Bearticguy7: Should the stand cry be "Ring ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding?"

PhantomKnightPercival: It all depends on whether I want certain characters to have Hamon potential of not. Hamon on top of OFA could be a little too much.

Mr-SandIsComicsMadder: The Necromancer is, as of now, the last big bad to enter the story. He won't be around NEARLY as long as the others, only for this arc.

DeathlyJazzHands55: To be honest, I didn't really think it was going to last this long either. I started it off as a joke, and I ended up finding a creative outlet for myself. It blows my mind that it has come as far as it did. Thank you for this incredibly kind review, it really made my day.

Jddraign: No, Johnny and Kaminari will not be fighting. Kaminari is not an aggressive person, so I'd imagine they would handle the situation verbally.

Euphoria: I really like that idea!

Spaghetti sauce: If Susan DID return as a zombie, the heroes would just destroy her instantly. No actually gives a damn about her anymore. It would be more of a joke if I did it.

Death Omen Star: I'm truly glad you are enjoying it!

AshenOne: Yes, I did take some inspiration from Kayuga sama! Also, don't worry about Kyoka and Kaminari...they'll be patching things up pretty soon.

Guest: Johnny already has told Jotaro about the Steel Ball Run, and honestly, he hasn't even thought about seeing a therapist, he doesn't think he needs one.

Balanced goose: I love it! Also, I already made the Diego spinoff, it's called A Legacy to Build. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely satisfied with it, I'm thinking about redoing it.


"Alright everyone, class dismissed."

Everyone packed up their belongings, except for Kaminari, who stayed behind to face his punishment. He slowly walked over to grab a mop, and walked back to begin his punishment...

Only to find that Kyoka hadn't left her desk, and that she was waiting for him.

"You...finally want to talk?"

"I do."

Kaminari sat down across from her and lowered his head, and the two of them sat in silence. Kyoka's stern expression slowly turned into one of sadness. "You...you CAN talk to me you know...I'm not mad anymore."

"I'm so sorry..."

"I know...I am too."

"What?! Why are yo-"

"Dude...I was real MEAN to you."

"You had every right to be...I'm a terrible friend."

"No...no..." Kyoka put a hand on his shoulder. "You're a good friend...you're just also stupid. You weren't doing it to be an asshole...but I was. I...I think we both screwed things up."

"I hurt you."

"I hurt YOU."

Kaminari wasn't making eye contact. "Still...when JoJo said he only thought of you as a friend...I wanted to take advantage of that. I was so excited that..."

"You jumped the gun?"

"Yeah...you were right, I really am a dumbass."

"You are. You're just also a dumbass that I just can't bring myself to hate. You're my friend Kami...and at the end of the day...I have to forgive you."

"You forgive me?"

"I do. You're one of my best friends, and I don't want to lose that. You made a mistake, and I know you won't make it again. If anyone needs forgiveness...it's me."

"Jiro, I don't blame you for being mean, I don't at all. You don't need to be forgiven."

Kyoka sighed. "I'll take that as forgiveness then...listen, I'm sorry I never told you about JoJo and I...but we really wanted to keep our relationship private, for MY sake, I might add."

"Your sake?"

Kyoka nodded. "It was my idea...you know how private I am, I didn't want people all up in my business. That's why I was so defensive whenever you brought it up."

"I thought it was his idea."

"No, I just didn't need the unwanted attention. Johnny would've announced it to the world of I was comfortable with it."

"I understand...I don't think I can accept it yet though, not until I can be sure that he isn't going to hurt you."

Kyoka shook her head. "I can assure you, he won't. Well...I suppose he could later down the line, that kind of stuff comes with relationships, but he would never leave me unless I did something unforgivable...why are you so suspicious of him anyway?"

"I...don't really know him. He usually hangs around your group, so I guess I just kind of assumed he is a bit of a playboy, considering all the attention he recieves."

Kyoka laughed, catching Kaminari off guard. "Heh heh...sorry I couldn't help myself...Johnny is the farthest thing from a playboy there is. Do you know how long it took him to work up the courage to tell me how he felt? Let alone how to be intimate."

"Y-you guys a-are intimate?"

"In a wholesome way, get those pervy thoughts out of your head NOW." Kyoka ordered. Kaminari shut his mouth.

"Still...I could set up a scenario in which you two hung out and got to know each other a little more...would you be open to that?"

"...yeah, yeah I would."

"Good, I'll talk to Johnny about it. I'm...sorry I can't return your feelings Kami, I really am. You're a good guy, and you deserve someone who makes you happy...it just can't be me."

"I understand Jiro...are we friends again?"

"Well duh."

"Then that's enough for me." Kaminari said with a smile, and Kyoka returned it, standing up and wrapping him in a hug.

"Never change, you hopeless idiot."

"I won't."


Johnny yawned, waiting for Gyro to come back. One thing that the OFA group had decided was to construct a hidden base of operations in the woods near UA, and it was nearing completion. A giant frame of a tree house was sitting above him.

Johnny felt proud. Mostly this was so they could have a more...secret location to discuss plans and OFA, that way people like Cummings couldn't snoop on them. It also helped that it was a remote location that the group could just...detox.

Stress relief, the forest was always calming for Johnny, it had to work for others, right? Everyone was on board with it.

"JOOOOHHHNNNNNYYY HEEEEEEEELLLLLPPP!" Gyro screamed off in the distance.

"What the-" Johnny turned to find that Gyro was being chased by...A TANK. "Oh...no...AGAIN?!"

"HE'S BACK! HE'S FUCKING BACK!"

"YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME THIS TIME ZEPPELI! GERMAN SCIENCE IS THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD!" A familiar voice came from the tank as it fired a shell in Gyro's direction.

BOOM!

"We don't have horses this time...FUCK!" Johnny yelled, and began sprinting after Gyro. He summoned Tusk and lept towards the tank at breakneck speed, landing on top of it with a THUD!

Immediately, the hatch opened, and a significantly more mechanical Fritz von Stroheim popped out and transformed his arm into a machine gun, opening fire on the young Joestar.

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Tusk cried, deflecting the bullets with ease, and Johnny reached around his stand and grabbed Stroheim by the wrist. The tank sped through the forest, knocking down trees, as Johnny grappled with the German soldier.

Gyro, who was unable to compete with the tank's speed without Valkyrie, decided to jump upwards, grabbing onto the tank's cannon and holding on for dear life, screaming the whole time.

Johnny flipped over Stroheim's head and fired nail bullets into the cyborg's back. Stroheim coughed out blood, but remained defiant, plucking a grenade from his belt and pulling the pin, chucking it straight at Johnny...

Only for the Joestar to smack it right back.

Thinking quickly, Stroheim smacked it to the side just as it blew up. "THE SAME TRICK WILL NOT WORK ON ME TWICE, KUJO!"

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"

"I HAVE TO BEAT YOU!"

"YOU'RE INSANE!" Gyro shouted from the cannon, slowly slipping a steel ball into it. Stroheim ducked in and fired the cannon before the ball could go in, almost shaking Gyro off to be crushed by the wheels below.

Then the tank hit a big tree, and since Stroheim wasn't steering, the tank was redirected towards the school.

Oh...oh no...


Momo was busy going over the blueprints for the tree fort with Joseph, who, being a realtor, knew a good constructed house from a bad one.

"I think we could add a few support beams over here." Momo said, pointing to an area on the blueprint.

"Not a bad idea...is there going to be a ladder going up?"

"Actually, we were thinking of adding an elevator of sorts, like with ropes and a platform, it would be masked by leaves and twigs, that way the entrance would be a secret."

"Well, that would work if there were only two or three people using it at a time, but since we have more than that, the ropes would probably be strained. Might I suggest you make some chains instead? They would also work better with Hamon than ropes."

"While that is true...chains would arouse suspicion."

"Paint 'em green! Or cover them in leaves and make people think they're vines."

"That could work...I should probably get a good meal in so I can create the necessary materials."

"Man, I wish we had a base of our own back when we were fighting the Pillar Men." Joseph said with a smile. "Just a little tree house where we could all train and have fun..."

"If there is one thing I've learned ever since I became involved in this, is that we need an escape." Momo said. "JoJo's idea is perfect for that...not to mention being outdoors has a calming effect on the human mind, we could even camp out there if we wanted to."

"Don't forget I'm financing this."

"Mr. Joestar, my family would be more than-"

"Nope. I'm doing it."

Momo huffed, deciding it was best just to let the Joestar have his way. "Well, I'm going to have breakfast so I can work on those chains."

"I'll pay for it!"

"MR. JOESTAR!"

"What?! We can get the gang together and I can take you kids out, I know an excellent pancake joint just a few blocks down!"

"You're like a doting grandfather that insists upon paying for everything!"

"Yaoyorozu, that's literally what I am."

"Oh...right...forgot you used to be much older... "

Joseph laughed. "Ah yes, I certainly don't look like an old man anymore...but I guess I'm still one on the inside! At least my arthritis is gone!"

"You had arthritis?"

"Yes?"

"You were fighting...with arthritis... Mr. Joestar, you're much more impressive than I took you for, fighting villains with a disease that inhibits movement all that time."

"Well, when you hurt all the time, you don't even notice the pain. That's what my mother taught me on Air Supplenia island...you know, I should take you kids there someday for a training session."

"Most of us aren't Hamon users."

"I never said I would put you through the same stuff! You'd probably die. But it was also quite beautiful...I had some of the best days of my life on that island..." Joseph reminisced with a smile.

"In that case...I'd love to go there."

"I'll take you guys there then...where were we...? OH! PANCAKES!"

Momo chuckled. "Fine...but next time I'm paying."

"In your dreams! I'm going to pay for everything, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

"Oh dear..."


Izuku had finally managed to bring up the courage to talk with his mother.

The Midoriya apartment looked untouched, and so did Inko. Heaven's Door had given her a complete memory wipe, there was no way she would ever remember the recent home invasion.

"So honey...I noticed you have cut your hair."

"Y-yeah! I thought I would change things up a bit, you know..."

"I like it!"

"You do?"

"Yes! I'm sure whoever she is will be impressed."

Izuku turned best red. "W-w-w-what?!"

Inko chuckled. "I'm just messing with you. It's been so long since you've came to visit, I was almost worried you had forgotten about me."

"No, never! I've just been really busy, that's all, hero work and stuff...what have you been up to?"

"Oh, the usual...although something strange happened the other day..."

Izuku sat up in his seat. "Strange?"

"Yeah, I must have invited Mr. Higashikata and Mr. Kishibe in...but I didn't remember it. I just...found them there, isn't that odd? I must've blacked out or something, and I appear to have misplaced a pair of underwear..."

Izuku bristled with anger. He was...PERVING on my mother too?!

"Izuku, are you okay?!"

"Er...yes. I just forgot I have homework I have to do. I should probably head back."

"Oh...okay...thanks for visiting Izuku! AND BRING THOSE FRIENDS OVER!" Inko called after him as he exited the apartment. "I WANT TO SPOIL THEM!"

"Alright Mom, love you!" Izuku called out, and he turned down the corner to head back to UA...

Only it became apparent that someone was walking beside him.

Izuku whipped his head around, only find Santana of all people. The Pillar Man offered him a nod from underneath his umbrella. "Good Morning, Izuku Midoriya."

"W-wha-?"

"Relax...I'm not here to fight. I'm here because I heard about my suboordiante's...actions. While we are enemies, I have grown to respect you for the determination you showed during our battle...and as such I've ensured the Necromancer won't do something so dishonorable in the future."

"...he isn't actually on your side, you know that right?"

"I do. I'm just letting him think he's manipulating me. If he wants to keep his charade up...he has to do what I say. I respect you too much to allow him to threaten your mother like that again."

"I...I guess I appreciate that."

Santana sighed. "Make no mistake, we are enemies, but there is no reason why we can't be...cordial about it. It's funny...the more time I spend with Lord Kars, the more I find that I am like Lord Wammu..."

"How are you walking around? Didn't Gyro crush your lung?"

Santana opened his coat, and Izuku saw a mechanical box embedded in a closing wound. "I will regenerate in time...but as of now I am still unsuited for combat. You could theoretically kill me right now, if you wanted to, my body is still weak from Hamon exposure."

"I won't. You protected my mother...it's only fair that I return your respect. Next time though...when you are at your full strength...I'll consider it."

Santana nodded. "Next time...until then, may you have the best of luck."

"You too..."

Izuku could only stare as the Pillar Man turned to smoke and blew off into the wind, perplexed by the ambiguous nature of his enemy. "A world of light greys and dark greys..."


"DAMN HIM!" The Necromancer threw his table aside, snarling. "He just HAD TO interefere!"

Santana has somehow found out about the Necromancer's attack on Inko Midoriya, and had threatened him into abandoning his pursuit of Izuku. This threw a massive wrench into the Necromancer's plans.

"You're loyalty doesn't actually lie with him, right?" Dabi asked, leaning against the Necromancer's workdesk, oblivious to the fact that it was littered with bones. "Why do you have to do what he says?"

"I'm trying to get him and Shigaraki to kill each other, Touya, that means the both of them have to think I'm on their side...I need to be in Santana's good graces in order for the war to commence."

"You have more power than the both of them...why don't you just wipe UA out? It would be so much easier."

"I like to play with my food. I suppose...eh, why the hell not? If I just kill them, and say my zombies went out of control..." The Necromancer grinned. "Alright Touya, you've convinced me. I need a LOT of blood to make it work though...if we're going to take UA, we need numbers."

"How much?"

"BUCKETS! BUCKETS UPON BUCKETS OF BLOOD!" The Necromancer said in delight. "I'm gonna kill as many people as I possibly can...we should have enough power within a WEEK!"

"You have a list? If so...I would erase Shoto from it...he's mine."

"Nah, lists are pointless. Random chance is the way to do it. I'm just gonna go around killing things... "

I'll do anything to ensure Valentine's vision of a unified world...

No one is above sacrificing...

The Necromancer grinned. "One week UA...that's all you've got. Enjoy it while you can!"


"STOP THE FUCKING TANK!" Johnny yelled.

Von Stroheim ducked back into the tank and steered it back into the forest. He immediately popped back out and drew a knife, swinging at Johnny's eye. Johnny caught his wrist and judo flipped him over his shoulder, and slammed the German soldier onto the roof. Gyro had finally detached himself from the cannon, and got inside the tank, trying to stop the speeding vehicle from leveling the whole forest.

Von Stroheim turned and stabbed towards Johnny's chest, but Tusk grabbed his wrist and socked him in the face. "ORA!"

Stroheim's head flew clean off, but it was attached to a cable, and the cyborg's body simply reeled it back in. "HA! NICE TRY!"

"You literally turned yourself into a Rock 'em Sock 'em robot."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you DID!"

Johnny punched him in the stomach as Ball Breaker came and socked him on the new again. Stroheim's cable neck was stretched out once more.

"You can't kill me li-WAAAAAAGH!"

The cable got wrapped around a tree branch, and Stroheim's body was yanked off the tank as his head spun around the branch. Johnny ran back over to the front of the tank. "GYRO! JUMP OFF!"

"You sure Johnny?!"

"YES!"

Gyro did as he was told, rolling on the ground as Johnny and the speeding vehicle left him behind.

Johnny lept over the front, Tusk grabbing the front of the cannon, and the stand dug it's heels into the ground as it heaved upward...


"Mom, I promise, I'm bringing him over. You just need to have a bit of patience." Kyoka said into her phone.

"You said I would be properly introduced to this boyfriend of yours." Mika Jiro said over the phone, teasingly.

"You will be, we just need to find time. We're in the middle of this big project right now...do I hear Dad stewing back there?"

"Yeah, he's still putting on his tough guy act...not unlike his daughter."

"Oi!"

Kyoka bristled as she heard her mother laugh over the phone. "Oh Kyoka, you know I'm always going to tease you. I'm really excited to meet this boy, that's all. He's had such a positive effect on you, I want to thank him personally."

Kyoka snorted as she heard her father yell: "I don't!"

"See, tough guy act. He's actually looking forward to it more than I am!"

"MIKA! Don't tell her that, then she isn't gonna be nervous!"

Kyoka smiled as her parents started to bicker over the phone, they always had this weird little banter...

Not unlike what she had with Johnny. Maybe some things are hereditary?

"Well, I'll leave you guys to it. I've got to find Johnny anyway, I'll see y-"

Kyoka deadpanned as soon as she looked out the window. A tank had been flung above the trees, doing several 360s in the air, before crashing back into the forest with a BOOM!

"Kyoka? Are you okay?"

"Yeah...just got to go make sure my idiot friends are too. I'll see you when I see you."

"Bye Kyoka! Love you!"

"Love you too Mom." Kyoka hung up, and saw Johnny and Gyro emerging from the woods, dragging a blonde man in an army uniform behind them.

"Okay."


"That's my boyfriend, the tank thrower." Kyoka said jokingly, poking Johnny in the ribs.

"Okay, so I threw a tank, what about it?"

"You should've seen it land Kyoka, it was AWESOME!" Gyro stated enthusiastically. "It went off like a firework!"

"YOU HAVE ONLY DELAYED THE INEVITABLE! I, FRITZ VON STROHEIM, WILL DEFEAT YOU NO MATTER WHAT!" Von Stroheim hollered as they dragged him along.

"How exactly were you born? I remember Gramps telling me that Rudol Von Stroheim died in Stalingrad..." Johnny asked.

"...he had an illegitimate child in Mexico."

"Ah, I see."

All of a sudden, the three heard a CLANK!, and they turned to find that Stroheim had detached his head from his body. Stroheim cackled as his mechanical eye opened to reveal a propeller.

"SO LONG FOOLS! THIS ISN'T THE LAST YOU'VE SEEN OF FRITZ VON STROHEIM! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

A hawk had grabbed onto his head in midair, and flew off with it, Stroheim screaming all the way until he vanished from their sight.

"Is...he gonna be okay?" Kyoka asked. "Hawks aren't exactly the friendliest of birds..."

"Eh, he'll be fine." Gyro said, waving it off.

"I don't actually care." Johnny responded, earning a snort from the other two. The three began walking back towards the school.

"Well, Johnny, I have news for you, and a proposal." Kyoka said.

"Wow Kyoka, I knew you guys love each other, but a proposal this early in high school?" Gyro teased, and Kyoka yanked his hat over his eyes. "MERDE!"

"Really, do tell."

"My parents are insisting upon meeting you, so I don't think we can hold it off for too much longer. Also...would you be open to hang out with Kaminari?"

Johnny raised an eyebrow. "I take it you two made up?"

"Yeah...it's mostly just to put his mind at ease. He doesn't really know you all that well, that's why he's so suspicious...so I thought maybe we could ease the tension a little bit?"

"I'm open to it."

"Good."

Gyro finally managed to free himself from his hat, and glared at Kyoka. "Just wait until winter comes, then I'm gonna have a field day."

"Just try it Meatball."


By the way, I'm currently brainstorming a Thanksgiving special! If you guys have any ideas, feel free to let me know!
