The Blade's Edge (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders x Male O/C)

Chapter 16: Justice Served to Justice!

Gladius POV

I couldn't really tell who it was Enya was talking to from through the door. I could only hear Enya's voice distinctly and even then, it was heavily muffled. What I could tell however, was that whoever it was, soon caught on to Enya's act, and the voice became clear. 

Jotaro had a distinctly cold voice, I could just about hear him now saying "Aren't you going to show me your Stand and fight?" This was closely followed by Enya, through with her act, yelling. "You're looking right at it!"

At this, all the zombies sprung into action, lunging through the door to attack their unsuspecting foe! Or at least, they thought it was unsuspecting. The newcomer was confirmed to be Jotaro as I heard the clear sound of Star Platinum yelling out "ORA, ORA, ORA! ORAORAORAORA!" 

One by one, each of the zombies were being destroyed, being flung out of the window of the inn one after the other. As this was happening, Polnareff, who'd been left unattended emerged from the toilet and began crawling over to us, his tongue hanging out still displaying the typical Justice-created hole.

He spoke in a semi-muffled manner with his tongue hanging out "We've got to warn... Jotaro..." I neither me nor Hol Horse gave any comment to this. He was right, if Jotaro wasn't careful, he'd just end up in the same state as us.

I was still angry at Polnareff for trying to leave us to the zombies earlier. Though I suppose, at the same time I couldn't really blame him given our last encounters. Not to mention, there were more important matters going on here.

As we all looked through the door, we saw Jotaro had managed to defeat each of the zombies with no trouble whatsoever and without a single scratch. He turned to give her the usual glare he often had on his face which made Enya twitch in anger before she abruptly burst out laughing instead!

It wasn't until I looked down, that I saw what she was laughing at. I remembered when I'd first arrived, the woman who directed me to the inn in the first place was carrying a baby. Well I should have guessed the baby was also a zombie. Now it was clung to Jotaro's leg, its tongue extended out piercing the lower leg and creating the exact wound that would spell certain doom for Jotaro.

Enya declared triumphantly "My Stand Justice always prevails! All it needs is a scratch, just a tiny scrape! You've fallen into my trap Jotaro!" It was at this point Polnareff managed to alert them to our presence by letting out a series of gags. Jotaro called out "Polnareff!"

Given that we'd been spotted Hol Horse spoke up "Jotaro, it's me, Hol Horse! Enya's Stand is made of fog. It'll split your wound open and control you, like she did with me and Gladius!" I nodded "And her Stand can't be harmed by conventional means. Trust me, I got too distracted on that and that's how she got me. Her Stand also controls corpses, making a zombie army."

This caused Enya to yell "CAN IT BOTH OF YOU!" Next thing I knew, we'd both punched ourselves in the face. From our controlled limbs. Hol Horse lurched back however I stood my ground. I was losing patience with Enya and her Justice. Jotaro had provided me with the perfect opening.

Once again summoning Star Platinum and raining a barrage of punches on Justice. Not that it did any damage. Just like with my weapons, Star Platinum's fists just passed right through the enemy causing Enya to say what she'd told me when I tried.

"Can you punch the fog with your fist? Or cut the fog with your sword? Or shoot it with your gun? I don't think so! That's the lesson Gladius learned all too late! Absolutely futile! There's nothing you can do but accept your fate!"

As Enya was distracted gloating, I got to my feet. Hol Horse began whining "It's the biggest, toughest Stand there is! Our puny Stands are no match for it! Nothing stands a chance against Justice!" This only served to boost Enya's confidence as she grinned.
