Josuke took a short rest to take stock of the area. Calling it chaos would be an understatement.
Upturned cars covering the paved road. Piles of earth mixed together with fragmented glass to create a glinting brown sheet over the road. Gorgeous white buildings now lay in piles of rubble on top of other piles of rubble. Wires hung from long poles like scorched snakes. To his right stretched a long, deep drainage ditch running to the pier some ways away.
Josuke turned his attention to the pile of dead. If Aldo fell from the plane, does that mean another person could have fallen from the plane? He inched closer to examine the bodies for any signs of survival.
Crazy Diamond repaired them too to make them more recognizable. He was caught off guard by a sharp inhale.
Someone was alive! It was a neatly groomed man looking around in a panic. His arms were still clinging to his seatbelt. Josuke looked around to see the cabin he must have been sitting in.
"Mister…" the groomed man asked timidly.
Fourteen! It was Okuyasu's!
"Um, mister…" He tried again.
Josuke began to panic. Was Okuyasu around here somewhere! He stood up and looked around for his friend.
He had to be around here somewhere!
"Mister!" the man practically shouted.
"What!" Josuke shouted.
"Do you have any bandages? I've got an open wound."
Josuke looked at him confused. "An open wound? Are you sure?"
The man held up his hand to reveal a large hole in his hand. It should have healed, why didn't it heal? Josuke thought to himself.
It all clicked as the man began to glow.
'If he was pierced who else could have been!' Josuke panicked.
"Ahh!" The man let out a brief shout.
"What is that?" He pointed behind Josuke.
Josuke turned to meet a stand walking towards them. It seemed to give off a dim light. The whole being was covered in red and white stripes. The stand had cuffed collars, a top hat so large it bent over behind it, two short capes hanging between both arms, and a hole where the heart should have been.
It spread its arms out and walked towards them.
"Stand back!" Josuke shouted as Crazy Diamond emerged from him.
"Ahh!" The man let out another brief shout as the stand made to punch the enemy.
"DORA!" Crazy Diamond punched the survivor in the face.
"Aughh!" The man cried out in pain gripping his face.
"It's another one!" he cried panicking.
Josuke began to panic. His stand shouldn't have done that, what was going on?
The flashy stand slowly continued to approach them.
"Crazy Diamond!" He tried again.
His stand made a move to kick the enemy stand before planting a foot into the survivor's face.
"Owww!" The survivor let out another scream of pain. The man turned to Josuke.
"We need to get out of here!"
Crazy Diamond diamond disappeared at Josuke's command.
He froze for a moment holding up his arms as the enemy stand walked straight past him.
He now knew it wasn't coming for him, but it continued to make its way towards the survivor. He couldn't use Crazy Diamond to attack it, and no other objects could touch it, so what could he do?
Josuke leaned down and picked up a rock off the ground. He tossed the stone lightly behind him.
The stone flew from his hand to the ground in front of him, the direction of the survivor. He was beginning to figure this out.
The stand was only moments away from the survivor now.
"Please Help!" The man's desperation was clear from his voice.
"No." Said Josuke.
"You'll be fine."
"What" the man whispered softly as the stand approached him.
The man had a wound indicating he had been pierced by the arrow, he was able to see Crazy Diamond and the other stand. So he was a stand user. That meant the stand directed other stands attacks to the user.
If used properly his ability could be terrifying. It might even give them an edge over the crazy woman who had forced them to leave Morioh.
Just as he predicted the stand stopped in front of him saying nothing.
Josuke leaned back against the wall and cast a look over to the man from the plane and the arrow in his hands. He had devoted his dying breath to stopping someone else from being pierced by it without ever really knowing what it was.
He must have attacked them on the plane because he assumed they were trying to get it from them, but he still felt like he was missing something here.
Josuke turned to the quivering survivor he had rescued.
"He was lucky that the survivor spoke Japanese or this would be a lot more difficult.
"What's your name?"
"Horitsu." He never broke eye contact with the stand.
"That thing there is you. It's called a stand. They have quite a few uses although yours seems to redirect all attacks towards you. If you use it right you could be a pretty scary opponent."
"A stand?"
"That's right, although its exact name is something you should already know."
The man shared a deep look into his stand's spiraling face before finally speaking.
"When Will You Die? That's my stand's name."
"You should be able to control it with your mind."
The man closed his eyes tight and made a silly face, but the stand did not move.
"I'm sure you'll get the hang of it." Said Josuke dismissively.
'Buzzzz' Josuke's phone buzzed.
He plucked the mess of broken glass and exposed wires out of his pockets with two fingers.
He repaired it with Crazy Diamond and answered it.
"H…"
"It's Jolyne. We need to meet up somewhere."
"I'll meet you at the pier."
"Are you sure? We could probably meet at a closer landmark."
"I have something I need to take care of. I, Okuyasu, and a new guy will meet you there."
"Got it." She hung up.
Josuke shoved the phone back in his pocket and turned to begin moving.
"Who is…" Horitsu barely began to articulate his thoughts before another plane flew overhead interrupting him.
Then a massive object drew over them casting a dragonic shape onto the people below. As the shadow crept across the infertile soil below arms began to rise from the ground.
First a few, then dozens, then hundreds. More and more broke the earth beneath the town shaking its foundations. They gasped desperately for their first breaths free of sulfur in untold years.
Before he had time to comprehend what was happening the corpses before him drew new life. Survivors of the plane crash rose from their brief respite. But most notably a man grasping an arrow with a fist unbroken by even death itself awakened.
As the wave of shadow spread over the town, something more than human rose out of the gravel and waves.
Aldo stood up, coughing out the blood stuck in his throat. He raised his eyes to meet Josuke. His eyes slowly shifted around to notice all the bodies standing up from the plane crash.
"It seems my work up here isn't done yet?" He mumbled tiredly.
