Life as a Sonic OC Redux

*Ichigo's POV*

I was in yet another meeting with the Harmony Guard.

Twilight asks "Okay, has anyone come up with a plan to stop Yoshikage?"

Indigo spoke "I got nothing since he's too clever. Even my danger sense didn't detect anything."

Nightmare Danyelle spoke "Even with what info I got from my visions, I don't think tagging him with magic is a good idea."

Fluttershy asks "Should we get High Goddess Faust involved?"

Orion spoke "We can't get the other universes involved in this mess since we don't know if they have Stands or not."

Zoey spoke "I've already spoke to my OC-verse counterpart, she shad that some of the folks have Stands."

Sonic spoke "My Warrior-verse counterpart said that the closest thing to Stands are Personas... But that might not help us out."

Twilight spoke "The MegaMewverse folks don't have anything of the sort."

Rainbow spoke "Guys, come on. We don’t know when what’s gonna happen. We can’t tire ourselves out over that."

I spoke "You don't understand Rainbow, neither Danyelle or I can risk bringing kids into a world wracked by war. You saw how paranoid that one Mew was."

Twilight spoke "She's got a point Rainbow, think about the kids for once! We can't get them involved in the war, not yet though."

Pinkie spoke "But we can't just go nutso about what could happen."

I was about to respond before my phone went off as I looked, revealing Josuke that was calling.

I spoke "Excuse me for a moment."

I left the meeting so I could take the call.

I ask "What's up Josuke?"

Josuke spoke "*On the phone with a yawn* Okuyasu and I are gonna head to school through a sunflower field. We still gotta hold up our cover at least until the rest of the high-schoolers graduate."

I spoke "I'm also keeping a low profile until the Grade 12 students are done school. And please, watch out for that Yoshikage jerk. He could be planning his next move soon."

Josuke spoke "*On the phone* I know, which is why we can only wait for that douchebag to make his next move before we can try looking again. Midnight said that it won't be long before he can't hold in his killer instincts."

I spoke "Plus I've been hearing rumors about an aggressive male lion.... If you cross paths with him, do not fight him."

Josuke spoke "*On the phone* Come on, this white lion might not exist at all if there are only rumors."

I spoke "I would have to ask Simba about it though."

Josuke spoke "*On the phone* If you say so. Talk to ya soon."

I giggle "Love you Josuke."

Josuke spoke "*Chuckles on the phone* Back at you."

I ended the call as I thought about maybe sending someone to keep an eye on Josuke in case anything happens.

A male Mew that looked a lot like Simba pops up suddenly, startling me.

“What the?!” I gasped as Zoey was the only one not surprised.

Zoey spoke "Wow, I wasn’t expecting you to show up… Mufasa."

Wait, Mufasa? THE Mufasa?!

Simba and Nala immediately show up with their kids.

Simba asks "After all this time, where were you?"

Sarabi suddenly showed up as well, glad that Mufasa was still alive.

Nightmare Danyelle asks "Mufasa, do you know anything about a lion named Kiros?"

Mufasa spoke "I thought I would never hear that name again."

Nightmare Danyelle spoke "He's still out there... Planning to attack... I have to contact Menhit, Apollyon, Vash and V'Kai. They might be in danger... And Sonic, I hate to say this but I have to contact Bartleby as well."

Mufasa spoke "But he should be dead."

Nightmare Danyelle spoke "But if Titan Havik brought him back to life... That could be a huge problem for the ponies..."

*Garnet's POV*

I was floating in the sky, watching Josuke and Okuyasu as the direwolf yawned.

Josuke spoke "I stayed up way too late. I'm exhausted."

Okuyasu spoke "Man, that sucks for you. I slept like a rock, so I'm feeling as fit as a fiddle. *Gasp!* Check it out, Josuke."

Josuke asks "Hmm?"

I looked ahead, seeing a pair of binoculars on the ground.

Okuyasu spoke "Some random binoculars. Somebody must have left them behind."

Josuke spoke "Wow, it doesn't take much to pique your interest, does it, buddy? Don't pick them up. That's gross."

Okuyasu asks "What? You think?"

A voice snaps "I can assure you I am not gross!"

The binoculars started floating, spooking Okuyasu, Josuke and me out before they morphed, revealing to be Mikitaka.

Mikitaka spoke "Hello, Josuke and Okuyasu."

I couldn't help but sigh in relief.

I spoke "Hey Josuke."

Josuke asks "*Looks up behind him* Huh? Danyelle? No, wait, Garnet?"

I spoke "My original name is Danyelle but to prevent confusion with the nekomata, I took on the name of Garnet."

Josuke spoke "Oh, makes sense. *Turns towards Mikitaka* But whew, it’s you again! Don’t scare us like that, Mikitaka."

Okuyasu spoke "No kiddin’! My heart isn’t built for that kind of shock!"

Mikitaka spoke "Oh, you’re being too kind."

Josuke spoke "That wasn’t a compliment, you know."

I scoff "He wasn't joking...."

Okuyasu spoke "Oh, yeah, that’s right. You’ve got perfect timing. It’s high time for you to come clean about something, Mr. Alien Man. You’re not actually from outer space, are you? You’re just a run-of-the-mill Stand User who believes he’s an alien for some reason. Spill the beans! All this lyin’ ain’t cool!"

Mikitaka spoke "What do you mean? I have no beans, and I really am an alien."

Yeah, that’s makes me worry if he got hit in the head.

Okuyasu spoke "There you go, talkin’ like a frickin’ weirdo again!"

A sudden snarl from Shirou shuts Mikitaka up.

Shirou spoke "Quit the lying mister, you're NOT an alien!"

Josuke spoke "So, uh, here’s a question for you. Why were you lying out here as a pair of binoculars? It’s a little weird."

Mikitaka spoke "Well, *Points to the right* I wanted you and your friends to see something, hence my waiting here in the open."

We looked right, seeing an old transmission tower.

Okuyasu asks "That?"

Mikitaka spoke "Yes. It’s a transmission tower, to be exact."

Okuyasu spoke "Huh. You don’t say."

Josuke spoke "Uh, calling it that might be a bit of a stretch. Without any of its power lines, it’s more of a relic of the past. When redevelopment took over here, most of the excess power lines were taken down and moved underground."

Shirou spoke "I can vouch for that."

A speedy blue dragon with green eyes had crashed into the tower.

To Shirou's surprise, the dragon sounded exactly like his eldest grandson.

The dragon spoke "That's the last time I trust that pale green Mew with a potion!"

Kim suddenly appeared. “Sorry! At least it’s temporary! And who knows, maybe you’ll get a new form when this wears off.”

Surprisingly, the tower wasn’t damaged.

The dragon asks "Want a tailslap to the face?"

Shirou spoke "Sonic. Over here."

Grabbing Kim with magic, Sonic spoke "Oh, hey gramps."

Shirou asks "I don’t need to ask this, but what happened?"

Kim was trying to escape.

Sonic spoke "This little twerp threw a potion at me after I had pranked her."

Shirou spoke "Be glad it’s only temporary."

Sonic spoke "*sweatdrop* I just hope it doesn't give Bertha the wrong idea."

Shirou cleared his throat before pointing left as we saw Bertha sitting and looking down, feeling sad as she sighed.

Tossing Kim through a warp ring back to Equestria, Sonic asks "You okay Bertha?"

Bertha asks "Hmm? Who are you and how do you know my name?"

Sonic laughs "As if the blue scales, green eyes and vocal tone weren't enough to make you figure it out."

Bertha asks "Wait… Sonic?"

Sonic laughs "Took ya long enough!"

Bertha asks "Wh-What happened?"

Sonic spoke "As much as I want to pin the blame on Ein, he didn't do this. Kim did."

Bertha spoke "O-Oh…"

I laugh "Oh man! You've got it bad dragon girl!"

Bertha asks "*Blush* W-What are you talking about?"

I laugh "I may not have the same talent as my counterpart does but even I can see you have it bad for the Prince of the Wind!"

Bertha spoke "Q-Quit it!"

Sonic chuckles "What's the matter Bertha, too much of a Torchic to admit you have some feelings for me?"

That made Bertha blush even more.

Sonic chuckles "I've already talked to Roll, she doesn't mind if you join."

Bertha was silent for some reason.

“Uh… Bertha?” Sonic checked before Bertha suddenly lunged at him and pinned the blue dragon down, blushing madly and panting heavily before I threw a warp ring, making the two fall through before it closed.

I laugh "That was crazy!!"

Ichigo soon arrived via warp ring since she couldn't teleport without throwing up after.

To Josuke's surprise, a phoenix Mobini male and a wolf/alicorn Beastwoman was with the catgirl.

Ichigo spoke "Hey Josuke."

Josuke asks "Uh, who’re they?"

Yuu spoke "I'm Yuu Wright, I happen to be one of Sonic's aunts. The phoenix is well, Phoenix Wright."

Phoenix spoke "Hi."

Ichigo spoke "Garnet, you did good. Maybe you can patrol around the rest of Morioh just in case."

I spoke "If I sense that Yoshikage jerk about to make a move, I'll let you know with Telepathy immediately."

Ichigo smiled at that as I started flying off.

*Ichigo’s POV*

Okuyasu asks "*To Mikitaka* Why did you want us to see that old thing?"

Josuke asks "*Sarcastically* Is that what you’re using to communicate with life on other planets?"

Mikitaka spoke "Unless I’m mistaken, there’s smoke wafting up from around the center of the tower."

We were confused as we looked at the tower, only to see a burning furnace with smoke coming out.

Okuyasu spoke "Whoa! You’re right!"

Josuke spoke "Yeah, how weird."

Mikitaka spoke "*Transforms into binoculars in Josuke’s hands* Please use me to take a closer look."

Josuke then looked before he looked shocked. “What the?! There’s a kettle!”

“Huh?!” I gasped.

Okuyasu spoke "Seriously?! But how is that possible?! That tower’s like twenty meters in the air!"

Mikitaka spoke "Indeed. But aim me about 5 meters higher."

Josuke spoke "*Does that* You don’t see that every day."

I took Mikitaka and looked, seeing a sofa and non-electrical lines that were hanging clothes.

Yuu spoke "*eyes shimmer a bit* I see something up there!"

Okuyasu spoke "Stop hogging the alien! *Grabs Mikitaka* I wanna see! *Gasps with Yuu* Oh wow! It’s a dude! There’s a guy sitting up there cooking some grub!"

Josuke spoke "What?! Let me see! *Grabs Mikitaka*"

Yuu spoke "It’s a male red fox Mobian! He reeled in a fish and picked a cucumber from a nearby vine up there!"

Okuyasu spoke "I think that tower might be his home! And he looks comfy. So he’s probably spent his entire life up there! He can fish from the river and he’s got cucumbers growing! Nice! That’s impressive!"

Josuke spoke "*Gives me Mikitaka as I saw the same thing* I have to agree with you. It’s like this guy is living in one of those fancy self-sufficient homes."

Mikitaka spoke "This world has no shortages of curious individuals."

Yuu spoke "That's nothing compared to a certain pink pony I know."

But then Yuu and I gasped, seeing the red fox trying to balance across the steel beam while holding his pan of cucumber and fish. He started losing balance! “Don’t fall!” I called out before the red fox jumped with a bolt on the tower somehow unscrewing itself, flying across the interior as the red fox landed on the bolt, riding it like an extreme gear before jumping onto another beam and catching the food while the bolt landed on the beam’s side and stayed there.

Okuyasu asks "Did you see that?"

Josuke spoke "This guy has to be a new Stand User."

Okuyasu spoke "He just flew right through the air like it was nothing!"

Josuke asks "Yeah, I know. But what’s a Stand User doing living on a transmission tower?"

Mikitaka spoke "If we want to find out the answer to that, I believe we’ll need to take a closer look."

Yuu, Phoenix and I airlift the trio up to get a closer look.

I was carrying Josuke by the arms.

We got close before we noticed the red fox looking at us.

Okuyasu asks "Check it out. Looks like that tower dude might’ve noticed that we noticed him. You wanna get closer?"

Josuke spoke "*Gently putting me down* Oh yeah, but we have to play it safe. We still don’t know if that users on our side or if he’s angling to take us out."

We got closer as we noticed the size of the tower.

Okuyasu spoke "This thing looks a lot bigger once you get up close to it."

The Red Fox spoke "*Sitting on a toilet* If you fellas know what’s good for you, you’ll stop right there and won’t get any closer."

All of us, except Josuke and Okuyasu, suddenly had a bad feeling as we backed away before noticing the two still there.

The Red Fox spoke "Didn’t you two hear what I said? Get back! I just answered the call of nature, and trust me, you don’t wanna be there or get the message."

Josuke spoke "I’m really not following."

“Josuke! Okuyasu! Get back before-“ I tried to warn before three open pipes sprayed the two with sparkle and a rainbow as the rest of us covered our noses.

Okuyasu spoke "What the hell?! This is disgusting!"

Josuke and Okuyasu ran back to us.

The Red Fox spoke "Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I needed to fertilize the garden."

Josuke spoke "Blech! That’s so gross!"

The Red Fox spoke "Watch your mouth! That’s impolite! I designed this nifty contraption so it would distribute the fertilizer to all the plants below. I’m all about that zero-waste lifestyle, you know? On the right are Asiatic Dayflowers, Mountain Asparagus, and Watercress. They’re all completely edible! And with all of these plants around, catching nibbling rabbits is a cinch, so I’ve got the best of both worlds, baby."

I immediately threw up my lunch.

Josuke asks "*As my stomach started to settle down* No way, so you're really living up there all alone? Doesn't this tower belong to some electric company?"

The Red Fox spoke "*Belaying down* What are you talking about? I payed for this house with my own money, it's all mine. I bought this abandoned tower for 100,000 yen and transformed it into my self-sufficient dream house."

Okuyasu asks "You bought it?"

Josuke asks "For 100,000 yen?"

The Red Fox spoke "Yes, that's right, it was a steal. Since I'm support myself, I'm not stuck working for some lame company. It's a pretty sweet life if you think about it. I don't have to leave the house and I get all the exercise I could ever need. I mean, do you see this view? It's spectacular."

Josuke asks "Wait, run that by me again. You don't even have to leave? Just how long have you been living up there anyway?"

The Red Fox spoke "I supposed I've been here for about three years now."

Okuyasu asks "What?!"

Josuke asks "Three years?!"

The Red Fox spoke "I probably haven't touched terra firma in nearly a month."

I ask "What's your name sir?"

The Red Fox spoke "Toyohiro Kanedaichi."

Okuyasu started whispering to us. "What're we gonna do, guys? I had no idea such an idiot was living right under our noses in Morioh. If you ask me, he's a pure-grade nutcase. He's just living out a fantasy, but there's no way he'd be dumb enough to attack us."

Josuke spoke "You're right. For now at least, our best option is heading back and reporting to Midnight. Then again, something just doesn't feel right about this."

I spoke "As Sakura's lion would say, you should expect the unexpected. We don't know anything about this guy."

I noticed the red fox wearing iron kneecapped pants, a crop top that connects to his belt via two suspenders attached to his shirt pockets, a hat that appears to be based off either a mariner’s or newsboy’s cap but with the hat’s visor located higher up the hat’s crown and several brooches on his clothing, including a spider and a butterfly on his shirt and leaves on his belt and armbands. But what was odd was the stitch markings under his eyes before we noticed something falling out of his pocket.

Josuke asks "Hey, look sharp! Something fell outta your pocket! Hey, is that a photo?"

Toyohiro spoke "Would you all mind skedaddling and don't worry about picking that picture up. I'll get it later."

Josuke asks "It looks like an ordinary polaroid to me. *Looks through Mikitaka binoculars* Why is he so freaked out?"

Toyohiro spoke "It's fine! Just leave!"

Josuke spoke "What?! You're..."

Yuu spoke "*Eyes shimmering a bit* It can't be!"

Okuyasu asks "*Catches Mikitaka binocular* Hey! What's going on, Josuke?"

Josuke spoke "*Running towards the tower* At last! You're Kira's old man! I should have known your crusty ass was behind all this!"

Josuke soon went into the tower.

Toyohiro spoke "I've been waiting for this moment. You've stepped into my abode. *Belays up* If you tell someone to come in, they chicken out and refuse. But if you tell them the opposite, they get pissed and enter. You've at long last entered into Super Fly, Josuke Higashikata!"

Josuke asks "Wait, I've what?!"

Yoshihiro spoke "Well done, Toyohiro Kanedaichi. You lured him in, hook, line and sinker! Now our friend Josuke has a new home. Kudos, my friend!"

Okuyasu spoke "That sounds bad, bro. You gotta come back. Get moving, Josuke!"

Josuke spoke "No! Kira's dad somehow escaped, and he's got the arrow!"

Yoshihiro laughed as he started flying off in the photo.

Josuke spoke "No! *Chases* Get back here!"

But while leaving the tower, parts of Josuke suddenly started turning metallic, like he was being roboticized by something.

Toyohiro spoke "I'm sure you're confused, so let me explain. Once someone steps into the tower's realm, it won't spit them out until its next victim steps in. However, if they try to force their way out, they simply become part of the tower. That's the secret ability of my Stand, Super Fly!"

The tower itself is a Stand?! So anyone can see it?! Talk about power!

Yoshihiro spoke "*Escaping entirely* We've got you now, Josuke Higashikata! Make sure he stays nice and comfy, Toyohiro!"

Yoshihiro laughed as he completely managed to get away.

Okuyasu spoke "Josuke!"

Josuke spoke "Damn it all!"

Josuke stepped back, undoing what happened to him.

Toyohiro spoke "I have a bit of a confession to make. Super Fly's indeed my Stand, but it isn't exactly under my control. It pretty much does whatever it wants. And now that you're here, I can take off. I've been trapped by Super Fly for the entirety of my stay here. *Grabs lines connected between Super Fly and another tower* Well, take care of her for me! I've got a life to enjoy."

Okuyasu spoke "So this sly son of a bitch is in cahoots with that grandpa ghost dude from the picture."

Mikitaka asks "Mr. Okuyasu, is there anyway I could possibly be of assistance to you?

Okuyasu spoke "You'll just get hurt, so stay out of it. Your assistance is no longer needed. Now if you could change your body into sticks of dynamite instead of dice or binoculars, we might have something to work with."

Mikitaka spoke "Oh, that would be impossible. I can't change into any object stronger than myself, so explosives and large mechanisms are off limits. Perhaps there is another way I can be of use."

Okuyasu spoke "Oh shut up! I already told you there's not a damn thing you can do. Get outta here and let us do what we do best. *Starts approaching the tower* That asshole thinks I'm just gonna let him trap his prey and make some super cool escape, *Summons the Hand* but he's about to find out he messed with the wrong Stand Users."

"Everyone, get ready to attack the feet of the tower." I ordered.

Josuke asks "Hey, you gonna go for it, everyone?"

Okuyasu spoke "We're ready to go when you are, buddy. This rusty tower has got nothing on us. Let's all bring it down, Josuke."

Josuke spoke "Heh, right. Bustin' outta here is gonna be a snap and a half."

All of us started barraging the feet of the tower with attacks, causing the line to shake.

Toyohiro asks "Whoa there! What are you doing?! Damn these dicks... How the hell did they get so strong?"

We couldn't destroy the feet of the tower, but we damaged them pretty good.

Okuyasu spoke "This thing's pretty frickin' solid! But if we keep pounding it like we have been, it'll snap in two and fall over in no time. See for yourself! You're about to come crashing to good ol' terra firma!"

Toyohiro spoke "You dumbass. Do you think you all can scare me? I had a feeling you would go straight to your attacks. Looks like you haven't noticed yet. This tower has absorbed the power of your attacks and has redistributed the force over its entire structure!"

Okuyasu spoke "Huh? What's this jackass babblin' about? Hang tight, you'll be out of this metal death trap before you know it! Here we go!"

But the rest of us stopped, ears twitching.

Josuke spoke "Hold it, Okuyasu. Listen for a sec."

We were hearing vibrations from the tower.

Josuke asks "I'm getting a real bad feeling about this. That sound, what the hell is he planning?"

Toyohiro spoke "What you're hearing is the sound of the energy leftover from your attacks reverberating throughout the whole tower!"

Josuke asks "What?"

Toyohiro spoke "Mind if I ask you all a question? Have any of you heard of the law of conservation? Once energy has been collected, it'll eventually be released for use in a different form. And I wonder where it's gonna go now."

But then it hit us, which wasn't good.

Josuke spoke "Oh shit... Everyone, get down!"

The attacks we used in our previous barrages suddenly emerged from the tower, meaning our attacks were fired back at us as most of us guarded ourselves while Josuke was almost knocked out of the tower, but pulled himself back in.

Toyohiro spoke "Attack the tower as much as you'd like. All that energy all of you idiots are putting out is just going to go around and around and come right back to bite you in the ass. So go ahead, you're only hurting yourselves. Why not save the money in hospital bills and accept that you're outmatched. It doesn't matter how strong you are, nothing you do will ever be able to destroy this tower!"

Phoenix spoke "That was too close!"

Phoenix was right in front of Okuyasu with a few circles of fire on him, telling us that Phoenix was healing himself.

Toyohiro spoke "Guess I should've warned you about that, huh? I can see your thoughts racing. You think if you can manage to defeat me, the User, you'll have a way out. But that's merely a pipe dream. Remember, this Stand exists independently of me. Even if I were to just drop dead, that would never stop this tower from ensnaring victims until the end of time. That's Super Fly's special ability."

Josuke asks "Until the end... of time?"

Toyohiro asks "*Starts moving on the line again* Don't look so serious, Josuke. All you have to do is find someone else to take your place. It's not rocket science. One person goes in, and one comes out. It's a simple exchange. Trap some poor fool and get yourself out. It's kinda like that card game, Old Maid. *As Josuke growled* It's a lot like society. Just hand over the old maid to some other fool and get the hell out of dodge. Don't you agree?"

Mikitaka spoke "I do, wholeheartedly. *Voice coming from a line* Pulling someone else in will surely help Josuke."

Mikitaka suddenly shifted from a line back to a bit of himself, telling us that he managed to sneak by and disguise himself.

Okuyasu asks "How'd he...?"

Toyohiro was holding the wrong line, which is actually Mikitaka.

Mikitaka spoke "And I think you're the perfect candidate. Time to go back to the tower. You're grounded."

Mikitaka swung into the tower with Toyohiro.

Okuyasu spoke "Gah-Holy..."

Josuke spoke "*Smile* Mikitaka, you sly dog!"

"Smart thinking!" I whooped!

Toyohiro asks "What the hell is going on here?! Where did you come from and how are you a power line?! What sort of power is this?!"

Mikitaka spoke "How very kind of you to ask. *Coiling around Toyohiro* I possess these powers due to my being an alien."

He isn't an alien, but I'm not gonna complain!

Okuyasu spoke "yeah! You've got him now! Way to be useful, alien dude!"

Mikitaka spoke "Quickly now, please exit the confines of the tower, Mr. Josuke."

Toyohiro spoke "Damn you!"

Okuyasu spoke "Thanks, you frickin' rock, Mikitaka! You heard him, Josuke, get outta there! Leave the tower before it's too late!"

Josuke spoke "Yeah! On my way!"

Josuke walked towards us and past the tower's entrance with no part of him turning metallic at all.

Josuke spoke "Sweet! I made it out!"

Yuu spoke "Hold on, that didn't look like the Yoshihiro we know. His clothes were green and red, with his hair being those colors too, along with him having orange eyes, dark pale skin and strange dark green and dark red facial paint."

A sudden fire blast from Garnet incinerates the photo, killing the alternate Yoshihiro off for good.

Garnet spoke "GOTCHA YA BASTARD!!"

Yuu spoke "*Shock* Th-The arrow... That counterpart had an arrow, and it started flying before it vanished like it went invisible from all kinds of radar!"

Toyohiro spoke "You bastard! What even are you?! The guy in the photo told me about Josuke's allies, but he never mentioned a freak show like you!"

Mikitaka spoke "Being an alien, I have no knowledge of this so-called Old Maid game. But I don't like the way you tricked Josuke and tried to trap him here forever. It's an awful like an adult beating a child at a new year's card game by cheating. That's why I brought you back. You don't deserve to be free. You're never leaving this tower."

Toyohiro spoke "...Here's the thing, I've developed these really thick calluses from swinging around up here all this time. They're so thick I can hide things in them. *Reveals a hidden blade in the calluses of his right hand* Now die, dickhead! *Cuts the line*"

Mikitaka spoke "You seem to assume what's in your hand is a part of me, but I am afraid that is a misconception. What you're holding isn't me, but the power line you were hanging onto. As you can see, I am fine. *Moves aside, revealing the real power line as the cut made it snap, letting Toyohiro fall as he screamed*"

Okuyasu spoke "yes! He did it!"

Josuke spoke "That was totally epic, Mikitaka! Now get yourself to the top and get over here!"

Toyohiro spoke"After years of waiting, you've finally stepped into my tower's realm. Do you really think I'd let you walk away? You're looking at a man who spent every moment of every day thinking about escaping this god-forsaken tower!"

Energy suddenly shot out of the severed power line, hitting Mikitaka in the chest as Toyohiro caught onto a beam, stopping his fall and landing on another beam.

Toyohiro spoke "Have you already forgotten my warning? This tower will return any attack back to the attacker. That wire is also a part of this tower. I purposely severed the lines so that the opening would face you."

Mikitaka asks "Is-Is this really the place where I meet my end? *Groan!*"

Josuke spoke"No! Mikitaka! Get your ass outta there! I can heal the wound, but you have to leave the tower!"

Toyohiro spoke "Oh no! The only leaving here is me!"

The red fox jumped and threw screws at a beam before landing on that same beam when the screws suddenly fired off, shredding his shirt apart.

Toyohiro spoke "Direction and angle, check."

The three screws hit Mikitaka in the right arm, pinning him to a vertical beam.

Toyohiro spoke "If you strike it, it strikes back."

Okuyasu spoke "Mikitaka!"

Josuke spoke "You sick bastard!"

Toyohiro spoke "You definitely made escaping a little bit tougher, I must admit. But all that ugliness is behind us now. I'd wager prying those suckers out will sting just a touch, but you'll have all the time in the world to heal. Feel free to use the medicinal herbs in the garden."

Josuke snarls "Bastard! I'll make sure you pay for that! Even if you somehow manage to make it out of that tower, I'll chase your deceitful ass to the ends of Mobius!"

Toyohiro laughs "Oh, you can try, but you won't succeed. From what the old man told me, you still haven't even uncovered the whereabouts of Yoshikage Kira."

That made all of us, even Garnet flinch, knowing that was true.

A sudden triple blast of fire hits Toyohiro hard, sending him crashing back into the tower.

Nightmare Danyelle spoke "Nice try asshole, you picked the wrong group of people to piss off!"

Zoey spoke "You're not getting away from us now!"

Dren spoke "Danyelle made sure to bind you to the tower."

But Toyohiro smirked as energy suddenly bursted from the beam he was shackled to, shattering the Chaos Chains before he jumped off the beam as energy shot off it right after that, aiming at Nightmare Danyelle as she managed to dodge that.

Toyohiro asks "I didn’t think my escape would go so smoothly, though I shouldn’t be surprised. After all, you haven’t even found Yoshikage Kira yet, have you? *As all of us grunt, confirming that* Did it ever cross your mind that my name might be fake? Or that I could may be wearing a mask? *Grabs his neck before pulling it up, revealing to be a mask* Does the name Kanedaichi sound real?"

Okuyasu asks "What?! This guy’s a fake?!"

Josuke snarls "So you’ve been wearing a gaudy mask all along?"

Toyohiro spoke "*Wearing a different mask with the hat in a different position* Leaving this place has been my mission. Did you really think I’d do it without a clean escape? See ya, everyone! *Starts leaving* I’d definitely wouldn’t wanna be ya!"

Before Nightmare Danyelle shouted out her attack, Josuke stopped her.

Nightmare Danyelle asks "What the actual hell Josuke?"

Josuke spoke "Don't worry, *Sees Toyohiro distracted by Mikitaka's talking* You don't have to do everything yourself."

Mikitaka managed to distract Toyohiro long enough without knowing it for Josuke to use Shining Diamond on the severed wire to get to Toyohiro’s level. Josuke started fighting Toyoshiro as the battle lasted for a while with Josuke using Shining Diamond while Toyoshiro used Super Fly’s redirection to his advantage as with energy beams ricocheting off steel beams, landing a few blows on Josuke, especially on both of his arms. But thanks to Shining Diamond, Josuke managed to send four shots flying to the slashed steel, hitting Toyohiro and piercing his mask in the process. It was clear Toyohiro was defeated as all of us were back on ground and outside the tower, while Toyohiro was on ground, inside the tower with a third mask not wearing the hat.

Toyohiro spoke "Please forgive me! The whole reason I started living in this god-forsaken tower was to get away from other people. But that cranky old grand-dude in the photo convinced me to trap a Stand User. He said if I could just do that, he’d make sure I’d have a life in the outside world, so I decided to go for it! Please go easy on me, I’m begging you! If you let me go back inside the safety of my tower, I’ll be a good boy! I never wanna leave home again! Just let me stay between these beams! I promise, I’ll live out the rest out of my live in peace and quiet!"

Nightmare Danyelle growls "Under one condition, you tell us where Yoshikage is hiding!"

Toyohiro spoke "*Scared* I'm sorry, but I have no idea who or where that guy is."

Josuke spoke "*As some of the others held Nightmare Danyelle back* Whoa, calm down, Danyelle. Listen, you staying here is fine, but tell us more about the old guy. Did he tell you anything else? Anything would help us."

Toyohiro spoke "*Having calmed down* Well, actually, he did mention a Stand User. I think his name was Koichi."

That made us gasp.

Josuke asks"What else do you know about Koichi?!"

Toyohiro spoke "Hey, take it easy man, the geezer and I were just having some casual conversation. He barely even mentioned him. The subject never came up again, and I didn't think to ask anything and he didn't elaborate on who the guy was."

Okuyasu asks "Get to the point! What did he say about Koichi?"

Toyohiro spoke "Well, he told me he found a way to eliminate him."

That made us gasp again.

Josuke asks "He said he got rid of him?!"

Toyohiro spoke "And if his son's Yoshikage Kira, then it seems like the old man might have already caught up to him. He said from now on he would do more than just protect his son, he'd start seeking out and attacking his enemies. Then he told me a recently created Stand User eliminated a User named Koichi just this morning. But that's all, I swear."

Garnet spoke "*Remembers* That's right! That's why I came back! To tell you guys that Koichi suddenly went off the grid! But I can sense that he's still alive!"

Amaterasu pops out of Nightmare Danyelle's shadow.

Looking at Toyohiro, Amaterasu spoke "Bark bark {Dude, you got the wrong Yoshihiro. The one we know is sealed away in a place he can't get out of.}"

Yuu spoke "Amaterasu, we knew that earlier."

Amaterasu asks "Woof? {Are you saying I'm stupid?}"

Yuu spoke "What, no."

Amaterasu asks "Woof? {Do I look stupid to you?}"

The stunt caused Toyohiro to burst out into a fit of laughter.

Nightmare Danyelle asks "What's so funny?"

Toyohiro laughs *Laughing* I-I’m sorry! It’s just that sounds so corny and-*Laughs more with a wheeze*"

Well, I have a feeling that Toyohiro and Super Fly will be a tourist spot known as “The Man in the Electric Tower”, though that man is a red fox Mobian.

Nightmare Danyelle giggles "I often refer to Ein as the Screamer though. Most of the time, his pranks backfire and blow up in his face."

Toyohiro covered his mouth, trying to contain his laughter.

Nightmare Danyelle spoke "And here's one! BLUE PUNCH BUGGY!"

Nightmare Danyelle whacked a ball away with that.
