## The Tournament in Orme, Phase 3, Part 4

Jeremy spent his time in the spectator stands, watching as Melissa and Johnny fought against Alexa. It looked like the battle turned in favor of the duo, as they wore her down until something strange happened. Her appearance completely changed and while he was watching, Jeremy recognized her. Using her new look, she tried to convince Melissa and Johnny to let her win, however they did not listen to anything she was saying. John struck her with a sneak attack of thorns and Melissa knocked her off the stage with a hard shield throw. After letting Alexa run away, Kiss stealthily trailed her until she was alone in her tournament room. This was where Kiss shocked her unconscious, leaving him and Jeremy to decide what to do with her. Piero got involved on the earpiece he gave the two and they eventually decided to kill her. After struggling with it, Jeremy and Kiss crush her windpipe and Kiss destroyed her body. However, he found a hard drive located where her head was and sent it to Piero utilizing the earpiece construct. Afterwards, Jeremy mainly spent some time alongside Melissa and the contestants relaxed until it was announced that the final fight would take place: Bradley vs Johnny and Sergeant Steel.

## The New Recruits, Part 2

At the same time, Flavia and Ruun were exploring the outside of the City of Hearts in an attempt to locate any scraps of technology they could find along the path Flavia took to get into the city. They managed to find some broken cassette tapes, until something strange happened when they tried to head to where Flavia saw the destroyed plane Kira and Piero left on. Here the duo were surrounded in a thick fog, seeing some strange silhouettes. Ruun saw the silhouette of someone close to him, except every time he moved towards it, it moved forward the same amount. On the other hand, Flavia saw silhouettes of her past, a courtroom. Both of them were being taunted by a man and a woman’s voices respectively, with Ruun being encouraged to fall into a pit of spikes for his actions. When the two were not budging from the comments, they saw each other again. Ruun dispelled the fog as he heard water headed towards them, which struck Flavia to a cliff edge. Ruun saw the person from behind a tree, running up to it and trying to strike at them. Flavia sent her Stand to attack as well, hitting the enemy with some drugs. It was at this moment they saw a person who looked like half a man and half a woman. This person gave the two their next assignment, to retrieve a cultist on another island and gave the duo a card to teleport there, leaving them walking down a mountain once they arrived.

## A Wonderful Tale (Part 3)

Elsewhere, Benjamin was fighting against the hitwoman he had just met. After a bit of conflict between the two with some clashes between her hammer and Ben’s sword, he learned her last name of Destruere. She unleashed several explosions, but Ben won the fight after incapacitating her. He got her to help him, learned her first name was Schietta, and the two grabbed Nai and continued back only for Ben to stumble upon a strange cut in the road. After some suspicion, he picked up a shortsword that happened to be in the hands of the hitwoman and they drove off to her apartment. At the apartment Nai and the girl were both waking up, and around this time the girl revealed her name to be Maledatta Umbra. Ben handed Nai the sword, believing it to possibly be his Stand and its ability to be one he was quite familiar with from his experiences in Hawaii and Italy. Ben also learned why Nai was working with the mafia in Italy, having to do with the Japanese yakuza. Once the five of them got settled Ben created a nice dinner for the group to eat before setting out further in Venice to retrieve Fiume Sacerdos, a water manipulating party girl.  As he was about to leave the building however, Ben learned a small detail about Nai’s past left unmentioned by him…

## The Road to Heaven, Part 3

Elsewhere, Kira and Piero were making their way back to the inn in order to recover from the previous fighting. As they were heading back Kira began to adopt a colder attitude while they were heading back. When they arrived near the inn, they met a strange new man who was willing to help fix Kira’s spinal damage from her fall. The two hesitantly agreed to his help and entered the inn to find Dio holding a strange large diamond. Kira went to work devising a plan of attack against the “Diamond Killer'' by inspecting various people and setting up traps with the knowledge of his home and place of work. Piero went to discuss the issues that troubled him with his encounter with Flavia and Ruun at the City of Hearts, who seemingly attacked him and his companions there and what had happened with Fugo. Next, Kira went on to devise various weapons for Piero to create only for the strange man to offer his own help in the plan. He also performed surgery to fix Kira’s back injuries and took her back to his home through his flying metallic suit. With that, Piero went to help Dio with his issue of the diamond, which had wheels on the bottom of it. Upon further inspection, it began to move on it’s own until it began to eat a book. The book was the one the receptionist was supposedly trapped in, and after Piero took it away it began to follow him. This spiralled into a fight between Piero, Dio, and the diamond which ended with Piero burying the diamond into the ground. He sent his clones to search for traces of the killer beginning in the forest, and found traces of clothing and another diamond with strange engravings. He quickly went back to Dio, and the two left to head back to the man and Kira. At the man’s house, she was enjoying some time recovering and enjoyed a night’s rest where she had a dream of a strange Japanese town. Thomas would wake her up and she would spend her time making breakfast..

Meanwhile, a man named Voz was spending time alone in his home until he saw a duo flying past his house, a blonde woman and a man in strange armor. Taking notice of this, he followed them until he reached their home and began searching around, stumbling upon a piano room with a framed picture before being kicked out of the house by the armored man. As he went back home and was about to sleep, a naked man asked for some spare clothing. Voz agreed and gave him some clothing, before shining a candle light into the man’s face. With his face exposed, the man attacked Voz for seeing him and this led into a fight. The fight got to the point where the attacker’s leg was horribly burned by acid, leading to him fleeing around the house. Voz saw that the man was actually setting his home on fire, which prompted him to tear the house down to knock him off the roof. After destroying his own house, Thomas took notice of the wreckage and told Voz that he could come to his home. Voz eventually agreed and ran after the man and met Piero outside of the home...
