บท 235: 235. Red Justice and The Hermit Part II
12 years ago...
*tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik*
An African-American woman walked into the master bedroom.
"Dill?" asked the woman. She gasps out of fear, seeing first a katana in her husband's jaw. Her ten-year-old son is crying in the corner.
"Oh... Oh my God..."
The older brother, John, sees Dark's blade in his father's mouth and his mother sobbing out of fear. He yelps.
"John, call the police."
Dark's demon-like wings tick thrice every second as he stared at the pair with a pair of dead eyes.
*tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik*
"Mom..." sobbed John.
"John... GO!!!"
She looks back at Dark.
Dark's gone.
*SHING*
*SPLAT*
The pair are sliced into pieces by three strikes by Dark.
The little boy sobs out of fear, seeing what Dark had done to his family...
Now...
*THWIP*
An air slice is blasted toward Dark's face as his head dodges the wind blast.
The ground beneath his head was not torn, but stones from beneath begin to crack.
Dark carved a portal in Rojo as he leaped inside.
Rojo yells, "Oh, what the fuck, man!?"
The portal on Rojo's torso closes.
*ZIM*
Dark stabs Forethought, Rojo's partner, in the face.
"I knew it!" smiled Dark. "There's another User who could see the future!"
"Shit..." whispered Rojo, as Dark teleported in front of Rojo.
Dark carves another portal and hops into it, closing it after.
Dark leaped out of the portal behind Rojo.
"RED JUSTICE!!!" yelled Rojo, blasting an air slice into Dark's arm.
*CRACK*
Dark's left arm receives a fracture as Dark gasps for air.
"Your ribs punctured your lungs, didn't they? Your breath's rather shortened... blood filling your lungs..."
Dark vomit blood as he trembled.
"Your Stand is a sword that stores kinetic energy and carves interdimensional portals... It fails in comparison to my real target..." Rojo squinted his eyes. "After I kill you, I'll kill the most dangerous Stand-User of all... Miguel JoJo!"
Dark sneers. "You have no belly button."
Rojo is dumbfounded. "Huh?"
"I warped into your torso... I didn't see a belly button... The other two that we killed didn't have belly buttons... That means... you weren't born in wombs... You are not Ambrose Jefferson... Who... What are you?"
Rojo stares at Dark. "I am..."
"No... you retain their memories... their feelings... All their love... their hate... their likes... their dislikes... But... you're not them... What are you!?" Dark backs away out of fear. "You're not a Cryptid like Simoun JoJo once fought... Not a Grimm like the JoJo family... Stand-User... yes... like Miguel fought numerously... Not an Alien... Right? Like Lord Marvel battled in the stars..."
Rojo sighs. "Aswangs..." he sighed and shook his head. "Your race is not human... I never quite understood why Miguel JoJo, who I understand is part Cryptid himself, would fight for your rights... These filths... The irony that Simoun JoJo... a Grimm... fell for an Aswang... which ended up making whatever the fucking shit Miguel is... Miguel is understandable since he's half-Grimm.But you? A filthy pure blood creature of the night? You? You think you're allowed to be a hero... You think you deserve to be a hero! No, you don't... You're an animal..."
Dark slowly regenerated and stood back up.
"Bones... heal slower... than skin... for Aswangs..." said Dark, slowly standing up. "Good thing your Stand didn't completely slice off my limbs... I would no longer have a chance..."
Rojo sighs. "Animal..."
"A lot of your hatred comes from love... as all hatred does...You think we endanger your species... as I have endangered something you loved... your family... whom I slaughtered like meat.You have to understand... people change... the world? The world can change, too! Believe me! That's what Maharlica was for... That's what it stands for..."
"Your ruler only wants to destroy America..."
"He wants to help people!"
"Do you know what Maharlica even means?"
"It came from the Tagalog word 'free man...' 'Maharlika'..." Dark slowly stood up.
"Exactly... America means something... Look, man... I was out there... I fought in the wars... I know what it's like to be awful! I know what it's like to not take the shot..."
"Your argument?"
"Your boss? He's making a country without any sense of identity or nationalism... Don't you know how dangerous that is? A country made of two hundred former nations forced to coincide with one another... A country that will blow up once the residents end up hating each other..."
"JoJo says he has faith-..."
"Look... I can agree with the man in one thing... that he can make things right... I just don't think that forcing everyone to become one with another is the right path... People are different from one another, man... You know, that a war could come after all this?A battle for the free man?"
Dark sighs. He bows his head and thinks. "I'm a Catholic..."
Rojo scoffs. "You? A Catholic? A man who killed for money?"
"Believe me... I may kill with no honor... but still... I am human... and... the fact... that even I still have faith in a God... even at the year 2041... where everyone is too focused on stupid shit like memes... or when everyone no longer believes in God because something utterly pathetic happened to them... or others who act all edgy because of misguided beliefs... the fact that someone like me still exists along with others... means that there is still a chance... We still have a chance... I know it..."
"I don't believe in God."
"I know... And I respect that... At least you're not some dumb teenager who was rejected but then got all edgy... which is actually kinda cringe... Hahaha!'Ooh... I got rejected. God ain't real.'"
Rojo fumes with rage.
"Just adding some comedy..."
"It isn't funny since you killed my family."
"I know... But I'm trying to be better..."
"Scum always stays as is. Scum."
"If Angels have the worst faults because it proves that they are imperfect then Demons have the holiest deeds because they prove Heaven that they could do more..."
Rojo sighs... then... he laughed. He simply laughed at everything Dark said. "You're funny, man... Real funny!"
"I'm trying to tell you that there is a way for people to redeem themselves-..."
"Redeem...? Nah, Nah, Nah... You ain't allowed to have any chance for redemption... You're a murderer, Dark."
"I CAN CHANGE!!!"
Rojo stares at Dark. He scoffs. "Yeah... right..."
Dark's breath went shaky. "I'm just an Aswang... just a man... Even people who the rest of the world consider the baddest of the bad are people, too..."
"You're tryin' to ask for forgiveness? Shit!" laughed Rojo. "You're so pathetic!"
"Because if you don't... I'm going to show you what I can do... I won't hold back... I promise you... I won't..." Dark slouches slightly and prepares his blade.
"On three... One... two..." Rojo smiles as he blasted his blade. "Three-!!!"
*SHING SHING SHING SPLAT*
Dark and Rojo froze as they raise their blades toward each other...
Dark squints his eyes at Rojo.
Rojo spits out blood and knelt on the ground as his arms slowly slide off, being chopped off completely. "M-M-...Mercy..."
"Mercy?" sneered Dark. "Oh, please... After your stubbornness? I warned you... I warned you... I told you... That I won't hold back..."
"You're smiling... Look at you... you sick fuck... You're enjoying this... This... What you're doing... It's fucking disgusting... and you're smiling..."
Tears drop to the ground.
"I hate this..." whispered Dark.
"Then why do you keep doing it?"
"Because I have nothing left to do!" Dark tightened his grip on his katana, pointing it at the young man. "I don't kill children... I'm not supposed to kill children... The thought that you were that child... I felt so bad for... and the fact that I cut through you and tore off your arms... Makes me sick... WHY!? WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS!?"
"Because you're awful... Dark... You're an awful person... You can never change... You will never change..."
Dark bows his head and lowers his katana. "FUCK!!!" He grabbed his hat and threw it into the ground. He paces left and right, trying to think of what to do next, grabbing his ears in anxiety.
"You're afraid of what you're going to do next... Hm? Come on... Kill me... Just like everyone else you killed..."
Dark pants as he continues to pace left and right.
"Ah... You're beginning to see that the things you take... Are human lives... People with dreams like yours... feelings like yours... memories like yours... You're realizing right now... at this moment... that you've been killing people that are what they are... people...We were all once children, Dark..."
Dark looks at Rojo's unmasked face, as lightning flashes in the eyes, and for a split second, Dark saw the young man's younger self.
Dark vomits on the ground.
"Oh... Dark... Pitiful Dark... Killing people... Realizing that these people were once children as well... innocent children who played in the garden... Who were curious and dumb... They were filled with innocence and dreams like no other... Children who grew up... and you chopped them down..."
"STOP TALKING!!!"
"Realizing that being a bad guy... Isn't that great after all... The bodies' eyes... They're flashing in your mind like... BAM!!!"
Dark vomits once more.
"Their cold dead eyes... You didn't have the balls to stare into them... The key is to not think about it, right? Right!? Look at what you've done, Dark!"
"NO!!!"
"LOOK!!! YOU FUCKING DISGUST ME!!! LOOK!!!"
"NO!!!"
"COME ON, YOU SCUM!!!"
Dark removes his ragdoll mask and grabs Rojo's face and sees his eyes... Rojo's eyes... were just like his eyes when Dark chopped down his family... Afraid... Human...
"You like this, Dark? Killing people like they are poultry?"
Dark's grip on Rojo's face trembled.
Rojo spits blood into Dark's face.
"You're just like Salvi..."
"STOP TALKING!!!"
"A murderer... who doesn't care about human life... Fucking scum..."
"STOP... TALKING!!!"
Rojo sneers. "Do it."
"What?"
"What you were going to do... Do it... Snap my fucking neck."
"No..." sobbed Dark. "No, no, no, no, no..."
"Do... it..." hissed Rojo. "I know you want to... It's in your blood..."
"I'M A BETTER MAN THAN MY FATHER!!!"
Rojo laughs. "KILL ME!!!"
"NO!!!"
"Come on..." sneered Rojo.
Dark's eyes glowed blue as he stared deep into Rojo's eyes. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!!"
*POW*
"FUCK!!!" Dark drops to the ground knocked out completely.
"I'm sorry, but our boss needed a bird. We're giving it to him."
Yuki takes out Rick's portal gun and shoots out a portal with it.
Rojo vomits blood.
Yuki sighs and gives Rojo a smartphone.
"Call the authorities with it. It's an extra smartphone JoJo gave me," said Yuki. "Consider this mercy."
Yuki enters the portal, carrying Dark into it.
The portal closes as the rain pours down on Rojo.
"Well?"
"I'm sorry, Boss... He got away..."
"Ah, well..."
"Also..." said Rojo. "Forethought's dead... and... I... don't have arms..."
"Well, shit."
Meanwhile...
"So... she put a bra into your purse and she was arrested for shoplifting?" asked Hercules.
Miguel nods softly.
"Why were you carrying a purse?"
"That's what you got from my statement!?"
"Why would a man use a purse?"
"IT'S 2041 AND GET IN THE GODDAMNED TIMES, ASSHOLE!!!"
"Chill, Mr. JoJo!"
"Okay! Sheesh!"
"So... she put a bra... in your male purse."
"JUST CALL IT PURSE!!!" Miguel growled as his eyes glowed blue and his teeth turned into needle-like fangs.
"OKAY!!!" yelled Hercules. "She put it in your purse while you were exiting the-...?"
"Women's Clothing store," said Miguel.
Hercules stares at Miguel.
"WHAT!?" growled Miguel.
"Nothing."
"OH!? YOU WANNA GO, ASSHOLE!? I CAN PUT HOLES IN THE FUCKING SUN!!!"
"CALM DOWN, MR. JOJO!!!"
"Sorry! Sorry!"
Miguel puts another Nicotine patch in his arm.
"You smoked!?"
"I had a dark past. I'm a relatable character because I have a depressing origin story. CAN WE GET TO THE POINT, HERACLES!?"
"Fine... Your daughter's insecure about her breast size!"
Miguel gives a dumbfounded look. "That doesn't make sense! Anne has huge-!"
Hercules shakes his head.
"Moderately... Averagely... No... They're big enough!"
"No... I think it comes from your side of the family..."
"ARE YOU CALLING ME FLAT!?"
"No!"
"ARE YOU CALLING MY MOTHER FLAT!?"
"NO!!! EW!!! YOU HAVE THOUGHTS LIKE THAT!?"
"What!? Pfft..."
Hercules stares at Miguel JoJo. "..."
"Whatever! What the hell do I do!?"
"I don't know... sports bra! Buy her one! In secret!"
"Why would I do-!? Oh... I see...! Thank you for your work, Hercules!"
*zim*
Yuki enters the portal and drops Dark on the floor.
"I'm going to masturbate in the hot tub. No one uses the bathroom," said Yuki, as she places the birdcage on the counter and runs upstairs.
"Yuki... I think you're fractured!" yelled Miguel.
"NOPE!!!"
"Fuckin' masochist..." Miguel sighed. "What's with you and why do you smell like vomit?"
Miguel squints his eyes. "Oh... You had an epiphany about killing people, huh?"
Dark slowly stands up and dizzily keeps his feet steady.
"You know... Hating yourself isn't that healthy. If you keep doing it, that's even worse."
"What do you suggest I do, then?"
"I don't know... Do a hobby... I suggest farming-..."
"I murdered people, JoJo."
Dark points his katana to Miguel's neck. Miguel is unphased.
"I murdered EVERYONE!!! Then I realized that they used to be children-..."
"No shit, Sherlock..."
"SHUT UP!!! What if your daughter becomes evil, hm? You'll kill her?"
"Likely not."
"EXACTLY!!! I'M... I'M WEAK!!!"
"You're not weak... you're just psychologically healthy enough to realize that what you did was wrong..."
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RIGHT OR WRONG!!!"
"That's not true. Um... Here's an example. 'One plus one equals the square-root of 9.'"
"Fuck..." Dark sits back down on the couch. "Okay... that example actually made sense just now."
"Even though morality is just a system based on thought it is inherently a truth in humanity. The fact that humans are too stupid and care too much about other people... Imagine the things we could do if we didn't care... In the end... those people would be monsters... Like our dad... Salvi...Remember, Dark... The fact that you cared... even though that it's not enough... It proves that you're not scum like them."
"You're like the weird older brother I never had..." said Dark.
"And you're like a weird great little brother that desperately is in need of my guidance..." sighed Miguel. "Hay Naku..."
Meanwhile...
Kariel wakes up in bed.
"What's wrong, honey?" asked Antonio.
"I sensed a disturbance."
Meanwhile-meanwhile...
Lord wakes up in bed.
"What's wrong, honey?" asked Lei.
"Nothing that matters, babe," said Lord.
Now...
"Welp..." sighed Dark. "What do you suggest I do?"
"Find a hobby... Get your mind off of it for a while and enjoy your life..." smiled Hercules.
"I like farming," smiled Miguel.
"I like fishing," smiled Hercules.
"Alright... thanks, guys..." smiled Dark.
"FUCK YEAH, BIG BIRD!!!" yelled Yuki.
"Your girlfriend's disgusting, by the way," said Miguel.
"I..." Dark bowed his head in shame. "I know..."
"JoJo, that's mean!" scolded Hercules.
"I literally don't care," said Miguel.
