The Emperor and The Hanged Man - Oh No Avdol!

Once their train had reached its destination the group took a ferry to their next destination.

The ferry docked in Calcutta, and Hanabi gathered her things. The group gathered at the exit ready to hop off once the door opened.

"Were about to cross India. But, well, I'm a little worried. My image of India is a place where people only eat curry and you could fall ill at any time," Joseph said

"I'm worried that my body may not be able to handle the culture gap," Polnareff said

Avdol simply laughed at the worried men, "That assessment is rather distorted. You needn't worry. It's a nice country where simple people live. I guarantee it."

The platform was let down and Avdol approached the doors.

"Well, we're in Calcutta. Let's go," Avdol said

*HONK*

"Hey, give me a tip!"

"Let me carry that for you!

"Want a tattoo? You're so pretty!"

"Miss Miss would you like to buy some jewelry!"

"Need some anti-venom? It won't hurt your stomach!"

As soon as the group had set foot on land they were crowded by people. Hanabi held onto Jotaro afraid she would get lost in the large mob.

"I stepped in some cow shit!" Polnareff yelled

"I don't need any." Joseph waved his hands trying to fend off an aggressive vendor.

Kids started grabbing and pulling on Jotaro.

"Yahhh! Someone touched my butt!" Hanabi squealed

Jotaro instantly picked Hanabi up putting her on his shoulders.

"A-Avdol! Is this India?" Joseph asked

"See? Isn't it a great country? Hahahaha! This is what makes this country so wonderful!" Avdol laughed

After having an arduous time with the crowd the group was finally able to make it to their hotel. There was a restaurant inside and the group had settled down enjoying a meal.

Avdol had recommended the Chai Tea.

Hanabi was happy to try some and found it quite delicious.

"At last a little peace," Joseph sighed out.

"It's just a matter of getting used to it. Once you get used to it you'll see how wonderful this country is," Avdol said

"I like this place. Its pretty great," Jotaro said

Hanabi choked a little on her tea hearing that. Jotaro liking a loud crowded place like this. Joseph was just as stunned as Hanabi.

Polnareff had gotten up and excused himself to the restroom while everyone looked at what they wanted to order.

"Hmmmm….I know cows aren't eaten here, maybe come curry?" Hanabi pondered

The group ordered and received their food rather quickly. Hanabi was about to take a bite out of her food when Polnareff ran back in.

"Stand! Where's the user? Who is it?!" Polnareff yelled he looked around the room and then ran out.

Everyone followed him.

"What's wrong, Polnareff?" Joseph asked

"If that….If that was the Stand, that means…..That means he's finally here! Jotaro, Hanabi, the Stand user you heard about that uses mirrors is here! The bastard that killed my little sister!" Polnareff turned to the group, "Mr. Joestar, I'll be traveling on my own here."

"Wh-!"

"Now that I know the guy who killed my sister is nearby, I'm not going to wait for him to come after me. I'd be at a disadvantage if I let him attack me, and it's not my style. I'll find him first and kill him!" Polnareff declared

"Even though you don't know what he looks like, or what his Stand is?" Kakyoin said

"Knowing that he had two right hands is plenty! And he knows that I'm after him, as well. He should be worried that I'll come for his head in his sleep. See ya," Polnareff said going to walk away.

"You'll go out for wool only to come home shorn," Avdol said

"What's that supposed to mean?" Polnareff asked

"Just as it sounds," Avdol said

"Are you implying that I'm going to lose?" Polnareff said

"Indeed. Can't you see that the enemy purposely attacked to get you alone? I will not allow you to travel alone, Polnareff," Avdol said

The conversation quickly got heated as Polnareff told off Avdol and the two men started to argue. After a few minutes of shouting, harsh words, a little shoving, and an almost thrown fist, Polnareff left going after the mysterious Stand user.

The group returned back to their meal minus one french Stand user. Hanabi got rather worried for Polnareff, seeing as it started to rain. She stared sadly down at his empty seat, hoping her friend was okay.

Since Polnareff hadn't come back everyone decided that once the rain let up they would go out to find him. The rain only lasted about ten more minutes and the group split up by themselves but Hanabi went with Jotaro.

After about 15 minutes of searching and finding no sign of him Hanabi really started to get worried.

"Do you think we'll find him? I'm concerned, he's going up against an unknown Stand user and all he's focused on his revenge it's clouded his judgment and reasoning. What if he….." Hanabi trialed off looking down sadly.

Jotaro looked down at the crescent fallen Hanabi.

He placed a hand on her shoulder making her look up.

"Don't worry we'll find him," Jotaro said

Hanabi looked at Jotaro and she felt a little sense of relief. She nodded her head and the two continued to look around. Pretty soon they ended up crossing paths with Joseph and he was having just as much luck finding Polnareff as them.

As three continued to look, two men, walked by and their conversation caught the three's attention.

"Did you see what happened a few streets over?" A man asked

"Hmmm no?" The other man responded.

"There was a fight between some foreigners and I heard one of them was shot," The man said

Hanabi froze hearing those words. She turned to the men and grabbed on one of their sleeves catching their attention.

"E-Excuse me. Do you know what street this fight happened on?" Hanabi asked fervently.

"Oh, it was a few streets down. You go left and make two rights," The man told Hanabi.

"Thank you!" Hanabi said before running off.

Jotaro and Joseph quickly followed after the girl. Hanabi followed the directions that the man gave her and when she turned the corner and gasped.

Jotaro and Joseph appeared behind Hanabi and they both stopped eyes wide.

Lying in the middle of the road in a pile of blood was Avdol.

"Avdol!" Hanabi yelled running over. She dropped on her knees tears going down her cheeks.

Jotaro and Joseph walked up looking down at Avdol shadows casted over their eyes. Hanabi cried as she threw herself onto Avdol. She cried and gripped onto his coat.

"A-A-Avdol…" Hanabi choked out. She continued to cry on the man but then her eyes widened.

Joseph reached down to comfort the girl, "Hanabi-!"

Joseph was surprised when Hanabi slapped away his hand and told him to shush.

Joseph was about to say something but stopped when Jotaro put a hand on his shoulder.

Hanabi lowered Avdol's shirt getting a better view of his chest.

"What are you-!?"

"Shush!" Hanabi interrupted Joseph.

Hanabi put her head back on Avdol's chest and put both her hands on his neck. She waited a few seconds then gasped pulling back.

"H-H-He's alive!"

"Really!?" Joseph gasped

"Yeah! His heart rate is really slow but he's alive, just barely. He needs immediate medical care. Call an ambulance and I'll do what I can!" Hanabi said

"I'll call Speedwagon!" Joseph ran off to find a phone.

Hanabi took off her leather satchel and opened it relieving an array of medical supplies. Hanabi notices the pool of blood under Avdol was not coming from his head wound, so that must mean he has a wound on his back too.

"Jotaro! Can you help me?" Hanabi asked

Jotaro bends down and lifts Avdol up for Hanabi. She instantly sees where the blood was coming from. She takes off Avdol's jacket and shirt.

"A stab wound. That's where he's losing most of his blood," Hanabi said examining the wound, "Jotaro holds him up while a sew the wound up. It'll be a minor repair but if I close it up it then he'll definitely make it to a hospital.

She reached into her satchel and pulled out a needle and thread. She quickly disinfected the wound and started to sew up the stab wound.

Jotaro watched Hanabi work, remembering whenever he used to get into fights and get minor scrapes Hanabi would always be there to patch him up.

"Jotaro you got into another fight huh," middle school Hanabi grabbed Jotaro's knuckles which were scrapped, "Guess I'll I have to fix you up." She joked with a smile.

"There finished," Hanabi said cutting the thread. "I'll disinfect his head wound and wrap it up too."

Hanabi looked over at Jotaro and saw that he was staring at her.

"Hmmm? Something wrong Jotaro?" Hanabi asked

Jotaro smiled and pulled down his cap. He placed a hand on Hanabi's shoulder, "You're still the same."

"Huh?" Hanabi questioned not knowing what was going on.

"Don't change….," Jotaro said

Hanabi blushed at the words and then looked away going back to treating Avdol's wounds.

"You don't change either…...JoJo," Hanabi thought

The Speedwagon Foundation arrived quickly taking Avdol's to the nearest hospital. They decided that it be best to keep it secret from the other two right now. The fewer people who knew about Avdol surviving the better, that way he could recover in peace.

"Good job Hanabi! You helped saved Avdol's life," Joseph said

"Hehe well…." Hanabi rubbed the back of her neck, "I just hope that he makes a full recovery."

"Don't worry. The Speedwagon Foundation have access to the best medical equipment, he'll be in good hands," Joseph reassured the girl.

"Great," Hanabi said, "But now…."

"We need to find Kakyoin and Polnareff," Jotaro finished.

"Right," Hanabi said

The three went back to searching for the rest of their group. As they walked through an alleyway they heard what sounded like gunshots and shattering glass.

"Hey, Jotaro give me a boost," Hanabi said

Jotaro easily picks up Hanabi setting her on his left shoulder. Hanabi looks up over the wall of the alleyway spotting three men, two of them being Kakyoin and Polnareff.

"I see them!" Hanabi shouted

"Kakyoin and Polnareff?" Joseph asked

"Yeah but there's another man with them and he's got a strange gun with him-" Hanabi squinted watching the man turn and run, "-wait now he's running this way."

Jotaro sets Hanabi down as the man turns into the alleyway, but is met with Jotaro's fist to his face.

The man falls back blood spurting from his nose.

"Mr. Joestar! Jotaro! Hanabi!" Kakyoin called out.

"Gah! What happened to you two you're covered in blood!" Hanabi yelled pointing at Kakyoin and Polnareff.

"We already know about, Avdol. Though it was a simple funeral, his body's been buried," Joseph said

Everyone heard whimpering next to them and saw the man Jotaro had punched cowering on the ground.

"The one who stabbed Mr. Avdol in the back was the man with two right hands, but the cause of his death was Hol Horse's bullet." Kakyoin pointed down at the man. "What shall we do with him?"

"I'll give him his sentence," Polnareff walked up to Hol Horse and Silver Chariot came out, "Death!"

Before Silver Chariot could strike, Polnareff was knocked over by a woman.

"Please run, Sir Hol Horse!"

Polnareff tried his best to try and pry the woman off but she had a tight grip.

"Jotaro, Kakyoin, don't let Hol Horse get away!" Polnareff said

"Too late," Jotaro said

Hol Horse was already up and on a horse and was quickly riding away.

"Well they say cowards know how to flee fast," Hanabi said

"And where did he get that horse." She thought

Polnareff continued to try and shake the woman off and ended up dragging her across the ground.

"Damn it…" Polnareff cursed. "Guess it can't be helped. All right! Let's resume our trip to Egypt. Listen if we're gonna go after Dio our hearts have to be as one. We can't go off on our own. Got it!"

Everyone chuckled at Avdol's previous statement now being said by Polnareff.

"Let's get a move on!" Polnareff said

"Yare yare daze," Jotaro said
