[A/N] Warning: This story will be HEAVILY similar to the scenes these two animes come from. So if you don't like the fact that some of these scenes are like the ones in the original series, then please don't complain about that. Oh, and there will be some age alterations in this, but the characters will still retain their original looks.

"There's stories about every hero. How they became great. Most have one thing in common: Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think. Their strong sense of Justice or determination made them move towards what they thought was right. Whether it was for greed, fame or some other selfish reason, there's one thing that all heroes can agree on. They protect others before themselves. That's what a true hero is. That birthmark of yours shows your blood is that of a noble one, and that you're fated to be a hero among heroes. Though you were born of evil intent by a man of eviler blood, your sense for what is right makes you a true Joestar."

"My name... Is Giorno Giovanna. And I have a dream that I know is just."

"Excuse me!" A few girls said running up to Giorno.

"Hm?"

"Do you know how we can get to the nearest mall?"

"You're gonna want to keep going forward that way and then take a right, and then you..."

"Aha! I knew it was in that direction!" One friend said to another.

"Alright... Thank you very much for your he-" The first friend goes to thank Giorno but gets pushed by a man. She accidentally splatters her ice cream on Giorno's coat.

"Are you alright?" Giorno asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She responds. "Sorry for hitting you on your walk, sir."

"Just watch where you're going next time..." The man growls while pocketing the lady's wallet.

Giorno spies this fact and just as the man lets go of the wallet, he snatches it back. He turns around with the wallet in hand and holds it outwards.

"Hey, miss. I think you dropped this." Giorno said to her.

"Oh! Thank you so much!" She responded.

A few seconds after the women walk away from the handsome man, a duo of butterflies fly onto Giorno's shoulder. He comes into contact with such creatures and they turn into two bills of 10,000 yen. Giorno smiles and pockets the cash.

"I'll take that as a fee for my kind acts today." Giorno said smiling and walking away.

About 80% of today's population now has some sort of uncanny ability. Comic books were now the new reality and heroes became an official profession. It was a new era.
Giorno walked down the street and saw a large shark-like man knock down a metal structure. A man with yellow and black wristbands, headband and waistband caught the object as it fell from the bridge above, where the villain was.

"Way to go, Death Arms!" A bystander yelled.

"The punching hero!" Another person said. "I wish I had a Quirk that made me super strong..."

Suddenly, a barrier blocked off civilians and police from getting in the zone. The barrier was made of a water-like substance and made Xs across it.

"Everyone, stay back! This area is far too dangerous!" A hero announced.

"The rescue specialist, Backdraft!" A person in the crown said surprised.

"This guy must've been super desperate to commit a crime in the middle of the city." Another person muttered.

Giorno looked on at the spectacle in a bland expression.

'Some low level thug, huh? Looks like this will be decided quickly.' Giorno thought walking away.

A shadow zooms above the crowd and towards the villain. A bunch of women start to yell out the hero's name.

"Kamui Woods!" They yelled.

Giorno wasn't bothered by the scene, so he left on his own accords. He was late to his 'job' as a taxi driver who in reality scams everyone who tries to ride with him. Even though he technically isn't allowed to drive, he looks about the age of 20, so cops assume that he's allowed to drive. He also lives on his own in an apartment near the center of Musutafu. Sometimes when Giorno is caught driving without a licence, he bribes the police to turn a blind-eye. Even though he does these devilish acts, Giorno isn't that bad of a person at heart. He constantly strives for his golden dream of preventing harm upon the weak and those who didn't deserve what came to them. A man with brown hair and a shovel being heaved along side them walked up to Giorno in his thoughts.

"You're Giorno Giovanna, right?" The man said to to blonde.

Giorno nodded and the shovel man ushered him to follow. They walk down the sidewalk away from the ongoing fight towards a nearby park, which at this time was empty apart from them. The trees quivered in the soft breeze and the pathways emanated a peaceful aura about the turf.

"We haven't met before, have we?" He asked.

A few strands of hair moved across the man's neck.

"Do you know who I am?" The man asked.

"'Leaky Eye' Luca." Giorno responded towards the man. "You were in a fight a while back and you were pushed too far and took a knife across your face. But you kept fighting and swinging despite the fact you were blind in one eye and injured all around your face. The outcomes from that battle left you with a perpetual leaking eye. Thus you were nicknamed 'Leaky Eye' Luca."

Luca sits down on a nearby stone bench and used a handkerchief to wipe away his running eye.

"Come. Take a seat." He offered. "Now, how old are you?"

"15." Giorno responded.

Yes, you heard that right. This mass of muscle is not 17, nor 16, but 15.

"What!? Haha, you're like a baby!" Luca responded. "Now listen here, kid. A firm friendship is build upon the 3 Ts. You've heard about them, haven't you? In case your mind is numbing, the first is being truthful, the second one is tolerance, last but definitely not least is tribute. And bam, you have the 3 Ts of a good friendship."

"Is this supposed to be important or-?"

Luca shoves the handle of his shovel against Giorno's cheek pushing down on it hardly.

"Shut up! I'm not finished you, dolt! Nobody said I was done with your lessons yet, child! I heard you did a hustle at the airport earlier today! Surely you know what I'm talking about and what this entails? After all, I don't remember you giving me any tribute! And without tribute, how will we stay on good terms? Huh? Now hand over the money."

"I think you have this wrong. I've already paid you. I don't have any money, either." Giorno talked back.

"You've got to be stupid to think I'd believe that half-assed lie! Now I'll just take your wallet and we'll be on our way!" Luca said opening Giorno's wallet. Inside of the pocketbook was a print of a blonde and brawny man posing with a star on his back. "What is this? A family photo? Possibly of your poor dad? It doesn't matter, though. What does matter is that you're holding back on me, little man! Hand over the cash!"

"Mister Luca, I really don't like repeating myself. And as I already said, I don't owe you anything. Now don't make me tell you a third time now."

Luca swings his sharpened shovel directly towards Giorno's collar, narrowly missing. He implants his shovel upon the earth beneath his soles and glares onto the blonde.

"Testa di cazzo!" Luca outbursts.

His shouting is interrupted by the squishing hops of a frog ascending Giorno's leg.

"Time out.
What. Is. That." Luca says pointing at the frog.

'So it got back...' Giorno thought.

"Crush it. Throw it away. I don't care." Luca says.

"No. The frog didn't do anything. Attacking an innocent lifeform is pointless." Giorno responded.

"THAT WASN'T A FREAKING SUGGESTION! AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T PAID ME YET! ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO IGNORE ME SO?! YOU'VE GOT SOME BALLS OF STEEL THERE, KID! MAYBE THAT'S WHY YOU LOOK LIKE AN ADULT! NOBODY IS GONNA SAY TWICE TO ME AGAIN!" Luca yelled.

"This frog is a living being. It has a will of it's own and it has nothing against you. I will not harm it. Let us just go our other directions." Giorno responded.

"Your really starting to get on my nerves! Just kill it already!" Luca said smashing his shovel onto the frog.

They both stop in their movements for a second.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, 'pal'. An attack on this little guy is an attack on yourself. And a fatal one." Giorno said as Luca fell over with the imprint of his own shovel on the back of his head. A star birthmark is now seen clearly on Giorno's shoulder. "I told you not to make me repeat myself a third time. It's a big waste of time."

The frog then turns into a suitcase.

"Totally muda."

Chapter 1: Beginning of a Golden Wind

Giorno was like every other student as well. He went to a cozy middle school with some common people. Though he liked the attention, he didn't like how girls always fawned over him and his muscles. In class the teacher was talking about their future outside of middle school.

"I could give out some career aptitude tests... But why bother?" The teacher said.

The rest of the class started to activate their quirks.

"I know you all want to go to the hero track!" The teacher continued.

The class started to squeal and yell happily as they showed off their quirks and abilities. Giorno and one other was the exception, however. Nobody had ever seen Giorno use or talk about his quirk, so they assumed he was quirkless. And then there was a kid called Izuku Midoriya, better known in the school as 'Deku'. The only one Giorno imagined to actually make it into a hero course was another kid named Katsuki Bakugou. Midoriya and Giorno occasionally talked but not as much as being called a friend and Bakugou was a jerk.

"Yes yes you all have some pretty impressive quirks. But no power usage in the class."

"Hey. Teach." Bakugou spoke. "Don't let me in with these bunch of losers. I'm the real deal but these guys will be lucky to end up a sidekick to some busted D-lister."

"You definitely have some impressive test results..." The teacher complimented. "Maybe you will get into UA High."

The crowd of kids were whispering to each other about Bakugou and how he's going to go to the national school.

"Yup! I aced all the mock-tests. I'm the only one at this school who has any form of luck to get into that school." Bakugou announced once more. "I'll end up more popular and strong than All Might himself! I'll also be the richest person of all time! People all over will know my name!"

"Oh yeah, Midoriya, don't you also want to get in to UA too?" The teacher said.

...

...

...

The class burst into a fit of laughter and mockery. Everyone knew that Deku was actually quirkless and didn't in fact have a secret power. Even Giorno threw a snicker in along with the crowd about Deku's impossible dream. But then Giorno stopped and took pity on the boy.

"You can't possibly get into UA without a quirk!" A boy exclaimed.

"A-Actually they got rid of that rule!" Deku said.

Bakugou launched a fist at Midoriya and he went flying off his seat.

"Listen here Deku. You're worse than all of these rejects!"

"It seems like Giorno has signed up for that school as well." The teacher once again annoucned.

You could feel the tension rise in the room.

"I understand that Giorno is going. He's pretty strong on his own and has some good smarts." A kid said.

'Good smarts?' Giorno thought.

"HAHAHA! You'll both just die in the exams!" Bakugou laughed. "Izuku! Do you really want to embarrass our school even more by applying? And funny-haired guy, don't think for a second I'll allow you to get in. You're basically as useless as Deku but only slightly better."

"Don't make fun of Giorno like that, Bakugou." The girls berated him after that.

'I guess that's another good part of being popular' Giorno imagined once again.

A few days later after school, Giorno took the train back downtown to get home. Giorno quickly read the paper to see that All Might had just recently beat a sludge monster villain. He puts away the paper onto the seat next to him. The sights on the way were relaxing as he saw the strewn about shops and the plants that grew outside them. Giorno opened the window and a fresh breeze of lavender invaded his senses. The grinding of the train was relaxing and Giorno put his head down upon his arm, leaning outwards into the world beyond the glass. The wind blew a cool refreshing breeze through the blonde's hair and he was entirely entranced by the amber light shining onto his face. The people's shoes inside the train made satisfying clicks every time they took a step and everyone kept their voices down. A ring breached the soothing silence for it to be revealed a small coin, reverberating it did as it clanked against the plated steps. A man sauntered up to the ground in which the coin layed. He had zippers all along his body and a white suit accompanying such bold designs on his body. Giorno looked on at the man in wonder.

"Is this perhaps yours?" The man asked Giorno.

"It's not." Giorno responded plainly.

"My apologies. It seems like it's my lucky day then." He said pocketing the change.

The man strode over to where Giorno sat and perched on a seat in front of him. The man chuckled and looked at Giorno with the intent to talk once more.

"Tell me, if you were to suddenly come across a bag on this tram banking at somewhere around 10,000,000 yen inside, would you turn it in?" The man inquired.

"You're joking, right?" Giorno laughed. "Have you ever heard of something like finders keepers?"

The man simply laughed along and smiled at Giorno.

"At least you're honest. Fine, what if I was really an officer in disguise and saw the entire experience?" The fellow questioned again.

"Ah..." Giorno pondered. "Well, I'd let you mosey off with half the money to pretend you didn't see that."

The guy chuckled in genuine glee as he processed Giorno's answer.

"Now that's the spirit!" The man said replying. "By the way you said it I don't doubt you would. The expression you're holding isn't one of dishonesty. You see, I have a special thing I've picked up on that tells me whenever someone is truthful. I don't often make mistakes about it. I can tell if someone is lying by seeing how a person's face glistens with sweat. It's usually the first sign of a liar. But what does matter more is the liquid's flavor." The man then licks his lips.

"Sir, who exactly are you? And why are you asking me all these questions?" Giorno asked.

"Leaky Eye Luca got his head bashed in with his own spade and was conveniently found lying on the outskirts of a park. It looks critical and I don't think he'll ever wake up again. And I've come here to find out who exactly did it! Now let's talk, no one has the brightest idea on why Luca was killed or why he was in a park in the first place. However, I spoke with a few passerby citizens who claimed to see what happened and was told that a man with golden hair and purple vestments did it. If it's not too much trouble maybe we can talk more about it."

"Chat, huh? You a hero or something?" Giorno asked.

"Don't be ridiculous. Luca wasn't any normal thug, he was a part of a large scale organization. Even though he had the touch of being hated, people wanted to know how and why he died. A member of our family has died and we must know why. The boss ordered me to find the one who did it. So make this easy and cooperate. Did you meet Leaky Eye Luca at such park?"

"Lucky who? Sorry, never heard of him."

They stared into each other's cold dead eyes. The train comes to a halt and the doors open to let people out.

"It seems you are innocent. Alright, I'll get going." The man said walking off.

Giorno sighs slightly and looks down at his hand. He feels something off about his palm so he opens it up. A spherical object is present in Giorno's hand and he quickly identified as a human eye. Giorno flinched and dropped the eye onto the floor and reeled back in surprise.

"N-Nani!? What is this?! I had my fist closed that entire time!" Giorno raised his voice saying.

"You're looking at Luca's right eye. He's currently not out and about so I decided to take that with me." The man reaches in through the window and licks Giorno's face. "What is this? That's the distinct taste of a liar! Right? Giorno Giovanna!"

The man steps back upon the tram and goes over towards Giorno.

"I'm incredibly sorry, I had said our questioning was over. But it seems the stances have changed. Wouldn't you agree, Giorno? I now know you've lied to me, but why? Don't be shy, amigo. I'm very interested in what you have to SAY!" He said punching Giorno in the face. He turned around to see many people look on at the situation. "What's wrong with all of you? You jealous of Giorno here? I'd gladly allow you the pleasure of getting socked as well." The civilians turn around like nothing happened. "You may call me Bruno Bucciarati and your questioning has turned to torture!"

Suddenly, a whole hand of fingers slips through Giorno's mouth and onto the floor. Saliva lined the metallic floors where the severed fingers ended up.

"What do you think of my power? It's pretty scary, don't you think?" Bruno said.

"A-Are those-?!"

"Luca's fingers. Now it's my turn to confess. Luca bit the big one thanks to our boss. He didn't think about keeping dead weight around."

'Damn it! What is his power!?' Giorno thought.

"Oh, and my only trick isn't to track down your lies. I have other tricks up my sleeve. As you can see I can fit almost anything inside your mouth. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) For example... I could easily put that fire extinguisher inside your throat. Of course if I did, you would die instantly."

A zipper started to open on Giorno's cheek.

"Now, talk!"

Giorno was punched back hard against the back of the train.

"Does your head feel like it's about to fall off? Though I'm pretty sure you have no idea what I've done to you. Giorno Giovanna. If I wanted to, I could zip off your head and use it as a football while I torture you into telling me who killed Luca.

'He's powerful. I don't think I'll stand against him as I am. He'll tear me limb from limb!' Giorno thought. 'I only started to use this ability of mine a few months ago, but I've never used Golden Experience to physically harm another person... When Golden Experience hits something, I can choose to imbue it with life. I can make any object turn into any living thing. But I have no idea what will happen if I hit another living thing with the same power!'

"Answer me, Giorno Giovanna!" Bruno said about to strike once more.

'I have to fight back!'

"Muda!" Giorno cried as his Quirk manifested next to him, punching Bucciarati backwards.

"N-Nani!? Y-You... Have a Stand! So you did know what was happening to you!"

"A what?"

"So this confirms that you did indeed kill Luca!" Bucciarati yelled as he threw another punch at Giorno and his Stand.

"Ahhhh! Muda!"

Bruno was flung backward hard and a surge of energy flowed into him. Bruno landed onto his back far from where he previously stood and the civilians stood there scared. Some of them called for a hero to come. Giorno recalled Golden Experience and walked over to the currently laying down Bruno. The body twitched and started to get up.

'Didn't I hit him head-on? How is he still fighting?'

Bruno got up and attempted to use a pole to stand up, but he instead easily crushed the bar with his bare hands. He let go of it and attempted to get back up.

"N-Nani? What did you just do, Giorno Giovanna!"

Bruno zoomed at incredible speed upwards in a burst of light.

"I-I just tried to stand! But instead I'm going the speed of light! I'm bursting with unbridled energy! I can feel even more and more energy pile up inside of my body! It's as if I've been given two times as much energy!"

Golden Experience manifested and punched towards Bucciarati, but it's movements were incredibly slow. Bruno instantly avoided the attack upon him. He zoomed around the train faster than the mind could comprehend.

"Could it be that Giorno's ability gives people energy!? You're a fool to attack with such a power! Take this, Giorno Giovanna!" Bruno yelled as he sped into Giorno's face. The moment he touched Giorno, he passed through him like a ghost. He then looked beyond Giorno and back towards where he originally stood, only to see himself. "N-Nani!? I can see myself back there! The handle's not even bent! There's something wrong here... Wait, I need to dodge!"

Golden Experience's fist collided with Bruno's face. Suddenly, the whole world slowed down and their fist slowly melded with his own face. A tooth gets lodged out of Bucciarati's mouth and falls like a feather to the floor.

"It hurts so badly! Why does it hurt so badly?! It's not that I was surging with power, I was simply having my mind go berserk! He imbued my body with more energy than I could handle and made my mind more precise! But that also slowed down everything around me and made my pain last even longer, and sharper! In exchange for heightened senses, I became more vulnerable to pain!"

Time seemed to go forward once more.

"Muda!"

Giorno looked down at the man who tried to kill him.

"The heroes are on their way!" A civilian announced.

"Sticky fingers!" Bruno yelled as his Stand materialized.

"So that's his Stand..."

The civilians started to all push the emergency stop buttons and the tram stopped. Everyone got outside of the vehicle and ran away. A shadow loomed overhead and landed down in front them. Giorno instantly recognized the new face. It was All Might. Giorno was intimidated by the man's large size and muscles and bowed before him. He turned back towards the man, but he has disappeared.

"Oh no." Giorno muttered.

"Fear not! Because I am here! Hey, kid. I was told that there was some sort of fight here, and you were a part of it. Where's the other guy?" All Might said smiling as usual.

Giorno bent down to pick up Bruno's lost tooth and turned back towards All Might.

"I'm sorry, but this feud is strictly between both of us. There's no need for you to intervene." Giorno responded.

"That wasn't me asking. I said I need to know where the other guy is."

"I have no idea. He may have use his ability to zipper through the ground..." Giorno muttered the last part.

"That's a shame, I guess I'll go find him myself. You stay here in the meantime."

"That's not needed. I already know how to find him."

"?"

"What's your problem!? You stupid fly!" A guy yelled as he smacked away the fly.

Suddenly, the same force was projected back at the kid and subsequently, Bruno Bucciarati. Bruno used his ability to place a zipper on the back of a kid, allowing him to slide inside. Bruno unzipped the zipper and was forced out. The fly then transformed back into Bucciarati's tooth that was knocked out.

"A-A tooth?" Bruno said climbing out of the kid.

"I gave that tooth of yours a new life as a fly. I knew it would've come back to you and reveal where you were hiding."

"And I am here to bring you to justice!" All Might yelled from behind.
'In all seriousness, this kid is super smart with that Quirk of his.'

"Giorno Giovanna, I can see now that your ability is a strong one, and one that shouldn't be messed with. You both leave me with no choice. It may be dangerous, but I must face you both head-on. Much to my dismay. All might, I know I cannot beat you, but I have to get revenge for what he did to Leaky Eye Luca." Bruno said.

All Might stood there smiling and simply stood there. Giorno could've sworn he saw All Might start to steam, but that was just in his imagination.

"This battle will be decided on who gets the hit in first. Now, come at me! Giorno Giovanna!"

The two threw a few punches but all of them were wither parried or the missed. All All Might saw was two people staring at each other and flinching and assumed they didn't start fighting yet. He was afraid that if he stepped in at the wrong time, this Bruno guy would've zipped apart Giorno in an instant. So he waited. But then after a few seconds, Bruno's arm started to glow with energy.

"You're senses will now go berserk." Giorno said leaping Golden Experience at Bucciarati. It was parried by a punch to the stomach, though.

Bruno leaped slightly forward and used his bare hands to punch Giorno. All Might suddenly saw him get forced far backwards with zippers covering his whole body. All Might stepped forward and caught the boy before he hit the ground.

"Your next line will be: 'I hit him first, so how did I get hit?' Correct?" Bruno said.

"I hit him first, so how- ?!"

"I don't blame you for wondering that. This actually isn't my arm. My ability, Sticky Fingers, allows me to unzip and zip things together. You get what I'm saying? And All Might, if you were to defeat me right now, then that kid's arm will be instantly cut off, and neither of us want that, do we?" Bruno said taking off half of his coat to reveal the zipped on arm. He slowly removed it. "It's not ideal, but neither of us will feel the pain of your ability."

Bruno looked down at the arm that just fell off him and suddenly changed the look in his eyes. Giorno took this chance and took his own arm and squeezed it until blood gushed out. All Might looked down and was astonished at even the thought of this kid doing this to himself. He also couldn't move because that kid's arm was on the line.

"What are you going to do?! Giorno Giovanna! I'm ending this now!"

Suddenly, Giorno rips off his own arm and throws it at Bruno. He imbued his hand with Golden Experience's ability. All Might looked on at the situation and stared wide-eyed at the tenacity that Giorno showed to break off his own arm.

'Unbelievable... He ripped off his own arm just to win this fight?!' All might thought.

"Golden Experience!" Giorno yelled as more energy flowed into Bruno.

Time slowed down once more for Bruno and Giorno walked closer. Bucciarati saw himself standing in front of him and flinched. He breathed in sharply as the projection of the blonde stepped forward and take a loud step across the concrete.

"If I have to experience that aching pain once more, or even multiple times... Then I'd die of shock before the blood exited my body!" Bruno said to himself.

Giorno raised his fist and walked up closer to Bruno.

"No, please! Stop!" Bruno said in his state.

Suddenly, time resumed as normal and the boy walked past him and placed the kid's arm back across his shoulder as the zipper disappeared. Giorno knelt down to the kid to see if he was okay. All Might looked confused as to why he wouldn't hit him.

"Wh-What are you doing?!" Bruno yelled.

All Might zoomed behind Bucciarati and took him by each arm.

"Why didn't you attack me just now?!" Bruno exclaimed once more.

"...
Because you're a good person, Bruno Bucciarati." Giorno said.

"?!
You can't be serious, kid. He just tried to kill you!" All Might said.

"You're in a mafia, but you have a good heart. When you hesitated before you attacked me, so I decided I would hesitate as well. When you looked at the arm of the kid, you noticed he'd been shooting up drugs. I wonder how old he is?" Giorno said pulling out the kid's wallet to identify him. "He's 13."

The other two flinched after hearing the kid's age.

"If you were a brutish villain, then you'd be throwing my body into the river by now. But you're different then them. That is why I stopped attacking. There are vile people in the world who who sell drugs to kids and women just to make a simple profit. They're unforgivable to prey on them like that. I can tell you can feel the same way. But the one supplying those evil pouches is your boss. You are conflicted on what you should do about it. That's why you hesitated in shock as you saw the arm more closely."

"So what? How does this relate to me attacking you? I was ordered to do away with the one who killed Luca. Just because you stopped attacking doesn't necessarily mean that I won't attack you again."

"No. I believe you won't kill me now."

"Nani?"

"You won't kill me and I know it." Giorno repeated.

"Why would you say that?" Bruno said moving his arms slightly, and then got instantly restrained harder by All Might.

"Because you're going to help me."

"?!"

"?!"

"You're going to help me get rid of your boss and help me keep this city safe."

'N-Nani?' Bruno thought.

"In order to stop these people from preying on the weak, we need to take out your boss. I'm going to have to ask to join you in your gang."

"Kid, your heart reminds me of one of a hero. Why become a gangster?" All Might questioned.

"Are you serious?!" Bucciarati yelled.

"Yes. If I'm going to free the city, I'll need to gain trust from the inside and work my way up.
Bucciarati, I'm going to become a Gang-Star!"

"..."

"..."

"All Might, you can let him go."

"Giorno, was it? I can't let this guy go, he assaulted you."

"And I forgive him."

"..."

"If this is what you want, then so be it. Just don't go around hurting others, you hear me?" All Might said to Bruno, letting him go.

"I'll report back that I didn't find Luca's attacker and then have you go through the initiation process. It may just be the start, but your resolve is undeniable. You have my support."
