Chapter 26: Video Killer, Part 1

In the room Katsuma and Ashley were locked in, they heard the radio announcer cutting off.

"Shit, he's gonna go after them!" Katsuma shouted.

"Ugh!" Ashley shouted. "We still can't move!"

Then, they heard someone knocking on a window, who was Iz.

"(Gasped) Iz!" Ashley shouted. "She's outside the window! Break it open!"

Iz then brings out Over The Rainbow to destroy the window.

"Is this room safe?" Iz asked.

"It might be." Katsuma replied. "Hurry up and destroy this laser, so that you can untie us!"

Iz then entered the room to use Over The Rainbow to destroy the laser. She then untied Katsuma and Ashley.

"Miss Grain, I wasn't expecting you and your husband to be here." Iz said. "Where's your son Troy at?'

"He's approaching the laboratory to save us, but since you're here, someone is still gonna try and attack our son." Ashley replied. "Where's your friends at?"

"Kaihekoa is searching for Jocelyn while Burnie is outside in an alleyway next to another building close to this laboratory, waiting for me. Come on, let's get out of here!" Iz shouted.

They all escaped to meet up with Burnie.

"I got Miss Grain and her husband here." Iz said.

"Good." Burnie said. "Now then, let's go and find Jocelyn and her friends and discuss the plan to end Mr. Rhadaman's chaos. To Hurston Avenue!"

Meanwhile in Hurston Avenue, Jocelyn was looking around, expecting for someone else to show up.

"Hmm… This place is quieter than I thought." Jocelyn said. "I am pretty sure we'll be going to that laboratory real easily."

"I suppose so." Troy said.

"But where is the lab from here?" Clayton wonders.

"Uhhh… We'll find out, eventually." Jocelyn replied. "For now, let's search Uncle Katsuma and Aunt Ashley."

While walking, Troy heard radio static.

"Is that a radio?" Troy wonders.

Troy looks at Jocelyn and Clayton.

"Hey guys!" Troy hollered. "I see a radio attached to a wall!"

Jocelyn and Clayton then walk back to Troy.

"(Looks at the radio) This is weird." Jocelyn said. "It's all static…"

Clayton was silent.

"I think we should back away." Clayton said. "That radio might be-"

All of a sudden, an arm appeared out of the wall and grabbed Troy by the neck.

"Agh!" Troy shouted as he started to choke.

"TROY!" Jocelyn shouted as she got out her Stand, Thunder to punch the radio.

The radio then went back inside the wall with the arm as soon as Jocelyn's Thunder attacked it. Troy was breathing for fresh air.

"UGH!" Troy shouted. "Finally! I can breathe again!"

"I was right." Clayton said.

"Right about what?" Jocelyn wonders.

"That radio is an enemy Stand."

Jocelyn was surprised.

"Then, Where's the User at?" Jocelyn wonders.

"If the User is far away from his or her Stand, then that radio might be a Long-Ranged Stand." Clayton said. "The User will be at a certain spot and then he'll activate his Stand to come hunt us down here."

"Looks like we'll all have to be careful then." Troy said.

Meanwhile in the back of the Angels Of Science laboratory, a man with a red suit was using his phone as a radar.

"Ho ho! My Stand has locked its target on Jocelyn and her friends!" He shouted. "Time for my Stand to communicate to them when he gets a clear position!"

Back to Jocelyn and her friends, they are looking after each other's backs for that Stand.

"Who knows what that Stand will do next." Clayton says.

"Any move it takes, then we'll strike back!" Troy shouted.

"It's gonna appear any second now!" Jocelyn shouted.

Then, the Stand shows its upper-body behind Clayton out of the brick wall.

"Clayton! It's behind you!" Jocelyn shouted.

Clayton then turned around to see the Stand. The Stand then punched Clayton in the face.

"Clayton" Jocelyn shouted. "Thunder! Take it down!"

Thunder then appeared to electrify the Stand, but the Stand went back inside the wall, only to have Thunder use its electrical powers on the wall.

"Damn it! It went away!" Jocelyn said. "My Stand's electricity has no effect on these walls."

"(Gets up) Urgh… It's fast, but not as fast as our Stands." Clayton said. "This Stand we're dealing with is gonna be tough…"

"(Hears radio static) Shhh!" Jocelyn shouted. "Listen! I hear radio static! It's coming to our North!"

Jocelyn and her friends then see weird colorful cubes coming out of the other side of the wall. The colorful cubes then fully show the Stand that Jocelyn and her friends are fighting against.

"How do you do?" The Stand asked.
