It was the big day, the day that he would fine the grave of Cleopatra. Wait no; it was the day he would find the grave of Jotaro Kujo.
Technically he didn't have proof that Jotaro's grave was here but if the tingling sensation in his birthmark was anything to go off of then it would be the moment he had been waiting for.
"I'm sure everything will be smooth sailing from now."
Akira stopped at a sign,
"'Warning: Danger of Mudslides' that would be the lamest way for my adventure to end, Killer Queen activate flight mode."
"Miroo~"
Killer Queen apparated infront of Akira and held him behind his back. This mode was the fastest way of getting from point A to point B that Akira currently had. It was efficient, practical and safe.
The only con? It looked gay as shit. Luckily no other stand users were around anymore so no one could see Akira on top of a furless pink cat wearing GIMP gear.
"What's new Jo – Ta –Ro, we're coming after you. We're gonna solve that mystery." Akira sang a song that he thought up on the spot.
Flying to find Jotaro's grave was actually a very good idea. You see, using flight gave Akira a totally new perspective allowing him to spot something he couldn't have spotted before.
Among all the seemingly regular trees in the area there were a few that were a bit of an anomaly
A group of trees that looked oddly like a dolphin from the top down view with a boulder conveniently positioned at the eye of the Dolphin.
"I think that's it."
Stopping at a point near the eye, Akira carefully treaded the path towards the Boulder being wary of any potential trip wire's or pit falls.
"This boulder sure is Bizarre."
Ignoring the odd shape of the boulder, Akira read an inscription on the rock, "I am light as a feather, yet the strongest man can't hold me for more than 5 minutes. What am I?"
"A riddle huh, I'm guessing something bad will happen to me if I answer wrong."
"A breath, silence maybe even a shadow. There's a few answers but it's more than likely only one will be accepted. It's probably the one that would Jotaro's philosophy."
Akira thought for a moment then chose his final answer.
"The answer which would best fit the personality of my ancestor. It's probably this."
Akira called upon Killer Queen and smashed the rock.
"Who's got the time to waste on such semantics? I've got shit to do."
"Good grief, what's a kid like you doing here?"
(Jotaro's theme playing in the background)
"Does the music always start when you speak or is it just for me?"
Akira said to the floating purple figure.
"I haven't spoken to anyone in a while but I do remember something like that happening."
"I'm assuming the fact that you're a stand has to do with the whole dead for a millennia business and you weren't always a Purple figure."
"No shit Knucklehead. A Joestar's job isn't to point out the obvious."
Jotaro tipped a non existent hat as he said this.
"You're not wearing a hat, Old geezer .The tip makes no sense."
"Good grief, I'm the old geezer now, eh?"
This floating spirit was clearly more interested in just getting this over with rather than idle chatting.
"Phew. Listen up 'Strongest of the Heian era' you've already realized that I'm a Joestar so you want to know why I'm here. The truth is that I'm the last Joestar. Not just that I'm the last stand user."
"So 'The World'."
SFX
"What?"
"It's nothing. I accidentally stopped time mid – speech."
"So the Earth has only one stand user left and it's you, huh? How'd it happen?"
"There was a red haired woman and she killed everyone at the stand festival."
"Annoying bitch, giving me a headache in the afterlife. I don't know what this 'Stand festival' is exactly but I think I get the gist of it."
"I just want to know if you can help me defeat her. She kept coming back from the dead."
Akira spoke in a monotone voice to seem calm but his eye's couldn't lie.
Jotaro sighed.
"Kid normally I'd check if you had the golden resolve or the Joestar Spirit but I can tell your only goal is vengeance. If you go in like that, the only thing that's guaranteed is the true end of the Joestar lineage. "
"Sigh, The Joestar bloodline is cursed to face a destined enemy. I'm handing out my last bit of power for you, don't disappoint me."
Jotaro made a torn cap appear from who know's where and placed it on my head. He slowly disappeared into the air after that.
"What a cliche Tsundere ancestor. Killer Queen, You feel any different?"
"Mirooo~" Killer Queen said as he pointed at some dirt.
"You want to."
"Bite the dust?"
A week later
"4.8 million yen to smuggle me from Japan to Italy? Might as well take my kidney's as well."
Killer Queen looked at me funny.
"What? The money's insured anyway. It's the establishment losing the money the people are fine."
On his way to the boat Akira saw the local newspaper's headline.
"Explosion at the Bank of Japan, Millions in Cash and Gold Stolen"
"That's what we call the golden resolve, Am I right?"
(A/N : This has basically just been a prologue to the story. The Italy arc begins now and it's gonna be a lot longer and harsh on our MC than the finding Kujo Sidequest.")
