him like some kind of dog trailing after its master.
"Yoshikage Kira knows where I am. Where is he? How is he seeing me?" Josuke said
"There were no windows in that room! The curtains are all drawn, too! There's no way he can see you from outside! It's automatic! It must be automatically chasing you!" Hayato shouted
"No, that's not right. The version of Killer Queen that's automatic goes after heat and it's called Sheer Heart Attack. But, it's not going after the lit cigarette there. More importantly, if it was automatically tracking me the air bullet wouldn't be able to go through the wall and Yoshikage Kira plans to do the final detonation himself to finish me off. It's a mystery, but he knows exactly where I am!"
The bubble sped up barreling straight towards Josuke.
"It's getting faster!" Hayato shouted
Josuke moved faster up the stairs, "Find Kira for me! Find out how he's watching me!"
Hayato jogged over to the window peeking between the curtains. He spotted Kira standing just outside the gate of the home obscured by a wall.
"I-I found him! He-He's right outside the gate."
"He's outside?" Josuke questioned
"I can't figure out how he's able to pinpoint your location from there, Josuke. Hurry and run!" Hayato said
Crazy Diamond came forth and smashed a nearby vase. The glass shards lit with a golden light before reconstructing into a large shard shaped like a heart.
"That bastard! I don't know how he's watching me but I didn't want you chasing me in the first place! Crazy Diamond!"
Crazy Diamond flicked the heart shard with a strong propelling force sending it flying off and out the window just as the bubble came in close.
*BOOM*
Hayato screamed as the bubble blew up right next to Josuke. The railing of the stairs was blown into several pieces and a few large wooden stakes flew into Josuke stabbing him right in the side.
Outside the home, Kira could feel a smile coming to his lips as his victory seemed close within his grasp.
"Yes! It was a direct hit-!"
Kira saw and heard the glass of the house window break as the heart shard came flying at him.
"Killer Queen!"
His Stand came out flicking the projectile away like it was a mere bug.
"My, my, that was close. But I was on my guard. Your willpower to try to get one final blow in, that's why I won't go near you, Josuke Higashikata."
Inside, Josuke's body had fallen from the top of the stairs and he was now laying on the floor bleeding from the puncture wounds riddling his body.
"J-Josuke!" Hayato cried out.
Josuke grunted as he slowly moved.
"H-He's alive." Hayato grabbed the back of Josuke's uniform trying to pull him to safety, a trail of blood being left on the floor. "W-We-We have to get away from here!"
"Y-You're pulling me the wrong way….this is the opposite direction. Not that way….it's the opposite direction! I'm going to kill him! We need to go in the direction of Yoshikage Kira. My Crazy Diamond can't fix my own wounds, but once my blood has left my body and hardened, it's just another object. It's no longer part of me."
To prove his point Josuke scraped away some of the dried blood on his face.
"Therefore, I can gather it and stick it onto other things. So I stuck some inside a shard of glass. The rain stopped, and the bloodstain on his jacket earlier should have hardened now! That's my automatic tracking bomb."
Outside Kira's back was turned, so he didn't see the heart shard turning like a boomerang coming back at him. He stood no chance as the heart pierced him right in the back.
"So fucking pissed…."
Hope hadn't noticed before due to the grogginess she had felt but when she attempted to move her arms she was met with a metallic clanking noise. She moved her wrists to find them both enclosed by metal. Kira had handcuffed her to the bed.
"Shit….Damn this hurts…."
Despite the pain she was in Hope pulled herself up, so she was in a more upright position in bed resting most of her weight on her forearms. She could only sit up so far as her movements were restricted thanks to the handcuffs.
"The rain...it's dying down…"
Sweat was running down Hope's brow as she took slow controlled breaths digging her fingers into the sheets beneath her.
"Chiii…."
Kira fell to his knees heaving in pain as Josuke's surprise attack did quite the damage as the heart shard was lodged deep within Kira's back.
"The shard of glass that I was able to guard against," He looked to the speck of blood on his suit jacket. "It must be this bloodstain. This stain must have led that glass shard right to me!"
Hayato gaped amazed staring through the window at the wounded Kira.
"I-It was a direct hit! It's embedded right into Kira's back!"
Josuke summoned Crazy Diamond, the Stand holding another glass shard. He peeked outside through the sliver of the curtains and caught Kira dragging himself back behind the safety of the wall. With keen eyes, Josuke also spotted how Kira grabbed his cellphone taking that with him but leaving behind his briefcase.
"That's…."
When Kira was safely hidden he summoned Killer Queen and Stray Cat to create another air bubble sending it towards the house.
"It's here! Th-This ones big enough to see!" Hayato shouted as he spotted the bubble.
"That must mean that this is his final shot. This will be mine too!"
Crazy Diamond shot the heart shard outside just like before.
"I-I don't think the same attack will work twice on Kira! He'll dodge it!" Hayato said
"We'll just have to see about that. By the way, Hayato, sorry, but the lighter from earlier is in my pocket. Could you get it for me? It's a bit hard for me to get it myself with this pole sticking out of my stomach," Josuke said
"The smoke is useless now! You can see the air bullet!" Hayato shouted
"The air bullet isn't what I want to use the lighter to see this time. I'm going to look at something else, so…."
Hayato was confused but did what Josuke asked grabbing the lighter and handing it over.
"Let's find out why he can see where I am. Don't move, Hayato."
Josuke gingerly held the flame at the bottom of Hayato's vest slightly alarming the boy, but he remained still as the flame was held close to him.
"J-Josuke? Wh-Wha are you…."
"Stay still Hayato."
Hayato let out a small cry as the bottom of his vest started to burn.
"He might not be watching. He might be listening. Kira had a cellphone. Did he just happen to have it? No! So then, who was he talking to? Was it his boss from the office? No, that's not right. There's only one person that Kira would be calling right now." Josuke explained
A small fire was burning on Hayato's vest and only a second later the pocket started to move.
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
Yoshihiro came flying out of Hayato's pocket, and in the polaroid ghost's hand was a phone. While Hayato jumped shocked Josuke moved using Crazy Diamond to snatch the phone right out of the screaming ghost hands.
"I'd completely forgotten about you, old man in the picture. The one who's trying to protect Yoshikage Kira!" Josuke said
Hayato patted down his vest killing the flame. "I have no idea when he got inside my pocket, so this was the answer!"
The sound of the curtains furling caught their attention. The large air bubble had just entered the room through the window.
"Th-The air bullet passed through the window!" Hayato exclaimed
"Get back!"
Josuke didn't move as the air bubble floated and impacted right on his head. Hayato shouted gaping but the bubble didn't explode, in fact, it was gently molding itself around Josuke's face, like oil on top of water.
Josuke held the phone up to his face speaking into it with a low gruff voice. "Josuke is running away three meters ahead."
The bubble slid across Josuke going in the direction he stated, which meant it was going after Yoshihiro.
"Sh-Shit!"
"And he's now moving diagonally right, then up three meters," Josuke spoke
Yoshihiro screamed as the bubble got closer and closer.
"And now, he's running away one meter to the left."
"What?! How can you do that, you bastard?!" Yoshihiro yelled
"Right there. Detonate!"
*CLICK*
"Yoshikage!"
*BOOM*
Hayato and Josuke ducked down covering their heads as the bubble detonated. The explosion was the largest one yet blowing out the windows as well as creating a hole in the roof.
*BOOM*
Koichi, Rohan, Jotaro, and the twins, who were still on the ground, all looked as they heard the explosion. Only a few blocks away they could see black smoke rising.
Kira laughed almost giddy into the phone. "I did it! Josuke's been blown away, hasn't he?"
"Yeah, he was gloriously blown away."
Kira froze as the person on the other end spoke, someone who clearly wasn't his father.
"All the way to Hell, with my directions. Though I mean, he was a ghost to begin with, so it's more like he finally made it over."
"Josuke!"
Kira growled into the phone, he was shaking in rage and failed to see the second heart shard coming his way.
Bleeding and struggling to walk Josuke made his way outside and was met face to face with Kira, the man not in any better condition than the teen.
Despite dripping the most blood on the ground Josuke stood strong pointing at Kira.
"You're within my range, Yoshikage Kira! Bring out your Killer Queen."
The air grew tense as the two men were in a standoff.
"Killer Queen!"
Killer Queen attacked but Crazy Diamond easily blocked the attack knocking away the other Stand's arms leaving it wide open. Crazy Diamond delivered a powerful punch right into Killer Queen's jaw. The force was so hard that Killer Queen's face chipped and cracked.
"Dora! Dora! Dora!"
With strength and speed fueled by pure rage, Crazy Diamond pummeled Killer Queen with such speed it was almost impossible to keep up with.
It seemed like Josuke was going to win but when the attack was over something was wrong. Killer Queen was unharmed, air bubbles acting as a shield to block the attack.
"Huh...W-What? We were so close! Josuke is stronger than him!"
"M-My fist didn't hit him."
"These air bullets acted like cushions! B-But it wasn't my intention to have it guard me. I didn't have time for that!"
The panel in Killer Queen's stomach opened up revealing Stray Cat, the creature hissing angrily.
"I see, Stray Cat thought it was being attacked, so it instinctively blocked that attack!"
This was his chance. This was Kira's chance to take out Josuke.
"Killer Q-!"
"Must Go-On!"
"Chiii!"
"Wha-?!"
A flying foot came out of nowhere and slammed right into Kira's face. The man was sent flying to the ground as his attacker landed solidly getting into a fighting pose.
Everyone's eyes were wide in astonishment, Kira's being the most. Horns glowed with a bright pink aura paired with a spaded tail swaying back and forth.
"Well, well, well….looks like I'm a little late to the party."
A wink was sent Josuke's way.
"Got a little banged up there huh Josuke?"
"Hope!" Josuke said
"No way! T-That's her! That's Hope Sato!" Hayato shouted
Hope smirked putting a hand on her hip standing tall on her own two feet.
"R-Rose...B-But how?"
Hope smirked, "Surprised?"
"Your legs? How are your legs back?" Kira said
"Legs….?" Josuke whispered
Hope was still in her school uniform, obviously having no time to charge, her shoes were gone, and the bottom of her skirt was charred along with various stains of blood on the uniform. Hope's breathing was a bit labored, and she was still pale, but other than that she seemed to be doing well considering what had happened to her.
"Is it possible? Did Josuke find her and heal her? No, by the look on his face he's surprised, plus she looks rather worn out and her uniform is still burned. So how...?"
"It was just a theory but I'm glad it worked out. You see my Stand, Must Go-On absorbs the energy from other Stand's when they attack my body. With that, I can use the energy to heal my wounds. Killer Queen has a lot of power, which my Stand absorbed when you attacked me, ergo not only did Must Go-On have enough energy to heal my legs but it had enough energy to grow them back. It hurt like hell but I'm glad that I got to kick you in the face with my own two feet, felt good," Hope said
"Rose, you were always the resilient one. You always knew how to get back on your feet," Kira said
"My name is Hope Sato."
Kira narrowed his eyes. "Don't use that dirty name. Sato. The dirty man, Domino Sato, soiled you, Rose."
"He may be an idiot sometimes but my father is a far greater man than you'll ever be. My mother wouldn't choose you and you'll be damn sure I won't either." Hope smirked, "Besides I'm already spoken for by Josuke Higashikata."
Behind Hope, Josuke smirked with a small flush to his cheeks, his smirk held a small smugness to it as he looked at Kira.
Kira, however, was sneering with an angered frown.
"Rose….why must you be so difficult...fine." Kira's expression calmed down so it was more placid. "If I can't have you then I can't allow you to be with anyone else. I can't allow you to live. No matter though your hands will do, I'll preserve as best as I can."
Hope's brows furrowed, "Fine. Come at me asshole!"
"Killer Queen! Turn that air bubble into int a bomb!" Kira shouted
Killer Queen brought its hand down on one of Stray Cat's air bullets that had been protecting it.
*CLICK*
Hope smirked, "Gotcha."
*BOOM*
An explosion went off right in front of Kira throwing him back and onto the street.
"W-What...H-How-How did that happen?" Hayato gaped
Kira struggled to sit up, burns on his clothes and skin, more blood spilling to the ground.
"H-How, the bubble...it exploded on its own…"
"Like it? How does it feel to have a taste of your own medicine?" Hope smirked crossing her arms behind her was Must Go-On sporting the same smirk, the Stand had its thumbs pressed down, in the same manner, Killer Queen would do when it was detonating one of its bombs. "Left that little present for you while I was kicking you in the face."
"K-Killer Queen!"
Killer Queen created another bubble sending it to Hope. Hope prepared for the attack but the bubble went off course veering to the left.
"W-What?!" Kira shouted
"Th-The air bullet went off its course!" Hayato said
"Y-You're…"
"Okuyasu!"
All the males in the area were shocked to see Okuyasu standing there, Hope however just gave him a blank look.
"Oh hey...was wondering where you were," Hope said
"Hope you're here and okay," Okuyasu said
"Yeah for the most part," Hope said
"You know I always wondered where all the stuff I scrape away with The Hand goes. Though I'm not really smart, so whenever I think too much about anything, I get a headache."
The Hand swiped at the air bullet and it vanished.
"There."
"What?!" Kira shrieked
"I-I can't believe it, i-its Okuyasu. But his heart and breathing had completely stopped," Hayato said
"Heart and breathing….? Wait! Are you saying Okuyasu was dead!?" Hope whipped her head around looking at Okuyasu. "Were you dead?!"
"Well...I had a weird dream. While I was walking amid the darkness in that dream, I saw a light. And I saw my dead brother. My big brother, Keicho. He asked me where I was going, so I said that I was going to follow him. I mean, my Bro was always reliable. Ne never made any bad decisions, so I'd have nothing to worry about. But then he said I should decide for myself. He said 'Okuyasu, you're the one who has to decide where you're going to go.' I thought for a bit, and answered that I was going back to Morioh, and then I woke up. It was a really sad dream." Okuyasu explained
"The hell Okuyasu! You really are dense," Hope said
"Huh?" Okuyasu said
"Okuyasu ...Y-You've got some nerve dreaming at a time like this!" Josuke shouted
"There's that lousy attitude! Despite your wounds, you seem pretty okay." Okuyasu said
Josuke hunched over and his shoulders shook. When he looked up he had tears going down his face with a smile on his face.
"Shut up!" Josuke laughed out. "If you were alive, you should have woken up sooner, damn it!"
"I-Impossible fate should have been on my side. I should have been given my opportunity!"
Killer Queen came out with Stray Cat in view.
"Stray Cat! Shoot another shot!"
*FWOOOOO*
A sharp yet delicate whistle rang in the air.
"Stray Cat? Stray Cat attack!" Kira said
The hybrid Stand remained unmoving as if in some kind of trance.
"Yeah, I don't think he'll be listening to you."
Everyone looked to Hope who was once again smirking.
Hope let out a small chuckle flipping her hair over her shoulder. "Did I forgot to mention I brought a little backup."
Soft clicking sounds as someone appeared behind Kira.
"Jotaro told me to stay behind at the hotel but I'm glad I didn't, or wouldn't have run into Hope," Hanabi said
Hanabi was behind Kira only a few feet away with Iggy Jr. right at her feet. Queen's Thorn was out, the Stand had two fingers in its mouth implying it was the one who had whistled.
"W-What-?!" Kira gasped
"Hanabi here can control plants, I think that counts for Stray Cat too," Hope said
"That's right. As long as I'm here you can't use that plant Stand," Hanabi said
"I think we'll just be taking that now, Okuyasu" Hope said
"Right."
The Hand swiped at Killer Queen pulling Stray Cat right from out of its compartment and into Okuyasu's hand.
"Wh-What?!" Kira gasped
"Whoa-Whoa!" Okuyasu held tightly onto Stray Cat as it yowled and flailed in his hand.
Hope looked at the hybrid Stand smiling at it.
"Calm down or else."
Stray Cat bristled not in anger but in fear. It's animal instincts took over and it settled down submitting to Hope.
"There we go," Hope said petting Stray Cat.
"Y-Yes! Now Kira won't be able to use air bullet bombs!" Hayato cheered
"Th-Th-There-" Kira stuttered swaying on his feet. His head was cocked, chin twisted upwards a strained sneer on his lips. "There has never been any trouble that I, Yoshikage Kira, was unable to overcome!"
"Look Jotaro!"
!
A few feet away standing behind Kira adjacent to Hanabi was Jotaro, Koichi, Rohan, Sho, and Shu.
"That loud sound must've come from that house. I wonder what happened. Was it a gas explosion? L-Look!" Koichi pointed at Kira. "That man is injured! And...is that Hanabi?"
"Hanabi?" Jotaro questioned looking at his wife who was standing a short distance away.
Kira was like a deer caught in headlights. He was blocked on all sides.
"Josuke, Okuyasu, and Hope are there, too!" Koichi said
"Hope!" Shu and Sho shouted
"That kid is Hayato Kawajiri from the picture," Rohan said
"And that man is Kosaku Kawajiri. It looks like everything's falling into place." Jotaro said
The explosion had caused alarm in the neighborhood and the emergency response team was just arriving at the scene.
"Any fate that would side with you, any opportunity that would come your way is nothing compared to the heart of justice that's here right now! It's definitely here! It's right here for sure! Compared to that heart, you're nothing!" Hayato shouted
