Chapter 434 Man in the Mirror
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
On the streets Fugo was driving with Giorno looking at the map and Freya was looking at it too.
"Are we going the right way?"Fugo asked.
"Yes."Giorno said.
"Hey try the next exit."Freya said.
"That's the longer way."Fugo frowns.
"But it will have less traffic and we can get there faster."Freya said.
"How do you know?"Fugo looks at her.
Abbacchio looks at Fugo worried.
"Theres construction work where your going."Freya said.
"What?!"The guys said.
"Fugo turn before we lost the chance."Giorno said and Fugo turns the car to the next exit.
"How did you know?"Abbacchio asked her.
"Mangle told us when they went out."Chica said.
"I see, they were out."Abbacchio said.
"Narancia that idiot why didn't he tell us."Fugo grunts.
"At least we avoided more time wasted."Giorno said.
They arrived at the area and walked foward, Chica looks around the place and saw a mirror on the wall.
"Why is there a mirror?"She asked.
"Good question."Fugo said and they went up to it.
Fugo then saw a man in the reflection come out from behind a pillar.
"Guys theres a enemy stand user coming."Fugo said without looking.
Chica looks back and said:"Theres no one there."
"What?!"Fugo looks back and to the mirror.
"Is there someone in the mirror?"Freya asked.
"Don't be ridiculous."Abbacchio said.
"We saw abilities like that."Chica said surprising him.
"No, she's right, someone is coming towards this direction."Fugo said.
"Then... Fugo get out of there."Giorno said.
Fugo then pushes them away."No time!"Then they saw vanish.
"Fugo!"Abbacchio said.
Giorno looks at the mirror and said":"He's gone."
Inside the mirror world Fugo was shocked since the wording of the nearby trash can was in reverse.
Illuso comes foward and said:"Well looks like those little girls managed to figure it out, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a stand similar to mine out there."
"Chica, Freya, I should have gotten away."Fugo grunts.
Outside Abbacchio grabs Freya and holds up.
"Abbacchio!"Giorno said.
"Tell me now you little brat! How did you both know about this ability?!"He said.
"We know because Draco told us about a similar stand."Freya said.
"Similar?"He said.
"Yes, it was called Hanged Man, it's a stand that goes inside of reflections and attacks you using your own reflection."Freya said.
"I see, there do exist stands with similar powers, so it gave them a idea what this stand can do."Giorno said.
"Damn it."He puts her down."We need to figure out where Fugo is exactly?"
They then saw a stand appear and it was sitting down, the colors of it was purple with a helmet and it's mouth stiched.
"That's Fugo's stand Purple Haze."Abbacchio said.
"Fugo's stand."Giorno said.
"Yes, if it's here then Fugo must be fighting, he tried to summon his stand but it came here instead."Abbacchio said.
"UBASHAAAAAAA!"It then punches a pillar.
"It punched something back away!"Abbacchio pulls them away.
They saw a bird come by before it falls down.
Giorno saw one of the capsules broken spilling something out."What is that?"
"Its a flesh eating virus that appears when those bulbs break they release it around the stand and will devour anything in contact with it either through breathing or skin contact not telling whats friend or foe even Fugo himself can be affected by it"
"Savage! It strikes like an explosion and disappears like a storm. It's a stand that reflect Fugo's violent nature."
The two girls got surprised and stared at it, Freya looks at the stand and while it was looks scary she also felt sad for it, it's like a creature crying out in pain.
Pain like how many of her friends felt.
"We need to find the key now."Abbacchio said.
"Abbacchio we need to help Fugo!"Giorno said.
Abbacchio glares at him but then the two girls go in between, he looks at them and they stared back, then he got surprised when they had the puppy dog eyes.
He then looks away."Fine, how about this, you three figure out a way while I get the key. So don't screw it up."He runs off.
Freya and Chica high fived each other.
"Okay we need to think of a way, the only entrance it seems if the users drags the victim in."Giorno said.
The girls looked at each other and they might have a idea.
Abbacchio arrives at the part where the key is and sees that it was stuck in between the ground.
He goes to get it but then he saw a mirror shard.
"A mirror."Abbacchio said and he saw Illuso surprising him.
"What is that a key, is that what your trying to get."Illuso said.
Abbacchio tries to grab it but then a arm grabs his, he was then pulled inside.
"Now Man in the Mirror, only allow him entrance."Illuso's stand appears and drags Abbacchio inside.
But then Abbacchio grabs it's neck making Illuso have the same effect.
"What?! But only stand can grab a stand!"Illuso said.
"So only I can enter, then I'll gladly come in."Abbacchio reveals his face showing a counter on his forehead and his eyes were different.
Then it changes into his stand Moody Blues.
"This is a stand!"Illuso said.
Moody Blues hits him down, Abbacchio lifts up the shard and sees through it."Looks like those two were right."
"Man in the Mirror!"Illuso sends his stand to attack but Moody Blues punches him down and steps on it's head.
"Looks like your stand isn't that strong, if I want to get Fugo out i'll just have to kill you."Abbacchio said as his stand goes foward.
Illuso then smiles and takes out a shard."Your done for."He pulls Abbacchio in leaving half as Moody Blues also got cut in half making both sides merge together.
"You bastard!"Abbacchio falls down.
"Not in that state you can't even fight."Illuso said.
Abbacchio smiles and said:"Did you notice something is gone."
Illuso saw the Moody Blues hand was gone."Where did it go?"
"It has the key and now its going towards Giorno."Abbacchio said as the Moody Blues hands flies away while in the real world the real hand does the same.
"No you won't!"Illuso goes around a corner, but then he comes back."Hey Abbacchio look who got it instead."He shows the reflection showing Chica holding it with both hands.
Abbacchio got shocked since she's just kneeling down with Cream Starter in one hand and on the other one a origami shuriken."Chica what are you doing?! Give that to Giorno!"
"Looks like the kid was your biggest mistake as she's just too curious for her own good, she only has a paper star, what she thinks she can scare me."Illuso laughs while Abbacchio grunts."Man in the Mirror bring her inside but leave her stand Cream Starter behind."His stand grabs Chica and drags her inside.
Chica dropped Cream Starter and the key on the floor and she appears only holding the origami while Illuso holds her with one hand.
"Looks like we got the stupid one."Illuso said.
Chica throws the star making him get cut on the side of his face."How cute, a paper cut."
"Damn it Chica!"Abbacchio said.
"Did you really think that would work?"Illuso said.
Chica grabs her hair making him confused, then she pulls making her face rip revealing Freya who was frowning.
"What?!"Illuso drops her in shock while Abbacchio was stunned.
"Freya, but how?"Abbacchio said.
"Chica's stand."She said.
Flashback
She and Chica were in a hidden place and Chica sprays Freya with Cream Starter, she got covered up by it before Freya touches Chica mkaing her form change to that of Chica.
Flashback ends.
"Damn it, I order Man in the Mirror to take the other brats stand, even so your doomed."llluso said.
"Actually, I win."Freya said.
"What?"Illuso then grunts as a vein appears on the side of his face that got cut going where the eye is.
"My stand is called Paper Moon King, it makes any origami I make real."She said.
"So that star was real, even so i'll kill your-"Illuso looks at Abbacchio and got shocked."Who are you?!"
"What?"Abbacchio said.
Illuso wasn't looking at Abbacchio in his vision Abbacchio's head was changed into a business man.
"It seems the second effect of my stand is starting, Prosopagnosia."She said.
"Prosopagnosia!"Illuso said while Abbacchio was stunned.
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, her ability made her take away that ability to see faces, no wonder Draco chose her to come.
"Out of all the stands of the world, I had to fight the one that can do this condition."Illuso said.
"It happenend because you touched the origami I made."She runs off.
"You get back here and change me back!"Illuso chases after her since she's the only one he can see normal.
Abbacchio looks at the mirror and saw the real Chica take the key and Cream Starter."Clever girls."
While Freya was running she was making a origami.
She then thinks that her stand does fit her, a ability to make friends from a girl that killed all alone, being left alone inside a suit, she didn't have real friends until Kazuo saved her.
Fugo was on his knees beaten up and hewas bleeding, he then saw Freya come out and with her hands free.
"Freya?"He got surprised to see her.
She then goes near the trash can and kneels down on to the floor, she takes out a piece of paper and starts to do more origamis.
"Freya what are you doing, this is no time to do that?!"Fugo said.
She looks at him."It's part of my stand."He got surprised.
Illuso was running before a frog origami jumps to his leg making him worried, his stand then hits it away.
He goes around the corner and got shocked, he saw many Fugos there looking at him and he looks around.
What the Fugos are is bird origamis that Freya made, after the frog touched him it made his condition worse now he's seeing them as actual people.
"You damn brat, how dare you use Prosopagnosia against me?!"Illuso said.
"Prosopagnosia, amazing Freya."Fugo looks at her.
Illuso looks around for her and saw a broken mirror on the floor, he saw someone on the other side kneeling down in front of the mirror, it was Chica.
That must be the real one, I need to get her inside and take the key.
"Man in the Mirror allow her to enter!"His stands grabs Chica taking her inside.
"Wait Chica, but that's..."Fugo was confused.
Then her right arm first with boils making the virus infect Illuso's arm.
Illuso screams seeing it infect him."You came here ejthr the virus."The one that he dragged was Giorno and he was kneeling with his arm up.
"Yes, Freya told me about her ability and we decided to trick you."Giorno said.
"Shit, not only do I have Prosopagnosia, I'm also infected, but I won't lose."He jumps up."Man in the Mirror allow me to exit this world."He starts getting sucked in the Mirror shard and screams."But don't let the virus come out, cut off the part of me that's infected."
"Oh no, Giorno, Freya don't let him leave."Fugo said.
But Illuso left making Fugo stunned."Giorno, even after you came here infected."
"Theres still hope."Freya said."Fugo have your stand attack him."
Fugo looks down."I'm sorry but I don't know where he is."But then he saw a brick moving.
"I turned that brick into a snake with Gold Experience, snakes follow a human's body heat."Giorno said.
Illuso was outside screaming holding his arm that was bleeding."Those darn brats."
He then saw the snake looking at him and he just smiles, but then he felt dread behind him.
Purple Haze was behind and grabs him by the neck.
"I got him!"Fugo said.
"Damn it, even after I gathered the courage to cut off my own arm!"Illuso said.
"Get him Purple Haze!"Fugo said.
Illuso looks at the mirror shard for hope but instead of his reflection he saw Purple Haze showing that the Prosopagnosia was still in effect.
He screams before Purple Haze punches him many times making him get infected before his flesh got eaten away.
Fugo saw that they were back in the real world."We did it, when he died his power is gone."
Fugo looks at Giorno who was still infected."But the virus."
"Look at the snake."Freya said and Fugo sees it was fine.
"That snake was born around the virus so it gained immuntity."Giorno said while Gold Experience grabs it.
"Immuntity, then we can make a serum from it."Fugo said.
Gold Experience stabs the snake and shoves the blood inside of Giorno making the serum as he screams in pain.
Fugo stares at him with respect."Giorno you have gained my respect."
"No, the ones that should get it are Abbacchio and Freya."Giorno said.
Freya holds Fugo's making him look at her."No one deserves to be alone."
He got surprised before he smiles at her
Abbacchio was up against a wall with Chica at his side.
"Giorno, you and Freya are crazy."He smiles.
Note: Here's the Man in the Mirror fight, Freya has Paper Moon King from part 8, her ability allowed to defeat Illuso since he got so confused and made mistakes in the fight.
