I don't own JJBA DIU or DC SH Girls
Chapter 5: Heart of The Cheetah? And The Killjoy and The Imposter!
One of the things that Okuyasu learned at school, more specifically at Metropolis High was popularity. He wasn't the most popular person with people, not that he cared much for that stuff. It never bothered him before, so when people stood clear of him or muttered about him, or just looked at him with nervousness and fear, he didn't bat an eye. On some level, he was a bit antisocial because of his lack of human interaction, but it never stopped him before. While he was walking through the hallway of the school, he nearly bumped into a short girl with pale orange hair, pale skin, and green eyes, she was wearing a baggy green sweater and baggy tan pants.
"Sorry about that." Okuyasu said, she only gazed at him and continued walking. "Weird." He muttered. "I wondered how Diana is doing?" He thought.
Meanwhile elsewhere, Diana was preparing to try out for the gymnast team. She was pumping herself up and then ran up and jumped over the whole time and performed a perfect landing, Barbi, the girl before her, was pissed and turned away with a huff. The female coach thought that they should have co-captions this year but Barbi was against it, so Diana was named the new team captain, all the girls cheered for Diana and this anger Barbi, then in class Barbi got an 100% in AP Calculus but Diana got 102% with set a new school record and that further angered Barbi, and at the end of the day Barbi approach her "friends" and invited them to a pool party at her house but they decline because they were helping Diana for a school dance. This was Barbi's breaking point, this whole week she was dealing with being out done by Diana and how had enough of it! She let out a scream and slammed her feet on the gas pedal and stormed all the way home, still screaming. She continued to scream until she reached a set of double doors that read "Private" and tried to open it but it was locked.
"Nice try, Daddy." Barbi growled.
She kicked the door open and looked around her dad's private quarter for the perfect tool for dealing with Diana. She couldn't stand there being someone that was more skilled, more intelligent, and more popular. Poison was too quick, a dagger was too humane, a voodoo looking object was too humorous. She then saw what she was looking for and that was the golden statue of a cat with green gemstone eyes. Perfect!
"Diana Prince, little miss perfect, well, I have the perfect curse for the perfect girl." Barbi said with a smirk. "Woe to her in Cheetah's path, for she shall feel the Cheetah's wrath, by claws and fangs and with spite and hate, swift as wind, she'll seal your fate!" She chanted.
Barbi waited for something to happen but… nothing. She throws the statue to the ground left with a huff of anger for it not working, unknown to her, that it indeed ahd work because the eyes began to glow.
Back at the school, the girls were excited for the dance. Okuyasu was with them because he had nothing better to do and Babs would leave him alone unless he came with them.
"It is with great excitement that I anticipate sharing what the decorating committee has done." Diana said excitedly.
"And it is with great excitement that I anticipate the dance is going to be great!" Babs shouted.
"But I don't know how to dance." Karen said nervously.
"Fear not young Karen, for I possess dance moves that are rich with fleek." Diana stated. "You're welcome to study them."
"Yeah, can't wait to see." Okuyasu said with a chuckle.
They all entered the school and had expected the decorations to be out of this world, but instead they were much with all of them being torn to shreds.
"Look like someone really "tore it up" already." Kara stated.
"That isn't funny, Kara." Jessica told her.
"Instead of cutting a rug, they cut the poster." Kara jokes once more.
"No, I mean, it literally isn't funny." Jessica said more firmly.
"Maybe… Maybe the dance shouldn't have booked a band that shred so hard." Kara jokes, chuckling.
"Kara!" Jessica shouted.
"Those crappy puns are trashed up then these posters." Okuyasu said with a groan.
"Hmm." Diana said, observing the damage.
"Got any idea?" Okuyasu asked, looking at torn up posters.
"I think so…" Diana answered.
"I don't like this." Okuyasu said with a frown, planning to do his own investigation.
The school day continued as normal, Diana couldn't help but feel concerned, because when it was time for gym class and she went to get her outfit the moment she closed her lock a claw mark appeared, she gasped and heard the sound of a bottle falling but saw nothing, she hear growling and suddenly got struck! Meanwhile, Okuyasu looked around the school for more damage but there was nothing else but torn up posters that were getting thrown out, until he turned the corner and saw Diana's school locker with the same claw mark.
"What the?" Okuyasu mutters. "This can't be good…"
Then he heard Diana's scream and without thinking rushed to the source of the sound, the girls were already in the locker room with the punk quickly behind and aloof them saw Diana laying on the floor, scratches up a bit.
"What happened? Who did this to you?" Jessica asked, concerned.
"I don't know. I was knocked into me. It came from nowhere." Diana told them, Okuyasu looked around for anything and saw the same claw mark from before.
"This just confirms that something is up, and it ain't good." Okuyasu stated.
"Don't you see." Bads asked them all. "Clearly, someone is suffering from having their status quo upended by Diana's arrival in Metropolis, and their crippling insecurity most likely caused by absentee parenting, and a lack of proper modeling in childhood, has unleashed an ancient curse that has manifested itself in the form of some a cat beast that's now stalking the perceived enemy, which is Diana!" Babs explained, causing everyone to look at her. "There's a monster on the loose!" She clarified.
"Then we have to get you somewhere safe." Jessica stated.
"It ain't Diana that needs protecting." Kara said firmly.
"She's right, there's no telling what the beast will do if left alone." Okuyasu said seriously.
"Whatever it is could be perilous to everyone here." Diana said firmly. "We must find a way to evacuate our fellow students without causing distress." She told them.
Kara merely pulled the fire alarm and all the students fled the school in a panic, it was the opposite of what they were planning but it worked.
"Good Grief." Okuyasu muttered.
"What happened to no distress?" Jessica asked Kara. "Will you please get out of the girl's locker room!" She told him.
"Fine, fine." Okuyasu said with a sigh.
"Come everyone, the hunt begins." Diana said firmly.
All the girls quickly changed into their superhero outfits and struck a heroic pose. Okuysu merely stuck to the side and rolled his eyes. The cat beast cut off the power to the school, which shut them into darkness.
"We have much territory to cover." Diana stated. "Let's us split ourselves."
"Split us." Kara said, deadpanned.
"Yes, that." Diana confirmed.
And each one of them took off in a different direction, leaving Okuyasu to himself. The punk began his search and his vision adjusted to the darkness rather quickly thanks to years living in a house that had no power. He felt his spine chilled up, it was haunting at night living in a house with no lights, he couldn't stand it, this slightly opened up unwanted memories to his younger days.
"Calm down, this is nothing… compared to what you've been through." Okuyasu told himself, but the slight trembling said something else. "Get a grip." He said, grabbing his trembling hand. "Wonder how others are doing?" He muttered.
Jessica search the library, creating a candle with her power ring but it give off enough light so she made a flashlight but she hear the sounds of a cat meowing, she look around the the cat but the meow sounded like it coming from everywhere, she look check a corner of the room and created a lantern to brightened the more but sound nothing, then heard a growling behind her and was struck! Batgirl was searching the hallway for the cat beast while tracking everyone's else movement she saw that Jessica's blip out and she was next, she frantically look around for the creature but saw nothing but darkness from every angle it was coming at her fast she ready herself, it on her location but she didn't see anything, because it was too late! Zatanna was looking around the lunch room and was nervous, she look around for anything with her hand ready to blast, she heard something above her and ans shot a magic blast but hit nothing but something was coming and she frantically fired magic blast after magic but couldn't hit and left the lunch room, screaming. With Supergirl, she was looking around the principal's office until she heard something sneak in.
"Forget it, whatever you are. I have infrared vision, sucka." Supergirl said with a confident smirk. The beast leaped all over the room, Supergirl tried to touch it but it was too fast. "You think you're fast? Well, I'm fast, too." She tries to hit it but it dodges her and runs out the room.
Supergirl bolts out of the room and quickly follows the beast and tries to catch up but runs into Zatanna and gets hit with a freezing spell. Zatanna realizes what she has done and also what's to come as the beast looms over her, she lets out a scream as thunder booms! With Okuyasu he hear the scream and that didn't help his anxiety, he continue his search only saw remnants of the beast travel, he hear a faint growling and tries to pinpoint the source of the sound but he can't, a cold sweat drop down his cheek as he ready himself for what's to come, then a shadowy figure of the best jump all over the hallways, he tries to hit it with a barrage of punch with The Hand but couldn't land a blow because of the speed and darkness and the beast scratched his right leg, making blood drip from it.
"Ah! Shit." Okuyasu said in pain, now pissed. "Son of a bitch."
The beast came for a second serving this time and got his left shoulder, then delivered a third strike that left a scratch on his cheek, making him wheeze in pain and try even harder but he could hit nothing but air. His mind was too fogged up with anxiety and concern, then he remembered one of the pieces of Keicho's advice was trying to pound into his skull, use his head and focus. He took a couple of deep breaths and calmed himself, he listened and waited as the beast took another lunge at him, ready to finish him! As the beast was inches away from slashing his neck, he called out The Hand and delivers a strong right hook that send the beast hauling across the hall and into the wall, the beast spit out saliva and drop of blood growls in pain, bright green eyes glared at him and he glared right back, the beast realize what it was dealing with and retreat to the shadows, Okuyasu take a minute to caught his breath and let out a sigh of relief.
"Jeez, this is certainly new…" Okuyasu muttered, honestly preferring to deal with Stand Users then a wild animal. "No rest for the wicked." He told him, getting up.
Bumblebee frightened, she looked over a corner and saw a glimpse of the beast and quickly shrunk down and flew away and hid in the gym. The beast followed her and looked around for her, sniffing her out.
"O-Okay, okay, okay. Phew! Hero time!" Bumblebee told her, then appeared from her hiding place and let out a battle cry and fired at her. It did nothing and merely pissed off the beast, glaring at her with anger as proof. "Uh oh…" And the beast chomped at her! The beast sensed another presence and turned and saw Wonder Woman.
"Get away from her, you…" Diana said firmly, but the beast revealed itself as a cheetah. "Cheetah?" She said, confused.
The cheetah beast spit out Bumblebee and lunged at Diana! The two engage in close combat, the cheetah claw and slash at her but she blocked every strike with her bracelets, the cheetah kept slicing at her an attack with a spinning slashing attack quite pushed her to the wall, the cheetah jump at her and clawed it feet at her until Diana force it off, it slides across the floor and growl at her, then pounce at her and keeps slashing at her once more but it's blocked. She uses the gym equipment to move around to avoid the beast, it's quickly on her tail and she lands on the floor once more and the two charge at each other and attack each other! The scuffle end and both of them are scratched up, Wonder Woman grabs the tail and the cheetah didn't like that and begin running around the room wit Diana still hanging on and smashing her into the gym equipment but she does her best to dodging them but end up getting hit by a balance beam and that free the cheetah, both of them were panting slightly and were tiring each other out they narrowed their eyes at one another, they charged at each other and used the springboard to propel themselves forward and right for one finally strike! A white flash from the window shines at the same Okuyasu bust through the gym door only to be blinded by the bright, Diana did a graceful landing and Cheetah fell to the floor in defeat.
"Well, Cheetah, it appears cats don't always land on their-" Diana began to say but saw Cheetah was gone and only Okuyasu and it seemed the beast headed through the exit.
Diana quickly goes through the exit but sees an injured Barbi laying on the floor and quickly changes out her Wonder Woman outfit to her regular one and goes to check on her, Okuyasu merely stood at the door.
"D-Diana, stay away." Barbi told her. "The monster…"
"The Cheetah is gone, Barbi. You're safe now." Diana told her.
"Oh, Diana, this is all my fault. I release the Cheetah." Barbi told her.
"You, why?" Diana asked.
"Because… I was jealous of you." Barbi told her.
"You needn't be." Diana told her. "One person's success does not preclude another's. Jealousy is a green eyed monster that will consume you if you do let it go."
"You're right, Diana." Barbi said, tearing up. "I'm sorry." Diana and Okuyas heard clattering and thought it was the Cheetah.
"The cheetah." Diana said firmly.
"Diana, go. I'm fine, just go." Barbi told her.
Diana ran off, Okuyasu merely looked at Barbi and followed Diana, the two the rest of the group battered but okay, save for Supergirl still being frozen.
"Supergirl?" Wonder Woman asked, concerned.
"What the hell?" Okuyasu said, confused.
"She can't hear you." Batgirl told her.
"She'll be fine. In about seven hours." Zatanna stated. "What about the monster?" She asked.
"The hairball must have bailed." Okuyasu said seriously, not liking the idea of such a beast at large.
"Indeed. She's escaped, for now, but surely we will face her another day." Diana stated.
"Even so, I can't help but get this bad feeling in my gut." Okuyasu said seriously, his thoughts turning back to Barbi.
"Ah! Okuyasu you're covered in wounds!" Batgirl pointed out concern for him.
"There are just a few scratches, no big deal." Okuyasu said, feeling his cheek and wincing in pain.
"It's a really big deal, such injuries must be taken care of immediately!" Diana shouted, getting up and close in his face and observing his injuries, making the punk blush.
"E-Easy there…!" Okuyasu told her, nervously.
"Come! We are tending to these now!" Diana said firmly, pulling him to the nurse's office.
Back in the locker room, Barbi was picking herself up after suffering some kind of scuffle and turned on the water as she looked into the mirror.
"Let go of the green eyed monster, eh, Diana?" Barbi said, splashing her face with water. "And why would I ever want to let go of this?" She said, her makeup running down and her open eyes and they were green and now had fangs fangs, she let out a maniacal laugh!
A few days have passed since the incident with Cheetah, Okuyasu still didn't like the idea of that thing out and about but what's done is done. Right now, he was in the school bathroom and was checking out his face, there wasn't any scarring from the scratches he got from Cheetah.
"Well there doesn't seem to be any permanent damage." Okuyasu muttered.
While Cheetah was concerning, the beast was gone and that was it. What was more worrying was the missing Arrow and the potential Stand User it could create, he hasn't run into any trouble with them, yet. His mind turns to other things, like Diana forcing him to sit down while she tends to his injuries. He never thought the warrior princess would be so skilled in dealing with injuries, he then thinks about the person that took the Arrow, he had been ready for anything because he didn't have backup or Josuke here to heal him if he suffered some serious damage.
"Jeez… it's unnerving." Okuyasu muttered to himself. "I can't help but hope there aren't any enemies but at the same time I want to be ready for when they strike." He stated. "Whatever the case is, once I get the Arrow… I'll erase it from this world, for good."
He left the bathroom and continued with class as normal, he saw a lot of people giving him weird glances of fright or anger? He didn't understand but then again he wasn't always aware of his surroundings or the people around him. When he got to his locker it was laddered with hateful words and insults, now this got him riled up a bit.
"The hell? Who did this?" Okuyasu muttered, normally he would scream this out in anger but he needed a low cover, so he took in a deep breath of air and exhaled.
He opened it and simply grabbed his things, he figured that due to his size and rough outer interior that no one would face him head on so they did shit like this, he understood why but it still pissed him off. He continues his day as normal, wondering how the girls were doing, in his time spent with them he got to be honest, he felt attached to them he goes so far as to say that he was their friend but that was all. Speaking of them, he saw the group of girls approaching him but they didn't look to be happy for some reason, this got the punk feeling that something bad was going to happen. And he was proving right when Jesscia gave him a firm slap across the face!
"Ow! The heck was that for?" Okuyasu asked, rubbing his cheek.
"Don't act all innocent after what you did!" Jessica shouted at him.
"Huh! What are you talking about?" Okuyasu asked, confused.
Jessica merely looked at him with disgust, Zatara walked to him, calmly looked him right in the eyes and gave him an even harder slap across the face!
"Ow! What the hell!?" Okuyasu asked, still not understanding.
"Hmph!" Zatara said, giving him the silent treatment.
Okuyasu was about to question her but Kara delivered a fierce punch to his right cheek, which had him hurling into the locker, he grunted in pain.
"OW! What the fuck!?" Okuyasu asked fiercely, rubbing his right cheek and jaw.
"Keep playing dumb if you want to, but your a real creep!" Kara told him, angrily.
"For the last time, what are you talking about!?" Okuyasu asked, losing patience.
Having enough of this, Jessica show Okuyasu video evidence of him doing things he normally would never do, like him sneaking into the girl's locker room and steal their panties, picking on the weak and meek students for lunch money, hanging out with the wrong crowd of teens, and all around being a piece of shit. To say Okuyasu was shocked was an understatement, he couldn't fathom what he was seeing, he knew for a fact he hadn't and would never do these things.
"What the? That's not me!" Okuyasu stated.
"Yeah, right! You know… I thought you were better than that but turns out I was wrong." Jessica said, upset.
"But…" Okuyasu tries to counter.
"Save it! You just… ugh! I can't even look at you!" Jessica said, turning her back to him and storming.
"I-It not…" Okuyasu tries to make his claim.
Zatara continues to give him the silent treatment and turns her back to him, marching off the look of disgust clear on her face.
"You're a real piece of crap…" Kara told him, and walked off.
Okuyasu turns his gaze to Diana, Barbara, and Karen, and wished he hadn't, Karen look at him in fright and quickly ran while Babara visibly looked hurt and upset at him and Diana just look him not with anger but just pure disappointment and just walked off, he wasn't sure what was worse the hurtful words from earlier or the silence and look in their eyes. Okuyasu wasn't sure how to feel, he knew for a fact he didn't do it and that he hadn't known the girls for this long but at the same time he felt like shit and the look on their face only made him feel worse. He pushed that thought and feelings to the back of his mind for now because this was obviously the work of an enemy Stand and the User was clearly using his face to ruin his image and make him out to be a jackass.
"Whoever did this, is going to pay for this…" Okuyasu said, clenching his fist.
The rest of his day counter as normal, at lunch Okuyasu ate by himself which was a bit sad but no one care, say punk was trying to figure who and where the Stand User was and how he was going to find him, all the good it did him with no leads and he doubt Jessica was going to tell him who film and send the video.
"Damn. What the hell am I going to do?" Okuyasu thought, taking a bite of his food, which was mashed potatoes and meat.
He continued to think about his situation but it was interrupted when he flinched in pain and spit out what looked like a piece of broken glass? He raised a brow and used his spoon to look through and saw multiple shards of glass in his food!
"What the hell!? Who did this!?" Okuyasu thought shocked, sweat dripping down his face.
He tossed out the tray of food and left and walked the halls, his throat felt a little dry and he stopped by the water fountain but when he pressed the button instead of a gentle stream he got a full force blast of water to the face, he sputtered and gasped as he got soaked. He let out a growl and walked to the boy's bathroom to dry off, while he was in the bathroom he used a few paper towels to wipe his face and then used a hand dryer but instead of blowing hot air it sucked his right arm instead! He freaked out and tried to pull it out but it didn't seemed to work because from inside a few red eyes beings had tangled some of the strings from his jacket around his wrist and into the machine, what's worse was the fact it was hotting up to an alerting temperature and looked ready to blow!
"Shit! The Hand!" Okuyasu shouted, calling forth his Stand.
He had his Stand rips off pieces of his jacket to free himself and not a moment sooner because the hand dryer blew up and nearly consumed him if he didn't use his Stand to deflect the flames and scrape of burning metal.
"That was close, too close." Okuyasu said, looking at his torn sleeve and slightly burnt wrist.
He decided it was best to leave before someone put this on him, he quickly avoided anyone in the halls and headed for the nurse's office, where he got his arm taken care of. Now, Okuyasu was trying to figure out what the heck was going on, the bell rang and he sighed, as everyone was heading for their next class, he went upstairs for his next one. It continue as normal, aside from the dirty looks he got from the students, one from behind him even hit him with a spit ball he wipes it and off ad turns and unleash a burning glare with low growl as a challenge for them to do it again, that scared the crap out of them and the rest of class went on as normal until it end. As he was walking through the hallways and was about to head downstairs, he was hit in the back of the head by something and look around and saw it was a roll up piece of paper and let out a annoyed sigh and was about to walk down but he ended up tripping and was about to hit his face the stairs but he quickly jump forward to avoid being fatality injured and uses his Stand to help him land safely, Okuyasu groans and looks and saw that his boots were tied together. He unties them and was now feeling something was off, he wasn't liking what was going on.
"What the hell is going on? This isn't adding up." Okuyasu told himself, getting up. "Is this the work of a Stand?"
If an enemy Stand User was somehow behind this then most likely they were also the one that ruined his image, why would they was beyond him but he was going to pummel their ass in the ground for that. While he thinks up a plan to lure out any possible enemies one of the roof tiles falls and nearly gets him in the head but it miss and that alerts him and he looks up and saw a couple of red beady eyes staring at and then quickly retreat into the darkness, the punk growled and uses his Stand punch and couple holes in the ceiling but they creatures were long gone.
"Damn…" Okuyasu muttered, upset.
He walked down the school hall, now more alert for any other "surprises" but unknown to him was that the school cameras were now focusing solely on him, watching his every movement. Upstairs in the computer room at the end, was were two figures the lights were off to the were covered in shadow, one was sitting in front of a computer and was somehow able to hack into the schools security system to uses the camera to monitor Okuyasu's movement the other merely stood over them and watch, annoyed.
"What's the deal? This is the fourth time you've failed to end him." The one standing said.
"It's not my fault he's more tricky to eliminate than I thought, it's clear that he's got more skill then what we were told but that doesn't change a thing, so let me and my Killjoy handle this!" The one at the computer stated.
"Hmph. As far as I can see, your Stand doesn't seem to be good at assassins." The one standing said with a scoff.
"Give it time! They will learn, my Killjoy will adapt and finish him…" The one at the computer said ominously.
Okuyasu was at his locker and open it carefully and with ease he look around for anymore "surprises" but saw nothing but the moment he let go of the door it came flying at him and nearly slam on his neck but instead got his three of his fingers on his left hand, he scream in pain and uses his Stand rip open the locker door and removed his damage fingers the only ones unharmed were his index and thumb, he was now pissed and took a closer look and saw that his locker was rigged to close on his one, this was something else. The pain in his hands was aggravating so he head for the nurses office once more, hoping they mind have something to ease the pain but on his way the water fountain went off on it's own and spray him, soaking him in water he lets out a annoyed sigh and continue to head for the nurses office, unknown to him a few small being with red beady eyes observed him and chuckled sinsterly.
"Just watch and see, Killjoy has already set it's plan in motion." The one at the computer said with a chuckle.
He was at the door and was about to open it, unaware that the door was rigged with another trap because there was copper wire wrapped around the doorknob and ran along the wall and was connected to a busted lightbulb that had electricity flaring out. Okuyasu's hand reached out and was about to open the door and just as he was about to have a nasty shock that would kill him, he heard a whimpering and followed the sound and saw Karen getting bullied by a couple of big guys, he sneered and marched up to them.
"Hey! Leave her alone, or else…" Okuyasu growled at them.
"Go find your own prey, this one ours!" The bully leader shouted.
Okuyasu eyes became shadow as his give off a aura of pure anger and malice, he raise his left hand and slams it against the locker and left a dent in it, he shot them a glare that pierce their souls
"Scram, now." Okuyasu said seriously, his voice full of hostility.
That got his message across as the bullies ran off with a fright, Karen merely quivers in fear, his face softens and tries to speak to her but she runs off in a fright. He sighs and decides to just walk off, he merely goes to the bathroom and rings out the water in his clothes, the pain in his fingers easing up now.
"Unstoppable huh? It failed once again." The one standing stated.
"He got lucky! If you're not going to be helpful and just badger me then maybe you like a go at him!?" The one at the computer shouted.
"I probably have better luck than you, my The Imposter has already done most of the work." The one standing said in a mocking tone.
"Grrrr." The one at the computer sneered. "If it's so useful, then why do you use some of that usefulness to lure that idiot into Killjoy's next trap?"
"Fine. Then we can be done with this and get our reward for this." The one standing said with a huff.
Okuyasu was now in his underwear and was fanning his clothes to dry them off more quickly. After a while, Okuyasu put them back on but they were still damp, it may not be completely dry but it was better than being soaking wet, he left the bathroom and was still trying to figure out a way to track the enemy Stand User.
"Okuyasu!" He heard his voice being called and turned and saw Karen?
"What up?" Okuyasu aske confused, because a moment ago she ran away from in fright.
"I-I need your help…" Karen told him meekly.
"With what?" Okuyas asked her.
"F-Follow me." Karen told him.
And Okuyasu did, he was trying to figure out what was up with Karen because stuff wasn't adding up because she ran away from him in a hurry with a clear look of fear which only twisted the pain in his chest. Was she trying to give him a chance? Did she believe he was innocent? What was it that she needed his help for that she couldn't ask the other girls?
They stopped and Karen pointed to a classroom door, Okuyasu raised a brow and opened the door and saw nothing but an empty room. He then felt something shoved him into the classroom and locked the door, Okuyasu got up and before he could figure out what was going on he smelt smoke and saw a fire had been started! He freaked out and went to put it out but the school sprinkles turned on and the whole room got soaked but just before that happened Okuyasu saw a few livewires and realized what was going on! The whole room sparkled to life as Okuyasu let out a scream and then a thump was here. The door opened and Karen, now having an odd blank face that was unlike her, saw Okuyasu's body on the floor, motionless. She checked to see if he was breathing by putting a piece of glass in front of his nose, when she didn't get anything she then felt his neck for a pulse and when she didn't get anything for a minute, it was confirmed that Okuyasu… was dead.
Karen turned her back to the punk and walked out the room, a few minutes later Okuyasu let out a gasp and coughed, he clenched his chest and was panting like he was at the brink of getting a heart attack, that wasn't too far.
"That was close, if I had been any slower in reacting I'd be dead." Okuyasu stated, revealing he was playing possum a little too literally.
He used his Stand to pick him up and hold him and scream to make it seem like he was in pain then lays on the floor and held his breath and even used his Stand to stop his heartbeat like Jotaro did, a very dangerous stunt that could have killed him for real if he was to careless.
"What the hell? I know for a fact that wasn't Karen, if not then who was it." Okuyasu said seriously.
"See? That's how you get things done." The one standing said smugly.
"Don't forget it was thanks to my Killjoy that he's even dead!" The one at the computer said annoyed.
"Whatever, it worked. So it doesn't matter." The one standing scoffed.
"Grrrr, whatever!" The one at the computer said with a huff.
Then a few minutes later they saw Okuyasu walking out, he then looks at the camera with a glare and then calls forth his Stand and smash it, cutting off the connection. Soon more static appeared on the screen meaning more cameras were getting destroyed by Okuyasu and most likely he was heading for here, it only matter of time.
"I thought you said your Stand killed him!?" The one standing shouted.
"It was your Stand that was supposed to check to see if he was dead! The fact he's alive and walking means it did a shit job doing so!" The one at the computer shouted back.
"Ugh! You're completely useless, I'll just have to go and finish off myself this time up and close." The one standing said in anger.
"Forget it, my Killjoy will be the one to finish this don't forget that we're on the 10th floor and he was last spotted near the 2th floor, he'll be dead before he even reaches the 4th floor." The one at the computer said seriously, bits of sweat dripping down. "Playtime is over."
"Whatever. I'm not taking any chances." The one standing said, leaving the room.
Okuyasu made his way up the stairs and was currently on the 3th floor and marched down the hallway, smashing school cameras. He took only a few steps before he had to use his Stand deflect a pen that was aimed for his neck, he looked around for anything but saw nothing. He continued to walk down the hallway with a sense of urgency keeping his eyes out for anything, then from behind him a locker opened and then a pencil that was sharpened to a dangerous point was thrown at him! He dodge and unleash a barrage of punches at the locker and completely wreck it, he thought that was the end of things but then from one of the crack and scalpel was thrust at him at frightening speed, he move his head to avoid it and merely gets a small nick of his cheek, he heard small sinister chuckling and used The Hand to try and pry open the dented door and it revealed multiple small goblin like creatures with beady red eyes and crooked smiles, before Okuyasu could react the creatures scatter in every direction, disappearing!
"Was that the enemy's Stand? It must be a colony type Stand, like Harvest or Bad Company." Okuyasu muttered. "If so this is going to be a pain in the ass to deal with." He said, unusually calm.
He still couldn't let his guard down because the Stand of the enemy was revealed, he still needed to locate them. He march down the hall, but unknowns to him he sit off a tripwire and that cause a barrage of deadly sharp pencils to be launched from both side of the wall, he destroys them all with The Hand and continue to and was barely halfway through before he get stabs in the leg making him wince in pain he look down and saw a pencil, he bent down and pull it out. He get up and advance once more but side off another tripwire and from the ceiling a bucket full of rock came swing at him but he was able to knock it the side and merely "tsk" at the poor attempt but would soon regret under estimating Killjoy because while his back was turn a second one came swing at twice the second and give him a blow to the back of his head, he grunted in pain and nearly blacks out but keep conscious and groans rubbing the back of his head.
"Son of a bitch." Okuyasu cursed, trying to soothe his pain.
He was now pissed and decided to pick up the pace and bolt down the hall but part of the floor was soaked with soapy water and Okuyasu ended up slipping and falling on the floor. He grunts in pain but that wasn't the end because he had to roll out the way of the row of lockers that almost ended up crushing him. He picks himself up with the help of his Stand and carefully walks across the wet floor, almost to the end of the hall. He was nearly there but one more trap reared its ugly head and that was in the form of a barrage of knives, forks, and other dangerous untisils! Okuyasu guard against them while using his Stand to deflect them and the moment his foot pressed against the first step, a second wave of deadly utensils was fired at at him from behind he quickly deflect as many as he could but get hit in the right forearm with a knife and left thigh by a fork, he grunts in pain and pull them out. He walks up the stairs but has some trouble and saw that the steps were coated in grease and made him slip and fall, he nearly trips but uses his foot to catch himself but winces in pain in his feet, he looked and saw nails placed under him. He began pulling them out and it was as painful as he thought, once that was done and used The Hand to get himself to the top by simply erasing space.
"Jeez, that was close." Okuyasu muttered.
He checks the steps to the 4th floor and they look normal but just to be safe used his erasing ability to get to the top, he then bolts down the hallway of the 4th floor!
"What the hell!? How is he still alive and was able to make it!?" The one at the computer shouted. "Grrrrr! That's it, since sneaking around and waiting isn't doing the job… a frontal assault will have to do, besides even if it doesn't Killjoy has set traps all the floors to the 10th. It's over for you!"
Meanwhile with Okuyasu, he was charging through with the sole intention of beating the shit out of the user of these little beasts. And as if the universe was answering his request in the most messed up way, the swarm of little green gremlins appeared from all over the place and charged at him, some were even wielding makeshift weapons, like sharpened pencils, razor sharp knives, and pointy forks! He quickly unleashes a barrage of punches with The Hand and destroy a decent amount of them but just like with Harvest there was just too many and they attacked him, the unarm once latch on to his Stand and start biting and clawing into it some even rip open tears, the damage from his Stand reflect onto him and he does his best to get them off, but he assault him with their weapon, stabbing and cutting him some even try to force they way inside him to mess with his organ. It hurt like hell, Okuyasu was trying his best to keep the Stand from hitting him in a vital spot but both him and his Stand were getting overwhelmed it only got worse when they started pelting him with balloons full oil and had lit matches and fired them like arrows, he was able to blow out the flames with a kick from his Stand but those were merely a distraction as two of them had a lighter and lit his sleeve on fire! Okuyasu quickly rips his jacket off and tosses it to the ground, it was a close call but it didn't slow down those around him and his Stand.
He got an idea but it was risky and might not work, his Stand wasn't as fast as Star Platinum or Crazy Diamond but still plenty fast. So he commands his Stand pluck the little gremlin off his body as fast as possible which was doing the job, he grunt in pain as his Stand got the last one off him but one of his own Stand were still on damaging it and like vermin were trying borrow into his Stand but he had it smash them with all it might, the damage of the self harm hurt a lot but it got the last of the off his body, more try to swarm him but he erased the rest of them. He fell to his knees and coughed up blood and felt something wet, he checked and saw a large amount of blood soaking into his shirt. He felt lightheaded, he lost a lot of blood he sure turned back but the enemy was stone set on killing him so he had to push forward, even if it felt like hell. He forced himself to his feet and looked ahead, the way forward was littered with deadly traps that might kill him but that didn't stop him!
"I'm not going to stop, not until I kick you ass!" Okuyasu shouted, sprinting at full speed!
"If you wish to march to your death, so be it!" The one at the computer shouted.
Meanwhile, the girls were feeling a bit down. They didn't know Okuyasu for more than a few months and even then the punk didn't talk much about himself but still felt like one of the group because of his past actions and his knowledge of their secrets. But to find out he did such horrible things was more than upsetting, especially for Babara and Karen because of the fact the punk had saved Karen from a group of thugs and Barabara and him were New Student Buddies. Diana saw a lot of potential in him not just as a fighter but as an ally of Man's world and an example of what one should do in man's world.
"I can't believe it, I-I just...grrrrr! I'm so angry at him!" Jessica shouted.
"Just forget about the creep, the sooner the better." Kara stated.
"C-Come on guys, I'm sure there is a good explanation for this… I-I mean are we sure it was him?" Barbara said, trying to defend Okuyasu a bit.
"You're kidding right, the proof is right there Babs! There's no way that's not him…" Kara stated.
"I know, I know… it just seems so… out of nowhere." Barbara said, rubbing her arm.
"I'm sorry to say this, Babs. But Kara is right, it is clearly him doing all those things…" Jessica stated. "Guess you don't know a person until they show their true colors."
"R-Right…" Barbara said, still upset. "B-But… still."
"Just give it a rest, Babs!" Kara stated. "Diana, can you talk to Babs?"
Said Amazon Princess was space out the whole time, she was thinking back to a moment that she and the punk had.
Flashback
Diana and Okuyasu were in the middle of the junkyard, both of them wearing tank tops and regular pants, Okuyasu throw a jab that Diana is able to parry and counter with a right hook to the jaw making him stagger but he charge forward and throw a left hook but she guards against it, he tries another punch she but block it and get him with another punch to the jaw and causing him to waver once more, he follows up by body rushing the Amazon, Diana was getting ready to move out the way but then Okuyasu quickly changes tactics and delivers a firm punch right at her face, Diana quickly dodge and uses his momentum against him and slams her fist into his gut and knock him back, Okuyasu goes flying into the ground, he let out a gasp and groans.
"Apologize, dear Okuyasu!" Diana said, rushing to his side and helped him up.
"J-Jeez, you may look like a princess but you punch like a freaking truck." Okuyasu groaned, rubbing his gut.
"I don't believe that my fist has the same force and power as one of your transportation vehicles." Diana said cluelessly.
"Figure of speech, Diana." Okuyasu told her. "I meant your freaking strong." He stated.
"I-I see, are you well?" Diana asked him.
"I'm okay." Okuyasu assured her.
"Your skills and instincts are definitely above that of an average person." Diana praised. "But you lack a firm fighting style or combat knowledge and even though you have the ability to act fast you don't have a firm strategy." She told him.
"Well, I'm an idiot." Okuyasu stated. "I act with my gut and less with my brain."
"That's something we're gonna have to change." Diana said firmly, making it sound so easy.
"Oh joy…" Okuyasu groaned.
"Fear not, I shall help you find a base for a fighting style." Diana said cheerfully.
"Thanks, I'll guess." Okuyasu said, rubbing his head.
"Come! Let us continue with training!" Diana said, smiling.
"Sure." Okuyasu said, smiling back.
"Hey! Earth to Diana!" Kara shouted, snapping her out of it.
"Huh?" Diana said, confused.
"Ugh, nevermind." Kara said with a huff.
"I wonder what Okuyasu is doing?" Barbara said to herself.
If only the girls knew the truth, things might have been different. But like life, everything is full of unexpected situations that one can't understand.
Back with Okuyasu, the punk had made it to the 10th floor but he was badly injured. His body was cake in his own blood and his clothes were torn up to shreds, he even had a few makeshift weapon sticking out, he was covered with cuts, scrapes, bruises, even tears in his flesh, a and black eyes but he endured it all and pushed forward, it was pure hell.
"I got you now… I just need… to make down… this hall." Okuyasu thought, heavily panting.
"D-Damnit! How the hell is he even conscious? A normal person would be dead by now!" The one at the computer shouted. "Very well, have it your way!" They shouted.
The whole 10th floor was littered with all kinds of deadly traps like they were guarding a sacred treasure, Okuyasu let out a sigh and ran forward once more!
From outside the computer room, the sound of crushing and slashing along with the sound fleshing being hit and grunts of pain was heard. The person at the computer was sweating bullets as they waited for the moment that Okuyasu dropped dead, he hoped that the punk wouldn't burst through that door, he couldn't! After a while, it got silent, they waited for what felt like hours when in reality it was only a few minutes, when they finally felt like it was over for the punk they let out a sigh of relief, only for the door to be kicked open and knocked off it hinges! From the doorway, stood a frightening sight. A bloody Okuyasu covered in heavy bruises and deep cuts but those wounds only seem to make him look more terrifying as he stares deep into his foe's eyes, making them tremble with fear.
"There you are…" Okuyasu said in a husky voice.
"S-Shit! How!?" They shouted in fear.
"You've caused me a lot of trouble today, now you're gonna answer my question or I'll rearrange your face into a meat pie." Okuyasu threatened, his dull eyes piercing the soul of the enemy Stand User.
"D-Dammit." They cursed.
"Who the hell are you? And just what are you doing here?" Okuyasu asked. "And you better answer." He said menacingly.
"I-I'm Joey Franklin, and i-if it isn't obvious… I was using this computer to spy on you." Joey answered, fearing for his health.
"How did you get a Stand and what is its ability?" Okuyasu asked him. "And do you have a partner and if you do, where are they?"
"Some weird cloaked figure appeared and shot me with this Arrow, and gave me orders to deal with you. And my Stand, Killjoy is a swarm type Stand that adapts to kill it's destined target and won't stop until it is done." Joey explained. "I-It just me… I don't have a partner." He answered, then Okuyasu smashed one of his fingers with a punch. "Gaaaaah!"
"Lie to me again." Okuyasu told him. "I know for a fact that you were someone because that wasn't the real Karen that nearly got him killed in that trap." He said seriously.
"D-Dammit!" Joey cursed, holding his right hand that now had a broken finger.
"Where the hell are they? Tell me and I might not pummel you within an inch of your life." Okuyasu threatened. "Don't think lying is gonna save you." He told him.
"Just you wait you fucking idiot, you're still under the effect of my Stand! You may have power through it but you won't survive the next attack!" Joey thought, gritting his teeth.
"I'm not gonna ask again, where is your partner?" Okuyasu asked in a threatening manner.
The blood covered punk couldn't see a cord coming from the ceiling and wrapped it around his neck, he gasps and quickly tries to free himself with The Hand but Killjoy stops him. He felt his oxygen getting cut off, he struggled and thrashed his body around to get loose.
"How's that, bastard!? Not so high and mighty now, are ya!?" Joey said, pointing a finger at the punk. "You gave him a scare but my Stand is an unstoppable force that won't stop until their target dies."
Okuyasu only continued to struggle to break free, he was beginning to lose consciousness from the lack of oxygen. His body began to grow limp, his eyes became blurry, he was losing energy, this whole time he let the adrenaline keep him going and left the rest with sheer willpower. Now it seems like he was done for, for real this time.
"D-Dammit… so this is it… this is how… I die." Okuyasu thought, his mind slowly going blank. "If… I could do… one last thing… it would be to apologise, to you all… girls." He thought, gasping.
In times of great extreme situations, unexpecting things have happened. When Stand Users are pushed to the brink they either have explosive growth in their spiritual potential or persuade. Okuyasu couldn't focus so he did see when the right hand of his Stand began to be surrounded by a dark green aura, the bulbs on the palm sparked a bit and unleashed a small blast in the form of a dark green orb that cut through the cable and freed him. Okuyasu fell to the floor and grunted in pain, he snapped the cable off and took in a deep breath of air and cough but oxygen made it to his brain and he was able to function once more.
Joey looks at him in shock and frantically backs away, Okuyasu slowly picks himself up and gives him a terrifying glare that pierce right into his soul.
"That was a good last effort, too bad it just caused you a severe ass-whopping." Okuyasu said in a deep and husky voice that was full of anger.
Joey let out a squeal of fright as Okuyasu called out The Hand by his side and within an instant he was in front of the punk Stand User. Killjoy appeared once more to kill him but with a wipe of his right hand, he erased them all. He grabs Joey by his throat and picks him up and gets nice and close to his face with intense glare and his bloody face makes him all the more terrifying. The punk punched him in the face and gave him a bloody nose, Joey let out a squeal of pain as he clenched his nose.
"I'm gonna ask you one more time, where the hell is your partner?" Okuyasu asked him, raising his fist once more. "Or I'm gonna break every bone in your body." He threatened.
"I-I don't know! I honestly don't know where they are! They left the room to save their own hide!" Joey cried out in fear.
Okuyasu's eyes were shadowed, he dropped Joey and looked like he was taking a minute to think things over, the young Stand User slowly crawled away in hope of getting away from the frightening punk but then his phone rang and both paused for a moment. Okuyasu slowly turned to face Joey while said tech-head was pale as a sheet.
"What are you waiting for? Answer it." Okuyasu told him.
Joey did as he was told out of fear and answered the phone and a familiar voice was at the other end.
*Hey, did you finish the job yet? Or is that punk still breathing? Because if so then that means I'll have to get involved and finish him off. I didn't go through all the effort of wrecking his reputation so that we could get him alone and kill him.* His partner told him. *Hello? Are you there? Come on, answer! Ugh, whatever. I'm only going to assume that you fail and I have to clear up your mess.* They said, hanging up.
Okuyasu widened his eyes a bit and then a more serious look on his face, Joey was sweating bullets and was pale as a sheet. He cracked his knuckles and glared fiercely at the young man and walked up to him. A few painful screens along with the sound of pummeling later, the door was flung out as a body was sent flying out and through a window! In a tree not too far from the window, Joey's body was seen in one, his face was bloody and bruised all over while his body was limp and broken.
Okuyasu was walking through the door, he was panting and looked close to passing out. He limped his way to the nurse's office, the moment the nurse opened the door they let out a scream of shock and passed out. Okuyasu let out a sigh and looked through for anything, he found a few rolls of bandages along with rubbing alcohol. He took off his jacket and shirt along with the makeshift weapons and poured the rubbing alcohol all over his body and emptied the whole bottle, he let out a grunt of pain and then wiped off the blood from his wounds and wrapped up his body with bandages until his whole body was covered. He put shirt and jacket back on, even though it was covered in blood and shredded up but it was better than walking around covered in bandages.
"Damn this hurts. But at least I stop the bleeding." Okuyasu thought, holding Joey's phone.
He dial up the second enemy Stand User, the phone rang and they picked up.
*Is that you? About time you called back. I call you and get nothing but silences, so is the enemy taking care of the enemy? Yes or no?* They asked.
"No, he's kicked your partner's ass and now is coming right for you." Okuyasu told them. "So if you want me, come and get me. Because the moment I see you, I'm gonna smash your face in." He said, then crushed the phone with his bare hand.
Okuyasu let out a sigh and winced in pain a bit, he was still injured and going to pick a fight after barely surviving his last one, it wasn't his best move but he wanted to get more answers and give the Stand User that took his identity a serious and painful beating.
"That move from before, when I was about to die… was that me?" Okuyasu thought, looking at his right hand. "Is there more to my right hand than I believe?" He thought, opening and closing his right hand.
School was almost over and Okuyasu was sitting in the cafe, he wished that he would ask Joey more questions like what his partner looked like and what their Stand Ability was fully. He get up and simply walked out of the cafe and was going to head home.
"Hey Okuyasu!" A familiar voice shouted.
He turned and saw it was Barbara Gorden, Okuyasu raised a brow and was more cautious this time.
"Hey Babs… what's up?" Okuyasu asked her.
"I need your help with something, it is really important." Barbara told him.
"What kind of something?" Okuyasu asked her firmly. "Why not ask the others? Y'know, sense I'm lower than scum and all now." He said in a bitter tone.
"I understand that… it's "rough" for you at the moment… but I-I'm mean, you wouldn't really do something like that, right?" Barbara asked him.
"Of course not." Okuyasu told her. "Never in a million years."
"Okay, then can you help me? As one friend to another, we are friends, right?" Barbara asked him.
Okuyasu looked at Barbara closely, he tried to see some kind of hidden intention or lack of emotion of any kind but he couldn't, in the end she let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair.
"Yeah, we are." Okuyasu told her in a more soft tone.
Babs gave him a smile and Okuyasu smiled back, the punk followed the ginger girl all the way to the cafeteria and was confused on why they were here. He turned to Babs and all she did was smile back at him, something wasn't right.
"Babs… what did you need help with?" Okuyasu asked her.
"Just a small thing." Bab told him, her smile still on her face.
"What kind of thing?" Okuyasu said, his tone more firm.
"This…" Babs told him.
The ginger girl was within his range in second and knees him in the gut, first making him gasp and falling to his knees in pain then she grabbed him by the throat with both hands and started choking him out. Okuyasu struggled to get her off him but her strength wasn't that of a young teen girl it was off the charts.
"Shit! This isn't Babs… I can't believe I was tricked again!" Okuyasu thought, feeling his air get cut off.
The punk was getting light headed and attacked quickly and called out his Stand to attack, it threw a fast punch right to her face but Barbara managed to catch the blow, Okuyasu looked at her in shock and it confirmed that this wasn't Babs but some kind of Stand. Okuyasu didn't want to have to do this if he could help because of the fact he was trying to have a low cover and the damage that was caused but he had no choice, Okuyasu call forth The Hand: I Shall Unleash and blast the fake Barbara with added space, this cause the hold to be broken free and sent her into a wall. Okuyasu coughs and rubs his throat, this Stand wasn't something to be taken lightly, a bruise had formed around his throat it didn't even look like it was trying.
"Its strength is no joke, I bet it would give Crazy Diamond a run for its money." Okuyasu thought, getting to his feet.
Cracks form around the face of the fake Barbara, she now had a blank look on her face and got up like a robot instead of a human. Okuyasu ready himself as it lunge right at him, it attack him with a combo of punches and kicks that he barely able to block with the insane speed that on par with his and was pushing him back, the fake Barbara kick his Stad cross the face and he felt his right cheek flare up in pain, he grits his teeth and counters with a strong punch to the cracks on the faker's face and knocks them to the floor, leaving a dent in it. The fake get up and reveal more crack that begin to fall off the face and reveal a for white spots, the Stand jump hit Okuyasu right the face with a dropkick, he was sent flying into a few tables , he spat up blood and grabs his nose winch when he put it back in place. He sees the fake rush at him and throws a few tables at it to slow them down but they smash them with a simple punch and goes for his chest, aiming to smash his heart. Okuyasu kicked up a table and added space, blasting the fake back into the wall once and part of their face fell off and revealed a blank white space with a black dot eye.
Okuyasu was right, it wasn't the real Barbara Gorden. The fake get out the wall once and charge at him, Okuyasu thought up a plan and acted on it, he pick up two tables and throw it at the fake while using one as cover, the fake smashes the table to piece and aim for the one that was used as cover, only to reveal that the punk was gone and a hole had taken his place the fake as about to check but was then hit directly in the back and slams into the floor, it was Okuyasu that did it. He had planted both of his feet into the fake's back and finished up by adding 10 layers of space and blasting it farther into the floor.
Okuyasu backs away and looks at the fake, it tries to get up but it's spine was damaged in the attack and couldn't move properly, it looks like a broken doll. Okuyasu walks up and narrows his eyes at the fake, he calls his Stand and has it raise its foot above it's head. He looked away and smashed it into pieces! He saw it was nothing more than a hollow copy, it faded into mist and disappeared.
"Was it really a Stand or something else?" Okuyasu asked himself. "Either way, today has been a long one… I was hoping to learn more but I guess that will have to wait."
"It's far from being over, big fellow." a male voice said from behind the lunch counter.
Okuyasu turned and saw a classic pretty boy, shiny blond hair, blue eyes, and fair white skin, he was wearing a button up blue shirt with stars on it and stylish white pants and black dress shoes. This guy was going to get on his nerves, he narrowed his eyes at them and slowly got to his feet.
"Who the hell are you?" Okuyasu asked him. "I'm guessing you're the fucker behind all the shit I was framed for." He said with a sneer.
"Indeed. So you defeated Joey, no big deal real if I'll be honest." The blonde said, checking his nails and ignoring Okuyasu's question.
"Your next." Okuyasu threatened. "Now who the fuck are you?" He growled.
"Since you're in a critical condition and are about to die, it doesn't really matter that you know. Alexander, Alexander Rechheart." He told Okuyasu.
"You make it sound like you can handle me, I can promise that won't be the case." Okuyasu told him.
"Big talk means very little when you can barely stand, at best it's just bravo. Act tough all you want it won't save you, sense Joey failed I'll have to fix his mistake." Alexander said, not even bothered by Okuyasu's threat.
Okuyasu had enough of this guy and called forth The Hand and went in for the attack by throwing a punch aimed right for the guy's face but a figure shield him from the blow. Okuyasu saw a tall and lean figure that was completely white, it looked like a mannequin and had a mirror on its face.
"Say hello to my Stand, The Imposter." Alexander said with a smirk. "Like I said before, this won't take long."
Okuyasu had The Hand attack with a barrage of punches but The Imposter was able to block everyone with ease and counter with two swift punches to the chest, the blows knock Okuyasu back a bit and cough up blood. The blow were much stronger then the fake Babs was and he felt that a rib or two had been crack, he grit his teeth and continue to fight back with punch after punch but The Imposter was able to block and counter with blow after blow, matching his The Hand's speed and outdoing it in strength even if by a little. Okuyasu tries to scrape it away by his right hand but The Imposter caught the right hand and delivers a strong punch right to the gut of his Stand, reflecting the damage onto Okuyasu and caused him to spat up blood and stagger back in pain, The Imposter didn't let up and delivers a few hits to the face and knock him back, Okuyasu grunt in pain and fall to his knees.
"My Stand is far stronger and faster than yours even if you were in a bad state I still outclass you." Alexander told him.
Okuyasu was panting and was in a lot of pain, his body was already badly damaged from before and now he was in more damage and low on energy. Alexander walked right up to him getting within his range but it didn't matter because even if he tried to attack his Stand could match his speed and block.
"Damn it…" Okuyasu cursed.
"It's over for you, such a shame. To die with your reputation in shambles and all your friends hating you." Alexander said in a mocking tone.
"I'm guessing your Stand ability had something to do with that, let me guess you made a fake version of me?" Okuyasu said, spitting up blood.
"You somewhat close, The Imposter is able to make a complete replication of anyone it sees and infuse the copy with a piece of its own strength. Another upside is that the copies don't feel any pain and are more durable." Alexander told him. "But they lack proper function and are valuable to quick thinking."
"So that's how it works. That explains Babs and Karen, they're won't the real deal but fakes." Okuyasu thought. "And if the fakes share the same strength as the Stand does that mean it shares the same weakness?" He thought, looking at The Imposter.
Okuyasu knew he couldn't out do the Stand in an upfront assault but that didn't mean he could catch it by surprise, he really didn't want to do this but it was his only chance.
"You know, I was really pissed when I found out there was a copy of me doing sick shit that I would never do but what pissed me off more is because of the fact that it leads to people I consider my friends hating me." Okuyasu said in a firm tone. "Now… I have a chance to pummel the shit out of the guy that framed me, it really puts a smile on my face." He said with an angry smile.
Alexander thought it was more of Okuyasu's bravo then the punk opened his mouth and bit down hard on his own tongue! It causes him to bleed and grunt in pain, Alexander couldn't understand why he would do that but that's far from over because Okuyasu gets to his feet and sprays blood out his mouth, this causes Alexander to freak out as he guards his face.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Alexander shouted.
Okuyasu called out The Hand and had it throw him over the pretty boy and Alexander thought he was going to throw another punch but instead Okuyasu activated The Hand: I Shall Unleash and hit him with added space and blast him into a wall. Alexander used The Imposter to block but the power was still strong enough to get through and damage him, he spat up blood and wiped it off his lips and looked pissed. His body was shaking a bit, Okuyasu scraped away space and pulled him back in and added space once again, he did this again, and again, and again. Alexander cough up blood and fall to his knees, he was panting and taken a bit of damage but compare to Okuyasu it wasn't much, he was about to go again but he spat up blood and collapse on his knees, the ability of adding and scrape away space was too taxing on his body. Alexander gets up to his feet and glares at Okuyasu, the punk met with his own glare, Okuyasu picks himself up and walk up to the pretty boy and both call out their Stand to attack, both were equal in speed and slammed their fists against each other, the attack with barrage of punches that they met blow for blow. The clash of blows last for a while until Okuyasu change it up with a kick to thigh but The Imposter blocked and delivers a direct blow to the face of his Stand and the reflect off of Okuyasu, he grunted in pain and stagger back and that left and opening for the copy Stand to assault with a barrage of punches that Okuyasu had to block. He was being pushed back and wasn't sure he could hold out for long, he endured it and waited for an opening but the blows just kept coming and coming, Okuyasu's body reached the point where it could no longer maintain his Stand full form and faded, he was knocked to the floor.
"Well, I'll be honest, you surprised me. You put up more of a struggle than I thought you would." Alexander said, getting ready to cave the punk's head in.
The Imposter throws a kill punch right for his head, Okuyasu overlaps his right arm with his Stand's arms and blocks the blows then overlaps his leg with his Stand and counter with a kick to the thigh, doing a bit of damage. Alexander winces and counters with a barrage of blows but Okuyasu blocks and parries the punches as best as he could with his arms that were coated with the arms of his Stand and delivers any counter knee to the abdomen of The Imposter which causes the damage to reflect on Alexander, making gasp in pain. Alexander grits his teeth and delivers a strong punch but Okuyasu blocks once more but sends skidding back, the punk was panting and clearly winded so how could he still fight?
"It looks like all the training with Diana actually paid off." Okuyasu thought, panting and in a lot of pain. "This fighting style isn't even close to complete and I barely know the basics but if I watch him carefully and focus on switching from defense to offense I can catch him off guard and wear him down bit by bit." He thought, raising his fist to his face and keeping a firm foot stance.
Alexander was done playing and attack the punk with powerful barrage of punches, Okuyasu block and parry as best as he could and a few blow landed, getting him in the chest, left shoulder, right forearm, and left side of the torso, Okuyasu kept his breathing steady and wait for a opening and landed a right punch to the face of the Stand, making Alexander wince in pain and get frustrated and kick him away but the punk block with his arms once more and counter with a swift kick to the kneecap, The Imposter attack with a rush of punches but Okuyasu parries them and does his first combo of punches to the face and chest of the Stand in four direct strikes, dealing some damage and making Alexander growls in anger and hits Okuyasu with a strong kick that is barely able to block and sends flying and lands on a lunch table, breaking it in the process and causing the punk to grunt in pain.
"What the hell is going on? How is he still fighting!?" Alexander thought, spitting up blood. "He should be at the brink of falling apart, he can't even call out his Stand anymore!" He thought, not understanding.
Okuyasu spit up a bit of blood and got to his feet, he wiped blood off his lips and took his fighting stance once more, Alexander narrowed his eyes at the punk and was done messing around with him. Okuyasu felt pretty good about this fight and made the first move, he throws a right punch with his arm overlapping with his Stand's arm but The Imposter block and hit him in the right cheek, the pain and power behind felt familiar and sent him to the floor, he grunted in pain.
"Shit! What the hell!?" Okuyasu thought, clenching his bruised cheek. "Did it get stronger? No, this is something else." He thought.
"Did that hurt? Does it feel familiar? I hope so." Alexander said, walking up to him. "Any other ability of The Imposter is replicating the pain one might have felt, if I remember Kara Denvors gave you quite the sucker punch, it looks like it hurt a lot." He told Okuyasu.
"Shit… I need to be careful." Okuyasu thought, slowly getting to his feet.
His eyesight got blurry and he got weak in the legs and took a knee, Alexander had The Imposter attack Okuyasu with a kick but the punk was able to block with his arms, he gritted his teeth from the force and was now struggling again. Okuyasu backed away and got to his feet, he was panting and moved his mouth around a bit and spit out some blood. Alexander was on the attack and throws more strikes at Okuyasu but the punk block and parries them and counter with a right kick but The Imposter blocks and throws a counter punch so Okuyasu has to block once more with one arm and counter with a firm punch to the chest of the Stand, making Alexander wince a bit. As the fight went on Okuyasu and Alexander continue to exchange blows and each block or dodge, Okuyasu throws another punch but Alexander block and delivers the same copying punch that matches Kara's strength but Okuyasu block with his right arm but the force was too much for him and sent his skidding across the floor, he wince in pain and felt the bone might had been cracked. Okuyasu gritted his teeth and counter with a firm kick to the torso, making Alexander grunt in pain from the attack, the pretty boy had The Imposter delivers a kick but Okuyasu is able to parry it and attack with another combo of punches, this time landing six strikes to the chest, these were more precise and dealt more damage the before.
"Dammit, this punk is tougher than he looks." Alexander thought, backing away.
"My body won't hold out much longer… it's a miracle it's lasted this long." Okuyasu thought, trying to keep his breath steady but was heavily panting. "I need to end this, now!" He thought, planning to make the next blow a direct one.
Okuyasu took his fighting stance once more and kept a close eye on Alexander's movement. The pretty boy had his Stand getting ready to strike Okuyasu with a death blow, both Stand Users charge at each other and throw their attacks! Okuyasu coated his limb and throws a straight right punch aim right for the chin Alexander has The Imposter block and throw the replicating punch and lands a blow on his face making Okuyasu get knock back a bit and get daze a bit, which left him open for another strong punch right to his chest, a crunch was heard and as Okuyasu was knock back, he spat out blood and was now wheezing, he was clutching his chest in great pain. He could feel it, his sternum was damaged in that last punch, it was likely that it was cracked but the pain was intense and he wasn't going to last much longer. Okuyasu tries to keep a firm feeting but Alexander has enough and delivers three strong kicks to his left legs, a cracking sound was made as Okuyasu ket a cry of pain and fell to his knee, he right leg was broken, he grits his teeth and tries to get up but Alexander hit him with a combo of punches to his chest, breaking some of his ribs and fracturing his sternum more, Okuyasu fall to the floor, on his knees.
"This fight has been fun and all and you're definitely were a challenging one but the fight is over." Alexander told Okuyasu, who was still trying to fight. "Just give up and accept your loss and death with some grace." He said, annoyed.
Okuyasu merely spit blood at him, getting his shirt stained with his blood. Alexander narrows his eyes in anger and unleashes a barrage of punches at Okuyasu in response to his defiants. Okuyasu guards his body as best as he could by coating his arms with his Stand's arms and blocks them but the barrage of punches just keep coming, Okuyasu grits his teeth as he feel his arms grow numb and swell up with pain, he tank as much as he could but the blows just kept coming and his arms could no longer handle and more, they get fracture and damage from the blows and Okuyasu knock back all the while to lunch counter. His vision is blurry and there's a ringing in his ears, his body was battered and broken and lost a lot of blood, gave it his all but it was the end.
"Damn… so this is it…? Man… this sucks…" Okuyasu thought, his mind seeing everything in slow motion. "I guess I was strong enough… sorry Jotaro… Josuke...I let ya down." He thought, thinking of his old friend but then he thought about all his time with the girls, his new friends. "Sorry girls… wish I could prove to you all… that I wasn't a piece of shit, guess I won't get the chance now." He thought.
Alexander was standing over Okuyasu, he had his Stand raise it's hand and was going to decapitate Okuyasu, the punk could feel his death approaching and wonder how if this is how he wanted to end?
Flashback
Okuyasu was looking over a scar on his shoulder that he got in his fight with Kira, it looked like a burnt star. He thought over the close call he had, he could have died if he wasn't careful and was lucky to be alive. Luck, that was something he couldn't understand, how was such a cold blooded monster like Kira so lucky but he was the one that was given the short end of the stick, he wished some luck would come his way but in a way, it was a good thing that it did. Because of the unlucky life and situation he was put through it made him tougher in the long run and more grateful in life, like his news friends; specifically Barbara Gorden.
"Okuyasu! Can you help me with something?" Barbara said, catching up with him as they left the school.
"Sure, what do you need?" Okuyasu asked her.
"I have an amazing idea for building a hideout, but the materials are a bit too heavy for me." Barbara told him.
"Sure." Okuyasu told her,
She was someone the punk wasn't expecting to see, she was so full of energy and life, so cheery, she was always excited and had a good-heart. She comes out of nowhere and appears in the punk's life and pulls him into a life completely new and unknown. At first he felt pretty unlucky because he was on a mission but it was because of that unluckiness that he made new friends, who he held dear. He held his friendship with her dear and valued it. It pissed him off that Alexander not only framed him but also used Barbara as a way to catch him off guard.
"Hey Okuyasu, you have time to hang out?" Babara asked him, a friendly smile on her face.
"Yeah, I guess." Okuyasu answered.
The two were hanging out at Sweet Justice, he was eating an ice cream cake sundae while Babs was eating a triple fudge sundae. The punk was enjoying the frozen treat and his time with his new friend and vice versa for Babs.
"Okuyasu, mind if I ask you a question?" Babs asked him.
"Sure, whatcha want to know?" Okuyasu asked her.
"Well… how did you get those scars on your face?" Babs asked him.
"There?" Okuyasu said, touching his face scars. "These are old, I got them when I was younger. I got in a fight with some thugs, they jumped me and tried to beat me up but I kicked all their asses. It was a fight of one against six, and I won. But I got careless, one of them had a knife and came at me, I smashed their face in but they still cut me up a bit." He told her. "If it was before I got The Hand, it hurt like hell but I got a cool scar out of it."
"Dang, that sounds pretty bad. Talk about bad luck but you may it out, which I'm glad about." Babs told him. "Well you are right, those scars look pretty cool." She said, smiling at him.
"T-Thanks." Okuyasu said, looking away with a blush.
That's right, he doesn't need something like luck. His unluckiness was what made him tough, it was what made him strong, and he was tough because he pushed on when things got hard. He would always come back when things got tough, he was going to push on and become stronger.
"Farewell, half dead fool." Alexander said, bring down his hand.
Okuyasu dug deep within himself and pulled out whatever strength he had left, he put all his power into his right leg and jumped back to above the attack and over the lunch counter, he wasn't fast enough so his face got hit, his left eyes and side of his face got a small cut from downward chop. Making him wince in pain but being able to survive, instead of facing him head on the punk retreat to the kitchen. Alexander let out a frustrated sigh at the punk stubbornness, he looked around for the punk but somehow he was able to hide himself well. He hear a clicking sound and turn to only seeing the stove being turn on with frying pan on it, he was confuse and approach it, and while he was distracted, kitchen knives were through at him, he smash it with The Imposter and and hear something running, he follow it and only saw pots and pans, he look around for Okuyasu but saw nothing, then two bags of flour were thrown right at him, he took care of them with his Stand but created a smokescreen, Alexander was expecting Okuyasu to appear and when he saw a silhouette of something he reacted by attacking, thinking it was Okuyasu! His Stand attacks nothing but jugs of cooking oil, they spill all over his clothes.
"Whatever hell!? You have to be kidding me!?" Alexander shouted in anger. "Show yourself, Okuyasu Nijimura! You can't think hiding and messing with my head will work, right!? And I know you haven't left the room, you can no longer use your Stand or get far with your broken leg!" He shouted.
It remains quiet, he growls and continues searching for Okuyasu, he smashes open and kicks down anything that could be used as a hiding place, he hears claddering and turns and sees a few bottles knocked over, he glares at them and stomps on them. He was growing more frustrated and kept searching the whole place, tearing up most of the school kitchen up in order to find the punk Stand User. It's not like the punk could have disappeared, right? Then where was he!?
"It is obviously a trick, he knows that with his damaged body that he can stand a chance against me. He's just trying to mess with me, right? Could he have tricked me into wasting my time here and escaping? How!? He can't erase things anymore and smashing down walls or the floor would be out of the question." Alexander thought, trying to make sense of this.
He noticed the stove was still on and went to turn it off but he saw the frying pan was missing and was confused on why, before he could come to a conclusion, a knife and throw right at him but he able to deflect it but then a open bag of flour it throw right to the ceiling, making another smokescreen but nothing come out, just then he hit across the face by something and feel a burning pain, it was revealed to be Okuyasu, he was holding the frying pain and it was burning hot. Alexander screamed in pain as he held his face, the right side of hit saw he opened his left eyes and saw Okuyasu, he called out The Imposter and it throws a punch, Okuyasu blocks with the frying pain but is knocked back.
"M-My… my face, you burned my fucking face! You'll… pay for that!" Alexander shouted in pure hate, the right side of eye and cheek were burnt from hot metal.
"All I did was even the playing field." Okuyasu said calmly, panting.
"Your fukcing die, I'm going to fucking kill you!" Alexander shouted.
"Then do it, if you can." Okuyasu said, in a calm tone.
Alexander let out a battle cry and charge forward with his Stand at the ready, Okuyasu dug into his pocket and throw a mix of broken glass and flour into the pretty boy's face, he let shout of disbelief and begin rubbing his eyes, Okuyasu take this chance to hit him with a punch, he follow up with more, hitting him in the face again and again and follow up with a punch to the gut, making Alexander grunt in pain and he scream in rage and lashed out with a barrage of punches but the punk back away to avoid it, Okuyasu channel whatever Stand power he has summons the right arm of his Stand and has it throw the frying pain right at his left kneecap, shattering it and causing Alexander a leg, he scream in pain and fall to his knees. Okuyasu limps forward and first slams his elbow right on top of his head then grabs him and knees him in the face, knocking him to the floor. Okuyasu take this chance to really lay into him, punching him over and over again, bruising and bloodying his face but he doesn't just take it and call forward The Imposter to throw Okuyasu off him, tossing him into a wall the punk grunt in pain but is alright. Alexander opens his eye and has blurry vision and a headache but is fine, just royal pissed.
"You're going to regret that." Alexander sneered.
Okuyasu remains quiet and merely glares back, this had to end. Okuyasu's body was still injured and badly in need of medical help. Alexander get up and has a limp now, he had look of bloodlust for the state he was in thanks to Okuyasu, the punk grabs a knife and lunges at Alexander, thinking he going to stab him but instead throws it, he deflect it and saw Okuyasu charges at him and shoulder slam into him but Alexander counter with a replicating punch trite side of his jaw at full force, a crunch is head and Okuyasu wince in pain, his jaw slightly crack now but he pull out a meat tenderizer and smash it against the temple of the face. In daze from the pain Okuyasu uses the latest of his Stand power to activate The Hand: I Shall Unleash and overlaps his left hand and hits Alexander directly in the chest, knocking back into a wall. He spat out blood and fell to the floor, defeated and with his chest and ribcage severely damaged.
Okuyasu was panting and wincing in pain, he limped forward, grabbed his phone and called the police. At that point the school bell rang and that was the end of school, Okuyasu let out a long and exhausted sigh, he limped out of the kitchen and cafeteria. He didn't really care for the look he got from the students as they saw the state he was in, doubting they care. He didn't see the girls in sight, believing they left without him. He was tired and in a lot of pain, all he wanted to do was black out but trunk on to home or a hospital but luck just wasn't on his side today.
"Well well, look what we got here? Seems like someone is having a bad day, how about we make it worse, boy?" A voice said, Okuyasu turned and saw the same mohawk guy from before, this time with his nose fixed up.
Okuyasu saw that he had doubled the men from before, all with the same three headed dog tattoo, he merely limped away but got light headed and fell against a stop sign. He was panting heavily and trying to get his thoughts together. The thugs smirk at ths, thinking he was a easy target, the mohawk guy pulls out a switch blade and walk up to Okuyasu, as the punk is getting up the thug take a swing at him but missed and get punch right in the nose once, it getting broke again.
"Damn… today has been crappy… My mood is shitty… so bring it." Okuyasu said, wincing from the hurt jaw. "I have no problem… beating you up again…" He said, pulling out the stop sign and pointing it at them like a sword.
The gang of thugs let out a battle cry and charge right at him, Okuyasu treats it like a bat and swings it at all of them with fire of determination and rage in his eyes!
Meanwhile, at Sweet Justice the group of super teens were trying to have a good time but something was missing more like someone but they refused to talk about it. Barbara was picking at her food and wished to talk to the punk but Kara and Jessica were still mad at him.
She spaced out and thought of whatever came to mind but the punk was the only thing that she thought of, it just didn't make sense to her. She liked to believe she was a good judge of character and Okuyasu seemed like an honest person, a little rough and tough around the edges sure but an honest guy, she acted like a goofball but her intelligence and detective skill were top notch and the evidence didn't match up with the proof.
*Breaking news, a teenage delinquent badly injured in a fight against the Devil Hounds!* A new report said, and it revealed Metropolis High and a few feet away were the battered and bruised bodies of the gang member. *The fight seemed to be intense and almost one sided with every member badly beaten but alive the young man himself was found in the middle of this in a critical condition and is now being shipped to the hospital as we speak!* The report said, and it was revealed to Okuyasu! He was on a stretcher and unconscious, he had a breathing mask. *The only witness was a passing group of students. Tell me, what happened?* They asked.
*It was a total massacre! They never stood a chance, the guy looked pretty bang up before he had fought them but even so, he attacked like a wild animal! Swing the stop sign left and right without mercy!* The student explained. "By the end of it, it was over. He threw up some blood and fell to his knees, passing out.*
*There you have it. A young man badly injured and at the verge of blacking out still manages to take out members of Devil Hounds and win, whether he'll live is hard to tell.* The reporter said, and that was it.
A few people were silent, most from shock other from disbelief. But for the six teen girls, it was a mix of shock, disbelief, and horror. Barbara thought she felt her heart stop for a moment at the sight of the punk, Diana was pure shock for the fact Okuyasu was in a critical condition, Karen was horrified because she saw him earlier and those were the same thugs that approach before, Zatanna had a hand over her mouth in shock at the sight, Jessica was both shocked and horrified for the shape the punk was in and thought about the stuff she said to him, Kara was in disbelief and felt like shit for punching.
"I-I have to go…!" Barbara said, getting up and leaving.
She needed to see if he was alright, he had to be! Barbara hopped on her motor scooter and bolted right to the hospital. She really hoped Okuyasu was alright, she really did, because she wouldn't know what to do if he wasn't.
Done! Things look bad for Okuyasu, can he pull it through this? And what of his reputation? Wait and find out. What do you think? Review me your answer and thanks for the support!
Peace!
