A Hundred against two; Part 2:
What happened before:
"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 got 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.
Part2
"Well then we need a suitable time and place for our battle." Kars spoke up walking next to Wamuu casually. "Wamuu your thoughts?"
"We fight tonight under the full mon!" Wamuu declared confidently. "The place will be fifteen kilometers southeast of here at the foot of Piz Berlina. We meet at the ancient stone circle they call Skeleton's Heel. Its hallowed grounds have witnessed the glory and death of countless warriors"
"An ancient stone circle?" Lisa Lisa questioned.
"Hey you cannot just pick a place that gives you an advantage!" Joseph protested enraged. You really did not like the idea either. It could be a place where they have the advantage...you never knew.
"Wamuu a fine choice." Kars praised him ignoring the brunette. "Now about the stone. Jojo! Bring the Red Stone with you to the stone circle at midnight tonight and be sure to remove the bomb. Y/N and the other woman shall remain here as our hostage."Kars ordered disappearing in the darkness as Wamuu stood up throwing a last long glance at the Joestar before following his master turning invisible.
"Lisa Lisa! Y/N!" Joseph called out.
"He is making sure we do not run." Lisa Lisa pointed out. "It is a reasonable request. Go and fetch the Red Stone of Aja. Do not worry about us. Y/N would not let anything harm me until the actual battle begins..." She stated as you raided your eyebrows.
"Right I see you at the arena." Joseph replied smiling. "Trust me."
"I do." She replied calmly.
"Wait Joseph!" You shouted after the retreating Joestar. "Here wait a minute I still have to write down the code to get the bomb off the necklace...here!" You scribbled it down on a small patch of paper with a pen you carried around a quirk you inherited from Caesar. "There you go." You grinned.
"Wait you actually planted a bomb?!" Lisa Lisa screamed n disbelief.
"Well, yes?" You chuckled raising your hands in defence....she looked ready to kill you. "I did it for us, for our sake. Just imagine they actually killed all of us and got the stone...I do not want to imagine that..Better safe than sorry I say Good grief do not look at me like that! Well it seems my effort paid off." You chuckled.
"Y/N where did you even get a bomb?" She shook her head.
"Oh I took it from Stroheim, I took it from the German base before having my interesting conversation with the Major, I thought it might come in handy after all the grenades I gave Joseph back in New York worked pretty well to save his life. So why not. You said we are allowed to play dirty!" You returned grinning proudly as Joseph sweatdropped.
"Are you gifted with foresight r something?"
"No.... but you could call it the intuition of a woman." You laughed. "Now make a run for it after all the bomb will explode soon."
-----------------------------------------------Time Skip:----------------------------------------
Joseph was back at the hotel looking though Lisa Lisa's luggage, seeing the grenade and the red stone of Aja right next to each other.
"Y/N was not joking. She actually did it....." Joseph panicked fumbling with his piece of paper. "Well she always keeps her word I mean ever threat has come true in the end.§ He shuddered at the memories...the time she made him run laps till sunset or the broken bones he got after crashing her airplane..... So the code is the 4th April 18868...somehow this date seems familiar.....Granny Erina always celebrates it together with Y/N and Speedwagon, if I remember correctly it is my grandfather's birthday He smiled getting it off the Red Stone sighing relief until it was replaced with a mischievous grin. "Now let's see.....should I bring a spare pair of panties for Lisa Lisa too?" he looked through her things until a picture frame fell out.
"What the-? This photo!" He noticed confused. "It is Granny Erina!" He picked it up inspecting it closer. "Why would Lisa Lisa have this?" He looked at another picture. "And this one....May 1889? That is fifty years ago! The young man is Speedwagon! Granny Erina and Y/N too. There is Straizo he is holding a baby! Lisa Lisa....I really know nothing about your past. But you and Y/N seem so close. Who are you?" He asked himself before making his way out of the hotel deep in thought.
------------------------------
Kars and Wamuu stood on top of a huge plateau overlooking the area with crossed arms while you and Lisa Lisa waited for Joseph's arrival.
Finally he came presenting the Red Stone of Aja as Wamuu smirked in anticipation, the brunette lit a match holding it behind the stone as the stone gave off a powerful beam concentrating the light of the small flame as the Pillar Men jumped down.
"It s the real thing. We shall keep out promise as well. We will fight you one on one!" Kars declared while you and Lisa Lisa walked up to Joseph who gave Lisa Lisa her necklace back but before she could withdraw her hand he showed her the picture frame giving it to her.
"You have seen the photos. I suppose we should talk." Lisa Lisa decided. "I had planned to tell you before the fight, well Y/ beat me to it....."
"Just who are you?" Joseph cut her off.
"Fifty years ago.....Erina lost her husband, Jonathan Joestar." Lisa Lisa told him. "On a ship while travelling across the Atlantic. He was your grandfather. That day you grandmother saved a baby girl's life. I am the little girl. The baby in the photograph in Straizo's arms is me!" She exclaimed.
"Wait a sec!" Joseph interrupted her panicking. "That was fifty years ago! If you were a baby fifty years ago.....Hey how old are you anyway?!"
"Mat, Jojo! She is fifty years old." You frowned, shaking your head in disappointment. He definitely skipped too much school.
"No way! If Lisa Lisa is fifty that means.....SHE IS OLD!!!" He screamed carefully he moved closer. "Right? But .....you look like you are in your late twenties." He checked her out moving around her. "They do ay Hamon energy is life energy and that is keeps you young....But I guess that makes sense considering you do not act cute. Aha, I think I see a wrinkle behind those shades~!" Joseph exclaimed taunting her but one glare was enough to shut him p. "Just kidding....."
"Now prepare the arena! Light the fires!" Kars commanded having enough of Joseph's childish behaviour. His minions threw two lit torches lighting an enormous flame in the centre of the arena.
"It seems our conversation will be cut short." Lisa Lisa noticed. "We still have much to discuss. Our family roots are deeply intertwined."
"Our roots?" Joseph perked up as you watched from the side lines; you decided it would be best to stay out of it...
"I lost my parents to the Stone Mask. Since Erina was pregnant when she rescued me...I was raised by Straizo." She revealed.
"What? Straizo?" Joseph was left shocked.
"Straizo taught me the Hamon, he even gave me the Red Stone. He got it from a fellow Italian Hamon user before he passed away."
"So he was your foster father!" Joseph realized.
"How unfortunate that fear of old age drove him mad. It is difficult to describe how I feel about you defeating him." She continued.
Yes, especially since your own son killed your foster father, you added in your mind.
"But I feel it was destiny." She have him back the photo album
I do not know what to say. Life is so complicated Joseph though taking it back. How strange that we are linked this way. Lisa Lisa.....She has had a hard life too.
"Guys we are out of time." You stated closing your silver pocket watch. "It is finally midnight." The ground started to rumble right after you finished talking.
"What is that rumbling?" Joseph questioned even the vampires looked confused while Kars and Wamuu waited patiently.
"They have arrived. Now the battle begins." Kars smirked evilly as the minions roared in excitement.
"They are....." You whispered as some warriors got trampled or pushed away.
"Out of my way if you do not want to get crushed!" The vampire inside the chariot screamed.
"Are they dinosaurs?" Joseph asked eyes wide in fear as you rolled yours.
"That would actually really interesting but sadly no....Those things are horses." You observed amused. Dinosaurs, hmm? That would be pretty interesting to encounter an enemy with such ability.
"Lord Kars! Lord Wamuu, please move! I cannot control their bloodlust!" The vampire warned however Wamuu did not move an inch.
"Lord Wamuu, please!" He begged but one stern glare of Wamuu and the horses stopped in their tracks right in front of him, suddenly submissive not daring to do something not acting like the beasts they were only seconds ago as he started patting them.
"Such magnificent warhorses." He praised all his attention focused on the animals.
"We used the mask to penetrate their brains with spikes-"Kars explained. "We turned them into vampires."
"Vampire horses?" the brunette screamed in terror while you were left utterly surprised but kept quiet like Lisa Lisa, keeping your composure.
"And now, here in this arena Wamuu will face Jojo as did the ancients in a chariot duel!!"
You raised your eyebrows, this was unexpected. "A chariot duel? You mean like those ancient Roman death matches?"
"Yes." One of his minions confirmed, explaining the rules. "You shall ride though this arena as you battle. Will it be Lord Wamuu or Jojo who will be flung off his chariot and crushed? Or will it be a take down? Defeat means DEATH!!!! Those are the rules Jojo." He announced dramatically. "A single vampire horse has the strength of one hundred fifty normal horses. Even Lord Wamuu struggled to control one."
"Hey hold it" Joseph protested. "I will take you on in a chariot duel or anything else but vampire horses are under your control right?"
"Worry not. The reins conduct Hamon. Wamuu will be using is own brute strength but you can steer the vampire horses with Hamon." Kars reassured him smugly.
"Really? They are ferocious!" Joseph backed away. "Do not bite now!!"
Confidently you strutted forward grabbing the reins calming them down as theier eyes turned from red to black.
"Yes those are indeed fine horses, a shame you turned them into vampires." You observed the animals.
"I see. A small amount of Hamon is enough to control them." Lisa Lisa noticed too relaxing the Joestar visibly.
"Wamuu!" The crowd began to chant.
"Hey Joseph." You whispered. "Are you even able to ride or horse or ride a chariot?" Seeing he scratched his neck nervously your jaw dropped. "Please tell me you can!"
"Yeah, kind of....Granny Erina made sure I learned how to ride a horse but I was never really fond of it." He admitted bashfully. You were ready to snap any moment now.
"That means he is serious. This battle is no game to him. He is out for blood." Kars's voice snapped you back into reality as he smirked down at you licking his lips.
"You must win Jojo." Lisa Lisa said. "Victory must be ours. There is no draw." Joseph nodded in understanding taking of his jacket throwing it away dramatically.
"Wamuu!" He showed him his lip ring. "I have not taken this antidote yet. I promised Caesar I would drink it after I kill you. And that will make me stronger than I have been before!" He put it on his right pinkie in determination. Then he took Caesar's headband mumbling: "Fight with me Caesar....." He tied it around his forehead before jumping in the chariot. "Let's go! The chariot duel awaits!!"
