Mista managed to load his gun and fire off a few shots using Sex Pistols, while Rarity used Art of the Dress to fire off a few shards to hit the target on the roof, which happened to be Ghiaccio. As the projectiles wound up impacting but not hurting him, Ghiaccio said, "You ever notice how the Italian name for the city is Venezia, but everyone keeps calling it Venice. That sort of thing... Really pisses me off!" "Boss!," Une called out, "He's covered in ice and sticking to the roof! Due's stuck!"

"Not for long!," Rarity called out, "Art of the Dress!" Ghiaccio looked as the crystals he stopped with the ice layer started to grow into the ice, beginning to crack it apart. "One tiny crack is all I need," Rarity noted, "From there it's a slow but sure matter of widening the fissure." She then felt the cold air getting in. "Of course the fact that we're moving so fast in a frigid environment complicates matters!," Mista called out, "Giorno, hit the brakes!"

"I can't!," Giorno called out, "My foot is stuck to the pedal, and the steering wheel's locked up! At this rate the temperature will hit Absolute Zero! Rarity, your's is the only Stand that can still function at these temperatures! You need to stop us somehow!" "I'm still expending too much heat keeping us from wiping out while trying to break through his ice armor...," Rarity noted, "It's getting too cold to move." Giorno thought fast. Gold Experience then handed Mista his bullets. "Use these."

"You're thinking of shooting me again?," Ghiaccio quipped, "You'll just make it colder in there!" "Maybe so," Mista said, "But when these bullets go off, heat is produced, and when that happens..." He fired off a few bullets that impacted the ice layer and started sprouting roots, making more fissures for the crystals to grow into. Ghiaccio cried out in shock as he wound up separating from the car. As he bounced off the highway, the ice in the car immediately started to thaw out, Giorno hitting the heat in order to restore their energy.

Ghiaccio quickly stopped himself by turning his ice layer into a skating suit complete with ice skates. "No way...," Mista said in surprise. "I've heard of many types of Stands in the past," Rarity said, "But this is the first time I've seen a Stand that was worn. This must be how he caught up to our car." Ghiaccio raced ahead with his Stand, White Album. He grinned as the suit tanked the bullets. "Your ammo is useless! White Album works by controlling cryogenic temperatures! I can freeze the temperature in the air to make this suit, strong enough to stop your bullets!"

"Anyone got a rocket launcher?," Rarity quipped. Ghiaccio noticed he was hitting the crystal tracks that Rarity used earlier, which were now growing on him. "Ha! Your crystals won't work! Don't you know!? Colder temperatures can slow crystal growth!" Now it was Rarity's turn to smirk. "Darling, do you really think my Stand works by the process of science. My crystals aren't the kind you can find in nature. Make it as cold as you like, but unless you're chilling me at the same time you'll find those will grow quite nicely."

Ghiaccio nearly found himself tripping as the crystals started holding his legs down. "Those crystals will dissolve on their own after a few minutes," Rarity said. "More than enough time for us to warm up and get to Venezia," Giorno noted. Just then water hit the car, and Ghiaccio rode it as a rope to reach the trunk. "Shit!," Mista called out, but before he could shoot Ghiaccio opened the trunk. "Got you now," Ghiaccio said as he appeared through the back seat, "Now I'll freeze you directly!" But he got a double punch from Gold Experience and Art of the Dress, the latter of whom pinned him to the back seat.

"We need to get to the station!," Giorno called out, "I'm taking us into the canal!" "Oh no you're not!," Rarity admonished him, "Trying to get into the water when you're fighting an ice user is NOT a good idea!" "Well, what else can we do!?," Giorno pointed out. Rarity raised an eyebrow. "How about we try going over the canal? As in... With my Stand?" Giorno never felt more stupid in his life, and facepalmed. "Right... Nearly forgot you can do that..." Ghiaccio gasped as Rarity created a crystal bridge that Giorno promptly drove over.

Meanwhile, Narancia was taking a motorboat into the city, Coco Jumbo on board. "Aerosmith's not picking up any boats or vehicles near the station," he said, "All clear so far, but also no sign of the others." "They should be fine," Buccellati said from inside Mr President, "Even if an enemy caught up to them, I sent Rarity with them to make an alternate entrance into the city. Once they arrive, they should be able to find the disc in the lion statue." Narancia nodded.

Meanwhile the trio leapt from the car as it rammed into the building, crashing and exploding. "Did that work?," Mista asked. As if in answer, Ghiaccio stumbled out of the wreck, his Stand still active. "Close... Not even White Album can freeze flames... But neither can the flames melt my suit... So quickly..." He began coughing, almost like he was suffocating. "Looks like we found his Stand's weakness," Giorno noted, "Even if he surrounds himself with cold, he still has to let regular air in to breath somehow."

"Hold on...," Rarity said, "One of my crystal shards is still embedded in him... Let me grow it and see where it comes up." "Can it find something?," Mista asked. "Once it reaches any holes to breath," Rarity remarked, "We'll know." However, what happened next was surprising. It turned out, the shard was embedded in Ghiaccio's helmet. The first thing it did was cover his his faceplate, and with the violet coloring he couldn't see as well. Finally, it hit something in his back.

"No!," he called out, "You won't be getting me this way! White Album... Gently Weeps!" The air around him started to get colder and colder, but the crystal kept digging into his suit. "What's going on!? This power has never failed me! It's supposed to stop any attack!" "So who's attacking you?," Rarity pointed out, "I'm merely searching... And stripping." Ghiaccio gasped as some of the crystals started digging into his brain from inside the suit. The Gently Weeps effect started to fade off and his suit started showing cracks.

"This is it!," Mista said, "Go, Sex Pistols!" Ghiaccio screamed as the tiny Stand bodies hit Mista's shots through his suit, aiming for cracks made by Art of the Dress. "You might have stood a chance with only two of us," Giorno said, "But there are three. You are far too overmatched. Gold Experience!" With the ice suit starting to shatter, Ghiaccio was vulnerable as Gold Experience aimed for his face. "MUDA MUDA MUDA!" Three straight shots broke the suit, pushed the crystals further into Ghiaccio's brain, and burst through his torso. He was dead on the spot.

"Ultimately," Mista noted, "He didn't have the resolve to win. His focus was more on getting to the boss than anything else. He couldn't focus on taking us out. So, let's get that disk." Sex Pistols inspected the statue. "Up here Mista," Sei said, "There's a crack in the statue. And something is inside." "Can you get it out?," Mista asked. Une nodded. "All together now, bozos!" They each grabbed the disk and began to pull. "Heave-ho!" A few good tugs got the disk out, which Giorno caught. As they did, they saw Narancia coming in by boat. "Looks like we did it," Rarity said, "Now there's just the final step."

Yes Rarity's presence did once again show how easy she can make a fight. But in my defense, this time it was because Mista and Giorno were with her. Remember that Art of the Dress does have a big weakness in Rarity, like most Stands that are otherwise invincible. And I hope I did a good job conveying that here.
