A Day Later

We see the group consisting of Ranger Tabes, Lucy, Gru and Finn resting in the clearing after their fight with Josee, with Tabes swathed in bandages on vital points. With their strongest fighter heavily injured, they decide to camp up for a few days to rest. They also decide to ceremoniously bury the bodies of Callum and Rayla. They know they're not truly dead, but they thought it was the least they could do for not being there at the right time.

"So, Gru. Anything yet?" Lucy asked. "Has your Harvest found anything in the direction Josee disappeared in?"

"No, I'm afraid not." Gru says. "Harvest may be good for scouting an area, but since Josee hasn't shown herself to us since yesterday, I don't think we can give chase anytime soon."

"So, I guess we need to scout out more supplies if we want to rest here. Rations are starting to run out." Finn says.

"But still, we need to be wary of the danger she possesses." Tabes says. "Even if she's away from us, it doesn't stop her from being a threat or not. Sooner or later, we might bump into her again."

Suddenly, the group hears distant horse gallops coming from the west. The group turns to the direction of the sounds and sees another group has arrived. The members were Aloy, Gwen, Owen and Zoey. Zoey and Owen were seen carrying large duffel bags of supplies. The group stood up to meet the new arrivals of the clearing.

"Whoa! What happened to you guys?" Zoey asked, seeing the injured state of Ranger Tabes.

"Yeah, do you guys need help?" Aloy asked.

"No, not really. We've been resting here for a while now, and we got some plans for scouting for supplies." Finn says.

"So, what exactly happened here?" Owen asked. "Did a fight happen or something?"

"Yeah, you heard the announcements, right? The one named Josee is beginning to kill off the competition." Tabes says. "We're lucky to survive the attack, but I can't say the same for those two."

Tabes then points at the graves of Callum and Rayla. The four newcomers begin to absorb the information.

"It's about time someone decided to become a problem." Gwen says. "And that someone is who we know all too well."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Gru asked.

"She was someone from our universe." Gwen says. "We were once part of a competition show. Josee was also one, but never competed with us."

"Hold on, so like a game show?" Lucy asked.

"Yes. And since I actually watched the game she was in, I know exactly what kind of person she is." Zoey says. "She is someone with a drive to dominate the competition by any means necessary. She values winning over anything else, and she has done horrible things in the heat of the competition."

"Whoa. Now I sure thought she was extremely driven, but that description was… wow." Finn says.

"So this is bad. There is a killer on the loose, and anyone who doesn't know who they're fighting against will realize when it's too late." Aloy asked. "Can you guys explain her Stand ability?"

"No, with someone like Josee, an explanation isn't enough." Gwen says as she gets off her horse. "Which of you guys took on Josee?"

"I think I'm who you're looking for. What do you need, kid?" Tabes asked.

"I need a detailed description about the fight, not just the Stand ability." Gwen says. "Mind if I do something?"

"Like… ask me questions or something?" Tabes asked.

"No. This will be a lot easier." Gwen says. "Don't worry, this won't hurt."

"Wait, what is she talking about?" Gru asked.

"Okay, give me information. Heaven's Door!" Gwen yelled.

In a flash, Gwen's Stand, Heaven's Door, appears once again. The Stand then touches Ranger Tabe's arm, and the skin folds up like a book, revealing pages detailing the battle that had taken place the day before.

"Whoa! A Stand ability?!" Tabes exclaimed.

"Yeah. It's a Stand that can turn people into books detailing their lives." Gwen says. "Now, Aloy. Can you come here and scan the text into your Focus?"

Aloy jumps off her horse and walks up to Gwen and Tabes. She taps her Focus on her ear and it begins scanning and analyzing the pages created by Gwen's Heaven's Door.

"Hey, Owen. Can I talk to you for a sec?" Zoey asked.

"Sure. What do you need?" Owen accepts the request.

"Well… It's about our teammate, Aloy." Zoey says. "Ever since our first Stand encounter back in the Arizona Desert, I've haven't really considered her as part of the team."

"Really? But it's been weeks since then." Owen says. "And besides, Gwen seems to get along with her, and it's rare to see someone get along with her."

"I know, and that's what's upsetting me. She seems like a friendly type, but for some reason, I sense something about her that doesn't sit right with me." Zoey says.

"You're saying we shouldn't trust her?" Owen asks.

"Not exactly, but I think we should just be wary of her." Zoey says. "She has a strong fighting spirit, I'll give her that. But I think she has another motive than just going through the race."

"Okay. I'll try to keep that in mind." Owen says.

After the scanning, Aloy taps her Focus again, and the device lets out a hologram of Josee, her Stand, Killer Queen, and the newly found ability called Sheer Heart Attack.

"Alright. I think I've gotten enough information here to gain an understanding." Aloy says. "So this is the Stand, Killer Queen."

"And her ability is bombs. Doesn't sound good already." Gwen says. "And reading the details of the fight, she makes incredible use of it."

"Okay. I think we have what we need to know." Aloy says. "Before we leave, do you guys need anything?" She turns to ask the group who were camping.

"Oh yeah, right. We're needing a resupply, and we've just begun to make plans to scout out." Lucy says.

"Alright, let us handle this." Aloy says. "I'll use my Focus to see if there are any supplies nearby."

Aloy walks to her horse and jumps on it. She then taps her Focus to scan around the area. After a while, her Focus picks up two signals.

"Okay, my Focus detects two unopened care packages that have landed around here." Aloy says. "One up north and the other down south."

"I'll stay here. I think I need to read more into the fight." Gwen says. "So, which of you guys will go out."

"I'll help Aloy. Excluding Gwen, I'm the only one in my group with a Stand." Owen says.

"Great. I'll be heading for the north care package, and you head for the south." Aloy explains.

"Aye aye, Cap'n!" Owen says enthusiastically.


7 Minutes Later…

We see Owen riding his horse through the forest. He's going slowly though, to place waypoints to head back to the clearing when he's done.

"Okay, what I'm looking for is another care package. And when that happens, I take the supplies back to the clearing. And if I have space, I can bring back the Stand Arrow for one of us." Owen says to himself.

After a while of riding and placing down waypoints, he sees something sticking out of a bush.

"Is that the care package?" Owen asked himself.

Owen jumps off his horse and walks up to the bush. He pushes the branches aside to reveal an unopened care package lying in wait.

"It is! I'm bringing back a fortune of supplies today!" Owen yells in excitement.

Owen touches the glowing blue disc on the side of the package, and it opens up revealing a whole mass of supplies and food.

"I've hit the jackpot, baby!" Owen yells as he grabs the Stand Arrow.

Suddenly, in a flash, the entire care package of supplies shrinks down into just a tiny pile of the supplies, much to the surprise of Owen.

"What the?! It shrunk?!" Owen exclaimed.

"It's what I need to do in order to store large amounts of supplies efficiently." A female voice was heard.

Owen then goes into a stance, not familiar with the voice, he naturally assumed it was an enemy. And out from behind a tree, a figure revealed herself to be the eldest and most easily irritated child of the Flynn-Fletcher family, Candace Flynn-Fletcher.

"Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna have to take the arrow along with the supplies." Candace says. "My group is gonna need all we can get if we ever run into whoever's killing off the competition."

"What? No, I got to these supplies first!" Owen yelled. "I've got injured teammates that need the supplies!"

"Look, I'm sorry man, but we're gonna have to begin moving in a few minutes, and we need some supplies to last a long trip." Candace says. "No if you don't give me, the arrow, I'm gonna have to take it by force."

"No, I'm gonna take these supplies and bring them back to the injured!" Owen yells.

"Ugh, okay then, but don't blame me for this. I didn't want to have to do this in the first place, but you made me do this." Candace says as she begins to glow a cyan aura.

Suddenly, another figure appears from Candace. A blue metallic colored figure with mostly robotic features, with dark rubbery segments on its neck, upper arms, wrists and torso, while the head and shoulders are armored. Bolts of varying sizes were seen on the body. The fingers mostly seem to be normal except for the left index finger, which consists of a long green curved blade. It has two bulbous eyes with massive pupils without irises, no visible nose, pronounced cheekbones and a large rectangular frown with a flat panel of vertical lines representing teeth.

The figure, seen as Candace's Stand, uses it's index finger blade to slash a cut on Owen's cheek, which sent him to the ground.

"Gah! What the?! It hurts!" Owen panicked as he tries to stop the bleeding.

"Man, what a pushover. I didn't want to do this, but you had to do this to yourself." Candace says.

As Candace goes to pick up the arrow and ths supplies, the wind direction seems to change, and wind pressure begins to accumilate around Owen as he calmed down.

"You…" Owen muttered under his breath.

"Um…" Candace didn't like where this was going.

"You…" Owen then turns around while covering his facial would. "...won't let you get away with my friends supplies!"

Suddenly, as Owen glowed a red-orange aura, something appears and flies upwards near the tree canopies. It looked like a small toy fighter jet, colored red and with a figure seen inside the cockpit. The plane itself looks like a propeller monoplane fighter with the propeller in the front and given slight features like eyes and mouth designs. It's wheels retract into the fuselage, and it has weaponry involving a machine gun under each of the wings and a bomb lodged under the fuselage.

The plane then sends itself upright and faces Candace.

"What the heck is that?!" Candace exclaims.

"Aerosmith!" Owen yells.
