~9~

Helloo it's time for chapter 9.

There were now two hooks going in our direction. "There is a rock right there! Let's get under it!" Johnny pointed at a rock shelf. "B2T, teleport us!" I ordered while holding Johnny and we got sent under it. "What a relief! You are really reliable, Y/N!" Johnny praised me. "It's not time to be relieved! Be careful!" I warned him. I was really worried about our safety, and not to mention, about where Gyro was.
The hooks tried getting to us under the rock, but they kept bumping into it. "Y/N... Gyro's baggage and mine.. Could it be that the stand user is searching for something..?" he questioned. "..And the thing that went into my left arm.. You saw it. It looked like a mummified arm!" He exclaimed. I really didn't know what to think. "I don't know Johnny.. But you are right! They got Gyro, then his luggage, now they are after us! They must be searching for something!" I came to the conclusion. "Exactly! Even Oyecomova and Stroheim... They were after this all along!" He agreed with me. "Yes, that must be it! But what is it? That arm..." I questioned..

"Y/N, where exactly is Gyro? Where is the enemy? He isn't dead, right?" Johnny was really nervous. "How can I know? But he is probably alive, even if the enemy's goal is to find that arm, they wouldn't kill him until they retrieve it." I tried making Johnny a little bit less concerned. "Y/N- what do we do?? Isn't your stand strong, please do something!" I failed to calm him down. "I'm thinking right now.. just wait." I was thinking of a way to defeat the enemy. Then my stand came out. "Try going out and luring it to catch you. The hook must be connected to the stand user. So you can try going there, but there is a possibility that you fail." B2T gave me the idea. "No! That's too dangerous, let's think of another way!" Johnny complained. "Yes, I have to try, there's no other way. We need to save Gyro." I finally decided what I was about to do.
"Alright, I'm doing it" I was getting mentally prepared.

Just then, a beetle appeared right in front of us. It was kind of cute. "Eh- That spot is taken, you'll have to make reservations for another time." Johnny shoved it away. Then all of a sudden the hook appeared from it. It immediately caught him again and dragged him out. "Johnny!!" I shouted. "Y/N! Help!!" he yelled out. "You have to be kidding me! It's not like I wanted this 'mummified' arm, so just take it away!!" He screamed out loud.
I tried grabbing his leg and dragging him back. "Y/N, no! Let them take it!-" He tried releasing himself from my grip, but I still wouldn't let him go. Then something pink came out of his arm. "What? Out of the mummy hand?" I thought to myself. "Johnny what's that?!!" "I don't know either!" he shouted back at me. Then the pink thing started saying some things. I couldn't make out what it was speaking to him. "Johnny what is it saying!!" I tried getting closer. "Y/N stay back!" He pushed me back under the rock shelf. I fell on my back, and suddenly he shot nail bullets out of his feet. "Wha-?!" I got up. "This thing- It just saved me! It made my nails shot out from my lame feet!!" He screamed. The pink thing was still on his hand. "What the hell are you?!" Johnny looked at it. Then B2T came out again. "It's obvious that it's his stand, though, I don't know how he must have gotten it." My stand clearly mocked Johnny. Then I saw that he was looking at something. I got closer to see. "What's happening?-" His stand was writing a text on his hand. Then after it was done, it went back into his hand. I was speechless. "It wrote something on my arm!?? What does it say, Y/N? Can your stand read that?" He asked me. Then I took a good look at it. "Johnny- that's latin. I'm not that dumb-" I could make out the words 'Movere crūs'. "It translates as 'move leg', or more like 'move your leg'..." I told him. "Huh- What's that's supposed to mean??" He looked at me. "Look, I'm just as confused as you are, I'm not that smart." I got up from the ground. "Now... The enemy must be close, let's go." I looked around and headed towards my horse. "Hey! I think you forgot I can't actually move my legs. *sad Johnny noises*" He yelled and I remembered that his horse was gone too. "Oh yeah, right. Come here. I guess I'll be your personal carrier." I picked him up from the ground.

I saw that he had blood all over him. He was really injured. "Where does it hurt the most?" I asked. I had some medicine in my stuff. "My cheek- and my arm." He said. "Alright, I'll treat your wounds once we find Gyro."

I was looking around trying to find a clue. Then I saw one of Gyro's balls. "Hey! Johnny look at this!" The ball was going west. "Gyro must be there! He is still alive!" I pointed to some rocks that were that way. Then we both saw the hooks going in our direction once again."B2T! Teleport us right there!" I called out. Then in just a second, we were about 40 meters away. "Y/N! That's Gyro! He is hanging from that one cliff!" Johnny pointed. When I looked up, I saw Gyro having his hair tied up on a cliff. He seemed unconscious. "Damn, he got his wig snatched-" "Y/N it's not time for that. Can't you be serious just once!? Let's go beat the shit out of the enemy and get him and our stuff back!" But I couldn't help it. He really got his wig snatched. "Alright chill, stop ordering me. After all, I'm the one who's carrying you all the time." I complained. Then I teleported us just behind Gyro. We saw a green freak with some bamboo sticks on his head. "That must be our enemy..." I signed to Johnny to be quiet. "What?? Where did those idiots go?" The weird person said. "Aghh fuck, so annoying! But I won't lose to crackheads like them!" he got mad.
Then I decided to approach him. "And.. Who may you be searching for?". He turned to us. "Huh?! No way!" He screamed in disbelief and jumped back. "I'm sorry, but you lost." I cockily said. Then I gave a sign to Johnny shot his nail bullets at him. "AGHH! No way!-" He fell on his back.

His face and body were really distorted. We weren't sure if he was alive or not. "Johnny! We did it!" I hugged him. "Yeah! Now let's free Gyro and win this race!"

I climbed to the top of the cliff and untied Gyro's hair. B2T was holding him so he wouldn't fall. I jumped down and put Gyro on the ground. "Hey, Gyro..." I checked for his pulse and breathing. Everything was fine. "How is he?" Johnny asked with a worried tone. "...His pulse and breathing are okay... I think he is just unconscious. Let's just get our stuff and put him on his horse. He must wake up very soon."
We found all our luggage and got it back on our horses.
"Gyrooo, wakey wakey, we have a race to win." I tried waking him up again after I treated his and Johnny's wounds. "Mh..." He let out a noise. Then he slowly opened his eyes. "I- Y/N!" He finally woke up. "Yes Gyro, that's your favorite Y/N that you are seeing right now. Now please get on your horse and let's go." I told him. "Guys! Are you both okay?" He was looking around kind of confused. "Yes, we are. We defeated that man, don't worry. Now get up already." I told him once again. "I'm so glad, I thought you both would die! I was so worried!" he sobbed and hugged me. "Anyways, can we go now? I missed you too, yes." I told him for the third time. "Y/N..." Johnny face palmed. He was silently judging us from his horse. "Alright, alright! I was going to get murdered and just woke up now! Give me some timee!" He cried out and finally got up. He cleaned himself a bit.

"Hey isn't that Diego!" Johnny pointed. "Yeah that's him! And also Sandman! We have no time to lose! Let's go!"
Gyro got on his horse. "Just to inform ya'll... I'm certainly going to be first in this stage!" He flashed his golden teeth. "Okay! Let's see if you can surpass Dio and Sandman then!" I teased. Then we all started heading towards the goal.
Time skip to the final stretch.

It was 18 days since we started, and we had only 600 meters to the finishing line. Gyro was in the front. Johnny, Diego, Sandman and me were behind him. I decided to speed up and try to aim for second place, but as I was doing so, some newspapers got in our way. I tried pushing them off, but I saw Johnny picking one up. "Gyro- This is! Y/N, look! This newspaper!" Johnny held it out. "Johnny, it's not time for that!" Gyro shouted. "Look! it's just like the letters on my arm! It's the same shape, a place! They are telling us to go there!" Johnny said, but I decided to ignore him and win this stage first. And then we all crossed the finish line.

"In first place is Diego Brando! Second goes to Y/N L/N. In third is Johnny Joestar. Fourth goes to Gyro Zeppeli and fifth to Sandman." The announcer said. Second place wasn't all that bad in my opinion. "Huh? What did he say? Wait a second! Why did you two finish before me?! Don't fuck with me like that!" We pissed him off. It was his fault he got distracted after all...
I decided to go straight on to the third stage. I planned to be in first place. Johnny and Gyro followed behind too, and so did the others. I slowed a little so Gyro and Johnny could catch up. "Hey guys! We are gonna travel together again, right?" Johnny asked. I enjoyed being with them, so I really did want to. "I am in! What about you Y/N?" Gyro questioned. "Of course I'll join you too!" I happily answered him. Then we headed towards the Rocky Mountains...
