The Mobster grinned in surprise as the gun recoiled backwards within his grip. That bullet was right on its mark, the kid would be dead any second now... but then that single second turned to seconds, 2, 5, 19, a minute... and the kid was still standing?! "Did I miss?" He muttered to himself, preparing to just fire another shot as he noticed the look of completely shock coming from Gioeli, yet wasn't even directed at the man's face!
Following the teenager's line of sight, it only took a few seconds for the man to notice the completely nonsensical occurrence in front of him. Either he was going crazy finally, or the bullet he had just fired seconds earlier was crushed and hovering a foot or two in front of Jio. "What the fu-"
Boraboraboraborabora!!
Literally before he could eve even notice, the mobster's suit deformed in hideous indentions while the poor man's body caved in on itself with each unseen blow. The ephemeral wails falling on deaf ears while the previously high and mighty mobster was beaten senselessly by the oncoming rush of Black Star's invisible flurry of fists. "GUCKAAAAAAAAAA~" Coughing up blood from his fractured bones and punctured lungs, all the man could do was wail in agony as his body finally ceased its pummeling before collapsing onto the ground with a sickening crunch.
Meanwhile, Jio was having his own new experience as he interacted with his Stand for the first time. "W-Who is this guy? What did he call you? A Stando?" He muttered, the stud humanoid Stand briefly glancing down at Gioeli before turning to face the other elephant in the room... the delinquent's stand who looked like had just killed a man. Scrambling onto his feet before maneuvering through the opening of the alleyway, Joshua broke off into a sprint once more after taking care not to trip over that mobster's body. "Don't follow me!" He shouted over his shoulder, not wanting to take his chances with whatever that Stando thing was that Bang had. Breaking out into an eerily open and lifeless street, Jio bent onto his knees to catch his breath finally before turning around to look and see if the guy had followed him again.
If he did, there were no promises that Jio wouldn't punch him.

"Phew.~"
Bang sighed, relieved that the annoying gunner was beaten senseless and out of his face. Now, for more pressing matters. And by that, he meant Jio. Bang turned on his heel, facing the teenager and his stand. The tall humanoid looking quite angry. It made Bang chuckle, though. This kid's stand had more balls than he did! Tilting his head and cracking his neck, Yoshiyoma focused on Jio. He was visibly still shaken up by the entire scenario. To think, his willpower was strong enough to manifest a stand. Darn. There was probably something to it. There was no way Joshua was this sheepish, normally. If this could awaken his ability, there was probably something lying beneath him. Joshua Gioeli was not as he seemed. Bang could speculate later. For now, questions were in need of some answers. However, it seemed that Joshua wanted no part of this scene. Shame. Black Star, despite having its eyes shielded by the helmet perched atop its cranium, had eyed Joshua's stand right back down. Electricity capable of surging and shocking anyone within a few meters of the two Ghost Ripples. Bang swore once again, this time huffing a phrase beneath his breath. "Give me a break.." He groaned, watching as Jio darted from the alley and turned a corner. Of course, Yoshiyoma Bang followed quickly behind.
Running at an easy pace that would preserve oxygen and breath, Bang closed distance fairly easily. Made simple by Jio's action of halting and checking behind him. As soon as he was a few meters behind, then Bang would come to a walking pace. His hands shoved back into the pits of his pockets and his jacket back onto his torso, though opened up fully. "You're annoying," He sighed again. "Listen up, and listen well," Bang started. "Don't mind the o. It's a habit of mine. That thing is a stand, get it? It's a ghost made up of your fighting spirit, you're really freakin' lucky to have one. Especially with how big you are a..." The foul-mouthed delinquent stopped himself short. Refraining from using such a profane word. "...Especially with how big a wuss you are." Bang shook his head disapprovingly. "Enough running, you baby. Crack open that suitcase and give me my answers. You're ruining my lazy day by being such a jerk. Plus?" Bang took a single step forward. "I wanna be the one who beats the hell outta you, you thief," Bang spoke with a menacing tone. He placed two and two, as well as used some educated guesses, to come to the conclusion that Joshua stole the item in question.
Black Star showed itself once more. Standing, or floating, rather, next to its master. It's arms pinned to its side at a forty-five degree and its fists closed tight. A neutral frown on its lips. One could see Bang was playing no games.

You're annoying" Kettle? Pot calling, he says you're black!" Jio hissed through his gritted teeth as he turned to find, surprise surprise, that stupidly persistent, irritating bratty delinquent from before was still following behind. " What is you're deal? Get lost already, punk." If there was one thing that Joshua hated more than anything else, it was delinquents. Their complete disrespect for everyone else but their own, it would be admirable if it didn't make them complete trash. Simply being mistaken for such waste of human potential due to an unfortunate hair situation he was born with had always irked Jio at a personal level; and after the harrowing experience he had just had, the student was in no mood at all for chit-chatting one up. That thing is a stand, get it? It's a ghost made up of your fighting spirit.Joshua clenched his fist as he took notice of the daunting figure still silently floating next to him, the thing still staring at Bang as he continued on his spiteful tangent. " A stand... huh?" Jio muttered to himself, bringing his hand up to meet the creature, willing it to mirror him if it truly was a part of his spirit... and to the boy's visible surprise, it really did! The muscular behemoth of a humanoid had to bend it's arm at a downward angle to come up to it, but it really did listen to his command. I wanna be the one who beats the hell outta you, you thief.And that was when the miserable excuse for life, delinquent interrupted Jio's moment with another ignorant statement. At first, he became fearful of getting into a conflict; after all, Jio was never one to get into a fight if he could avoid it... but the quivering lips that might have been assumed to signal weak tears only evolved further into a curling smirk of a mouth. His lips broke free as laughter began escaping Joshua's mouth! " Heh...hehehehHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed, his own school jacket top coming unbuttoned before wafting backwards of the youth with the draft, simulating something like a cape of sorts as he withdrew his arms completely from the attire. "So!" Thrusting a finger at the delinquent, Jio's voice deepened in a condescending tone as his confidence showed. " You think trash like you is going to put me down?!" Curling a fist at his side, Jio's stand copied his flexed and pointing actions perfectly in mirror to him. " I gave you a chance to leave and you ignorantly refused it... so, how about we test this new ability I have against you're own." This power, this special power was his to command?! So what if there were others similar?! Trash like that delinquent would remain trash that couldn't touch him; it was true in the realm of academics and it shall be true in the realms of combat between these Stands too! " What did you call you're Stand? Trash Star?" Jio's grin lasted a few more moments before he too took a step foreward, his stand matching his pace behind with a stalwart and serious expression. It knew combat to soon follow, it would not trifle in the slightest. " I think it only fitting that I tell you the name of mine:" A name he had just come up with... an ability that represented a ideology he had always hoped to follow but had always submitted to reality in contest with... until now, that is! 「EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD」, but with this ability, he was at the first step to accomplish it! "「ERWORLD」!"

ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ "Damn," Yoshiyoma complained. This kid had his stand awoken only five minutes ago, and he was already acting as if he was invincible. Talk about having bad luck. The delinquent cocked his head as Black Star moved forward on its accord. Standing directly in front of its user and faithfully guarding him in the case that this guy would attack. "ERWORLD?" He repeated. His accent acting up, as the 'World' bit had been transformed into 'E. R. Warudo'. The teen's eyes narrowed now. His stand was insulted and renamed. The Black swapped out for Trash. Well, it was safe to assume that Bang was going to reap a satisfied feeling after beating this guy to high hell. Bang began a slow stride towards his new opponent. His hands locked in his pockets and his body shifting weight from left to right with each step taken. "Im sure as hell not scared of you, wimp." He stated. "Now, gotta get closer. To let my stand judge yours."He added, his voice dark and as serious as can be. Upon reaching the appropriate amount of distance between himself and Jio, Bang shouted his command. "Sic 'em, Black Star!" His voice thundering out powerfully, his Ghost Ripple exploding from him and darting into the vicinity of his opponent. The black and white phantom roaring a cry of war as it stopped before ERWorld. Joshua better have had acted quickly. Otherwise, he'd be subject to a flurry of insanely quick punches. Granted, something incredibly important had to be kept in mind: Black Star's Destructive Power and Precision stats were exemplary, as they clocked in at a solid A rankings. However, its Speed was nothing too impressive, clocking in at a base C. Granted, its Durability was a good B. Allowing it to withstand some serious beatings. Now, about the battle about to ensue. To kick this duel off, Black Star had already begun a basic flurry of blows. Not necessarily aiming for vitals immediately. Instead, aiming for general weak points, such as the arms and chest, as well as few blows for the gut. Joshua was going to learn what it was like to have an extension of yourself take blows that would normally crush the Average Joe.
Stand Battle initiated! > B. Star attacks with a basic flurry of punches!

Im sure as hell not scared of you, wimp."Tch." Joshua scoffed at the sheer insolence radiating off of this particular delinquent as he approached. The teens' paces matching each other perfectly as they both were brought closer and closer with their Stands in tow. " Well I don't expect you to, considering how Ignant you are..." Finally as they both closed to a stop, ERWorld froze in front of Gioeli before bringing its hands together to crack its knuckles, an action it was mimicking off of Jio. " But don't worry... you'll learn." Now, gotta get closer. To let my stand judge yours." Judge? Hmph. They say cold fury isn't a sin... but I'll judge this instance." Pointing a single finger towards Bang's Black Star as it grew closer, ERWorld copying this intimidating movement as well, Jio offered one last smug grin before seriously focusing on Black Star. " With your judgement in tow, strike through them all; ERWORLD!" Meeting Black Star head on with it's own well placed fist, the lavender giant of a stand met blow for blow with its leaner counterpart. The Star clashed with the World, and with each clash leaves shook while wind whipped around the intimidating forces at work. " DASU DASU DASU DASU DASU DASU DASU!" With each strike as the flurries of fists met each other, Joshua slightly recoiled back at first if only for a moment. Staring down at the sudden pounding on his hands, the boy's gaze wavered there for only a few more moments before returning his intense glare back at Yoshiyoma. "I see... so I feel whatever my Stand feels?" Interesting information to keep at heart when forcing his "fighting spirit" to battle, but not the most pressing matter at hand.
While it was true that as the fists of the two Stands clashed, Black Star possessed an advantage in the form of its great precision; however that was simply it. In terms of raw speed and power, none seemed to equal ERWorld's, the platinum stand possessing an unparalleled excel in these fields; and while Black Star did hold a strength close if not equal to Jio's own, that speed was where Bang's downfall may lead. If the delinquent's Stand's pace faltered even one bit, or ceased to accelerate at the same pace as Jio's, ERWorld would overwhelm Black Star with its superior speed leading to more and more blows landing on their mark!
"DASU!" Catching one of Black Star's broadly placed body shots with the end of its own knuckles, the lavender warrior spun around on it's back before poising to ram the knee of it's leg through the side of Black Star's head on the way around. The momentum of his previous blows only transferring as the Stand's reverse roundhouse aimed to knock the opposing Stand to the side.

"That's right, freakshow."
Bang confirmed, trying to power forward. Black Star's speed meeting ERWorld's smoothly. Although he was fairly outclassed by his opponent's speed, he was somehow able to keep his own. As the two stands banged and smashed fists against one another's, it was noticeable that Yoshiyoma was serious. Small phrases and replies leaving him, but nothing more. His focus was entirely on getting closer to Jio. There was no way he'd lost. Not today, and nor any other. With every attack given and taken, Yoshiyoma made it his business to seek weak points. Jio would learn of his stand's ability. And, as fate would have it, his opponent finally opened himself right up. Black Star and ERWorld had been going at it vigorously, before The World finally moved in a flash, bringing itself 'round and aiming to slash its leg into its opponent. Yoshiyoma had to thank the stars for lining this opportunity up for him. "Attack!" He bellowed, commanding Black Star to make use of this event.
Dipping back and then forth, B. Star cocked its right arm back. An incredible amount of raw strength and power surging into its bicep, forearm, and fist. Its hidden eyes locking onto ERWorld's kneecap. "BORAAAA!!" The phantom shouted powerfully, launching its fist forward. Like a bullet, its speed was increased only for this move. Its intent to meet the opponent's strike and cause a considerable amount of pain to be transferred. From strength to agony, that was how Black Star and Yoshiyoma Bang operated. B. Star's ability, Critical Impact, was going to be utilized here. Its ability being the power to seek and locate potential weak points and points of interest in the target's body. From there, said points would be exploited and made use of in order to swiftly incapacitate the enemy. Bang's intention at this point, though, was to stun the opponent by inciting a critical amount of pain into the opponent leg and work from there.

Attack!
Jio's eyes widened as he saw Black Star begin curling back its arm in reaction to ERWorld's roundhouse kick. Just when he thought he had this guy he pulls shit like this and manages to get out of an impossible situation. Despite having the speed advantage, Gioeli's stand did not have enough time to alter the course of its kick before it's leg instead impacted the Star's fist instead of its head. "Guh-" Caught off balance, all he could do though was power through and hope the attack would overpower the other's fist... but things didn't turn out exactly the way he wanted.
Though ERWorld struck at Black Star's fist with just as much force did not mean that the damage on either parties was negated. In fact, Jio had to stoop onto one knee, clutching his leg as the sleeves of his pants burst open in the spot of impact from the amount of force being transferred. "GAAH!" He recoiled, clutching the bruised and probably broken appendage before snapping his head back up to face Bang, now filled with a fiery fervor. "B-BASTARD!!!" He hit him, that filth actually damaged Joshua's knee, an action that he swore wouldn't go unpunished. He wouldn't lose to this battle, because this was the battle that would start a war!
Bloody cracks webbed out from the point where Black Star's fist struck ERWorld's leg, but never the less it still held the position as ethereal blood dripped from it's blunt wound. It may have been hurt, but it still managed to hit Black Star head on as well, so there was no way it would be escaping unscathed. Not only that, but in Bang's haste to have Black Star land hit on Joshua's weak points, he had revealed one as well on Black Star's person... it wouldn't be very dignified though. "ERWorld! Break!"
"DAAAAAAAAAAA-" Still keeping it's leg against Black Star's fist, ERWorld switched its center of gravity, turning its body so that it floated sideways in the air before ramming its leg upwards. "-SU!!!" Throwing all of its weight into the blow, Jio's stand threw in its full power with its free leg to smash itself up through the center of Black Star's legs. Muscle rippled through the air as the intense force struck upwards, fully intent on going without any stop and with a blinding speed!

"Hm!" Bang grunted in approval over the result of his attack. He always knew he could trust B. Star's ability. Finding and making weaknesses. Be it temporary or to increase the fatality over how bad he would exploit an already existing one. It was a little difficult to explain. "Power!" Yoshiyoma stated aloud, signifying his advance. In the time that Jio took to swear and acknowledge pain, he took this as his chance to close in even further on the newby Stand user. It went without say, though, that Bang maintained a fair amount of defense all throughout. There was no way in hell he'd let his guard down even for a second. With an opponent like Gioeli, who appeared to be hell-bent on dishing out petty revenge and was apparently quick to take to combat, just the smallest detail of failure could've potentially lead to his defeat. And this delinquent wasn't having any of that bull. Not today. Despite Yoshiyoma's desire to have a no injury run, such feats were unattainable right now. As his foe shouted his own demand, Bang's brow cocked as he immediately stopped in his tracks and crossed his arms over his face. Black Star mirroring his master and holding a blocking position up. A number of motions and movements followed ERWorld before the true attack was shown. But, the preparatory moves were what stunned the user in the first place. Never before had he seen someone have their Ripple swap gravitation and direction. Well, he did have to consider what he was fighting; Yoshiyoma was essentially combatting The World. One of the major tarots, like his Star. The savage rising kick knocking the defense right out of Bang's offensive stand. "What?!" He grunted, his own arms being blown open and forced apart. B. Star's doing the same, and more. The amount fo speed and strength boasted by his opponent was enough to deal efficient damage, certainly a satisfying amount if Bang was to say so himself. That is if he wasn't on the receiving end. Black Star knocked upward, ERWorld's foot crashing into his..Gyro's, let's say. The exact same amount of pain transferred to Bang, who made noises of agony as he, himself, was knocked back a great deal. Keeping his heels to the ground the best he could, but ultimately getting launched into the skies by the tremendous amount of force behind ERWorld. Dropping down after a moment, a few feet away from his foe.. His eyes locked onto Jio, and despite his attempts, he failed to move for a moment. Unable to retort due to the feeling of pain seizing his groin. It sure didn't help that he was already bleeding from his knuckles and more. The stun lasted a moment or so, but even then, it felt like hours had gone by. Well, such was the price of fighting. The moment he did regain his movement and flexibility, Bang was quick to return to battle. Even though there was a searing amount of pain going through his legs, comparable to that of getting kicked in the shins by a hundred annoying preschoolers. His hands shoved into his pockets yet again. This fight was dangerous, but he seemed so nonchalant. The bangs and strands of hair hanging over his eyes causing a shadow to form over him. Black Star's familiar, galactic and cosmic aura surrounding its master as he began advancing back towards Joshua. Talk was clearly no more, and he was more intent on choking this enemy stand user out. ドドドドドドド

Jio felt a satisfying crunch underneath his feet, despite not moving from his keeled position at all as ERWorld's foot connected with Bang's groin. It wasn't pretty, he might have just sterilized a man, but damn did it feel good after having his leg bruised and maybe broken by that trash. The Stand user watched with gritted teeth as Black Star sailed up through the air, arching from the point of origin being ERWorld's foot having smashed into the enemy stand with the force of a jackhammer. The Yoshiyoma boy followed, grimacing in pain to Jio's own satisfaction before finally landing a ways away back... and yet he still persisted.
"TCH." Was all Jio could manage, his scowl returning as the irritating delinquent just game back. This was getting repetitive and ridiculous! What does he need to do to kill this guy, crush him underneath a tanker?! Gritting his teeth as his jawline tightened, the boy steadily propped himself up by retracting ERWorld, the Stand bending down briefly to pull Jio up before helping him balance on his arm. "Tha-" The Stand User half grunted, about to finish the statement before realizing that ERWorld was just him; he was essentially going to thank himself... thank Jio... hm, has a nice ring to it~
Still, that previous tangent of thought did spark an faint idea in the Stand User's head on how to finish off that irritating wrench in his plans. Looking briefly around the still yet empty street, Joshua realized he didn't have the right "supplies" to do it yet though... maybe if he could lead Yoshiyoma to the right spot though it might work. "What's wrong trash? You can't hit me all the way over there~" Jio briefly taunted before willing ERWorld to wrap its brawny, lavender arm around his waist before springing off the ground; the force of the Stand's tree-like legs splitting open the concrete as Gioeli was propelled through the air and away from his opponent, seemingly fleeing? "If you want to punch me then why don't you catch up?! HAHAHAHAHAAA! Dasu!"
Soaring through the air, Gioeli's eyes began scanning the world as it zoomed by at an incredible pace; he just needed a few seconds, then Bang's fate would be sealed! Speaking of the Yoshiyoma pest though, Jio twisted his neck back as ERWorld clung to him closer, the Stand User staring back to check if he maybe going too fast for the pest to follow?

"Why does this always happen. Bang sighed to himself as he continued pursuing his squirrelly adversary. It seemed as though he had Jio downloaded to the T. He was quick to flee when met by scary situations, and just as quick to assume the position of a cocky fool when he was atop the odds. It seemed as though it was just Bang's luck that his opponent was like this. Oh well. It simply added to the amount of experience he would be rewarded with after this skirmish. The teenager grunted as his foe launched himself into the air with the aid of his stand. Well, for a newbie, he was fairly quick to learn just what his ripple could do. Bang had to give some points for that, at the least. Oh...how lucky this kid was that Yoshiyoma wasn't just a few feet closer. What he wasn't lucky in, however, was the strategic excellence that Bang reigned over. His knowledge on the basics over these punching ghosts allowed him to act somewhat intelligently. And so he would.
He pointed. One finger, his Black Star mirroring him. "Idiot. If you're fleeing, you can't beat me. I doubt your ERWorld has the range to keep you safe while attacking. Not just that, but if you flee from this fight? This is my victory." Bang called out, speaking firmly. "I don't like cowards, either. Run now, and I can promise that your legs and arms will be broken next time we meet each other, punk! Yoshiyoma seemed to be quite angry. He didn't want to go airborne. Being above the ground and not in a vehicle made him kind of sick, to be honest. Instead of this, he wanted to see his opponent's move. If he ran, then so be it. If he ventured back into Black Star's range, then he'd probably get a fate worse than a mere bullet like earlier.
