Chapter Twenty-one: the ascended
Kars picked his child up and let her perch on his wide shoulders, "Wamuu was too pure of a warrior. That purity held him back." (Y/n) heard some vampires bad mouthing Wamuu. That made her sick to hear. Her father did not appreciate it either and immediately drank those vampires dry with the blade on his arm. They would act as some fuel for the fight he was about to be in. "Only (y/n) and I remain.," Kars spoke and took off his head wrap. His long plum locks fell from their impossible binding and his horns were revealed to his enemies. He was ready to fight! He always stood on top in any battle he partook in!
(Y/n) took her father's head wrap and placed it into one of the bags on her belt. The vampires around the cheered as they saw that Kars was ready to fight. Some vampires offered to fight for Kars, saying that he did not have to follow the rules and fight the humans one on one.
The vampires attacked Lisa Lisa and Joseph. The woman was skilled and struck down two vampires with elegant and powerful hamon charged kicks. She was graceful and flowing in her movements as she killed those vampires. She held the stone up for all to see, "I told you before, it is me against Kars. One on one. If you don't like those terms, I'll just smash this!"
"There is no need. I will fight you like I promised.," Kars spoke, "One on one. That is why I revealed my horn. As for these underlings and their behavior? Well, they are already dead." The plum haired man walked away with his daughter perched on his shoulder, his attack was too quick for his opponent to see. The vampires just seemed to fall apart as he walked away. (Y/n) hung onto her father's hair as he walked away. It was not as soft as hers, but it was amazingly plush. The girl was happy that she was with her father and heartbroken that the two warriors she knew all of her life were dead.
She sensed that her father was also grief stricken by their deaths. But he was better at hiding it than his daughter. "My goal is to obtain the stone. However, Esidisi and Wamuu were my comrades for 10,000 years. I must honor their deaths and their pride.," Kars spoke back to his enemies, "I will fight you hamon users fairly and finish this with my own hands. Lisa Lisa, after seeing you fight, I shall not think of you as a woman. I shall fight you with all of my strength. Follow me!"
The hamon users followed the two plum haired beings to a ruined temple that had only ragged structures and support beams left from its glory days. It was not an arena like Joseph and Wamuu had, but it was symbolic and would do well. Kars set his daughter down, she felt him put something into her bag quickly as he did. "(Y/n) I want you to watch from that ledge. It will be the safest place.," the red eyed man instructed his daughter. The girl nodded and climbed to the ledge he had pointed out, it was out of reach of the hamon users and was big enough for her to be on safely. She could watch the fight there.
Joseph and the vampires watched from below as Kars and Lisa Lisa both got onto the Temple structure. Kars offered her to pick a weapon of her choice from a pile that he had some servants bring. Lisa Lisa kicked those aside and told him that she would fight with her scarf. (Y/n) rubbed her eyes as they still had some tears coming from them, she was not done crying for Esidisi and Wamuu. She felt her warm tears fall from her eyes, she could hardly watch the fight happening below her. She felt some of her tears be wiped by an unseen hand.
(Y/n) wiped her eyes and looked around, nobody was with her. Yet she did not feel alone. She looked back to the fight and saw her father stab Lisa Lisa through the torso, knocking her out of the fight. This was a mockery of what Wamuu would have wanted. But this was also part of her father's personality, he was determined. (Y/n) also knew now of another reason for his hatred of Lisa Lisa, the woman resembled her mother. Any hope of Kars developing some respect for humanity died with that woman, a woman whose daughter was the only hung that Kars had left to care about besides the stone.
He needed that stone to become the ultimate being and finally be satisfied. The man held the stone up for his daughter and the observers to see, "The stone is mine! Now, my servants, all you have to do is kill that annoying Jojo!"
The vampire servants did not have to be told twice, they immediately all began to attack Joseph. Kars watched the fight below him in absolute glee. His red eyes looked up to his daughter's position and showed her the stone. She gave him a big smile as tears dropped from her eyes like shining pearls. She was truly happy for her father.
The girl's red eyes cast over the battle below. Joseph was fighting hard to defend himself from the vampires. (Y/n) felt more life energy coming from somewhere, she looked over and saw that it was an army of men. Americans, brits, Germans! Speedwagon, Smokey and Stronheim came to give assistance to Joseph. These humans with those three had mounted lights on them, ultraviolet lights. They were destroying the vampires with those lamps. The plum haired girl looked down to her father, he was watching the fight below him. The girl dropped onto her father's shoulders and looked at the fight, only It seemed that Joseph was not with the other humans. (Y/n) looked around and then behind them, Joseph was climbing the temple to get to where they were. Her red eyes watched him as her father watched the battle below. Her father looked around, "Where is Jojo? (Y/n), can you find him?"
(Y/n) patted his head to get his attention and pointed. Her father followed her gaze to the one behind them. "Of course. I just have to take my eyes off of you for a second and you will start making little schemes like my mischievous child.," Kars said and raised his arm up to let his daughter walk across and jump onto a lower platform. She sat down to watch the chaos around her.
Everything was rather interesting, from the fight that was occurring between Joseph and Kars, to the struggles between the humans and the vampires below. (Y/n) sat above it all and watched everything with keen eyes. She honestly did not know what to watch. She could feel her father's smug energy as he talked down and taunted Joseph. She heard Joseph announce that he had never hated anyone before, but he truly hated Kars with every fiber of his being. The red eyed girl yawned, this was not new. She heard hamon users voice how much they hate her father and uncles before, but they never got anywhere and were cut down easily. However, Joseph was different. He was strong in hamon and very clever.
The girl saw her father taunt Joseph some more by stroking the legs of the woman and mimicking a guitar, he punched a hole through her feet and tied a rope in it then kicked Lisa Lisa off of the platform he was on. Joseph had to grab the other side of the rope to keep the woman from falling. This was just another game for Kars to entertain himself with before killing his prey. (Y/n) looked down to the spike below Lisa Lisa and Joseph as her father taunted the young British man more. She looked over to Smokey and Speedwagon before waving at them. She got a hesitant wave back from Smokey.
(Y/n) was happy to just watch everything, she could fight, but that would put her in danger and her father would be upset if she did put herself in needless danger. Her attention turned to the screaming vampires below her, they were being killed rather quickly with those human inventions. Whether to watch her father fight or watch the humans slaughter vampires, that was the question. There was so much chaos. So much death. She honestly did not like that. The death that she had seen was enough for her for now. She closed her eyes and covered her ears, blocking out the sounds of death and misery around her.
She just wanted to be in a peaceful state again. No fighting. No need for war. She had her fill of violence in that one night. She wanted to not be there. She would have liked to be back at the old hotel they were staying at, to mess with Caesar a little more. Perhaps even read another book there. She could not watch Joseph and Lisa Lisa be killed, the girl had too much of an attachment to the Joestars to feel otherwise. She could sense everything still with her horn. She could sense the anger from her father as he fought the hamon user before him. She also felt his smugness as he toyed with Joseph.
Kars wanted to kill Joseph at his leisure, he was dragging out the torture for his own amusement. (Y/n) took a chance and opened her eyes to look at the scene before her. Her father was going to cut the rope that held both Lisa Lisa and Joseph up, what he did not see was the trap that Joseph had laid out. There was another rope that tied Joseph to Lisa Lisa. This rope was around Kars's foot. He cut the rope and made the two hamon users fall, springing the trap. He was now what was keeping Lisa Lisa and Joseph from falling into the deadly crystal spikes below them. Joseph used the remainder of his charred scarf to pull himself up. He must have set it on fire as a distraction as he made the trap.
(Y/n) felt hamon and rage seeping from Joseph as he attacked Kars, she also felt her father's emotions of fear and desperation. "DADDY!," the little girl cried out to him as Joseph struck the ancient man's blade, shattering it. She felt her father's pain from the hamon as blood burst forth from his arm.
The ancient man fell from the platform and onto the spikes below. (Y/n) felt even more of his pain. She jumped down from her platform and to her father's side. He had been impaled by the metal crystals he fell on. His face was contorted in pain. She pulled her father off of the spikes and saw the glowing hamon traveling up his arm.
Stronheim's voice met her ears, he was confident that he was victorious against Kars and would be the one to kill him. (Y/n) gripped onto her father's arm. Her red eyes watched in horror as the Germans pointed a uv cannon at her and her father, not caring that there was a child next to the man they wanted dead. They did not care as she was Kars's offspring. She could tell that from just watching them. She felt some movement from her father and gripped his hair, "Daddy. They are trying to kill us."
(Y/n) was afraid. She did not want to die. She wanted to stay on this world. The ultraviolet cannon charged up. Her father turned his head towards the light cannon and held his daughter behind his body to shield her from the rays thar would otherwise harm her.
The light hit the stone and activated it, causing the mask's spines to erupt out and pierce her father's skull. His body began to shift and change from the effect of the mask. His fingernails grew even more claw like and his daughter felt his body change more as she clung to his side. His warm body fell back after the mask was finished with its task. The stone fell out of the mask and into his daughter's hands. He rose to standing, his perfection achieved. He did not look much different, but his daughter could sense the massive change inside of him.
He looked at his melting arm as his daughter watched him, staying close to him for protection. His gaze shifted from his arm to his daughter, the little girl looked back up at him with her big red eyes. Kars gave her a small and quick smile before looking away and towards a squirrel. (Y/n) followed his gaze and saw the cute little squirrel. She looked back up to her father when she heard his flesh on his injured arm bubble. It was healed and he made his hand into a squirrel! (Y/n) giggled as it ran across her father's arms and to her to nuzzle her cheek. It jumped away from her and to the other squirrel. It brutally murdered the other squirrel and terrorized Stronheim's men before returning to Kars and becoming his hand again. The plum haired girl felt a slight warmth. The sun! Her father would get to see a sunrise!
She pulled on his other hand and pointed to the rising sun. Kars looked down to his daughter then to the horizon as the burning ball of gas and light rose over the mountains in the distance. Warm morning light washed over their skin. It felt good. (Y/n) could feel her father's happiness of that moment. She was happy then too, she was in the morning sun with her father. "Oh, (y/n). I have waited for so long for this. You and I seeing this fearsome foe together. I have conquered what I used to hide from in fear. If only your mother could have been here with us.," Kars spoke. The screams of the dying vampires echoed over the land before it became quiet again.
Kars's hair flowed around rather majestically, his hand was intwined with his daughter's. "(Y/n), my dear treasure. I am happy to share this moment with you.," the man spoke, "I have now become the ultimate lifeform. I am all life combined into one. To see the daylight is the most wonderful thing after your birth and your mother. It is such a beautiful light, and I have conquered it!"
(Y/n) cheered as her father laughed, she still had the warm red stone in her hand as she jumped up and down in joy for her father's accomplishment. She felt a pair of hands grab her and carry her away as a man screamed, "Run Away!" (Y/n) was naturally startled by this and screamed for her father. Joseph had the gall to scoop the girl up and run. Basically stealing or kidnapping her from her father. Kars did not take kindly to this. The ultimate man screeched as his body morphed. He grew wings in order to fly and give chase after Joseph.
(Y/n) was thrashing and kicking Joseph as he was carrying her, his grip only tightened around her. "Listen, I'm not going to hurt you at all, I just want the stone.," Joseph said as he ran. Smokey followed behind him. "Jojo, what are we going to do?," Smokey asked. "First off, I need (y/n) to give me the stone. I made Kars sufficiently mad by snatching her up like that, so he's after me for that along with killing Wamuu and Esidisi.," Joseph said and jumped down as cliff. Smokey followed. Kars was close behind. The British brunet man kept talking, "You don't have to keep running with me, he is after my blood! He thinks that killing me would be he best way to ring in his new life! I'd rather not die, so please give me the stone."
"There's something you need to hear about Lisa Lisa, Jojo! She's your-," Smokey tried to talk but was interrupted by Joseph. "No time! He's here!," Joseph said as he was finally able to wrestle the stone away from the child. She was allowed to jump out of Joseph's grasp. "Smokey! Don't let Stronheim's men hurt her! Keep her with you and Speedwagon!," the British male said and jumped down a cliff again as Kars swooped in from overhead. Kars's eyes darted to check on (y/n) quickly before he gave chase to Joseph. Joseph had stolen one of the German's warplanes and was flying it around.
Smokey looked on in horror as Joseph flew the plane and led Kars away from the other humans. (Y/n) struggled away from him and ran off. She jumped back to where the other humans were. The Speedwagon foundation members saw her and Speedwagon told the free men to keep an eye on her. (Y/n) heard this order and used it to her advantage. The plum haired pillar child ran back to the hotel, the special forces followed her.
She led them to the old hotel and to where Caesar lay. He would get what he needed now... The pillar child felt her father's pain and continued into the hotel to sleep. Her emotions had exhausted her.
