A new beginning

two months later after the Sanwakai Brawl and Ocean's Lobby events, the Duwang gang are getting ready for their first ever back-to-school Kickback.

DISCLAIMER: the ending for this chapter is when the Duwang gang are at their school's Kickback is inspired by "An Extremely Goofy movie"


at an unknown location in Southeast Morioh at night

inside the dark office, there's a man named Satori Yamaguchi sits at his desk smoking a cigarette. a pre-recorded of footage of Josuke's interview with Reporter Tokishi Zamiuko from the Sanwakai Brawl event on a monitor.

"ok, so what's so important that you wanted to show me?"

"ah, yes sir." the agent played footage from the Sanwakai Brawl interview.

"this guy with the pompadour hairstyle is Josuke Higashikata. he's the new Sanwakai Brawl king."

Satori pinched his chin, "hmm. so he broke Saboko's winning streak record, huh?"

"yes sir. this is the first time in history that he's ever been defeated. this is now global news!" Agent# 4 answered

"uh-huh, i see. i heard that his Crazy Diamond stand is so robust. such unique power."

Satori continued to pinch his chin while watching the interview. he then notices Rohan standing on the other side of Josuke.

"wait, wait! stop the video and rewind it." Agent# 4 rewinds the video then pauses it.

Satori points at Rohan on the monitor screen, "do you know who that is?"

"no, who?" Agent# 4 questioned

"that's Rohan Kishibe." Satori answered

"oh yeah. I heard about him. he's the most popular manga artist right now and his work very phenomenal and I also heard that he lives out here in Morioh. "Agent# 4 said

Satori pinched his chin again, "so he does, huh? Very interesting. well, one things for sure, it seems like our pompadour friend knows Kishibe pretty well. why don't we pay them a visit…shall we?"

Agent# 4 puzzled, "yeah and how do we do that?"

Satori stands up and swats his cane at him, "we find them, you damn idiot! what else?!"

"and I know just the plan."

[knocking]

the Agent opens the door. there was an unknown hooded person that walked inside the office while they approached Satori's desk with a full stack of paperwork.

"here's the paperwork from last night, sir." Hooded person said.

"thank you and i'm glad that you're here. I need another opinion in on this interview we're watching." Satori resumed the video on the monitor screen.

"wait…is that…Jojo?" Hooded person questioned

"you know that pompadour guy?" Satori raised up his maroon colored lenses glasses

"of course I do. he's my childhood friend. we go way back. we've known each other since kindergarten. It's been a while since I've seen him." Hooded person said

Satori pinched his chin, "so, you've haven't seen him in a while, huh?"

"no. it's been years. I had no idea that he was still out here." Hooded person said

Satori smiles miraculously rubbing his hands together and gets an idea, "hmm. interesting. I'll tell you what, I'll help you find your friend and rekindled you guy's friendship, if you do something for me."

Satori's office door closes. moments later, the hooded person walks out of the office and into the corridor. he stops and takes a photo out from his pocket then looks at it.

the photo shows a picture of Josuke as a young boy hugging other young boy who appears to be his best friend.

"don't worry, Jojo. we'll see each other soon. I promise."


two months later in North Morioh

(ethereal music playing)

at night, a mysterious sparkling ball of light rockets out of the full moon and soars over the neighborhood then divides into more glowing orbs. each heading a different direction.

one of the spheres approaches the Higashikata's residence trailing a line of sparks and slips into a bedroom window. it dances across the room and bursts into a sleeping figure laying under the bed covers.

(phone rings)

in the morning, a cell phone alarm goes off in the bedroom. the figure steps out of bed and covered in a blanket charges to the bathroom.

(yawns)

taking off the blanket, a taller Josuke sees his reflection in the mirror surprising him. he rushes to the door jam and measures his height to find he's over a foot taller then he was the last time. rushing back to the mirror, he touches his upper torso while smirking in the mirror.

downstairs in the kitchen, Tomoko is mixing up cake batter in a bowl while brewing coffee. Josuke heads downstairs into the kitchen.

"I see that you're up early. how did you sleep?" Tomoko smiles

"ah! I slept pretty good actually. one of the best sleeps I've ever had to be honest." Josuke exclaims and gasped realizing that his voice is much a deeper tone than before.

"wow! my-my voice! I know I just had a birthday two months ago but I wasn't expecting it to be this deep. also, i'm taller than last time."

"that's the part about getting older honey, your body goes through these types of changes. you're becoming a man now." Tomoko smiles

she serves him a cup of coffee with cream and sugar on the side then continues to mix the cake batter.

"what are you baking?" Josuke asked

"I'm baking the famous passion fruit shortcake for my colleagues at work. they've made me employee of the month, so we're having a little celebration for my success." Tomoko said

"congratulations. i'm happy for you." Josuke smiles

(phone vibrates)

Josuke pulls out his phone and looks at the text from Okuyasu. (Okuyasu's text: we're outside.)

"who texted you?" Tomoko asked

"Okuyasu. they're outside waiting for me. I gotta go. I'll see you later, Mom!" he rushes out the door.

"okay, hurry back home!" Tomoko shouts

outside, Josuke heads towards his friends. he sees both Koichi and Okuyasu standing next to each other.

"wow! you guys saw that full moonlight too?" Josuke said

(both gasping)

"whoa! Josuke!" Okuyasu exclaimed

"your voice!" Koichi exclaimed

Josuke waved his hand, "I know I know. it was a shocker for me too. I don't know if you guys notice but I also got taller too. I guess the moonlight did wonders for us."

"yeah! I noticed that my back isn't stiff as much as it use to be and also my teeth are much whiter and brighter than ever!" Okuyasu smiles as his teeth shines bright almost blinding them.

Josuke shields his eyes, "wow!"

"and I'm not as much a scaredy-cat and a coward how I was before. no more scaredy nerdy Koichi. can you believe it, Josuke?" Koichi adds in

"there's a spider on your shoulder, Koichi." Okuyasu points at Koichi's shoulder

Koichi screams and shutters, "Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!"

(both laughing)

"it's not funny! i'm extremely terrified of spiders!" Koichi said

"anyway, we're having our first annual Back-to-School Kickback this weekend and you know what that means?" Okuyasu smirks and elbows Josuke

"what?" Josuke puzzled

"duh! isn't it obvious? us with our beautiful girls at the kickback and we have to look our best for them like we did at your party two months ago." Okuyasu said

"oh yeah. I get you." Josuke smirks

minutes later, Kyoko, Kiwi and Yukako are seen walking together heading towards their boyfriends.

"hey, boys." Kiwi said

the trio turned around and saw their girlfriends coming their way. each girl went to their boyfriends.

"are you guys going to the Back-to-School Kickback this weekend?" Kyoko asked

"yeah. we were just talking about it not to long ago." Josuke replied

(girls gasped in shock)

"Josuke?" Kiwi exclaimed

"your voice! it's-it's…" Yukako exclaimed

"…so attractive." Kyoko blushes at her boyfriend

"yeah. I know." Josuke shares a tender look with Kyoko then kisses her in front of the group.

"Aw!"

"okay, love birds. what are we gonna wear for the kickback?" Okuyasu asked

"well, you, me and Koichi could go to the men's fast fashion store and see what they have there." Josuke answered

"and we'll go to the salon to get our hair and nails done, then we could shop at some stores." Kyoko adds in

"yeah. we could do that!" Okuyasu cheered

"but we need a rendezvous so we could all meet up and go Downtown together." Josuke thinks for a second and gets an idea.

"I got it! after school, we can all meet each other outside in the courtyard in the back of the school and I'll drive us Downtown. sounds like a plan?"

(agreeable chattering)

"cool. we'll meet each other at the courtyard at 3pm after school." Josuke said

Koichi downcasts, "I just hope it's not as bad as what happened last year at my other school."

Josuke raised his eyebrow, "what happened last year?"

"you don't wanna know." Koichi stammers

Okuyasu crossed his arms, "seriously, Koichi. you've gotta stop being a buzzkill at times."

a figure heads towards the group. the group are trying to figure out who it was but Josuke realizes that it was Rohan wearing a large hood over his head covering up his face.

"speaking of buzzkill." Okuyasu whispered

Josuke elbows Okuyasu, "shh! hey Rohan. we've all changed. what about you?"

there was a brief silence from Rohan.

"Rohan, did you seen the moon—" Okuyasu's words were cut off

(dramatic music playing) Rohan lifts up his hood to reveal a hairy face that's dotted with pimples.

(woman screaming) (all gasping)

"sheesh, looks like I've woken up a yeti!" Okuyasu laughs

everyone except Josuke starts laughing at Rohan while he remains saddened.

"Rohan, say something?" Josuke said

"I don't know what happened? I've got my eight hours of sleep like I normally do and next thing you know, I woke up like…well…like you, Josuke! what am I gonna do?!" Rohan starts crying

Kiwi walks over to him, "don't worry chewbacca, we've got you."

"CHEWBAKABRA!" Rohan closes his hood and sobbs

"not chewbakabra. i'm talking about getting you polished up. we're gonna take you to the salon with us. we're getting manicures, pedicures, massages and facials. how does that sound?" Kiwi said

Rohan sniffles and opens up his hood, "well, it does sound relaxing. Okay, let's do it!"

"alright guys, in the courtyard at 3pm, got it?" Josuke said

"got it!" the Duwang gang agrees


at Morioh mall shopping center

hours later after school, the Duwang gang arrives at the Morioh shopping plaza. Josuke pulls up into an empty spot with the tahoe truck nearby the mall and parks right in front.

"okay, so everybody's clear on the meet up location?" Josuke asked

(agreeable chattering)

"okay, we have five hours until the Kickback starts. And that gives us plenty of time to get everything done. let's do this!"

everyone exits out of the truck heading towards the mall. the girls and Rohan heads to the salon spa for facials and massages while the guys are heading over to the fast fashion store.

time goes by, it's 45 minutes later. at the men's store, Josuke and Koichi are searching through the clearance sales rack.

Koichi picks up a lime green graphic t-shirt with silver designs on it and shows it to Josuke, "what do you think about this shirt?"

"that's a really dope shirt, Koichi." Josuke said

"think I should get it and wear it to the Kickback tonight?"

Josuke continues to search through the clearance rack, "it's up to you, Ko. it is a pretty cool shirt though. might not see it again if you don't get it."

"yeah, you're right. might as well get it while we're here." Koichi grabs the shirt and searches through the rack with Josuke.

on the other side of the store, Okuyasu is at the checkout counter.

"sorry, what kind of pants did you say you were looking for again?" store clerk asked

"girbaud strap jeans. isn't that the latest trend now and days?" Okuyasu asked

"well, it is and we use to have them in stock but unfortunately, we're sold out at the moment." store clerk answered

"do you know when they'll be back in stock?" Okuyasu asked

the store clerk shrugged his shoulders, "I honestly don't know, man. we placed in another order yesterday because we had a big sale on them just a few days ago and they were sold out within minutes. the next shipment won't be delivered until the end of the month."

Okuyasu downcasted, "I see. thanks for your help anyway." he walks away sad and depressed

"wait!" the store clerk intercepts him. "there is a faster way to get them before anyone else does." the clerk takes out a business card and gives to Okuyasu.

"this is our card. you can go on our website and preorder them. that's the fastest way to get them."

Okuyasu takes the card reluctantly, "wow, this is so cool! thanks for your help!"

time goes by, it's an hour later. at the salon spa, the girls are in the nail area getting their manicures and pedicures.

"so what do you have in mind to wear for tonight, Yukako?" Kyoko asked

"I honestly have know idea. I wanna look preppy and elegant at the same time. or is that too much?" Yukako said

"no, I think the preppy style looks good on you but if you're going for of an elegant formal look, Kiwi the fashionista can help you with that." Kyoko smiles

"girl, I've got a couple of styles in mind for you. after our massages and baths, we're going to the sexiest store ever…Kiara's closet." Kiwi added in

"Kiara's closet? hm? okay sounds good to me." Yukako smiles

in the waxing room, Rohan is leaned back in a large black chair wearing dark protective sunglasses as the bright spotlight shines down on his face. a waxing specialist enters the room with a large bowl filled with facial creams and other waxing supplies.

"now, are you sure that this facial treatment is going to work for my skin?" Rohan asked

"of course, honey. I did a sample test on your skin and it turns out that you have dry to oily skin. But don't worry, you're not alone. I suffered from a much similar break out that's closest to yours last summer and I did it with this treatment that i'm about to give you." Wax specialist explains while setting up the equipment

she glances at Rohan's bushy eyebrows and mustache, "hm, now as far as your the facial hairs, I can take care of that easy peasy."

she then snaps on a pair of rubber gloves, scooping up a spoonful of wax gel and and applying it directly onto Rohan's face.

"now, I should warn you. the removal might be painful a little bit but not for long."

"okay, but can you tell me when you're gonna rip off the ta—AAH!"

(tape ripping) (Rohan screams echoes)


at the Higashikata's residence

meanwhile, back in North Morioh. Tomoko is in the backyard finishing planting the last batch of seeds in her garden.

she wipes sweat off her forehead, "Phew. finally finished. didn't really except for it to take this long. Now, I can finally relax."

she's walks over to her lawn chair and a table with a pitcher glass of lemonade sitting on top. she poured herself a glass, adds a straw and relaxes in the chair.

(doorbell rings; knocking)

"UGH! seriously? I just got finished working on my garden! I swear this happens every time when I'm home alone trying to relax."

(doorbell rings; knocking continues)

"coming, I'm coming!"

Tomoko makes it to the door. as soon as she opens it, her front lawn was jam-packed with paparazzis and news trucks. catching her off guard, Tomoko rushed out the door. the reporters and cameramen surrounded her and grilling her with questions.

"wait! what's going on?!" Tomoko asked

"Ms. Higashikata, your son just dethroned the former Sanwakai Brawl champion Saboko Tsuko! how do you feel about that?!"

"Is it true that your son, Josuke is the secret love child of Joseph Joestar?!"

"how old were you when you had Josuke?!"

"Weren't you and Mr. Joestar ever married?!"

Tomoko runs back inside the house quickly closing the door and all windows by locking it shut while the reporters and paparazzis continues to crowd around the windows.

"Ms. Higashikata?!"

"we just need some answers from you!"

"isn't Josuke home?!"


at the Food court

the group are sitting nearby a cafe restaurant having lunch and watching television on the restaurant's TV.

"I honestly can't wait until the Kickback tonight!" Okuyasu said chowing down on his noodles with chopsticks

Josuke smiles, "yeah. sounds like it'll be a pretty good one since we've did everything within last two hours."

Rohan sits his food tray down at the table and sits in between Kiwi and Koichi. the group noticed that Rohan's face was clear, smooth and pimple free.

"Rohan? your skin? it looks so clear!" Koichi said

Okuyasu pokes Rohan's cheek with a chopstick, "and smooth."

Rohan smacks the chopstick away, "yeah. I'm zit free with zero body hair!" (he turns to Kiwi) "thank you, Kiwi."

Kiwi smiles, "I told you we'll have you polished before the Kickback!"

"well, as long as everyone got what they needed for the dance tonight, everything should go smooth." Josuke said

A news anchor appears on the screen, "We interrupt this program for some breaking news! A stampede of fans are marching through the streets of Morioh causing a havoc in the city. we're going live with Tokishi Zamiuko that's located in North Morioh to give us the full details about this riot."

"yes. Reporter Tokishi Zamiuko here live in North Morioh. I'm actually nearby the crowd right now and it appears to be a collection of fans and paparazzis are trying to get inside this house that's behind me right here."

the camera man films the crowd chanting and standing in front of Josuke's house. a group of people start destroying Okuyasu's bike.

Okuyasu points and laughs at the screen, "Haha! look they're wrecking some idiot's bike!"

Koichi takes a closer look at the house on TV then realizes that it's Josuke's house.

"Josuke, all of those fans are at your house!"

"and that's my bike that they're wrecking!" Okuyasu gasped

"Dammit! and my mom is there by herself while they're trying to get in! we gotta go!"

the group rushes out of the mall, heading towards the truck going back to North Morioh.


Back in North Morioh

the crowd continued to chant Josuke's name as they began to march around the front yard.

"who do we want?!" A man cheers through a megaphone

"Josuke!" crowd cheers

"when do we want him?!"

"NOW!"

"who do we want?!"

"Josuke!"

"when do we want him?!"

"NOW!"

moments later, Josuke pulls up at his house then stops and hide as he, Okuyasu and Koichi watch the fans crowding his front yard.

Koichi gasps "my goodness! Look at all of those fans!"

"what do we do now?" Okuyasu asked

"Time to scope things out." Josuke drives elsewhere. He then approaches the back of the house where the garage door is.

As the trio exits the car, A crowd of people appear wearing T-shirts with Josuke's picture on it and signs saying 'YAY Josuke' and 'King of the ring!!' spots them.

A kid points his finger, "hey look! there's the Sanwakai Brawl King, Josuke!"

"I want his jacket!" A girl shouts

"I want his gold medallions that's on his jacket!" A man yells

the crowd runs after them shouting 'Yay Josuke' as they run inside the house. The trio breathes after closing the door behind them before being confronted by Tomoko.

she crossed her arms, "Josuke, what the hell is going on?! And who are all those people outside of our house?"

"well…uh…they're pretty much fans." Josuke stammers

Tomoko raised an eyebrow, "Fans?! All 200 of them?!"

"Oh, so that's how many there are. I was wondering why there were so many!" Okuyasu adds in while both Josuke and Koichi palm slapped their faces.

"look, we need to get them off our front yard before they—"

[knocking on the window] A few group of fans pressed their faces against the kitchen window smiling and holding a 'Yay Josuke' sign while chanting Josuke's name. one of the fans starts jiggling the window while the others jiggled the door handles.

"they're trying to get inside! what do we do?!" Koichi nervously shouts

"I don't know. i'm not use to having 200 people cornering my house!" Tomoko added in

Okuyasu waves his hand, "I hear ya loud and clear, Ms. T. why the first time those fans chased us—"

"THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME!"

Josuke palm slapped his face, "You're not helping, Okuyasu!"

Okuyasu shruggs, "sorry. I thought I was."

"we need to leave, Now!" Koichi tries to rush out the back door.

"No. I'm not letting anyone running me out of my own house. I don't wanna have to do this, but these fans leave me no choice." Tomoko walks towards the backyard and grabs the large water hose.

she turns on the faucet and blasting the fans with water. the fans started screaming in shock as Tomoko continues to spray them with water.

"Get away from my damn house! Go home! get out of here!"

"Josuke's mom is crazy!" a man yelled

"let's get out of here!" a woman said. all the citizens and reporters started running away from the front yard to the streets.

[engine revving; tires squealing off]

Tomoko and the trio steps out into the front yard as they all watched the news vans and citizens driving away from the house.

she wipes sweat off her forehead and turning the water hose off, [sighs of relief] "lesson number one boys, Never let anyone run you out of your own house." she walks to backyard.

"damn Josuke, your mom was a total boss out here!" Okuyasu cheered

"well, at least those fans are gone." Koichi said

"for now. there's no telling when they'll be back. come on, let's hurry and get ready for the Kickback tonight." Josuke said

the trio walked back inside the house to get ready for the dance. That night, at the Kickback, everyone's gather as many people begin dancing to the music.

(Pressure drop plays)

at the tables, Josuke, Kyoko, Koichi and Yukako are waiting for their food to arrive.

"I wonder where the waiter is with our food?" Koichi said

"yeah. didn't we ordered like an hour ago?" Yukako asked

"I'll go see what's up." Josuke gets up from the table and walks over to the cafeteria counter.

Meanwhile, at the music station, as DJ Scooter is blowing his bubblegum, pulling out another CD, the door is heard knocking. He peeks out the door window, noticing someone before opening the door and hears whispering. He looks stunned, glaring at the figure before noticing some cash is given to him.

He smirks, looking around before snatching the cash. After blowing his bubble, he looks at a filing cabinet, opening the bottom, going through the records inside before pulling one out, blowing off the dust, but goes over to the record player nearby.

Then, the record starts playing music. At the dance floor, the disco ball dangles downward before the disco music is heard.

(Shake your groove Thing by Peaches and Herb plays)

everyone stops as they look confused. Then on the glowing dance floor, up comes Okuyasu in disco clothing wearing a black afro wig, tapping to the beat a bit.

Josuke carrying the large food tray, "Hey, what's going on?"

Then up comes Kiwi, now in bright pink disco clothing, starting to move to the groove. many single guys gasp while their jaws drops in shock.

Kyoko gasped in shock, "oh my god!"

"it's Kiwi and Okuyasu!" Koichi gasped

DJ Scooter incidentally bursts his bubble to his face as he notices Kiwi with Okuyasu, surprised with a grin, looks blown off. Kiwi smirks, motioning him to come closer to her.

the crowd watches as they begin tapping to the beat with the couple starting to dance to the beat together. the crowd begins dancing as well with the couple briefly waltzing and twirling before posing with arms held before twirling and dipping together.

Each of them bump hips to one another with Okuyasu twirling Kiwi before dancing a la Saturday Night Fever-style fashion. Nearby, Josuke and the others are watching, bopping their heads a bit as they claps a bit. He looks at Koichi as they begin dancing alongside with their girlfriends.

"I didn't know that the Kickback was going to be this much fun." Koichi said

"well, it's good thing that we're here, Koichi." Josuke said as he and Koichi high fived each other.

The lights flashes a bit with Kiwi dancing and posing. Okuyasu smirks and does the split and twirls his butt and legs before backflipping, twirling with his butt.

Koichi and Yukako kept dancing before he's held by his thumb with Okuyasu twirling him. Koichi begins dancing wildly on the dance floor as he poses.

Yukako smirks, "Ooh, look at you swinging, Ko."

Koichi smirks a bit, well, You are the queen of my scene, my little vanilla bean."they both continued to dance wildly together.

Both Okuyasu and Kiwi come up, holding hands as they twirl around. Many of the students continue dancing with both couples, looking at one another, leading.


the Duwang gang are having a good time at their Back-to-School Kickback but who is the unknown person that claims to be friends with Josuke? and Satori's planning something big but what is it?
