The Ludicrous Escapade Pt.4

Ground Zero

"Hi there." You gave a casual wave while staying crouched on the balcony's railing.

While the enemy had been told you were on the veranda below, he certainly did not expect for you to just hop on up. His shoulders tensed. He couldn't exactly do anything to you when you were on the same floor as him. His Stand was quite limited in that sense. "Stay back! I-I can still kill Kira and your other friend!"

"Is that so?" You only half listened to him as you gave the snake still hanging from your neck a pat on the head. You had spotted a singular, small pet tank left on the ground. Had that been what he was using to house the ten or so snakes he had tossed down? It was definitely not a Kars approved way of animal care. "What's your name? Y'know, just in case I need to put it on your tombstone later."

He started to take a step back only for him to slip onto his bum. His attempts to get back on his feet were less than successful. It didn't take you long to infer that Gappy must've done something with his own Stand. Removing the floor's friction, or something similar. It was a good thing you were still standing on the railing.

When the enemy began sliding toward the balcony, Kars grabbed the man by his ankle and held him over the edge. "(Y/N) asked you a question. Unless you want to-"

"Ora! Ora! Ora!"

The Ultimate Being went silent when Soft & Wet started punching the enemy. It grabbed the enemy by his coat and tried to tug him onto that floor.

When it didn't work, Gappy leaned over the rail to take look at the floor above. Only now had he realized that the enemy had not fallen off and was instead being held there. "Are you planning to question him first?"

"I don't really care either way. You can have a go at it if you want." You signaled for Kars to let go of the man.

"The antidote to the snake venom is in the inner left pocket of his jacket." Kars assisted in letting you back down as Gappy tossed the enemy into the living room amongst the many snakes.

"Ugh!" The guy frantically tried to shoo the snakes away, not willing to fall victim to one of his own traps.

Gappy yanked him by the coat again, this time holding him up against the wall as he removed the antidote from the pocket to administer it to himself. "Don't even think about trying anything. You're going to tell me everything."

"You... You're... This can't be!" The enemy's whole body was shaking.

Yasuho was still standing in the walkway, very much confused. What exactly had happened while she was out? She hadn't been gone for that long, had she?

"Now, talk! Who am I!" Gappy wasn't keen on the thought of waiting any longer. He wanted answers.

"Uh... uhh..." The enemy scooted backwards onto the couch, his left arm fumbling around for something.

The malice on Gappy's face went away for a second as he turned his head. "Yasuho. (Y/N). Would you just look over there for a second?"

"Huh? Over where?" The pinkette tried to figure out where he was referring to.

You didn't listen.

Gappy kicked the guy in the ribs. "Don't fuck with me! Keep your hands still. Didn't you hear me? I said don't try anything. You just made some quick move, didn't you?"

"Do you need further encouragement to talk?" Asked Kars, his hand resting on your back as you moved closer to the enemy. "I'll do the honor of letting you know that I can shift parts of myself into animals. How does getting eaten alive by rats sound? Is that torture method still in fashion?"
