Chapter 52: The End of God's Plan part 10
"Yeah, he's dead alright." Police cars and ambulances surrounded the building. Hunter's body was placed into a duffle bag and carted off to be taken away. "You know what Giovanna," the police chief said, smoking a cigar, "you did good, I would've wanted him alive, but it is what it is." Giorno nodded, shaking the chiefs hand, "anytime." As the chief walked away, Giorno looked around to the mess surrounding him. "I'll tell you what Giorno," said LeBron as he walked up to him, "this certainly was an interesting experience, I'll make sure to write about it in my autobiography." Giorno sighed, "I'm glad that you can find some enjoyment in this, all I know is that the city is going to take a long time to move past this." LeBron shrugged, "yeah I know, but let's just put smiles on our faces, ya know, be a bit positive." Giorno chuckled, "yeah, let's try."
Bronny watched the two talk. He looked to the floor, wiping his forehead. He was glad that this nightmare was over, finally, he could live in peace. Jolyne walked over to him, sitting down. The two didn't say anything, just sitting in silence for the most part. "So, " Jolyne stated, "that's it huh?" Bronny nodded, "yep, for now at least." Jolyne raised an eyebrow, "whadya mean for now?" She asked, "we won, we can finally rest." "I know," replied Bronny, "but with all the damn school time we missed, we're gonna in the shit with homework." Jolyne starred in confusion, before busting up laughing. "That's just like you Bronny," Jolyne said, "we have a near death experience, and all you care about is fucking school." Bronny sighed, "sorry for caring about my future." Jolyne chuckled, patting Bronny on the shoulder, "yeah yeah, I'm just playing around, I know you're a super scholar, at least you know what your future holds." Bronny turned to Jolyne, "and you don't?" Jolyne sighed, "well, I am a Joestar, we do have this uncanny thing of getting into near death experiences, who knows what the future holds."
Bronny put a hand on Jolyne's shoulder, "well if that's the case, then I guess we're both gonna be fighting for the rest of our lives, cause if you are going down this path, I'll follow you." Jolyne blushed, looking to the floor. A small smile formed on her face, she looked at Bronny, "you say the stupidest stuff," she said, "I love it." She wrapped her arms around Bronny and planted her lips on his. The kiss only lasted a moment, but for Bronny it was like a lifetime. His eyes looked to the side, seeing Rae and the others. Rae had her phone out, recording the two, a huge smile across her face. Jolyne gave her the middle finger, "fuck off," she muttered, and moved closer to Bronny.
"You people are fucking weird," Kira muttered, he turned and began to walk away. "Leaving already?" Kira turned to the group. "Yeah, I said I was here to kill him, now he's dead," Kira said, "he's dead, now my peace is secure." Joshua sighed, "I see, if that's what you want, then there's no arguing," he said, "however, you're always welcome to join us if you are in need of assistance." Kira smirked, "I appreciate your offer, perhaps in the future, but for now, I bid you a due, oh, and before I forget." Kira took out a card and threw it towards Joshua. "It's my phone number, if you ever need a call, well, see ya." With that, Kira walked away.
"How the hell did you get his number!?" Exclaimed Noel, "here, let me see it." Joshua chuckled, "knock yourself out." Noel grabbed, she winced, clutching her newly grown arm. "God damn it, Giorno never said how much this shit hurts," she wined. "You should be thankful he even grew you one in the first place," Rae said, "and I still haven't heard a thank you for making sure you aren't dead." Noel smiled, patting Rae on the head, "yeah yeah, thanks for that." Rae blushed slightly, pulling away, "h-hey, I asked for thanks!"
Bronny and Jolyne walked up to the group. "I want to thank all of you," Bronny said, "you didn't have to help us in this fight, but you did anyway, I don't know how I can repay you guys." Joshua walked up to Bronny, placing a hand on his shoulder, "repayment is not necessary," he said, "everything that happened was tied to our fate, in fact, it was you bringing us together that is what led to us surviving this mess, so we should be thanking you." "Yeah, and you can't say it wasn't fun," Noel added, "you know, despite almost dying like, four times." "Five times actually!" Exclaimed Rae, "get your math right, and by the way, the best part about this was getting out of school! I mean, meeting you all was nice and stuff, but getting out of that prison was a joy!" Jolyne chuckled, "well, at least we can all agree on that last part Rae." The group shared a laugh and walked away from the scene. LeBron and Josuke watched the group from a far, smiles on both of their faces. "This wraps up another exciting adventure now doesn't it?" Josuke said. LeBron crossed his arms, "maybe for you, I've been in a damn hospital for the whole week." Josuke shrugged, "I guess you have a point." Josuke stretched his arms, yawning loudly, "damn I'm tired, I think a well-deserved nap is in order." "I second that my man," replied LeBron, "come on, let's get these kids home."
The group made their way out of the area, and began to leave back to Naples. From a distance, a figure stood. The White Figure. Its blood red eyes glared down to the heroes below, specifically Bronny. "Well well, it seems as if I was right all along about you," it spoke, "you truly are the one I have been searching for all these years." The White Figure lifted its hand, revealing the Requiem Arrow. It was nearly complete; however, it was still missing many pieces. "My rebirth is almost at hand; however, it will only occur if you are willing to comply," it said, "Bronny, the future all rides on your shoulders." From behind the White Figure, a cloaked man approached. "Master, shall we began our expedition?" The White Figure turned, "yes, but do not rush, they will not impede your search, for now." The cloaked man nodded and walked away. The White Figure sat on the floor, placing its face in its hands. "For years I have waited for this moment, I can wait a while longer," it said, "for now, the next chapter of this story, shall be written by your actions, Bronny James…"
