POV: Gelato Ragazzo
Today was a good for Gelato, his mother had made his favorite type of pancakes for breakfast, he had aced his school test and a nice mister in blue 'or was it pink?' whom he met briefly was nice enough to buy him an ice cream cone!
Gelato knows that he probably shouldn't be accepting things from total strangers like his mother had told him multiple times before, especially if said thing is in a white baggie, but being the naive child he was he figured it couldn't hurt to take it just this once right? After all the ice cream came from the ice cream vender who's been working in this spot for as long as he could remember.
And thus with that logic Gelato excitedly accepted the ice cream from the nice mister and ran off happily towards home. As he was busy licking his newly acquired treat, Gelato stopping paying attention to his surroundings but was quickly brought back to reality once he bumped into someone causing part of his ice cream to spill onto them.
"Hey! Watch where you're goin' kid!" Yelled a obese police officer as he turned his attention from his partner to Gelato. Knowing he was in trouble Gelato quickly apologized for his mistake "Mi dispiace Officer! I didn't mean it! I'm so sorry!" Galeto hastily apologized as he runs down the road and into a nearby alley hoping the police officers don't chase after him.
"Mio Dio! What a clumsy brat! Was he even watching where he was goi- AAAAAAHHHH! MY UNIFORM! MY BEAUTIFUL UNIFORM THAT I JUST WASHED YESTERDAY!" The officer screamed in anguish. "GET BACK HERE YA LITTLE SHIT!" The plus size law inforcer attempted to chase after him but before he could get very far his partner reached out with his long slender arm and grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Grande! Wait!" Quicking whipping his head around Grande questioned his friend "Sottile! Why did you stop me?"
"Of course I stopped you! Don't you remember what happened last time? I don't want you to hurt yourself again especially if its not necessarily!" Grande's face fall as he heard his friend's concerned voice. He knew exactly what he was talking about. Grande wasn't exactly the most athletic man alive as he so graciously demonstrated when he and his partner attempted to chase down a suspected drug dealer. Due to being out of shape he damn near had a heart attack near the end of the chase. Luckily for them the idiot dealer had decided it was a good idea to turn around and laugh at his condition thus giving his partner Sottile an opportunity to catch up and tackle him.
"Look, I know you've been more than eager to crack down on criminals ever since we started receiving 'Bonuses' from our 'Benefactor' but that kid ain't a criminal. Theres no need for you to run after him" Ah yes. Their "Benefactor" the ones who are paying their entire station to triple their efforts on hunting down their local branch of gangs. Dispite them being cops and knowing they shouldn't be excepting bribes like this they gave into eventually through a combination of peer pressure and the fact the "Deal" really wasn't all that bad. After all if you think about it they weren't doing anything PARTICULARLY illegal. Sure they're accepting bribes from a shady group but they're essentially getting paid more to do a job they're already doing. It's not like they were being paid to turn the other way. They're still doing good, they're just doing good while getting paid more now. This was the decision which lead Grande to nearly suffering a heart attack, although part of that was his own fault for letting himself go.
"..." Grande deadpanned. "I know Sottile! I've been letting myself go for a while now but I've been trying to get back into shape!" In response to this his partner gave him a skeptical look. "Really?"
"YES!" Grande yelled! Feeling slightly hurt at his friend's lack of faith in him. Now looking a little disgruntled he says to his still skeptical buddy "Besides! I'm not chasing the brat cause I want to arrest him or anything! I just want to lecture him so he'll be more careful! You know damn well he was lucky he ran into us! What if he ran into some other less than upright individual? With the crime rates at an all time high in recent years it's not unheard of for this to happen!"
Sottile signed. "Fine. You have a point. We'll go after him" As he says this he walks past Grande but not before jabbing him in the stomach with a smug look on his face "BUT! We're walking. After all we don't want you to tire yourself out again ain't that right?"
Tsk! "Oh screw you man! Let's just get going already!" Having said that he jogged after his friend who was already a fair distance away due to his tall stature.
POV: Diavolo
*GASP!* Diavolo erupts from a waterway gasping for air! Latching his arms and hands around a nearby fence built to prevent passerby from accident falling into the water. After taking a few seconds to compose himself from his sudden underwater entrance he laments to himself. "Accidenti! Damn it! Damn it!" He had been bested again! Him! The most Notorious crimelord of his age! His ERA! How could he have fallen for such a simple trick!? Not even he himself thought he would have fallen for a elementary level trick! "I bet that japanese bastard is laughing at my stupidity right this moment!" He said to himself as he crawled his way out of the waterway. "I bet he's looking down on me right now!" How dare he look down on him? DIAVOLO of all people!? He was going to make him PAY for this transgression once he escapes from [Gold Experience Requiem]!
With his power and influence it shouldn't be hard for him to track down someone even if they're from overseas! Especially since he had his name! As the Don is cursing the latest adolescent to put him in his place he glared at his surroundings trying to figure out where that blasted [Gold Experience Requiem] had dumped him this time. To his shock instead of being greeted by God knows where, he instead was faced with an awfully familiar set of building architecture. His eyes widened at the possibility! "C...could I have..?" He glances around more. "Could I have escaped?" He softly said in disbelief.
Could he truely have escaped the dreaded powers of [Gold Experience Requiem]? But how? Why? When!? All of that didn't matter as the Mofioso immediately upped his guard! This was too easy! Theres no way he could have gotten away so easily! Not when he got his ass handed to him so badly in the last life! This stinks of a trap! With this in mind he cautiously scanned his surroundings for what seemed like the millionth time for any threats before he finally somewhat let his guard down to think.
'Hmmm... This doesnt seem right. It looks like I'm back to Italy but for all I know this could be a trap' Diavolo finally decide to stop standing around and starts to cautiously explore the place. 'I need more information' He thought to himself 'A street sign, a calendar, tv, anything that will let me know where I right now' As he was contemplating his next course of action he comments on his environment. "I seem to be in an alley or at the very least somesort of remote area if the lack of activity is anything to go by. Then first things first that means I will have to find a way out of here befo-!"
He had bumped into someone. Diavolo instinctively summons forth [King Crimson] to incapacitate whoever had just snuck up on him as he turned the corner, pinning his assailant to a wall! At the same time he leap a small distance back to give some distance between himself and his possible attacker! Calming his heart from the sudden shocking intrusion, he finally calms down enough to get a good look at his would be ambusher!
"What th- it's just a kid?" Diavolo looked at the 7 or 8 year old kid he had just captured in confusion. 'What is a kid doing here in such a shady place? Is he a Stand User? No, if he was he would have defended himself already' Diavolo continued to glare death at the clearly frightened child within [King Crimson]'s grasp as if he was expecting him to suddenly turn into a wolf that would eat him whole should he lose eye contact for even a moment.
The kid for the most part seemed pretty calm given his situation but then again Diavolo reasoned that the child was probably still in shock to put up any type of struggle. 'Hmmm since he doesn't seem like he's a Stand User he could serve my purposes well" the Mob Boss thought to himself. This must have been a twist of fate for him to get his hands on a civilian just as he was thinking of gathering information. Now that he had a valuable source of info on his hands he planned to extract every bit of use from this child before discarding him. After all the child had already committed the heinous sin of seeing his face and Diavolo wasn't exactly the most forgiving of people if the burning of his hometown was anything to go by.
As he approached the child in order to search him in case he had a weapon. His eyes widened as he suddenly heard multiple sets of footsteps coming from the direction of where the child orginally came from!
POV: Grande & Sottile
"Shit, where'd the kid go? I could have sworn he went this way!" Grande complained. "It's your fault you were so slow!" Sottile replied. "Man, what did you expect? You know my condition just as well as I do! Besides you have long legs! You have an unfair advantage over me!"
"Didn't you say you started working out? I thought you would have at least been able to keep up!" Sottile retorted. "Give me a break would ya? I just started! Jeez! Anyways where's the kid? We should really find him soon. This place looks damn sketchy. I hope he didn't get himself into trouble"
"Hmm I think he might have gone this way"
"Well whatcha waiting for then? Let's go!" Having said that Grande jogs off first in an pitiful attempt to get ahead of Sottile who just chuckles under his breath at his friend's childish antics. After half a minute of walking they heard a sudden sound coming from one of the branching alleyways. The duo's faces harden at the sound.
"You heard that?" Sottile whispered to his partner. "Yeah, get ready Sottile. There might be trouble" Normally a sudden noise wouldn't have gotten much attention, but in their decade long career as law inforcers in the most crime ridden city of their time, they've learn it's better to be careful rather then possibly hurt or worse. The duo carefully approaches the source of the noise and as they did the noise got louder.
It sounded like the whimpering of a child. "Fuck, I knew it. The kid got himself into trouble" Grande whispered under his breath. He then looked to his partner and whispered "You know what to do"
Sottile quietly nodded. His face dead serious. They've done this before. Sottile reached for his standard issue police walkie talkie and pistol, ready to call for reinforcements or back up his partner if necessary. He then backed off a bit to the corner as to avoid being seen by whatever thug is on the other side of this wall. Grande nodded back after seeing his friend is prepared. He then walked around the corner by himself.
"Hey there buddy" He said in a neutral voice as to not agitate the assailant. "Watcha got there?" He calmly said. 'Shit! It's just as I feared! It's the fucking kid!' Grande clenched his teeth. He had to deal with this carefully. He glances from the kid to the man and then back to the kid. 'The culprit seems to be searching the child. Must have been a mugging then' The officer calmly analyzed the situation. 'That means I possibly just made the situation worse' Normally for mugging cases the victims tended to get off scott free so long as they cooperated with the robber. But in a case such as his, thats not always an option. Since a cop showed up the criminal has a high likelihood of doing something drastic to avoid getting arrested. If he's lucky the criminal would choose to drop everything and run which tended to be the more likely route a thug would take but it's also very likely this could easily turn into a hostage situation which it seems to unfortunately be turning into as the culprit holding the child doesn't seem like he was planning to flee. Hell he even seems more relaxed now that he had confirmed Grande was a cop. This isn't going to be an easy one for sure.
"Now there friend, I'm not here to hurt you ok? Just drop the child and you're free to leave!" Grande put his hands in the air as to show he was of no threat. He even offered him a get out of jail free card on top of it because the hostage took priority. 'We can always catch his ass later but the hostage might not have a later if we approach this wrong' he thought.
As he was waiting for a response from the man he took the time to analyze him from top to bottom for later use should he manage to get away. 'Aggressor looks to be in his 30s, pink hair, muscular build and dressed weirdly' Grande's face turned even more serious dispite his effort to look as neutral as possible. 'Fuck me, this guy looks like a pervert. Might have to reassess my early assumption' initially he had assumed this to be a normal robbery but now seeing that the person he was dealing with was clearly a weirdo of some sort, he might be dealing with an attempted rape instead. 'Damn it all. This was supposed to be just another day so why am I dealing with such an complicated situation all of a sudden? Let's just hope we all can get out of this unharmed' He silently prayed.
POV: Diavolo
Diavolo laughed in his mind. 'That's it? A single cop? THAT'S THE BEST YOU CAN DO, GIORNO GIOVANNA!?' Dispite his inward laughter Diavolo was pissed. HE WAS FUCKING PISSED. After all he's been through this is what he gets!? Not just the japanese bastard from before but now his GREATEST ADVERSARY IS LOOKING DOWN ON HIM TOO!? Was he not worth it anymore? Had all those hundreds of deaths before lowered Giorno's view of him? Did he think the Great Diavolo, Ruler, no! EMPEROR of Italy was a push over!? The worst part is he Honestly didn't blame him! Had this been the other way around he himself would have been disappointed that the person who nearly defeated him couldn't save themselves from a simple death loop! But atlas this wasn't the other way around. The once proud EMPEROR of Italy would not take this naked INSULT to him laying down! 'If that triple deep fried donut looking FRUAD of an Italian thinks the Great Kingpin of Italy's Unground Empire is going to lose to a simple COP who is probably already on my PAY ROLL then has another thing coming!'
Diavolo gritted his teeth hard enough to draw blood as his eyes exploded with new found determination to leave this cursed land and take back what was rightfully his! He summoned forth his Stand [King Crimson] as he walked forward, towards the cop while his eyes never lost contact even for a second. His steps were filled with a clear purpose and that purpose was to show Giorno who he was truely dealing with! He was no mere jester to be toyed with for his entertainment! To be humiliated for laughs! He was DIAVOLO! THE EMPEROR ON ITA- *BANG! BANG!*
All of a sudden when Diavolo least expects it a second cop jumps out of the corner just as he was about to reach Grande! [King Crimson] instantly dematerializes and materializes again to deflects the bullets coming from Diavolo's blind spot! The attack was so sudden and unexpected that Diavolo dropped Gelato who he still had on his hand until this moment! Quickly shaking himself out of his shock from the sudden ambush his face warps into the incarnation of FURY! He shouts "Not Jotaro. Not GIORNO. BUT EVEN A LOWLY COP DARES TO INSULT ME IN SUCH A WAY!?" How dare they open fire on him!? How dare they think a mere PEASANTS can take down a KING!? He was going to make them pay for thinking even THEY could PUSH HIM AROUND!
"[KING CRIMSON]!" Diavolo yelled in absolute Fury! [King Crimson]'s fist overlapped with his own as he thrusted it towards the one who shot at him at lightning speed! Sottile was unable to react in time and could only look on helplessly as the Capo's fist came rocketing at him! Sottile was still temporally in shock as all he saw was the criminal somehow causing the bullets to ricashae in mid air! By the time he recovered it was too late to dodge! But just as Sottile thought he was dead for sure another body barreling through right between him and Diavolo's fist along with a scream! "KID! FIRE NOW!"
*SPLASH!*
A giant bicep sized hole appears in Grande's chest sending blood, bones and organs everywhere! Diavolo had put everything into that punch and held nothing back! Even a Stand User would have died instantly upon contact let alone a normal human! The impact was so violent that the hole was even bigger then it should be due to the shockwaves! Everything had happened so suddenly that Sottile struggled to process what just happened as he watched his life long friend bleed to death right in front of him. He was so shocked he didn't even register how it shouldn't have been possible for a mere human fist to cause such exaggerated damage.
Diavolo was not much better as that split second of shock and confusion bought by Grande's sacrifice was all Gelato needed to fire the gun Grande had given him before jumping in to save his friend! Grande had a front row view of Diavolo deflecting Sottile's bullets and dispite not being able to see [King Crimson] he instantly knew deep down this man was no ordinary criminal! Despite this revelation his heart dropped as soon as he realized this meant that Diavolo would turn his agression to his partner! Supernatural powers and all! He couldn't let that happen! Whatever this criminal was going to do, it was almost certainly anything but normal! Even if it looks like it's just a simple sucker punch! The attack was already in progress but he couldn't just stop Diavolo in his tracks even if he shot him. The bullets will take time to knock Diavolo down and by then the punch would have already followed through and that's assuming they would even hit and not directly ricashae off like they did before! The other option was to simply get in the way of the punch but his instincts from his years worth of combat experience told him he absolutely could not afford take that punch! Faced with this dilemma and left with no time to choose he decided to simply do both! He quickly drew his gun which already had its safety off due to prior preparation and threw it to the kid! It was risky and he didn't know if the kid actually knew how a gun worked at all but it's better then nothing! He sprinted after Diavolo faster than he ever had in his life while yelling instructions to the child in hopes he would understand and luckily for him his gamble paid off. He had made it in time to save his friend and the kid was smart enough to know how to pull a trigger. He had managed to delay Diavolo long enough for the kid to take him out with a clean headshot even with his shaking hands!
Even Grande was impressed he managed to pull this off. With his last breath he muttered "L-luck-ky lit-tlee S-shhiiittttt..."
Grande had died instantly. The moment went on for what felt like forever for both Sottile and Gelato as they watched both bodies collapse to the floor. One with a smug smirk on their face while the other's expression was forever frozen in shock with a gaping hole through his head.
