The door got locked before Zeppeli and co. can help the Joestar. "JoJo!" Zeppeli screamed.

JoJo wondered what the fuck is going on and stared at the other end of the chain. Only to see the zombie wearing the same harness.

"Let's play a game. Welcome to the lair of the two headed Dragon!" Tarkus boasted.

He said how it would be nice to have a chain death match after 300 years of slumber.

"A-A-A c-c-chain death ma-match?" Ruby stuttered as Weiss fainted, falling into Yang's lap. "Jonathan.. Hang in there..." Yang said in worry. RB glared at her "What? I swear that pun wasn't on purpose! I'm really worried for Jonathan!"

The game worked on a weight system so it's... "A tug of war using their necks..." Blake shivered. "Shit! Look! Tarkus is almost twice the size of Jonathan!" Yang exclaimed as the screen pan out to show the size difference between the two.

"I killed 48 people here. This sport is my specialty."

"C-Can't we just play rugby?"

"Oh great, Tarkus is experienced too." Ruby deadpanned. Zeppeli punched the door in desperation as Speedwagon attempted to stop him. His fists began to bleed as he can't bear to see his student get hanged. He said how hamon isn't very destructive, it can handle bricks but not this door.

"That means JoJo can't use it on the chain to give Tarkus a metal silver overdrive!" Blake exclaimed. "Weiss, wake up! Wake! Up!" Ruby lightly slapped the heiress' unconcious face.

Tarkus said how the doors are automatically locked during a match, and that the keys to their collars were on the collars of ones' opponents, so they have to decapitate them to get it.

"T-That is not a good way to train knights." Yang stuttered. "What are the chances you would have a tug of war with your neck in the battlefield anyway??" Blake exclaimed at the questionable logic.

Tarkus pulled as JoJo's head hit the ceiling. It broke his bones as RBY winced. "This fucking door!" Zeppeli was beyond frustrated that he had to watch his apprentice die slowly and that they are helpless as fuck.

"They need to find a way to get through that damn door!" Yang said as Weiss groaned, slowly waking up. "I had this nightmare... Where my Jonathan is about to die..." she muttered but as she saw the scene, she almost fainted again.

'I wet my pants! I have to get away from these guys! All they did was brought those zombies to my town.' Pocco monologued.

"They are trying to save it, you ungrateful fuck!" Yang angrily snarled.

Speedwagon saw a lever from the other side but it was just out of reach. Pocco heard it and saw a cross shaped hole in the wall.

"Pocco! Get in there!" Weiss shrieked. "I doubt they'd let him! He is just a kid!" Ruby argued.

Zeppeli and Speedwagon argued how they must use the entrance Tarkus used but it would take too much time. Pocco's legs buckled. His knees were shaking. But then...

Speedwagon: AAAAGGH! Damnit! Why am I so powerless?!

It triggered something inside Pocco. He remembered when a bunch of bullies... Well, bully him. RWBY frowned at the sight. "Seriously, I can't understand why people have so much fun in that." Blake whined.

Pocco's older sister came and scared the bullies off. "When will you fight back?"

"Tomorrow..?"

"And when is tomorrow?"

Pocco got bitchslapped. RWBY frowned at the sight, but they knew damn well that it's tough love. Weiss remembered her dear old Winter, while she never slapped her, the older Schnee always told her to be tough, Pocco's sister reminded her all of that.

Pocco hugged her and sobbed, the older woman comforted the young boy.

Pocco climbed the vent towards the hole as the two heroes noticed him. "Oi! Don't go there! What are you thinking?! Are you stupid?!" Speedwagon called out.

"Concussed." RWB said in unison.

"He finally had the guts! The three's courage finally rubbed on to Pocco!" Yang cheered. "Go, Pocco!" Ruby adds.

He remembered his sister's question. "When is tomorrow?"

"Sis! Tomorrow is now!" he yelled proudly while the team groaned. "You shouldn't scream while sneaking around!" Blake lectured.

Tarkus saw the brat as Zeppeli and his crew gasped. It's no place for a child.

Tarkus aimed to kick him but JoJo pulled with all of his strength to lessen the force. It was still enough to leave Pocco flying to the lever.

"Oh my, he really did became concussed!" Weiss exclaimed as blood fell from his forehead.

He smiled weakly as he opened the door with the lever before passing out. "I-I did it!"

"Hell yeah you did! I'm proud of you, kid!" Yang yelled as if she was his sister. "Own your fear!" Ruby cheered as Weiss smiled. Blake however was a bit nervous since it's not over yet.

The two entered the room. Speedwagon ran to aid the child, saying he did good. "Darn right he did!" Ruby proudly said.

RWBY heard the ominous roundabout guitar.

"Baron Zeppeli! Crush that huge son of a whore to bits!" Speedwagon cheered. RWBY went silent as they noticed William is silent. They heard Tonpetty's voice about predicting his doom.

"W-What??" Ruby stuttered in fear. "Now?? I thought he is fated to die of old age... I didn't know it would be this soon.." Yang said. Blake lets out a gulp while Weiss stared silently. Ruby shook her head "Just watch, guys! Baron is going to change his fate!" she said full of optimism.

"Baron? Why do you look so dire?"

"If this is my fate, then I accept it."

To be continued.

"Aw come on!" Yang whined. "This show is really good at making cliffhangers." Blake noted.

"Next! Click next! Our last episode for the night, ladies." Ruby grabbed the remote from Blake's sweaty palm and pressed the button.

"Zeppeli is one of the good guys, watch him alter his fate and release JoJo." Ruby said full of optimism. "Y-Yeah. Not all fortune tellers can tell the truth." Yang said shakily. "I don't even think hamon can help people tell someone's fate." Blake muttered.

The scene showed the snowy mountains of Tibet as Zeppeli told Tonpetty that he is prepared for whatever will happen to him.

They are balancing themselves on tightropes on mountains so high up the sky they are above the clouds. "Woah..." was all they can mutter.

RWBY felt goosebumps at what Tonpetty had to say.

"In an acient ruin that reeks of the stench of the dead. A child will open the path. In order to release a young lion, who will unleash his wrath, you will burn your wounds and meet with death. Forever you will rest."

"That... Sounds like..." Weiss drifted off. "The very situation Zeppeli is in right now..." Yang said in distress.

"I guess this is it for him..." Blake braced herself. Ruby remained silent, they were shown JoJo's close encounters with death and he always find a way! Why is Zeppeli any different? Just because some dumb bald guy said so?

Zeppeli was stone cold but deep inside he was terrified. He took a deep breath as he owned his fears and proudly walked "Here I come, JoJo!"

JoJo can't budge the steel collar, and Tarkus hadn't shown any tricks so far and that is fucking terrifying.

"Come, fools! None of you will be able to lay a finger on me with your flimsy ripple!" Tarkus boasted. "But you're chained. An easy target if you ask me." Weiss deadpanned.

Zeppeli got close and avoided a punch. Tarkus taunted him as Zeppeli kept avoiding attack after attack the huge fuck is throwing. "Come on, Baron! Fight back!" Ruby cheered while the rest remained silent, increasingly nervous at his impending doom.

Zeppeli bounced off the wall as if he heard the scythe wielder cheer on, he delivered a dropkick on Tarkus and spun "TORNADO OVERDRIVE!"

Tarkus just stared at him which made the team feel uneasy before vanishing and appearing above Zeppeli.

"What?!"

"How did he-"

"No way!"

"Impossible!"

"Above me?" Zeppeli uttered.

"No! Baron! The chain is coming from below!" his apprentice screamed.

"You're both right." Tarkus said as the chain got wrapped on Zeppeli's torso. "HOW IS HE SO FUCKING FAST?! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIM!" Yang screamed.

Zeppeli was getting squeezed to death while Jonathan used all of his strength to keep himself from being choked.

"Killing two birds with one stone! Take this, HELL HEAVEN SNAKE KILL!!!" the giant roared as he pulled harder.

Zeppeli can't use hamon, so does JoJo. The team had their mouths wide open at this dire situation. Speedwagon felt so useless, he can't do anything but watch his two allies get killed by this big fucker.

RWBY winced as the scene becomes harder and harder to watch. Zeppeli's face twisted as the unbearable pain was too much for him to handle until...

He was snapped in half along with one arm as JoJo choked on his own blood.

RWBY's face fell. "... Z-" was all Yang, the noisiest, could say. They were all speechless.

They didn't even care about the gore, they were so devastated that William got cut in half. Tarkus proclaimed that he won.

"This... Is just too cruel! AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!" Speedwagon lets out a scream of rage and grief as he was forced to watch it all unfold. A tear slowly fell from Ruby's silver eyes, Yang covered her mouth as her eyes also watered up. Weiss buried her face to the pillow and began to sob as Blake shut her eyes to avoid witnessing the cruel fate and to stop her tears from falling.

JoJo groaned weakly which shocked the team. "A-Alive...! JoJo is..." Yang said hopefully. Tarkus said that he even have a broken neck yet he's still alive to which shocked the team once more.

A hand grasped Jonathan's.

"Jonathan..! Now is not the time for dying, lad..!" Zeppeli pulled himself closer as the team remained speechless.

"I give to you my torch..! My final ripple... Is now yours... Take it from me!" their hands glowed brightly as he transferred all of his ripple to the Joestar.

"ULTIMATE DEEP PASS OVERDRIVE!"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!" JoJo lets out a roar as his body can barely contain the power. Zeppeli finally unleashed the lion.

JoJo twitched and went spastic as his shirt got disintegrated. His wounds healed and his body stronger than ever. The light died down as it was all over.

"W-What did he do?? How is that gonna hel-" Yang stopped herself as the camera revealed Zeppeli, looking older than he was. Blake mentally added to her note that hamon also slows down aging.

Zeppeli lets out a weak chuckle as he used his death to the hero's advantage. "B-Baron ZEPPELI! AAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!" Speedwagon screamed, causing them to tear up again.

Tarkus appeared and threatened to stomp on Zeppeli.

"N-NO!" Ruby shrieked.

OOF!
