[X] Use When She Shines to fight back. You're pissed and you have no qualms for those who use their power to harm others.
You couldn't handle this. You knew this was reckless, but you weren't just going to take that sitting down. Aqua Necklace who was being controlled by Anjuro, a monster who needed to be defeated before others could suffer such horrendous fates. With the glass in embedded into your back, you were positive that they were going to leave a mark. It mattered not, however. The fact was that he decided that he could attack whoever he pleased with his power. Having a Stand meant that you were responsible with it. That's what you thought.
Activating your Stand, you lunged forward with wild abandon. You could hear the blurring of voices, coming from Josuke and Jotaro, and probably from Ryohei too, although you cared not. You were pissed. Who cared if you were going to get hurt from this? You wouldn't let anyone suffer. It's what you've personally decided.
"You're gonna pay, ya knowwwwwww...!" You howled, the feeling of fear evaporating from your body in this single, clear moment. It was unlike anything you felt before. You felt your blood singing of the thrill of the fight. Your fist and When She Shine's fist almost in sync, although you knew your fist wouldn't connect, When She Shine's certainly would in your stead.
It blindsided Aqua Necklace, that was for sure. "What...? You're a... Stand... user?!"
When She Shine's fist connected with Aqua Necklace, causing the dogu Stand to land square against the wall, cracking it slightly, and you thought you heard something from your own Stand, causing your eyes to widen. "Zura!"
"Ahhh, amazing! I thought she didn't speak, but she speaks like me! Well... not exactly. I mean "zura" seriously isn't a real word. Why would my Stand not speak normal words? It bothers me, ya know...?" Then your face turned a bright tomato red. "Ughhh... no... my verbal tic is coming back..."
Jotaro had stared at you, almost dead set on punching you from the looks of it. "It seems you didn't realize that before? You have a verbal tic, of all people? Do you have issues with your speech or something like that?"
"Ummm... besides my accent, which is totally fine... but yeah. I have a verbal tic... it's embarrassing, ya know! I'm trying to get it under control though, I'll try if that'll make y'all happy--" Your eyes sparkled.
"Does that really matter, Maki? I think you like, I dunno, have your Stand punch Aqua Necklace and he is going to attack again?" Josuke shouted at you, bringing you back into reality as Aqua Necklace had gotten up and shot forward at you, only for Crazy Diamond to form and block the attack. "If you are going to attack, then we should, I dunno, fight with a plan in mind?!"
Ryohei, who was clearly confused why you were all shouting towards nothing in particular had said, "What are you three talking about? Stands? Aqua Necklace? I don't understand what you all mean here... you kids surely are confusing."
"So sorry, ya know! I'll try and be more focused in battle, Josuke..." You apologized, giving a short bow.
"Help me already instead of apologizing!"
"Okay, okay, I'm on it, Josuke! Please don't worry about anything at all! Our combination will surely knock 'im out, ya know!"
"Good grief... you two are certainly a handful... coming to Japan might be more of a headache than I previously thought..." Jotaro face-palmed. Which was obvious, considering that the pair of you were probably going to wreck the living room in your mission of ensuring that Josuke's grandfather was safe and sound.
Judging by the room's size, it was a medium sized room, sort of the same as the lower floor. However, the three of you have not a lot of room to work with, all considering that. Not to mention that Aqua Necklace was still going after Ryohei. Why didn't you take him out of the room again? Oh. Right. Emotion overrode logic at that point of decision making. You wondered if you were really smart or not in that department. It was important to put distance between him and Ryohei.
That was why you were moving, constantly getting in the way of Aqua Necklace's blows that were definitely intended for Josuke's grandfather. It was clear that Josuke, too, was getting in there as well. Both of you were getting cut up quite a bit, you more than Josuke was taking a bit of a beating. Despite not having much destructive power, its range made up for it. It extends quite far, you assumed, and it could possibly reach Ryohei if it got that far where you and Josuke screwed up. You noticed that Jotaro was hesitating on stepping in. No. It wasn't hesitation. It was because there was already two people fighting in the room. If a third person got involved, it could become a real mess.
Blood stained other parts of your uniform and you groaned. The cuts had hit your collarbone area, stomach, and your legs. If there was anything that you hated most of all was your clothes getting ruined! You loved fighting, but you always hated that part of this. "Ughhh, you ass! This will take forever to wash!"
"Well, maybe you should have stayed out of my way and let me have what I wanted, you bitch... Even if you are Stand users, there can only be one true Stand that goes above them all...!" Aqua Necklace chortled at the sight of the two of you bleeding.
"Yeah right! Even if you say you are a "true" Stand user, a Stand user shouldn't use their powers to attack other people!" Josuke exclaimed, clutching onto his arm, which got cut up quite badly.
"You two are a bunch of hypocrites! You already attacked people with the usage of your Stands... and you'll do that plenty more times to come. What makes you guys so above me, then?!" Aqua Necklace screeched, clearly irritated by the way the conversation was going. "And I don't know about him over there, he's standing all nice and pretty, not willing to get his white coat dirtied for your sakes!"
Jotaro had gritted his teeth and gave a smile, yet it had a tinge of anger pulsating through it. "You don't want to get me involved. Besides, Maki and Josuke can beat you down without my assistance. I believe they can do it."
Hearing that had bolstered your confidence. Despite all that was occurring, Jotaro believed in you, even though you weren't sure if you could believe in him in the regards of when it came to fighting. Yet if he put his faith in you to win this, you wanted to be able to pull through.
"Well, it's time to get the show on the road, ya know. Time to have some fun..!" You snapped your fingers. "Plus, I gotta get back at you for ruining my uniform! I have a feeling this is gonna be a trend, but hey, gotta beat down a fool when it's due, ya know!"
When She Shine's blade had glowed, setting up lines that glowed a bright blue wherever the solid surface had touched. You had aimed for the couch, creating a shape, and making everything inside the area blue. That meant the couch was selected. Huh, if you thought about it, it was sort of like an anime, really, where the hero was able to use these really unique abilities to help them out in a pinch. However you didn't remember which one it was. You would have to ask your buddies in Osaka about it. They would remember more than you.
"Watch out!" Jotaro called out, as you saw Star Platinum defend you from Aqua Necklace from using your wounds as a gateway, who had socked him across the room. Yet Aqua Necklace had recovered quickly and it was clear he was looking for bodies of water to use to his advantage.
"I... thought you weren't getting involved, Jotaro...? You said so..." You mentioned, with Jotaro sighing at you.
"You were getting distracted again. What are you even doing?" Jotaro seemed to be wanting to know of your tactics. The three of you had time to figure out a counter... and Ryohei, who had been frozen at the sight of things slowly becoming a mess. The poor man was going to get traumatized at this rate.
You had to come up with a strategy for this instead of diving into things headfirst...
[] Continue with your inital strategy: you set up Glow and have Light exist at the same time. Then you can use Equivalent Exchange: Dance to exchange properties...
- [] If you do this, what do you have Glow and Light highlight on other than the couch, and what do you exchange it with?
[] Kunikida Secret Family Technique: beating your opponents to a pulp and leave no quarter for mercy!
[] Partner up with somebody to land a combination attack together.
- [] Jotaro
- [] Josuke
[] You're injured. Do you and Josuke want to heal before more confrontation? (Wastes one turn against Anjuro.)
[] You still haven't gotten Ryohei to safety... you need to get him out of the room already!
[] Write in your battle strategy.
