RIIINNNNNGG RIIINNNNGG “Sheesh, who could be calling on a relaxing weekend?” Josuke asked himself as he picks up the phone just when he was about to play the new video game he got. “Hello, Joestar residents.” Josuke answered. “Hello Josuke, glad to hear you’re doing well.” A familiar elder voice greeted and Josuke’s eyes widen like glass shattering sounds in the background. “What… old man Hamon Sage?” Josuke shocked. “Still calling me that even though you’re one of the brothers with good manners.” Hamon Sage chuckled. S-sorry, it just that I’m surprised to get a call from you of all people. I just thought you don’t have phone service at the Hamon temple.” Josuke said. “It’s fine, I do have my own secrets. Anyway, there is a reason why I’m calling you, but first would you mind getting all your brothers first?” Hamon Sage asked. “Yeah, sure.” Josuke said as he moves the phone away from him a little. “HEY GUYS, THE HAMON SAGE IS ON THE PHONE! HE HAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL US!” Josuke shouted and soon all the Jojo brothers gathers around him. “Alright, they’re all here and I’ll put you on speaker.” Josuke said as he presses a button on the phone machine. “Before we get to the important stuff, how are you boys doing these days? Behaving in school well?” Hamon Sage asked kindly. “We’re all doing great, Sir Hamon Sage, I even got back together with Rarity.” Jonathan said. “Same with me and Pinkie, and some of us got their own girlfriends too.” Joseph mentioned. “That includes Jotaro too.” Johnny added. “Really? I never I live to hear that the stubborn Jotaro who never take interest in girls actually got one.” Hamon Sage chuckled. “Is it really that hard to believe that I can find love like everyone else?” Jotaro asked “Actually, yes.” Joseph answered as most of the brothers agreed with him. “Yare yare daze, you guys are unbelievable.” Jotaro sighed his usually catchphrase. “Now, onto business, I had a vision that you will be facing tougher enemies who serves the Dark brothers.” Hamon reported. “Are these enemies also happen to be Stand Users because we just found out about ours when we went to camp.” Giorno mentioned. “I believe so, which is why I’m sending you backup.” Hamon Sage said. “Backup, you mean like other Stand Users?” Jonathan asked. “Yes, though I’m only sending you one in a short time because the other three I requested will be coming much later.” Hamon Sage said. “Is there anything we should know about this one backup so Jotaro and Josuke can get along with?” Giorno asked. “Hey, why are you signing us off like may not like the guy?” Josuke asked angry. “Because you and Jotaro are the most likely people to lose his temper the most than the rest of us when comes to things that annoys you or mock your hair.” Giorno pointed out, Josuke grunts while Jotaro just tip his hat down covering his eyes. They hate it when he’s right. “Well, this “guy” doesn’t get along with anyone except me and let just say he’s a little all bark and bites very hard.” Hamon Sage hinted, leaving the Joestar brothers confuses. “What the hell does that mean?” Joseph asked. “That’s all I can say, you’ll have to meet the fellow himself. Anyway, he’ll be arriving at your home probably tomorrow at noon, in a helicopter that will land in your backyard. And remember, together you’re all stronger as one. Goodbye my young Jojos.” Hamon Sage said. “Goodbye, Hamon Sage.” All Joestar brothers said their farewell before hanging up the phone. “Hmm, I wonder who this guy is with what the Hamon Sage said?” Joseph asked curious. “We’ll have to wait and see the man himself, though if you ask me, it almost sounds like the guy is into dogs.” Josuke theorized. “Oh, so he must be an animal lover like Fluttershy, I’m sure she would love to meet another animal lover and maybe he’ll help around the shelter too.” Giorno hoped, considering the animal shelter is short-handed on help of taking care of the animals. “Whoever this person is, let’s be sure to give him feel welcome here in our home and the city.” Jonathan said, wondering if the mysterious backup guy is friendly. “We should also tell the girls about him too, they always like making new friends.” Josuke said. “Yeah, especially my beloved Pinkie, I’m sure she’ll be thrill to” Suddenly the phone rang again right when Joseph was talking about his girlfriend. They’re all confused of who could be calling them now, knowing it couldn’t be the Hamon Sage because he already said everything he needed to say to the brothers unless he forgot something else which is highly doubtful. Joseph picks up the phone answering it to hear who could it be. “Huh, hello?” “JOOOJOOO! Is it true that someone new is coming to Canterlot city tomorrow?” Pinkie shouted through the phone that everyone could hear like it was on speaker. “…Uh, yes, Pinkie, that’s true but how’d you know?” Joseph confused, groaning in pain a bit from being shouted in the ear. “My Pinkie Sense silly, it went off telling me we’ll be having a new friend coming to town. Oh, I can’t to meet him or is it her, guess we’ll known when the guest comes, and that guest be surprises he or she will want to be my FRIEND! Well, got to go now Jojo, cakes to bake and decorations to set up, oh, and I’ll get the girls to join in. Bye Jojo!” Pinkie talked fast and hanged up the phone leaving the confused Jojo brothers. “O…kay, looks like Pinkie is already working on the welcome party.” Joseph said. “Dude… seriously, how the hell did end up with that girl in the first place?” Josuke asked. “Oh, you how it is with two people first becoming friends then later becoming a couple though in Pinkie Pie’s case; it was sooner than expected because she mentioned something about a timeskip in the story to where my brothers will come to Canterlot High because of the author.” Joseph explained, causing more confusion to his brothers. “What…?” Jotaro asked tilting his head a bit. “Yeah, I really didn’t know what she was talking about either, but I didn’t bother to ask or look into it anymore because I realized Pinkie Pie is just being Pinkie Pie, and that’s all I’m saying.” Joseph shrugged before walking away back to his room The brothers are still confused about Pinkie somehow knowing about the newcomer to town and she also already knew about the other four Joestar brothers coming to Canterlot High with the return of Joseph and Jonathan which feels a little scary that the crazy, party-loving girl can somehow know about all that. The more they think about it trying to figure out about Pinkie, the more confusion it’ll only make and so they decided to just leave it be, to never question about Pinkie again. Otherwise it will just leave some headaches to the boys as they have to be ready for the backup guy to arrive. (Tomorrow) “Alright everyone, let’s be sure that everything is ready.” Twilight said holding a clipboard and looking at the decorations in the Joestar house backyard. “Balloons?” “Check!” Rainbow and Sunset said. “Banner?” “Check!” Fluttershy reported as her bird friends are hanging the banner that says “Welcome” on it with glitter. “And it such a fine banner, if I do say so myself.” Rarity said. “Some extra protection to make sure they don’t get blown away by the helicopter?” Twilight asked. “Check!” Applejack said as she and Johnny are making sure everything it well tight to the ground and the banner on the wall. “Welcome cake?” “Double Check!” Pinkie cheered holding the cake with the word “Welcome” on it though it’s in the shape of a bone for some reason. “Alright everyone, looks like everything is ready for the guest.” Twilight said checking off the checklist. “Hey guys, are we late?” Flash asked coming into the backyard with Derpy. “Nope, you’re actually a it early and I see you brought your girlfriend with you.” Joseph smirked. Yes, what Joseph just said is true; Flash Sentry has got himself a new girlfriend and she’s Derpy Hooves, the girl with cross eyes and her love for muffins as she is carrying a basket of them in her hands as some snacks for the welcome party. They’ve been together for a few weeks right after the defeat of Gaia Everfree and Kars back at Camp Everfree, Flash though long and hard until he came to the conclusion that his love is for Derpy as she feels the same way and the two have hit it off wonderfully. “Yeah, Derpy wanted to come meets the newcomer herself.” Flash explained. “I hope he likes muffins, I know I do.” Derpy smiled. “Helicopter incoming!” Josuke alerted, pointing up at the helicopter slowly making it descend to the ground. As the helicopter lands, to men in uniform comes out looking at the group. “Which of you are the Jojo brothers?” Man 1 asked. “That would be us, good sir.” Jonathan answered as he and his brothers walk up ahead of the group. “Alright, now just to warn you this guy is can be stubborn so try to get on his good side.” Man 2 warned. “I’m sure we will get along.” Jonathan assured. “Oh yeah, here are his favorite treats, coffee flavor bubble gum.” Man 2 tossed the box of gum and Joseph catches it. “Seriously, what kind of idiot would like this stuff?” Joseph asked. As Man 1 opens the door, something cover in a cloth jumps out of the helicopter and runs to Joseph scaring him as it jumps onto him and took the box of gum from his hand, but what shocked everyone the most is that it’s a dog. The dog is a small, black and white dog. His face is more cartoonishly human, with a large forehead, a small mouth and larger ears. His eyes are more expressive. “Aw, is this the backup man’s dog.” Fluttershy asked as she hold out her hand to pet it, but the dog simply growls and barks at her to go away which frightens her. “Speaking of which, where is he?” Josuke asked, looking inside the sits only to find them empty. “That just it, the dog here IS your backup and his name is Iggy.” Man 2 revealed. “WHAAAAT?!” Everyone gasped. “I knew baking a bone shape cake would come in handy!” Pinkie smiled, glad she did it. “You can’t be serious, you mean to tell us that this… ‘dog’ is the backup Hamon Sage told us about?” Joseph asked. “Actually, now that I think about what he said describes him being a dog perfectly.” Giorno pointed out. “How the HELL is this dog suppose to be our backup?” Josuke exclaimed. But what Josuke or anyone here don’t know is that Iggy the dog is more special than what he appears to be as Josuke is about to find that out the hard way. Something burst out behind Josuke and before he could react, it wraps itself around trapping the cool-hair boy. “What the, is this… sand?” Josuke asked, feeling his bind is sand. “Where did that come from?” Joseph confused. Then the sand prison raises along with Josuke and threw him to a wall crashing into the banner ripping it down. “My word, I don’t know how, but… Iggy is a Stand User!” Jonathan figured out the strange sand attack and everyone became shock while Iggy just smirks. Then the sand comes to Iggy forming into its appearance for everyone to see. The form is that of a mechanical, quadruped creature, combined with something like a car chassis, with thick wheels for hind legs, and pawed mechanical front legs equipped with two to three cables, each linking the paws to the body. Its head and face are comprised of a growling tribal mask with eight or nine feathers sticking from its head. It’s a mix of a mammal-like beast and a car. “Whoa, no way, the dog is a Stand User?” Johnny shocked, can’t believe it yet he’s seeing it with his own eyes. “Wait, I though others can’t see Stands and yet I see it clearly?” Derpy confused from what Flash told her. “It must be one of those Stand that can be seen.” Flash guessed. “Oh yeah, then let see how tough your Stand is? Crazy Diamond!” Josuke shouted bringing out his Stand. “DORARARARARARARARA” Crazy Diamond unleashed a barrage of super-fast punches at Iggy’s Stand and the fists goes right through it though doesn’t appear to be flinching in the least. Then the sandy Stand closes itself trapping Crazy Diamond’s fists in the sand struggling to break free. “Hey, let go you stupid mutt!” Josuke demanded. Iggy still smirks hand have his Stand to attack by striking its metal-like paw at Crazy Diamond in the stomach, punching it across the face, then a strong headbutt as all the pain the pink Stand feels are reflected onto Josuke as he gasps in pain. Iggy’s Stand finally let go of Crazy Diamond as it fades away back into Josuke and he falls onto his knees. “Josuke, are you okay?” Rainbow worried running to him. “Beaten by a dog, never thought that would happen.” Josuke groaned. “Josuke and I trained with our Stands finding them to be equal, if I were to fight Iggy now then I would end losing too.” Jotaro admitted much to Sunset’s shock. “Okay everyone, if we’re all done with the fighting and Stands, I think it’s time to get this party started!” Pinkie announced as she hops to Iggy holding the cake to him. “Here Iggy, coffee flavor cake just for you, enjoy!” Pinkie placed the cake in front of the dog, he sniffs the cake to his joy barks happily and starts eating the cake. “Thanks, I knew you like it!” Pinkie smiled. “By the way, what’s the name of you Stand?” Pinkie asked curious. Iggy made his Stand form into four words that says “The Fool.” “Huh, Pinkie… how did you know that Iggy would like coffee flavor gum or cake in this case?” Fluttershy asked. “Because the author gave me some insight on Iggy and made the cake for him, don’t worry though I made another cake for us inside.” Pinkie skipped to the house leaving everyone confused of Pinkie as always and just let it slide as they look at Iggy. Iggy just looks at them with a sinister smile as he thinks in his head that this is going to be fun. To Be Continue...
