Chapter 8: It Awakens part 5

"Hey!" Exclaimed Dre, "who the fuck are you!? Get the hell out of my house!" Joshua closed the door behind him and locked it, "I heard you had an open house, so I decided to come," he said leaning against a wall, crossing his arms. "I'm giving you one more chance buddy," Dre warned, "get out, or we're gonna have fucking problems!" Jolyne starred at Joshua, how did he find out where she was? "Just leave Josh," she said, "you don't have any reason to be here." "Oh, but I do," Joshua replied, "you two shouldn't trust this person." Joshua moved off the wall and pointed and Dre, "this man has planned to kill you and Bronny James!"

Dre laughed at this accusation, "kill them? The hell are you talkin about, Bronny's my boy," he said. Joshua raised an eyebrow and moved towards Dre, "it amuses me how someone can lie through their teeth so blatantly," he said, "but tell me this, if you do not want to kill them, explain this!" Joshua suddenly opened a closet door, two bodies covered in blood fell out and to the floor. "W-What the fuck!" Bronny yelled, standing from the couch, Dre looked at the bodies, a cold expression forming on his face. "Your parents weren't gone on a vacation, they were dead, murdered by you!" Joshua yelled, "and you wish to do the same to those two!" "Oh my god…" Jolyne muttered, she hid behind Bronny, who was similarly shaken by this situation, "Dre, this, this can't be real," Bronny said, "this has to be a joke, right? You, you couldn't…" Dre stood still, a sly smile beginning to form on his face. "You must be one smart guy," he said, looking at Joshua, "it's a shame, that your intelligence, will kill you!"

The ground beneath Joshua began to shift, he quickly looked down, only to see the wooden floor bubble and launch up, attempting to strike him. A blue aura formed around Joshua as he leaped into the air, two black arms grabbing onto the second-floor balcony of the house. "Holy shit," Bronny muttered, Dre quickly turned to the two of them, a murderous look in his eyes. "Dre, y-you don't need to do this," he pleaded, "this isn't like you." "You don't fuck shit about me James," Dre spat, "you will get what you deserve, die!" The couch they had previously sat on suddenly flew into the air; they were launched at the two. "Jolyne!" Joshua yelled, "you need to use your Stand to defend yourself! Bring out your Stone Free!" Jolyne looked at Joshua in surprise, "y-you know my Stands…" "What's he talking about?" Bronny asked, "the hell's a Stone Free?" The couch was quickly nearing them, "no time to explain!" Exclaimed Jolyne, "get behind me!" A light blue formed around Jolyne as she pushed Bronny out of the way, "Stone Free!"

Jolyne's Stand, Stone Free, emerged. Bronny eye's widened at the light blue figure in front of him, the figure resembled Jolyne herself, but was much larger and with stud like bumps all over it. "ORA!" Stone Free yelled, it punched the couch away, sending it crashing into the wall behind them. "You'll regret targeting me bitch!" Jolyne yelled, she and Stone Free lunged at Dre, but before she could strike, Dre sank into the floor, disappearing. "W-Where did he go!?" Bronny yelled, Joshua jumped from the second floor to meet the two, "your Stand is stronger than I originally thought," he said, "but we can discuss that later." Jolyne suddenly grabbed Joshua's collar, "who the hell are you!" She snapped, "how did you know I had a Stand, answer me!" Joshua looked Jolyne in the eyes, "I said, we will discuss it later." Bronny walked up to the two, "hey, wait, I don't understand, what do you mean by Stands?" He asked, "are you talking about that thing that Jolyne had called out?"

Jolyne and Joshua looked at each other in surprise, "you, you saw it?" Jolyne asked, "you saw my Stone Free?" Bronny raised an eyebrow, "uh, yeah, if that figure is your Stone Free, then yeah, I saw it." Jolyne rubbed her chin, "how did I not see this earlier," she muttered. "Wait, I still don't get what you guys are saying," Bronny said, Joshua walked up to him, "Bronny, what you saw was not a figure, it was a Stand, an embodiment of one's soul and spirit." Bronny tilted his head, "I.." "The fact that you saw Jolyne's Stand is important," Joshua said, "it means that you too have a Stand!" The ground beneath the three began to shake as they looked up, the fire that was in the fireplace had been taken from it and heading right for them. "You may not understand what is happening, but please listen!" Exclaimed Joshua, "In order for us to survive, you must summon your Stand! You must defeat Dre with your Stand!"
