He’s not crazy. He knows practically all the stories; knows that the body count of those who hang around the Joestars is pretty high, but if nothing else, he knows he won’t die here. Robin’s good, probably, but he alone can’t protect Darling on her own, and in the afterlife, how could he face Jojo if he dies here?
It’s merely a promise; a promise he had made to Johan, and that Johan had made to him. They won’t die to this arse of a statue Stand User. Not before Jojo can make a dumb joke about Weeping Angels and be utterly annoying about the fact that he’d managed to fly a plane without a license. After Gracie, he keeps his promises. He’s learned his lesson. Breaking promises never leads anywhere good.
It takes him a moment, two, before he realizes the reason he’s not smeared over the hard wooden floor is the quickly fading golden energy twisting around an arrow. It’s broken part of the stone skin like it was normal flesh, so it appears that somehow the hamon had managed to do something useful, despite the previous failures. It had knocked the horse into one of the shelves, making it lean precariously. The momentum had been redirected, and rather than smashing through his sternum and breaking his heart in his chest, it had merely broken his shoulder. Still, he can’t move it. It’ll be a disadvantage in the fight.
He rolls further out of the way and doesn’t hesitate to pull out his Stand. The thought occurs to him that he could—no, probably should—use the new power, the one that melts things. Mass Destruction.
No. It’s too dangerous. He could damage the books, or anybody remaining on the floor. It’s pure luck he didn’t hurt Darling, earlier.
Reverse the Destiny and Soul Drive won’t do much either—it’s not like he’s out to heal the Stand. It’s not likely Have a Nice Dream will work on a statue—he’s pretty sure it only works on living things, and he’s also pretty sure statues don’t sleep, but it’s worth a try.
He sprays Lotus Juice with water, and his Stand spits it back out and hits the horse statue. It whinnies and thrashes a little, but its movements are definitely slower, something he plans to take full advantage of. It seems that between that and Robin’s hamon, while they might not have damaged the statue persay, they’ve evened the odds, if only by a little.
He smiles, eyes cold. “It’s just your luck Jojo’s not here,” he tells it, merciless. “I’d hate to show him how coarse I can be, when the occasion…” he produces a blade from his sleeve, stabbing the thing in its glowing demonic eye, “….calls for it!”
It’s a bad habit from his old life, keeping that thing around, but it’s saved his life more than once, and now appears to be just another instance of his attachment to his less than stellar past paying off. He’s not sure how intelligent a statue can be, but if it believed him to be a posh rich brat merely living off the legacy of an oil magnate, it can think again.
He quickly runs around the corner, holding on to his painful shoulder desperately. LJ uses a little extra of the water, now tainted a color that can barely be seen in the inconsistent lighting, to use Soul Drive on his shoulder. He can’t heal it completely, but he can at least dull the pain and make the rest of this fight a little easier.
Why are they being attacked by an unusual, Stand-like statue? It’s not the dragon they’d seen, and didn’t Robin say something about having seen someone riding the statue? Wouldn’t the Western Dragon statue have to be the main body of the Stand, unless it could shapeshift—
Wait. No. No no no. The article, the maker’s mark, the four horsemen…it’s a four-part Stand. They have to take out this part as quickly as they can and see if they can’t head to Love’s apartment. She rarely leaves, and she’s certainly not out of London—the Stand is powerful, yes, but it probably has some sort of radius or something. London’s a large area, though, so it’s possible it doesn’t even affect all of London. Hopefully, if they take out at least one of the Horsemen it makes the effect of the other statues coming to life less powerful. Bloody hell, there’s no way they can take out all the Horsemen, especially split up like this. Especially not with Robin’s powers weaker due to the fact that it’s not technically alive, and Darling…what can Darling even do to it?
Hang on, Robin’s powers are weaker, but not incapable of doing anything to it, despite the fact that hamon is only supposed to work on living creatures. Have a Nice Dream also worked, despite only being effective against living things…so the Stand counts as pseudo-alive, does it…?
“Robin, aim for the hooves!” he yells. He’s not sure if the Horseman can comprehend the human language, but even if it does, it’s not like it can know what they’re planning, and even if Robin fails to hit it, that will keep the horse from galloping and trampling him again. It probably has secondary effects than just the physical, and might be waiting for reinforcements, but he’s not going to give it that much time. He’s going to wear it down, but not for too long, and he plans to defeat it quickly.
It’s going to regret coming after a Speedwagon.

He doesn’t quite manage to roll out of the way, and screams a little as a hoof comes down on his shoulder and there’s a cracking sound. He bites the sound back. It’s better if civilians don’t come and investigate and get killed. It’s a good thing he’s left-handed because otherwise what’s probably a broken right arm would be more of an impediment. As it is, Johan’s probably going to be a pain, when they both make it through this. Because they will.
