Anyway please enjoy this chapter and like always leave a review before you leave.
(Start Chapter 2)
Jojo found himself in what looked like a battle a he looked around wondering what was going on. As he looked he saw a storm was going on as he opened his eyes and saw what looked like Max fighting another Stand User as the two Stands were sending punches at each other. "PHOTOBOOTH!" Max called as Photobooth charged at the enemy Stand.
"PERFECT STORM!" The opponent called as the two Stands began to send punches at each other.
"ORO! ORO! ORO! ORO!" Max's Stand Photobooth called out as it sent punches at Perfect Storm.
"MURA! MURA! MURA! MURA!" the Stand Known as Perfect Storm called out as Jojo was shocked to see that Max had improved with her Stand but something wasn't right here he just couldn't place his finger on it. Jojo then began getting up as he tried to summoned Under Pressure but before he could do so he fell his body fall as he then felt his head getting hit before he woke up.
(Waking World)
"Wake up Jojo we're here." Max said as Jojo's head was laying against the dashboard as he removed the beanie rom his eyes and got up.
"Jojo? Is that short for something?" Chloe asked as Jojo looked to her.
"It's short for Joshua John." Joshua said as Chloe looked.
"Oh I get it because both names start with 'Jo,' makes total sense." Chloe said as they soon got out of the car to which Chloe began heading to her front door and began unlocking the door. "Come on in don't be shy." Chloe said as Jojo looked to them.
"Hope your offering drinks." Jojo said as Chloe smirked a bit.
"We'll see super tall Jojo." Chloe said as Jojo looked at her with his normal expression since he knew he was tall for his age but he also knew Chloe as only making jokes. Jojo of course knew he might be the tallest student in his class, though Jojo was hoping once he reaches old age he would start shrinking so he wouldn't have to have parts of his head cut off in some photos.
"The house still looks... nice." Max said as Jojo then looked to Max.
"Home shit home." Chloe said as Jojo caught that.
"Hey Max... have you thought of a name for your Stand yet?" Jojo asked as Max looked to him.
"I only found out about him... it today I can't just give him a name right off the bat it needs to fit him." Max said as since her Stand was apparently her fighting spirit giving physical or somewhat physical form she needed a name that fits it.
Jojo then picked up the photo that Max had taken as he had snagged it when Max wasn't looking surprising her. "You know this photo is pretty good in no way was it photo shopped since it was taken on a Polaroid, if you think about it, it could very well be part of a Photobooth collage." Jojo said hoping to give Max an idea to which Max heard that last part.
"Wait what did you say?" Max asked seeing Jojo holding the butterfly photo.
"Photobooth?" Jojo asked as Max thought about it as something about that word seemed to click.
"Photobooth..." Max said as if on cue her Stand appeared behind her as if Max had called it as it looked to Max.
"Seems your Stand likes that name." Jojo said as Photobooth gave a thumbs up.
"Ok then... your name is Photobooth." Max said as the now identified Photobooth nodded before returning to Max's soul or wherever Stands go to when not needed.
"Now then let's go catch up with Chloe." Jojo said as Max nodded before they began entering the house.
Jojo gotten a quick look around as he walk through the door, the first part of the house, looks a bit run down, like it hasn't been keep tidy up as much, but at least it's not falling apart.
Chloe was up the stairs already and said, "Hurry up you two, I don't want to be keep waiting."
Max nods and said, "Sorry." She went up the stair follow by Jojo as they came up to Chloe's room as Jojo could guess with the door looking a bit beat up.
Chloe opens the door and walk through with Max and Jojo coming in as well with Chloe saying, "My room looks a bit different than the last time you saw it Max."
"It's cool. At least we can chill out," Max said to her as she looked around thinking something of the line, for Jojo to him it almost look like a white trash kind of room than a bedroom or a chill out area.
"This isn't exactly my "chill out zone"... my step-father makes sure of that," Chloe said to Max as Jojo caught on to that as well as it seem Chloe step-father could be or is an abusive type of a man.
He would have ask if Chloe step-father is one, but they hardly know each other and could cause more trouble than helping as well getting on the wrong side of things with Chloe.
"Come on in and close the door, "Chloe said to them as Jojo shut it for Max and get a look around the room himself more as he sees band poster on the wall, not his favorite kind ether, also seeing cans, bottles, and other junk he did not want to know where they came from.
Chloe pulled out a cigarette or what looks like one as she said, "Put on some music while I medicate."
Chloe lit it as Jojo said as he saw it, "Smoking bad for your heath you know?"
Chloe piff and said, "Mind your own business. I'll do what I like to do."
Jojo just gave her small good advice and she just throw it back in his face but he didn't mind it and keep his neutral look as he keep looking around the room for a moment.
Max looked around the room for the moment as she saw Chloe's stereo but didn't see much for music to play as she keep looking even looking at the desk where she thought it shallow her music, and then she saw the missing person poster of Rachel, as she thought, 'So it was Chloe who printed all those flyers..."
Soon enough Max looked under the bed and found a box of sort, as she open it and found one C.D. at last and it seem to be a mix music disk. Jojo looked at the stereo before choosing to ignore it as Joshua looked around to find anything interesting. Jojo then looked to Max and saw her looking through the metal box and pulling out a photo on a girl Joshua assumed was Rachel. Joshua looked as well and got that feeling again as he swore he had seen Rachel somewhere before and with all the hairs on his neck standing on end Jojo knew something about Rachel wasn't right.
"Hey give me that!" Chloe called snatching the photo out of Max's hands.
"Sorry. I wasn't to trying to be nosey. Obviously she was a good friend." Max said as Jojo saw this with Chloe putting her hand to her head.
"That's putting it mildly." Chloe said as she looked depressed.
"That was Rachel Amber wasn't it?" Joshua asked as he looked to Chloe. "I've only been here for a day and I already can't escape her posters in Blackwell." Joshua said holding his neutral look.
"Yeah, I put them up... she was my Angel. After my dad died and Max here moved, I felt abandoned. Rachel saved my life." Chloe said as Jojo looked at her.
"You aren't the only one who felt that way and I doubt you'll be the last." Joshua said as he sat on a chair while Max sat next to Chloe.
"Maybe, but still doesn't make it feel better ether," Chloe said to him as Jojo said to her, "Maybe but that don't mean you have to be alone ether."
Chloe thought for a moment and kind of agree with Jojo but she didn't want to show it, and with Max says to her, "Man, I had no idea."
"Well you never made much effort to find out. I was 14, we were best friends," Chloe said to max as when she left, Chloe was all by herself it seem and her step father didn't help at all.
Max wanted to show she still cares about Chloe as she said to her, "I never forgot. Even if I was an asshole and didn't keep in touch. But you had Rachel..."
"Rachel had my back. We were gonna kick the world's ass. You would laugh at how different we were... she wanted to be a star," Chloe said as with Max relies something as Rachel didn't look much like Chloe is if they share idea of things.
"She looks like a model," Max pointed out as Chloe smile as she said, "that was her plan. Our plan. Get the hell out of Bigfootville, and into Los Angeles."
"So what happened? Did your folks, your mom, try to stop you?" Max asked as it seem they would have done it already.
"My mom was too busy hooked up with Sergeant Shithead," Chloe said to her as Jojo caught the word, 'Sergeant' as he can guess as he said, "Your step father was military?"
Chloe laugh a bit and said, "Yea, he was in that one war of terror, but afterword I think he got too much sand in his fucking head."
Now Jojo is slowly understand, but he can't really confirm it yet, and he didn't want to ask personal question at all with Max saying, "I feel the love..." max can tell how much Chloe is hating her step-father but she want to get back on track as she asked her friend, "Now, when did Rachel actually disappear?"
"6 months ago. She just... left Arcadia. Without a word. without... me," Chloe said as Jojo maybe starting to see something here as well, as if Chloe could be or is in love with Rachel Amber.
"Hmm strange and that's coming from a guy who's used to Bizarre things happening." Joshua said as he looked at this. "Chloe... would Rachel ever leave and not tell you anything or at least sent a post card?" Jojo asked Chloe looked to Joshua.
"Of course not she would tell me anything, and most of all she would send a post card after letting me know she would be away." Chloe said as Joshua remembered the picture.
"I think something may have happened to her something really bad." Joshua said as he sat on the chair.
"Good then we're on the same page." Chloe said as Joshua looked at her.
"Anything happened to her before she left anything we don't know?" Joshua asked as Chloe looked to Jojo.
"Before Rachel left, she said she met somebody who changed her life... then poof." Chloe said as Max was surprised.
"Like everybody in my life. My dad, you... and Rachel. Gone... Can you put on some music now?" Chloe asked as Joshua looked to her.
Max of course got up and put the CD into the Stereo turning it on as Joshua soon heard guitar music playing from it. Jojo wasn't much of a music fan other than of J-pop and J-Rock. But as Jojo looked at the room he couldn't help but see similarities to his own back at New York. As Joshua looked around he was trying to think of that girl and Max. He knew the Speedwagon Foundation would know about her in a heartbeat after all they found out about him barely three days after he gained his Stand, Under Pressure.
But Joshua knew the only person who can help Max master her Stand it Jotaro Kujo who is currently studying Marine Biology back in Japan. Joshua knew he would eventually have to call up the Speedwagon Foundation so they can help out Max. As Joshua looked to Chloe he shrugged as he looked at Max's Polaroid on the desk.
"If I ever need a photo quick I'm using a Polaroid." Joshua said to himself as it may be old but the Polaroid is his go to camera in most cases.
"Anyways...You can find tools to fix your camera in the garage..." Chloe told Max where the tools are but keep to her bed instead of showing where.
Max is worry about her friend as she said, "Chloe, are you okay?"
"Sure, I'm awesome. I just want to blaze and be alone for a moment, you can walk around if you want Jojo, I know there is something to drink in the kitchen," Chloe said to them as she did wanted to be alone, as Joshua didn't want to spend too much time in a room that slowly build up with a smoke he don't want to breath in.
Max nods as she understand her friend want to be alone, as she walk to the do with Jojo their already as he open it for her as she walked out and he followed and close the door behind him.
Max step to the side and lean against the wall for a moment as she said, "I can't believe how much Chloe has change."
Joshua look to her and said, "Sometimes people change, for the better or the worst, we can't chance of who they are already, as sometimes it's better to focus on the person you want to be yourself."
Max understood as she lean there for the moment, waiting until she feels like it, as for Joshua he just went down stair to the kitchen, to the fridge, as he open and see what is inside for him to drink.
Some beers, but he can't drink, some milk, which is low, and some sodas at least as he grab a can of Cola as he open it and took a drink of it and let off with a 'Aww!'
It good soda for him as he never gotten one while on the road as he was stuck with water and coffee drinks to keep hydrated and keep him awake long to get where he needed to go.
Max did come down and headed to the garage as Jojo give it some thought, as Max haven't been here for 5 years, and maybe a lot of things been moved around, or change, he decided to go and help her find the tools she is looking for.
Setting the soda down for a moment and headed out to help, as he sees Max going throw a few things and then open a top cabinet, as Jojo saw a video camera and what looks like a map of the school.
Jojo walk in as Max stood there for a moment and thought, 'Wowser, a map of Blackwell Academy. I wonder why.'
Jojo got a closer look at the map itself as he saw circles on the map and, and the video scene itself. Jojo the opened the cabinet and turned on the TV inside as he saw video surveillance of the house as Jojo cursed. If this guy was paranoid then he needed to help out a bit. Jojo then did a few things causing the Camera's to freak out for a bit as luckily they seemed to have lost the data recorded. Sure it might be retrievable but cameras do lose data now and again if the data already stored becomes too large.
'Someone is Paranoid... or maybe he has a reason to be paranoid.' Jojo thought as he looked at map. 'If I know one thing then it's that Rachel is involved somehow. Jojo then looked and saw Max pull down some photos bit Jojo already knew what was going to happen and acted. "Under Pressure." Jojo invoked as Under Pressure appeared and did what it needed to do.
"ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!" Under Pressure called out as he grabbed each paper to keep them from falling and getting damaged.
"Wow thanks Jojo I have serious Butter Fingers." Max said as Jojo looked at them.
"Max why didn't you use your Stand?" Jojo asked as he looked.
"Sorry I just thought that maybe I could reach." Max said as Jojo looked.
"Yes but your Stand Photobooth is a mid-class B in Speed plus with its time abilities it could have caught them all with ease." Jojo said as Max was getting confused.
"Well these are useless papers they belong on the floor." Jojo said as he dropped them onto the oil stain which Max knew that if Chloe's dad sees that they all would be in trouble.
"PHOTOBOOTH!" Max called out as Photobooth appeared and already knew what it needed to do.
"ORO! ORO! ORO! ORO!" Photobooth repeated as it caught each paper and photo with ease revealing its speed was a high class B at worse and a mid-Class A at best. Max was shocked as Photobooth offered the file to Max who carefully took it and opened it to reveal to her shock Kate.
"That's Kate... why is the Security Guard spying on her?" Jojo asked as Max looked worried.
"I don't know." Max said as Jojo looked figured he might as well bring it up.
"Max what do you know about the Speedwagon Foundation?" Jojo asked as Max looked.
"Not much except there a research group who look into the unexplained and have a shit load of money." Max said as Jojo looked.
"It's more than that, they research Stands and Bizarre things, and they also act as a Help Group for Stand Users who recently discovered their Stands. Plus in the event of Stand Users who would use their powers to harm others they act as a police force, fight Stand with Stand." Joshua said as Max had to assume Jojo had a reason for telling her this.
"Ok but why tell me?" Max asked as Jojo looked.
"Simple I think you should give them a call. They are probably the only people who can help you learn how to use your Stand and better control it." Jojo said as he helped Max look for the tools. "Just like how they helped me and saved me... from myself." Jojo said as Max looked confused especially when he gained a sad look.
"Jojo..." Max said as Jojo soon regained his neutral look.
"No don't worry about it, it's in the past don't like dwelling on it either." Jojo said as he helped Max look.
"Right, I'm sorry for bringing it up," Max said as she went back looking for the small tools as she said, "You think you can help me a bit, I can't figure out where Chloe, step-dad keeps anything."
Jojo looked around and said, "Sure, don't have anything to do here anyways but help."
Joshua and Max looked around as Jojo found a maybe tool cabinet that is wide open, as he found a light switch and turn it on and found out it was a gun storage area as Jojo sees many gun, and one empty handgun slot as he could assume a few things that, Chloe step-dad is packing heat, or someone took it, as he could guess maybe that Nathan kid as he had a gun on him, but no connection to be made as the empty handgun slot is above where a revolver sits, and the rest is semi-automatic, and if the guy want to be organize he would keep different types of gun in different places than the others.
Turn off the light and leave the rest alone as he went on looking, as look above as sometimes people tool stuff high up for reason, and then he spotted something above a washer machine as he said, "I believe I found them."
Max turn to him and look where he looking and saw a small tool box container as she said, "I think those can work, now how can we get them down?" Max looked around for a stool as Jojo looks at her and said, "Try your stand, sometimes brining out your stand is good practice in itself."
Max didn't really think of using her abilities more, but if something did happen on accidently or purposely she guess she would need to learn out to use her ability to its fullest, or enough to fight or help someone.
Max took a breath and said, "PHOTOBOOTH!"
Photobooth showed up and grab the small tool container from on top of the washer machine in a blink of an eye, and put it in Max's hand as she said, "Thank you."
Her stand nods before it vanish back into Max, as she held the tools and looked at them before she said, "Yes, I have mad stills."
"As I said to you before, a Novice. Just because you can summon your stand doesn't mean you have fully master it, as it take more than a simple spar, or name giving. I took sometime before I understood 'Under Pressure' true abilities and how to use them properly, and yet someone said to me I have yet tab into its full potential."
Max look to him as she asked, "Could you… or can you?"
Jojo shrugs and said, "It all depend on the user or stand abilities itself, I did try to understand what he meant, and with it I did unlock another abilities, but that for another time."
Jojo started to walk away back to the kitchen where he put his drink down as he said, "Also if you truly do want to learn how to use your stand, the Speedwagon Foundation is your best shot."
Max hug her arms a bit and said, "Could you teach me instead though? I don't know how confinable I am of asking people who I thinking would poke needles at me."
Jojo turn to her and said, "Trust me when I say, I'm not a good teacher when it comes to stands as I learn thing differently and do things differently as well. Just think on it."
Max took a moment before she said, "Alright I'll think about it."
"Alright but fair warning they will eventually find out about you and depending on what you did before then will probably have some major effects later." Jojo said as Max looked at Joshua dryly.
"Well that's comforting." Max said dryly to which Joshua looked.
"Come on your girlfriend is probably wondering what is taking us so long." Jojo said with his neutral look as Max ended up blushing in embarrassment at that comment.
"W-wait." Max stuttered but to her hock Jojo was already ahead of her. "Hey wait up!" Max called as she saw Jojo walk up ahead.
(Later back in Chloe's room)
Jojo walked in as he saw Chloe laying on the bed still as Jojo saw a window was open which meant no smoke smell. Jojo may look like a punk you don't want to fuck with but drugs is the only thing he won't do... well that and sexual harassment but that's another story. Joshua looked around the room as Max walked over to Chloe as Chloe noticed Max and looked. "You found the tools? Sweet. You can sit at my desk and fix your camera." Chloe said as Max nodded and began working on fixing her camera.
Jojo meanwhile pulled out his smart phone and grabbed his ear buds and began listening to the Song by Queen's Under Pressure which was actually where he got the name for his Stand from. As Jojo listened he sat against the wall and just waited as Joshua hoped Max would be able to fix her camera, though if her Camera can't be fixed he would have an excuse to have her call the Speedwagon Foundation since if Joshua was right they still give young Stand Users full scholarships and such to any school they desire to go to if their grades are satisfactory and they have enough control of their Stand to keep it on the down low unless push comes to shove.
As Jojo sat there he looked to Chloe as she was still on her bed as Max worked on her camera. Joshua wasn't a teacher hell he wasn't even a mentor, he had a bit of a checkered past in New York and multiple run-ins with the law. Hell he actually got kicked out of some schools over in New York but when he gained his Stand he took things to the worse as he took down any punk who messed with him. That was when he met that man, Jotaru Kujo the man who had royally kicked his ass and from what Joshua gathered the third Jojo.
Hell it was because of that man and the fact the first two letters of his first and last name was Jo. Thought Jotaru ended up going back to Japan to study marine biology but Joshua had to admit Jotaru's Stand Star Platinum, The World was a lot like Max is ability. If Joshua could get into contact with Jotaru somehow maybe he can help Max with her Stands' Ability somehow. As Joshua sat down he then looked over to Max and saw her getting frustrated as that wasn't a good sign for Max who was fixing her Camera and still didn't fully understand her own Stand. Joshua was ready in case he needed to restrain Max with Under Pressure so she doesn't do something Bizarre like tear a hole in time or something like that.
As Max keep up with her tinkering with her camera, trying to fix the damage but it seem too much damage was done and Max can't fix it at this point at all as she drop the tool and wipe her head as Chloe saw this as she got off her bed and walk over as she put down the ash tray said to her, "So?"
"I can't fix this thing," Max said as she just giving up on it now as Jojo took out an ear piece to hear what going on as Chloe saw the photo that Max had in front of her as she said, "Are these your new photos?"
"Yeah… I just took them today," Max said as Chloe grab one and said, "Let me see."
First one she grab was a blue butterfly photo as Chloe recognize the background as she said, "wait... I've seen this before. No way! When did you take this?"
Max started to panic a bit as she saw Chloe is about to make a connection as she said to max, "YOU took this photo, you brat!"
Jojo didn't know what Chloe could do if she is upset with Max or proud of her with her tone of voice, but then again he did have the other piece in his ear as he removed and hears Chloe said, "In the bathroom today... You set off the alarm! That's why Nathan raged after you... It totally makes sense."
"The punk in the parking lot with the gun I took down then?" Jojo said as he didn't want to blow his cover he was there as well but to spy on Max of her abilities.
"Yea, and by the way, way fucking cool how you did it, which by the way, how did you know he had the gun?" Chloe asked as Max started to fear for Jojo as it seem he is a newly friend to her, even telling her about her abilities.
Jojo was relax and said, "When you lived on a bad street and sees punks like the one at the parking lot, I don't take chances of things. I search for them and get rid of them fast."
Max didn't believe she is hearing, but for Chloe she just smile and said, "That badass, but where did you live before?"
"New York," Jojo said as Chloe gave a small laugh and said, "If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere, I guess that applies to stuff like that in the parking-lot?"
Jojo tilted his head a bit and said, "That and more, but anyhow, what happen in the bathroom, as I take it something went down?"
Chloe nods and said, "Yea, Nathan Prescott, whack job guy, with shit going in his head, as it seem I took thing maybe too far, the guy pull a gun you throw away, and… she hella saved my life, by pulling that fire alarm."
She looked over to Max on that last part and then Chloe said to her, "Now tell me the truth Max."
Max seem a bit hesitated but she can't hid it as she said, "I was there... Hiding in the corner."
Chloe seem surprise as she didn't see Max in there at all as she said, "Damn, you're a ninja."
"Or an assassin," Joshua said as he had to emit he didn't know what Max was at the time, but added that part in for fun as Chloe agree to that as Max said, "A ninja or assassin would have cut Nathan's head off or stab him in the back. I just took a butterfly photo..."
"That is so badass," Chloe said smiling at that but what made Joshua laugh a bit as he hear Max say, "Oh yeah, I almost wet myself when I saw the gun..."
"So, did you recognize me?" Chloe asked as Max never saw her new look until later in the parking lot as Max Comment, "I wasn't sure..."
"I know. I look a lot different," Chloe said about her look as Jojo didn't know what she looked like before but if he had to guess, not so much punk ass girl.
"I was scared, too. I couldn't see straight," Max said as Chloe nods as she said, "I don't blame you, Max."
"It's been that kind of day then?" Jojo asked as Chloe just shrugs at that and said to max, "So you must have overheard our conversation..."
"Should I put my music in for this part?" Jojo said as Chloe look over to him and wave him off meaning 'do what you like, don't care', and Joshua didn't.
"Just a bit," Max said even though she hear it at least one or twice before with her stand abilities to turn back time.
"There is no way you didn't hear every single vowel," Chloe said stating it as a fact.
"Okay, I only heard something about money... drugs... but that's it," Max told her as Chloe then said to her, "Now for the big question: Did you tell anybody?"
"Like who?" Max said to her as Chloe said to her, "Like anybody! Stop stalling, sister."
"The Principal... but he didn't seem to believe me," Max told Chloe shake her head a bit and said, "The principal? Are you still twelve? That drunk jackass only cares about cash for Blackwell Academy... Don't trust him."
"Hm, I guess I did smell something on his breath when I came to his office, even his words seem to caring," Jojo said as Chloe nods and said, "Even the new guy knew something is up with him."
"I didn't mention you at all. Swear," Max said to Chloe sighed in relief as she said, "Thank god... I'll tell you more someday, and I seriously owe you, Max."
Chloe thought for a moment, before she said anything, she went to her bookshelves and look for something as Max stood up from the desk as Chloe found what she was looking for as she said, "I, er, know it was your birthday last mouth..."
Chloe kind of stall on her words as she had something in her hand that she seem hesitated to give up, but she turn around to face Max and she held in her hand, as more nicer Polaroid camera than what Max has now as Chloe held it over to her as she said, "This was my real father's camera... I want you to have it."
"That's so cool that you remembered my birthday. But I can't take this." Max said as she took the camera but tried to return it which Chloe tried to push back into Max's hands.
"Of course you can. My dad would be pissed if I never used it. And now I know it will be used awesomely. And I'll snag this picture as a symbol of our reunion. Cool?" Chloe said as she took the butterfly picture from the desk.
"Yes of course it's cool! Thank you... this camera is so sweet." Max said as Joshua sat by the wall.
"Now that we got that mushy shit out of the way, I feel like stage diving!" Chloe said as she blasted some punk rock from her stereo.
"You're crazy." Max said as Joshua smirked.
"Yepyep, I'm fucking insane in the brain! Let's dance! Shake that boney white ass!" Chloe said as she began to dance a bit. "You two tall, brooding, and bad ass!" Chloe said as Jojo smirked at this.
"That's not crazy and this is coming from a guy whose see really bizarre things plus I'm not much of a dancer." Jojo said as he sat there and just enjoyed he music even though it wasn't J-rock.
"Ok then Max if you're not going to dance then take my picture with your new camera." Chloe said as she jumped on her bed and began to dance. Max smiled before taking out her new Polaroid Camera and took a picture of the dancing Chloe. "This song fucking rules! Can't dance, hippie, and tough guy? Come on! Rawk out you two." Chloe said as Joshua just kept sitting while Max began to dance.
"Sorry I don't dance." Joshua said as Max was dancing.
"Yes! Break it down, Max!" Chloe said as Max danced.
That was when a new voice was heard as Joshua recognized the tone that was used.
"Chloe, are you up there?" Came a voice as that made Chloe wide eyed.
"Yo, turn it off, turn it off!" Chloe called a she made a gesture for Max to cut the sound.
"How many times have I told you to stop blasting that punk shit!?" The voice yelled as it was getting closer.
"Dude the music is not even on!" Chloe called as Joshua stood up. "Asshole." Chloe muttered to herself as Joshua knew that was just tempting fate right there.
"I'm coming up we need to talk!" The voice called as Joshua knew they had to hide.
"Max... hide." Joshua said as Max was shocked.
"Wait what?" Max asked as Joshua looked.
"That closes will only fit one of us so with that in mind the smaller out of us should go there." Joshua said as Max looked.
"What about you?" Max asked as Joshua did a small smile.
"Don't worry about me I can handle this after all I can defuse the situation like nothing." Joshua said as Max nodded.
Max went to the closet and tried to move it but the door would not budge to which Joshua knew what would happen. When Max moved the door stuff began to fall down as Joshua knew it would be in the way. "Under Pressure." Jojo said under his breath as Under Pressure appeared and punched his fists together creating a gravity sphere which stopped the boxes and with Under Pressure Joshua put them back. Max saw this and hid in the closet as now it was only a matter of time before Chloe's step dad walks in.
"Chloe what are you doing?" Chloe step dad is at the door was Jojo grab a school book of Chloe real and turn to a page and place a book mark in it before closing it as he sat in a chair and turn to Chloe and give her a nod sign as Chloe sighed and open the door, as the Sargent guy came through the door as he said, "What is going on here… And who's that?"
Pointed to Jojo as Chloe said, "I was studying with a guy, anything wrong with that, or do you have to be so friggin paranoid?" "Yeah, combat will do that to you, But you didn't answer my question, who is he and what is he doing in this house, in your room?"
The guy giving a mad tone at Chloe as Jojo got up from the chair quickly and said, "I'm Joshua John, the new transfer student of Blackwell Academy, and my and your daughter were studying with my playing catch up, and you are sir?"
Jojo held out his hand to the guy in a respectful manner and adding 'sir' to the guy the man respect he would want to see as the man soften up to that and said, "David Madsen, and I know you, the nick name Jojo spread out like wild fire."
Jojo lower his hand and said, "Well your daughter (Chloe: step-daughter) has been giving me a small tour of things the school and the town, help me get around a bit and get straightened out too, and with that, I did offer to help give study with her, giving her some hint on a few things in return."
Chloe see what Jojo is doing making her look like the good person helping him out, but the problem would he convince her step-dad to believe it as soon right away as David said, "Really, just like that? You offer to help her study?"
Jojo look him in the eye and said with stern tone and said, "What I've been taught by my old man, there are debt that need to pay in full in a way or another, if Chloe didn't need me to study with her, she could have said no to me easy as my 2nd choice was paying for gas."
David look back at Jojo and Chloe and Max while she still in the closet feel the intense feeling happen between the both of them before David gave a nod and said, "Very well, I hope your old man taught you your manners?"
Jojo smile and said, "Somewhat, but mostly from my uncle, served his time in the military, like my Grandfather, and great grandfather, both serving their time in the military."
Soon enough that caught David attention and said, "Military family hu? And your grate grandfather too?"
Jojo nodded and said, "Yes sir, while my great grandfather was still alive, he told story of the time he was in WWII, surviving D-day, that day with him and many other life change that day he told me."
"Yeah I can get where he was coming from." David said to himself as he could understand that. Some of the things he saw in the Middle East wasn't exactly pretty and wish he could have unseen and or forgotten.
"After my great grandfather had passed I just has questions so I asked my grandfather who served in Vietnam and my uncle who served down in the Middle East what was the wars like what had changed their lives. They told me the same story, something they would never wish upon their worst enemies, it was cryptic at best so perhaps you could enlighten me." Joshua said as Chloe saw now what Joshua's plan was. He was basically using a sort of sob story to butter David up and save her from some major trouble for whatever shit Chloe was about to get blamed for.
"Personally I agree with them, by the sound of it it's probably better that you don't know." David said as Joshua smiled a bit.
"Yes but wouldn't it help those looking to joining the arm forces or considering it to know what they are getting into before they end up making a horrible mistake that would deeply affect their families?" Joshua said but he also knew some men and woman joined because of their families since he heard this one story of how this man joined the army to get money for his wife who had cancer only to die in action and his wife to die because of her cancer.
"Kid I can see where you come from most young men and woman should know what they are getting themselves into before joining the military, what are you considering to enlist?" David asked as Joshua turned his head.
"No I just wanted a bit of closure with my great grandfather and to understand why he was adamant about talking about it even when it was killing him inside." Jojo said as David sighed in defeat.
"Kid meet me in the kitchen I can give you the reason." David said before she left the room.
Once David was out Chloe looked to Jojo. "Ok Jojo I will say this now, you are hella like my hero now." Chloe said as Jojo shrugged.
"I just did what a lot of people fail to do. Though it wasn't a lie on my part anyway I suggest you have Max sneak out the window as of now Chloe you are currently my ride back to Blackwell." Jojo said as Max came out of the closet.
"Yeap we're basically a dynamic trio, man if you had been around when me and Max were kids you would have fit right in." Chloe said as Jojo chuckled to that before Jojo left the room.
(Scene Break after Max Snuck out the Window and the Story of War)
The trio got off the truck as Jojo got out as he yawned a bit. Car Lag was bugging him as he yawned a bit as the two got on the path to the lighthouse. Jojo agreed to go on a bit of a detour with Max and Chloe to the Lighthouse as he looked around and saw it. Chloe had went on ahead while Jojo was heading to the same path as Jojo looked to Max.
"Get the feeling you were here before?" Joshua asked as he looked around this place.
"Yeah I can't explain it but I felt like I was just here." Max said as Jojo looked around. "Like during a nightmare today." Max said as she looked around.
"I had a nightmare when we were here, it was storming, and you were fighting another Stand User." Jojo said as he looked around. "It could be your Stand Photobooth has some abilities you haven't even discovered yet, it has time Abilities so it's quite possible that it can connect to different parts of time as long as Photobooth had existed during that moment." Jojo said as he looked around. "But it's just a theory on my part since I had a similar nightmare." Jojo said as he remembered that Nightmare like the back of his hand. The only thing he didn't see was the black wearing Stand User.
"Yeah I think we had left the level of Strange and just went into Bizarre." Max said as she looked around.
"No kidding." Joshua said with a hint of sarcasm as his life had been Bizarre the day he discovered his Stand, Under Pressure. "Max." Jojo began as he looked to Max. "I think you really need to call the Speedwagon foundation soon, there the leading experts when it comes to Stands, plus I can name only one person as of now who can help you control your Stand, the man who I have in my life time come to respect, Jotaro Kujo." Joshua said as he got his nickname from Jotaro after all. "I know you may need time to think but if us having similar Nightmares is anything to go by. Right now something Bizarre is going on in town and I don't think it will be the safe and fun Bizarre either." Joshua said as he looked to Max.
"So… what do we do?" Max said as the feeling of fear creep inside of her as Jojo looked at her and said, "3 options I can give but it's up to you what to do."
Max nod to that as Jojo began to list off the options as he said, "Option one, you can run away, far away and never look back and never use your stand again."
Max turn her head a bit as she thought that would be something, she running away but she would leave her friend behind then she look back as Jojo list off another as he said, "Option 2, you can stay here and try to fight to whatever is coming but there a chance you might not be strong enough to fight against it."
Max thought for a moment, as she remember what she did with Joshua before at the school and he said it was a spar and she is a Novice a beginner so if she does stay and fight, it would be a losing battle, and then Jojo listed off the 3rd option and said, "Option 3, you call the Speedwagon foundation, request for help, and ask for Jotaro, you can even use my name to help, with this you may get the training you need and the support to help fight against this coming storm."
Max thought for a moment as she would get help with her stand as well more people to help out with Joshua alongside her but she don't know if she want to involved more people already.
Jojo pull out a piece of paper, and a pencil he had on him and wrote something down as he said, "Here's a number you can call, if they ask a question of any sort, just say Stand then you would be transfer over to someone who would hear you out."
Rip off the paper that hold the number and give it to Max as she looked at it for a bit before taking it as it's an option to have and then she said, "Thank you Jojo… I'll be sure to keep this on mind and tell you what my choice is."
Jojo nodded as that all he needs to hear as he knew it's a big step to take for anyone, with Max being new to this whole things, she'll be under pressure, no pun intended.
The two walk up the lighthouse path and see Chloe sitting on a bench look out on the horizon, as Jojo looked around he see a lot of people been up here and breaking a few law with the graffiti.
Max walked up to her and sat down next to Chloe before she looked. "You ok?" Max asked as she looked to Chloe.
"Yeah, your new friend Jojo he's pretty sick." Chloe said as Jojo sat next to Chloe and just watched the sun set. "Plus anyone who can be cool like him and keep my step douche off my back really deserves my respect." Chloe said as Jojo shrugged. "Yeah I know Jojo the way you talked him down and had him step off before he could get to any lecturing, Jesus man I bet you could have taken on the world if you wanted to." Chloe said as Jojo shrugged.
"Not really that interested in taking on the world, plus with my father's work I was able to keep a clean record not that I appreciated him butting in a lot, but I understand where David was coming from when me and him talked." Jojo said with a chuckle. "By the way Chloe question what's your opinion on David possibly getting a service animal to help him deal with his PTSD and paranoia?" Jojo asked as Chloe was surprised.
"Wait what?" Chloe asked as she didn't think the two had bonded THAT well.
"Never mind but the man seems like a good person once you take the time to get to know him you'll be surprised what he's like." Joshua said as Chloe looked skeptical.
"Dude you were awesome please don't ruin it." Chloe said as Joshua shrugged.
"Hey I come from a Military Background, though my dad never enlisted, my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my uncle all enlisted so sorry if I'm more considerate to vets." Jojo said as Chloe sighed. "Besides he wanted to talk to you about one of his missing guns he thinks you might have taken it, just giving you a heads up." Jojo said as Chloe smiled.
"Yeah thanks for the warning I'll be ready then." Chloe said as Jojo shrugged.
"Well when Jojo talked to him he seemed completely different I mean today he freaked on Kate Marsh today." Max said as Jojo looked.
"Wait pardon?" Jojo said as he didn't hear about this at all.
"Yeah I saw it and tried to step in, I should've taken a picture instead." Max said as Joshua looked.
"Max do you have Kate's phone number on you at the moment?" Joshua asked as he looked.
"Yeah why?" Max asked as Joshua had a look in his stern face that said, 'Give me the phone number and let me see if she's ok.' "Alright here it is." Max said showing the number on her phone which Jojo took out his own smart phone and copied the number down. "Which reminds me here is my number." Jojo said as he took out a piece of paper, wrote down his number, and passed it to Max.
"Thanks." She said as she took the number.
"Hmm seems the new guy might have a bit of a thing for little old Kate." Chloe said as Jojo's face started to blush as he looked away.
"Don't look to deep into it, I'm not a religious type like my mother, always made me wonder why she hooked up with my dad who believes everything has a logical explanation to it." Jojo asked as he looked to the light house.
"He so has the hot's for her." Chloe teased as Under Pressure appeared behind Jojo to Max's eyes and patted its user on the shoulder to calm him down a bit. "Anyway he has a lot of secret files. Rambo still thinks he's still gathering enemy intelligence. Did you take a peak?" Chloe asked as Jojo looked.
"Yeah we did, though I didn't care much for it but it seemed he was surveilling Kate and it seems to involve the Vortex Cult." Jojo said as Max looked.
"Don't you mean Vortex Club?" Max asked as Jojo looked as Max quickly got it. "Oh I get it now, insult how did that go over my head?" Max asked as she remember seeing a story on that at the Girls Dorm.
"Anyway he seems kind of paranoid like he's worried something bad will happen under his watch." Jojo said as he tried to take David's side a bit that some fishy shit was going on.
"He has a total Surveillance fetish. I worry there are spy cams in the house." Chloe said as Jojo coughed at that as he remember that TV Screen that he and Max found.
"I knew you didn't know! Chloe, your house is under surveillance." Max said as Chloe was surprised.
"What are you talking about?" Chloe asked as she looked to Max.
"There are Camera's all over the house. We saw it on a monitor in the garage, I was able to snag the video and erase some of it when Max was involved to cover our tracks a bit." Jojo said as you would be surprised how many times a video would get deleted when it hasn't been attended to and the memory storage gets full.
"I knew it! He is so hella fucking paranoid. I'll keep this a secret for now." Chloe said as she was clearly pissed off and didn't get along great with her father.
'Hmm even a bastard and asshole like me can see that she is going through the same thing every other girl goes through when their mother or father remarries.' Jojo thought as he chuckled at this.
"Sometimes Ignorance is bliss." Max said as Jojo chuckled.
"Maybe if she actually tried bonding with him, they wouldn't be at each other's throats." Jojo said as Chloe simple smacked the back of Jojo's head which only moved said head downward. "Fine I'll stop bringing it up for now." Jojo said as right now he saw he and Chloe were in a love hate friendship as of now.
"No wonder I'm so miserable. Everybody in this town known everybody's secrets." Chloe said as Jojo chuckled.
"Well better than the big city where no one know each other, I'd personally would like to have lived in a small town like this, though maybe more torts Nevada or Texas, but that's just me." Jojo said as he remembered visiting his mother's family there and their town was like one big extended family. God he missed those days, but then dad got a new job his mother died, and he went to juvie a couple times before he discovered his Stand.
"What's Nathan's secret?" Max asked as Jojo looked as he wanted to know himself.
"He's an elite asshole who sells bad shit cut with laxative." Chloe began as Jojo looked.
"Drugs." Joshua said as Chloe nodded before continuing.
"And he dosed me with some drugs in his room." Chloe said as unknown to them the girl in black from before was watching from the shadows of the tree line with her hands in her pocket as her visible black lipstick mouth had a sad look to it.
"What?" Max asked as she looked to this as even Jojo was surprised at this.
"I met him in some shithole bar that didn't card me. He was too rich for the place and too wasted. And he kept flashing bills." Chloe said as Jojo heard that last one.
'Please don't let that be prostitution that would be illegal right there.' Jojo said as he didn't need that anytime soon.
"Just tell me what happened, Chloe. Now." Max said as Jojo looked.
"Whatever it is it can't be that bad Chloe." Jojo said as Chloe smiled at the two.
"I was an idiot. I thought he was so blazed it would be an easy score." Chloe said as Jojo now was getting a picture of it.
"You needed money that bad?" Max asked as she was worried for her friend.
"Actually, yes. I owe big time. And I thought I'd have enough for me and Rachel if she showed up?" Rachel asked as Jojo might be able to get the Speedwagon Foundation to help if he puts in a good word for her with Max's Help.
"How much do you owe?" Max asked as she was concerned.
"Three grand plus interest. And before I could get a chunk of that from Nathan he dosed my drink with some shit." Chloe said recalling the memory. "God Chloe, I can't believe this... I mean, I do. Then what?" Max asked as she wanted to help her friend.
"I know I passed out on the floor. I woke up and with my face in this weird ass mask (Plot point here) and that perv was smiling, crawling torts me with a camera..." Chloe trailed off as Max looked.
"Go on." Max said as she needed to know so she could help Chloe.
Jojo thought it might be incentive to get Max to contact Speedwagon because not only can they help Max learn how to use her Stand but they also have more than enough money to pay off Chloe's debt plus interest and then some. "Everything was a blur... I tried to kick him in the ball and broke a lamp. Nathan freaked, so I got the weird ass mask off and I caught a glimpse it was made of stone and I swore it had fangs on the lips, anyway I managed to bum rush the door and get the hell out. Max, it was insane." Chloe said as Jojo caught the masks description.
'Why does that sound eerily familiar?' Jojo thought but chose to let it slide for now. If he sees Nathan later or gets into his dorm and finds it he can then see why.
Photobooth appeared as it began getting into a combat stance as it sent punches at thin air no doubt trying to get rid of some steam at this story. Max could agree with her stand as they were both furious. "I'm so furious I can't even speak... what did you do then?" Max asked as Under Pressure appeared and patted its time manipulating Stand on the shoulder which Max felt and the Stand calmed down a bit.
"I figured I would make him pay me to keep quiet. So we met in the bathroom." Chloe said as Jojo knew that much.
"And he brought a gun." Max said as Jojo then spoke up.
"Which I disarmed him off as said Gun might be back in his hand after he went dumpster diving." Jojo said as Chloe couldn't help but snicker at that one as Max could agree since this was a school filled with teenagers and very hormonal ones at that. They wouldn't be surprised if Nathan found a few used condoms in there.
"Well that was Nathans last mistake." Chloe said as Jojo looked.
"He sounds dangerous, I can handle him no problem. He may have his rich daddy to help him but I have powerful friends in high places. All I need to do is give them a call and they'll be on Nathan and the Prescott's asses in a heartbeat." Jojo said with a smirk as he could just picture how many incriminating things they would find on them.
"Good looks like I have a friend from New York with connections." Chloe said with sarcasm clearly unaware that Jojo was with the Speedwagon Foundation and a Stand User who had been under their supervision till he was clear to go about his day to day life.
"I won't always be there to save you, Chloe." Max said as Chloe smiled at that one.
"You were there today, Max. You saved me! I'm still tripping on that... seeing you after all these years feels like-" Chloe began as the lady in black began walking away sticking to the shadows for now unnoticed by them all.
"Destiny?" Max asked as Jojo chuckled.
"I don't believe in that, I think we make our own destiny." Jojo said as Chloe leaned forward as Max then put her hand on Chloe's back.
Chloe then stood up as she went closer to the edge as Max followed soon after and topping it off was Joshua as the three looked to the sun set. Jojo smiled as this sunset was one of a kind to him, one you could only find in places like Arcadia Bay. "Jojo, Max if we make our own destiny then... I hope we can find Rachel. I miss her you two." Chloe said as she really did miss her friend. "This shit-pit had taken away everyone I ever loved... I'd like to drop a bomb on Arcadia Bay and turn it to fucking glass." Chloe said as that surprised both Max and Jojo a bit as they looked to her as Jojo may not show it but that was concerning.
The two Stand Users then felt off as they stumbled back as Jojo was grabbing his head like he had a headache while as Max was the same as Jojo he felt that his Stand Under Pressure also felt it somehow.
(Inside their vision)
"What?" Jojo asked as he looked around and saw he was in the storm again.
"Oh no not again!" Jojo soon heard as the two looked and Jojo saw Max while Max saw Jojo.
"Why are we here together this time?" Jojo asked as Max looked around.
"Space and Time are always connected it's the fundamental law of the universe." Came a voice that Jojo recognized.
"What?" Jojo asked as the two saw a girl their age as she looked at them with her hood up and her hands in her pocket. Jojo looked closely and saw part of her neck and saw what looked to be some sort of scar there.
"I bet you're wondering, Max why is; this happening to you? And Jojo you probably think why are you here?" The girl asked as she looked to them. "If you want to know a few things follow me but I will tell you this, Jojo, you're just an extra in the grand scheme of things." The girl said as she began leading the two as following her was a spectral doe.
As the trio walked they soon saw a large boulder coming their way as the girl wasn't fazed. "PERFECT STORM!" The girl invoked as soon the Stand from the school appeared as it roared.
"MURAMURAMURAMURAMURA!" Perfect Storm invoked as it punched its way through the boulders and any assaulting hazards.
"What?! She's a Stand User?!" Jojo called as Max was also shocked.
"Wait is this her Stand's ability mind games?!" Max asked as the girl chuckled.
"No Perfect Storm's ability well you learn of it soon, but just follow you two will like what's to come." The girl said as the two followed close behind her.
The two soon arrived at the lookout spot as the Light house was about to give but Perfect Storm didn't stop it this time as Jojo was shocked. "Under Pressure!" Jojo invoked as Under Pressure appeared and punched its fists together before creating a gravity sphere at the falling lighthouse before Max stepped in.
"PHOTOBOOTH!" She called out as Photobooth appeared.
"ORO!" Photobooth called out as it raised its hand and rewind just as the light house was falling.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Under Pressured stepped in as it began punching its way through the Light House before turning it to dust.
The girl in black chuckled as she looked at them with a smirk. "Impressive seems Space and Time do go hand in hand after all one can't exist without the other." The girl said as Perfect Storm was right behind her with its arms crossed.
"Enough of your games who are you!" Joshua demanded as the girl chuckled.
"Won't matter soon, just look at that newspaper over there." She said pointing her finger with a claw painted black as the nail as the two looked. They saw the newspaper was stuck to a pole as they walked over to it and picked up the newspaper before they began reading it as they were shocked at what they found. "October 11th? It's this Friday! That's only four days away!" Max said as the girl chuckled before the newspaper flew away.
"So Jojo for your own good I suggest you leave and get out of dodge before the Storm hits otherwise I can't promise you that you'll live." She said as Jojo glared.
"You did something to cause this didn't you, you did this with your Stand!" Jojo accused as he pointed at the black wearing girl.
"Hmm perfect guess yes, my Stand may have caused this but the question is how it did this." The girl taunted as Jojo glared at her.
"UNDER PRESSURE!" Jojo invoked clearly angry as Under Pressure charged.
"PERFECT STORM!" The black wearing Girl called out as the two stands went at each other.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORA/MURAMURAMURAMURAMURA!" The two stands invoked as they sent punches at each other as the fists hit each other at all angles the two stands tried.
Max saw this as she in her eyes saw what would prove she's a novice compared to those two. These were two people who knew how to use their stands strengths and weaknesses to their full advantages. Max then looked to the town and saw the Tornado this Stand User had apparently caused was heading straight for Arcadia Bay. "Oh now that Tornado is heading straight for the town." Max said as she saw the Tornado move torts Arcadia Bay.
Jojo was to distracted that Max knew she had to step in. "PHOTOBOOTH!" Max invoked as Photobooth went straight for the black wearing Girls Stand as Photobooth did a stab motion with its hand.
"ORO!" Photobooth invoked as it charged at Perfect Storm with its hands in a stab like motion as the girl smirked even wider as it revealed a fang in her mouth as Perfect Storm dodged the attack. Photobooth then rewind time and just before its attack missed and was able to adjust and hit Perfect Storm as it then went for its speed attacks. "ORORORORORORORORORO!" Photobooth invoked as it went with stabbing motions as its fingers were like blades as they cut up Perfect Storm a bit but its armor was bit thick. Photobooth then went to Max as it was about to perform another Volley but the girl had seen enough.
"PERFECT STORM!" The black wearing girl invoked as soon a burst of energy came out as Time Froze right then and there as the girl walked passed away from Jojo and Max with a smirk on her face. "Sorry Max I can't have you causing me to much trouble, a good little puppet should do as the puppet master says and this Puppet Master says... keep Chloe alive she's the key to my revenge after all." The girl said as she walked away. Soon once she was far enough she then smirked. "And now time resumes." She said as soon Perfect Storm's power wore off.
Joshua and Max came back to reality and see everything is back to normal the lighthouse is still standing, and with the girl in the hood or her stand is nowhere to be seen as it seem they vanish, with Joshua he was taking a small breather as that fight was rough and with the storm that was happening didn't help at all, but max is breather heavy, her legs shaking as she never been in that much fear in her life and now knowing a storm is coming to destroy the town and what worst is someone like them.
With Chloe as she blink for a moment and saw Joshua and Max not beside her on the bench as she looked to the side, at the edge of the lighthouse area and saw Max shaking, as she rush to her and said, "Max, what just happen? What's going on? Did I black out or something, the moment you guys were beside me the next you are over here."
"Oh man this sucks! It was real, it had to be real!" Max started talking out as Chloe shaking her a bit and said, "Max calm down, what happen, what was real? Jojo tell me what happen?"
"A disorder of space and time it seems, I'm maybe not as smart as my father, and just guessing here… but it seem me and max were brought into the future for a moment, or maybe our minds were," Jojo said as he notice he not as injured after the fight and his body felt find, but the phantom pain is there.
He took a moment to think, as he didn't want any more Bizarre stuff and thought moving away would help, but it seem no matter where he goes trouble find him, and now he is in too deep in shit, even if he wanted to get out, he not that kind of man to walk away, but wonder would his power be enough, even with Max's help they were pretty over powered by "Perfect storm".
"Did we get high or something? Blackout and stuff?" Chloe said as she thinking they were hitting some deep shit as Max said in a panic, "No, we didn't black out, another came... the town is going to get wiped out by a tornado… cause by some psycho girl with a walking storm beside her."
"Oregon gets about five tornadoes every 20 years, and there no way in hell someone can cause a tornado. You just maybe zoned out," Chloe said as she doesn't believe what Max is saying let along Jojo was saying about time travel or some shit.
"No, no. I saw it, I could actually feel the electricity in the air..." Max said to Chloe as she put her shoulder on the time rewinding girl as she said, "Come on take a breath, okay?"
"Chloe, I'm not crazy. But there's something else I have to tell you. Something... Hardcore," Max said with the added part to give Chloe an idea she may understand.
Jojo look to Max, as If he knew what Max is going to tell her, it was ether completely crazy to do as no one can understand but people like him and her could as he somewhat against it, but if Max is telling Chloe and with the new Bizarre thing that is happening now, might as well get something out to tell to her close friend or else something may happen to her, and not the good kind.
"Talk you me max," Chloe said to her as Max took a moment to think of her words as she said, "I had this same vision earlier in class... when I came out of it, I discovered I could reverse time, and also… something else... but like I said: not crazy."
"But high right?" Chloe didn't want to believe and wanted to blame it on drugs even those they did not take any at all, and breathing in a little of what she was smoking can't cause that much of a hallucination if it were one with Jojo thoughts were as he also said something.
"We didn't take anything of the sort, if there were drugs in our system, there are sign of things of like mood swings, or change of hunger, and visions. From what I can tell, I'm 20/20 or no sigh of discoloration to my sight as I can tell your hair is bright blue still," Jojo said proving points with Max is showing is not mood swing as it would go for happy angry, sadness, or any other order as its random sometimes, but pure panic and showing fear is something else.
"You guys can't be for real," Chloe said to them as she still doesn't believe as Max started to say, "listen to me. How do you think I saved you in the bathroom?"
"By reversing time? Yeah, sure," Chloe said playing along and still not believing a thing but max keep going saying, "I saw you get shot, Chloe. Saw you actually... die. I was able to go back and hit the fire alarm..."
"Okay. I see you're a geek now with great imagination, but this isn't an anime or a video game. People don't have those powers, Max..." Chloe said as she think people having powers are in comic book, and in SiFi movies and shows.
"Under Pressure." Jojo simply said before Under Pressure appeared and messed with Gravity as Chloe saw that things were now floating in midair as she was surprised.
"What the fuck?" Chloe asked as she saw rocks were floating in midair like gravity just decided to stop working for them. Soon Photobooth appeared behind Max and took Chloe's hat as Chloe was wide eyed and saw her Hat was floating in midair as it seemed an invisible force was swinging it around in a pin. "How the fuck is this happening?" Chloe asked as Jojo looked.
"This is mine and Max's Stands doing my Stand allows me to manipulate spatial forces such as gravity and worm holes, Max's Stand allows her some control over Time though I'm currently not sure of its full capabilities." Jojo said as Chloe soon saw the rocks drop like Gravity decided to work once again.
Photobooth simply tapped Chloe's shoulder before presenting the girl back her beanie as Chloe took it back. "Ok am I high right now?" Chloe asked as she tried to make sense of it.
"No we have these powers, these Stands. And I'm scared shitless of it." Max admitted as Photobooth tried to its best to comfort Max by putting its hand on her shoulder.
"Ok how about we get high. It's been a hella insane fucking day and the fact that shit just happened that shouldn't happen because of fucking 'Invisible,' ghost things..." Chloe began but Max soon gasped as something landed on her face.
Max looked at it and saw water before Jojo felt it also but didn't gasp as he then put his hand out as he saw snow flake land on said hand. Jojo saw this as did Max as the two were wide eyed at this as this shouldn't be happening so early in October. "What the Hell is this?" Chloe asked as she saw the Snow land on her body.
"Snowflakes?" Jojo said as he was trying to figure this out but whatever that girl did with her Stand, Perfect Storm, it seems this was simply the first sign something big was coming and unless they can undo whatever it is she caused things are only going to get weirder and worse.
"It's like 80 degrees... How?" Chloe asked as Max stood up.
"Climate change. Or a Storm is coming." Max said as she knew that girl whoever she was caused this.
"And right now we are the only ones who can stop it before it arrives, whoever that girl was we need to find her and make her tell us what she did with her Stand to cause this." Jojo said as he knew it was going to get worse and honestly he was kind of scared as to what was coming.
"Max, Jojo start from the Beginning." Chloe said as she needed details and answers. "Tell me everything." Chloe said as the two had to tell her as Jojo could explain this better then Max could by filling in the blanks for her.
(In Kate's Dorm Room)
Kate Marsh was crying as no doubt the video of her that was circulated around the school was causing major bullying for her. As Kate cried she soon heard her phone go off as she looked and saw a new number she didn't know there.
'Kate it's me Jojo I heard from Max about David, I'm still new here and all but do you need to talk? I can meet you for breakfast tomorrow if you're having problems just give the word and I'll be there tomorrow as soon as possible. -Joshua John AKA Jojo.'
Kate didn't know if she should smile or be skeptical because this Text could have come from anyone as she knew the only member of the Vortex Club in Mr. Jefferson's class that was with Kate and Jojo in class was Victoria and her Bitch Clique. Her phone soon went off again as Kate looked and saw it was another Message from Jojo.
'P.S. if you don't believe it's me I got your number from Max today and I was sitting next to you passing you notes discreetly and no one but us saw -Jojo.'
Kate smiled as she knew for a fact no one saw the notes the two were passing to each other. Kate then decided to reply as she needed some good feelings right now as she replied.
'Jojo bless you for your concern I am open for breakfast tomorrow, I can meet you at the Two Whales Dinner or the Cafeteria if you want for breakfast.'
Kate's phone soon went off once more as she looked and saw it was from Jojo.
'That will be ok so tomorrow at the Cafeteria?'
Kate then sent her reply again.
'Yes -. :-).'
As Kate's reply was sent she did find Jojo quiet handsome but he didn't seem like one of faith. But even if she was one of faith she always knew the good Lord had a plan for everyone even those who don't openly believe.
(At the Beach)
A dog was sitting calmly as it barked at the snow fall before the RV near it door opened as a man who just screamed drug dealer came out with a bog in his hand as the Dog looked at its master before looking to the snow. The Dog was smarter then it looked as it knew this snow wasn't natural not by a long shot. The dog knew something bizarre had happened and it had to be ready because whoever or whatever had done this may be out there right now and if it's out there then his master and best friend would be in danger.
It looks like Arcadia Bay's animal communities Top Dog will have to step in and save everyone when the time came as next to the Dog a robotic K9 with a gun on its back appeared as the dog looked to the robot that seemed to glow as only it could see said being. In truth this was the Dog's own Stand as it then looked back to the snow fall as it needed to be on guard.
(Scene Break that night Jojo)
After Jojo had sent the message to Kate and explained everything with Max to Chloe Jojo had decided to go back to his Dorm Room as he also decided to pick up a school map since tomorrow he would no doubt be lost considering he didn't get a chance to explore. As Jojo headed to the men's dorm he noticed a few thing. For starters these thugs were walking out holding weapons as Jojo sighed. In New York he had to deal with this even after he got his Stand as he glared at them. "You idiots were hired by a Prescott to deal with me weren't you?" Jojo asked as the grunts snickered as Jojo sighed in annoyance. "Right now I'm not in the mood to deal with any of this so I'll make this quick but before we start... would any of you like to walk away first?" Jojo asked as he looked to the offending thugs.
One then swung a pipe at Jojo as he didn't even move. "Under Pressure." Jojo simply whispered as soon his Stand appeared and used one punch knock outs on two of the thugs before he then charged at the third one with a punch from Jojo. Jojo then glared at the remaining Thug as the man was shocked at this before dropping his brass knuckle saying he gave up. "Tell this to Nathan or whoever hired you... if they want to take me down or take me on then tell them to do it themselves." Jojo said as he walked away to his dorm room as the Thug nodded and grabbed his friends before hi tailing it out of there.
"Seems there are things in this town that might very well be considered illegal." Jojo said as he had a hunch the Prescott's were the cause somehow.
(With Max)
Max was in her room as she knew one thing was for sure. That girl she completely dominated the fight with her and Jojo. Joshua may have spatial manipulation while Max has Chrono Manipulation but she knew that girl was on a whole other level then them. They didn't stand a chance against her. Add the fact she just vanished like nothing after she simply yelled out her Stand's name Max may have reason to believe she may have Time Powers with her Stand also but at a much higher level then hers. Max was honestly scared of taking that girl and Perfect Storm on in a fight so as she held her phone and looked at the phone number on it she knew she had to make the call.
Max then unlocked her smart phone and began dialing the number as she then took a deep breath before clicking the call button and putting the phone to her ear. Max then let out her breath just before the call went through. "Hello Speedwagon Foundation how may I help you?" The voice asked as Max was surprised they answered this late at night.
"Um hello I was recommended to call this place by um Joshua John you may know him as Jojo." Max said as the woman on the other side gasped a bit in shock though silently before she regained herself.
"May I ask who you're trying to contact or the reason for this call?" The woman asked as no doubt this was rehearsed or she was just used to this type of thing.
"I was hoping you can connect me to a Jotaro Kujo and the reason behind me call, Stand." Max said as the woman got what she needed to hear.
"May I have your name before I transfer you?" The woman asked as Max felt like she was getting somewhere.
"My name is Maxine Claufield but please call me Max." Max said as since this was an official place she needed to give her full name even if she didn't like her entire first name.
"Alright I'll transfer you over to someone who can better help you, and if you're wondering why we are answering you this late, we have 24 hour service to all those in your unique situation Ms. Claufield. But heads up when I transfer you, the person who answers will ask a series of questions pertaining to what you just said and you will be asked to answer each of them to the best of your abilities and as honestly as possible, it's simply procedure since we had a few pranksters and accidental calls in the past." The woman said as Max understood that. No doubt they had to deal with that a lot when they first started out and even deal with people trying to get free money.
"Thank you Miss." Max said as she knew she had to deal with a lot of this.
(Meanwhile with the Black Hooded Girl)
The girl was in an alleyway as she was hidden by the shadows as this alley was known for having rapists and muggers as said criminals were on the floor dead drained dry of their blood. She looked around waiting for the man she had called to arrive as soon he came out of the shadows as the man seemed to be a fashion artist of sorts. "Were you followed?" She asked as the man laughed haughtily.
"Of course not those peons have no clue I'm here especially since they never caught me as of yet." The man laughed as the girl looked to his arm as she saw a girl wrapped around his arm like a girlfriend.
"I see you have a new lady friend again, I suppose you got tired of the last walking corpse and got rid of her." The girl asked as she saw behind the girl and man was a marionette looking Stand though it was shadows and no many could tell so easily. But as the man had what looked like a one handed puppet controller in his hand as he moved it a bit and the girl in turn rubbed up closer to him.
"Of course! You know once a beauty serves its purpose it should be returned to where it came from." The man said as the girl was clearly not breath only looked to be breath. The black wearing girl saw that this new girl toy of this man was clearly dead and his Stand was being used to control her body to make it seem like she was alive.
"Whatever. I need you to do a job for me, considering you are quiet famous in the art world I figured you could be perfect for this job." The girl said as she took out some papers. "Everything you need to know will be on this, and you're free to deal with the target in any way you see fit as long as the girl with tattoos and blue hair isn't harmed in any way. Do this and I'll supply you with a new beauty to show off. A beauty of your choice." The girl said as the man smiled as he knew there were beauties in the world that his Stand couldn't reach without outside help.
"Oh I'm in." The man said as the girl looked.
"Then our business is concluded for now, you'll get your pay once the job is done. Don't. Screw. This. Up." The girl threatened as she clearly wanted her target removed altogether.
"You got it." He said before he began to leave no doubt to come up with his grand scheme.
(TBC)
ESKK: Now then since Episode 1 is over for Life is Strange let's do a short Omake for a bit for a few laughs alright.
(Start Omake: Picture from the FUTURE!)
Joshua was holding a picture in his hand as Jotaro, and Joseph saw this as Joseph decided to take a break from Chloe's next Hamon training plan to ask. "Hey Joshua what you got there?" Joseph asked as Joshua looked.
"Oh this… it's just a picture of me and my daughter." Joshua said calmly as he looked at said picture as it showed a young girl with dyed blue hair, a cross around her neck, and seemed to be as stylish as Victoria Chase.
"You have a daughter? But your only 18." Joseph said as said daughter in the picture was like maybe 5 or 6, 7 tops.
"Oh I forgot I had found said picture about a week ago when it landed on my lap. I think it's a picture… FROM THE FUTURE!" Joshua said trying to do the cliché time travel voice.
"Oh Really? Any idea who the mother is?" Jotaro asked as he finally spoke up.
"That's the odd part in the future she has a Stand that has Under Pressure's strength and Photobooths Chrono powers and speed, and most of all it goes Ora like mine." Joshua said as Jotaro sighed.
"Here we go." Jotaro said as he knew what was coming now.
"So with that unexplained logic the mother must also be a Stand User." Joseph said as Joshua wasn't convinced.
"Not necessarily though it is a possibility, but her appearance suggest she isn't related to Max, but does carry certain aspects from specific girls in Blackwell Academy. She has Kate's faith in the bible, Chloe's punk ass attitude, Victoria's apparent love for fashion, and Max's dreams to be a photographer and her Stand's Ability. But the only other person who I know who has some of these aspects in Blackwell is…" Joshua began before a new voice spoke up.
"Hey Joshua is Mr. Kujo here I have so many questions for him." Warren said as he walked in and had no idea what was wrong as Joshua glared at him clearly not pleased.
"I hate fanfiction." Joshua said as Jotaro sighed.
"Me too trust me, me too." Jotaro said as he sat down.
(In the Future)
Joshua now older looked to his daughter who was now in her teen years as she looked pissed. "Hey Joan… how's it going?" Joshua asked awkwardly as he looked to Joan who he admits he wasn't exactly a good father… but he's trying at least. Well he's doing a better job than Jotaro did with Jolyne at least.
"Fuck you dad and you fucking photo shoots which you use to leave me and mom to fucking fend for ourselves and decided to fucking visit me when I'm in prison pending a fucking trial! What the Fuck do you have to say for your fucking self?!" Joan demanded as Joshua saw he might have been wrong there.
'My, what profanity.' Joshua thought before continuing because at least he tries to visit and send over birthday stuff to Joan. "I brought a birthday cake since its coming up and all. Plus I brought, sushi, Pork Katsu and rice." Joshua said holding the food in his hand.
"I'M ALERGIC TO SUCHI AND KATSU!" Joan yelled as Joshua was shocked.
"I HAVE NO DAUGHTER!" Joshua yelled as that was among his favorite foods as that was one strange visit.
(End)
