The Only One Left
Please listen to music when it says.
' So, Dio's back. Great. That's just great. What am I going to do? I know we have to defeat him and I'm all for that. I just, it's going to be hard to see him again. I won't hesitate like last time. I did and he killed Jonathan. I'm not going to let that happen again. '
" Hey, pay attention to where you're walking. "
JoJo pulled my arm and we started heading in a different direction.
" Sorry. "
" What are you thinking about? "
" The last time I saw Dio I was fighting against him with Jonathan and Speedwagon. I hesitated and that lead to Jonathan's death. We thought we defeated him but we didn't. Now that he's back, it'll be hard to see him but this time I will make sure he's dead. "
" Why is he so infatuated with you? "
" We grew up together with Jonathan, your great-great-grandfather. Dio did what he could to make Jonathan's life miserable. Then, I was Jonathan's best friend so he naturally wanted to take me from him. In that process, he grew feelings for me. "
" He still loves you. "
" It seems so. "
" Don't let that get in the way of killing him. "
" I won't. He killed Jonathan. "
We walked up to a house and we entered it. JoJo took off his shoes and set them aside, walking on bare feet. I did the same and we started walking through the house. As we walked by one room I could hear a woman's voice talking.
" Jotaro must be thinking about me at school this very second. "
" I'm not thinking about you. "
The woman shouted and dropped the photo of Jotaro. She was blonde and she turned towards us.
" J-Jotaro! W-Who is that boy on your shoulder? Is that a girl you've brought home!? "
" None of your business. I need to find the old man. Finding someone in this big house sucks. "
" I think you can find him with Avdol right now. They're both in the tearoom. "
We continued walking and he carried Kakyoin without a sweat.
" Hey. You're lookin a little bit pale this morning. You alright? "
" Yay! I'm fine thank you! "
We continued walking to the tearoom and JoJo opened the door and sitting on the floor was a man with dark skin and a red robe. He had gold jewelry around his neck and ears. They were huge and his hair was standing on its own.
Then, there was another man sitting with him. He was old and had a grey beard with grey hair.
' Those eyes. '
A smile came to my face and tears were in my eyes.
' He survived Kars. '
Old Joseph stood up and his eyes were on mine. The smile was still on my face and I felt the tears try and leave my eyes. He walked closer to me and he grabbed my shoulders.
" Hey, Joseph. "
" Y/n! "
He picked me up and hugged me tightly to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought him closer in a tight hug.
" I didn't know when you were coming back! "
" I didn't either. You've gotten old. "
" Hey! I'm just as sexy as I was when we met. "
" Sure. " I said rolling my eyes.
He set me down but kept me close. It was good to be back. The other man stood up and walked over to me. He held out his hand for me to shake and I shook his hand.
" You are the woman I assume Mr. Joestar fought with long ago? "
" That would be me. My name is Y/n. "
" My name is Avdol. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. "
" Nice to meet you. "
I turned toward Joseph and grabbed his arms. He still had a bright smile on his face.
" Where is Erina? Speedwagon? What about that German soldier...Von Stroheim! "
His smile slowly faded and was replaced with a frown. The happiness in his eyes was still there but a little sadness met with it.
" Y/n, we will talk about this in a moment. Let's tend to this man that Jotaro has brought home. "
I nodded and sat down waiting for an explanation. As Jotaro set Kakyoin down Joseph moved Kakyoins hair out of the way to reveal what they called a flesh bud. There was no hope for him, but Jotaro had a different idea. The purple man came out once more and then started taking out the flesh bud. It entered Jotaro but he didn't care. Kakyoin woke up at the same time but he didn't move at all. He pulled it out and Joseph used his Hamon to put the bud to ashes.
' He still can use Hamon. The older you get the less energy you have, meaning the less Hamon you can use. Lisa Lisa was an exception because she continued to train and that increased her use of Hamon. '
" Tell me, why did you risk your life to save me? "
" Dunno...I don't really have an answer for that. "
Jotaro's mom, Holly, came inside and started bandaging Kakyoin's head. I turned to Joseph ready for him to explain everything. That's all my mind was on, was how everyone was doing. Joseph turned towards me and sighed.
Listen to the music now, pwease.
" My mother, Lisa Lisa, moved with me to America. She married again in 1948. I married Suzie Q later. It was hard to get over losing you but I did. Though I had faith you would come back eventually. "
" Well, congratulations. Then you had Holly and then she had Jotaro? " You asked with a heavy heart.
" Yes, that's correct. Granny Erina continued working as a teacher but she passed away in 1950. She was 81 when she died. She died a natural death, old age. "
" Erina..."
" Speedwagon continued to research Philanthropy. He died in 1952 of a heart attack when he was 89 years of age. He never married so he left no family behind to take his last name. The Speedwagon foundation grew however into a big secretive organization. "
' No....Robert. '
" Smokey went to college and he became the first black mayor of Georgia. Major Rudol Von Stroheim died in 1943 at the battle of Stalingrad. "
" So, everyone died? "
" Except for me and Smokey. Smokey is still plenty alive. "
' Everyone's gone. I'm the only one left. '
More tears came to your eyes and you wanted to cry. You never got to see Jonathan again because he was killed after you left. Now, Speedwagon and Erina both died before you could say goodbye. You stood up from the floor and walked to the door.
" Excuse me. "
You walked outside and away from the room. There was a small pond in the middle of their home. You walked to the edge of the grass and sat down. You stared at the water and then let your tears fall freely.
' I'm the only one left. Everyone else died. Erina...Speedwagon....Why can I never get the chance to say goodbye to anyone? Now Erina and Speedwagon are gone. I'm the only original person left from the fight with Dio. I'm the only one left of Jonathan's time. All because of my birthmark that I didn't even ask for! I'm never gonna hear Speedwagon call me 'lass' again or have warm hugs from Erina. '
Tears fell down your face and you didn't care if anyone saw you. You knew no one had followed you.
' No one I know is left except for Joseph. But he's not from my original time. Erina, Baron Zeppeli, Speedwagon, and Jonathan are all dead. Like I should be. I should have died a long time ago with Erina and Jonathan. With Speedwagon. Or even with Caesar or with Baron Zeppeli! I shouldn't have survived as long as I have. '
You covered your eyes and tried to stop the tears, but they kept coming. You wrapped your arms around yourself and just stared at the water.
' The only one left is Dio. He's the only one left from Jonathan's time. '
" Need some company? "
You looked behind you to see Kakyoin approaching. He had a bandage around his forehead and a small smile on his face. You shrugged and turned back towards the water. Kakyoin sat beside you but you didn't turn towards him.
" Mr. Joestar explained to everyone the situation. How you came from another time. How you got here. "
" It's great, isn't it? " You said sarcastically.
" I'm sorry. To hear about how everyone you knew passed away, without you getting to say goodbye is awful. "
" It was Jonathan, Baron, Speedwagon, and I. We were the originals that faced Dio. Baron died in battle, and I was transported to Joseph's time. I learned that Jonathan died while I was gone. The only ones left were Speedwagon, Erina, and me. Now everyone is gone, except for me. I should have died when they did, but here I am still young and healthy. Everyone else is gone. "
Kakyoin put his hand on your back. His hand was warm and provided some warmth for you. You stopped crying and looked at him. His smile was small and his eyes were warm.
" That might be true, everyone you know is gone, but you will always have them in your memories and their spirits in your heart. And you have us here. JoJo and I are here along with Mr. Joestar and Avdol. We're all here for and with you. You are never alone. "
" Thanks, Kakyoin. "
" Hey. "
We turned around to see Jotaro calling us.
" Both of you come in here. We need to see how we can get Y/n's stand out. "
I nodded and stood up from the grass. Kakyoin and I walked inside and sat down with the others.
