Elsewhere, a strange faceless being known only as ST3V3 is currently using his Stand, ERROR 404, on an unsuspecting civilian, which happens to be Gunter Super Smash. ST3V3 uses his Stand to mess with Gunter's memories, causing many of them to become completely blocked off, even though he had already been suffering from lost memory after his previous encounter with Jonnnny and Indy. After ST3V3 leaves, Gunter is left confused due to his lack of any memories to be confused about, and doesn't even remember how to use his summon items, or that his summon items are summon items in the first place. Gunter starts wandering around, and eventually runs into Jonnnny and Indy, who clearly aren't very happy to see him.
"Hello kind sirs, do you know what this item is for? I found it in my pocket but I can't remember why I have it." asks Gunter politely, holding out one of his summon items.
"Gunter, I dunno what you're trying to pull here, but we don't want any part of it." Jonnnny says, making sure not to touch the item Gunter is holding.
"Is that my name?" Gunter asks incredulously.
"Hey Indy, scan him to see if he's lying." Jonnnny says, and Indy nods and scans Gunter, only to find that the information is glitched out and just reads "ERROR 404". "Well, what did it say?"
"It's all glitchy and weird." Indy responds.
"It must be his Stand! He's trying to trick us!" Jonnnny exclaims, pointing accusingly at Gunter.
"You're right! Get outta here, Gunter!" Indy says, and Gunter frowns and walks away. After a bit of sulking, Gunter comes across a statue, and starts looking for any kind of contact information on it for someone who could help him. All Gunter finds is a name on the plaque, revealing the statue to be of Osworn, the One in charge of Duality 1 of this Trifecta. Gunter decides to check the phonebook for this name, and he does see a phone number, but when he calls it there is no sound from the other side. He also notices a large advertisement for another phone number at the bottom of the page, but when he calls it, he finds that he has already been blocked. Gunter tries to go to the local brainwashing center to get his brain unwashed, but is immediately kicked out, since he's been on the blacklist for years. As a last ditch effort, Gunter heads into a back alley to see if he can get his brain unwashed illegally, and he encounters a shady man known as the guy that helps you with your problems but only by saying a specific thing that has to do with awakening, also known as Nightstand, Freeloader Freddy's friend and business partner.
"So, you've come to me for help with something?" Nightstand asks upon seeing Gunter approaching.
"Yes, I appear to not remember much of anything at all, two times over." Gunter responds.
"Hm...sounds like something that could be fixed if you were to awaken some kind of Stand." Nightstand replies, pretending to think on the matter for a while, even though this is the only suggestion he ever gives to solve problems.
"I'm standing right now, and I'm awake, isn't that enough?"
"No, head over that convention center over there and talk to my friend Freeloader Freddy. He can help you awaken the Stand that you may or may not have. I'll come with ya." Nightstand starts leading Gunter to the convention center, and Gunter follows without asking any questions. Inside, Freddy is reminding Paul to pay rent for him, but he stops when he notices Nightstand walking in. "Hey Freddy! I think I found a customer!"
"Good work, that's like the second one this month! You were right about this being a good place to set up this business." Freddy replies. Freddy looks over Gunter, and then brings out Health Critical. "One tried and true method of awakening a Gongoozler is by bringing yourself to the brink of death, which I can do pretty easily." Freddy begins sapping Gunter's nutrients before he can object, and sure enough, a somewhat unnerving gray humanoid manifests near Gunter, which is his Stand, Ding Ding Dong.
"Alright, Freddy, let him go. Do you remember anything now?" Nightstand asks Gunter while he gets to his feet.
"Hm...yes, it does seem that my mind has cleared up, somewhat. I think I remember what this thing does, too." Gunter says, before snapping his fingers, causing Ding Ding Dong to become a second Gunter.
"Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but it's time for you to pungle up. Awakening Stands ain't something we do for free." Nightstand says, holding out his hand. Gunter shrugs and starts walking away, but Freddy grabs his wallet from him before he can get too far.
"What the hell? There's not even any money in here! It's all condoms!" Freddy says, a look of disgust crossing his face as he quickly throws the wallet back to Gunter.
"You know what this means! Paul has to pay double now!" Nightstand exclaims.
"Hey, what? That's not fair! It's not like I'm related to him or something!" Paul snaps.
"Oh yeah? Hey, creepy long leg guy, are you related to Paul?" Nightstand demands.
"Of course I am! Don't you see the Smash Brother family resemblance?" Gunter chuckles, before being shooed away by Nightstand.
"Got you now, Paul! That'll be 50 dollars." Nightstand holds out his hand, and Paul sighs and fishes out a fifty dollar bill from his pocket.
"Dang, that's like half of my allowance!" whines Paul, but he still hands Nightstand the money. Nightstand heads back to his alley to look for more customers, and hears the loud and clear approaching sound of moist organic matter slapping against pavement. Nightstand heads over to investigate this sound, and sees a Primitive Fish flopping towards him in a way that seems random yet also calculated.
"Hey Fish, would you consider yourself in need of a Stand?" inquires Nightstand, crouching down to get on the Fish's level.
"How would one stand with no legs to be had?" muses the Fish. Nightstand sighs and picks up Primitive Fish before heading back over to the convention center.
"Hey Freddy, I found a Fish!" Nightstand calls out.
"I didn't know you could fish." Freddy responds.
"It was just flopping around and it didn't resist me taking it here."
"Hmm...I don't know if this fish could even utilize a Gongoozler. Does it have money?"
"Hey Fish, how much money you got?"
"Something like 80 quid." responds the Primitive Fish.
"Alright, any currency is fine in this line of work, so that should be good. Hey Freddy, did you manage to get back the Stand Gun? I noticed that Lobus failed to guard it properly."
"Yeah, I snatched it off of that cyborg guy who got it when he wasn't looking." Freddy responds, holding up the Stand Gun. "This thing may be expensive to use, but it's certainly effective." Freddy fires the Stand Gun at the Primitive Fish, and its fragile skeleton is torn apart at every seam the moment the projectile makes contact with its body.
"Damn it, doesn't it realize how much those bullets cost?" Nightstand sighs, but before he can try to take the money from Primitive Fish's body, he notices a 30 second countdown timer appear above it, before starting to tick down. "Wait, maybe it did get a Stand!"
"Either way, it still needs to pay up." Freddy says, watching as the countdown continues dropping. As it reaches the single digits, Primitive Fish's flayed remains begin to develop into a new form, and when the countdown hits zero, it fully evolves into Mildly Developed Vertebrate.
"Hey, now that you're back, we need you to pay for the Stand we just gave you, and also tell us what it's called." Nightstand tells Mildly Developed Vertebrate.
"You already had the money, stumpid. Just put me down as Capital G, and leave me alone while I go apply for a job." Mildly Developed Vertebrate says, before heading out.
"Hang on, let's make sure that guy actually paid us. Bring out the safe." Freddy says, and Nightstand brings out his Stand, Nightstand, which is in fact just a nightstand that can be brought out at will. Freddy looks around inside, and finds some kind of currency that he doesn't recognize. "Huh, these must be the quids it was talking about. Guess it must have been telling the truth, then." after Freddy makes this observation, Nightstand puts away his Stand and heads back to the alley to keep an eye out for more potential customers.
