A Tangled Battle Tendency

AN: I own nothing!! I got bored during these hard times of Corona and thought of this, it sounded a lot better in my head. Enjoy!

~Prelude~

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a kingdom. This kingdom was ruled by the kind Joestar family. The current king and queen, Jonathon and Erina Joestar, had just retired. Passing the title to their son and his wife, George and Elisabeth "Lisa Lisa" Joestar.

The kingdom continued on peacefully, celebrating their new rulers. When news of a baby within the new couple spread, the kingdom rejoiced for them! They couldn't wait to welcome the new heir to the kingdom, though the merriment did not last long as queen Lisa Lisa grew extremely ill.

Everyone was worried neither her nor the child would survive. Everyone in the kingdom did everything they could to help, made medicines, tokens, and prayed. Finally one day, someone came forward with an old tale of a magical stone called the Super Aja. It was a magical stone made from a drop of the sun itself, said to give everlasting life and cure any injury or illness.

The king and his family were desperate so they sent the guards to hunt down this magical stone. Little did they know that there was a self proclaimed guardian of the stone, named Kars. He had long since been using the stone to keep himself young. All he had to do was sing a special song and he stayed young, strong, and healthy.

When the guards finally found the stone, they were elated! While they were gathering the stone, they were unaware of the guardian watching them with disdain from a distant hill. His lips twisted into a menacing smirk.

When the stone was used on the queen, she was miraculously healed the next day. She gave birth to a handsome baby boy with beautiful golden hair, and the classic star shaped birthmark on his shoulder (the sign that he was of the royal bloodline)a month later. They named him Joseph Joestar. To honor the prince, the kingdom launched floating lanterns of every color into the sky on his birthday.

Happiness pulsed through the kingdom with each new day. They all loved the sweet baby Joseph. Their joy was short lived though, one night, a week before Joseph's first birthday, something terrible happened.

Angered by the loss of his elixir of youth, Kars snuck into the castle to find it. After finding out the stone had combusted after use, he wandered into little Joseph's room. As he gazed upon the infant's face, he got an idea. He quietly started to sing his magic song. "Flower gleam and glow." A smile curled across his lips as the boy's hair began to glow, "Let your power shine." He brought out a knife and slowly approached the baby's head, "Make the clock reverse bring back what once was mine." He brought the knife to a small lock of hair near the base of the boy's head. He was strong and young again, where seconds before he had been old and feeble. "What on-!"

Just as his brilliant bone blade severed the hair, it turned a lifeless brown color. He jumped back and saw his reflection as an old man again. He cursed, but then a wicked idea came upon him. Slowly he approached the cradle. He had lost his old elixir. He picked the boy up and approached the door. Looks like he just found a new one. And with a swish of his cape, he was gone. Along with Joseph.

The next morning, the kingdom shook with rage and sadness. A deep despair descended upon the land. The beloved Prince had been taken in the night, nothing left, but a brown lock of hair. Every year, on Joseph's birthday, the rainbow of lanterns were launched into the sky in hopes that their lost Prince would return.

Deep in the woods a single lone tower with no doors stood silent. Inside, a five year old Joseph sat with his father peacefully brushing his extremely long golden hair. "Father?" "Yes Joseph?" "Why can't I go outside?" Kars paused in his brushing and after a moment replied, "The world is a dangerous place full of evil people who would hurt you and take your hair for themselves. That is why you stay here, so you don't get hurt." "Ok", Joseph looked dejectedly at the ground. "Joseph dear, why don't you sing for father? I would like that a lot"

"Yes father. Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine, heal what has been hurt, change the fates design, save what has been lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine," a sense of calm washed over Kars as the glow faded. He looked down and saw that any and all blemishes and wrinkles on his skin had disappeared. He sighed and resumed brushing.

It was the night of Joseph's sixth birthday, Kars had fallen asleep an hour ago. Joseph had waited until he heard the steady breathing before sneaking past his door, his hair dragging at least seven feet behind him.

He came up to the window to stare at the most beautiful thing he had seen in his short life. In the far distance, a shimmer of light caught the small boy's gleaming eyes. He focused on it and watched as thousands of different colors joined the gleam in the night sky.

This was always his favorite part of his birthday. He had no idea what the lights were, or what they were for. But in a way, he felt like they were for him. It was a nice thought to have. Someday, he thought, someday I'm gonna see those lights up close!

AN: I promise it will get better. I had no idea how to start it. As you can probably see, most things are either similar to JJBA or Tangled. Some things I tweaked to fit into the story better. Have fun and stay safe!!
