Cafeteria.
"You know it's been awhile since we all been together." Jonathan said. "Yes. Last time being last night." Jotaro rolled his eyes.
"I must say, the food they have are amazing!" Josuke said with his mouthful. "I agree, however they didn't accept any other suggestions from me other than spaghetti al nero di seppia." Giorno mumbled as he twirled his fork around the pasta. "These are amazing! You shouldn't beat yourself up." Josuke reassured him.
Meanwhile Joseph was frowning, he remembered his first time eating the dish, it's when he met Caesar.
"This is garbage! How do you expect me to eat something that looks like it came from Dark Knight Bruford's head? Disgusting." Dio huffed and folded his arms. "Dio, remember what father said, don't shoo it until you chewed it." Jonathan reminded him. Giorno frowned, his father straight up see his dish as trash.
Joseph was not having it. This food had a special place in his heart. "Don't worry, I got this..." he whispered to Giorno.
Twirling his fork around the pasta "Koooooh..." the pasta suddenly became stiff, making Jotaro raise an eyebrow, Josuke couldn't careless and kept munching on the sausage while Giorno merely observed his nephew. "What are y-" Jonathan stopped himself.
Joseph flung the pasta towards Dio. And this time, his hamon prank was successful.
Dio shrieked in pain, it was laced with the ripple after all, so it will obviously hurt.
"Joseph! That's rude!"Jonathan scolded as he stood up from his seat. "Hahahaha! Serves you right!" Joseph heartily laughed, Josuke snickered while Giorno covered his mouth.
Jotaro tugged his cap "Good grief."
A frozen turkey leg hit Joseph square in the chest. "GAH-" he fell back to the ground.
"You dare challenge the mighty Dio?" the vampire slowly stood up, the scar on his face slowly but surely healing up.
Josuke suddenly stood up "FOOD FIIIIIIIIGHT!"
"J-Josuke, no-" Jonathan got mustard smeared to his face by Crazy Diamond.
"Oi! Sit the fuck down! I don't want this to escalate to something annoy-" Crazy Diamond smeared ketchup to Jotaro's face too.
Giorno immediately rolled to the ground and grabbed a bowl before turning it to an apple, tossing it towards his father.
"Oh ho? An apple? A mere fruit won't be able to hurt-" Gold Experience reverted the apple back to a bowl and it definitely hurt Dio.
Chaos ensued.
...
The 4 girls panted, it's been awhile since they cried like this. "Caesar... He wanted to fight them in the morning because he can't use the lenses at night..." Weiss mumbled. "S-Stooop!" Ruby whined, reaching for the box of tissue.
"I think... I think we had enough JoJo for today." the faunus said. "No.. We need to see Joseph and Wamuu's battle." Yang argued, wiping a tear. Blake sighed "I don't think that would be a good idea."
"We have to! It's the only way we'll get... Closure." Yang fell down on her knees and sniffed.
"I agree with Yang... After that, we deserved to see Caesar being avenged..." Ruby whispered.
"I second that... I moved on. We must be strong. Worst comes to worst, something similar might happen in the future when we finally become Huntresses..." the heiress said. But Blake remained silent. "It's okay Blake... We should have seen it coming." Yang said.
"I guess the lack of plot armor made the story so beautiful..." Blake sadly smiled.
"But I honestly thought all the tragedy would leave when we finished PB-" the leader started but as she returned to the couch, she accidentally pressed rewind.
Joseph: -EEASAAAAAAAAAAR!
Basta un tuo sorriso!
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
un tuo sol sorriso
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!
"I haven't moved on!" Weiss began sobbing once again. "AAAHHH! I'M SORRY!" Ruby squeaked as tears fell once more. Blake and Yang simply stared as Joseph screamed at the rock. It was beautiful. The lighting, the music, and the camera angle.
Non morirà
l'alma mia. È immortaaaaaaaaaal!
... Non serve versar lacrime~
The sunlight blared at the cross shaped rock as Lisa Lisa silently cried on her knees, while her student passionately called out his bestfriend's name. What a sight to behold.
"My heart..." Yang whimpered, she wanted to give the Joestar a hug now. Blake wiped her tears away and grabbed the remote.
"You know, I couldn't even hate Wamuu for what he did..." the faunus muttered. "I understand. He spared the bubble and was honorable..." Yang replied.
"Yes. It feels like... He was a good person who joined the wrong team." she pressed the remote, checking the menu and seeing that there are only a few episodes left, she sighed and smiled.
"Blake..." the blonde muttered. Weiss and Ruby looked up at Blake with their wavering eyes.
The faunus glanced at them, tears threatening to fall once again "Let's finish Battle Tendency today... For Caesar."
...
"Ahaha! Ahaha!" Josuke laughed as he tossed tomatoes at other innocent students. But then, a chunk of mashed potato landed on his head in highspeed.
Jotaro smirked, remembering the day he hurled a dog at a blind man. "I'm as accurate as ever."
Josuke slowly rose, incredibly angry that his hair got wet. "MY FUCKING HAIR!"
"No hard feelings." Giorno just kept tossing debris at Jonathan and turning them in to fruits. The moment Jonathan tried to parry them away with his french bread, the damage was reflected back to him. "Nnng!" the gentleman grunted as he fell down with a thud.
Giorno felt the ground shake beneath him. The temperature soon rise, then a torrent of ripple launched him to the air. "Sendo Hamon Overdriiiiiiive..!" Jonathan weakly yelled as he was still lying on the floor.
"Wait! Whose with whom?! I don't want to commit friendly fire!" Joseph yelled out.
"I-I think it's every man for himself." his grandfather stood up.
"Joestar." Dio called out. Jonathan and Joseph looked at him.
"Not you, JoJo."
"Oh! My bad! Continue."
Dio glared at Joseph
"You scarred my face with your hamon filthier than frog piss! You will pay dearly!"
Dio's eyes started to glow. "Hey wait a minute! This is a food fight! Are you trynna fucking kill me?!" Joseph stomped on a table, launching a goblet to the air.
Dio's Space Ripper Stingy Eyes got deflected by Joseph's Hamon Goblet, it peirced the vampire in the neck. "Keh! Now you'll say 'WRYYYyyyyYYY"'
"WRYYYyyyyYY?!"
...
The team silently watched as the episode began with a shot of the outside of the hotel, before transitioning inside and showing the fallen cross.
Narrator: This building was originally a 14th-century castle. It was converted into a hotel in the early 1900's. But it closed 10 years ago when its owner died. Now Kars has turned it into a shelter from the sun. The enemy lurks within. But JoJo and Lisa Lisa know nothing of the hotel's layout.
W: It is what Joseph's worried about, the place is huge, Kars could have ambushed them and picled them off one by one.
R: That's the thing... They are both right.
Y: Man, imagine the last moment you spent with your bestfriend is punching him in the face and telling him to forget about his grandfather...
It showed several shots of hallways with windows covered by wooden planks, only thin streams of sunlight getting through, and then a tall spiral staircase covered in cobwebs, with Lisa Lisa and Joseph at the bottom looking up. The shot then transitioned to Joseph and Lisa Lisa staring forward with determination etched on their faces.
B: Well, Joseph seems to be taking it well...
Episode 21: A Hundred Against Two
The show cut in to Joseph waving away several cobwebs with his hand.
Joseph: Damn it! What's with the creepy cobwebs? Halloween is far away! We're depressed enough without these decorations!
Joseph looked down, and nodded at a long, winding trail of blood that led further down the corridor towards a door. RWBY watched in awe, Caesar must have wounded Wamuu pretty badly.
Joseph: But look at this trail of blood. Wamuu took an ass beating from Hamon. Caesar didn't go down without a fight.
As Joseph knelt to touch the blood, Lisa Lisa suddenly swiped one arm downwards diagonally, and then a second time to make an X. All of the remaining cobwebs were sliced up and fell to the ground after the lightning fast then cut to a set of metal clackers wrapped around Joseph's finger as he smirked.
Joseph: We can't let Wamuu recover! We're going in, Coach Lisa Lisa! Let's finish him off!
R: Yeah!
B: They better be careful... Wamuu is smart enough not to let himself get killed.
He walked forward as he spun the clackers expertly, reaching out with his free hand to grasp the doorknob. What was odd, however, was that the doorknob was shaped like a human fist, and Joseph recoiled with a shout.
Lisa Lisa: What is it?
Joseph: W-Well… T-This doorknob really grossed me out. It feels like I'm grabbing some guy's hand.
He reached forward and inspected it, rubbing it, before someone's voice rang out.
Door: I'm not a door!
Apparently the door wasn't a door.
Joseph: What!? You are, don't fucking fool us!
Lisa Lisa and Joseph looked around for the voice's owner, confused. The team were also confused.
R: A talking door?
Door-kun: I said I'm not a door.
Y: THEN WHAT ARE YOU?!
They looked back at the door and saw… it was hard to explain. It looked like someone had merged with the door, and their hand was protruding from it, acting as the doorknob. Joseph gasped in shock as Lisa Lisa stepped back.
RWBY and Lisa Lisa: A Vampire!
W: Joseph! Look out!
The door around the vampire splintered as it stepped through and brought their hands down to cut Joseph in half. Joseph reacted just in time, stepping back and holding his clackers up to defend himself, but their strings were too weak and they were easily cut in half without ever having been used.
R: OH NO!
B: There goes his weapons.
Joseph grunted and fell onto his ass, while Lisa Lisa stepped forward to check on him.
Lisa Lisa: JoJo!
Vampire: If it weren't for that weapon, I'd have peeled your face clean off!
The vampire was dressed in a striped crop top one-piece that showed off his muscular shoulders and chest, with suspenders holding up boxers. Because, once again, why not.
Y: I mean, I know JoJo characters are all about fashion, but this guy got the short end of the stick.
B: Why is he wearing suspenders and boxer shorts?
R: So thay's what boxer shorts look like.
Vampire: I'm Wired Beck. I killed my lover, and escaped prison. But then Lord Kars made me part of his gang with a mask. He has my loyalty. I'm not going to let you go in and disturb Lord Kars's rest.
W: Ahh geez, they are already making minions.
B: I'm guessing this is gonna be a repeat of fighting through hordes and hordes of undead to get to the final boss like Jonathan's journey in Windknight's.
Y: Well, atleast Lisa Lisa seems reliable compared to Dire, Tonpetty and Straizo. Those three only watched while Jonathan did all the work.
Joseph frowned as the color pallet went wonky like always.
Joseph: Those fiends! So they're already unleashing their hounds upon humans?!
Wired Beck: Mmm, mmmm, mmm, mmm.
Yang's eye twitched "What the hell is he doing?"
Ruby shrugged "Beats me."
"I guess being undead makes you a weirdo..." Weiss mumbled. Blake nodded in agreement.
Wired Beck did a weird dance in place as he hummed to himself, and the second yare yare uttered by a Joestar was heard. Joseph stood up and cracked his knuckles.
Joseph: How troublesome. You're just a braindead fuckwad that's bound for hell. Here, let me give you a little push into the abyss!
Before he could attack, Lisa Lisa suddenly moved in front of him.
Joseph: Coach Lisa Lisa?
Wired Beck just grinned at her, bending forward and crossing his arms.
Wired Beck: Beautiful! Magnificent! Such lovely skin you have! Hold em, let me drink your life through that pale skin!
Lisa Lisa: I'm in a bad mood. I don't want to hear from or look at a disgusting worm like you. But if you want to hold me, just try. It'll be the last thing you do.
She slipped on her sunglasses as Wired Beck frowned at her words, before a grin slipped back onto his face.
Wired Beck: OAGH!
He suddenly flexed, and just like Jack the Ripper, multiple spikes shot out of his skin, covering his whole body. But these were actual metal spikes, not knives, as Jack had. And his hair had disappeared.
Y: What the hell?
R: I knew he had some sort of gimmick with him.
W: Kinda reminds me of Jack.
B: They're both sound dumb as rocks too, Weiss.
Joseph: Spikes! They're spikes, not fingers! He's covered in wire-like body hair!
Wired Beck: I don't like when women make jokes about me.
B: Oh, and they are both mysoginistic too.
He snapped his suspenders against his body and lowered his voice.
Yang clasped her palms and grinned "Time to see what the coach can do!"
Wired Beck: Girls who laugh at me get punished!
Lisa Lisa simply crossed her arms with the familiar ring of Hamon, but none was visible yet. Wired Beck jumped into the air to descend on her from above, spinning before appearing right in front of her in the blink of an eye.
Wired Beck: I'll hug you to death!
Joseph: Yikes! He's faster than I thought!
Lisa Lisa suddenly grabbed her scarf and calmly moved her arm to encircle it around her body, and it glowed yellow with Hamon. RWBY were awestrucked by her calm movements. She was as skillful if not even more so than the late William Zeppeli.
Joseph: Her scarf! I see. Her scarf becomes a Hamon-filled weapon.
Weiss raised an eyebrow "Isn't that... It looks similar to Straizo's scarf..."
Blake glanced at the heiress "Now that you mentioned it..."
Yang and Ruby waved it off as coincidence "Nahh. You girls are overthinking it."
Wired Beck looked down in confusion when Lisa Lisa lazily draped it around his neck, and he ceased his attack to examine it.
Wired Beck: A scarf? You want to catch me? Don't make me laugh!
He easily ripped it to shreds, but Lisa Lisa simply walked by and grabbed a piece of it, the sound of Hamon ringing out as she walked past. "Well, did she won?" Ruby asked.
Wired Beck: Uh… Wha… where are you going?
Lisa Lisa: Come, JoJo. Let's move.
Y: She did won.
Joseph: O-Okay.
As he walked, he thought to himself, going over her moves in his head.
Joseph, thinking: Lisa Lisa's movements flow like silk. She doesn't waste any effort.
Wired Beck: Hey, don't ignore me!
Wired Beck was looking at Lisa Lisa incredulously, and turned to Joseph as he passed with clear confusion on his face.
Wired Beck: Hey, you! A woman like that needs to be punished, right?
RWBY laughed "Look at this fool, trying to befriend Joseph." Weiss chuckled.
Joseph just shrugged.
Joseph: Oh, no, friend. Your time is up. You see, you are already dead.
Wired Beck: Pffft- HAHAHA, what? No wa- OUGHHHHHHHHHHH!
Y: Oh geez, he got fried.
B: Well, that was easy.
Wired Beck: OOOOOUUUUGGGHH! (I died listening to his screams please help)
All of a sudden, Overdrive kicked in as all of the spikes exploded out of Wired Beck and he began screaming, holding his face with both hands. His skin started melting, followed by the rest of his body, before his clothes fell to the ground with a 'thump!' as Lisa Lisa walked through the door he'd been guarding. "Badass!" Yang cheered. "She is so composed, I wish to achieve that level of skill one day." Weiss smiled.
Joseph: She's got what it takes! I thought she'd be weak in a fight, but she's better than me! Sheesh, I overestimated myself, I'm impressed! She's my coach after all!
Lisa Lisa: What a waste of time.
Lisa Lisa kept walking, only turning back to ask a question.
Lisa Lisa: by the way, JoJo… you still haven't taken the antidote Caesar stole for you, eh?
R: Yeah, I wonder why?
Joseph: Oh, you mean this?
He removed it from inside his jacket, looking at it.
Lisa Lisa: Why?
Joseph: I'll drink it after I beat Wamuu. This ring isn't a promise between me and Wamuu anymore. It's now a promise to Caesar to fight and keep living. Lisa Lisa, will you hold onto it for me until I need it?
B: What- But Joseph, Caesar died making sure you get rid of the ring early! You should...
Y: Blake...
B: What?
Y: ... Idunno, I think you're right. It was all for nothing if Joseph beats Wamuu anyway...
Lisa Lisa: No. You should keep it. Who knows what may happen to me?
R: No, not her too!
W: If that's not a red flag, then I don't know what is!
She walked away, and Joseph stared at her in confusion. The camera then cut back to the blood trail they followed. "Wamuu had loss alot of blood." Blake muttered.
Wamuu sat upon a pedestal deeper inside the hotel, with his eyes closed and he looked to be fully healed. He twitched, and raised his head to glare at a doorway, before speaking.
Wamuu: Are they here?
W: Oh great, they didn't even get to finish him off.
The doors opened, and in walked Joseph and Lisa Lisa, glaring at the Pillar Man.
Wamuu: I've been waiting. You've grown quite a lot as a warrior, I can tell.
Wamuu's body glowed with green energy, and he stared resolutely at the two Hamon warriors.
Joseph: Thank- no, you bastard… you killed Caesar!
Wamuu: You killed Lord Esidisi!
Joseph: ... Fuck, you got me there. But whatever! it's not about the ring anymore! This is personal..!
Joseph made to charge forward, before Lisa Lisa leaped forward and threw her arm in front of him.
Lisa Lisa: Calm down, JoJo. Look at the floor.
Joseph: Don't worry, my head is cool. I noticed, too. The footprints, right? There are two sets.
R: Two sets?!
Y: KARS! He is probably there!
W: Or another vampire?
On the ground there was one visible set of prints leading to the pedestal Wamuu sat upon, but there was a second, hidden set that was quickly highlighted, and shown to lead off to the side. Joseph was suddenly yelling, action lines blurring around him.
Joseph: That means Kars is here! Where is he?! Show yourself, wanker!
B: Wait, I hear something...
The camera pulled back to show that the room was a large chamber with dozens of pillars holding up the ceiling, and silence answered Joseph's question.
Lisa Lisa: Yes. Two sets of footprints. But I feel dozens of lungs breathing.
R: Weiss, Yang. I think you're both right.
Y: How did you even hear that, Blake?
Blake's ribbon twitched.
Y: Oh.
Joseph looked at her in shock, as Wamuu narrowed his gaze.
Wamuu: It's her. I see… you're quite composed and perceptive for a woman. I can see how JoJo and Caesar learned so much so quickly. And you can feel even slightly the breathing. I can tell that despite being female, you're among the finest Hamon Warriors.
W: Why is there a stigma that girls can't be warriors? It's so annoying.
Wamuu summoned a small amount of wind to his hand, before waving it at a small fireplace. The fire roared higher, bathing the room in its light, and revealing dozens of vampires hanging from the ceiling, looking down on them with blood red, glowing eyes. RWBY felt silent.
Joseph: Wha-What the…?! You, you're all vampires aren't you? Fuck!
Y: I don't think ordinary humans can hang upside down like that, babe!
They simply stared down at him silently, and a small amount of sweat ran down Joseph's face.
Joseph: No response? Creepy.
The room suddenly lit up even more, and Joseph and Lisa Lisa turned to see Kars sitting in what seemed to be a small throne like chair, a rainbow spectrum of light shooting out of his body, while the creepy and quiet 'ayayay's' rang in the background. The vampires on the ceiling shifted apart as Kars glowed, and he slowly opened his eyes to look at them.
Joseph and RWBY: Kars!
He stopped glowing and snapped his fingers, causing all of the vampires on the ceiling to turn and stare at the intruders.
Vampire: Lord Kars gave us, his chosen, eternal life! It's 100 against 2! When our master gives the order, we'll tear you both to shreds, JoJo!
Joseph: Fucking cowards! What, you can't beat me 1 on 1?!
W: They are surrounded...
B: I think Lisa Lisa and Joseph can handle it. Lisa Lisa is more skillful than Jonathan if that fight earlier was an indication.
R: The one with Wired Beck? That's not a fight, that's a massacre!
Y: Skill sucks, atleast Jonathan is the fucking strong! He crushed a vampire that can shatter cliffs with brute force alone.
W: Ugh, Yang. Skill is more valuable than strength! Just look at yourself, you lack finesse.
Y: Oh please, atleast I don't lose that easily.
R: It's true! Your record doesn't look too good, Weiss.
W: Q-Quiet!
All of the vampires cheered as Wamuu and Kars stayed silent, and Joseph growled. He looked back and forth between the Pillar Men, then up at the vampires, before turning to Lisa Lisa and slapping a hand to his face.
Joseph: T-This is bad. It's 100 on 2. Lisa Lisa, we can't win this one!
As Kars raised his hand to give the order to kill them, Wamuu suddenly spoke up.
Wamuu: Wait, Lord Kars. Back in Rome, we promised to fight each other. I want revenge for Lord Esidisi. Please allow me to fight.
Kars: I shall not. Our utmost goal is to obtain the Red Stone of Aja. Retrieving it is as good as avenging Esidisi. Don't forget that, Wamuu.
Wamuu: Yes, my lord.
Joseph sighed and spread one arm out, the other going to rub the back of his neck. The girls grinned, they know what's gonna happen.
Joseph: That's right. We can't play, Wamuu. I'm not in the mood anymore. I know I could beat you. But even if I did, all these pesky vampires are still here.
He began hopping around the room, still sighing, but a visible white string was trailing from his fingers, criss-crossing across the floor. Yang bursted out laughing along with her sister. Weiss covered her mouth while Blake just shook her head "Never change."
Joseph: Win or lose, I'd still die, right? With odds like that, well fuck it, giving up is only natural. I'm throwing in the towel.
The camera cut back to show the strong wrapped around several pillars and the vampires looking at it exasperated, making the daughters of Tai laugh even harder, Weiss started to giggle too. Joseph sighed and stood straight.
Joseph: Goddamnit! You all saw, didn't you? And I thought I could zap them all at once, too.
R: -ahahaaaa, it was worth the try...
Kars: Now, kill them!
Y: -haha- wait NO!
Lisa Lisa: Try it. But if you kill us, you'll never have the Stone.
Kars's eyes widened, and he held his hand up.
Kars: Hold! What's this, woman?
Lisa Lisa: What? I'm not stupid enough to be carrying the Stone here.
Y: Ooooh, sassy.
She pulled down the collar of her dress to show that the Stone wasn't around her neck.
Lisa Lisa: If one of us isn't in a certain place at a certain time… the Stone will be destroyed! BANG.
R: I-Is this true though?
Kars and Wamuu jerked back as a 'bang!' sounded out at Lisa Lisa's announcement, before Kars day back and tapped his forehead.
Kars: Don't try to fool me, woman.
Lisa Lisa: We planned to strap it near an explosive just in case we all get killed, you will still lose. Do you think you'll be able to find it in time? The bomb is a small thing, but is enough to damage the Stone.
W: I'm not even sure if it's a bluff.
Y: Just look at her face, Weiss. She is stone cold! Probably telling the truth.
As Kars growled and narrowed his eyes, Joseph grinned from behind Lisa Lisa and thought to himself.
Joseph, thinking: Is all this true? She never told me. I'm just run with it!
Joseph:O-Ohhh, that! Yeah you told us about that one time, C-Coach! Kars! It's all true! If we die, boom! Kaboom!
Kars: Hmmm... Even so, we can't let you leave here alive.
Lisa Lisa: I have a suggestion. JoJo and Wamuu can fight one-on-one.
Wamuu: Yesssss..!
Kars: ...
Wamuu: I mean, what a bold decision.
Lisa Lisa: And Kars, you and I will fight one-on-one. And to the winner… goes the Stone!
RWBY and Joseph: WHAT?!
Lisa Lisa: The winner will win the Stone and the future. It will all be clear. Who will hold the Stone? Us, or you? Who will survive? The Pillar Men, or mankind?
Kars: Why you…!
Y: Damn...
R: Would it be weird to say that Lisa Lisa is the manliest person in the room?
B: I don't think so, Ruby.
Wamuu chuckled and smiled as Kars turned to him with a scowl, his body glowing rainbow.
Kars: Wamuu?
Wamuu: My apologies, but it's laughable, Lord Kars.
Y: Aww Wamuu is excited!
Kars: You've got guts, woman. Very well. We shall fight for the Stone. But don't get cocky. You have no tomorrow.
That quote made RWBY gulp. Kars was as menacing as ever.
Joseph, thinking: She just turned a dire situation into more-or-less even odds.
Joseph turned to Kars and clenched his fist, a look of determination appearing as the screen changed colors to signal the intermission.
A vampire butted in.
Vampire: Come on, are you really planning to fight us?
Joseph: Fight you? No way. I'm planning to kill you.
