Chapter 30: The Fungus Aroma, Part 2
Moe and Naomi saw some flowers in their direction.
"Look at those flowers." Moe said as she smelled them. "Smells nice, but not for long once I give away their scent… Their aroma… I'll use the aroma to make it worse to smell…"
"How are you gonna do that?" Naomi wonders.
"Just watch! And learn!"
Something then appeared next to Moe, which was her Stand.
"Aloe Black!" Moe shouted. "Manipulate the aroma of these flowers!"
Aloe Black then drains the aroma of the flowers and controls them.
"That's your Stand? Wow, you never told me about that." Naomi said.
"This was a surprise." Moe said.
"Yeah, I guess you can call it a surprise."
"Anyways, now that Aloe Black has the aroma from those flowers, it will turn it into an aroma with a bad odor!"
Moe then sees Jordin and his friends walking by.
"And I know where to start!" Moe said as she pointed her Stand to the path Jordin was in. "Go Aloe Black! Unleash the odor on that specific path!"
In that specific path, Jordin and his friends were looking around.
"This is already boring me." Daichi said.
"You can leave if you want." Hatsuki said.
Daichi then sighed.
"Sorry guys… I'm gonna get going then." Daichi said as he then sniffed something. "Hey guys? What's that smell?"
The odor aroma then passed by Jordin and his friends quickly.
"Urgh! What's that smell?!" Hatsuki shouted as she covered her nose and mouth.
"Damn! Is there a skunk here?!" Jordin shouted. "Daichi! How about we check out where that smell came from?"
"I suppose so!" Daichi said.
Jordin and Daichi then followed the aroma to Moe and her Stand, Aloe Black.
"Shit! They found us!" Naomi shouted.
Hatsuki slowly walks behind Jordin and Daichi.
"Naomi?! And who's that girl?" Hatsuki said.
"Aren't you Moe or something?" Jordin asked Moe. "You looked different."
"That's because I've changed back to my older self." Moe replied. "That shy girl version of mine was all an act!"
"So you're just a normal girl now?" Hatsuki asked.
"Correct. AND I also have what you three have as well: A Stand!"
Hatsuki then looks at Naomi.
"Then do YOU have a Stand as well?" Hatsuki said.
"Ain't telling you that yet!" Naomi replied. "You gotta slow down on the future, Hatsuki."
"Uhhh… What?"
"Enough!" Moe shouted. "Let the aroma bear with you!"
"Hate to break it to you, but your aroma is gone all of a sudden." Naomi said.
Moe then sees her aroma being made by Aloe Black being faded away.
"Phooey!" Moe shouted. "Aloe Black's aroma is gone!"
"Well! Looks like it's good for us to attack then!" Hatsuki said as her Grenade Jumpers then emerged. "Fire!"
Grenade Jumpers then fired their bullets at Moe and Naomi. Moe got hit once and Naomi dodged the other two as they hit the ground.
"Urgh! Aloe Black!" Moe shouted.
Aloe Black then used the trees to harness more aroma to use as an odor and have the odor fly by Jordin and his friends.
"Ack! It smells!" Daichi shouted.
"Urgh!" Jordin shouted as he covered his nose and mouse. "So this is what her Stand does? It can use any plants with a smell to use it as an odor against us?"
Moe and Naomi then ran away.
"They're getting away!" Daichi shouted as he then started to choke from the odor. "Fuck! Ugh!"
In another side of the small forest, Moe and Naomi were out of breath.
"God… That's a lot of running…" Naomi said as she then turned to Moe as she was wounded. "Looks like Hatsuki got you real bad."
"Don't worry…" Moe said. "I can heal myself back up."
Aloe Black then emerges to create more aroma from the trees.
"What are you doing with Aloe Black this time?" Naomi wonders.
"Just making an aroma that can heal others." Moe replied. "Just watch."
Aloe Black then made the aroma with a clear and nice smell and started going near Moe, healing her backup and healing her wounds away. Naomi took a sniff.
"Wow… Smells nice." Naomi said.
"Heh heh… Yeah." Moe said as she got up. "That's another neat little trick that my Aloe Black can do."
"Ok… So what are we gonna do now?"
"Now, in the center of here, there's fungus growing on one of the trees."
Naomi raised an eyebrow.
"Fungus you say?" She asked.
"Yep! When those 3 approach us while we're near the fungus, then there will be a special effect from Aloe Black's aroma making." Moe replied.
"Really? Then I might as well help out then."
"Oh! You have a Stand that's about fungus making, right?"
"Well… I'll tell you when Jordin and his pals show up to that area we are in."
Both nodded in agreement. Naomi then followed Moe in the forest to wherever the fungus are.

In Jordin's area, the aroma started to fade away.
"It's fading away finally!" Jordin said.
"Where did those girls go?" Daichi said. "They are about to get it!"
"Let's just search around to see where they are at." Hatsuki said. "They have to be somewhere in this forest."
