Inside S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters...

"Cloud Strife... I am growing older day after day. For years, we had to absorb Mako energy to stay young, but even that isn't enough to stop my aging process. Those Mako cells are slowing dying inside my body. During the fight we had with Dio and his minions centuries ago, I admit that I admired him in secret. His power, his beauty... I want to become as young as Dio once again! I want the power of Stone Mask by myself!"

"H-Have you lost your mind, Zack?"

"No. In fact, I'm sane as ever, Cloud. I'll use your blood to become a being that surpasses all the living beings. And when you die, Sora will pursue me to avenge you and them, I'll kill him as well. It'll be easier than cutting a baby's throat!"

"That's not fair, Zack! I won't let you do it! No... NOOOOOOAAAARGHHAAAAAHHH."


''...AAAAH!'' Sora yelled, as he opened his eyes to a cloudless sky.

''Sora, you fell asleep again'' he then turned his eyes to Riku.

''Again?'' Sora looked around. He was near a beach.

''Yes'' Neku said, turning his headphone back to listen to some Cabaret Voltaire jam ''Was it a bad dream?''

''I think'' then Sora noticed his clothes were wet ''Why am I wet?''

''Please'' Okuyasu came in, giggled briefly ''Aren't you grown up?''

''Okuyasu!'' Josuke shouted ''Oh, Sora, my friend thought of doing the ice bucket challenge on you while you were asleep. You know, for charity.''

''Besides, Morioh is so damn hot these days, so I did you a favour'' said Okuyasu, studying for Geography alongside Koichi.

''What was this dream about?'' Riku showed interest at knowing Sora's visions. Maybe they meant something.

''Zack wanted to suck Cloud's blood'' soon as Sora said, Riku raised his eyebrows.

''Why would Zack do it so?

''Don't know, Riku.''

''Was there anything else other than a desire for suck?''

''Well, Zack said something about a guy called Dio-''

''DIO?'' Josuke said, surprised.

''Do you know Dio?'' asked Sora.

''That man... no, creature, he was the reason of my fever'' said Josuke, so pissed that he crushed his ice cream tip, which flew over the air and fell on Okuyasu, but not before The Hand erased that ice cream from existence ''That's how I got my Stand. All Joestars are tied to Dio in blood, or at least they were.''

''How come?''

''Well, there's this weird story about my ancestor, Jonathan Joestar, who ended up cutting Dio's head, but his head survived and went into the same ship Jonathan and his wife Erina were celebrating honeymoon. Jonathan died saving Erina and a baby, as his body was taken by Dio's head. 100 years later, my gramps Joseph and nephew Jotaro fought against DIO to end this blood bond for once, and for all.

''And what happened to Dio?''

''He's dead. That's all that matters. My Stand isn't trying to kill me, or Holly anymore.''

''Who's Holly?''

''Oh, Holly Joestar-''

BZZTBZ!...

''...Well, Zack said something about a guy called Dio-''

''DIO?'' Josuke said, surprised.

''Do you know Dio?'' asked Sora.

''Oh... I don't know. It means God in italian, doesn't it?

''Yeah.''

''You felt this too, Sora, didn't you?'' Riku asked, pulling Sora to a corner

''Felt what?''

''Uh... Nothing. It ain't safe here.'

''Safe? What do you-'

BZZTBZ!...

''...Zack wanted to suck Cloud's blood'' soon as Sora said, Riku raised his eyebrows.

''Why would Zack do it so?

''Don't know, Riku.''

''Was there anything else other than a desire for suc- wait a moment'' Riku paused ''It happened again.''

''What happened?''

''Uh... nothing'' Riku scratched his head ''I think... wait, weren't we supposed to go at the mangaka's house?''

''Sure. But we made a quick stop for lunch'' said Josuke, eating some fries.

''And I need a better note at English, or else Yukako...'' Koichi pointed to his neck, and with Echoes, he wrote a kanji of a 'slash' sound, like an axe does.

''Yeah. I guess...''

''What's bothering you, Riku?'' Sora asked, as he came back carrying two blue icecreams in hands.

''I... what are these? Seasalty icecreams?''

''Our favorite'' Sora gave Riku an icecream, as they proceeded to eat it. It was both sweety and salty ''I wonder how these are made.''

''I prefer Vanilla Ice Cream-''

BZZT!

''Again?'' Riku yelled, dropping his icecream on the floor.

''What's up, Riku?'' Sora didn't understood why, or what happened.

''You bastard! Polluting my city!'' Josuke came in, punching the icecream in thin air, removing all the floor's dirt and rejoining the blue pieces likes a jigsaw, as he took it to his own ''If you don't wanna icecream, give it to me!''

''Cool'' Sora said. Now that he could see Stands, he thought they looked cool ''I wonder if I have any Stand powers as yours.''

''Whatever Stand the Arrow gave, it's power may only depend of your own'' said Koichi ''Like,at the beginning, it was only an egg, then it hatched, and now you see this. I mean, these. This is Echoes Act 4, it has the power of all three that came before. It can create noise, make objects out of noise, paralyze people... and cry 'bitch' as well.''

''BEEEEETCH'' said Act 4 coming out Koichi and floating on air.

''Fascinating.'' Sora said, looking at Act 4 meditating ''How many of you have Stands?''

''Who knows, Sora? I do not think that is a good quality for high school students to be. High school students should be nice and caring and not talk about themselves like they are the best only because they have Stands because that will only make us all assholes, which isn't what we should be trying to be'' said Koichi, throught his Stand.

Sora stared at the road and something familiar at distance, like a black dot moving near. It wasn't a dot, but a ''59 black cadillac ''Hey, it's the driver who ran over me!''

''Could it be?...'' even without seeing, Riku could feel the driver's scent and picture it by. So he did with the car ''It's him!''

''Who?'' Neku asked, listening to Radical Chic and going to Taxi Mutant. ''OMG I saw him too! That's the guy who drove you to the hospital, Sora!''

''Exactly!'' said the guy, who stopped his car in front of the sidewalk. He came out of it, and everyone was shocked. It was a british guy wearing a hat, with a scar on his face, blonde hair and a pink necktie followed of a formal suit. ''Please to meet you again, Sora Sora.''

''What?'' Riku gasped, even thought the guy directed himself to Sora.

''What's your name?'' that guy didn't seemed a threat to Sora, who shaked his hands.

''My name is Robert Edward Oliver Speedwagon! Nice to meet you!'' he said.

''Speedwagon?'' Sora exclaimed.

''Yeah, the one and only! I was the one who took you to the hospital, you see. Sorry for running over you.''

''It's okay'' he seemed a nice guy, though Sora. So did Josuke, bur Riku still had its doubts.

''From where you are?''

''You must mean when, my friend'' said Speedwagon, who seemed older than he seemed to be ''I am from 19th century England.''

''19th century? Josuke, in which century we are currently?'

''Well, at the end of the 20th century, I guess'' said Josuke, checking his notebook's calendar.

''But that means you-''

''Yes. I traveled throught time!'' Speedwagon said, spinning his cutting-edge hat.

''Oh, that makes sense. I thought you were over a hundred years old'' Sora said, finishing his icecream.

''I'm not even 30.'' Speedwagon smirked ''Now, if there's a way for I to help you out, Sora Sora...''

''Why do you call me Sora Sora?''

''I like the name Sora. So I'll be repeating it twice. What do you think, Sora Sor-

''Stop it.''

''Fine them. How may I help you out?'' Sora took a look at that Speedwagon. For a Stand user, that guy seemed a nice person. Someone who really wanted to help them out, not only for hospitality.

''Okay. Can you drive us to Rohan Kishibe's house?''

''Sure!'' Speedwagon said, doing a pose as his sharp hat spinning like an yoyo fell on his head ''Come in!''

''Let's go!'' Sora exclaimed, to which the rest of the party looked at him.

''I'll go, but only because I haven't felt any evil intention on this Speedwagon'' said Riku.

''Me too.'' Josuke said ''I can feel when a Stand user emits a wicked aura.

''Be careful with Rohan, by the way'' said Okuyasu, already inside the Cadillac. He could erase time as well.

''With you at my side, I'll have nothing to worry about!'' Sora lifted his hands, with a smile on his face.

''Quit this bullshit'' Josuke wanted to hit that face with Crazy Diamond's fist, but felt no need to do it so. School was way more important.

''Can I go too?'' asked Koichi.

''Sure!'' said Speedwagon, at the wheel. With everyone wearing seatbelts, that's important, Speedwagon and the Morioh Gang ran away to the mangaka's house. Still...

''Oh no!'' Koichi exclaimed ''Shigechi was left behind!''

''Did he followed us all the way here?'' asked Josuke, looking at the fat kid with spikes and a runny nose, coverd by bees, on the back of the Cadillac.

''If anything happens to him, it'll be our fault. He's only a child...'' Koichi was worried that something could happen. Being a Stand user, anything can happen.

''No worry. Morioh is a safe place'' Okuyasu said to Koichi, while reading in the car ''And Shigechi's Stand is strong, isn't it?''

''If you call a cockroach strong, then maybe-''

''Uuhhg... I don't feel well...''

''Please don't read in the car'' Speedwagon said, while adjusting the rear view.

''Geez, he's gonna puke! No, not on me, fool!'' Josuke yelled, as he tried to get away from Okuyasu, crushing Sora at his left.

''Do something, Speedwagon!'' Sora remembered that the car didn't ran over his, but instead he crossed throught it. So-

''Here it is!'' Speedwagon said, soon as a hole was made at the bottom of the car, where Okuyasu threw it all.

''Never eat shrimps again!'' Josuke said, reliefed that his expensive yen pants weren't ruined. So did his hair.

''Damn'' Sora swore. Everyone stood quiet ''How far Rohan's house is from here?''

''I traveled back when they made GPS, so we'll be there soon'' Speedwagon said, taking his hands away from the wheels while crossing his legs and laying them on the wheel, now moving by itself ''At first, my Stand was a wagon, but when I went to the future, it changed of shape. I have installed Nitrox in my Stand car, as well as painted some flames in it. What do you think, Sora?... Sora?''

''He felt asleep, again.'' said Josuke, staring at Sora and that hair. How come Sora had same hair as his? But he paid money for his, so that's fine.

''Dude has narcolepsy'' said Neku, who felt sidelined by the plot, and felt a need to say anything meaningful.
