"Jotaro! Where the hell have you been?! We were worried sick about you!!!"

A red head with a noodle curl came running towards Jotaro. He stopped and began examining the brute for any signs of injuries.

"I'm fine, Kakyoin. I can take care of myself," the teen grumbled, taking one final drag of his third cigarette that night before putting it out and tossing the butt.

Kakyoin frowned and grabbed the discarded cigarette before throwing it away properly, "You know, Jotaro, you really shouldn't be smoking. And though it may be the apocalypse, that gives you no right to throw your trash everywhere."

Jotaro sighed and pulled down his hat more, "Yare yare... Kakyoin. It's been months now. You don't need to throw away trash 'properly'."

Kakyoin then noticed the large group behind Jotaro. He murmured to his friend quietly, "We can argue later, because it seems that you brought guests."

The cherry teen looked at the group and smiled, "Hello everyone! I'm Noriaki Kakyoin! I hope you're all hungry! We're about to have supper!"

The group of adults and teens were surprised to receive such a welcome from a stranger. While it may be suspicious coming from anybody else, for some reason hearing it from this happy-go-lucky boy seemed to put them at ease slightly.

Finally, Rick stepped forward and stuck out his hand, "Rick Grimes." Kakyoin smiled and shook Rick's hand, gentle but firm. "Well don't you all just stand there! Come on! Make yourselves at home," he said before motioning them all to follow him.

They were all led to a seemingly large fire pit, where a group of men and two women sat around. A man dressed in white with gold barrettes in his hair stood up and smiled, "Ah! It seems we have some guests! Welcome all of you! My name is Bruno Bucciarati!"

At that moment, Bruno then eyed all of the new guests before frowning and suddenly shouting.

"MAMMA MIA!!! LOOK HOW SKINNY YOU ALL LOOK!!! THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! YOU ARE ALL TO SIT DOWN RIGHT NOW AND PREPARE YOUR STOMACHS FOR A BIG MEAL!!! WE ARE GONNA FATTEN YOU UP!!! AND NO EXCUSES!!!"

Startled by the outburst, the group cautiously took their seats. Carol, however, smiled at Bruno, "Thank you for your hospitality, but really, we're not that hungry. We don't want you to starve for our sake." Bruno shook his head. "Nonsense, madame. We are more than happy to serve you," he said before turning to a blonde wearing pink, "Oi, Giorno! Can you help me in making a salad for our new guests?" Giorno smiled and nodded, "Of course, Bruno."

At that moment, a golden Stand appeared behind Giorno. The Stand touched some rocks, and out sprung forth large fruit trees and rows of vegetables.

Rick Grimes' group watched in awe as the fruits and vegetables manifested before their eyes. "I'll be damned...," Abraham muttered while watching an orange tree sprout just a few feet away from him.

This will clearly take some time getting used to.

As Bruno and Giorno prepared the salad, the bushes began to rustle. Everyone looked and prepared to fight. Suddenly, Tara's eyes were covered by hands. A British chuckle filled the air.

"Well well~ I didn't expect such a cutie on our team~," the British voice spoke.

Everyone whipped their heads around, the Stand users groaning while Rick and the others sighed in relief. A tall, buff brunette stood behind Tara, a cheeky grin on his face.

"Next you'll say: Thank you so much, kind sir," he said predictively.

Tara immediately replied, "Thank you so much, kind sir."

Her team was flabbergasted, surprised that he predicted it correctly.

How does he do it, nobody knows...

Suddenly, a hand slapped the brunette on the back of his head.

"Mamma Mia, JoJo! That's not how we say hello to our new guests," a blonde exclaimed. The blonde wore a headband with wings on each side, and two pink triangles were underneath his eyes. He crouched down beside Tara.

"Forgive my friend, bella. He is a complete idiot. My name is Caesar Zeppeli," he said with a soft smile on his face.

Tara stared wide-eyed at him, not used to such kind interaction, "T-Tara...." "Tara... Such a beautiful name for a beautiful woman," Caesar said as he kissed her hand. Tara's face grew as red as the tomatoes in the salad. "Well my name is Joseph Joestar! And your name would be even more perfect as Tara Joestar~," the brunette said with a wink.

Another British voice came from the bushes, "Would you two stop bickering already? It's getting to be extremely rude. And did you say guests?"

An even taller, buffer, and handsomer man came out into view. His hair was a fiery blue. Despite his intimidating appearance, his eyes were full of gentleness. He looked at Rick Grimes and smiled.

"Oh! Pardon me for being so late! The hunt took a bit longer than I expected," he said as he set down two deers, 5 rabbits, and 4 squirrels. As soon as the fourth squirrel was put down, one of the boys screeched, "TOSS IT BACK TOSS IT BACK TOSS IT BACK!!!!"

A boy wearing a blue crop top and tiger striped pants leapt backwards and hid behind Bruno, shaking in fear. Carol looked concerned, "What's wrong? What happened?" Bruno sighed, "Forgive him, everyone. He's.... He's afraid of the number 4..... Very afraid."

The man looked up and seemed to panic, "O-Oh! I-I'm so sorry, Mista! I forgot! Y-You don't have to eat this one! I will, I brought it upon myself." Mista whimpered, "B-But then you'll be cursed, Mr. Joestar!!! It's the devil's number!" "That is a sacrifice I am willing to make, Mista. And please, do call me Jonathan. Mr. Joestar was my father."

Rick Grimes looked at Jonathan with interest, knowing that he was definitely leader.

This should be interesting...

"What?! No way!! You stayed at a prison?! That's crazy," Narancia exclaimed.

By now, everyone had become acquainted with each other and are now listening in on the newcomers' story.

"Yep! And that's when my sister was born," Carl said as he held Judith Grimes in his arms. Mista nodded, "I was recruited by Bruno after getting out of prison. At least thats something in common that we share." Carl smiled, "Yeah I guess so."

Meanwhile... Jonathan Joestar, Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, and Carol were having a meeting within Mr. President, a Stand belonging to Coco Jumbo, a turtle. For Rick, Daryl, and Carol, this was quite the experience. They were literally in a room IN A TURTLE. And they were just told the most bizarre story they have ever heard.

"So let me get this straight... Y'all mean to tell me that this isn't some sort of virus... But it's actually the cause of a stone mask...," Rick questioned.

"Correct," Jonathan said.

"...And y'all are from different times from a different fucking universe," Daryl stated.

"Yep," Joseph replied.

"...And this is all because of some man named Dio...," Carol finished.

Jotaro hummed in response.

There was a long silence in the room, as the three processed all of this information.

"Man I need to get shitfaced drunk...," Daryl said as he got up, completely confused and not knowing how to react to this. Carol stopped him, "Daryl please. Just sit." With a grunt, the redneck slumped in his seat again.

Rick then looked up at Jonathan, "Alright... How can we help?"

Jonathan smiled at Rick, "Well, you know this world better than any of us. So let's start from there."

"Sounds good to me," Rick said.

The two shook hands, unknowingly sealing everyone's fates.
