Chapter 46: The End of God's Plan part 4
"Where the fuck is he!?" Yelled Jolyne. The group looked around the dark waters, it was almost impossible to see what was in there. "The water is rising," said Joshua, "I'd give it maybe ten minutes before we are swallowed by it." Josuke turned to Joshua, "I, love your optimism," he sarcastically said. "Can you all shut up," Kira spat, "your bickering isn't gonna get us out of here." He put his fingers to his mouth and blew out a bubble. The bubble floated to the water, and exploded, sending water everywhere. "What the hell are you doing?" Jolyne asked. "A trick I learned about fishing," replied Kira, "why throw a reel, when you can use a bomb to fish out the, well, fish." Jolyne raised an eyebrow, "and that's supposed to work?" Kira turned to her, "do you have a better idea?" Jolyne folded her arms, "no." "Then shut up and let me concentrate." Kira blew another bubble into the water, it exploded, sending more water crashing around them. "This isn't going to get us out of here," said Josuke, "we need a new plan, Joshua, what did your Smooth Criminal say about…" Josuke turned, Joshua was gone. "Josh?" He looked around, but he was nowhere to be found. "Oh shit, where'd he go?" Jolyne said. The three looked around, but he was nowhere to be found, "this isn't good." Unknownst to them, beneath the water, Joshua floated. "I hear drowning is one of the worst ways to go," Felix muttered, holding Joshua by the head, "I wonder how it would feel, knowing that you were slowly dying, a shame you are going to find out."
"Hey Bron, have you heard anything from the others?" LeBron asked. Bronny shook his head, "not since we first entered, no." LeBron sighed, "I don't like the sound of that," he said, "they might have gotten into trouble." LeBron turned to the two girls, "we're gonna head further down and see what the situation is," he said, "you two move along and see if you can find any clues." Rae huffed, "why do you get to have all the fun," she complained. "Well, us men can take more of a punch, no offense to you girls." Rae pouted, slamming her fist into LeBron's groin. LeBron doubled over, clutching his lower area. "How's that for a hit?" Rae teased. LeBron grunted, looking up, "t-that's not a fair, comparison," he said, "you ladies don't even have a-" "That's enough dad," Bronny interrupted, "we'll leave this to you two, be safe guys." Bronny dragged his dad away and downstairs. "Can you believe the nerve on that guy?" Rae exclaimed, she sighed, "men, so annoying, thinking they know everything, am I not right my dear Noel?" Noel chuckled, "trust me, I know far too well." "Boyfriend issues?" Noel chuckled softly, "Let's just get this over with Rae." "Wait, I want to know," Rae said, tugging on Noel's skirt, "my interest has peaked!" Noel sighed, rubbing her forehead, "long story short, a lot of boys can be complete assholes and skirt chasers, so if I were you, be careful with who you want to be with." Rae tilted her head, "skirt chaser?" "It means that they don't really care about you and just want what's underneath this skirt, instead of who packs it." Rae nodded, "boys are weird."
Bronny and LeBron made it to the main floor of the building. Things were quiet, a little too quiet. "Giorno, is everything alright?" LeBron asked. No response. "I've got a bad feeling about this dad," Bronny muttered. LeBron nodded his head, "yeah, if there's one thing I know, it's that silence is never a good thing." The two heard faint tapping in the shadows, LeBron stood in front of Bronny, summoning his Space Jam, "if anyone's out there, show yourself!" He yelled, "unless of course, you're scared to fight, then by all means, stay and cower like a pussy!"
Laughter came from the shadows, and out walked Irene. She glared at the two men; a smirk etched across her face. "So, you're the kid that everyone has been talking about," she said, pointing at Bronny, "you've had quite the adventure, haven't you? But like everything in life, it comes to an end tonight." "Don't get too confident," said Bronny, "I didn't come this far just to fail, I intend on ending things here tonight!" Irene rubbed her chin, "do you really think it's that easy? Honestly, even if you win tonight, you lives will stay forever changed, you will never be the same, killing Hunter isn't going bring all those that died back." Bronny shook his head, "It's not gonna be easy that's for sure," he said, "but it's like I said, I didn't come all this way just to die, after everything that has happened, I can't afford to fail."
Irene chuckled, brushing her hair to the side, "were it so easy." Suddenly, a beast like monster crawled next to Irene. "W-What the fuck?" LeBron muttered. Irene petted the monster, "you know, your little band of misfits, they weren't that tough, I expected a lot more," she said, "with that said, I hope you'll give me a better fight, I don't want my time wasted." "That thing, I-It's Axel," Bronny said, "this girl's ability, it must transform people into monsters." Bronny felt a buzz in his pants, it was his phone. He quickly opened it to see a text from Jolyne. "I need help. Joshua and Josuke got taken by this water Stand. Come quick!" "Fuck," Bronny muttered, "Jolyne is in trouble!" As Bronny began to run, the beast charged at him. Just as it jumped at Bronny, LeBron's Space Jam slammed it's fist into it, sending it crashing back. "Bronny! Go help your girlfriend," LeBron yelled, "I'll deal with this bitch." "Right!" As Bronny turned, his cheeks suddenly brightened, "wait, she's not my…ugh, whatever."
