บท 9: 9. Arms of Destruction Chapter I: Arthur JoJo, Orig...
"Please!" shouted a young man in an alleyway next to some trash bags. "I don't have it! I swear!"
"Where is the money, pare?" asked the taller man, as he kneed the young man in the stomach. He and his other friends then proceed to beat him to the ground. As blood drips from his lips, the man lifted his hands and raised them in the air.
"Please!" he begged for their mercy. "I don't have it!"
"Give us the droga!" they shouted.
"I don't have it! Come on! Please!" he shouted, still begging.
They then take out guns and point them at the man's face.
"We'll count to 10..." the man's hand shook. "If you don't give it to us, we pull the trigger. One, two-..."
"Uh-..." said another much taller man, who held a slingshot. He is 195 cm. Handsome and muscular, he smiled at the other men while softly brushing his curly hair up. "I wouldn't do that if I were you!"
"What makes you say that you tarantado?!" asked the leader.
Suddenly, the man who interrupted glowed with golden energy radiating from his skin.
"Ha?!" asked the other men.
"What's happening?" asked the young man being beaten.
He then pulled the sling of the slingshot and pointed at the man's finger.
The other men laugh.
"Try me," smiled the leader.
*shoo*
*ping ping ping ping ping*
The metal bullet that loaded the slingshot was shot into the ground, then the dumpster, then the two parallel walls a few times over, and then-...
*CRACK*
It snapped one of the men's fingers off.
"H-H-H-... Boss... M-My finger..." he trembled in pain. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
The much taller man then shot three more stones at seemingly random, as each of the stones snapped each of their index fingers off.
The men fall to the ground, all in pain.
The tall man smiles as he grabbed and had the younger man, who was being beaten, stand up.
"Salamat," said the young man, thanking the tall but slightly older man. "My name's Ventura Zeppeli. What's yours?"
"JoJo," he smiled. "Arthur JoJo."
Arthur JoJo does not remember his parents. His father was a politician who was mysteriously murdered and his mother died in a car accident when he was three. Instead, he was taken in by a mysterious man by the name of Ricardo around the time of the accident. Arthur always tends to be alone and after learning about his parents' origins, became a delinquent in his teens. Despite Arthur's delinquency, Arthur was actually quite an intelligent boy. He even graduated and got a job as a Lawyer. He is actually quite successful.
Meanwhile, Ventura is from a mysterious rich family. He comes from a large family but had been cast out because he did not focus on his studies. He was originally not a delinquent but was oddly often failing in his studies because of multiple disorders that he still has to this day. Thus, he later became a delinquent as well. His rich parent's upbringing made Ventura get with the wrong people. Unlike Arthur, Ventura is much physically weaker.
Unknowing of their families' history and tragedy together, the two met through the inner workings of Fate himself.
"Oh my God!" shouted Arthur. "Ventura! Look! It's that new popular game! Super Mario 64!!!"
Arthur wowed in awe as he leaned and stared at the Super Mario 64 Game Card displayed in the store.
"Be quiet, Arthur!" shouted Ventura. "You're kinda embarrassing me. Everyone's looking at us because of your loud voice!"
"I AM NOT LOUD!!!" yelled Arthur, as people walking by takes a look at them while Ventura covers his eyes in shame. "This is the ultimate game, Ventura!"
"Didn't you say you were a Lawyer? Isn't it a workday today?" asked Ventura.
"Skipped today to get the game," said Arthur, as he opened a Cola with his bare fingers and drank the coca-cola.
Ventura looked up in the sky.
"This is such a bizarre city," said Ventura.
San Diego is a large city that goes from the southwest all the way to the northwest of the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is a fictional city that makes up the Nation Capital Region, Ilocos Region, and the Cordilleras Administrative Region in our real world. In this world, San Diego is the Capital City of the Philippines. It has large but compacted cities with tall towering buildings in the lowlands but has small and wide towns in the mountains. It has an area of about 33,000 square kilometers. San Diego is the result of its original area, which is in Manila Bay, spreading all the way up north and east after the Americans made a deal with the Spaniards.
This is because in 1898 after the Filipinos defeated the Spaniards through the revolution, the Spaniards cruelly and unrighteously sold the Philippines to the Americans for 20 million dollars, enough for Spain to survive the next century. Then, after a group of American soldiers killed a group of Indio soldiers, a war broke out, and America brought genocide to many villages in the colony until they've gained full control of the nation. The defeat caused the Philippines to become a colony of yet another white country for another fifty years. Through the Americans' rule, the Indios savored massive trials of racism and divide between the whites and the browns, no different from before. Though they had more freedom, it was no different as their treatment was just the same. In 1946, the Philippines became (kinda) free from the Americans after the second world war, but not after their massive attack by the Japanese Empire. The Japanese offered them the Death March, raped their women, harpooned their children, and slaughtered the Indio rebels.
After the Filipinos were defeated again and again, and finally brought independence, they were conquered by the controversial Marcos. Due to the Filipino's disinterest in the Dictator who brought them a totalitarian rule. Yet, they ended up creating an imperfect constitution because of that. Corruption, crime, and drugs reeked the streets of San Diego, in the form only some can see.
Arthur had finished buying the game from the man.
"Yes, yes, yes!!!" he shouted, proclaiming his victory over, well...
"I WIN AGAINST LIFE, MY BROS!!!" he shouted. "BRUH I WON EVERYTHING!!!"
"You literally skipped work just to buy a kid's game," said Ventura. "Why are you celebrating so hard?"
"BECAUSE I, ARTHUR JOJO, HAVE A DREAM THAT I BELIEVE IS JUST!!! THAT IS TO PLAY THIS GAME ALL NIGHT, BABY!!! WOO!!!" laughed Arthur, as he looked up at the sky and pointed his index finger at it. Arthur then saw a beautiful woman and whistled.
"Huh?" asked Arthur JoJo to himself, as he saw the beautiful woman transform into a zombie-like hag.
"What's wrong, JoJo?" asked Ventura.
"Uh... Nothing... Isn't that lady a popular politician in a Barangay nearby?" asked Arthur.
"Yeah," said Ventura. "Heard she's pretty damned manipulative."
"Huh," said Arthur.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
"OH NOOOO!!!" he shouted. "Gotta go! See ya, Ventura!"
Arthur then ran away.
"Oy! Arthur!" shouted Ventura, as Arthur ran away.
Arthur then crosses the street as the light just went green. He then drinks the coca-cola.
Suddenly, a taxi nearly hits him.
"HOY!!!" shouted the taxi driver. "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, DUMBASS!!!"
He pulled the man out of the taxi and grabbed him by the throat.
"Huh? What was that? What did you say, dude?!" asked the young man. "Did ya just almost hit me with your taxi and blame me for CLEARLY LOOKING LEFT AND RIGHT, huuuuh?"
"Sir, I saw you just run right in front of my taxi IN A GREEN LIGHT!!!" shouted the taxi driver.
"YOU WANNA GO, BRO?!! I'll shove my foot in your FREAKIN'-!!! Whoa, are those real cheekbones?" asked Arthur.
The man trembled in fear as he tried to attack by pulling his shirt down. Pulling it down, it reveals the back of his left neck, revealing a star-shaped birthmark.
"Hey, you!" shouted someone.
"S-Sorry!" shouted Arthur, dropping the man down. "Oh, Geez! I-I-I gotta bounce! See ya, pare!!!"
Arthur finally meets up with his adoptive Father... a mysterious man with a bowler hat.
"Arthur, you're late for dinner," said the man outside the apartment complex's main door. "Did you skip work again?"
"Psh! Nah!" he laughed. "Of course not, my unintentionally inconspicuous-looking dad."
"How come this suitcase of yours was sitting outside by the dumpster?" asked the taller man, bringing out the suitcase.
Arthur stares and smiles at him for a second.
"Wonderful weather we're having!" smiled Arthur.
"That was a terrible try, Arthur. Inside, now," he said, as Arthur bowed his head and entered.
He then looked outside, and up to the sky, sighing. "One day, I'll burn up like a bloody storm. Because I... am one... sexy motherfucker."
"Arthur!"
"Ugh! Fine!"
Arthur then entered slammed the door shut.
