This is it, the big battle where all of Momonga's plans reach their climax. Let's see how it goes down. There will be several fights that don't get a conclusion on-screen, but I did pick each match-up carefully.

Spirit Tracks Chapter 32: Tempest

It was the day after the attack at Carne Village. Boullope had received word through the communication device on his Stand that Barbro had escaped, but was now likely wanted in connection to the conspiracy. 'Damn. We may need to modify our plans at this point. It shouldn't be too hard to arrange an assassination of the other royal family members and have Barbro take the throne that way. But first we have a war to fight.' He had read the report from those that had been invited into the tomb. The monstrous beings sounded like what he knew of Momonga's Stand and those of his allies. But such monsters did exist so it was hard to gauge.

Elsewhere on the battlefield George was looking through the telescope provided to him. "There's Ulbert," he noted, "And it seems His Eminence saw fit to send three of his imperial knights." "Each of them is know to a be a Stand user," Starlight noted, "But it's still sixteen of us versus sixteen of them. An even split number." "Even more if we consider Gazef and his three friends," Gyro noted, "My major concern is that I see Bellriver and Punitto near the back. It's clearly Punitto's Stand causing everyone to think Nazarick is ruled by monsters. The question is, what illusions will he conjure next, and how does Bellriver tie into that?"

As part of the plan, George and his team had been informed of everything Momonga's faction was capable of. Just then the gates of the Baharuth camp opened, and out from them walked a number of skeletal soldiers. "Death Knights!," Starlight realized. "They must be servants of the tomb," Zesshi noted, "There's so many of them." "The insignia on their standards matches the tapestry we got from the mausoleum," Hekkeran noted, "Must be the symbol of the kingdom Nazarick once was." "So what's the plan?," Holly asked, "How do we intend to expose Barbro's co-conspirators?" George pointed to Down at the Station, which was directly behind the Baharuth camp.

"That's how," he explained, "Only someone trying to disrupt the Spirit Tracks would attack near it so recklessly." He then pointed to Boullope's unit. "See how they're the only one's readying to march without hesitation? They're all under Boullope's command, and he is knowingly telling them to march on a sacred landmark." Holly nodded. "Gotcha. But I don't think I see anyone else so determined. The other units and their commanders seem hesitant." "There's going to be a major show of power from Momonga's faction as well," Lakyus chimed in, "Meant to be so overwhelming the Stand user behind the demon train will be forced to activate it to save themselves."

"And with Punitto's mist it'll be visible to all," George noted, "Even non-Stand users." He chuckled. "Wouldn't it be interesting if it was Boullope who was the Stand user we're looking for?" Just then, a series of magic circles appeared around Undead. "Hold on," Gazef said, "Momonga's Stand can't work like that!" "It must be Punitto's work," George realized, "He's using Welcome to the Masquerade to give the illusion of a powerful magic caster. Likely this is tied to Bellriver using Offspring to summon something terrible."

"I really hope he's not into the SCP wiki," Gyro noted. "Oh God, don't even joke," George said with some nervous laughter. The others looked confused but figured the friends were talking about something really bad. On the other side of the field, Momonga noticed most of the Re-Estize army was retreating, while Boullope's unit was advancing. "He must suspect trickery via Stand power. Nimble, how many would you say are in his unit?" Nimble looked at the advancing force. "I'd estimate it to be around seventy-thousand."

"Boullope will be our primary suspect," Momonga said, "Bellriver, make sure to summon something terrifying, but not insurmountable." Bellriver nodded. "I think I can come up with something. I'll be sure to drop it right next to Boullope's forces. Offspring!" A massive amount of the dark smoke erupted from Offspring, invisible thanks to Welcome to the Masquerade. To all watching, it appeared as though a sudden dark sphere appeared in midair in front of Boullope's unit, before dropping to the ground and erupting. The result was the creation of five giant goat-like creatures, pitch black and bulky with sharply curved horns.

The five creatures charged through Boullope's unit, mowing down close to ten-thousand on their first charge. One got too close to the rest of the army, trampling a few thousand before falling to the soldiers' spears, only to have it replaced from the same dark pit. "I think that should do it," Momonga noted, "Nimble, have the Baharuth soldiers skirt the perimeter. That should keep them out of harm's way." Nimble nodded. "Looks like George's team is moving in," Ulbert noticed, "Now's the time for our promised battle."

The battle at that point was pure chaos. The beasts killed thousands in their rampage, and though easily killed they were always respawned. Easier to handle were the Death Knights and Baharuth soldiers as they clashed with the Re-Estize forces, and many Death Knights were destroyed by the hands of the various Stand users. Gazef ran across the field before stopping at the sight of Baziwood. "Looks like I finally get a wish of mine," Baziwood said, "I've always wanted to see how my skill matches up with yours. We have a lot in common after all."

Gazef smiled as he closed his eyes. "Indeed. I only wish the government of my country had the wisdom yours does." He dismounted. His Stand was already active, as a symbol to his country. "I've heard of the power your Stand gives you," Baziwood noted, "But I'll think you'll be surprised when you see the power my Stand has. One Jump Ahead!" Baziwood's normal armor was recolored in a brilliant blue hue. "One Jump Ahead let's me match the skills of my opponent," he explained, "Whether it be Stand power, martial arts, magical ability, probably even that Hamon George and Gyro are using."

He readied his sword. "Of course, it's not perfect. All the actual fighting comes down to me, and no one knows their skills better than themselves. So there's always the chance I could lose. But that's just the way I like it." Gazef laughed. "If that's how you feel, then let's make this a battle for the ages. Dawn of Battle!" The two warriors raced at each other and clashed swords. They weren't the only ones engaging. Leinas had frozen an entire battalion with the power of her own Stand, Mystic Eyes. Just then, she saw someone racing through the crowd on horseback.

It was Brain, not wanting to be left out of the confrontation. Leinas scoffed. "Mystic Eyes!" "Hybrid Theory!" Brain's various martial arts activated at once, the added boosts letting him resist Mystic Eyes and its paralyzing gaze. Leinas smirked. "I had thought you just another soldier. But there's something special about you. Almost makes me wish I didn't have a fiance." "That is a shame," Brain admitted, "A woman like you is definitely one in a million." He readied his sword. "I've already proven my improved sword skills can keep up with vampires. Now to test it against someone I have a chance at actually beating." Leinas smiled as she drew her sword. "Very well. I accept your challenge."

Ulbert heard the sound of hoof beats and turned to see George racing in on Slow Dancer. "It's time then. My Band!" George leapt off his horse as he made to counter the sudden attack. "Tusk Act 4!" Fist met fist, perfectly equal in strength. "You weren't kidding about your Stand's real power," George said, "But here's the thing about us Joestars. The more you try to beat us down, the stronger we become!" He proved his point as Tusk started to overpower My Band's punch, successfully overpowering it and nailing it right in the cheek.

"Don't let up!," George called out, "Let's follow through!" For a moment, Ulbert thought he was seeing things. Right behind George was the transparent images of a British nobleman from the 1800s, and a British soldier dressed like he was ready for World War I. 'He is George Joestar III. Could these be the first two George Joestars? Was he reincarnated from his own grandfather and great-great grandfather?' He knew all about the Joestar family history from DIO. But he had little time to contemplate this as George followed through on his attack. "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"

Ulbert fell unconscious as his body went flying. As he mentioned, George felt all the aggression that had been building up flow out of him, like steam wafting off a boiling pot. He noted that it was easier to maintain his Hamon breathing, making it stronger than ever. Looking toward the spawning pit for Offspring's creatures, he narrowed his eyes. "Gyro!" Gyro hurried over. "Did you beat him?" "Yeah," George said, "But I think it's time we deal with that. And we'll need to do it together." Seeing George's smile, Gyro smiled right back. "Good to have you back to normal."

George hopped back on Slow Dancer and he rode alongside his friend. As they neared the spawning pit, it suddenly grew into a more grotesque monster than the giant goats. It was a mass of mouths on four legs, large tentacles growing out of its top. "I wonder if Bellriver ever had counseling," George noted, "Because he can think up some disturbing nightmares." As they rode in, Hekkeran picked them up in his train. "Alright Foresight, let's wear this thing down. Ticket to Ride!" "Love Train!" "Peace Train!" "Crazy Train!" The monster found itself bombarded by explosions, flames, and axe strikes as all the weapons of the legendary train attacked it.

The front end opened up as George and Gyro shot out, charging their horses and Stands with Hamon. "Tusk Act 1!" "Ball Breaker!" They then called out as one, "Complete! Railgun Overdrive!" The giant beast was pierced through its center of mass with the two attacks, which provided enough force to hit its damage threshold, causing it to dissipate. Boullope looked on. "Those fools have allowed me to maintain my cover." His relief was short-lived, as at that moment one of the goat creatures came stampeding toward him. Unable to outrun it, he wound up calling out, "Midnight Train!"

Everyone looked shocked as the large demon train of rumor suddenly appeared from his location. He had been the only one still alive, leaving no doubt he was the Stand user. 'Damn... I spoke too soon. Now everyone knows...' He quickly rode away from the field before contacting Barbro. 'What happened?,' Barbro asked. "We got sloppy," Boullope said, "We've been exposed and we need to retreat. I'll head for your location to pick you up. We need to alter our plans." He sighed as he rushed off.

Things settled in gradually over the next few days. With the exposure of the now-named Unity Faction, the nations of Slane, Re-Estize, and Baharuth entered into an alliance. Barbro was seen joining Boullope, and was thus disinherited, with Zanac being made crown prince in his stead. "Both sides took some loses," he noted, "Though only among the soldiers. The three imperial knights, all of Momonga's and George's faction, Gazef, Brain, and Climb, have all survived. As have the nobility present on the battlefield."

"Looks like we're finally in the position we want," Renner noted, "We had all agreed that once you were made heir to the throne the three of us would work together to restore the kingdom to its former glory." Zanac nodded. "And I intend to keep to that." "That only leaves the matter of where Barbro fled to," Starlight noted, "We've confirmed several people suddenly leaving the three nations. Several that were intercepted were confirmed to be agents of the Unity Faction. They said they were trying to reach their leaders." "There's only one place they can go right now," Renner pointed out.

Aboard Midnight Train, Boullope looked at Barbro. "So, where shall we go Your Majesty?" "There's only one place we can go," Barbro noted, "If we count Zesshi from the Black Scripture as a sign that Slane has thrown in its lot with our enemies, then only one of the four main nations is still unaware of our actions. The Roble Holy Kingdom. Our agents have already incited a war there, so I think it's about time we participate." He looked down. "I will take the throne I rightly deserve, even if I have to turn usurper to do so. Mark my words, George Joestar III, this is not over..."

The idea behind Ulbert's vision when he's about to be attacked by George is to introduce the idea of reincarnation to the Jojo-verse. Basically George Joestar III is a reincarnation of George Joestar II, who in turn is a reincarnation of George Joestar I. The reason why I introduced this concept is because of something that happens later in the story. In other news, here's more new Stands.

One Jump Ahead (Song from Aladdin)
User: Baziwood Peshmel
Ability: One Jump Ahead imbues Baziwood with the abilities equal to whatever single opponent he is facing. This includes physical strength, magical ability, martial arts, talents, even Stands or Hamon. The one-to-one ratio isn't perfect, and the Stand is useless against groups. Additionally, all fighting prowess is down to Baziwood himself, so while it does give him a leg up on his enemies, it's not a sure win.

Mystic Eyes (Song by Them)
User: Leinas Rockbruise
Ability: Mystic Eyes takes the form of an artificial eye inserted into Leinas' right eye socket. To clarify, her Stand doesn't replace her eye, but rather is infused into it. When activated, Mystic Eyes spreads its power to both of Leinas' eyes, allowing her to paralyze anyone she sees. The afflicted will, at most, still have their respiratory and circulatory systems function, but all other bodily functions will cease until the effect wears off. Leinas has full control over who will be afflicted, preventing her from accidentally freezing an ally. Certain powers, especially other Stand abilities, can negate the effect.

Midnight Train (Don't Stop Believin' (Midnight Train), Song by Journey)
User: Marquis Boullope
Ability: A massive dark train, Midnight Train can create tracks to ride on nearly anywhere. Its interior is full of various concussive armaments, as well as a space for storing passengers or military-based constructs that can attack independently. It also has a series of two-way communicators that can be handed out to anyone, even non-Stand users. The exterior of the train is nearly impenetrable, but its weapons are a vital weak spot. However, one would need a Stand fast enough to keep up in order to damage it.
