After we left the table and Avdol decided to flip it, to protect himself from Silver Chariot's attack, we saw that a clock madea of fire was portrayed on the table, and this Frenchie provoked us to a fight.


"Honestly...Mais, Monsieur Francais? Comment t'appelles-tu? ( What's your name? )" I ask in flawless French, making him widen his eyes.
"Mademoiselle, you speak French? I'm flattered beyond belief! Je m'appelle Jean-Pierre Polnareff! Est quel est votre nom, ma belle mademoiselle?" he smirked, stepping forward with a cheesy smile.
"Ange de feu. ( Angel of Fire )" I spoke in a low voice, as my hair caught on fire, and I made the table explode with the snap of my fingers.
"They say the world was engulfed with fire at the beginning. If it's you, I wouldn't mind being your whole world." he smirked, taking out 6 coins from his pocket. "Before I defeat you, would you allow me to show off?" he didn't wait for a response, for he threw them in the air, using his Silver Chariot rapier to hit them all in the middle, in a straight line.
"He pierced all 5 of them in a single stab!" Joseph pointed out.
"Look again, Grandpa. There are only 5 coins. The 6th..." I turned to the side with a condescending look, flipping the 6th coin in my hand. "...Is right here." I chuckled fox-like, before turning my attention to Polnareff. "I couldn't possibly let only you show off, right, Monsieur~?"
"Tres magnifique, ma fleur! Then, shall we begin our spar? My Stand, represented by the Chariot card, suggest conquest and victory. I could end things right here in this cramped room, but, mon Ange, your flame is much stronger out in the open, is it not? It's only right that my Stand defeats you under the fairest of circumstances - A true victory!" he boasted, leading us to the Tiger Balm Garden.
"Huh...He really is an arrogant guy...I don't think he'll like it when he loses. Tragique." I shrugged, walking ahead nonchalantly.
"If I may, your French accent is really beautiful, Katrina. I believe you're a foreigner, correct?" he asks, walking besides me.
"Awww, merci beaucoup, mon petit cerise rouge! ( my little red cherry ). Yes, in fact, I'm half-Italian, half-British...Unlike Gramps here who's full British, but doesn't act like a true gentleman, like his own Grandpa, Jonathan, used to." I giggled teasingly, stealing a glance back at Joseph.
"Sofia spent way too much time around Lisa Lisa...And myself." he sighed, as we walked up the stairs.

"Here we are! Now, cherie, I will make a prediction for you. First of all, you will be engulfed in the flames that you hold so dear. Secondly, after you see the shameful defeat that you've encountered by my hand, you will fall in love with me!" he boasted, smirking confidently.
"Oh, give me a break! I like flirting, but what you're doing is so cheap, it's irritating! Besides, didn't your mum tell you not to play with fire?" I rolled my eyes, stepping in the middle, facing him. "Lilium, come out!" I yell, as my fox-like Stand towered behind me, glaring mysteriously at the man challenging me, with piercing emerald eyes matching mine. "Call Of Nature!" I cried out, feeling the power of the elements surging through me.


Then, Silver Chariot started coming at Lilium, trying to pierce her, but she was much too fast for him. Instead, he mocked me by sculpting the statue behind me by making it a fox.



"Joseph, get them away from here! Now, Lilium! Heaven's On Fire!" I felt Kitsune create a barrage of fire that she sent at Silver Chariot, but he easily cut through it, somehow sending it back at me.
"See, cherie? Didn't I tell you that you'll be engulfed by your own flames?" he laughed patronising, but I couldn't only laugh back.
"I'm sorry, Polnareff, but you're just a huge salope (bitch)! The Elements would never hurt me! I am The Shaman! Lilium, now! Heaven's On Fire!" I yelled once again, sending all the flames at him, burning him greatly. "Mother Nature favours me, fool." I flipped my long red hair back, as I high-fived Lilium.
"What a terrifying power! His Stand must have melted after taking that attack. It's over!" Joseph praised with a slight-horrified look.
"Those are nasty burns. He's dead, or close to it, if he's lucky. Well, maybe not lucky." Jotaro pointed out, which made me chuckle.
"Either way, he isn't going anywhere fast." Kakyoin stated, but Lilium tapped my shoulder.
"Guys...I don't think this is actually over." I mutter just loud enough for them to hear.
"You did well, Katrina. Let us continue our journey to Egypt." Avdol signed for me to come to them, but just them, Silver Chariot's armor exploded, which made the whole place full of smoke, so I hurried to the guys so I wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.
"Bravo! Oh, bravo, ma belle!" Polnareff clapped, floating mid-air, in a very awkward back-bent position that gave me anxiety.
"Please, get off, you're making me extremely uncomfortable and nervous posing like that." I point out, which made him do a few backflips before landing on the ground, next to his Chariot, that had its armor shed.
"You seem surprised, cherie! Well, it would be dishonorable of me to defeat you before I explained my previous move. It's only fair, after all." he began, as I rushed up the stairs again, to face him.
"So, your Stand's armor was shed so you wouldn't get any damage, huh? Let me guess, it will be faster too, right?" I sighed, crossing my arms in annoyance.
"Mais, oui, cherie! Tres bien! You saw how Chariot was lifting me up, yes? Indeed! That's just how fast it is now!" he spoke proudly of his Stand.
"Great, that was easy enough. So next time I burnt it, you're grill meat! Fun!" I snapped my fingers sassily.
"Hah, oui, precisely. Mais, that's impossible! I'm gonna show you something that will blow your socks off!" he spoke out loud, glaring at me.
"I'm sorry, I don't have that word in my Vocabulary. For me, nothing is impossible! And...Who the hell uses that expression?! It's so lame!" I stick out my tongue, taunting him.

"His Stand just created 6...No, 7 duplicates!" Joseph cried out, as indeed, I could see duplicates.
"No...A person can only have 1 Stand...There must be a trick regarding its speed...Or something like that." I sweatdropped nervously.
"You are correct. There are afterimages of my Stand that will confuse not just your sight, but all of your senses. You don't stand a chance of keeping up with it." Polnareff threatened.
"Is that so? Then, if you will allow me...Kakyoin, will you borrow me your scarf, please? I promise not to burn it off." I ask, walking towards him.
"S-Sure...What do you intend to do?" he asked nervously.
"He said he will confused my senses, right? But then, what if I have no senses to begin with? Sure, I can't really do anything about my skin sense, yet I can do something about my sight and hearing." I smirked, as I covered my eyes with the scarf and walked back to the fighting area. "Lilium and I are one...Together, we are Kitsune. She is The Shaman, I am The Trickster. Together, we are The Sage. Together, we can do anything. My Stand, as it is, is a low-ranged one...But our powers cover any range. So, Polnareff, come!" I cried out, letting Lilium fuse with me, as I let her control me from within. "Wind Of Change!" I cried out, letting wind help me move faster so I could dodge any attack.
"Is that all you can do, cherie?! Run away?! That's not very honourable, now, is it?!" he laughed conceited.
"Run away...? Why, Polnareff, I think you're missing something here, and that is the fact that I have no reason to attack your Stand, when I could just as well attack you! HEAVEN'S ON FIRE!" I let a huge fire engulf me, as it shot at a blinking speed right at Polnareff, making him look like a toasted marshmallow that screamed in agony.
"You did it, Katrina! Well done!" I heard Joseph's praise, and that's when I knew I could take off the scarf, putting it around my neck as I approached him.
"Yo...I could either kill you very fast and painlessly...Or I could heal you up like you were never damaged. You choose." I explain, crouching down next to him.
"Je suis desole, cherie. I was conceited. I didn't think your flames were any match for my swordsmanship. I'll die honourably by burning to death. Since you were able to defeat me, I'll accept my fate out of respect. Anything else would be dishonourable." with his last words, his head fell on the ground, which made me ground in annoyance.
"Oh, spare me!" I growled, releasing the fire, as it attached itself to my long hair. "Just shut up and let me heal you." I grumbled. "Oi, guys, can you wait like 5 minutes? I can't let this guy die here. It'd be like kicking a puppy on the side road." I sighed, shrugging as I rolled him with his face to the sky.
"I don't deserve this..." he tried to grumble, but I only glared at him.
"One more word, and I swear to God, I'm going to make sure you wish you'd have never learnt how to speak." I threatened, as I sighed, taking a deep breath, putting my hands over his chest. "November Rain." I muttered, letting the small molecules of water from his body accelerate the mitotic cell regeneration, and he was good to go pretty fast.
"Whoa! It's like none of that happened! Cherie, you truly are an angel!" he cheered, before I realised that in his forehead there was a flesh bud similar to Kakyoin's, which made me shudder.
"Jotaro, can you help me out a bit? I take the flesh bud, you keep him still? Shouldn't take too long, but I doubt this guy, while awake, will stay as still as Nori-chan." I explained, feeling done with life.
"N-Nori-chan...?" I could hear Kakyoin's soft voice call out in shock.
"Sure." was Jotaro's blunt response as he kneeled by his head, keeping him still with Star Platinum, as I called out Lilium and repeated the same process once again, while straddling his waist.
"C-Cherie, so bold...!" Polnareff's face reddened, which made me sneer at him.
"Don't flatter yourself, you, idiot. You're nowhere near as cute as Kakyoin." I grumbled, feeling my eye twitch in annoyance as the stupid tentacles attacked me once again, yet now they seemed bigger.
"Those tentacles are nastyyyyy!!" Joseph shuddered in place, trying to look away as his voice was remarkably pitched.
"Joseph! Don't gross me out more than I already am!" I whined, taking away the flesh bud and cutting it with Hamon. "There, all good. Don't expect me to ever touch you again." I rolled my eyes, dusting myself as I stepped next to Joseph. "Thank you for your aid, Jotaro." I nodded at him, as he did the same.
"Good! Now that the flesh bud is gone, we can be bud-dies! Ba dum tsss!" Joseph laughed, letting Polnareff lean on him.
"That...Was horrible..." I slapped my face loudly, feeling done with life.
"Doesn't it piss you off when idiots make shitty puns?" sneered Jotaro.
"Kill me now." I shrugged, looking away.



After everything that happened calmed down, we went to the harbour, and Polnareff asked Joseph if he has 2 right hands...Which is when he started telling us his revenge story, how this man with 2 right hands, that works for Dio, most likely, raped and killed his sister, and that's also how he got possessed by Dio.
As well as that, he now wants to join us to get his revenge...

And 2 girls came to Jotaro, asking if he could take a pic of them, but Jotaro was annoyed by their pitch voice and yelled at them.



"Jotaro, it's okay, calm down, they meant no harm." I tried to coo at him, which is when Polnareff snatched the camera from their hands, saying how he will take pics of them.
"With banging legs like that, you need a full shot! I want to keep pushing and pushing and pushing my way into your hearts!" he kept trying to flirt with them, which is when I snatched away the camera from his hands.
"I won't let you make them uncomfortable, you, salope! Now, girls, tell me where and how, and it's all done. My friends back in England all liked it when I'd take scenic pics of them." I smiled kindly as I went in awkward positions to get the best angles with the best light and landscape.
"Whoaaa! You're amazing, we look so pretty! Thank you! Here, let us take some pics for you and we'll print them and send them to you via mail, if you'd like! Your outfit is so pretty and you look gorgeous! Where are you from?" they kept complimenting me, which made me cover my face with my hands, my cheeks getting the colour of roses.
"I-I'm half-Italian and half-British. I got my looks from my British side, but my personality from my Italian side. A-And th-thank you. H-Here, this is my address. Th-Thank you so much." I stutter, completely flustered.
"Aww, nice! Here, sit on the rail, turn your head to the side...Whoa, yes, perfect! The wind is blowing so nicely through your hair! Arch your back a bit, look slightly up and straighten your legs slightly...Oh my God, you're so beautiful! I'm so jealous!" said one of them, which made me lose my composure once again.
"Come on, don't be so modest. Look at us now, and make one of those innocent and angelic faces...Ah, never mind, you are embarrassed enough that it works perfectly with what I had in mind. Okay, all done! Thank you so much for everything! Can we take a group pic? Let's smile and make a peace sign! 1...2...3...Cheese! Sweet! See you around!" the other one, who put me in the middle, took a sort of selfie with the camera, before they left me alone, to make the walk of shame to the group, where Joseph was chuckling mockingly.
"Don't say one godamn word, Joseph Joestar, or I swear to God I will burn you to crisps." I muttered my threat, as I stole Kakyoin's scarf and made sure to bury my face in it so my rosy face won't be seen.
"You know, you sometimes remind me of Caesar so much. Do you also like collecting and playing with lighters?" Joseph cackled, making me stop abruptly in my tracks, facing him, as I took out a lighter and play with it dexterously, rolling it around my fingers like master poker men would flip cards around.
"Haha...I knew it. Having you around is really like having him around me once again. Only that you aren't so short-tempered and willing to fight all the time, like he was. Oh, and, you get flustered so easy! Should have seen him flirting, he'd get all women to swoon for him! What a macho!" Joseph grinned with nostalgia, making me smile softly at him.
"I'm...Really proud...Knowing that I have someone like Uncle Caesar as my relative. I only wish I would have been able to meet him, and not only hear about him from you, Grandma Suzie and Grandma Sofia..." I sighed, looking up at the sky.
"He would have been proud of you, Kat. Caesar-chan always held his family in high respect, even though he's never met many of them, like his father or grandfather, who was my own grandfather's good friend. I promise to tell you more about him when we get a break, okay?" he ruffled my hair, as I could only look at him with a soft smile.
"Thanks...Grandpa JoJo." I spoke softly, following him to the ship.



Everyone made themselves comfortable on the ship, with Jotaro sunbathing on the lounge chair, while striking a model-like pose, Kakyoin reading peacefully, I standing next to them, looking up at the clouds, enjoying the sun, despite my thin, dark green long sleeved blouse and black jeans that were blocking any way of me tanning, while Joseph took off his coat, remaining in a sailor-like tank top and Avdol having no problem with the heat.


"Can't you do something about those school uniforms?! Are you gonna stay dressed like that the entire time? Aren't you hot?" he asked, almost as if he was flexing.
"Well...They ARE pretty hot." I chuckled in amusement, not wanting to let the opportunity go away.
"Don't let that get to their head!" Joseph complained.
"We both are students, and students should dress as students. Though we might be pushing it." Kakyoin explained simply.
"Heh. I'm glad I don't have to wear a uniform anymore." I smirked, closing my eyes lazily.
"I see. Japanese students are so uptight." Joseph shrugged.
"You know, girls aren't gonna fall for uptight guys like you." Polnareff joked.
"You have no idea what a swarm of fangirls Jotaro has, and honestly, I'd be afraid to see it again." I chuckled, hearing Jotaro tsk besides me, before a young childlike voice called out in desperation.

"Let go! Let go of me, you big lug!" the kid kept screaming and trashing around in the arms of one of the sailor.
"Oi, I thought I said no passengers!" Joseph scolded the sailor.
"Sorry about that, it's a stowaway. This brat was hididng in the lower storage area." the sailor explained apologetically.
"C'mon and fight me! I'll break your balls!" the kid tried to break free.
"How vulgar..." I scoffed, looking at the display in disgust.



The fight between those two continued until the kid jumped in the ocean, which made me rush to the railing, gasping at the kid's idiocy.



"What the hell...?" I mumbled in shock.
"Leave 'em. The kid must be a confident swimmer to brazenly dive in like that." Jotaro explained nonchalantly.
"B-But Jotaro, we are still in the ocean...And there's no land anywhere near...!" my brows furrowed in concern.
"Oh no, this is bad! Sharks!" Kakyoin spoke his concerns out loud, along with the others.
"Hey, kid! Come back here, I'll come rescue you! There are sharks around you!" I tried to scream at her, as I jumped over the rail, landing perfectly on the sheen of the water. "Lilium, fuse! November Rain! Come!" I spoke as I ran at the kid, before crouching and yanking them upwards from the ocean, holding her bridal style.
"Wh-What are you doing?!" they trashed around, as I kept trying to keep them steal, until I unintentionally touched their chest.
"Knew it. You are a girl. No wonder you were hiding." I sighed, flicking away the hat. "At least you have pretty hair." I looked at her with annoyance, walking back to the ship, before I heard a commotion from behind me that made me snap my head back, trying to get what was going on.
"Katrina, get back fast! Something's attacking from underwater! It's not a shark!" Joseph's alarmed voice called out from the ship.
"Kakyoin, a bit of help, please?" I asked, rushing towards the ship, as I grabbed one of Hierophant Green's tendrils and let myself get pulled back to the ship, just before something attacked the place I was standing on.
"Are you okay, Katrina?" the red haired boy asked, as I let the girl stand on the boat.
"Yeah...I think so...Was that a Stand just now?" I looked at him in shock.
"Most likely. An Aquatic Stand...Even I have never seen such an ability such as this." Avdol declared, nervously.



Just as the boys kept thinking she could be a Stand User, she tried to look tough by threatening us with a knife, until the captain came and tried to take her away, as Jotaro lit up a cigarette.

"H-Hey, don't rough her up so much! She's still just a little, scared girl who wants to see her dad." I stepped forward, trying to make things simpler.
"Captain...I have to ask, but did you verify the identities of all 10 men on board?" Joseph asked cautiously, as I felt an ominous aura, stepping backwards, next to Jotaro.
"H-Hey...Can I ask you something...?" I muttered, grasping his uniform sleeve gently.
"Hmm...?" he grunted, leaning back slightly to my level.
"Doesn't the Captain give you some...Bad vibes...? I'm not sure if he's just intimidated or he really could be a bad guy." I whispered in his ear, making sure nobody paid us any attention.
"You may be onto something." he nodded at me, shifting out focus to the conversation at hand, trying to catch any suspicious move, which is when we realised that the Captain was striding towards us angrily.
"U-UHm....?" I tried to say something, but I could only hide behind Jotaro's arm, as the Captain snatched away his cigarette from his mouth.
"Please refrain from smoking on this ship. What were you planning to do with the ashes and butt when you finished? Were you going to toss them into this beautiful ocean? You're a guest on this ship, so you must follow her rules, Mr. Outlaw." the Captain put out the cigarette on one of the golden accessories on Jotaro's hat, before throwing it in his uniform jacket's pocket, which left everyone speechless. "You got it?" he let a small, amused breath before turning back to the girl.
"H-Hey! Why did you have to be so rude? You didn't have to disrespect him like that! You could have just told him to put it out!" I glared at him, extremely pissed by his rudeness.
"Hold it." Jotaro spoke out to the Captain, as he put a hand on my shoulder, to calm me down. "It's just as she said. Don't be a condescending prick about it, you asshole." Jotaro spoke in a hostile manner to him.
"Hey, Katrina, Jotaro! Quit being rude to the captain! It was your fault anyway." Joseph warned us, but Jotaro paid him no mind.
"Katrina is gentle girl, but I'm not done being rude just yet. She told me to be more aware, and I figured it out. This guy's not the captain. He's the Stand User!" Jotaro declared, making everyone around us gasp in shock.
"Sta...Nd? What, pray tell, is that?" the Captain played dumb, while everyone in our party took his side.
"I figured out how you can tell a Stand user from a normal person. That is, if a Stand user inhales even a little bit of cigarette smoke, a vein pops up on the tip of their nose." Jotaro declared dramatically, and it made everyone, except for the girl, touch their nose in surprise.
"You can't be serious, Jotaro!" Polnareff cried out in a pitched voice.
"Yeah, I was lying. However...It looks like we found our dumbass." Jotaro explained, which made the Captain's dark aura became even darker than before.
"Jotaro, how did you become so suspicious of him?" Joseph asked sternly.
"I didn't. I had no suspicion at all. Katrina came to me and told me she sensed something dark in him, so I thought I would try this with every man on board, beginning with him." Jotaro spoke calmly, as I made my way to the little girl, trying to stand protectively next to her.
"You're cold. Goddamn, you're ice cold. I'm not really the Captain. The real Captain is sleeping with the fishes at the bottom of the ocean in Hong Kong." the villain explained smugly.
"Then I'll make you sleep in the depths of Hell!" Jotaro threatened, with a strong sense of justice.


Just as he said that, I found myself dragged away from the ship by a monster-...A Stand, rather said, and it was holding me so tight that I could barely breath.



"H-Hey, let me go! Hey, kid, go runaway, it's dangerous here!" I tried to speak between pants.
"Even for a guy like me, taking all of you on at once would be a bone-breaking task. Which is why my plan was to stay hidden and take all of you out 1-by-1. Woman, since you were the smartass to figure me out, I guess I have no choice as to kill you first! Getting you first, so easily, is a sign that my luck is changing. I'll just be jumping into these shark-infested waters with her. Of course, you'll end up following us in, to save her! If we fight in the water where I have the advantage, I can beat all 6 of you at once!" the Captain boasted, making me sweat-drop in anxiety.
"Lilium, come out! Attack this jerk! Come on, Heaven's on fire!" I cry out, but before I knew it, the Stand crossed my arms behind my back dangerously painful, so tight as if they were at snapping point, making me yelp in pain.
"I heard you Stand, Star Platinum, is pretty fast. I'm not trying to brag, but my Dark Blue Moon is really fast in water. It can swim more elegantly than any fish in the sea." the enemy bragged, and I could feel panic build up in me, getting flashbacks of similar situations.
"J-Jo..Taro...! Run...Away...!" I tried to warn, as I could feel any kind of physical strength I had left leave me.
"Follow me...If you're prepared to choke to death on all the seawater you're about to swallow!" the enemy jumped from the rail, along with me.
"I CAN'T BREATHE UNDERWATER!!!" I managed to shriek, closing my eyes, what the barrage of Ora Ora's that I heard next made me gasp, as the Stand left me alone, and Star Platinum grasped my arm, pulling me back to the ship.
"You're the only one who's going to choke on seawater. Avdol, tell him." Jotaro made a thumbs down sign.
"If my prediction is correct..." he began, before leting Polnareff continue.
"You're 10 years too early." he grinned childishly. "He's drifting away. He really talked up his Stand's power, but it tuns out he was just another idiot." Polnareff laughed mockingly.
"No...I don't think this is over. Dio wouldn't make just anyone attack us...Ah! JOTARO, LET GO OF ME, RIGHT NOW!!!" I called out as I noticed barnacles starting to get up Star Platinum's arm, and in turn, hurting his own arm.
"No! You were right, this isn't over. He attached these to me earlier when I hit him. They keep multiplying! My Stand's strength is being drained." Jotaro explained, as it took all the men in our team to keep him in the ship.
"LET ME GO ALREADY! IT'S HURTING YOU! Bring back Star Platinum!" I suggested, feeling anxiety surge through me seeing Jotaro in distress.
"I wouldn't be sweating so much if I could!" with that, Jotaro fell from the ship, but he had enough strength to launch me upwards, for Kakyoin to catch me with the help of his Stand, pulling me back on the ship.
"DAMN IT! JOTARO!!!" I gripped the rail tightly, breathing hard. "Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT! This is all my fault! No, no, no, no, no, it's is not okay, not okay at all! What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?!" I kept freaking out, trying to think of a plan, but he wasn't coming back up.
"Katrina, calm down! We won't save him by panicking!" Kakyoin put his hands on my shoulders, trying to calm me down.
"I'm sorry, I'm not as cool as Jotaro, I can't stop my anxiety...But I can act accordingly." I pushed him away before I jumped off the rails and made a dive in the ocean, not caring of anyone's screams, and taking a deep breath, I fuse with Lilium and created an air bubble around my head so I would be able to breath, to some extent, when I noticed Jotaro and swam to him.



It was then that the whirlpool began to form, and just before the bastard could notice me, I latched myself on Jotaro's back, making the air bubble big enough for him to breath in as well.



"There are barnacles everywhere, and the whirlpool is filled with razor sharp scales. At least they don't cut too deep, despite being so many..." I spoke out loud, hoping that Jotaro will come up with a smart idea. "I put my trust in you, Jotaro. I can't think straight when someone spins me around, but I know you can solve this! In a whirlpool, only the center part stays still, but I'm sure that jerk already knows this, and has a trap for if we would try to get there, so we have to think at least 3 steps ahead!" I breathed hard, before biting my lip. "I will put an armor of healing water on you so those things won't be able to hurt you. In additionon, I will let you be the one to breathe into the bubble, I put my trust in you." I take a deep breath, getting my head out of the bubble, and concentrating on keeping everything around him as it is, all while keeping myself attached to his back.



Spinning so fast made me panic very hard and I felt myself sick to my stomach, which is why I closed my eyes and unconsciously gripped Jotaro's jacket tighter, while leaning my forehead on the blades of his shoulders, trying to find some sort of stability.
That's when I felt him kept limp all at once, and I realised that he was acting accordingly to his shrewd plan.
Next thing I know, I can feel blood in the water, and opening my eyes, I see the villain succumbing underwater with blood gushing from everywhere.



"Turns out it was you who was turned into Sashimi." Jotaro's punchlines were sure something else. "What's that? I can't hear you well underwater. Speak up!" he shouted angrily.
"But your power was being drained...You went limp on purpose...Th-That's what you were thinking..." the evil man stuttered.
"Wrong. What I was thinking was...If you pissed yourself after you lost, I'd be fucking disgusted since we're underwater, old geezer." Jotaro's last taunt made me forget any last bit of anxiety I had left, and I laughed, forgetting that I was holding my breath in. "Come on, let's get back to the surface." Jotaro turned around and put on arm around me, as he used the other to swim upwards.
"Goodness, I never realised how much I loved breathing." I started coughing up, almost feeling as if a lung was going to leave me. "Anyway, that was really cool of you. Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked, slicking my hair backwards, looking at him worriedly.
"No, I'm fine. You should use that water to heal yourself." he noted, as we swam towards the ship.
"...I can't." I spoke bluntly.
"Huh?" he raised his eyebrow at me.
"I tried before, but it never worked. I'm not sure if it doesn't work altogether, or if I have to get stronger for it to work...I really don't know. But for now, guess I'll have to remain to the old-school childhood look, filled with cuts, scabs and plasters." I chuckled weakly, but our conversation came to a halt because the ship exploded, so everyone had to get in emergency boats.


While on these boards, I kept my head leaned on Jotaro's shoulder, until the kid spit out the water and freaked out, pointing to a huge godamn ship that came towards us.



"Please, for the love of anything good in this world, make this be a Stand-Free ship..." I sighed, feeling exhausted and dead inside.
"Doubt we'd have that privilege." Jotaro pointed out, half-jokingly.


And so, despite skeptical and reluctant, we had to get in the ship, praying for the best.
