The Sun - Why is it So Hot?!

After defeating Steely Dan and his Stand Lovers the group crossed the Arabian Sea at Karachi entering the United Arab Emirates.

The group made their way to a car dealership where Joseph was buying a car. Hanabi giggled as she watched Polnareff flirt with a saleswoman.

Once the car was bought everyone piled in. This one was a little more spacious making Hanabi rather happy since she wasn't sandwiched in between Jotaro and Kakyoin.

Polnareff was rather amazed with all the expensive looking homes.

As they were driving Kakyoin expressed his concerns about feeling watched, which was understandable.

Joseph said they were going to cross the desert to a small village and purchase a Cessna, which made Hanabi pale a little.

As if reading her thoughts Jotaro spoke out, "I don't really want to board a Cessna with a man who's been through three plane crashes."

Joseph glared back at his grandson but Hanabi felt the same way.

The group arrived at their destination, a small farm that sold camels. Hanabi gazed brightly at the tall creatures. She's never seen a camel in person and thought they were rather taller than she imagined but they were also adorable.

"You want camels? Sure, but they're pretty expensive and not easy to care for," The Camel Salesman said

"Were in a serious, life or death situation, so we need them, whatever it takes. As for payment," Joseph pointed at the new car he had just bought, "How about a trade for that car?"

"What?!"

"That's way too much sir," The salesman said

"Oh, I know. To make things even, I'd like the water in those tanks there. In a desert, that's the most important thing," Joseph said

"Water is cheap compared to that car. You sure are an odd one," The salesman's said

Joseph just simply smiled, "All right, everyone. Let's get ready."

Pretty soon the group was all packed up and they each had their own camels.

Hanabi smiled as she gave her camel a loving pat. She smiled as it nudged its head against hers asking for more love. Hanabi pulled out a peach feeding it to the camel giggling the whole time.

Polnareff wasn't having as much fun as Hanabi. He let out a disgusted groan as the camel breathed heavily in his face.

"I-It stinks! Hey Mr. Joestar. How do you get on it?" Polnareff asked

"Well, you see, with camels. You make them sit first, and then get on," Joseph explained

He walked over to his camel and pulled down on the reins but the animal did not budge. He kept pulling at the animal's reins but it just turned into like a single-sided game of tug o war. Joseph then tried to get on the camel by jumping on it but that didn't work either.

The camel shook its head covering Joseph's face in its salvia. Joseph then went to his pack and got out an apple he showed it the camel then put it on the ground. The camel followed the red fruit sitting down. Joseph gave a victorious grin and hopped onto the camel. His victory didn't last long because he lost control the moment he tried to get the camel to move.

Hanabi, Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Polnareff's eyes all followed Joseph as the camel stomped around crazily before throwing the old man off.

Hanabi approached her camel, she was looking forward to riding it, she'd rode horses before and that was fun. Hanabi gave a light tug on the camel's reign and unlike Joseph's camel, it sat down so she could easily climb on the saddle.

"Hey looks guys I did it!" Hanabi smiled.

Joseph looked at the girl in disbelief as she easily led the camel over to them.

Hanabi pulled the hood of her jacket over her head more to block out the rays of the sun. They had been traveling across the desert for hours now but for some reason, it only seemed to get hotter.

"Somethings wrong. I still can't shake the feeling that someone watching us," Kakyoin said

"Kakyoin, I think you're worrying a bit too much," Polnareff said

"Actually, I can't help but feel a presence, too," Jotaro said

"Hmmm Jotaro, look into it," Joseph said

Jotaro took out a pair of binoculars using Star Platinum's enhanced vision to look around. Hanabi let out a dry cough wiping off the sweat from her brow.

"Why is it so hot?" Hanabi wondered

"Do you see anything suspicious?" Joseph asked

"No, I don't. Here's nothing. But…..Something's weird. Something is…..," Jotaro trialed off.

"Hey, let's hurry up and go," Polnareff said

"Indeed. Let's get as far as we can, and once the sun goes down, we'll stop and put up our tents. It's too dangerous to travel at night," Joseph said

"But, man, it's hot. Look, its 50 degrees Celsius." Polnareff held up a thermometer.

"He's right it's really hot. Abnormally hot," Hanabi said

Joseph looked at his watch and gasped, "Eight o'clock? Wha? Jotaro! What time does your clock say?"

Jotaro brought out his watch, "Ten after eight….Hey Old man!"

"Ten after eight! B-But the sun should be down then!" Hanabi gasped

"I-Impossible! The thermometer just jumped to 60 degrees Celsius!" Polnareff shouted

Everyone looked at the sun to see that it was slowly rising higher in the sky.

"N-Not only is it not going down….."

"...but it's actually rising higher in the west!"

"Could the sun be…"

"...a Stand?!"

"I-I can't believe this! Were in the middle of the desert! Try to hide behind some rocks!" Joseph yelled

Everyone got off their camels and ran behind some large boulders.

Hanabi could feel the heat radiating off the sand under her feet, it was getting hotter with each passing second.

Hanabi peeked over the rocks and saw the camels looking woozy from the heat. Everyone did their best to locate the enemy Stand user but couldn't see anything. Hanabi gasped as her camel collapsed from the heat.

"I'll use Hierophant Green to look around," Kakyoin said

He sent Hierophant Green into the sky but once the distance reached 100 meters Kakyoin gasped.

"Something's not right! Kakyoin call back Hierophant Green!" Jotaro said

"Something's coming at us!" Polnareff said

"Before that happens, Emerald-!"

Kakyoin's attack was interrupted when the sun Stand attacked shooting out what seemed to pieces of flaming rock.

Hanabi ducked down behind a large boulder covering her head. Polnareff brought out Silver Chariot to deflect the attack.

Jotaro summoned Star Platinum, "I'm busting a hole in the ground so get in!"

Star Platinum struck the ground creating a giant hole and everyone divide in.

The Sun

Power - ? Speed- ? Range - ?

Durability - ? Precision - ? Potential - ?

It was still hot but at least they got a little more shade inside of the makeshift cave.

Luckily Hanabi kept her medical satchel around her and was able to patch up Kakyoin.

Joseph brought out a flask of water but when he held it up he saw a large hole in it, "Oh shit!" He threw the container into the dessert since it was useless now.

Everyone was now breathing heavily the heat taking a toll on them.

Joseph brought out the binoculars but when he tried to take a peek out of the cave the binoculars were hit by the Sun Stands attack.

"Ahhh! Son of a bitch! Where the hell are you?! How are you watching us? Is the enemy invisible or something?!" Joseph yelled

Minutes ticked by and it only got hotter. Hanabi felt her face and it felt like it was on fire. At this rate, she and her friends will be cooked alive.

Suddenly a small laughter was heard. Hanabi looked up to see Kakyoin pointing and laughing. His laughter got louder and more hysterical freaking out Joseph and Hanabi.

"A-are you alright Kakyoin! Get a grip!" Joseph shouted

Suddenly Jotaro started to laugh too really freaking out Hanabi and Joseph.

"J-Jotaro? You too?!" Joseph said

Hanabi scooted away from Jotaro a scared look present on her face. She'd seen Jotaro laugh before but not like this, it was downright terrifying.

Pretty soon Polnareff was joining in too, all three boys laughing as if they had heard the most hilarious joke in the world. Hanabi grabbed onto Joseph's arm hiding behind the older man. She wasn't even 100% sure this was actually happening, she might have passed out and this was just a fever-induced hallucination.

"Oh my god! They lost it because of the heat. Hanabi were the only sane ones left," Joseph said

Joseph grabbed the front of Jotaro's jacket, "Hey! Jotaro, calm down! Get a hold of yourself!"

"Don't get the wrong idea, Mr. Joestar. Look at that rock over there," Kakyoin pointed out of the cave, "Isn't it just big enough for someone to hide behind?"

Hanabi and Joseph looked out and saw a round rock.

"Look at the rock on the opposite side," Kakyoin said

"Opposite side?" Joseph questioned

Hanabi looked over and had to cover her mouth to stifle her burst of laughter now seeing what was going on. How could she have not seen it before?

Although Hanabi had got it Joseph did not.

"Hahahaha! It's so stupid!" Polnareff laughed

"Move. Out of my way Old Man." Jotaro moved to the entrance of the cave.

Star Platinum picked up a rock and pitched it forward with incredible force. It hit its target shattering glass.

"A hole appeared in the air?!" Joseph shouted in surprise.

"Yare yare daze. Your pathetic, Old man. I'll assume that the heats too much for you. Otherwise, it's hard to believe you're my grandfather," Jotaro said

The sky went from day to night as the giant Sun Stand vanished.

"Ahh that so much better," Hanabi sighed out taking her hood off.

"We've defeated the enemy Stand, so it's night now. Or should I say it's back to being night?" Kakyoin said

"Either way, were safe," Polnareff said

Everyone got out of the cave and walked over to the shattered glass, which was, in fact, a large mirror. Behind the mirror was a passed out man with a large goose egg on his head from where Star Platinum nailed him. The mirror was hooked up to some type of motorized chair, it even had an air conditioning system.

"He's got a tank of water. We'll gladly take it," Jotaro said

"Huh? Wait, that means….we beat him already? It's done? We don't even know this guys name, but we've already beaten his Stand, The Sun?" Joseph said

"That would be what it means," Kakyoin confirmed

The Sun

Power - B Speed - E Range - A

Durability - A Precision - E Potential - E

After gathering up their supplies the group packed up ready to finish their trek through the desert. Hanabi frowned as she gazed at her camel. The poor thing didn't make it through The Sun's attack and perished in the heat. Using her Stand she buried the animal making sure to plant a patch of desert marigolds on top.

Jotaro got onto his camel and steered his way over to Hanabi and held out his hand. Hanabi looked at Jotaro's hand and smiled, she grabbed onto it and Jotaro easily pulled her up onto his camel sitting her in front.

Halfway through their journey Hanabi fell asleep snuggling up close in Jotaro's arms.
