24. Silver Chariot~Pain from the Past~

Jessica Polnareff was a troublemaker when she was younger. She was known as the popular girl in school, and several men were fawning over her. She was known as incredibly beautiful with a smooth face and a curvy body. She has white short hair and thin white eyebrows. She also has a large bust and a strong build due to her repetitive exercise. She is 175 cm tall.

From one trouble to the other, Jessica's beauty allowed the shallow nature of her classmates to begin to see her as someone above them. Thus, this made them want to corrupt her to their ways: The delinquent ways.

16-years-old. She was expelled from campus for having sex in the Principal's Office in Prom after rejecting Miguel JoJo and allowing her friends to bully him.

18-years-old. She worked as a McDonald's Employee. However, to deal with her depression and gain more income, she decided to sell drugs in the streets for The New World Order.

21-years-old. She was arrested by the Chief of BPD. She was brought into custody. The Chief finds out about her supernatural abilities which proved her to be useful for the team. She was brought in as a cop. However, before this, she was raped by The Boss of The New World Order and was stabbed by the arrow.

Today. 28-years-old. She's a cop with a dead-end job. Depressed and looking for something new...

"Lord Salvi?"

"Yes...?"

"Miguel JoJo... He's alive..."

"What?!"

"Yes..."

"First, there's The Reaper, and now, there's Miguel JoJo. Where is he?"

"Same city as of The Reaper: Burnham City."

"Any reports on who this Reaper is?"

"No."

"And why is that, exactly?"

"He killed every single person we've sent. Sir... do you think they're in cahoots? Or... maybe..."

"I doubt that. I've thought I'd killed the boy long ago on the island. And he cowered in fear. The boy hates to include himself in any form of conflict. Reports say that Arthur made sure that his son lives a normal life. Ignore him."

"He apparently became part of the marines and went to law school on the island. Also... The Reaper... he has a Stand..."

"Really? Did you get a good look at the Stand?"

"No... We never see him... He just immediately kills those who try to spy on him as if nothing happened. It was said that he couldn't control it when younger. Now, he has full control of it... At least, I think he does."

"Does Miguel JoJo have a Stand?"

"We don't know."

"Hm... My Stand, Miguel's Stand, and The Reaper's Stand all sound like they have similar abilities. If they have the same Stand, then we might as well just kill Miguel JoJo... or... to have some fun... kill everyone he loves... then kill him..."

"Also... sir..."

"Yes?"

"There are some reports that The New World Order's existence had become known to the world."

"That means Helsing is on to us. Ready the Stand-Users... We'll find Arthur JoJo soon enough."

"Sir, what if this was all The Reaper?"

"I doubt that..."

Meanwhile...

Miguel JoJo. 195 cm. Muscular but slender build with a smoothly handsome face and light brown skin. He has black long spiky hair with one strand flowing on the right of his face. He has thick black eyebrows. He wears a gray shirt with a black cloak and a black baseball hat with a hand and a baseball. He has black boots and black pants.

Anne Zeppeli. 142 cm. Fit and extremely slender build with a beautiful face with a rather small bust. She has long straight and black hair and white skin. She also has thing white eyebrows. She wears a white suit with a heart-shaped hole on his polo revealing the center of her chest.

Jedan Ligera. 167 cm. Fit and extremely slender build with a handsome face. He has red long curly hair. He has a rather handsome and slender face. He has red thin eyebrows. He wears a green jacket with a gray shirt underneath that has a v-shaped hole on his shirt that goes all the way down his abs. He has green pants and brown boots.

"Vigilantism?" asked Jedan, sipping some coffee. The three are sitting by a table. Miguel simply ate pakbet or vegetables sauteed in shrimp paste. Anne ate some pork adobo or pork cooked in soy sauce and vinegar. Jedan ate some karekare or peanut butter curry. Each of them has a cup of rice.

"Yeah," said Miguel, calmly eating his meal. "You guys wanna do it?"

"You don't have any dumb crap like a no-killing rule, right?" asked Jedan.

Anne elbows Jedan.

"No," said Miguel. "Kill as you please."

"Why are you doing all of this?" asked Anne. "What's your whole end-game in this little war you're having with Salvi?"

"Killed my Mom," said Miguel, as he took another bite.

"Yeah, but why else are you doing this?" asked Anne, taking another bite.

Miguel raises his shoulders.

"Probably because I wanna..." said Miguel in a muffled voice. He then swallows. "...I wanna prove something?"

"Yes... Miguel..." said a voice in his head. "What do you want to prove?"

"Prove what?" asked Anne.

Miguel shakes his head.

"He's always going on about him becoming a hero one day," said Jedan. "Well, Miguel, heroes die."

"Yeah," said Miguel. "But I wanna be... y'know..." Miguel turned red.

"What?" asked the both of them.

"I wanna be... like in the comics..." he said softly. "A... Superhero..."

The two went completely silent, staring at Miguel.

The two then burst into laughter.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Nice save, dumbass," said the voice in his head.

"AHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!" laughed the both of them.

Miguel looked down looking rather bashful.

"Sh-Shut up!" he said, closing his eyes while looking cross with an eyebrow twitching.

"We're kidding with you, Miguel!" laughed Jedan. "Be free with your Superhero whatever...!"

"That's the thing," said Miguel, finishing his meal as he wiped his face with a napkin. He then sipped his Matcha Tea. "Do you wanna join? I mean, you two know my secret... I think you should join me in my crusade to defeat The Boss. It's up to you to join me."

The two look down blankly on the table.

"I've read your files. You both seemed to have associations with The Boss because you tried to find me, is that correct?" asked Miguel.

"Yeah... Still kinda hits my nerve when you mention that... you did cause us trouble... and you're the reason why Anne lost her family," said Jedan, sipping his coffee, as Anne

"I told you not to follow me... and don't bother doing anything stupid..." said Miguel sighing. "I'm sorry... That's why I'm offering to make it up to you, but I'd need your help to achieve it."

"Which is?" asked Anne.

"Join me in the crusade," said Miguel. "I've thought of a name, already." he then turned to the waitress and asked for some more tea. The waitress nodded.

"What would it be?" asked Jedan.

"The Stardust Crusaders," smiled Miguel.

The two went silent.

Jedan immediately burst with laughter. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!!!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP, GAGO!!!" shouted Miguel, grabbing Jedan by the throat with Star Platinum. "WRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

"Don't be so harsh on him, Miggy!" shouted Anne, grabbing Miguel's arm.

"I'M SORRY!!!" shouted Jedan, trembling in fear as Miguel shook him. "FINE!!! IT'S A GOOD NAME!!! It-! It doesn't sound like a fairy princess team at all!"

Star Platinum let go as Jedan gasped for air. Miguel returns to his mundane self as he was served tea once again by the trembling waitress.

"Geez, honestly..." said Jedan, finishing his coffee as he slams the mug on the table. "Bill, please," he said to the waitress.

After six nights... they decided to suit up...

They entered the Cabin of the San Diego Grimms and entered the Reapercave, formerly known as the Grimm Bunker. They entered through a trap door hidden in the garage that leads to a ladder. They entered down and entered the cave. It is much wider now with more rooms. On the center is Miguel's armored suit.

"This is my Reaper Suit. It's just a cloak, hoodie, boots, gauntlets, and pants infused with soldier armor. Also, it's bulletproof. Oh, and I have a voice-changer." said Miguel. "This is the same for all of your suits."

Anne's armored suit has a pink Spider-Man-like helmet with cat ears, pink limbs, and black torso armor.

Jedan's is an armored green suit with white Spider-Man-like eyes. It has white stripes all over it.

Jedan reveals Hierophant. Hierophant has yellow insectoid eyes with a white face mask that resembles a beetle's shell. It has white stripes all over and is mostly green and humanoid.

Jedan realizes something as he looks at both things.

"Why the hell does my Stand look exactly like my suit?" asked Jedan.

"Because why not?" asked Miguel. "But seriously, though. It's to distract your enemies."

"Very well," said Anne, suiting herself up. "Let's do this."

"Do you guys even know how to fight?" asked Miguel.

"Why would you ask that just now?" asked Jedan, as Miguel shrugged. "Yes. I know some moves from my martial arts... class... and Anne knows a lot of fighting styles."

"I am well-aware of Anne. But yours is-?"

"I'm good at fighting, jackass!" shouted Jedan. "Just give me a chance!"

"Fine," sighed Miguel. "Let's go."

The three hopped from one building to the other searching for

"Who are we finding again?" asked Jedan, as he used his tentacles to crawl around buildings with absolute ease.

"The serial killer who had been causing the disappearances of 300 people?" asked Anne, as she grappled to another building.

"Most of them are women. Some are young boys," replied Miguel, tumbling to the next building. "I'm searching for someone. His name is Patrick Fernandez. I've been trying to search him for months."

The three dawn above the building. Miguel suddenly stares blankly at the sky.

"You okay, Miguel?" asked Anne.

Miguel doesn't respond.

"Ah... you're allowing me to come out once again, Miguel JoJo?"

"Tch-..." said Miguel.

Flashes of the past appeared in Miguel's head.

"LET ME OUT!!!" shouted the voice in his head. "LET ME-!!!"

"Miguel?" asked Anne, grabbing his coat.

"Oh..." said Miguel. "Why? What happened? Where am I?"

"You almost let him out again, Miggy," said Anne, feeling sorry for Miguel as she hugged him.

"I did..." said Miguel. "They did this to me... My parents did this to me... I can't really do anything about that... They made me what I am... Two people in one body..."

"You can't blame them," said Anne. "They were only trying to save the world, Miguel."

"Psh," said Miguel.

"Ugh! Get a room, already!" shouted Jedan, as he proceeded to cackle.

"Honestly, Jedan," said Miguel. "The drug exchange is somewhere in a warehouse nearby."

Miguel takes out a GPS that links to the north from where they are.

"Let's go," said Miguel. The three charges.

The three snuck into the warehouse from an opening in the roof. The warehouse has a torn-up roof. Most of it is black in color. Its roof has cobwebs all over with some bugs crawling all around. The smell of urine entered their noses. They each landed one by one. Miguel first, then Anne, then finally, Jedan. The dust settled from their boots as they continued to sneak. There is a balcony that swung from two chains that are connected to the ceiling of the building. It's rather worn and it creaked.

A purr could be heard nearby.

*SHING*

*SLASH SLASH*

"What the hell?" whispered Anne. "Something's wrong!"

"Shush!" said Miguel, as he peeked at the drug cartel.

They're all dead.

Each of their heads has been decapitated clean off. Some heads were cut in half. They are wearing some sort of tattoo, which includes the letters, "D", "I", and "O" inscribed on their shoulders.

Miguel gasps.

"What the hell?!" Miguel asked himself. "No! Shit!"

A woman with a curvy body and large bust with an armored suit of her own appeared. She is 175 cm tall. She has a hood and white cloak. She has white pants and white boots. She also has a cat mask with small angry eyes for eyeholes of her mask. She has a red wig over her hair.

Behind her is a Stand that looks like a Knight. However, its right hand is just a retractable rapier.

She turns to see Miguel and the other two above her on the balcony. The three hide their heads and turn back to peek at her.

She's gone.

*ZOOM*

With a trail of lightning, she ran right before them in a nanosecond.

"Huh?!" asked the three.

The Knight-like Stand appeared before her.

"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" asked Miguel. "Those men... They were my kill..."

The woman silently stared at Miguel.

"Yes... feel the rage... JOJO!!!"

"Miguel?" asked Anne.

Miguel's eyes turn black.

"Oh, God..." said Jedan. "HIEROPHANT GREEN!!!"

"STICKY FINGERS!!!" shouted Anne.

"Star Platinum."

Suddenly, both of them are downstairs, and Miguel faces the vigilante known as Cheetah.

It thunders and starts to rain outside...

"Silver Chariot," she whispered under her breath.

Silver Chariot then charges and charges its sword towards Miguel as Star Platinum grabs the sword by clapping his hands.

"HORA!!!" shouted Silver Chariot with its strike.

"Wrry," said Miguel as Star Platinum used his clapped hands to slam Silver Chariot's head.

Star Platinum then punches Silver Chariot at the speed of light, but Chariot is barely injured.

However, Star Platinum's hand cracks as blood gushed out from the wound. So, the damage unto Star Platinum reflected unto Miguel, so Miguel's hands had the same wounds.

"K-K-!!!" whispered Miguel as he decided to avoid punching.

*ZOOM*

*POW*

With Silver Chariot's fist, Miguel is sent flying away and falling into some crates across the warehouse.

"Tch-..." said Miguel, as he slowly stood up.

"STAR PLATINUM!!!" shouted Miguel, as time stopped.

*POW*

Cheetah is sent flying out of the window and onto the ground.

Miguel then lands two stories down and land before the woman.

"Tch-..." said Miguel. "Look... Cheetah, right?" asked Miguel. "I don't know why you're stealing my kills, but take my prey again, and I'll break you. I won't kill you because we're on the same side. Consider that as a form of chivalry."

Miguel turns around as Silver Chariot attacked.

"HORAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"ORA!!!"

The punch did not damage Silver Chariot, but it was enough to send Cheetah flying.

Miguel approached her once more.

She struck once again.

"I know who you are, and that really pisses me off."

Miguel then teleports behind her and punched her from behind.

She then landed on the mud face first.

"Tch-..." she softly said.

Cheetah went for another strike with her rapier as Star Platinum teleported Miguel behind her. He then grabs her by the neck.

"You know how I know who you are?" asked Miguel. "Let's say, I could do things that allowed me to check what's under that mask, though, only for a split second."

Silver Chariot then struck again, and Miguel head-dodged. His cheek is then sliced.

"Wrry," he said. "Sliced my fucking CHEEK!!! ORAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Suddenly, tentacles came and grabbed Miguel, pulling him inside.

Hierophant's tentacles then entered his body as Miguel fell asleep.

Jedan nodded to Anne, as Jedan jumped away and hid Miguel.

Anne walked towards Cheetah.

"And who are you?" whispered Cheetah.

"Killer Kuta," said Anne. "We were told to hide our Stands as much as possible both in our public identities and as vigilantes.I'm unarmed."

Anne put her hands up and approached Cheetah, who backed away.

"I'm just here to try and stop you from fighting Miguel," said Anne. "Isn't that right, Jessica Polnareff?"

Cheetah's eyes widen from within her mask.

"How'd you-?"

"It triggered Miguel, Jessica."

Anne took off her helmet.

"Hey, Jessica!" smiled Anne.

"You..." Jessica growled as she woged into a Nekomata, a white-cat humanoid.

"J-Jessica?!" asked Anne.

She then zoomed towards her as Silver Chariot sliced towards her.

"STICKY FINGERS!!!" shouted Anne out of fear, as she gave Jessica an ax kick in the chin.

Jessica is then thrown away because of Sticky Fingers' strength.

"You're too slow, ANNE ZEPPELI!!!" shouted Jessica Polnareff, as she brought out her Stand and sliced towards her. Anne then backed away from Jessica's attacks. "YOU!!! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TOLD ON ME WHEN I HAD SEX WITH NICOLAI ABOGADO!!! YOU'RE THE REASON THAT VIDEO WAS CLIPPED ONLINE!!! YOU'RE THE REASON I WAS LABELLED A SLUT BY THE WHOLE SCHOOL!!!"

"I was making sure you'd stay away from Miguel!" shouted Anne.

"Miguel..." she gritted her teeth. "That asshole... He fawned over me acting like a complete loser... a complete creep... here he is murdering people because they probably took his ice cream..."

"They killed his mom!" shouted Anne.

"UGH!!! SHUT UP!!!" shouted Jessica, as her rapier slashed at Anne. "I CAN KILL YOU WITH A QUICK SLICE, BUT THAT WOULD BE TOO FUCKING EASY FOR A HORRID BITCH LIKE YOU!!!"

"Honestly!" shouted Anne. "I don't care if I was labeled a tattletale! Miguel needed to stay away from the likes of you!"

"Why are you even fighting for that creep!? THAT BOY ONLY WANTS ONE THING, AND THAT IS TO SLEEP WITH ME!!!" she smiled.

Anne gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Oh?! What's wrong? Did I strike a nerve?" asked Jessica.

"Can people please stop striking nerves!?" asked Jedan.

"You were less talky when you had your mask on," said Anne.

"It's called 'hiding your identity,' bitch," said Jessica. "And look at you, showing your identity to someone you were only half-sure is your ol' pal from high school!"

"What the f-?! WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS!!!" shouted Anne.

"Oh, please! You were just as popular as I was!" smiled Jessica. "You even hid from everyone your little friendship with Miguel!That's why he never loved you, Anne Zeppeli...Because unlike me, you never show anyone who you really are...A bitch!I, however, showed everyone what a BITCH I WAS!!!"

"Yeah, and quite literally nobody likes you," said Anne.

"Oh, please!" shouted Jessica. "I heard you lost your mommy and your lil' brother, Annie!"

"I was trying to find Miguel... the people you're hunting found me and killed my family... That's why I'm offering for you to join us!"

"OH, MY, GOD!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU SLUT!!!" shouted Jessica. "Miguel will never love you, you piece of shit simp!"

Anne's eyes went black.

"Oh, was that the last straw?" she asked in an uwu voice.

(theme begins)

Anne prepares her Stand, Sticky Fingers.

Suddenly, Sticky Finger's hand is launched towards her, as the hand struck Jessica's face.

"I'LL ZIP YOU TO PIECES, JESSICA POLNAREFF!!!" shouted Anne as Anne ran towards her.

"H-Huh?" asked Jessica, as Anne ran towards her.

Jessica tried to slice her but Anne simply spun around her, kicked her, and struck her in the back of her head.

Jessica spat some blood as Sticky Fingers charged from behind.

"BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA BUENA!!!BUEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" shouted Sticky Fingers, punching Jessica over and over again.

Jessica's head is zipped off, her torso is zipped in half, and her limbs are zipped off.

(Theme ends at 0:47...)

"Be glad I kept you alive, YOU BITCH!!!" shouted Anne.

"Why did you?" she asked with her eyes spiking terrifyingly.

"That was a lot of 'Bitches'," said Jedan.

"Because we know you from high school," smiled Anne, sweetly.

"Ugh..." said Jessica.

"I'm giving you a chance, Jessica," said Anne, leaning before her. "It's a chance to successfully bring down this guy. What'd he do to you, anyway?"

"He-..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! STOP IT!! STOP IT!!! STOP IT!!! NO!!! PLEASE!!! UGH!!!"

Sobbing and screaming could be heard from the back of her head.

"Whatever it is-..."

"The Boss raped me," said Jessica. "Yeah..."

Anne silently stared at Jessica as the rain got louder. All Anne could hear was static. Jessica smoldered in rage, remembering what the Boss did to her...

"O-Oh..." said Anne, silentkt. "Well... You want some revenge, right?"

"I guess... probably... OF COURSE, YOU DUMBASS!!!"

"Cool," smiled Anne.
