บท 161: 161. "Sirenhead"
"Sirenhead?" asked Lord, as he pours himself some brewed coffee. "He's real?"
"Yeah," said Lei. "Miguel assigned us to fight him off in a... *GASP!!!* Friday Night Funkin' Game!? Wait... No... That's what Anne's inviting me to. Miguel's asking for your help to hunt down Sirenhead."
"Seems easy enough," said Lord.
"Anything wrong, sweetie?" asked Lei.
"Nothing," smiled Lord. "It's all good."
Meanwhile...
Cat's Eye, the Gem from the last episode, carves the Diamond Rune on the ground and whispers a prayer while she stayed in the cell.
"-...For Bill..."
25 years ago...
Miguel steeples his fingers as he stood at the front seat of his class.
"What's the answer, Mr. Bean?" asked the teacher.
Miguel stands up and approaches the teacher.
"ORA!!!"
*CRACK*
*SPLAT*
The teacher drops to the ground as his jaw is fractured.
He gasps in pain.
"You're not allowed to use your Stand in school!" he sobbed.
"So you do know what's going on," whispered Miguel.
Miguel is wearing a baseball cap and trench coat. He also attached a golden chain on the left collar.
"Who arranged this school for me?" asked Miguel, as his eyes became deadly.
"YOU COULD BE EXPELLED IF YOU-!!!"
Miguel grabs him by the neck and drags him up on the chalkboard.
"Talk or hospital," Miguel growled. "For so many years I've suffered in this school arranged by someone. I could just feel that this is a prison. Not an education system."
"This is not-... *GASP*... Fine! It's a Cryptid School!" he growled, as he woges into a Kitsune.
Miguel slams him on the table, breaking his spine as Miguel leaves class. Miguel snaps his fingers as twelve normies and Jessica Polnareff follow after him. So did Weeb Town, who left class just to follow Miguel.
Anne brings out Sticky Fingers, blocking the Principal's Office.
"Miguel!" yelled Anne. "You do not want to challenge my father."
"Get out of my way, Anne," Miguel growled. "That man had been controlling my life for the last nine years."
"Miguel... Your anger is making you crazy," said Miguel.
"Making me crazy?" asked Miguel. "I am not acting crazy. I am not made crazy. I am 'the crazy'. I am insanity. I am what lurks into your feeble minds, slamming the fucking walls to tear them down and wreak havoc using your perverse bodies to burn the world. If you don't let me kill that man-..."
"You murdered him, didn't you? You murdered Nick!" yelled Anne.
"What!? No!" yelled Miguel. "I am nothing like that coward."
"You are acting just like him!" yelled Anne.
"I am not a murderer, Anne. I am a politician," said Miguel. "I am meant to rule. And how can I fucking rule IF YOU'RE STANDING IN THE GODDAMNED WAY!!!" he growled.
"What the hell happened to you, Miguel!?" asked Anne. "You used to believe in what's right! You used to save kids from drowning! You used to help people who were being bullied!"
"Yeah? Well it was easier until you get bullied yourself," said Miguel.
"So, what?" asked Anne. "That's what you want? People, to fear you?"
"I WANT THEM TO RESPECT ME!!!"
"People right now are not respecting you. They are afraid of you, Miguel."
"You're no better." Miguel pointed to her. "You abandoned me, Anne. We were best friends and you left me to feel popular with these normies. Now? Now they respect me."
"They're afraid of you, Miguel," said Anne. "What if they turn on you?"
"Then I'll stop time and tear out their fucking throats," said Miguel, psychotically sneering has his right eye is black and his left eye is blue.
"Miguel!" yelled Anne. "Stand down!"
Miguel sneers.
He stops time.
Time resumes. Miguel is already inside.
"MIGUEL!!!" she turns to the door.
Miguel faces Levi Zeppeli.
"Why, hello, JoJo," he squinted his eyes,
"You arranged this whole thing... Didn't you?" asked Miguel. "My whole school life! EVERYTHING!!!"
"No, he didn't," Arthur is brought out to the light. "I did..."
Miguel's eyes widen. "I'm sorry... What?"
"I'm trying to create a version of a timeline that would save us from Made in Heaven's User," said Arthur.
"Wait... No..." said Miguel backing away.
"I'm sorry... But I did... I did more... I chose the people you'd be friends with... Predatory Cryptids like you are," said Arthur.
Miguel's eyes went teary.
"I eliminated the people who would've harmed you... I brought you into a school where it was mostly ruled by Herbivorous Cryptids so that you would one day learn-..."
Miguel's eyes widen as Star Platinum blasted its fists toward Arthur, but Levi's Flash Gordon grabs Star Platinum's arms.
"RAUGH!!! RAUGH!!!" Miguel roared.
"Sweetie, I'm so sorry," said his mother, who comes out from the other room.
"My whole... childhood... was a lie..." Miguel whispered. "Are these kids-!?"
"No... Not even Anne knows," said Levi. "We just created a quote-unquote secret Cryptid School where Cryptids were secretly enrolled in, not knowing that they're supposed to harden you...You're a Black-Eyes, Miguel... You were supposed to assert dominance... Not... start a fucking Mafia."
"No..." growled Miguel. "You were experimenting on me!"
"Should we tell him?" asked his mother.
"What?" asked Miguel. "What could be possibly worse than-?"
His mother takes out a dead cockroach from her pocket. She takes out her Stand, a remote control, as she presses a button and the cockroach's soul, which Miguel sees, reenters the roach, bringing it back to life.
"I'm... sorry?" asked Miguel. "What's that supposed to -!?"
"You're a fusion of two souls," said his mother.
"Whose?!" asked Miguel.
"We don't know," said Arthur.
His mother looks at Arthur with contempt.
"S-So... What? I'm just an experiment? I'm supposed to be your Frankenstein's Monster?" asked Miguel.
"You're my son," said Arthur.
"Oh my God... You've been forcing my life into a direction of a politician or a lawyer! So I can battle some kind of magical destiny that YOU WANT ME TO FIGHT!!!" Miguel growled. "I'M A WEAPON!!!"
"YOU ARE MY SON!!!" yelled Arthur. "I guided you!"
"I... AM... AN... OBJECT!!!" yelled Miguel, weeping as he is still being held down by Levi. "This is all just one big FUCKING experiment so that-!"
"You wanted this!"
"YOU WANTED THIS!!! YOU... WANTED... THIS!!! I DID NOT WANT THIS!!!"
"This is bigger than you and me... My father? I didn't have a father to guide me properly... I was lazy... I did nothing my whole life until my 20's and I wasn't ready for what was to come! You know what happened, Miguel!? My best friend died! I'm making you ready!"
Levi bows his head in shame.
"You made me ready? YOU MADE ME!!! YOU... MADE... ME!!!" yelled Miguel, crying. "Shaped me into an object with a specific purpose! A purpose I didn't want! You... made... me..."
"You're my son," said Arthur.
Miguel breathed heavily.
"You are not my father," said Miguel.
Arthur felt heaviness in his chest and went teary.
"That star on your back means something," said Arthur. "You're my son..."
"It means that I'm stuck with you," said Miguel. "With all of these people... for the rest of my life..."
"You're my son."
"STOP... SAYING THAT!!! I AM NOT YOUR SON!!!"
"Yes, you are."
"The toilet must be fucking jealous with all that shit coming from your mouth. Give me one moment... A single moment where you'd do something I wanted and not what you wanted... One moment where you did something you didn't like for my sake. What? You'll die for me?" he scoffed. "Give... me... one moment... where I was your son..." his voice trembled.
Everyone outside the doors listened to this and went silent.
"ANSWER ME!!!" yelled Miguel.
Arthur trembled.
"ANSWER... ME!!!" yelled Miguel.
Levi is horrified by this. Everyone outside the room is horrified by this.
"Answer... me..." whispered Miguel.
"I've got nothing," Arthur's voice trembled.
Miguel stared at Arthur.
"You've got nothing... Haha!" Miguel covers his face. "You've g-g-got... Nothing... Hmhmhmhmhmhm... Hahahahaha... AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Miguel began to weep.
"You've got nothing!" he laughed and sobbed. "Ahahaha... Hahahahahahahahahahahaha... *gasp*... Ahah...."
Miguel sobbed as he retracts Star Platinum. Miguel knelt on the ground, sobbing.
Now... 25 years later...
Lord and Miguel enter the cave entrance.
"Weird that Steven kept Cat's Eye in a cell since 'Bubbling' *air quotes* is inhumane!" yelled Lord.
Miguel stayed silent.
"Bruthas forever?" Lord offers a brofist.
Miguel still stayed silent.
"So!" smiled Lord. "This is where the Sirenhead attacks in the forest come from, huh?"
"Yep," said Miguel, frowning.
"That sure is great!" smiled Lord.
"Uh-huh..." said Miguel.
"I sure like the place! Kinda grainy, though," said Lord.
"Hm," said Miguel.
Lord crosses his arms.
"What's wrong?" asked Lord.
"I don't wanna say. Because if I do, I'd be playing the victim," said Miguel.
"Oh, come on! Is there even a Sirenhead!? If you only called to make me feel bad, nice job and 'Hey'!"
"No. Sirenhead is real. But I found that this would be a good time for you to apologize."
"You apologize!" yelled Lord.
"For what!?"
"For acting like you're always the victim! Like you're the one who's working the hardest! For acting like you suffer the most!"
"You apologize for thinking that! God, Lord! You don't hate me because I'm acting like the victim! You hate me because I had our father in my life and you didn't!"
Lord grabs Miguel by the throat as Star Platinum encases Miguel, blocking Lord's tightened grip. Lord's eyes glow red.
"You're... so... jealous..." whispered Miguel. "You think... that you're... always... the hero... The person everyone loves... And that you deserve everything you've never gotten..."
"So do you!"
*crack*
"But the difference is that I EARNED MY SPOT ON THE TOP!!!"
Miguel blasted Lord far away and into the wall.
"Hay Naku... Wala Talagang Kwenta..." Miguel slouches as he walked toward Lord. "You're honestly so pathetic, Lord."
Lord blasts his and Crazy Diamond's punches toward Miguel, but Miguel easily dodges all of his punches by teleporting left and right all the time.
"You think you're the hero!?" Miguel punches Lord in the chest. "ORA!!!You're an idiot who takes selfies with cute girls to get the approval you've never gained from Dad!WELL GUESS WHAT!? HE NEVER APPROVED OF ANYTHING IN MY LIFE EITHER!!!"
"YES, HE DID!!! WHY AREN'T YOU THANKFUL FOR THAT!?"
Lord punches the ground and creates a wall between him and Miguel, which Miguel punches down. With Miguel distracted, Lord grabs Miguel's face and scrapes it on the cave wall as Miguel screams in pain.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!"
Lord slams Miguel on the ground.
"You think you're so entitled just because you worked for everything!? Take away your Stand, what are you!?"
"Killed of the Gods..."
Miguel teleports behind him as Lord turns around and blasts his heat vision.
Miguel teleports around over and over.
After a time-stop, Miguel is now holding a tree and slams Lord with it as Lord is thrown upward into the sky.
"FOUR!!!"
"What the hell is happening over there?" asked Sirenhead, eating a guy's head.
Miguel wooshes toward Lord and blasts his fists toward Lord over and over.
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!! WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! ORA!!!"
Lord grabs Miguel's head and knees his face, cracking Star Platinum's face.
"I'm sorry!" yelled Lord, as he backs away.
"STAR FINGER!!!"
*SPLAT!!!*
"RAUGH!!!"
Lord's eyes were burst open by Miguel's Star Finger.
Miguel slowly regenerates as he coughs blood inside Star Platinum's helmet head.
"Go... Fuck yourself... Lord..." said Miguel, crouching and panting heavily.
"Why are you never thankful for anything Dad gave you, Miguel!?" asked Lord.
"When has he cared!?" asked Miguel. "He never even acknowledged you-!"
*SPLAT*
*GASP*
Lord punched Miguel in the chest, nearly breaking Miguel's armor.
Miguel coughs massive amounts of blood as he backs away.
"Gee whiz, Miguel. There should be a top ten list about the number of times you get your ass beat," said Lord.
Miguel's eyes turn black.
"Star Platinum..."
"Don't even think about it..." said Lord.
"THE WORLD!!!"
"Go Beyond!"
Miguel stops time as Miguel offers Lord an ORA Rush. "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!! ORA!!!"
Miguel's eyes widen, as he senses something invisible spinning and moving toward him during the stopped time.
"What!?" asked Miguel.
*SPLAT*
Half of Miguel's body is paralyzed as time resumed. Miguel drops to the ground, paralyzed.
Lord wooshes toward Miguel.
"STAR FINGER!!!"
*SPLAT*
"RAUGH!!!"
Miguel's fingers go through Lord's chest, heavily injuring him.
Lord gags as he drops to the ground.
"I also... paralyzed you... by... puncturing your spine..." whispered Miguel. "...w-with my index finger..."
Lord tries to restore his own wounds using Spin.
"OH NO, YOU DON'T!!!" Miguel slams Lord's face with Star Platinum. "I don't... want to kill you, Lord... With Gold Experience Requiem, I can just... *copies the sound of an explosion*..."
Miguel slowly regenerates as he regains the ability to move his whole body once more.
"AH!!!" Miguel slowly stands up as he trembled in pain and turns to Lord. "You're so pathetic."
Meanwhile...
"No, I'm not!" yelled Anne, throwing the controller to the ground. "What the hell is with you!? You always blame me for mom's death! I was trying to save our family, Lei!"
"You were trying to save your boyfriend!" yelled Lei.
"You think you're the best, don't you!?" asked Anne. "Lei the More Beautiful! Lei the Best! Lei the Most Loved! Why, Lei!? WHY DOES DAD LOVE YOU MORE THAN ME!?"
"Are you kidding me!? You think Dad likes me more for no reason!?" asked Lei. "Dad hates you because he thinks you KILLED MOM!!!"
Anne's eyes widen. "STICKY FINGERS!!!"
*ZIP*
Lei gasps as she creates a wall of Spin-imbued Water Bubbles to block Anne's fists. Each of these bubbles is zipped in half.
Anne gulps as she sees the water that Lei wields.
"You're such a spoiled brat..." said Anne. "Do you have any idea how much I've cried over that!? And there you were tattling on me! Telling Dad everything I do like some sick cop or overbearing wannabe leader!"
"You used to sneak out with your boyfriends at night!" yelled Lei. "Of course I'd tell Dad!"
"Like you told Dad that I killed Mom and Raphael!?" asked Anne.
"I didn't say those exact words..." said Lei, with eyes quivering.
"Then why do you believe that I killed Mom... Our brother?"
"I didn't kill Mom!" yelled Anne.
"YES YOU DID!!!" yelled Lei.
Anne stares at her with guilt. Lei stared back with guilt as well.
"I didn't mean-..."
"BUENA!!!" cried both Stands, blasting their fists at each other.
"Why!?" asked Anne. "Why am I the screw-up!?"
"You're not a screw-up..." said Lei.
"Yes, I am..." wept Anne. "I got pregnant before I was married, Lei! I was kicked out of the house because of what I did! I betrayed Miguel when we were kids and he hated me for so many years, even when we were dating! I killed Mom!"
"Anne..." said Lei. "Let's just keep playing this stupid game, and-!"
"And what would've happened if I had stayed?" asked Anne.
"Look..." sighed Lei. "I didn't mean-..."
"I'm sorry," said Anne. "Mom... I'm sorry..." Anne knelt and sobbed. "Kuya Raph... I'm sorry..."
"Hey..." said Lei, brushing Anne's hair. "I don't think you're a screw-up... Daddy loves you."
"Daddy hates me!" yelled Anne. "And I can never change that! I'm so stupid! I'm always the airhead! The coward! I'm nobody!"
"You? A nobody!? Anne... If it weren't for you, the Universe would have stayed destroyed! You exchanged your limb with Miguel's! And if it weren't for you, Eradicator would've committed genocide on everyone on Dimension Prince and have started a Dictatorship there! You zipped his armor off when he was distracted! What else!? You saved Miguel from getting killed by The Reverse-Flash! You had an idea to distract Stefan (though you kinda used Gumball as a Scapegoat there and that was morally questionable) BUT STILL!!! YOU'RE A HEROINE, ANNE!!!Me!? I led a group that I couldn't control! I'm the screw-up! I almost got them killed so many times! I live in a world where I can't do anything, Anne!
I... haven't done anything like what you did...I can't live up to you, Anne...I look up to you, Ate Anne...Dad... looks up to you!And if Dad can't see that-!"
"Then what?" asked Levi, appearing behind the sofa they're on.
"Hey, Daddy!" Lei smirked nervously.
"Is... that true?" asked Anne. "That... Y-you're proud of me?"
Levi sighs. "I suppose that I have grown attached to your accomplishments in the later years."
"'Grown attached to my accomplishments?'Oh... my... GAWD!!!" giggled Anne. She hugs her dad tight. "I love you so much, Daddy!"
"I'm beginning to see why you chose Miguel, and it's creeping me out," said Lei. "But I will hug as well since it's obligatory."
The three Zeppelis hug it out...
Meanwhile...
*CRACK*
*SPLAT*
Miguel launches his fist into Lord's face once more.
*CRACK CRACK CRACK*
Miguel sees Lord's bloody and swollen face.
Miguel growls and hisses as he lies down beside him.
"I'm... sorry... I'm... sorry..." whispered Miguel.
"I'm... not... sorry..." whispered Lord. "I will never... be... sorry... for what I believe..."
"That... Dad... loves me... more... than... you...!?" asked Miguel.
The pair falls asleep... unconscious on the ground.
"NGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
In the Mindscape...
Miguel enters a room with a Television in front of him in static. There is a tape recorder next to it.
Miguel looks left and right.
"Hello?" asked Miguel. "Where am I!? Is my family okay!?"
Miguel looks around. "Huh... Dreaming... Feels like... Yep... Pain... I feel pain... Huh... Well... Guess I gotta watch whatever my subconscious is trying to tell me."
Miguel inserts the tape into the TV and plays it.
*KSSHHHH*
Arthur is shown, as Miguel's eyes widen. "Wait... What?"
"July 31, 2031," said Arthur. "Tomorrow, we're going to be fighting off Salvi... Salvi..." said Arthur. "And... I had a dream that I'm going to die... So... I have sent this message to my son... in the future... using my psychic powers... Hopefully, you'd find it one day."
Miguel looks left and right, as he pauses it.
"Hello!? Is this the work of an enemy Stand!? If this isn't real, I'll kick your ass!" yelled Miguel. Miguel sighs as he decided to play it for information.
"No... This is not the work of an enemy Stand... This is my own," said Arthur. "I'm sending this to you in the moment of need... when the Destruction of the Omniverse is nearing.I'm... sorry... for... everything."
Miguel closes his eyes and shakes his head.
"Wait... listen! Listen!" yelled Arthur. "I know that you are angry with me! I know that you're mad, and I'm so sorry that you are."
"This isn't real," said Miguel.
"This is real, Miguel," said Arthur. "Wait! Listen! I have an answer for you... that time... when you asked one time... I've got something... Many things... Remember that time when I wanted you home-schooled, right? But then... you said you wanted to enter the same school as Anne?"
Miguel's eyes widen.
"That's why I arranged for Levi to bring you into that school... Not out of pure experimentation!" yelled Arthur, but Miguel didn't listen. "Yes, I experimented on Anne but you met her again out of pure chance. You don't believe me?"
Open Arms, Arthur's purple vines, emerge from his body as Miguel hesitantly grabs one of the vines.
"You can sense... if I am telling the truth..." said Arthur. "What else... I uh... I watched the wedding."
Miguel's eyes tear up.
"Your mother and I went there in spirit form and we were happy. Spongebob! That little fellow you used... to watch in those anime cartoons you watched when you were younger... Yep! That's right! I remembered!" he laughed.
Miguel shakes his head, weeping, chuckles along with his father.
"Yeah! I... was supposed to do something really important there... But..." Arthur began to sob. "I was there... I saw you... I saw you... You were so happy... dancing with Anne on the boat."
Miguel laughs softly and sobs.
"And! And... I remembered Gabrielle! I was... I was there!" laughed Arthur. "I saw her get born... She was so little. 5 pounds, right? Premature. She came out 7 months old. But... She has a fire in her... I saw when she walked at one year old. And... Damn does she have Ricardo's eyes... And Raph? He has your spirit. I've seen his eyes. I've seen his spirit! And I hope he becomes whatever he wants to be! Not a Lawyer or anything I wanted for you or him... I wish... I wish that I could've been there... But yes... I know what's gonna happen... Salvi's gonna take me away from this world... and you won't be able to witness me seeing these... I hope that this is enough, right?
Tell Kariel and Mariam I'm also happy... They have their own tapes...
Tell them I said hi... Also Antonio... Tell him to watch his back."
Miguel laughs softly.
"And... You beat Stefan... I got a little scared... when you suffocated in space..." laughed Arthur. "I'm proud, Miguel... I'm so God-forsaken proud of you... You showed the Grimm-JoJo spirit... Even though you aren't a Grimm! I know! You're not! You're a Black-Eyes!And that Josuke fella? Tell him I said sorry for what I did to him... But... I say... You're not me... Miguel."
Miguel's smile disappears as he coughed and wept.
"You're way more... You're so much more than I'll ever be... And I'm happy... that you became the man I always wanted you to be...And I may not be your father... But I am happy... I am proud... to call you my son..."
Miguel's smile returns.
"I love you son..."
The tape ends and the TV goes back to static.
Miguel sobs and grabs his mouth.
Miguel presses the rewind button on the TV.
"I love you son..."
Miguel, still weeping, presses it again.
"I love you son..."
Miguel cried and laughed.
Miguel presses it another time.
"I love you son..."
Miguel sobs. "I love you, too, Dad."
He sits down on the floor and stares at his father's face.
Meanwhile...
Lord watched the whole thing as well.
"Kariel and Mariam... had their tapes...?" asked Lord. "Wh-What about me?"
Lord slams the Television.
"WHAT... ABOUT... ME!?"
*BZZZT*
The Television melts as Lord growled.
"Indeed! What... about... You!?"
"Gah!" Lord backed away to see a yellow 2-Dimensional triangle with an eye and stickman arms and legs floating before Lord. He warps a cane on his hand. "Who the heck are you?" his voice shook as he was about to cry.
"I'm everything you need in this fine predicament," the triangle said. "I'm kidding! That's not how I talk! British people are funny because they want to sound posh but they end up sounding elite! Like me! But the difference is that I don't need an accent to act like a god.Ngahahahahaha!"
He gives the Television a face, giving it life.
"Whoa! Hey! I'm alive!" smiled the Television.
Bill Cipher then tears out its eyes as its eyeholes bleed.
"NGAHAHAHAHAHA!!!Here! Television's eyes as retribution for Television taking yours! Ngahahaha..." he cackled.
"Y-You're insane!" Lord backed away.
"Insane's my middle name! Or is it Buford? NGAHAHAHAHA!!! Buford's such a stupid name!" smiled the triangle. "The name's Bill! Bill Cipher! Now, I'm gonna give you a special and magical deal that'll blow your mind!"
