STARCHASERS!

The Curse Of DIO

"Thank you...very much."Kakyoin thanked Holly for treating his flesh bud wound, "Kakyoin was it? You should rest for a while. You should stay for the night"Holly told kakyoin smiling "Papa, please get his futon ready"Holly ordered Joseph. "Huh? Um...Why do i have to do that?! I've never even liked the idea of sleeping on the floor! Holly, replace the futon in my room with a real bed!"Joseph retaliated. "Papa, you're in Japan, so please just get used to the Japanese way of doing things. Oh, and call me 'Seiko'."Holly told Joseph. "What?!"Joseph replied. "Holly comes from the word 'Holy,' which is 'seinaru'in Japanese. So all my friends call me 'Seiko.'"Holly explained.

"What the hell is that?! 'Holly' is the wonderful name i gave you mys-"Joseph yell was cut off. "If you don't call me 'Seiko' from now on, I won't answer."Holly sulked. "Holly!"Joseph was shocked. "Does it hurt, Kakyoin?"Holly asked. "I-i'm fine."Kakyoin replied. "Holly!"Joseph yelled in frustration. Jotaro sighed lowering his hat and left the room. "Good grief..."Jotaro sighed.

THE NEXT MORNING

"Holly! Hey, Holly! Hey, where are you? Take a good look. These are Jotaro's pants. Where are mine? The size is just right, but I can't wear these! Hey, Holly! Oh I have to call her 'Seiko' or she won't come out? No, my daughter is Holly. Holly Answer me!"Joseph yelled looking for Holly. Kiki's eyes fluttered open from all the commotion Joseph was causing making her wake up from her sleep. When Kiki woke up she noticed the room was freezing when she grabbed her glasses from her pillow her jaw dropped. The room had a glaze of ice from bottom to roof. Kiki was only wearing a white tank top, AKA the clothing she wore underneath her jacket the whole day. Beside the white tank top she was wearing, she was also wearing baggy pants which kept her legs warm during the night. "Imagine me sharing a room like this..."Kiki told herself.

"AAAAAAAAH!"Joseph's scream alarmed Kiki, causing her to get out of bed immediately slamming the door open as she ran to Joseph she bumped into Jouko they shared a worried look and continued sprinting. "I knew she didn't have the power to deny the curse from Dio's soul."Joseph said, guilty. Jotaro gripped Josephs artificial hand getting him to let go Jotaro's jacket. While Kiki and Jouko stood there in shock until Jouko's realization seeps in. "Mom!"Jouko rushed to Holly shocked. "What happened?"Kiki asked Avdol, who could only grunt in response. Not knowing to tell Jouko the situation... "Tell me how we should deal with this!"Jotaro yelled at Joseph still gripping his artificial hand, finally letting go causing Joseph to stumble slightly.

"There's only one way... We need to find DIO! We need to kill DIO and lift the curse! That's all we can do!"Joseph replied. After settling Holly into a futon. Avdol explained the situation to Kiki and Jouko. And now here we are. "No matter how many times I try, he hides in darkness. In every spirit photo I take, the background is darkness!"Joseph said with photos of DIO on the floor. "I cannot find out where he is with my spirit photos."Joseph sighed. "We've used various means to analyze them, but with this darkness, it always failed."Avdol sighed too. But Jotaro walked towards them, "you should've told me that in the first place"Jotaro said grabbing the picture. "I might be able to find out where that darkness or whatever it is!"Jotaro explained himself summoning his stand. "Did you see something in the space behind DIO?"Jotaro asked his stand, opening a drawer grabbing a small book and a pencil. "My stand is able to move with such accurasy that it could extract a flesh bud from his brain. and with such precision that it can grasp a bullet. Let's have him sketch."Jotaro told them holding the small book while his stand held the pencil... without wasting a second, his stand immediately started to sketch what he saw from the photo. "That looks like a..."Jouko recognized that insect in the sketch.

"A fly! A fly was in that space!"Avdol pointed out. "But a fly won't help us at all-"Joseph was cut off. "Wait a moment! I've seen this fly before!"Avdol said. "What?"Joseph was confused. "Jojo, do you have an encyclopedia?"Avdol asked Jotaro. "We've got a library."Jotaro replied. "I'll take the memo."Avdol said taking the sketch from Jotaro. "And I'll go investigate!"Avdol said "I'll come with you!"Jouko followed after Avdol.

Holly whimpered her eyes fluttering open. Kiki sat down next to Holly. "Holly!"Joseph said sitting down next to Holly. "Papa...i-"Holly stammered. "just rest, Jotaro, get some water."Joseph told Jotaro. "It's okay Ms Holly, you rest okay?"Kiki said worried. "Don't worry your head too much Kiki...I'm fine."Holly smiled, Holding Kiki's hand. Jotaro came back with a glass of water giving it to Holly. She drank it and set the glass down. "Thank you, Jotaro"Holly thanked jotaro. "Really, I wonder what's wrong with me. I can't believe i took a fever and passed out."Holly chuckled. "You gave me quiet the scare Holly..."Joseph replied to Holly's conversation.

After a while Joseph took care of Holly, brushing her teeth, washing her face gave her an apple and holly did a silly joke. Kiki had left to go grab her jacket from her room. When Kiki came back Holly had passed back out again from the fever...they've figured out where DIO was and the speedwagon foundation doctors was already there with Holly.  "Kiki, do you want to come?"Jouko asked. "Of course."Kiki's tone of voice changed completely. "Why do you wish to come."Kakyoin asked. "I'm...avenging my loved ones..."Kiki gripped the hem of her jacket eyes narrowed. "Very well..."Avdol replied. "Well then, Let's hit the road!"Joseph said.
