It's a quiet morning in the city of Norfolk Virginia. As birds fly over the beach one can see a refinery in the middle of the ocean owned by the Speedwagon Foundation that aids in Navy operations.

People go to work and live out their life unknowingly living among many...bizzare phenomena. A young highschool student by the name Joshu Journey is sleeping in his bed sprawled out, in his boxers, snoring as his mom slams the door open

"Joshu wakeup! You already missed the bus!"

Joshu flails around, falling out of bed looking around for his clothes. Hopping around putting shoes on and suddenly thinks for a moment why he's even rushing at this point when it registers he missed the bus.

"Wait, just how am I supposed to get to school if I missed the bus ma?"

"How do you think? I'm taking you"

The dread in Joshu's face makes him draw pale. Being seen dropped off by his mom to school is a death sentence to his street cred!

He tells himself it'll be fine as noone will see him driving up. But many students do in fact recognize him coming up the steps out of his mom's car. One girl whispers to another "Is that Joshu? Does he seriously still have his mommy drive him to school?"

The other girl whispers back "isn't it kind of stupid to be judging a boy on his mom taking him to school? I mean all a bus proves is our lack of financial fitness or stable family life. i know my mom can't drive me cause she had her license taken away from DUIs."

"Stop trying to rationalize our social alienating process Karen! Just vaguely giggle so he does most of the judgement on himself."

Both giggle and Josh feels even more defeated. As he's walking to his class he gets smacked in the back of the head by a football.

"Oops, sorry about that my man!"

Joshu peers through his side and its Bryan Adams. One of the school's athletes just playing around with some of the football team before class starts. Joshu grits his teeth despising Bryan because him as well as all the other jocks always get the girls and perks.

"I wish I had some way to show them all...to have my retribution!"

He goes to class and it's boring and monotonous. He keeps looking at the clock and swears sometimes the hand goes backward just to aggravate him. As he groans at how tremendously slow time is going the teacher notices.

"Am I boring you Joshu?"

'What? Oh no no, I was just..."

"Oh, so than what was I just getting done talking about?"

"Well you were..." Joshu starts to panic, sweating profusely knowing he completely spaced out and wasn't paying attention to a single word the teacher said. Suddenly he notices some creepy kid outside in a trenchcoat looking around suspiciously.

Joshu thinks to himself what the heck is that kid doing, but as the teacher's voice grows louder and more agitated he says to himself "screw it, I hope it is a school shooter..."

Suddenly he notices the trench coat kid pulls a crossbow out of his backpack at aims in their direction

Josh screams and panics ducking as the arrow shatters the window and shoots one of his classmates in the head making him fall out of his sleep. Bryan Adams.

Joshu tries to hide his grin at this sudden lucky turn of events as all the students want to make a commotion out of fear and the teacher tells them to calm down and they all huddle around Adams as they pull the arrow out of his head checking to see if he's alright and he says he feels fine that it was just an arrow so the window probably deflected most of its power. The teacher still insists they call an ambulance as well as the police and by than the student has disappeared.

Adams is helped up by other students and Joshu can't help but want to get to the bottom of who that guy was. It leaves a sinking feeling in his chest.

As police come and investigate, taking the arrow in as evidence. Adams insists that he's fine and in fact actually feels refreshed. "Like I just won next week's game" and winks at some girls who scream with joy and Joshu grumbles. But being smart blurts out

"You're in no condition to play! For all we know you might have a concussion!"

The teacher says "For once Joshu is right. You need to go to the hospital and they need to do x-rays."

Adams is aware at this point Joshu is just trying to prevent Adams from playing and gives him a death glare. Joshu gets scared, whistling non-chalantly.

The week goes by and Adams was forced into hospital care. On the bus Adams gets on it a few seats in front of him with one girl to his left and another to his right trying to strike conversation. Joshu frustrated, he notices Adams looks his way with that death glare but turns away ignoring him. Joshu thinks "He...he doesn't scare me! Ok yeah he totally does. what's worse is he's part of the football team so it isn't just him I'd have to deal with. The whole school could turn on me!"

As Joshu is sitting there he notices a crab crawling up his leg and freaks out trying to shake it off but it won't budge. The girls just look at him funny. "What a weirdo..." Adams just tells the girls to try and ignore him when all of a sudden a strange figure emerges from Joshu and punches the crab off his leg causing it to hit the seat in front of him and Adams flinches.

One of the girls seems concerned but Adams insures her it's just a stomach ache from the meds they gave him. Joshu sees the apparition that punched the crab too but notices both just sortof fade away and looks around.

"Noone saw that shit?!"

Everyone just tries and ignores Joshu and the girl to the left says again with her eyes closed "what a weirdo!" the one on the right mutters "I bet he'll be the next guy to shoot someone with a crossbow!"

Adams gets a concerned look on his face but leaves well enough alone until he can get Joshu alone. During lunch he does just that. Joshu sits by himself at the same tree during lunch and this time he notices Adams is sitting on the other side and keeps his voice down.

"So I guess I'm not the only one... I didn't think I was that special, but I never imagined someone like you would have this ability too."

Joshu with his sandwich in his mouth gulps it down and says "what are you on about Adams? don't you have some floozies to attend too?"

"You know full well what I'm on about weirdo! I know you saw them too! Now you're gonna tell me what yours does or else I'm gonna make your life a living hell!"

Josh looks concerned but still is massively confused

"So you DID see the crab and buff dude! What the hell was that?! What did you do?!"

"What did I do?!" Adams calms himself down

"Ok, it's clear to me you're not even fully aware of your own stand...while I was in the hospital i got visited by some guys who said they were with the Speedwagon Foundation. They ran some tests on me and once I mentioned the arrow were certain I had what they called a stand. The arrow didn't hit you so I don't know how you got one."

Joshu thinks to himself "what is Adams talking about? Stands? Is that what those were? Was that thing that punched out the crab his stand? If it was that's pretty cool. Coolest thing that ever happened in his life! And to think this football players stand was just some creepy little ocean crab!"

Adams looks at the clouds as says "I didn't spend a week at the hospital. I spent a week letting myself get all sorts of tests to learn about these stand things. You think I like constantly having to be on edge on my sports career? Having to juggle decent grades and score points just to keep everyone's affection? As soon as I slip up those girls will stop talking to me. My parents will ignore me. The only thing separating someone like me from a loser like you is my attentiveness."

Joshu looks kind of annoyed at him "was that supposed to be a compliment orrrr"

"I don't know who shot me and frankly I don't care. Hes a guardian angel as far as I'm concerned. You know my parents beat the shit out of me? I got hair on my balls but still whince whenever they're in a bad mood. I don't say anything because what's the point? I'm afraid of living out on my own. They pay for the roof over my head. Where else would i go? What would I do? so many sleepless nights thinking about how I'm stuck like this. And my only way out is through a scholarship."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because weirdo, it isn't right. All our life people tell us we aren't entitled to anything. That we're shit. We get banned online for having our own opinion, people bully and spread rumors about us if we fall out of good graces, nothing is free, but when we want some payback suddenly we are bad people. I don't think that's right no matter who it happens too. Even some dork like you."

"You know you could start by not calling me names..."

"Sorry. Look, after school I want you to show me that stand of yours again."

Adams gets up and snatches the rest of Joshu's sandwich.

"What a jackass! When I figure out just what the hell a stand is imma use it to knock him out sense that arrow apparently failed too! But than what the hell was that arrow? And how come that one student just shot it blindly at our window? Why didn't I get hit but apparently still have this stand thing?"
