"So why is this thing trying to attack us?," Rainbow asked as they looked at Goo Goo Dolls getting closer. "I'm guessing because we're not going along with Gwess' insane scheme," Jolyne suggested, "Remember what happened with the guard? I'm betting this creep is responsible." Goo Goo Dolls leapt at the girls, razor-sharp claws extended, only to get slammed into the nearby wall by a blue humanoid figure. Jolyne grinned. It was her own Stand.

"Whoa...," Rainbow said. "This is my power," Jolyne said, "When the strings I create bunch together like this, my Stand takes on its physical form. Would you believe I first discovered it in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors?" She looked around. "I wonder if Gwess felt that too. I mean, most times when a Stand gets damaged, so does the Stand user." Her suggestion proved correct as Gwess approached, her step wobbly as blood was coming from her face. "D-Damn you, Jolyne... What did you do?"

"You must not know that much about Stands," Jolyne noted, "You didn't realize that getting too far away from us would start to undo your power. You clearly thought you could just have us scout the room we were getting into and let that be the end of it. But the guards were never going to let you loiter around the door, and if you can't stick around you can't keep us small." Her Stand grabbed Goo Goo Dolls and started squeezing, causing Gwess more pain.

"Now there's something I need to know right away," Jolyne said, "Where did you get my locket from? The one with the arrow piece in it." Gwess, unable to do anything while Jolyne had a death grip on her, relented. "It... It was sold to me... By a woman named Ermes Costello..." Jolyne looked surprised. "Ermes? We met her back in the holding cells." As she thought this, she accidentally let go of Goo Goo Dolls. Gwess took the chance and slugged her, shrinking her so she'd fall through the nearby door which led to the guard room.

"Jolyne!," Rainbow called out. She reached out to grab Jolyne, and suddenly found both of them floating, letting her grab Jolyne easily. "The hell...?," Gwess muttered. A pair of large, majestic wings was coming out of Rainbow's back. Jolyne smirked as Rainbow pulled her back, her body growing. "What's going on!?," Gwess demanded, "You should still be shrinking because of my power!" "I think I know," Jolyne said, "It's because of Rainbow Dash here."

She looked at Rainbow's wings. "Those wings are projecting an area of perfect flight conditions. Can't really fly properly when you're the size of a mouse, can you? That's why hummingbirds use a flight method reminiscent of helicopters." She approached Gwess, who was now freaking out. "You said everything needs a name. In this Stone Ocean, I probably have more freedom than anyone else. Because of my family, because of my power. So now, I think I have the perfect name for my Stand... Stone Free!"

Rainbow Dash landed on the ground, and the wings pulled back to reveal a blue humanoid with rainbow-colored hair and a darker blue jumpsuit. "These Stands need names, right? I think I have the perfect name for my Stand too. It gives me my dream... The ability to just fly free, like the birds in the sky. So my Stand will be called... I'll Fly!" Gwess gulped as the two Stands moved to attack her with full force.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" Gwess collapsed to the ground, still alive but in no shape to keep trying to attack. Jolyne then pulled her up. "Now then, let's reestablish our little friendship here. Shall we?" Gwess nodded numbly. Rainbow chuckled. "I think we're gonna fit in right around here. I mean, we're probably the strongest girls here." Jolyne smirked. "There's still the matter of asking Ermes about the locket."

That night, Jolyne and Rainbow were sharing the bottom bunk, Gwess tied up in Stone Free's strings on the top. "So it seems Gwess had a desire to stand above the other inmates," Rainbow noted, "Seeing them only as pets to be kept." "Probably how her Stand manifested the way it did," Jolyne suggested. She had been deep in thought. 'Is it my turn now? Dad had his turn at destiny, then Uncle Josuke. Maybe it's my time to carry on the Joestar legacy.'

She touched her hand to her neck, feeling the spot where the familiar star-shaped birthmark was located. "What's that?," Rainbow asked. "Just a family birthmark," Jolyne explained, "Everyone with my family's bloodline has it. Even one odd family member who lives out in Italy." The girls looked at each other. "Hey," Rainbow said, "Thanks. For letting my have my dream. I've been dreaming about flying since I was a little girl." She chuckled. "Even dreamed I was a pastel pegasus flying with a pony version of the Blue Angels."

Jolyne giggled as she tapped Rainbow's nose. "That was all you, Rainbow. I just proved to be the catalyst needed for you to awaken that power." For the time being they'd be a couple, at least while in prison. Neither was adverse to a same-sex relationship, and since they were cellmates it made it convenient. "There's a lot of mysteries we need to solve at some point," Jolyne said, "Why did that man have a bullet wound in his body? Was he really already dead when he hit the car?"

"And what about Ermes?," Rainbow asked, "Did she get pricked by that arrow too? What's the deal with it anyway? How can it create these powers?" "It was carved from a meteor that held a mysterious virus," Jolyne explained, "Most get killed by it, but those that survive gain Stand powers. Both my parents are Stand users, which is why I didn't need the arrow." "Huh," Rainbow said, "My grandma is also a Stand user, but I guess it skipped a generation because neither of my folks had such a thing." Jolyne yawned. "Well, let's figure that out tomorrow." They snuggled together, as Gwess cried herself to sleep, unable to do more than whine pathetically.

And so Rainbow gains her Stand. See the archives for more details.
