Chapter 40: The Final Countdown part 1
The group walked down the driveway to Giorno's mansion. "Nice place," Kira said, "tell me James, should I expect any, interesting characters?" "Perhaps, but know is not the best time for that," replied Bronny, "it would be better if you just stayed quiet, the atmosphere isn't the best right now." The group entered the mansion to be met by Josuke. "Jeez, what happened to you guys?" Josuke asked, "you guys didn't encounter an enemy, did you?" "You could say that," said Jolyne, "have they searched through his files?" Josuke nodded and pointed to the manor, "yeah, they're going over them now." Josuke turned his head back to the group, he noticed the one outlier to the group, "new friend you got there?" He asked. "Don't belittle me with something like friend," Kira coldly responded, "I'm here only to further my pursuit of a peaceful life, if you'll excuse me." Kira moved past Josuke and into the main manor, "cool dude," Josuke muttered.
He led the group into the manor, where the rest of Passione sat. "So, what's the scoop on our murderous friend?" Asked Josuke. Bucciarti stood, papers in his hand. "We've uncovered all we need to know about Hunter, most thanks to Bronny and his group," he said, "we now know his location, we know everything we can about him, but we should remain cautious, for all we know, he could still be one step ahead." "Nonsense," Kira said, stepping up, "for all this man has done, we must put an end to him, let him suffer as he has made others suffer." Bucciarti tilted his head, "I don't believe we have met," he said, "you wouldn't know how things work here, rushing in without a plan will backfire, trust me." Kira scoffed, "you seem like a smart individual, you should know that when an opportunity arises, you have two choices, you can chase it, or let it fizzle away," he said, "if you truly have the information on this man, then you should use it, and not let it be for nothing."
"I agree." Everyone turned to see Giorno leaning on one of the walls, his face covered in shadows. "This is our chance to end these murders once and for all, if we don't do it now, we most likely will never have the chance again." Giorno moved off the wall and towards the middle of the room. He faced Kira, his royal blues eyes gazing over him, "I like the way you think kid," he said, "what's your name?" "Kira, Yoshikage Kira." Josuke's eyes widened, "did he say…" Giorno shook Kira's hand, "I guy like you would work well in Passione," he said to him. "Listen up everyone," announced Giorno, "today is the day we end in the Black Dahlia Murders for good! This man, this Hunter, he has killed dozens of innocents, he has stolen the pieces of the Arrow, and he has taken a member of our family… He doesn't know who he has messed with, Passione is a group that vows to to keep the streets of Naples safe from any harm and to keep it clean from the filth of evil. I ask you all, for this final fight, will you lend me your strength?"
Bucciarti sighed, he walked up to Giorno, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Giorno," he said, "I've been at your side for as long as I can remember, I put my faith in your golden dream all those years ago, and I'll continue to stay by your side, no matter what." Giorno smiled, "all of you rest for now, when the time comes, we will begin our attack!"

"You alright Josuke?" Josuke jumped slightly, "ah, don't sneak up me like that, give me a near heart attack!" He yelled. Jolyne sighed, rubbing her forehead, "give me a break," she muttered, "you didn't answer my question by the way, are you ok?" Josuke sighed, "yeah, I'm fine, but that guy you brought, Yoshikage Kira, where did you meet him?" "Oh, that guy, I met him at school, he's a bit of an asshole, but Bronny thinks he can be helpful." She said, "why do you care?" Josuke frowned, "maybe it's a coincidence, but his name, it's the same as someone I've known before." Jolyne tilted her head, "really? He did mention that his name was from his grandfather or something like that, were you friends with him or something?" "I killed him." Jolyne's eyes widened slightly, "wait, what?" Josuke closed his eyes, images from his past began to swirl in his head. "Yoshikage Kira was a serial killer, he killed countless woman in my home town, kinda like what Hunter is doing now, but with the help of your father, we put an end to his dirty deeds." Jolyne scratched the back of her head, "jeez, that's one hell of a coincidence that his grandson appears now," she muttered. "Yeah," replied Josuke, "if you don't mind, I'm gonna have a word with the kid."
