The Ludicrous Escapade

Penny For Your Thoughts

Wamuu immediately pulled you against him, stopping your body from painfully skidding along the ground. Polnareff seemed to have ended up out of the car, but Kakyoin was still inside, sticking partially out a window.

Polnareff coughed out some blood, "K-Kakyoin, (Y/N), are you okay?"

The Noriaki began to move out, shards of glass clinked against the dirt as he knocked them aside, "I-I hit my chest, but I'm fine."

Wamuu helped you up. He started dusting the dirt off your uniform as you helped Kakyoin get out of the car and up to his feet, "And don't worry, a car crash can't do much to me."

There was a flash of light going from the window to the side view mirrors. It then moved to the bumper of the car, which just so happened to be right by Polnareff's head. "Silver Chariot!" He brought his Stand out and it sliced the metal with ease into several tiny pieces. "Quick! Get away from anything that's reflective!" The three of you dived behind a rock, panting heavily. "Damn it... I got it. I just saw it. He really is just jumping from one reflective surface to another! He traveled all this way by reflecting over and over!"

Kakyoin gasped, "So he's actually light!The true nature of his Stand is light?"

Wamuu nodded, "Then that would make sense with the effect I had witnessed. You should limit the options of things that he can reflect to."

Kakyoin hummed in agreement, "Good idea." He began to rip off all his buttons and tossed them away along with his cherry earrings. Polnareff did the same with his broken heart ones.

"Hey, are you guys okay?" It was a small child speaking. They were probably worried about the crash. They had their arms crossed behind their head. "Want me to bring some medicine or something?"

Polnareff started shooing the boy away, "Hey! Kid! It's dangerous, so get out of here!"

The kid didn't listen and instead took another step towards the group, "Hey, your car's totally messed up..." They glanced away from the wreckage and got a better look at all of you. "Hey, you're bleeding." They leaned forward, eyes wide, "Are you okay?"

You could see it clear as day, the Stand has moved to the kid's eye. Polnareff cursed under his breath, "That bastard..." The Stand laughed while Polnareff and Kakyoin scrambled out of the kid's view. "Hey, kid. Don't look at us." The kid turned to follow the oddly behaving men, "I told you not to look at us!"

"Hey, kid. Look at me." You put you hands on the kids shoulders, being extra careful to block their view of Polnareff and Kakyoin. It didn't matter all that much to you if J. Geil tried to slice you up.

The kid kept trying to glance at them, but you continued to move in the way, "What's wrong with them? Why are they acting so weird?"

You gave an awkward laugh, "They both have really bad cases of scotophobia. They're frightened of people looking at them. They're in pretty bad shape at the moment, so I've already contacted some medical professionals to help them. Right now what you can do to help is not look at them. Perhaps you should just head back to where you came from, we'll be alright."

The kid nodded, "Yeah, sure. It sucks to be them though. I can't imagine having a fear like that. I hope they get the help they need." The kid shrugged and started walking away. The moment they turned away, the light left their eyes and headed towards you. It was incredible how long that kid could go without blinking.

You stood still, careful not to look at your comrades. "Okay, guys. Don't freak out or anything, but the Stand is in my eyes right now. From here the only other place it'd be able to go is your own."

Kakyoin furrowed his brows, angry that the Stand has chosen you as its next carrier, "Why, you..."

Polnareff stood up, dusting himself off. "No, Kakyoin. That's not what you say when you're going to enact your revenge. You must say something like this: My name is Jean Pierre Polnareff. For my sister's honor, and so that my friend Avdol can rest in peace... I'm going to hurl you" He brought out Silver Chariot who readied it's rapier, "into the depths of despair, J. Geil!" And with his monologue out of the way, you blinked. Forcing the Stand to leave your eyes and head to the nearest reflective surface. Being able to predict the movement, Polnareff's Stand sliced through the beam of light as it headed into his eye. Not too far away, you could hear a pained scream. "His real body is over there!"
