Judgement - Hanabi Why Do You Have That?!
The speedboat docked on the beach of the small island. As Hanabi went to get off Jotaro held his arms out, he grabbed Hanabi by the waist easily lifting her off the boat and onto the sand. Hanabi's cheeks tinted pink as she thanked Jotaro.
As the five started walking through the island Hanabi was amazed by all the flourishing plant life she saw.
"Hey, now. Does someone actually live here? It's such a tiny little island and it looks deserted," Polnareff said
"Indeed. Mr. Joestar, does he really live here?" Kakyoin asked
"He lives here by himself. That's what he told me back in India," Joseph replied
"What. Indian curry?" Polnareff questioned out loud.
A rustling sound caught everyone's attention, and they all paused looking towards the sound they all spotted a pair of eyes staring at them from a bush.
"Hey. Someone's watching us from the grass over there," Jotaro pointed out
Once the man was spotted he stood up and quickly ran away. Everyone took after the mysterious figure following after him through the shrubbery. They eventually came upon a small house with a fence in an open clearing. The hopped over the fence entering the yard of the dwelling. He picked up a basket of feed and started feeding some chickens acting as if the group wasn't there.
"That...man….He can't be….." Kakyoin said
"It can't be…" Polnareff said
Polnareff went to move forward but was stopped by Joseph.
"Hold it! I'll go talk to him. All of you, wait here," Joseph stepped forward, "My name is Joseph Joestar. I'm traveling to Egypt with these four-"
"Go away! I won't hear it! D-Don't talk to me! No one comes to see me with good news! It's only when something bad happens! I don't want to hear it!" The man yelled turning around.
Polnareff's eyes widened when he saw the face of Avdol, but this man's face was older and he had greying hair.
"Go away!" The man ran into the house and slammed the door.
"I-It can't be!" Kakyoin and Polnareff said
"That's Avdol's….father. He left the world behind, and lives alone on this island. I didn't tell any of you about this because if Dio were to find out that we stopped here, the peace Avdol's father enjoys here could be compromised. But telling him about his son Avdol's death won't be easy to do," Joseph explained
Polnareff looked down sadly and turned away from everyone.
Joseph put a comforting hand on Polnareff's shoulder, "Avdol's death was not your fault."
Polnareff slowly pulled away, "No it's my responsibility. I have to carry that." He slowly walked away heading back to the beach.
Once he was out of view Hanabi turned to the rest of the group, "So when are we gonna tell him the truth. I kinda feel bad."
"Well tell him once we leave," Joseph said
"Okay," Hanabi said
Joseph went into the house to talk while the teens stayed outside.
"Hey, you guys I'm gonna go look around the island. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of plants that I can find here to make some great medications and remedies," Hanabi said
Jotaro nodded, "Don't get in any trouble."
Hanabi smiled and nodded, "I'll scream if I do." She smiled before walking away.
"JoJo, I have a question for you," Kakyoin said as Hanabi walked away.
"Hey, you guys you wouldn't believe what I found!" Hanabi called out.
Kakyoin, Jotaro, along with Joseph and Avdol, who just walked out the house, all turned around at an excited Hanabi's voice.
"OH MY GOD!" Joseph yelled
Kakyoin's eyes widened as Avdol gasped.
Jotaro sighed looking at what Hanabi was holding.
"What's the problem?" Hanabi asked looking at their shocked faces.
None of the men answered as they watched a large green boa constrictor slither around Hanabi's shoulders.
"W-where did you get that?" Kakyoin asked
"Oh, I found him slithering up a tree I was trying to get some flowers from," Hanabi said
"And you grabbed him!" Joseph yelled
"No, well he just kind of climbed onto me. He's not poisonous, and isn't he cute. I think I'll call him Tony," Hanabi said
"Yare yare daze," Jotaro said
"How are you afraid of bugs but not snakes?" Kakyoin asked
"Bugs are gross, and there's nothing to really fear about a snake as long as you know which ones are venomous, and how to properly hold it. My mother used some for a photoshoot once and the trainer let me hold them," Hanabi said
"Well, you can't keep him," Jotaro said
Hanabi nodded her head but continued to smile as the snake moved about her.
Once Joseph said they were leaving Hanabi released Tony back into the wild giving him a happy send-off.
The sun had set and the group was ready to depart, but they were lacking one Polnareff and Avdol. When Polnareff hadn't returned from his walk Avdol went out to find him.
As the rest of the group waited on the beach they heard a rustle in the bush and out popped an injured Polnareff.
"Hey! You'll never believe this guys! Who do you think I met?" Polnareff smiled
"Polnareff! You're injured. It seems like half the time you're covered in blood!" Hanabi said
"Who cares about my wounds? Listen! Don't be shocked, Jotaro! Don't let your back go out in shock, Kakyoin! Don't faint Hanabi! Who do you think I met, Mr. Joestar? Behold and rejoice! Tum-ta-da-da! Here he is! That bastard Avdol was alive!" Polnareff said with a happy smile.
~Silence~
"Well let's go," Joseph said picking up his bag.
"I'll help you carry your luggage," Avdol said
"Thank you Avdol," Hanabi said
The five started to walk off leaving a stunned Polnareff.
"HEY!" Polnareff yelled
The five continued to chat as Polnareff stood there stunned.
"W-Wait a minute, you guys! Hey! I said wait, you assholes! Hey, what's the deal with that attitude?! A guy who was dead came back to life! What the hell?! Why are you having a normal conversation?!" Polnareff yelled
"Oh, Polnareff, I'm sorry. When I said I buried Avdol in India….That was a lie," Joseph said
"W-W-WHAT!?" Polnareff yelled
"It was Hanabi who tended to my wounds in India," Avdol said
Hanabi smiled and gave an uh-huh.
"Y-You assholes knew that Avdol was still alive in India, and you didn't tell me?! You too Kakyoin?!" Polnareff said
"I only found out the day after, but we couldn't let the enemy know," Kakyoin said
"I thought it was kind of mean, but Polnareff you can't lie and you've also kind of got a big mouth on ya," Hanabi said with a smiling with a sweatdrop.
"If you'd let the secret slip, Avdol couldn't have recovered in peace," Jotaro said
"Oh yeah! Avdol your dad is on this island! Let's let him know you're here!" Polnareff said running off.
"Oh that was me in disguise," Avdol said
Cue Polnareff face planting in the sand.
"W-what? Th-Then you guys….That was all….Did you have to go that far?! How dare you guys leave me out like that?!" Polnareff said eyes watering.
"Hey, now. There's no reason to cry," Joseph said
"I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd be this hurt," Kakyoin said
"Cheer up Polnareff," Hanabi said patting his back.
"I'm sorry Polnareff. There's a reason I came to this island in disguise," Avdol said
"A reason?" Polnareff asked
"It was partially so the enemy wouldn't find out, but I also had Avdol do a little shopping for me," Joseph said
"A little shopping?" Polnareff questioned
"It was a very conspicuous purchase. So I disguised myself as a rich Arab when I bought it," Avdol said
Joseph pointed out to the water and out came a luxury submarine.
"Whoa!" Hanabi gasped
"A submarine!?" Polnareff gaped
"That's right. From here, we'll ride to Egypt in this!" Joseph said
