"That's some fifty year old-" "Joseph!" Right away smacking your hand against the brunette's back he let out a whine. "Woman. Age. Never ask nor mention remember."

Rubbing his back Joseph pouted faintly, "I didn't mean it in that way?!"

Unable to hold yourself from rolling your eyes they ended up landing on where Lisa Lisa and Kars stood, the fight quickly beginning between the two.

A bright light momentarily lit up the area before you heard Joseph call out, raising a hand to point towards where the brown haired woman stood, "Kars disappeared with that light! Where'd he go?!"

Raking through your brain for an answer it felt like two wires connected lighting up that little lightbulb in our head, "Wait if the Pillar Men came from stone- wouldn't that mean they can travel through it like what Wamuu did with the horses?" At the mention of what Wamuu had done Joseph's own mind put the pieces together, his eyes right away trailing across the stone structure.

"That's a good guess- but he was in a crack in the pillar!" Pointing that out Joseph raised a hand gesturing towards where the man in question had popped out making an attempt to land a hit on the woman, merely being evaded by her using her scarf.

Using the scarf to fling herself upwards Lisa Lisa landed a kick aross Kars's face, the hamon from it shone brightly drawing out a cheer from yourself and Joseph.

"She did it! That's our master! Wonderful! He didn't compare to Wamuu, but barkers seldom bite! Though you are better than me, master!" Holding up a fist much like before you couldn't help but let out a faint laugh bumping it with your own.

You hadn't expected for the fight to be done so quickly, which only really led you to begin feeling like it wasnt really over.

Feeling your breathing still, your eyes followed the sound of a blade seeing that Kars's bone blade had pierced through Lisa Lisa, the woman appearing in shock much like how you and Joseph currently were.

"Lisa Lisa!" Calling out the woman's name even if she'd been too far to hear you watched the body of 'Kars' that she'd attacked melt away. "What the hell happened?! How were there two?!"

Watching Kars pull the blade out from Lisa Lisa's chest the man turned, speaking to her words you couldn't hear.

"He cheated! This fight wasn't one on one!" Exclaiming that your jaw clenched together tightly.

"You lying bastard!" Curling his hands into fists Joseph retained the same anger you did, the brunette's eyes remaining on the man watching him begin hitting the woman relentlessly. The red stone being within his hand in no time.

"The red stone is mine! Now all that is left is for all of you to kill that annoying JoJo, I would add the other one but she'd inevitably come back." Chiding that out the man held a cheshire like grin, wine hues trailed towards where the two of you stood watching as his minions drew closer before pouncing.

"Kars! I'll make you pay for this!" Reaching towards where you stood Joseph positioned himself so that your backs were together, hamon flickered to life curling around his fists while your own did the same.

Able to land a few hits on the surrounding hord, your fighting spirit faltered upon seeing the minions that were hit by Joseph simply brush off the attack.

"JoJo- it's - your hamon's not working." Flexing your fingers as though to make sure your own was still active, your eyes trailed around the group seeing the enemies laugh in resonance to your statement. "I think the fight with Wamuu wore you out."

"Indeed it did. Your breathing is ragged, your hamon is weak and poor (Y/N) here can only keep back so many. You are all that's left of the hamon-users Lisa Lisa trained." Following the way the both of you continued to fight Kars let out a bemused chuckle. "Will you last?"

Throwing out a kick towards one of the minion's legs you watched them topple back taking down a few others, physical fighting wasn't your strong suit when using hamon but in that very moment you had to bring back everything Lisa Lisa made you do over the course of that month.

"Joseph, I don't know how much longer we can go- there's too many." Breathing that out you pressed your back against the brunettes, his own breathing was becoming ragged as well letting you know he was at the same- if not in a worse state than you.

"I know, but we have to keep going." Throwing a punch once more he watched the hamon once wrapped around his hand diminish, a curse left his lips before a bright purple light lit up the group. The minions the two of you had been fighting each let out a yowl in pain before disintegrating away.

Squinting towards where the light had come from a spark of hope filled you, "The light..That face-" "Its the germans!" Finishing the brunettes train of though your eyes lit up at the prospect of help, sure last time their leader; Stroheim got cut in half- but he was still able to do damage without the use of hamon. Standing among a rock and basking in the bright light his team carried Stroheim stood proudly, "Listen up, vampires! You're up against Strohiem and the German elite!" An echo of voices chimed in after he spoke, "And we're the Speedwagon Foundation Special Forces!"

Grinning Joseph held his own look of relief, "It's Speedwagon! And Smokey from New York!"

Watching the clusters of people run off to fight the vampires, your eyes bounced between them before landing on Joseph, "Go, I'll make sure things down here don't get out of hand." Raising an enclosed hand you watched him nod his head bumping his fist into your own before swiping his scarf from you and darting off.

The reason for which was unknown to you, but no questions were asked.

Turning in place you began weaving through the pairs fighting, eventually making it to where Speedwagon stood, the man right away reaching out to take your hand in his own. A sort of relieved look crossed his expression, "I'm glad you're alright. I heard about what happened with Caesar and wanted to tell you that he woke up not too long ago." Seeing you visibly perk up at the mention of your blond haired companion the man let out a chuckle. "He fell back asleep soon after."

Nodding your head in a thank you notion, your attention trailed towards the kid standing beside Speedwagon. Pulling your hand away you held it outwards, "Smokey right?"

"Yep that's me, and I take it you're (Y/N)?" Taking your hand he shook it politely returning both of his to his side right after.

"The one and only."

Watching the short conversation between the two of you Speedwagon let out a faint noise as if recalling something, his voice quickly captured your attention. "Ah (Y/N), I wanted to talk to you about your lab results. Stroheim and the foundation analyzed the blood sample given." Explaining part of what they'd done he could see that he had your full attention.

"And what's the verdict?"

"Your cells after what is deemable as death change in genetic structure, meaning it doesn't match your physical body anymore. . .meaning your reincarnation is more like reintegration into a new pre-existing body."

"Your mind is the only thing that's originally yours."
