Chapter 7 Aging problem
I don't own JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or Kingdom hearts
The group arrived at the train station, most of them entered the train as Bruno was at the fountain looking for what the boss told them, Roxas and Giorno where watching Bruno as he was looking everywhere as he was sweating.
"Bucciarati the trains is about to leave, is something wrong?"Giorno asked.
"Theres no other drinking fountain on this platform, is there?"Bruno said.
"What we saw no."Roxas said.
Bruno puts the the key next to the keyhole on the hatch and said:"this key won't fit into this keyhole, not mention"He opens it"you don't even need a key to open it it's just a stopcock."
"Buccirarati, how about the lock on the fire hydrant?"Giorno said.
Bruno looks at it, then he puts the key next to the lock and said:"The shape's complelty different, there aren't any locks or doors that this key will fit."
Roxas was thinking what it's supposed to be used, they don't have much time as they need to leave because of the enemy so he looks around and sees the turtle and notices a hole on it that shaped liked the key.
"Bruno the turle."Roxas said getting his attention and he saw the hole.
"The turtle."Bruno said as he lifts up the key.
Bruno goes to pick up the turtle and runs to the train, Bruno, Giorno and Roxas ran toawrds the group who were next to the drivers cab and Bruno said:"everyone."They looked at them as Bruno sets the turtle down and puts the key in"get inside."they were confused until Bruno enetered the gem on the key and they got surprised, Roxas was next as the rest followed them.
The turtle then started to walk in the cab through a gab on the door, after the turtle was under the seat the group then were watching the room they were at as it had a couch, table and fridge.
"Roxas good job finding the purpose of the key."Bruno praised him.
"Thank you, Bruno during my travels you tend to find what is not what your expecting."Roxas said.
"So can anyone explain who is this possible?"Narancia asked.
"The key wasn't made to fit in a keyhole, it actually fit right into this turtle's shell."Bruno said as they look up to see the bottom of the seat"That, in turn, somehow activated the turltes ability, creating this space and making the key it self a entrance so that we could hide inside."
"Basically it's a stand user."Roxas said.
"Th-The turtle is a stand user?"Narancia said as he streches his arm out to the gem.
That part of him was outside as he got stuck, Roxas helped him get down and Narancia landed on the couch"Ow."Narancia said in pain.
"B-but man, this is awesome, this turle is like some kind of spaceship."Narancia said.
"But this room isn't some kind of illusion, this is a realm room, even the sofa and other furniture is real."Fugo said as he inspected it.
Abbacchio went to check the frigde and said:"there are some chilled drinks in here."
"I guess the boss left them there for us, turtles like being in shade, they aren't loud and they don't scuttle about, this way we should be able to get to Venice by train without worry."Bruno said.
"Well that's good, it should help us be out of sight until we reach our destination."Roxas said then he looks at Abbacchio"Hey Abbacchio what kind of drinks are there?"
"Theres Cola and Sprite."Abbacchio said.
"Well I'll try the Cola."Roxa said as he goes to the fridge and Abbacchio gives him one, then Roxas looks at Trish and asked:"Hey Trish do you want a drink?"
Trish looks at him and said:"I'll take a glass of mineral water with ice."
"Okay, I'll make one."Roxas said.
"Then I'll go take a nap."Abbacchio said as he goes to the couch to rest along with Fugo and Giorno.
"Mista, Narancia why don't you two take guard watching the outside."Bruno said.
"Okay."Mista said as he and Narancia went to the empty zone and stood next to the wall.
"Hey Bruno you want a drink?"Roxas asked as he made Trish and his own drinks.
"I'll take a glass of water too."Bruno said.
"Hey Roxas pass me a can of Cola."Mista said.
"Okay."Roxa takes out a can"catch."Roxas tosses it to Mista who grabs it and said:"Thank you."
Roxas makes another glass for Bruno and gives him the glass.
"Thank you."Bruno thanked Roxas.
Roxas gives Trish hers with a straw and she said:"Thank you."
"No problem."Roxas said with a smile.
"Can you pass me that magazine?"Trish asked pointing the one on the table.
"Oh Okay."Roxas said giving her the magazine, then he goes to the a wall with his own glass of Cola as he drinks it.
"It's pretty good, just not what I'm used to."Roxas said.
"Oh really, what did you do when you needed to cool off?"Narancia asked.
"Well I used to eat a ice cream that was both sweet and salty."Roxas said.
"Wait really, man now you got my interest now I'm curious how it tastes."Narancia said as he tried to imagine the ice cream.
"Well maybe after our mission I'll bring you guys to the world that has it, they call it sea salt ice cream."Roxas said.
"Sea salt ice cream."Trish said.
"Yeah since it's both sweet and salty they called it that."Roxas said.
"Well it makes sense since sea water is salty."Mista said with a chuckle.
"And Trish maybe when this is all over I can bring you along too."Roxas said surprising her.
"You see."Mista whispers to Narancia"they are really a thing."
"I can't believe that Roxas and Trish would be a couple."Narancia said.
Trish looks at Roxas a few seconds then said:"Maybe."
A few minutes passed as Bruno, Trish and Roxas where still drinking, Mista finished his faster, Narancia yawn since it was taking a long time and Mista decided to check the fridge.
"It' probably because we're in a room inside a turle, but it's sorta muggy in here."Mista said.
Roxas noticed it and said:"now that you mention it your right."
"You see, I was right"Mista said and then talks to Narancia:" you want a drink too, Narancia?" Naracia wa staring at the ceiling.
"There are only cold drinks, but there's Cola, mineral water, carbonatated, non-carbonated, apple juice, orange juice and pineapple juice, hey are you even listening?"
"Huh, what was that?!"Narancia said as he puts a hand behind his ear to hear better.
"I'm asking if you want something to drink, why don't you get some rest while you're at it, you look pretty tired, I'll keep an eye on the ceiling.""Mista said as he holds a bottle.
"Oh, Okay."Narancia said as he goes to sit on a chair"My shoulders suddenly feel stiff and my back hurts, there we go,"he sits on the chair"I'd really like something warm, something that won't upset my stomach."
Roxas looked at Narancia and he was confused from what he saw Narancia do, he knew that this was strange he was lazy but the way he was acting was not normal.
"I told you, there are only cold drinks in here, you never listen, do you?!"Mista said.
"I'll just eat this banana, then."Narancia said as he takes out a banana from a bowl, then he looks at a magazine on the table that has a house with a garden and he sighs at the sight of it"Man, gardens like these make me sigh, they're so calming, they're so beautiful."He touches the page with his finger"I'd love to drown in nostalgia and think back on when I was a kid while I just lay out in the sun in a garden like this." he licks his finger then turns the page.
"Hey, stop that licking your finger before you turn the page is gross."Mista said.
"Huh, did I do that, me , no way."Narancia said then he startes to cough and then Mista and Roxas saw something come out of his mouth and he starts to peel the banana.
"Hey, there's something hanging from your mouth, talk about gross what the hell is that?"Mista said.
Roxas looks at it and it was tooth shocking him and he said:"It's a tooth?!"
"Wait your right."Mista said as he looks at it closer.
"I can't eat this banana for some reasonm it's all hard and dry."Narancia said as his voice changed as the banana was changing like it was getting older.
"Hey, are you messing with us?"Mista asked nervous" man you startled me, that sort of looks like a tooth, I'm still pretty grossed out so I can't really laugh."
Roxas approaches Narancia slowly and said:"Narancia are you all right?"
"Huh, did you two say something?"Narancia looks up to reveal that he was a old man shocking them" you're both speaking too softly, I couln't hear you both very well, I'm telling you guys that this banana is crumbling, I-I can't eat it, th-they're all dry, all the fruits are dry."
"What the hell is wrong with him?"Mista asked Roxas.
"I don't know I never seen anything like this happen."Roxas said.
Bruno and Trish look to see the change and they were shocked too.
"Are two even paying attention?"Narancia said as he gets up"I can't eat this banana, look it's just crumbling, it's old danm it."Naranica crushes the banana as it crumble.
"Bucciarati."Mista said.
"I know, it's a stand attack, th-there must be on the train."Bruno said.
Narancia touches his head as he pulls out pieces of his hair and said."huh, what, what's this white stuff, it came from my head, what the hell is this?!"
Trish was scared at what she was seeing.
"What's the matter?"they all look at Giorno"did something, happen?" he looks up to reveal he aged too shocking them along with Fugo and Abbacchio.
"Th-they've all aged!"Bruno said.
"How can this be happening?"Roxas asked in shock.
"wh-Who the hell is this?"Narancia said as he looks at his reflection"What, no way, this can't be, this is me." Giorno was shocked at his appearance as well as Narancia continued"what the hell is going on?"
"A-A stand that makes people age?"Mista said as he started to age slowly, he then points his gun to the ceiling"did they figure out we're in this turtle?!"
"Calm down, Mista."Bruno said"if they knew we were inside this turtle, they would've used a more direct attack and since they haven't that means we haven't been found yet, the enemy probably only knows that we're somewhere on this train and in order to find her they're attacking everyone on the train indiscriminately."
Trish noticed that she was slowly aging with Roxas not being effected.
"D-Does that mean this train is running with everyone on board affected?"Mista asked.
"Probably, they're desperate, I'm sure they'll do anything and without a second thought, this leaves us with two choices, one we take Trish and somehow get off this train, two we find this enemy, even though we don't know their range and dispose of them."Bruno said.
"Let's go with the second one the moment we stop the train he will go after us plus he might even have a partner."Roxas said.
"Good point Roxas, I'll deal with it since assassinating is perfect for my sex pistols."Mista said.
"Your both right, but we don't have much time, we're aging at an alarming rate."Bruno said.
Roxas looks at Narancia as he his hands look like they were failing apart as he helped Narancia not fall to the ground.
"We got to stop this before we all die."Roxas said worried.
"You're right, we dont have much time."Mista said as he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, Mista."Giorno said."it's too early, to go."
"What the hell are you talking about, Giorno?"Mista asked.
"I'm telling you, it's too early to go."Giorno said.
"We don't have any time to waste!"Mista said.
"Wait, hear him out, what are you trying to say Giorno?"Bruno asked.
"Why are we all aging at a different rate than Bucciarati?"Giorno said.
This made them think about as Bruno looks at his hand.
"Mista's and my symptoms are light, Trish's are even less while Roxas is okay, but why?"Bruno said.
"Apparently, we're just aging at different rates, I'm going."Mista said.
"No, if they're attacking everyone indiscriminately with age, they might end up killing her as well, despite her being the target."Giorno said.
"He's right if they killed Trish then they would fail."Roxas said.
"There's some kind of prerequisite to how to fast we're aging, I'll tell you what I think, I think the enemy is differentiating between men and women by the difference in their body temperature."Giorno said surprising them.
"I read somewhere that women have more fat in their bodie, which makes them less susceptible to temperature fluctuation, apparently women also age better and live longer than men, don't you think it's been a little hot, the enemy is differentiating the aging speed based on slight differences in body temperature."Giorno said and Roxas looks at his hand to see that he was fine like how Bruno said.
"All that matters is that the men age faster and she ages slower."Giorno said.
"Yeah, that sounds about right but then why are you and I aging at different rates, are you insinuating that I'm a girl?!"Mista said.
"Change in Body temperature."Trish said getting their attention"come to think of it, our bodies were slightly cooler, because we had something cold to drink."
Trish then proves it by taking a piece of ice from her glass to Narancia face as the part was back to normal.
"Giorno, it's exactly like you said."Mista said as he goes to the fridge to get the ice"Everyone cool down with Ice."
"Hold it Mista, you're going to have to take that ice with you."Bruno said.
Mista looks a the tray as it only had two ice cubes, Roxas than thought of an idea as puts Narancia in a chair and said:"I got an idea"They look at him as he brings out Oathkeeper and raises it up"Blizzaga" he shoots a strong ice spell that freezes the walls aroudn leaving the entrance open as they were now returning to normal.
"This way we can avoid the aging process in this freezer."Roxas said as he got tired from the spell.
"Yeah but."Narancia said then he starts shacking because of the cold with Mista too"it's f-freaking freezing now."
"Even so we can fight back in case the enemy appears so good job Roxas, Mista take the Ice and defeat the enemy before the ice melts."Bruno said.
Mista went out to defeat the enemy while Roxas was there to make sure the ice from the turtle didn't vanish as it was needed to keep them from aging.
Note:this is the first part of the Prosciutto and Pesci fight so check out the next one for the real fight, can you guess why Roxas wasn't aging and to answer KingNice92 the Boss and Organization wont meet but I have a plan for the Boss for the future.
