Session 28 (Season 1)

This is the twenty-eighth episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Binding of Chains.

## Fear of the Dark, Part 1

Fugo, Jeremy, Kiss, John and Melissa walked through the City of Orme, with the latter duo being congratulated for their victory in the tournament before arriving at Spruce's location. Noticing the five, he took them back up to the ship after some quick conversation and went to work asking the group some questions. He had on the table a stone mask made of stone, something Jeremy & Fugo recognized seeing in the pyramid/temple area and especially recognizable to Kiss, nearly sending the ancient man into a state of shock. Spruce revealed the status of an isolated island called the “East Island”, and that fires ran rampant across the island as well as strange creatures. When Kiss regained his sense of thought, he explained to the group that the device is used to create beings called “Vampires”, and told the group of the ways to kill them such as through an art called Hamon. Kiss applied a method to give Melissa, Johnny, and Jeremy the ability to use the art. With this, Kiss stayed behind to detail Spruce about more information while the other four went off to explore the rest of the civilization, and specifically to figure out what the king had been doing the whole time.

They walked through the smoldering civilization and stumbled upon the smell of burnt flesh, and more importantly the movement of a strange creature inside of an abandoned home. Checking the home, a spider-like creature was crawling under the basement, with its legs made up of several human arms. The four fought the creature, which was trying to make its way up Melissa’s body. After a strange battle of the creature crawling in and out of the basement, Fugo crushed it with Purple Haze’s foot and at the same time dragging out a body from the basement with clothing on it from the real world. Fugo seemed somewhat unnerved from the body, but the group had to move on in order to head to the king’s castle...

## The New Recruits, Part 4

Ruun and Flavia made their way down the rectangular hole, only to stumble upon a tight tunnel. Flavia had fallen asleep from all the action against the worms, leaving Ruun to venture through the tunnel As he went through, he saw several perfectly spherical holes before stumbling upon a constantly spinning sphere. He tried grabbing the sphere using his Stand, but the result of this was his body spinning constantly until he phased through the ground itself. After a moment of free falling, he found himself in a strange and dimly lit room. Here he tried to figure out where he was, noticing only an animal pen in the room. Upon forcing his way out of the room, he met an imprisoned pink haired lady who wasn’t able to quite see him. He helped her escape, and following instructions retrieved what was inside of the animal pen, a turtle with a key stuck inside of its shell.

The two of them made their way up an elevator while under the pressure of an alarm going off at the same time. After being forced to stop at another floor, they crawled through some vents until Ruun stumbled upon someone quite close to him, sleeping in a hospital room. He rushed past her and the pink haired lady followed, and they went onto an elevator Ruun was knowledgeable on. As they made their way up, they realized they were being attacked by some unknown enemy, prompting Ruun to Stand jump all the way up to the first floor alongside the lady. They made it up to the first room, a bar area and when they tried to escape to the surface they saw the sky was this murky yellow color...

## A Wonderful Tale, Part 5

Ben had come back to his companions and had realized something was quite wrong with them, due to their masks and strange behavior. He knocked them aside and went into the bushes to search for Umbra, who was being attacked by Ben’s steampunk robot that he had created the previous session, with a mask attached to its face as well. Ben shut the bot down and grabbed Umbra to keep her safe as he went to face off against his controlled allies, through which the user of the Stand was taunting Ben by using their voices. He tried to make the right side of their masks vanish, only to see that they were still under the user’s control which led to him getting into a struggle against Nai, turning him into a catboy through his ability. Ben then broke Schietta’s back, but not before figuring out where the user was. As he was about to go, he saw “Nai” cutting a rectangular piece of his skin off. Following this, he jumped straight to the roof of the villa to find the man, who was watching the fight from the roof and wearing his own mask. After snapping the man’s neck with an uppercut, Ben proceeded to destroy the man’s mask after knocking it off him and killing the man on the roof. He went on to find Fiume tied up in the attic, freeing her and taking her back to the car to heal his companions. After some momentary healing, Ben got in the car to begin driving back to Naples with the others. It also seemed most of them began to fall asleep after all the fighting...

## The Road to Heaven, Part 5

Kira spent her time searching through the rest of the documents containing information about all the people she had traveled with from Hawaii and Italy with some very biased views on some of the people, before stumbling upon a new application. On it’s activation she saw a beach and noticed that it was possible to interact with the environment, moving towards a beach chair and seeing a glimpse of something before the whole computer shut off. Piero, following some target practice with his new weapons given to him by Thomas, decided to go back into the house when he saw that the lights were becoming strangely dimmer. Upon arriving, he saw Kira and Thomas staring into a reflection of themselves on the screen, with text appearing on it in response to their words. After some suspicion, Thomas shut down the power in the house and made everything seem normal again, even going outside to destroy the hard drive which responded to him in morse code as he was about to do the deed.

Following this, Kira had a dream of a bizarre town where she was driving around with a severed hand in her car, as well as having a familiar victim trapped inside a bag in her house. She then went on a date with Bradley, where they had some sandwiches with strange wrapping, viewed a nuclear bomb with an orange X explode into multi-colored gas, covering the whole sky which was already a murky yellow. Her date was cut short when a feminine figure attacked her in a yellow & pink fog, stabbing her through the chest with a blade and waking her up.

During this, Voz was having a strange dream about a town like his own. Going into his house, he looked around until he stumbled upon a person with no face, with a body like his that cracked like glass on touch. He found an envelope, opening it to see an arrowhead and subsequently getting sucked into a void where there was nothing but a turtle.

Afterwards, he would wake up and meet up with Piero, where the two had a small discussion before encountering the diamond drone Piero had fought earlier. The drone drilled it’s way into the house from the ground, attacking Voz. The ensuing fight tore up most of the landscape, but with the arrival of Thomas, Voz and Piero were able to immobilize this nearly unbreakable device. They found however that the device had some writing on it, “THE INN”, and the three rushed over to the building. Here they found two innocent people sketched inside of bedroom walls in fear...
