Get ready for a satisfying beat-down of one of THE most hated one-shot characters in all of Jojo. And some significant changes for the future.

As the trio went to look for their friends, Polnareff kept noticing the strange man behind him, distracting him and letting Jotaro and Fluttershy get further and further away. "You there," Polnareff said, "I don't like that look in your eyes. You've clearly been following us for some time." The man, Alessi, tried look confused. "Oh sorry, it's just coincidence. I was just looking for my change." "In that case," Polnareff said, summoning Silver Chariot, "Perhaps you'd like to prove you're not an enemy."

Alessi sighed, and his shadow suddenly gained a pair of eyes. It was Alessi's Stand, Sethan. Said shadow Stand rushed at Polnareff, who quickly jumped to avoid an attack. "So you are a Stand user!" Alessi smirked and ran off, Polnareff following him, calling out, "Jotaro, Fluttershy! I've found another Stand user!" Jotaro and Fluttershy heard him, but when they turned around they couldn't see him. "Now we've lost Polnareff," Fluttershy noted. "Let's backtrack," Jotaro suggested, "He can't have gone far. Iggy." "I'm on it," Iggy said, "That's strange, his scent is slowly changing."

Meanwhile Polnareff was trying to catch Alessi, but the man seemed to be getting faster. And more than that, Polnareff seemed to be somehow shrinking. And other people were treating him like a kid for some reason. Eventually, he found himself in front of a mirror. As he looked, he realized what was going on. "I... I've turned into a kid!" Sure enough, Polnareff had somehow regressed in age to that of a child. "But how did I...? Wait, that Stand user earlier. His shadow touched mine when I jumped over it. That must be when it affected me."

Just then, Jotaro and Fluttershy appeared. Fluttershy blinked. "Hey, Jotaro. Doesn't this kid kinda look like a younger Polnareff?" Jotaro looked at the young boy that was Polnareff. "Maybe, but look at him. He doesn't look like he knows us. Let's keep moving." Fluttershy reluctantly complied, but couldn't help but look back at the kid. As they rounded the corner, Alessi poked his head out. "That was a close one. DIO noted how insightful that girl Fluttershy is."

He chuckled at the sight of Polnareff's predicament. "Looks like my Stand took effect. Soon he'll lose all his memories of being a grown-up. This is my favorite part. Such a good boy..." Meanwhile, Polnareff was feeling fuzzy. 'This isn't good... I know I've seen that couple before, but I can't remember their names. It feels like all my memories of being an adult are starting to fade.' Just then, Alessi appeared in front of him, chuckling.

"Name's Alessi. This isn't something I can say out loud," Alessi said, "But I just love picking on those weaker than me. Maybe a little too much. I'm probably sick in the head, but as the saying goes, 'If you think you're crazy, then you probably aren't.' So I might be sane." "No," came Fluttershy's voice behind him, freaking out Alessi, "You're still insane. At the very least you're sociopathic." 'Oh crap!,' Alessi thought, 'She may be a girl, but she's probably one of the strongest Stand users in the group.'

He then felt himself get pricked in the back of the neck. He turned to see a tiny version of Silver Chariot trying to stick him. "Whoops," Alessi said, "I guess even at that age he could summon his Stand. Huh...?" Polnareff, not recognizing Fluttershy, had taken the chance to run. "Darn it," Alessi muttered, "Well, I still have her to deal with. Luckily Fluttershy stepped into the effect of my Stand." Sure enough, now Fluttershy was starting to shrink back into a child. Alessi chuckled. "I have you now!" Fluttershy smirked. "Oh do you...? PERVERT! THERE'S A PERVERT HERE!" Alessi freaked out as several locals approached at Fluttershy's scream, forcing him to flee.

As Polnareff ran from the scene, he suddenly tripped. Luckily, the next person he saw was a young woman, Malena. "Oh my," she said, "Are you alright little boy?" Polnareff considered his options. 'I have to defeat that freak or I'll stay a kid for a long time. But then again, if I stick with her there's no way he'll approach. I'll have some breathing room to think up a plan.' He immediately started crying. "I... I lost my family... I can't find them anywhere!"

Malena knelt down, seeing Polnareff was scuffed up from the fall. "Oh dear... Well, I can't leave you alone out here. Let's get you cleaned up, then look for your family." Nearby Alessi watched as Malena lead Polnareff away. "Damn it... I can't let some snot-nosed punks outwit me. The crowd back with Fluttershy is too risky. My Stand can only affect so many at once. But Polnareff only has one person with him. That makes things easier." He carefully followed at a distance.

Inside Malena's house, Polnareff peeped out the window of the bathroom on the second floor. "It doesn't look like he's following me...," he muttered. "Come on child," Malena said, "Let's get you washed up." Polnareff turned around and his eye nearly bugged out of his head. Malena was doing up her hair and had stripped down to just her undergown. Polnareff couldn't help but noticed what a perfect Egyptian beauty she was. 'I guess my mind still has some adult qualities. Because she looks gorgeous!'

Malena started to undress Polnareff, which made him a little embarrassed, especially when it turned out his willy wasn't as mature as his mind. "Come on now," Malena said softly as she brought Polnareff closer to start washing him, giving him a pleasant feel of her breasts. 'Can it be!? Am I finally getting a nice experience in a foreign bathroom!? Mon Dieu!' He was too distracted to notice Alessi's Stand. However, he soon realized it when Alessi made a mistake by chuckling.

'Oh crap!,' Polnareff called out, 'I nearly forgot about him!' Before his eyes Malena immediately started to regress in age. "It could be bad if it gets too far," Polnareff said, and immediately grabbed her away. "What... What's going on?," she asked, "Why did you get bigger?" "No time to explain!," Polnareff said, "There's a bad man coming after us and we need to hide!" Just then, Alessi burst into the room.

"Silly me for getting so into this," he admitted, "But you're right, Polnareff. If you hadn't pulled that woman out when you did, I could have regressed her age all the way down to a fetus! Imagine if you got hit again, I could easily reduce your age even further!" As he laughed, Polnareff sent Silver Chariot and stabbed Alessi in the tongue. He was so distracted by the pain Polnareff was able to grab Malena and run out of the bathroom. Unfortunately, he wound up passing through Sethan again, causing them both to get even younger.

"You little brat!," Alessi called out, "I'll make you pay for that! But it seems you've already hit my Stand a second time. By now they must be around three years old each. At that age there's no way I can lose to Polnareff!" He spotted them running a nearby room and went for the door, but it had already been locked. He looked through the keyhole and saw Polnareff directing Malena somewhere, but he saw the only window was barred. Chuckling, Alessi said, "Locking this door won't help. You've already trapped yourself."

He took out a large axe and starting chopping into the door. Once a wide enough hole was made, he peered into the room. "As Jack Nicholson once said... Here's Johnny!" But then he noticed both kids were gone. "What the heck? They should still be in here. At that age there's no way Silver Chariot could cut through the bars, and they look untouched besides." He saw a small bucket under the window. 'Could he have slipped through with the girl? No... Even at his smaller size that should be impossible. He must be somewhere in here.'

He looked a nearby doll. "Perhaps in there!" He sliced apart the doll, but nothing but stuffing came out. He then tried the nearby clock, and then overtipped the bucket. And then the drawer of the table holding a fish tank on top. "Damn it! Even if he and the girl hid separately I should have gotten one of them!" He then heard Polnareff laughing. "To think the great Alessi could be outsmarted by a little kid!" Alessi thought he heard the laughing come from the fish tank.

"Could it really be coming from here?," he said aloud, "It's certainly big enough to hold both of them but I don't see... Ah!" One of the fish seemed to disappear as if behind a pane of glass. Before he could react, a ball on the top of the fish tank suddenly had eyes in it, and a familiar rapier pierced Alessi through the nose. Polnareff emerged from the tank having used the ball to keep from having to submerge himself while Malena used a length of tube normally used for the filter. A long mirror in the room completed the hiding place.

"Even at three years old!," Polnareff called out, "Silver Chariot is still strong enough to slice your face!" He proceeded to do just that, causing Alessi to cry out in pain. Naturally, Malena was confused as why cuts were suddenly appearing all over Alessi. Alessi ran out of the room in pain and wound up crashing out a nearby window. As he opened his eyes, he saw Jotaro, with Fluttershy a few paces away. Alessi gasped. 'That's right! Polnareff only met Jotaro recently, but Fluttershy grew up with him! So even as a little girl she'd remember who he is!'

"That was quite a fall," Jotaro said, the suspicion in his voice obvious, "And you're covered in blood. Care to explain?" Alessi wasn't sure what to do. If Fluttershy recognized Jotaro, there was no doubt she told him all about Alessi's Stand. Luckily for him, Polnareff chose that moment to appear in the window. "Hold it right there, dickhead!" Jotaro turned at the sound, and Alessi smirked. 'Just the distraction I needed. I couldn't have planned it better myself!'

He immediately sent out his Stand. "Jotaro, look out!," Fluttershy called out. As Jotaro dodged, Polnareff said, "Oh, his name was Jotaro. Now I remember." Alessi chuckled. "You managed to avoid a full shot, but I still touched your shadow!" Jotaro gasped as he started regressing back to a seven-year-old. "I'm told you only developed your Stand recently," Alessi said, "So now you're completely helpless!" He then saw Fluttershy giggling. "What's so funny girl?" "You may know about Jotaro not having his Stand as a kid," she said, "But what you clearly don't know... Is that he got it when he was seventeen!"

Alessi looked shocked. "He's seventeen!? At that size!?" Jotaro then punched Alessi, easily doing tremendous damage and knocking out several teeth. "Whoa!," Polnareff said in shock, "He decked him! With his little kid fist!" "Go Jotaro!," Fluttershy called out. "Gimme a break...," Jotaro muttered, "Don't underestimate me just because I'm a little kid." He then proceeded to punch Alessi at rapid speed, pretty much mimicking Star Platinum as closely as he could.

"You gotta be kidding!," Alessi said as he stumbled, "You mean to say Jotaro could kick ass even as a little kid!" "The last time Jotaro got injured in a fight was in elementary school," Fluttershy said, "But even then it was just him getting a cut on his knuckles from his opponent's teeth." "So tough, even as a kid," Polnareff noted, "Badass!" Alessi wound up tripping on his own axe, and wound up passing out.

Jotaro and Fluttershy found themselves returning to their normal age. "We're back to normal!," Fluttershy called out. Shortly afterward Polnareff joined them, also returned to his normal age. "Finally... I've been having problems ever since Alessi ambushed me." "So that was you earlier," Jotaro said, "Just what happened to you?" "It's a long story," Polnareff said, "There's another woman who was taking care of me during that time and also got affected, but she should be back to normal as well." Fluttershy then noticed one of Polnareff's earrings was missing.

As Alessi came to, he saw the three Stand users standing over him and freaked out. Being flat on his back he was basically trapping his own Stand. "Not good enough," Polnareff decided, "Time to put the final nail in the coffin." Alessi screamed as Silver Chariot, Star Platinum, and Music in the Trees appeared and drew in close to attack. Star Platinum and Music in the Trees were grinning wickedly. Silver Chariot might have been as well, but with its face plate it was hard to tell.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"
"HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA!" "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The barrage of fists, vines, and slashes sent Alessi skyward, screaming, "VERY GOOD!" "Whelp, there he goes," Fluttershy said, "Doing a great impression of a rocket, if I may say." Back in her home, Malena found herself back to normal. "What was that all about? Some sort of strange delusion?"

She then saw the earring Polnareff dropped. "No... It was real somehow. This earring is proof. But what happened to that brave boy?" She got herself dressed and ran out of her house, where she was ran into Polnareff and the others. She soon caught sight of the Frenchman and realized he had a similar earring. Their eyes met, but something stopped them from approaching each other. Smiling knowingly, Malena walked off, as if to search elsewhere.

"Polnareff that's not like you," Fluttershy noted, "She's never really seen you before, yet it's clear she might be into you." Polnareff smiled. "She may indeed be the perfect woman, beautiful and kind. But there's no time for romance. Not until DIO is defeated, and I know she won't be put in danger because of me. I may never see her again, and I'm alright with that. It's enough... Just to know..." Despite his words, Jotaro and Fluttershy spotted a tear coming from his eye.

The group eventually reconvened and shared their stories. "So that's six of DIO's elite guard defeated," Joseph noted, "N'Doul, Oingo, Boingo, Anubis, Mariah, and Alessi. Only four Glory Gods remaining. And we're only a couple days away from Cairo. It's still something of a time crunch, but at the same time we're doing alright so far." "Let's not rest on our laurels," Hol Horse said, "Those last four are bound to be even stronger. And who knows who else DIO has up his sleeves. We've got a long ways to go."
