3 days have passed.

Hermit Purple can't find the location of the castle, so the trio wandered the wasteland, fighting Grimms they encountered, and steering clear of hazardous landscapes.

Pyrrha lets out a sharp exhale as she thrusted her spear through a Creep.

"Muda!" Giorno was forced to actually fight alongside his stand due to the increasing number of Grimms.

Joseph barely managed his abilities, lacking sleep for 3 nights straight.

scraaaw!*

"That noise..!" the redhead turned, alarmed.

"What?" the blonde asked.

"Oh, it's an old friend." Joseph tiredly smiled as he saw a giant Nevermore soaring in the sky.

The bird soared past them before turning around.

"Incoming!" Giorno yelled as they all ducked behind a tree GE produced.

The bird continued to fly pass them like a Japanese plane in Pearl Harbor.

"JoJo. How did Team RWBY managed to kill that thing back then?" Pyrrha asked as she switched her weapon to a gun.

Joseph rubbed his temples, trying to reminisce.

"Ruby decapitated it."

"Woah..." he heard the blonde whispered to himself in awe.

Three Goliaths managed to find them.

"Shit! It's those elephant thingies from Quadrant 5! Or wherever that was!" Joseph cussed as he grabbed his two allies like they are bodypillows and sprinted towards one of the buildings.

"Woah! Hey!"

They are currently in some sort of a ruined town. With wrecked buildings everywhere.

Opting to hide inside a wrecked pub.

"Put me down, Joseph." Giorno whined before he broke free from Joseph's grip.

Pyrrha calmly gets off of him and took a peek before suddenly diving away as a Goliath crashed through the wall.

"OH MY GOD!" Joseph yelled, Giorno ushered the two to run.

"Have you killed one of those before?" his uncle asked him.

"No. Doctor Professor Oobleck told me they prefer not charging at humans, so I didn't get the chance." he answered as they jumped to a window inside a destroyed diner.

"Okay, based on what I observed, those things are tough." Pyrrha said.

"Ya don't say?"

They all jumped in surprise as the Nevermore tore off the ceiling.

"STAR PLATINUM!"

The stand manifested and punched the Grimm's beak, causing it to fly away.

"Okay, we're going to need to trap it down, while looking out for the Goliaths..." Pyrrha said.

"I have an idea." Giorno said as he ran outside.

"Follow me!" he said as the brunette and the redhead glanced at eachother before nodding.

"Pyrrha, draw their attention to me."

Pyrrha nodded and shot one of the Goliaths, it did nothing more than to piss it off.

The Italian Joestar stared it down as trees sprung up at the last second, halting their charge and sending back the damage to them accordingly.

Pyrrha took this as cue and jumped on top of the tree.

"JoJo, I'll give you a boost!" she yelled as she equipped her shield.

"Got it!" the tall Joestar used Star Platinum to jumped on top of the tree in a single bound. He jumped on top of her shield as she launched him sky high towards the Nevermore.

Star Platinum held his hand out towards the Grimm but the height is not enough.

"STAR FINGER!" Joseph yelled as his stand's fingers extended and impaled the Grimm from it's abdomen.

SKRAAAAAAW*

It let out a horrifying shriek as Joseph and Star pulled it.

The three plummeted down.

Giorno and Pyrrha dodged the falling Nevermore as Joseph stopped time in the last second to avoid being crushed.

As the bird hit the ground, Pyrrha leapt and impaled it's nape with her spear and stood aside.

Giorno transformed the spear in to a palm tree.

As the trunk expanded, so did the wound, allowing them to finally decapitate it.

"That... Takes care of it." Giorno panted as he sat on the ground.

Everyday they are fighting their way through the land and there is still no lead to where the castle is.

"This isn't getting us anywhere." Pyrrha stabbed her spear to the ground to let it stand.

"What do you suggest?" the blonde asked.

The redhead warrior observed the scenery.

"Maybe getting to higher ground will help us scout the place." she puts a finger on her chin, staring at the hill not so far from them.

"That's a good suggestion." Joseph complimented.

"But. We're not really sure how big this place is. For all we know, it could be as big as Remnant." he pondered.

Giorno stared at his nephew with concern, he looked weary and he had bags under his eyes.

"Joseph. Have you been getting enough sleep?"

"Huh? Yuh huh! What made you ask?" the brunette grinned.

The redhead warrior took notice of this and tilted her head.

"Now that Giorno has mentioned it. You look rather... Tired." she mused.

"By the way. You haven't told me what made you agree on dispersing from the group, Joseph." Giorno got up and dusted himself.

"Ahh, right... I guess I have to tell you two sometime." he rubbed the back of his head and told them about the nightmares.

Pyrrha covered her mouth and blushed when she heard about Yang aggressively trying to give Joseph a blowjob in the first dream.

She sadly stared at the ground when he told them about Penny's death haunting him.

Giorno had a worried look on his face when Joseph mentioned the train wreck. He hoped that it wasn't a sign of demise for Joseph's, and to an extent, his new friends.

"I mean... I kinda understand what you're going for... But you still need to sleep, nephew." Giorno stated.

Pyrrha raised an eyebrow, she already found out about their connection few days ago, but she still can't help but be amused that the younger boy is the uncle.

"I'll be fine..." he yawned as he started walking towards the hill they were supposed to go to.

As they walked in silence, they heard a splashing noise.

Team JGP went on guard as they looked around trying to search for the noise. A Grimm ambush is the last thing they needed right now.

"Should we steer clear of it, or..?" Pyrrha asked, rather unsure.

"It's best if we neutralize the threat so it won't hunt us in the future." Giorno whispered.

Joseph nodded and used his own GE ability to turn his scarf to a raccoon. The raccoon will track down whatever is making that noise.

As the mammal crawled, they carefully followed it on high alert.

The raccoon made it's way through the forest floor, the sound grew louder. It lead them to a riverside, the freshwater is black though so it's fucking weird.

Giorno cautiously summoned his stand, Pyrrha unsheathed her sword.

Joseph took a step forward and saw an umbrella.

"What?"

The petite figure turned around, and glared at them.

She tossed stones across the river in boredom. Watching them skip.

"N... Hmm..." Joseph's raccoon climbed back to his neck before turning back to a scarf.

"You know her..?" Giorno asked.

"She looks... Familiar." Pyrrha tilted her head in curiosity.

"I know her! I just forgot the name..." Joseph pouted as the girl closed her umbrella and lets it rest on her shoulder.

"Newo... Negr- no that's racist... Hmm. Neo?" he snapped his fingers.

"Right! Neo!"

"... A friend?" the blonde asked

"Nah. We fought her during the stakeout in the docks, the train ride and the fall of Beacon." Joseph smiled fondly at the memories.

The not so tall girl unsheathed her parasword and dashed towards Joseph.

"OH NO!"

Pyrrha parried her slash with her sword, making the petite girl jump back.

"Come on! We outnumber you." Joseph yelled. Neo simply smirked and continued her attack.

She engaged in a swordfight with Pyrrha, to which the redhead bashed her with her shield, knocking her back.

Neo swept her off her feet with a spinning low kick, jumped on top of her shield and dashed straight for Joseph.

"MUDA!" a golden fist connected on her cheek, GE jammed it's thumb to her eye, which she closed at the last moment and knocked her to a tree, accidentally letting go of her parasol.

Her aura flickered as she felt her knees buckle and adrenaline suddenly surging through her. She felt dizzy all of a sudden and slumped at the tree trunk.

"My Gold Experience punched her with life granting energy. She is disoriented." Giorno said as he walked towards the girl.

Joseph picked up her parasol and helped Pyrrha up.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it."

Giorno kneeled in front of the disoriented girl and cupped her swelling cheek. She winced as she felt a painful yet comforting sensation as the blonde boy's hand glowed.

"What the hell? Why are you healing her?!" Joseph angrily asked.

"She is not a bad person." Giorno nonchalantly answered.

Neo blushed at the closeness of their faces, the blonde stranger in front of her is attractive.

"Huh... Your cheeks are turning red... How could this be?" he innocently asked.

She pouted and stared him down. As she felt her cheek healed up, he lets go of her face.

Neo quickly headbutted him and ran way.

"Ow!" the blonde don flinched, and held his forehead in pain.

"Hey, where are y- get back here!" Pyrrha yelled as she chased after the fleeing girl.

"Not a bad person, huh?" Joseph mocked.

"Oh shut up. For all we know, she could lead us to the castle." Giorno irritably replied as they followed Pyrrha's trail.

After they catch up to the redhead, they noticed that she lost the mysterious short girl.

"We gotta find her, she won't survive out there without her sword." Pyrrha panted, pointing at the parasol Joseph was holding.

I've just noticed how frequent I wrote Grimm encounters... Is it a good thing? Also... Neoooooooooooooo!
