EPISODES 25-26

Y/n's POV

We were in a desert waiting

"Man it's hot" I say fanning myself

"Just wait a little longer" Joseph says. Suddenly we all hear airplane noises. We all turn

"Wh-What's that?" Polnareff asks

"They're here" Joseph says with a smirk as the plane approaches

"It's a helicopter!" Polnareff

Obviously

"You don't have to state the obvious. We can see that" Kakyoin says

"I think we're twins" I say to Kakyoin which causes him to laugh

"That's a helicopter from the Speedwagon Foundation. They're looking for a place to land" Joseph says

"Speedwagon Foundation? Your old friends who are taking care of Mom back in Japan?" Jotaro asks

"Yeah, that's right" Joseph says as the plane begins to land

"Don't tell me we're going for a ride in that helicopter" Jotaro says. I feel dread crawl up my spine

"No. As much as I'd like to, the crew aren't stand users. If we were attacked, they would be at risk" Joseph says

"Then why is that helicopter here?" Kakyoin asks

"They've brought us a helper" Joseph says. All of our eyes widened

"What? A helper?" Polnareff asks

"He has a few personality issues, so it's taken a while to get him here" Joseph says

"Mister Joestar! It's impossible for him to come with us on this trip! There's no way he could be helpful" Avdol says

Who is this guy?

"Do you know him Avdol?" Kakyoin asks

"Yeah, very well" Avdol says

"Hold on. If he's a helper, that means he's a stand user, right?" Jotaro asks

I wonder if he's cute

"He's the stand user whose stand suggest the card called The Fool" Joseph says

"The Fool? Hah! That card sounds like an idiot" Polnareff says giggling

"Better than being an actual idiot" I say with a smirk. He gives me a glare

"We're lucky that he's not our enemy. You wouldn't be able to beat him" Avdol says. I start laughing. Polnareff glares at Polnareff

"What'd you say, you jerk? You'd better watch your mouth" Polnareff says grabbing Avdol's shirt

"It's the truth. And what's with the hand? That hurts" Avdol says. Polnareff now has him with both hands

"Sounding all high-and-mighty and stuff-" Polnareff began but was cut off

"Knock it off already" Kakyoin says walking towards the landed plane

"The helicopter landed" He says

"No need to state the obvious" I say giggling. Kakyoin's eye twitched. He then flicked my head.

"Ow you cherry loving b-" I was cut off as I rubbed my head

"Enough" Joseph says. The door opened. Two men nodded at us which I gave them a confused look in response

"Mister Joestar! Thank goodness you're safe" Man #1 said

He's not that cute

"Thanks for coming out here. I appreciate it" Joseph says

"So. Who's the stand user?" Jotaro asks. They don't respond

"I'm asking which one of you is the stand user. Is it you?" Jotaro asks

"No, it's not either of us. Hes in the backseat" Man #2 says. One of them opened the door

Huh? There's just a blanket. Wait, what if it was like an animal or something. Still would be cute just not the cute I was thinking of

"The back seat. I don't see anyone there" Jotaro says. Polnareff got cocky as usual

"No, he's there" The man said. Polnareff walked to the front

"Hey, hey, hey! You say he's there, but where is he? Is he really short or something? Get out here! Come on!" Polnareff says hitting the seats

"W-Watch out!" The man says

"Hm? What's this sticky stuff?" Polnareff asks playing with it

That's disgusting

"Please, be careful! The helicopter ride was rough, so he's in a really bad mood" The man says

"Don't get close to him! I told you, he's got some personality issues!" Joseph says

"Polnareff, you can't win" Avdol says

"And I'm asking where he is-" Polnareff stops when we all see the blanket shaking. It starts coming towards Polnareff. A dog jumps out

"Whoa! H-H-H-H-H-He's.." Polnareff trails off

"A dog!" Kakyoin says

He's kind of cute, I mean not in the way I was originally hoping but it's a dog. And dogs are cute

"Don't tell me this dog is.." Jotaro trails off

"Yes! He is The Fool stand's user. His name is Iggy. He loves to tear out human hair by the mouthful. We don't know where he was born. When even the dog catchere in New York couldn't get him, Avdol was able to find and finally capture him. Oh, I just remembered. While he's ripping out hair, he likes to fart in the humans face. He's kind of vulgar" Joseph says as Iggy facts on Polnareff. I was on the ground crying from laughter. Polnareff got Iggy off and he landed on the ground. Polnareff fell to the ground

"You're gonna pay for that! Chariot!" Polnareff yells as he pulls out his stand. The sand begins to move. We all then see Iggy's stand

"Th-That's.." Polnareff trails off

"So that's The Fool" Jotaro says

"We met an orangutan Stand user off the shore of Singapore, but.." Kakyoin trails off

"What's next? A bird?" I ask

"Who do you think you are, you stupid mutt?! Don't make me cut you in half!" Polnareff says as he slices Iggy's stand. But it does no damage

"What the?! It's like it's turning into sand. I-I can't cut it! Now it became soldiers and swallowed up my sword!" Polnareff says as the sand surrounds his sword

"That's.." Kakyoin trails off

"Simply put, it's a stand made out of sand" Avdol says

"Yeah, and the simpler they are, the stronger they are. I'm not sure if I could hit it" Jotaro says. Iggy got on top of Polnareff and began ripping his hair out once more

"Hey! Help! Do something about this dog!" Polnareff cries out

"Sorry, Polnareff, but I'm not about to get my hair ripped out, too" Kakyoin says

"You monster!" Polnareff cries out

"Do you have his treats?" Avdol asks

"If we didn't, we wouldn't have been able to make it here" The man says putting his hand in his pocket to grab something. Iggy stops and turns. He then runs over as the man hands it to Avdol

"His sense of smell is incredible" Avdol says.

"What is that?" Kakyoin asks. I take a closer look

"I think it's gum" I say squinting at the brown box

"Like Miss Y/n has said, this is coffee-flavored chewing gum. It's Iggy's favorite treat, and he'll do anything for it" Avdol says grabbing a stick of it

"Mr. Avdol! Keep the box hidden from-" The man said but Iggy had already taken the box

"Oh, no! He got the box!" Avdol says. Iggy began eating the gum, box, paper and all

"He loves coffee-flavored chewing gum, but he still won't let his guard down for anyone" Joseph says.

"He's cute" I say walking over

"Miss Y/n that's not the best idea-" Avdol says as Iggy began to growl out me. I gave him a harsh glare which shut him up. I then crouched and began petting him. Avdol and Joseph watched in awe as he allowed me to pet him while he ate

"How did you manage?" Avdol asks. I turn to him

"A magician never tells her secrets" I say

"Good grief" Jotaro says

"My beautiful hair has been thinned" Polnareff cries out as he begins fixing his hair

"While he's eating the gum, he should be fine. Let's get the supplies out now" The man says. Joseph walked away and we all began heading towards the car when Joseph called us all

"Hey, you guys" Joseph says holding a camera.

Are we taking a picture?

We all got in place. Jotaro was standing at the top left. Beside him was Kakyoin and then Avdol. I was crouching in the rock just behind Polnareff as I messed up his hair. Polnareff was holding Joseph's head up and Joseph had Iggy in his lap. The photo was taken and Polnareff got mad

"My hair! My beautiful hair!" He whines out. He shoves my hand away which causes me to lose balance. I began falling backwards when a pair of hands helped me up

"Oh thanks- Star Platinum?" I ask as I see purple hands. He looks at me with a smile. My own stand comes out and the two begin conversing. Me and Jotaro watched confused

"Why are they doing that?" I asked Jotaro

"I'm not sure" He says

"Look! The picture is ready!" Joseph says as he hands the photo to Kakyoin

"I see. It'll make a nice memory" Kakyoin says. We were all given one and I saw Jotaro smile at the photo. Polnareff then yelled

"Avdol! Hurry up with the gum!" Polnareff said as he ran from Iggy

"But you're already such good friends, Polnareff!" Avdol says laughing. The helicopter then got ready to leave

"Mister Joestar, we'll be taking our leave now" The man says

"There's something I'd like to ask you, about my daughter. How is Holly doing? Give it to me straight" Joseph says

"Well, sir. I hate to say this, but I'm afraid she's not doing very well. Her energy is fading, and her life remains in danger. According to the doctors from our Speedwagon Foundation, she'll be lucky if she survived for another two weeks" The man says. I felt Jotaro stiffen beside me. I gave him a pat on the back hoping to give him some reassurance that we would save her

"There's no time" Kakyoin says

"We can do it, and if not, we'll all die trying" I say. They all nod

"Also, we have some information for you. According to the report, two days ago. Nine mysterious men and women gathered in a building that Dio is believed to be hiding in, and they all departed together" The man says. All of our eyes widened

"Dio and nine others?" Joseph asks

"We don't know who they are. The person who reported this was killed, and the mansion had already been cleared out. We were unable to locate the nine men and women. Any further investigation of this matter is impossible for us, since we are not stand users" The man says

"Were they new stand users?" Polnareff asks

"Hold on. Any remaining stand users with stands that suggest Tarot cards. Excluding Hol Horse's Emperor, the only card left is The World. I had thought that The World would be Dio's stand, but Avdol?" Kakyoin asks him

"I-I don't know. I have no idea. Nine of them?" Avdol asks

"Apparently, Dio's head hasn't gotten used to its new body yet. Dio is very proud, so there's no way he'd flee from Cairo. It would appear that he's trying to stop us from reaching Cairo" Joseph says

"Good grief. There's only two weeks left, and nine of them. We might end up a little tired" Jotaro says

"We'll be off, then. Please have a safe trip" The man says as they shake hands

"Thank you. Take care of Holly" Joseph says. The man gets into the helicopter and it flies off

~Time Skip~

We're all in a car now. Joseph and Jotaro are in the front. I'm in the back seat with Iggy and Avdol, Kakyoin and Polnareff are in the very back.

"Mister Joestar, can't you do something about this? Why is this little dog sitting in the seat while we're in the back? It's so cramped, my back hurts" Polnareff says

"How do you think I normally feel?" I ask

"You'll have to wait until the flavor from his beloved coffee gum fades. Once that happens, I'll throw a new piece of gum into the back so he'll go there. Then you can change seats" Joseph says. Polnareff goes to touch Iggy but Iggy began to growl so Polnareff yanked his hand away in fear. I began petting Iggy

"You aren't... scared of a dog... now are you?" I ask with a smirk

"Of course not!" Polnareff says. Iggy began barking at Polnareff

"All right, all right. Calm down!" Polnareff says. Joseph suddenly slams on the breaks

"What?!" Polnareff asks

"L-Look! Over there!" Joseph says getting out. We all follow in the same suit to see the helicopter crashed onto the ground

"Th-That's the helicopter!" Joseph says pointing

"The Speedwagon Foundation helicopter that flew off earlier is down in the sand!" Kakyoin says

"There's no sign that it was attacked" Avdol says

"It's like it just fell to the ground" Kakyoin says

"It couldn't be!" Polnareff says

"Be careful! It's very likely we'll be attacked by the enemy's stand!" Joseph says

"Look! It's the pilot!" Jotaro says. We all look to see the pilot. His hands clawed at the side of the helicopter. Water filled in his mouth

"He's dead" Jotaro says

"This is horrible. Approach carefully. Something could be hiding there" Joseph says. We all walk over. Jotaro checks the man's mouth

"It's water" Jotaro says as the water flows out of the man's mouth. A fish comes out of his mouth

"So much water. It's coming from the pilot's mouth. No, from his lungs. There's even a small fish. He drowned in the middle of the desert!" Jotaro says

"What on earth?" Joseph asks

"H-Hey. The other one's over here. He's alive!" Polnareff says. Me, Jotaro and Joseph rush over. The man was flat on the ground. He looked like he had been malnourished. His breathing was light yet heavy

"Are you all right? Get a hold of yourself! What on earth happened?" Joseph asks

"Wa... Water...." The man croaks out

"What? You want water? Polnareff, hand me that canteen" Joseph says. Polnareff grabs the canteen

"Right" Polnareff says as he hands it to Joseph

"Here, get a hold of yourself. Here's some water. Drink slowly" Joseph says as he holds the canteen near the man's mouth. The man began to scream

"No! The water's going to attack!" The man yells. Suddenly water comes out

"What?!" Joseph asks. The water looked like a hand and covered the man's face. It ripped his face and head off. Blood gushing out of the wound. I stared horrified at how gory the scene before me was. Sure I had slit a man's throat, but he was a bad guy and killed a bunch of people. This was different

"I-It's the enemy stand! The enemy stand is inside that canteen! The Speedwagon Foundation crew wasn't part of this fight, but they were still attacked! Avdol did you see what kind of stand it was?" Joseph asked Polnareff

"I only saw a hand, but it's still inside the canteen! I haven't seen it leave. Who could it be? They mentioned that Dio gathered nine men and women. Is the attacker one of them, then?" Avdol asks himself

"Jotaro, locate the enemy's body" Joseph says. I turn to see Jotari looking through binoculars with Star

"I'm looking for it right now, but the enemy's body isn't anywhere I can see. I even looked for something like that stupid mirror The Sun had, but it seems the enemy is operating from very far away" Jotaro says. Polnareff and Kakyoin were across from me, Avdol, Joseph and Jotaro.

"Polnareff, attacked the canteen" Kakyoin says

"Huh? Me? Th-The pilot's head was completely sucked into that tiny little canteen. So if I poke a hole in that thing. No! Kakyoin! You're closer! You should just hit it with an Emerald Splash!" Polnareff says

"I don't want to. Don't try to make someone do something you won't do yourself! What is wrong with you?!" Polnareff asks

"No means no" Kakyoin says

"Well, I say that I don't want to do it, either!" Polnareff says. We then see water come from the ground

"Th-This is.." Kakyoin trailed off. Shortly afterwords his eyes were cut.

"Kakyoin!" Polnareff yells. Our eyes went wide

"It's the water! It had already left the canteen, along with the blood!" Joseph says

"It's not that the stand was inside the canteen. The water is the stand!" Avdol says

"It got Kakyoin! I-It got Kakyoin's eyes! Y/n come heal him!" Polnareff says. I take out my stand and go to put up a shield so I can walk over there but Jotaro stops me

"No" He says

"Polnareff! Stoo panicking! Bring out Chariot and defend yourself!" Joseph says

"I'll be fine" I say

"You'll waste too much energy" He says

"Kakyoin could die" I say

"My gut says he'll be fine" Jotaro says. I groan

"If he dies, you'll be right next to him 6 feet under" I say with a glare. We then saw the water rise near Polnareff

"Crap. It's going to get Polnareff, too" Jotaro says. Suddenly a watch went off and made noise. The stand immediately attacked the noise

"What's going on? It attacked the pilot's corpse!" Joseph says

No that's wrong

"No, not the corpse. The watch. It attacked the watch's alarm" Jotaro says

"Sound! It attacks by locating sounds!" Avdol says

"Sounds?" Polnareff asks. The water suddenly came for Polnareff

"Polnareff! It's coming for you this time!" Joseph yells. Polnareff picked up Kakyoin and ran

"Run to the vehicle!" Joseph yelled. Polnareff was panting as he sprinted from the incoming water

"I-It's so fast!" Polnareff says. We all got ontop of the car

"Hurry, Polnareff!" Joseph yelled. The water cut Polnareff's ankle

"It cut me!" Polnareff cried out

"Hermit Purple!" Joseph yelled and used his stand to bring them both to the car. Because they were in range. I used my stand to heal them both. Although it was a lot slower and took more energy to do two people at once.

"It soaked into the ground" Avdol says

"The enemy can detect sound through vibrations in the ground. It can move freely around underground, without being seen and before we know it, it can attack us from behind or through the bottoms of our feet, and its user is able to remain far away" Joseph says

"H-How's Kakyoin?" Polnareff asks me

"He's being slowly healed along with your ankle. It's nothing life threatening but he'll probably have long term scars even with my healing. He'll also need to get checked by an eye doctor. There's a high risk, he's blind at the moment" I say. I decide not to heal either of them completely, only half way as I need to preserve energy but neither of them will get infections. Although Kakyoin's is more severe

"Let's drive" Avdol says as I make my stand disappear

"Yeah, he needs to see a doctor" I say

"But if we move, it'll attack. We can't be careless" Joseph says. Suddenly the water gets the car and we all began to fall

"What?!" Joseph asks. Everyone grabbed onto the car except for me and Kakyoin. Avdol had Kakyoin and two arms grabbed me. One was Polnareff's and the other was Jotaro's.

"The tires are in the water! It's no use. We're being pulled in!" Jotaro says

"We're going to slip!" Avdol says

"Move further back!" Joseph says. Jotaro practically yanks me up so I can grab on myself which I do. We all looked to see Iggy staring at us

"Helper! Come on! Help, already! Hey!" Polnareff says. Iggy just lays there

"How careless can you be?! You stupid dog!" Polnareff yells to the now sleeping Iggy. We then watched the water cut the front tires

"It's so sharp! Go even further back!" Joseph says. The car then begins to fall

"S-So that's what it's trying to do. Everyone hang on!" Joseph says. The car hits the ground and we all fall off

"Oh, no!" Joseph yelled as we all hit the ground. We all watched the water sink

We can't move

Avdol began taking off his silver bracelets and then threw them. We watched the water surface. Avdol released Magician's Red

"Magician's Red!" Avdol yelled as he attacked. The stand dodged

"What?!" Avdol asked. The stand then hit Avdol

"Wha-" Jotaro cut himself off

"Avdol!" Joseph yelled

"Who is out there? S-So strong" Avdol says as he fell backwards. My eyes went wide

"Avdol!" Polnareff yelled. I was close enough to Avdol to begin healing him. The stand began to get closer so I put a shield around Avdol to protect him but sadly as I had already been healing it quickly faded away

Guess I don't have enough to do both at once

"There it is!" Polnareff says as it got increasingly closer to Avdol's throat. Jotaro suddenly began running away

"You fool! Jotaro, what are you doing?!" Joseph asks

"If you get hurt! I can't heal you from that distance!" I yelled out as he continued. The water began to follow.

"Hey! It dived! The water's started chasing Jotaro" Polnareff says. That's when it clicked

He's saving Avdol-

"So that's what he's trying to do. It won't attack Avdok again, but Jotaro! He's going to catch up to you!" Joseph yells. Jotaro picks up Iggy and continues running. Jotaro then suddenly stopped.

"Don't stop, Jotaro!" Joseph yelled out. Suddenly they were both using Iggy's stand to float

"This is good. Jotaro's going to travel through the air and use Iggy to find the enemy's body. If we can find the stand user's body, our chances of defeating that fearsome stand are good" Joseph says. I finished healing up Avdol and that's when I felt a little lightheaded

I'll heal up Polnareff and Kakyoin and then we're good to go. I can move as Jotaro should be approaching the stand user

I got up and began walking only to fall back down

Really?

"Miss Y/n, are you all right?" Avdol asks

"I'm a little light headed but I'll be fine. I'm just going to heal Polnareff and Kakyoin to the full extent" I say

"No, Polnareff is fine, he's not bleeding and Kakyoin isn't either. He's only retained the actual retina damage. They both can manage. Please do not over work yourself" Avdol says. Polnareff suddenly spoke

"He's gradually losing altitude. Looks like The Fook can't fly very far" Polnareff says

"So now it's just gliding, like a paper airplane?" Joseph asks. We watched the water chase after Jotaro. Now knowing where it's going as he had hit the ground to gain altitude

"He must've figured it out from that step" Polnareff says. Joseph rushes to help me up

"We have no choice but to entrust this fight to Jotaro" Joseph says

~Time Skip~

We were all in the car

"Hey! Jotaro!" Joseph yells out. I turn to see that Jotaro's all right

"Jotaro! Are you all right?" Polnareff asks. Iggy began to bark
