192. Rock Bottom Part V ~Returns~

tefan slaps Jotaro away as he is blasted into the ocean. Jotaro flies over the waters as he dodged Stefan's punches.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" cackled Stefan.

"ORA!!!"

Stefan tries to grab Star Platinum's fist, but it passes through his hand.

Jotaro observes this as he continued teleporting around Stefan.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!" Star Platinum punched Stefan over and over again, but there is no effect.

"Who the hell is he!? SUPERMAN!?" asked Jotaro. "I'm not a fan of Western Comics, but the old man used to tell me stories about Superman when I was a kid..."

Stefan blasted heat vision toward Jotaro as Jotaro stops time and teleports away.

In stopped time...

"Good..." whispered Jotaro. "At least he won't-..."

Stefan's eyes quiver in stopped time.

Jotaro's eyes widen. "Nani?"

Jotaro floats around Stefan.

Stefan's eyes twitch and follow Jotaro.

"NANI!?" asked Jotaro.

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZT*

Jotaro spun around and dodged Stefan's heat vision.

"Time began moving once more."

Time resumed...

"It seems I have invaded your world because of my speed..." sneered Stefan. "... Kujo Jotaro."

"What are you anyway? Some kind of Kryptonite?" asked Jotaro.

"Kryptonian... and no... I am a similar species called a Fortisite," said Stefan. "My species is actually where the Kryptonians descended from. But, in the Universe they entered, the Universe split into infinite timelines... They split into infinite realities stemming from the prime reality... They spread like rats, so to control them, my people turned all their yellow suns into red suns.How they were able to do that was lost in time... But the Fortisites used the Rune of the Diamonds to do so."

Jotaro slowly stood up. "I don't know what the hell you're yammering about, but I'm going to knock you down."

"Those words truly are familiar. But you add a little ZING to it!" Stefan sneered psychotically.

Stefan charged and slammed his fist toward Jotaro, but Star Platinum blocks the attack as Stefan struggles to continue to attack.

Jotaro stares at Stefan intently.

*BZZT*

Jotaro teleports away.

"You're not a Rangeless Stand-User," said Jotaro. "That means your Stand leaves your body... I KNOW WHY I CAN'T COPY YOUR POWERS!!!It's because you haven't activated your ability...Or perhaps your ability is automatic, but your Stand hasn't left your body... Is that correct?"

Jotaro's eyes widen.

"Hm? What's wrong? You felt someone die, didn't you? I felt it, too..."

Jotaro growled.

"Ah... Yes... Okuyasu Nijimura..."

"ORA!!!"

*BANG*

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!! ORA!!!"

*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!! BANG!!!*

Stefan is uninjured by this.

Jotaro squints his eyes. "You're getting annoyed, aren't you? That you can't touch my Stand..."

"Why can't you Joestars and Ibarras ever know WHEN TO QUIT!??"

Jotaro smiled.

"Hmhmhmhmhm... HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW!!!" cackled Stefan. "You think you've won this!? I know what you're trying to do... You're trying to make me bring out your Stand. But I don't have to rely on my Stand Ability to be able to kill you."

*BZZT*

"SUTA PURACHINA: ZA WARUDO!!!"

Jotaro stops time and goes behind Stefan. Jotaro then has an idea.

Jotaro begins to lose stamina as he continued stopping time.

Time resumed.

Jotaro panted and smiled.

 

(theme begins)

"What!?" asked Stefan.

Jotaro merely smiled but panted.

"WHAT!?"

"I managed to stop time for four seconds... for the first time in 13 years..." sighed Jotaro.

Stefan blasted his heat vision once more.

"SUTA PURACHINA: ZA WARUDO!!!"

Time stopped.

Jotaro managed to stop time for five seconds and fly behind Stefan.

Time resumed.

Stefan angrily turned to Jotaro. "I SAW YOU!!! I SAW YOU!!! WHY DID YOU MOVE THAT WAY!? WHAT DID YOU DO BEHIND ME!?? THAT WAS FIVE WHOLE SECONDS BEHIND ME!!! WHAT DID YOU DO!??"

Jotaro smiled gracefully.

Time stopped.

"One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. Four seconds. Five seconds..."

Stefan's eyes cannot turn any more, as Jotaro had traveled behind Stefan.

"...Six seconds..."

(theme begins at 0:36)

Stefan's eyes widen. "WHAT!?"

"Seven seconds... *cough...*"

Jotaro spits out blood.

Time resumed.

Jotaro pants as Stefan turns to Jotaro. "WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE YOU DOING!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK THERE!?? I KNOW THAT YOU'RE PLANNING SOMETHING!!!"

Jotaro smiles.

Time stopped.

"One second... Two seconds... Three seconds... Four seconds... Five seconds... Six Seconds... Seven seconds... Eight seconds... Nine seconds... TEN SECONDS... *GASP!!!*"

Time resumed.

Jotaro continues smiling.

Panicking Stefan tries to block Star Platinum from behind using his Stand... Rock Bottom.

Rock Bottom feels around behind him.

"N-nothing's there!"

"Dumbass... YOU FELL FOR IT!!!"

"RON-KA!!!"

Jotaro...

...is unaffected.

(theme begins at 1:40)

"TCH-!!! JO-... JOTARO!!!" whispered Stefan.

"RON-KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKA-!!!"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!"

Stefan and Rock Bottom blasted their fists toward Jotaro, but Jotaro is now also... unbreakable.

"YOU DARE... TRICK ME!??" asked Stefan.

"You fooled yourself, Stefan," said Jotaro. "You're an overthinker, aren't you? I only prolonged my time-stop to think that I was doing something behind you. It made you feel worried that I stayed idle for an increasing amount of seconds behind you... Yare yare daze... I haven't stopped time that long at all...I almost died... Just to beat you... That I commend you with..."

Jotaro vomits blood.

Jotaro trembles.

"Time to knock you down..."

Stefan sees a flashback of Miguel blasting his fists toward Stefan's face, absolutely destroying him with his Star Platinum way before.

"N-No... Miguel... S-Stay away from me!!!"

(theme begins at 2:15)

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!"

(theme begins at 2:29)

Jotaro stops time and begins beating Stefan for ten whole seconds in their world's time...

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!

ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!"

*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG POW POW POW POW BOOM BOOM BANG BANG BANG*

Several powerful shockwaves blast into Stefan's face.

Time resumed.

(and the theme ends)

*SPLAT*

Stefan is beaten to a pulp as blood explodes from many holes in his veins. Meanwhile, Jotaro's hands have exploded completely.

Jotaro vomits blood. "Y-...Yare yare daze..."

Jotaro's world begins to spin around him. "I-Irene... Antonia... Okuyasu... Old man..." Jotaro drops from the sky.

*SPLASH*

"W-W-W-W-WAIT!!!" yelled Prometheus. "Stefan has absolute defense! How was he able to beat the shit out of Stefan!?"

Because Jotaro copied Stefan's ability of Absolute Defense. Technically, Stefan isn't "indestructible" in a literal sense, as Jotaro being able to copy his absolute defense as well allows him to injure Stefan. The reason for this is that the action is an anomaly. Since the physical dimension could not comprehend an indestructible object striking another indestructible object, both objects are decidedly destroyed. It's the class unstoppable force vs. immovable objects. In order for reality not to shatter, fate offered a solution, which is physically injuring the two organisms who caused the paradox/
