"Sir... The Ark of the Covenant is empty."

"WHAT?!!"

"Sir, we have to go all the way back to find the commandments."

"I'll join you."

"Sir?"

"If you fools are incompetent enough to completely forget about the commandments then I really have to watch you fools and supervise you while you do so."

Miguel gains silver eyes as he stepped into the darkness of his thoughts. He steps once, then twice, and observes the world which is currently at its stopped. Right now, he is one with the world. Right now, he is away from his fate. Miguel's silver eyes shine as silvery energies began emitting from his body.

"A state where you leave your body..." whispered a voice. "...a state where a Grimm relies only on his instinct..."

"Kono za Ripa da..." he whispered. "I, The Reaper, have a dream I believe is just. Who am I? What am I? I am Miguel JoJo... and only I can save the world from THE WORLD.
But...
Why am I the only one who can save the world?"

Miguel begins to fear.

He sees the island in the distance. He began running above water toward the island. Splashing could be heard. It went faster as he reached for the island. But then... someone called from behind.

"Do you want strength?" asked the voice.

"I want to live peacefully... be one with the world..." said Miguel. "Why do I have to be the only one who can stop Salvi?"

"Because you are the only one well-equipped to defeat... Salvi."

"Will I win?"

"Maybe. It depends. The fate of the world and THE WORLD are in your hands."

"Why... Why am I the one who'll have to have this burden?!"

"WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION ME?!! WHO IS IT THAT COMMANDS ALL?!! WHO IS IT THAT DECIDES ONE'S FATE?!!!"

"Who... What are you?"

"I am that I am."

*GASP*

Miguel wakes up in a bedroom, gasping for his breath. It's mostly made of metal with blue walls, floors, and ceilings. There's a bed with white sheets in the center. There's a chair facing him beside his bed. His bed is next to the wall with a round window next to him. Miguel realizes that the bed is shifting from left to right. The sound of water could be heard outside.

He's on a ship floating on the sea, looking up to the sky... Little Einstein.

Well... he is in a room so he cannot see the sky right now.

But Miguel just opened the door and ran outside and looked upward.

Now he's looking at the sky. What are the odds, huh?

The sky met the ocean way over at the horizon. He looks at the deck and it's green and is made of metal. He's on a ferry. He goes to the balcony and sees that there are more decks below. There are about four floors down.

"Hey, Miggy!"

Miguel slowly turns around, releasing Star Platinum.

He prepared to attack only to see... 

Anne.

"Oh..." said Miguel. "Hey."
