Days passed, as everyone in the Daitenzin was in shock and sadness of Gojo Shioji's death, caused by Angelo. Ropponmatsus 1 & 2 prayed for him, as they were in a shrine of him, near the office. As they prayed, everything went quiet.

Misaki put his clothes away, as she was saddened. Services had come to a close, and his uniform and suits had been hung lifelessly in the closets of the offices. Beside it, all laid what he once wore – shoes, socks, pants, shirts, lab coats. They were the clothing articles, recalled of a famed scientist, despite a very articulate past and an uneasy hobby he does. He was a man who lived his life to the fullest. But eventually, even these belongings would be discarded…

Misaki shut the closet doors and whispered, "He was a brave genius… though I question his immoral methods…"

XXXXX

Tsukasa watched on from outside the rundown motels, as she thought, "He must be hurt over what he witnessed. I would come and be there for him, but even so… he wished to have his privacy, right now. It hurts him dearly, knowing what happened."

Tsukasa walked away, as Ropponmatsu 1 stepped outside, feeling unhappy. Despite one of his creations' reluctance to part with the memory data of the man who originally built her, she would never delete it from her electronic brain… nor would his clothes would be worn by him again.


Episode 42 – Chapter 3: Ojama Star vs. Aqua Necklace!
Twenty Years Later… REVENGE!


At the motel, Asahi has already evacuated everyone in the building, including the landlord. She went ahead and shut off EVERY water main valve in the house, and supplied tanks and bottles of water, just in case Aqua Necklace shows itself again.

He gave Chazz a drink and said, "Don't touch anything that's in a bottle or a can. We have to be careful."

She then asked, "Where did the others go?"

Chazz said, "I asked Misaki to take the boys out for a vacation spot, for a week or so… The robots, however, they had been deactivated, because of the grief, back in their HQ."

Asahi said, "Good idea. Can't risk them involved in this. We can reactivate them, once Angelo is dealt with-."

Chazz's hair stands on ends, as he was angry. He calmed down and brushed his hair, "Before you ask, that was outta nowhere! I'm alright. It makes me mad, whenever I hear that name! In fact, I've never been calmer in my life…"

Part of his small house was destroyed, as most of his furniture was in a pile. Asahi gasped, "Uh… right… I take it this is your room, so you're free to let out your anger. But your Spirit Caller can fix this, once this is over."

She asked, "By the way, I never asked about the scratch on your lip… That was caused by me, after I punched you. You have the ability to heal everyone and everything… but can you heal your own wounds?"

Chazz huffed, "Unfortunately, yes. But in a couple days… Look, my Ojama Star can heal and fix everything, but the one thing it cannot do is heal myself. That'd be great, if it did. So, no, it can't."

Asahi asked, "If his Stand does go into your cuts, he'd eat you alive from inside-out. Then you'd be dead…"

He grumbled, "Good grief… Don't remind me."

Outside, Angelo was waiting up in a tree, viewing the two having a talk together. He then whispered, "They know all about my Stand's abilities. Well, I say good. Let them find a way to beat me. But shutting off the water won't do you any good, now would it? These two lovebirds can plot all they want, but I'm one step ahead of you. Your efforts are futile. I can wait all I want… and then…"

As he waited, time passed.


Three days later…


Three days later, Asahi was searching the grass, looking for footprints. She then thought, as the clouds went dark, "Guy's been lurking around the house, but he hasn't made his move. I wonder what he's planning. It's been three days, and he hasn't made any murders, lately. It feels like Chazz is next. But why? What is he waiting for?"

She got up and looked at the clouds. It started to rain. She hurried to head back inside. But she stopped, only to realize…

"NO! THE RAIN!" She gasped, as Aqua Necklace appeared, about to strike.

Angelo laughed, "PERFECT! You're cornered, you bitch! The innocent pop idol, Asahi Sakurai, dies in my hand! NOW SUFFER, AS YOUR PAMPERED LIFESTYLE ENDS!"

His Stand lunged at her, as she gasped in fear. It was on her neck, about to strike. But Idol Justice, her Stand, appears and socked Aqua Necklace off.

"DORA!" She swatted the Stand away.

Angelo gasped, "WHAT? I see…"

His Stand said, as he is splattered into the walls, "So, I didn't expect that, but the innocent pop idol is a Stand User, as well!"

She growled, as Aqua Necklace called, "NO MATTER! My moment has finally arrived, because this building is under MY control! Soon I'll get my revenge on your lover, and then the Higashikata punk is mine! And thanks to this rain, you're not going anywhere!"

It absorbed inside the building, as Asahi ran back inside. Chazz called from inside, "ASA, BABE?"

She called, "I KNOW!"

The kettles started to emit steam, by itself, as he said, "By the looks of things, he got all this water boiling. Even the hot water is on, in every room."

Asahi said, "To make matters worse, we're trapped."

Chazz looked out the window and said, "It's raining?"

Asahi replied, "Yes. And he's already in the house, after the rain poured. His Stand hasn't been waiting for us to consume the water… IT WAS WAITING FOR THE RAIN! His Stand… it can move anywhere in the rain, and can even turn liquid into vapor!"

She panicked, "No… It can morph into steam…"

A huge vapor cloud appeared, as it succumbed to Chazz. Asahi cried, "CHAZZ, HURRY AND GET AWAY FROM THE KETTLE!"

Chazz sensed it and used Ojama Star to trap the Stand in the bottle again. However, he shattered it, trapping the steam inside, and repaired the bottle. But it was empty.

"I see he knew of our trick! We cannot trap him in the bottle again!" He shouted, "This is difficult!"

She stated, "For now, stay away from any steam, and protect your lungs. You can breathe, but not deeply! Our only goal is to get out of here!"

He growled, "Easier said than done. I'm not sure we'd have a choice, as far as leaving is concerned."

The water was dripping from the ceiling, as he explained, "He's already made holes on the roof, so he can have the advantage. The first floor is no good, either, and we'll be sitting ducks if we go outside!"

He grumbled, "This is just great…"

They approached the hallways, as steam emitted from each bathroom. Asahi checked the showers, and a steam-shaped demon lunged at her. She slammed the door, and Chazz shut off the water. She moaned, "I got to be honest… This liquid-morphing Stand… It's harder than I thought. Reminds me of that Water Stand, Rena Ryugu, back in Egypt. He's a clever bastard, plus he's really freaky."

He chuckled, as he said, "Oh, no worries. I believe Gojo's murderer has turned himself in, already. It's pretty great, don't you think?"

Asahi asked, "How so?"

Angelo chuckled, "Okay… Time to finish them, once and for all."

Aqua Necklace attacked Asahi, but she used her Stand, Idol Justice, to slam him away from her. She called out, "Okay, I'll bite! What is it?"

Chazz said, "This place is a small compact area, despite that this is roomy. Getting out is not right in my bag…"

He punched out a huge hole in the wall and said, "Breaking out is better. Come on, let's go through. The walls will repair itself."

He and Asahi stepped out, as the walls regenerated. Asahi blushed, "Oh, that was awesome…"

Chazz smiled, "On the plus side, we did trap the steam-."

They gasped, as they saw a humidifier on the table. Asahi cried, "A HUMIDIFIER?!"

She kicked the machine down, but Aqua Necklace is in Chazz's mouth. She shrieked, "CHAZZ, NO!"

The Stand laughed, "I WIN! I knew you'd try to break through to another room, just to lure yourself to the humidifier! NO shelter for you, cocky bastard!"

He was swallowed inside, as she tried to free him. "SHIT! Too late!"

Chazz was gagging, as Angelo laughed, "I guess it's like picking all the right answers; or like predicting the winners of a race. No matter. I'll savor this euphoria of victory, and then prepare my ultimate victory for the man that wronged me – Josuke Higashikata!"

Chazz was on his knees, as he growled, "Angelo thinks he won, but he's wrong!"

Asahi cried, "CHAZZ! Please no…"

He groaned, "I swore myself that I would not lose, even to someone like Angelo. I knew all about his sworn enemy, Josuke Higashikata… and twenty years later, after he somehow resurfaced… I'm going to honor him. This guy, since I was a child, was an idol, before I became a duelist… and way before I met you. When this battle goes the way I figured, I won't have anyone laughing…"

He opened his mouth, and Ojama Star pulled out a latex cloth. It was… a rubber glove?

Asahi gasped, "Huh? Is that-?"

He smiled and picked it up, as it was tied up, with Aqua Necklace inside, "You bet it is. It's kinda gross to explain, but I ate pieces of a rubber glove, and Ojama Star did the rest. He knew we were going to escape through, but you have to be smart enough to outwit The Chazz."

He opened the window and swung the rubber glove in fast speed. Angelo flew out of the tree, and went into the air. Asahi gasped, "No way! And what you just did, I think we did find Angelo!"

THUD!
He fell into the ground, as she said, "Let's go! Quickly!"

They raced out into the rain, as Angelo was running for his life, crawling in the rain. He gasped, "Shit! Shit!"

They arrived, seeing a scared Angelo. He said, "Well, well… If it isn't Angelo."

Asahi flashed her badge and said, "Anjuro Katagiri! AAW-New York! You're under arrest!"

Angelo ran off, "SCREW YOU BOTH!"

Chazz swung the glove downwards, and Angelo tripped down into a puddle. They walked towards him in a menacing glare, as Angelo was pleading for mercy.

"Wait, no, no! No, wait, I give up!" He pleaded, "Please, don't try anything foolish! I mean, you're not going to kill me, are you?"

He crawled to the wall and said, "Okay, easy now, I admit it! I broke out of prison, just because I want to have fun, but that was long ago! And I know a pop idol-turned-cop knows that I was found guilty by the Japanese Authority, but you two have no right to kill me, just because I was in Death Row!"

He pointed at Chazz and shouted, "Princeton, let's be frank! I overheard that you idolized Higashikata, the same punk whose grandfather I killed! Yeah, I killed him, but that doesn't mean you're a saint, like him! If you kill me, you're cursed to live with this, forever, just like me!"

He cackled, but…
SMASH!
Chazz punched his hand, smashing into the brick wall. He then said, "It's rude to point fingers at people. Didn't your mother teach you that? Wait, you can't… Because you're heartless! I don't know how you escaped Angelo's Rock, but I have been waiting years to meet you and give you an ass-whipping."

Angelo looked at his right hand and shrieked, "AAAGH! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY HAND?"

His hand was covered in bricks and cement, as Chazz said, "You should take solace knowing the fact no one's going to execute you. Not me, and not my girlfriend. We won't be killing you, nor will we arrest you."

Asahi said, "Chazz, this is your call. Since it's not in my jurisdiction, you can do what you like… It's strange how you'd appear, after your soul was fused together with Angelo's Rock, after the death of Ryohei Higashikata. The minute I heard of that name, Higashikata, it hit me… YOU were bested by my boyfriend's idol… and when the Moji Mikisa resurfaced, you were one of those people that resurfaced."

Angelo sobbed, "What are you psychotic bastards going to do to me?"

Chazz glared, "Enjoy your eternal penance, Angelo. We're sending you back to Morioh Town, as a monumental linkage. Reflect on the lives of many you stole, including Ryohei Higashikata and Gojo Shioji!"

Ojama Star reappeared and smashed Angelo's body into a huge brick wall, and was plastered into the wall, with his hands and face sticking out in agony.

He concluded, "And as soon as you are absorbed back into this new monument, for all eternity, in the town Shioji loved… you're going back to Morioh, in spirit."

Angelo suddenly had flashbacks of Josuke Higashikata, from 1999, as he waffled Angelo into a gigantic rock, turning him into a monument of Morioh Town, just a one minute walk to the Bus Stop.

Josuke, a boy in a blue suit and a weird hairstyle, called to Angelo, "Enjoy your eternal penance, Angelo. Reflect on the life you stole from MY GRANDPA AND ALL THE OTHERS!"

His Stand, Shining Diamond, a pink and silver emerged, and lambasted with punches, drilling Angelo into the boulder, now known as "Angelo Rock".


Steffi Matheson, a woman in long brown hair, an ample bust, and a ladle in her arms, appeared, wearing a red tour guide suit, as she said, "Yoo-hoo~! It's me again. For those who do not remember what Angelo's Rock was, allow me to explain."

Steffi Matheson's Morioh Town Archives – #1: Angelo Rock

She showed a deformed boulder with the face of Angelo, as she explained, "This is Angelo's Rock, a landmark of Morioh Town; also known as The Angelo Stone. It's known for a hotspot for romantic rendezvous. It has become a popular landmark, and has charmed the people of Morioh, for over the years, despite its disturbing appearance. It's just a one-minute walk to the Morioh Jozenji Street Bus Stop #3."

She explained, "I will be back to explain more about some flashbacks of 1999, in later episodes. So, stay tuned~!"


Back in the wall, Angelo was groaning in pain, as Chazz sighed, "Good grief…"

Asahi blushed, as she was in awe, "I don't know if it arouses me… or if it freaks me out… but that Ojama Star is bat-shit crazy."

Angelo pleaded, "WAIT! COME BACK! I can talk! If you let me go, I'll cooperate! I was only doing this, because she'll kill you both for me! So, I'll take the blame for this!"

Chazz asked, "She? Who are you talking about?"

Angelo explained, "She was the one that revived my Stand Powers, the year before I was about to be incarcerated. She has a school uniform and a calm look. She was the one brought my Aqua Necklace back!"

Asahi gasped, "Are you saying that there's someone that can bestow the powers of Stands to another?"

Angelo laughed, "HAH! I scared you, did I?"

Chazz roared, "How's that supposed to scare us?"

She explained, "From what I overheard, you cannot become a Spirit Caller or a Stand User, by birth. How Angelo regained his Stand powers remains a mystery; but it's related to 30 years ago… from the death of DIO to the death of Jotaro Kujo. But if there's another person handing out Stands, like free samples…"

Angelo growled, "The cocky bastard with the white attire? I see… It is terrifying, I know. Please let me explain…"

He explained the story, as he was still trapped, "It all started in 1998… It was the night before my execution, in a month's time. I could not sleep, as I stared deeply into my cell. It was a silent night… But then…"


1998…


Angelo was sleeping in his cell, as he was looking up in the ceiling. He was restless and angry, until a man appeared, in a blue school uniform. He had long blonde hair done in a flattop, and then glared at Angelo. He gasped, "WHA? HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE?"

The boy said, armed with a bow and arrow, stated, "Hold still."

Angelo narrated, "This kid came out of nowhere, and he had a weapon… It was a very old bow and arrow. It looked like it was over centuries old… and I was so scared that I could piss at my pants. And then, it happened…"

He was shot in the mouth by the arrow, right through his mouth.


Ten years later…


Angelo said, "After that, I was freed, a couple years ago, following Josuke Higashikata's win against me… I lost my Stand powers, but I hid in obscurity, before I can kill again. I took refuge in F City, and waited for my time to come… and then one day… this woman came to me, same dark aura like that bastard in the bow and arrow… And wouldn't you know it… She had the SAME bow and arrow that the guy shot me with!"

Angelo was in refuge in a small home, when a shadowy female figure appeared to him. He gasped in horror, as she prepared to fire. Angelo was about to scream, but she fired at the huge man's mouth. It started to brim in energy, as the girl smirked. Angelo started to convulse, until he finally collapse. He was barely breathing, as the girl pulled the arrow out, "You're alive. Good. That means you got potential. If you didn't, you'd be dead. But no worries… From what I sense in you, you were once a Stand User, plotting revenge. I, too, know what it's like to get back at someone… The worse the villain, the tougher the Stand… Like that vampire girl named MIO. She called it a Stand, but that's been taken. Ages ago, the vampire DIO, he invented Stands!"

She pulled the arrow out, and Aqua Necklace was reborn.


Asahi gasped in fright, "MIO? She said MIO?"

Chazz said, "I see you are shocked, too… She was the same evil vampire that caused this."

They suddenly heard a choking sound, as a boy in a raincoat was being choked by the rubber glove with Aqua Necklace inside. Angelo cackled, "FOOLS! I may be just a brick wall, but I'm still alive! Even if I leaked you the information, you've already failed!"

Asahi growled, "Damn you, Angelo!"

Angelo yelled, "I'll let the boy go, if you free me at once! I gave you my information, so let me go!"

Chazz ignored the boy in peril, as he brushed his hair, "It would seem that my rage wasn't enough… Josuke Higashikata, he'd be lying in his grave, knowing what you have been doing, since these worlds melded. But I would've let you go, if this was making me mad."

Angelo yelled, "HEY! QUIT BRUSHING YOUR HAIR! DO YOU CARE ABOUT THIS BOY'S LIFE?"

He ignored everything, as Angelo boasted, "Go ahead and let the boy die, while you mend your stupid ugly hair! YOU LOSE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Chazz snapped, as Asahi whispered, "Uh-oh… Why do I get the feeling that this is a repeat, like before?"

She said to Angelo, "I wouldn't insult my boyfriend's hair… if I were you…"

Angelo laughed, "HE CANNOT DO SHIT! THAT BITCH IN THE SCHOOL UNIFORM WON'T LET IT SLIDE, IF YOU KILL ME-!"

Chazz snarled, as he was infuriated. Asahi cried, "WAIT! CHAZZ, TAKE IT EASY!"

Chazz roared, "What! THE FUCK! DID YOU JUST SAY! ABOUT MY HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR?"

Angelo pleaded, "NO, WAIT! If you kill me, that cunt won't like it! She knows your every move, since she's in F City, too! I didn't say anything earlier, but she's right here in town!"

Asahi gasped, "SHE'S WHAT? CHAZZ, STAND DOWN!"

But it was too late. Chazz hollered, unleashing Ojama Star. Asahi looked away, as Angelo screamed in fear, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

"DORARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARA!" Chazz's Ojama Star demolished the entire brick wall with Angelo inside, and it collapsed into a pile of debris. However, the pieces of destroyed bricks reemerged into a huge mural pattern of Angelo, in a deformed look, with his arms upward, running in place. The boy was freed from the latex glove's grip, and fell into the puddle. With Angelo turned into a lifeless portrait of city art, his Stand was gone, once again.

"Good grief…" Chazz sighed, as the boy ran off crying, "I'll admit it. He did manage to piss me off… You can call me an artist, because this asshole became one with great City Art… He can go back to Morioh, for all I care."

Asahi sighed and smiled, "Great… Thank goodness it's done."

She barked, "Chazz, we should've asked more information about this girl in a school uniform! I bet she was the one that rebirthed the Stands, long after the death of Jotaro Kujo! And that was eight years ago!"

Chazz barked, "YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVED THE BULLSHIT HE SAID? I am aware of MIO, you know! This is the same bitch that killed most of your friends: Rook, Heather, and even the old hag! But two out of three being revived ain't bad!"

Asahi shouted, "WHAT HE SAID WASN'T BULLSHIT! IT'S THE TRUTH! MIO WAS A DEMONIC FORCE THAT HURT MISS MIZUKI, AND BROUGHT US TOGETHER TO STOP HER! We know that we killed her, ending the Fuji Gems dilemma, but the issue with the revival of Stands and Spirit Callers, that is something we'd have to solve!"

She explained, "From the books I read in AU History, in 1987, a vampire named Dio Brando, a.k.a. DIO, was the greatest enemy to the Joestar Family, for over 100 years, before it all came to an end, thirty years ago. He was given a Stand, a year before his death at the hands of Jotaro Kujo. How did he get the Stand, you asked?"

Chazz said, "Yeah. I bet the vampire got it from the arrow… but not that asshole in the school uniform… Possibly someone else?"

They walked off, as Asahi said, "Correct. So, in my opinion, Angelo reemerged, in 2011, went into seclusion in 2018, all powerless, and he was given his Stand back, one year ago. So, it's all possible that the girl who gave the Stand to him has an arrow."

He said, "Right. So, what now?"

Asahi growled, as she was thinking, "I have no clue…"

She said, "I think I'm going to stay in F City, for a while. In the meantime, I'm going to LSAAWS HQ, and inform them about Angelo's defeat."

They walked together in the rain, as Chazz then asked, "You need an umbrella, though? It's raining hard."


The next morning, Asahi was at the hotel, calling on the phone.

"Hello? Yeah. The Angelo issue has been resolved. However… the one photo you sent me, bring it in, as soon as possible. I want the one from The Speedwagon Foundation, from 1988, the moment before DIO was destroyed in Egypt. I need to know its significance. Right. Thank you."

She put the phone down and held up the files. She thought, "If there is an arrow, then it's safe to assume that Angelo isn't the only one we'd be worried about… Angelo was the First Course… … … of a horrific buffet of epic proportions."


Episode 42 – End
