As they drove to a rural area of Kolkata, Yamabuki and Heather were thinking.
"You know, I was so sure that I stabbed her with my sword…" Yamabuki said, "But… I didn't faze her. It was like she wasn't there."
She grabbed the rear-view mirror and smashed it. She said, "The mirrors! We have to destroy the mirrors!"
Heather said, "Like the ill-fabled Mothman… this Stand attacks in the mirror."
Yamabuki realized and said, "Even if I destroy the mirrors, she can still attack from the shards. How the hell am I supposed to fight like that? She attacks my reflection. Her knife snags onto your real body… and my Spirit cannot go into mirrors."
Heather said, "You keep talking about inside the mirror, and Mirror World. Well, Mirror World only relates to a story called Alice in Wonderland. But that's fantasy. This is reality."
Yamabuki argued, "What are you talking about? When you see her in the mirror, you turn around, and she is gone! You saw it, too, didn't you?"
Heather said, "Yes. But anything you see in a mirror is a reflection, created by light."
Yamabuki barked, "I'm NOT an idiot! You don't have to tell me that! Listen, I mean in this case, I'm talking about what's going on now! If Stands and Spirits exist in this world, Mirror World exists, too~!"
"No. There isn't."
"COME ON!"
Heather explained, "I think that way is to solve the Hanged Man mystery. Stands and Spirits are able to defeat and destroy other Stands and Spirits, alike. So, there's still something we don't know about-."
A gleam of light appeared from the steering wheel. Heather turned to the wheel, and saw ROZ in the chrome.
Episode XXVIII – Chapter 2: Yamabuki's Revenge!
Hanged Man Hung!
Heather gasped, seeing ROZ appear from inside the back. She leapt up and lunged at her. Heather cried, "YAMABUKI! The chrome of the steering wheel! The bastard's caught up to us!"
SMASH!
ROZ smashes the windows, and crawled in. Heather made a huge turn, and caused the truck to lose control. The truck is sent flying and headed towards a small ravine. Heather cried, "YAMABUKI, JUMP!"
They jumped out of the truck and landed on the ground. The truck crashed, demolished into a pile of junk. Yamabuki asked, "You okay?"
Heather said, "Yeah. One more second late, and we're end up crashing into our early graves."
A beckon of light emerged from the mirror, and zipped to another reflection. Yamabuki saw it with her own eyes and said, "What the-?"
Yamabuki used Ninja Chariot, destroying the chrome bumper. She called out, "Heather! Avoid the reflection!"
She and Heather ran off, and hid behind a stone pillar. They panted and Yamabuki said, "Damn… I saw her… She just jumped into another reflection. This guy moves, jumping around from mirror to mirror. She traveled all this way, reflecting over and over again. It's the only explanation that we know."
Heather asked, "So, you mean that she's just light? The true nature of this Stand is light?"
Yamabuki said, "I am. I just saw it on the car's bumper. That lecture about mirrors you gave me… I think I get what ROZ was doing. She's jumping off the surface, and into another mirror. Make sure you stay clear from reflective stuff. Take anything shiny off your body."
She removed her earrings, as Heather took off her rings. But then, a boy asked, "Hey, ladies… You girls okay? You need any medicine?"
Yamabuki said, "We're fine, kid! Just get out of here, now! It's dangerous!"
The boy said, "Whoa! That was a hell of a car stunt! That messed up your car!"
Heather gasps, as the beam of light shone passed the boy. The boy asked, "Hey, you sure you're okay? You're bleeding, Miss."
Yamabuki gasps, as well, as she looked at the boy's eyes. ROZ was in the boy's reflection.
"THAT ASSHOLE!" Yamabuki roared.
"SHE REFLECTED IN THE KID'S EYES!" Heather cried.
ROZ cackled, as Yamabuki cried, "LISTEN, KID! DON'T LOOK AT US!"
They leapt away from the boy, as he was confused. Yamabuki yelled, as she was running, "I TOLD YOU, DON'T LOOK AT US! DON'T FOLLOW ME WITH YOUR EYES!"
The boy asked, "But you're hurt!"
She stated, "I'm fine, see? Perfectly normal~! Now go shoo and get away from me!"
"But you're bleeding!"
"YOU BRAT! I SAID LEAVE!"
ROZ appeared again from the prying boy's eyes. She snarled, "DAMN YOU, ROZ!"
ROZ laughed, "What are you going to do, Yamabuki? You wouldn't poke out this kid's eyes out, would you?"
She gripped onto her neck and hissed, "And now, I finally got you! You can't run anymore! I mean, not unless you gouge this kid's eyes out. That is inhumane of you, but it's the only way!"
Heather snarled, "You disgusting son of a bitch! YOU'RE DEAD!"
Yamabuki chuckled, as ROZ asked, "Oh, what's so funny? Any last words?"
"Don't worry about me, Heather…" Yamabuki said, "In times like this, you have to think of something to avoid certain death. Before you say something, feel free to say this, when you are for revenge…"
She boasted, "My name is Yamabuki Suou, as in the mountain breeze! For the honor of my dear friend's soul, and for my ally's soul, Reginald Hadigan the 3rd, to rest peacefully from above, I'm going to hurl you into the depths of despair! PREPARE YOURSELF, ROZ!"
She smiled, "Sorry about this, kid. But desperate times call for desperate measures. You'll understand, when you get older. And I'll treat you to something, when this is over, okay?"
She kicked sand at his face, as the boy screamed, "AAAAAAAAGH! SAND IN MY EYES!"
SLASH!
The beam of light shot out, and Ninja Chariot struck back. But it missed the light. Yamabuki smiled, and ROZ is NOW in her eyes.
"I don't know much, but all I know is that she moves at the speed of light," she added, "No one can normally see speed like that. But then, when I saw the kid, when he closes his eyes, she'd move over to my eyes. There's no other place to go, and that's when we'll beat her!"
Hanged Man can only exist in a world of reflection. When one world is about to be destroyed, she must migrate to another reflective object.
"So, as long as I can read her trajectory, I can slice her, like butter!" Yamabuki concluded.
ROZ was sliced from her chest, as she screamed, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Yamabuki heard the screams, and called out, "Her real body's over there!"
They rushed to the ruins, as Yamabuki growled, "You bastard… FINALLY!"
They stopped and found a lone male body, lying on the ground, badly hurt. Yamabuki snarled, "At last we meet… ROZALYN!"
Heather asked, "Wait… Rozalyn's a woman's name!"
Yamabuki said, "If I know ROZ… She's a Stand! And whoever her Stand User is, they can feel her wounds!"
She called to the man, "My name is Yamabuki Suou! And I've seen through your clever trick! It's a Stand of Light that moves in extraordinary speed! I know there's no way of catching it, but if I can predict where your Stand will move next, and I slashed into you, at that moment. If Heather and Rook hadn't butt in, I wouldn't have figured it out, myself, and you would've killed me!"
Heather gasped, seeing his chest, "No Power Core… NO, YAMABUKI! This man is a normal layman, not a Jewel Person! This man isn't ROZALYN!"
ZIP! STAB!
Yamabuki was stabbed in the back by a lone dagger. She gagged, as she was in pain, "Ungh… What the hell?"
Heather cried, "YAMABUKI!"
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, Mundy and Mugi continued to fight, with Memine trapping Mundy in a corner. Memine struck, as Mugi called, "Time to end this! You bastard! Mosarate is useless against me! And when you fall, you're about to lose A-Fist, as well!"
Steven prepared, as Mundy said, "Steven! Step back! This is between me and the huge tower of fluff that is Memine!"
Memine roared, "TEA 4 U!" and swung her arms down. Mundy blocked the huge arm attack, and held his own. But struggled to push back. He growled, "I'm not going to lose to you, you fluffy little carnival prize! You're jumbo, but you don't play fair!"
Memine threw him off, and then Mugi said, "I PLAY FAIR! Now, I shall make you my splattering masterpiece!"
She grabbed Mundy in the air and tossed him off the skyscraper. Mundy screamed, as he was falling to his death. But he called out, "You play fair… but you never strategize!"
He grabbed onto a metal railing, near the building, and said, "It's a good thing there is a window cleaner here!"
He was dangling, as Mugi roared, "WHY WON'T YOU DIE, ALREADY?"
Mundy leapt off the railing, letting go, and landed swiftly into the pavement below, feet first. He then held his arms out and called out, "Let's see if the Olympics notice me, for this death-defying stunt!"
Memine leapt off and fell towards Mundy. Memine cried, "I'm going to squash you like a pancake! Even in this velocity, I'll destroy YOU, and even smash this city into rubble, upon impact! GOODBYE, MUNDY!"
Memine landed on the ground, as Mundy took the landing. However, nothing happened. Mundy then leapt up and lifted up the huge Stand with his arms. He roared, "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! SNIIIIIIIIIPERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
Memine cried, "WHAT THE HELL? WHY IS HE THAT STRONG?"
Mundy called, "I'm not. But you forget… You're a Stand that is made of cloth and cotton. By this height and mass, I say that you roughly weigh about the size of 20 huge pillows!"
Memine cried, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Mundy roared, tossing Memine into the streets, "HAPPY LANDING!"
SMASH!
Memine crashes into the streets of Jersey, nearly hurting herself. Memine jumped up and roared, "TEA 4 U! TEA 4 U!"
Mundy cried, "What the hell is this? This bloke is still standing?"
Mugi appeared from behind Memine and said, "You're pathetic… You know that? Why, even if you did destroy Memine, she regenerates herself. Memine, kill him!"
Memine charged at him, but Mundy said, "Is that all?"
POW!
Memine swats Mundy down with a massive left hook. He is sent through the windows of a department store, and moaned, "Damn it…"
He was being pinned down, as Memine roared in laughter. Mugi said, "Pathetic, you are… Even if you are a trained hunter, you know that even snipers like you are low-class and graded as the worse… Sniping is never an easy job. Besides, you're no good at your job. All you do is grow soft, while your friends are working, behind your back!"
Mundy snarled, "Take it back…"
Mugi said, "No. I won't take it back. Besides, it's all but an end to you, since this is where the story ends. Oscar Gooden, may his soul now be one with The Void… Ginti, my darling boyfriend, will see to it that you live, no more…"
Mundy stood up and said, "Well, I said it won't be an easy job… But you'd already bested me, by thrashing yourself about…"
Memine charged towards Mundy, and Mundy held his machete from behind his back. Mugi said, "Oh? And when Memine attacks, you're going to cleave her arm off, again, with the machete? I know it's behind your back!"
Memine charged down, as Mundy said, "Boy, you're smart to know me…"
Memine slammed her fists down onto Mundy, but Mundy pulled his machete out and stabbed into the chest, completely.
"MOSARATE JAB!" He lunged the machete into the chest, piercing in-between her breasts. Mugi roared and screamed, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
She cried, "HOW DID YOU?"
Mundy said, "You forget… I have hindsight, the likes of which you've never seen. I also have foresight, which gives me the ability to use my guns to fire, without using a scope, or steady aim! That also applies to blades!"
He smirked, "I never miss my mark, love."
Mugi groaned, holding her bare chest, as she was in pain, "Damn you… MEMINE, KILL THAT BASTARD!"
Memine roared, slamming her arms onto Mundy, but Mundy avoided the attack, and teleported behind the Stand. Mundy prepared his fist, "A Stealth Strike will do fine!"
Mugi cried, "NO! If you do-!"
"Begging won't help!"
"But honestly, if you use Stealth Strike, Memine will be free of the blade's hold!"
Mundy smirked, "Exactly!"
He gasped, "If I pull it out, you'd regenerate from your body! But you cannot fuse cold steel with pure cotton! There is a total difference, Memine!"
He teleported back to Memine's front and landed a Stealth Strike into Memine's chest, impaling the machete through the chest. Memine cried in pain, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Mundy cried, "STEVEN! NOW!"
Steven revved his fists and roared, "DIVINE MOON!"
He landed a barrage of punches to the chest, as Memine was helpless, "AAAAAAAAAAH, ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA! HAAAAAAAH-ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA! WAAAAAAAAAH-TAAAAAAAAAAA!"
SMASH!
He landed a strong double fist to the head of Memine, crushing it. He called out, "Hokuto Sledgehammer Blow!"
Mundy said, as Memine's head was crushed, "Time to fall, my friend! I'd stuff you, but you beat me to it!"
He held his rifle and said, "Gunfire may not work, outside your skin, but inside it, I doubt it!"
He fired, aiming at the open wound of Memine. It shot into its body, and Memine was screaming in agony. Mugi barked, "You damned…"
Blood spurted from her bare breasts and yelled, "AAAAAAAAAGH!"
Steven said, as he was holding his fists, "Even for a stuffed animal, punching is not the right way to cure anger. I'm always angry…"
Mugi held her chest and said, "You haven't won, at all, you punks… MEMINE!"
Memine removed the machete and regenerated from her body. She boomed, "TEA 4 U!"
Steven snarled, "FUCK! She's invincible!"
Mugi roared, "And now… MEMINE, KILL THEM BOTH! I don't care what you do! SMASH THE DARK-SKINNED GUY'S HEAD OFF, FIRST!"
Memine lunged towards Mundy and said, "DIE, YOU BASTARD! NOW DIE, WITHIN MY POWER! YOU FAILED TO BEAT ME!"
Mundy turned away and said, waiting for Memine to come closer, "Actually, you already lost."
Memine trembled, "Huh? What are you saying?"
Mundy revved his kick and shouted, "JARATE!"
POW!
Memine caught Mundy's leg, but is shattered into shreds of cloth. Memine shrieked, "WHAT? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Mundy said, "That stray bullet into your wound, well, I knew that the bullet would hit your Power Core. But judging by your body, no core, no weakness. And yet you regenerated your entire body, with the bullet inside, without knowing."
Memine regenerated from her arm, but it exploded into cotton lumps. Mundy smiled, "Tsk, tsk. You see, but gun shells are made of metal, while your Stand is made of living cotton, cloth, and wood. And, unfortunately, you use heat to regenerate yourself, fusing and mending you wounds, again and again. That shot to you, it somehow targeted towards your real core – the skull!"
Mugi shrieked, as Memine cried, "YOU! YOU SON OF A BITCH! HOW DID IT GET INTO MY HEAD?"
Mundy explained, "When I fired my rifle, the wound I aimed for was the only open wound that you couldn't regenerate, the one on your chest. And using my foresight and hindsight, and excellent marksmanship, the bullet ricocheted off the machete, heading upwards towards the inside of your wooden skull, lodged stuck tight! You didn't think I would let the bullet shoot through you?"
Memine screamed, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! YOU DAMNED IDIOT! I'LL KILL YOU!"
Memine charged at him, again, as Mundy called, "As Steven Cooke says, you're as good as dead!"
Steven hissed, "It's You're already dead…"
Mundy snuffed, "Same thing."
He leapt off, as Memine slams her remaining arm to the ground. Mundy grabbed her head and swung her upwards. She cried out, "NOOOOOOO! HOW DID SHE-?"
Mundy roared, "NOW!"
Steven roared, landed another barrage of punches, onto Memine's entire body. Memine was being torn apart, punch by punch. Steven called out, revving his final punch, "All you are… IS COTTON STUFFING!"
SLAM!
"WAH-TAAAAAAAAA!" He landed onto her chest, as Mundy prepared to fire again, with his sniper rifle.
Mundy called out, "Hierophant Sniper! This toy is being… RECALLED! SNIPERFIRE NO-SCOPE!"
He shot at the huge Stand, again, firing his 12 rounds of sniper bullets onto the Memine Stand. Memine screamed in pain, and exploded after the twelve shots, into her entire body.
BOOM!
Mugi screamed in pain, as Memine was reduced to cotton piles. She dropped to the ground, and was in agonizing pain. Mundy cheered, holding his sniper rifle high, "AAAAAAAAAH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HAAAAA! SNIIIIIIIIIIIIPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
Mugi was down and out, as she was in constant pain. She pleaded, "Ungh… How did I-, did I-, did I-, did I-…"
She was skipping again, only she was in complete pain.
Back in India, Yamabuki was badly hurt, as Heather pulled the knife out. ROZ called out, "OVER HERE!"
The blonde haired ROZ appeared, as she said, "I'm right over here, you nitwits!", as she was in her clothes, lightly bleeding from her cut. She then boasted, "I'M ROZALYN, you significant fools!"
Yamabuki gasped, "At last!"
Heather asked, "Wait… That's ROZ?"
ROZ barked, "Who did you expect?"
Yamabuki said, "Wait! Her hair is black. But she is a blonde!"
ROZ explained, "You're a fool… My Stand has black hair and her red gem on her breasts. You actually think that she was a human being, murdering your best friend, Yamabuki? Lo and behold, I am the true Stand User. That man was nothing more than a beggar, appearing at the wrong place at the wrong time! I kill beggars like him, like you fine rich folk! But then again, you trust people equally… When I got cut, I did a little trick on you, by using this poor schmuck, and thinking I carve his wound; the same wound you so much gave to me!"
She pointed at them and said, "You finding out who I was… it was a grave mistake! It will cost you your lives!"
Heather shouted, "YOU BASTARD! TAKE THIS! ICE-!"
ROZ called, "OOPS! What was that you're going to say? Take a good look around here! Nothing but bums and beggars, here for my murderous spree… or better yet…"
She called to the lowly beggars, "HEY! YOU GUYS! GATHER ROUND! See these two women? They got a boatload of cash to share!"
The beggars, dressed in brown clothing, started to run towards Heather and Yamabuki, as ROZ cackled, "Why kill those poor bums, when I can have my Stand kill you?"
Heather gasped, "What?"
The men praised to them, as they surrounded them. ROZ watched on and said, "You say you figured out my Stand? FOOLS!"
Her Stand appeared in one of the eyes, and cackled, "YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW MY OWN WEAKNESS?"
SLASH!
Yamabuki gets cut in the stomach, as she cries in pain. ROZ called out, "I HAVE NO WEAKNESS! YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE I'LL JUMP INTO NEXT!"
SLASH!
She nicks at Heather's right arm.
Yamabuki pleaded, "PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU! DON'T STARE AT US! JUST GO AWAY!"
ROZ called, "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, KILL THESE BEGGERS? YOU CANNOT RUN ANYMORE!"
ROZ slashed onto Yamabuki's skin, as she and Heather were trapped in a huge crowd of beggars. ROZ laughed, "You had me going, just to hunt me down, for you friend? HAH! AS IF! You only did this, for nothing! Wasted your entire youth, all for the hunting down of me, and you ended up dying! Meanwhile, I, ROZALYN Rumin, will continue to live a life to its fullest!"
ROZ smiled, as Yamabuki continued to be struck by the Stand, "Come to think of it, your friend was dear sweet… And if I recall, you have friends that are ninjas, like you. Classmates, perchance? Maybe I'll visit them… and make them cry, like I did your friend…"
She made her escape, as Heather said, "Yamabuki, don't go after her."
Yamabuki cried, "NO! If we let her escape, we lost! We're doomed!"
Heather said, "Not exactly. You can do better than that. If you don't mind, I'll take something out of your playbook, and be more refined, rather than giving up hope. This is what you say."
She called out, "My name is Heather Dunn-Nevins! In order to avenge my ally, Reginald Hadigan the 3rd, and so will the soul of the friend of Yamabuki Suou, may rest in peace, eternally…"
She held up a gold coin, "I will have you pay for your life! It's over, ROZ! Die in The Gang's power of friendship!"
She called to the beggars, "The gold coin is yours, to whoever picks it up! BEHOLD! A coin so perfect that it shines like a mirror!"
Yamabuki said, "Yeah… Now, I see."
She flipped the coin and said, "Looks like their eyes are at one point now, huh?"
Yamabuki grinned, "Clever tactic, friend! Let's see if ROZ took the bait!"
"We know the trajectory of where Hanged Man goes!"
"MERCI, HEATHER!"
Yamabuki kicked sand at the vagrant's eyes, and ROZ leapt out, heading to the coin. Yamabuki called out, "NINJA CHARIOT!"
ROZ shrieked, "WHAT?"
The Ninja swung its katana down and cried, "DIE!"
SLASH!
It struck down onto ROZ's body and sliced it into half. The real ROZ shrieked in agonizing pain, bleeding from the wound. The beggars scrambled for the coin, as ROZ made her escape, crying in pain. Heather chased after her, "HOLD IT!"
She ran to the gates and opened them. But they were locked tight.
"THEY WON'T OPEN!" She screamed, "DAMN IT! Maybe I should climb out!"
She prepared to climb, as Yamabuki said, "WRONG! Looks like you'll be the one sobbing, Rozalyn! And you're about to be on a trip to Hell, begging and crying all the way down! ONE-WAY! But there is one thing that the Guardians of Hell cannot make me do… down there… and that is…"
She roared out, "…TO TURN YOUR ENTIRE SLUTTY BODY INTO A PINCUSHION!"
Ninja Chariot slash and stabbed onto ROZ, as she was screaming, suffering the huge wounds. Yamabuki yelled, as she stabbed into ROZ's heart, "I'VE WAITED YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT! BUT KEEP WAITING, BECAUSE THE SHORTER TIME YOU HAVE LEFT, THE LONGER I'LL ENJOY IT!"
ROZ was jabbed in the head by the katana, and then she was flung upward to the sky. She then flew down into the gates, hanging upside down and dead. ROZ was no more.
Yamabuki turned away and said, "I'll leave the rest to the devil… Rot in hell, bitch!"
Yamabuki killed Rozalyn, the woman that killed her friend. Her vendetta was finally sought out.
Heather said, "So, this is the true Hanged Man. She was rotten, all the way to the core."
Yamabuki walked off and said, "I got my revenge."
XXXXX
Moments later, Birch was walking down the town, as she sighed, "Man… What a day…"
She stopped and spotted Heather and Yamabuki. She cried, "HOLD IT!"
They stopped, as she said, "Finally caught up with you…"
She aimed her gun and said, "Why are you walking so slow? Running helps, because it shows you have such fear, that we'll enjoy it! Right, ROZ?"
She fired at some bottles and destroyed them. She smirked, "Come at me, now, you jerks… You really want to best us? Hey! ROZ, whenever you're ready!"
She called out, "Better say your prayers, girls! This is where your lives are ending! Come at us with everything you got!"
She shot off windows and cackled, "RIGHT, MISS ROZ?"
Birch panicked and cried, "HEY, Miss ROZ?! Come on out! Let's have fun!"
Yamabuki stomped on the shard of glass, as she said, "I don't think she's listening, cowgirl. Not anymore… She's quite busy, right now, carrying her sentence in Hell!"
Birch smirked, "Hey, now! Bluffing won't work on me! Don't give me that jive! There's no way you could've beaten her, not after what she did! Even I would try my luck against that bucko! You've got a weird sense of humor, and it stinks!"
Yamabuki said, "Don't believe me? That piece of shit's corpse is 2,000 to 3,000 meters, that way, if you wanna take a look."
Birch glared, but ran off, "OKAY, I WILL! BUT I'LL BE BACK!" And then stopped and called out, "STAY PUT!" and dashed off, again.
Yamabuki cried out in anger, "YOU'RE RUNNING AWAY?!"
Birch thought, as she was running away, "I don't stand a chance. I can't fight her, by myself! I'm high-tailing it outta here, until I find a huge advantage. Or better yet, I may need another partner-in-crime. It's all about being #2! That is the motto I live by!"
She jetted off into the corner, but-.
POW!
Birch was punched by Peter. He, Michelle, and Chazz appeared. Heather gasped, "Peter! Michelle! Chazz!"
Michelle explained, "We were aware of Rook's demise. What a tragedy. We didn't have enough time, but he'll be fine. He's not dead, but I did heal him."
Heather sighed in relief, "Thank goodness…"
Birch whimpered, "Wait… … …but he's dead! ROZ and I killed him! That pervert's still alive?"
Heather pointed out, "The woman in the red gem stabbed him in the back. The cause of Rook's apparent death was Birch Small's bullet."
Peter smirked, "Alright, bitch… You're under arrest."
Birch whimpered, as Yamabuki stopped him, "Nuh-uh, big guy! I'll make out her sentence!"
She produced her Ninja Chariot and cried out, "I sentence you to… … …DEATH!"
She lunged her katana at Birch, as Birch shrieked. Just then, a woman tackled down Yamabuki. Birch gasped, as she opened her eyes, "Huh?"
The woman pleaded, "PLEASE RUN, MISS SMALL! I'LL HOLD HER OFF FOR YOU!"
Yamabuki gasped, "The hell? Hey, get off of me!"
"I don't know what is going on, but I do want to protect you, my love!" The woman pleaded, gripping onto Yamabuki. This woman was the same woman that rode with Birch, by elephant.
"LET ME GO!" Yamabuki yelled, "COME ON! YOU'RE MAKING A SCENE! GUYS! DON'T LET BIRCH GET AWAY!"
Chazz said, "It's too late."
Yamabuki looked, as Birch had already escaped, unharmed. She was already on horseback, riding on a brown horse, and called, "VERY WELL SAID, MY ADMIRING FAN! Keep on living for me, and I'll be watching over you! It's not that I love you or anything, I'm only doing this because I care for you, baby!"
Yamabuki roared, as Birch disappeared into the distance, away from The Gang, "WHY YOU! GET BACK HERE, YOU COWARD!"
She was dragging the woman that is clutching her, and was yelling out Birch's name. The woman dropped to the ground, as Michelle said, "Yamabuki, forget Birch! That woman she was with is another of her victims! And she had no intention on fighting with us, any longer."
She nursed the woman, by wrapping a white bandage around her arm, and added, "Rook is injured. He's going to live, but we'll have to forge ahead, without him. He's done now. It's already been fifteen days. We have no time to waste."
She finished, but little does she know, a small drop of blood landed on her right arm's bare skin. Yamabuki sighed, "Guess it can't be helped…"
She boomed, "Listen up! Since it's now the five of us, we have to go to Egypt, now! In order to fight MIO and Steven Nevins, we fight as one! We can't go off on our own, or we'll play right into the enemy's hands."
Michelle nodded, "That's the spirit. I knew you'd learn your lesson."
Yamabuki said, "Thank Heather… and Rook… They helped me get my revenge. From now on, until we arrive in Egypt, I'm staying by your side, until this is over!"
Peter nodded, "Alright, let's go!"
Yamabuki cheered, as Chazz groaned, "Good grief…"
They walked together, as Michelle stated, holding her arm, "Well, the first thing we can do is visit Rook. He's in a small clinic, and he's slowly recovering. I should call the Speedwagon Foundation to take him back to America, but…"
As they continued, Michelle's right arm produced a small lump on her arm. It suddenly split into two and produced a mouth. It sung out, "La-la-la~."
So it seems their time in India is far from over…
Find out what happens next, in the next chapter!
