Chapter 27: The World

EPISODES 45-48

For thy finale of part 3 is here

Y/n's POV

Jotaro broke a wall and we saw Polnareff.. only Polnareff(ba-dum-tss your friends are dead)

We all pointed because we're cool

"M-Mister Joestar!" Polnareff says

"Don't worry, Polnareff" Joseph says

"Dio!" We all yell as he flies away. I pull out my stand and quickly heal Polnareff

"That was Dio, wasn't it? We're going after him!" Joseph begins running. Everyone except me and Polnareff followed after

"Before you go after him, let me say this. I just experienced his stand, just for a moment. Actually, it wasn't so much an experience. It was completely beyond my understanding. I-I'll tell you exactly what happened. I thought I was climbing the stairs towards him, but before I knew it, I was actually going down! I-I'm sure you guys don't understand what I'm saying, and I don't know what he did, either. I thought I was going insane. It wasn't anything simple, like hypnosis or super speed. I experienced something much more terrifying" Polnareff says. I finish healing him

"Where are Avdol and Iggy?" Jotaro asks. Everyone turns to him

"Th-They didn't make it. They died saving me" Polnareff says. I felt sad, no sad was an understatement. Even though I had known them for such a short time, it felt like I'd known them for years. Sadness didn't begin to describe how I was feeling. It was like I lost a part of myself. Yet feelings something so strong, no tears left my eyes nor cries left my mouth. I was silent. Maybe I haven't fully processed it but I didn't grieve in that moment. I just accepted it, I guess

"I see" Joseph says

"Mister Joestar, the sun is setting. We must hurry" Kakyoin says

"You're right" Joseph says. I could see the pain on Joseph's face. Kakyoin then took the collar from me

"Hey, Nukesaku. What's above this floor?" Kakyoin asks

"A-A tower. There is a single room at the very top. Lord Dio stays there during the day" He says

"Do any other staircases lead up to that tower?" Kakyoin asks

"N-No. These stairs are the only way" He says

"All right. Lead the way" Kakyoin says. We all walk up the stairs. I take my leash back from Kakyoin

"You could've asked first" I say. When we get to the room, we all see a coffin. Jotaro pulls out Star Platinum. He then punches a wooden window blocker(idk what its called). The man on the leash screams

"So that's him. The man we're about to face is one I've never met, yet one I've known for so long" Joseph says.

"Hold up. I know we're short on time and everything but I gotta ask. So you're telling me Dio, who is immortal and rich. Sleeps in a coffin? A coffin?! Im pretty sure he could by thousands of beds yet decides to sleep in a shaped wooden crate?" I ask

"Y/n-" Kakyoin began but decided it wasn't worth it

I have no regrets about this journey. YOLO anyway so

"Once he steps out of the coffin, we'll attack. But be careful. There's no guarantee that he's in there. Nukesaku, open the lid" Joseph says. I remove the leash from said man

"L-Lord Dio, I promise, I did not betray you. It's because I truly believe in your power that I led them here. As certain as when you pee in a strong wind, it'll get in your pants! Please understand!" He says

"Shut up and open it already!" Joseph says

"Make sure you kill these pieces of trash, Lord Dio!" He says beginning to open the crate

"He's going to come flying out!" Joseph says. The dude opens it and then suddenly he's in there with his mouth all bloody

"Huh? Me?! I-I was the one inside?! But I was the one that opened the lid!" He says

"Wh-What?! How?! I never took my eyes off him! Did any of you see the moment Nukesaku entered- No, was put into the coffin?" Joseph asks

"No" I say

"N-No, I was watching the whole time, but when I realized it, he was already inside!" Polnareff says

"It's as Polnareff said! This is not merely a trick or super speed!" Kakyoin says

"We're in danger. Something here is truly dangerous!" Jotaro says

"Run!" Joseph says. We all jump out of the window. As we're all falling, I realize.

My stand can't do what theirs can

Jotaro must've realized as he grabbed me by the back of my shirt

"What in the world was that? I didn't actually see it, but it felt much more powerful than any other stand we've encountered so far. It was like knowing a bulldozer is present from the sound of its engine alone" Kakyoin says

"I felt it, too. It was incredible murderous intent! It felt like someone stuck an icicle up my you know what! If we had stayed in there, we would've been killed, one by one!" Joseph says. Everyone except for my useles- amazing self grabbed onto a weird button thingy. We all climbed up- Jotaro carried me up. That's when we noticed it was sunset

"This is bad. This is extremely bad. The sun's almost out of sight!" Joseph says.

"His time has come" Kakyoin says

"Don't say it like that, you make him sound like he's some prophet" I say. Kakyoin smacks me upside the head

"What?! I'm coping with my friends death's!" I say

"Don't tell me that we're going to be helpless until sunrise tomorrow. I'm telling you now, Mister Joestar, there's no way I'm going to run away now!" Polnareff says

"I agree with Polnareff" Kakyoin says
(And that's why one of you is a turtle and the other one is dead)

"I feel the same way, but the situation has changed. We've encountered his stand, The World, but we have no idea what it does. When climbing a mountain, if you don't know the route, or where the summit is, you are guaranteed to get lost. Guaranteed! It's inevitable as belching after you drink a cola. We know Dio will come after us. He'll try to finish us before sunrise. In that time, we'll have the opportunity to figure out his stand's true ability. We have to wait for that chance"  Joseph says

"No! I can't run away! Avdol and Iggy died for me! I'll do underhanded things, and even go to Hell itself, but I will not run away!" Polnareff says running away

"Wait, Polnareff!" Joseph says reaching out for him

"It's no use trying to stop him, old man" Jotaro says

"Jotaro, tell us what you think we should do" Kakyoin says

"Polnareff is fighting him as he pursues him. We'll fight him as we retreat. That means we'll be in position for a pincer attack" Jotaro says

~Time Skip~

Me, Joseph and Kakyoin were trying to get a car

"Hey, you there. I want to buy that truck. Sell it to me" Joseph says

"What'd you say? I need this to do my job! What're you-" Joseph holds out money. Joseph gets the truck from him

It's only a two seater

The guy exited the vehicle and Joseph got in the driver's seat. Kakyoin got in the passenger's, and I sat on his lap

I wish it was Jotaro's

"I'm flooring it, you two! I suggest you hold on tight Y/n" he says. I wrap my arms around Kakyoin's neck hoping if we crash it'll help me

"The black atmosphere that emanates from him is still close. It's coming after us. He's coming after us!" Joseph says

"Can Dio tell exactly where you are, Mister Joestar?" Kakyoin asks

He smells like cherries

"No. His body is that of my grandfather, Jonathan Joestar. We can sense each other due to something like a strange wavelength between us, but we can only tell that the other is close, not where he is. I couldn't tell exactly where the mansion was, either, even though wee were nearby. All he can sense is that a Joestar is nearby. He can't tell the different between Jotaro and myself. He shouldn't be able to realize that Jotaro and I have split up" Joseph says. A car is now behind ours

"He's getting closer. It's that car! Dio's in there!" Joseph says. Kakyoin let's out Hierophant Green

"Kakyoin!" Joseph says

"Wh-What is he?! He didn't move so much as move from his seat, but he managed to dodge with just one finger! How about this?! Even when I concentrated the Splash, he dodged. When did he release his stand? Impossible! How could I not notice?!" Kakyoin asks. He was now panting

"Hey, are you all right?" I ask. He shakily nods

"Careful, Kakyoin! You got too close to him!" Joseph says

"I-I apologize. I-I couldn't help it" Kakyoin says. He then began to bleed.  I pulled out my stand and began to heal him

"Kakyoin, are you all right? Did you see The World?" Joseph asks

"Yes. I attacked from around ten meters away. If I had gotten any closer, I would've been done for. It'd obvious his stand has some terrifying secret far beyond anything we can imagine. But I've managed to figure out two things. First, it can't attack over a distance like Hierophant Green and Hermit Purple. It's a close-range power type, like Star Platinum. It's range is about ten meters. Second, it attacked with its fist. So it doesn't used ranged attacks, like bullets. If we can get within ten meters of Dio without him noticing, I think we may have a chance at defeating him" Kakyoin says. I finish healing him

"We need to investigate carefully. There's no such thing as being too cautious when it comes to him. That's strange. His car stopped" Joseph says. Kakyoin turns

"Watch out! Something's flying at us!" Kakyoin says. A body then breaks through the glass causing Joseph to lose control" Joseph says. Kakyoin's arms wrapped around me

"Mister Joestar! Y/n!" Kakyoin yells. I quickly form shields around the three of us as the car crashes and lights on fire. Once we were out of the car. Kakyoin picked me up and we all escaped over the roof. I dropped the shields

"What are you doing, Kakyoin?" Joseph asks

"I've got it. I've figured out a way to reveal what Dio's stand truly is" Kakyoin says

"What?!" Me and Joseph both ask. Kakyoin continues carrying me as him and Joseph use their stands to travel around from building to building. We then got to a roof and Kakyoin put me down. We saw Dio and Kakyoin's stand kept using Emerald Splash. Suddenly Dio was surrounded by Hierophant's barrier

"That's right. Hierophant's barrier, which activates when touched, completely surrounds you for 20 meters in every direction! Now I can sense both your movements and The World's! Take this, Dio! 20-meter radius Emerald Splash!" Kakyoin says

"You fool. You shall soon know that The World's true power is, indeed, the power to reign over this world! The World!" Dio says. Next thing we know Kakyoin's gone flying. My eyes went wide as I watched blood fly from Kakyoin

No!

"What?! Kakyoin! He was suddenly blown away! Impossible!" Joseph says. He landed on the side of a water tower

I need to save him. I can still help him

I began walking towards him

"Kakyoin!" Joseph says

He's going to be okay, I'm here. Ill just use my stand

"Y/n you need to stay focused" Joseph says

"I can help him though" I say

"You can't turn your back on Dio" Joseph says

"You think if I went to Kakyoin, he'd attack me. Do you realize how dumb you sound at the moment? Not only am I the weakest out of all of us here, I have no fighting ability. Therefore why would Dio take me out when he has threats surrounding him, to me it sounds counterproductive" I say as I get towards the edge

"Y/n, you need to be aware of your stand's limits" He says

"I know, what it can and can't do!" I say as I know I'm losing time to save Kakyoin

It's too far, if I were to jump, I'd fall to my death unless I activated my shield but I need that energy to save Kakyoin. I've already healed twice today. Why is my stand so useless?! All I need to do is save Kakyoin! And I can't even get there. He's going to die soon if I don't do something. Please just get me to him, I'll do anything

I close my eyes and snap my fingers hoping I'll think of something. I open my eyes to see that I'm beside Kakyoin
(I was debating on whether to kill Kakyoin or not. I was going to kill Kakyoin so I could milk the angst but I was like Uncle Kakyoin with Jolyne would be kind of cute so I kept him alive. Also you're going to learn two things about your stand that I will explain now

1. Because Jotaro can suddenly stop time, you can suddenly teleport and because I'm enjoying this I'll even give Y/n the ability to teleport anywhere she's ever been or to a person she knows

2. This has been here since the beginning but I didn't disclose it because Y/n hasn't told anyone there fore why would I tell you? But when healing Y/n has the ability to drain someone's energy and take it as her own which means she can heal without getting tired, the only issue is that it will knock out whoever had energy taken from them from anywhere from an hour to a couple of days depending on how much was taken.

Okay that's all)

What?

I quickly pull out my stand and begin healing Kakyoin. I put my hand on his cheek

"You're going to be okay, I won't let you die" I say. Kakyoin didn't respond

"Kakyoin!" Joseph yells

"I'll save him! Worry about yourself Joseph!" I yell as I continue to heal Kakyoin

"I need you to tell me what you've figured out before I knock you out for good" I say

"How dare you do that to Kakyoin?! I'll take that body back, for my Grandma Erina!" Joseph says

"Erina? Ah, that country girl. How foolish. I shall drink your blood and kill you" Dio says. I watch Kakyoin manifest his stand and it prepares for an Emerald Splash

"What are you doing?" I ask. He suddenly coughs up a bunch of blood. I speed up my healing. He began panting

"Joseph Joestar! Die!" Dio yelled. Kakyoin prepared Emerald Splash once more and shot the clock

"Stand.. time.." he says weakly

Dio's stand has something to do with time

"Can he stop time?!" I ask

"Ye..s.." He mutters

"Thank you, I'm now going to put you to sleep" I say taking away his energy. He immediately falls unconscious

He won't wake up for a couple of days

I grab onto him and snap my fingers once more. Kakyoin is now laying flat on the roof below the water tower. I continue healing him

I told you I wouldn't let you die

"What? He didn't even aim in the right direction. I suppose he wanted to use up the last of his strength to go out with a bang" Dio says

"Hermit Purple! And take this! The sun's own energy, Hamon!" Joseph says

"You old fool! Your stand is one of the weakest of them all! I won't let you get away!" Dio says. I continued healing Kakyoin

I've managed to stop all internal bleeding, he's only externally bleeding now. Once I finish that up, I need to take him somewhere safe. I manage to finish up his external bleeding. He's spotless now. I grab onto Kakyoin and think of where I want to go

Kujo household

I snap my fingers and I'm there. I lay Kakyoin on the ground and grab a pen and paper.

Whoever is reading this, take good care of him

Y/n~

I put down the note infront of Kakyoin

I'll be getting back now. Jotaro Kujo

I snap my fingers and I appear beside him. Jotaro turns to me wide eyed

"Hey" I say

"Kakyoin?" He asks

"He's alive, he's at your house" I say

"Ho-" Polnareff began

"Let's ask questions later" I say

"Also The World can stop time" I say. Thry both looked at me shocked

"Time?" Jotaro asks

"That's what Kakyoin said" I say. We then see Dio chasing after Jotaro

"It's Mister Joestar! Dio's chasing after him" Polnareff says

~Time Skip because idk where Polnareff went. Okay he suddenly appeared behind Dio~

We saw Dio about to attack Jotaro with a sign post. Me and Polnareff made a plan where he would distract Dio and I would help out Jotaro if he was injured and by the looks of it, he is. Polnareff jumped up behind him and pulled out Silver Chariot and then stabbed him in the head

"Die, Dio!" Polnareff says. Suddenly Polnareff went flying and hit a building

"Too bad, Polnareff. With just a moment more, and with just a tiny bit more force, you could have torn my brain apart with your rapier. Now where is that girl you keep with you. She is quite pesky. Kakyoin was supposed to be dead" Dio says snarling.

I can't come out now

"This is impossible" Polnareff says before falling unconscious

"You cannot assassinate Dio. Joestar's Egyptian tour group will be no more, once I finish you" Dio says

I've got to move, my shield is the strongest thing ever so there's no way it'll break

I snapped my finger and I was beside Polnareff. I quickly put a shield up and then began healing him

"There you are, you know you're really starting to get on my nerves" He says kicking the shield. Suddenly he moved back

"Jotaro, you. You're alive or you're coming around" Dio says

"Don't move! We're the police! We have guns pointed at you. Put your hands up slowly" Someone said. I couldn't focus on anything other than Polnareff as I was trying to heal and keep the shield up

"All right. Perfect timing. There's someone I'd like you to shoot with that gun. Shoot that man lying on the ground over there. You can shoot his leg, his torso. Whatever you like. Come on. Be sure not to miss" Dio says. Suddenly we hear a gunshot

"Perhaps I was just imagining that sound I thought I heard coming from Jotaro. The sound of his breathing. I don't hear it. He's not breathing. Then what about his heartbeat? His heart isn't beating. He is definitely dead. I thought he was still alive, but it was just my imagination" Dio said. Although at the moment I didn't process what those words meant, tears fell down my face.

I just watched someone die earlier didn't I? That was his dead body wasn't it?

"Just in case, I'll lop off his head so that I can truly rest at ease. All right, Jotaro? What?! Stop time! The World!" Dio says

"I went through hell there, but even if you stop time, I'm still going to blow your head off, Dio" I hear Jotaro say

He isn't dead?

"Wh-What? It can't be" Dio says

"Finally. Finally, I was able to bash his head in. But that scum Dio is a monster who survived a hundred years at the bottom of the ocean. I can't believe he's dead yet. It's too soon to relax" Jotaro says.

"I'll kill you. Wh-What is this? Impossible! M-My legs. I can't move my legs. I can't stand! I have a headache a-and nausea. How could this happen? Me, Dio, feeling sick? My head's destroyed, so I can't get up?! I have to do something!" Dio says

"I covered you with gasoline so I can track your smell. I feel bad, kicking a guy when he's down, but, nah. I don't feel bad about this at all. My friends and a lot of innocent bystanders are dead because of you" Jotaro says

"The World!" Dio says

"He put his ear to the ground to listen for cars coming near, but, I can't let him get away!" Jotaro says. I finish healing up Polnareff and I put the shield down. Even though I had taken from Kakyoin my energy was completely drained and I was at my limit.

Doing a shield and healing, always takes more energy. I should help Jotaro but I'll only be in his way while he's fighting Dio. If I stay at a distance then I can see what's going on. I begin walking in the direction I saw Jotaro go in. Eventually I found the two. I stayed back so I couldn't engage but could watch. I watched Jotaro fall from the sky

"And now, without pause, my final attack! The last and final time I will stop time! Within my nine seconds or stopped time, I shall end this! The World!" Dio says. Suddenly there was a road roller in the streets and Jotaro was ontop of it. Dio went flying off. Dio then landed on the ground. Jotaro stepped off of the road roller. The World went to kick Jotaro but Star blocked it and punched its shin, making it cracks. Dio began bleeding all over.

He must be dead at this point

I rushed over to Jotaro

I need to heal him

"Jotaro!" I yell out. He turns to me

"Y/n, where's Polnareff?" He asks

"Asleep, back where we all were. He's fine, but you're not" I say as I finally get close to him. I pull my stand out and begin healing him. Tears fell down my face as I laughed

"You know, I actually thought you died earlier. Funny, right. I mean nothing can kill you" I say laughing and crying. I continued healing him knowing I was at my limit. I looked at Jotaro

Boldness, here we come

I grabbed the sides of his face and pulled him in for a kiss. His eyes went wide as his face tinted pink. I felt him shyly kiss back but that's when I fell asleep

Jotaro's POV

She just kissed me, and I kissed back

I watched her fall asleep. She was about to fall backwards but I picked her up bridal style

Always causing trouble

Soon enough the Speedwagon Foundation arrived. They took the old man and put him in a car. I got on with Y/n in my arms. Whatever was left of Dio was also put into the cae

Old man..

"This is the Speedwagon Foundation Car Two. We are currently traveling north on Al-Nil Street. We have retrieved Dio's body. I repeat. We have retrieved Dio's body"

"Dio's body will stay alive until it is exposed to sunlight. Proceed with caution! Make sure you don't let down your guard"

"Roger"

"Noriaki Kakyoin is at the Kujo residence. He's perfectly fine. Jean Pierre Polnareff is unconscious but is suffering from zero injuries. He is currently being transported in Car One"

"Roger"

"By the way, I've got a question for you, Car Two. Why did you put Dio and Joseph Joestar's bodies in the same car?"

"Because it's not over yet. Dio borrowed something" I say

"Huh?"

"And I need to get it back" I say

"I have no idea what you're talking about"

"Is it possible to transfuse blood from one corpse to another?" I ask. Both of the doctor's eyes widened

"A-Are you suggesting we put Dio's blood into Mister Joestar's withered corpse?"

"Are you trying to bring Mister Joestar back to life?"

"Dio sucked out his blood just minutes ago. Dio's upper body has been annihilated, but I want him to return what he's still got. Don't you think we can still make it in time?" I ask

"So he says. Did you hear that? Over"

"R-Roger"

"I-It's impossible! He doesn't have a pulse"

"That means his heart has stopped, so it's impossible to make blood circulate through his body!"

"Impossible? We did a lot of impossible things on this journey. I'm tired of hearing that things are 'impossible' or 'useless' those words mean nothing to us. You said we have to get his heart moving, right? Good timing. Thanks to Dio, I've had practice with stopping and starting hearts" I say pulling out Star Platinum. I have Star Platinum start pumping the old man's heart

"I hear a pulse!"

"His heart's moving!"

"Hurry! Extract the blood from Dio's body and perform the transfusion!"

"This just might work!" They began transferring the blood as Star Platinum continued pumping the heart. The old man started looking normal once more

"L-Look! His shriveled skin is already regaining color! His flesh is softening and stretching!"

"Brainwaves! We're detecting brainwaves!"

"I can't believe it! His heartbeat i regular!" I watched the old man's eyes open

"His eyes! He opened his eyes!"

"We did it! He's come back to life!" Suddenly a dark aura surrounded the old man

No

"Old man?" I ask. All the blood valves break and the old man rises up

"You fool, Jotaro!" He says

It's Dio!

"Y-You scum! It can't be" I say

"Thanks to you, I live again!" He says

"You!" I say as I go to punch

"W-Wait, Jotaro! I'm kidding! Kidding! I'm just kidding! It's just a joke! A joke! Sorry! I was just messing with you a little. It's definitely me! I'm Joseph Joestar. I was born September 27th, 1920. My wife's name is Suzi Q. I like to collect comic books!" He says

"Who's the female lead in the 1981 film, Tarzan, the Ape Man?" I ask

"Bo Derek" he says

"Who sang the parody of 'Beat it', named 'Eat it'?" I ask

"Al Yankovic" he says

"Good grief. I guess you are the real thing if you know pointless crap like that" I say. He sighs in relief. I then look at Dio

"Now you've returned what you took from us, Dio" I say. I then look at Y/n to see her sleeping peacefully in my arms. I softly smile at her

"Where's my camera?! Suzi and Holly are going to love this!" The old man says looking around for a camera

"Noo! I don't have one!" He says. Once it was sunrise we left Dio's body out and the rays made him disintegrate

"So many people lent something to Dio. Many people, for the last hundred years. They lent him everything" the old man says

"And too many of those things will never be returned" I say

"Yeah. The things we can't get back are too numerous, and too great. What we've lost is as vast as the planet earth itself. But it's all because of them. It's because of them that we still live" He says

"Iggy, Avdol. It's over" I say

~Time Skip~

Y/n's POV

We were all at an airport

"Are you really going back to France, Polnareff? You don't have any more family there, do you? Why don't you come to New York with me?" Joseph asks

"Mister Joestar, even though my family is gone, France us my homeland. I have many memories in my hometown. No matter where I go, I'll always return there. But if you ever need me, give me a call. Wherever in the world you are, I'll come running" Polnareff says. I started tearing up

"You're going to make me cry Polnareff" I say

"It'll be lonely without you" Joseph says

Stop! I'm really going to cry you guys

"There were many hardships, but it was a lot of fun. That journey was fun because all of you were there" Polnareff says

"Yeah. Yes it was fun. I believe that from the bottom of my heart" Joseph says

"Passengers on France International Airlines Flight 92 bound for Paris, please head to Gate 18" Polnareff hugged as all

"Well, see ya, you geezer! I hope you live forever! And you his stingy grandson! Don't you dare forget me! And you! You annoying brat! I'll get you back whenever I see you again for all those time you did me dirty!" Polnareff says. I smiled

"Let us meet again! If you don't hate me by then you little jerk!" Joseph says

"I couldn't forget a guy like you if I tried. Take care" Jotaro says. I was sobbing at this point

Sure me and Polnareff fought but he was kind of like that cool older brother

"You wish, but I'll always one up you!" I say

"So long" He says grabbing his stuff

"Yeah" Joseph says

"So long" Jotaro says

"Oh, and Y/n. Make sure to give me a call when you decide to have a little one with Jotaro" Polnareff says with a cheeky smile. I wiped my tears in one instant

"You're not making it to France because I'm going to kill you!" I say as I began sprinting towards him. Joseph held me back and then dragged me towards our gate. We got on the plane and I sat in between Jotaro and Joseph. Jotaro was looking at the picture we all took and a smile appears on his face
