Stroheim: "Human greatness comes from proudly facing down one's fears." those are the words of a Greek philosopher named Plutarch.
RWBY smiled. They remembered Baron Zeppeli's definition of courage and it will stick with them for a long time.
Stroheim: Farewell, you English jackass!
Joseph: WAIT I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO ASK-
*BOOM*
"Oh my... He... Died." Blake gulped. "I never thought I would stop hating him after what he did to those people! But now I'm... Sad." Ruby whimpered. Yang saluted for some reason. Weiss stared down in sorrow.
Joseph was blown back by the shockwave but he landed on his feet near the well. He fought back tears. Damnit. He was just starting to befriend that guy.
But Stroheim's sacrifice was somewhat muda as Santana was relatively unharmed heading for the well behind Joseph.
Joseph: RRRRRRRAAAGH! SANTANAAAAA!!!
"It was in vain! His sacrifice was pointless!" Weiss sobbed.
Santana: Move or die, JoJo!
Joseph: Shut it! I only move when there is dogshit in the way so fucking make me! HAMON!
Their fists met eachother, but the supercaveman is too strong and it sent Joseph flying to the well. "JOSEPH!" Yang yelled once again.
Santana leapt above him as they descended down the well. Santana boasted how he won.
But then...
Joseph: ... And now you'll say: Learned your lesson, primate?
Santana: Learned your lesson, primate? HUH?
"... A COMEBACK!" RWBY squealed. Basically whenever Joseph does that, he ends up victorious.
Joseph smirked as he turned his head to the side and let the sun's reflection fry that motherfucker from both sides.
Joseph: IT'S HIIIIIGH NOON! Try calculating the position of the sun before jumping to a well, fucking dumbass!
Santana: AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!
"Wait, if he reached the water then he'll survive!" Blake exclaimed. "What do you suggest he should do then?!" Yang angrily asked. "I don't know- an overdrive would work!" Blake replied in panic. But Joseph dugged his hands and feet to the walls to halt their descent. "That works too." Weiss chuckled. "Awesome! That's what you get, Santana!" Ruby pumped her fist.
Santana became mumified as he turned rock solid. RWBY went silent at the fascinating fact they found out that Pillar Men had these defense mechanism against sunlight.
"Saved by the sun... Praise the sun." Weiss sighed in relief.
To be continued.
And with that, Ruby grabbed the remote and...
Rewind~
"Yo sis, what are you doing?" Yang asked as Blake stood up to take a bathroom break while Weiss heads to the kitchen for a glass of water.
"I'll just try to get a sneak peek on the Pillar Men Stroheim was talking about."
"Uketsugu ai wo!"
Lisa Lisa closed her eyes and twirled smoothly
"sadame to yobu nara!" the red stone dangles.
"Hohoemu me de, tsugi no te wo!" as multiple arms reached out for it.
Straizo, Speedwagon, a random girl, two buff men,
"SEKAI ICHI!" ... And Stroheim quickly appeared through transitions. The last showing Santana's stone form the two failed to notice at first
"Yami wo azamuite,"
"Wind Mode: DIVINE SANDSTORM UREEEEUUUGHHH!!!"
"setsuna wo kawashite!"
"Heat Mode: BURNING PRISON!"
"Light Mode: Shining Sabres!"
"Yaiba surinuke yatusra no suki wo tsuke!"
The four (Blake and Weiss had returned and figured out what they're doing) were speechless.
"Tsuranuita omoi ga! mirai wo hiraku!"
Ruby turned it off for awhile. "JOSEPH HAS TO FIGHT THOSE BEASTS?!"
"Let's just... Watch the next episode." Blake sighed.
The screen shows a very wonderful place called Rome, Italy. "It's beautiful!" the heiress and the faunus said as the two sisters agreed. The camera panned outside a peaceful yet prestigious looking city. Until...
Joseph: What is this bullshit?!
The peaceful scene was ruined by the Joestar as the camera cuts inside a hotel. "Eugh. Are those... Hair?" Ruby flinched as she saw what's on Joseph's plate. His outfit also changed to a vest over a white shirt as he tried to rough house the wimpy waiter by grabbing his collar. "Joseph looked good~" Yang complimented.
"Eww! I think it's spaghetti!" Weiss cringed.
Joseph: You expect me to eat spaghetti with fucking... Squid ink on it? Is this a goddamn joke?!
Waiter: S-Sir, please calm down! This is called spaghetti al nero di seppia, it-it's one of our finest delicacies here!
"Well... If he says so, it can't be that bad right?" Blake asked as Joseph lets go of the waiter. He sat back down and tasted it.
Joseph: My! What a treat!
Waiter: It's quite good!
The waiter bowed and then left the childish Joestar slurping large amounts of spaghetti. "Hehe. What a kid." Yang smiled. Blake and Weiss planned on cooking a homemade spaghetti al nero di seppia one day, it looks appetizing. "Aww, now I'm hungry." Ruby whined.
Salad: The hotel will let in anyone these days, even classless oafs.
The camera showed a blonde buff gentleman and his date sitting on a table quite far from Joseph, yet the Joestar heard the insult. "Wait... DIOOO??!" Ruby shrieked. "No, no, calm down sis. Just because he is blonde and hot means he is Dio." Yang rubbed her sister's hair.
They heard an opera music in the background.
Weiss and Blake were immediately attracted as the man showed a necklace to his date. They noticed pink markings below his eyes. He also seemed to be about the same age as Joseph.
Salad: My pretty thing, before you take this off at night. Please think of me.
"That's so romantic!" Weiss exclaimed. "Hey hey hey, I thought Jonathan is your husbando, Weiss!" Yang complained. "Yeah but it's not so bad to compliment others!" the heiress said. "He is so dreamy." Blake muttered. "Wha- not you too, Blake! Come on, that guy is a try hard! I hate the overly sweet type of guys! With the exception of Jonathan, all of them are smug!" Yang ranted. "That explains why no one hits on you!" Weiss rebutted. "Pfft, I would rather not get hit on by a pompous ass like that. I bet that's how Dio himself rolls." Yang huffed. Meanwhile, Ruby had no idea what they are talking about.
Joseph meanwhile, was a little bit jealous and insecure that this guy is having an easy time with the ladies. He remembered getting kicked in the shin by that reporter girl like it was yesterday when he attempted to flirt with her.
Joseph: OH NO! Did that uptight douchebag really just said that?! It's so sweet, it gave me diabetes!
"Yes! See? Even he agrees with it!" Yang claimed.
Caesar rolled his eyes and continued with his move.
Salad: I shall cast my spell on to it, so we can be together even in your dreams...
He kissed the jewelry before putting it on the cute girl with the fucking Wolverine hairdo. Weiss and Blake awwed at the sight and blushed. Ruby blinked innocently while Yang was frustrated that someone actually digs that corny method.
Salad: And spread the magic to my signorina's lips.
Joseph whined dramatically how stupid that is as Caesar kissed the woman. Yang rolled her eyes as WB blushed even harder.
Joseph: That scheming asswipe, I saw his game! Yurusan!
RWBY wondered what Joseph will do about it. Joseph smirked and twisted his fork to his plate, using hamon to revert the spaghetti back to dry pasta.
"He's... Gonna prank him?" Ruby giggled. "Ugh... What an idiot." Weiss facepalmed. "Hey, I would have done the same!" Yang defended her man. "Then you're an idiot too." the heiress rebutted. "Nah-ah. Concussed." the faunus adds.
Joseph flicked the hamon infused pasta to the Casanova, but the blonde italiano caught it with his fork and deflected it back to the Joestar without even looking away from his partner.
RWBY gasped as Joseph quickly blocked it with his wine goblet. The harden noodle halted as it pierced through the glass. "How did he..?" Blake drifted off.
Joseph: What the?? The hell did he just do?! *sips spaghetti* Hamon?! He used hamon!
"HAMON USER!?" RWBY asked simultaneously.
Waiter: Excuse me, but you have a call from Mr. Speedwagon, Mr. Caesar Zeppeli.
"ZEPPELI?!" they asked once again.
Caesar: Mamma mia! I'll be there in a moment.
Caesar cockily tossed his checkered hat to his head with an arrogant glance directed at JoJo.
Joseph: WHAT. That blonde pizza fuckboy is the Zeppeli grunkle Speedwagon was talking about?!
"THAT IS BARON'S HAT!" Ruby pointed out. "Wait, he is the othet guy from the intro!" Yang stood up. "So that means he must be William's son... Or grandson!" Weiss deducted. "He inherited the ripple, I guess it all makes sense now..." the faunus said.
The show cuts outside a Speedwagon Foundation building as the narrator describe the vision and mission of the organization. Helping the poor, furthering science, archaeology, and such for the better of humankind. But the deeper purpose of it is... To study the Stone Mask.
RWBY lets out a gulp. The actions of the vampire tyrant still haunts them to this day, while he's a mere snack to Santana, he is the cause of many suffering and agony.
Speaking of Santana, they were shown that the rockified Santana is inside a container filled with UV light, the scientists experimented by putting a snake inside to which the pillar absorbed.
But he won't be a threat anymore. RWBY lets out a huge sigh of relief.
But, Speedwagon observed a photo from the projector taken from the site they excavated in Italy.
"I knew it, there are more of them!" Yang exclaimed. "Hold on... What are those horns for? Santana had one right?" Blake asked in curiosity.
Speedwagon: Their horns are unique. Look, here is Santana at the very bottom.
"Could it be?? A symbol of their hierarchy?!" Weiss trembled. Santana is the weakest yet he is already a formidable opponent on his own.
And so, the bachelor Speedwagon told the scientists his plan, to gather the two descendants of the most reliable ripple warriors he know, and carry their torch.
RWBY felt more hyped. "Joestar and Zeppeli, what a powerful combo." Ruby whispered. "Yeah... But... They don't have the best first impression with eachother, Ruby." Blake said.
As it cuts to the present time, Speedwagon was sitting in front of a fountain while the two youth are on different sides of it, Joseph mingling with the birds because why not, while Caesar flirting with a random chick.
Speedwagon: Come on, I introduced you to eachother, atleast form a conversation!
"See?" the faunus giggled.
I just realized, there are too many blondes in Battle Tendency.
