Yellow Temperance - Cable Car's and Water!
"W-What are you going to do?" Anne asked
"I'm going after Jotaro!"
Hanabi ran forward just as another cable car was leaving, "Queens Thorn!"
Vines wrapped around Hanabi's wrist then shot out hooking onto the cable car. The vines pulled Hanabi forward and she landed safely on the roof.
Hanabi stood on the roof looking at the cable car in front of her where Jotaro was. As she looked in the cable car she could no longer see the Kakyoin imposter but another man was there with yellow ooze around him.
"That must be his Stand, he must have used it to disguise himself as Kakyoin," Hanabi said
Hanabi was about to jump and hook onto to the cable car but then Jotaro smashed through the windows jumping out of the cable car.
"Jojo!" Hanabi yelled jumping off the cable car.
Jotaro reached forward for the ledge of a tower but he missed it falling down. Star Platinum came out to grab onto the edge but then something grabbed the back of his jacket pulling him up onto the tower.
"Jotaro are you crazy!" Hanabi yelled
Jotaro looked at Hanabi behind her were four large Orchid Petals on her back looking like wings. Hanabi had jumped off the cable car and used the petals to glide down and grab Jotaro.
"Thanks," Jotaro simply said
Hanabi was about to yell again but stopped rather surprised by Jotaro's thank you and not his usual "Yare yare daze".
She looked at Jotaro slightly confused, "Well okay, I'm glad you're not flat on the street."
Jotaro held up his hand to reveal the yellow ozone moving on it.
"What is that?!" Hanabi yelled grabbing onto Jotaro's hand.
Hanabi was about to touch it when Jotaro pulled his hand back.
"Don't touch it. It devours flesh."
"Devours flesh? Wait that means it's devouring your flesh right now! We gotta get it off!" Hanabi said
Jotaro looked forward and Hanabi followed his eyes. Rubber Soul was smirking at them from the cable car, Yellow Temperance draped over his shoulders as it wiggled around.
"Hehe! Do you really think you got away? Well, I guess I'd better tell you. Get a straw, suck out all the gunk in your ears, and listen up. My Stand, Yellow Temperance, has no weaknesses. It's not that you ran away. It's just that I don't have to chase you, you little shit! Hahahahaha!" Rubber Soul yelled out as the cable car got further away.
Jotaro pulled out his lighter and flicked it on.
"Jojo! That'll burn you too!" Hanabi said knowing exactly what he was going to do.
"Then treat my burns because I'm gonna burn this shit to death," Jotaro said
Jotaro held the lighter up to the Yellow Temperance that was on his finger. At first, it seems like it was working but then Yellow Temperance shook and expanded covering more of Jotaro's hand.
"Jojo!" Hanabi yelled
"Heating it is a bad idea. Damn it," Jotaro cursed
"Jotaro," Hanabi said point over at another cart. Jotaro looked over to see a little boy licking on an ice pop.
Jotaro nodded his head getting what Hanabi was saying. When the car came close enough Jotaro and Hanabi jumped using their Stands to get on it.
Star Platinum pulled the door off and the two climbed in. Inside was a sleeping man with a dog on a leash, a woman, and the little boy.
"Pardon," Jotaro said
"Sorry for the intrusion," Hanabi said
"Oh, my. Talk about a strange entrance," The woman said
"Don't mind us," Jotaro bent down to the kid, "Hey, kid. Lemme see your ice pop for a sec." Jotaro took the ice pop from the kid instantly getting tears.
"Hey! What are you doing to that boy's ice pop?" The woman asked
"Is this your kid?" Jotaro asked
"No," The woman said waving her hand.
"Then shut up and enjoy the scenery," Jotaro said
"Don't cry I'll buy you a new one when we get back on the ground," Hanabi said patting the boy's head.
"Kay," The boy sniffled nodding his head.
Jotaro held the ice pop up to Yellow Temperance but once the frozen treat made contact it spiked up.
"Oh crap!" Hanabi said
"N-Now its forming needles and digging into my hand!" Jotaro said
"I'm so sorry Jotaro! This was my idea. Gah! I don't know any plants that can be used as solvents!" Hanabi said
"The won't work Hanabi!"
Hanabi froze when she heard the woman say her name.
"Fire and ice won't work at all and neither will any of your plants," The woman said making Hanabi and Jotaro's eyes widen.
"I told you. It doesn't have a weakness, keke," The woman said
Hanabi heard whimpering and gasped as she looked down. The woman's legs where Yellow Temperance and it was in the middle of devouring the dog.
"You little shits! Hahahaha!" The woman or rather Rubber Soul laughed
"Papa! The puppy! The puppy!" The little kid yelled shaking the sleeping man awake.
"You bastard! You were already in this cable car?" Jotaro said
The older man finally woke up and screamed once he saw what was happening to his dog. The man started tugging on the dog's leash which was a bad idea.
"It's dangerous! Don't pull! Let go!" Jotaro said
Hanabi screamed as the dog's head popped off and flew at the man since he was still holding the leash.
"I'm here to finish you off….." The woman face exploded to reveal Rubber Soul, "Jotaro buddy!"
Star Platinum came out and grabbed the safety bar quickly bringing it down on Rubber Soul's face.
"You're fast! But…." Yellow Temperance easily blocked the attack, "Like I keep telling you, I don't have any weakness! Are you even listening to me!"
"Hey did you forget I was here!" Hanabi yelled, Queens Thorn sent out a barrage of bullet seeds but Yellow Temperance caught them and quickly devoured the seeds.
"Not good," Hanabi said
"Nice try honey, but My Stand is essentially an armor that consumes power. A barrier that attacks. No matter how fast you may be, no matter how strong you may be, it's absolutely useless before Yellow Temperance! You can't defeat me! You can't even run, unless you cut off your right hand! Do you understand!" Yellow Temperance shot out and latched onto various parts of Jotaro and Hanabi, "You have no way of winning! You can't get away! Not until you're digested! I'll eat you both up!"
"Yare yare daze. This thing really doesn't have a weakness. It could be the most powerful thing ever. How terrifying. But the Kujo family…...No. The Joestar family has its own philosophy when it comes to fighting. I still have just one strategy left," Jotaro said
"What?" Rubber Soul asked
"That's….." Jotaro wrapped an arm around Hanabi's waist and pulled her close to him. Star Platinum came out and punched a hole in the bottom of the cable car, "...to run away!"
Jotaro jumped through the hole holding Hanabi, but Rubber Soul immediately followed.
"What the hell?! You're in the middle of being eaten, you ass! My Stand's got a hold of you and the girl, you can't escape, and you say you'll run?" Rubber Soul said
"I may be running….." The three splashed in the water and Star Platinum put Rubber Soul in a chokehold, "But I'm running into the water."
"I-I can't breathe…." Rubber Soul said
"You opened your Stands guard so you could breathe. No matter how invincible that Stand may be, if I defeat the user, the Stand will die, too."
"Do you understand?" Hanabi asked smirking at Rubber Soul.
Jotaro held up his fist, "You sure talked a lot of crap back there. I'm the type that takes such things to heart." He punched Rubber Soul right in the face knocking a tooth out.
"Wow without the defense of his Stand he's pretty weak," Hanabi said
Rubber Soul resurfaced the water blood dripping down his face, "S-Stop…..I can't recover anymore! My nose is broken. They're going to have to wire my jaw, too. Dio bought my services. I don't plan to risk my life going after you people." Yellow Temperance was pulled back off of Hanabi and Jotaro, "There! See?"
"How about you talk," Jotaro said
"Yeah, tell us about the Stand users that Dio is sending after us," Hanabi said
"Th-That's the one thing I can't say. I have some pride. I can't rat out my own side….." Rubber Soul said
"I see. Well, that's honorable." Jotaro held his fist up.
"I remember now!" Rubber Soul yelled holding up his hands in fear.
"So much for pride," Hanabi muttered under her breath.
"Death 13, The Empress, The Hanged Man, and The Emperor are the four that will come after you!" Rubber Soul said
"I see. And what are their powers?" Jotaro asked
"I-I don't know," Rubber Soul said as he slowly moved towards land, "N-No, really! I really don't know! Stand users don't show others their powers, because it'd expose their weakness. B-But there is some witch who told Dio about Stands….And her son is among the four. His name is Centerfold. He's a man with two right hands."
Hanabi gasped, "You're not lying are you because if you are," Hanabi held up her fist too and she was a little surprised when the man yelped and pulled back in fear. Hanabi has never struck fear in anyone before, she had a dainty and cute appearance. Nothing about her screamed fear me.
Rubber Soul held up his hands and shook his head, "No no I'm not lying. His card is The Hanged Man. He's the one that killed Polnareff's sister, isn't he? I've heard a rumor about his powers….." Rubber Soul threw his arm up over the ledge to the get out of the water, "A mirror apparently, he uses a mirror. I haven't actually seen it, but Polnareff has no chance of winning. He's gonna die."
Suddenly Rubber Soul smirked and pulled himself out of the water sitting on a pipe, "I just realized, Jotaro, Hanabi….Hehehehe, but it looks like the goddess of fortune is still on my side. Hehe, See that drain? There's a lot of crayfish around it. Take a good look."
Hanabi and Jotaro looked over to see a drainage pipe that indeed did have a lot of crayfish in it. Suddenly one of the crayfish was yanked into the drain. The bolts on the grate of the drain blew off and Yellow Temperance started to leak out the holes.
Hanabi and Jotaro looked back over at Rubber Soul to see him lying on the ground his hand sending Yellow Temperance into a manhole.
Yellow Temperance shot out of the drainpipe hitting Hanabi first and knocking her back into Jotaro. The two were stuck together entangled in Yellow Temperance.
"YAHAHAHAHA! That little drain is connected to the manhole that's near me! I'm gonna pull you two in and hold you there!" Hanabi and Jotaro were yanked forward, Hanabi closed her eyes since she was in the front she was gonna hit the concrete wall first and she knew it was gonna hurt. Her eyes squeezed tight preparing for the impact but the pain never came.
Hanabi opened her eyes and saw Jotaro had thrown his arm up shifting his shoulders so he would take the hit instead of Hanabi. Jotaro's eyes showed that he was clearly pissed off and frankly Hanabi was too.
"Now you two can't attack me! Looks like what I told you about that man with right hands will go to waste. To think there was a hole so close that I could pull you two into. Man, am I ever lucky! I even ate some crayfish and powered up," Rubber Soul said
Hanabi let out a gasp as Yellow Temperance pulled more on her and Jotaro yanking her into the wall, and Jotaro closer to drainage hole.
"I'll crush you two up and turn you into jam! If I kill you Jotaro, Dio will give me a hundred million dollars and a little bonus for killing Hanabi too. To think I can make that much from a few minutes fighting. Don't you think I'm pretty lucky?
"Yare yare daze," Jotaro said
"You sure do monologue a lot. All that talking makes it hard for you to observe yourself," Hanabi said
"Haven't you realized you were only lucky up until now? Before, you only suffered a broken nose, but that's when you were truly lucky!" Jotaro said
Rubber Soul let out a yelp when he felt something grasp onto his legs and arms. He was pulled down his face slamming painfully hard on the manhole.
Hanabi smirked as Queens Thorn's vines held down the cocky man. Star Platinum appeared out of the water throwing a punch at the sewage drain shooting water pressure into it. Queens Thorn lets go of Yellow Temperance as the water pressure shot the manhole cover off rocketing Rubber Soul up into the air. The manhole cover followed the man and slammed into his face. He fell back into the water with a loud splash.
Once he resurfaced Jotaro was standing right behind him as Hanabi sat on the edge of the wall crossing her arms and legs waiting for the show.
The man squealed as Jotaro lifted him up by his hair.
"I-I was just kidding, Mr. Jotaro. I was just messing with you and the girl! I didn't mean anything by it. Come on now. Did you take it personally? Y-You're not thinking of hitting me anymore, are you? I'm a seriously injured man. My nose is broken and my jaws gonna have to be wired shut…." Rubber Soul said
"I have nothing more to say to you. You're too pathetic to talk to any more," Jotaro said
"Here it comes," Hanabi said
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"
Star Platinum easily turned Rubber Soul's face into jam.
"And that's a K.O. for Jotaro!" Hanabi said winking and posing.
Queens Thorn appeared blowing a kiss with a wink.
"Gah! Why do keep making these provocative poses!?" Hanabi exclaimed

Once Rubber Soul was officially out Hanabi and Jotaro met back up with the group and quickly caught the next train out of Singapore.
Hanabi sat next to Jotaro and Kakyoin sat across from them.
"So we're finally heading to India. So the man with two right hands is called Centerfold. By the way, where's Anne?" Polnareff said
"She was at the Singapore Station up until the time the train departed, but…." Joseph said
"I'm sure that the time for her to meet her father had arrived, so she went to see him," Avdol said
"And she didn't say goodbye?" Hanabi questioned
"I can't help but think that the brat was lying about seeing her father though. Well, it's a bit lonely without her around isn't it Jojo? Hanabi? Although if we're gonna have any girl around I'm glad it's a beautiful one such as you Hanabi." Polnareff said
Hanabi smiled behind her hand while Jotaro sent Polnareff a glare.
"But talk about creepy. A Stand that perfectly disguised itself as me," Kakyoin said
"Apparently, it had already transformed when we left the hotel," Jotaro said
"Jojo, are you going to eat that cherry? I don't mean to be greedy, but they're my favorite. Could I have it?" Kakyoin asked
"Yeah," Jotaro said
Kakyoin reached over and picked up the cherry, "Thank you." He put it in his mouth and Hanabi's eyes nearly shot out her head as she saw him roll it around his tongue like Rubber Soul did.
"Rero rero rero rero rero rero rero rero rero rero rero rero rero rero rero!"
Jotaro got a disgusted look on his face as Hanabi covered her eyes.
Kakyoin finally stopped and pointed outside, "Hanabi, Jojo look flamingos in flight."
"Yare yare daze," Jotaro said
"Hey Hanabi," Hanabi turned to Polnareff, "I just noticed but your clothes….super sexy!" Polnareff cheered giving her two thumbs up.
Hanabi flushed and looked away, "Thanks but they're not supposed to be sexy they're practical."
As Hanabi turned away from Polnareff, Joseph caught the letters CH embroidered on her clothing.
"T-Those are Cutie Honey clothes!" Joseph said surprised
"Yeah they are, how'd you know Mr. Joestar?" Hanabi asked
"That's all my wife ever wants to wear," Joseph said
"Oh, Mrs. Suzie! I met her when she came for a visit to see Jotaro," Hanabi said
"OH! I heard of Cutie Honey! That's some expensive stuff, Hanabi must be loaded!" Polnareff said
"They are expensive but I don't ever pay for them," Hanabi said surprising everyone but Jotaro.
"H-Hanabi don't tell me you stole those," Avdol said
Hanabi shook her hands no, "No no, I don't pay for them because the owner of Cutie Honey is my mother."
"Ehhhh!"
Joseph and Polnareff gaped at Hanabi.
"Your mother is Honey Moon!" Polnareff said
"That's right, oh I think I have a picture," Hanabi reaches over and into Jotaro's jacket once again surprising everyone. She pulled her hand out of Jotaro's jacket revealing a purple wallet. Jotaro took it upon himself to decide to hold onto Hanabi's wallet since she'd lose it. Jotaro's words, not hers.
Hanabi opened the wallet and pulled out a small picture showing it to everyone. It was of her and her mother at the grand opening of one of the stores.
Hanabi looked around six while the woman looked to be around her mid 20's. Hanabi's mother was a beautiful woman who had long black hair and a rather curvaceous body, it was clear where Hanabi got her figure from. Hanabi and her mother wore matching red dresses as they both held a large pair of golden scissors cutting a ribbon.
"My mother used to take me everywhere when I was little, but once I turned seven my father thought it'd be a good idea to stay in one place. So we settled in his home country of Japan where we lived down the street from Jotaro," Hanabi said
"So that's how you two met?" Kakyoin asked
"Well not exactly," Hanabi got a thoughtful look, "You see my mother liked to dress me up in all kinds of fancy clothing she still does it now but the day I met Jotaro….."
Past
A small girl with long lavender hair walked into a park, as she entered all eyes were drawn to her. She wore a white dress that could easily be considered a mini wedding dress, it had a large chiffon skirt that almost dragged on the ground. She wore white sandals, hand on white gloves, and carried a lace white parasol. It was pretty clear why the girl drew so much attention to herself. As she passed by some parents they all awed at how cute the small girl looked. The young girl new to her surroundings looked around the playground hoping to find someone to play with. She spotted a group of three boys by a sandbox and walked over hoping to make some new friends.
"Hello…." The girl shyly greeted.
The boys all turned to face the girl and looked her up and down after a few seconds of observing her they started to laugh pointing at her.
"What's with your clothes!"
The little girl frowned instantly.
"You look dumb!"
The little girl huffed and turned away going to find someone else to talk to. She may have been six but she was smart enough to know when idiots were about. She didn't get very far when she felt something yank on her hair pulling her back causing her to fall on her butt dropping her parasol in the process.
"T-that was mean!" The little girl cried
"Aww is the little baby gonna cry." One of the boys mocked.
Another one kicked up some dirt in girls face also dirting her dress.
"Stop it!" The girl cried as tears started to fall down her cheeks.
The boys continued to laugh and as one picked up her parasol.
"No! Put that down, my mother made that for me!" The girl shouted standing up.
"What are you gonna do about it!" The Boy said dangling it above the short girl.
The little girl clenched her fist she jumped up and bit the boy latching her teeth onto him his arm.
The boy let out a yell and hit the girl in the face causing her to fall back in the dirt. Before the boys could retaliate a ball hit one of the boys in the face.
"Leave her alone!"
Everyone looked over to see a rather tall kid with black hair and blue eyes with an angry scowl.
"It-Its Jotaro!"
The boys all scrambled running away as Jotaro approached. The bullies were quickly gone and that just left the little girl and Jotaro.
"Thank you…" The girl said shyly.
"Whatever…." Jotaro said looking away.
The girl stayed on the ground hands on her lap staring at the dirt. A hand was suddenly thrusted in her face. She looked up to see the taller boy holding his hand out looking away from her.
"Well, are you gonna take it or it just sit there and look like an idiot?"
The girl blinked her doe-like eyes before giving the boy a cheerful smile grabbing his hand. He easily pulled her and onto her feet.
"I'm Hanabi Moon," She greeted a bright smile on her face.
"Jotaro…..Jotaro Kujo."
"Nice to meet you Jotaro! Let's be friends okay!"
A small almost invisible blush came to the young Kujo's face as he looked away, "Yare yare daze."
Hanabi just giggled happy to have a new friend.
Present
"...And that's how Jotaro and I met. We've been friends ever since," Hanabi said
"More like you followed me everywhere and wouldn't leave me alone," Jotaro said
"Oh come on, you know you love my company," Hanabi giggled
Jotaro just looked away hiding his smile. Hanabi smiled too, happy to have someone like Jotaro in her life.
