The now grown Green Baby stared at all of you with its large, unblinking, red eyes. It had kept some of Whitesnake's earlier stripes, now with the addition of several arrows here and there.

Rather than waiting for it to do something, Jolyne opted to attack first. Stone Free delivered a punch to its gut. But when the enemy blocked the attack with its arm, her hand was forced to slam down on the side of the ticket booth. The skin on her hand beginning to suck in around the finger tips, tearing and tearing until five bloody nubs poked out. "M-My arm! It's turning inside out!"

"I will eliminate you." The Green Teenager let its voice be heard. "If you are not willing to wait two days..." It walked along the normal ground, unaffected by the gravity alteration.

"Bruno, grab Emporio! Move to a different ticket booth!" You wanted them away from the enemy.

"On it." Bruno scooped the kid up into his arms. Just like you, he wanted the kid out of harm's way as quickly as possible. He leaped over to Anasui's ticket booth, C-Moon's fists just barely nicking one of Emporio's shoes.

"Stone Free!" Jolyne tried an Ora rush.

"Kars!" You sent your Ultimate Being out to attack as well. But the enemy was both nimble, and strong, easily able to deal blows of its own while dodging the ones delivered against it.

"Hm?" Kars watched as his own arm began to invert, making yours follow suit. "This ability is strange, indeed. Not that this will be much of an issue for me to fix myself... I can just restructure my body to suit my needs..." His hand twisted around unnaturally before regaining its usual appearance. "Although, you can't exactly do the same thing, (Y/N). Are you okay?"

"The best thing might be to just get hit again. That way it can revert the gravity pull or whatever back to normal." Whenever you tried to heal the wound on your hand, it would just flip itself inside out again.

So Kars purposefully got punched in the arm again before leaping back next to you. "Better?" You gave a brief nod.

C-Moon sauntered over. "I'm going to... dispose of Jolyne Cujoh, first."

"Ah! My shoe!" Emporio's cleet unfurled from around his foot. "Jolyne, your hair is starting to flip, too!"

Bruno moved the kid a little further away from the edge of the booth. "So this Stand's ability seems to be to change the gravitational center of an object. But how exactly will this help with achieving the so-called Heaven Dio and his friend discussed? There might be more to it than what we're seeing now."

"Right... it's already apparent that White Snake has been reborn as the thing we now see before us." So you could only speculate on its true power level. "We should try and find Pucci if we plan to stop this Stand from doing anything." Even if the Stand was tough to beat, Pucci was still human. If you could just get past Dio, getting the priest hopefully wouldn't be too difficult.

C-Moon then punched through the side of the ticket booth, causing the metal to bend inside out. Jolyne managed a kick to its jaw, but it crushed her leg with its fists.

The Cujoh took your advice and let herself get hit again. "Yare yare dawa. Getting hit twice uninverts it, but I still need to patch it with my strings. At least we know for sure now that this thing can take damage." C-Moon was bleeding from her kick.

"Emporio!" Anasui looked over to the kid. "Take Bucciarati and climb out of here. I'm the one that's here for (Y/N) so I'll stay to help her out."

"You do realize that the whole reason I came to Florida was to help (Y/N), don't you? You're not the only one here to help her." Bruno just wanted to make that clear. "But (Y/N) also entrusted Emporio's safety with me." Of course, he would've tried to save the child regardless.
