A long sigh left the pale haired mans lips at your response and Abbacchio's eyes flickered back to where you were, "Just, don't go down there." Raising a hand afterwards and pointing towards the area, you could still make out the small fly made from Narancia's shoe buzzing around.
"Giorno's powers haven't disappeared yet. Does that mean Giorno's alive?" It was beginning to feel like everything you were saying just went right over their heads and with a disgruntled sigh you backed out of the conversation only re-entering when Bruno's stand appeared punching the deck below. "Narancia, Fugo, Mista and Giorno aren't there!"
"It's just like what you and Giorno mentioned." Glancing towards where you were kneeling Bruno added on, "The enemy's not just hiding in some locker or behind something to attack..."
Straightening out his posture Abbacchio turned a bit, eyes focused once more on the fly as it changed direction, "Hey, the fly's coming around now."
Switching his attention over as well, Bruno pursed his lips, "That's strange...where's the enemy going? How and Where is the enemy hiding?"
"Regardless of this enemy's abilities...I hate to admit it, but it looks like I'll have to accept what Giorno was saying. I'll use my stand to solve this mystery! But...this spot's bad news!" Extending both arms outwards and shoving Bruno and you back, the three of you fell through the opened zipper watching is close up behind.
Getting up from the floor and walking through the cabin Abbacchio led the two of you, an aura once again surrounded the man. "Moody blues!" Right away the iridescent skinned stand appeared emitting an array of radio noises. "Does Narancia from five minutes ago work?"
"Yeah. That should be fine." Nodding in response to the question Bruno hummed eyes trained on the stand.
Your attention at the moment was also focused on the lean stand albeit more intently than the others, quickly following after it as it hopped out through the skylight. Standing beside Moody Blues on the deck and watching attentively as the timer on it's forehead began counting back, it made a noise before shifting into the missing black haired teen.

Sitting down the numbers on it's head began moving and the stand morphed into Narancia sitting an the floor bouncing slightly to something.
"What's that noise?" Asking that Bruno watched the stand closely as well.
"His headphones. Five minutes ago, Narancia was listening to his boom box." Motioning towards his head to emphasize the headphone bit, the three of you returned your focus to Moody Blues.
"Can't you fast forward this a bit? I'm pretty sure it was closer to when Bruno was talking." Asking that and turning your attention back towards the two men, Abbacchio gave a nod doing just that till 'Narancia' now sat cross legged grinning as Bruno's voice sounded from the background.
"It was right after this conversation that Narancia was attacked!" Pointing at the stand Bruno gave Abbacchio a sharp look, "We'd better be able to see just how he was attacked, Abbacchio."
"My stand repays everything. We'll be able to see everything from Narancia's sweat to his pulse and it'll follow him everywhere." Giving a nod towards that Bruno's attention returned to 'Narancia' as the time where he would disappear neared.
"Let's get behind Narancia." The three of you moved to stand behind the dark haired teen, eyes trained on it. "He's about to be attacked!?"
A hole quickly appeared in 'Narancia's left shoulder, "L-Look! It's the same wound Giorno had!"
Moody blues was then pulled back, still in the form of Narancia letting out a squealing noise much like that of a deflating balloon. "He's deflating?" Staring at the form and making a confused expression you could only watch him sink into the cutout.
"Air is leaking out from his wound, deflating him. Looks like we know what the enemy's abilities are now." 'Narancia's deflating body once again let out a loud squeak before beginning to get sucked down the drain.
Raising a hand and pointing at the stand Bruno spoke, "Pause it, Abbacchio!" Doing as the ebony haired man said Moody Blues paused just as Narancia's shoe fell off, the three of you drew closer. "I see...So he's inside the pipe." Reaching out and taking a hold of an arm Bruno ran his hand across the stand, "This is the answer to our mystery. His nails, flesh, and bones are all floppy like a condom, even his shoes and belt buckle. But he still has a pulse."

Coughing into your hand upon hearing that out had to hold back from laughing, this was really no laughing matter, but why did he have to compare it to that of all things. "So as Giorno and I said they're still alive?"
Nodding to that Bruno let out a hum, "But we still don't know what's going on...the enemy is also doing this to his own body, hiding in pipes or between the planks or walls, and he's dragged in Mista, Fugo, and Giorno as well."
"Oh, that would explain why Giorno's fly can't find them if they're traveling like how you said." Snapping your fingers and pointing towards the man you pieced together what he was saying.
"We figured out the enemy's ability." Casting his gaze towards you, Abbacchio added on, "Now all we have to do is chase the enemy, find out where Narancia and the others are and save them. Then beat the shit out of that guy."
"I'm resuming Moody Blues's replay." Once again starting up his stand, 'Narancia' was sucked in through the pipes.
"Chase? Wait a second, Abbacchio! While you're replaying, you can't attack or defend yourself. You're totally defenseless! It's dangerous to go into the pipe." Explaining that Bruno stared up at the white haired man, you did as well now knowing that Abbacchio couldn't attack while already using one of his stands abilities.
"I know exactly where Moody Blues is going! When that bastard is near, use your zippers to open the floor and get him! We can't defeat the enemy if we don't chase him." Turning to look Bruno in the eye, he stood up afterwards turning his gaze towards one of the metal railings.
You knew what Abbacchio was getting at but it still seemed quite risky in your opinion, chasing after someone without being able to defend oneself was dangerous.
"It went left. That's where he got Mista." Moving to lean over the railing, he trailed his gaze towards the orange buoy, "Moody Blues is going right underneath that. It's going around towards the cabin where it got Fugo and Giorno."
"So whoever this is, is moving them around while holding them hostage." Peaking between the two envisioning where Abbacchio's stand might've been you switched your gaze between the two.
"It's moving much slower...that's where the bastard was hiding earlier. On the inside of that rope fastener! The enemy's right below the deck there!" Pointing over to the area he was talking about the fly hovering through the air once again switched its course.
"That fly's coming towards us." Pointing that out Bruno hummed towards your comment seemingly adding on with his own thoughts, "I'm not sure if he knows that we know his ability, but bring it on!"
"The pipes! Cut through them and get them outta there!" Exclaiming that at the dark haired man, Bruno quickly jumped into action calling forth his stand and creating zippers along the floor.
Though nothing was in the pipe.

Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!
