106. Vacanze a Napoli Part II ~Antonio Trussardini~...

"Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord... I send a pestilence and plague into your house, into your bed, into your streams, into your streets, into your drink, into your bread...

Upon your cattle, on your sheep, upon your oxen in your field, into your dreams, into your sleep until you break, until you yield...

'I send the swarm, I send the horde,' thus saith the Lord."

*craaaaack craaaaack*

*splat*

The creature chewed on some human bone, muscle, and fat of a mother and her child.

*tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik*

Strange bones protruding from his backside tick and click like a motor similar to an Aswang's tick.

The creature changed form into a Jorogumo to suck the blood on the ground. The creature transforms back into its original form.

"What am I? I am. What am I? I am. What am I? I am that I am."

"Wrry..."

Meanwhile...

"Lucifer Morningstar..." said Princess Bubblegum, typing into a computer. "The child of the stars... I used his genetic material along with two opponents of Josuke's to create... this thing... Whatever the hell this thing is. I also added lizard and dragonfly genes and... I took an arrowhead from Miguel's and had it sink into its body...He is currently in his nymph form. I need them to take him out. Before he becomes one of the New Gods."

Meanwhile...

"Are we there yet?" asked Raphael in sign language. Oh, right. The ape speaks in sign language.

"We're going to be, Raph," said Miguel, looking at his son through the rear-view mirror. "Just wait for a second..."

Josuke worriedly stares at Miguel.

Miguel observes that Josuke seems to be anxious.

"You okay there, bud?" asked Miguel.

"I'm fine, Mr. Reaper."

Miguel stares at Josuke for a short pause, squinting his eyes. "Alright." He went back to driving.

"Finn..." he spoke in Finn's head. "Watch over him, will ya?"

Finn nods.

Anne eats some chips while watching Netflix from her phone.

"Hey, Miggy," she said, chewing. "Is Lord gonna be there?"

"Yes," said Miguel.

"Is it weird that Lord is your half-brother?" asked Anne.

"Yes," said Miguel.

Anne slowly leans forward to see Miguel's face.

"Isn't it weird that you're my husband and also my future brother-in-law?" asked Anne.

"Isn't it weird that you're liking it?" asked Miguel.

"Incest is wincest, biotch!" she yelled, cheering.

"What's incest?" asked Gabrielle.

"Something people from Alabama do and something you shouldn't do," said Miguel.

"Is it one of the things that you censor from my knowledge, Daddy?"

"Yes, dear."

"Slow day," sighed Kariel, leaning on the window.

"Yep," sighed Jake, in his small form sleeping on Kariel's pocket with Spongebob and Patrick.

Kariel played with the string of his embroidered pants' seam and seemed rather happy about his discovery that he could imbue his ability, Spin, into the very string. The string moved like a small cyclone because of Spin and hypnotized the doe eyes of the man.

"What the hell are you doing over there?" asked Gumball, looking rather famished.

"I'm playing with string," said Kariel.

"Yeah, but how are you making it move like that?"

"Spin. It's my Stand Ability."

"You mean, the twisty thing that you do with your hands in the battle that you use to control your bullets?"

"Yeah."

The pair chattered away.

"I heard that the Kingdom of Naples is the home of Spin... So... I'm kinda interested to wander around here and... I don't know... Probably play Spin Tennis or whatever."

"Spin Tennis? Is that actually a thing?"

"No... I want it to be a thing, though."

"Ooh! I have an idea!"

Gumball excitedly turns to his younger brother goldfish, Darwin.

"Yo! Darwin!" he yelled in excitement.

"Waddup, homie?" asked Darwin with a smile.

"I have an idea! How about we practice-! Wait for it... SPIN!!!"

Darwin gave a long look estranged at Gumball.

"What!?"

"That sounds like a terrible idea that will end terribly for us."

"Come on! You're a Stand-User... I'm a Stand-User...!"

"Nah..."

"We might get a new power-up!" he chimed.

Darwin offers a big sigh. "Fine."

Mint, Finn's candy-human hybrid daughter, slept on his lap. She is now five years old.

Finn patted Mint on her back. Mint begins to gag.

"When will we get to the restaurant? Mint's getting a bit dizzy," Finn asked.

"About 2 hours," said Jake, reading the GPS.

"Ugh!" everybody sighed.

"If none of you will stop complaining, I will turn this bus right back!" yelled Miguel.

Everyone went silent.

Josuke continued to scramble on the files in his laptop to check for the file for the "Monster Emperor".

"You workin' on a Sunday?" asked Finn.

"Buzz off, polar boy," said Josuke.

Finn sighs.

"You went out didn't you?" he whispered.

Miguel sees Josuke woge from the mirror. He gives a very soft sigh of disappointment.

"It's alright. I won't tell. But why did you?" Finn asked.

"I thought there was a party... There wasn't."

Finn gave a pause for a minute looking rather curious. "What did you find?" Finn asked as he put a paper bag on Mint's face. "What'd you find?"

"Astronaut Variety Hour was there."

"Darwin's rival?"

"Yep... He did some digging... Apparently, Princess Bubblegum cloned two of our enemies and created the Monster Emperor again."

"What? I don't believe-... *sigh*... Even if it is true, why would Peebos do that?"

Josuke shrugs.

She vomits into it some peppermints and chocolate, which he eats.

"Gross," said Josuke.

Finn laughs and shrugs.

Note: She's half Candy-Person. Thus, her bodily fluids are mostly candy. But she has human DNA mixed, thus, some body parts are human.

Later...

The group reached the restaurant they were going to eat in. It was a fine-dining restaurant filled with beautiful glass all around. Beautiful silk cloth was embroidered in the restaurant. The earnest sounds of glass and utensils echo in the restaurant walls. It had beautiful lanterns hanging in silk-like chains from above. The sounds of the Italian language echoed in the facility. The smell of fresh tomatoes, basil, oregano, and cheese flew into each of their noses.

"Whoa... What is this place?" asked Spongebob.

"Welcome to Trussardini's Silk Table," smiled Miguel.

"But... The tables here are made from Italian Oak," said Anne.

"But there's silk everywhere!" smiled Miguel, pointing to the ceiling and walls.

"In the ceiling and walls, yes," replied Anne. "But the tables literally have no silk."

"Point taken," said Miguel.

"Who's Trussardini and why does his name sound delicious?" asked Ghost Jedan, floating around to find a table.

"He's a well-known master gourmet chef here in Naples... I hope to find him and meet him myself," replied Miguel.

"Why?" asked Anne.

"I wanna see what the fuss is all about is all," smiled Miguel.

"You wanna challenge him to a cook-off, don't you-?" asked Anne.

"I WANNA CHALLENGE HIM TO A COOK-OFF!!!" yelled Miguel. "WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

Spongebob and Patrick giggle as they hop off and run around in the restaurant.

Kariel turns to the right and sees a handsome blonde and slender but muscular man wearing a chef's hat.

"Good afternoon, signore," smiled the man. "I am Antonio Trussardini. What do you wish to have for today?"

Kariel is left utterly speechless to the man.

"Ahem..." said Kariel, as he slowly grabbed the man's shoulder. "Hey."

"Uh..." said the man turning somewhat pink. "What are you doing?"

"What am I...? What am I doing? What am I doing? That is a very... That is... That's a question. What am I doing? What am I-?" asked Kariel.

"He's with us."

Lord appeared with Lei Zeppeli II, his girlfriend.

"Buenos Dias, Senior!" smiled Lord.

"That's not Italian, sweetie," said Lei II.

"Psh... I know! I'm just working on my Chinese," replied Lord. "Anyway. *Ahem...* Welcome! Welcome, everyone!"

Lord and Miguel grab each other's arms and bro hug.

"If it isn't the Marvelier."

"Right back at you, Stardust Crusader."

The group looks at the restaurant's sign.

"What is that? A chef's hat?" asked Darwin.

"It kinda looks like a dick with its head chopped off," said Gumball, unamused.

"It's a silk table, dolts," yelled Miguel.

"Yes," said Trussardini.

"Right!?" asked Miguel. "It's a metaphorical approach to a restaurant!"

"No, signore. There was silk on the tables, but there's an alien robot in here who kept on complaining that the silk was entering his motors."

Miguel sees that he's talking to Antonio.

"Oh! You're Antonio!" smiled Miguel.

Antonio seemingly approaches him.

"Ho... You're approaching me-...?" said Miguel.

Trussardini walks past Miguel and shakes Anne's hand.

"Pleasure to meet you, young Mrs. JoJo! I know your father very well! I used to make his food!" smiled Antonio, kissing her hand.

"Oh! A pleasure, Signore Antonio," said Anne, giggling.

"*Ahem*..." said Miguel.

"Ah... yes... And you are-?" asked Antonio.

"Uh... President of Maharlica?"

Antonio went silent.

"Mafia Boss of the New World Order? The one and only leader of the Hellsing Organization? Writer of the Best-Selling Novel 'Lord of the Things'? Inventor of the Stand-Destabilizer? World-famous gourmet chef from Burnham City?"

Antonio was still confused.

Miguel sighs.

"Her husband..." he bowed his head.

"Ah... You're Miguel JoJo!" laughed Antonio.

"Yes! You've heard of me!" smiled Miguel.

"Not really," said Antonio, walking away.

"Still up for the challenge, honey?" asked Anne.

Miguel grabs his arm. "Maybe next week."

Kariel follows Antonio. He turns around and bumps into Kariel.

"Oh!" yelled Antonio.

"Paumanhin po, Antonio..." said Kariel.

"It's fine," laughed Antonio. "Why are you following me?"

"Uh..." said Kariel. "W-Well... I'm here to... I... Well... You're hot."

"Eh?" asked Antonio.

"Uh-..." whispered Kariel. All-Star emerged because of his fear.

"Come on!" ACT 1 yelled. "Who means business around here?!"

"Oh! You're a Stand-User!" laughed Antonio. "So am I! Wonderful! Forgive me, signore. You must not be fluent in English. Is that what you wanted to talk about?"

"Yes po, sir," said Kariel, in Tagalog.

Meanwhile...

Everyone ate and laughed at the lunch table. Foods like Spaghetti, Pesto, Lasagna, Carbonara, Marinara, Pizza, Caprese Salad, Panzenella, Risotto, Bruschetta, Arancini, Buridda, and Caponata were served on the table which they all ate.

"It's been five years and there hasn't been any ruckus lately... It's as if the JoJo curse had been lifted," smiled Miguel.

"Yeah... It's as if we've finally gotten our happily ever after," laughed Lord.

"Pwerausog," laughed Miguel.

Everyone continued to eat their meals. Meanwhile, Kariel went to the kitchen far from the back to meet Antonio.

"Oh! Hello, Signore!" smiled Antonio.

Kariel held up his finger and took out his phone from his pocket. He started typing something in Google Translate.

"Hello. I am JoJo Kariel."

*click clack click clack*

"No... I mean... Kariel JoJo. I am Kariel JoJo. Unlike most Filipino last names, you pronounce the J's as is. Would you like to-...?Low battery."

An awkward silence entered the pair. They both stared at each other's eyes rather awkwardly.

"I'm going to go since the next table needs people... Ciao!" smiled Antonio, walking away.

Kariel facepalms and mutters to himself.

Meanwhile...

Josuke kept on checking Princess Bubblegum's files to see her latest activities, looking rather worrisome.

"What did you get about your Monster Emperor theory?" asked Finn.

"Finn... It's not a theory. I don't think that Astronaut Variety Hour was lying at all," said Josuke. "Also, I don't think you used theory correctly. You should've said 'conspiracy.'"

"Okay.So... What did you get about the Monster Emperor conspiracy?"

Josuke sighs and rolls his eyes. "N-Nothing."

"See? Peebos would never do something crazy-... Actually... She would, and I'm beginning to believe you."

"Wait. Finn. It says here that five years ago there was a shipment delivery to Princess Bubblegum."

"What was it?"

"A dead dragonfly and a dead lizard."

"Uh... huh? You think that the Monster Emperor has something to do with two dead animals?"

"And... a skin sample of every known Cryptid," said Josuke.

"Now this is interesting! Lemme see that, Joe!"

Josuke hands Finn the laptop. "Why would Princess Bubblegum need so many samples?"

"She's probably cloning something."

"Really, now?"

"Yeah. She cloned stuff before. Including both my kids."

"Both?"

"Hey! All of you shush! I'm watching a speechless clown juggling pizza!" yelled Jake, who is watching an Italian Mime juggling pizza. "Hehehe... Now jump on that unicycle!"

The clown jumps on the unicycle rather smoothly and rides it.

Jake claps humorously.

Meanwhile...

"You think Mr. Ranger would teach us Spin?" asked Darwin.

"Of course! He's like our fourth favorite Crusader!" smiled Gumball.

"Gumball, there are only four living Crusaders..."

"Yeah? Well, he could up himself some time!"

Gumball and Darwin bump into Kariel.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ranger! We'd like to purchase awesome Spin lessons from yours truly-!" smiled Gumball, as Kariel slowly turned around with his tears dripping from his eyes.

"GAH!!!" yelled the pair.

"Darwin," said Gumball. "Don't ask him what's wrong. We'll just slowly back away and act like nothing-..."

"Mr. Ranger! What's wrong?" asked Darwin.

"Goddamn it, fish boy," said Gumball.

"I suck at talking to guys..." said Kariel, grabbing his arm in embarrassment and rubbing it.

"But you're talking to us-!" yelled Gumball, as Darwin immediately punches him in the arm. "Ow! What-!? Oh! Oh... We'd do anything to help you get a date, Mr. Ranger!"

"Thanks! We'll start training next morning!" smiled Kariel.

"Aw yeah!" laughed Gumball. Gumball began singing. "It's two best buds on a Neapolitan trip. No one's gonna be on their way!"

"They're gonna help their master on his relationship because he doesn't know what to say!" sang Darwin.

"Then they're gonna join together and be taught by the master of Spin!" sang Kariel.

"Then the pair are gonna be better than better! Both Spin-Users for the win!!!" sang all three.

Meanwhile...

As the group eats, they each get cured of multiple ailments that they have. In fact, Finn almost regrew his arm (but it disintegrated after a second).

"Whoa... What is this stuff made of, Mr. Trussardini?" asked Finn.

"Regular ingredients... And you know... My Stand, signore," smiled Antonio.

"What does your Stand do?" asked Jake.

A colony of tiny tomato-like Stands with two arms appear from behind Antonio.

"Bonapetit!" yelled the tiny Stands.

"This is my Stand. Pearl Jam. It allows me to enhance one's taste and to make food have the ability to cure one's disabilities."

"Hey! How's it going! I'm Kariel JoJo!" yelled Kariel, moonwalking toward Antonio.

"Kariel, what are you doing?" asked Miguel, looking quite embarrassed.

"Screaming and moonwalking aren't working," whispered Darwin, who along with Gumball are behind a potted plant. "Now, what?"

"Scream louder?" asked Gumball, who spoke on the radio.

"No! No! T-Pose! Assert dominance!"

Kariel does a T-Pose and freaks out Antonio.

"Uh..." said Gumball. "Do a flip!"

Kariel uses ACT 2 to flip himself once.

"He forgot all he's training," facepalmed Gumball.

"HE NEVER TRAINED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!" yelled Darwin. "GIVE ME THAT!!!"

"NO!!!"

"GRR!!!"

"RAUGH!!!"

"You're kind of making a scene, here," said Antonio.

"See!?" asked the both of them to each other.

"I'm talking to you two," said Antonio, whose Stand spotted the pair behind the now broken potted plant. Antonio sighs and turns to Kariel. "What do you want to tell me anyway, Mr. JoJo?"

"Uh... *Ahem...* Uh..."

Kariel flies away using ACT 2 up into the balcony.

Miguel sighs.

"Just a break, God... Just one break..."

Miguel teleports away.

"Hey."

Miguel spots his younger brother on the rooftop.

"Hey, Kuya."

"What the hell happened back there? You were all squeamish and awkward."

"I like him, Kuya! I like him!"

Miguel stares at his younger brother. "Huh... Never knew you actually swung that way."

"Well, I do... And I don't know how to talk to the people I'm attracted to... Ugh! It's just so awkward talking to you about this."

Kariel sits on the rooftop watching the beautiful city of Naples. The sky was blue. The clouds were high. The city was quiet but chattering could be heard below. The birds chirped and the leaves rustled. The wind blew and the chimes chimed.

"When I met Anne again after five years... I didn't know how to approach her... In fact... she approached me. I didn't know how to speak with her..."

Kariel looked at his older brother.

"Even though I was kinda shy at first, to get to know her better, I remembered what I was capable of. I knew I could become the President. I knew that I was the heir to the Mafia. I knew that I was supposed to become the leader of the Hellsing Organization. I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to Invent. I wanted to cook. I wanted to be the very best... and knowing what I was capable of then... I knew I would be capable of all those things. Including being able to talk to Anne."

"I wish I was some of those things..."

"Kariel... Head and CEO of the JoJo Foundation? The user of Spin? A Stardust Crusader? A world-class inventor? An astronaut at some point? A guy who is literally capable of destroying a city? A guy who can fly like Superman and lift cars with ease? The guy who did all those awesome things ten years ago?"

"That was ten years ago," sighed Kariel.

"And this is ten years later... So... You're gonna continue to mope around or are you gonna do something about it?" asked Miguel.

"I'll do something about it! RAUGH!!!"

Kariel flew inside.

"NO!!! WAIT!!!" yelled Miguel. "Ah... Fuck it." Miguel then drank from a bottle of wine.

Kariel wooshed into the room in front of Trussardini.

"I'd like to go on a date with you!!!" yelled Kariel, floating in front of Antonio.

Everyone looked at the two of them.

Antonio softly laughed then giggled.

"You have an... odd way of words, signore. Here's the bill."

Antonio gives Kariel the bill as he bowed his head in defeat.

Kariel opens it and sees something.

Kariel stares at it. "YES!!!" he howled.
