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

In the Tournament area, specifically in Jeremy’s room, the man recovered in bed while having some strange dream about a man referred to as Kars. In this dream Jeremy unwillingly launched at the person with a sword, but was struck down by blades coming from this purple haired and horned Kars person. This was when Jeremy woke up inside of the room given to him for the tournament, being treated by Kiss for the new arm he was given. The arm was wrapped around in a red cloth, and when Jeremy tried to remove it he had the same dream/vision happen to him again. Kiss told Jeremy to be careful, before telling him about Flavia and Ruun’s plan to leave with Alexa in order to do something ambiguous. After this Melissa began apologizing to Jeremy for the scarring done to his face and thanked him for giving her \*the arrowhead\*, and even giving him some cookies.

Kiss would explain to Jeremy the effects his new arm would have, saying that the more the arm is used the more memories of his Jeremy will experience. Kiss would leave to prepare batches of tonic for both John and Melissa, and with that Jeremy and Melissa were alone. After handing Jeremy some new clothes fresh from Polnareff’s Castle, Melissa asked Jeremy about the outside world and the possibility of one day traveling with him in it. Melissa would suggest the two go back to the banquet area for something to eat, and after getting dressed Jeremy followed her and they began telling their backstories:

**Jeremy** was born in Los Angeles, California, developing his Stand and used it for petty crimes until he realized how he could help people only 2 months ago, going on to use his ability for good.

**Melissa** was born in a place called the Star Land, joining the military following her father’s death. She met John about 2 years before the tournament, spending her time trying to fix John’s condition.

Just as they were speaking, it was announced that the next round would take place with **Johnny & Melissa vs Alexa**. Melissa would begin to head into John’s room and Jeremy and Kiss would get ready to spectate the duo’s match. As they made their way to the colosseum stands, they were approached by what looked like a gladiator, who handed Jeremy an envelope signed by Spruce. This envelope asked for anyone in the group to assist him in an issue going on in an island in the far east as soon as possible. Jeremy and Kiss decided to view the fight first before heading to Spruce.

This was when they were approached by Piero’s clone, who had returned from all the way from the fortress to check up the group. When he asked about Fugo, Kiss brought up that Fugo wasn’t feeling too well and Piero immediately recognized the symptoms Fugo was experiencing as the same type as Michel. The three of them quickly rushed into Fugo’s room to find him with his right arm missing. Kiss immediately went to work restoring Fugo’s arm and healing him of his condition. It was then that Piero’s clone would take his leave, apologizing to everyone for what happened a while ago and leaving them with earpieces.

At the same time, Johnny and Melissa began their fight against Alexa with the added boost from Kiss and their ace in the hole, the arrowhead. Melissa and Johnny would get considerable hits onto Alexa, with her slowing down most of the damage by draining her opponents energy and slowly regenerating but even with all of this she grew weaker as the fight went on…

## The New Recruits, Part 1

Flavia was transported besides a cliff and saw a burnt path leading into a forest, as well as the metallic wreckage of the plane Polnareff loaned to Piero and Kira a while back. Immediately she went into the forest to follow said destruction and tried to speak with Alexa inside of her head. When Alexa didn’t respond she instead felt the orange cassette she received vibrate, and it had turned into somewhat of a flip phone. Flavia picked up the phone and heard Alexa from it, telling Flavia to follow the path of destruction in order to find the city. With that Alexa hangs up and Flavia continued forward, going deeper into the forest until a thick fog began to block up her view. Flavia continued by following the tracks on the ground, until hitting a random wall in the middle of the fog. After going around the cold wall she tested to see if Alexa could hear her in her head, only to get no response every time.

Eventually Flavia reached the outskirts of the city, just beyond a field of flowers. Flavia went into the city and began looking for Ruun and soon found him fighting against another figure in the far distance, as well as seeing the location Alexa gave to the two of them to go. Flavia was stopped along the way by a coconut vendor, before meeting a strangely friendly wolf. This wolf would follow Flavia to Ruun, who she saw fighting a knight…

Before this, Ruun had been transported right on the outskirts of the city in the middle of the flowery field. He received the same type of call from the cassette tape, having turned itself into a flip phone much like Flavia’s did.

## A Wonderful Tale, Part 2

Elsewhere, Benjamin immediately went on the defensive after Nai had the arrow sticking through his neck, but not before the arrow also got lodged in the girl’s head. He received a note that told him to take the two to a hospital and that they were not enemies. Ben took the two to a nearby hospital and waited for them to recover. It wasn’t too long until he saw Nai again and demanded to know the date: July 1st, 1985. Ben went to see the girl and tried to make contact with her before being blocked by a very familiar shadowy arm manifesting around her sleeping body. Soon Nai would receive a call from inside of the hospital, and asked Ben to assist him on a mission to Venice. Ben agreed to help him, and they took the girl with them on a trip to Venice following Ben creating a car from his Stand. On the trip he told Ben of the assignment which was to capture a girl named Fiume Sacerdos, the daughter of a mafioso. As the two were approaching Venice on a long bridge, Ben saw they were being followed by a person wearing mostly red clothing on a motorcycle. The person got to the roof of the car and took Nai from the drivers’ seat, prompting Ben to stop the car and confront this person. She revealed herself to be some sort of hitwoman protecting Fiume. Ben also found out the woman was a Stand user, manifesting a hammer at her arm. In order to prove himself against the woman, she asked him to fight her and boasted her skills with her nickname the “Goddess of Destruction”.

## The Road to Heaven, Part 2

At the same time, Dio, Kira, and Piero were getting themselves settled in the strange town and sought a place to relax. The group managed to find a nearby inn and after Piero pleaded with the receptionist to let them stay for one night, they managed to get a room. After putting on some robes courtesy of the receptionist, they all got ready to rest for the night. Piero was relaxing in the bedroom when Dio gave him the offer to figure out how long he’s been traveling inside of Mr. President Requiem. He found out that Piero had only been physically traveling for several days, but his soul fluctuated between weeks and months. Soon Kira would go to take a relaxing bath, stumbling upon a large bathing area and began to wash up before hearing someone at the window and roof. She got ready and went back out and warned the others. Piero, having already heard someone on the roof as well, sent a bird made from a nearby cushion out and saw this figure on the roof of the inn. He managed to drag the person out into the woods and confronted him personally after the figure asked for a 1 on 1 fight. After destroying some nearby trees, he began to fight Piero. Kira and Dio on the other hand, found something back in the inn, the receptionist was missing and what was left was a book with sketches of clothing mysteriously identical to said receptionist. Kira went back to find Piero and when she did she saw him and the figure fighting. After she got some hits on the figure, he tried to make his escape by restoring the destroyed trees to flee. After making his way up, he jumped back down but not before Kira could tackle him mid air. Piero tried to assist Kira by creating spikes on the ground, but this ended up being beneficial in helping the man by forcing Kira into them as they fell. The figure made his escape, but not before revealing his identity as the “Diamond Killer”....
