The Eerie Escapades of Corey Town: North and South Joestar's bizarre Paranormal

Chapter Thirteen: Stand Off and Revelations

#### Leo's Escape

As Leo confronted the woman, a sense of déjà vu washed over him. He felt like he had seen her before. "Limewire, Shockwave!" he shouted. His Stand sent a blast of sound at the woman, slamming her into the kitchen wall. Without wasting a moment, Leo dashed out of the house.

But the woman wasn't done. Hissing and yelling, she commanded, "Python, get him!" Leo's heart skipped a beat. He knew instantly that she was a Stand user. A snake-like creature came slithering at him with alarming speed.

"Limewire, blast that thing!" Leo yelled, but his sound waves had no effect. The snake creature simply passed through them. The woman laughed menacingly. "Your Stand is sound-based. My Python can get through anything. Go, Python, destroy him!"

"Not so fast," Leo muttered. "Limewire, Barrier!" His Stand created a sound barrier, which Python couldn't penetrate. Leo glared at the woman. "This isn't over." He then used Limewire to create a sound smokescreen, blending with the street's concrete to make his escape.

As he ran, Leo's mind raced. "I've seen that woman somewhere before," he thought. He had to get this information back to the Joestars.

#### North's Discovery

Meanwhile, I followed the man out of the shop and watched as he got into a government car. Before he could drive off, I used my Stand, Diablo, to copy Manifest. I made someone bump into the man, causing a small package to fall out of his jacket pocket. He drove off in the government car, which made me think, "He probably works for the mayor."

I picked up the package and started walking back to our meeting spot. As I opened it, my heart pounded. Inside was an arrow tip—the same kind that had stabbed me. "What does this mean?" I wondered, my thoughts racing.

#### South's Return

South was already at the meeting spot, pacing nervously. When he saw me approaching, he ran over. "North, you won't believe what I overheard," he said breathlessly.

"Tell me later," I replied, showing him the arrow tip. "Look at this."

South's eyes widened. "That's the same as the one that stabbed you!"

"We need to find Leo," I said urgently. "Something big is going down."

#### Leo's Arrival

Just then, Leo appeared, looking disheveled but determined. "Guys, I ran into a Stand user. A woman with a snake Stand called Python. I think I've seen her before, but I can't place where."

"We've got bigger problems," I said, showing him the arrow tip.

Leo's eyes narrowed. "That's... This is all connected, isn't it?"

#### Piecing It Together

We sat down in a secluded spot to discuss our findings. South relayed the conversation he had overheard about the mayor wanting someone to find the arrows. I told them about the man who dropped the package and my suspicion that he worked for the mayor.

Leo described his encounter with the woman. "She said her Python could get through anything. My sound attacks were useless against it."

"We need to figure out what the mayor is planning," I said. "And we need to find out more about these arrows."

"Agreed," South nodded. "But first, we need to regroup and come up with a solid plan."

#### The Next Move

We decided to head back to the Joestars' place to share our information and strategize. As we walked, the weight of our discoveries pressed heavily on our minds. The mayor, the arrows, the Stand users—it was all part of a larger, more sinister plot.

"We're in deeper than we thought," Leo said, strumming a tense chord on his guitar.

"But we're not backing down," I replied. "We'll get to the bottom of this, no matter what."

South nodded in agreement. "For Corey Town, and for Amy."

With newfound determination, we quickened our pace. The real battle was just beginning, and we were ready to face whatever came our way.
