In the end, this means one thing and many. When Straitzo comes looking for Joseph, Dire is with him, and neither of them is a vampire. They call him to Lisa Lisa's island for training. When Santana awakens, Dire, Straitzo, Jonathan, Caesar, and Lisa Lisa all attack him, killing him instantly. When the three pillar men arrive, the team of 5 are ready for them, as are Loggins and Messina.
"It's 7 against 3," Joseph chuckles, "The next thing you'll say is 'And yet we have power far superior to yours.'"
Esidisi whispers to him "And yet we have power far superior- WHAT?!"
Lisa Lisa begins to delegate activities. "Dire, Caesar, you take the one on the left, Joseph and Straizo, you head to the right. Loggins, Messina, the two of you provide support. That leader... is mine."
Dire and Caesar attack Esidisi, who sprays his blood, which both dodge. Dire fires a Hamon rose, grazing Esidisi's face. Caesar's Hamon bubbles surround the foe, as Dire appears behind him, kicking a Hamon rock at his head. Esidisi melts it, before lunging at Dire, veins extending, stabbing into him and pouring boiling blood into his opponent's veins. Dire cries out in pain.
"DAMNIT! HERE IT IS! MY FINAL STRIKE! THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK!" he cries, bringing his ultimate attack in in the head of the foes, pushing the full heat of his body into the strike, the last part of his stamina, his life, into a strike that kills Esidisi in a single second. As he falls, he reaches out to Caesar, picking up the aforementioned rose.
"Caesar, take this rose, and with it, go on without me. DEEP! PASS! OOOVERDRIIIIIIIIVE!" Caesar takes the rose, his energy jumping to essentially twice its original level. As tears fill his eyes, the next battle begins, an enraged Straizo attacking Wamuu.
Wamuu enters Wind Mode, his Wind Suit allowing him to outspeed the other two, leaving Straizo to activate his last tactic.
"So you have a mode granted by the Stone Mask? I do as well." he puts it on, entering his Vampiric form. However, just before he can, a hand appears in front of his face.
"Look at me, Straizo. Do not fail Dire's memory, do not make him a zombie. Whatever path you wish to take from now on, follow in the path of your disciples. Or the path Dire would wish for. You are not what you thought you were. You are not infallible, nor are they. The Pillar Men are as susceptible to damage as you or I," a mysteriously-appearing, far older Tonpetty says, "And I intend to demonstrate that. The Speedwagon foundation brought me here for a reason."
He delivers a single strike, tearing out a massive chunk of Wamuu's head, before being killed as well. As Straizo battles the foe, Tonpetty grabs the hands of Joseph Joestar, performing a Deep Pass Overdrive. Joseph, shooting up to the ultimate level, the strongest Hamon that has been seen, short of Lisa Lisa herself. Quickly attacking, he and Straizo end it together.
"Damnit." Lisa Lisa whispers, "Two deaths already? And I'm the only one who can stop this last one. What is your name, last Pillar Man?"
"Ahaha!" he quietly laughs, "I, Kars, will end you in an instant!"
He quickly appears behind Lisa Lisa, blades drawn, but Messina and Loggins attack him from behind. However, he dices the two of them to pieces instantly. Lisa quickly cries out in a fit of rage.
"MESSINA! LOGGINS! YOU FOOLS!" Through a thin veil of tears, she enters a battle stance, before Kars appears behind her
again, a blade approaching her throat. However, she twists around, striking the blade with a chop from her hand. As both leap back, the cut on Lisa's hand and the cracks on Kars' blade vanish as they heal. They leap at each other again, but Lisa ducks, her scarf wrapping around Kars as she grabs onto it. Joseph looks on in shock.
"No... could it be? That's... my technique!"
Lisa smirks. "Here it is! HAMON BEAT OVERDRIVE!"
The scarf lights up, turning a bright shade of orange as it cuts against Kars' face. Joseph pumps his fist. "Yes! That's the power of my technique!"
"Don't be so confident, Joseph." Straizo says, now far more inspired, "Kars may appear injured, but he is still a threat. Ah... if only I were young."
Kars kicks Lisa in the side of the face, his acids singing her as she flies back about 10 feet, landing by balancing on her hand. "Hmmm... I'll have to keep my distance," she says to herself. Pulling water up from a puddle on the ground, she begins to rapidly fire bubbles at Kars, the burst of them grazing his sides. Caesar looks on at this.
"Is she invincible?" he asks, "That's my technique, can she do just anything?"
Kars lunges forward again, impaling her. However, she grabs onto the blade as he does so.
"There it is, Kars. Now I have a blow you cannot dodge! METAL SILVER OVERDRIVE!" The Hamon pours into the body of Kars, his arm itself disintegrating as the Pillar Man is pushed back. Lisa Lisa pulls her arms back, ready to finish him off.
"Now, Kars! Prepare yourself for my SUNLIGHT YELLOW OVERDRIVE!"
However, Kars leaps back, setting off a flash of light to blind everyone in the room, all of them putting themselves on guard. When the light vanishes, Kars is gone. Lisa turns to the group.
"Caesar, now!" she shouts, as he uses his Bubble Lenses to cover the entire place. Meanwhile, Straizo prepares, setting his cloth on the ground, as he crouches down to channel Hamon through the floor in an attempt to locate Kars. Joseph throws a series of wool ropes charged with Hamon into the air, connecting them to the walls.
Straizo continues to concentrate. Wait... could that be... "IMPOSSIBLE! HE'S-" Kars' hand bursts up from the ground, grabbing Straizo's face and gripping it tightly, before slamming him into the floor. An audible crack resounds throughout the room, echoing in everyone's ears. Lisa looks around, a wild look in her eyes.
"Straizo... Straizo... STRAIZOOOO! DAMN YOU ALL! STRAIZO, MESSINA, LOGGINS, DIRE, TONPETTY! EVERY ONE OF YOU DIED ON MY WATCH! THIS IS MY FAULT!" she pulls her arms back, thrusting them forward into the ground. With her hands buried a foot below the earth, she channels so much Hamon into the ground that plants sprout across the entire room, even bursting through the stone segments. Kars, reduced to an amount of matter small and thin enough to resemble a skeleton, rises out of the rubble, leaning as he cocks his head back, pointing a bonelike finger at Lisa.
"You... girl... I WILL END YOU!" he cries, stumbling toward her, slowly in comparison, though he could easily move faster than light.
Lisa twists her head, tearing her hands into an upward position and almost cackling. "Girl? I've clearly trained far more than you... or, are you really that bad?"
Kars chuckles. "Ohohohoho!" he laughs, "I am going to enjoy this. My final attack! DIE!"
He lunges at Lisa, jumping through Bubble Cutters and Hamon ropes, his emaciated body lurching forward. As he lands one final strike, Lisa delivers an uppercut that sends him ten feet into the ceiling of the room. As the room begins to crumble, the three of them rush out, retrieving the Stone Mask. Together, they ride off into the sunset.
Lisa Lisa, a.k.a. Elizabeth Joestar revealed her true identity to Joseph and Caesar, before moving to America with her family and marrying a Hollywood screenwriter in 1948.
Major Rudol von Stroheim was killed leading the German retreat at the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943, "an overconfident fool."
Joseph and Caesar discovered a den of vampires after killing the vampire Wired Beck. They went on to hunt down a series of undead, leading them all the way to the end of the war, where they killed Vampire Adolf Hitler. Joseph married Suzi Q, fathering a daughter, who would later be known as Holy Kujo. And Caesar, too, had a daughter, named for the woman he respected most of all, and so she was Lisa Zeppeli. He swore to give her a better childhood than he had, free from absent fathers, Nazis, Vampires, and Pillar Men. Meanwhile, Joseph failed the first part of that within a year, but we'll save that story for another day.
