บท 96: 96. King Crimson Part I ~Diablo, Like a King, Hunts...
(theme begins)
A portal opens in the streets of New York as everyone pops out from the portals.
The Crusaders and the Jazz Fusion each slowly rose from the ground.
"Crusaders... Fusion..." Miguel spoke softly. "Keep a lookout for any Stand-Users nearby. We need to check in to a hotel.Wait... Kariel. Where'd you teleport us?"
Kariel shrugs. "I just saw a vision of a city and walked right in."
Miguel looks around. "Oh... no...No!!!"
Miguel sees the ads on digital billboards. Nike, Orchidee, Red Lobster, Shoney's, Jersey Boys from Broadway, Wicked from Broadway, McDonald's, etc.
"NO!!!" howled Miguel. "We're in the worst place possible in the world!"
"New York?" asked Anne.
Miguel knelt down and screamed in horror. "AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! WRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!A place where being socially and politically correct is confusing and where everyone lives in a capitalist society!"
"Hey! We're Americans! That's rude!" yelled Gumball.
"Is he wrong, though?" asked Darwin.
"Not really."
"Come on, Miguel," said Anne, grabbing him and pulling him back. "We'll find a good hotel for us to stay in."
A guy bumps into Miguel.
"'EY!!! I'M WALKIN' HERE!!!"
"Oh, my, God..." said Patrick. "THAT GUY'S A STAND-USER!!!"
The Jazz Fusion freak out and beat the man to the ground.
"Boys... Stop," sighed Miguel.
"Sir, yes, sir!"
Miguel sighs. "Follow us... We know a good place in this city."
That night, the Crusaders and the Jazz Fusion stayed in the New York Marriott Marquis...
The next day...
The Stardust Crusaders and the Jazz Fusion gather around the dining hall.
"We're here for the river pools?" asked Gumball. "Geez... I've never even been able to have vacationed here. Free hotel service and we get paid for bizarre adventures? I love this job!"
"Gumball, we almost died just last night," Darwin replied. "You had a hole in your throat."
"Right!? Absolutely no catches!" laughed Gumball.
Miguel ate a lot of shrimp in the buffet area.
"You okay?" asked Anne. "You're eating bottom feeders. That's usually a bad sign."
"Goodbye healthy cholesterol," sighed Miguel. "I don't know, Anne... That bastard Jobin has the Arks of the Covenants and is planning to use us for equivalent exchange for power. We're basically the McGuffins this time. It's just like five years ago all over again... Only this time with those idiots!" Miguel yelled, pointing at the boys.
The Jazz Fusion is shown to be laughing while throwing 20 different types of sushi at each other.
"MONEY!!!" yelled Josuke, while his mouth and hands are filled with unagi.
"Idiots..." said Miguel, softly shaking his head.
"Well... Think of it as vacation before we have the wedding!" smiled Anne. "Like a pseudo-honeymoon!"
"It could be... But it'd work better if those dumbasses aren't here."
"CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG!!!" laughed the Jazz Fusion as Jake chugged a whole bucket of mayonnaise.
"We could have fun here while Kariel and Jed guard them," smiled Anne.
"Fine..." smiled Miguel. "If it'd make you happy.Kariel? Jed?"
"Sure thing, Kuya!" smiled the pair.
"Jed, never call me that," said Miguel, as the pair walked out of the buffet.
"We'd meet you all for dinner!" smiled Anne.
Later...
The Fusion is shown to be pillow fighting in their massive hotel room while Kariel and Jedan watch the television.
"Hey, Kuya Jedan?" asked Kariel. "How come that you can still use Hierophant in Stand Battles?"
"Apparently Stands and Ghosts could see and touch each other," said Ghost Jedan.
"Why... are you still here?" asked Kariel. "To haunt Kira, right?"
"Unfinished business, actually," said Ghost Jedan. "I don't know, actually... It was very unclear. Do I kill Kira? Does Kira even have anything to do with it?I was a Buddhist before dying, but I did in fact meet the Abrahamic God."
"What did he say?" asked Kariel.
"Some Jibber Jabber about fate and how I'm destined for something greater," said Ghost Jedan. "Since I'm a ghost, I'm bound to objects. I'm actually bound to Miguel for some reason."
"Why didn't you just heal Kuya back then?"
"Some mumbo jumbo about alien Stand germs getting poisoned from rocks or whatever."
Ghost Jedan drinks some soda.
Ghost Jedan looks at Josuke, who laughs with the others.
"He's not happy," said Ghost Jedan.
"Hm?" asked Kariel.
"The kid... Josuke."
"How can you tell?"
"His laughter and his smiling... They're forced."
"Is it because his mom and uncle abandoned his family and that they're going to conquer the world together?"
"Perhaps."
Ghost Jedan gives a big sigh. "We've been through a lot, haven't we? Hunting Kira, sailing through the waters of the Philippines, Hunting Kira again, fighting the Eradicator..."
"We didn't even do much when fighting Eradicator! Hahaha!"
"...and now we're here... A ghost psychologist and a cowboy guarding an alternate version of our leader and a bunch of cartoon characters just hanging out in a hotel in New York."
Kariel nods. "Did you know that the price for this room is half a tuition fee?"
"Yep... done caring about and contemplating on life. Let's love being rich and abuse Miguel's money more."
"YEAH!!!" yelled everyone else.
At 12 pm...
Josuke, Finn, and Jake are sitting on the couch. Spongebob, Patrick, and Darwin are playing billiards. Gumball is spraying whipped cream in his mouth. Kariel is on the couch on his phone.
"Alright... That's lunch," said Ghost Jedan. "Buffet time, bitches."
Ghost Jedan slowly stands up.
Suddenly...
Everyone is in different positions. Ghost Jedan is 10 steps forward.
Kariel is standing up.
Josuke, Jake, and Gumball are in the bathroom and are wet and shirtless.
"Ugh!" yelled the three of them.
Finn had tripped and is on the ground.
Spongebob and Patrick are in one of the billiard's holes.
Darwin is holding a stick like a spear.
"Uh..." said Finn. "What... Just happened?"
"Oh.... shit!" Ghost Jedan checks his watch.
Kariel looks at the time as well. He looks up to Ghost Jedan. "Ten seconds."
"What's happening?" asked Jake.
"He's here," said Ghost Jedan.
Suddenly... once more, everyone is in different positions from before.
"What's happening?"
It happened once more...
"What is happening-... WILL YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING!?" asked Gumball.
"Diablo... He's a Stand-User Mafioso and Soldado of Salvi before he died. He's one of the guys who left the Mafia when Miguel became head and integrated The New World Order into Helsing, saying that Salvi was a much better leader," replied Kariel, as he loaded then cocked his revolver. "All-Star!"
All-Star ACT 1 emerges from Kariel. "Yoshi! Yeshu, Karieru-senpai?"
"Scout the area for nearby enemies."
"Okay!" smiled ACT 1.
Ghost Jedan prepared Hierophant Green as it prepared its Emerald Splash.
Everyone else prepared their Stands.
"He hadn't erased time in years," said Ghost Jedan.
"Why didn't we ever experience erased time?" asked Darwin.
"He is only able to erase 10 seconds of the time per Universe. Like how Kuya's time stops don't affect other Universes but the time stream adjusts itself to that Universe's time," said Kariel. "Look out for Diablo."
"HE'S HERE!!!" yelled ACT 1.
Diablo slowly emerges from the balcony's edge, climbing to the surface, and landing on his feet.
"TIME ADVENTURE!!!"
"KING CRIMSON!!!"
Time erased.
Time returned.
Everyone's in different positions once more. However, this time, everyone's Stands look like they've been punching at something.
Kariel bites his finger as he lets his blood drip on the floor.
One drop of blood is on the floor.
Time erased.
Time returned.
Ten drops of blood are on the floor.
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*
The bullets curved toward Diablo, but Diablo erased time once more and dodged each bullet.
Kariel reloads his gun.
Suddenly, Kariel's eyes are blinded with blood.
"GAH!!!"
"SPLASH!!!"
*shoo*
*boom*
Diablo dodges the attack once more.
"We've already captured JoJo and Zeppeli," whispered Diablo.
Darwin transforms into a dog and leaped toward Diablo.
Time was erased once more and time returned.
Darwin is beaten to the ground.
Finn, Jake, Patrick, and Gumball did their individual rushes but Diablo dodged once more and beat everyone during the erased time.
"Bunk! How can we fight someone whose previous moves we can't remember!?" asked Finn.
"And why does he look like a woman?" asked Patrick to himself.
"I know! I'll just wish for something that can help us with this barnacle head!" smiled Spongebob.
"I don't think an object exists to fight against erased time..." said Gumball.
"The only guy who can beat this guy is probably Mr. Reaper..." said Jake.
"ALL-STAR!!!" yelled Kariel once more as he blasted more shots at Diablo.
Diablo dodged once more.
"Time stop actually beats King Crimson..." said Finn.
"Well... For Miguel's experience, his time stops were predicted by Diablo..." said Ghost Jedan. "SPLASH!!!"
*shoo*
*boom*
"How can we beat this guy!?" asked Finn.
"Miguel could erase time as well," said Ghost Jedan.
"THEN WHERE IS HE!? HE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE TIME BEING ERASED!!!" asked Kariel.
"We had eliminated them both, Kariel JoJo..." said Diablo. "Now, prepared to die..."
