Chapter eighty: Blood stained blades
Rain poured down from the sky. Iggy's hackles were up and the small dog was snarling at the man in front of them. (Y/n)'s red eyes and little fangs were showing as well. Okuyasu was running up in the rain, "Josuke! We're going to make it on time!" "Hold it, Okuyasu. I'm not sure of this is coincidence or fate, but this guy just said a name that I can't believe I heard!," The teen boy said and pointed to the man in the white suit. The tiny pillar girl beside Josuke looked and saw Hayato on the ground. This was Yoshikage Kira, the form that he took to hide! The serial killer tried to run but was punched in the face by Crazy diamond. The plum haired pillar girl went to see if Hayato was okay. Thankfully the boy was fine. But the child was fearful of the man laying on the pavement. (Y/n) sensed stand energy linked to the boy, yet the stand energy itself was coming from the man on the ground, Killer Queen's stand energy!
"Josuke! This is Kira! I know this stand energy anywhere!," the little girl hissed. Josuke began to pummel Kira with Crazy Diamond before the man pulled his stand, killer queen out. Killer queen blocked Crazy Diamond's blows. "I could have killed you all if I wanted to.," the serial killer said, "I was running because I hate fighting." "We're after you for the people you killed, Dumbass!," Josuke spat, "(y/n), Keep Hayato safe!" "The only reason I'll kill all of you now, is because you are a threat to my peaceful life.," the killer said.
(Y/n) pulled Hayato closer to her, ready to summon Avalon if things got dire. She turned to Hayato, "Let's stay put of the way, you can't see this but it is about to be nasty." The boy nodded and the girl pulled him behind the two older boys. Iggy was growling at the serial killer still, watching him carefully, the rain would make it hard for him to control The Fool. "Josuke Higashikata, your Crazy Diamond has a range of 1 to 2 meters. The Hand is similar in range. The dog is a stand user as well, The Fool. As is the child with her berserk stand.," the serial killer spoke. Killer Queen and Crazy Diamond began to brawl. They punched and blocked punches. Killer Queen swiped Crazy Diamond's legs out from under it before getting a foot in the face. The heavy impacts from the two power type stands made Kira go flying. He impacted against the cement wall behind him.
"I can't see it, but that was amazing! Kira went flying!," Hayato said. (Y/n) looked to the brunet boy beside her, "It's even better if you can see it." Her horn picked up some sort of ambient energy, she looked towards the kid's backpack. A faint scent came from it that was not human. "Hey, Hayato. What was in your backpack?," the pillar child asked and the boy gasped. His brown eyes looked to the backpack. "It's gone!," The human boy shouted and both looked back after hearing an explosion. Okuyasu was hit directly with an explosive attack!
"Okuyasu!," Josuke screamed for his friend. The little girl looked to the bomb creating stand in horror. In its stomach cavity was a plant that looked suspiciously like a cat, the plant cat was growling and yowling. Even though she was scared, she could not help to think how her father would love to study that little monster. "Hayato, I must thank you for bringing Stray Cat with you. It is very helpful.," Kira spoke as he looked down at the children and the dog. Iggy growled at him and barked angrily. This made the man angry and he kicked the elderly dog. Iggy's small body went flying as the dog yelped in pain. "Iggy, no!," the little girl cried out and picked up the injured dog. Iggy whimpered as the tiny girl held him. She got bad visions of eleven years ago, when Iggy was kicked into an inch of his life by Vanilla Ice. "An invisible air bubble and an explosion? That is why he was keeping that thing? To use as a bomb?," Hayato asked nobody in particular.
(Y/n) felt bile rising in her mouth. Death. War. Just like those other times. Josuke ran to try and heal Okuyasu, only Kira had unleashed yet another explosive air bubble. Hayato yelled a warning for Josuke to look out for the bubble. The teen punched the ground and made a wall. The bubble exploded on the wall. (Y/n) wondered Where Jotaro and the others were. They had to be nearby. Her horn sensed them just round the corner and one block down from where she was. The heavy rain had to be drowning out the sounds of the battle. Josuke avoided another air bubble barely and was hit with a small explosion that wounded him. But he still ran towards Okuyasu. He did not see it, Kira touched Okuyasu, making the teen a bomb.
Hayato charged forward and touched the body, causing himself to explode. This selfless sacrifice stunned all who saw it. Josuke acted quick and brought him back, picking up Okuyasu's body and healing him. "That was brave and stupid kid, are you really a grade schooler?," Josuke asked, "(y/n)! Come on! Snap out of it!" The little red eyes of the pillar girl focused again and she grabbed Hayato's hand. Josuke believed that Okuyasu would wake up, he was trying to wake his friend up. Hayato was telling him to run. (Y/n) had one arm holding Iggy while the other held Hayato's hand. Bile of fear was eating at her throat. Kira had launched another deadly air bubble at Josuke, intending to kill him. The bubble creeped closer and closer. Josuke still was trying to rouse Okuyasu. "Josuke!," the little pillar girl shouted. The British-Japanese teen took his own blood and threw it at the bubble with his stand, creating a high pressure blade with the blood. The bubble was sliced in two, both halves flew right for Josuke and the kids.
Iggy let out a blood curdling howl and summoned his stand. The Fool threw the kids back as the dog lept into the way. Before he blew up, he gave one last self satisfied smirk to the children. "IGGY NO!," (y/n) cried out as the dog blew up. He gave his life to save them, knowing he would not live to the end of the year. He was an old dog whose time was running out and he used what time he had left to save the lives of those he cared for. Hayato held the smaller child back. Josuke fixed the road and removed the shrapnel from his shoulder, he began to carry Okuyasu with him, not wanting to leave his friend there. Hayato yelled at Josuke to leave Okuyasu there, Josuke told Hayato to shut up and to follow him. Wet pearls fell from (y/n)'s face as she and Hayato followed Josuke into a house to hide.
Hayato tried the phones but found that the line had been cut. Kira had to be doing that to cut them off from the outside world. He was going to pick them off at his leisure. The plum haired pillar girl was still crying. "(Y/n), I understand that you had a connection to Iggy, but you need to focus now.," Josuke said and set Okuyasu's body down, "We have to get into contact with Santana or someone else. Hell, bringing Avalon out sounds like a good idea about now." "I can barely keep him under control. He has a mind of his own. It is all I can do to surpress him right now.," the child hiccuped. Josuke felt for a pulse and his face contorted into one of anger. "Either you will kill him, or I will.," the violet blue eyed teen spoke, "You two, stay by that wall. I don't want either of you to get hurt." The two children obeyed as Josuke kept watch by the door.
A noise made the young pillar be quiet. She heard something. She could not see well with her sore eyes, so she used her horns. A breeze was blowing into the room through a Crack in the wall. (Y/n)'s little red eyes looked beside her as she saw Hayato's hair move. It was an air bubble! It got through with the crack! "Josuke! There's an air bubble! Use that ashtray!," the little girl shouted and pointed to the ashtray on the table next to Josuke, "Kick up a cloud, Like Polpol did in Egypt when we were fighting another stand user!"
Josuke picked up the ashtray and threw the ashes into the air, they could now see the bubble... that was going straight for Josuke. The teen tried, only, it seemed to move to follow him. Like it was tracking him. It did not go to the pack of cigarettes that he had lit as a distraction, meaning it was tracking him in some other way. He climbed up the stairs to avoid the bubble. Hayato was looking outside to try and see how Kira was tracking them. The man was right outside. He was not in a direct line of view because of the curtains and the walls, yet he was somehow seeing what was happening inside the house. Josuke broke a glass vase beside him and shot a piece out of the window, the bubble exploded beside him. (Y/n) caught Josuke as he fell from the second story, she landed heavily on her tiny legs. The explosion made the banister embed itself into the body of the teen. "Josuke!," the little girl gasped and set her stepbrother down. "That hurts like hell.," He groaned, "Move me closer to the window, I'm counting on you." The tiny pillar knew that expression, she nodded and carried her stepbrother closer to the window, closer to Kira. "This glass I have put my blood into, it will react to my blood on his jacket from when I threw my blood earlier.," the teen explained, "(y/n). Pull these things out of me and look around with those horns of yours. Jotaro told me you can see very well with them."
The little girl nodded, she rubbed her little horns and felt around the area, sensing the lives and energy around her. A stand power caught her attention from Hayato. But the boy did not have a stand... unless... She took the lighter that Josuke found and lit it, placing it under Hayato's vest. The vest lit on fire easily. From Hayato's pocket came a picture. The photograph had a massive amount of stand energy in it! The photo dropped a cell phone that Josuke picked up. The little girl helped Hayato extinguish the flames on his vest as Josuke used the phone to direct the explosive bubble to the floating photograph. The picture exploded with force. (Y/n) looked right outside just as the glass bullet hit Kira.
"It's time.," Josuke gasped and got up. He limped out the door and towards Kira, the man was now in Josuke's range. Crazy Diamond and Killer Queen began to exchange blows once more. The British-Japanese teen was tired but was slowing down, he needed to catch his breath. Kira was about to hit him again when he jumped back. A mass of bones shot towards the serial killer. The man looked back and saw the vermillion haired pillar man standing in the rain, his ribs extended to attack. "I thought I heard sensed something over here...," the man spoke, "You... are the man who we must kill..." Kira's eyes seemed a little disgusted by the ribs that slipped back into the torso of the pillar man. "Santana! Get away from here!," (y/n) spoke, "He's not a hamon user! He's a stand user!" "Does not matter.," Santana growled. The rainstorm continued to rage. "Santana?," Josuke gasped, "Get the hell put of here Dumbass!"
The pillar man did not listen to them and let his ribs fly again after getting closer to Kira, the man was sliced by the rib blades, yet that was not enough to kill him as air bubbles knocked the pillar man back. Santana landed on his hands and knees, the cloak he wore settled on top of him. "So this is a pillar man. Not that impressive.," Kira spat, showing utter disdain for the man in front of him. Santana healed quickly from the injuries he had sustained. It was easy for him to heal. Kira sent an exploding air bubble after him that got Santana on the side, only for him to heal himself again. Another air bubble was shot out at Santana before it was suddenly turned away with a sudden and sharp grinding noise. (Y/n) knew that sound. Her red eyes turned to the living Okuyasu.
Okuyasu was alive! The little pillar could not believe how happy she was to see his dumb face! "Ya know, I don't know where all the stuff goes that my stand scrapes away. I'm not really smart, so it gives me a headache.," the dim witted teen spoke and swiped the explosive bubble away. "Impossible! I killed you!," Kira shouted at the teen. Okuyasu looked at Josuke when the teen shouted at him, "Dammit, you idiot! Why did you not wake up when we needed you?!" Josuke's word's were angry, yet his expression was happy and relieved. His best friend was alive. Kira was going to attack again when Okuyasu swiped his right hand again, erasing space and pulling the cat plant stand towards him. The cat plant yowled and growled, Okuyasu held it kindly though. This made Kira angry as he started to attack again, only Santana shot his rib blades out to intercept, slicing his skin more. Kira was knocked into a wall again as Santana opened the flesh of his stomach up, ready to eat the man who he believed was unconscious.
He did not see the stand behind him.
"SANTANA!," (y/n) screamed as Kira raised his hand and pressed his thumb down. The rain stopped as the ash disippated. Santana had been made into a self destructing bomb. His flesh barely melted the skin of the stand user. Not even his clothes were left. What fear (y/n) had snapped. What was in its place was an unholy rage. Jotaro and the others saw the explosive murder of the last full blooded pillar man, Kira had revealed himself to them. They knew who this monster was now.
"There is nowhere left to run, murderer! This heart of justice beats strong within this town!," Hayato yelled at the man who took his father's place. Josuke's crazy diamond punched Kira into the road. "This is not only justice.," the plum haired pillar hissed as she stepped forward, "This is an execution." The ringing of metal blades cut the air. Avalon was no longer being surpressed. The inhuman shriek made by the stand alerted all of the stand users. A woman who was working with the emergency team saw the man in the street and went to try and help him. He was too far away from them. "Okuyasu, scrape him closer to us!," (y/n) ordered and the teen did as she asked. Pulling Kira closer to them. "Josuke, he'll want to try and use his secret ability!," Hayato said, "The ability that allows him to rewind time!"
"Then we need to keep him from doing so.," Josuke growled. The kids ran forward to keep the Emergency Personnel away from the downed killer. Kira was reaching for the woman who was part of the personnel. Okuyasu swiped his hand to drag him away from the lady. Jotaro saw Avalon, signaling the threat of this man they had tracked. Kira attempted to make a bomb but he was caught in the effect range of Koichi's Echoes. The vulgar stand yelled out his anger, "S-H-I-T!" Jotaro moved in the way of the Emergency personnel that were trying to get to the man. Kira was pinned to the ground as he felt boiling rage. Yet the rage was not from him. It was from the one whose red eyes glared at him, glared right through him. He saw a shining blade raise up as the effect of Echoes was removed.
Blood stained the cement. Blood on white fabric, absorbing into skin. The horrified looks of humans who saw the fangs and horns of the tiny monster who lived among them. Her inhuman scream of 'ureeyy' and almost visible stand made the ones who saw her know she was not one of them. Josuke and the others were also horrified by what they had seen. Without a word, the tiny girl lept out of the road and ran away. It was no longer safe for her to be in Morioh after she showed what she really was. She felt empty after letting out all of her built up rage and sorrow out on that man. That man who deserved an execution as brutal as that. "I'm sorry, everyone.," She whispered to herself, "Goodbye. Until it is safe for me to return."
