The Stars That Guide Us ~ A Jotakak x Reader Fanfic

"No! Dammit!" Jotaro growled as the Stag Beetle withdrew its tongue and quickly thrusting it out again, this time aiming for Star Platinum's mouth.

"Jotaro, look out!" I gasped before summoning Scarlet Phantom to my side. "Scarlet Phantom! Now!" Scarlet Phantom's body-length scythe materialized in her hand and swung it in front of Star Platinum to block the incoming attack. The Stand's tongue clanged onto the blade of Scarlet Phantom's scythe like metal hitting metal. Jotaro's eyes widened in shock as soon as he realized that I had just saved him.

"Y/N's Stand blocked the attack just in the nick of time!" Joseph cheered.

"It's just as I feared. It went after Jotaro's tongue." Avdol frowned. "It's him. Represented by the Tower card of the tarot. Symbolizing calamity and the interruption of a journey. This Stand is called Tower of Gray."

"The tower of what?" I grunted as the Stand's tongue tried to push against Scarlet Phantom's scythe.

"Tower of Gray is responsible for countless mass murders which he made to look like unfortunate accidents. The plane crash last year in England that caused over 300 deaths was likely his work. And how many more have there been over the years? I'd heard rumors, but to think he's teamed up with DIO," he continued.

Jotaro's gaze met mine and without having to say anything to me, I knew he wanted me to have his back. I nodded and Scarlet Phantom withdrew her scythe. In an instant, Star Platinum started punching at the Stag Beetle at an intense speed, shouting "ORA!" with every punch made. Even with the amount of fast punches that would be deemed as unmissable, it didn't make a scratch on the enemy Stand.

"It dodged that attack too! Not just from a single hand, but it also dodged a two-fisted barrage of blows!" Avdol exclaimed, his eyes wide in horror.

An evil chuckle suddenly came from the Stand. "Even if you had ten guns to shoot bullets from one centimeter away, they would not be able to touch my Stand. Not that you could kill a Stand with a gun anyway. You're all gonna die with the rest of these weaklings!" I clenched my jaw in annoyance.

"This cocky little bastard is starting to get on my nerves," I growled as I unleashed Scarlet Phantom on the insect. The red-haired Stand spun her scythe in her hands as fast as Star Platinum could punch, and lunged at the enemy only to miss by less than a centimeter. "You bastard!" I growled again as I prepared to launch another attack. Before I got the chance, I felt a hand grip on my shoulder, causing me to look over my shoulder to see that it is was Jotaro holding me back from going after the Stand.

"Don't do anything rash, Y/N. We still haven't learned how to defeat him yet," he said in a stern tone. I sighed and recalled my Stand.

"Didn't I already tell you? No matter what you do, you won't be able to touch my Stand!" The voice coming from the Stand cackled again, clearly trying to taunt me. Jotaro squeezed my shoulder tightly to remind me of his warning. I relaxed a little to show him that I understood, but I wasn't going to let my guard down in case of an unexpected attack.

Suddenly, the Stand disappeared. I clenched my jaw, starting to get really irritated with this Stand and it's hiding tactics.

Through the blood pounding in my ears, I was able to make out the faint sound of buzzing. Instantly, I began to scan the cabin in a manic search for the enemy.

"Heads up, it's over there now," I heard Nori warn. I glanced back at the redhead to see that he was looking towards the back of the cabin. My gaze followed his and fell onto the Stag Beetle once again. I resisted every urge to pounce on that damned beetle like a predator catching its prey.
