Expiry: Never

  1. 1.
    >You're Angel Rammstein.
  2. 2.
    >And you're having fun at Gioia's house.
  3. 3.
    >Your big brother brought you here.
  4. 4.
    >And he's in the kitchen with Jojo's and Gioia's daddies.
  5. 5.
    >Jojo's daddy is a police officer, and Gioia's daddy is a businessman.
  6. 6.
    >And Gioia lives in a rich person's house.
  7. 7.
    >She's showing off this trick where she tosses a ball, and it spins so fast that it goes around the room, and comes right back to her!
  8. 8.
    >It's so cool!
  9. 9.
    "Hey, Gioia, how did you do that?"
  10. 10.
    >She looks at you, and smiles.
  11. 11.
    >>"Daddy taught me how to do it! He calls it 'the spin game!' And I'm really good at it because my Stand, [BIG BALLS], is helping me."
  12. 12.
    >"What?! No fair, Gioia! My punchy ghost doesn't help me throw balls!"
  13. 13.
    "Can you show us, Gioia?"
  14. 14.
    >She looks unsure, before turning to the kitchen.
  15. 15.
    >>"Daddy, can I teach my friends how to play the spin game?"
  16. 16.
    >You see Gioia's daddy look over from the kitchen.
  17. 17.
    >"Of course, sweetie. But do it outside, I don't want you breaking anything."
  18. 18.
    >Yay!
  19. 19.
    >You and JoJo follow Gioia!
  20. 20.
    >This is gonna be fun!
  21. 21.
     
  22. 22.
    >You and your friends go to the backyard.
  23. 23.
    >Gioia's backyard is a not steep hill leading down to a treeline.
  24. 24.
    >She has a whole forest in her backyard!
  25. 25.
    >It's Jojo's turn to learn the spin game right now.
  26. 26.
    >She's trying so hard, but it's not working for her.
  27. 27.
    >She doesn't look happy.
  28. 28.
    >>"No, JoJo. You gotta use your whole arm to spin it."
  29. 29.
    >Gioia gives Jojo a ball, and takes another one for herself.
  30. 30.
    >>"Like me. Watch."
  31. 31.
    >Gioia throws the ball, and it spins through the air!
  32. 32.
    >It bounces off a tree, and comes right back to her hand.
  33. 33.
    >>"Now you."
  34. 34.
    >Jojo winds up, and throws the ball.
  35. 35.
    >It...kinda spins, staying in the air, before falling to the ground.
  36. 36.
    >Jojo looks angry, obviously upset she didn't hit anything.
  37. 37.
    >"This is a stupid game! I don't wanna play anymore!"
  38. 38.
    "But Jojo, you managed to spin it!"
  39. 39.
    >"I don't care! I can do just fine with ripple!"
  40. 40.
    >Ripple?
  41. 41.
    "What's that, JoJo?"
  42. 42.
    >She hmphs.
  43. 43.
    >"Daddy wanted me to learn karate, so he hired someone from the Speedwagon flounder nation to teach me. I know karate called 'Ripple.' It kinda does what the Spin game does, except better."
  44. 44.
    "Can you show us, Jojo?"
  45. 45.
    >She huffs, and looks around.
  46. 46.
    >Finding a pile of leaves, she walks toward it.
  47. 47.
    >She places her hands in the pile, and starts breathing.
  48. 48.
    >Suddenly, the leaves crackle with gold energy, and form into a huge plate!
  49. 49.
    >That's really cool, too!
  50. 50.
     
  51. 51.
    >Gioia looks impressed for a moment, but then she shrugged.
  52. 52.
    >>"That's cool, but Spin is still better."
  53. 53.
    >Jojo looked over at Gioia with a mean look.
  54. 54.
    >"Is not!"
  55. 55.
    >>"Is too!"
  56. 56.
    >The two girls glare at each other, and the game begins.
  57. 57.
    >"Is not!"
  58. 58.
    >>"Is too!"
  59. 59.
    >"Is not!"
  60. 60.
    >>"Is too!"
  61. 61.
    >"Is not!"
  62. 62.
    >>"Is too!"
  63. 63.
    >You wonder what big brother is doing...
  64. 64.
     
  65. 65.
    >"...So that's when I decided that I'm definitely not going back to the Compound."
  66. 66.
    >You're Erich Rammstein again.
  67. 67.
    >And you're discussing your recent misadventure with your two new acquaintances.
  68. 68.
    >You leave out you being a NatSoc.
  69. 69.
    >No sense in them learning about that yet.
  70. 70.
    >"So there's two confirmed Stand Users in that compound outside Canterlot?"
  71. 71.
    >Josuke was an off duty police officer, and Jojo's dad.
  72. 72.
    >He wanted to know about all the Stand users in town.
  73. 73.
    >A precautionary measure, he said.
  74. 74.
    >There was a lot of Stand users in his hometown back in Japan.
  75. 75.
    >You nod, turning to him.
  76. 76.
    "Given how Stands are acquired, and I didn't see any wounds on them, there's two more possible."
  77. 77.
    >He mused to himself, digesting the information.
  78. 78.
    >>"And why did you think it was a good idea to go there, anyway?"
  79. 79.
    >Geno Zeppeli was Gioia's father, and he apparently ran a curio shop.
  80. 80.
    >He apparently saw a way to use balls, in a way that he can fight on par with Stand users.
  81. 81.
    >His Stand allowed him to see other timelines, or something like that.
  82. 82.
    >You give him a shrug.
  83. 83.
    "The girl was cute, I felt lonely, and we were getting along fine. How could I say no?"
  84. 84.
    >He seemed like he bought that, and didn't use his Stand to find out the truth.
  85. 85.
    >You continue your conversation, exchanging notes on who in town is a Stand user.
  86. 86.
    >It's starting to look like there's more than you thought...
  87. 87.
     
  88. 88.
    >Angel Rammstein.
  89. 89.
    >That's you.
  90. 90.
    >And your friends are still arguing.
  91. 91.
    >"Is not times infinity!"
  92. 92.
    >>"Is too times infinity plus infinity!"
  93. 93.
    >This is getting annoying.
  94. 94.
     
  95. 95.
    >You look down, and kick a pebble.
  96. 96.
    >They're being awfully competitive.
  97. 97.
    >You look around Gioia's backyard.
  98. 98.
    >Wow, she has a swing set and a playhouse shaped like a boat.
  99. 99.
    >You're kinda jealous of that.
  100. 100.
    >Hey...
  101. 101.
    >What was that in the wood line?
  102. 102.
    >An animal?
  103. 103.
    "Gioia?"
  104. 104.
    >The argument stops, as Gioia looks over.
  105. 105.
    "Are there any big animals in your woods?"
  106. 106.
    >She looks up, thinking.
  107. 107.
    >>"No, I don't think so. Daddy said the government forced all the big animals out of the neighborhood."
  108. 108.
    "Then what's running around back there?"
  109. 109.
    >Your friends look over to the wood line where you're pointing.
  110. 110.
    "I saw a big shadow running in the trees."
  111. 111.
    >>"There shouldn't be any big animals back there."
  112. 112.
    >"What if it's a neighbor?"
  113. 113.
    >Gioia suddenly stomps her foot.
  114. 114.
    >>"Then they're trespassing! They're not allowed here without Daddy's permission!"
  115. 115.
    >Gioia storms toward the wood line in a huff.
  116. 116.
    >>"They should know better! They're not following the rules!"
  117. 117.
    >You and JoJo look at each other, then back at Gioia.
  118. 118.
    >Then you both take off after her.
  119. 119.
    >"Wait, Gioia, we're coming, too!"
  120. 120.
     
  121. 121.
    >You can barely see Gioia as she charges ahead.
  122. 122.
    >You and JoJo try to keep up.
  123. 123.
    >She disappears behind a bush.
  124. 124.
    >Jojo goes on ahead, and you follow.
  125. 125.
    >When you get past the bush, you only find Jojo looking around, confused.
  126. 126.
    >Gioia seems to have disappeared.
  127. 127.
    "Gioia?"
  128. 128.
    >You and Jojo start calling out to her.
  129. 129.
    >"Gioia?"
  130. 130.
    "Gioia?!"
  131. 131.
    >"Gioia!?"
  132. 132.
    >You can't find her anywhere.
  133. 133.
    "This is bad, Jojo."
  134. 134.
    >Jojo looks over to you.
  135. 135.
    >"We've got to find her!"
  136. 136.
    >You nod.
  137. 137.
    "Stay close to me. We can't run off alone."
  138. 138.
     
  139. 139.
    >You are Gioia Zeppeli.
  140. 140.
    >And you just realized you're lost.
  141. 141.
    >You've never been this far back in the woods before.
  142. 142.
    >You just got really upset when someone started breaking the rules.
  143. 143.
    >But you can't find anyone back here.
  144. 144.
    >Wait, weren't your friends following you?
  145. 145.
    >You look back.
  146. 146.
    >They aren't there.
  147. 147.
    "Jojo? Angel?"
  148. 148.
    >You don't hear a response.
  149. 149.
    "Jojo?! Angel?!"
  150. 150.
    >You call louder, but there's still no response.
  151. 151.
    >Now you're scared.
  152. 152.
    >You've never been on your own before.
  153. 153.
    >Y-you've always had daddy or Jojo with you.
  154. 154.
    >Y-you're not crying.
  155. 155.
    >...
  156. 156.
    >You hope someone finds you soon.
  157. 157.
     
  158. 158.
    >You lean back against a tree.
  159. 159.
    >You hug your knees to your chest.
  160. 160.
    >Why'd you have to be stupid?
  161. 161.
    >Daddy told you not to go too deep in the woods, but you didn't listen.
  162. 162.
    >Now you can only wait for your friends to find you.
  163. 163.
    >You hear leaves rustling some distance away.
  164. 164.
    >You look up, and smile.
  165. 165.
    "Jojo? Angel?"
  166. 166.
    >Out steps a large creature made of branches and leaves.
  167. 167.
    >It looks at you, snarling.
  168. 168.
    >That's not Angel or Jojo.
  169. 169.
    >Being alone, that's something you're afraid of.
  170. 170.
    >But this thing?
  171. 171.
    >It doesn't scare you one bit.
  172. 172.
    >Daddy said if you're in trouble, and someone wants to hurt you, play the spin game at them, and they'll think twice!
  173. 173.
    >And you just happen to have some of the balls you were using earlier.
  174. 174.
    "I'm not afraid of you!"
  175. 175.
    >You put on your mean face, and get ready to throw a ball.
  176. 176.
    >[BIG BALLS] is telling you where your throw will go.
  177. 177.
    >The creature steps closer, and you line up the throw.
  178. 178.
    "You aren't gonna scare me, so shut up!"
  179. 179.
    >The creature leaps at you.
  180. 180.
    >You toss a ball, and nail it in the chin.
  181. 181.
    >It yelps like a hurt doggy, and falls to the ground.
  182. 182.
    >The ball flies back at you, as the stick doggy gets up.
  183. 183.
    "There's more where that came from, so just go away!"
  184. 184.
    >The stick doggy narrows its eyes at you, before it tries advancing again.
  185. 185.
    >You feel like you know what it's gonna try to do.
  186. 186.
    >You line up another throw, and chuck the ball.
  187. 187.
    >It spins in a way as to come at the doggy from the side.
  188. 188.
    >The doggy jumps out of the way, and looks like it grins.
  189. 189.
    >You grin back.
  190. 190.
    >Stupid dog.
  191. 191.
    >The ball returns, hitting the stick dog in it's hiney.
  192. 192.
    >You immediately throw your next ball, putting more spin into it.
  193. 193.
    >The ball hits the doggy on the forehead, and begins to spin it's head around like a drill.
  194. 194.
    >Confused, the doggy stumbles around, until your balls begin to spin back to you.
  195. 195.
    >It collapses, looking really dizzy after it's head stopped spinning.
  196. 196.
    "I told you to go away! But you had to be a bad dog!"
  197. 197.
     
  198. 198.
    >The doggy gets its focus back, and looks at you.
  199. 199.
    >It's still snarling, but it's acting like it's scared, now.
  200. 200.
    >You start walking towards it.
  201. 201.
    >With a yip, it gets up to it's feet, and starts running away.
  202. 202.
    >You call after it.
  203. 203.
    "You should've done that before, stupid!"
  204. 204.
    >"GIOIA?!"
  205. 205.
    >That sounded like Jojo!
  206. 206.
    >You turn, and call after her.
  207. 207.
    "Jojo?!"
  208. 208.
    >"Gioia?!"
  209. 209.
    >>"We're over here!"
  210. 210.
    "Angel! Jojo! I'm over here! Come get me!"
  211. 211.
    >After a short moment, Jojo and Angel appear.
  212. 212.
    >Their faces light up as soon as they see you.
  213. 213.
    >"Gioia!"
  214. 214.
    >>"Gioia!"
  215. 215.
    >They rush over, and you share a big group hug.
  216. 216.
    "I wasn't scared at all while you were gone! I didn't miss you guys at all!"
  217. 217.
    >You aren't tearing up.
  218. 218.
    >"And we didn't miss you, either."
  219. 219.
     
  220. 220.
    >You're Jojo.
  221. 221.
    >And you're so happy to be reunited with your friend.
  222. 222.
    >You won't say that to her, though.
  223. 223.
    >The hug soon breaks, and you look at each other.
  224. 224.
    "We should get back to your house, Gioia."
  225. 225.
    >She nods in agreement, along with Angel.
  226. 226.
    >"Which way do we go?"
  227. 227.
    >>"Huh? we thought you knew!"
  228. 228.
    >"I've never been this far back in the woods before!"
  229. 229.
    >Oh crud.
  230. 230.
    "Are...are we all lost?"
  231. 231.
    >There's the sound of a dog howling.
  232. 232.
    >And there's footsteps getting closer.
  233. 233.
    >Gioia turns to the sound, grabbing the balls in her pocket.
  234. 234.
    >"Oh, you're back for more?! I'll whip your butt, doggy!"
  235. 235.
    >You look over to see a dog made of sticks padding towards you.
  236. 236.
    "There's just one. We can-"
  237. 237.
    >Another one appears.
  238. 238.
    >Then another.
  239. 239.
    >Then another.
  240. 240.
    >Then another, and another, and another.
  241. 241.
    >"O-oh, it looks like the stick doggy has friends."
  242. 242.
    >This is just GREAT.
  243. 243.
     
  244. 244.
    >You've heard of these.
  245. 245.
    >Some boys were talking about them at recess the other day.
  246. 246.
    >Apparently there's this old story of an evil wizard who lived in the forest near Canterlot.
  247. 247.
    >He made magic plants that moved on their own.
  248. 248.
    >Some of them turned into animals, and would attack people.
  249. 249.
    >The wizard was long gone, but his creations remained.
  250. 250.
    >Timber wolves lived in the forest, and would eat little children who got lost.
  251. 251.
    >You thought it was just a tale the adults told to prevent children from running away.
  252. 252.
    >But here they are.
  253. 253.
    >...
  254. 254.
    >>"[ROCK YOU]!"
  255. 255.
    >"Ayiyiyiyiyiyi!"
  256. 256.
    >Angel's Stand started beating on a timber wolf who got too close.
  257. 257.
    >She looks determined not to get eaten.
  258. 258.
    >Well, you're not getting eaten, either.
  259. 259.
    >Another timber wolf charges in.
  260. 260.
    >You take a deep breath.
  261. 261.
    "Hamon overdrive!"
  262. 262.
    >You nail the timber wolf on the nose, sending it flying back.
  263. 263.
    >But as it falls, another one leaps at you.
  264. 264.
    >Only to be struck by one of Gioia's balls.
  265. 265.
    >You look back, and nod.
  266. 266.
    "Thanks, Gioia!"
  267. 267.
    >She chucks another ball, as Angel slams her Stand into another timber wolf.
  268. 268.
    >"Keep fighting, stupid! You can thank me when we get home!"
  269. 269.
    >You're not stupid.
  270. 270.
    >You slam your fist into a group of leaves, making them into a shield.
  271. 271.
    >You then charge forward, smashing into the wolves.
  272. 272.
    >You thought of a way to use Hamon charged leaves as a weapon.
  273. 273.
    >Wait, can you think of another way to use Hamon?
  274. 274.
     
  275. 275.
    >Hamon affects leaves.
  276. 276.
    >Leaves are plants.
  277. 277.
    >What else is a plant?
  278. 278.
    >Grass?
  279. 279.
    >You charge your fists up, and bring them down to the ground.
  280. 280.
    "Overdrive!"
  281. 281.
    >You slam your Hamon energy into the ground, creating a cool energy ring that spreads out.
  282. 282.
    >It runs into several timber wolves, shocking them.
  283. 283.
    >But then you notice that they're repairing themselves.
  284. 284.
    >No one's attacks are doing anything!
  285. 285.
    >What are you gonna do?
  286. 286.
     
  287. 287.
    >You're Angel Rammstein.
  288. 288.
    >And your Stand, while effective at slowing them down, isn't doing much in the way of damage.
  289. 289.
    >You look back at your friends.
  290. 290.
    >They're fighting as hard as they can.
  291. 291.
    >And though they aren't doing any better, you still feel more useless.
  292. 292.
    >You can just freeze these monsters in place.
  293. 293.
    >But they can actually be tear them apart.
  294. 294.
    >Gioia shoves you out of the way to chuck another ball at a monster.
  295. 295.
    >You manage to freeze another monster, but it's Jojo who finishes it off.
  296. 296.
    >It's not fair.
  297. 297.
    >They're working so hard to protect you.
  298. 298.
    >You want to protect them too.
  299. 299.
    >Your eyes befall another wolf, eyeing you hungrily.
  300. 300.
    "[ROCK YOU]!"
  301. 301.
    >But your Stand doesn't respond.
  302. 302.
    >You look back, and see [ROCK YOU] on the ground.
  303. 303.
    >It's huddled into a ball, and the pink hue of its armor is now brown.
  304. 304.
    >Oh no...
  305. 305.
    >Did you kill your Stand?
  306. 306.
     
  307. 307.
    >You look back at the wolf, starting to panic.
  308. 308.
    >Jojo and Gioia are too busy fighting off other wolves!
  309. 309.
    >And your Stand is dead...
  310. 310.
    >What're you going to do?
  311. 311.
    >The wolf charges you.
  312. 312.
    >This is it.
  313. 313.
    >The wolf lunges at you.
  314. 314.
    >"Ayi!"
  315. 315.
    >Suddenly, you feel a fist slam into your arm.
  316. 316.
    >A second later, the wolf bites down on it, but it's teeth shatter.
  317. 317.
    >Your arm has turned to stone!
  318. 318.
    >You can still move it, but it's now a literal rock!
  319. 319.
    >You look at what punches you.
  320. 320.
    >It's...
  321. 321.
    >[ROCK YOU]?!
  322. 322.
    >But it's taller, and the shoulders look ridiculously huge.
  323. 323.
    >And it's ears are swept back, too. And you can see "II" on its chest.
  324. 324.
    >This is...
  325. 325.
    >You turn, grinning.
  326. 326.
    >Two more wolves come up.
  327. 327.
    "[ROCK YOU, ACT 2]!"
  328. 328.
    >"Ayiyiyiyiyiyi!"
  329. 329.
    >[ROCK YOU]'s fists start slamming into the wolves.
  330. 330.
    >They break apart in mere seconds!
  331. 331.
    >Stones in the shape of sticks fall to the ground.
  332. 332.
    >Not only is [ROCK YOU] more powerful now, but it seems to have gained a new power!
  333. 333.
    >The other wolves look over, quite concerned with this turn of events.
  334. 334.
    >They start regrouping, but Gioia threw her balls at them, causing them to panic.
  335. 335.
    >And then Jojo keeps shocking them with her Ripple.
  336. 336.
    >They're running now!
  337. 337.
    >But that one's going for Jojo!
  338. 338.
    >Not if you can help it!
  339. 339.
    "[ROCK YOU]!"
  340. 340.
    >Your Stand turns the wolf to stone, and breaks it apart.
  341. 341.
    >Before you know it, you're standing alone with Jojo and Gioia.
  342. 342.
    >You...won?
  343. 343.
     
  344. 344.
    >You won!
  345. 345.
    >You're grinning so much right now.
  346. 346.
    >Jojo and Gioia run up and hug you.
  347. 347.
    >You laugh, hugging them back.
  348. 348.
    >After a bit, you break the hug, smiling.
  349. 349.
    >Gioia looks around, trying to find where you all came from.
  350. 350.
    >>"We need to get back. I don't wanna worry daddy."
  351. 351.
    >You nod.
  352. 352.
    "I don't like those monsters, either. We should get away from them."
  353. 353.
    >Everyone agrees.
  354. 354.
    >Gioia steps out in front.
  355. 355.
    >>"I'll lead the way. This is my forest."
  356. 356.
    >Jojo steps up, grabbing her.
  357. 357.
    >"You don't know where we are. I'll lead."
  358. 358.
    >Gioia looks at her meanly.
  359. 359.
    >>"Neither do you! You can't find our way back!"
  360. 360.
    >"Yeah?! Well, I found you, didn't I?!"
  361. 361.
    >>"How do you know I didn't get lost on purpose, huh?"
  362. 362.
    >"Then that means you're too stupid to lead!"
  363. 363.
    >>"Am not!"
  364. 364.
    >"Are too!"
  365. 365.
    >>"Am not!"
  366. 366.
    >"Are too!"
  367. 367.
    >Not this stuff again.
  368. 368.
    >This is just...annoying.
  369. 369.
    "Girls! Let's just stick together. Why don't we start heading uphill?"
  370. 370.
    >Jojo and Gioia whine, bemoaned.
  371. 371.
    >"But I don't wanna go uphill!"
  372. 372.
    >>"But I don't wanna go uphill!"
  373. 373.
    >You huff.
  374. 374.
    "But Gioia's house is at the top of a hill, right? That means that's the way home."
  375. 375.
    >Seriously, did they not think of that?
  376. 376.
    >They both sigh in defeat.
  377. 377.
    >"Okaaay."
  378. 378.
    >>"Okaaay."
  379. 379.
    >You all start moving uphill.
  380. 380.
     
  381. 381.
    >You are Gioia.
  382. 382.
    >And Jojo is stupid.
  383. 383.
    >You can lead everyone out of the forest just fine.
  384. 384.
    >You don't need her to tell you what to do.
  385. 385.
    >You get enough of that from Daddy.
  386. 386.
    >Jeez, why did you have to live at the top of a hill?
  387. 387.
    >It's so haaaard to walk uphill.
  388. 388.
     
  389. 389.
    >You're Jojo.
  390. 390.
    >And it's so haaaard to walk uphill.
  391. 391.
    >Stupid Gioia.
  392. 392.
    >Stupid woods.
  393. 393.
    >Stupid Timberwolves.
  394. 394.
    >Why does everything have to be difficult sometimes?
  395. 395.
    >Well, the ground is getting softer, so at least that's something.
  396. 396.
    >It feels good in your feet, but didn't daddy say something about soft ground?
  397. 397.
    >Yeah.
  398. 398.
    >"If you're ever near trees, and you find ground that seems too soft, avoid it."
  399. 399.
    >You stop.
  400. 400.
    >Why did daddy want you to avoid soft ground?
  401. 401.
    >"Because of sinkholes. The earth is hollow underneath the soft ground. It's easy to fall."
  402. 402.
    >Oh, crud.
  403. 403.
    "Everyone, stop!"
  404. 404.
    >Angel stops, but Gioia keeps going.
  405. 405.
    >You reach out to her.
  406. 406.
    "Gioia, wait!"
  407. 407.
    >She keeps going, sticking her nose up in the air.
  408. 408.
    >"I'm not gonna wait for a stupid head like you!"
  409. 409.
    >Darnit, Gioia!
  410. 410.
    "You don't understand! There's sinkholes around-"
  411. 411.
    >Before you can finish the sentence, Gioia suddenly falls into the ground with a shriek.
  412. 412.
    "Gioia!"
  413. 413.
    >>"Gioia!"
  414. 414.
     
  415. 415.
    >Crudcrudcrudcrudcrud!
  416. 416.
    >You're Gioia!
  417. 417.
    >And you're falling!
  418. 418.
    >You think only for a second.
  419. 419.
    >You need to go up.
  420. 420.
    >You can play the spin game.
  421. 421.
    >You once made leaves go up with the spin!
  422. 422.
    >You chuck both your balls downward!
  423. 423.
    >Even though it's dark, you can see exactly where they went!
  424. 424.
    >The balls hit the ground, and keep spinning!
  425. 425.
    >They spin so fast, they push the wind up!
  426. 426.
    >It's enough to cushion your fall, and let you land safely.
  427. 427.
    >You hold your dress to your legs, and land softly on your butt.
  428. 428.
    >You sigh in relief, before taking your balls.
  429. 429.
    >You look up, and call out.
  430. 430.
    "I'm okay!"
  431. 431.
     
  432. 432.
    >You are Jojo.
  433. 433.
    >And you and Angel are relieved to hear that.
  434. 434.
    "Can you get back up?"
  435. 435.
    >A moment later, you hear Gioia.
  436. 436.
    >"No, it's too dark to see anything!"
  437. 437.
    >Oh, darn.
  438. 438.
    >Angel looks over at you.
  439. 439.
    >>"We can't just leave her here."
  440. 440.
    >You shrug.
  441. 441.
    "Well, we could."
  442. 442.
    >Angel Huff's at you
  443. 443.
    >>"Jojo!"
  444. 444.
    >You giggle.
  445. 445.
    "I'm only kidding."
  446. 446.
    >You look down the sinkhole.
  447. 447.
    "Do you have any ideas?"
  448. 448.
    >Angel shakes her head.
  449. 449.
    >>"No, not really."
  450. 450.
    >"Guys? Y-you didn't leave me here, did you?"
  451. 451.
    "We're coming, Gioia! Just stay there!"
  452. 452.
    >"Okay..."
  453. 453.
     
  454. 454.
    >You make a popping sound with your mouth.
  455. 455.
    "Well, I don't have any ideas."
  456. 456.
    >>"Well let's at least not leave her alone."
  457. 457.
    >You watch Angel stand up, as her Stand appears.
  458. 458.
    "What are you doing?"
  459. 459.
    >>"I'm going down."
  460. 460.
    >Her Stand begins punching her rapidly, turning her skin to stone.
  461. 461.
    >>"Geronimo!"
  462. 462.
    >Before you can protest, Angel jumps into the sinkhole.
  463. 463.
    >She plummets down below.
  464. 464.
    >A moment later, you hear both Gioia and Angel.
  465. 465.
    >"You dummy! You almost squished me!"
  466. 466.
    >>"Yeah, but I didn't. Jojo! Come down here!"
  467. 467.
    >You don't know if this is a good idea.
  468. 468.
    >But you don't wanna be up here on your own.
  469. 469.
    >You use Ripple to get some leaves together, and make a sled.
  470. 470.
    >Well, here goes.
  471. 471.
    >You jump.
  472. 472.
     
  473. 473.
    >You're Angel.
  474. 474.
    >And you hear Jojo scream.
  475. 475.
    >"Yaaaaaaaaaah!"
  476. 476.
    >You look up, and see her sliding down the side of the hole on a sled.
  477. 477.
    >She slides to a stop near you.
  478. 478.
    >Though she's stopped, she doesn't let go of the sides of her sled.
  479. 479.
    >She's clinging desperately to the sides, huddled on top of it, and her eyes snapped shut.
  480. 480.
    "Jojo?"
  481. 481.
    >She looks up at you out of one eye, and straightens herself.
  482. 482.
    >Her sled immediately turns into a pile of leaves.
  483. 483.
    >She stands, and rolls her shoulders.
  484. 484.
    >"That was fun."
  485. 485.
    >Her words were short and intense.
  486. 486.
    >You don't think she thought it was fun.
  487. 487.
    >>"So now what do we do? We're all down here, what happens now?"
  488. 488.
    "We need a way to make light."
  489. 489.
    >"On it."
  490. 490.
    >You watch Jojo take some of the leaves, and breathe.
  491. 491.
    >Her Ripple runs through the leaves, and begins shining gold.
  492. 492.
    >The light immediately brightens the area.
  493. 493.
    >She displays the ball of leaves, looking proud of herself.
  494. 494.
    >"Pretty cool, right? My instructor taught me this."
  495. 495.
    >For a moment, Gioia looks impressed, before she shrugged.
  496. 496.
    >>"It's alright."
  497. 497.
    >Well, YOU'RE impressed.
  498. 498.
     
  499. 499.
    >You look at the now lit up area.
  500. 500.
    >The sinkhole looks to be a huge cave.
  501. 501.
    >>"Look! There's a path!"
  502. 502.
    >She goes to take the path, but you grab her arm.
  503. 503.
    "Not so fast! We gotta stick together."
  504. 504.
    >She looks at you, and nods.
  505. 505.
    >The three of you begin moving through the cave.
  506. 506.
    >You begin to analyze the area around you.
  507. 507.
    "This place isn't as big as a normal cave. It seems pretty straightforward."
  508. 508.
    >Jojo nods.
  509. 509.
    >"We must be near the surface. There's a lot of dead plants around here."
  510. 510.
    >>"Yeah, there's air here, too. Daddy says that it's hard for air to get deep underground."
  511. 511.
    "Maybe there's an exit up ahead?"
  512. 512.
    >The group comes to a large chasm.
  513. 513.
    "...Or a hole."
  514. 514.
     
  515. 515.
    >You are Jojo.
  516. 516.
    >You check the chasm.
  517. 517.
    "It's pretty deep. And it's a little way to the surface."
  518. 518.
    >Gioia moans lightly in frustration.
  519. 519.
    >"Well we can't go along the sides. The hole in this chasm is flush with the cliff side."
  520. 520.
    >Angel looks down the chasm curiously.
  521. 521.
    >>"There's another cave on the other side. Maybe we can make a bridge?"
  522. 522.
    >That's not a bad idea.
  523. 523.
    >"With what?"
  524. 524.
    "With this."
  525. 525.
    >You take a breath, and focus your Hamon.
  526. 526.
    >Then you punch the ground.
  527. 527.
    >The dead plants around begin flying toward you.
  528. 528.
    >You start forming them together.
  529. 529.
    >You have just enough plants to create a bridge across the chasm.
  530. 530.
    >>"Awesome, Jojo!"
  531. 531.
     
  532. 532.
    >You watch Gioia and Angel go across the bridge.
  533. 533.
    >You're about to go over yourself, but then you remember.
  534. 534.
    >If you take your hands off, the plants will all fall to the ground.
  535. 535.
    >Angel and Gioia are waving you over.
  536. 536.
    >"Hurry up, Jojo!"
  537. 537.
    "I can't come across! The bridge will fall if I move my hands!"
  538. 538.
    >For a moment, they stand there.
  539. 539.
    >Then, Angel calls out.
  540. 540.
    >>"I have an idea! Hold on, Jojo!"
  541. 541.
    >Angel brings out [ROCK YOU], and begins punching the bridge.
  542. 542.
    >"Ayiyiyiyiyiyi!"
  543. 543.
    >Oh, you get it!
  544. 544.
    >The plants are all bound together, so if [ROCK YOU] turns them to stone, then they won't fall away when you move your hands.
  545. 545.
    >Soon enough, Angel makes her way to you.
  546. 546.
    >You release your Hamon, and the bridge stays where it's at.
  547. 547.
    >That was really cool!
  548. 548.
    >You and Angel rejoin Gioia, and then continue your adventure.
  549. 549.
     
  550. 550.
    >You've been walking for a whole now.
  551. 551.
    >You're already sick of this cave.
  552. 552.
    "Ugh! I don't wanna be in this place anymore! The walls stink, and it's waaaay too dark."
  553. 553.
    >Gioia looks like she's about to say something, when angel shouts out to you.
  554. 554.
    >>"Look! There's light up ahead!"
  555. 555.
    >The both of you look over, and sure enough, there was sunlight coming out from around the corner!
  556. 556.
    >Finally, you get to be out of this cave!
  557. 557.
    >Laughing, you all start running toward the entrance.
  558. 558.
    >As soon as you come out, you see more forest.
  559. 559.
    >You're about to groan, when Gioia pipes up.
  560. 560.
    >"I know where we are!"
  561. 561.
    >She smiles.
  562. 562.
    >"The park playground is just over this hill! C'mon!"
  563. 563.
    >Gladly, the three of you start moving quickly to the hill.
  564. 564.
    >Then you hear howling from behind you.
  565. 565.
    >You all stop, and Gioia looks angry.
  566. 566.
    >"Oh come on!"
  567. 567.
     
  568. 568.
    >Looking back, you see the pack of timber wolves.
  569. 569.
    >They were waiting for you.
  570. 570.
    >At the mouth of the cave.
  571. 571.
    >These puppies are too smart for their own good.
  572. 572.
    >But apparently not smart enough to leave you alone.
  573. 573.
    "Let's wait for them to come to us. We don't wanna get tired running at them."
  574. 574.
    >Angel and Gioia nod, and stand with you.
  575. 575.
    >The wolves come in, charging almost all at once.
  576. 576.
    >But you and your friends stick together.
  577. 577.
    >Gioia throws her balls, smacking one or two at a time.
  578. 578.
    >You hit the ground, sending waves of Ripple at the wolves and disorient them.
  579. 579.
    >Angel uses her Stand on the rest, the ones who manage to get too close.
  580. 580.
    >The fight is going very well, you don't seem to have a problem taking them on.
  581. 581.
    >Your Hamon works, as you find out, if you use it properly.
  582. 582.
    >The wolves get back up if you hit them anywhere except the neck.
  583. 583.
    >You need to let them get in close to hit them there, though.
  584. 584.
    >But with the help of your friends, it's no big deal to hit them where you need to.
  585. 585.
    >Soon enough, there's only a few wolves, and a large pile of sticks.
  586. 586.
    >You grin, stepping forward with your friends, and punching your fist into your hand.
  587. 587.
    >"Let's get this over with already! I wanna go home!"
  588. 588.
    >Gioia looks irritated, as she folds her arms, her balls spinning in her hands.
  589. 589.
    >Angel just stares menacingly at the wolves, her Stand looking ready to fight behind her.
  590. 590.
    >The last few wolves look at each other.
  591. 591.
    >They suddenly howl in unison, causing them to start gravitating towards each other.
  592. 592.
    >The sticks around you start shooting towards the wolves as well.
  593. 593.
    >They start gathering into one mass.
  594. 594.
    >The massive faggot reforms, until it becomes a giant timber wolf.
  595. 595.
    >It snarls at you and your friends.
  596. 596.
    >You look at Angel and Gioia apprehensively.
  597. 597.
    >They have the same thing in their mind, judging by their expressions.
  598. 598.
    >...This might actually be a threat.
  599. 599.
     
  600. 600.
    >The big timber wolf growls, snarling at you.
  601. 601.
    >You're kinda not liking this.
  602. 602.
    >Like, a lot.
  603. 603.
    >You actually think you're a bit scared right now.
  604. 604.
    >Before you can say anything, Angel steps forward.
  605. 605.
    >She glares angrily at the timber wolf.
  606. 606.
    >>"Like heck I'm gonna let some big monster hurt my friends! I don't care how big a doggy you are! I'm gonna [ROCK YOU]!"
  607. 607.
    >She suddenly charges forward, her Stand at the ready.
  608. 608.
    >The wolf reaches out, swiping at her with it's paw.
  609. 609.
    >Angel turns to meet the attack, her Stand punching the paw with such strength that it stops in it's tracks.
  610. 610.
    >"Ayiyiyiyiyiyi!"
  611. 611.
    >This is crazy.
  612. 612.
    >Angel's crazy.
  613. 613.
    >A ball suddenly zips up, spinning right into the timber wolf's eye.
  614. 614.
    >It howls in pain, stumbling back.
  615. 615.
    >"You big meanie! You ruined my playdate! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten lost in the forest! You're gonna pay!"
  616. 616.
    >She chucks her other ball, and it hits the wolf's other eye.
  617. 617.
    >Crud, your friends are giving it their all.
  618. 618.
    >And you're scared...
  619. 619.
    >But that doesn't mean you can't fight too!
  620. 620.
    >You start charging in, using your Ripple to gather plants together.
  621. 621.
    >They form into a very long stick.
  622. 622.
    >You use your stick to pole vault upwards.
  623. 623.
    >The wolf opens its eyes just in time to see you coming at it's head, feet first.
  624. 624.
    "Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!"
  625. 625.
    >You slam into the wolf's head, knocking it back, and causing it to fall on it's side.
  626. 626.
    >You see it stumbling up to it's feet, gathering branches and logs to repair itself.
  627. 627.
    >"Crud. How're we gonna stop it?"
  628. 628.
    "I noticed the ones I hit in the neck earlier didn't get back up."
  629. 629.
    >Angel gives a small gasp of realization.
  630. 630.
    >>"Jojo, you ever played baseball before?"
  631. 631.
    >You look over at her.
  632. 632.
    "Yeah, why?"
  633. 633.
    >>"Just follow my lead."
  634. 634.
     
  635. 635.
    >>"Jojo, make a big bat! Gioia, I need you to launch me up in the air!"
  636. 636.
    >"Okay, but why?"
  637. 637.
    >Angel runs and stands over nearby.
  638. 638.
    >>"Just get ready to do it! Jojo, are you ready?"
  639. 639.
    >You look down, and quickly gather enough leaves to make a really large bat.
  640. 640.
    >>"No, bigger than that!"
  641. 641.
    >She looks back at the timber wolf, to see it's back up to its feet.
  642. 642.
    >It shakes the cobwebs out of its head.
  643. 643.
    >>"Hurry!"
  644. 644.
    >You form a bigger bat with all the leaves and plants nearby.
  645. 645.
    >It's as big as you can muster, about as big as the pole.
  646. 646.
    >>"That's good! Gioia, bop its nose! Then launch me high as you can! Jojo, aim for its mouth!"
  647. 647.
    >Wait, what?
  648. 648.
    "But what am I hitting?"
  649. 649.
    >>"You'll see!"
  650. 650.
    >Gioia throws a spinning ball straight at the timber wolf's nose.
  651. 651.
    >It strikes home, and flies back.
  652. 652.
    >It glares angrily.
  653. 653.
    >>"Now!"
  654. 654.
    >Gioia throws both her balls at the ground right under Angel.
  655. 655.
    >The wolf snarls.
  656. 656.
    >The balls spin so fast, it causes Angel to be launched up in the air.
  657. 657.
    >While in the air, she curls into a ball, and her Stand starts punching her body, turning it to stone.
  658. 658.
    >The wolf roars.
  659. 659.
    >Ah! You get it now!
  660. 660.
    "And here's the pitch!"
  661. 661.
    >You swing your giant bat as Angel falls to the ground.
  662. 662.
    >It's a home run, straight at the wolf!
  663. 663.
    >Angel lands dead center in the wolf's throat.
  664. 664.
    >Oh no! He swallowed her!
  665. 665.
    >Wait...
  666. 666.
    >You hear something...
  667. 667.
    >"...yiyiyiyiyiyi!"
  668. 668.
    >The wolf's neck suddenly explodes, and Angel falls to the ground like a rock, along with a shower of sticks.
  669. 669.
     
  670. 670.
    >You're Gioia.
  671. 671.
    >And you see Angel falling to the ground.
  672. 672.
    >You and Jojo exchange looks, before you rush over to check on her.
  673. 673.
    >She gets up, looking a little wobbly.
  674. 674.
    >She shakes her head, and smiles at the two of you.
  675. 675.
    >You and Jojo immediately catch her in a hug.
  676. 676.
    >The hug breaks, and you all smile at each other.
  677. 677.
    "We did it! Those timber wolves won't be bothering us again!"
  678. 678.
    >>"GREAT! Now I wanna go home."
  679. 679.
    >You and Angel nod in agreement.
  680. 680.
    >As a group, you walk over to the park.
  681. 681.
    >As you're passing through, you hear a familiar voice.
  682. 682.
    >"Girls! Over here!"
  683. 683.
    >You look over, and all see Angel's brother.
  684. 684.
    >He's waving you over, and has his cellphone in his hand.
  685. 685.
    >You all rush over to him, but he has a stern look on his face.
  686. 686.
    >You wait silently as he calls someone on his phone.
  687. 687.
    >"Zeppeli, it's Erich. You were right. They were at the park. Yeah, I'll bring 'em home, now."
  688. 688.
    >He puts his phone away, and looks over at you.
  689. 689.
    >"You girls should know better than to wander off like that! Your fathers and I were very worried about you! There's dangerous things in this town that could've hurt you, understand?!"
  690. 690.
    "Yes, sir."
  691. 691.
    >"Yes, Ricky."
  692. 692.
    >>"Yes, sir."
  693. 693.
    >More thank you know.
  694. 694.
    >"Good. For what it's worth, I'm glad you girls are alright. Let's go home."
  695. 695.
    >As Angel's brother turns away, you all nod silently at each other in an unspoken agreement.
  696. 696.
    >It's better if the adults don't know what happened.
