Chapter 10: Emotions rising in a bizarre town - Part 1
Third point of view
World: Hallowed Bastion
Location: Planning Room
In the projection room as it shows the heroes and the Gummi Ship, Chronos was looking intently at the group. Donald was trying to fly the ship, while Nintega was strangle holding Soejammy.
Soejammy (Projection): Let me at the controls!!
Nintega (Projection): After what I was told about your flying!? No thanks!!
Soejammy (Projection): My neeeeeeed! My neeeeeeed for fast speeeeeeeed!
Nintega (Projection): How long does it take to make him pass out!?
Soejammy was actively trying to move around from lifting his back, bouncing around and even rolling.
Soejammy (Projection): Mika za lombo! Cha ka gobenz!!!
Nintega (Projection): "Let me go! I want to fly!!!" I know what you said, and it ain't happening!!
Soejammy (Projection): Micha chobo makita!
Nintega (Projection): Hey! Keep my mother out of this!!
As the two continued fighting with each other, Kitty came into the cockpit annoyed as she yelled the command.
Kitty (Projection): SIT BOY!!
As Kitty said the command, Soejammy fell down hard on Nintega as the spell even crushed the other as well.
Nintega (Projection): WHY ME!?
Kitty (Projection): I could HEAR you both fighting in MY ROOM, in my SLEEP! Can't a girl sleep to try and recover magic here?! It takes a lot out of you, you know?!
Soejammy (Projection): Not me! I have so much energy, that's why I always blow some off on the duck! You don't see me complaining here!
Nintega (Projection): You trying to kill us both here right now!?
As Soejammy said that, tick marks were appearing on Kitty's head as she stomped up to where Soejammy and Nintega were. Unsure whether it was the tick marks or the annoyed look in her sleepy looking eyes, the two shivered in fear a little.
Kitty (Projection): What I am TRYING to do, is to be able to get enough rest to be able to HELP! To be able to make sure we all get out of this ALIVE as we have no idea what Chronos could be planning! Jammy may be his main target, but we are ALL in this mess! And YOU!
Looking at Soejammy directly for this sentence, Kitty continued what she wanted to say.
Kitty (Projection): Need to stop messing with Donald! We may not have the greatest trust in him, but he's still a member of this team!
Soejammy (Projection): B-But... I love to mess with him...
Kitty (Projection): Then tell me. How are we meant to be able to gain trust and work together better when you keep messing with him to the point he's about ready to explode from anger?
Soejammy looked away and didn't meet Kitty in the eyes as he wanted to say something, but just stopped doing anything. Kitty sighed as she moved to try looking him in the eye.
Kitty (Projection): I understand wanting to mess with him and you do everything out of being scared... But maybe just try and tone it down just a little? At least to show that we can all at least work together in the situations we need that trust?
Soejammy didn't answer as he just remained silent and nodded his head. Kitty remained silent as she looked away before mumbling.
Kitty (Projection): I'm sorry for yelling... I just don't want anyone to be in any more danger than we already are because we can't have any trust...
Soejammy (Projection): I... I understand...
Nintega then lets Soejammy go as Soejammy then gets up to go to his quarters for now while leaving Nintega and Kitty to talk.
Kitty (Projection): Sorry for getting you crushed there, didn't think Jammy was going to fall on you like that.
Nintega (Projection): Someone had to get him to stop. Honestly, he'll listen to you the most if anything. I may like being crazy, but he certainly takes the cake for being the craziest out of all of us. Even when we're dealing with a predicament...
Kitty (Projection): He may have admitted in Tarzan's world he messes around because of being scared with everything going on... But everyone else is just as scared...
Nintega (Projection): Not to mention with Chronos being here in this universe... It's just... What if something else comes along and then tries to get in our way like Chronos...?
Kitty went silent as she got lost in her thoughts at that, before shaking her head to get rid of the bad thoughts.
Kitty (Projection): It's... We can't deny that's a possibility... But are we going to be strong enough to deal with any more threats...? We can't even stop Chronos as we would be... Well he wouldn't let us get close to trying anything... But what if he got any allies...? Other than any villains from all the worlds we have to go to. If Chronos gets any more powerful allies... I don't think Jammy's knowledge will help out at this rate...
In the projection, Chronos could see Kitty and Nintega still talking to each other, but off to the side in the corner, Soejammy had been listening in on all of this as he then finally went back to his room with a sad expression on his face.
Chronos: Hmph. Pathetic. Letting mere words crush his spirit like this. Makes me sick looking at him. His whole existence makes me sick.
???: And neither should your existence be here as well, invader.
Hearing a voice behind him, Chronos stayed still as he kept his back to the individual.
Chronos: So, you finally decide to show yourself, not surprising to be honest.
???: And yet, yours is. You're ruining what is meant to be the making of what is destined, do you know that?
Chronos: I do. But the makings of this universe are not of my concern. If the universe has tools I can use for my disposal, I will take great pride until they are broken. Even the so-called "villains" I must lead. Incompetent, all of them.
???: What IS exactly your end goals?
Chronos didn't need to look at the individual that asked the question as Chronos answered it.
Chronos: My goals are of none to concern you. It would be unwise to tell my plan, when you announced you had your own in the makings. But if I remember, you're not supposed to be here as well. Why are you here if there is a master plan at work?
The individual was silent before giving a chuckle of their own.
???: Very clever of you to counter that with a question on another question. You are not so easily tricked.
Chronos: This coming from the man who tricked the Witch to do his bidding secretly? You're not one to say anything really.
???: I must admit, Maleficent was part of the plans I had set due to..."circumstances." But I never would have seen this happen. Your existence here is... VERY not in the lines of time.
Chronos: Then you have very little knowledge. With the presence of new people in this universe, your knowledge of time is lost now.
The individual then held up a hand behind Chronos as the man in the armor sensed evil intent. The two stood there with each doing nothing as the individual spoke.
???: This meeting was never meant to happen. What you are doing is ruining things. Who are you?
Chronos looked behind him softly as if not threatened by the slightest at what was going on.
Chronos: And you are making a mistake in wanting to threaten me.
???: I could strike you down where you stand.
Chronos: Oh really? You are wanting to attack? Well then, why don't you try then. Strike me, if you dare.
Being challenged, the individual was about to move to cast a spell, but then felt a punch hit him in the chest as he looked down to see Chronos had turned and lowered his stance with his arm extended out. The attack landed on the individual's stomach as the force then sent him into the wall.
Chronos: You may have powers of time travel to bring your essence around. But in terms of raw power and combat, I will ALWAYS over power yours. You are but a child in the face of my capabilities, Xehanort.
Chronos looked at the individual as it was revealed to be Xehanort, but the younger form of himself. Casting Curaga, Xehanort was able to heal the pain he felt in his stomach and looked at Chronos.
Xehanort (Younger): You know of me?
Chronos: Man who gains knowledge from that of his future-self, the ability to time travel and seeks to make another organization to have multiple plans and contingencies in case one plan fails. Your Heartless, Ansem, came to you from the future to give you instructions. His mission is to gather the 7 Princesses of Heart to make a world of Hearts door of Kingdom Hearts. His "Nobody" of course, Xemnas, is making a door of people's Hearts. Making the intentions of turning the people he has gathered to then configured to then have their hearts be molded into his will. If both your Heartless and "Nobody" fail to complete their objectives, you are tasked to bring those with the Heart of all Xehanort's through time, to allow them to meet in the future. Thus, thrusting a new Keyblade War to begin once again. Did I miss anything of that sort?
Xehanort looked at Chronos silently with no words to answer that question while Chronos turned his back to him.
Chronos: Then keep your mouth silent before jumping into another's schemes...
Xehanort (Younger): If you know who I am... Why let me live?
Chronos: Because you pose no threat to me. And facing someone as weak as you are, is not worth my time. If most, you're entertainment for me.
Xehanort glared at Chronos for the insult as he was being toyed with.
Xehanort (Younger): Then why leave me alive. If you know what we are capable of-
Chronos: Because I believe you'll find my "service" a great help to you.
Xehanort (Younger): What are you implying?
Chronos looked at Xehanort and walked up to him.
Chronos: Because I know something that you don't even on the terms of... A "certain" wayfinder you faced before.
Xehanort became confused when hearing that as he was more confused than ever.
Xehanort (Younger): What do you mean?
Chronos: Take a look. You might find something interesting.
Xehanort stepped forward to look at the projection of what was going on and saw Kitty and Nintega.
Xehanort (Younger): And who is this I am looking at?
Chronos looked at Xehanort as he was going to ask what the problem was, but soon began to chuckle and laugh at realizing something.
Xehanort (Younger): And what is so funny?
Chronos: Nothing. Just, nothing. You'll see soon enough.
Xehanort raised his eyebrow as Chronos and Xehanort talked about what plan they were coming up with.
Location: Space, Inside Gummi Ship
Inside the ship, Riku was practicing his sword swings against a training dummy as some sweat was forming on his forehead from strengthening his swings. Sora was walking around as he came across Riku during his training.
Sora: Oh, hey Riku.
Hearing his name being called out, Riku looked towards Sora's direction.
Riku: Oh, Sora.
The air around the room was somewhat different with the two of them alone like this. What had happened in Agrabah left somewhat sour tastes in their mouths after what Jafar had said to them. It hurt Sora to even think about it as he looked at Riku to ask a question.
Sora: So... Um...
Riku: If you're going to ask about what happened in Agrabah, don't ask it.
As if being read like a book, Sora was surprised.
Sora: How did-!?
Riku: What Jafar said must've left a sour opinion about me in your head... Look... I did stay with them, but it was more being taken care of under their wings. At first I thought it was because they were helping me. I would sometimes hear about Chronos when others talked about him, but I didn't think it would drive Maleficent into hiding...
Sora was silent at this as the topic was hard on them all. Donald and Goofy were wary of Riku now due to circumstances, but Sora didn't want to believe Riku wasn't bad in his own rights.
Sora: Well, I still believe in you!
Riku was surprised by what Sora said as Sora held a fist out for Riku.
Sora: I've known you since we were little! There's no way you would betray your friends and harm others like this!
Riku looked at Sora and smiled softly to meet his fist for a fist bump.
Riku: Thank you, Sora.
The two looked at each other before Sora looked at the training dummy.
Sora: Oh, so you're using Jammy's make-shift practice target?
Riku: Huh? This is Jammy's?
Sora: Yeah... It used to have more feathers on it, before he burned them all off...
The closer Riku looked, the more it did have a more round physique with a burnt wooden bill.
Riku: You know, I could see that being Donald. He's usually on fire really.
Sora: He isn't chill at least.
Riku: It's not shocking how he's Jammy's target at least.
The two looked at each other as they both began to share a laugh together based on the times Soejammy had tortured Donald.
Sora: If Donald heard us making puns like Jammy does, he would be getting on us.
Riku: It'll be our little secret.
The two smiled in their bond forming closer than before. With circumstances still being high, they enjoyed the peace they could.
Riku: Let's see where we're heading next. At least without Jammy flying, we're able to get some rest.
Sora: Trust me... You don't want to know how we landed at this one other world. We LITERALLY crashed...
Riku: And very glad Nintega was keeping Jammy away from the controls this time...
Sora: No, be glad he hasn't come up with a weird name for you...
Putting his sword away, Riku and Sora began to head towards the cockpit as Kitty and Nintega were there to greet them. But there was no sighting of Soejammy in the cockpit.
Riku: Hey, where's Jammy?
Kitty looked to the side, looking through the window to hide the guilt she felt, feeling she was too harsh on Soejammy.
Kitty: I don't know. He did go back to his room last night. But I haven't seen him all day today...
Nintega: I'm sure he's fine.
Kitty: I really hope so...
Donald chuckled to himself as he called out to Kitty.
Donald: Well, if he stays in that room, I don't mind oooooone bit!
Goofy looked at Donald as he seemed guilty of what Donald said.
Goofy: But, uh, Donald...? Jammy has been trying to be helpful to us all too. Maybe one of us should-
Donald: That guy has been causing nothing, but trouble this whole time!!! I would rather keep him AWAY from me while we go to other worlds!!! He causes nothing, but chaos and destruction to my feathers every time he uses magic on me! If he wants to stay on the ship and sleep, let him!!
Both Nintega and Kitty looked at each other annoyed before glaring at Donald, hating how Jammy is being treated.
Nintega: How dare you... How DARE you speak about him that way! He may be chaotic, and can cause trouble, but he ALWAYS looks out for his friends!
Kitty: I may be trying to get Jammy to make it so we can get trust for everyone, but it would all be futile dealing with YOU not even giving anyone a chance, especially Jammy! Or are we all just burdens to you still?
Nintega: Yeah, sure Jammy is crazy most of the time! But that doesn't mean he doesn't know the situation we're all in!
Donald stopped the ship and turned the chair around to look at Nintega and Kitty.
Donald: Name something Jammy did that kept ME safe!?
Kitty: Jammy saved you from Sabor in Tarzan's world, AFTER he began to stress out! Jammy ACTS crazy, because that's his only way of dealing with stress!! You take that away from him, you're basically making him not able to vent his frustrations!
Donald: And what if he loses control and hurts one of us!? What happens then!?
Kitty: ...You're scared of Jammy losing control of the darkness? He's scared of EVERYONE losing their LIVES!
Nintega: What's more important to you? Your feathers or your life?
Donald: Both!!
Riku walked up to Donald as he looked him dead in the eyes with how much Soejammy was going through.
Riku: At least he's doing something! From what I hear, he sure cares about the safety of his friends around him more than you do.
Donald: Excuse me!?
Riku: Yeah, you heard what I said. Sora and the others have told me what has happened while you all traveled. Jammy has helped to try and clear Alice's name, fought to protect his friends, saved you even when Jammy messed with you, fought against Hades, risked his life every time, and fought a armored Heartless in Traverse Town before you and the others joined to help him! If anything, he has been doing a LOT more considering he knows the risks! He knows the dangers Chronos is capable of, because his way of keeping calm is by not acting serious when needing to be!
Donald: Don't you dare yell in MY face!
Riku: Really? Because you sure know how to do that every time.
Donald: Why I ought a-!!
Donald was about to jump at Riku, but not before Nintega widened his eyes and looked at what was ahead of them.
Nintega: WHAT IS THAT!?
Looking where Nintega was pointing, the group then saw a vortex as it had just suddenly appeared in front of them.
Kitty: Nononononono! NOT AGAIN! Nintega, buckle up fast, this is going to be a bumpy ride!
Nintega: What is goin-
Kitty: Unless you want to crash against something when we are SUCKED into that vortex to some UNKNOWN WORLD, buckle up!!
Donald turned his chair back to the controls as he did his best to get the ship away from the vortex as everyone else got buckled up into a chair for safety. The Gummi Ship tries to fly against the pull like before, but they soon get pulled in with the Gummi Ship shaking and spinning.
Kitty: I hate the spin cycle!!!
Nintega: SO! MUCH! FLUSHING!!
This was the last scream to be heard before the Gummi ship was fully pulled in and everyone was sent to a whole new world.
World: Bizarre Town
As the camera goes across the streets, Japanese letters bounce across the screen with two silhouettes then punching at each other. When the letters came between the two, the letters were being punched as well with one final punch revealing the world name to be Bizarre Town. The one silhouette pointing to the side with a golden hand button on the lower corner of the title. The Gummi Ship was coming down hard as lightning struck the ship and caused the ship to spit out the people in the cockpit. The group was diving towards the streets near a restaurant before the group crashed and rolled against the ground. With how hard they all landed, they were groaning with some scratches made apparent with the damage they took. The ship then glows a light before disappearing.
Riku: So... That's what a crash landing feels like...
Sora: Nothing what I felt when crashing into a treehouse... Ouch...
Donald: Okay... I know the idiot didn't crash the ship this time, but that doesn't count...
Kitty: Wait... Jammy wasn't in the cockpit... Was he still on the ship...???
Nintega got up to look around as he looked around his surroundings.
Nintega: Jammy isn't here with us... Then he must... But if he didn't get launched out like we did... Doesn't that mean he crashed inside it...!?
Kitty: Donald, Goofy... Is there ANY way to be able to get back on the ship to check on him?!
Goofy got up as he shook his head to get the dizziness out of him.
Goofy: Sure can. We just need to get to the ship that crashed by us.
Looking around, the Gummi Ship wasn't around the area one bit as Goofy became unsure.
Goofy: If...it even here...?
Donald: Of course it would be here, we just crashed out of it!
Donald says, but became unsure of his own statement as he looked around to see no Gummi ship in sight.
Donald: WHERE IS MY SHIP?!
Nintega: "Your" ship?
Donald: I drive it, my ship.
Nintega: Last time we checked, it was the "groups" ship. Not just yours. Jeez... Now I know how Jammy feels about wanting to roast him...
Kitty snickered at that statement as the others were trying not to laugh, Goofy holding Donald back before he could attack Nintega.
Donald: SAY THAT AGAIN?!
Nintega: You heard me. I heard about what you did with the others back in Traverse Town! You may be a teammate, but that's no way to treat friends. Not one bit at all.
Nintega says this while looking into nothing while waving his finger. Donald was trying to break free from Goofy's grip, but Riku and Sora got in between the pair.
Riku: That's enough! We all hate Donald, or have some distrust in him, but we have a bigger situation on our hands right now!
Sora: Exactly! Like finding how to get back to the Gummi Ship and finding out WHERE exactly we ended up!
Kitty: Umm... Aren't we forgetting someone...?
Sora: Oh right, and finding Mini-Nep.
Riku: Finding BOTH Mini-Nep AND Soejammy.
Sora and Donald: Do we have to?
Riku, Nintega and Kitty: YES!
???: Okuyasu said he's got a cold, but he's obviously just skipping! I'm gonna go to his house and teach him a lesson!
Nintega's ears perked up as he had a sudden feeling surge through him.
Nintega: No...
Kitty: Nintega? What's wrong???
Nintega: It can't be!
Riku: What? Are we under attack?
Nintega: EVEN BETTER!!! Looooooooook!!
Pointing in the direction Nintega was looking at, the group could see two people in a conversation, one was shorter than the other, but knew each other. They were both students that went to school together as one is taller than the other. The shorter person is known as Koichi, the person with the funny hairdo that could perch a bird on is Josuke. A tick mark appears on Josuke's forehead as he looks around angrily.
Josuke: Okay! Someone just made fun of my hair!!!
Koichi: Calm down, Josuke! I didn't hear anyone!
Josuke: I can feel it!!!
Donald just looked at the group and gave a deadpanned look.
Donald: Who are these palookas...? That tall one looks funny... Even his h-
Kitty was backing up very fast away from Nintega, who went super Sonic speed and got right in front of Donald in the blink of an eye.
Nintega: SAY THAT WORD THAT COMES OUT, AND YOU WILL DIE BY MY HAND INSTEAD!!!
Donald was shocked to have Nintega in his face for once as he was just trembling.
Donald: WHY!? All I was going to do was talk about his ha-
Nintega: I'm not warning you again, Duck!!!
Donald: Hair! What is wrong with talking about someone's hair!? It looks ridiculous!!!
Josuke: Oi, talking duck...
Donald quacked as he then looked to his side to see Josuke right there in front of him as a menacing aura filled the air. Goofy moved away to get away from the aura as Donald was shivering because of this. Josuke bent down to look Donald more in the eyes with a wicked grin.
Josuke: Did you just insult my hair?
Donald: I- Um-
Josuke: Am I led to believe that you are the one that called my hair to be a perch post for a bird?
Donald: I NEVER SAID THAT!!! ARE YOU AN IDIOT!? WHAT IS WITH YOU AND THAT HAIR, YOU PALOOKA!?!?
Before Donald could say anything else, Doanld was then punched into the air by an invisible force, before being pummeled viciously.
Josuke: Don't you dare make fun of my hair, you jackass!!!
Finishing up the attack, Donald was then slammed to the concrete as he was groaning in pain while shivering in fear.
Donald: I still don't understand why...
Nintega crept up to Donald as he whispered into the Duck's ear.
Nintega: That's because he has a deep admiration for that hairstyle as someone with that same haircut helped him and his mom one winter when he was a baby. Anyone who makes fun of it will instantly regret it. I tried to warn ya.
Donald: Next time... Say it faster...
Nintega: Hmm? Sorry, I don't speak pummeled duck language. To be understood, try someone who gives a damn.
Donald was regretting not having Soejammy here now as Nintega is just as bad, if not, worse.
Donald: Can someone heal me please?!
Josuke: Yeah, I can do that.
Donald: What?
Josuke: I can heal you, but only on the condition you NEVER speak a word about my hair again.
If Donald hadn't already been pummeled and in need of healing, he would have said something snarky in response. But having learnt, well hopefully learnt, not to say anything about the hair he just nodded.
Donald: Fine, whatever! Just heal me!
Josuke: Okay.
Touching Donald on the head, the duck soon began to feel his body healing up fast as he looked at himself.
Donald: What spell did you use to do that?
Josuke: "Spell"? What do you mean?
Koichi: And how does a duck talk...?
Goofy: If you ever wondered if a dog talked, I'm right here.
Koichi: THE DOG IS TALKING TOO!?
Kitty: Every time someone points that out... And yet no one ever had the answer to that question...
Josuke and Koichi looked at each other and looked at the group.
Josuke: You guys... Some sort of foreigners or something?
Sora: You uh... Could say that. We... Were traveling and had a rough landing here.
Riku: We lost our vehicle and one of our friends... We're trying to find out where we are and where our friend is.
Koichi: Oh, well, if that's the case, welcome to Morioh. We can answer any questions you may have if you need any advice or help.
???: Okay, then let me ask this. What timeline is this?
Hearing another voice, Nintega looked over to the side and began to stare at who had just arrived.
Nintega: If Jammy was here right now, he would be seriously losing his shit.
Kitty: Why?
Nintega simply pointed in a certain direction as Kitty looked, her eyes widening at seeing who was talking. Jotaro Kujo, Soejammy's favorite character with his favorite Stand, Star Platinum.
Kitty: No way this is really happening...
Nintega: THIS IS LITERALLY HAPPENING!!!
Jotaro: Will you be quiet?! You all have been yelling this whole time! It's getting damn annoying!
The area got quiet fast as Nintega just gave a blank stare.
Nintega: Okay.
Jotaro: Okay, what is the time?
Koichi: Uh... It's about... 7 o'clock in the morning. Josuke and I were- Hmm?
Koichi looked at Jotaro as he noticed something.
Koichi: Have... We met somewhere?
Jotaro: What the hell are you talking about?
Josuke: Hey, your name wouldn't happen to be Jotaro, right?
Jotaro: And how do you know that?
Josuke and Koichi freaked out as they were about to ask questions, but Nintega stepped in.
Nintega: Jotaro here is from the past before he ever met you two, meaning we're seeing him in his prime after fighting DIO as some complications have then opened time rifts to allow others to come and go from timelines from the past and/or future. How he got here was because of an item called: The Holy Corpse!
The others just stare at Nintega as Josuke and Koichi begin to laugh at how stupid it was that time travel is happening, but Jotaro wasn't as he then instantly moved like Chronos does and had Nintega already lifted into the air.
Jotaro: Okay, since you know more of what's going on, just HOW did you know I'm from the past AND after I fought DIO?
Nintega: Um... I feel like I want to say the internet... But-
Nintega was then thrown into a wall as he crashed through the window of the store near them.
Nintega: I deserved that!
The group winced hard or shivered in fear at how Jotaro instantly lifted Nintega and moved like Chronos, not wanting to make him mad and be thrown into a wall or through a window of a convenience store.
Riku: Okay! Okay! We're not from HERE here! We come from another world!
Donald: Oh the King is going to be mad about lack of world order...
Josuke: "From another world"??? Oh, yeah. We do know a guy that "claims" to be from outer space. Maybe they're his distant relatives...?
The group just stared at Josuke as Kitty looked at Nintega and whispered to him.
Kitty: That can't be true... Right?
Nintega: Nope, they ACTUALLY meet a guy that claims he is an alien. Even ate a pack of tissues thinking it was Earth food.
Kitty: And this just got even weirder...
Nintega: You mean bizarre~?
All Kitty did was just bonk Nintega's head, causing him to yelp.
Nintega: What was that for?!
Kitty: This is not the time for jokes!
Nintega: Come on! Jammy got to make jokes!
Kitty: Must we talk about the cave of wonders and what Jammy AND you did there...?
Nintega raised a hand as he wanted to speak, but Kitty then covered his mouth.
Kitty: YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SPEAK ABOUT IT!!! MOUTH. SHUT!
Nintega then crossed his arms and then began to write down what he was wanting to say as it read "If we're going to go into semantics"- Kitty then punched Nintega to then fly into the other window of the convenience store nearby and yelled at him.
Kitty: WRITING IT OUT IS CHEATING!!! Ugh... You are seriously a damn pain sometimes! You AND Jammy!! Still question how I have sanity with you two..
Nintega popped his head up with glass shards in his hair with a smile.
Nintega: But you still love us~
Kitty: I TOLERATE you two...
Nintega: Proving my point about you being a Tsun-
Before he even finished his sentence, Kitty gave a closed eyed smile with the claws out on one hand.
Kitty: I'm sorry, were you going to say something Simpega~?
Nintega shivered as he picked up some glass shards and dropped them on his head.
Nintega: Doing the pain for you!!
Seeing this, Kitty retracts her claws to facepalm.
Kitty: You're an idiot. I never do that, I NEVER say about pain! It's only a new hairstyle!
Nintega: HEY! LEAVE MY HAIR OUT OF THIS!!!
Kitty: You've always said you like Josuke's hairstyle! I can always try giving it you~
With the mention of Josuke's hair being mentioned again, Josuke was behind Kitty with an angry glare as he clenched his fists.
Josuke: Why is EVERYONE making fun of my hair today!?
Kitty tensed as she turned around quickly and waved her hands frantically.
Kitty: I wasn't making fun of it, I promise! I actually really like your hairstyle and so does Nintega!
Josuke looked like a vein was going to snap, before he crouched down and looked at Kitty.
Josuke: Really??? Well, thank you! Tell your friend I said thanks as well!
Nintega: JOSUKE SAID THANK YOU TO ME!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Covering her ears against the screams of the crazy fan boy, Kitty looked at Josuke with a smile.
Kitty: You're welcome. And sorry about the duck insulting your hair earlier.
Josuke: Eh, no worries. If he does again, I can just beat him down with Crazy Diamond.
Some of the others were confused by what Josuke was saying as Nintega brought it up with a whiteboard and marker.
Nintega: Josuke's Stand is the manifestation of his soul, a being that stands beside him and others in combat. Josuke's is Crazy Diamond, a healing stand with fast and precise punches. His main ability is able to heal objects, and heal injuries on others too. Koichi has a similar stand, but his Stand is able to change forms and have different abilities. The most strongest there is to him is Echoes Act 3 as he is able to make others really heavy from gravitational force. And Jotaro's is Star Platinum, an ultimate stand that is ABLE to stop time!!!
Nintega was fanboying this so much that he basically was just going wild during this. Josuke, Koichi and Jotaro approached Nintega with glares from how he gave the presentation.
Jotaro: How do you know the existence of Stands?
Josuke: Are you another Stand User?
Nintega began to sweat as he was about to say something, but looked at all of them.
Nintega: Listen, I know it's a surprise, but we're really friends here! Honest!
Jotaro: And how exactly can we know that's true? You and the others come here from who knows where, and YOU have been giving away all the information on us.
Koichi: No one should know that much information without learning it... Not even the alien knew that much....
Josuke: You better have a good explanation... Or you better hope to have a way to heal...
Nintega was sweating hard before a new voice joined in.
???: How about instead of focusing on the lowlife, how about you take me on, Jotaro Kujo.
Hearing the name being called out, the group then turned towards a new person, someone that Josuke and Koichi knew well. It was Okuyasu Nijimura, a friend of Josuke and Koichi, but was also the Stand User of The Hand!
Nintega: And... Shit is about to get real...
Riku: What do you mean...?
Nintega: I mean that we have to be careful of this guy. His Stand, The Hand, literally can erase the space of people AND erase them as well.
Riku: Oh, well... That is bad...
???: And it would seem that there are unnecessary people to join the readings. How... Boring...
Another man came along as he stood in a relaxed way while being calm, this was another friend of Josuke and Koichi. His name is Rohan Kisibe.
Koichi: R-Rohan!?
Rohan: But, I couldn't help but overhear everything that was going on. In fact, with new information coming to me, how can I possibly resist letting such details escape me today. I think I'll make sure to turn you all into books. Even the Neko over there.
Glares were sent Nintega's way from the group, as all Nintega could do was smile sheepishly.
Nintega: Hehe... Umm... Oops? Did I forget to mention about a Stand user being able to turn people into books to look into their memories?
Kitty: If I get turned into a book, and something embarrassing happens, I will make you suffer. A scratching post always sounds like a good idea~ Or a target dummy to practice magic~
Nintega: Please not the tips of my hair... Anything but the hair...
Kitty: Target dummy it is then.
As the group was about to start, Josuke got in the way.
Josuke: Hey! You can't fight this battle! Do you know what a Stand is or looks like!?
Sora, Riku, Donald and Goofy all looked at each other as they didn't think about not even knowing how a Stand looks. Kitty had a little knowledge, but didn't want to fight something she couldn't see, Nintega the only confident and cocky one.
Nintega: Hey, you know what knowledge I have! Taking a Stand down should be easy! Just go for the main person controlling them!
Jotaro: DON'T BE SO IDIOTIC!!! DO YOU WANT TO DIE IMMEDIATELY!?
Nintega froze as he almost wanted to charge out there, but looked at Jotaro.
Nintega: What!?
Jotaro: Normal people can't see Stands!! Only other Stand Users can see them!!
Josuke: Unless you have a death wish, you best get somewhere safe.
Koichi: I agree with Josuke, this is one fight best to avoid!
Nintega: And leave you all to this mess!? No way!! At least let us stay and watch!!
Jotaro growled in anger as he just turned his back to them.
Jotaro: Fine... But don't say we didn't warn you.
It was 3 against 2. Jotaro, Koichi, and Josuke vs Rohan and Okuyasu. Strange energies began to appear on Rohan and Okuyasu as they grew a wicked smile before raising their hand up.
Rohan and Okuyasu: Come out! Heartless!!!
Widening their eyes, the Heartless then appeared as tiny ruffians with knives ready to slash at anyone. Jotaro, Koichi and Josuke were shocked as now they were the ones outnumbered.
Jotaro: N-NANI!?
Josuke: What the hell ARE these things?!
Sora: They're called Heartless! We can take care of these guys!
Koichi: How do you even fight these creatures???
Nintega: With these!
Saying this, Nintega got out his Keyblade followed by Sora and Kitty. The Heartless seemed drawn to the Keyblades as they left the Stand Users quickly to handle the Keyholders.
Nintega: Jotaro! You know how to free Okuyasu and Rohan! Focus on them, we got this here!!!
Jotaro looked at Nintega with a side glance before facing towards Rohan and Okuyasu. The battle began as the Stand Users began to fight while being careful of taking damage themselves. Okuyasu would try sending The Hand on trying to bring Josuke closer to them. When this trick was done, Josuke anticipated this as he then summoned out Crazy Diamond to grab hold of The Hand to defend himself. Rohan began trying to make a sign of Heaven's Door as he felt punches to his hand to see it was Koichi in using Echoes Act 3 to cause a gravitational field and make Rohan feel heavier. Appearing behind Okuyasu, Jotaro used his free hand to deliver a hard punch to Okuyasu's head to send him spiraling against the ground as he looked at Josuke.
Jotaro: Hey. Help your friend. I got this right here.
Josuke: Okay, but be careful! Okuyasu's stand can erase the space in front of him and bring objects closer to him! If his right hand touches you, you'll be a goner!
Jotaro: Thanks for the tip.
As the fighting still kept happening, the others were just out on the side as Jotaro and Okuyasu were just posing while Josuke and Koichi were staring at Rohan.
Donald: I'm so confused... Are they fighting, or are they not???
Nintega: They're attacking alright. But not with their physical fists. They have manifestations known as Stands. You can call it a form of ESP, but it's much more complicated than that. Basically, they are using their souls to fight against each other. Watch Jotaro and Okuyasu real quick.
Looking at the two, Jotaro made a pose as Okuyasu was sent flying towards a wall.
Nintega: See? Jotaro made his Star Platinum send Okuyasu and his stand, "The Hand" plummeting towards the wall.
Donald did not have the look of amusement as he then looked at Nintega.
Donald: For once... COULD YOU NOT ACT CRAZY LIKE JAMMY!!!
Nintega: I am telling the truth, sir!!
Kitty: Much as I hate admitting it... He is sadly telling the truth...
Donald: Kitty, no offense, but there is no way something invisible to the naked eye could- WAK!!
Donald was then suddenly pulled away as the duck looked around himself before being lifted into the air by an invisible force.
Donald: Hey! Put me down!
Okuyasu: If you say so.
Okuyasu then commands his stand to throw Donald as Jotaro moves out of the way to let Donald crash into another wall.
Nintega: Believe us now, you stupid duck!?
All Donald could do was grumble under his breath while sliding down the wall he crashed into.
Donald: I did not sign up for any of this...
Nintega: Yes you did! It's in the fine contract!
Nintega then pulls out a fake contract as he then opens it to reveal in big letters of how Donald signed up for the chaos and damages they apply.
Donald: I DIDN'T SIGN ANY CONTRACT!!!
Goofy: Gawrsh, did I sign any?
Donald: NO YOU DIDN'T!!!
Jotaro: Hey. Could you be quiet? You're really getting on my nerves with the yelling.
Donald: Try being with this palooka's and then say that for an entire journey!
Kitty: Will you just listen??? Do you seriously want to make anyone with invisible forces we can't see mad???
Donald: I still call baloney about how I was "thrown" into a wall.
Nintega: Then you will be shocked with what others might join. One can make you burst into flames.
Sora: Not like that isn't normal for Donald already.
Riku: With his short temper? Agreed.
Goofy: He sure can be hot headed.
Donald: I AM LITERALLY RIGHT HERE!!!
Nintega: And???
Before Donald could prove everyone's point by bursting into flames, Josuke got everyone's attention to get back on track.
Josuke: OI! Argue later unless you want to be turned into a book!
Donald: What???
Rohan: Let's see what you have.
Getting behind Donald, Rohan then showed Donald a manuscript of Heaven's Door. From seeing the form of Rohan's stand, Donald's face opened up like a book as Rohan could see Donald's abilities.
Rohan: Ah, I see. A court wizard from another world. Explains the whole talking and human-like personality. Let's see what I can do.
Josuke: ROHAN! WHAT ARE YOU-!?
As Josuke was about to try and stop Rohan, the man himself began to write in Donald's mind as he closed the pages up.
Donald: What the HECK was that!?
When looking at Josuke, Donald felt his arm lose control as he summoned his staff and casted Fira at him.
Josuke: AAAHHHH!!!
Using Crazy Diamond, Josuke punched the ground and had it reform as a shield in front of him as the magic crashed into it.
Nintega: HEY!!! DON'T ATTACK HIM!!!
Donald: THIS IS NOT MY INTENTION!!! I LOST CONTROL!!!
Donald casted Blizzara as the ice magic crashed into the wall again.
Josuke: Damn!! Rohan!! Did you implant a command to have this crazy duck attack me!?
Rohan: Whatever gave you THAT idea?
Josuke: Damn you!!
Donald: I can't control my magic!!
Donald then casted Thunder as it then struck Josuke from above him as the electrical current paralyzed him.
Josuke: AUUUUUUUGH!!!
Koichi: Josuke!!
Koichi looked at Rohan as he balled up his fists.
Koichi: Rohan-senpai, I don't want to hurt you, but if I have to, I must make sure I knock you out!
Rohan: Well, then don't go easy on me.
As the two stared down at each other, Koichi was about to summon Echos, but Nintega then came from behind and began to beat the shit out of Rohan!!
Nintega: HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY FAVORITE PERSON!!! I WILL BEAT YOU SO HARD, IT WILL BE LIKE JAMMY PUNISHING BEAT!!!
Looking at where Nintega used to be, a dust cloud of his form was there for a moment before Kitty waved it to disappear.
Kitty: HOW DO THEY DO THAT!?
With Rohan knocked out, Donald felt control of his arm be regained as he quickly made his staff disappear.
Donald: Why did I do that!?
Nintega: Rohan's Stand, Heaven's Door, can make your body become like a book and implant suggestions that can't be refused. He must've put a command to make you attack Josuke with your magic attacks to keep him at bay. Knocking him out of having him lift the command himself is the only way to stop his stand power.
Donald: I hate this world already...
Later...
After some mishaps and encounters, the team followed Jotaro and his ever growing group of allies as they went from one timeline to another in search of a mystical artifact called: The Holy Corpse parts. From Jolyne's timeline, to Josuke Part 8's timeline, to Johnny Joestar's, Johnathan Joestar, and Joseph Joestar's timeline when he was in his youth. Talk about getting your Joseph Joestars getting mixed up. The group was back in Moriho as they began to discuss about the situation. Kitty and the others were with each other to discuss their plans. From what they learned, Kitty, Nintega, and Sora were able to see slightly off of Stand's residual energies. Giving a holo form with their energy manifesting to have some sort of an edge. Depending on the nature of the world, the Keyblades seemed to help define the laws of physics, but those who didn't were left to hang on the side as moral support. They were even worried about how even good hearted friends that the Joestars knew were turned enemies and easily able to summon the Heartless.
Kitty: Are we almost done? I feel we haven't even reached the end...
Nintega: Nope, still got a ways to go. And no end to the Heartless appearing in every battle...
Riku: How can we even fight against these Stand Users even??? At most, we're only able to help fight against those without one or the Heartless. We'd be putting ourselves in danger without seeing anything.
Sora: If only Jammy was here... I wonder if he could have shed some light or something.
Donald: NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!! I RATHER TAKE ON WHAT WE GOT WITHOUT HIM!!
Riku: Do you even realize how much we're struggling???
Goofy: And Jammy always seems to know about the worlds we get sucked into, his knowledge would be the best right now for everyone. He may drive you mad, but any help we can get is needed...
Donald: I rather be dead than have to listen to that idiot!!!
???: Well, that can be arranged then. Ke ke ke~
Kitty: Oh, do we have to hear her again...? Why is she back!?
Hearing a voice, everyone looked towards who was speaking as it was revealed to be Enyaba. A Stand User who was loyal to DIO during Part 3 of the JoJo series. She was short, but old for her age. Her Stand was Justice, a mist-like being with a colossal range for an ability and able to bring the dead back to life as lifeless puppets. One good cut, and slowly someone would begin to fall under her control based on where the holes on a body were made.
Donald: WAK!!! Not her again!!!
Enyaba: Ke ke keke~ Hello there, little ducky~
Donald: Get away from me! You almost made me go into a fire pit the last time!!
Riku: What I want to know is, why is Donald a victim of everything related to fire...?
Donald: That question better not be answered with a dumb one!!!
Nintega: Fine. I won't say because Donald's on fire.
Donald: I SAID NO DUMB ONES!!!
Kitty: Being serious, it's because we have two dumbos that love using him as practice. And it just somehow ended up becoming a running gag...
Donald began to fume hard as his hat flew off like a steam whistle.
Donald: IT IS NOT A RUNNING GAG!!!
Nintega: Really? Could have fooled me.
Riku: And Jammy if he was here.
Donald: DO NOT SPEAK FOR HIM!!!
Sora: But it is the truth.
Donald's hat remained in the air as he kept fuming, unsure whether to hate the lady who almost sent him into fire or the group for the jokes and mentioning the forbidden name more.
Joseph (Old): Hey! Shut up! We're in danger right now! Do you realize we need to keep a clear head! This isn't the time to be running our mouths off!
Joseph (Young): Did someone mention "running"???
Speedwagon: Mr. Joestar... Please get serious...
The two Josephs talking with the person named Speedwagon were also allies to the group. The older Joseph being the grandfather of Jotaro and the younger being the prime version of when Joseph faced the Pillarmen.
Jotaro: Enyaba... Just what hole did you crawl out to face us again...
Enyaba: I should be thanking you, Joestars. Because without your help, those Corpse parts would have been hard to find. NOT LIKE YOU'LL NEED THEM MUCH LONGER!!! KEEEE kekeke!
Speedwagon: Eh!? What's that supposed to mean!?
Nintega: Oh crap... The spine...
Enyaba: Ah, someone beat me to the reveal... No matter!!! The noble one who is destined to be above all, has acquired the final and MOST important piece of all the Holy Corpses! The spine! He who controls the spine, controls all of reality!!!
Speedwagon: WHAT!?
Enyaba began to laugh as the mist from her Stand began to surround the area, bringing the dead back to life as puppets as their tongues became like whips once more.
Kitty: KYAAAAAA!!! NOT THE TONGUES AGAIN!!!!!
Appearing next to Kitty, Polnareff held her close and summoned his Silver Chariot to protect her.
Polnareff: Do not worry, ma cherie (my darling), I will protect you~
Kitty began to shiver out of fright and awkwardness as she wanted to get away, but couldn't due to the hold he had on her along with many tongue zombies in the area.
Kitty: I don't know which is worse... Someone who thinks I'm cute, or the zombies...
A rumbling could be heard as it shook the area real quick before stopping.
Enyaba: Eh? What the hell was that?
Joseph (Old): Eh??? I thought that was you!
Speedwagon: Was it an earthquake??? It seemed too short for that though...
Polnareff: Do not worry about the earthquakes, my dear lady. I will protect you and make sure you are safe.
Another rumbling could be felt as it happened bigger this time.
Josuke (Part 4): Oi! What is that shaking man!?
Nintega: I don't know... But I have a bad feeling about this...
Kitty: Should we just stand here and risk falling in the ground if it cracks...? Or worry about zombies later and run...?
Jotaro: We'll worry about the ground splitting when it happens. For now, we need to take care of this bitch.
Enyaba: Jotaro Kujo!! You're really making me mad! I'll make sure you don't live to survive when the Noble One claims all!!
Upon command, Enyaba then began to send the zombies after the group as they had to fend off the enemies while some went after Enyaba. During the time, Polnareff stayed with the heroes, more particularly with Kitty.
Kitty: I can fight on my own. You DON'T have to be this close to me...
Polnareff: Not at all, a lady such as yourself should never have to fight. You are like a delicate flower blooming in beauty.
A bigger rumble could be felt as a crack could be seen under Kitty and Polnareff. The crack got bigger and bigger the more Polnareff flirted with Kitty.
Nintega: Dude! Why is this place shaking!?
Goofy: Are you sure there isn't an earthquake???
Nintega: That's not even a hazard here!
Donald: Then what would be causing it then?!?!
Kitty: Polnareff, please... Let me go...
Polnareff: No can do. Someone has to protect you, and I shall be your knight~
Hearing a cracking sound, Kitty and Polnareff looked down and saw a big crack under them.
Polnareff: Hmmm??? That wasn't there before...
Kitty: THIS IS NOT A CARTOON MOMENT!! Move and fast if we don't want to fall!!
Polnareff: Do not worry! I shall protect you. I'll carry you and-
Coming out of the ground a man yelling with his fist connected to Polnareff's face that then sent him flying up into the air as the man began to breathe hard. That person was Soejammy.
Soejammy: GET AWAY FROM HER, YOU FRENCH PLAYER!!!
Nintega: JAMMY!?
Donald: WHERE DID HE COME FROM!?
Riku: Wait, did he come out from underground!?
Sora: More specifically, HOW did he even move underground?!
Soejammy: Oh, easy. Somehow, the Gummi Ship went underground and I was taking a while to dig out using magic to blast away the dirt and whatever in my way. Trust me, it took a LONG time to dig through. It became harder as concrete was solid. But then I heard Polnareff flirting with Kitty and that REALLY got me angry. I couldn't stand hearing all of that as I just really wanted to clobber him until he was pulp. Now... Where is that French bastard?
As Soejammy got out of the crack and onto the ground, he was ready to actually beat Polnareff into a pulp. He was heading towards him, but was stopped when Kitty ran over and hugged him from behind.
Kitty: I'm so glad to see you're safe... I was so worried something happened to you when we couldn't find you...
Soejammy looked at Kitty as he blushed softly from her words and looked away quickly to hide it, though Riku noticed this.
Riku: Oh, so that's why he punched Polnareff.
Sora: What? What do you mean??
Riku: Nope. I'm keeping that a secret.
Donald: Give me the means to torment Jammy!
Riku: You really want to die at his hands???
Donald: He's already almost killed me enough from stress and all the magic he targets me with!! What's going to be different if you tell me???
Riku: Problem is, I'll be in his line of sight next.
Donald was about to say something, but then heard yelling as Kitty was in close proximity to a zombie.
Soejammy: You dare scare her...?
Soejammy gets behind a zombie and suplexes the zombie before kicking it into the sky.
Soejammy: I'LL GIVE YOU A REASON TO BE SCARED!!!
Kitty: Um... It's already gone... I don't think it even heard that...
Soejammy: Semantics!!!
Kitty: Okay then Dr. Gero.
Soejammy: Don't you DBZA me!!!
Kitty: You brought it on saying "semantics"!!! Everyone knows Dr. Gero says that!!
Soejammy: At least I don't go around naming enhanced people androids. Seriously, if they're still regular people, why androids??? They're "CYBORGS"!!!
Kitty: A mystery that shall never be solved.
Soejammy was about to say something next, when a tap on his shoulder could be felt.
Soejammy: Yeah, yeah. I'll be onto you next, zombie. Just talking to the cat right now.
Jotaro: I do hope you know, you just hurt my friend AND you're being quite loud.
Soejammy: Listen you, I-
As Kitty moved away fast and went to check on Polnareff to avoid being caught in this, Soejammy turned around. He looked at the chest of Jotaro and then looked up and looked Jotaro into the eyes. Once realizing who he was talking to, Soejammy began to tremble softly before whooping and bouncing around.
Soejammy: Jotaro!? We're in a JoJo universe!? OH YEAH!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Nintega: Please tell me I-
Kitty and friends: Yes. Yes you were.
Nintega: Oh, come on!!
Soejammy kept bouncing around Jotaro until Star Platinum grabbed him by the head and placed him down.
Jotaro: Let's get one thing straight.
Soejammy: All ears!! You want someone beaten up?? Allow me to do that!! Want Heartless crushed??? I am your guy!! Want a duck or an old lady stand user burned...
An eye glint appeared in Soejammy's eye as he raised his Oblivion and lit it on fire.
Soejammy: My services are yours~
Jotaro just looked at Soejammy while Old Joseph just stared in shock.
Joseph (Old): That boy is very disturbing...
Joseph (Young): At least you're not the one being targeted. You're also old as well.
Joseph (Old): He said "Old LADY stand user"!!! Not men!!!
Josuke (Part 4): Hey! Can you two focus right now!?
Jotaro just sighed and tipped his hat.
Jotaro: Just don't get in the way. We need to get to that old hag over-
Soejammy: Enyaba: Stand User of the Justice Tarot card. Her main power involves a mist that is able to control bodies with holes in them. She can also make illusions with the mist and take over dead bodies. Her cause of death was a betrayal by DIO from an assassin of his known as Steely Dan of the Lover's Tarot card by a bud of flesh implanted into her head to kill her.
Jotaro looked at Soejammy with eye glistening on knowing how Enyaba died and who caused it. Jotaro sighed as his back was turned towards Soejammy.
Jotaro: Good grief... Look, I won't question how you know that, but you seem to have good intentions of helping out. If you want to, you can. Just don't do anything-
Whooping some more, Soejammy then began to go wild as he then kicked a zombie into an ambulance truck, another into power lines and one into a café. The café was owned by Tonio Trussardi, another Stand User, but uses his power to help heal people with the food he makes.
Tonio (Shop): MY CAFÉ!!! AH!!! ZOMBIE!!!
Josuke (Part 4): Ah crap...! Sorry Tonio!!! We'll pay for the damages!!!
Tonio (Shop): YOU BETTER!!!
Soejammy was still attacking zombies left and right until the area was cleared of them. He then looked towards Enyaba and smiled in an evil way.
Soejammy: Youuuuuuuuuur tuuuuuuuuurn~
Enyaba yelled out in fright as she tried to run away, only to be cut off by Soejammy quickly.
Soejammy: Going somewhere~?
Enyaba tried to run the other way before seeing Soejammy on the ground in front of her next in a lying down position.
Soejammy: Besides being interrogated~?
Enyaba yelled again as she tried to back up while looking at Soejammy as she bumped into someone. Looking behind her, Jotaro picked her up by the collar and glared at her.
Jotaro: Not how I wanted to capture you, but this guy seems to have put enough fear into you. You want to start talking? Or do I have to have our new "friend" here do that for us?
Being called Jotaro's friend, Soejammy began to bounce around in joy as he got his Oblivion out and created a stream of fire from the tip of his Keyblade.
Soejammy: JUST SAY THE WORD!!! THE BITCH BURNS!!!
Kitty: SIT BOY!!!
Soejammy then plummets to the ground as the Keyblade stops creating fire instantly.
Nintega: Thank you for that... I have never been more grateful to see Jammy face planting to the ground...
The heroes: Agreeing with Nintega...
Jotaro just sighed and threw Enyaba to a wall while the others began to circle around them. Enyaba got up slowly as she leaned against her walking stick.
Enyaba: Ngggggh! Damn you, Joestars...you and your miserable defiance...
But then, a smile came to Enyaba's face as Soejammy and Nintega noticed this.
Enyaba: But my work here is already done! I know now, beyond all doubt, that the Joestars...have gathered EIGHT of the Holy Corpse paaaaarts!
With that, a trembling occurs as Enyaba then disappears into a light. The others just looked at the area Enyaba disappeared from and looked at each other.
Josuke (Part 8): What a weird old woman.
Johnny: Who was she calling out to?
After asking that, a trembling occurred as everyone could feel the sensation and pressure.
Speedwagon: Whoaaaa! E-Earthquake?
Keeping a calm and collected thought, Giorno felt a sensation that seemed very dark.
Giorno: No, this isn't a quake... I know what this is...
Josuke (Part 4): Th-This feeling!
Jolyne: I-I don't know what's happening here, but I just broke out in a cold sweat!
Joseph (Young): This pressure...it feels like it's digging into my soul...
Johnathan: This pitch black sensation!
As the others were speaking this, the Joestars and Speedwagon disappear leaving the others in Morioh.
Kitty: Wh-What!? What happened to them!?
Soejammy: DIO...
Nintega: No, not the DIO we know... Another version of DIO. One that didn't lose in his fight with Jotaro. One that survived that battle and kept getting stronger and stronger... One that does achieve Over Heaven...
Soejammy: Well, why weren't we pulled in???
???: Because you were left for me.
Hearing a voice, the others felt a pull and were pulled into another dimension separate from where the Joestars went to.
Location: ???
As the heroes were brought through a portal, they all crashed to the ground.
Soejammy: Ouch... Did not like that...
Nintega: You're telling me. At least something broke my fall.
Donald: Yeah... That's me.
Looking down Nintega saw it was Donald who he landed on.
Nintega: Ah, right...
Sora then got up and rubbed his head.
Sora: Well, that was a bad landing... But where the heck are we...?
Riku: And who even sent us to wherever this is...?
Looking around, Soejammy and Nintega gasped when they noticed the area they were in.
Soejammy: WHAT!?
Nintega: THIS PLACE!?
Soejammy: No! It couldn't be!!!
Kitty: Mind filling the rest of us in...?
Goofy: It doesn't sound like this is a good place from their reactions...
Soejammy and Nintega got up quickly with their Keyblades out and ready.
Soejammy: EVERYONE BE ON YOUR GUARD!!!
Nintega: WE'RE NOT SAFE! NOT EVEN FOR A SECOND HERE!!!
Donald: Mind telling us what is going on!?
???: Yes. Why not tell them, Nintega.
Gasping, Soejammy and Nintega looked towards the sound of who spoke as they walked from a portal, was Young Xehanort.
Nintega: YOU!?
Xehanort (Younger): Hello, there.
Soejammy: Oh, god damn it! You don't appear for a long time! WHY ARE YOU HERE NOW!?
Xehanort (Younger): Ah, it seems you know of me as well?
Soejammy: How about the fact you're the reason things in the timeline are mucked up as is!!
Young Xehanort laughs at Soejammy as he takes a step forward towards him.
Soejammy: Hey! What's so funny!?
Xehanort (Younger): You do realize you're such a hypocrite. Right?
Soejammy: What!? What did you say to me!?
Xehanort (Younger): My, do you have deaf ears or something? You screech like an ape.
Soejammy: WHAT!?
Nintega: Jammy! Don't let him talk you up like this! He's just trying to get into your head!
Young Xehanort looks at Nintega and smirks.
Xehanort (Younger): And what about you? Hmm? The mighty hero of the Key. Failed to save his friends from an "uncertain" fate was it?
Nintega: DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT THEM LIKE THAT!!! THEIR LIVES WERE ALREADY GREAT BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG!!!
Young Xehanort looked at Nintega as if observing him.
Nintega: You came around, messed up the Mark of Mastery for Terra and the others! You used Ven as a puppet for your malicious greed and got his heart destroyed by Heartless!! Aqua was casted into the Darkness because of a fight with you!!! I'll never forgive you for that day!!!
Xehanort (Younger): If you believe I did all those things, then you should try and strike me down right now.
Sensing a ploy to trick Nintega, Soejammy reached a hand and placed it on Nintega's chest.
Soejammy: Hold on! He's edging you to lose your nerve!! Don't listen to him!
Nintega: This is the same guy that uses my friends to make a counterfeit Key like mine!! I will not forgive him for doing this!!!
Soejammy: Nintega! Wait!!
Not heeding any of Soejammy's warnings, Nintega activates his All-Star Keyblade as to begin a random selection on the Keyblade began to spin until it landed on a light red. From there, the Keyblade design was changing and changing Nintega's clothes until it matched a color scheme matching Mario's.
Nintega (Mario): It's-a time to kick his-a ass!!
Soejammy: NINTEGA! STOP!!
Jumping up high, Nintega flipped through the air before diving back down much to Young Xehanort's shock. Young Xehanort dodged and created his clock blades as he began to go on the offensive as Nintega dodged and blocked the attacks his enemy dished out. Gripping his Keyblade tightly, Nintega's Keyblade shifted into a hammer with red and blue designs as he slammed it across the floor to create a shockwave towards Young Xehanort. The shockwave caught the enemy off guard as it propelled him upwards into the air.
Xehanort (Younger): S-Such incredible power!
Nintega (Mario): You have no idea!!!
Tightening his hand into a fist, Nintega then shot fire out from the palm of his hand without casting magic.
Donald: HUH!? He can create fire at will!?
Soejammy: Hey, don't ask me. I don't know anything about that blade of his.
Kitty: But doesn't it seem like the power of Mario's? The fire flower?
Soejammy: It's called Pyrokinesis. An art of commanding fire and summoning it at will.
Nintega (Mario): That's-a right!
Soejammy: Why are you talking like that?
Nintega (Mario): Talking like-a what?
Kitty: Sounding exactly like Mario.
Nintega shook his head and slapped his mouth.
Nintega (Mario): Dang it. It gets-a really annoying. Gah!
Kitty: The one time I can't record something! This would have been perfect teasing material!!
Nintega (Mario): This is not-a funny!! GAH!!!
Nintega held his hands to his head from having to have a speech like Mario's. If this wasn't a dangerous situation, Kitty would have been on the floor rolling in laughter. But her shoulders were shaking from holding back laughs.
Kitty: Is too funny!
Riku: Hey! Watch out!!
Looking behind him, Nintega raised the hammer up to block a blade of Young Xehanort's before receiving a kick to his sternum. The kick sent Nintega flying before backflipping towards a wall to plant his feet against the surface to jump forward at insane speed.
Sora: Whoa!
Soejammy: Mario's specialty in jumping... So if the shockwave was caused by the hammer... That would mean Nintega has enhanced strength too.
Goofy: That... Is honestly amazing and impressive how much Nintega can do with that Keyblade of his.
Soejammy: Yes... But why edge Nintega on though...?
Sora: What?
Soejammy: Xehanort targeted Nintega specifically... This guy wouldn't be here... Unless he talked to Chronos...
Donald: Maybe he hates Nintega the same way Chronos hates you? But that wouldn't make sense if they haven't met before.
Soejammy: But from what Nintega told me, he and this version of Xehanort battled before. It was back 10 years ago...
Goofy: 10 years ago...? Huh!? That's REALLY Nintega!?
Sora: Huh? You know Nintega Goofy??
Donald: Wait a minute... OH NOW I REMEMBER HIM! WHY IS HE BACK!?
Kitty: Huh?
Soejammy: Oh yeah... Nintega told me about how he was here 10 years ago, fought with Aqua, Ven and Terra and how each of them bonded and stuff bla bla bla... And then fighting Young Xehanort in the end and stuff.
There was silence in the group as they looked at Soejammy in shock.
The heroes: WHAAAAAAAT?!
Soejammy: Explanations for later... Nintega can talk to you about it...
Riku: A LOT of explaining to do...
Soejammy: Of course...
Nintega was currently exchanging blows with Young Xehanort as he changed his hammer back into Keyblade form to have more flexibility and speed to his swings. The two then clash and lock blades with each other to stare each other down.
Xehanort (Younger): You have surprisingly quick reflexes!
Nintega (Mario): Don't-a give me that crap!
Nintega pushed up and did a spin kick to Young Xehanort's head to stun him.
Nintega (Mario): You hurt-a my friends, use their power for a Key. Make Terra, Ven and Aqua suffer and break-a their bonds. And you keep trying to kill me! Why-a are you doing-a this!?
Young Xehanort looked at Nintega and smirked and laughed.
Nintega (Mario): What's-a so funny!?
Xehanort (Younger): Just... Very interesting on what you say to me. It would explain why Chronos has sent me here. And one why you must die by my hands.
Soejammy picked up on something wrong with this talk as he widened his eyes right now and summoned out Oblivion.
Soejammy: NINTEGA!!! DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!!!
Nintega (Mario): What!?
Soejammy: Keep him there! I'm coming in to help!!
Young Xehanort gritted his teeth in being found out what was going on as he began trying to separate from Nintega, but was hounded on to keep up the fight.
Nintega (Mario): Where do you think you're-a going!?
Xehanort (Younger): Anywhere now except here! I have learned many things fighting you.
Nintega (Mario): What's that supposed to mean!?
Soejammy was running as fast as he could as he used Aero to propel him forward to catch up. Getting on the other side of Xehanort, Soejammy and Nintega got into a blade lock with their enemy to keep him from moving.
Soejammy: Not so fast, time traveler! You're not going anywhere!!!
Nintega (Mario): Jammy! Think you want-a tell me what's-a goin' on!?
Soejammy: Stop telling him what you know! This is NOT him!!!
Nintega (Mario): What-a are you talking about!?
Soejammy: This is the past version of the Xehanort you fought!!! The one you faced when Master Xehanort was making this Keyblade!!!
Eyes widened in horror, mostly for Nintega as the Younger Xehanort smiled at the blunder Nintega had made.
Xehanort (Younger): Guess I've been found out already it seems.
Soejammy: So, my assumptions were right! You're not the version Nintega fights! Not yet that seems!!
Soejammy began to push down on Xehanort to put pressure on him.
Soejammy: If time travel is up for grabs, all we have to do is not let you escape and make sure we end you before that happens!!!
Nintega (Mario): If Jammy is-a right, then that means Terra, Ven, and Aqua will be-a saved in a new timeline!!
???: Not if I have anything to say about that.
Looking behind him, Soejammy saw Chronos as his face was grabbed and slammed to the ground.
Soejammy: AUGH!!!
Kitty: JAMMY!!!
Nintega was shocked to see Chronos here and wanted to help Jammy, but kept his focus on Xehanort.
Soejammy: Don't worry about me, Nintega! Keep on Xehanort!!
Nintega (Mario): Doing that!
Soejammy looked at Chronos as he grunted and smirked.
Soejammy: Guess we meet again.
Chronos: Too soon for that fact.
Soejammy: So, what do you got against me? Besides looking much better than you? I know I can pull off armor, but yours is just hideous.
Chronos: Quiet with your insufferable quips!!!
Chronos then threw Soejammy in the other direction as Soejammy rolled against the ground to get back up quickly into a stance.
Soejammy: Come on! Come over here! Stop fighting me with your hands and fight me with your blades already!!
Chronos looked at Soejammy and then to Nintega as he then walked over to where Xehanort and Nintega were.
Soejammy: Hey! I'm talking to you!!
Casting blizzara, Soejammy quickly casted an ice wall to block Chronos off to give Nintega a chance.
Soejammy: You're not going anywhere until I've had that rematch.
Chronos: If it's to die against me, you can have that wish!
Chronos then began wanting to use his time powers, but his effects were nullified in this space.
Chronos: What!?
Soejammy: Damn. Sorry to burst your sad little bubble, but you don't own this space of time, Chronos. Xehanort does. And if logic confirms, his time area is only powered for him. Your powers have no effect here!!!
Chronos growled and looked at Xehanort.
Chronos: Xehanort!!!
Xehanort (Younger): Sorry, did I forget to mention that? Guess I would have had the advantage against you here then.
Chronos: You better watch yourself. I do not take kindly to being double crossed!!
Xehanort (Younger): Might want to watch your situations first.
Chronos then drew his blades and went into a blade lock with Soejammy as he smirked.
Soejammy: On an even playing ground. Not your taste of fights?
Chronos: I do not need my powers of time to beat you!!
Soejammy: Prove it then!!!
Soejammy and Chronos began to dodge, block or lock blades with each swing they made as both were giving and receiving ground with each other. Nintega and Xehanort were both fighting each other as Nintega's current power for Mario was beginning to wear off.
Nintega (Mario): Not-a good!
Xehanort (Younger): Ah, so there is a limit for how long you can access that form? Well, that kind of set-back will have to be worked out in the future. Or should I say, the past.
Nintega (Mario): Not-a on your life!!
Nintega kept fighting to keep pressuring Xehanort to not travel through time while he was near his opponent. Chronos was using two blades to keep on the offensive as Soejammy was having to block most of the time.
Soejammy: Augh! Damn it! I'm struggling on trying to make any progress, but I'm just stuck being pushed back!!
Donald off to the side was annoyed by Soejammy's reckless actions as he was jumping up and down.
Donald: I knew his recklessness would get the best of him!!!
Sora: We have to do something!!
Riku: With what?! All we have is weapons here!
Thinking what Riku was saying, Kitty looked at her blade and then at Soejammy's.
Kitty: Wait! Riku! You're a genius!
Riku: I am?
Sora: He is?
Donald and Goofy: For what?
Kitty: For THIS! Jammy! Catch!!
Looking towards Kitty, Soejammy looked to see Kitty priming her Oathkeeper to be thrown as she began to prepare. Once she got her stance, she began to throw her Keyblade as a pulse surged through her body as Oathkeeper lights up as Kitty throws it. Resonating with Oblivion, Soejammy gets some extra strength and pushes Chronos off him as he jumps up and grabs hold of Oathkeeper. When landing, Soejammy flips both Keyblades in his hands and smirks at Chronos.
Soejammy: Two blades vs two Keyblades. Let's dance!!
Chronos grunted in the distance as he got his blades up. Soejammy and Chronos began to circle around each other as each began to swing and block each other's strikes. Chronos trying to get the upper hand by shoulder bashing into Soejammy. Being flung from Chronos, Soejammy drove Oblivion into the ground and used it to spin from before launching himself to kick Chronos in the chest before recalling Oblivion to him and throwing it. Chronos recovered from the kick to block Oblivion as it spun like a saw blade while Soejammy dove down with Oathkeeper pulled back ready to thrust forward. Chronos yelled as he pushed Oblivion away and raised his blades again to defend from a high attack, but then Soejammy was really going for a roll and to put some momentum in a spin attack at his side.
Chronos: ARGH!!!
Chronos was sent flying to the ice wall as it cracked from the impact. Recalling Oblivion back, Soejammy twirled the Keyblades in his hands while getting into a stance.
Soejammy: Ready to give up?
Chronos was about to get up, when he suddenly vanished from the area.
Soejammy: What!?
Looking at where Nintega and Xehanort was, Nintega was on the floor as Xehanort was still standing.
Soejammy: NINTEGA!!
Casting Fira with both Keyblades, Soejammy began to rush towards where Nintega was.
Xehanort (Younger): I do wish we had a bit more of a chance to see what you were capable of, but I have my own preparations for when the time comes. Until then, you'll be seeing me again, Soejammy. That is, if you can escape from this space.
Before Xehanort began to leave, Soejammy was close to slashing at his enemy. That was, until a blinding light that resonated in Soejammy's chest began to light up as it then created a crack on the floor in the space Xehanort made.
Soejammy: What!?
Xehanort (Younger): What did you do!?
As the crack continued to appear, Nintega, Kitty and the gang felt an energy before being taken away from Xehanort's realm.
Xehanort (Younger): Just what happened... They shouldn't have been able to leave this place...!
Location: Morioh
As the light took the gang back to Morioh, Soejammy then casted Cure on Nintega as he regained his strength and got on his feet.
Nintega: Ngh... Ah... Ah! Xehanort!?
Soejammy: Gone. So is Chronos... We couldn't stop him from going back and carrying out what follows us to now.
Nintega looked at Soejammy before getting angry and slammed his fist onto the ground.
Nintega: Damn it!!
Soejammy: I know... I know how you feel.
Looking at Oathkeeper in his hand, Soejammy walked up to Kitty to return her Keyblade to her.
Soejammy: Thanks for the extra blade, Kitty. It really helped.
Kitty smiled in just being able to help, but soon frowned as she whacked Soejammy's chest with her fist.
Kitty: You... IDIOT! What the hell were you thinking?! If you weren't able to get that extra blade, you could have been KILLED! Is that what you want?!
Soejammy: What do you want me to do? Let Chronos KILL Nintega while trying to fight Xehanort??? Would that be what you wanted instead??? I had Cure I could use to heal myself. I don't know if Nintega could use his magic while using his Keyblade's power! It might switch what he is currently using and change his abilities around!
Kitty: You clearly noticed that Chronos is targeting you like Xehanort is targeting Nintega! You're putting YOURSELF at even higher risk! LET US HELP INSTEAD OF RISKING YOURSELF!!!
Soejammy: What do you want me to do? You know what Chronos is like. What do you want to do when an all powerful man who can stop time, when he appears again??
Kitty: But don't think I'd wouldn't risk my own life than seeing someone else I care about die or be at risk instead... I may not be much of a fighter... But I'd do ANYTHING for my family and friends!
Soejammy sighed as he looked at Kitty.
Soejammy: I just... It hurts to see you get hurt fatally... I saw you die against the Vizer, I saw you die against Clayton... How many times will you risk your life? Sure, you were collateral damage from being targeted... But what happens if I don't have the Dagger of Time out? What happens then if I don't build up enough time to have a chance to save you???
Kitty: And you don't think it hurts seeing you putting the burden on yourself?! I think about everything... I can't stop the bad thoughts... And the main ones? Why can't I protect anyone? Why do I have to be on the sidelines when I could do something to save a life? I fight mentally every second to be brave because being scared won't do anything but cause more trouble. I'd rather be reckless than do nothing.
Soejammy looked at Kitty as he sighed and turned his back to her.
Soejammy: Want to be brave? Train. Train yourself and realize this isn't a game. Be willing to strike with the intent to end something. Don't just keep worrying about what is going to happen if you don't do something. Because when you worry, you leave your thoughts clouded. Leave your compassion to your friends. For your enemies, you must not let them see weakness. Else you risk leaving yourself open to more pain.
Kitty bit her lip before she said something she would regret, but just nodded.
Kitty: Fine...
Soejammy: No. It's either you understand, or you don't. Do you understand that your life is at constant risk? That if you fight, fight with the intent to end a life? Even if it is Heartless? Another person? Do you have the WILL to strike someone down and end them should it mean their life or your friends?
Biting her lip more and taking some deep breaths to hold back the tears threatening to spill, Kitty remained silent before speaking again.
Kitty: Not like I haven't known that the whole time we've been on this adventure... Understood...
Soejammy took a deep breath as his voice was shaking this time as he tried to calm himself down.
Soejammy: Okay... Okay... First thing we do when getting back to the Gummi Ship after clearing this world, you are training with Nintega and I. Sora and Riku will be training with you. They need to know that their lives are at risk too. There is no room for a fight when it involves facing someone with a clear thought. Chronos is that example. He is collected, trained, able to think during battle. He will plan each strike intending to kill. You make a mistake, that's it. There are NO retries. When you live once, that's it. Okay?
Kitty was trying to hold tears back at this point as she was trying to wipe them away as Riku looked at Soejammy.
Riku: You're speaking from experience, aren't you...?
Soejammy didn't look at Riku, but continued to speak with tears going down his face as well.
Soejammy: There is a time and place to talk about stuff like that... This...Is not one of them. Not on the field of battle. Gather your awareness. We must be ready if a fight presents itself.
Going over to Nintega, Soejammy lifted Nintega onto his feet to help him regain his mentality.
Soejammy: We can think about what to do with that Xehanort at a later time... But for now, we must keep forging on. We do not know what is waiting for us. We must keep forging on.
Nintega didn't say anything as he just remained silent.
Soejammy: Nintega. You're angry. I get that. But remember, there is still a chance to make things right. Terra, Aqua, and Ventus would want you to keep fighting and-
Nintega: Don't you speak their names!
Nintega swatted Soejammy away and glared at him.
Soejammy: NIntega...
Nintega: You don't know what it was like losing my THREE best friends to him!!! Not only that, but the All-Stars were MANIPULATED by him!!!
Soejammy: That is enough.
Nintega: NO!! I had him right there!!! And the moment Mario's power went out, Xehanort got to me!! I was THIS close to changing the timeline!!!
Soejammy: You don't think I know that!? I wish I could have helped!! But the fight wasn't on our side! Especially with Chronos appearing like that! If he had not shown up, I would have helped better! But right now, we need to think about what we can do here and now!! Get your focus back!!
Nintega glared at Soejammy and wanted to say something, but he turned around and casted Firaga at a trash can and set it ablaze in a huge fire and smoke.
Nintega: Next time I see him, that Firaga is his face.
Soejammy: Do what you must. But revenge is never the answer. If you strike him down in anger, so too will your soul.
Nintega looked at Soejammy and took some deep breaths.
Nintega: What do we do now? How did we get back?
Soejammy: That... Might have been something on me...
Everyone looked at Soejammy as he pulled out a wrapped up object that was dry and flaky. When the others looked at it, they were shocked.
The heroes besides Jammy: THE HOLY CORPSE PART!?
Riku: We've been looking where the last part was!!
Sora: Where did you find it!?
Soejammy looked at the others and began to chuckle.
Soejammy: Well... Remember how I disappeared...?
Donald: Yes. Go on.
Soejammy looked at Donald as if ready to cast a spell on his ass if he said something wrong.
Soejammy: Okay, I just want to confirm that where I was, was on the Gummi Ship. It was buried 60 feet underground.
Donald: Not surprising since this is you we're talking about.
Soejammy: During my climb and digging my way out, I found the corpse part during my digging and decided to keep it on me for good measure. Thought it might help if some of the others we came across were DIO-fied.
Goofy: "DIO-fied"?
Soejammy: Yeah. Under DIO, Gone to Heaven's control. You know, crazy energy around someone, dark and vicious? Oh, like Avdol over there. Hi Avdol!
At the mention of Avdol's name, the heroes turned around to look at him as their eyes widened seeing the crazy energy Soejammy was talking about.
Kitty: Oh this is not good...!
Goofy: Is he another stand user?
Kitty: Yes. His stand is called Magician's red. It looks like a bird but can be deadly with its flames. But just like Chronos, Avdol is calm and collected and won't hold back...
Soejammy: And that's not even good for us... With facing an actual person... We're in deep shit...
Riku: Why do you say that...?
Observing the damages and strain Soejammy and Nintega received in their fight, Nintega was barely healed and Soejammy was breathing heavily.
Soejammy: Nintega and I just got through a tough fight... And we're exhausted...
Riku: Oh that really isn't good...
The group were on edge with the two of the biggest fighters down, but couldn't just leave with Avdol there. With Kitty and Sora being the only ones with the Keyblades to be able to see Stand energy to get an idea of where they are, this was a bigger disadvantage. Glancing at the Oathkeeper, Nintega and Soejammy and the group, Kitty gripped onto her Keyblade more, scared but knowing something needed to be done.
Kitty: We're not going to be able to get away, and we can't leave Avdol under the control of DIO...
Sora: And what are you suggesting?
Kitty: I'm saying we're going to have to be brave... Make sure Jammy and Nintega don't get any more hurt... And fight Avdol ourselves.
Sora looked at Kitty and then at Avdol and began to sweat.
Sora: Kitty... You sure we got this...?
Soejammy: Stop being a pansy and get your big boy pants on, Watson!!
Looking over at Soejammy, Kitty and Sora could see that Soejammy and Nintega were over by the café ordering some drinks.
Soejammy: We're just going to get a drink.
Sora: My name is SORA!!! S.O.R.A!!!
Soejammy: You got this Watson!!!
Sora groaned at the name calling starting again, but focused back on the situation as he looked at Donald, Goofy and Riku.
Sora: What are you going to do? Go with Jammy and Nintega or stay with us?
Riku: We might as well be back-up just in case things happen.
Goofy: I can at least try providing some cover against the flames. Hopefully.
Soejammy: Ah, one more thing. I don't know if you know this, but his Stand's flames are invisible to those who can't see it. I see some traces of flames, but not sure. So, no stand or key, flames are invisible.
The group looked at each other, before looking back at Soejammy and yelled at the same time.
The group: NOW YOU TELL US THAT?!
Soejammy: What? I'm cruel, but I'm not unfair.
Groans were heard from the group before they looked at Donald, wondering what he was going to do. But of course, the answer was obvious...
Donald: I'd rather fight something invisible than be stuck with those two palookas!
Nintega: Hey! We are not palookas!
Looking back at the idiots, the two had instantly changed into fancy clothing.
Soejammy: Now give us a jolly good show. Yes?
Nintega: I do say, it better be good.
Kitty had numerous tick marks forming on her head as she pointed her Oathkeeper to where they were.
Kitty: That better not be making fun of a British accent...!
Soejammy: What? My mother's grandma came from England. I'm just following tradition. Yes.
Another tick mark formed on Kitty's head as she did Soejammy's special move, a freeze ray on his head.
Kitty: Worst British accent... Of all time...
Having a frozen head, Soejammy was still conscious as he held up a sign that read: "Not a very jolly good show here..."
Kitty: SHUT IT!!!
Sora: Kitty... Let's just get this over with already...
Getting her focus back on Avdol instead of the annoying ice head, Kitty nodded as she looked at Sora.
Kitty: I know this is a lot different from Heartless... But I know you can do this. Avdol is a good guy, if we can just break the control DIO has on him, we could gain another ally here.
Sora: Hope you're right...
Sora and Kitty soon got into stances as Avdol sensed their defiance to submit.
Avdol (Controlled): All who oppose the great one, shall burn by my flames!!!
Kitty: Avdol! We're not your enemies! We're here to help you!
Sora: I did not sign up for this!!!
Donald: Now you know how I feel!!
Sora was about to say something, when he had to dodge an energy that looked like to be an attack that crashed near where he was feeling heat in that spot.
Sora: The flames really are invisible!!!
Kitty: Just cause to be extra careful then!! And keep away from the café where Nintega and Jammy are!
Sora: You sure we can't just leave this to them??? They usually fight for us!!
Kitty: Nintega looks as if he can barely move and Jammy barely got out of that fight with Chronos. Do you really think that's the best conditions to fight in???
Sora wanted to fight against this, but really couldn't given circumstances.
Sora: Dang it!
Kitty: We can do this. If we can just get close or figure out how to break the control and fast, this will be fine... I think.
Sora: YOU THINK!? That better change for sure!! You, Jammy and Nintega are older than Riku and I!!!
Kitty: And our two experts that KNOW about any of the stand users or their stands and how to beat them, ARE OUT RESTING!!!
Sora: So??? You must've heard them talking a lot about it then!!
Kitty: Oh if only it was about how to beat them... But no, it always has to be jokes and freaking out about their favorite people.
Before the two could continue their talk, Avdol began to summon out Magician's Red and had him shoot some Crossfires at them. Separating from each other, Sora and Kitty went to either side of Avdol as Sora lifted his Keyblade up and lined it up to shoot Avdol.
Sora: Blizzara!!
Casting an ice spell, Sora had a direct line of fire, but then the ice in the air one by one melted halfway to Avdol.
Sora: His fire can stop ice magic!?
Kitty: So much for trying to cool the situation down... Ack!! Now I'M MAKING PUNS!!!
Nintega: Comes with the protagonist package!
Kitty: KEEP THE BLOODY PACKAGES!!! Rather focus on being... You know, ALIVE!!! How do we get Avdol back to normal and not under control???
Soejammy: Simple. Knock him out, and use the Holy Corpse part on him. DIO's negative energy will go away and free his mind.
Kitty and Sora glanced at each other, both wondering why things always have to seem more complicated than they are.
Sora: Great... Let's just try to avoid being burnt to a crisp while getting close then. LIKE THAT'S SIMPLE IT CAN BE!!!
Soejammy: Glad you think the same!
Sora: Sarcasm, it was sarcasm!!!
Soejammy: Don't care.
Kitty was rubbing her forehead and questioning all decisions that lead to this friendship with Soejammy, before looking at Sora.
Kitty: Just going to have to keep dodging and getting the strikes in before moving away fast... Seems like the only shot we have...
Sora: Right... You distract him by shooting from afar! I'll attack up close!!
Kitty: Okay! Don't get hurt!
With this plan in mind, Sora gripped his Keyblade as he headed towards Avdol to get some close range attacks in. Focusing on her magic, Kitty was firing ice and fire, anything to try and get Avdol's attention on her so Sora could get close enough. Kitty casted some magic being ice and fire.
Avdol (Controlled): Red Bind!!
Seeing lines of energy in the air, Sora stopped as he then saw them wrap around his arms and legs to feel searing pain as if something hot and burning had him wrapped up.
Sora: OW! IT'S HOT!! NGH!!!
Riku: Sora!!
Avdol wasn't worried about the projectiles as they entered a certain range, the ice was destroyed, but the fire was redirected back at Kitty with great speed.
Kitty: WHAT!?
Rolling out of the way in time before getting hit too bad, though wincing when getting hit in the chest, Kitty groaned in realizing her mistake.
Kitty: Oh for the love of... Of course Avdol would be able to control fire!
Sora: JAMMY!!
Soejammy: What? I thought it would be common logic since Magician's Red uses fire attacks!
Sora: Then what the heck are we supposed to do?! We can't even get close!!!
Nintega: Haven't you got an element that is faster than ice or fire? Something to strike at Avdol?
Sora and Kitty were thinking, before Kitty's eyes widened as she built up thunder magic with her Keyblade.
Kitty: Sora, as soon as I use this, get as close as you can to get some attacks in!
Sora nodded in understanding as he held onto his Kingdom Key to strike as soon as possible. Building the magic up, Kitty raised her Oathkeeper to the sky as she called out the magic.
Kitty: Thunder!!
While using the magic, it suddenly struck lightning down on Avdol as he yelled in agony of the attack being instantaneous. With the shock of feeling the attack, Red Bind was lowered as Sora felt movement to his arms and legs again.
Sora: I can finally move again!
Riku: Good to see that you can move again!
Donald: But don't waste any time just get attacking already!
Sora nodded his head as he then began to rush up towards Avdol and began to attack him with the Keyblade. Each attack hit Avdol hard as he soon regained his senses and grabbed Sora by the throat and slammed him to the ground.
Avdol (Controlled): How dare you attack me like this!? Burn! Crossfire!
Kitty: Aero!!
Before Avdol could shoot fire at Sora, Kitty was able to cast Aero around Sora as the fire crashed into it and was blown away.
Avdol (Controlled): What!?
Looking at Kitty, the said Neko became shy and nervous that his gaze was on her.
Kitty: I-I'm not... Going to let you hurt my friend!!
Avdol growled in anger as he then tossed Sora to the others as they were left to catch him. Building up power, Avdol began to power up Magician's Red as an aura could be seen around him.
Kitty: Wh-What's he doing!?
Sora: Oh, I do not like the look of this...
With Soejammy and Nintega, they had now formed a commentator booth while they wore commentator clothing.
Soejammy: Ah, this must be Avdol's special attack.
Nintega: You be right, my friend. That is Avdol's Crossfire Hurricane Special. An attack that allows him to separate the ankh shaped fire attack he has into as many pieces as he wants. And with the control he has, Avdol could potentially aim the fire to circle around the entire group he is about to attack.
Soejammy: My lord, do you think we should help?
There was silence between the two before they burst out laughing.
Soejammy: Nah. I think they got this. GO TEAM!!!
With her eyes having flames in them as big as Magician Red's fire, Kitty looked at the two "commentators" in anger.
Kitty: I WILL THROW YOU INTO THIS ATTACK AND LET YOU MEET HADES AGAIN IN DEATH!!!
Soejammy: That would be Beat's job to do.
Goofy: Is there a way to stop this attack???
Nintega: Nope. Not unless you have something stronger than Aero. But I do not think we have the means to do so.
Having been the main target since she stopped Avdol's attack, she looked at the group.
Kitty: Get to safety NOW! You're not getting caught in this!
As the group was about to try and escape, Avdol yelled out to the group.
Avdol (Controlled): BURN IN THE GRACE OF THE GREAT ONE!!! CROSSFIRE HURRICANE SPECIAL!!!
Commanding Magician's Red, streams of fire began to appear as they were going in all directions as they broke off to keep flying, but then swung back to head for the group directly.
Donald: I DON'T WANT TO BE FOOD!!!
Riku: OH NO!!!
Seeing her friends being attacked, Kitty's heart was beginning to beat faster and faster as every being about her wanted to protect her friends.
Kitty: LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!!!
Running as fast as she could with a racing heart, unsure of what she could even do, Kitty just ran even if it was to try and push everyone out the way. With the situation right now that the attack was about to hit them, everything just seemed to move in slow motion. Kitty's heart was racing at what felt like the speed of light as she kept looking at all the attacks with Sora holding up his Keyblade to attempt to block the attack. With her need to save her friends being more than her own life at risk, Kitty then felt a sudden surge coming from her. Turning into a stream of light, Kitty was soon over to where her friends were as she raised her Oathkeeper into the air as a barrier formed around the group being attacked. Soejammy and Nintega were the most shocked of them all with what the two saw.
Nintega: HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!
Soejammy: This... THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ABLE TO HAPPEN!!!
As the dust was scattering away from the impact zone, Kitty still held her weapon up high as her back was facing towards the group she saved. Kitty's hair levitated softly with particles of light glistening around her. Her clothes have changed with a bright light that was surrounding her as she looked at her friends with an empty stare.
Kitty?: Stay here... I'm ending this... Don't. Move from this spot unless you need to run...
With the sudden change Kitty was going through, the others couldn't see what was going on with her clothes as she was just radiating light. Looking at Avdol, a stream of light was blanketing the area as anyone who looked at Kitty was blinded with a vicious light.
Avdol (Controlled): WHAT IS THIS LIGHT!?
Nintega: BALD! BALD!! BALD!!!
Soejammy: AH!! MY EYES!!! Wait, was this a Spongebob movie reference?
Nintega: Apparently so.
Kitty began to walk towards Avdol as the man himself tried sending fire at Kitty. But every attempt either missed her or the attack landed against the barrier that formed the instant the attack almost landed on her. When Kitty got close to Avdol, the man was struggling to even see anything as Kitty then thrusted a palm forward to send Avdol flying away while also knocking the aura around him. Avdol landed against the ground as he slid against it until he came to a halt. Kitty just looked at where Avdol was as the light began to die down with the sound of something changing back. With what had just happened, Kitty then felt light-headed as the world spun in her vision before she met the ground when passing out. With the light having died down and everyone being able to see properly again, the first thing the group did was look at Nintega and Soejammy.
The group: WHAT WAS THAT?!
Nintega and Soejammy looked at each other as they looked at the group.
Nintega: I don't really know myself... But... That was Light Form...
Riku: Light form?
Soejammy: Yes. A very rare skill that happens when someone's power builds up to a vocal point and gives them powers based on light itself. The opposite form to that is known as Dark Form...
Goofy: If it's a very rare skill, how was it used just now then?
Soejammy looked off to the side as he possibly knew why, but did not want to voice it. Not when there could be spies around them.
Donald: Hey! You clearly know something! So tell us!!
Soejammy: I don't have to tell you ANYTHING!!
Donald: Oh ironic! You don't have to tell but you go on about being a team, yet keep your own secrets!!
Soejammy: Listen here, Duck. Because I'm only telling you this once. Merlin MADE me promise not to speak. I am in no liberty to speak about what he has shared with Kitty and I. THAT is my reason why I can't speak.
Nintega: Seems like unless you want to make your precious King mad by making someone go against their word, you better keep that bill of yours shut.
Soejammy looked at Nintega standing up for him, Donald growled in anger at being one-upped by this as Riku began to speak next.
Riku: Merlin??? Why can't you tell us???
Soejammy looked off to the side towards Kitty before looking back at Riku.
Soejammy: I have my own reasons. Reasons to keep everyone here safe.
Riku looked very confused as he glanced between Kitty and Soejammy, but didn't push the matter.
Riku: If it's to keep everyone safe, I understand.
Sora: Wait, you do??? I don't even know what the HECK just happened!!
Soejammy: Sora... The less you know what is going on. The better it is for everyone.
Sora's expression was clearly showing how he did want to know, but Riku nudged him to make Sora look at him. Shaking his head, Riku was saying it was best to just drop it for now as Sora sighed.
Sora: If you say so...
Soejammy: Trust me... I don't like keeping secrets... But this one is too much to burden anyone. Even for Nintega.
Nintega: That big of a secret huh? Well, you'll tell if the time ever comes we need to know. But for now, we should carry on before anyone else that's being controlled attacks.
Hearing a groaning sound, the others looked over to where Avdol was as he began to sit up and hold his head.
Goofy: Enemy getting back up!
Donald: Do something!!
Hearing the voices, Avdol looked back and blinked.
Avdol: Why am I seeing a talking dog and duck?
Nintega: That's the first thing he asks?!
Soejammy: It is surprising for everyone.
Donald: NO IT ISN'T!!!
Goofy: Well if people aren't used to seeing it, it would be surprising.
Donald: YOU'RE NOT HELPING HERE, GOOFY!!!
As Donald was yelling as usual, Soejammy headed over to Avdol to explain everything.
Soejammy: Don't worry about the duck, he's always like this. But how are you feeling?
Avdol looked at Donald and Goofy as the duck smacked Goofy in the chin to have him falling to the ground.
Avdol: Besides waking up to a horrible headache AND seeing this... I've been better...
Soejammy: Not surprising considering you were under DIO's control... Luckily, you were able to snap out of it.
Avdol: Wh-What!? DIO?! What do you mean!? In fact, where are Polnareff and Iggy!? Last time I remember... I was with them, and...
Soejammy: You got eaten up by Ice by his Stand's power by saving their life. But thankfully, you had a second chance at life pal.
Avdol: I see... As long as Polnareff and Iggy are safe. But there is also the question of who are you? And how do you know all of this?
Groaning could be heard as someone in the store was coming too as Polnareff leaned against the broken window.
Polnareff: Ouch... Who the hell punched me through here...?
Soejammy: Really? He's still here??? How did he sleep through all of that!?
Avdol looked at Polnareff as his eyes widened seeing him.
Avdol: Polarneff??? It's good to see him doing well here.
Soejammy: At least someone is happy to see him... Last time I met him, he touched my friend who is now passed out on the ground right there.
Avdol: ...Not surprising... But what happened to your friend to be passed out?
Polnareff was heading towards Avdol seeing him and wanted to reunite with him after having seen his death from Vanilla Ice. He was about to do that, when seeing Soejammy.
Polnareff: Hey! You're the guy that punched me through the window earlier!!
Soejammy: Oh gee, whatever gave you THAT impression...
Polnareff: Just the fact that I was knocked out in the store by your punch... You hit hard...
Soejammy: Maybe if you weren't touching my friend, I wouldn't have done that! Players are the worst...
Polnareff: WHAT!?
Avdol: You do have a bad reputation for flirting with women...
Polnareff: Not you too, Avdol!!!
Ignoring the comment as he was used to Polnareff's ways by now, Avdol focused back on Soejammy.
Avdol: So, who are you and what happened to your friend?
Soejammy: Oh, that's easy. She knocked the freaky aura off of you on her own.
Avdol just looked at Soejammy not even understanding what he meant, Polnareff having a different reaction.
Polnareff: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! Haven't you heard??? You need a Holy Corpse part in order to release someone from that kind of thing.
Soejammy: Oh, you mean something like this?
Soejammy held out the part in front of Polnareff as if casual to do that as Polnareff nodded his head.
Polnareff: Yes! Just like tha-
Widening his eyes Polnareff looked at the piece and then at Soejammy.
Polnareff: Where did you get that!?
Soejammy: I was digging underground when I found it before I found you and punched you through the window. That was fun.
Polnareff looked at Soejammy and blinked before moving away from him.
Polnareff: Has ANYONE told you how messed up you are?
Soejammy: Yes. But I do not mind. It builds character.
Shaking his head at another strange being having been met, Polnareff focused on the part about Kitty being passed out.
Polnareff: But what about your friend? Where is she after saving Avdol?
Sensing the intent of seeing her again, Soejammy glared at the French man.
Soejammy: Do you have a death wish with my fist~?
Polnareff: Oh not at all! I just want to thank her for helping my friend.
Avdol: That might be tricky until she wakes up... She should be moved to a safer place than just the ground...
Nintega: Wish we knew where the Joestars are right now... We could have put her in Mr. President's safe area...
Avdol looked at Nintega next as he was about to ask when Polnareff stopped him.
Polnareff: It's better if you experience yourself.
Avdol: I am so confused...
Polnareff: They have somehow got knowledge about all of us... Just leave it at that.
Avdol: That doesn't put me at ease, Polnareff...!
Polnareff: Would it help if even though we don't know how they know so much, they've been helping us the whole time?
Avdol just gave a slight glance at the group and then to Nintega and Soejammy who waved at Avdol when he looked at them.
Soejammy and Nintega: Helloooooo.
Avdol wasn't quite sure what to think of the group considering they're complete strangers, but did trust in Polnareff as he sighed.
Avdol: I am still wary of trusting strangers, but any help is needed in this peculiar situation... We need to find Mr. Joestar, JoJo and the others after all.
Polnareff: Trust me, this is all too weird myself. Believe me, time travel is pretty damn weird.
Avdol became even more confused now as the others began trying to figure out where the Joestars went, while Soejammy picked Kitty up for a piggyback ride.
Polnareff: Are you sure you-
Soejammy gave a death glare, daring the French man to do anything.
Soejammy: You got something to say?
Polnareff: Ngh...! Okay! Fine! Don't take my help!
Soejammy: Oh, your help would be good. As a distraction so everyone else can get out of danger. If only the dog was here. I'd let him eat your hair.
Polnareff: HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IGGY!?
Soejammy: I have my ways~
Polnareff growled as the group decided to take a walk and wait for anyone they knew would arrive.
Riku: So, we're stuck here, and now we can't seem to go anywhere unless Jotaro and the others with the turtle are back... Great...
Donald: I wish we could go to the Gummi Ship...but it's 60 feet underground!!!
Soejammy: I did not crash it down there! I just happened to wake up in the Gummi Ship and it was already like that!!
Sora: How would the Gummi Ship even end up so far underground???
Soejammy: I'm sensing bullshit, or my name is Shelly. And it's not.
Donald: WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!
Soejammy: Roll with it.
Donald: The sooner the others get back so we can continue... The better...!
Soejammy: What? Is it Christmas, or are you afraid of the "presents" of my puns and jokes~?
Goofy had to move very quickly to hold Donald back, Donald's staff randomly swinging in the air and getting close to hitting Soejammy.
Donald: CAN YOU TAKE SOMETHING SERIOUSLY FOR ONCE?!
Soejammy: I do. Just trying to keep everyone smiling and their spirits high.
Donald grumbled as he kept swinging his staff trying to hit Soejammy, Goofy trying his hardest to hold him back as Soejammy moved away to avoid being hit.
Goofy: Gwarsh, there's no harm in trying to keep someone's spirits high Donald!
Soejammy: And watch where you swing that thing!! You want me to drop Kitty?!
Donald: All I know is, we're going to these places, AND WE STILL HAVEN'T FOUND OUR KING!!!
Soejammy stopped as he decided to set Kitty down.
Soejammy: You know, you're not the only one here worried about people they care about.
Donald stopped for a moment and looked at Soejammy.
Soejammy: You don't think I know you're looking for your King??? You made a promise to also help find our friends. Fat load your promise was. All you ever started doing was use us as tools. You don't care about anyone. You just care for yourself and your own selfish needs.
Donald: You want to say that to me again!?
Soejammy: You heard me. Selfish, rude, abusive and above all, a liar. What promise did you make to the Queen you serve under? You'll return with the King? Is THAT the only REAL promise you ever made truthfully?? Orders are one thing, but those you become close to are another. You don't care about ANY of us here. You only see us as usable tools to help your own goals. News flash: WE'RE NOT! Either you start acting like a team player and stop thinking of your own objectives, or you're never going to change. Because if you do, you'll not only keep losing more trust, but you'll lose the support of people that consider you a friend. A saying goes like this from a sensei to his students. One that has been reflected upon from someone he considered a friend and ally in the end. "Those who break the rules are scum. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum." Right now, you're on that path of being alone. Either get your shit straight, or take a hike. We don't need anymore people trying to break the bonds we have. And with you, I have no bonds with. And I highly doubt hardly anyone else does either. Be thankful Goofy still considers you his friend and Jiminy. Otherwise, you'd really be alone all the way out here.
Clapping could be heard as the group looked towards the direction of the one doing the clapping.
???: Bravo. Bravo! A wonderful speech, dear friend. What a wonderful way to show that bonds are stronger than rules themselves.
Upon hearing the voice and seeing the person, Polnareff and Avdol recognized the person right away.
Polnareff: Not you again!!
Avdol: Where did you come from!?
Upon closer inspection, the person they were talking to was someone by the name of Daniel J. D'Arby. A Stand User that the Joestars faced in Egypt when they were searching for Dino's hideout. He had a smile of feeling moved, but it was laced with maliciousness.
D'Arby: Unfortunately for you, those bonds can be quite broken quickly.
Polnareff and Avdol: D'Arby!!!
D'Arby: Ah, Polnareff and Avdol. Lovely to see you two gentlemen again.
Polnareff: Cut the bullshit! I still haven't forgotten what you did to me the last time! Being turned into a poker chip was a nightmare!!
Avdol: It was a nightmare indeed. He even bested Mr. Joestar at his own game of trickery.
Soejammy: And let me guess, you were sent to deal with us now, D'Arby?
D'Arby smiled as he looked at the group.
D'Arby: Maybe, maybe not. But I think you have something I'm looking for.
Feeling a resonating pulse, Soejammy felt the Holy Corpse part and looked at D'Arby.
Soejammy: You have a piece then...?
D'Arby: So, my master was right. It did lead me to another Corpse part. It will be a good way to find Jotaro now.
Soejammy glared at D'Arby hearing Jotaro being targeted, as he looked at him. Polnareff looked at D'Arby and pointed at him.
Polnareff: What do you mean "find him easier"??? Last time I checked-
D'Arby: Then you're behind on the times. My master has claimed the parts your allies had gained!!!
Polnareff and the others were shocked by this, but not Soejammy as he took a step forward.
Soejammy: But Jotaro didn't lose his. If you're looking for Jotaro, he and his friends escaped from your dark master, am I right?
D'Arby glared at Soejammy at his keen sense of reading the situation.
D'Arby: You are most correct. Jotaro escaped with his allies with the Corpse part he still had. My master doesn't know why he has it still, but that doesn't matter as the Holy Corpse parts gravitate towards one another. Sooner or later, Jotaro will come to me, and I will not have to leave this area.
Soejammy: Not unless I steal yours from you while betting for some info.
Hiking up his ear, D'Arby sensed something from Soejammy.
D'Arby: Oh? Are you saying you're willing to challenge me?
Soejammy: D'Arby. Stand User of Osiris. Ability to take people's souls and turn them into poker chips. Only real easy way to steal a soul is if they bet their own soul in a match. Has a high skill for sleight of hand, manipulation of the games, deceiving people of choices they make and using counterfeit items to give an edge to win a game. Did I miss anything there?
D'Arby looked at Soejammy and smiled more and clapped his hands.
D'Arby: Well, well. Seems someone did their research.
Soejammy: No research intended. You reek with smellings of a cheater all over you. Poker is your strongest suit as you know so many card tricks to give an edge in that kind of battle. You even manipulate others around you to work for you. Even kids if you're lucky enough. After all, you used a kid during yours and Jotaro's poker game to give you the best hand possible.
D'Arby widened his eyes along with Avdol in hearing what Soejammy said.
D'Arby: Now I know no one mentioned that, where did you hear of that!?
Soejammy: I'll give that info to you, but I have my own rules to answer to as well. If you're up to the challenge.
D'Arby looked at Soejammy as both of them stared the other down. D'Arby smirked as this interaction had caught him intrigued.
D'Arby: Well, it's hard for someone to surprise me. But to have had this extensive background check done? That's even more impressive. You've peaked my interest, young man. How may I address you?
Soejammy: I am known by many names: "God killer", "Class Hacker", "The White Chocolate". But you? You may call me...
Suspense was building up as the others were waiting for what Soejammy would say.
Soejammy: "Tiffany".
If Kitty was awake to hear this, she would be facepalming so hard. Nintega did it for her though as he did a mega facepalm, the others looking confused.
Sora: Tiffany? But-
Riku: Isn't that a girl's name...?
D'Arby: Please tell us you're not being serious...
Polnareff: I don't want to be rescued by a man whose name is "Tiffany"...
Soejammy: Pfffft. NA!! I'm full of bullshit!! I was just hoping to see how you all would react if I said that!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Avdol: Are you sure this man really is trustworthy...?
Polnareff: I'm not even sure anymore... I heard stories about him with his friends, they said he was really strong. Now? I'm not even sure myself!!!
Nintega: It's... Honestly best to just go along with the chaos instead of questioning it.
Donald: Yeah, and cause double the headache for me!!!
Soejammy looked at Donald as he stuck his tongue out.
Soejammy: You're just jealous because I have more friends than you, loner duck!
Donald: I AM NOT A LONER DUCK!
As Avdol looked at Polnareff questioning his judgment, the French man himself shrugged as he didn't know what to say. Soejammy sat at the table with D'Arby and began to play poker.
D'Arby: Before we begin, I must hear your bet.
Soejammy: Of course. For the Corpse part and information against DIO, I bet my Corpse part, and my soul.
Polnareff: I... Honestly, I don't know myself anymore... Only sticking around to deal with DIO at this point and make sure the lady will be okay with this group...
Avdol: You're talking about the girl unconscious right now?
Polnareff: Of course! She's unconscious and that guy who punched me doesn't seem to be taking this seriously!!
Donald: THANK YOU FOR SAYING MY POINT THIS WHOLE TIME!!
Riku: I trust him!
The others looked at Riku as he looked at Soejammy.
Riku: Soejammy may not be taking this as seriously as we are, but he isn't without care for the safety of his friends. He's been giving me his trust the entire time since I was left in his care. Since then, he has been showing his commitment and planning how to tackle situations. Sure, they're not that bright at most, but it's effective in its own way. His actions may be weird and unjustified, but from the battles he has had before, Soejammy didn't fight just for his own amusement, but for his allies. If he's going in like this, I'm supporting his actions.
Sora looked at Riku and sighed as he had second thoughts for this as well.
Sora: Riku... Isn't far off from the truth... I want to say that Jammy is reckless, but Riku is looking at the bigger picture than what I was seeing. Jammy may have... Strange ways of dealing with stuff, but it helped getting the upper hand at most. He even faced off a guy with a huge sword by himself and single-handedly beat them without help! If that isn't showing care to help us, I don't know what is.
Donald only remained silent as he refused to listen to any of this, only seeing all the trouble caused and struggling to find the King. Not even Goofy and Jiminy were able to convince him.
Goofy: He may cause trouble, but you have to admit he's always been able to get us out of all the bad situations and been there for everyone.
Jiminy: Even when you two have had the worst trust in each other, he's still saved and helped you! Doesn't that count for something?
Donald: A few rights does not make everything he has done better! He's been nothing but a pain and hypocrite! He clearly hates me, and that feeling is more than mutual!
Nintega: If he REALLY hated you, why risk his life to keep you safe from real danger? If he really wanted to, he could have ended you himself.
Donald: Don't you even start when you cause as much trouble as him!
Nintega: At least I don't use my friends to reach my goals. I work with them and support them. Jammy has always been there for me, and been a great teacher when writing together. Even helping me when I struggled on ideas. His most powerful skill is being able to think of many different things instantly and working them out as he goes to quickly reach a goal his own way. Jammy isn't just my best friend, but a mentor and brother.
Donald just remained silent and looked at Soejammy who was holding his cards like a noob with his tongue sticking out.
Donald: You drew the short straw, didn't you?
Nintega: I DID NOT!!!
D'Arby: Will you hold your cards right?! You're holding one sideways!!!
Soejammy: Why are you worried about me? You should be focused on your own hands.
Donald: We're all doomed...
As the game between D'Arby and Soejammy kept going, D'Arby was gaining a short lead while Soejammy was losing chip after chip.
D'Arby: Seems someone was all talk and no bite after all. You're not even worth my time at this point.
Soejammy was just watching as he threw a chip onto the table.
Soejammy: And until the chips are all gone, I still have a chance.
D'Arby: We'll see.
Soejammy and D'Arby still kept playing until Soejammy was at 5 chips left, with D'Arby at 15 chips.
D'Arby: Seems someone has a good max bet before this game is done and over with. Then your soul will be added to my trophies.
The others were sweating at how Soejammy was put into a defenseless situation, but Soejammy held his cards firmly and with a sharp gaze.
Soejammy: You know, you're getting a little too cocky, right?
D'Arby: Excuse me?
Soejammy: You sure are such a kid to be bragging like you've already won. I haven't lost yet. I have chips I can play.
D'Arby: And that 5 is all you have left. Unless you-
Soejammy: I'm not betting my friends' souls, if that's what you're about to offer.
D'Arby blinked and flinched when Soejammy said that and surprised him.
D'Arby: But you could make a bigger-
Soejammy: You dare make me try to think about my life and try to keep betting until my friends end up on the plate? You're such a sleaze-ball if you think I'll fall for such crap like that. I mean, I'm no Jotaro, but you have such a weird obsession with him.
D'Arby: That cheater played me like a fiddle!!! I'm just after what's coming to him!!!
Soejammy: And yet, you're wasting your time with me. Someone who is older than Jotaro. You know he's like, 17-years-old, right? Seems sus you're going after a teen like that...
D'Arby: WHAT ARE YOU EVEN IMPLYING THERE!?
Soejammy just sweated as D'Arby was losing his edge. The others were watching as Avdol was a little worried.
Avdol: Your friend has played poker before, right?
Nintega: He has not.
Avdol: Why am I not surprised...
Donald: We're trusting someone to play poker... Who has never played poker...? Even... More... Doomed...
Goofy: At least our own souls aren't on the line... He made sure of that. But I just hope he somehow pulls off a win for his own sake...
Sora: He has acted like he doesn't know what he's doing before and surprised us all. Maybe he's doing that right now?
Riku: We can only hope...
As the others were watching Soejammy anger D'Arby, Soejammy was waving his hands around frantically.
Soejammy: I mean, how old are you? In your 30's??? What a weird fetish to play poker and do it with a minor... Gross.
D'Arby: And yet you seem just as obsessed with Jotaro. What's your excuse, boy???
Soejammy: Nothing. Just trying to take out the trash that he doesn't need to lift his hand for. I mean, you're second rate to your younger brother. And he could read your mind.
D'Arby widened his eyes in hearing about his younger brother while Soejammy smirked.
Soejammy: That's right. You and your brother are like brother stands as well. Your brother can do the exact same thing, but his goes a bit further. While being able to steal souls, he can predict your every thought and move, all while asking a simple yes or no question~
D'Arby: WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT!?
Soejammy: You're not the only one who has done his history, Mr. D'Arby.
D'Arby was getting more and more irritated as seen with his shaking fist holding his cards.
D'Arby: This will be one of the greatest privileges stealing your soul!!!
Soejammy: Jeez... You could cut me like a dagger really. But you're not exactly of time are you?
Soejammy just relaxed as he just focused on his cards and sighed.
Soejammy: My hands are really dog shit. You sure you're not handing me garbage hands?
D'Arby: If you're going to complain, why not-
Soejammy: I think I'll call by going all in.
D'Arby widened his eyes as Soejammy threw the chips that were on reserve into the air. D'Arby looked up towards the chips until they fell with Soejammy looking smug.
Soejammy: Going to play your turn~?
D'Arby: What kind of stunt was that!?
Soejammy: Just to look cool. Now, are you going to call my 5 chips? Or are you going to fold like a coward?
D'Arby raised his brow in confusion as the group looked at Soejammy, surprised when he went all in despite just saying about having a bad hand. However, a smug grin came onto D'Arby's face thinking he already won, calling on the 5 chips.
D'Arby: Your loss. Didn't think I'd ever meet someone so excited to lose their soul.
Soejammy: Just shut up and play your turn. The results just might surprise you~
Smirking even more, D'Arby growled as he began to show his hand.
D'Arby: Showdown!! Four of a kind Kings!! What do you got!?
Smirking, Soejammy laid his cards down as D'Arby widened his eyes in horror.
Soejammy: Showdown. Four of a kind Aces. Pretty sure Aces beat Kings~
Everyone looked in shock of hearing Soejammy win a hand against D'Arby as Soejammy slammed a hand to tilt the table up to launch the pile of chips onto his side.
Soejammy: Seems like we're even again, Barbie.
D'Arby: What did you call me!? Grrrrr!!!
Throwing a chip each again, the cards were dealt out as again.
D'Arby: What game are you playing at, you stupid brat.
Soejammy: Just poker. Now, are you going to call and raise to get cards? Or are you keeping your hand?
D'Arby glared at Soejammy as he had his hand under the table.
D'Arby: Hey! What do you have under the table!? I am in the right to call you cheating if you are!!!
Soejammy blinked as he raised his hand up to show him nothing.
Soejammy: You okay man?
D'Arby growled as he looked under the table to see if it was hidden, but wasn't seeing anything at all before coming back up to see Soejammy drinking on a can of soda.
D'Arby: HUUUUH!? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DRINK!?
Soejammy: I had it with me the entire time. Will you pay attention man?
D'Arby growled as he pointed an accusing finger at Soejammy.
D'Arby: Now I know you're just toying with me! You're trying to mess with my head, you cheater!
All Soejammy did in response was look at D'Arby with a deadpan.
Soejammy: Says the one who always tries and cheats to gain the upper hand for souls. Now are you going to take your turn already? Got other things to do you know.
D'Arby: Fine! I'll raise the bet to 5 and win those chips back!!
D'Arby raised the bet and took some cards as he glared at Soejammy who was still smirking.
D'Arby: Wipe that smirk off your face!! You going to call my bet and take cards!?
Soejammy: I'll call your raise, and I feel comfortable with my hand.
D'Arby widened his eyes as he then began the showdown.
D'Arby: Showdown!! Full House! 4 Aces of a kind!!
Soejammy smirked as he revealed his hand as D'Arby widened his eyes more with what he saw.
Soejammy: Showdown. Straight flush. 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack.
D'Arby looked at this in horror as Soejammy was now beating him in his own game as Soejammy collected the chips and placed them on his side of the table.
Soejammy: What's the matter, D'Arby? You look like you've seen a ghost.
D'Arby was breathing a little hard as he looked at Soejammy.
D'Arby: D-Don't you start with me!! You're doing something!!! I know you are!!!
Soejammy: Then call me out.
D'Arby: Huh!?
Soejammy: If I am, call me out. Unless you can prove I am cheating, you're only fishing for leverage. At least we're not playing go fish.
D'Arby growled but was sweating from losing so many chips and being at risk of losing if something doesn't change.
D'Arby: Stand up!! I'm patting you down!!
Looking at D'Arby, Soejammy sighed as he stood up and stretched his arms out. D'Arby got up quickly and began to feel around Soejammy's body while Soejammy stood still.
Soejammy: Someone seems touchy.
D'Arby: CAN IT!!!
D'Arby was looking around at everything possible, but couldn't find anything.
D'Arby: You don't have anything on you!?
Soejammy: Jeez, you're really paranoid... I think I see some gray in your hair. You stressed out man?
D'Arby growled more as he went back to his seat.
D'Arby: Mark. My. Words. I am not planning to lose to you. Your soul WILL be mine!
Soejammy rolled his eyes and yawned as he sat back down.
Soejammy: Yeah, yeah. Talk is boring, why not just prove it then? Instead of glaring daggers towards me, you should be making more use of your time to beat me.
D'Arby yelled as he slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Soejammy's face.
D'Arby: ENOUGH TALKING!!! START THE NEXT SET!!!
Soejammy just smirked as he shuffled the cards and dealt them out. Each placed 5 chips in as to just get the matches over with.
D'Arby: I take 3 cards!!
Exchanging his 3 current cards for 3 newer ones, D'Arby glared at Soejammy as he placed all his cards on the table and put them to the deck.
Soejammy: I'll change out all 5 of my cards for new ones.
Soejammy began to take a drink as D'Arby was about to pass the cards out to Soejammy, but Soejammy then began to spit his drink as it made D'Arby get up from his seat and try to clean his suit off.
D'Arby: NO!!! YOUR DRINK IS GOING TO LEAVE STAINS ON THIS!!!
Soejammy: How about you focus less on your suit, and play the game, Daniel J. D'Arby.
D'Arby looked at Soejammy as he had his arms crossed with his new 5 cards ready.
D'Arby: Hey!! Did you already take your cards!?
Soejammy: No, you dealt them while I was drinking, remember?
D'Arby: No-!! I-!! Grrr!!! SHOW YOUR HAND!!! IT'S SHOWDOWN TIME!!!
Revealing his cards, it was a straight flush as D'Arby smirked.
D'Arby: You're not beating this!!! This is how a real gambler plays!!!
Soejammy: Then you won't mind if I sweeten the last ending. If my cards are able to beat yours, you're going to tell us how we can beat your master. And if I have a losing hand, I'll consider you the winner of this entire game.
D'Arby: WHAT!?
Soejammy: Fair trade, right? I'm going ALL IN!!! Take the offer, or take a hike.
Everyone was shocked to see Soejammy place all his chips to the betting area when he is so close to winning.
Donald: I REALLY HATE HIM RIGHT NOW!!!
Avdol: D'Arby is a man who doesn't make mistakes with his cards...! He knows how to cheat and if that's the best hand he can get, your friend is doomed!!!
Riku: Jammy... What are you doing...???
Deciding on what to do, D'Arby looked at Soejammy.
D'Arby: You really are stupid!!! But fine!!! I accept it!!!
Soejammy smirked as he looked at D'Arby.
Soejammy: Then don't complain when you lose.
Widening his eyes, D'Arby looked at what Soejammy played and couldn't believe his eyes.
D'Arby: A-A-A-A!!!
Soejammy: A Royal Flush. A 10, Jack, Queen, King, and an Ace. The strongest hand in poker to ever have. And I won this game of ours, D'Arby.
D'Arby couldn't even say anything as he was just in shock while staring at the cards, the group just as shocked that Soejammy pulled this off.
Polnareff: Your friend is insane... How did he even manage to pull that off???
Nintega: Your guess would be as good as mine...
D'Arby: No... No. No! NO!!! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!!! I NEVER SAW IT HAPPENED!!!
Soejammy: Then you don't know me as well as you think.
D'Arby looked at Soejammy as he got up and glared at D'Arby.
Soejammy: You're going to tell us how to beat DIO and his Stand The World: Over Heaven.
D'Arby yelled as he began to cower in fear as the look in Soejammy's eyes matched that of Jotaro's.
Soejammy: Don't make me mad.
Producing Darkness into his palm, Soejammy clenched it to make it wrap around his hand and create a Dark Hand.
Soejammy: Fear your life right now, or the eventuality. Your choice. When I bet my soul, it automatically applies to you in losing your life. Talk, and I may just spare you.
D'Arby: P-P-Pucci...
Soejammy: Say it LOUDER!!!
D'Arby: Find Father Pucci!! He'll have all you need to know!! That bastard knows more about DIO than I do!! DAMN IT!!!
Soejammy: Hmph. If you're lying, I'll kill you. If you're not, I'll also kill you.
D'Arby: WHY!?
Soejammy: Because I'm leaving you to reflect on your sins. If they know we're coming and say your name, I'll know you snitched. And I'll be taking that Corpse part now if you please.
Taking the part, Soejammy turned around as D'Arby looked at Soejammy's pants to see something sticking out of it.
D'Arby: HUUUUUUUH!? WHAT IS THAT!?
https://youtu.be/QEQFdd_qg_w
Looking back at D'Arby, Soejammy noticed the same object himself.
Soejammy: Oops. I forgot to put that away.
Taking the item out of his pants, it was the Dagger of Time!!
D'Arby: B-But I patted you down earlier!!! THE KNIFE WASN'T THERE!!!
Soejammy: Uh, duh. It's "magic."
D'Arby: I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU HAD TO HAVE BEEN CHEATING SOMEHOW!!!
Soejammy: Too little, too late I'm afraid. How was it when you said it? "It's only cheating if you get caught"? I didn't get caught during the game. And you most certainly didn't know until now. The bet has concluded, and my soul is safe. Have a nice day, Mr. D'Arby.
D'Arby was in shock with how this all played out as he just passed out on the ground. Walking back to the group, Soejammy smirked as he had a piece of the Holy Corpse in his hand.
Soejammy: Victory!!
Riku: It was looking really bad at the beginning, but you really pulled through!!
Sora: THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Avdol: Seems there was a method to your madness. Congratulations on your victory.
Polnareff: HE WON!? And I lost to this man because of a cat...
Soejammy: Oh how "purr-fect" that would have been to see.
Polnareff: WILL YOU SHUT UP!?!?
Soejammy: Well there's no need to get so "catty" with me~
Polnareff: STOP IT!!!
Soejammy: Don't let a cat get your tongue!
Polnareff: That's it!!!
Soejammy: Uh-oh.
Soejammy began to run in circles around the convenience store as Polnareff was chasing after him. The other sighed while Nintega was laughing hard at this. With claiming two Holy Corpse parts, the gang had to find Jotaro and the others to even have a chance to defeat DIO, Gone to Heaven.
Part 1. End.
