Part 4: The Way to Heaven

Ideas about the lunatic swirled through my head. His name? What did he mean when he talked about a 'stand'. A way to heaven? This guy really is insane. There's no way to reach heaven, unless you die, of course. It was only a few hours after, in the dead of night, I heard crashing noises near the front of my house, I shot out of my bed and scrambled around my room, looking for that pre-owned journal I bought, when I found it I left my room and rushed to the door. They were knocking in my door. I opened it, outside were two men in uniforms. On the hats they were, were the letters SPW.

"We need you to come with us," One of them said.
"Why?" I ask.
"We have questions for you."
Then, they dragged me out of my house, and moved me into a car. I didn't try to run, because jumping out of a car would be one way to get to heaven. We finally arrive at a large building, somewhere in a city. The doors open, and I'm allowed out. When I get out, the light of the morning sun shines from behind the building. They gesture for me to go in. I reach the front desk, with the two employees. The recipient gestures to go down, but I don't see a way downstairs. I'm taken behind the desk, and into a back room, where the staircase is. I'm led down the stairs, where one of them inserts a card into the door, to unlock it. I'm led through grey halls into a room marked 'interrogation'. I sit down on a chair, and one of them sits down opposite me.
"What do you want to know?" I ask, keeping the journal close.
"We believe you are the only survivor of the 'Museum Attack'," He starts, "According to the footage, you were stabbed by an item we call a 'Stand Arrow'. If your stabbed by it, your stand potential, might awaken. According to the footage, you were stabbed by it, and then got up, what is your stand's ability?"
"My stand's ability is that it can be a magnet, although I'm still not sure how powerful it is though."
"Then try using it on someone, or perhaps find a metallic object to try it on. Anyways, what happened at the museum?"
"It was one of the supposed 'stands'. It used it's ability in the museum and killed everyone in their. The only reason I survived was because of my new stand."
He sighs, and gets up. I think he's heard enough. He leads me through to a new room labeled 'S. Group D'. I'm lead in, and inside is a lobby, it's nicely furnished, and there are a few other people inside, when the door opened, everyone inside looked at me.
"From here on, Akira, you will be part of this team," The SPW member says.
And then he closes the door. All of the current members look at me. One of them gets up from their seat, and walked over towards me.
"Welcome to the team, newbie. I'm the leader of Stand Squad D, Namari Brando," He says, looking down at me, quite intimidating. I'll just remember this guy as the 'Blonde Guy Who Looks Down at Me', "These other two are Joho Kitukere, he's the one with the red hair, and Mina Sachi, the one with the green hair."
"We can introduce ourselves, Brando!" Mina yells.
Namari gives an arrogant 'humph' and returns to his seat.
"When are we gonna start on this assignment? We got it yesterday, and we still haven't gotten started yet," Joho sighs.
"Well, we have the new guy here, why don't we send you and him on the mission!" Mina suggests.
Namari simply nods is head, and Joho gets up with a sigh, and motions to me to come with him. I leave the room, and we walk out of SPW room.
"So... What are we looking for?" I ask.
"I don't know, to be honest. It's something related to a group of stand users," He says.
Well that's not much help.
"I know they're somewhere in Bakayou, just follow me," Joho says, leading me to the place.
We arrive at Bakayou, and look around, it's a residential area, houses all around a busy central plaza. We walk to the central plaza first, everybody bustling about, from behind I hear a scream, we look around, and someone is staring at a stand, it's small, and only has a black trench coat on, and a single gun in it's hand. Most people just think she's screaming for no reason, but soon, more screams erupt from the crowd, as more of the black trench coat things start appearing, soon, there's at least 20 of these gun holding things everywhere. We were surrounded by the black things. They start firing bullets everywhere, the bullets phase through people's skin, but they seem to die anyways. I see a bullet phase into my hand, I feel a finger break, the finger that the bullet went into. It seems like these bullets break the bones they get shot into.
"Any idea which one of them is the origin of all these gunmen?" I ask Joho, who is focusing on dodging their bullets.
I rush towards one of the gunmen, and knock out it's user. The gunmen disappears, which leaves only 19 gunmen left. I sigh, and keep looking around, the rush continues and people are screaming, and bullets are killing or breaking bones. Although I though there were only 19 gunmen left, it seems that nearly everybody else has gotten this strange gunmen.
"Where are they all coming from?" Joho asks.
I just shrug, and feel a tap behind me. I spin around me, and see someone wearing a trench coat, a lot like these gunmen, I unleash my stand, and attack, but I miss. I need to find their user, I follow the stand, and it's still walking around, tapping people's backs, and then the mini-stand appears. This is the source! I continue following it, hoping it would reach it's user soon, but all I'm seeing is an all out war of scared people and mini-stands going against their 'user'. Several shots nearly hit me, and Joho got a bullet to his arm. It seems that this battle has become an all-out war.

Part 5: The Way to Heaven: Panic! Edition

I continued following the stand, as it continued making more gunmen, whom were all starting to stop attacking each other, but started attacking me and Joho, although they were still attacking each other. No matter how much we followed it, it kept looping, walking over bodies as if they were part of the sidewalk.

"Looks like I'll need to use my stand, if this thing doesn't want to show us the way to it's user," Joho sighs.
At that moment, a black, mechanical-like suit forms around Joho, presumably his stand. It was pretty shiny, and looked futuristic, with a mechanical visor on it's head for Joho to look through, the hands were tipped with sharp claws, with blue streaks running into the tips. On it's back was a large silver 'P' and an '!' next to it. Joho had picked up significant speed, but was still trying to stay somewhat nearby me, as it seems that the blue lines are some kind of electricity that zaps away most of the bullets near him. As we made our way closer to the stand, Joho lunged at the stand, his feet landing on each shoulder, he was somehow sticking onto it as it moved. He reached his hands straight down to it's head, digging his hands into it's forehead. At that moment, all of the gunmen, and the people who had been given the gunmen froze up, frozen in place. All the bullets had stopped flying everywhere.
"This is my stand, Akira. It's called Panic!. It freezes the stand user, and the stand. It also shows where the user of the stand is, by just making them glow," Joho explains. "Go! Find the user among the crowd!"
I nod, and start moving among the crowd of tensed up people, until I finally find someone glowing.
"I found them!" I yell to Joho as I grab them.
He let's go of them, and glides across the crowd and gets to the user.
"Damn, didn't think I'd get caught by the SPW while trying to find Jin," They sighed.
"Jin? Who might that be?" Joho asks, threatening to use their stand's electric ability on them.
"Should've asked the boss that question. He just told me what they looked like, and to use my stand to eliminate any of the SPW's stand users," They admitted.
"So you're just a mindless lackey," Joho sighs.
I hear a click behind me, so I turn my head to see what it is, it's the stand, holding a large shotgun. It fires, and I use my stand to attract the bullets to my hands, and changing their course so they miss completely. Joho slits their neck swiftly, their stand dissipates, and the gunmen disappear. I drop the body, and we return to the SPW, and move to the Stand Squad D room.
"Did you finish the job?" Namari asks as we walk in.
"We had to kill them, they gave us a little information before trying to kill us," Joho sighs. "Do we have anymore assignments?"
"Yes, but, what did they tell you?" Mika asks.
"Something about a guy called Jin. Their boss is looking for them," I sigh, "Their boss is probably the guy who attacked me."
Mika's eyes dart across the room, Namari shakes his head, and Joho sits down at the table.
"I'll go on the next assignment with Akira, Namari," Mika says, looking at Namari.
"Very well, go on ahead. The assignment is in the old plaza tourist attraction on the outskirts of S City," Namari explains. "We're gathering information about horizontal grass in one specific area."
We leave the room, and head to the plaza, travelling by a helicopter to a nearby site.. An abandoned amusement park was nearby, and I was about to set off, but Mika stopped me.
"I'm waiting for one more thing, just be patient," She said.
A few moments later, and a horse was dropped off here, Mika got on it, I wondered how they transported something like a horse, and we left.
"So... Why did you get a horse?" I ask, looking ahead.
"To make sure I use my ability to it's full potential," She replied.
"You mean your stand?" I ask.
"No, not quite. I have a different ability, but was still put into the group," She explains. "My ability revolves around a skill called 'spin'. It utilizes a thing called the golden rectangle, but I won't talk about that now, it's a skill that can be utilized in many ways, offense and defense."
"But I don't see anything that you can use this 'spin' on," I sigh.
"I just use my blood. I cut my arm and let enough blood drip down onto my arm, and..." She pauses for a moment, "You know what, trying to explain how I use spin might be a bit confusing, basically, I spin my own blood."
She's right, that is confusing. We press onward towards the plaza, reaching in minutes thanks to Mina's horse. When we arrive, we both notice the guy. We approach as quietly as we can, but get spotted anyways.
"If you're planning to go stealthily, you should've ditched the horse," He sighs.
Then his stand appears, a see-through human like stand.
"There's no point hiding, I need to complete this assignment, so bugger off or come out," He says.
I get off the horse, and Mika starts circling the area.
He rushes me first, lifting his stands arm in preparation for a punch. He throws the punch, I push it away, and retaliate with a punch to his arm, as soon as I touch his arm, it shatters. He screams in pain, as his arm disappears too. He lashes out in pain, smashing his legs with the remaining arm, before finally smashing his chest, shattering the rest of his body.
"That was surprisingly easy. His stand was fragile, and I guess he had anger issues," I sigh.
Around that time, the world around us turns a pale blue colour, and the sky flies backwards, night then back to day and so on. As we stand there, the grass sways backwards, light flicker on and off, a hole opens up in the ground, people appear, old stains of blood turns return to their liquid state.

Part 6: Rotational Energy

Finally, the world settles back to normal. I was dumbfounded by what I just saw. Then I noticed he was back, somehow, he had come back to life.
"This is my stands ability, rewinding time depending on how many body parts I break. People aren't affected by the ability, but people who died are able to come back to life until I desire to return to the present day, they won't know we're here, we can't talk or touch them either. My stand is called Roundabout, just so you know," He explains.
Mika grits her teeth, and cuts the top of her arm, blood trickles down, the enemy is preoccupied with watching the scene play out, a fight. A cloaked figure, is present, and so is another humanoid looking stand.
I look back at Mika, who has a puddle of blood in her hand now. At the same time, an aura appears around the blood that has trickled down and is trickling down to her hand, and it shapes itself into a ball.
"DOORRRAAAA!" Mika yells, throwing the blood ball, I can see it spinning in midair. This must be the spin she mentioned.
The enemy notices it, and Roundabout appears, ready to shatter it's body if need be, the ball hits the center of the chest, but it doesn't shatter, instead, the area around it starts spiraling in towards the impact.
What!? Why isn't Roundabout shattering!?" He yells.
"Quickly, Akira! Attack his body while you can, it won't break while my ball is still spinning into it!" Mika yells.
I take the chance, and throw punches at his chest, each of them land successfully, and then the ball returns to a liquid. Mina's watching the scene play out, she looks really intrigued by the fight. Roundabout launches a punch at me, and I catch it, which doesn't seem to shatter it's hand and arm, but it hurts me a lot. For a stand that shatters on impact, it's hands are sturdy and pack a punch. The ball had stopped spinning now, and had melted into blood, staining the stands clear body. It starts moving backwards, before rushing at me with a barrage of punches. I end trying to avoid them, knowing that even if I catch them, they'll still hurt me. I can see one nearing my face, so I catch that one, and pain jolts through my arm, but it seems like the barrage is over now, and the guy seems to be taking a breather. A few seconds later, and another ball comes out of the shadows and starts spinning against Roundabout's chest, keeping it together, I rush in for another barrage, punching only his chest, just in case the rest of him breaks and time winds back again. Once more the ball dissipates, and he prepares for his next attack, lunging at me. I guess his feet are also just as strong as his hands. I roll out of the way as earth shatters underneath it's feet, and it steadies itself, looking around. It finally finds Mika and starts running full speed at her. She throws a small blood ball in defense, missing his chest and instead hitting just below his shoulder. I take this opportunity and rush at him, and snap off his arm. It shatters in my hand, but the shoulder stays on, unaffected by what just happened. Time doesn't rewind, which means once he loses the shoulder, time will rewind once more. He bleeds onto the ground, and falls over, catching himself with the remaining hand . He's beaten. At that moment, I watch the fight play out. The cloaked one had gotten the other one on the ground, and was about to finish them, but the other one retaliated, creating a hole in the ground underneath them, by punching the enemy. That confused me, but they both fell into the hole. I had forgotten about Roundabout and Mika, and began looking around the area. Two more people had walked into the plaza a minute after the two had fell in. One of them was a girl, and the other was a boy. Abruptly, the scene ended, and the present day came back. I looked at the enemy, his head had a new hole in it.
"What happened?" I ask Mika, who seemed shocked.
"He wasn't talking, so I threw a ball at him..." She said. "But then someone shot him."
"I shot him because he had finished his job, and knew too much," A voice from behind said.
I turn around, and see the guy who attacked me at my house, strutting up to him. He was wearing a coat this time, and a flower tucked into one of the coat's pockets. He was holding a gun, smoke was coming out of the barrel.
"Justice demands sacrifices. If I am to bring this place to a bright future, then sacrifices are inevitable," He said, calmly.
We both just stare in his direction, pretending he wasn't there.
"Justice is defending those you care about, and doing the right thing whenever possible, no matter the cost, justice is the seed for positive karma. That is the root of my beliefs," He continues.
"We didn't ask for the root of your beliefs, psycho," Mika says, sighing.
"What kind of thing would even create such twisted beliefs of 'justice'?" I ask Mika, who shrugs, then asks him the question.
"The brave Anzac soldiers, whom defended my home country from the enemies of that time period. They are the base of my justice!" He exclaimed. "Of course, nations have stopped warring now, and thus, new symbols of justice are rare, so I strive to become the next, with my group, I will eliminate those who are evil, just like those three people, whom fought against my most trusted subordinate. They were the impure, killing and beating those who were."
By that point, Mika had thrown a new blood ball, completely white, and it landed directly on his flower, and at that moment, a nearby tree began bursting into pieces.
"Trying to throw white blood cells at me will only weaken your immune system, foolish girl."

A/N: Just in case anybody is wondering, the enemy stand for chapters 4-5 does have a name, but wasn't mentioned (Like a few stands in JoJo that had a name reveal in a different thing). It's name is Smooth Criminal (Namesake: Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm)
