As the rest of The Gang is traversing around Cairo, Egypt, currently in Luxor, back in New York, Percival Gaynes was on his way to an important mission. But where?

Percival read the file, as Cy was driving, "Daichi Taira… I've heard of him. Isn't he the promoter for the idol group Star Drop?"

Cy said, "Yeah. Taira is wanted by Fewal Beauty's Most Wan-ned Wist… and #8."

"Ah, he moved up the charts. Listen to these charges: Public Trespassing, Promoting without a permit, vandalism, illegal product placement… And look at this charge! Bank robbery, kidnapping, and false advertisement. Not to mention copyright infringement, stolen property without permission, plagiarism, self-conscious squee love, conduct becoming of a GL guy, jaywalking, littering…"

The car halted, as Percival crashed onto the front of the car. He moaned, "And… assault and battery…"

Cy said, "Sowwy… Wed light…"

They stopped at a red light, as he griped, in annoyance, "HOW DID SHE DO THAT, WITHOUT SEEING THE ROAD?"

His voice echoed, as the car he was riding on was properly on the road. However, it was on the wrong lane. Percival regrabbed the files, as it showed a picture of Daichi, in his brown hair and blank look on his face. He said, "So, this is Taira Daichi… AHEM! Daichi Taira. Anyways, we should be able to find him, somewhere in New York. Cy, any idea where he is located?"

Cy said, "No. But the scannews weveal that he and his lady fwiends are working the nightclub in Ska-neck-iddy."

"Ska-neck-id-? Schenectady?!" Percival gasped, "Taira's in Schenectady!?"

Cy said, "No… He used to be. And then twaveled to Buffa-wo, Albany, Wo-chessa, Bwooklyn, and now in New Yolk Ziddy."

Percival smiled, "So far… I understand…" and shouted, "NOTHING!"

He griped, "If you're going to be helpful, at least speak clearly! I refuse to modify your voice module!"

Cy said, "Dat's fine. You don't hafta, since I'm built to assist ya, widdou fail."

He huffed, "And stop saying widdou, uh, without fail! How can this mission fail?"

Cy replied, "That…"

They were in gridlock, as Percival sighed, "You've never drove a car in America, before, have you?"

Cy said, "No…"

He sighed, "Fine… Take the right lane, when driving a two-lane street."

Cy smiled, "OHHHH, dat's wuddai did wong!"

She drove onto the right lane, as he sighed, "Well, we made it. Just remember to keep your eyes on the road, if you can see, that is. Driving takes eyesight…"

Cy said, "You dwive like SpongeBob."

Percival sighed, "At least I had a license…"

The car continued to drive, heading to their destination, and the criminal: Daichi Taira.


Episode XXVI – Chapter 1: The Star Drop Idols!
Paper Dolls! The Idol Stands!


They arrived at a local club in New York, as Cy said, "This is where Daichi and his gurls are located… Inside…"

Percival looked at the club and said, "Club 58? I see they made a newer club."

He stepped out, as he said, "Cy, let's go. I'll show you how we do things in Feral Beauty."

They went to the entrance, as Cy said, "Lead the way, and do not cause a riot."

He said, "I'll be fine. I haven't blown a mission yet… … …yet I have a track record of failed missions…"

He growled, "Tohru Honda… TOHRU FUCKING HONDA! I cursed that name, until the day I die!"

Cy asked, "Isn't To-wu Honna dead?"

He growled, "She vexes me, even in death. She's the reason we're all in this mess…"

She replied, "Aw, there-there… She's gone forever, and never to come back…"

"NO, but new enemies spawn out, appearing to us, like hives!"

He calmed down and said, "Anyways, we have time to search. Remember, keep an eye out for the guy we're looking for."

Cy replied, "He's last seen inside Cwub Fiddy-eh."

He chuckled, "Ain't it cute?"

They arrived at the entrance, as he said to the bouncer, "Excuse me… Star Drop performing?"

He flashed his badge, "Percival Gaynes, Feral Beauty… This is my partner, uh…"

Cy introduced herself, "Cy Tokakushi, Fewa Beauty…"

The bouncer let them in, as Percival said, "Tokakushi?"

They walked to the table, and sat down. He said, "So, any idea when Star Drop is performing?"

Cy said, "Unsure. I'm not used to pop music."

Percival said, "I forgot. You're in your Day 1 job performance."

They waited, as three girls stepped onto the stage. The PA announced, "And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome three beautiful girls you can fall in love with: Star Drop Stand!"

Percival said, "Huh? Star Drop Stand? That's a cool name."

The center girl, in a frilly red idol outfit, with long pink hair, done in along ponytail and a red bow, posed to the crowd, "Hello, everyone~! I am Sosogu Hoshifuri~!"

A girl in long blonde hair, wearing a green idol outfit and called, "I'm Korona Yuhi."

A girl in blue hair, in her blue outfit, called to the audience, "And I'm Shizuku Tsukino~!"

They cheered, "…and we're Star Drop Stand!"

Music played, as they sang their hit song "Twinkling Star".

NOTE: By the way, in case you're wondering, these girls are from the anime "Pop Team Epic". Yes, I know it's from a fake anime within an anime, which later became an anthology manga, but they deserve more air time than Popuko and Pipimi. They're also called "Drop Stars", instead of Star Drop. My bad.

(Star Drop Stand): Please! Remember-ah-ah!
Sorry for wait, boys and girls!

(Sosogu): It is an idol, who's the number of stars!
(Korona): I'll go, with the guts!
(S.D.S.): That's it about, Star Drop Stand!

(Shizuki): Please get out of our way, through the melody!
(Sosogu): Look at it, it hangs around!
(S.D.S.): Boom, boom, boom, boom!

They continued singing, as Percival said, "Reminds me of Asahi Sakurai's career… before joining us. Since she left her idol career, she's become a rocker in America. And since then, after a botched mission, she met Chazz Princeton. But still… The existence of Spirit Callers… it baffles me. I know this isn't Tohru Honda's evil work, but…"

He thought, as he was looking backstage, "Daichi Taira… Just who is he?"

Cy asked, "Sir, confused. But these gurls are pewfectly in unison, while they pose like dolls."

Percival said, "I don't see a problem with that. I bet you pose like a doll."

Cy smiled, "Well, if you'd like, you can dwess me up."

Percival said, "Pass. You're an O.S. Sai, not a dress-up doll."

Cy pouted, "Well, I'm not fer dwess-up… I'm a useful andwoid device, widdou fail."

The music ended, as Percival said, "They're done. What say we have a word with these girls?"

They walked together, as they went to the backstage area. A bald bouncer with a beard called, "Hold it! Do you have access to backstage?"

Percival flashed his badge and said, "Percival Gaynes, FBI… I wish to speak with Daichi Taira and his idol group, Star Drop Stand. This is my partner, Cy Tokakushi."

Cy bowed, "Hewwo~!"

The security guard said, "Sir, what brings you to him? Do you have clearance?"

Percival barked, "I need no stinking clearance! I am clearance! No, wait… Lemme start again. I happen to know Mr. Taira, via the Feral Beauty files. He's a wanted criminal, and I wish to speak to him, personally. Now, move."

The guard halted him, "Sir, Star Drop Stand is preparing for their next performance in five. Do not disturb them."

Percival growled, "Damn it, you!"

Cy called, "Sir, please calm down."

He growled, as he stepped back, "Fine. Lemme speak to him, right away… But give me a minute, first."

The guard said, "Sir, I think you should leave."

Percival was annoyed, as he was about to lose it. Cy whispered, "Sir, tone yourself… Your blood is rising…"

He calmed down and said, "One moment. I'm not leaving, without Mr. Taira."

He turned to Cy, "Hey, you're a combat droid?"

Cy replied, "Not really. But I am programmed with a Defense Protocol."

He said, "Think you can subdue this loser for me? He's starting to piss me off."

Cy beeped, "Ninja Mode or Grappler Mode?"

"Eh?"

"Ninja Mode is fatal blows… Use as directed, and with warning…"

"Uh, too messy. Knock him out."

"Understood. Defense Protocol – Level 2."

"Level 2?"

"Level 3 will knock you out for days."

"Alright, fine…"

He said, as the guard was annoyed, "Sir, I'll give you one last chance. Let me in, or else!"

The guard said, "Sir, you did not understood me. I said that you two have to leave."

Percival smiled, "Fair enough."

He roared, "SIC HIM, CY!"

Cy roared, as she tackled the guard, using her grappling style. She tackled him down, breaking his spine, and knocking him out with a chop to the neck. She calmed down, as Percival said, "Sweet dreams."

He walked passed him, and said, "Good work, Cy. But go easy on the holds, next time. I think I heard a bone snap."

Cy said, "Fine. If that happens, I switch to Level 1."

Percival groaned, as he sighed, "Never mind…"

They walked to backstage, as Cy looked around, "Hmm… Daichi Taira's dwessing woom is somewhere. And wher'er he goes, so duz Star Dwop Stand."

He said, "See if you can scan it. You know his face… right?"

Cy scanned the rooms, as she searched for Daichi.


Meanwhile, in Luxor, The Gang, separated from each other, were having a relaxing breakfast… everyone except Yamabuki and Chazz and Asahi, who were waiting for Michelle and Rook to return, but little do they know, they were too busy fighting Yuno Gasai, of the Egyptian Goddess, Bastet.

Yamabuki sighed, "What I wouldn't do for a moment like this…"

She whined, "Where are they? Where the hell are they?"

Asahi sighed, "Even a woman wouldn't take this long to get dressed. Uh, no offense."

Chazz looked at his watch and said, "It's almost nine o'clock. Screw her. Let's just go meet with the others."

He then realized, as Asahi said, "You don't think… They could've encountered another enemy?"

Yamabuki gasped, "WHAT?"

Chazz huffed, "Good grief… Fuck the old hag… Don't bother looking for her."

He walked off, as Asahi yelled, "HEY! What was that for? CHAZZ!"

Yamabuki called, as she saw Yoko, "You wanna come along, Yoko? Cassandra may be waiting for you."

Yoko pranced off with the others, as Asahi moaned, "But I am getting hungry…"

Yamabuki said, "So am I…"

As they were walking, Yoko suddenly turned left. Yamabuki cried, "Hey, where are you going, Yoko?"

Yoko had already left to the alley, as Asahi said, "Forget her… She goes her way, we go our way. Besides, she likes Cassie more than you, Yamabuki."

Yamabuki roared, "I TOLD YOU THAT FUCKING PUSSY'S USELESS!"

Asahi sighed, "Yamabuki…"

Chazz huffed, "Let's go."

Asahi tugged his ear and scolded, "OH, no! We're not going to eat, until we find out what happened to Rook and Miss Nevins! Understand?"

He held his ear, and moaned, "Fine… Jesus Christ, you're such a bitch…"

They decided to walk back to the hotel, to look for Michelle and Rook. Elsewhere, a boy was walking to the sandy beach shore, as he was smiling, thinking he wants to make himself a sand castle.

A woman in long green hair, done in a ponytail, wearing a white priestess robe, was watching them leave. The boy suddenly bumped into her, and soiled her robe with water. The woman growled, "Ew… What is this? Dirty water? All over my uniform…"

She turned to the boy, as he was scared. She smiled, "Oh… Very good… I see you're okay, little boy…"

The boy said, "Oh, forgive me, ma'am. You were in the way, and I didn't know."

The woman smiled and held his head, "Very good. How old are you?"

The boy held his fingers and said, "Four…"

The woman said, "Ah, very good. Where's your father now?"

The boy said, "He's working…"

"Very good. And your mom?"

"She's doing the laundry at home."

"Very good. And you're playing all alone in the park? It is dangerous to come here, all by yourself. I didn't want you to get hurt."

The boy smiled and nodded, but she clutched his shoulder.

"WELL, GOOD! AS PUNISHMENT FOR SOILING YOUR MUDDY WATER ALL OVER MY UNIFORM, I'M GONNA BEAT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF YOU, YOU SNOT-NOSED BRAT!"

She grabbed the boy by the neck, and held her fist high, "If you'd be extra careful, you wouldn't have to soil my uniform! And being four years old, how are you going to pay me back? By washing my robe for me, as your mother will wash it, to make it up for your mistakes? I DON'T THINK SO, BECAUSE SHE'LL THINK OF ME AS A STRANGER! YOU SPOILED SHITSTAIN!"

POW!
She punched the boy. The boy ran home crying, as the woman dusted herself off. She then turned to the distance of where Yamabuki, Chazz, and Asahi were, and smirked evilly.

"While Nevins and Hadigan are busy with Gasai, I, Shion Sonozaki, will be the one to take down Chazz Princeton and Asahi Sakurai! They may be tough, but I'll do what I can to beat them!
Very good, me."

Shion's body was shrouded in shadows, as she was next to fight The Gang.

[Shion Sonozaki – Egyptian God: Sethan]

Shion Sonozaki, one of the World Government's Top 3 wanted serial killers, behind Public Enemy #1: The Sketch Artist Killer. She is a Stand User, hired by Steven Nevins. Her Egyptian God is that of Sethan, the god of storms and violence. Since the Moji Mikisa came to pass, she has a habit of saying "Very Good", once in a while.

XXXXX

They finally arrived at the hotel room. Chazz said, "Stay back, you guys. I'm going in."

Yamabuki smirked, "You do ya think you're talking to?"

He opened the door, as the room was empty. Chazz said, "They're not in here."

Asahi said, "Maybe in the bathroom?"

Yamabuki replied, "Who knows? And it doesn't seem too strange, in this room."

Chazz looked in the bathroom and called, "Rook! Old Hag! You in there?"

He shut the door, as he said, "They're not here…"

Asahi said, "If they had left, they would call us."

She called the number to Scarlet, and asked, "Miss Riley, Agent Sakurai… Has Miss Nevins and Agent Rook come with you guys?"

Scarlet replied, "No, not yet. And where are you idiots? We've already had a delicious breakfast, without you guys! Lemme guess… Did Michelle Nevins suddenly threw her back out?"

Asahi growled, "Miss Riley! Be nice!"

Scarlet sighed, "I'm sorry. But breakfast isn't over, until 11. So, get your asses over here, NOW! Forget Miss Nevins and Rook!"

She hung up, as Yamabuki said, realizing what happened, "I think I know what it is… Chazz, Asahi, I do believe that it's obvious. I think something happened to them."

Chazz nodded, "Right."

XXXXX

Outside, near the streets, Yoko was walking along the alleyway, and started to hear noise. She perched onto a trashcan and wiggled her ears.

"You're so clueless!" Yuno's voice called.

She leapt to the view of Yuno Gasai, fighting Michelle & Rook, while under Yuno's magnetism.

She giggled, and then laughed. She called out, "A Pincers Move?! You think I'm stupid to fall for a stupidly easy trick like that?"

She swung up a dagger, upwards, and roared, "LOOK ABOVE YOU!"

SLASH!
The power lines were slashed off, as live wires began to fly down towards Michelle & Rook.

Michelle cried, "THE POWER LINES?!"

Rook cried, "NO! We forgot! But wires are not metallic!"

Yuno cackled, "NO, BUT THE POWER LINES ARE MAGNETIC!"

The live wires slithered closer, using their magnetic pull. Rook used his cane sword to slash forward the live wires, protecting himself. But Michelle, using Hermit Ghost, latched onto one of the wires, but barely survives. All Yoko could do was watch. She shrugged herself and left.

"I'll admit that Rook here has held his own, but you don't stand a chance, Nevins. The difference between my Divine Bastet and your Hermit Ghost… IS FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN COMPREHEND!"


Back in New York, Percival and Cy found the dressing room, as Percival knocked on the door. He called, "Excuse me, Daichi Taira?"

He called, "DAICHI TAIRA?! OPEN UP!"

Cy said, "Onii-chan! Stay back!"

She opened the door, as a boy in brown hair was sitting in the chair. He called, "Oh? Who are you?"

Percival closed the door and locked it. He said, "Sir, my name is Percival Gaynes, and this is my partner, Cy."

Cy waved to him, "Hewwo."

Daichi said, "Uh, can I help you?"

"You're Daichi Taira, correct?"

"Yeah. I'm their manager, and Sosogu's boyfriend. Why do you ask?"

He flashed his badge, as Cy boomed, "YOU'RE BUSTED!"

Percival said, "Like my friend says… I'm Percival Gaynes – FBI. You're under arrest."

Daichi barked, "On what grounds?"

Percival said, "A lot… We have your rap sheet."

He said, as Daichi stood up, "Seriously? Why do you have to be that demanding?"

Percival boomed, "HEY! I'll ask the questions! Where's Star Drop Stand?"

Daichi said, "They're preparing the next show… but they might not do it, being they have problems…"

Cy asked, "Is he lying?"

She beeped, "OH! Something with a dark aura. What is it?"

Percival glared at him, "Come quietly… We'll give Star Drop Stand another show. But after that, it's their last! Your days as Manager are over!"

Daichi and Percival stared down, as Percival prepared himself. But Sosogu called, "Daichi-kun? What's going on over there?"

She and the others came out, as Daichi said, "Sosogu, please stay in your dressing rooms."

Percival said, "Sosogu Tokofumi?"

Sosogu said, "It's Hoshifuri!"

"So, I'm off. I'm arresting your boyfriend. He's wanted by Feral Beauty's most wanted list… Care to explain this?"

He showed the files to Sosogu, as she was sobbing, "Oh! Daichi-kun? No… Why?"

Daichi moaned, "Please, the waterworks, already?! Calm down!"

Sosogu sniffled, "How could this have happen? You trusted in us, and we suddenly turned into used bait for criminals… Daichi-kun…"

She giggled, "I LOVE YOU!"

She hugged him, as she giggled, "I can't believe it! You'd sink so low to finally make us famous than we were!"

Shizuku and Korona appeared, as Korona smiled, "Aw, Sosogu is happy."

Shizuku said, "Very happy."

Sosogu smiled, "Oh, thank you, sir. You exposed him the truth… But now, we get to perform a private song for you."

They lined up, as Percival asked, "Eh? What is going on?"

Star Drop Stand were in place, as they sang to him:
(All): Lovely bliss! Lovely Bliss!
(Sosogu): We're happy you helped out, for a friend!
(Korona): We waited until the end!
(Shizuku): Our friend to the end, we will not miss!
(All): Is truly lovely bliss!

(Korona): We know you him, and want to take him
(Shizuku): But he belongs to us.
(Sosogu): In fact you could say that he owns me
(All): And everything in just!

(Sosogu): So thank you, sir, you're just too kind
You're just the guy, hard to find~!
But Daichi-kun's the best to be~!
Hottest guy around, across the sea~!

(All): Oooh, ooh, ooh!
Lovely Lovely Bliss!
(Korona): Thank you so much! For all you care!
(Shizuku): But you're not going anywhere…
(Percival):
Wait, what?
(Sosogu): We know exactly what you waaaaaaaaaaaaant…

Their eyes turned red and hostile, as they sung demonically, "And we know exactly… who you are…"

Percival gasped, as he cringed, "WHA-? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?"

Cy cried, "I KNEW IT! These girls… They're… They're… EVIL!"

Percival gasped, "They're robots!"

Cy said, "No."

"They're aliens!"

"Twy again!"

"Demons!"

"Nuh-uh."

"Uh… monsters… wolves… oni? Ninjas? Zombies? Vampires? ANYTHING?"

Cy replied, "Neither."

Percival roared, "WELL WHAT THEN?"

Daichi was behind the girls, as he said, "You know, we did hear about your meddling with DNC's affair… Sosogu sang this song about your lovely bliss… and how you had a hand at helping ruin the future!"

Percival barked, "What are you talking about?"

Daichi said, "Next song!"

The girls danced, as Sosogu sang, "Percival Gaynes, we are… Star Drop Stand!"

Shizuku posed, as Korona winked.

(Sosogu): We are the Paper Idols!
We are Daichi-kun's harem!
Let's be friends, for the future,
since we are no human, there's no doubt about it.

(Korona): Future looks mighty bleak for you!
It's all in the cards!
Lord MIO has you pegged, for your meddling,
and now your life will end!

Percival gasped, "Lord… MIO?"

He then thought, "Wait a minute…"

Daichi smirked, "Yes… Figured it out, by now?"

(Shizuku): We're not human, but we are evil, as you know!
We're represented by our hot boyfriend, Daichi-kun!
So, prepare to fall, with musical love~!
(All): Daichi-kun's our master!

We are Star Drop Stand!
We're your endgame!
You and your meddling android
will fall… all the saaaaaaaaaaame~!

Percival then remembered, "Star… Drop… Stand…"

He gasped, "No… NO! How is this possible?"

Percival remembered, a while back, after Michelle returned to Feral Beauty, and showed a picture of MIO, with her back turned. Michelle said to him, showing the picture, "MIO! This is the vampire that almost killed me, and the cause of the DNC's evil rule."

Percival asked, "Okay… Why the scar? And why does she resemble big loser trash?"

"THIS Big Loser Trash… is a trashbag whore of a skank's body, in which you do not know, by now!"

Percival gasped, "No… You don't mean-?"

Michelle yelled, "YES! MIO stole Stephanie McMahon's body, after she was killed by Broken Matt Hardy!"

She then explained the situation, and how she is suddenly blessed with brand-new powers.

Weeks later, while the others were traversing to Egypt, Percival was getting reports from Michelle, learning of MIO's slaves, the Jewel People. He also learned of an old spirit form that has existed since 1988 – The Stands. Percival learned from Michelle that she's already befriended a Stand User, Yamabuki Suou, who was once MIO's slave, only for Rook to free her.

Cy said, "I'm afwaid it's inconclusive. These are unknown deities from another dimension!"

Percival growled, "No… Even worse off… Cy, I don't know what's going on, but these girls… You remember the files about an entity called Spirit Callers?"

Cy said, "Cowwek. I had it wecowded, fwom your desk, pwior to our de-paw-cha."

Percival growled, "How did I not guess sooner…? Star Drop Stand… Cy, these are NOT Spirit Callers! Spirit Callers have the same powers as does its predecessors. They are physical manifestations of fighting spirits."

Cy said, "Data updated. What are these Spiwits doing as Pop Idols?"

Percival said, "That's because they're NOT Spirit Callers!"

Cy asked, "What are they, actually?"

He stood up and said, "Star Drop Stand… It rings a bell, Daichi Taira… Sosogu, Korona, and Shizuku… They're…"

He pointed at them, as he cried, "THEY'RE STANDS!"

Cy gasped, "ERROR! ERROR! But that is im-posse-cable! Stands were intwoduced in the era of DIO!"

Percival said, "I knew something funny was going on… Spirit Callers… Jewel Women… Stands… I knew there was something wrong with you, Daichi Taira!"

Daichi smirked, "Good to hear from you… human…"

The girls stood straight, dancing lightly in rhythm, as he said, "You're so right, Percival Gaynes… You and your blonde robot intervened in Lady Anna's plans. Lord MIO finds you very naughty…"

His voice started to crack, as he continued, "But you should know by now… Time is of the essence. Lord MIO and Lord Nevins know about you, and how you're not of pure heart. Good call for the man who started the Moji Mikisa's nightmare, long ago!"

The idols stripped down, as they were in pink, green, and blue chrome skin. They were completely naked, with their body parts similar to joints and exoskeletons.

Sosogu sang, "We are Daichi-kun's Paper Dolls!"
Korona sang, "We are his 3-for-1 Stand!"
Shizuku sang, "And now that you see our true form…"

They pointed at him, and sang, "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"

They charged at him, as Percival grabbed Cy's arm and yelled, "RUN!"

They ran off, as Daichi laughed, "YES! RUN! RUN AWAY, YOU IMPURE COWARD!"

He laughed evilly, as Percival and Cy ran out the back way. He bawled, as he was running, shouting in a fast-pace manner, "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE STANDS? THIS MOJI MIKISA AU MIND FUCK IS FUCKING CRAZY! I KNEW I SHOULD'VE JOINED THE OTHERS IN EGYPT! SWEET JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH, I GOT TO GET OUTTA HERE! STAR DROP STAND IS GOING TO KILL ME! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!"

He and Cy ran back to the car, as Cy cried, "SIR! WAIT! You're not authorized to dwive!"

Percival was behind the wheel, and cried, "It's better to run away from these harpies! Three Stands is almost enough for me to take! Cy, buckle up, and give me a GPS radar to a safe place!"

Cy beeped, "On it!"

She buckled up, as Percival drove away, really fast. Star Drop Stand went after him, as they sang "You can run… but you cannot hide!"

Percival was in his road rage mode, again, only his road rage is road fright.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY, YOU LOSERS! CAN YOU NOT SEE I AM IN CONSTANT FEAR? YOUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER, AND NOT JUST BECAUSE OF ME, WHICH IS WHAT I MEAN, BECAUSE I'M THE VICTIM HERE!"

He pushed the accelerator down, as the three female Stands chased after him. Percival thought, "If I know Michelle's intel on Spirits and Stands, it's this… The farther the Spirit Caller and Stand is from its user, the weaker the thing is."

He continued to drive, as the Stands ran after him, as their heads changed into helmets. The pink Stand wore a bunny helmet, while the blue one has a bear helmet, and the green one has a cat helmet. Percival grumbled, as he was looking at the rear-view window, "WHY? Why do they have to be freaky?"

Cy said, "Sir, I'm afraid that they cannot slow down! They are off the charts in power levels!"

Percival cried, "What does the scouter say about their power levels?"

Cy replied, "Analyzing… Analyzing… CODE RED! Danger levels extremely high!"

He sighed, "Lemme guess… 530,000?"

"Higher than that!"

"FUCK! Why do I always get stuck in the hard jobs? These Stands, they're evil, not just talented and cute, but they act like robotic idols!"

Cy replied, "There are simply psychic energy entities, made from a person's fighting spirit. How come you're not fighting back?"

He whined, "I DON'T EVEN HAVE A PURE HEART! Since Tohru Honda came to being, and I let her cause chaos, prior to her death, I don't deserve one! I hate it so! I HATE IT! Now, I'm going to die!"

He wept, as he was driving fast, "And I have no one to help meeeeeeeeee!"

He roared, "OTHER THAN YOU, TINY LITTLE PAIN IN THE ASS!"

She replied, "Wow… You're lonely…"

"My wife's in Egypt, along with the others, Mizuki's incapacitated, Aya's gone somewhere, and I cannot contact anybody else!"

"It's not your fault, onii-chan."

"I can't stop! Not with those demonic harpies after me!"

"Daichi will pay for her crimes!"

"Her? What do you mean her?"

"I examined his bodily functions, and I learned that he's a she. She's female!"

"The voice cracking? Wait…"

He held an EB radio speaker and said, "Attention, Daichi Taira! Come on out and show yourself! I know exactly who you are now!"

The car stopped, as Daichi appeared in front of them. He gasped, as Cy cried, "Whoa! She's fast!"

Daichi smirked, "So, you know who I am, and how I power up three Stands, resembling Star Drops. They are my hot girl idols, Star Drop Stand."

Percival growled, "You hussy… You used Daichi's persona, to kill me, would you? I think I remember that Daichi Taira is a slacker!"

Daichi smiled, "Oh, you figured me out? I bet the android scanned me, knowing full well of who I am."

His voice changed to female and said, "But since you know who I really am, lemme clarify on your target, Daichi Taira. I've already killed him, and donned his persona, only to make you believe he did it, when in actuality, it's me."

He opened his shirt, showing a busty female chest, wearing a dark blue blazer, and called, "I am the Stand User of Paper Muse, the trifecta of Cute Pop Idols. Sosogu, Shizuku, and Korona are my Tri-Stand, three Stands, powered by one user!"

He showed his bare cleavage and showed a round orange gem above it, "And as you see, I am the gem of the Sunstone! Harasho! And my name's NOT Daichi Taira!"

He revealed-, no, She revealed herself to be a woman in long blonde hair, done in a ponytail, and with blue eyes. She boomed out, "I am Eli Ayase – The Jewel Woman of the Sunstone!"

Love Live's Eli Ayase

Percival growled, "A Stand User… and a cross-dresser!"

Eli gasped, "EHHHHHHHH?"

She complained, "HEY, Shu-, SHUT UP! I did that as a disguise, you moron! You want to arrest me for murder towards one of your Most Wanted fugitives?"

Percival cleared his throat and said, "…as a matter of fact… Yes!"

He called, "You're a murderer! While I admit that killing Daichi was the right thing to do, it's still punishable by law to arrest you! But now that I see that you're behind this, wielding a gem above your boobs and three Stands at once, I won't go easy on you!"

He prepared, as he called, "I hear about you, Eli Ayase, of Russian descent? I'm actually opposite of you! I'm of Ukrainian descent, since my grandmother was born in Ukraine."

"Harasho! So, we blood of the Soviet Union? So be it… comrade!"

They prepared to fight, as Cy said, "Uh, onii-chan, not to be wude, but… what about her Stands, coming this way?"

Percival said, "Let them come. Her musical muse, her trifecta of Stands, don't scare me!"

Eli smirked, "In that case, comrade, let me show you musical trifecta you've ever met!"

The trio of Stands, her Paper Muse, appeared around Percival, as Eli smirked, "Your move, comrade."

Percival said, "Likewise."

They stared down for a full 30 seconds. Percival made the first move.
ZOOM!
And grabbed Cy, running away. Eli shouted, "HEY! GET BACK HERE!"

Percival was in tears, and he screamed out, "I CAN'T DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! How can I beat her? Four against two, and Cy's not for fighting!"

Cy called, "Uh, yes, I am. I am programmed for-."

"SHUT UP! Or I'll send you back in pieces!"

He and Cy ran off, away from Eli and her Stands. But apparently, he only did that, to strategize. He kept running, as he thought, "I can beat Eli Ayase in her own game. The only question is… HOW?"


So, in New York, Percival and Cy encounter the Sunstone, Eli Ayase, and in Luxor, the battle against Shion, of Divine Sethan, is about to start!
Stay tuned to the next exciting chapter, and see how it unfolds!
