New Meridian Streets

The serial killer had to stick to the ally ways in order to avoid suspicion but even then it was an almost impossible task as most of it involved Hiding when he saw someone approaching the corner.

It was degrading and humiliating, but it at least gave him a better look at what he was dealing with, even if it wasn't Human.

Apparently he was in a place called New Meridian, he had heard that in a passing conversation with what appeared to be a walking sea creature and a normal person. That sight was still not out of his mind.

There was good news, or as good as it would get at least. He had been taken away from that irritating group that had almost managed to do him in. At least here he could salvage something out this situation

But then there was bad news.

Someone was following him.

He had figured out when he had reached two blocks. It was a black limousine with gold plates on it, clearly whoever was driving it was of high status. But why they had been following him, he was unsure.

He went back into the ally way, turning around to the other block. Sure enough he heard the limo rev up again as it slowly trawled towards the ally.

Kira frowned, now he definitely knew he was the object of there interest. He needed to get away.

He limped the other way, going under what appeared to be an abandoned parking lot of sorts. Not the idea location, but he could not go anywhere public in the condition he was in without raising a few brows.

The murderer hid behind a pillar before cautiously gazing outwards. There the limo was, turning up in the parking lot before someone turned off the ignition.

The car door opened. Kira quickly retreated behind the column before two voices spoke up.

"You sure this is where he went?"

"Of course I'm sure, there's no where else he can go."

Kira cursed, they were right. The only exit was past the limo, the parking lot might as well have been a trap.

"We know your there mista! C'mon out, we promise we won't hurt ya!" There was a snicker from the same voice.

"Albus, stop messing around and look." The second voice said. The voice of Albus muttered in annoyance.

"Telling me that ya, out a shape bird."

"What did you jus-"

Kira was backing away until his foot accidentally stepped on something, a broken bottle of glass. It made a noticeable crinkle sound.

Immediately the two of them were silent.

"D-Damn it!" Kira thought before retreating behind the pillar again.

He hugged closely against the pillar, footsteps were now beginning to grow closer to his position. As if fate wasn't already against him. A bead of sweat began to form on his forehead.

There was no way Kira could run either, he was way too injured. However he felt something in his pocket.

A 100 yen coin. The exact someone he used to kill that annoying student. Kira's face lit up as Killer Queen wordlessly appeared beside him, touching the coin.

"Hopefully this will provide a distraction." Kira thought before he tossed the coin, it flipped to the side of the parking lot, away from his position. The coin clattered against the ground, making both footsteps stop.

"Over there." one of the voices whispered before the footsteps grew distant. Kira sighed in relief, he had avoided confrontation which allowed him to get a better look at what he was dealing with.

The two had their backs turned to Kira. The serial killer realized what he was dealing with wasn't even human as they both were hulking figures. One of them adorning a white suit and hair, black fur, and long canine like ears whilst the other one sported feathers, wore a feather cap, and a dark blue suit.

The jackal looking one knelt beside the coin before picking it up.

Kira smirked.

"100? What the hell kinda currency is thi-"

Killer queen clicked.

And then all hell went loose.

Cracks began to form on the surface of the servants fur before fire billowed out, Killer Queen's power being reflected from inside. Then the explosion came, engulfing the jackal's body.

"GAAAH!" Albus yelled in pain and shock. Blue and black blood formed on the cracks of where his fur and skin used to be.

"ALBUS!" Horace yelled as the bird held his hands in front of him, his glasses flying off from the explosion.

Kira took the opportunity to escape, limping right past the two of them as Horace knelt down. Apparently the explosion wasn't enough to kill the humanoid, but it didn't matter as all the serial killer needed to do was to get away.

He was almost home free, once he came out of the parking lot, he could hide somewhere and plan his next move. It was time like these where fate would test him, and now he was the victor.

That was until the passenger door of the limo opened. Kira stopped dead in his tracks.

A lady came out, her skin was that Mediterranean dissent, with blue eyes and a dress that showed her status as a wealthy singer. She looked concerned for her servants status, however she spotted Kira. It was then she narrowed her eyes at him before smirking.

Had she been a victim, Kira would have been infatuated with her beauty. But now he was dead serious. However he could have sworn her eyes look liked the yellows of a cats for a split second but he quickly dismissed it, instead standing still to stare at her directly.

She was in the way of his escape, He would just have to dispose of her. His fingers twitched as he was about to release Killer Queen.

"So... You were the one who reeks of death." the woman said.

He immediately paused.

No normal person would say that, not even in the slightest, and what did she mean by that in the first place? Why had they been trailing him? Could they have possibly known about his true nature?

Kira's face turned into that of sheer coldness.

It didn't matter, because now that she was in the way of his escape, then he would have to kill her. His finger nails grew a centimeter, almost like a cats as his body was poised to kill.

Without a word, Killer Queen materialized before rushing forward, the Stands black leather fingers were just inches away from reaching it's target. The other hand had it's fist balled just in time to detonate.

This was the moment that made Kira feel so alive, when he dealt with something that threatened his state of being.

That was until her hand, or more exactly, the skeletal variant of it thrust forward, catching Killer Queen by the forearm.

"What!?" Kira yelled as his arm struggled. Killer Queen's normally emotionless face looked as if it was midway through a gasp.

No longer was it the harmless looking singer, now it was something else entirely as her upper body split up like gel, showing her true form. A skeletal looking being, with yellow cat like eyes and body. The bone on it's face shifted into a grin.

"Not bad. Though I don't think I've seen you before, handsome."

The cat looking parasite drew back it's hand as it straightened into a sharp end, aiming directly for Killer Queen's rib cage.

Kira wanted to scold himself, he had gotten to confident and arrogant. How could he have not seen this, after all Stand users attract other Stand users, and her strange wording should have been another obvious point. Regardless now was not the time of sit around, he needed to act fast otherwise he would surely die.

Killer Queen's hand shot out, grabbing the skeletal being by the arm. Effectively putting both entity's at a standstill before Killer Queen drew back a leg. The parasite merely leaped backwards before transforming back into the lady again, still sporting the smirk.

"Hmph, I know a lot of Theon's. But I've never seen you before. Just who are you exactly?" She asked the Stand, Killer Queen not replying.

Kira paused, he was already thinking of another plan, but he decided to educate her regardless.

"Killer Queen will not talk to you, he is a Stand-" Kira said before posing, Killer Queen mirroring his moves, ready to strike. "-And therefore an extension of my will."

Eliza looked at Kira. "Interesting. It's as if you both think alike in mind. Something I thought I could only accomplish." Her skin peeled away to reveal Sehkmet once more, "Y'know, I might have taken an interest in you..." She said, sounding more murderous.

Kira wasn't even deterred, he had faced off much worse. This was a test, a test from fate, and he was going to beat it any way possible. If it ended in a fight then so be it. Killer Queen was about to spring forward before Horace rounded the corner, carrying his wounded friend.

"Highness! Albus is really hurt and I think-" Horace paused when he spotted Kira. "It was that ruffian!" before pointing a feathered finger. "He had something to do with it!"

Eliza turned from her opponent and sighed before raising a hand up, blood began to leak out from her before encasing Albus, immediately drawing away any wounds the jackal had on him.

"T-Thanks Boss! Almost bit the dust right there!" The jackal said in appreciation as he rubbed the place of where his wounds used to be.

Kira raised a brow.

She turned before she clicked a finger. Within an instant the wounds on Kira's body began to act up.

He hadn't even the chance to react before his own blood shot out, hardening into solid coils of linen before they wrapped around his body with the exception of his eyes, suppressing his movement and muffling his voice. Killer Queen was also not a immune, the tendrils of bloody cloth wrapping around the Stand as it began to struggle instantly.

"Call me unfair,-" Eliza said before placing a hand on Killer Queens bound shoulder before looking at Kira. The murderer was absolutely furious as he struggled. "-but I would prefer for you to be unharmed, I believe we can learn a lot from each other."

Kira sputtered muffled curses beneath his new blood tomb before Eliza laughed.

"Aww, don't be such a pout. I have my own reasons." She smiled before blowing a kiss at him. Kira's eyes shined with hatred before she clicked her fingers.

"Boys!"

"Yes boss." The two servants said before carrying both Kira to the back of the limo, tossing him in the trunk. "Y'know, I don't know how you did it, but that really freaking hurt back there." Albus said before closing it. Leaving the serial killer in darkness.

Now normally Kira would be furiously biting his finger nails in this situation. However he had already calmed down after the dark trunk gave him time to think.

He could still win this situation, he just needed to get out of these bindings. So Kira waited, allowing them to take him wherever. Because once he was loose he would make all three of his captors pay.

And possibly acquire a little "trophy" from that pretty Egyptian.

Downtown New Meridian

"Woah..." were the first words Josuke said as soon as he came out of the hospital. The sky was a perfect blend of orange as the sun slowly began to fall, a few zeppelins were anchored to buildings. The student had seen a Zeppelin on TV but had never actually seen a real one.

"Are you okay Josuke?" Fillia asked as she walked up alongside the gawking teen. "You seem a bit... Confused." Filia said as she tried to best phrase it.

"I-, listen. Filia is it? Where the hell is this place?"

"Um... New Meridian." Filia said as a matter of factly.

"Bullshit. Never heard of a city called 'New Meridian'." Josuke said before walking forward onto the street to get a better look at his surroundings, Filia had to quickly grab the fellow highschooler by the arm and pull him back. A car drove right past where he had been standing. Saving Josuke's life again.

"Jeez! Be careful! Your gonna get yourself hurt again!" Filia said in agitation.

"Who cares!? I need to get back to Morioh!" Josuke said in anger. Filia tilted her head at the word.

Josuke felt like face palming, "Y'know! Like Japan?"

Filia shook her head.

"Asia?"

She shook her head again.

"Fuck. United States?" Josuke said in desperation only for her to shake her head.

"I've never heard of those places Josuke..." Filia said in a honest tone.

Josuke merely looked down, he was unsure of what to do at this point. He considered asking someone else if they knew Morioh or even Japan but the evidence was overwhelming. He was somewhere else entirely, if that made any sense.

Filia was a bit annoyed but it had quickly dropped after seeing him look so down.

"Hey Listen Josuke. All I can tell you is that I found you really wounded before me an-" She quickly corrected herself "-myself took you to the hospital. Maybe your suffering from some form of Amnesia."

"No! Listen, I'm not an amnesic! All I know is that me and my friends got taken through some portal and then-" Josuke came to a realization, "Wait! If I'm here, then that must mean Koichi, Okuyasu, Jotaro. Hell, Even Rohan must have ended up here as well!" Josuke said as his tone brightened up, he started trawling down the sidewalk. "I gotta go find them!"

"Woah! Josuke wait up!" Upon hearing her voice the highschooler stopped in his tracks before looking back. "Do you even have any idea where your going?" Filia said as she walked up beside him.

Josuke merely scratched the back of his head in embarrassment before shaking it.

"Er, no not really."

Filia paused in thought before giving a smile. "How about get a milkshake at Mad man's cafe? Maybe ask if anyone has seen your friends on the way there."

Josuke pondered in thought before smiling as well, a small amount of relief in a otherwise shitty situation.

"A-alright... Alright, I like milkshakes anyways." Josuke said before looking down sheepishly, inspecting the cracks on the sidewalk. "By the way, I should probably thank you... Again. Your going out of your way to help some random stranger you found on the streets

Filia merely smiled before speaking, "Think nothing of it. Besides, if it wasn't me then who else would lend you a hand?"

Josuke smiled before nodding, turning around and walking forward.

It was then that Samson decided to whisper.

"Careful Filia... There's something up with him. I can't place a hair on it."

"Aw Samson, Don't be like that. He's just confused. I mean c'mon,-" Filia slightly chuckled. "-remember when I had no idea where I was with you on my head." she said.

The Parasite merely grunted, "Yeah. Don't remind me." before staying silent.

Filia smiled before catching up with Josuke, the two of them walking towards the uptown of New Meridian.
