Racing Rivals, Racing Hearts ☆ [Diego Brando x Reader]

On His Radar Now (54)

The three of you crawled through the drainage as Dio tried breaking the bars to fit in.

Gyro grunted out, "Come on! Keep pushing, Johnny!"

Johnny was leading with you right behind him and Gyro crawling behind you. You grunted, "I don't like having Johnny's ass in my face!" You complained.

Johnny shot back, "I'm half paralyzed, Im trying my best here!!"

Gyro chuckled, "Sucks to be you, Y/N. I like my view." He smirked as he stared at your ass, causing you to kick him gently in the head. "Stop it, Gyro."

The trio continued to crawl in the sewer, Johnny spoke up, "Alright, we're getting the corpse from the Rocky Hill, then we're getting the hell out of here!" 

Gyro gasped as he looked back, "Tiny dinosaurs coming! Dio must've sent them!"

You quickly looked back, "What?!" You quickly moved to take cover behind Johnny as he positioned his nails to the dinosaurs and attempted to shoot them with his nail bullets, "I can't seem to hit them!"

Some of the tiny dinosaurs started jumping on you guys and started to piss all over you, Johnny gagged, "It just pissed on me!"

"Ugh!" Gyro started trying to sway them away. You tried to plug your nose, "Ew, ew, ew!"

Gyro started yanking the dinosaurs off of him, "They have the same vision as Dio, they're using the smell of their piss to keep track of us!!"

Gyro threw a steel ball at some of them, they converted back to mice once they died. "These small dinosaurs were just sewer mice...!"

The trio quickly made way to the exit of the sewer but Johnny stopped right at the end and didn't climb down, "We have another problem. We can't leave."

You peered over Johnny's shoulder, "Holy shit. He turned the villagers to dinosaurs!"

Looking out of the sewer you saw plenty of other dinosaurs around the size of Dio running around near the Rocky Hill.

Gyro also peered over your shoulders to see what you saw, "So, Dio's ability turns any living things into dinosaurs under his control!"

Johnny pointed up, "Dio's coming from above! There's so many dinosaurs, as long as we don't move they won't be able to see us!"

You and Gyro looked up and saw Dio jumping down from the cliff above the trio. You gasped as you took a look at Gyro and Johnny and saw their skin starting to crack, "Take a look at your skin you two!"

They looked at their arms and saw their skin starting to turn to scales, Johnny gritted his teeth, "Shit, this disease spreads from being wounded or even lightly scratched. We all got scratched up at least a little!"

You looked down and noticed the same thing happening to you, "Noo!!"

Gyro tried to keep his composure, "We have probably 3 minutes until we completely transformed into dinosaurs. Dio wants the corpse part in Johnny's left arm, but we can't just give it."

You and Gyro looked at Johnny, who's scales are fading away on his left arm. Gyro pointed to the Rocky Hill, "If we get that other corpse part, we can completely negate the infection!"

More dinosaurs started to appear and get closer to the trio due to the smell lingering on them. Gyro pointed down the cliff, "We have to jump! Let's jump, now!"

You and Johnny screamed as the three of you threw yourselves off the cliff and made your way closer to the hill. The trio took notice of the sand around Johnny starting to move, clearly a reaction from the other corpse part trying to connect with the one Johnny already has.

You felt your face and noticed it felt distorted, "Ahhh, Johnny you need to hurry! Gyro and I are getting worse!"

You pointed over to a weird statue on the hill, "Over there! It has to be it— it's the corpse's eyes!"

The statue was holding two of the corpse's eyes in its hand.

Just as Johnny was ready to make his move, Dio jumped in and took the two eyes. Shortly after, the eyes started glowing and telling him the location of the next corpse parts: Turbō.

———

You laid on the ground next to Gyro as Johnny got into a battle with Ferdinand, the true holder of the stand ability. Ferdinand used Diego as the "control" of the ability to do all the dirty work for him. Johnny was able to take the eyes back and throw them over to Gyro as Johnny decided to fight Ferdinand.

Gyro managed to place the right eye into his own body. You watched as Ferdinand was killed and defeated by Gyro and Johnny— however, Diego got to keep this new dinosaur power.

Johnny asked Gyro where the other eye was since he threw them both to him, when you all looked up the hill at Diego— you saw him place the left eye into his own body and leave.

Johnny grunted, "We have to go get it!"

Gyro put a hand up, "No, Johnny. We can't chase him here, let him go. We'll get him another time."

You sighed, "At least I didn't turn into a dinosaur."

Johnny and Gyro stared at you for a few moments before Johnny spoke up, "That's your concern?"

You shrugged, "Why shouldn't it be?"

Johnny just shook his head and dismissed your comment, he clearly got into a dangerous battle and thought he was going to die for a moment. "You're on his radar now, Gyro. Diego will clearly desire the other corpse parts."

Gyro pointed over to the side of a mountain, "Look, our horses found us! We have around 60km left in this stage and I need to get first place. Let's move."

———

Nearing the end of the stage. This time you, Gyro, Johnny, and Diego are occupying the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th spots heading into the finish line.

Diego is following closely behind the three of you but is more focused on Gyro.

Johnny looks back for a brief moment, "Be careful you guys. He's using his new ability to collect more data on our horses!"

Leading up to the finish line, a giant lake separates two paths competitors have to choose. Many competitors split left and right but Gyro and Diego decides to split through the lake.

"Johnny, let's take right. There's no way I'm putting Lady Luck through the lake."

Johnny nodded as you both took the right path.

There was an intense battle between Diego and Gyro going on, especially after they got out the lake. You and Johnny were leading ahead in the competition.

"Y/N L/N crosses first! Followed by Johnny Joestar with a close finish! Third place goes to Diego Brando and fourth to Gyro Zeppeli!"

You managed to secure $10,000 and a one hour time bonus.

The next stage was under way. The 4th Stage: Canon City to Kansas City.
