Chapter Text

It was a Sunday, and Jonathan was returning from a picnic day with Erina in the carriage, happy because if the time he spent with his beloved one.
The day was sunny but with a few clouds in the distance, which merged with the distance of the sky, showing that there was no risk of rain; It was a warm day, but bearable. This type of weather was rare in the area.

They were enjoying their last days in England before taking a boat to the United States for their honeymoon, carrying the cursed load of his fake brother.

It was then that the man detected a person with strange clothes walking on the side of the road. It seemed that he was going in the same direction as them.
Soon the carriage passed him by the clearly greater speed that they had, and Jonathan shortly forgot about it and began to chat with Erina.

"I can not wait to be a mother, JoJo, thank you for this beautiful day, I love you so much."

"And I love you, Erina"

As soon as they arrived at the Joestar mansion, which was one Jonathan bought after his wedding, they went to change and Jonathan was in the library when they called him.

"Mr. Joestar, someone is knocking at the door," the butler announced.

"Thanks Elton, let them know I'm going now," Jonathan replied.

He walked through the corridors until he reached the front door.

When his butler opened the door, he found the man in strange clothes who was previously walking on the side of the road.
He had lime green hair, pink eyes and was wearing a jacket with a diamond shaped pattern, some grey pants, had some blue earnings and a strange hat.

"Jonathan Joestar, it's a pleasure to get to know you, sir." The man raised his hand to say hello. "My name is Ringo Smith, and I need to tell you something... We need your help"

Jonathan lets him into the house and takes him to the living room where the servants brought them some tea.

"What did you want to talk about, Mr. Smith?" Jonathan asks.

"Mr. Joestar, your help is needed, the world could depend on it." The man responds, with a nervous look on his face.

"What are you talking about?"

"Let me explain ... To start with, I’m not from this time, I come from the future. I know this sounds crazy, but you must believe me. I come from the year 2019. It turns out that in March of 2017, a man emerged , Outfield, who discovered an incredible power, and with that same power he controlled all the most important rulers in the world. In May 2018 he received the total power of the world. He made the world his ideal dream, where everything is the way he wants it to be. That brought many problems ... Since this man is not hostile, there have been resistance and wars against that power, but he could never be defeated, he has a whole army in his favor, influencing the injustice wherever he goes. . "

Jonathan was amazed, and at the same time curious, is this man be telling the truth? He seems like a kind person ...

"And you think that with my help they will be able to defeat him?" I ask.

"The Speedwagon organization hired me, maybe the name seems familiar to you, the founder knew you ... The subject is, this organization has known the history of the Joestar bloodline, and knows its potential. At the same time, we are the main organization of the resistance, and we believe that with the power of all the Joestar combined, it is possible to put an end to the power of Outfield. "

"You mean I have an important bloodline?"

"Yes, and a very powerful one, well, Jonathan,do you agree to help us end the dictatorship of Outfield?"

Jonathan, with his adoration for justice, did not hesitate.
"Of course, count on me"

"So this is the future?" Jonathan asked, amazed by the cars and the electric light.

"This would be your future, but my past" Ringo replied, to which Jonathan looked at him with a confused face.
"This is the year 1942. We came looking for your grandson"

"My grandson?" Jonathan asked excitedly.

"That's right, I heard that he lived around here in this era..."

"What is his name?... How does he look like?"

"Well, his name is Jose..." Ringo was going to say when a man a few meters away interrupted him.

"Joseph Joestar!" The man who had shouted this was buffed but fat, and was greeting another man, but that one was tall and muscular, with brown hair and green eyes.

"It's him, I can feel it, he has to be my grandson" Jonathan then turned to the brunette man, and hugged him. "It's nice to meet new members of the family"

"Excuse me?" This man said uncomfortably. "Who are you?"

"Joseph Joestar?" Ringo asked, to which the man nodded.
The other man next to Joseph said goodbye and left.
"Joseph, we need to talk to you about something... Do you have a minute?"

"Yeah sure!" He said and they went to a café near where they were, where they explained everything Ringo had explained to Jonathan before.

"And you..." He points at Jonathan "Who are you?"

"I... I'm your grandfather!" Jonathan said with a big smile on his mouth.

"Whaaaaat? But you look like my age... How could this be?”

"I’m from the past, it's an honor to be able to meet you... although it might be that we've already met, right? It may be my old self..."

There was dead silence for a few seconds.

"No, I never met you... umm..."

Ringo reacted to the fact that Jonathan's death was about to be announced, and quickly asked Joseph, "Well, Joseph, could you help us with this issue?"

"Oh yeah, just wait for me to say goodbye to Suzy Q, I do not want to worry her" Joseph gave a giggle.
Then they were walking together to Joseph's house.

Jonathan looked at Ringo "Who are we going to look for later?"

"We're going to look for your great-great-grandson, who's Joseph's grandson. We’re going to Japan, 1988. It would have been a year since he came back from Egypt, I think... I'm going to translate for you, although I know that Jotaro can speak in English, since his mother is American. "

"Is the mother the daughter of Joseph?"

"That's right," Ringo replied, and when they realized they had arrived at the house.

"Suzy Q, I'm back!" Joseph said after ringing the bell.

A pretty lady opened the door and greeted her by whispering "Hi Joseph, Holly is sleeping, so do not make too much noise... And these gentlemen who are they?"

"Jonathan, a pleasure to meet you" he introduced himself and kissed her hand, to which Suzy Q blushed.

"Ringo Smith, nice to meet you"

"I will go to prepare some tea, I have just baked a chocolate cake, it will go well along it" She said with a smile and went to the kitchen to prepare the tea.

"What a nice house you have, Joseph," Jonathan told him. It was a modern house for the time, but at the same time made for families. New York at that time was not what it is now. Buildings and skyscrapers were built in the 80s.

"Hahaha thanks!" Joseph said laughing "Jonathan, I have a question"

"Yes?"

"You also know how to use the Hamon?Grandma Erina told me you could use a strange power... Was that power Hamon? "

"That's right, I did some training with a friend, William Anthonio Zeppeli, and I learned everything I know now"

Upon hearing the last name, Joseph stood up and said "Caesar's grandfather!"

In the distance a baby crying was heard.

"Oh no, I woke up Holly" Joseph said facepalming.

"Joseph go see Holly! I'm busy!" Suzy Q ordered him from a distance.

"I'll be right back"

A minute passed until Suzy Q arrived with the cake and tea.

"I'm sorry, Joseph is always so noisy, but he's a good father." Suzy Q looks to the side where Joseph left, with a loving look.

A little while passed while Suzy Q was pouring the tea, and Joseph came back with a baby in his arms.

"I present to you Holly, my daughter"

"How cute!" Jonathan said. "May l?..."

"Yes, of course" Joseph carefully passed Holy to Jonathan.

"Well, Suzy Q, I needed to talk to you about something ... I need to leave for a while."

Suzy Q looked at him surprised. "What are you talking about?"

Later, Ringo and Joseph explained everything to Suzy Q.

"I understand ..." She said "Take good care of Joseph, we'll be waiting for you" he kissed her.

"Thank you Suzi Q" Joseph got up "I'm going to miss you"

And that's how the three of them went out, until Joseph asked Ringo "And how are we going to go to the future?"

"The truth is that I did not understand how we got here, one minute we were in England in my year and another minute we were here," Jonathan said.

"Well, I think it's time to tell you what the stands are, my stand, even if it's not good in battle, can be very useful, the power of my Stand is time traveling, but I can only use it one once a day, if not more if at the same time I want also to travel in space "

"And what is a Stand?" Jonathan asked.

"It is a 'materialization' of the soul, or fihhting spirit, it can have different forms, power and abilities. My Stand is called Sentimental Journey."

"I still do not understand anything," Joseph said.

"You’ll understand when we get to the next destination, but for today we have to spend the night here, so we can travel not only in time but also in space."

"You would have told me before! You can stay at my house if you want," Joseph said.

And so, Jonathan and Ringo stayed at Joseph's house, to leave for Japan the next day.

"Where in the future did you say we were going?! What the hell!" Joseph shouts in amazement looking around.

"Wow Japan is beautiful, once all of this is over I would like to go back with Erina when our baby is born..." Jonathan said with a smile.

Joseph approached Ringo and whispered to him. "Didn’t you tell him he's going to die before my father is born?"

"What do you think? They told me not to mention any deaths, just in case, and just look how happy he looks..."

Joseph looks at Jonathan, who is observing the tall cherry trees, and the pink petals that fall around him; He seemed to be enjoying the moment. "You're right"

Suddenly the three hear something strange. It sounded like screams, female screams... Would there be danger nearby? Then they decided to run towards the screams. When they arrive, they looked at a barrier of girls in uniforms yelling at a tall man in a Japanese uniform, wearing a hat.

"Yare yare daze. Go away bitches." The man yells at the girls.

Both Jonathan and Joseph could not believe what he said.

"That can not be my descendant, if it were me, I would keep them all! Heh..." Joseph gives a mocking laugh.

"How could he treat them that way? They are ladies, and he should treat them with respect." Jonathan mentions.

"Well, you better know now, that young man is Jotaro Kujo, your great-great-grandson, Jonathan, and your grandson, Joseph." Ringo explained to them.

"Kujo?" Holly married a Japanese "Oh, now it makes sense why we are in Japan, hehehe" Joseph gets a little closer to Jotaro "Hey, you!" He is called Joseph by his grandson, who was looking at him "Yes, you, come here kid"

Jonathan lets out a laugh. He found it hilarious how he called him a kid when the young man was the same height as Joseph. He even looked taller because of the hat.

"Who are you to call me like that?" Jotaro said coldly.

"Heyy, Be a little nicer to your grandpa! Come on, cheer up, we didn’t travel all the way here just so you look at us like that." Joseph says animatedly. But Jotaro ignores him and starts to walk away.
"What?"

"How did you expect him to react? You wouldn’t be the grandfather he knows, remember this is another year, Joseph" Jonathan says with a smile, and follows Jotaro. "Sorry about my partner's behavior there, you might not have understood anything"

"It does not matter, if you need directions on tourism I do not know anything, ask someone else"

"Wait, it's not that we're tourists, we have to talk with you, Jotaro," Jonathan said calmly.

Jotaro was surprised when he heard his name. "How do you know..."

"That's why, we need to talk"

The girls who followed him before watched with curiosity. Jotaro realized this and shouted at them to leave. The girls said to each other things like 'he's so beautiful~' 'you know he said that to me' 'in your dreams, he told that to me' 'ha, with that ugly face?' 'Oh, what about yours?', etc.

"Well, we can talk, but only if that weird guy there stops calling me kid" Jotaro looks at Joseph in the distance, who was with Ringo.

"Hey, I heard that!" Joseph got angry.

Then the four sat at a table in the park where they were.

"Well ... it turns out that he actually is your grandfather, Joseph Joestar, even if he looks like someone your age." Jonathan looks at Joseph. "And I, well, I'm your great-great-grandfather, Jonathan Joestar." He smiled a little. "I know this may sound crazy, but let Ringo explain it to you here"

Then Ringo explains the same thing he explained to Jonathan and Joseph.

"Wait, there's something I do not understand" Jotaro said "My grandfather had told me..." look at Joseph "this year’s grandfather, that Dio had stolen his body..."

"NOOOOOO!" Joseph and Ringo shouted and stood up from the seats. Joseph who was next to him whispered "we’ll explain it later"

"Well... if you don’t have Stands, are you going to use hamon?" Jotaro continued.

"That's right, look" Joseph shows him a hand surrounded by golden sparkles. It looked like electricity, but with more power. Jonathan did the same. "We’ve never seen a Stand, what do they look like?"

"I'm not sure if you’ll be able to see stands," Ringo said. "Only Stand users can see them... but I think the Hamon works in much the same way as the stands, I really do not know now that I think about it ..."

Jotaro summoned Star Platinum. It looked like Jonathan and Joseph could see it, because they were left breathless looking at that warrior spirit.

"And can you control that thing?" Joseph asked.

"Yes." Jotaro replied coldly. And then he turned to Jonathan and Ringo "Well, I have to go find something at my house before we leave."

"Does that mean you're going to help us?" Asked Ringo, and Jotaro nods.

"Do you want us to accompany you?" Asked Jonathan.

"Whatever." Jotaro responds and starts walking towards his house.

When they arrive at Jotaro's house, they find a beautiful traditional Japanese style house.
It had a giant park with ponds, bridges and beautiful plants.

When they entered the house, Jotaro's mother greeted him "Hi Jotaro, today you came back from school early." She said and noticed the three men standing behind Jotaro. "Oh, you must be friends with Jotaro, hello, my name is Holly Kujo, but you can call me Seiko if you want to..." Holly said but they could not understand because she was speaking in Japanese.

"Yare yare ... Mother, they speak English, not Japanese." Jotaro corrected her.

"Oh, well, are they foreigners?" She said, this time in English.

Joseph was totally amazed. "Holly?! You've grown so much!" He said and hugged her.

"Oh" Holly was surprised.

Suddenly the voice of an old man was heard from the back door
"Jotaro, long time no see! How have you been?"
It was Joseph Joestar, but from that year. The man then looks at the young guy who was hugging Holly. "And who are you supposed to be to touch my daughter?"

Young Joseph stops hugging her and looks at the man who is intimidating him. "Oh, sorry, I got carried away, you must be Mr. Kujo, right?"

Ringo looked astonished, and Jonathan had realized this. "Who is this guy, Mr. Ringo?"

Old Joseph looks at young Joseph with curiosity "No, no, Holly is my daughter, my name is Joseph Joestar... You look familiar... Have we met somewhere before?"

"Oh... That must be weird" Jonathan comments.

Jonathan, Ringo and Jotaro look at young Joseph who seems to be in shock. "I'm going to become that?" I mean, it's not that bad, but ...Oh no! this is too weird for me! "

It looked like old Joseph had realized who the man standing in front of him was, because his jaw dropped. "OH MY GOOOOD!" was the only thing he said.

"WE ARE THE SAME PERSON WHAT THE HELL" Young Joseph yelled.

"HOW IS MY YOUNG SELF HERE?! HOLLY SHIT" Old Joseph said.

"Well ... This situation is quite bizarre." Jonathan commented.

The only one who did not understand anything about what was happening was Holly, who was just spectating.

"Well while the old guys are shouting I'm going to look for what I came for." Jotaro leaves the room.

"What year are you from, how did you get here, what are you here for, how come I don’t remember this?" Old Joseph asks his young self.

"Uhmm ... I'm from 1942, I arrived with Ringo's Stand, and I'm too lazy to explain that, and no idea why you do not remember it... How old are you? "

"70 years, heh, we do look good for our age, right?"

"70 years! Wow, we do look good!"

The two Josephs began laughing out loud.

"I think... I'm going to bring some drinks" Holly said with a nervous smile. “Do you want to wait in the living room until Jotaro arrives?"

"No need for that, I'm here" Jotaro appeared at the door. "Let's go, bye old man, bye mother." He said and headed for the door.

"Where do you think you're going kid?" Asked old Joseph now seriously.

"We're leaving, the four of us... We have to do something." Jotaro looks at old Joseph in the eyes. He expressed to him that he had something important to do.

Old Joseph nodded "I'll explain it to your mother somehow, good luck"

And the four left.

"Where are we going now?" Asked Joseph.

"We are going to the village of Morioh, it’s here in Japan so we can travel there today, by train, the year will be 2000." Ringo explained.

"2000!? Wow, I think about that year and it sounds like such a distant future..." Joseph said.

"Well, let's head for the train station"
