Noriko briefly glanced at the rear-view mirror seeing Avdol's body on the ground. She felt guilty for just leaving him behind right now she and Polnareff had to get away from the enemy. She averted her attention back on the road as she and Polnareff were quiet.

Polnareff placed a hand on his forehead, "I…I'm sorry Noriko. I wasn't thinking clearly…" He said sincerely. "I thought as long as I avenged my sister's death, I didn't care if I died along with my enemy. But now I fully understand what Avdol was trying to tell me. I won't let his sacrifice go to waste!" He looked at Noriko.

"I'll fight to keep on living!"

Noriko shifted her eyes at Polnareff. "Do you fully understand?" She asked.

Polnareff sighed, "Yes."

In an instant, Noriko punched the Frenchman hard in the face. Blood immediately gushed out of his nose.

"OW! What was that for?!" Polnareff yelled as he placed a hand on his nose.

"Take it as a handshake that we made up, Polnareff." Noriko said with tears in her eyes.

"R-Right...Thanks, N-Noriko..." Polnareff groaned.

"When they come after us again, I swear you and I will defeat them together." Noriko declared.

She tightened her grip on the steering wheel. "I can't bear losing another friend." She muttered as a tear rolls down her cheek.

Meanwhile back at the city, Joseph and Jotaro found Avdol's body from hearing the civilians screaming about a fight that broke out and that someone was shot.

"Avdol...my old friend..." Joseph said in a low tone.

The elder Joestar crouched down to check the fortune-teller's pulse while Jotaro picked up a bloody headband that was next to Avdol.

It was hard to believe that their friend was now gone. It was too soon.

"Tch!" Jotaro tightly clutched the headband.

"Back over there, I actually thought I had stabbed him with my sword." Polnareff said as he scratched his nose. "But nothing happened to him. Is like I didn't do anything to him when I attacked him. There was no resistance."

He grabbed the rear-view mirror and ripped it off.

"Even when I break the mirror his Stand can still attack me from the shards. It attacks my reflection from inside the mirror! But my Stand can't go inside a mirror. How the hell we're supposed to attack him when he's in some kind of mirror world?! Damn it!" He tossed the rear-view mirror out of the truck.

"Polnareff…" Noriko said. "You keep saying inside the mirror and the mirror world but there's no such thing. Remember Polnareff this isn't some kind of fantasy world, this is reality."

Polnareff turned to Noriko with confusion.

"What are you talking about?! You saw it too, didn't you?! His Stand can only be seen in the mirror but when you turn around, he's not there!"

"I am aware of that. But anything you see in a mirror is just a reflection created by light, nothing more." Noriko stated.

"I'm not an idiot! You don't have to tell me that!" Polnareff retorted. "But listen, in this case isn't it different? If Stands exist, so could a mirror world too!"

"Wrong." Noriko replied.

"Oh, come on!"

"I believe the secret to behind the Hanged Man must have something to do with how mirrors work. Stands are able to defeat other Stands. His Stand must have a weakness that we don't know about-"

Noriko was interrupted by a flash of light that came from the steering wheel. For a moment she thought she was just seeing things but when she leaned a bit closer, the same flash of light came again and this time the Hanged Man appeared. The Stand was climbing on the back of the truck.

Noriko's eyes widened and looked at the back of the truck. Nothing was there. Turning her attention back at the steering wheel, the Hanged Man charged at her and Polnareff.

"Polnareff! He's on the chrome plating of the steering wheel!" Noriko shouted.

"What?! That bastard chased us all the way here?!"

The Hanged Man breaks the rear windshield and takes out his knife.

Noriko slammed the breaks and swerved the truck, causing it to lose control. The truck spun around in circles and went over a small hill. Both Noriko and Polnareff braced themselves for the impact as the truck crashes upside down.

Polnareff was the first person to crawl out of the truck and gave Noriko a hand.

"Are you alright, Noriko? Polnareff groaned as he pulled her out of the truck.

"Ngh, I slammed my chest pretty hard but I'm fine though." Noriko grunted as she and Polnareff got on their feet.

In the corner of the Frenchman's eye, he spotted the flash of light jump from one reflective surface another. It stopped at the truck's chrome bumper and Polnareff summoned Silver Chariot to slice it into pieces.

"Noriko! We need to stay away anything that's reflective!" Polnareff said.

Noriko and Polnareff ran to a nearby rock and hid behind it. They panted heavily as they tried to catch their breath.

"I finally get it now..." Polnareff panted. "I just saw him do it. He's going from mirror to mirror. He moves by jumping from one reflection to another. He traveled all this way by reflecting over and over. It's the only explanation on how he caught up to us."

"Reflecting...that means his Stand works like a light! He's a light-based Stand!" Noriko stated.

"I just saw him on the truck's bumper." Polnareff said. "He's going reflect off that surface onto something else. We need to stay clear from anything that's reflective. That includes any jewelry you and I have on. Quickly, we need to take them off!"

After removing all of their jewelry and placing it in one of Polnareff's pouches, a little Indian boy casually approached them.

"Hey, are you two alright? I see that you're bleeding mister, were you in an accident? I can bring some medicine for ya'."

"We're fine! Look, it's too dangerous out here so go away!" Polnareff tried to shoo the boy away.

Noriko gasped when she saw the flash of light again but had no idea where it went to.

"Huh? Are you sure, mister?" The little boy asked as he leaned a bit closer.

Noriko and Polnareff widened their eyes as they saw the reflection of the boy's eye. The Hanged Man stood behind the Crusaders on the reflection.

"T-That asshole!" Polnareff yelled.

"He's reflected in the little boy's eye!" Noriko pointed out.

J. Geil gave them a dark chuckle.

"Listen kid! Don't look at us!" Polnareff demanded.

Both he and Noriko tried their best to not be seen by the little boy. The little Indian boy was confused on what they were doing and not knowing what was happening.

"How many times do I have to keep telling you?! Stop looking at us!" Polnareff said.

"Huh? But you're hurt..."

"I'm perfectly fine, see?! I'm moving around normally now look away!" He gave the boy a fake smile.

No matter how many times Polnareff tried to convince the boy to look away, it wasn't working. Polnareff heard a dark laughter coming from the Hanged Man. On the boy's reflective eye, the Hanged Man appeared right behind Polnareff.

"Damn you, J. Geil!" Polnareff growled and summoned his Silver Chariot.

"Heh, heh, heh, what are you going to do with that Silver Chariot, Polnareff?" The Hanged Man queried. "You're not planning on cutting this cute little boy's eyes out, aren't you? Polnareff!" He grasped Polnareff's neck.

"Gah!" Polnareff choked out.

"Polnareff!" Noriko cried out.

"I finally got you!" The Hanged Man said. "You can't run anymore unless you gouge out the little boy's eyes! HEHEHEHAHA!" He pulls out his knife.

Noriko glared at the Hanged Man as she clutched her fists and gritted her teeth. She was infuriated for what he was doing. "He killed Polnareff's sister, stabbed Avdol in the back, and now he's using a child as a hostage because he knows we won't attack him..." Noriko thought as her anger built up.

"You cruel, disgusting bastard..." Noriko seethed. "You'll pay for this!"

Suddenly Polnareff chuckled.

"Don't worry, Noriko! That's not what you say at a time like this!" Polnareff said with a smirk. "Listen closely, when you're facing your sworn enemy, you have to say something like this...My name is Jean Pierre Polnareff! For the honor of my dearest sister's soul and so my good friend Avdol may rest peacefully in the heaven above...I'm going to hurl you in the depths of despair!" He summoned Silver Chariot and pointed at the child.

"Prepare yourself, J. Geil!"

"What the hell are you blabbering about?" The Hanged Man asked. "You already lost you idiot!"

Polnareff smirked, "That's what you think." He glanced at the little boy. "Sorry about this kid but I'll buy you any candy you want!" He kicked the sand into the boy's eyes.

"WAAH! You got sand in my eyes!" The little boy immediately closed his eyes, forcing the Hanged Man jump to another reflective surface.

As it jumped to the nearest reflective surface, Silver Chariot swiftly struck him within a split second.

Noriko stood there speechless. "P-Polnareff! It's in your eye!"

"I don't fully understand how its powers work but it moves at the speed of light. Normally nobody could see speed like that but..." Polnareff pointed at the child. "I knew if the child closed his eyes, the next move would be to my eye. There was no other place for him to go so that's how we'll beat him."

"I see..." Noriko said. She was impressed by the Frenchman's strategy. "That means when the reflection is gone, he has to migrate to another reflective object."

"As long as I can read his trajectory, I can slice through like butter!" Polnareff said.

"GRAAAHHHHH!"

A painful cry was heard from a distance. It came from the ruins nearby them.

"So that's where he is..." Polnareff muttered as he furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes.

"Come on, Noriko! Let's get that bastard!" He and Noriko sprinted their way to the ruins.

"You bastard...Finally!" Polnareff growled.

Making it at the top of the stairs, they found a man lying on the floor. He was sweating and panting heavily as blood soaked through his shirt. It was obvious he was injured and the wound was the same place from where Silver Chariot had sliced the Hanged Man.

Noriko and Polnareff approach the man as they glared at him.

"At last we meet, J. Geil!" Polnareff said as he clenched his teeth. He was trying to control his anger.

"My name is Jean Pierre Polnareff and I've seen through your Stand's clever little trick! It's a Stand of light that moves at incredible speed that not even my Stand can keep up. However, your Stand is defenseless when it migrates and you can only go in a straight line. But as long as I know your Stand's trajectory, I can slice it up just what I can do to you! If Noriko and Avdol hadn't showed up, I probably wouldn't have figured it out and you would have killed me."

He walked closer to the man. "Now...let me finish you off slowly!"

Noriko gasped when she saw the man's left hand. It was a normal hand.

"Polnareff! He doesn't have two right hands! This man isn't J. Geil-GYA!" Noriko was cut off when something sharp and painful struck her back.

"Noriko!" Polnareff shouted as he saw a knife on her back.

Noriko fell on her knees with a grunt. Polnareff quickly removed the knife, throwing it to the side and looked around.

"Come out you asshole!" Polnareff yelled.

A dark chuckle was heard nearby them.

"Kekeke! Over here!" A raspy voice said.

A man crawled out from his hiding spot. He was bald with an abnormal head high crown and gaunt looking face with blank, white eyes. He was bleeding from his chest and both Crusaders saw his two right hands.

"I'm the real J. Geil, you dumbasses!" J. Geil said. He pointed at the man who Noriko and Polnareff thought was J. Geil at first. "That man is just a drifter who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. I just carved a small wound in him, just like the same one you graciously gave me! You idiots carelessly approached him without knowing a single clue of how I looked like!"

Noriko clenched her teeth as she and Polnareff were furious.

She's had enough with J. Geil and stood up. "You bastard!" She growled as her Stand summoned.

"TAKE THIS! EMERALD-"

"Ah, ah, ah!" J. Geil waved his finger. "Take a good look around you. Kehehe!" He had an evil smirk and raised up his arm.

"Hey everyone! Gather 'round!" He called out at a group of beggars who were hanging around the area. "These fine travelers are giving out money!"

"What?!" Both Noriko and Polnareff said in shock.

"They'll give us money for nothing? How kind!"

"You're so generous!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

A crowd formed around the two Crusaders.

"Keke, have you figured out what's going on?" J. Geil asked.

Noriko and Polnareff widened their eyes as they saw the Hanged Man on one of the beggar's reflective eye.

"You said you saw through my Stand's trick?" J. Geil said. "You're such an idiot, Polnareff! Did you really think I didn't know my own Stand's weakness?! It's my Stand so of course I'll know its weak points!" The Hanged Man cut across Polnareff's chest and jumps to another reflective surface.

"Since there's so many reflective surfaces, you won't be able to tell where I'll jump to next! Now I have no weakness!" The mummified Stand cuts Noriko's arm and jumped again.

"Stop staring at us!" Polnareff told the civilians. "Look away!"

"There's no escape, Polnareff! What are you going to do?! Create an exit by slaughtering these innocent beggars?!" J. Geil laughed.

"Polnareff..." He continued. "You sacrificed your entire youth to pursue me and now look at yourself! You've come so far only to fail! What a waste of your youth I must say!" He chuckled. "But be assured, in this world without you, I will happily live on with pretty and cute women waiting upon me like your sweet sister!" He gazed at Noriko lustfully.

"I even see the next cute girl who's waiting for me!" J. Geil licked his lips.

Noriko shot a deadly glare at J. Geil and looked around. She was trying to think of a plan. "There has to be something for these people to get their attention on something else!" She glanced at Polnareff and saw two pouch bags on his hips. That's when she got an idea.

"By the way, Polnareff, your sister did a great wailing performance...hehehe!" J. Geil snickered.

Polnareff clutched his fists tightly as his blood boiled and eye twitched.

"Why you...!"

Noriko chuckled, "Polnareff..." She called him out. "I know you can do a lot better than that."

The Frenchman turned his attention at Noriko, who was smirking.

"When exacting revenge, you don't say something lame like 'Why you', you have to be more refined. This is what you say...My name is Kakyoin, Noriko! In order to avenge my dear friend Avdol and for the soul of my friend Polnareff's sister may rest in peace for all eternity..." She lifted up her hand, revealing a gold coin.

"...I will have you pay with your life!"

The beggars widened their eyes in excitement.

"Huh? Hey wait a minute where did you get that?!" Polnareff queried as he recognized the coin.

"I took it from one of your pouches with my Stand while you were distracted by J. Geil." Noriko admitted.

"This gold coin will belong to whoever catches it! Just look at it shine! You can basically see yourself in it!"

Polnareff blinked twice, realizing what Noriko was planning to do and smirked.

"I see, Noriko..." He said.

Noriko tosses the coin high up in the air. The crowd focused their attention at the gold coin. Since their attention is at the coin, J. Geil's Hanged Man now only has one place to migrate.

"Merci, Noriko!" Polnareff thanked Noriko then kicked the sand into the beggar's eye.

J. Geil panicked as the beggar closed his eyes, making the Hanged Man move to the gold coin. Polnareff used Silver Chariot to strike the mummified Stand before it could reach the coin.

A red line from top to bottom appeared on J. Geil's face.

"AAAGHH!" J. Geil shrieked as blood trailed down his face and made a run for it.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Noriko shouted as she and Polnareff chased after him.

J. Geil ran up to a gate and tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. He turned around seeing Noriko and Polnareff already in front of him.

J. Geil clasped his hands together, "P-Please spare me, Polnareff! I beg you!"

"It appears you're the one who's good at wailing J. Geil!" Polnareff remarked.

"I... I was wrong! I'll do whatever you say! Just please forgive me!" J. Geil pleaded like a coward.

"Forgive you?" Noriko frowned. "After all the things you've done?!"

Polnareff clutched his fists, "My little sister, Sherry... must have said the same thing to you but you killed her to satisfy your desires!" He gritted his teeth as he summoned Silver Chariot.

"From here, you'll be wailing the entire way to Hell! But before the sentries of Hell have their way with you, there's one thing I must do myself. Skewer you like a kebab!"

Silver Chariot rapidly pierced J. Geil's face, creating holes all over.

"I've waited years for this moment!"

With the last couple of hits, Silver Chariot threw J. Geil up in the air. He landed on the fence upside down.

J. Geil was now dead.

"The devil can deal with the rest..." Polnareff said.

"As befits his name, he became a hanged man..." Noriko said. "He was rotten all the way to the core." She averted her eyes at Polnareff and patted his back. "You did it, Polnareff. You finally got your revenge." She gave him a smile.

Polnareff glanced at Noriko and returned the smile. He patted her back but Noriko instantly winced from the touch.

"Sorry! I forgot you were stabbed not too long ago." Polnareff apologized.

"It's fine. Let's just hurry back to the city and meet up with Mr. Joestar and Jotaro." Noriko said.

"Hold it!" That country accent, it was Hol Horse again.

Noriko and Polnareff were in the middle of walking back to the hotel but stopped when they heard the cowboy. After messing up the truck they had, they were lucky to find someone to drive them back to the city.

"I finally caught up with you two, hehe," Hol Horse smirked as he pulled out his revolver-like Stand and aimed at them.

"Little lady, you should run off so I wouldn't hurt ya'. I'm giving you the opportunity to save yourself before things get ugly. Your little friend here should be running as if his life depended on it. Ain't that right, J. Geil?!" He shot a random vase as a warning.

This made Noriko and Polnareff turn around.

"Say yer' prayers Polnareff! This is where your life comes to an end! So show me watcha' got! Right, J. Geil?!" He began shooting randomly at vases and windows.

The shards fell close to Noriko and Polnareff's feet. Polnareff stepped on one of the shards, making Hol Horse agitated.

"Tch! Hey! J. Geil! Where the hell are you to finish this bastard?!"

Noriko crossed her arms as Polnareff took a step forward.

"That's cute. He's spreading glass around for J. Geil but he hasn't realized that he's already dead..." Noriko said.

Hol Horse frowned and looked around, "Hey! Are you even listening J. Geil!"

"Nope." Polnareff said. "I doubt he can hear you since he's a little busy right now."

"Hm?" Hol Horse raised a brow.

"Busy down in Hell getting what he's had coming for a long time!" He summoned Silver Chariot beside him.

Hol Horse scoffed with a nod, "Hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't give me any bullshit, Polnareff! Your bluff ain't gonna work on me! There's no way in hell you two defeated him. Even I can't stand against his invincible mirror Stand! Come on, Polnareff, is this your idea of a joke?"

"That piece of shit's corpse is about two or three thousand meters that way." Polnareff stated as he pointed the direction of the ruins. "Wanna take a look?"

The cowboy stood there for a moment and immediately turned around.

"Sure thing!" He sprinted away.

"Hey!" Noriko shouted.

"Come back here you bastard!" Polnareff yelled as he and Noriko chased after the cowboy.

Hol Horse looked back seeing the two Crusaders running after him. "I don't stand against them fellas! I'm at a total disadvantage! There's no way I can win this alone! I have to get the hell out of here!" He thought. "I'll have to find myself another partner in crime! I'm that type of person who shines when he's teamed up with someone else! That's the motto I go by! Why be number one when you can be number two! Got a problem with it?!"

He turned to a corner only to meet by a fist to the face.

Catching up to the cowboy, Noriko and Polnareff saw Jotaro and Joseph.

"Mr. Joestar! Jojo!" Noriko said in relief.

Joseph uncrossed his arms, "We already know about Avdol..." He began. "We gave him a simple but proper burial."

Polnareff and Noriko grew upset and glared at Hol Horse.

"The one who stabbed Avdol in the back was J. Geil, the man with right hands, but the direct cause of death was Hol Horse's bullet." Noriko stated. "What shall we do with him?"

"Allow me to give him his sentence..." He walked forward to the frightened cowboy and summoned his Stand. "...The Death Penalty!"

Hol Horse widened his eyes. "W-Wait! P-Please! Spare me, Polnareff! I'll do anything! Ok?! Ok?!"

"Every one of them begging for their lives..." Polnareff growled. "You can't get off that easily in this world...I'll teach you that!" Before he could attack, an Indian girl threw herself on top of Polnareff, tumbling him.

"Please run, my dearest Hol Horse!" The gird yelled.

"Who the hell is this woman?!" Polnareff shouted.

"I have no idea what's going but I'm always concerned of your well-being! It's my reason for living!" The girl tightened her grip around Polnareff. "I'll do anything to keep you safe my darling! So please run! Hurry my love!"

"Let go of me you stupid bitch!" Polnareff told the girl as he tried to shrug her off. "Jotaro! Noriko! Don't let Hol Horse get away!"

"I think it's a bit too late for that..." Noriko said.

Hol Horse got on a horse. "Very well said, my love! I won't waste your kindness! I'll escape with my life!" He rode off and turned his head to the side. "Remember, I'm only running away because I love you, baby! Our love is forever! Don't you ever forget that!"

Polnareff growled under his breath, "D-Damn you!" He managed to get back on his feet but the girl still had her arms wrapped around him.

"You bastard! Get back here!" He yelled as he tried to still chase after him with the girl clinging to his leg.

The girl yelped in pain from having her elbow scraped against the ground.

"Ahh! My ass! Let go of me you dumb-!"

"Stop Polnareff." Joseph told the Frenchman.

"Why?! That bastard killed Avdol!"

"Now is not the time to chase off after him." Joseph said as he walked up to the Indian girl with a white fabric. "We don't have time to make a side trip. And this girl was just another of his victims. Besides, he didn't have any intentions of fighting us anymore so there's no point of going after him."

"Avdol's gone..." He continued. "But we have to forge ahead. It's been fifteen days since we left Japan so we don't have any time to waste." After wrapping the bandage on the girl's elbow, a drop of her blood fell on his arm without knowing.

Polnareff took a deep breath, "Damn it..." He said. "Well, it can't be helped." He took a few steps forward and turned around facing everybody.

"All right! Let's get back on the road to Egypt!" He said. "Listen up! In order for us to defeat Dio, we must fight as one! If we split up and go off, will play right into the enemy's hands! Got it?!"

"Now let's go!"

The Joestar group chuckled and followed behind the Frenchman.

"But before we leave, Polnareff, let's get our wounds treated before they get infected." She reminded him.

"Oh! R-Right. I had forgotten about that." Polnareff said.

As they walked off, the Indian girl stared at Joseph's arm where her blood had dropped to. The blood that fell in Joseph's arm was now a small wart.

Joseph felt an itch in his arm and began scratching it. Without Joseph and the rest of the group knowing, the wart made a tiny sound.

"Chumimin...!"
