> JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Equestria Girls > by Brony117 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a month since the battle with Dio in Egypt, and the price of victory was too high. Iggy, Avdol, and Kakyoin, lost their lives that day. But their sacrifice will not be forgotten, the group's goal wouldn't be possible without them. The survivor's, Jotaro, Joseph, and Polnareff, went their separate ways as their journey came to an end, perhaps one day they'll meet again. As both Joestar descents returned to Japan, they were greeted by a healthy Holly, and her mother, Suzi Q. Jotaro and Joseph were relieved that Holly has made a full recovery. The family celebrated that day and explained how their adventure became quite bizarre. Seeing the precious moment Joseph is in with his family, he nearly lost his daughter due to Dio's reappearance, the old man made the decision of bringing Holly and Jotaro, to America. This surprised the Kujo family and his wife as they asked why would he say such a thing? He explained by saying should another similar incident should happen, they might not have the answer of who's responsible. And of course he secretly wanted Holly to return home with them. Seeing he made sense, Holly agreed to move back to America. For now at least. Her husband, Sadao, who was always on tour and rarely home, was messaged that she'll be with her parents for a while until Joseph has calmed down. As for Jotaro, he didn't have much choice as he moved with his mother. There wasn't much for him back in Japan such as friends or among other things. Plus, someone has to keep an eye on her incase his mother does something reckless. He only hoped from now on things will be quiet… Present Day, Canterlot Monday, the worst day of the week. Why? School. And worse, waking up early to get ready. But that's life in America now as Jotaro forced himself up from his bed and prepared for the day. Life in a new place and city has been normal and boring, but mostly normal. There hasn't been much excitement since his trip to Egypt, when everywhere you go, someone is out to kill you. And not a single stand user in sight. Basically, it's not bad! Still, that doesn't mean it's normal, rumor has it that strange things have happened during his stay in Canterlot, a large rainboom appeared one night, and a crazy light show during a school music event. Jotaro wonder if it was the work of a stand user, but he had never encountered one since then. Personally, he rather not be involved as Joseph wanted to keep things quiet with their stands. It wasn't his problem anyway, but somehow, stand users attracts other stand users. That's one of the reasons why the old man wanted to keep him and his mother close by, who knows what type is stand user is loose in the world. Until then, he'll have to keep his guard up. Wearing his uniform, Jotaro wore a maroon blazer with a vest, and blue tie, along with dark blue pants and a pair of black shoes. Least to say, he looked...pathetic. It was the school dress code to look appropriate, for someone like Jotaro, it didn't suit him at all. Oh well, at least he kept his hat. Now ready for school, Jotaro grabbed his belongings and left his house. Not before… "Jotaro!" He turned around and saw his mother run in towards him and said. "Where do you think you're going young man, you almost forgot something!" "*Sigh* Let me guess, a goodbye kiss?" "That's right!" Holly grabbed and turned Jotaro's face and gave him a peck on his cheek. Normally the teenager would shove her away from such a childish act, but nearly losing his mother at the time made him a bit soft on her, so he let her give him a goodbye kiss. "*Tch* Come on, I'm not a little kid damn it! When are you gonna stop doing that?" "Only when I feel like it!" "Of course you will, I'll see you after school." "Okay!" Walking away and heading towards School, Jotaro once again sighed. He really hated those goodbye kisses. It may looked cute when he was a young kid, but he's a teenager now, it's unnecessary! "Good grief, she's still a pain in my ass." Jotaro said as he tipped his hat. Things will never change. "Hey look it's Jojo!" "It is Jojo!" "No way! It's him!" "Yo! Jojo, wait up!" Jotaro kept walking as both girls AND boys walked and talked to him. The girls wanted to get his attention and perhaps go on a date with him, the guys however wanted to hang out with him since he's one of those types of guys who looked cool. Yup. Things will never change… One of the girls grabbed his arm and, one of the guys grabbed his shoulder as they said. "Hey there Jojo! You free after school? I was wondering if you wanted to see that new movie that just came out! I heard it's amazing!" "Yo Jojo! Why don't you join the team? Seriously! Those muscles of yours mean you gotta be strong! That other team won't know what hit em!" Suddenly and another boy and girl pulled the other two away from Jotaro and said. "What the hell are you doing you slut! You just can't grab Jojo like that! He's not into girls who just throw themselves onto him!" "What you say to me you bitch?!" "Dude, what are you doing?! You can't just act friendly to Jojo! You barely even know him! Plus he's too cool for someone like you!" "The hell you say asshole?!" "SLUT SLUT SLUT SLUT!!!!" "BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH!!!" "DUMBASS DUMBASS DUMBASS DUMBASS!" "ASSHOLE ASSHOLE ASSHOLE ASSHOLE ASSHOLE!" Their argument was non stop! Jotaro immediately turned around and screamed. "SHUT UP!!! GODDAMN IT, WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE IN PEACE?!" The whole group stared at Jotaro for screaming at them, and then… "KYAAA! Did you see that?! Jojo talked to me!" "No way! He was talking to me!" "YOOO! You guys saw that look on his face?! He's looked so awesome!" "Now that's a face of a badass right there!" Seeing it didn't work, the poor teen just rolled his eyes and walked away from the group and continued his trip to the school. Both boys and girls followed him as they continued talking to him. Canterlot, Crystal Prep Academy. Crystal prep, only the richest people can afford to send their children to this great school and it's one of the few schools that exist in the city. Many apply, few are accepted. Surprisingly, Jotaro was accepted into the school when they settled in. Joseph was very surprised to hear his grandson was going to a school that took him in! How in the world did this troublemaker get in?! While, he may not look like it, but Jotaro does study and get good grades on his school work. He just doesn't show any interest when attending. You can imagine how the oldest Joestar's reaction looked like! Still, it didn't mean he liked the school. It may look nice on the outside, but inside, the students don't give a damn about you if your new or been here longer. They are full of ego, and care about popularity. Yet they make good grades despite their attitude. When Jotaro first arrived, he was a nobody to them. Obviously he didn't care, yet some girls did see how attractive he was. But that all changed when he encountered a hot-shot school bully who saw him as a target, he made the wrong decision of bullying Jotaro. But that's a story for another time. Entering the building, Jotaro was greeted by the other students, giving him a quick hello or a shout out. Even some of the teachers greeted him along the way! He ignored them as he headed towards his locker, he didn't care for the popularly he gain. As he found his locker, he opens it and takes what's needed for today's classes. He hoped that today will go by quick, this place irritates him every day. Closing his locker, he felt someone running into him. The force barely moved him, but the other person fell flat on ther bottom. Seeing who bumped into him, Jotaro saw a girl wearing casual clothing instead of the uniform the other students wear, her hair is tied to a bun and she appears to be looking for something. "M-My glasses! I can't see without them!" Nearby his feet, Jotaro found the girl's glasses. He signed as he picked them up and said. "Relax, I found them. Hold out your hand." "Oh! Thank you! I really appreciate that!" Taking her glasses from the stranger, she placed them over her eyes saw clearly. "Ah, that's better! Eep!" "Hmm?" "I-I-I uh…" "Got something to say?" "Umm...N-Nothing! I just didn't think someone like you would take a moment to help me." "Someone like me? What do you mean?" Asked Jotaro, what did this girl mean, 'Someone like him'? "Well, what I mean is someone who is popular such as you would help me for nothing." The girl replies. "Ah, you heard about that. To be honest, I don't give a damn about my reputation. I just wanna go on with the rest of my day and head on home. Believe me, I'm not like the rest of these idiots." The girl was surprised to hear that, most of the students here cared about their reputation. But this one here didn't! Interesting, but... "Really? But what about the other students who hang around and walk with you?" "They're nothing but pests, they just want to be near me because of some fight I won against an idiot who thought a transfer student from another country would be an easy target. I showed him wrong." "Transfer student? Oh! You're Jojo aren't you? I heard someone from Japan was attending here, I didn't think it was you!" "That's me alright, and my name isn't Jojo. It's just a nickname that others gave me since my first and last name have the word 'Jo' on it. Back home the other students called me Jojo too, so it's nothing new." "Oh well, what is your real name? If you don't mind me asking that is." "It's Jotaro. Jotaro Kujo." "Jotaro? That's a nice name. I'm Twilight. Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you!" "Likewise. As much as I enjoy our talk, I gotta go, class is about to start. I hate being late." "Oh, sorry! I-I'll just be out of your way, I gotta go too! See you later perhaps?" "That's if we run into each other, just make sure you see where you're going next time. I doubt these people will give you a helping hand." "Ain't that the truth, see ya later!" Both teens went their separate ways to their destination, but it will not be the last time they will see each other. Later that day. "Jotaro Kujo, please report to Principal Cinch's Office. Jotaro Kujo, to the office!" "Good grief, what now…" Walking towards the Principal's office, Jotaro wondered why the hell they needed him for? If it's about that damn fight a while back, then it's time to face the consequence. Of course he'll say it was self-defense, but knowing how these people work, it'll be blackmailing for sure. Damn it! Entering the office, there she was, the rudest and perhaps the bitchiest person in this school, Principal Cinch. If only it was Dio, then things will be messy. Seeing her student at the door, Cinch said. "Ah, Mr. Kujo, please take a seat." Taking a seat, Jotaro listen to what was this about. "I'm glad you are here Mr. Kujo, before we can begin how's your stay in Crystal Prep? I'm sure someone such as you from another country must be having some difficulty adjusting here in our school." "Not really, things are actually quite the same. Students here are noisy as ever, and the teachers are dedicated to their job. It's almost as if I never left Japan." Cinch slightly frown as she heard what this young man has said about her school, but that didn't affect her much as she brushed it off. "I see, at least you are fitting in. That's the important thing, after all, not many can adjust like you can." "Hmph, can we skip to the reason why I'm here? I rather be somewhere else than here." "Straight to the point I see? Very well, I'll explain. I noticed you haven't decided to compete in this year's Friendship games, you have been making good grades since you attended. Why haven't you taken any interest? Many of our top students are participating, so shouldn't you?" ("This is why I'm here?") Jotaro thought. ("Not being part of some stupid school competition? What a waste of my time.") Jotaro has heard rumors of a school competition happening soon with another school when he moved here. Apparently it's a really big deal here at Crystal Prep, and they win all the time. So why does Cinch want him to participate? "Well Mr. Kujo? Care to explain?" "I've heard of the Friendship games, and honestly, I don't give a damn about it! If you expected to convince me to join, you're dead wrong. So you can shove up that invitation right up your ass for all I care. Thanks for wasting my time with this nonsense." Standing up and heading to the door, Cinch had one last thing to say before Jotaro left. "Very well, you don't have to join the games. But what will your mother think of you when she's gone?" Jotaro immediately froze, he turned around and gave her the angriest look he's ever done. "What did you say?!" "You heard me Mr. Kujo, so I'll explain what's going to happen. You join the Friendship games, win, your mother is safe. Refuse, well, you get the idea." "Don't you lay a finger on her you bitch!" "Oh it's not I'm going to do, it's 'they' at going to do!" "And who the hell is 'they?" "Hitmen obviously, think of what would happen if your mother was murdered during a home invasion gone wrong? You don't want that to happen to you?" Jotaro clenched his fists, he really wanted to use Star Platinum on Cinch, but can he? What if Cinch a stand user? What can she do? He hasn't seen her stand yet, perhaps she isn't a user. For now, he kept his guard up and said. "You're bluffing, a principle like you doesn't have those kind of connections." "You'd be surprised how desperate people are willing to do for money these days," Cinch Pulled out her phone and said. "all I have to do is send a message on my phone and your mother will die. Simple as that! Choose wisely Mr. Kujo." Jotaro was speechless, how did she do all of this?! Why are these games so damn important?! He nearly lost his mother before, and now it's happening again! Why can't she be left out of this?! He looks at the phone, if he can use Star Platinum to freeze time, then Cinch's plan is good as gone. But what if she has a back up plan? It could be worse than the current one, Damn it! He can't risk it, no matter how much Jotaro wants to find a way out! He gave Cinch his answer. "You're such a bitch, fine! I'll do it! Just leave my mother out if this!" "Then a have a deal, a wise choice Mr. Kujo! The games begin tomorrow morning, I recommend you sleep early tonight for it's a big day tomorrow. You'll need it." "*Tch* This isn't over Cinch, I'll finish you in a blink an eye." Cinch chuckles. "I'd like to as you try." "Trust me, you won't see it coming. To be continued... > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day… Today was the day, the Friendship games! Held every four years, both Crystal Prep and Canterlot High School compete against each other in activities to show who's the best in the games! Who will be the winner this year? Exiting the Crystal Prep building, Twilight saw two buses with students waiting to enter. But which bus is she suppose ride? Luckily, she saw Dean Cadance. Perhaps she can help? Walking towards her, Twilight asked. "Dean Candace? I'm not really sure where to go? Is this the bus to-" "One second Twilight." Said the woman as she walked away to check on something. "You could try the end of the line ya know?" Twilight turned around to the student, Sour Sweet, giving her an attitude. "I'm sorry but, what did you say?" "Just that someone as smart as you should definitely go first!" Wait, what? This girl was rude to her for a second, now she's nice? What a strange student. "Sorry I..I didn't mean to I was just-" "Starring fights are you? You don't seem the type to cause one." Looking behind her, a familiar face she recognized. Twilight smiled as she said. "Jotaro! Oh, am I glad to see you! what are you doing here? And...are you ok?" The poor teen looked like he barely got any sleep, under his eyes has dark bags! What happened? "I'm...fine. Just couldn't sleep last night, I was excited for the games today." "Your participating in the Friendship games?" Twilight replied as she raised an eyebrow. "You don't look like the type to be that interested." "I changed my mind, I wanted to see how these games work. Back in japan we have school festivals that include activities like sports, and other things. So I signed up at the last minute." Before she could say anything Dean Cadence returned. "This is the right bus Twilight, head on in." Another student, Sunny Flare, spoke up and said. "Why don't you go before Twilight Jojo! After all, you look you could use some rest!" "Yeah, someone as handsome like you should go in front of us! Unlike someone who tried to cut in line!" Sweet Sour said as she switched her mood for Jotaro as she gave him a wink. He's such a dreamy guy… Feeling annoyed, Jotaro tipped his hat, damn these girls. Such a pain. "Good grief, come on Twilight." Smiling, Twilight entered the bus with Jotaro. He sure is an interesting person, she wonders if she could learn more about him. And perhaps...he could learn more about her? Just thinking about him makes her blush! Hard to believe they just met yesterday, it feels like they've known each other for a while. Wait...is What the other girls are feeling towards him? Is this what they call a 'crush'? But how?! Well Jotaro is tall, smart, and has good muscles! Plus his attitude is not what most girls would go for, but it's giving off a bad boy vibe that is making them fall for him. Does every girl want that? Does she want that? Jotaro, on the other hand, was thinking about how to beat Cinch's plan. Last night took a toll on him, if everything goes to plan, perhaps he'll give her a beating she'll never forget! It may be wrong to hit a woman, but that bitch threaten his family! So he'll make an exception, just this once. Hopefully no one gets caught in the crossfire. As the teen enter the bus, Indigo Zap appeared out of nowhere screaming, surprising the two students. "Are we gonna win?" "I...I don't know." "Wrong answer! Try again. Are we gonna win?" "Um…" "Let me handle this." Said Jotaro as placed a hand on Twilight's shoulder and said."Are gonna win? Are we? From what I've heard Crystal Prep always wins, but CHS is doing something better with whatever method it is, but they'll think twice if they think they are gonna win this time. You wanna know why?" "Why?" Asked the passengers. "Because we're Shadowbolts! And we're not gonna let some losers who call themselves 'Wondercolts' get the jump on us! So again, who are we?!" "Shadowbolts!" "It's not enough, I can't hear you! WHO ARE WE?! "SHADOWBOLTS!!!" All the students yelled in cheer as their spirit for the games has been raised! "Damn right we are! Now let's go out there and kick their asses!" "YEAH!!" "Nice speech there kid, ever thought about being a coach?" Said the Bus driver who was there the entire time. "Shut up old man, come on Twilight." Replied Jotaro as he and Twilight searched for a seat. Walking further in the bus, the students were giving high fives and complements to the Joestar descendant. Finding a seat, and sitting down, Twilight spotted another student near her and said. "Hi, Sugarcoat." "That was a cool speech Jojo, I'm glad wherever Twilight was gonna say you said it better than her." "Whatever." He replied as Twilight frowned as she was ignored. She opened her backpack to reveal Spike, her pet dog hidden inside. "Well Spike, at least I've got you with me." "Better keep that mutt in that bag, if you don't want to lose him." Twilight turned to Jotaro. "Oh, sorry, I didn't-" "I don't hate dogs if that's what your thinking, I just hate to see him getting taken away if you care about him that much. So, I'll keep quiet." She smiled. "Thanks Jotaro, and if you don't mind me asking, why are you being so friendly towards me? We just met, and we're not even friends." "Who knows, maybe it's just that I see someone such as you don't deserve such an attitude from these people. As for friends, I really don't care. If you want to be friends with me, then my guest, just don't expect me to be friendly. Plus…" Jotaro gently scratched the dog's chin, which he liked very much. "I have a soft spot for this little guy, hate to see him sad." Twilight's smile grew, looks like Jotaro does have a nice side to him. And what he said about being friends with him, guess they're now. Even if he cares or not. One hour later, Canterlot High School. The ride to Canterlot High was pleasant, but not quiet, A student, Lemon Zest, was enjoying her music when she shared it with the others. At least Jotaro took a nice nap to catch some sleep, he need for today if he's gonna win the games, or beat the living shit out of Cinch. Hopefully both. Feeling the bus coming to a stop, he woke and found himself in front of Canterlot High. It looked like a normal high school, maybe a bit better than Crystal Prep. But it looks like they have a theme here, their statue in front of the building is a horse, even the other statues on the roof are horses! No wonder they call themselves Wondercolts. He then saw a woman with soft rainbow colored hair speaking to Cinch, looks like their talking about the Friendship games.  "Alright kids time to get out the bus!" All of the students grabbed their belongings left the bus, they are so ready to beat Canterlot High! Heading towards the exit, Jotaro saw Twilight Being pushed out of the way by Indigo Zap, she is gonna fall! Acting quickly, Star Platinum appeared next to him and reached out towards Twilight! Feeling someone grabbing her, Twilight looked behind her and saw Jotaro hold her next to him! "Good grief, is this gonna be a regular routine? Me saving you?" "I sure hope not, but thanks for the save!" "Sure" He replied as she was released from his hold. "Nice catch!" Said Sunny Flare. "Hopefully we that move in the games, if Twilight doesn't screw it up that is." "Aw...lucky!" Complained Sour Sweet. "Being caught like that and standing next to Jojo like that! Why couldn't it be me!" "Whatever, Sour, let's go." Both girls left with the other students to catch up. Leaving Jotaro and Twilight to themselves. Suddenly a light blinked around Twilight's neck. She grabbed her device and saw it Pointing to her right. Turning it, the light pointed straight this time! Could it be? A reading! And it's somewhere inside the school! Catching his attention, Jotaro asked. "What's that you got there?" "It's a device I created yesterday, it detects, well your gonna find hard to believe, magic." "Magic? What do you mean magic? Like magician, hocus pocus magic?" "Not really, but only one way to find out! Care to join me?" Jotaro looked behind him as the other Crystal Prep students we chatting amongst each other, ignoring both him and Twilight. He then saw Cinch still talking to the rainbow haired woman. Seeing Cinch made him boil in anger! "*Tch* Lead the way, I'd rather not be standing around being bored for who knows how long." "Great! Follow me!" Heading inside, two Canterlot students, Lyra, and Bon Bon, greeted them. "Hi Twilight! Hi Jotaro!" Surprised they know their name, Jotaro just tipped his hat as Twilight ignored them. Now inside the building, and headed further in, another student greeted them! "Hey Twilight! Jotaro! Good to see ya!" This time, Twilight was surprised. Who is she? Does she even know her? Even Jotaro was caught off guard again! This is getting strange. Walking even further more, more students said hello. "Hi Twilight!" "Hey, Jotaro still looking good!" "Twilight! Love those glasses!" "Jotaro! What's up?" "Hey you two! Still together I see!" "The power Couple are back! Hopefully we can win this time!" As they stopped their tracks, both teens just looked at each other with surprised looks. "What the hell is going on here?" "I don't know! You're telling me! How is it possible that the students here know us?" "I have no idea, I swear this better not be a prank or else we're in the Twilight Zone. The show, not you." "None taken. Come on, we don't have time for distractions!" "Right, as if things can't get any weirder." As they kept searching for the source, Twilights device opened! "I found a source!" "Is it suppose to do that? Wait, what's that!" Looking up, a purple mist was heading towards them! Jotaro quickly summoned Star Platinum! Is this the work of an enemy stand?! Damn it! And Twilight is here! She'll get hurt! "Get back!" "No wait!' Seeing the mist floating to them, the device absorbed it! As it closed, Twilight was speechless. "Woah…" "What was that?" "Magic. It's gotta be it! And its source came from that room! Come on!" "Twilight wait! Who knows what could be in there!" Hearing his warning, but ignoring it, Twilight opened the door and revealed… "Twilight?" "Uh...yes?" Six girls wearing weird costumes happily saw her, almost as if they haven't seen her in a while! "Twilight!" Shouted Jotaro as he followed her in. "Damn it I said-uh...what's going on here?" "Jotaro!" The six girls walked towards the two and one by one said. "Well I'll be! You shoulda told us you two were coming!" "Oh uh...Darling, those glasses, and you Jotaro, that look. What are you two wearing?" "My uniform?" Said Twilight, she was confused about how these girls know her and Jotaro. Seriously what is going on here? "Your uniform for what?" Asked one of the girls. "For Crystal Prep, it's obvious we're from there, seeing you girls aren't wearing them. Aside from those dumbass costumes." Replied Jotaro. One of the girls was shocked, how dare Jotaro offends her design! "Jotaro Kujo, how dare you mock my hard work!" "Do I look I give a damn? If this is how you will look in the games, then good luck. I'd doubt how the other students will react to those." "Wait, did you say Crystal Prep?" *Bark* *Bark* "Spike!" Shouted the girls as the dog appeared out of the backpack. "You know my dog's name too? Who are you people?" "You six better tell me how you know us, or things are gonna be messy!" "Woah! Woah! No need for violence! And there's no need for Star Platinum! You can put him away!" "*Urk* You can see my stand?! "Star Platinum? Stand? What's that?" Asked Twilight. Seriously what's going on here?! Before he could reply… "Twilight? Jotaro?" "This is getting ridiculous!" "Good grief, what now." Turning around, Jotaro was met face to face with Cinch once again with the same woman from earlier. ("Shit. What's she doing here?!") Cinch walked up to the two and said. "I apologize for my curiosity of my two prized students." "Your students?" "Yes, as you can see, the smart ones are always curious." Cinch grabbed their shoulders. " I'll return them to check in with the rest of the students. If excuse me." All three left the group alone as they are confused about what happened here. Principal Celestia looked at the six girls and said. "I didn't know Twilight had a twin sister. Including Jotaro!" "She doesn't!" Replied Pinkie Pie as she gave an explanation which made poor principal was confused. Outside of CHS and walking to the rest of the students, Twilight apologised to Cinch. "I'm sorry Principal Cinch, I was just following these strange readings. Actually it led me those those girls and-" "Twilight, what you do in your free time is little interest to me, but while you're here I, or rather all of Crystal Prep, in fact, require your complete focus! Isn't that right Mr. Kujo?" Jotaro burned a hole in Cinch's face, if only it really happened. He really wanted to punch that damn woman. "Yes ma'am." Cinch smiled, as long as they are kept is check, especially Jotaro if he wants to keep his mother alive, then Crystal Prep will win. Suddenly. "Hey Jotaro!" Turning around, Cinch saw an old man walking towards them. Who is this man? And how does he know Jotaro? "Jotaro! I'm not too late am I? Have the games started yet?" "I'm sorry sir but who are you?" "Oh, where are my manners! My name is Joseph Joestar, and I'm here to see my grandson compete in the games!" To be continued... > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh where are my manners! My name is Joseph Joestar, and I'm here to see my grandson compete in the games!" Cinch raised an eyebrow, this man is Jotaor's grandfather? And what is he doing here? Something fishy is going on here. "I'm sorry Mr. Joestar, but the Friendship games are a private School event here. So any family members who wished to see the competition is not allowed." "Really? Then how come I have this flyer saying family members are welcomed?" "What?!" Joseph pulled out a flyer from his coat and handed out to Cinch, she took it and read it. Canterlot City Presents: The Friendship Games! Happening at Canterlot High! Family members, show some support your children by appearing in this exciting event happening every four years!    Food is provided, no outside snacks please. Cinch felt her blood pressure rising, she took a deep breath and left without saying a word. She's gonna get to the bottom of this and find out who's responsible for these flyers! "Huh, that was...interesting." "What are you doing here old man?" Jotaro asked."Don't have anything better to do?" "Of course I do! I'm here to watch you in the games!" "But what about-" "Don't worry she's here, come on out!" "Wait, you brought-" "Jotaro? Is that you?" Out of nowhere an old woman came out and greeted the teenager. "Jotaro! Oh my boy! I haven't seen you since in a while! How have you been?" Jotaro lowered his hat in frustration, while Twilight was confused about these people knowing her classmate. "You brought grandma Suzi Q with you?!" "Of course I did! You didn't think I would leave her would you?" "Oh my! And who is this young lady here next to you?" Twilight jumped a bit when the old woman spoke about her. "I...I'm Twilight Sparkle, a friend of Jotaro." "A friend you say?" Said Suzi Q as she looked at the girl with interest. "You sure your his friend? Or more than that my dear?" Twilight's face completely blushed as the woman thinks she is Jotaro's girlfriend! "N-N-Not at all! J-Jotaro is just a f-friend! That's all! I swear!" "Damn it…Twilight, why don't you go ahead and go ahead and join with the rest of the class? I'll take it from here." Said Jotaro as he gave her chance to get away from here, Grandma Suzi Q was somewhat tortured the girl. "S-Sure! I'll do that, thanks Jotaro." Seeing Twilight leaving, he turned to his grandparents and said. "God Dammit the hell is wrong with you two?! You can't just come here all of a sudden and joke around!" "Relax Jotaro," Joseph replied. "Your grandmother is just having some fun that's all! Isn't that dear?" "Hmm, I don't know...That Twilight girl looks like she'll make a good future wife for you! Well, with some training of course!" "*Tch* D-Damn you both." "Anyway, now that we're here, let's talk." Added Joseph. "About what?" "You know what I mean. The game plan! On how you'll win the games!" Moments later. Cinch was on her phone speaking to security back at Crystal Prep on who made those flyers. And it's not good news. "What do you mean there was no sign of tampering with the computers?! What about the cameras?" "Not even the cameras picked up anything, the footage is as usual, the whole building was empty last night! Not even a foot print! The alarm wasn't even triggered!" "You better find out whos done this or it is your job!" "*Gulp* Y-Yes ma'am!" Ending the call Cinch looked back at Jotaro and his grandfather, accompanied that appeared to be his wife. The boy did say 'he'll finish in a blink of an eye, and she won't see it coming'. Did he plan this? No it couldn't be, he doesn't look like a hacker. However some people do hide secrets from others, she'll have to keep an eye on him for a while. For now, just deal with the unplanned arrival of her students' parents. After all, what's not a better way to show the defeat of CHS to the public and show Crystal Prep is superior! Canterlot High School, Gymnasium. Before the games could begin, the students and their families were chatting amongst themselves and discussing what kind of events are going to be happening this year. As the students of CHS met the students of Crystal Prep, it wasn't a nice confrontation as tensions were high as anything could happen at any moment! Sunset Shimmer and her friends entered the gym, they saw Twilight hold her device looking for another magical source. It's still hard to believe this world's Twilight goes to Crystal Prep, even Jotaro! Meaning their the enemy! Is frightening to have the tables turned on them, who knows what could happen! Now with the portal closed thanks to that device, help won't be coming! It's up to them now. Wanting to know what and why she's absorbing magic, Sunset confronted Twilight, but before she could say a word her classmates, Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat, and Sunny Flare jumped in to argue. As this was going on, Jotaro and his grandparents sitting at a table looking...bored. "This party is terrible!" Complained Joseph as he looked at the food that is provided for the guests. "Carrots and Celery as our snacks?! And the dip is peanut butter?! What kind of crazy person would use peanut butter instead of ranch! If I had it my way, I would have thought of something better than this crap!" "Quit your bitching old man," Replied Jotaro. "vegetables are good for someone like you when their getting older!" "What you say?!" "Oh boys please, no need be loud." Said Suzi Q as she wasn't bothered by the argument. "At least the cheese cubes are good, that's that's a plus!" "Hmm...fine, only because there's enough cheese cubes to go around!" "Whatever." "Hello everyone!" Principal Celestia said as she stood on stage. "I'd like to take this opportunity to greet all of our visitors from Crystal Prep Academy, and the families of all students, to welcome them to CHS! Lastly, I would like to recognise the twelve students that CHS has elected to compete! I don't think we could've chosen a better group to represent the excellence, sportsmanship, and friendship the games stand for!" Suddenly the lights turned off, a disco ball was lowered down as it shines everywhere in the room, and confetti rains down from the roof. Even dancing music started playing as everyone in the room started dancing and mingle! Joseph looked surprised as the situation has changed in an instant! "What the? What happened? Where did that disco ball come from? And those cupcakes, they weren't here a second ago!" "Good grief old man calm down, no need to panic. This party was starting to bore me to death, I think I'll go see what Twilight is up to." Suzi Q smiled and said. "Don't you mean girlfriend? You sure like to hangout with her don't you?" Jotaro didn't say a word as he stood up and walked, why does she think he and Twilight are in a relationship? They barely know each other damn it! As their grandson left, Joseph picked out a Cupcake from the table. He inspects it and saw it as a regular food snack, seriously where did it come from? He took a bite and… "OOOH MMMYYY GOOOOD!!! Suzi Q! This cupcake! It's not like any other cupcake I've ever had before! You've gotta try some!" "No thank you, I'd like to keep my figure the way it is right now. I'm trying to watch my calories." "Heh, your loss!" As Jotaro looked for Twilight, he looked around seeing the students of both Crystal Prep and CHS having a good time! It's like the tension just disappeared, and now both sides are friends at an instant! Could there really be magic around this place? Then a bright light caught his attention near the bleachers, Twilight was there as she tries to close her device. She succeeded, and the lighted died down. Just what was that light? Why does Twilight's invention keep absorbing the so called 'Magic'? Why does she need it? And what for? *Screech* Jotaro covered his ears as the sound of feedback ringed everyone's ears, they turned to see Cinch on stage and spoke. "I'd like to thank Principal Celestia for her, unconventional welcome. It's been four years since the last friendship games, but it feels as though nothing has changed. Canterlot High continues to pick its competitors in a popularity contest and Crystal Prep continues to field it's top twelve students. It is a comfort to know that, even after so many years of losses, your school remains committed to its ideals, however misguided that may be. I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome." And just like that, the fun atmosphere in the room is gone. Her speech ruined the good time the people here had as they went their separate ways and started at each other with hate. Cinch sure takes these games seriously, like it's life or death. She really reminds Jotaro of Steely Dan, that bastard treated him like shit as he was poorly treated like a low life. Hell, he even took a beating for stealing a bracelet. Now that he thought about it, Cinch is just like Steely Dan! She forced him into the friendship games or else his mother will die! Steely Dan made him his bitch or else his grandfather will die!  ("Son of bitch! I played into this kind of situation again! I swear to God I'm gonna beat the shit out of that bitch! Just you wait Cinch, when the time comes, I'll make you pay!") To be continued... > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Friendship Games has begun, both schools are locked in a battle that will determine the fate of the world...at least that's how it feels. In reality, both twelve students from CHS and Crystal Prep have paired up in groups of two in order to advance. On the sidelines, the parent's or family members of the participating students cheered them on to give them motivation. First, Chemistry. It was simple really, follow instructions and pour in the right ingredients into the flask without blowing up in your face. Or worse. Most passed with ease, one however, failed. Not harm has been done, just a bit of a mess to clean up. And a bath. Second, Culinary. This next round was a challenge, half of the students don't even know how to bake properly. Not even knowing the right temperature! The judges, Celestia, Luna and, Candace, looked at the students hard work as not all of them impressed the women. But at least they had some good delicious cake. Nice! Third, Woodwork. A dangerous round as the students had to work with tools that could cause injury, of course no one was that dumb to mess with power tools. Again, some passed, some failed. Fourth, Spelling bee. This round was very difficult for the students as they were given words that were pretty hard to spell and was a bit advanced. Not all of the students passed while barley any of them made it to the next challenge. Fifth and final round for the first event, Math. Obviously the most difficult round ever, not many were fond of the subject. Sunset Shimmer, and Twilight were chosen to participate, and both began the event. And the end, Crystal Prep were victorious! Sadly, Twilight's classmates didn't seem happy or impressed with the win. (What a bunch of jerks am I right?) Leaving the stage, the Crystal Prep students left Twilight behind as they had no interest in her win against Sunset. All except Jotaro, who stayed behind to congratulate her. See him waiting for her made Twilight smile, he sure isn't like the rest of her teammates.  Meeting up with Jotaro, he said. "Nice work on the math question up there, I can't even understand how you were even able to solve it!" "Well, it takes a lot of studying to understand this kind of math. Trust me, it'll melt your brain of you tried." "I take your word for it, and if I come across a problem on my homework, I know who to call." "Sure thing! Just so you know, my services don't come cheap." Twilight joked as she nudged him playfully. "That right? Well then, guess I'll buy you lunch then." "Even better!" "Jotaro! Jotaro over here!" "Good grief," Said Jotaro as he tipped his hat. "Can that old man get any louder? "Apparently he can for someone his age, I'm surprised your grandfather is even in great shape! I wonder what's his secret?" ("You'd be surprised, that would be the power of his Hamon. Apparently it can keep them young, I'm not intelligent on it but that's how it works.") Looking at Twilight, he said. "I'll catch up to you later, I wonder what the old man wants with me." "Alright." Walking away from Twilight and towards Joseph, and Suzi Q, the elder Jostar spotted his grandson and said. "Ah there you are my boy! Been looking and calling for you for a while." "What do you want old man? This better be important." "This is important! Me and Suzi Q wanted to congratulate you for getting this far in the games! I must say, for a trouble maker such as yourself, you are smart in school!" "Oh I'm so proud of you Jotaro!" Suzi Q added. "If only your mother was here to see this. She would be proud!" "Right…" Joseph patted Jotaro on the back and replied. "Come on, no need to be to feeling down right now! Your mother is here, in spirit!" "Don't talk as if she's dead old man!" "Oh right, sorry that came out wrong." "Calm down you two, all this talk is making me hungry. How about we have some of my homemade food I made!" Suzi Q said as she brought out a picnic basket. Joseph smiled happily as his wife's cooking is always the best! Jotaro just shrugged as he was feeling hungry. Later that day… After having a nice lunch, the Joestar family walked to the next event. As they made it, the location is a football field transformed into motocross event! And in the middle, a large wooden ring around another area that appears to an archery event as well.  "Holy...They really went out on this one." "Tell my about, whoever set this up really wants to win." ("This has Cinch written all over it, there's no way CHS can afford to pay for all this!") "Oh dear, this event looks quite exciting! I hope we get good seats!" "Mr. Kujo!" "Good frigging grief…" Said Jotaro as he knew that voice from anyone. Turning around,  he saw Cinch with the other students, waiting for instructions. "*Sigh* Looks like duty calls...I'll see you two later." Giving their grandson a good luck, Jotaro met up with his class as Cinch says. "Glad you could join us Mr. Kujo, I hoped you had a good rest before we could begin the games once more?" "Sure, let's start then." Cinch stared at the teenage boy as she really pushed her buttons, she wanted to give the hitman the order already. But she calmed herself before she could lose her temper in front of her students. "Very well, let me begin the plan. As you can see with your own eyes, this event will be a team effort as you will race in pairs. Mr. Kujo and Indigo Zap will handle the motocross section." "Yes! Time to burn some rubber! Ain't that right Jojo!" "Whatever." "Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare have requested the short track, so it's theirs." Both girls gave each other high fives as they got this in the bag! "Since archery is a standard requirement at our school, any of you should do it. Twilight and sour sweet will start us off." "Well that's just marvelous! If you want to lose before we even start." Replied Sour Sweet, giving her partner poor trust in her ability to win. "Given that Twilight won the last event single-handedly, I have every confidence that she will be able to pull her weight here. WON'T you Miss Sparkle?" Hearing the slightest raise in her voice poor Twilight just nodded as she really didn't want to lose this event. Her application to Everton is on the line! Is she loses, she won't be able to reach her dream! As the time to begin the second event, the crowd cheers on in excitement as this will be the most action pack they'll see! "Welcome everyone to the friendship games' Tricross relay!" Said Cadence over the microphone. "In this event, our qualifying competitors will face off in archery, speed skating, and finally motocross! So, if the competitors are ready, begin!" The sound of an air horn honked, signaling the competitors to start! Up first, Sweet Sour, and Twilight Vs. Fluttershy And Applejack in archery! First Sweet Sour and Fluttershy hopped over some stacks of hay, then grabbed their bow and quiver filled with arrows, and rope swing onto a small platform to shoot their targets. Sweet Sour finished first with ease, while Fluttershy had some trouble shooting her arrow, it gave Twilight a head start. But the poor girl didn't do a good performance as she fell flat on her face jumping over the haystack. Getting back up and running to picking up her bow and quiver, she grabbed the rope and swung onto the platform, however she nearly fell into the my as her foot barely touched the platform. Seeing how pathetic Twilight is doing Sweet Sour is having one heck of a stress as she really hated her partner. She looked at Fluttershy as she started to get the hang of using her bow, then, her arrow hit the bullseye! Giving Applejack a thumbs up to come over here and finish it! Now on the platform with her partner, Applejack aimed her arrow and fired. Sadly her shot nearly hit the center, but Fluttershy clapped for her as she almost made it. Doing the same, Twilight fired her arrow, but it didn't hit her target, far from it in fact. She turned to Sweet Sour as she growled at her for missing! Back with Applejack, she took a deep breath and released her arrow. *Fwip* *Tack* Bullseye! On the Roller skating track, Its Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare against Rarity, and Pinkie Pie! Hearing their alarm going off, both CHS students rolled off around the ring and finished a lap. Giving Sweet Sour another angry mood. "Well, that's just fantastic! We lost this one because of you!" "Boo you suck!" Shouted Indigo Zap. "Shut up Zap!" "Sorry Jojo!" Now demoralized, Twilight, started to cry as nobody had confidence in her! If only Jotaro was here next to her, maybe he can help. But he wasn't. Darn it, why can't she get a break from all of the abuse! With Jotaro, seeing Twilight not doing so well, made him wish he was there to help her. If only he could use Star Platinum to just guide the arrow to the target, then they can begin. But she's out his range! Even if he used that 'ability', it won't give him the time to reach back to his bike! Suddenly he saw one of the CHS Students walking next to Twilight talking to her, it looks like she's helping her! Twilight aimed her arrow once more, waited, and fired. *Fwip* *Tack* Bullseye! The arrow hit its mark! Giving Lemon Zest, and Sunny Flare the chance to go! Now all he had to do is wait! Eventually, their alarm went off, and both teams drove off! Unknown to them, a couple of portals were opening, and something was coming out... Driving their bikes and jumping over ramps, Jotaro and the other where head to head on the race course. He had to admit, this is pretty fun! That all changed when a portal opened in front of him and the other racers! From it was a giant plant that looked like a venus flytrap! "WHAT THE HELL?!" Out of nowhere, another plant snatched Jotaro off of the course! Miraculously, the plant bit down on his bike as he hung onto the vehicle for his life! He looked up and saw the plant ready to attack again. Jotaro released his grip and his bike was destroyed by the creature. As he fell, he summoned Star Platinum to grab onto the plants roots as it slow his descend. Now on the ground, Jotaro looked up and saw the plant charging to attack again. As it came close… "Ora!" Star Platinum's punch knocked the huge plant back away as it collided with another plant. Jotaro kept his guard up incase of another attack, a bike drove past him, it was a CHS student! Rainbow Dash is her name is it? He saw her saving her teammate Sunset Shimmer from another plant. Then she glowed! She stopped her bike, removed her helmet, and grew ears on her head and wings! ("What the hell?! What is going on?! Is this the magic Twilight mentioned? How is this possible? Is that how they were able to see my stand?") Driving on Rainbow Dash's Bike, Sunset stopped next to Jotaro and said. "Need a lift?" "Do I need to ask? You drive, I'll take care of these bastards!" Getting on the bike and driving off, Both teenagers were now prepared against the creatures. Wanting Answers, Jotaro said. "Tell me, what's going on here?! Where did these things come from? And what's causing those portals to open?" "I have an idea, your friend Twilight, she has something to do with this! I don't know how but ever since you guys arrived, she's absorbing magic for some reason and it's causing all this mess!" "I know how she's doing this," Jotaro replied. "but we have to find her before anymore more of these plants come out and start killing people!" "Right! Ya know, your handling this situation better than I thought." "The shit I've been through before I moved here doesn't compare to this! I've been shot at, stabbed, nearly burned alive, beaten up, and almost been crushed by a road roller!" "Sweet Celestia, how are you still alive?!" "I've been asking that question myself everyday, enough chit chat, drive!" Meanwhile on the stands, seeing the large plants coming out of nowhere, the crowd panicked as they tried to escape! Joseph protected Suzi Q from harm as many people all around moved everywhere! "Damn it! What the hell is going on?! What are these things?!" "What are we going to do?" Asked Suzi Q as she started to panic as well. Having no choice, Joseph picked up his wife and started to shove people out of the way. It may seem crude, but she is his top priority to keep her safe before he could do anything. As he finally found a safe spot, he turned to Suzi Q and said. "Stay here and don't do anything rash! I have to find Jotaro, and together we might have a chance to stop this mess!" "Please be careful!" "Don't worry! If anything happens, I'll use my secret technique!" With that, Joseph left. Returning to the danger as he did what he can to get these people to a safe distance. "Come everyone! Move it! If you don't want to die, then run! Don't make things worse than it is already!" As the people started to get to safety, it gave Joseph the chance to get back in the field and find Jotaro! Jumping over the fence, he began looking for anymore people who were left behind, then he saw a familiar face. It was Jotaro's friend, Twilight! Her leg was entangled by one the vines from the plant monster! And somehow a small dog was helping her escape, but it was not enough. Joseph quickly ran towards the two and shouted. "Hermit Purple!" Purple thorny vines from Joseph's hand came out and grabbed onto Twilight and the dog, with all his might he pulled them away from the large vines. Now safe from harm's way, Twilight said. "Thank you Mr. Joestar, I don't know how you did it!" "Don't worry about it, right now we have to stop these things from doing anymore damage!" "I know how we can stop it, we have to my device and close it! It's the only way to stop this madness!" "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Suddenly, more veins appeared from another portal and it looked hungry! "Uh...Mr. Joestar? I don't suppose you can save us like you did earlier?" "It doesn't seem that way, I don't think my abilities can fight these things head on! Not even Hamon can stop them!" "Then what are we going to do?!" Joseph closed his eyes and replies. "We have one option left, it's a technique that'll work. It's the only way if we can get out of this! If it works, then we can find that device of yours." "What is it?" Hearing footsteps, Twilight turned around and saw Joseph running as he screamed. "RUN AWAY!!!" "Seriously?! That's your secret technique?!" "Um, Twilight?" Said Spike as he whimpered in fear. "I think that old man has a point!" Looking back, more portals appeared and another batch of plants came out and looked very hungry. *Gulp* Twilight grabbed Spike and ran away from the area. "Wait for me Mr. Joestar!" Back with Jotaro, and Sunset, both were handing the situation well so far. As the plants attacked, Star Platinum was able to punch and smack them away. Rainbow Dash flew around the field aiding the two as she tackled the other remain plants as her magic gave some protection. Seeing another plant about to attack Sunset, Jotaro, and Indigo Zap behind them, Rainbow Dash flew towards the monster to stop it. As she came close to it. "Ora!" The creature was smacked back by Star Platinum! The flying teenager gave an attitude towards Jotaro. "Hey! I had that one!" "Too slow!" "Grrrr!" "Come on you two!" Scold Sunset. "This isn't the time to show off! We're in this together if we want to get through this!" "But-" "You heard her, stop goofing around that magic of yours and get serious!" "Whatever." Focusing back on the situation, Jotaro looked back at Sunset. "At this rate, we're never gonna stop these things! Where's Twilight!" "Waaaah!" Looking to where the scream came from, both saw Twilight, holding a dog, and Joseph running away from more plant monsters! "Found them!" "Good grief, guess this is my stop." "Wait your not thinking of jumping off aren't you?!" "There's no time to stop! Look, it may not matter to you, but Cinch cares about the games more than anything else right now! So if you win this, then I'll feel a lot better seeing her upset." "What does that mean?" "Let's just say she pissed off the wrong person, now go!" Jumping off the bike, Jotaro rolled on the ground and quickly got back on his feet as he ran towards Twilight and Joseph. Still running from the large plants, Twilight and Joseph couldn't get away from these things! They need to find that device now! "Wah!" Twilight tripped onto the ground as Spike rolled away, Joseph turned and saw her fall down! "Twilight!" Seeing a shadow over her, she turned around as the plants ready to devour their lunch!" "AAHHHHH" Screamed Twilight as she closed her eyes as she didn't want to see it coming. She hoped it would be quick… "TWILIGHT!!!!" Spike yelled as he was helpless to do anything! And then… "Star Platinum! The world!" Everything moved slowly and turned grey, Joseph attempted to use purple hermit, and Spike looked in horror, while Twilight looked away as the plants attacked. And then, all around had stopped. Except one person. "Good Grief, this is the third time I had to save your ass. Seriously, this better not become a habit." Jotaro said as he casually walked into the scene. He looked at his hand. "Look like it worked, I can stop time just like Dio. But for how long? Let's find out then!" Star Platinum appears right next to him and  began the attack! "Ora! Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!" The powerful punches connected to each and every single plant within its range. While the attacks looks like it's doing nothing much at the moment, the impacts are very devastating! Feeling he's at his limit, Jotaro finished his attack and said. "Time resumes once more…" *Splat* *Crunch* The Plants screeched in pain as all at the sametime exploded into chunks and fell down dead. Seeing the results of his attack, Jotaro thought to himself. ("Five seconds, that's my limit. Good enough for now. Still, it needs improvement if it's possible. Dio was able to stop time longer as he continued to use it during our fight, so I should be able to increase my limit to its maximum potential! I'll need to work on that.") Hearing the screeches, Twilight opened her eyes and looked behind her. Jotaro was there! And the plants, their dead! How?! Where did he come from?! Seeing his grandson appear at an instant, Joseph was relieved that Jotaro made it in time to save Twilight from a cruel death. Even Spike was happy to see her safe! "Alright Jotaro! Way to go! You sure showed those things whose boss!" "Huh?!" "Hmm?" Joseph and Spike made eye contact as the old man was shocked, did that dog just talk?! "What? Do I have something on my face?" "...Ho-Holy shit! A talking dog!" "Yeah so what? I can talk, what's weird about it? I think it's cool!" "Uh...sorry, it's just...I've seen a lot of weird things in my life. I've fought Vampires, Zombies, mind controlled victims, pillar men, and more! A talking dog is a new one to me!" "Wow! Sound like you've had it rough?" "You have no idea." Back with Jotaro, Twilight was speechless as how did Jotaro appeared from nowhere! It's impossible for someone like him to move that fast! Or perhaps it was a miracle. But what about the plants? How did they explode?! He didn't have a weapon a on him! Either way, she is safe! "Thanks for the save Jotaro! I thought I was a goner for sure!" "Don't mention it, now come on! We have to find that device of yours!" "Right, and I know where it is!" After finding the device and closing it, all the portals and plants disappeared. The nightmare is over. As for the games, Canterlot was declared the winner of the race. An announcement was made to the people to meet in the gym and wait until further notice, thankfully nobody was hurt during the incident. Sunset, Jotaro, and the others met each other to discuss what happened. "Is everyone alright?" Asked Applejack. "Better than alright, we won!" Replied Rainbow Dash as she landed next to the others. Taking off her gear, Sunset countered. "Yeah we won, but somebody could've been seriously hurt! Or worse! The magic is going haywire! Where's Twilight!" "Um...I'm right here." Seeing Twilight made Sunset angry as she started marching towards her, but Jotaro got in the way before she could do anything! Getting the message instantly, she took a deep breath and said. "You've got a lot of explaining to do!" "I know" said Twilight as she looked nervous. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen, I just wanted to learn about the magical energy come from your school. I didn't know how it works or how dangerous it can be!" Feeling sympathy, Rainbow Dash walked to Twilight and replied. "That's ok, neither do we! So it's all good, at least nobody got hurt!" "Oh no! No no no! Not again!" The device on Twilight's neck acted up again as it floated and opened by itself! She tried to pull it away but it was too late! It began absorbing the magical energy from Rainbow Dash as her pony features disappears! The others went to help, but Joseph held out his arm and said. "Don't get any closer! Who know else that thing can do!" Still struggling to close it, Twilight apologized. "I'm sorry, it's just started acting on its own! I have no control over at all! I'm not sure how it's doing it!" "What do you mean you don't know how?!" Yelled Sunset as she walked to Twilight and helped her to close the device. A spark escaped from it and shot into the sky as another portal opened! Only this time, it was another sky, and it was nighttime! Everyone witnessing it were shocked as it opened to another dimension! But to where?! "My device is causing these rifts to appear, I don't know how that works either!" Now at her limit, Sunset bursted out in anger. "Is there anything you do know?! Like getting our magic back? Or how to fix the portal to Equestria?" "Equestria? What are you talking about?" "You're supposed to be so goddamn smart, but did you ever think you shouldn't be messing around with things you don't fucking understand?!" As they Successfully closed the device, the portal closed. Everything was back to normal again. Twilight looked back to Sunset. "But I want to understand! Think of the possibilities that magic can help people!" "No! Equestrian magic is too dangerous in this world if fallen into the wrong hands! I've experienced it! I became something that nearly killed my friends because of my greed! You however, put the lives of everyone here in danger because of your curiosity!" "I'm...I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to…" Twilight didn't say another word as she ran away crying while Spike ran after her. She didn't mean for any of this to happen! She didn't want anyone getting hurt because of her! "Twilight!" Shouted Jotaro seeing Twilight running away in tears. He then turned to Sunset in anger as Star Platinum appeared next to him! "You fucking bitch!" "Jotaro! Stand down! Fighting won't solve anything!" Joseph yelled as he stood in front of his grandson. "Get out of my way old man!" "ENOUGH! The damage is done already, give Twilight sometime by herself. She has a lot going on in her mind, in the meantime..." Joseph turned to Sunset and her friends. "You six owe us an explanation of what the hell is going on here!" "You wouldn't believe us sir," Said Sunset as she felt terrible verbally hurting Twilight like that. "It wouldn't make sense to you." "Try me, both me and Jotaro have been through things you kids wouldn't possibly believe or understand! So like I said, try me." Unknown to the group, a certain Principle was listening to everything that was said. Cinch smiled, this 'magic' sounded useful! If they can use it to their advantage,then Crystal Prep's victory is in their grasp… To be Continued... > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was nearing the end of the day, and the last event of the Friendship games. Today has been hectic as the day began as a normal one, and all of a sudden a bunch of large man eating plants appeared from nowhere and nearly ruined everything! Principal Celestia suggested that the games must end and declared a tie before things get even worse! Cinch denied such a request as she assumed that the use of magic was CHS's idea to give them an upper hand. Celestia frowned as her school was accused of such a thing! Magic may have been used before, but it's still unknown to them how it even works! Seeing this to the end, Cinch demanded that the games continue despite the incident on the race track, and the possibility of innocent lives were in danger. No matter the cost, Crystal Prep must win! Canterlot High, Front entrance. As the final event was about to begin, Vice principal Luna explained the rules of the game. Meanwhile, near the front entrance, Sunset finished explaining the story of how all of this began, from her first encounter to her world's Twilight and Jotaro, to the sirens incident, to right to the friendship games. Hearing all of this was very shocking to Joseph and Jotaro, both couldn't believe Sunset belongs to an alternate parallel word were everyone is a talking pony and all the creatures that are myth exists! More importantly, magic also exists as it is common in her world as while in this world it was all illusions and tricks. What's more surprising is that stands are in her world too! Except they are rare and can be seen by anyone, or rather, 'anypony'. "My god...Everything you told us sounds like a child's fairy tale! " Said Joseph. "But after witnessing what we've seen on the race track, I believe every word you said." "I'm glad you do," Sunset replied. "The students and staff here know that magic is real, but they don't know how dangerous and destructive it can be!" "Right! Jotaro and I had our share of dangers before, so this is nothing new. Er, sort of. But rest assured you have help in this mess, we'll do what we can." Sunset sighed in relief, she needs all the help she can get. Especially if they are a stand user! "Thank you Mr. Joestar, I really appreciate it!" "No problem miss Shimmer! Now then, if you'll excuse me I have something to take care of." As Joseph left, Jotaro looked to Sunset who looked sad. "You alright?" "No. I feel terrible for what I said to Twilight." "Especially when she obviously didn't mean to do all the things she did, she's actually really nice." Said Fluttershy as Sunset buried her face in her hands feeling even more terrible. Everybody looked at the pink haired girl as she backed away not knowing she made it worse. Applejack walked to Sunset and said. "Let's just get through this last event and prove we're not a bunch of cheaters, then you can go over and apologize." "Right, thanks Applejack!" Jotaro Smiled. "You sure have some good friends by your side, it's a shame I went to Crystal Prep instead of CHS." "Ya know you could transfer here if you want, you'd fit in well with us." "I'd like that, maybe when this is all over I'll think about it. Until then, good luck in the games" "You too." Carefully sneaking back to his classmates, Jotaro was thinking really hard after being told of another world similar to his. "Good grief, this is all too much to take in. I mean another world within ours? And magic is real? Not mention a pony version of me?! Ugh, and here I thought stands are weird enough as it is. Still, I wonder what it's like. Meeting another me. Makes me think of how many other pony counter parts are there of us? Endless I bet. I wonder…" Now close to his classmates, Jotaro Sighed. As he walked towards them, a shockwave pushed him and everyone else away! "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" He screamed as Jotaro looked to where it came from. Everyone looked in shock and fear as the source of the shockwave came from one person. It was Twilight! And she's floating in the air! In front of her was a ball of light as it rapidly grew in size as it absorbed her in! The poor girl looked behind her, reached out and screamed! "HELP ME!" "TWILIGHT!!!" Jotaro ran towards her as he shoved everyone else out the way! He summoned Star Platinum and used his stand to throw him into Twilight to save her! But it was too late, the sphere completely absorbed Twilight and it sends out a bright light out with another shockwave pushing Jotaro away and slamming him back on the ground! As the light died a figure appeared, it was Twilight, and she has Transformed! She wore a purple dress with a tail like cloth behind her and long gloves and stockings. A necklace with the shape a Spark, her hair floated upwards like a flame, with a sharp glowing horn on her forehead, and a glowing aura around her eyes. Complete with large wings on her back giving Twilight the ability to fly! She laughed as the power of magic flowed in her body, with so much power, she could do anything! Turning to Sunset, she said. "You were right! I didn't understand magic before, BUT I DO NOW!!!" Twilights horned glowed brightly she aimed her hand and fired a huge blast at the Canterlot statue, destroying the horse section as it opened a portal to the other world! The ground beneath started to crack apart as Twilight fires another blast and opened another portal to Equestria! Cracks appeared everywhere as she continued to fire at them! More portals were opened as it risks the lives of the people trying to escape the Chaos! Getting back up, Jotaro looked at the transformed Twilight opening portals everywhere in her sight as she's putting other people in danger! The only solution on how she's like right now is that device! But why on earth would she open it?! There's no way she would do that knowing the dangers of using magic here in this world! "Hey! Where are you going?" "Anywhere to avoid that...MONSTER! And I suggest you do the same!" "Cinch...CIIIINCH!" Hearing her name, Cinch saw Jotaro running up to her at full speed and pushed her against a nearby wall! She could see the anger in his eyes as he was ready to pummel her into next week! "YOU BITCH! YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS DIDN'T YOU? YOU FORCED TWILIGHT OPEN THAT GODDAMN THING AND NOW LOOK AT HER! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU EXPEL ME RIGHT NOW AS I BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF YOU RIGHT NOW!" "You...do realize you have a choice...Mr. Kujo!" Said Cinch as she struggled to speak. "I would think about it...really hard if I were you! Run away and save yourself! Or beat me to death while that girl destroying everything in her path!" "I'll take the third route, save Twilight first, then beat the living shit out of you!" Letting go of Cinch as she dropped on the ground, Jotaro ran off towards Twilight. Giving the old woman a chance to hide somewhere until it's safe. After creating a large crater like portal in the ground, Twilight looked pleased at her work. Just a few more, then learn all the knowledge she can get from this 'Equestria' world! Think of the endless work she can research! "Twilight!" "Jotaro…" Twilight said lustfully as she saw him below her with such bravery! "how admirable of you to come straight at me without any fear! It seems you are no stranger to danger!" "This kind of thing is a little new to me, but I've been through worse situations than this! And I can't stop you without getting closer!" "Oh? Then come close as you like! Matter of fact, I'll do it for you!" Sticking her hand out, Jotaro levitated in the air and is pulled towards Twilight. He stopped in front of her as she looked at him with an insane look. "Jotaro…I want to thank you getting me this far. Without you I would still be that weak pathetic girl I was! Now I'm more powerful than I could ever imagine! For helping me, I want you to be a part of this. You and me, together no-one can stop us with this much magic in our possession! We'll be unstoppable!" "Twilight…" Said Jotaro as he stared at Twilight looking at her with a neutral expression. All that magical power is driving her crazy! Damn Cinch for tempting her for using that thing! There's got to be a way to stop her! "Well?" "I'm sorry...I can't. This isn't you Twilight! Stop this before things get out of hand! That magic is messing with your head! Sunset said it's too dangerous to use it in this world! It's not too late to end this now!" Twilight looked hurt as she hoped her friend could see her way and help! But it seems it wasn't going to happen. "I'm sorry too, I'll make it quick and painless. If you have any last words, say it." "I do actually...Star finger!" *Poke* "ARRRRRGH!!!" A sharp pain hit Twilight's eyes as her magical grip released Jotaro as he landed safely, with Star Platinum by his side as it retracted its two fingers. "Be glad that was just a poke! If I added more force, then you'll be blind permanently!" "D-DAMN YOU!!!"  "Last warning Twilight! Stop this before I get serious!" As the pain went away and her sight returning, Twilight looked back at Jotaro with full of hatred! Then something caught her attention, what is that next to him? Is that...a person? "Who is that next to you? What is that? Did you have magic the entire time?!" "So, you can see Star Platinum. I get it now, with the power of magic it can allow you to see my stand. That's how those girls can see it!" "That's right!" Sunset said as she walked next to Jotaro. "Ever since my friends were exposed to magic in this world, they were able to see you and your counterparts stand! I can see it naturally since I was born in a world full of magic!" "Good grief," Replied Jotaro as he tipped his hat. "And here I thought it was just stand users were able to see other stands. Guess not if you have magic." "That's right, but still, I don't know how magic works in this world, but if stands exist here then we got another problem on your hands!" "This stand business is still a bit new to me, I've had Star Platinum for a couple of months now, so one problem at a time. Right now let's focus on stopping Twilight before it gets worse!" "Right! So how about we beat her with our own magic?" "How so?" Sunset pulled out Twilight device, Jotaro got the idea, he didn't like it, but what choice do they have? She looked at Twilight and said. "I know you feel powerful Twilight! I told you I've experienced it before, and now you are doing the same as I have! I put on a magical crown, and just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained! Like I thought I could get everything I wanted!" "Oh you're wrong. Unlike you, I can have everything I want! This magic is something I never experienced before. With it, I will become the most powerful and smartest in the world! No one can stop me!" "You're wrong," Said Jotaro. "Even with all that power you possess, we will find a way to beat you. Like I said before, this isn't you, the Twilight I know is smart ,yet, a clumsy person. That's the girl who became friends with me today, not some power obsessed bitch who was about to kill me just now!" "And with all that magic, you'll be alone! You see, true magic comes from Honesty, loyalty,  laughter, generosity, and kindness! Sunset raised the device in the air as it started absorbing the magic from her friends, except it didn't harm them this time. As the magic went into the device, she floated into the air. Sunset looked at Twilight and said. "I understand you Twilight. And I want to show you the most important magic of all!" Sunset closed the Device as it was full of magic and threw it underneath her. Just like Twilight, all ball of light appeared and absorbed her completely. From it came out Sunset wearing a white and pink dress with orange boots and white gloves. Her hair floated upward like a flame and wings and horn glowing from magic. As her transformation now completed, Sunset faced Twilight finished her speech.  "The magic of friendship!" Jotaro and the others looked in awe as Sunset new form looked liked it could match against Twilight. She began to close the portals with her magic as Twilight herself began to be upset as her work was being ruined! "What the hell..." Said Jotaro witnessing what's happening around him. "And here I thought things couldn't get any weirder. Hey, Sunset! Need a hand?" "I would very much appreciate that actually, who knows how strong Twilight is?" "Then let's find out!" Beginning her offense, Twilight fired a magic blast while Sunset did the same. Jotaro saw this as a chance to attack, using Star Platinum, it rushed in and threw a punch. Seeing the attack coming towards her, Twilight quickly brought up her hand and summoned a shield. As the punch connected, she was sent flying backwards and crashed into the ground! ("Such power! If it had hit me, this fight would be over already!") Standing back up, Twilight used her magic around her as the bricks from the building glowed and shot towards Jotaro. "Ora Ora Ora!" Screamed Star Platinum as it punched the objects at high speed and precision. Twilight doesn't have a chance! But… ("I can't use Star Platinum on Twilight too much, can't risk hurting her. Or letting her hurt me. But what can I do?") Stopping her attack, Twilight flew towards Jotaro to tackle him down. As she came close, Twilight froze! Sunset used her magic to hold her in place and threw Twilight to a nearby wall. She followed and slammed her further into the wall and held her down. "Enough Twilight! This has gone too far!" "Not far enough, I've only just started!" Twilight tilted her head back and head-butted Sunset, causing her to let go. The corrupted teenager grabbed her opponent's head, slammed it down on the ground and dragged her across the area! Sunset tried to escape but couldn't as the pain on her face from being dragged against the ground was unbearable! Twilight then tossed her against the school building, causing the wall to leave a large crater! "Sunset!" Yelled Jotaro as he saw his ally attacked with such brutality! Twilight turned with a sinister smile as she pointed and said. "You're next...Jotaro!" "Bring it!" She flew to Jotaro once more without any interruption this time! Getting close, Star Platinum appeared and threw a punch at her, but she dodged the attack as she ducked underneath! Jotaro was surprised seeing Twilight escaping his punch and gave him an insane happy look. "My turn!" "Oh shi-" Pouring her magic into her arms, Twilight began her assault in Jotaro with her own punches! "Die Die Die Die Die!" Feeling the barrage of punches, Jotaro was barely able to withstand the pain, but the attacks felt like he was being hit by 'The World' all over again! While her punches may lack power, it's the speed and rapid attacks makes up for it with the help of magic! With one final punch, Jotaro was sent flying away and crashed onto the ground as he felt sore all over!  ("D-Damn it! She's too strong! That magic stuff is no joke!") Hearing the sound of heels clicking, Twilight walked slowly as she began to take her time to beat him down. "Jotaro...I'm not done yet. Don't tell me you've had enough already?" ("Shit! Shit! Shit! I gotta get back up!") Before he could move, a purple aura held him in place! Jotaro couldn't move, he's trapped! Now close, Twilight sat on top of him as if she was ready to have his way with him! "Comfortable?" "*Tch* Where's a damn rape whistle when you need one." "Don't worry," Twilight replied as she placed a finger on his chest and twirled it. "It'll be over before you know it...just close your eyes. She then took off and flew away. Leaving Jotaro confused on what is She trying to do. What's her plan? What the hell is she gonna do?! Back with Sunset, she regained consciousness as the first thing she saw was her friends. "Girls?" "Sunset!" They scouted and hugged her now that sees awake. "Argh! Easy! Easy! I'm still in pain here!" "Sorry Sugarcube, just happy to see you alive, that's all!" "Seriously darling, you have us quite a scare! We thought you were a goner!" "That's right! We don't have any magical beans that'll heal you instantly!" "You ok? That was a serious attack you just took! She dragged you against the ground!" "D-Do you need any medical assistance?" Smiling for seeing how her friends cared, Sunset replied. "Thanks girls, I'm ok, just give me a moment." Closing her eyes, a gold aura covered her body as it her wounds started to heal. The girls looked amazed as all the cuts and bruises were slowly disappearing! Now healed up Sunset opened her eyes and said. "Ahh...much better. Now, what did I miss?" "Nothing much," replied Applejack. "Twilight just took off, Jotaro is on the ground not moving but he's alive! Whatever that girl did froze him down! Must've casted a spell or something." "Got it! I'll take it from here, you girls get to safety!" Sunset flew off and headed towards Jotaro,within moments she found the teenager still struggling to escape. "The hell you've been?" "Was knocked out, what do you think?" "Well naptime is over, get me out of this!" "Right, just hold on!" Before Sunset could do anything, a voice echoed. "Ah Sunset, glad you could make it." "Twilight! Where are you? Show yourself!" "Don't worry, I'm just coming back from picking up a special surprise! After all, what better way to kill two birds with one stone. Or rather…" Seeing a large shadow over them, both looked up and screamed. "GOD DAMMIT NOT AGAIN!!!" "HOLY SHIT!!!" "ROAD ROLLER DA!!!" Slamming the large machine on top of them, Star Platinum was able to stop it before it crushed the two. "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!" Jotaro screamed as he used all of his strength to break apart the large wheel! He couldn't believe this was happening again! Never will he be near these kind of machines again! Sunset pushed the road roller away with her magic, it might not be much but it's better than nothing! How did Jotaro live through this?! "TOO LATE! IT'S ALL OVER!!!" Twilight powered her arms with magic and began punching the road roller! "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!" "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!" "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!! NOW FOR THE FINISHING BLOW! WRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! BE GONE!!!" Twilight poured all the magic into one arm and punched down with all her might, and the machine smashed down all the way to the ground! Crushing Jotaro and Sunset underneath. "I did it...I have won!" Said Twilight standing victorious while the crowd below looked in horror. "No way…" "Oh god...She...She…" "This can't be happening! There's no way!" Loving the fear on their faces, Twilight began to laugh as no one can stop her now! "Hehehe...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Pathetic weaklings! You have the right to fear me! For nobody can save you now! I am the most powerful person in the world! I, Midnight Sparkle, will rule you all! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" "Midnight Sparkle? Really? What a shitty name." "Wha-" *Wack* *Snap* "ARGH!!!" Falling off the road roller, Twilight was breathing heavily as the pain in her legs was unbearable! She looked at them and saw them bent inwards and bleeding badly! "AAAAAAH!!!! MY LEGS! MY LEGS! WHAT HAPPENED?!" "I happened!" Twilight looked up and saw Jotaro and Sunset on the road roller! Alive and unharmed! "What?! You two are still alive? How?! I killed you both! I was sure of it!" "Let's just say I managed to get us out 'just in time' before we were crushed." Sunset giggled as she gave Jotaro a playful nudge. "'Just I time', I get it! Cuz you stopped time! Eh? Eh?" "Wasn't supposed to be funny." "Ah come on! That was funny!" "Shut up." "Just in time?" Asked Twilight. "You mean, you stopped time itself?! How's that even possible?!" "Like I need to explain. Plus the road roller move? Not my first rodeo. And it better be the last damn it!" "When I get my hands on you…" "Sunset, help Twilight will ya? I got you covered." "Got it!" Seeing Sunset walking towards her, Twilight panicked as she began to fire magic blasts. "S-Stay away!" *Zap* Sunset smacked the blast away as she continued to walk. Twilight fired again and again to keep her away, but the girl advanced without hesitation as she kept deflecting the attacks. Now close, the poor girl closed her eyes as she didn't want to see what was going to happen! "It's ok Twilight, I'm not going to hurt you." "What?" She opened her eyes as Sunset was kneeling down and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I said I'm not going to hurt you, I want to help. Concentrate your magic on healing your legs, 'don't want to lay on the ground all day do you?" Not having any choice, Twilight closed her eyes as she focused her magic to her legs. Imagining her wounds closing and her bones being snapping back in place, her injuries were being healed! Moments later, the pain was gone! Slowly standing up, Twilight was able to walk again! She looked to Sunset and said. "Why? Why are you helping me? After what I've done? Why are you being nice to me?" "Because it's the right thing to do." Replies Sunset. "Someone did the same for me when I was in your position, and I want to show you there's another way of using magic properly." She held her hand out to Twilight. "Take my hand, and everything will be ok. I promise." Hesitant to take the hand, Twilight slowly grabbed it. A small flame like magic wrapped around her arm up to her head, it felt warm and peaceful. A bright light appeared around them and in seconds, both girls were back to normal. Jotaro smiled as things were back to normal, what a day this has been... Now with her head clear, Twilight apologized as tears formed around her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." "I know. But from my experience, everyone will forgive you. Give it time, it worked for me." "I forgive her already." Said Jotaro walking to the girls with a small smile. "It's not much, but it's a start." "Thanks Jotaro, I'm glad you're still my friend." Replied Twilight feeling slightly better. "I just hope things don't change between us after I tried to kill you." "Don't worry about it, like I said earlier it wasn't you. I'm just glad you're back. Also, sorry for breaking your legs too, self-defense you know." "Non taken, I'm just happy that the magic healed completely!" "Right…" *Bark Bark* Twilight was tackled down by Spike as he was happy to have his owner back to normal! The girl laughed happily as she gave the small dog a big hug. It was a sight that made you smile! Jotaro wanted to smile, but he knew better as it was not over yet. "As much as I want to say the worst is behind us, there's one last thing to take care of." "And what's that?" Asked Sunset wondering what did I mean' one last thing to take care of'? A familiar voice was heard that made Jotaro clench his fists. "Principal Celestia! On behalf of Crystal Prep,  I demand you forfeit the friendship games!" "THAT is what needs to be taken care of, and it's time for that bitch to get what she deserves!" To be Continued... > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fighting, the loud noises, the earth shaking moments, it stopped! Does that mean is it over? Cinch peeked out of her hiding spot and looked around, it was a mess! The walls of the building were missing some bricks, the ground was torn up, and there's a road roller in the middle of the area! What in the world happened here?! Spotting Celestia, Cinch quickly rushed to her and said. "Principal Celestia! On behalf of Crystal Prep, I demand you forfeit the friendship games! Clearly CHS has had an unfair advantage for quite some time, and it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefits!" Celestia rolled her eyes as this woman has been annoying ever since she set foot her in her school! Thankfully after working here for so long her patience hasn't been messed with. She replied Cinch. "I'd like to think that saving the world benefits us all! After all, if Jotaro and Sunset hadn't stepped in with the use of magic, Midnight Sparkle would've taken over by now. Thanks to their bravery and teamwork, it shows that both students of different schools can work together despite their differences. That is what the friendship games I suppose to represent, not for glory or reputation!" "She's right you know." Added Sugarcoat. "I mean at least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic like we did. Look what happened, she turned into a power crazed magical girl that attempted to take over the world all because YOU who wanted to win a game." Everyone looked at the girl as she explained on how all of this happened, and every word she said was true. Cadence looked in shock to hear that her friend was turned into a monster because of Cinch! Just to win a game?! "Principal Cinch! You forced Twilight to become that?! How...How could you! What were you thinking!" "T-That's ridiculous! How could I do such a thing?!" "Nope. That's pretty much what happened." Everyone froze to hear Twilight's dog speak! Did that really just happen?! "Did you just talk?" Asked Jotaro as he too looked in surprise! "Yeah I did, cool huh?" "...Yes it is." He replied as he patted the dog's head. He would ask more on how but after all the shit he's been through he'd rather not ask any further. "See!" Shouted Cinch as she denied the what was being said. "Now my students have been infected with your magic! I'll explain this to the school board and tell them what has happened here! I'd clean out your desk Principal Celestia, you won't be here for much longer!" "STOP IT!!!" Cinch turned to see Twilight stepping up and shouting at her! "Just stop it! You've been denying everything that's been said was true! You forced me to become that...that...THING!" "Careful what you say next miss Sparkle, one more word for you and your application will-" "To heck with my application! I don't care about it anymore! I'll throw away my dream of joining Everton by telling everyone here what you did!" "Miss SparkleI I warn you-" "Everyone! I didn't join the games because I wanted to or anything, I was blackmailed that if I didn't participate, my application would be rejected! All because of her stupid reputation!" Everyone looked in shock as they looked towards Cinch, how could she force a student to participate in something she didn't want to be a part of by blackmailing! "She's not the only one who was blackmailed, she did the same thing to me as well. However, mine is much more worse." Said Jotaro as he stood next to Twilight. "I didn't want to participate in the games too, but Cinch insisted that if I don't join, she'll kill my mother." THAT got their attention even more! First blackmail, now murder?! Both Celestia and Luna looked at Cinch in disgust, while Cadence looked in horror of how her principal has become! Both Crystal Prep and CHS students looked at her in anger as her actions has taken too far! Cinch defended herself once more! She just doesn't know when to give in! "LIES! ALL LIES! HOW DARE ALL OF YOU ACCUSE ME OFF SUCH THINGS!!! IN ALL OF MY YEARS OF RUNNING CRYSTAL PREP, NEVER HAVE I FORCED MY STUDENTS TO DO THINGS THEY DON'T WANT TO! WHERE'S YOUR PROOF?! SHOW ME!!!" "Here's your proof!" A body was thrown into the air and landed next to Cinch. They all turned to see where it came from to see none other than… "Mr. Joestar!" "In the flesh!" He replied. "Sorry I'm late everyone, I had some business that needed my attention. And I bet you are wondering who is that man I just threw? Well I'll be happy to tell you that this is the hitman who was hired to kill my poor sweet Holly!" "What?!" Everyone screamed as Cinch was really planning to murder Jotaro's mother! Cinch was starting to lose her cool, how in the hell did that bastard find her assassin?! There was no way he could find him that easily! "Wait…" Said Pinkie Pie. "If that guy is a hitman, how did you find him? Aren't guys like him suppose to be stealthy and not be seen!" "I'm glad you asked my dear, you can thank my wife's pet turtle for that!" "Huh?" "Let me explain. You see when I visited my daughter this morning, My wife brought her turtle give Holly some company. Weird, if you ask me. Anyway, it loves to move around and we always lose him. So when I drove back to back to visit her again, I heard a scream in the distance! I went to check it out and wouldn't you know it! That turtle was biting the hitman's ass! HaHaHa! Oh you should've seen it!" The large group began to laugh as Joseph's story was told. They almost felt bad for the hitman who was compromised by a pet turtle by biting him on the rear! Cinch looked at her hitman in anger as how he was pathetically failed his mission! It made her look like a fool for hiring him! "I'm sorry ma'am, it sneaked up from behind me! I didn't hear a thing!" "You are such an idiot! I thought you were a professional!" "But…" "Cinch!" Hearing her name, she looked up and saw Jotaro walking towards her! "Your plans have gone to shit. Your secrets are exposed. Give up! Don't make it worse than it is already." Cinch began to panic. Her reputation is now ruined! Exposed to these children and adults! Damn it...DAMN IT!!!! She then looked down and saw a pistol pocketed on the hitman! She may not like, but if she could get revenge, then it'll be worth it. It wouldn't matter if she was arrested and thrown in prison, as long as someone dies! Cinch quickly grabbed the gun and pointed at Jotaro! "Stay back! I mean it! Don't make me use this!" Jotaro and the others froze at what she did! Now Cinch has gone far enough! One wrong move then it's over! "Now...Now hear this, I'm going to leave here and none of you will follow me! Or else I'll shoot!" "...No deal, your still not getting away from this." Replied Jotaro as he continued to walk. Cinch was surprised to see him still coming towards her! Didn't he care about his life?! "S-Stay back! I mean it! I-I'll do it!" "You don't have the balls to use that thing, not that you had any to begin with." "Don't take another step!" Jotaro ignored her as he took one more step and- *Bang* "JOTARO!!!" "AAAAARGH!!!" Cinch kneeled down in pain holding her hand as the gun exploded! The metal prices was now impaled into her hand as it began to bleed horribly! The skin was now shred and ripped open and lost parts of her fingers. "W-W-What the H-Hell just happened?! How did it-" *Moments ago* As Cinch pulled the trigger, Jotaro shouted. "Star Platinum! Unleash The world!" Time has Stopped, the bullet slowed down as it flew out of the barrel and halted before it hit Jotaro. He knew his stand could catch it, but where's the fun in that when he can do something like this. Star Platinum grabbed the bullet and flicked it back to the gun as it froze again before it impacted. Jotaro looked at Cinch with no regrets at what he just did. After all, it's not over yet, it just barely begun. "Alright, Time flows again…" *Present* Witnessing what happened, Sunset and her friends, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, along with the Crystal Prep students, looked in disgust as Cinch's hand was messed up! Half of them looked away, while the rest couldn't couldn't stomach it and threw up on the spot! There was no way that hand was going to be back to normal! Joseph even felt that one as he grabbed his left prosthetic hand, god he missed that hand. As Cinch was in pain, Jotaro interrupted her. "I told you yesterday Cinch, I'll finish you in a blink of an eye. And guess what? You didn't even see it coming!" The woman gasped in shock as Jotaro was right! She thought that he was acting all tough, but no he stayed true to his word! Oh god this boy is gonna killer for sure! "M-Mr. Kujo please! I'm so-sorry! Don't kill me! I'll...I'll do anything! I can get Miss Sparkle's Everton's application approved! I'll quit being Crystal prep's principal! The hit on your mother will be gone! I'll leave town and you won't have to see my face again! JUST PLEASE DON'T KILL MEEEEE!!!!!" Hearing her screams for forgiveness, Jotaro wasn't gonna give this lady a single ounce of pity. After all of the threats, and lies she's done, and who knows how long she's been doing this, Cinch will pay for this! And he knows how. But first… "Sorry Cinch, but you might've missed this, Twilight said she didn't care about her application anymore, so that's out of the way! As for your position as a principal, you're out of the job after we spilled the truth of you blackmailing us, and proving that you've sent a hitman to kill my mother! As for skipping town, you won't get away from this! You'll face justice for the crimes you committed against us!" Cinch started to cry as she knew where this was heading! "Hey old man!" "Hmm? What is it Jotaro?" "You better call an ambulance right now! Cause things are about to get messy!" Joseph sighed as he knew what he was going to do, it may be wrong, but what Cinch was about to do to his daughter, he'll let it slide. "Consider it done. Just make sure you don't kill her." "Fine by me!" Sunset grabbed Joseph's arm and said. "Mr. Joestar are you crazy?! Jotaro will kill her! This isn't the way we do things here!" "I understand Miss Shimmer, but, I nearly lost my daughter once by a man who was invited to be part of my family years before I was born and planned to bring them to ruin. Now with her life being threatened once more, I won't let it happen again." He then placed a hand on her shoulder and gave Sunset a smile. "And don't worry about Jotaro, he'll hold back on his punches. He knows what he's doing!" Sunset looked away in shame as she couldn't do anything about the situation. "I hope your right Mr. Joestar…" Back with Jotaro, the teenager looked at Cinch, still crying for forgiveness. Now it's the time to do what he wanted to do from the very beginning, beat the shit out of this bitch! "Please Mr. Kujo…" "You know, you remind me of someone who treat me like shit when he threatened to kill the old man, and now you did the same thing as he did. Meaning…" Jotaro slid his finger across his hat and shouted! "I'M GONNA ENJOY THIS EVEN MORE!" Star Platinum appeared and wasted no time  as it began throwing punches! "Ora!" Feeling a punch from nowhere, Cinch felt her head turn as her jaw began to break and lost a couple of teeth! But that was just the beginning as she immediately felt another punch. And another, another, another! "Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!!! Cinch felt every part of her body being punched over and over and over again! It was non stop! And she couldn't see the attacks coming! What is this?! Everyone witnessing what's in front of them were surprised to see Cinch being punched without mercy! Those who can see Star Platinum, were Sunset and her friends and Joseph! "Yikes! Remind me not get on Jotaro's bad side!" Said Rainbow Dash. "You said it," Replied Applejack. "Remember that time when Flash became rude to the other Twilight during the Sirens incident?" "Darling we all know what happened to him, to be honest, he had it coming." Added Rarity as she crossed her arms. She never did like that guy. "I still don't know who to feel bad for. Flash? Or the person who had to clean the mess on the locker?" Said Fluttershy as she still remembers the moment other Jotaro's eyes was covered in shadows by his hat. Once you see that happen, your dead. Alive if your lucky... "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that! Isn't flash still in a coma for weeks now? When is he ever gonna wake up?" Asked Pinkie Pie as she said the one million dollar question. "Who cares?" Said Everyone. Unknown to them, there was one more person who could see what's attacking Cinch. "What is that?!" "Huh? You can see Jotaro's stand?" Asked Joseph as he was surprised that Twilight can see Star Platinum! But how? She's not a stand user! "Is that what it's called? How come I've never seen it before? I mean I saw a glimpse of it when we fought, but I thought I was seeing things!" "I think I have an idea!" Answered Sunset. "My theory is when you absorb all that magic from your device, you were able to see his stand when you were transformed. Looks It had some side effects." "What?!" "Don't Worry it's harmless! I've seen it before, My friends weren't able to see stands like you until now. I'll explain later." As for those who couldn't see Star Platinum, they looked at Cinch being beaten to a pulp as if a ghost was causing this! "What the hell is happening?!" "How's Jojo doing that? Is he using magic or something?" "Who cares? look at Cinch! She's not even out yet!" "Damn! That's one tough old lady!" Celestia and Luna were seeing this too. They could stop Jotaro, but after hearing what Cinch has done, she deserves it. It may be wrong, but what she was about to do crossed the line! All for winning a School game! Cadence looked at the scene without looking away, she looked at Cinch in shame, how could she do such a thing? To Twilight of all people! What changed?! Luna placed a hand on her Shoulder and said. "Are you alright?" "No. No I'm not. What kind of person am I that didn't see how horrible Cinch has become! Why did she do this? I was suppose to protect Twilight anything terrible! It was a miracle she survived, but...It was my duty to protect her! And I failed her!" "No Cadence, don't think like that! " Replied Luna seeing her niece in tears. "It's not your fault! I'm certain Cinch has kept you busy so she wouldn't want you to see what she had in-store for the games that involved Twilight. If anyone is to blame, its that witch! And now she's paying the price!" Back with Jotaro, he continued to give Cinch a piece of his mind! Punch after punch, she's still alive! As much as he wants to keep going, She needs to be alive so she can receive true judgement. Perhaps one more punch couldn't hurt wouldn't? Star Platinum clinched its fist tight as it could, and threw its final punch! "ORA!!!!" As the fist connected, Cinch went flying into the air and fell down on the ground with a heavy thud. She didn't move much as her body was twitching in pain. Her body was all bruised and bloodied, as well as most of her bones were broken. The woman is alive, barley. Jotaro turned around and tipped his hat. He took a glance at Cinch and said. "Game over Cinch, you lost!" Cinch, Principal of Crystal Prep Hospitalized for multiple injuries Status...Retired! Later that evening, The ambulance and the police arrived at the school. Cinch was taken to the hospital. When the paramedics arrived, they were shocked to see her condition! It looked liked a bunch of bulls ran her over non-stop! It was a miracle she was alive! As for the police officers, they asked what happened and why is there a road roller in the middle of the area. Joseph explained everything. Well almost everything. He told them that Cinch nothing but a crazy old lady who wanted to win a school event so bad, she threaten the lives of the students by bringing in the road roller to 'crush' the competition. Not only that, he also mention of Jotaro and Twilight being blackmailed by Cinch and attempted murder of his daughter as well. He gave them a flash drive that contained the evidence that'll prove Cinch guilty. Surprised by all of this, Cadence askes Joseph how did he obtain all of that information? He smiled and said. "I have my ways ma'am, I have 'abilities' that only a few people have. For example, the flyers I made to bring the parents to the friendship games without being detected is one of them." Cadence was confused of what he said. Abilities? What kind of abilities? Just like Jotaro's perhaps? Whatever it was, she was thankful for helping their situation. Speaking of Jotaro, he was elsewhere nearby minding his own business smoking a cigarette. After all what he's been through, he needed one. Sure most adults don't like seeing someone  who is underage doing such a thing, but Jotaro didn't care. "Ya know if anyone spots you with that, you'll get in trouble." Jotaro turned to see Sunset walking towards him with a small frown on her face. "Like I give a damn. If they come and tell me how bad these things are, they'll get the same treatment as I did to Cinch." "Just giving you a warning that's all. Anyway, thanks for the help back there, I don't think I would've taken Twilight on my own if it weren't for you." "Sure thing. I admit, I didn't want to do that to Twilight. But with the world in danger from all  the magic she absorbed, I had no choice." "I know. But it all worked out in the end, didn't it? Twilight is safe, Cinch is going to jail, that's if she wakes up, and the whole game ended up with both schools as winners!" "A cheesy ending if you ask me. It would be better if no one won, but that's my opinion." "Don't like happy endings?" "Of course I do, but not every story can have a happy ending ya know." "Doesn't mean we can try. Back in Equestria, ponies always use the magic of friendship to solve most of their problems. No matter how bad the situation gets, friendship will be there to guide us. Just as I did to save Twilight." "Friendship huh?" Jotaro looked around to see CHS students and Crystal Prep students hanging out with each other and getting along. All that rivalry they had just disappeared! Almost as if it never happened. Is this the magic of friendship Sunset mentioned? "I don't understand it. I mean of course I get the meaning, but what does it do exactly? is this some sort of spell or something? How does it work?" "From what I can remember during my studies from my world's Celestia, it just sort of happens! I guess when a bond is formed when two or more people confess, agree, or whatever it may be, friendship brings them closer." Jotaro closed his eyes as he was in deep thought. ("Forming a bond huh? Guess that explains it when I begged Twilight to stop harming others. Unusually I beat the crap out of people without hesitation, but this time I did. But Why? My guess is when Twilight and I became friends, sort of, I looked out for her. I guess this is what Sunset means.") "The magic of friendship. That's why I didn't want to fight Twilight when we fought. It's because we're friends." "That's right!" Replied Sunset. "The magic of friendship brings anyone closer to those who can accept it. If not. Then we have to find a solution to fix the problem." "Right. Ya know, I have a feeling this School is interesting. Too bad I'll miss it. Unless I can convince Dean Cadance to transfer me here?" "You...want to transfer here?" Sunset said in surprise. "Why? Not judging you or anything! It's just…" "Being in Crystal Prep good and all," answered Jotaro. "But it's not for me. Too strict and the students bother me. Here, I think I'll fit in just fine." Sunset smiled. If Jotaro joins, then magical incidents like this should be easier! Plus, it'll be interesting to see what this world's Jotaro is like. With Twilight, she sat on the stairs in front of the entrance of CHS with Spike On her lap, reflecting on what happened today. It has been crazy! From large carnivore eating plants, transforming into a crazed magical girl, to Cinch's beat down! What a day! Wonder what happens next? "I guess that was one way to finish up your time at Crystal Prep. Pretty sure with Cinch out of the picture your application is rejected after all of what's happened." Said Cadence as she sat next to Twilight. "Sounds about right. Also, I think I'm not sure if I want to go to Everton yet." "Really? Are you sure?" "I may know a lot of things, but friendship isn't one of them. And I'm definitely not going to learn about it by being alone." "So you're staying at Crystal Prep?" "No, I don't think so. After all I've been through, I think it's best to not go back." Said Twilight as she confessed that the School is for her any more. It may be a good place but it's not for everyone. "I agree with you as much as I hate to admit it, you deserve better than the way you were treated. Speaking of better, how are you holding up? I can't imagine of all that magic business you been through. And your injuries? I saw what happened to you." "Don't have any if that's what your worried, Sunset helped me heal them good as new. It was painful at first, but I'm ok." "That's good to hear." Replied Cadence as she felt relieved her friend is ok. "Since you won't be back at Crystal Prep, I guess you could…" "Transfer to this School? I'll be happy to!" Said Twilight. "Seeing that the students here know about friendship, I want to learn more about it! And perhaps gain some friends here as well! "Glad to hear it! You'll be missed, but I'm sure you'll do great. I'll speak to Principal Celestia right away!" "Don't forget about me." Both Twilight and Cadence looked up and saw Jotaro walking up to them. "You want to transfer here at CHS too Mr. Kujo?" Asked Cadence wondering why does he want to transfer here? "Of course. I was gonna ask you if it's possible after all of this mess. If it's not too much trouble." "Not at all! Two friends, going to the same School will be a great thing! I'm happy that a good friend of Twilight will be joining her! Just make sure this relationship is a friendly one, I don't want Shining Armor thinking that Twilight has found someone to share her life with already!" Both Jotaro and Twilight blushed hearing Cadence words about the two being something more than just being friends. "C-Cadence! He and I Just friends! I swear! We barely met and hardly know each other!" "G-Good grief...Not you too, as if my grandparents thinking me if Twilight and I are together was embarrassing enough as it is already!" Cadence laughed as both teens were blushing and looking away. She loved doing things like that. Even wondered how these two would be like in a relationship together. Only time will tell. At the end of the day, Jotaro and Twilight, were enrolled into Canterlot High! What more magical bizarre adventures will their new friends run into next? Find out next time! To be continued... > Chapter 7 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a week since the friendship games, things have been back to normal without any incidents and much has happened. Cinch has been found guilty and won't be getting out for quite some time. That's if she lives that long. Cadence has been promoted to principal as she is now in charge of Crystal Prep and it's students. Many changes have been planned to make things better there, it'll take some time to get used to it though, but it's for the best. Jotaro and Twilight were now attending Canterlot High and quickly got used to their new surroundings. The students there were happy to meet their worlds Jotaro and Twilight, not much is different between their counterparts, except they aren't together. Like, together, together. But at least their friends! As for Sunset and her friends, they got along with the two easily. After all, no one knows them better than the group of friends! Kujo residents, Jotaro's room. *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* "*Groan* A fat orange cat once said, I hate Mondays. Yeah, I hate them too." Turning off his alarm, Jotaro sat up on his bed and stretched. He looked at his alarm clock and saw he still had time to get ready. So In order to start off his day, why not a little music? He grabbed his phone and looked for a song to listen to. It didn't take long to find one as he said. "Hmm...this will do." *Play Three little birds, by Bob Marely.* Heading to the bathroom, Jotaro looked in the mirror and saw how he looked. His hair was a mess! He shrugged his shoulders as he picked up his toothbrush and toothpaste to brush his teeth. Star Platinum appeared behind his user grabbed a couple of items. Hair gel, and a comb. It poured some of the gel on Jotaro's hair and began to comb. It then quietly made noises as it did it's duty. "Ora Ora Ora!" Now it may be abusing a stand to help you in situations like this, but hey, you don't hear it complaining!  Finishing cleaning his teeth, and fixing his hair, Jotaro was satisfied to see the results. He walked to his closet and saw his wardrobe. Not much of a selection, but at least it's his style. Moments later, he now wore a long white jacket, a black tight long sleeve shirt with a purple belt across his chest and a purple vest. White pants with two belts around his waist, and two purple dress shoes. (Basically Part 4 outfit, when he meets kira for the first time, my favorite outfit!) With a final touch, Jotaro grabbed a white hat that looked like his old one! Placing it in his head, he looked into the mirror and smiled. Definitely suits him! He tipped his hat and grabbed his belongings for the day. Heading towards the kitchen for a quick bite, His mother was already there, making breakfast. "Oh, hi there Jotaro! Ready for breakfast?" "I thought you'd still be sleeping?" "Well, it's been awhile since I made you something to eat, so why not now?" "Sure, why not?" Jotaro replied as he did love his mother's cooking! "Okay!" Holly said as she gave a thumbs up!  One plate of breakfast and an embarrassing goodbye kiss later, Jotaro walked to School wondering what kind of event will happen this time? Hopefully nothing major. Right? *End music* Canterlot High, Hallway.  ("Hard to believe it's been a week since the friendship games,") Thought Twilight as she getting her stuff from her locker. ("What a crazy day that was.") She then began to walk to get class while still in deep thought. ("Still, doesn't mean I can't forget what I did that day. I know everyone has forgiven me, but I can't accept it...are the people here really that merciful? I don't know if I should be greatful or something. But I suppose it's better than being treated differently. Speaking of being treated, they are really nice to me! Even Jotaro! I wonder if it's because our counterparts from the other world have left a good name for us here? I guess I should be grateful.") "Hey Twilight, over here!" Twilight looked up and saw Sunset waving at her with her friends waving as well. ("Yeah, definitely grateful!") "Hey girls, how's it going? Nice...weather we're having huh? I mean apart from some clouds in the sky which makes it almost a nice day, but at least we have some shade to keep us from getting a sunburn eh?" Sunset and the others looked at the poor girl with an odd look. But they can't blame her for not having friends, nor being social. At least they can work on that. "Sure...The sun is bright today! Gotta have some shade to keep us cool!" Said Sunset as she gave a thumbs up with an awkward smile. "Tell me about it," replied Rarity agreeing with Twilight. "Can you imagine the heat melting my hard work make-up? It's frustrating to see it all going to waste!" "Well I think it's nice" Fluttershy spoke. "Many plants and animals need the sun to survive, so it's not that bad." "I agree with Fluttershy here," Said Applejack. "Our farm work depends on the sun to grow our apples. But a little shade here and there doesn't do much harm." "YEAH!" Screamed Pinkie Pie." And it's perfect for an outdoor party! Especially if there's ice cream involved! "Not only that, this kind of weather is great for sports practice!" Rainbow Dash added. "Sure the heat is unbearable sometimes, but it's nice to break a sweat once in a while! Plus it helps to be fit!" "I'm not so fond of the sun, 'had a bad encounter with it one time." Turning around, the girls saw Jotaro walking towards them. They greet him. "Hey Jotaro!" "Ladies." He replied while tipping his hat. "What do you mean you had a bad encounter with the sun?" Asked Sunset. "Let me guess, you got a bad sunburn? Hehehe!"Joked Rainbow Dash as she laughed. Not knowing what he really meant. "Not really, but it nearly killed me and my friends when we were in Egypt." Rainbow Dash stopped laughing as she heard what Jotaro said. "Wait, what?" "You traveled across Egypt without water?!" Shouted Twilight in panic. "What were you thinking?! Do you know how hot the sun is over there? It's common sense to bring water!" "Surviving is what I was thinking, and for your information, the sun appeared to be the work of a stand user." "Huh?" *RIIIIIIING* "That's the bell, let's go, we'll be late for class." As Jotaro walked away, Twilight looked at her new friends with a confused look as they had the same facial expression. How could a stand user summon the sun? Is that even possible? An hour has passed during school, the group were in science class, and were given a presentation on insects. How it lives, grows, feeds, and more! Some were fascinated by the subject while others were grossed out. "Yes, I know it's gross." Said the teacher. "But you have to understand, that's the way of life and how these little critters survive. Just like how we humans have to survive like everything else in this world. Now then, let's continue. Next we'll look at the beetle…" As the presentation went on, Rarity was grossed out as she complained. "Ugh...how disgusting. Couldn't we learn something else like, I don't know, less gross?" "Come on Rarity," Said Twilight. "I find it gross too, however I find it fascinating! Can you believe there are many types of beetles? Like the dung beetle, it can carry something around one thousand times its weight! Did you even know that the lady bug is a beetle too? Amazing! Oh oh oh! How about the Titanus giganteus beetle? It's so large it's about the same size as your palm!" Rarity's face slowly began to turn green hearing these facts. "Umm...Twilight maybe you should stop." Asked Sunset. "I don't want to think Rarity can handle it." Realizing what she did, Twilight faced plamed. "Sorry. I got too carried away." "It's ok, you didn't mean it. I found it fascinating too! Back in Equestria we have insects like that too, but there are many more beetles over there than here! Some are larger than you expected!" "Wow…" "Um...are there any friendly beetles?" Said Fluttershy curiously, wondering if there's any other kinds of insects or animal in Equestria. "Of course!" "Oooh! What about those who can cook sweets?" Said Pinkie Pie. Sunset rolled her eyes as she knew Pinkie was being Pinkie. "Not that I know of, if I did, I will let you know." "What about those who can harm others? Like ripping out tongues?" The girls turned to Jotaro and looked horrified! "The hell kind of question is that?" Said Rainbow Dash. "Where the hay did that come from? You been watching horror movies or something?" Applejack replied, wondering why he even asked something like that? Sunset answered the question. "Uh...not that I have heard of, I mean, there are some who will attack if provoked. Why did you ask that?" "Just asking." "Hey you in the back! Pay attention! Have your conversation another time please." "Sorry." The group replied. Just what is the deal with Jotaro today? First was the sun, now a beetle? Is there something he had experience before that relates those two together? He did mention about a stand user, so does that mean he's not the only stand user?! So far they've only met one. Two actually, yet they are the same but different person. Time to have fun out! Lunch time, cafeteria. Lunch time, the favourite time of the day! When you didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning, or just feeling hungry, this is the place and time! Eating lunch at the same table, Jotaro, Twilight, Sunset, and the rest had their lunch and were chatting. "So, it's been a week since you two have been in CHS! What do you think?" Asked Sunset. "I like it! Everyone here is nice! I never had this much acceptance during my stay in Crystal Prep!" Replied Twilight happily. "Good hear! How about you Jotaro? What's Your opinion?" "It's alright, not a fan of the attention I receive, but at least I don't have to worry about fangirls. God knows how crazy they are." The girls raised an eyebrow as they wondered how popular Jotaro was in his old school? What did he do to get that much attention? "Oh? You were popular amongst the ladies hmm?" Said Rarity as she asked about his school status in Japan. "I'm quite curious on how you were able to make them turn heads towards you. What was it? The muscles? The clothing style? Or perhaps the bad boy attitude you've got going on?" "Yes." "What?" "I said yes." "Which one?" "Which one do you think?" "...Oh! All of the above is then." "Right. Anyway, like I said this school is perhaps better than my old one. Less strict, no wanna be gangs, not much school drama, ya know, the types you read in a manga." "Ooooh! You mean like Bible Black?" Replied Pinkie Pie. "No, that's hentai." "Wait. Hentai? You mean…" Pinkie Pie smacked her face cheeks and screamed. "OOOOOOH NOOOOO!!!! You mean I've been reading porn?! I thought it was one of those Ecchi type mangas!" "Good grief…" "Ok...enough about that." Sunset said as she starts to blush, along with the rest of the girls. "Jotaro, let's get serious. Earlier this morning you mentioned the sun and a beetle attacked you, along with mentioning a stand user. Does that mean this world has stand users too?! Because I said they are rare in Equestria! How is it possible that people here obtain stands unnaturally? "I do remember you saying that, but first tell me, how does one obtain a stand back in your world?" "As I said they're rare, one being born with a stand is one out of a billion of the population in all of Equestria! Anyone can have a stand! However it is rumored that an artifact can give you a stand if you are strong enough to have one. But here, in this world, how is it possible? Does that mean an artifact similar to Equestria exists here? Or is it from my world?" Jotaro crossed his arms as he put some thought into it. He really doesn't know how those people he fought gained the power of a stand. Perhaps Dio could've given them a stand through other means. But how and what? "Honestly I don't know how the people here gained a stand, but I do know who has given them the ability to have one." "Really? Who?" "His name was Dio." "Dio?" "That's right. Dio he…*sigh* Where do I even begin? Let's just say that bastard has been screwing with my family before I was even born. He gave up his humanity for his own gain, and killed innocents along the way. In short he's a psychopath. To make things even worse, and believe it or not, he was a vampire, and a stand user. Nearly cost my life fighting him. Some of the people who traveled with me died...My best friend, Kakyoin, a Fortune Teller, Muhammad Avdol, and Iggy, a Boston Terrier dog with a stand. Not a single day passed that I wish they were here alive. I'm just glad Dio is gone, and the lives that were taken can rest in peace…" The School bell rang, lunch was over. "Time to get back to class, I'll see you all later." Jotaro left the table while girls stayed behind, not saying a word. Hearing his tone, it sounded like he didn't want to talk about what happened in Egypt. Sunset frowned as she didn't know about his loss and suffering he went through. She just wanted to know about the stand users in this world and how there is more than one. Rarity placed a hand on her shoulder and said. "Sunset, are you alright?" "No. I just wanted to know about stand users here, not bring up bad memories." "But you didn't know, we didn't either." "I know but still…" "How about we make it up to him? I'm sure that'll make him feel better?" Suggested Applejack. "Yeah! That way we can patch things up between us!" Added Rainbow Dash. "But how do we do that? We barely know this world's Jotaro." Said Fluttershy. "I'd say we throw an ocean themed party! And we dress up as dolphins! Said Pinkie Pie excitedly, while the girls rolled their eyes. "How about we just visit him and apologise? Simple as that, nothing too fancy or anything." Twilight replied. The girls liked that idea, but the question is where does he live? Oh boy. Later that day, after school. Walking home from school, Jotaro was minding his own business while unknowingly being followed. The stalker, his friends. The girls 'stalked' their friend heading home as they carefully sneaked behind him. Of course the alternative could've been asking him to walk with him to his house, sadly they didn't. Why? None of them has experience speaking with boys about walking with them. That's why they decided to follow him. After following him for quite some time, Jotaro finally made it home. That's until… "You can come out now." "Eh?!" The girls gasped, how did he... "This isn't the first time I've been followed home. Now come out and show yourself." Seeing it's useless now, the girls exit their spots and apologize. "Sorry Jotaro, just wanted to make it up to you about what happened at lunch." Said Sunset as she rubbed the back of her head. "*Sigh* Good grief, you could've just told me instead of stalking all the way to my home ya know." "Yeah it wasn't a good idea...but it was Twilight's plan!" "W-WHAT?! No it wasn't! I said we would visit him and apologise! Not stalk him like some yandere who can't walk up to a boy and talk." "But we didn't know where he lives!" "So?!" "Look, it doesn't matter. We apologized, and that's it. Now let's go home and-" "Oh no you dont! You started this mess, now finish it properly!" "Why should I?! You're not my mom!" "Maybe I should be since you can't follow instructions clearly!" "You know what? I should just-" "Shouldn't we stop then?" Asked Applejack watching the two girls argue back and forth. "And get caught in the middle? No thank you!" Said Rarity. "I've seen enough soap operas to know how this ends." "She's right, it never ends well." Agreed Fluttershy. "Poor Natasha, she should've never let Ricardo go up against mean ol' Mitchell." "I know right? I was shouting at my T.V. without knowing it's just a show." "Who cares? This is the best entertainment up close!" Rainbow Dash replied as she wanted to see some action!" "World star!" Shouted Pinkie as she began to record the argument on her phone! Having enough of their argument, Jotaro lost his temper and… "SHUT UP!!!" *Chop* *Chop* "Urk!" "Yeow!" Being Chopped on top of their heads, Sunset and Twilight fell on their knees and began to rub their heads, while Jotaro scolded the two. "Will you stop arguing damn it! You're acting like a bunch of kindergartens! I swear I will Ora Ora you two if you don't shut up!" Both girls shivered the thought of Star Platinum appearing before them and getting punched over and over! Quickly, they bowed for forgiveness. "We're sorry! Please don't hurt us!" "What's going on here?" Turning around, Jotaro saw his mother outside the front door to see what the commotion was all about. "Jotaro, who are these girls?" Quickly thinking, without making it look like whatever she thinks it is, Jotaro said. "T-There just friends that's all, I invited them over for dinner. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I wanted to surprise you knowing how much you love having company and I figured…" Holly smiled. "Why that's wonderful of you Jotaro! I'm grateful that you were kind enough to be thinking of me! As well as bringing some cute girls over!" Jotaro and the girls blushed from Holly's comments, mostly from embarrassment. "Now then, why don't you all come inside and relax, I was just about to start dinner! Oh and please remove your shoes, we may not live in Japan anymore, but I love to bring its customs with me!" Heading inside and taking their shoes off, the girls looked around the house and saw it looked very different! The outside may seem like a normal large house, but when you enter, it's like you are in Japan! The whole inside looked like a traditional Japanese house! "Woah…" "I know that look!" Said Holly. "Amazed aren't you? I'm glad to see it on your faces! Looks like I made the right choice to make it just like our old home, right Jotaro?" "Sure. I'll see you in a bit, I'm gonna wash up for dinner." "Okay!" She replied as she gave a thumbs up. Holly turned to the girls and said, "Feel free to look around, I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything!" Now by themselves, the gang split up and looked around to kill time and see what Jotaro's house is like! With Sunset, Twilight and Rarity.   "Wow, so this is what a Japanese house is like? It's so different compared to ours!" Said Sunset as she began to look around. "Not to mention the atmosphere, it feels so relaxing!" "I agree! Japanese homes are supposed to make the owner and its guest feel comfortable." Twilight added as she gave out facts. "Especially during sunny weather as the cool winds flow through the house as a natural air conditioner!" "I'd say I feel relaxed already! I mean look at the place!" Said Rarity as she admired the house. "It must've been expensive to pay for all of this, makes you wonder how rich Jotaro's family is." "Well, Jojo did say his father is a famous Japanese jazz musician? So I guess that's where they got all this fancy stuff then huh?" "Jojo? Did you just say Jojo?" "I did, what of it? All the students called him Jojo when we attended Crystal Prep. Is it a problem?" "N-No problem at all darling! It's just that the other Twilight called the other Jotaro, Jojo. Anyone else but her who called him Jojo, he seemed very annoyed by it. My guess only those who are closest can call him that. And you just called him Jojo. Does that mean you are a close friend?" Rarity added with a tease at the end of her sentence, making Twilight blush. "N-No! Of course not! I just thought that calling him Jojo would be alright seeing were friends! I haven't called him that in person yet, but I wonder how he would react to it if I did. Would he be annoyed or…" Rarity placed her hand on Twilight's shoulder and replied. "The best way to know him better is, like all the cheesy romance situations, is to be yourself! Not something that will change who you are!" "Be myself? That sounds simple!" "But tone down the talking! Don't want to ruin your chance with him, don't you?" "Right! I can do that too!" "Good. Just so you know, we are rooting for you!" "Thank you, I just hope it works out between us…" Sunset stepped in and said. "I'm sure it will, now tell us how and when did you have a crush on him? I'm curious about how that happened." "Well...It all happened when he began to defend me from the other students before we headed to CHS for Friendship games." With Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Walking around and looking at the place, Applejack was impressed. "*Whistle* Look at this place! I can't imagine the cost of living here! And the yard? Look at it! It's been professionally maintained! I bet if I plant some apple seeds, they'll grow up nice!" "Yeah...that sounds neat." Rainbow Dash replied lazily as she didn't care, but she was impressed too.  "I wonder what Apples taste like grown in Japan?" "I'm sure they have the same taste." "Nah, I don't think so." "*Sigh* As much as I want to discuss food, I wanna see if they have a training room." Applejack stopped walking and looked at Rainbow Dash. "Training room? What do you mean a training room? "A dojo! That's what I mean! Every rich family has to have a dojo to work out or something." "Now why I'm the hay do you want to know if they have one of those?" "For the experience! Don't you wanna see it in person and know what it's like to train in those rooms?" "Not really." "Glad to hear you're interested! Come on!" Rainbow Dash ignored what Applejack said and grabbed her arm to find the Dojo room! The poor cowgirl was dragged along as she complained. "H-Hey! I didn't say yes! Let me go!" "It's Opposite day! No means yes!" "That's not even a real thing!" It took a while of searching, but the girls finally found the room they were looking for. The dojo! Entering the room, Rainbow Dash squealed in excitement. "This...is...AWESOME! I've always wanted to see one up close!" "Alright, now we've seen it. Come on, I don't want Jotaro's mom getting upset if we're in something we aren't allowed to be." "It'll take just a second to find something in here!" "Like what?" "You'll see!" Said Rainbow Dash as she began running around and looking for something. Applejack rubbed her head as her friend was giving her a headache. Why can't she just stop getting herself in trouble? One of these days she'll learn. Hopefully. "Found it! Catch!" "Huh? Woah!" Applejack caught the object that was thrown at her, she observed it."A wood sword?" "Yeah, so cool!" Replied Rainbow Dash, as she held another wood sword. "Wow...it may not look much, but these things are strong! If it hits you with this it'll hurt bad!" "Well obviously it's made out of wood. What are you planning to do with them anyway?" "Oh I got an idea…" "And that is?" "*Pshew*" Rainbow Dash made a laser sword sound effect as she brought the sword close to her. "Fight me." "Huh? Are you serious?" Asked Applejack in surprise. What is she thinking? What's going on in that crazy head of hers?! "Rainbow this is-" "I am not Rainbow Dash, I am Darth Dash!" "Really?" "Yes really! Now fight me Apple Skywalker!" "Yeah I'm out of here." As Applejack headed out, a blog of lightning struck near her! She fell down on her butt, and looked at the scorch mark. Angry at what happened, Applejack turned to Rainbow Dash and said, "WHAT IN TARNATION ARE YOU DOING?!" Rainbow Dash, now dressed in dark robes, and her eyes now yellow. She raised her red laser sword towards Applejack and said. "Yes...let the hate flow through you! Use it to defeat me! Then strike me down and claim your destiny!" Applejack stood up, now wearing white robes and activated her weapon as a blue laser came out of the handle and replied.  "No. I will never give in to my hate! I will defeat you with the power of the light side!" "Heheahahaha!" Laughed Darth Dash like a certain Emperor. "Then you'll feel the power of the dark side!" Both readied themselves and waited to see who would make the first move…and then. They attacked! With Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Walking around the house and observing the place, both girls heard some noises coming from another room. Curious, they walked toward it and found it's source. It was Rainbow Dash and Applejack fighting! But it wasn't what they expected. Both rivals were battling out using wood swords and making sound effects with them. Question is why? Seeing this opportunity, both took out their phones and began recording. You may never know if you need the footage for those 'special occasions'... Later… Holly called the girls to come to the dining room as dinner was ready! As they walked into the room, the food was placed on the table and it looked delicious! It was a feast for the group! Then, Applejack looked at a large but small height table covered with a blanket on the floor with pillows around it. "Uh, Mrs.Kujo? Not to be rude but your table is kinda small, and on the floor. How are we-" "Why it's simple, just sit down on the floor." "Pardon?" Holly giggled. "This is a kotatsu, a japanese table with a blanket that keeps you warm! Self heated too!" Applejack whistle as she seemed interested in this kotatsu thing, she wondered if Mrs. Kujo knows where to get one? "This is so cool! I've always wanted to sit next to one!" Twilight replied excitedly. "And the food! I've wanted to try real Japanese food too!" Added Rarity. "I mean I've tried some, but I feel like it's missing something." "Why don't you try it out for yourself? I'm certain my cooking will knock your taste buds off!" "With pleasure Mrs. Kujo!" "Don't eat without me, I don't want to be left with nothing you hear?" "Huh? Why do I hear Aztec music?" Said Pinkie Pie as she looked to where the voice came from and then… *play pillar men theme* As Jotaro entered the room, the girls, minus Holly, blushed deep red on their faces as they looked at their friend wearing a pair of sweatpants and a tight muscle shirt that showed off his body build! "Sweet baby Jesus…" "Holy crap!" "Those muscles! He's perfect!" "He can cream pie me anytime…" "Must...not...look...but I can't resist!" "Sweet Celestia!" They began to fantasize in their minds. Applejack saw Jotaro working on her farm shirtless as the sweat ran down on his body carrying a basket full of apples. Rainbow Dash Imagined him being her personal trainer as he gave her some 'private lessons' in the locker room. Rarity was measuring his body to make a custom outfit for her friend as she then placed her hand on his chest and began rubbing it lustfully. Pinkie Pie opened the door to get room and saw Jotaro on her bed in a seductive pose, naked, as he told her to decorate him like her cakes. Oh she did. At least, in her mind. Fluttershy found herself alone in a forest, a sound was made behind her. She turned around and saw Jotaro dressed like the big bad wolf. The girl smiled as she walked towards him and began to give him a belly rub. Until lewd things happened. Sunset walked the hallways of Canterlot High, as the students looked in fear as she and Jotaro ruled the place with an iron fist! They looked at each other and brought their faces closer and… "The hell are you girls looking at?" *stop music* Snapping out of their daydreams, the girls laughed nervously as they couldn't look Jotaro due their imaginations about him. "Hehehe! Sorry about that! It's...a girl thing!" Sunset replied as her friends agreed! Not wanting to tell what they just thought about. "Really? Then with why God's name is Twilight still like that?" Turning towards Twilight, the girl was frozen stiff as her glasses were completely fogged, and bleeding from her nose! Oh boy! "Uh, Twilight? You ok there?" "Darling, I think she's in her thoughts too deep!" "So she's in a coma of sorts?" "Possibly." "Great. What do we do?" "J-Jotaro-Kun…" Hearing what Twilight said, the group recoiled back as she sounded...odd. "What the hell?" Said Jotaro as he started to feel uncomfortable. "Oh my!" Holly added as she began to blush. " I know this condition!" "You do?" Asked Rarity. "Yes. After living in Japan for many years, I've seen things that I thought I would never witness. What we are seeing what Twilight is falling under is called, fangirling!" "Uh...fangirling?" "Yes, only teenage girls who have rarely experienced anything perverted will be trapped in their own mind!" "You've got to be joking!" "I'm afraid I'm not." The girls began to feel bad for poor Twilight, so that means she's...a pure hearted girl! "OH GOD WHAT DO WE DO?! TWILIGHT IS TOO PURE FOR THIS WORLD!" "OH MY GOD! WE SORT OF KILLED TWILIGHT!" "YOU BITCHES!" "QUICK! CALL 911!" "HOW ARE WE GONNA LIVE WITH OURSELVES NOW!" "NO WAY IN HELL I'M GOING TO JAIL WITH YOU FIVE!" "Relax girls! She's fine!" Holly said calmly. "She is?" They replied. "Yes! She just needs to ride it out." "How long is that gonna take?" "I say it'll take awhile. In the meantime, let's dig in!" Seeing there's no point in doing anything, the girls, and Jotaro sat down and began to eat. Leaving Twilight to her…'imprisonment'. But they wondered, what kind of thoughts is she thinking about? The group shutters to imagine what inhuman thoughts hide in her pure mind. What perverted things is she thinking of? Only the brave enough may survive to see such horror! Twilight's Mind. The School day has ended, today's class work was sure tough, but at least she made it! Until tomorrow. Twilight stayed behind as it was her turn to clean the classroom for the evening. She wished she joined her friends to hang out, hopefully there's still time after she's done! They were supposed to meet up in the shopping center to see that thing Rainbow Dash mentioned. Wonder what it is? "Twilight?" Hearing her name, Twilight turned to see- "J-Jotaro-Kun? What are you doing here? I thought you were with the others!" "I Thought I would stay and wait for you, I don't want you to get lost on the way." "J-Jotaro-Kun...thank you for staying." "*Hmph* Whatever." Twilight smiled, she was glad Jotaro is a good friend to rely on, despite being delinquent. Finishing up her cleaning, the girl sighed in relief as she could leave now. "*Phew* Finally! All done! Ready to go Jotaro-Kun?" "Been ready the whole time, let's go!" He replied impatiently. "Hai!" Gathering her belongings, Twilight said. "What a day huh Jotaro-Kun? School work was hard wasn't it?" "You kidding me? I busted my ass off today! The hell was Cheerilee thinking making us work on something hard?!" "Oh come on! At least it was a challenge for me! It's not everyday I work on something that makes me sweat!" "You're such a nerd." "A nerd who helps you with your homework!" "*Groan* Don't remind me." "*Hmph*, If you paid attention to Cheerilee-Sensei's lessons, then it won't be hard won't it?" "Shut up…" Messing with him enough, Twilight smiled as she patted Jotaor's back to comfort him. "Relax Jotaro-Kun! I was just teasing!" "Right, sure." He replied as he smiled back. "Come on, let's go already!" "Coming!" As both walked the hallways, the teenagers kept looking straight without making any eye contact. Jotaro wanted to smoke a cigarette, but with Twilight here, it's not a good idea. He knows how much she hates those things. It's not his fault what calms him down! Twilight held her school bag in front of her as she kept her thoughts to herself. She wanted to keep talking to Jotaro, but didn't want to bother him. He may lose interest in her. If only there's something to discuss… "Hey Twilight?" "Hmm? What is it, Jotaro-Kun?" "Remember when Redheart visited the class today and discussed...you know?" Twilight saw Jotaro blush! Why was he blushing? That's not like him at all! "I do remember, she gave a presentation on sexual health. What about-" Twilight then began blush. "JOTARO-KUN! How could you?!" "What?! I just wanted to know what you think about it? The others laughed during the presentation! And I wanted to know what you think?" "What I think? Um...well...at least we know how babies come from! And how it works! Hehehe! I mean, it's interesting right!" "Yeah...interesting." Seeing this has been awkward, Twilight began walking faster. "Ok, enough talk! Let's meet up with the others shall we?" Before she could go any further, she felt a grasp on her wrist. "Twilight wait!" Said Jotaro as he stopped her from leaving. "Huh?" "I...I was wondering if...if…" "If what?" "If you wanted to try it...together!" "Try it together? *Gasp* Y-Y-You m-m-m-mean-" "Yes, sex." Twilight's mind stopped working for a moment. ("KYAAAA!!! J-J-J-J-JOTARO-KUN W-W-WANTS TO T-TRY S-SE-SE-SE-") "Uh...Twilight?" "YES!" She shouted, surprising Jotaro. "Huh?!" "Y-Yes! I...I want to try to have s-sex with...with you Jotaro-Kun!" "*Gulp* R-Right! Ok! But first...we need to find some place where they can't find us. Or hear us." "That's true...maybe the gym shed can work. Nobody is there at this time!" "Good Idea. L-Let's go!" "H-Hai!" Walking to the gym shed quickly as they could, Jotaro picked the lock of the door and went inside. Feeling their heart's beat fast,  Jotaro and Twilight looked at each other and blushed. "So...this is it! We're…" "Yeah…" he said as he looked away nervously. "How do we do this? I mean...how do we even begin?" "Well, like every dumb romance scene, a kiss is a start." "K-K-KISS?!" "Well, that's how it works right?" "Right...a kiss...But…" "I've never kissed anyone before...and...I'm still 'pure'." Jotaro smiled. He placed his hand over Twilight's cheek and replied. "It's ok, I've never done this too. We'll go slow, there's no need to rush things. "R-Right! Remember, once we do this, there's no going back. You'll have to take responsibility!" "Of course! Just promise you won't tell your brother about this!" "Promise." Both Jotaro and Twilight looked into each other's eyes and slowly they brought their faces closer, their heart's began to beat faster! Twilight began to shake nervously as she didn't think this would happen! How could a smart girl like her be able to do something like this with Jotaro, a delinquent who always gets in trouble with the teachers! Perhaps it was fate, luck, a blessing, or something! But it didn't matter, as long as it's him, she knows he won't harm her. Their lips were close to each other. And then. *Smack* "YEOW!" Twilight felt a pain on her forehead, she placed her hand on it and winced at the pain. "Argh! What the fu-" "Well, look who's back to the land of the living." "Huh?" Back to reality. Twilight found herself in a car, and Jotaro was the driver. She looked around to see it was just him and her, nobody else here! "Wha-What happened?" "You passed out in my house when I entered the dining room." "Really?" Twilight replied feeling embarrassed as she remembered what he wore when he entered the room. How can someone at his age have that build?! Her head then began to hurt. "Ugh...And my head?" "Your head smacked the back of my car seat when I hit the breaks." Jotaro casually replied. "Oh, well, can I ask where are you taking me? Where are the other girls?" "Home is where I'm taking you, the girls gave me your address in case you're wondering. I took them home while you were passed out." "Thanks Jotaro." Twilight replied, she then blushed as she remembered her dream. Damn it! Why did it have to end like that?! And it was getting to the good part too… "Sure thing." The rest of the drive was quiet, both teens didn't say a word until they made it to Twilight's house. Pulling over in front of the driveway, Jotaro said. "Here we are." "Thanks Jotaro, I appreciate the ride." "You're welcome, I'll walk you to your house." "That's ok, I can manage!" "Suit yourself. But before you go, here." Jotaro brought out a small box and gave it to Twilight. "It's my mother's left over cooking, we made sure there's plenty for you to enjoy." "Wow! Thanks!" She said taking the box from his hands. "I can't wait to dig in!" "Trust me, you'll come back for seconds." "I look forward to it!" "In that case, I'll see you tomorrow." "See ya!" Jotaro began to reverse his car from the driveway and headed back home. But then. "Jotaro wait!" He hit the brakes immediately before I could hit the gas pedal, did she forget something?" "What's up?" Twilight didn't say anything as she was nervous about what she was going to say. Would he hate her for it? Well...time to find out! "J-Jotaro, would it be alright if I called you Jojo?" "What?" He said, Twilight wanted to call him Jojo? Did he hear that right? "I know it sounds sudden, but we've been friends for awhile now, so, would it be alright to call you that name?" Jotaro couldn't tell if this was a confession or just asking permission to call him that nickname? Twilight had never shown any affection towards him like the other girls who wanted to get closer to him. She did however show support to him when he struggled with school work. She didn't even flirt or tried to move closer to him. Twilight was just a normal girl. Jotaro sighed and said. "Sure, you can call me Jojo. I think you've earned it." "Really?" Twilight said in relief. Looks like the risk paid off! "Yeah, really. You're one of the few people I let others call me that name, so…" "Thanks...Jojo!" "Hmph, I'll see you tomorrow." With that, Jotaro drove home. Leaving Twilight with a smile on her face. A big smile! As soon as he was farther from her, she walked to her house and raised her fist in the air in victory!  Driving home, Jotaro smiled. It's not everyday a girl like Twilight acts normal around him. Of course there are the other girls in his group that kinda act normal, but that's for another time. Still, he wondered about her. Why did she want to call him Jojo? Is there something he should know about? Or perhaps being good friends she wanted to use that nickname. Either way, at least she's happy… The next day. *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* "*Groan* I don't know what's worse, Monday's or Tuesday's? I hate the weekdays." Like everyday, Jotaro turns off his alarm, stretches, cleans himself up, dresses up, gets breakfast, his mother kisses him goodbye, and walks to school. It's a repeating process until he graduates. Only a few more years until that happens. Hooray. "Jojo!" Great, people who want to walk with him...just his luck. Turning around he said. "Damn it, can't you people just-" "What people? It's just me." "Huh?" Seeing the one who called him, it was Twilight! She called him Jojo! Guess he forgot about giving her permission to call him that. "Oh, it's you. What are you doing on this side of town?" "I'd figured I take the bus to here, and perhaps walk to school with you! Is it wrong for a friend to do that?" "*Tch* It's no problem, just don't want you to waste your time on me that's all." "It's not a waste of time if I want to be with a good friend, so don't worry about me!" Jotaro shrugged, guess Twilight really wants to hang out with him as friends. But is there really something more about this? What is it? "Alright, you can walk with me. Just make sure you keep your hands to yourself." The girl smirked. "I wasn't planning on doing such a thing Jojo, why you ask?" "Last time you touched me you wanted to have your way with me. That's why I asked." "*Gasp*"  Twilight froze in shock while blushing. How dare he bring that up! "H-Hey! I was under the power of magic ok?! So don't put that on me!" "Heh. Relax I'm joking. Come on, don't want to be late for school." Replied Jotaro as he walked away leaving Twilight behind. "Hey! Get back here! And that wasn't funny!" The teen tipped his hat as a small victory against Twilight. Looks like this friendship between them will be-  ("Urk! What...What is this?!") Jotaro felt a powerful yet fearful feeling. It...it couldn't be! ("This can't be happening!") He then saw smoke coming from the ground in front of him! What the hell?! Damn it! This...this is coming from the work of a stand user!!! ("Shit! Shit! Shit! Why now?! Where is the user? Don't tell me they have a range type stand!") A small spark came from the smoke! Another spark, another, and another! What's it doing? Is this really the work of a stand user?! ("This power! What the hell is it?!") Something was coming. It's coming from the smoke and sparks! but what?! "Hey Jojo! Get back here!" Oh no! Twilight! "GET BACK!!!" *BOOM* … … … … … … … ... Her ears rang painfully, her head hurts, everything hurts. Twilight was slowly regaining consciousness, she heard some voice, but barley could hear them. "I...it…I wo…Ha...I, Yo...ha...won…" "Yo...Bas…" "Da...it...you...ali…" "I...on't...esca…" "App...I...an…no...ie…" The sound of sirens was heard. "Sh...cou...luc...unt…tim…" "Ge...her…" … … … *Gasp* Twilight immediately sat up and caught her breath, she coughed from the smoke around the area and saw a couple of people around her lying on the ground unconscious. Who are they? Where did they come from? Why are they here? Why- Jojo… "JOTARO!!!" Twilight screamed his name in panic! Where is he?! Last he saw him was when an explosion appeared out of nowhere! She looked and looked until she found a person wearing white! "JOTARO!" Twilight slowly stood up and struggled to walk towards him as her body was sore from the blast. Nothing major just some scratches here and a bruise there. But for Jotaro…as she made it to her friend, she screamed. "Oh god...OH GOD NOOOO!!!" She saw Jotaro lying on the ground, covered in his own blood and not moving! She crouched down and brought his body close to her as she broke down crying. "*Sob* J-JOTARO! WAKE UP! PLEASE! JOJO!!!" "Mr...Jotaro…" Twilight looked up and saw a teenage boy, covered in his own blood, with a wooden pike sticking out of his hip! What happened to him?! "S-Stay back! Don't come any closer!" "I...I can...help...him." The teen took out his hand and placed it on Jotaro. She could've swore another hand appeared next to his. Suddenly, a gold aura surrounds Jotaro as his wounds begin to heal! Within moments, her friend was back to normal! How?! "There...good as new...heh..wish I could do the same to myself…" "Um...thank you...for saving him. But I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying." "Heh...I wish I could know what you're saying…but I'll take that as a thank...you…" *Thud* The teen falls down to the ground unconscious, he looked like he's barely clinging onto life! Twilight just sat there not knowing what to do, all of this just happened so fast! Here she was having a normal day, then all of a sudden an explosion appeared out of nowhere, and these people appeared! "What the heck is going on here…?" To be continued... > Chapter 8 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morioh, Japan, 1999. In an unknown street, a large crowd surrounded the area as ambulances, firefighters, and police came to find what they've been told was an explosion. What they saw was a group of people, looking at a man in a white suit stained with blood! The other is a student covered in blood as well, and had been stabbed with wooden pikes! It's a miracle he's still alive! One of the medics came up to the man in white to help him, but what they didn't know was that as soon as the man touched them, they were secretly turned into a bomb! You heard right, a bomb! How and why? Well, it turns out the man in white is...a stand user! That's right! A stand user! But this is no ordinary user, this man happens to be not other than Yoshikage Kira! A serial murderer who kills women and takes their hand to who captures his interest. The medic happens to be a woman, she has no idea who this man is and what he can do. The student who is wounded, is Josuke Higashikata, behind him are his friends and allies! They have been looking for this monster for a long time, now they found him! But not for long as Yoshikage was about to detonate the woman and restart an hour of time! But before he could push the button, his hand was pulled by gravity, forcing him onto the ground! He saw one of Josuke's fiends using his stand to prevent him from resetting time! An older man ran up to him to stop him from using his bomb, this man is Jotaro Kujo. He was their only hope of stopping Yoshikage, and end this nightmare once and for all! He was close, so close! Why couldn't he have a quiet peaceful life! Damn Josuke and his allies! Damn his false son! And Damn his luck! Why can't he just… *Click* *Boom* Smoke surrounded Yoshikage, he did it! He finally did it! Bites the dust has been used! Now time will be reset an hour! Victory is finally his! … … … … … … "Huh? W-Where am I? Have I reset time?" He checked himself to see all of his wounds have been healed! What a relief. Yoshikage looked around to see an unfamiliar place, this isn't any part of morioh he recognised. Is this japan? The houses looked so different, and the signs, it's not in japanese. Where is he? Then he realised something. If he's not in japan, then, he... "Hehehe...HAHAHA!!!! I did it! I won! Ha ha ha! I, Yoshikage Kira, have won! My quiet life can finally begin! Ha ha ha ha! I don't know where I am, but it doesn't matter any more! All I ask is to live my life the way I want! It seems it is now a reality!" "Y-Yoshikage…you bastard…" "*Gasp* No… NO! NO! NO!" Yoshikage turned around to see the one face he didn't want to see! "Damn it! You're still alive...Josuke! But how?! How are you here?! Bites the dust should've allowed me, and me alone to the past!" Josuke carefully stood up as the pikes stabbed into him hindered his movements!  "I...won't...let you...escape!" "Apparently I can, and it seems you aren't alone either." Josuke looked around to see his friend's came with him too! But they're unconscious! Not good! "Hmph! No matter! I'll kill you first and your friends as well! This time, you will die!"  Yoshikage summoned his stand, Killer Queen, to finish the job once and for all! Then, his quiet life can begin! The sound of sirens was heard. It sounded close too! Yoshikage knew it was risky to continue this fight, especially with the authorities. "Shit! And I was so close to end you! Count  yourself lucky, because next time, luck won't be with you! Until time, Josuke." "G-Get back Here you-Gah!" Josuke fell down, he looked up to see that monster escape! Damn it, no! If only his wounds weren't in the way, then he could catch up to Yoshikage! "Oh god...OH GOD NOOOO!!!" "Huh?" Josuke turned to see a girl crying, in her arms was- "*Sob* J-JOTARO! WAKE UP! PLEASE! JOJO!!!" It can be...Jotaro! He's here too? What a relief. But why does this girl know him? Who is she? A friend or something? Doesn't matter now, Jotaro needs help! He's hurt! Looks like the explosion must've injured him when he was running towards Yoshikage. He didn't have enough strength to heal the others, but at least he can heal Jotaro since he could hear the sirens come to them. ("Hang in there guys, Help is on the way…") Josuke carefully stood up and walked to the girl holding Jotaro "Mr...Jotaro…" The girl looked up and saw him. She looked shocked! Perhaps it's because he's covered in his own blood thanks to his fight with Yoshikage. He couldn't do anything about it! "S-Stay back! Don't come any closer!" What did she say? Was...was that english? She a tourist? That explains why he couldn't understand her. He should've paid more attention in his english class. Getting close enough, Josuke said "I...I can...help...him." Crazy Diamond Appeared next to him and placed its hands on Jotaro, in moments, the man's wounds were healed! "There...good as new...heh..wish I could do the same to myself…" "Um...thank you...for saving him. But I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying." Said the girl looking confused on what happened. Josuke smiled. "Heh...I wish I could know what you're saying…but I'll take that as a thank...you…" *Thud* Josuke falls down to the ground and his vision went dark. … … … … … … … … … … … "Hmm...Huh? Where am I?" "You're in the hospital." Josuke turned and Jotaro next to him. The teenager smiled and said. "Mr. Jotaro! Boy am I glad you're here." "...You gave us quite a scare earlier, didn't think you'd make it." "Well, I've been through worse than this, so I'll be fine. What about you? I know I healed you, but I want to make sure you're ok." Jotaro crossed his arms as he looked at the kid with a serious expression. "I'm fine, your stand patched me up good. Although, it didn't fix my outfit. It wasn't cheap ya know? Had it custom made for me." Josuke laughed nervously. "Sorry about that. Didn't have enough energy for that, or help the others. Speaking of them, how are they alright? How long have we been out? What about Yoshikage? Did we find him? Did-" "Don't worry, we'll find him. Just get some rest. As for your friends, they're fine, they just need rest." Josuke felt relieved. As long as his friends are alive and kicking, then they have another chance to beat that bastard. This time, he's going down! But… "Hey. Mr. Jotaro?" "What's up?" "Don't take this the wrong way but, aren't you supposed to look a bit...older?" Jotaro raised an eyebrow, older? What is this kid talking about? What does he mean older? "Don't know what your talking kid, I've been like this the whole time." Josuke knew something was wrong, Jotaro never called him 'kid'. He also seems as if he doesn't know him and pretends to. Did Yoshikage's explosion cause Jotaro to suffer amnesia? Or perhaps… "Hey, Mr. Jotaro? Tell me, what's my name?" "What kind of question is that? Why are you-" "Tell me! What's my name? Who Is my father? Who is my mother? What year was I born in? Come on, you know this!" Jotaro didn't say a word, causing Josuke to confirm his suspicion. "Just as I thought...Crazy Diamond!" Josuke's stand appeared next to him and attacked! "Dorarararararararara!!!!" "Shit! Star Platinum!" Screamed Jotaro as his stand appeared as well! "Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!!!" Both stands fists collided, the whole room shook like an earthquake! Star Platinum, and Crazy Diamond kept their assault against each other as their strength and speed were nearly identical! Neither of them couldn't over power their opponent! Giving it their all with this one punch, both stands attacked and their fist met. "Ora!" "Dora!" *Slam* The whole room shook once more, the stands stood still to see who would flinch from the pain. Suddenly, their fists cracked! Causing Jotaro and Josuke's hands to bleed! It seems their stands are the same type. Both teens stepped back as they clenched their hands, but kept their stands in front of them just in case. Josuke pointed at the so called 'Jotaro' with his good hand and said. "Who are you? You look like Jotaro, but a few years younger, and his attacks weren't as strong as yours when we first fought. You a copycat stand user type? Or someone who looks like him? Did Yoshikage send you? What a coward, letting someone else do the dirty work for him! And where's the real Jotaro? What have you done to him?!" "Hold on! What the hell are you talking about? Me looking younger? Yoshikage? What's going on?!" "*Tch* Don't even try to trick me you bastard! Once I beat you, you're gonna tell me everything!" Jotaro grew frustrated as this kid didn't want to listen. What's worse is the fact he is a stand user! Who is he? Where did he come from? And seriously, who is Yoshikage?! "Here I come faker! Dora!" Crazy Diamond charged in and threw a punch, but the attack was caught by Star Platinum's own good hand! Josuke's stand struggled to free itself, but it was no use! "Last warning kid, stop and listen before you regret it!" "Like hell I will! Let go of me!" Jotaro sighed, he warned him. "Have it your way kid...Star Platinum! The world!" "Wait, what?! ARGH!!!!" Out of nowhere, Josuke flew back and impacted the wall! Forcing Crazy Diamond to disappear. He clenched his stomach and felt like he needed to throw up. ("What the hell happened?! Something hit me from nowhere! Could it be? Did this guy stop time?! But how? Only Jotaro has that ability! Does his stand not only have the ability to copy a person's identity and stand, but its powers too? Damn it!") "That was just a tap compared to putting all of my strength into that attack, now stay down!" As Josuke was catching his breath, he wondered why didn't this guy just kill him already? Is he waiting for the right time to strike? Or perhaps he's toying with him until he lets his guard down, and then goes for the kill! He stands back up and says. "I'm...not...done...yet!" Jotaro pinched the bridge of his nose, this kid just won't give up! "Good frickin grief, you got guts kid, I'll give you that. But, when someone tells you to stay down," Jotaro then raised his fist and punched the teenager in the face. He fell down on the floor and didn't move. He's knocked Out. "You stay down!" Now with the fight over, Jotaro sighed in relief as Star Platinum disappeared, the fight is over. This kid is something, a stand user here in Canterlot? Then that means there's the possibility there's more in the city. If there are, then how come they haven't made any incidents yet? He really hoped he could have a normal life after his trip in Egypt. Guess not. "Jotaro?" "Hmm?" Jotaro turned to see Twilight entering the room. "Jotaro! What are you doing out the bed?! And your hand!" Said Twilight rushed towards him as she began to pull him towards the bed "You know you can't walk around without the doctors permission!" "Would you calm down! I'm fine! There's no need for that!" Jotaro replied as he felt annoyed. "Calm down? CALL DOWN?! Why should I when an explosion appeared out of nowhere and injured you horribly!" "Because I'm not hurt anymore and you told me my injuries were healed instantly by this kid!" "Kid? You mean- AHHHHH!!!" Twilight saw the teenager she met days ago on the floor! "What did you do?!" "Hey, he attacked me first when we chat. He said something about me being younger when we first met. But I never seen this guy in my life. He then mentioned who his family is, what's his name. I didn't know, so that's why he attacked. Here's the results you see." "Wait, what? He knows you, but you don't know him? That doesn't make sense! And you understood him?" "He was speaking Japanese, in case you forgot, I'm from Japan too. So I could understand him better than you." "Hey, it's not my fault I couldn't understand! Plus...I never heard someone speaking Japanese before." Jotaro raised an eyebrow. "Really? Don't you watch anime?" "No...I mean I do! But not the Japanese versions." "*Sigh* That explains it. Next time, we're watching anime in Japanese. With subtitles of course for your sake." "We're watching anime? That sounds like a date if you ask me." Said Twilight as she gave a smug look as she tried to hide her blush. Jotaro blushed too, but he hid it well enough as he shook his head. "I'm not gonna respond to that one. But at least help out here to put the kid back on his bed, my hand is feeling sore." "Right." Twilight walked towards the mysterious teenager and began to help Jotaro lift him up. But then. "Huh? That's weird." "What?" "He has a birthmark." "What about it?" "Well, call me crazy, but it looks like a star." Jotaro froze. Did he hear that right? "Run by me that again." "I said he has a birthmark that looks like a star. why? Does it mean something? Do you know about it?" Jotaro moved next to Twilight to see it for himself. He looked at the unconscious teen's neck and saw it. The birthmark of the Joestar family. Only those of the Joestar bloodline have these marks on their necks! What the hell?! Does that make him... "Jojo, is something wrong? What's going on?" "...Yeah there's something wrong alright. And it seems this kid has a lot of explaining to do." "What does his birthmark mean? What do you know?" "Let's just say things are about to get bizarre. Get my phone, I need to call the old man. He has some explaining to do too. Turns out this kid is not just anyone, he's a Joestar. We're related." "What?!" To be continued… > Chapter 9 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Josuke slowly regains consciousness, except for the fact he had a headache. He went to grab his head, but couldn't. "Huh? Wha-" He looked down to see he was strapped to a bed! He couldn't move! "What the hell?!" "Didn't want it to be this way kid." Josuke looked to see Jotaro next him. "Crazy- *Urk*" Star Platinum immediately grabbed the kid's neck before he could summon his stand. "Enough! Listen to me, cooperate, and we don't have to fight! Because this is me being nice! Now, will you listen?" Having no choice since he's being choked, Josuke nodded. Star Platinum carefully let go of his neck as the teen began to breathe again. "Alright, where am I? Who are you really?" "My name is Jotaro Kujo, I'm not a fake. Where you are is the hospital. Specifically Canterlot Hospital." This caught Josuke's attention, Canterlot? Where's that? Doesn't sound familiar. "What's Canterlot? Is that in Japan?" A voice spoke out. "What did he say Jojo?" Josuke turned to his left to see a girl, the same one who was with Jotaro when he healed him. What's she doing here? "Uh, who is she?" "A friend of mine, relax, she's not a stand user." "Hello? Jojo! Don't keep me in the dark here!" The girl complained. At least that's what Josuke guessed. He didn't understand her. "He didn't say anything important, just wanted to know where he was." "Oh, well, who is he? Where did he come from?" "I'm getting to it." Jotaro replied as he looked back at Josuke and spoke in Japanese. "Sorry about that, she can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but she means well. Anyway I never got your name, you know mine, but I don't know you. So tell me why and how you know me? And who is Yoshikage?" Josuke was suspicious on why he should tell him about what he knows, but he has a feeling that this guy is Jotaro. But at the same time, it's not. Why is that? He is younger, that's a fact. But why? Unless…Holy shit! Did...Did Yoshikage's bomb send them back in time?! But instead of an hour, it's years?! Son of a bitch, how's that even possible?! This is not going to be easy to explain. He cleared his throat and said. "My name is Josuke Higashikata, I'm from Morioh, Japan. My friends and I were tracking down a stand user named Yoshikage Kira, a stand user, and monster who isn't human. He's a serial killer who killed countless lives, women's lives to be exact. The reason why is because of their hands. Whatever hands that catches his attention, he'll go after his victim, kill them, and take their hand. All because of his love for hands. *Tch* Bastard killed some good people that didn't deserve to die. What's worse is that we were so close to stopping him, he used his stand's power to escape. He succeeds, somewhat. He has the power to turn anything, ANYTHING, into a bomb! He also has the ability to turn back an hour of time, at least that's what I've heard from a kid who was with him." Jotaro was shocked to hear about this Yoshikage Kira person, a man who kills women for their hands! He felt sick in his stomach that this Yoshikage kills women and takes their hands. The hell kind of sick fetish is that?! Well...there are worse. But killing them for their hands is not right! And worse, he turns anything into a bomb and kills his victims! But even worse, he can turn back an hour of time?! Is that even possible? Just how strong is his stand?! "Jotaro, what's wrong? You look pale, is something wrong? What did he say?" Jotaro turned to see Twilight as he began to fear for her safety. But he didn't show it as he replied. "I'll tell you later, but we do have a problem. Get sunset on the phone and get her ass here now!" Seeing Jotaro being serious, she knew it was bad, very bad. But why bring Sunset? Perhaps she'll know something. Twilight nodded as she walked out of the room and began to call Sunset. Turning back to Josuke. "Alright, keep talking! How do you know me? I've never seen you before, but you mentioned me being older. So explain!" Josuke sighed, this isn't gonna be easy to explain. "Well...you're not gonna believe me but, I'm from the future."  "What?!" Did he just hear that right? Josuke is from the future?! Then that explains how he knows him, but how far is he from? And is he telling the truth? "Don't bullshit me kid! You're gonna need some proof to convince me! " "I'm not! If you want proof I'll tell you! But don't blame me for telling what happens to your future! Years from now, you finally achieved the job you wanted to do, becoming a marine biologist. You've been working hard to achieve it, and you did it. Satisfied yet?" Jotaro was stunned, he finally achieved his dream of becoming a marine biologist. That's...that's amazing! But he still wants to know more. Such as… "Alright...here's another one, do you know what's on the back of your neck?" "Huh? My neck? No, I don't know what's on it! Is it a spider?! Quick, get it off!" Josuke replied as he began to panic and squirm around the bed to get rid of the 'spider', but wasn't able to since being held down by the bed's straps didn't help. Jotaro shook his head as Josuke was embarrassing himself. He slapped the kid across the face and screamed. "There's no spider on your neck! Now answer the damn question! Do you know what's on your neck?!" "Ow! No, I don't! What are you talking about?! What the hell does it have to do with it?" "Because I want to know if we're related in any way! There aren't many people with the mark of the Joestar on their necks, and I'm sure as hell I don't have any other relatives with that mark besides my mother, and the old man! So talk!" "Mark of the Joestar? What are...Ok, look. I don't know what the hell that is, but, yes, we are related, but it's complicated." "Explain. NOW!" Josuke didn't think this younger version of Jotaro was so impatient! The hell made him grow from this, to a mature adult? If he's gonna get out of this and find Yoshikage, then he has no choice. "Alright, Alright! Look, believe it or not...I'm your uncle." Jotaro froze. Uncle? Did he say Uncle?! What the fu-UNCLE?! WHAT THE HELL?! How is this kid his uncle when in the future he's an adult?! Who the hell is his father? Or the mother? "You gotta be shitting me kid! How the hell are you my uncle at a young age when you told me I'm older in the future?! Tell me or knock your ass off that you won't be able to feel it for weeks!" "Again, you won't believe me if I told you. My father is someone you know already." "Don't go cryptic on me you son of a bitch! Just tell me!" "...Joseph Joestar is my father." "What?" Jotaro took a step back. Did...did Josuke just say that Joseph Joestar, his grandfather, an old man, got frisky with a young woman? God, that image is gonna burn in his head. Then that means he had an affair?! And Josuke is proof of that! Holy shit! "Grandma Suzi Q is not gonna like this…and my mother? How the hell is she gonna react to this?" "Sorry Jotaro, it's the truth. Bizarre, I know. None of us asked for this. But It is what it is." Jotaro took a seat as his mind was still processing on what he'd been told. What the hell is gonna happen now? He looked and said. "Your right, we can't do anything about it. But we can do something about this Yoshikage guy. If he has the ability to reverse an hour of time, then we're in deep shit. A normal stand user is bad enough, but a time controlling stand is even worse." "Then get me out of here and let's find him! The more we wait, that bastard might start killing innocent people." "Right." Jotaro replied as I began to release the straps on Josuke's bed. He then almost forgot to ask the important question. "By the way I want to know, what's the year from where you came from?" "1999. Hard to believe huh?" Jotaro went silent as he stopped undoing the straps. Josuke looked at his nephew with worry. "Jotaro? Are you ok? I know it's a big shock but-" "1999 was decades ago, the year is 20XX Josuke." "W-What…?" Josuke was shocked to hear what Jotaro said. This...this is not the past? "No...No! No! No! No! No! You're wrong! This has to be the past! Yoshikage turned back time!" "This is not the past Joskue, or the future. From what I can guess, even though I'm not a nerd, you're not from this timeline. You came from another reality...one similar to yours." Suddenly the room around Josuke became small, the walls started to close in. He couldn't breath.  "*Huff* *Huff* I can't...I can't breathe...I...I can't…" Jotaro grabbed Josuke's shoulders to calm him down. "Josuke, Josuke! Listen to me! You need to take deep breaths! Breathe!" Josuke tried to listen but his panic started to take over! His heart beat couldn't take the shock! His mind can't believe the words he heard! "*Huff* *Huff* J-J-Jotaro! I-I-I can't-can't-" "Shit! Twilight! TWILIGHT!!!" Running back into the room, Twilight screamed. "Jojo! What happened?!" "Call a doctor now! Josuke is panicking!" "How-" "There's no time! Get the doctor here now!" "O-Ok!" Twilight ran from the room and screamed for help. "Help! Help! We need a doctor!" Jotaro continued to attempt to calm Josuke down until help arrived. "Josuke listen to me! Just hold on! A doctor is coming!" "*Huff* *Huff* J-J-Jo-Jotaro...I-I-I-I can't-" Josuke's vision blacked out as he heard his name called out before he passed out. "JOSUKE!!!" … … … … … … … … … "He's stabilized, he just needs rest that's all." "Thanks doc., I'll let you know if he's awake." The doctor nodded as they left the room, leaving Jotaro and Twilight alone. "Good friggin grief, what a day." Complained Jotaro as he laid on his bed after hearing crazy things from Josuke. "I agree, a whole school day wasted while being in the hospital is not good for my grades…" Twilight replied while sitting on the bed next to his. "Calm down, the school ain't going nowhere." "Hmph, easy for you to say. Anyway, what happened back there? What caused him to panic like? What did you do?" "I told him the year." Jotaro casually replied. "The year? What does that have to do with anything?" "You won't believe me if I told you." "Try me." Said Twilight, crossing her arms. "Alright...however, you, being a woman of science, is gonna freak out." "I can take it, I've seen magic and stand powers in person. What can you tell me that'll freak me out?" Jotaro smiled as he knew she'd freak out if he told her. This gonna be interesting. To be continued... > Chapter 10 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The drive to the hospital was quiet and stressful for Sunset and her friends, due the fact that they heard the news of an explosion near Jotaro's house. It worried the girls as they knew their friend usually walks to school. When it was time for school to start, Jotaro didn't show up, even Twilight! That's when the panic began to settle in as they began to wonder if the two got caught in the incident. Then they received a call Twilight! She is alive! But then when she told her friends she and Jotaro were in the hospital, the six screamed at the phone as they asked her many questions such as, are you ok? Are you hurt? Do you have a metal spike in your head and lost an arm? Because we need a robot arm to replace your lost one! ... Ok that last one was from Pinkie Pie, but seriously, the girls did ask to see if both her and Jotaro were ok. She told them she was fine, just some minor scrapes and burns from the explosion. Jotaro however, was injured terribly, but was healed instantly by a mysterious teenager.  A mysterious teenager that healed Jotaros wounds? Could it be the use of magic? Sunset asked to see who this stranger was. Twilight described what had happened earlier this morning, from walking to School with Jotaro, to ending up in the hospital! Wait. Walking with Jotaro?! Hmmm... interesting. Anyway, when School ended for the day, Applejack drove the girls to visit the two and see how they were doing, and meet this mysterious teenager. Canterlot Hospital, later that day. After finally finding Twilight's room, the girls headed inside. "Twilight!" "Girls?" She replied. Without a second to prepare, her friends ran to her bed and hugged her tightly. It was nice for Sunset and the others to arrive, but their combined strength crushing her lungs is not. "G-Girls...it's...getting hard to...breathe…" "Sorry!" They replied as the group released Twilight from their grip. "What about me?" The girls turned to see Jotaro next them looking a bit upset that he didn't matter. "*Gasp* How could we forget about Jotaro! Don't worry, I'll hug you!" Shouted Pinkie Pie as she threw herself towards Jotaro to hug him, but was stopped by Star Platinum as it grabbed her head and held her in the air. "That won't be necessary Pinkie, a simple hello would do." "Okay!" She replied with a thumbs up as the stand placed her down and released its grip before it disappeared.  Sunset spoke up as she apologized. "Sorry Jotaro, we-" "Doesn't matter, you're here, and that's what matters. Now let's get to the point." "Right, so where's the person Twilight mentioned?" "He's across the room." She turned to see the teenage boy laying on the bed resting. "Alright, who is he? Any ideas where he came from? Is he related to the explosion?" "You won't believe what Jotaro tells you like he told me." Twilight said. "Trust me, it's quite a shock." "What do you mean?" "Well for starters, remember when I said Jotaro was caught in the explosion, and that teenager healed him instantly? Well, I think he's what you call a stand user." "What?!" Sunset was shocked to hear this, even the others. That teenager is a stand user?! "I can vouch for that." Added Jotaro. "His stand is strong, and the same type as mine." "Same type of stand? You mean his stand is just like Star Platinum? "That's right. A close range stand with power and speed. But what's different is our abilities. You all know I can stop time, his stand has the ability to heal any injury." "Heal any injury you say? Twilight did mention that earlier. Hmm...he could be useful if he were on our side, especially if any of us got hurt. Alright, anything else? Like a name?" "His name is Josuke Higashikata, he's from Japan, so he and you won't be able to understand each other. But I got it covered." "Got it. Anything else? Like who's responsible for the explosion?" Jotaro sighed, here comes the hard part. "I don't know the identity of the one who caused it, but thanks to that kids info, it turns out to be the work of another stand user." The girls, but Twilight were even more shocked! Another stand user?! How many more are there in this world? Where the heck are they coming from?! "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hold on a sec!" Rainbow Dash intervened. "You saying there's a stand user out there that can cause explosions?!" "Anything he touches becomes a bomb! He can donate it at any time! What's worse, he can reverse time an hour back!" "...Come again?" "Did...Did you say he can reverse time?!" Sunset said in shock.  "That's right." "Oh sweet Celestia…" "Horse apples!" Cursed Applejack. "Can this user be any more worse?" "Apparently it can, you see, he's a serial murderer who has a fetish for women's hands." "...Pardon me?" "You heard right. That bastard will murder any woman he sees with a hand that catches his interest." Hear about this murderer's disgusting interests, Rarity looked at her hands and couldn't imagine herself being a victim. She quickly hid them behind her back, and looked away as she quietly whistled. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy looked at each other as both gulped in fear. The party girl pulls out two pairs of gloves from her hair. She gives one pair to Fluttershy and wears the other on her hands. Applejack and Rainbow Dash looked at their hands to see they were a bit rough due to farm work and playing sports. They sighed in relief to know their chances of being a victim are low, but they wouldn't let their guard just yet. With that out of the way, Jotaro continued. "Anyway, that's just half of the story." "Oh sweet Celestia, there's more?!" Complained Sunset. "There's more. Now here's the kicker, they're both from an alternate timeline." Sunset went silent as her brain tried to function back to normal. After a moment of silence. "...Pardon my language girls, you gotta be shitting me!" "Does it look like I am?" "Jojo is right Sunset." Replied Twilight. "It sounds ridiculous, but I believe him! And I have a theory on how it's possible they're from an alternate timeline!" Sunset felt a headache coming, these stand powers can rival magic! To think there are many types of stands that can defy logic, perhaps reality itself! Before she could ask about her theory… "Ugh…J-Jotaro…?" "Hmm?" Looked across the room as he saw movement. Josuke's awake! Jotaro climbed out of bed, walked towards his…'uncle' and spoke in his language. "You're awake. How do you feel?" "*Sigh* 'Feel like shit...can't believe I had a panic attack." "Well, it's not everyday someone like you travels through an alternate reality and found out that it's not yours. So cut yourself some slack." "I guess…" Josuke sat up and saw some people behind Jotaro. It was a bunch of cute girls! Were they fangirls or something? His reality's Jotaro did mention one time that girls around his age were attracted to him for many reasons. Perhaps it was the same here? "Hey Jotaro, don't wanna be rude or anything but, who are those girls? Are they your fans or something?" "Thank God they're not. There are some friends I made along the way. Don't worry, they're friendly. And they are special." "Special? How special are we talking about?" "I'll explain it later, right now we need a doctor to check you out." He turned to the girls and said. "Can one of you girls call the doctor and tell them my roommate is awake?" "I'll go, I need to clear my head from all of this mess." Replied Sunset as she left the room to find a doctor. After a while, the doctor came into the room and checked on Josuke while Jotaro translated what the doctor was saying, there were no problems for the teenager as his examination went smoothly. "Well now, you seem to be all better! You gave us quite a scare there son." "The doc said your fine, Josuke," Jotaro translated. "You just gave them a scare that's all."  "*Phew* Glad to hear that. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about anything to slow me down!" "You're right about that, I'll be needing your help if we want to catch that crazy stand user." "The two of us won't be enough. Yoshikage is one tough bastard! We threw everything we had at him and he's still standing!" Jotaro groaned in frustration. How are they gonna find help?! If only the others were still alive then they might have a chance...The girls are not going to be much use since all they can do is see stands. Of course they can use magic, but they don't know how it works! "Wait, If I'm here...then that means...Jotaro!" "Huh?" "Quick! Ask him if there were other people caught in that explosion!" Jotaro wanted to know why Josuke asked if others were caught in the explosion, but seeing he was desperate, he asked the doctor. "Hey doc, were there any other people with us earlier that day?" "Other people? Why yes, they were. Why do you ask?" "My roommate here told me that he knows those people, is it possible to see them now?" "Hmm, well I suppose you could. However they are still recovering, so try not to do anything rash." "Good enough for us." Moments later… As Jotaro, Josuke, and Twilight were taken to another room by wheelchair, with Sunset and the others following them, they found the other people. But… "Koichi! Quick, I need more paper!" "B-But Rohan Sensei, that's your third pile! Shouldn't you rest already?" "Rest?! Nonsense! My creative juices are overflowing! Now quit complaining, and request for some more paper!" "Hey! Don't you order my Koichi like that! As his girlfriend, only I can do that!" "Y-Yukako! Don't say such a thing! I don't want the others to get the wrong idea!" "Hmm...What should I eat for lunch, beef or chicken? What do you think, Mr. Plant cat?" "Nyah…" "Hmmm, I see...Both it is!" Seeing how Josuke's friends are, the group gave their opinion. "Well...They look quite a bunch don't they?" "*Sigh* Never change Okuyasu, never change." "Good grief..." "Wow! So they're from the 90's in the other timeline? I figured they look more retro." "I wonder if they know about fashion in their world? I could use some ideas." "I have no clue on what they are saying! Do you?" "Nope. Not a thing!" "Is no one gonna talk about that weird cat plant thing?!" "Aw...it's so cute! I wonder what kind of breed it is?" "Well, it seems they are looking better than before. I'll leave you kids alone for a while until I come back." With that, the doctor left. Josuke wheeled himself forward and spoke. "Hey everyone, you all look like you've seen better days!" Turning to the voice, his friends were surprised to see who it was.  ""J-Josuke!" Said Okuyasu as he saw his best friend is alive! "Josuke! You're alright!" Koichi said as he climbed out of his bed and greeted him. "Thank goodness, I didn't think you'd make it!" "Hey, after all the mess we've been through across Morioh, it'll take a lot more than an explosion to take me down!" "Yes I'm sure something else will be trying to kill us, must you be so idiotic after our encounter with Yoshikage? Have you forgotten it took everything we had to fight him?" Complained Rohan. "Hey, come on! Don't be such a dick! We're alive and that's what matters!" "Hell yeah! We got the team back together again! And with Jotaro! But…" Okuyasu looked at the girls. "Who are those cute girls over there?" "Oh them? There with us! Well, with Jotaro actually." "With Jotaro you say?" Rohan looked at Jotaro as he looked different than usual. And the girls with him appear to be high school students. But why are they with him? Is Jotaro one of THOSE types of men who are interested in younger women? Doubt it. "Oh, they are with Jotaro? Are they stand users too?" Asked Koichi. "No clue," Replied Josuke. "But Jotaro did say they're 'special'. No clue on what that means." Yukako gave Jotaro a look of disgust. "Ugh, I bet they're his harem. Girls who see a handsome guy like him will be wanting to be his wife." Jotaro started to become pissed off from the girl's words of choice. He wanted to shout, but seeing how he didn't know any of these people and the possibility of being stand users, he calmly replied. "It's not like that. They're just friends of mine, that's all! Now, Josuke, care to explain to you your friends on what's going on?" "Right, but what about your friends? They don't understand us at all!" "Well I'm getting tired of being the translator here, so what choice do we have?" Rohan raised his hand. "I have an idea that can make them understand, or perhaps learn Japanese?" Jotaro gave the man a surprised look, while the girls looked confused by not understanding a single thing. "What do you mean to understand us Rohan Sensei? Are you saying we teach them Japanese? But that's impossible! Do you know how hard it is to teach them? Let alone being students!" "Oh Koichi, my dear boy. Do you forget how I was able to read people's thoughts, and force them to do anything against their will?" "*Gasp* Y-You don't mean-" "Hey! What's going on here? What is he talking about?" Said Jotaro as he wanted to know what this Rohan guy is saying! Rohan looked to Jotaro and said. "Why Jotaro, didn't you hear? I can read people's thoughts, and force them to do anything against their will. Do you know what that means?" "Wait are you saying you're-" "Heaven's Door!" Appearing behind Rohan was his stand, Heaven Door! Sunset and her friends saw this happening and were shocked! "What the?! He's a stand user!" Shouted Sunset. Rohan took notice as he was a bit surprised that one of the girls could see his stand. "Oh? It seems your friends can see my stand, are they users Jotaro?" "No they are not, and what the hell are you planning to do?!" "Relax Jotaro I won't hurt them, I said I will make them understand us. If you let me that is." "Jotaro it's ok! Rohan Sensei knows what he's doing! I think…" Josuke placed a hand on Jotaro and said. "It's ok Jotaro, you can trust him. But if he messes up, I'll kick his ass for you!" "How assuring. Now then, Jotaro, tell your friends to relax and I'll get to work. I'll explain once I'm finished." Jotaro clenched his fist as he doesn't trust this guy on what he's about to do, but seeing Josuke trust's him, and he'll beat the crap for him, he calmed down. He turned to the girls and said. "Girls, listen. This guy is gonna somehow make you understand Japanese, don't know how, but he has a plan to do so." "And how is he gonna do that?" Asked Twilight as she felt scared on seeing this kind of thing in front of her. Rohan answered for her. "Like this, Heaven's Door! Make them sleep!" Just like that, all seven girls fell onto the ground and passed out.  "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE!?" Screamed Jotaro as he summoned Star Platinum to attack. "Relax Jotaro, no need to panic." Calmly replied Rohan as he walked to the girls and brought out his pen. "Like I said I'll make them learn Japanese like this." Jotaro saw Rohan grab one of the girls faces and peeled off their skin to reveal...pages? "What hell? Is that the power of his stand?" Koichi explains what's happening while Rohan begins to write on the Sunset and the others' faces. "Rohan Sensei's stand, Heaven's Door, has the power to read people like a book, literally as you can see. He can see their information on what's written on them, such as memories, health, basically anything on them!" "Read them like a book and gain information? That actually sounds useful!" "Definitely!" Just as their conversation ended, Rohan stood up and said. "There we are! As much as I wanted to read their information, especially this Sunset girl, they can speak Japanese now." "Good, now I recommend you give the others the ability to learn English, because you aren't in Kansas anymore." "What do you mean?" Before He could reply. "Jotaro! Jotaro!" "Oh no…" Jotaro face palmed as he knew whose voice that was "Who is that?" Asked Josuke. "...Your sister." "My what?! You mean-" "Wait, sister?! Josuke has a sister?!" Koichi screamed in surprise. "He does?! Is she hot?" Okuyasu replied excitedly. "Jotaro!" "Dude! She's older than you! And that's my sister you're talking about!" Josuke angrily said looking at his best friend. How could he say that?! "Oh...is she still hot?" "Back off pal! She's a married woman!" Warned Jotaro. There's most that creep is gonna lay a hand on his mother! "Koichi how could you be friends with such a disgusting idiot?" Yukako said as she looked at Okuyasu in disgust. "He's not like that at all! Once you get to know him, he's not that bad!" "Jotaro!" "I don't know Kocihi, Okuyasu does have some screws loose in his head." Casually replied Rohan. "Hey!" The door opened and a voice screamed out! "JOTARO!!!" "SHUT UP!!! FOR THE LOVE GOD, CAN'T A KID GET SOME PEACE AND QUIET AROUND HERE?!" Everyone went silent as an unfamiliar voice spoke out. Who was it? "It-It wasn't me this time." Jotaro admitted as he wondered who stole his line. "Wait, I know that voice!" Said Josuke as he turned to see a familiar face. "It's you!" Sitting up on the bed was a young boy with ginger colored hair giving the group a very upset look. "Hayato Kawajiri!" "I-It's you! Josuke Higashikata!" "Holly! Where are you?!" "Christ, are you kidding me?! The old man is here too?!" Jotaro complained as he knew this was gonna be worse than he thought. "W-Wait, Mr. Joestar is here too?!" Josuke replied as he was about to meet his father! "Joseph please wait for me! I'm not as young as I used to be!" "G-Grandma Suzi Q is here too?!" ("Yup, things just got worse…") Coming up behind their daughter Joseph and Suzi Q appeared. "Holly don't run off like that! You made me and your mother worried! I know you care for Jotaro, but he can take care of himself!" "But he's still my child Papa!" Holly replied. "I worry about him everyday when he's not home, and please call me Seiko!" "Oh, for God's sake Holly, we're in America! There's no need for that name now!" Jotaro face palmed once more as this couldn't get any worse! "Move Damn it! We need to find my daughter!" "Twilight, sweetheart! We're here!" "Twily! Your BBFF is here!" "JOTARO KUJO!!! TWILIGHT BETTER BE OK OR ELSE I'LL END YOU!!!" "...Yare Yare Daze…" To be continued... > Chapter 11 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* Hearing the alarm, Josuke woke up from the noise and quickly turned it off. He sat up and saw the time. He had an hour before school starts, that's plenty of time to get ready! He grabbed his cell phone and searched for some music to play, such fascinating technology in this reality, he found the song that caught his interest and played it. *Play 1999, by Prince* Alright, now to get ready! Hopping out of his bed, Josuke heads to the bathroom to clean up. Looking at the mirror, Josuke's hair was a mess! Not too worried, the teen grabbed the necessary tools to fix it. As he began his work, Crazy Diamond appeared next to him, grabbed a toothbrush and a toothpaste as it began to brush his users teeth. A neat trick he learned from Jotaro, who knew stands could be used for sorts of things like this instead of fighting! Finishing up, his hair was now back into his signature look! Now it was time to get dressed! Moments later… After leaving his room, Josuke now wore a purple shirt and blue pants, with a pair of purple leather shoes. It may not be much but at least it's something casual since it's his first day of school! You heard right! Today he and his friends are going to Canterlot High! Heading down the kitchen, Josuke saw his friends, including Jotaro, grabbing a quick bite before they left. His sister, Holly, spotted him and said. "Oh! There you are, little brother! Took your sweet time didn't you?" Josuke mentally sighed as it was going to take some time getting used to the fact he has a sister now who's much older than him. It's bad enough that Jotaro is his nephew who's around his age now! What a weird family this is now. The teen shrugged and replied. "Hey, it's my first day of School. Gotta look good am I right?" "Well, no arguing there. Now come here and eat!" "Don't mind if I Do!" "You better do it fast, we gotta speak to the principle to let her in on the situation." Said Jotaro. "Is there a reason we need to? Don't you think it's dangerous that we bring other people who don't know about stands?" "She and the Vice principal know about stands and magic. They'll be fine as long as they can keep their distance." "Gosh, it's weird that magic exists too." Koichi said. "Tell me about it," Okuyasu added. "And it ain't that magician magic either. One time, I thought magic was real when my bro pulled a 100 yen coin behind my ear! I bashed my head against the wall so more can come out, boy did I learn my lesson that day." The whole group chuckled at the story, who else but Okuyasu! "Speaking of Magic," said Yukako. "Didn't Sunset mention that there's also an alternate dimension that leads to her home equestria? Full of ponies and other magical beings? Talk about crazy!" "Crazy indeed. " Replied Rohan. "To think that mythical creatures are real in another reality that's within this reality. All this talk about magic makes it sounds like we are in magna! But it does make a good source material for my ideas!" "You'll get your ass kicked if Sunset finds out you are doing." Hayato warned. "*Tch* You'll get yours beaten if you don't shut your trap!" "Alright, Alright, come on! It's too early to argue at this time! Now let's go, don't wanna be late." Interrupted Jotaro as he grabbed his belongings and headed for the door. But then... "Jotaro…" "Oh god no…" Holly ran next to him and said. "Don't forget your goodbye kiss!" "For the love of...I'm not a kid anymore damn it!"  Josuke and the others snicker at Jotaro as his mother still gives him kisses when he leaves for school. After the embarrassing scene with this mother, Jotaro exited the house embarrassed. Seeing it was time to leave Josuke said to his group. "Come on guys, let's go!" "*Ahem*" Holly Stood in front of Josuke, wonder what she needs? "Hmm? What's up Holly? Are we forgetting something?" "Yes, This. *Smooch*" "Gah! What the hell?!" Josuke screamed as he placed a hand on his cheek. His sister gave him a goodbye kiss too! "Holly that's not cool! I don't need a goodbye kiss! And I'm not your kid!" "But you're my little brother, so as your older sister it's my duty to look after you! Plus, you're living under my roof!" "Wha?!" "Hahaha! Oh man, she got you there Josuke!" said Okuyasu, seeing his best friend getting a goodbye kiss like a little kid was priceless! Especially if it's from his older sister! Holly turned to him and the others and said. "Oh please, he and Jotaro won't be the only one's getting a goodbye kiss too!" Okuyasu froze as he knew what she meant, the others did the same. "...I need an adult." "I am an adult!" *End music* A moment later. As Jotaro waited in the van, he saw Josuke and his pals coming out of the house looking embarrassed. He smiled as he knew what happened. As they entered the car, he said. "So, how was it?" "S-Shut up!" Okuyasu replied as he hugged himself as if he felt violated. "It was nice…"said Hayato while he slightly blushed. He never received a goodbye kiss from his own mother in a long time. "Just drive already!" Josuke shouted. Jotaro started the engine and drove off to school. While on the road, the morioh gang began to do their own thing, such as catching up on sleep, checking out their cell phone and admiring how awesome technology is in this reality, or just having a small chat. As for Josuke, he looked out the window and began to reflect on what happened the last few days after being released from the hospital, and what a time that was. Few days ago… As Twilight's parents came into the room and screamed out to know if their daughter was safe, they saw their daughter on the ground unconscious, thanks to Rohan. The two began to panic as they immediately blamed Jotaro for her condition. "KUJOOOOO!!!" Screamed Night Light as he got into Jotaro's face. "I KNEW YOU WERE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WHEN I HEARD ABOUT YOU! YOU'RE GONNA STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER YOU HEAR?! I DON'T EVEN WANT YOU NEAR HER!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" *Pow* Night Light fell backwards onto the ground, Jotaro just punched him! The man started to bleed from his lips as he looked at the teenager in shock. "Y-You…" "N-Night Light!" Screamed Twilight Velvet, she then looked at Jotaro. "How dare you-" "SHUT THE HELL UP! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE YOUR HUSBAND THEN STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!!" Velvet shut her mouth immediately as Jotaro screamed at her very loud. Who knew how angry this teenager can be if provoked enough! The woman stepped back and went to her husband to tend his injuries. Seeing his father down on the ground and his mother shouted at, Shining Armor wasn't having any of it! Nobody messes with his family! Even if it's his sister's friend! "KUJO!!!!" Screamed Twilight's brother as he ran towards Jotaro and grabbed his shirt angrily shouted. "You bastard! No one hurts my family and gets away with it! I don't care if you're a student, I'm kicking your ass!" Still annoyed or rather angry from Twilight parent's, Jotaro headbutted the Shining Armor, causing him to let go and suffer a bloody nose! "Ugh!" "Stay down if you know what's good for ya! Otherwise, get back up and I'll put you on the ground again! Everyone who witnessed the scene didn't do a thing. Of course Joseph and Holly could've intervened, but Twilight's parents harassed Jotaro first, so he had to defend himself somehow. With nearly everyone down, Cadence didn't back down! She rushed to Jotaro and screamed. "JOTARO!" Turning to the woman coming towards him, Jotaro grew even more annoyed, can't these people take a hint?! "Good grief, can't you just leave-" *Slap* Cadence raised her hand and slapped Jotaro across the face! This surprised him and everyone else in the room. No one moved a muscle as who knows what Jotaro will do now! Not caring what will happen next, Candace said to the teen. "Why didn't you protect Twilight?! I thought you cared! Now look at her! She's here in the hospital with you and on the ground unconscious, and you aren't doing anything! I trusted you to keep her safe! Well?! Explain yourself Jotaro!" Being slapped didn't help at all, Jotaro felt his anger rise even further! He wanted to lash out! But when she mentioned Twilight, and how he didn't protect her, Jotaro felt ashamed that he didn't warn her earlier. He couldn't help it! The power he felt from that stand user was...evil! Not close to Dio's but it did freeze him in place. He deeply sighed and replied. "I'm sorry, it all happened so quickly. I saw what appeared to be smoke and I knew something bad was gonna happen, but it was too late. Twilight got off easy, her injuries are minor, but I got the worst of it. As for why she's on the ground, you can thank the guy with the wavy hair." Jotaro pointed to Rohan to reveal it was him who put Twilight asleep on the ground. Along with her friends. The manga artist's waved hello. "Hello-" *Pow* Rohan fell to the ground as Cadence punched him, the man screamed. "Urk! What the hell are you-" *Kick* "Argh! Damn it will you-" *Kick* "Shut up!" Yelled Cadence. "I don't know what you are saying, but I'm still angry, and I want to take it out on someone because Twilight shouldn't be here! And since Jotaro told me you put her on the ground, I'll be kicking your ass!" Cadence began to kick Rohan as the manga artist screamed and begged her to stop! But the woman didn't stop as her 'punching/kicking bag' was a stress reliever.  "W-We gotta stop her! She'll kill Rohan!" Kochi shouted seeing his friend being pummeled repeatedly. "Relax" Josuke replied calmly. "I can fix him up in no time. So no worries." "But-" "You want to get caught between her and Rohan while she kicks his ass?" Koichi looked at the situation, the woman kept punching and kicking Rohan nonstop like a dog on the street. He really wanted to help, but seeing how really angry the woman is right now, it's best to stay out of it. "Good point. Sorry Rohan Sensei…" Present day… "Josuke, we're here." Snapping out of memory lane, Josuke looked out the window to see they had made it to the school. He and the others stepped out of the car and took a good look at the building. "So this is the place? Looks better than I thought." Rohan spoke. "But they seem to be obsessed with horses." "Well the school team are called Wondercolts, they gotta have a theme here." Replied Jotaro. "I see…" "Hey! Don't be ass Rohan!" Said Josuke. "At least they got a theme here! What do we have in Morioh? Nothing!" "*Tsk* No need to overreact Josuke, I was just putting in my opinion." "If you two are done arguing, we gotta go. Now!" Jotaro interrupted as he wanted to get this over with. Josuke and Rohan agreed they were done talking as the group headed inside. Moments later, Principal Celestia's office. After being informed of what had happened during Jotaro's absence, Celestia and Luna were shocked to hear what the young man had explained. "Let me get this straight Mr. Kujo," Celestia Spoke. "First off. I'm glad you and Twilight have recovered and now back with us. Second, the group next to you are from an alternate timeline from the year 1999 and there is a serial murderer, this Yoshikage Kira, has a thing for women's hands on the loose and is the reason why they are here in the first place." "That's right." "And what's even bizarre," Luna replied. "Is this young man, Josuke, who is around your age, happens to be your uncle as well?" "The product of a one night stand from my grandfather." "Hey! I'm standing right here you know!" "Calm down, it was a joke." "Hmph, dick!" "Alright, Alright! No need to start anything! Mr. Kujo, is there anything else that you can tell us?" said Celestia. "Yes, Josuke and his friends are all stand users like me. Even Yoshikage." "Oh god, first was the appearance of magic, and now we have stand users. Can't we have a normal school year?" Replied Celestia as he laid her head on her desk as she felt a headache coming. "Easy Celestia, no need to stress about it. Things such as this are beyond our control." Said Luna as she placed a hand on her sister's shoulder. "I know, I know. *Sigh*" Looking up from her desk Celestia said. "Alright, now how are we going to deal with this?" "For now we have no choice until Yoshikage. Makes a move. If he does, we'll take care of it." said Jotaro. "And what about Josuke and his friends?" "For now, they'll attend Canterlot High until we deal with Yoshikage. Don't worry about their background check, the speedwagon foundation took care of things." "Speedwagon foundation?" Jotaro pulled out a folder from his bag and handed it to Celestia. She took the folder and pulled out several papers, after some quick glances, the principal was impressed! This makes things easier. Who and whatever this speedwagon foundation is, they sure know what they are doing! "Well now, after seeing this information I'd say your friends are clear to attend! Welcome to Canterlot High!" "Thank you Principal Celestia." Josuke replied as he and his friends bowed in respect. "You are welcome. Now then, let's get your schedule started." To be continued... > Chapter 12 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cranky Doodle's class The students in the classroom waited for their teacher as he hadn't arrived yet, so they chatted amongst themselves to kill time or took up the opportunity to look over their notes. Jotaro and his friends spoke about what's been going on since then. "So, how's things been going on with you girls, anything interesting?" "Nothing really," Sunset replied. "Except the fact we met your uncle who happens to be from another timeline with his friends." "Along with a serial killer who has a fetish for women's hands, and on the loose somewhere in the city." Pinkie Pie happily added. "As well as finding out that Josuke is indeed Mr. Joestar's son and discovering there is a Josuke in this timeline as well." Said Twilight. "Hmm...yeah nothing new at all huh?" "Pretty much." Yeah, it was a hell of a time during his recovery a few days ago. After being discharged from the hospital, Jotaro explained what happened at the incident and who Josuke was. And the surprise that he has the mark of the Joestar on his neck. Including that the teen mentioned that he is the old man's legitimate son! To prove it, Joseph, and Josuke took a blood test and….well… *Flashback* "Mr. Joestar, the results are in!" Said a Speedwagon doctor holding a folder. "Excellent, Hand it over!" Before he could pass it on, Pinkie swiped the folder off his hands and said. "I'll take that!" "Ms. Pie, what are you-" Pinkie ignored the man as she opened the folder and said. "In the case of sixteen year old Josuke Higashikata, Mr. Joestar, YOU ARE THE FATHER!!!" "OH MY GOOOOOD!!!" Screamed Joseph as he ran away and found a nearby couch to cry on. Joseph's wife and daughter were shocked by the news of finding out that he cheated! Jotaro and Twilight didn't really care as both already knew when meeting Josuke. Their friends however were too shocked that an old man slept with a younger woman! This is just like one of their japanese hentai's! Oh god that image is burning into their brains!!! "Wait!" Shouted Joseph as he came back in the room and said. "If this Josuke is my son from another timeline, then is there a Josuke in this one?" The doctor pulled out another folder and was about to open it. Until… "*Ahem*" Pinkie Pie held out her hand. She wanted the folder. Sighing and shrugging his shoulders, the doctor handed over the folder to the teenager and opened it. After a moment of silence. "YOU STILL ARE THE FATHER MR. JOESTAR!!!" "OH GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!" Screamed Joseph once again as he ran out of the room. *End Flashback* After the shocking news that Joseph cheated on his wife, in both timelines, Suzi Q was furious! She tried to castrate him, but was stopped by the others before she could do any harm. Hoping one day he would meet his, er...step mom, despite being in another reality, Josuke was prepared to make an apology to Mrs. Joestar. He told her that he apologizes for any trouble he and his family had caused and he doesn't want anything from them. Hearing his apology, Suzi Q can tell he meant every word and really didn't want anything from her. Not even a cent. And seeing the situation he and his friends are in, she asked her daughter if they could stay with her Jotaro until this mess is resolved. It was the least she can do. Holly agreed as she wanted to help out the kids. Also she always wanted a sibling, so it's a good opportunity to get to know her younger brother. As for Joseph, he was punished for causing this mess. What was it? Sleeping on the couch without a pillow and a blanket for the rest of the year. Oh, and no dinner too. So he either has to buy food, or make his own. Poor man was heart broken, he loved his wife's cooking! Speaking of cooking… "Hey Jojo?" "Hmm? What is it Twilight?" "Um...well it's uh…*Sigh* this is gonna sound weird but, my parents invited you for dinner." Jotaro froze. Her parents invited him for what?! "Um...what's the occasion?" Twilight blushed as this part was embarrassing so say. "Well, they wanted to get to know you better since we're friends and all. To be honest, it sounds ridiculous! If you don't want to I can-" "I'll go." "Huh?" Did Twilight just hear that right? Is Jojo going to visit?! "I'll...I'll come over for dinner." Jotaro replied as his face slightly blushed. Man this is so wired. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around where the guy invites the girl? Twilight thoughts went wild as she kept a blank face. ("KYAAAAAAA!!!! J-JOJO IS COMING TO DINNER!!! Okay, calm down! No need to panic! It's just a normal dinner with a guest. BUT IT'S JOJO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE!!! I mean it's not we're together or anything. Right?)" "G-Great! I'll see you tonight?" "Sure thing." Jotaro has an idea why they invited him over. Might have to be the fact that he punched her father, screamed at her mother, and punched her brother back at the hospital. Oh boy... Their conversation didn't go unnoticed from their friends as Rarity said. "What's this?! Why Twilight, it sounds like you're asking Jotaro out!" "Urk! C-Come on Rarity! It's not like that! As I said my family wanted to get to know him more cause he's my friend! That's all!" She replied as she blushed even more! She's red as a tomato! "Then why are you acting nervous darling?" Rarity Teased. "It's just an invitation to dinner from your family. I mean it's not like you're the one who planned this. Am I right?" "Ok, that's enough Rarity. I think you're pushing it a bit much." Sunset interrupted as she pulled Rarity close and whispered. ("Come on Rarity, we're supposed to support Twilight, not torture her! So knock it off!") ("*Hmph* Fine, I suppose I took it a bit far.") ("Yes, you did.") Looking back at Twilight, Rarity said. "*Ahem* Sorry about that Twilight, I got carried away there for a moment! Hehehe!" Twilight didn't say a word as she just nodded. It was a relief that Rarity stopped playing around, but she hoped tonight will go smoothly as she still wanted to stay close to Jojo. She couldn't imagine if her parents forbid her to see or even be near him! Suddenly the door opened to reveal Mr. Doodle entering the classroom with several students. "Class, I'd like you to meet your new classmates. Josuke Higashikata, Okuyasu Nijimura, Koichi Hirose, and Yukako Yamagishi. Transfer students from Japan, please make them feel welcomed as they attend!" "Yes Mr. Doodle." The entire class replied. Jotaro looked at Josuke and his friends being introduced to his classmates. He wondered how they will fit in as CHS is pretty laid back. Unlike Crystal Prep, they would have to watch their back as the students over there would harass them for their own reasons. But with them being stand users they would be fine as long as they don't attract too much attention. As Josuke and his friends took their seats, the teacher began the lesson. Listening to their teacher's lesson in English was pretty weird for Josuke. He understood what was going on as he paid attention carefully, back then he and his classmates would struggle in their English class. It was embarrassing to speak it out loud when his old teacher asked a student to read out loud. Now thanks Rohan's Heaven's Door, it was a piece of cake! Now if only there was a stand that could increase their intelligence, that would be sweet! "Now then, would anyone like to solve the question on the board?" Mr.Doodle said to the students. However no one raised their hand. "Come on, no need to be shy. Anyone?" Again, no one raised their hand. Guess they had no choice. "Alrighty then, since no one wants to raise their hand I'll choose." The class stood still and hoped one of them didn't get chosen to answer. A second later. "How about you Mr. Nijimura? Care to solve the problem?" ("Holy shit!") Thought Jouske and the other's, they all knew Okuyasu isn't the smartest person amongst the group. God help him. "Wait. M-Me?!" Okuyasu replied in panic. "Yes, you. Now, please answer what's on the board." The poor teen looked at the board and began to think for the answer. ("OH GOD WHY?! HOW COULD THIS TEACHER CHOSE ME INSTEAD OF SOMEONE ELSE!!! OK, OK! THERE'S NO NEED TO PANIC! JUST DO YOUR BEST!") Okuyasu began to sweat as the pressure was too much! Come on, think damn it, think! Mr. Doodle was starting to be impatient as he said. "Mr. Nijimura, any time now!" ("*Psst* Okuyasu!") The teen looked over to Pinkie Pie as she held a piece of paper that said the answer. Sadly for him he didn't see it clearly as Mr. Doodle screamed. "MR. NIJIMURA!!!" "TWENTY-FOUR!" The entire class went silent as Okuyasu shouted the answer. Mr. Doodle frowned but was relieved as he could continue. "No young man twenty-four was not the answer. You know if you didn't know the answer, you could've just asked. However it was my mistake for letting you answer since you transferred. So I'll let it slide this time." "Yes, Mr. Doodle sir. Thank you." "Right, now then the correct answer on the board is-" "*Psst* Okuyasu!" "Huh?" Okuyasu turned to Pinkie again as she replied. "You ok? I thought you could see the answer. Sorry if my writhing was bad." "Nah, I was freaking out. I didn't have time to see it clearly." "Oh, ok. Well still, sorry about that." "Sure." Not a minute later Pinkie smiled and said. "Hey, Okuyasu." "Huh? What's up?" "I know a better answer than Twenty-four." "Oh?" Okuyasu said curiously. "What is it?" Pinkie giggled as she said. "Twenty-five!" Suddenly Okuyasu began to wheeze as the girl's joke was somehow funny! Why was it funny?! Didn't matter, he needed a laugh from that embarrassment earlier! But then he had an idea. "Nice one! But I got a better one." "Oh? Do tell." "*Snicker* Twenty seven." Pinkie too began to wheeze as that was funny! Looks like she found a new friend! With Mr. Doodle, he knew what was going on. But he tried not to pay attention as continued the lesson. ("Oh god, please let me get through today without losing more of my hair…") With Rohan. "Here we are Mr. Kishibe, your classroom where you'll be teaching." Said Principle Luna as she escorted him to his new job. Rohan couldn't believe this, why did he have to become a teacher instead of a manga artist? His skills shouldn't be wasted om teaching amateur children! It's an insult! But then again, if he did become a manga artist in this reality, then he'll be stealing from this world's Rohan. Now that wouldn't be good at all. So becoming a teacher will have to do for the time being. Ugh… "Thank you Vice principle, now are you sure I'm qualified for being an art teacher? I mean what happened to the previous one?" "Let us just say he wanted to follow his dreams on being a comedian or something. Honestly good riddance, he was prankster and chaotic. It's like he was chaos incarnate! Also he wore different types of clothing too! Like different set of socks, shirt and pants, you name it!" "Hmm...sounds like he's a god of chaos if you ask me." "That's one way of putting it. Now then, shall we introduce you?" Rohan sighed as he really didn't want to do this. But what choice did he have?" "Very well." Entering the room, Luna spoke out loud to get the students attenion. "Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to your new art teacher, Mr. Kishibe. I hope you get to know him and like him better that our last one. Now, please show some respect and learn what you love to do. Mr. Kishibe you can take from now." Seeing the woman leave the room, Rohan looked at his...students. Yuck, that's a disgusting taste that left his mouth. "Hello...children. Since I'm your new art teacher and it's my first day, how about we take it easy for today? Hmm?" The students shrugged as they didnt care or mind for an easy day. At least they can have it easy this morning. "Good. Now then, let's take this time to get to know each other. As you know my name, I'd rather be called something different than Mr. Kishibe. It sounds too formal. So you may call me Rohan, Rohan sensei, doesn't matter as long it has a title that fits me. So, any questions?" No student raised their hand. Rohan knew this was going to be a long day. It's only the first period! Eventually, one raised their hand. "Alright then, you. What's your question?" "Why do you want to be called sensei? You from Japan or something?" "Actually I am. And yes I speak Japanese." Suddenly one by one raised their hands. Wow, that's something. He picked a random student and said. "You. What's your question?" "Why did you become a teacher here instead over there?" "My reasons being a teacher here are personal. So let's leave it at that. Next question?" Rohan couldn't tell them where, or rather 'when' he came from. They might think he's crazy or something. "Are you a manga artist?" Rohan smiled at that. Finally! Something he can answer. "Why yes I am!" Everyone began to take an interest toward their new art teacher.  One by one, all the students asked their questions about his background, what works he had made. And of course, did he make any manga? Rohan was beginning to like this class, maybe this was a good idea. But then. "EEK! Mr. Rohan! Watch out there's a spider next to you!" Using his quick reflexes, Rohan grabbed his foundation pen and stabbed the spider that was hanging next to him. Seeing his awesome skills against the spider the class clapped their hands. "That was amazing Mr. Rohan!" "Check it out everyone! We got a badass teacher here!" "Cool! Do another trick!" Rohan bowed at the class. "Thank you, thank you! Please you're too kind." "Mr. Rohan sir, can you please throw away the spider? It's kinda gross." "Of course!" Rohan replied. "But why waste and opportunity to show you children an example of how I do my research on my manga?" "That spider is an example? How?" Rohan smiled. "I'll show you. First I need to dissect the spider…" "Wait, what?" Using his foundation pen's sharp tip, he sliced the spider open and began to work. And that's how the art students were grossed out and amazed by their new art teacher. Why did he have to lick the spider…? Cheerilee's class "Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to your new classmate, Hayato Kawajiri. He's a transfer from japan, so please treat him with respect." "Yes, Ms Cheerlie." Hayato was nervous meeting his new classmates. It was very different compared to japan. Heck, he even understands them thanks to that manga artist guy. "U-Um h-hello everyone, n-nice to meet you." Bowed Hayato as he showed some respect to his new peers. Most of the students looked amazed at Hayato's politeness towards them, even the fact he bowed. One of them however… "Why are you even doing that? Is that supposed to mean something?" "Huh?" Hayato looked up to see a girl wearing a Tiara on her head. "Well, it's a sign of greetings and respect. It's how we do it back in japan." "Hayato is right Diamond Tiara, everyone around has a different way of greeting." Said Cheerilee. "It's interesting to meet someone from another country and learn some of their culture." "Whatever." The young girl said as she huffed and crossed her arms. Hayato had a feeling that girl, Diamond Tiara, is going to be nothing but trouble. It's best to stay away from her if he's gonna get home when this mess is over. Who knows what she can do. After being assigned a seat Hayato, looked at the girl once again to her looking at him with an annoyed look. Why is she like that? He got his answer when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see a girl with a bow on her head and said. "Don't worry about Diamond Tiara, she's always like that." "Yeah, she's just a spoiled brat who bullies people." Said a girl with light pink and purple hair. "Stick with us, and you'll be fine!" Added a girl with purple hair. "Um… thanks. I guess? Who are you girls?" "Name's Apple Bloom! These two here are my friends, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo! Together, we are called-" "Girls," Cheerilee said with a warning tone as she was in the middle of her lesson. "If you're going to introduce yourselves to the new student, please do it quietly." "Yes Ms. Cheerilee." The girls replied and calmly, but disappointedly said. "The Cutie Mark Crusaders." Hayato smiled, guess he made some friends on the first day of school. Maybe this place isn't that bad as he thought. If only his mom was here, then maybe things would be better.  Even better if Yoshikage wasn't still around… Sooner or later, he has to show up! To be continued... > Chapter 13 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jotaro's House, Evening After coming back home from school, Jotaro and the gang were now able to relax for the rest of the day. Greeting them at the door, Holly welcomed the group and asked how their first day of School. Most of them told her it was fine and different than their previous one, it was pretty relaxing. Hearing their day went great Holly smiled and said. "Alright then, everyone get cleaned up!  Dinner will be ready soon!" "Actually mom, I won't be joining you tonight, I got somewhere else to be." Jotaro replied. "Huh?" Holly was taken back a bit. She knew Jotaro never missed dinner! Why? Wait. Does that mean…he's hanging out with trouble makers?! Holly then wrapped her arms around her son and screamed. "NO! I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE!" "What the-" Jotaro was surprised that his mother was hugging him. She didn't even let go! What the hell is her problem?! "D-Damn it! Let go of me!" "I SAID NO! I DON'T WANT MY SON TO MISS DINNER AND HANG OUT WITH A BUNCH OF TROUBLE MAKERS! I'VE HEARD OF SUCH THINGS THAT IF THEIR CHILDREN DOESN'T WANT HAVE DINNER WITH THEIR FAMILY, IT'S A SIGN OF REBELLION!" "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU STUPID BITCH?! GET OFF OF ME!" Seeing Jotaro struggling to escape from his mom and her trying to keep him away from leaving, Josuke and the others keep looking as they were entertained. Sure they could've done something but why ruin it? It was hilarious! Their Jotaro was always so serious and looked like he never had any fun. This one however was around their age, and expressed other emotions. Basically this Jotaro was fun to hang around! Having enough of her stupidity, Jotaro began to explain. "DAMN IT! LET ME EXPLAIN WHY I CAN'T HAVE DINNER TONIGHT!" "Okay!" And with that, Holly released Jotaro. Well, that was easy. Now free from his mother's monstrous grip, Jotaro began to explain. "Look, the reason why I can't have dinner tonight, it's because Twilight invited me over to have dinner with her parents at their place. Mostly to get to know me since we're friends, that's all." Silence filled the room. Holly began to replay what her son said. His friend Twilight, invited him to dinner at her house? Does that mean... "Whaaaaat?! My Jotaro has a date?!" "EH?!" Gasped Josuke and his friends. Oh yeah, this Jotaro is 100% better than their Jotaro! Jotaro however was annoyed that his mother misheard him. "It's not a date! She just-" Holly warped her arms around Jotaro once again, only this time it's out of happiness. "Oh my baby boy is growing up so fast he's going out with a girl!" "Jotaro you lucky bastard!" Josuke said as he patted his nephew's back. As an uncle he felt so proud of him! One by one everyone congratulated Jotaro and wished him good luck on his date. Poor guy kept telling them it's not a date, but they didn't listen. "Good friggin grief…" Twilight's House, later that day Looking at herself in the Mirror, Twilight made sure she is dressed properly for tonight as she wanted to make a good impression for her parents and of course, for Jojo. She checked every single inch of herself to see if anything was in order. Hair Clean? Check. Perfume sprayed on? Check. Breath smells good? Check. Wearing her best underwear? Check. Oh yeah! *Knock* *Knock* "Twilight? Can I come in?" "Oh,sure!" The door opened to reveal Cadance, she took a look at the young girl and said. "Well look at you, trying to get Jotaro to notice you?" Twilight blushed but slightly smiled. Cadance knows her stuff. "Is it that obvious?" "Come on, I was your age once! I remember when your brother invited me to your parents it made me nervous!  So I dressed up nicely to make a good first impression for your parents, you should've seen Shining, he couldn't stop staring at me!" "D-Do you think Jotaro will do the same?" Asked Twilight. "I-I mean I wouldn't mind! But I don't want to give off the wrong impression! I want him to see me as the way I am, not just some girl who wants his attention!" "Not a lot of boys out there are like that. Most of them only see what girls are 'packing', and don't want to get to know them personally." "Maybe, but I think Jotaro is different." "Then we'll just have to find out. And hey, I'll be rooting for you." "Thanks Cadance. Twilight replied. "Sure thing. Come on, let's head down stairs and get a peak at dinner. You know your mom makes good grub!" Later… Pulling up to Twilight's driveway, Jotaro took a moment to think before he exited the car. ("Good grief, why am I doing this? I could've said no to her this morning but I didn't! Why? Guess I'm starting to get soft ever since moving here. I need to keep my guard up! Especially right now since I'm about to meet Twilight's family. Damn it, why do I feel nervous?! This isn't like me! What changed? Has something to do with Twilight, ever since becoming friends with her. Let's see...Sunset mention about the magic of friendship. Could that be the cause of it?") He then remembered Sunset's words after the Friendship games incident. "From what I can remember during my studies from my world's Celestia, it just sort of happens! I guess when a bond is formed when two or more people confess, agree, or whatever it may be, friendship brings them closer." ("Could it be because we formed a bond? But we just became friends a week ago! Yet it feels more than that…whatever. Let's just get this over with!") Exiting out of the car walking towards the door, Jotaro hesitated to raise his hand. Come on damn it, all he had to do was knock on the damn door! They're just friends! Nothing more! He finally raised his hand and knocked. *Knock* *Knock* *Thump* *Thump* *Thump* *Thump*  His heart began to beat hard. Jotaro took deep breaths to calm down. He then heard some noises inside. "Someone's at the door." "I'll get it!" "No, wait! I'll get it!" "Wha-" The door opened quickly to reveal Twilight. "J-Jojo! You made it! What a relief!" "Uh, yeah. I'm here. Sorry to keep you waiting." "N-No no no! It's alright! It gave us some time to get ready anyway! Hehehe…" "Right." He took a good look at Twilight. She looked prepared for tonight. Her hair was tidy,  and she smelled nice. "You look...great." "R-Really?" Twilight replied. Her inner thoughts screamed. ("HECK YEAH! THAT'S A COMPLAMENT RIGHT THERE!!!") "O-Of course you do! It would be rude if I didn't mention it. Right?" "Y-Yeah, I guess it would." Twilight looked down as she hid her blush. Jotaro looked away as he hid his blush too. This was starting awkward, however, they couldn't explain it but, it was nice to be around their presence.  Suddenly. "Twilight would you please let our guest inside the house?" Asked her mother. Snapping out her thoughts, Twilight shook her head and replied. "R-Right! C-Come on in Jojo!" "*Ahem* Thanks." Entering the house, Jotaro saw Twilight's Parents, her brother, and Cadance. Everyone but Shining's girlfriend gave him a welcomed look. Guess they're still upset from hitting and screaming at them. "Kujo…" said Night Light, still giving Jotaro an angry look. "Mr. Sparkle." Jotaro greeted, not bothered by the man's expression. "So glad you could join us young man." Velvet said, like her husband's, she didn't like him as well. "And I thank you for inviting me to your home." "Maybe you could invite us to your home next time?" Shining Armor added as he wanted to get this over with. "I'll ask my mother, she loves company." "Come on now, no need to be rude everyone!" Said Cadance as she hoped tonight didn't end in violence like the last time they met. "Let's eat shall we? Dinner is getting cold." "Very well, let's take a seat." Said Night Light as he, his wife and son, except Cadance and Twilight, just walked away without escorting Jotaro to the table. The woman just signed as she walked away as she felt embarrassed from her future in-laws attitude. Leaving Jotaro and Twilight by themselves. "They seem nice." "They sure are…I'll show you to the table." A quick trip to the dining room, Twilight's family were already seated. The air around the table was tense, an argument could break out at any time! Twilight took her seat, as Jotaro was about to sit down...  "Kujo, how about you take a seat right on that chair right there?" Night Light said while pointing. Jotaro stood still as he knew where this was going. Yup. They had planned something for him. Good grief…looks like he has to play along if he wants to survive the night. Taking his assigned seat... *Pfff* A fart sound was made. Shining Armor hid his snickering while Jotaro pulled out a whoopee cushion hidden on the seat. "Whoops! How did that get there?" Jotaro clenched his teeth as he fell for the classic joke. They really wanted him to get angry in hopes of banning him from being with Twilight. "Don't worry, at least it broke the silence around here." Shining Armor was a bit impressed. Jotaro played it off nicely with a joke. But it's not over yet! "Alright then, now that everyone is here let's dig in." Said Velvet. With that everyone began to eat. Jotaro looked at the food, it was a simple dinner. On the plate had pork chops, the sides were mashed potatoes and some corn. It looked delicious! Jotaro took a fork and a knife to cut a piece of the meat and placed it in his mouth. Then… "Urk!" Jotaro began to cough, the pork chops flavor wasn't as he expected, despite being prepared. The meat had salt, too much salt! Seeing his reaction, Velvet smiled. The young man fell for it! Acting concerned she said. " Are you Ok Jotaro? Is the food alright?" "Jojo! Is everything ok?!" Said Twilight. "I-I'm fine." Jotaro said as he forced himself to swallow the food. "Just didn't expect the flavor of the meat to be quite delicious. Thank you for the meal Mrs. Sparkle." Damn! This brat is good. Velvet frowned at the teenager as she didn't get the reaction she hoped. Putting that much salt would've made anyone complain! She started to have some respect for the boy for keeping calm. "Here Kujo, drink some water." Said Night Light as he passed a cup of water to Jotaro. Taking a large gulp, hoping to get rid of the salt, his throat began to burn! Jotaro gagged within the cup as he knew what it was. Vodka. Son of bitch poured a whole glass of it! "JOJO!" Screamed Twilight as she was now concerned for him. Jotaro quickly held up his hand and said. "I'm... I'm ok, water just went down the wrong hole." Night Light clenched his fist. This kid is really starting to get on his nerves. Why can't he get upset and leave already! But he did have to admit, he took that vodka like a man. Dinner went on as time passed by slowly, poor Jotaro had to eat carefully as he tried not to make a wrong move or say anything negative. He had to do his best to try and act normal. He mixed the pork chops with the mashed potatoes to cover the saltiness of the meat. It helped quite a bit. Wanting to get to know more about him, Night Light spoke. "So Kujo, Twilight mentioned you were from Japan. Tell me, how's your stay here in America? It must be very different since moving here." "It's not bad actually, the scenery is different but at least it's my home now." "Glad to hear you are fitting in. But I'm sure trying to speak and understand english must have been challenging." "It was, but thanks to my grandfather he helped out when he visited." "Oh?" This caught Velvet's attention. "Does your grandfather travel?" "Not really, the only reason I was able to learn English is because he's British." "He is?" Ok this boy has caught her interest. "That's amazing! Anything else you can tell us about your family?" Sensing he caught their attention for his family's background history, he decided to share some of it. "Well, my grandmother is Italian. So that would make my mother half British, and half Italian." Cadance never knew about Jotaro's family history! It was interesting to hear about it. "And your father?" She asked "Japanese of course." "So that would make you, part British, part Italian,and part Japanese. That's incredible! Imagine if you and Twilight got together and had a kid! That would make them part British, part Italian, part Japanese and part American! That kid would have a bizarre lineage!" Both Jotaro and Twilight froze as Cadance mentioned if they had a child together. Both began to blush as the thought of having a kid together was embarrassing! But it did leave quite an imagination in their minds. Oh boy when did it get hot? Night Light and Velvet began to daydream if their daughter did have a child with Jotaro. They would look adorable! What would they look like? Would they have their looks? Their eye color? Not only that, they would be a true Multi- cultural person! Oh they were starting to look forward to it! Curious about Jotaro even more, Shining Armor said. "What about their profession? They gotta have an interesting career!" "My grandfather works in real estate, my grandmother used to be an assistant for this one woman years ago. Never knew what for. As for my parents, my mother, I really don't know what she used to do. But she's been a housewife since I was a kid. My father is a famous Japanese musician. However I rarely, and I do mean rarely, ever get to see him since he travels a lot." "Hmm...must've been tough growing up without him huh?" "Not really, it never bothered me at all. I think I grew up fine without him. Not that I have anything against him." "I see…" Seeing it time to move on, Velvet then said. "Alright, I think that's quite enough. How about some dessert?" Everyone around the table agreed that something sweet is a good way to end the night. Velvet brought out the dessert, it was a simple cake. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. Cutting the first slice, Velvet gave it to Jotaro. "Here Jotaro, you can have the first slice." Jotaro smiled. Looks they trust him now, guess being calm paid off. He took the cake and… ("You gotta be shitting me…") The cake was normal on the outside. The inside however, it was filled with something brown and it was greasy. It looked like dog food! What the hell?! Velvet looked at the teenager with an innocent smile. If he could take a bite of this and swallow it, then he'll be considered a good friend of the family! Maybe as a future son in-law if he and Twilight got together! Finally having enough Twilight intervene and said. "Ok, I think that's enough! Come on Jojo, I think it's time for you to head back home. It's a school night after all!" She grabbed Jotaro by the arm and dragged him away. He didn't get to say anything as he was quickly taken away from the dining room. He honestly felt very relieved that he didn't have to go through with this crap any longer! Seeing this Night Light said. "Hey! Don't-" *Slam* Cadance slammed her hand on the table hard enough to get everyone's attention, and she had a calm face, yet angry aura. "I think that's enough from everyone. Twilight, go ahead and take Jotaro with you. I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about!" Seeing it was their chance to leave booth teens left their sight and closed the front door. Cadance looked at her boyfriend and his family as she gave them a really upset look. "What the hell is wrong you three?! Are you trying to kill him?!" "N-No! Just trying to-" "Break them apart just because of what he did back at the hospital? You all attacked him without asking what happened to Twilight!" "Th-Thats true but-" "What you did tonight was unbelievable! You are incredibly lucky Jotaro survived and wasn't hospitalized, again, from your actions! I swear I would break up with Shining Armor and report you all to the police!" The three of them began to panic, but mostly Shining as he really didn't want to lose his relationship because of some pranks that were...somewhat harmless. "C-Come on Candace, we were just trying to look out for Twilight! I read his file when he was attending Crystal Prep, he was a troublemaker in his old school! You had to at least be concerned for her! Someone like him shouldn't be around Twilight!" "I saw someone who was trying his best to keep his relationship Twilight intact without trying to act violent or anything! He did his best to not offend anyone in this table! I swear, I feel like the only grown up in this family!" Now that made the rest of the adults felt ashamed as they really did act like children for the pranks against Jotaro. But you have to admit. That kid played them off really well! "We're sorry." They replied. Cadance knew they meant well, but still it was not right. So she forgave them. "Alright. Apology accepted." They smiled. That was easy! "But!" They frowned. That's not good! "Not without punishment! You see that cake you were about to give Jotaro? Eat it. Then we can forget this ever happened!" Ah crap… With Jotaro and Twilight. Standing outside at the front door, both teen sighed as it was peaceful outside. And quiet too! They looked at each other and said. "Jojo I-/Twilight I-" Ok that was odd. Lets try that again. "I'm Sorry that-/About what ha-" Again? Alright, Third times a charm? ".../…" They didn't say a word that time. Jotaro then motioned his hand to Twilight so she could speak first. "*Ahem* Well! That was...quite an interesting family dinner!" "Indeed. I think I broke the Ice between me and your family. Looks like we'll get along just fine." "Seems like it. Honestly, you handled it pretty well." "Sure did. 'Didn't think I would hold it together, but somehow I did." "And I am so sorry for what has happened! If I had known what they would do, I would've warned you!" "Don't worry about it. I'm sure you had no idea from the start." "Y-Yeah…" They didn't say a word for a moment as both looked away from each other. What else was there to say? Jotaro and Twilight knew dinner was almost a mess! But at least they could continue to see each other! That counts for something! Knowing it was getting late, Jotaro said. "Well, time for me to head home, I'd like to stay and talk some more, but it is a school night, gotta get some rest." "Yeah, same here. See you tomorrow?" "Always." Jotato tipped his hat and walked to his car. Seeing her one last time for the night he told her. "Next time, dinner at my place."  "Definitely!" Twilight replied. Jojo's quite the charmer! Seeing Jojo drive away, Twilight felt a bit lonely. She really enjoyed his company. Of course she has her family right now, but it's nothing compared to how she feels about him. Why didn't she tell him? He was right there in front of her, and now he's gone! Well... there's always next time. She just hoped she could confess to him at the right moment. But then again there are other opportunities she could try again! Unless something gets in the way. That won't happen. Right? Elsewhere. In a bathroom, a man was looking into a mirror, seeing his reflection. He turned his head side to side to get a better view of his face. "Hmm...seems It's time to get rid of this facial hair…" He grabbed the necessary tools nearby to shave. Shaving cream, and a razor. Simple enough. He applied the cream on his face and made sure he got all the hair covered. With that done, it was time for the shave. He grabbed the razor and began to work. ... ... … And done! No bumps and cuts! Now then, to turn in for the night! *Knock* Knock* "Hmm?" The man opened the door to reveal a woman. "Yes?" "Filthy? Is everything ok?" "Oh! Hello Spoiled, yes everything is fine. No need to worry. I am fine." "I know but...you shouldn't push yourself too hard! After that car accident, I've been worried sick! Even Diamond! You've been quiet and ignoring us since you were released from the hospital! Please, tell me what's-" Filthy interrupted his wife by hugging her and said. "Shhhh, It's all right. There's no need to worry, I've just been thinking alot. That's all! The accident got me shaken up and my thoughts were about what will happen to you and our daughter if I were gone! But it didn't happen, and I'm here. So for your sake, and for this family, don't worry." "Filthy…" Spoiled hugged her husband back, he was right. He's alive and here. There was no need to worry. "I'm sorry." Unknown to them, or rather...her, a humanoid figure was next to them. Filthy looked in the mirror and smiled. "I forgive you." To be continued... > Chapter 14 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Click* 'Filthy' Easily woke up from his sleep. He looked to see his 'wife' still asleep and not moved a muscle. Looking at the time, it is seven. An hour before to get ready for work.  Carefully getting out of bed, 'Filthy' headed to the restroom to get cleaned up. Afterwards, He looked into the mirror to see his face, and saw nothing out of the ordinary. Except his reflection wasn't his. It never was. This…This was the second time he had to get a new look. Literally. Why must fate treat him like this? All he ever wanted was to have a quiet life. But thanks to those brats, it was ruined! Now he may never return to his normal routine! He is now called Filthy Rich, formally Kosaku Kawajiri, and used to be named...Yoshikage Kira. Hmph. That name feels alien to him now after changing it. But at least with a new third identity, he could now somewhat have a...slightly quiet life. This new face, taken from its original owner, is a rich businessman with a family that barely cares for each other and only cares about money. How greedy these people are. It sickens him! Oh how he wanted to end them already. But he needs them if he wants to survive in this new world he now lives. How is it possible that Killer Queen's 'Bites the dust' caused him to be thrown into a new reality similar to his? Could it be that after using it on Hayato so much it ripped through time and space? Science wasn't his strong interest. But it was a theory. His only one. Doesn't matter now. It was time to get to work. After getting ready, he walked to the kitchen to grab something to eat. He found one of his maids making something on the stove. One of the few positives in this new life that the former Filthy Rich, was, well, Rich, he had servants to do everything for him. Made him feel like a king. "Oh! Good morning Mr. Rich! You look well after that accident! I'm happy to see you fully recovered!" The maid said. "Yes...thank you for your concern, after all, who will sign your checks. You do need the money after all." "*Sigh* Ain't that the truth sir. Nothing in this world is for free. It's cruel out there." "I've noticed. If that is all, I would like to eat something. I do not wish to be late." "Yes, of course sir! I'll have it ready in a moment." The maid replied as she returned to cooking. Taking a seat, Yoshikage read this morning newspaper as he waited. Suddenly a voice was heard. "Daddy!" "Hmm…" Ah yes. His 'second' child. Diamond was it? What a brat that one is. Always asking him to buy this, buy that, for her. At least she isn't spying on him like his 'first' child. "Yes Diamond? Can I help you?" "Glad to see you back to normal! Mom was really worried about you!" "Your mother worries too much. But don't you worry, I won't be going anywhere." "Good. Anyway, Silver Spoon, got a new phone she got for her birthday! I want a new one!" "What is wrong with yours?" "It doesn't have the feature like Silver Spoon, That's why! So can you please buy me one!" Yoshikage was never the type of person to want a family. He was more of a...handy person. This was the perfect example. Children beg their parents for things they want, only to throw them away later. Such a waste. If he wanted to keep up his disguise, he had to play along. "Well, if it makes you happy my dear then we'll get you one." "Yay! Thanks daddy!" Diamond happily replied. "However you'll have to wait. I need to get to work and you have school. We'll go this weekend." "Aw...fine." That shut her up. He was playing his role very well! Guess the previous was Filthy Rich similar to him. That makes things easier! As long as he continues this act, he'll survive better than his previous life. Speaking of previous life, taking the life of Filthy Rich and taking his place wasn't easy as the last time. He needed that woman to swap his face with the real Kosaku Kawajiri, now that she's not here it made things difficult. But he was able to pull it off. He still remembered how it happened… One week ago… After escaping from Josuke and his allies, Yoshikage found himself in unknown territory. He knew this wasn't Japan, everyone spoke English, and everything around him was very different! Just as the people were dressed differently, they carried small thin devices and tapping on them. Not only that, the technology was a bit advanced! Was he in the future? Or another timeline? Bites the dust was able to send him an hour back in time, but travel to another time was impossible! Is it? Well, at least he was able to understand english. He is smart, always has been. He kept his intelligence hidden from many people to make them think he was an average person. After all, he preferred to have a quiet life. Speaking of life, he has to hide from Josuke and his friends again if he wants to stay alive. It seems like it's time for another life swap. But it's not going to be simple as last time, that woman with the stand that changes appearance isn't around obviously, he'll need to think of something else... Suddenly he was shoved aside, Yoshikage fell on the ground. He looked to see who was responsible. It was a man wearing a fancy suit, he appeared to be a wealthy person.  The man looked at Yoshikage in annoyance and said. "*Tch* Watch where you're going you idiot! You've nearly ruined my suit! It's a miracle it didn't tear, consider yourself lucky! It's expensive you know!" Seeing the man walk away, Yoshikage too felt annoyed as the man's attitude was rude and looked down on him like trash. Normally this wouldn't bother him, but after the clash with Josuke and finding himself in an unknown timeline, Yoshikage was not in the mood. However, he did find a suitable disguise in that man. All he needed to do was find the right time, moment and place to take his life. Figuratively, and literally. All he needed to do was wait. Later that day… After a long day at the office, Filthy was now able to head home. But it's not going to be relaxing as he has to deal with his wife and daughter. He can handle meetings, other businessmen, and his employees. His family? Barely tolerable! His wife takes his money without asking, and his daughter asks him to buy things for her that she doesn't even need! Those two will be the death of him, but he cares for his family. No matter how spoiled they are. He just needs to do something about it. But what? Sighing deeply, Filthy entered his limousine and relaxed while he could. He told the driver to drive him home. And so he did. It would take an hour before he would make it home, but at least he can enjoy the peaceful silence. "You seemed awfully stressed sir, is there a problem?" Asked the driver. "*Sigh* Just the usual mess. Business is great, but the people are not. And my family can't stop bothering me, and wasting my hard earned money! Sometimes I wish I could just get away from it all! *Hmph* Like that'll ever happen." The driver smiled. "Well, why don't we make it come true? Let's switch places!" Filthy laughed, his driver was quite funny! "Hahaha! As if that will happen! If you lived in my shoes, you'll be driven crazy!" "...I wasn't asking." "Huh?" The driver stepped on the gas pedal hard as the limo went full speed, nearly dodging any vehicle it passed by! Filthy panicked, he was being kidnapped by his own driver! He had to think fast! Looking at the door, Filthy knew it was risky to open it and escape while suffering injuries. But what choice did he have? He reach out towards the door and- "I wouldn't do that!" "Wha?!" "This car is rigged to blow if you touch that handle. I would appreciate that you don't kill us both for I have plans for you." Filthy began to panic even more! He didn't want to die! He stood still as he couldn't do a thing! What did this man want?! Who is he?! "W-Who the hell are you?! Why are you doing this?!" The driver smiled. He looked at Filthy and said. "My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is...was, in the northeast section of Morioh, Japan, where all the villas are, and I am not married." "Huh?" Is...Is this man explaining his history? "I used to work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest." Oh my god he is! "I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what." "What? I don't-" "After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning." "Can you please-" "Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up." "Why are you telling this to me?! Does it look like I care?!" "What I'm trying to explain to you Mr. Rich is that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness." "Wh-What does this have to do with me?!" "My life was perfectly great until I made a mistake. Now I want to correct that mistake! And you will fix it for me." "I-I see…" Filthy knew where this was going. He just hoped it works! "Well then...how much do you want? I can pay you any amount you want! Just name it! No cops involved! We both don't want that to happen, yes?" Yoshikage frowned. "I'm afraid money won't do Mr.Rich. But I do want something?" What?! He doesn't want money?! That always usually works! Then what the hell does he want?! "And that is...?" Yoshikage raised his hand with his thumb sticking out. "Your life." *Click* *Boom* … … … … "Mr. Rich?" Present day. "Hmm?" Hearing his false name, Yoshikage looked at his driver. "Is everything alright? You've been quiet sir." Finding himself riding on a different limousine with a new driver, Yoshikage said. "Forgive me, it's just...My last driver was the one responsible for the accident. I'm still uncomfortable being the passenger here." "Oh, I understand sir! But don't you worry, I'm not like him at all! Hard to believe he would kidnap you just for wanting a raise. Couldn't he just ask?" "Many people just don't have the courage to ask their manager. Seems the pressure got to him." "I guess. Still, he was such a nice guy! He looked like he would never cause any harm!" "...Many people hide their true face in public as they put on a false expression. It is in our nature to hide how we really feel towards others." "Wow…" The driver replied. "I never knew that Mr. Rich. Are there many people who hide how they really feel?" "Of course! As a businessman, I've seen many people who hate each other. It's how the business works. Just like the world. You're a young man, so you'll witness such things in your life at one point. Just keep an eye out." "I see. Thank you Mr. Rich, you've given me a lot to think about." The drive looked back on the road, continuing his job. Yoshikage smiled. What a fool.  The previous driver was a really nice man. He didn't want to kill him, but if he needed to survive in this new world, he'll have to go through means of doing this that are necessary to live. Hard to believe it was that easy to kill the real driver and replace him. Filthy really didn't pay attention who drove him home. How careless! It's a shame really. After blowing up the car, Yoshikage woke up in the hospital and 'convinced' the doctors to perform a face transplant on himself, and the now deceased Filthy Rich. After the surgery, he woke up looking at his new family and the rest was history. Sure it took some time, but he managed to pull it off! However there was one problem. A huge one. Josuke and his allies! They were an obstacle that are still in the way to complete his quiet life! He'll have get rid of them! But for now, he had to go to work. To be continued... > Chapter 15 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kujo resident's Today is Saturday, Everybody is relaxing and enjoying their weekend. Josuke, Okuyasu, and Hayato were playing video games and were amazed how the graphics looked compared to their world! Koichi was waiting at the kitchen table for breakfast, being made by Yukako who is Supervised by Holly in case anything goes wrong, and teaching her a thing or two. Rohan was looking at his phone looking for some inspiration for his next lesson. As for Jotaro, he was observing around and seeing how active it is now. Usually it's been quiet, but since Jouske and his friends arrived, it's nothing but loud noises and screaming! It was entertaining. Better than the silence that fills the entire house. Speaking of Josuke and his group… Josuke, Okuyasu, and Hayato were in front of the tv playing a platform video game, and the three of them were the loudest in the house as they argued towards each other. "Goddamn it Okuyasu! I needed that power up!" "Hey, you were too slow to pick it up! So I saw an opportunity and took it!" "You guys are so focused on those power up's, I'm already ahead of you!" "WHAT?!" Koichi was waiting at the table while Yukako was making breakfast for him while being watched over by Holly. The teenage boy was starting to get hungry, a bowl of cereal would've been enough, but Yukako was eager to make him something. However she didn't have much experience. Thankfully, Holly was there to teach. She began to show her how to make a simple dish of sunny side up eggs. After a few moments, Yukako was finally done and brought it to Koichi. "H-Here you go Koichi! Sunny side eggs up just for you!" As she placed the plate in front him, Koichi looked at the food. It does look good, nothing out of the ordinary. He looked at Yukako who looked nervous but smiled at him. Koichi knew she tried her best, he just hoped it tasted good. If not, well...better not think about that. He picked up the fork and took a piece of the eggs, placed it in his mouth and… "*Gasp* Woaaaaaah!!! Y-Yukako! This is delicious!" "I-It's?" She replied as she began to blush. "Totally! I definitely want another round of this!" He began to scruff down the eggs in his mouth. The food was great! Yukako couldn't contain herself as she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and kissed his cheek! "Oh koichi! I'm so happy to hear that! I'll make another batch right!" "Y-Yukako, please! Not in front of the others! It's embarrassing!" "Let them watch! I'm sure they'll be jealous to see how our love is blossoming towards them!" "Hey! We can hear you ya know?" Josuke complained. It's not his fault he didn't have time to look for a relationship thanks to the stand users back in Morioh. "Yeah, the way you two are lovely dovely is kinda gross!" Hayato replied. Teenagers are so weird when it comes to relationships. "Say, can you make us some breakfast too Yukako? I'm starving!" Okuyasu asked. The food smelled delicious! Hopefully he could have some! Yukako scoffed at Okuyasu and replied. "Like hell I will! Make your own damn food!" "B-But I can't cook! Let alone crack an egg!" "Then get someone who knows!" "Oh, come on!" "Now, now! Let's not fight everyone!" Holly said, defusing the argument. "It's the weekend! There's no need to argue!" "She's right," Jotaro added. "And it's too early for a fight. So get yourself a bowl of cereal Okuyasu, it doesn't hurt to get your ass up and make it." "Aw...fine. I'd rather have something sweet instead." Okuyasu replied. Now that things have settled down, everyone stayed silent. Until. *Beep* *Beep* Jotaro took out his phone and looked at the screen, he received a text! He read the message and...smiled?! Everyone knew who was on the other side of the phone, it was 'her' messaging Jotaro ever since he returned from that house a few days ago, both have been texting back and forth since then. Holly and the others began to tease him at times that he has a girlfriend, Jotato kept replying that they are just friends and nothing more. But that didn't stop them as they continued to tease him. It was fun to mess with him! Suddenly Rohan yawned loudly and said. "How boring...after a week living in this world there's nothing interesting. I was hoping for something that could benefit my next lesson, as well as my manga." "Wait, Rohan-Sensei, you're making manga?!" Koichi said in surprise. "But what about this world's Rohan? We don't want to draw attention that he'll find out that another you is using the same type of research!" "Relax Koichi, he won't find out, I'll make sure of that. You just worry about yourself, and I'll do the same. After all, I'm using a fake name when I publish it." "Isn't that Illegal?" "*Hmph* It's called an alias Koichi, other writers do it." "Well…" "If you're feeling bored then how about you head to the mall?" Holly suggested. "The...mall? What's a mall? Is it the same as a shopping center?" Josuke asked. "You don't have a mall in your world?" Holly replied in surprise, does his hometown not have malls? "No, but we do have shopping centers back in Morioh. Does that count?" "Of course! Only it takes place in one building! A huge one at that!" "Woah, really? Sounds awesome!" Okuyasu replied in excitement. "Oi, Josuke! I'd say we go and check it out!" "Hmm, not a bad idea. Alright, let's go!" "Hey, don't forget about me you guys!" Said Koichi. "And me!" Yukako added. "Do I have to go too?" Hayato complained. "Looks like everyone is eager to go! Alright then, get yourselves ready and we'll be on our way!" Holly replied. "Yeah!" "Good grief, it's just the mall. Not a trip to Disneyland! " Said Jotaro. Seriously, the mall wasn't a big deal to visit. But then again, it's better than doing nothing at home. He wondered if 'she' might be interested in going to the mall with them? Might as well ask. Seeing Jotaro reach for his phone and began to text, everyone knew what he was doing. No matter how many times he refuses that he has a thing for 'her', it is obvious that everyone can see that he does. But before they head out to the mall, a quick trip to the bank first! Josuke and the others didn't have any money. Hehehe... Later that day... Canterlot Mall, the city's one and only shopping center! Many people come here to spend their hard earned money for whatever their hearts desired! It's also the number one place for teens to hangout and shop! Entering the building, Josuke and his gang looked around and saw how huge the place was! "Woah! This place is bigger than I thought! Just how many shops are in this building?!" Said Josuke. "Tell me about it! I wonder if they have good food? I'm still hungry!" Added Okuyasu. "This place is something! Hey Koichi, let's go look around together!" Yukako asked her boyfriend. "Sure thing! What about you Rohan Sensei?" "Seeing as I'm still trying to find material for work and my manga, I suppose I could take a break. Hopefully I'll find an inspiration here." "I'll wait here for a while, I'm meeting someone here." Jotaro added. "Then it looks like Hayato is with me!" Holly said. "Whatever." "I'll message you all when it's time leave, see you all soon!" And with that, the group went their separate ways as they explored what's around them. With Josuke. Walking around the mall, Josuke couldn't believe there were this many shops in one building! There were many different kinds, but too many to describe. Heck, most of the stores here were mostly clothing while some were electronics, merch, and more. Definitely a place where he can hang out. Of course there are the annoying people who try to sell their wares by waving their products in his face. But hey, they're trying to make a living. He couldn't blame them. Seeing the amount of money he received from his sister, Josuke wondered what he should spend it on. New clothes? A new game? Oooh hair products? Keeping up with this hairstyle is not easy ya know! "Josuke?" "Hmm?" Hearing his name Josuke turned around to see a familiar face, along with a new one. "Rarity?" "What a surprise! I didn't expect you to be here of all places!" "And I didn't expect to see you here at all! What are you doing here? And who's that next to you?" Looking down next to her she said. "This my little sister, Sweetie Belle. Go on say hello!" Looking at the teenager, Sweetie Bell responded. "That's a weird looking hairstyle you got there!" Both teens froze from the response, especially Josuke. Anyone who talks trash about his hair is good as dead! However seeing she's just a kid, and Rarity's sister, he forcefully smiled and said. "Yeah well, it's a style that I use everyday, and I intend to have it until I die." "Or until you lose hair." The teens froze once again. Rarity felt embarrassed, very embarrassed! Like Sweetie Bell, she too found it weird when he began attending Canterlot High, but when Josuke told the story about his hairstyle, Rarity thought of it to be quite honorable and inspiring. She began to get used to it as she couldn't think of another style that suits him! It's pretty much his signature look! Hearing the little brat still insulting his hair was really not helping. Using Crazy Diamond on this kid was a really tempting idea, but he knew better than that! Instead, he kneeled down to her and said. "How about I treat you to some Ice cream so you can keep quiet about my hair." "Deal!" Sweetie Bell happily replied. "Good, but first, I'm gonna need your help Rarity." "What for Darling?" "Well, not knowing much about hair products in this world, I figured I could use an expert such as yourself to help me out." Placing her hands on her hips as she felt some pride from being called 'expert', Rarity replied. "Why of course! I would be glad to assist you! As a fashionista, I know the perfect products you'll need for that style of yours!" "Awesome! You're a lifesaver Rarity! I owe you one!" "Hmm...I'll remember that. Anyway, follow me! I know a few places." Before they could move, Sweetie Bell said. "Hey! What about my Ice cream?!" "Who said anything about getting you Ice cream right now?" Josuke Replied. "I said if you keep quiet, I'll give you your Ice cream. So far you're not doing a good job." The young girl was shocked, how dare this jerk trick her into this agreement! If only she had a pair of scissors, she can ruin that stupid hair! Smiling, Josuke patted Sweetie Bell's head and said. "Don't worry, I'll keep my end of the bargain. Just remember, no talking trash about my hair. Do that, I'll make your treat a double scoop instead of one." "*Gasp* A-A double scoop?" "Yup! Now, we have a deal?" "Deal!" Said Sweetie Bell without hesitation as she held out her hand towards him. Josuke held out his hand and shook the girls hand. "Good. Now then, Rarity, lead the way." "Right. Now if my memory serves right…" With Okuyasu. Is...Is this heaven? Did he die when he instantly walked towards the holy land in this building?! His eyes started to leak tears. It is a beautiful sight to see...in front of him was the food court! The smell of food was entering his nostrils with passion! Okuyasu felt his mouth water at an instant as he could no longer hold back his desire to stuff his mouth with food! He only hoped his stomach could handle the upcoming storm of food! After what seemed an eternity, Okuyasu finally had a meal on his hands. In front of him on the table was a triple meat cheeseburger! With some fires on the side.  It may not be healthy, but who cares! He was hungry damn it! Grabbing the burger, Okuyasu closed his eyes and prepared his taste buds. *Chomp* "Huh? That's odd? I can't taste anything?" Opening his eyes, he saw his burger had disappeared from his hands! "What the?! M-My burger! It's gone!" Okuyasu looked around, but there wasn't anyone near him besides the other shoppers a couple of feet away from him! "Ok...there's got to be an explanation that the burger is gone. Either it has been swiped from my hands, or perhaps...it's the work of an enemy stand?!" "Or perhaps the work of a good friend?" "Hmm...that also could-Eh?" Snapping out of his thoughts, Okuyasu saw Pinkie Pie across the table. Where did she come from? "Oh, hey Pinkie! Say, have you seen my burger? I had it in my hands for a second, and now it's gone!" "Oh you mean this burger?" Pinkie pulled out a burger from nowhere and showed it to Oukyasu. "*Gasp* That's it! That's my burger! Can I have it back? I'm pretty hungry!" "Nope." "Huh?" Why not?" Okuyasu whined. "Because silly, the size of this burger is too much for one person! It needs to be shared amongst two people! If not, then you'll get a wicked bad tummy ache!" "Hmm...I was told that eyes are bigger than the stomach. And I really don't want a tummy ache.So, I guess I could share." "Awesome!" Pinkie replied happily as she ripped the burger in half and began eating it. Feeling a bit saddened that his other half is gone, Okuyasu began to eat what was left of his meal. Oh well, at least he still has his fries. After eating, Pinkie Pie patted her stomach and said. "Ah, that was great! How was your half Okuyasu?" "It was ok I guess. I'm still kinda hungry." "Great! How about we get some dessert?" "Desert? Why do we need to go there? There's so much sand over there that it's coarse, rough, irritated and it gets everywhere!" Pinkie laughed. But not just any laugh, it was a real laugh that she had to hold her stomach! Oh boy, she hoped she didn't lose her lunch that she just ate. After calming down, she replied. "Not desert silly, dessert! You know, Ice cream, cookies, that kind of thing!" "Oooooh! I-I knew that! Hahaha!" Said Oukyasu as he tried to play it off.  "Great! Not let's get some!" Before she could leave, Okuyasu grabbed her arm and said. "Wait! Before we go, can I ask you something?" "Sure!" "What are you doing here?" "It's the weekend silly! Who doesn't wanna go to the mall and hang around?" She replied quickly. But that didn't satisfy Okuyasu's curiosity. He then asked. "Then why did you steal my burger, ask for half of it, and now wanting dessert! Something you're hiding from me Pinkie? Come on, spill it! I may not be smart, but I know something is up!" Pinkie Pie began to sweat bullets. Yikes! Looks like the jig is up! And she can't lie to him! "Ok! Ok! I...I forgot my wallet at home when I was in a rush to catch the bus this morning. Thank goodness I had my bus pass in my hair!" "Huh, that's a good storage area right there. Anyway, keep going!" "And what's worse is that I forgot my phone too! I didn't wanna wait for another bus ride since it takes a while for another to appear. So I was gonna hangout in the food court and eat some of their free samples, but luckily I found you!" "And that's when you asked for my burger! Now it makes sense!" "Uh huh!" Oukyasu felt really terrible for asking Pinkie such a thing. Ah geez, how's he gonna fix this?! Unless… "Ok, Let's get some dessert!" "We will?!" Pinkie Pie smiled widely. "Yeah! I mean, what kind of a good friend am I if I didn't treat another good friend to some delicious sweets! So, you down?" "You bet your sweet tooth I'm down! Come on!" Pinkie then ran towards the nearest sweet shop to get the sweets she deserved! As for Okuyasu, he was dragged by Pinkie when he was still holding her arm the whole time! Poor guy had to hang on for dear life if he wanted to live! With Jotaro. While waiting for his friend to arrive, Jotaro leaned against a wall to relax until they arrived. Of course it didn't take long before some girls walking by noticed how handsome and cool he looked. So they asked Jotaro if he wanted to hangout with them, but to their disappointment he told them he's meeting somebody and didn't have time for them. However that wasn't enough to turn them away as one of the girls grabbed his arm, and pushed her chest against it to show some of her cleavage as she then spoke in a seductive voice to change his mind. Next thing she knew the girl fell down on the ground, and saw that the hot guy was gone! Like he disappeared at an instant! All the girls looked in shock! How did he do that?! More importantly, where did he go?! Nearby, Jotaro looked around the corner staying on a low profile for the moment looking at the group girls. "Good grief, what a pain in the ass. What is the deal with girls keep trying to hit on me if I say no!  And trying to expose yourself a little to convince me of hanging out with you? Sorry, but I'm not interested in that." Thank goodness for Star Platinum's time stop ability, without it, he'd be in big trouble and had to figure out a way of that mess! Geez, all of this girl crap is making him itch for a smoke! Jotaro reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes to take his mind off from earlier. "Jojo!" "Urk!" Turning around was Twilight running toward him shouting for him. Phew, for a second there he thought it was someone else. He quickly put away his cigarettes and replied. "Hey, took you long enough." "Sorry, I had some trouble earlier that didn't want to give up!" "Trouble? Could've told me about it and I would've helped. You alright?" "Um...I'm fine! It's just that...I brought the trouble with me." "With you?" Jotaro asked with an eyebrow raised. What did she mean she brought it with her? "What do you mean-" "Kujo!" "Oh good grief…" Said Jotaro as he knew that voice instantly. Walking behind Twilight was none other than Night Light. And he wasn't alone. Velvet, Shining Armor, and Cadance, all showed up! What is this a family reunion?! "Ah Canterlot mall, it's been a long time hasn't it?" Said Night Light while looking at the building. "Indeed it has," Velvet replied as she hugged her husband. "I remember when you took me here on our first date!" "Hahaha! Ah, good times." "Heh, I remember when I first met Cadance here, and I asked her out!" Said Shining. "And I remember I turned you down in an instant, but you wouldn't take no for an answer." Cadance replied. "Hey, at least I changed your opinion about me!" Seeing that he and Twilight weren't gonna be alone together, it seems that the family wanted to tag along. Most importantly for her protection, or whatever is on their mind. Jotaro looked at her and said. "I see the trouble you're talking about. They found out?" "They found out. I tried to tell them we were just going to hang out but they wanted to tag along!" "*Sigh* Well, 'can't do nothing about it. Ready to head in?" Before she could reply, Night Light spoke first. "Ready as ever Kujo! Come on, let's go! I can't wait to see how things are different here!" Night Light then wrapped his arm around Jotaro and forced him to walk with him. Guess he really doesn't want his daughter near her yet. Seeing her parent's and her brother walking with Jotaro, made Twilight feel really embarrassed! Oh the shame she is feeling right now! Why couldn't they just leave her and Jotaro alone darn it! Is it too much to ask to be close to him?! "Sorry if things didn't turn out the way you want to be Twilight." Cadance said, showing sympathy to the teenager. "I know how much you wanted it to be just you and Jotaro, but your family is stubborn. Sometimes I wonder who is the mature one here." "I wonder about that myself too…" "Come on, let's catch up before they torture him even more." "*Sigh* I hate to steal this from you Jojo, but, good grief…" Later that day. *Play, Like a dream come true from Persona 4* As time flew by, the whole group that went their separate ways had their own things going on in the mall. Josuke, Rarity, and Sweetie Bell were just finishing shopping for hair products that he needed for the time being. The little girl begged Josuke if it was time for some Ice cream now. Seeing that he had everything he needed, and not heard a complaint, nor making fun of his hair, he held his end of the bargain for rewarding the kid some Ice cream. She deserved it! After making their way to the food court and buying some Ice cream, Sweetie Bell, looked at her double scoop dessert in awe as she couldn't wait to devour this beast! Jouske and Rarity warn the girl about eating it fast or she'll regret it. But she didn't listen, Sweetie Bell scooped up a huge chunk of her treat and ate it!  Moments later, she suffered a brain freeze. And boy does she regret it now! She laid her head on her sister's lap to soothe the pain while Josuke rubbed her head to at least help. In reality, he used Crazy Diamond to heal her brain freeze little by little. Of course he would have healed her instantly, but might as well make this a small punishment to the kid for not listening. Josuke and Rarity looked at each other and laughed. It was nice to be in her/his presence. They wouldn't mind hanging around with each other again! Minus Sweetie Bell of course! … After coming out of the restroom, and puking out all the colors of the rainbow, Okuyasu, and Pinkie have decided to call it a draw in their contest of who could eat the most candy in under a minute. And the results were flushed down the toilet. Agreeing they'll not eat any sweets for a while, they decided to hit the arcade for the time being. Heading inside, Pinkie spotted a claw machine instantly and saw something that caught her eye. She walked towards it and saw the prize it contained. A crocodile plushie! Pinkie pressed her face against the glass as she totally wanted the stuffed animal. RIGHT. NOW!!! She asked Okuyasu if he had any quarters to play the game. Luckily for her, he did have some. Snatching the change from his hand, she inserted the coins and played! Pinkie put all her thoughts aside and concentrated on getting the plushie! It took some time but she finally got the claw over the toy, now all she has to do is press the button to retrieve it and it's as good as hers! *Click* The claw goes down to the toy, it grabs it! It's now going up, and- *Buzz* "You lose!" The plushie fell as it was raised in the air! What the?! How?! The claw had a good grip on it! Time to play again! After three attempts, Pinkie planted her face against the glass and begged the machine for her to have the plushie! Oh god the agony! Why must she be rejected by the gaming gods! Wanting to give it a try, Okuyasu played the game. Like Pinkie, the toy fell out of the claw. However this gave him an idea! What is it? Well, obviously all he needs is power. STANDO POWA!!!! Playing the game once more, Okuyasu placed the claw over plushie once more, and pressed the button to grab it! As it was being raised, he saw the toy about to fall! Acting quickly, he used, The hand, kept the plushie in place until it reached the goal. And then… *Ding* "WINNER!" Pinkie gasped at what happened, Oukyasu used his stand to win the toy for her! Why didn't she think of that?! Oh right, she doesn't have one. As he presented the plushie to her, Pinkie hesitated to take the stuffed animal from him. He won it! Well, not fair and square, so it belongs to him! Telling Pinkie he may have won it, but he won it for her. After all she was the one who wanted it! Feeling her heart skip a beat, this feeling….could it be? Is it? All of a sudden she immediately hugged Okuyasu and said thank you over and over again! Followed with a kiss on his cheek! Being hugged and receiving a kiss on the cheek by Pinkie made Okuyasu freeze in place. That was unexpected! Never in his life did he ever receive a kiss on his cheek from another girl! Her lips felt soft and smooth! And having her arms around him made him feel all fuzzy inside. And something is his stomach moving around, like it's flying! Must be the leftover sweets still rumbling in there. … Enjoying their time together, Koichi and Yukako didn't want to leave each other's presence. Yukako knew this is how she wanted to spend time with her beloved Koichi! Just the two of them together and as the perfect couple. However if anyone dares take him away from her she'll make sure they'll suffer! No one but her lays a finger on him! Oh! What is she thinking?! She shouldn't be thinking such things! Koichi wouldn't like that. Come on, smile around him! There's no need for such thoughts! Suddenly a group of guys appeared out of nowhere surrounded Yukako and began flirting with her! Complimenting how hot she looked and how sexy she is in that outfit! They asked her if she was single and had time to hangout? Seeing what was going on, and how they were treating Yukako, Kochi politely asked the group to please leave them alone as she is on date with him. He hoped that was enough to back them off! Hearing his words, the group just laughed thinking this little brat is dating this hotness! Must be her little brother. One of them gave koichi some cash to scram and leave them alone. They are busy at the moment! Witnessing how they are treating her beloved, Yukako's hair began to rise, literally, without them knowing! Her stand, Love Deluxe, was ready to grab those bastards and strangle them for treating Koichi like that, and for such unwanted advances towards her! She belongs to no one but Koichi! Suddenly all of the guys in the group fell flat on their faces into the ground! They tried to get up but they couldn't! It's almost as if gravity was weighing them down! What the hell?! Looking at the group and seeing what happened,Yukako wondered how all of them fell face flat into the floor? She then looked at Koichi looking serious with his stand Echoes Act 3 next to him. He was the one who caused this to them! Dismissing Echoes, Koichi held his hand out toward Yukako and asked if she would like to continue with their date. Hell yeah she would! Calming herself down as her hair returned to its normal state, Yukako smiled once more, and took her beloved Koichi's hand and continued their date. Like as if nothing ever happened! … While looking for some research material for his manga, and his next lesson for his students of course, Rohan sat near a cafe shop as he observed what's around him. Nothing but happy people enjoying their time here at the mall. In short, there wasn't any material to gain from this place! Hmph! Such a waste of time this is, but at least he knew not to come to this place ever again! *Flash* A bright light blinded Rohan all of a sudden, where did that light come from?! And who's screaming at him? Regaining his sight he saw a teenage girl accompanied by two other girls assisting her. The assistants then placed some strange items around him that are used for photo shoots, and then began to place makeup on his face! Then the leader of the trio began to scream at him once more, telling him what to do such as facial expressions and simple poses. What the hell is going here?! Who are these girls?! And why do they look familiar? Feeling satisfied, the leader then showed Rohan the photos she took of him and saw the results. My, My he looked quite good on these. The shots, the angle, and the expressions! Now these are some materials right here! He looked at the girls and asked who they are? The leader of the girls, told him her name is Photo Finish, she and her assistants were classmates and students in his class. Huh, no wonder he felt familiar with them! Rohan then asked what they were doing and why they were taking photos of random people, like him, in the mall. Photo Finish said that if she was going to be the best photographer, she needed to be taking photos to improve her chances of making it to the top when she graduates and let everyone know how amazing and fantastic her photos are! And if her subjects needed to be 'fixed' to improve her shots, then she needed to do what it takes to get that one perfect photo! Hearing how serious and motivated she is with her passion, and with nothing much to do, he asked if he could accompany her as he could use her help with his work. Photo Finish agreed, she said it would be an honor that her teacher can come along and see her work in action! But first, a cup of coffee and perhaps a bagel to go with it! … Shopping with Mrs. Kujo has been an interesting experience for Hayato. She treated him as if she was his child and was so nice! She paid attention to him at all times and even held his hand! The young boy felt really weird that the woman liked his presence. It's seemed as if she really wanted to do this again for a long time since Jotaro grew up. Honestly, he thought this would boring and waste of time shopping with Jotaro's mom. But instead grew to liked it! She made him feel like a real kid! Hard to believe he hasn't felt like this before for quite sometime since his parent's began to aruge toward each other. And before that imposter invaded his life and made him relive the same event over and over and over! Hayato shook those thoughts away and began to enjoy his time with Mrs. Kujo! She took him to a place where he could try on some new clothes and to a toy store for a quick look for him. He really didn't want to get anything since he doesn't deserve it. After all he and the others don't belong in this reality, but who knows if they find a way back or they couldn't return home! Hayato politely turned down the offers Mrs. Kujo was giving him, but she told him it was nonsense and that he should at least have something for the time being while trying to find a way back. After all he is a kid! Mrs. Kujo is right, he is a kid. And perhaps he should try and act like it! But it didn't felt right for him somehow…oh what the hell, he might as well enjoy it! And for as long as he could remember, Hayato smiled. ... Being tortured by Twilight's family wasn't how Jotaro wanted his weekend to be. Well, it wasn't really a real torture, but it was beginning to feel like it! Whenever he tried to get close to Twilight, either her parent's or her brother pulled him back and distracted him on their shopping advice. Such, 'Hey Jotaro, does this outfit make me look fat?' 'Hey Jotaro, do you think this carpet will match the drapes?'. Oh good god, will they please just shut up! And why the hell did they even show up?! Don't they sort of trust him now?  Why even bother showing up when he and Twilight wanted to hang out as friends! It's not like they are dating or anything! He really wanted it to be just the two of them, no one else. If only there was some way to get away from them and just- Oh wait. He does! Oh good grief why didn't he think that before! Ok, he just needs to get to Twilight, tell her the plan and they're out of here! And he has the perfect thing to do that. Seeing Jojo trying to reach her but was pulled away from her parents and brother was beginning to be annoying! Twilight could tell that he was not having a good time thanks to them. Why did she leave her phone out in the open so everyone can see who's messaging her! Ever heard of privacy?! Ugh, parents are so annoying! She asked Cadence to try and distract them so Jojo could come over, but they always stop him when walks towards her and pulls him back! ARGH!!!! Twilight hoped today would only be her and Jojo, so many things can happen! Such as holding hands, getting to know each other more, maybe even see what they can shop for together, and...maybe perhaps...a kiss to seal the deal? Oh god, please let that happen! But nope! Thanks to her parents and brother, that's not gonna happen if they keep this up! If only there was a way to get out here without them noticing! Suddenly a voice spoke near her, she turned and saw Star Platinum! It then spoke to her, it sounded like Jojo's Voice! How?! Telling her there's no time, it told her that she needs to walk towards him. Now! Wanting to ask why, she saw Jojo waking towards her! Ok, nevermind better do the same! She began to move quickly as she could without hesitation, but she wondered what was going on? Getting close to her, she heard her dad's voice speaking! Oh no! Why- Twilight found herself in a different area in the mall. How did she even get here? When did she get to once from another at an instant? One second she was in a store with her family, then a second later she's not! What happened?! How did- Jojo, who was next to her, explained what happened. Oh right, Star Platinum's power can stop time, and apparently can speak through his stand. Well now it all makes sense! Wow, having a stand sounds amazing! She wondered what kind of stand she'll have if she ever gets one. Now free from her parent's, Jotaro then asked Twilight if she would like to begin their day together. She liked that. She would like that alot. Grabbing his arm, leaning against him, and resting her head on it, Jojo began to walk with her.  Jotaro didn't even mind letting Twilight hold and lean against him. Not one bit. *Stop Music* Elsewhere… "Thanks for buying my new phone daddy! I really needed one!" "Yeah thanks Mr. Rich! Now me and Diamond are matching! "Anything to make my little girl happy!" 'Filthy' replied. That damn brat didn't want to shut up about wanting to get that device! So he and the kids drove down to the mall, and bought the phone. Hopefully that'll keep her busy for a while. However, being in the mall has its perks. So many beautiful hands! They are everywhere! There weren't this many when he was living back in Morioh! And it's not just the women, but the teenagers too! His urges were begging him to get them! But the children were here with him! Damn it! How long must he hold back his urges? How long will he live a false life again? If there was a chance to escape from his 'prison', he'll take it without hesitation, and then he may be free with his desires! If only there was- "Josuke, are you sure you can carry her?" "I got it! She's not that heavy!" "Hey, I'm not fat!" "Urk" Turning to where the voices came from, Yoshikage saw what he didn't want to see. ("Josuke! What the hell is he doing here?! If he's here, then his allies are here too! No need to panic! He doesn't know me in this face, so I should be fine. But seeing him with my own eyes is not helping! Argh! What can I do?! Wait. I may have an idea…") "Daddy? What's wrong? You look angry." Diamond Tiara said. She didn't like that look he was giving off. Snapping back to his sense, 'Filthy' adjusted himself and said. "Ah, forgive me sweetheart. I just remembered that I needed to find something here that caught my attention. Here a few hundred dollars and get you anything you want." After handing the money to the kid, Yoshikage immediately walked away as Diamond asked what was wrong. But to her disappointment, he left without saying another word. To be continued... > Chapter 16 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After letting Sweetie Bell recover from her brain freeze, the trio decided to take a walk since there's still time to look around and see what catches their eye. Josuke hasn't heard anything from the others so far, why not explore the mall a bit more? There's so many shops here he wanted to check them all!  Then all of a sudden he felt something heavy land on his back! He looked back to see Sweetie Bell! "H-Hey what are you doing?!" "What does it look like I'm doing? Getting a piggyback ride!" She said Happily. "Sweetie Bell, get off of him this instant! You know it's very rude to do such a thing!" Rarity scolded her little sister. "Why? Jealous?" "Grr!" Seeing this could go on for a while, and not wanting to be part of it. Josuke just accepted his situation and said. "*Sigh* Rarity, don't worry about it. I'll give her a Piggyback ride. As for you missy, you need to ask permission before doing something like this. It's very rude!" "Sorry." Apologized Sweetie Bell. "Good. Now, let's take that walk shall we?" "Josuke, are you sure you can carry her?" Rarity asked.  "I got it! She's not that heavy!" "Hey, I'm not fat!" "I didn't say you were." "Hmph!" With that, the trio went on their walk. Unknown to them they were being watched and followed… After taking another look around the mall to pass time, Josuke has decided that this mall, since it's the only mall in the city, is a good spot to hangout with the others. Especially on days like this. But then again, he had never been to the city, so maybe one day he'll take a look around and see what's there to explore! The thought of sight seeing the city excited the young man. After living in Morioh most of the time, Josuke always wanted to visit other places. Like Disneyland! Or the big apple, New York! But knowing he's not from around here, and not from this reality, he'll have to fit in. So far he's been doing great, so yeah! Suddenly he felt something wrap around his arm, he turned to see Rarity close to him! She looked creeped out! He wondered what's up with her? "Something wrong?" Hearing Josuke's voice, Rarity snapped out of what was distracting her. "It-It's nothing! I thought I saw something." Josuke didn't buy that, telling by her face, she looked...scared! What did she see? Moments later, Rarity did it again! What is freaking her out? "Come on Rarity, what is it? Don't wanna freak out Sweetie Bell!" He's Right, Sweetie Bell was distracted as she looked around, pretending she was taller than everyone else. "Alright. This is going to sound strange but, I've been seeing this person dressed up in what appears to be a cat costume." "Cat costume?" Josuke replied. He slowly turned around and saw what Rarity described. He froze in place. No...It can't be! Seeing his reaction Rarity said. "I told you! Some creep is wearing a costume and no one is paying attention! And he's been following us for a while! I think we should-" "You're not doing anything." "What?" Placing Sweetie Bell down for her safety, the girl complained. "Hey! Why-" "Rarity, you and Sweetie Bell get out of here, now!" "J-Josuke! What is it?" Rarity had never seen him this serious! He always had this calm look and happy attitude when around people. "That's not a guy in a costume...it's a Stand! Yoshikage's Stand!" "What?! You mean-" "Yeah, that's the guy. Now please, get out of here while you still can!" She didn't want to leave Josuke behind and fight this terrible monster by himself! But she remembered that he and the others arrived together, so there's a chance they can defeat him! "O-Okay! Be careful Josuke! Come on Sweetie Bell, let's go." "But-" "No time to explain, come on!" Seeing Rarity and her sister leave, Josuke hoped they were able to escape. Looking back at Killer Queen, it was still looking at him for a moment until it walked away. He knew if he followed it, there could be a trap waiting for him. But if he didn't, who knows what could happen next! Screw it, better follow it and end this! But not without back up first! Josuke took out his phone and messaged the others. Canterlot Mall, Arcade area. Finishing a dancing game and losing, Okuyasu fell to his knees and cried. "Damn it! How could I lose? Were my dance skills not good enough? Was I not flexible? Or maybe I'm too stiff?" Seeing her opponent on the ground and weeping in defeat, Pinkie laughed like a villain. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Victory is mine Okuyasu! I find your lack of dance moves disappointing, but satisfying! An easy win for me! Time for your punishment!" "No...please! Have mercy!" Said Okuyasu, shaking in fear! "Sorry, out of mercy!" *Beep* *Beep* Okuyasu's phone went off! "Oh! Hang on!" "Hey, come on! I was on a roll here!" Complained Pinkie as she placed her hands on her hips. What a way to ruin the mood! "Sorry, it might be important." Okuyasu stood up from the floor and looked at his phone, he received a text from Josuke! Wonder what's up? He opened and read the message, and suddenly, his expression turned to shock and seriousness. "Pinkie...You have to get out of here, now!" "Huh? What do you mean?" Pinkie asked. Did something happen? "Remember that Yoshikage guy who takes women's hands? He's here!" "What?! Oh no!" "Yeah, now listen! Josuke and I fought many stand users, and won. But this guy, he's on another level! I hate to run off and leave you here, but I don't have a choice!" Knowing he was right, Pinkie really didn't want Oukyasu to leave. She was having such a great time with him! He's actually the first person, or rather, the first guy she had ever to hang out with! It would be terrible if he lost to that murderer! "Now get out of here! I gotta go!" "Wait!" Pinkie grabbed Okuyasu's arm, preventing him from leaving! "H-Hey! Pinkie, what are you doing?!" "I want you to promise me! Promise me you'll make it out alive! And then, we'll hang out again. Okay?!" "Pinkie…" Okuyasu smiled. This girl is definitely the one for him! He gave her a thumbs up and said. "Alright, it's a date!" "Yeah! And here's for good luck!" Pinkie grabbed Okuyasu's head closer to her and pecked him on his cheek. Causing the teenager to blush deep red! "Now go out there and kick is butt!" "O-Okay!" With that Oukyasu ran out to find Josuke and come up with a plan. Holy crap! He got another kiss from Pinkie! Well, not a real kiss, but at least it was something! Ha! Wait until Josuke hears about it! He'll be so jealous! With Jotaro and Twilight. Hanging out with Twilight was the most relaxing time Jotaro has had all day. Better than hanging out with her parents as they were barely tolerable! Pretty sure they're not happy about ditching them, but it'll take them a while to search for them, as long as Twilight keeps ignoring their phone calls. Their first stop in the mall was a bookstore, not much of a good spot to hangout, but it's a start! Twilight was reading a book about, well, science! Gotta stay smart!  As for Jotaro, a book about the ocean and its inhabitants! Gotta love those dolphins, such majestic creatures! Their next stop is a merch store that sells all kinds of things that are from your favorite show, anime, games, you name it! While looking around, Twilight spotted a familiar tiara. Instantly she knew what it was. Taking a quick look around her, the teen placed the accessory on her head, posed, and quietly said. "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" "Seriously?" "Gah!" Turning around and looking behind her was Jojo! Who was wearing a red helmet that had features of a tyrannosaurus. Isn't that from... "Jojo, why are you wearing a-" "A Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger helmet? I saw and it reminded me when I used to see it as a kid so...I wore it. As for you, I didn't think you were into Sailor Moon." "W-Well, as girly as it may be, it has some action! Unlike yours, it was corny as heck! Entertaining, but still corny! And here we call it Power Rangers! Not, Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger!" Jotaro Shrugged his shoulders. "*Hmph, So? At least my show has better poses." Twilight looked at Jojo with a serious look. "Are you challenging me to a pose off?" Jotaro smirked behind the helmet. "I might be. Why? Scared that my moves will outshine yours?" "Oh, it's on!" And so both teens had a pose off in the store and tried all of the accessories and props they could find to see whose pose is better while in character. Their third stop was a toy store, Specifically, a store where you can create your own stuffed toy. Seeing it looked fun, Twilight asked Jojo if they could go and make one together! Not really his style, yet he didn't want to look bad in front of her, Jotaro agreed. After making their doll, the stuffed toy looked like Jotaro, which he was not amused, but he kept it to himself. The body was a bear, since they decided to keep it simple, it's clothing was a long black coat with a black hat that resembled his old one. Seeing how adorable it looked, Twilight gave it a hug. Sure she may be old for a teddy bear, but she ain't complaining! Plus, Jojo bought it for her! Now that's a gift that she'll hold onto very dearly! Looking at Twilight cuddling with the toy bear made Jotaro smile. It was a shame they didn't have stuffed dolphin dolls, ah well, a bear will have to do. But why did she make it look like him? Couldn't Twilight make it look like her or something? Good grief, girls are weird. After walking around the mall, they decided to take a break at a nearby bench. Taking their seat, both teens immediately began to chat. "*Phew* What a day! I have to say, I had fun! 'Wouldn't mind doing it again!" Said Twilight. "Same. I had a great time too, it would've been nice if your family didn't butt in and attempt to ruin our day together." Jotaro replied with a hint of annoyance. "I know, but at least we ditched them! And honestly, it felt thrilling to do that! I've never done such a thing to my family before! Have you done something like that before?" "To my family no, but I've ditched school a few times when I wanted to. Does that count?" Twilight giggled as she laid her head on his shoulder to rest for a moment. "You're so silly, Jojo! And yes, I think that counts. But I don't think I'll be doing that again for quite some time." Jotaro chuckled as he looked at Twilight with a small smile. She sure has changed since the Friendship games. Twilight was a bit awkward and somewhat shy when they first met. Now, she's happy and has great friends around her! But she's still a bit of a nerd, but he likes that about her. Most girls worry so much about things that don't make sense to him. Such as, clothing, looks, which male celebrity is attractive, and their social media posts. The list goes on! But Twilight, she's...different! She doesn't care about what most girls worry about, ok, she somewhat does, but that doesn't affect how he sees her! To him, she's still that silly, smart girl who he loves to be with. Perhaps the only girl he cares for. If something were to happen to her... No! He can't think like that! Don't wanna jinx things! Cadence will kill him if anything happens to Twilight! Of course, he can defend himself, but that woman, she's something else! He hates to imagine what type of stand if she obtained one! Combine that with her rage and...Oh god... *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* * Beep* "Urk!" Jotaro's phone went off! Phew! That made him jump a bit. Just thinking Cadence made him almost sweat in fear! How the hell did her parents raise her? Best not to think about that. Better check out what he received on the phone. Waking up from her nap, Twilight sat up straight as a sound woke her up. It was a shame it didn't last long, Jojo's shoulder was comfortable to lay her head on. After adjusting herself, she looked at Jojo and saw him looking at his phone, staring at it so seriously! What happened? He then turned to her and said. "You need to get out of here, now!" "What? Why?! Jojo what's-" "He's here, Yoshikage is here!" Twilight gasped in shock and fear. Yoshikage, the same man who nearly killed them with that explosion a while back?  "H-He's here?! Why?!" "No clue, Josuke messaged me that he spotted his stand nearby. He's gonna need all the help he can get! Now go!" Before she could say anything, Jojo took off in full sprint. This made Twilight feel useless! Why couldn't she go with him and help! But hearing how dangerous stand users can be, perhaps it's for the best. All she could do is pray for his safety… Elsewhere… After messaging the rest of the team, Josuke last spotted Killer Queen in the most populated part of the mall. Not good! It could ambush him at any time! But will it risk causing an explosion that will kill hundreds of innocent people? Most likely. That's why he has to find that stand and at least prevent it from setting off a bomb! Suddenly his phone rang! He answered it. "Hello?" "Oi! Josuke, Where are you? I'm on my way!" "Okuyasu!" Josuke replied, boy was he glad to hear his voice! Still alive too! "Honestly I'm not sure where I am! But I'm somewhere that is filled with a bunch of people here!" "Yeah, it's the same where I am! Gotta give me something more specific than that man!" "*Tch* Don't know how specific I can get! Even if I did mention the name of a store, you wouldn't know where I am!" "Ah man this sucks!" Okuyasu complained, if this were Morioh, then he would have no problem finding Josuke! But since this place is new to him and his pals, it's gonna make things hard to find him! "Tell me about it, look, just keep an eye out! Message the others to do the same, if anything happens, just follow the sounds of fighting!" "Got it!" Hanging up, Josuke continued his search for Killer Queen. If only he could use Crazy Diamond to at least get a better view, but that would get Yoshikage's stand's attention and cause trouble! Better lay low for the moment.  After carefully walking around the area, nothing! This place is still too crowded! And Killer Queen hasn't made a move yet! What is it planning? What is Yoshikage planning? More importantly, what is he doing here? Probably looking for his next victim, ugh, thinking about that monster's fetish just makes him sick to his stomach! Then again, there are worse types of things that people are into. Like- "Hey pal, want a drink? You look like you could use one!" Josuke's thoughts were, thankfully, interrupted as a man tried to sell drinks to him. "Oh, sorry, I'm not interested at the moment. Next time!" Said Josuke as he stepped aside to go around the man, but he was stopped once again. "Ah come on man! You don't know what you're missing out on! This is revolutionary! I'm telling ya this will make you change your mind when I explain!" "Look, I'm in a hurry! Can't you-" "I introduce 'Hot Cola'!" "I said I'm not- Wait. Did you say 'hot cola'?" "That's right! Hot cola! A warm soda that you can drink without burning your throat!" Josuke was speechless, a soda that's been heated up and this guy was selling them? Who wants to drink that?! "Hot Cola?! Cola is meant to be cold, not hot! Who the hell wants to drink hot soda on a hot day?!" "True, but if you think about it, drinking a cold soda burns your throat right? So Hot Cola is the solution to that!" "Hell no! Drinking something hot burns your tongue and throat, not soothes it!" "Then how about you try it out? Prove me wrong sir!" Josuke groaned in annoyance, this guy just won't leave him alone, and see how stupid a hot soda can be! Seriously, who came up with that?! Guess he has no choice but to take a sip of that damn drink! "Fine! If it gets you to leave me alone, I'll drink it!" "Good choice sir!" "Don't push it." Josuke replied as he reached for the drink and- *Zoom* *Splat* Josuke and everyone else around him looked in horror at what happened just now! The man's hand just shredded apart! The crowd cried in fear as they began to flee from the area! Poor guy looked at his hand and responded. "M-M-M-MY HAND! AAAAAHHH!!! MY HAND! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Josuke, the only person who didn't run, kept looking in shock as to why the man's hand just ripped apart?! Was it the drink?! No, it was something else! That looked like a gunshot wound you see in the movies! But there wasn't the sound of a gun going off! Are they using a suppressor or something? "Look over here…" Josuke stood still as he heard a familiar voice coming from the man! Could it be…? Still in shock, the man wondered what the hell just happened?! His hand exploded out of nowhere, like holding a dynamite that went off! Three of five fingers were now missing and half his palm remains! "I said look over here…" The voice next to him spoke to him. He didn't feel the presence of a person, was he hearing things? Must the amount of blood he was losing! He...he had to go get help! He looked around to see who could, but everyone around him ran away because of his condition! Damn it! He then saw a teenager in front of him, it was the same one he tried to sell the hot cola earlier! "H-Hey! Can't you see I'm in pain and lost most of my hand?! Call 911! Help me!!!" "Look...over...here…" "And I'm hearing things! That's not good! Come on! Call the ambulance already!" Josuke didn't pay attention as he was looking at the man's shoulder! There was something on it! It looked like a miniature tank with a skull on the front. And the guy didn't feel it on him! And hearing voices? Including how familiar it sounds, this confirms it. It's… "Look over here!" Feeling irritated, the man turned and shouted. "What-" A stand! Yoshikage's stand! Sheer Heart Attack! *shink* The tank stand flew into the man's mouth and knocked him down onto the ground! Josuke looked in shock as the poor guy was not moving anymore as that tank stand shoved itself in his mouth. He's dead. He looked away as he wasn't able to do anything, even if he had Crazy Diamond next to him.  *Rattle* *Rattle* "Huh?" The stand was trying to escape the corpse's mouth. You could hear flesh and bone being ripped apart by the tank tread! Still stuck the tank resorted to another solution. *Click* Josuke knew that sound! He immediately stood up and ran far as he could! "OH SH-" *Boom* The explosion managed to knock back Josuke away, however, those close to it were not so lucky as he was as they died horribly. Their bodies were tossed to nearby walls, glass windows, and other people who were in Close by. What's worse is not only they were blown back, parts of their body were torn open, or lost their limbs. In short, it was a bloodbath! Nearby… Yoshikage looked at his work while hiding so he could personally see Josuke was taken care of. But knowing he and his allies has survived worse, it was best to not underestimate them that easily! As predicted, and how obvious, the explosion caused a huge panic in the mall! 'Sheer Heart Attack' will take care of the rest as it's a stand that has no weakness! And since it can work without any commands or range limitations, this was the perfect way to blend in and escape! He wondered if Diamond Tiara, and her friend, had been trampled over by the crowd? If they are? Good riddance! If not? What a shame… With Josuke. Getting back up from the ground, Jouske felt a bit sore as the explosion knocked him back a few feet away. He looked around and saw the whole area had been abandoned. All that was left was nothing but rubble and the corpses of innocent bystanders caught in the explosion. Damn Yoshikage for causing this! He'll pay for this! *Rattle* *Rattle* The sound of metal caused Josuke to turn and see the small tank stand coming out of the rubble! Now free, it can now attack him! Where the hell are the others?! He summoned Crazy Diamond and prepared to fight back! "Alright you little shit, come at me!" Sensing it's Target, Sheer Heart Attack charged toward the teenager! "DORARARARARARARARA!!!" Crazy Diamond's fists connected with Sheer Heart Attack and unleashed a fury of multiple punches! However the attack wasn't doing any damage to the stand! "Damn it! This thing is tough! And there's no signs of damage!" *Click* "Shit!" Crazy Diamond punched the stand tank away as it exploded violently, knocking back Josuke again to a nearby wall! The Impact knocked the wind out of him as he struggled to get back up. "Argh! I really hate those explosions! *Cough* *Cough* At times like these I wish I had the ability to heal myself, but noooooo, I can only do that to others and objects! I need healing too!" *Rattle* *Rattle* Hearing metal noises, Jouske turned to see the small stand still coming towards him! "Oh, come on!" Within a split second, Sheer Heart Attack charged again towards Josuke and prepared to detonate! Only for it to suddenly halt and smash into the ground! As if something just stepped on it! "Huh? What the?! The stand just sank into the floor! But how?" "The enemy has been taken care of master! However it is still able to move. S-h-i-t!" That voice! Could it be? Taking a quick look around, Josuke was able to spot Koichi and Yukako! "Great Job Act 3! Keep at it for the moment!" "Understood master!" "Josuke! Are you ok?" Said Koichi as he and Yukako ran to aid their friend. "You two made it just in time! I thought I was gonna be a goner for sure!" Josuke replied as chuckled. He was relieved to see a pair of friendly faces. "Where's that creep, Josuke? Is Yoshikage nearby?" Asked Yukako. "Definitely. Saw Killer Queen with my own eyes! But then Sheer Heart Attack appeared and…well, you see the results." "Sheer Heart Attack?" Koichi quickly explained as he helped Josuke get back on his feet. "Sheer Heart Attack is a part of Killer Queen! It can send a small tank that seeks out it's target by reading it's heat signature. That thing is extremely tough and dangerous! And it's range is Unbelievable! We need to keep our distance if we can!" "Range huh?" Said Yukako as her hair rose up. Showing off its length. "Love Deluxe has the range too! If it gets close I can smack it away or I can bind it in place so we can come up with a plan! "Good idea, but I doubt it can cause any damage and it can still explode! Possibly kill you! I won't allow you to do that!" Replied Koichi. There's no way he'll let his girlfriend do such a thing against a stand from Yoshikage! "Then what about Echo's other transformations? Can they do anything to help?" "Even if I use Echo's other act's it won't be enough to stop it! Distract it maybe but that's too risky! What we need is the others to show up and fight back!" "He's right." Josuke replied. "Fighting alone against this thing is dangerous! But we have to do what we can until the others arrive!" "Master!" "Act 3?!" Turning around, the trio saw the small tank still trying to eliminate it's target as it drove while under the effects of Act 3's gravity power! "Damn it! I forgot how stubborn this thing is!" Cursed Koichi as bad memories began to resurface in his head. "We have to find a heat source to distract it and find a way to stop it for good!" "Sorry but I don't have anything that has enough heat!" Said Josuke. "But if we do, that thing will charge at us before we can blink!" "Then what about food? I'm sure a shopping area like this has to have one! You have to heat certain meals with a stove! If we can find a food court then we can fight it there! "Did someone say food court?" Hearing another familiar voice, the trio saw Okuyasu nearby! "Okuyasu! The hell you been, man?" Josuke replied. "Looking for the fight of course! But what was it about food?" "Okuyasu! Do you know where the food court is? We need to go there, now!" Koichi screamed. "Uh, Y-Yeah! I know where it is! Follow me! I was there this morning!" Without another word, the group followed Oukyasu as Kochi dismissed Echos to allow Sheer Heart Attack to Follow them! Now free from gravity's hold, Sheer Heart Attack leaped from the ground and chased it's victims down! To be continued...
