Part 1 - Chapter 3 - The Luck and The Idiot

The man grinned. “My name is Bizarre James! My height is 6'5", I am 185 pounds, my birthday is March 6th, I can lift up to 400 pounds per hand, so 800 pounds with both! I will be the greatest threat you three have encountered yet! I will make none of you leave our fight alive, or at least unscathed! Cower in fear! Behold, my power, my partner in life, the embodiment of my mind! THE IDIOT! Oh… I already said that at the beginning.”

Bizarre James walked over to the Two Horsemen and grinned. “I wonder if I even have to use my Stand on you two. I’ll test that out.”

Bizarre James instantly one-inch punched Horseboy, crushing his stomach and ribs from the inside out. “One down! Two to go!”

Horseman put his guard up. “Damn it! Fuck you! I’m not as weak as Horseboy though… I’ll avenge him though-”

Bizarre James dashed at Horseman, and roundhouse kicked him in the head so hard, Horseman’s skull shattered instantly. Horseman fell to the ground, the bones in his skull ending his brain in seconds.

“Two down! One to go! What a piece of cake! I haven’t even used The Idiot yet! I guess all that damn buildup to my power’s reveal was for nothing!”

CJ started shaking in fear. How was he supposed to defeat this guy? How was a random 13-year old supposed to defeat this guy? CJ didn’t know how, but he had to try, he had to try. It was life or death.

Bizarre James dashed at CJ, and CJ instantly slipped on Horseman’s blood when trying to run away, dodging Bizarre James’s attack. CJ caught himself and got back up, but Bizarre James instantly pivoted and locked onto CJ again.

Bizarre James appeared to be boosted forward by absolutely nothing. Bizarre James raised his hand, and in one swift motion, attempted to crush CJ’s stomach and ribs like he did to Horseboy. As his fist was about to make contact with CJ’s chest, a car came driving at them at 70 mph.

Bizarre James had no other choice but to turn around, and crush the front of the car with his fists to stop it, the driver inside getting flattened like a pancake in the process. “The universe is really against me killing you, eh? Looks like I’ll have to summon it for real now… THE IDIOT!”

Suddenly, CJ started throwing mindless punches at the air, not even once getting close to landing a hit on Bizarre James. Bizarre James charged up the most powerful punch yet, and as he threw it, CJ instinctively raised his fists to block it. The punch instantly crushed CJ’s left hand into a dark, bloody, mushy mess of flesh, but CJ held his ground.

CJ grabbed a metal rod off the ground cuz it looked cool. As he mindlessly swung it around, it randomly started raining, and as if the atoms aligned, lightning charged the rod, and as it made impact with Bizarre James, it fried CJ’s right arm and instantly burnt part of Bizarre James’ heart and chest.

CJ screamed in pain, dropping the metal rod and trying to relax his arm, letting it move freely. Bizarre James grunted in pain, but kept calm, he put his hand on his chest, and breathed slowly and deeply. “Damn… this is the first time The Idiot’s power to decrease intelligence has backfired on me. I’ll just have to bump his IQ down to 30, then he’ll forget how to walk properly! He’ll just collapse…”

“And then I’ll have my perfect opening!” Bizarre James used The Idiot to decrease CJ’s IQ down to 30 IQ, and then wasted no time knocking CJ over, before charging up another full power punch to kill CJ with.

CJ was too dumb to do anything, so he just lay there, not knowing what to do, not knowing anything at all for the most part. Bizarre James finished winding up his attack, and right when the punch touched CJ, glass came flying out of a window frame and sliced Bizarre James' hand off.

This caused the impact to dampen by 80%, though one of CJ’s ribs still instantly got fractured. Bizarre James screamed in pain, and so did CJ. The effect of The Idiot was lifted because Bizarre James lacked the strength to keep it effective.

“What the hell happened? I can barely remember…” CJ grunted. Bizarre James laughed in an attempt to laugh off the pain. “Let me inform you on The Idiot! It is an ability known as a Stand, the embodiment of my mind. The power, you ask? It can decrease anyone’s IQ to a minimum of 30. Paired with my raw body strength, the combo is typically deadly.”

CJ sighed in frustration. “Damn it… this guy is powerful, but… I can’t go down this easily. I can’t die like this, I’ll never die like this. It’d be an insult to my efforts…”

Bizarre James giggled. “Why do you have such resolve? When you know there’s no escaping San Antonio? When you know you’re gonna probably die… in a little bit less than a month?” CJ coughed up some blood.

“Because… if I’m gonna die either way. I might as well die trying to get the best odds of survival! Why throw it all away to die, when you can throw it all in to get a 1% chance of survival? I have a question for you too… why do you prey on everyone you see?”

Bizarre James burst out laughing. “Are you that dumb? I thought I lifted The Idiot’s power off of you, but I guess I was wrong. Just playing with you by the way. It’s simply natural selection, survival of the fittest, whatever you want to call it. I exterminate the weak, so the strong can live on. I exterminate the weak, so my food rations increase in size. I exterminate the weak, cuz it’s pretty damn fun!”

CJ clenched his teeth. “Damn you… People like you… piss me the hell off!” CJ pulled out a thing of matches, before lighting all 15 left in the box at once. CJ then clenched his fist, and threw all of them at Bizarre James, like shells coming out of a shotgun. Bizarre James ducked down, but little did he know, CJ was already behind him.

CJ picked up a crowbar, and bashed Bizarre James’ head in with it. Bizarre James collapsed to the ground, with a slightly cracked skull. Leaving CJ victorious by a small whim.
