The dark knights; Part 2
"These Demons!" Jonathan exclaimed. "Poco hide like Y/N told you!" The boy nodded in response and hid behind the rocks in the shadows.
"In the16th century an ill fated queen was slain by Elizabeth the First. You fierce knight who served Queen Mary Stuart! Settle this!!" Dio commanded. "Exterminate these pests! Do with them s you wish!"
At his order Tarukus broke the ground underneath Jonathan into tiny pieces.
"He lifted and crushed that boulder with one finger! These two zombies are heading for Jojo." Speedwagon shouted. Jonathan meanwhile landed safe on the ground.
"There is no way he can fight them both." Zeppeli moved his arm a bit hissing in pain.
"Do not move Will. I am trying to speed up the process!" You mumbled. "If I can get your blood running you could use your breathing technique to heal your arm with Hamon!" Speedwagon looked over to Jojo seeing him cornered: "Baron Zeppeli all you need is heat right?"
"You have a plan?" Will inquired hastily seeing the urgency to help Jonathan.
"How about this?!" Speedwagon pulled Will's arm close lifting up his clothes exposing his skin, warming up Zeppeli's arm with body heat. He suppressed a cry as his arm made contact with his skin.
"Speedwagon!" You eyes went wide. "You selfless fool! This might be more effective still from the shock your heart could stop!"
"In the Arctic people treat frostbite by warming the affected areas inside the body of a seal." Speedwagon trailed off not looking into your eyes. "Lady Y/N, Jojo is in danger and without Hamon I would be no help in this fight but you... You are able to use your Hamon to the full potential that surpasses that of Baron Zeppeli here. I am going to warm up Zeppeli's arm while you are able to help Jojo to fend off those monsters!"
You considered his suggestion. He was right it was the only possibility.
"Zoom Punch!" Jonathan screamed as Blueford leaped into the air attacking him.
"Your blood is mine!" His voice was full of hatred and ice cold. His long dark wavy hair moved on its own piercing Jonathan's right arm to get his blood.
"He is draining blood!" The young noble man realized. You stood up leaving Will's side leaving him in Speedwagon's care.
"Speedwagon, I ...." Zeppeli starts.
"I did not come here to slow you, Mr Joestar or Lady Y/N down!" The blond interrupted him, pressing his arm closer on his exposed stomach.
"If you want to drink my blood, "Jonathan started. "...them you will have to lap up some Hamon too! SUNLIGHT YELLOW OVERDRIVE!!" It was not working, Jonathan noticed. Is this bloodsucker weakening my Hamon?
You were almost there making a mad dash for it.
"I was wrong about you." Baron Zeppeli confessed." I thought you will have turn tail and run at the first sign of danger." He was moved to tears by the sacrifice of the suffering man in front of him. "I apologize."
"Thank me when this fighting is over and we are still alive!" Tarukus drew his enormous blade.
"Quickly I must heal these wounds and return to fight them!"
"The knight is more chilling than that bloody frozen arm of yours!" Speedwagon said sweat tickling down his face. "That blade dwarfs Jonathan's 195 cm frame! And that strange hair! Those faces! They are hiding something! I have know many a fellow in my day and there is something overwhelming sinister about these two!" His eyes widened in fear.
"Every Englishman knows the legendary knights Tarukus and Blureford." Dio spoke up calmly evil smirk still present. "Y/N taught us so well. Even history bows to my will!"
"But I won't!" You taunted him smugly.
"Oh Y/N, I know you will!" He replied, irking you greatly.
"I your dreams." You continued still running.
"Of course. I dream of you every time I close my eyes lovely." He licked his lips looking down at you.
"Wow, obsessed much?" You laughed dryly, however it did not reach your eyes. "I would grow tired of my face. Must be killing you....you really enjoy me ending your life so much!!" You jumped in the air knocking Tarukus a few feet away while sending additional Hamon into Jonathan to support his Sunlight Yellow Overdrive.
-------
"Long ago in around 1565 two monarchs were contesting in a throne Queen Elizabeth the First and the beautiful 23-year-old Mary Stuart. The great knights Tarukus and Blueford were her loyal vassals. After losing their families in the war the knights found refuge wth Mary. Regardless of strength a man seekd respite not in romance but in something greater....Mary gave them hope!
To her they swore their loyalty and their lives. However tragedy struck when Mary lost her husband, Lord Darnly unexpectedly. For Elizabeth luck had struck. Elizabeth accused Mary of mariticide. The country turned against her and Mary was finally imprisoned. Tarukus and Blueford fought to free her. So Elizabeth bargained with the two thorns in her side. Turn yourself in she said. Then and only then I shall spare Mary's life.
We cannot refuse Tarukus answered.
I have no regrets so Blueford.
The two were arrested and executed. However right before their deaths the executioner told them the devasting truth: Allow me to send you blokes to hell with a few last words; Mary is already dead! You were tricked! See that lying over there like a pile of rubbish? That is your Mary.
He pointed at her head which was lying in the shadows. Both cried out in grief.
Damn you Elizabeth! You betrayed s! Tears streamed down Tarukus face as he cursed the Queen of England.
With my final breath I curse you and all of your descendants! Blueford added.
I LAY MY CURSE ON YOU!! They screamed in unison.
The knights were beheaded. It is said that Tarukus' neck was so stiff with fury that the executioner broke several axes. As for Blueford his hair supposedly coiled around his executioner's leg digging into his killer's flesh." You clapped your hands together, summarizing the story you taught Jonathan and Dio years ago during History lessons.
"That was the story you recalled, right Dio?"
"Yes, their betrayal gave me goose bumps. These legendary heroes cursed the world. I dug them up and gave them life! Life as revenants the devil himself would fear!"
"But they cursed the Queen not the world. Dio did you not listen? I even repeated the story a few seconds ago. Leaving that to the side....You are a lunatic! Those loyal knights now slaves to your villainies. What have you done?! My ancestors fought against them at some point and survived to tell the story. They said those two were the greatest opponents they have fought! How dare you taint their names!" You pointed your finger at him. "How dare you!!"
"We sweared loyalty to Master Dio! We have come to the end of the world! Death to everyone!!" Taurukus and Blueford said in perfect sync.
"Such hatred! Their scorn is growing!" Speedwagon observed in horror. "Dio made heroes to monsters! Can we overcome their betrayal?"
Jonathan took a deep breath collecing the Hamon energy you provided him with. "This Hamon of the flame....I feel it intensifying! SCARLET OVERDRIVE!!!"
The hair disintegrated completely by the burst of Hamon shocking everyone except you.
"Astonishing! I had forgotten about Mr Joestar and Lady Y/N'S burden! Lord George Joestar's death and his hope for the future! Our hope!" Speedwagon shouted as you stood there smiling proudly at Jonathan.
"The two hooligans, they have skill. They will be the perfect arm up after our 300 year nap."
"Thank the heavens. At last I find someone who is older than me in this world who is still able to hold a somewhat decent conversation. I am very lucky despite these rather bizarre circumstances." You stated happily. "I am 98 years after all." Speedwagon the only one left not knowing your real age early fainted. No way you could be that old. His thoughts were racing. His love of his life is several decades older... He could not handle that.
The moment of confusion was cut short as a zombie tried to attack you from behind, you of course noticed but before you could act Bluefors already took his nose in lighting speed:" This is no place for pawns!"
"It is not yours too." Dio stopped him sternly. "This woman. I do not want her dead. She is a person to treat with utmost respect. She is the only human I deem worthy to become my partner my only. She is the only one I can tolerate and want to stay at her side forever. She does not age so she is similar to us and the sunlight does not affect her. She is perfect. I am curious how our descendants will turn out."
What the....?! You blinked.
"NO WAY I AM SHARING A BED WITH YOU!! That is repulsing!" You screamed in horror shuddering at the mere thought. "I am an independent woman. I do not need a man who is trying to chain me down. I love my life and freedom very much, thank you. Obsessive; this is the very definition of you!!"
"Oh, I am hurt Y/N. We were quite close before you sided with Jojo." His lustful gaze trailed over your body. "Am I not your type?"
"No thank you. You do not even realize why I sided with Jonathan at all did you? I would choose Jonathan every moment over you. Always have always will. I am not into the I-am-a fricking-obsessive-psychopath-vampire-who-is-a –pervert-and-is-killing-people-I-care-about!!"
During your bickering Jonathan's heart swelled warmly. He was feeling fuzzy inside. But back at the task at hand the speed of Blueford was incredible.
"Master DIo!" Blueford shouted interrupting the intense stare down. "Then what about him?" He pointed at Jonathan. "The spirit of this young man is admirable! I ask for the privilege of putting an end to his life!"
"As you will!" Dio agreed not bothering the slightest.
"Oh no you won't!" You protested glaring at Dio but went unheard, no you were ignored!
"Tarukus stand to the side; make sure that the lady here does not interfere!"Blueford said coldly focudsing on Jonathan.
"The Dark Knight Blueford! What ferociousness! What savagery!" Zeppeli was sweating. "He radiates skill and pride!"
"This is uncanny. I learned about him in school and Y/N always told stories about them. Nd now he is coming to kill me! I must steady my breathing and relax my muscles!" Jonathan thought out aloud.
The Blueford made the first move.
"Jonathan!" You called for him. The bastard! He is hiding his arms behind his back! Which will he attack with? Or will he kick. Neither....
"Jonathan! He wields the sword with his hair, beware!!" You warned him from the side lines as Tarukus was blocking your way.
"No!" Jonathan shouted to avoid the blade he fell down landing in the river.
"Perceptive fellow, even without your warning milady he was able to dodge my Danse Macabre Hair. How intruging!" He followed after Jonathan.
"Mr Joestsar!" Speedwagon cried out. He and Zeppeli watched Blueford and Jonathan fall into the water with a loud splash.
"We have to help him!" But then Tarukus blocked their way too.
"Tarukus!" You said calmly. "Blast it! We cannot help Jonathan, worry for you first. I am sure Jonathan is going to manage!!"
"This fight is over. Blueford is unstoppable underwater. My supervision is no longer needed here." Dio spoke up loudly. "When you finished bring Y/J to me, I will be waiting beautiful. I will turn then Windknight's Lot into a town of zombies! In just one day and one knight they will spread to the whole of England!" Dio disappeared into the darkness of the night leaving you behind. You gritted your teeth in anger until you broke down to a grin.
Oh Dio, you will regret the day you let me survive. No matter the outcome, no matter what you take from me. I will prevail and I will kill you. There is no way you can kill me but I am able to assassinate you perfectly fine.
