Joseph could faintly hear the anguished and painful cries of his adopted daughter, he knew that she was mourning the death of Kakyoin, Avdol and Iggy. Hermit Purple was helping him to swing across the rooftops to avoid DIO, the relentless vampire that was chasing him wanted his blood. The blood that would complete his fusion with the stolen body of Jonathan Joestar. As a precaution, Joseph wrapped his body in his stand and made hamon flow through it. He had decoded the message that Kakyoin gave him with the destruction of the clock, The World's power was to stop time.
A deadly power. The old man moved quickly over the rooftops as the vampire seemingly flew behind him, trying to catch him but always missing by a hair. He felt his heart rate spike, he was panicking. He had to tell himself to calm down and not panic. 'I don't know the meaning of the word 'panic'!,' Joseph thought to himself, 'I need to think of something to do to defeat Him!'

The old man saw DIO vanish from sight. He landed on a rooftop and skidded a small ways before stopping. Where did the vampire go?! Joseph felt a horrible Aura behind him and turned to see DIO and The World hovering over him. He jumped back quickly. The world threw a punch that was held back, he was not hit. "What's wrong? I thought you wanted to drink my blood?," Joseph said with feigned stutters. "You are using hamon to protect yourself.," the vampire said, "Your stand is wrapped around you like body armor and you are running hamon through it like high voltage wire. You're quite the clever old geezer, such a schemer."
"The same goes for you. (Y/n) told me of your tricks, so I thought to use my own.," Joseph replied, "You realized I was using hamon and made sure not to touch me." DIO made a small laugh, "She did?" "I've also figured out something about your stand, DIO.," the old man said, "Even though you can stop time, you can only do so very briefly, about three to four seconds I would say. If you had more time, we all would have died back at the mansion, Correct?" "I would not have to chase you if I had longer. I'm impressed you figured it out. But that will not save you, you will die like Kakyoin. Even though you know my stand's power, that alone will not save you.," the blond vampire spoke, "Your hamon will not protect you anymore. I don't need to touch you to attack!"

Joseph unleashed his stand that was filled with his hamon, DIO made his stand punch a nearby rooftop decoration to direct the rubble and shrapnel at the old man. The old gentleman fell to the streets below. DIO looked at the pathetic old man on the street below him and let out a vicious chuckle. The old English man saw that DIO was still pursuing him and set off to run again, he stopped when he saw his grandson. Jotaro started to walked to Joseph in order to help his grandfather before the older man yelled at him to stay back and what the power of the enemy's stand was. His words were cut short by DIO stopping time. When time began to move again, Joseph had a knife in his throat and the vampire was much closer to the Japanese teen.
The Englishman warned his grandson to stay back, that DIO was too strong. The old man went limp as his life drained from him. This pissed off the Japanese teen. Jotaro Kujo was pissed. The vampire looked smugly at Jotaro, "I've already taken care of Kakyoin, I would have liked (y/n) to see this too, but she elected to stay with him as he died." Amber eyes scanned the area as the vampire looked around, "Polnareff must be hiding nearby. Hah. But that does not matter. You are next, Jotaro!"
Jotaro was thoroughly pissed now, "Bastard. DIO!" Jotaro got closer to him in order to beat his ass.

-

(Y/n) jumped from rooftop to rooftop. She searched for any sign of her stepbrother and her family. She left Kakyoin after getting a feeling that she was needed elsewhere. Her small body moved fast and she felt like she was gliding for longer periods of time. Her big red eyes looked for any of her family. She had to push aside any care she had for DIO. He was no longer her brother. He was a monster who sold his soul in order to gain power one hundred years ago. A massive surge of energy got her attention as the screams of 'Ora ora' and 'useless' cut the night air.
She followed the sound to see DIO and Jotaro in a duel between their stands. This was her first time seeing star platinum and he was magnificent. Between his colors, his hair and his movements. It was like one of her warriors was alive again.

She watched their battle, wondering how she could help. She was unable to pull her stand out completely. The two men rose into the air from the impact hits of their stands alone. That was so much power. She felt DIO's energy spike as he called the world to make time stop again. She heard him activate his stand. Nothing changed much when time moved again, DIO changed positions and was yelling at Jotaro, Demanding to know if he was able to see in the world of frozen time. Jotaro never gave him an answer and that made him mad.
Jotaro used his stand to move quickly through the air, he looked almost like he was flying! DIO followed, pursuing his target to kill him. They both passed the girl who was watching them on the rooftops. The wind they whipped up blew her hair and dress. The pillar child followed, gliding through the air after them. She had to think of some way to help Jotaro! She remembered that earlier some signs were cut up by some force, that had to be her stand! The blades she saw appear on her arm was a part of her stand! If she could get close enough, she might be able to sever the connection between DIO's head and Jonathan's body.

However, she knew that the vampire would be on high guard now. He might not let her get close. This was going to be tricky. One wrong move and she would be sent back into hibernation for who knows how long? She followed the two and was gliding when time stopped again. She saw DIO fly into the window of a jewelry shop. Jotaro stood outside. The plum haired pillar alighted next to Jotaro and saw that DIO had used the woman who was watching the shop to heal his wounds. So many innocent lives were lost because of his lust for power.
He and Jotaro were so focused on each other. They did not seem to recognize that there was someone else there. The girl was just so tiny. DIO disappeared, (y/n) felt him on a street sign behind her and Jotaro. "Ah, I saw your eyes follow me, Jotaro. You could truly see me in my frozen world.," the vampire chuckled, "And little (y/n) has finally arrived to witness our battle. Excellent." "It seems that I can.," Jotaro answered. "Kakyoin did well for you. Because he figured out the secret of The World's powers, you were able to figure out that you can move during the frozen time, Jotaro. You invaded my space.," DIO spoke and disappeared again.

(Y/n) was up on a rooftop, under DIO's arm. He was looking down at Jotaro, "So, how long can you move in the frozen time? Two seconds, three? Or can you move for five seconds like I can and are just refusing to show me?" Jotaro had a hard gaze looking up to the roof where his aunt and the monster holding her was. "I think you can only move for an instant.," DIO chuckled as he set down the child, "But since you were able to invade my world of frozen time, I need to be a bit more careful and not get too close. Even when I have the overwhelming advantage in this fight." The plum haired child quietly walked behind her stepbrother and let the blades from her stand come out. She would cut DIO down like this.
"I've decided how I am going to execute you! As long as you can't move, it does not matter!," DIO announced as he pulled out the many knives he had hidden on his body. He must have taken those from the restaurant he killed Joseph in front of! Jotaro's face lost some color after seeing this twisted monster's plan. "Oh, you've gone pale. It's almost as if once you saw these knives, you realized that you will suffer a more horrific fate than that geezer Joseph."

Jotaro jumped into the air right as DIO activated his stand and the child swung her stand's blades. She missed, but she saw the deep gauges her stand left behind. Had she made a direct or indirect hit, DIO would have been cleaved cleanly. (Y/n) looked up to see that Jotaro was impaled by several knives that DIO threw at him in the frozen time, the vampire threw one more that found its way into Jotaro's forehead. The Japanese teen fell to the streets, scattering humans in the area. The little pillar girl looked down to the streets, Jotaro looked very beat up with those knives.
She heard her brother's voice from above, "Were you trying to kill me, (y/n)? I thought you were past that stage. I'm glad I moved, your stand has an incredible ability to cut." The vampire's amber eyes looked down to the child below him and her Ruby red eyes met his, "Try to attack me again and I will be forced to hurt you once more, you'll be back in hibernation." The little girl jumped down from the roof and used glided next to Jotaro. She could smell his blood. She could feel his heartbeat. He was alive.
DIO did not know this. The vampire jumped down from the roof, away from the two. "Is he dead? Either way, I have to play it safe. The Joestar bloodline has proved very lucky."

The vampire's amber eyes looked around, "He might just be playing dead. But to ensure peace of mind, I'll just have to sever his head." DIO pulled a streetsign up and swung it around to test it, "Right? Jotaro? (Y/n), move." The little girl did not and let the blades of her stand appear to cut the sign as DIO swung it to sever Jotaro's head. At the same time, Polnareff jumped down from where he was hiding and summoned his Silver Chariot. "Go straight to hell, DIO!," the silver haired Frenchman yelled and stabbed the vampire through the head with a silver rapier, this sliced the fabric band of the circlet that DIO wore. (Y/n) felt DIO use his ability again.
Her tiny body flew into a concrete barrier. She felt some of her bones shatter from the impact. She was glad she left her doll with Kakyoin. The circlet that DIO wore fell to the ground. Polnareff flew into the side of a building. "Too bad, Polnareff! One moment more and with a little more force, you would have torn my brain apart with your rapier!," the blond vampire spoke, "And I am disappointed in you, dear sister, Attempting to kill me with the stand I so graciously gave you as a present in return for the immortality you granted me." The wound on his head healed as he turned his attention back to Polnareff, ignoring Jotaro and the little girl.

DIO walked closer to Polnareff, "You cannot assassinate DIO! Joestar's Egyptian tour group will be no more, once I finish you." "Dio.. no..," the little girl wheezed out. She felt her internal organs were all severely bruised. Many bones were broken, but her skull was left intact. "Quiet. It will be over soon.," DIO spoke and summoned his stand again to attack Polnareff. She could not move as she was healing herself. Her bones would not be able to carry her weight like this. Her breathing was ragged as the bones painfully reconnected together. DIO readied himself to kill Polnareff, "Goodbye, Polnareff!"
Jotaro gripped the ground hard enough to make a noise. DIO immediately stopped his attack and jumped upon the concrete barrier that the little girl was laying beside. She saw him hovering over her. "Jotaro, you're alive. Or just now coming around.," DIO spoke with a bit of a growl. He was observing Jotaro carefully, looking for signs of life and movement. (Y/n) made a gasping noise as her ribcage finally healed and her arms linked back into place. This spurred the vampire to look down for a second, "I warned you what would happen."

The little girl slowly rose and looked past the vampire. There was a pair of cops pointing their guns at the blond man. The vampire noticed them after they yelled at him to freeze or they would shoot. He was behind them instantly after using the world to stop time to move. He punched one dead and grabbed the other by the neck, "Perfect timing. I have someone I need you to kill. Shoot that man on the ground over there. Shoot his head, his torso, his leg, whatever you like."
The cop was in much pain as DIO had his hands inside the man's head like his sister would. The little girl struggled to stand, her legs had not reformed the bones yet. "No.. don't shoot.," the child gasped out as the cop shot. DIO killed the man and looked at the body that was shot in the torso, "Hm. I must have just imagined it. But to be sure... Is he breathing?" The vampire listened for the sounds of Jotaro's breaths past those of his sister and Polnareff. He did not hear anything. The vampire got a little bit closer and placed his ear to the pavement, "What about... his heartbeat?" (Y/n) sensed Jotaro use his stand to stop his heart in order to fool DIO. That was a dangerous gamble to do. "Hm.. I don't hear anything. But... I'll have to remove his head just in case, right?," the vampire chuckled and got closer, "It would have been easier if (y/n) had not cut up that sign earlier."

(Y/n) stood with wobbly legs after picking up DIO's fallen circlet. She was weak. It was taking her a lot of energy to heal herself fully after using such much energy in her attempts to save Avdol, Iggy and Kakyoin. DIO attacked right as Jotaro revived. Star Platinum made a direct hit to the vampire's head right before he stopped time, the impact was hard enough to effect DIO. The vampire must have had the equivalent of a concussion, he felt sick and was struggling to stand. The child behind them was standing and watching them. She saw Jotaro pour gasoline on DIO so he would not get away. Dio stopped time again.
Time moved and DIO was gone. (Y/n) sensed him and jumped up to the rooftops to follow him. The girl followed and found he was going towards Joseph's body. Jotaro fell for the ruse and pummeled DIO, launching him directly to where he wanted to go. Jotaro finally realized it when he looked around.
The dust cleared and DIO was there, powered up, next to Joseph's drained body. "Hmm, it's fitting, fitting so well. It feels good!," the vampire cackled as he scratched his own head and the body he stole viciously before they healed, "This body I stole from Jonathan Joestar is finally under my control! You Joestars have been a pain in my side for one hundred years! But now, all of you are just tools to serve me, DIO!" The vampire let out a demented howling laugh as the wounds closed completely. "And all of this is thanks to you, (y/n)! You helped me get this far!," the vampire said as he looked to the ancient girl. "You're not my brother anymore, you're a monster.," the horrified child said as she gripped one of the lampposts for support.

DIO knelt down and plunged his fingers into Joseph's chest, (y/n) struggled to get to him in time to stop it. She did not make it as DIO sucked the last of his fluids out. "He's sucked bone dry, like you will soon be, Jotaro!," the vampire said and punched the girl away from him as she tried to attack once more. He broke more bones to make her stay put. Jotaro was thoroughly pissed off now. He charged at DIO with the intention to kill him for everything he has done. DIO saw him coming and gave a sinister grin, "So this will be our final round. LET'S GO!"
The girl's hazy eyes saw them disappear into the distance. (Y/n) felt powerless and so alone. She was so scared. With the little bit of strength she had left, she dragged herself to a pay phone and picked up the receiver and dialed the number of the Speedwagon foundation's Joestar support unit. They had only just picked up when she could only gasp out the words 'Help' and 'Cairo' before passing out.

The little girl woke in a transport van. Her red eyes looked around at the Foundation members around her. They were giving her blood through transfusion bags. "Is Dio... gone?," the tiny child asked. One of the doctors beside her gave her a nod, "Jotaro was able to kill him." "Good... Holly is... Safe..," the child said weakly, "How did you find us?" "After you called and asked for help, a woman picked up the line and gave us directions to where everyone was. We asked for her name and information to thank her, but she never gave us any information other than one word, Ivory.," the doctor explained, "However, we did not find anyone when we came to get you." "Ivory... That's the word on my mother's headpiece.," the little girl said as she slowly gained strength back thanks to the transfusion. The doctor's eyes widened slightly and looked away to the front of the transport. The person over the radio said that Joseph was brought back to life thanks to Jotaro's efforts!
(Y/n) smiled faintly and looked over to the one on the stretcher on the other side of the transport vehicle. Polnareff was there, he was awake now. He reached his hand out to the little girl. (Y/n) caught one of his large fingers in her tiny hand, "Pol Pol. It's over. We won." "We did.," the Frenchman said, "We really did." "Pol Pol, would it be okay to come visit you?," the plum haired pillar child asked, "I know you are returning to France." "Oui, I'd love that.," He smiled, "I'll show you around when you do."

Over the radio came another message, Avdol and Iggy were found at the hospital in Cairo. The report said that a woman flagged down a car and asked for help for them. The woman matched the description of the ghost that followed (y/n). The little girl's red eyes filled with tears, that was not just a ghost. That was a guardian angel.
She rested easily and moved to be curled up next to Polnareff, she could sleep easy now that the nightmare was over. A small breeze blew through the cab of the transport, with it a voice that told her that everything was okay now and that she was safe.

The one hundred year curse was over.
