Jump 12 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Part 2: Destiny of a Jumper

(Music: https://youtu.be/ccVYoV_VDpM)

Later that same day, Jotaro got a call from Josuke. He had encountered Angelo on his way to school and managed to capture him when he targeted his mother. We hastily made our way there as fast as possible, but it wasn’t fast enough. Anglo had managed to escape and in the process, murder Josuke’s grandfather. The boy tried to heal the wounds but… once a life is lost, there’s nothing Crazy Diamond can do. Jotaro stayed close to Josuke for the next three days and I drifted in and out to investigate elsewhere. While I was out it began to rain, and that’s when Angelo decided to strike. While I wasn’t there to witness it, the result of the confrontation was that Angelo became… a giant stone and a landmark of Morioh’s. Josuke’s Crazy Diamond had somehow fused the rock and Angelo together. I made a mental note not to get on Josuke’s bad side if I could help it.

In some of the following days, Josuke and Koichi encountered the Stand user that gave Angelo Aqua Necklace and his brother. In the process, the bow and arrow (which must be similar to the one locked in my room) was stolen and Keicho (the older of the Stand brothers) was killed by an electrical Stand. Okyuasu was won over to Josuke’s side and became friends with him and Koichi and an ally against future enemy Stand users.

But… my story diverges slightly after learning about Angelo’s fate. Two days after that incident, I had my first encounter with four bizarre individuals. The day began relatively normally. I woke up in the morning, had breakfast and a shower and set off to continue exploring Morioh. When I made it to the front desk of the hotel, there was a short girl with scarlet hair arguing with the receptionist. She was the size of a kid but the way she carried herself seemed to imply otherwise. Clad in a black and white dress with no end to the frills, she wore

“What do you mean the penthouse suite is booked? Nobody with that kind of money would come here!”

The receptionist tried to tell her otherwise, but she wasn’t having any of it.

“I’ve lived in this town my entire life so I know there’s no reason someone that rich would want to be here now.”

The receptionist asked her the next logical question, being why she wanted a room here if she lived in town.

“Because everything in Morioh belongs to me anyway. What about the suite on the floor below then? The look on your face says it all. The person in the penthouse can stay, but the other guy has got to go.”

I sighed at the childishness being displayed and left the hotel before she somehow learned that I had the suite underneath the penthouse. Outside the hotel was someone even stranger however.

“The glass these on these doors is of impeccable quality. The joy smashing it would bring me…”

This man was of average height, had glasses and unkempt brown hair. He was wearing brown jeans with various tears throughout them, a shirt depicting glass being broken and a tan leather jacket with numerous words embedded on it. They all were synonymous with the word “break”. He also had a black scarf wrapped around his neck for some reason.

“Hey, you there! What are you staring at? You want to get shattered like this glass is about to be?”

“…”

I stared at him for a few brief moments and began to take my leave.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Crush 40: Dangerous Ground.”

The man began to make his way towards me, so I summoned Crush 40 and activated its ability. The man soon tripped on part of the sidewalk that hadn’t been raised a second ago. His glasses fell off and bounced by my feet, so I picked them up.

“Oh, so you have one of those too. If all it can do is trip people then you’ve got a pretty shitty one.”

“You can see Crush 40?”

“No shit dumbass. Even without my glasses I can see your dumb Stand. Once I get close I’ll break it, and you for mess’n with me.”

I tossed him his glasses and continued walking away. He caught them, crushed them in his hand and produced another pair from within his jacket that he put on while getting up. He was continually halted in his advances by varying pieces of the environment.

“Stop running away and fight me!”

“If you haven’t used your Stand yet, chances are it isn’t combat related. Maybe next time I’ll oblige you.”

The last I heard from him was a scream of anger, and the feeling that Crush 40 was making leaving the hotel entrance area hell.

I resumed surveying the town for the rest of the morning with no further interruptions. Feeling the onset of hunger, I looked around for some place to eat. Unfortunately I had wandered into the more residential districts. I spotted a tall man with shaggy black hair, wearing a black jacket with the words “HOUND” and “DOG” on the right and left sleeves respectively, a plain black shirt underneath and some blue jeans. With nobody else around, he was my only chance for directions to a restaurant.

“Excuse me, could I take a moment of your time?”

“You must think awfully high of yourself if you think you’re worth my time. Get lost.”

Something about this man reminded me of someone, as did those other two from earlier once I thought about it. But I decided to dismiss it and leave the rude person alone. I figured it shouldn’t be too hard to find someone else to ask and began to leave.

“Hey, hold on a second. You look familiar…”

Wondering where he could have possible seen me before, I turned around and a look of realization came on his face.

“Yeah, I thought it was you.”

“I don’t believe we’ve met before.”

“We haven’t, but you messed with a maniac with glasses earlier at the Morioh Grand Hotel didn’t you?”

“How would you know one way or the other?”

“That crazy guy’s an associate of mine, and I’m the only one that gets to mess with him. So I’m going to have to waste my time teaching you a lesson.”

“The only person’s time that’ll be wasted is mine. I doubt you’ll be able to even touch-”

I was forced to cut my sentence short as I dodged a train car that was suddenly speeding towards me. Without instant movement I’d have been hit for sure.

“What in the world was that?”

The train car had disappeared as quickly as it came into existence and I had to block a punch from the man aimed at my face.

“Interesting. Most don’t even make it to this part.”

I pushed his fist away and kicked his legs from under him with a sweep, following up with a stream of electricity sent at his chest. He hit the ground with a thud and I breathed a sigh of relief that didn’t last long.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is great! Fighting you won’t be a disappointment after all.”

I didn’t have time to see his reaction as the same train from before barreled towards me from behind. Jumping backwards, I gracefully flipped over it only to find the man back on his feet with nothing but killing intent in his eyes. If I didn’t look closely it almost seemed like there was an aura of animosity surrounding his entire being. He dashed towards me quicker than I expected for someone here and unleashed a flurry of punches, shouting “MUDA!” with each strike. I dodged them all for my part, and once again took to the air when the train appeared on my right.

“Come on and fight back! I didn’t decide to give you the time of day because I wanted to play tag.”

Upon landing I decided to oblige him and shot a bolt of electricity at him. He sidestepped it and smirked. I sent dozens more his way which he continued dodging as he slowly closed the gap between us. When he was close enough, I stepped in gave him two swift, solid punches to the face, followed by a knee to the gut and finished with a kick that sent him back. I wasn’t given time to follow up as the train came at me again. Standing my ground this time, I focused my power and pushed against the train. To the man’s surprise, I wasn’t sent flying or run over, but holding my ground and keeping the train stationary. I started forcing it back when the power behind it suddenly doubled and I began losing ground. The man began walking slowly towards me and began to speak.

“So you got tired of dodging at took it head on? You must be some kind of idiot to think you could stop a train. I admit watching you struggle against it is entertaining, but I think it’s time to put this farce to an end.”

The train was suddenly gone (my balance along with it), and the man returned the favor from earlier and tripped me. I caught myself on my hands and moved in for a kick but had to retreat as the train nearly fell on me. I was done taking it easy on him. The man’s confidence in his…train summoning would be his downfall. I activated Crush 40 and to my surprise he didn’t acknowledge its presence. I quickly lessened the distance between us and we traded blows, blocking what the other threw and attempting to counter. Intermingled with that were times where I was forced to back away due to the train’s sudden appearance. But with Crush 40, I faked tripping and he took the bait and rushed to land a clean hit to knock me into where he would be sending the train next.

“The next thing you’re going to say is: ‘Now you’re finished!’”

“Now you’re finished! Wha-?”

One of his feet got caught in an uneven part of the concrete and he began to fall. I used instant movement to get behind him and pushed him into his own finisher.

“Consider my time wasted.”

He only had time to give me a hate filled glare before being carried off by the train.

I had no doubts that it didn’t kill him, and figured he be looking for revenge at some point. But that was something to worry about another time, I was still hungry.

(Music: https://youtu.be/63kizvCh1tk)

Making my way through the residential area I was stopped by the appearance of a person with green hair, and the most gender ambiguous clothing I had seen thus far. They had a certain fire in their eyes as they approached me.

“Hey there stranger. I see you took out that train obsessed dog, with his own strategy no less.”

Their voice was clearly feminine, so I had one question answered as I asked another.

“Are you a friend of his looking to avenge his loss then?”

“Friends? With that asshole? As if. I’d like to think of us more as… strangers with a common interest. The next thing you’re going to ask is what I’d want from you then, right?”

“So what do… Yes, that’s my next question.”

“That’s pretty simple. I just want to fight you myself. You seem pretty strong, and only a little predictable.”

“A little predictable? I’ll just have to prove you wrong.”

“See what I mean?”

My look of surprise was all she needed as confirmation as she began laughing at me.

“The name’s Sigmein. What’s yours?”

“I go by King.”

“Well then King, show me a good time now.”

She gave me a wink, and I once again I found myself drawn into a battle. But this one less about raw power and more about reading my opponent. She was quick on her feet, and adapted to whatever martial art I used with ease. Her breathing remained steady and I could feel some sort of power welling up inside of her.

“Sunlight Yellow: Overdrive!”

There was a burst of energy contained within her arm as she ducked underneath one of my punches and hit me with an uppercut that sent me into the air. My chin felt burnt as I righted myself in the air and landed.

“Is that really all you’ve got? Maybe it was a fluke that you beat that dog.”

“I assure you, this is by no means, all I’ve got.”

“Then don’t keep a girl waiting. That’s pretty rude you know.”

I began to channel electricity in my arms and brought the fight back to Sigmein. She continued to pour this strange power into her arms and our blows clashed with sparks sent off in every direction.

“Now this is more like it!”

As the battle continued we each gradually increased the intensity of our strikes. I was lucky to graze her, while she landed several clean hits on me that stung more than I’d like to admit. Eventually, her seemingly endless stamina ran out and she was left breathing heavily while I was still fairly ok.

“Alright… I think that’s enough for today. Phew. You sure can take a beating.”

“And you’re a hard one to hit.”

“Nah. You’re just predictable enough to dodge is all.”

“I’ll keep that in mind… Since you seem to be the only reasonable person I’ll meet today, would you mind telling me where I can get something to eat?”

“I thought you’d never ask. I’m starving after that work out. Follow me, I know this great sandwich place I can get us a discount at.”
