[Introduction] I know that there was the potential idea that
Hol Horse could've joined up on the journey of Part 3, but his character puts a lot into
question on how well he'd contribute to the team.
While he is an ideal potential asset to the team, he's also Hol Horse, so how far that
help goes depends on whose side is closer to his safety.
Later in his arc character arc, we see how just being around Dio can put all of the fear
in the world into Hol Horse.
Off of that, and his entire being, he's going to stick with whatever has his best interest
in mind because it doesn't really matter if it affects the team; it's more about what
he gets out of it.
So, with that in mind, say that he joins the Crusaders after interacting
with Dio.
Instead of joining up with Boingo, he cuts to the chase and tries to find Jotaro and
the group.
Now, he intends to tell them about every enemy stand user and what they're capable of, along
with helping them defeat Dio.
Going off of the order of operation, or something like that, the last time we see Hol Horse
and the group linking up is after the D'Arby fight.
You may be thinking, well whose the next stand user they're supposed to be fighting?
Pet Shop, but that's with the idea that they needed help trying to find Dio's mansion.
With Hol Horse, they don't have that same problem anymore.
They can all walk up to Dio's mansion now, and no businessman has to get hurt in the
process.
But here's the issue, Pet Shop is still there playing defender.
Let me tell you what I'm thinking.
I think that fighting with Pet Shop right outside of the mansion should cause enough
ruckus to where Dio is notified about what's going on and he'd try to re-locate while this
is happening.
The issue is, there's no immediate action for that to happen.
Because see, in my head, Pet Shop's only options are to either fight them there, or report
back to Dio which would mean that if they tried to storm the mansion, they have to encounter
the other D'Arby and Vanilla Ice again.
These two options have completely different outcomes, but I think that Pet Shop would
choose to fight them over notifying Dio.
It's already shown itself to be a bit overzealous instead of completely rational because it
was chasing Iggy down.
Now it's possible that Dio wants Pet Shop to act like a guard animal completely and
to eliminate the problem outright, doesn't really matter because regardless of the process
behind it, the result is the same.
I'll do both scenarios anyways, but let's go with the first one for now and see where
it takes us.
The Stardust Crusaders, plus Hol Horse.
Pet Shop should see that it's Hol Horse, but Hol Horse would be scared out of his mind
seeing Pet Shop.
With acknowledging that Hol Horse's demeanor isn't exactly the same as when he comes around,
and seeing a bunch of people with him, he's going to be skeptical or on kill mode.
Matter of fact, considering that Pet Shop was able to discern that Avdol's informant
was an informant or at least someone who was trying to know more about Dio's mansion, I'm
inclined to believe that Pet Shop knows Jotaro and the group by face right now.
Dio probably got some pics of them through some sort of means, so with Pet Shop seeing
them, it's on sight regardless.
With that in mind, Pet Shop is cooked.
It's not really much of a talk, but more so just some connections.
Pet Shop and Iggy faced off, and Iggy won with some scars to show for it.
Now you're adding Avdol, who can melt Pet Shop's ice, Kakyoin and Hol Horse's range,
Jotaro's speed and power, and Joseph's...
Uh..
Joseph's moral support.
But he's gone!
They should go on into the mansion and notice that Telence T. D'Arby is right there.
Now the group was surprised by this initially, but Hol Horse, knows D'Arby's game, literally.
So I imagine he'd summon Emperor immediately after seeing him and have it pointed because
he wouldn't want him to get any closer to pull him into the gaming room.
Plus, he doesn't know the capabilities of the group and thinks that D'Arby can get it
over them video game-wise.
So they're going to stand out of D'Arby's range, and he wants somebody to overstep to
single anyone out, but I don't think that's happening here.
Hol Horse, I feel, will shoot first and not ask any questions at all.
And if everyone rushes D'Arby at once?
Probably good!
Now after this battle is Vanilla Ice.
We're at a difficult point here.
Because yes, while we have everyone in the group and a plus 1, and we have Hol Horse's
intelligence (or more so the idea of Hol Horse's intelligence because the history of Vanilla
Ice doesn't tell us that Hol Horse and Ice know each other).
What exactly is going to happen?
Well, I think there will be the "find-out" deaths.
Because even if Hol Horse was to tell them about Vanilla Ice beforehand, the set-up is
already in place, most likely.
So let's set the scene.
Hol Horse tells everyone about Vanilla Ice and what he's capable of.
Kakyoin thinks about it and starts throwing his webs around.
Avdol is figuring out Kenny G's Tenor Sax and has his life detector out.
Iggy is most likely in front of the group, Kakyoin behind him, Polnareff and Joseph side
by side, and Avdol with Jotaro side by side.
After finding out about Kenny G, they're slowly creeping around, but Jotaro notices Avdol
has stopped walking.
He's extremely perceptive in general, and when he turns around he's going to SEE Cream.
In that instance, this is going to be almost exactly like the Pucci situation.
Is he saving everyone behind him, or saving Avdol?
Avdol, will not give Jotaro this chance, the sheer look he has will show this.
Jotaro screams ORA!
And PUNCHES everyone out of the way.
Cream BLASTS FORWARD and at least CLIPS a huge part of Avdol.
Let's say the left side of his torso.
Everyone who just got smacked out of the way is standing around, trying to figure out what's
going on.
Jotaro gets Avdol up and holds him up.
Hol Horse is blaring out to everyone.
"THIS IS VANILLA ICE!"
Kakyoin is wondering why his webs didn't work but saw that they were just blasted right
through.
Iggy is terrified, Hol Horse is terrified, Joseph and Polnareff are in complete shock
seeing Avdol in this condition, and Jotaro's mind is almost shot for having seen this happen.
Vanilla Ice would have a small piece of dialogue telling everyone about how much they messed
up coming in here and specifically targets Hol Horse being here.
Hol Horse tries to say that he was setting the Crusaders up, but Vanilla Ice doesn't
let him sly his way out of this one.
I think Dio knows Hol Horse is really scummy and would've told Vanilla Ice about this,
and even if he didn't, I think any of the other minor antags would probably know about
that anyways.
So now you have everyone, Avdol missing a piece, and Hol Horse who just exposed himself
for being a terrible group member.
No one knows what to do, any damage taken here is going to be permanent, what's the
move?
Honestly?
I'm not sure.
They're going to win, they're supposed to, but as for the way, I don't know.
I think something that can happen is that since Vanilla Ice would trying to be focusing
on Jotaro and Joseph in specific, Iggy can use that idea and make a sand clone without
anyone else besides Jotaro knowing.
Everyone else sees the sand clone get completely taken out by Vanilla Ice, and they're shocked
to death.
Vanilla Ice would come out of Cream, purely to gloat and talk about how much Dio is going
to love this, but Jotaro has been hiding somewhere.
Maybe on the ceiling with the help of Iggy and comes down to just ORA ORA barrage Vanilla
Ice.
After being hit by Jotaro, Kakyoin, Polnareff, two piece combo, turn that dude into a pincushion,
this amount of damage would more than likely break up the place a bit, maybe let in some
sunlight.
But one thing I'd love to see is Vanilla Ice at the foot of Hol Horse.
He tells him if he helps him here and let's him recover and help fight against the Crusaders,
he'll forgive Hol Horse's transgressions against Dio.
Hol Horse looks to the group, and really considers it.
He points his Emperor at the group and looks directly at Polnareff of all people, could've
been Jotaro, but he looks at big Pol instead.
He asks him something like, "Yo, so you really think the sword is mightier than the gun?"
Everyone else is almost disgusted, but Polnareff knows what's going on here.
"How about we test that?"
They get into position, it's a stand off.
It's all quiet.. and then, HORA HORA HORA!
Polnareff cuts at the wall!
Hol Horse fires into the same spots!
THE LIGHT!
IT BURNS!!
Vanilla Ice is screaming and sounding like Cho Gath.
He's dead.
He's dead, but Avdol for sure has bled out by this point.
After this, it's about the remaining group vs. Dio.
Hol Horse doesn't know Dio can stop time though and I think a couple of the familiar faces
we have still do die anyways?
Hol Horse is targetted and killed immediately as Dio saw this as one of the biggest possible
transgressions against him.
Kakyoin most likely still dies too.
Though I will say it would be cool to see Hol Horse reflect on his life, see all the
things he did to just say alive, but in the end considering that he served a large purpose
and helped significantly.
But I also think he'd hear himself and quietly be like "Nah..
This was kinda stupid, I should've sold them out."
And he'll laugh to himself because he doesn't really believe that, but he does think, well
at least I'd still be alive.
The story ends, Dio is beaten, and Iggy lived for some reason!
Now you may think that this is over, but we did have that scenario from earlier.
What if Pet Shop went to go warn Dio instead of fighting them directly.
Well, since Telence T. D'Arby and Vanilla Ice are going to hold up the Crusaders a bit,
Dio could and would find his way out.
And not only is Vanilla Ice going to put in work, but he's also going to try to stall
everyone out as long as possible, rather than just focus on elimination.
Now while I do think that he'll enjoy taking out some of the members, the main focus will
be to stall.
But once anyone gets into his head, it'll probably be over.
I do think that Dio is long gone by now, but the issue is where, and what are they supposed
to do now?
The move for Dio might be to just wait for the night to then pick off every member, but
I do think that he has enough pull to string everyone along for a good bit longer.
This situation would mean that Holly might die, and
not only that, but Josuke.
Remember how that's still going on?
Yeah...
There's a lot of stuff to work with here just off of Pet Shop's singular decision, and I
think that does call for a whole other video.
So that might just be the move.
Thank you all for watching, hope you liked scenario 1, scenario 2 could be on the way
asap, just depends on what y'all wanna do.
