Jotaro, who'd been silently listening in on the plan, shook his head and began walking off towards the entrance of the lounge. He'd snatch a small piece of food on the way, opting to eat it in small, efficient bites. It seemed as nothing too annoying was going to happen anytime. . .
RUMBLE
Soon.
". . .!"
Jotaro was sent stumbling backwards by the colossi's attack, being forced to grab onto a nearby counter to avoid being knocked on his ass. After regaining his stance, he'd glance through one of the windows and spot a massive shadow lurking in the darkened waters of the harbor. It circled about the lounge like an eel preparing for another strike at it's prey.
<He found us.>
The delinquent rushed after Aquawoman, joining her on the outside deck and spotting the set of electrified spines resting upon the surface of the water, approaching the longue. Jotaro held his hat, now running through the thoughts in his head.
Ah-ha.
Jotaro's eyes lit up with some confidence. With no hesitation in his movement's, the crusader walked forward upon the deck, now climbing upon the railing to look over the edge and see the shadow of the colossi within the water, approaching the boat's hull like a submarine's torpedo. A ghostly aura began to emanate from his body before Star Platinum manifested, floating forward in front of Jotaro. He got as close as he could to edge without dropping into the water, and now reinforced his stance upon the railing. He dug his feet upon the metal and kept his hands in his pockets.
Well, no - he rose a single hand from his coat and shot it forward.

"STAR PLATINUM. . ."
". . .THE WORLD!"
The gem-like object embedded in Star Platinum's forehead shone with an intense light, as a sphere of inverted coloration would expand outward from Jotaro at the speed of light. This sphere of reality-warping energy engulfed the entire area, accompanied by a distorted whistling noise as the fourth dimension of this reality began to bend to the stand's ability - time. Cause and effect - halted in place. Like a video buffering on shitty internet.
All movements slowed, the colors of the world vanished into a muddled grey, and then they simply appeared. . .inverted. Like someone had just painted the scene differently. Wavy, white strings of unknown origin hung around the air n this new, strange world.
Soon enough, everything stopped. The water splashing forward froze in mid-air. Dante's rocket hung in front of the colossi's head, inanimate just as everything else.
Jotaro couldn't believe it, but he knew what had just happened.
"Time has stopped."
Jotaro didn't know exactly how he came up with the name. Memories of Cairo came back to him - the first moments where he (and DIO) discovered that he could stop time. Star Platinum and The World were the same type of stand, capable of the same ability. It could figure that The World itself was a title that DIO had 'took', much like anything else. The tarot of The World was now free from his name, and who else deserved such a powerful ability?
It was fate. Maybe Jotaro's ancestors were just smiling on him on that moment. . .much like now.
"Good grief. . .I've only got a couple seconds. . ."

". . .but, that'll be more than enough time to break you."
Star Platinum shot forward towards the frozen colossi, cocking back both it's fists and. . .

Needless to say, they would do some damage. Pieces and shards of the colossi that the stand had torn off flew about slightly before slowing down and eventually stopping with time. It's massive head may have even been blown off course by the rush of punches. It didn't matter what it was made of.
If it's not stronger than diamonds, it's worth shit. Jotaro turned his back on the colossi and sighed.

"Time has begun to move again."
And then.
It all came.
In a single second.
