Have you ever had those moments in class, where you're hanging out with your friends, having fun, not caring about the world when suddenly your teacher comes in and announces a pop quiz? This is like that.
Aztec 13: As much of an asshole Chris is, he can have some soft spots.
The scene was surprising for the five newcomers who had just arrived. They were given the challenge of fighting Chris, who seems to have control of his shadow he calls Nyctophobia. The newly revealed Stand had such a creepy appearance to put the five at edge. Even Junior and Josuke was intrigued by the sight.
"What is this… his shadow… his shadow took physical form?" Cody exclaimed.
"It is a ghoul! I shall banish it! Stand back everyone!" Leonard yells.
"Hold on, what even is that thing?" Zoey asked.
"It's his shadow, you dunce!" Jo yelled.
"Really? I thought you could only see shadows on the ground." Lindsay was a bit more clueless about the situation.
"So, you all see this." Chris smirked. "It seems my suspicions were right. You are Stand Users as well, right?"
"H-hold on, you're giving too little information!" Jo yelled as she points a finger at Chris. "We still don't know what the fuck you are even talking about! Enlighten us!"
"Alright then. I'll explain as this goes along." Chris says. "Okay, witness the power of my Stand, Nyctophobia!"
Suddenly, Nyctophobia dives back into the shadow, retaining two-dimensional form as it began creeping its way at a fast pace. The five stood back, anticipating the worst.
"Power?! It's a power?!" Zoey exclaimed. "What kind?!"
"I don't know, it's different from my magic." Leonard states.
"Hey jackasses, whether or not it's an ability or magic, it's heading straight for us!" Jo yelled.
As the 5 continue to be on guard of the incoming shadow, Nyctophobia immediately jumps out from the shadows and charges at Zoey, ready for an attack.
"Waaaaugh!" Zoey yelped in seeing the thing jump at her.
"Duck!" Lindsay yelled as she jumped at Zoey.
As Lindsay tackled Zoey away from the attack, Nyctophibia was seen missing the strike and smashed the ground with considerable force.
"Man, this thing's faster than Black Friday shoppers." Lindsay states.
"So, do you want to know what a Stand is?" Chris asked.
"Of course we do! We don't want to be facing something blind!" Cody yelled.
Nyctophobia then charges at Leonard for a punch, who quickly takes notice of this.
"Force field!" Leonard raises up his staff and yells out a magic spell.
That didn't do nothing, and Nyctophobia is now close to landing an attack.
"What the?! Nothing happened?! Such power!" Leonard yelled.
Before the attack could land, Junior jumps in front with his Quartz Baron when…
"Ora!" The Quartz Baron grabbed Nyctophobia's arm and did a knee jab onto its side.
The damage was reflected onto Chris, who hunches over the pain as the 5 bask at the sight of Junior's Quartz Baron.
"Gah! Dude! I said not to interfere!" Chris yelled.
"You could at least given them proper information before fighting all out!" Junior says. "We can't draw out their Stand abilities without proper knowledge."
"Hold on, I saw that thing at Oriole Park!" Zoey asked, staring at Junior's Stand in shock. "What is even going on here?!"
"Great, next that guy reveals that he has a strange figure." Jo says, pointing at Josuke.
"Actually I do, jock face." Josuke says, summoning Crazy Diamond which surprises the group.
"Wait, why do those three have ghosts?" Lindsay asked, trying to catch up with the situation.
"Yeah?! What gives?!" Jo asked.
"Alright, alright. I'll tell them." Chris says, annoyed. "So, we have what is known as a Stand. Physical manifestations created by your fighting spirit."
"Fighting spirit? You mean you can control these freaks?!" Cody asked.
"Hmm, it's unlike the magic I've encountered on my travels." Leonard thought.
"It ain't magic. Or if it is, it's connected to your soul." Chris says. "There are many rules concerning Stands, but the main one is this; only Stand Users can see Stands."
"Wait… then that means…" Cody's eyes turn wide in realisation.
"So does that mean since we can see your spirit powers, we also have spirit powers as well?" Lindsay asked.
"Yep, pretty much." Chris says.
"So lying about the audition tapes, dragging us out into the woods, forcing us to fight you. That's to bring out our own Stand abilities?" Jo asked. "I'm impressed."
"So since you brought out all the Stand Users from the show, does that mean Tyler and Beth aren't Stand Users like me?" Lindsay asked.
"Or literally everyone else who was invited to the picnic. None of them are like us?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, which is why I brought you here to lower suspicions." Chris says.
"Ah, I see." Jo says.
Suddenly, Jo then pulls a fighting pose, which catches the others off guard.
"Now I'm ready. Let's see what new ability this test will bring out in me!" Jo smirked in confidence.
"Well then, okay!" Chris smirked.
"Hold on! We aren't ready yet!" Zoey yelled.
"Nonsense! A true warrior immediately springs into action when danger catches them off guard!" Leonard yells.
"Wait! Isn't this a bit too fast?! We only just absorbed the information!" Cody says.
"Nope, no can do." Chris smirks.
"Hey wait! Aren't you guys gonna help us?!" Zoey asked the two standing in the sidelines.
"Sorry. I don't think I can help you this time." Junior says. "Try and think of it like those scenes in movies where the hero unlocks a new ability in the heat of battle."
"That's a terrible analogy to be basing this off of!" Zoey yelled.
"Hey, I think it can work." Cody says.
"Nobody cares what you think, dork. Here it comes!" Jo yelled.
The shadow begins zigzagging across the battlefield, as the five were on the lookout for an attack.
"Of course Chris' ability would be something shadow related. That slithering bastard!" Jo yelled.
Suddenly, Nyctophobia jumps out of the shadow and launches a strong fist strike.
"Everybody! Scatter!" Zoey yelled.
The five jump away from the trajectory of the attack as the Stand pounds the ground.
"Hmm, it's fast when in its shadow form but not so when it jumps out." Jo begins to observe patterns. "It's slow enough for even the nerd and wizard boy to dodge. This is gonna be easy."
"Is she really about to take this thing on by herself?!" Zoey exclaimed.
"Fool! Teamwork can make us stronger!" Leonard yelled.
"Grow up from your fantasies, Leonard. This thing is slow enough as it is. And since Chris doesn't seem to know any major fighting styles, so does this thing." Jo lashes back with confidence.
Chris hears this remark, and Nyctophobia turns and attacks Jo. She dodges the strike and punches the Stand in the face with her bare fists. She suddenly noticed that Chris isn't affected by the strike.
"What the? He isn't affected? I thought the damage gets reflected onto the user." Jo questioned the situation.
Nyctophobia goes for an arm swing, and Jo manages to dodge down and does two consecutive quick jabs. That did absolutely nothing to the situation.
"What the?! Why isn't it working?! I know for sure Chris isn't this durable!" Jo yelled.
"Wait! There's something else you should know!" Junior yelled. "Only Stands can harm Stands! Physical attacks won't work at all!"
"Ugh, well then how can I even summon my Stand?!" Jo asked.
"It's easy, guys. You just have to think about it protecting yourself or to attack!" Josuke yelled. "Rely on your instincts!"
Suddenly, another attack from Nyctophobia is launched, and Jo dodges it with a backflip.
"How the fuck am I supposed to do that?! It's easier than it sounds, ya dinguses!" Jo yelled.
"Raaah!" Nyctophobia yelled as it rushed forth for an attack.
"You know what?! Fuck it!" Jo yelled.
Jo parries the incoming attack and creates an opening for an attack.
"Ushaaaaaa!" Jo then launches a consecutive series of attacks including jabs, uppercuts, roundhouses and axe kicks. "Usha!" She ends the attack with a jab to the face.
Nyctophobia was knocked back a bit, but immediately stood upright and had sustained no damage at all.
"Fuck! I can't seem to even damage it!" Jo yelled.
Suddenly, Nyctophobia quickly swings its arms to sweep Jo's legs, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Gah! This is getting needlessly annoying!" Jo yelled.
As the Stand towers above her, it then begins charging another attack.
"Oh shit!" Jo exclaimed.
The Stand pounds down, and Jo braces for impact… but nothing.
"...huh?" Jo opens her eyes and finds a surprising sight.
Jo crawls backwards as she takes in the sight, glowing a navy blue aura as well. A new figure has appeared and has blocked the attack that had been brought on by Nyctophobia. A thin but fit female figure that hovered above the ground and is as tall as Jo. The figure, with orange eyes, has midnight blue colored skin, with a yellow, orange and white luchador mask and copper colored hair sticking out the back like a ponytail. The figure wore a tight red elastic suit that stretched from the chest to just above the knees, similar to what female wrestlers use. There was a symbol on the belly area that resembles Saturn and its rings, and a white belt that wraps around the waist with a gold belt buckle. And finally, the wrists and ankles were wrapped in bandages like a tourniquet.
"No way!" Cody's jaw dropped at the sight. "Jo has awakened her own Stand?!"
"Wow, it looks like a wrestler. Impressive!" Zoey yelled.
Seeing that this new figure appeared from her, Jo smirked, filling up with confidence once more.
"Things just got even more interesting!" Jo smirks as the new Stand clutches its fist. "Usha!" The Stand pulls an uppercut at Nyctophobia, successfully landing the hit.
Suddenly, Chris sustained a bruise under his chin, but he managed to recover from it quickly.
"Hmm, impressive." Chris smirked. "Now that you've finally awakened your Stand, show me what you got."
"With pleasure." Jo grinned as she and her new Stand pulled a pose.
