*Corina's POV*


Zoey was itching at her neck fur due to something.

Zoey spoke "Gah! I hate fleas!"

“Rather than catching fleas myself, I think I should go through the warp ring.” I said.

Opaline spoke "You're not going by yourself Birdie."

"And why's that?" I asked.

Opaline spoke "I'd rather not get whipped by your wolf friend if you got hurt or worse."

"Or are you afraid that your hubby will punish you if you don't help out?" I smirked, making Opaline blush with her wings flaring out.

Opaline spoke "Don't make me throw you at that green hawk!"

Twilight spoke "Girls."

That caught our attention.

Twilight spoke "Get going."

Opaline and I went through the warp ring as Opaline went into her Mobian form with clothes that actually suited her.

Opaline soon falls flat on her face since she wasb't used to walking on two legs.

I was back in my human form.

"First time being a mobian, huh?" I said.

Opaline spoke "Shut it featherbrain."

But then Josuke and Koichi ran into us.

Josuke asks "Huh? Corina? What're you doin' here?"

I explained everything to the two males.

Josuke spoke "Still find it hard to believe."

Koichi spoke "*Sees something* Huh? I think that's a... Hey guys."

We turned towards Koichi.

Josuke asks "Yeah, what?"

Koichi asks "I could be wrong, but hasn't this house been abandoned for a few years?"

We looked at an empty window with boards across it.

Josuke spoke "Yeah, I doubt anyone would buy this eyesore. They'd be better off bulldozing it and starting over."

Danyelle soon pops up.

Danyelle spoke "I got a bad feeling about this..."

Koichi spoke "Well, maybe they just moved in. When I looked up at the window, I could've sworn I saw someone."

Josuke spoke "Huh? But that's impossible. Did you forget where I live? I'd have noticed if someone moved in. And besides, I always see real estates guys patrolling the area, looking for squatters."

Koichi spoke "Hmm... I guess that makes sense. How peculiar. *Approaches gate* I hate to say it, but maybe I saw a ghost. *Pokes head through open gate* Freaky."

Josuke spoke "Come on, dude. Knock it off with crap like that. Ghosts give me the willies, not to mention I live right there."

Danyelle spoke "StarClan's sake Koichi, never mention ghosts around Zoey either or she'll freak the fuck out."

The cherry red furred cat had crashed into Josuke.

The she-cat spoke "Itai..."

"Zoey?" I noticed.

"What the?! Whaddya think you're doing?" Josuke asked.

Danyelle spoke "Corina... Have you forgotten? Zoey has black fur in Mobian form."

The red furred Mobian cat was shaking in fear since she was all alone in a timeline not her own.

Danyelle spoke "Josuke, you should go easy on her. She's frightened badly..."

But then Koichi started groaning and gasping as he was constrained by his neck with the gate being pushed against him by someone new, a male black-scaled bearded dragon mobian with two fine lines crossing his face in semicircles while passing the inner corners of his eyes, having a dark flat-top boogie, with the hair at his sides being gray and slicked back, with two lightning bolt-shaped strands at the back of the D.A., meaning the Ducktail. He was also wearing a school uniform.


The bearded dragon asks "Try keeping your nose out of other people's business, little brat. *As Koichi kept gasping* Nothing to say?

Josuke asks "Koichi! No! Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?

The bearded dragon spoke "What? I should be the one asking you that question. You and your friends are on my property.

Josuke spoke "Have you completely lost your frickin' mind? Let him go."

The bearded dragon asks "Let me make something real clear, my Pop bought this house, which means I'm not gonna let you snoop around here. Get what I'm saying?"

Josuke spoke "I think you're the one who's not getting it. I'm telling you to let go of our friend, punk. You really don't wanna tick me off."

The bearded dragon asks "Hey, it's not nice to call people names. Especially when the person you're insulting just happens to own the property you're trespassin' on. Geez, don't you know how to be polite?

Josuke spoke "I know that I'm gonna smash your face in if you don't shut your goddamn mouth.

The mobian smirked, making my anger tip as I started charging.

"That tears it! I'm gonna beat you up mysel-" I was about to say before two somethings flew out of a window, one nailing Koichi in the through and the other hitting me in my chest before everything suddenly went black.


*Danyelle's POV*


"What?" Josuke and I gasped as Koichi and Corina coughed out blood.

The bearded dragon asks "Hey, bro?"

We looked up at a window, seeing a shadowed figure.

A person spoke "Interested as to why I shot those two with the arrow? Because that goon and woman are Josuke Higashikata and Danyelle Ogami."

The bearded dragon spoke "Really? *Gains a blue aura* So it's you two.

The person spoke "Given that he defeated Angelo and Danyelle gave assistance in that matter, their Stand Abilities will likely pose a nuisance to us as well."

Josuke gasps "You know about Stands too? Out with it, are you Stand Users?"

The person spoke "Okuyasu. Make Josuke Higashikata and Danyelle Ogami disappear."

The gate opened as Koichi fell, twitching and wheezing as Corina kept coughing out blood.

The person spoke "It seems the woman may become a Stand User, while I had high hopes for the boy would turn into a Stand User, and a useful one at that. But alas, it was all for naught. Those two are goners."

Josuke spoke "He can't...!"

We were about to head in before "Okuyasu" blocked out path while still having his blue aura as Josuke gained his purple aura.

Josuke spoke "Hey, move it! There's still time for me to heal his injury using Shining Diamond's power!"

Okuyasu spoke "Too bad."

We readied ourselves as a Stand emerged from Okuyasu.


Okuyasu spoke "Josuke Higashikata! Danyelle Ogami! I, Okuyasu Nijimura, will make you both and your friends vanish, so behold, The Hand! Get ready."

The Hand lunged before Shining Diamond and one part of my Stand landed a blow on his face, making it turn right.

Josuke spoke "Out of the way, or I'll make good on my promise to smash your face in.

Okuyasu spoke "*With a bit of blood from his mouth* Wow, gotta admit you're both pretty fast. *Wipes away blood*

The person spoke "Hey, Okuyasu. It appears manipulating a Stand is a lot like driving a car or motorcycle. Any bumbling halfwit can get in the driver's seat of a muscle machine. But with only air between his ears, he'll still be too scared to drive."

Okuyasu spoke "*As the four of us walked by* Hey bro, why the heck did you have to go and say all of that mean stuff for? These bastards are just a little faster than I thought they were gonna be."

The person spoke "Let me remind you this isn't a game, Okuyasu! There was a time when the mere thought of your Stand, The Hand, sent horrific chills straight in down my spine. Pull yourself together. It's time for you to kill Angelo's murderers, Josuke Higashikata and Danyelle Ogami. If you don't end them now, they'll prove troublesome in the future."

Okuyasu spoke "Yeah, I know-*Notices us gone before turning around* Hey, I was talking to my bro back there! That's not fair at all!"

Josuke laughs "Oh man, you're not too bright, are you?"

Okuyasu spoke "What? Not bright? Why do you-"

Shining Diamond punched Okuyasu, sending him back.

Josuke spoke "I told you to move it. Koichi! Corina! *As Koichi wheezed* Oh thank god, you're still with me. I can save you before it's too-"

But then Okuyasu charged at us. "I have had enough! You are not getting away!"

Josuke spoke "I am not gonna tell you again! If you wanna piss me off, keep running!"

Okuyasu spoke "Alright, I will! Let's see if you got the guts!"

Shining Diamond and one part of my Stand were about to attack before we both felt something wrong, grabbing The Hand's right arm instead. Something tells me that there's more to this right hand than we know. But then The Hand kneed our Stands, making Josuke and I cough out blood.

Okuyasu spoke "Let go of my hand!"

Josuke spoke "It is his right hand!"

The Hand attacked our stands enough to free his right arm before he thrusted it with his hand glowing green before Josuke and I grabbed Ichigo and Opaline before sliding around, dodging the attack.

Okuyasu spoke "You bastards. Stay right where you are, Josuke and Danyelle! You wouldn't wanna leave your friends behind!"

Josuke spoke "Something is definitely up with your right hand. My gut is telling me that there's more to it than you're letting on."

Okuyasu spoke "*Scoff* You guys can think about my hand once you're all worm food! This is it for you guys!"

Koichi was through the gate as the right gate closed, yet it was shorter and its sign was a bit different. 'No Passing'? We backed up to the wall as Okuyasu stepped forward.

Okuyasu taunts "If I were you, I wouldn't be so quick to back up, you flimsy pricks. Or don't you care about moving away from your friends? *As The Hand's right arm came out with the hand glowing green* Why don't you come a little closer?"

Of course, the sign's missing 'tre'.

Josuke asks "Now I get it, you didn't make part of that sign disappear. It cuts out space in midair! That's your Stand's ability, isn't it?"

Okuyasu smirked, confirming that as The Hand fully emerged. "Bingo, Josuke Higashikata! My Stand's right hand can make whatever it grabs disappear. But the void that's left behind, *Claps hands together once* closes and pulls together the space as if it never happened. But as for the part my Hand takes away, once my unlucky target is sucked into the void, I don't have a frickin' clue where it goes! Even if you try to run, it wouldn't matter 'cause I can still do this. *As The Hand scrapes away the space in front of it* I just have to grab some space. And then..."

All of a sudden, the four of us were right in front of Okuyasu.

Okuyasu spoke "Hey, you four came right to me. It's like teleporting, isn't it? *Punches us away while The Hand pulls us back before he punched us again* Hehehehehe, in case you guys didn't get the memo, you're up against The Hand, a Stand that even my bro fears. Try as you might, you can't run now, Josuke and Danyelle! *Punches us away and pulling us back* No matter where any of you try to hide, you're always within my reach. So go ahead, punks, make my day."

The four of us were then uppercutted back to the wall.

Okuyasu spoke "Weaklings. How are pieces of dog shit like you two able to take down Angelo.

Josuke and I got up before walking a bit and looked at Okuyasu.

Okuyasu growls "Guess you haven't figured out how worthless you guys are. So which one of us wasn't bright again?! *Pulls Josuke and I to him* Now hurry up and die, Josuke and Danyelle!"

"All according to plan." I calmly smiled.

Josuke spoke "That proves it. You, sir, are truly an idiot."

Okuyasu asks "Say what?"

Three pots were suddenly sent flying, pulled in as Josuke and I ducked, with the first two knocking Okuyasu up the chin before the third whacked him right in the moneymaker, knocking the bearded dragon out cold, making me, Ichigo and Opaline giggle at how that turned out.

I spoke "I had NO hand in Angelo's death damn it!"

Josuke spoke *Sigh* That was a close one. Okuyasu Nijimura, I’d say his Stand was pretty great, but I’m not one to lie. He’s gonna be a pain in the ass when he wakes up and tries to attack us. I guess I better draw in his nap with some gentle asphyxiation. *Grabs Okuyasu’s neck with both hands* This’ll definitely put the sting of defeat in his soul. Here we-

We heard a creak before seeing Koichi’s body were gone.

Josuke: K-Koichi!

We then saw him being dragged inside the house.

Josuke spoke *Gains purple aura* Now you’ve gone too far. I’ll kill you.

We stepped up and into the house, seeing Koichi in front of a blonde male bearded dragon mobian with long, light hair, with a curl at his forehead and a length/ponytail at the back, also folded onto itself above his head in the sculpture of a flat-top. He was wearing earrings shaped as downward arrows as well as a school uniform.


The person spoke "This Arrow is irreplaceable. There’s only one, you know. It is essential to my mission. *Reveals his face* And losing it is not an option.

The Mobian started pulling the arrow out.

Josuke spoke "Hey, leave the Arrow alone. He’ll bleed out if you keep it up.

The person spoke "Because the failings of my blockhead brother, I have no other choice but to kill you. Nothing personal, but I can’t let anything happen to the Arrow. It wouldn’t do for it to break or catch the eye of some old crone. Given my meticulous nature, I feel somewhat compelled to return it to its proper place. I mean, what should one do when one is finished listening to a CD? You should put the first in its case before listening to the next. That’s how everyone does it, and it’s how I did things."

The Mobian pulled the arrow out, making Koichi cough as Josuke charged in before a yowl split the air, followed by a cat Mobini flew at high speed, ramming headfirst into the person's stomach hard thus knocking them out cold.

Zoey growls "Good thing I had a tracking spell on Corina."

But then the guy got back up instantly while gaining a blue aura. “Now what’s this? So you’ve all decided to enter our abode.”

That was as obvious as day, bub!

Okuyasu spoke "*Behind us* Brother, don’t count me out just yet! Wait for me to help before you attack him."

Attack?

Okuyasu spoke "I hope you’re ready, it’s just getting started!"

But then something shined in the darkness.

Josuke asks "There’s something moving up there in the dark. *As something fired* What the hell?!"

Josuke and I tackled Corina, Opaline and Ichigo, getting them out of the way before Okuyasu was suddenly filled with tiny holes. Then Okuyasu fell onto his back.

Josuke asks "Okuyasu?"

The person spoke "Your stupidity is truly astounding. If you hadn’t stumbled in here like a bumbling idiot, Worse Company would’ve already destroyed Josuke and his friends. And what’s more, walked right into the line of fire."

Okuyasu spoke "But bro, I…"

The person spoke "Your Stand, The Hand, may be menacing, but you, little brother, are a fool. The incompetent will hinder the capable without fail. I’ve told you over and over since we were kids. And life is only worth living when it has growth. You’ve heard that before too."

Those wounds, they look like bullet wounds, but leaves you as a pincushion. How? I’ll find out, one way or another.

The person spoke "Poor little brother, it’s always idiots like you, who deserve to die like a miserable roach on its back."

We dodged more mini gunshots.

Josuke spoke "He’s filling the place with tiny holes! What is he doing? Shining Diamond!"

Shining Diamond punched open a hole as gunshots fired again.

Josuke growls "What kind of monster attacks his own frickin’ brother?!"

Josuke grabbed Okuyasu, but his right hand got hit as all of us got outside with Okuyasu before the wall fixed itself when tiny holes from mini bullets appeared on it.

“That was close. Good timing, Zoey.” I smiled.

Zoey gasps "Thanks, I’m just glad I could help. But I should’ve expected Okuyasu’s big bro would be tougher to knock ou-*Notices Ichigo* Whaaaaa?"

Zoey and Ichigo spoke "You’re me! And I’m you!/Anata wa watashidesu! Soshite watashi wa anatadesu!"

Josuke spoke "*Winces* Now then, I think it’s way past time you tell me about your brother’s Stand. *Grabs Okuyasu* What kind of power does his Stand have? Spill it and I’ll get rid of these holes in your face."

Okuyasu asks "Like I’d tell. I’ll never rat my bro out. Understand, fools?"

Corina spoke "Grr! You’re really starting to annoy me!"

Josuke spoke "Have it your way. *Pushes Okuyasu down onto the ground while summoning Shining Diamond* I suppose, that’s just how it’s gonna be."

Shining Diamond was about to attack Okuyasu, but instead healed him completely, much to our shock and confusion as Josuke started heading back inside.

Josuke spoke "Alright, we’re going in. Since you’re not gonna help, just stay out of our way, Okuyasu. Koichi doesn’t have much time so we have to move quickly."

We started heading back in. No attack so far.

Okuyasu asks "Where are you six going? I gotta know Josuke. Why the hell’d you heal my injuries?"

Josuke spoke "Be quiet. Let us focus."

Okuyasu spoke "Didn’t it cross your mind that I might attack you? I am your enemy after all."

“Are you serious?” Josuke, Zoey, Corina, Opaline and I deadpanned.

Okuyasu asks "That depends on how you answer my question. Why the hell did you heal me? I’m having a hard time piecing things together, so hurry up and tell me, dammit. Also, what the hell happened to your hand? Did my bro do that to you when you were pulling me out here? None of this is making any sense. Why’d you go through so much trouble to try and save me?

Josuke spoke "Well, it’s not complicated. I didn’t think anyone needed to die today. Truth be told, it’s as simple as that."

My ear twitched as I heard Ichigo’s heart thump with her face blushing, making me giggle.

Corina stayed behind with Koichi as she used the blue aqua that was brought in by Zoey to heal the guy.
