Crimson vs Gold! A Shining Clash!

“OOZAA” Star Crimson throws a strong right-hook at Golden Samurai that deflect it with its sword and swings to the chest, but Star Crimson dodges that and the two Stands encage in a barrage clashes of fists vs blade.

Shadow and Goruden as usual stand still facing each other from a few feet away unleashing their Stands at each other trying to gain the upper hand in this battle. They Users didn’t dare to look away so that one of the other catching an opening in their attacks and tries to deliver a strong blow to damage each other.

While the two are fighting, they can hear someone singing not too far from them, considering their battlefield is near the big stage where the final round of the Battle of the Band is being held seeing some lights pointing upward and some fireworks.

Star Crimson throws another punch as Golden Samurai catches it with its own hand and thrust its sword at the stomach, but the crimson Stand caught it with its own hands before the blade could even touch the skin. The sword’s sharp side seem to have cut Star Crimson’s palm as Shadow’s hand is bleeding, Star Crimson strikes Golden Samurai in the side with its tail pushing it away as Goruden moved from his spot a few inches feeling the same pain as his Stand.

“Very impressive, your Stand is quite powerful, just as Joker said.” Gourden said calmly like the pain doesn’t bother him.

Golden Samurai attacks with a barrage of rapid sword thrusts, moving fast like it striking with a dozen swords or more, Star Crimson deflects each strike, but the blade leaves some small cut wounds on its arms as Shadow felt his arms getting cuts and some small trail of blood is pouring out. Star Crimson yells as it punches the blade up over Golden Samurai’s head leaving a moment opening to attack. It charges up its fist with Hamon making it glow a little brightly in a red-golden flame-like aura.

“Crimson Hamon Punch” Star Crimson yells OZA while launching its fist right into the chest of the enemy Stand and sending it along with Goruden flying about 18 feet away as they crash to the ground on his back.

Goruden gets up ready to fight again, he notices the pain from his chest it gone the moment he got up, the punch was certainly strong to leave cracks on his rib cage but somehow, he’s okay. Maybe Star Crimson isn’t all that special though he can’t wait his guard down and must finish Shadow Joestar here and now. All, is the will of his Master.

Shadow leaps up high with Star Crimson’s legs combined with his, going right above Goruden and deliver a strong drop-kick to the head only for Goruden to move out of the way in time. Shadow swings his arm at his opponent, but misses again as he ducks under the arm and does a backflip-high kick to the chest leaving a cut hole to the shirt; good thing Shadow dodges that otherwise he would’ve have a big bloodstain and it’s hard to clean those off. The tall Joestar quickly notice Golden Samurai coming at him with its sword fast and strong hoping to pierce his head, he narrowly dodges that before jumps away.

Shadow touch his cheek to feel a light cut wound.

“(That Stand of his sure is a strong one with that sword, strong strikes and fast nearly matching Star Crimson’s. Better be careful or else I’ll be turn in sushi.)” Shadow thought admitting that Goruden and his Stand are strong, but nothing he can handle though can’t underestimate him yet.

“Nice kick, you carry a sword in those pants of yours?” Shadow asked joking though to his surprise Goruden did indeed have a sword as he pulls it out of his pants.

“I was hoping to catch you off guard earlier, but you have faster reflexes than I thought.” Goruden said, Shadow is still shock that he keeps a sword in his PANTS of all places to hide it in.

“I’ve been training in the art of sword fighting all my life, sharping my skills and pushing through my limits. And tonight, your blood will be next to stain my sword as you die.” Goruden claimed getting in his battle stance, ready to attack.

Shadow snaps out of his shock putting up his defense, the two stares at each other for a while waiting for the right moment to make the first move. Shadow should’ve thought about bringing some sort of protection against a sword, but he thought of the next best thing hopefully it’ll help him. Goruden focus on Shadow not caring about his surroundings and tighten his grip on his sword as the golden aura coursing all over his body, same for Shadow as both fighters are ready to bring out their Stands and their attacks at any moment.

Suddenly, Shadow heard a familiar trio of girls started singing as a special dramatic music is playing in the background. Shadow knew it’s the Dazzlings on stage singing to their heart’s content knowing their gonna carrying on their plan they have attended, but remember Adagio saying something about she and her sisters making their choice if anything happens to them.

That’s when both Shadow and Goruden charge toward each other at the same time. Goruden prepare for a down stroke attack as Shadow raise up his left arm for defense, Goruden thought Shadow is crazy thinking he can block sword when it’s only going gave him the advantage more after his foe one arm short. When the two came close, Goruden swing his sword down with all his might making contact to the skin cutting the flesh and through the bone, but to the golden Stand User’s surprise, it did not cut through. Goruden is confuses of why can’t he cut Shadow’s arm off until he notices some orange-yellow spark coursing through and strange purple vines wrapping around his arm, he didn’t pay attention when Shadow punched him in the face leaving a bruise mark. Shadow was about to straight-kick him in the stomach, Goruden manage regain his focus quickly to block the kick with his sword and Golden Samurai came out swinging its blade to the neck only for Star Crimson catching it with its elbow and knee then smack it away with its free hand. Shadow and Goruden jumps back away from each other.

“What was that thing on your arm, it looked like a vine, but it also blocked my sword like it was made of steel?” Goruden asked.

“To be honest, I’m not sure myself; my Stand Star Crimson was all about just super strength and speed, but lately it’s been growing stronger and stronger with new powers popping up like a Christmas tree. And I just discovered this now.” Shadow said not sure of what’s going on with himself and his Stand. He looks at Star Crimson as it stands by his side and the purple vines from before spurted out of its hand.

“It all started when I first came to this world and the next thing I knew my Stand has been getting new powers from others like me, like I have inherited powers from my family I think.” Shadow continued with his explanation the best he can.

“(Inherited. Family. That sounds like my Master when he told me and the others about his Stand.)” Goruden thought then remember of what Joker said to him and Master about Shadow’s Stand.

“I thought you’re the only one who can pull off some crazy things with just one Stand but after my fight with Dojo. I learned there’s another just like you.”

“(Damn you, Joker, it seems you were right about Shadow somehow being equal to the Master.)” Goruden thought angered, he always hated whenever that clown is always right about something as he tightens his grip on his sword in rage.

He always believes that his Master has been the only one with a Stand that can make the world bow to their knees and worship him like God, destined to rule the world and guide others to an everlasting life golden paradise where everything is blessed. For those who are against the Master, he’ll kill without hesitation.

Goruden then had thought about something Shadow Joestar doesn’t have like his Master. Experience.

“(Yes, Master had years of training with his powers and this fool says he just recently discovered them, which means he’s no threat to him.)” Goruden thought smirked, though he did wonder what Shadow meant by ‘this world’ but didn’t care.

“You may have a strong Stand, but that pales in compares to my Master’s Stand for he is that of a God!” Goruden said.

Shadow ready himself for whatever his opponent is gonna throw at him, now he is more curious of who this ‘Master’ and wonder if he does have a powerful Stand with more than one or two abilities like he does. If what’s find out more, he’ll have to defeat the Enemy Stand User and beat the answers out of him, maybe find out if Goruden is really loyal to this guy as he proclaimed.

Goruden charges again with Golden Samurai in front ready to pierce through the heart of his enemy and cut him into tiny pieces so small that no one can find them with a magnifying glass.

“Hermit Purple” Star Crimson unleashes a stream of purple vines at his target hoping to wrap them up tightly and painful considering they also have very sharp horns, but that didn’t work as Golden Samurai slices them all away.

“FOOL! Golden Samurai’s sword can cut through anything, you think some little vines can stop me, think again!” Goruden mocked.

“Why don’t you come here and find out!” Shadow taunted like he wants Goruden to come closer.

When Goruden got in closer he thought victory was his for the taking as he and Golden Samurai lifts their swords up, but he soon finds himself being lifted up in the air as he looks up to see more of the purple vines wrapped around his arms over a tree branch. He also sees the vines were hiding behind a tree branch and out of Star Crimson’s other hand.

“How’s it hanging.” Shadow joked smirking at his angry hanged foe.

“Goruden, your next line is, ‘Dare to mock me with tricky, how dishonorable of you’, go.” Shadow performed his Next Line Trick.

“Dare to mock me with tricky, how dishonorable of you.” Goruden snarled, then quickly gasps that Shadow somehow knew what he was gonna say and got hit hard in the chest by Star Crimson.

“OZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAAAA” Star Crimson barrage punched Goruden strong and fast then sending him flying severely away in the air crashing through some branches and to his surprise the tree his sliced in half before somehow began to pull itself back together with Goruden in the middle, but his slices them away as he crash into another tree and falls to the ground.

While groaning in pain, Goruden summon enough strength to uses Golden Samurai to strike the tree to slow down the fall and managed to land on his feet, but still feel his body like its screaming in pain and felt as few of his ribs are broken. However, he believes this pain is nothing and will continue fighting for his Master.

Shadow made his way to the injured Goruden though seeing him as he still wants to fight. He didn’t want to drag out this fight for long as he can hear the Dazzlings song is nearly the end though he can also hear another group singing against them, but he’ll find that out later.

“You are indeed special, not only with powers in your Stand but you also appeared to be smarter than you look. I commend you.” Goruden said admitting his mistake for underestimating Shadow.

“You’ve even manage to somehow make that tree I cut alive.” Goruden panted.

“Not really, it’s more like restoring it to its original state before you cut it in half.” Shadow explained.

“However, that will be the last thing you’ll ever hear once I unleash Golden Samurai’s true power.” Goruden declared as Golden Samurai appear above, raising its sword over its head and it glows brighter like the sun, nearly blinding Shadow as he covers his eyes.

The light lasted for a few more seconds and it shrinks to the sword, then it swings down the blade. Shadow quickly moves his body to the side to avoid a thin flying slash attack that flies pass him. Before he could even think of a plan to attack Goruden, he heard a falling-crashing sound from behind him, turning around to see a tall tree has been literally split up in two like it was cut as the now-two halves tree falls to the ground.

“You have quick the reflex to be able to dodge Golden Samurai’s Paradise Judgement speed which is exactly 671,000,000 mph, which is the speed of light.” Goruden impressed by Shadow reaction speed to dodge his attack.

“Well, I’m just full of surprises even to myself.” Shadow stated.

“However, there is a difference between reaction speed and travel speed.” Goruden smirked which made Shadow worry knowing what he’s talking about.

“Oh, I did forget to mention… flying slashes aren’t the only thing Golden Samurai can fire.” Goruden said as his Stand did a thrust forward which fires a thin laser beam at Shadow which he dodges it, but left a small hole in his jacket.

“Paradise Judgement: Arrows” Golden Samurai rapid thrusts his sword firing few dozens of laser beams all at once heading towards Shadow.

He dodges some while running around at top though which to his surprise he is 20 times faster which make his newest top speed 3,600 mph. Unfortunately, even his new speed is still not enough as most of the lasers hit him piercing his left arm and right leg, and a couple to his shoulder. Shadow groans in pain as blood began pouring out not noticing Goruden dropping in from above to cut him in two, luckily Star Crimson managed to save him by catching the sword with two hands and throw him aside.

“Paradise Judgement: Flying Slash” Golden Samurai swings it around like it’s cutting the air itself sending waves of flying slashes at Shadow.

This became more difficult since the slashes are longer lines coming at him than the laser beams, combining Star Crimson’s legs into his manage to dodge most of them with his reaction time though a couple were able to slice across his chest and his left cheek.

“Can’t dodge forever, Shadow, once your stamina is gone you’ll be dead. Which leaves those sirens for me kill next!” Goruden shouted as he continues his attack while jumping around not letting Shadow take a moment rest.

(Music End)

Suddenly, Goruden felt his body was hit by a truck or two or thousands as some blood spirt out and send flying to a tree, he struggles to get up, as his most of his bones are either broken or have large cracks on them, to see Shadow right in front of him staring down with pure rage in his eyes, like his red eyes are glowing, leaving Goruden confused.

“H-How did you do that?” Goruden asked.

(Flashback)

“Can’t dodge forever, Shadow, once your stamina is gone you’ll be dead. Which leaves those sirens for me kill next!” Goruden shouted as he continues his attack while jumping around not letting Shadow take a moment rest.

Shadow eyes widen of what his foe had just said; killing his girlfriends in cold blooded. Grinding his teeth and clutching his fist tightly, feeling his blood boiling like lava or something. Goruden made a BIG mistake saying those words and he’s gonna pay with things far worse than death as Shadow shot his eyes widen as they glow viciously: unleashing his Crimson Rage.

“STAR CRIMSON” Shouting with all his might, Star Crimson freezes time as something around him are frozen in place and quickly made his way to Goruden knocking away and breaking the flying slashes.

Shadow stares at his frozen enemy with that stupid smirk on his face, pouring all his Crimson Rage: whenever he’s in this state, Star Crimson’s strength increases by times 3 and his own strength as well, but leaves him in a vicious state despite stilling acting calm and all.

1 second has passed.

“OZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZA” Star Crimson unleash barrages of punches combining both strength and speed hitting Goruden like an out of control, rampaging beast.

2 second has passed.

“OZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZAOZA” Star Crimson continuing with the barrage not lighten up for Goruden to feel the full furry of his rage.

3 second has passed.

“OOOZZAAA” Star Crimson delivered the final blow at Goruden before Shadow and his Stand turn their backs on him looking away as Shadow tip his hat over his eyes.

4 second has passed.

“Time Flows Again” With that, everything has begun to move again, resuming the flow of time.

(Flashback End)

“Now, you’re going to get what’s coming to you.” Shadow stated as he brought up his own fist.

“Fool, there are others who serve the Master and if you try to stand in his way they’ll come and kill, and their more dangerous than me!” Goruden warned then Shadow punch him under the chin.

“LIKE I GIVE A DAMN!!” Shadow shouted in rage before sending Goruden flying with a strong uppercut crashing through the dome of the stage the music contest is, knocking him unconscious.

“Yare yare daze, that’s gonna cause a scene.” Shadow signed calming down from his Crimson Rage and walk to the stage.

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!” The sound of three girls screamed. Shadow feared something bad happened to the girls and made his way despite his injuries. Preying that the Dazzlings and everyone who is there is alright.

KO the new chapter is out and hope you all enjoy it!

Goruden sure gave Shadow a run for his money; getting injured and losing some blood, but he managed to pull through in the end finally defeating that guy. Then a loud scream was heard from the stage meaning something bad or terrible is happening. Shadow will gasp in shock of what he’ll find there.

Shadow’s Crimson Rage was inspired by Wolverine’s Berserker Rage, this is Shadow’s own power before he discovered his Stand making him a fierce in the hearts of his enemies though it does make him act like a vicious hungry animal despite acting calm on the outside.
