Too strong to even bother.

"The pinnacle" is something that I have thought about a lot recently.

Is it the pillar man? Or is it a crazy powerful Stand like The world?

How do I fare against those, after years of training? And possibly even more. Will I be "invincible" as long as I have time to train myself?

(not considering Stands that are literally hacks)

… I don't know. But I will soon know, at least for one of them.

I sat in my chair and started to read the papers on top of it.

[Intricacies of the Cerebellum] [Behind the eyes: Frontal Lobe], [Experiment N-2195] and more.

My research on the brain never stopped. At this point in time, I have already dissected more Human brains than I could count. They were all from already deceased people of course.

But my progress hit a massive wall recently, that being the trigger.

What triggers the transformation in the first place?

Let's see. You put the Mask on, you put blood in it, it activates and several needles pierce your brain, then… Something happens, and the transformation begins.

I already studied the area where the needles pierce countless times, but I still can't find the origin.

-Forget it. Let's go to New York for now.

I could use my clones but… they are scattered around the world. I left most of them in the Speedwagon Foundation to help with research. A few of them are researching special places around the world. Leaving me all alone.

I didn't leave a clone with Robert because he already had "powerful" guards.

-I will treat this as a vacation.

…

Several days later in a "Starbucks" caffe.

-This coffee isn't exactly the one I asked for, but it's still good enough.

Behind me were two people, one older and one young.

-Oye Smokey, look at this. Said the person while showing a magazine.

-Do you think this is something to lift this area over here. He put his two hands in his chest.

-Are we going to get tracked from now on? Said the smaller boy.

Suddenly the bigger man left the store to talk with another man.

It's surprisingly similar to the original story, which means…

Just as I expected, the boy took out a Thompson submachine gun from his jacket.

Before he could shoot I hid behind a wall.

/BANG BANG BANG BANG .../

Dozens of bullets were fired in a second

He stepped into the broken window hole and said:

-Straizo! I was waiting for you! I know you can't die with this. I will kill you and avenge Old Speedwagon!

Then they started to have a deep conversation.

I watched it from the sides with Smokey on my side.

-This is better than some books. I said

Smokey just looked at me with a strange expression.

-Look at that dumb vampire, kid. He didn't even realize he was talking with a reflection all of this time.

-What do you mean?!

-Pay attention, kid.

The vampire then shot two laser beams into the mirror, suffering a surprise attack from behind.

-Few. I heard the wave can kill these guys, I need to check it…

But then the supposedly dead vampire opened his eyes and shot two more lasers at him.

Barely avoiding it he said:

-He didn't melt! He is practically fine!

-As I thought. if I had ignored you, you would become a great enemy for me in the future, just like that boy. After you I will go and deal with him.

He then proceeded to explain how he did not receive any damage for some reason.

Superiority?

-... I, STRAIZO, AM THE HEIR OF THE WAVE, A TECHNIQUE PASSED DOWN OVER MILLENNIA! I KNOW ALL OF ITS STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES!!

-Is that so? But did you think I would defeat you using only the wave?

This is getting interesting.

Why don't I just go there and deal with all of this? I will be frank, I still fear Ultimate Kars a little. And so, I will build both Caesar and Joseph as Hamon masters in case something goes wrong.

But I can't guarantee they will defeat the pillar man just like the show.

The man pulled a line, which then pulled the pin of a grenade.

-You think these petty tricks will defeat me?!

He removed the grenade off his scarf.

-That's why I told you to come to the city. Look around you!

He looked behind to see a dozen grenades in his back.

-You bastard!

/BOOM!/

But Straizo wasn't killed yet. His body pieces started to fuse together on the ground.

-AHHH! Do you have any more plans, JoJo?!

-Yeah. I have one more. My final one.

-You do?!

-What should we do then?!

-It's my special plan. Look at his legs, he can barely walk due to how destroyed they are! We are aiming at that.

-So what are we going to do? Asked Smokey

-I am also going to use my legs!

-And how are you going to use it?

-... RUN SMOKEY!

I watched as they ran across the city on top of a building's roof.

-My cafe… That's going to take a few hundred dollars to fix...

Straizo grabbed a woman and started to run after JoJo.

A few blocks away I waited for Starizo while sitting on a chair.

He finally appeared, but he didn't care about me as he was about to jump.

-Where are you going, Master Straizo?

He stopped, stunned.

-You are…

-HELP ME! Arg!

Straizo put his hand on her neck.

-You look young, I imagine you used it huh.

-... John. Are you here to stop me? I have a hostage and I am not afraid...

-No. I only need to ensure the life of Joseph.

-That's pretty much the same. Why not kill me now? I can feel it, the raging air around you! I heard it from Speedwagon before I killed him. That you managed to achieve something beyond anything I had seen before!

-I want to test JoJo. If he flees from you then that's all he's worth, if he decides to fight you and loses, I will go save him. I will make sure he doesn't mess with you for now on unless you harm someone close to him.

-That puts me at a disadvan…

-You don't have a choice anyway. You should be happy I am not killing you right now because of our training when I was younger.

-Your tongue became much sharper over the years. But so be it! I will accept this proposition, if I win against JoJo, he won't interfere with me any longer.

-In that case. I will give you a year to grow, I can't guarantee that no one will go after you though. But that's if you survive…

In a second I disappeared from his sight.

I couldn't catch his speed! So that's the limit of Hamon… I don't have a chance with my current body! I need to understand it as quickly as possible, but JoJo comes first.

The woman in his arms looked incredibly confused.

…

On a bridge…

-It seems he lost us…

-No Smokey. Look over there!

-Hel-Help! Said the woman with difficulty.

-If you flee I will kill her! But if you get up here I will release her!

-HA! What are you thinking? I don't know that woman!

-I will test you, just like I did many years ago!

-If you turn your back then that's all you are capable of, not a threat to me. But if you come to me that will reveal who you truly are! An immense threat for the future me. I will have to eliminate you right here and now!

-I will kill you in five seconds! Decide…

This is fucking golden. I thought while holding a camera.

Joseph went after him in the end.

-DIE! He shot two laser beams once again.

-I already thought of a way to defeat this move! Hamon!

He lifted two cups and charged them with Hamon, one of the laser was caught inside being deflected right to Straizo's forehead, the other pierced his shoulder.

They talked some more before Joseph punched him with Hamon making the hole in his head explode due to the Ripples.

He then learned the secret of the pillar man

Light beams started to pierce his skin.

-Hamon?! Did he create the wave inside of his body?

This is the moment I wanted to see the most. The only vampire whose body was once that of a Hamon master. How will the energies interact?

-Wait! Straizo I still haven't finished talking!

His arm then broke as he fell towards the river

-Goodbye JoJo!

For a moment he looked towards the very top of the bridge, only to see me with a sad face.

His eyes changed a bit but he still maintained his smile.

/Bang!/

For a moment, it seemed as if fireworks had been detonated on the bridge.

Jojo didn't seem happy as he screamed in frustration.

Later the press would say that a movie was being shot and that they wanted to make it believable. I gave my camera to the Speedwagon foundation so that they could research it.

These events would later be fused into a movie, but that is for the future.
