In the year 2012
20-year-old Irene Kujo-Anakiss and 70-year-old Holly Joestar-Kujo were being attacked at the Kujo residence. Neither Jotaro, Narc, nor Sadao was answering their phones in such a dire time. Worse, Irene has a horrible gash in her leg and unable to run. The aging housewife was the only one able to drag the younger Kujo to safety.
"I'm sorry," Irene said, wincing at the pain in her leg. "I didn't want to drag you into this."
The young Kujo had dealt with some thugs back in Florida, she had thought Emporio took care of the problem. She had a gut feeling that her problem would travel with her to Japan, but she was an idiot. She foolishly hoped she could have a peaceful family reunion.
Holly smiles nervously at her granddaughter, "I was dragged into this long ago. " Holly glances at Irene's birthmark. "We're both Joestars, after all."
The intruder said something about 'Lord Kars.' Holly's father defeated a creature named Kars 74 years ago. Leave it to the Joestars to be eternal victims of circumstances.
When everything was quiet, and they were in the kitchen, Irene tells her grandmother to slow down. "I think I have a way to save us," Irene whispers, going into her purse and pulling out a fancy arrow.
Holly was intrigued. "What is it-"
"Sh!" Irene replies, hushing her grandmother.
If Irene remembered correctly, the arrow should awaken her Stand and give her some incredible powers; The Reqiuem Arrow. She doesn't understand why the fuck dad had this in the house. It's probably why some jackass broke into her grandparents' house. Irene shook her head. This is not the time to get side-tracked.
"Irene, watch out!"
Holly tackles her granddaughter to the ground, avoiding the enemy Stand's fist attempting to decapitate Irene.
"Granny?" Irene called her to Holly. Her grandmother went limp. Irene placed a hand on Holly's neck and felt no pulse. "Granny! Granny!"
When both Kujos fell to the ground, Holly fell onto Irene's fist and was stabbed by the arrow.
"This isn't supposed to happen!" Irene sobbed, "It only hit your shoulder!"
She kept shaking her grandmother to wake up, but to no avail.
The enemy Stand lunges at Irene. However, its fist stopped an inch away from her face. The Stand was covered in vines keeping it immobilized. The vines then squeezed the enemy Stand into pieces.
Then, another Stand appears beside Holly's body.
At first, all Irene could see was another set of tangled vines. These vines were blossoming into an array of flowers. Then, the young Kujo noticed the Stand's body. It was transparent, even to a Stand User.
"Don't cry, little star." Said the Stand, caressing Irene's cheek, pushing Irene's green and black locks out of her face.
"Grandma?" Irene whimpers at the familiar voice.
"I'll be right back. I'll bring help."
With those final words, the Stand opened a vortex and walked through it.
Then there was silence. Irene saw blood oozing out of a closet. She assumes that where the intruder hid. She also believes that he's in pieces.
The phone rings. Jotaro was finally returning her call. Irene picks up the phone.
"Are you alright?" asked Jotaro, "Where are you-"
"Where the fuck were you?!" Irene sobs, "Grandma's dead!"
