Jedah Chapter 5 and Dio Chapter 6

"Banana and Cucumber"


Prologue: Dio and Jedah

"Dio, I presume? Hi, I'm Jedah, like your costume."

Dio, a man clad in yellow, with weird love symbols all over his body. Hell, the costume he's wearing itself is just weird. The shoes look arabic, the jacket is very small considering Dio's body size, baggy pants, tight black shirt that show off his pecs really well and some weird ornaments hanging all over. Not to mention the funny looking headband he has.

The man clad in yellow looked at the Vampire Savior with a very perplexed look in his face, raising an eyebrow. The Savior stood where he is, waiting for a response from Dio. That's when Dio turned around to face Jedah.

"How do you do..."

"Oh, I'm fine, thanks for asking."

"...this?"

Now Jedah stand perplexed. Then he realised that Dio is not asking about his health but was asking how he came up from inside the ground.

"Oh, that was easy, you see, my scythe, can cut through reality, and so..."

"I see... are you death?" Dio interrupted.

Jedah slapped his forehead in frustration, hearing Dio's conclusion of who he is, "Why do people always mix me up with that brain dead moron? No, I'm not Death. I am the Vampire Savior. And since you're a vampire, I'm here to save you."

The banana then looked at the Savior queerly. His eyes then started to close and his mouth opened in a big huge smile and a luagh came out from inside. Jedah looked at Dio in a dumbfounded state, and asked, propoerly, "What is so amusing?"

"You, saving me. When it is clearly obvious that I do not need any saving. Now if you would excuse me, I have things to look into" the yellow one replied and turned around.

Enraged by such a reply and action, Jedah raised his scythe up and brought it down on Dio's back, which resulted in extreme pain on Dio's side. Blood, dripping from his back, which was slashed across, almost cutting his spine, he turned around to face Jedah.

"That... was... a mistake..." Dio gnarled.

"Is it? From what I can see, it was actually the right thing to do."

The both of them charged each other at full force.

End of Prologue


PART 1: Rewind a little bit

The subconcious saw EVERYTHING. And it couldn't believe what it was seeing. Jedah's precious train... his toy... was beeing hijacked by some... fairy tale kid! And to make it all worse, his trusty underling, the one he thought could do ANYTHING, actually failed to dispose of this red hood menace and in result, the souls are scattered... ALL OVER THE DIMENSIONS! The subconcious, which is the intelligent subconcious is stupified by what has occured in front of his eyes. He would shout and summon lightning in anger if only he wasn't a subconcious.

The subconcious shook his head and proceeded to fly toward casa Jedah to figure out a next move. If he were to be sleeping for a few more days... no, that is not the right move. To do that would result in so many days lost, so many opportunities gone. But he needs to do something. He has to collect more energy. He must have more if he were to convince these other people to align with him.

The energy matter arrived at the castle and went straight to the sleeping body. The body then opened his eyes. Sleep enough. It's time to strategically think up the next move. Getting up from his crystal coffin and looks around the room he's in. He prances left and right around the room, wondering and thinking. He can't wait for that Bee Queen, it's taking far too long. He needs to make a move on the other players. Align with them or destroy them totally. But first, he needs to get a good player on his side. And right now, Dio Brando seems to be the most likely candidate.

Only one way he can think of. Sometimes... you have to do things by yourself.

That's the only way... gather the souls himself.

END OF PART 1


PART 2: Little by little

Earth. What a terrible place this world has become. So many dark and gloominess existing around. people just scattered about, sleeping in the middle of the streets, pushing some kind of iron cart with what seems to be scraps of metal inside it. Memory serves, this iron cart is called a trolly. And metal vehicles, going in full speed, running whatever is in front of it, including humans. Metal weapons, flaring fire from it's mouth, much like a miniature cannon. Tall buildings and foundations, with moss all over it's side and back. Only the front kept clean. Garbage, empty aluminium containers, crumpled up papers all wasted down on the street where people would try and avoid stepping on it and yet, some sleep in it.

What a gloriously terrible place this world has become.

Jedah smiled looking at the situation earth has become. He is in a city. Some city in a country called America. If memory serves correctly, this city was called New Jersey. Or something like that. For a place that has New in it's name, it sure looks like something from the dark ages.

He walks down the street, looking around and saw some raggedy bunch of people, sleeping inside an outdoor hallway. Or what these humans like to call, Alleyway. He went into the alleyway, taking out his scythe.

The mortals woke up and saw this shadowy figure, standing at the entrance of the alleyway, with a scythe in hand. Some ran, some went back to sleep and some came up to Jedah and starts to prostrate him. He smiles a warm smile at them and asked, "How's life?"

"O' lord, please, deliver us away from this terrible fate of Bummery." said one of the people worshipping him. Bummery? Jedah shrugged it off and just replied, "Sure, just close your eyes."

Stupid enough, the mortals do this, but Jedah expected it. If these people were smart, they wouldn't be down here in the first place. Jedah raised his scythe and brought it down upon five of the mortals, who were kneeling in front of him. One swipe, the heads went off. Jedah then took out his hellfire liquid and it went into the dead bodies to drag out the souls. The souls were then introduced to a book, in which the hellfire liquid stamped the souls into the book, making those bodyless spirit his forever.

Jedah then walked into the alleyway and does the same thing to the humans who were sleeping. Swipe, liquid, stamp. Swipe, liquid, stamp. His energy rising really slowly. These bums, if memory serves, are really low on soul quality. He needs a better one. He needs someone big. He needs...

He stopped and looked at the other end of the alleyway. A man was standing there. A man who has chains and cape flapping all over him. Jedah wondered how this man even walk. Don't those cape trip him?

"Evil monster! Who are you? Were you sent here by the Malebolgia?"

Jedah looked at the man, "The Male-what? Is that some kind of sex change?"

"Don't play ignorance with me Hellbringer! I am Hellspawn! Now taste the wrath of Al Simmons!"

Jedah shook his head and just stood there, awaiting calmly for this stupid red caped "Hellspawn" to come and attack him.

The Hellspawn ran towards the man, cape aflowing, chains aclanging, claws asharpened. Whoah, those are sharp claws. But no, that's not what made Jedah step aside. It's what the claws hold. It was those miniature cannons. Except they weren't so miniature. They were actually big. And looked really dangerous. Guns... Artilleries... pistols... if memory serves.

Fires flared from inside the guns and singed right past Jedah if he didn't step aside. He pull up his Scythe and spun it in his hand, deflecting the little fireballs that spwed out of these guns. After the bullets, memory serves, finished hitting on his spinning scythe, he stopped it and readied to throw it towards the Hellspawn. But the Hellspawn is no longer in front of him.

Chains came down from above to strangle Jedah. He looked up and saw that the Hellspawn had jumped above him and now have Jedah caught in his chains. The dark man landed behind Jedah and somehow comanded the chains to lift the Savior up and slam him on the wall. From one to the other. The purple one used his scythe to cut the chains up and Jedah heard a scream. From the man. No, from the costume this man was wearing.

Well, well, well, the clothes are alive. The savior smiles and remembers an old friend of his who actually made these costumes. Well, not to say they were friends, but Jedah figured if this 'Hellspawn' came from that guy's hell, then this Hellspawn's soul is worth a lot.

The Hellspawn stopped and clutched his head, the scream must be tearing through his brain. What a good chance. The savior conjured up some hellfire liquid under the Hellspawn and it wrapped him up, lifted him to the air and a book materializes from out of nowhere and the Hellspawn was slammed into the book.

Game, Set and Match. The Hellspawn is his forever. Now, off to find Dio.

END OF PART 2


PART 3: Back to the present

The charge resulted in a huge impact. Both immortals were thrown aback by the backlash of the impact but they set themselves up straight right away and attacked each other again. Dio pulls out some punches that were deflected by Jedah's scythe. The Purple one made a couple of swipes towards Dio but somehow the scythe never made contact on Dio. As if Dio had a shield up. He then saw this shield. Another being. Much like Vanilla Ice back at Cairo, this man has also enslaved a zombie. No, this is not a zombie. This looked more mechanical than the one Vanilla Ice had. And more menacing. The being then took out some punches towards Jedah and he tried to deflect those attacks using his scythe, but the force of this being was powerful enough to push Jedah back. Enough defense, time for offense, thought Jedah. He jumped back.

Hanging in the middle of the air, he took out his spinning razors and threw them towards Dio. The being inside Dio came out and deflected the spinning razors. As the being disappeared in front of Jedah, Dio was charging towards Jedah with full force. A punch came right onto Jedah's cheek, forcing him to the ground. Jedah looked up and saw something that made him froze. Dio took a Steamroller from somewhere and is coming down towards Jedah. In a split second, Jedah snapped back into motion and...

BAM! The Steamroller fell on top of Jedah. Dio laughed an eerie laugh while he was on top of the roller and proceeded to punch the roller over and over and over again. One last punch resulted in the total decimation of the Steamroller, which produced an explosion. But something was missing.

Jedah wasn't actually under the Steamroller. The Dark Savior then appeared behind Dio from the ground that he had cut up using his reality bending scythe. The Savior raised his scythe and was about to swipe Dio until he realised something.

The fire from the explosion had stopped. Right in mid air. Fires are not crackling, smokes are not hovering. All just, stopped. Jedah looked back at the part he had landed on the ground and saw that the sand that had formed into dusts were just hanging on the air.

What the hell?

Too much pondering resulted in Jedah having the back of his head kicked by the Yellow Monkey.

But the monkey didn't stop, his being, came out from inside his body and punched Jedah on the back which sent Jedah flying through some trees around the park. The trees were split into two, and yet, the top part of the trees which is supposed to be falling onto the ground just hanged in mid-air.

Jedah shook it off and concentrated on the fight at hand. What is happening? Doesn't matter, he has to put this Dio into submission so that he can reason with the man to ally with him.

He took out his scythe and hovered towards Dio in full speed. Dio's being suddenly appeared in front of Jedah slammed Jedah into the ground. But the Savior was actually ready this time. As the being's hand was slamming Jedah into the ground, Jedah had summoned the Hellfire liquid to form from under him and upon his contact with the ground, he went into the liquid, with the being's hand as well.

Now the being's hand is engulfed into the liquid, the liquid slammed the being from one side to the other. Meanwhile, Jedah reappeared behind Dio. Again, he stopped from finishing his swipe when he saw Dio writhing in pain. Apparently what happened to his being is felt by him. So these beings who are controlled by these mortals are NOT Darkstalkers after all. After this is all done, he has to do more research on this.

But right now, to make Dio's soul his. He raised his scythe and brought it down on Dio's head.

END OF PART 3


EPILOGUE: What should have happened

The scythe went into Dio's head, puncturing it. The soul inside Dio would then come out and Jedah summoned his hellfire liquid to slam Dio's soul into his Soul Log Book. Dio didn't move. He was without a life. Without a spirit. Without a soul. Stood there, doing absolutely nothing. Jedah gave a little of Dio's soul into him so that Dio would be concious, but cannot rebel against the Savior. Dio regained his conciousness, looked at Jedah and kneeled before him. Jedah gave out a shrieking laugh.

With Dio on his side, Gill will be putty in his hand! Total control is right in his reach!

Is what should have happened. But somehow, the explosion that didn't finish exploding continued it's impact and the force of the explosion reached Jedah from behind. Unready of such an event, he was thrown forward and skidded to the ground, where one of the tree that was hanging on mid-air then came down on him. Again, unready, he couldn't teleport in time.

At this moment, Dio had landed on top of the log on Jedah and punched the log in furious motion. Splinters and wood barks flying on the air as Dio delivered from hundreds to thousands of punches. Jedah felt each and everyone of them. He struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at Dio, who is just standing, hands crossed on his chest, smiling smugly. Why that no good.

No wonder he was so smug, his being, which Jedah is starting to think is a materialised physical manifestation of Dio's psyche, punched Jedah using that huge hand on the side. The punch sent Jedah flying through the gates of the park and into a building that was in front of the park. The Savior crashed onto a wall in a well decorated room of what seems to be a lobby of a hotel. People inside the hotel was surprised to see the Savior crashing into the room.

At the now destroyed entrance of what Jedah think is a hotel, two mortals appeared and looked at Jedah. Jedah pulled up his head and pulled himself out of the wall. The two mortals then shouted towards the walking Banana, "He's still alive my lord!"

Jedah looked and saw Dio walking slowly towards him. Jedah gripped his scythe tightly and smiled, "Come and get your banana, Monkey."
