บท 39: 39. Killer Queen Part IV ~Will Rock U~
The two watch Yoshiko Kira from on top of a building.
"3 Billion People left in the world," laughed Miguel.
"So... Jessica... How did the two of you know how Bites the Dust works?" asked Miguel.
"I actually... already went against her myself," said Jessica. Miguel is interested in this as he immediately turns to her.
"It always ended badly, with her using Bites the Dust to erase more than half of the world's population just to show what she should do," said Jessica. "I learned how her powers work. I learned with how every one of her Stand functions."
"And how did you figure out that her Stands disable Bites the Dust?" asked Miguel.
"I died," said Jessica.
"Wait-..." said Miguel. "You're not our-?"
"No... I'm in the body of my Time Remnant," said Jessica.
"Your... Time-what?" asked Miguel.
"A time remnant," she explained. "It's my clone. When two timelines cannot decide which one of themselves should exist because of a Speedster, the timelines fuse. But, the two Speedsters remain in the new fused timeline. The other Speedster is mindless and the timeline's chosen Speedster is sentient and can wield the Time Remnant. When I died, my consciousness transferred to my Time Remnant's."
"Who taught you about these... Time Remnant... things?" asked Miguel.
"Some guy from another Multiverse," she replied. "He calls himself The Flash."
"Stand-User?" he asked.
"Metahuman," she replied. "Shall we go, JoJo?"
Yoshiko sense Stand Energy and Bites the Dust appears in Miguel's eyes.
"Shit!" shouted Yoshiko, realizing who that Stand-User is. She looks outside, and to her dismay, it's Miguel.
"Let's cut to the crap," said Miguel. "I tried disguising myself, but I realized you're too smart to fall for that idea of mine... So let's cut the crap.I'm gonna beat the shit outta you for killing the people I love."
"Okay," she smiled. "Then approach all you like."
As Star Platinum emerged, Kira immediately leaped backward.
"You fucking coward," Miguel roared.
"You're lucky that I can't kill you MIGUEL JOJO!!!" shouted Yoshiko.
*zoom*
"What was-?"
"ORA!!!" shouted Star Platinum, grabbing her face then shaking it. "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!" shouted Miguel, as Star Platinum punched Yoshiko over and over again. Kira ends up blocking the attack with Killer Queen's fist.
Kira then punched Star Platinum away.
*CRASH*
A car is thrown off the road by her attack. Miguel stops time and saves the man and woman from inside the car. Resuming time, the car explodes as Miguel covers the people.
"GO!!!" shouted Miguel, as they ran away out of fear.
"Killer Queen: WILL ROCK U!!!" she shouted, as a flower appears out of Killer Queen's chest. Its chest opens, revealing a flower inside.
Then...
*click*
*BOOM*
Several abandoned cars nearby explode as the people around them run away.
Kira stayed on her spot as Miguel ran toward her.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!!" shouted Miguel.
Kira ran backward as the cars around him explode. A woman is nearly crushed by the car as Miguel swooped in and save her.
"You still care for the people who shunned you?" asked Kira.
"Ew! Look at him! He turned into this ugly blue thing!"
"You still care for these people who laughed at you? Mocked you? Turned you into this angry rage-driven man who is still searching for his purpose in this world?" asked Yoshiko Kira. "You kill for no other reason than vengeance... That is your purpose, Miguel JoJo."
*click*
Miguel detects Stand Energy coming from the car to his left. The car explodes. Miguel stops time and saves a little girl wearing pink ponytails with red hair who was nearly crushed by the car beside the exploded one. A woman grabs the little girl Miguel was holding, thanked Miguel, and runs away.
More bubbles came out from her chest going in every direction.
"STOP THIS!!!" shouted Miguel.
"No," she smiled sadistically. She licked her lips and prepared to flex her thumb.
"I WILL JOIN YOU!!!" shouted Miguel.
"What's that?" asked Yoshiko.
Miguel knelt on the ground and put his hands behind his head.
"I'll join you," said Miguel. "Just stop... doing this. What are you? Insane!?"
Yoshiko kicks Miguel in the face over and over again. She grabs his face and beats it with her fist.
"How do you like it?" she asked in a monotonous voice. "How do you like being the one beneath the other?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Miguel, as he spits out blood. "Is this about Salvi needing to capture me or whatever?"
"You know... If you only allowed yourself to be captured before all this happened..." she said. "You wouldn't have lost all of your little friends."
Killer Queen appears and beats his face.
"SHIBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBO!!!" shouted Killer Queen. Miguel's nose and face bled as blood dripped to the ground.
She then slides her finger from his ear down his chin.
"You may be my brother... but hot damn..." she sneered with her fangs slowly coming out.
She takes a scoop of his blood and mouths her fingers drinking all the blood.
*gulp*
"I'm gonna kill you," said Miguel.
"And there you are, again, and your fight for vengeance," she said.
"It isn't just vengeance..." he whispered. "Why does everyone keep saying that this is all just for vengeance?"
"Then what is it for?" asked Yoshiko. "You got your mother back, Miguel."
"At the cost of 3 billion innocent people," said Miguel. "You murdered billions of people to give me what I want?"
"To keep you out of my way," said Yoshiko.
"Then why'd you do it, Yoshiko Kira?" asked Miguel.
"Why are you doing this little crusade of yours? Answer that first, and I'll tell you..." she smiled.
"My entire life... my father told me that I could become the worst of myself..." he whispered. "So I thought that everything I'll try to do to save myself from that fate would be useless... So my dad basically... carved out this path for me to follow... He wanted me to become a lawyer... so I studied to become one. He wanted me to become a Grimm... so I acted like one. Even though I carry Vampiric blood... I tried to stay on this path. This path is the right way...But then my mother died.This was in response to my father's actions... But if there was just one thing that allowed me to escape my fate... then that's good enough for me..."
Yoshiko smiled.
"You want to live a normal... peaceful... life," she smiled.
"I want to be normal," said Miguel. "I wanna live peacefully. I'm tired of being bizarre... I'm tired of living a bizarre life."
"I understand what you mean, Miggy," she smiled.
"Don't you dare call me that," he whispered.
"Same for me, brother," smiled Yoshiko. "I want to live peacefully."
"You murdered hundreds of innocent people for their hands in our original timeline. Here, you killed billions," he replied.
"Yes," said Yoshiko. "There is that... small addiction I've done."
"Addiction?" asked Miguel. "You kill people."
"So do you," said Yoshiko.
"I kill people who kill other people," said Miguel.
"And I kill people who are innocent," Kira replied. "What's the difference, Miguel? When you were a kid, you believed that there is no such thing as good or bad people... just good or bad actions."
"Yes," said Miguel.
"Then what gives?" asked Kira. "Why do you kill them?"
"Because it's logical!" shouted Miguel. "What? Who am I? Batman? Daredevil? I just beat the criminals and they'd go back to their jail cells and afterward they'd just get bailed out by corrupt politicians and the wealthy? When I take them down they stay down."
"And what will you do when you live peacefully?" asked Yoshiko. "What's your purpose? Continue to ease your hate toward humanity by continuing to murder criminals on your street?"
"Yes! No!" shouted Miguel.
"Then what will you do?" asked Yoshiko.
The two stare at each other silently.
"See? You're just as addicted as I am," said Yoshiko.
"I have my family..." said Miguel.
"What?!" asked Yoshiko.
"You and Salvi like being alone, right? That's your version of a peaceful life," said Miguel. "Do you know what 'Hay Naku' means?It's the Filipino translation of 'Oh brother', 'Good grief', or 'Gimme a break'. It's a basic Filipino sigh.That's what I want... a break...But I have what you don't... a family..."
Yoshiko's left eyebrow twitches.
"You're going to die alone, Yoshiko Kira," smiled Miguel. "That's our difference. That's why you'll lose. You don't care about anyone else except yourself."
"And you seem to care too much about the people around you," smiled Yoshiko.
"Yes... That's why you'll lose... That's why I will win... That's why I'll become the person you'd never achieve to be!!! THAT'S WHY YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME, YOSHIKO KIRA!!!" shouted Miguel, pointing at her.
*SPLAT*
*gasp*
Miguel looks down as Killer Queen's index and middle fingers tore through his right breast.
Miguel gasps for breath as he bleeds from his right chest.
"I could have killed you then and there," smiled Kira. "But I decided that I need to live to... well... live peacefully."
"With that logic, you should also be peaceful to live peacefully," chuckled Miguel.
"Shut the fuck up," said Yoshiko, kicking Miguel to the ground. "Smartass..."
Killer Queen's chest closes up.
"ORA!!!"
*POW*
(theme begins)
"Hay Naku..." said Miguel, gasping for breath as he slowly stood up. Yoshiko's face had broken as she trembled in pain. Miguel grabbed her arm before she toppled over to the ground. "You honestly thought... *gasp*... a little flesh wound would keep me down? *gasp*... I'll take you down with a single ORA Rush... *gasp*..."
"I'll kill you..." she hissed, as she finally woged into a Nekomata.
Miguel smiled and savored this moment.
"I made you woge out of rage... fear... and confusion..." said Miguel.
"I'll-!"
"Shush!" said Miguel, stopping Yoshiko. "Ah... moment savored. I believe I was talking about how your fate is currently within my hands."
"I just wanted to live peacefully... These past few days have been so awful..." she whispered. "I'll kill you... I'll kill you all... I'll take your hands and fuck each of the stumps that were where you used to be. I'll fuck the flesh in your hands. I'll use your fingers and put them inside me... That's how I'll insult what's left of you..."
Time stopped.
He then pinched the bill of his hat with his right hand and slid his hand from left to right.
"Hay Naku..." said Miguel. "Wala kang kwenta."
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA-!!!"
*POW POW POW BOOM POW POW POW POW POW POW POW*
"WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!"
*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*
Time resumed.
*CRACK*
*SPLORGE*
*SPLASH*
Yoshiko was thrown into the wall and explodes into guts and blood.
However, she was still alive, trembling on the ground.
"I wanted you to suffer for each and everything you've done to all of your victims," said Miguel. "So I didn't kill you, you bitch."
She gasped as she trembled in pain.
She then trembled and reached for his hand. She licks it.
Miguel, disgusted, immediately pulled his hand away.
"Why are you like this?" asked Miguel.
"When I was a kid... My neighbor would always visit our home asking for a manicure from my mother... and I watched her gracefully show off her hands on the table. I would sneak around and watch her hands from the distance... Watch them stretch and move in such a dirty way... I saw my neighbor's hand. I snuck into her room... I remember that she was listening to a song on her iPod. Her room smelled like strawberries. I snuck into her room when the window was open with a knife in my hand. I slit her throat from behind like in the movies Mom had me watch and stabbed her over and over again... There was so much blood. Then I touched myself with those hands of hers... I wanted a souvenir, so it took me three minutes to cut off both her hands. I had those hands for a while... kept them under my bed. When my mom began to suspect something... I decided to cook the hands and eat them... then I buried the bones in my backyard..." she cackled. "Humans taste awful, by the way."
Miguel stared at her with no emotion at all. He just stood there, looking at her with contempt.
"I feel sorry for you," he said. "I don't know what made you snap... I don't know what turned you into what you are... According to your files... you had no form of abuse from your mother. You weren't bullied. You were having the time of your life. You just decided to kill someone."
"You're just like me... Miguel JoJo..." she laughed... as she slowly woged into an Aswang. "No..." she gasped.
"Oh... you're a chimera," said Miguel. "Just like me... that explains a lot, actually..."
"Don't look at me..." she gasped. "This... This is embarrassing... STOP... LOOKING AT ME!!!" she hissed. She began sobbing and laughing on the ground. She shrieked psychotically and trembled as if she was having a tantrum. "STOP IT!!! STOP IT!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!" She then stopped screaming and began laughing.
*zoom*
"Jesus," said Jessica. "I got the arrow," she replied.
Miguel nodded. "Get us outta here."
Jessica grabbed Miguel and zoomed away.
Yoshiko is left cackling on the ground.
Later...
Miguel and Jessica entered the bunker with Miguel holding the Stand Arrow.
"What do we do with this, exactly?" asked Miguel.
"Stab yourself with it," smiled his mother.
"Wait... what?" asked Miguel. "I thought even just a small prick-..."
"No," smiled Maria. "You have to stab yourself with it."
Miguel silently stared at the Stand Arrow.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" asked Maria.
"I-I-I-I... I don't want you to go, Mom..." he laughed softly. "I-I-I... I really don't want this... this timeline to go... I don't-..."
Miguel began to sob as Maria hugged her son.
"My story in this world already ended..." she laughed. "I was never meant to be here... It was my fate to die that night... It was my fate that created you..."
The two silently hugged each other.
"I've been meaning to ask..." said Miguel letting go. "What am I?"
"You're a person, Miguel," she laughed.
"Then... who am I?" he laughed softly. "What is my fate? Am I meant to be a destroyer? Am I meant to be a savior?"
"Yes... you can't go against what's supposed to happen..." said Maria.
"We're supposed to lose?" asked Miguel.
"I don't know," she laughed.
"'A man with the blood of both the blessed and the damned will come as an Angel of DEATH. It is his fate to destroy THE WORLD using the very magic of the Blessed: HAMON. Thus comes the man's REQUIEM. Through the Angel of DEATH, we could only achieve the world's FATE. Like TIME or GRAVITY, the river's destination is HEAVEN. After such, all worlds will fall.'So... that's it?" asked Miguel. "I'm supposed to be the guy who ends all worlds...?"
"What matters isn't who they say you'll be..." she smiled. "What matters is who you say you'll be... Who you say you are. Who are you?"
Miguel stared at the arrow in his hand silently.
"I am Miguel JoJo and I have a dream."
*SPLAT*
The arrow immediately entered Miguel's palm and went through his arm and out of his shoulder. It was then shot out and stabbed Jessica's hand. It melted into her palm as well and went through her arm and out of her shoulder.
"Bye, Mom..." he whispered. "I love you..."
"I love you, too," she replied, smiling and teary-eyed.
Time disappeared.
Time resumed.
