The alicorns left the portal back to Equestria. Twilight fell to her knees and panted heavily.
"We... We have to go back... But I'm so tired..."
Princess Celestia felt the same way. She refused to show any sign of weakness.
"It seems time has barely passed again. Look, Spike is still in sight."
A small clink sounded behind them. At the foot of the portal, was a golden tablet. It was the palm on Jotaro's cap. Princess Celestia prodded at it with a hoof.
"For every Element retrieved, we receive an item from that time... Is this because of the relations our world has with theirs?"
Twilight shook as she held herself up, but fell. She was drained.
"Twilight!"
Princess Celestia called out to her and nearly fell herself. At the time of their leave, she had felt accustomed to the shattered dimension. Now, she realized how long they had been inside, and the consequences that came with. A voice cried out to them.
"Celestia! Twilight!"
Princess Candice and Shining Armor ran to their sides. Twilight, who had fainted, was lifted onto Shining Armor's back. Princess Candice ran up to Princess Celestia.
"What happened!? You both look so... Sickly!"
"We have seen better... Word seems to have made it."
"We're here to help in anyway we can, just say the w-"
The sound of Rarity's voice came from the portal. She sounded rather shakey.
"S-See! Nothing here! Can we please get a move o-"
She had her head through a gated door. A leg from off-view kicked the door and slammed it down on her throat. It held her there as she gagged and thrashed in fear. Another leg began to stomp on her face as two aggressive voices were heard. An angry boy and a condescending girl.
"Who the fuck do you think you are, snooping in around our house?"
"Nosy bitch. I'll teach you some goddamn manners! You and the stupid runt!"
The image faded away. Princess Celestia looked at Princess Candice with tired eyes.
"The pers-pony that stole the Elements of Harmony has been, defeated, but sent all over a separate world. One with, similarities, and even strange counterparts of our own. Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy. Applejack, and as you saw, Rarity... That world is dark and extremely dangerous."
"What about Luna?"
"L-Luna has... Decided... To stay, with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Those two and Twilight have found theirs. The situation is very, complicated."
Princess Candice and Shining Armor took a step forward.
"We'll do whatever we can."
"I'll take Twilight home, you rest easy."
Princess Candice nearly entered the portal, but stopped by Princess Celestia.
"Candice... Be careful. It's a very violent world."
"I'll handle it. We've faced world ending dangers before."
"... Not like this."
Princess Candice entered the portal. It was simple. Black with a white stairway. As she walked, she heard whispers, small and faint, yet what little she caught were simple things.
"hello." "pleasant day." "really hot." "what is love?" "it is really nice here."
Idle thoughts, but nothing sinister or perverse. She felt only a sense of longing and emptiness. It was, sad. She reached the top and found a large chessboard was before her. Rarity was a piece on her side. A toneless voice with
"A. N. O. T. H. E. R. O. N. E? N. O. M. A. T. T. E. R. Y. O. U. H. A. V. E. W. H. A. T. I. N. E. E. D."
"Are you the one responsible for all this?"
"D. O. Y. O. U. W. A. N. T. M. E. T. O. S. T. A. R. T? Y. O. U. L. L. G. E. T. T. H. E. R. U. L. E. S. A. S. W. E. P. L. A. Y."
"How does that work!? W-Wait. I've played this game, so the rules shouldn't be too different..."
T. H. E. G. A. M. E. I. S. S. E. T."
The whole world around them flooded with various colors and bright symbols. Princess Candice's eyes ached from the vibrancy. It all flooded into the chessboard as clock ticks sounded off. The ticks slowed down as the more and more of the world became black. Several pieces were on the board now.
What was... This is all so confusing, but I have to do my part!"
The chessboard lit up as an image appeared. It began to act as a TV, with the "camera" falling down to a beautiful town. The view moved into wonderfully clean house. A hand cooked a delicious looking breakfast. They placed two plates down. One, in front of a girl. Another, right before the "cameras". The "camera" panned out slowly... The hand was just that. A severed hand.
My Little Pony: Friendship is a Bizarre Adventure
Part 4: ~ Diamond Is Charitable ~
Episode I: A Watery Façade, New Old Faces
"JOUSKE! ! !"
Josuke winced as he tried to sneak himself, and Rarity, into his room. But the moment he had reached the stairs, his greatest enemy had come. Tomoko Higashikata. His mother.
"Josuke! Who the Hell is that!? And why were you out so late, you don't have any friends! Wait a minuet... Y-You're not already...!"
"N-No mom! I'm not you! And I got friends! This one right here!"
Josuke had told Rarity about Japanese customs, or rather the basics, the formality wasn't an issue for her. She bowed with a soft smile.
"Rarity, ma'am. I'm so sorry t-"
"Zip it, Powder Puff, I like you but you need to watch yourself."
Josuke groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Mom! We're not, like that, Rarity and I just met!"
"Josuke, this is exactly how you happened!"
"You're seeing this out of context!"
"Then explain this scene then! C'mon, gimmie the full context! I can't wait to hear why you have a clearly beautiful girl in my house and nearly snuck past me up to your room, that I paid for, near sundown! Look at her! I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her around these parts but in a mirror! You two can't be up to any good!"
"M-Mom... She's uh, she doesn't really have a place to live. She's from far away and-"
"Bullshit! Josuke you're smarter than that! I believe the foreigner bit, but look at those clothes and her body! And why're you home so goddamn late!?"
"I thought she was fucking with me too, so we checked around! She literally has no place to go!"
Rarity spoke up.
"I-I think I can-"
But Tomoko kept going.
"You didn't just check with the police!? Oh my God! D-Did you even get here legally?! Ruby!"
"Rarity, please, miss I can expla-"
"I can't harbour criminals here! My own dad is a police officer, the fuck were you two thinking!? Hah! Y-You didn't take any drugs...? Did you?!"
"Ma'am! Never! Your son is-"
"A good hot mess, is what he is! Well, I'm waiting, spit it out Snowflake!"
Rarity unknowingly leaned back. This woman was fierce, and now she understood where Josuke inherited his, bad side. She blinked and took a quick breath. Then jumped onto Tomoko with a hug as she began sob and shake pathetically.
"MY FAMILY HAS THROWN ME OUT! I'VE TRIED TO KEEP MYSELF COMPOSED BUT I JUST CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANYMORE! I SLEPT IN A FILTHY ALLEY AND ATE FROM TRASH FOR THE FIRST TIME! IT WAS UTTERLY DISGUSTING! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE THAT LIFE! PLEASE! I JUST WANT AN HONEST EDUCATION AND TO LIVE MY DREAM OF BEING A GREAT AND CARING-"
Rarity stopped crying for a moment to appreciate herself.
"Not to mention the most dazzling and as you said, beautiful."
She returned to her depressing meltdown.
"PHILANTHROPIC FASHION DESIGNER! IT WAS EITHER STREET LIFE OR BE MARRIED OFF INTO A LOVELESS MARRIAGE ALL FOR THE SAKE OF BUSINESS! PLEASE! ! ! DON'T MAKE ME LIVE THAT!"
Tomoko looked at Rarity unamused. She glanced up at Josuke. He smiled nervously nodded and clasped his hands as if to beg with Rarity. Tomoko rolled her own eyes.
"GREAT! Okay just lemme take a small interview with you. A one on one, just us honest hard working girls."
Josuke pumped his fist in victory. Rarity looked up at Tomoko to smile at her, but her face had become a worried smile. She could tell clearly that this woman did not like her, let alone trust her. Tomoko didn't let Rarity have the chance to let go and dragged her to the kitchen.
"Take a seat. Just a few questions."
"O-Of course!"
Rarity sat down best she could in the chair, but noticed the odd look from Tomoko.
"You do know you don't sit on all fours, right?"
"Uh-Uh... Hehehe... I was, trying to be funny-"
"You're not. Nice sob story back there, so tell the truth."
"I... Well I did wake up in an alley, but I came here with some friends. An accident occurred and, well now here we are!"
"Rarity's a weird name. You're not Japanese at all."
"I'm... Equestr- er. Uhm... I'm from..."
Rarity looked around carefully. She couldn't tell the, actual, truth could she? She saw a coffee maker and let desperation take over.
"Coffee Central! Ginyu District! Y-Yes!"
"... You want me to throw you out the door, window, or car? Cause I'll gladly kick you off into running traffic if you keep this failing comedy sketch up."
"What do you want me to say!? Y-You wouldn't believe me!"
"Okay, okay... Why are you with Josuke? I'm pretty sure plenty of guys woulda flown in overseas just to gawk at you. So why him?"
"He... He's nice and, quite the gentleman, you did a good job raising him! And uh... I'm looking for something important. He can help me find it. You'll think this is a stupid joke but, I need to find a gem hidden here in this worl- town!"
"Oh, you mean the Elements of Harmony? You a friend of Granny Pinkie?"
"... Huh? Pinkie? P-Pinkie Pie?"
"Why didn't you just say so!? You had me ready to RKO you into the trunk of my car and have me commit car insurance fraud."
"... Huh!?"
"Yeah, I know your situation. Popped in from nowhere, unfamiliar territory, ran into someone with a starbirthmark? Josuke's father had the same thing happen to him! Granny Pinkie always call every single day to check in on us and asked if you ever came. Now it really does make sense! I just thought she was crazy."
"I'm... Terribly confused... Can I stay?"
"JOSUKE! ! !"
Josuke nearly fell down the stairs as he sprinted to the kitchen. Tomoko rolled a wrist at him.
"She's living here, but any needs outside of breakfast and dinner are on you and your budget, I ain't spending money on a kid that ain't mine."
"A-Ah! Thank you so muc- MY BUDGET!?"
"Yyyyyeeeaaah!~ Those bottles of paint and hair products ain't so fucking appealing now, are they? I'll gladly pay for her every need... If you don't modify your uniform and hair again."
Josuke looked at Rarity.
"My budget. It's really low, but we'll work around it!"
Rarity was still stuck on Granny Pinkie. It had to be the same Pinkie Pie,but it couldn't be... Could it? Josuke took her up to his room.
"You can move things around or whatever, you'll be staying here anyhow!"
"And you?"
"Probably the couch or something."
"Oh no, I couldn't take your bed! Surely there's a guest room of some kind, yes?"
"You'd think so, but my room, is the guest room. Strange, huh?"
"I see... I-I have no issue taking the couch, darling."
"Well I do. C'mon, think of it as an apology and sign of good faith!"
"Hah... You're not going to let me, not, take this room. Are you."
"Just like I'll be dammed if I don't spruce up my looks! Mom ruined my hair today without me knowing it, but I'm one step ahead!"
"Is that right... Is this, your closet?"
"Yep."
Rarity opened it up. She was surprised at the amount of peace and heart symbols, pink and violet, and even strange glowing candies. She saw a picture of a young Josuke and woman. His pompadour had a noticeable pink swirl in it that made a heart in the front. The woman, had pink fluffy hair and a goofy smile.
"This is..."
"Huh? Oh! That's when I got out of the hospital! Ever since that day, Granny Pinkie has been GREAT to me. You saw it today, whenever someone badmouths my hair or my pink clothes, I just fly off the handle. Bu-But we need to get you new duds! My clothes are a bit big."
"You're about the size of a small tree! I saw your face down there at your budget. Don't worry, darling, Rarity is never a hindrance to her friends!"
She pulled out a rather large sewing kit. Josuke raised a brow at it.
"Where were you keeping that?"
"You don't need to worry about it. You said you wanted to modify your uniform?"
It took her nearly half the night, due to her new clumsy fingers, Rarity had added a pink licorice vines onto the uniform. The next morning was rather backwards. Tomoko had warmed up to Rarity in a heartbeat at breakfast.
"Though you're not enrolled yet, could you at least see Josuke to and from school for me? I bet he got mad cause someone called him out for public nudity."
"E-Excuse me?"
"His hair! Look at it, that thing is weird from the front, thallic from the side. I'm surprised he hasn't been arrested for sexual harassment!"
Josuke stood up from his chair.
"What The Fuck Did You Jus-"
"TRY ME BITCH, JUST TRY ME!"
Tomoko and Josuke glared each other down. Rarity was still as was her breath. Josuke sat down as Tomoko served the meal like nothing happened. Even smiling.
"Anyway, I got a map you can use, and don't be afraid to ask for help. Just be careful. Josuke, was it milk or cream you wanted?"
"Both with no coffee, the liquid creamer."
"Boy, you just have veins made of sugar, what the Hell am I gonna do with you?"
"Deal with it?"
"I'll deal with your it, young man."
Rarity was grateful for these two and their kindness, but she swore they were insane. As they left the house and waited at the bus stop from yesterday, a small girl approached them. She held the turtle from the fountain. Josuke leapt into Rarity's arms.
"HOLY PRINCE ALBUMS!"
"Gukh! D-Darlring! Jo-Josuke! You're just a tad bit, heavy!"
Rarity fell over as did Josuke. The girl giggled.
"Hehehe! You're both funny! Did I scare you?"
Josuke stood up and pulled Rarity up with him as he pretended to be cool.
"Psh. I'm not a clown, just a smoove cool guy! ... Who's scared of reptiles."
The turtles head slowly poked out from the shell. Josuke hid behind Rarity as the girl held it under one arm. Rarity shook her head.
"Josuke, act your age- er maybe a bit more mature than that! It's simply just a turtle."
The girl held the turtle out.
"He's not a snapping turtle! I'm gonna name him, Mr. President! Cause like me, no one tells the President what to do!"
Rarity leaned over with a smile.
"That's adorable!~ But, where are your parents?"
The girl pointed to the side. A woman with rainbow hair, like the girl, approached them. Rarity tilted her head as the woman lifted the small girl and her turtle.
"JoJo, what did I just say? Good Grief, and you're messing with strangers, you have to be more careful."
"No one tells me or Mr. President what to do."
"I do when I have the power grounding."
"... Cheater."
"Now apologize. Look at that guy, he looks like he'll fall out any second."
Josuke opened his mouth, but Rarity best him to the punch.
"Excuse ma'am but, I can't help but feel the strangest hint that I know you."
"Asking for a name without giving your own? JoJo, send the President after them."
JoJo held the turtle out with her cheeks puffed. Shetried to glare at them, but simply was having too much fun. Rarity shook her head.
"No, I didn't mean to- Rarity. I'm Rarity. Please call the turtle off."
Rainbow Dash's eyes widened. Rarity noticed this as she looked between Rainbow Dash and JoJo.
"It... It, is you, isn't it!?"
"... You just got here?"
"I've been here since yesterday! We just talked back then, and now-"
"Rarity. I had that talk with you and everyone ten years ago."
"Y-Y-You've been here... For ten years!?"
"Which means that guy shaking behind you is... Josuke Higashikata."
Josuke stood straight up.
"Huh? You know me?"
Rainbow Dash dug into her pocket. Josuke noticed that she wore magenta gloves, but her right wrist, was grey and shiny. Like metal. She took out a small note.
"Born nineteen eighty three. You've never lived anywhere else or even moved once put of this town. Your mother, Tomoko Higashikata who was twenty one at the time, was attending the University of Tokyo. There she met your pops. Joseph Joestar."
"...! S-So you know all that...?"
"And more. Pinkie Pie's been visiting a number of times. We always asked why she came here of all places for vacation, now we know. It shows with the way you wear that uniform. Rarity helped you out, or did the whole thing herself. Even your hair has a bit of her bounce. You were ill in nineteen eighty seven, four years old right?"
"Y-Yeah...?"
"JoJo, sweetie? Can you roll down momma's sleeve?"
Rainbow Dash held her right arm up to JoJo, who sat on Rainbow Dash's shoulder. JoJo pulled the sleeve down to reveal a mechanical forearm.
"Around that very time, my husband's mother was stricken I'll as well. Our search for the cure was dangerous. I lost my entire arm and shoulder. During the whole thing, Pinkie Pie found out about you. Amiright so far?"
Josuke nodded slowly.
"Good. It's weird to say but, you're my uncle in-law. Yeesh... You even look like a young Old Man. What is it with you Joestars being so big? Oh right, Rarity?"
Rainbow Dash pulled out the Element of Harmony, Loyalty.
"We've found our Elements. Twilight already got herself back to Equestria. You camehere with a shard, right? Don't lose or break it, or else you're stuck here like we were... Though, me and Pinkie Pie wanted to stay to tell you about this... And, other reasons."
Rarity was stunned at the loss of Rainbow Dash's arm, as well as how calm and collected she had become. This was all simply too weird for her. Rainbow Dash put the note away, let JoJo down with Mr. President, and rolled her sleeve back down. Rainbow Dash began to speak, but a number of girls approached them, specifically for Josuke.
"Hey Josuke!" "Hiya Josuke!" "Rockin' Hair and suit, Josuke!" "See you at Gaming Club, Josuke? I'll email you!"
Rarity looked at Josuke confused, it didn't help that he didn't seem to understand either. Then the girls noticed the others.
"What a cute little girl! Is that her dad?" "That's a woman, idiot! Though, she should style that hair, or at least comb it!" "That's a nice scar, wonder how she got it... Uh, I mean, wow what a hippie." "Why is there a pale girl next to Josuke?"
Rainbow Dash began to lose patience.
"Hey. You two, I need to speak to-"
The girls interrupted her.
"Whoa! She sounds like a man!" "Not really, just tough." "Not as tough and cool as Josuke, and his hair!" "Yeah! Josuke's the best!"
"Hey. Shut the Hell up about his hair. It's a simple design that requires too much effort to make. It's stupid."
Everyone but JoJo gasped. Josuke's eyes and face changed. She knew that look, she wore it before herself. Rarity pushed Josuke back, but she was the one moved as he simply stomped over to Rainbow Dash.
"What The Fuck Did You Say About My Hair!?"
"Jo-Josu-Josuke! Darling! It's just words! Wait!"
In Rarity's eyes, he did, as his head snapped back suddenly and blood trickled down the corner of his lips. Even though Josuke saw it, he couldn't believe it. Rainbow Dash tilted her cap.
"See this? It's a Stand. You got one at the age of four. I've had mine since before that. Joseph, my husband Jotaro, even JoJo here has one. This is my Stand, [Star Seraphim]!"
The Stand was just slightly taller than Rainbow Dash herself. Humanoid in shape and in character. Wild rainbow hair that flew in the wind. Rather a scar, a lightning bolt came down over the solid magenta eyes. It wore ivory shoulder, arm, and knee guards with platinum colored stars adorned on each one. Sky blue skin with a long red loincloth and that was also the belt. A rainbow cape covered the right arm completely, as there wasn't one. It wore a small sharp ivory visor that nearly acted as a crown. It was in the shape of a five pointed star. On the back was Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. Josuke shook his head and spat the blood to the side.
"So what? You trashed my hair, for that, I can't let you go!"
Josuke showed his Stand. Powerfully built, and humanoid in shape, armor-like plates on many large surfaces of its body. Cables joined the back of its head to its upper back. It bore a heart motif between the top of its head, its chin, shoulders, celiac plexus, belt and knees; with pairs of short spikes that protruded from its shoulders and ankles. Much to Rainbow Dash's displeasure, it greatly resembled THE WORLD. Instead of gold and green, it was a bubblegum pink and sky blue color scheme. I moved incredibly fast with powerful punches.
[ "DORARARARARA!" ]
Star Seraphim blocked best it could, but with only one arm to use, it was swiped away. Josuke raised a brow.
"Not exactly a good idea to pick fights with one a- OUGH!"
Star Seraphim kicked his Stand in the gut as it fell back from the guard breakbreak. She saw the the image flicker, the lightning in the heels had done its magic. Rainbow Dash sighed.
"Don't you go disrespecting your elders, Kid."
Her eyes widened as the Stand grabbed Star Seraphim's leg, pulled it with a fist raised, and nearly had the head blown off. Just before impact, Star Seraphim let out a Sonic Rainboom from the body. Josuke's Stand nearly vanished as Josuke himself shook horribly. He felt incredibly nauseous and could barely breathe. The punch went through, but Star Seraphim leaned its head back to dodge. Josuke's vision became clearer, but Rainbow Dash was right in front of him.
"If you won't listen to goddamn reason, I'll just knock the info into you!"
She struck him with the right hand. He fell back as blood flew from his nose and lips. Though the fight was essentially over, Rainbow Dash mentally cursed herself. She wasn't sure if she had gotten weaker, or if Josuke's Stand was already so powerful. It was the first time that a Stand didn't completely vanish after being exposed to her Rainboom. The schoolgirls shrieked.
"J-Josuke!" "Ohoho, that was beautiful! Er, leave him alone!" "There's blood! Oh my god!" "I've got to report this!"
Rainbow Dash roared at them.
"Shut The Hell Up! If you don't have anything to contribute to the plot, then just get outta here, no one has the time for damsels in distress! Hurry up and get outta here!"
The girls leaned away from her, then with annoyed expressions shrugged.
"Fiiiine." "Fiiiine." "B-But he's bleeding-" "I'll chat about this at home!"
The girls left as Rarity managed to get Josuke on his feet.
"Josuke! Wh-What just happened?"
"... I... I'm... Excuse me, I shouldn't have lashed out like that!"
Rainbow Dash raised a brow at that.
"Huh? Why're you apologizing? I mean, yeah it was dickheaded thing to do, but if you make a choice you shouldn't regret it. Otherwise all you did was make a mistake."
Rarity stood in between them.
"He goes into a wild frenzy whenever and whoever insults his hair! Besides, it takes a lot of dedication to make a unique style look as good as that!"
"Just like it takes dedication to wear the shiniest clothes, Good Grief Rarity, what even is that on you? Polished tin foil?"
"P-Polished...? What Did You Just Say About My Fashion!?"
"Oh for fucks sakes."
Rainbow Dash held Rarity back with a simple hand as Rarity threw punches at her. She looked at Josuke, who barely was able to keep a hold in Rarity as he pulled her back, and pulled out a new note.
"Look, I'm just here for three reasons. Your inheritance and her Element of Harmony... And this."
She showed them both a photo of cold faced man with the clouds forming a strange face. Rarity only saw the man.
"This guy is dangerous. Don't go near him. Either of you, understood?"
"Y-Yes ma'am." "Whatever, dear."
"Good now... Where'd she go!? JoJo! Jolyne?!"
Jolyne played with Mr. President in the middle of the street. An incoming car sped down the road right for her. Though the driver braked and the tires screeched, they had reacted too late.
"JOLYNE!"
Josuke, grabbed Jolyne and took the hit as he used his body to shield her and the turtle. He rolled and tumbled over the car, and fell with a thud on the hard concrete. Rainbow Dash and Rarity ran over to their side. Jolyne and Mr. President, were completely fine. She even giggled.
"Again! Again! That was so fun!"
Josuke groaned as he handed the girl over to Rainbow Dash.
"G-GREAT. I was just in time... Thanks for the heads up about that guy. We'll be careful."
Rainbow Dash blinked as he clearly ignored his pain and stood up like nothing happened. She calculated the speed of the car and impact in her head, a habit she worked on since Anubis. Josuke's spine should be atthe least sprained. At worse, dislocated. She lifted Jolyne up with a sigh.
"Thanks... Hey. When you get outta school, lemme know. We're staying at a hotel nearby. Rich one, fancy prices. Can't miss it. We still got things to talk about, but don't be late for school."
"Ah! Yo-You're right! Shit!"
A small boy ran across the street.
"Gah! I was so distracted, the bus just left!"
"No way! Sc-School is so far away too... How're we supposed to get there in time?!"
The car that ran Josuke over slowly pulled up to the group. The passengers door opened. A girl in a magic mint school uniform with cyan hair, a white streak ran down the hair. Sunglow eyes and a large lyre at the base of the school dress. Her face was of slight awe, then small concern.
"Are you alright? No one was hurt, were they? I have a first aid kit on hand."
Josuke waved his hand at her.
"No, it was all an accident, but it worked out. She's fine and in GREAT condition."
That's good to hear, but what about you? You were hit at fifty five miles per-hour. That's dangerous. Please, accept my sincerest apologies."
She bowed deeply for a moment. Then, as she raised herself, she motioned to the car.
"My brother is dropping me off to school. I can tell from your uniforms we're in the same year. Why don't you ride with us as a small token of thanks?"
Josuke, Rarity, and the boy all looked at each other before they got in. The driver was a young man with blonde hair that was combed back, save a few stray locks. Never had they found such a normal man, they felt like they would forget him in a minuet. He kept his eyes on the road as they drove.
"Please, forgive me. I would like to face you and apologize directly, however taking my eyes off the road was what caused this."
No one said a thing during the ride. It was awkwardly tense, or rather, awkwardly relaxing. The two simply didn't care. Even their actions and voices were careful and cautious, but they did it with great ease and astounding calmness. They made it to the school with time to spare. As they left the car and gave their farewells, the boy noticed Josuke's tenseness.
"Uh... What's up with you?"
"It's that girl... I swear I've seen her before. Even then, when we were in the car, she stared at me the whole time without blinking once... M-Maybe she blinked whenever I did, but it kinda creeper me out... What was up with her?"
School had passed and the evening sun began to set. Josuke learned the boy's name was Koichi Hirose. He had been caught up in the situation with Rainbow Dash. He simply went unseen the entire time. They decided to meet with Rarity and talk at the mall in town. However, a large crowd had formed outside. Koichi jumped up to get a view past the crowd and landed on Rarity's foot.
"Ow!"
"Ah! S-Sorry Rarity!"
"My sandals! Ooh it was a bad day to wear open toed footwear... I'm afraid I can't see anything either. Josuke?"
Josuke picked Koichi up and placed him in Rarity's arms.
"Uh? I don't follo- WHOA!"
Josuke held Rarity up with his shoulders. She blinked before she held Koichi out with a huff. Koichi gasped.
"Th-That's! There's a woman being held hostage with a bloody knife! Th-The guy looks like he's about to kill her! Pu-P-Put us down! He's glaring at us, he thinks we might do something!"
"G-Got it!" "Oh dear, hurry Josuk-"
The man shouted out.
"Get that dumb pasty bitch down, she's giving me sore eyes with that stupid shit she has on!"
Josuke and Koichi began to sweat nervously as they slowly looked back at Rarity.
"I feel like, something bad is about to happen
"This can't be good..."
Rarity glared at the crazed man. Josuke and Koichi mental screamed. Josuke finally saw what he was llik from the other side.
"What Did You Say...?"
She threw Koichi into Josuke's hands as she hopped on a different person head within the crowd. She ran to him but was pulled back by Josuke at the front of the crowd.
"Oi! Calm down! He's about to kill that woman! Just think about something else!"
The knife maniac laughed.
"Y-Yeah! Get that bitch on a leash! At least there's a brain in that shitty hair!"
Koichi ran past the crowd but stopped as he heard that. He looked up to Josuke and let out a small squeak.
"Not you too...!"
"What...?"
"I knew it...! R-Rarity! Pull him back!"
Rarity walked with Josuke, she allowed him to lead. The man shrieked as he shoved the knife under the womans chin.
"H-H-Hey! I'm the mad dog here! G-Get back! I'll kill her!"
The man raised his knife.
"No, fuck it! I'm mad! I'll kill her now!"
Josuke sent his Stand. It punched right through the woman and maniac.
"You're mad? That's my line, asshole!"
Josuke pulled the woman away, she was just fine, but the knife had ended up inside the man's intestine. He screeched and fell over limp. The police began to detain him, but his mouth opened wide. A strange small man made of water slithered out.
[ "Now that's new! There's another guy like me here!? You've ruined my fun, so I'll ruin your life! I'll be watching you. Even when you shit or masturbate!" ]
The man slipped and slided across the ground and into a sewer drain. He repeated the last sentence with a perverted tone. Yet, before Josuke could process it, he and Rarity were detained on the spot by the police. This, was only the start of their adventure.
