DIO stood before them, a calm face and regal stature, Rainbow Dash felt a sudden sting on her cheek. A fresh cut just appeared on her face. Jotaro's chain had suddenly broken apart.
"Do Forgive Me. We've Been So Eager To Meet You Both, He Just Can't Help Himself."
Small craters appeared in the street. Cars were crushed. The café behind DIO was a mess upon His arrival. The street had become void of life. Only Jotaro and Rainbow Dash remained. They began to walk towards Him.
"Ho Ho!~ You're Approaching Me? You're Ignoring Their Last Attempt In Saving You Both? You Truly Believe You Have A Chance Against I, DIO?"
Rainbow Dash pulled out a rare cigarette. Jotaro pulled his lighter out and lit it. She made a small smoke cloud and turned it into a thundercloud.
"If You don't think so, we're about to find out."
"Besides, we can't kick Your ass if we're not close enough."
DIO then began to walk towards them with a smile.
"Aha... [Stars Platinum And Seraphim] Are Best Suited For Close Range Attacks. [Star Seraphim] May Have A Fantastic Range, But Loses Her Armoring Capability And Becomes A Glass Doll... Both Strong, Fast, And Precise. A Terrifying Combo. I'll Now Test This. Come... As Close As You Like."
He licked His lips sensually. He invited them in every way He could. The very second they could, Jotaro and Rainbow Dash sent their Stands, but they were stopped by a jab to the mouth each. Jotaro and Rainbow Dash saw the motion. DIO didn't stop Time, THE WORLD was simply faster than Star Platinum and Star Seraphim. They spat a small spurt of blood from the blow. Rainbow Dash noticed a blur as her cloud dissipated without her consent. THE WORLD had destroyed it. DIO clicked his tongue with a shrug.
"I, DIO, Hate Repeating Certain Things. It Means That The Recipient, Didn't Listen. People Who Do Not Listen Are Foolish, And Those That Are Foolish Are..."
THE WORLD shot forth with a barrage of fist that hailed down on Jotaro and Rainbow Dash.
[ "MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! ! !" ]
With wide eyes, they sent their Stands out to match It. Star Seraphim had lost an entire wing, but threw relentless kicks.
"ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!"
Side by side, only Tower Of Grey had ever dodged them both at once. Even then, it was a smaller target that relied on their speed and inexperience. Now, even in their current condition, no Stand they faced before could best them. So why... Why was it that THE WORLD effortlessly matched their punches and kicks with just one arm each!? It was impossible! DIO's eyes flashed as He frowned.
"Enough Of This. You're Not Strong Enough!'
"OOOOOOORRRRRRAAAAAAA! ! !"
The Stars had parried away both hands into the air and struck the body. THE WORLD, did not even blink.
"[THE WORLD]!"
Rainbow Dash and Jotaro flew back into a streetlight and dented the pole upon impact. Rainbow Dash's head hung low as Jotaro had blood trickle down his lips. DIO spat on the floor. He walked up to the bodies and sighed.
"You Disappoint Me. But, I, DIO, Have Finally Won."
He turned His back to them, then snapped back with THE WORLD ready to punch in Jotaro's chest and Rainbow Dash's head at once. Star Platinum stopped the fist with its own.
"What!? You're Alive!?"
Rainbow Dash's head lifted up as a power bolt of lightning shot from her mouth and through DIO's chest. DIO was lifted from the ground and sent through a garage door. Inside was a butcher's shop, knives stabbed into His back and shoulder. Rainbow Dash spat the cigarette out.
"I did it, it hit! Take that bolt! And shove it up your ass!"
Jotaro raised his hands. He shook less now.
"Dash... You're not gonna believe this."
"I-I already can't... H-How the heck is He doing that!?"
DIO sat up. The hole began to heal immediately in His chest. The knives dropped to the ground as He vanished.
"Where'd He-" "Shit..."
DIO's voice echoed around them.
"There It Is... Just As I Thought. That Bond Between You Two Is Truly Marveling."
They found Him on the roof of the building behind them. His crimson red eyes shone through the darkness of the night.
"As Well As The Similarities Of Our Stands, Jotaro. Close Range, Immense Strength, Phenomenal Speed, Even Ungodly Precision."
He vanished again. His voice came from the side. He stood on top of a light post.
"And Rainbow Dash. Your Sonic Rainbooms Act Differently Here Than In Equestria. Even With The Powerful Repulse, The Power To Shut Down One's Stand, Is Like Shutting Down The Soul As Well! "
He vanished. This time, Jotaro's head was already turned to DlO. Rainbow Dash followed after him and saw DIO. He sat on top of one of the crushed cars.
"I Knew It... Jotaro... We Share The Same Type Of Stand. Universal! Stands So Powerful That The Universe, Space And Time, Bends To Our Might! But You Are New And I Am Maturing To This Ability. I Wonder... How Long Can You Move In My World Of Frozen Time? And Rainbow Dash. I Wonder, If You Can Active Your Sonic Rainboom To Counteract My Time Stop?"
Something was wrong. DIO wasn't a fool, despite their great disdain for Him, they had to take every single action into consideration. So why did He explain all of this?
"HmHmHmHm... Jotaro. Rainbow Dash. You're Wondering Why I, DIO, Would Expel Such Vital Information. It's Simple."
DIO pulled out numerous knives out. More than ten in each hand and several around His belt.
"BECAUSE I FIGURED OUT HOW TO KILL YOU!~ About Two Minuets Ago."
Rainbow Dash and Jotaro paled greatly. She hugged him tightly as they jumped high into the air with the use of their Stands to escape.
"[THE WORLD!]"
Rainbow Dash held her breath as Star Platinum and nearly all the knives were before them. She had Star Seraphim assist in deflecting the knives, but still a few made it through. She took most of the knives for him. Only a few made it into his shoulder. DIO threw one last knife, which was kicked by Star Seraphim, and flew into Jotaro's head. Right into his cap. His eyes faded as they fell. It was a great height, and Jotaro took the full force with no cushion. Rainbow Dash coughed up blood and pulled at his shirt. Even though she barely spoke above a whisper, she was in a panic.
"Jotaro! Jotaro! N-Not you...! I-I can't lose anyone else... I kicked that stupid knife... This is all my fault! I'm... I'm sorry..."
Jotaro adjusted his cap to reveal a hidden manga underneath. Though the knife reached the skull, it failed to sink past the bone.
"... Holy shit... It took me nearly dying for real, to get you to learn to stop being so damn reckless and cocky."
Rainbow Dash blinked as Jotaro pulled her head down on his chest.
"... Huh?"
"Just shut up and keep your head down. He'll come down to see if we died. I'm gonna stop our hearts to fool him for just a moment. When He lowers His guard, fuck Him up."
She nodded as she heard the thud. DIO fell from above.
"Any Normal Man Would Die From That Height Alone. Those Knives... She May Have Bled Out, Or Could Be Unconscious. Ah... But Jotaro... You Are Of The Joestar Family. Practically Demigods Among Men. I Can't Miss A Single Hint Of Your Survival..."
"FREEZE!" "PUT YOUR HANDS UP!"
Two police men aimed their handguns at DIO. They had seen His descent and were horribly confused.
"You there, in the suit! Get down on the ground!"
"You're suspicious, did You do that to those two?!"
One policeman blinked before blood splattered on him from the side. He couldn't move at all, he could barely breathe, but something had stabbed into his neck. DIO had appeared behind them both, with a simple swipe He had obliterated the first officer, and smiled as His fingers slid easily under the skin of the second.
"You Will Do Nicely. Aim That Gun For Me."
"ah... ahh..."
The police man slowly aimed the gun against his will at Jotaro and Rainbow Dash.
"Good. Now, Aim Carefully, I Need You To Hit Them In Vital Areas. I, DIO, Must Be Absolute Sure They Are Dead."
The gun fired. The bullet flew past Rainbow Dash's jacket, but was caught by Star Platinum hidden underneath, as was anotheranother bullet at Jotaro's knee. However this was his limit. Jotaro knew that if he and Rainbow Dash used their Stands any further DIO would attack them. There'd be no opening for a counter at all. All they could do is pray that His egotism would lead for a counterattack. That'd He'd be satisfied with this.
"I'm Satisfied With This. But To Be One Hundred And One PercentSure, Just Empty The Gun Out On Them. It Doesn't Matter Where Now, Just Hit Them, Go Trigger Happy."
The officer shot Jotaro and Rainbow Dash's bodies until the gun was empty. DIO watched with glee as Rainbow Dash gasped before she fell completely still. Jotaro hadn't moved since the fall. He sucked the blood of the officer dry before He began to approach them.
"Now To Check If They Are Breathing."
DIO listened closely. No breathing. He held his ear to the ground. No heart beat.
"I'll Check Their Bodies For Evacuated Bowels."
He began to walk over to them, but stopped with a face of disgust and pleasure.
"No Need... I Can Smell It From Here."
Jotaro and Rainbow Dash mentally swore a vow of silence, and began to feel numb, yet it was almost over. This was a sick joke, to use his own Stand to practically kill them instead of DIO. However, as Star Platinum began to pump their hearts, DIO grabbed a stop sign and held it up like a spear.
"Just To Be Sure I'll Impale Them With This. Once Again, Her Head Is Atop His Heart, The Perfect Position!"
DIO nearly threw the sign, but Polnareff leapt from a building above, and used Silver Chariot to stab right through DIO's skull. He had used the curtains and robs as bandages for his wounds.
"POLNAREFF ASSIST YOU PISS HAIRED BITCH!"
Polnareff flew into a wall as DIO was embedded into a short stairway out of the alley. Jotaro and Rainbow Dash sat up quickly as they panted heavily.
"What did... What happened!?"
"It's like He said... Star Platinum can move when Time is stopped... Only for a second or two if I'm lucky... DIO however, only gets five. Said so Himself... Let's go do what we do best!"
"Yeah...! PolPol... Thanks."
Polnareff gave a weak smile and thumbs up before he fainted. DIO attempted to stand,but He fell."
"W-What Is This!? N-Nausea!? My Legs, They Feel Weak...! I, DIO, Have Been Brought Down... By A Bunch Of Kids?! Ah!"
Jotaro threw gasoline onto DIO. A car had been parked in the alley with a mop bucket by a backdoor. Rainbow Dash said nothing as she had another cigarette. She spat it at him, as well as the bolt that came from her mouth.
"[THE WORLD]!"
DIO appeared on behind a passing car, and was dragged away. Jotaro took a knife from his shoulder, and used Star Platinum to throw it at the bumper DIO held onto. The bumper fell off as DIO tumbled and rolled into the dirty street. He reached for a manhole, but it was kicked in by Rainbow Dash's foot, without the use of Star Seraphim. She kicked the manhole cover away. Jotaro was inside and pointed at DIO.
"You can't run from your sins..."
"We're here to judge you..."
"AND POUND YOU ALL THE WAY TO HELL!" "AND POUND YOU ALL THE WAY TO TARTARUS!"
"Time Will Freeze, [THE WOR-"
The Stars struck Him before He could stop Time. This. Was the moment they had been waiting for since the beginning.
"ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ! ! ! !"
The Stands combined and sent a final kick to DIO's face. Yet, as DIO flew away, He flew laughing. He landed and created a cloud of debris from impact. Something was wrong. They looked around them. The same motorcycle. The same ruined garage door. The same empty café. As the cloud settled, they even saw Joseph and Pinkie Pie's bodies. DIO, sucked away at Joseph's corpse with His fingers. His hair floated and waved on its own. He had completely healed.
"Yes... Thank You. Both Of You, For Allowing Me To Reach Back Here! I Once Thought Of Joestar Blood, As Equivalent To Dog Shit On The Road, Smearing My Shoes! But Now, After Drinking Joseph's Blood, THIS IS THE GREATEST HIGH!"
DIO cackled madly. Rainbow Dash and Jotaro glared oblivion at Him. But, an etheral cloud came from Joseph and Pinkie Pie. The clouds floated to the sky as aa divine light came down. The clouds formed into the elders. Joseph looked down at the two.
"Jotaro. Dashie. Don't lose your heads. My body is just a hunk of meat. Don't worry about it. Jotaro. You have three of His five seconds. Dashie, don't be afraid to let go. Don't go wild without a plan. DIO's time may have extended with my blood... Be careful..."
Pinkie Pie smiled and pointed at them.
"Rainbow Dash, not gonna lie, I really thought things were gonna get tough for you. But look at ya! Landing the first hit on dio! Couldn't be any more proud as I am dead! Hehehe... Jotaro. Help her find those Elements... We need those..."
"... Hah... What a roundabout journey. Bunch of brats. We're terrible grandparents, look what we left them with."
"I think we did great! Look at 'em, they'll do fine, they have each other... Just like we did."
The light blinded Jotaro and Rainbow Dash for a moment before the empty night sky became visible. Jotaro blinked.
"That was... Grandpa and Grandma..."
DIO shouted at them both.
"What're You Two Looking At, Jotaro, Rainbow DASH!"
DIO stabbed down into Joseph's chest. The color, the muscle, even the hair began to shrivel up and fade away. DIO saw His last obstacles run at Him.
"The Wheels Of Fate Are Turning... Heaven, Or Hell! FINAL CHALLENGE!"
DIO sprinted at them. The three were mere inches apart, but THE WORLD sent the Stars into the air with an uppercut. DIO launched after them.
"[THE WORLD]!"
Jotaro had been launched away with Rainbow Dash, both coughed blood as they landed on roof. The building had a spire on top. Star Platinum broke down the spire and threw it at DIO. DIO simply pounded away at the structure without the aid of THE WORLD, but stopped at the sight of Jotaro, who erupted from within the building. DIO threw a fist, a fist with His Vaporizing Freeze, but was sent back by a bolt of lightning. Rainbow Dash flew down from above and caught Jotaro.
"Did you see where He went!?"
"No! He could come from anywh-"
THE WORLD kicked them both as it spun in the air.
"SPINKICK!"
The Stars were sent down and into a trolley. Rainbow Dash pushed Jotaro up and helped him to his feet. DIO pried open the opening with His bare hands. Eyes gleamed with bloodlust. They shouted at the angry riders that complained to DIO.
"Get back!"
"None of you know Him like that!"
DIO merely swatted at the air, but with the numerous people that surrounded Him, any parts of the body in the way were eaten away by the hand. He licked the blood off of His hand, just to get a rise out of the two. It worked, as He was struck by their Stands still combined. He landed by the street and saw them fly His way. One by one, the dodged each car, if not simply punch or kick it away. They reached Him at last.
"[THE WORLD]!"
They were over a water bridge and fell into the river. Rainbow Dash couldn't take anymore soon. These were her last legs. Even Jotaro, who actually knew what had happened and could move in the Frozen Time, was approaching his limit. They were still only human, and DIO, was more. DIO laughed as He flew with a large boat in His hands. Jotaro stared at it.
"That's a boat. Where'd He get a boat. What the fu-"
The boat slammed into them and sank them below. They simply refused to go out. They had to win, they would see the morning sun! Star Platinum destroyed the entire boat with one punch, Star Seraphim flown past the surface of the river and into the sky. They were spiked down onto the bridged by THE WORLD. They nearly flew through the stone. DIO wouldn't let them one moment of rest.
"This Is It! No More Games, Jotaro, Rainbow Dash! This Is My Final Time Stop!"
DIO vanished from sight, yet as they braced themselves, Rainbow Dash began to feel it. That immense emotion. That powerful pull to give everything and more to do what she had to do. To Save Her Friends! Star Seraphim began to glow and crumble apart. A Sonic Rainboom erupted from the body.
"[THE WORLD]!"
Everything stopped. Everything but the Rainboom. Within that small area, Time continued. Rainbow Dash finally experienced the Frozen World. Jotaro's eyes widened as DIO began to countdown.
"One Second Has Passed."
"Dash... You..."
No time! Game Plan!"
"Two Seconds Have Passed."
"Alright, Alright. Whatever He throws at us next, we just have to survive it."
"What!? That's your big plan?!"
"Three Seconds Have Passed."
"Hoping you had something to contribute. I do have something up my sleeve. You?"
"My Rainboom is shrinking in on us..."
She threw a rock outside of the area, it froze instantly in the air.
"Four Seconds Have Passed."
"I can't move out there... But you can! Jotaro! Go!"
"... No. I'm not leaving you."
The Rainboom nearly closed in on itself. The two were face to face. Jotaro held Rainbow Dash.
"Five Seconds Have Passed."
"Jotaro! I'll be fine, maybe, just-"
Do you trust me!"
"... Yes."
"Good. See you soon."
Rainbow Dash blinked. She was off the ground and in Jotaro's arms. Behind them was an inferno, an utterly decimated steamroller laid in the center of it. In front of them, was DIO. His knees had been destroyed. Jotaro sighed.
"I was scared. Badly. You almost killed us all. How long does it take for the legs to heal?"
Jotaro put Rainbow Dash down and held her hand.
"So when you get back up, we know exactly when to pay you back for all you owe."
DIO growled. He was furious. Enraged. Feral. These children. Children. Brought Him, the Might Emperor of Mankind and Stands, to His knees? No. That's not how it will go. DIO lowered His head and roared.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER!"
DIO shot the pressurized liquid into the ground, but it had bounced upwards. Each stream hit their throats, but had barely missed His target. The windpipe. The shock however, was enough to cut their breaths short. Like Avdol had taught them both, to cut the User's breathing off, was another way to shut down the Stand. DIO, had used the second Stand, to expel the last of Jonathan's Hamon into the concrete. It was barely anything, but it did the job. Star Platinum began to fade. DIO stood up and threw a kick.
"MUDADAAAAAAA! ! ! !"
Jotaro and Rainbow Dash, did not fall back. No longer did they shake, or quake, not in fear or in anger. Right now was the weakest they had ever been. At the same time, never had they felt more alive. With Justice in hand, Loyalty in heart, and Truth in soul. Together, they struck DIO's leg. The left one, used to to kick them to their deaths. Both shouted loudly.
"OOOOOORRRRRAAAAA! ! !"
All of their Stands had appeared. DIO's eyes widened at Star Seraphim. It had completely transformed. Rainbow Dash's Stand crumbled, because she had finally matured. This, was the true Star Seraphim. Even then... Jotaro and Rainbow Dash hands bled badly, they were pushed back. DIO smiled and lowered His leg. As it touched the floor, it began to break apart.
"Hah! A-AH! WHAT!?"
The whole body began to erupt. THE WORLD was being destroyed. The two Stars expected DIO to fly into a final frenzy. Instead, like them, He was now calm. He smiled a sly smile, and pointed at them. THE WORLD punched DIO's leg... And nearly all the damage left His body.
"Remember This Moment. Remember It Well. I, DIO, Will Be Watching... From Hell."
DIO and THE WORLD both began to chuckle. Then They laughed. THE WORLD punched the leg again. The damage reappeared, and DIO, exploded into a bloody mess. Rainbow Dash fell back as her eyes grew heavy. She had. Nothing left... In the darkness, the cold numbing void, a light shone through. It was warm. She drew closer and closer to it, but a hand on her shoulder stopped her. Avdol's voice spoke out.
"Not today... One day... But not, today. I'm so proud, to see you grow so strong."
Another hand on what was left of her other shoulder. Zecora's voice.
"Such strength and such beauty, Rainbow Dash, you are the best truly."
A hand came to her head. Kakyoin spoke next.
"You were the one who guided me to my first step, down the right path. Now, let me guide you to the last step, back around."
She felt something nuzzle her leg and heard a dog bark. Iggy... But the last hand was on her heart. A voice, she had never heard before.
"You've done, so much, for so little. I want to thank you, for everything. When you see Twilight, tell her I said, I'm sorry."
The hands pushed her back, yet the light grew brighter. Rainbow Dash opened her eyes inside an ambulance. An ambulance from the Speedwagon Foundation. Jotaro held onto her tightly as he was in a seat. She groaned and grabbed the sleeve.
"Oh right... That's not there anymore... Jotaro?"
Jotaro held her tighter with a shaky sigh.
"Y-Yare Yare... You're the absolute worst. You had me thinking you died. Who'd be there to annoy me if you left?"
"A-Are you... Okay?"
He shook his head.
"No. There's still, one more thing I have to do... But my arms are in terrible condition. Practically charred and grounded up from all the punching to escape that trap. I've got almost nothing left."
Rainbow Dash stood up from Jotaro's lap and saw his arms. The whole jacket was destroyed, his arms had received the worst of it. In fact, they were both a terrible sight for eyes. She looked to the side. Joseph and Pinkie Pie, still hand in hand, and DIO's corpse in a body bag next to them. Rainbow Dash looked at Joseph, then DIO, then Jotaro.
"I'll do it."
"... Huh?"
"The blood transfusion. We're taking back what he owes, right?"
Jotaro smiled for a moment.
"... Thanks. Hurry, it's almost too late for him to recover."
The doctors inside looked at each other, but then saw a heartbeat from Joseph. They began to get to work. They implemented everything needed, the blood from DIO's viens flowed into the tubes, and returned to their rightful place within Joseph. Brainwaves began appear as life returned to Joseph. He had came back. Pinkie Pie came to, which surprised everyone. She spoke... With Joseph's voice.
"E-Everyone! It's a trap! This was his plan all along!"
Joseph sat up with great darkness in his eyes. Machines began to malfunction as the area grew dim.
"You Fools! Thanks To You, I Live Again!"
Rainbow Dash stepped back. She snarled as she summoned Star Seraphim.
"DAMN YOU, JUST DIE ALREADY!"
She stopped as both Joseph and Pinkie Pie held their hands up, and spoke normally.
"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! IT'S ME, JOSEPH! JOSEPH GRANDPA OLD MAN JOESTAR!" "STOP! STOP! WAIT! IT'S US! WE'RE FINE! WE'RE NORMAL! IT WAS JUST A JOKE!
Jotaro stood up and glared at them.
"How do we know for sure?"
Pinkie Pie and Joseph pointed.
"Your next line is, 'Only the REAL Pinkie and Grandpa could pull that trick!', right Rainbow Dash?" "Your next line is, 'Yare Yare Daze, not this old gag.', isn't it Jotaro."
The Stars opened their mouths, then sighed. Pinkie Pie tilted her head, then grew a big grin.
"No way... YOU TWO WET YOURSELVES! GYAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ! !"
Even Joseph began to laugh, then Jotaro, and eventually Rainbow Dash. They had done it. They saw the morning sun... They awaited in the outskirts of town, and saw the Sun reduce DIO's remains, to ashes. Everything was finally over. They searched the mansion, specifically the dresser Princess Luna pointed to. Within was a strange variation of the Stone Mask. It was already broken, but Joseph smashed further. Two journals were found. One for Luna. One for DIO. Rainbow Dash pocketed the journal that Luna had wrote as Jotaro read DIO's. At first, it was exacoas they thought. Writings of how He would achieve His goals. Until a certain date in nineteen eighty threethree. Luna had came into His life. It became more about her than Himself. Then, it became that of contradiction. DIO spoke of... Reconciliation. Redemption. Timelines and Alternate Worlds. There were two pages about Luna's reaction to who He was. The pages had tear stains and was bbarely legible near the end. Several pages were left blank. All but the last one. A list of words, and a small note. For them.
"Dear, Stars
Hate me. Ridicule Me. Mock Me. Do Everything In Your Power To Erase Me. It's What I Deserve. But I Am Not Yet Gone. You Will Never See Me Again, So Have No Fear Of My Return. I'm Dead Now. Yes. Yes I Knew Everything. And Now So To Must You. Rainbow Dash. The Elements You Seek Are Hidden. They Will Reveal Themselves In Time. Within That Time Is A Choice. Jotaro Kujo. Find The Arrows. They Will Guide Your Future, But Not Yourself. You Will Do Something. The World Over Heaven. Defeat, The World Over Heaven. And Though I Doubt You Will, Tell Luna For Me, That I'm Sorry. Now. Burn It.
DIO"
Jotaro burned the book. The Element of Harmony, Loyalty, was all that was left. Everyone met at the airport. Polnareff sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
"Old Man... I appreciate the offer, but France is my home. You guys, all of you, I'll always call family. The smallest thing, even mundane, if you need help just call!"
Joseph pointed at Pinkie Pie.
"About to up and leave for another ten years?"
"Doubt it! I don't have my shard! Rainbow Dash?"
Rainbow Dash held up the green piece. The words echoed in her head. Choice. She shook her head and tossed it to Pinkie Pie.
"Your piece now. I'm not going anywhere til I find ALL those Elements!"
"... Atta' girl!"
Pinkie Pie looked into the piece.
"I don't know if you're watching right now, Princess Celestia, Twilight! Just know, we'll be back soon!"
Pinkie Pie, threw the shard onto the ground. It shattered and faded away. Joseph jumped.
"Wh-What the! But that was your way back home!"
"I'll get a new one. Speaking of new ones, how's that arm, Rainbow Dash?"
Rainbow Dash flexed it.
"It's different, and weird, but it's made for fighting! So it should work well."
Joseph shook his head.
"Dashie, when I said you'll be in my shoes, this isn't what I meant."
"You're a terrible influence! What else could I do!?"
Jotaro shook his head with a small smile. The announcer came on. Their flights were coming. Everyone hugged each other with tearful eyes. Jotaro looked at Rainbow Dash.
"... Lemme guess. It's raining inside?"
"... Nah. I'm just glad we had this little crusade, and I'm sad to see it go."
"... Holy fuck she admits it. Holy shit, she admits to crying, at last. Oh damn."
"Shut up! You're as bad as I am!"
Polnareff laughed.
"You two were made for each other! Mémé, send me those sweets you promised! Old Man, don't you go forgetting me!"
Joseph smiled.
"Don't you go getting killed in a bathroom! You little shit!"
Pinkie Pie dug into her hair and shoved a cupcake in Polnareff's mouth.
"That's just a taste! Now get going! C'mon you guys! We're expected somewhere!"
Everyone boarded their planes. Rainbow Dash sat in her seat next to Jotaro. He held up the picture of everyone sitting together in the desert. Everyone had actually smiled. Ho pocketed it and held her hand. She nodded at him, and played her Walkman... The year is nineteen nintey nine. Morioh Town, Japan. A small boy walked his way to school, but fell back as he hit something hard... Or, he thought he did.
"Wh-What? But, I was sure I fell and dropped my bags!"
"Sorry bout that."
"Huh? ... Wh-Whoa!"
A very tall woman stood before him. A rainbow patterned jacket with stars and clouds. Red bell bottoms with glitter gold lightning bolts on the sides and a strange torn cap that matched her rainbow hair. She was the tallest woman the boy had ever seen, and with her eye scar, the toughest. Then, a girl, just a few inches shorter, ran up to her and hugged her leg. The girl had a two piece hair style. One black, and the other rainbow, like the woman. She knelt down and smiled.
"Hey... We'll be here for awhile, it's my first time too. Dad doesn't want us to get lost. Just stay close to me, would you?"
"Yes ma'am! ... Oh cool! Look Ma! It's a turtle!"
The girl ran to a nearby fountain. The woman shook her head and sighed. She saw the short boy stare at her. She took out a photo of a house in town.
"Good Grief. Oh, you're still here? Well... Have you seen this place? Higashikata residence. I'm looking for someone."
MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS A BIZARRE ADVENTURE
PART 3 END
