It was a few days later. Jotaro and Kakyoin were heading to a nearby tailor shop that took requests. They were soon joined by Pinkie, Koichi, and Yukako. "Here it is," Jotaro said. "A shoe store?," Koichi asked. "It says here they're now accepting orders for simple clothing repairs," Pinkie said as she read a nearby sign. Inside they saw the owner sipping some coffee and asked him about the button. "Yeah, I've seen this button before. The suit is over there, I just got finished patching it up."

"Well that was convenient," Kakyoin noted, "Do you remember the customer's name?" The man thought. "Not off the top of my head, but it's written on the tag order. One second." "If it's the same as the one we're looking for," Jotaro noted, "Then we have a link." Just as the owner picked up the tag, something blew through his hand, taking out a chunk of it. "W-What... The hell...?" The five Stand users gasped. Up on the owner's shoulder was a small tank with a cat skull where the cannon would normally be.

"Over here!," it called out, "Hey, I'm over here, idiot!" The man looked over, and the tank suddenly shot right into the man's mouth. "What kind of Stand is that!?," Kakyoin called out. "Kakyoin, over there," Jotaro said. A hand was grabbing the jacket. "Hierophant Green!," Kakyoin called out, sending his Stand to investigate. On the other side of the door, Kira saw what was going on. "I should have tracked those two down and killed them later. All this over a lost button. Well, they'll soon fall to my second bomb, the Sheer Heart Attack."

Just as Killer Queen could transmute objects into bombs and detonate them with its right hand, its left hand could fire and manipulate a tank bomb called the Sheer Heart Attack, basically a remote controlled explosive. Killer Queen activated this bomb, setting it off. Luckily Kakyoin was able to see that action through Hierophant Green. "Emerald Splash!" Hierophant Green aimed its main attack at the store owner, cushioning itself from the sudden explosion

"Kakyoin!," Jotaro called out. Kakyoin was injured, but alive. "I'll be fine. I took worse blows during the fight with DIO. Still, if not for my Emerald Splash it would have been a lot worse." They heard a back door slam. "That must have been Kira!," Pinkie realized, "That bomb tank must have come from his Stand!" "Don't bother chasing him," Jotaro said, "We're not done with his remote bomb just yet..." The others looked around. "It can't really still be active after that explosion," Koichi thought aloud.

That's when Sheer Heart Attack burst out from a nearby pair of shoes to attack Koichi. "Koichi!," Yukako called out, "Love Deluxe!" Yukako sent her hair to wrap around the tank and tossed it aside. Koichi breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks, Yukako. But now it's going to explode." Jotaro adjusted his hat. "Star Platinum, The World!" Time stopped, and Sheer Heart Attack was frozen in midair. "Pinkie, can your toon world let you move here?," he asked.

Sure enough, Pinkie was still moving. "Uh huh, looks like it." "Alright," Jotaro said, "Give this bomb all you've got." Pinkie nodded, and their Stands attacked the bomb. "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" "WARAIRAIRAIRAIRAI!" Their attacks smashed Sheer Heart Attack into the ground as time started up again. "So you learned how to pull that trick off," Kakyoin said, "I'd heard as much from Fluttershy, but to see it in action... It's great to have that work in our favor for once."

"Don't relax just yet," Pinkie said, "We only stopped it from blowing up. It's more durable than it looks." Sure enough, Sheer Attack Attack burst out of the ground, the skull cracked, one of its treads missing, and its blasting cap removed. It leapt at the group. "Emerald Splash!," Kakyoin called out. Hierophant Green launched another crystal barrage that succeeded in knocking Sheer Heart Attack off course. "It's fast," he admitted, "But it's no Tower of Gray. Dodging doesn't seem to be its strong suit."

The group was thrown aside as the bomb went off again. "Damn...," Jotaro muttered, "Looks like any sort of attempt to attack it just makes it go off." "That blast took out the storefront," Pinkie noted, "And its somehow still intact. Well, mostly..." "The Stand user must be somewhere nearby," Koichi said, "There's no way it could be this powerful otherwise. I can send Echoes to--" "It's no good," Jotaro said, "This isn't even the killer's primary Stand, just an off-shoot. And it's movements are simplistic. The killer's long gone."

Koichi, however, sent Echoes out anyway. It soon spotted Kira with the jacket, looking a little different from what Pinkie described. 'This is impossible though... He's fifty meters out! How can such a powerful Stand act so independently?' Just then, Sheer Heart Attack went right for him. "Koichi, look out!," Kakyoin called out, "Emerald Splash!" The tank was knocked aside again. "Koichi, don't you listen!?," Pinkie said, "Jotaro and Kakyoin have had more experience with Stands than we have!"

"It works by tracking body temperature," Jotaro said, "It's chasing whatever's the hottest. Your agitation caused your body temperature to spike, so it started targeting you. This is an automatic Stand! It doesn't need commands from the user!" "And even something like the sparks from my Emerald Splash can set it off," Kakyoin noted. Koichi clenched. 'I was so stupid... I thought I was being clever, but I just blew it. Almost literally. I could have gotten us killed...'

Echoes returned to him. "We need to get to the back rooms. I'll have Echoes Act 2 distract it." Jotaro smiled. "Now you're thinking smart." They hurried to the back, turning on lights and such as they did, slowing the bomb tank down. As they found themselves in the kitchen, Kira was walking to the nearby cafe. "Strange...," he said, "Sheer Heart Attack is taking way too long to erase them. I wonder what's going on?" He shrugged and kept moving, thinking Sheer Heart Attack had no weakness to exploit. He didn't realize how wrong he was.

Once inside, Koichi breathed a sigh of relief, and his Stand energy started to flare up. "I think we hit character development," Pinkie noted, as Koichi's hair started to spike out. Yukako fanned herself. "I think I like this new look..." Echoes stuck its tail with the sound effect for sizzle on Sheer Heart Attack, causing the bomb tank to start running around in circles. "Okay," Koichi said, "Now we just need to call Josuke." However, as Koichi explained where they were, something caused Sheer Heart Attack to veer away.

"Uh," Pinkie said, "Who turned the stove on?" "I don't think anyone did," Yukako said. Just then, they saw a piece of emerald sticking in the knob. "You're kidding me!," Kakyoin said, "Did a shard from my Emerald Splash really get shot into the stove!?" As Sheer Heart Attack went for the stove, Yukako knocked Echoes tail off it, only to get caught in the blast. "Yukako!," Koichi called out. Yukako was alive but unconscious, the damage she took having turned her hair white again.

Koichi was now smoldering with rage. "I've had... Enough..." Echoes Act 2 seemed to turn brown and drop to the ground, only for its back to split open and steam to come out. From it emerged a humanoid figure in green and white. Pinkie couldn't help but compare it's appearance to Koichi himself. It sat in a kneeling position in midair. "Echoes Act 3 ready Master. What is your command?" Koichi nodded. "Stop that tank." Echoes nodded and dropped to the ground on its feet, performing a quick kata. "Echoes 3 Freeze!" It struck Sheer Heart Attack, causing it to sink into the ground, like it had suddenly gained weight.

Kira sipped coffee at the cafe and checked his watch. "Okay, this is just ridiculous. What is taking so long?" Suddenly, his hand became heavier, smashing into his coffee cup and the table. He looked nervous as he realized it took every ounce of strength to lift his hand. "What's going on...? It's gotta be something effecting Sheer Heart Attack, but...." He suddenly felt himself go through the table, catching people's attention. 'Damn... I underestimated those little shits. I'll have to go back and finish the job myself.'

"Whoa this is unreal," Koichi said, "What kind of power was that?" "From 'three' to 'freeze'," Echoes explained, "I just changed the spelling a bit. No big deal." To clarify, this works better in Japanese, where the change is an additional character. Simple in kanji, more drastic in English. "It's still moving," Pinkie noted as she picked Yukako up. "My effective range is only five meters in this state," Echoes said, "The closer Master is, the more it slows down. Within thirty centimeters, it might stop moving entirely."

"Let's maintain a five meter distance," Koichi suggested, "And wait for Josuke and the others." Echoes nodded. "Okay, Master." "I wonder how this is affecting the Stand user," Kakyoin noted. Just then, the bomb cracked open. "Hey, I think the pressure's getting to it," Pinkie said. "No," Jotaro said, "If it can a take punch from Star Platinum this extra weight is only slowing it down. More likely the Stand user got injured elsewhere. Which means they've decided to take more direct action."

Sure enough, Kira showed up. "Oh wow," Pinkie said, "You don't look so good. You also look slightly different." "Since I couldn't erase you or the other kid," Kira explained, "I had to alter my identity slightly." He started breathing heavy. "My stamina's not what it used to be. I thought about getting a membership at the Grape Hills High public gym, working out... But then I thought about all the sweaty, unwashed guys, probably touching the weights with the same hands they use to masturbate!"

"Never stopped me," Kakyoin said, "After all, they clean the weights regularly because of the large clientele." "Koichi, keep that bomb in place," Jotaro said, "I'll handle this." Kira scoffed. "It took that kid to stop my Sheer Heart Attack. Do you really think you have the strength to take me on?" Killer Queen revealed itself. "Especially since Killer Queen can into it touches into a bomb with its right hand." It moved to attack Jotaro, but got blindsided by Star Platinum's attack.

"It's true your Sheer Heart Attack could withstand Star Platinum's punches," Jotaro noted as Kira reeled from the blow, "But's that just the remote bomb, isn't it? Killer Queen is far less durable. And quite weak if it can't touch someone or something." Kira looked shocked as Jotaro approached. "I've encountered lots of Stand users like you," Jotaro noted, "Ones who think they're invincible just because they got a cool new power. The one mistake I notice with these guys... Is they reveal their power so recklessly without thinking about how to use that power. In that way, a strong power can turn weak."

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" Kira felt each and every blow as Killer Queen was pummeled. He found himself flying into the nearby trash cans. 'Damn... This guy's Stand is so fast... So strong... It almost feels like it can slow down time...' He realized this was the reality. His Killer Queen was only strong when it could catch someone off-guard, like he had with Shigechi. But when confronting someone head-on, Killer Queen's weak combat abilities showed.

Making matters worse, Josuke and Okuyasu showed up. "Jeez, what happened here?," Josuke said as he started applying Crazy Diamond's powers. "That guy over there," Pinkie said, "That's Kira." Kira sighed. "Great... All I wanted was a peaceful life. Looks like I'll be losing sleep tonight. But only tonight." He had Killer Queen chop his left hand off, loosing Sheer Heart Attack. "Bad move," Josuke said as Kira ran for it, "Crazy Diamond!"

Crazy Diamond punched Sheer Heart Attack, and it instantly got sucked back into the severed hand. "Nice!," Pinkie said, "Now the severed hand will seek out its body!" Meanwhile, Kira spotted a businessman his own age and build. "He'll do," Kira said and tried grabbing the man. "Hey," the man said, "The hell are you doing!" "Shut up and let's go," Kira said. The man frowned. "I don't think so. Under Pressure!" Kira gasped as it felt a major weight come over him. 'Damn... Him too...?'

The man, Kosaku Kawajiri, was glowing with Stand energy, his fingers pointing at the ground backward. Next to him was a Stand that looked like a robotic version of a Japanese god. "Hey," another man said as he came by, "Is this man sick?" Kira looked at the man. His hair was spiked out and black, and his build was similar to him. 'My luck has to come back now.' Kosaku had already released his Stand to warn the man, but too late. Kira grabbed him and ran. "Damn it," Kosaku said, and he ran after Kira.

He soon bumped into Josuke and crew outside the Cinderella salon. "Mister Kakyoin?," Kosaku asked. "Kosaku?," Kakyoin replied, "You look frazzled." "I had to test out that new Stand you gave me from that arrow," Kosaku explained. "You did what now?," Jotaro asked. "Pinkie wanted to see if the arrow was legit, thinking Akira might have crafted a fake," Kakyoin explained, "Me, I wanted to test a theory and see if the arrow could pick out those with Stand potential. Sure enough, when I shot the arrow up into the air, it sought out Kosaku here."

"Well, that's not important," Pinkie said, "Kira went inside here for some reason. We need to make sure Aya's alright." The severed hand flew inside as the door opened, and the group gasped. Kira's body seemed to be slumped over the vanity, except it still had its left hand. Aya was unconscious on the ground. "Smile!," Pinkie called out. They needed answers, and they might not get them if Aya blew up. Smile extended its toon world and passed Pinkie a cartoon defibrillator.

She warmed the paddles and called out, "Clear!" As soon as the paddles hit Aya, she spit out a cartoon bomb, likely a cartoon interpretation of Killer Queen's power, which hit the body and destroyed it, leaving nothing behind. "Aya are you okay?," Pinkie asked. Aya rubbed her head. "I think so... I don't feel anything else... That man came in, forced me to use Cinderella to exchange his face with that other guy. I think he wanted to kill me to prevent it from reverting."

She looked at the smoke trail that had once been the body. "Useless now, though. The body's gone, so Cinderella can't revert it." "Do you remember the face?," Yukako asked. "It would take some time to reconstruct without a body to go with it," Aya said, "Cinderella can remember the features, but that means nothing if we can't place them on anything to build a facial profile." "And Kira's hand just left through the back door," Josuke said, "He's in the wind." Pinkie growled. "DAMN YOU PLOT!"

Yep, Pinkie doesn't HAVE to have her Stand active for the heroes to show up Kira. They just have to, y'know, show up. But I hope I still got the point across that Kira IS dangerous under the right circumstances.

Also, bonus! Kosaku is now an ascended extra in this part with his own Stand, gets to live, some other random guy gets replaced by Kira, and Aya continues to live. Hope you like it.
