EPISODES 16-17
Y/n's POV
We were now in a carriage. I was sitting next to Kakyoin and Polnareff
"Hey, a doner kebab place! Why don't we stop and get something to eat?" Joseph asks. He stops the carriage and gets out
"Excuse me, I'd like five of those" Joseph says
"Five will cost you a thousand yen(9.08 dollars) " the man says
"A thousand yen?" Joseph asks. The two began haggling. He got five for 450 yen.
"Bye-bye, thank you!" The man said. Joseph drops the bag of kebabs
"Hey! That old lady's awake" Joseph says
"Eh?" Kakyoin asks as we all turn. The woman was sweating profusely
"I-I-I haven't said anything! Wh-Why are you here before me? Do you think that I, Enyaba, would actually tell them the secret of Lord Dio's stand?" Enyaba asks
What?
"Huh?" Joseph asks. The vendor takes off his covering and glasses. Suddenly worms come from Enyaba. The carriage falls apart. We all jump out
"Wh-What are these tentacles?!" Polnareff asks
"Why? Why have you come to kill me?!" Enyaba asks
"It means that Lord Dio truly trusts no one. I will be making sure you never speak again. And as for you four there. I will be taking your lives" He says
"I'm here too y'know" I mutter
"I think I'll make you my wife. You're pretty cute" He says
"I think I'd rather die" I say. He glares at me. I glared back
"Old lady!" Polnareff says
"What?!" Joseph asks
"My name is Dan. Dan of Steel. My stand suggests the Lovers card. I will see to it that you all meet the same fate as Enyaba. Of course, I'm willing to spare you if you agree to be mine" He says to me
"I'm good. I'd rather you kill me" I say with an innocent smile. Jotaro glared at the man
"How could you?! That old lady was one of you, wasn't she? Old lady!" Polnareff says running to her
"L-L-Lies... Lies... It's a lie... Lord Dio would never do this to me..." Enyaba says
"The thing coming out of the old lady's body is not a stand! They're real! They're real, moving tentacles!" Kakyoin exclaims
"He would never do something like this to me... He would never plant a flesh bud..." She says
"Flesh bud?!" Kakyoin asks
"Lord Dio is my reason to live... We trust each other..." Enyaba says
"Old lady!" Polnareff says pulling out Silver Chariot and cutting the worms. They land in the sun and disintegrate
"Th-They melted from the rays of the sun. The flesh bud! It's Dio's own cells!" Joseph says
"Precisely! I'm impressed you were able to figure that out. That is what the flesh bud, made from Lord Dio's cells, looks like when it's grown. I just grew it inside of Enyaba. Enyaba, I hear that you were the one who told Lord Dio about the stands. But there is no way that Lord Dio would ever trust a little old woman like yourself. It seems you hadn't realized that" Dan says
"Old lady! Tell us what the true identity of Dio's stand is! Tell us! You placed your hope and trust in Dio! And now you know he's not the man you thought he was! I have to defeat Dio! Please, tell me! Tell me! Tell me about Dio's stand!" Joseph pleads
"Lord... Dio.... He believes in me. I can't tell you...." those were her final words as she had passed
"Oh, God!" Joseph yells. Dan begins laughing. We all turn to the man
"How sad. How truly sad that old woman was. But the fact she trusted him so deeply shows how powerful Lord Dio's evil charm truly is" He says laughing. We all approach the man with glares on our faces. He picks up a cup and drinks it
"Since Enyaba was connected with my sister's death, I'm pretty conflicted about this. But I will kill you" Polnareff says
"It'll be five against one, but we won't hesitate. Prepare yourself" Kakyoin says
"I'd love to see that man under my shoe" I say with a grin
"Stand up" Jotaro says. Dan takes another sip and then places the cup down
"Hey! Don't try to act cool at a time like this. Even if you won't attack us, we're going to fight" Jotaro says
"Do as you please. But none of you will be able to even lay a finger upon me, Dan of Steel" He says. Star Platinum punches him. The man goes flying but so does Joseph. I quickly rush to Joseph's side to begin healing him
"What?!" Jotaro asks
"Wh-What happened, Mister Joestar? He flew back just like that guy!" Polnareff says. I pull out my stand S/n and begin healing Joseph
"You fool! I was still in the middle of my explanation. You were very close to killing your own grandfather. Listen carefully. Do you really think I appeared before you just to kill Enyaba?" Dan asks
"Y-You scum.. You said you had the stand of the Lovers card, didn't you? Wh-What is that?!" Joseph asks coughing up blood
"The battle has already begun, Mister Joestar. You fools. No matter how hard you look, you won't be able to find my stand easily" Dan says confidently. I smirk
"Well I've already found it" I say. Everyone turns towards me
"What?!" They all ask me
"Well obviously you'd think my stand would know everything about the person's body I'm healing. There are currently two stand presences in Joseph. One I can confirm as Hermit Purple and the other I assume is Mister Dan's Lovers. It's located in his brain" I say cockily as the man clenched his fists
"You're a smart woman aren't you. I can't wait for you to succumb to me" He says
"Maybe in a million years" I say waving my hand in a shooing motion. He grits his teeth. He looks to a kid sweeping behind him
"Hey, brat. I'll give you a tip, so hurt my leg with your broom" Dan says throwing the money at the kid
"Hit me!" He yells
"Wait no!" I yell. The kid hits him and Joseph begins yelling in pain. I continue soothing his pain
"I-It hurts!" Joseph says
"My stand isn't doing anything" I mutter shocked
"I don't know what's going on, but there's tremendous pain" Joseph says
"You haven't figured it out, Joseph Joestar? Like my dear Y/n has already said. My stand is inside your body. The moment Enyaba died, it entered your brain through your ear" He says
"What?" Joseph asks
"Meaning, the stand and myself are one and the same. If my stand gets hurt, so do I, and vice versa. If you so much as scratch me, my stand, which is within your brain, will react to my pain and suffering in that same moment by going berserk. It will inflict pain several times greater to the same part of your body. I'll say it once more. You will not be able to lay a single finger on me! Not to mention, the Lovers had taken Lord Dio's flesh bud into your body. It's growing within your brain. Just like Enyaba, it will eat you from the inside and you will die!" Dan says. The kid whacks him with the broom again
"Ow!" Joseph yells. The kid holds his hand out for money
"When did I say you could strike me again? You little brat!" He yells punching the kid. I covered my mouth. The kid ran away. Dan pats his pants
"Well, to be honest, my stand, Lovers, is very weak. It isn't powerful enough to move even a single strand of hair. It is the world's weakest stand. But, you don't need power to kill humans. Do you understand, dear, and gentlemen? If I were to be in a car accident, hit by a baseball, or even to trip and fall, Mister Joestar. Your body would suffer far greater damage than mine" Dan says cracking his knuckles
"I-I can even feel real pain in my artifical left hand" Joseph says
"And in ten minutes, your brain will be eaten through, and you will die like Enyaba" He says. Jotaro grabs Dan's collar with his fist raised. Star Platinum just peeking out. Kakyoin gets between the two
"Jotaro, calm down! Don't do anything stupid" Kakyoin says
"No. I'm going to kill him so quickly he won't have a moment to feel pain" Jotaro says. Joseph began to groan in pain and Jotaro took notice of that. Jotaro let him go and Joseph began coughing
"Without a moment to feel pain, huh. That's a great idea. Let's see you try it, Jotaro. It sounds fascinating. What were you planning to destroy? Come on! My face? My throat? Come on, what's wrong? Just try it! Let's just see what happens! How about busting a hole through my chest? Or how about you give up on using your stand, and crack my head open with a rock? Here, I'll even get the rock for you. Is this one big enough?" Dan asks. Jotaro walks over and grabs him by the collar once more
That idiot
"You don't want to underestimate me. When I say I'm going to do something, I do it" Jotaro says. Joseph continued to groan in pain. Jotaro pulled out Star Platinum to punch Dan but Hierophant Green stopped it
"Don't do anything rash, Jotaro! You've already seen his powers! Are you trying to kill your own grandfather?!" Kakyoin asks. Polnareff jumps in
"H-He's the type that might actually do it" Polnareff says
"You aren't taking me seriously" Dan says hitting Jotaro with the rock
"Oh?" Dan asks as Jotaro lets him go.
"You" Dan says as he hits Jotaro with the rock. Jotaro falls to his knees as he coughs up blood
"Jotaro!" Joseph yells. I rush over and heal him
"Don't underestimate me, you scum. After that geezer Joestar dies, next it'll be" He began as he threw the rock down towards Jotaro. As my stand was steal healing Jotaro, I moved and grabbed the rock so it wouldn't hit anyone. Dan drops the rock and grabs my hand, yanking me towards him
"I like you a lot" He says. I give him a look of disgust
"Jotaro your brain will be the next that I send The Lovers into and kill!" Dan says
I can't wait to hear your pitiful screams begging me to let you go
Kakyoin and Joseph began running
"H-Hey!" Polnareff yelled running after them
"Jotaro! Y/n! Keep him away from Mister Joestar! We're going to get as far away from him as possible!" Kakyoin explains
"Oh, I see. So you think that if you move far enough away, my stand's power will disappear? But one's weakness can also be one's strength. My stand, The Lovers, may be weak, but once it us within a body, I can control it from a distance far greater than any other stand. Even hundreds of kilometers away" Dan says. Jotaro gets up and glares at the man. Dan grabs Jotaro's collar
"Hey, Jotaro! I'm talking to you! What are you looking away so calmly for? Look at me or I'll make you regret it!" Dan says
I'll break your fingers first
"You sound like you're starting to lose your cool" Jotaro says
"Do you plan to follow me until Joseph dies?" Dan asks
"Dan, was it? I will definitely make you pay for this" Jotaro says. Me and Jotaro make eye contact while Dan begins laughing.
"Dan please save me! Those men are gone! T-They forced me on this trip! I didn't want to come! They treat me so terribly and force me to heal them! Please I'm begging you to save me!" I say with pure sarcasm. Jotaro gives me sigh and Dan glares at me
I want to hear you beg for my forgiveness
"You know, you'd be cuter if you kept that large mouth of yours shut" He says
"In your dreams steely boy" I say sticking my tongue out
" I guess I should take a little more from you" Dan says checking his pockets. He grabbed Jotaro's wallet
"Is this all you have? I see that your watch audaciously enough, is a TAG Heuer. I'll be borrowing this" Dan says. We walked to a drainage ditch
"A drainage ditch. I could jump across this ditch, but if I were to trip and twist my ankle, it could be dangerous. It'd be a pain to go all the way to that bridge over there. Hey, Jotaro. Lie down across this ditch and make yourself into a bridge. I will walk across you" Dan says. Jotaro doesn't respond
"What? You're not going to be my bridge?" He asks
"What are you talking about?" Jotaro asks
"I said, make yourself into a bridge! You ridiculous scum!" Dan yells kicking the fire hydrant
Poor Joseph
"What's the matter, Jotaro?" Dan asks. Jotaro begins moving and bends down
"Come on, hurry up" Dan says. Jotaro grit his teeth and put his hands on the other side
"Good. Ladies first my dear" He says. I walk over Jotaro. I get off once I'm at the other side
I'm so sorry
Dan then stomps onto Jotaro back
"You're a rather sturdy bridge, aren't you? Aren't you? Aren't you? Aren't you?" He asks stepping on Jotaro's hand and grinding onto it. He then gets off of Jotaro and now we're all walking.
"You made a nice bridge, Jotaro" He says as we continue to walk
"You would make a great punching bag" I mutter
"What was that?" Dan asks
"Nothing Sir Steely" I say
"Hey, Jotaro. My back itches. Scratch it" Dan says. Jotaro walks over and begins scratching his back
"A little lower. Lower. Yeah, that's it. Don't dig your nails in so much" Dan said. Shortly after they both stopped and we continued walking
~Time Skip~
I was now sitting next to Dan as Jotaro cleaned Dan's shoe. Dan begins laughing. He then kicked Jotaro
"What are you doing? Shine those shoes right, Jotaro! I'm in such a good mood right now! I need you to shine my shoes until they're as bright as I feel right now. I want the sunny sky to reflect right off of them. If you want, you can use your uniform to shine them. Actually, why not lick them clean?" Dan asks
That's just harsh. I'll help you out a little Jotaro
"I need to tell you something Dan" I said acting all bashful as I softly grabbed his face and turned him towards me
"I-" I began but he made eye contact with me so I pretended to become all shy
"What is it dear?" He asks
"I can't even speak. You've taken the words from me just by looking at me" I say dramatically yet the man falls for it anyway
"I'm just that handsome aren't I?" He asks laughing
"Oh yes" I say sarcastically. He snarls at me and then slaps me across the face
That actually didn't hurt
"Do you even lift weights?" I ask
Your welcome
Jotaro was writing in a book
"Hey! What are you writing?!" Dan asks
"I'm writing down everything you owe. I'm going to make sure you pay it. I can be forgetful, so I'm writing it all down" Jotaro says. Dan back hands Jotaro
"Jotaro, you scum. Well, whatever. It won't matter in the end" Dan says.
~Time Skip~
We were now inside of a jewelry store
"Say, Jotaro. Take a look at this gold bracelet. It would make a girl happy, if you were to give her something like this. Say Y/n, would you want that bracelet?" He asks me
"Anything from you, I'd burn" I say with a cheeky smile
"Jotaro, see that space in the glass? Use your stand to sneak through and steal it! I told you to steal it, you idiot! Hurry it up! Or I don't mind breaking the glass and taking it myself. Are you okay with them catching me and beating me? Joseph would definitely die from the pain. Hurry up! The salesman's looking the other way!" Dan says. Jotaro uses his stand and steals the bracelet.
"This guy's shoplifting!" Dan says with a smirk
"You scum" Jotaro says
"Hey, salesman!" Dan says
"Sir! Please don't let him get away!" The man says
"Sure!" Dan says laughing
"What? A thief?"
"Who is it? That guy?"
"That Asian kid? Back where I come from, they chop a thief's fingers off!" Jotaro began to sweat
"Hey, Jotaro. You better not use your stand against civilians" Dan says. Jotaro was then hit on the back of the head with a bat. I fought the urge to go and help him. The three men began beating him up
"Despicable!"
"You thief!" Dan laughed and stole a different bracelet. They kicked Jotaro out.
"Get out of our country!"
"We'll let you go at that. You can keep your fingers!" The three men walked away. Me and Dan walked over as Dan laughed
"That was great! Well done! Because of the commotion you caused, I was able to get my hands on something even better!" Dan says holding the bracelet. Jotaro begins laughing
"Jotaro! What are you laughing about? What's so funny?" Dan asked
"I'm laughing in anticipation of the fun that's to come. I'm laughing because I have much more to look forward to now, and I'm excited! I'm so excited for the moment when I get to pay you back" Jotaro says
I feel the same way
Dan stepped on Jotaro
"Why, you! You seem to misunderstand. Old man Joestar will die within seconds. That's the reality you're facing" Dan says
"Nah. You don't know us very well. You don't know Kakyoin" Jotaro says
"What?!" Dan asks. Blood suddenly came out of his head. I took that moment to get out of his grip and kick him in the face. Successfully knocking him to the ground
"Well, well, well, well. That injury means that Kakyoin's on the attack now. I wonder if I'll still have my chance at payback once him and Y/n are done" Jotaro says as I step on Dan's stomach
"I was right, you do look so good under me. Squirm for me peasant" I say with an evil grin. He yells out
"You devil woman!" He yells
"Don't hate the player, hate the game" I say with a smirk. He began breathing heavily
"Beg for my forgiveness you worm" I say
"What's wrong? Scared of a girl? You're not going to tell us about what's happening to my grandfather?" Jotaro asks
"Would you like a turn?" I ask moving my foot off of Dan. He tries to run but Jotaro grabs him by the hair
"Hey, hey, hey. What are you so panicked about? Where are you trying to go? You aren't trying to run away, are you? Not after all of this" Jotaro says. Dan manages to get out of Jotaro's grip by ripping his hair. He then got on his hands and knees
"Please forgive me, Jotaro, sir! Y/n, ma'am!" He pleads
"Oh yes, beg me for forgiveness" I say laughing
"I admit defeat! I'll change! I'll lie on the ground and lick your boots! I did awful things! You can hit me as much as you'd like! Hit me! Kick me! But please, spare my life! Lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick" Dan began licking Jotaro's shoe
"You look so pathetic. I love it" I say staring at the weak man in front of me
"You're a sadist" Jotaro mutters. I raise my eyebrow as I look at him
"And what about it?" I ask. He pulls his hat down. Star Platinum came out and crushed Dan's stand. Dan yelled in pain
"I figured you were planning something like this. Don't you know that my stand, Star Platinum, possesses excellent eyesight and precise reflexes? Are you sure you did our research on us?" Jotaro asks. I kick Dan in the face
"That's for lying" I say with a glare
"I-I-I'm not planning anything! Your stand's power.." Dan began
"'Your' stand? Just 'your'?" Jotaro asks
"N-No! I-I meant your majesty stand is more powerful. Yes! You and the queen in front of me is physically powerful. I, a peasant stand no match against either of you!" He cries out
Queen? That's new
"P-Please look! That attack broke my arm and my leg! I can't fight anymore! I can't move!" Dan pleads
"Well as for what you owe me. I guess I'll take your arm and leg as payment. Although I can't speak for Y/n" Jotaro says looking at me
"I don't feel as though you've paid what you owe me. Beg some more. Tell me how worthless you are beneath me you disgusting man!" I say. Jotaro sighs at my sudden thirst for dominance. Dan did as told and I was quite satisfied
"That'll do" I say
"Do you swear that you'll never appear before us again?" Jotaro asks
"I-I do! I swear! I'll go to some deserted island! I'll go to the ends of the earth and never come back!" Dan says
"You're not lying, are you?" Both me and Jotaro ask as our faces darkened
"The next time I see you, I'll punch you one thousand times" Jotaro says
"I'm not lying! I'd never lie!" Dan says
"Such a good boy" I coo at the pathetic man. Me and Jotaro then turn around
"Get out of here" Jotaro says as we both walk away. Some kids ran out.
"Jotaro! Y/n! You fools! Take a look at that girl over there! My stand, The Lovers, just went into that girl's ear. He's heading for her brain. Don't you dare move, Jotaro! Y/n!" Dan says laughing
"I'm going to stab you both in the back with this knife! I'll make sure neither of you ever move again! Just try and attack me with your Star Platinum! That girl will surely die! You would never kill such a young child, would you?" Dan asks laughing. Jotaro sighs
"Good grief. Fine, try it" Jotaro says turning around.
"Hey! Don't you understand?! I told you not to- move? Move. Huh? Huh?!" Dan asked as he couldn't move. Jotaro grabbed his wrist
"What's the matter?" He asks
"Weren't you going to stab us?" I ask
"Like this?" Jotaro asks turning the knife towards Dan and stabs him in the face.
"M-My body won't move! Why?! Wh-What's this thing wrapped around me?!" Dan asks
"So you didn't notice? Kakyoin tied Hierophant's tentacle to your stand's leg as it escaped. You must be totally oblivious if you didn't realize that you left a trail all the way here" Jotaro says. Dan began begging once more
"Please forgive me!" Dan yells
"Ask for forgiveness from Enyaba, the woman you killed. We never had any intention of forgiving you in the first place" Jotaro says
"Dio paid me in advance. I-I'll give you that" Dan says shaking
"Good grief. You truly are the lowest scum in history. You can't pay back what you owe with money" Jotaro says. Star Platinum began repeatedly punching Dan. Star punched Dan through a wall. Jotaro then wrote something in the journal and ripped the page out
"Here's your receipt" Jotaro says dropping it. We both walk away
