This story got taken down from Fimfiction, but luckily they only revoked the submission so I was able to save the chapters. As such, this story will be staying at Fanfiction from now on. Just to let you know, the MLP characters in this story are NOT the ones from the TV show. They are simply alternate reality versions of them. Disclaimer: I don't own Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Phantom Blood Chapter 1: A New Beginning

The year was 1880, and a young girl was being dropped off in front of a rather large mansion by carriage. She was rather tall for her age, though not yet developed as a woman. She wore a typical girl's uniform, a small bag slung over her shoulder. Her violet eyes peaked out from behind similar colored bangs, a light indigo streak just off the left side of her hair. It was this remarkable hair color that gave her the nickname "Twilight Sparkle", in part because her full name was Lydia Twilight.

In her right hand she read a message from her dying father. "My dear Lydia. As your nickname would suggest, you have always been the sparkle in my eye. Yet my light is soon to fade. With your mother also having been taken by illness, I have made arrangements for you to be adopted by my best friend and fellow adventurer, George Joestar. He is a worldly individual and the two of us have collected a number of artifacts that would surely peak your intellectual curiosity.

Moreover, George has a son that is right around your age. Now don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to decide your future husband for you. Young Jonathan already has a betrothed, your old schoolmate Erina Pendleton. But George has often told me that Jonathan strives to become the picture of a gentleman, so I believe he would be willing to defend your honor should the need arise. I shall watch you grow into a lady from Heaven, but urge you to choose the path you believe in. And remember not to leak anything about the arrow unless you think it necessary. Your father, Nathaniel 'Night Light' Twilight."

Twilight shed a single tear before kissing the letter in remembrance of her late father, then walked up to the mansion. She was allowed in by a butler, who brought her up to George's study. The middle-aged man seemed world-weary, but he gave a soft smile when he saw Twilight. "Twilight, I'm pleased to see you. I was heartbroken to hear about Night Light's death. Between that and losing my wife years ago to a carriage accident, I feel like I'm losing too many people close to me."

Twilight looked shocked. "Father never told me you lost your wife. I'm sorry to hear about this." George nodded. "Thankfully her death was not in vain. She was able to keep Jonathan alive, even at her own expense." Twilight walked over to a nearby window and saw a young man her own age dressed in the usual gentleman's attire, sized to fit a young boy of course. He had clear indigo eyes and light blue hair. "That must be Jonathan," she noted, "He looks like he's been in a scrap."

George sighed. "He seeks to grow stronger so he can protect those that are weak, wanting to model himself as the perfect gentleman. As proud as I am of his dedication, I also wish he'd pick his fights more carefully." Just then another carriage pulled up near Jonathan. Twilight looked confused. "Ah," George realized, "I nearly forgot you're not the only child I'm adopting into the family. You see, during that carriage accident, my life and that of my son was saved by a man named Dario Brando. I owe him a life debt, but it seems he passed away recently due to old age. So, his son Dio offered to pick up the debt in his place."

The door of the carriage burst open, and a large briefcase was tossed out. A young boy Jonathan's age leapt out of the carriage wearing a blue suit. The boy's piercing red eyes and blonde hair made Twilight narrow her own eyes. 'There's something off about this boy.' "If you don't mind," Twilight said, "I should like to introduce myself to the young men." George nodded, and motioned for the butler to escort her to the yard.

She heard the excited barking of a Great Dane as it ran over to where Jonathan and Dio were standing. Twilight smiled at seeing the friendly dog, but then noticed Dio's knee going for it. Quickly, Twilight whispered, "Love is in Bloom." As Dio's knee connected with Danny's jaw, he screamed out in pain. It had been like hitting his knee against a coffee table. Danny, while dazed by the attack, seemed otherwise unharmed.

Regardless, Jonathan realized what Dio had been trying. "How dare you!," he called out, infuriated. Dio, despite his confusion at what happened, still carefully observed Jonathan's actions. 'I'll look into the mystery of Danny's iron jaw later. First I must focus on Jonathan. It seems he wears his heart on his sleeve. Breaking him down and becoming the sole heir to the Joestar fortune should be easy.' Twilight cleared her throat. "Excuse me, gentlemen. And in someone's case I'm using the term loosely."

She cast a venomous gaze at Dio that told him she had seen the entire thing. "My name is Lydia Twilight," Twilight explained, "But all my friends call me Twilight Sparkle. As of right now I have officially been adopted into this household." Dio looked at Twilight like she was a dangerous viper. In an instant, a new obstacle to his plans had presented itself. And knowing how pathetically kindhearted George was, Twilight was no doubt in the running for heir to the estate.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Jonathan said with a bow, "I am Jonathan Joestar, but all my friends call me Jojo." Dio picked himself up and dusted himself off. "Dio Brando." He narrowed his eyes. 'Something about her makes it plain she won't be as easy to break as Jonathan. In fact, she may just make it that much harder to break Jonathan. Twilight... You are definitely one to watch.' Little did he know, Twilight would be doing her own watching of Dio, and very closely.


Back in his study, George was still investigating the stone mask that had been the last ancient relic discovered by him and Night Light. Their research into the mask led them to an ancient sect of the Aztec empire, which had claims that the mask could grant whoever offered the mask a blood sacrifice eternal life and the power of a ruler. However, that sect disappeared around the 16th century. 'What secrets are you hiding?,' he thought to himself.

I had a bunch of separate chapters for OC Stands, but in this case I'll be posting all the new Stands. Keep in mind I'll only be including Stands that can't be found on any wiki (unless this story gets a wiki of its own).

Love is in Bloom (From "A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2")
User: Lydia Twilight "Sparkle"
Ability: Any target committing a physical assault against a living being, be it Twilight or someone else, will find the damage reflected back at them while their victim remains unharmed. Note that it only works against physical attacks, Love is in Bloom cannot work against poisons or elemental attacks. It can, however, work against all types of weapons, whether blunt, bladed, piercing, or even ranged. The Stand can target anyone Twilight is able to notice with her physical sight, but she must be able to recognize a legitimate assault, so she typically can't use it against opponents far away.
