Chap 55: saving a damsel
From his hand, Yellow temperance separate itself and went to Polnale room. That piece will go help Polnale, while he will search the rest of the building.
'I mean, that piece can only do one command, i hope it does it's job.' As for how he will find the stand user, Takichi could wait until the stand was defeated and to find to body of the stand user but that will draw too much attention. So he has to found another way.
'I just need a big microphone.'
---------
"Damn, you !" Shouted Polnale, Silver chariot slashing at random place around the room.
Her being tied down under the bed is a unexpected moved, one moment she was about to face a stand user. The next, they were gone, and now a tiny doll stand is giving her a suprising amount of trouble.
The Tiny stand manuver was like buzzing fly, she can see it but she's having trouble being able to make a good cut in. She throught it was just a normal dol until it came to life and hack at her heel.
Slashing left and right, her fast and percision is usless when she is unable to see. Turning to slash in a complete arc around, which interrupt the doll dive down attack, it made her miss a knife cut.
"Kkekekek, you shitty woman. How dare you attack me, now my stand Ebony devil will slice you to pieces." The sqeacky voice coming from the doll said.
'Screw it, i need to free myself first.' She order Silver chariot to cut the cord that was used to tie her wirst and feet. Once the cord was cut, she push her back up to flip the bed over along with the stand.
"Now, face me." The small devil din't hesitate to pounce on her stand, Silver chariot.
Ebony devil open it's small mouth, revealing razor shapr teeth inside. Silver chariot rapier already had her sharp end aim for it's head when it when in the air.
*clang*
Hitting her weapon mid-air, the doll teeth clash with her rapier and spun out of the path of her blade.
"Kekekeke, you missed."
The doll was inches from Polnale neck when a blob of Yellow sprung up, catching Enbony devil and Polnale by suprise.
"What the, what is this crap." Confused, Enbony try shaking the slimmy substance off. But it only gets more tangle with her own doll body.
*iek* "it's burn, hey call your stand off."
"This isn't my stand, but i'll say this is what you get for trying to mess with me. A slow and painfull death."
Polnale watch as the doll was slowly engulf in Yellow temperance. It's eye turning white, the dol body melted into the slime body.
Polnale was clueless until she remember Avadol words. "Wait, non human-noid, yellow,...you're Takichi stand, Correct ?"
Her eyes follow behind the stand as it exit the room and going to where she presume is his location.
--------
Opening her eyes quickly, Deva the devil jolted from the searing pain of that stand.
'Damn, i din't think i have to escape the doll body.' She didn't have any idea who was it that attack her.
Out of nowhere aswell, and more infuriatingly she almost had her. So close to killing one of the target, and she was interupted.
'Great, now i have to wait until the next opening.' She was about to got up to walk out of the hotel.
"D̸i̵o̶ ̶s̷e̵r̴v̵a̵n̶t̷,̷ ̸s̷h̸o̷w̵ ̶y̶o̵u̷r̴s̵e̸l̴f̷.̷" a voice rang across her ear.
Hearing it, something forces Deva body to move on it's own. She felt her own body compelled to do what this voice said. So, following the voice Deva body walk like a puppet on mixed strings to an open courtyard. It was realatively quiet, no one came by but she can feel her body became her own again.
When she found out who did this to her she going to kill them, her mind is opperating thinking that this person must be stupid, commanding her out here to meet.
"Y̶o̴u̵ ̷w̸h̵o̷ ̶w̷o̴r̷k̸ ̵f̸o̶r̴ ̸d̶i̵o̸ ̴r̴a̵i̵s̴e̷ ̷y̶o̵u̵r̵ ̸h̷a̷n̶d̴." Reluctantly, she was forces to do what that voice said again.
She was unaware of Yellow temperance on a balcony a floot above her, it detach from Takichi arm and fall right on top of her the moment she gain free movement to her body. Her vision turn black as something fell ontop of her, slowly she began to feel a similar burning sensation.
Her freedom came as fast as it ended, without a fight, and she wasn't able to do anything about it.

By the time someone would pass by here, she would've been eaten up conpletly, Takichi walk away with out turning his head back. His stats point being raised is a good indicator of Enbony's death.
Trying his best to act casual, Takichi entering is room without a hitch. He breath a sigh of relief once his back is fell into the comfort a chair. Breaking into hotel security is a hassle he won't be doing again.
Too much groping guards, and convincing them wasn't a problem with his curse speech. He just told them to forget ever meeting him and to delete any footage of him going outside his room.
The other piece found it's way back to his room, slipping under the door easily and return to him. Yellow temperence gain more mass again, now being it hold a volume to cover half his body.
-------
"So, from here we'll head to straight to cairo. Everyone grab a seat, this flight is going to be a long one." As the oldest, Josane have to remind them again.
Days later, the gang planned to leave for using a plane to continue on their journey again.
Jojo already have her headphones muffle the sound of the airplane, the rest were either asleep or reading or playing old school video through the screen on the plane.
Takichi suppose he'd relish in this pocket of silence in a metal tin can of people. Unless there's someone to ruin that.
"monsieur, how lucky it is for us to be right next to each other, chanceux pour moi." Polnale said, a jovial tone and a smile spread acrosd her face.
'Ah, crap.'
