400. Resurrection ~No Man's Land Part II~

"We've got her," said Dipper to Steven, barging into his room.

Steven enters the interrogation chamber to see Nocturna Anastasia. "Hey..." he said. "I just wanted you to know that there's no need for any more anarchy. I'm glad we ended up reaching out to you."

"No... Steven. I'm here because I enjoy intimidating and warning you Maharlicans and your constant belief in peace."

"Anarchy... I honestly don't get it. Your obsession with the destruction of the natural order. Why? What is your purpose?"

"I am a Diamond. That is my purpose."

"YOU HAVE NO PURPOSE!!!" Steven stands up, angered. "NOW, I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH ME SO THAT WE COULD AGREE ON SOMETHING!!!"

"You think that I'm afraid of you. I'm not." Nocturna shows her belly button. She doesn't have one, only having a Black Diamond in the shape similar to Steven's Gem. "I won't fear you, Universe. I don't care if you're known as one of the greatest warriors in history. You're a joke. You think that every problem can be solved if you just talk to them. You can't always do that, Steven. Sometimes, you have to do things that break your character to get what you want.And... Because you'll never do that... I doubt it, based on what I see from you...Look at you... Your eyes... quivering at the sight of yet another rogue Diamond..."

Steven's eyes are quivering as she said.

"You're hopeless. You won't break your stupid rule... And I'll enjoy killing people in your petty mind's wake."

"SHUT UP!!! I DESTROYED EVERYTHING THE COLORED DIAMONDS WERE!!! I DESTROYED EVERYTHING THEY STOOD FOR!!! I DESTROYED EVERYTHING THEY WORKED FOR AND EVERYTHING THEY WERE PLANNING!!! I DID THAT!!! ME!!! SO!!! Let's begin our discussion."

"You did that? You really destroyed everything your sisters had created and instituted, establishing your own form of government?"

"YES!!!"

Nocturna pauses. She smiles. "You really are a Diamond."

Steven's eyes went from anger to complete horror from that chilling statement.

"And... You'd make a reeeaaally good Dark Gem... I can tell... Those are the eyes of someone who shattered someone..."

Steven went silent and stared in horror.

Suddenly, the news app beeps Steven's iWatch and Steven watches what's happening to Burnham, Earth-Prince.

He sees several bodies of people on the streets. He also sees people running around the streets, screaming out of fear. He sees Goblin and the Joker flying about in the respective gliders, cackling as they pierce innocent people with their weapons.

"What... did you do?"

"You see, Steven... Peace is never enough. Because life... really isn't fair... So, let us establish a little... anarchy... chaos... and... madness... and people would be truly free!"

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" asked Steven.

"Taking upon my next move on the Chessboard. Your move, Pink Diamond..." sneered Nocturna. She begins humming, "La Vien En Rose."

"RAUGH!!!" Steven stands up and walks outside the interrogation room. "Quarantine Burnham, Philippines, Earth-Prince! NOW!!!"

"What's happening!?" asked Star.

"People are dying. SO QUARANTINE THE CITY!!! ALL UNITS ENTER THE CITY WITH CAUTION!!!" yelled Steven.

"YOU HEARD HIM!!!" yelled Dipper, speaking into a handheld transceiver. "Let's go! Call the authorities! It happened! Go! Go! Go!"

"Okay..." said Josuke, standing up, slowly. "Who the frick are you?"

"I'm someone who has a job. I'm here to finish it."

Suddenly, the purple vines are whipped from his arm as he strangles Josuke.

"GET OVER HERE!!!" yelled Joseph, as he pulls Josuke back toward himself. When Josuke reaches Joseph, Joseph punches Josuke in the face as he drops to the ground.

Josuke's face is revealed to be burnt up due to the Hamon Joseph is using.

Josuke restores his face as the others back away.

Gabrielle charges and attacks using Stone Free.

But Joseph electrocutes her with Hamon, also burning her up, having similar injuries to the Aswangs from Part I. The burn patterns are black in color and resemble ripples of thread on her skin.

Gabrielle regenerates and keeps on attacking with Stone Free, but Joseph backflips away and bites into her neck, beginning to suck her blood.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" yelled Gabrielle. Out of pain, she Wahrewoges and stabs Joseph in the chest. He is almost unaffected by this.

Josuke attacks and yells, "LUCKY HAMON!!!"

Joseph is unaffected.

Josuke's eyes widen.

"Hamon!" yelled Joseph, as Josuke is electrocuted by the Hamon and begins to burn up because of this.

The others finally attack.

Narcos augments bloody ice from his blood.

Gumball tosses a Spin-imbued coin.

Spongebob shoots bomb bubbles.

Patrick attacks with GGR and grows bigger,

Darwin evolves into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and attacks with his Gentleman, shooting at Joseph over and over with his machine gun.

Jake punches him over and over again.

Finn attacks with Time Adventure.

Joseph is injured by each of their attacks but regenerates almost instantly. Suddenly, Joseph creates an ice armor as well, absorbing Narcos' eyes.

"What the-!?" asked Narcos.

Joseph grabs Narcos and punches him to the ground. He zaps him with Hamon as Narcos begins to dust away.

"ORA!!!"

Joseph is shot into a building and crashes inside.

Gabrielle grabs Narcos and heals him with her strings.

"Narcos!" sobbed Gabrielle.

Narcos is unresponsive, having bluer lips and bleeding from his mouth and nostrils.

Joseph walks out of the building with his ice armor. His eyes begin to flash purple.

Josuke gets distracted by this.

It flashes lights several times until...

*BZZT!!!*

Liquid heat vision blasts out of his eyes as everyone gets down. Jake is cut in half as he shrieks out of pain.

"Oh! Wait a minute..." said Jake. He puts his body back together. "There you go!" His lower body melts. He screams again. He vomits blood and tries to regenerate the lower half of his body.

Finn angrily charges.

"MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!"

Joseph grabs Finn by the throat. Time Adventure is then held down by Hermit Purple. "My my! You sure look familiar... Shall I blast your brains open...? DIO!?Well... Looks like the roles are reversed here! So... I might as well-..."

Joseph's claws dig into Finn's neck and begin sucking his blood.

Everyone left attacks again.

Gumball shoots another coin. Weird also attacks as well.

"ARA ARA ARA ARA-!!!"

Darwin shoots with his Stand.

"MADA FADA!!!"

Spongebob shoots another bomb bubble.

Patrick attacks with GGR.

"GUBI GUBA GUBI GUBA!!!"

Joseph's leg blows up.

Joseph is shot with coins. Patrick is punched by GGR.

Joseph turns to them, annoyed.

Suddenly, they are wrapped up by Hermit Purple.

He then electrocutes them with Hamon, as they feel intense pain. The kinetic energy of the Hamon and its gravity damages their Stands, therefore crushing themselves.

"HERMIT PURPLE!!! AND... HAMON... OVERDRIVE!!!"

Everyone shrieks in pain. He then blasts heat vision into each of their stomachs as they drop to the ground.

Finn continues shrieking in pain.

Jake finally attacks, but Joseph blasts heat vision into his face, burning his eye. Joseph then wraps Hermit Purple around Jake and electrocutes him with Hamon, proceeding to melt Jake.

It begins to get windy.

Josuke charges and attacks with his Stand, Prince. Several frisbees, spiked leaves, sticks, satellite dishes, bullet-sized meteorites, guitars, remotes, rocks, tree branches, and other objects all strike Joseph, forcing Joseph to let go of Finn.

Joseph is attacked over and over again by Josuke's Stand.

Josuke yells. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!!"

Joseph is struck in the head with a car thrown at him as he crashes to the ground.

Joseph stands right back up and attacks Josuke with Hermit Purple, but Josuke Wahrewoges and dodges.

Joseph smiles, proceeding to flash his eyes.

This distracted Josuke, remembering Eobard's own red eyes. He ends up committing a mistake in the fight.

Josuke uses Prince to punch Joseph, but Josuke is shocked by Hamon, burning from the inside.

Note: Hamon dusts Rock Organisms. But it burns Cryptids.

All the objects about to hit him fall inches before him as Josuke goes limp on the ground.

Gabrielle attacks with Stone Free, but Joseph's vines overpower her strings and he electrocutes her with Hamon. She burns from the inside and drops to the ground.

Everyone is defeated. Joseph sighs.

"Alright! That's enough!"

Joseph smiles. "Finally..."

Jotaro appears from behind Joseph. "This city is under lockdown. I can't believe you actually helped these fucking assholes."

"I just came here because I saw the message on my watch and Narcos wasn't anywhere to be seen..." said Gabrielle.

"What about the kid?"

"Raphael and Iggy are with her... It's okay," said Gabrielle.

"Jotaro... Toffee has a cure. He's the Reincarnation of the First Monster, the healer of all monsters. He literally has the power to help us. He could cure your disease and cure this..." Joseph slices his skin with his claw. It regenerates.

"JiiJii... You don't have to do this... Just stand down."

"Now, now... Jotaro... Don't try and fight me."

"I won't... JiiJii... I honestly won't."

Jotaro reveals Shizuka behind him.

"Ojii-san?"

Joseph sighs. "Are you fucking serious? My own kid!?"

"I thought... What!?" asked Gabrielle. "I thought Jotaro was her Dad...!?"

"I actually did bring back JiiJii after he died. He actually raised Shizuka for years before I adopted her."

Joseph is shown picking up Shizuka and throwing her in the air then bringing her down.

"You want another airplane Shizuka?" smiled Joseph.

"Wee! Wee!" laughed and giggled Shizuka.

Later...

"That one, Ojii-san!"

Shizuka hugs the pet rabbit Joseph gave to her.

"However, around 2001, JiiJii began to get sick and I had to take care of Shizuka. JiiJii and I took turns in taking care of her. For five years, JiiJii was with Shizuka for most of her life in Japan. But... His transformation became complete... And he became a Vampire...But interestingly enough, because of his Stand, he could walk during daylight.As his personality became more violent and dangerous, he got younger by the second. And I had to keep Shizuka away from him, so I had her mother take care of her instead and I would visit every now and then."

Joseph, now a Vampire, eats Shizuka's pet rabbit. Jotaro is horrified, as Joseph slowly turns to Jotaro. He begins to cry.

"What happened to me...?" he asks Jotaro.

"JiiJii..."

Joseph immediately hisses and attacks Jotaro, but Jotaro grabs him, stopping him.

"Sooner or later... when Shizuka was seven, in 2005, JiiJii had to leave, because he found himself too dangerous for her and for everyone he loved.

So... logically, he left us."

Note: Because Joseph's head was crushed by DIO in this universe, Jotaro added more blood into Joseph's body, enough to completely restore his head. This caused Joseph to become a Vampire since not only his blood returned to his body, but DIO's as well.

Now...

"I just wanted to say... I'm sorry, JiiJii."

"No, no, no... Don't give me that. I never asked to come back."

"Ojii-san!" yelled Shizuka. "Please...! Just... calm down. You don't have to fight us!"

Joseph began to cry.

"Look at you... You're all grown up..."

"Yeah... It's called puberty, Ojii-san."

"Shizuka..." said Joseph. "Step out of the way and let me have a little discussion with my Grandson."

"No," said Shizuka.

Finn finally gasps a breath after being healed by Gabrielle.

"Holy shit... that was worse than the punishment for the deleted timelines where I had Tier 15 with a lot of people..." said Finn.

"Did... you... perhaps... do it with me in one of those timelines?" asked Gabrielle.

"What?" 

"What!?" asked Gabrielle, turning red.

"You have serious issues, dude," said Shizuka.

"Would you lay off of me!?"

Narcos looks away from Gabrielle.

"Oh, come on! Really!?" asked Gabrielle. "Great! Next, I have to surgically restore our relationship. Narcos! It isn't like that!"

"Uh-huh..." said Narcos.

"Gabrielle," said Josuke. "You're doing this bit while people are dying."

"FINLAND!!!" yelled Patrick.

"YAKAMASHI!!! ITO SHIZO KONO!!! (SHUT UP!!! YOU'RE DAMNED FUCKING ANNOYING!!!)" yelled Jotaro.

Everyone shuts up.

"It's weird that we could understand Japanese," said Patrick.

"Jiijii... Please... stand down..." said Jotaro, turning to Joseph.

Joseph closes his eyes, bows his head, and sighs. "No."

His eyes flash purple and he blasts purple liquid heat vision from his eyes.

Suddenly, Shizuka blocks Joseph's heat vision with her body, as Joseph stops using Super-Stingy Space-Ripper Eyes.

Jotaro stops time.

Time resumes.

*SPLAT!!!*

Joseph skips like a stone and crashes into an abandoned freighter. "OOOOHH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!"

Jotaro takes out a jar and swallows an upgraded version of his meds. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." smiled Shizuka.

Suddenly, Joseph charges toward Jotaro. He flips forward and blasts liquid heat vision at Jotaro, but he teleports around and flies toward Joseph.

Jotaro uses Star Platinum to knock Joseph to the ground.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!" 

Star Platinum's punches, however, were weakened by Jotaro himself to avoid severely injuring Joseph.

Joseph then wraps Hermit Purple around Jotaro's Stand.

"HAMON OVERDRIVE!!!"

*ZAP!!!*

Jotaro yells in pain as he is shocked by Hamon, injuring him.

*CLANG!!!*

*SPLAT!!!*

An invisible metal pipe injures Joseph as he drops to the ground.

Joseph stands right back up with a bleeding head. "Shizuka...? How could you?"

Shizuka hesitates.

Joseph smiles. "NIGERUNDAYO!!!"

Joseph backflips and is caught by one of Goblin's gliders.

Shizuka helps Jotaro up. "Guys? We have to get outta here..."

Josuke, Finn, Jake, Spongebob, Patrick, Gumball, Gabrielle, Narcos, Shizuka, and Jotaro all look at each other and nod. They began moving away as a group.

Yurielle, Irene, Miguel Ibarra, Rick, Morty, Nick, Monroe, Mercuria, Victoria, and F.F. travel around the city around the rubble and the fire.

Suddenly, they see Batman and Spider-Man in the city, running away from something...

Or someone... who resembles very much The Monster Emperor...

Well? Whaddya think? 400th Chapter (at least in ao3) BABY!!! Yeah! Setting up the No Man's Land Arc! Well?

I dunno... Whatever happens next...? See you again in the next chapter!
