Hey everyone! I have another chapter of Fighting Spirit up for you. As you know the amount characters between DMC and JJBA are huge! You'll be seeing a lot of Jojo characters in this but I won't be neglecting the Devil May Cry characters either. Our Jojo animal characters will be put into action after the next chapter for I had planned a set up for them. Now, during certain chapters you'll be seeing the personal thoughts of the Devil May Cry to our Jojo characters. And this chapter came differently than I originally planned when I found out a nice detail on Crazy Diamond that I chose to personally exploit for the set up I got for the next chapter. Enjoy the cocktail of madness I've prepared. Edit: Characters you'll be mostly seeing are from parts 1-5 and only main characters from 6-8.
Chapter 1: Devil May Cry
Nico was brimming with anticipation as she drove her van down the roads. Johari was riding on Slow Dancer's back as the majestic creatures strong legs easily kept pace with the speeding van and the occupants safely seatbelted. After watching Joharai pummel those gangsters with Crazy Diamond or Crazy D for short, Nico definitely wanted her to join Devil May Cry. The woman had practically saved her ass and did it stylish. Plus learning about Crazy Diamond was very enticing too.
Joharai explained that Stand Users were those who can summon their actual fighting spirit called Stands and use them for a variety of tasks. Crazy D was actually a product of Joharai's true Stand called Fort Minor and its ability Remember the Name. It actually belonged to her father Josuke Higashikata who died in action during an incident at his job. The man was a police officer and was called 'The Medic' by his fellow officers since Josuke always tended to their wounds. Fort Minor had somehow managed to save the stand as if it was the last wish from her father and attached it to Joharai's soul. The pompadour was a sign of respect to her father and she started researching medicine and first aid.
'The Medic' was legendary amongst the police force across Japan and she wanted to keep his legacy alive. 'Heroes are remembered but Legends never die.' Were her choice words on the reason.
Her twin, Josuke Jr. or Gappy as she called her brother had taken their family name 'Higashikata' once more. Him and their father were on bitter terms before his death. A family quarrel to say the least. Their father's passing was part of the reason she needed to get away. Nico definitely respected Joharai for her decision. "You and Gappy get along really well? I bet Dante and Vergil could learn a thing or two from ya. They're always fighting one way or another. Can get real aggravating at times." Nico said as Joharai merely gave her a thumbs up. It wasn't smart to talk while riding a horse. Biting your tongue at high speed can really hurt.
Nico had finally parked her van in front of a building with a red neon sign on it. The sign read Devil May Cry and had the outline of a woman wielding a gun next to it. Joharai had her horse slow to a walk before having the beautiful stallion do a full stop. The brunette came out holding the cat carrier where the cat resided but the cover was opened enough for a glimpse. Apparently Tama was actually a hot pink cat like flower than an actual cat! Yellow cat like eyes, hot pink petals with small yellow stamen spikes, a mouth with cat like fangs and large leaves that serve as Tama's legs.
Joharai explained that the feline's Stand Stray Cat had resurrected Tama from the grave as a cat/flower/Stand hybrid. It intrigued the woman as Joharai easily remembered all the affection Nico gave to Tama. Every other animal came walking though some did stumble probably shooked from Nico's fast driving. Coco Jumbo was riding on Diego's back, the key like thing on the turtle's back glistening in the light. "This is Devil May Cry? Doesn't look too shabby from the outside." Joharai said getting off Slow Dancer. Nico had shown her a nice place next to Devil May Cry for her to stay at or house her animal friends. It was an old apartment building had Nico won from the owner through a night of drinking and a stupid bet. "Yep. It's got class. The inside is a bit of dump. Vergil managed to put a dent in the mess." Nico explained as Joharai hummed.
Both girls and their animal companions headed into Joharai's new apartment to unpack and find where they were going to sleep. Joharai's Stand Fort Minor had another ability called Tools of the Trade. She could store objects within a pocket space. Ones she stored can be summoned and even manipulated by Fort Minor's will. The pocket space can be summoned anywhere in a meter radius. First to emerge was all kinds of cleaning supplies that walked into the apartment through a makeshift rift in Joharai's handbag. Nico was having an inner freakout just watching impossible items walk out of a tiny space like the handbag cleaning and setting themselves up.
"Joharai, you are an actual godsend. I've been trying to clean this place for months and you cleaned it in minutes. Hell, you could clean the whole Devil May Cry office in seconds. That place is so dirty that it's a crime against humanity." Nico joked as Joharai laughed. "It's that bad? I think your boss is a hoarder type of guy. Honestly, Fort Minor has been a huge help in my life than just typical Stand stuff. She's like a real soul sister and a good shoulder to lean on. In fact, would you like to meet her?" The pomp princess asked as Nico nodded excitedly. "Introduce yourself Fort Minor!" Joharai called as another Stand manifested next to her.
Fort Minor looked exactly like Joharai but with a bunch of key differences. Her skin was a velvet blue with red plating that covered her body which some of them were shaped like film reels, a heart shaped pink diamond where her belly button should be, long flowing violet hair that was like an actual piece of outer space with the star like lights in it, her eyes covered by black shades, a gray castle pattern top around her chest, a black carpet skirt and silver rings on her fingers and toes.
"Ari." Fort Minor greeted with a warm smile and offered her hand. "Nice to meet you Fort Minor. You're so pretty." Nico said with a handshake earning an 'Ari' from Fort Minor in gratitude. The brunette was informed that most Stands couldn't speak normally. They had Stand Cries which is their unique language almost like Pokemon. "Who else works at Devil May Cry other than you? I like to know who would be my new co-workers." Joharai asked as Fort Minor nodded. "There is the boss Dante, he's a pretty cool guy and one hell of a stud. There's his older twin brother Vergil whose a huge grump but also handsome and has this dangerous regal air to him. Nero, who is Vergil's son, a big goof but the best brother figure you can have. And there's Lady and Trish who are the most badass pair of women you'll ever meet." Nico answered.
"That's quite a group. I'm so glad Polnareff, Mista or Narancia aren't here or they'll be teasing the hell out of me for all the men in my new workplace. Or Polnareff would be flirting with you, Trish and Lady. He's a good godfather but he's a giant flirt." Joharai chuckled. "Girl, you have to tell me about your friends." Nico giggled. For the remainder of the day, Joharai talked about her bizarre family and friends. Her great great great grandfather turned vampire Johnathan, her grandfather also turned vampire Joseph, her dhampir great uncle or grunkle Giorno, grandnephew Jotaro along with his daughter Jolyne, her American cousin Johnny and her twin Gappy being the most talked about from Nico's interest.
The family photo almost made Nico faint from how red she got. 'Holy fuck! Your family is full of fuckin hot buff studs!' Being the most appropriate quote Nico had unlike many of Joharai's acquiantances. They finally went to bed after 11 at night with Joharai surrounded by her entourage of animals. Next morning… she had woken up to see Nico missing from the top bunk of her bunk bed. Nico did live in the apartment sometimes. Not being bothered or noticing the note left behind, the pomp princess decided to get ready for the day. She was in the shower humming to herself unaware doorknob turning.
Joharai was too busy cleaning herself to pay attention to the shadow forming outside the shower curtain. She turned to see the shadow. "Hey Nico, is…" Was all Joharai could say after opening the curtain. It wasn't Nico in the bathroom with her but a man. A white haired buff man in a red coat. Both were frozen staring at each other until Joharai turned red. "Eeeeeeeek!!!!" Joharai screamed as the man screamed in shock. Just like any woman who was walked on in the shower by a man, the Diamond on the Landmine acted accordingly. "FORT MINOR!! REMEMBER THE NAME: STICKY FINGERS!!" Joharai cried out in panic as another Stand emerged from her body.
This Stand was male resembling a blue and gray biker and knight mix with golden zippers on his body with a giant one on his waist. The white haired man wasn't able to say anything since he was taken off guard allowing Sticky Fingers to strike each limb of his body, waist and neck. Golden zippers appeared on each spot before ripping open as the man fell to pieces yet was still alive! "What the hell is going on?!" A male voice shouted as another haired man in a pixie cut rushed in before seeing the white haired man in pieces along with Sticky Fingers holding Joharai close to his body with the shower curtain as if covering her modesty.
"Fort Minor!! Remember the Name: Aerosmith!" Joharai screamed as an orange toy airplane Stand manifested from her body. "Holy shit!" Was the only thing the other white haired man could say before Aerosmith began shooting bullets at him. These specific bullets were just as effective as real ones. The male fled from the bathroom as the airplane chased him while it shot its payload. "What the fuck is going on?!" Nico's voice called as the brunette came running in. "Nico! Freaking strangers in the damn bathroom while I was in the shower! Sticky Fingers got him and Aerosmith is dealing with the other!" Joharai shouted in hysteria. She was flustered from everything while Sticky Fingers tried to calm her despite snarling at the disassembled man on the floor.
"That's Dante and Nero, Joharai!" Nico stated as the Morioh girl was ready to pass out. She had disassembled her possible boss and Aerosmith was shooting at his nephew. "Can someone put me back together, please?!" The man in pieces cried out. It was very awkward as Joharai sat in her living room. She had pieced Dante together and dismissed Aerosmith who shot a lot of holes into Nero's clothing. Joharai sat dressed and in her outfit completely uncomfortable while Nero, Dante and the recent arrival Vergil sat across from her.
Nico was sitting next to her, Sticky Fingers was behind Joharai still showing his distaste to Dante, Crazy Diamond sat on the other side of Joharai trying to ease her from the awkward silence plus staring and a new Stand had greeted themselves by lounging on Joharai's lap making things even more awkward than it should be. This Stand looked like a golden male marionette with purple lens like eyes, ladybug pendants on his body, a codpiece, wing like collar, a type of top Joharai recognized as a pasty despite the marionette not having nipples and stood around 5'8 with a slim lean build.
This Stand was Golden Experience who was eyeballing the three white haired men earning a stare from Vergil. Vergil looked like Dante but his hair was slicked back, had a shaven face unlike Dante's stubble and wore a blue coat. Nero was squirming in his seat from the awkward silence. Deciding to break it was Vergil. "If I heard correctly, Dante, walked in on this showering woman and got broke into pieces with zippers. Nero followed suit to be shot by a mini airplane. Said airplane and the spirit who 'unzipped' my brother along with this pink warrior and gold puppet belong to the same woman who wanted the secretary job." Vergil stated voice cold and sounded a bit embarrassed.
"It was an accident! I walked in to take a piss not peek on a naked woman I don't even know!" Dante exclaimed though he received an angry Ari from Sticky Fingers as if calling him bullshit. "Sticky Fingers please stop. Do you want me to get your boyfriend Moody Blues on your ass?" Joharai groaned as Sticky Fingers scoffed dropping his attitude. "What are these guys anyone?" Was the million dollar question from Nero. "They're Stands, a manifestation of a person's fighting spirit. These guys are part of my Stand Fort Minor's ability. It's called Remember the Name which summons any Stand that I know of from name." The pomp princess explained as Golden Experience nuzzled his head into her chest earning a jealous look from Dante.
"And they have minds of their own along with those strange powers?" Vergil questioned. "Yes. Personalities depends on the user and what resides in their soul. Sticky Fingers can create zippers on any surface he touches. They can do damage or tear the target to pieces. They can be kept alive if Sticky Fingers wants it. Aerosmith is as powerful and effective as a real warplane despite his size. Crazy Diamond can revert things back to their previous state. Golden Experience can create life from nonliving objects." Joharai explained handing a marble to Golden Experience.
An aura enveloped the marble as they watch it morph into a living breathing white mouse. Their eyes were blown wide from the sight of the mouse now in Golden Experience's hand. "Whoa! That's insane!" Nico squealed taking the little white mouse and petting it. "And you came for the secretary job? Why not just become a Demon Hunter?" Nero questioned. "I want to take a break from all the action. My father died months ago and I couldn't stand living in my hometown of Morioh. Not many people like me there and all the memories of my father hurts when seeing the pained look on grandma's face. She not only lost her father who died because of his job but now her son who took the same career as a policeman." She explained as Crazy Diamond look saddened.
"Crazy Diamond belonged to her father before he was passed down to her. She always wears that pompadour as a memento since it was her dad's favorite hairstyle." Nico explained as the mood grew dark. The twins could easily understand her loss and reasons since something similar happened to them. Nero felt the same when his mother died and he didn't know about his father's fate until the Qliphoth incident. "I'm sorry for your loss and the whole bathroom incident. You can work at Devil May Cry as our secretary. Think of it as an apology and way to get back on your feet." Dante offered making the pomp princess smile.
"Thank you. And sorry about having Sticky Fingers rip you to pieces and Aerosmith shooting at your nephew. That was a bit much. I'm so glad great great great grandpa Johnathan ain't here or he'll be scolding me to the next century." Joharai spoke face a bit red in embarrassment. All three of her Stands were snickering at her. "You guys shouldn't be laughing. Ain't I right… Mother Fingers, Crazy Daddy and Golden Grunkle." She spoke with a shit eating grin as it was now the three Stands turns to look embarrassed.
Dante snorted hearing the bizarre nicknames figuring. There had to be an embarrassing backstory to it. Vergil had an eyebrow raised in a miniscule glint of amusement while Nero looked like he was about to choke from the awful nicknames. It didn't help when the three Stands jumped Joharai and tickled her senseless while they play fight. Yep. Dante was down on the floor as Nero shook in his seat. Vergil pinched his nose at the scene. Nico laughing as well. "Uncle! Uncle!" Joharai cried as the three male Stands grinned in victory.
"Now go back to your boyfriend Sticky Fingers. Don't want Moody Blues showing up wondering where you are." Joharai said as Sticky Fingers nodded before dispersing into stardust. "Golden Experience, is Grunkle Giorno touch starved again or do you just want attention? You don't nuzzle me in front of guests considering how jealous Purple Haze got since his user barely gives him any attention and the fight that required Star Platinum, Silver Chariot, Magician's Red and Spice Girl to separate you guys." Joharai questioned as Golden Experience held up two fingers.
(Sparda males thoughts on Joharai Giovanna Joestar)
Dante: Smoking hot babe with the nicest ass and pair of breasts I've ever seen that I didn't expect to find when taking a leak. Didn't expect her to be haunted by a ghost with a Zipper kink. Or said Zippy McStuff Crotch or 'Sticky Fingers' to tear me to pieces with said fuckin zippers. Then Nero comes in, she freaks as Zippy snarled at me before another fucking ghost comes out of the chick. Ooh! It's an airplane with fully functional bullets! Sorry Nero but your ass is toast like King Kong in that movie.
Nico fucking saved us and now I'm back in one piece. It's awkward with Vergil, Nero and I staring at the chick who wanted the secretary job at my business. And it's even super awkward with not just Zippy but a giant pink gladiator and a creepy gold puppet in a fucking codpiece lounging on the chick's lap. Joharai Giovanna Joestar? Long ass name so I'll call her Jojo. These ghosts are Stands and are a person's fighting spirit. So Zippy belongs to a guy with a zipper kink?
Oh! Apparently Zippy also got a boyfriend and he just got called out! Let me find this Moody Blues! Puppet or Golden Experience is actually nuzzling her breasts and she ain't doing shit unlike the hell they got me with. Damn, I'm super jealous!
Oof. Her dad died and apparently was a cop. Can relate to her though my dad was a demon warrior and didn't have a bubblegum giant following him around. She really loved him to do an actual pompadour which I heard take hours to do. Pomps aren't my type of hairstyle but I'll give her dad props on taste.
Lmao! Mother Fingers! To see this knight look so red is so delicious! Zippy is now gone to boyfriend Moody! Huh. GE is basically a lonely kid in a creepy gold body and Crazy Diamond the extra dad. Things are going to be fun with them around.
Vergil: A complete anomaly. To disable my twin brother and chase off Nero easily got my interest. To be haunted by spirits was something I didn't expect from a human at all.
Stands, manifestations of a person's fighting spirit? This 'Fort Minor' sounds powerful to call on these multiple spirits. Golden Experience creating life, Sticky Fingers with it's bizarre yet effective ability to use zippers and Crazy Diamond being able to fix anything broken. She's extremely powerful and if I'm right could make a powerful ally and possible mate.
Her father was an officer who died in action? To grant her his Stand reminded me of our father Sparda. The odd hairstyle is in rememberance of him. No doubt she has dedication since it looked like it takes hours to do.
Apparently these spirits are like family to her. She has an impressive maternal instinct to care for each one from my observation with her and Golden Experience. I am curious to see how she reacts to our demon heritage.
Nero: She's beautiful if I'm being honest. Though I didn't expect her to tear my uncle to pieces with zippers or the knight covering her modesty with his body. Aerosmith? Oh fuck! An toy plane came out of her and is shooting with actual bullets! Thank god Nico came!
This is so weird. She has two more spirits and one is in a codpiece and pasty! I'm about to be sick. Joharai Giovanna Joestar? Like the Joestar Real Estate Business Boss himself!? She's loaded! Huh. The ghosts are Stands and a person's fighting spirit.
I can see the gold doll or Golden Experience is practically a child since I seen that behavior with a lot of the orphans back at the orphanage. Maybe their personalities reflect their host?
Crazy Diamond belonged to her deceased father whose an officer and that pompadour is a sign of respect to him. She must really care about him to do so much. I should invite her to the orphanage when I can. She could help out or play with the kids. (Now back to the story.)
"You are such a needy koala. I'll tell Grunkle Giorno you visited me again." Joharai joked when the marionette nuzzled her with a thin smile on his face. "Crazy Diamond can you restore Nero's jacket? Oh and Nico cover your eyes." Joharai spoke as the 4 were confused until Crazy Diamond's backside was in full view for Nico. He had nothing covering his behind as Nico got a nice shot of the Stand's ass. People told her that her dad had an ass to die for so it was the same for his Stand too. "Holy shit! Why the hell isn't there anything covering his ass?! It's even worse when he has such a nice grabble ass! You did tell me all that stuff about Stands after all!" Nico shouted as Joharai and Crazy Diamond flustered a bright red.
"OhmyfuckinggodNico!" Joharai stuttered as her face was burning red. Then Crazy Diamond turned around giving the three men an accidental view of his exposed rear as well. And all three were bright red in the face no doubt questioning their sexuality though mostly Nero since he looked like he was going to pass out. Vergil had a snarl on his face looking with a hint of jealousy??? And Dante had a devilish grin growing on his face as he moved his hand closer.
The molotov cocktail of awkwardness had exploded when a squeak from Joharai and a high pitched Dora from Crazy Diamond came out. A handprint on Joharai's butt as Dante's hand was clamped on Crazy Diamond's ass. The man had slapped the Stand on the rear. Golden Experience had grabbed Nico before evacuating the room knowing full well what the idiot had accidentally unleashed. "Huh. He does have a nice butt. Didn't expect to even be able to touch him." Dante questioned oblivious to his own brother and nephew stepping away.
Dante looked up to meet the glowing eyes of Joharai as Crazy Diamond dispersed in front of him to be replaced with another Stand. This Stand was a crimson red with a diamond pattern across his body, just as muscular as Crazy Diamond but a few inches taller, the face was the pure manifestation of rage as the white skin had a large teeth bearing sneer and piercing green eyes followed by a mini pink face with the same expression on his forehead. This particular Stand was King Crimson and a Stand that manifested under one reason without Fort Minor's power. When Joharai was absolutely pissed for an familiar chelsea grin manifested. At this very moment, Dante knew, he had fucked up.
"Dante…You're dead." Joharai spoke voice sickly sweet. "Uh...I didn't know." Dante said only for King Crimson to get in his face. "YOU'RE DEAD FOR DEFILING WHAT IS MINE." An Italian male voice came from King Crimson as he cracked hos knuckles. What happened next wasn't pretty.
"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!!!!!!!!" Could be heard throughout the whole city as Dante was being pummeled by both King Crimson and Joharai's rapid fire punches. "ARRIVEDERCI!!!!" Joharai cried out and with one last punch Dante was sent flying through the window and out the building. Luckily they were on the first floor but it still hurt.
"Remember this dumbass! I feel what my Stand's feel! To smack Crazy Diamond's rear made you worthy of mine and King Crimson's punishment! Don't do it again!!!!" Joharai roared before walking off as Golden Experience and Nico looked out the hole Dante made from Joharai's beating with Vergil and Nero joining the duo. Dante looked absolutely broken as his bones were practically dust from the intense beating, bruises were everywhere including a whole lot of bumps and swelling. In a sense, he was completely wrecked but still alive.
"And that there gentlemen is why Joharai is called the Diamond on a Landmine back at her hometown." Nico states whistling. "Because just one touch and it explodes. I heard the song and now it'll forever haunt me." Nero stated as Vergil walked away though hid the slight bump forming on his pants. Dante laid on the concrete as his body began to heal his injuries. "Thank you Demonic Regeneration. I should have thought that one through. Damn demonic hormones. I really need to get laid. Better apologize to her tomorrow." Dante muttered while hissing as his bones began restoring themselves. His life had gotten more hazardous.
And that's it! Will Dante apologize to Joharai? And will she forgive him? What's with Crazy Diamond?
(I always think of Dante being bisexual and Vergil asexual. Also this came from how many people on Tumblr joke about Josuke having a nice ass and wanting to spank it.)
The basic established personalities of Stands:
Crazy Diamond basically serves a fathering role to Joharai. He did take care of Joharai when her dad wasn't around at times.
Sticky Fingers is a mama bear who can seriously hold a grudge. Since Bruno is really motherly, it makes since his Stand would be too.
Aerosmith not established yet.
Golden Experience is a child who desperately wants attention. Giorno didn't get much love or affection as a child so it's natural for his Stand to crave it.
King Crimson is protective and a bit possessive at times.
