Okay, since people wouldn't shut up about it, (Although I can't really say I blame them for complaining about it in retrospect. Adding Japanese phrases to your English stories is actually really stupid the more I think about it), I've started to work on removing all the gratuitous Japanese from the story, namely, Joseph screaming nani. I'm sorry for adding that crap in early on, I just thought the way he screamed it all the time in the anime was hilarious. But yeah, I'm pretty sure I stopped doing that after chapter 6, so after that chapter, I can guarantee there'll be nothing else like that in the story.

Not much to say about this except I wanted to try my hand at making a JoJo/RWBY fanfic, so I hope you enjoy. Also, I aged Joseph down a year for the purposes of this fic, so he's now 17. I don't think it's that big of a deal, afterall, I've only aged him down by one year so he'll be the same age as the rest of the Beacon students. Anyway, enjoy!

"Now Kars, your next line's gonna be: "Did you plan this too, JoJo?" TO YOU!" Joseph yelled out, smug satisfaction at the sudden turn of events clear in his voice. As he predicted, Kars began to repeat exactly what the brunette claimed he was going to say.

"Did you plan this-"

Or at least he would've if a series of stray rocks from the volcanic blast didn't suddenly get launched into his waist. Thanks to the newfound power bestowed upon him by the red stone of Aja, the rocks themselves didn't harm Kars at all. The force and speed from the rocks did, however, send him flying even further up the Earth's altitude.

"DID YOU PLAN THIS TOO, JOJOOOOOO!?" Kars screamed out, his voice beginning to fade out as he was launched further into the sky. However, Joseph knew that if he screamed loudly enough, he could still hear him. So, with the last of his strength, Joseph Joestar threw his right fist into the air and screamed triumphantly to the heavens.

"YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT, JACKASS! YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING RIGHT INTO THIS JOJO'S HAND FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!"

It was a bluff of course, but as long as it would piss Kars off, the Joestar would be happy to boast he beat the ultimate lifeform through intricate planning rather than dumb luck. Once Joseph yelled this out, he took a series of slow, deep breath before he closed his eyes and spread his arms out, letting the feeling of success run through him.

"...It's over." He whispered, falling back lethargically onto the stone platform, opening his eyes briefly just to take in the sight of the many beautiful stars around him.

"Grandma..." Joseph uttered, his eyes starting to close slowly once more, and a look of content clear on his face.

"Smokey... Stroheim... Speedwagon... Lisa Lisa...

.

.

.

Caesar... I think we're done here." And once Joseph said this, his consciousness finally slipped away. He knew he was going to die here, but he didn't care. He managed to fulfill his destiny and avenge the person who he grew to love like a brother in the short time he knew him. And besides, at least he was gonna go out in a figurative and literal blaze of glory. There were certainly worse ways to die as far as he was concerned.

However, what Joseph didn't realize was that fate still had plans for him.

As the slab of rock began to enter the planet's atmosphere, the Red Stone of Aja, which was still tightly clenched in Joseph's hand, began to emit white and red electricity which danced through his body, the leftover Hamon energy from Kars' attack causing the stone to heal the Joestar's wounds.

Considering the capabilities of the Hamon, these effects weren't surprising, however, thanks to the sheer power behind Kars' Hamon, the stone began to regrow Joseph's severed arm. In no time at all, the bloody stump was soon replaced with a brand new forearm. The body part had a hot steam coming off it, indicating a certain... fresh quality to it.

However, this wasn't the only surprise the stone had in store. The electricity, which was still dancing over Joseph's unconscious body, began to increase in quantity until it covered him entirely. Suddenly, in a flash of red light, both Joseph and the stone were gone, leaving only a hunk of volcanic rock which was now speeding towards the planet.

It was thanks to this anomaly that Joseph Joestar was considered dead to the world. When Von Stroheim made it back to civilization, he told Joseph's friends and family exactly what happened, forcing them to accept the only possible conclusion: that the 17-year-old Joestar burned up in the atmosphere. The one who took the news the worst was Lisa Lisa, who never had the chance to reveal to Joseph that she was really Elizabeth Joestar, his long lost mother.

However, what none of them realized is that Joseph Joestar did not die. In fact, while his saga against the pillar men had come to an end, another one was about to begin.

Joseph Joestar: Hamon Hunter

"Oof, man..." Joseph groaned as he sat up, his memory hazy and his consciousness slowly beginning to return to him. "I feel sore all over, what the hell happened-?!"

It was at this point that the following facts began to dawn on the brunette.

1. He wasn't dead.

2. He could feel every single limb attached to his body. Including the forearm that he lost.

3. He wasn't dead.

Once these facts made their way into Joseph's head, he immediately checked his body. To his shock, instead of a bloody stump where his arm was cut off by Kars, instead found his bare forearm, completely restored! In fact, despite the sore aching that was radiating throughout his body, he appeared to be completely unscathed.

"I...I don't believe it! I'm alive! I'M ALIVE! AND ALL MY LIMBS ARE INTACT! HAHA!" Joseph yelled happily, throwing back his head and laughing, joy and relief clear in his voice. When his laughter eased into a slight chuckle, the brunette took a deep breath and looked at his surroundings.

"An alley? Jeez, where'd I even land?" After taking a brief look at his surroundings, Joseph found that he seemingly landed in some rundown alleyway. There wasn't any indication as to where he was, but considering he was in a dirty back alley, that wasn't all too surprising.

"Well," Joesph grunted as he forced himself up. "I better take a look around. Gotta find a payphone and let granny Erina and Speedwagon know I'm still alive." However, as the brunette made his way towards the exit of the alley, he felt his legs almost give out beneath him.

"WOAH! shit!" Joseph gasped out as he stumbled into the black wall, trying to steady himself.

"I'm a little shaky on my feet. I guess getting launched into space will do that to you." And true to his word, the Joestar's legs felt like they were going to give out any second. Thankfully, he had the perfect medicine for this type of ailment.

"Koooohh..."

After sliding down into a sitting position, Joseph began to take a series of deep breaths. In no time at all, he felt a soul-warming sensation run through his body and the numbness in his legs began to fade away. When the job was done, he got up and tested his legs to make sure they were working right.

"Man, is there anything hamon CAN'T do?" Joseph asked rhetorically, pleased with the healing effects it had.

"Well, I guess it can't tell me where the hell I am!" The annoyed Joestar muttered as he walked down another identical city street.

"Seriously, I haven't seen a single goddamn person in the last hour! What gives!?" Despite looking all over the place, Joseph hadn't seen a single person or payphone in these city streets, which was all very strange. This city clearly wasn't abandoned. All the buildings were in good condition, the streets were well maintained, and there were brightly lit streetlights on the sidewalks as well, making it feel like it was high noon despite the empty night sky.

"Oh good grief..." Joseph sighed, running a hand through his hair. "This is just rich. I manage to survive dive bombing an immortal god into an active volcano, getting my arm cut off, my leg nearly vaporized, getting launched into space and apparently crashing into the Earth, and yet I can't find a fucking payphone. If this was happening to anybody else, I'd probably laugh my ass off at their crappy luck."

However, as Joseph reflected on his zigzagging luck, he noticed something further ahead that caught his attention. At the corner of the street, he saw a brightly lit soda machine, it's colored lights practically calling out to him.

"Hey hey~! Small blessings! An ice-cold coke would make a nice pick-me-up right about now!" Joseph noted happily as he approached the vending machine, fishing a few coins out of his pocket as he did so. However, his grin quickly faded when he took a look at the contents of the machine.

"WHAT!? What the hell is all this crap!? 'Pumpkin Pete's sugar blast!?' 'Second Made pink lemonade!?' Wh-!? WHAT THE HELL IS A "BAJA BLAST!?" Where's the Coca-Cola!?" Did fate just want to screw Joseph over? It was bad enough that he was stuck in the middle of god-knows-where with no way to contact his family, but now he couldn't even enjoy a ice cold, refreshing beverage!? The Joestar could only grit his teeth in annoyance before he sighed and put 6 cents into the vending machine anyway.

"Well, beggars can't be choosers. I guess I'll take a bottle of that "Pumpkin Pete" stuff." However, despite pressing the button and waiting a moment, the machine wouldn't dispense the beverage. Writing it off as the machine being unresponsive, Joseph merely pressed the button again.

When the vending machine still didn't give him his drink, he started to get annoyed.

"C'mon you piece of crap, WORK!" Joseph said angrily, slamming his fist into the side of the machine. When it still wouldn't dispense the drink, a sly smirk made it's way onto the brunette's face.

"Okay," Joseph began, placing his palm in the side of the vending machine. "You want to play dirty, huh? Well two can play at that game! OVERDRIVE!" He yelled, surging Hamon through the vending machine. Normally, Joseph wouldn't abuse his powers like this, but considering he saved the world from an immortal god in a loin cloth, he figured nobody would really care about something like this in the long run.

After unleashing the power of the sun through the vending machine, a crap-ton of drinks started pouring out of it, along with a lot of coins in the change dispenser.

"Ha! Eat shit you hunk of junk!" Joseph said triumphantly, taking two glass bottles of Pumpkin Pete. He was about to open up the bottle and take a sip when the coins from the machine caught his eye.

"That's weird," Joseph said, kneeling down to get a better look. Upon closer inspection, Joseph saw that these coins came in a variety of different colors and had some odd engravings on them.

"I've never seen money like this before. Just what country am I in right n-?"

*CRASH*

Before Joseph could finish that sentence, he heard what sounded like glass shattering and an explosion around the corner.

"Finally, somebody's nearby!" Joseph exclaimed, completely ignoring the explosion's implications in favor of finding somebody who could tell him where he is. Wasting no time, the muscular brunette got up and ran around the corner, and he was a bit confused by the situation in front of him.

"...The hell? Is that girl holding a giant scythe…?"

(A few moments earlier)

"...Are you...robbing me?" Ruby Rose asked the man in the black suit in front of her, who was currently pointing a curved red sword at her.

"Yes, I am! Now put your hands up!" He answered, clearly annoyed at Ruby's apparent obliviousness to the situation.

"Oh!"

*CRASH*

The next moment, the man was sent flying out the window of the From Dust Till Dawn store and sprawled onto the street. While the rest of the thugs were put on guard by this and readied their weapons. Their leader, a man with a cane, a bowler hat, cigar, and orange hair, only looked at the girl who jumped out the broken window with curiosity and slight annoyance.

Ruby, who was holding onto Cresent Rose in it's rifle form, quickly morphed it into it's scythe form and readied herself for the upcoming onslaught.

"Excuse me!"

However, before Ruby could attack or the orange haired man could sic his underlings on her, a masculine voice spoke up from behind the crowd of gangsters, drawing everyone's attention to it, and what they saw was unexpected, to say the least.

Standing behind the crowd of men was a muscular 6 foot tall man with a handsome face and slightly spiked brown hair. The man in question had a very strange wardrobe, consisting of a dark green crop top which showed off his prominent abs and a light green pair of cargo pants. It was also worth noting that he was wearing gloves and cowboy boots, along with some wrappings around his wrists. Before anybody could question just what the deal with this bizarre man was, he spoke up once again.

"Ah… yeah, look, sorry about interrupting... whatever it is you people are doing, but I'm a bit lost. If any of you guys could just point me to the nearest payphone, that'd be great." He explained, biting his lower lip slightly as he took in his surroundings.

'...Is this guy serious...?' Roman Torchwick thought, dumbfounded, as he looked at the gigantic man in front of him. This really was shaping up to be a bizarre night. What was supposed to be a simple "go in, get the dust, and leave." job turned south the moment that red huntress wannabe started shooting up his employees. And now, he had to deal with this big guy? It all seemed rather contrived, honestly.

If this was any other person, Roman would've blasted them with his melodic cudgel and called it a night, but there was something about this man in front of him that suggested he do otherwise, and wasn't just because he looked like he could snap a man in half like a matchstick. Just by looking at him, Roman could tell that this guy emitted an aura different from anything else he'd ever seen before, and he knew it wouldn't end well if he gave him a reason to be out for his blood.

'I better just tell him what he wants to hear, then I'll deal with Red over there.' However, before Roman could point Joseph to the nearest payphone (which was conveniently far away from), one of the men he hired walked up to the brunette and pointed his sword at his neck.

"How about this instead?" The man snarled. "Why don't you give us everything on you and get lost, and WE won't dice you up? Sound fair, dumbass?" He mocked, causing Roman to slam his palm into his face, both annoyed and dumbfounded by his hired help's idiocy.

'Good grief, I knew hiring these idiots was a bad idea. Can't they see this guy is bad news!?' Roman thought. Before he could make any attempt to salvage the situation, however, the muscular stranger spoke up once again.

"Hm? I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that," The man said, leaning in and cleaning his ear. "could you repeat what you said for me please? Maybe in a language I actually understand? But I have to warn you," Suddenly, before the gangster could react, the man pushed him away and pointed at him.

"I don't like what I hear, and I'll kick your ass sideways!"

'Woah... this guy is fearless! I bet he has some super awesome secret trick he'll use on this guy!' Ruby thought, already jumping to conclusions, which really weren't far off from the truth.

The thug, while put off by the man's bravado, quickly recomposed himself before he pointed his sword at him once again.

"I said give me everything in your wallet you-!" "OVERDRIVE!"

Before the man could finish his sentence, Joseph suddenly grabbed onto the blade, and before anybody could react, a bright yellow energy surged up the blade and through the mobster's body. The man could only scream in pain for a brief second before he passed out from the shock. After a moment of surprise from the sudden display, Roman spoke up.

"well, this is new…" The professional thief remarked dryly, trying to mask his confusion with nonchalance. When he noticed that nobody was still doing anything, he gave an annoyed grunt before speaking up again.

"Well, what are you waiting for? get them." Once they heard the orders, the rest of the thugs sprung into action, rushing Joseph and Ruby.

"ALRIGHT, I GUESS WE'RE DOING THIS NOW!" Without skipping a beat, Joseph rammed a hamon filled punch into the gut of the nearest thug, sending him flying.

'Hmm, well I can't let him hog all the action, now can I?' Ruby thought, quickly parrying a sword slice with Crescent Rose and activating her semblance. In no time at all, the both of them took down the rest of the thugs with little to no effort. When the final thug tried to get the jump on Joseph from behind, the silver-eyed girl wasted no time and shot him in the gut, sending him sprawling towards Roman.

"Well, I can see you fellows were a wonderful investment on my part." He remarked dryly to the bleeding out man at his feet before he looked to Ruby and Joseph with a casual expression on his face.

"Well you two, I think we can all agree this has been an… interesting evening, but I've got a busy schedule, so I believe this," He said, pointing his cane at them. "Is where we part ways." Suddenly, the bottom of the cane popped up, revealing a scope, and fired, sending a fiery explosive towards the two of them.

"Uh oh…" "OH SHIT!"

Not wasting any time, Joseph quickly threw himself out of the way, rolling onto the ground and feeling small bits of rubble fall on his back from the ensuing explosion.

"Whoa! Are you okay?" When the dust cleared, Joseph saw that girl in black and red standing over him, offering her hand.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He grunted as he took her hand before quickly checking his surroundings. "But where'd that bastard go!?"

"Over there!" Looking to where she was pointing, Joseph saw the orange haired man climbing up the ladder of a nearby building, likely trying to make his getaway. Upon seeing this, he smirked and pointed his soda bottle at him.

"Hey buddy! Leaving so soon? WHY DON'T YOU STAY FOR A DRINK!" As he yelled this, Joseph filled the soda bottle with an excess amount of Hamon, causing the cap to fly at the speed of a bullet towards the still climbing Roman.

"Wait what?"

*Ker-ACK*

Fortunately for him, Joseph's aim was a bit off, causing the bottle cap to hit the wall to his right. That, however, didn't stop Roman from being shocked by the small hole it created.

'...WELL THEN! He can turn bottle caps into lethal weapons!... I better speed this up.'

Ruby was currently experiencing similar thoughts herself.

'DID HE JUST USE A BOTTLE CAP LIKE A BULLET!? THAT'S SO AWESOME!'

"Damn, I really need to work on my aim." He said to himself, lamenting how out of practice he became with firing bottle caps at people, before looking to Ruby. "I'm gonna try and catch him before he gets away. You coming?" Upon hearing this, the silver-eyed girl could only smile and ready Crescent Rose.

"I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask you, the biggest one being whether or not I could get your autograph, but they can wait. Try and keep up!" Suddenly, Ruby fired Crescent Rose towards the ground, the recoil sending her flying towards the rooftop Roman climbed onto. Joseph could only stare in surprise for a brief moment before he followed after her, rushing towards the ladder of the building and quickly climbing up it. 'Well, that's one way to make your recoil useful!' The Joestar thought as he reached the top of the ladder.

"Stop right there!" When he managed to get a good look at the scene in front of him, Joseph saw that Ruby was a few feet in front of him and looking at Roman, who was on the other side of the rooftop and standing on the edge. When he noticed that the two of them caught up, he could only let out an irritated growl before he spoke up.

"Persistent..." Suddenly, before Joseph or Ruby could attack, a gigantic, airborne vehicle that the Joestar had never seen before rose up from the edge of the roof. Smirking at his new form of escape, Roman quickly jumped into the vehicle's open side doors before he looked towards his pursuers with a smug smile.

"END OF THE LINE, YOU TWO!" He yelled triumphantly, throwing a red crystal towards Joseph and Ruby before shooting at it with his cane. He only had a split-second to comprehend this, but the Joestar quickly realized that this man essentially threw a high-power explosive at the both of them. With no time to react, Joseph could only vocalize his horror.

"OH NOOOOO-" *BOOM*

However, when the dust from the explosion began to clear, Joseph quickly realized that he was completely unscathed. What's more, he also began to take notice of a third person on the rooftop, who was standing in front of him and Ruby. Despite the angle, the muscular managed to get a good look at the woman in front of him.

She was a woman of a tall height, seemingly just as tall, perhaps even taller, than Joseph. She had a beautiful face with short, slightly curled, bright blonde hair and bright green eyes that appeared to glow. She was wearing a pair of knee high black boots with black leggings, along with a black corset, a white, long sleeved dress shirt and an uneven purple cape.

'Damn! This hottie could give Lisa Lisa a run for her money in the looks department!' Thought Joseph, so transfixed by the woman's good looks he nearly forgot about the situation at hand. However, he was brought back to reality when the woman brought out what appeared to be a riding crop and used it to fire several beams of purple energy at the air-based vehicle. The vehicle took the hits dead on but still remained in the air. Realizing she would have to up her game, the woman launched a small bright-purple ball of energy above the vehicle. Suddenly, storm clouds started to spawn over the helicopter and ice shards, of all things, started peppering the vehicle, piercing it in various places.

'Okay, it's official, wherever this place is, it's weird… AND I LIKE IT!' Thought Joseph excitedly as he watched the scene before him play out. It was like something straight out of a superman comic! It was exciting, tense, and full of action! However, before the blonde woman could continue her attack, she noticed somebody stand on the side door of the vehicle. It was hard to tell what she looked like from this distance, but from what could be seen, she was wearing an elegant red dress and had a pair of glowing yellow eyes.

Suddenly, the mysterious woman launched several beams of bright yellow energy at Joseph and the others. The lasers hit the ground around them and caused the spots they hit to start lighting up. The blonde woman quickly realized what was going to happen and used her magic to push Ruby and herself away from the parts of the ground that were about to detonate. She would've done the same for Joseph, but it proved unnecessary as he already dashed out of the way.

Deciding to finish this, the blonde woman summoned 3 purple chains that latched onto the helicopter and began to drag it towards the ground. However, before the chains could ground the vehicle, the yellow-eyed woman covered the chains with a yellow energy, causing them to disintegrate. At this point, Ruby tried to fire a few shots at the woman, but she easily blocked all of them with a raise of her hand. Joseph would've tried to assist, but none of his Hamon attacks could be used at long range, and he had no items to even make an attempt to do so.

With no way to stop them, Ruby, Joseph, and the blonde woman could only watch as the airborne vehicle flew off.

'Damn,' Joseph thought before he shrugged his shoulders. 'Ah well, I doubt it'll be the last time I have a run in with those guys. Strange things always seem to be drawn to me.'

"You… you're a huntress!" Joseph was then snapped out of his thoughts by Ruby's excited voice, who was currently fangirling over that blonde woman, who was apparently some kind of hunter. Although the Joestar figured that whatever kind of game she hunted was a bit more dangerous than any deer or bear.

...Maybe she hunted squirrels that were like the one Kars made from his left hand? A chill went through Joseph's spine when he thought about that little monster.

"Can I have your autograph!?" Ruby asked excitedly, but Joseph could only grimace in dread. While you could definitely call the muscular brunette a bit of an airhead, he was all too familiar with the expression this "huntress" had on her face. It was the type of look that Granny Erina gave him when he lost his temper, and things never ended very well for Joseph when she had that look on her face.

*SMACK* "OUUUUCH! What was that for!?"

'Oooooh crap,' Joseph thought with dread when he saw the blonde huntress hit Ruby with her riding crop. She gave the young lady a stern glare before she looked towards Joseph with a similar expression. ' Oh c'mon! Can't you give me a break, god? I just saved your entire planet from a bunch of super vampire strippers. I should be expecting a parade in my honor, not shit like this!'

"Okay, look lady," Joseph began hastily as the woman strode towards him. "I'm not sure why you're so pissed right now, but I'm sure that if you look deep inside yourself, you'll see that hitting me with that riding crop isn't nece-"

*SMACK*

"OW! YOU PSYCHOTIC DEVIANT!"

*SMACK*

"YEOWCH!"

"Address your elders with respect, young man. Didn't your mother ever teach you manners?" Glynda Goodwitch said sternly to the crouched over Joseph, who was now clutching the back of his head in pain.

"Young lady," Ms. Goodwitch began, the tone in her voice causing Ruby to look down in fear and shame. After everything that happened, the veteran huntress brought the young lady in front of her and the musclebound man she was with to the nearest police station for questioning. Although since they caught the entire event on film, this was really just an excuse to reprimand the two of them for their rash actions.

"I hope you're aware that your actions tonight were very reckless and dangerous." She continued, causing Ruby to whimper slightly and pull her hood over her head in shame. Narrowing her eyes, Glynda readied her riding crop and continued.

"If I had any say in the matter, I would send you home with a pat on the back…" She said, causing Ruby to look up hopefully.

"...And a slap on the wrist!" She finished, harshly bringing her riding crop down on the table, causing Ruby to yelp in surprise and fear.

"I-I'm sorry..." Ruby began, unable to look at Ms. Goodwitch in the face. " I just wanted to help, honest..." Her cold gaze remained on the the young girl for a moment before her expression softened and she let out a small sigh.

"That being said," She began, causing Ruby to perk her head up slightly. "while there was little thought put into your actions, you were still doing the right thing, and you DID stop the robbery. At the end of the day, your actions were commendable rather than foolhardy."The huntress complimented, causing her to look away once again, clearly embarrassed and flattered by the compliment.

"Hehe... thanks," Ruby said, a giddy feeling rising up in her chest. "That really means a lot coming from a huntress." Ms. Goodwitch could only smile slightly when she heard this before she continued.

"Now before I let you go home, an associate of mine would like to ask you a few questions. However, you may have to wait a few minutes, as he's currently-"

"OH! MY! GOOOOOD!"

"-asking your friend a few questions." The huntress finished, sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose. Something told her that young man Ms. Rose was with was going to take up most of Ozpin's time.

"Mr. Joestar," Professor Ozpin began calmly, looking at Joseph, who happened to be in the middle of a panic attack. "I'm going to have to ask you to calm down, please. Panicking like this won't accomplish anything." Upon hearing this, the young Joestar gave the headmaster of Beacon an incredulous look.

"CALM DOWN!? If what you're saying is true, then I'm on ANOTHER GODDAMN PLANET, AND YOU'RE ASKING ME TO CALM DOWN!?" He demanded, slamming his palm down on the map of Remnant Ozpin had placed on the table between himself and Joseph.

"Yes, I am." He answered simply, taking a sip out of his coffee mug in the process.

.

.

.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Joseph said after a moment of silence, falling back into his chair. "I guess I just need a minute to think about all this crazy crap..." He sighed, running a hand through his dark brown locks.

'Well, that was easier than I thought.' Ozpin thought with amusement as he watched the Joestar try to recollect himself. After Glynda brought the young man in front of him as well as Ms. Rose into the station, the two of them were told to wait while they looked through the footage they caught of the both of them fighting.

To say the least, the two teenagers definitely caught Ozpin's eye, albeit for vastly different reasons. Ms. Rose was a rather straightforward case. The headmaster was amazed by her talent and potential at the age she was at. With the proper training, she would become a force to be reckoned with if she decided to become a huntress. Not only that, but her silver eyes were also factors that needed to be taken into account.

However, while he was certainly going to ask the young lady some questions about where she learned such impressive moves, the young, muscular man in front of him took precedence, and the reason for that was because of that strange electricity he emitted from his body during the all the fighting.

Never before had the headmaster of Beacon ever seen such a strange power. It didn't appear to be a semblance or aura, yet it was able to be used while fighting. When he asked about it, this man, Joseph Joestar, as he called himself, said it was an ancient form of martial art known as "the Ripple... or Hamon, or sendo." Quite frankly, the Joestar said he could call it whatever he wanted, he didn't freaking care.

During his explanation, Joseph explained that the Ripple was essentially a special breathing technique that could let one kill vampires and various other ghouls with the power of the sun. It was a rather abridged explanation, but he refused to explain further, claiming that for some strange reason, it wouldn't be relevant in the next 80 years. An oddly specific claim that the headmaster could only raise an eyebrow at.

Sadly, when Ozpin asked if one could learn how to use Hamon, Joseph explained that only one in a thousand had the potential to master the technique, and that he only gained the ability from his late grandfather, Jonathan Joestar.

After explaining the basic workings of the technique (that the user is basically punching people with the power of the sun), Joseph claimed that he had no idea where he was, which was where things got interesting.

Confused, but accommodating nonetheless, Ozpin told Joseph that he was in the city of Vale. He had expected that to be a good enough explanation for the young man, but was caught by surprise when he said he never heard of the city. He was even more surprised when the brunette remained confused after he explained that Vale was located on the continent of Vytal at that it was the capital of the country.

After realizing that something was very wrong with here, Ozpin asked where Joseph was from, to which the young man explained he was from a city called "New York" with pride clear in his voice. Having never heard of such a city in his entire life, he brought out a map of Remnant and asked Joseph to point it out for him.

After seeing the map, and after Ozpin repeatedly confirmed he wasn't playing a prank on him, Joseph subsequently freaked out. And then subsequently calmed down.

"So you didn't quite explain yourself very well," Ozpin began, his calm gaze still on the exhausted Joestar. "You kept saying you were in another world, what exactly do you mean, Joseph?" He asked, causing Joseph to sigh in exasperation.

"It means exactly what I said, pal! Look, it would take too long to explain it all right now, but before I passed out, well... I was... kind of... launched out of my planet's atmosphere. And look!" Joseph said quickly before Ozpin could open his mouth. "I know what I'm saying sounds insane, but it's the truth! I'm not sure if I somehow managed to sail through space and crash into this planet here, or if something else is at work here, but what I do know is that I've never seen a world map like this before in my entire life!"

"So... you're saying you're from another world?" Ozpin asked, taking what Joseph was telling him into consideration.

"Believe me, I get that it sounds stupid, but it's the only explanation I can think of. The fact that this place has tech decades beyond anything I've ever seen and a goddamn magic dominatrix isn't helping me think otherwise, either."

For a moment, neither of them said anything. Joseph didn't have anything else to say and Ozpin just kept looking at him with an unreadable look in his eyes.

'God, it's like Esidisi all over again. I can't tell what this guy is thinking at all.' Joseph thought, thinking back to his encounter with the... emotional Pillar Man. However, just as the Joestar started to imagine Ozpin suddenly bawling out of nowhere, he spoke up.

"Alright, I believe you." He said simply, causing Joseph to nearly fall out of his seat in shock.

"W-WHAT!?"

"And I'd keep that dominatrix remark to yourself if I were you. May the Maidens help you if Glynda catches wind of it." Ozpin chuckled.

"Y-You're just gonna believe what I say with no proof!? Not that I'm complaining mind you, I'm just a little surprised." While it was certainly convenient that this guy was so willing to believe his story, Joseph couldn't help but be surprised that Ozpin would believe what he said without any proof. If somebody came up to him and told him the same story, he would've just punched that person in the face for trying to feed him an asinine story like that. (Not that he could call it asinine now, mind you.)

"Believe me, Mr. Joestar. Once you see what Remnant has to offer, you'll realize that your claim is rather mild by comparison." When you'd seen what Professor Ozpin had seen, and done the things he had done, you'll realize what Joseph was telling him was rather tame compared to everything else on Remnant.

"Besides," The headmaster continued. "That Ripple technique of yours is proof enough. If we knew of a technique like that, there would certainly be more people using it to defend their homelands from the Grimm."

"Grimm? What the hell is a Grimm?" Joseph asked with confusion. Did he mean the Grimm fairy tales? He did never enjoy those stories granny Erina told him when he was little, they were a bit too dark for his tastes.

"Ah, that's right, you wouldn't know about them, would you? Well, to sum it up, the Grimm are soulless creatures that terrorize the people of Remnant with the sole purpose of destroying all of humanity and everything that's been built up to this point. I am the headmaster of an academy that trains talented youths to become hunters and huntresses, men and women that combat the Grimm." He explained to Joseph, giving him a brief explanation of the creatures that terrorize Remnant and the people who hunt them.

"Jesus Christ... can't say we got something like that back where I'm from..." Joseph muttered with shock, surprised that this planet was being plagued by such a serious threat. Sure, vampires were dangerous and all, but there weren't that many of them either. The Pillar Men were certainly more dangerous, but as far as he knew, there were only four of them in existence. "It's funny though, during my hamon training, my teacher, Lisa Lisa, told me that hamon was created during the dawn of man to protect mankind from the Pillar men and Vampires back where I'm from."

"Pillar men?" Ozpin repeated, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh! Uh, yeah, they're kind of a long story. Probably better that we don't get into it right now, or we'll be here for hours." Joseph dismissed quickly before continuing. "Anyway, all things considered, Ripple users and hunters sound like they got a similar thing going on... Except for the whole "academy" thing. Yeah, last time I checked, there were no public schools that taught people how to punch vampires with the power of the sun. I guess there aren't enough vampires on Earth to warrant something like that being built." Once he finished his comparison, Joseph couldn't help but let out a deep sigh before looking up at the ceiling of the room. Ozpin didn't say anything, not wanting to interrupt the Joestar's thoughts and caught up in musings of his own. This Ripple technique had certainly given the headmaster a lot to think about.

" So," Joseph suddenly began, bringing Ozpin out of his musings. "What do you think I should do now?" He asked, looking at the headmaster once again.

"You mean you're asking me?" Ozpin asked, slightly surprised.

"Well who else CAN I ask?" Joseph answered, clearly annoyed. "If I'm actually right, then I'm stranded on another world I know hardly anything about with no way to get back home. I mean, I can't exactly walk back to New York, now can I?"

"Yes… that doesn't leave you with many options now does it?" Ozpin agreed, already thinking about what could be done. However, after a moment's thought, a brilliant idea made it's way into his head.

"Mr. Joestar, if you don't mind me asking, just how old are you?" Ozpin asked, looking at Joseph thoughtfully.

"About 17, why?" Joseph answered, giving the grey-haired man an apprehensive look.

"Well, you see Joseph, while I don't have any way to get you back to your home, I just thought of a solution about where you can stay and learn more about Remnant in the meantime." Ozpin explained.

"You're next line's gonna be, "What I'm trying to say is, how would you like to be a student at uh... Whateverthenameis Academy?" Yup, that's the one." Joseph said in a disinterested tone.

"What I'm trying to say is, how would you like to-!" Ozpin stopped himself when he realized he was saying exactly what Joseph predicted he would say. "How did you do that…!?" He asked in an incredulous tone, causing a cocky smirk to spread across the brunette's face.

"Simple, I'm a genius, and as such, I was able to piece together your offer before you would even say it. It wasn't too hard, after all, you DID mention you were the headmaster of an academy and you DID come up with a solution to my whole predicament rather quickly." The Joestar answered, clearly enjoying the look of surprise on Ozpin's face. "That being said, I ain't a psychic, so I couldn't really give you the name of a school I don't know the name of."

'So he thinks he's a genius, does he? Well, he's certainly got the ego of one.' Ozpin thought, a little annoyed Joseph was able to predict what he said so easily. "Well either way, my offer still stands, are you interested?" He asked getting back to the subject at hand. Upon hearing this, Joseph looked away for a moment, not sure what to say, before he answered.

"I'm not sure. I've never been too keen on going to school. Everything in class was so boring, and frankly, becoming a hunter sounds like it would take way too much effort on my part." He explained simply, putting his hands behind his head.

'...I think I know what I'm going to talk about during my speech to the freshmen this year: wasted energy.' Ozpin thought dryly as he looked as Joseph. He could tell just by looking that this young man had an amazing amount of potential to be an excellent warrior and hunter, but everything about him screamed a lack of caring and direction, reminding him of a lot of Beacon initiates who talked big, but were really just full of hot air.

"Granted, it's either this or live out on the streets, so screw it," Joseph said, extending his hand to Ozpin and giving him his iconic smile. "You've got yourself a new student, teach."

Ozpin could only look at the hand for a brief moment before he grasped it with his own.

"Well, try not to be too confident Mr. Joestar," Ozpin said, giving Joseph a rather cryptic smile. "It still remains to be seen if you'll even pass initiation."

"Eh, I'm sure I'll pass with flying colors. Anyway," Suddenly, the brunette pulled a sheet of paper seemingly out of nowhere and handed it to the startled headmaster.

"Uhm... I'm sorry, but what is all this...?" Ozpin asked as he began to look through the list.

"Oh, just stuff I'll need for my school year. I made that in case a something like this ever happened. ('He prepared for this!?') Anyway, it's mostly just some clothes I'll need along with some materials to make some custom weapons for my Hamon. The basic amenities" He explained, not noticing (or rather, not caring) the look of dread on Ozpin's face as he went through the list.

"...Is all this jewelry quite necessary...? It all seems rather... excessive." Ozpin asked as he felt a cold sweat run down his back. Beacon was quite the prestigious school, and they had a great amount of funds, but everything on this list seemed quite... expensive.

"Very much so! Wearing metallic and shining gear helps me conduct my Hamon quite well. I'd be at a serious disadvantage if I wasn't wearing any." Joseph said smoothly, and to be fair, it WAS technically the truth. Metal and jewels were great Ripple conductors. But in all honesty, none of this was the reason why the Joestar wanted so much jewelry. Just like his dear grandfather, Joseph Joestar inherited Jonathan Joestar's love of impossibly cool clothes and fabulous jewelry.(1)

"I... see. Well, we can't have you at a disadvantage, now can we?" Ozpin chuckled nervously, already dreading how much of Beacon's funds he'd have to take out to purchase everything on this list.

'Why do I feel like I've made a terrible choice tonight?'

(Elsewhere)

While all of this was happening, something very sinister was stirring on another part of Remnant.

Deep within a castle that had been long forgotten by the rest of civilization, a figure obscured by shadow was sitting on the throne of this castle. He had been in a sound sleep on his throne until the red gem on his necklace began to glow, stirring him from his slumber.

"Hmm...? Well, this is a pleasant surprise." The figure said to himself, holding the glowing gem in his hand.

"After so many long years, it's finally begun. I had been waiting oh so long for this, that I was beginning to doubt it would ever happen. But now..." As this man thought aloud, he got up from his throne and walked towards one of the castle's dark stained glass windows, looking out it and enjoying the distorted outside view.

"It would be best if I maintain a wait-and-see approach for now. I've waited so long for this, that it would be a shame if it all fell apart because I was too hasty. Still though…" The figure said to himself, as his right hand unconsciously went towards his left shoulder.

"I won't deny I can't wait to meet this new Joestar in person. What do you think this relative of yours will be like… JoJo?" The figured chuckled, looking forward to the coming times.

(1) I'm referring to how practically every JoJo issue has a cover showing a Joestar wearing a crap ton of bling and jewelry. Jonathan was dressed up like a seventies gangster on issue four and he lived in victorian fucking london! I bet half the shit he was wearing didn't even exist in that time! I guess we know where Giorno got his desire to be a gangst- sorry, "gang-star" from...

Anyways, I hope everybody gives me their thoughts on this story! If they have any ideas for it, please PM me and we can go on from there.
