MY LITTLE JOJO: STANDS ARE MAGIC
CHAPTER 14: FUGUE MIGNORE VISITS THE APPLE FAMILY PART 3
OPEN THE GAME!

>*SMASH*
>Well, there goes that cabinet
>PP -*WHIINE*
"Sorry about this Pinkie."
>You keep your grip on Pinkie and use Saturn's Children to keep you both glued to the floor
>Jesus it feels like your bones could crack at any minute, but you don't know the full extent of Fugue's Stand
"'Ey, Tocatta?!"
>Toccata approaches at your request, making sure to not get too close
>T -"Yeah?"
"Can your brother's Stand...*grunt* increase the power of those it controls?"
>T -"No."
>Oh thank God
"Don't worry Pinkie-"
>You let your grip off of Pinkie's body
>Pinkie begins shaking her head and lets out a high pitched whine
>You stand up
"-This'll be ov-"
>A white-bramble-covered Ballroom Blitz strikes you full force in the stomach
>Ohhh that's gonna hurt when the adrenaline wears off
>Landing on (and breaking) another cabinet, you hold your arms up to shield yourself from the fine china now bombarding you from above
>Fuckfuckfuckfuck
>Shards of glass and porcelain rain from on high, a veritable shower of pain that soon ends
>Pinkie gets up from her spot on the ground-
>-Sorry about this Pinkie-
>-and you stop her in her tracks with Saturn's Children again
>Fuck today
>You try to get u-
>PAIN! NOPE!
>GS -"What in Tartarus? What's goin' on here?"
>Oh, now you respond?
"Toccata, how far away can Fugue use his Stand's ability?"
>T -"I don't know, but he can only put it on someone via touch"
>Alright, so there's no need to worry about anyone else getting randomly controlled
>But that leaves one last question
"Where is that fucker?"
>PP -"I remember getting hit in the b-"
>A large amount of the bramble begins crawling and covering Pinkie's mouth, and she lets off a scream before it completely closes off
>BM -"The barn!"
"Huh?"
>BM -"Ah remember that voice bein' louder in the barn!"
>Welp, good enough to go on for now
"Rarity, you said you got a Stand?"
>R -"Yup!"
"Kay, you and I will-"
>AJ -"Not so fast partner! Y'all ain't fit to go out t' fight in yer condition!"
>GS -"And y'all have some explainin' to do when all this is over!"
>AB -"Ah can take care o' that!"
>Applebloom, no
>AJ -"What are talking about?"
>NO!
>AB -"Anon told me all about yer Stand thingies!"
>AJ -"Did he now?"
>Aw GODDAMNIT
>Now you're never gonna hear the end of it!
>I trusted you Applebloom!
>We were gonna get ice-cream afterwards!
>You were my CHEEKI BREEKI!
>AJ -"How about y'all head to the barn yerself while I tend to Anon's wounds?"
>You could be at home right now
>Rarity nods and heads out the door
>Playing some games
>Applejack approaches you
>AJ -"Now how much did y'all happen to tell Applebloom?"
>You could be reading a nice book
>But nope
"Enough to help me search for Fugue?"
>AJ -"Is that so?"
>You were now stuck, having your wounds tended to by an angry mare
>Seriously
>Fuck todaAAAAAAA-

>You've got to hurry!
>Pinkie's relying on you!
>You bring out your Stand, eight metal spider-legs that jut out of your back
>As you approach the barn doors, they open
>Spike walks out
>You quickly wrap him in a hug
"Oh Spike! I'm so glad you're okay!"
>"Aw, thanks Rarity!"
"Are you hurt at all?"
>"No, I'm fine."
"Have you seen the pegasus we're looking for?"
>...
>He's silent for a minute or so
"Spike?"
>"Y-No."
>Huh?
"What was that Spike?"
>"...no."
>He couldn't be-
>Did he get to Spike?
>Ohhh Spikey-wikey!
>How dare that cretin-!
>*Inhale*... *exhale*
>Now now Rarity, it would not be very ladylike to just rush in like that
>Especially on an assumption
"Are you sure you haven't seen him Spike?"
>He shakes his head
"Nonetheless, I have to go in the barn. Excu-"
>You bump into Spike, his hand pushing against you
>"D-don't go in there."
>Now why would he want to keep me out of the barn?
"I'm sorry Spike, but I'm afraid I have to."
>You walk around him to the doors and he stops you
>"Rarity..."
>Hmm?
>"He'll attack you if you go in there."
"Even so, I must. I understand you're concerned about me, but-"
>"I don't want you to get hurt."
"And I understand, but right now-"
>"-Toccata could be attacking the others right now!"
>He really doesn't want you to go in, does he?
"Anon can take care of that."
>"Are you sure? Maybe you should go and check on the others."
"Yes, now I'm afraid you'll have to move!"
>You're not wasting anymore time!
"Apologies, Spike."
>You push Spike out of the way, and he lands with a thud
>With a buck, the barn doors open-door
>-and there's nothing inside
>Spike said that he was in here
>Why?
>"I told you not to go in."
>Wha-
>A punch from Spike throws you off-balance
"SPIKE?!"
>"I didn't want to do this Rarity-"
>Looking over, Spike seems to be covered in that same bramble as Pinkie
>"-but I have no choice."

>Well, aren't YOU just helpful Spike?
>Thanks to you, Rarity will get the idea to go back to the house, which is where YOU'RE heading
>THANKS A BUNCH, BUCKFACE
>Though, he should be able to distract her long enough for you to get into the nearby orchard
>All you have to do is that, gut Rarity (or take control of her and gut Spike) and then...
>You'll think of something
>You ARE the smarter Mignore brother
>After a few minutes or so of searching, you enter a suitable apple tree, knocking one or two apples down along the way
>Without a thought, you zoom down and pick the apples up
>After settling down to the best of your ability, you summon your Stand
>A podium of thick white branches pops up before you, holding a book currently showcasing Spike's Point-of-View
>Which is pitch black what the buck
>You should be seeing what he's seeing!
>Did Rarity knock him unconscious?
>Damn
>Well, now you'll have to go find another host for Skeleton Tree
>You sigh the sigh of a stallion that is done with this overcomplicated bullshit
>A voice breaks you from your thoughts
>A -"Look, I apologized for telling Applebloom about Stands n' such. What do you want from me?"
>Turning your head around, you spot Applejack and Anon entering the entrance of the orchard
>AJ -"To not involve my family in these matters! What in Sam Hill made you think it was a good idea to tell Bloom that she could get mysterious powers n' all that?! Do you know what she's gonna do next?"
>A -"*sigh No, I-"
>AJ -"She's gonna go tellin' her friends, and then they're gonna go tryin' ta get Stands o' their own, and then they're gonna attract more Stand Users and..."
>"...And I don't want her gettin' hurt. I can't bear the thought of my little sister gettin' hurt by somepony, let alone somepony with some strange magical powers n' whatnot."
>A -"*siiigh* Look, I-... I get it, alright?"
>AJ -"Do ya? Do ya really get why lettin' this information out might not be the best idea? 'Cause telling a little filly seems ta indicate otherwise!"
>Oof, that stung a bit
>A -"And you shouting about it doesn't help us to find Fugue!"
>He's got a point, it really doesn't
>AJ -"And another thang! Y'all been quite dodgy about yer past. What kinda life did you live before you got here anyhow?! It's certainly suspicious enough, what with whoever dun all this knowin' you by name!"
>OoohooohOOOH, Anon's lookin' pissed!
>AJ -"And ANOTHER thing!-"
>A -"Just stop..."
>Oh shit Anon's crackin'!
>It's like those dramas papa Mignore watched when you were younger, only now you got to see one improvised!
>A -"...I wanted nothing more than to protect her, and you, and all of our friends, and I GET IT! I DO! REALLY!"
>AJ -"Do ya?"
>Anon casts a cruel glare at her, before turning away
>A -"Go back and tend to the others. I'll keep searching myself."
>AJ -"Yer gonna search this ENTIRE orchard? By yourself?"
>A -"Yes. Now go."
>AJ -"Well I ai-"
>Applejack is pushed back before she can approach Anon, landing on her hooves
>...
>AJ -"Well fine then."
>Readjusting her stetson, Applejack trots back, her head hanging low
>Ahh, that was fun
>Now that things have settled down, it seems Anon is indeed searching for you alone
>You slowly slide your head back into the tree
>Why's it so dark all of a suddAAH-

>Yup, he's in there alright
>Did he not think you, the ever-observant Rarity, would not notice all of the fallen leaves around this tree?
>Or him poking his head out the side to get a glimpse of all that drama?
>Or the movements of the tree when he himself moved?
>In any case, that little spat between AJ and Anon bought you enough time to wrap him in-
>What is this stuff anyways?
>Some sort of silk?
>Cotton perhaps?
>Well, whatever it was, it was STRONG
>So much so that dragon claws can't cut them!
>And it's good at muffling voices too, what with Fugue having a hard time screeching at you
>You take him with you in your Stand's arms and crawl down the tree
>It take a second for Anon to recognize you
>A -"Oh shit! Rarity! What are you-"
>He takes a second to scan your back
>A -"-Is that Fugue?"
"Yup!"
>A -"Shit, well, I'm glad I don't actually have to search this entire orchard alone."
"What say we head on in, him?"
>A -"Yeah, sure."
>...
"Are you alright Anon?"
>A -"Yeah."
>"...I have to apologize to Applejack. What I did was completely unwarranted."
"Well she's not wrong. I really don't see why you had to bring Applebloom into this."
>A -"Well, I was searching through her room for Fugue, and she showed up and... fuck I don't know."
"Though, she DID lay it on quite thick."
>A -"What was I supposed to do?...
>Anon slows down a bit
"Are you sure you're alright Anon?"
>A -"Yeah... yeah, I'm fine."
>"...fuck today..."
