Powerslave Part 2:
The stand Powerslave featured in this chapter is the creation of Youtuber Purmello.
Cicierega and Mello systematically observed each other from both sides of the questioning table. Now that Mello had caught on, Cicierega´s original plan of tricking some police officers into doing the dirty work on Mello, then making it look like Shizuka had been pushed to suicide, could still go through, but he needed to be careful.
Powerslave had lost its influence and Mello was on the lookout, so Cicierega decided to manipulate Mello without the Stand. "I could easily kill the girl, you know. If I leave this room, you won't be able to stop me." Cicierega talked through his Stand to avoid the cameras. Threats could push Mello to violence, forcing another cop to interfere.
Mello remained ice cold, despite Powerslave looming in the air above Cicierega, staring down at Mello like an eldritch death god. Luckily, Mello had combed through the SPW-Foundations notes on Stands. "A stand like yours, with such an extremely powerful ability, must be pretty physically weak. Achtung could beat you up without difficulty."
"Oh, physical strength isn't all there is to combat." Powerslave phased through the interrogation rooms wall, and Cicierega's attitude became more relaxed and professional, posing for the cameras. With a monotone voice he went through some questions, and Mello answered. Mello was annoyed, Cicierega's plan was working and he didn't even know what it was, let alone do something about it. He started to secretly produce Pale Sundays, until the process of creating the Sundays nearly put him to sleep.
After an intense five minutes Powerslave returned, and Cicierega started talking through it again. "There. The longer my Stand remains in contact with someone, the more powerful and precise the effect. I just infused the cops in the hallway outside with an incredible determination to kill the prisoner in the holding cell. If they reach the girls, she's either dead or turned into a murderer"
Mello tried to remain cold and calculating, but his affection for his sister-in-arms got the better of him and he rushed into the hallway outside, where he could see the manipulated group of cops. Cicierega chased after and pushed Mello to the ground, but not before Mello threw a ball of Pale Sundays out into the hallway.
Meanwhile Shizuka was planning her escape. Her laser beam was strong, but not strong enough to cut through the metal bars. If a cop came and opened the cell door, she could turn invisible and get past him, but that goddamn Stand user with his mind control would still be in her way.
The cops were rushing through the police station, knocking everything out of their way. Mello's Sundays tried to keep up, jumping off desks and swinging off lamps, but they couldn't catch up, until the rushing cops knocked a much smaller coworker to the ground, and the Sundays saw the opportunity.
They cobbled into a ball, then jumped down on the short man and forced him to throw them with all his might. Just as the horde of mind-controlled murderers smashed through the door to the holding cells, they were knocked unconscious simultaneously. Shizuka was overjoyed.
"Mello! Hell yeah! I'll come and save you, don't worry!" The Sundays immediately hushed Shizuka before she drew even more attention (if that was even possible), before going to search the unconscious cops for a key to the cell. But before they could find anything, they dissipated into puffs of smoke.
Mello struggled to concentrate on Sundays and on Cicierega. During that moment of weakness, Powerslave had regained control. Mellos mind was filled with nothing but burning hatred. He dived towards Cicierega, and seemingly in self defense Cicierega gleefully and sadistically smashed his head with a baton. Mello fell unconscious, and blood started pouring out of the massive, fatal wound on his head.
Cicierega smiled. "Oh, do not try to resist me, criminal. Mine and Hellstrom's justice is the only justice, and that girl will not escape. My condolences to your family."
