6 Hit or Miss Part 2

"6-0, that's game." The ball bounces on the ground a few times before coming to a stop at Nate's feet. Nate in shocked, picks up the ball, passing it to Jon, who barely catches it. Nate and Jon switch places on the court, Nate was now watching and Jon was playing. Before checking it up to the stranger, Jon looks at Nate who gives him a look that told him all he needed.

*Beat this guy*

Jon gulps and passes the ball to the stranger. The stranger begins dribbling, Jon toughens up his defense. Watching how much he destroyed Nate behind the two point line, Jon knew to play as hard of a defense he possibly could, that's all he could really do. "Jon, are you perhaps a stand user?" Jon surprised at the question, loosens his defense.

How would he know what a stand is? Is that how he was able to make the ball curve like that? Is he able to control the movement of the ball?

Without warning, the stranger gets in his horrid shooting form saying, "Hit or miss." Jon quickly reacts jumping before he even takes the shot. Jon hopes to block it, but the stranger releases the ball. Jon's hand is in the path of the ball, but the ball seemingly curves around his hand. Without even thinking, Jon calls upon Gangsta's Paradise. Gangsta's Paradise rises from Jon's shadow and quickly jumps hitting the ball down yelling, "BURA!"

Jon drops to the ground, grabbing the ball before the stranger could touch it. Jon dribbles the ball, and the stranger begins playing defense. However Jon got past him easily with his dribble moves and ball control. Once he is past him, he performs a lay-up, but misses the mark sightly. Noticing this he calls upon Gangsta's Paradise, who dunks the ball in yelling, "BURA"

Jon catches the ball staring at the stranger who begins laughing.

"What's so funny," Jon asks.

"You're an idiot, that's all. You just revealed your stand. Now that I know you're a stand user, this changes everything."

Nate, confused at how Jon could have made the lay up asks, "Stand? The hell is a stand?"

"Don't worry about it," Jon replies.

The stranger begins to probe Nate with question, but is stopped by Jon beaming the ball to him. "1-0, check up," Jon says switching places with the stranger. The stranger checks the ball to Jon, who starts dribbling, the stranger lacks any defense. So Jon took this opportunity to probe him with questions.

"Do you know a man by the name of Robert Jones," Jon asks with a hesitation.

The stranger seems to freeze up for a moment. Jon takes the moment to get pass him, but as soon as Jon could shoot in a comfortable range away from the hoop, he takes a shot. As the ball flew through the air it seemed to have a direct path into the basket, Jon's heart pumps. However it soon pumped faster as a BANG could be heard ringing in both of their ears.

Flashbacks of his brother's death hit Jon hard.

The ball falls to the ground with a hole through it, Nate and Jon scared look at the stranger who was furious and had a gun out.

He points the gun at Jon, "How do you know that name?"

Both Nate and Jon stay silent, suddenly Nate's front door can be heard slamming open.

"The hell's going on out here?"

A man with a figure more muscular than Nate's already athletic build came out. It was his father who quickly assessed the situation and called out to the stranger, "Sir, these are just kids put down your gun."

Without warning the stranger says, "Hit or miss," and fires the pistol, hitting Nate's father in his leg.

"Dad," Nate yells out running over to him to comfort him.

The stranger then points his pistol at Nate, "Hit or miss," he says again. Jon catching him say it, summons out Gangsta's Paradise. The stranger fires the pistol, Gangsta's Paradise reacts as though it is a reflex and catches the bullet in midair. However the bullet flies backwards and around Gangsta's Paradise's hand.

Gangsta continues to attempt to catch the bullet, he catches it, but it always slips through his fingers. No matter what Gangsta did to it, kick, punch, or slap it away, it seemed to always go after Nate. Finally Gangsta's Paradise swipes his hand in front of the bullet and opens a portal into the shadow realm. The bullets goes into the shadow realm and Gangsta closes the portal. All of that at or even faster than the speed of a bullet.

The stranger points the gun at Jon, "Tell me how you know that name and maybe I won't bust a cap in yo' ass," the stranger says with a killer's stare.

Gangsta's Paradise floats next to Jon and whispers in his ear.

^Is Robert a dangerous person or something?

"No, he couldn't be a dangerous person," Jon whispers back, "He could be my brother's killer."

^But what if Robert troubled this guy before. Drove him to kill him and now he's going around killing his family members. What if Robert angered even more people.

"Shut up Gangsta," Jon yells.

"Gangsta? As in Gangsta's Paradise? That's what Robby called his stand," the stranger begins laughing, "How lucky am I?"

"You must be the killer," the stranger fires at Jon, Gangsta's Paradise stops the bullet from reaching Jon.

The bullet falls to the ground as Jon thinks to himself, that's strange it didn't curve or anything like that.

"That stand is annoying, but it looks like a close ranged type. How unlucky, the cops are probably around the corner too." The stranger sighs, turning around and walking out of the driveway, with his pistol in his back pocket covered by his shirt.

"Where do you think you're going," Jon says walking towards him.

Jesus, how unlucky, he is going to chase after me, the stranger thinks. That Nate guy must have called the cops and ambulance by now. I really shouldn't overstay. Plus I can't use my stand anymore.

"You accused me of being the killer of my own brother. When he died in my own arms," Jon says with his head down.

The stranger jumps at the news, he turns around, "You're his brother. He mentioned that he had one a couple times, but he never said your name. My luck is-" The stranger stops talking, as Jon keeps walking towards him, he lifts his head up slightly, anger is written on his face. "I grew up without a father and seeing my best friend's dad on the ground like that. It makes me sick."

^Wait, Jon, he could be a friend of Robert's there is no reason for us to beat him up.

"Shut up Gangsta! You're my super power, I'm supposed to be in control."

The stranger makes a dash for it, running away down the street. Jon swipes his hand opening up a portal into the shadow realm.

Inside here, I should be able to catch up to him faster, he thinks to himself.

Once the portal is open, the bullet that entered earlier came out, catching both Gangsta and Jon off guard. The bullet curves around the two of them and hits Nate right in the shoulder while he was still on the phone with emergency services.
