Pick A Fight With Destiny
(5 days remaining)
"The Pick Of Destiny" floated across the school, causing worry and distress to the majority of students with how intimidating it was.
It would sometimes chase students, for no apparent reason.
Currently, it was in the middle of the corridor where the council's room was.
(Creeeeeak)
Pick of Destiny:(turns)
Jojo: Yo.
Pick of Destiny:.....
Tenacious D: SKA-SKA-SKA-SKA!!
His fourth attempt to try and capture his sub-Stand, Jojo started with a barrage of grabs from "Tenacious D", but the "Pick of Destiny" was as always, nimble, and slippery.
(SWOOOSHHH)
It floated away at high speed.
Jojo: Apollo!
Apollo: On it!
With his "Rocketman," Apollo blasted off after the pick.
The two zoomed all around the school, with Apollo's speed slowly rising to surpass the Pick, but like the previous times they attempted this, "The Pick Of Destiny" escaped into a small slit into the air ducts where Apollo could not follow.
Apollo: Tch!
Annoyed at his failure, Apollo met back up with Jojo in front of the school, below the night sky.
Ever since they were transformed into college students, the days no longer reset, time passed normally.
Apollo: Can you locate it?
Jojo: I think it's outside its effective range. Cause I'm not able to pinpoint it.
Jojo: Somewhere south but that's about it...
Jojo:(sigh)...
Apollo: Why isn't it obeying you?
Jojo: It might have to do with my state of mind when it was created...
Jojo: Or it's simply so Tenacious that no level of fighting spirit can control it.
Apollo: You think it won't obey out of spite?
Jojo: An absolute rebel. Giving a command makes it reject you.
Jojo: Potential, I might never be able to use it...
Apollo: We'll get it. One way or another.
Apollo: Let's meet up with the girls. Perhaps they have some better news in finding "Yes's" users.
Jojo: Let's hope so...
The two began heading back to the dorms. Apollo not noticing the Arrowhead he had in his pocket was slightly glowing.
(Opening theme)
Makoto: PUSH!
7NA: HEAAAAVEE!!
With her Stand, Makoto put Lorenzo back onto his stump.
Makoto: There!
Makoto: Can you locate the user?
Lorenzo: Give me but a few moments...
Coco: Will this work?
Nany: Give it a chance.
Apollo and Jojo reached their location waving.
Apollo: Good evening everyone. Didn't quite expect you to find you all here.
Makoto: This stupid lemon tree said they could find the user if they were reconnected to this stump.
Lorenzo: My stump.
Nany: How were things on your end?
Jojo: Shit.
Jojo: "The Pick Of Destiny" is as agile as it is stubborn.
Makoto: What now?
Jojo:(shrugs)
Jojo: I say we focus on finding the user of "Yes".
Jojo: The pick is too much of a hassle to keep wasting time on.
Makoto: If you say so... Yo, tree, what's the situation?
Lorenzo: I know that they are deep below the surface. Give me the night to find a root.
Makoto: Fine. I'm going to, bed.
Makoto: Hey, Jojo, mind walking me back? I gotta few things I would like to talk to you about.
Jojo:?
Jojo: Sure I guess... Could do for some rest myself.
The two make their way to the dorms, as Apollo pulls out his arrowhead.
Apollo: Lorenzo, do you know what these arrowheads are?
Apollo: I've been meaning to ask ever since I noticed them piercing and giving more powers to users...
Apollo: And somehow letting them use "Around The World".
Coco: What are you talking about?
Apollo: I noticed these things in the flesh of Alex and Angel where parts of "Around The World" stood by them.
Apollo: There must be a connection.
Lorenzo: They hold many abilities... But they are not from my world. I know as much as you do now.
Lorenzo: The only one who would know more is Punk, the woman who controls "Yes"...
Lorenzo: And you, Apollo.
Apollo:?
Nany: Why would he know more?
Lorenzo: In my story, I mentioned a trio of people.
Lorenzo: You were one of them, Apollo, before your falling out.
Apollo:!?
Coco: So... Apollo knew Punk?
Apollo:...
Lorenzo: He did before being forced into the system.
Apollo: I... That was one of the reasons why...
Apollo: NO!
He clenched his fist around the arrow.
Apollo: That cannot be!
Lorenzo: Calm down. If I thought you were to blame... You'd already have a lemon in your skull.
Apollo: Still... It cannot be...
???: What an interesting predicament...
Everyone:?
Apollo's arm punches him across the face.
Nany: Apollo?!
Apollo: The bloody hell....?
A Stand arm then appears from Apollo's limb, revealing that the arrowhead had sunk into his flesh.
The arm of "Around The World" then began speaking.
ATW: I was looking for an opportunity to strike... I need the other heads to accelerate my recovery.
Everyone:!?!
Entering the dormitory, Jojo realized that Makoto was nervous. The whole time, she flipped her arrowhead between her fingers.
Jojo: You wanted to ask me something?
Makoto: Yeah...
Makoto: Wanna fuck?
Jojo:...
Jojo: Pfff... HAHAHA!
Jojo: To the absolute point!
Makoto: I'm serious.
Jojo: You don't say...
Makoto: Can I get an answer?
Jojo: I'd like to know the sudden reason why?
Makoto:... I'm kinda stressing out, okay?
Makoto: I want a bit of relief if you catch my drift.
Jojo: What are you stressing about?
Makoto: Punk's threat. We don't know what it is, or how to stop it.
Makoto: And... I'm kinda stressing out... Will we be able to stop it?
Makoto: Or... Will you be able to stop it?
Jojo:?
Makoto: "Around The World" can rewind or change the position of someone at a range...
Makoto: I have seven bodyguards that are basically a swat team.
Makoto: Apollo basically has a rocket. Nany a perfume bottle to change feelings.
Makoto: You're the only one with serious power that might do something...
Jojo: Makoto, just chill.
Makoto: Kinda the point of my question. So?
Jojo: Hmm...
Jojo: Sorry. But no.
Makoto: Can I ask why?
Jojo: Because of a thought.
Makoto: Huh?
Jojo: We don't have our memories, so what if we have someone outside?
Jojo: Even If I don't remember them, I don't cheat.
Makoto: So if you knew for sure, would you?
Jojo:(smirks) Hmmm... I'd still have to think about it.
Makoto:(rolls eyes) Ugh.
Jojo: When this is over, let's get something to eat.
Makoto:...(small smile) Sure, why-OW!
Jojo: What's wrong?
Makoto:(sigh)... I cut myself on the arrowhead...
Jojo: Hey, maybe you'll get a new power.
Makoto: Ugh! I doubt it...
Looking at her palm, the arrow was stuck inside.
Jojo: Oof!
Jojo: Nurse's office it is-
"Around The Worlds" leg popped out from Makoto's palm, kicking Jojo in the stomach, and launching him through a wall.
(CRASH)
Makoto: JOJO!
She immediately went to grab the arrowhead, only for her arm to twist around unnaturally and out of her reach.
Makoto:!?!
ATW: You were right to fear me, Makoto...
Makoto:!?
ATW: But you were wrong to play with me.
TO BE CONTINUED....
