He had just received a letter from a potential client, decrypting it said there would be a rendezvous in a small town on the other side of the country. This was his first job since his stand changed form last week and he was eager to test out his new capabilities. But first, he needed to get there.
Booking some train tickets in advance he had a few days until he was ready to go, he decided to go into a bar to pick up on the news and pass the time. As he expected nothing could be found out since the entire nation was still recovering from the inexplicable death of the president.
exiting the bar and seeing it was raining. He was going to return to his hotel, when suddenly he'd received a bullet wound! Immediately put on the defensive he drew his gun and scanned his surroundings, seeing no assailant he ducked behind a nearby Crate for cover. when suddenly he'd received another wound, this time from above?!? He quickly acted on instinct and ducked into a nearby shop, seeing the glass display windows shater and the rain flow through. ducking into an aisle the roof above him, he fired two shots into the ceiling hoping to hit his unknown assailant as the raindrops tore through his body
while bandaging himself up with sone cloth found in the store, he realized, he recognized this method of attack! This was one of his competitors stand ability! This was the stand of Danny Ranger the raindrop assassin!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stand: [ZERO DARK THIRTY]
Stand Master: Danny Ranger
Stand ability: when summoned [ZERO DARK THIRTY] slowly builds up energy over time, the stand can then apply the energy it's built up to any object within its 10 meter effective range.
(Note: The stand itself cannot change the trajectory of the object it will just make it follow its predetermined path faster)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
knowing his enemy's limits, he goes on the offensive, sending a version of himself out the back door as he climbed the rafters to punch a large enough hole in the ceiling to get through. Making it to the rooftop he is shot by another two raindrops briefly seeing the enemy stand. Using the orientation the stand took as a basis, the other version of himself moves toward the direction of the alley the stand seemingly came from
Danny is confused, he could've sworn he saw his enemy on the roof just a few seconds ago but now he is closing in on him? He had known the 10 of his comrades were dead so how could there be another one? Never mind that, he has been saving up energy for something like this, as his enemy fires towards his cover he pushes over a nearby trash can and uses [ZERO DARK THIRTY] to accelerate it rapidly
prepared for an attack like this, he had already sent another version of himself to flank through the other entrance of the alley, all the while the main body was preparing an attack from above
while the one that was attacked by the trash can was playing dead the flanking one reached the other entrance to the alley and started firing from behind cover, this was a perfect distraction from the original whom used this opportunity to throw a loose brick at him from above. Even if Danny did react to the brick he couldn't block it and his stand would just speed it up
but that's not what happened, instead Danny used hist stand as armor to shield the blow from the brick. Then he used his remaining stored energy to accelerate the lid of the trash can before jumping on it to escape!
Merging the other versions of himself back together he tried to chase Danny to the other side of town, but the police had arrived due to the commotion and tried to stop him quickly fleeing through another alley he took a more scenic route towards Danny
Danny took advantage of this distraction by using the horse he planted there earlier to get away while his enemy was distracted by the police
So that's it! That's this chapter! I'm going to continue the rest of the fight as a second part before I have him leave on the train. I still have a few things to work out though
(NOTES)
1: our main character still doesn't have a name and it's getting harder to just call him "him"
2: as for actual stats [THE GATES] is the same as [D4C] and [ZERO DARK THIRTY] is similar to [MAN IN THE MIRROR] at least for AP
