Fear the Yellow Defense of the Temperance
After patching up Polnareff and Nate from their intense battle with Soul Sacrifice's Stand in their room, everyone went for the meeting talking about what to do, but then the two got taken by the police for question on the dead bodies of the assassin and the employee. Luckily, Joseph called the Speedwagon Foundation to help clear things and now with just Joseph and Avdol in the room still worrying about something with Makoto for the adult conversation.
"That was cutting it close even for us. To think the enemies' pursuit would come to us so early on." Avdol feared some worst may happen again soon.
"Don't forget, that Dio's body used to belong to Jonathan Joestar." Joseph reminded.
"That's right, you mention that while the blood connection and lead you to Dio, he can also use that to fine you and send his lackies to fight us." Makoto remembered that explanation after dealing with that stupid monkey.
"Yes, but we still use that against him, to read his thought to at least know which Enemy Stand User he will sent next." Joseph stated.
"Shall I go buy a camera?" Avdol asked.
"That won't be necessary, I can use my power even without a camera." Joseph pointed his thumb at the TV.
The three adults gathered at the TV and Joseph summons his Hermit Purple to latched itself onto the TV making it turn on starting with changing a few channels at a slow pace, then the screen started making a swirling picture with the numbers of the channels mixing in as well.
"Okay, that looks a little creepy." Makoto commented.
"It's as if it has a mind of its own." Avdol said.
"It's searching for words among the channels and connecting them into a sentence, creating a message for the ear, not the mind." Joseph explained.
But the message Joseph's Stand found was not what they were expecting, the message says that there is a traitor in their group and one of them is Kakyoin which is a major shock to the, but then on the screen Dio appeared.
"Oh no, it's him!" Joseph gasped.
"DIO!" Makoto growled.
"Joestar, you're watching me. Well, watch this!" Dio said and the TV screen started to crack until it explodes right in their face.
"Okay, that hurt." Makoto groaned, luckily no one is seriously hurt.
"But I still can't believe it, Kakyoin is the traitor!" Avdol shocked.
"Didn't you say that you removed the Bud thing from his forehead back in Japan?" Makoto asked.
"Yeah, Jotaro pulled the damn thing right off and I destroyed it with my Hamon. So, how exactly is Kakyoin the traitor?" Joseph feared.
"We have to be extra careful; he could kill us in our sleep, and it would be like the trojan horse." Joseph stated.
"Then maybe we should check up on him. Where is Kakyoin?" Makoto asked.
"I believe he is with Jotaro and Kimi out walking with Anne as well." Avdol recalled.
(With Jotaro and Others)
"Hope you enjoy your coconut drinks!" A food stance man thanked the costumers.
"I'm sure we will." Kimi smiled as she handed on white coconut to Anne.
"Hmm, this is really good." Anne amazed of the taste.
"Yes, it certainly brings out the flavor you would never expect." Kimi giggled.
While everyone is enjoying their coconut drinks, a strange looking man is slowly walking up to them without trying to be suspicious and hold out his right hand to take some money from the guy in the green uniform. But before the guy could even reach towards the pocket.
"Now, now, didn't your mother ever taught you…" Kimi spined around and slap the strange looking man real hard sending him flying towards a tree.
"To keep your hands to yourself?" Kimi grinned.
"Wow, that was awesome, Kimi! You knew that guy was gonna steal from us!" Anne praised.
"Thank you, mother always told me to be a strong girl so that no one would take my things." Kimi repeated the words her mom told her.
"Can't believe I almost let my guard down on the creep, makes me want to beat the shitty out of him right now." Kakyoin glared at the guy.
"It's just one guy, he's not worth it." Jotaro stated though Kakyoin kept glaring coldly at the guy.
"Hey everyone, why don't we go and ride the cable cars! I can get a good view of the city while we're still here before we make our way to India." Kimi suggested.
"Sure, why not?" Jotaro shrugged as he and Kakyoin make their way to the cable car station.
"Oh, cherries, my favorite." Kakyoin paid a little money to get some cherries in a bag.
"Licklicklicklicklicklicklicklicklicklick." Kakyoin started licking the cherry in a strange way that weirds out Jotaro from just looking at him.
"Hold on there, Anne, I think you got a little something on your cheek." Kimi kneeled down and rubbed her licked thumb on the girl's face.
"Hey, what are you, my mom?" Anne asked, then she felt something being put in her hand.
The small group make their way to the cable cart station though Kakyoin still has the cold stare on his face as he looks towards Jotaro, like he is waiting for an opportunity to do something, and you can feel in the air around him that it isn't good.
"Excuse me, Kakyoin, but are you feeling alright?" Kimi asked which got his attention.
"Of course, I'm alright. I'm standing in perfect health." Kakyoin responded in a slight harsh tone.
"Well, it just you haven't been acting like your usually self since we left the hotel, and you did look like you really wanted to beat up that man earlier." Kimi pointed out.
"What's your point? That man was a scum for trying to take something that isn't his, especially when it comes to stealing from me." Kakyoin proclaimed looking really.
"Now, now, I'm sure you wouldn't want to make Nate worry about you. After all, you two have always consider each other brother and sister." Kimi stated.
"Perhaps you're right, I have been too angry for something so trivial." Kakyoin sighed.
"But that doesn't mean I should listen to an annoying bitch like you, thinking you're the dominate one around one." Kakyoin mocked.
"Hey! What the hell did you just say to my girl!" Jotaro snapped.
"Calm yourself down, my sexy Jojo. You know such words don't faze me like that, and besides I get the feeling we might know something more what's been going on with Kakyoin soon." Kimi glanced at Kakyoin.
"Oh, and what the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Kakyoin asked with a raised eyebrow.
Then a ding sound came from Anne in her shirt pocket as she took it our revealing to be a phone and she gasp upon what is on the phone screen she is seeing right now.
"Hey, isn't that Kimi's phone?" Jotaro asked as he noticed the phone in Anne's hands.
"Yes, it is, and it looks like Kimi was actually right about Kakyoin!" Anne mentioned as Kimi smirks.
"Good, it looks like my little instinct was on the mark, after all." Kimi giggled.
"Okay, could you just tell me what are you two talking about?" Jotaro asked.
"Yeah, I want to know about it too." Kakyoin said getting a little angry again.
"Oh nothing, it just… the fact that you're not really Kakyoin and the real one is back at the hotel by the pool!" Kimi revealed holding up her phone showing Kakyoin at the pool.
"What the fuck…?!" "Kakyoin" gasped.
"You see, when I stopped for a bit to clean Anne's face, it was actually to give her my phone to text my little brother." Kimi started explaining.
(Flashback)
"I had this odd feeling that something was off about you the moment we left the hotel." Kimi said.
Jotaro, Kimi, and Anne are about to leave the hotel ground when "Kakyoin" caught up to them, asking if he can come along and Jotaro shrug saying it doesn't matter to him as they leave, and Kimi glanced at Kakyoin getting this odd feeling from him.
"And that was when you started behaving strangely like how you super angry at that man who tried to steal your wallet made me realize you may not actually be Kakyoin. Then I got Anne to help me expose the phony you are." Kimi mentioned.
The scene showed Kimi and Anne having a little face-to-face moment right now and she gave Anne her IPhone in her hand.
"Anne, I want you to text my brother right now and asked him to send me a picture of what is Kakyoin doing right now." Kimi said.
"Wait, a picture of Kakyoin? But he's right here?" Anne puzzled.
"I know this may sound strange, but I think that Kakyoin may not be who he claims to be. I just need you to trust me on this." Kimi whispered.
"Uh, okay." Anne nodded and started texting to Tori.
"It wouldn't be hard for Tori knowing he would think I wanted some good pictures for our traveling trip or needed to check up on the others, or perhaps both." Kimi said.
Back at the hotel, Tori got the text about getting a picture of Kakyoin and went to search for him until he found the guy at the pool sunbathing and snaps a shot then sending the picture to Kimi's phone.
(Flashback End)
"And that's the whole story, of how I was able to figure out that you're not the real Kakyoin!" Kimi concluded and pointed her finger at "Kakyoin" who is shocked.
"Well now, and here I thought you were being a little bizarre up until now and how you insult my girlfriend. Now it all makes sense." Jotaro glared at the fake Kakyoin.
Kakyoin just stares at everyone while his eyes are being shadowed being silence for a moment until he let out a little evil laugh.
"My, my, I didn't expect to be expose from a simple text message. Guess you fools aren't as stupid as I thought." The fake Kakyoin smirked as a cable cart arrived.
"Then I think it's best we talk it out and… sit DOWN!" Jotaro punched the fake friend so hard sending him crashing into the cart.
"Kimi, stay with Anne. I'll deal with this punk myself." Jotaro ordered as he walked to the cart.
"Make sure to give him a strong slap for me." Kimi said.
Jotaro walked noticing the fake Kakyoin's mouth is ripped long though he doesn't appear to be hurt by it all and the imposter stands up like nothing happened.
"Well, well, I have to give your bitch credit for figuring me out of not being Kakyoin. That must also mean she must have noticed that my body was growing a little." The fake mentioned as shown being taller than Jotaro now.
"So, who are you?" Jotaro asked.
"(Is this a Stand? No, can't be, I was able to touch him just now unless he's a Stand I can strike with my own fist.)" Jotaro thought tried to figure out what kind of Stand this guy has.
Then the cable cart Jotaro and the imposter Kakyoin are on started to move away from the station where Kimi and Anne watch it go.
"Hey, the cart is moving away, is it really okay to leave him like this?" Anne asked worry.
"Do not worry, sweetie, you should know by now that we're not the type of people to walk away from any big meanies." Kimi assured.
"(Although, I get the strong feeling that this foe maybe something Jotaro is going to have troubles with.)" Kimi thought concerned.
"I can merge with any organic matter I consume, I'm a Stand anyone can see and touch. Lucky them, don't you think? I am Yellow Temperance of the Temperance card." The fake introduced his Stand, and the body turns into a yellow slime revealing the real man inside.
"Glaze upon my handsome face with envy! For I am Rubber Soul!" Rubber bragged.
Rubber Soul has dark, curly hair and a muscular build. He is bare-chested and wears pants and shoes.
"Rubber Soul? What, were your parents not good with names and decided to give you a shitty one since the day you were born?" Jotaro insulted.
"Come now, Jotaro, old friend. Take a good look at your right hand." Rubber said.
Jotaro looked down at his right hand and saw a little yellow slime onto his pinky finger.
"See that little bit of me? It latched on when you hit me and really doesn't want to let go." Rubber bragged.
"(So, this got on me when I punched the bastard.)" Jotaro thought thinking of trying to remove it and then felt his pinky being hurt by this slime.
"I advise you not to touch or it'll go after you left hand too." Rubber mentioned making Jotaro pulled away his left hand.
"You better save that left hand for picking your nose. This Stand is a slow eater, and the more it eats the bigger it gets. You'll never get it off." Rubber smirked.
"Crap, damn you!" Jotaro gasped and quickly summoned Star Platinum.
"ORA!" Star Platinum threw a punch at Rubber.
"What do you mean ora?" Rubber asked sarcastically as Yellow Temperance expand itself and latches onto Star Platinum's arm.
"When I digest, I'll shove your own crap down your stupid throat!' Rubber threatened.
"The hell? This stuff burns?!" Jotaro groaned as he can feel the burning pain on his arm reflecting from his Stand.
Rubber Soul just laughs manically believing that he has won this battle though Jotaro refused to go down so easily, he tries to think of something to beat this guy though he also has to do something about the freaky yellow stuff on his pinky finger. Then his eyes spotted a tower the cable cart is about to past by, thinking no other way but to escape from this guy for now.
"Sorry, but it looks like you'll be taking this ride alone." Jotaro said.
Star Platinum start shaking and moving its right arm fast to get the yellow slimy Stand off and Jotaro force his way out of the cart jumping to the tower, though he couldn't grab onto the ledge which he got his Stand to grab and lean onto the tower.
"Whoa, Jotaro just jump out of the cart! Is he crazy?!" Anne gasped.
"(If Jotaro is resorting to leaving the fight for now then that means this enemy's Stand be truly troublesome.)" Kimi thought worried.
"Yare yare daze." Jotaro sighed. "(A Stand that fuses with flesh, it's eating away at my finger. This could get bad.)" He thought before getting himself on top of the tower.
"(First, I got to get this stuff off me though it might be easier said than done.)" Jotaro thought as he looked at Rubber finding it odd that he is not coming after him now.
"(Hopefully I don't have to resort to cutting off my own finger.)" Jotaro thought.
"HA! Did you really thought you got away?" Rubber laughed.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, old pal. Now take that earwax out of your ears and listen up, hot shot. Your time's run out because Yellow Temperance has NO weaknesses!" Rubber revealed a shocking truth to Jotaro.
"You didn't escape, it just that I don't have to chase you! You're as good as dead, Jotaro!" Rubber laughed loudly.
Jotaro knew this is guy wouldn't be this confident if his Stand ability wasn't as dangerous as he claims to be and his instincts are telling him that Rubber is right, he pulled out a metal match hoping to burn the slimy Stand off his finger.
"This will hurt like a son of a bitch, but I don't have a choice." Jotaro moved the lit-up match to pinky finger.
Jotaro can feel his finger getting burned though didn't care as he just wants to get rid of the damn thing, but the opposite happened when the yellow slime Stand just grew a little more on his other finger and down to his hand.
"What the hell? The flame only made it grew bigger!" Jotaro gasped.
"That was a bad idea, damn… I thought I had it." Jotaro said knowing this battle is going to be more troublesome than he thought.
