JOJO'S AMERICAN DREAM

CHAPTER ONE

Our story begins in 1864 when the civil war was nearing its end. Jonathan Jonael, who was a mercenary for the Union, Found something strange on the battlefield. It was a strange native american totem pole with some weird carvings in them. The totem stood two meters tall and had a bunch of metal shavings on it. Left there from when the totem was carved. Jonathan reached out and touched the totem. While touching the totem Jonathan cut his hand on the metal shavings. Jonathan started dressing his wound and when he looked up the totem was gone. Jonathan had little time to to ponder what just happened, because the other troops near him rang the warning bell. The confederates were here and Jonathan had to rush to battle.

Fast forward ahead to thirty six years to the year 1900. Jonathan left his family and kids behind to set off by himself. Never giving a reason as to why he left. Jonathan's son Jostein Joneil was forced to take care of his family at the age of twelve. For the five years since Jonathan left jostein had to work for a steel manufacturer to make enough money to support him and his sick mother. "Hey Jojo! Stop daydreaming and get over here and get to work." yelled Alex john the manager of the steel plant Jostein worked at. Jostein snapped back to reality and yelled out to Alex saying "I'm on it Boss. I'll be right there." as he rushed over to alex to help with the work. "We need you to load all twenty of these steel rails onto the the train to be shipped out." said Alex. "By myself." asked Jostein. "Yes. We had to make some cuts to keep this ship afloat." said Alex. Jostein knows that things are going south for the company, but he keeps up his work while trying to save money and look for a new job. Jostein worked for three hours to move all twenty rails onto the rail by himself. Despite the fact that each rail weighed 132 pounds. When all his work was done Jostein clocked out and went home.

On his way home Jostein was stopped by Jackson. The biggest drunk in the town. "EEEhhh Jojo want to lend a fella some money for booze?" asked Jackson. Jostein looked Jackson in the eye and said "Go home and sober up. You sorry drunk." and continued to walk down the road. Jackson who was angry at Jostein for not getting him booze turns around and yells "Your mother's a whore." In that moment Jostein snapped. He turned around and punched Jackson in the face. He lost all control and kept punching Jackson until the town sheriff Drathus grabbed Jostens arms and through him against a nearby wall. "Jojo get a hold of yourself." said Drathus. In that moment Jostein snapped by to it and realized what he had just done. "Good now that you've calmed down. Could you both come with me?" asked Drathus. Drathus took the two the sheriffs office.

Drathus sat down in his office with Jostein while Jackson lied passed out in a cell till he sobered up. "Now tell me. What caused you to snap and attack Jackson?" asked Drathus. Jostein looked at Drathus and said "I lost it, because Jackson called my mom a whore." Drathus sighed and said "Look. I know your mom had a reason for what she did, but that doesn't deny the fact that she did sell her body to people. Even if it was to pay for medicine that saved your life. Now how about you use that life that she worked so hard to protect to do some good and not beat up some sorry drunk." to Jostein. "It just doesn't seem fair that she gets treated like a whore, because she did what she had to. To save my life." said Jostein with a sad look on his face. Drathus said "It's ok. I'm sure your mother doesn't care what all these assholes say and neither should you. Just go out their and make an honest living and take care of your mom and promise me that you'll try not to beat up drunks." to Jostein with cheer. Jostein smiled and said "Ok I promise." and got up and started his walk home.

It's pretty late in the day. The sky is almost completely black, but with a hint of light left in the sky. An eerie feeling was in the air. Jostein approached his house to see that the front door was broken. Jostein slowly came closer to his front door and peered inside it. Only to see his mom lying on the floor covered in blood and a man with dragon shaped scar on his face diving out the window. Jostein quickly rushed over to the window, but to no avail. The mysterious intruder disappeared into the darkness. "Jojo Come here." said Nora Joneil. Jostein's mother. Jostein rushed to his mother's side. "Don't worry I'll get a doctor and he'll fix you up, just please hold on." said Jostein as tears start to leave his eyes. "It's ok Jojo. I know I'm not gonna last much longer. I only have one last request if you could do it for me." said Nora while barely keeping conscious. "What is it. I'll do anything for you." replied Jostein. "Send me off with a smile. I always loved your smile. Every Time I saw it it filled my day with joy." said Nora. Jostein sat next to his mother and used all of his strength to put on a smile. Even though all of his heart wanted to cry and he kept up that smile till the last bit of light left his mothers eyes. After his mother passed and he finished sending her off with a smile, Jostein let out a cry from the bottom of his heart. Unleashing his stand that sat there crying next to him. Drathus hearing the cry rushed over to the scene to see what had happened. Drathus stood there shocked at what lied before him and said "Jostein. You've fully awakened your stand." Drathus took Jostein back to his house and calmed him down and rested through the night.

Jostein woke up in a sweat. Having been haunted by nightmares of what had happened the night before. He got out of bed and went into the living room. In the living room was Drathus and another man who Jostein had never seen before. The man stood up to introduce himself, however while he stood up he knocked his coffee on his leg burning himself. "Ow ow ow. Dam that hurts. Oh sorry I'm Schrodinger. It's a pleasure to meet you." said Schrodinger who is a man that is about five foot eleven inches tall. Who was dressed in all white and had pure white hair. An a strange feature about him is that he had a collar around his neck with the name Miss Fortune written on it. "Schrodinger's a old friend of mine who fought with me in the civil war. He also has a stand just like you and me." said Drathus. "A stand? What is that?" asked Jostein. "You already have your stand out." said Schrodinger as he points behind Jostein. Who then turned around and was shocked by what he saw. "You're saying that this is my stand?" asked Jostein. "Yes. A stand is a physical manifestation of your fighting spirit that stands beside you. Thus the name stand. It is a part of your very being and will come out whenever you call upon it. Also only people who have stands can see them. So what are you gonna name it?" asked Schrodinger. "Nirvana." said Jostein's stand. "Oh looks like your stand named itself." said Schrodinger. " . I like it. Ok let's go with Nirvana." said Jojo. "Ok now to get down to the real businesses. Tell me what the man who killed your mother looked like. I need to know because with my stand Cat I can track him down with ease. My stand allows me to disappear and reappear anywhere in the world in a instant." said Schrodinger. "I'm afraid I can't be of much help. I only was able to see a glimmer of his face." said Jojo. "Go on. Any defining features?" asked Schrodinger. "I remember a dragon shaped scar on the left side of his face.'" said Jojo. "That should give us a good start." said Drathus. "Hey Drathus. Is that the pistol that I gave you on the day the confederates surrendered." asked Schrodinger as he picked up the gun. "Yes, but that's not important right now." said Drathus, but Schrodinger ignored him and started to fiddle with the gun and said "Wow this is still in great condition. This is aweso…" He was interrupted by the gun misfiring into his face. Killing schrodinger instantly. "Oh My GODDDD!" shouted Jostein. "It's ok. He's fine." said Drathus. Trying to keep Jostein calm. "You need to chill out." said Schrodinger as he put his hand on the Jostein's shoulder. Like magic Schrodinger is ok and behind Jostein while his old body lied their dead. "I just got a bit of bad luck from my sub stand Miss Fortune." said Schrodinger who stood there with cat ears and a tail appearing out of nowhere.

"Is the tail and cat ears your stand?" asked Jostein. "Yes." Schrodinger replied. "Let's wrap this up. Schrodinger get to the search and Jostein don't you have work soon." said Drathus. "How can I go back to work after what happened last night?" asked Jostein. "I know it's hard, but you have a life to live and you need to be able to support yourself. Also It'll help pass time while Schrodinger goes on his hunt and you can practice using your stand while you wait. You have always used your stand unconsciously while you were a lad." said Drathus. "Ok I'll get right on it. I'll see you lat…" said Schrodinger as a safe that was on the second floor, broke through the floor and crushed him. "You're paying for the repairs." said Drathus. "Oh come on that's not fair." said Schrodinger. "If you didn't have Miss Fortune. My floor wouldn't have broken. You're paying for it." said Drathus. "Fine." said Schrodinger. Jostein couldn't help but laugh at the event unfolding before him.

Jostein had left Drathus's house and had arrived at his work, but to his surprise a mob of angry workers were out front of the the steel mill. Jostein walked over to a coworker named Mark and asked "What's going on?" Mark turned around and said "It's horrible. Carnegie steel bought and closed the mill. We all lost our jobs." with a angry expression on his face. Jostein was angry at this, but he was not the type who would just sit around and fuster about it. He turned around and went to the woods around the town.

Jostein went into the woods and was about a mile away from his hometown of Homestead. He came out here to practice using his stand he chopped down trees with his stand and chopped them into lumber that he could sell. Jojo kept it up for three day. Training for fourteen hours a day to help master his stand. While Jostein was training in the woods for three days, the angry mob of former workers blocked the entrance to their former mill. This way Carnegie steel couldn't get in and gut the place of the tools. As a result Carnage steel called in a private militia. The Pinkertons. When the Pinkertons arrived the mob of former workers hold themselves up and were ready to defend themselves. The Pinkertons demanded that the mob cleared out, but to no avail. The men in the mob started throwing rocks at the Pinkertons. When the rocks drew blood. The Pinkertons opened fire back. The imposing struggle ended with nine former workers and seven Pinkertons dead and Carnegie steel taking the factory.

Towards the end of the third day of Jostein's training. He was about to cut down his last tree for the day. He got ready to launch his punching burrage. Out of nowhere Schrodinger appeared in front of Jostein saying "Hey what's up.", but in the moment he showed up Jostein started his punching burrage. With his stand shouting "Dadadadadadadadada." The burrage of fists killed Schrodinger and sent his body flying through the tree. "Good job. The amazing strength and speed makes your stand very lethal." said Schrodinger as he appeared next to Jostein. "Oh My God! I didn't mean to kill you." said Jojo. "It's fine. I die about thirty times a day on average. I'm use to it." explained Schrodinger. "Wow you die that much. If that's the case then there must be thousands of your bodies lying around." said Jostein. "Not really. My dead bodies disappear after a day usually." Schrodinger. "OK. so anyway did you find the guy who murdered my mother?" asked Jostein. "I found a whole lot more than that." Schrodinger replied. "What do you mean?" asked Jostein. "The man who killed your mom is name Benjamin hodge. He was hired to kill anyone related to Jonathan Joneil by a man named Henry Frick. A top executive of Carnegie steel." said Schrodinger. "Why did Frick want my family dead?" asked Jostein with a curious look on his face. "Your father was a man with a lot of enemies. He pissed off the big three and he had a stand. That made him a big threat and because of that he and his family became targets." said Schrodinger. "Why would that make me and my mom targets?" asked Jostein. "Because If someone possess a stand, then there is a pretty good chance that their offspring will possess stands as well." said Schrodinger. "Yet how would the big three companies know about stands unless. Oh My God. They have stands as well." said Jostein. "Oh Son Of A Bitch." Shouted Nirvana. "Now that you know all of this what do you want to do? I mean since Ben Hodge is with the big three there's nothing the police can do to him. That's why I haven't told Drathus yet." asked Schrodinger. "Give me a day to think about it. I'll meet you tomorrow to decide what to do." said Jostein. "Ok. I'll see you tomorrow then." said Schrodinger as he disappeared. With a lot on his mind Jostein went back to the village.

Upon returning to the town Jostein was shocked at what he found. Before him stood the aftermath of massacre that happened earlier that day. "What happened." shouted Jostein. "Jojo come here." said Mark. Looking at Mark he could see a bullet wound in his left shoulder. "Are you ok Mark?" asked Jostein. "I'm ok enough. Someone has to tell you this and it seems like I'm the one. After they closed the factory, Carnegie steel was going to gut the place and take anything of value and we weren't gonna let that happen. We barricaded the mill and prepared for the worst, but they through more at us then we could handle. Frick called in the Pinkertons and we stopped them at the gate. We refused to let them in and some of us even threw rocks at them to scare them off. One of the rocks hit a Pinkerton and they returned fire and a battle began. It didn't stop till the governor called in the militia to get the factory back into Carnegie steel's hands. Nine of us died in the battle and Alex was one of them." said Mark. Jostein was left speechless. He was left silent for a moment, but that silence soon turned to tears. In a matter of a few days. A big company destroyed everything he held dear. Jostein paid his respects and went home that night. Thinking about everything that had happened in the last week.

The following afternoon after selling all the lumber he cut. Jostein went to meet Schrodinger. "So have you made up your mind?" asked Schrodinger as he appeared on a tree branch near Jostein. "Yeah I have. I'm going to take down Carnegie steel and the rest of the big three. To put a stop to the harm that they are causing everyone." replied Jostein. "You know that means becoming a vigilante right." said Schrodinger. "I know and I've made up my mind. I can't let something like this happen again to someone else." said Jostein. "Good. I'll join you then. Ben is headed to Pittsburgh. That should be our start." said Schrodinger. "Ok let's go." said Jostein as the two started their journey to take down the three biggest monopolies in the country.

Authors note: I realized that trying to write this out without a manga format is really hard. So I think that this story would flow better if it had a manga. Unfortunately I'm terrible at drawing. Witch is why If someone wants to turn this into a manga. Go ahead. I would love to see how it turns out. By all means if you make a manga out of this create your own stand designs.

CHAPTER TWO

Jostein and Schrodinger are on the road to Pittsburgh, but along the way they had to make a stop. "Hey Schrodinger are you ok?" shouted Jostein. "OH God It Hurts So Much!" shouted Schrodinger. "That's what you get when you eat berries off a random bush without knowing what it is." said Jojo. "Oh god just kill me. Please. I could get a new body and not have to deal with this." said Schrodinger. "No. You have to deal with this or you'll never learn." said Jojo. "You freaking monster!" shouted Schrodinger. After ten more minutes of Schrodinger suffering. The two continued the down the road to Pittsburgh.

"Hey Jojo. when we get to Pittsburgh you will have to go it alone." said Schrodinger. "Why?" asked Jostein. "Lets just say I got drunk a couple years ago and caused a lot of trouble for the whole town and now they all hate me." said Schrodinger. "What did you do. I need details." said Jojo. "You'll find out when you get to Pittsburgh. Also while you're in Pittsburgh I'll be keeping an eye from a distance so that He can't escape. Besides I'm horrible in combat anyways." said Schrodinger. "That doesn't sound like a bad plan." said Jostein. The two continued down the road until them came up to a mysterious man. Who threw himself onto the road in front of the car and got run over. "Oh My God!" shouted Jostein. The two stopped their car and ran to see if the guy was alive. "Hey are you ok?" asked Schrodinger. "Yes. Unfortunately." said the man with a disappointed look on his face. "Who are you?" asked Jojo. "The names Scava and it's best that you don't associate with me." said Scava and he got up and walked away. "What a bizarre man." said Schrodinger. "Let's just ignore it for now. We got more important things to do right now." said Jostein. The two continued towards Pittsburgh.

Jostein is just about to enter Pittsburgh and Schrodinger disappeared. It all seemed normal till he entered the town and saw a tree with twenty Schrodinger's hanging on a tree. Shocked by the sight Jostein remembered that Schrodinger said he caused a lot of trouble and it only left more questions to be answered. Jostein began asking around town about a man with a dragon shaped scar on the left side of his face. With some luck he came across a shopkeeper who knew the something about the man. "You're looking for Benjamin Hodge right. He lives in the old hunting shed on the outside of the town." said the shopkeeper. "Thank you very much." said Jostein. "Don't mention it." said the shopkeeper. With this knowledge Jostein set off to get his revenge.

Upon arriving at the shed that was beaten down and old. Jostein yelled "Benjamin Hodge are you here." "Boss look out." said Nirvana. In that moment three steel balls shot through the door of the shed. Jostein was barely able to dodge the balls flying at him. "Well well well. I thought I killed all the Joneils. I didn't know that those two had a kid, but now that you're here I can finish the job." said Ben."Boss let's kill da hoe." said Nirvana. "You'll pay for killing my mother." said Jostein as he began his charge. "Let's go Don't Stop Me Now." said Ben as his stand appeared and grabbed three steel balls and threw them at jostein. Jostein prepared to block with his stand as he kept up his charge. Ben smiled as the balls hit and pierced through Nirvana and Jostein. Leaving them both full of holes. "You fool! Anything given motion by Don't Stop Me Now will not lose momentum till It leaves my range or I stop it. Farewell Jojo." said Ben as he through the last steel ball to finish off Jostein.

In his last moments of life Nirvana leaned over Jostein and said "This route ends in death. Let's try a different one." Suddenly Jostein was standing in the exact situation he was in before he began his rush. Jostein was shocked at what just happened. In his mind he realized that his stand's ability allowed his to try this fight but do things differently. "Boss let's kill da hoe." said Nirvana. Realizing that he might not get another chance like this Jostein went all in. "I'll make you pay for killing my mom." said Jostein." said Jostein as he began his charge. "Let's go Don't Stop Me Now." said Ben as his stand appeared and grabbed three steel balls and threw them at jostein. However this time instead of blocking, Jostein decided to dodge the steel balls. With the distance between them closing Ben started throwing more steel balls at a more frantic pace. "It's over!" shouted Jostein and he began his da Burrage. Nirvana shouted "DADADADADADADADADADADADADA!" The fury of punched sent Ben's body flying through the shed wall.

"Well. Not bad. However It's not enough to kill me." said Ben. Don't Stop Me now grabbed a bunch of debris and chucked it at Jostein. Then he threw a steel ball into the frey. That bounced off the debris changing the direction of each shard. Jostein used his routing ability to live out three of his available routes. First route he blocks and gets killed. Second route he dodges to the side and gets hit with a ton of shards. The third route Jostein uses a stand jump and dodges all of the incoming projectiles. Jostein having lived out all three of the routes decided to take the third route. While mid air Jostein grabbed a branch and swung towards Benjamin. Ben got ready to attack back. A clash of Nirvana's kicking and Don't Stop Me Now's punching. With both stands shouting their battle cries. Nirvana shouting "DADADADADADADADA!" and Ben shouting "Dot Dot Dot Dot Dot Dot Dot." Nirvana was a bit stronger in its attacks. Ben took a couple of hits till he managed to slightly push Jostein in the air. Jostein was stuck moving slowly in the air. Jostein tried using his routes to find a way out of this situation but he couldn't find a way to escape. Ben got ready to throw his steel balls and end jostein. Just as it seemed that all hope is lost, Schrodinger appeared just under Jostein and yelled "Kick off of me." Jostein saw the chance and kicked off of Schrodinger changing his trajectory and moving him outside of Ben's range faster. Thanks to Schrodinger Jostein managed to dodge Ben's steel balls. Jostein landed on the ground. "Jojo rush him." said Schrodinger. Jostein didn't hesitate and rushed at Ben. "Let's kill da hoe!" shouted Nirvana. "Get them DSMN." said Ben. A massive amount of steel balls were sent flying at Jostein, however Schrodinger appeared in front of Jostein and took the hit. With the steel balls inside him schrodinger teleported away from Jostein and died. With the path clear Jostein rushed in and landed one last punch while Nirvana was shouting "DA." Finishing off Benjamin Hodge. With his enemy defeated Jostein had a tear come down his eye as he said "I did it mother. I avenged you."

"Nice fight." said a man who stood behind Jostein. "Who are you?" asked Jojo. "The name's Donnie Diavolo and my stand is Gun's and Roses." said Donnie. "So what do you want Donnie." asked Jostein. "I'm with a group known as the Anarchists and seeing that you just killed my target I'd say you're qualified enough to join us. So tell me what's your name?" asked Donnie. "The names Jostein Jonael." said Jojo. "Oh. So you're Jonathan's son." said Donnie. "How do you know my father?" asked Jojo. "Your father was a mercenary in the civil war and during the last year of the war he came into contact with a indian totem pole made from a meteorite. That crashed landed in the devil's palm many years ago. When he made contact with the totem pole he awakened his stand, just like many others around him. He saw what the big three monopolies where doing and tried to stop them. He got close to taking down Rockefeller, but he was defeated and his fate unknown." said Donnie. "Wow. I never knew that about him. I always thought he was a scumbag who abandoned his family." said Jostein. "I know this must be a lot to take in at once, but I hope you'll join us." said Donnie. "Hey kid wanna see a dead body." said Schrodinger as he appeared in front of Donnie. Donnie freaked out and used his stand Guns and Roses to turn his hand into revolver and shot Schrodinger six times in the chest. "The hell was that." shouted Donnie. "That's just Schrodinger." said Jostein. "Schrodinger? You mean the guy who nearly burned down the whole town?" said Donnie. "Explain." said Jojo. "About three years ago at a festival in Pittsburgh. Schrodinger got drunk and decided to flirt with a lot of girls.

Even married women. In one of his attempts he tried to juggle several flaming torches in the middle of the booze storage shed. Needless to say he dropped a torch and caused an explosion and nearly burned the whole town down." said Donnie. "God damn it Schrodinger." said Jojo. "I'm sorry. I was drunk." said Schrodinger as he reappeared. "Man I understand why they killed you twenty times." said Jojo. "Wrong. They killed me fifty two times. Not all my bodies stayed. Only the ones that are suspended in air didn't disappear." said Schrodinger. "Calm down you two. There is no reason to lose it over this.

Now let's get down to business. Jostein if you want to join the anarchists, you have to pass my test." said Donnie. "What test and why doesn't Schrodinger have to take one?" asked Jostein. "I'm already a member. How do you think that I was able to find Ben so quickly and make it so you to just happen to meet." said Schrodinger. "You never change do you Schrodinger. You're always up to something." said Donnie. "Guilty as charged." said Schrodinger. "Hang on wait. How do you know Schrodinger if when he scared you. You had to ask what was that." asked Jostein. "This is the first time I've personally met him. Schrodinger has been a bit of a phantom. He shows up here and there and gives great info, but he likes to set events up to happen in a way to entertain himself. At least that's what the rumors say." said Donnie. "That sounds like him." said Jostein. "Now let's get to the test." said Donnie. "There's no need. Jojo already proved himself in his fight with Ben. Let's just go meet up with Gabriel." said Schrodinger. "Fine by me. My stand isn't good at being non lethal anyways." said Donnie. The three got ready to set off. Not knowing about the number on the back of Jostein's neck. The number 100.

CHAPTER THREE

The three went back into town to get a car to travel to meet up with Gabriel. "So where is Gabriel anyways?" asked Jostein. "He's in Cleveland." said Donnie. "Nice i'll see yah in Cleveland." said Schrodinger as he disappeared. "Really. You gotta be kidding me." said Jojo. "This is probably why almost no one in the anarchists have seen him." said Donnie. The two took four more steps and realized that Schrodinger was carrying all their money. "Please tell me you have some money on you." said Jostein. Donnie checked his pockets and said "Only ten dollars. That's not enough to get us to Cleveland." "OH Son Of A Bitch." said Nirvana. "Did you guys say you needed to go to Cleveland?" asked the shopkeeper who helped Jostein earlier. "Don't bother with him." said Donnie. "Well that's to bad. I needed two strong young men to help me move my goods. You see I'm a traveling salesman and my inventory has grown a little too full. I was hoping if I went to a place like Pittsburgh or Cleveland, I would be able to sell my goods. However no one her is interested and it would be really hard for an old man like me to move all of my supplies to Cleveland by myself. If you two are willing to help me move my supplies, I'll pay for your train ticket." said the shopkeeper.

Jostein being a little suspicious asked "If you don't mind could you tell me your name? My name is Jostein." "Of course. I'm Richard Renald." said Richard. "Excuse me for being rude, but may I ask your age?" asked Jojo. "Quite the curious fella aren't yah, but if you must know I'm sixty three." said Richard. In that moment Nirvana punched a hole trough Richards chest. "What the Hell." shouted Donnie. Jostein ignored him and searched through Richards corpse. Jostein finally found his wallet and started going through it. "Jojo stop!" said Donnie and he pointed a gun at Jostein's head. Nirvana got ready to defend Jostein as he continued to read all of Richards ID. "It's ok Donnie. I got the info I needed. Nirvana let's take a different route." said Jostein.

Suddenly everything cuts back to the moment just before Jostein killed Richard. Sure thing I'd be happy to help." said Jostein. "I'm not sure about this." said Donnie. "It's ok. I'll help him and you use your ten dollars to get your ticket." said Jostein. "Well then. Shall we get going." said Richard. The three got Richards supplies and boarded the train. 750. The train takes one day to get from Pittsburgh to Cleveland and while the three enjoy the ride to Cleveland, the number on Jostein's neck keeps on growing. Though no one noticed the number. Donnie has never dropped his suspicion of Richard. However Richard has only given reasons to like him. He even treated Jostein to free dinner. Donie refused to take the food. The day goes on and it's getting close to midnight and it's about three hours till they arrive in Cleveland. The three stayed up and where playing poker and gambling. "Alright boys lay them out." said Jostein as he lays out his hand. "Bam! Full house." said Donnie. "I got four of a kind." said Richard. "Ooohhh yeah. Straight flush. Pay up." said Jostein. Jostein took his winnings. 1750. The guys had a good laugh and when they calmed down, Richard said "Ok I think the debt has built up enough now. Jostein kill Donnie." Out of nowhere Nirvana came out and started punching Donnie. Donnie was sent flying and hit the wall. Donnie lied there unconscious and covered in blood. "Don't use you stand unless I say so" said Richard. Jostein stood there unable to move. In shock of what just happened. "You must be surprised." said Richard. He moves over to check the back of Jostein's neck. "1500 huh. It does cost more to make people attack people they trust." said Richard. "Just what did you do to me?" asked Jostein. "My stand Don't Take The Money allows me to build up debt on people by doing nice things for them. The nicer I am the more it builds up and my stand forces them to repay the debt by making them follow every one of my orders. Now you're gonna help me rob this train." said Richard.

For the next hour and a half Richard had Jostein going from train car to train car attacking the passengers while he looted the victims. Jostein was trying his hardest to hold back and not attack. The best he could do was making Nirvana only knock out the passengers. 150. "Dang I almost used up all of your debt." said Richard. Jostein's face was filled with rage. Angry at the fact that he was betrayed and used to harm others. "I'll get you for this even if it kills me." said Jostein. "I'll hold you to that." said Donnie as he struggled to get through the door. It was clear that he was still injured and limping around. Donnie turned his hand into a revolver and bagan loading it. "Jostein kill him." shouted Richard. Before Jostein could move Donnie shot him in the legs. Jostein could not move and was in great pain. "What are you going to do now? I'm out of Jostein's range and can shoot you at any moment, but before I do that. I want to know why you did this. Are you working for the big three?" asked Donnie. "Yeah right. I have no ties to those jackasses. I'm doing this all just for myself. It's all for me. No one can stop me either." said Richard. This all sounded to similar to Donnie, just like someone he used to know. Donnie could not stop thinking of the night that changed his life.

Donnie grew up in New York city and was raised in a poor household. His dad was a drunk who was a good for nothing. His mother was a maid who tried her hardest to make things work and raise Donnie with care. Whenever his father would get angry, he would beat him and his mother. Because of this He grew to hate his father. He would always ask his mother why she stayed with him. She always told him that she stayed because she couldn't support him on her own. Donnie tried constantly to get a job to be able to support his mother and move away from his father. At the age of fifteen he finally got a job that paid enough to move out. All seemed good till that night came.

While Donnie was on his way home from work. His father broke into the apartment that Donnie and his mother moved to and beat and kidnapped Donnie's mother. Donnie was just in sight of his apartment as his father threw his mother into the the back of the carriage. He rushed to his neighbors and begged to barrow a horse and went after his dad. He followed his father just out of his dads view till he came to a stop in the forest. His dad grabbed his ex wife and threw her up against a tree and shouted "You fucking bitch. You shouldn't have left and now you're going to die." He got out his gun and was about to fire, but Donnie was just in time and tackled his father at the last moment. Donnie struggled to get the gun away from his father, however his father was stronger than him and started beating Donnie and threw him into a spiky totem pole that was a few feet away. "I'll kill you next." said his father as he picked up his gun and walked over to kill his ex wife. The first shot missed her vitals and lodged in her stomach. Angry at what happened Donnie got up and in a daze he rushed his father to punch him in the face. However Donnie unknowingly used his newfound stand to turn his fist into a knife. He stood their shocked having just killed his father, yet he couldn't bring himself to feel sorry for killing the bastard. Luckily his mom was out cold and didn't see the murder that just took place.

He took his mother to the hospital and tried his hardest to forget what just happened. At that time Gabriel Valentine from the anarchists took notice of what happened and recruited Donnie in exchange for paying for his mothers treatment. Donnie worked hard to fulfil his duty and keep a vow to himself. That he would never let anyone suffer like he did and take down tyrants for those who couldn't defend themselves.

"So that's it. You make me sick." said Donnie as he unleashed a fury of shots. "Jojo use Nirvana to deflect bullets." shouted Richard. Nirvana deflected all four bullets Donnie shot. Donnie said "If a revolver won't work then let's try this." as he turned his arm into a gatling gun and rained a bullet hell. Firing more bullets then Nirvana could block. Richard screamed as he was shot repeatedly and died in a few seconds. Though because Donnie fired so many bullets his other arm and legs shriveled up to almost nothing. The loss of so much body mass made his wounds much worse. Donnie collapsed from blood loss."Donnie hang on I'll be there to help you." said Jostein as he tried to crawl over to Donnie, but Jostein knew it was pointless. He had no medical experience and could not move fast enough to get to Donnie.

Out of nowhere the train stopped. The door opened and a man entered and kneeled down next to Donnie and said "You did a good job Donnie. Now let's fix you up." The man put his hand on Donnie. Jostein was amazed as to what he was seeing. All of Donnie's wounds and his shriveled up limbs returned to normal. Donnie regained conscious and said "Thanks Gabe, but how are you here and how are we in Cleveland. It should of took us another hour at least to get here." "You can thank me for that. I realized that I left with all the money and decided to come find you to come find you guys and give you travel money, but when I got back to Pittsburgh I found out you guys took the train. I showed up on the train as all of this started. You guys didn't notice me so I got to work. I went to Gabe and had him get things ready here and appeared at the front of the train and got them to increase the speed of the train. This way we could get help to you guys faster." said Schrodinger. "Why didn't you help in the fight?" asked Jostein. "Miss Fortune make me almost useless in combat. The most I can do is provide support and unfortunately Donnie was already knocked out by the time I could do anything." said Schrodinger. "Let's stop idling chatter and get a move on. Led can only stall the police for so long." said Gabriel. Gabriel went around the train cars reverting all of the passengers bodies and minds to the state they were in before the incident. With all evidence erased the four of them left the scene and headed to the Anarchists hideout.

The hideout was an old abandoned warehouse that was on the edge of the docks. "This place looks beat down." said Jostein. Gabriel instantly smacked Jostein on the head. "When you get your own place and pay for it. Then you can judge." said Gabriel. "So what's the plan?" asked Donnie. "Wait for Led Zeppelin to get here. Then I'll explain." said Gabriel. After about five minutes of waiting a woman with lots of skin showing entered the warehouse. She stood about 1.9 meters tall almost .2 meters shorter than Gabriel. She was dressed in a only a bra and short shorts that barely cover her behind and a cape. She had tattoos on her body that resemble that of indians. Jostein's eyes were drawn to her exposed body. She took note of that and took a deep breath and grabbed a steel ball from her holster. It seemed as though she was glowing. Out of nowhere the steel ball started spinning and went flying into Jostein's chest. Sending him flying backwards. "My eyes are up here ya jackass." said Led Zeppelin. "Yup I knew Led would do that." said Donnie. "Jojo just so you know. She's half indian. If you try to ask her in a improper way she will beat you." said Schrodinger. "Can we all calm down. I'm going to explain the plan now." said Gabriel.

"So as you all know are goal is to take down the big three and we are finally going to have our chance. Our first main target is Carnegie, however the problem is that he has a ton of powerful stand users by his side. With all of his stand users on his side we can't get near him. His strongest ally Frick is finally leaving Carnegie's side for a day. In three days Frick is hosting a event at his country club in Johnstown and at the same time Andrew Carnegie is attending a meeting in New York. I believe that if we could take down Frick, we could then take the fight to Carnegie himself. The only problem is that Frick and Carnegie are the only two in their company that we don't know their stands ability. With that being said we are going to set out the day after tomorrow early in the morning to execute Frick, so all of you use tomorrow to get ready." said Gabriel. "Awesome this sounds like a epic opportunity." said Donnie. "The plan is set in stone. Now all of you meet back here in the morning of May thirtieth. Also Jostein Schrodinger told me that you only just awakened your stand recently. If you want to know more about stands and their history ask Led about it. Her tribe is deeply tied to the Totem poles that gave your family stands. It's thanks to her we were able to find out more about stands then we could have ever discovered on our own." said Gabriel. "I can't explain everything though. So we'll save the chatter for tomorrow." said Led. Everyone split up and went home. Jostein couldn't wait to learn more about the history of stands and was even more eager to get his revenge on Frick for sending people to kill his family.

"Hey Jojo you don't have a place to stay do you. You can come stay at my place if you want." said Donnie. "Sure that sounds great." said Jostein. "We just need to make one stop before going to the apartment." said Donnie. "Where are we going?" asked Jostein. "An orphanage. I always make a donation to them with any extra money I get from the Anarchists. I only need enough to get by, the rest goes to the kids." said Donnie. "Wait we get paid?" said Jojo. "Yeah for any mission we complete we get paid." said Donnie. "Is that why you joined? For the Money." asked Jostein. "No I would never do anything like that. When I first got my stand It was the night my dad kidnapped my mom and shot her. She survived and I ended up killing my dad with my stand. The cost of keeping my mother alive was to much for me to pay and I was lucky that Gabe found me and helped me pay for her treatment in exchange for me joining the anarchists. My mother is all healed now and is living happily and I visit her from time to time and do this work to stop the bastards from causing harm to others and if I get some spare money along the way. I'll give it to kids in need." said Donnie. "Wow. You're a good person. You know that." said Jostein.

The two arrived at the orphanage and Donnie gave them his donation and was dragged off by the kids to play for a bit. "He's a great man and is truly kind hearted. If it weren't for his donations I doubt we could keep this place running." said a worker at the orphanage. "He truly is." said Jostein. Once they finished things up at the orphanage the two went to Donnie's apartment and rested for the battle to come.
