46. Black Sabbath and Slipknot~Age and Wind~

Salvi walked along with their bodies as Arthur slowly crawled away. "I've taken the lives of each of your friends, Arthur JoJo," he whispered. "You have failed. I've taken the lives of each of your agents..."

Arthur slowly crawls away but then shoots a bullet using his slingshot which went directly toward his head.

*PING*

Salvi caught it with his index and middle fingers.

"You relied too much on faith, Arthur JoJo..." he whispered. "I want one thing... I want to rid the world of cruelty and bring Heaven into this world."

"While also taking out all of humanity," said Arthur. "I've read your diary, you sick bastard."

"Then you understand what I'm trying to say," he whispered. "I, Bernardo Salvi, have a dream I believe is just. I have a dream I believe in to help my people."

"Or maybe you have a dream you believe in to help yourself," said Arthur. "I've read the books. You lost your mother because of a cruel twist of fate. You aren't doing this for your people... You're doing this for power."

Salvi smirks.

"After all, there is no such thing as cruelty in my vision. This would, in fact, benefit me," said Salvi. "Then again, what kind of leader does not benefit from the actions he had done for his own people? Christ? Martin Luther King Jr.? Lincoln? Simoun JoJo? Each of them died horrendous deaths. How can you keep ruling if you're dead, Arthur JoJo?"

"At least it's the right thing to do!" shouted Arthur.

"Once I have finished this, I will rule all known worlds like the one and only Bernardo Salvi."

"That is not your fate!" shouted Arthur. "I can sense your fate! That's not how this ends!"

"But you know it may be worse, correct? My people have faith in me."

"And my people have no faith in me... They don't even know me... But we'll find a way to knock you down!"

"Very well. You are quite the formidable debater since you're so Goddamned stubborn. I shall spare you. But when you go against me again, I will have no choice but to crush your head."

"Langit," whispered one.

"What is it, Menudo?" asked the other.

"There's someone on the ship," replied Menudo.

Langit woged into a Lamia. His face became scaly. His nose fused with his face. His teeth became sharp as his canines became retractable fangs. His ears disappeared and turned into holes. His eyes became snake-like. His tongue became like a snake's and went hissing.

"Itssss heartbeat movessss quickly..." he whispered, using his thermal reception to sense her heartbeat.

Menudo woges into a Troll. He has a greasy green screen and yellow eyes. He has black pupils with ugly misshapen teeth. He has a large pointy nose and pointy chin. He has pointy ears on the sides of his head. He loses his hair. He has long claw-like yellow nails. He spoke in a jumpy way.

"So! Ngyeheheheh!!! Those foolish Stardust Crusaders have infiltrated our boat! No matter! BLACK SABBATH!!!"

Kariel and Jessica walked around on the ship.

Jessica's feet are quite wet because of the ocean.

Kariel isn't wet, however.

"Ate Jessica! We have to find out how we can kill those guys!" whispered Kariel. "I know! I'll use my Stand to redirect my bullet into between their eyes!

Jessica?"

Kariel turns to her and sees that she had gotten old.

"Ate Jessica?!" he asked as she fell to the ground.

"Whoa, whoa!" he shouted.

Kariel prepared his bullet and shoots at the enemy. "YOU MONSTERS!!!"

*click*

*BANG BANG BANG*

The bullets all miss the two of them for some reason.

"Huh!?" asked Kariel to himself. "Something moved my bullets... It felt like the wind."

"Yo!" shouted Menudo. "Where did those bullets come from, ngyehehehe?"

"Probably the two Crusssadersss... But from where?" asked Langit as he hissed.

Kariel cocks his gun again.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG*

His bullets end up missing again and shoot the wall.

"Ngyehehehe!" laughed Menudo. "They're in this corridor! They're in the next hall..."

"I will have to use my wind ability ssseriousssly..." he said. He then hissed out some air as it turns into a tornado. Kariel, upon seeing the tornado, immediately put his gun in his holster, grabbed Jessica, and ran away.

"Jeez... I hate being a Grimm!" shouted Kariel, running. "I have to find out what's making Jessica old!"

"JoJo!" shouted a voice. "I know it'sss you! I could sssenssse your tainted Grimm blood..." he hissed as his tongue twisted for a short second.

He chased after Kariel.

*BANG BANG*

*shoo*

The wind whistled as the bullets fell to the floor.

Kariel ran to the next corridor as his shoes squeaked.

"Okay... so bullets don't work... How about gravity?!" asked Kariel. "TWINKLE!!! ACT 2!!!"

ACT 2 emerged from his body as he immediately floated upward.

Kariel flew Jessica away as he put her on the main deck. Kariel began to put Spin around his body and pointed his gun toward them and curving the bullet toward him. He then created a ball of wind around him and became impervious to Kariel's attacks. Kariel then leaped, reloaded, and shot at him over and over, but Langit moves swiftly, jumping, dodging, and spinning midair. The two opponents fly around as they fought each other.

Kariel then calls on ACT 2 to try and trap him on the floor of the ship, but Langit simply dodged the attack using his Stand once again. He then sent more tornados as Kariel flew up and away from these whirling weapons of destruction.

Kariel then shot at the Lamia thrice, but he hissed and shot blasts of wind at him. He then creates a large wheel of wind and spun toward Kariel.

Langit then grabs some water using a ball of wind and splashes it into Kariel's face.

Kariel, frustrated, immediately tried to punch him.

"ORA!!!" shouted Kariel.

With Langit fearing what Kariel might do, Langit prepares his ultimate attack.

But...

Something went wrong for Kariel...

Kariel began to age as well.

"Kariel!" shouted All-Star.

Kariel began to age as Langit took out the air from Kariel's and Jessica's lungs. Suffocating, Kariel fell to the ground in pain.

"Kariel! *gasp*" shouted All-Star.

"I now know how your ability... *gasp*... works..." she whispered. "You hurt my friend's brother... and that really pisses me off... *gasp*..."

She then entered the Speed Force and immediately took a breath in slowed-down time.

"That's better," she whispered, gasping for breath. "I, Jessica Polnareff, will protect this idiot kid."

"Ah... you... You're the one who betrayed usss and was raped by our Lord... SSSSalvi..." Langit whispered. "Ssservesss you right..." he wagged his tongue.

"Maybe I do deserve it... Just because of everything I've done..." said Jessica, bowing her head.

"No, you don't..."

Before...

Jessica looked outside on the balcony.

"Hey..." said Miguel, standing beside her.

"Hey..." said Jessica.

"My dad told me to make things up with you," he said.

The two stare at the horizon.

Miguel turns around.

"Alright. That's good enough."

"Wait," she said. She hadn't moved at all. Miguel turned back to her.

"After... everything I've done to you... Maybe I do deserve being raped by Salvi..." she whispered.

"No you don't..." said Miguel. "No one deserves to be violated without consent."

"But I bullied you... I wanted you... I didn't deserve you... and I still stubbornly tried to take you... To mold you into something I wanted..."

"Jessica... you're my friend," he sighed. "I would really appreciate it if my friend didn't say that you deserved to be used.You remember why I liked you, right?You didn't care about what people thought about you... You didn't seem to care about the rest of the world where I was trained my whole life to be prepared for what's to come..."

"You loved me because I was ignorant?!" asked Jessica.

"Ignorance is bliss," he said. "I could appreciate people who don't have to care about the world... Who could live peacefully... But I didn't want that at the time... For some reason, I'm attracted to people who act like children and ignore the rest of the world... I thought 'Opposites Attract! She should be with me because while I care about people, she doesn't!' Now I understand why you hate people... After all those years of bullying and five years of bat-shit crazy adventures on an island of the damned... it really changed my perspective."

"So you don't want to save the world?" asked Jessica.

"I did... I used to want to be a Superhero..." said Miguel. "I keep telling myself I still do... But after everything on that island... after lying to myself that everything is still okay... Now that I'm forced to do it... I can't bring myself to love what I'm doing... I thought being a Superhero was a peaceful life because these heroes are supposed to bring hope to the world... I was completely wrong... I wished for fate to give this to me... But no... it's trash. Now I have to be a Superhero..."

The two stare at the horizon silently.

"You don't love me anymore, because-?"

"You're a terrible person, Jessica," said Miguel. "I stopped liking your type because you're a terrible person."

"To be honest, I'm a maniac," said Jessica. "I think you have a thing for maniacs."

"Hm," said Miguel. "At this point..."

She giggles.

"I guess I didn't deserve it."

Now...

"I guess... I didn't deserve it."

(theme begins)

Jessica entered her armor. She vibrates her feet, drying them completely. She creates afterimages to confuse her opponents.

"Water is the thing making us old," said Jessica. "The wetter the object around you, the older it becomes, right? At least... if your Stand touches it."

His Stand, a tiny black lizard with violet stripes and belly with wheels for legs and a bird-like beak with two dragon-like horns, appears from behind him. It squawks.

"Black Sabbath!" he shouted. "You are absolutely correct, JESSICA POLNAREFF!!!"

"My Sssstand meanwhile is a tiny colony that movessss the wind around you..." he hissed.

Jessica Polnareff's Stand armors her as she charges at the two, but he blows a large blast of wind toward Jessica.

"HORA HORA HORA!!!" shouted Silver Chariot, cutting the wind in half.

"Huh!?" asked Langit. He creates a ball of wind around him at massive speeds.

She ran toward Kariel, but he immediately blasted her away.

Her armor is slightly scathed by this.

"Tch-!" she whispered. She then slashed her rapier toward him over and over again.

"I may not be the perfect person... But Miguel still allowed me to stay in his team!" she shouted. "Despite everything I've done to him, he still respected me enough to forgive me.Therefore... I AM GRATEFUL!!!"

Silver Chariot manages to stab Black Sabbath in the eye.

Tornadoes appear as she lunges her rapier then wags it, slicing the tornadoes to pieces.

"HORA HORA HORA!!!" shouted Silver Chariot, as it stabs Menudo in the chest.

He coughs blood as Jessica twists her rapier in his chest.

"You people only care about your own race... But you don't care about what's right!" shouted Jessica. "AND I'M GUESSING THAT THIS IS WHAT MIGUEL WANTED FOR ME!!!"

*STAB*

Jessica looks down and sees that a blade-shaped wind stabbed her in the leg.

"H-Huh?"

The wind turned into a blade it then sliced her armor once again.

Menudo then grabs Kariel's gun and points to his head.

She coughs blood. She zooms backward.

"No!" she shouted.

*BANG*

*SPLAT*

(theme ends)

"Kariel!" cried All-Star ACT 1, as it is revealed that she curved the bullet backward strong enough to avoid hitting his brain matter. Kariel's skull bleeds with a hole open in it.

"It's okay... Twinkle..." he gasped as he trembled on the ground. "I've... failed my Kuya... It's okay..."

ACT 1 then began to grow.

"Twinkle?" asked Kariel, slowly and still gasping.

"We need to get out of their ranges..." she said. "WE NEED TO-!!!"

*doom*

She and Kariel disappeared.

"Where'd The Ranger go?" asked Menudo, turning around.

"YOU LOST HIM!!!?" hissed Langit.

Jessica trembled in rage.

"I'll kill the two of you," she whispered.

"EVEN IF IT MEANS I'LL DIE!!!"

Suddenly, a hand with a gun emerged from a portal behind Menudo.

*BANG*

*SPLAT*

Menudo knelt on the ground and fell face-flat.

"MENUDO!!!" shouted Langit, as he grabbed his head and hugged it.

"No, no, no, no, no! NO!!!" he shouted, sobbing. "OH MY GOD!!!"

Menudo's blood puddled on his hands and legs.

"OH MY GOD!!! NO!!!" he sobbed.

"I'm really sorry, Aang the Last Airbender," Kariel said with a now serious and terrifying voice. Unlike before, he is much calmer and more stoic.

Now, behind him is a yellow mannequin-like humanoid female. She has a large bust, a curvy body, and a humanoid head. She has normal human eyes with a nose, ears, and mouth. She has blue hair with a blue star hidden on her forehead that is covered by her hair. Her left eye is covered by her hair. She wore a red crop top with blue ripped jeans. She has high-heel slippers. Also, she has a blue short vest that is above her belly.

"Thanks, Twinkle," he smiled.

"Ugh..." she said as she posed and put. "What...ever! Stop calling me that!"

"Young lady, I don't like that tone on me!" shouted Kariel.

"Ugh! Stop talking!" she shouted, grabbing her hair. "Get off my back, D-!!! KARIEL!!!"

"After this, you're grounded," said Kariel. "Fine... All-Star ACT 3!!!"

(theme begins)

Fourteen portals came out as each of the bullets emerged from seven of them.

Each of the bullets went all around him and shot him all over.

Kariel then enters another portal and portals out again. He dodged the wind blasts and wind blades Langit continued to shoot at Kariel.

Kariel simply kept on shooting toward the two. Langit, however, blew the bullets away. The bullets sprayed like a fountain as Kariel's amazing speed allows him to shoot Langit several more times.

"KARIEL!!!" shouted Langit. "STOP DISAPPEARING AND FACE ME LIKE A MAN!!!"

"Very well," said Kariel, as he emerged from the last portal. "Stand-Off."

Kariel now stood before Langit. He prepares his gun on his holster, cocking it. He disables ACT 3 as All-Star returns to her first ACT.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you," said Kariel. "I'm going to enjoy putting lead in your and slicing up your body and feeding them to sharks."

"You killed my friend..." whispered Langit.

"Your friend tried to kill mine," said Kariel. "That's why you have to die. I'm going to stride on your corpses..."

Jessica lay on the ground, still greatly injured by the attack. "I am not liking this side of you, Kariel. Well... I kinda do... But you're my ex-crush's brother, so that's kinda weird-..."

"Shut up," said Kariel as he prepared his gun.

Suddenly, a wind blade appeared from behind Langit and spun toward Kariel's head.

*BANG*

The bullet manages to shoot through the wind blade. The wind blade then splits apart and went around Kariel's face.

*SPLAT*

(theme ends)

"I put the wind around my body by removing the gravity around my body," said Kariel. Kariel is revealed to be millimeters off the ground. "Your wind is made of particles and a colony Stand. All particles in this world have gravity."

Langit falls to the ground, dead.

Kariel sighs. "Great..."
