Chapter 44: Vanilla Ice's True Sadistic Nature

Raymond (Gladius) POV

"I will make you suffer Gladius, your treachery against Lord DIO will be PUNISHED!"

As soon as he said these words, I wasted no time lashing out with Ace of Swords, stabbing the rapier forward and swinging the axe around. 

Vanilla Ice effortlessly avoided the attack by having his own Stand swallow him up into the void. I instantly got on my guard, preparing for anything. There was no sign or indication of where he could attack from. I just had to be ready.

I turned to Polnareff and gave the order "Polnareff, grab Iggy and get out of here now!" This caught him off guard as he replied "What?! Are you crazy?! I'm not running away again and I'm sure as hell not leaving you alone with this psycho!"

Ice's Stand collided with the wall as we saw a chunk of it being erased. I instantly threw a knife and must have hit it, as the knife vanished in an instant. I scowled and thought to myself.

How do you hit a Stand that can't be seen and erases anything it touches.

I had one trick to work with. I had my Stand summon a two swords, which it proceeded to juggle, an axe was added, then a mace. This kept going until I was juggling fifteen different weapons.

My Iron Maiden trick which I'd used against Gyalzen. If Vanilla Ice reappeared before it was about to attack, I'd be able to slice him to ribbons, Vampire or not. Then we just let the sun do the rest.

The speed my Stand was juggling the weapons at was fast enough that it looked like the weapons were spinning around my Stand. I looked all over, watching as Ice's Stand collided with the wall.

As he collided with some of the outside walls, the sun began shining into the room even more through the circular holes. It took seemingly forever, waiting for the opportunity to strike. But it was worth it.

For an instant before he was about to lunge and erase me, I caught a glimpse of his Stand. And it was in this moment, I acted. All fifteen weapons were launched towards it as I yelled "I've got you!"

My plan worked, as soon as Vanilla Ice materialised to attack, he was peppered with oncoming blades and blunt weapons. I was thanking my Stand's speed and precision for that. Combined with the timing, I was actually able to land a hit!

This joy vanished almost instantly though. While his Stand was knocked back, his Stand vanished to reveal him only sporting a several cuts across his body. Just like what he demonstrated earlier, the cuts soon began to heal.

All my attack had done was manage to piss off the already furious Vampire. Vanilla Ice glared at me for a moment, wiping at one of the cuts and inspecting the blood on his hands. As he spoke, his tone got louder and angrier with each word.

"Your Stand is a dangerous one. With that speed and precision, a normal human would have been dead by now. Too bad it's wasted on a treacherous SWINE LIKE YOU!" 

Now he was back to how he was when dealing with Iggy. He went into a feral rage and the next thing I knew, his hand had lashed out and grabbed my neck again, choking me!

He lifted me off the ground and snapped "As I told the mutt, you don't deserve the quick death of the void. I intend to make you SUFFER for your treachery! Had you been a loyal subordinate, Lord DIO would have made you one of his favoured like myself. It's too late now though."

Before I could break his grip again, he slammed me head-first into the floor. My senses went into a frenzy. I couldn't focus enough to fight back. That was only the beginning, he slammed me into the floor again, and again and AGAIN!

Between sheer force and frequency of it, I was struggling to see what was right in front of me. I don't know how many times I was slammed into the floor. Consciousness was beginning to fade.
