Spirit Tracks Chapter 47: Lewis Votten, the Australian Miner

"One of Old Man Speedwagon's most successful mining ventures was headed by the Votten family out in Coober Pedy," Jotaro said, "And in recent years, the current generation has produced a very powerful Stand user. Lewis Votten is next in line to run the company, and with his Stand he can easily bring Votten Coal to new heights." "How so?," Starlight asked. "It lets him track down valuable resources hidden deep in the earth," Jotaro explained, "Coal, gold, oil, diamonds, you name it. And once he's found it, his Stand can produce powerful controlled explosions to blast through the bedrock."

"Sounds dangerous," George noted, "Especially since his Stand is also a physical fighter. One punch from him could cause serious damage. And with that spore infecting him he's not likely to hold back. We'll need to use extra caution in dealing with him. Speaking of which, the allied forces are closing in on Yaldabaoth. All indication are he's down to his last escape spell. But there's also the issue of his right-hand man, Boreas." "And once we deal with them," Starlight said, "We'll be one step closer to ending this long struggle..."

The twin spiral mountains not far from the Holy Capital was the next staging area for the conflict. Yaldabaoth double-checked his spells. "Damn it... My uses of the escape spell are near depleted. If I ever run out..." "Then perhaps our next move should we lose here is to retreat to the tear," Boreas suggested. Yaldabaoth nodded. "Yes, that seems wise. For now go and take the northern mountain. I will remain here at the main camp on the southern mountain." Boreas bowed and took his unit to attack. Meanwhile as the mountains' base, the alliance forces were pushing toward the northern mountain.

"Momonga's team is holding strong in the north," Gazef noted, "Our first move will be to provide reinforcements. Scouts inform us that Boreas is already moving to take the mountain. Enri!" "On it!," Enri said as she rode onto the battlefield, "Go! Seven Nation Army!" Blowing on the horn that was her Stand's form, her goblin army appeared and proceeded to batter the beastman forces along the northern route. "Yaldabaoth and Boreas are still using their puppeteering magic," Nfirea noted, "But now that I've had a chance to observe it, my Stand can negate it! Majin Gattai!"

On the northern mountain, Boreas faltered as he felt his magic start to fade. "What was that?" "Seems Nfirea cut your puppets' strings," Momonga noted, "I knew his magic was tenth-tier with the power of his Stand, but it seems even then I was underestimating him. He might just be capable of anything magic related." He and Boreas clashed blades, only for Boreas to get blindsided by a large cannon constructed by Amanomahitotsu and Sabaton. Momonga took the chance to press his attack. "Undead! Vacuum Blade!" Boreas blocked the oncoming air strike, getting pushed back before finally deflecting the shot.

He was about to make a counter-strike when a stronger magical wave caught him off-guard. Boreas turned to see Nfirea inside the camp. "Damn," Boreas muttered, "I'm getting far too outmatched. I need to regroup." He quickly leapt into the air and right off the mountain. "He's still down there somewhere," Nfirea realized, "There's an abandoned settlement not far from here. He likely went there to catch his breath." "He may catch his breath," Momonga admitted, "But he'll find no aid. Our forces are still moving to take the center of the staging area. Once all three paths to the southern mountain are cut off, we make our move."

Meanwhile Boreas had managed to reach the settlement to the east of the mountains. He took a few deep breaths, but then winced as he felt an axe blade slice right though his back. "Damn it, what now!?" He turned around to see a woman in armor, her horns marking her as a succubus. It was Albedo. "I normally keep to the depths of the Tomb of Nazarick unless my lord bids me otherwise," she noted, "So I can't tell you how excited I was when he said he wanted me to head up part of this battle. I'm always eager for a chance to show my strength to him."

Despite how large and heavy her axe was, she swung it around as if it was as light as thread. This was bad news for Boreas, as even when he didn't catch the blade he found himself hit hard by the flat of the axe-head. He managed to push Albedo back with a dark wave to get some space, only to catch several arrows from the goblin army as it moved into the settlement. "D-Damn it... If I die... Who will protect Master Yaldabaoth...?" "I guess the answer to that," Albedo said as she raised her axe ominously, "Would be no one."

Yaldabaoth gasped as he felt the life force of Boreas fade quickly. 'Damn... They got to him.' He then noticed multiple armies making their way up the spiral path of the southern mountain. He checked his spell. "Only one escape left. And I'm losing forces. I'll contact Barbro for one last unit as I try to make my escape." He then noticed Gazef, Baziwood, and Touch Me approach him. "Only one escape left for you, Yaldabaoth," Gazef noted, "Will you continue to play the coward? Or will you stand and fight for once?" Yaldabaoth was silent for a time, then started to laugh.

"To be honest," he said, "You aren't the only ones using these skirmishes for a distraction. While Joestar and his friends search for those we enthralled, Barbro has been studying the tear between our worlds. He is almost finished, but needs just a little more time. I'm no coward, and I'd gladly give my life to protect him. But now is not the time for that. So I'll use my final escape. And then we will have one. Last. Battle." He cackled as he disappeared using the spell, leaving the warriors stunned at his revelation. "Damn...," Baziwood noted, "We need to get word to George."

Gyro was busy using his Stand to cut through the forest. Right behind him explosions were going off. Lewis was causing blast after blast chasing down the group. It seemed he had learned how to use his explosions to increase his mobility. He finally moved in for a major attack. "Dynamite Rave!" Dynamite Rave looked like a metallic humanoid with silver skin, the dynamite strapped to its wrists and ankles being the same color, giving off the impression of revolver barrels. It moved to attack at Lewis' command, but unfortunately for him the one he attacked was Gagaran. "Indestructible!"

Lewis grimaced when he saw Gagaran unharmed from the attack. "Sorry," she said, "But plenty of spells can emulate dynamite. My Stand's helped me weather explosions before." She slammed her hammer right into Lewis, who was able to defend himself by blocking with Dynamite Rave, but the impact still knocked him off balance. "Surprised?," Gagaran asked, "My gear's enchanted. I can even damage Stands with thanks to the power of magic." Lewis then found himself tackled from behind. Tina had used her Stand to fuse with Tia, becoming Tiana. She had then taken advantage of Gagaran's distraction to pin down Lewis.

"Good job," Jotaro said, "Hold him there for a second." Jotaro used his time stop to quickly pull out the spore, leaving Lewis groaning once time resumed. "You alright?," George asked. "Feeling a mite crook," Lewis muttered, "Like I had one too many coldies and wound up legless." He saw several of the group looking confused or concerned. "Ah, allow me to translate," George said, "He's using his native Australian slang. Crook refers to feeling ill. A coldie is another word for beer. And legless refers to getting really drunk." "Oh!," the group said as one.

Lewis looked at George, impressed. "My dad's British," George explained, "I learned both British and Australian slang growing up." "Good on ya," Lewis said as he got up, "And thanks for pulling the... Whatever that ugly thing was off of me. I feel a right drongo for winding up like this, I gotta say. And here I was expected to be the team leader since we never got the chance to join up with Jolyne." "Speaking of the team," Jotaro said, "We've been asking the others what they know about Barbro's Stand." "I saw a bit of it," Lewis noted, "At first the people he copied looked normal. But after a bit they started to gray out, like a photo that's gotten old over time."

"Well, we now know a bit about what his Stand can do," Gyro said, "But we still don't know it nature. And until we have that, we can't find a possible weakness." "And there's one last hostage to deal with," Holly said. "Well you'd better hurry up on that one," Lewis said, "Barbro said he had plans to use the last member, Kuwa Taiki, as a hostage to prevent his enemies from continuing to pursue Yaldabaoth." "Then we've got no time to lose," George said, "Hekkeran, we need your train at full speed." Hekkeran nodded. "I'll open her up wide!" The group hurried off to find the last team member before Barbro could have her killed.

Since I've named her here, Kuwa's name directly translates to "Mulberry Atmosphere", both names being separate clothing lines. And now, a look at Lewis' Stand.

Dynamite Rave (Song by NAOKI)
User: Lewis Votten
Ability: Dynamite Rave can project a seismic sense that can pinpoint both valuable minerals and oil within the earth. Once targeted, Lewis can use his Stand to create explosions to break through the earth to reach what he is sensing. He is in full control of the explosion, meaning it will only effect what he is targeting, though the explosion itself is very visible. The blast wave can also be manipulated to exceed the explosion for a variety of effects, such as knocking aside enemies or launching himself into the air. Lewis is also blast-proof thanks to his Stand, meaning no explosives can damage him, not even his own.
