The next major boss is here. This should be interesting. Disclaimer: I don't own Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or Overlord.
Spirit Tracks Chapter 34: The Mining Master
The group found the magic well in the temple deep inside a pool of magma. "I think we've reached the heart of the volcano," George said, "It's not as hot as I would have expected. Normally our bodies would be boiling due to convection." "Even with the magic well sealed," Starlight said, "Enough energy is seeping through to keep the heat at bay. Otherwise it would be impossible or even unnecessary to station anyone here to keep the well sealed. Barbro could simply keep his guardian under heavy guard where no one could threaten their lives."
"A real shame that," came a gruff voice. From a nearby cave an elderly dwarf appeared. "It's as if the mountain doesn't realize it's been beaten." "You're the guardian then?," Gyro asked. "My name is Cragma," the dwarf replied, "I was part of the mining corps in my home kingdom. But I was banished for the treasonous act of leading an expedition to mine the precious minerals of this mountain. We dwarves should not let something like sanctity get in the way of our progress. But the chieftain said demi-humans are getting enough flak with the elves making war on Slane, or the ongoing conflict between the bafolk and Roble."
Holly then realized something. "The tracks throughout the temple. They're your doing, aren't they?" "Indeed Missy," Cragma replied, "This is the power offered by my Stand. Deep Tracks!" Various mine tracks and carts appeared as if from nowhere, twisting around the chamber. The group braced themselves as the tracks approached, but they swerved out of the way long before they would have impacted. "No need to worry about the tracks damaging you," Cragma assured them, "They can't impact anything that's not made from things like stone or iron. Deep Tracks is primarily a mining Stand, you see."
The tracks plunged into the sides of the chamber, the carts coming out with piles of are. "Of course, once it collects sufficient ore," Cragma said ominously, "That's when it can be used to attack." He raised his hands, and the ore from the carts collected to create a rock giant floating in the magma. He leapt onto one of the mine carts to ride it up the golem's head as it tried to punch the group. "Chumbawamba!" Holly summoned her vines and managed to tangle the golem's arm, preventing its attack from nailing the group. "Dove and Grenade!" Starlight caused wood to sprout from the golem's arm, causing it to come apart. She smirked. "Wood parts earth."
The group then noticed the arm was floating, even without Holly's vines. "The ore didn't hit the ground yet," Cragma noted, "It's still under my Stand's control." He motioned with his arms, and the arm started to reattach, only to get slammed by several arrows. Cragma looked in the direction they came from to see Imina with her bow drawn. "We can't bring our Stands underground," she noted, "But our normal skills can still help. Those arrows are designed to inflict blunt damage instead of piercing damage, perfect for dealing with rock creatures."
Cragma then heard an electric sound, and noticed George and Gyro using their Hamon to slide along the tracks. Grunting, he motioned to have the tracks veer off, but the duo kept leaping from track to track. "Change the course however you want!," Gyro said, "But we can feel when that happens thanks to the life force imbued within your Stand!" "Attack them!," Cragma called out to his golem. The golem reached to grab the duo, but George was ready for it. "Tusk Act 1!" A few quick shots pierced through the golem's hand, causing it to recoil.
Cragma wound up flying off the golem's head, but luckily he fell onto one of his own mine carts. Unfortunately, he found himself heading right for George. Cragma went for his battle axe, determined to keep fighting one way or another. "I've been entrusted to guard this well in exchange for being allowed to the mine the mountain to my heart's content. I won't give up my claim." "A nice sentiment," George said, "But sacred mountain or not, too much mining could cause the magma to erupt from the volcano and destroy Roble."
He used his Hamon to block a strike from the battle axe. "This is the end, Cragma! Tusk Act 4!" "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" Cragma was beaten down and flew off the mine cart, ultimately landing right in the magma. The group averted their eyes, grateful the dwarf was too damaged from the assault to scream in pain. The two friends leapt down to the safety of the bedrock with the others as the tracks started to disappear. "Killing's never pretty," Gyro said, "But sometimes it can be uglier than normal." "I'm glad it's not the sort of thing we get used to," George noted, "No matter how many times it becomes necessary."
Ulbert and Demiurge spotted the energy that signaled the release of the magic well in the Mountain Temple. "That neutralizes the Stand users stationed in the temple," Demiurge noted, "Paving the way for you and the other masters to take their place, and legitimately rescue the Holy Kingdom." "Indeed," Ulbert said, "And the key to getting our foot in the door lies in my Stand." Demiurge looked to the bafolk camp and narrowed his eyes beneath his glasses. "I feel the presence of one of my race. Not very powerful, but certainly charismatic. No doubt the Unity Faction's agent who convinced the bafolk to start this war."
"Then either he or his immediate subordinate will be our target," Ulbert noted, "Once we've sequestered ourselves within the Holy Kingdom, we can begin our plans to have our friends be called upon to rescue the kingdom. But first we must gain their trust. An easy enough task, as anyone both prejudiced against Stand users and smart enough to move against them has already been killed by now. The only member of the kingdom still having such prejudice is too stupid to do anything but blunt regarding her feelings." The duo continued walking, ready for the next stage of their plan.
Here's the deal with the new Stand.
Deep Tracks (Sirius XM Radio Channel 27)
User: Cragma
Ability: Deep Tracks can create mining tracks throughout the environment Cragma is in. The tracks will actively swerve to avoid solid objects in their way, unless said object is made from pure earthen materials, such as stone, iron, concrete, and similar. The tracks are equipped with mine carts that can collect any valuable ore from these materials, which Cragma can then manipulate at will. If the ore should hit the ground, he will lose control of it, but so long as it remains in the air he can control it at will.
Power: C
Speed: A
Range: A
Durability: B
Precision: B
Potential: D
Yep, another Stand based on a radio station of all things. Read and review.
