"Ryle? Ryle... Come in..." said Miguel.
Miguel, Anne, Kariel, and Ghost Jedan have been captured and taken into a Stand-Disabling glass chamber centered in a metallic room. Miguel managed to contact Ryle via a small chip on his shoulder.
"Ryle... Why can't the cavalry arrive?" asked Miguel, with his bones still snapped while he laid on the ground. His bones stuck out of his flesh like a blade.
"Because for one thing... Shields are up for both dimensional and atmospheric territorial lines," said Ryle, checking the computer with secret agent mumbo jumbo. He types at great speed. "We can't go to your dimension because your dimension is sealed in every way possible."
"Right... Plankton..." sighed Miguel.
"Ha...ha...ha...ha...ha...ha...ha..." cackled Stefan, walking into the room that contains the glass chamber. "I am a goofball... But it overshadows the darkness within me, Miguel JoJo!"
"Cringe," said Ghost Jedan.
"Wait... Stephen's there?" asked Ryle. Ryle turns around to the whole Weeb Town. "Yo! Guys! Stephen's here!"
"He's Stefan now, apparently," said Anne, with a partially annoyed expression. "Guys... Please get us outta here... He won't stop talking about myself."
"Have I ever told you about how I had beautiful luscious anime sex with my cousin?" asked Stefan, putting his fists on his hips akimbo.
"Exorcism needed..." gasped Miguel. "Eardrums yeeted."
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Anne.
"Losing... too much... blood..." gasped Miguel, trembling next to her. "Can't... make... full... sentences..."
"You... BASTARD!!! You KNOW Miguel takes grammar seriously!" yelled Zed, walking up from behind Ryle. "What have you done to him!?"
"Yo," said Yang, walking up behind Zed. "Lolis, baby."
"Yo. Stephen calls himself Stefan now and beat the shit outta Miguel," said Zed.
Yang gives off a hearty laugh. "He got beat by StEpHeN!?"
"I'll tear out your organs and wrangle them all over your face," said Stefan, clenching his jaw, sneering.
"I wanna do something like that, too, in case he insults me again..." said Miguel, raising his hand.
"Yo, Jed. Did you flag Lord's video yet?" asked Zed.
"I don't wanna do that, Zed. This is getting kinda mean," said Ghost Jedan.
"What is?" asked Lord, wooshing into the room in his Superhero Costume.
"Nothing," Zed gave a terrified grin.
Lord turns to Zed's PC.
"ARE YOU FLAGGING MY VIDEOS!?" asked Lord. "DUDE!!!"
"HAHAHAHA!!! I'm sorry... That is not funny," said Miguel. "God... hurts to laugh... Still bleeding..."
Anne smacks the back of Miguel's head.
"Ow! Fuck!" yelled Miguel. "Guys? Is there any way for the cavalry to arrive?" asked Miguel, very calmly.
Celine joins the call.
"Yoo... Waddup..." said Celine.
"Celine," said Jedan, squinting his eyes.
"Jedan," said Celine, squinting hers.
The group entered silence as they awkwardly tried to break the ice.
"Wonderful weather we're having," smiled Miguel.
"Will you shut up, man?" asked Ghost Jedan, sobbing softly.
"Sorry," said Miguel, bowing his head in absolute shame.
"This is so awkward... even for my standards," said Stefan.
"ASSHOLE!!! YOU HAVE NO STANDARDS!!!" yelled Lei II, entering the call.
"Ah... My cousin... LEI!!!" sneered Stefan.
"Oh, what the fuck!?" asked Lord. "You had sex with Stefan!?"
"No!" said Lei II. "That was the other cousin! Wilhelm, sweetie!"
"Wait... Stephen's gay? Never mind... Not questioning-... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND HELP SINCE I'M DYING!?" howled Miguel.
Uncle Lei enters the call.
"Hey, Uncle Lei!" smiled Lei II.
"Yo," said Lei the First. "What are you kids up to?"
"Shut up. You're our age," said Zed, as Lei the First cackled.
"We really need the cavalry to arrive, guys!" yelled Miguel. "Please... *cough cough*..."
"Stefan's a Superhero now but is actually Homelander. Or...Omni-Man... I dunno," said Anne.
"I told you I should've looked out for that idiot!" yelled Lei the First.
Lei the Second sighs and gives her Uncle twenty pesos.
"I'm realizing that my bones are still... sticking out of my fucking legs..." said Miguel. "I'm bleeding. Can someone please send help?"
"Haha!" laughed Yang. "Stephen broke your legs!"
"Hey! He's way stronger than he already is! And he's Stefan now!" yelled Miguel.
"Yeah!" yelled Stefan.
"YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY IN SPEAKING INTO THIS CALL, YOU BATSHIT CRAZY FACE-TWISTED IDIOT!!!" yelled Miguel.
Kariel wakes up. "Whoa! Kuya! Where am I?"
"Hell," replied Miguel, trembling and bleeding.
"Have you tried zipping his legs up?" asked Van, entering the call.
"Why... is everyone here in this call?" trembled Miguel.
"I can't really zip Miguel's flesh wounds closed. They aren't symmetrical enough for the zippers to properly close it. And the bones are sticking out of his legs. They're like Wolverine claws, but not really," smiled Anne.
"Well... here's my diagnosis," said Ryle. "Yeah... we can't think of anything."
Everyone said something along the lines of, "Yeah..." or "Sorry, man..." and one even said, "We'll send you a gift card if you survive this." That guy was most likely Zed.
"Fuck..." whispered Miguel, as he closed the call. "I know that they're stressed fighting Stand-Using aliens... but... God..."
"Wait..." said Miguel. "I sense... Josuke... Gumball... He has them..."
"Great!" smiled Kariel. "Josuke could fix you up!"
"No..." replied Miguel. "This is bad... I get it now... He's huddling us together in one spot where we have no Stands for a reason...*gasp*...To kill us..."
Spongebob begins singing with Patrick in his muscular male voice.
Spongebob, Patrick, and Darwin are underwater in the Bikini Bottom, playing music in Krusty Krab 2. Well... Darwin is outside since he's too big to enter it.
"Hey... I'm a freshwater fish... How am I-?"
"The winner takes all!!!It's the thrill of one more kill!!!The last one to fall!!!Will never sacrifice their will!!!"
Patrick strums the guitar while clenching his jaws.
Darwin crosses his arms, watching the amazing music the pair is creating.
Patrick softly nudges Spongebob's arm.
"YO!!!" yelled Spongebob. "You killin' my thrill, man!?"
"No! Are you!?" asked Patrick, as the pair let their chests out and bump them together.
"Will you two stop it!?" asked Darwin. "We've been practicing for 16 HOURS!!!"
"As having a Ph.D. of Wumbology I diagnose you with killjoy!" yelled Patrick, pointing to Darwin.
"I'm taking a nap," sighed Darwin, walking away and falling flat face-first on the floor.
8 hours later...
Darwin wakes up.
"Huh?" asked Darwin, waking up as he spits the sand out of his mouth.
"Ugh... Liquid sand," said Darwin. Darwin tastes the sand. "Dolomite? Ew."
Darwin stands up and sees that it's nighttime. The Krusty Krab is very quiet and Darwin realizes that something's wrong.
"Yo! Guys!" Darwin said, leaning down to the small restaurant. "Something's wrong. Bikini Bottom's awfully quiet.Guys?"
*ribbit*
*croak*
A small frog swims around Darwin.
"Wait..." said Darwin. "A saltwater frog? Cool!Wait...There are no saltwater frogs."
*ribbit*
*croak*
The frog kicks, propelling itself in the sea, and swims around Darwin's face.
*croak*
*croak*
*croak*
Darwin notices that its eyes are robotic and lifeless.
Darwin transforms into a barracuda and hisses at it.
*CROAK*
"WABADI!!!" yelled the "frog."
"AXEL F!!!" yelled someone.
Televisions, boats, electric grills, electric deep fryers, radios, remotes, fans, microwaves, toasters, cables, and several other forms of technology combine like a Decepticon and transform into a giant frog with the frog at the center about the size of Darwin.
*croak*
"Oh, dear God," said Darwin.
Meanwhile...
Rob teleports the pair into the chamber by snapping his fingers as they drop on the ground.
"Kid?" asked Miguel, as he leans down to Josuke. "You okay, there?"
"I'm fine, Mr. Reaper..." smiled Josuke, as he slowly looked up. "I just broke a few ribs-... Oh my Gosh."
Miguel is shown to be bleeding heavily and scarred all over. Many of his wounds have stopped bleeding primarily because Anne used Sticky Fingers to zip them closed. Scars are found all over. Many of his bones are broken and a mark is on the ground under his body, showing that he's been in this position for a long time. Josuke is mostly scarred by Miguel's bone, which sticks out from his legs.
Gumball covers his mouth as he gagged in disgust.
"Mr. Reaper! I'll heal you up! Don't worry!" yelled Josuke.
"You can't... Our Stands have been disabled in this chamber," trembled Miguel.
"Hm..." said Josuke, looking around. He sees that the glass chambers have a straight horizontal line of holes at the center of the glass box. "I have an idea."
Josuke woges and tears out a string from his jacket using his claw. He woges back to normal.
Meanwhile, Stefan listens to music in his neon headphones and bangs his head up and down to listen to death metal.
"My string is made out of reinforced carbon and spider silk," said Josuke. "It's a royal family thing. My idea is that we should sew the string all in the holes"
"No," said Miguel. "That's too risky. We should sit and wait."
"And let you die!?" asked Josuke.
"They have The Ark of the Covenant. It'd be a huge risk to try to do something stupid like break out with Stefan in the room," said Miguel.
"Mr. Reaper, I'm invincible," smiled Josuke.
"Josuke... Don't-..." said Miguel, but Josuke is already doing it.
"Josuke. Listen to Miguel," said Anne, as she confiscates Josuke's jacket.
"Hmph," said Josuke, crossing his arms and looking away.
Meanwhile...
Darwin transforms into a tiger shark and bites into a metallic frog.
"Tiger sharks can bite metals..." said Darwin in his head. "...perfect form in fighting this robot-frog made of various metal."
"Ngahahahahahahahahaha!"
Darwin's eyes widen. "Who's talking?"
"It is I... SHELDON J. PLANKTON!!!" yelled Plankton, a microscopic speck.
"PFFT!!! Hahahaha!" he laughed softly. "Sheldon..." he shook his head, smiling.
"I will say that your form is naught for my Stand, Axel F!!!" yelled Plankton.
*croak*
The frog hops toward Darwin as Darwin dodges the frog's mouth and bites its next.
The frog shoots its tongue into Darwin's face. Darwin bites the metallic frog's neck and tries to maul it.
The frog grabs Darwin's legs and slams Darwin's face into the sand.
*CROAK*
"WABADI!!!" yelled Axel F, leaping and crashing Darwin to the ground. Axel F gains razor-sharp metallic teeth as it digs into Darwin's flesh, biting his left fin.
Darwin screams underwater and shakes his head left and right.
Darwin growls and bites into the frog's eye.
Spongebob and Patrick, meanwhile, are sleeping on the floor with several empty sundae glasses all over the floor of the Krusty Krab 2.
Meanwhile...
Everyone in the chamber is now asleep, except for Josuke.
Josuke sees Stefan, smiling with a Hentai Magazine over his eyes while sitting on a chair.
"Psst! Jimmin Stephen!" whispered Josuke.
Stefan's finger twitched for a second.
"Jimmin Stephen!" whispered Josuke. "Am I making you mad, Stuphen?"
"Darkness... the existence of all within a territory of no light," whispered Stefan. "Darkness exists only because light... does not... Without light... there is no darkness... and vice versa. Here you are, an insignificant creature of darkness, an Aswang, mocking a creature of the light, a god. Though I may be a god, it hides the unadulterated darkness within me. This darkness is far beyond the expectations of my peers. This is a darkness that gnaws on the strings that puppeteer your very lifelines.I may be a goofball, but that overshadows the darkness in my heart.So... if you even dare to mock me again... I will make you fall before me."
"Jimmin Stephen!"
*CLANG*
Josuke's neck is grabbed by Stefan as he crashes outside.
"JOSUKE!!!" yelled Miguel, waking up.
Everyone wakes up in fear.
Gumball trembled in fear as Rock Bottom pulls him out as well, as he shattered the glass outside.
Stefan then presses a button on the table as the glass closes shut.
Josuke and Gumball struggle out of Stefan's and Rock Bottom's grasps.
Stefan's eyes dart to each of them.
"JOSUKE!!!" yelled Miguel, as he tries to stand up but stumbles on the ground. Anne grabs him as Miguel trembles some more.
"Wait... I'll do anything..." gasped Josuke. "Just please... let me heal Mr. Reaper."
Stefan grimaces.
"I'll let you heal The Reaper if you fight me. I have to set an example for each of you goofballs," said Stefan. "You win, I'll let one of you out and warn the five. I win, you'll have to lose something very important to you..."
Josuke thinks. "My luck won't fail me now."
"Josuke, no..." said Miguel. "Your luck only allows the improbable to become more probable. It doesn't make the impossible possible."
Josuke sighs.
"Let's do this," said Josuke, smiling.
"Kid! You cannot beat him!" yelled Miguel.
"Trust me, Mr. Reaper! I've got this!" smiled Josuke.
Meanwhile...
Darwin had been beaten to near-death by Plankton's Axel F and is captured by his jellyfishing net. Psy-Crab grabs the pair of idiots and puts them in his armor.
*clickity clackity clickity clackity...*
"Sheldon..." whispered Psy-Crab. "I have captured the pair of dolts."
"I have captured the famed Darwin Watterson... Ngahahahaha..." laughed Plankton. "Now we will have what we are promised and RULE THE WORLD!!! Also have people go to my restaurant, the Chum Bucket."
"You feed fish ground-up fish? And I thought I was diabolical," said Psy-Crab.
"Huh... Rethinking my life choices right there," said Plankton. "So, what's your deal?"
"I'm just a crab who has a Stand," said Psy-Crab. "You."
"I AM PLANKTON!!! I AM EVIL!!!" yelled Plankton. "Also, my business rival, the sponge's boss, screwed me over when I was working with him as his partner. I was also bullied a lot when I was younger. THAT IS WHY I WANT TO DOMINATE EVERYTHING!!!Coincidentally, my business rival is also a crab."
"Perhaps we can make a partnership, Sheldon J. Plankton," smiled Psy-Crab.
"I agree, Sycharus Newton Einstein Fermat Archimedes Crab III," smiled Plankton.
Meanwhile...
Miguel is completely healed as Prince cured Miguel inside.
"Whatever the hell you're doing, Josuke, it's absolutely stupid," said Miguel, looking rather annoyed.
"Trust me, Mr. Reaper! I'll be A-Okay!" smiled Josuke.
Josuke turns around and faces Stefan.
"PRINCE!!!"
Nothing happens to Stefan. Probability, this time, is on Stefan's side.
"Nothing's happening... Any frisbees? Pianos? Airplane doors?" asked Josuke. "Anything to try and injure Stefan?"
"You don't understand... Josuke," said Miguel. "NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN DEFEAT STEFAN!!!"
Stefan picks Josuke up and snaps his spin in half by dropping Josuke on his knee.
Josuke screams, falling to the ground.
"JOSUKE!!!" yelled Gumball, as Weird Like U.N. Me blasts its fist toward Stefan.
*bzzt*
A small beam of light blasted into Gumball's neck as his blood splattered on the ground.
*gasp*
"GUMBALL!!!" yelled Josuke.
"Josuke, Josuke, Josuke..." whispered Stefan. "Here you are, trying to find your purpose. Your reason to live is what motivates you."
Stefan approaches Josuke very slowly.
"Are you trying to argue against the Universe that someone out there loves or even cares for you? Are you trying to find purpose so that you'd use it as a trump card against the cruelty of the Universe? Too fucking bad, Josuke Higashikata... Your fate is to be absolutely unloved by everyone... and everything. I know how you feel. I understand. So... join me, Josuke Higashikata...Your heroism is something very important to you. Join me, and we will be dark together."
"Why the heck do you keep saying 'dark!?'" yelled Josuke. "Cringe! Gosh..."
Stefan cackles and steps on his arm, snapping the bone in half. Josuke screams in agony as Stefan grabs his mouth.
"JOIN ME!!!" yelled Stefan. "Join... me... Step down from your throne... and join us as a servant..."
"Uh... No?" asked Josuke.
Stefan grabs his arm and snaps his other arm's bone in half.
Josuke sobs, screaming even louder.
"Spiral staircase..."
"Stefan... Don't... do this..." whispered Miguel.
"Why didn't you just destroy the Ark of the Covenant, JoJo?" Stefan.
"Because that would mean the end of all reality," replied Miguel. "Stefan! STEFAN!!! STEFAN!!! NO!!!"
"...Rhinoceros beetle, Desolation Row, Fig tart, Rhinoceros beetle, Via Dolorosa, Rhinoceros beetle, Singularity point, Giotto, Angel, Hydrangea, Rhinoceros beetle, Singularity point, Secret emperor...Spiral staircase-..."
*GASP*
Josuke drops to the ground. "PRINCE!!!"
His Stand doesn't emerge.
"Prince... Prince? Prince!"
Stefan sneers.
"What... WHAT DID YOU DO!?" sobbed Josuke. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY STAND!?"
Stefan grabs Josuke and Gumball as The Reverse-Flash zooms in and phases them inside the chamber.
The group gathers around the pair. Anne zips Gumball's throat closed as Gumball trembled. His saliva foams and his eyes roll back to his head.
"I told you that I'd take something important," sneered Stefan.
Stefan stomped outside as The Reverse-Flash gives them a long look and zooms away.
Miguel looks at Josuke with contempt.
"What good am I?" whispered Josuke.
"What!?" hissed Miguel.
"I have no Stand, Mr. Reaper!" yelled Josuke. "What good am I?"
"You lost your Stand and you nearly got Gumball AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS ROOM KILLED!!! Do you think you're the fucking hero? HUH!?" asked Miguel, clenching his jaw. Miguel closes his eyes, turns away, and gives a sigh, composing himself. "When I tell you to listen, listen."
"If you really cared for me, you'd give me a chance to -..."
"To what!?" asked Miguel.
"I'm meant to fix things!"
"You're meant to stand down when I tell you to. You're not a hero, Josuke. You're a child who needs help like every other Goddamned child."
"Like you?" Josuke looks at Miguel, angrily.
Miguel looks at Josuke with absolute anger and disgust.
"I'm a hero for a reason... You're acting like you don't care that I lost something that makes me who I am," said Josuke. "I always thought that my Stand made me important. I always thought I didn't deserve my Stand... Because... You never cared... NO ONE EVER CARED... ABOUT ME!!!"
"Yes, I do. I care about you, Josuke. And no one's Stand defines who they are. Josuke... You lost your Stand and you almost got everyone killed simply because you didn't listen. And all you're caring about right now is yourself and that stupid Stand of yours. It isn't only about you, Josuke. And people do care about you."
"BUT WHAT GOOD AM I!? WHAT DOES HAVING NO STAND MAKE ME!?"
"It makes you nothing."
Josuke stares at Miguel with guilt and heartbreak.
"I'm nothing without this Stand, Mr. Reaper..."
"Then you're right. You never deserved your Stand."
Josuke turns around and holds his tears.
"You could've taken it easy," said Anne.
"He needs this," sighed Miguel.
