The Joestar Protector Book 1

To Sacrifice Oneself

   " You see, I'm not merely human. I'm More! "

I watched as he unbuttoned his coat and a long belt of bullets fell around him. Instead of a stomach, there was a machine gun and the bullet chain was already inside the gun ready to be shot. 

   " Take this, Kars! My machine gun can fire six hundred rounds per minute and shred through armor plating like it was made of paper. It'll whittle you down into tiny pieces in no time at all. "

   " His body's mechanical, too? "

   " Why does this happen? " I asked no one in particular.

He started firing the bullets at Kars and I could see the bullets flying out of his machine gun. His hands were behind his head and I was surprised that his body wasn't falling from the force of the machine gun firing. The force of the bullets shot Kars through the window and destroyed his fedora. I was stunned by how many bullets were leaving Stroheim and how the force of so many forced Kars through the glass window. The cold air outside flew inside and made me shiver. Stroheim jumped outside and continued to shoot at Kars, but Kars's blade started glowing. 

   " That light, the blade coming out of his arm is glowing. "

   " I can control light. Behold, Brilliant Bone Blade. "

   " That's it. " I whispered.

   " What is it Y/n? "

   " Esidisi controlled heat, fire. Wamuu controls the wind, we never knew what Kars can manipulate or control. Now we know. "

He started hitting all of the bullets away. Not one bullet hit him again. Some were deflected and some were split in half. I ducked as bullets came hurtling back at us and some ingraining themselves into the wood beside us. JoJo ducked as well. Most of the bullets Kars split in half fell to the ground but some would hit the blade and bounce back towards us. I wanted to hide further away from the flying bullets before one hit me.

   ' We need to get out of sight quick before one hits u-'

   " AGH! "

I grabbed my arm as I felt a searing pain. I looked down and saw that a bullet went clean through my arm. 

   " Y/n! "

   ' I jinxed it. Well, at least I know how it feels to be shot. '

I looked at JoJo and he looked concerned. I shook my head and pointed towards the fight with Kars. I put my hand over the hole in my arm and squeezed it. 

   " Look closer at the blade as he approaches. I'll be fine, but pay attention so we know what we're going against. "

Kars started running towards Stroheim and when his blade got closer I could see razors on the edge of the blade. They moved around the blade as a chainsaw's chain would. The chain of claws was moving so fast that they couldn't be seen. Making the manipulated light bounce on the blade and we could never have seen the claws. He sliced through Stroheim and I felt sweat leave my forehead.

   " We--we can't win this. At least not with my weapons or any modern technology that I know of. We can't defeat him. "

Stroheim fell into the snow in limb parts. Kars grabbed Stroheim and lifted him up, out of the snow.

   " Now, I'll take that stone. "

   " Kars, what the hell? " JoJo asked gritting his teeth. 

Kars started walking away, carrying Stroheim with him. JoJo started following them from a small distance. I followed them, knowing that he wouldn't be able to handle that bone blade alone. He looked back at me and shook his head, silently telling me to stay back. I shook my head back and continued with him. I tore my sleeve off and wrapped it around my bullet wound as we walked.
