Young Caesar; Part 2
Waht happened before:
A part of the heavy roof started falling down right above Caesar.
"NO!" You moved in front of him finally able to use your legs.
"HAMON NOVA!!" You screamed. "HEAL!!!"
The whole entrance was covered in dust....
Part2
Wamuu stood on top of the stairs astonished as the dust cleared slowly ....Y/N, she was able to move! His eyes widened in fear, she....he noticed a small red bubble with Caesar's headband on his lip ring inside.
"A message formed of his own blood. Still whole it appears to be the result of his final Hamon." Wamuu stated observing the bubble deep in thought. "He saved his Hamo for this, for his friend. That is why his punches contained no Hamon." He stretched out his hand but though better of it turning around. "I shall let you have it." Wamuu decided. This is no act of sentimentality. A strong Warrior is the only truth. He thought grimly walking up the stairs. "He had a brave heart. He has my friendship and my respect. I shall remember you....Caesar. A man whose life was as brilliant and transient as the sphere that holds his legacy." The Pillar Ma went through the door inside the hotel as the last bit of dust settled down.
You sat there panting holding Caesar close to you., in the last moment you took Caesar's body and dodged the falling stone hiding behind rubbles.
"Caesar...." You whispered as tears formed on the corners of your eyes. "Just say something please. You ....please just breathe; open your eyes for me." You whispered. "You stubborn selfish idiot." You cursed weakly. "You cannot just confess and then die...you cannot just go to a place where I am not able to follow you, you are playing dirty. That is unfair! I cannot do more." You stroked his platinum blond hair, all the wounds on his body have vanished ad healed up fine thanks to your stand.
"Thank goodness Wamuu did not see us behind those stones and the dust, he probably thinks we are buried under there." You mumbled. "Caesar please, say something. I....please" You cried. "Come on you damn womanizer, just...." Your voice broke there is only one thing I can try, you closed your eyes. "Hamon....ULTIMATE DEEP PASS PVERDRIVE!!" You screamed sending Hamon in his body like you did to Will fifty years ago....Silence.
"Pease Caesar, wake up." You whispered desperately. "Please...you cannot leave like this!" you shouted until you felt a warm hand caressing your left cheek.
"Is .....this ...heaven?" Caesar asked weakly as you burst out n tears of joy.
"Caesar!" You hugged him as he groaned in pain. "You stupid, idiotic....do not ever do that again!!"
"Y/N?" Caesar muttered confused..."Why are you here?...So I am not dead. But how?" He looked up and down seeing all his wounds have healed. "Y/N...." He smiled getting lost in your golden eyes." You shed tears for me." He chuckled lightly.
"Of course I would." You returned laughing between your sobs."You reckless bastard!"
"Shush! Y/N...." Caesar wiped your tears away lovingly. "I am sorry. Forgive me, pretty please?" He smiled warmly leaning his forehead to yours relishing in this moment.
Suddenly Joseph Messina and Lisa Lisa ran into the entrance hall through the opening in the broken wall.
"This destruction." Joseph observed. "It was Wamuu's Divine Sandstorm! And Caesar and Y/N, they were his victim." Joseph assumed seeing the red colored bubble floating in the air, shining in the sunlight. "A bubble....could it be...NO!" The brunette reached out to it. "It is Caesar's bandana!" He exclaimed. "And a ring! Wamuu's lip ring!" He grabbed the bubble as a burst of energy was released from within, flowing into Joseph's body. "This Hamon energy! ARGH!!!"
Suddenly the bubble burst as he held Caesar's headband in his hands, his legs gave out. "I have not called out Y/N's or Caesar's name since I set foot in this place." Joseph whispered falling to his knees. "I was scared. I was afraid that if I cried out his name there would be no response....Horrible resounding silence.....I was too afraid....I could not accept it....I could not call out to them....But now" He clenched his hands. "Just moments ago Caesar must have died here." Joseph was close to tears until he was interrupted by an oh so familiar voice.
"We are not dead yet Joseph dear even though it was a bit too close for my liking." You spoke up behind a rubble of stone shocking everyone as Joseph and Lisa Lisa rushed over to a rubble of stone Caesar and you hid behind.
"Y/N Caesar!!" Lisa Lisa cried out hugging you, seeing the unconscious Caesar in your lap. "You are alive!" She let her tears fall down her face.
"Caesar you bastard. You were a show off till the end." Joseph stated relieved. "Leaving behind a gift like this for me. Caesar why did you." Joseph sobbed overwhelmed by his emotions. "And Y/N why did you not call out for us earlier!"
"Calm down Joseph." You laughed. "We are still in enemy territory, I was not sure if it was you when you first stepped in here, so I had to wait to make sure. Caesar here will most likely wake up in a day or two, it depends..."You observed the sleeping Italian.
"So how is he... how is his condition...?" Lisa Lisa inquired carefully.
"I was able to save his life...however like his grandfather he won't be able to use his Hamon ability anymore. So he is completely defenseless, he probably will regain his body control in a week but knowing Caesar he will do it only in a few days." You stated sadly.
"I understand..."Lisa Lisa mumbled regret coating her dark blue eyes.
"Look at the trail of blood...."Messina pointed out. "Caesar must have delivered significant damage to Wamuu. We are still in enemy territory we are left with two options, to continue our mission or to retreat."
You sighed deeply standing up to carry Caesar's body in your arms. "Retreat is no option." You stated grimly. "Joseph, please take the antidote then we will follow them deeper in the hotel or moreover...." You looked at Caesar's peaceful expression. "....the three of us will. Messina, I beg you take Caesar back to the hotel and make a phone call to Speedwagon on my behalf. Furthermore you have some medical knowledge right?" You questioned him.
"Yes I do, but...." Messina tried to protest but Lisa Lisa beat him to it.
"Please Messina this is the wisest choice, we cannot endanger Caesar since he is left utterly defenseless, Y/N cannot go with him since she is our strongest fighter and neither I nor Jojo have any medical knowledge, we could do nothing to help Caesar, at least I only know how to treat open wounds but you know more...."
"Alright. Leave him to me. Good luck!" Messina said slowly taking Caesar from your arms and made his way out of the hotel.
A Hundred against three:
It is said the structure was built a castle in the 14th century. In the early 20th century it was renovated into a hotel but ten years ago when its owner died the hotel closed. Kars discovered the building and made it his shelter from the sun. The evil lurks within, but Joseph, Lisa Lisa and Y/N knew nothing of its layout.
The three of you walked through the dark hallway carefully.
"Damn it!" Joseph cursed. "What is with those creepy cobwebs? He could have at least cleaned up the place!" He ripped it down annoyed. "As if things were not depressing enough! But look at this trail of blood. Looks like Wamuu took a good beating." H hunched down to inspect it close up.
"Caesar did not go down without a fight. "You chuckled looking around. "I guess scary monsters do not do much house cleaning, but on the other hand neither did Joseph here. Lisa Lisa could you?"
"Yes I can." She answered using her Hamon, cutting the webs swiftly, clearing the way.
"We cannot allow him a moment to recover." Joseph stated taking out his Clacker Volley. "Let's get a move on, Lisa Lisa, Y/N!" He grabbed the door handle but immediately backed away after touching it.
"What is wrong?" Lisa Lisa inquired.
"Well....the doorknob is weir as hell!" the Joestar exclaimed. "It is like I am grabbing some guy's hand!"
"I am not a door." Someone exclaimed, his voice made your ears ring, it was really unpleasant.
"Huh?" Joseph stood up taking a few steps back looking around confused.
"Over here! I said I am not a door okay?!" Suddenly a man emerged out of the wooden door attacking Joseph, who pulled out is Clacker Volley just in time as they were cut and he fell to the ground.
"Jojo!" Lisa Lisa shouted.
"If it were not for that weapon, I would have peeled your face clear off." The vampire snickered evilly. "They call me Wired Back, chaps!" He posed. "I strangled my lover and escaped from prison. But then while I was on the run. Lord Kars mad me part of his gang with the Stone Mask. He has my loyalty. That is why I cannot let you chaps go in there and disturb Lord Kars rest."
"Damn you they have already begun feeding on humans." Joseph realized grimly as Wired Back warmed himself up.
So Lord Kars is in here too. You made a mental note for yourself.
"What a pain. Good grief. You are just a rat with a one way ticked to hell. Here allow me to show you the way." You cracked your knuckles but Lisa Lisa moved in front of you.
"No need to concern yourself with this small fly YN!"" She said relaxed.
"Beautiful! Magnificent! That skin!" The vampire observed Lisa Lisa with crossed arms. "Hold me! Let me drink your blood through that porcelain skin of yours."
"You have caught me at a bad time. I do not want to listen to your disgusting drive!" She muttered coldly. "Or look at your ugly mug." She declared as you grinned at her proudly. She put on her lack sunglasses casually. "But if you would like to hold me by all means, try! It will be the last thing you regret."
Suddenly large iron spikes came out of his body.
"Spikes! So that is what they are! They are spikes not fingers!" Joseph realized shocked. "He is covered with spikes! Wire-like Spikes!!"
"I do not appreciate it when women make jokes at my expense, you see." He played with his straps frowning. "It is time for punishment." He announced leaping into the air doing a few saltos. "Give me a nice big hug! This punishment is all about cuddling okay?" He appeared right in front of the dark haired woman screaming...
"Yikes his is faster than I thought!" Joseph exclaimed while Lisa Lisa pulled her long red scarf around her with Hamon.
"Her scarf!" Joseph realized as you walked forward not bothering the slightest... "Of course she has made her scarf a Hamon weapon!"
Lisa Lisa slung her scarf around Wired Back's neck loosely.
"A scarf?" He asked confused. "Are you trying to wrap me up? Do not mock me. Do not make me laugh!" He ripped a part of it from his neck. "Pathetic rag! Wait what?" He looked puzzled as Lisa Lisa passed him too, taking her scarf along. "Wait where are you going?"
"Come Jojo; Let us go on or Y/N will get really mad." She chuckled.
"Okay! Joseph responded. Lisa Lisa's movements are as smooth as silk. No effort is waste, he thought passing the vampire.
"Hey do not ignore me! Hey you!" He addressed Joseph. ""Moen like that should be punished right?"
"Oh no chap. Looks like your time is up okay?" Joseph imitated his squeaky voice. "You are the one who got punished. You already got a dose of Hamon."
"Nonsense!" He replied as his body began to disintegrate soon he was reduced to nothing.
"She is amazing!" Joseph cheered. "I never thought she could actually fight. Her moves make mine look like amateur hour. I am impressed. She is a Hamon Master after all."
"And you doubted her." You sighed. "Come on let us move already. I am getting a headache. By the way Joseph you still have not taken the antidote."
"This?" He pulled the lip ring out of his pocket. "I decided to drink it after I defeated Wamuu. This thing no longer represents a promise between Wamuu and me. It is now between me and Caesar.....a promise that I will fight and that I live for another day. Lisa Lisa will you hold it for me until that time comes?" He asked his coach.
"No." She turned around. "You should keep it. Who knows what may happen to me?"
The farther they traveled into the hotel the thinner the trail of blood became. All of them understood the significance of their finding. Wamuu's wound were healing.
"Have they arrived?" Wamuu opened his forest green eyes as the door opened creaking as Joseph, Lisa Lisa and Y/N entered the room seeing him sitting on a small plateau his legs crossed. "I have been waiting for you. However I did not expect you Y/N I actually thought you died there in the entry hall. Joseph you have frown stronger indeed." The familiar green aura surrounded Wamuu menacingly.
"Bastard, You-" Joseph shouted enraged but you held him back.
"Calm down Jojo. Look below Wamuu at the floor...."Lisa Lisa pointed out.
"Do not worry. I am keeping my cool. I noticed it too. Those foot prints. There are two sets. That means Kars is here! Where are you hiding?!" Joseph yelled. "Show yourself!
"Yes two sets of footprints....only two." You muttered cautiously. "Yet I heard the hushed breaths of dozens, no....one hundred!" You opened your flashing eyes smirking.
"I see...both of you....for women you are quite decisive and insightful. That explains how you were able to learn, turn Jojo and Caesar into such powerful warriors so quickly. And to be able to detect the slightest of breaths...You both are first class Hamon warriors." He made the fire inside the large fireplace stronger by sending a small gust of wind revealing an army of vampires standing on the roof of the room upside down.
"Watch your tongue Wamuu, show a bit more respect." You hissed gritting your teeth your hostile composure never wavering but you put on your infamous poker face a cold façade.
"What the...All of you are vampire! Damn it!" Joseph cursed but they all kept quiet. "No response? This is getting disturbing."
From your right Kars showed up blinding everyone with his light, seated on a throne, he flicked his fingers and he vampires made a pass for their leader.
"Kars!" You greeted in distaste as he smirked at you he flicked his fingers.
"Lord Kars has given us eternal life! We are the chosen ones. It is one hundred against three." One of them answered. "When our lord gives the order we will turn the three into mincemeat, Jojo." They roared in agreement.
"Look Joseph you have fans." You mocked him.
"This is one hundred against three! Y/N now is not the time for jokes." Joseph whispered. "We are done for."
Kars raised his fingers again but Wamuu interrupted him.
"Lord Kars! In Rome this man and I made a pact to duel. I see revenge over Master Eisidisi! Pease give me permission to fight him!"
"No! We are after the Red Stone of Aja frost and foremost, then I desire this woman Y/N for future of our race. Do not forget that Wamuu."
"Yes my Lord."
"Yep we cannot. Might as well give up. How can I beat you? But even if I do there are all these vampires. Win or lose I am done for. The odds are way against me....I have no choice but to throw the towel. All right you win." Joseph walked around the room trying to lay a net but it was painfully obvious. "Shit! Guess you saw right through my string barrier." He let the string go. "I thought I would take you out with a flash of Hamon."
"No kill them." Kars ordered but Lisa Lisa was not having it."If you kill us you will ever get the Red Stone." She spoke up.
"What did you say woman?" Kars questioned.
"I am not naïve enough to bring the Stone with me here. I f neither Jojo, Y/N or I make it back to a certain place at a certain time a time bomb will destroy the stone!" She exclaimed shocking the two pillar men.
"Woman quit bluffing." Kars stated.
"I wonder whether you will be able to locate it in time." Lisa Lisa continued. "The explosion will be modest but it will be enough to damage the stone."
A time bomb? Joseph thought. I haven't go t a clue. But I will play along.
"Yeah you heard her. If we die, BOOM! KABOOM!"
"Yes." You added sinisterly. "I t would be really entertaining to watch." Because I actually planted a bomb you added in your mind.
"Even so I cannot allow you to leave this place alive."
"I have a suggestion." Lisa Lisa offered. "Jojo and Wamuu duel one on one and Kars; you and I will duel too. Y/N can be a referee, since she cannot really die as far as I know. So a fight with her would be a bit unfair. I wager the stone! The victor holds the Red Stone of Aja and the future. T will all be clear. Who will keep the stone, us or you? Who will survive? The Pillar Men or humankind?"
"Woman you have pluck. Very well we shall accept your fight for the stone." Kars agreed after shutting up the snickering Wamuu. "But know this. You have no tomorrow!"
"Alright then, Let's do this!" Joseph clenched his fist in determination.
