It's been a couple of weeks hasn't it?
Well I apologize for that! I kept rewriting scenes and starting from scratch in this chapter and I even got a writers block while working on thisヾ( ￣O￣)ツ
Egypt
"I'm apologize to tell you this my Lord but it appears Strength has just been defeated." Enyaba informed the vampire, who was reading a book quietly in his chair.
A page flipped over to the next on its own as Enyaba bowed down and continued, "But fear not, there's six more Stand users remaining and they're much more powerful than this one! And one of them is my own son!"
The old woman revealed both hands, her left hand was a right hand.
"My son's right hands will surely dispose all of them! Hee Hee!"
Dio smirked with as he closed his book, "Hmph. You truly are a strange old woman." He remarked and looked over at Enyaba.
"What is it that you desire, Enyaba?" Dio queried.
Enyaba raised her head up with a devious smile, "Why I've told you many times. My wish is to be by your side watching you succeed! A Stand is a spirit that protects their user and yours has such tremendous amount of power!"
Dio rose from his chair as his Stand manifested next to him. It was barely visible but it was clear that it's humanoid and very muscular.
"In your mortal years you lived in an unlucky and strange life. I want to witness your life and achieve! That is all I desire, Lord Dio..."
"HEE HEE HEEEHEEEEEEHEEE!"
The Crusaders were rescued by another ship and were safely taken to the nearest port of Singapore.
Noriko gazed up at the tall buildings and the streets around her. Everything was clean and the statues looked beautiful to admire.
"The streets here are clean like in Japan. I'm sure they're strict when it comes to littering." She commented and looked over at Jotaro.
"Hey Jojo." She called him out. "Did you know in the 13th century, a prince from Sumatra traveled out in the seas seeking for new lands and spotted an island that had white-maned lions called Singas. So, he named the island Singapura which also means Lion City." She informed with a smile.
"No I didn't know that, but that explains all these lion statues around." Jotaro said as he glanced at the statues.
"Another interesting fact is that this is the world's busiest port because of Singapore's free trade and multiculturalism." She added.
"Finally, we're here!" Polnareff interrupted as he walked down the ramp while stretching his arms up before putting them down. "I'm tired of sleeping on boats!" He remarked and joined the group.
Joseph crossed his arms and glanced at everyone. "I suggest we should all take a break for today and check in at a hotel for night. Luckily there's a hotel right down the street from here so we'll stay there. Once we're all settled in our rooms, we'll discuss our route to Egypt."
Everyone agreed with a nod and before they can proceed with their journey, a loud whistle was going off and was getting closer and closer.
The Crusaders turned their gaze at an angry police officer running towards them.
"You! Yeah you with the tall hair!" He pointed at Polnareff.
Polnareff pointed at himself, "Uh?"
"You left your trash here, didn't you?! In case you didn't know, littering is a prohibited law in Singapore! Your fine will be five-hundred Singapore dollars!"
"What? Five-hundred?" Polnareff queried as he was still confused by the officer's accusation.
"Five-hundred Singapore dollars? Isn't that forty-thousand yens?" Noriko commented.
"Roughly around there." Joseph said.
Polnareff placed both hands on his hips, "Look officer, I have no idea what the hell you're talking about! I don't know what trash you're speaking of…" He trailed as he glanced down at his luggage, which the officer was pointing at.
Noriko covered her mouth with a hand as she chuckled while Avdol coughed out a laugh, trying to hold back his laughter.
Polnareff, offended by the officer's accusation, placed a hand on the man's shoulder.
"Hey, officer, I don't see anything here besides my own damn luggage here!" Polnareff stated and pointed at the officer. "So can you care to point out what trash you're talking about?"
The officer became frightened as he realized he made a mistake. He gave the Frenchman a nervous smile.
"Y-Your l-luggage?" He stammered.
"Why of course!" Polnareff said as he patted the officer's shoulder again.
"P-Pardon me sir!"
Everyone let out a laugh and another laughter joined theirs. They all stopped and glanced at the person who intervened.
It was Anne. She was still following the group when they thought she had left to reunite with her father.
She quickly stopped laughing and turned around with her hands behind her back with a pout.
"W-Well, I-I'll be going now, have a nice day!" The policeman apologized and took off.
"Hey, didn't you tell us you were going to meet your father here?" Joseph asked the little brunette.
"Why don't you stop following us and get going! Shoo!" Polnareff said.
Anne sat down on the cement and scoffed, "I'll meet him in five days. So I can go wherever I want! I don't have to take any orders from you guys!"
She looked away with a pout but gazed back at Jotaro and Noriko while they discussed on what to do with her.
"It's too risky for her to be following us." Avdol stated as he crossed his arms.
"But Mr. Avdol she probably has nowhere to go and have no money. We can't just abandon her out here in the open." Noriko insisted.
"Hmmm…" Joseph thought for a moment and glanced at Anne. He sighed, not liking the decision he's going to make.
"Alright then, I guess we can pay for her hotel room for at least a couple of nights." He averted his gaze at the Frenchman.
"Polnareff, ask her to come along with us but please don't hurt her pride."
"On it, Mr. Joestar!"
Polnareff walked up to the little girl.
"Hey, you're broke right? Follow us and we'll spot you."
Noriko shot a glare at the Frenchman. "Polnareff!" She scolded.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Polnareff asked, looking at everybody with a questioned look.
Avdol chuckled while Joseph sighed in disappointment and Jotaro pulled the brim of his hat down.
They all walked inside the hotel and saw the lobby crowded with dozens of people in it.
"Is there some kind of event going on?" Noriko wondered as they made their way at the main desk.
They checked in as Joseph signed the papers but the employee informed to them that they wouldn't be able to get their own rooms due to how full it is.
"I apologize for that sir but we do get full around this time of the year." The woman behind the desk said.
"Is it alright if the rooms are not close to each other?" The woman asked.
"Well," Joseph handed the woman her pen back, "We honestly don't have a choice, hmm…" He looked over at Avdol.
"I guess you and I will share a room," He then glanced at the others.
"What about you four? Who will share with who?" He asked them.
Polnareff turned his gaze at Noriko with a sly smirk and was about to wrap an arm around her shoulders.
Realizing what the Frenchman was gonna say, Noriko quickly moved away from the him and grabbed Anne's hand.
"I'll share with Anne. After all, we're both ladies and we must have our privacy." Noriko said with a smile and reached over the counter to grab one of the keys.
Polnareff cursed under his breath, "Damn it!"
"Alright, so that just leaves both Jotaro and Polnareff to sharing a room together." Joseph stated and hands the key to his grandson.
Jotaro grunted under his breath, not caring who he shared with.
Anne and Noriko's hotel room in the same hallway as Joseph and Avdol's but for Jotaro and Polnareff, their room was at a different floor.
Noriko and Anne walked into their hotel room and Anne gasped from seeing the luxurious room.
"Wow! There's even a balcony with a view of the ocean!" Anne said as she ran at the sliding glass doors, opening them and walked over to the railings of the balcony.
"Woooow, it's so pretty!" She complimented as she leaned against the railings, admiring the view and watched the ferries and speedboats pass by.
Noriko placed her luggage on top of a bed and unzipped it. She grabbed her new set of uniform and undergarments and headed to the bathroom.
"Anne, I'll be in the shower if you need anything." Noriko placed her hand on the bathroom doorknob and looked over at Anne one more time. "Oh, and if Mr. Joestar or Mr. Avdol calls, tell them I'll give them a call back."
"Okay!" Anne replied as she remained in her spot.
In Jotaro and Polnareff's room, Polnareff cautiously searched around the room to find any enemies hidden in their room.
Jotaro had recently left to buy cigarettes so Polnareff was alone.
The Frenchman stood in the middle of the room with a hand on his hip and the other under his chin. He tapped his chin twice and glanced down, noticing a couple of empty beers and sodas on top of a mini-fridge.
"Hmm? Did Jotaro do this while I was outside in the balcony?" He thought and narrowed his eyes.
"I figured, you bastards never seem to let us have a break. Come on now! Show yourself!" Polnareff demanded and took a few steps back, keeping a distance.
The fridge slowly opened and revealed a tall tanned man crawling out of it. The cold air from the fridge spread across the room and the man stood up.
"You got a pretty fierce aura, eh? Well then, why don't you start introducing yourself before I, Polnareff, kill you?"
The man smirked, "My name is Devo, also known as Devo the Cursed. My Stand's card is The Devil." He introduced himself.
"My Stand's card represents curses of dark manipulations, deteriorating mental health, and an unfavorable path of ruin and downfall." He explained.
"By the way, how did you know I was in the fridge?" He queried with a smirk still on his face.
"Are you that fucking dense?!" Polnareff shouted as he approached the man and grabbed his shirt.
"You left out all these beverages out in the damn open!"
Devo grinned, which made Polnareff quickly move himself away from him.
"EBONY DEVIL!"
Polnareff narrowed his eyes and got in a stance.
"SILVER CHARIOT!"
The swordsman Stand stabbed the man's face multiple times.
"GYAAAAAHHH!" Devo shrieked in pain as he stepped away from the Frenchman. The blood splattered on the side of the walls with his Stand vanishing next to a creepy doll that was sitting on top of a dresser.
Polnareff smirked and scoffed with his arms crossed. "Hmph. Is that really all you got? That ape we encountered in the middle of the ocean was much more terrifying and powerful than you." He remarked as his Stand diminished.
"Y-You...You bastard!" Devo yelled while clutching the side of his face with blood gushing out of his wounds.
"Huh?" Polnareff starred at the man.
"Now...Now you've done it, Polnareff!" He said roughly as he began to laugh hysterically.
Polnareff blinked twice in confusion.
"How dare you fucking do this to me?! WEHEHEHAHAHA!"
Polnareff took a step back as he glared at him. He was beginning to feel a bit frightened from the man's sudden change of behavior. First, he was in pain and now laughing?
"I-It hurts! It really fucking hurts! WEHEHEHEHEHAHAHA!" Devo said as he kept walking backwards, tumbling the furniture down.
"What the hell is up with him?" Polnareff thought.
Devo ended up going out in the balcony, leaving a trail of blood.
He raised an arm and pointed at the Frenchman.
"Damn you Polnareff!" He said. "How dare you fucking do this to me?!"
"Now I hold a grudge against your ass!" He continued as he was now against the railings. He raised up his up his arms and looked up in the sky.
"Such painful agony that I must avenge! Oh yes! This is a good thing for me! I let you purposely attack me, Polnareff! You have no idea what you got yourself into! HAHAHAHAH!" Devo threw himself over the balcony.
Polnareff stood there and heard Devo land on something.
Rushing over to the balcony, he looked below, only seeing the street and cars pass by but no sign of Devo anywhere.
"What the-?! Where did he go?! I just heard him land!" Polnareff narrowed his eyes.
"H-He completely disappeared! What the hell is going on?" He muttered and felt a very sharp pain on his ankle.
A piece of his skin and shoe came off.
"GAH!" Polnareff grabbed onto the railing as he was about to fall.
He looked back at the room but saw nobody there.
"This is unreal! W-When did he cut me?! I didn't even know he had attacked me!"
Polnareff quickly limped himself to the bed and grabbed the phone that was on his dreser. Without realizing it, the doll that was sitting on that same dresser wasn't there anymore.
He dialed a number and waited for someone to pick up while he grabbed any piece of fabric from his luggage to wrap it around his ankle.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Joestar! A Stand user was hiding in this room and- wait a minute, Avdol?! Where's Mr. Joestar?!"
"He's busy changing at the moment, and you said there was a Stand user hiding in your room?"
The Frenchman shook his head as he continued. "Just listen! As I was saying, this bastard is really confusing! I don't know if he's weak or strong but he's really creepy. His name is Devo, Devo the Cursed, something like thatand his Stand's card suggests The Devil. He just ran away and I have no clue where he went." He tightened the fabric around his ankle as he hissed.
"Devo?!" Avdol shouted on the other end. "Devo the Cursed?!"
"Are you certain that's what he told you?"
"Yes! Why would I lie of who attacked me?! Anyway, I still can't seem to make sense of it. I only saw his Stand for a brief moment but even though he didn't attack me, my ankle ended up getting cut open! So right now, I need all of you to keep your guard up!"
"Where's Jotaro? Isn't he with you?" Avdol inquired.
"He left when we barely got in the room. He said he had to buy cigarettes and still hasn't return. I might run into him when I head over to your room. It's 1212 on the twelfth floor, isn't it? I'll be there in five minutes."
Polnareff looked down and found the same creepy doll he saw earlier when he entered the room. He could've sworn it was on the dresser but assumed it had fallen under the bed when Devo tried to attack him.
Picking up the doll, he examined it for a moment before settling it down next to the phone.
"Also make sure to contact Noriko about this. Bye!" He hangs up the phone and dials another number.
Avdol hanged up the phone and picked it up, but before he could dial the number to Noriko's room, Joseph sat down on a chair and spoke.
"Tell me Avdol. Do you know who attacked Polnareff?" Joseph queried after taking a sip of his coffee.
He settled the cup down on the table as Avdol nodded.
"I do. His name is Devo but he's known as Devo the Cursed." Avdol turned his head at Joseph.
"He's a Native American shaman who works for hire...He's a terrifying Stand user." He warned. "The Mafia, militaries, politicians hire him for the use of his services from around the world."
"I actually met him once a long time ago. When I saw him, he was covered with wounds on his face. The reason for that is because he provokes his enemies in order for them to attack him. Once they attacked him, he obtains power of vengeance which he controls through his Stand. This is why to normal people it appears like they were killed by a curse."
Joseph narrowed his eyes, "So Polnareff fell for the trap..."
"I believe so Mr. Joestar..."
"What kind of Stand is it? What can it do?" Joseph inquired.
"Nobody knows. For those who have seen it are dead."
"Hmm..." Joseph glanced at the door.
"Right now it's too dangerous for Polnareff to be alone especially that Jotaro isn't with him. That's including us as well, we can't be alone." Avdol warned.
"So we're in a situation where the enemy can pick us off one at a time..." Joseph averted his eyes back at Avdol.
"Polnareff we'll be here in five minutes and I would suggest everyone meet up in this room." Joseph said.
Avdol affirmed with a nod and dialed Noriko's number.
Noriko sighed happily as she left the bathroom. She felt refreshed and had put on her new set of uniform. It was practically the same except her shirt was sleeveless now. The uniform shirt was white and green, her sailor collar and cuffs were green with two white stripes on each. Her shirt was also shorter than her previous one, it stopped at her waist and despite the heat, she still wore her leggings underneath her green high-waisted skirt.
"Hey Anne, who was it that called?" Noriko queried as she sat on her bed and looked through her luggage to find her jewelry and accessories.
While the red-headed teen was in the shower she had heard the phone ring and Anne answered.
"Oh! It was Mr. Avdol. He said everyone has to meet in his room because something happened. He also said everyone should be there in five minutes." Anne responded as she continued to watch cartoons.
Noriko halted from putting on her choker, "Are we in danger already?" She thought and glanced at the phone.
After she put all her jewelry back on, she reached down to grab her shoes and began putting them on.
Anne turned off the television and walked over to Noriko.
"Can I come along too?" Anne asked.
"Sorry Anne but I think it's best if you stay here." Noriko told the girl as she stood up.
Anne frowned. "Eh?! But why?! I want to go too! I don't want to stay here doing nothing all day!" She complained as she threw her arms up in the air.
Noriko sighed, she didn't want to drag the girl into this and the others wouldn't want to as well. She then thought of an idea.
"Hey, after we're done with the meeting, you want to go buy some ice cream and walk around outside?" She suggested.
Anne beamed with a gasp. "Yes!" She said happily.
Noriko smiled, "Alright. Just stay here and don't leave the room for any reason." She said as she walked over to the door and placed her hand on the door knob.
"Oh, and don't open the door to strangers, got it?"
"Got it!"
Noriko closed the door behind her and the moment she turned around, she met a pair of blue-green eyes.
"Oh, hey Jojo." She greeted him.
"Where are you going?" Jotaro asked.
"I'm going to Mr. Joestar and Mr. Avdol's room to meet up. Aren't you going too?"
"Meet up? I just came from the store buying a pack of cigarettes and I was going to check up on the Old Man. Did something happen while I was gone?"
"Well, I honestly can't say for sure. I'm sure it has something to do with an enemy Stand. I can't think of another reason on why we need to meet up with them now." Noriko responded.
"Hmph." Jotaro grunted under his breath.
"Then let's go." He said as he proceeded to walk down the hall.
"W-Wait!" Noriko protested and walked in front of him. "What about Polnareff? Shouldn't you check to see if he's alright?"
"He's either already with gramps and Avdol or taking his sweet time getting ready." Jotaro replied flatly and walked around the teen.
Noriko sighed and walked beside him.
When Polnareff hanged up the phone, he called up the front desk requesting a first aid kit to patch up his ankle since he had wrapped it with dirty underwear without realizing it.
In an instant he was under the bed trapped after trying to find his keys and heard footsteps run around the room. His arms and legs were tied on each corner of the mattress.
"W-Who's there?!" He shouted and before he could get a clear view of who's doing this, shampoo was squirted into his eyes.
"AAAGHHH! MY EYES! Is this shampoo?!" he screamed and heard the legs of the bed frame getting sawed off.
The mattress collapsed and a knock came from the door.
A small figure jumped up, hiding somewhere in the room.
A man opened the door with a med-kit in hand. "Mr. Polnareff, room service. You had requested for a first aid kit."
Polnareff widened his eyes. "G-Get out of here! You'll get kill-!"
It was too late, the man's face was cut off with a razor blade and dragged inside the hotel room. The door slammed shut with a Do Not Disturb tag on the doorknob.
"Kekekeke!"
Polnareff watched the figure run around the room but disappeared behind a wall and reappeared next to his face with the razor blade.
"What the-!" It was the creepy doll he had set back on the dresser.
It had an evil expression on his face with sharp teeth. One of its eyes was red with blood leaking out of it, just like the same wound Silver Chariot gave to Devo.
Polnareff starred at the doll with a frightened expression.
"KEKEKEKE! POLNAREFF HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME?! HOW DARE YOU GOUGE ONE OF MY EYES OUT YOU BASTARD!"
"This doll is alive?! Wait a minute...This doll...he's..." Polnareff narrowed his eyes.
"SILVER CHARIOT!" The swordsman Stand manifested on top of the bed but looked around in confusion.
"YOU'RE FUCKING DENSE POLNAREFF! DIDN'T YOU KNOW ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOUR STAND TO FIGHT WHERE IT CAN'T SEE?! KEKEKEKE!" The doll dodged Silver Chariot's blade, running under the Stand, cutting its leg.
"GAAAAHH!" Polnareff shrieked as he tried to look down at his leg, seeing the blood gush out.
The doll laughed as Polnareff's Silver Chariot began to attack.
"YOU SUCK POLNAREFF!" The doll taunted as he jumped around, dodging the attacks.
Avdol and Joseph turned their head at the door from hearing a knock and see Noriko and Jotaro walk in.
"I see you found Jojo on your way here. What about Anne?" Avdol asked.
"I told her to stay in the room until we're done with the meeting. I thought bringing her here would put her in danger since she's not a Stand user herself." Noriko said and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Good, then we're only left with Polnareff." Joseph said as he crossed his arms.
"So what happened?" Jotaro questioned as he still had no idea on what was going on.
"Polnareff was attacked by a Stand when you had left. He called saying the enemy ran off and would meet up with us in five minutes." Avdol responded.
Joseph glanced up at the clock. "He is running a bit late though..."
"Should I go check on him? You did say he was attacked before calling you guys. Maybe the enemy came back and is fighting Polnareff." Noriko said.
Joseph nodded. "Nah, he's probably using the bathroom or looking for his keys."
Noriko looked over at the door as she was beginning to worry.
"If he doesn't show up in another five minutes, we'll go check on him." Jotaro said.
"GYA! LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARD!" The doll snarled at him as he swung his small spear around.
Silver Chariot had pulled a blanket over the doll to block its vision.
"Now that I have you still, I'm gonna snap your spear in half!" The moment Silver Chariot snapped the spear, the doll swung his razor blade across the Stand's hand.
Polnareff frowned as he groaned from the pain. He bawled up his hand tightly.
"WAAAHH!" He screamed as his Stand recklessly struck all over the room. He ended up breaking the mirror from the dresser in front of him and cut the rope that had him bound under the bed.
"Finally, I just need to call Silver Chariot under the bed and get the hell out of here!"
He heard the doll rapidly run around pouring some liquid on the carpet.
The doll came to a stop in front of the mini fridge and repeatedly stab the soda cans and beers, throwing them all over the room. The doll dropped everything and sat down hunched over, not uttering a word.
"Hm?" Polnareff starred at small figured as he was confused on what was it trying to do.
Suddenly the doll turned its own head back.
"Hey! Polnareff! I'm gonna bite your damn balls off! KEKEKEKEKE!" He threatened as his sharp teeth spun in a circular motion as his head did the same thing.
"H-He's a nasty little fucker...!" Polnareff muttered.
"SILVER CHARIOT!" Polnareff growled but the doll dodged his attack and jumped on the pendant lamp that was above the bed.
"Hey! Polnareff! Take a good look around you and the feel the carpet in this room! Do you have any idea what I've done?"
Polnareff gasped as he looked at his hands feeling the sticky soda, juice and booze on him.
"I purposely spilled them on the bed and around you! And guess where this malfunctioned hair dryer is going to go next!" While holding onto the pendant lamp, the doll had the hair dryer on the other hand.
"Y-You bastard!" Polnareff looked over at the shattered mirror and smirked.
"I guess luck is on my side..." He thought.
"Die! Polnareff!" The doll shouted as he dropped the hair dryer below him.
Joseph tapped the table a couple of times and sighed.
It's been over ten minutes since Polnareff said he would meet up and still hasn't shown up.
"Jotaro, Noriko, go check up on Polnareff and see what's taking him-" Joseph was cut off when he heard the door opened.
They averted their gaze at the person who entered.
It was Polnareff. His hair was all over the place and covered in blood.
"Finally you're here! You're late Polnareff!" Joseph scolded at the Frenchman.
"S-Sorry guys..." He groaned as he slowly walked towards the group while leaning against the wall.
Noriko then glared at Jotaro. "See, Jojo. I told you we should've checked up on him before coming over here!"
Jotaro grunted under his breath as he pulled the brim of his hat down.
While Noriko treated the Frenchman's wounds, he explained to them everything of what had happened after hanging up the phone with Avdol.
Avdol crossed his arms, "I can't believe it. An enemy Stand user was already here before we had even arrived..." He remarked. "But it's a good thing you made it out alive. Usually Devo's opponents end up dead."
"He wasn't that tough anyway." Polnareff commented. "He was just a creepy little fucker."
"And done." Noriko said as she lightly patted Polnareff's shoulder.
"Thanks Noriko." Polnareff said and rose from the chair.
Another knock came from the door and this time it was the police. They arrested Polnareff when the guests in the hotel had saw him walking down the halls from seeing him covered in blood and bruises and an employee finding a dead body in his hotel room. The Stand's user dead body was found in a bathroom stall by another employee and since nobody saw Jotaro, it all pointed to Polnareff.
After being taken to custody, Joseph left to make a phone call to the Speedwagon Foundation to make them pull some strings to release Polnareff.
Before Noriko and Jotaro left, Avdol requested for the teens to purchase train tickets so they can leave tomorrow morning. Apparently their next destination is India but they would be taking a couple of trains and boats to get there.
Joseph returned to the room and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Polnareff will be released in a couple of hours." He informed.
Avdol, who was sitting on the opposite side of Joseph, replied with a Hmm.
"That was very close. Who could've thought that Dio's followers would attack much earlier than we had anticipated. Getting any rest would be difficult at this point." Avdol said.
"As long as Dio is using my grandfather's body, he'll know every movement me and Jotaro make. That's why he's relentlessly coming after us." Joseph explained. "On the other hand, we can read Dio's movements as well."
"In that case I'll purchase another Polaroid camera." Avdol suggested.
"There's no need for that." Joseph told the Fortune-Teller as he rose from the bed and pointed at the television.
"I can create spirit photos even without a camera."
"I beg your pardon?"
Both men walk over to the television and Joseph kneels down.
He placed both hands on each side of the television and used his Stand to wrap around it. It turns on and the channels rapidly change to another. It got to the point where the channels became static and spiraled.
"What are you exactly trying to do?" Avdol asked.
"My Stand is going to connect the words from all the channels into a sentence. It's almost as if I'm creating a spirit audio instead of a photo." Joseph informed with a smirk.
-There-
-is-
-a-
"You heard that Avdol?"
"Yes, I heard There is a…"
Joseph narrowed his eyes as he concentrated more.
-trai-
-tor-
-among-
-us-
"What?!" Joseph said in shock.
"I clearly heard it very well, Mr. Joestar! It said, There is a traitor among us… But who is betraying us?!"
-Ka-
-kyo-
-in-
-No-
-ri-
-ko-
-Be-
-ware-
-of-
-her-
-Di-
-o's-
-ser-
-vant-
"WHAT THE-?! NORIKO?!" Joseph baffled.
"Impossible! Noriko is Dio's servant?!" Avdol said.
The channels chaotically changed again but this time an image appeared. It revealed a man with his back turned, the birthmark of a star could be seen on the base of his neck.
"I-It's-!"
The blonde man turned to the side, covering his face and chuckled.
"Joseph Joestar! You're watching me aren't you?!"
The glass on the television began to shatter.
"DIO!"
"Watch out Mr. Joestar! He's found us!" Avdol warned and the television exploded.
Both men were thrown across the room, hitting the walls with their backs.
"W-What does this all mean?!" Avdol queried as he groaned.
"Just as you heard Avdol." Joseph replied as he and Avdol stood up. "It said very clear that Noriko is Dio's servant and will betray all of us!"
"I apologize Mr. Joestar but there must be a mistake! I refuse to believe this from what your spirit audio said! Jotaro had removed the flesh bud from Noriko!" Avdol declared.
"My spirit audio and photo's never lie. Avdol, you're not the only who's shocked about this, so am I. I trust Noriko with all my life. There must be a reason on why she turned her back against us!"
"But if she's really working Dio then she has an opportunity to kill us while we're asleep!" Avdol said.
"That would make Noriko as Dio's Trojan Horse…" Joseph said.
"Where is Noriko at the moment?" He inquired.
"She's with Jotaro and Anne. I had told them to buy train tickets for our travels tomorrow." Avdol responded.
Outside the hotel were Noriko, Anne and Jotaro strolling down the streets.
Anne had an arm wrapped around the delinquent's forearm while Noriko quietly followed behind with a menacing look on her face. It was the same stare she had given Jotaro when she first saw him on the school yard back in Japan.
A sinister smile appeared on her face as her bangs shadowed over her eyes.
To Be Continued….
At first I wasn't planning on adding the Devo fight but after rewriting parts of the chapter multiple times, I ended up doing so.
Also, Noriko's uniform was based of this cosplayer who cosplayed as Female!Kakyoin - saikocosband/art/JJBA-JOTARO-AND-KAKYOIN-FEMALE-729170036
Isn't it cute?! ( ▽ )
