Episode 5: A Gang Within The Mists
Honnoji Academy
Two men were on the outskirts of the academy.
"So...your boss wanted you here, Doppio?" A man with a mohawk says
"Yeah Kinagase. Thanks for the ride" Doppio says. He had pink hair and wore a purple sweater that didn't even cover his whole body
"No problem" Kinagase says.
"HEY!" A group of gardeners said
"Oh…" Doppio says
"We're the Gardening Club here, and I'm pretty sure you two don't go here" The captain says
"Well...there are two things you need to know. One, I don't give a shit whether or not I go to this school or not, and two…" Kinagase says.
"Needles" Doppio says
"Yeah...what he said" Kinagase says. He shoots down the gardeners with his needle gun
"Woah" Doppio says
"Now how did you even know I would shoot needles from this gun?" Kinagase asks
"It's one of my abilities. Epipath" Doppio says
"And it does what?" Kinagase asks
"See the future. It allows me to see the future, almost like fortune telling" Doppio says
"Okay. Then, I'll take you to the Passione Gang Home" Kinagase says
"One more question" Doppio says
"What?" Kinagase asks
"Is it true that Nudist Beach and the Passione Gang are working together?" Doppio asks
"If I'm being honest with you. I'm not too sure myself" Kinagase says
"I see. The boss didn't tell me whether or not they're working together" Doppio says
"Your boss...the one no one really has ever seen" Kinagase says
Passione Home
Giorno was up and ready for the day
"Ryuko is gonna have massive trouble today...am I right?" Giorno asks. Abbacchio, Mista, Bruno, and Narancia didn't pay attention to him.
"We don't have time for your foolish jokes. Doppio is stopping by today" Abbacchio says
"Doppio" Giorno says
"He is here to discuss about the Requiem Arrow. The boss called me last night about it all" Bruno says
"That's huge" Giorno says
"Yeah. We'll have to meet him at here though. So we will be skipping school today" Bruno says
"YES! NO MATH TEST!" Mista shouts
"Mikisugi isn't going to bother me now" Abbacchio says
"Now...we have to set up everything. Doppio is an important piece to our organization" Bruno says
Honnoji Academy
Ryuko and Mako arrived at the academy before the Passione Gang could
"WE'RE FROM THE GAMERS CLUB AND…" The captain says but Ryuko smacks him and cuts up his uniform.
"Wow. That was fast" Mako says
"Yeah. I've been very good at this thing for a really really long time now" Ryuko says.
"Consider a week a long time?" Doppio asks as he comes over
"And what club are you from? The striped sweater club?" Ryuko asks pointing her sword in the direction of Doppio
"No. I'm here for Bucciarati" Doppio says
"Oh yeah. You're the friend of Bruno and the other guys" Mako says
"Long time no see Mankanshoku" Doppio says. He wasn't fond of her at all unlike other members of the Passione Gang
"Okay. Who is this?" Ryuko asks
"This is Doppio. He's a member of the Passione Gang that comes around only for special ocassions" Mako says
"What's so special about now?" Ryuko asks
"Nothing that concerns you. I...gotta go" Doppio says. He heads for the exit
"Bitch" Ryuko says
"He's all business. Now let's go have some lunch" Mako says
"Yeah. That sounds like a good idea" Ryuko says
Passione Home
Bruno set up a table with glasses of wine for every member, including Doppio. The other members watched carefully.
"This is very important. You must not make any remarks to him, does everyone understand?" Bruno asks
"Sure thing" Giorno, Mista, and Narancia say in unison. Abbacchio stood silently
"Good. Now, he will be arriving very soon" Bruno says. Everyone sat at their designated spot. Doppio opened the door and walked in
"Bruno Bucciarati" Doppio says
"Thanks for coming" Bruno says. Doppio sat down at the remaining spot
"The boss sent me to discuss the Requiem Arrow as you may have heard. The Stand Arrow is what gave each and every one of you stands...well...except for Giorno Giovanna here" Doppio says. Everyone looked at him for a brief time then turned back to the pink haired man
"Go on" Bruno says
"The Requiem Arrow is special. The boss has been researching it for some time now. It can grant Stands evolution to a high enough level that it would make Ragyo Kiryuin look like a bug" Doppio says
"That power…" Abbacchio says
"Do you have something to say Leone Abbacchio?" Doppio asks
"That power...cannot be in the hands of Satsuki Kiryuin" Abbacchio says
"I agree. Which is why I will inform you that the arrow is in possession of a trusted figure" Doppio says
"A trusted figure. The boss?" Giorno asks
"No Giorno. Jean Pierre Polnareff. One of the men that traveled with Jotaro Kujo to defeat Dio Brando" Doppio says
"Seriously?" Narancia asks
"Where is he? Do you know his location?" Bruno asks
"He is coming here to personally deliver it to you. He is on the down low and being cautious right now. Satsuki Kiryuin is keeping a close eye as she is thinking of taking the arrow for herself." Doppio says
"Taking the arrow?" Giorno asks. Abbacchio stood up
"For what? She doesn't even have a stand" Abbacchio says
"But with the arrow. She can become a user, and she could have the power of a Requiem Stand. For someone as evil as her, we cannot allow that" Doppio says. Abbacchio growled and sat back down
"What about Ryuko?" Giorno asks
"Mankanshoku's friend?" Doppio asks
"Yeah" Giorno says
"She has her hands full with the Club Captains. But she could be a large help for us. Talk to her about it" Doppio says
"I will" Giorno says
"Also. I want to ask you a question" Bruno says
"What?" Doppio asks
"Where is the boss right at this moment?" Bruno asks. Doppio stayed silent for a minute
"I...I can't say" Doppio says
"Why not?" Bruno asks
"He told me I couldn't" Doppio says
Last Night in an Unknown Location
A man put down the phone. There was barely any light, and it was almost impossible to see Doppio or the Boss
"What if he asks of your location?" Doppio asks
"Do not tell them where I am. It would ruin everything" The Passione Boss says
"But they deserve to know. Our time has come at last" Doppio says
"NO! DO NOT TELL THEM!" The boss shouts
Present Day
Doppio began to remember that night.
"Is that…" Giorno says
"Unfortunately. He sometimes will remember things randomly and take almost five minutes just daydreaming. Sometimes I wonder what is going on his head" Mista says
"Strange" Giorno says
Honnoji Academy
Ryuko transformed her Scissor Blade into a smaller blade that could fit in her pocket
"Wow Ryuko. You're able to shrink your scissors like that" Mako says
"Last night. Me and Senketsu were able to figure it out" Ryuko says
"Speaking of last night. I was able to read your body weight and your BMR" Senketsu says. Ryuko jumped up
"YOU DID WHAT!?" Ryuko shouts
"And I'll say. You have to watch what you put in your body" Senketsu says
"MY WEIGHT AND BMR ARE NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!" Ryuko shouts
"Wow. It's like a comedy act with only one person" Mako says. She was hit with dozens of needles seconds after saying that.
"What the hell" Ryuko says. Kinagase came towards the two. He had two guns in his hand
"Ryuko Matoi" Kinagase says
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER!?" Ryuko asks
"Don't worry. I injected her with healing needles. They'll heal her completely. She'll be awake in three, two, one" Kinagase says. Mako was awake, and all the needles fell off her
"I feel...AMAZING!" Mako shouts
"There are just two things you need to know. One, that kamui you are wearing is highly dangerous, and two, I need you to come with me" Kinagase says
"Like hell I will" Ryuko says
"Then I'll have to take it by force" Kinagase says.
"Not so fast" A voice says. Ryuko and Kinagase look to the side to see Nonon Jakuzure ready to fight
"It's her" Kinagase says
"That's right. Even if Matoi is the enemy right now, you are not permitted in this school" Jakuzure says to Kinagase
"Is that so...looks like I'm outnumbered" Kinagase says. A smokebomb goes off and he disappears. Jakuzure goes after him but Ryuko stays put
Later that day
Mikisugi was at a bar sipping some wine.
"He's right here Ryuko" Giorno says. He, Mista, and Narancia were with Ryuko
"HEY!" Ryuko shouts. Mikisugi sipped some more wine. "SOMEONE TRIED TO TAKE AWAY SENKETSU TODAY!" Ryuko shouts
"Kinagase…" Mikisugi says
"Who?" Ryuko asks
"Tsumugu Kinagase. He's a part of the organization known as Nudist Beach. We're to stop Satsuki Kiryuin from taking over the country" Mikisugi says
"So...you're also with Bucciarati?" Ryuko asks
"No. The Passione Gang wants to stop Satsuki's mother, and they rather keep their clothes on...even with that window in Giorno's shirt" Mikisugi says. Narancia and Mista stared at Giorno's chest
"Uh…" Giorno says
"Ryuko. It's okay. I'll be fine" Senketsu says
"Kinagase believes that kamui will become dangerous and eventually destroy all of the country. He also decided to bring Doppio here, an associate of Passione's head boss" Mikisugi says
"Can't you convince him to not try to take Senketsu away. Satsuki Kiryuin has a kamui too now, if he takes away Senketsu then Satsuki will never be defeated" Ryuko says
"True. I believe the kamui is dangerous too, but you have proven there is nothing to worry about" Mikisugi says
"Hold on Mikisugi. If Kinagase tries to attack tommorrow, I'll make sure he doesn't grab Senketsu" Giorno says
"You'd...do that?" Ryuko asks
"Of course. We need all the help we can get if we are to defeat Satsuki" Giorno says
"Hmmmm...I'll allow it" Mikisugi says
"Thank you" Ryuko says. She and the other three leave
Satsuki's Room
Satsuki had Inumuta research the Requiem Arrow
"Inumuta...where is Iori?" Satsuki asks
"He's on his way. He may have learned who possesses the Requiem Arrow" Inumuta says
"Sorry I'm late Lady Satsuki" A male voice says. A blonde man in a lab coat came into the room
"Shiro Iori. Report" Satsuki says
"Lady Satsuki. I can confirm to you that the arrow is in this city. The one who possesses it remains unknown" Iori says
"That's a good portion of information. You and Inumuta are now to work on finding the man" Satsuki says
"Do you want us to go after the possessor?" Inumuta asks
"No...I will take him on, since the possessor is possibly a stand user" Satsuki says. She leaves the room
The next day
Ryuko, Giorno, Mako, and Mista looked around. They didn't see anything notable
"Looks like he's not here" Giorno says
"Hey Mista. If he does come, wouldn't you be able to see the needles coming?" Mako asks
"I believe so. They can be deflected with my Sex Pistols" Mista says
"Why the name?" Mako asks
"Araki picked the name. Not me" Mista says
"Who's Araki?" Mako asks
"We don't have time for any small talk. He could…" Giorno says. He sees needles coming towards him. Mista's stand, Sex Pistols came out and deflected all of the needles. None managed to hit the group. Ryuko came out and saw Kinagase coming after her. Giorno stood next to her
"Giorno Giovanna. You're making a mistake" Kinagase says
"No. She needs her kamui" Giorno says
"You're meddling in things you don't understand. This fight is between me and Matoi" Kinagase says
"Hey. He's actually trying to make sure my kamui doesn't get taken away" Ryuko says
"Then there are two things you should know. One, your stand won't be able to defeat me alone. Two, in the end, that kamui will come with me" Kinagase says
"And three, the kamui will stay on her body" Giorno says. Golden Experience comes out
"We'll see about that" Kinagase says. He shoots a bunch of needles. Ryuko was able to deflect some of them. Golden Experience was able to deflect some as well
"Well. You're both very fast. But are you this fast?" Kinagase asks. A smokebomb went off and things began to become unclear
"MISTA!" Giorno shouts
"SEX PISTOLS!" Mista shouts. A bunch of needles came out but they were all deflected away.
"Alright. We're doing it that way" Giorno says. He steps on a couple of needles and transforms them into roaches. They began to go towards Kinagase.
"What?" Kinagase asks confused.
"MUDA!" Golden Experience shouts as he punches Kinagase in the face hard. Ryuko comes out and kicks him in the stomach. Giorno graba the roaches and transforms them back into needles
"That's your stand ability. Life bringing" Kinagase says.
"That's how we won" Ryuko says
"Look. We don't want to take it much farther. You took a pretty bad punch from Golden Experience" Giorno says
"I know" Kinagase says.
"Listen. How about I make you a deal" Giorno says
"Hm. I'll listen" Kinagase says
"If Ryuko's kamui for whatever reason goes haywire, I'll use Golden Experience to stop it" Giorno says
"That...sounds like some type of good deal. I'll take it, but I'm coming back if any signs of it going haywire come out" Kinagase says
"It was that easy. Thanks Giorno" Ryuko says
"I got to take Doppio back anyway. He gave Bucciarati the information already" Kinagase says
"Whoever this Polnareff guy is. We'll find him" Giorno says
"Polnareff. Interesting. I guess I'll be on my way" Kinagase says. He walks away. Mista and Mako were eating croquettes
"Oh. You guys are done" Mako says
"It was that easy" Mista says
Highway
Kinagase was taking Doppio home on his motorcycle
"Hey Doppio" Kinagase says
"Yeah" Doppio says
"Say hi to the boss for me" Kinagase says
"I sure will" Doppio says. He began to breath harder and hang onto his head
"Doppio" Kinagase says
"Pull over" Doppio says. Kinagase pulls over. The pink haired member grew a different eye color
"Doppio" Kinagase says.
"Tsumugu Kinagase. Did you not realize at all?" Doppio says. Suddenly, a different voice comes out
"Something tells me I'm not speaking to Doppio anymore" Kinagase says
"No. I am Passione's true boss. There are two souls in this body. One being me and the other being Doppio. Our shared goal is to kill Ragyo Kiryuin" The Passione Boss says
"So that's your motive. I see. Then are two things you should know, Nudist Beach will help you and that there wasn't much of a need to be extra scary" Kinagase says
"You threatened to take away that kamui from Ryuko Matoi. She is an ally to Passione. She must not be touched" The Passione Boss says
"You're defending Matoi. Interesting. Why not reveal yourself earlier?" Kinagase asks
"Because I must remain in secret for now" The Passione Boss says
"I see" Kinagase says. Doppio's eyes change color
"Huh...did he...do something?" Doppio asks. His voice came back to him
"No...nothing important. Now to get you home" Kinagase says
Satsuki's Room
Satsuki was sipping tea in her room. Iori and Inumuta ran in
"LADY SATSUKI!" Iori shouts
"What is it?" Satsuki asks
"We may have found who is wielding the arrow" Iori says
"Who?" Satsuki asks
"His name is Jean Pierre Polnareff. Backup evidence is Giorno mentioning the arrow and Polnareff in the same sentence" Iori says
"Oh. So Giorno did" Satsuki says
"But no one has encountered him. Maybe we'll have to force him out somehow" Inumuta says
"He'll come out when he does. And I'll take care of it for now. But in the meantime" Satsuki says. She steps up and pulls up a picture of Bucciarati. "I will challenge Bruno Bucciarati to a duel. Me and him facing off against each other"
"Are you sure Lady Satsuki. You barely harmed him against Matoi" Inumuta says
"I am aware. I want to see how we do" Satsuki says
The next day
The Passione Gang along with Ryuko and Mako were walking inside the academy. A shining light came down upon the group
"BRUNO BUCCIARATI!" Satsuki shouts. She walks down the stairs that lead to the ground level. Behind her was Sanageyama, Jakuzure, Inumuta, and Gamagori.
"Looks like we got company" Bruno says. He walked towards her. Behind him was Giorno, Abbacchio, Narancia, and Mista. The two groups walked closer towards each other
"I would like to propose to you something tommorrow" Satsuki says
"Sure. What would it be?" Bruno asks
"I would like to challenge you to a duel. Me and you tommorrow. Giorno Giovanna, Ghirga, Mista, and Abbacchio will get special seats with my Elite Four" Satsuki says
"So...you want to finish what we started when you almost killed Ryuko?" Bruno asks
"Yes. Junketsu vs your Zipper Man" Satsuki says. Bruno smiles
"I'll gladly accept. Tommorrow, be prepared for I will not hold back" Bruno says
"That's how I like my opponents" Satsuki says. The two continued to stare at each other. The Student Council President was the first to move and turn back
"Bucciarati" Abbacchio says
"Don't worry. I'm gonna win. My stand is faster and my abilities are superior." Bruno says
"And what if you lose?" Ryuko asks
"Then I'll question my own fighting skills...and dignity" Bruno says
"No...you have the confidence to win. We'll sit next to her Elite Four just because" Abbacchio says
"YOU CAN DO IT BRUNO!" Mako shouts
"Thanks. I'm gonna need it for tommorrow" Bruno says
Note: Diavolo is gonna be more of an anti-hero in this series. He wants to take down Ragyo Kiryuin but something is gonna make him want to take down Giorno and the others. He won't be like how he is in canon JoJo
