Ch.1 - Black Hole Sun, Won't You Come?

Eastern Florida, January 2019, Earth

So there I was. A 16-year old boy on his final night of submitting his college apps. I was finished with my final application and was about to finally go to bed from what feels like a marathon session of college apps when a white light started showing up from outside my apartment building.

Now, seeing how I lived near Cape Canaveral, I assumed it was the spotlight from the lighthouse that was near my building and the spotlight managed to shine on the complex. But then the light got bigger. And bigger. And bigger.

I then heard a voice shouting on the rooftop of my building saying weird phrases. "Spiral Staircase, Rhinoceros Beetle, Desolation Row, Fig tart, Rhinoceros Beetle, Via Dolorosa, Rhinoceros Beetle, Singularity Point, Giotto, Angel, Hydrangea, Rhinoceros Beetle, Singularity Point, Secret Emperor…."

"What the hell….?" I internally wondered in absolute confusion.

I made my way upstairs to the rooftop of my building to witness one of the most bizarre scenes transpiring before me.

I saw about 30 men and women standing on the rooftop who wearing orange jumpsuits of some kind. My immediate assumption was that these people all came from the prison that was about a couple of miles away from here. But none of them looked weirder than the man standing right before me.

He looked to be a priest of some sort. He had short, white hair and was wearing a dark purplish long coat with a cross on the chest. He held a book in his hands and judging from the size of it, it was definitely not the Bible. "Uhhhh, excuse me? What the hell is going on up here?" I asked. The priest turned around from the group of prisoners and faced me. "Nothing that concerns you, my boy, I suggest you go back to your home and return to your business.

When the priest turned around it was then I saw something that would shake me to my core. A baby.

Now, a baby on a rooftop wouldn't be quite as alarming as the thirty-something prisoners and the weird priest currently standing on my rooftop.

But the baby in question was green. And he...she… it had red eyes.

…...Yeah, either this guy was on something really heavy, or I'm about to witness the second coming of Cthulu.

It was at that moment that the baby began crying and its chest started to glow a golden color.

"...What?" said the priest. "The baby…" He then looked down at the baby he was cradling in his arms. It was starting to glow ever brighter.

"Impossible! The Inheritor?"

"...Say what now?"

"Well, now." said the priest. "I wasn't expecting my lord's inheritor to be in this godsforsaken world. But no matter."

While I was standing there in absolute confusion at what the priest just said, the white light that was encapsulating my building had started to go up in the sky and had expanded beyond measure.

"No matter. Thankfully Lord DIO has made explicit instructions on how to deal with a situation such as this." said the priest.

"Lord wh- AUGHHHHHHHH!" I looked at my chest only to see a ghostly arm holding to be a smoking pistol. I then looked down in shock at the blood coming out the .45 caliber hole in my chest and collapsed on the ground in horror, but that really wasn't the important part, as I found the owner of the ghostly arm that fired the gun.

The figure was black and white in appearance. There looked to be a mask covering its head and reaching all the way down to its nose. Its eyes look to be almost melting.

"W-what is that? What the hell is that?" I said in absolute pain.

"Brothers above! You can see my Stand?" said the priest in astonishment.

"A what?"

"My word, boy, I can see why Lord Dio chose you to be the Inheritor. But you needn't concern yourself with what's happening now. This world will know what it is like to experince Heaven. But in order to do so, this world must be purged of its numerous sins…."

As the priest started blabbing about the "sins" of Earth (and according to the priest there were a lot), I was laying on the ground tuning out that whole damn monologue and started to see my life up to this point flash before my very eyes…..

...it was then I realized in hindsight my life was very boring, and if I listed my normal, quiet life here we'd be here 'til the year of the damn flood. So I'll stop right here.

"...But you are needed elsewhere." said the priest.

The priest then pulled out what looked to be a disk from the ghostly figure standing beside him. He then walked up to me.

"My name is Enrico Pucci, my boy. And I shall be seeing you very soon."

The now-named priest Pucci inserted the disk into my head.

A few seconds later, my body starting convulsing violently. Great. Not only is there a .45 ACP round in my chest, but now I'm having a damn seizure.

I was very close to blacking out when the ghostly figure lifted my body towards the light in the sky.

Before I finally blacked out I heard Pucci say to me again: "I'll be seeing you again very soon.

And it all went black.

Unknown Location, Unknown POV

Today was when everything changed. No more fans, no more tournament fights, no more agents breathing down my neck for brand deals not worth my time.

This was the day I become a huntress.

As I'm standing there paying attention to the Headmaster's speech, I'm internally hoping I'm paired with someone that has no idea who I am….

...but given how I was recognized the second I stepped on campus, that dream has officially died.

A few minutes later I was flying in the air and I found a suitable spot for me to land.

I started walking north where the relics I was meant to find are. A few minutes later, I was alerted to a sound coming from the sky and I looked to find what looked to be a boy falling from the sky. Upon further inspection, I immediately panicked as the boy looked to be unconscious, so I mecha-shifted my short sword into its polearm form, took careful aim at somewhere near his jacket, and threw it.

The javelin met its target, and the boy thankfully was pinned safely at a tree that was nearby.

(Roundabout - Yes)

I went over to where my javelin was to pick it up and to check on the boy to see if he was ok. When I finally got to where the boy was, he looked to out cold. Not only that but he wasn't wearing any armor or had any kind of weapon on him.

But upon further inspection of the boy, there was a big bloodstain that was on his shirt.

I removed a few buttons of his shirt to see the left side of his chest is home to a gunshot wound.

'What in Oum's name happened to you?'
