[Quest] Stand Proud - Finished

“No…! No, no, no!” Emily cried out, backing away from the group--and especially far away from Yuuki’s new Stand.
“I will not… I cannot be denied fate itself! No matter how powerful your Stand is, I’ll spill your guts and take whatever’s left of the arrow for myself, even if I have to cut you all open to get it! You’re finished!”
Emily took a quick few steps forward, planting her foot firmly in the asphalt and twisting to the left of Yuuki, while the blade of the scimitar flung itself horizontally towards the neck of the highschooler. And yet… Yuuki didn’t resist. He couldn’t even react before Anubis was embedded inches within the side of his neck, blood gushing out, then cleaved his head off with just a tiny bit more force. Before anyone could process what had happened, the body completely disappeared, along with his newly evolved Stand. Even Emily seemed disoriented, as Anubis was just as stainless as ever, not a drop of blood coating the blade.
She shook her head and scoffed.
“H-Hah…! I suppose his Stand didn’t offer him anything more except a slight increase to his existing powers, yet even that was no match for me… Anubis, the true ruler of the dead!”
Yet, in the far corner of the battlefield, Mista stood completely unimpressed. The gunslinger swiftly unloaded his revolver’s cylinder into the self-proclaimed God of Death. For once, everyone actually saw his tricks in action. Like nasty, golden fairies, the Sex PIstols zipped about atop their respective bullets, then redirecting them with quick kicks towards Anubis.
This time, however, the Stand was fully prepared, as Emily turned heel, twisting the sword so the flat of the blade was facing forward and effortlessly halting them in their tracks.
“Do you really think you can just defeat me by using the same tricks over and over? Are you really that dense, gunslinger?!”
Kobayashi’s attempt was just as futile as she’d anticipated, with her kick being easily parried.
“No matter what Stand you’ve acquired, you’re all going to die, all just as quickly as your ally before you!”
“Are you sure about that?”
Behind Emily was Yuuki, his head firmly attached to his neck as if it had never left. Behind him was the transformed Deep Purple, plain for all those with newly found Stands to see. Emily froze as Yuuki’s Stand grabbed ahold of her wrist, squeezing it with all its newfound might.
- A few seconds ago… -
I laid there in awe as my Stand changed right before my eyes. It wasn’t just its appearance, something else was different too. No doubt it had gotten stronger, but it wasn’t obvious how. I didn’t have to think about that for long, though, I knew that I didn’t have to think anymore once I felt the sharp blade of Anubis stuck in the side of my neck. It had finally struck me at that point that I’d lost. I had lost this fight, but surprisingly. I didn’t feel angry at all. I couldn’t feel anything anymore. I closed my eyes and wondered if this was what it felt like to be dying right before my head came off.
At least, it should’ve come off. When I opened my eyes, everything seemed to be moving in reverse. It started to feel that way too when Anubis pulled itself out from my neck. It was a strange sensation, having a huge gash in my neck heal itself. It was like slowly tearing off a band-aid, if that made sense. I was starting to understand what was happening, as attacks aimed at Anubis were moving back towards the attackers.
I stood up and watched the world around me move backward, it was like rewinding your favorite VHS tape. As I positioned myself behind Emily, I let out a breath and a purple haze came flowing out of my mouth like cigarette smoke. And just like that, time started to move forward, attacks made their way to Emily and Anubis swung at the space where my neck used to be.
My new Stand was allowing me to cheat death. It was rewinding time to back before I died... A new(ish) Stand meant a new name. Deep Purple Requiem. It wasn’t the most creative name, but it’d do.

“I have to admit, if I had never fought DIO and his The World, I’d say you were definitely the most irritating Stand I’d ever met. I can see how Jotaro and Polnareff might have had a hard time with you.”
Try as hard as she might, the possessed Emily could only bare with the pain for so long before she released Anubis, freeing her from her spiritual captivity.
Before the blade could touch the ground, Deep Purple hardened the air beneath it, keeping it afloat just at Yuuki’s eye level.
“Still, you deserve some recognition. Giving us such a hard time, I really thought we were gonna lose this fight.”
Deep Purple tightened its smoky hands into a fist, keeping them level with the helpless sword Stand.
“What is your command, master?”
Yuuki almost scoffed at the question, as if there was any other way this was going to end.
“You have to ask? Just destroy this piece of shit already.”
What came next was a barrage of punches against Anubis, a hail of strikes going so fast it was almost invisible to the naked eye. Every punch was followed by an explosion created by Deep Purple Requiem, it may have been overkill, but you couldn’t afford to be careless with a dangerous Stand like Anubis. All the while, Yuuki and Deep Purple Requiem were simultaneously screaming, it sounded a lot like the one from Deep Purple’s song Highway Star.
After a good few seconds, the sword had been blown to pieces and the pieces had been pounded into a fine powder. Just to be sure, Yuuki had Deep Purple Requiem detonate the hydrogen particles around the dust pile, erasing them in an instant but small ball of flame.
Yuuki took another deep breath and Deep Purple Requiem was gone, along with what little remained of Anubis. He spat on the ground and started walking back towards the 21st Nome.
"This mission blows."
Yuuki turned back towards the others and their newfound Stands with a nonchalant look.
“I'm going back to the base. Are you guys coming or not?"

Stand Name: 『 DEEP PURPLE REQUIEM』
Stand Wielder: Yuuki Yoshida
Stand Type: Close-Range/Requiem Stand
Known Stand Abilities:
Smoke Body: Deep Purple Requiem can break down its physical body and turn itself into smoke capable of spreading itself across a large area. Rather than turn its whole body into smoke, Deep Purple Requiem can also turn specific parts of itself into smoke.
Poisonous Body: Deep Purple Requiem can poison the air that it touches in its smoke form, making it impossible to breathe and damaging the body from the inside.
Air Pressure Generation & Manipulation: Deep Purple Requiem is able to increase the air pressure of an area it surrounds with its smoke or generates air pressure where there is none or little. This allows Deep Purple Requiem to crush its opponents or to solidify the air around them to impede their actions.
Hydrogen and Oxygen Explosions: While in its smoke form, Deep Purple Requiem can detonate the hydrogen and oxygen particles it touches, creating an explosion or combustion instantaneously. Depending on the size of the area it covers, the power of these explosions vary, meaning bigger area means bigger, more powerful explosions.
Temporal Rewind: When Yuuki suffers from an intentional fatal injury, time rewinds to about 10 seconds from that moment. This causes Yuuki's fatal wound(s) to heal, making it impossible for Yuuki to die of anything other than natural causes or an accident. While time is rewinding, Yuuki is aware and able to move during rewinding time, allowing him to reposition himself and gain the upper hand.
Yuuki cannot interact with anything during this time, however, he can still be affected by things. For example, if Yuuki were to somehow stray into the path of a speeding bullet that was in the process of rewinding, it would still pierce through him. If Yuuki is to somehow die during this rewinding time, he will die for good. After time is done rewinding, things will progress the way they did before except for Yuuki's dying, of course. When it gets to that point, it appears that Yuuki disappears, only to reappear in a completely different spot, much like how DIO seems to teleport whenever he uses The World's time-stopping power.
