Hey everyone!
Thanks for all the amazing ideas! I really had a hard time picking one, they were all so good! However, I think I have to go with Blood on the Dance Floor. It just makes so much sense.
Congratulations, PhantomKnightPercival! You earn a fake cookie, as well as my thanks!
As for everyone else, you all are winners too! Thank you so much for the feedback, it was truly very hard to pick, everyone had a great idea!
Yapachi: Honestly, Giorno is going to go all out. Not just because Overhaul is everything Bruno was against, but also because of Eri. As we all know, Giorno didn't have the best childhood either.
TheCommonCold: OH NOOOOOOO!
AutieFan123: Trust me, it will be PAINFUL. I think you'll be a little shaken up by it. In a good way.
Kosaku Valentine: Any ideas you have, feel free to send them over! They're always so helpful!

Author's Note: Now, I'm not saying there is foreshadowing in this chapter, but if there is, keep in mind that it could lead to anything.

"Hey! You're Johnny Kujo, right?"
Johnny raised an eyebrow as someone who resembled Izuku came up to him. "I'm Yo Shindo! I just wanted to say, it was real inspiring to hear that you recovered from that injury...how did you do it?"
"Jesus."
Behind him, Kyoka snorted.
"Oh...you're religious?"
"No."
Silence befell the Ketsubutsu student as Johnny tried to keep himself from snickering. Finally, Shindo resumed his grin. "Oh you're messing with me!"
"A little."
Shindo patted Johnny on the shoulder. "Well, I look forward to seeing you at the exam! Hope you get your license!"
Johnny raised his hand as the rival student departed, before turning to his friends. "That guy was fake as fuck, right?"
"Absolutely, he had that look in his eye." Gyro responded. Izuku frowned. "I don't know, he seemed pretty nice to me."
"Midoryia, you're too pure for your own good, he was scouting out the competition." Kyoka said.
Bakugo nodded in agreement. "For once, I can agree with you idiots. Shitty Deku-lookin-"
"That's enough Bakugo. We shouldn't assume things, he could be being genuine!" Iida reprimanded.
Johnny shook his head. He already knew how to spot liars from their eyes, it was something he had picked up from the Steel Ball Run. It was how he knew Valentine was bluffing during their final confrontation, and Shindo DEFINITELY had that look.
What was he up to?
Then there was what his father did the other day. Leaving him alone with Kyoka and bailing? Was he trying to set them up? He and Kyoka were just fr-
Oh who was he kidding? There was definitely something going on with her...but did he really want something like that?
His father married his mother, his sister dated that Romeo asshole that got her locked up, Joseph cheated on his wife, neither of his uncles have ever found love, and Johnathan died just a few days after marrying Erina...
Does being a Joestar mean that he couldn't find love? What if things didn't work out? what if he died on her? What if she got hurt because of him?
He never had to think about these things before...but he couldn't deny that he had fallen for her, HARD. She had already done so much for him, not to mention that he found her gorgeous.
But if Kyoka was really the person he wanted to be with...he couldn't put that burden on her. Suddenly, he understood how his father felt about settling down. But he can't distance himself from her either, because that would hurt her too.
He would simply enjoy being her friend.
"JoJo? You good?" The girl he was thinking about stared at him quizzically . "You're spacing out."
"Fine, just...nervous."
Kyoka smirked. "The guy who saved the world is nervous over a little license exam? Seriously?"
"Yare yare...you never let up, huh?"
Kyoka grinned. "Nope."
Johnny smiled, he couldn't help it.
She just had that effect on him.
...
Gyro frowned as he saw the turnout. Izuku had advised that the class should stick together during the exam, and Gyro just couldn't disagree.
But he couldn't shake the feeling that...
Suddenly a volley of rubber balls came hurtling towards him, but Izuku came up and knocked them away with a powerful kick.
"Thanks Midoryia! That Shoot Style is really coming in clutch!"
"No problem!"
The entirety of Class 1A was being attacked as Ketsubutsu came at them with everything they had. Johnny had already retreated into a wormhole, and his stand was outside, deflecting the incoming projectiles with it's fists, protecting Mina in the process.
"IT'S AN AMBUSH!" Johnny yelled towards his partner.
"Well, not like it's the first time!" Gyro responded, tilting his head to the side as a projectile went through his long blonde hair. "Let's show them what the two of us can do!"
"Right!"
Johnny hopped from the wormhole, and he and Gyro stood back to back, each holding their own set of the rubber balls. Then they both began throwing them, returning fire at an alarming rate, and their rivals could only stare in shock as the rubber balls returned to their hands.
"What the hell? Kujo couldn't do that in the Sports Festival!"
"This isn't the same U.A...they've improved." Shindo said with a smirk. He turned to one of his friends. "Makabe?"
"Got it."
"Ookami?"
His wolfish classmate was staring at a certain purplette, a conflicted look on her face. "Yeah Shindo?"
"Challenge Kujo with your stand, give him a run for his money. In fact, separate him from Zeppeli, we don't stand a chance with those two working together."
"Okay..."
The wolfish girl jumped down into the fray.
...
Hardened projectiles dug under the class as everyone frantically tried to find out where they were coming from. Kyoka turned to grin at Johnny. "My turn."
She walked forward and smashed her fists into the ground. "HEARTBEAT FUZZ!"
The speakers on her hands fired a massive sound attack, and the whole class stared in awe as the entire ground exploded into a rocky mess. Kyoka had just caused an earthquake.
Kyoka turned to Johnny and Gyro, Gyro's jaw was almost touching the ground, and Johnny's pupils were the size of pins. Then Johnny pointed an accusing finger at her.
"You cheeky little-"
CRACK!
Johnny flew out of the area in an instant, as both Kyoka and Gyro stared in shock. Someone just punted their friend away from them.
"JOHNNY!" They both cried, about to run after him, when the entire ground shook as Yo Shindo stood grinning, placing his hands on the ground.
"Divide and Conquer..."
...
Johnny landed on his back. "Oof!"
He was in the middle of some street, alone. He was completely separated from his friends.
"So...you're Johnny Kujo, huh?"
Inu Ookami stood over him, glowing with a menacing aura. Her yellow eyes just screamed that she was a predator, that she was hungry. Johnny recognized her from some of Kyoka's stories...
This was one of the girls that bullied Kyoka in middle school.
Johnny bit on his lip to prevent himself from cussing her out. He needed to focus on the right at hand.
"I have to admit, you're not half-bad looking...no wonder Jiro hangs around you."
Johnny raised an eyebrow as he picked himself up, Act 4 materializing by his side. Inu nodded in recognition. "Your stand looks pretty badass too...I can already tell that taking you down is going to be tough..."
Johnny smirked. "Thanks, I showed you mine, now show me yours."
Inu gave him a bored look as a figure emerged from her back. "My stand is called: High and Low, and you'll be too distracted to reach the goal." A figure made of mud and moss stood behind Kyoka's bully.
Johnny grinned. "Sure...but my stand will leave you a little...dizzy."
Johnny charged at Inu as her stand braced itself, and suddenly everything went dark. Johnny blinked, and whirled around. Then he found himself in a forest full of purple trees and flowers in the shape of Susan's face.
"What...the...fuck?"
Johnny picked a Susan flower out of the ground, and the face contorted into a scream.
"God took the wro-"
Johnny threw the flower aside. "Just shut up already."
He turned around, trying to find his opponent, but Inu Ookami was nowhere to be found. Clearly, she's causing some sort of illusion...
"Well, this is certainly a...FANTASTICAL...sort of place, isn't it?" Johnny turned and his face fell as Valentine picked a Susan flower an examined it. "Fascinating...to see into your mind."
"I will shoot you in the face, right now, if you don't tell me why you keep appearing in my head."
"You can't kill me again, Kujo...is that me?" Valentine pointed off into the distance, and another Valentine entered the scene. He was dragging Gyro...dead.
"What the...no, this isn't happening, this isn't real."
"Well no kidding, the real me is right here."
"SHUT UP!"
Johnny held his head in his hands as he tried to process what was happening. Valentine was walking around himself, hand on his chin, and examined the situation. "It seems that you were afraid that things could have turned out differently. Interesting..."
Johnny turned and bolted, with Valentine staring at his retreating form with an intrigued expression. It wasn't every day you could see how your enemy thinks.
Valentine briskly followed after Johnny, he needed to know more.
...
"Do you think JoJo is okay? He flew pretty far." Tsuyu asked, putting a finger to her chin in concern. Momo grimaced. "I have no idea Tsu..."
Shoji narrowed his eyes. "I hear something..."
Momo pulled a bo staff out of her arm. "Where?" She whispered.
"Right around the corner...someone's heading this way."
Momo pressed herself against the wall, ready to attack, she heard a shuffle, and she whirled around the corner, thrusting her staff at the stranger.
The stranger knocked the staff aside and grabbed her by the collar, bringing her in close and thrusting something green and spinning into her face. Her bo staff was resting just below his chin.
Momo blinked, and she soon realized that she was inches away from Gyro Zeppeli, who looked equally surprised. Gyro's face slowly morphed into a smile. "Perché ciao lì! "
Momo flushed red at the Italian's proximity as her best friend emerged from behind him, giving her a raised eyebrow. Momo quickly turned away. "Z-zeppeli! Can't s-say I expected to see you here!"
"But you're happy that you did...right?"
"I-I..."
Kyoka smacked her friend upside the head, knocking his hat off. "Stop it Gyro, you'll break her."
...
Johnny looked away, horrified by the sight. It was Izuku, lying half-disintegrated at Shigaraki's feet. He couldn't take much more of this...
Valentine watched the scene unfolding, a look of understanding coming across the former president's face. "You really value your friends...don't you? That's why you killed me...I was threatening the people you cared about..."
"...why are you here, Valentine?"
"I don't have a choice...ah, a new one is coming up."
A hand grabbed Johnny's ankle, and he reluctantly looked down. It was Kyoka, horribly wounded, mangled...she was looking up at him, pleading.
"Johnny...please...help...me...she'll kill...she's going to..."
"Kyoka..."
Johnny knelt down, and Kyoka brought a bloody hand to his face. "Stop...her..." Johnny grabbed her hand and helped her onto his arms. "I'm...sorry..."
"It's okay...It's okay."
Kyoka fell limp in his arms, the light fading from her eyes, and Johnny's eyes filled with tears. His mother's cackling was heard all around them, as Valentine narrowed his eyes. "It's her..."
Johnny gently set Kyoka down, and closed her eyes. Then, a dark fire burned in his eyes as he got up and screamed.
"ENOUGH!"
...
Inu Ookami watched in horror as Johnny broke free from her stand's hallucinations, not because he overpowered her ability, but because of what she saw. He just broke down, usually people just wandered around all loopy.
What the hell has this guy been through?!
"K-Kujo?"
Johnny turned to her, a stone cold glare frozen on his face. "Were you controlling what was happening in there?"
"N-no, you were...listen, I'm so sorry...I di-"
"It's fine."
"R-really?"
"Yeah...just don't do it again."
"I-I won't, I'll let you go, I don't want to fight anymore."
Johnny nodded, and walked past her.
"Wait."
Johnny slightly turned his head, indicating that he was listening.
"When you see Jiro...can you tell her to come talk to me? I...wasn't very nice to her in middle school...I wanted to apologize."
Johnny nodded, and walked away to continue the exam.
Those visions...I won't let them come true! I can't! But if they do...
Whoever hurts my friends...will DIE.
