Chapter 22: Stressed Out, Part 2

Rostek was moving around. He didn't know where to go.

"Your little friend is affected by a parasite I have made…" Blurry Face said.

"A parasite?!" Jolanta shouted.

"Parasite?! Fuck it! Get that parasite out of him!" Kwiat shouted as she started to get out Sound Garden to rush over to Rostek. "Sound Garden!"

Blurry Face then blocked Sound Garden's attack with one of its handless arms.

"I wasn't gonna focus on Rostek." Kwiat said. "I tricked you, dummy!"

"No, you're the dummy for even approaching me!" Blurry Face shouted.

Blurry Face then used one of its other handless arms to inject another parasite into Kwiat's back. She felt to the ground.

"AAAAH!" Kwiat shouted. "Get it out of me!"

Then, Kwiat's face started to glitch up.

"Don't make eye contact with me you two!" Blurry Face shouted. "Or else I'll inject you with a parasite!"

"Shit… This is gonna be hard…" Zegar said to Jolanta. "We can't go near her… And we can't look at her…"

"How is this gonna be possible?!" Jolanta shouted.

"Hey you two!" Blurry Face shouted. "Better think fast! Once the parasites go into these two's brains, they'll chew it to bits, killing them instantly!"

Jolanta and Zegar were starting to get frustrated.

"This thing is mocking us over death?!" Zegar shouted.

"H-Hey, Zegar… Calm down, please…" Jolanta said.

Zegar looks down at his fists.

"There's no way in hell I'm gonna let the User of this Stand get away with this! Whoever he or she is, then one of us is gonna give her hell!" Zegar shouted as he then clenched his fists.

"Zegar?" Jolanta asked.

"What?"

"C-Calm down… We'll think of something."

"Think of something… Ah, I know! Wait here!"

Time After Time then appeared.

"I'm going after that Stand!" Zegar shouted. "Without the need of looking at it with eye contact!"

Zegar then started to run towards Blurry Face while looking away.

"Zegar!" Jolanta shouted. "Shit… This is a bad idea…"

While this was happening, a girl was watching the fight.

"Heh heh heh… Marcelina's friends are hopeless without her!" She said, "My Blurry Face will be unstoppable! And for that silver haired girl… She's gonna get it as the boss told us to do…"

Time After Time then skips time for 5 seconds to appear behind Blurry Face without making eye contact.

"Huh?" Blurry Face wonders as the Stand turns around to see Zegar, but Zegar quickly looks away. "Clever one, eh?"

"I'll be clever once I take you down!" Zegar shouted. "Now, Time After Time!"

Time After Time then performed its rush attack on Blurry Face, but Blurry Face then grabbed Time After Time's arms with its arms.

"Got you!" Blurry Face shouted as it then noticed something was wrong. "Wait!"

Time After Time and Zegar then faded into existence.

"Looks like I have given you front row seats to one of my Stand's other abilities." Zegar said as Blurry Face turned around to see Zegar facing Jolanta and Time After Time facing Blurry Face. "During the skipping of these 5 seconds, I can make holograms of myself and my Stand that will share the same strength as our real forms. Now who's the clever one, Blurry Face?"

"Tch… Not bad…" Blurry Face said. "You're something else for one of Marcelina's friends…"

"Hey! Speaking of Marcelina, tell us where she is."

Jolanta was confused. Was Zegar talking to her or Blurry Face.

"This is getting ridiculous." Jolanta said.

Blurry Face then slowly approached Zegar and Time After Time.

"Sorry, but it's a no!" Blurry Face said. "I don't have time for your tomfoolery, and you're pretty much tired of mine."

Zegar takes a deep breath.

"Then so be it." Zegar said as he then closed eyes to approach Blurry Face. "Screw your tomfoolery!"

Time After Time then attacks Blurry Face, but Blurry Face grabs Time After Time's attacking arm.

"Shit!" Zegar shouted as he then looks at Blurry Face. "Oh fuck!"

Zegar tried to look away, but Blurry Face uses its arms to inject another parasite into Zegar's back.

"AAAH!" Zegar shouted as he fell to the ground.. "IT GOT ME!"

Blurry Face then walks over Zegar as Zegar's face started to glitch up. It approached Jolanta.

"You and me, Jolanta…" Blurry Face said.

Jolanta closed her eyes to not make eye contact with Blurry Face.

"This is just great…" Jolanta said. "I'm screwed…"

Jolanta then braced herself as Cherry Bomb appeared.

"Attack Cherry Bomb!" Jolanta shouted as Cherry Bomb then performed a rush attack on Blurry Face while shouting, "MUDA!"

Blurry Face then grabbed both of Cherry Bomb's arms, but Jolanta kept her eye contact away from Blurry Face.

"Come on!" Blurry Face said. "I want to see your eyes! I want to see your beautiful Joestar eyes on your Brando face!"

Then, Blurry Face fell to the ground.

"Aaah! What just happened?!" Blurry Face shouted. "WHO MADE ME FELL?!"

Jolanta and Cherry Bomb were free as they walked away from Blurry Face.

"Shit…" Jolanta said as someone caught her hand. "Huh?"

Jolanta looks at another lady.

"Don't worry." She said to Jolanta. "We're taking this Stand down together."

"Wait, aren't you… Marcelina?" Jolanta asked.

Marcelina smiled.

"You bet." Marcelina replied.
