The last arc in this story features a focus on the Seven Deadly Sins. Not the anime, but the concept. And for that I decided to delve into a story created using the Vocaloid template called the Evillious Chronicles, a series of songs, light novels, and other such media created by mothy. The main seven protagonists of this series will be our focus for this last arc. Which actually starts in a few more chapters, but we'll be introducing them early. Disclaimer: I don't own Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Danganronpa, or the Evillious Chronicles.

Jojolion Chapter 31: New Allies

"The New Year approaches," Oingo said. He was sitting in Kakyoin's office with Hol Horse and Boingo. "Thoth has just made a new prediction," Boingo noted, "Honami will perform the ritual at midnight when the calendar turns to 2015." "Even if we wanted to stop the ritual," Kakyoin said, "We don't know where it's taking place. Joseph's spirit photo only showed that Honami became the product of the former Steering Committee's Kamukura project. As the next semester begins and the 79th class is chosen, it seems Kizakura has found quite a few good candidates for this year's Ultimates."

He tapped his desk. "But knowing the history of those artifacts... I can't help but be worried. I swore to myself after I was freed from DIO's control that I would not let fear control me ever again. Yet as we speak I find myself teetering very close to that very thing I hope to prevent. There's nothing for it but to bring in more help." "If it makes you feel any better," Boingo said, "Prior to Thoth predicting the ritual, it predicted one such ally being brought to us."

It was at the moment that the doors burst open, and into the room walked a rather muscular and seemingly middle-aged woman with long, blonde hair. "Howdy there, everyone! Ol' Jojo said you guys might need some backup, and I knew just the person!" "Mama!?," Hol Horse blurted out, "You came all the way from Manhattan!?" Sure enough, it was Jackie Zeppeli, better known as Applejack. She had been keeping up her workout regimen to keep herself as youthful as possible, since her husband Caesar aged slowly due to continued Hamon practice.

"She's not the figure from my prophecy," Boingo noted. "Then it's probably the guy I came with," Applejack replied. From behind her walked a very large man with skin so tan he almost looked black, and a large toothy grin. "Hello there," he said in a surprisingly cutesy voice that made everyone blanch, "A broken gourd is bitter on the lips, right? Well I'm here to help." Oingo blinked. "Was that supposed to mean something?" "Heck if I know," Applejack replied, "This is Daisaku Bandai, Former Ultimate Farmer from Hope's Peak's 66th class. He's been working at the Applaine farm since graduation."

"Isn't that kinda limiting?," Hol Horse asked, "Applaine Farms is largely an apple orchard." "A dancing wolf needs no sake," Daisuke replied, "As the Former Ultimate Farmer, just getting to work the land to feed people is its own reward." "And he's not the only Former Ultimate coming to help," Josefumi said as he came in, "Several others were called and agreed to come. We'll be meeting at Kyosuke's completed overseas Academy before long." As they talked, Boingo noticed something else appearing in Thoth. Three people being drawn through a rift. 'As I thought back in Cairo almost thirty years ago. The more confidence I gain, the further into the future Thoth can see. But that can also mean the prophecies aren't as likely to come true.'


Just like Josefumi said, eight new figures were seated at a conference table inside the new Hope Island Academy. Daisaku was there, of course. Also there was The Great Gozu, the Former Ultimate Wrestler from Hope's Peak's 68th class. There were also two alumni from the 55th class, Hiroko Hagakure the Former Ultimate Stencil Artist and Taichi Fujisaki the Former Ultimate Programmer. Ruruka, Sonosuke, and Seiko were there as well, representing the recently graduated 76th class. With them was their classmate Miaya Gekkogahara, the Former Ultimate Therapist.

"On behalf of the 74th class," Josefumi said, "Let me extend my thanks to each of you for coming." "We owe much to Hope's Peak Academy," Gozu replied, "It would be dishonorable not to lend our aid. Besides, it's been some time since I've exercised my Stand. For the sake of fairness, I do not use it within the confines of the ring." "I hear that," Juzo chimed in. As a boxer, he could understand the need to not use one's power for an unfair advantage. "I got some of the story from Mister Kakyoin," Daisaku said, "It's like if apples and pears weren't allowed in the same fruit salad."

"That almost made some sort of sense," Hiroko noted. "To give some context to everyone," Josefumi said, "Who here has heard of the Evillious Chronicles developed using Vocaloid?" Everyone raised their hands. "It's quite a popular dark series," Taichi said, "But it's often left Chihiro with nightmares." "Then you might not like what I'm about to tell you," Josefumi said, "While the majority of that story was truly fabricated, the base part of it, the Seven Deadly Sins, were very much a part of our history." This caused the entire group to gasp.

"Jojo are you sure?," Chisa asked. "Very," Josefumi said, "Because until recently, the Vessels of Sin that the arc was based around... Belonged to my family." Juzo pounded the table. "The artifacts stolen from Willamette!" Josefumi nodded. "The very same. As to why no one heard of this, it's because in the grand scheme of history, even the Reign of Evil was swallowed up by everything else happening at the time. According to research done by my ancestor Jonathan Joestar, the eight Vessels were crafted in the year 894." "Eight?," Ruruka asked, "But in the songs there are only seven. One for each sin."

"That was in fiction," Josefumi explained, "But in reality an eighth was created, representing the sin of despair, which is sometimes included with the other seven. The artifact in question is called the Original Sin, a runic tablet. Now here's where things get interesting, because as it turns out... Each of these artifacts was forged from the Cape York meteorite." There were general outcries of "How" or "Impossible". Josefumi raised his hand for silence. "This has been proven by extensive study from the Speedwagon Foundation, who confirmed each artifact has a composition identical to the Stand arrows."

"But that means they could also grant Stand power," Sonosuke realized. "And so they did," Josefumi said, "At least two have crossed paths with the Joestar clan before. Specifically, Jonathan's father, George Joestar I. He and his best friend Nathaniel Twilight led all of London against the Stand user of Greed, and he personally killed the Stand user of Wrath." "But how!?," Trixie said in shock, "He was never even a Hamon user, let alone a Stand user!" "Apparently none of the Stand users made by the Vessels could control their powers very well," Josefumi explained, "In fact each of them were in turn killed by ordinary humans because they couldn't properly use their powers."

Joshu was busy writing on a white board off to the side. "If we overlay the timeline of the Evillious Chronicles against our own, using the year 894 as a starting point, the Venomania Event would have taken place in 1017, the Disappearance of Conchita in 1205, the end of the Reign of Evil in 1380, the Toragay Epidemic in 1489, the Enbizaka Murder Scandal in 1722, and the Dark Star Scandal in 1863." "That's largely accurate," Josefumi said, "But in this case the epidemic happened in Wittenberg and the murder scandal in Edo, modern day Tokyo. And Banica didn't quite disappear... As for the last one, George fought the final Sin Stand user in 1879, just one year before he took in DIO and Twilight."

Yasuho closed her eyes. "So that's when..." Josefumi nodded grimly. "Nemesis Sudo was on commission for Baron Kelvin at the time. She had all eight Vessels at the time, but didn't know how to use them. Baron Kelvin had obtained a stone mask, supposedly the same one George had found, and wanted more power after using it. As it happened, one of his circus trainees was one of the agents Eliza mentioned. Kelvin learned of the Stand arrow and what it could do. At one point Nathaniel struggled with Nemesis over the Grim the End, and it scratched both of them."

He closed his eyes. "But unlike his daughter, Nathaniel had no Stand potential, and the injury eventually proved fatal as the virus slowly killed him." "Meanwhile Nemesis gained a Stand of her own," Taichi noted, "And became the final piece of the puzzle for activating the ritual." "Indeed," Josefumi said, "During the confrontation George was able to bypass Nemesis' Stand and deliver a fatal blow to her chest. But that only allowed the Original Sin to fully charge. Luckily George understood the implications and he and Nathaniel kept four each, keeping them separate from each other."

"Until Twilight was adopted following her father's death," Taichi noted. Josefumi nodded. "George was still able to keep them separate by keeping them in different rooms. He was a strong-willed man, evidenced by the fact that he was never tempted to put on the stone mask despite having it for several years. Thus the Vessels of Sin could not compel him. After Twilight and Speedwagon married, they took the artifacts once held by Nathaniel and kept them close, while Jonathan kept the other four. Eventually all eight passed on to Joseph, who at first used the same method used as George until Willamette could be completed."

"Maybe they were better off in the Joestar manor," Daisaku noted, "Like stacking cups on hard-boiled eggs." "The point is," Josefumi said, "Honami is going to trigger the ritual of the Original Sin at midnight on New Year's. I always wondered why she didn't become a Stand user despite having the remains of Anubis. She should have gained Stand potential when she was given the Ultimate Hope procedure. Yet she never bothered trying to get a Stand when she had the chance, and now I know why. Original Sin itself holds the Stand of the user who crafted it. And much like Ticket to Ride, it can be passed to anyone with Stand potential that has yet to gain a Stand." The implications were not lost on the group.


Sure enough, at midnight on the night in question, Honami had the seven Vessels surrounding her, Original Sin at her feet. "Now, with the Venom Sword, the Glass of Conchita, the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia, the Clockworker's Doll, the Twin Blades of Levianta, the Marlon Spoon, and the Grim the End, I shall invoke the ritual of the Original Sin, and restore to life the Stand users chosen by each Vessel. Lust is the flower, Gluttony is the seed, Pride is the stone, Sloth is the wind, Envy is the spring, Greed is the soil, and Wrath is the forest."

She placed her fingers in the sign indicated by the Original Sin as all the Vessels began to glow. "Lu Li La, Lu Li La!" Her eyes snapped open. "Now, let's begin." Energy flowed into her as the Vessels each glowed a different color. There was a sudden backlash of energy, but Honami ignored it as it seemed to do nothing to interrupt the ritual. Suddenly, the Vessels began to speak one by one, each in different voice. "Now, shall we dance?" "Now, let's eat up." "Now, kneel down!" "Now, go to sleep." "Now, let's begin to tailor." "Now, let the trial begin." "Now, repent!"

The Vessels disappeared, to be replaced with the Stand user they created, Duke Sateriasis Venomania for the Venom Sword, Duke Banica Conchita for the Glass of Conchita, Princess Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche for the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia, Marchioness Margarita Blankenheim for the Clockworker's Doll, Kayo Sudo for the Twin Blades of Levianta, Judge Gallerian Marlon for the Marlon Spoon, and Nemesis Sudo for the Grim the End. As they got up one by one, Honami smiled. "Welcome back, each of you, to the realm of the living. I am Honami Sato, and by the laws of the ritual I used to resurrect you... You are now to be subservient to me."

Riliane was the first to speak up. "Someone of my standing subservient to you!?," she said indignantly, "You should be the one bowing before me!" "Or perhaps I could make her one of my brides," Sateriasis said, eyeing her. "Or maybe a tasty meal," Banica chimed in as she licked her lips. By contrast, Margarita, Kayo, Gallerian, and Nemesis were wary of her. Honami smirked. "I'm sorry. I don't recall that being up for negotiation." She thrust her arm out and seven chains emerged from it, wrapping around each of their necks and bringing them to their knees. Nemesis was the first to realize what was going on. "S-Seven Crimes and Punishments... The Stand power promised by the ritual of the Original Sin..."

Honami grinned. "I knew you would understand what I am capable of, considering you spent the longest studying the Vessels. You and your father tried to use the ritual, but it can only work once all seven have chosen a Stand user. But your power is incomplete. Immature. And so long as it stays that way I can compel you to do as I bid. And should you try to resist..." She focused on Riliane, Sateriasis, and Banica. Electrical currents ran through the chains connected to them, causing them great pain as they writhed about on the ground.

Kayo acted quickly, giving a traditional dogeza before Honami. Margarita likewise gave a deep curtsy, while Gallerian and Nemesis each took a knee. Once the shocking ended, the other three reluctantly did the same. Ichigo couldn't help but laugh. 'They really do look like their Vocaloid counterparts. Why that is... Well, it's a mystery for another time. But there's no denying that Honami now has plenty of muscle for the next step in her plan. Though there's one lingering thought it my mind... What was up with that sudden energy backlash?'

I did a lot of calculating for superimposing the Evillious Chronicles timeline over the Jojo timeline. I wanted the last of the Sin Stand users to be killed just before the start of Phantom Blood, which officially begins in 1880. So I decided to use a formula where the first events of the Evillious Chronicles took place a thousand years before that time, and worked forward from there. It wasn't so hard, just add 880 to any date in the timeline. Anyway, let's look at Honami's new Stand.

Seven Crimes and Punishments (Song by Vocaloid)
User: Honami Sato
Ability: Contained within the stone tablet Original Sin, this Stand bonds to whoever completes the ritual written on it, Honami in this case. The Stand manifests as seven chains that can emerge from any part of the user's body, and it has the power to control the Stand users who gained power from the other seven Vessels of Sin, but only while their power is not complete. Even after it is complete, Seven Crimes and Punishments has access to the same power. Honami can use her Stand to compel the Sin Stand users to do her bidding, whether they want to or not, and pain in the form of a powerful electric shock will be given to those who refuse.
Power: B
Speed: A
Range: A
Durability: C
Precision: C
Potential: A

The question of the energy backlash will be answered next chapter. Read and review.
