Chapter 115: Unbreakable, Unshakable

Previous Chapter Next Chapter
Unbreakable, Unshakable

I'll admit I got the idea for the title of this chapter from the opening theme for Tokyo Ghoul, but given the themes of Diamond is Unbreakable I still think it fits. I also wanted to show this next part from Kira's point of view rather than Josuke's, since other than replacing Hayato with Riku the scene in the house is unchanged.


Unbreakable, Unshakable

Kira fired off a few more shots, sending most of the Stand users scrambling. Josuke, however, merely used Crazy Diamond to kick up a wall made from the bricks in the sidewalk. "That distortion... Looks like your new friend can control air. So you're making bombs from the air itself now." "Normally impossible, even for Killer Queen," Kira admitted, "But with Stray Cat's power, which I have raised, it's power adds to mine to make a powerful long range attack."

He fired off another shot, this one passing through the cracks in the slab. Josuke put his guard up and the bomb impacted against him, sending him flying. "A tiny misconception you made," Kira noted, "This is no contact bomb. I can set it off anytime I want. And Stray Cat can control the power at my will." Killer Queen made to attack. "This is your end, Josuke!" Another shot fired, but Josuke grinned as he ran right at it, the bomb passing by harmlessly as he got near Kira, decking him in the face. The bomb went off behind him.

"Not bad," Kira said, "But you only gave me room to fire another shot." The blast impacted right in front of Josuke, knocking him back several feet. "We need to get out of here!," Riku said, "My house should be empty right now!" "You won't go anywhere," Kira said firing another bullet. Josuke grinned as Crazy Diamond took something red from his face. "Huh...?," Riku said, "When did you get injured?" "Take a look over there," Josuke said, pointing. Pinkie was nearby, barely conscious. "Right now her toon world is in flux," Josuke said, "It's still protecting her, but we're phasing in and out. I still don't take lethal damage, but I can get injured."

Crazy Diamond flung the blood to cut through the air bullet slicing it in two. "I see," Kira said, "She does have her limits after all. That's some remarkable durability. That said, you haven't escaped my bomb. It may be made by Stray Cat's air, but Killer Queen stabilizes it. There's no way to dispel it." Josuke grinned. "Now who made the misconception? I was never intending to break the bomb." He suddenly lifted up and out of the bomb's trajectory. "But how...?," Kira asked. He then saw pieces of rubble coming out of Josuke's wounds.

"Crazy Diamond can't heal me," Josuke said, "But it can heal those around me. And it can affect anything on me that's not part of my body." He and Riku ran into the house. Kira narrowed his eyes. "That power... It's so fast. If he could catch someone while they were being erased by Killer Queen... He could likely undo that. I thought Pinkie's Stand was my greatest threat because it could prevent me from erasing people. But now it seems Josuke is even more of a threat, since he can undo the erasure. This will be risky. If she recovers, I'm finished. I need to do this quickly. But first thing's first... I need to buy time."

He made a quick call to Takashi's boss. Said boss was willing to give him sick leave, relieving Kira. "Now... What to do next? My air bombs will be useless in the confines of the house. Riku's friend Hayato can apparently view inside to warn them of my presence, and my experience with Jotaro tells me taking on Josuke in a straight fight is right out anyway. If I knew where he was, I could send an air bullet to strike him through the window from outside..." He then got a call on his phone. "Hello?" His eyes widened. "Father! Where are you?" He grinned. "I see..."

He created another air bomb and sent it into the house. "Right... Now!" He clicked the trigger and heard the explosion. "Did I get him?" 'Yes, but not directly,' Yoshihiro said over the phone, 'And he fired something just before the impact.' Kira saw it coming and deflected the glass shot with Killer Queen. He prepared another shot, then got a surprise when something struck him in the back. "What happened...!?" 'Yoshikage, are you alright!?,' Yoshihiro called out. Kira grabbed the phone he dropped and hid behind the wall to the house.

"Something struck me...," he said, "I think it was a piece of glass..." 'That bastard Josuke played a trick!,' Yoshihiro said, 'He used some of his dried blood!' Kira's eyes widened. Once that blood was dried it was just another object. 'He's still on the ground,' Yoshihiro said, 'And he looks pretty damaged. A well placed shot at this point would end him. Just be sure to follow my every direction.' "Right," Kira said. He prepared another air bullet. "This one will do it for sure."


Unfortunately, fate was about to reveal its hand to Kira. Josuke had spotted Kira dropping the cell phone, and realized how he must have been tracking Josuke's every move. He got out his lighter and held it up to Riku's vest. As the air bomb came in, Yoshihiro popped out of the vest pocket, screaming in pain from the heat. "I nearly forgot about you, old man in the photo." Crazy Diamond grabbed the phone from him. "I think you've protected your serial killer son long enough."

The bomb brushed against Josuke, but didn't go off. Josuke spoke into the phone in a raspy voice. "Josuke's running three meters forward." He grinned as the bomb passed by him harmlessly. "Now... Diagonally up and right three meters." Yoshihiro gasped as he realized the bomb was coming right for him. As he tried to run for it, he cried out, "You bastard! What do you think you're doing!?" The bomb was right on top of him as Josuke gave the signal. "Yoshikage...!," Yoshihiro called out as his photo, and him along with it, was destroyed by his own son.


"Got him this time!," Kira said, "Josuke's been blown to pieces, right?" 'Yeah,' came Josuke's voice, shocking him, 'There's not a scrap of him left. Congratulations Kira, I've tricked you into killing your old man. Then again, he was already dead to begin with, so it's more accurate to say he finally passed on.' Kira began reeling. He'd been tricked. And the realization sunk in, he felt something hit him in the back of the head. When he felt it, his eyes opened wide. 'Pie filling...'

He turned around, and saw Pinkie had gotten back on her feet. "Of course you realize," she said, "This means war!" Kira growled. "Don't think this is over. Somehow, someway, fate will always find a way for me to get out." "Not this time," Josuke said as he emerged, "You're now within the effective range of my Stand." Kira growled. "Killer Queen!" "Crazy Diamond!" Killer Queen got hit first, receiving a punch right to his head. Kira reeled back and tried to counter-attack, only to get Killer Queen's arms broken. Josuke made another attack, but when he went for the stomach, Stray Cat activated and used an air shield to protect Killer Queen.

'This is my chance!,' Kira realized, and activated another bomb, this one a contact. However, just as it reached Josuke, it veered away. "What!? Even now fate turns away!?" "You got that right," came Okuyasu's voice. Kira turned to see him fully recovered. "Pinkie actually recovered a while ago," Okuyasu explained, "But she needed to take the time to resuscitate the rest of us." As the bomb drew near him, he readied The Hand. "I've always wondered where the things The Hand erases goes," he said as The Hand negated the air bomb with a swipe of its hand, "But I'm not too smart, so thinking too hard on it gives me a headache."

He chuckled. "Y'know, I saw my Bro when I was out. It's like I passed him in the darkness. He asked me where I was going. I said... I have friends to help. He just smiled, and said he was proud at how much I'd grown." Kira was raging now. "This cannot be possible! Fate is meant to be with Yoshikage Kira! That's how it's always worked! Stray Cat, another air bomb!" As Killer Queen opened its stomach to reveal Stray Cat, The Hand swiped at the air and pulled the flower feline out, Okuyasu grabbing it. He quickly calmed the feral plant down, Kira shocked at what he was seeing.

Kira was overwhelmed. Not only was fate turning against him, but he was surrounded by Stand users he had no chance against physically. Even worse, people were being drawn to the commotion. "This is some dream... This has to all be a dream... There's no way I'd ever get cornered... It has to be a dream..." He then saw a female nurse approaching. 'This nurse... I can use her... Even if they remember, Bites the Dust can buy me time...' But when he grasped the woman's hand, he got distracted.

"Your hands," he said, "They remind me of the Mona Lisa. I saw a sketch of it in an art book... I found myself aroused by them. I cut out that part and hid it. My name is Yoshikage Kira, and now you know my biggest secret." He saw Jotaro running at him. 'Bites the Dust was made so I wouldn't have to encounter him. But when he gets close, I'll detonate it. Then I can make my escape.' Killer Queen made to press the detonator that would reactivate his hidden power. This was his ultimate luck.
