It was far beyond unsafe in the town now, but no one knew of it yet except those had had been the first to suffer. This did not open up pleasant doors for what was to follow, and the current chaos was only caused by half of the problem.
The other side of town was totally dead with silence...only the sound of a sharpening blade being heard. The lady had been there for quite some time now, not knowing of what else to do under these conditions, especially not wanting to experience a return fire from what had happened to her at the outside mall sector.
Princess Ayeka held the nearly perfectly bladed staff in her hand, her eyes having a peacefully exhausted glimmer. It was all so confusing. The security that everyone had valued had slipped away yet again, and of all of them that had been confused by the android experience, no one was more puzzled than she had been.
Ayeka's eyes moved to the window now, whereas she had previously seen an empty road, there was a shadowed figure looking through the glass. She practically involuntarily raised the staff, but in a firm fashion, and the figure by the window opened the door, stepping inside slowly, into the light.
The image that the lights had painted was not the threat that Ayeka was preparing for...but rather one of the ones that had experienced the same that she had. Jotaro Kujo.
The solid-natured man lifted his cap a tad bit, his stone cold gaze meeting hers in a gentle way. Ayeka slowly lowered the hand that was holding the staff. "Oh...it's you." Jotaro then lowered his cap back down, cutting off the look and speaking in the calmly deep tone he had.
"They're not human, you know." These words were spoken so casually that Ayeka interpreted it as a light subject that the man had total control over. The man had clearly looked as though he was just as tired as she was, if not even more so, and he leaned back against the wall, bringing his arms up to fold, continuing with his words.
"Since the others that were with us when the androids attacked are now out of our contact, I feel relieved that I've been able to find at least one of you. I'd calculated afterwards that the man with the blades would be dwelling around here as well, but he seems like he would be hard to find even if that was true."
The Princess of Jurai was slightly relieved in the same way, but she had known that none of them had been associated with the man with the blades that Jotaro spoke of. Even if this man was closeby and could get involved, she had no way of knowing if it was in the way that everyone hoped.
Jotaro then quickly unfolded his arms, as if startled by something. "Sirens." Ayeka winced alittle to try and hear out the sound, but heard nothing. "I cannot hear a sound." Not very long after this, Jotaro turned to face the door as a row of police cars were spinning down the street, making very loud screeching noises, sirens and all.
Ayeka found herself confused yet again, wondering how it was possible that those sounds could not have been heard before. Jotaro raised his voice as he watched the activity, his long golden coat flapping in the speedy wind. "My Star Platinum was right after all." Star Platinum...the stand of Jotaro. The projection of all of the subtle and spiritual power that was within him...formed into the single entity that was called his 'stand'.
Star Platinum was the name of it, given by a prophet that had studied the stands. The stand had the immense and powerful perception necessary to hear out every sound being made and see all that would happen the second the speed of light held earthbound.
The doors of one of the cars opened up, officers getting out on each side, pistol in hand. One of them shouted to the side. "Alright, that's enough! Give yourself up before you end up making a stupid mistake!" The officers pointed their guns at all sides now, looking all around them.
The loud bump could then be heard, each of them turning to where it had come from, and there he was. A man standing atop one of the police cars, a red bandana wrapped around his head, a deadly hand-held blade in each one of his hands...being twirled around carelessly on his fingertips.
The police officers instantly turned all of their weapons directly at him in unison, one of them continuing to call out. "You've got nowhere else to go, Ripper. Let that register in your head and give it up now!" The wanted man named Ripper then clutched both of his blades tight, the still look in his eyes never wavering.
The officer watched him and spoke again, this time abit more weakly. "You have five seconds." Ripper did not move a single inch, not even his eyelids moving. The officer continued. "Four seconds." Ripper then spoke, his voice loud and sharp to a certain degree. "I can count the rest, asshole." The killer gaze of his then faded out of view as he backflipped off of the car with the trickiest of speed, dropping behind it.
As the officers made a scampering move to surround him, they had found that there was totally nothing behind that side of the car, or even underneath it as one of them mindlessly checked out. Impossible. No matter where the rest of them would turn to after that, there was just no sign of Ripper.
Back inside of the place where Ayeka and Jotaro had been, the sound of a door creaking had been heard below the staircase near the back of the place. Jotaro did not even turn around, looking from the scene outside to the ceiling. He finally spoke now as Ayeka stared uneasily at the staircase. "Star Platinum is letting you in."
