Unexpected Visit

It was night. Around 12 pm. It was dark outside. Only in the living room, the light was still on. Jotaro, Daijo, Kazuhiko and Joseph were sitting on the table, waiting for Polnareff, who would bring that guy, Lacoste.

The kid was sleeping. They had no idea how dangerous that kid was. But it had Star Platinum. And if it didn't lied, it was the son of DIO.

The door bell rang again. Jotaro stood up and left the room, just to come seconds later back, together with Polnareff and a big, muscular man, with short dark hair.

"That is he!" Jotaro said, pointing on the man.

"Yes! I remember him!" Kazuhiko looked at the man.

"He will help us finding that man, who sends the other Stand Users to kill us and steal Daijo's Stand!"

"What do you know about this man?" Kazuhiko asked.

"I know nothing, except, that he has a Stand that is able to give other people Stands. And that his Stand has the form of a glove!" Lacoste answered.

"So the glove is his Stand?" Joseph asked.

Lacoste nodded. "And i know a name!" 

"Say it!" Jotaro shouted

"I can't... He will kill me!" The man said. Daijo could see, that he was completely scared of that may.

"No! He can't kill you here!" Jotaro tried to calm him down.

"Of course he can! He is able to do everything! He has a whole armee of Stand Users standing helping him!"

"For saying that you didn't knew anything, you know a lot!" Polnareff said.

"You won't die! Trust me!" Jotaro said.

"Ok... His name is..."

They heard glass breaking. The bullet hit Lacoste's head. He fell dead on the ground. Blood flowed out of his wound. That was defenetly the work of a Stand User.

"What the?" Jotaro shouted and went to the window the bullet came from. "How..." 

"No!" Daijo pulled him away. "That guy may shoot again!" 

Suddenly another bullet flew through the window, hitting the light, darkening the room. It was so dark, you couldn't even see what right in front of you.

Then Daijo heared a door opening. It was the front door. Kazuhiko was about to summon his Stand as...

"I wouldn't do that if i were you. My man is still outside, aiming on you!" the voice sounded creepy, but calming at the same time. Who was that. Was he the man with the glove.

"Who are you?" Joseph asked.

"I'm the one you are searching for!" the man answered.

"Why are you here?" Jotaro asked.

"Call me Kage. I work in an office. I'm 34 years old. I live here, in Vienni. My Stands name is Smooth Criminal, and his power is to steel other Stands and give them to someone else, or copy up to five Stands and use them for myself!" the man answered.

"Why the hell are you telling us all this?" Kazuhiko asked.

"Because you won't remember anyway! You will loose every memory, after the moment, Polnareff and Lacoste entered this room." Kage answered and pointed on the dead body of Lacoste "Would you bring him to the car for me?" 

The man standing behind him nodded, walking to the corpse and grabbed it. Then he carried him to the front door.

"You are alone now!" Jotaro said, grinning.

"Oh, i wouldn't say that. I still have my man, aiming on you. Also i have four other men, standing in front of the house. Oh, and i have my five Stands!" 

"You didn't answered my question!" Jotaro said.

"What?" 

"Why are you here?" 

"Oh yes!" the man looked at Jotaro. "For about 3 years, i had a weird power. It's called 'Force'. That is how i blocked your Stand Joseph. You, Joseph have one too! Anyways, that 'Force' is ordering me, to kill you Joestars!"

"So you are here to kill us?" Jotaro said.

"Oh no! I'm here to take the last Stand, that's missing in my collection, and kill this traitor, Lacoste!" The man turned around and looked at Daijo. 

"But... I have no Stand!" Daijo replied.

"Oh, you have one! You have the strongest of them all!" the man laughed. Then he laid his hand on Daijo's shoulder.

"What?" the man screamed and pulled his hand back. "How did you managed to..." 

"What's the problem?" Jotaro asked.

"Shut up! What have you done to him?" the man screamed.

"We? We've done nothing!" Kazuhiko replied.

"Well! I will take your Stand another time! For now, i have to go!" the man pressed a button in his ear. "Everyone, to the car! We're leaving!" 

Then he turned around and opened the door. Suddenly a fist hit the back of his head. His head crashed on the door. He turned around.

"Jotaro!" he was standing in front of Jotaro.

"Your sniper left!" Jotaro smiled.

Then the Kage smiled.

"Star Platinum:..." he shouted. "THE WORLD!" 

Jotaro was lying on the floor. Kage managed to defeat him with his own Stand. And what it looked like, he was able to stop time, for at least 2 seconds.

Jotaro's face was covered in blood. Kage was standing in the door, ready to leave.

Daijo grabbed the shoulder of Kage. "Why aren't you killing us?" he asked.

The man smiled. "Doesn't it make it so much more fun for all of us, this way? Oh, and to make a little bit easier for you to find me..."

He trew a card to the floor. Then he dissapeared behind the door. The moment they all heard the door closing, they grabbed the card he trew.

It was a grey card with only one word on it: Kage

"Fast! Give me a pen! Before we forget everything!" Jotaro shouted. Daijo opened a drawer. And grabbed a pen. He gave it to Jotaro.

They heard the door of the car closing. Jotaro was writing as fast as he could. Suddenly he stopped. Then they heard the car driving away.

"What! Why is it so dark? Where is Lacoste?" Joseph asked. "Hermit Purple!" Purple vines appeared around his arm. They made a little purple glow.

"What are you writing Jotaro?" Polnareff asked.

Jotaro looked up. "I... I don't know!" 

He looked down on a grey card, with the word KAGE written on it. Under the word, Jotaro had written something:

Man with glove blond Star Platinum 2sec Kami

"What is this supposed to mean?" Daijo asked.

" I don't know!" Jotaro replied. "Maybe we got attacked by a Stand User."

"You've written 'Man with glove' and 'Star Platinum'. Maybe you meant, that that kid, want to kill us, because it wan't to help the man with the glove and it only plays cute!" Polnareff said.

"But why did i write Kami? No! I think the man with the glove was here!" 

"Do you mean he attacked us?" Daijo asked nervous.

Jotaro nodded.

"But you wrote 'Star Platinum'! It couldn't be that he also has Star Platinum..." Joseph looked completely confused on the card.

"The '2sec' could mean he can stop time for two seconds!" Daijo said.

"But who is he? I don't think Kage is his real name! And Kami too. Why would he tell us his real name..." 

"I don't know! And why are we still alive? And where is that Lacoste? All of that makes no sence!" Joseph said.

Then Kazuhiko summoned Inferno Golem. His burning body lit up the room.

"There is blood!" Joseph said, pointing to the door.

"Maybe it is blood of that Kage or Kami or what ever his name is!" Polnareff said.

"Let's call him Kage!" Kazuhiko said.

The other agreed.

"What were those noises?" they suddenly heard a voice. They turned around. It was Dio.

"Was he here?" he asked. Although he may be a little child, that Dio knew more then he told them. 

"How did you know he will come here?" Joseph asked.

"He said, he will come here, and after that i should help you find him!" Dio answered.

"Why would he do that?" Polnareff was confused.

"I'm getting the feeling more and more that this guy is completely crazy!" Jotaro mumbled.

"And how could you help us?" Kazuhiko asked.

"Well, i may not now his face, because he can change it, but i know some of his abilities and i have a pretty powerful Stand!" 

"How long can you stop time?" Jotaro asked Dio.

"For about one second!" Dio answered.

"That's not enough!" Jotaro replied.

"When you fought the original DIO, you could only stop time for about 5 seconds while he was able to stop time for about 11 seconds!" Joseph looked at Jotaro.

"Yes! But he is just a kid!" 

"Come on! 2 seconds are better then fighting without Star Platinum!" Joseph replied.

The man was sitting in a coffee, across from Daijo's house. Yes, it was dangerous beeing here, the day after he went there and killed a man. But he didn't care.

He was reading newspapers, as always. 

"Interesting..." he mumbled. He was reading a article called Another Joestar.

Of course the article wasn't really printed in the newspapers. But his Stand has manifested him.

'What's his name?' The man searched for the name of that Joestar. 'Josuke Higashikata... I see...'
