Session 34 (Season 1)

This is the thirty-forth episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Binding of Chains.

## A Little Story From the Past, Part 1

「DDR Requiem」 unveiled its new appearance as a mechanical ancient Greek archer, loaded a pink arrow reminiscent of the Stand arrow against Niente, before firing multiple various colored arrows at intense speeds with his ability 「Last Dance」, chipping away at him. Niente was furiously trying to stab himself with the arrowhead to no avail, tossing it in a rage. He then suddenly began speaking quietly, saying the pain would make him stronger, and that he was like a god, before engulfing the whole area in a flash of light. Niente stood in the same place, except with tall golden hair, and a rainbow aura surrounding him, and his voice in sync with three others. Niente referred to himself as a group, as 「Fantastic Dreamers」, before disappearing leaving behind a lingering thought in John, Jeremy, and Zachary’s minds. Melissa held in her hand a dress and a broken wand, realizing that Cherry was gone as everyone around her questioned who she was talking about. She had begun to break down in tears as no one knew who she was referring to, but her grieving was cut short as the island shook harder.

The island revealed a staircase underneath the floor, in which Jeremy saw his own Stand walking down on it’s own will. As the group followed it, they saw statues of various heads; one with curls, one with long hair and spots, and one with just normal short hair. They arrived in a massive chamber, occupied by DDR in front of one staff out of seven, each having an arrowhead on top of them. DDR knelt before it’s master, calling out to Jeremy to do what was meant to be done: reunite the power of Requiem to the world inside the turtle. Jeremy obliged and placed the arrowhead on the staff, causing the others to glow and to rise into the air. The whole room began to ascend upward, acting as a platform that lifted them up into the skies. The group readied themselves for what was next as the weather ran wild, and the sky turned a prismatic red as they reached a tower in the middle of the ocean that was as high as the heavens. They found an elevator with a keypad labelled 1-9, and a button labelled exit. The group debated on all sorts of combinations, before Jeremy began to input numbers that lit up: 9, 8, 6, 1. The moment Jeremy selected 1, the elevator rocketed up at a speed so fast that it knocked John and Zachary out while Jeremy and Melissa were able to withstand the force, seeing the world turn into a starry black void and then nothingness.

Jeremy and Melissa found themselves standing next to a mountain, away from a modern road, where Zach and John laid unconscious. As they were nearly hit by a pickup truck, the duo rushed over stopping the truck and picking the men off the road as they woke. From the back of the truck emerged an old man in a casual outfit, speaking in an Italian accent as he asked the group if they were alright. Jeremy asked the man where they were, being told that their group was in a village in Sardegna. The man was more than hospitable to the group, offering them a place to stay based on their very exhausted and ruffled looks. Jeremy tested to see if the man would react to DDR, throwing a fake punch to get no reaction from the man. He offered the group a ride on the back of the truck, and asked the group where they came, getting some responses like tourists while Zachary claimed he lived there. The man asked for help unloading dozens of fish in the back of the truck after arriving at a quaint little house, and the group offered their help while he made a comment about how his son would’ve helped. He said his son was embarrassed by his own name, but the man gave his name, Cristo, although the village knew him by Father Cristo. While unloading Jeremy was curious by the truck’s new but dated appearance, learning that the model was from 1980. They also learned that the date was February 3rd, 1985. Nevertheless, they moved the fish inside the house which had various religious items lying around. Jeremy and Melissa then moved the fish into a storage room while John and Zachary helped the old man prepare a meal.

Jeremy and Melissa discussed what had happened back on the Jambo Islands, about how Niente was coming for Piero, and about what happened to Cherry. By the end of their conservation, they embraced with a heartfelt conversation. Meanwhile, Zachary and John prepared a five-star meal consisting of a salad and some puttanesca, calling everyone over to eat while Cristo said that his son would be arriving soon to eat alongside the group. As everyone got seated, a knock on the door was heard, and Zach rollerbladed over to answer. He saw a young man with short pink hair, green eyes, wearing a checkered purple sweater, and brown pants. It was instantly recognizable that the man looked similar to the statues they saw earlier, but the timid young man came in after questioning who Zachary was. Cristo greeted his son, referring to him by the nickname Aceto. The young Aceto was shy to the group, even more so when Zachary asked if he was dating, flustered at the question. The group then asked if there was anywhere to get some closed, learning that there was a nearby clothing store, however Aceto jumped at the opportunity to take the group. After finishing their meals, the four went out to meet Aceto, who wanted a favor from the group, advice on dating. Aceto asked Melissa about what girls like, as well as any other relationship advice the group had while they went to catch up with Zach who was skating down the sidewalk.

Miracle why the fuck did you write all of this in Singola's POV it ruins immersion >:(

## End of THE WORLD, Part 1

The man with the razor-sharp hat charged at the group, beginning with Piero. As Piero thought his armor was able to protect him, the man’s hair rose like tendrils, and injected themselves into his forehead, leaving behind a bud of flesh as Piero’s body moved not of his own will. Kira proceeded to destroy the creature’s upper half, while Piero began to speak to the group about a man called “Lord Jojo.” Piero attacked the group while the real Piero was experiencing something else. He found himself in front of the mansion he was just at, although sunnier. Here he saw a young boy with dark blue hair, and another young boy coming out a carriage that stopped in front of the mansion, a young Dio Brando. The young Dio kicked a dog into the air, and an older man of a similar appearance to the first young boy came out of the mansion. The scenery suddenly changed and Piero found himself in a room with a stone mask and large staircase, learning that the people around him adopted Dio. The whole world around him began to disappear, but before it all disappeared he was warned that Dio was dangerous by an older version of the young dark blue haired boy. Piero was then asked by Dio to be a friend he could trust, to which Piero agreed. At the very last second, he learned the other man’s name: Jonathan Joestar.

Kira and Voz managed to restrain the crazed Piero, with Kira using her cell abilities to restore Piero back to his former self, causing the bud to fade away. When Piero woke up, they discussed what they each had heard, how Piero was talking about someone named lord JoJo and how Piero learned about how Dio lived in the mansion with a man named Jonathan Joestar. It was then that the mansion was engulfed in flames, prompting everyone to run in. A charred mansion inside with a pillar of rock surrounded by a spiral staircase, and they saw a silhouette moving up it. As they followed the silhouette, they saw several murals of various men, one of which Piero recognized as Jotaro, one of them being Giorno, while the other three were only partially familiar. Up at the very top, the group was met with a doorway. When the fire nearly caught up to them at the top, it stopped, along with any smoke in the building. The doorway was covered in purple thorns as something walked up the pillar, before jumping off at the very top to reveal itself. It had a stone mask piercing it’s head, and it’s hands glowed with yellow energy. Piero recognized the figure as Jonathan Joestar as it’s mask soon fell off their face.

He reached out to Piero, wanting to show him something with the little time he had along with the others. Taking Jonathan’s hand, Piero jumped off with him, and Voz followed as well. On the other hand, Kira was left by herself up at the top of the staircase, and to check the door. She opened it as the thorns unraveled themselves, finding herself in a white room. Here she met a dark skinned man counting prime numbers, who used them as a calming ritual. The two shared a similarity in their habits, and Kira learned the man did not know his own name, only existing in the realm. Kira told the man about her journey, including encountering Jonathan Joestar, the last name of whom intrigued the man. The man showed Kira the mark of a star on his body, as well as the star shape in his hair. Being prompted to touch the mark, Kira then saw the Earth from outer space, getting pulled closer by a force as said by the man, the force Kira recognized as gravity. Falling down they encountered a modern road, with vehicles floating in mid air as a golden staircase was in front of her, which the man was ascending. He called Kira over to the staircase, asking her about who she trusted, and told her to be willing to trust before wishing her luck as he ascended the staircase and light came from his body. Kira then found herself on the deck of a ship where people were jumping in a panic. Trying to get off the ship, she saw a man in a burning room holding something, the man being Jonathan Joestar. Kira proceeded to jump off the ship with a wooden board and floated in the water, until she saw a long box in the distance. She swam towards the box to find it had DIO written on it, and then opened the box.

Piero and Voz managed to safely land on the ground after Jonathan had disappeared, floating gently onto a brick road in a rough looking alleyway. They found themselves in a run down street, not modern but not ancient. They went to find anyone they could, finding a pub with lots of yelling from the inside. Piero went to check the inside, finding a young Dio playing chess for money. Piero waited for the tense man playing against Dio to finish, but after seeing the man slam Piero’s head on a table he stood up for Dio and told the man off. Piero helped the young Dio clean himself up, who wasn’t keen on Piero’s kindness. Outside Voz encountered the man who was yelled at by Piero. Voz tried to convince the man of his abilities to turn water into wine, going into the tavern to get some water while viewing Piero who frightened Dio with his Stand ability, by creating a little cat which he would later name Aero. Piero went to look for Voz, finding him in the tavern as well with a glass of water. They split off as Piero went to leave the place while Voz tried to find the man he saw. Piero encountered the young Dio once more, entering a run down building to find Dio’s father, physically abusing the young boy. Piero followed the boy as he left the house, trying to talk to Dio while getting minimal responses as Piero related to Dio in terms of his family life, before finding that Dio had disappeared into an alleyway. On the other hand, Voz encountered the man he spoke to earlier, only to find the man’s face had changed into Dio’s, and his clothing became fancier. The older Dio was drinking as Voz tried to talk to him. This Dio was intrigued that Voz was alone out in the streets, prompting him to test out his own Stone Mask on Voz. As he placed it on Voz, and was nearly about to stab him, Voz instinctively knocked the dagger away. Dio ran into an alleyway, with Voz giving chase, before the alley disappeared.

Kira, Piero, and Voz found themselves back at the top of the staircase, back in front of the door which was now thornless. Voz and Piero shared their experiences when the group suddenly heard quiet laughter behind the door. Behind the door was Dio holding a diary in his hand, the entire Heaven plan. Dio sensed there was something wrong with the group, feelings of distrust towards Dio. Voz was distrustful of Dio after having experienced nearly getting the mask used on him, along with some bits from Kira. Dio said that he had to confess something to the group, his sins. Dio confessed the numerous lives he had taken for his own benefit, along with manipulating others, and killing Jonathan Joestar’s father. He also said he was responsible for ruining the lives of Jean Pierre Polnareff and another man Voz had encountered, Noriaki Kakyoin. He was also indirectly responsible for the creation of deadly Stand users including a serial killer and the ex-boss of Passione. He said he had one last request to all of them, a true fight, to which everyone obliged to. Piero and Dio began to clash with sword swings and punches. Dio demonstrated his time stop on Piero, blowing him away as Voz stepped in and burned Dio’s eyes with acid. Kira tried to shoot a bullet at The World, slightly scathing the Stand. Piero stepped in to barrage Dio, leading to a series of punches between the two....
