Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6.1: Dark Passion Play

Prologue: The Pharaoh Sails To Orion

Cap Canaveral, Florida, U.S.A, 2012 (maybe)

Jotaro Kujo, the man currently wearing a blue trenchcoat-length school uniform jacket with yellow chains hanging from the left side of the collar and a school cap with a small card on its rim that let uncertain where his hair actually started, was known to be relatively unflappable. He rarely displayed anything but aloofness or irritation. It had taken the murder of his grandfather to make him lose control of his temper, even though the old fox had been revived later. As of 1999, Koichi Hirose could proudly state that he was the first man since Jean-Pierre Polnareff in 1989 to have seen him smile, just after being almost gutted and blown up. Finally, Jolyne Kujo, Jotaro's daughter, could pretend to be the only one to have ever seen unadulterated fright on Jotaro's face just before she was almost shot by Jongali A.

So all in all, the number of times when Jotaro lost his composure could be counted on the fingers of two hands, maybe even one since even when losing his calm, Jotaro remained extremely composed. It was reflected by his Stand, this projection of vital energy that took the form of a tall green-skinned man with a mane of dark green hair and a black form-fitting armour. The entity that Jotaro could call forth at will and that could only be perceived by other Stand Users also wore a golden circlet with a red gem, golden ear protections, ornate shoulder and elbow protections and fingerless gloves with several round metallic pins. The Stand was monstrously strong, could punch through granite at high speed and was precise enough to stop a bullet by catching it with its fingers or to do brain surgery with a butcher knife. The Stand looked fearsome and intimidating, especially since it looked extremely detached, except when it was screaming its war cry "Ora!Ora!". It responded to the name Star Platinum.

It was what had given Jotaro the reputation of being a very cold man, however unjustified it were. It actually helped him a lot since he was the main coordinator of the Speedwagon Foundation's actions regarding Stand Users. When dealing with underlings, being able to instigate respect without actually doing anything was always a good thing. Unfortunately, it didn't exactly help when it came to his family. His grandfather and his mother were used to him being aloof and knew he hid how much he exactly cared. It was his wife and daughter that caused him problems.

His wife had known he cared despite not showing it. She even knew and understood why he had distanced himself from her, even though she didn't like it. It had taken almost all of Jotaro's will to distance himself from her and even more to convince her that she should find a man who could love her without endangering her. This event could have pretended to be the worst part of Jotaro's life save for one factor. Said factor was none other than Jolyne Kujo, Jotaro's daughter.

Jolyne, contrary to her mother, had taken Jotaro's avoidance rather hard. He had thought that she shouldn't know that she was in danger and his – now – former wife agreed with him. Unfortunately, it had led to Jolyne actually first feeling abandoned, then despising and finally outright hating her father. That had clearly broken Jotaro's heart. And the worst part was that he couldn't even let it out if he wanted to protect Jolyne efficiently. He had thus kept his sadness to himself and now was used to hide behind his emotionless mask.

For all the good it had done.

Despite Jotaro's foresight, Jolyne had been framed for murder and sent into a woman's prison, Green Dolphin Street, Florida, where she obviously was a better target for the people who wanted him. She had involuntarily acted as bait for Jotaro and he had had no other choice but to come and rescue her. He had nearly broken in tears when she told him that she never wanted to see him again but that hadn't stopped him from giving his soul and Stand in exchange for her safety. Even though that was what Enrico Pucci has aimed at all along. The only good thing that had come out of it was that Jolyne thus learnt why her father had been so distant and was now respecting him for it, going as far as wearing the same clothes Jotaro wore and even going after Dio Brando's legacy.

For all the good it had done.

While Jotaro's body had been put in suspended animation and his soul had been thoroughly perused by Enrico Pucci, Jolyne had had to fight for her life and the life of her new friends several times while trying to unravel Pucci's plan. Even worse, it had all been for naught. She had been an integral part in helping Pucci's plan to come to fruition. She might have learnt a lot about life and about herself while trying to get her father's soul back, it had been irrelevant in stopping Pucci. The worst part about that was that it could have been resolved easily. Jotaro could have contacted one or several of his fellow Stand Users and it would have been a piece of cake. Some of them were easily more dangerous than he was so it would have worked. But no, he had not talked about it to anyone. He was always ashamed about how he treated his daughter and the fact that she hated him, so he had made the rescue a secret operation of the Speedwagon Foundation.

That had been his worst mistake.

Since it had been a secret operation, the submarine's crew hadn't talked about the rescue mission to anyone, including Joseph Joestar, who would have done something if he had known. When Jolyne had brought back her father's body and told them that she was going to hunt for his soul, they had no other real choice but to trust her. Given that it was a secret operation they couldn't call for help unless Jotaro was dead and since he wasn't they had decided to trust Jolyne to bring back Jotaro's Soul Disk and Stand Disk and in a way this trust had been justified since Jolyne had managed to get both disks back and bring them to her father's body.

For all the good it had done.

Meanwhile, Pucci had managed to complete his Requiem Stand, C-Moon, which altered gravity in a three kilometre wide sphere. Seeing that Jolyne had decided to fight the monster head-on, Jotaro had had little choice but to send a message for help to the rest of the Speedwagon Foundation and the other Stand Users before going after his daughter at Cap Canaveral. It had seemed for a while that Jolyne and her comrades would manage to defeat Pucci, especially when Jotaro finally joined them.

But the respite had been too short.

While hijacking a display space shuttle (Jotaro suspected that he had used C-Moon's power to make it fly) Pucci had managed, through a process no one, save perhaps Jolyne and Emporio, even knew, to make his own Requiem Stand evolve into what would have been Dio Brando's Requiem Stand, Made In Heaven. This new Stand, looking like a centaur missing its front legs with clocks on his hands, had been their downfall.

What people knew about Jotaro's Stand, Star Platinum, was that its power was to stop time for everything but its user for a handful of seconds, five at its maximum, a precious time which enabled Jotaro to avoid just about every small area effect from whatever attack he was subjected to. That was a common misconception Jotaro had made no effort to correct, as it worked quite well in his favour. Only Polnareff and Joseph ever knew Star Platinum's ability for what it really was. It didn't stop time, not really. It slowed its flow for everything but Jotaro to such levels that it allowed Jotaro to comparatively achieve a speed beyond the speed of light for five of his perception of seconds. It wasn't that much different from stopping time, really, since everything seemed to freeze for Jotaro when he used the misnamed Time Stop. He still didn't know how he could still interact with the world or even perceive it since the laws of relativity should have prevented such a thing but he was grateful for that. And after all, given that he became faster than light itself, he was beyond the laws of relativity.

Unfortunately, this small difference was all that was needed for Made In Heaven to exploit.

Made In Heaven had the terrible power of being able to accelerate gradually the flow of time for everything in the universe save living beings, excluding Pucci himself. At the beginning of the effect of this power, people would for example nearly die in an elevator when it went down at a way too high speed. Or they would freeze on the spot when they entered a cold storage area. However, as the time accelerating effect picked up, people started to die all over the world.

Jotaro realised too late that Pucci was too fast for him to follow even during Star Platinum's Time Stop.

And the worst had yet to come.

Made In Heaven also had C-Moon's power, which was the alteration of gravity. However, unlike C-Moon, it didn't have a limited radius. It was currently affecting the whole universe, starting with the farthest parts. Some galaxies were now clearly visible, which meant that the universe was collapsing. That wasn't even the worst of it. The time acceleration didn't seem to have a limit either and was steadfastly picking up. A collapsing phenomenon that should have taken billions of years to occur was happening in what felt like minutes to Jotaro. It wasn't the only viewable effect of the time acceleration. Buildings were decaying at an alarming pace. Continents were drifting so fast that the naked eye could see it. The sun and the moon were visible at all time but never distinguishable, since they just left a bright trail in the sky. The only reason Jotaro, Jolyne and their friends Emporio Alnino, Hermes Costello and Narciso Anasui hadn't been ejected from earth due to its rotation was the alteration of gravity. Jotaro was starting to feel the conflicting effects of both forces and was wondering how long their bodies would last.

Sadly, he needn't have worried.

In one movement, Made In Heaven managed to punch through Anasui's Stand, Diver Down, with Jolyne's own Stand, Stone Free. Jotaro had then stopped time and tried to reach him to finally dispose of him but Pucci had anticipated this and had sent a rain of knives at Jolyne. Jotaro had to choose between saving his daughter and killing Pucci. He chose his daughter without hesitation. That was his downfall. Pucci had the time to get away from him and as soon as the Time Stop ended, he cut Hermes's arms and cleaved Jotaro's head in two. Jotaro lost control of his body, although his Stand remained. Before he fell down, Jotaro noticed the drowned form of his daughter with a knife in her belly.

Jotaro hit a pit of despair at that moment. He hadn't managed to save his daughter. She had been hurt by Pucci and was about to get killed by him. And the rest of the world was likely to follow. And it was mostly his fault. He could have averted most of it if he hadn't been so unwilling to rely on others. One would think he would have learnt his lesson against Dio Brando and Yoshikage Kira but he actually only relied on people when he had no other choice. And he hadn't had the time to do so this time. He watched helplessly as Emporio futilely threatened Pucci with a gun before Jolyne's Stand grabbed him and took the both of them away with a dolphin's help. He couldn't help them, neither could Hermes and Anasui. Their Stands were all close-ranged ones and Jolyne and Emporio were too far. Pucci too for that matter. Jotaro saw Pucci begin the chase before his body couldn't support itself and he fell face down in the water.

His Stand, however, allowed him to see the end of all that is. He managed to notice that Saturn and Jupiter had just collided into one another. They were roughly the same size as the Moon to his eyes now. The Moon itself was invading the sky while the Sun, though nothing more than a trail in the sky, was vaporizing the atmosphere. The noise of this cataclysm was deafening.

'Astronomers would kill to observe something like this, if they could survive it that is,' thought Jotaro grimly.

Just then, the Moon crashed into the ocean, starting a kilometres-high tidal wave. The sky was filled with fire due to the Sun's closeness. With the help of Star Platinum, Jotaro noticed Giorno Giovana, the only one of Dio's sons who was still alive and the only one who ever befriended the Joestars. Giorno looked worse for wear, covered with cuts and with an arm missing. Just when the remains of a space shuttle were about to crash into him, Star Platinum's Time Stop activated by itself.

Everything seemed suspended and silenced, even Pucci, who was so sure of his eventual victory that he had synced himself with the rest of the remaining living beings and was now taunting Jolyne's corpse while going after Emporio.

The sound of a voice across the silence seemed deafening.

"You seem at the end of your time," stated Gold Experience Requiem.

Giorno Stand stood in front of Jotaro, which was strange since Gold Experience Requiem was a close-ranged Stand and Giorno was about two hundred metres away.

"But appearances can be deceiving," it finished. It then looked towards Jolyne. Jotaro noticed that the limit of the Time Stop had been breached. It wasn't Star Platinum's doing. Jotaro turned towards it and noticed that his Stand was frozen. It itself was under the Time Stop. Jotaro then noticed that he could move. Knowing that it shouldn't be so, given the state of his body, he turned around again and saw his own still and cut body in the water. His soul had gone out of it.

"I am appearing like that to every soul I have touched, which includes your daughter. Unfortunately, Miss Costello, Mister Anasui and Mister Alnino weren't touched by me. So I can't help them," it added before fixing its gaze on Jotaro.

"You, however, as well as your daughter, I can help," it said to a flabbergasted Jotaro.

Jotaro's mind was now working at a furious pace. This wasn't the end! He could still save his daughter. Giorno had often said that he himself couldn't fathom precisely his Stand's powers. There apparently was another one.

"I cannot tell my user about what is going to occur. I hope he finds out by himself," continued Gold Experience Requiem. "I'll be able to preserve his body. Yours, I cannot. But I can preserve your souls and send them into other bodies, much like Silver Chariot Requiem did."

Jotaro, thinking extremely fast about it, found the logical flaw about this reasoning. However, before he could find a way to point it out, Giorno's Stand interrupted him.

"Of course, you were going to ask what the use is when the world is collapsing," said the robot-like entity. "Well, you'll have to think broader." It paused before resuming.

"Remember Hayato Kawajiri's power," it just said. And everything became clear for Jotaro.

Hayato Kawajiri wasn't a Stand User when he befriended Jotaro and his friends in Morioh in 1999. He had however been implied in the murders perpetrated by Yoshikage Kira, being the one to defeat the serial killer's Requiem Stand, the evolution of his Stand Killer Queen named Another One Bites The Dust. Since this affair, Hayato had been able to see Stands and Jotaro had agreed to pierce him with the Arrow.

Stands were entities invisible to those who didn't have one gifted with sometimes powerful or downright strange abilities whose origin was still a mystery. Apparently, a minority of people were Stand Users at birth. Their Stands could reveal themselves under several circumstances. It could appear naturally like it did for Jotaro and his family but that was rare. The exposure to other Stand Users could trigger or accelerate the appearance of a Stand in some people. Lastly, the Arrows, made from a meteor that crashed in Greenland, could instantly awaken or even create a Stand in people with enough spiritual strength in the person was cut by it. The downside of the Arrow was that if the person wasn't strong enough spiritually the Arrow would kill her. However, the Arrow preferably targeted people who would be Stand Users.

Since Hayato could see Stands, he was a Stand User to be. Jotaro had thus had no objections to submitting him to the Arrow. And thus The Doors came into the world.

This blue-skinned red-haired Stand wore a silver tuxedo with golden spherical door handles instead of buttons. It had keyholes instead of ears, its eyes were as black as dark holes and seemed to absorb light and both of his medium fingers were shaped like keys. It was reasonably strong and fast and was a close ranged Stand. Its power however was one of the strangest ever seen.

The Doors was able to open holes in space which were shaped like doors with the use of its medium fingers. It could open up to two doors at the same time, one with each key, and thus enabled Hayato to travel through space and even take people with him. The doors could open wherever he wanted, no matter the distance. The Doors could thus create space anomalies like making people see all sides of the same item at the same time. However, the doors opened with two keys were the strangest by far.

Since the Stand used both keys, only one could be opened at one time and none of the normal doors could be opened at the same time. However, these special doors led to other realities. Not much was known about those realities. Hayato, Rohan Kishibe, Koichi Hirose and his wife Yukako Yamagishi-Hirose had travelled into some of them but very few things were actually known about them. The Speedwagon Foundation had theorised that there was an infinity of them. They hadn't had the time to check this theory but there were obviously too much of them to count, even if only a minority of them was suitable for human life.

What Giorno's Stand was planing to do was to steal bodies in another reality to put the souls of Stand Users Giorno had had contact with.

"While I like the idea of surviving this Armageddon," stated Jotaro carefully, "I don't like the idea of stealing someone's body very much. But I suppose beggars can't be choosers."

"I can't put a soul in a body where there's already one," replied Gold Experience Requiem. "Giorno knows this, he tested fail-safes against the death of his friends and was recently trying to devise a way to preserve soulless bodies. I will send all of you into a bodies in good state that have just been vacated by their souls."

"That makes me feel better," said Jotaro with a calm look. "Although... A body in good state that has just been vacated by its soul can't be easy to find. How rare is that?"

"Given the fact that the body must remain functioning I would say one human in two thousand realities, counting only the realities that actually harbour human life."

Jotaro gritted his teeth. Hayato was receiving this message and could find them all but it could take him years. They might all be dead before he found even one of them.

"It might effectively take a long time for you to find your friends and your daughter again if you have to rely on Hayato Kawajiri alone," added the Requiem Stand uselessly. It then paused, looking at Jotaro's frown, before adding: "However, nothing prevents you from finding ways to cross dimensions by yourself."

That actually shocked Jotaro. He hadn't thought that anything but The Doors could cross realities. But then again, he hadn't thought that Giorno's Stand could either.

"Should you manage that, I advise that you try to focus on finding my user first. He doesn't know that any of you survived and I cannot speak to him. Given that he will have the same body and given his exuberance you should find him more easily than the others. Since he can sense life, he could help you find the others if you find him," counselled Gold Experience Requiem.

The Stand then grabbed Jotaro's hand, at least his soul's, and Jotaro felt a strange sense of displacement. It then went back leisurely towards Giorno. Jotaro watched it before asking the question that was on his mind.

"Will I keep my Stand?" he asked.

"Yes," answered Gold Experience Requiem. "The Stand is linked with the soul and I cannot sever the link. Only Pucci could. Farewell, Jotaro Kujo."

With that, time resumed and Jotaro saw Giorno, or at least what remained of him, being dragged through what Jotaro thought to be a wormhole. Then the tsunami swallowed his body and the water vaporized as the sun swallowed the earth. Then the galaxies all collided with one another and the stars swallowed each other before being crushed by the intense gravity. Jotaro noticed his daughter's soul among the wreckage.

"JOLYNE!" he shouted helplessly.

The soul heard his and eyed him with wide eyes. It then smiled.

"You didn't tell me that uncle Giorno was a Stand User," it said before adding softly: "Dad, thank you. Thank you for everything. I'm sorry I didn't notice earlier how much you did for me." It then did a salute with two fingers that would have reminded Iggy the dog of Polnareff's farewell. "See you later, Dad."

"JOLYNE!" shouted Jotaro helplessly. "I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you."

"You did what you thought was best," replied the soul. "I can't begrudge you that."

It then looked at what was happening with wide eyes. Jotaro did the same.

In the midst of this inferno of elemental particles, Jotaro's soul witnessed the big crunch the universe was currently undergoing. Then it felt swallowed and dissolved as if it were going through a black hole before reorganizing itself. The last thing he saw from his world was his daughter's soul being dragged in a singularity like his. The next thing Jotaro saw was the earth coming at high speed. He soon came close to its surface and witnessed a very strange sight before taking possession of his new body.

The red-haired pigtailed busty girl in Chinese clothes fled across the street and the sign-wielding biped panda followed her.

Stand Stats:

A: Very Good / B: Good / C: Average / D: Bad / E: Poor

Star Platinum

Strength: A / Speed: A / Range: C / Staying: C (Previously A) / Precision: A / Learning: C (Previously Complete)

Ability: Can move with amazing precision and destroy things with tremendous power. Range is only about two metres but it can move at unbelievable speeds, additionally it has the ability to stop time for five seconds. It seems odd to say that time stops for five seconds when it is at a standstill but this is roughly how the user perceives it.

Made In Heaven (A.K.A Stairway To Heaven)

Strength: B / Speed: Infinite / Range: C / Staying: A / Precision: C / Learning: B

Ability: Physics have proven that there is a special relation between 'Gravity' and 'Time'. For example, the stronger the gravitational power, the slower time moves. It is difficult to explain but basically Made In Heaven uses the gravitational power of the whole universe to speed up time. No living organism is able to keep up, so they don't speed up with the rest of the universe. The only one who can is Pucci and maybe God himself.

Gold Experience Requiem

Strength: None / Speed: None / Range: None / Staying: None / Precision: None / Learning: None

Ability: After Gold Experience was pierced by the Arrow, it can nullify an opponent's action, making the action repeat itself. Time is then looping, preventing completion, Even in death. The user is not directly aware of this ability.

AN: It makes Giorno essentially unkillable. Since Gold Experience Requiem has also power over all living beings, I gave it power over souls. It just stems from the fact that I wanted it to be the ultimate Stand instead of Made In Heaven.

Stone Free

Strength: A to E / Speed: B / Range: C to A / Staying: A to D / Precision: C / Learning: A

Ability: Forms a body by gathering strings together. Short range when normal but when it unravels, its range becomes exceptional as its power and staying decrease. Can hear sounds from far away like a telephone line. Can unravel the body of its user, sew it to close wounds and even make Moebius strips out of it so as to nullify gravitational effects.

The Doors

Strength: B / Speed: B / Range: C / Staying: A / Precision: C / Learning: A

Ability: Can open doors through space with its middle fingers. Can thus open up to two doors in one universe and create spacial anomalies. With its two fingers, can open up to one door to another universe. Can also awaken Doorspaces on Stand Users.

AN: I actually had the idea for this Stand before I learnt of DDDDC, Funny Valentine's Stand. They have similar abilities.
