     I wake up to see that the train has stopped. Blitz, Doc, and Pulse have jumped off of the train. "Alright, Jace. Let's get a move on." Thatcher says. I get up and jump off the train right before it starts to move again. I stretch and pop my back. "Alright. I know my way around this place. Who wants breakfast?" I ask. Everyone is in agreeance. I take them over to a great pancake and waffle shop near a supermarket. "Alright, how many are with you, sir?" The hostess asks me. "5. Booth, please." I say. "Name?" She asks. "Jason Stone," I say. "Right this way," She says. We all go back and get menus. We all decide on what we want and we put our order in. Thatcher brings up the main point. "So, Jace. What's this, Stand was it, you keep telling us about?" He asks. I bring Ace out. "Look at the side of the table. Do you see it?" I say. They nod their heads. "Good, I've mastered that ability of my Stand then. A Stand is the fighting spirit of a person, as long as they can handle it and they know how to use it. My Stand is Ace of Spades. Ace is my Stand because I liked to gamble at the time I learned of him. After I found out about him, I found out I was a Stand user by birth, but the Stand never manifested because I never found a passion I could keep. Once I picked up gambling and kept winning and winning, I had found my passion. I got into a fight with one of the losers I had won from, and my Stand manifested. I knew from that point on that I had tremendous power. I had to master it, but I couldn't at that time. I was still very emotional, and that isn't good for a Stand user. You need to be able to control your emotions so you don't accidentally kill a friendly. I've been close a couple of times. Once I was able to control my emotions, I could control my Stand. I became a force to be reckoned with once I did, both with a gun and with my Stand. It's been amazing ever since then." I say. Our food arrives and we eat it. I get the bill and we try to leave. The other 4 get to leave, but I'm held back by a guy who's about 6 foot 4, 220 pounds, and in his early 20's. I'm 6 foot even, so I have to look up at him. "Where are you going?" He asks. "I just got back to Arizona, and I'm taking my friends on a tour. May I pass?" I ask. "No." He simply says and throws me through a window. "Alright, now you've pissed me off," I say to him. I stand up and brush myself off. "So much for this uniform. Now it's bloody, dirty, battered and broken. Goddamnit." I say. I take out a deck of cards. "What's that gonna do?" He says. "Gonna gamble me to death?" He asks. "These ain't no regular playing cards," I say. I take out an Ace of Spades. He chuckles and throws a knife at me. Ace grabs the knife. I feel a cut form on my left hand. "It was a good thing that my Stand was left-handed," I say to myself. I hold the card in my left hand. A little bit of blood gets on it. Ace and I pose in front of the guy before I throw the card at him and kill him. I call the police and tell them what happened. I also tell them that I'm an ex-Marine turned Black Operator, and they let me slide without any charges. I walk back to the group and tell them the same thing. I also run to get my Ace card back. I put it away and we get moving.

     I show them the rest of Mesa and tell them about other places and towns in Arizona. I see a phone shop, so I get a new phone. The guy that's helping me also restores the things I lost on my old phone. Once that's all taken care of, I meet back up with the guys and we get to the evac zone. Jager lands the chopper and we all fly back to Hereford. Being back in Arizona was nice, but I have a life waiting for me back in England.


A/N: This chapter was mostly character development between Jason, Mike, Jack, Elias, and Gustave. I also wanted to explain a little more about Stands, so those of you who don't watch JoJo can understand it a bit more. Anyway, I'm also writing a Stardust Crusaders Retell from Jason's perspective, where he learns more about Stands and how they work. Anyway again, hope you have a good one, Ultra, over and out.
