Jojo's : A Bizarre Journey

Maria accompanied Jack and I to the room blue hair was staying at.

Now, I'm calling her blue hair, but i know a few things about her.

She was one of the names that i had to memorize because George wanted me to be familiarized with the names of my ¨peers¨

First, her name is Apolonia, and her family does business with in UK in general, the same sections as the Joestars.

Her father is Joseph and her mother is Mary.

Her father is familiar with George, while her mother is more of an aristocrat that chats with the other wives of the other of the other bourgeois.

By the way, my father's connections are more professional. He's called ¨The Wolf¨ in some circles.

Something about how they always wait for the best moment to attack and they never fail.

Well, it's a fitting name considering George's business practices.

Anyways, Apolonia Billiard Aston.

First Daughter and third child of Joseph Billiard and Mary Aston.

Heir of the Billiard Fortune.

She's the one who had been stalking me and Jack.

So i enter the room, making full use of my stature and dull yellow eyes, Jack behind me by a few steps, also trying his best to appear serious, it's working thanks to his body and intimidating red eyes.

Still, she doesn't appear intimidated and stands up.

"Good evening, sir Aroa, sir Jack"

""Good evening"" We answer at the same time.

She sits in the sofa, while Jack and I sit in the sofa in front of her.

I sip a bit of tea that was already served while Jack sits with his back straight, as if there was a sword embedded in his spine.

"To what do I owe this pleasure?, Miss Billiard, Is there something wrong with my friend or me?"

"No, Not yet, at the very least"

Her blue eyes take a more serious approach.

And i feel it.

A change in the amosphere.

As if there was someone else in the room with us and grabbed us by the throat.

Not someone, but something.

Jack looks unnerved to my left. Unsure whether to run or attack.

My and Jack's reaction don't go unnoticed by the girl in front of us.

"You can feel it? Good, that will save me some time."

"You talk as if you know what are you doing" I retort, angrily but calm.

"I apologize, i know that my actions weren't the ideal way to approach this subject, but i would rather be direct in this"

"And ¨This¨ is...?" Jack asks.

"This is, my friend, my speciality..."

I think i know where this is going...

"my ¨Stardust¨."

And i don't like it.

Jack and I can't see it, we can't hear it or percieve it with any of out 5 senses...

But it's there.

Stardust is there.

Apolonia's Stand.

"Why are you showing us this?, Im sure that your stand is something well hidden within your family, if they even know it."

"¨Stand¨ huh... Well, my father knows, after all, he's the one who helped me use it properly and not fear it."

This is way out of my hands now.

"That didn't answer my main priority, Why are you showing us your stand?, What do you win?"

"Win? Well, i suppose i would be winning something..." She says with a misterious smile in her face

"..."

"Let me start in order, first, the ability of my ¨Stand¨ as you call it, is..."

"Future Sight"

"!", Im sorry, what?

"Through Stardust i can see the future and past of a person."

"It also lets me detect ¨Echoes¨ of significant future events, which manifest as subtle sensations or sounds in her present environment. These echoes serve as warnings or indicators of pivotal moments yet to come..."

"Wait, stop."

"..."

She actually stops and i take time to gather my thoughts.

What is this?, What is this shitty plot?

Jack doesn't say anything, but he's not skeptical about Apolonia's abilities.

He's not dumb, he has long realized that Hamon isn't just a self defence martial art.

"I'll continue if it's fine with you..."

"Go ahead, please"

"The reason why I have come here and exposed my secrets is because of two things"

"I wanted to, first, confirm sir Jack's fate; and second, I wanted to see what changed it"

Stop.

¨Confirm Jack's fate¨ Did she saw something about Jack?, His Ripper future? She said Fate too, so it's the type that can't be changed.

¨What changed it¨ That's me, so she's looking for things that can change fate?, Is it because she thinks of me as a threat?

"My fate?" Jack asks.

"Yes, Your fate was to become a murderer who would terrorize London in 10 years, you would meet a blonde man, who will turn you into his slave and ultimately you would die against a blue haired warrior."

Oh damn. That's completely accurate.

"..." Jack doesn't say anything, but i can see he is conflicted.

"Don't fret please, as i said, it was your fate, but around half a year ago, the time when school was going end, your fate suddenly started changing."

That's the same time I met Jack.

"I thought you had done something to change your Fate, but after investigating you and tailing you for a while, i realized it wasn't you."

She did that? It was pre-training Jack so it wouldn't surprise me that he couldn't detect her.

"Instead, you began to spend time around another person, the recently adopted son of George Joestar, Aroa Joestar, who doesn't have any prove of existance prior to his adoption"

"Wait, what does that mean?" I ask her, geniously intrigued.

"Well, There are no orphanage records, civil records, or in general, any records about your existance prior to being adopted by Mr Joestar, many people speculated about your origins, about the mother, about the 13 years he wasn't with his brother in the mansion."

"I see..." How come i've never heard of this before? Rumours are bad for someone who will inherit a position such as George's.

"Anyways, you mentioned before that there wasn't nothing wrong with Jack and I, not yet at the very least."

"Yes, please don't take this badly, but..."

"I saw Jack's future, i saw him dead and with your body at his right."

""!""

"Please elaborate." I tell her, since Jack doesn't seem in any place to do so.

"In what appeared to be a He was lying in his back, a gaping and burning hole in his stomach, to his right was your mangled body..."

Apolonia says while starting to sweat, and takes a moment to sip her tea...

"Standing over the both of you, was a fairly young man on his mid-twenties and a man near his 50s, both shining in yellow lighting while the youngest was taking what looked to be like a stone mask from your body, while the other hand was holding a red stone."

"I see, please, let me think for a moment..."

"It's Alright" She says, a bit creeped out by someone taking in their death so calmly

This changes everything, this changes absolutely everything.

First, they were both shining in hamon and made a burning hole in Jack, that was work of the scarlet ripple for sure, so they were Hamon master.

Then, The young man must be Straizo, who shouldn't be here, wasn't he supposed to be around his 20 in the events that happen in the final Dio fight, in 10 years still?

It can't be Zeppeli, if he was, then he wouldn't have taken the stone mask, he would've destroyed it with my body.

The older man would be Dire right? I don't remember too much of him, he was just the guy that did the thunder cross split attack and died to Dio.

That doesn't make him weak though, i think he gave a bit of trouble to trained Jonathan.

Alright so they both come to Liverpool and target me and Jack?

I understand that they arrive here to investigate the murders of people who were drained of all their blood.

So they would eventually come to learn that the stone mask is in possession of George.

Thus target him?

And Jack and I protect him?

That doesn't make any sense at all!

"Apolonia, how does your stand work, what do you use as a medium to see the future"

"I see that your well informed about my abilities..." I asked because Diavolo Used looked into his hair to see the future, but i don't correct her.

She takes some kind of tube from one of the pockets of her uniform and places it on the table.

"This is what i use."

I grab it and inspect it.

"A kaleidoscope."

"Yes, when i look into any reflection, whether it be the reflection of the water or the reflection of a mirror, i can use my stand to look into the different fates of the person i think of."

"You keep saying ¨Fate¨, do you mean about the quantitative fate or the belief"

"Im sorry?" She looks a bit lost.

"Don't mind it please, continue."

I tried to test if she knew about fate's relation with gravity, but she doesn't appear to know.

"One of the many futures that i see stands specially, since even if i look at the other futures in the kaleidoscope the one that's in the middle never changes, is that...?"

"Yes" I cut her "That is fate, the one that can't be changed by anything"

"That's what i thought too, but when i looked into Jack's future months ago, it showed him dying to a blue haired warrior, while now he dies at your side."

"Before explaining that, please tell why were you looking into Jack's future."

"...Sure."

"I managed to see him getting hit by many others one day, so i looked into his future to make sure of his temporal safety..."

"But you looked too far and saw him becoming the ripper" 

"The ripper...?, Ah! Yes, I saw that."

"But after that you kept checking his fate didn't you?

"Yes, but...!" She looks at Jack, who is with his eyes looking at his palms, who are together in his lap.

"You don't have to explain yourself, it's fine."

"...If you say so"

"Alright, before we continue, you might have some questions, please go ahead."

"Are you sure? I might overwhelm you."

"Don't worry, Just do it quick."

"What is a stand?, What is Fate?, How can one get a stand?, What is the yellow lighting?, Why did the two of you were killed by the those two man?, Who were them?, What was that stone mask?, Did you knew about mr Jack's fate?, How can one change fate?"

I'm going to water down a bit my explanations so that i don't fry her brain with the revelations i'm going to give her.

"A stand is the manifestation of your soul; Fate is gravity; You can be born with it or get it through some very specific means; The lighting is Hamon, Hamon being a martial art made to kill vampires and enemies of the sun; We were killed because they wanted the stone mask; those men were Hamon masters who betrayed their temple to become vampires; that stone mask can turn them into vampires; I knew that gravity was special around him, but not anything too specific; The only one who can change fate is me."

"..."

She looks like she has more questions, but she wants to choose her words carefully.

"...I have helped you by telling you this information, then, you will also help me right?"

I smile.

"Of course, this information is incredibly more valuable than ms Apolonia might think, I will do anything to help you."

Although Jack isn't speaking, he nods.

"...Then I have a request for you." She asks.

"Please, go ahead."

"I need your help to break a fate that was imposed over my family."

"Well....."

"Seems easy enough".
