Was It Worth It?

"....The World."

A gust of air soon exploded from my body releasing an intense golden aura then a figure slowly appear behind my back, A golden muscular figure posing behind me wanting to be use in combat (Google The World JoJo). And with a snap of my finger.

*Time's Stop.*

Time has been frozen, I gaze around to see the others frozen in place... as well as the infected.

*Breathes out*

I best hurry. I took out multiple knifes from storage.

(Bernard Herrmann- Twisted Nerve)

I ran alongside The World, I started throwing my knifes in multiple directions targeting the infected's head. The knife then stop midair directly in front of them. Looking at it....I realize how broken this power of mine truly is...they look so defenseless, I doubt they would know what hit them, thus I keep on repeating this process until.

*Time's Resume*

*Pushi, Stab*

Multiple infected had their head pierce by my knifes and fall to the ground dead. The three large infected roared and run towards me. One of them reaches me and raise its fist to punch me and I merely smile.

"The World."

*Time's Stop*

The monster's fist stop in front of me, I leap forwards and took out my machete and proceed to cut and smash the monster's head repeatedly.

*Time's Resume*

The monster didn't realized what happen fell to its knee....dead. The other seeing this were in shock and awe as to what had happen.

-Saya Takagi's POV-

"Hey..what the fuck happened? shouldn't the kid be dead...why are the infected dying around him."

Teshima-san who was holding Kyoko-san was visiblity confused....even I'm confused to what had happen.

"Knife...there's knife in their head...but I didn't see him threw them."

Busujima-senpai who was behind me commented as she observed the battlefield. She's right as I look closer the knife is embedded in its head with precise precision, something no normal child could pull off under this condition.

Not only that he managed to dodge that monster's fist I thought he was a gonna at that point but in the next second, the monster head explode and it died. What makes it even more strange is that Arthur seemingly teleport while fighting.

I hold my chin contemplating....I hate this...I hate not knowing. Hirano seeing this wanted to ask if I'm alright and if I wanted to go to the bathroom. I feel like kicking him but I don have time.....time.

My eyes widen and I quickly stand...I look around the scene and see him killed another large monster and now there's only one left...Killing multiple infected with a knife thrown in a short amount of time without anyone seeing it. The large monster killed in less than one second...No way it can't be.

Takashi seeing my surprise face asked

"Hey Saya you alright?"

I smile arrogantly...and turns to face the others.

"I've figured it out!"

The others were surprise by my words.

"What do you mean by that?"

Rei looks as me along with Shizuka-sensei.

"Arthur....you might not believe this but I think Arthur has the ability to stop time."

Moments later we hear a loud thud, we turn to see the last large monster killed by his hand. And after a moment of silence, everyone well expect Busujima-senpai exclaimed.

"EEEEEEEEEHH!!!!"

-Arthur's POV-

[Hidden Quest Completed: Kill 5 Large Mutated Infected. Host will receive the accumulative reward after completing this world quests.]

'What are these people doing...being loud and all.'

<Oh...I don't know, maybe they're shock by the fact a kid killed aaaaaalllll these poor creatures in less than a minute.>

'I can use without the sarcasm Solomon, I get that....*sigh* how am I gonna explain this.'

I turn and walks towards them looking down contemplating and just as I look up and see two large missile coming at me...*smack*

"Arthur!! I was so worried! what were you thinking? you could have hurt yourself."

Uncle,uncle,uncle.....I can't breath. I'm being suffocated.

"Ano...Shizuka-sensei..I think he's gonna pass out."

Chiaki who was standing behind her looked worried...thanks but it's too late, my soul left my body.

-PRIOR BEFORE ENTERING THE WORLD OF HOTD-

<The powers I offer you belong to the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures. I can't give you any random power from various world due to the fact I lack power. The Elders gave me some points to purchase to help you in your 'walk' of course this offer is only once. Since you manage to impressed me, I've decided to use up all my points to buy you these ability...of course if you can pay the price.>

"I still don't get it, If The Elders gave you points with the intention of helping me why would they ask for me to pay a price...unless...you bastard, this is for your own selfish reason. The Elders, they never gave you and order to collect any prices from me."

<...Like I said...you can treat me like a broken system.>

"....What do you want in return for those powers?"

<I want you to give me your memories.>

Solomon said it with cold voice...my memories.

"Which memory?"

<Three powers for three types of memory involving a particular person.>

My eyes wide and my heart beats fast to a point I could hear it....it can't be....the memories of my sister. I bit my lips to calm myself, but Solomon added fuel to flame as he explained what I had to pay.

<The first ability you have to pay is the memory of your sister's face.>

<The second ability you have to pay is the memory of your sister's voice.>

I nearly fell to my knee but when I heard the last one I felt like dying.

<And for your last ability....you have to pay with all your happy and cherished memories of the time you and sister had.>

"Solomon...after thinking for awhile now I realized something, you have a special connection with me don't you...but what exactly?"

<....oh I believe you know the answer to that...but you're too afraid to admit it.>

In a rare moment, Solomon looks at me with a sad expression and a calm voice before reverting back to his usual self.

<Now then, will you accept my offer?>

My eyes started to tear up, and Solomon starts to laughs madly...Solomon slowly raise his hand in an attempt to shake my hand. Tears starts streaming down my cheeks...this cruel, this is beyond cruel but Solomon was right if given the opportunity I won't hesitate.

'Forgive me sister...but I promised you. I'll bring you back no matter cost.'

I grip Solomon's hand tightly with my left hand.

"I accept your offer and I'm willing...I'm willing to pay the price."

Solomon smiles and laughs like a child receiving his candy. Then the mark on my left hand starts to glow brightly and shine a blinding white light.

-NOW-

*Gasp*

I open my eyes and see two beautiful mount...I turn to see the others discussing their next move.

"Arthur you're awake."

I turn to see Mari-nee smiling down on me. The others stop what their doing and turn to face me....argh great all eyes on me. I slowly stand up and stretch my body while walking towards a coffee machine that they manage to get running. It seems that we're in the staff room. The others must have taken care of the infected while I was out cold.

'Solomon, I'm guessing I got knocked out was because I overused The World.'

<Yes and also being suffocated by those monster's breasts...hehe>

Seeing this, Busujima-senpai pour a glass of coffee and passed it to me...after a few blows I drink it, wow...it felt like years since I had coffee.

"So....what's are we going to do next young man?"

Busujima-senpai looks at me while smiling, I walk towards the window while drinking.

"Now....now we leave."

Then I heard a voice behind me.

"Wait..before we leave we need you explain something."

I turn to see Takagi-san with her arm crossed standing behind me looking serious.

*Drinks coffee*

'Solomon, am I obligated to tell them anything and if I did tell them about who I really am, will I be punished?'

<No, you are free to tell whoever you believe in. The Elders won't punish you for telling anyone because honestly I doubt anyone would believe you. Why? you're acting strange.>

Solomon notice my vacant eyes as I drink.

'I suddenly recalled the deal we made when I offered you my memories...got me thinking that you purposely left the bad ones in. Now I have to deal with these people that means nothing to me and honestly is getting real tiring, all for a wish...a wish that I can bring my sister back.'

<....>

'These....people are nothing but works of fiction, a means to an end. I've no obligation to them except for completing quests.'

[Optional Quest: Kill Everyone in the Takagi's Estate after completing the Main Quest 01.]

I look at Takagi-san and smile like how a child should and nods.

"Alright Nee-san, I'll explain everything."

'I want to get out of this world as soon as possible.'
