Chapter 3: FIVE COPTER DEATH STRIKE!

"And they say when he only realized it, when he had the eyeball right at his hand." Tamami continued to tell his terrifying tale, "When the Doctors asked him why he did it, and he said that he had no idea at all."

The Con Man Stand User told this story to his hero, Lord Koichi and his two annoying yet intimidating friends Josuke and Keicho. He was only concerned for his Lord Koichi of course, the other two, to him, just happened to be there. He only wanted to tell his hero!

"And you're saying that this Hazamada guy had something to do with it." Josuke asked trying to piece the mystery together.

Tamami nodded anyway, "You see, the two were good friends until they had some argument about some idol or anime earlier this year." He waved his hand, not really caring about the backstory behind the argument. He then showed the picture of the potential culprit to that grossed out tale, "Hazamada Toshikazu, 3rd Year Class A. This was a picture of him from last year. But I managed to get a hold of it."

"Hmmm..." The Stand Users looked at the photo. Hazamada, despite being 3rd Year looked short in stature. He had shoulder length hair that he was moving behind his ear in the photo. He looked like he was glaring at someone menacingly, and his dark purple eyeshadow enhanced the look. He wore a modified school uniform with belts arranged in a neat row in the middle of his chest.

"Recognize him, Keicho?" Josuke asked the guy who had fired the Arrow to the residents of Morioh.

"Yeah..." The older teen nodded, "I shot him with the Arrow."

"What?!" Koichi was startled by this revelation, "So he really is a Stand User!"

Keicho simply shrugged. He was not fazed at all; he simply did not care for it either.

"Well we still gotta look for this guy anyway. Hopefully he won't be a threat to any of us." Josuke concluded as he turned around to head to the school. "Let's start looking at the 3rd year classrooms during lunch break, and then continue on after classes." Keicho nodded and followed suit.

"Of course Josuke!" Koichi agreed.

Hearing of their plan, Tamami became incredibly worried for his hero. "Wait a sec, Lord Koichi! Are you really gonna go there? I dunno what his power is, but he made a kid lose an eyeball." He pointed at his own eye for emphasis.

Koichi still shuddered at that thought, then he steeled himself and replied, "I... I know that but…"He stuttered but continued, "If he is as dangerous as you say. Then we got to do something about it. I mean, I still have to protect this town and my mom and sister too! It's scary… but that's the only way!" He said his farewells to the older man and dashed off to catch up with his two friends.

Tamami was flabbergasted and very humbled by the response, "Wow!" He exclaimed as he tried to hold back his tears, "Incredible! As expected from someone I started to look up to! But..." He started to walk away, bowing, "Well I still got business to do!" He walked further away, "I hope we can hang out again someday!" He continued to walk farther, "I wish you good luck on that Lord Koichi!" He began to run away as far from the danger as he could.

The trio's search around the school for one Hazamada Toshikazu turned into a failure as they looked around all of the 3rd year classes and found no sign of the guy. They searched the lab rooms, home ec rooms, gyms, etc… but it was no avail. Keicho eventually split from the group as a way to cover more ground. He even gave plenty of promises not to hurt or threaten anyone, even Hazamada, and if he did find him, that they're to meet in front of the school.

When Keicho was out of their range, Josuke leaned close to Koichi and said, "You know… the way Keicho is acting…" He looked up again, hoping the older teen wasn't nearby then spoke "Do you think Hazamada could be Red Hot Chilli Pepper's User?"

Koichi stayed silent for a moment. He became worried as if this was true, Keicho might go back to who he was before. "I… I don't know Josuke…" he muttered, "I truly hope not…"

Knowing his friend was worried, Josuke responded, "Then we gotta find him soon before he does." Koichi looked at him, surprised, "In that way we could all get what we want."

The smaller teen nodded, "Then we should check their lockers! He might just be leaving school."

The two nodded in agreement and headed off to the school lockers.

It wasn't long after Keicho had just left the music rooms, when he saw Koichi and Josuke leaving the school seemingly in a hurry.

Already deduced that they must have encountered Hazamada, he dashed towards the stairs and nearly bumped to a classmate of his who was busy staring outside the window to notice. He got out of the building and saw his two friends over by the pay phone. He sprinted towards the two.

"Josuke! Koichi!" He called their attention, "What's wrong? Did you guys get Hazamada?"

"Keicho!" Koichi turned to see his friend coming towards them, "It's gotten worse! Hazamada is going after Mr. Jotaro now!"

"And he just left too…." Josuke added while hanging up the phone, frustrated, "We should hurry up and get to Hazamada and Surface before they get to him!"

"What happened?!"

Koichi went to explain the situation about Hazamada and about his Stand, Surface. The trio continued to search for them outside the school and soon to the main districts of Morioh.

Their search came to a close as they saw Surface (Still disguised as Josuke) bashed one of the bikers, who made fun of Hazamada, in the head. Then the Stand proceeded to restrain the other by holding his arms behind him. Hazamada quickly brought out his box cutter and proceeded to threaten the frightened biker by placing the exposed blade inside his mouth.

The real Josuke then threw a glass shard towards the enemy Stand User. Surface had caught it before it was even close to its Master.

Things immediately became worse for Hazamada as the two he thought he eliminated are there and actually well. "Higashikata Josuke! Hirose Koichi! And even Nijimura Keicho huh?" Hazamada growled as he just realized that he's almost cornered. He faced his Stand again and commanded him, "Surface! Drop the guy and let's go!"

Following his master's command, Surface let go of the biker. When the real Josuke taunted the Stand User and the Stand, "Uh huh, I don't think that will do you any good!"

As Surface was about to let go of the shard, glass pieces started to come to his hand. With Crazy Diamond's powers, the shards formed back into a bottle, breaking its hand, and transforming it back into wood. Surface started to panic as it picked up the glass bottle.

"That should do it!" Josuke was glad his plan worked. He then grabbed Koichi and Keicho to the next street to hide. "C'mon here you two!"

Keicho observed the situation, "So that's Surface then… The Stand Copy."

"Yeah…" Koichi nodded, "He looks almost exactly like Josuke… It's uncanny."

Josuke peered from the side of the building to see Hazamada gesturing Surface to hurry it up. The two quickly left the scene with Surface's broken hand in its pocket and left the two bikers bleeding at the sidewalk. Josuke rushed in to their aid and two eventually followed him.

"And that's why Josuke and I are heading to the train station now!" Koichi finished his explanation as Josuke healed the two bikers. Koichi turned to see that the two were reaching the railways. He quickly alarmed his two friends. "We shouldn't stand around here! We have to hurry before Hazamada and Surface get to Mr. Jotaro first!"

Crazy Diamond disappeared as the bikers' injuries healed up, "That should do it. So Keicho, did you already get what I mean?" Then he turned to Keicho, giving him a sly smile.

"In that case..." Keicho grinned as he got the gist of Josuke's plan, "This is where we need you Koichi!" he said he slung his arm around his smaller friend.

The smaller teen tilted his head in wonder, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Further away from the trio, Hazamada and Surface rushed hopefully to cross the train tracks. But hearing the train's noise got the Stand's attention and announced to his user, "Hey Hazamada! The train's coming!"

Hazamada gritted his teeth in frustration, "Damn... The trains here take their time in coming and going..." So he gestures his stand to follow him up to the overpass, "The overpass should be quickest way then, come on!" Then the two hurried up the stairs. But as they crossed the overpass they realized that the noises kept on going but no train has passed by, in fact the people and other vehicles are passing by with no problems. And eventually the trio they were trying to outrun, dashed by, crossing the tracks, and now they were first in their race.

"What the hell?!" Hazamada was baffled, "They just passed through the railroad crossing! Where's the train? Why did that alarm go off then?!"

It was Koichi's stand Echoes that had planted the train's sounds on the tracks making the two think the train was passing without second guessing.

Realizing he had been tricked, Hazamada thought of another plan to get Josuke for good. He sped outside the overpass and went to hide inside the station's building.

In the meantime, the three had finally caught up to Kujo Jotaro, who was at the bench reading a newspaper.

"We... Made... It!" Koichi said as they all tried to catch their breath. "All right! We got… whew... Hazamada good! Didn't we... Josuke?!"

"What's wrong?" Jotaro got concerned, "Did something happen?"

"Mr. Jotaro..." Keicho started to explain "That... wasn't Josuke who called... whew..." He wiped the sweat off his forehead, "It was a Stand copy!"

"A... Stand Copy?"

"Yeah..."Josuke replied, "He looked exactly like me, Seriously... I couldn't tell myself apart from the same thing..."

"But at least we made it here to tell you!" Koichi was relieved, "Now you're safe!"

"Now that Hazamada bastard should be here anytime now..." Keicho, caught his breath, stood up straight, and turned around back and forth hoping to catch the enemy.

As Josuke explained to Jotaro how to spot the fake, he unknowingly reached out to the marine biologist's coat pocket and grabbed a pen. Noticing this, Keicho quickly turned to the station's windows to see that the copy, Surface was looking directly at Josuke, moving its arm along with the pen he held. Josuke tried to break free from the spell but it was no use.

Unable to stand by anymore, Keicho dashed inside the station to catch Hazamada.

"Keicho!" Josuke cried out worried that he might do something rash.

Jotaro and Koichi turned to see what was going on, but they only saw Josuke struggling to move his arm while holding a pen.

"Mr. Jotaro! Koichi!" Josuke yelled, "Hazamada has me on his control. Keicho already headed in to stop him!"

Seeing the two facing Josuke now, Surface quickly turned to his master to warn him "Toshikazu!"

"Dammit!" Hazamada cursed, "Why did they have to turn back..." He then commanded his Stand, "Just do it Surface! Stab Jotaro already!"

"Alright!"

"Mr. Jotaro! Don't come any closer!" Josuke squirmed helplessly as he watched his controlled arm swing upwards bringing the pen right into Jotaro.

He suddenly stopped; the pen flew off his hands, just lightly bumping at Jotaro's chest in the process, though the biologist barely felt anything at all.

Looking down at the fallen pen, Jotaro remained his usual stoic face. But he was actually confused on the situation. "What was that?"

Hazamada was bashed in the head by one of the bikers. Causing the smaller teen to bleed badly and lose control of his Stand thus it left the wooden mannequin, reverted it back to its old state.

"There ya are!" One of the bikers said, "That Josuke kid was right. You were coming from the overpass!"

"Now its payback time ya brat!" The other biker cracked his knuckles ready to beat Hazamada up.

Hazamada backed up against the wall bracing for a beating of a lifetime. Just then he saw a group of foot soldiers surrounding him and some was climbing up on his uniform. He screamed in fear, realizing whose stand this is.

"Bad Company!" Keicho commanded, "Keep him steady."

The soldiers pointed their miniature guns at him.

Then one of the bikers grabbed Keicho by the shoulder, "Hey! What the hell are you doing you brat! We have a score to settle with him!"

"Shut up!" Keicho yelled at them as he turned his head glaring at him... One of the soldiers quickly fired and shot directly at the biker's foot.

"WAAAAHHH!" the biker yelped as he fell on the floor grasping his shot foot. "My… my foot! What the hell… did he just shoot me?!"

His friend tried to help him but was just as scared.

Seeing the whole situation, Hazamada backed up against the wall, knowing what's to come as Keicho turned to face him. "Ni-ni-Nijimura Keicho!"

"Hazamada Toshikazu…" Keicho said as if he replied to his stutters "Do you have any idea what you have done…?" Glaring at the Surface Master, his soldiers raised their rifles ready to fire at the command.

"Wait wait!" Hazamada pleaded crying, "Don't… don't kill me please! That…. That electric stand just told me to kill Kujo Jotaro!"

"Electric Stand…. You mean Red Hot Chilli Pepper right?"

Hazamada nodded.

"But there's still the matter of using Josuke to do it…" Keicho wouldn't forget that, "Hurting Koichi and nearly killing them both too…." He then took another step closer, "So… do you think, pleading for your life would change anything?!" Bad Company then changed form into five helicopters. Two positioned on both sides of Keicho and one directly in the middle.

"FIVE COPTER….." the helicopters fired their missiles at Hazamada, "DEATH STRIKE!" And with that the helicopters followed the missiles as a set up for a Kamikaze attack.

Hazamada shrieked, cowering and covering his face.

Then….

"Star Platinum: The World!"

He opened his eyes to see he was pulled out of harm's way. To only realize that he was unceremoniously picked up by his uniform with Jotaro's Stand Star Platinum. With Josuke rushed in and punched Keicho straight into the face causing the strike to disappear before it hit.

"Why the hell did you do that Keicho?!" Josuke yelled at the older teen, "Who gives you the right to attack him like that!?"

"He was going to use your body to kill Mr. Jotaro!"

"That STILL doesn't give you the right, jackass!"

Star Platinum then laid down Hazamada on the floor as the paramedics rushed in on his aid and the bikers as well. When he was laid on the stretcher…

"Hey! I'm not done with you!" Keicho quickly reacted and turned and activated his Stand once again, only to be punched in the face once again by Star Platinum this time. It wasn't a strong punch but it was enough to knock him out.

The paramedics also came to his aid and brought him to the ambulance (much to Hazamada's pleas to not bring him there.)

"Heh, that's was fun!" Red Hot Chilli Pepper chuckled to itself. It stood at the top of a lamp post. It carried the bow and wore it across its body. It stood to watch the events unfold and couldn't help but laugh at the outcome. "But it's not like I lost anything anyway. So I'm gonna take my leave."

And with that, the electric stand disappeared into the post's wiring.

The Next Day….

"Say Koichi…" Josuke asked his small friend who was walking to school with him, "Do you know what happened to him? You know that con man that keeps following you as if you were his boss or something?"

"Hmm?" Koichi wondered then realized whom he was talking about, "Oh! You mean Tamami right?" He looked around the area but found no sight of the man, "I'm not really sure... I haven't seen him since he told us about Hazamada."

"He's probably trying to con someone somewhere." Keicho shrugged "At least he ain't bothering you anymore…"

"I hope he isn't" Koichi replied, "He said he has changed…"

Unbeknownst to any of them, Kobayashi Tamami was recently hospitalized. Surface whacked him in the head with a brick yesterday. But the trio never really bothered nor cared to ask how or why.

======TO BE CONTINUED======

FIVE COPTER DEATH STRIKE

A special kamikaze like attack that Keicho has made for his Stand, Bad Company.

It requires him to summon five of his Apache Helicopters to form into an X Formation in front of him.

The Helicopters then will fire all of its missiles then it joins in the clash remaining the same Formation until the target has been eliminated.

The strike itself actually does damage to Keicho but hasn't told anyone about it.
