Part 3:~Stardust Coachriders~
Episode: XII: The Devourer of Gods
Joseph sat with Pinkie Pie, her hair straightened and her new hand.
"So... Kakyoin should have his sight back soon."
"Well when you get Speedwagon's docs to come over and the fact the Stand missed his pupils, you get to breathe a sigh of relief."
She took in a dramatic breath and sighed loudly with a cool smile.
"Zecora's tough! Apparently, her shoulders and arms shouldn't be working right, but she should be good in a week at best. We really got lucky with this merry band of kooks."
"Reminiscing, you hag?"
"A lil bit! Though, Jotaro..."
"He'll be fine. I was worried too, but you should have seen it."
"Heard he didn't go quietly! In that condition too?"
"He's as tough as they get... Avdol is at the front, there are even a few officers here now. It should be difficult for anyone to get in."
"I just wonder why they have to serve this dry mulch to us? Eugh?"
"Pinkie, it's probably the fact you have raw sugar in your veins instead white and red blood cells!"
Avdol vigilantly watched the entrance as a few guards from the local police had patrolled. He only blinked before he saw the strangest thing. A nightmare of a monster. Humanoid and powerful in structure. Even from afar Avdol could tell that even Joseph, the tallest of the group, wouldn't even reach the chest of the beast. It was reptilian in nature. Violet scales with a pale skin beneath, dirt stained claws and green spikes that started from the crown of the head to tip of the long tail. It barely wore any clothes, tattered and shredded from the size alone. The eyes were a literal burning flame. The green irises and pupils mixed into a small fierce fire. No lips, only a horrific maw littered with beautifully sharp fangs. Hunched over, the creature had nearly passed the guards. It raised it's claws high and bring them down with speed Avdol was sure was impossible for it's size.
"SIRS! MOVE!"
"Eh?" "What's he yelling about?"
The claws slammed down against the ground and sunk easily into the earth. The guards were knocked away by the force, but were completely ignored. It tore through the doors and walls as it lunged ahead on all fours. Avdol held his arms up as Magician's Red created a shield of flames, yet the tail made it through. He felt it. His ribs must have snapped upon impact. He had put everything into his fire. Nothing in this world or even the next should have made it through without harm. He collided with a wall and fell to his knees. The creature tilted it's head at him. A nurse screamed and ran for the exit, but fell back as she had bumped into the beast.
"Wh-What's happening!? Wasn't there an explosion!? What did I just run into!?"
Avdol's eyes widened as the creature grabbed her, gently lifted her up, and softly pushed her to the exit.
"Such savagery... And yet, it only targets me..."
Avdol stood as Magician's Red spewed a torrent of fire at the creature, but was caught in a deadlock with venomous green flames shooting out from the mouth of the beast. The room was beginning to harden, then soften from the heat alone.
"Gods above! It-It can't be! In all my years, many Stands I have faced, but to use fire against my own, and successfully counter!? What is this thing!?"
Magician's Red soon gained the advantage, until the dragon merely walked into the flames. Eyes and mouth closed, the hands over it's ears. Even the tail wrapped around the nose.
"It truly is like Jotaro said! This thing is resilient! But, why would it cover the face up!?"
The dragon reached out and sank the claws into Magician's Reds shoulders. The fires gone now as the creature stared directly at the Stand. Avdol himself nearly fell from the pain of the grip. It pulled the Stand close and bit down deeply into the neck. Nearly and tried to rip Avdol's very throat out. However, in his mind, this being would not kill him. Magician's Red sent a burst of fire into the creature's eyes. He nearly lost his arms as it tore itself out of him just grab it's face in pain. A loud screech that rumbled the room and hurt Avdol's head. Ears ringing as he finally understood how to beat it.
"The openings...! It's hide truly is unstoppable, but the insides are as weak as any normal man! That's why Ms. Pie's [Candy Shop] is the ideal counter pick! I just, need to move... If I can just get to the elevator...!"
Avdol nearly shrieked as the dragon picked him up. The eyes had burned horribly, yet it could hear him. His heartbeat, his breathing, as well as the others he sought after. He could see from the vibrations around him as he tapped his tail. He was anything, but blind to his objective... Or so he thought. He threw Avdol into the elevator as it opened, a doctor and a few visitors ran out of the way. The guards had ran due to the heat and sudden destruction. Many would have passed out, or even died, and Avdol was approaching those numbers. However, his life did not raise him to not suffer. These wounds meant nothing, his friends depended on him! As the dragon charged, he used his Stand to press the elevator button. The fifth floor. That was it. He had barely made it as the doors closed and the elevator rose. He could tell from the violent shaking, the dragon had slammed his head into the wall. His heart had skipped a beat as a hand broke through the floor. It receded and came back at a different spot. Closer and closer, finally it had him! Or so it thought. Avdol, had used Magician's Red to create a fiery doppelganger as he escaped through fire exit above. The clone exploded, the force sensed Avdol high, and the dragon below. He burned down the doors and barely landed in time. Joseph and Pinkie were shocked at his condition, yet Avdol continued to crawl his way to them.
"Avdol!? What the Hell happened to you!?" "Avdol!? I'll fix you up!"
"Get back! The Stand is here! Ms. Pie! You have to get to Polnareff and-"
He flew past them due to an explosive force. The dragon had erupted from beneath Avdol. Joseph held his hand up as Hermit Purple shot from his hands to immobilize the beast.
"Pinkie! You heard Avdol! Didn't you learn a new trick!?"
"Sure did! Just drop your [Hermit Purple]! Yaaa!"
"PINKIE THAT'S THE WRONG WAY!"
Pinkie Pie leapt towards the dragon, Candy Shop's vines snaking out of her entire body to form a single large portal. The dragon went right through, as the portal sent him to the top of the elevator shaft. He fell down with a startling rumble upon hitting the first floor.
"My vines can make multiple small windows, or a very large one. Which leads me to my follow up act!"
The image changed, like a TV channel, Polnareff stood by Zecora. He turned with a confused expression.
"Wh-" "No time! Stand Attack! C'mere!"
She pulled him through and closed the portal as the vines retracted back into her body. She turned him around and held him close.
"Mémé! Where's the Stand!? What's with all this damage?!"
Avdol barely escaped with his life to warn us about it. It's like a dragon, but indestructible! Clearly unfair and broken!"
"Que? I'll cut it right where it's weak! No armor is without it's weak spots!"
That's the spirit now just-"
The dragon broke through the wall by their side and tore them apart with a swipe. Pinkie flew back, and landed into Joseph, as Polnareff had his Stand ripped out of him, Silver Chariot was held by the throat of the beast. The grip appeared on Polnareff's throat.
"What!? H-How'd he!? He ripped my Stand out of me to attack it instead of just going for me!?"
The dragon opened his mouth to crush Silver Chariot's head, but the sword pierced the mouth and stabbed several times. The monster screeched again and nearly destroyed Polnareff's windpipe.
"I can't cut his brainstem! His exterior, it's impossible but, if we can attack it on the inside... AaaaAAAAAARGH!"
With a thunderous boom, a lightning bolt sent the creature through the building. Rainbow Dash sighed as she tapped her cigarette, the cap just barely over her eyes.
"Good Grief. So that's the Stand? No wonder it beat Jotaro up so badly... Wait a minuet. Pinkie!"
Pinkie Pie sat up dazed.
"Yes, Mrs. Flour Bag?"
"Doesn't that creep... Look familiar?"
"Do you know a dragon with purple scales and green spikes?"
"... SPIKE!?" "... SPIKE!?"
Polnareff fell back with his hand around his throat as he gasped for air, Joseph himself coughed up a bit of blood as he rubbed his chest.
"Pinkie, that was worse then the Hellclimb Pillar! But, do you know that monster?"
"O-Oi, Dashie! Are you saying you know that freak!?"
They nodded. Pinkie Pie noticed a number of green tendrils slowly that slowly slithered onto the walks and floor.
"... Ah! Rainbow Dash!"
"What?"
"When Spike comes back, left foot with your Stand! Stomp the ground and send as much positive lightning you can!"
"Positive lightning? Uh, okay?"
They waited, and it wasn't long before Spike returned, he crawled from above and used the ceiling to maneuver. Rainbow Dash did as she was told, and stomped onto Hierophant Green as it shot a lightning imbued Emerald Splash. Most of the shards merely shattered against his hide, yet the few that made it into Spike's mouth shocked him horribly. His insides were damaged badly as all he could do was cough and roll pathetically. He stopped and fell limp. Dead. Rainbow Dash nearly ran over to him, but stopped at Joseph's warning.
"Hold it there Dashie! He could be faking it! Use your [Star Seraphim] for some insurance!"
"Right... What happened to you, Spike? Don't tell me you're..."
With her Stand on, her wings closed in to make room and protect her, she looked over the body of her friend. She couldn't react in the time he had snatched her up and slammed her into the ground. The floor broke away as they fell through the building. They hit the morgue, within the basement of the hospital. Spike threw Rainbow Dash but kept her Stand, he gnawed viscously into the shoulder. She screamed in agony. It wasn't just the bite, the pressure of the hold, or even the violent manner of the act. The fangs felt like magma, as if they were specifically meant to cut through Stands. She grabbed a body tray to support herself, but nearly lost it as she saw the body.
"J-Jotaro...? No... NOOO! ! !"
Star Seraphim's body glowed once more as the magenta glow became a Sonic Rainboom. Spike was thrown into a wall as his scales, claws and fangs, even his spikes flickered weakly. He was in a terrible daze. However, Rainbow Dash didn't know what to do. Spike was her friend, it was clear he wasnt in control over himself, yet the lifeless body before her, it gave her conflicted feelings. She knew that DIO was to blame. For Gilda's death. For Spike's madness. For Jotaro's end. But, He wasn't here to suffer for it. Only her. Spike, though still in a flickered state, stumbled over to Rainbow Dash. He reached out to her slowly. This was simply too much at once... She lost.
"Oi. Dash."
She opened her eyes instantly and saw Jotaro adjust the cap on his head.
"I knew I could count on you and Grandma."
"ORA! ! !"
Star Platinum's fist flew from his chest and right into Spike's jaw. He slammed the dragon into the ceiling. Due to the Stand itself being weakened, Spike had received the final blow. Upon hitting the ground, his body began to revert to a more human form. The scales were thin and only visible on his back, belly, and around the eyes. The spikes had receded significantly, but were also present. A fleshbud was beating softly on his head. Jotaro took out a cigarette and lit it.
"I'll never do that again. I faked my death and was sent here, my Stand barely revived me in time before it was too late. Ughk!"
Rainbow Dash squeezed Jotaro tightly.
"Ngh! D-Dash... I'm still injured."
"It took dying for you to figure that out!? I can't trust you with anything!"
"... Are you, cryi-"
"No! It's sweat and blood from all the floors we fell! Let's get that thing off of him!"
Jotaro and Rainbow Dash successfully pulled the bud out, but had no means of dealing with it. Rainbow Dash pulled out one of her rare cigarettes but cursed under her breath.
"You gotta be kidding me! No way to light it."
"I've got a way."
"Oh yeah, just lemme see your lighte-"
Jotaro pulled her close as their cigarettes met. Faces inches apart and eyes locked. She was startled from the move and nearly smoked the entire stick in one breath. The bud was growing and leapt to a dead body, but was evaporated by the mobile storm cloud. It faded away as Jotaro smirked.
"Told you I'd die for you."
"... Shut up."
