The Gang has finally arrived in Egypt! However, they are running out of time. They have only two weeks left, before Mizuki dies. With the aid of a Jewel Woman, a Calico cat named Yoko, The Gang trek on to Egypt, to hunt down MIO and Mr. Nevins. However, they are not alone. Rena Ryugu, a blind woman, is tailing them, as we speak. She is ONE of the Egyptian Gods that Mr. Nevins has hired, but what is she?


Episode XXXIII – Chapter 2: Enter Geb!
The Blind Killer Rena Ryugu!


The Gang was aboard TWO sand buggies, as they were heading to Cairo, their next stop. Michelle was driving with Peter, Chazz, Yamabuki, Heather, & Rook, while Scarlet was riding with Farra, Asahi, Steven, Cassandra, Yoko, & Mundy, who was driving the second buggy. Yoko was chewing on some gum, as Cassandra said, "We are far from Cairo, as we speak, ma'am."

Scarlet said, "Good. The sooner we get there, the better. Our best bet is to find MIO, and kill her soon enough! We'll worry about the Nine Gods, later."

Yamabuki growled, "IT'S NOT FAIR! Yoko gets to ride with the android, and not with us, Miss Nevins?! I take it that she hates me, but do you have to be so strict?"

Michelle said, "Yoko seems to like her, since Cassandra Martinez is a robot."

Peter sighed, "Gimme a break… At least she's not an insane driver like you."

Michelle said, "Mundy and I will drive to the desert, onwards to Cairo. Do not worry. And the rest of you! Chin up and fly right! We don't need this negative manner! Cassandra has the gum, but it's fine for her to be careful towards the cat. Don't forget, like Cassandra, Yoko is new to the field, and she's usually rabid. But with tender love and care, she'll be a suitable ally."

Scarlet snarled, "And precisely why is that damn cat in our buggy?"

Cassandra said, "Well, it was mean at Yamabuki, so I had to hold her tight…"

Farra replied, "Seriously? Man, the cat's a useful pet… but this one's too rabid."

Asahi said, "Not necessarily true, Farra. Cats are royalty, here in Egypt. You might say that she's a good luck charm."

Mundy gasped in horror, as he halted the buggy. They stopped, as Farra cried, "AGH! What happened?"

Mundy stammered, as Michelle's buggy stopped, right beside them. Michelle asked, "What's wrong?"

Scarlet asked, "Osky, why did you stop driv-?"

She gasped in shocked, "OH, SHIIIIIT! EVERYONE, LOOK!"

The others were in complete horror, as they saw a helicopter crash in the sands of the desert. It was the same helicopter that brought Yoko to The Gang. Scarlet stepped out, as she called out, "THERE! DO YOU SEE IT? A HELICOPTER CRASHED HERE!"

Mundy asked, "Why are you freaking out, love?"

Scarlet yelled, "IT'S A SPEEDWAGON COPTER!"

Michelle gasped, "NO! It's the same copter from before! WHAT THE HELL?"

Heather said, "The Speedwagon Foundation helicopter went down! I can't believe what I am seeing!"

They viewed the wreck, from afar, as Peter said, "I don't see any gunfire or explosions, but to be safe, we stay far away from it."

Rook replied, "How did it fall out of the sky?"

Steven watched on, as Yamabuki asked, "This is tragic! Could it be-?"

Michelle said, "Careful, lads! I'd bet my life it was attacked by an enemy Stand or Spirit!"

Peter and Chazz viewed the pilot, crushed from under the copter, with his eyes dilated and his hands clawing on the metal. Chazz called out, "OVER THERE! IT'S THE PILOT!"

Peter whispered, "He's already dead…"

Steven growled, "What the wha? The helicopter crashed? Huh? Look at his mouth! Whatever happened to him, it wasn't pretty."

Chazz smirked, "The poor bastard."

Farra said, "Approach carefully. Whatever did this could still be hiding in there."

Steven examined the corpse, and saw the mouth open, full of an unknown substance. He called, "Cassandra, examine what's inside this guy's mouth."

Cassandra scanned the corpse and said, "Si, Agent Cooke. Examining… Analyzing…"

The substance poured out of his mouth, as Cassandra said, "It's agua…"

Scarlet asked, "Water?"

Steven said, "There's no way that water is just from his mouth. There's also a fish inside… It must've flowed from his lungs."

Cassandra said, as the fish flapped a bit, only to die in the desert sand, "The fish symbolizes that this water came from sea water… namely, if possible, an oasis."

Michelle asked, "What's going on here? This is getting weirder and weirder!"

Yamabuki called out, holding the second man, gasping for air, "HEY! OVER HERE! We found the other guy!"

Mundy said, "The bloke's still alive, but barely. He's dehydrated."

The Gang treated to him, only he is wheezing and moaning. Michelle called, "Hang on! You've got to hang in there! What just happened?"

The man gasped, as he croaked, "Waaaaaaaaa… waaaater…"

Cassandra asked, "Does he… want some water?"

Peter said, "No idea. But he needed some water…"

Michelle called, "Hurry, Yamabuki! Hand me the canteen!"

Yamabuki held up the canteen and tossed it to Michelle. She said to the man, "Here. You drink up, and you'll feel better. Drink it slowly."

The man started to gasp and heave, as he was frightened. He then gagged, "No… water… No water… No… The water…"

He screamed, regaining energy, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE WATER ATTACKED US!"

Michelle cried, as the water burst out of the canteen, "WHAT?"

The water produced a hand, and grabbed the man's head, ripping it off of its body, and sucking it into the canteen. The blood poured in a huge stream, as The Gang stepped back. Michelle cried, "LADS! WATCH YOURSELVES! IT'S A STAND! THE ENEMY STAND IS INSIDE THE CANTEEN!"

They all stepped far from the canteen, as Peter growled, "So, it begins… Old fart…"

Scarlet cried, "Damn it all! They were innocent bystanders! What possess them to have them being killed?"

She said to Rook, "Reggie, do you know what kind of Stand this is?"

Rook replied, "I saw a hand, made of water, I've seen… But I wager it's still in the canteen… I don't believe I saw it leave… but who could the user be? Mr. Nevins says that we are to meet his Nine Egyptian Gods, and the Speedwagon Men said that MIO recruited nine other men and women."

Scarlet said, "So, it's possible that it's one of those assassins…"

Mundy called, "No luck on finding the Stand User! How's your end, mate?"

Chazz said, "No go. I'm already on it. That said…"

He viewed the entire lay of the land, as Chazz replied, "I don't think I see our Stand User, anywhere… Just like our encounter with The Sun."

Peter replied, "In the deserts, back in United Arab Emirates, we learned that the Sun Stand hides behind a mirror… But this is different. The enemy is far away from here, we'll never be able to find him… or her…"

As they were scouting, The Gang laid low, waiting for the next move. Heather said to Yamabuki, "Yamabuki, slice up that canteen…"

Yamabuki cried, "WHAT? WHY ME? Have you forgotten what happened to the pilot?"

Heather said, "I know… But we have to face it, dead-on. I know it's risky, but… If that Water Stand pops out, I'll freeze it with my Ice Empress."

Yamabuki growled, "NO WAY! I'M NOT GOING NEAR THAT THING! YOU DO IT!"

Heather replied, "I just can't, alright! I'm not risking my life for this, even if it is my husband's hired assassin!"

Yamabuki cried, "YOU'RE CRAZY! And you expect me to go there and-!"

They gasped, as a small puddle of water appeared. Yamabuki shivered, as she yelped, "Uhhh… Miss Dunn…"

The water formed a hand with talons, as Heather gasped, "That's…"

SLASH!
Heather is slashed in the eyes, and is taken down, out cold. Peter, Farra, & Michelle cried, "HEATHER!"

Michelle cried, "NO! THE WATER CAME OUT OF THE CANTEEN AND HID IN THE BLOOD!"

Scarlet cried, "NO, YOU IDIOT! THAT WATER ISN'T THE STAND! THIS LIQUID SUBSTANCE IS EVIL!"

Rook corrected, "You're BOTH WRONG! I think the water is the Stand!"

Yamabuki shrieked, "NO! IT GOT HEATHER! WAAAAAAAAAAAGH! IT CLAWED OUT HEATHER'S EYES!"

Heather was blinded, with her eyes closed, and her scratches bleeding. Michelle cried, "NO! YAMABUKI! GET BACK! PANICKING WON'T HELP! SUMMON CHARIOT AND PROTECT HER!"

Yamabuki prepared, as Mundy viewed the water, by her ankles. He cried, "No… If it gets Yamabuki…"

The water went to Yamabuki, but then… a watch started to beep. It was coming from a sports watch that one of the corpses was wearing. The watery Stand slashed off the hand, and smashed the watch into pieces.

Scarlet asked, "No… It doesn't make any sense! Why attack the pilot's corpse? The bastard's already dead!"

Asahi said, "It wasn't the corpse… It was his watch!"

Chazz said, "She's right. It attacked the watch, because of the alarm."

Farra stated, "So, that's it! It stalks sound!"

Yamabuki gasped, "You're kidding…"

She held Heather up, as Michelle cried, "HURRY! GET TO THE CAR, YAMABUKI!"

The Stand went after Yamabuki, as she was retreating to the buggy. The Stand went closer, as Yamabuki sobbed, "IT'S SO FAST!"

Scarlet cried, "HURRY!"

SLASH!
Yamabuki was slashed in the ankles, as she yelled, "YAAAAAAAGH! IT GOT ME!"

Mundy called, as he held his rifle, "HIEROPHANT SNIPER!" and fired at the Stand.

Michelle called out, "HERMIT GHOST!" and grabbed Heather and Yamabuki with her ghostly vines. The Stand buried down into the sand, as Rook said, "So, it buried itself into the ground?"

Cassandra said, "The Stand is able to pick up the vibrations of sound, from the ground. And it moves through the earth, to avoid being seen. Our advantage of defeating it is impossible."

Michelle stated, "Meaning… The Stand would attempt to attack from above or below, if it chooses. To make things worse, the Stand User is kilometers away."

They looked around, as Chazz was sensing it. Far away from the battle, Rena giggled, as she was sitting in the sands, "So the prey has fallen refuge on top of the car. Seems they realize that I'm able to use the power of sound to hunt them down, one-by-one. I managed to get Lord Nevins's spouse, but the others are easy pickings. It won't be long, before they're all eliminated."

She cackled lightly.

The Gang was nursing to Heather, as Yamabuki asked, "Hey… How's Heather doing?"

Asahi and Cassandra examined her, as Asahi sniffled, "Heather, wake up… This is terrible… Maniacs! Who would do such a thing?"

Cassandra replied, "Not good… She may have been blinded. We have to get going. We need to take her to a hospital, soon enough."

Mundy said, "Damn… That water bug just clawed her eyes, she did?"

Cassandra shook her head, "Only slashed at her retinas. She needs medical help."

Michelle replied, "But if we try to move, that Stand may attack us. We can't afford careless mistakes."

As the others were tending to her, Yoko was snoozing. She woke up and sensed something. She jumped out, as the buggy started to tip over. Scarlet shrieked, as they were all flying, "WHAT THE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA?"

Yoko leapt to the sand, as the others were annoyed. Steven cried, "YOKO!"

Peter growled, "Damn cat…"

Michelle called, "What the hell were you doing?"

Rena sensed the sound, "Huh? That sound… It's the cat. Interesting. It leapt out of the car, before I attacked. It anticipated what my Stand can do. That furball could be a challenge."

The buggy was sinking, as Yoko meowed at the wheels. Peter gasped, "Yoko was warning us! SHIT! WHAT NOW?"

Farra yelled, "THE TIRE IS IN THE WATER! THE WHOLE CAR'S ABOUT TO BE PULLED IN!"

Michelle called, "EVERYONE, CLIMB TO THE BACK!"

Yamabuki roared, "HEY, YOU GOOD-FOR-NOTHING PUSSY!" referring to Yoko, "AREN'T YOU GOING TO HELP US?"

Yoko yawned, as Cassandra called, "YOKO! HELP US, WILL YOU?"

Rena growled, "I see… That accursed cat's too perceptive for its own good. It knew I'm four kilometers from The Gang."

She growled, "Damn… that stupid cat… What to do?"

Yoko yawned, as she stretched and relaxed. Rena sighed, "I should do away with that cat, but that feline is too lazy to help The Gang… It's of no concern to me… as it ignores the others. The tabby's harmless, if all it does is nap."

She chuckled, as she shouted, "NOW FOR THE KILL!"

SLASH!
It cut off a tire, as Scarlet roared, "SON OF A BITCH! THE STAND CUT OFF THE FRONT TIRE!"

Michelle called out, "IF IT'S WHAT I THINK IT'S DOING, THEN WE HAVE TO HANG ON! JUMP!"

They all hopped out of the buggy, and avoided danger. The buggy was being pulled in, sinking to the ground. They landed to safety, as the buggy was nose first into the sand. Rook witnessed it and said, viewing the water, "Interesting."

The watery Stand sunk into the sand, as Rook whispered, "Everyone… … …Stay quiet and stay still…"

Scarlet added, "Do as he says. If we not budge, he won't attack us."

They waited, as Rena's Stand remained buried into the desert sand. The water started to bubble, as Rook whispered, "He's here."

Mundy aimed her gun, as Rena gasped, "Hold on! He only moved five steps forward!"

Mundy fired his rifle and shouted, "BULLSEYE!"

He fired, but missed, as Rena's Stand dodged out of the way. It lunged at Mundy, and slashed onto his chest. They all gasped, as Scarlet shrieked, "OSCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

Yoko woke up, as Mundy dropped to the sand, badly hurt. Rook moaned, "How can he be so… so quick?"

Rook gets slit in the neck, lightly, as Yamabuki cried, "ROOKIE!"

He called, "I'm alright…"

Rena, meanwhile, moaned, as her left arm was grazed, "I have to admit… that was a stroke of brilliance… fooling me, thinking they'd actually move. But judging by their screams, I got two more. I'll have to pay attention to their vibrations, from now on. It wasn't footsteps. Judging by the sounds, they used a sort of metallic object, to throw me off… And by my gunshot wound, it was powerful. I only got grazed by it. In my retrospective, it was Sniper Mundy that did the deed. 3 down, 9 to go…"

Rena was about to strike, but Peter dashed off, as he called, "Cassandra!"

Cassandra nodded, "Si!"

They dashed off, as Michelle cried, "PETER! MARTINEZ! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

Rena sensed them both, as she thought, "Huh? Both of them? Hmm… One's 195 centimeters tall (6'5"), while the other is female, and about 186 (6'1"). It's no doubt – it's Giese and that android, Cassandra. But where are they going?"

Yamabuki cried, as Rena's Stand dove in, "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! THEY'RE GOING AFTER BIG GUY AND CASSANDRA!"

Farra called, "PETER, YOU IDIOT! COME BACK!"

Scarlet said, "No! Let them! Giese and Cassandroid are luring it away from Mundy. I'm grateful for that, but…"

Michelle yelled, "BIG LAD! MARTINEZ! IT'S COMING AFTER YOU!"

Rena thought, "From what I recall, Peter Giese's power is Darkness Devil, potent of the Darkness Shadow, the most powerful Precious Stone of Control. And Cassandra Martinez, Android Fool, also a Stone User. Lord Nevins and Master MIO will be beside themselves with joy, once I take care of these two. They are the ones that took out the Temperance Brothers, a while back."

Miz-K NOTE: Peter & Heather defeated Lewis Andrews in Singapore, while Farra, Asahi, & Cassandra (with help from Enzo & Big Cass) defeated Parker Andrews in New York.

She continued, "In the name of Lord Nevins, I'll use every fiber of my power to vanquish both the Giant of Darkness and the Android, avenging Parker and Lewis's defeat."

Peter nodded, as Cassandra grabbed Yoko, with her left hand. Yoko screeched, as she carried her, "El gato! You want to be useful, right?"

Rena gasped, "That sound, just now… The android just picked up something, just now… Let's see…"

She pondered, "Lemme see… Last I checked, it was-."

She cried, "WAIT! I REMEMBER! It was the cat! Cassandra grabbed the cat, which means they know!"

Cassandra said, as she was running, "Yoko! When you jumped out of the car, you already know! You can smell it from there, the Stand User!"

Yoko meowed, as Peter barked, "Listen to me! You're going to help us, like it or not!"

He grabbed the cat and slammed her to the sand. Michelle yelled, "NO! GIESE! DON'T STOP RUNNING!"

Peter called out, "Now, I want you to sense the area of where it's located! Show us or we die! And how would you get your gum then?"

Yoko gasped, as Cassandra snarled, "Giese, you're mean to that feline!"

Peter said, "I'm not. She knows where the Stand User is… So?"

Cassandra said, "Listen to him, Yoko! If you do, I'll give you more gum!"

Yoko sniffed the sand, as she pointed at the direction of where Yoko is. Peter said, "Alright. We NOT run… but fly. Can your Stand do that?"

Cassandra said, "Uh, it's a Spirit Caller."

Yoko transformed her entire body into a mound of sand. She disintegrated into a huge pile, as the real Yoko, with her sandy lion, flew off. Peter gasped, "YOKO!"

Cassandra gasped, "It can fly, too?"

Yoko flew away, as Peter called, "Well, it's a brilliant idea she has. NOT SO FAST!"

He and Cassandra hopped onto the flying Spirit Caller, and flew away. Peter then said, "Alright, furball. You think you can get away, you know what you're doing. And if it's what I think it is, and that's running away, I'm gonna find you and snap your neck off. Then, you're going to Kitty Hell, for your sins of being a Jewel Woman… I may be nice to animals, but I don't treat nicely to cowards!"

Cassandra called, "Yoko, please, you better not run from the battle! We're all in danger!"

Yoko moaned, and continued gliding. Rena sensed nothing and growled, "WHAT? It's like they jumped and disappeared! This is impossible! I cannot sense those two!"

Asahi was shocked, "No way…"

Michelle said, "That's brilliant. We can't move around, so to bypass the time, Peter & Cassandra are using Yoko to find the Stand User. If we find it, we might have a chance at defeating the user!"

Rena growled, sensing, "They're gone… Those three… I'm going to get them for this. Where are they?"

The glider went lower, as Peter lifted his legs up, being that he is tall. Yamabuki gasped, "Not good. Yoko's flying down. And the big one's too heavy!"

Farra boomed, "Fatass eats his weight in chicken pizzas, I bet! It won't end well! The fucking thing's flying like a paper airplane!"

Scarlet added, "Of course Yoko cannot fly through long distances."

Cassandra said, "Peter, I have an idea… On three, we kick… We're going to touch down…"

They went closer to a huge hill of sand, as Cassandra said, "Yoko, steady yourself! On three…"

She called, "Uno… dos… TRES!"

They kicked the ground, as Rena sensed them. In a huge boost upward, they flew up to the sky, avoiding the huge dune of sand. Yoko cried in a meow, as Peter said, "It'll give us more altitude. And hopefully, the Stand won't get us, airborne."

He added, "But Cassie, I am saying that you're a stupid robotic idiot. Not only your plan was genius, the Stand User now knows where we are, and what we're doing."

Cassandra stated, "Let him! We're far away from the Stand, and the others know they cannot move. If he knows, we'll let him. I'll find the user, by scanning for body temperature."

Rena sensed the sound, and said, "Now I see why I cannot detect them. The cat's Spirit Caller has the ability to fly. But now I know what they're up to… They're headed for me! I HAVE TO STOP THEM, BEFORE THEY GET THERE!"

The Stand jumped out and chased after Peter & Cassandra. Asahi cried, "HE'S FIGURED IT OUT! THE STAND'S GOING AFTER PETER & CASSIE!"

Scarlet went to an injured Mundy, as Rook said, "They'll be fine… But…"

Scarlet held Mundy and growled, "That bastard… My Osky's badly hurt… We have no choice… WE FIND THAT BASTARD… AND KILL HIM!"

Steven said, "NO! We wait… We'll trust them, for now. They know what they're doing."

The Stand chased after them, as Peter thought, "Just as I thought. This Stand is able to take down a helicopter, but it doesn't have the power to take us down, since Yoko's Spirit Caller doesn't make any noise. I just have to get to the Stand User, before it's lights out."

Cassandra analyzed the desert, as she responded, "Scanning… Viewing destination – range: 400 meters… One life detected…"

She called out, "Agent Giese, I found her!"

Peter asked, "Her?"

"The Stand User! Reddish brown hair, blue school uniform, cane in hand, cleaver in other, female… sitting in sand… Corrupt aura… She's the Stand User!"

"Good work! We're far from her, so landing will be tricky."

He looked at Rena's blank eyes, and added, "From the looks of things, she's blind."

Sand started to pour lightly, as Cassandra said, "Uh, bad news… I'm afraid Yoko's flight is deteriorating…"

Peter growled, "Not good. Damn it! The Stand knows where we are, with the sand falling from Yoko's glider! She's using the sand, like a submarine uses sonar!"

Rena chuckled, as she sensed them, "How genius… a Spirit Caller made of mineral… You're wide open, you interlopers! I can hear you now. Because of the sand, your fate is sealed."

She called out, "AND NOW IT'S FINALLY YOUR FATE… PETER GIESE! CASSANDRA MARTINEZ!"

She cackled, "TIME TO DIE!"

Her Stand popped out and attacked Peter. He used his Spirit Caller, "DARKNESS DEVIL!"

He punched at the Stand, but pierced into Yoko's wings and nicking his shoulder. Rena laughed, "AHHHHHHH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! FOOL! DARKNESS DEVIL IS FAST, BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH! If you can't tell where it's attacking from, then MY STAND HAS THE ADVANTAGE! AHHH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! HERE COMES ANOTHER!"

They touched down, as Yoko meowed, "Meow! Meooooooow!"

They were dragging their knees to the sand, creating a huge skid. Cassandra cried, "Shit!"

Peter roared, "Fucking pussy!"

Rena cackled demonically, "WHAT A CAT! SHE TRULY IS A PART OF MIO'S COLLECTIVE RACE! SHE'S LED RIGHT INTO MY TRAP! SHE'LL DO ANYTHING TO OBEY US! …EVEN DEFY HER MASTERS!"

Her Stand produced a huge claw, about to strike, as the others were heading closer. Peter snarled, "BASTARD! Just you wait!"

Rena smiled, "You've forgotten? Yoko the cat is a Jewel Woman, and a traitor to The Gang! She bears a Fuji Power Core, and obeys Master MIO! You're fools of thinking she's on your side! That's what you get for relying on a fickle creature. Your end has come… and now it's finally time to put you out of your misery!"

Her Stand struck, but Cassandra transformed into her Android Fool attire, as she brimmed a fiery aura. She grabbed Yoko and called, "Sorry, Yoko! But I don't believe you're with this bitch!"

She tossed her to Peter's Darkness Devil, and called, "NOW!"

The Devil, his Spirit Caller prepared a windup, and threw the cat towards Rena, in huge speed, "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… RAAAAAAAAA!"

Yoko screamed, as she was flying towards Rena. Rena gasped, "What was that? I can't pick this speed up! The giant devil has thrown something at me!"

Peter called, "That's Cassandra's idea. I figured you & Yoko need some bonding time. You better use your Stand to stop her, or else you two will be closer than you think."

Rena snarled, "HE THREW THE CAT?! BASTARDS! Such velocity! DAMN IT, IT'S GOING TO HIT ME!"

Yoko snarled, as Rena cried, "DROP ON MY LAP, YOKO! DO IT, FOR LORD MIO'S NAME!"

Yoko hissed, and used her Spirit Caller.

SLASH!
Rena was slashed in the face, dropping her weapon and cane. Yoko dropped to the floor and purred, stretching herself. Rena held her face and was bleeding, "Damn it… That damned little-! That cat slashed at my face! He actually threw the cat! But that fucking little feline of a Jewel Woman! Yoko, I hate you so much… YOU! YOOOOOOOOOU!"

Her Stand reemerged, as she hollered, holding up her cleaver she picked up, "FILTHY TRAITOR!"

Yoko meowed loudly, but Rena stopped, gasping in horror, "NO! I was so focused on the cat, I forget the location of those two! I completely forgot about them! I'll deal with this fucking traitor, later!"

She picked up her cane and sensed them, "Where? WHERE ARE THEY?"

She waited, as she thought, "They are far away, standing still in the sands. That's their plan, all along… Where the hell are you? You can't hide forever! SHOW YOURSELVES… GIESE! MARTINEZ!"

Peter was behind Rena, as she gasped. He said, "I'm right here."

Cassandra was in front of Rena, as she called, "Surrounded, you horrible Stand User."

Rena's Stand surrounded herself, as she said, "I see… I'm surrounded by you two, when you just slinked in and gave me the jump. If I hadn't protected myself from my foresight, I wouldn't be standing. I suppose I should count myself lucky… seeing you two trying to strike. If I strike the big one, the android will attack me. But should I damage you, the android, the big one will maim me. And given that we're closer together in this proximity, I no longer need this cane to hear you. However, I will require its use…"

She dropped the cane, and armed herself with the cleaver, "…when I get home…"

The cane dropped to the sand, and she lunged at Cassandra, with her cleaver. Rena's Stand, however, lunged towards Peter. It was another of Rena's traps. She planned to kill both of them, at the same time. But…

MEEEEEEOWWWWWW!
Yoko shrieked, as she dived towards the cane. Rena gasped, as Cassandra knocked the cleaver off with a lethal left kick.

POW!
And Peter lands a huge right hook to her chest, puncturing her vital points. Rena's Stand nicked his neck, as he easily avoided certain death. Rena's mouth started to bleed, as she fell to the sand. Her Stand dropped down with her. Peter roared in a huge cry, "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Cassandra nodded, turning to Yoko, "See? I told you she would never be on MIO's side."

Peter said to her, "Cuff her. But first, let's ask her who she is, before we run her in."

Rena coughed up blood, as she was lying in the sands. He said to her, "It's hard to believe, but you actually slashed at my hair. I'm a big target, but at Expert Level, even for a kenshi, like you. But I was holding back. You're not going to die…"

He handcuffed her, and added, "You're under arrest… for murder, siding with MIO, and destruction of property. Prison Island awaits you, bitch."

Rena chuckled, as she smiled, "Arrest me? How about… I… resist… arrest…"

STAB!
Her Stand reemerged, and stabbed herself in the head, piercing into her brain. Peter & Cassandra gasped, as Cassandra cried, "She… She killed herself!"

Peter yelled, "Why the hell would you use your Stand to-? EXPLAIN!"

Rena moaned, as she was dying, "You… You thought you can arrest me, coaxing out the information of the eight remaining Stand Users…"

Cassandra gasped, "What? So… You're… You're a Stand User… but…"

Peter growled, "They ALL are."

Rena moaned, "I'm very well aware… that Michelle Nevins's Ty Ko Ky… combined with Hermit Ghost… can view into the minds of others… You never get anything from me… and I'll never tell you anything about my master…"

Peter said, "MIO… I don't understand why you're loyal to her… You mean that you would rather die for her, than tell us anything?"

Cassandra replied, "Knowing MIO and Señor Nevins, those who obey her, and are defeated, chose death, instead of incarceration."

Rena moaned, "Fear of death… knows no place… in my heart…"

She croaked, "Because of the power of my Stand, given to me, by my master, I've already lived through incomprehensible fears, like death… But I don't fear death… All I want… is revenge… of what Keiichi… did to me… What he did… in our last fight… he blinded me, severely, hence why Lord Nevins… gave me his powers… to do what I can to avenge my loss… But now… it's over…
Steven Nevins was the first person to understand deep within my soul… He was the one who gave me a desire to live… And you should tell the cat about that. She knows how I feel…
He knows what I can do… to avenge my previous disaster… So strong, so wise, so beautiful… He gave me a purpose of living in existence…"

Steven Nevins, in the shadows, held Rena's head, as she was kneeling to him. She narrated, "I've waited so long to meet such an incredible force of nature… and a man who can soothe hearts with his righteousness."

Rena continued, still bleeding out, "I would gladly die… for his sake… But no matter what, I refuse to do anything to disappoint him… ever… Even if it means… coax out information about his master's secrets… And after all, evil or not, a scoundrel needs to put his faith in me…"

She coughed blood, as she gave her final words, "Remember my name… Rena Ryugu… my Stand represents Egypt, the birthplace of the Tarot… I wield the power of the Egyptian God, Geb of the Great Ennead… He's the God of Earth…"

[Rena Ryugu – Stand: Geb]
Geb is Card #3 in the Egyptian Gods

Peter gasped, "So, she's one of the Nine Egyptian Gods? What does that mean?"

Rena faded her last breath, as whispered, "Info… to my partners… goes right… to my grave…"

She closed her eyes, as her Stand faded away, "Keiichi… It looks like… I cannot… face you, again… You were… … …the better… … …man… than me…"

Her hand dropped and Rena suddenly stopped moving. Rena has died.

Peter and Cassandra buried Rena in the sand, and placed her cleaver and cane in the mound of sand, of where she was buried in. Peter jabbed the cane into the sand, and nodded, "I read her mind, about this Keiichi guy, before she died… The only reason Mr. Nevins wants her to live… is a second chance at redemption."

Cassandra said, as they walked off, "MIO brainwashes people, like a cult leader. Steven Nevins is brainwashed, too. Heather doesn't know, since her husband has indeed joined the dark side. But we have all the information about the Nine Egyptian Godsand what they are. But the rest remains a mystery."

Peter said, "When I meet this MIO, I'm going to meet this cunt, for what she did to my wife."

They stopped, as Yoko meowed at them. She hissed, and Peter said, "Hey, you don't have to be rabid. I'm not angry or anything. But pissed off is what I am."

Cassandra said, "We want to know if you trust us. We can't, since you're a Jewel Woman… Yet you have proven yourself that you're not with MIO. No one can blame you for being upset."

She held up a piece of gum and said, "Here. Yoko, I got your gum, as promised."

Peter said, "Just take it. We're trying to apologize."

Yoko scampered off, as she retrieved Cassandra's glasses. During the fight, she lost her glasses, but Yoko was able to find them, after Rena was defeated. Peter growled, "Gimme a break… She can stay out in the desert, for all I care… But… The desert's her sandbox."

Cassandra held her glasses and said, "That cat's a lifesaver… Gracias, Yoko…"

Yoko leapt into her arms, and nuzzled into her bosom. Cassandra blushed, as she smiled, "You know… She does need a home… Perhaps, when this adventure is over, I can keep her… She's so adorable."

Peter walked off, "Do whatever you want. I couldn't give a fuck about that pussy… Besides, I already got a cat, back home. But maybe she's not so bad, after all."

He felt his right shoe, and heard a sticky sound. He looked down and saw gum on his shoe. Yoko grinned evilly, as Peter snarled, "You… You fucking sneak! You put gum in my boot? Good-for-nothing, piece of-!"

Cassandra scolded, "Giese! BE NICE!"

Peter calmed down, and said, "Fine… She's no ordinary little cat."

Cassandra complained, "Sir, you don't understand! It was your own fault! Yoko must've dropped some pre-chewed gum, and you stepped on it! Yoko wouldn't do such a thing!"

He roared, "DO NOT DEFEND THAT PUSSY!"

Michelle called, from far away, "OI! GIESE! MARTINEZ!"

Farra called, "BIG GUY! CASSIE! YOKO!"

The others have returned, driving in their two buggies that they repaired. Yamabuki called, "GIESE! CASSANDRA! You guys alright?"

They were closer, as Cassandra smiled, while Yoko meowed loudly to the others. Peter growled, as he turned away. He then said, as he breathed in anger and exaggeration…
"This is going to be a long two weeks…"


He makes a point… The Gang has two weeks left, before Mizuki Takase dies. With Rena Ryugu dead, it's down to eight Egyptian Gods. Who's next to face off with The Gang?
