Luna witnessed the statue of Kars, wings and flowers gracing his body, tentacles draped over his shoulders like a shawl, his horns and Shining Sabers looked to be made of the stars in space above. This new change, in both size and design, unnerved her more than anything at this moment.
"We shall ask once more! What, is, that!?"
"I. T. O. L. D. Y. O. U. H. E. S. B. E. Y. O. N. D. M. Y. C. O. N. T. R. O. L. B. U. T. H. I. S. G. O. A. L. S. A. R. E. A. L. S. O. M. I. N. E. A. T. T. H. I. S. M. O. M. E. N. T."
"Was anything under your control? We have many reasons to believe you are bluffing about your power!"
"P. R. O. V. E. I. T."
"We could fire another bolt, but We shall save our friend first!"
She looked down on the board screen, the scene changing to JoJo carrying Stroheim who was in half, and Pinkie walking away from a volcanic opening. Unaware of a large crack, and a hand with blade appendage swinging, a Bright Saber aimed for Pinkie. Luna's eyes widened as she stomped her hooves onto the board.
"PINKIE, BEHIND YOU!"
To her surprise JoJo turned and saw the hand and reached out to push Pinkie out of the way.
My Little Pony: Friendship is a Bizarre Adventure
Part 2: ~Battle Festivity~
Episode VIII: The Climatic Finish, The Final Ripple!
Kars raised himself up with his legs alone. Everyone was on edge. Then Stroheim shook out of his shock.
"L-Look! His shoulder hasn't healed from the oiled cannon ball! Ultimate Being my ass! We can still kill hiiiiim!"
But Kars didn't pay them any attention. In fact he looked off in the distance, two owls and a squirrel around a tree were nearby. Smokey noticed this and scratched his head confused.
"What's he doing? Isn't he gonna do someth-th-tH- THE HOLY FUCK!?"
Kars' hand began to morph into something else, a squirrel, and leapt off his body. Landing on his other shoulder and rubbing against his cheek lovingly. It leapt away from him and made it's way to the other squirrel both interacting with each other positively. Pinkie chuckled at the sight.
"H-Hehe. Maybe he's just a cute furball on the inside?"
"It's kinda cute actua-"
JoJo shouted, drowning Smokey out as he saw the true intentions.
"Everyone get back! That's no passive squirrel!"
The squirrel turned on a dime and began to eat away at the other in a savage manner. It grew insect like mandibles with horrible fangs, the face stretched terribly. It gave a small screech and barreled into and through Stroheim's metallic stomach and into a soldier behind him. Carving it's way up to his head. It leapt beck to Kars' stump and turned into a flower, than into a butterfly. Just then, Soul hobbled between the two opposing forces, holding her arms out to shield Kars from them.
"... My dear, loyal to me in the end. You've suffered enough. You've long earned your freedom, Adagio."
Her pupils began to brighten and her irises started to protrude, the humans bracing themselves for an all too familiar attack, yet Kars covered her eyes.
"We've done our part, they're insignificant to us now... Except those two."
Kars then threw Adagio aside, almost uncaringly as he began to walk closer, his gaze on JoJo and Pinkie.
"T-The Sun! The Sun's rising! That'll end them both!"
However, as beautiful the shine was, as radiant it's sunlight graced the Earth, shimmering on the crystals... Kars bathed in it's light and laughed. Adagio protected by a small hill tall enough to cover her from the sunlight, just as Kars intended.
"The Ultimate Lifeform embodies all living things in their sheer perfected state. The gathering of the whole living world. Even that of the stars above us. Finally, finally I HAVE TAMED THE SUN ITSELF!"
Speedwagon remembered back then. Years ago at the defeat of Dio. 'I don't think anything can top this, not in my lifetime at least.' It hit him harder than Jonathan's kick from long ago.
"Had I known I'd live to see such evil, something to make Dio look second rate, I would've ended myself long ago! There's- There's no hope! Not even Hamon can hurt him! He's Immortal, Unkillable! This is the birth of the Ultimate Being!"
"I was too rash! This is all my fauuuuult! I was the one who gave him the chance to put it on! DAMMIT!"
"I-Is there really no way to win now, a-are we doomed to just end up as his food!?"
"No! There's a way to beat him!"
"We've got one final trick!"
Everyone looked to the young warriors in awe. A plan even now as they faced the epitome as evil as they knew it. JoJo gave Lisa Lisa to Speedwagon as Pinkie pointed at Kars.
"That's right! We've been saving this as a last resort!"
"It's never failed us yet!"
"JoJo... Pinkie, you two don't mean-"
"Listen up everyone! You just have to follow my lead and do this on your own!"
"Whatever this crazy plan is, you can count me in on it!"
They chuckled and smirked before turning on a heel, JoJo grabbing the Red Stone from the ground as they both ran.
"WE GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"
"AAAAAH I KNEW YOU TWO WERE GONNA DO THAT!"
"HAAAAAA ! ! ! ! ! !"
Kars began to grow feathers and wing spans, his Sabers becoming talons, his arms becoming wings.
"As I've stated before! Hamon, Humans, Vampires, ALL ARE BELOW ME AND NO LONGER CONCERN ME! But you two... In the memory of Wham and ACDC, the pain caused to my own children, JOJO! PINKIE! I SHALL CELEBRATE MY BIRTH WITH YOUR DEATH!"
"Guys, he's catching up!"
"S-Shut up Smokey I'm thinking!"
"We haven't done this kinda thing since New York! It's nice to have the gang back together!"
"Why you even chasing after us, Smokey?! He's after us, not you!"
"That's because I've got something important to tell you about-"
"SHIT! He's right above us!"
"We'll see you later Smokey, that's a Pinkie Promise!"
"Wait you two- WAIT!"
He stopped at a steep cliff, both of his friends leaping over and disappearing from sight. Kars grinned and flew over, only to barely escape the blades of an airplane coming straight up into the sky.
"Damn, I missed, but that's probably for the better."
"With this little machine, we'll see who's really going to win this fight, Kars!"
"A Useless Effort!"
Even as he dodged the propellers, the guns were now in front of him, firing powerful rounds. However, Kars hardened his wings with an armadillo like shell with a strange grease on the surface, not only deflecting the bullets, but also shooting the feathers inside the plane. Crashing into the windows and hull of the plane, JoJo and Pinkie were merely grazed by the attack.
"Gah! He used those feathers like knives!"
"But we're in this plane, so hurry up and take us high in the air already!"
"I'm on it, I'm on it!"
Flying off with a head start on Kars, they found a map on the plan on the continent. The radio turned on and Speedwagon's voice was heard from the other side and hared the headset.
"JoJo, Pinkie Pie, are you there Please, respond."
"Sup, Uncle!"
"Hiya Mr. Speedwagon!
"Oh thank God, you're both still alive! Just keep the radio on! The Nazi's and I have come up with a crazy plan! You two are still there, yes?"
"Yeah, but..."
"We've already got this one."
"What!?
"He says he's the most perfect being on Earth, right?"
"Then maybe that very same Earth will deal with him for us!"
"We're headed to a newfound island with an active volcano near Italy. Magma, the most powerful energy on the planet as we know it, not even he should be able stand against it!"
"NO! You don't have to take such risks! That can only end with-"
"Hey is that island right there?"
"Look at that! This thing really is something."
"JOJO! Lisa Lisa is your mother!"
"Lisa Lisa is my brother? The hell-"
"Hey what's that sound?"
As Pinkie looked around she felt something tugging on her hair, reaching back she felt something scaly. Even JoJo turned around.
"What the hell is- Hey! There's something chewing on your ha- GAH!"
Piranhas began to eat away at her hair and his shoulder. Soon they began to be eating the whole plane from inside.
"Holy Shit, Jesus Christ, How The Fuck Do I Fly This Thing With These Goddamn Piranhas Tearing At My Skin!?" "They're In My Hair And Chewing My Leg Get Them Off, Get Them Off, Get Them Off, This Is The Worst Day Ever!"
JoJo looked back again seeing the fish eating up one of the last parachutes.
"Goddammit we're gonna be- Hey where'd the piranhas go?!"
"I can't believe they actua- JoJo the propeller. JOJO, THE PROPELLER!"
"NO FUCKING WAY!"
The propeller on the left side of the plane had been seized by tentacles, with it blowing up, shrapnel's of metal and glass flew and cut them badly. Pinkie grabbed the last parachute and opened the door. Kars closing in on the plane found his target floating down.
"That parachute is like a spider web, you two have only sealed your fate, now I'll calmly take you both down!"
Just as he was about to cut them down he saw not only were they not human, but they were poorly taped together dummies with funny faces drawn on.
"What-"
"GET FUCKED YOU PURPLE AZTECAN TWAT!"
Hearing JoJo's rage filled voice he turned only to get slammed by the plane nose first.
"This was our plan from the beginning!"
"To take you with us into that very volcano!"
"You think this will stop me!? This body of mine, this mind of mine, all of my power cannot be contained by a mere volcano! I am utterly perfect, I am FABULOU-"
His throat had been pinned to the plane by a metallic arm. Shot by Stroheim, who had hid inside the float being carried by the plane.
"I know it's ironic that this comes from me but, Kars, YOU TALK TOO MUCH!"
"Stroheim!? How'd you get there?!"
"You said to, and I quote, 'Get The Fuck Out Here, end quote. I merely followed you here, so that I can end this monster! Now both of you jump the plane!"
"JUMP!? I'm crazy but that's-"
"I SAID JUMP YOU LUNATICS!"
They did at the last possible moment, free falling in the air as the plane crashed into an opening large enough for the plane to go through. Stroheim grabbed both JoJo and Pinkie and held them close as he took the full force of the fall, his legs completely destroyed. Flying from his grip the two tumbled on the ground. The Element of Harmon and shard of the portal fell from Pinkie's pocket. She would have never noticed had the light of the Sun reflected in her eyes. She could barely stand up, no more Hamon to give her strength. She used everything she had in defeating Adagio. Thankfully JoJo grabbed the items and pocketed them before helping her up.
"I've never seen you this tired, you alright?"
"I'm fine! That was, too close."
"But did we do it? Is Kars in the magma!?"
JoJo looked over the opening, and saw him, Kars being melted alive. Attempting to make a shell, but it too was being destroyed by the heat alone.
"W-WE DID IT! He can't regenerate fast enough!"
"Great, now let's get off this rock and closer to the edge! We may be able to wait out the eruption if we find the right spot!"
"Alright, I'll carry ya. C'mon, we may make it to that pie festival after all!"
"Hehehe, yeah!"
They began walking away, conserving their energy. However JoJo felt a strange warmth in his pockets. He took out the source, the shard Pinkie had since the first day they met. It was showing a dark blue alicorn with an scared expression.
"PINKIE, BEHIND YOU!"
"Huh?"
JoJo turned just in time to see a strange hand come out of the cracks behind them, without a second thought, he pushed her as hard as he could. A single moment later and it would have been her head. Instead, JoJo sacrificed his entire arm, shoulder to fingertips. Cut away by a slash of the Shining Saber. Kars leapt from the crack as his shell broke apart. He was fully healed and unscathed. JoJo screamed as the blood poured out like a waterfall, the arm landing next to Pinkie. Stroheim was too shocked at it all, it happened so fast.
"God... He truly is a god... There's nothing we can do, BUT SUBMIT!"
"Hehehehe~! JoJo, what was that now? I could have sworn you said something. Pinkie Pie, you'll next say, 'He didn't but I've got an earful for you!'"
"He didn't but I've got an earful for you!"
She lunged with a Hamon charged kick, but Kars turned and countered by smashing her knee with his own and his elbow, both glowing radiantly with a familiar power.
"SEE HOW I PLAY YOU!?"
Her eyes widened as Kars threw her next to JoJo, flicking a hair behind his ear as if all he did was take out the trash.
"M-My leg! It's, it's melting!?"
"Wh-What?"
"That can't be! It's like he used... Used-"
"YES~! INDEED IT WAS HAMON, YOU FOOLS! I embody every single living thing in all the world and more! Do you really think Hamon was beyond me!? And it looks like mine is several times powerful, hundred times potent!"
"Hundred times more!? It's like being burn by the Sun... Her skin is being melted, then evaporates slowly!"
"P-Pinkie! G-Get outta here with Stroheim, you can go without me!"
"And leave you with him? I don't think so! W-We've done almost everything together."
"And now you'll both die together. Ah, but JoJo, Pinkie. Seeing you like this brings me great joy. So, what was that earful you were to tell me?"
"Well-"
Attempting to stand she only fell on her wound, crying out in sheer agony, a pleasure filled hum coming from the Pillar Man's throat.
"Mhn~! An excellent lecture. Ah, there it is... That famous lack of life those eyes."
Stroheim didn't understand at first, but then he looked at the two. Indeed their eyes had been faded. No regret, no more life, simply accepting of their fate. Pinkie Pie hovered over JoJo, looking at the two jewels in his hand. The Red Stone and Element of Harmony.
"Sorry everyone, looks like, I couldn't do it."
"... I guess, this is it."
Kars focused his breathing, his entire body glowing several bright colors, his glee showing in every aspect of his movements as he raised a hand for the final strike.
"This kind of breathing, to send Ripple warriors such as yourselves to death with your very technique, IT TRULY IS A POETIC WEAPON!"
He thrust his hand down, aiming to go through her head and his chest, but Pinkie and JoJo, held up the jewels in some form of last defense. Pinkie holding up the Red Stone as JoJo held up the Element. The strike Kars made on the Red Stone caused a powerful laser to shoot straight into the Element that absorbed the entire force. Then, an even stronger beam fired from the other side and into the ground. Kars was force back and stood in awe. The two didn't know at the time, but the experience they've had in their lives, their bodies and soul refused to just give up! Without thinking they took action!
"Th-That's why he wanted that item!? IT'S STRONGER THAN THE RED STONE OF AJA!?"
"I-I never knew it could do that!"
That moment, that volcano awakened once more, blowing the chunk of rock into the sky, with Pinkie, JoJo, and Kars still standing on it. As they flew up Kars found it difficult to keep his balance but smirked.
"This will also do! From even this height, you'll both crash into the ground like stain! I'll just use my wings to fly out of harms way! Farewell you foo-"
He was stopped by JoJo's severed arm flying right into his throat and stopping him in the air briefly. JoJo and Pinkie knew what to do at this moment.
"That's the power of Earth Kars, it sent my arm up here to stop you, just as planned!"
"By the way, you said Ripple earlier, when it's actually HAMON! And here's a going away present! Our last prediction for you!"
"Next you'll say, 'Did you two plan this as well!?', exactly!" "Next you'll say, 'Did you two plan this as well!?', exactly!"
"How do you two always kno-
That was it! This distraction was his folly, and would be his end! Scalding hot rocks he could otherwise dodge struck him, sending him even higher in the air! There was nothing he could do now!
"DID YOU TWO PLAN THIS AS WELL!?"
"You're goddamn right we did!"
"We played you from the start at the mansion!"
"We made sure to take victory from you right as it was in your grasp!"
"We planned this, From The Very Beginning!" "We planned this, From The Very Beginning!"
Kars roared angrily as the rock began to descend, the two laughing at his twisted expression.
"Oh man, I'm so glad he heard that."
"Pinkie, we really are unkillable."
"Don't say that so soon, we've still got to land..."
They passed out smiling coming back down into the Earth. Stroheim couldn't find them anywhere on the island, even as Speedwagon and the Nazi unit came to the rescue. The two heroes were labeled dead. Kars, floating in space, his body powerful enough to withstand the pressure in space and began to panic.
"UUUURREEEY! ! ! Calm down, just look for the Earth! There! I'll just use the air in my body to push myself back! If they planned this far ahead, they'll still be alive! I'll- I'l- What!?"
Kars noticed his body became stiffer and stiffer by the second, colder, and soon even his vision was becoming blurry.
"NO! NO! THE ICE! THE COLD SPACE! I-I CAN'T! I CAN'T GO BACK! NNNNNNOOOOOOAAAAAAAA-"
Kars became a being of half fauna half mineral. Undying, he wandered the reaches of space. Only able to think of the desire of the sweet release of death, Kars, eventually stopped thinking. In a few months in a graveyard in New York, a funeral was being held in their memory. Erina, Speedwagon, Smokey, Messina, even Lisa Lisa, Sonata, and Aria attended. As the priest finished, they stayed just a little longer before Speedwagon sighed.
"Erina. It's not good for you to be in the cold."
"Just a little longer... Please."
"... As you wish."
Smokey placed the last flower on the foot of the gravestones and shed a tear.
"I only knew you guys almost a year, but it's felt like forever. I'll never forget your crazy antics."
Erina sniffled and wondered why, only to have two hands cover her eyes and two voices she'd thought she'd never hear again.
"Guess who's back~?"
"Hiya guys, we're back from vacation!"
Everyone turned around, wide eyed and even slack jawed for Smokey. There they were, grinning and full of life, casually standing there in a synchronized pose. Pinkie wearing both the Red Stone and Element of Harmony on a necklace.
"JOJO?! PINKIE!?"
"AAAAAH! YOU'RE ALIVE!?"
"Well duh? Whose funeral is it? Hope we're not being disrespectful!"
"I'm sure it must have been someone special, but we already went to Caesar's, is this one Loggins?"
"Who knows, but you guys look like you've seen a ghost! Must be this wicked new arm I've got. It's a little dull looking but with a paint job it should fit me perfectly!"
They looked at the tombstones before being surprised themselves.
"Hey what's the big idea!?"
"How could you guys not know what year I was born!?"
"Something isn't right here at all! Didn't you guys get my telegram?"
Speedwagon shook his head from the shock and scratched his head.
"No! We were waiting for one for weeks! Where the devil have you two been!?"
"Italy. Healing up thanks to Suzy Q and taking it easy. Oh hey guys!"
Pinkie went over and lifted the two Pillar Men into the air with a hug.
"Aww, you guys came to my funeral?"
"We are apparently friends."
"Adagio would be here but, she still hates you. We got her a new jaw at least!"
"Sounds about right, glad to hear nothing's changed!"
Suzy Q came over with an umbrella and a gold band on her ring finger.
"JoJo~! You both are still recovering, don't catch a cold!"
"Suzy! You said you'd take care of the telegram, but Uncle Speedwagon here just told me they never got it!"
"Telegram?"
"Y-You didn't forget did you!?"
"Well... With all the excitement, you coming back and us marrying I-"
She stopped as she saw the towering man's mechanical arm wiggle, clicking clacking with each joint.
"O-Oh there's no need for the clicky clacky fingers now, dear... I NEVER SENT IT!"
"GAH! Oh No! You had one job woman, ONE JOB!"
He chased her around the graveyard as everyone smiled. It seemed everything ended on a good note. Pinkie noticed a certain warmth and pulled out the shard.
"I think I've got to go now guys. Take care!"
"Whha- Just like that? You're gonna up and leave?"
"Psh! JoJo you know me, I'll be there for my friends when I need em! Right now my friends back home need me. I'll visit you though, even if you're all old and wrinkly, I'll be sure to visit you!"
She turned on a heel with JoJo rolling his eyes and Suzy Q giggling.
"Not so funny when someone uses that line on you, huh?"
"Ah, shuddap."
Pinkie vanished from the screen in a bright light, her piece returning to her pony form. However Luna couldn't feign her princess stature anymore and faltered as she turned to leave.
"I-I've won. And soon we'll deal with you. In fact..."
She turned to fire one last bolt at the figure, only for a portal to appear before them, taking the blast and redirecting it back to her. She cursed herself, something inside her acted that way, she didn't mean to act so carelessly.
"Miss you've got to-"
"H. E. R. E. I. S. Y. O. U. R. P. R. O. O. F!"
A hand, she didn't see before that was hiding in the darkness of the realm, swept her up and began to crush her with an amazing strength. And then they spoke, a masculine male voice filled with hate, as if they were whispering in her ear.
"I am the history of the world lost by the flow of time, unwritten and forgotten, unrecognized by everyone. I am the accumulation of both the dark and light side of Time. It is not here, but even outside, I am a god. And you are all a mere pawn, in my game, Nightmare Moon."
"What!?"
With a final squeeze everything became dark. She woke up in a large dark room, a decrepit place with several mirrors and a strangely regal bed.
"What did that being do? Where are we?"
She attempted to get up but then noticed. She had changed just like the Mane Six. Letting out a loud gasp, she could only stare at herself as she attempted to stand. Her clothes were strange, dark blue Arabian pants with her cutie mark design on the left leg, strange golden anklet rings and azure blue sandals, thin black sleeves that covered her arms alone and a black tight shirt with a midriff. On the back was a crescent moon. Her crown was still adorned on her head, and to her surprise and pleasure, so did her horn. Yet her wings were gone. She was still having trouble getting used to her legs and fell over, caught by a pair of strong arms.
"So, you're awake at last."
"Who's there!"
"Just a friend, or one I would like to be. You collapsed in front of my mansion in the middle of the night, had I not been out for a stroll, who knows what could have happened."
The stranger helped her up, she couldn't see his face in the darkness, nor his head. She barely could see the mirror behind him, but saw the Joestar birthmark. She felt at ease then, to her it made sense. A Joestar taking a stranger in was natural for them. There was something odd about him that she couldn't quite pick out yet.
"We- I would like to thank you for your kindness, but where are we? I mean, what is the year?"
"Nineteen eighty three. You must be in a hurry of some kind. I'll give you- some-"
"If you don't mind... I don't have anywhere to go. It's not my place to ask but, may I stay here for the time being?"
"Of course, stay as long as you like. I placed a meal earlier on the dresser next to the bed. It should still be warm."
"Thank you."
He left, a strange alluring feel coming from him, his very voice soothed her. She wanted to get closer to him, but at the same time, run from him. Something about him was familiar but it alluded her. She looked over to her meal, however she wasn't hungry, and thus decided to leave it for now. A chalice was there with a strange red liquid. Remembering the wine she had saw in Italy she decided to take a small sip, then a large gulp.
"What a marvelous flavor! I didn't think it would taste so divine!"
"Indeed..."
She snapped behind her, tired of all the whispers today. Nothing was there but her reflections in the mirrors. But as she turned to look forward to set the chalice down she dropped it to see the one reflection that was different.
"Did you think, I would ever let you go? Did you think I would ever let you free? If you did, it's my pleasure to state, you'll never be free of me."
"You! All you that are is a face in a mirror! I close my eyes, and you disappear!"
"I'm what you face when you look in the mirror, long as you live I shall still be here!"
"All that you are is a face of a nightmare, all that you are is dying scream, I have nothing to fear from these feeble demon dreams."
The glass then shattered, the hand flew out and grabbed her, lifting her up from the ground.
"This is not a dream my dear, and it will never end! This Night is the one that shall go on! I am here to stay no matter what you may pretend! And I'll flourish long after you're gone."
On a reflex, Luna lifted a knee to her attackers nose, forcing her to let go as she stumbled back. Legs shaking from fear, anger, and the lack of learning oh how to balance her weight.
"Soon you shall fade and my mind will be clear, you have no choice but lose control!"
"Oh but I say, I live deep inside you, each moment now I devour your soul!"
"I won't return to your freakish nature, I shall be better lest you dance with death, and I shall be free as you breathe your final breath!"
With a cackle she sauntered over as the mirrors began to change, images of Ponyville, Equestria being ruled by Nightmare Moon. Images of Celestia sealed in the moon. Reflections of the horror filled faces of the Mane Six who haven't returned, dead and crippled, wounded and defiled. She circled her, running her hair through her fingers, even as Luna swiped at her with her nails.
"I Live Inside You, Forever!"
"No!"
"This Darkness, It Stands By My Side!"
"NO!"
"And I Know, Now And Forever, They'll Never Be Able To Separate Luna From Night!"
A bright light flashed in the room as almost all the mirrors broke apart.
"Can't you see it's-"
Luna on her knees hugging herself saw a shard of glass large enough to be used as a knife. Grabbing it she stood and looked around for her inner demon.
"It's over now! Time to die!"
"No not I, only you!"
"If I die... You Die Too!"
She raised the knife but her other hand grabbed the wrist, out of her control, it threw the glass away.
"You'll Die, Me? I'll Be You!"
"Damn you Night! SET ME FREE!"
"Can't You See?"
Once more without her control she looked to the last remaining mirror. Her left eye had changed, to a menacing slit pupil.
"YOU ARE ME!"
"NO! Deep Inside-"
"I Am You, You Are Night!"
With all the willpower she could muster, Luna stood up and looked dead into the mirror, determined to win this battle of the mind.
"No! Never! I AM STRONGER!"
"Yes, Forever, Stronger With Me As Your Better!"
"How!? WHY!? No Matter! You can take all your deeds and rot at the darkest pits of Tartarus!"
"I'll See You There, Princess Luna!"
"NO! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! N-"
She stopped as someone placed a hand on her shoulder, her body now still as she was pulled into a slow hug.
"What happened? Who did this to you?"
"I... I..."
She didn't notice, blood on her knuckles and head, she looked around at the smashed and ruined room.
"I... I don't know..."
"... Oh, dear girl. What have you gone through to make you like this? You needn't lie to me, when I heard the glass break I came in. You were throwing yourself around, screaming at the air."
"..."
"But I won't throw you out. You need help, and if this isn't fate, I wouldn't know what else would it be."
"You are proficient in the mind?"
"Yes, years and years of studies. You needn't worry for a thing, this is for helping you alone. After all, that's what friends are for."
She looked up at him, thinking to herself how amazing this was, to witness a Joestar's kindness first hand in person. Even as she feared the worst, something about the man simply put her in a state of ease she nearly forgotten.
"W-Who are you?"
"I am your best friend."
He lead her away, to take care of her wounds and place her in his own room. As he left the door she uttered a goodnight, to which he responded with one himself. For a moment, she could have sworn on her horn, there was a strange mark on his neck.
End of Part 2
