throughout the years

training with coach lisa lisa

Y/n watched in awe as the woman infront of them formed the ripple in the canal.

Joseph: she doesn't look that strong.
Y/n: jojo,you shouldn't judge based on looks.
Lisa lisa: you both have much untapped potential you haven't even scratched the surface of your ability.

She looked at Joseph when saying that and then turned her gaze to y/n.

Lisa lisa: and you have more hamon than a normal person.

Y/n: well I'm not exactly a normal person but I'd like to tap into all of my potential.

Lisa lisa: then we start training now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Staring at the pillar and the the bottom which was filled with what seemed to be oil, y/n smiled nervously as she slowly backed away from the pillar but didn't get that far as she felt a harsh shove from behind and before she knew it, she was falling.

Joseph do I really  have to wear this thing?
Y/n: yeah!,why do I have to wear one too?

Lisa lisa: there specialized masks used

Ceasar: but coach not even I haven't gone in there are you sure they'll be fine.

Lisa lisa: if they can't make it out of there then they weren't worth teaching.

Ceasar: yes coach.
Y/n: I made it.

The two stared incredulously at y/n and then took a look at the icicles that she had formed to jump up and they stared back at her. Y/n thinking she had found a loop hole didn't expect to be pushed back down, grabbing onto the closest thing which happened to be ceasar she fell back into the pool of oil.

Y/n: damn I really thought that would work.
Joseph: that's why you have to use your head like me.

Y/n: so you have a plan jojo?
Joseph: obviously.

He had coated rope in oil and had wrapped it around the pillar but as soon as he reached quarter-way, the rope was cut.

Lisa lisa: I told you the pillar only accepts hamon.
Y/n: well that's no fun, guess we'll have to do it the old fashion way.

Allowing the hamon to flow through her fingertips and onto the pillar y/n slowly started climbing, trying to catch up with ceasar as he had started climbing earlier. Y/n had felt slight strain as she hadn't done anything like this in a long time but pressed on nonetheless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joseph stared at his companions as they climbed but noticed y/n's eyes were clouded over and her fingers were twitching slightly.

Joseph: y/n!, don't lose focus!

Seeing her countue to climb, Joseph let out a sigh of relief.

Y/n felt slowly dozing off as she was tired but snapped out of it once she heard Joseph's voice and focused some of her hamon into her toes as well allowing her to pass ceasar, making sure to give him a encouraging nod.

Joseph had noticed that every so often y/n and ceasar would seem to struggle with climbing but would always go higher. He stared at their bodies finger tips and noticed the hamon that flowed through them which gave him all the answers he needed, latching onto the pillar he began his climb.

Y/n: it was finally time he joined us.
Joseph: I heard that!
Y/n: focus or you'll fall jojo!
Joseph: yeah yeah, I know!

Ceasar sighed as he watched the two's interaction  but quickly focused back onto the task at hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The days went by  quickly as they scaled the pillar. Y/n felt herself slipping into slumber as she had learned to focus the distribution of her hamon in her sleep but stopped as she sensed two people next to her. Y/n felt a slight shift in pillar as oil started spewing out forming a barrier between the top and bottom of the pillar. Joseph felt sweat run down his face as y/n give him the dirtiest glare she could muster.
