A Man Possessed By an Evil Spirit - Jotaro's Grandfather Arrives!
A few days had passed and every day after school Hanabi would go back to the police station to visit her friend. As Hanabi made her way down to Jotaro's cell, a few of the inmates cringed and jumped back in their cells as the young girl passed by. They were all pretty terrified of the young girl now ever since one of the inmates next to Jotaro's cell tried to grab her and Jotaro's spirit broke the inmate's hand.
As the girl came upon her friend's cell she could see the officers from before cowering as they looked into his cell. It seemed like Jotaro's spirit had been busy because it had accumulated more things within his cell.
"Hello."
"GAAH!"
The two officers jumped up scared, easily startled by Hanabi's greeting. The two seemed really on edge with Jotaro and his evil spirit around.
Hanabi went over and stood next to Jotaro's cell. A chair was pulled out for her to sit on, courtesy of Jotaro's spirit.
"Thank you," Hanabi thanked sitting down, "Here's the work that you missed today Jotaro." Hanabi reached into her bag pulling out some papers.
"Hmph, you come and visit me and all you bring is work. What kind of friend are ya," Jotaro stated
Hanabi ignores the comment, "You're really smart JoJo, you really think I'm gonna let some spirit ruin your education. Besides I also brought you this." Hanabi reached into her bag and pulled out a bento box from Jotaro's favorite restaurant, "Prison foods not all that nutritious and you can't survive on the junk food that the spirit brings you."
Hanabi hands the bento over to Jotaro with a smile. The large teen takes the food from his female friend and immediately starts eating.
"I'm glad Jotaro's doing fine. I really hope what Mrs. Holly told me earlier was true," Hanabi thought.
Earlier That Day
Hanabi had finally made her way home from school and was going to collect a few things before visiting Jotaro, but before she went to visit her friend she stopped by her garden. Hanabi's house was a large mansion style similar to Jotaro's home. In the very back of the home was a large garden planted by Hanabi herself. The young girl didn't excel at many things but gardening was something she would proudly say she was a master at. Saying she had a green thumb was an understatement.
Hanabi went around the garden watering plants. "Hmmm...looks like the Morning Glories are coming in nicely. The Tulips look great as well."
There were flowers, trees, bushes, fruits, and vegetables all in the garden. As Hanabi went through her garden she stopped when she spotted a small rose bush. She walked over to the bush and saw the petals of the flowers were wilting droopy slightly. She checked the leaves of the roses to see black spots on them.
"How could this have happened!" Hanabi exclaimed, "I can't believe my roses caught this fungus. I need to take care of this quickly before it spreads." Hanabi quickly ran to her garden shed and pulled out a large pot. She dug out the rose bush and replanted it in new fresh soil.
"I'm gonna have to keep a close eye on this and treat it." Hanabi took the sick plant inside. She set the plant on her kitchen table and gave the petals a soft stroke looking at the plant sadly. As she stroked the petals a small pink light sparkled under her fingertips making her gasp and pull her hand away. Hanabi stared at her hand then back at the plant.
"Maybe it was a trick of the light," Hanabi thought
Hanabi's pondering was broken when she heard the phone ring. Dismissing the event as her imagination she left the plant to go answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"My little rosebud how are you doing?" A strong female voice asked over the phone.
"Oh hello mother, I'm doing fine. I was just about to leave to go visit Jotaro," Hanabi said
"Are you going over to his house for dinner. Seiko darling does make an excellent dinner and I rather you eat at the Kujo house than alone," Hanabi's Mother said.
"Well….I'm not going to Jotaro's house," Hanabi said
"Hmmm? Then where are you going?" Hanabi's Mother asked
"To the police station," Hanabi responded
"Police Station! I knew that Jotaro boy was nothing but trouble!" A male voice yelled over the phone.
"Give me that phone you idiot!" Hanabi's Mother yelled. A loud thud was heard along with a male grunt.
"W-Was that father?" Hanabi asked, sweat dropping knowing her mother had karate chopped her father on top of the head to get the phone back.
"Who else would be idiotic enough to take the phone out of my hands while I was talking. Anyway, what happened to Jotaro?" Hanabi's Mother asked
Hanabi explained the situation over the phone.
"I see then. Despite what your father thinks." Male grumblings could be heard in the background. "I think Jotaro is a fine young man. Anyone who would defend my little rosebud is a worthy person. Now that I know that you're doing fine I must be going," Hanabi's Mother said
"I understand mother you are a busy woman," Hanabi said
"That you are right my dear. I am an important beautiful woman-"
"That you are my darling nothing can outshine you!" Hanabi's Father had yelled
"Be quiet!" Hanabi's Mother yelled
There was a loud crash over the phone and Hanabi imagined this time her mother had kicked her father.
"As a strong beautiful woman no matter how busy, I will always take time to check up on my darling daughter who is just as beautiful and strong as me, no thanks to her idiotic father," Hanabi's Mother said
"T-Thank you mother," Hanabi said sweatdropping.
"If you need anything remember I'm just a call away. Your father and I should be home by the end of the month. Although I'm tempted to ship him home in a crate," Hanabi's Mother said, "If you'd like we can always fly you out to us."
"That's okay mother. If you did that then I'd miss school and who would be there to keep Jotaro in line," Hanabi jested with a smile.
"Yes, yes. Every strong man needs an even stronger woman behind him. Stay strong and gorgeous my little one, I love you," Hanabi's Mother said
"Love you too, mother," Hanabi replied
"Papa loves you too!" Hanabi's Father shouted
Hanabi let out a small giggle as she hung up the phone. Before she could turn back around her phone rang again. She immediately picked up the phone and was happy to hear it was an overjoyed Holly.
"Mhhh? You know someone who can help Jotaro?" Hanabi asked on the phone.
"That's right. Jotaro's grandfather will know exactly what to do. He's actually arriving later today," Holly announced
"That's great Mrs. Holly. I'm so happy that Jotaro's gonna be fine," Hanabi said
Hanabi hung up the phone and left the house. She failed to notice her sick rose plant starting to faintly glow.
Hanabi looked at Jotaro who was still eating, "I'm sure Mrs. Holly has everything under control."
"This is getting spookier. He's got more stuff in his cell now. If word of this gets out to my superior I'll lose my job in a heartbeat for sure," An officer said
"He's no longer your problem. I'll be taking my grandson home now."
Hanabi and Jotaro looked up to see an old man wearing a trench coat.
"Grandson?" Jotaro questioned
One of the officers stepped in front of Joseph, "Hold it! You're better off just staying where you are, it's dangerous-"
"I'll take my chances just step aside and leave him to me. Move it!" Joseph demanded
He lifted the two officers up by the back of their jackets and flung them off to the side.
"Well, I know which side of the family Jotaro gets his temper from," Hanabi thought.
"Jotaro this is your grandfather. Whatever's happened he'll be able to help you," Holly said
Joseph turned his head when he heard a cough. He looked over to see a slightly nervous Hanabi.
"Hello, Mr. Joestar. It's nice to me you. Thank you for coming to help Jotaro," Hanabi said before bowing.
"Ah, Holly told me about you. Your Jotaro's girlfriend," Joseph said
"N-No-No! It's not like that!" Hanabi stuttered red-faced.
"Hmmm, Holly told me you could see this evil spirit too. Is that correct?" Joseph questioned
The red in Hanabi's face died down but a blush was still present on her face, "Yes sir."
"Hmm, could it be possible?" Joseph thought.
Joseph's thoughts were cut off by the sound of footsteps, he looked up to see Jotaro walking to the front of his jail cell.
The two males met face to face, glares present on both of their faces.
Joseph opened Jotaro's jail cell door, "Come out. It's time to go home."
"Get lost. I didn't ask you come here, you really think you can help me, an old man like yourself. Sorry you came all the way from New York, but nobody can help me, gramps," Jotaro said pulling out a finger.
"Ahhh! Jotaro is that a finger!? Where did you get that?!" Hanabi screeched freaking out and pointing at the finger.
"Shut up and stop freaking out. It's not real, it's a prosthetic," Jotaro explained
Jotaro had somehow managed to pull off one of his grandfather's prosthetic fingers. The old man looked down in surprise to see his pinky finger missing on his left hand.
"So did you see it or even feel," Jotaro waved the prosthetic finger around, "That's the evil spirit," He tossed the pinky back to his grandfather, "Stay away from me or you'll lose what's rest of your life." Jotaro finished turning around as his jail cell door closed on its own.
Joseph just looked at his grandson for a few seconds before he snapped his fingers.
"All right Avdol it's your turn now," Joseph said
Hanabi looked over to see a man step out of the shadows. He had dark skin and was tall just like Joseph and Jotaro. He wore a foreign priest outfit and had a gold necklace around his neck.
"I'd like you to meet an Egyptian friend I met a few years ago. Say hello to Avdol," Joseph turned and faced Avdol, "Do what you need to get my grandson out of this damn cell."
"Back off! You look strong enough, but do you really think I'd let someone chase me out of here, because you told them to do it. I don't work like that, in fact, all you've made me want to do is stay here more," Jotaro said
"I'm afraid this may get a little rough, but in a few minutes he'll be riddled with so much pain that'll he'll be begging you to let him out of here," Adul said
"What are ya gonna do?!" Hanabi gasped.
"Do what you've gotta do," Joseph said
"Papa! You can't be serious!" Holly said
"Wait a sec we-?!"
"Zip it pig," Joseph yelled shutting the officer up.
Avdol started moving his hands in a strange fashion that was somewhat hypnotizing.
Hanabi saw a red aura appear around Avdol, "No way!"
Avdol thrusted his hands forward and a Phoenix man appeared out a burst of flames.
"Uh! This is-" Jotaro said
Joseph smirked at his grandson's surprised face, "That's right. Avdol also has what you call an evil spirit. An evil spirit that's under the complete command of Avdol's will. Its name is Magician's Red!"
Magician's Red flew into Jotaro's cell unleashing a slew of fire from its mouth.
Hanabi fell back startled by the sudden fire and held her arms up blocking her face from the heat, "The heat is so intense!"
The fire from Magician's Red shot out and caught Jotaro pinning him to the jail cell wall. The heat began to quickly rise making everyone sweat.
"What's that thing doing to Jotaro?" Hanabi thought.
Magician's Red grabbed Jotaro by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up. Before it could do anything else the spirit from Jotaro completely manifested and pushed away Magician's Red making it drop Jotaro.
"It's getting so hot!" Hanabi thought. A pink glow appeared below Hanabi who was still on the ground.
"Ahah! There it is! It finally showed itself, and the fact that it's so clearly visible means that it's incredibly powerful," Joseph said
"Let's do this," Jotaro said
Jotaro thrusted his arm out and his spirit grabbed Magician Red by the neck choking it, which in turn choked Avdol.
"Wah, I can't believe he's able to make it manifest so distinctly. Well done," Avdol choked out.
"Your evil spirit is impressive too. So tell me, grandpa, you knew about these evil spirits?" Jotaro asked
"Of course I do," Joseph answered
"Mr. Joestar, when you asked me to get your grandson out this jail cell. I had planned on going easy on the boy, but in light of this tremendous power. I'm recognizing that just one misstep could put us all in incredible danger. Tell me if you want me to stop, if not I'll result to a use of force that could result in your grandson in the hospital," Avdol told Joseph.
"Like I said, do what you've gotta do," Joseph responded
"Huh?!" Hanabi thought fanning herself due to the intense heat.
"Yes, sir! Red bind!" Avdol shouted
Magicians Red shot out a stream of fire that wrapped itself around Jotaro capturing him.
"Huh?! What!?"
It pulled Jotaro forward slamming him into the metal bars.
"Man this is getting intense, and all this heat isn't helping," Hanabi said to herself. The glow beneath Hanabi got brighter finally catching the girl's attention. She looked down and let out a shriek when something came up from underneath her.
"Ahh, wh-what's happening!" Hanabi screamed
Suddenly whatever was under Hanabi enclosed in on her shutting close cutting off her view from the outside world sealing her inside.
"Ahhhh what this. What's going on!? Help!?" Hanabi yelled
She pushed her hands up against the unknown barrier. When it didn't budge Hanabi gave up.
She rubbed her hands against the surface of the barrier it was smooth yet firm, "This feels really familiar. What is it, what the heck am I in? At least cool in here."
Even though Hanabi's vision had been cut off she could still hear what was going on. She pressed her ear against the barrier and listened closely to what was occurring.
"Papa, that's enough what are you doing to Jotaro?!" Holly gasped
"Now Holly, be a good girl and let papa finish what he started okay," Joseph said to his daughter.
"The evil spirit is withdrawing," Holly said
"The heat is restraining his breathing, this causes the evil spirit to weaken, and now for the truth. It may seem like an evil spirit, but it's far from it. Jotaro, this thing that you think has possessed you is actually a powerful vision created by your own life energy. This vision will always appear standing by your side and because of that we call it a Stand!" Joseph explained
"A Stand?" Hanabi questioned listening.
"Ready to leave your cage now Jojo," Avdol smirked.
"I said it before. I keep hurting other people without even knowing I'm doing it, until that stops I'm staying here. It's nice to meet someone like me but if you keep this up…..you'll die," Jotaro stated
Hanabi heard a loud crash then the sound of water splashing.
"He just broke the damn toilet!" An officer shouted.
"You had your chance. Alright, bastard don't tell me I didn't warn ya!" Jotaro yelled
Hanabi heard a loud yell and then the sound of metal bending.
"What's Jotaro doing?!" Hanabi said
"AHHHHHH!"
Hanabi's eyes widened when she heard a war cry but then all noises ceased.
"Wh-what happened?" Hanabi pondered
"What the hell why'd you suddenly turn your back on me? We're not done!" Jotaro said
"Mr. Joestar, He's left his jail cell. I've accomplished what you've asked me to do right," Avdol said
Hanabi heard the sound of footsteps.
"So now what. You've got me huh?" Jotaro asked
"Not exactly. I did have every intention of sending you to the hospital, but you're stronger than I expected," Avdol said
"And if I had kept going with this steel rod. Just what would you have done?" Jotaro asked
"Do not underestimate my Stand Magicians Red. It could have easily melted that metal rod in mid-air into a worthless puddle," Avdol declared
Hanabi tuned out the rest of the conversation and let out a sigh of relief. Her friend was now out of his jail cell and no one had gotten seriously injured. Now it was time for her to get out.
"I'd hate to interrupt but could someone get me out of here!" Hanabi called out.
"What the hell?! Is that a giant flower bud?!" An Officer yelled
Everyone turned their attention to see a large flower bud sitting in the corner of the room. It was moving around, as Hanabi's voice came from the giant plant.
"What the-?"
"Hanabi dear are you in there?" Holly asked talking to the flower bud.
"Yes Mrs. Holly," Hanabi responded.
"So I was right."
"Right about what old man?" Jotaro asked
"When your friend told me she could see your Stand I knew that she herself must have had a Stand of her own. It seems like with the intense heat her Stand created this pod for a barrier," Joseph explained tapping on the flower bud.
"Uhm yeah that's nice and all, but I don't know how to get out," Hanabi announced.
"Yare, yare daze," Jotaro walked over to the flower bud.
He grips the top of the flower bud and peels back the petals revealing a surprised Hanabi.
Hanabi just looks up at Jotaro with a sheepish smile, "Thanks, JoJo."
