Jojo's Perspective
The walk towards the town square was tense, I was lucky that Bruford's sword didn't cut anything vital, so my wounds were easily treated with some oran berries, but my right bone pad needed some time to heal, so I wrapped a bandage around it.
We stayed silent during the walk there, " are you sure that Straizo is there? ".Evie asked me.
I nodded and kept walking. Lucario's radio went off.
" *bzzt* we need backup at the town square! The serial killer is he-AHHH! ".
Lucario didn't even bother to pick up the radio, we picked up the pace towards the square.
When we arrived there, we quickly realized that we were too late, dead Magnemites were all over the place, all four of us were in shock
" Straizo… where the hell is h- " Lucario got interrupted by someone leaning on a wall
" speak of the devil… and he shall appear " Straizo butted in.
We all glared at him, he got off of the wall and stood at the opposite side of the square.
Lucario stepped forward with her paws glowing blue, she manifested a glowing blue staff probably out of the aura and pointed it at Straizo.
I motioned for Lucario to step back, " this is my fight Luc, I can take him ".
" what! No you can't, you've seen what he can do " she argued.
" with all due respect, your aura powers can't do jack-shit against the undead! Only with hamon I can ensure that Straizo wont get back up ".
Lucario was offended, but she saw my reasoning and backed off.
" then you'll need this… " Ray passed Bruford's sword of luck and pluck to me, I gripped the handle tightly and stepped forward towards Straits.
" Ahh, Bruford's sword, that brings back memories " Straizo smiled.
I was unsettled by how calm he was, I got into a fighting stance.
We both stood there for a minute, it was dead quiet.
I charged up the sword with hamon and charged at Straizo, I sliced his upper body and saw bits of it disintegrate, I jumped back as he tried to kick me.
I repeatedly slashed at him while dodging his attacks, is he seriously that weak?
I lunged forward and plunged my sword into his torso, he recoiled back, I started channeling hamon through the sword and into his body.
" prepare to be fried Straits! ", I just need to fill his body with hamon for a few more seconds, then he'll explode!
But it seems I underestimated vampire strength, he effortlessly kicked me away with the sword still sticking through his chest and he grotesquely tore it out
" I purposely let you strike me so you would tire yourself out, now my 「space ripper stingy eyes」will tear straight through your skull! ", he shot out some kind of purple laser out of his eyes.
Wait… those aren't lasers, If they were I would instantly die, those are actually his eye fluids!
Unfortunately I spent too much time contemplating on what his laser eyes were to actually dodge them, I leapt to the side at the last second and avoided one of the lasers which flew past my face.
My left arm… wasn't so lucky, the other laser pierced through it, I screamed in pain and stumbled back, blood was gushing out of it, I clutched the wound with my other paw.
Well I can safely say that I can't use my arms... crap.
Straizo rushed forward and backhanded me in the side, I crashed into the wall of a building as blood spewed out my mouth.
I could sense the others being surprised at the sudden turn of events, for arceus's sake don't try to save me!
Straizo lunged forward with his fists up, I ducked right when he was about to throw a right hook, I could hear the wall crumbling behind me when his fist collided.
I released my right arm from my bleeding limb and punched him in the gut with hamon, my hamon-infused arm went straight through his stomach, I could see his insides getting disintegrated.
He pulled out my arm and tossed me like a ragdoll across the square, pain shot through my body again as I came in contact with the pavement, I think I broke a rib or two, I was now sprawled out on the ground.
" that's it! I'm coming for you Straizo! " Lucario's presence went towards Straizo, I forced my head to look towards them, I heard grunts as my head moved.
Lucario was tearing apart Straizo with her aura staff, heh... maybe I should've just let her do the work.
I struggled to get up, even if Lucario could overpower Straizo in a fight that doesn't mean that she can defeat him, he's just going to regenerate and come back stronger.
Evie and Ray both rushed over to help me up, Evie shoved an oran berry in my blood filled mouth, It didn't heal much, orans can heal surface level cuts and bruises but not broken bones and severed arteries, which I probably have.
I looked over to Lucario, who just turned Straits into a pile of flesh chunks, no wait… he can only die from hamon…
She smirked at me, " so what was that you said about the aura? " she said smugly.
She didn't notice Straizo's severed body parts pulling themselves together, but we were too horrified at what was happening behind her to warn her in time.
" what's wrong?, you kids look like you saw a gh- ".
CRACK
Lucario collapsed face-first in front of us, her cranium was smashed open, we looked up from her unconscious body and saw a mangled Straizo glaring at Jojo.
" once I have killed you Jojo, the only other hamon user in the world, my zombie horde will conquer every square inch of the planet, and no one else will be able to stop me ".
Did he just say… only ' other ' hamon user?...
I tried to produce hamon, but I was way too fatigued to make enough.
" your breathing is getting sloppier Joseph, even if you could produce hamon I would be able to easily counter it ", he got into a fighting stance, " I have inherited thousands of years worth of hamon training, even if I wasn't a vampire, I could easily best you with my abilities ".
He leaped forward, ready to kill us, but then a ball of fire collided with him, sending him flying backwards.
We looked over to who shot it, it was Luc's rescue team!
Ninetales peered at the mortally wounded Lucario, " quite an injury, but still treatable ", he looked at Straizo, who already got up.
Syther and Greninja both appeared besides Ninetales, " don't worry, we'll take it from here ".
I ran over to Bruford's sword and picked it up, resting the handle on the hole in my left arm, I looked back at the rescue team.
Straizo was clashing with the other rescue team members, and unsurprisingly, he was winning.
Hamon is ineffective against him right now, but a well timed aura sphere however…
I cupped my right arm over my injured left paw, both paws connecting, I focused on my aura and they started glowing blue, they slowly pushed away from each other, revealing a bright, neon blue orb, but for some reason it had a yellow tint to it, is that hamon?
I kept focusing on my aura, the sphere grew bigger, and it became more yellow, yep… definitely hamon, it's probably fusing with the aura sphere.
The sphere got bigger and bigger, while also making me more fatigued, it was now the size of a Riolu.
Once it got to that size, I fired it at Straizo, the horrified look on his face when he saw the giant aura sphere coming at him was priceless.
His entire body went up in sparks when the sphere collided, after a few seconds he was just a pile of dust, I signed in relief and rested my head on the pavement.
But then something moving in the corner of my eye made me jerk back up, just 10 metres away was Straizo's ( still alive ) severed head, it had several tentacles coming out of the bottom.
We both stared at each other, he growled, before slingshotting himself straight at me, tentacles going for my head, " DIE JOJO! ".
I held up Bruford's sword.
" The names Joestar… ".
I pointed the blade at Straizo, " JOSEPH JOESTAAAAAAAAR! " I screamed out as Straizos head was impaled in the blade
I channeled hamon through the sword, the energy coursed through the severed head and disintegrated it entirely! Straizo gave out a pained scream as he crumbled into dust.
I dropped the sword and collapsed onto the pavement, my vision was slowly going dark, I couldn't feel Ray nor Evie's Presences, maybe they were out trying to get help, as if on cue I felt a crowd of people approaching, that's good…
As I felt my body shutting down from blood loss I couldn't help but reminisce at the events and people that brought me here, especially Evie and Ray, they were very interesting people, I smiled as everything went dark.

Raymond's Perspective
Wow… what a fiasco yesterday was.
The police obviously weren't happy with us breaking the curfew, but they did admit that we helped ( did the work for them ) bringing Straizo to justice.
So after a brief chastise, they let us go... to our very... very... very… VERY angry parents, I shuddered at the thought of going through a lecture like what my mom gave again.
Evie didn't get a lecture from her grandma, she was just told to go to bed, I'm pretty sure the look she gave her was all the punishment she needed.
But on the bright side, Evie had an enormous change of mood, she wasn't jumping for joy, but it seemed like a gargantuan weight was lifted from her shoulders.
I heard that Jojo had to recover in the hospital, it would probably take weeks or months for that arm to heal.
Wobbuffet was teaching us about… something, I was too occupied with a book I was reading, it was about some mobster named " Diavolo ", it was a pretty interesting read.
" and that is how atomic energy works, any questions? " no hands were raised, " now… onto mat-".
The door opened, and a very familiar figure popped out.
" what did I miss? "
Chapter 11 End - Act 1 End
Wow, writing is fun
