Prologue

The sun shone bright in the sky, making the sandy dunes below bake in the heat. Atop the sands was a rare sight: two figures stood off against each other. Neither of them made any single movement, to the point where they simply looked like very realistic statues. A few miles away, a large city could be seen. From the frequent glances from the figure facing in the direction of the city, it was obvious her goal was to get to said city. And yet the person in front of her was clearly keeping her from progressing further. The opposing figure was standing perfectly across from her, their feet planted firmly in the sand below them. And so this standoff, in the baking heat of the sun, occurred. It almost seemed that there would be no soon end to it.

Then, the air shifted behind both of them.

The young woman who wished to go to the city now had a ghostly creature hovering behind them. The creature's humanoid body seemed to be covered in indigo metal, acting as a sort of armor, with golden lines on its body like circuits, its purple skin underneath visible only on its upper arms and clawed fingers. Its face could barely be called one, with only two completely violet eyes set into the smooth metal plate and a zig zag line where the creature's mouth would be. A purple scarf was wrapped around the creature's head and covered its neck and collarbone. In its hands was the most bizarre thing about it; it held a crystal ball that contained within it swirling energy.

The opposite figure, an unidentifiable person wreathed in a white cloak, also now had a creature hovering behind it. This one was also humanoid, but less so, with a long green snout covered in scales and full of razor-sharp teeth. It had a large mane of hair that covered most of its upper body, which was golden in color and transitioned into the grey tones of its lower body. Its body was muscular, and its equally muscular arms had golden bands on the lower part. Its claws looked sharp and serrated, and they seemed primed to rip anything that got in its way to shreds. A long green tail sprouted from the creature's lower back, and it lashed back and forth from time to time.

These two creatures were known as Stands.

The two people's standoff, now with their Stands, continued for a few moments longer. Then, in a lull caused by the flippant wind stopping for just a second, one of them made a move.

The unknown figure's Stand lunged forward, it's maw wide open, it's claws ready to tear into its opponent. In response, the contents in the crystal ball held by the young woman's Stand swirled faster and turned a light pink. Then the ball started glowing, and something began to materialize in front of the young woman, intercepting the blow aimed at her.

The new creature, also a Stand, was now holding the other Stand's arm in a vice grip, and the opposing Stand made a strange sound, something between a growl and a hiss. The new, yet familiar Stand to certain people in the world, seemed to be made entirely of muscle, its skin a light pink. It wore forearm-length gloves, with its thumb bandaged, a garter belt-like band and ankle-high footwear that were all black and studded. Four short spikes lined the top of its upper back. The creature's shoulders, back of its hands, its belt buckle, a plate hanging from the belt, both sides of its ankles and the top of its feet bore a golden emblem of a skull similar to the creature's head, which had cat ear-like shapes on the sides of its head and no nose. The creature's eyes were a light red, with light blue, vertically slit pupils that glared at the opponent in front of it, its tight-lipped mouth closed in a thin line.

Then, the Stand spoke.

"You're going to have to try harder than that to get to my user."

Hello readers! Luna here! And yes, I am finally back! And hopefully, I'll be here to stay ^_^

I am very excited to share with you this new story, and I plan on hopefully updating every week. As you can probably tell, this is a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fanfic. I'll be setting up a few rules, however:

1. This is going to be an AU. Well, kind of. The events of JJBA that have been animated so far (this includes the newest edition, Golden Wind) will have happened and influence the story at certain points. Other JJBA parts will not have happened in this story.

2. I haven't really watched the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime parts. I mean, I've seen videos on YouTube that have been about them, so I get the gist of things, but that's about it. I'll most likely be searching things up as I go, but if I make any mistakes (which I hope I don't ^_^;), I'd be amazing if you guys would let me know ^_^

3. This story takes place during 2018, and it will mainly follow and be in the POV of my OC. I'll make sure that the animated JoJo's will make their appearances, but they won't be in every single chapter. Hopefully that won't be too much of a problem ^_^;

4. Do give me constructive criticism and feedback in general. I would really like to see how people will view this new fanfic of mine ^_^ I do not want any mean and/or rude reviews, even though I'll most likely still receive some as the story unfolds. If you don't like my fanfic, the solution is simple: you don't have to read it!

5. I do not, and will not, ever own JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I do not take credit for JJBA, and all rights go to their respective owners.

And that's about it! I can't wait to get this show on the road, and I hope you will join me ^_^ Peace! (:-)
