1vAll Part IV
🕑 Added 2016-06-25 19:00:46 +0000 UTC Elsewhere, Jojo was spendingtime with Christina and Ashley, but he was still uneasy. Instead of
playing video games with the sisters, he decided to stand by the
window and keep a lookout in case anything happened in the city. From
where he stood, he had a pretty clear view of the slums, which is
where the trouble normally happened. He was lost in thought for a
good while until he felt a soft pair of lips touch the nape of his
neck, which drew a shiver down his spine. He quickly looked behind
him to see his freckle faced lover, Christina, inching closer to him,
wrapping her arms around his abdomen from behind. At that moment,
Joaquin calmed down and gently smiled at her.
“Babe, you really need to
relax. Clara's out with Alan, Michelle and Tori can handle
themselves, and your mom is safe at home.” muttered Christina
against his earlobe. “Not to mention, none of these bad demons out
there know where we are and even if they did, my sexy man will take
care of them,” she continued as Jojo's ear twitched and a
satisfying tingle emanated from his ear. “Have I told you how much
I love you today?” he asked her. Christina only shook her head and
rested her chin on his shoulder. He turned his body to face her and
took one of her hands in his, “Well, I love you. Seriously, on top
of being an awesome person, your healing kisses keep me in top shape
so that I can always fight to protect the people I care about.” His
hand found it's way onto her cheek as his thumb stroked a path from
her cheek to her lips. He began leaning in for a kiss, when he
suddenly heard a loud bang, startling both Christina and Ashley.
The lovers pulled apart
from their embrace as Christina went to check on her sister, who ran
away the instant the bang happened. “Jojo! Ashley ran off, I'm
going after her!” shouted Christina from downstairs. Jojo
acknowledged her and instructed her to be careful. He kept looking
outside the window to see what he was dealing with and barely noticed
Lord Azul and Cora flying through the sky while both Mimi and Toto
were hoisted over his shoulders. Still not knowing the truth, he
assumed Azul had saved them from the disaster, so he was at ease for
the moment. He continued surveying the surroundings outside the house
and noticed several members of Azul's Demon Army patrolling the
streets. He kept a watchful eye under the assumption that they were
there to help the people, but as it turned out, they were the cause
of the bang and several of them began forcibly shoving innocent
civilians back into their homes, targeting only the human ones.
The demon civilians were
granted mercy, but several of them chose to stand against the army
and were met with brutality. Not being able to stand and watch this
anymore, Jojo opened the window and swooped down to fight off the
army. “Are you guys crazy?! These guys did nothing wrong!” he
shouted as he assumed battle stance. The soldiers had their mouths
covered by skull masks and all didn't appear to be under any kind of
control. The leader of the soldiers signaled his men to stop and
walked forward to greet Jojo, “Mr. Joseph, we've been looking for
you.” “Me? What for?,” replied Jojo, still unnerved and ready
to throw a punch, he was just waiting for a reason. “We were given
orders to apprehend you, you can either cooperate or be forced into
submission,” the leader offered an ultimatum which only gave Jojo
the ammunition he needed to not trust him. “The way I see it, you
have two choices: either walk away and leave these people alone or
you have to deal with me,” Jojo declared as he tightened his fist.
He was outnumbered, but it was nothing he hadn't handled before, the
difference is that these were Azul's men, who were nothing like the
lowlife criminals he'd faced alongside Toto and Mimi. The leader then
responded, “Fine, have it your way, k-...” before he could finish
his sentence, he was cracked in the face by Jojo's fist and stumbled
until he fell back against his small army.
Once he was oriented, he
noticed that both the civilian demons and Jojo had disappeared. “Damn
it, he's a fast one,” thought the leader to himself,”hopefully
Raul will take care of him. I'm too old to be dealing with this
bullshit.” Jojo had grabbed both of the bystanders and flew them to
the top of a tall building in the city. They thanked him endlessly
and Jojo simply told them to stay down as he looked on the city from
atop the building. He was shocked to see several small armies
policing the residents of Hell City and using excessive force. “What
is going on here?” thought Jojo, “Is there some kind of civil war
between Azul and his army?” He wanted to jump into action, but he
knew he wouldn't be able to take on all these men at once by himself,
so he restrained himself. “It's quite the sight, isn't it Amigo?”
uttered a voice from behind.
Jojo turned to see Raul,
Lord Azul's top mercenary and the man who delivered money to his
family's house all these years, putting Jojo at ease. “Oh, it's
just you, Raul. Do you know what's going on?” asked Jojo as he rose
to his feet and stood next to Raul. “Yes, it seems the King is
moving forward with his plans.” responded Raul as he crossed his
arms over his poncho and let his caballero fall from his head, being
caught by the string around his neck, letting the hat rest softly on
his upper back. “Plans? What plans?” asked Jojo urgently as he
began to feel his heart sink. “Lord Azul wants to return to the
ways of the ancients; before demons and humans lived together in
harmony. He wants demons to become the superior species once more.”
answered Raul as Jojo began panicking. “Are you..wait! He's got my
mom and my friends! Dude, we have to get them! If what you say is
true, then doesn't that mean they're his prisoners or something?!”
as Jojo panicked, Raul put a hand on his shoulder. “Relax, amigo, I
do know that El Rey won't bring harm to them. He only wants her as a
bride to rule the new land. Something about tu padre stealing her and
Azul always deserving her over him.” said Raul as Jojo began
shaking in anger. In his rage, one thing became clear, he was going
to have a long talk with Azul and his mother, but first, he needed to
get to the palace.
“Raul, I need you to help
me protect these people and then we can go to the palace and get some
answers, you good with that?” asked Jojo as he looked down at his
city's life being drained. Raul stood behind Jojo, “Of course, I'll
help you get to the palace, Joaquin.” “Thanks man, it's good to
have someone I can trust fighting by my side,” uttered Jojo as he
began stretching out his neck and loosening up his arms. As he
readied himself, he felt a large crack on the back of his head and he
saw white and then it was all dark as his body crashed onto the
ground of the roof. Raul stood over his unconscious body and put his
caballero back on his head. “Sorry, amigo, when El Rey pays me to
do a job, I do the job efficiently,” declared Raul as he hoisted
Jojo's body over his shoulder and flew off to Azul's Tower.

Yeah, Azul is an asshole.

That moment with Jojo and Christina was romantic! But Azul is racist towards humans!
