CHAPTER 4

When Clare and Josuke arrived at the clinic that the Seven Heavenly Virtues were at, she was greeted by the Virtue of Kindness, Sariel. When Sariel asked what the problem was, Josuke explained everything, adding to the fact that Koichi was hurt badly.

"Oh, my…" said Sariel. Let us have a look. Sariel later took Koichi to a room.

"What is it, Sariel?" asked Michael.

"Koichi Hirose is injured." said Sariel.

"Tristan Liones was injured too, but his mother Elizabeth is taking care of him." said Josuke.

"I see well." said Sariel.

When the healing process was beginning, a knock was heard at the door. Arthur Pendragon had arrived to see Clare. But when he looked at Sariel of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, he freaked out.

"All of you are FEMALE?!" asked Arthur.

"Um…yeah…" said Michael.

"I'm sorry, did I make you people uncomfortable?" asked Arthur. "If I did…I'm really terribly sorry."

"Um…no." said Raphael of Temperance. "When Josuke saw us for the first time a couple of weeks ago, he thought that some of us were male because some, like me and Michael, have boy's names."

"Oh, I see." Arthur said. "I came for Clare's presence. That's…why I came here."

"Who is Clare?" asked Michael of the Seven Heavenly Virtues.

"I'm Clare." Clare said as she slowly raised her hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Clare." said Raphael.

"Pleasure to meet you too." said Clare as she shook Raphael's right hand. "I don't know anything about you ladies, but I was requested to help this world get back in shape from Dio Brando of the Stone Mask Vampires."

"We heard about Dio's plan." said Sandalphon. "But there is one thing I do not understand…how did he take over the world?"

"Some sort of world conquering staff." said Rohan Kishibe. "Of course, now's our time to stop that bastard."

"RIght, right." said Sariel. "Well, if any of you need help, we are here to give you all the assistance you need."

"Thank you, Sariel." said Josuke. "It's a pleasure that we live in a world where all can live together as friends and family to each other."

Back at Clare's school, her seventh grade homeroom teacher, Mr. Stark, was wondering where Clare was. As he worried more and more, he contacted the principal of the school, Mrs. Colette Hampshire. When Mr. Stark was sent to the office to look at some surveillance video footage, he wondered if the videos were the answers to Clare's disappearance. Even students and other faculty members were concerned about what had happened to the school's popular star writer. But as soon as Mr. Stark discovered that Clare was in another world, he was destined to find her. Then, the news broke on all the school televisions.

"This is a Channel Seven News special report." said the news reporter on the television in Principal Hampshire's office. "Japanese Anime and Manga, Chinese Manhua, and Korean Manhwa characters are running wild. Reports are coming in saying that iconic Jojo's Bizarre Adventure villains Funny Valentine and Dio Brando have conquered the world of Asian pop culture and declared it as their own."

"WHAT?!" asked Principal Hampshire.

"New reports are pouring in, saying that a middle school student only identified by her first name Clare is set to team up with the heroes of Asian pop culture to defend their world from Lord Dio and President Valentine." said the news reporter. "Now reports are pouring in saying that Clare is said to be stuck there until the conflict is over."

"Great Scots!" said Mr. Stark.

"So that's where Clare went." said Principal Hampshire. A knock was later heard at the door. "YES?!" asked Principal Hampshire in shock. The student that told Clare about the lockers in the teacher's locker room, identified to be a seventh grade boy named Willie, came to the principal, later telling her that he had told Clare to go into the room.

"So you made Clare go into a faculty only area after school?!" asked the principal.

"Yes, Principal Hampshire!" said Willie. "Last year, someone else told me that those lockers lead people to other worlds, and I just wanted Clare to try it out!"

"But you still don't make other students trespass in the faculty-only areas of the school building, Willie." said Mr. Stark. "And I do not want to hear any more words out of your mouth."

"Yes, Mr. Stark." said Willie.

"Off you go, back to class." said Mr. Stark. "You have me soon anyways."

"At least Clare is helping get a world back in shape." said Principal Hampshire.

"Well, let's hope that these characters do not come here." said Mr. Stark.

"You can discuss that with me in the Teacher's Lounge." said the principal.

Back with Clare, Koichi was finally healed thanks to the kindness of Sariel of the Seven Heavenly Virtues. After leaving the clinic, the group tried catching Robert E. O. Speedwagon; however, no one knew where he was. Then, water was splashing all over the place. Clare wondered who it was. As she went behind the clinic, Giyu Tomioka was caught putting out a fire.

"Oh, hi." said Tomioka.

"You're the Water Hashira, aren't you?" asked Clare. "You're name's Giyu Tomioka, right?"

"You…know me?" asked Tomioka.

"I do." said Tomioka.

"Can this get any stranger and weirder than it already is?" asked Tomioka.

"Actually, it gets way stranger here, once I capture all the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps on Dio Brando's orders." said a man named Daniel J. D'Arby.

"Daniel J. D'Arby?!" asked Clare. "Of Stardust Crusaders?!"

"Eesh…a girl who knows me?! How is she not one of us?!" asked Daniel J. D'Arby.

"She's from the real world!" said Arthur Pendragon. "Please, don't take her away!"

"Hm…" said Daniel J. D'Arby. "Dio! Valentine! Come get this Water Hashira out of here!" he ordered. But as Funny Valentine and Dio Brando came to handcuff the Water Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, showed up in the nick of time, using Second Form: Rising Scorching Sun to blind Dio, Valentine, and Daniel J. D'Arby, and eventually scram then away from Giyu Tomioka.

"Phew." said Tomioka. "Again, Rengoku?"

"Just doing the job meant for a Hashira like me." said Rengoku.

"Rengoku needs to die." said Dio Brando.

"Yup. Screw that Flame Hashira, or Fire Hashira, or….WHATEVER THE HELL HE IS!" yelled Funny Valentine.

"He's known as the Flame Hashira." said Dio.

"Then I had it right the first time." said Funny Valentine. The trio later walked back to the castle hideout that Dio Brando was controlling.

"What do we do now?" asked Tomioka.

"I kinda wanna go see more people and get to know them." said Clare.

"Did I meet you before?" asked Rengoku to Clare.

"Oh, my name's Clare. I am going to help this world get back in shape and break that curse Dio started." said Clare.

"I see." said Rengoku.

"Shockingly, Clare knows us well." said Koichi.

"That's nice how she knows us well." said Rengoku. "Did she meet the Insect Hashira yet?" asked Rengoku.

"Sure did. Right when Koichi and Tristan were being tortured to their deaths." said Clare.

"I see." said Rengoku. "Can I ask what she did.

"She used some sort of butterfly dance…" said Clare.

"Insect Breathing, huh?" asked Rengoku. "Not going to forget that."

"Anyways, less chit-chat, more strategizing." said Josuke.

"Oh, right." Clare said. "Let's head out."

Meanwhile in a jungle far away from Jotato's hideout, there lived a white lion cub named Kimba. There he was accompanied by his parents, his father Caesar, and his mother Snowene. However, as they were enjoying themselves, they heard something. Caesar, father of Kimba, went to check it out. Shockingly, it was Dio Brando and the supervillain Speed-O-Sound Sonic. They had plans to kidnap Kimba and his family. When Speed-O-Sound Sonic found Caesar, he grabbed his paw.

"You think you have outwitted me, father of Kimba?" asked Speed–O-Sound Sonic.

"Let me go!" said Caesar.

"Hey!" yelled Kimba. "You let my father go!"

"He's not going to harm him or anything like that, dear one." said Dio Brando.

"Shut up!" said Snowene. "Let Caesar go!"

"I've got this from here!" said a mysterious voice.

"Genos! He came!" said Kimba. Genos, a cyborg, used his incinerating power to scare away Dio Brando and Speed-O-Sound Sonic.

"RUN!" said Dio.

"He's gonna kill us!" said Speed-O-Sound Sonic.

"You two better turn your tail and run before I incinerate you a second time!" threatened Genos to Dio and Speed-O-Sound Sonic.

"Genos…why'd you come?" asked Snowene.

"Someone is here to help us." said Genos.

"What even happened?" asked Kimba, son of Caesar and Snowene.

"Our world is being conquered by the villains. We must wipe them out." said Genos.

"I see." Kimba said.

"Come on." said Genos. "This way." The white lions later followed Genos to another location. There, Genos and the family of white lions would later cross paths with Robert E. O. Speedwagon, who would drive them to the location the real-world girl Clare was located. The drive was expected to be a long one, as Clare was traveling with Arthur Pendragon and Josuke as well as his friends Koichi and Rohan. It would be a long time before they were discovered by the lions and Genos himself. The adventurous and violent quest to save the World of Asian Culture was just beginning. This was proving to be the most violent adventure ever, even for those who have never fought in battle before. Each person was about to be prepared to fight off Dio Brando and his fellow allies and friends, even if this meant giving up what they loved the most.
