Kars picked his child up and let her perch on his wide shoulders, "Wamuu was too pure of a warrior. That purity held him back." (Y/n) heard some vampires bad mouthing Wamuu. That made her sick to hear. Her father did not appreciate it either and immediately drank those vampires dry with the blade on his arm. They would act as some fuel for the fight he was about to be in. "Only (y/n) and I remain.," Kars spoke and took off his head wrap. His long plum locks fell from their impossible binding and his horns were revealed to his enemies. He was ready to fight! He always stood on top in any battle he partook in!
(Y/n) took her father's head wrap and placed it into one of the bags on her belt. The vampires around the cheered as they saw that Kars was ready to fight. Some vampires offered to fight for Kars, saying that he did not have to follow the rules and fight the humans one on one.

The vampires attacked Lisa Lisa and Joseph. The woman was skilled and struck down two vampires with elegant and powerful hamon charged kicks. She was graceful and flowing in her movements as she killed those vampires. She held the stone up for all to see, "I told you before, it is me against Kars. One on one. If you don't like those terms, I'll just smash this!"
"There is no need. I will fight you like I promised.," Kars spoke, "One on one. That is why I revealed my horn. As for these underlings and their behavior? Well, they are already dead." The plum haired man walked away with his daughter perched on his shoulder, his attack was too quick for his opponent to see. The vampires just seemed to fall apart as he walked away. (Y/n) hung onto her father's hair as he walked away. It was not as soft as hers, but it was amazingly plush. The girl was happy that she was with her father and heartbroken that the two warriors she knew all of her life were dead.
She sensed that her father was also grief stricken by their deaths. But he was better at hiding it than his daughter. "My goal is to obtain the stone. However, Esidisi and Wamuu were my comrades for 10,000 years. I must honor their deaths and their pride.," Kars spoke back to his enemies, "I will fight you hamon users fairly and finish this with my own hands. Lisa Lisa, after seeing you fight, I shall not think of you as a woman. I shall fight you with all of my strength. Follow me!"

The hamon users followed the two plum haired beings to a ruined temple that had only ragged structures and support beams left from its glory days. It was not an arena like Joseph and Wamuu had, but it was symbolic and would do well. Kars set his daughter down, she felt him put something into her bag quickly as he did. "(Y/n) I want you to watch from that ledge. It will be the safest place.," the red eyed man instructed his daughter. The girl nodded and climbed to the ledge he had pointed out, it was out of reach of the hamon users and was big enough for her to be on safely. She could watch the fight there.
Joseph and the vampires watched from below as Kars and Lisa Lisa both got onto the Temple structure. Kars offered her to pick a weapon of her choice from a pile that he had some servants bring. Lisa Lisa kicked those aside and told him that she would fight with her scarf. (Y/n) rubbed her eyes as they still had some tears coming from them, she was not done crying for Esidisi and Wamuu. She felt her warm tears fall from her eyes, she could hardly watch the fight happening below her. She felt some of her tears be wiped by an unseen hand.

(Y/n) wiped her eyes and looked around, nobody was with her. Yet she did not feel alone. She looked back to the fight and saw her father stab Lisa Lisa through the torso, knocking her out of the fight. This was a mockery of what Wamuu would have wanted. But this was also part of her father's personality, he was determined. (Y/n) also knew now of another reason for his hatred of Lisa Lisa, the woman resembled her mother. Any hope of Kars developing some respect for humanity died with that woman, a woman whose daughter was the only hung that Kars had left to care about besides the stone.
He needed that stone to become the ultimate being and finally be satisfied. The man held the stone up for his daughter and the observers to see, "The stone is mine! Now, my servants, all you have to do is kill that annoying Jojo!"
The vampire servants did not have to be told twice, they immediately all began to attack Joseph. Kars watched the fight below him in absolute glee. His red eyes looked up to his daughter's position and showed her the stone. She gave him a big smile as tears dropped from her eyes like shining pearls. She was truly happy for her father.
