It had been a long while ever since Jotaro stepped inside this arena, he had spent most of his time away recovering from his injuries from the previous battle. It was a brawl to be remembered, even if his memory were to fail him his body would still carry marks of the battle. But today wasn't a day for life or death fights, it would be a friendly match between him and a stranger. Jotaro was in to hone his skills, and he must admit that punching someone senseless feels really good.

The familiar noise of the gates opening were heard, and without hesitation Jotaro stepped out, firm and serious like he always had been. Among the audience he'd see Polnareff and Matoi, both were there to spectate his match although the latter would much rather fight him herself and so had a rather grumpy and dissatisfied expression on her face, the former jumped and waved his arms encouraging his buddy.

Jotaro continued to walk, his eyes travelling across the arena and eventually settling down on the opposite side of where he was standing right now, where his opponent should be coming from.

Fight, X! For everlasting peace!

Dissatisfied with the results of his last arena bout (even though he won), X had signed up for another friendly match against the unknown. If he wanted to continue being the hero he’d dedicated himself to being, he had to get back the power he’d lost to the unfortunate Drain. Thus, this night saw him stepping out of the Arena gates and into the battle area, his friend and comrade Axl gleefully cheering him on from within the crowd.

X took a good look at his opponent: a young human man wearing a somber outfit and equally somber expression. Normally he’d loathe to go all-out against a human, but if his stay so far in the multiverse had taught him anything, it was that the humans here could prove to be far from defenseless as they were back him.

Solemnly stopping a good couple of meters away from his would-be opponent, X smiled serenely and extended his hand. “Here’s hoping for a fair fight. May the best man win!” If this man had willingly chosen to step into the arena with an unknown enemy, that was a clear indication that he was either incredibly foolish or someone who took fighting as a matter of sport and, subsequently, sportsmanship… and those eyes didn’t look very foolish to X.

With a quick glance Jotaro was able to identify who and what he was facing in this fight... It was another goddamn Android, clad in blue armor and with a human-like face. The young delinquent had a few bad encounters with other androids in the past and even though this appeared friendly, he had to stay alert as their kind always have some hidden weapon in their body or transformation.

He'd remain silent while waiting for the battle to officially begin, only nodding back at X when spoken to. Jojo would finally open his mouth to speak once the battle had started, calling out the name of his stand.

"STAR PLATINUM!" A large and buff purple man with flowing dreadlocks appeared just behind Jotaro, its powerful legs would land on the ground and bend before lunging itself and the stand user with great speed and power towards the enemy to close the gap of 3 meters between the two. As they drew closer the Stand raised its fist high and would release a powerful punch aimed at X's head once within range.

As soon as the fight had officially begun, X started gathering energy in his buster and waited for his opponent to make the first move. From the looks of him, he did expect him to be a physically-oriented fighter, but he certainly didn’t expect the spirit-like familiar that rose up from behind him, nor did he expect said familiar to carry such speed and power. X’s eyes widened in surprise as Star Platinum’s fist zoomed straight at him faster than he’d ever expected.

The hit itself connected, but thanks to X’s refined instincts and processors he was able to Dash backwards before it encompassed the entirety of his face, leaving behind a visible trail of his own image for a few seconds. X’s hand reached towards his face and felt that Star Platinum’s punch had severely damaged his nose… it was a good thing it was purely cosmetic.

Now knowing he should hold no quarter against this enemy, X raised his now-charged buster and fired a Charged Shot aimed square at Jotaro’s chest. Thinking about this strategically, it was likely that Jotaro would continue to try and close the distance between them throughout their fight; in preparation, X used the distraction of his charged shot as an opportunity to reach behind his back and unsheathe Zero’s old Z-saber. It was weak compared to the one the red reploid had replaced it for, but it could still prove useful in close quarters combat.

He managed to get a hit, yet it only barely scratched the robot. Jotaro smirked upon noticing only the nose had been damaged, the android could move short distances with ease. However, Jotaro was not relenting just yet.

"STAR FINGER!" The delinquent student called his attack. With blinding speed Star Platinum would flick both index and middle finger as it suddenly extended with great force, targeting X's face, before retracting with the same speed as the attack was launched. Though X had answered with an attack himself, a single yet powerful blast of energy aimed at Jojo. With haste the stand placed itself between the user and the attack while performing a crossed arms guard. Even with Star Platinum's amazing endurance he could feel his arms burning upon contact. Damn robots and their energy based weaponry.

Not wasting anymore time around, Jotaro would make a charge for X. Star Platinum would be nowhere to be seen for now, as it had been called back by it's user.

A bright light emanated from X’s forehead gempiece, reminding him that the previous hit he’d taken from Jotaro had given him a very valuable weapon. He quickly read through the data of the newly acquired ability and smirked to himself, both from missing the feeling such a skill provided and from having figured out his opponent’s most prominent gimmick as a result.

As Jotaro rushed towards him, he’d see X’s armor change color in a flash of light, settling on a color scheme he should be plenty familiar with by now. “Platinum Pause!” X called out his newly acquired attack as the color drained from the world around him and all activity ceased. The data did mention that this ability wasn’t as long-lasting as other similar abilities he’d acquired though, so he had to act fast; without hesitation, X dashed behind Jotaro and gave his back a point-blank slash from the Z-saber before dashing backwards to gain some distance. Almost as soon as the timestop had started, it had ended, and Jotaro would now be free to realize X was no longer in front of him and his back had been slashed out.

"What the--..." Jotaro's reaction to the color change was interrupted by the Time Stop. Now he was still in time and defenseless, while X was free to perform his maneuvers and attacks without harassment from the stand or stand user.

A gloved fist seemingly came out from Jojo's back, throwing a violent punch aimed at the Android's chest as he brought down the Z-Saber before it froze again. He might have copied the time stop, but he had just learned one of it's tricks, the delinquent could remain aware even when the time was frozen, he even had a couple of moments to act within it. Now that X was aware it would be hard to bait him like that again, but it was worth the move.

As the color returned to the world and the time flow had been restored Jojo turned around as quickly as possible while Star Platinum gave chase, as far as its limited ranged allowed, while throwing a flurry of punches and yelling with might.

"Nice trick you have there. You used it too early to defeat me though." He had been saving his Time Stop for the right time, but now the robot had it with a simple analysis. Damn it.

“Shi-!“ X’s head arched back with extreme speed as the feint punch approached his face. The backwards force wasn’t enough to cancel out his attack, but it did lighten it significantly. Seeing as he wasn’t as safe behind Jotaro as he thought he was, X dashed backwards a couple of paces to make sure he couldn’t pull another fast one on him

“Well, I’ve never been one to hold back once a fight has already started.” X replied with a light grin. It was surprising to see that he could move within stopped time, but seeing as that was his own ability X supposed it made sense. In another flash, X turned an orange-ish shade of red and yellow before placing his buster against the ground. “Rush through this!” As he called out, his buster lit up and a large pillar of fire burst forward from the glowing ground before him, before another burst out in front of that one, and another in front of the last progressively and constantly in Jotaro’s direction at considerable speed. He may be fast, but speed wasn’t going to save him from plasmid fire, which meant he’d have to be incredibly reckless not to go for an attack from the side now.

A grunt escaped Jotaro, his teeth gritted and his eyes narrowed upon the sword's impact. That burning sensation hurt like a bitch, and on top of that it just damaged his custom uniform. He'd have to drop some Yens to get that fixed and that really annoyed him, but that was a concern for later. The two managed to hit each other but neither was going down just yet. With haste he shifted his body to face X, who continued to attack even now, this time a wave of fire pillars was coming in his direction.

"Tsk... this Android is full of surprises." He calmly pulled down the visor of his cap while his eyes looked down. The Stand, meanwhile, placed itself between Jotaro and X, with fury and speed it repeatedly punched the ground raising a large cloud of dust to occult their presence temporarily. The Stand User ran to the left while sending the Stand to the right a couple meters before being called back. A moment passed, and out of the cloud the JoJo was seem being apparently launched from the dust cloud and going towards one of the arenas walls, Jotaro remained unflinching even as he was about to apparently collide. Though before he actually came into contact with the wall, the purple arms of Star Platinum hit the wall and redirected towards the reploid. The intention was to have Star Platinum come out once they were close ad punch X right in his knee with a powerful straight jab.

X didn’t expect the dust cloud that Jotaro started. Seeing as he was an urban fighter in style, apparently, he should’ve probably seen a technique like this coming. Before he could even engage search mode, the dust cloud had already lifted and Jotaro could be seen fleeing towards the edge of the arena.

“Gotcha.” X whispered to himself as he charged up his buster and took aim at the laterally unmoving high school student. Once again, however, X was met with surprise as in one quick Motion Jotaro launched himself from the wall and straight towards him at speeds higher than he could dodge.

“Oh, crap!” X exclaimed as he changed his plans as quickly as he possibly could. His buster, now charged, was no longer pointing towards Jotaro’s head, but was no lowering down to meet Star Platinum’s approaching fist. When the fist collided with X’s buster, the android released his charge and transformed what was supposed to be a regular charge shot into a Buster Hammer technique. Dashing backwards out of impulse, X reeled back from the impact and checked his Buster for any damages; sure enough, the impact of their two weapons had shaken up some critical parts in the Buster and triggered the self-repair system, rendering the buster unusable for the moment.

“Damn…” Well, X was not one to cry over spilled milk. He wasted no time in unsheathing the Z-Saber again and assuming a defensive stance. This time, he’d let Jotaro make the first move.

Jotaro could feel Star Platinum's fist burning upon colliding with X. He did not intend this to happen, but it mostly worked in his favor with the hand canon now damaged. The crusader fell on the ground afterwards, giving time for the blue reploid to back away without harassment. First he got on his knee, taking a moment to look at the burn marks on his knuckles before finally standing up. He noticed the android was yielding that light saber again.

"You are good. " He spoke, taking a couple steps towards X, stern look on his face, fists clenched and tense posture in preparation for aggression. "How about we compare raw power?" The stand appeared behind Jotaro before going ahead of him, a wide and wolfish grin on the stands face as it charge. Jotaro was standing around 2 meters from his opponent, though the stand was much closer and throwing repeatedly punches against X, torso, head, legs were all targets for his savage attacks. From the top of their longs the stand user and his stand yelled their trademark battle cry repeatedly.

"ORA!"
