Dio Brando was not happy.
He had finally achieved his dreams of attaining Heaven, gaining ultimate power and destroying the Joestars, but where was he right now?
At the mercy of one of his most hated enemies, and no way to even fight. His hands were a bloody mess. They would heal, but not fast enough.
"Looks like your ability activates whenever your fist hits something. You won't be overwriting realities until that arm heals."
Standing above him, was a muscular teenager. He wore a modified black school uniform with a gold chain on the collar. His cap was torn at the back, with his hair seemingly merging with it. On his face was a scowl of disgust as he looked down at Dio.
Jotaro Kujo.
"How many seconds will it take to heal? Once it does, I'm smashing Star Platinum right into you! Come on!"
Materializing behind Jotaro was a muscular purple man with wild hair. His stand had appeared, ready to end Heaven Ascension DIO once and for all.
And answer Jotaro's challenge Dio did. With a shout (MUDAAA!) he flung the blood on his arms right at Jotaro's face, into his eyes. "How's that?! I've blinded you!"The World Over Heavenwas summoned to Dio's side. It flew towards Jotaro with a kick. "I've won! Now DI-"
"ORA!"
Star Platinum showed no mercy as he drove his fist into Dio's face, dodging the kick from The World Over Heaven.
"You're a joke, Dio." Jotaro pulled his cap down. "And your reality..." He opened his eyes. "It's all just a fantasy."
And with Dio's arms healed, Jotaro kept his promise.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA! ORAAAAA!"
With a final punch, Star Platinum sent Dio flying. Dio roared in anger and pain as his face cracked in half, and the sheer power of Star Platinum caved in his features. His body landed on the ground, hard.
Dio Brando, was truly dead.
"Don't make me repeat myself... you pissed me off."
Dio's body released all the souls head had absorbed, and the Holy Corpse resonated from Jotaro. They all joined up in a huge burst of light that blinded him. But he simply put his hands in his pockets.
"Yare Yare Daze..."
He could hear what sounded like church bells ringing, as the Universe began to reset itself once again. He closed his eyes, not sure of what would happen now, but a world without Dio, would be one less headache.
Jotaro opened his eyes to the sounds of birds chirping. He groaned, before he stood up. He raised an eyebrow, looking around.
He appeared to be on a country road, with trees all over the sides.
Where am I now? Did the Holy Corpse guide me here, or did something else happen?
Jotaro shook the thoughts out of his mind and started to walk down the path. Staying in one spot certainly wouldn't get him any answers.
I feel Star Platinum's power... I can't use the Reality Overwrite anymore, but the Time Stop...
Jotaro was brought out of his internal thoughts at the sound of screaming. He could also hear the sound of axes clanging against something hard, as well as the snapping of wood. Presumably arrows. Wordlessly, he switched the pace from walking into a run. Looking through an opening in the trees, his eyes widened.
What he saw appeared to be a huge demon or monster. It looked like some sort of dragon or dinosaur, but it also had bug-like features. It attempted to attack a carriage with the two men driving it cowering in fear. Fighting the dragon were two young people. A teenage boy with spiky black hair was swinging an axe at the beast, knocking away it's claws. From the back, a girl with long black hair was firing arrows at the monster. Most of the time the arrows snapped upon impact, but occasionally they'd find an exposed spot. All it seemed to do was annoy the beast.
"Stupid Earth Dragon! Take this!" The black haired boy yelled as he swung his axe downward into the Earth Dragon's stomach.
Jotaro grit his teeth and ran from his hiding spot towards them. That idiot. He thought. Because he struck the soft stomach...
"W-what?" The boy said in panic. "My axe is stuck!" He looked up only to see that the Earth Dragon raised a claw and swatted him sideways.
"Ieyasu!" The girl yelled.
Ieyasu spat up blood as he was sent flying. He was sure he'd hit a tree and die upon impact, he closed his eyes, awaiting his dea-
"Star Platinum!"
(JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OST - Il vento d'oro)
Suddenly, Ieyasu was stopped. He opened his eyes in shock. He was no longer mid-movement. Instead, he was in the arms of some purple muscular man. The strange spirit set him down as Jotaro ran up.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Y-yeah... but what-?"
"No time right now."
Jotaro turned to the Earth Dragon which roared and pounced towards him.
"Give me a freaking break." He said, lowering his cap. He pointed at the beast as Star Platinum materialized behind him.
The Earth Dragon roared at its new target and dashed forward. Jotaro quickly turned to Ieyasu.
"Oy, kid. Go to your friend and stay out of its range." He looked back at the monster. "I gonna send this bastard to hell."
Ieyasu nodded, before he ran back and around towards the carriage.
The Earth dragon raised its claws and brought them down on Jotaro. Star Platinum rose its arms and caught the attack. The shockwave shook the ground, but thankfully it wasn't strong enough to knock over much.
Damn, this thing is strong. Jotaro thought. Striking the chest is a no-go, as it'll have as much of an effect as that axe. I'm pretty sure that Star Platinum can break that armored head, but it won't stay in place for that. I gotta immobilize it somehow.
Jotaro jumped back and recalled his stand. The Earth Dragon's claws smashed into the ground. This gave Jotaro an idea. He ripped up rocks from the path and threw them at the dragon. They didn't do any real damage, but got the dragon to chase him. Using Star Platinum, Jotaro launched himself upwards by transferring the stand's kinetic energy. He landed on the other side of the beast and threw more rocks. The Earth Dragon roared and chased him, pounding its firsts into the ground. Jotaro would always stay just out of range, or dodge when the moment was right. Eventually, they had circled the whole area. With a fearsome roar, the Earth Dragon stomped towards Jotaro...
...and sunk right into the ground.
"Humph. It appears that this thing is as dumb as it looks."
The Earth Dragon roared and tried to crawl out, but only fell back in.
"It didn't notice that as it was stomping and hitting the ground, it was weakening the place where he could stand. After all that punishment, it's no wonder that the ground gave away." Jotaro sighed as he pulled down his cap. "Good grief. To think you worried me for a second."
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"
Star Platinum threw several punches, which cracked the tough exoskeleton.
"Looks like I was right. Star Platinum can break through your tough skin. But I'm not taking any chances. Star Platinum: THE WORLD!"
The Earth Dragon stopped moving. So did everyone else. The birds overhead in the sky were frozen. The only one that could move was Jotaro, who simply had Star Platinum move forward. The stand reared its fists back.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA-"
One second has passed.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA-"
Two seconds have passed.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA-"
"Three seconds have passed. And time has begun to flow again."
"ORAAAA!"
With one final strike, the Earth Beast exploded from all the punches. All that was left of it were shattered body parts and blood. Ieyasu's eyes were wide again, this time in awe. His friend as well as the men on the carriage shared the same thoughts.
So, it looks like three seconds is all I'm capable of. It's not much, but...
"What... was that?"
Jotaro was brought out of his thoughts and turned to the girl, eyes narrowed. Unlike most people, she didn't flinch from his glare.
"Who was... what was that thing?" She asked. "What was that purple man that saved Ieyasu?"
Now this was a concern. And from Ieyasu's reaction earlier, it was clear that he also saw Star Platinum. Are they enemy stand-users? Jotaro thought.
The two men on the carriage looked confused. "We didn't see anything." One of them said. "Your friend just stopped mid-air from what looked like nothing."
Jotaro sighed, before pulling down his cap. "You know... can you people give me an explanation?"
"So, that's the situation, huh?"
Jotaro was sitting in the back of the carriage, which was making its way towards the capital. As thanks for saving them, the two men offered them a ride. He learned that the two teens names were Ieyasu (which he heard) and Sayo. Their predicament was pretty bad, from what they told him. They came from a fairly poor village, so they decided to go to the capital to make some money for their village. They set off with another friend, but as they continued on...
"Yeah. We got separated from our friend when bandits attacked, but we know Tatsumi's gonna make his way to the capital. We plan to see if we can meet up with him there." Ieyasu said.
Jotaro breathed out and laid down on his back, hands behind his head. From what they told him, he's no longer in his world. He remembered a few people he met, Johnny Joestar and Funny Valentine, about how there were different universes. It appears that after he defeated Heaven Ascension DIO, the world must have reset, but either he was sent to an alternate universe, or this was the new world.
Oh well, no point in crying about it. What was done is done.
"But..." Sayo asked, her voice low so the carriage drivers couldn't hear. "What was that thing that helped you?"
Ieyasu stared at Jotaro too, as if expecting an answer.
Jotaro studied them with his eyes. He was still concerned that the two of them were able to see Star Platinum, but the carriage drivers didn't see it. But for some strange reason, perhaps his gut feeling, he could tell that the two weren't stand-users. He might as well try to build a relationship with people that know this world. It might help him in the long run.
"Oh, that? That was just my Stand, star Platinum."
Ieyasu and Sayo gave him confused looks. Jotaro sighed, as he started to continue.
"Stands are a physical manifestation of fighting spirit. Only a few people are strong enough to use them, because if the person's spirit is too weak, they'll die. But if they're strong enough, a stand is a valuable fighting partner." He explained. "The only drawback is, that any damage the stand takes is reflected onto the stand-user. Now, some stands break this mold, but most of them are set by the same restrictions."
Sayo put a hand on her chin in thought, but Ieyasu's eyes were shining in awe. "That's so cool! How do I get one?"
"You don't." Ieyasu's eyes stopped shining as Jotaro pointed at him. "Stands are passed down through bloodlines, so if you don't have one, tough luck. Besides, with a weak ass spirit like yours, I doubt you could control it." Ieyasu fell over as Sayo giggled slightly.
Might as well keep quiet about the stand arrows. I don't even know if they're on this world either.
"But, we never got your name." Sayo said. "What is it?"
"...Kujo. Jotaro Kujo. Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna get some sleep. Wake me up when we get there."
He pulled his cap down and turned away from them. Sayo and Ieyasu were silent for a while, before one of them spoke up.
"Do you think we can trust him?" Sayo asked Ieyasu.
"He saved our butts from the Earth Dragon." Ieyasu said. "I think that speaks for itself."
"Yeah. I just wanted to know what you thought." She looked at Jotaro again. I'm glad that someone like him is not our enemy.
"Besides, with him helping us, we'll make enough money to help our village in no time!" Ieyasu said, excited.
"How? By threatening people?"
"No! Of course not! By...uh..."
"You just said that on a whim, didn't you?"
"...no."
"You're such a dork." Sayo said, playfully slapping him on his shoulder.
"Oh come on!" He protested.
"Shut up, I can't fucking sleep."
"Shutting up now!" They both said, almost immediately. They couldn't see it, but Jotaro smirked.
TO BE CONTINUED.
A/N: Hey guys, EpicLinkSam here.
So, I haven't uploaded anything here since last year, no updates either. Thing is, I was busy on Deviantart, making my Death Battles. Plus, the loss of my YouTube account kinda bummed me out as well, so I haven't been making a lot of content as I used to.
So my fanfic account kinda went dead as a result.
Now, this doesn't mean I'm coming back right away. I'm nearing the end of my school year, so there's a lot more work to be done. But this story is one I'll try not to drop.
Nothing but the Truth is gonna be on hold, as it's more of a filler story that I work on when I'm bored.
Here are also some stories I have planned;
-RWBY x JoJo Vento Aureo x Persona
-Ben 10 x Highschool DxD
-That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime x Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS
-The Quintessential Quintuplets x Citrus x Aho Girl
More detail can be found on my Deviantart. Once again, sorry that I've been uploading less here.
Till next time.
