Blossom's Bizarre Adventure

Episode 5: Purple Prose (Ebony Eyes) - Part 2

Fluttershy immediately rushed to Rainbow to help her with Pixies, the girls didn’t have much time to defeat Purple Prose, they knew that she would escape given the chance and Luna would be there any minute, so they needed to act quickly.

“Gutterflower!” Blossom summoned her Stand, she had noticed a potted flower on the teacher’s desk in the detention room, so she tried to see if it was a real plant. Sure enough, Gutterflower was able to take the petals from the flower and turn them into small blades, which were shot towards Ebony Eyes, cutting up its horns, which translated to Purple’s ears, which began to drip blood onto the floor.

“Dang it!” Prose yelled out, Rush was still holding the door, making it hard for Prose to make an exit for herself, but she had a plan.

“Caught in a tough spot, eh?” Sunset taunted her opponent.

“Hah! I’ve put on earrings that hurt more,” Prose said, clearly crying and lying through her teeth, she quickly stomped on a floor tile next to her and the floor began to let out smoke, which blinded and disoriented the girls and their Stands, Rush returned to Rainbow and Prose was able to get out of the room, unnoticed by her enemies. She began to run away and found her locker, which she emptied and hid inside, “Those idiots won’t be finding me so easily, I could’ve gone any way to them, they weren’t looking, heheheh,” Prose whispered to herself.

Back at the detention room, the smoke was disappearing and the girls got back to their senses, immediately noticing Purple’s absence, they wanted to head out, but Luna got there first, and they had to explain themselves.

“Why are none of you in your seats, and- Oh my! What happened to her arm?!” Luna noticed Rainbow’s hurt arm, which Fluttershy wanted to get back to healing.

“It was that girl, Purple Prose, she has some weird magic that lets her set traps or something,” Sunset tried to explain, “She ran away from here, we were on our way to follow her and catch her,” She said.

“On one hand, you lot are in detention and shouldn’t be allowed out, but on the other, if this is ‘weird magic’ we’re dealing with, that could be the start of a new big problem…” Luna tried to decide with herself, after a moment, she came to a conclusion, “Fine, go get that girl, but don’t think you’ll get special treatment for getting a student back in detention, if anything, given what you’ll surely end up doing, you’ll get a day or two extra,” The vice-principal said.

“Okay, thank you, we promise not to wreck the school,” Blossom said, running past Luna and where she thought Prose had gone to, Sunset followed and Rainbow sent Rush along with them, while Pixies patched up her arm. The girls wondered where Prose could be hiding, but they soon found a corridor with many books in front of a locker and red dots on some floor tiles, they immediately knew where their foe was, as she wasn’t doing a good job at truly hiding.

“Okay, any strategies to get past this, possibly literal, minefield that’s between us and that brat?” Sunset asked, looking down at the many red dots, “Rush! Rainbow, can you fly your Stand over the tiles and get to her?” She asked, possibly expecting a verbal answer, but Rush just nodded and made its way over the red dots, but some closer to the locker were proximity based and nearly set off from Rush hovering above them, thankfully, the Stand was faster than the arrows that flew up.

“So, no way we can just step around these tiles to get there, some of them just care of you’re close enough,” Blossom observed, “Maybe there’s something, anything, underneath these,” She thought, turning her arm into a long and thin vine to go underneath the tiles, but she found nothing. Prose stepped out of her locker, being careful not to step on her own traps, she stood in the middle of the corridor and taunted Sunset and Blossom.

“Most of these tiles are different traps, good luck reaching me!” Prose said, laughing at the two girls.

“Ugh, give me a break…” Sunset complained, “You’re just a coward trying to play tough, just give it up now and we won’t beat you up,” She threatened Prose.

“No way, Sunny, my lady wants you gone, and I’ll give her what she wants,” Prose continued to sound mysterious, although she let a detail or two slip out.

“So you’re working for another girl here?” Blossom asked, Prose recoiled at her own mistake, “And it’s someone who would hate us, but wouldn’t want to get her hands dirty?” She continued.

“Uh…” Prose stumbled on her words, thinking of anything to say, “No, I’m just kidding! Why would I just give away important details about my boss?”

“We’re not buying that, you know?” Sunset responded.

“Ugh! Will you please just go into the traps? You wanna fight me and get all the information out of me, don’t you?” Prose shouted at them.

“Well, as you wish,” Sunset said, stepping forwards, but Blossom stopped her and jumped over a red dot tile. It turned out to be a proximity trap, which shot arrows into one of Blossom’s legs, she just barely made it to the next tile over, her leg seemed like it should be injured, but she had a trick on her, she had turned her leg into vines and made holes for the arrows to safely pass through, she was able to then take out the arrows, one of which she threw at Prose, knocking down her glasses.

“What was the point of that throw? My ability has nothing to do with my glasses, unlike that idiot, Double Vision,” Prose said.

“Yeah, but you needed them for a reason, didn’t you?” Blossom pointed out, Prose’s vision was indeed quite blurry without her glasses, meaning she couldn’t quite see Blossom getting closer to her, avoiding her traps with Gutterflower’s abilities. When Blossom was the closest, she threw a punch, her Stand shouting ‘ORA’, and flinging Prose out of that corridor and having the traps completely undone.

“What the heck?!” Prose shouted, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had rushed in at the other end of the corridor as well, Blossom let her pick up her glasses.

“All that talking was really just buying time for our friends to get here and help us finish you off, we didn’t quite get enough, so I switched to plan B, using your own traps against you,” Blossom began to explain herself, “You avoided them, which meant that the arrows and explosions could still harm you, so I threw an arrow into your glasses to make them fall off,” Blossom continued.

“How did you know that I had such bad vision?” Prose asked, stumbling to get up.

“I really didn’t, I just threw the arrow and hoped for the best,” Blossom admitted, “Anyways, it’s about time you got your punishment,” She said, menacingly.

“You’re not gonna do the punching thing, are you?” Prose asked, laughing nervously.

“Hmm…” Blossom thought of a moment, “Nah, I think detention is plenty for a petty, wannabe villain like you,” She said, grabbing Prose by the arm and taking her back to the detention room, where Luna and the teacher were talking to each other, waiting for the girls to return.

“Oh, I see you kept your word and actually went after the little magician,” Luna reacted with joy to the girls entering the room with Prose following just behind them.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” Rainbow said, not really caring about any ‘thank you’s or things of the sort.

“We found out that Prose isn’t working alone, we wanted to ask her about the other people in her team, if she has something of the sort,” Sunset said.

“Well, as long as you don’t leave the room, I will allow it,” Luna said, getting off her seat and leaving it to the teacher, who stayed awake to watch the girls questioning Prose and keep them from running away before the right time.

“Anyways, Ms. Purple Prose,” Blossom began, “Tell us a bit about the other Stand users in your little troupe,” She ordered.

To Be Continued…

Author's Note:

Think of all the anticlimactic fights in the actual Jojo manga, Mrs. Robinson, Chocolate Disco, Blue Hawaii, etc. I think those are still better than this chapter, the "fight" was mainly talking and then Blossom decides to be a badass because SHE'S TOTALLY NOT A MARY SUE, GUYZ!1!!

The next chapter will be mainly filler and estabilishing the next Stand fight, well, next few fights in this school arc, and if you can't figure out who's the arc's main villain by the start of Episode 6, I don't know what to say, this is a 6 piece puzzle, the image shouldn't be very hard to make out even with them separate.
