The third Jojo just arrived in another universe after finishing the last bit of business back in Quahog, with him remarking: "Well that fun." In a sarcastic tone.
"Yeah Quagmire had it coming. Anyway, welcome to one of the many worlds that me and my kind really enjoy. Believe it or not it's actually this place's 35th Anniversary in my universe. Originally you had four targets in this world, but there's been a slight change of plans."
"Do tell."
"You're not the only stranger in this strange land. Not too far from where you're standing is a man whose identity is a mystery even to my kind. Originally I was going to send you to take care of some robotic bottomfeeders named: Snowcat and Demolisher, but it would seem that the guy is already making quick work of them was we speak. Apparently someone was a bit eager to see those tools get wrecked before you could even show up."
"In other words you didn't send him."
"Nope, but I honestly can't complain. Which only leaves you with the other two idiots: Kicker Jones and his best friend, Ironhide."
"So I'm guessing that I'll find them inside."
"No, unfortunately those two and their friends The Autobots are in the middle of a battle with their enemy the Decipticons right now, I brought you here for your safety AND there's another Stand Arrow nearby that already claimed its victim."
"Is this what it's going to be like everytime I enter a new world?"
"Keep in mind I did say that you would come across some of these arrows. Besides, from what I can see, this time it was not self inflicted."
"How come?" But before I could give him an answer.
"I'M GONNA TO KILL YOU!" A voice roared out grabbing his attention.
Just after those words have been said, a young girl with long brown hair wearing a yellow suit came out running from the hallway with a scared look on her face looking over her shoulder and bumping into the Third Jojo.
"Sorry Kicker, I thought you were-" She then stopped herself when she looked up at him with a gasp seeing a complete stranger in the base with her. A stranger who gave off an intimidating aura on top of that. Jotaro just crossed his arms curious about what exactly was going on.
"Yare Yare… what did you do?"
"A-an intruder? How did you get passed all the security!? What do you want?"
"You mentioned someone named: "Kicker" I don't think that it's a coincidence since I'm looking for someone with that nickname."
"Wait? Kicker?" The young girl asked confused, with Jotaro nodding yes.
They both turned to see another young woman, one slightly older looking than the one Jotaro was talking to. Both teenagers stared at the second girl with wide eyes as not only was there an Arrow sticking out of her right arm, but that the arm itself appears to have turned into stone.
The young lady walked up slowly panting looking rather pale like she was losing a good amount of blood. "You… you little…" She said with a weak voice as she collapsed onto the floor. Jotaro than rushes over to the fallen girl's side picking her up bridal style.
"Where's the medical ward? Surely you must have one." Jotaro said with some urgency in his voice.
"Go through this door, down the hall and turn left." The girl in yellow answered. Jotaro hurried over to the emergency room as fast as he could with the girl in yellow's attempts in stopping him going nowhere. "Wait who are you!? How did you get here!?"
When the third Jojo quickly laid the other girl on the table trying to figure out how he could help. He looked at her arm and figured that if he tried to remove the arrow especially without using force which would no doubt destroy the arm.
He rolled up her sleeve and saw that the "infection" had stretch from her hand all the way to her shoulder. Jotaro also couldn't help but notice that she was already starting to look a lot healthier than she did a few moments ago, which could only mean that she was actually in the process of becoming another stand user, only time will tell on what kind of stand she will have.
"Guess these arrows aren't easy on newcomers. At least she is still breathing." He thought to himself. "Still, if this is just a side effect, then I'd hate to see what would happen if it hit someone who wasn't chosen to have a stand."
The Japanese Joestar was then snapped out of his thoughts when he saw the stone arm turn into a dark shade of gray and heard some cracking. Along with the arrow itself twitching until it just burst out of the arm with an almost comedic "popping" sound falling onto the floor. The young woman then woke up with a surprised gasp with the stone beginning to crack until burst out into pieces with her arm now covered in a roaring bright flame startling Jotaro.
When the flames died down, Jotaro looked once more to see what could best be described as "an organic gauntlet" with the whole arm being covered with violet colored armor like scales similar to the back of an alligator with black ash like patterns that almost looked like a couple of tribal tattoos woven into each other mostly wrapping around the slightly spiked knuckles and ending at the elbow. There were also sharp claws at the fingertips and palms that had scaling similar to a snake's with a strange golden jewel/stone in the center, which looked like the ash markings/patterns almost looked to have been coming out of, almost like a seed with roots.
The girl shot up like a bullet panting like she just woke up from a nightmare with the fingers on the stand arm twitching.
"You okay?" The third Jojo ask carefully. However, when she looks down taking notice of her new stand, her eyes widened once again with yep another surprised yelp.
"What the-WHAT HAPPENED TO MY-" But she was interrupted when she stretched her arm out, a golden color ball of fire shot from the stone in the palm hitting the wall missing Jotaro by a few feet. "…arm?"
"Look I know this is surprising, but you need to calm down. But before I explain anything, I want to know… who are you? And why did that girl stab you?"
Taking a deep breath, the young woman introduced herself: "My name is Lori Jiménez, I was sent her to do a little "boot camp" with the Autobots. As for why Misha stabbed me? I don't know… I'm just wondering why the Autobots and Dr. Jones keep her around."
"Dr. Jones?"
"The lead researcher here at the base, kind of an asshole if you ask me. I guess I can see where Kicker gets it from."
"I see… now about your arm what happened is that because you were pierced by that arrow you have obtained what is referred to as a "stand", which by the looks of it seems to be a dragon like one."
"No kidding." Lori said studying it, she then took a moment to concentrate which caused the stand to transform into a much more normal looking arm, almost like nothing happened to it. Jotaro then walked over picking the arrow off the ground which I teleported out of his grasp.
"Huh? Where did it go?" Lori asked confused.
"Don't worry, it's in good hands."
"Yo Lori! It's me Ironhide! Me and kicker are arriving at the base soon, just wanted to give you a heads up! Also the rest of the bots are going to stick around to try and find Optimus. See ya!" An annoying voice spoke through the com link that Lori forgot she was wearing, causing her to let out an annoyed growl.
"Roger…" She said quickly singing off. "I hate that guy."
"Is there anyone you do get along with here?"
"Yes, an autobot named Optimus Prime used to be here, but unfortunately he recently went MIA. Lucky him I guess."
"Well since everyone will be here, how about we give your new stand a little "test drive"?''
Lori just smirked summoning her stand taking once again taking her arm's place. "Gladly."
A few moments later in a large hanger, there were four people, Ironhide, young man who of course was Kicker, his father Dr. Brian Jones, and finally Misha. Standing around and discussing the mission that just happened off page.
"Kicker! Did you find any Energon sources before the Decepticons attacked?" Dr. Jones
"Give me a break Dad! There was nothing there and we looked for a whole hour! I told you that we wouldn't find anything there." Kicker snapped "Though me and Ironhide did see one one guy ripping apart Snowcat and Demolisher."
"Watch your tone young man or I'll-wait what?
"Yeah that's real funny, like a REAL HUMAN can do that." Ironhide said with a nervous laugh. If a robot could sweat, then not doubt Ironhide would be covered in it, though it would seem that didn't really need any to show that he was in complete denial of whatever happened. He then looked over an saw Jotaro and Lori walking over with Lori looking especially pissed off. "H-Hey Lori what's up? You know Kicker was just telling us a really funny joke. I mean not that it's important or anything I just-"
"Shut up! I'll deal with you later!" Lori roared, Jotaro got the sense that this particular robot may have been a real annoyance to her before he showed up. She then turned over to Misha who was now shaking in her boots, Misha then turned facing away from the other girl pretending that she's not even there. "Turn Around…" Lori said with a growl.
Misha turned her head back only for her face to be grabbed by a large scaly hand with a crystal in the center that came seemingly out of nowhere caused her in freeze in fear, she couldn't help but worry when the golden gem began to glow brightly. Then suddenly a large golden explosion went off in the hand causing her to yell in pain. When Lori let go and the smoke cleared Misha now showed that she had a large burn mark over her left eye, Misha place a hand over her now scared eye with the pain slowly but surely going away. Everyone (except Jotaro) just stared in shock silence.
"Now we're even." Lori muttered.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Dr. Jones finally spoke up. "You just attacked one of our researchers! If you have any common sense you join me in the lab so we can properly analyze it and-" However the scientist stopped himself when he saw the tattoo like markings suddenly burst in flame in the exact same color as the explosion. Lori then puncher the man in the face with the knuckles now on fire burning a mark into his face as well then suddenly being knocked flat on his back unconscious.
"And just where is all of that concern whenever your son goes on a dangerous mission or does anything else stupid? Looks to me like you need a lesson in common sense Jones." Lori stated. "And you two! What happened!?"
"Do you guys hear something?" Ironhide asked confused.
"Don't change the subject!"
"No, I hear it too." Jotaro said grabbing their attention. "What is that?" Almost on que a giant robotic bird crashes into the base hitting the wall, bursting into flame.
"A Divebomb?" Kicker asked surprised.
Everyone just stared as they saw figure slowly walking out of the flames. A large very built man covered head-to-toe in green armor cracking his knuckles looking up at Ironhide glaring dagger behind the visor.
"KICKER IT'S HIM! It's the guy who killed the Decepticons! He's here!" The lone Autobot panicked.
"I know Ironhide! He must've followed us!" Kicker called out annoyed
"That's right, and believe me: you can't run OR hide from me. Many have tried, all have failed." The main spoke with a gruff voice that sent shivers down the two's respective spines. "And you! Tincan! Do you seriously just fucking laugh while your opponent laid there dying after fighting for what he believed in! I understand that you two weren't on the same side, that your goals are completely different from his. But that doesn't matter, you have no right or reason to treat his last wished to be remembered as some sort of joke!"
"No no! But I mean… He's in a better place now right?" Ironhide defended. "I mean… well… what did I do wrong?"
"…Didn't I just answer your question?"
"I mean, I guess… Hey Kicker-"
"OKAY THAT'S IT! You know what?"
"What?"
"Your just lost your vocal privileges!" The man spoke as he grabbed a rocket launcher firing a shot blowing off the autobot's arm right off his shoulder causing blue energon to fly everywhere while he screamed in pain. Kicker and Misha gasped in complete horror at the site. The man then jumped unto Ironhide's neck, knocking him into the ground with superhuman strength, he than landed another hit on the robotic rookie's face leaving a dented face and broken optic lens.
Despite all of the damage, the mysterious warrior was not done. He then pulled out a chainsaw slicing it across Ironhide's neck and sticking his hand down the giant robot's throat pulling out a large circular device tossing it aside. The last weapon the man summons is a heavily modified chain gun as he opens fire onto the device not stopping until it was a pile of scrap metal.
"Oh Primus! Come on Ironhide! Let's get out of here!" Kicker yelled. with Ironhide nodding in agreement now grabbing his throat. The injured Autobot turned into a pick up truck that looked like had just went through a terrible accident with Kicker jumping in suddenly a large portal opened up teleporting the two to who knows where.
"Okay now what was that?" Jotaro asked while still pretty amazed by the stranger's performance.
"The GroundBridge" Lori answered right away. "Who knows where those idiots could be."
"They wouldn't get far." Said stranger spoke up. "Especially with the amount of blood that guy just lost. Somehow, I doubt that they teleported to a "robot hospital"."
"Agreed. Still, I have to admit that was one hell of an entrance you had. Gotta name pal?"
"My name is on a need to know bases… but my friends, well… really my enemies call me: DoomSlayer."
"Jotaro. Looks like I'm going to have to call friend to help me get those two. I don't suppose you want to join."
"I'd be delighted." Slayer said nonchalantly. He then turned to Lori seeing her arm still hasn't returned back to normal. "Nice arm."
"Thanks, and when you find Kicker and Ironhide. Let them I know that I'm giving you guys permission to kick their asses."
"You're not coming with us?" Jotaro asked somewhat surprised.
"No, somebody has gotta clean up the mess. Plus I think it's about time I called for a meeting with the ret of the Autobots about making a few "changes" on how things are run here."
"So I see, well good luck to you Lori. Kill Boss."
"Roger." I answered as I teleported the third Jojo and his new accomplice to there next destination.
"So that's how he got here." Misha thought to herself. She then turned as she heard a groan and turning to see Dr. Jones finally awake. The scientist looked around and saw the everything that happened from the wrecked Divebomb to the Energon stains leaving confused. He then turned around and Lori handed him a mop and bucket of water with the young woman giving him a "you know what to do" smirk as she walked away. Seeing that there was no way to stop her, Dr. Jones began mopping up the energon with Misha volunteering to help, seeing it as they only time she was ever useful for something.
