Every Second Counts
" So, I've heard a lot about you. " JoJo said
" Listen, and listen well. Santviento here, the so-called Pillerman, uses a mask to turn men into vampires. He does that to make them stronger, and then he devours them. Destroy him! Take him out while there's still time! "
" Don't do it, JoJo! He's dangerous! " Speedwagon shouted.
I saw JoJo reach his hand out towards Santviento. He touched his nose and moved away from Santviento.
" You're it. "
He had a child-like smile on his face and he didn't look worried at all. I felt like smacking my head with my hand but I didn't. Santviento did not look amused, not one bit and it made me worried for JoJo's sake.
" I get it. You're one of those strong, silent types, right? Ever thought about modeling? You've got a nice look here. Come on. Let's see what you got. Give me a smile. "
I looked at Von Stroheim and Speedwagon as JoJo continued to talk. They looked like I did. Worried and confused at what JoJo did.
" Work with me here. Make love to the camera. "
He pointed his fingers up like he was holding a camera.
" Ready? Set? Give me happy. Now be silly. Show us those pearly whites. "
He started bouncing around in weird poses and the urge to smack him was increasing.
" JoJo, stop this nonsense immediately! Don't provoke him. Please, JoJo, Santviento is dangerous. " Speedwagon shouted at him.
" Yeah, I know you think he's dangerous, but I have a theory that maybe he's not so bad. Let me test something out here. "
' You're basing all of this on a theory!? '
" Are you insane!? If he's not evil then why did he kill all of my men? " Von Stroheim shouted.
I only sat on the floor and held my head in my hands as they argued. It was ridiculous. I agreed with Von Stroheim for once during this. They were still human and they were killed in seconds. This is not something to test a theory on.
" Anyway, I'm not here to fight, and I'm feeling generous. Come on. loosen up, big guy. "
Santviento wasn't entertained anymore and brushed by JoJo, hitting his shoulder.
" That was rude. Who the hell does this guy think he is? "
He tried to kick Santviento's leg but Santviento's leg bent over his while tearing the cloth on JoJo's pants at the ankle. I knew that if JoJo had no Hamon his foot would have been disconnected from his leg.
" What was that!? That was the weirdest thing I ever felt! "
Santviento kept walking. It was only Stroheim, Speedwagon, JoJo, Santviento, and I left in the room. We watched as he dismantled an entire weapon, like an expert, and put it back together.
' He's learning everything in seconds. '
Santviento didn't seem to like the big UV lights that were on in the corner. JoJo walked up to him and tapped his back with a helmet.
" Hey, big guy, you wanna learn a new joke? Just stop me if you've heard this one before. "
" Stop! "
" JoJo get away! "
' Oh no. '
He started messing with Santviento's ear. I stood up from behind Speedwagon and got repaired to run as I saw something move near Sanviento's ribcage.
" You are playing games, primitive. I do not want to play games. "
I watched as Santviento's ribcage came out from his sides and became sharp. They turned around and faced JoJo.
' He isn't trained in Hamon. He won't be able to block that. If I can make it to him I can block it for hours, but he would only last seconds. '
I left my spot and started running towards the two. I heard shouts from behind me and when I made it to JoJo. I stood in front of him and quickly prepared my arms.
" Hamon block! "
My arms hit the side of his ribs and I could see the Hamon flowing from me. It surged around my body. JoJo was still behind me so I lifted my foot and kicked him back before the ends of the ribcage scratched him. He fell on his back as I stood behind Saviento still holding my arms up and blocking him. My Hamon still surged around me in numerous amounts, flying everywhere.
" Y/n! " I heard Joseph scream.
" That can't be Y/n! Y/n is that really you!? " I heard Speedwagon shout.
" You better believe it Speedwagon! " I screamed.
I pushed the ribs away from me and ducked. I scooted back and away from Saviento. I stood ready to fight him if I had to.
" Sparks, energy. This human seems different from the others. " Sanviento said looking at me.
I watched as his ribs went back into his body and became less sharp.
" The two of them are different. The female was able to hold herself against me with such power and the male...his leg doesn't seem to be damaged in the slightest. "
" He's analyzing us. " I whispered.
" Could it be related to age? "
I watched as he approached Speedwagon and inserted his fingers into his head.
" Speedwagon! "
" Now I see. My instinct was right. Those two humans are unique. "
" Please stop! "
" You'll pay for that! "
I turned and did a spin Hamon kick. I landed on my foot and directed all of my power to Santviento's head.
" Scarlet Hamon kick! "
His hand left Speedwagon's head and caught my foot but I still was able to connect my Hamon. Red Hamon burst from the connection and my foot went through his hand. I watched as half of his hand was missing, it had fallen to the floor. I settled my foot back to the floor and watched as he stared at me. Then he picked his fingers up and reconnected them to his hand.
" Damn. "
" It would seem that humans have improved their confidence. "
I noticed JoJo behind me was getting up from the ground. I also took notice of how he was going to jump punch the pillerman in front of me.
" It seems so. Like you, I have missed a lot about the world. But one thing remains clear. You are more advanced as seconds pass. Not minutes but seconds. Every second you know one more thing about this world of ours. He's all yours JoJo! "
" Thanks, Y/n! One Hamon sandwich coming up! "
I spun away from them and allowed JoJo to fight. I ran to Speedwagon and checked on him.
" Speedwagon are you okay? "
A smile appeared on his face as our eyes connected. He looked old and the blonde color in his hair has faded, but when you looked in his eyes, you could still see his young spirit.
" Y/n, when did you come back? "
" Not that long ago. I've been in New York helping Joseph. Then we learned what happened to you. "
" It's good to see you lass. "
" Ahh, that old nickname. It brings back memories. " You said smiling.
" I see your Hamon is still as powerful as ever. It looks like your power has only increased. "
" It has, Baron Zeppeli taught me and Jonathan well. It was hard to say goodbye to Straitzo in New York when he died. I would have never thought he would reject his humanity. "
" I know, I was surprised as well. I'm glad to see you're alright, lass. "
" It's good to see you too, lad. "
He only chuckled. I stood up and turned back to the situation that was in front of us.
" We can have a reunion later, Speedwagon. For now, I have to help Joseph. "
" You're still the Joestar protector. "
" And sister to the Speedwagon family, and best friend to the Zeppeli household. " I said smiling to him.
