As trouble in prison goes on, back in Obnubi, Hotaru confronted Asahi, with her Stand, named Magic Mirror.

"Like, you are in awe of my Stand?" Hotaru smirked, "Just as I was about to let you pass, you figured me out." She landed a huge right to Asahi's face. She stumbled down, as Hotaru giggled, "You think you can defeat me? You're wrong. I do hope you'd be enjoying hell… Thanks to me!"

She landed a swift right to her chest. Asahi flew to the wall and was badly hurt. She groaned, "Shit… What is she?"

Hotaru said, "That's what I love about my prey – Helpless and weak."

Asahi kneeled down and moaned, "I won't let you get away…"

She kipped up and landed a swift barrage, "Idol Diamond! Mecha Barrage!"

Hotaru stepped back and laughed, "You think those flimsy punches can stop me? MAGIC MIRROR!" She vanished, as Asahi looked around. She gasped, "She disappeared. Knowing her Stand, she may try to strike back. From all sides…"

She sensed Hotaru, and she struck down left from her. Asahi punched at her, but she shattered into glass. Hotaru landed a swift blow to the back, and Asahi goes down.

"See that? Fooled you, didn't I?" Hotaru said, as Magic Mirror appeared behind her, "All that, just to make you think I was after you. Clever, saying you'd think I attack on any side… but you forget… I can make illusions." She split into eight clones and said, "Like this…"

Asahi was trapped, as the room filled with smoke and glitter, as the Eight Hotarus laugh. "Smoke and mirrors, Asahi Sakurai. This is how we deal with those who dare to defy me… OMG, you're finished."

Asahi growled, "Little brat… She thinks she can beat me with her illusions?" She reached for her bracelet, but she paused, "No… If I try it, she may snatch it from me. Idol Diamond is my only choice."

Hotaru said, "Looks like you can't forward this to your friends. Anyone who stops Euphoria… DIES!"

All eight clones mugged at Asahi, as all of them were punching at her. Asahi roared, as she powered out of the barrage, "USHAAAAAAAAAAAA!" She landed barrages of punches to each clone, and Hotaru emerged from the right of her, after a full circle. She gasped, and Hotaru hit a massive kick to the face.

She stumbled down and Hotaru chuckled, "Impressed? You won't leave Obnubi alive."

Asahi was down, as she was badly hurt. She growled, "What'll I do? That damned woman is too much… How can I counter her Stand?"

Episode 12 - Chapter 3: The Magic Mirror and The Fiery Spirit!
Hotaru & Westwood Strikes!

Meanwhile, at the prison, Farra was preparing to fight Westwood, the guard with a bizarre power and huge muscle fetish. A kind of fetish of him, smashing people's vital parts and muscles.

"Okay, one round, and you're done for!" Farra called, "But when I win, my friend… Everyone goes back to their cell!"

"Believe me… Nothing can enjoy easing my pain, than wiping the blood all over YOU, Stevens! You have been close to FE40536, lately."

"Warden's orders. Moreover, she's like a bad pill, followed around, like a curse. But your scuffle is with me."

Krystle watched on, as she said, "She's defending me, only… She knows what goes on. I have to focus on the bone. Where did it go?"

He bellowed, "HEADS UP!" Farra ducked and landed a swift kick to his chest. She landed a striking kick combo to the face, and swung back with a left roundhouse. He blocked it, gripping her ankle. She flipped over and hit a dropkick to the stomach. She landed on one knee, and then waved her arms out. He stepped back and snarled, "Shit, she's good."

"I've got experience in me, Westwood. I'll be asking for your badge, ex-guard!"

"URK! Ex?!"

"You heard me! This brutality is punishable by termination! That guard you tied in a Melvin Knot? He's dead."

"So what? It's do or die! And I come out fighting, because I'm the strongest there is!"

He landed a swift palm strike to her chest. He roared, "UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" He dashed at her, and she leapt over him. She was behind him and said, "I've faced worse."

Krystle thought, "She knows it's a Stand User… I can feel it. The only way to win my freedom is to stop this guard. She's amazing… but this guy rubs me the wrong way. Nonetheless, I have to keep an eye out for that bone."

They resumed fighting, exchanging punches and kicks. They stepped back, as Farra saw muscles in his arms. "I can see them… So, this is what he's psyched about. They look brilliant and beautiful. But the way he moved, his agility and power may match Steven. And the way he moved, how can a human being sustain large wounds like that, and ignore the pain and fear, and still attack so viciously? I'd call him in, but this is my fight. This is for Krystle. All that muscle tone. It's like finding a weakness, before the next blow… The left leg." She viewed his left leg, "It's all bruised… that leg I attacked. He must be feeling this pain, like it was endurance. And from his face, the damage I dealt to him is murder."

One huge man throttled another, as he cried, "HEY, SHITSTAIN! You wanna tussle, come at me, bro!"

Farra griped, "YOU TWO! This is between me and him, you'll get your turn!"

Westwood roared, "GOTCHA!" A distracted Farra noticed the huge right, but she dodged and landed a savage barrage of kicks to the left leg. She posed and said, "Alright, continue!"

He launched a double fist punch, but she ducked and landed a spinning kick to the head. She landed an uppercut and barked, "Wanna take 2? Sure!" She hit another uppercut, and bellowed, "And the third hit will decapitate you!"

She landed a swift barrage of punches.
"ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA! ARAAAAAAAAAAA!" She landed one final blow, but Westwood countered it.

BLAST!
She got hit in the arm, gashing her upper arm. She screamed in pain, as Westwood was kneeling down. She groaned, "Fuck… That was deadly. How did he–?"

Krystle whispered, "Her arm… She was blown up! How the hell did he have known?"

A disc popped out, and was inserted back in. Farra glared, "I thought so… You're a Stand User, after all. I guess this means this place is full of Stands, eh?"

Krystle gasped, "What? Stand Users? My god… This place is a nuthouse! How did he attack her, without moving? What is his Stand?"

Farra burned her arm with her flames, and healed herself, "AGH! Remind me to have Chazz heal my arm, when I get back…"

Krystle asked, "Who's Chazz?" She called, "WAIT! You mean heal yourself? I know a friend that does. Trust me. She'll heal you, as how she healed me."

Farra nodded, "Swell. Introduce me to her."

"You already did." Krystle suggested E.E., who healed her gun wounds.

Westwood got up, as Farra snarled, "Not that I want to end his ass, but this guy's punches are that of a master's. Hokuto Shin Ken may be deadly, but whatever his power is, it's sure nuff bad. Steven will never believe me… but what is his power?"

"Is that all? That the best you got, bitch?" He barked, "Your flames… they are your ability. As a matter of fact, the fire inside you… They're the reason why you have such tenacity. But without the fire, you're nothing. You singed yourself to heal up the blood loss, but the damage was done. I can eviscerate you, within a millisecond."

Farra barked, "I'm not gonna answer your response. Just shut up and fight me, BIG MAN!"

She and Westwood continued to fight.

Back to Obnubi, Percival was finished with the repairs and said, "All finished. Cy, how do you feel?"

"Just fine…" Cy said, as she sat up.

"Good. I should assist Asahi, something about this imposter. Cy, you stay here and rest. I cannot let you get destroyed…"

"It's alright. I've done my job. Go to her." She hugged him and said, "Thanks for fixing me."

Percival smiled and stepped back, "Right. Just stay here and relax. Asahi needs my help."

He stepped out, as Cy held her hands to her chest and blushed, "Sir… Thank you…"

Percival arrived at the office, and he heard noises. Asahi landed on the wall, and Percival bust in. "FREEZE!"

He and Hotaru faced off, as Hotaru said, "Ahh… Percival Gaynes… Surprised?"

"You… Where's Zina?"

"You'll never see her again!"

Percival smirked, as he prepared to fight, "So… I take it that you're the imposter?"

Asahi groaned, "Yes… Be careful. Her Stand is evil. She can trick you."

He said, "A Stand User, too? I bet she's responsible for the gynoid dolls."

Hotaru said, "Nope. Just my partner. Bodhi Waves taken, and restored her energy. This is usually by her own Stand. But perhaps I said too much."

"You monster!" Asahi snarled, "What did you do to the others, like what happened to Zina AND the others?"

"I'm being helpful… but I would never take you alive. In fact, you won't leave alive." Hotaru shouted, as she charged at her, "MAGIC MIRROR, KILL HIM!"

He blocked the attack with his Stand, Gale Breaker, and barked, "Sorry, but I'm taking you in!"

"HIM, TOO?!" Hotaru gasped.

Percival landed a swift kick to the Stand, and Gale Breaker shot out cyclones at her, "TEMPEST HURRICANE!" Hotaru cried out, "You think… your winds… WILL STOP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? OKAY YEESSSSSS!" She spun the other way and cancelled his attack. She stopped and winked, "But not for long."

"What?" He gasped, "That was my strongest attack… She was able to stop the winds, going the other way."

Hotaru said, "Like, if you'd know about winds, you should know that if one tornado spins clockwise, the opposite of it is counter-clockwise. Whereas, my Magic Mirror can cancel out your tornadoes, because my abilities can reverse your power… And throw it BACK TO YOU!" She shot out tornadoes at him, but he blocked each shot.

"Is that your best?" He called, but Hotaru dashed forward and kicked him in the face. She tripped him down and stomped on his chest. But he rolled out of the way. He kneeled up and signaled, "Come on, you bitch!" He and Hotaru exchanged kicks, and she landed a backfist to the head. He landed a knee to her stomach, and she hit him with an elbow to the chest.

Asahi whispered, "They're going all-out at each other. This is getting good… But knowing Hotaru's Stand, she has the upper hand."

Asahi could only watch, as Percival was able to fight off Hotaru. But the battle was still going on.

Back at the prison, E.E. ran into Steven, who was heading downstairs.

"Oh, hey! You Steven Cooke?"

"E.E." he said, "Why are you here?"

She explained, "Krystle Giese is downstairs in the Ultra Security Prison Ward."

"I know." He said, as she gasped, "We put her down there, and we got the message from Kim. I thought about it, and decided to join in on her search."

E.E. smiled, "Great. I'll go with you. Kim told me to search the Punishment Ward, myself… but I never guessed that you'd help."

"Steven Cooke says no… because I'm no treasure hunter. That's why Farra is handling this matter. But she needs me, more than anyone else." He signaled, "Now, come on. We go together."

He and E.E. head to the Punishment Ward to help Krystle and Farra.

But all the while, down below, Farra was fighting Westwood, a deranged and violent guard. All Krystle would do, at this moment, is watch.

He ran to her, and Farra concentrated, "COME ON!" He swung a huge left at her, but she countered. Westwood landed a large left boot, and Farra ducked the attack. She countered with a double kick. He was sent flying, and saw a reddish figure inside him.

"Did I see that?" Krystle gasped.

Farra smirked, "Well, about time you showed up, Stand Guy." He charged at her, as she posed, closing her eyes, "Ho-Oh Siren Arts… I see now… Another of Pale Snake's goons. And I see that, this time, they're after me; i.e. The Gang! Meaning, Pale Snake knows of us." She avoided the huge right, and flashed off in a fiery aura. "If I can beat him, and then get the bone, we'll solve this matter, before it starts again!" He swiftly hit his left, and Farra exploded into flames. She appeared from behind him and said, "Fell for it! You used both your hands. Luckily, I can sense your attack, miles away." She threw her coat onto Westwood and barked, "But now, you're about to become a charred-broiled guard with burning muscles! Sunny Phoenix!" Her Spirit Caller emerged, and landed a barrage of punches. Farra hit a huge right kick to the skull.

Ho-Oh Phoenix Kick!

He crashed into the bars, and Farra smirked, "Now, let's put you in the fryer, FOR GOOD!" She landed a huge right, but…
SMASH!
She was struck on the thigh, severely. She screamed and landed on one knee. "AAGH! Dammit, not again!"

Krystle gasped, "That asshole… Just what is he? At this rate, Farra will lose! Is it the Stand? Who's doing this?"

He grabbed her in a sleeper hold and barked, "GOTCHA NOW, BLONDIE! I underestimated you, a low-level scumbag with that much firepower! You dared to make fun of me, when you're the real joke here! Nothing pisses me off more than being defied by show-off queens like you!" He clenched tight and roared, "Now you're gonna feel my anger! I'm gonna snap your fucking neck off, and I won't care, because I like it! You act nonchalant and high and mighty, and you treat me like a joke! Warden says that you set us straight, well, NO MORE! I'm standing up to you, you pissy little firebug, by snapping your fucking neck off! LET IT OUT!"

Farra looked up, as she saw the sky. She whispered, "What the–?" She saw flaming lights and gasped, "Are those…?"

Fiery meteors flew towards the ceiling window, and Farra gasped, "No way! WHAT IS HE DOING?"

She launched a punch, but she couldn't reach. "Lesson learned! My job as a guard is to restrain all and any inmates, every day! I do this for a living! At first glance, my right arm is free, but the point of this headlock is not to choke you into submission! I twisted your left shoulder! See that? When I pin you, your right shoulder is dead and you can't raise it! Try as you might, no one escapes my lock!"

He leapt over and pinned down Farra. She growled, "No… It's coming… Those fireballs…" Her aura was coated in flames, and Westwood was searing in pain, "NNNNGH! You can try, bitch! I WON'T LET GO!"

Farra growled, "His grip is loosening… But that means he cannot resist the fire. No one can." She saw them and cried, "NOW! I have to break free!"

She broke out, but one of the meteors grazed her left leg. The second one burnt to ashes, heading towards Westwood. Krystle said, "So that's his doing, huh?" She thought, "This guy can create and magnetize meteors falling towards his body, and towards his victims. This guy is messed up…"

Farra growled, "Almost had me. But just so you know… I'm dying hard."

"This is kinda crazy." Westwood said, "The flaming stones crashed down on me, they almost struck me. What's the point of my strength?" He called, "So, Stevens, you only got hit once, and the flames hurt you good. Gashes on your arms and legs, I'm counting five, no, six. The next one is going straight to your head, and it's nap time!"

She got up and posed, bloodied and angry, "I won't lose… The last thing I want is to lose again… This freak pisses me off!"

He smirked, "Ohhh… Lady, you're bleeding out! How do you have the strength to move, much less stand? Nah, you're bluffing, sister! Any minute now, what's left of your body will be on the floor! Your arms are as useful as ankle socks! You don't stand a chance against me! NO ONE! I can see your muscle tissue rotting and dying. It's all dark like your heart, or burnt like your flames, since you cannot control it! What do you say we go another round?" He held his arms out, "Okay, just to see how much you have left, I'll fight! Let's play!"

They stared down, as Farra held her arms up, glaring. "What's wrong, lady, let's go!" He barked, "Take a swing at me, I'm defenseless!" He held his arms over his head, as Farra thought, "No, it could be another trap… I'm left with one option left."

Krystle growled, "Shit, this is bad. She's gonna die, if she doesn't turn back." She then noticed a small guy poking at a bone. She gasped, "YES! THERE IT IS! That's the bone I needed, the one Pale Snake was looking for! I found it!" The inmate grabbed it and left, as she cried, "SHIT! He stole it! I'll warn Farra later, but…"

Westwood roared, as he landed a right, "COME ON! YOU CAN'T FIGHT ANYMORE!"

He blasted her to the wall, as he said, "Aw, what's wrong? I admit hiding in the cell shields you from meteors, but can't say it does harm to me!" Farra was pushed back, as she was hurt. "The meteors were falling from the other side of me! Idjit!"

WHAM!
"I WIN! IT'S DONE!" He landed a huge left kick to her skull, "Turns out I was right all along! That fiery body is reckless against me, and now you're gonna die!"

Krystle growled, "Shit… She told me to stay, but…" She ran after the bone, "I'm sorry!"

Farra was groaning in pain. "One prisoner sees the wall… on the other side it is, and the other sees the stars on the walls through the bars. Now which one am I?"

"HERE'S THE LAST BLOW! SWEET DREAMS, BLONDIE!"
PUNT!
Farra was kicked down to the chin. She thought, "Krystle bailed on me… She saw the bone, and she is doing whatever it takes… to get to Pale Snake. But I can turn water into gasoline… because I'm going to grow stronger, by the day! Not by Steven, by Big Guy or his sister, or even him!"

"SCUM BITCH!"
WHAM!
"TOO LATE NOW!" He roared, as he landed a vicious kick, "The meteors are heading in your direction, any moment now!"

"Of course I'll see the stars… If I want to see the Big Guy again, I will want to gaze into their fierce light! So, now it comes to this…"

The fireballs arrived, as Westwood hollered, "HERE COMES THE FINISHING BLOW!"

Farra was on the ground, as he roared, "IT'S OVER! I'M THE STRONGEST THERE–!"
"Oh, fuck you!" Farra sat up, as wings sprouted from her body.

"What the–?" He gasped, "Wings?"

She smirked, "Tell me… can you feel the burning spirit? Answer: I don't think so…" The meteors hit Farra, but they absorb all around her fiery body. Her hair flowed in the air, and her feet were not touching the ground. "I'll admit, you're awesome, but it's too bad you never figured out all my abilities… Meteors cannot harm me… because I'm immune to fire."

He gasped, as she grew in a huge blaze, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" He gasped, "SNEAKY LITTLE SHIT BAG! She has the ability to control my meteors! But still, shit, she's getting the rebound on it!"

Farra roared, "I can't use my finisher, since it's a stadium, but I'll do one better!" A huge meteor flew towards Westwood, "WHAT? The energy has shifted to me!"

He burned the meteors into ash, as Farra groaned, "The meteors will burn out, because of the flames, before you touch. I also forgot to tell you… guess what that flying flaming rock is that you can't stop!"

He looked down, and gasped, "AH! MY BOOT!"

SMASH!
His own boot was set ablaze, and was slammed into his face, burning his skin alive. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

"Santa Maria… Stop being a drama queen." Farra sighed, "It's too bad that your skills are head-on. As for me, like the flames of hell, they stand calm and still, like still waters in a raging torrent. You were so bombastic and awesome that you don't have the key to your inner space!"

"Inner space?" Westwood roared, "I'LL SHOW YOU INNER SPACE, YOU FUCKING SLUT!"

Farra posed, as Westwood landed one final blow, "SUNNY PHOENIX!" Her Phoenix landed a headbutt to his face, before his fist reached. Farra swooped up and called, "You're fired!"

She dove towards Westwood, who was flying to the railing. "What… Who is she? It's like… she's never satisfied with anything… She refuses to give up. It's not fair… Now I know that when the meteor hits first, it may hit me… I'm in horrible shit now… How can she be so violent, and calm, at the same time? How dare you? Her legend… I've heard of her… That bitch beat me!"

Farra dove down and hollered, "BLAZING… DIVEBOMBER!" Westwood was in pain, as he concluded, "Thank you… you reckless cunt. This fight's yours!" He was slammed down by Farra's fiery finisher.

[Westwood – Stand Name unknown: RETIRED]

Farra smirked, as she emerged from the ground, "Know this… This is justice, at its finest. Looks like I'll see the stars." She prayed to Westwood and said, "You fight well, Westwood… Sleep well."

The inmates were stunned, as she called out, raising her arm up in victory, "So… Who's next?" She thought, as she was panting, "Krystle… Wherever you are, get that bone… We want Peter back… badly."

One man in pink gasped, "Did you see that? She took him down, with a blazing attack!"

One man in a blue helmet and orange shirt said, "She is one of them. Figures."

The inmates still brawled with each other, as Farra whispered, "Only problem is… Where's Krystle now? She's long gone, after she found the bone. Did someone manage to swipe it? Even so, I've run out of excuses to bring her back, unharmed." She stepped forward and called, "When I said recede… I mean…" Her aura went ablaze and hollered, "RECEDE!"

The inmates screamed, as Farra was able to control them, one-by-one.

Percival goes down hard. Hotaru prepared for another attack, "Face it! Like, this Stand beats all, including your pathetic Gale Breaker!" She prepared another attack, as Percival shot another wind attack. She countered with the tornado shot, right back at him.

"AGH!" He fell to the ground, and was badly hurt, "Dammit… This woman is strong. Who is she?"

Asahi prepared, "Strength!" She went into a red aura and barked, "I've seen enough! Stand or no Stand, you'll pay for hurting Cy and others!"

Hotaru laughed, "Back for more, eh, Idol Princess? You should be honored… I, like, kicked your ass before. I'll do it again."

Percival groaned, "NO! Asahi, fall back."

"I've seen enough of this… This woman is vile… I refuse to make women into shells."

"I told you! OMG, do you ever listen?!" Hotaru complained, "This isn't my Stand's ability!"

Asahi barked, "Then who? Why are you defending OKa Kazamatsuri, when you know she's evil?"

"Like I said, she and I are family!" Hotaru said, "In fact, you could say… We orchestrated the Euphoria Drug, together." They gasped, "That's right, losers. Kazamatsuri and I are born from the same family tree. I'm actually half-ninja by blood, though I am not a ninja. We're distant relatives, but we are of different worlds."

Asahi asked, "Distant relatives? Wait… So, you're not responsible for stealing Bodhi Waves, or turning girls into gynoid shells?"

"Nope… But even if you dare to face Oka, her Stand is twenty times worse off…" Hotaru laughed, "But you left out one small detail about me… and it's the one that blows your minds. See, I'm not just an Obnubi Ninja, or am I the Euphoria cartel…" Her long hair is a wig, as it falls off her head, showing shorter hair with pink highlights. Her outfit instantly changed into a beige ninja outfit, "I'm the Onigiri type." Her outfit showed a rice ball with red evil eyes on her chest.

Her eyes shone a deep purple hue, as her body was shining in a white aura, "You guessed it, you reckless rotters… I obey Onigiri! THROUGH AND THROUGH!"

Percival gasped, "It can't be…" Asahi asked, "That… Hotaru Kokonohi's an Onigiri Follower?!" She cried, "Reports told me everything about Tohru Honda's evil army! The last remnants of her army, Kagura Sohma, met her untimely end, thanks to Beth Nevins! There's just no way!"

Percival seethed, as he bowed his head, "Onigiri… Tohru Honda… no… Remy Snowflake… Of all people…"

"Huh? Remy Snowflake? What are you talking about? Who is–?"

"Is this what Euphoria is for? To revive Onigiri to another?!" He yelled.

Hotaru smirked, as Asahi asked him, "Percival… Tohru Honda's evil side is familiar… but who the hell is Remy Snowflake?"

"The same woman that took Black Dynamite's powers… and remodeled herself as the NEW Onigiri. Years ago, The Authority and Black Dynamite fought in a standstill, during the Great West Greenwich War, and Remy Snowflake interfered and killed Black Dynamite. When she killed him, he died standing tall, and from there…"

"She became the New Coming of evil?" Asahi whispered, "No way… And this Euphoria drug… It was all…"

"Part of the plan. All that fall into permanent bliss will obey the birth of a new goddess, Remy Snowflake, the NEW Goddess of the Multiverse!" Hotaru bellowed, "And so far, we have almost achieved it! Heaven is close to our grasp, and with Euphoria at our disposal, combined with the powers of Heaven, our goddess will become immortal!"

Percival growled, as Asahi asked, "But… I don't get it… Who's Remy Snowflake?"

"Asa… Remy Snowflake is the NEW Onigiri, because she resembled the late Tohru Honda… Brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin, dressed in white… but after killing Black Dynamite, her garb is black as hell."

"Wait… Remy Snowflake is–."

"That's right. She's Tohru Honda's clone."

Asahi gasped in horror, as he added, "But that is not all. Remy Snowflake exists as a clone, but she didn't start that way… long before the Moji Mikisa was birthed, thanks to Enrico Pucci…"

Percival was about to tell Asahi, but Hotaru yawned, "Oh, please… Like, you're boring the F outta me. I'm just gonna kill ya, before you even blab about our goddess."

"WHY SHOULD I LET YOU? You obey a serial killer!" He yelled out. He ran at her, and he cried out, "AND I REFUSE TO LET ONIGIRI UNLEASH HELL AGAIN!"

He landed a swift right, as Hotaru dodged it, "Hmph, simple tricks." She pummeled at him, as Asahi cried, "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Her Stand emerged and landed a swift volley of punches. Hotaru blocked it, and then she shattered into glass. She emerged from behind Asahi and yelled, "YOU'RE WIDE OPEN, FREELANCER!" She landed a swift kick to her Stand, but Magic Mirror emerged and she and Idol Diamond clashed.

"How droll…" Hotaru smirked, "And to think your Stand is that of a legend. No one can topple the goddess, Onigiri, not even the Chosen One. And you are just helpless to carry out this feeble attempt."

Percival tackled her and roared, "HERE'S WHAT I THINK OF ONIGIRI!" He slammed her down and started punching her face, "AAGH! MY MAKEUP!" Percival hollered, as he lifted his fists high, "NOOOOOOOOO MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!" He slammed down and smashed Hotaru's head into glass.

Asahi was pushed back, as she growled, "Not enough. She's still alive…"

He stepped back, "Don't you think I know that? That fucking Onigiri… She cannot live again! NOT AFTER A DECADE I HAVE TO SUFFER! I WAS AT FAULT, WHEN THAT HAPPENED, AND I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN, NOT EVEN KAZAMATSURI OR PALE SNAKE!"

She asked, "Percival, calm down… It's not your fault. But… Hotaru, is she really?"

"I don't know… but…"

They waited, as Percival said, "Keep both eyes out… It's another of her tricks."

They stayed in place, as Hotaru's shadow was on the wall, "Totally mean… but they won't make it out alive. Onigiri's revival is imminent… But first, I eliminate the source of her past. Percival Gaynes knew of her, too well… And he's at fault? Perfect…" Her shadow grinned demonically. "Like, you're totally dead… once I strike…"

Back at the prison, Krystle found the guy that has the bone. But she was stopped by Buttercup. She said, "What's your hurry?"

Krystle said, "There's a bone… and that small guy has it…"

They spotted the inmate with spiky hair and a small body. He was walking off, as the bone was in his hands. Buttercup said, "You're right… And by the looks of it, I believe he's getting away with it. What kind of bone is it?"

"A bone that belongs to Pale Snake… and it's actually from a vampire called MIO."

"MIO you say? Hmph, this is bad. We'll creep at him, and swipe the bone from him… then leave."

"Good. But why are you assisting me?"

"Kim refuses to go with you, so she sent me."

"Still shy?"

"More or less… Come on…" She summoned Jade Hornet and said, "I'll use this as a way to track him down."

Krystle and Buttercup leave to chase after the prisoner with MIO's bone.

XXXXX

As Farra was cleaning house in the Punishment Ward, as some were burned alive, Steven emerged from the entrance, alongside E.E.

"What's going on here?" He called.

E.E. asked, "Farra, where's Krystle?"

Farra stated, "I'll explain later… Right now, you, with that magic plankton of yours… Think you can–."

E.E. smiled, "Loud and clear. She told you about me?"

Farra's wounds were healed by the plankton, as she said, "Well, more or less… I'm going after Krystle. She needs my help, and she has to return to her cell."

Steven said, "No need. Rest a bit, you're tired. I'll summon the others and have you rested. Also, I see that the entire inmates are badly hurt."

"I'm spent, dude…" She moaned, "I had to go through that big guard, when he assaulted me… You should've seen it. As for Krystle, she fled. I think she found the bone."

E.E. asked, "WHAT?!"

Farra said, "When I was about to finish off this clown, Krystle fled, mostly because she saw a prisoner leave the Punishment Ward. I think she found the bone."

Steven nodded, "So precise. I guess it was here, all along."

A man with a blue outfit and black hair appeared to Steven. He cried out, "HEY!" The small prisoner shrieked, and Steven stopped him. He kicked him down and he crashed into the wall. He smirked, "I still got it…"

He gasped, "NO! NONONONONO! Spare me! Agh! Don't hurt me!"

Steven asked, "Can I help you?"

Guccio said, "I'm the user for Survivor! My name's Guccio! I don't want to stay here! Please, spare me… If you do, let me go, I'll be nice…"

They saw him plead, as Steven said, "It's fine… You can go."

Guccio ran off, as E.E. asked, "Who was that?"

Farra sighed, "Not our best…" She asked, "Oh, you there, E.E., right? I forgot who you were. Thanks for the assist. We'll handle things here, you go find Krystle."

E.E. nodded, "Right. Where is she now?"

Farra said, "She's chasing the bone."

A man called, "Excuse me…" An old man appeared in a blue jumpsuit and a hat, with gray hair, "Are you The Gang? Ah, yes, Steven Cooke of the mastery of Hokuto Shinken. I've heard stories about your heroics, or lack thereof." He stretched himself and was completely flexible, "The man who ended the Killing Game, let alone he can see Stands, without needing one. Your fists are that of legends. Yet your combat prowess is amazing. The man who leads his pack, and yet he's unscathed. To be honest, I lived to see another 11 years to start again, and to meet the man that eliminated The Authority, the World Capital, and survived and fooled a nation that censors lewdness. I remember so long ago when Pale Snake told me of Stand Users in the area, I was intrigued. And here I am again, witnessing a new breed." He bent down and stretched his arms, "But now, the reason is obvious. If The Gang is eliminated, then I'm free to have peace, and get my payback from so long ago." He introduced himself, "You may call me Kenzou, and I'm only 89 years old. I was a prisoner in Green Dolphin State Prison at 78, now, I'm relocated in St. Dolphin. My, how coincidental."

JoJo's Kenzou (from "Stone Ocean"); Surprised that he lived after his last defeat, 11 years ago.

"My key to good health is eight hours of deep sleep, and even urine therapy, every day, without failure." Kenzou grinned, as E.E. was stunned, "Who the hell is this geezer?"

Steven asked, "Hey. You know Pale Snake?" Kenzou nodded, "Yes. And moreover, I wish to face you, Steven Cooke, the Fist of the North Star. Let's see if your legend is true."

He bowed and said, "Gladly. E.E., you and Farra leave. Find Krystle."

Kenzou said, "No, no, ladies… You're more than welcome to stay. Look around… Know why the prisoners are no longer fighting?" They were being bloated up, as Farra gasped, "The hell?"

He explained, "That's right. They were drowning. Luckily for you, you weren't my first opponent. 11 years it has been… And moreover, I long to fight you, one-on-one."

Steven said, "Well, if you know Pale Snake, you're my enemy. So, make with the duel, Kenzou. But I warn you, Hokuto Shinken is invincible."

Steven faced off against Kenzou, the old man who worked for Pale Snake, long ago. Another battle begins, as the hellish answers still await.
