Warning: Contains main villain torturing people with her Stand and Non canon character death

Hospital
9:45 AM

The doctor was hovering above Kakyoin's bed with a flashlight in hand, aiming directly at the redhead's right eye, the doctor then turned off the flashlight and began moving his left forefinger, Kakyoin follows the finger without turning his head. The Doctor stood up straight and started writing some notes down.

"It looks like your eyes are making a speedy recovery, Mr. Kakyoin." The doctor said. "But judging by how your left eye is acting, we're going to perform a quick visual test...nurse, bring in the eye chart!" The doctor calls out as the nurse pushes in a Snellen eye chart. Kakyoin sits up in his bed which is covered in discarded bandages, his left eye is closed shut while right is fully open, the only thing that stayed the same is his eye color being a shade of lavender purple, and his eyelids donning two thin vertical scars from his encounter with [Geb].

"Read this row with your left eye." The nurse said, pointing at the fifth row of letters.

"Ok." Kakyoin covered his right eye and tried opening his left eye, but he seems to be having a hard time opening it due to how sensitive it is, "Mmm..." Even worse his vision is blurry, he can see shapes and colors, but his reading is skewed. "Ah...D...E...P...O...I...?" He seems to be struggling to read.

"Ok, now try it with your right." The nurse said.

He covered his left eye and began to read: "...D...E...F...P...O...T...E...C." This time he did better as his vision in his right eye is a lot better and clearer, thus allowing him to read. The doctor wrote more in notes.

"Very good." The nurse gleamed.

"Well, Mr. Kakyoin...It looks like your right eye has fully recovered, but the left seems to be a little sensitive and needs more time..."

"I understand, doctor. I'm just happy to see again."

"I'm glad to, Mr. Joestar would be pleased with the results. That being said, you're gonna need to wear an eyepatch over that eye to protect it from light and debris until it's fully healed." The doctor said as the nurse approaches Kakyoin with a white medical eyepatch.

"Of course." Kakyoin replies as he leans up, allowing the nurse to put the eyepatch over his left eye.

"We'll return to apply some more eye medicine later, Mr. Kakyoin." The doctor says as he leaves the room. "In the meantime, you're more than welcome to get out of bed to get some exercise now that you can see."

"I'll do just that." Kakyoin says as he leaves his bed, "...Whoa." He wobbled around for a bit before standing up straight, he seems to have been bed ridden for a while. He then begins to stretch his body by twisting his torso, then his arms, then reaching down to touch his toes.

"Looking good there, Cherry boy."

"Ah!" Kakyoin exclaimed in surprise when he heard a young woman's voice. He turns to see Medea sticking her face through the busted hole which seems to be covered by a white piece of paper taped over it. "Don't startle me like that, I'm a little jumpy right now."

"Sorry." Medea said. "So, your eyes are doing well now?"

"A little." He answers as he continues his stretches. "My left eye is still healing, but otherwise I'm doing a lot better than before, mmm!" He leaned back so far that it almost looked like he was about to break his back, [Hierophant Green] pushed him back up. "I'm amazed that N'Doul's Stand hasn't permanently blinded me considering how deep the cuts were."

"No kidding, [Geb] is quiet a monster at what it does." Medea pulls away from the hole. "...I can't help but feel bad for the user though, N'Doul was just as much of a pawn for DIO as I was now that I think about it."

"If what Jotaro says about him is true, I'm not surprised."

"Hm... How many people working for DIO were manipulated and not just assholes looking for money or hedonism?"

"Very few and far between from what I've witnessed." Kakyoin said as he counted his fingers, walking to the hole.

"Of course." Medea sighs disappointingly.

"Speaking of which." Kakyoin starts as he sticks head into the hole. "What are the oth-"

"ACK!" Medea exclaims as she covers her chest as she is now topless again.

"Hey! Don't look!" A different nurse called out; she seems to be changing Medea's bandages after applying medicine.

"Oh god!" Kakyoin quickly leaves the hole, his face red in embarrassment.

"Sorry dude, I should've warned you that I was indecent."

"It's alright, it was my fault for not knocking..." Kakyoin replies as he fixes his night shirt, regaining his composer. "As I was saying: What are the other servants like? Does DIO have any more household servants besides you and Enyaba?"

"Yeah, he does, there are four more guys and his pet Falcon, three of them and said Falcon are Stand users and they are very deadly in their own right. Telence T. D'Arby the house's butler can steal people's souls for his collection just like his brother, Daniel J. D'Arby, Kenny G is an illusionist who can create illusions to mess with intruders, and Vanilla Ice is one of DIO's most crazily devoted servants who can erase your existence entirely, he'll even do it just for breathing the same air as DIO wrong." She explains.

"My god..." Kakyoin said, quite disgusted from what he's hearing.

"And the Falcon, Pet Shop, is DIO's pet and the mansion's gatekeeper, his job is to keep anyone away with his ice powers, even going as far as to kill innocent bystanders with it, even children and animals, no one but DIO's agents and food are allowed near the place."

"And you had to witness that an entire year?" The nurse asked, listening to the conversation.

"That's right, and I couldn't stop them from doing that." Medea said. "They're absolutely lunatics... Well Kenny G is ok, but the others, definitely."

"Oh, you poor thing."

"I see...what about the fourth guy?" Kakyoin asked.

"Oh, he's a Vampire with a useless disguise ability, no Stand. Everyone calls him "Idiot", I called him "Small fry".

"...So, the Mansion's Butt Monkey?"

"...You could say that."

"All done." The nurse says, putting away the supplies. "I'll give you more medicine later."

"Cool." Medea answered as the nurse leaves.

"Oh, excuse me, doctor." The nurse says outside the room suddenly as if she bumped into someone.

"It's uh, quite alright." The doctor said.

"Hm?" Medea raised her eyebrow when she heard the doctor's voice, why does he sound familiar? Suddenly, the doctor entered her room, this surprised Medea since she wasn't expecting a doctor to do that, let alone a guy. "Whoa whoa whoa!" She calls out before quickly putting on her t-shirt. "Knock before entering the room! What kind of doctor are you!?" She gripped irritably, the doctor panicked and covered his eyes.

"Oh shit, sorry. I thought you were somebody else, Meds..." Suddenly he did a double take. "MEDEA!?" The doctor exclaims, he appears to be a "doctor" but something about him is odd, he appears to be a tall man with a muscular build, a tall light blue hat, a white coat, and a wrinkled-up face, he also seems to have bandages up and down on said face as well.

"...Do I know you?" Medea asked, confused by the visitor.

"Yeah, Meds, it's me." He says as he starts scrunching up his face with his hands, this caused his wrinkly face to turn young and smooth, and weirdly enough his hat turned from light blue to dark green. "Oingo!"

"Oingo!? Cac naofa! I almost didn't recognize you with [Khnum] on." She beamed from seeing one of her old allies. "How's Boingo?" She gripped his hands.

"He's doing a lot better than me; he was actually discharged early." Oingo explained, happy to see his comrade again. "As for me, I'm still stuck here because that bomb I made did a number on me."

"Well at least you two are alive and walking, that's all that counts... What are you doing here anyways? Do the nurses know you're running about?"

"Not really, I've been trying to get my hands on Kakyoin without the doctor's finding out."

"...Ooooh that's right, he's still cooped up here..." She said with an uncomfortable smile, she completely forgot that his mission was to kill the Joestars.

"I've been searching high and low for that guy for the past two days after I started walking again, and so far, I haven't found his room... unless." He sees the paper covering the hole in the wall.

"Oh! Uh, don't bother, another patient could be in there." Medea tried to come up with an excuse.

"Well just in case..." Oingo goes to the hole in the wall, but before Medea could react, he removes the paper and peers inside. "...Huh, there's nobody inside."

"Huh?" Medea looks inside the hole to find that it's empty, Kakyoin is gone. "Oh, I uh guess they left."

"Damn, so close." Oingo griped. "Anyways, what are you doing at the hospital? Did Jotaro kick your ass again!?"

"NO! No-no! He didn't do anything like that!" She stuttered. "I uh got heatstroke so they left me here with the SPW to look after me." She points at her bandaged neck. "The bandages are to cover the rashes I got from it.

"Yikes, that's a bummer."

"I know, guess that's what happens when you're exposed to Egyptian heat for so long."

"Totally, I'm surprised me and Boingo didn't get it." He then begins to leave the room. "I'm going to continue finding that jerk. Let me know when you find him, k?"

"Sure thing." She says as she watches him leave.

"...Thanks for not ratting me out." She suddenly heard Kakyoin speak, she turns to the hole to see him crawling out under the bed as he was using it to hide. "That annoying bastard's going to be the death of me, it's already hard enough hiding from him without any eye site."

"Even if he did find you, he wouldn't do much harm to you anyways considering that you have [Hierophant Green]."

"True." He shrugs.

Medea then let's out a loud sigh as she flops on her bed. "I didn't have the heart to tell him what really happened, he and his brother are high ranking agents."

"They're going to need to know eventually."

"I know...hm?" Just then, she heard the sirens going off, meaning that an ambulance is leaving the hospital to help someone.

Maxim Cafe
A few minutes ago

Meanwhile in the city, the cafe had recently had a grand re-opening due to one of the waiters being injured by Oingo a while back, things at this particular cafe are slowly but surely starting to pick back up again as a few customers begin to attend the building, one of them was the mysterious woman that was with DIO, she was reading a newspaper by one of the tables, smiling to herself as if she knew something about the contents of the article.

"Fufufu..." She chuckled.

"Excuse me, madam, but here's your order." A waiter spoke up, holding a plate that's holding an Iced Mocha Cappuccino with a pink straw in it.

"Thank you." The woman answered and the waiter gave her the frozen coffee drink she ordered before leaving. "Hm?" Suddenly she spots a piece of folded paper under her drink; she takes it out and opens it, the paper reads:

"Call me later, cutie pie~"
With a phone number underneath it.

The woman looked up and sees the chef in the back of the kitchen giving her a "call me" hand gesture the second she spotted him, meaning that he's the culprit, he appears to be an average looking young man.

"...Hm." Was her only reply as she raised her left eyebrow in a disinterested way, she continues to read her paper, this time she starts drinking her iced coffee... Suddenly, black smoke started leaking out from her boots and started heading towards the kitchen.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, the chef was smitten when he saw her eyebrow raised, his cheeks red and warm.

"Hey, get back to work." The waiter called out as he enters the kitchen...

"Right, right." The chef replied. "But have you seen that chick dressed in black leather though? She's a total babe."

"Quit messing with the customers, we've only just re-opened and the last thing I want is for you to cause trouble."

"Mmmm." The chef pouted before going back to his work. But just as he was working, some black smoke started entering the kitchen and covered the chef's feet, he doesn't seem to notice though.

"...Sssssssssssss..."

He did however notice hissing sounds and his blood immediately ran cold, he turns slowly to the source of the sound and became frozen as he stood: a snake, specifically a black colored desert cobra.

"...O-oh...oh god...there's a snake here." He chef squeaked upon seeing the deadly reptile, clearly scared.

"Excuse me?" The waiter asked as he poured water into glasses.

"Snake! There's a snake! There's a snake in the kitchen!"

"What!?" The waiter turned to see what the chef is seeing...except there was nothing, the chef was pointing at nothing. "Ugh, don't scare me like that!" He berated.

"But it's right there! It's a black desert cobra!"

"You probably saw a shadow or something, get back to work and stop scaring the customers!" The waiter sternly said as he leaves with the glasses, the chef just stands there terrified out of his mind, this man really doesn't like snakes.

Of course, his skin turned paler when the cobra starts approaching his face... no, it wasn't moving, it was growing, the reptile grew 10 feet tall in height and size, almost covering the entire kitchen in its scaly mass, and its eyes starts to glow red. "Ah-ah...ah...!" The chef stuttered, he couldn't believe his own eyes, the object of his fear is now taller than he is, big enough to devour him whole, and no one could see it, he's alone and scared! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He let out a loud scream of bloody murder as the giant snake lunged at him, he ran out of the kitchen screaming and flaying his arms about.

"What the hell!?" The waiter exclaimed in alarm when he sees his fellow employee acting like a crazed lunatic, he quickly runs to the chef and starts shaking him. "What's the matter with you!?"

"GIANT SNAKE! THERE'S A GIANT SNAKE IN THE KITCHEN! IT'S TRYING TO EAT ME!" The chef cries out in a frenzied panic. "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE IT EATS US ALL!"

"WHAT SNAKE!? THERE'S NO GIANT SNAKE!"

"BUT I SAW IT, IT WAS 10 FEET TALL AND IT'S EYES WERE AS RED AS BLOOD!"

"What's with that guy?" A male customer asked.

"Does he have a disorder?" His friend asked.

"Come on, kids. Let's go somewhere else to eat." A mother asked, taking her two kids out of the cafe.

"No wait! Come back!" The waiter calls out to the mother before turning back to the chef, angry. "Now look what you've done!"

"GIANT SNAKE! GIANT SNAKE!" The chef still continues his tirade.

"I think he's having a breakdown." A female costumer said.

"I'll call the hospital." A female tourist said.

"Phone's in the back, the emergency number's 123." The waiter said, and the tourist went to grab a phone in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, the woman dressed in black wasn't scared or worried, she just watched the whole thing with a cool and calm demeanor as she sips her iced coffee drink, smirking at the chaos unfolding before her. After she finished her drink, she took out a pair of black sunglasses and stood up, putting some cash on the table after doing so.

"Come, [Nephthys]." Was what the woman said as she leaves the building, newspaper in hand, the black smoke that was plaguing the kitchen followed behind her and hid in her boots. Outside the building, she walks away as she hears the ambulance's sirens going off in the air, meaning that the hospital has been notified. "Right on schedule." She says to herself as she throws her newspaper away in the trash, the headline that had made her smile earlier reads:

"Famous hitwoman dies from insanity in Egyptian hospital."
With a photo of Midler on the front page.

Hospital
9:52 AM

Kakyoin was looking at photos of the servants that Medea had mentioned, these photos also show their Stands, albeit faded, meaning that these were made via DIO's spirit photography ability.

"Vanilla Ice's Stand looks quite frightening." Kakyoin comments, looking at a photo of him and [Cream].

"Absolutely." Medea agrees, looking through the hole. "While its name sounds very silly, it doesn't hide the fact that [Cream] is a deadly and despicable Stand, just like it's user." That answer made him quite worried, a Stand that can actually cause more damage than a Tarot or an Egyptian god Stand is something he wasn't expecting.

"...I hope the guys don't come across him." He sighs.

Knock knock knock

Just then he hears a knock at the door. "Yes?" A nurse came in with a tray of food.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Kakyoin, but I got yours and Miss King's breakfast." The nurse says as she carries the food tray to him.

"It's no trouble, nurse, thank you." He says, and the nurse puts a tray on his bed before leaving, it consists of a small glass of three cherries, a small bowl of ful medames, a plate of baladi flatbread, ta'ameya, and two fried eggs, and a cup of orange juice.

"Something smells good, what's in there?" Medea asks, looking back.

"Ful medames, it's stewed fava beans." Kakyoin replies.

"Oh yeah I had that before." Medea says as the nurse enters her room with her breakfast.

"You're going to need a nice meal after all the trouble DIO put you through last night." The nurse says as she puts the tray on Medea's bed, it was the same as Kakyoin's except the cherries are replaced with orange slices.

"I agree, thanks nurse." Medea says as the nurse leaves, she begins to eat her food, it's been a while since she had a hot meal in her stomach since getting dragged back to Aswan.

She looks out to the windows and sees that they were open, which allows a faint cool breeze to fly into the bedroom despite how hot Egypt normally is, Medea watches the clouds go by and the curtains dancing in the breeze. She then looks down at her right hand and forms a fist, [Flogging Molly]'s hand started flickering again, this time a little longer than usual, meaning that her Stand will reawaken soon, she smiles to herself.

"Rerorerorerorero..."

"Huh?" Suddenly, Medea heard Kakyoin making some noise in his room. She turns to the hole in the wall and sees that he is holding the small glass of cherries. He takes out a seed from his mouth and eats another cherry, licking it in a strange way.

"Rerorerorerorero..." That's where the sound came from.

"Does that taste good or something, or magical, like what are you...?" Medea asked with pure confusion on her face.

"Bleh." Kakyoin stuck his tongue out, cherry intact. "Ith magical tho me, cherrieth are my favorithe." He answers, not dropping the fruit as he spoke.

"I can see that, weirdo."

He takes the cherry off and replies: "Says the one who had a peanut butter and bacon sandwich a while ago." He shot back, smirking.

"...Well, you got me there." She admitted. "But to be fair; I thought it was cool at the time because it was an Elvis favorite."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile

Aside from the doctors and nurses passing by, there isn't much activity in the floor underneath the one Medea and Kakyoin are on, the only doctor that seems to be acting strange was a false one, as Oingo has once again disguised himself as a doctor using [Khnum]. He was checking each room on the floor to see where Kakyoin is hiding, completely unaware that he's in the floor above him. He checks the next one, it was empty, but he still checked every nook and cranny in the room just to be sure.

"Hm...now where the hell is he?" Oingo asked to himself, frustrated. "Don't tell me he got discharged early." He then checked under the bed; it was empty to...just then something hit him. "Wait a sec..." He remembers the room next to Medea's and how it was empty, or so he thought. Needless to say, he facepalmed when he realized this, crying out in embarrassment: "Gah! That sneaky bastard's been under the beds in those rooms the whole time, and I forgot to check them!" He then started storming out of the room. "He ain't getting away with this!...Huh?" Just as he left, the ambulance from before has returned... it somehow caused Oingo to feel a sudden chill on his spine.

"What happened?" One of the doctors outside asked.

"A chef from the Maxim Cafe suddenly started losing his mind." A paramedic answered. "He claims to have seen a giant desert cobra but it's not there."

"But it's right there! There was a giant snake in the cafe!" The chef cried out. "It was going to eat me and everyone in the cafe!"

"Get him into an emergency room immediately." The doctor said calmly.

"Wh-...what is this feeling?" Oingo asked sheepishly, he was drenched in cold sweat. "I-...It's making feel...uneasy..." He slowly turns to the window and sees the ambulance that was carrying the chef... He sees nothing...or so he thought... until he sees something black leaking out of the ambulance... but it doesn't look like oil, but a smokey substance. Oingo's eyes widened in horror when he saw that, he knew exactly what that black substance is. "N-no...it can't be..." He uttered fearfully, and his blood ran even more colder when he sees a single black boot touching the ground.

Then he saw her coming out of the ambulance: the strange woman in black, she had hitched a ride to the hospital.

Oingo started freaking out upon seeing her, so much so that [Khnum] lost its shape and turned his face back to normal, deactivating his disguise. "OH NO, NOT THAT WITCH AGAAAAAIN!" Oingo yelled out in fear and starts to run out of the room, yelling: "Medeaaaaa! We're fucked! We're royally fucked!

"Hey! What are you doing out of your room!?" A nurse in the hall called out, trying in vain to chase him down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside

The strange woman jumps on top of the ambulance that's currently not in use and takes out a pair of binoculars from her coat pocket, she looks through them to find her targets in the hospital. It took her a bit, but she was able to find them on the topmost floor as neighbors, side-to-side.

"Bingo." The woman said, smirking as she puts the binoculars away. She then raised her hands out in front of her, allowing [Nephthys] to pour out of her fingertips, followed by [Nephthys] coming out of her boots, it started crawling to the building and climbing on the hospital walls.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Top floor

"Ahh!" Medea gasped, she suddenly felt her blood run cold, filling her with a sense of dread.

"Medea, what's wrong?" Kakyoin asked.

"...Something's wrong." She said gravelly. "Suddenly I felt cold."

"Oh no, is the Sepsis acting up again?"

"It's not that... I mean like... someone's watching us."

"...Medeaaaa!..."

"...Now that you mention it, I'm getting that strange feeling to." He said as he stuck his head though the wall.

"...We're in huge trouble!..."

"So that means..."

"She's here!" WHAM! "WE'RE DEAD MEAT! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Oingo cried out right after slamming Medea's door wide open.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Medea cried out in surprise, covering herself.

"Ah..." Suddenly Oingo paused, he saw Kakyoin sticking his head through the hole, the Japanese teenager just stayed there awkwardly, realizing the situation has just gone from normal too bad. "..."

"...Umm...Surprise?" Medea awkwardly said, breaking the silence.

"...I KNEW IT!" Oingo suddenly yelled out in anger, now having found the hidden Crusader. "YOU'VE BEEN HIDING HERE ALL ALONG YOU LITTLE SHIT!" He suddenly runs out of the room just to attack the other, he grabs a nearby cane to strike Kakyoin with.

"OINGO NO!" Medea cried out as she chases him down.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" He swings the cane at the Crusader when...

"...[Hierophant Green]." Kakyoin said calmly, suddenly a bunch of green and white tentacles come out from behind him and tied up Oingo in a hogtie position. "...How pathetic, simply pathetic..." He continues, shaking his head. "...Out of all the people DIO hired just to kill me and my friends, he has to hire a petty street criminal who can only change faces and nothing else. Even Rubber Soul can pull off a better disguise with his Stand than this."

"Ouch." Medea squicked at that remark.

"Oh, come on I'm trying here!" Oingo answered. "But that's not the point, just what the hell are you doing with Medea? You're not holding her hostage, are ya?"

"Calm down, butthead, he hasn't done anything to me." Medea answered.

"B-b-b-but he's the enemy!" He stuttered.

Medea pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed disappointingly, she then said: "I'm really sorry, Oingo... I've should've been honest with you earlier..."

"...About what?" Oingo asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"Hold on." Kakyoin butted in. "Now why were you barging into Medea's room like that? Was it for me?"

"...OH, SHIT I FORGOT!" Oingo exclaimed in fear, remembering why he came into the room. "THAT CRAZY WITCH IS HERE!" He cried out as he struggled in the Hierophant's bonds.

"Huh?"

"Witch? What witch?" Medea asked.

"WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE OR ELSE WE'RE SCREWED, MEDS!" He continues to panic before Medea slapped the Glory God across the face. "OW!"

"Cut the hell out and tell me what's the matter!?" She scolded him.

"B-B-B-Behind you!" Oingo stuttered out loud.

Cautious, she turned to the window to see black smoke rising to the windowsill, but this is no ordinary smoke, it was trying to get in the room like it had a mind of its own. Seeing it immediately made Medea's blood run cold in fear. "...Oh no... [Nephthys]..." She whispered out, she knew exactly what this is and where it came from.

Kakyoin was surprised by this as well, he sees black colored smoke in his life, but has never ever saw smoke as pitch black as this before. Distracted, his Stand faded.

"AH!" Oingo fell to the floor.

"What the...where is this smoke coming from?" Kakyoin asked as he walked to the window. "Is there an accident?"

"GET AWAY FROM IT!" Oingo called out as he got up and forcefully pulled the teenager back.

"What's your problem?" Kakyoin asked in irritation as he pulled his arm away.

Thump...thump...

Just then there was a thumping sound that made Medea and Oingo freeze up, the black smoke was trying to barge into the room through the window.

"...That's the problem." Oingo squeaked out, shivering.

"Kakyoin... run... now." Medea said, not taking her eyes off the smoke.

"Huh?" Kakyoin was confused, he has no idea what's going on.

CRACK!

Then it happened, the window started cracking.

"Ngh!?" Kakyoin gasped in shock, he had never seen anything like this before in his life.

"RUUUUN!" Medea started screaming in fear as she pulled Kakyoin out of the room by his right arm with Oingo following close behind, scrambling to escape. After doing so, the black smoke broke in and started chasing after the trio like a lion chasing its pray. In the hall, the three Stand users were running like there's no tomorrow, dashing past obstacles and people along the way. "EVERYBODY GO BACK TO YOUR ROOMS! YOU GOTTA HIDE!" Medea cried out to the people still in the hall, most of the people did as they're told while the others ignored her, completely unaware that they're about to be swallowed by the black mass.

"WHAT IS THAT!?" Kakyoin called out. "THAT'S NOT A STAND IS IT!?"

"IT IS! THAT'S [NEPHTHYS]!" Oingo answered loudly as they descended down the stairs, clearly avoiding elevators since they take longer. "NAMED AFTER THE EGYPTIAN GODDESS OF DARKNESS! ITS POWER IS TO CREATE HALLUCINATIONS OF A VICTIM'S FEAR IN ORDER TO KILL OR PARALYZE ANYONE IT TOUCHES!"

"CAN WE JUST ATTACK IT!?"

"YOU CAN'T! THE STAND HAS NO SOLID FORM!" Medea yells. "THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT IT IS TO GO AFTER THE USER, AND EVEN SHE MAKES IT HARD FOR ANYONE TO THAT...GAH!" Suddenly Kakyoin stopped in his tracks, almost making Medea fall on her back.

"...Not if I have anything to say about it." He said in a determined voice.

"Are you insane!?" Oingo panicked. "She'll mess you up, you can't go near her!"

"Doesn't mean I can't try." He says this as [Hierophant Green] manifests behind him. "Besides, I needed a little exercise anyway."

"What are yo-" Medea was about to ask.

"Just go, I got this!" Kakyoin cut her off as his Stand took him away and flew out the open window.

"Kakyoin!" She called out, but he's gone.

"Ack!" Oingo exclaims when he sees how close [Nephthys] is getting. "Come on!" Oingo pulls on her arm and drags her down the stairs.

"HEY!"

They continue to run down the building, nearly getting grabbed by the black smoke, feeling their legs getting tired and almost out of breath, all the while they're hear the screams of people who had failed to hear Medea's warning and are now being attacked by their phobias coming to life, this was enough to make Medea cry, but she can't, now's not the time.

Eventually, they reached the hospital entrance and the black smoke spewed out, it didn't touch them as they're afraid it would, but instead wrap around them, trapping them in a black colored circle like bugs in a spider's web.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" They heard an evil and cruel laugh and turned to see the strange woman in black standing on top of the ambulance as the black smoke hides in her fingertips and under her boots.

"Oh shit, it's her..." Oingo said in fear.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!... Hello Medea, did you enjoy my "get well" present?" The woman asked as she brushes her long dark hair with her left fingers, smirking.

"Eris Raitt." Medea said in disgust.

"That's my name, don't wear it out." The woman replied as she jumped off the ambulance.

"No wonder the air suddenly went cold." Medea continues. "Just what the hell are you up to, skank?"

"What? Can't one of the Glory Gods of Egypt swing by and say hello to a good friend?" Eris sarcastically replied.

"Bullshit, we don't claim you!" Oingo called her out. "You're nothing but a false god making us look bad."

"SHUT IT, OINGO! WOMEN ARE TALKING!" Eris suddenly snapped at Oingo loudly.

"AIE!" He suddenly stood up straight, frozen like a statue except he's sweating like bullets.

"I don't believe that you came here in peace; especially after that little stunt you pulled on the bystanders just now." Medea says while pointing at the Hospital building behind her, engulfed in [Nephthys]'s dark embrace.

"...Oh, so you caught on, hm?" Eris asked as she walks to the Irish girl. "I'm here for you and your friend."

"...Me?" Oingo points at himself sheepishly, Eris stops to glare at him, and he freezes up again, this time his hair stood on end.

"No... I meant the green one... the Hierophant." Eris answered as she continues to walk to Medea, smirking evilly at her.

Medea had become uneasy from Eris talking, she has a sneaking suspicion on what she's talking about... but just to be sure, she asked this: "What do you want from me and Kakyoin?" Medea's breath hitched when Eris stood in front of her, standing approximately 7 inches taller than her.

"You mean it's not obvious yet?" Eris then leaned into Medea's ear and whispered this: "I'm here to erase both of you out of existence." Medea gasped in horror and pulled away from Eris.

"Y-you can't do that! I'm one of DIO's servants!" Medea stuttered, trying to defend herself.

"Fufufu, not anymore." Eris chuckled. "Lord DIO got tired of you failing him so many times soooo...he gave you "the boot"... by which I mean infect you with Sepsis." Medea's eyes widen in horror.

"Wait! He did WHAT TO MEDEA!?" Oingo exclaimed in shock as he grabs the sides of his face, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"DID I FREAKING STUTTER!?" Eris yelled at Oingo. "LORD! DIO! GAVE! HER! SEPSIS! TO! KILL! HER! WITH!" She claps her hands to each word she repeated, Oingo flinched to each clap. "DID YOU HEAR ME THAT TIME, STUPID!?"

"I don't believe it... the Joestars were right all along." Medea said in dismay, remembering what they had theorized about DIO last night.

"Of course the Joestars were right, we all know it was only a matter of time before DIO disposed you just like how he disposed Enyaba!..." Eris sees Medea becoming despondent from the news, the woman then turned away from the Irish girl for a moment and said this: "...It's quite a shame though... he really did like you..." She then turned back to Medea. "...Which is good for me, because now I get to have him all to myself." She finishes with a twisted smirk on her face.

"Y-...You're lying." Oingo stuttered. "You're just trying to scare her."

"Oh, but it's true..." Eris said to Oingo as she reaches for something in her pocket. "...You see..." She then took out what appears to be a Tarot card of the [High Priestess], splattered in blood. "I told Midler same thing before I killed her!"

Medea gasped in shock and distraught as she took the bloodied card. "Rose...Is that why I couldn't get a hold of her!?" Tears forming in her eyes.

"Duuuh, it was all over the news because of how famous she is in her occupation... OH WAIT! You didn't know that because YOU were too busy whoring yourself around with the Joestars! Hahahahahaha!" Eris let's out another evil laugh, but as she did, Medea's despair turned into rage because of what she did to her friend.

"YOU BITCH!" Medea charges at the woman in fury, only for Eris to punch her in the gut, knocking the wind out of her. "HOOH!" She fell on her knees, holding onto her gut in pain and coughing.

"Meds!" Oingo goes to her.

"Oh yes, I know about your Stand situation to...without [Flogging Molly] by your side, you're nothing, worthless, defenseless, just another one of Lord DIO's toys that's meant to be thrown away once they break." Eris talks down to her.

"Sh-shut up." Medea breathed out.

"But I wonder though, does it contribute to your fear?" Eris asks as [Nephthys] starts leaking out of her fingertips, indicating that it will be utilized. "What is your greatest fear anyway?"

"You better not!" Oingo calls her out.

"Step aside, Oingo, unless you want me to drag you into the darkness as well." Eris glares down at the glory god before walking to the two, Oingo holds onto the pained Medea as she got closer. "Fufufu, sweet dreams, Medea Ki-" Suddenly, her foot snagged onto something green, "...Huh?" It didn't trip her, but she heard what appears to be projectile aimed right at her. Eris turned to the sound and sees emerald-colored bullets flying at her, "NGH!" she kicked the bullets out of the way, but she snagged another trap and more emerald bullets came flying at her and got hit, as it was too quick to stop. "GAAAAAH!" Eris cried out as she gets pelted by emeralds, she fell back on another trap and more emeralds came raining down, and again, and again, and again.

"What the hell!?" Oingo called out, watching Eris getting battered down by emeralds.

"The Emerald Barrier!" Medea said out loud, now she knows what Kakyoin was up to.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Eris screams as she flew backwards, flying through the windshield of somebody's car, causing sirens to go off. After which, a bunch of green webs came into view in the sun as they all retract to a streetlight in the parking lot. Medea and Oingo look up and sees Kakyoin and [Hierophant Green] on top of the streetlight.

"What took you so long!?" Oingo yelled out as he and Medea stood up.

"Sorry." Kakyoin said before jumping off the streetlight, [Hierophant Green] cushioned his fall. "It's not easy getting here quicker without [Nephthys] trying to catch me."

"You don't have to worry now, her Stand's fading." Oingo points at the hospital, the black smoke is fading, thus freeing the building and the people inside.

"Well, that's good." Kakyoin said, he turned to Medea and sees her looking down with a disappointed look on her face. "Are you alright, Medea?"

"I guess..." Medea said in a sad tone while rubbing her stomach from being punched earlier. "...You guys were right about DIO all along, I was nothing but a plaything for him."

"That's what we've been trying to tell you about, even Steely Dan said it himself back in Pakistan."

"Hm..." Medea had recalled getting stuck in Pakistan after Hol Horse stupidly left her behind and had witnessed Enyaba's death at Steely Dan's hand.

"Lord DIO places his trust in no one, not even you Enyaba." Were the words the sleezy Stand user of [Lovers] said as the old woman laid dying. Meanwhile, Oingo just stood there, having no idea how to process what in the world just happened.

"...So that's why Medea got hospitalized?" Oingo asked quietly.

"I'm really sorry for lying to you earlier, Oingo." Medea said in guilt. "I didn't know how you'd react because you're a Glory God... these bandages on my body aren't really heat rashes, they're bite marks that he made."

"Shit man..." Was his reply as his puts his forehead in his hands. "...I wish I was aware how much of a bastard DIO was before I started working for him." Oingo said, feeling ashamed. "...Now I feel like I'm putting Boingo in danger to... some older brother I am."

"So, what now?" Kakyoin asked.

"...I don't really care about you Joestars, but now I know that killing you guys isn't worth it anymore... As soon as I get out of this hospital, I'm going to look for Boingo and quit being DIO's servant."

"But you'll be jobless again." Medea said.

"We'll manage, just like we have before."

"...Alright, I wish and your brother the best of luck then." Kakyoin said before looking at him sternly. "...But, if you ever get any funny ideas about hurting me or my friends, you WILL be sorry the next time we meet, got it?"

"Y-yeah." Oingo stuttered, Kakyoin said before letting out a sigh from the answer.

"...Let's head back inside, the doctors should be worried about us." Kakyoin said as he walked to the building.

"...Right." Medea answered and followed behind, soon Oingo tagged along.

"..."

...Shatter...shatter...

Oingo suddenly stopped at the sound of broken glass dropping, but just as he turned to the source of the sound...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Medea and Kakyoin heard a loud scream and turned to see Oingo getting dragged by a large dark mass that is [Nephthys], it appears that Eris is still conscious as she's attempting to drag her "ally" into the darkness. She stood in the parking lot in an unstable position, with messy dark brown hair and covered in cuts and bruises from being beaten by a barrage of emeralds earlier, she's also no longer wearing her black jacket due to being torn to shreds, revealing her strap leather dress, black arm bands, and her right arm wearing golden jewelry.

"NOOOOO! LET ME GOOOO!" Oingo cries out as his claws on the ground in vain to get away.

"HIEROPHANT GREEN!" Kakyoin yelled out to summon his Stand, summoning tentacles to grab onto the Glory god and drag him back. "Grrrrrr...AH!" He suddenly got pulled forward before Medea pulled back his body.

"Come on, Kakyooooin!" Medea strained, trying so hard as to not lose her friend into the darkness.

"Hahahaha...Haha...Haha...HahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Eris was let out a breathy and insane laugh as she uses her Stand to drag in Oingo.

"HELP MEEEEE! AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh-" Oingo screamed as he was getting swallowed alive by the Stand.

"OINGO, NOOOOOOOO!" Medea cried out in horror.

"GRRRRRR!" Kakyoin pulls back with his Stand even harder until...

"GAH!" Oingo was finally pulled out, but despite being alive, he was curling on the ground and shivering in fear, meaning that it was too late and that the damage was done.

"Oingo!" Kakyoin called out as he and Medea run to him to see if he's hurt, they kneel to him.

"Are you alright?" Medea asked, worried and scared.

"I-i-i-it's so dark..." Was what Oingo manage to stutter, what [Nephthys] did to him has mentally scarred him. "...S-s-s-so c-cold and dark...make it stop...make it stop!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" They heard an evil laugh afterwards, they turned to Eris with pure disgust on their faces. "That's just a little sample of what I'm about to do to you, Kakyoin, you'll be so paralyzed by your phobias that you won't even recognize yourself! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!" Eris has let out a wicked laugh once again, she has officially lost her mind.

Finally having enough of Eris' torment, Medea stood straight up and yelled out in anger: "That's it, Eris! I'm kicking your ass for this!"

"Heh... I like to see you try, bitch." Was all Eris had to say before her Stand started to expand again, Kakyoin's skin started to crawl when he saw Medea running to the wicked woman despite not having her Stand, there's no way she could defend herself like this.

"M-M-Medea, please don't! It's suicide!" Oingo stuttered, but Medea didn't listen.

"PAINT HER BLACK, [NEPHTHYS]!" Eris called out to her Stand, and on command starts rushing to Medea.

"..." Medea didn't flinch, she continues to run to punch Eris despite being in danger. "...HEY!" Suddenly, Medea got dragged back by [Hierophant Green]'s tentacles. "Let me go! I got this!" Medea called out while pounding on [Hierophant Green]'s face.

"Ngh! Got nothing! It's too risky!" Kakyoin exclaimed while feeling his face getting sore from Medea pounding his Stand, [Hierophant Green] takes him and Medea away.

"RUN GUYS! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Oingo calls out to the two as [Nephthys] chases the two down like animals, the [Hierophant] started climbing the hospital building to get away from the black smoke. Meanwhile, Medea was shaking her fist, [Flogging Molly]'s arm flickered for a moment.

"Come on, [Molly]! Wake up! We need "Drunken Lullaby"!" Medea exclaimed.

"It's no use! Your Stand needs more time to recover!"

"Goddammit all!" They continue to climb the building until finally they reached the top.

"Hah...hah...We made it." Kakyoin panted before they started running. "But she won't stop until she catches us, we have to get out of here and find a way to Cairo without her knowing."

"But you're still blind in one eye, and my body is still cold from the Sepsis." Medea said.

"I know, but the Speedwagon Foundation can help us along the wa-AAAH!" Kakyoin was suddenly dragged by his ankle, Medea looked and found that [Nephthys] had caught up to them a lot quicker than they'd hope.

"KAKYOIN!" Medea quickly grabbed his upper arms and tried to pull him back.

"Ngh! [H-Hierophant Green]!" Kakyoin struggled as his Stand tried to pull him back as well, but the black mass was proven to be a lot stronger than earlier. "D-don't give up, Medea!" Kakyoin yells, holding onto Medea's upper arms as she holds onto his.

"Nnnngh! [Nephthys] is getting too stroooong!" Medea cries out, slowly losing her strength as [Nephthys] continues to pull. She then felt his hands slipping. "Don't let go! Don't let go! Don't let go! Don't let go-" Medea starts repeating this.

"I'm tryiiiiing!" Kakyoin struggles to keep his hold onto Medea as he starts slipping.

Down below, Eris smirks evilly, she finally has the upper hand with her targets, she continues to pull [Nephthys] back so it can pull Kakyoin to his doom and overwhelm Medea. She sees that the teenager is struggling to keep his hold through her binoculars, this cause her to mutter: "...I win." Before pulling her Stand back one last time.

"AH!" Before anyone can blink, Kakyoin loses his grip and let's Medea go.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Was what Medea cried out as she helplessly watched Kakyoin and his Stand fall into the darkness below, back first. The last thing she saw of him was his distressed and scared expression as he reaches out for her in vain.
