Chapter 7 - Hello Darkness, I got a ghost
Tokyo, Japan, 6 April 1986
For a moment, I think I was back there in Heaven when I opened my eyes and found myself directly looking into the familiar pair of tits under an angelic face. Her blue eyes framed by her long golden locks is indeed very familiar, even if she didn't tie her hair up in the usual high ponytail.
Now to think about it, as I should have some sort of growth boost here, and thus should actually being bigger than Darkness, but as I do looks at her with what I judges as my previous 'normal' point of view, this must be it, somehow Jiji and great-grandmother kills me with their Hamon, and Darkness is the one who receives me back in the afterlife.
Well, since I could excuse myself by 'I'm so sorry, just recently slain by two old, evil kung-fu masters', I rolled and buried my face underneath the pair and inhale her body scent deeply. Oh well, my face meets with her rock hard abs separated only by her white and yellow shirt, but that's to be expected as I hug her waist with my hands and felt her firm butt and back.
"Ah... ~not that~," that's what I've waited for, waiting for years to tease her, so this would be a good start as I buried my face in her lap.
Oh yeah, baby, this smoking hot body I touched with my hands could only belong to Darkness. And as expected, she did not really resist, like just weakly trying to pry my hands, with only her ragged breaths and muffled moans...
"Jojo? You awake?" well, that's my mother's voice, but... MY MOM?
I immediately shoot myself up straight and bumped my head upon what I could immediately recognize as the ceiling of a car, leaving a sizeable dent. Oh well fuck, it seems that whatever delusion I got, I end up essentially groped my own mother here, thinking of her as Darkness.
Sure, both Megumin and Aqua said that her coloration reminds them of Darkness, but for myself to actually falls on that, and 'taking my liberty' on her, oh shit! OH SHIT!
"SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! I'm sorry mom! I think Jiji and great-grandmother just killed me!" I said as I repeatedly bow to her as deeply as possible, oh well, everything might end up awkward right now.
"Jojo! That's not how you greet your aunt Lala; and no, your grandfather and great-grandmother never tried to kill you in the first place," said my mother from the other side, and my mother turned out to actually sit at the front seat of the car, looking both confused and embarrassed with my antics, at the side of equally confused driver, who is a black man wearing white headband, red-brown overcoat, blue scarf, and golden necklaces with Egyptian symbols carved on it. I looked at the awkward face of my mother, before quickly looking back toward my so-called-aunt that I practically never met before, that I first mistook as Darkness, before mistaking her again as my own mother.
"SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! SUMIMASEN! I'm sorry aunt..." I closed my eyes while bowing to my latest 'victim' with an apologetic face, fully expect a long tirade of how I was such a salacious young man coupled with a series of slaps and physical assault that I deserve over...
No such things ever come even as I expect it, so I slowly opened my eyes...
All I see is just a blushing face of a woman who actually smiled equally lecherously as she held her hands up to her cheeks, blushing like mad as if she enjoys my recent acts GREATLY at that.
There's no mistaking it when our faces looking at each other, and I recognized that degenerate look upon her face.
"Kazuma?" said Darkness as she notices my now very obvious 'Kazuma' face and hairstyle, despite having a body that seems more fit to be put on a bodybuilder.
"Darkness?"
"Ka... Kazuma!" said Darkness as she hold my shoulders with her hands, and now, there's no mistaking it, even with my growth boost in this new realm, Darkness is still taller than me, and her wide-necked white-and-yellow shirt just can't hide the facts that she is actually rather bit more ripped than her previous self.
"No Lala, his name is Jozuma, Jo-zu-ma not Kazuma," said my mother, trying to correct my name.
"Wait a minute, she is..." I said while Darkness' face grew even deeper red.
"She is my sister, Lalatina Joestar."
"Bwa ha ha ha ha, of all things your name is Lalatina!" I laughed.
"SHUT UP! I don't know why the Hell Papa named me like that!" said Darkness, her face now all red with fury while my mother only looked at us in confusion.
"But you're my aunt?" I just realized that... well, that was still awkward but that was far less guilt than what I presume before.
"You're such a ~big~, ~naughty~ boy..." said Darkness, staring at me intently before moving on and rubbing my cheek with her own. "I ~missed~ looking at ~your~ face as you ~abuse~ me..."
"Yeah, sure whatever..." I just can't help but notice the five-pointed star-shaped birthmark on the back of her left shoulder.
"Lady Holly, you are lady Lalatina's elder sister and he is your son right?" said the black driver, pointing at us with an awkward expression on his face. "She is actually adopted, right? Because if yes that would be slightly less disturbing."
"Avdol, Lalatina is my full sister; my mother really have her at the age of forty-five, and we are really more than twenty-five years apart," said my mother as she chuckled awkwardly. "Our family is rather close, but I've never seen or even told Lala being this affectionate, maybe I should ask Papa more about her."
"My head... What was that?" said someone from the right back seat as she raised her head from what should be sleeping position, and as we see Megumin rubbed her eyes, Darkness quickly assume a normal seating position instead of invading my face.
"Me... Megumin?" said Darkness with a mix of both relief and confusion. "Why we end up here?"
"Aren't you should already see her?"
"Granny is the one who put your gi... Megumin at the back, Papa said that I should stand by here with Avdol in case something happened."
"Hello Darkness, my old friend," said Megumin while she scratches her head. "Now where is Aqua...?"
"Aqua?" said Darkness in confusion, but at least the old party has been completed, only...
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
"AQUA! WE MUST SAVE AQUA FROM THOSE OLD BASTARDS!" I screamed as I opened the car door and jumped out of the car, thankfully, the car was only a block away from my house.
"EH? AQUA?" said Darkness who follows me in confusion while Megumin quickly jumps out of the seat and join us running.
"THOSE DAMNED OLD BASTARDS WANT TO KILL AQUA!"
"EEEH?" said Darkness. "THE PILLAR WOMAN?"
"SHE IS AQUA DAMMIT!"
"But Papa and Granny said..."
"Your Papa, Jiji, is the very man who murdered four out of five innocent last survivors of the Pillar Men!" I shouted as we ran, seeing that the black driver already jumped out from the car and chase us with.
Did I just see a ghostly flaming bird with muscular arms emerges from that driver?
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
"Halt, Mr. Joestar said that you two should never go to that house before Mr. Joestar and Lady Elizabeth coming back."
"NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN! WHY EVERYONE EXCEPT ME HAVE MAGIC NOW?!" I eyed as the black man managed to get close and the flaming muscular bird-man grabbed Megumin and lifted her up.
"WHY TELEKINESIS AGAIN? WHY?" screamed Megumin as she futilely struggles to wrestle herself out from the muscular bird-man to no avail, and from how she described being lifted by that muscular bird-man as telekinesis, it seems that unlike me, she cannot see the ghost, so...
"The Pillar Woman seems to alter both of your minds, Jojo. I am under order to never let you two wander inside before they break the mind control spell!" said the black man while moving closer to me.
"Darkness! Save Aqua! I'll deal with this black man and his bird-man ghost!" I spewed command to Darkness and she keeps running into the already opened gate of my house, as I could already hear loud crashes coming from within.
"You could see my stand, Magician's Red?" said the black man while I turned around to face him. As I sized him up, unlike that pinkie boy I fight with at school, this man is actually as large as, if not slightly larger than me.
"Hell yes I can! What do you expect, Dakko-Chan?"
I understand that fighting ghost-using guy like this meant I should go for the user instead of being focused on the ghost as I can't harm it, but yet, fighting this man physically would be hard as I never actually trained for a fight in this world save for visiting gym and lifting weights once a week since I have nothing better to do and reading manga could only fill that far compared to playing games.
And this black guy is at least as muscular as myself, and from how he quickly took a stance, I instinctively understood that he is an experienced fighter indeed.
Seeing Megumin being held by the muscular bird-man, and the possibility of Aqua end up being murdered by Jiji and great-grandmother if Darkness turned out to end up following Jiji's orders instead...
I have no other choice but to fight this black man with everything I got, damn me if I go down without a fight.
"So this is it, you are still under the control of the Pillar Woman, Jojo, I am sorry to be forced to do this," said the black man while I charged at him, but he easily sidestep my clumsy punch and managed to grab me from behind, using my own momentum to throw myself on the ground.
"AAAH!" I screamed as the black guy easily pin me down on the ground as he locked my right arm behind my back as my left arm cannot do anything. I tried to flail with my feet but this black guy is actually managed to pin me as he sat upon me.
"Look, I am so sorry, but this is for the best. Your grandfather will explain everything to both of you later," said the black man while both I and Megumin now are literally placed in a helpless position.
"SCREW YOU GHOST USING DAKKO-CHAN! I CAN'T LET YOU MURDER AQUA!"
"The Pillar Woman wants to threaten the world using you two as her pawns! Snap yourself out of it! Mr. Joestar believes in you! Snap yourself!"
"SHE IS JUST A YOUKAI YOU IDIOT! SHE WILL NOT THREATEN ANYONE! I AM IN CONTROL!" I flailed as I tried to push myself out of the
"She is the creator of the Vampires and Zombies Jojo! Is your grandfather or Lady Elizabeth never told you anything about that?"
"YES DAMMIT, THAT'S WHY SHE'S A YOUKAI!"
Ah great, they are so racist toward Youkai that they just cannot accept the very fact that Dark Powers do exist, but not everyone who used them is a bad guy.
"Youkai... What? You meant that the Pillar Men is..." said the Dakko-Chan as if he partially understood what I meant, and I tried to snap my arm out of his lock.
But to no avail, as this black guy keep his grip tight upon my arm, all while Megumin already exhausted herself trying to wiggle out of that annoying muscular ghost of a bird-man.
If only I could have something to deprive this guy of his ghost, and maybe at the same time, having that kind of ghost for myself...
Time is ticking, and more loud crashes and explosions heard from the inside of my house, now if only I could do something...
Aqua will die if I am not doing something, right here... right now...
If only I still have my stealing power... If only I could steal that damned ghost bird-men from him...
I felt a bit dizzy as if I actually see myself being pinned on the ground by this oversized Dakko-Chan, and now as if I could actually see the red-and-orange muscular bird-man far more clearly now.
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
Something is formed out from my body... and it heads at the black guy. My vision felt doubled but I didn't feel dizzy at all, and everything just seems like I am being two persons at once or...
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
"YOU'RE A STAND USER?!" said the annoying Dakko-Chan while the muscular bird-man suddenly released Megumin from his grip to face the ghost-like thing I just apparently created, but I instinctively ordered the ghost to attack the black man so he is forced to release the armlock.
"Gotcha you bastard!" I grinned as I used every last of my strength bear-hugging the black man from behind, and as if on instinct, that magical ghost thing that I accidentally summoned or spawned, grasped the black man's head.
The muscular bird-man spews a barrage of fire formed in the Ankh symbol of the Egyptians. It is searing hot and painful as the barrage blasting upon my ghost-thing burning it, but I keep pressing on and before long. I have done that once when that pinkie demon boy attacked me, I could do that with this Dakko-Chan too, as long as Aqua is alive, she could heal me back.
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
Before after a time, the ghost-thing that I controlled suddenly pulls out two discs out of the black man's head, and as soon as those discs were pulled out, both the muscular bird-man ghost disappeared and the fire ceased from burning the ghost-thing that I control.
The black man just falls unconscious, and everything ended, for now.
I looked at the ghost-thing, that looked at me back, and I could still instinctively controls... him?
It was a mostly white humanoid ghost, with a slender build, but still, a muscular one, half crouching with his arms dangling freely in front of his body, and his demeanor definitely reminds me of a snake. He has sparse purple-black clothes that looks like what is BDSM gear (oh great, Darkness will love it), wearing black mask of the same purple-black color covering the upper part of his face, which ended in a row of peaks like a crown, as I looked at his white skin, I could see horizontal stripes of roughly an inch wide wrapped along his body, with Latin letters of "KUZUGESUKUZUGESU" repeatedly written on every other stripe.
Wait, why this ghost has the insult words often directed at me written on its body? Is this ghost actually the personification of my worst personality or something? Trash and scum? Really?
"Wow, you're really strong Kazuma! But what was those floating things for anyway?" said Megumin as she points out towards the two discs carried by the ghost-thing I controlled. Apparently, she really can't see him, so... oh well?
My ghost-thing hand over the disc to my hand and I could see the word 'DISC' printed upon each of that discs' face (gee, whatever magic works in this world, thanks captain obvious). I could also see the muscular bird-man with words [MAGICIAN'S RED] printed on top of it, while the other disc has the face of the black man inside of it, I could swear that I glanced at his life as fortune teller in Egypt when I see that particular disc, and I realized that his name is Muhammad Avdol by only glancing on the second disc.
Well, that's disturbing, but it seems that the ghost that this black man controlled is actually called 'stands' and this Avdol's stand is named 'Magician's Red' for some reasons. So I put the disc with Avdol's memory inside my coat pocket while keeping the other with [MAGICIAN'S RED] label at my hand.
I realized that my own ghost needs a name, but this creepy ghost of mine seems to just stand there, partially crouching with his arms in front like a coiled snake...
"Alright, I'll just call you 'Whitesnake', okay?" I talked to my ghost as we resume running into my house.
And this [MAGICIAN'S RED] disc? Well, I looked at Megumin, who looking confused at how I must look like talking to thin air, according to her point of view, and I just know that maybe this is just fate as she was a magician in her past life, so...
"Here, catch!" I throw her the disc that has the label that is close with her old job to her, but Megumin only looked in confusion.
"Magician's Red?"
"That black guy's stand, he's apparently a magician here, so maybe you could use it!" I said as I entered the gate of my house.
"How to use this?"
"I don't even know! What I know is you are a Magician and you wear Red!"
"I am an Arch-Wizard, not some lowly Magician dammit! What should I do?"
"I said I don't even know dammit! Whitesnake just instinctively pulls it out of his head! Maybe you should try to channel some explosion spell or something through it?"
I could hear Aqua's scream from the partially destroyed part of my house, and I see a surge of water jet cutting through the wall like it was just butter.
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
"Jiji and great-grandmother would be in for a surprise!" I said as I summoned Whitesnake to run ahead of us.
Well, things are going better than expected right now. I just hope to give Jiji and great-grandmother a good beating before them...
I see Jiji jumping out of the house and landed on top of the pond, but instead of being plunged, he somehow managed to keep himself walking on top of the water? Dammit, this Hamon magic...
Unfortunately, at the same time, Megumin slipped and falls on the ground, the disc at her hand flying directly toward Jiji's head.
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
"JOZUMA! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO LALATINA! URK!"
I looked at disbelief on how the disc end up lodged itself inside Jiji's head, and it goes all the way as the disc with [MAGICIAN'S RED] completely disappeared while Jiji suddenly loses his balance and falls into the pond.
Wait, we didn't just unexpectedly kill my grandfather, yes? How could I explain this to my mother?
Fuck! It doesn't suppose to end like this!
