Style 4: Chapter 3: Cabinet Man

Unita started to move swiftly, Georgo saw them pull something out but didn't realize it was in fact a gun, Unita slip the gun around in their hands, it started to spin through the air until it lowered and Unita grabbed the gun, and quickly shot themself through the head, That was when Georgo finally realized it was a gun. “I think they just killed themself!” yelled Georgo, Police yelled back “It could be a setup for their Stand, don't think this is over”. Georgo saw Unita’s body fall to the ground, but the bullet… Georgo couldn't see where the bullet had gone, Georgo knew that if he made a wrong move it could kill him, that's the nature of almost all Stand battles, So he refrained from checking if the bullet was lodged in Unita’s head. Georgo decided to use his hearing, the Yacht was swaying a little bit, so if the bullet was outside of Unita’s body he would be able to hear it rolling around, either that or it would be in the water, Georgo listened and did indeed hear it, but he couldn't see it. It seemed unnatural to Georgo, that he couldn't see it, wherever it was it would have to be moving in a pattern where he could see it, Georgo looked all around, still without walking about the area, he looked directly behind him and saw something rolling, but it was rolling on the wall, not on the floor, and it wasn't the bullet, but a coin, Georgo knew that for a coin to be moving along the wall it would probably be a Stand, Georgo tested to see if he could activate Bedrock Anthem, And indeed he could, the vulture like stand manifested behind Georgo. This was definitely a Stand, Georgo started to inspect the coin, still without touching it, he carefully turned around fully with his legs, The Coin was rolling, but not because of the Yachts movements, It was getting faster and faster, what at first seemed like normal rolling now looked and sounded so fast that it clearly was not. Georgo noticed that the coin was starting to cut through the wall, this was the reason for its movement, It was drilling through! The coin seemed similar to a magnet. It clearly has a goal it's moving towards in the mind of Georgo, But Georgo couldn't recognize what that goal was. “It may be moving in order to get to the room that Police is in” Georgo thought, Georgo tried to remember all that the room contained, chairs, the table, the wrong door, Police himself, Georgo thought “It probably isn't after Police, It would probably be after me as well if it wanted him, I don't see why it would want to go into the empty room, But this is a pretty big Yacht, it seems like there are a bunch of little rooms like this, it might be going for the one located behind the one Police is in, I need Police to direct me to the area, If I get lost im at risk, but opening the door would allow the Coin to move faster towards its goal, We could be in much bigger trouble if it makes it there, so I can't open the door, So my only choice is to yell through and ask Police for directions”. Police did what he saw as the best choice “Police! How do I get to the room behind this one!” Police anxiously spoke loudly “there is a door on the other side of the room you are in, the one with the open spots looking out at the sea on the right, Move through there, then on the outside there is another door a little ways next to it on the left, run through there and turn at the end and you will be behind here” Georgo started running immediately, He went out the door of the first room, turned, went through the second door outside, making sure to close each door, then he ran through the final stretch, and turned, and, finally saw it. It was a coin operated phone booth, Georgo thought “This has to be the Coins goal, it wants to insert itself in the slot, but after that I have not Idea what happens, the Coin was moving so fast now, that it was finally through the first wall, Police screamed in terror as it flew through, barely missing him, The Coin lodged itself into the second barrier now, Georgo put out the arms of Bedrock Anthem in front of him, hoping that he could stall the coin by sacrificing his own body, Georgo tried to think of solutions “My Bedrock Anthem is an ability based around electricity, I might be able to use magnetism to change the path of the coin, I can tell that it's attracted to the Phone booth’s slot, It must have a unique charge, and intelligent charge that moves it towards coin slots, which it will use to activate something greater, but the coin is still made of metal, and so is the railing on the wall!, I can use Bedrock Anthem to make the railing a magnet!” Georgo stretched Bedrock Anthem to its limits of Range and touched the railing, infusing it with a magnetic pull! The Coin started to tilt until it was in the middle of both the Payphone slot, and the railing. Georgo could hear it at that spot, But he still felt unsafe, “If the Coin drills through it’s going to end up at the phonebooth one way or another, my only chance is to move the booth itself to attach it to the railing!” thought Georgo, He started to charge up electricity within the feet of and hands of Bedrock Anthem, and then “Doradoradoradoradoradoradoradora!” punched a hole in the floor, the phonebooth sunk down into the water, Georgo fell back, injured hands and feet, covered in blood and burns from electricity, The coin was now dominantly attracted to the railing! Georgo saw the change movements, now seeming confused, it was moving slower, Georgo thought “it isn't sure if what it was being attracted to was a coin slot or not!” The coin then began to move faster than ever before, it burst right through the wall, Georgo’s arm was cut right through by the coin, which was now attached to the railing, but it wasn't still! The coin started to drill through the railing with incredible speed, Georgo smashed each side of the railing with Bedrock Anthem “Dora!” he grabbed onto the smaller piece of the railing with the coin on it, and ran out the door, then back into the room where he first saw Unita, “Get out of there Police!” yelled Georgo, Police came running out of the door, “Where are the nearest coin slots, other than the phone booth” said Georgo, Police replied “There is an arcade here at the Yacht club” Georgo responded “This coin is trying to get to a slot, if it finds one we could be in big trouble, It seems to be attracted to the nearest one, right now the nearest ones are far away, so its stuck to this railing I magnetized, It’s drilling through the railing so fast now! It’s destroying the entire thing!, It will keep at it until it gets free, and then it will tear through everything in its path until it finds a slot!”. The coin started to spin so fast it turned the entire railing to dust, it started to tear through the wall, and in the blink of an eye it was already done and had started on the railing, Georgo jumped through the hole and screamed with Bedrock Anthem activated “Doradoradoradoradoradoradoradora!” he cried, sparks of electricity become flames, incredibly hot, as the metal railing and the coin became one, Georgo finally noticed now the coin’s true structure, it was not plain, because it clearly showed the face of Unita Carne, and he also saw seams and creases, as if the coin was incredibly flooded from flat metal, and as the coin melted Georgo realized that, this coin was the missing bullet, just in a new form. The railing’s metal covered the coin’s, and Georgo flew back, with a final “Doradoradoradora!” barrage to the Yachts wall, Georgo grabbed onto the cracks in the wall as he flew backwards, the wall and railing with the coin in it fused to the wall now flew backwards, Now in horrible condition Georgo, got up off of the ground and ran, Police followed after, the two of them jumped out of the Yacht and onto the bridge, Georgo looked back and saw that the chunk of wall was vibrating, “That awful coin is about to burst out from the rest of the metal and fly out!” thought Georgo as he guarded himself with Bedrock Anthem. Georgo yelled “Police, I need you to take this”, Georgo pulled out a small badge and handed it to Police “The nature of Stand battles is one of self sacrifice, If you want to survive this, be willing to lose your hands”, Georgo ran off while a shocked and confused Police held onto the badge, which Georgo had magnetized.  Georgo ran grabbing a map off of the visitors center as he passed it, he checked it for directions to the arcade, and turned to his left running directly towards it, he saw on his way the power lines connecting to the arcade, Georgo jumped up and down “Dora!” he cut through the lines and charged them with extreme electricity, an extreme and ridiculous amount, It was incredibly painful, but Georgo stayed true to his philosophy, he kept going, putting great amounts of electricity into the power lines, until he heard the coin flying behind him, Georgo looked behind for just a second and saw, that the coin was absolutely covered in blood, Georgo briefly smiled before remembering the terrible situation, Georgo started to build up as much saliva in his mouth as possible, until he finally spit it out onto his hands, he grabbed the power cord even more now, now fully using his own body to conduct the electricity, Most people would let out the sounds of pain if such horror had befallen their body, but Georgo made a different noise, as the physical form of Bedrock Anthem manifested behind him, “Doradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradoradora!” Bedrock anthem’s punches knocked the coin back just slightly with each hit, allowing Georgo enough time to finally stop putting electricity into the wires, Georgo looked behind, and if anyone had seen him in that moment, they would have seen a very particular look in his eyes, the fire of determination that kept him alive through his entire life up to this point, Georgo spoke as he continued to rapidly punch the coin away ever so slightly, “3… 2… 1…” Georgo stopped punching and fell over on the ground, finally allowing him the slightest bit of rest from the pain, he watched as the coin flew over his head, and into the arcade, “0…” and then Georgo flew through the air, heat filled the air as a horrible loud noise came from behind Georgo. At first Georgo was blinded, but when he was finally able to see, he saw that there was now nothing where the arcade had been, he pulled himself over to the end of the bridge, and looked underwater, nothing, It was gone, “The coin!” Georgo thought, he looked everywhere, he listened for its vibration, but he couldn't hear it, Georgo screamed in pain as he managed to stand up on his feet, He tried to activate Bedrock Anthem to see if the other stand was still active, but it wouldn't activate, The coin was gone. Georgo fell back onto the ground, and cried, he finally had a reprieve from the fight.

The truth of the matter is that Georgo and Police never knew what potential that Coin had, It could have had no effect, or it could have destroyed everything, but they let themselves suffer torturous pain to make sure that it did not kill them, Georgo wants to be a great artist someday, if he died here he would never get there, that is where the fire of determination comes from true power is when for your goals you are pleased to endure the pain that comes with it.
