Foo Fighters is a mass of intellectual plankton. This stand technically does not have a user and acts as her own entity. Her source of power comes from water. With water, she can manipulate and make anything she wants freely, she can regenate, and when in water, she can swim at super speeds.

"Foo Fighters! I can't believe you're alive!" cried Jolyne, tears of joy rolling down her cheeks, happy to see her old friend alive again. But Foo Fighters did not return the feeling. Rather, it questioned Jolyne.
"Who are you?" she asked. "And how do you know my name?" Jolyne, wipes her tears.
"It's me, Jolyne. Remember? Back in Green Dolphin Street Prison? In Florida? I spared your life in a fight and we became best friends! Remember?" Foo Fighters just tilts her head.
"I'm sorry you must have mistaken me for something else. I was never on some prison, I was born here in this cave a week ago." Jolyne suddenly remembered what Foo Fighters said when she died. She said that the disc that contained the Foo Fighters stand could make a new Foo Fighters, but not the same as herself. Jolyne felt really sad again. The Foo Fighters that stood in front of her though got down to business. "Look, just tell all of those ponies to leave me alone. I had nothing to do with those victims. All I want is to attain more knowledge from them by just simply observing. You see, my hunger for knowledge cannot be satisfied. I always seek to learn new things. I learned a lot about this world during this week. I learned the language, the culture, the history, and I quite like it. All I want is to learn in peace. And I will fight to keep that right." Jolyne suddenly felt angry.
"You know what? I don't believe you. I know your type, you only function by following someone else. And I know you were put here by someone who has a hold of your disc. Who is it?! Is it that bitch priest? Huh?!"
"Priest? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Withholding information huh? Well I guess I have to beat it out of you. Stone Free!" Jolyne brings out her Stand, and Stone Free starts off by throwing a huge left hook. Foo Fighters dodges, and quickly jumps into the pool of water nearby. The she starts to splash the water all around the cave floor.
"This ensures my victory." said Foo Fighters. Jolyne attacks again by shooting out strings from her fingers and binds Foo Fighters into a net, making sure it's tight enough to not leave any holes for F.F. to escape through. How ever, even when the hole was the size of a mere penny, F.F. pushes her slime body through the hole and jumps into the water, quickly jumping from puddle to puddle, going so fast, Jolyne could barely see her. Jolyne retrieves her strings, then quickly readies herself for another attack. F.F.'s slime body crawled into the puddle behind Jolyne, the she shoots slime balls at Jolyne, which were fast as bullets. Jolyne sees this and makes a hasty bullet proof jacket out of her strings. She gets the wind knocked out of her by the slime bullets, but at least it didn't go through her. She stumbles on to the ground as F.F. go in for another attack. She turns her arm into a spike and attempts to drive it through Jolyne's abdomen. But again, she dodges, only receiving a scratch. She kicks the spike arm, as it splatters all over the cave arm, but it didn't matter to F.F. as she grew another arm. Jolyne knew that it was useless to try and fight F.F. near a large body of water. She was practically indestructible. She had to make a plan to try and lure her away from the water. But how? F.F., again, shot slime bullets at Jolyne, and she rolls out of the way. She then decided to run into the pool of water then dived down.
"Ha! Silly thing! You cannot escape me. I am unbeatable in the water!" said F.F. as she follows Jolyne into the water. Jolyne was swimming for her life. This may have been the dumbest thing she has ever done, but she knew she couldn't do anything in the cave. She swam down to exit the cave, then upwards towards the surface. But alas, there was no way anything could out swim Foo Fighters. F.F. grabbed Jolyne from behind in a flash. "Like I said. Nothing in the water could escape me." Foo Fighters tried to crush Jolyne but her victim dissolved into sparkling dust. The confused Foo Fighters looked up to see multiple Jolynes. Foo Fighters then attacked each Jolyne, one by one, dissolving each into dust. "Argh! She couldn't have gone too far!" Foo Fighters looks farther up to see that there were Jolynes practically above the surface. "Impossible." Foo Fighters shot upwards, ignoring the Jolyne clones near the cave and once again attacked each one. "Grrrrrr!" In rage, Foo Fighters had large tendrils shoot out from all over her body, as it stabbed each Jolyne, all of them dissolving into the water. Except for one in the surface. "Aaaaaaaah!" Foo Fighters shot herself through the water like a speeding torpedo. She rammed herself through Jolyne and she blew up in dust, this one was not the real Jolyne, however, her extremely fast momentum still propelled her out of the water and into the air. As Foo Fighters fell down, she was caught into a net of string and was quickly tossed into some sand. There, Foo Fighters quickly dried up and was powerless. She slowly crawled towards the lake, but was once again caught in string. Foo Fighters saw Jolyne walk between her and the water.
"I know you can't do shit without water." said Jolyne.
"B-but how? How did you know there was sand here?"
"Because I found it when I got out of the water moments ago."
"What? But how were you not killed while swimming here? I made sure non of you survived."
"Well you see, I knew immediately that I wouldn't win in that cave from the get go, so I made a dust clone then ran off. I counted on it lasting long enough to go through the plan. I have this power where I can create illusions of myself through the dust my Stand makes. And then I can also control it from about 100 meters away. My clones can't fight, put enough force on them and they disappear, but they can sure stall like pros. Now, tell me. Who do you work for?" Foo Fighters was starting to shrivel up.
"I told you..... I don’t...... work...... for anybody......" Jolyne wanted to not believe her, but she did. She felt sorry for her. Jolyne knew this wasn't the Foo Fighters she knew back in Green Dolphin, but she still felt a connection with the stand in general. She decided to give her some water. She made a bucket out of tightly nit string and poured it onto Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters felt better, but the sand she was on would quickly dry her up. She still felt appreciative about the gesture. "Weren't you sent here to deal with me? Why are you helping me out?"
"Because I miss my old friend." Jolyne saI'd with tears. She holds out her hand towards Foo Fighters. F.F. looks at her hand then looks up at Jolyne, holding out hers. Their hands were about to meet, but suddenly.
"There's the monster, grab it!" The guards in armor suddenly catch Foo Fighters in the cage. Jolyne was surprised at first, then she got angry.
"Hey! Let her go- woah!" Jolyne felt something lift her up. She saw that it was Princess Twilight. "You bitch!"
"I don't appreciate that language. I do however appreciate you bringing the monster to us. This thing has a lot to answer for. The two victims in the hospital are dead! And it's all because of this thing. I'm not usually like this, and I hate to be, but this monster must answer for the pain it has caused to my friends."
"It wasn't her! I swear!"
"Are you actually sympathizing with this monster?"
"Just let me explain! Just please let her go! She's dying and needs water!"
"And why do you care?"
"Because she's my friend!" Twilight eases up when she heard this. "Please. Just let me explain." Twilight took a few seconds to think about it.
"Very well." she drops Jolyne. Jolyne quickly makes her string bucket again, runs to the lake, fills it up with water, and splashes it on Foo Fighters, who nearly died from being to dry. Foo Fighters would last longer, now that she isn't on the sand.
"How can they see you when you're a Stand?" Jolyne quickly whispers to Foo Fighters
"I don't know," whispered Foo Fighters back. Twilight looks at Jolyne impatiently.
"Well? Explain yourself." said Twilight.
"I know for a fact Foo Fighters didn't do it. All she did those nights during this week was observe. She's a creature of knowledge, and wishes only to learn. Back in my world, she was a true friend, and always stood by my side. She saved my life many times, and I trust her with all my heart. If you want her, you'll have to go through me first." Jolyne readied her battle stance. Twilight sighed. She was about to say something, but was interrupted by anot her guard running from Ponyville.
"Princess! Several more citizens are unconscious!"
