Running Out of Time

"I am sorry for what happened, Pinkie," Sunset says: "We'll be here for you, always."

"Yeah! There's always hope! Believe in science!" Twilight continues, trying to sound as optimistic as possible.

"It's ok, girls! Life is short anyway, so I'll just make the best out of it!" Pinkie answers, with a big smile on her face: "Wow, look at what time it is! Have a class in three minutes. See you all in the cafe after school!" Pinkie dashes off.

"There must be something we can do, right?" Fluttershy breaks the silence.

"Yeah, can't Twilight tell the future or something?" Rainbow adds.

"It's a little different than that. Twilight responds: "I can see different outcomes of a certain event coexisting with one another and take action to achieve a desirable result. For instance: If it rains now, then I can see both a soaking wet me not wearing any protective gear or a dry me with an umbrella. So..."

"Ok, have an umbrella, lesson learned! Can you tell us what's going to happen to Pinkie?" Rainbow interrupts.

"All right," Twilight rolls her eyes: "The point I am trying to get to is: I can usually see various outcomes of one certain event. But with Pinkie, I only see one."

"What is it? Did she make it?" Applejack stands up.

"I am sorry, "Twilight shakes her head: "She won't make it."

"Oh darling, that's nonsense! You must be too tired!" Rarity says: "Think about it! Sunset can exploit bugs in both video games and the real-world! There must a way to al least prolong Pinkie's life until someone finds a cure, right?"

"I..." Sunset looks downwards, avoiding eye-contact: "If it's a cut, then yes, I would be able to buy her couple minutes. But this is too much...I...I am sorry, class in five minutes gotta go." She stands up, grabs her backpack, and left the dining hall with her eyes focused on the floor.

"Maybe, "Fluttershy speaks up: "Maybe we can meet someone with special ability just us! And that person may be able to cure Pinkie." She turns around and looks at Twilight.

"Maybe," Twilight looks down at the floor: "just maybe..."

"It's ok, Twi." Applejack put a hand on Twilight's shoulder: "You've done your best."

"So, there's nothing we can do, huh," Rainbow says, trying not to cry: "Pinkie must've known that. Well, I'd better finish my homework before 6."

"So, y'all are going to the Goo..." Applejack feels a lump in her throat: "Good...bye..."

"Party. Yes, we are all going." Twilight completes Applejack's sentence barely without sobbing: "We are all...going..."

Fluttershy lays on the grass, looking up to the sky. It's 5, an hour away from Pinkie's party. This is the Equestrian Park, where she and Pinkie first met during high school. Memories start to play in her mind like a film: This is where they first met. They used to spend entire afternoons flying kites. Oh, right, frisbee! How can she ever forget about that? That's when Fluttershy first awoke her standability. Although Pinkie never summoned a stand, she clearly possesses one.

"Congrats Fluttershy!" Fluttershy recites what Pinkie said when she discovered her stand: "It's so cool! Your stand is probably quicker than mine!" A shadow looms over Fluttershy as she recites Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie?" Out of surprise, Fluttershy stands up. No, it's not Pinkie.

"Oh, "The figure smiles: "my name is Pinkamane, nice to meet you."

"Are you..." Fluttershy does not know how to respond. This woman looks exactly like Pinkie but taller, older, and more fragile.

"I am Pinkie's old sister. I moved out a long time ago if you wonder." The woman sits down on the grass.

"Oh my!" Fluttershy sits down next to the woman: "Pinkie mentions you all the time! She always says how amazing you are and how she wants to be like you!"

"Is that so," Pinkamane replies: "You are Fluttershy, right. Pinkie talks about you a lot."

"Oh, "Fluttershy doesn't know what to say, so she decides to ask about Pinkie's condition.

"She's not feeling well," an expression of pain crosses Pinkamane's face: "but hay, everything was set out, so why don't you ladies join us today?"

Stunned by how fast Pinkie's condition deteriorates, Fluttershy almost faints.

"Don't worry; she's going to be all right soon." Pinkamane puts a hand over Fluttershy's hand: "Pinkie is suffering a condition that causes her organs to fail one by one. We were told that she has only a year left. But Pinkie had a smile on her face when she received the news, say that life is short and she'd make the best of it."

After a moment of silence, Pinkamane speaks again: "The Pie's family is peculiar in a sense. For every generation, there would be precisely two stand users, both possessed great power and were said to be invincible when working together. However, one would die at thirty, and another die at twenty. Sounds awful, right? Not really, because each user would be born exactly ten years apart from the other so that they may perish side by side."

"Oh, my," Fluttershy is saddened by this tale: "Is it possible to break this curse?"

"I tried, but failed, again and again. And now, I try to spend as much time with families as possible as this is my final year as well." Pinkamane sighs: "I even tried to meet my ancestors by breaking through time and space, but I guess invincibility won't prolong your life. Well, it doesn't matter now. Sorry for bringing up such a happy topic. Let's talk about something else."

Fluttershy's phone rings, reminding her it's 5:30 and that she should be meeting up with friends in Rarity's house.

"Is that a crack on your screen? How awful, did you drop it on concrete?" Pinkamane asks

"Eh, yes, several times," Fluttershy blushes.

"Here," Pinkamane reaches out to Fluttershy's phone: "Let me fix it, it will be good as new." She covers Fluttershy's phone, and the screen fixed when she removes her hand.

"You are coming to the party tonight, right?"

"Yes," Fluttershy answers: "if that's not too much trouble..."

"Then I'll be seeing you soon." Pinkamane smiles as Fluttershy departs to Rarity's house.

A Map to Salvation

"So, what you all think about the party last night?" Rainbow asks after taking a sip of coffee from her cup.

"Y'all sure that Pinkamane isn't just Pinkie Pie with straight hair? Don't know about you all, but I don't feel comfortable around her." Applejack says.

"Well, they do look alike." Twilight says: "But I don't think there's anything wired. When you look closely, she is much taller than Pinkie."

"Yeah, plus we can see her on most of the family photos. No way she's just a Pinkie disguise." Sunset adds.

"I know, but isn't it just wired that she and Pinkie never appear in the same photo?" Applejack asks: "When you look closely, Pinkamane only appears in the older photos and Pinkie only in the new ones. There's not a single photo I saw the two of them together."

"About that, " Rainbow adds: "have any of you ever seen those two together at any given time? Just think about it: she arrived at the house right after we left Pinkie's room, and Pinkie didn't even leave her room until the end, which Pinkamane was, quote and quote, not feeling well!"

"I mean, Pinkie might be sleeping the whole time." Twilight answers: "Plus, you can see the Pie family take turns to check on Pinkie. If this whole thing is just an elaborate joke, then how did Pinkie manage to fool everyone in the house? You know Pinkie can't just still for without making noise unless she's sick."

"I am not trying to say this whole thing is a joke," Applejack says: "but why don't they just get a doctor if Pinkie was that sick?"

"Didn't the doctors sent them home saying something like they need more time to determine what's going on?" Rainbow says.

"Wait," Fluttershy says: "Isn't Pinkie suffering from a serious family condition?"

"Yes, but since there's nothing going, for now, the doctors sent them home." Rainbow answers.

"It just doesn't add up, does it?" Applejack says: "If she weren't suffering anything at school, she definitely was when we met her."

"Applejack, darling, have you ever talked to Pinkamane?" Rarity asks, and Applejack shakes her head: "Oh, that's why. I talked to her, and she said that Pinkie wasn't feeling well that afternoon, so they took her to the doctors. The doctors sent them home and told them to call if something happens."

"I don't know," Applejack says: "This whole story of how Pinkie suddenly gets diagnosed with such a serious disease and was sent home just sounds a little off for me."

"I am pretty sure Pinkie's family is doing their best to take care of her," Twilight says: "don't worry, Applejack, everything is fine."

"Yeah, maybe, I am just..." Applejack buries her head in her arms: "A little out of it."

"This a hard, Applejack, it's okay." Fluttershy puts a hand over Applejack's shoulder: "It's all going to be ok."

"Thank you, sugar cube." Applejack mumbles: "But can't any of us do anything?"

"Maybe I can get more practice and see what I can do?" Sunset shrugs her shoulders: "You know, if I can delay one from getting injured for a couple of minutes, then maybe I can try to delay Pinkie's condition for...I don't know...couple days with some practice?" The crew stays silent, all looking at Sunset.

"No need to push yourself Sunset, " Twilight says: "mastering a stand is hard enough, let alone pushing you boundaries that far. It is practically impossible unless you are confronted with a series of life-threating situations, one next to the other. "

"Hi, I've got an idea," Rainbow finishes her coffee: "You guys know how I can speed up my movements, right? Here's the plan: I hold Pinkie in my arms, and run in circles. And here's the catch: I will run so fast that we will both go back in time."

"Eh..." stunned by this crazy idea, Twilight explains: "Then you need to run faster than the speed of light, which is about 299,792,458 meters per second. Plus, your mass increase as you approach the speed of light. Let's say you really can run that fast; then, your mass will become infinite, and so does the energy required to move that mass."

The whole table quiets down, all staring at Twilight before Applejack finally says something: "Say what now?"

"Long story short," Twilight rolls her eyes: "It's impossible."

"Oh, oh, oh, I have an idea!" Fluttershy waves her hand, drawing everyone's attention: "What about Sunset and Ms. Pinkamane work together?"

Silence falls again before Applejack says something: "Say...WHAT NOW?"

"Here, " Fluttershy takes out her phone and shows it to everyone: "See? The crack is gone, Ms. Pinkamane fixed it for me! Maybe she can't cure disease now, but if Sunset can use her power to manipulate reality somehow, then this can work!"

"Not a bad idea..." Sunset replies, with a hand on her chin: "I mean, I can sometimes teleport and avoid injuries completely, but...um...you know what? Let's do it."

"Alright then," Twilight says, a little worried about her friend's recklessness: "Fluttershy why don't you contact Ms. Pinkamane and tell us what she says?"

"How sweet of you, I am glad Pinkie has friends like you." Pinkamane says: "but I am afraid it will not work."

"WHAT?" Fluttershy shouts, attacking attentions from other tables of this little corner cafe.

"My apologies, sweetheart, but it's impossible to change a stand's ability with another stand. I tried everything possible for the last couple of years: put myself in danger to improve my ability, work with other stand users, none of it works." Pinkamane says as their order is ready.

"Oh," Fluttershy looks down on the floor, eyes empty: "So, there is nothing..."

"There is one thing we can do." Pinkaman says: "If Sunset and I work together, we might be able to go back in time and change everything, and without being erased, of course."

"What?" Fluttershy looks at Pinkamane's face: "Is that possible?"

"Yes, it is. My stand itself can reverse time. Remember how I fixed your screen? I revert it to its' original state. I tried to cure Pinkie and myself, but it will not work. Yes, I can push the whole world back a year, but I would still get that disease no matter what. So here's the plan: if your friend can isolate me from the rest of the world while time is being reversed, I might be able to able go back in time without getting erased. Then, I will be able to stop my ancestors from getting a standability, and therefore break the curse."

Conflict

"That's her plan?" Eyes widen, Twilight cannot believe her ears: "No! Changing the whole timeline can bring unexpected results! I don't approve of this nonsense!"

"We can't just let Pinkie die, right?" Fluttershy argues back: "their ancestors acquired standability from an arrow. All we need to do it to take that arrow away, nice and easy. No need to mass anything up."

"Twilight is right," Sunset says: "I studied all sorts magic in Equestria, and time-traveling spells were mostly forbidden. There's no way of knowing what might happen!"

"But..."

"Sorry, Fluttershy," Sunset cuts her off: "This isn't going to work."

"It's all right," Pinkamane says, with a smiley face: "This is a plan anyways. Just forget about it, I will figure something out."

"Is there nothing I can do?" Fluttershy asks.

"Don't worry about it. I will figure something out."

"Actually," Fluttershy says: "Would you like to meet my friends this weekend? We would be delighted if you can join us in Equestrian Cafe Saturday afternoon."

"Oh, I am flattered." Pinkamane responds: "I am happy to be invited."

"Hi, Flutters." Sunset enters the pet shop: "What makes you call at lunchtime?"

"Oh, hi Sunset" Fluttershy greets: "Sorry for calling you out on Saturday, but I can use some help."

"What can I do for ya?"

"I just want to clean the whole for an upcoming event, could you please wipe the tables while I wipe the floor?" Fluttershy asks politely.

As the two start cleaning, Sunset asks: "Hi, eh, I am really sorry..."

"It's all right," Fluttershy answers while wiping the floor.

"Ok, cool beans." Sunset is relived: "I also invited Twilight, so you two can..."

A shadowy fist strikes Sunset in the back of her neck, knocking her down instantaneously.

"I am really sorry, Sunset," Fluttershy says as Sunset sinks in her own shadow: "but this is for Pinkie's life."

"So sorry for being late!" Twilight rushes into the door: "What the...Fluttershy, what are you..." Perhaps out of nervousness, Twilight's ability activates on its own. Two possibilities emerge in front of her eyes: 1. both Fluttershy and Sunset on the floor. 2. Both sink into shadows. There's no time to hesitate, and Twilight summons her stand and charges directly towards Fluttershy.

"I am really sorry, Twilight," Fluttershy says, as countless shadowy hands emerge from every piece of shadow in the pet shop, striking Twilight simultaneously from every angle.

"Sorry, Twilight," Fluttershy says as she sinks into shadow while some shadowy hands carry now unconscious gently onto the floor: "Rest now, I will take care of everything."

"Ms. Pinkamane," Pinkamane hears Fluttershy's voice from inside of her bag: "What the...Fluttershy?"

"Please do not speak and listen to what I have to say," Fluttershy shows part of her head inside of Pinkamane's bag: "please make your way to the park, I've found a cure."

"All right." Pinkamane answers, zipping her bag. Her plan is working out: Fluttershy is the most generous, and the kindest among them all. If she can convince Fluttershy, then Fluttershy will convince Sunset for sure. However, what Pinkamane doesn't know is how far Fluttershy has gone.

"Sunset..." Twilight wakes up, surprised that she's still able to move. Fluttershy didn't strick with full force. She took out her phone and called Rainbow Dash: "I am in Fluttershy's pet shop, get everyone, and we have to move now."

Destiny

"Ah..." Sunset wakes up: "Fluttershy?"

"I am sorry, Sunset, I..."

"No, it's okay" Sunset cuts her off: "I understand that you are worried about Pinkie's life, but just...ask nicely please."

"Oh, sorry," Fluttershy says as Sunset situp.

"Anyways, is this the park?" Sunset looks around.

"Yes," Fluttershy answers: "and Ms. Pinkamane will be here soon. She's not feeling too well."

"I see, " Sunset says, taking her phone out: "Let me just text...Wow!" Sunset gasps as a shadowy hand cover her phone.

"Sorry, Sunset, but I don't think Twilight would agree," Fluttershy says, sitting down next to Sunset.

"Ah, listen: Pinkie is literally dying of organ failures, I am pretty Twilight would agree with us if we just spend more convincing her." Sunset says, putting a hand over Fluttershy's shoulder: " This is a hard time Flutters, trust me."

"Okay then," Fluttershy signs as the shadowy hand disappears.

"All right," Sunset says: "By the way, is Pinkie here? Because I thought of a better idea, then time traveling, and it would certainly work!"

"Really?" Fluttershy grabs Sunset's hands: "Oh, this is wonderful!"

"Sorry...for...being...late..." A woman's voice accompanied by heavy breathing comes from the woods: "Sorry...huff, huff, oh my, sorry, huff, I just need to..."

What a sickling woman. That's Sunset's first impression: She looks pale, weak, and not long for this life.

"Huff, pardon me," Pinkamane finally stabilizes her breathing: "You are Sunset. Thank you for agreeing to meet in the park!"

"Well," Sunset looks at Fluttershy: "It's fine. Where's Pinkie, anyways?"

"I knocked her out," Fluttershy says, look down on the ground.

"You what?" Pinkamane gives Fluttershy a glare: "That's...I know you are concerned about Pinkie, but..."

"Wow!" Sunset stands up: "It's all good! We all know Flutters is just a little nervous. It's nothing! Is Pinkie here? I am afraid your ability won't activate until my ability wears off."

"What does that mean?" Pinkamane asks.

"Okay, so I can [disconnect] others from reality and their ability won't come into effect until I reconnect them with reality. " Sunset explains: "In your case, time would not reverse while you are disconnected, it that clear?"

"I see," Pinkamane says: "But why don't we just give it a try?"

"Fine," Sunset sighs, reaching her hand out to Pinkamane.

Pinkamane reaches out but suddenly feels a sharp pain on her left shoulder. Someone then strikes her legs, brings Pinkamane to the knees. On the corner of her eye, Pinkamane sees a lady with purple hair in a battle position. With whatever strength she has left, Pinkamane inhales and holds her breath, which brings time into a halt. She stands up as others have no knowledge of the circumstance. A spear-like stand pierces her shoulders. It's Applejack. Pinkamane stands up and quickly walks out of Applejack's range. She turns around, seeing Rarity holding a handful of leaves while Rainbow Dash is getting ready for another strike.

It's a close one. Rarity can bring others to a pocket dimension along with her self and trap her opponent for at least 30 minutes, and Rainbow Dash can enhance others' as well as her own speed. It seems like Rarity would bring both Pinkamane and Rainbow Dash into the pocket dimension while Pinkamane is injured.

Time's up, Pinkamane can no longer hold her breath. Rainbow is brought to Rarity's pocket dimension the moment Pinkamane exhales. Applejack is about 20 meters away, but she can launch herself using stand power. Thereby, Pinkamane summons her stand, ready to counteract any attack upwards. Yet, with her spear-like stand, Applejack pierced Pinkamane's throat instead of launching herself upwards.

What? Pinkamane thinks: but why? Why would Applejack do this to me?

Applejack's stand retreated in seconds before Applejack launching herself to the sky, giving Pinkamane enough time to heal. Like a shooting star, Applejack approaches Pinkamane quickly from the air. Her spear-like stand now turns into a humanoid figure, is ready to attack. The two clashed. Luckily for Applejack, Pinkamane's stand is weakened by her physical condition. When in full health, Pinkamane would have broken Applejack's hand.

"Stop," Fluttershy whispers as Pinkamane, utilizing her ability to stop time, striking Applejack multiple times before throwing her back to the forest.

"I said stop..."

"Pinkamane!" Twilight shouts, now making her way out of the forest, carrying Applejack on her back: "I will not allow you to mass with the time continuum! Horrible creatures would rule our world if your ancestors never got that arrow!"

"I SAID, STOP!" Fluttershy screams as her stand gets out of control, dragging everyone around into shadows and teleport them into different locations.

Twilight opens her eyes, finding herself covered by a blanket and laying on an old sofa.

"Are you awake?" asks.

"Maud!" Twilight sits up: "What happened."

"You passed out in front of our house."

"Really..." Twilight answers, trying to recall what happened.

"Here," Maud hands Twilight, a very old glass bottle with a letter concealed in it.

"Um, thank you?" Twilight says awkwardly: "What's in it?"

"Two hundred years ago, a mysterious woman died at Rag Pie's doorstep. Before dying, the woman gave Rag an arrow and this bottle, asking him to touch the arrow and give this bottle to a woman called Twilight Sparkle." Maud says as Twilight sits there in shock.

"1800's? Twilight Sparkle? Who is Rag Pie?" Twilight shouts uncontrollably.

"Rag Pie is my ancestor, and the arrow gives him, and his wife stand powers," Maud says.

"What? No, I...Ah, fine," Twilight sighs: "Where's the arrow?"

"Stalactite Pie sold it to a man named George Joestar in 1867, and aunt Malachite Pie took it from a man named Dio a couple of years ago," Maud explains.

"What the...ok, just tell me about the mysterious woman and where is Pinkie," Twilight says, pressing her fingers against her temple.

"We don't know who she is, but she was badly wounded." Maud says: " She has purple hair and purple skin, wearing glasses. She dragged herself across the snow with hands and knocked on Rag Pie's doors. Unfortunately, she died from bleeding." Maud answers: "and what do you mean by Pinkie?"

"Pinkie Pie? Your younger sister?" Twilight says: "Not Pinkamane, Pinkie."

"I don't understand, "Maud says: "Only aunt Malachite called Pinkamane Pinkie, how do you know?"

"What? Pinkie Pie!" Twilight shouts, pointing at a family hanging on the wall: "Pinkie Pie Right there! The one with pink curly hair!"

"What?" Maud asks.

"Ahhh!" Out of frustration, Twilight gets up from the sofa, snatch the photo from the wall, and shows it to Maud: "Her! Right here!"

"Are you okay?" Maud asks: "Do you need to lay down? There's no one with pink hair."

"What?" Twilight looks at the picture: "No, but how?" Out of shock, she drops the picture on the ground.

"Hi," Maud says: "be careful, don't break it."

"No," ignoring Maud's words, Twilight starts to examine other pictures. Much to her horror, Pinkie is gone from all of them.

"Be careful, will you?" Maud says: "Stop throwing them around."

"Sorry," Twilight apologies: "but where is Pinkamane?"

"Don't know," Maud answers: "Can you put those photos back to where are?

"Yes, of course," Twilight says: "I was just a little disoriented. Just by the way, what would happen if a stand user uses the arrow?"

"Their power would be amplified," Maud says.

"Where is it, then?"

"Only Pinkie knows."

Malachite Pie

Malachite Pie is the sister of Igneous Rock Pie and aunt of the Pie sisters. Ages ago, before the Pie family move out of the Rock Farm, Malachite fought a man, claiming to be the strongest stand user, named Dio. That event almost killed Cloudy Quartz and destroyed the farm. After the event, the Pie family moved out, and Malachite kept the arrow before passing it to Pinkamane. In December 1987, Dio Brando, sensing a stand user, visited the Rock Farm. He first ran into Cloudy Quartz at 5 a.m. out of hunger, Dio decided to suck Cloudy's blood. Fortunately, Malachite arrived at the scene early enough to prevent a tragedy. Two started a conversation. Failed to recruit Malachite as one of his minions, Dio attacked. Malachite, aged 20, was at the peak of her power. Their battle lasted for thirty minutes with Malachite came on top. Having one side of his head damaged beyond repair, Dio gave Malachite a stand arrow and promised to leave her family alone. After this event, Dio was humbled and decided to strengthen his power further. Malachite would tell this event as a story to Pinkamane and Maud. Ten years later, at her death bed, Malachite entrusted the arrow to Pinkamane. Nineteen years later, suffering the same condition as her aunt, Pinkamane used the arrow on herself. A new stand born. Soon, the stand gave birth to a new persona: Pinkie Pie. Surprisingly, Pinkamane would not suffer any disease as long as Pinkie's personality is in charge. The stand arrow was buried in a secret place by Pinkamane before her real personality was laid to rest. Four years later, Pinkie started to suffer the same condition. Having no hope of surviving, Pinkamane decided to travel back in time so her ancestors wouldn't become stand users. Twilight Sparkle, however, knowing the grave consequence of mass up the time continuum, is determined to stop Pinkamane.

"Oh?" Dio refrains from killing Cloudy as he hears footsteps behind him: "A stand user?"

"Let go of Cloudy," Malachite says with an angry tone: "Don't make me destroy you."

"Ho Ho, you dare to provoke me?" Dio taunts Malachite as he throws Cloudy aside: "I can spare your pathetic life if you join me."

"Pathetic?" Malachite gnashes her teeth as her stand manifests: "You blood-sucking vampire dare to call me pathetic?"

"I am impressed," Dio says with a grin on his face: "You are stronger than I thought, but I am stronger," Dio says as he summons [The World].

"Word of advice," Malachite says: "If you leave now, I can spare your life."

Dio did not reply. Instead, he stopped time and lands a punch on Malachite's face: "Don't worry, I am just trying to test the extent of my power. You won't perish for this."

As time began to flow again, Malachite flew backward and landed on a tree. What? Dio thought: I did not hit her hard, let alone send her flying. Is this her stand power?

"That's all you got?" Malachite stands up: "I am disappointed."

"Say, you are not one of those average stand users, are you?" Dio says: "My stand [The World] is the strongest of all stands. If you join me..."

"You are annoying," Malachite interprets: "Are you going to fight or not? I am sleepy."

"You dare mock me?" Dio says as he stops time and lands several punches all over Malachite's body, which send her flying back even further and eventually crashing into her bedroom.

"This should do it," Dio says as he turns around: "How disappointing, but I am simply too strong."

"Is that it? " Malachite stands up unbruised: "You've ruined my bedroom."

"You..." Dio turns around, greeted by Malachite's stand. Dio blocks her stands' attack with his stand: "Useless, useless, useless!" He shouts as [The World] throws several punches at [Walk Me to the Moon]. Malachite neutralizes Dio's attack by making the same move.

"What incredible speed! But [The World] is stronger!" Dio says as he finishes by landing a hefty punch, joined by [The World], on [Walk Me to the Moon]'s arm, forcing Malachite's stand back. Much to his surprise, Malachite does not show any expressions of pain. Instead, she quickly regroups herself for the next waves of attack.

The stand arrow in his pocket vibrates as Malachite approach. So she is the stand user. Dio thinks: If I convince her to join me, the elimination of the Joestars would be ensured.

Time stops as Malachite gets close enough. Dio inspected the lady in front of him and put her lying on the ground before unleashing more and heavier punches on her.

"All your efforts are useless!" Dio screams as rains of fists lands on Malachite. As times start flowing again, Malachite is greeted by countless fists landing on her and her stand. She lies on the ground as Dio attacks relentlessly, waiting for her change. Finally, her chance arrives.

"What..." Dio stops attacking as he feels a dull pain on his chest: [Walk Me to the Moon] punched though [The World], leaving a hole on [The World] and Dio's body. Surprised, Dio ceased attack immediately and jumps backward.

"What?' Malachite taunts as she stands up: "I thought vampires couldn't feel pain."

"You..." Dio says in agony as his wound heals: "Your power increases exponentially...I get, your stand can absorb attacks from other stands and turns into its strength, right?"

"Why would I tell you?" Malachite says as she dashes towards Dio with enhanced speed and power.

"Futile!" Dio shouts as he pulls out a dead tree and swings it at Malachite and sent her flying like a baseball. Dio breathes heavily as Malachite lands on another tree bounces back like a rubber ball. [The World] tries to block [Walk Me to the Moon]'s attack with its' arms, resulting in a pair of broken arms for Dio.

"You mortal!" Dio screams as he hits the ground: "[The World!] I need more time!" The time comes to a halt, freezing Malachite five inches before clashing with Dio.

"You are mere mortal," Dio says as he runs away: "You will die of exhaustion as I prevail! [The World]! Give me more time!" Dio shouts as he reaches his limit of time stop (1 second). A stand is the physical representation of its master, Dio's will of stopping time for longer drives [The World] to its' limit. Two seconds passed, Dio is now further away from Malachite as time starts to flow.

"Now, take this!" Dio stops time again as Malachite gets even closer. With his arms heals, Dio picked up everything he finds on the ground, including a rusty ax and rocks and throw them at Malachite. When time starts to flow again, Malachite used her stand to defend against the flying objects around her.

"[The World]! The time comes to a halt!" The world turns grey as everything freezes. Dio then makes his way to Malachite as soon as possible. With the joint strength of himself and [The World], he lands a heavy directly on Malachite's head, causing her skull to bend inward.

"Not enough! [The World]! More time! Dio shouts as he breaks Malachite's spine with a strike of the elbow before land several more punches and retreat.

"Four...five second..." Times start to flow again, and Malachite is sent flying again, but this time without standing up.

“Ha, haha, hahaha!" Dio laughs hysterically as he approaches Malachite's presumed dead body.

"You mortal! This is the result of opposing the mighty Dio!" He stands next to Malachite's body: "Now, I shall destroy your family to commemorate my victory!"

Malachite stands the moment Dio turns his head around, summons her stand, and unleashes the power she accumulated from Dio's attack in one punch.

"Ah!" Dio screams as [Walk Me to the Moon]'s fist buries in his head, destroying the right side of his brain and temporarily paralyzes the left side of his body.

"So, let me get this clear," Malachite says as Dio struggles to stand up: "You want to get rid of my family just because I refused to join you?"

"You mortal...how dare you..." Dio tries to heal his wound but failed.

"I heard vampires would perish under sunlight; let's test it out," Malachite says as she picks up Dio and impales him on a giant tree.

"I yield! I yield!" Dio screams as the tree penetrates his immortal body: "Spare me! Let me go!" Dio tries to summon his stand but failed.

"I can't trust you." Malachite says coldly: "You almost killed my sister-in-law and claims to slaughter my family.

"Please!" Dio begged, handing Malachite a stand arrow: "Take it! It would give other people stands! I swear to leave your family alone!'

"Not bad," Malachite takes the arrow: "Not bad, but I will have to watch over you until day breaks," Malachite says, taking Dio off from the tree. Dio tries to heal, but the left side of his body is still paralyzed.

"There's a cave one mile to the west, now make your way" Malachite points to the west: "now go before sun rises, you have about two hours."

Two Can't Keep a Secret

"So, did Applejack reply?" Sunset asks while driving: "I was surprised to see Fluttershy's stand act up like that. I woke up in Fluttershy's petshop, you woke up in Pinkie's house, wow! Are you even listening?"

"What?" Twilight looks away from the letter she got from Maud: "Yeah, no, sorry. Its just...the the content of this letter is a little weird."

"Okay," Sunset says: "just saying. What's the letter about anyways?"

"Well, apparently, I am the author of this letter," Twilight puts the letter back into the glass bottle: "according to this letter, "I" was sent back time, and...oh, sorry."

Twilight apologizes before answering Rainbow Dash's call: "Hi Rainbow?"

"Where are you guys now? We have been stuck in the park for the past...forty minutes!" Rainbow shouts.

"We are on our way!" Sunset shouts back.

"Don't worry, darling!" Rarity shouts in the background: "We spent thirty minutes in the wonderland and only ten minutes in the park!"

"Rarity!" Rainbow shouts: "why did you tell her that? Now it's going to take her longer to get here!"

"Well, it's the truth! Besides," Rarity says: "Why is it going to take Sunset longer to get here?"

"Because..."

"Bye, love you guys, be there in a sec," Sunset takes the phone and hangs up before an argument starts.

"As I was saying," Twilight says as Sunset returns the phone: "I was supposedly sent back time and delivered the stand arrow to Pinkie's ancestors. In other words, Pinkamane was successful in enhancing her ability but failed to stop us."

"Us?" Sunset asks: "So you aren't the only one there are you?"

"Well," Twilight says reluctantly: "you were there."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but you better not know what happened, " Twilight says as she tosses the bottle to the back seat.

"Ok," Sunset says with a suspecting tone: "So, what's with your stand? I know messing up with the time continuum is bad, but what did you see exactly? I thought your stand could only see immediate results for certain events."

"I saw vampire-like creatures ruling the earth," Twilight says while taking her glasses off: "It doesn't make sense I know, but I did see vampire-like creatures turn humans into vampires before devouring them."

"What?" Sunset asks.

"I don't know, but it seems like the stand arrow triggered a series of events led to the defeat of those creatures," Twilight says as she presses against her temples: "I don't know what happened exactly, but we have to deliver the stand arrow to the Pie family."

"Two hundred years ago?" Sunset asks sarcastically: "they better have something special for the tip."

"Listen," Twilight puts her glasses back on: "according to the letter, only a few of us can make it out alive."

"Oh! I know!" Sunset says: "we just leave Pinkamane be, and she would eventually learn it's impossible to travel back time without effecting herself! What a wonderful plan! No one would get hurt that way!"

"That doesn't include us, Sunset," Twilight says, looking at Sunset in the eyes: "We won't make it out alive."

"Wow!" Seeing how serious Twilight is, Sunset tries to make a joke out of this gloomy prediction: "That's, um, that prediction is truly something to, to..."

"Sunset..." Twilight says: "It's an honor to have you as a friend."

"Thank you," Sunset answers awkwardly, not knowing how to respond: "It has been...nice knowing you."

"Oh my, see what we have here." Fluttershy says: "Ms. Pinkamane, please go get the stand arrow while I buy you some time."

"Fluttershy, you've got to stop!" Applejack shouts: "messing up the time continuum can lead to catastrophic events and..."

"How do you know? Because Twilight told you so?" Fluttershy asks: "Are you going to tell me the Twilight never once made a mistake?"

"Y'all won't listen, huh?" Applejack says, summoning her stand.

"My my, are you here for my life?" Pinkamane asks: "You don't need to hurry. I've only got two months left. To be honest, I can't even summon my stand in its' complete form. Yet, if you want to duel, I would gladly accept your offer."

"Gladly?" Applejack smirks: "I almost had you last time. Still, want a taste of defeat? Just by the way, what's your stand's name?"

"Doesn't have a name," Pinkamane replies: "What about...Two Can't Keep a Secret?"

"That's lame," Applejack says as her stand turns into a spear.

"Fluttershy, watch my back while we fight." Pinkamane says as part of her stand manifests: "This will be quick."

Much to Applejack's surprise, Pinkamane perfectly dodged every single attack unleashed by her stand while charging towards her. Pinkamane moves so swiftly, almost as if she can see into the future while dodging attacks.

"What the..." in mere seconds, Pinkamane made her ways near Applejack. Shocked, Applejack is forced to pull her stand back, forming a shield protecting herself.

"How fascinating," Pinkamane says the shield cracks from [Two Can't Keep a Secret]'s attack: "So your stand possesses three different types of ability, right? However, in order to switch ability, you must disassemble one form of your stand either wholly or partially, right? Let me guess; your next move is to disassemble part of the shield and quickly turn it into a fist and punch me in the face, right?"

"Shut up!" Applejack shouts, ,as part of her shield start to disappear. Yes, that was her plan, but how did Pinkamane know? More importantly, what's with the boost of strength? Last time they fight, their stands were equal in strength. But now, Pinkamane's stand is clearly the stronger one. It's bad, really bad. With this level of strength and her unknown ability, the loser of this fight would certainly be Applejack.

"What's the matter?" Applejack asks while trying to hold her shield together: "Why did you stop? With that level of strength, you can easily finish me off with just a few more punches."

"I suppose this is a stalemate," Pinkamane asks as her stand disappears: "Fluttershy, let's go." She turns around, leaving Applejack alone.

"I am asking you a question!" Applejack's shield dissolves completely. Part of becomes a spear, launching her towards Pinkamane at high speed, a,nd other parts become a humanoid figure, ready to attack at any moment. With a sound of skull-cracking, Applejack was sent flying and lands in a pile of pine needles.

"Humans sure are peculiar," Pinkamane says: "I would have spared her if she stayed still."

"That was harsh," Fluttershy says: "how bad is the injury?"

"Maybe some memory loss, but she will be ok. I returned her skull to its' normal state before she flies off." Pinkamane shugs her shoulder: "but that was disappointingly easy, I didn't even need to turn around. Anyways, we need to go now. I can sense it, the stand arow. With it, Pinkie's life, my life, will be safe."

Applejack's Tale

That was a close one, Applejack thought. Seems like Pinkamane is running out of time, she did not even check whether Applejack is faking it or not. With decades of experience, Applejack could manuplate her stand to such a degree that her enemies won't notice when her stand transformed. The cracking sound Pinkamane heard was the sound of (Applejack's) standing (shield form) cracking. It hurts, just a little. She stood up, left a message for Twilight, and proceeds to follow Pinkamane and Fluttershy.

Members of the Apple family was gifted with stand abilities since they are born. All members, are powerful stand users. Unfortunately, when an Apple marry another powerful stand user, their stand would lose control and eventually take their own life. Applejack's father, ignoring Granny Smith's warning, married Applejack's mother. Years later, both of them fall victim to their own stands. Just weeks before his son's marriage, Granny Smith reached out to the Pie sisters for help. The sisters, Malachite and Olivine Pie, turned her down, knowing what would happen to Bright Mac. Both sisters were weak due to the Pie family's curse and decided to to stay out of the Apple family's curse. Soon, the Pie sisters passed away, and the stand arrow was passed to Pinkamane. As she grew up, Pinkamane, Big Mac and Applejack became friends with each other. Weeks before Bright Mac and Pear Butter pass away, Big Mac begged Pinkamane for help, however, Pinkamane followed Malachite's last words and never let the stand arrow used by members of non-Pie. After this event, Big cut ties with Pinkamane. Applejack, who overheard Big Mac and Pinkamane, was devastated. She blamed Big Mac for falling to connivance Pinkamane, blamed Pinkamane for being so cold, more importantly, she blamed herself, for not being able to do anything. That day, the young Applejack awaken her stand. At the same, she fought with Pinkamane as a stand user. Applejack won as Pinkamane just stood there and take all the damage that was inflicted on her. Years passed, Pinkamane disappeared as Applejack went to high school. There, Applejack met Pinkie Pie. At the moment they met, Applejack's memories about Pinkamane were erased.

"Applejack, you fool!" Applejack whispers as tear run down her face: "You are a fool! She let the Apple's curse run wild, but now she's running away from her own curse? This is not happening, I would not let it happen!"
