Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Going Underground and Wild Side, Part 2

"I... know you guys!" Kali said as one of the thugs punched him in the gut. I... was beating up by these two fellows a few years back for stealing their money. Could this kid's ability be to... no... it couldn't be! "No! Stay the fuck away! I'll bash you's right here, right now!" Kali exclaimed as he raised his fists, getting into a fighting stance. "But it's not your fate to bash us!" The two thugs said.

Kali tried to run away, but he tripped on a Phone charger, wrapping it around his leg, causing him to stay in place. "I-I get it...! I'm up against fate here!" Kali yelled as the thugs started beating the ever loving shit out of him. After a brutal encounter with the thugs, they seemed to turn into a goo like substance, as if their purpose was fulfilled, they need no place in life anymore. Kali ran in the direction to where Jovan crashed his electric scooter.

"Alright kid, I'm about to kill you, so pray while you can." He said to the bloodied Jovan who was laying on the floor with his leg caught on fire. "GOING UNDERGROUND!" Jovan yelled as an entity appeared in front of him. It appeared to be a buff astronaut with a black suit and pitch black helmet. "FOOLISH! WILD SIDE!" Kali yelled back at Jovan as his Stand appeared before him. But 'Going Underground' was faster, punching Kali in the chest and knocking him back a few meters. "A-AAAAUGH! T-THAT FUCKER! I'LL KILL HIM! T-THIS PAIN... IT'S NOTHING I'VE EVER FELT BEFORE!" Kali screamed in pain as he slowly stood up.

+20 Hostility Points

"H-Haha! Tha'ts 30 Hostility Points you got there bucko!" Kali said as a blood clot formed in Jovan's brain. "GYAHAHAHAHAHA! IT'S OVER FOR YOU! I'LL MAKE SURE TO PUT YOU SIX FEET UNDER! YOU'LL DIE WITHIN MINUTES!" Kali yelled, dancing all over the floor with joy as Jovan's vision went blurry. Kali looked around before he uttered " Ah, we're on Myers Street." as Jovan was slowly fading, he managed to stand up barely, walking towards Kali. "Is this some foolish attempt at playing hero? FOOLISH, FOOLISH, FOOLISH, FOOLISH!" He screamed as he walked towards Jovan.

But, to Kali's surprise, as he stepped forward, a mouse trap was set off directly on his foot. "Going Underground, I used my ability to dig through your memory and find a time when you stepped on a mouse trap. But in that memory, you didn't have shoes on while you stepped on the mouse trap, so the mouse trap is destined to hit your skin." Jovan would say as the mouse trap teared through his shoe and made contact with his skin. "A-A..AAAAAUGH... T-THIS FUCKING ABILITY! I'M STARTING T-TO UNDERSTAND IT! I'LL KILL THAT FUCKING CHILD IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!" Kali exclaims as he detatches the mouse trap and started running towards Jovan.

+25 Hostility Points

The blood clot would clear from Jovan's brain as he stood up in relief. "FUCK YES!!! I DID IT! MY STAND ABILITY IS UNPARALLELED!" Jovan exclaims as he gets ready to beat the shit out of Kali. "TAKE THIS, I'LL POUND YOU INTO OBLIVION!" Jovan yells as Kali cuts him off. "Hold on a secm Jovan Joestar. You have 30 Hostility Points before, plus 25 Hostility Points... That means you have 55 Hostility Points all up." Kali says before Jovan's arm would bend in an impossible fashion, curving the punch and missing the target. "A-AAAAAAAH! FUCK!" Jovan exclaims as his right arm bent so far that is snapped in half. "Wild Side, I've won! And I might be going crazy, but did you say you'd pound me into oblivion? My, my... that's a harsh claim, that might be worth at least 20 Hostility Points young man!"

+20 Hostility Points

"Wild Side is invincible! Now remind me, what's 55 + 20, Jovan Joestar? Oh, that's right! It's 75! Great job boy, I'll make sure to make your death extra painful." Kali would say to Jovan as his Stand's final gambit's effects was already kicking in. But Jovan noticed something odd. He noticed that his right arm was still attached to his body. "W-What..? I thought my right arm was chopped off... But that only means... that there's two enemies here...?!" He'd question as the Stand's final effects kicked in. His internal organs started to slow down. His heart, blood, stomach, bladder, brain, they are all slowed down by a ton now.

"KURAAAAAAAAAH!" Kali would yell as his Stand threw a punch at Jovan, knocking him over. But Jovan hadn't processed this yet, he thought he was still observing his right arm. "Yeah, no shit your arm didn't come off. My Stand, Wild Side, may not have the power to chop off someone's arm clean off, but it certianly has the power to exterminate you from existence, Jovan Joestar!" Kali screams as he kicks him several dozen times. At this point, Jovan was starting to feel the effects of the punch the Stand threw at him 30 seconds ago. "W-What's going on...? I feel weird... I feel like something is happening to my body that I can't explain in words..." Jovan mutters as Kali kicks him in the face once more.

"You may not realise it yet Jovan, but I've slowed down your entire body's internal system, including your heart, blood, kidney, stomach, blatter, and most importantly... your brain!" Kali expresses as he unzipped his pants and started peeing on Jovan. "Gyahahahaha! Jovan, your eyes can see me pissing all over you right now, but your brain doesn't process it. You're probably feeling one of the several dozens of kicks I sent you." Kali says as he stops urinating on him and zips his pants back up. Kali's hand would start to flake again. "Ah... this shitty disease..."

-Flashback-

"There is a way to cure this flaking disease." Piccolo uttered, breaking the silence, to which caught Kali's attention. "There is?" Said Kali. "Do acknowledge this in the long run; I am only doing this for you, and you alone. Our organization plans to infect the human population with this disease, and make them feel a fraction of the pain I felt during my childhood." Piccolo replied. "Ah, I see... Sir, may I ask what your childhood was like? Say, was it rough, fortunate, sad, happy, unfortunate?" Kali requested as Piccolo sat up. "Kali, I trust you with all my soul. But I do not reveal personal information, just in case it gets out to the public. You understand, don't you, Kali?" Piccolo declares.

"Anyways, what's the name of this virus, how do you cease it, and how does it operate?" Kali asks. "Well, let's start with the name of the virus. The name of the virus is 'Pythagoras: 2008', also known as 'The Flaking Disease'. Its name originates from the year it was discovered in a snowy mountain, where a bug carried the disease, and one of the explores caught Pythagoras and died a horrible death in the snow after 89 hours of flaking." Piccolo says. "Now, 'how does it operate?' One might ask. Where the disease originated from is unknown, but it carries through a rare species called a 'Tardigrade'. Now, these organisms are indestructable. A team on N.A.S.A sent one to space, and it survived 10 or so days. Usually, Tardigrades are often found in moss, or soil. But when one happens to enter a human body, that's where the disease spreads. And it all goes downhill from there. There is a 78% chance of death once one has caught Pythagoras: 2008." Piccolo says as he rests his arms on the arm rest. "Now, for the moment you've been waiting for. How does one cure Pythagoras: 2008? Well, first of all, one cannot fully cure Pythagoras: 2008, it is only minimized to your skin flaking a little bit. But, for one to cure this disease, one must..."

-Flashback Over-

"And now thanks to this awesome cure, this shitty disease is only a slight inconvenience!" Kali declares as he kicks Jovan in the head with all his might. "Alright." Declares Jovan. "I may not be able to comprehend what you're doing right now, but I'll still show you how tough I am. How much Hostility Points did you say I was at again? Oh yeah, that's right, 75. Unless I haven't gained anymore that I don't know of. So, kill yourself! I'll beat your ass! I'll fucking murder you!" Jovan would say as he silently waited for his punishment. "Jovan... t-this little fucking brat... H-Holy shit... I-I never k-knew this was how my ability worked..." Kali would stutter as he started to sweat. "Did this little fucking cunt seriously learn how to bypass my Stand ability...?!"

-Explanation-

A quick explanation of how Kali Amari's Stand works. Hostility Points. These are an intangible system that functions within the Stand's ability, whoever threatens/hurts the user will experience various effects. Threat: +5 Hostility Points Punch/Kick: +10 Hostility Points 1-25 Hostility Points: Random limb catches fire for a period of time 25-50 Hostility Points: Random blood clot 50-75 Hostility Points: Random broken bone 75-100 Hostility Points: Slows down your internal organs. If someone insults Kali, but does not realise they have done anything wrong, no hostility points will be granted. Therefore, on the 4th effect, Jovan isn't controlling his body, because he doesn't know what's going on, therefore, Jovan can create a loophole and then take the Hostility Points later.

-Explanation Over-

Kali would start to breath heavily before coughing up a concerning amount of blood. "F-Fuck! I-I always cough up blood when I'm under stres... Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK SAKES, DAMN IT!" Kali would scream before shakily reaching his hand inside his pocket and bringing out a silver revolver. "Y-You may be able to find out my Stand's weakness... but are you able to overcome this?" Kali would calmy say as blood dripped from his mouth and onto the gun. "W-When I'm stressed out... my Stand ability usually goes wild and it usually ceases its effects... T-That's how much of a fucking coward I am..." Kali says, revealing the dark side of him that he never shows anyone. "M-My Stand's effects are slowly fading away as we speak... but there's still enough left to keep you in effect. R-Right now, you should be comprehending how I'm about to blast your ass into oblivion, you shit head!"

"May I ask what you're doing to my mate?" An anonymous voice would echo through the street. "Who said that?!" Kali exclaimed as he aimed his gun around the street, trying to find the source of the voice. You could imagine Kali's surprise as he turned back and saw a man, assumed to be 19-20 years old, was crouched next to Jovan. "Well, well, well... I'm gonna have to give you the beating of a lifetime for this incident you've caused here today." The man said as green vines sprung out of the gun and wrapped around Kali's hand, preventing him from pulling the trigger. Behind Kali stood a 6 foot figure, offering to sell him a vaccum cleaner. "Uh, no thanks, sorry Sir- Wait... I know this guy... he's the one who tried to sell me a vaccum cleaner a few months ago! This must be that kid's Stand ability in action... OH WAIT FUCK, I FORGOT ABOUT HIM!" Kali exclaimed as he saw Jovan behind him, who beat him to a bloody pulp.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" Jovan yelled as Kali fell. "You got too stressed to the point your ability was barely working, so I used this opportunity to use my ability on you, making you off guard, therefore your ability being nullified. See, I observed you. When you're under stress, you have to stay concentrated, or else your Stand effects will go away." Jovan explains as he walks over to the mysterious fellow we just got introduced to. "I thought you were punching cones." Says Jovan. "Nah, I was just putting laxatives in the fries at McDonalds 'n' feeding them to seagulls until I heard your bitchass screaming like a little baby. Nyo ho!" The man says, chuckling.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Kali screams as he gets up, letting them both know that he's not finished yet. "Ah, great timing." The man would say as he'd wrap Kali in tree vines. "You're gonna tell us everything we know, 'kaaaaay?" He utters to Kali. "That was great timing you got here, Atlas. I would've died if it weren't for you." Jovan says to Arlas, the man who saved Jovan. "Yeah, yeah, don't mention it. The only reason I came to the rescue was because the fuckin' seagulls were shittin' all over the place, so everyone had to evacuate." Atlas replies, revealling the hidden laxatives he had in his pocket. 2 Minutes later, when they got back to the burger joint. "Hey Chloe, did that fucker hurt you in any way?" Jovan asks Chloe. "Nah, he only yelled at me, so I'm all good. By the way, who's that guy waiting outside the building?" Chloe says to Jovan. "Ah, that's Atlas. He's one of my friends. Come on, I'd like you to meet him." He replies as they both walk out. We then zoom onto Chloe's pinkie finger, which is starting to flake.
