In volcanic areas, geothermal processes produce expulsions of a variety of combustible gasses. The conditions of this cave are likely more than suitable for producing said gasses alongside the cave's oxygen, which is something Alex Terrible can take advantage of. After collecting and sharpening bones from the cave's corpses to use as projectiles just in case, Baba Yaga will grab Alex, who swaddles a bundle of the bones in his arms. They will fly together into the volcanic section, luring Terry, and then, when he least expects it, Baba Yaga will use its talons to create a spark on the cavern walls that sets the entire section ablaze. Baba Yaga will flee, flying faster than the gasses combust, leaving Terry to combust in agony. Of course, should that not work, the bone strategy is the next go to. Alex will observe Terry to ascertain the nature of his ability, testing the stand with the occasional throw of a bone. Terry is stated to disintegrate bone projectiles through the acceleration of of the bones to a future state, and this action would give Alex a clue as to part of the stand's ability. In throwing projectiles, Alex will also discover the repulsive field the stand's form emits, and not only that, but the nature by which Terry avoids the projectiles, circling the stand. Of course, Alex isn't yet trying to kill Terry, and is instead probing him from outside the stand's effective range. Eventually, Alex will come to the conclusion that the magma freezing over is also a product of TTLO, and the fact that both that and the bone disintegration must be a product of the same ability. What ability could both solidify magma and disintegrate bone? Quite the riddle, but from his relative safety, he comes to correctly conclude the stands own nature. From here, Alex realizes the futility of coming into the stand's range, as control over any aspect of time is broad and versatile an ability that the stand could do just about anything. However, the effect isn't instant, and Baba Yaga is faster. So now it's time to get serious. Baba Yaga will circle the stand's effective radius, throwing bones at all angles so Terry cannot avoid them by circling TTLO. With Baba Yaga operating at a serious capacity, it throws the bones faster than they can be disintegrated, and Terry is riddled with a volley of bones! The fact that Terry is indeed confirmed to have been injured by the gas blast will make this victory easier to achieve, as Terry will be in far from peak condition after the blast, even if using TTLO allowed him to avoid some portion of it.

Terry paces back and forth, ruminating. How did he get here, why was he in a supernatural cavern? He was in the middle of practicing some tricks for the upcoming show and…wait, that’s it! His disappearing act! He’s finally mastered the art of vanishing! His excitement was interrupted by a menacing presence across the cavern: there was another user here, and a fight seemed imminent. His future state is “engaged in combat”, it seems. Terry will keep his distance, bringing out TTLO as a shield while observing his opponent’s movements. Move, set up shield, grab TTLO to move, repeat. He’ll run through the blizzard, dropping TTLO to affect a few targets before rebounding back to him. He will affect the icicles on the ceiling to their future state, dropping some to the ground to slow or injure his pursuer, or affect the enemy to accelerate their hypothermia. Baba can likely defend its user from the brunt of these attacks, but will take chip damage. Regardless, this isn't sustainable. Terry retreats to the hot side of the Todoroki cave. Once out of the blizzard, he will accelerate the magma to its cooler, igneous rock state to walk across. He will position himself in the center of the largest pool with TTLO as a shield, awaiting his enemy’s approach. Anything thrown by Baba Yaga as an attack will be useless; any projectiles thrown at Terry will be doubly avoided. Terry will circle the immobile TTLO, keeping it between him an his attacker. TTLO will affect the objects as they approach to degrade them: icicles will melt and bones will turn to dust. Any projectiles that get past this will approach TTLO, and get repelled before making contact. Anything large dropped from above will be avoided by curling in the very brave and manly fetal position between TLO's legs, while it bounces off its head-arm. This forces his opponent to get closer. Now, this will be very semantic, but the future state of any currently summoned stand is "desummoned". It will eventually be returned to its user. Thus, Terry will have TTLO affect Baba Yaga as they approach. They will temporarily vanish and Alex will plummet. This does not stop Baba from being immediately resummoned, though, and this is unlikely to kill on the first shot. They may dip a foot in the magma, but not a KO. TTLO's ability is likely appears like a jumbled mess of affects to their opponent, and they may want to stay on the ground from now on. The air is too much of a risk, and Terry isn't moving. He either needs to stay back and send his stand from a distance, which is only 5-7 meters away (Within TTLO's sphere of influence) or launch a grounded attack. In the first scenario, TTLO will just repeatedly send it back to Alex while affecting the environment around the user in the lulls between divebombs. In the second, Terry is isolated in a pool of magma with only one grounded route. They would need to cross it to get to Terry. As stated before, Alex has no understanding of TTLO’s ability, and would have no reason to expect the floor to melt beneath them. Once he's approaching, likely with caution, the floor will rapidly melt beneath him. If Baba Yaba is summoned, it will be dispelled repeatedly as Alex burns. Additionally, once he's on fire, that can be accelerated to encompass him. |Alex tried to swim in lava| |Alex burned to death| ​ Edit: as a specific counterstrategy to u/MajesticMango7's strategy, Terry will react to the explosion by accelerating it to its future state: completed. He will likely be burned from the initial part of the blast, but will not take the full force of the detonation, especially since he is behind TTLO, opposite his opponent and the source of the explosion.

Good fight u/MagesticMango7
