The year is 1988. In just over a year, the Berlin Wall will fall and the Soviet Union will be history. However, there are some who will take drastic measures to prevent this. A top secret scientific organization funded by the Soviet government is building something incredible, known as a dimensional energy tap. Made to draw out ambient energy from the whole universe using a dimensional rift, it's a thousand years ahead of anything humans have built before. So how are they able to build it? Only Mikelav, the director of the project, knows the whole truth! But it's far from foolproof. Without checks and balances to safely build something of such an immense and advanced scale, a failure of the project would have catastrophic effects for the whole world! These fools, meddling with technology beyond their current reach, risking their planet for the sake of worldwide Soviet dominance, must be stopped!

Thus, a group of five Stand users from all walks of life, hired by a small but secure revolutionary organization that has stolen documents pertaining the DET's creation, must shut it down before it's too late! The journey will be long Mikelav's many dangerous Stand using assassins stand in their way, but the safety of mankind is at stake! Go forth, heroes, and grab hold of your destiny!

The PCs are briefed by their commanding officer about their mission and the details within, and informed that a car has been prepared for them and they will be released as soon as scouts have returned. They are reminded that they have had microchips implanted in their bodies that are empowered by the Stand of a technician there, and all they need to do is make a radio call and they can be teleported to an already-set extraction point. Just then, as the PCs leave the room, the base is bombed, and the PCs are forced to retreat into an underground network of shelters below the base.

1. Pinpoint

This Stand takes the form of a strange, bulky apparatus worn on the user's right arm. It is covered in bronze piping and clockwork, with a massive hand at the end. At the center of the palm is a hole that shoots out spikes.

It has the ability to shoot spikes at high speed. In a direct confrontation the damage output of this Stand is decent, but that's not where it stands out. Its true talent lies in trap-making. It can make its spikes sink into objects, even objects too small to contain them. The main limitation is that each object can only contain one spike. If a living creature touches an object with a spike in it, that spike will shoot out at a high velocity to strike that creature. Thus, this Stand is far more dangerous if the user has time to prepare.

Will mostly fight by laying spike traps all over the map. When a character moves across a space that is trapped, they must roll to block or avoid it. He's actually hiding up on the caved-in roof among piles of rubble. Will run away into the corridors and engage in hit-and run attacks if forced to flee.

2. Space Oddity

Takes the form of a neon green and blue humanoid figure of a medium build, with a syringe needle extending about two and a half feet from its right hand, in between the knuckles of its middle and ring fingers. There is a plunger on the back of its forearm that extends outwards by a foot. As the ability is used it will slowly press inwards, and eventually the user will need to take a minute to recharge his ability.

Creates bubbles of space from the oversized syringe needle bolted to its forearm. Everything around this space is pushed apart. It cannot actually destroy anything through this, but the structural integrity of an object subjected to this ability will typically fail spectacularly.

Will fight by using hit-and run tactics through the corridors, using his Stand's ability to create distance between himself and his enemies. A square where the space has been expanded should be colored orange, and moving through it is treated as moving through four squares. He may try to directly attack weaker Stand users, attempting to stab them with his Stand's needle and make them explode from within.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The PCs, now victorious, patch themselves up and enter their car, only for it to explode a mere half hour into the drive, as there was a bomb planted next to the engine and the base was attacked before the car could be checked. Three of the PCs are knocked out, and the two that are conscious find themselves face-to-face with the next enemy.

3. Mr. Crowley

Takes the form of a tall, gangly humanoid, with a corpse like face. He wears black, mirrored glasses over its empty eye sockets. It also wears a pinstripe suit and hat, gloves, dress shoes, and a cape that is black on the outside, red inside.

Has the ability to extract an substance's properties and implant them into another object. Alternatively, it can copy the shape of one object and then force an object of similar size into that shape. The Stand can only contain properties or shapes, not both at the same time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After defeating this adversary, the PCs rouse their comrades and patch themselves up before walking five miles to a nearby town. They stay at an inn for the night, and as they get up and have breakfast, soon to board a train, they are targeted by two new subtle enemies.

4. Regulate

Each body is about the size of a human head, with stubby clawed limbs, veiny purple skin and bat-like wings. They don't have heads, per-say, but they have faces on the front of their torsos. Each body's face is a caricature of their target's.

An automatic Stand that creates a small demon every time the target does something that the user considers sinful or unlawful. Even the smallest infraction counts. At first, the imps will stalk the victim and try to trick them into sinning more, and when there are a bunch of them they will attack. Killing them doesn't decrease their numbers, since killing one is obstruction of justice, and thus spawns another imp.

The bodies will start out in low numbers, and thus will hide out of sight and try to make the PCs unwittingly commit various minor offenses. Be creative. as their numbers increase, so too will their boldness. The Stand is extremely strict about what constitutes breaking a law, and each separate offense means a separate body. Once their numbers are great enough they will attack directly.

5. Dark and Metric

Takes the form of a black and grey robot with long, very thin limbs and a head with a single large yellow eye. At the ends of its arms, rather than hands, it has three mechanical tendrils on each arm.

Dark and Metric grants the Stand User two connected abilities:

【My Town】 allows the Stand to instantaneously store knowledge all of the physical properties of everything within the Stand's range of roughly 20 meters.

【Computer Assisted Design】 is a passive ability of Dark and Metric, allowing it to calculate beyond even supercomputer speed. The Stand User will ask a query about the objects in the range of 【My Town】, and Computer Assisted Design will return an answer - it will ALWAYS answer, but some queries take longer to answer.

Using these two abilities in conjunction, Dark and Metric allows the user to exploit their enhanced calculation of physics and engineering for incredible feats, such as striking a specific part of an object to cause it to instantly shatter, or utilizing resonant frequencies to level buildings.

The weakness is that the calculations are not known to the Stand User until they are complete - so the Stand User cannot adapt their plans unless they cancel the previous query and ask a new one, or unless they can use the knowledge themselves. For this reason, the Stand User is likely to plan ahead and set up traps so as to avoid having to adapt on the fly.

After bringing down those two, the PCs get to the station just in time and board their train, only to be caught in the trap of a new enemy.

6. Bathory

Takes the form of a humanoid figure make of glass, filled with a red liquid on its right side and a blue liquid on its left size, mixing together into purple in the center. On its hands are tiny, pore-like holes which the liquid seeps out of in order to create the handprints.

Can leave blue handprints which suck heat out of objects and red handprints that infuse objects with that sucked out heat. Its freezing hand can flash freeze things on touch, though it isn't instant. Its burning hand can burn through things on touch. The handprints can be remotely activated.

As she gets more desperate, she will destroy the train more and more with handprints, and should she be cornered she'll destroy the controls of the main car, causing it to crash.

After the train crashes, the PCs camp for the night in a forest near the crash site. The next day, they make their way through it, bound for (I know nothing about Russian geography) mountain. However, as they go through the thickest part of the forest, they are ambushed again.

7. Separate Ways

Takes the form of a humanoid with black skin and blue armored pieces, wearing a helmet split down the middle with a grill over its mouth.

This Stand has the ability to split any object, regardless of size, by drawing a line across its surface with one of its clawed fingers. The object will then be split along thin axis. These objects are now separated on the outside but connected on the inside. thus, from the inside, everything appears normal. Separated objects can be reattached along the axis they were split on, and this can be done incorrectly. Once need only press the slip axes together for ten seconds to do this. Organisms separated by this ability can learn to move their separated parts, but this takes a lot of practice. An object inside of a spit object will be transported from one separated part to another as if nothing happened if it crosses the axis it was split along.

He has an ax, riot gear, a sawn-off shotgun and a pistol, all reinforced by dozens of his golems to be extremely durable and capable of damaging Stands. Taking his out directly will be extremely difficult, but his Stand isn't nearly so fearsome, and it needs to be out to replace the golems' numbers. If he needs more of them, he'll have to either head back underground to safely make more with his Stand or stay on the surface and risk his Stand being attacked.

Their abilities have a perfect synergy together, amplifying the effects of the reinforcement to an incredible degree. It is capable of a moderate level of shapeshifting, it can heal its injuries by simply spreading its mass into the wounded ares, slightly decreasing its size each time, and due to its sheer size and the effects of the reinforcement, possesses a level of brute strength and durability far beyond anything Stands are supposed to be capable of.

At this point, the Stand will use its massive size and various new capabilities to form whatever limbs of weapons it needs, perhaps even splitting off a piece of itself to be controlled from a distance(though the range isn't very long) as a surprise attack. It isn't meant to be defeatable itself, most of the time. However, it has a weakness: the users. Both of them need to coordinate their efforts to control Superbeast. If one of them is taken out, Superbeast will become much less coordinated and harder for the remaining user to control. After about five rounds it will fall apart on its own, and even a moderate amount of damage to the remaining user will destabilize it immediately.

This Stand is able to split its body apart into up to 13 pieces and control them from a distance. When they impale an object, it enters a perfect stasis in which it cannot move, be damaged or changed. Objects larger than a human require more than one bone to put into stasis.

Suite Madame Blue can use gem-encrusted pins it produces to instill mental blocks in others. The pins cause no physical damage, and once in you, cannot be removed except by Suite Madame Blue or its user. It can easily cripple an opponent after several successful hits, as the opponent's actions become more limited with each pin.

In his fight, he will start by hiding pins in various places all on the floor and walls. These first pins say "You cannot attempt to damage Suite Madame Blue". After that, it will place and throw other kinds of pins for more specific commands based on what he needs in that situation. The group of PCs fighting him will have to make their way to him across an office suite and up to the top of his tower towards his office, and survive his various plans and attacks. It won't take many pins to completely cripple a character's ability to fight, so caution and strategy is key here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The PCs defeat Mikelav and attempt to infiltrate the central part of the compound to scare off the workers, plant C4 everywhere and use their Stands to cause as much irreparable damage to the project as possible. However, before they can make it(Not that they would have gotten far anyway, with Rasputin's six personal attendants hidden nearby), Rasputin's unique body sets off the microchips, triggering the Stand ability of the now-dead technician that implanted them into them and teleporting them 100 miles away in a random direction. The chips then short out for good. Thus, the PCs are forced to begin to making their way back once again, this time passing through a large city.

By attacking the PCs methodically in a crowded city square, with no regard for innocent lives or safety, he is able to significantly hamper them, leading some of them into DMX's range and doing his best to get one of them alone. To escape, he will simply open the street and jump into it. He can get through any barrier in his way easily. Finally, he'll try opening a building and trying to make it fall onto them. If this fails he will simply run away and wait for a better opportunity.

She'll attack the PCs as they end up in an abandoned car factory, first by firing a bullet with her Stand wrapped around it as a sneak attack, and then making machines come to life and attack them. If he Stand gets close enough, she'll attempt to make it control one of them.as they get closer she might have it make unfinished cars and other such things rush at them. Of course, this is all just means to injure them and wear them down, and once they get close she'll wear her own Stand and attack those still able to fight in hand-to-hand combat.

The PCs must now deal with two Stand users who confront them directly, in broad daylight, in a crowded city square. It's very embarrassing for everyone involved.

21. The Next Episode

Takes the form of a mechanical spider-like creature with legs that look like a camera tripod's legs, and a cylindrical "head" There are five masks on this cylinder, which rotates to show a different mask based on the current rating the Stand has set. G is a teddy bear, PG is a robot, PG-13 is a superhero wearing a domino mask, R is a bloodstained hockey mask and NC-17 is a skinned human face.

This Stand has the ability to place a rating on the area under its range under a rating. Normal reality is treated as rated R. The lower the rating, the more heavily people's actions and results are inhibited. NC-17 makes reality excessively violent and sexual.

He'll work together with Under Pressure's user, lowering the rating to help him survive attacks before raising it back up. Of course, once he's accumulated so many advantages that the PCs can't hope to hurt him without figuring out his power, he'll set the rating to NC-17. If cornered by the PCs, he'll set the rating to G, forcing them to tie him up someplace high rather than beat the shit out of him.

Starts out the fight by shooting himself in the leg, giving the PCs his gun, drinking poison that will kill him in fifteen minutes and putting the antidote at a place he won't be able to safely get to without beating the PCs, and telling him that they all need to work together to beat him, taunting them to do so. He even stands right in front of a ravine that it would be easy to knock him off of. All of these disadvantages work together to make it nearly impossible to even inconvenience him. Reality simply aids him in gaining advantages and hurting the PCs. The Next Episode's user will periodically switch the rating to protect him and help him hurt the PCs. In order to beat him they need to send only one person to fight, and not use any tricks whatsoever. In this case, he will still be aided, but not by enough to beat a really superior fighter.

Now, as the PCs approach the compound once more and make camp during the night, the last two of Rasputin's personal servants and possibly the most dangerous opponents faced so far ambush them in the middle of the night.

23. Smooth Criminal

A man born with ASPD, he grew up in the slums and has major difficulty connecting with others and a natural tendency to act impulsively, which he works hard to suppress. Prone to major depressive episodes, he was never particularly happy. When he met Rasputin, the man was able to understand him and speak to him the way no one else ever had. Rasputin taught him to enhance his tendencies, cut himself off from all empathy entirely, and never feel anything for others. Thus, he became devoted to the man and him alone completely, especially after being promised a "miracle cure" for his condition should Rasputin's plan succeed. He will gladly immerse himself into the depths of hell to meet his Blue Fairy and become a real boy. Were it not for truly rotten conditions and upbringing, he could have received proper treatment and been an upstanding person despite his condition, but this option was never available to him, and now it's far too late.

Working together with Rock Around The Clock's user, he'll infiltrate the camp the PCs are in while they're asleep and attempt to assassinate them as they attempt to get to RAtC's user. The two of them will attack and then retreat, leading the PCs into some mines they set up earlier. Next, RAtC's user will release sleeping gas from the ports in his legs, as SC's user dons a breathing mask. More wounded PCs will be more heavily affected. Those who managed to make it through the gas in one way or another must now not only fight both enemies, but protect their unconscious teammates.

24. Rock Around the Clock

Ability Stand that allows the user to bind time to his body. Essentially, this means that time moves only as quickly as he does. When he moves at full speed, so does the time around him, and when he is completely still it moves at 1/1000th of its normal pace. A whole gradient runs in between.

Along with Smooth Criminal's user, he will infiltrate the PCs' camp under the cover of night and spray teargas everywhere and begin firing with his pistol, to give SC's user a chance to sneak up on the party. The two of them will then retreat and lead the PCs into some mines set by SC's user along the way. Finally, he will spray sleeping gas out of the ports in his legs when multiple PCs are close to him, and try to make as many fall asleep as possible. Those still awake will have to contend with both him and SC's user while protecting those who are unconscious. He has a flamethrower in his arm, poison-filled diamond tipped claws, electric cannons in his shoulders and a pair of specialized machine pistols that his ability allows him to wield akimbo with ease.

User: Rasputin

The legendary Mad Monk himself. He has survived for as long as he has by using his Stand to reverse the aging of his cells for a year, then aging normally for a year, in that pattern. The fragment of the Stand meteor lodged in his chest has turned him into what is essentially a living Stand arrow, and giving him a telepathic connection to the mysterious, eldritch beings who sent the Stand meteor to our universe. He cannot die unless that is removed or destroyed. His presence naturally weakens dimensional boundaries significantly. He plans to shatter them by being present at the activation of the dimensional energy tap, allowing his allies from beyond, who showed him how to build it, to enter our reality at the cost of causing extensive damage to our spacetime continuum, so it doesn't really matter if it works properly or not. He can't figure out whether to call his ability "reversal" or "inversion", and asks the PCs for their opinion on it. In his mind, all that matters is ones' accomplishments and possessions. He doesn't care at all about having things; simply gaining them, because he considers humans, including himself, inherently worthless by default, with one's accomplishments and legend being everything. With this, he says, he will become the most important person in the universe.

The first time he confronts the PCs, only half of them will be present. He will begin with a sneak attack from within the shadow of some large machine in a small, sparsely-lit room. He'll begin monologuing vaguely between each turn. Should he hit successfully with that sneak attack, he'll reverse their Stand's ability. Thus, the sneak attack will be on the PC whose Stand's ability will have the most disastrous results if reversed. He'll talk a bit more, tricking the reversed Stand into hurting itself/another PC. He will attempt to reverse amy projectiles launched towards him back at the source if he can safely do so. After about 4 rounds, Rasputin's Stand power-laced body will cause the previously inactive linked microchips in the PCs bodies to go off, teleporting them all a hundred miles away in a random direction.

He will then send six more Stand users after the PCs to try and whittle them down and stall for time until the DET is completed.

Once the PCs arrive again, he will reveal that the DET has just been activated, and it will come online very soon. The players have 20 rounds to defeat him. As he fight goes on, Rasputin will explain that he was born with an extremely sturdy body, which allowed him to survive the multiple attempted assassinations he went through. However, when he was shot in the chest, the bullet pushed the stone in his necklace -a fragment of the Stand meteor he chiseled off it long ago- into his chest, and the impacts from being thrown into the turbulent waters of a river only drove it in deeper. As he lay on the edge of death, the meteor piece activated his dormant Stand and irradiated his blood, turning his life energy into Stand power. Furthermore, this gave him a connection to the mysterious beings beyond the pale. They wish to enter our world, and they sent the Stand meteor for that purpose. Even he knows little of their ways, but he was promised true power and endless knowledge of the cosmos should he bring them through. They are the true designers of the DET. The supposed ruins are a complete fabrication, used to mislead anyone who might steal plans to the project.
