The Fabulous Star

Let's get more Pinkie Pie shenanigans, plus remind people that Yukako has a slightly bigger role in this story.


The Fabulous Star

Later Nu introduced the human woman he was staying with. From a legal standpoint she was supposed to be his mother, but was actually more like his wife. She knew all about him being an alien but kept up the charade, playing it off for normal people by claiming he was just eccentric and obsessed with aliens and outer space. "Ah, one last thing," Nu said to Josuke, "While on Earth I go by the name Mikitaka Hazekura, just in case you hear someone calling me by that name."

Meanwhile Yoshihiro was stunned. Not only did his attempt to create a new Stand user fail, since Nu seemed to already be a Stand user, but he wound up becoming an ally of Josuke and the others. "Damn it. Enya assured me those I make Stand users will become allies. Then again, he already was one to begin with. But the next Stand user, Highway Star, is sure to end those brats. His power will be impossible to overcome." Far away, as Enya was still mourning DIO's death, she wound up sneezing in confusion.


The next day, Josuke had hoped on the local bus and found Rohan going over the photos he had taken. "Still going over those?," Josuke asked. "There's no guarantee we'll find a clue in them," Rohan said, "But there's always the chance." Josuke nodded. "We got close to catching Kira once. And despite what some people think, lightning can strike twice." Rohan sniffed. "We agree on that much, at least." As the bus went through a tunnel, Rohan got confused when he saw a vision of some guy cutting off a woman's hand.

He shook his head, thinking the hunt for Kira was getting to him. But he had to check it out anyway, in case it was another Stand at work. "Are you serious about this?," Josuke said, "I didn't see anything. Then again I wasn't paying attention." "If it's nothing then fine," Rohan said, "But from what you say Yoshihiro has been making new Stand users. If this is the work of one of them, we need to investigate." They tunnel they went towards was the Twin Forests Tunnel. The tunnel was 540 meters long, and curved so you couldn't see the other end.

They were taking Rohan's motorbike through. "Looks like nothing," Josuke said, "And we're getting close to the exit." Just then, Rohan fell through the wall. Josuke gasped when he realized the door had suddenly appeared. But there was no one inside it. Just then, a nearby cupboard opened. "We need to move!," Rohan said. They got on the bike and started racing. "Uh, I don't think we're going fast enough," Josuke said as he pointed out a set of footprints that seemed to be following them.

"We're at sixty kilometers an hour," Rohan noted, "And they're able to keep up with that." He gunned the ignition, moving a bit faster. "It must be another remote stand, like Kira's Sheer Heart Attack," Josuke realized. They spotted a nearby truck and Rohan had to slow down, but he elbowed Josuke out of the way as he did, causing the footprints to latch onto him. The bike crashed just outside where Pinkie was walking, causing her to investigate. "What's going on?," she asked. "Another Stand user!," Josuke said as he ran out, "It's already got Rohan! I think it's draining his energy!"

Rohan watched as the footprints merged into his and formed up into a blue humanoid with a diamond pattern on its skin. "Heaven's Door!," Rohan called out, having just enough strength to turn the Stand into a book and figure it out. "Josuke!," he called out, "This Stand is called Highway Star! That room earlier was a trap! Anyone who enters gets chased down by their scent and has their energy drained!" He grunted. "I'm... Getting too weak to stop him..."

Highway Star looked at the other two and grinned. "No you don't...," Rohan said, sending Heaven's Door to affect Josuke and Pinkie, the Stand writing that they'd fly backwards at seventy meters per hour, enough to give them a head start and reach the bike. "Crazy Diamond!," Josuke called out, fixing the bike with his own Stand. The two lovers then got on the bike. "Smile!," Pinkie called out as her toon world was projected, while Highway Star finished draining Rohan and ran after them.

"We need to find the Stand user," Josuke said, "Pinkie, call Koichi, I'll keep this bike at a high speed." "What's the plan?," Pinkie asked. "This is a long-range Stand," Josuke surmised, "So for now Rohan's life isn't in danger since it can't cause damage quickly. We also need to determine who the Stand user is. It set a trap in the tunnel, but why? Why not just wait by the side of the road to attack people? It's also focusing on draining life energy instead of killing outright. We also know it can't go faster than sixty kilometers an hour. So we'll maintain eighty kilometers to buy us time."

Pinkie had Smile bring out a large phone which she used to call Koichi. But before she could, she pointed forward. "Baby on board!" Josuke looked to see the light was red and a mother and her baby were in the middle of the street. "Hang on!," Josuke said as he hit the accelerator, then hit the bike with Crazy Diamond, breaking it apart and causing them to go flying over the baby, who stopped crying to see the event. As the bike got repaired as the couple kept driving, Pinkie said, "We'll be seeing that kid with the same hairstyle as you in a decade and a half." "Oh, you really think so?," Josuke said.

Pinkie then called Koichi and explained the situation. 'Okay, got it,' Koichi said, 'You said the Twin Forests Tunnel? Actually there was an accident there two days ago. It was all over the nightly news. There was a biker gang out drunk driving, and blocked off one end of the tunnel with a crash. Lots of blood everywhere. There was one unidentified youth who was placed in intensive care at the Grape Hills Hospital.' "That must be our Stand user," Pinkie surmised, "He's using his Stand to drain energy and recover faster."

"Only follows by scent," Josuke noted, "Unable to think or plan but just attack. Can warp instantly to follow a victim if need be." Pinkie raised an eyebrow. "I've had to do some crazy stunts while you were talking," Josuke explained, "I'll tell you about it later. Anyway this Stand fits perfectly with a seriously injured user. But he'd have to be conscious to use his Stand." 'I was planning a date with Yukako in a bit,' Koichi said, 'I'll explain the situation to her and we'll check the hospital.'


Meanwhile, Yoshihiro was flying around, guided by the arrow. "By now Highway Star's user should have drained at least a couple of those brats after Yoshikage. I thought it strange that the arrow would chose a biker gang brat but it worked out well. His Stand is perfect for this. And even if they escape by vehicle it won't be long before he chases him to the point that they run out of gas." He laughed, thinking that victory was close at hand. But of course plans never go as smoothly when you don't observe them.


Josuke was inexperienced with motorbikes, which can't tell you if you are low on gas or not, unlike cars. Experienced riders rely on the handling and distance traveled. But in the toon world, any vehicle will start puffing smoke when the gas gets low. "Guess it was trying to outlast us," Josuke noted. "What now?," Pinkie asked. Josuke smiled. "No problem. Even if we're being chased." He deliberately crashed into the nearby wall, sending the duo out of the drainage ditch, smashing into a nearby car.

They then got out of the way as Highway Star went for them, only to get caught in the car as Crazy Diamond repaired it. Josuke then repaired the bike as Pinkie used Smile to siphon the gas from the car to refuel. "Now we just need to reach the hospital," Josuke said, "Pinkie, do you know where it is from here?" "Oh yeah," Pinkie said. They raced off, knowing Highway Star would warp to follow them. They passed by Yoshihiro, who blinked at seeing them still alive, albeit getting chased.


At the hospital, Koichi and Yukako were not getting anywhere with the receptionist. "Well, now what?," Yukako asked, "Pinkie and Josuke will be here any minute." Koichi smirked. "I think I got this. Echoes Act 3." Echoes emerged. "Okay, Master! Let's kill da ho! Beeetch!" The receptionist suddenly realized a few medicine bottles were starting to topple. It was Echoes increasing their weight. "Damn it, if these break they'll charge me fifty grand to replace them!"

She turned to see Koichi and Yukako just standing there. "Hey, don't just stand there like a couple of pissants! Give me a hand!" Koichi raised an eyebrow. "We were supposed to be leaving now. And I don't think we can quite reach up there." "Plus they look heavy," Yukako quipped, "I don't think we could carry them." "Okay, okay, fine!," the receptionist said, "You want Yuya Fungami in room 525! Just take the elevator to the fifth floor!" Just then, Pinkie and Josuke came crashing through the door. "We heard everything!," Pinkie said, a hearing horn in her ear, "We'll be done shortly!"

Josuke steered the bike into the elevator, which zoomed up under Pinkie's influence. The nurse, who had just realized the medicine bottles weren't so heavy, blinked. "How did that elevator move so fast?" Meanwhile, Yukako used Love Deluxe to grab all the footprints and force Highway Star into its solid form, which Koichi held down with Echoes. This, combined with Pinkie blocking the air ducts, meant the couple was able to reach 525 without issue. "Finally found you," Josuke said, "Yuya Fungami."

He then blinked. The young man, Yuya, was lying in bed with multiple casts and surrounded by three young girls. "Who are these freaks?," one girl said. "This is Yutie Pie's private room!," another said. They then felt themselves getting slapped. "Hey, don't go slapping my girls, Pinkie!," Yuya called out, "Not even I do that!" Pinkie blinked. "How'd you know my nickname's Pinkie? We've never really met." Yuya looked surprised. "You mean it really is..? Cuz I just thought... With the hair... You know what nevermind."

Highway Star appeared under the bed. "Your friend downstairs stopped pinning my Stand down. Big mistake on his part." Josuke and Pinkie smiled, their Stands striking at Yuya's limbs to stop Highway Star. "Your Stand can only move up to sixty kilometers an hour," Josuke noted, "But at this close range, my Crazy Diamond and Pinkie's Smile are far faster." "Whoa, hey now!," Yuya said, "Isn't it a little unfair to beat the living hell out of a guy already in the hospital!?"

Josuke thought about it. "Well, maybe. But luckily I have a work around." Yuya looked confused. "My name is Josuke Higashikata," Josuke said, "My Stand, Crazy Diamond, can repair objects. And that includes people. Especially you." Yuya then realized he was no longer feeling pain from his injuries. In fact, his injuries seemed to be gone. At first he was elated, but his elation ended when he realized what Josuke was getting at. He gulped when he saw Crazy Diamond and Smile glaring at him. "If you're not even injured," Pinkie said. "Then beating you up is totally fair," Josuke finished.

"DORARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARA!" "WARAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAIRAI!" Yuya went out the window with the last attack. "KEEP SMILING!" "Ah, that was refreshing," Josuke said, "Like putting on fresh underwear on New Year's Day." After that, Yuya was readmitted for new injuries. When Okuyasu heard, he was envious that Yuya had not one, but three cute girls to nurse him. Rohan was retrieved from the tunnel, restored thanks to Crazy Diamond. Koichi and Yukako continued their date. Yoshihiro, meanwhile, was gobsmacked that Yuya lost.
