Unexpected Ambush of Flashing and Darkness

The school bell rang and the students came out of their classroom to get to their next final period of the day, including Shadow as he makes his way through the busy hallway while his mind is on that Friendship Games tryout Photo Finish mentioned.

"(I've never been into sports much except for martial arts and sumo, but hearing how these Crystal Prep students are being bitches makes my blood boiled.)" Shadow thought.

Shadow remembers the times when there were idiots who didn't know better or were spoiled too much by their dumb parents when it came to mocking and hurting others, so he did what he always does and gave them a beating to learned their lessons.

Just thinking about those Crystal Prep students feels like they are asking for some punishment from the crimson fist of his Star Crimson right now.

"Alright, maybe I should go for it." Shadow said.

"DOJO?!" Two girls shouted.

Shadow turn his head to see both Violet and Pixel running up to him and stop almost out of breath like they have just run through a marathon of two.

"Let me guess, Photo Finish want some more pictures of me like without my hat?" Shadow asked, wondering if that girl has enough photos to take in one day.

"You tell… us." Violet said trying to steady herself.

"We haven't seen… Photo Finish at… all lately." Pixel said leaning on the locker next to Shadow.

"What do you mean? Aren't you two always with her to take photos of anything that catches her attention?" Shadow puzzled of this strange news.

"Mostly, but moments ago after our run-in with you, we spotted Sunshine Smiles doing some photos with her while she was holding a smiling sticker." Pixel started explaining.

"And then she mentioned her twin sister, Moonlight Raven, had some photos she ask to hold onto and that intrigued Photo Finish to go see her after next period at the soccer field." Violet added.

"And that was the last we saw of her." Violet and Pixel finished at the same time.

"So, you're saying Photo Finish hadn't come back since?" Shadow asked and the two nodded.

"We were hoping you have seen you around." Violet said.

"Sorry to burst your bubbles, but I have not seen any sight of the camerawoman since then and I would've caught her hiding too." Shadow stated making the two assistances sad.

This was starting to feel weird for Shadow even though he hasn't known that girl for very long only knowing her by the reputation in this school, and seeing her from time to time just to take some photos of her. Not to mention bringing those two along as her closest and best friends.

He starts getting a bad feeling from his star birthmark that something might've happened to Photo Finish.

"Yare yare daze, this is going to be a pain of a search." Shadow sighed.

"You mean you'll help us?" Pixel asked.

"Yeah, I'll try to find her before the final period ends." Shadow walked away heading to the first place of where Photo Finish was said to go.

(Soccer Field)

Shadow walks onto the soccer field looking around to see if he can find any kinds of clues that can at least tell him that Photo Finish was here along with this other girl those two mentioned, Moonlight Raven.

"Now that I think about it, Moonlight Raven does sound like a cool name." Shadow commented.

But then Shadow stop when he noticed something odd as he looks down at the grass.

"Hmm, the grass seems to be… a little taller for some reason along with an odd smell." Shadow sniffed the air with his nose.

Shadow brought out Star Crimson to get a better sniff in the air now feeling it more through the nose of his Stand, a smell he recognize all too well.

"That smells like blood." Shadow said and his eyes narrowed at one spot.

Shadow slowly walks over to the spot where the smell of blood is coming from being cautious just in case of an enemy Stand trap, then kneels down with Star Crimson using its enhanced vision to look closer at the grass and saw something on little blades with others on top.

"It looks like there are grass on top of the other ones, almost like they're hiding something they don't want anyone to see." Shadow said thinking this is strangely bizarre for some blades of grass.

Shadow slowly move his hand toward the grass with the hand of his Stand to move the grass away, and he found the bloodstain on the grass.

"So, blood was spilled here but what cause the blood to be spilled in the first place?" Shadow asked.

That's when the nose of Star Crimson started to pick up more on the hidden blood trail as they appear to be leading to the back of the school, where the shadow of the school is the darkest as he glares at the area.

"Something tells me that's where I'll find Photo Finish and that Moonlight Raven girl." Shadow said to himself.

Shadow starts walking toward the shadow area readying himself for any kinds of trap that could happen with Star Crimson right by his side, he was going to beat the living shit out of anyone who hurts those girls.

But the moment he step into the shadow, he felt his foot being stuck on the ground for some reason like glued or magnet even though he's not wearing any metal under his shoes, and then he started to move without him actually move his feet like he's being dragged away.

"What the fuck? Something got my shoes?" Shadow shocked as he tries to move his feet.

Shadow got slammed onto the wall and moves forwards again when he spotted something in a dozen feet away and appears to be holding, a camera.

"What the…?" Shadow confused.

But that's when the dangerous bizarre thing starts to happen when the button of the camera was pressed and the flash happen twice, and then Shadow suddenly felt his face being punched in the face as the same thing happened to Star Crimson as they were force to lean backward a bit.

"(What jus happened? I somehow got hit when the flash hit me!)" Shadow thought confused.

Suddenly something long and sharp emerges from the ground angle right for the young Joestar's stomach as he is getting closer and closer, but he wouldn't let this be the end of him.

"Like I'm going to let you punch a hole in me when I can punch you!" Shadow angered and Star Crimson appeared in front of him throwing an uppercut to the sharp dark thing.

"OZAZAZAZAZAZAZAAAA!" Star Crimson unleashed a flurry of punches and send it away.

"Now to get myself free from this trap!" Shadow got his Stand to strike at the ground making a few small craters.

Shadow felt his feet agree and jumps away from the spot back into the light side.

"It would seem that you are quite the powerful Stand User as they say, Shadow Joestar." A familiar voice commented.

"Photo Finish, is that you?" Shadow asked upon recognizing that voice.

"Yes, it is I! Photo Finish have come to "finish" your life and send you to Hell!" Photo Finish revealed herself.

"Along with a dark companion who also shares the same goal. Behold, Moonlight Raven!" Photo Finish gestured to her right in a dramatic way.

"Yeah, nice to meet you… not." Moonlight's voice said echoing from the shadow which surprises Shadow.

Moonlight Raven revealed herself by literally raising up from the darkness of the shadow and right next to Photo Finish.

"(So, that's Moonlight Raven. She looks dark yet has a light in her heart, my kind of girl if I wasn't already in a relationship with the Dazzlings.)" Shadow thought commented.

"Ew, you were staring at my boobs just now." Moonlight glared at Shadow.

"What? No, I'm more focused on what you two just did a few moments ago!" Shadow stated.

"That will be the last thing you will ever think of before death claims your soul!" Photo Finish smirked and snapped another picture at Shadow.

But Star Crimson got in front of its User before the button on the camera can be fully press and the mysterious flash attack happened again, this time Shadow's Stand was able to take the attack using its arms for defense.

"That flashing attack again, it happened when she uses her camera." Shadow noticed, and then his eyes widen of shock.

"Don't tell me… You're a Stand User!" Shadow realized.

"That is correct! Moments ago, I have been reborn as a Stand User, a chosen one of the world to destroy all those who would stand in the way of my new Master!" Photo Finish screamed.

"Same with me, but I don't try making it a big deal like her." Moonlight Raven said rolling her eyes.

"But I will admit, your Stand look quite powerful and hunky like the User." Moonlight Raven commented which surprises Shadow a bit.

"You know I always carried a camera wherever I go, now I have gotten a new camera with the name… Flashpoint Strike!" Photo Finish revealed the camera in her hand is actually her Stand with a few features like the lens being the same color as her shades and a black dagger pupil, and a white ponytail with a raspberry color ribbon.

"Guess I'll show you my Stand, just don't let Raven Darkness scare you too much before you die." Moonlight called forth her Stand.

Raven Darkness is a humanoid Stand-type with pure jet-black skin and four blood red eyes, no mouth, and a golden gemstone on its forehead outlined in dark blue. The Stand wears a hooded navy-blue cloak, matching ruffled ankle-boots with grayish-black soles, and a long-sleeve dark navy-blue legless leotard with regular navy-blue cuffs. Her cloak is decorated with a round, crimson jewel (similar to a brooch), which helps keep the cloak shut. It also has a thin, gold belt with decorated with several of the same type of jewel. Breasts sizes same as the user.

"Two new Stand Users on the same day, not how I thought it would go." Shadow surprirsed a little.

"Then prepare to be more surprise for when we sent you to Hell… in a Flash!" Photo Finish aimed her camera at Shadow.

(Music: Black Sheep, Sonata Arctica)

Shadow quickly got his Stand in a defense stance blocking the flash punches as he can feel through Star Crimson that the strikes are strong, and then he felt his feet being stuck on the ground again like before only this time he got Star Crimson to attack the ground quicker and jumps away.

"Yeah, that's not going to work much." Moonlight said as Raven Darkness wave its arms.

Then some strikes started to appear from the wall and the ground going for Shadow as he was able to dodge a few of them and have Stat Crimson strike the others away.

"(Shit, I'm about to hit the ground again!)" Shadow thought shocked.

Star Crimson grabs onto Shadow's body and threw him toward the fence as he manages to get his hands and feet onto the fence.

"Don't think you can escape from me that easily." Moonlight said as she raises a hand.

On instinct, Shadow jumps high and away from the fence with a little boost from his Stand.

"I got you now!" Photo Finish aimed her Stand at Shadow and start taking some pictures with the flash going on fast.

Shadow felt the flashing attacks hitting him on the body before he starts falling back down though he noticed that attack just felt a little weaker than before, but he quickly saw that a giant shadow hand is about to slam him onto the wall.

"OZAZAZAZAZAZAZA!" Star Crimson attacked giant shadow hand and punch through leaving a big hole for Shadow to go through.

"Nice try." Moonlight Raven grinned.

Four tentacles appeared out from the hole and latches around onto his wrists and ankles pulling him onto the giant Shadow hand, and then slams him down to the ground but he was able to take less damage with Star Crimson protecting him from the front.

"My Stand has the power control the very shadows themselves, making them bend to my will into whatever I want and I can even become one with them as you saw earlier when I raise from up from the ground." Moonlight explained as she wave her hand down.

Then the shadow sinks down with flipping Shadow over having him trapped with his back against the ground.

"Got him, now you finish him off." Moonlight said to the photographer girl.

"It shall be my finest shot!" Photo Finish declared.

"Photo Finish, why the fuck are you even doing this? You're never the type of woman who would hurt others, you only want to show the inner beauty of everything around us with your pictures." Shadow stated strongly.

"Perhaps, but now I have been inspire the new beauty I am thriving to see… and that is the death of a Joestar!" Photo Finish smirked.

"And what about your friends, Pixel and Violet? Are you really going to betray the friendship you had with them for blood, the love of taking pretty pictures?" Shadow asked.

"Friends?" Photo Finish gasped softly, but then felt a little pain from the neck.

"Who needs friends when I have a master to serve!" Photo Finish proclaimed, but Shadow can tell that something is wrong with her because the words she said don't have any true feelings behind them.

"And what about you? I know we just met, but I can tell you'd never harm anyone even when they make you angry." Shadow said to Moonlight Raven.

"Yeah, such a stupid restraint on myself until now. Those stupid things won't matter to me anymore once I'm through with you and meet the new boss." Moonlight shrugged.

"I may not know the full strength of my Stand just yet, but I can definitely destroy you now that I'm this close to you." Photo Finish aimed her lens at him as she towers over the young Joestar.

Shadow gritted his teeth seeing that he is completely trapped and is about to get a beating from a weird looking camera that is Photo Finish's Stand.

But then he felt something in his closed right hand which gave him an idea.

(With the Dazzlings)

Sonata looks around seeing that it's the last period of the school day and there is still no sign of Shadow anywhere.

"Hey, do you think something bad is happening to Shadow?" Sonata asked Aria.

"What makes you say that?" Aria asked back.

"He hasn't shown up for class, and he hasn't responded to my text either." Sonata explained as she looks at her phone.

"This is our Dojo we're talking about, I'm sure he can handle whatever is going on right now." Aria believed, but she couldn't stop this worried feeling in her heart.

Adagio felt the same as Sonata and Aria are, feeling like something is happening to Shadow right now and has this fear that he might not be able to come back to us in one piece.

"Hey Sunset, do you mind saving us some notes on today's homework? We're gonna look for Shadow." Adagio whispered to Sunset before she and her sisters leave the classroom.

"Wait, what?" Sunset surprised that the Dazzlings are suddenly leaving right in the middle of class.

(Back with Shadow vs Photo Finish and Moonlight Raven)

Shadow struggles to break free from the shadow binding but proven to be too strong for him to even squeeze his hand lose.

"Fair well, Dojo." Photo Finish grinned, yet her fingers hesitate to press the button of Flashpoint Strike.

That's when Shadow sought the opportunity to strike back at the arm of Star Crimson comes out and flick one pebble that hits hard on the length of the telephoto that causes Flashpoint Strike to move away and points right at Moonlight and Raven Darkness instead.

Star Crimson goes up pressing the button causing the camera Stand to use its ability to attack Moonlight and the light from the flash causes her Stand to react in pain as it backs away.

The bind holding Shadow is weaken and breaks himself free and jumps away into the sunlight.

"Looks like I got it, now it's time to school you girls about being a Stand battle." Shadow smirked.
