〖JJBA - EN〗- Last Judgement

Chapter 33: Rage.

Cairo, Egypt. January 16th, 1989.

It had been several minutes since (Y/N) had stopped crying. Several minutes she had spent admiring Noriaki's peaceful face. Like he was just sleeping on her lap. She was gently stroking his red hair, but she no longer felt any pleasure in doing so. No, she just felt very empty. Sitting next to her, Caesar was of poor comfort. He was rubbing her back, even though she could barely feel him. After all, he too was dead.

"...I tried to warn you-

- Shut up."

Caesar fell silent immediately. He pouted, looking away at the horizon with concern. He could no longer see Joseph. Nor Dio. And that didn't bode well. Not well at all. After a long moment of silence, the ghost could not help expressing his fears.

"(Y/N), I think Jojo is in danger..."

She looked up at him and met his worried gaze. Her heart sank. She didn't know which Jojo he was referring to. Maybe both. But it didn't matter. Because in any case... She couldn't stay here doing nothing, she knew it very well. It was too late to help Kakyoin, but it wasn't too late to help the others. She looked at the teenager's peaceful face, and a very weak smile traced the young woman's lips. What could he be dreaming of right now? She leaned down and placed a kiss on his still warm forehead. Then, gently, she laid him on the ground and put his hair back in place.

"Don't move, okay? I'm coming back to get you... I have to go help Jojo."

For a moment, she waited for any response from Kakyoin. But he was sleeping soundly. Then she sighed and threw herself into the void, under Caesar's worried eyes. She let the wind whip her face as she fell, a smile on her face. The temptation to let herself fall without doing anything was great, but she chased it away quickly. As she was about to crash, she whispered,

"Last Judgement... Hierophant Green..."

Kakyoin's Stand materialized and caught her with a tentacle before she could hit the ground. A sad smile floated on the young woman's lips. Somehow, he was still here for her. She threw herself from one roof to another, until she arrived above a very busy street. There was commotion, traces of confrontation, and a cat's corpse in pieces. No doubt, Dio had been there. But the worst part of it all was-

"Jojo!" Caesar's ghost cried, rushing at the old Joestar's lifeless body lying in the street.

Her throat tightened, but (Y/N) did not come down from the roof on which she was hidden. She was watching over the scene, a lump in her stomach. She was unable to feel any sadness. The only emotion that was rising, faster and faster, stronger and stronger, was immense anger. She had to find Jotaro. And speaking of the devil... Two men were speeding through the air like shooting stars. Dio was chasing Jotaro. She narrowed her eyes, materializing Hierophant Green at her side. She was going to have to be quick. And aim straight. Dio could stop time, she knew that now. But he already had to see her attack coming. As the vampire passed back down the street just below, following Jotaro, (Y/N) sent him an Emerald Splash without thinking any longer. But Dio veered off course at the last moment. He crashed into a window of a building. When he reappeared at the window, he was only slightly injured and his wounds were closing up quickly. But the surprise could be read on his face.

"Kakyoin?! I thought I had killed y- Oh."

(Y/N) landed alongside Jotaro, rage on her face. The young man examined Hierophant Green's tentacles with a gloomy expression on his stone-cold face. Dio laughed and jumped out the window to join them.

"Miss (Y/N) Zeppeli. It's hard to get rid of old memories, I see?

- Die."

But she was thrown back before she could do anything. At least she didn't try to do anything. However, Dio had just been violently propelled into a store window, one of his legs tearing off in the process. The saleswoman screamed in fear. But (Y/N) took advantage of this setback to get up, and remove the pieces of glass that she had planted in her arm.
