~~~~ YOUNG JOSEPH ~~~~
He couldn't believe the young man was simply screaming "Ora Ora Ora" but Caesar seemed to be struck by an invisible force.
He no longer cared, he ran to get close to Caesar - Joseph knew that he needed to give Caesar enough time for him to use Hamon to recover.
But as soon as he began to run screaming toward the hat boy, the other odd guy with silver hair also ran toward him, again pointing the finger at him.
Joseph was surprised the first time, but he now knew what it meant, he knew the range of the attack, and knowing that he attracted the silver haired man until near the hat boy.
Joseph then saw the guy do the same pose he did when he attacked, but now he was prepared - Joseph gave a strategic stumble.
~~~~ AVDOL ~~~~
Avdol thought it was pathetic.
How someone so strong could be so clumsy?
However Jotaro and Polnareff were caught off guard, fortunately Star Platinum speed was enough to take Jotaro away from the blow, but not without losing a piece of his shirt.
Not so far away , still reluctant to approach was getting concerned, he was familiar with those attitudes, his younger self was trying to buy time.
~~~~ YOUNG JOSEPH VS JOTARO & POLNAREFF ~~~~
Joseph saw that what he wanted to happen had worked and the strange guy with silver hair end up attacking the other, he took advantage of the situation and got close to Caesar where he noticed that Caesar's breathing was steady - now he was sure it was only a matter of time.
He could already go to part two of his plan: Run away drawing the attention of strange guys
Joseph then turned and showed the middle finger to the silver haired guy, since it was clear to him that he was the most easily irritated of the two.
Slightly off what he expected they both run after him. Joseph then ran in the opposite direction - being purposely clumsy and seemingly running away.
He could barely hide the smile on his face when both of them followed him.
No matter who, everyone fall to the Joestar Family's secret technique - run.
He ran, ran, bumped into one or two soldiers, almost fell.
While it all happened was panicking, he knew what was going to happen.
"WAIT! DON'T GO NEAR HIM! IT'S A TRAP! "
Avdol joined the chase, no matter how strong the man was, he would have no chance against the three together.
He was practically together with the others when shouted warning them. Before they could do something about it, the young man turned holding a machine gun and fired.
Polnareff managed to fend off bullets, Jotaro with Star Platinum not only defended but also picked up some bullets and save them for a counter attack.
But Avdol wasn't so lucky, his power wasn't very good against projectiles, he was lucky because he was a little behind Jotaro and Polnareff, but still got hit in the leg and two shots grazed his right arm.
Jotaro that had saved some bullets used Star Platinum to shoot them back at the man, who was smiling like an idiot and scratching his head.
What Jotaro didn't know, was that even if Joseph wasn't able to see Star Platinum he could see the bullets on the air, and he wasn't scratching your head just for scratching, he was getting his shield ready.
Star Platinum fired the bullets on its fingers, but Joseph used the strands of his own hair with Hamon to form a shield and block the bullets.
Avdol that was on his knee couldn't believe on what he was seeing, the man had stopped the bullets fired by Star Platinum,how was that possible?
Jotaro who always managed to hold his emotions couldn't contain the solitary drop of sweat that trickled down on his forehead - what was that guy?
Joseph in turn laughed and looked at them.
"This is how you do it? Wait, I will do the same ... ".
Joseph imitated Polnareff, pointing his finger to Jotaro, Polnareff and Avdol soon afterwards he said:
"Ola, ola, ola, ola!"
Everyone looked at Joseph as if he was an idiot and he might be one sometimes, but he was also a very versatile man.
Jotaro, however wasn't finding anything funny, that man and his jokes towards serious moments reminded him of his grandfather.
He felt like he was being mocked.
He took a step forward when something coming from the sky darkened even more where they were, he could hear the people's screams while they ran away - including the man, who reminded him of his grandfather, who ran away from there screaming like an idiot among soldiers and civilians.
Jotaro looked up and saw a truck falling on them, he lowered his hat covering his eyes and calling Platinum Star, he would end that bullshit.
~~~~ KAKYOIN ~~~~
Kakyoin didn't know how much time had passed, when he woke up he was alone and his abdomen hurt like never before, he came to think that Caesar would kill him with just one punch – is that even possible?
How could someone be so strong?
He got up with difficulty, holding his abdomen and slowly followed the noise coming far away.
He arrived in time to see Jotaro and others following the guy that he was pretty sure that was from the past. The gestures were very similar to not be, especially considering that the said Caesar was someone from his past.
Kakyoin thought about follow them, but he feared being a burden to the others, especially now that he was injured.
But in the corner of his eye he saw Caesar getting up, stretching his whole body and walking to a truck, he didn't understand the Italian's intention, but then he noticed something he knew he had to tell others.
Caesar as well as the other guy always seemed to take a deep breath before do any superhuman action, it must have some connection.
And seeing Caesar pull and then throw the truck far away, he had his confirmation.
But to his astonishment the truck was falling where Jotaro and the others were.
~~~~ SR. JOESTAR (OLD JOSEPH) ~~~~
Joseph could no longer stay still, he had to do something, his younger self alone was too much of a trouble, if he let his younger self fight together with Caesar, they would be screwed.
And to complicate the things, those kids didn't heard what he said about the breathing.
Why does the world forced him to do this?
He didn't want to fight with Caesar.
He didn't want to hurt Caesar.
But he knew this was the best way to stop him or rather to stop the young Joseph.
Giving up the idea of face himself, he turned toward where Caesar was and to his surprise he saw a truck flying to somewhere.
He didn't look to where the truck fell, he simply kept going even faster, especially when he saw that Kakyoin was up, bruised and clearly intending to do something.
That boy and his curiosity...
That was bad for his old heart; especially because he knew that whatever happens to that boy also affect Jotaro.
He and Kakyoin viewed Caesar join hands as he moved as if dancing; his movements were light and beautiful.
Joseph only remembers the past and how Caesar was always so quiet and elegant in the use of Hamon.
But Kakyoin was mesmerized, it looked like the power of a Stand, but how could someone do this without Stand?
Caesar opened his arms, separating his hands and creating several soap bubbles, and then launched them toward Jotaro and Polnareff.
Their speed was huge, one of the bubbles that had not the format of a bubble anymore, hit the ground and instead of exploding, cut it like a paper.
While Kakyoin tried to follow the attack and saw advancing toward Caesar.
~~~~ JOTARO AND TRUCK ~~~~
Jotaro continued to punch the truck, it was unnecessary, but Star Platinum liked to punch things.
But while he was destroying the truck he saw something strange cutting the floor and coming toward them, it was all planned,he couldn't continue to punch the truck while punching whatever was coming after them, Polnareff alone could not protect everyone and Avdol has been shot.
But to their surprise, a huge flame passed in front of them evaporating the soap bubbles.
Avdol even on the floor gave him thumbs up, and Jotaro only smiled before giving a final blow and destroying the truck completely.
~~~~ CAESAR AND ~~~~
Caesar didn't understand what happened, his bubbles just evaporated.
But before he could think about his next move, stopped in front of him.
"Mr. Joestar, what do you want?"
Caesar sounded as smooth as possible, but Joseph knew him better than the younger Joseph.
"Stop it, and help me stop myself."
"You guys attacked JoJo. What you thought would happen? What did you thought I'd do if you put him in danger! "
Joseph didn't move and it clearly angered Caesar.
"Get out of my way or I'll get you out by force!"
Joseph knew that Caesar was hurt; hamon or not an attack from Star Platinum hurts a lot. Without the hamon Caesar certainly would be unconscious.
Caesar stepped forward but Joseph stood still on front of him.
Caesar reacted the way he thought Caesar would react, dealing a kick and then a sequence of punches.
Joseph felt the nostalgia ran through his body, they fought together, trained together, struggle together, and that small confrontation was a journey through time to him. But he knows Caesar, he knew how he fought and because of that Joseph knew that Caesar was holding his strength.
Joseph felt bad, Caesar always been very emotional, he was someone who had barely had affinity with other people, but if he liked someone, that feeling easily turned into something else.
A devotion and worship that Joseph knew that would result on Caesar's demise.
And there was Caesar, right in front of him, ready to fight for him, or rather the younger him.
And they had not even reached the end of that day, where they would give their first kiss.
His memories made him distracted, and Caesar almost punched him - the punch hit the wall going through it.
Caesar pulled his hand back, jumped back and snatched a signpost.
He was going to use it as a sword, but his arms were caught by Hierophant Green's tentacles.
Joseph walked toward Caesar full of regret.
"I'm sorry, Caesarino."
"DON'T CALL ME LIKE THAT! YOU DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT! ONLY HE CAN ..."
And Joseph used his Hermit Purple to hold Caesar's neck.
Unable to breathe properly Caesar lost his strength. Without the strength to hold the signpost, Caesar dropped it on the ground and with his hands he tried to free himself from what was on his neck.
His eyes watered and he looked at Joseph, that turned his face away, not having the courage to look in Caesar's eyes as he fall on his knees.
~~~~ YOUNG JOSEPH ~~~~
Joseph saw Caesar on the ground, the old man seemed to know how the hamon works, Caesar was clearly in danger, and without hamon he wouldn't be able to face those guys.
Ignoring everything, he ran past Joseph and Polnareff, he didn't even heard Avdol speaking for them to stop him.
It doesn't matter anymore.
He could see Caesar on the floor, his eyes wide and full of tears looking at him, he only heard Caesar say "Jo ..." and everything went black.
I enjoyed myself and writing this chapter, it can be noted for its size!
I tried to add some chapter divider to make it easier to understand who was viewing/narrating the events.
Tell me if it worked or if it was good.
Now talking about the fight as much as I like Joseph and Caesar, against all the Crusaders there is no way they could win.
note: The machine gun appeared here just like in part 2, where Joseph was talking and then 'Booom', machine gun magically appears from out of nowhere.
I think that is all!
Thanks for all the reviews!
