Chapter 8: Change of Fate Part 1

I stepped out of the shadows and approached my brother, just as I did in the original script. With tears in my eyes, I spoke the same lines that my predecessor did.

 

"Aniki, I think we should stop this." 

I pointed my open palm at our father, whilst keeping my eyes trained on my brother’s face. "His feelings and memories are still there. His SOUL is still there. If there is a chance we can save him, why don't we try?!" I pleaded with him.

 

As I spoke, I slowly closed the distance between us. 

 

At this point I hadn't changed anything. I knew this wasn’t the right moment yet. I still needed to play a role. 

 

However, I did make one small change to the original script, unlike in the manga, when I reached Keicho, I grabbed onto the arrow, not the bow. I held on and pulled. 

 

At the same time, I summoned my stand. It was intangible, and nearly invisible because it was hiding inside of me. It was imperceptible, even to my brother, who was now looking straight at me with anger in his eyes.

 

I stared into his cold, agitated eyes and struggled against him. In terms of physical strength, we were pretty much equally matched. But my brother was injured, so the arrow was slowly coming out of his grasp. 

 

“I won’t let it end like this-” he said, among other things. In the scuffle, he cursed at me, belittled my intelligence, and finally disowned me as his brother.

 

I didn’t pay much attention to anything my brother said in anger. I understood that he was overwhelmed by his emotions. I knew not to take his words to heart. 

 

I would save him, because no matter how hurtful his words were, no matter how many times he denied it, to me he was my brother. At the end of the day, that was all that mattered

 

Instead, I kept my mind focused on the plot, and my plans to alter it. 

 

However, while me and my brother were ‘discussing things’ a shadow suddenly fell over the room. 

 

Josuke immediately tilted his head upwards and asked us a question "Uhh. Is there another member of your family I don't know about?" 

 

'This is it, the moment I've been waiting for.' I thought. Time itself seemed to slow down as I kept my eyes wide open, ready for anything. 

 

Just as in the original story, the electrical outlet behind me started flashing with electricity. Obviously, since it was behind me, I couldn’t actually see it, but I already knew what would happen next. I was ready for it. 

 

"No, it's only the three of us," I said blankly in response to Josuke. I continued to scuffle with my brother, whilst keeping my mind focused on what was happening behind me.  

 

Keicho immediately noticed something was wrong. Just as he had in the manga. 

 

His reaction was quick! He lunged forward and threw a punch at me. "OKUYASU YOU IDIOT!" He shouted, as he launched his attack.

 

In the original story, immediately after he knocked me away with a punch, a yellow fist pierced through his abdomen. It impaled him, burned him, then it pulled him away from me.

 

The next time I would see him, I would only find a charred corpse. He saved my life, at the cost of his own. 

 

The important thing to note here, is that this attack was originally aimed at me. So, I was now in the best position to intercept it.

With that in mind, I planned to take the attack head on, with the power of my stand. 

 

I ducked to the side causing my brother's fist to harmlessly fly past me. Meanwhile, my stand, The Hand, was already fully solidified behind me, and its arms were crossed in a guard, ready to block the attack coming from behind me. 

 

Everything happened in a flash. 

 

*Boom* A sound not too different from a gunshot rang out in the room.

 

I felt a strong impact hit me from both the front and back. From the front, I received the feedback of blocking an attack with my stand. Since The Hand is much stronger, and has greater durability than me, I let it take the brunt of the attack with a guard. 

 

However, As I said earlier, a stand and its user are soul bound. Any damage a stand receives, the user will also receive. (Well, it isn't always the case for every stand and their user, but in my case it was definitely true.) Even though my stand was tough, it was not invincible.

 

As a result, both my arms were bruised pretty badly, despite the fact that they hadn't directly come into contact with the attack. This was the resulting feedback. 

 

Though, that wasn't the full extent of the damage. From behind, I felt the kinetic force of the blow, transferred to me by my own stand being pushed back against me. 

 

After all, in its most solid form it was best able to protect me, but that meant that it could also physically interact with the world around it, including me, and I was standing directly behind it.  

 

Thankfully, the attack didn't break through my stand's defense. My body was still intact, and my internal organs weren’t splattered across the room. But it was still powerful enough to knock the wind out of me and push me off balance. 

 

After successfully blocking the attack, I fell forwards and landed into Keicho's arms. He froze like a statue. His expression was filled with shock. He couldn't have expected me both to have known about the attack on my blind spot, and still be able to properly guard against it.  

 

Before he could properly react, I quickly steadied myself and turned around with the arrow in hand. (I managed to take it from him, while he was still processing everything that happened just now.) 

I took a breath, and faced my enemy.

 

In front of me, stood a short yellow humanoid creature. Its body was flashing with electric yellow streaks running up and down its bright yellow skin.

 

Its skull resembled a Pachycephalosaurus, but it had a bird’s beak for a mouth. Additionally, it had a long lizard-like tail that stretched out past its legs. 

 

Its miniscule body was packed to the brim with muscle, so much, that even though it had a childlike stature, it looked like a full grown adult. This was it! This was Red Hot Chili Pepper. 

 

I could see astonishment in its big red eyes, as it stared back down at its unexpectedly empty fist. Just like Keicho, it probably hadn't expected me to react to its surprise attack. 

 

However, the creature's shocked expression did little to diminish its imposing presence. I felt a chill run down my spine as I stared at it. 

 

When it noticed my stare, It quickly regained its composure, shook the dust from its hand, and stood up with a confident smirk. 

 

"Hm…it seems that attack just now was too predictable…Well whatever, I came here for the Stand Arrow. You WILL give it to me. Now!" It arrogantly demanded. I noticed it’s voice sounded like that of a young man's. 

 

I wasn't familiar with the man, or his voice, but I knew who it was, after all I'd already foreseen everything. Still, it wasn't like that knowledge would help me in this situation. In fact, it probably hindered me. 

 

I felt fear and panic overtake me as I realized something. something I'd purposely ignored when I was planning all of this.  I've already seen the future. That meant, that I've already seen myself lose to this guy.
