"Oh man, how'd I end up by myself," Hanabi murmured out sadly.

The Fool - Sand & Water! Simple Stands Are Dangerous!

Hanabi stared worriedly at the canteen as blood flowed out of it.

"The man said that the water was going to attack him and the pilot's mouth was full of water, so does that mean the Stand is made of water? Or does the Stand control water?" Hanabi pondered. "This has to be the work of one of those nine people Dio gathered. Who would have thought that we would be attacked so soon?"

Hanabi saw Jotaro pull out a pair of binoculars and used Star Platinum to look around, by the expression on his face he found nothing. That meant the Stand user was so far away that even Star Platinum couldn't locate them.

Hanabi looked to her right when she heard Polnareff and Kakyoin arguing, well it was more like Polnareff just yelling.

Suddenly a small pool of liquid formed right in front of them, a hand materialized out of the liquid and raked its claw-like fingernails down Kakyoin's face.

"Kakyoin!"

"It got Kakyoin! I-It got Kakyoin's eyes!" Polnareff screamed

"Polnareff! Stop panicking! Bring out Silver Chariot and defend yourself!" Joseph yelled

That's when the Stand formed underneath Polnareff's hand. It posied itself ready to attack but before it could move a loud beeping went off. The Stand turned around attacking the dead Speed Wagon crewmembers hand.

"It attacked his hand but-! *GASP* No it attacked his watch. It's picking out its target based on sound and movement," Hanabi said, "You guys it's tracking us by sound!" Hanabi called out.

"Sound?!" Polnareff said

Polnareff looked down at Kakyoin who he now had in his arms. Kakyoin's face was bleeding heavily and the blood dripping from his face landed on the ground catching the attention of the Stand.

"Shit! Polnareff! It's coming after you this time!" Joseph yelled

Polnareff picked up Kakyoin and started running to the vehicle as the Stand struck where he was just standing.

Hanabi watched Polnareff runs as fast as he could with Kakyoin in his arms but the enemy Stand was quickly catching up to them.

"He's not gonna make it!" Hanabi looked at the helicopter and yanked a piece of metal off of it.

The Stand was right at Polnareff's feet about to attack.

"HEY! OVER HERE!" Hanabi yelled banging the piece of metal on the ground.

The Stand immediately turned around going after its new target.

"Hanabi!" Everyone cried out.

"What is she doing?!" Joseph yelled

Hanabi stood her ground as the Stand raced towards her, allowing Polnareff and Kakyoin to make it safely to the car.

"It's gonna attack her!" Polnareff said

"Hope this works," Hanabi thought

Hanabi slammed hands on the ground as Queens Thorn's hands appeared on top of hers'. Suddenly vines shot out in every direction scattering the ground like a giant spider web. The vines were all connected back to Hanabi's fingers like a puppet master controlling multiple puppets. The enemy Stand stopped moving seemingly frozen, Hanabi was pretty sure that the Stand user was confused to as where all the sound came from when the vines formed.

Hanabi slightly moved her middle finger and one of the vines moved creating a small amount of sound and the Stand attacked it.

"Amazing! She created a webbing maze with her vines to throw off the Stand," Avdol said

Hanabi smiled but on the inside, she had been panicking. "I-I'm so glad that worked," She thought. "As long as I stay still and keep moving the vines, the Stand user won't attack the others. This should give them some time to think of a plan."

Geb

Power - C Speed - B Range - A

Durability - B Precision - D Potential - D

The men watched on top of the car as Hanabi continued to play her game of cat and mouse with the Stand. When the Stand would attack breaking off a piece of vine Hanabi would just regenerate a new one. The enemy Stand kept frantically attacking the vines, it reminded Hanabi of when a dog would chase its tail, going around and around never reaching its goal. Hanabi switched up the patterns of the vines and even made multiple ones move at one time to keep the Stand distracted.

"Hanabi has it distracted so we're safe for now," Joseph said

"We need to come up with a plan to defeat this Stand. Kakyoin needs to get to a doctor immediately," Avdol said

The men put their heads together but they seemed to hit a mental brick wall.

After about 10 minutes Hanabi started to breathe heavily. Keeping the Stand distracted was taking a lot of energy. She didn't know how much longer she could keep this up.

"I've never had to use Queens Thorn's power for so long. Having to constantly regrow vines is really draining-Wait a minute," Hanabi thought, "This Stand is made of water. Maybe if I make a flower big enough I could trap it inside. Like my flower bud shield in reverse."

Queens Thorn thorn appeared and it shot a seed out of its hand, like a bullet, into the middle of the web of vines and it burrowed into the sand. The enemy Stand went after it.

"That's right head right towards it," Hanabi thought with a smirk.

The Stand hit the ground.

"Gotcha!" Hanabi said

The Stand was quickly enclosed in a large flower and its petals snapped closed trapping the Stand.

"Whoo! She got it!" Polnareff cheered

The large flower bud moved around and shook as the Stand tried to get out.

Hanabi panted catching her breath as she bent over putting her hands on her knees. She wiped some sweat from her forehead.

"*GASP GASP* I-I'm glad that worked. The flower bud shield can take some pretty heavy damage it should be able to keep that Stand trapped long enough for us to find the Stand user," Hanabi said

"OY Hanabi!" Polnareff called out.

Hanabi looked up and gave the group a thumbs up. She picked herself up and started jogging over to the car. The sooner they left the sooner they could get Kakyoin to a doctor.

As Hanabi walked over Jotaro looked at the flower bud as it stopped moving.

"Good job Hanabi!" Joseph congratulated

Hanabi smiled as she walked past the flower bud. That's when it happened. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the enemy Stand broke through the flower and shot out right at Hanabi.

"Hanabi!"

Hanabi let out a cry of pain as the Stand struck her back sending her flying forward.

"Hermit Purple!"

Joseph used Hermit Purple to snatch Hanabi out of the air and pull her to the car. Jotaro caught Hanabi in his arms and his hands became wet soaked in Hanabi's blood.

The Stand zoomed under the car disappearing into the sand.

"I-I guess I wasn't able to make the flower bud strong enough with the amount of energy I had left," Hanabi breathed out.

"Hanabi…." Jotaro said

Hanabi tried to sit up but Jotaro forced her down.

"It's fine Jotaro my inu-"

"Stop!" Jotaro said cutting of Hanabi, "You're injured rest. You've already done enough."

Hanabi looked at Jotaro but then gave him a small smile relaxing into his arms.

Suddenly the car started to shake and then the front portion was pulled into the sand.

"What?!" Joseph yelled

The car was sticking straight up out of the sand. Avdol caught Kakyoin from falling while Jotaro held Hanabi close to him as he dangled off the back. Iggy simply hoped out of the car.

"The tires are in the water! Shit! It's no use. Were being pulled in!" Jotaro yelled

"We're going to slip!" Avdol said

"Move further back!" Joseph said as they climbed to very back of the car.

"Helper! Come on, damn it! Help, already! Hey!" Polnareff yelled at Iggy.

Iggy just stayed unmoving laid out on the sand. He let out a yawn and stretched before laying back down closing his eyes.

"How careless can you be?! You stupid dog!" Polnareff yelled pissed.

The car rocked as the front wheels were severed off and then split in half by the enemy Stand.

"It's so sharp! It cut the front tires in half!" Joseph yelled

The car shook more and then fell back.

"Shit! Everyone hang on!" Joseph cursed

The car hit the ground causing everyone to fly off it landing on the sand. Jotaro kept a tight hold on Hanabi as they landed on the ground making sure to keep the girl off the sand.

"The water sank…..Everyone, don't move!" Avdol said

"No one make a sound!" Joseph said

Hanabi sat frozen in Jotaro's lap as she watched Avdol move. He removed the bangles on his wrist and started to toss them into the sand mimicking footsteps. It was a smart idea. Avdol would know exactly where the Stand would strike and he could attack it with Magician's Red.

"With a water Stand vs. a Fire Stand I'm sure Avdol will come out on top," Hanabi thought

Everyone waited with bated breath for the Stand to emerge. Water started to bubble to the surface as Avdol summoned Magician's Red.

"Now! Magicians Red!" Avdol said

Magicians Red sprung forward with a fiery fist but the enemy Stand dodged the attack and whipped itself around attacking Avdol.

"Wha-!"

"Avdol!" Joseph yelled

Blood sprung out of Avdol's neck as he fell back.

"Avdol!" Hanabi yelled reaching forward.

Avdol laid out on the sand gasping for air as more blood poured out of his neck wound.

"Avdol! The Stand got his neck! He needs medical treatment now!" Hanabi cried

The water Stand reappeared and it reformed into a hand hovering over Avdol.

Hanabi was about to cry out but it instead turned into a gasp as Star Platinum appeared tossing her high into the air, as Jotaro took off running.

"Jotaro!" Hanabi yelled

"You fool! Jotaro, what are you doing?!" Joseph yelled

The water Stand dove back into the stand taking chase after Jotaro.

"Hey! It dived! The waters started chasing after Jotaro," Polnareff pointed out.

"So that's what he's trying to do. It won't attack Avdol again, but….Jotaro!" Joseph said

Hanabi felt herself start to fall back down, "Someone please catch me!"

Polnareff looked up putting his arms out easily catching Hanabi. She thanked Polnareff wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug causing the Frenchman to smile.

Hanabi quickly turned her attention back to Jotaro, he ran towards Iggy grabbing the dog by the scruff of his neck. Jotaro stopped running and shoved Iggy into the ground holding the squirming dog firmly in place.

"Don't stop Jotaro!" Joseph yelled

Iggy kept struggling to get out of Jotaro's hold but it was a futile effort.

Iggy finally stopped struggling and sand started to form around him and Jotaro. A cyclone of sand surrounded the two and when it died down Iggy was no longer under Jotaro's hand but up in the air being held by The Fool. Iggy used his Stand to escape and created wings to keep himself afloat above the ground.

Jotaro jumped up and grabbed onto Iggy's Stand as it floated in the air. The Fool glided away taking Jotaro and Iggy with it.

"That's good. Jotaro's going to travel through the air and use Iggy to find the Stand user," Jotaro said

"Th-That's good," Hanabi said getting out of Polnareff's arms.

"Hanabi-!"

"No, my wounds only look bad but Avdol and Kakyoin need immediate medical care and I'm the only one who can give it to them," Hanabi declared

Joseph and Polnareff looked at Hanabi even though she said she was fine they could see her wince from the pain, and the back of her shirt was soaked through with blood.

"Jotaro's doing his part. I know we can trust this fight to him, but now I need to do my part as well." Hanabi thought

"Polnareff!" Hanabi shouted getting his attention. She started to lift up her skirt causing the Frenchman to get a giddy smile.

His small fantasy was shattered when a small bottle hit his face along with a rag.

Hanabi put her skirt back down covering her medical thigh pack. "That bottle had disinfectant in it. I want you to clean out Kakyoin's wounds while I check on Avdol."

Hanabi went over to the fallen Egyptian.

"How is he?" Joseph asked as Hanabi checked Avdol over.

Hanabi smiled and looked over at Joseph, "Avdol's lucky. The wound isn't too deep and the Stand didn't hit a major artery. I'll bandage him up right now, but he'll need a few stitches."

Once Hanabi was done with Avdol she went over to Kakyoin tenderly examing his eyes. Polnareff sat behind her worried.

"Well…..Since I'm not a doctor I don't know the full extent of the damage but if I'm correct the attack just grazed the top of his eyes. If I'm right he won't lose his eyesight," Hanabi said

Polnareff cheered behind Hanabi as she wrapped up Kakyoin's wound.

"Now that they're taken care of could one of you please bandage my back?" Hanabi asked

Polnareff smiled knowing Hanabi would have to take off her shirt for her wound to be treated.

"I'll do it," Joseph stated deflating Polnareff.

Once Hanabi was patched up the group loaded Kakyoin and Avdol into the car and drove off heading in the direction Jotaro and Iggy had floated off to.

"I see him!" Hanabi shouted pointing in the distance.

"Jotaro!" Joseph yelled

"Jotaro! Are you alright!?" Polnareff called out.

Iggy let out a howl and started barking as the car came closer parking. Hanabi hopped out of the car and started running over to Jotaro a smile on her face, but before she could reach Jotaro something slammed into her chest making her fall back into the sand.

Hanabi giggled as Iggy licked her face, "Hahaha! I'm happy to see you too! Did you help Jotaro defeat that nasty Stand user? I'm sure you were tough!" She praised the dog.

Iggy cuddled closer into Hanabi's chest as she sat up. Jotaro looked at the two and saw Iggy looking up at him with a smug look as he dug himself deeper into Hanabi's chest.

"Yare yare daze," Jotaro said annoyed.
