A/N: Let's get a few things out of the way before we can begin.

1. If you don't know by the summary, Part 6 does not exist in this universe, the only original character from Stone Ocean present in this story is Jolyne. So Dio never had a diary and whatnot.

2. I know that there are many returning characters from part 3, especially part 4, but this story isn't really about them. You'll see in future chapters that this story will really be about my own original characters and their own Stands, (I've made 20+ original Stands for this fanfiction).

3. This will be updated every Friday with no exceptions. Doesn't matter if it's a holiday or not. So expect a new chapter every Friday without any breaks until the story is finished. If I don't post on a Friday, then assume I'm dead. Or my internet's down. You choose.

4. Lastly, there is a bit of cursing in this fanfiction, but there will be no slurs or f words. Enough rambling, enjoy and feel free to comment, I will respond to all the comments I can, so feel free to ask questions.

Episode 40: The Trial-The Wall Part 12

9:00 AM

"David says he wants us to leave," Elliot said as he hung up the phone and helped Tankian to his feet, "Let's find Vitas and Heatfield and get out of here. He still has thirty-five minutes before Pink Floyd: Part 2's time limit is over. He'll get the rest of them."

"What about Dianne and Greta?" Tankian asked, leaning on Elliot to keep his balance, "Is David gonna get rid of them too?"

"He didn't say anything about them," Elliot said, "We can only assume that David is getting rid of all the players."

"I see," Tankian said, "Let's get Vitas and Heatfield."

Elliot helped Tankian walk through the borders. The two headed for Dianne's mansion.

"Beedul's sacrifice will have been worth it," Elliot said, "After today, everything will be over. All loose ends will be tied."

Tankian stayed quiet, wincing with every step as the two crossed the final border into the photograph of Dianne's mansion. As soon as they entered and saw the red-stained grass outside the mansion, their hearts seemed to stop.

"Vitas… Heatfield…"

Upon seeing the decapitated corpses of Vitas and Heatfield, Tankian and Elliot's hearts seemed to have stopped. They stood, frozen in horror at the sight they saw.

"Wh-wha…?" Tankian was at a loss for words.

"They did this…" Elliot said, "Kakyoin, Jotaro, Binns, and Portobello. They had to have done this! We need to find them, Tankian! Make sure they lose! No matter what!"

Chop Suey sprang up and rushed towards the walls of Dianne's mansion, taking a huge chomp out of them. Tankian's body began to harden as he put a hand on Elliot's shoulder.

"We'll beat them so bloody, they'll wish they were dead."

Elliot nodded, Def Leppard, appearing next to him, "We've already lost too much today. We'll make sure they lose everything!"

"What about Dianne?" Tankian asked, "Do you think she also had a part in this?"

"No, she's not stupid enough to go against The Wall. She's too scared of us. Plus, she knows that Greta will be punished as well. And what does she have to lose with siding with us? We're getting rid of her enemies for her. We only brought her and Greta here in case we needed to be healed. It would be simply idiotic to side against us."

"Yes, but it was also idiotic wasting all the Stand users in her mansion instead of coming to us first. If she was bold enough to send Stand users to attack the Joestars, she should've let us know sooner. Then a lot of deaths would have been prevented."

"I don't know what she was thinking," Elliot shook his head, "I'll talk to her when we find her."

Tankian nodded and the two walked into the border, not daring to see Vitas and Heatfield's bodies again. They would deal with the grief later, now they had to make sure their comrades were avenged. The two looked back through every photo in the pocket dimension before stepping through a border and finding themselves within a picture of some buildings in Morioh. They saw it. A small glimpse of a figure, wearing a coat to hide most of its body. The parts of its body that were exposed were pink. It had written the keywords for Binns and Portobello directly in their line of sight.

"There they are," Elliot said, "I'm gonna rip their arms off."

"Not yet," Tankian said, "I think Dianne's helping us. There's no way David can be this accurate with Pink Floyd. He only knows who's in what photographs. He can't see inside the photographs to know exactly where to put the correct person's keywords. Dianne, on the other hand, can. She must be using Red Nightmare to help us."

"Good," Elliot said, "I'll beat the ever living shit out of them, and Dianne can kill them for us. Then we'll all walk out of here happy."

...

"That's Tankian?" Tenmei asked, "He's the user for Chop Suey, right?"

"Yes, that's correct," Dianne said.

"He's already been injured," Jotaro said, "I don't think he'll pose as much of a threat as Elliot. What's his Stand's range?"

"Up to twenty meters," Dianne said, "Chop Suey can eat anything within twenty meters of Tankian."

"So it's a pretty long-range Stand," Tenmei said, "That means it must have pretty poor offensive capabilities."

"It all depends on what it eats," Dianne said, "Let's finish this up fast. If we manage to kill them, our only issue will be Pink Floyd: Part 2. We can wait out these last twenty-five minutes if we're careful enough. David should be defenseless by himself. The only problem I can see is after the time limit expires and we transport back to him, he could use Pink Floyd to transport himself inside his pocket dimension to escape us."

"But his Stand doesn't have any offensive capabilities, right?" Jotaro asked.

"No, none whatsoever," Dianne said, "He's pretty damn good at hiding the Stand, though. He only fully reveals it when he's ready to activate Pink Floyd: Part 3."

"And we can't let that happen," Tenmei said, "So long as the three of us can survive the remaining minutes without looking at any keywords, we'll be fine."

"Yes," Dianne said, "We should kill Elliot Collen first. But we can't let Tankian get too close."

Jotaro eyed Dianne, "Don't even try it."

"What do you mean?" Dianne asked, "Don't try what?"

"You're slowly inching closer to me," Jotaro said, "If you touch me, you'll gain my Star Platinum, correct? I've been keeping my eyes on you. I've been making sure that you haven't been obtaining any new Stands. You already have Kakyoin's, Fletcher's, and Jones', Stands. I've been making sure that you haven't touched me, Binns, Portobello Belle, Hozier, or Jolyne. I won't let you gain all those Stands."

"Right," Dianne said, "How foolish of me."

"You make one more move towards me or them, and Star Platinum will twist your neck around before you have time to process that you've been killed."
Dianne shuddered, upon hearing this. Jotaro Kujo is definitely my worst enemy right now. Worse than The Wall. He needs to be eliminated here. I'll help them kill Elliot and Tankian. That'll get them off my back. Then I'll use Pink Floyd on them to put them under Part 2's control. I'll tell David that Greta and I have been helping The Wall out this entire time. That way, we won't be put under Pink Floyd's ability too. After all of this is over, I'll kill David. And all of my enemies will be gone. Then I'll be able to live out the rest of my short life with Greta.

Dianne had already turned Pink Floyd back into Red Nightmare. The fog wrapped around her legs, as if it were never gone.

"What's the plan, Jotaro?" Tenmei asked, turning towards the Joestar.

"Dianne," Jotaro said, "Scallion Pryce's Stand. It can enter another's body through an open wound, correct?"

"You mean Parasite?" Dianne asked, "Yes, so long as the host has an open wound with direct access to blood flow, it'll be able to enter their body."

"I see," Jotaro said, "How close do you have to be in order to control Tankian?"

"Ten meters," Dianne said, "But my body would be defenseless."

"We'll protect you," Jotaro said, "Do you think that Chop Suey can bite through Def Leppard's dense air?"

"I'm not sure," Dianne said, "But I'm assuming you'd like me to try?"

Jotaro nodded as he looked at Tenmei, "As opposed to using your Red Nightmare and turning into Chop Suey, try to control Tankian. That way you'll be able to use his Chop Suey and Elliot won't have anyone else to back him up. I'll stay behind so I can protect Dianne's body." he looked back at all Joanne, Kenna, Hozier, Jolyne, Binns, Portobello, and Greta, "I'll make sure they don't get harmed either."

Tenmei nodded. Ruby Tuesday, using the blood of Vitas and Heatfield that it was still carrying, created two gladius shortswords. It also wrapped the blood around its body to create spiked armor.

"We just need to get close enough," Dianne said, "Get me within ten meters, I'll handle the rest. If you take advantage of my unconscious body, I'll kill you all."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it," Tenmei said, "You can trust me so long as I can trust you. Let's focus on The Wall first. They're the bigger threat."

"Thunderstruck!" Dianne yelled out the blue Stand's name as Red Nightmare took its shape.

"What's that for?" Tenmei asked, "I thought you were gonna use Parasite."

"Yes," Dianne said, "But until I get the right opening, I'd prefer to feel a little more protected."

Tenmei sighed, "You're such a strategic thinker. Just like I am. Defeating you after all this is over is gonna be a pain in the ass."

"You won't defeat me," Dianne said, beginning to approach Elliot and Tankian, "You will die if you keep getting in my way."

"I doubt that," Tenmei said, "But I don't underestimate you either. Be wary, Dianne Donovan, you are fighting a battle in which you are outnumbered. And don't think I'll let you go after you killed Polnareff and Hol Horse. I haven't forgotten about that."

"Save your idle threats for after these two are dead," Dianne said as she stopped just fifteen meters short of Elliot and Tankian.

"Dianne," Elliot said, "What are you doing here with him? Are you betraying us?"

"It's complicated," Dianne said, "What about you guys? Are you betraying me? You're the ones who brought me and Greta in here in the first place."

"You should know we only needed you to heal us with Redbone," Elliot said, "We were never planning on getting rid of you."

"Where are the others?" Dianne asked, pretending to not know what happened to the other members of The Wall.

"So you don't even know?" Tankian asked, "Beedul was killed by that damn Bono. And we have reason to believe that Kakyoin is responsible for killing Vitas and Heatfield."

"Bono?" Dianne asked, "So Beedul broke the contract? Who did he kill?"

Elliot sighed, "June Eaden and Ally Clayton."

In a flash, Tenmei and Ruby Tuesday sprang toward Elliot. The ground around Elliot began to soften and grow less dense as he sank. Tenmei and Ruby Tuesday followed regardless, sinking as well.

"I don't know what you're trying to do, Kakyoin," Elliot said as Def Leppard began to increase the density of its surroundings, "But you're a damn fool!"

The two froze in the air, their Stands included.

"Don't try anything, Dianne," Tankian said, "You and Greta can still make it out of this safely. All that's left are Kakyoin and Jotaro, right? They're the only ones who have yet to be put under Pink Floyd: Part 2's influence, correct?"

"Yes," Dianne said, "Where are you going with this?"

"Kakyoin can't move. If you used Pink Floyd to write his keyword down, he won't be able to look away. Then you can help us take out Jotaro."

Dianne looked back at Jotaro, considering the offer. In an instant, Jotaro was gone. He was now suddenly closer, Star Platinum holding Greta by the throat. Greta thrashed and struggled in the Stand's grip.

"D-don't worry about me!" she managed to yell out, "Do it, Dianne, we can win this way!"

"So you lied about her being under Pink Floyd: Part 2's influence, didn't you?" Jotaro asked, "You have lost any trust I might've had for you. You're just as dishonorable as your father. I should've expected as much."

"Let her go!" Dianne, disregarding everything, lunged at Jotaro, Thunderstruck ready to punch him until his head burst.

Jotaro stopped time and appeared farther away from Dianne, "This is your last chance. Kill Tankian and Elliot, and I'll spare your wife's life. If you try to come near me again, I'll kill her."

"Damn you, Jotaro," Dianne said through gritted teeth, "You've always been the biggest thorn in my side. She chuckled, "Although, I doubt you'd waste your time with Greta when I can kill everyone else."

Thunderstruck turned into Amplifier before Dianne vanished. Jotaro gasped, looking back at Joanne and the others. He looked as Amplifier turned into Freakshow, claws ready to pierce through the heads of everyone.

"Yare yare daze," he stopped time, dropping Greta, before rushing towards the others. He knew he would be able to make it in time just barely within the five-second limit. He could see his target, Freakshow, its claws were just centimeters away from Portobello and Jolyne's heads. It appeared Dianne was going for the two closest people to Jotaro first. He arrived with another second left to spare.

"I'll break your neck before time resumes," he said, "You chose wrong not to heed my warning, Dianne Donovan." Just as Star Platinum was ready to twist Freakshow's head around, Jotaro saw something and stopped. Dianne was facing away from a border. By facing Dianne, Jotaro had a clear view of the border. This was where he read the word, 'Crusaders', and suddenly stopped. He felt an odd wave of relaxation rise in his body. He didn't have to kill Dianne, what was the point? All the fear he felt suddenly rushed out of him. Time began to resume.

"So it worked," Dianne said, "Look what's happened to you, Jotaro. You've lost!" she walked up to him and touched him, "Finally, the ability to stop time is mine!" She looked back at Freakshow, ready to kill Jolyne and Portobello, "I might as well kill them."

Just as Freakshow's claws thrust forward, they were sliced off along with their hands. Dianne stumbled back in pain, looking at her own hands which had fallen to the ground. She yelled out as she realized what had happened. Blood began to pool out of her hands. That same blood rose before her and turned into dozens of spikes, ready to impale her.

"Wh-what?" she looked up at Tenmei, "K-Kakyoin? Wh-what the hell?!"

...

One minute earlier

Tenmei was trapped in Def Leppard's dense air with Elliot. He could strangely breathe easily, and could only move his eyes. He realized that he had gotten within two meters of Elliot. He had always planned to get stuck within the dense air but had lucked out by getting this close to him. He could still control the blood. The two shortswords along with the blood armor turned into a thin screw that twisted its way into the dense air, heading straight for Elliot's head. The closer he got to his target, the harder he strained to move the blood, but as it got within a few centimeters of Elliot, he felt the air around him soften.

"Damn it!" Elliot yelled out as he jumped out of the way, dodging the blood screw. Tenmei, now free to move, turned the blood into a spear and aimed it for Def Leppard's throat. Def Leppard attempted to jump out of the way but found the spear lodged through its shoulder. The impact sent Def Leppard falling back, and the spear dug into the ground, pinning Def Leppard.

"You're too far away from your Stand to trap me in dense air," Tenmei said, approaching Elliot. Ruby Tuesday followed, still carrying a bit of blood that formed into a knife.

"You've lost, Elliot Collen," Tenmei got ready to stab Elliot before hearing something that concerned him and turning around.

"Oh shit!" he quickly ran away from Elliot, seeing Dianne activate Amplifier before transporting to Joanne and the others. He kept running as he saw Jotaro disappear and reappear next to her. He didn't stop as he heard Dianne telling Jotaro how he lost. As soon as he was within range, he chopped off Freakshow's claws and hands. Without wasting a single moment, he approached Dianne, turning her own blood into spikes and getting ready to impale her. Freakshow turned into a bunch of spiders before they touched Binns and Portobello.

"The Space Between!" Dianne called out her new Stand before holding her breath. Right before the spikes could impale her, they turned into normal blood and splashed all over her face.

"What did you just do?" Tenmei looked in shock, "When did you touch Binns? When did you gain The Space Between?"

Dianne didn't respond, she quickly got back to her feet, continuing to hold her breath.

"There's no way you're holding your breath long enough to get away!" Tenmei yelled as he tackled Dianne to the ground and began to punch her in the face repeatedly.

"Come on! Breath, damn it! You're gonna die of blood loss either way. Your arms are bleeding like crazy!"

Dianne tried to get Tenmei off of her, but he was too strong. It took everything in her power to not breathe as he repeatedly punched her, breaking her nose and cutting her cheek open.

"You're not gonna get away again, Dianne! I'm not letting you escape this!"

Dianne glared at Tenmei, still stubbornly holding her breath. Tenmei raised his hand, ready to punch her again. Right before the punch connected, something blew off Tenmei's arm. He didn't even have time to react before he felt two holes being blown through his stomach as well. He spat out blood before falling over. Dianne looked to see what had rescued her.

"You're welcome," Elliot said, "Now heal him before he dies! Now!"

Dianne exhaled deeply, allowing the air to freely enter and exit her lungs again, "N-not yet… There's one thing I need to do first… Pink Floyd…"

Tenmei wheezed in pain as his body refused to respond, his breathing was uneasy, and the pain was so bad that he could somehow seem to hear it. His blurred vision stumbled upon the borders of the photograph, and his brain automatically read the word on that border: 'Uncle'.

"This… is… so… relaxing…" Tenmei closed his eyes.

Dianne summoned Redbone and got ready to climb inside its chest.

"No, heal Kakyoin first!" Elliot yelled, "He's on the brink of death! If he dies, I'm gonna die! I just risked killing him to save your life, Dianne! Heal him first!"

Dianne sighed, "Elliot, you piece of shit… I don't have any hands. Redbone can't pick Kakyoin up and put him in its chest…"

"I'll do it!" Elliot tried to pick Tenmei up, but his punctured shoulder prevented him from doing this.

"Step aside," Tankian said, "I'll help you."

Together, the two were able to pick Tenmei and his severed arm up and place him inside Redbone. Tenmei was fully healed within a few seconds, and Elliot and Tankian helped Dianne with her hands inside the red Stand. As Redbone was healing Dianne, Greta had finally made her way over, clutching her throat and coughing.

"Is she alright? Is she going to be alright?"

"She's fine," Elliot said.

Redbone opened its chest, and Dianne stepped out. She immediately saw Greta and hugged her, "Are you okay, Greta? Did Jotaro hurt you? I'm so sorry!"

"You're fine," Greta said, "You didn't do anything wrong. I'm fine too. My throat just hurts a bit—" Upon hearing this, Dianne had ordered Redbone to scoop Greta up and put her inside its chest. "How come you're healing her first?" Elliot said, clutching his shoulder, "Tankian and I are hurting more than she is!"

"Let Greta and I out of here first. I'll heal you all after we're out of Pink Floyd's pocket dimension."

"It's a reasonable request," Tankian said, "I'll notify David now."

Dianne nodded as Greta made her way out of Redbone, fully healed, "What about them?" Dianne asked, looking at everyone under Pink Floyd: Part 2's influence, "Do you want me to kill them all?"

"Had you asked me that earlier, I would've said yes," Elliot said, "But I'd prefer to let their souls suffer forever. It's the least I can do after they killed Heatfield and Vitas."
"R-right," Dianne said, "Does this mean it's all over? There's no way they can escape from this, I'm sure we all know it. This is it. It's finally all over. After the trial we faced, we finally won."

Dianne laughed as she along with Greta, Elliot, and Tankian found themselves in a hospital room, David standing next to them.

"Is it done?" David asked.

"Yes," Tankian said, "Everyone is under your Pink Floyd: Part 2's influence."

"Where are Vitas, and Heatfield?" David asked, looking around the room.

"David… They didn't make it…" Elliot said this with tears in his eyes.

David took a few steps back, "Oh… I see… I didn't think our losses would be so heavy…" He sat down on the hospital bed, sighing, "I'll finish this all off with Pink Floyd: Part 3, and then we can all grieve together."

...

Joanne, Kenna, Jolyne, Hozier, Binns, Portobello, Jotaro, and Tenmei all stood together, laughing and talking about how relaxed they were. This was until they heard heavy footsteps and looked in the direction that they were coming from.

"I hope you're all relaxed."

Its voice sounded both natural and artificial at the same time. Most of its body was hidden under a trenchcoat. Its pink arms and feet would be seen, a brick pattern plastered on them. Its face had two, glowing red eyes, staring intently at its targets.

"I am Pink Floyd. This is my ability. How does that make you feel?"

"Very relaxed."

Almost zombie-like, everyone said these words at the same time.

"Good," Pink Floyd said, its ghastly smile revealing crooked and uneven teeth, "Let Pink Floyd: Part 3 commence."

The borders around the photograph began to wrap around everything, engulfing it in blackness, Pink Floyd floated above the ground, now turned into the borders. Everyone else slowly sunk into them.

"Let us disappear into the darkness," Pink Floyd said, instantly sinking into the borders as well, "Let us make it to the end of the photo album. Only then will your souls be locked away in my collection. Like little bricks, piled up to make a wall. All in all, you're just another brick in the wall."

9:25 AM

...

A/N: And that's chapter 40! We're nearing the end of The Wall arc, so bear with me folks! First things first, let's get a couple musical references out of the way. The first is the title of this chapter, The Trial, once again a song from Pink Floyd's The Wall. And the final sentence, "All in all, you're just another brick in the wall." is a direct quote from Pink Floyd's song, Another Brick in the Wall. Anyway, everyone has fallen victim to Pink Floyd: Part 2, and Part 3 has finally activated, revealing Pink Floyd's design. The time limit runs out in ten minutes, so will Pink Floyd have enough time to complete Part 3? And how will Dianne and Greta deal with Elliot, Tankian, and David? Are they going to side with The Wall, or take them out once and for all? Also, I'd like to remind you once again that I updated Episode 28: Hot Soft Light with Binns' backstory, so please make sure to check it out I'll only remind you one more time after this, so please go back and read it. Anyway, I'll see you all next week for Episode 41: Beyond The Wall Part 13!
