Sitting on the couch, Latte and the others decide to go another city - Rome. The reason to go to Rome is because the man who hacked their labtop. The man behind the screen has reveal the boss' name to them. He will meet them at a popular sight, the Colosseum. Finding a way to defeat the boss, they have to no other option. This is the best lead they have for now.
With the map of Rome, Bruno told Mista and Narancia that the trip will be within 45 minutes. They have to wait for the drunk men to leave the sight before the gangsters find a car to use. Latte glances at Leone who is sitting in his seat with his eyes closed. It seems to her that Leone is lost in his own thoughts or taking a quick rest. "There is a stand attack!" Mista tells them. Everyone is on guard instantly.
Leone and Latte stood up from their seats to look up at the ceiling. Mista told them that something is on his hand. "It's almost like mold, its making my skin rip open...." he describes to them. Their eyes lands on the green mold forming on the palm of his hand. The same mold had happen to the other people. Narancia suggests they should get away by boat.
"Until we know what attacked, it's too dangerous to move!" Giorno warns the others. Narancia ignores his warning, jumping on the boat. Mold crawls from the ceiling to the walls. They appear on Giorno's hand to appear on the others. Latte saw the mold forming on her left shoulder. Leone has mold forming on his hands. Mista and Giorno is able to figure out how the mold forms - when moving to a lower location.
Mista saved all of them by shooting the boat's engine. The turtle flew up to land beside Mista and Narancia. Bruno trades spot with Narancia. Latte treat her own wound and wrap it up. She held up rubbing alcohol to Giorno, suggesting they should try this. "Yes, that will work on killing the mold." He spoke up. Latte wets Narancia's wounds with alcohol. They are able to see the mold clean away from his wounds. Latte smiles at Giorno who smiles back. He works on treating Narancia.

Latte turns to Leone sighs then silently hold up his hands. "Let's get this over with." He mutters. She pours the alcohol over the wound. He bear his teeth at the pain. Latte cleans and wraps up the wound. She turns to Trish. Latte uses rubbing alcohol to disaffect. Trish hisses under her breath from the burning sensation. At least the alcohol has work to kill of the mold from growing. Latte silently wraps Trish's wound with a clean bandage.
The mute woman stood up from her spot to clean up everything. "That's a bit cruel, Bucciarati. He didn't even ask Narancia if he was okay or not." Trish whispers. She looks at Naranica laid out on the couch. "Not even earlier, when you were trying desperately to get up from the boat..." She mentions. Leone glares at the teenager but Narancia asks why she was angry.
"It's good we made it out alive, but because of me - we almost died. If he didn't send me here, I might've dropped it into the ocean."
"But why is he cruel to everyone?!"
"....Were you hoping he would ask you if you were okay? I already know how Bucciarati is but you just want to know more about him."
"Excuse me...?"
Narancia sighs then turns his back to Trish. Latte moves to place a hand on Trish's left shoulder. She looks up at the mute woman who gave her a comforting smile. Her eyes move up to the ceiling. It didn't talk long for Giorno to come out and help the others with their mission.
"There is no way Bucciarati would sacrifice a kid like me." Doppio thought to himself. His eyes look down at the zipper Bruno made to save him from his opponent. He came here to Rome to finish off these people who wants to uncover the identity of the boss. Looking up at Bruno fatigued from the fight earlier, blood from the ears told Doppio that he has a loss of hearing. Bruno sat on the ground, breathing heavily. The sight of dry blood on his hands shows his struggle from the fight.
He didn't see Doppio standing behind him, his hand ready to deliver the kill. Doppio pauses when Bruno breathes out that he has to go somewhere. Those words made him think. Bruno uses the light pole next to him to steady himself on his feet. "Pardon me, Can I lend you a hand?" He spoke up, "If you want too." Bruno turns his head to looks at Doppio then replies that he is fine.

Doppio insisted again, Bruno accepts the help since he is worn down. "To the entrance of the Colosseum." He told Doppio. His head lowered as he doesn't have enough strength to lift it up. Using Doppio as support, they slowly approach the entrance by crossing the street. One step closer to his goal of getting rid of the pests who come close to his identity.
Latte, Trish, and Leone step out from the turtle to find themselves next to the Colosseum. "Trish, you shouldn't come outside yet." Giorno told her, "The danger's not fully gone. Get back in the turtle." He glances at the others. Leone points at Trish, "She got something important to say." Trish's face is pale as paper as she spoke up with worry in her voice.
"He's here. I started to get that feeling again. The same thing I felt in Sardinia." She hugs herself then lowers herself to the ground. Latte and Leone glance at each other. "The boss." They share the same thought. Trish told Giorno and Mista that the boss is nearby but she doesn't know where he is. They entered the famous sight, worried for Bruno.
They found Bruno sprawl out of the ground. The feeling of drowsiness overcame Latte's senses. Leone fell asleep beside Latte. "Mista! Something is wrong!" Giorno shouts behind him. He found the others knocked out. It didn't take long for Giorno to fell into a slumber like his teammates.
Her eyes snap open then slowly she sits up from her spot. "...What happened...?" She thought to herself. Massaging her forehead, she flinch when hearing shouting between Trish and Mista. In the midst of confusion, everyone turns to Latte. She blinks then Trish slowly steps to her. "...Oi, Abbacchio...is that you?" She asks. Latte blinks then turns her head to look behind her. Frozen, her eyes lands on her body on the ground.
Out of surprise, Latte stood up as her mouth opens. "My body...why is it there?!" She thought to herself. The others become still when seeing Latte's body move. The eyes of pink and brown eyes narrow when seeing the other's shocked. Latte saw her lips move but emits no sound. They watch her again try to talk but no sounds. Brown and pink eyes connect with purple eyes. The both of them stood in shock.
Latte looks down to see herself occupying Leone's body. The both of them had switched bodies. She could see Leone frustrated with himself as her body doesn't have the ability to speak. Leone saw Latte giving him an apologetic look. If she can switch bodies with Leone again, she would so others won't experience she had since she was born. Leone and Latte watch Trish occupying Mista's body squeal out in shock from the lack of care for his body.
"Why?! Why did I have to be Mista?!" Trish cried out. She begins yelling at Mista for touching her body without permission. Latte looks down at Leone who is pinching the bridge of his nose. Leone can't shout at them since he can't speak. This will be tougher than he thought. With a silent sigh, he looks up at Latte bowing her head - apologizing again. She doesn't need to apologize nor at fault for this situation. He shakes his head, waving off her apology.
If anything, she shouldn't apologize for being mute. Being in her shoes currently, Leone wonders how she can survive like this as he knows nothing about her. She had to resort to other means such as her actions, writing, and even the expressions on her face to tell someone. He has to admit, she has an unmeasurable amount of patience with all of them.
Leone and Latte listens to the other's conversation as they try to figure out what is going on. Then, all eyes turn to Bruno's body. One question that appear in their minds.
Which body Bruno switch with?

A Martial Odyssey
Our community discord. With one step, an ocean is crossed. With one swing, an immortal is slain. Grisla Orlith's name has been in contention for centuries; millenia. Has he ever existed? Is it true about him? They hear of the future, but they don't know his past. Assumed as a genius from heaven, a warrior without peer. But back then, from those that knew of him... only saw a worthless boy. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] For those not in the know, this is a book with some western and eastern fantasy sprinkled in. This is a work coming from someone who's a long time fan of the genre and would like to add my own flavor and spin to it, and I particularly dislike the shallow xianxia characterization and development. To counteract that is about eighty percent of the reason I'm writing this. The beginning might be a slow burn but I promise I'm bringing up some awesome scenes and moments once you're invested. Again, this is not some fast food xianxia. But I can say that as a lover of the genre I won't be completely shying away from the stuff that got myself hooked into it in the first place. DISCORD NOW AVAILABILE!

Disclaimer: I'm not continuing this story. Check out Azarinth Healer, it's a more current story where I worked on a lot of things I found wrong with this one. Main character is somewhat similar as well so if you like Eleonora, you'll probably like Ilea. I still invested a ton of time writing this so check it out if you feel like it. There's gonna be 20 Chapters 39k words total. Hey everyone. This is a story I've started writing like a year ago and thought why not post it now. This story is about fighting and magic in a pretty standard fantasy world. The story follows Eleonora through her daily life in Duneswatch and on her way to become an adventurer. No secrets here, it's pretty generic. Should be decently paced so just give it a shot if you want to. I'm not gonna sell it to you in this quick summary. The range of writing on RR is so wide we both know you just have to give it a chapter...or a paragraph depending on how unique the grammar is. Please do criticize harshly. I'm definitely no writer but everybody can improve with pointers in the right direction. Don't expect regular updates.
