In Mexico, in an underground facility.
-...You are wrong, Speedwagon. It was me, Stroheim, that kept you alive.
Stroheim was a tall and strong German men, he had blond hair with blue eyes, he wears a range of official Nazi military attire.
Then he snapped his fingers, making a man carrying a cart enter the room. Above the cart was a single syringe.
-And it was the technology of our German army THAT MADE YOU ABLE TO SPEAK AGAIN!
-Even if you are old now, we know you are a man that will not bend. When you were almost dying in the desert you found Oil, and became one of the most powerful men in the modern world…
-BUT! OUR GERMAN MEDICAL SCIENCE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD! THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN'T DO!
-Truth serum?! Is there still something you want me to say?
…
This coffee is pretty bad. I said while filming their conversation on the side. I was currently a the dark corner, using Hamon to make their brain incapable of registering my existence.
…
A few hours later
-Major Stroheim! The pillar man power is still unknown… We think that giving him too much energy may be risky.
-Uhum!
-But how is he absorbing the blood? NO, wait, I can think by myself.
...
-Why are you afraid? Speedwagon.
-...Don't underestimate him!
-Listen, this place is…
He talked about how "impenetrable this place was"
-...Are you afraid of bears in a zoo? NO! He is only a prehistoric man that lived too much!
/Crunch!/
/Blerug!/
-Something is spiling! Said a scientist
-Its blood! Said another one
-We can't see anything!
The pillar where the man was started to break apart unleashing blood into the cage.
-USE THE EXTINGUISHERS!
Water started to drop from the ceiling.
The man from the pillar then fell to the ground, moving just like any person.
-HE IS ALIVE, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER HUMAN! Said a scientist
Stroheim then named him Santana, but he soon started to mock him for his lack of coordination.
-...Haa… Anyway, It's time for the experiment. Let him enter.
From down in the cage, a door opened...
-WHAT IS THAT?! Asked Speedwagon
-Its a vampire, we put the mask on him.
The vampire then attacked Santana only to be absorbed by him.
-HE ISN'T HAVING ANY PROBLEMS… SANTANA IS ABSORBING HIM! said Stroheim
-What a life form! The mask transforms someone into his food! He… He gained all of the energy the vampire had! He commented.
-What should we do Major!? Asked a soldier.
-No need to panic! He can't leave the cage!...
-S...tro...Heim. Said Santana
-MY NAME?! HOW CAN HE HEAR US?!
But then, one of the scientists looked elsewhere to take notes. When he looked back, Santana had disappeared.
…
-He must be hidden somewhere! Someone displayed the footage! Said Stroheim
The footage showed how Santana broke his body down into a size capable of passing through a small ventilation gap 20cm X 4cm.
-DON'T APPROACH THE VENTILATION! YOU THERE, GO AWAY! Screamed Stroheim towards a soldier.
But the dumb soldier wanted to die so he stuck his face into the ventilation to see what was inside.
Santana obviously took this chance.
He pierced his eyes and entered his body, in order to absorb the flesh and energy inside.
The Pillar man tribe is a race of humanoid monsters. They used to live underground away from their greatest weakness: The sun.
Their diet consists of the energy within living beings, but they can eat other things to get energy as well. Like vampires, they can modify their bodies, but to a much greater degree. The only way for them to die is for you to deal great amounts of damage into their brain, without giving them a chance to regenerate, or Using Hamon.
Hamon stops their regeneration and overall superpowers.
The Pillar man in the series used the stone masks to evolve further, but it wasn't enough to become "perfect" and immune to the sun.
Currently, the Pillar man can greatly alter their bodies, but they can change it into something else completely.
For example, They can alter their arm bones by protruding an extra sharp appendage, making something like a blade. Then, they can have many small sharp teeth run along their length, creating a very bizarre chainsaw.
(Check the wiki for some crazy abilities.)
...
From here the fight happened almost like in the original series, the only difference being that Speedwagon wasn't as fearful as in the original.
(ST-Stroheim R/SW Robert Speedwagon)
...
I looked at their fight, and in my opinion, they couldn't be any luckier. Santana might be the weakest pillar man, but he is still one. There were many times he could've killed both of them, but his lack of control over his awakened body stopped him from doing so.
They had just managed to bring Santana to the surface to expose him to sunlight but he at the last moment entered Stroheim's wound, trying to control him.
Stroheim had decided to die so he began to explain why they awakened Santana and how there were more pillar men in Europe. They were trying to find a weakness so that they could save humanity from them.
He triggered a grenade, ready to die with Santana.
But not today.
-Goodbye, your ass of a British man!
-Enough drama. I said while appearing from behind him.
I picked the grenade and disassembled it in a second before it could explode.
-What are doing!
I directed a wave directly into his body surprising both of them
-AHHH! Santana's scream was heard from the inside of this body.
He then jumped away from ST's body into the scalding sun.
Before he could even react, I punched him in the face with a wave.
/CRACK!/
/AHH!/
/Crunch crunch/
-WHO ARE YOU?! Said Santana.
-Few… [Verdant Piercer].
I calmly used an overdrive technique before he had the chance to flee towards the dark.
My leg turned into a green afterimage as it pierced Santana's abdomen.
-AHHH! But I got you…
-Are you sure?
/CUT!/
I pulled my leg to the side, ripping his chest in half.
-How?! A human isn't supposed to have this strength! My body muscles are tougher than Steel!
-Yes they are, but you aren't in your optimal state. Goodbye.
I just looked at him as he turned into stone. His body is too valuable to destroy.
-My work is done. Jojo, can you go and get Robert? Remember to grab Stroheim's leg on the way.
-Who… Forget it! Speedwagon comes first. He then sped towards the base, not before throwing a leg in our direction.
I looked towards the confused german Major in front of me.
-I won't mock you for what you did here. You tried your best for the greater good, but your greed to hog all of the glory and knowledge, plus your arrogance led you here. You know about vampires but didn't even try to raise a Hamon master? This is stupidity at its finest.
-ARGG!
-I think the pain is too much. Let me help you.
I placed his leg back in place and used the wave to heal it together with all hidden injuries. Santana had broken dozens of bones and absorbed some flesh and muscle in order to make space for himself.
-Ahh, ahh.
-Better now?
-Who are you? Your wave is much stronger than the Joestar!
(My theory is that Stroheim didn't know about the wave per se, only the unit in Italy knew about it. But that doesn't make much sense. Why would they hog such precious knowledge that could significantly boost the entirety of the German army?)
-That's the difference between a master and an untrained talent. Oh, It seems he is coming.
-Are you ready to tell me who you are?
-Of course. I knew you'd come here through the desert, but something got to my attention on the way so I arrived a little late and couldn't come with you. I am…
Question of the day. What has more potential? Nen or Haki?
Its from Hunter x Hunter and One piece
Thank you for reading! Until next chap.
The first Pillar man down, quite easily in fact...
1350 words.
I have been making a lot of alterations in the draft chapters, I just can get myself to like what I did...
I already have the story planned out, but I just can't seem to be able to put everything together.
My head hurts a bit, my clogged brain is working on overdrive.
Thank you for reading! Until next chap.
