Stroheim woke up with the gasp. His hand was touching his chest, like he was trying to cover invisible wound. He was panting and gasping for air, his eyes was glancing around, trying to see enemy soldiers. But he didn't saw anyone, he saw a familiar forest of red leafs. He grew shocked and looked up at the sky.
A broken moon...he was back.

POV: Stroheim (Jaune)

I'm back?. Remnant?! What the?! No...NO! This can't be! I can't be back! Our scientists did a great research on the spiritual beings called "Stands". They were revealed to our scientists, because of the big amount of incidents. Robbery, murder, etc. "Stand users", as they called themselves, were able to move objects without touching them. They explained about "Stands" that noone can see them, except for other "Stand users". "Stands" have a different abilities. Could this be a Stand's doing?! Is it giving me hallucinations?

"Show yourself, coward!" I yelled at the trees, while glancing around, waiting for someone to cone out. I heard rustling in the bush, and turned to it, drawing ultraviolet lamps to light it up. Something came from the bush, rushing at me in full speed. When it comes closer, I grabbed it by it's jaw and squish it hard, making crashing noises of the bones. I dropped the body on the ground and see what is it.
It was beowulf... suddenly this got more intense. I still believe that this is stand's doing, and I need to check this, whoever did that must be nearby. I pull out my machine gun from my abdomen, and started to shoot at any direction.

POV End.

The forest was filled with gun fire, and tracers of bullets. They were tearing down trees and bushes. Nothing will escape this bullet barrage, even the stand user. Stroheim stopped fire and glance around, waiting for something to change. Forest was still here, and it proved that this is real. He is in Remnant, but he wasn't happy, he was angered. How could this happen? He was happy with serving his country, helping JoJo with defeating Kars, and joining the war. Germany gave him everything: live, purpose, something to fight. But this world didn't brings any good memories... kicking out of the Beacon...disowning and dying.
Stroheim decided to move forward, to find that village, where he died.
After two months ago, Jaune Arc had defended this village against the grimm. He gave his life to save more, he was a hero. In this village, everyone decided to build the monument in the memory of this noble boy. The monument was his statue, holding a sword in his right hand, and his own heart in his left hand. His left hand was holding the heart to the sky, and the sword in his right hand was inside of grimm's skull.
A town bell ranged, waking up guard in the village. Rangers states, that armed, muscular men in some kind of uniform was heading to the village. Guards started to move towards the stranger's place, in order to intercept him.
Stroheim kept walking, while killing every grimm he could find, maybe this village will help him? He doesn't want to go in the Vale, he might draw unwanted attention of his...former friends and Beacon. He can't take risks. As he walk another fifteen metres, he saw a group of people, wearing a traditional armor with the weapons, that resembles a musket. But before he could greet them, his vision was blacked out.

POV Gerik (Guard's captain)

We saw the guy that we looked for. I must tell, he looks really intimidating. His right eye was augmented, and he wore a strange, green uniform with leafs on his shoulder straps. He opened his mouth to speak but got interrupted. From the back of his neck, right out of his throat, came a golden arrow. He dropped on the ground, and started to bleed, but he was somehow alive. I ordered my men to get the arrow out of him and drag him to nurse. What is that arrow? Where did it come from? Who shot it? So many questions.
