Boston, One of the most important cities in all of American history. Many of the pivotal moments in the American struggle for independence went down in this great city. The Tea Party, The Massacre, and not far from it were the battle of Concord, the start of the revolutionary war. A city witness to so many grave matters, and now one more gets added to that list as Josef's junk box car rolls into its parking spot as the sun goes down. "That guy said the arrow piece was somewhere near Plymouth rock. I thought it was in Plymouth, not Boston." Joeffery states. "They move the rock after it got vandalized." Josef replies. "Yeah, that makes sense. So where is it?" Joeffery asks. "There is a special spot near the ocean built for the rock." Josef answers as the two leave the faded blue "car" and begin to make their way to the rock, and the next arrow piece.

The rock was kept protected in a small cage built around it, lying on the soft new England sand. The purpose was tp keep people out and to keep the rock from washing out to sea. But under the cover of Darkness, a man climbs up and over the cage and hops down onto the wet sand. He crouches over the rock and raises his fist to strike the rock, a soft neon pink aura emitting from his hand. He brings that hand down and slices the rock clean in half. He reaches down to one of the halves and takes out a metal piece. A similar mix of Gold and Silver as the other arrow piece. Both were separate sides of the arrow's head. He pockets the piece and prepares to climb the cage before hearing a voice. "Hey! Did you just break Plymouth Rock?" But before the source of the voice can be located, the same neon pink aura emanates from the rock slicer as he clears the 10 foot cage in one leap and begins to take off. A man in a suit with silver hair chases after him, and the two run off, coincidentally in the direction of Joeffery and Josef.

"So if we get this other piece of the arrow, does it just like, snap in place or do we have to glue it together?" Joeffery asks as the two continue walking towards their destination. "I think the pieces are loose and only go together when we have them a-" Josef responds before being interrupted by a thin man wearing a shiny vertically striped jacket with black skinny jeans and a bucket hat full of pins. "Hey! Stop that guy! He shattered the Plymouth Rock!" The man chasing the arrow thief shouts at Joeffery and Josef. Josef pulls the core of Statikk out and throws it at the thief, knocking him down and the arrow piece out of his jacket. Joeffery notices and picks up the arrow piece. "Josef! Its the thing!" Joeffery says as he holds up the piece.

"It is the 2nd arrow piece! That was easy." Josef remarks as the two stand there, the thief scurries off into an alley, and the man walks up to them. "Is that what that guy broke Plymouth rock for? A shard of metal." Asks a tall young man wearing a navy blue suit with a matching tie and silver hair. "Yeah, I guess so." Joeffery stats on the fly to try and not look crazy. "I'm Charles Young. I work for Young Company. The world's leading medical tech company." Charles states as he reaches out his hand for a handshake. Josef shakes his hand firmly, while Joeffery looks off at where the thief ran off to. "Uhh, Josef. I think we got a problem." Joeffery says while pointing to a large chrome ball with a neon yellow and pink haze around it.

"So you two see it too?" Charles asks. Both Joeffery and Josef nod or say something in agreement. "So you're stand users?" He follows up. A similar response of agreement. Then, a nasally voice comes from the sphere. "We can do this the easy way, where you give me the arrow piece, or the hard way, where I take it from your dead corpse. The sphere begins to roll, very slowly, but also gaining speed, at an equally slow rate. Josef takes some of the concrete from the ground to make Statikk with. The stone figure dashes over to the orb and hits it repeatedly, with no effect. The orb then begins to pick up speed more rapidly, and in its wake it left a crater, the weight of it being enough to crush the concrete.

The three quickly converse to think of a plan of attack as the orb turns towards them and continues moving, at an ever increasing pace. "So it's getting faster now and doesn't seem to be penetrable." Charles notes "What if I can move it off course or something?" Joeffery says. "No, it will just come back at us even faster" Josef retorts. "Well let's at least try it. If not, we still have time to think of another solution. It's just slowly rolling for now. We have some time to spare." Joeffery states. "Go ahead. I'm thinking." Charles says as Joeffery brings out Weezer and summons the strongest gust of wind he can muster. The ball slows, stops, and then begins going backwards. "See I told you!" Joeffery shouts, proud of himself. Then the ball stops again.

"Shit." Joeffery exclaims, losing his proudness. The ball starts rolling back towards them, but a dent in the ball appears. The dent deepens, and then eventually shows the shiny jacket of it's user. Charles lights up. "He's in there!" He shouts. "Well of course he is in the ball. Why else would his voice come from it?" Josef asks. "Well that's what I too thought, but the even bigger conclusion is that enough force could bend the bubble back to reveal him. I have a plan." Charles explains before sitting down on the ground. "The hell are you doing, man?" Joeffery shouts. "Don't worry, this will work. You two try and stop that ball from getting to us. I need it to be as fast as possible." Charles says.

"Josef, should we even trust this guy? I mean clearly he hasn't tried killing us too yet, but what if he's crazy or something and tries to shank us right after this ball guy fucks off?" Joeffery asks Josef. "There is no other option. He seems to not care about the arrow. We just see what happens." Josef responds as he moves Statikk to push on the ball. The orb begins to once again pick up more and more speed, getting exponentially faster, yet only being stalled by the collected efforts of Joeffery and Josef.

After minutes of struggle, strife, and stalling, the ball creeps forward to be mere inches from Charles, while Joeffery and Josef have moved back and out of the way. "On three, let go of your abilities." Charles shouts. "You'll get crushed." Joeffery shouts back. "I have a plan." Charles responds. 1. Charles stands up. 2. Joeffery lets off the wind and Josef begins to call back the core of Statikk. 3. Both Weezer and Statikk dissipate and Charles suddenly equips a shield and sword. He braces himself with the shiny steel, and as the ball speeds forth and makes impact, he drives the sharp point of his sword deep into the bubble, shattering it and piercing through the under the chin of the thief, and straight through his head. His body bursts into chunks and the three dash away from the blood shower, back towards Josef's car.

"So. What exactly is that metal thing." Charles asks as the three stand around Josef's car. "It's another piece of the stand arrow. Its pieces can give people stands, but when put together, it can upgrade stands. Some guy named Josh is after it, but we're gonna get it and use it for good." Joeffery explains. "Well how about I come with you?" Charles asks. "Why?" Joeffery retorts. "Well I'm already on a sabbatical to gain more life experience. See my father, the CEO of Young Co. has taught me about how the world lives on balance. In business, it's the value of hard work and the value of a dollar, and in life, its raw life experience you gain, and knowledge you learn from someone telling it to you. I believe in this balance since my father has told me and taught me so much, I decided to live out on my own with only on the things I had worked and paid for. I have a 2 room studio apartment, and only a few outfits to my name, as most of my assets are with the company." Charles explains. "That's really interesting, but what does it have to do with coming with us?" Joeffery questions. "Well I too want this world to be safer, that's why I work for my father to make medical advancements. I think there's no better way to get life experience and do good than go on a trip to collect these pieces and keep power away from bad people." Charles once again explains. "Alright, well hop in the backseat. I get shotgun." Joeffery states as the three continue on their journey, one more piece down, and only three left. They depart from Boston and drive onward as the sun sets, onward towards Philadelphia.
