Session 21 (Season 1)

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

## The Tournament in Orme, Phase 2

Beginning from the end of Phase 1, Flavia, Fugo, Jeremy, Kiss, Piero, Ruun, as well as Benjamin, Bradley, and Johnny and Steel were gathered in this small waiting room waiting around patiently for more information from the announcer.

Then comes the beginning of Phase 2, where the challengers had to survive a night in the wilderness alongside their team flag which was given to them right at the beginning. Benjamin and Bradley got their own flags, but Steel and Johnny got a team flag as well as the main 6 getting one team flag. During all of this, the woman from last session began speaking to Ruun once more and poking at him with questions and information about him and his sister. After everyone was ready, they set off to find places to camp out for the rest of the night in the wild.

The obstacles that faced them were these orange flowers that were said by the announcer to make one sleepy, so the main 6 avoided these flowers to set off for a cave where they tried to camp out for the rest of the night. During their stay at the cave everything seemed to go well with some of the [Emergency Rush] Sets having a brief talk with Jeremy. Then, some rod covered in tape got thrown into the cave the group was in and forced them to leave with Flavia taking some of the explosion damage. Immediately following the explosion was this sparking, orange beam that left scorch marks on a tree after missing Kiss, who recognized it as the Ripple. Immediately after, Jeremy begins to try and figure out where the attack came from and only sees the shadow of a person behind a tree. Nevertheless, he still runs over to check while the others try to run away from the fighting area and Flavia going off to do something in secret.

During this, Steel and Johnny were trying to survive the night by walking through the woods and during this moment they saw Benjamin and Bradley. Benjamin uncontrollably began to attack Steel and Johnny, leading to a race to try and find out where Alexa was under the assumption that she was the cause of Benjamin’s sporadic attacks. When they all ran out to find this attacker, Fugo, Piero, Ruun, and Benjamin stumbled upon one another and were attacked by these shadowy arms.

The split off members were attacked by these shadowy arms which immediately began to try and drag Fugo and Piero down in the ground but they were saved with the help of Leader from Flavia and thrown back by Benjamin to the cave area to get back to Flavia and Jeremy. During this, Flavia and Jeremy did not have too much success finding the user and Jeremy only saw her shadow. After regrouping, Flavia, Jeremy, and Kiss set their eyes out on Benjamin by stunning him and removing his cybernetics as well as taking his flag. Before anything happens to him, Benjamin begins to talk about things involving the cult and including how he was the cause of a lot of events. This caused Piero to have a breakdown while Flavia prepared a rush attack on Benjamin, only to be stopped by this shadowy barrier. Flavia tried to break through the barrier using her Stands only to be stopped by Jeremy to prevent her from getting hurt. Following this, Benjamin made a Stand leap far away from the group and to somewhere safe and the group was met with the shadow of “Alexa”, who just applauded the group…

## His Wonderful Stand, Part 4

Meanwhile, Kira and Piero had just finished off Niente and were about to leave before hearing someone speaking from the mantle. After pulling it off, they saw this translucent woman with dark hair and a blue dress, connected to the mantle, who kept on calling Niente her “boss”. When Kira took her away, she begged her to bring her to bring her back to Niente and ran back as Kira left the mantle with Piero’s collapsing pocket dimension, leaving alongside Piero and Cherry. The three returned to the room they were in previously and began to try and search for the arrowhead one last time, before finding it inside of a stone pedestal and leaving with it. That’s when they noticed the area had gotten more humid and eventually got filled with vapor as they progressed upwards and back out. By the time they made it to the front entrance, the whole city was filled with fog. That’s when they decided to head back to the festival area right away on Piero’s new flying creature, only to be attacked by icicles. They charged the attacker to find it was Niente, except with blue hair and a halo hovering above his head. Piero charged Niente and Kira ripped off the mantle from the man again, turning his hair back to his original brown color. Piero then knocked Niente to the ground, and the two finished him off with a fiery explosion and practically destroyed his body again after he called out to the mantle with the name Fiume. Following this, Kira and Piero began interrogating the woman only to have her start crying, but they realised those tears were actually going towards Niente and had healing properties. After being healed, Niente slowly disappears and tries to take his mantle with him to no avail, leaving it behind after Piero put it on himself, changing his hair to blue. Once the fight was over, they were greeted by the cloaked fortune teller again who told the two that Michel wanted to see them as and that the fortune teller’s son was currently healing him.

When they made it back to the festival, Michel was inside of a tent along with the fortune teller’s son, the leader of Passione II….
