Chapter 33: Sara's Mysterious Stand, Part 1

~6:45PM~

Jolanta and her friends have finally reached the checkpoint in the city of Radom.

"Here we are…" Rostek said. "After minutes of walking, we're here…"

Jolanta looked at the checkpoint, which was a house and a lake next to it.

"Doesn't look like a checkpoint to me for some reason." Jolanta said.

"Really? I thought it would look a little different like that." Kwiat said.

"Well it is a checkpoint that they set up here." Rostek said. "And we're gonna check to see what's new… And there's a house that we can rest in, which is also good."

When Jolanta and her friends walked a little closer to the house, they heard something falling over.

"Damn!" A Feminine voice shouted.

"Who was that?" Jolanta wonders.

"Everyone, stay back." Rostek said. "Just in case…"

Walking out of the house from the back was a lady in her late 20s or early 30s.

"..." The lady was silent.

"Uhh… Cześć?" Rostek said, greeting the lady.

"So… You five are here…"

"Yeah?"

The lady looks at the house.

"This house was once owned by my grandparents, until they passed away due to an illness…" She said, "A killing that defies the limitations of power handling through energy, but the limitations didn't go into place… Can any one of you know what I'm talking about?"

"Stands?" Marcelina guessed.

The lady smiled.

"Correct… They were one of the first few people in Poland to get shot by these Stand arrows, but there were no prayers whatsoever…" She said, "Once being shot by these arrows, they were gone in their late 60s… Their old bones couldn't have given them the strength to obtain a Stand, but that's how human life works, yes?"

"Can you tell us who you are?" Rostek asked.

"Yeah, you're making this freaky!" Kwiat shouted.

"Heh heh… I've been waiting for you five to show up to this checkpoint…" The lady said.

"Waiting for us?" Zegar wonders. "What are you talking about?"

"It looks like you five are already in a bad place…"

Aura starts to flow around the lady.

"Let me ask you all a question… Do you five know anything about an evil organization that's gonna take over Poland and hopefully Europe?" She asked them, "Because everything is all coming up perfectly…"

An arm then appeared to scrape away the space that surrounded the lady and The Surviving Peacemakers. The lady was then teleported above.

"Shit!" Jolanta shouted. "She's a Stand User!"

"Call me Sara!" Sara shouted. "Sara Krew, the leader of The Bad Blood Organization!"

Jolanta and her friends all avoided the attack Sara was gonna make when Sara hit the ground with a leg that appeared next to her.

"My Stand is more powerful than all of your's…" Sara said. "This may be a 5 on 1, but I got the advantage!"

Jolanta was shocked and serious.

"This girl is Sara?! I cannot believe this!" Jolanta shouted.

"Yeah, I'm not sure what her Stand did, but it scraped away some space for her to teleport above us!" Kwiat said next to Jolanta.

Sara looks at The Surviving Peacemakers around her.

"It seems that you five can't see what my Stand looks like…" Sara said. "Refer to my Stand as, The Wizard."

"The Wizard…" Zegar said to himself. "What made her named a Stand with such a powerful ability?"

Sara looks up.

"It seems that Ciema has given up on you five…" Sara said. "I guess I gotta do the work on my own before you would all proceed to Warsaw which is where our base is at…"

The Wizard's left arm appeared and was raised.

"You five won't get to know what else The Wizard can do…" Sara said. "Because I already needed The Wizard to hide its identity and have it use its power on all of you!"

The Wizard then scraped away the space that surrounded Jolanta. Jolanta was pushed forward.

"Shit!" Jolanta shouted as she tries to run away.

The Wizard then grabbed onto Jolanta's right left. There, Cherry Bomb appeared.

"Jolanta!" Kwiat shouted as Sound Garden. "Leave her alone!"

Sara was alerted when she saw Kwiat and Sound Garden approaching her.

"Hmph… Stubborn? I can tell from your face, dear Kwiat." Sara said.

The Wizard's right arm appeared and was raised.

"Wait! What is this?!" Marcelina shouted. "Can her Stand use both of its hands to scrape away space?!"

The Wizard then used its right hand to scrape away the space surrounding Kwiat. Kwiat was then teleported to Sara and was then punched in the gut by The Wizard's right hand.

"OOOOW!" Kwiat shouted as she was pushed away from the blow.

"The Wizard's identity will remain anonymous." Sara said. "Anyway, back to you, Jolanta Joswiak…"

Jolanta looked at Sara and gulped.

"So, your Stand, yes?" Sara said as she looked at Jolanta's Cherry Bomb. "It has a way with explosives… Powerful, but it's punching speed isn't nearly as fast as The Wizard… Shall we put your Stand to the test?"

Jolanta was nervous.

"Gówno… She's really gonna end my life here!" Jolanta shouted in her mind. "This is it, it's all over!"

The Wizard then let got of Jolanta and pushed her to the ground.

"Ow! What the?" Jolanta said.

"Get up, Jolanta Joswiak!" Sara shouted.

Jolanta got up.

"Now then..." Sara said as The Wizard's two arms appeared. "Try to survive this!"

Then, time was skipped for 5 seconds and Sara hit nothing with The Wizard's two arms.

"What the fuck?!" Sara shouted as she then saw Zegar with Jolanta. "That boy… There is something off about his powers…"

Zegar looks at Jolanta.

"You ok, Jolanta?" Zegar asked.

"I guess… Thanks." Jolanta replied.

"It's nothing…"

Zegar looks at Sara.

"Damn… She really wants us dead…" Zegar said. "But we have to stay away from her!"

Rostek walks over.

"Correct. If there is something off about her Stand, then we'll all get to the bottom of this." Rostek said.

Sara then walks towards her grandparents house.

"It seems that you five won't be able to defeat me…" Sara said as she opens the door.

"Hey! We can't let her get away!" Rostek shouted. "Backstreet Boy!"

Backstreet Boy appeared to try and attack, but Sara used The Wizard to sweep him away by erasing space. Rostek fell to the ground.

"Damn… Her Stand really is powerful…" Rostek said.

Sara then went inside the house.

"After her!" Zegar shouted as he went towards the door to try and open it, only for it to be locked. "What?! How did she lock it so fast?!"

"Hold on." Jolanta said as she got out Cherry Bomb to punch down the door. "MUDA!"

The door was down. The house was quiet. No sign of Sara in the living room.

"Strange…" Jolanta said. "She's not in the living room… She did go inside, yes?"

"Yes." Zegar replied.

"We'll have to find her and discover the secret of her Stand…" Rostek said.

"Are we really going in there?" Kwiat asked.

"We don't have a choice!" Jolanta shouted. "We can't let her cause more mayhem in Poland!

"Jolanta's right… Let's go inside." Rostek said.

Kwiat sighed as the others went inside.

"Got a little carried away…" Kwiat said. "Haven't been like this in years…"
