EOH part 8
The sickening sound of bones cracking echoed as (y/n) landed a heavy kick on Enya. The old woman rolled on the ground and coughed, only for more bones to Crack from her hand being crushed under the foot of the pillar woman. The old woman was gasping in pain by the end of the quick beating she got. All of her zombies had been destroyed. "You beat me, you betrayed him!," the old woman hissed before cackling, "My job here is done. I have determined that you Joestars have collected eight corpse parts!" The woman started to glow the eerie purple light as she was starting to be transported. (Y/n) quickly jumped back to not be caught in the light. The pillar woman fell back, caught by Santana. This was only the start.
The air and world around the Joestars and pillars seem to warp and tear. The ground rumbled under their feet. "IS THIS AN EARTHQUAKE?!," Speedwagon shouted as he could barely keep his balance. "This is not an earthquake... but I know what it is somehow.," Giorno responded. "Oi Oi Oi. What is this feeling?!," Josuke exclaimed. Jolyne shivered, "I don't know why, but I just broke out in a cold sweat." "It feels like this pressure is digging into my soul.," Joseph shuddered. Jonathan agreed, "A pitch black sensation." "What is this heavy feeling?," Wamuu asked as he too felt the overbearing pressure of this evil presence. A cold sensation took over (y/n)'s body as she remembered what it was that she was supposed to know, "He's here. He's calling us to him."
Their world seemed to tear apart around them, a world of empty space replaced it. A sheet of water like surface below them reflected the starry sky above. The water rippled below the feet of the ones standing on it. The faint sound of splashing made (y/n) look over to the one heading their way, Jotaro saw him as well. The shock of seeing the enemy made Jotaro go quiet. The man made his way closer and closer to the group, "The Holy Corpse repels all evil. However! At the same time it seeks its other parts.," The voice was familiar and terrifying to the Joestars as this man walked up. The watery surface they stood on rippled as he walked closer. In his arms was a tiny plum haired girl, fast asleep and unaware of everything around her. "The parts you hold reacted to the spine that I possess and brought you into my domain.," the blond man spoke as he walked closer. His long golden hair and white cloak billowed behind him.
His pace was a confident swagger as he walked towards his enemies. Jotaro was not happy at all to see the face of their enemy, "Gimme a fucking break. I never wanted to see you again, DIO!" Kars stepped up closer to Jotaro after he saw what DIO was holding, who he was holding. "(Y/n). Release my daughter at this moment!," the godlike man growled as his blades appeared from his arms. DIO seemed almost amused to finally have a face to the man who fathered the plum haired child.
Johnny charged forward and shot some sort of item towards DIO. The blond man called forth his almost alabaster stand to deflect the 'bullets' shot at him. "Careful now. You could have hurt (y/n).," the powerful man taunted, "This is what put Valentine into checkmate? Useless." The world's white sheen held a smirk as he and DIO both charged forward to attack the paraplegic. Giorno intercepted the attack with Gold Experience Requiem. The attack was suddenly nullified as soon as The World's fist met Gold Experience Requiem's. Giorno was knocked back by the man in front of him. It was Jotaro's turn. Star Platinum charged forward and successfully clocked DIO in the head, crushing his skull. The impact caused the vampire to stumble back and almost drop the child he was holding. But, he looked perfectly fine after a but of space warped around him. For a second Jotaro thought he saw the little girl's red eyes open before she disappeared from DIO's arms. Kars charged forward with his blinding speed and slashed DIO multiple times.
The cuts that the blond vampire sustained disappeared from his body. DIO cackled, "Such weakness! Useless effort!" The four were launched back after being pummeled by DIO's stand. Kars got up after being knocked down and went to attack DIO once more. The blond villain stopped the attack easily. "Where did you send my daughter?!," Kars demanded before getting pummeled again. The second one was worse than the first, knocking Kars down for a long period of time. Ivory went to Kars' side as DIO's taunting laugh echoed around. The other Pillar men charged forward to attack after their leader was downed, only for the same to be done to them. All of them were on the ground and in pain afterwards.
"How can someone like him be so strong?," Santana growled, "He's just a vampire." "What happened? Why didn't requiem work?," Giorno gasped out in pain. Johnny was pissed, "He took a direct hit from Tusk act 4! How is he unaffected?!" Jotaro was knelt on the ground, in pain from the beating he got, "I know I caved his skull in with Star Platinum. This ability he has, it is different from Vampiric regeneration or the world's power to stop time." (Y/n) was shaking as Dio's now golden eyes moved from the ones on the rippling surface towards her. For a moment she saw a little disappointment before his smirk returned. That self confident smirk that he had since he was brought to the Joestar manor.
"I was told that the Joestars of this world had defeated me. I had to see it for myself. But, if those stands are all you got, I fail to see how. Unless (y/n) had a hand in undoing me since she survived here.," the lilac skinned vampire spoke and raised the corpse part he owned into the air. The other parts reacted to it, calling them in. All except Jotaro's. A sudden spike in power caught (y/n)'s attention. DIO was reveling in the sudden increase of power he had. A dark aura swirled around him before breaking off into several parts and flew towards the Joestars and friends. Kars got up quickly and knocked Ivory back into Speedwagon's arms, shielding them from the aura surge. Wamuu threw Johnny and his horse back to take the hit for him. Esidisi was caught in the other one. Santana threw (y/n) back to save her from the one directed to her By DIO.
She and the rest were enveloped in a bright and warm light, saving them from the other surges of dark aura thrown towards them. Ivory called Kars' name as she and the others were transported away to a safe place. They had been taken to Air Supplina island. Ivory was crying in Speedwagon's arms as (y/n)'s legs crumbled under her. The pillar woman felt sick. She was shaking and in a cold sweat. The pressure from Dio's energy was crushing. "Were... safe.... Jotaro's corpse part brought us back to Air Supplina Island.," Her voice was shaky as she held back her nausea. "We were brought to safety!," Speedwagon exclaimed. "Yeah, but at what cost? Kars and the others took the hit from that black mist for us to be able to get away.," Josuke grimaced, "(y/n), are you okay?" "That was DIO!," Jolyne hissed out. "We lost all except one corpse part.," Jonathan spoke sadly. Johnny jumped onto his horse and screamed, "DAMMIT! He hugged those attacks off like they were nothing."
"Requiem has the power to prevent any reality from happening.," Giorno spoke, "When my stand's fist hit his stand's, I was sure that it was activated. My attack was negated, as if I never had it in the first place!" Drops of sweat fell from the pillar woman's face, "Just like what he says, 'muda', our abilities are made null before him. His stand is beyond that of a requiem... he has gone over heaven...." The pillar woman's body shook, still feeling remnants of Dio's vast power. The young woman was helped up by Joseph.
"(Y/n), how did you come into contact with him? What did he mean that you survived?," Joseph asked. "In his world. His (y/n) died. He found me in the distant future. The Joestars faded away. I was alone and dying of starvation when he found me.," the young woman answered, "He asked me my name. Once he heard my name, he saved me from starvation and took me from isolation." "And his comment about you surviving?," Jonathan asked. "His (y/n) was killed by the you in his world. She died in pain, trying to get them to stop fighting, hamon destroyed her.," the plum haired woman replied, "just like in this world. His 'me' adored him and his world's Jonathan... He removed all of the past 'me' from this struggle to keep them out of the way of this battle." "At least we know that the past yous are safe.," Jonathan sighed, "Do you know where he is keeping them?" "A small space that is very comfortable. They all have been put into a state of minor hibernation.," the pillar woman replied.
"This is insane.," Josuke said, "This should not be happening." Ivory was wiping the tears that were dropping from her eyes after Speedwagon helped to calm her down. It was a tense and devastating moment for the Joestar group. However their solitude was soon invaded by an outside force. (Y/n) sensed the energy and looked up to the balcony above them, followed by Johnny. It was the blond man in the strange outfit again. Johnny knew who he was. "VALENTINE!," the jockey shouted in anger.
"I have no need for you now. The one I am here for is... Jotaro Kujo.," Valentine said, "You are going to fight me." "Jotaro. Be careful with this guy. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is a powerful stand.," (y/n) warned the teen. "(Y/n). I'm surprised you would turn against him, especially since he saved you from death.," the blond American spoke to the pillar woman. "Asshole.," the plum haired pillar girl hissed at him. "I don't know what you're planning, but you asked for it.," Jotaro said. "I'm kicking his ass as well!," Johnny shouted and rode slowdancer up next to Jotaro. (Y/n) and the others stepped back to give them room. The plum haired woman stood next to Speedwagon and her mother. She understood how her mother felt. (Y/n) felt the fear and despair over losing her father. Speedwagon let Ivory hold his arm as they watched the battle before them.
The battle between Jotaro, Johnny and Valentine was a pretty intense fight. Tusk's spin, Star Platinum's barrage and D4C's trickery. All of them got pretty good hits on each other. Valentine used a flag he carried to disappear and reappear at will. This man from another world, his actions looked violent, yet (y/n) did not sense any malicious intent in his challenge to Jotaro. Jotaro and Johnny were able to defeat Valentine. The blond American accepted his loss and called the others over. "I am sorry for the bold challenge, but I needed to test you. Your Star Platinum is the same type of stand as DIO's!," the man spoke, "That is why your corpse part was not stolen."
The blond man shifted his weight on his feet, "Look, I'll be brief. I originally wanted to gather the corpse parts that and only that. However, when Johnny fired his infinite spin energy, I was sent flying through dimensions. I was unable to stop it. I normally could control my travels with my stand, but I was too unstable." The group listened to him speak. "Parallel worlds, right beside each other. I kept falling until I met him.," Valentine explained, "He, like in this world, fought you in 1988, however... he was the victor in that battle. He overcame and devoured the Joestars, evolving to his final stage. I was unable to escape him. His power is incredible, infinite. He made the effects of the spin disappear with the wave of his hand." This information put all of the group on edge. Valentine looked at all of the Joestar group one by one.
"When DIO discovered that he had only conquered one of many worlds, he set his sights on this one and began his invasion.," the blond man finished. "So, what do you want me to do about it?," Jotaro asked. "To defeat him, like you did in this world. I was only pretending to be with him in order to find someone to kill him.," Valentine replied, "I would have asked (y/n), but I don't know if her ability to consume is quicker than his stand, The World Over Heaven. It's power, it's complete ability is a secret." (Y/n) looked to her mother as Valentine was talking. The ivy green eyes of her mother looked back, a mother's love and worry shining in them.
Johnny interrupted Valentine, ready to shoot him again, "He's lying! Like he always does! There's an ulterior motive!" "Not this time, Johnny.," (y/n) spoke up, "He's telling the truth. This act is a selfless one." "I never wanted the corpse for my own gain. I wanted to protect my country and it's people. Everything I did was for that goal.," Valentine spoke directly to Johnny, "However, What DIO plans transcends my country, transcends this world! He has to be stopped at all costs! And you, Jotaro, you are the one who can!" "Valentine, what do you propose?," The plum haired pillar woman spoke. "DIO will more than likely disperse the corpse parts to his underlings. Do as you were before.," the blond replied, "defeat the underlings, reclaim the parts and your lost allies!" A resounding agreement rippled through the group.
"I heard the DIO of this world has already been defeated, are his remains still present?," the American asked. Jotaro was a little confused, "Hm? What are you talking about?" "Stop! Don't listen to another word he says!," the jockey Joestar yelled. Valentine huffed with a smile, "I understand why you are so cautious. I can also understand why you are concealing that gun you have." Johnny pulled out the firearm he had hidden, "This is the gun you used to shoot Gyro. Now it is time to do the same damn thing to you!"
Valentine caught them off guard by drawing an exact replica of the firearm and throwing it towards Johnny. The paraplegic threw his in response, "No way!" The two guns flew past each other before attracting each other back together and colliding in a massive explosion. "That is why. If two of the same objects from different worlds come into contact with each other, they will cancel each other out and disappear.," Valentine explained, "DIO does not know this." "Hold on. That does not make sense.," Younger Joseph spoke up, "I touched my grandpa self from 50 years in the future, we did not explode." "Because you two are from the same world, Joseph. Your future self is you from the future of this world, no other.," (y/n) explained, "Now if you came into contact with one from another world, boom. No more annoying Jojo smartass." "This DIO will 'go boom' should he come into contact with the remains of his world's DIO.," the blond man spoke, "If we are lucky, we can erase him before he can use his powers."
"If we fail, goodbye world.," (y/n) hissed, "Dammit Dio. This is my fault." "Stop that.," Jotaro shot back at her before turning to face the one before him, "His body has turned to ash, the sun already touched it. There is nothing left." "I see. How unfortunate.," Valentine sighed, "That is all I wanted to tell you. I only ask of you to do what is right." The earth around Valentine shook as a light flashed and he disappeared. The Joestars were alone again. (Y/n) looked to Jotaro, then her mother before she lept onto the tall walls that surrounded the arena. Avalon sat beside her as she looked at the moon. They both looked at the moon quietly as the ones below talked.
Quiet thoughts, dark thoughts, ate at her soul and mind as she did.
'This is all my fault.'
