Jojo's Bizzare Adventure: Mirror Mare

***

Look, no one ever said Jotaro Kujo was a nice guy. I beat the crap outta people, more than I have to. Some are even still in the hospital. I've had idiot teachers who like to talk big, so I taught them a lesson and they never came back to class. If I go to a restaurant and the food is bad, I make it a policy to stiff 'em with the bill. But, even a bastard like me... can spot true evil when he sees it!

***

The gun was aimed at his forehead, still threatening to blow his brains out. Jothan was praying that he wouldn't have the balls to pull the trigger, hoping that this would all just end and that he would be able to go home...
But DeCay's unwavering hoof told him otherwise...
"Now listen..." DeCay ordered, breaking the tension by just a bit, "I'ma make myself clear. Very clear. Ok?"
Jojo nodded, feeling he had no other option but to comply.

"At 10:43 AM this morning, I had several upon several reports of a 'murder' in the district.
A local Manehattan citizen had his jaw forcibly torn off of its hinges and you where the only one found there by my officers...
Despite your slim chances of innocence, I'm curious. How on this good green earth do you justify yourself? How do you plead in such an open-and-shut case?" Judging by his scrunched up expression of anger, Jothan knew he wasn't kidding about sending him to death by his own hoof.
Even then, he knew he couldn't show fear.
To him, fear was a big white flag that can be slapped straight on your face.
It's more than a sign of weakness. Its the thing that lets the person responsible for your strife know that they're in your head, and that they've already won...
And Jothan hated losing.

"Another stallion did it." He stated calmly. 'You know you're innocent...Just prove it.' he repetitively said to himself.
"I don't know how, but he did. His method of pulling off the killing blow is... well, it's complicated."
"Elaborate." DeCay countered, forcing a sigh out of Jojo.

"Don't take my word for it for it, I might have been a bit hazy at the time. But from the way it appeared, the guy just sorta... stopped time."
The gun aimed at his head lowered ever so slightly as the detective seemed to flash a hint of suprise and... Wait? Was that fear?
Nevertheless, DeCay shook off his feelings and pressed on with the task at hand.
"You said that he could stop time?" Sounding skeptical, yet the tone didn't feel genuine.
"Yes, not only that. But he also had these weird, ghost arms that came out of his front shoulder joints."
"Excuse you?"
"I'm not kidding! Those arms were the things that punched the stallions face clean off! I think he called that power his Stand or something..." At that exact moment, DeCays heart stopped. His face went pale as he heard the word leave Jothans mouth. Withdrawing his 9mm, the now stressed pony placed a hoof on his temple as he looked away slightly.
Jojo noticed this very easily and asked the obvious,
"Are...Are you Ok?"

"Don't worry about me." DeCay ordered, bring himself back to reality,"Carry on with your statement."
"O-oh. Well, other than the whole 'time stop' shenanigans... Dio, the stallion in question, had a serious abundance of strength...! Or rather his Stand did. I found that out the hard way after blocking what was meant to be a punch that would end my life.
"Even then, a crater formed under my hoofs just from tanking the blow..."

The next few seconds were proceeded by dead silence as DeCay shut his eyes and put a hoof to his chin in thought.
"So the prophecy was true... This is bad..." He thought aloud in a stage whisper.
"Umm, what?" Jothan asked, tilting his head.

"I believe you." DeCay replied, snapping his eyes open.
"Wait, seriously?"
"Yes. You are indeed innocent in all of this."

"O-ok then..." Jothan questioned his sudden change of mind. But if it meant that he would live, then he wouldn't question it any further. "Sooo... Does that mean I can go?"
"Not so fast."
Jojo cursed under his breath, what more did the detective want from him...?
"I can't just let you go just yet, pal. I'm still not done with your interrogation..."
"Come on...!" Jojo said, beginning to grow more and more impatient, "What else do even have left to ask? I've told you everything!"
"No...! Not everything. I just have one more question for ya. But before I ask, please... Forgive me for this."

DeCay whipped out his pistol, in one swift motion, and pulled the trigger.
A 'BOOM' erupted throughout the room as the gunfire flash blinded its target... Jothan Jotaro!

In a fraction of a second, everything seemed to slow down as the bullet tore the air.

...

And not even a second later.
DeCay found that his bullet never even hit Jothan. It had just stopped dead in the air before it had a chance to kill.
"Nice try, Detective... But my Star Platinum is too fast for your 'bullets'."
And, indeed, Star Platinum had caught the shot out of the sky. Before returning it on the table in front of DeCay. In reality though, it was all the Stands work that kept Jojo safe.
He freaked out the moment the detective pulled out his gun... Jothan was playing it cool, despite completely forgetting about his own Stand until then.

"I see..." DeCay said holstering 9mm away, seemingly unphased by the events that just took place, "So this 'Star Platinum' is an invisible force that protects you at all costs...?"
"Yep. That's exactly what I... Wait, did you say 'invisible'?"
"Yes, I do believe so..."
"You mean you can't see him?"

"Does your 'Stand' have a physical form?" He asked, looking slightly confused.
"He is literally floating right next to me...! Right here!" Jothan pointed to Star Platinum, who had his arms crossed as he scowled, "How can you not see him?!"
"Listen kid. Maybe it's just a matter of difference between you and me..."
"Explain."
"What I mean is that maybe... the only reason Star Platinum isn't visible to me is because only you can see him. You are its user, after all."

"I... Guess so." Jothan contemplated his reasoning, bring a hoof to chin in though.
"Well, how about we talk somewhere else. A cafe? Y'know... just get to know each other." DeCay offered, lightening the mood a little.
"You shot me." Jojo replied coldly.
"Dahh, C'mon...! Get over it. You're Stand-thingy stopped my bullet, didn't he?" He said off-handedly.
"You tried to shoot me."
"You lived...! No need to worry about it now, I was just doin' my job. Now let's go, I heard a new diner opened near-by...!"
"You tried to shoot me, completely riding on hunch that could've easily had me dead. All in order to answer a 'question' that you could've just asked me for. And you expect me to have lunch with you?"

"Yes..."DeCay said, rubbing the back of his head and plastering a fake smile.

Jothan let out a long, exhausted and drawn out sigh.
"Pay for lunch... And I just might forgive you." At this point, he just wanted out on this whole situation.
"Deal!"
He quickly trotted out of the interrogation room in order to avoid the tense and very awkward atmosphere...
Forgetting to unlock that chains that held Jothan in place.

Equestria...
So this is where I am...
A place of friendship and magic...
A land overruled by ponies.

How... Strange.
This is a stark contrast to Earth.
But still...
A rightful place to hold my throne...!
