Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 9: One Year of Love

Chapter Three: Stand Training Pt. 1

The very next day, Josuke, Josui and Zeppeli were in the backyard, about to begin Stand training. "Mr. Zeppeli?" Josui asked. "Yes, young sir?" Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he said, "Amun's Stand grew five arms, while yours teleported us. How did that happened?" Zeppeli smiled and said, "Stands are different based on the individual, meaning that they use different powers. My Stand, the Black Parade can allow us to teleport with a couple of other powers as well. Your grandfather's Stand, Hermit Purple could see the future and your cousin, Jotaro Kujo's Stand, Star Platinum could also Stop Time for five seconds." Josui looked at his father. "What powers does your Stand have, Dad?" Josuke smiled at his son and replied, "My Stand, Crazy Diamond has the power to restore an object, whether it be damaged or just turning something younger. Unlike most Stand's powers, there were some... limitations." Before Josui could ask what he meant, Zeppeli interrupted.

"Josui, have you eaten? You don't look well." Shaking his head no, Josui said, "I'm fine, please stop acting like my grandmother." Zeppeli walked away and said, "Forgive me for helping."

Training began.

Zeppeli stood at one end of the backyard, while Josui stood at the other end. Josuke stood near the house, closer to Zeppeli than Josui. "Now, young Jojo. Your Stand will always defend you. But you must master how it will defend. Are you ready?" Before Josui could say yes, he was suddenly hit in the gut by Black Parade. Stumbling back, Zeppeli stared at him, "Never wait. Always be prepared. Try again."

Josui tried again, but was hit by Black Parade.

"Again."

Josui tried again, but was hit by Black Parade, again.

"Again."

Josui tried again, but he was knocked down by Black Parade again.

"Again."

Enraged, Josui wished he could fight back.  Every muscle in his body tightened all at once and he yelled out only one word.

"ENOUGH!!"

Like a blue flame, Josui's Stand bursted out of his body. The Stand stood eight feet tall, had a head of a dragon and from the neck down wore blue armor, held together by silver fabric underneath, similar to that of a Samurai's honor. While standing as a giant, the Stand wasn't extremly bulky, it had a body size equal to that of a normal teenage boy. Zeppeli smiled while Josuke was shocked of how terrifying his son's Stand was. Still in anger, the Stand held up its hand as if it were holding a blade. Then, water came out of nowhere and formed a throwing knife and threw it at Zeppeli. Before Zeppeli could fight back, Josuke's Stand, Crazy Diamond punched the water knife out of the air, turning it into regular water.

Crazy Diamond released his battle cry as he countered the Stand's water knifes. "DORA RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA!!!"

The Stand fought back as it cried out, "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!"

In shock, Josuke tried to stop Josui from harming himself or others with only one thing he could do. He walked around the two Stands and put his hands on Josui's shoulder. "Josui. Please, calm down." Suddenly, the Stand stopped fighting. Josui calmed down for a second, then ran back into the house and into his bedroom. Celine watched from the kitchen window and went to his bedroom door. She knocked and asked, "Josui, can I come in?" The only thing that came out was the sound of Josui's voice, "Go away, leave me alone!" Josuke walked in, went upstairs and saw Celine sitting outside his door. She seemed to start crying. Kneeling down beside her, Josuke said, "Hey, why don't you go down to the kitchen and get something to eat? You look like you're starving." She nodded and walked down the stairs with Zeppeli for something to eat, while Josuke knocked on the door. "Please, just go away!" He sternly, but calmly said, "Josui? Please open up the door. I just want to talk." There was a pause. "Please open the door. You know I can break the door down and fix it. But I'm not going to do that. Please, just let me in."
