Sky High (Story Arc): Difference between revisions

Back in the hospital before [[Ungalo]]'s [[Bohemian Rhapsody]] caused chaos, one of [[DIO]]'s sons, [[Rikiel]], talks to [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] about his illness. A nervous wreck of a young man, Rikiel constantly suffers from panic attacks which causes him to sweat profusely and his eyelids to droop. After Pucci reassures him of his purpose to his bloodline, he inserts a [[DISC]] into Rikiel and tells him about his hidden ability to control strange, flying rod-like organisms. Soon, Rikiel's eyelids start to open again after a high-speed rod appears out of nowhere, and one of Pucci's tooth strangely falls off. He then names the [[Stand]] as "[[Sky High]]" and prompts Rikiel to leave and utilize his new profound Stand.▼

Meanwhile, [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]], and [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] head to Cape Canaveral on [[Romeo Jisso|Romeo]]'s helicopter. Jolyne tells Emporio to head west near {{W|Orlando}} even though she feels as if the priest is in different directions, not knowing that she had been feeling the presence of DIO's sons, the priest, and [[Weather Report]] all at once. As Ermes tells Jolyne to close one of the helicopter's windows, everyone's eyelids suddenly droop and bleed. Ermes notices something flying inside the helicopter as well as her bloated hand, forcing the trio to ditch and crash the helicopter. During their fall, she spots multiple rods chasing them down while managing to take down one.▼

The three return to their normal state after landing on water and Rikiel reveals himself to them. Knowing he is the User, Jolyne and Ermes quickly deduce that his Stand is merely close-ranged and throw rocks at him, only for the projectiles to seemingly deflect in mid-air. Unbeknownst to Rikiel, Ermes had used [[Kiss]] to return the duplicated rocks to her, landing a bloody hit on him. As he panics, Rikiel loses control of the [[rods]] and Jolyne finally sees them suspended in the air.▼
