Meanwhile, back in Florida, far from Asahi and the others, Steven & Farra were driving in a car that they got from a rental place, with Krystle, Jace, & Kim in the back. It was a long drive, as they were running out of time.

Steven said, "I got off the phone from the others. Oka Kazamatsuri was defeated and Hotaru Kokonohi was done. All that's left is the priest."

Farra responded, "I know… Asahi texted me that it was a horrible experience. But she extinguished Euphoria." She asked Krystle, "Listen, Krystle… Do you want to wait for your brother? Or The Speedwagon Foundation? Or the rest? Or do you want to face Ritsu, dead-on?"

Jace said, before she answered, "Krystle, they're right. We can do this… Your brother, he might not make it in time. We have 14 hours left. Oka Kazamatsuri's Euphoria Drug Ring is erased, and Ritsu Tainaka's minions are all in shambles. She has no one left. The time is now! Our chance now is to strike while the iron's hot! But if we miss this shot, then we're done for!"

Suddenly, the car slowed down, but it was slower than a snail. Steven asked, "What's wrong?"

Farra growled, "Shit! The car! It's not moving! Something's wrong!"

Jace asked, "What is it? Battery problems? In case you forgot, it's a rental, and it's the only way to get to Cape Canaveral!"

Farra complained, "Damned if I know! But it's still working property! Goddamn car is slowing down!"

She revved the wheels, but they were still in place. Another car drove by and it was going in reverse. A woman screamed for help, but she was muffled. Jace growled, "Enough of this! I'm getting out and push!"

Krystle cried, "NO, WAIT!" She pointed outside, "LOOK!" Trees and rocks were falling back, as they saw in the distance a cloud of dust. A man was rolling onto the street, dead and battered. In their shock, they saw a few people in Florida, rolling away, heading towards The Gang.

Steven gasped, "WHAT THE WHA?" Farra cried, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" They suddenly saw vehicles coming after them. Kim shrieked, "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Krystle cried, "IT'S COMING FROM IN THERE!"

Jace cried, "INCOMING!"

They ducked, and a car smashed their hood. The back window broke open, and Kim's hair was flowing back. She cried, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Steven roared, "FLOOR IT!"

Farra punched the accelerator and hollered, "USHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" And the car slowly went forward, as everything else was going the other way.

Steven cried, "What the hell is this? Are we being sucked into a vacuum?"

Krystle called, "It must be from the road!"

Kim cried, "The road is fine! FLOOR IT, MISS FARRA!"

Farra griped, "I can't! This damn car!"

Steven said, "It's not the road. It's fine and everything's alright. So why the hell are there cars and people after us?"

Jace suddenly slipped backwards, and he grasped on, "Krystle… I don't think it was a cheap car… I think…" He and Kim hung on, "IT'S US! GET OUT OF THE DAMN CAR!"

Kim cried, "We're falling! At this rate, we'll fall to our sideways doom!"

Steven gasped, "Sideways?! Wait…" Farra looked out and cried, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? THE ROAD! THE CARS ARE FALLING SIDEWAYS TOO! IT'S NOT THE ROAD! IT'S US!"

Jace cried, "The cars flying at us! We're actually falling down a cliff!"

Krystle gasped, "Is this… the Priest's doing? But it's not even the New Moon yet! How could this be?"

Farra cried, "EVERYONE! GET OUT OF THE CAR! HANG ON TO EACH OTHER!" She leapt out and cried, "NOW, SUNNY PHOENIX!" She flew to the road, and grabbed onto Krystle's thread tightly, "STONE WIND!" Kim hung on to Jace, holding the hand of Steven, with Krystle holding him. They grabbed onto Farra, and their car flew off to the unknown.

Kim cried, "This is madness! We're falling sideways! We should be falling down! Is it because of the gravity?"

Krystle growled, "This is what Azusa told me… from back in 1987… 35 years… something Ritsu Tainaka planned to accomplish! The way to reach Heaven! This is Ritsu's power!"

Kim whispered, "I have a bad feeling about this, Krystle… The Priest said that it's a way to reach Heaven, but it could mean the beginning of the end. She's waiting for the New Moon, and it's a vital point in the gravitational area, and we have 14 hours left!"

Steven said, hanging on to a railing, "The Visitor's Center is still in one piece. Let's climb the guard rail, and head up there!" Farra barked, "You do that." She flew upwards, "Beat you to it!"

Krystle asked, "Wait… Can't she fly us there?"

Steven said, "It's too risky. All five of us cannot make it at this weight. Farra will fly us there, but the rest of us, we'll climb for it. Krystle, are you sure The Priest is already there?"

"Positive."

"Then lead the way!"

She climbed up and said, "This is it… Everything ends today. My mind is made up!"

He thought, as Krystle was climbing, "Steven Cooke sees it, like her brother… Your face has that stare facing the distance. That determination."

Krystle called, "Kim! Jace! Let's go!"

They joined in, as they were all climbing. Steven said, "Right now, your heart is focused on the Priest. At the same time, you're hoping Peter will come. But he's not here, neither is Asahi… So, I'm going to protect her for you, Peter."

He climbed up, about to reach the top.

Episode 14 – Chapter 7: (One Final Battle: Part 7)
C-Moon!
The Revival of Gravity!

Ritsu was perched on a poster of the moon, as she was floating around.

"In the beginning of all matter, there was gravity." Ritsu was floating on the wall, "Even this round earth of ours was brought into reality with gravity! And with its gravitational pull, the Earth continues to travel around the sun! The question on Earth right now is "Where On Earth am I headed now?" WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?" A greenish Stand emerged from her and called, "Within my body and spirit lies the existence of gravity! And with it, it shall also exist at the end of the world!"

XXXXX

Two women were hanging onto the railing, as they were screaming for their lives. Farra flew up and saw them, as Krystle and Kim made it to the top. Krystle said, "They won't make it, at this rate."

Kim said, "It's still intact, but… I don't see any rescue units here."

Farra flew off and said, "Sorry, I got this one. Cannot leave a civilian in danger. Steven!"

Steven called, "I'll watch over them, make sure they find a place down below… or up here…"

She stated, "Easy for you to say! This fucking place is tilted! Besides, you guys don't need me for the priest. Save some of her for me, and stay away from Pale Snake's new ability!"

She flew off to save the two women, as he said, "Same ol' Farra. She never leaves a casualty behind."

Krystle, Kim, & Steven made it to the top, as Jace said, looking around, "I see the visitor center… and the ticket booth. My god, Jace Be in a bizarre shitty labyrinthian staircase maze painting! Oh, yeah, it's Relativity by MC Escher." He was standing near the booth, with his feet on the side. Everyone was standing, as the entire area was tilted to the side. "Remind me never to try and get into jail again, just for Kim… I've seen enough."

Krystle looked around, and then a figure appeared from behind her. It was walking on the floor, as it has a greenish texture. It attacked her, and she cried, "WHAT THE–?" She blocked it and cried, "PALE SNAKE!" She then asked, "Huh?"

SLAM!
Her arm fell to the ground, as it was sinking. She stared at the Stand and gasped, "Wait… That's… That's Pale Snake… only she's… Wait, that greenish tone. THAT'S THE BABY!"

Kim gasped, "A baby?! What are you saying?"

Steven said, "No, she's right! That green baby Krystle and Jace found, it must've fused with Pale Snake, after Ritsu took it!"

Kim cried, "Are you saying it evolved?"

Suddenly, her hand squelched, and it slowly turned inside out. "WHAT THE HELL?"

The Stand spoke, "I came to finish you off… Krystle Giese. You and your friends… will fall." It leapt up to a parkour onto the ground, "If you won't wait until 14 hours, then…"

Krystle cried, "My arm's turning inside out!"

The Stand hissed, turning to Kim. It said, "So, you must be the stragglers that tried to ruin our plans. Jason Brighton and Steven Cooke, two of the people that tried to stop us… but you… Kim Cheonsa, was it? You helped interfere with The Gang's heroics… for the last time!"

Krystle cried, "Kim, get behind Steven! QUICK!" He launched at her, and Krystle used Stone Wind to fight back. It leapt around the metal booth, where they were standing, as Kim cried, "Krystle… I'm scared…"

Steven was hanging onto the floor, as Krystle & Kim were on the box. Krystle's hair strands suddenly turned inside out, as did Kim's right shoe. Kim gasped, "Ah! My shoe! What in the world? What kind of Stand does that to an object? My shoe, and Krystle's hair…" She saw the metallic handle slowly rip away, as she cried, "We have to get away from that Stand! That guy can touch objects and turn them inside out. This Stand must be related to gravity!"

The Stand appeared towards Steven, as it said, "I shall eliminate Krysyle Giese, first… You will be next."

Kim said, "This is her doing! Ritsu may have evolved Pale Snake into breaking gravity! All matter, including the Earth and apples are affected by gravity. Gravity attracts matter towards the center of mass! It's the Cosmic Law of Gravity. But this Stand's ability is able to alter gravity and change its direction! Anything it touches turns you inside out!"

Krystle said, "It all makes sense! Ritsu is using this ability in the weak gravity here to control it! That's why she made it here!"

Steven called, "Krystle! Kim! It's coming at you again!"

"Protect Kim!" She threw Kim to Steven, and he caught her. He punched the ground, and hung on. She called out, "This bitch is mine! She wants me!"

The Stand reemerged from the steel plating, and launched punches at her. But she avoided each strike. Krystle landed a kick to the face, and then it struck on her leg. Her left leg suddenly contorted.

Steven cried, "Dammit! Krystle was wide open!"

"Yes, I was… that was the plan." She said, as her body was slowly regaining shape, "I wasn't meant to get caught in his trap. Instead, I let him strike me in the same area again. If I get hit, I turn inside out, but if I get hit again, it negates its ability and I revert back to right side in. In and out, head to toe…" She posed, as she glared at the Stand, "Come and get me, asshole!"

She stitched herself up and said, "Since I'm back to normal, I should repair myself… But I know one thing, every blow I make, it'll damage the Stand. So, I have to stall for time, and stop this thing!"

Steven called, "We have no time to waste. Kim, climb up to the guardrails! This is Krystle's fight. Not ours."

"O-Okay…"

The Stand posed, as Krystle prepared to fight, "Good fucking grief…" They fought, as they traded blows. Krystle avoided the punches, and struck down. It swept her off her feet, but she tripped and fell below. She hung onto the steel corner and hung on tight. The plating started to peel off and fall, and Krystle grabbed onto the steel beam.

"I already turned the ticket box inside out!" It called out. Krystle was caught with her ankle trapped in a curled piece of metal. The Stand fought, and they each missed each other.

"I thought this was some automatic Stand…" Krystle thought, "It's too accurate. He's going after my head and chest now, aiming at my vitals." She looked up and said, "She's probably hiding. So that means, it's a remote-controlled Stand from a distance. I assume she's hiding, but watching us. She's still close to us."

Jace roared, as he jumped up, "Johnny B BAAAAADD!" He was lambasted by three tiles, as it called, "Don't interfere."

He fell below, as it said, "I'm killing Krystle Giese, first. You'd be in the way."

Krystle unraveled herself, "JACE!" She used her Stand to catch Jason, and then wrap the neck of the Stand. It started to choke, as Jace hung on, "How many times must I be saved?"

Krystle called, "Thanks for the assist, Jace, but this is my fight. You might be able to help, but for now, don't let go! Your weight is enough to choke out the Stand! It's powerless!" She called, "I'll dive in and finish it off!"

Kim cried, "NO! YOU CAN'T!"

Steven yelled, "It may break out of the string, if you do! Believe me, if you dive in, you'll let that thing free itself, and even drop Jace to down below god knows where!"

Krystle stated, "You forget that this beast is after me only! I'm at fault for what happened to Peter! I owe him everything to save him!"

Steven said, "Okay, think twice about what you just said! If that thing somehow touches a fingertip to your string, it may go inside out. There's a chance you and Jace will fall to certain death!"

Krystle cried, "BUT I CAME THIS CLOSE TO TRY!" The Stand grabbed the rope, as Kim yelled, "HE GRABBED IT!"

Steven thought, "She's not listening. No matter how hard she tries, she never listens!"

The string started to unravel, as Krystle whispered, "I still have time… I have to end this!"

Kim said, "This is too risky… It's getting close to her arm! It'll be shredded!"

Jace growled, "Not on my watch! HIYAH!" He punched the rope, and it phased through. It absorbed him, and his right arm was shredded a bit, "Sorry, Krystle… but I let Johnny B Badd take the bullet. We have a chance to take it down, together!" Krystle punched down, but it ducked.

Ritsu appeared, as she was walking on the ground, "After all that, you have found me, let alone your sacrifice will be in vain… as in how Mary, Mother of Jesus, lost her son, fated to be crucified. You were fated for this… To achieve happiness and good nature, humans must bear this curse, and overcome fate! This is the trial that MIO and I overcame, facing The Gang AND the damned The Nevins Family!"

"The Priest!" Kim cried.

Jace growled, "That bitch! What is she doing?"

Steven barked, "She was here this whole time!"

"Now, the time has come to retrieve my Stand, which is undergoing its evolution." Ritsu reached for her, but Krystle punched her away. It bounced off her, as Ritsu smirked, "Foolish girl."

Krystle was floating away, "What the–?"

"I am the center of all things gravity… My body is that of the gravitational center." Ritsu said, "The area goes into reverse, wherever I stand on my feet. The closer you come to me, the stronger the gravitational pull gets. All that is left is to leave you to your demise, while I watch and wait for my ability to evolve. It'll be enough time, not to gain full power, as it is now."

Kim cried out, "Jace, pull the rope! Pull her up!" Jace called, "I'm trying! This damn thing's stuck!"

Ritsu went to her Stand, "You've done enough. I said to punch her ONCE, and only ONCE, which is what you need to do. The attack to her vital area is more devastating than to her arms and legs. One single punch will do."

KAPOW!
The Stand punched at Krystle's chest, and she plummeted into the air, contorting herself.

"KRYSTLE!" Kim shrieked.

Ritsu stated, "I shall name this Stand, C-Moon II, in homage to the original. I gained invincibility, thanks to the powers of the New Moon. But my true goal does not lie within strength. I shall only rely on the pursuit of happiness to others… Krystle Giese is but a sacrifice, as do the others that were sacrificed in the prison. To achieve this, sacrifice must be enacted."

Kim was crying, as Jace growled, "You bitch… I can't believe it… Krystle…" he seethed.

Suddenly, Kim's phone rang, as she asked, "At a time like this? Hm? Oh, it's a text. But who got my address?" She opened the text and read:
"My calls aren't going through, so it must mean the gravitational pull is strong that the satellite is sent out of orbit.
Are you Kim? I don't have time to explain or ask what goes on, but I believe that my sister and the priest have met."

Kim asked, "Sister?"

"Krystle's alive, but she's not safe. Are Steven and Farra with you?
Protect her, just until I arrive. That's all I ask. She discovered how to counter her gravity, and she somehow survived.
She's alive, but barely.
Peter Giese."

Kim gasped, "What? P-Peter Giese? Wait… That's Krystle's…" She called, but stopped, "No… I can't. If I call out to the others, Ritsu may attack us again… and get the jump on Krystle… but where?"

Jace asked, "WELL, WHAT WAS IT? Why did you stop and look at your phone?"

"Nothing! Just spam!" Kim cried, "Just help me get to Steven!"

Steven called, "What's going on?"

Ritsu rushed into the center, as she was furious. Kim explained, "Krystle's still alive! She somehow survived, but… I think Ritsu already knows!"

"WHAT? She's alive?" Jace cried.

Ritsu snarled, "Krystle's corpse is inside-out, thanks to C-Moon! Impossible! How can I sense her now? The gravity should've imploded her heart, inside! SO WHY? HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" She seethed, "This ends now! She may be a Joestar, but they've overcome before! And I'll end them, before it even starts again! The Gang will not overcome me; likewise the entire Joestar Bloodline!"

Steven leapt up and cried, "COME ON!" He dashed upwards, as Jace & Kim followed. Kim cried, "Where are we going?" Steven said, "We're stopping that bitch! Make sure she doesn't kill Krystle!" They went upwards, as he thought, "I don't know what goes on here, but Farra better hurry… or we're all screwed!"

They headed up, as Ritsu went off to find Krystle. She thought, "I'm well aware that she doesn't have the ability to move her body… But why is she still alive? How did I miss her vital points? They were dead-on! This is the blood of The Joestars, made by that damned Jotaro Kujo! Is this why they hindered my plans?"

She arrived at a huge space shuttle, with corpses strewn around. They were the visitors that were caught in Ritsu's gravitational force. "In order to truly end this, she and I have to face each other, one final time. All the times Krystle interfered with me, within the prison in Orlando, have been tests on my path moving forward!" She walked forward and said, "I know I can do this… I'm Ritsu Tainaka. I'm the one who walks the path of fate on my side. MIO & I will succeed. Our plan goes beyond petty feelings for justice. Not a soul in the world is capable of getting in our way. It's simply inconceivable."

A man pleaded for help, but Ritsu ignored him. "It is close. I can feel it. Only 14:14 to go. Krystle Giese's there, and I have to finish her."

She saw a building, as Steven confronted her from behind. "Hey."

Ritsu turned to him, "Go away. You don't belong here. You don't even pose a threat to me."

"Wrong. Steven Cooke believes your words, but when you mess with Krystle Giese, you mess with Peter… and in turn, you mess with The Gang."

POW!
C-Moon punched Steven, and his face turned into a man's face. Ritsu cried, "C-MOON! TURN BACK! THAT'S NOT STEVEN COOKE!" Teeth shot at her, but C-Moon blocked it. Ritsu yelled, "What the hell?" It sliced onto her shoulder, as Steven appeared from the shadows. He said, "Sorry, but Divine Moon can see through your C-Moon Jr., at ease. The person you thought was me, he was one of the tourists that died from your gravity ability."

Ritsu gasped, and he bellowed, "Go ahead and use your C-Moon on me! It doesn't change the fact that I want your head! Divine Moon!" His aura built up to a dark blue aura and roared, "WAAAAAAAH-TAAA!"

He landed a punch, but Ritsu's head shriveled up. He gasped, as C-Moon reappeared, and Ritsu's head reverted to normal.

"To me, your significance is even less than Sun Wukong, the ancient Chinese God of Myth, as he bounced around in Buddha's hand." C-Moon launched a punch at him, but Steven flew up, landing to a pole.

Ritsu was grabbed by a lone hand. It was Krystle, as she said, "Surprise."

C-Moon was focused on Steven that Krystle retreated. Ritsu gasped in shock, "No… It's… It can't be! That hand, it was Krystle Giese's hand! Why the hell is she here?" She saw a trail of blood and said, "Blood? This is where her path leads. And my gut instinct says that she is inside. I must pursue her, and end her life, permanently!"

She walked in, as it was a cafeteria, only upside-down. Ritsu said, "I have no doubt that Jace Brighton or Farra Stevens will arrive at any moment. Peter Giese's too slow to arrive, anyways… and it'd be a real nuisance if Steven Cooke tries again with his Standless abilities."

Kim climbed up, as she and Jace waited. "So, what now? Steven Cooke failed… so it's up to us."

Jace asked, "Wait… I'm lost. Why are you determined? What did you freak out over the phone?"

They waited, as Ritsu said, "Everyone is gathering, even though they have 14 hours left… What is the most reclusive place to gather, just to perish here? They all believe in you, but your heart will shatter completely by now." She grabbed a bottle of ethyl and said, "Soon, the Giese Family will lose a daughter. This should be enough to strip Peter Giese of his reason to live. He and The Gang will no longer be a threat to MIO or myself!"

She opened the bottle, and ethyl splattered all over the place, as it was falling up. Ritsu jumped up and gathered the ethyl onto the floors and walls. She lit the fluid and it ignited.

"SHOW YOURSELF, KRYSTLE GIESE! YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME ANYMORE!" She yelled out. She was grabbed by the ankles, and she cried, "THERE YOU ARE!" C-Moon punched at the grate, but Krystle vanished. "She… SHE WAS HERE–!"

She was slammed down onto the table, as she gagged, "GAUGH!" She was being strangled, as she cried, "I am going to devote my entire being to snuffing your life, right here! I already know you have a fatal injury! But I control gravity! Observe, the flames from above! Whenever my feet fall, everything falls toward me!" She let go, as she roared, "C-MOON!" It jabbed onto her wrists. Her arms contorted, as Ritsu yelled, "THERE! Your arms as good as gone! Now you're finished!"

Her string returned, and performed a huge figure 8 on each arm, made of string. Ritsu gasped, as Krystle emerged. "I destroyed her arms… She is no longer with arms, as they are inverted! But still, what in the world did I just see in her arms and fingers?"

Krystle was shown with an 8 on her chest. Ritsu gasped, "What the–? That shape… Her heart is destroyed, but… that chest there… What's that shape?"

Stone Wind and C-Moon clashed. C-Moon hit her neck, and Krystle produced another 8 onto her neck. Ritsu gasped, "I get it now… That's no Figure 8… It's a Mobius Strip!" Krystle was coated with Mobius Strips, as Ritsu explained, "I get it now… That's why C-Moon didn't kill her. She created a Mobius Strip! This shape… It's known as the Band of Infinity. The moment that C-Moon finally ended her, she used her Stand to create a way to live!"

She prepared, "When someone eats a bad mushroom, they are still alive. What happens? Was it just some lucky fool that ate it, or was it a final act of desperation that, fueled by hunger, it spurred this discovery?" She hopped around, as the entire room was slowly turning. She scoffed, as she huffed, "Let's test the theory. Your brain is what makes you live on! SO THAT'S WHERE C-MOON WILL AIM!"

C-Moon lambasted Krystle with a barrage of punches. But her body produced Mobius Strips. Ritsu growled, "I thought so! Even when I assault you, you still live! But only ONE blow to the skull is all it takes to permanently end you."

"If you're coming at me, give me your all, until the very end." Krystle called.

"Actually, I'm biding my time for the perfect moment." Ritsu said, as she was on the ceiling. "To assure my survival, I have to observe you. Waiting at the moment that will lead to victory is all I needed. I'll just keep walking around you, until it happens. Maybe through this method of pacing, the gravitational pull will fling random objects to me, as I wait. Do you see it now? Even with the wounds and various Mobius Strips, it changes not of your imminent end." She saw the corpse of the security guard and cried, "YES! THAT'S THE MOMENT! The gun from the security guard's corpse!" She grabbed the gun and cocked it, "NOW!"

Jace & Kim arrived too late, as Steven yelled, "KRYSTLE!"

Ritsu aimed as she thought, "Four bullets… Aim at the head… Make a Mobius Strip with THIS!"

Kim suddenly fell off, and Steven grabbed her. Kim shrieked, "KRYSTLE, NO!" Steven yelled, "MOVE, DAMMIT!"

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The four bullets went to Krystle's head, and–
WHOOSH!
A lone hand appeared and grabbed her. The bullets missed, and Ritsu gasped. She hopped down and saw a harpoon, lodged in the grating. She gasped, "What the–? How did a harpoo–?"

POW!
"ORAAAAAAAAAA!" Peter appeared with Darkness Devil, as his Spirit lambasted her. He held Krystle in his arms, as Ritsu gasped, "YOU!"

SMASH!
Darkness Devil lambasted her through the steel door. Her body was caught in the framing, with glass everywhere.

"You can thank the Speedwagon Foundation for that. We fired that spear from three kilometers up, and managed to hit the ground here in the Visitor's Center." It was Farra, "Jace Brighton's Johnny Be Badd has this ability to clone objects, likewise Smack. And as long as I hold this Spear, I arrive fast enough. Wing span gave out, so this is the only way to travel. Still, we arrived right on cue, right, Big Guy?"

Ritsu gasped, "Bi–? No…"

Peter smirked, "Gimme a break, Farra." Krystle moaned, "Brother…"

Ritsu snarled, "No… Peter Giese & Farra Stevens made it in the last second… That was my moment!"

Steven appeared and smirked, "Welcome back, big man." They surrounded her, as Kim said, "The idea of your Stand to reach 14 hours in its completed state is now just a fantasy! You're out of allies, out of moments, and you're out of chances! Your little game is over!"

Steven said, "We have no choice… God won't forgive you… neither do we. GANG! LET'S FINISH THIS!"

Ritsu grinned, "You're all wrong… YOU'RE EXACTLY WRONG!" She crawled to the steel framing and said, "Fate… it appears… has given me a handicap…" She hit her head and moaned, "And it serves me with one final test to prove my worthiness! What I thought was a hindrance became exactly what I needed! In the end, The Gang actually helped me succeed! When you threw my body into this frame, I saw the truth! When Father Pucci achieved Heaven, the Kujos were his allies! The Gang, as a whole, ARE MY ALLIES!"

The steel plating flew off, as Jace cried, "The damn priest is floating into the sky!"

Ritsu was stuck in the door's metal frame, and she was drifting away. Steven cried, "SHE'S GETTING AWAY!" Farra jeered, "Let her! She can die in the vacuum of space!"

Ritsu called out, "You're wrong! As I said before, gravity is working for me as my center!" She was astonished, "I understood everything now, MIO! This changes everything! I no longer have to wait for the New Moon in 14 hours! If what I learn is correct, I'll be able to control the Gravitational Force to the New Moon! All I have to do is stay afloat! And when I do, I'll find the exact gravitational conditions! And from there, I'll have found it – the spot of the same pull where the New Moon occurs! In order for C-Moon to evolve further, there must be an optimal position to activate it!"

"LIKE HELL YOU WILL!" Farra roared, running after her, floating with her wings, "FORGOT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE? I have no idea what bullshit you're spouting, but it's over for you, Ritsu!"

Ritsu shut her eyes and said, "Relax…. Calm your mind. Count your prime numbers, and you'll make it. 13… 17…"

Jace growled, "What the fuck is she doing? Bitch Priest is mumbling something…"

Kim cried, "Her gravity hasn't changed yet! We're still slipping parallel to the ground!"

Peter called, "Hey, Brighton, look at the ground!" Jace saw a gun, and Peter said, "Grab that gun over there!"

Jace crawled to the gun and said, "Right. Jace Be giving the miracle play. She must've dropped it, after Giese arrived."

Peter said to Krystle, as he smiled, "You've grown so much, Sis…" They hugged, as Krystle smiled, "Peter…" He said, "Hang on the guard railing. We got this." He called out, "Okay! Brighton! Open fire! Aim at the Priest!"

Jace fired the gun, and Ritsu cried out, as the bullets headed to her, "C-MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"

C-Moon emerged, as Peter called, "MY TURN! NANTO! THE WORLD! – STOP TIME!" Time halted, as Peter went forward. He grabbed onto a harpoon and said, "Excellent… This is where you perish, Tainaka." he saw the bullets, and Ritsu was about to deflect them. He concluded, "Should've guessed you'd use your Stand to stop the bullets. My Time Stop can last five seconds. You won't be seeing this coming at ya, huh?"

He threw the harpoon straight to her neck, but it halted towards her neck. He said, "Three seconds, and it's all over. Once time restarts, that harpoon goes right at your jugular. Three… Two… One…" Ritsu's eyes suddenly looked down, as Peter called out, "TIME START AGAIN! RETURN TIME!"

Time restarted, and C-Moon deflected the bullets. But…
"GAAAAAAAAAH!"
Ritsu was hit with the harpoon, but she flew upwards. Farra cheered, "YEAH! WE GOT HER!"

Peter said, "No… I missed." They gasped, "For some reason, during my time stop, she somehow avoided it."

Kim cried, "GUYS! LOOK! She's on the shuttle!"

Ritsu climbed onto the space shuttle, and went to the door. "What on earth is she doing? She's opening the hatch!" Jace yelled. "And now that shuttle is floating away, too!"

Farra flew up and cried, "NOT ON MY WATCH! HYAH!" She soared upwards, chasing after Ritsu. She was at the shuttle, hanging onto the hatch doorway.

"She dodged the harpoon?" Steven asked, "How did it happen? Peter and I have the same power, yet her body did not feel it…" Krystle whispered, "Guys! I don't think she's trying to get away! Damn! Not only is she getting away, she's… No… She wouldn't! Did she actually use the Time Stop at her advantage? Is she using this power to find the missing element to complete her ability?!"

Ritsu was hovering inside the shuttle, and she said, as she laughed, "All this time, just now, The Gang has completed their mission! You were the ones lending me aid, all along! My allies were you! All you did was make me achieve Heaven!
Our Father, who art in Heaven, I beseech you to lead and guide me! I ask you to please watch over me, so I shall not stray down the wrong path! It is your very will that I dedicate myself unto thee!
Yes… I can feel it!"

Her body started to shoot out streams of light. She screamed, "THE COORDINATES! I'M HERE!"
