You waited for Secco to move so you could see what he was planning and your ears picked up on sirens and yelling from people. You saw the flashing lights of ambulances and people helping people that had been affected by the mold.

Mista and Giorno did it. They got rid of that stand user.

A small smile appeared on your lips, and just like your last smile it vanished and you glanced back at Secco. He was looking around.

"C-Cioccolata, why isn't the mold working?!"

You looked at Secco and watched as he listened to a voice message. He was almost fully above ground by down and you watched the emotions in his eyes.

He was slouched over and his shoulders were shaking, he sounded like he was going to cry. You swallowed, feeling uneasy about his behavior.

"Cioccolata! You piece of shit!"

Your eyes widened from his sudden switch from sadness to aggression and Secco chucked the phone at a wall. Causing it to break.

"I thought were strong so I listened to you, so I would be safe."

He spat on the video camera and started yelling at it like it was Cioccolata himself.

"But you're weak! You lost!"

His grip tightened on the camera and it turned to liquid in his hand. The mud spraying and falling onto the ground.

"You're disgusting!"

It was unsettling to watch and your grip tightened on the metal pole. You were prepared for him to charge at you but instead, he muttered something about a secret and the boss and darted his way toward the coliseum.

Your breath caught and your eyes held panic.

He knows about the coliseum! He's going to stop Bucciarati or meet the man from the computer!

"Ocean Man!"

You called out your stand before he could get out of your range and Ocean Man sprayed a concentrated line of acid at him. Secco looked over his shoulder and dodged, the line of acid hit a stone pillar and burned its way clean through. He responded by kicking the stone right back at you and your eyes widened.

You ducked down to dodge it while Ocean Man punched it, the broken-up rocks fell on your back and you could feel the bruises forming.

"Hey, doesn't coliseum sound like "kill them" in Japanese?"

You looked at him, breaking into a cold sweat as he looked at you, waiting for an answer.

"I chose to learn English not Japanese, s-so I can't say it does."

"Not so smart now, maybe you can learn it when you start third grade."

Oh my god.

"I thought I'd ask before I killed you, just to show you how truly stupid you are!"

He looked at you with crazy eyes and you self yourself start to sink into the ground.

Yes, yes yes yes! Now that the mold guy is gone, I can move underground without worrying about growing mold.

He came rushing at you and you grabbed the metal pole, he wasn't pulling you under fully so you had to get out of his reach before he did.

You pulled yourself up and swung around, attempting to kick him and he looked at you, shaking from annoyance and still wearing the crazy eyes.

"You're annoying, j-just like a seven year old. Did you know that? It makes sense if y-y-you're nine."

Oh my-

The signpost you were on was sinking and you held onto it tightly.

"Whatever! It doesn't matter. I'm faster and stronger than you. I'm ending you here and now!"

He hit his elbow against the ground, using the recoil to make the lunch stronger and faster. Ocean Man sliced the pole you were on diagonally and the sharp point started falling towards him, planning on stabbing him.

He used one hand to push the sharp end of the pole away and Ocean Man used its fist to counter his, but because of the recoil, his punch had more force and set you flying back. You crashed into a cafe window and the glass shattered, shards of glass lodging themselves into your arms, acting like splinters and drawing blood as you fell to the ground.

"You know how to think fast, surprising coming from a twelve year old.

Are you doing this on purpose?

He started walking to you and looked down at you.

"You dodged again, just barely though. You don't be able to keep it up."

Ocean Man let acid run down your arms to dissolve the glass shards in your skin. You reached over your shoulder to pull a larger shard out cleanly and you saw something catch the light.

Secco saw this too and you both looked at it, it came from to coliseum.

"Did you... did you see that just now?"

He looked at you.

"What do you think that is?"

You swallowed thickly while still on the ground. Ocean Man was gone and the cuts from the glass were still bleeding.

"It's shining- Wait! Something just hid into the shadows. I saw it- someone's there! It's the guy you're planning on seeing isn't it?!"

You didn't know how to respond and he didn't give you a chance to.

"He was sitting in a chair or something, maybe a wheelchair... is he disabled?"

How can he see that?

Secco looked back down at you and you were slowly standing up.

"I'm still going to get rid of you first!"

He threw a punch at you and you stumbled into cafe through the already broken window, dodging his punch and looking at him. Your heart was racing and your blood went hot with adrenalin.

Ocean Man... we don't exactly need to stop him... we only need to stall him until Bucciarati can meet whoever is at the coliseum. We don't have a way to go underground ourselves... we need to get him to drag us under...

"You must be good at swimming with your stand, I bet I'm better."

This seemed to set him off, which was your plan. Not the best plan, but a plan.

"How dare you! I'll show you just how weak you and your ugly stand are!"

You dropped underground and you felt him dive under. Ocean Man grabbed you and started racing through the water and away from the coliseum without hesitation. If you could lead him away then everyone could get there before he could.

You were gripping onto Ocean Man's shoulders and it concentrated on out swimming Secco. You could see where you were going but it was only darkness and mud ahead of you.

He's following us and getting close, it's the disruption in the ground that's giving up our position, just like it would in water.

You looked over your shoulder and you spotted a water pipe.

"Ocean Man."

With Secco -

Secco was swimming after you, dead set on ending your three year old life.

"20 meters...10 meters... 5 meters..."

He was counting down the distance before he would reach you. When he did, he didn't find you, he found a cut water pipe leaking water.

"Stupid little brat!"

He hit the water pipe harshly and bent it so the water stopped running. He was following the sound of the water pipe not you, that just let you get away for a while longer.

"This shows your desperate... because you know how slow your stand truly is. You know you're going to lose!"

With you -

The ground around you started to get harder and Ocean Man resulted to using its acid spit to dissolve it and make it easier to swim through.

You stopped Ocean Man when you started hearing a different noise than swimming.

What's th-

Your thought was cut off when something sharp hit the back of your shoulder and went out the other side.

You slapped a hand to your mouth to stop your scream and sharp pain was coming from your shoulder.

Whatever it was it didn't go too far after hitting you and you saw what it was from Ocean Man's light. It was a rock. A piece of rock that was long and sharp like a spear.

You heard more coming and turned to look up, Ocean Man, without warning pushed you further down and started spraying acid, making a thick layer of it above you and making sure it was above you but not on you.

It dove down to you and sprayed more acid above to make the layer thicker and pushed you down further. Then stopping and staying completely still while doing the same. Your heart was pounding and you held your shoulder that was bleeding and staining your shirt. You were holding your breath and trying to ignore the unbearable pain.

Stones just knives started raining down and your eyes widened. You expected to be stabbed by the oncoming rocks but once they reached the layer of acid they dissolved.

You remained unmoving and looked up at the scene above you frightfully. You wouldn't be able to hold your breath for much longer and watching the sharpened rocks coming straight at you was scary. Being stabbed once with a jagged sharp rock hurt alone, but thousands would cause unimaginable pain.

The liquid ground was diluting the acid and making it weaker. It took longer for the rocks to dissolve into nothing and some made it through the layer of Ocean Man's spit but at been slowed down and dulled.

You looked up at Ocean man that was floating above you and looking at you.

Why haven't I thanked you yet?

You knew you had to move soon before the acid stopped working.

I haven't thanked you for anything, have I?

You looked at it and dulled rocks start to hit Ocean Man's back which you felt.

You've saved me countless times and have come out to save me even when I haven't called for you.

The rocks started to feel sharper and you couldn't hold your breath for longer, you only had a handful of seconds left.

Thank you, Ocean Man.

Ocean Man flipped and you grabbed onto its shoulders again, it sprayed more acid and hit the rocks off course so you wouldn't be hit. Ocean Man darted away and you made it outside the line of fire. Not before you got a few more scrapes and cuts from the rocks.

You knew he was catching up, and you had lost track of what direction you were headed in. Due to your lack of oxygen, you were getting weaker, which caused Ocean Man to be weaker and you were becoming slower.

Ocean Man went up so you could catch your breath and took the opportunity to cut up a lamp post with its compact spray of acid. The pieces fell into the ground and confused Secco and you were gasping for air.

You made the mistake of going back under and making a sudden movement. You saw a wave of pavement headed towards you with Ocean Man's light, once it hit you solid pieces of rock that were broken from the wave above surface started falling it the ground. Objects like cars and signposts sinking as well.

You spotted Secco and he looked at you, but he wasn't making eye contact, just looking at you.

He can't see me... he only knows where I am from my movements.

Your eyes darted around and you looked for a way to get out faster than he could reach you. He rushed at you and you darted out of the way.

"You can't see me can you? You rely on your hearing."

You spoke but regretted it as you lost some air. Secco snapped his head in your direction and rushed at you, trying to hit you again but you only dodge again.

"Shut up, dumbass! Wait no... shut up, smartass!"

You weren't able to get your breathing back to normal in the short time you were above ground and you were losing your breath faster.

"I know how to beat you now."

You covered your mouth and lost more air,

"You aren't strong enough to beat me! You're too close to run and we can't play cat and mouse forever!"

You dodged Secco again and you saw how visibly angry he was. By dodging you made your way to a car that had sunk into the ground, you had purposefully made your way over to it.

"This time, stay down."

You used the rest of your lasting air and Ocean Man thew you above ground and came up after you, making sure both of your heads were above ground before it kicked one of the car tires hard enough to make it burst.

Underground Secco's eardrums exploded and started bleeding. The force of the pressurized air being released pushed your body out of the ground and Ocean Man went with you.

Ocean Man caught you before you could fall back into the ground and you watched Secco come above ground only for his legs to be run over.

Ocean Man set your down on the sidewalk and faded into you. You didn't look away from Secco and watch him dodging cars and screaming. He jumped out of the way of a truck and he fell onto the sidewalk in front of you.

"Wh-Where am I?! What did she do to me?!"

He spotted you and you looked down at him.

"Your stand lets you swim through the ground like it's water, now that your sense of hearing is gone you've lost your rada-"

"I-I know! You're planning to destroy my eardrums aren't you?!"

Right... he can't hear me.

"Y-You're only sox ! Your plan won't work!"

A smiled smile spread across your lips.

Still wrong, but it's fine.

You started walking towards him and he started crawling back.

"Stay away! Stay the hell away from me!"

His ears were still bleeding and you caught your breath and your breathing returned to normal.

"You keep getting my age wrong. You aren't good at remembering things or listening, are you?"

Ocean Man separated from you.

"Because each time I tell you to stay down, you don't listen."

Ocean Man grabbed him by his neck and held him up. He was squirming and kicking, trying to get out of your stand's grip while screaming and yelling.

"Stay down."

Ocean Man tightened its grip and you heard a snap while looking into Secco's eyes. Ocean Man tossed Secco to the side and Secco landed in a garbage truck just in time for the back to close on him.

Ocean Man floated to you and stayed in front of you. Both of you only looking at each other until you slowly put your arms around it and hugged it.

"Thank you."
