The Joestar Protector Book 2

Noriaki Kakyoin's Ending

Play music when it says.

   " Now, die! Twenty-Meter Emerald Splash! "

Kakyoin set off one of the lines and they started setting off some of the others. All of the emeralds were flying towards Dio, with some of the lines still intact in case he moved.

   " You're a fool, Kakyoin! With my stand, I have the ability to rule the world! What can you do in the face of such overwhelming power!? Behold, The World!"

I watched the emeralds get closer to Dio, and they looked like they were about to hit him, but suddenly a cloud of dust formed around Dio, hiding him from sight. I heard something loud from Kakyoin's side and I looked back to where Kakyoin was supposed to be standing, to only find, that he wasn't there. I heard another sound like someone had hit something and when I looked further back I saw Kakyoin hit the water tower.

   " What!? "

   " Kakyoin! "

He impacted the water tower so hard that his body stayed in the dent he made, and water spilled from the tower. His stomach had a hole through the middle and the blood mixed with the water. Kakyoin wasn't responding and I tried listening for his breathing, but I couldn't hear it. He wasn't moving at all and the hole in his stomach was too large to be healed. I saw something green fly by the corner of my eye and I looked at the ropes that he created. They were gently falling apart and their green sparks were flying in the air as they disappeared.

   " Kakyoin. . ."

You couldn't feel it, but tears streamed down your cheeks and hit the ground. Your heart felt like it was in so much pain, that it would have been considered a heart attack in your mind. You felt your breathing shift and you felt like you couldn't breathe at all. Hierophant Green's web was gentle as it fell as if it was lighter than air. The sparks flew through the sky before disappearing, forever. Your legs felt like jelly, and it hurt to even stand. You fell to the ground, in pain. You couldn't take your eyes off the water tower.

   " Shit! I've had enough of this! Hermit-"

You felt it too. Joseph turned around and Dio was floating in the air behind you two. You didn't have to turn around to know he was there. Your eyes wouldn't leave Kakyoin and your tears wouldn't stop.

   " You're next on the chopping block, Joseph. In order for Jonathan's body to finally become mine completely, I must drink the blood of a Joestar. And I think now is a good time as any to partake. And Y/n, my dear, don't shed tears over that simpleton. He was in the way, so I had to do what I must. He was a threat to me and the love between us. "

   " Dio! " Joseph yelled.

Joseph brought you up from the ground by your arms and his eyes looked into yours. He felt heartbroken by seeing Kakyoin die, but in your eyes, he could see the heartbreak. He felt bad for pulling you and not letting you grieve, but it was for the best. Joseph held you up as he glared at Dio.

   " You're gonna pay for what you've done. Just you wait! I'm taking that body back in the name of Granny Erina! "

You could barely listen to what the two were saying, your heartbeat was in your ears and you felt the adrenaline calm down in your veins as you looked at Kakyoin's body.

   " Erina? Ah, you mean that backwater shrew. Nonsense, I'm going to drink your blood then eliminate you vermin. And then I can take Y/n and live peacefully as I take over the world. She never has to be with the Joestar Clan again, where she will be hurt, and brought into danger. "

   " She was never brought into danger! I always protected her! "

   " Oh, then what brought her here? If you protected her then what led to her appearance here in this time? Obviously, as a protector, you failed and you can't keep her out of danger, can you? "
