Bearticguy7: He might be watching from the shadows. Mary Sue's are just lazy writing.
CoolK: ALRIGHT! it's been a while since I got an idea from you! Brilliant as always, I'll be looking for ways to include it!
dumpstertrashfire123: There's just a bit more of that humor in this chapter...but also a LOT more tension.
Jddraign: It does sound a bit like a stand, but there are some really overpowered quirks, so I could probably make it work!
nocringeman: :)
PhantomKnightPercival: Steely Dan? Eh...not really. Doesn't mean he won't show up with a vengeance. As for the Chuck E. Cheese? Remember the Necromancer's sense of humor?
Jpx0999: DIO isn't the Alpha...but...
Euphoria: Dude...you predicted me. That was literally the whole plot for the Italy trip for this chapter...and the Chuck E. Cheese...well, it isn't demonic...
Kyeo307: Hey, great ideas! I'll be sure to try and use them both!
Guest: I might be misunderstanding the stand name, but the ability is hilarious! Great joke character idea!
balanced goose: Hello!
Everyone looked up at the deteriorating sign.
Chuck E. Cheese.
"That's...not the Chuck E. Cheese sign I remember from my childhood." Anasui muttered.
"It's written in marker..." Jolyne pulled out the Necromancer's journal. "And it's in this asshole's handwriting."
"What would the Necromancer own a knockoff Chuck E. Cheese?" Ochako asked.
"Knowing him, he probably decided it on a whim, probably for a stupid joke." Jolyne replied. "Either way...that eye is in there."
"The Alpha knows we're coming." Jotaro said, his face grim. "That smoke guy said he made a maze of arcade machines...that can't be a coincidence."
"Chuck E. Cheese would be the perfect domain for this guy, if he's who you think he is." Jolyne looked at her father. "Dad?"
"He shot you..."
"I've been shot before, Dad."
"I still have every right to be mad." Jotaro grumbled, his eyes trained on the doorway. "If it's the guy...and I'm pretty sure it is...we're in for a hell of a fight."
"I'm still confused about the whole Chuck E. Cheese thing..." Kirishima said. "One, weren't those shut down? Two...weren't they...America exclusive?"
"If this is the enemy I'm thinking off...he had an unusual fascination with...dolls." Jotaro replied. "He probably bought the animatronics from auctions and shit...he made his own goddamn Chuck E. Cheese."
"But...why? What is the logic behind this?" Todoroki asked. "I get the doll obsession and the arcade machines have something to do with this man's stand ability...but why Chuck E. Cheese?"
"Like I said, the Necromancer had something to do with it, that asshole had a really bizarre sense of humor." Jolyne said. "It's probably some stupid joke or reference..."
"I still can't believe something like that happened when we were away..." Kirishima said, rubbing his head. "He was gonna wipe out the school..."
"That's why you were away, Kirishima." Jotaro said, turning to face his students. "I don't want to risk any of your lives. This man, if my theory is correct, is dangerous. However, as you have all become involved with this...am I correct to assume you want to see it through?"
"Yes." Every student present replied, and Jotaro smirked.
"Yare yare daze...there really is something special about your class...alright, we'll split into two teams, one focuses on finding the eye, the other in defeating and crushing the Alpha. Together, we can wipe out the League of Bad Life Decisions once and for all."
"YES SIR!" Everyone entered the Chuck E. Cheese.
...
"Wow! it's so beautiful here!" Momo said, gazing up at the tower above. "Mr. Joestar's mom lived here?!"
"That makes sense." Izuku muttered, looking at a giant spike pit.
"That's where Gramps fought Esidesi." Johnny said, his eyes lighting up. "I used to love that story whenever he told it to me when I was growing up...I can't believe I'm seeing it in person..."
"Are we gonna be near that thing?" Kyoka asked. "Because I don't feel safe just looking at it..."
Gyro, however was nerding out, pulling on his hair and squealing like a teenaged girl that just got asked to prom by her crush. "Guys, this is the best place for training we could ever ask for! Do you know how many opportunities we have to improve?! I wanna see the Hell Climb Pillar!"
"The WHAT?!" Kyoka said, her eyebrows knitting together in fear.
"Don't you want to test your limits?" Johnny asked, and Kyoka gave him a sour look.
"Don't you know that killing your girlfriend is often frowned upon?"
"Oh, you won't die!" Gyro said, rolling his eyes.
"I bet I could easily get up this pillar." Bakugo said.
"With explosions?"
"Well duh, what else would I use?"
"Good luck self destructing then, the entire pillar is covered in oil." Johnny replied with a smirk.
"...I'd still be able to climb it."
"Alright Katsuki, how about this? You, me, and anyone else who wants to join, whoever gets to the top of Hell Climb Pillar wins." Johnny said. "You think you could beat a Hamon user at their own game?"
Bakugo's eyes widened slightly, before an evil grin came onto his face. "Is that a challenge?"
"Ye-"
Johnny suddenly stopped talking, and his eyes widened. His face had become a mask of pure terror.
"JoJo?"
"I-uh...I..."
"JOHNNY!" Kyoka ran towards him and put her hands on his cheeks. "Stay with us, alright?! Johnny, JOHNNY HEY!"
"I...I'm...sorry..." Johnny was visibly sweating, and Kyoka and Gyro immediately took him to the side, sitting him down by the docks.
"What was that Johnny?" Gyro asked, concerned. "I've never seen you freak out like that before..."
"It was the blood connection, wasn't it?" Kyoka asked, stroking Johnny's face to calm him down. "You felt something..."
"I felt...nothing short of...fear. No one's hurt...but...it was pure terror. Someone was seriously terrified..." Johnny said, shaking. "It...it was my dad."
"Dr. Kujo having a fear response like that?!" Gyro was confused. "Why? What would make someone like him react like that?!"
"There...was something else...something...sinister." Johnny tightened his fist, and an increasingly worried Kyoka put her hand on top of it, knowing full well that she was the only thing stopping Johnny from having a full blown panic attack. "It was near him. Near...Dad, Jolyne, and Uncle Josuke...it was near all three of them. This...presence...it's familiar..."
"Take deep breaths Johnny..." Gyro put a reassuring hand on his partner's shoulder. "Take deep breaths..."
"Are they in danger?" Kyoka asked softly.
"Yes. This presence wants to hurt them...he wants to kill them...it's..." Johnny's eyes shot open, and then he said a name that made his companions share his fear.
"DIO!"
Jotaro angled his flashlight, observing every nook and cranny. His eyes were aggressively searching the moldy, cracked walls and arcade cabinets.
"That presence...I never thought I would feel this chill again...WHERE ARE YOU?! DIO!" Jotaro screamed into the abandoned pizzeria. "SHOW ME YOUR PUTRID FACE!"
For the first time since Johnny was shot, Jotaro was truly panicking, a mix of anger and pure terror driving his actions. "SHOW YOURSELF, I FELT YOU, YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU AGAIN!"
"My...you look quite desperate, Jotaroooo..."
Jotaro spun around towards the voice, only to find nothing. "FUCKING COWARD!"
"I see your rage for me has not been quelled after all these years. My...you have certainly grown older, you have a son and daughter...right?"
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Jotaro used Star Platinum to bash away from the surrounding arcade machines.
"Still easy to anger. You really haven't changed at all, have you Jotaro? Always getting in my way, always dragging innocents to their deaths..." DIO's amusement was clear in his voice. "You shouldn't have brought your students with you."
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST STAY GONE?!" Jotaro screamed.
"DR. KUJO!"
"Huh?"
Jotaro finally noticed that Kaminari and Kirishima, along with the Green Dolphin gang, were all standing behind him.
"Why are you yelling?"
"I..." Jotaro looked around, and Jolyne reached over and put a hand on her father's shoulder, gritting her teeth upon seeing him flinch. Jotaro slowly turned to face his daughter, and Jolyne saw what was happening.
Her father was truly, deeply afraid.
"It doesn't matter that he's here..." Jolyne said, rubbing her father's back. "He's already dead, the Alpha is who we need to be worried about."
Jotaro shakily nodded his head, and Jolyne put a protective arm around him. "Thank you...Jolyne...alright everyone, we're moving forward."
The Alpha Stompers, which was a name that Ermes had come up with on the fly, entered a large room full of old pizza boxes, several arcade machines, a copy of FNAF: Help Wanted, and in the middle of the room there was a throne made out of several mechanical parts and game casings.
A projector lit up the wall behind the throne, and it blanketed the man sitting on it in shadows.
"So...your little motley group has finally arrived." The Alpha said, angling his abnormally large head.
"This ends here." Jolyne said, stepping forward. "Give us the eye."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"No."
"Then we're gonna fuck you up, asshole."
The Alpha reached over and opened a can of Pepsi. "Truly, you are your father's daughter..."
"I knew you were scum, but this is whole new low for you." Jotaro growled. "Working with gutter trash like the Necromancer..."
"Anything to take my revenge on you." The Alpha grinned, his creepily wide smile being the only thing visible. "I was fine when you broke my brother...but then you had to ruin my life on top of it, it took me years, to recover from what you did to me."
"You fucking deserved it."
The Alpha tilted his head. "Do you know why they call me the Alpha?"
"Why?" Kaminari asked, and the Alpha stood up so that the light of the projector hit his face, and a head of greying green hair held upwards, and a tattooed face with a manic expression. Shining gold earrings that were in the shape of TD hung from his ears.
"BECAUSE I AM AN ALPHA MALE GAMER!" Telence T. D'arby said, grinning like a madman.
."It's really creepy here..." Emporio said, clinging to Ochako's arm.
"It'll be okay. Remember the plan?"
"As soon as I see the eye, I use my baseball glove to grab it, and then go immediately in the ghost room, yeah, I do." Emporio shivered. "Why is it so cold in here?"
Todoroki stayed silent, pointing his flashlight around, and Josuke was right behind him, Crazy Diamond floating by his side, ready to protect the students at a moments notice.
"It's so creepy too...is this just Five Night's at Freddy's?" Emporio asked nervously. "I really hate those games...they're too creepy for me..."
"I bet Kyoka would be glad that she isn't here." Josuke commented. "She hates spooky stuff...and...I just have this weird feeling...as if...we're being watched by something evil."
Todoroki glanced at Ochako, and she caught his eye. "What's wrong?"
"I'm..."
"Todoroki, is this about when you attacked me?"
"Yes."
"You weren't yourself, besides...everyone was okay by the end of it."
Todoroki nodded, although it was clear he was still guilty over it.
The group came to a large area were wires and cobwebs were littered everywhere, and several upturned tables and party hats made a pathway towards a giant showstage, where Chuck E. Cheese's face was plastered everywhere.
On the stage...were several incarnations of Chuck E. Cheese himself. Multiple Chuck E. Cheese animatronics, each of them in different states of disrepair. The group stopped, looking at all the robotic mice on stage, and looked at each other.
"If I were D'arby...a guy with a fascination with dolls and puppets...wouldn't I hide something important inside one?" Josuke asked, and everyone nodded.
"What if it's a trap?"
"Oh, it definitely is, but the eye has to be in one of these things." Josuke looked the animatronics up and down. "Don't go near them unless it's to get the eye, alright?"
"Alright!" The other three said, and everyone began walking around the show stage, searching the robot mice for the Necromancer's eye.
Todoroki noticed a Chuck E. Cheese with a hole in it's chest, and looked inside, only to find a moldy piece of pizza. He wrinkled his nose, and turned away...
Only to find the Chuck E. Cheese that was most intact staring directly at him. Was...it looking at me before?
It probably was...but...
Todoroki slowly backed away from the Chuck E. Cheese, ready to torch it as soon as it gave him indication it was hostile. The lifeless eyes of the animatronic stared into his as he left it's line of sight.
Todoroki whipped around again, and the Chuck E. Cheese had indeed changed it's line of sight...
Towards Emporio.
Emporio is the key to our plan... Todoroki realized. His stand...the ghost room...IS THAT THING TARGETING HIM?!
Todoroki's suspicions were confirmed as the robot's arm began to move, and it brandished a gun.
There wasn't enough time to use his quirk, that thing's metal claw was already closing on the trigger.
"EMPORIO, LOOK OUT!" Todoroki screamed, and the 12 year old screamed and ducked.
Not that it mattered...
Because Chuck E. Cheese whirled around and fired at Todoroki.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
All three shots hit Todoroki just as he tried to use his ice, but unfortunately, Chuck E. Cheese was the quicker draw. Todoroki looked down at the three bullet holes in his chest, then at his friends.
"S-sorry...I...tried..."
Then he collapsed to the ground.
"TODOROKIIIIIIIIIIII!"
.."NO!" Ochako screamed as she and Josuke rushed over to the downed Todoroki, but the Chuck E. Cheese stepped in their way.
"Well...if it isn't the Joestar family mistake." A deep velvety voice came from Chuck E. Cheese, and the robot mouse held up the Necromancer's eye.
Josuke took a step back. "You...you're DIO!"
"Hee hee! Looks like you Chuck E. Cheesed him! Get it? Because you put a bunch of holes in him?" A second voice said, coming from the eye.
"Shut up Necromancer."
"Technically, I'm not the Necromancer, I'm a copy of his consciousness..."
"A copy of something irritating is still just as irritating." DIO's electronic voice snapped.
"YOU SHOT OUR FRIEND!" Ochako shouted.
The eye turned in DIO's palm. "Ochako Uraraka...we finally meet."
"Meet?!"
"Oh yes! I may not be the actual Necromancer, but I have his memories!" The Necromancer replied gleefully. "And I remember...that I wanted to murder you."
"W-what?!" Ochako took a step back. "I wasn't even involved in your defeat!"
"Oh no, you didn't do anything to me. You are...however...special to Izuku Midoriya." You could hear the Necromancer's psychotic grin in his voice. "Funny story...you see, that little group attacked me before my plan to wipe out UA was complete. I was set to do it in a week, and they attacked me on the third day..."
"Hurry it up."
"Be patient you old fuck! Anyway...ironically, the day Shigaraki and Dabi screwed me over...the day the Joestar's attacked...that was the day I was planning to murder you and your whole family, and leave all of you somewhere for Midoriya to find.
So...in a way...Tomura Shigaraki sort of saved your life that day...and ended mine."
Ochako stood rooted to the spot, horrified by the revelation.
All of those people the Necromancer killed...
I would've been one of his victims. He would've used me to hurt Deku...
I could've been dead right now.
To come so close to death, to come so close to losing her family, her sole reason for becoming a hero, without even realizing it.
"Well...it looks like you get a second chance." DIO said, and pointed the eye towards Ochako, who looked absolutely horrified at this point.
Another Chuck E. Cheese was dragging Todoroki's body away, and Josuke was watching it, trying to figure out the best moment to make a break towards him, with sweat running down his face.
"Motherfucker, let me enjoy thinking please." The Necromancer responded. "You know that the silver represses my consciousness, right? This is the first time I've been able to think since that green bastard found me."
"The longer we wait, the more likely that Joestar has formulated a plan!" DIO growled out. "Trust me, I know that from experience."
"Kill the child first." The Necromancer said. "And make them watch."
That was it, Josuke was going...
But not for Todoroki, but for DIO.
"DORA!" Crazy Diamond went for Chuck E. Cheese's head, but a yellow fist blocked the punch.
"Right back at you." DIO said as The World emerged from Chuck E. Cheese. The stand was cracked all over, it's shiny yellow armor was worn and dented, and it had no eye sockets.
But it was still very much The World.
"MUDA!" The World punched Josuke clear through the wall, and the other animatronics dragged Todoroki around the corner. Josuke emerged from the rubble, and constructed a wall with Crazy Diamond just as DIO used the eye to fire a blast at him, and he rushed off in pursuit of Todoroki.
"YOU TWO! RUN!" Was all that Josuke said as he vanished around the corner.
Ochako didn't waste any time, she grabbed Emporio's hand and sprinted in the opposite direction of Chuck E. Brando.
"Yes...because that will work...THE WORLD, GRIND TIME TO A HALT!"
If DIO's face could be seen, it would have been priceless.
"Your stand is broken, idiot."
"It's still strong!"
"Yeah, but in case you didn't notice, The World just came back five minutes ago, thanks to me. Your stand has been gone for a very long time, it's constipated."
"There is a better word to use to describe my lack of time stop."
"Stand abilities come as natural as shitting, it's perf-"
"STOP THIS NONSENSE! THEY ARE GETTING AWAY!" Chuck E. Brando snapped."I REFUSE TO LOSE TO THE JOESTARS AGAIN!"
"Sheesh, fine...fucking bitch...why the hell do you want the eye anyway?"
"You saw for yourself...it regenerated The World. With it, I might not even need Diego to come back."
"So I'm just a shortcut to you? You don't feel it too?" The Necromancer sounded heartbroken, although it might've just been mockery.
"Are you flirting with me? Seriously?"
"You can't stop our love!"
"I hate you. I'm not just saying that either, I genuinely despise you. Now, shut up. We have children to kill..."
"Damn, this really is Five Ni-"
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
..
"So Jotaro, how do you want to do this?" D'arby questioned, pacing and leering at the group from his gamer pad.
"I have an idea, how about we make you pay for trying to kill our friends?!" Kirishima growled, slamming his hardened fists together. "Not much of a man, are you?"
Jotaro put a hand on Kirishima's shoulder. "We all want to do that...but knowing him...we need to play his game first."
"I see you remember how this works." D'arby said with a grin. "Even better, Joseph Joestar isn't here to help you cheat, where is the old man anyway?"
"He went off to Italy to join my son...we don't need him to kick your ass." Jotaro replied. "What will it be D'arby? Oh, That's A Baseball? F-Mega?"
"I was thinking something a bit more...modern. Hold on, let me browse through my library..."
He has a library?! Everyone thought.
"You see...I intend to use the eye to find a way to resurrect DIO. Whether I become the new Necromancer, or perhaps DIO does...I truly enjoyed the privileges I had when I worked for him, so I want to restore the old status quo."
"Fat chance." Ermes said, wrinkling her nose. "The last thing we need is that bastard coming into power, and creating another Pucci."
"PUBG? No..." D'arby muttered as he dumped an entire crate full of video games onto the floor.
"Dude...even I don't have that many games. What is je doing with his life?" Kaminari muttered to Kirishima, and they both started giggling.
"No wonder he's the head of the League of Bad Life Decisions." Anasui joined in, and soon all three of them were making fun of D'arby behind his back.
"Jolyne, you're marrying a man-child, you know that right?" Ermes said, elbowing her bestie jokingly.
"I do."
"HERE IT IS!" D'arby raised a disc up into the air, grinning. "I really need to sort these in alphabetical order, but I just moved in and I didn't have the time..."
"D'arby, if you don't cut to the chase, I'm gonna shove Star Plantium's fist all the way up your ass." Jotaro snapped.
"I have never heard Dr. Kujo talk like that before..." Kirishima muttered.
"He's in delinquent mode." Jolyne said with a smile. "No one messes with Mama Bear."
"Fine." D'arby said simply, and he inserted the disc into a PlayStation 5.
"Oh my God...of course he has one."
"It is my most prized possession!" D'arby said.
The screen turned blue...
"No..."
"You see, I want to get this over with as quickly as possible, so I picked a game where I can eliminate you all at once! A multiplayer game...a battle royale..."
"No, God please, I'm begging you D'arby..." Jotaro was on his knees. "Anything but that..."
"I'm confused, what is this?" Weather asked.
"Of course it is, Jotaro."
"We'll just do Oh, That's a Baseball again. I'm on my knees D'arby."
*Fortnite theme*
"WHERE ARE WE DROPPING BOYS?!"
"D'ARBY YOU ASSHOLE!"
Josuke chased a rogue Chuck E. Cheese into a large dance floor room, and stopped.
A dying Todoroki was tied to a large pizza wheel, and the robots were huddled around it bowing and producing weird humming noises.
"ALL HAIL THE GREAT CHEESE!" One of them shouted as it collected the blood that was dripping from Todoroki's bullet wounds in an old soda cup.
*Josuke . exe has stopped working.*
"Today, is the day we are finally released from the torment D'arby subjected us to, with the blood of the heretic, the real Chuck E. Cheese, our lord and savior, will smite him!"
"SMITE HIM! SMITE D'ARBYYYYY!" The other robots chanted, their electronic voices coming together in an unholy choir.
"NOW, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! CHANT THE MANTRA, AND BRING HELLLLL UPON OUR TORMENTOR!" The duck looking animatronic raised it's hands to the sky, and all of the robots began dancing in a circle.
"WHERE A KID CAN BE A KID! WHERE A KID CAN BE A KID! WHERE A KID CAN BE A KID! WHERE A KID CAN BE A KID! WHERE A KID CAN BE A KID!"
"Wha...WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS GOING ON?!" All of the animatronics turned to see Josuke with his head between his hands. "I'M SO CONFUSED!"
"HERETIC!"
"D'ARBY, DIO, NECROMANCER, AND NOW A FUCKING CHUCK E. CHEESE CULT?! IN JAPAN?! TODOROKI'S HURT...I'M SO OVERWHELMED, WHAT THE FUCK?!"
"Brothers, sisters...destroy this filth, so we may be free from our curse!"
The robots began advancing on a still very confused Josuke, but his head was back in the game.
Alright...focus, get to Todoroki, that's the important thing. He's still alive, you can save him Josuke. What would Kyoka say if you let one of her classmates die?
Josuke cracked his knuckles as a very Jotaro-esque glare came onto his face. "Where a kid can be a kid, huh? Cool...this is gonna be fun."
...
Kyoka sat by the top of Hell Climb Pillar, staring down at the oil below, sighing.
"What's wrong?"
Izuku sat down beside her, and Kyoka waved him off.
"JoJo and I had a bit of a fight, that's all."
"You guys fight?"
"We wouldn't be a couple if we didn't." Kyoka responded. "Don't worry, feelings were not hurt. It would be pretty boring if JoJo and I saw eye to eye on everything. It wasn't an argument or anything, though."
"What does a fight between you two normally look like?"
"We just listen to each other. I tell him how I feel, he tells me how he feels. We both take each other's arguments into account, and we try to compromise." Kyoka said. "We never scream at each other, if that's what you're wondering, we both just try to solve the problem...unfortunately, we haven't reached a compromise just yet, so we both went off to cool our heads."
"That's...actually a pretty healthy way of dealing with things." Izuku noted.
"We understand each other. The only time a fight has ever escalated was...when I accidentally called him a problem during the Steel Ball Run. I will never let things get like that between us again."
"Well...technically that was his fault."
"Doesn't excuse what I said." Kyoka put her lips together. "JoJo sensed that DIO was near his family...and he wanted to cut the vacation short."
"That seems perfectly reasonable."
"It is. I would've agreed with him...but...he wanted to go by himself. He said he didn't want to ruin our vacation, and...I just didn't like that he was denying himself fun, I guess." Kyoka fiddled with her earphone jacks. "I wanted to convince him to let a few people go with him...but he wasn't having it, and we just hadn't come to an agreement over it."
"He's being considerate, Kyoka."
"I know! And I love him for that...but I would happily leave with him." Kyoka said, growing frustrated again. "He just doesn't realize...this vacation wouldn't be fun without him...I would be stuck in Italy, deprived of my favorite person. The sole reason I was looking forward to all this...was because I'd be experiencing it all with him."
"I do now."
Kyoka turned to find Johnny leaning in the doorway, a remorseful look on his face. "How long were you listening?"
"Long enough...Kyoka, I'm sorry...I didn't realize that me being here was so important to you."
"Of course it is, you idiot. I love you."
Johnny looked to the side. "I...can't just ignore what happened either..."
"I know, but I'll go with you, any of us will gladly go with you, that's what I'm trying to say! You are what makes this whole trip special, JoJo."
"...Are you sure?"
"I came here with you, I'm leaving with you."
Johnny scratched his head. "I suppose...if nothing is wrong back in Japan...we could come back..."
"See Izuku? There's the compromise." Kyoka nudged her friend with a grin, and walked over and took Johnny's hands. "Deal."
"No need."
The three turned to see Joseph Joestar had entered the room, smiling. "Jotaro has it taken care of, trust me. He just texted me saying it was under control."
"So...we don't have to leave?"
"Nope! Not that we can anyway..." Joseph looked out towards the arena, where the smoking remains of a plane was sitting in the middle of it. "My mother would've killed me for that."
"I'm too jaded to be surprised at this point." Johnny muttered. "Alright, if Dad says he has everything under control, I'll take his word for it."
"YES!" Everyone turned to Kyoka, who looked away and blushed. "Er...oh fuck it, I'm glad we're getting a break."
"You kids deserve it. To be on this island again, after all these years..." Joseph said wistfully. "Welp, come on kids, time to climb this pillar."
"I want to go back to Japan."
"Knock it off Kyoka, it can't be that bad."
"I'm not a Hamon user, how exactly am I supposed to get up a giant pillar slathered in oil?"
"I never said you had to use Hamon." Joseph said, smiling mischievously. "My mother would've disagreed, but...you can use any method you want, as long as you actually put in some work."
Kyoka returned Joseph's smile. "Any method?"
"Any method."
"Yare yare daze...you two are way too chaotic together..."
...
Emporio and Ochako ran into an old security office, and Ochako slammed the doors shut. "That stand can probably break through these, so we can't let him know we're in this room."
"That's DIO, the Joestar family nemesis. This guy and his partner almost destroyed the universe as we know it." Emporio said, shaking. "We are very lucky his stand isn't at full power yet, it has the same ability as Dr. Kujo's Star Platinum."
"That's weird...I thought stands were like snowflakes, and that there were never two of the same kind."
"The World is stronger than Star Platinum. It's basically Dr. Kujo on steroids...we are very very lucky that stand is broken..." Emporio muttered.
"Then we need to attack from afar, set traps for it!" Ochako said, clenching her fist. "Those two won't get away with hurting Todoroki!"
"But...The World..."
"I don't care!" Ochako snapped. "I don't care who they are, or who they were going to kill, I'm a hero, and I'm going to stop them!"
Of course...what the copy of the Necromancer said...she was supposed to be one of his victims. She's bothered by that, especially since her family would've went with her, she wants to put him in his place.
She's always been so kind to me...there has to be a way to defeat them!
Emporio remembered being chased throughout Green Dolphin by Pucci, only coming out on top thanks to the timely intervention of Giorno Giovanna and Weather Report.
Thank God for GER, or he might've lost his friends for good.
I'm not going to let DIO chase me around just like Pucci did. Emporiothought to himself. I'm not going to be helpless like that, ever again!
"Uraraka..."
Ochako turned to Emporio, only to take a step back.
The Dark Determination burned bright in the 12 year old's yellow eyes.
"I have a plan."
