Jojo Vaati tennis

"Cease your comic japing, for now you shall DIE." During the brief distraction, Vaati had built up an especially large ball of energy, and at the explosive punctuation of his sentence hurled it toward Foo. JoJo dove and swung his saber like a cricket bat to launch it back at Vaati. But not back at where Vaati currently stood, no. Every time one of his balls of energy was returned to him, he teleported away with ease. No—JoJo lowered his senses deeper, into that ephemeral stream of energy known as the Force. He launched the ball not at where Vaati was now, but where he sensed Vaati would teleport.

It worked. The instant JoJo's saber collided, Vaati teleported—directly into the line of fire. Yet Vaati was not bereft of wiles yet. He had teleported near the still-holey and still-punning pig, from whom he wrenched the cartoon mallet, which he then slammed into the orb of energy to launch it right back at JoJo.

JoJo reflected the blow, and again Vaati teleported into its trajectory, and again Vaati knocked it back.

JoJo hit it again. With every hit it gained speed, it was now blistering quick, and only by plotting his every footstep seconds in advance could he keep up with its pace. Vaati deflected it. JoJo was already swinging, the ball went swirling back.

And that time it was going so fast that when Vaati teleported, it was already inches away. He had no time to swing. The blast hit him and sent sparks skyward. Vaati, electrified, slumped to his knees; paralyzed! Speedwagon helpfully explained:

"What a show—that's our JoJo! He immobilized the fiend by reflecting his own attack, I've never seen such skill, such speed, such presence of mind! The exchange has left Vaati incapacitated for the next few seconds, enough time for JoJo to get up close and whale on him with the saber. I suspect JoJo will have enough time to eliminate exactly one-third of Vaati's total vitality before the fiend recovers his senses."

Those numbers were oddly specific, but JoJo had to trust his friend's powers of perception. He moved in to 'whale' away one-third of Vaati's life, but someone else got there first.
