The Hamon users, the Vampires, the Pillar Men. Many years ago, these forces did battle against each other. However, what if there was another form of power, one that had the potential to dwarf all three. STANDS!

Wandering for a good hour or two didn't yield much results. I didn't know where they'd gone, or if they'd split up at all. I walked around aimlessly for a moment, not encountering a separated member of the Joestar group.
EXCEPT Joseph. I exited an alley onto a busy street where I saw him in his skirmish with Empress. Given that Nena was already dealing with him, I opted to step back and leave. I did get a good look at a fully-developed Empress.

From the brief glimpse of the Stand I'd got. My opinion of Empress hadn't improved, it also confirmed that if Nena attempted to betray me, I'd simply just cut Empress to ribbons before it could grow quick enough.
I didn't stick around for long though as I went on to continue looking for any other stragglers of the Joestar group. That in itself didn't take too long, as while I was looking around, I came across a familiar face.
In fact, I think we were both caught off guard for a second. As I rounded a corner to walk into another alley, I came face-to-face with none other than the last member of Joestar's group. The Silver Chariot user, Jean Pierre Polnareff!
It took a moment for either of us to react however as soon as he comprehended that I was in fact, in front of him. He stepped back in a tense stance, stating with a fierce glare "You!" I stepped back as well, snarling at him and replying. "So it would seem."
Over his shoulder, I saw Nena stood with her feigned innocent look on her face. Looking back at Polnareff, I spoke up "I'm honestly surprised that I'd be meeting you in particular, so soon after our last encounter. I should congratulate you on defeating J.Geil. And regarding that, I must ask something."
Polnareff looked confused. "What?" I answered by asking "Tell me, his Hanged Man Stand. Did it by any chance jump between reflective surfaces when one was destroyed?" Polnareff's confusion only increased as he answered "Uh, yes?"
Snapping my fingers, I said "I knew it. I'll tell you this, had you not returned from that fight, J.Geil would have been my target. In my life, I've never met anyone I hate more than I hated him." This provoked Polnareff to ask an interesting question. "Then why work for DIO? I doubt he's much different."
I didn't feel like explaining the 'why' of it at the moment. Instead I just said "I have my reasons." As soon as I'd said this, Ace of Swords appeared over my shoulder and conjured a rapier mirroring Chariot's own.
Glancing to Nena, I warmed "Stand back ma'am, you don't want to get involved." I grinned, looking to Polnareff yet again and saying "As I said last time, I aim to keep this fair. Now then, shall we?" Polnareff's confident grin appeared as well as he answered "Sounds good to me. Let's do this. SILVER CHARIOT!"
